Box Score -- Photo Gallery -- Postgame Press Conference
CARBONDALE, Ill. - After three-straight losses, in which opponents averaged 80 points per game, Southern Illinois head coach Chris Lowery recognized something was amiss with his team. When senior forward Tony Boyle spoke up after last week's loss at Western Kentucky, everything came into focus.
"Tony Boyle told me I was too soft," Lowery said, shortly after his team smothered Saint Louis, 64-48, Tuesday night. "I let some things slip, and that was on me. I needed to get back to coaching how I need to coach, and these kids responded."
Four days of old-school, rigorous Saluki practices paid off as the Salukis (3-3) were able to wear down and frustrate the Billikens (2-4) throughout the game, holding them to 36 percent shooting, including 3-of-16 from outside the 3-point arc.
"Our practices have to be harder than the games," Lowery said. "They can't be reversed. We've been resting on defense for three-straight games, and we didn't rest at all on defense (tonight). We flew around and buzzed around."
Open shots were few for Saint Louis, especially early. The Bills missed their first eight shots and converted only one field goal in the first nine and a half minutes of the game.
"We were in position," Lowery said. "We never allowed them to get any penetration, and we never allowed them to get to the point where they really got an angle on us defensively. I thought our rotations were great."
The Salukis led, 24-16, at halftime, and were paced offensively by their bench, which scored 14 of the points. Christian Cornelius was a key factor, scoring five of his seven points in the first half, including a dunk with 3:30 remaining that put SIU up by nine.
SIU did much of its damage from the free throw line, making 27-of-31 shots from the charity stripe. Carlton Fay had only two field goals on the night, but he finished with a game-high 17 points by making all 12 of his free throw trys.
Southern never trailed in the game and steadily pulled away in the second half. After Saint Louis closed the gap to 39-33 with 9:02 remaining, SIU reeled off a 6-0 run. The burst featured a nifty pull-up jumper by Kevin Dillard, who scored nine points off the bench. Minutes later, the lead was up to 14 as Bryan Mullins knocked down a shot for two of his eight points.
"Mullins gets two baskets, and it seems like they were 22 baskets, and both of them were going left," said Saint Louis head coach Rick Majerus. "We talked to them about left, left and left some more. I don't know if he can complete a play going right."
Overall, Majerus was impressed with his opponent.
"I'd be surprised if they did not win their league," he said. "They've got older players and good depth. I thought their freshmen played well. They're a good club, and I applaud them for their effort. They clearly beat us."
Lowery admitted he gave his young team too much freedom prior to tonight's game, saying it was time to reign his young squad in.
"I told them they did it their way for the first five games, and now they're going to do it my way for the rest of the season," he said.

To the editor:
Political leaders, media and the public need to stop state Medicaid leaders from committing an egregious overreach that is blatantly unfair and will have a disastrous impact on public and private health care providers.
On May 23, N.C. Medicaid first announced to Personal Care Services providers a retroactive rate reduction from the then-current $15.52 an hour to $14.32 an hour from October 2013 through the end of that year, and then to $13.88 for 2014. The reduction took effect in the May checkwrite.
On July 2, Medicaid announced in a webinar to providers how the retroactive cuts will be recouped. The bottom line is that private and public providers were contracted by Medicaid to provide PCS services to patients, duly referred by Medicaid�s assessment agency, for a set fee. These agencies provided the services, billed Medicaid and were paid for the services. There is no issue of non-compliance or malfeasance.
The basic tenet of contract law should dictate that Medicaid has no authority to now recoup these funds.
The cuts alone take the reimbursement rates back several years. That is enough. To now expect providers to pay back these retroactive cuts is very wrong

ISLAMABAD: A spokesman of ISPR on Saturday denied the allegation of British Daily Telegraph which accuses Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) for running a defamation campaign through a Bangladeshi tabloid "Blitz weekly" against Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, DawnNews reported.
The spokesman said these allegations are absurd and baseless. "The ISI has nothing to do with this defamation campaign and neither any problem exists between the foreign minister and the agency," said the spokesman.
According to Blitz Weekly, the married foreign minister, who has two young children with her millionaire husband, and Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) co-chairman, want to get married and have been regularly talking on the telephone and sending one another cards.
The tabloid claimed President Asif Ali Zardari is firmly opposed to their alleged relationship and had sought details of their mobile telephone conversations to establish the facts.
The ISPR spokesman said it is handiwork of those who want to weaken the state by creating misunderstanding between various institutions. It is not something new because such people have been fabricating misleading and impish stories in the past as well, he added.
The British daily needs to behave more responsibly and confirm veracity of information from respective entities before printing such malicious stories.
The spokesman termed the allegations involving the agencies as rubbish and part of a propaganda campaign, and said that we reserve the rights to take legal action on such anonymous reports without quoting any names and sources.
According to Daily Telegraph, senior PPP figures on Thursday said they believed the claims were part of a plot by the ISI to damage Khar's reputation because it blames her for her part in facilitating a UN investigation into thousands of missing people detained by the security forces.
One PPP official told The Daily Telegraph that the ISI expects the United Nations' Working Group on Enforced and Involuntary Disappearances to recommend senior army and intelligence officials be charged for their role and blame Ms Rabbani Khar for allowing the delegation into the country.

