Editor's note: Ruben Navarrette Jr. is a member of the San Diego Union-Tribune editorial board and a nationally syndicated columnist. Read his column here
Ruben Navarrette says women and minorities are vulnerable to being considered unqualified for the high court.
SAN DIEGO, California (CNN) -- Things really have changed with the Obama presidency -- starting with the process for nominating a Supreme Court justice.
When Republican President George W. Bush had the chance to put judges on the Supreme Court, Democrats freely offered opinions and even suggested lists of names of potential nominees they could live with. The media thought this was great, and urged Bush to heed the suggestions in the spirit of bipartisanship.
Now that Obama is president and controls the nominating process, things are different. This week, the White House put special interest groups on notice that this is the president's choice alone and they needn't bother putting forth their preferred candidates. The jab was clearly aimed at the left, where feminist groups are calling for the nomination of a woman, Latino groups want a Latino and the Congressional Black Caucus had the chutzpah to push one of its own members: Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Virginia.
About this, the media is generally supportive -- of Obama. Most of the stories are about how these groups are "lobbying" for this candidate or that one, with a negative connotation. Where was this indignation when the left was "lobbying" Bush?
In news reports this week, White House sources confirmed some names of candidates: Federal appeals court judges Sonia Sotomayor and Diane Wood, Solicitor General Elena Kagan, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm and California Supreme Court Justice Carlos Moreno.
You'll notice there are no white men on that list. But rest easy. There are already six of them on the Supreme Court.
With so many groups trying to pressure Obama to nominate a woman or a Latino, commentators are sniffing at the idea that race or gender should factor into the president's decision. They probably think they sound enlightened, but they come across as naïve.
By arguing that the job should simply go to the "most qualified" candidate, they assume that there is some objective standard by which a president decides on the "most qualified," as if you put all available information into this giant computer at 1600 Pennsylvania and out pops a name. And by framing the choice as being between merit and diversity, they also assume that the "most qualified" is never a woman or minority.
Which brings us to the catch-22 that women and minorities can't shake. Not long ago, only white males were deemed "qualified" to attend law school. That was even truer at the elite schools that act as farm clubs for the high court. Eventually, society recognized the inequity and took "affirmative action" to correct it, allowing colleges and universities -- including law schools -- to take account of race and gender as one factor among many in admissions.
Now, that first generation of affirmative action babies serves in the federal judiciary and teaches at the best law schools, two places where presidents fish for Supreme Court nominees. And when a chief executive sets out to correct an imbalance -- there is only one woman on the court, not a single Hispanic, etc. -- even if the president goes fishing in those ponds, no matter who he settles on, the nominee will be vulnerable to the charge that he or she has been unqualified since they first cracked open a law book.
Pining away for the days where white males need only apply, a reader wrote: "Even liberals that come before the court understand that someone who began his career with a handout will always be suspect in the talent department and are loath to place their important cases in front of a political appointee."
That's beautiful. Before affirmative action, women and minorities couldn't get jobs because they were thought to be inferior to white males. After affirmative action came along, they shouldn't get jobs because they're suspect. Sorry. The game is rigged. Same as it ever was.
At least the reader was honest. "In fact," he wrote, "some of the judges on the court now were not qualified when they were appointed and some of them are white."
Exactly. The unqualified come in all colors, races, ethnicities and backgrounds, as do the qualified. iReport.com: What do you look for in the next Supreme Court justice?
By the way, some pundits are saying the odds are good that a Latino will get the nod. I hope I'm wrong, but I predict Latinos will be shut out again. Then the administration will expect to get credit for at least including a couple of token Latino names on the short list. After all, I suspect, that was the whole point of including them.
Despite promising to expand opportunity and giving lip service to their concerns, the Democratic Party still takes Latinos for granted. That much hasn't changed.

