One glance across Utah's northern valleys during the winter months is enough evidence that we'd all benefit from cleaner fuels to power our vehicles, homes, schools and businesses. At the molecular level, Utah State University chemists are exploring ways to unlock low-emissions, sustainable energy from our galaxy's most powerful source: the Sun.
In the lab of faculty mentor Yujie Sun in USU's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, undergraduates Lia Bogoev and Nick Labrum are contributing to research aimed at developing efficient solar energy conversion, storage and use. Both students are recipients of USU's Undergraduate Research and Creative Opportunities "URCO" grants and they're among a group of about 30 USU students selected to present to Utah legislators Jan. 30, during the state's 2014 Undergraduate Research Day on Capitol Hill in Salt Lake City.
"My research is centered on creating easily produced solid-state catalysts for hydrogen production using earth-abundant elements," says Bogoev, who is a recipient of the Energy Solutions Women in STEM Scholarship. "This could have a significant impact on the energy industry because it could enable the production of hydrogen on-site."
Labrum's research is focused on understanding the roles of calcium and first-row transition metals in water oxidation.
"We're developing a model based on photosynthesis," says Labrum, who plans to pursue graduate study in inorganic chemistry. "Not many scientists have examined the role of calcium in this biological process, so this is quite new."
Sun says efforts by these researchers are key steps in renewable energy catalysis, which could pave the way for carbon-neutral, sustainable energy to meet the growing demands of global consumption.
His research projects are multi-disciplinary, which enable students to learn about basic science, while developing applied skills in materials science, photochemistry, electrochemistry and, in Bogoev's case, computer science.
"I've learned there's a whole data management side to research and I hope to develop programming tools scientists can use to make research easier," says Bogoev, who plans to earn a graduate degree in computer science. "Some of the current research software is neither intuitive nor user friendly."
Sun says he'd welcome Bogoev's foray into computer science.
"It would be very beneficial to have a computer scientist with a chemistry background developing tools for chemists," he says.

Hotel Event FAQs
Answers to the most frequently asked questions can be found here.
Why the Sheraton on the Falls Hotel?
You can't get much closer to the splendour of Niagara Falls than the aptly named Sheraton on the Falls Hotel. Winner of the CAA/AAA Four Diamond award, our hotel features opulent accommodations with the Sheraton Signature Bed, many with dazzling fallsviews and fireplaces. An array of suites offer preferred features such a Penthouse Two Storey floorplans, Juliet terraces and Jacuzzi tubs. Discover gourmet dining, four-season recreation, Christienne Fallsview Spa and our new Sheraton Fitness Centre.
The Sheraton on the Falls Hotel is an enchanting meeting destination. With indoor connections to Niagara's largest hotel conference centre, Casino Niagara, Hard Rock Cafe, Adventure City, and the Hershey Store, the Sheraton has become the cornerstone of the 20 acre Falls Avenue Resort. The Sheraton is proud to introduce the world's only Fallsview Indoor Waterpark. 16 Waterslides, a gigantic wave pool, outdoor activity pool, Tiny Tot's play area, and Beach House Play area make up some of the 125,000 square feet of Water fun. The Sheraton is steps away from Niagara Falls, and most of the most popular attractions in the City.
Whether you stay indoors or head out, the Sheraton on the Falls Hotel is your entrée into the excitement that is Niagara Falls.
Why Niagara Falls?
The Niagara Region is a magnificent landscape that draws over 20 million visitors each year, a diverse tourist destination that holds one of the world's greatest natural wonders, Niagara Falls. From the thundering power of the American and Canadian Falls, to manicured golf courses and undulating hills of the surrounding wine county, Niagara is bejeweled with wonderful sights. Whether you crave theme park excitement, casino action or historic museums and forts, Niagara has something for everyone.
Is the Hotel easily accessible by air?
We are conveniently accessible from two international airports: Toronto's Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is just an hour away. Canada's largest airport offers over 300 nonstop flights daily from over 35 airlines (non stop service to 25 Canadian and 53 United States destinations). An alternative is Niagara/Buffalo International Airport (BUF), 30 minutes away, offering nonstop service to 18 cities. Additionally, corporate aircraft can use the Niagara District Airport just 15 minutes away.
By Car, Niagara Falls is easily reached via the Queen Elizabeth Highway, Ontario's major roadway which connects to Toronto, Canada's largest city, and the New York State Thruway system.
Do you offer a fitness centre?
Yes, you will be able to keep your fitness schedule on track at the Sheraton on the Falls. Our new Sheraton Fitness Centre has just opened. Located on the 2nd floor, Sheraton Fitness is complimentary for all hotel guests and is available 24hrs a day. Home to treadmills, elliptical machines, stand-alone curl and press machines, stationary bikes, free weights, and a selection of fitness studio equipment you will have no excuse for missing your workout!
Will I be near area attractions?
Sheraton on the Falls Hotel is close to it all. The Sheraton is connected to the Falls Avenue Resort through indoor walkway, and is a quick walk from adventures in and around the Falls, and a short drive from the serene wine country.
What should I know about before traveling to Canada?
Currency: Due to exchange rate fluctuations, the most beneficial method of payment would be by credit card. The balance owing would be charged to the card in Canadian, and then processed into the currency of the country the card is issued from by the credit card company based on the rate of the day. The Front desk may be able to do an exchange in small denominations, however, a local bank would be the best option.
Electricity: Outlets and voltage (110 volts) are the same as in the United States.
Language: Canada's two official languages are English and French, but English is the predominant language in Ontario. Many banks, hotels, airline offices, service institutions, shops and key tourist destinations have multilingual staff.
Do I need a passport to travel to Canada?
All non Canadian citizens will require a passport, or approved document to travel by land or air in North America. This is effective June 1, 2009.