Proposal in Congress: No Gilad Shalit, No Gaza Aid
Hillary Clinton pledged $900 million from U.S. for Palestinans, one third of which was to help rebuild Gaza.
WASHINGTON - A new initiative by members of the United States Congress seeks to condition the transfer of the $900 million for the Palestinians on an end to rocket fire on Israel from Gaza, and the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton pledged the $900 million during a conference in Egypt this week to raise money for Gaza reconstruction, in the wake of Israel's three-week offensive aimed at halting rocket fire on its southern communities.
Shalit has been held captive in Gaza since June 2006, when he was snatched from his army base in a cross-border raid from Gaza.
The proposal followed a meeting on Capitol Hill between Noam Badin, the director of the communications center in Qassam-battered Sderot and several members of Congress and their advisors.
After the meeting, Rep. Shelley Berkley of Nevada drafted a petition to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, which demanded that the financial aid be delayed for as long as the rocket fire continues and Shalit remains in captivity.
Berkley, a Jewish politician well-known in Congress for her support of Israel, backed the Israeli operation in Gaza during December and January, and even told Haaretz that maybe Israel had been too tolerant.
State Department spokesman Robert Wood said last week that $300 million of the total sum pledged by the U.S. would go to meet "urgent" humanitarian needs in Gaza.

I want to develop an application that allows its users to define workflows and then executes them.
My environment is JBoss so naturally I'm considering jBPM.
I can NOT use the jBPM graphic workflow design tools since my workflows are very specific and I don't want to expose my users to all jBPM features.
- Is jBPM robust and scalable?
- Is jBPM standard (i.e., used by enough people)?
- How do I tie my own workflow GUI to the jBPM engine?
- Is jBPM suitable for the job, should I consider a different platform or maybe do it (the workflow logic) myself?

Remnants of church guest books, audio speakers, and part of a door handle are strewn on the lawn of the Doors of Healing Tabernacle Church in Lansing.
Those are the items that are still recognizable after flames exploded inside the building late Wednesday night.
As investigators tore through the roofless building on Thursday, they looked for clues that would help them learn what started the blaze.
Nothing seemed suspicious says Rob Ellis, the church pastor. He left the building about an hour before the flames started, but says nobody was inside and the ceiling fans were turned off.
Fire investigators say the blaze appears to have been an accident. While they are still looking into the cause, they say the church had a lot of electrical equipment in the attic, where the blaze started.

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — FAU Police shot a man reported to be "homeless" on a roof of a building in the research park at Florida Atlantic University. The situation is under control and the campus was not locked down.
FAU's police chief Charles Lowe says that it is unclear if the homeless man was threatening anyone, but he apparently "produced a knife."
Chief Lowe will not say whether a knife was recovered at the scene or if his officers were threatened by the man.
The man — believed to be between 20 and 30 years of age — was transported to Delray Medical Center where his condition is unclear.
The situation is now under control.
The State Attorney's Office has been called in to investigate the shooting. The status of the officers involved is unclear.

The Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) is the next part of
training after the academic stage, sometimes referred to as the
vocational stage of training.
The purpose of the BPTC is to ensure that students
intending to become barristers acquire the skills, knowledge of
procedure and evidence, attitudes and competence to prepare
them, in particular, for the more specialised training in the
twelve months of pupillage.
The full-time BPTC runs for one academic year; the part-time
course for two years. All students are required to be admitted to
an Inn of Court before registration on the Bar Professional
Training Course.
Please read the
Health Warning about prospects on the course,
before proceeding.

The Pere Marquette 1225 isn't officially "The Polar Express," but if you visit this season, you won't be able to tell the difference. The movie's train was designed with its blueprints, sounds, and even some of its old train schedules and light bulbs, digitally animated to create the realistic images.
The real train is still running in Owosso at the Steam Railroading Institute. It once sat on MSU's campus, but it was moved and put back into use in 1980. The director of the institute served as technical director for the film.
To visit, go to their Web site at www.mstrp.com.
The movie is playing on regular screens all over the area and on IMAX in Lansing at Celebration Cinema. The IMAX version is 3-D.

I know it will be not the same anymore but I want to try, and I'm sure Witek and Covan [DECAPITATED singer Adrian Kowanek, who was also hurt in the accident] will support me and will be happy about that."