What: A discussion about the legacy of Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. Former Boulder planning department chief Peter Pollock will discuss Olmstead's influence on Boulder city planning, former mayor Susan Osborne will address Olmsted's plans for Boulder Creek and former city councilman Dan Corson will talk about Olmsted's influence on the greenbelt program
When: 1-3 p.m. Saturday, May 4
Where: Boulder Creek Meeting Room, Boulder Public Library, main branch, 1001 Arapahoe Ave., Boulder
Tickets: Free and open to the public, but seating is limited
Info: email@example.com
Etc.: An exhibit of Olmsted's plans for Boulder will be on display 3-4:30 p.m. Saturday at the Carnegie Branch Library for Local History, 1125 Pine St., Boulder
We owe a great debt to Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. His legacy of beautification is one that Boulder residents enjoy everyday.
The noted landscape architect, son of the designer of New York City's Central Park, came to Boulder in 1908 at the invitation of the Boulder City Improvement Association, a group of private citizens. Initially, Olmsted Jr.'s Massachusetts firm offered to send another designer, but the BCIA insisted on the son himself.
At the time, the architecture and urban planning movement known as "City Beautiful" was enjoying a national following. Olmsted traveled to Boulder and spent time studying the city. In March 1910, he produced a document, "The Improvement of Boulder, Colorado."
Olmsted's work came at a pivotal point.
"He was commissioned during a transitory time in Boulder history -- from one as a mining supply town to being a university town of fine houses," according to Peter Pollock, Boulder's planning department head from 1999 to 2006.
Pollock has had a longstanding interest in Olmsted's work. While at Harvard University on a Loeb Fellowship, Pollock was able to delve into Olmsted archival materials held at the Harvard library, for information on the landscape architect's involvement with Boulder. The plans Olmsted Jr. prepared for Boulder serve as a good representation of his early work, Pollock explained.
Pollock also discovered that the Library of Congress manuscript collection holds the original correspondence between the secretary of the Boulder City Improvement Association and Olmsted's firm.
Olmsted came up with extensive recommendations for Boulder. He noted that Boulder wasn't the sort of western town where folks tried to make their fortunes quickly and move on. Instead, Boulder residents wanted to build a community with a lifestyle they could enjoy. He advised against planning a town for tourists, reminding that tourists might spend some money but would not be committed to the community, and were "often conducting themselves so as to interfere seriously with the comfort and welfare of those of the permanent residents ... "
Boulder ought to make the most of its beauty and purchase the land on both sides of Boulder Creek for recreation, Olmsted suggested. At the time of Olmsted's work, Pollock pointed out, the city of Boulder was dumping its sewage right into the creek at 28th Street.
Olmsted outlined a park for the Newlands subdivision, which later was developed as North Boulder Park. A plan for a park at Lover's Hill (now Sunset Hill) never materialized, Pollock said.
Olmsted had thoughts on the types of trees to plant, as well as the best way to pave and light the streets.
Olmsted's plan was not put into place wholesale, Pollock said. Some in the community, particularly businessmen, disagreed with the designer's aesthetic vision. But in recent decades the plan has been referred to often by city planners. Many of Olmsted's original ideas have come to fruition.
In 1980, the National Association for Olmsted Parks was formed. Made up of design and preservation professionals, historic property and park managers, scholars and activists, the group is dedicated to preserving the Olmsted legacy.
This year, the group's focus is on the work of the Junior Olmsted. The Board of Trustees will convene in Boulder May 3-6 for their annual meeting, which will include presentations and tours. Board members will stroll down the Boulder Creek Path, with a stop just east of the 17th Street bridge where a stone marker is engraved with a quote from Olmsted's Boulder plan.
NAOP has arranged trips to look at Olmsted's work on the Denver Mountain Parks and the Civic Center, as well as to Colorado Springs, where he designed the grounds of the Broadmoor Hotel.

"Absolutely thrilled!" That's how Deanine Nagengast, President of the Seaford Harbor PTA described the news that Nassau County has agreed to fund a secondary access road to help alleviate traffic at Seaford Harbor Elementary School.