As budget season for the city approaches, the City Council will deliberate over which capital improvement projects should be placed on or removed from a list, and in what order those that pass muster should be embarked upon.
We hope that the recent suggestion, recommended by the Finance Committee and strongly endorsed by City Manager Dan Fitzpatrick, of constructing a permanent, aesthetically-pleasing restroom facility at the Common makes the cut. In fact, with a projected price tag of $55,000, it would not be a surprise, assuming a majority of councilors are of the same mind, to find the money elsewhere in the city budget and proceed with recourse to bonding.
Major cities take pride in their parks — Boston's "emerald necklace" and Seattle's "string of pearls" being but two examples, and although a community like Rochester is not quite in that urban league, we have no doubt that most Lilac City residents regard the Common as a jewel. In recent years, what began as common grazing land (hence the name), has received several upgrades. The signature bandstand has been carefully restored in character, while fencing, perimeter parking and a walking track have been upgraded, and a play structure for small children has been installed, thanks to money raised by public donations, via the efforts of former City Councilor Ken Billings and some active moms.
The veteran community, also, has recognized the Common as a focal point of city life. Over the years, with efforts spearheaded by such stalwarts as Al Benton and Bob Crout-Hamel, have installed flag poles and erected memorial stones for those who have served this country through military action. Accordingly, this section of the Common is the scene of solemn, commemorative events a number of times every year.
Throughout the summer, the Recreation Department puts on a variety of concerts attended by every kind of music aficionado — a pleasant spot indeed to lounge in a lawn chair, as long as the urge to use the bathroom does not overtake one.
Thus, it is apparent that the Rochester Common is used on a very regular basis by a very wide cross-section of the city's residents, spanning every age group, and pursuing multiple interests. The construction of public restrooms to replace seasonal portable toilets, would be a boon not just to one special interest group, but to a whole range of folks who come to the Common for exercise, to play with their kids or grandchildren, throw a Frisbee, listen to a concert, hit a softball, have a picnic, or pay homage to service personnel who are prisoners of war or missing in action.
Portable toilets certainly have their place, but those places tend to be such locations as temporary festivals or construction sites. A solidly built facility, attached to water mains and sewers — and those pipes were extended onto the Arthur's Market end of the Common during the last upgrade — will enhance what is already a beautiful and very appreciated part of the city.
We congratulate the mayor, the city manager and members of the Finance Committee for bringing things this far — including an initial building design — and hope that the public restrooms on the Common will become a reality by late next spring.
Restrooms at the Common... not money down the drain
As budget season for the city approaches, the City Council will deliberate over which capital improvement projects should be placed on or removed from a list, and in what order those that pass muster should be embarked upon.

> What you could try is to install without formatting, ...
One quick reaction before I leave for a ten days' vacation tomorrow:
Upon your suggestion I tried an Inplace Upgrade for my Win7_lost in the Recovery Environment (assuming that this is what your proposal amounts to). I got a choice between "Upgrade" and "User-defined", whereby "Upgrade" should keep files, settings and programs.
The "Upgrade" ends with a "Compatibility Report" stating: "The computer was started with a Windows installation medium. Remove the Windows installation medium and reboot the computer so that Windows is started in a regular way. Thereafter insert the Windows installation medium and start the Upgrade again..."
This "Compatibility Report" can only be terminated by pressing the "Close" button, which transfers me again to the blue Windows RE installation start screen where I can choose between Windows 7 installation and Computer Repair Options. Hence, I am in an endless loop and that answers my Question 2 of my last posting (which you did not answer) in the sense that an Inplace Upgrade is only possible in a regularly started Windows. So that proposal of yours does not get me anywhere.
I then ran "sfc /scannow" three times at the WinRE command prompt, whereby I made shure that offwinboot and offwindir pointed correctly to my Win7_lost. Again this changed nothing at all in the boot behaviour of my Win7_lost.
If you came up with a proposal what files and folders I could perhaps transfer from my functioning Win7_2014 to Win7_lost in order to make the latter work, I would try this after returning from my vacation. Otherwise I would consider all Win7_lost restoration attempts exhausted and content myself with the (already achieved) complete storage of my Win7_lost users directory in a Volume of its own where it is readily accessible.

ESET named as THE ONLY CHALLENGER
in 2018 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection Platforms
Safeguard your business
What is your company size?
Unbeaten Protection
ESET makes the only product ever to win 100 VB100
Virus Bulletin, an independent testing organization, presented its first Virus Bulletin Award (VB100) in 1998 and to this day is considered to be the most renowned accolade in the industry. With an unbroken record over 18 consecutive years, no other security product can claim to be the top performer by this independent testing and certification body.
IT, project management? First class. Deployment? Brilliant. Users? They never even noticed a change in the environment. Technical resources? Fabulous.
As an IT I've been worry-free since the first time we used it and I'm still worry-free now. It has made my life as an IT much easier.
I'm in IT, as a support consultant, and I cannot stress how many times I come across a machine that is running "Free" protection that has been compromised. ESET products are well priced, well supported and besides using a fraction of system resources compared to other brands, they are effective.
I use ESET NOD32 Antivirus on my PC and Mac at home, work and while traveling. It works quietly behind the scenes without ever interrupting what I do.
ESET, you are absolutely the finest in researching threats and malware. That's why I will never use any other antivirus software and I love that I upgraded to Smart Security. Your software is worth every penny. I am forever grateful to you and all that you do.