"Sacher" is an institution closely connected with Austria's history and frequently also with the history of Europe.
Let us travel back down memory lane to the not always "good old times", which later became the victim of nostalgic and sentimental desires: back to the Viennese Biedermeier – to the year 1832.
In that year, the still omnipotent "Coachman of Europe", Prince Klemens Wenzel von Metternich, issues the command to his head chef to create a delicious dessert for fastidious honourable guests, "He is not allowed to bring dishonour upon me tonight!" And this at a time when the head chef is confined to his sick-bed! The commission is passed on and ends up with a sixteen-year-old second-year apprentice cook, the bright "lad" Franz Sacher… Nobody knows exactly what happened hereafter.
The Hotel Sacher around 1900 © Hotel Sacher Vienna
There are many legends surrounding it. In any case, the delicacy presented to the nobility was of exceptionally good taste: this tender, fluffy chocolate cake with zesty apricot marmalade under the icing.
History is full of anecdotes; but that this "delicacy set forth on a unique triumphal march around the world", as a religious writer relates, is not at all far-fetched. Franz surely remembered very well how he succeeded with his "stroke of genius" amongst a small group of people. The fully trained chef, after years of learning the trade with Prince Esterhazy, ventured first to Bratislava, then Budapest to strive for independence: he offered his composition once again, this time on a grand scale. And he won: before long there was great demand everywhere for the "cake of Sacher" and probably the most famous of cakes began its triumphant success around the world.

Cake Sacher-style
(this is not the original recipe)
For 1 baking pan 22-24cm diameter = 12 servings
130g butter
110g caster sugar
1 single sachet of vanilla sugar (8g)
6 eggs
130g cooking chocolate
110g granulated sugar
130g plain cake flour
Butter for greasing the cake form
Apricot marmalade for filling
125ml water
300g granulated sugar
250g plain chocolate
Melt the cooking chocolate. Add the caster sugar and vanilla sugar to the butter until creamy, stir in egg yolk bit by bit, then add the melted chocolate and mix properly.
Whip the egg white with the granulated sugar until creamy and carefully fold it into the melted chocolate mix. Finally stir in the flour.
Pour this batter into the baking pan (which has been well greased with butter), put it into the preheated oven at 170 degrees C and bake it for 1 hour; for the first 15 minutes, leave the oven door open a finger's breadth.
When ready invert the cake and let it cool.
Heat up the apricot marmalade to 70 degrees C.
Slice through the cake in the middle, spread the marmalade onto the lower half and put the cake together again. Coat all the outside with marmalade; after that leave it to dry off for at least 2 hours.
For the icing, cook the sugar with the water for about 5 minutes and let it cool down.
Soften the chocolate in a water bath and mix with the still warm sugar solution so that you get a thick, smooth icing; should it become too thick, thin down with some water.
Pour the lukewarm icing over the cake and spread all around.
Put the Sacher cake into a cool place until icing is dry. Then cut it into 12 slices and serve it with whipped cream as desired.