The secondary access road, a 310-foot driveway, will be constructed on county-owned land running from Bayview Street just north of the school to Ionia Street, according to school officials. The access driveway is expected to be gated at both ends, but would be opened to alleviate traffic and provide an emergency exit if necessary. Currently, the only roadway from the 50-year-old elementary school is heavily congested during morning and afternoon drop-off and pick-up times.
In a letter dated October 28, Nassau County Executive Edward P Mangano wrote to Seaford School Superintendent Brian Conboy to inform him that the DPW [Department of Public Works] and the County Attorney's office would be drafting an Inter-Municipal Agreement between Nassau County and the Seaford Union Free School District. Once that agreement is received by the district, it will be presented to the Seaford Board of Education for approval.
Public reaction
"I'm wearing a cotton candy wig today. I'm having a party on my head for the access road. I'm so happy," said Seaford Harbor parent Melanie Schnaier, who spoke with The Citizen on Halloween. "There is this feeling of elation. We finally did it!"
"We are thrilled to share this exciting news," read the October 30 email news alert from Harbor Happenings. "This is truly a community effort. When all is said and done the ones that will benefit the most from having the access road built are the children of the Seaford Harbor Elementary School, as their safety is of the utmost importance."
"We have many people to thank for putting this project into action," said Seaford Superintendent Brian Conboy. "We thank Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano and his staff, our county legislators, the Seaford Board of Education, Harbor School employees, PTA, and more specifically, the Harbor School parents who were the movers and shakers."
Seaford Board of Education President Brian Fagan said, "This has been a passion for this board for quite some time. We worked with our Central Administration as well as the community and of course elected officials to keep this on the radar. We were pleased to learn that because we maintained the plans and renewed the permits for this project and the strong efforts of our community, we were able to help make this a reality. The entire Board of Education expresses their gratitude to our administration, district parents, and our elected officials, especially Mr. Mangano and Nassau County for making this commitment."
A long time coming
While congestion at the school has been a problem for nearly 30 years, the district most recently sought voter approval in May 2011 for a bond referendum that called for nearly $600,000 in bond funds to be used for the construction of the access driveway, but residents voted it down because they believed it is not the responsibility of school tax dollars to pay for this type of project since it would run on county land, according to Superintendent Conboy. However, the district never lost sight of the goal of making the access driveway a reality and at the October school board meeting Superintendent Conboy said he had met with state Senator Charles Fuschillo, Nassau Legislator David Denenberg and county Public Works Superintendent Mike Martino, after recent local coverage of the issue.
Meanwhile, Legislator Denenberg wrote to County Executive Mangano to request an amendment to the 2013 Capital Budget for Nassau County to include $650,000 for the construction of the access road. Additionally he asked Jonathan Kaiman, Special New York state advisor for Long Island Storm Recovery, if the state will reimburse Nassau County for the project as part of the New York Rising Community Reconstruction Program in the Seaford- Wantagh area.
"I am proud that the Democratic caucus joined with me to fight and get this project included in Nassau's capital budget. To wait for NY Rising funding, if they come, would just have been more delay. This vital project for the Seaford area has been stalled long enough and we're glad to see its finally getting done. It's a win for everyone," said Mr. Denenberg.
Legislator Dennis Dunne, whose district includes south Seaford through January, has been a long time advocate of a secondary access road even attempting to get a temporary bridge built to provide access from the school to Cedar Street. "Ten years I've been working on this. It could be scary if someone needed to get out of there in an emergency,"said Legislator Dunne. "I brought everyone down there – federal, state and town officials. But we finally broke the ice with these petitions. I hand- delivered the signatures to Ed [Mangano]. He looked at it and he said, 'okay let's do this," he said. "I'm just delighted."

I am a person that seldom drives more than five miles per hour over the posted speed limit, whether it be on an interstate highway or a city street. In my 60-plus years of driving, I have received three speeding citations, averaging one every 20 years. This past May, I was mailed a speed camera ticket from Baltimore City for exceeding by more than 12 miles per hour the 25 mph speed limit on Gwynns Falls Parkway. I found this a little hard to believe. However, after recovering from the shock, I dutifully and promptly paid the $40 fine while also feeling that I had lost my virginity.