Report: Morocco honorary consul in Syria killed
The official Moroccan news agency says the north African country's honorary consul in Aleppo, Syria, has been killed by armed men as he left a hotel in the city.
The MAP agency, citing unspecified relatives of the honorary consul, reported Wednesday that Mohamed Alae Eddinne was killed the previous evening after armed men in a taxi attacked him among a group of his friends.
MAP says another person was also killed during the attack, without elaborating. The report said Eddinne, a Syrian national, was born in 1961 and had been the honorary consul of Morocco since 2001. Such posts are largely ceremonial.
Morocco is preparing to host next Wednesday a meeting of the Friends of Syria, an alliance of countries backing the rebels battling Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime.

The smarty pants folks at Universal have decided to push up the release date for "Oblivion" to April 23rd 2013 from it's original release date of July 10th. The movie stars Tom Cruise as soldier who's court marshaled and shipped off to a deserted planet only to find he isn't alone. I think I'd move to another planet too if I was promised I'd be alone with Tom Cruise. Not for the reason you're thinking, sicko! It's so I can have sex with him.
The only thing worse than beating a dead horse is beating a dead vampire. I don't think that makes any sense. But my point here is that Alcon Entertainment has tapped Brian Dannelly to direct their new vampire comedy "Suckers". I'm not going to bother explaining the plot because you can probably guess it. but Dannelly has directed episodes of "Weeds", "The United States of Tara" and "Pushing Daisies" so it might not be too shabby. But I'm a glass half full kind of guy.
You tell me Danny Trejo, Anthony Michael Hall and Mickey Rourke are going to be in a movie and I listen my friends. The movie is called "Dead In Tombstone" and apparently Trejo comes back from the dead to bring the hammer down on his half brother after being double crossed in a mine robbery. This might be the most perfect movie ever made. Minus Mickey Rourke actually. That guy creeps the hell out of me.
People are going to throw a fit but honestly Lionsgate teaming up with WWE to remake "Leprechaun" might be amazing. There's no script, no cast, and no real other news but what the hell can go wrong. And while we're at it I think Jennifer Aniston is delightful. There, I said it.

Saint John's University
A College of Distinction
A Unique Learning Experience
Saint John's University designs programs to meet the needs and aspirations of young men, emphasizing leadership and a personal development profile that includes intellectual, spiritual, emotional and physical development.
Its values-based and value-added residential liberal arts education provides the framework for fulfilling lives of disciplined inquiry and leadership in careers devoted to the professions, public life and service to others.
A Sense of Place
Set amid 2,700 acres of varied terrain, the Saint John's campus is remarkable in its natural beauty. It includes wetlands, several lakes, an oak savanna, a restored prairie, and hiking trails that wind through an extensive pine and hardwood forest.
In addition to its recreational value, the landscape inspires spiritual and artistic reflection and fosters the Benedictine traditions of land stewardship, education and environmental respect.
Leadership in a diverse world begins here.
The Intercultural Center celebrates the diversity of campus life and fosters intercultural competency.
The student-run Outdoor Leadership Center provides alternative leadership opportunities and encourages socially responsible life skills.
Through a four-year residential program, nearly all students live on campus, enjoying a vibrant atmosphere for personal growth and discovery. The Faculty Resident Program is a distinctive part of campus life whereby Benedictine professors and administrators live in the residence areas and serve as adult mentors. The program has been cited by external assessment teams as one of the major strengths of the college.
The Arts
The buildings at Saint John's date from the 1860s and are arranged in a series of quadrangles and courtyards. The Abbey Church, one of 10 campus buildings designed by Marcel Breuer, commands a central presence. With its towering bell banner and three-story wall of stained glass, the Abbey Church is among the most striking pieces of 20th-century architecture.
Saint John's is the home of The Saint John's Bible, the first handwritten, illuminated Bible commissioned in the western world in more than 500 years.
Athletics and Fitness
The Johnnies, competing on 12 varsity sports teams at the NCAA Division III level, regularly place among the top teams in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC). Best known for its winning tradition on the gridiron, the Saint John's football program has the best winning percentage in NCAA Division III history and has won 34 MIAC conference titles and four national championships. Its celebrated former coach, the late John Gagliardi, is the winningest coach in college football and the first active coach to be inducted in the College Football Hall of Fame. The SJU golf team has won two national championships.
Johnnies also participate in intramural leagues and on club sports teams.
Going Places & the Results
Nearly 90 percent of first-year students return for their sophomore year. Degree completion rates also exceed national averages. Roughly 80 percent of SJU students complete their degree within six years, compared to a six-year completion rate of 58 percent of all private college students and 36 percent of public college students.
Approximately 20 percent of graduates go directly to graduate school, while 80 percent find career-related positions or enter service work.

The other day I saw the excellent exhibition about Thomas Lawrence, the Regency portrait painter, currently on at the National Portrait Gallery in London. I was blown away by the intense glamour of his pictures. Here are some Lawrence portraits from National Trust collections.
Thomas Lawrence (1769-1830) showed great talent for drawing and painting from an early age. After his innkeeper father went bankrupt in 1780, the young Thomas's pastels and drawings became the family's chief source of income. In 1787 he moved to London and first exhibited at the annual Royal Academy exhibition. In 1789, aged just twenty, he was commissioned to paint Queen Charlotte.
Lawrence rose to the top of the Regency art world, being knighted in 1815 and becoming President of the Royal Academy in 1820. The Prince Regent, later George IV, commissioned him to paint a series of portraits of those instrumental in the downfall of Napoleon for the Waterloo Chamber at Windsor Castle.
Lawrence was adept at portraying the dashing vigour of soldiers, statesmen and dandies, but he was also extremely accomplished at capturing the beauty and character of his female sitters. His manner was so charming and flirtatious that it was said women were always falling in love with him while sitting for their portrait.
The children in Lawrence's portraits, moreover, always look spontaneous and carefree. He seems to have had a rare combination of social empathy, artistic perception and technical skill.
His paintings are also fascinating in how they convey the Regency cult of Sensibility through depictions of sparkling eyes, parted lips, tousled hair, pensive attitudes and moody skies.