Curtis Johnson addressed the media today during his final weekly football press conference in 2012.
Nov. 20, 2012
New Orleans - Despite his team dropping its last three straight games, first-year Tulane head football coach Curtis Johnson remained upbeat and said his team was doing the same when he took the podium on Tuesday for his weekly press conference on in the Hall of Fame Room at the James W. Wilson, Jr. Center.
At 2-9 overall and 2-5 in Conference USA play, Tulane will close out the season this Saturday at Houston and Johnson stated a victory in the finale would go a long way for his first team. He also talked about the progression the team has made over the course of a season filled with adversity.
Tulane will kick-off in Houston on Saturday at 2:35 p.m. in the final game at Robertson Stadium. Tickets to the Houston game and future Green Wave events are available through the Tulane Athletics Ticket Office. The Ticket Office is located on the first floor of the Wilson Center on Ben Weiner Drive, and tickets can be purchased in person, over the phone at 504-861-WAVE (9283) or via the Internet at www.TulaneGreenWave.com.
TULANE HEAD COACH Curtis Johnson
Opening statement
"Last week's game was a great effort. I thought the guys really played hard. I thought they wanted to go out and give the seniors a going away present their last game. They had their high school coaches from all over and their families were there. We just fell a little short. But I was pleased that they played hard. [East Carolina] is a good football team. I feel that that was probably one of the better teams we played in the conference. I think those guys and Tulsa are two really, really good football teams and Coach (Ruffin) McNeill did a really great job with those guys and I thought we fought hard, but just came up short."
On his reflection on the season and his biggest takeaway:
"I think the biggest hurdle we had was the incident with Devon Walker and Devon's situation was just a weight I think on everybody--there's still a bit of a weight. But the losses, when they come, they're always tough, but I think that weight just knowing that a fellow teammate, a fellow brother--he's like a son--is just weighing. It's still weighing on us, but it was, for a minute there, it was like we're all in a fog. I think that was the toughest thing and dealing with it. Credit the players to get them back to playing football was amazing by them. You know I always brag about these young men because they're character guys. You know character...character, character, character. You know I love all of them."
On how much tougher the injuries made it:
"There are a lot of guys who are playing across the country who are injured. I think we have some injuries that we have to be careful with. We have some other injuries that are season-ending injuries. We have a couple knees here and there, so I think the season has taken its toll on us. You know I thought we were a little under, not only undersized, but just a little bit under-numbered at certain positions, especially with defensive positions, and we just didn't have enough bodies on defense. And then all of a sudden, this time of year, the wear and tear has caught up with us."
On Houston having a similar Devon Walker type injury:
"You know I would say this: our prayers go out to this young man and his family. He was one of their better players just like Devon was one of our better players and he's out for the season, but you know fortunately I think the future is bright for both of those young men. We just have to continue to pray and continue to support them. But it's a tough deal for any football team to go through."
On junior kicker Cairo Santos:
"He's amazing. I am proud of Cairo because Cairo, in the past, had his struggles and you know they've been well-documented. But he has overcome some of those struggles and to be the kind of kicker he is, he's always chomping at the bit to kick one farther and kick one farther. He's not backing down for anything. He's done a great job of kicking off also. It's just an honor to have a young man that competitive in the nation, to represent our school--a classy young man. And I think it goes back to (Ryan) Rome and Billy Johnson too. That operation has been sensational. I mean I don't think they've had one [field goal] even close to being blocked. It's just off and gone. Sometimes they all don't look pretty but they all just find a way of going in."
On if he feels like he has made a proper amount of progress for next season, and how important is it to get a win on Saturday:
"The win is very, very important because the biggest thing about a win is guys come out and they practice hard. These young men have been practicing hard all year, and you want to have a reward for them--and winning is the reward. And there's no substitution, I mean there are some moral victories but I don't really believe in it. But winning is the number one reward that you want. I think the program is going to move along. We had our adversity this year. I think there are some young players in the program and that's an indication of what the program will be like in the future.
There're a lot of young guys that are coming back in this program that are exceptionally good football players, and I'm not just talking about (Darion) Monroe, (Lorenzo) Doss and I'm not just talking about freshmen. There's a young offensive line that's mature to be one of the better parts of our team. These receivers when I first got here, with Keith Williams' direction as a receivers coach, they've made impeccable strides. The tight ends are playing well and the running backs are playing well, so offensively, it's good.
Defensively I think the secondary is in good shape coming back. I think we have some young defensive lineman that will be back. A bunch of freshmen that we're playing, we've got four freshmen standouts-- (Aaron) Bryant, (Corey) Redwine, Royce (LaFrance) and Calvin Thomas--are guys that will be here the next few years. We got some young linebackers and like I said the secondary. I think we are moving in the right direction. I think the number one thing that you've got to ask yourself as a coach--you know I'm highly competitive, I'll compete with my wife who can brush their teeth first. I'm beating her to the toothpaste--but the competitiveness is, are these guys quitting? I don't think so. I'm looking for guys in the program that I can point out and say `Hey, look man, you can't quit on us,' and I don't see it very much. So I think we are moving in the right direction."
On breaking in a new starting QB next season and what is the realistic expectation for next year and talk about the junior college issue:
"The update on the junior college issue is we have submitted some junior college guys' transcripts and some stuff and we're just waiting to hear back on what players we can and can't get in and who we believe can realistically try to graduate. It may be none or it may be some guys who we may like their transcript, but we may not like them athletically compared to some of the freshman. So, that's where we are in the recruiting process with the junior colleges and I think if there are one or two guys at a junior college that we see that can really help us and can really make an impact, I think we'll go after them, but I also understand that this school is a challenging school and I wouldn't have it any other way. I want them to graduate, so if I don't feel like they can do that, I won't mess with them.
The good thing about the quarterback whoever it will be next year, and you know as of right now we have one scholarship quarterback after this game that's coming back, and we have a walk-on so we're going to have to go out and recruit some quarterbacks. The good thing about whoever is the starter, you probably play him in front of someone else just thinking, and this is off-the-cuff and I haven't put much thought in it, but we also have all of the running backs back, all receivers are back, the only lineman we're losing is Eric Jones. All the tight ends are back, so now instead of breaking in everyone on a whole new offense, you can limit what you're doing offensively because everybody's played. Last year, it was the opposite. (Ryan) Griff(in) was the only player who played and everybody else besides Eric Jones were new. (Orleans) Darkwa was back but was injured early in preseason camp. But now we have the opposite and I like either scenario. I like this one where everybody around [the quarterback] will be better because they played, and so the quarterback will come in and he doesn't have to be Superman or Spider-Man. He can just be himself and I think we'll be fine."
On changing the culture:
"Well you have to step back and look at culture. What I like about the culture here is-- and from what I'm seeing-- is that there's enthusiasm. I don't see guys hanging their heads too much. I see a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of guys running to the football and I see a lot more plays being made. And then another thing when you're talking about changing the culture, one, you have to change the winning percentage, but what leads up to winning? Here's what leads up to winning: enthusiasm, playing together as team, not letting the next man down and never quitting--that's the one thing--and I saw that the other day. Because, if you were to tell me that we're going to East Carolina and have a chance to win that thing, play close and almost have a chance to win it at the end, it's no different than the Rice game. You're starting to play, and early on we're getting blown out. Then as we got moving and we started to move closer and closer to wins. Now the next thing to do is we just got to push it on over. I think we're still easing up the hill a little bit but we're almost to the summit and then we'll start rolling down and we'll start collecting the wins and that will be the total change. But you could win games and the culture would be the same, they'll be better players, but I think the six inches between the ears is getting a lot better."