In a recent article ("Fast Money," Nov. 18), you included a "top 10 list" of citations generated by the speed cameras in Baltimore during the period of July, 2011 through June, 2012. The number one camera listed was the Gwynns Falls camera, the one that had nabbed me. That entry showed 57,457 citations over that period, more than twice the number given for the camera second on the list, the one on Caton Avenue. It seems a little difficult to believe that the traffic volume on Gwynns Falls is twice that of Caton, so is something else going on?
Another article, "Cameras have nailed some drivers more than 100 times," (Nov. 22), states that Benjamin Parker's pickup truck has been tagged 41 times in the Baltimore area over the past 3 years, many of these citations from the Gwynns Falls Parkway camera.
I'm wondering if this data and these incidents concerning this one camera are mere coincidences or if this camera is acting inaccurately. I'm anxiously awaiting the results of Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake's zero-error program.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Convicted mass killer Anders Behring Breivik has applied for admission to the University of Oslo, testing the limits of Norway's commitment to rehabilitate criminals rather than punish them.
The right-wing extremist, who killed 77 people in bomb and gun attacks two years ago, wants to study political science, and prison and university officials say he could do his studies in his cell if accepted by the school.
"In Norway, and I'm proud of this, we have a system where inmates, in general, can apply to study at universities, most of them from their own cell, so it will be distance learning," said Ole Petter Ottersen, the rector of the University of Oslo. "This is a principle that is put in place to help the inmate get back to society."
Ottersen said he couldn't comment on prospective students but added it was "publicly known" that Breivik had applied to the university.
Others, including Education Minister Kristin Halvorsen, have said Breivik is a special case and shouldn't enjoy the same rights as other prisoners.
The self-styled anti-Muslim militant surrendered to police on July 22, 2011, after setting off a bomb outside the government headquarters in Oslo and opening fire at a summer camp for young Labor Party activists on Utoya island. Eight people died in the bombing and 69, mostly teenagers, were killed on the island. Breivik showed no remorse for his actions, calling his victims traitors for supporting a multicultural society.
"This is a special situation because we are facing a mass murderer who will never again be released into Norwegian society," Halvorsen told broadcaster TV2 this week. "So many of the arguments we have for encouraging inmates in Norwegian prisons to get an education don't apply to the same degree."
Breivik's defense lawyers were startled by her comments, saying there is no legal basis to deny him the education rights that other inmates enjoy.
They also criticized her assumption that Breivik, 34, will never be released from prison.
"That is not up to politicians to decide," said Tord Jordet, who is part of Breivik's legal defense team.
Breivik was sentenced to the maximum term of 21 years. After that a court can extend his sentence if it considers him a danger to society.
He is being kept away from other inmates at Ila Prison for security reasons, and has access to newspapers, TV and radio but no Internet connection.
His university application is expected to be processed this month.
Ottersen, the university rector, said prison authorities decide how an inmate should conduct his or her studies. "The role of the university is to provide the learning material and to evaluate the exams," he said.
Per Anders Langeroed, an Oslo city councilman who survived the Utoya massacre by swimming from the island, said it's worth discussing whether helping Breivik get an education was "resources well spent."
Still, Langeroed found "no reason to deny him the right to read some books and take some exams," providing that teachers and other students wouldn't have to interact with him.
"Because what we experienced when we faced terror was that when everything around you fell and you were afraid of everything, the comforting thing was to hold on to some basic principles," Langeroed said.

Tony Stark breaks all the rules (even the one that says superheroes must keep a secret identity), and he always seems to comes out on top — that's why we love him. But now comes "Iron Man 2," a film about secret dangers, the sins of the father and the nasty price of modern celebrity. The movie lands May 7 in the U.S., and every day until then, we'll have behind-the-scenes scoops on the summer's most anticipated film and a look at all things Iron Man.