Being a Critic of Israel Does not Make You Pro-Arab, Congressman Pascrell
by Shmuley Boteach
The first thing I did after winning the Republican nomination for New Jersey's Ninth Congressional District was invite my Democratic opponent, Congressman Bill Pascrell, to Shabbat dinner at our home, so we could meet as people rather than opponents. I conveyed the invitation in writing and spoke to him directly by phone. Unlike Pascrell's democratic challenger in the primary who attacked him mercilessly, I also wrote a highly respectful letter to Pascrell asking him to repudiate his signature on an infamous letter known as "Gaza 54," which falsely accused Israel of practicing collective punishment against the Palestinians and libeled Israel by fraudulently accusing the Jewish State of denying essential medicines and food from entering Gaza in the blockade. My letter was well balanced and thanked Pascrell for voting in favor of American aid to Israel. I also called Pascrell personally to invite him to Israel with me on a joint trip. Through all these efforts my intention was to practice a new kind of politics, foregoing partisanship and running an issues and values-based campaign where political opponents disagreed but always treated each other with respect and courtesy.
Sadly, I have now discovered that I am running against a career politician – now seeking his eighteenth year in Congress – a pro who would rather practice the politics of divisiveness and contempt that has so alienated the American electorate.
In response to my invitation for Sabbath dinner, after first accepting, Pascrell let it be known through a spokesman that he would not be attending. The invitation to visit Israel was met with stone-cold silence. A later phone call from our campaign politely asking Pascrell to a series of debates for the benefit of the district's constituents was similarly met, after the promise of a response, without even the dignity of a returned phone call.
But it was Pascrell's response on Israel and the libel he had participated in by signing the 'Gaza 54' letter that was the most offensive of all. I can forgive Pascrell for his continued contempt toward me by refusing to address me directly or even mention me by name, even in his letter written in response to mine. But his attack against Israel cannot be similarly overlooked. Pascrell answered my letter by repeating rather than repudiating the slander against the Jewish State. In an opinion piece in The New Jersey Jewish Standard, Pascrell wrote that the purpose of his signature was to "ensure that aid organizations were able to carry out their work on the behalf of civilians in Gaza… the blockade was too broad. In addition to preventing weapons from entering Gaza, it was also preventing medicine and food, as well."
Related coverage
This is a bald-faced lie and constitutes a direct attempt to delegitimize the Jewish state. Israel never stopped food and medicine from entering Gaza. Ever. Indeed, the only blockade imposed on Gaza was a sea blockade. Land routes were always open, albeit subject to inspections on the part of Israeli authorities to prevent bombs and arms from entering. It is regrettable that a United States congressman would participate in a deliberate effort to defame the Jewish State and join the ranks of its most determined enemies in falsely accusing it of preventing food and medicine from reaching Palestinians.
It is also regrettable that a politician seeking to become the elected representative of some of America's most Jewishly committed communities would falsely blame Israel for collective punishment against the Palestinians when the real culprit is the terrorist organization Hamas.
As I wrote in The Bergen Record in response to Julie Hurley, an activist who also libeled Israel over the Gaza blockade, I personally visited Gaza City on a solidarity trip to Israel with the Rev. Al Sharpton shortly after 9/11 and witnessed the unspeakable poverty that prevailed under Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority, even though, as The New York Times reported, by 2004 the Palestinians had become "the world's largest per capita recipients of international aid." As the Congressional Research Service stated, "the United States alone has committed over $4 billion in bilateral assistance to the Palestinians." Where did the money go? Sadly, very little of it ever trickled down to the Palestinian people, due to widespread corruption and theft on the part of the Palestinian leadership. In 2003, a team of American accountants – hired by Arafat's own finance ministry – claimed that Arafat had wealth in a secret portfolio worth close to $1 billion. Pascrell, during his sole visit to Israel, which was organized apparently by the Metro West Jewish Federation of New Jersey, decided to insult his hosts by suddenly visiting Arafat, even though, as the father of modern terrorism, Arafat's hands were utterly drenched with Jewish blood and he had stolen the food and medicine money of his own people.
Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in 2005, leaving behind no forces or blockade. But when Hamas came to power in 2006, rather than invest in infrastructure, they used their money for weapons to launch a war against Israeli civilians, firing thousands of rockets aimed at schools, hospitals and homes for the elderly. Contrary to the falsehoods contained in the Gaza 54 letter, Israel responded with a sea blockade only, designed to stop bombs and bullets from reaching Hamas terrorists. The land routes have always remained open and, as stated above, food and medicine and other essential humanitarian aid has never been prevented from entering.
Those who, like Bill Pascrell, accuse Israel of collective punishment by imposing the sea blockade run contrary to the ruling of the United Nations itself – not known for being favorably disposed to Israel – which declared in a July 2011 report that Israel's naval blockade was legal.
The effect of Pascrell's signature on the letter was to weaken Israel's ability to defend itself against Hamas, which rules Gaza with an iron fist and is dedicated to Israel's destruction and to attacking Jews wherever they may be found. Its covenant is deeply racist and filled with genocidal aspirations: "Our struggle against the Jews is very great and very serious. It needs all sincere efforts… until the enemy is vanquished and Allah's victory is realized."
Hamas is also an inhuman regime that brutalizes its Palestinian citizens and is regularly censured by human rights groups worldwide. Human Rights Watch has condemned Hamas for "serious violations of international law." I need not add how gays and women fare under Hamas rule, whose barbarity includes widespread honor killings of young women and whose usual excuse for persecuting gays is to label them "collaborators with Israel."
It is not Israel that is responsible for the suffering of Palestinians, but Hamas, which continues its murderous, terrorist war against innocent Israeli, as this recent report by Moran Stein in the Atlantic makes clear: "Late last month, Hamas fired 20 rockets into Israel, part of a 150-rocket volley launched by it and other Gaza-based groups."
Pascrell blaming Israel for the collective suffering of Palestinians is akin to blaming the United States for the deprivation of German and Japanese citizens during the Second World War.
The comparison, unfortunately, is not exaggerated. The Hamas Charter reads like a modern-day Mein Kampf: "The Day of Judgment will not come," it says, "until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say, O Muslims… there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him."
Ben Chouake, the head of NORPAC, one of America's foremost pro-Israel organizations, published the following regarding Pascrell's signature on Gaza 54: "There never was a blockade of food or medicine by Israel to Gaza, and Pascrell knows this. His explanation for his support of the letter, which could only damage Israel's reputation, is unfortunate. It is common knowledge this letter is a clear mark against the pro-Israel record of every signatory." But given this is so, what is more mystifying? That a Congressman who falsely attacked Israel refuses to repudiate his actions even while he seeks significant Jewish support, or that a famous Pro-Israel groups like NORPAC have declared themselves neutral on the race?
Palestinians are my brothers and it pains me deeply that there continues to be war between Arab and Jew. While visiting Arab inhabitants of Paterson recently, I heard the grievances of many who have family in Gaza and who feel Israel is indifferent to their plight. Every Palestinian life is of infinite and inestimable values and it is terrible that Palestinians continue to suffer in Gaza. But the solution is for Palestinians who currently live under the tyranny of Hamas to enjoy a benevolent, democratic government like the 1.5 million Arab citizens of Israel, who practice a glorious Islamic faith without encumbrance, publish newspapers without interference, and frolic in summer camps without fear. None of this will happen so long as Hamas continues its reign of terror in Gaza.
For over a decade – and well before the advent of the Arab spring – I have been one of the most consistent voices calling for international opposition to the dictators that suppress Arab rights and brutalize Arab citizens throughout the Middle East. Indeed, the Arab residents of the ninth district would be far better served to have Congressman Pascrell join me in calling for international action against President Bashar Assad of Syria – the world's foremost murderer of Arab life – than to perpetuate the canard that Israel is responsible for Palestinian suffering. Scapegoating Israel for the plight of innocent Arabs is one of the tools that these monster dictators have used to keep their people down.
Congressman Pascrell's failure to speak out in favor of the Arab Spring and condemn the mass murder in Syria – even once – from the floor of the House is an egregious dereliction of duty for an elected representative of a large Arab constituency. Over the past few years Congressman Pascrell has found the time to sponsor legislation on recycling plastic, to reduce tax on pickled pepper, and to commend the New Jersey Devils' goalie with an official Congressional proclamation. But in all that time, he has not found even a moment to address, from the floor of the House, the bombings of Arab civilians under Kaddafi in Libya, the murder of unarmed protesters in Tahrir Square in Cairo, or the shooting of children in the head at point-blank range in Syria. He has yet to call on the United Nations to indict President Assad for crimes against humanity. This unforgivable omission makes the notion of Congressman Pascrell being the pro-Arab candidate downright farcical. You are not pro-Arab simply by being a critic of Israel. You are pro-Arab when you advocate that the 400 million Arabs of the Middle East enjoy the same political freedoms and human rights that we enjoy here in the United States.
In New Jersey's Ninth Congressional district we have one of the largest Arab-American populations in the country. They deserve a congressman who promotes and protects Arab life, and they deserve a discussion where they hear the two candidates for office discussing an American response to the Syrian slaughter, one of the great humanitarian tragedies of our time. It is in this spirit that I repeat my invitation to Congressman Pascrell to join me in a public debate about what each of us will do to end immediately the murder of innocent Arabs in Syria.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
On the heels of Monday's revelation that NBA player Jason Collins is gay, and has formally come out in this week's edition of Sports Illustrated, on Tuesday evening "Piers Morgan Live" invited Carolyn Moos to share her personal insight and reaction to a development that has rippled far beyond the world of sports and deeply embedded itself in the national conversation.
Having dated Collins for eight years, and been engaged to the 12-year veteran until he broke it off in 2009, Moos detailed hearing from him this week:
"He actually called this past weekend and we spoke a couple of times on Monday, so it's really fresh in my mind," said the former WNBA player who first met Collins when they were both playing basketball for Stanford University. "It's going to be a process, absolutely, and it just takes a lot of perspective, and a lot of understanding, and a lot of open conversation."
Noting that Moss had given eight years of her life to their relationship, Piers Morgan asked if Collins had been remorseful during the phone calls:
"Did he apologize to you?" asked the host.
Opting to not answer the question directly, Moos instead shared her analysis:
"I think he's in the process of taking ownership of the here and now which is actually coming out," she suggested. "That can be very – I assume – overwhelming."
Watch the clip, and listen to the interview, as Moos goes on to explain how she's had to "rewrite the script" of her own life, after realizing she and Jason Collins would not become husband and wife.
> Follow "Piers Morgan Live" on Twitter
> Follow "Piers Morgan Live" on Instagram
So his story is that he's gay. Guys lie every day to their girlfriends about commitment and string them along. Her story is that she lied to herself for a significant part of that eight years about his lack of commitment to her. Some of her friends, her co-workers, her relatives certainly told her to move on after x number of years. But she didn't listen to them and didn't do it. Now she has the realization that she has wasted x years of her life in a relationship that was doomed from the start. It never matters how many times this happens to other women. All women think that this can't happen to them. We humans have a hard time learning from the mistakes of others.
Carolyn Moos you had to have had an Idea that he was gay.How do you go that long with out knowing?Well either way it was not a waste of time. you really got to know a great guy and i hope you guys stay friends. Wish you the best.