AMES, IowaCeline Paulus admits her freshman season did not go as planned. Still recovering from fracturing her right leg in two places and a stress fracture in her back that she endured in high school made the usual adjustments for a freshman gymnast even harder. As a result, Paulus struggled to find a place in the Cyclone lineups.

I defined a Java interface to represent the ability of an object to copy itself (no, I don't want to use
Cloneable, but thanks for the suggestion ;-). It's generic:
public interface Copiable<T> {
T copy();
An object will only make copies of its own type:
public class Foo implements Copiable<Foo> {
Foo copy() { return new Foo(); }
Now, I'm reading
Class<?> objects from a non-generic API (Hibernate metadata, if that is of interest to anyone), and, if they are
Copiable, I want to register them with one of my components. The
register method has the following signature:
<T extends Copiable<T>> register(Class<T> clazz);
My problem is, how do I cast the class before passing it to the method? What I'm currently doing is:
Class<?> candidateClass = ...
if (Copiable.class.isAssignableFrom(candidateClass)) {
This does what I want, but with a compiler warning. And I don't think I'll be able to express the recursive bound in a runtime cast.
Is there a way to rework my code to make it typesafe?

I'm having some trouble with my Zimbra NE admin web interface after the 5.0.10 upgrade. (5.0.9 to Release 5.0.10_GA_2638.UBUNTU6_64 UBUNTU6_64 NETWORK edition)
I also have some reports from our users that there are problems with scripts running too long in IE. We've been taking the opportunity to switch users to Firefox, which handles the script in a reasonable amount of time. I don't really have enough information to say if the two problems are related, other than they were both noticed after the 5.0.10 upgrade.
I can log into the admin interface well enough, and most things work, but when I click on our student domain (we have XXXX.org and students.XXXX.org), a tab opens but the information is not populated at all, and an error follows.
Watching the net traffic with firebug, I can see it getting stuck on a soap call 'SearchDirectoryRequest', and when this happens, an error box pops up with the detail saying: Message: Unknown Error Method: SearchDirectoryRequest Details:InternalError: script stack space quota is exhausted.

BEAUTIFUL CREATURES will release their sophomore album, "Deuce", on August 23, via Spitfire Records, an imprint of Eagle Rock Entertainment. The first single from "Deuce" will be "Anyone".The group, who were recently joined by former FLOTSAM AND JETSAM axeman Mark Simpson on second guitar, are excited about the return of the band. "It took a long time to complete 'Deuce' because we didn't want to have any throwaway songs on it," said vocalist Joe LeSte. "It's a very well-rounded album and we're very happy with it. We're all focused and have a very positive attitude.
"We're all about perseverance," he continued. "You have to remember that when our first album came out, there was no THE DARKNESS or VELVET REVOLVER, and we endured being a 'rock band.' Yet we played with KISS, then we played on Ozzfest and got a great reception and then toured for another year."
The rabid, overwhelmingly positive reaction BEAUTIFUL CREATURES received from their early fans even exceeded what the veteran members had experienced in their previous bands. LeSte was the lead vocalist with BANG TANGO and Simpson (a new addition to the band, along with drummer Timmy Russell) was the lead guitarist with FLOTSAM AND JETSAM, but BEAUTIFUL CREATURES sound nothing like them.
BEAUTIFUL CREATURES will be performing at various radio shows to promote "Deuce", including a August 27 appearance at the Motorycycle Mayhem in Fresno with LIT. "BEAUTIFUL CREATURES is a gang," LeSte said. "We're a team. We put our heart and soul into everything." BEAUTIFUL CREATURES' self-titled debut was released in 2001 via Warner Bros.