Most superheroes try to keep their secret identities just that — a secret. Not Tony Stark, who has what you might call a confetti personality (as in, "Where's today's parade?") and a showman's soul. For director Jon Favreau, that presented fun filmmaking opportunities for "Iron Man 2" but also the challenge of delivering outsized moments that lived up to Stark's life and ego.
"He's Iron Man, he's Tony Stark, he's going to go a million miles an hour, so what do you expect this film to be and how can we take it past those expectations? When I was watching AC/DC with my wife and my son and they were playing 'Shoot to Thrill' at the Forum, I thought, 'You know this is how he should show up, right in the middle of this and take the armor off. That's the Tony Stark version of doing things."
The meet-the-adoring-public scene also sets up the film's themes about the dark side of celebrity, but it was an expensive and unorthodox addition to a superhero film. "It was a big leap. It was not a cheap thing to do. Whether you're blowing up a tank or landing in a rock concert, it's the same thing [for a visual-effects team], once he's moving around, he's moving around."
The music of AC/DC, meanwhile, has become the signature sound of a superhero franchise that is, after all, quite familiar with the possibilities of heavy metal.
"What's fun about them is they were the full-on real deal of heavy metal when I was in high school," Favreau said. "They were as real deal as it got. They made some people nervous — people questioned whether they were devil worshipers or not. And now these days they put on the same show … and there's a sense of humor about the whole thing. And my kid loved the whole thing, and to me, there's an almost nostalgic thing about the whole show; there's even a strange gentleness to the music to me now, even though at the time it was as edgy as you get. It's celebrating immaturity and youth, really, at the worst."
Just like a certain billionaire superhero…
Check back. We'll have more on AC/DC and the music of "Iron Man," including a chat with the band.

NHL Capsules
BOSTON (AP) — Jarome Iginla and Milan Lucic each had a goal and an assist for the Boston Bruins in a 3-1 win Tuesday night over the slumping Vancouver Canucks, who lost their fifth straight.
Daniel Paille also scored for Boston and Tuukka Rask made 27 saves against the road-weary Canucks, who were coming off 2-0 loss in Detroit the night before.
Zdeno Chara and Johnny Boychuk added assists as Boston won for the sixth time in seven games.
Roberto Luongo stopped 29 shots for Vancouver, which played its second game since coach John Tortorella came back from a 15-day suspension. His return hasn't halted Vancouver's slide — the Canucks lost for the sixth time in seven games.
Raphael Diaz pulled Vancouver to 2-1 in the second period, one day after coming over from Montreal in a trade.
NEW YORK (AP) — Rangers captain Ryan Callahan shook off trade talk and scored two first-period goals to lead New York past Colorado for its fourth straight win.
With Callahan's future with the Rangers unsettled just before he heads to the Sochi Olympics, he staked New York to a 2-0 lead with goals 3:19 apart. Defenseman Anton Stralman added his first of the season in the second period, and Derick Brassard and Brad Richards scored in the third — with an assist from Callahan — in the Rangers' 10th win in 13 games.
Henrik Lundqvist made 27 saves for his 297th win, four shy of Mike Richter's club record.
Gabriel Landeskog, Lundqvist's teammate with Sweden in the Olympics, scored in the second, and Russian Olympian Semyon Varlamov stopped 38 shots, but the Avalanche had a four-game winning streak snapped.
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Antoine Roussel scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period, Kari Lehtonen stopped 26 shots and Dallas beat Phoenix in a key victory for its playoff hopes.
Shawn Horcoff also scored and Ryan Garbutt added an empty-netter for the Stars, who won their second straight game and moved within one point of Phoenix and two of Vancouver, which holds the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference.
Antoine Vermette scored his eighth goal in nine games and Mike Smith made 37 saves for the sluggish Coyotes.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Darcy Kuemper made 34 saves and Jared Spurgeon had two assists in his return from a 14-game injury absence to help Minnesota defeat Tampa Bay.