On Monday morning a group of 25 strangers gathered in front of the lambing barn at the UC Hopland Research and Extension Center. "If you survive the week, you'll be in a rare group" commented John Harper, Livestock and Natural Resources Advisor to the class. This heralds the beginning of the sheep shearing school, an intensive week long class, which is so eagerly anticipated that space on the class was filled in just 6 minutes from the opening of online registration.
The participants are varied and have traveled from as far afield as Washington, Virginia and Texas. As they introduce themselves they explain their motivations for joining this class and a common theme begins to emerge "there's just no one else to shear my sheep". Many of the participants work with smaller sheep flocks and it is not economical to employ traveling shearers, used to shearing flocks or hundreds or thousands, for just a few sheep. These small flocks are increasing across Mendocino County and the need for qualified shearers who are sympathetic to the needs of small producers is high. The group mix might surprise some, with over 20 female participants and number of the group using vacation from their "day job" to attend this class including a tax accountant, fashion designer, environmental restoration consultant and an art gallery manager. During the introduction it is made clear to all that shearing is not as easy task "a full day of shearing is equivalent to running a marathon" completed Harper as he led the class into the barn to get started.
"One of my favorite things about this school is the range of people who are brought together for such an intensive experience" commented Hannah Bird, HREC community educator. "At the end of the week you always see such pride in their achievement, and the possibility of a new economic string to their bow, we're proud to see that being expressed in our community through Matt Gilbert and his family, a past shearing school participant who has now opened Mendocino Wool and Fiber, our local wool mill".
Alongside a renewed interest in keeping small flocks of sheep, there has also been increased practice of fiber arts such as knitting and felting in the last 20 years, particularly amongst millennials. Celebrity knitters such as Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz might be partly responsible, but the many qualities of wool as a fiber are greatly appreciated by local spinners, knitters and artists.
To get a taste of the entire process from sheep to scarf, HREC invites the community to their 3rd annual Barn to Yarn celebration on Saturday, May 13th. There will be displays and demonstrations from herding sheep with a sheepdog, performed by Kevin Owens from the Redwood Empire Sheepdog Association, to shearing, knitting, felting, spinning and weaving.
"Our amazing team of experts and volunteers will help attendees at Barn to Yarn to try their hand at working with wool – this is such a great day for all the family from kids to the committed fiber artist. We'll even be creating a beautiful shawl in the 5 hours of the event which will be offered at silent auction through the day. What could be a better Mother's Day present?" added Bird. Guest of honor, Jean Near (102) will be adding to the event with stories of over 100 years living in Mendocino, ranching merino sheep which are prized for their wool over many of those years.
Admission is $10 for adults, children under 12 $5. HREC asks visitors to leave their pets at home to protect the site and the sheep resident there. Bring your own picnic and all utensils; tea, coffee and water will be available. Visit http://bit.ly/BarnToYarn to find out more and purchase your ticket. Barn to Yarn will be held at the Rod Shippey Hall, 4070 University Road, Hopland, CA 95449 from 9am-2pm on May 13th. For more information contact Hannah Bird, (707) 744-1424, Ext. 105, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Violence in Virginia: Moonshiners vs. the law in Franklin County
Lawless is a well-made film about ignorant and violent people. Like Killer Joe of four weeks ago, I can only admire the craftsmanship and acting, and regret its failure to rise above them. Its characters live by a barbaric code that honors murder. They live or die in a relentless hail of gunfire. It's not so much that the movie is too long, as that too many people must be killed before it can end.
I don't require movies to be about good people, and I don't reject screen violence. The Australian director of Lawless, John Hillcoat, made a film named The Proposition in 2005 that was also about a band of brothers up against a ruthless lawman, and it was one of the best films of that year. Based loosely on fact, it was written by the musician Nick Cave, and perhaps that's why both men were hired to make Lawless, based on a war between Virginia moonshiners and lawmen. Whatever inspired The Proposition is lacking here, however; the characters seem less driven than propelled by a script, and the most villainous is so far over the top he upstages himself
We meet the three Bondurant brothers in Franklin County, VA., during the Prohibition era. They make excellent moonshine and defend their turf without compromise. Into their backwoods domain ventures Special Agent Charlie Rakes (Guy Pearce), a fed from Chicago. He works with the none-too-enthusiastic local sheriff's department to do– what? Shut them down? Take them over? Kill them all? Full ReviewRead more on: lawless