text: Photo Gallery Cocaine Submarine Pictures: New Seizure Shows Advances Hand-built by drug smugglers, a "game changing," hundred-foot craft seized this month shows how far cocaine subs have come. PUBLISHED July 14, 2010 0 1 / 7 Cocaine Submarine Seized July 2 Ecuadorian police pose atop what U.S. officials called a "game changing"submarine built by drug smugglers on July 2 near the town of San Lorenzo (map), just south of the Colombian border.Unlike previous known "cocaine subs," which could dip only just below the surface, the illegal craft appears capable of diving as deep as 65 feet (20 meters).Seized before its maiden voyage, the 98-foot-long (30-meter-long) fiberglass sub was big enough to hold six to ten tons of cocaine and six crew members. The remote swamp camp where it was built was outfitted for up to 50 workers, though only 1 was present at the time of the raid.With a ballast system never before seen in a cocaine sub, the handmade sub suggests smugglers are rapidly improving on the more common, semisubmersible designs, which are already difficult to detect."It's obviously an eye-opener," said Michael Braun, a former chief of operations with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), which assisted in the seizure operation."There's been a lot of speculation," said Braun, now with Spectre Group International, a private security company. "But now there's direct evidence that the bad guys have the ability to build these things and put them into service."(Related: Get cocaine-submarine pictures and facts from the National Geographic Channel.) Photograph from Reuters Cocaine Torpedo Much more primitive than the fully submersible cocaine submarine seized on July 2, unmanned "torpedo subs"—like this one seized in Buenaventura, Colombia, in 2008—are filled with contraband and towed underwater behind a fishing boat, doctor and former smuggler Miguel Angel Montoya said in the online documentary Colombian Narcosubs.If approached, smugglers can simply cut a torpedo loose and let it sink—a tactic used by crews of all types of narco-subs. Because most manned cocaine subs stay at the surface, a crew can quickly escape into a raft while scuttling the ship.The simple torpedo sub, though, may be in for a high-tech makeover too. Remote control cocaine torpedoes are believed to be in the works, according to Montoya.(Watch cocaine-submarine videos.) Photograph by Jaime Saldarriaga, Reuters Cocaine-Sub Stash Six tons of cocaine—from a 32-foot-long (10-meter-long) cocaine submarine seized off Mexico's Pacific coast—sit on a Salina Cruz (map) dock in 2008.A typical cocaine sub—most of which are never discovered—can carry four to ten tons of the drug, according to former DEA official Braun.U.S. and Colombian officials estimate that about 70 new cocaine subs—carrying perhaps 400 tons of cocaine—will be launched in 2011 alone. And that's not all such ships could transport."My concern is the growing nexus between drugs and terrorism," said Braun, who added that many terrorist organizations have ties to the international drug trade."These submarines," he said, "obviously could have applications other than moving drugs."(Related pictures: "Cousteau's Shark-Shaped Submarine.") Photograph by Eder Lopez, Reuters Captured Narco-Sub The Colombian Navy forces a handmade submarine, laden with 1.6 tons of cocaine, to make an unscheduled stop in the Pacific port of Tumaco (map) in 2008.Built of fiberglass and powered by ordinary marine diesel engines, most cocaine subs skim the surface of the Pacific undetected by radar as they cruise north from South America, DEA agents told National Geographic for the recent documentary Inside Cocaine Submarines.Once in Central America or Mexico, the cocaine is transported via other means to the drug's ultimate destination, the United States.Costing about a million dollars each to build, most cocaine subs are scuttled after just one successful run. But fully submersible craft, like the one seized in Ecuador on July 2, are clearly designed for repeated use, former DEA official Braun told National Geographic News.(Related pictures: "World War II 'Samurai Subs' Found—Carried Aircraft.") Photograph by Mauricio Duenas, AFP/Getty Images Inside a Cocaine Submarine Pictured at a U.S. government facility in Key West (map), Florida, in 2009, the old-fashioned captain's wheel inside a jungle-built submarine was used to steer seven tons of cocaine north from Colombia via the Pacific before being seized in 2008.Drug smugglers used to call the typical homemade sub el ataúd—"the coffin"—according to the New York Times. But the craft are becoming increasingly sophisticated and now boast modern electronics, navigation systems, anti-radar features—and even water-cooled mufflers, which make cocaine submarines harder to spot with infrared equipment.Criminal engineers are also extending the narco-subs' ranges, with some craft capable of cruising 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers) without refueling, according to the recent National Geographic Channel documentary Inside Cocaine Submarines.(The National Geographic Channel is part-owned by the National Geographic Society, which owns National Geographic News.)(Also see "Cocaine, Spices, Hormones Found in Drinking Water.") Photograph by Carlos Barria, Reuters Russian Drug Sub? Pictured in the Bogotá, Colombia, warehouse where it was confiscated in 2000, this hundred-foot (30-meter) narco-sub was found surrounded with Russian-language design documents. It could have carried at least 150 tons of cocaine or heroin, according to Colombian national police.Based on recent advances seen in cocaine-sub technology, experts believe submarine engineers from developed nations are providing technological expertise."Nobody, not even the cartels, is going to invest millions of dollars in a submarine unless they've got proven engineers on hand that know what they are doing," Braun said. "That's just a reality of the situation."(Related: "Cocaine on Money: Drug Found on 90 Percent of U.S. Bills.") Photograph from Reuters Drug-Sub Deck On March 26 a Colombian Navy sailor walks the deck of a homemade semisubmersible drug sub, which was seized by police before it could be launched.Despite high-profile seizures, authorities believe dozens of cocaine subs have successfully delivered cargo bound for the U.S. drug market—and the problem may be growing. U.S. law enforcement officials now estimate that more than a third of the Colombian cocaine smuggled into the U.S. is carried on narco-subs, according to U.S.-government estimates cited by the Washington Post."The traffickers have now exhausted every option in the maritime domain," said Jay Bergman, DEA director for the Andes Range region, in a press statement. "There is literally no means of illicit marine-drug transport left to the imagination."(See pictures of Colombia's "cocaine country.")