Nino Niederreiter and Dany Heatley scored for the Wild, who are 6-3-2 in Kuemper's 11 straight starts — a franchise record for rookie goalies.
Valtteri Filppula scored his 20th of the season for the Lightning, who got a strong showing from goalie Ben Bishop in a losing effort.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Chris Thorburn scored the tiebreaking goal with 1:03 remaining to lift Winnipeg over Carolina.
Andrew Ladd also scored for the Jets, who are 9-2-0 since Paul Maurice took over as coach on Jan. 12. Maurice coached 920 games for the Hurricanes franchise during two stints with the team.
Ondrej Pavelec made 28 saves for the Jets.
Riley Nash scored for Carolina, and Anton Khudobin made 25 saves. The Hurricanes went 10-4-0 in January and had won five of six, but their offense sputtered in this tight-checking game.
MONTREAL (AP) — Rene Bourque scored in the second period against his former team, and Montreal snapped Calgary's five-game winning streak.
Carey Price made 27 saves in his fourth shutout of the season and second in four games. David Desharnais added an empty-netter for the Canadiens.
Reto Berra stopped 25 shots for the Flames, who have lost four straight road games.
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — Tim Thomas made 20 saves, Brian Campbell had two assists and Florida beat Toronto to snap a three-game losing streak.
Tom Gilbert, Jesse Winchester, Shawn Matthias and Marcel Goc scored for the Panthers, who handed the Maple Leafs their first loss in four games.
David Clarkson had the goal for Toronto, and Jonathan Bernier stopped 44 shots. Clarkson returned to the lineup after missing eight games with an elbow injury.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Andrew McDonald scored early in the third period and Evgeni Nabokov made 22 saves for his 57th career shutout as New York broke a five-game losing streak with a win over Washington.
McDonald's slap shot from the point went past screened goalie Michal Neuvirth and just under the crossbar with 17:44 to play. The Islanders scored only one goal for the third straight game — but at least this time it was enough to win.
Nabokov, making his third start since returning from a groin injury, posted his second shutout of the season and is 19th on the all-time list.
Neuvirth stopped 27 shots for the Capitals, who have lost 10 of 13 to tumble toward the bottom of the Metropolitan Division, only seven points ahead of the last-place Islanders. Washington has been shut out four times this season.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Kyle Turris scored the deciding goal in the fifth round of the shootout to go with one in regulation that helped Ottawa beat St. Louis.
T.J. Oshie had a goal and an assist and scored to open the shootout for the Blues, who lost at home to an Eastern Conference opponent for the first time in 10 games this season. St. Louis had a season-high 50 shots but squandered a two-goal cushion in the third period and missed two chances to close it out in the shootout.
Jason Spezza had his third three-point game of the season and capped a three-goal flurry in a span of 2:35 that gave Ottawa a 4-3 lead midway through the third. Erik Karlsson had a goal and an assist to give him 53 points, best among NHL defensemen.
Blues defenseman Jordan Leopold tied it at 11:08 with his first goal of the season on an odd-angled shot that banged off goalie Robin Lehner.

Welcome to the U. S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory's Gasification Plant Databases
Within these databases you will find current publicly available information on proposed projects and projects undergoing construction and initial operation within the United States and worldwide. Currently operating projects are excluded. The data have been compiled here to keep the public informed of the technologies and investments in major industrial coal gasification projects throughout the world. These databases track proposed gasification projects with approximate outputs greater than 100 megawatts electricity (MWe) or equivalent size for other products. Natural gas projects are not included in these databases. Included in these databases are biomass and municipal solid waste when coal is included in the feedstock blend or as a part of the overall process.
These Databases present factual, publicly available information rather than interpretive information. For those instances where conflicting data are found in the supporting literature, the most recently dated information is used. Projects are categorized as either "Active," "Delayed/Cancelled," or "Other." The "Other" category is defined as projects that have been announced, but for which data are limited.
These databases are updated quarterly; the most recent additions from each update are in red type.