Snapshots from Greece: The Modiano Market in Thessaloniki
Note: Our own Erin Zimmer just returned from ten days eating and drinking her way around Greece and will be sharing her adventures with us all week as Snapshots from Greece. —Ed.
I feel like travelers can be lumped into two categories: those who get a high from scouting out the local market, whether an average grocery chain or indoor hall with various stalls, and those who don't really care. Some of my strongest associations with cities are the markets—Eastern Market in Washington, the Delvita chain in the Czech Republic, and the English Market in Cork, Ireland. It's like a breathing museum with interesting characters, local produce, and, the always fascinating, foreign brands and packaging.
In Thessaloniki, the second largest city in Greece, the Modiano Market hall takes up an entire square block, with stalls devoted to fresh, Aegean Sea-caught fish on ice, bakeries, coffee shops, watermelon piles, and hanging animal carcasses. It's not as active as it was back in the day (as in, the early 1900s) but it's still buzzing with energy and adorable little Greek men.
Octopus with big nickel-sized suction cups.
Lots of fresh-caught fish.
Two fish stall men taking a cigarette break. They were pretty excited about the photo session.
More fishy.
Bricks of feta floating in feta juices.
A woman looking after her odds-and-ends stall (she had everything from paper plates to instant coffee and sponges).
Cherries were all over Greece. Big, fat, deep-burgundy ones.
Near all the raw drumsticks and other chicken hunks, there was a fridge on wheels with breaded nuggets (in ranging nuggety sizes) that you could buy by weight.
Bakeries along the periphery of the market piled fresh spanikopita (spinach pie).
The Modiano Market is bounded by Aristotelous, Ermou, Vasileos Irakleiou, and Komninon Streets. The usual hours are Tuesday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5 to 9 p.m.; Saturday 5 to 9 p.m.; Sunday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