Kobo eReader Touch Review
For the most part, Kobo eReader Touch reviews are upbeat about this third-generation ebook reader from Kobo. It uses the same six-inch E Ink Pearl touchscreen as the Nook and Sony Reader Wi-Fi, and reviews say text looks crisp and dark and the touch interface is nicely stripped-down and intuitive. Although expert reviews on sites such as PC Mag and Tech Crunch give it high marks for its clear focus on the reading experience, they note it falls a bit short on execution when compared with the leading brands. Reviewers like the ability to choose among 17 font sizes and seven font styles -- you can also load your own special font -- and set margins, line spacing, and justification. They note the absence of potential distractions, such as no support for audio files and limited social networking options, and commend the tap- or swipe-initiated actions, limited flashing with page turns (refresh occurs only every five to 10 pages), and all-around ease of use.
And yet, Kobo eReader Touch reviews qualify their enthusiasm for the device with mild critiques of its performance. Engadget, for example, says that swipes to turn the page sometimes responded with flips in the opposite direction or not at all. Experts carp about the lack of a page-turn button, which some users find easier for one-handed reading, and PC Mag, among others, reports occasionally lags in response time. It can zip through pages at times, but loading at the end of a chapter can be slow; ditto when using the virtual keyboard to search for a title.
The Kobo eReader Touch (starting at $100 with ads, $130 without) is smaller and thinner than other ebook readers in its class, but the narrower profile may not be as ergonomically-friendly. One Kobo eReader Touch review notes that the plastic border around the screen isn't wide enough to serve as a thumb rest and another says it isn't quite as comfortable in the hand. The quilted plastic back, though, provides a good-grip surface. Other features include 2GB of onboard memory (although the specs say only 1GB is readily available), a microSD card slot, Wi-Fi connectivity, a USB port, and 15 pre-loaded book previews. The eReader Touch supports EPUB, PDF, and MOBI; TXT, HTML, and RTF; JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, and TIFF; and CBZ and CBR for comic books. The Kobo bookstore stocks about two million titles, half of which are in the public domain.
The cheapest Kobo eReader Touch costs $100, but it displays ads and other offers when it's turned off or in sleep mode, as well as in places such as the bottom of the home screen. The ad-free version starts at $130. This ereader is very similar to the Barnes & Noble Nook and Sony Reader Wi-Fi, but it isn't quite as snappy and lacks some of the polish. It's not enough of a miss to cause reviewers to give it a thumbs-down, but enough for them to make note of it. This is a basic ereader with appealing aesthetics -- qualities that deserve respect.