Note: The data are intended to give the viewer a sample of the many proposed coal gasification projects currently in various stages of development throughout the world.

Court Rules Broadcasters Can't Pull the Plug on Aereo
Apr 2, 2013 5:00 AM PT
Aereo, a startup that streams TV content to Web-connected devices with the use of tiny antennas, won another legal battle Monday in its war with broadcast networks.
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a district court's ruling that denied 17 broadcasters a preliminary injunction against Aereo on the grounds that streaming TV content to individual subscribers does not constitute a public performance under the Copyright Act.
The Court cited a Cablevision ruling as a precedent. It said like Aereo, many cloud-based businesses that allow users to store their own content in the cloud have relied on that ruling as an authoritative interpretation of the Copyright Act's Transmit clause.
The ruling affects two separate suits filed by broadcasters against Aereo.
Down But Not Out
Broadcasters have vowed to keep up their fight against Aereo and see the case through to a trial.
"This case is still in its early stages, and we are confident that when the record is fully developed, the rights of content owners will be protected and the courts will conclude that Congress never intended to allow services like Aereo to retransmit our programming for profit without our authorization,"ABC and NBC said in a joint statement emailed to TechNewsWorld by ABC spokesperson Hope Hartman.
Broadcasters "are likely to pursue this either with copyright suits or by going to the FCC demanding some action," Michael McGuire, a research vice-president at the Gartner Group, told TechNewsWorld.
Chet Kanojia, Aereo CEO and founder, said in a company press release that Monday's court decision "again validates that Aereo's technology falls squarely within the law, and that's a great thing for consumers who want more choice and flexibility in how, when and where they can watch television."
How Aereo Works
Aereo's technology shrinks TV antenna to fingertip size, puts thousands of them in data centers, and lets users control their antennae through the Internet using any device.
Subscribers pay US$12 a month to access live, high-definition programming from all major broadcast networks, including CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, ION and PBS.
Subscribers get access to a remote antenna and digital video recorder in the cloud; the recorder can make three separate copies of a program, each at a different bit rate, as the subscriber watches. Subscribers can manually select which of the three to watch. The recordings are stored until the subscriber deletes them.
Aereo works on PCs, Macs, the iPad and any iPhone running iOS 4 or higher, as well as on Apple TV and Roku. It supports Firefox 11.0, Chrome, Safari 5.0, Opera 12 and Internet Explorer 9 or higher browsers.
It's About the Money
Broadcasters are concerned because retransmission fees "are a multibillion dollar business" for them, McGuire said.
Aereo's biggest impact on broadcasters is that it might "take customers from cable services who, in many cases, have to pay for the right to transmit broadcast programming to their subscribers," T. Barton Carter, chairman of the department of mass communication, advertising and public relations at Boston University College of Communications, told TechNewsWorld.
Monday's ruling will let Aereo continue with its plans to expand its service to 22 more cities this year.
However, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling runs counter to one in a similar case made by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In that case the court ruled that Aereokiller, a service similar to Aereo, infringes copyright in two lawsuits brought by Fox TV and other broadcasters.
The Crux of the Problem
Technology is outpacing the law, and that's at the heart of the problem Aereo is causing, Carter said.
"The primary issue here is that both the statutes and the broadcasters' business models are heavily grounded in outmoded technology and assumptions based on that technology," he noted. "The distinction between thousands of separate antennas creating separate copies, and one antenna creating multiple copies, is significant under the law, but not from a practical point of view. At some point the law needs to catch up with the technology."

Environmental Groups Drop One of Two Wolf Lawsuits
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) Environmental groups have dropped one of two federal lawsuits challenging last year's federal action that turned management of Wyoming wolves over to the state.
Lawyers for WildEarth Guardians and eight other groups dropped their lawsuit in federal court in Cheyenne this week. That leaves a similar lawsuit still pending in federal court in Washington, D.C.