This book predominantly focuses on actionable intelligence tradecraft with information on management and handling of agents, propaganda and counter propaganda, subversion and counter subversion, cover and alibi communications methods and surveillance and its techniques. The elicitation portions of the book are very up dated and extensive in depth and scope. A lot of the information discussed inside the book could be found on-line also. One chapter that I found interesting was on the training of intelligence officers, it is an excellent chapter, where reader will find the various realms of SPY world.

MLB WORLD SERIES: RANGERS v GIANTS
October 30, 2010
Bruce Bochy
ARLINGTON, TEXAS: Game Three
San Francisco Giants 2
Texas Rangers 4
Q. As a career National Leaguer, is it jarring to see a No. 9 guy come up who can juice the ball like that?
BRUCE BOCHY: No, I mean, it's a different league, and that's the American League, and their guy got a big hit. Sanchez was a pitch away from having a pretty good outing there, but he was getting out of that jam and just made a mistake. Settled in after that and was throwing the ball better, but that's what you deal with with a DH.
Q. What's going on with Burrell? And do you think you might give him a rest tomorrow?
BRUCE BOCHY: I don't know. I'll talk about it once I get back. Their guy threw well. He threw a nice game for them, and we had a few guys that were off tonight a little bit. But you give their pitcher credit; he pitched a nice ballgame.
Q. Is this the kind of game or the final score more like you were expecting, this low-scoring affair, not a ton of offense going on?
BRUCE BOCHY: I'd say, yeah. I mean, both teams have good pitching staffs, and really second game was a tight ballgame, but it just got out of hand there late.
They have good pitching over there, and we think our pitching is good, too, and this was a good ballgame. Pen did a nice job of keeping us in the game and giving us a chance to get back in it, but we just didn't mount many rallies because they pitched well.
Q. Just getting back to Burrell a second, their guy did throw a good game tonight, but he has 19 strikeouts now in 38 at-bats this post-season. Are you seeing a slow bat? What are you seeing?
BRUCE BOCHY: You know, his timing is off probably a little bit, which happens. You know, he's a big reason why we're here, with the huge hits he's gotten. Sure, you hope he comes out of it, and it was a tough night for him. But he can handle it. The one thing about Pat, sometimes he doesn't get a big hit, but he's getting big walks, things like that, to find a way to get on base. But he's a little bit off with his timing.
Q. What were your thoughts on Feliz?
BRUCE BOCHY: He had great stuff. I mean, he hadn't pitched in a while, and he had good command, too. It was an impressive outing for him. You've got a guy out there throwing 98, 99 with command, the kid did a great job. He's had a great year, and we know how good his stuff is, and he showed it tonight.
Q. As you said, Jonathan was just one pitch away from having a really good game, but he has thrown a lot more innings this year than last. Is there any concern that maybe it's starting to take its toll at this point?
BRUCE BOCHY: You know, that's hard to answer. He's had some time off between starts, plenty of rest. But you know, these guys have logged some work, some innings, and whether that's caught up with them or not, I can't answer that. But we'll say I thought he battled well. After the home run he regrouped and he kept them there to the one mistake to Hamilton. But I'm sure they're all a little tired now. It's been a long year, and I thought the middle innings there he had better command of all his pitches.
Q. The continued exploits of Ross and Torres getting on the board tonight with a home run.
BRUCE BOCHY: Yeah, that was big by both of them because we weren't doing much offensively. Those home runs got us back in the game, and that's what you're hoping, keep it close and hopefully get a rally going. But Ross has done a great job for us, as Torres has. You're looking for someone to kind of ignite the offense, and they certainly were trying. We just couldn't get some runners on before those home runs.
Q. And Cody Ross?
BRUCE BOCHY: He's played great ball. Defensively, offensively, and it's nice to acquire a guy like this who really has carried us at times.
Q. Can you talk a little bit about the O'Day-Posey at-bat. Was that just a pitcher executing his pitch there on 3-2?
BRUCE BOCHY: Yeah, he made a pretty good pitch. We had a good hitter up there, it was a good battle. Went to a full count and he got him out. Last time Buster got a base hit up the middle. But that's a good match-up.
It was a good game, exciting game. But their guys made pitches when they had to.
Q. Can you talk a little bit about tomorrow's game, the fact that they could pull even here at home.
BRUCE BOCHY: They could what?
Q. Pull even tomorrow.
BRUCE BOCHY: Well, we'll go out there and give it our best. We'll go out there and play the game hard for nine innings. We'll see what happens. You know, it's nice to be in our position right now, but we said we have a lot of work ahead of us. We're playing a very good club, and we didn't think this would be easy. They played very well tonight, and tomorrow hopefully we'll get back on track here with the bats.
Q. What are your thoughts on the DH going forward the next two games?
BRUCE BOCHY: I'll get back and think about it, and I'll talk to the staff and see which way we go tomorrow. I've mentioned my options, so I'll put some thought in this and sleep on it, and we'll see which way we go tomorrow.
Q. Specifically on Lewis, what did he do that made him so effective against your lineup tonight?
BRUCE BOCHY: He pitched well, hit his spots, mixed it up. He's a pitcher, and he's had a good year. He's pitched very well in this post-season, and he took it out there tonight and did a good job for them.