I was thrilled that Michelle, owner of Green Diaper Demos, agreed to write this AWESOME post on cloth diapering a newborn, since she just gave birth to her adorable son, Mavick and since she is such a total pro when it comes to diapers. If you are about to have a baby, I highly recommend buying from her because she is fantastic about helping people troubleshoot issues.
Read below for her feedback on cloth diapering a newborn and check out the end of this post for some great discounts!
On February 29th, I gave birth to my second son, Mavick. I was very excited to start cloth diapering from birth this time since with my first son Michael, I found out sadly that my entire stash of one size diapers did not fit him at birth at all.
The Stash
I have a variety of diapers for Mavick (including of course all the diapers his older brother used). In his "newborn" stash I included: SoftBums Echos, Mini Bamboo, and Mini Dry Touch pods; Thirsties Duo Wraps, Duo Fab Fitteds, Duo Diapers, and the new Duo AIOs; itti bitti d'lish AIO, d'lish SIO, and boos; ones&twos AIO; Heiny Liney's newborn Versa diapers; Oh Katy One-Size Pocket; Mother-ease newborn Sandy's; and a bunch of prefolds and flats too.
Softbums Echo, Thirsties Fab, Softbums Echo
Thirsties Duo Pocket, Thirsties Duo AIO
Hiney Liney, Oh Katy, Itti Bitti Boo
First Impressions
I already knew the SoftBums Echos, a one-size diaper, would fit right away from seeing pictures on other babies but it was awesome seeing it first-hand since this had been my favorite brand in Michael's stash. My husband and I decided that it would make a great first baby diaper since we didn't know how big Mavick would be and the cover is lined so the only fabric of the diaper touching his skin would be soft. I was pleasantly surprised with how the Oh Katy diapers fit right away since we had trouble with our other "one size fits all" pocket diapers with Michael. Those newborn hip snaps are pretty cool! I was also surprised as the days passed how much I really liked using fitted diapers under the SoftBums Echos and Thirsties Duo Wraps since I had never really been a fitted kind of person with Michael. The Mother-ease Sandy's fit wonderfully beneath the cord stump as did the Thirsties Duo Fab Fitteds and itti bitti boos but since the Thirsties are velcro, I think I like them more! (I am TOTALLY a velcro kind of gal). I love the versa-tility (he-he, get it?) of the Heiny Liney's Versa diapers since they can be used as a cover, an AI2, pocket diaper, or AIO (we used it mainly as an AIO).
I am sad to say however at one month old and somewhere around 11 lbs, Mavick is outgrowing his newborn diapers. The Thirsties diapers are all still at the middle rise snap but the Mother-ease and Heiny Lineys are on their way out to be retired. I now either double up on the SoftBums mini pods at one usage or use a full sized bamboo pod.
I am happy to say that so far little Mavick has not experienced a disposable diaper. That may not always be the case, but I like being able to say that for now. We have only had a couple of leaks out the leg with a full diaper but no up-the-back or out-the-leg "blow outs."
Let's Celebrate
On April 1st 2 years ago, I opened Green Diaper Demos to help others experience the joy of cloth diapering that I had discovered. Help me celebrate with a sale!! Code "YEAR2" will get you 10% off of most items in the store. In addition, most items are already marked down on sale (so in reality most items in the store will be marked down for a total of 10-25%!!!). On through 4/7/2012.
Oh Katy is also offering their own special of buy 5 get 1 free for the entire month of April!! Put 6 Oh Katy diapers of your choice in your cart and enter coupon code "KATY" to have the value of the 6th one deducted!

In Plain Sight: 10 Smart Solutions for Everyday Organizing
From the Archives: Greatest Hits
Storage doesn't always mean clear plastic bins that you squirrel away in a closet. Small space dwellers in particular don't have the luxury of hidden spaces, like basements, to keep stuff out of the public eye. And sometimes it's nice to keep things close at hand, without having to rummage around in a closet for what you need when you need it. For these reasons and more, sometimes the smartest way to organize is incorporating storage into daily life.
Here are ten lessons you can learn from our house tours:

Is creative scholarship found only in research institutes? Across disciplines, the most notable names are teachers
Why do social sciences in India thrive best outside the university system, asks Pratap Bhanu Mehta, (Rigour in the margins, IE, November 15), lamenting that Indias most creative writers and social scientists (with the honourable exception of history) have been housed in research institutes cut off from students. Surely this self-congratulatory myth-making has to stop? This constant devaluing of teaching and the refusal to recognise the heavy odds that undergraduate and postgraduate teachers work against while still producing world-quality research, accompanied by mutual back-patting between a handful of Boys Club members that has become common sense across the media, because the Boys Club has clout in the media.
First, is it true that creative scholarship emanates only from research institutes? Certainly names can be named, justifiably awe-inspiring names Rajni Kothari, Ashis Nandy, Partha Chatterjee. But take a minute to scan scholarship across disciplines other than history (which Mehta concedes does not fit his claim) multi-disciplinary feminist work, sociology, literary studies, political science, economics almost every name that springs to mind is a teacher: Sharmila Rege, Veena Das, Alok Rai, Zoya Hasan, Sudipta Kaviraj, Prabhat Patnaik. I invite those literate in social science scholarship to continue the exercise and reflect on the tenability of Mehtas claim, especially when many high-profile members of research institutes neither teach nor publish.
Of course, Mehta is ignorant of the academic writing (not just newspaper pieces) in Indian languages produced by scholars who have primarily, if not exclusively, been teachers Sibaji Bandyopadhyay, Suhas Palshikar, T.K. Ramachandran. Equally importantly, Mehta discounts the hundreds of serious scholars produced by teachers who, through their lectures, have introduced cutting edge philosophy and social science to students in places in India where even Economic and Political Weekly is difficult to come by, let alone international journals. These students then reach Delhi and Hyderabad and Pune and Kolkata, go on to do doctoral research, publish, and some may even join research institutes. Research institutes are not produced in isolation.
Second, if a thriving democratic culture pervades the Indian academy, it is hard won and daily battled for by thousands of teachers across universities, in constant conversation and quarrel with their students, in classrooms and outside. Whether combating religious right-wings or economic neoliberalism, or patriarchy and sexual harassment, it is teachers and students who drag