Screencast HowTo: IIS7 and PHP with FastCGI
Hello Dear Reader. I have been working with IIS7 for a while and I'm convinced that it's the cat's pajamas[1]
I started playing with IIS7 and noticed that it had FastCGI support. This means I could plug in PHP or maybe Perl or even Ruby into IIS7. This would be nice because I could host my ASP.NET blog, but also drop in some of the nice open source PHP applications that are available for maybe a photo gallery or something, all hosted on the same IIS machine.
What I did was take Bill Staples blog post on FastCGI as a guideline and got IIS7, FastCGI and PHP running on my machine. I did three load tests, one with CGI, one with FastCGI and one with Kernal Output Caching (new IIS7 feature) turned on. This video shows a number of tools and how to configure IIS7 step by step.
You can watch the video/screencast on the new Hanselman Silverlight Player (thanks Tim!) or download the WMV directly. If you guys want more IIS7 videos in detail, give me feedback in the comments and I'll see what we can do about putting together a series over on http://www.iis.net.
FastCGI GoLive on IIS6
If you're running IIS5.1 or IIS6, there is a GoLive release available to put your PHP apps into production on IIS and FastCGI. If you've previously downloaded the FastCGI TP2 release, be sure to get the latest GoLive version for IIS5.1/6.
There's also an actively maintained FastCGI IIS Forum with members of the team and MVPs helping out.
FastCGI for IIS7
If you're running IIS7 on a non-SP1 Vista, you can get FastCGI as a download for x86 and x64 as well. However, if you're running Vista SP1 Beta, as I am in the video, or Windows 2008 RC0, then you've already got FastCGI. One less step, eh? Check it out in the video.
WCat (Web Capacity Analysis Tool) 6.3
In this video I use a tool call WCat that you can download in x86 and x64 flavors. It is very lightweight and can simulate thousands of concurrent users on even a laptop. I pushed my local IIS7 with caching to over 2000 requests a second. It's free, easy with a basic scripting language. It's a great way to beat on your development servers and do some powerful profiling. I loves me some free tools.
Screencast Survey
I have been thinking about doing a series of IIS7 screencasts to augment the very good articles on http://www.iis.net. If you haven't been over there, I recommend you check it out.
Anyway, if you've seen me speak on stage, you know I'm a visibility/accessibility wonk and I really like to think about how folks learn, etc. I've been working with Camtasia for a while now and doing some video editing in Sony Vegas. In the recent ALT.NET Videos I put myself in PIP (Picture in Picture) and the response (even though the video was very rough) was very positive. I think that PIP really adds a lot to a screencast, but only if combined with appropriate editing, callouts, zooming and moving/sizing of the PIP window to make sure nothing is obscured. I wonder if you agree?
I'm interested in both your thoughts and opinions on the FastCGI stuff but also on Screencasts in general:
- I'd also like to try creating screencasts that look great at 640x480 but also would be viewable on a 320x240 screen using Zoom and Pan or a Viewfinder technique. Do you have any interest in that?
- Are screencasts a big part of your learning process?
- Does Picture in Picture add value to you?
- Do you prefer a fairly casual screencast with PIP like I've done here, or a more formal greenscreen/floating head with a nice suit reading a script. This screencast was fairly "organic" on purpose because it's real. There's no fakery.
Thanks, Dear Reader.

Legal fees from the George Washington Bridge scandal for Gov. Chris Christie's administration and former staffers cracked the $4 million mark over a recent period of about three months, with taxpayers picking up the tab.
Invoices and summaries released Friday by the state Attorney General's Office for 11 law firms total $3.93 million but primarily doesn't include legal work that has taken place since June or earlier in the year covered by other reporting periods.
The largest of the new bills is from the Gibson Dunn law firm, which conducted an internal investigation for the administration that cleared Christie of wrongdoing. Gibson Dunn billed $3.26 million through April.
Gibson Dunn billed $3.3 for January and February. The firm's total is nearly $6.6 million.
Taxpayers are also providing money for a legislative committee investigating the scandal. Two law firms billed $727,000 through March. No update was available Friday.

Minute Physics has a knack for explaining complicated scientific ideas and principles in a way that the average YouTube viewer can comprehend. Even when they tackle rocket science, a term synonymous with complicated physics, math, and equations.
Now you're probably not going to walk away from this video ready to apply to NASA, but if you've ever wondered how rocket scientists calculate how much thrust and fuel is needed to get an object into orbit, this will be five and a half minutes well spent. [YouTube]

A knife, some rope and a decent flashlight. When it comes right down to it, these are tools that a guy can really use. As for the latter of the three, a good choice may be these new "Daylite" superbright torches from Duracell. Besides a sturdy all-weather design, the Daylites feature TrueBeam technology that uses "both a lens and a reflector to capture and project up to 100 percent of the light," which they claim significantly enhances brightness. Plus, a 3:1 zoom eliminates the annoying dark spot typical of most flashlights.
Duracell will be offering the Daylite in three varieties: the 80 lumens AAA / AA versions (both $25) and the powerful 160 lumens CR123 version ($35) beginning this month at drug and hardware stores. Duracell seems to be aiming at the MagLite market with the Daylites, but it remains to be seen whether the performance justifies the price tag. [Duracell]