Both lawsuits generally claim that Wyoming's own wolf management plan doesn't afford adequate protections. The plan classifies wolves as predators that can be shot on sight in most of the state and allows regulated hunting for them elsewhere.
Colorado attorney Jay Tutchton represents WildEarth Guardians. He says the groups dropped the Wyoming lawsuit in the interest of efficiency. He says it doesn't make sense to have two federal courts hearing essentially the same dispute.

A BAN on people smoking in cars with children will be introduced in Wales it was revealed today.
The move, which would make smoking in private vehicles when children are present illegal, was announced today by First Minister Carwyn Jones and Health Minister Mark Drakeford.
A spokesman for the Welsh Government said the ban aims to protect children from the "avoidable harms" associated with passive smoking, which can lead to a range of chronic diseases.
He added: "Children are particularly at risk from exposure to second-hand smoke, in the confined spaces of a vehicle where they cannot escape from the noxious chemicals in tobacco smoke."
Wales' First Minister Carwyn Jones said: "In 2012, we launched the Fresh Start Wales campaign to promote smoke-free cars carrying children and raise awareness to parents and others the risk their smoking poses to the health of children.
We made clear throughout that campaign we would consider the possibility of legislation when evidence of prevalence of smoking in cars carrying children in Wales is available in the summer of 2014.
Health Minister Professor Mark Drakeford said: "The research findings clearly show there is public support for not allowing smoking in cars when carrying children and that this support - and awareness of the dangers of second-hand smoke - have increased over the last three years.
He added the government will now consult on these proposals and "I urge people to have their say."

I love to sew and have been making patchwork quilts for many years. Any projects that use machine applique or piecing are my favourites and anything that combines the two is blissful.
I live in Hertfordshire and regularly teach classes locally and further a field in shops and for groups. I enjoy teaching and am a qualified teacher. I also write patterns for magazines and books. My website can be found at http://www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk where I have a list of all the workshops that I teach and the venues where I am currently teaching. This year I have started a blog on the website so have been attempting to blog regularly!
My perfect day would be to spend the day sewing in my studio which is at the bottom of my garden.

Student Workers Needed
The Office of International Law and Policy Development is looking for
students interested in getting involved in this year's upcoming conferences
and projects. Opportunities exist to help on conferences involving water
resources, internally displaced persons, and anti-corruption efforts
in transition economies. Projects underway include a new marketing brochure
and work on the Website. If interested please contact:

Chicago-Kent Signs Exchange Agreement with Tec de Monterrey
On Monday, October 8th, Dean Henry H. Perritt Jr., Professor Howard
Eglit, and 3l Christa Garcia, visited the law school of the Instituto
Technologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, Campus Ciudad de
Mexico, commonly referred to as the Tec de Monterrey, which
is located in Mexico City. All three agreed that the campus was very
impressive, as were the students and faculty at Tec. Tec is very similar
to Chicago-Kent in its attitudes towards globalization and technology.
Also, all Tec students are required to speak English and there are courses
that are taught in English, so opportunities that evolve will not be
limited to Spanish speakers.
After the Chicago-Kent delegation met with various university officials,
including Dr. Emilio Rabasa, Director of Political Science and the Law
Department, as well as several professors, a Memorandum of Understanding
was signed by both institutions. This agreement provides for exchange
programs both for students and professors on various levels, as well
as joint research projects, conferences, and seminars. (Dean Perritt
was pleased to get this enterprise going by serving as the key speaker
at a multi-law school conference held at Tec, at which he spoke on Internet/legal
Possible opportunities for Chicago-Kent students will include: spending
a summer, semester, or a year at Tec for J.D. credit, and/or some sort
of combined law degree and/or graduate law degree from both institutions.
Insofar as Tec students are concerned, they will have comparable opportunities
at Chicago-Kent and their participation in the life of our law school
should be both an asset to them and to the students and faculty here.
Dean Perritt, Professor Eglit, and 3L Garcia are all very excited about
this new agreement and the opportunities it will allow for students
to gain a better understanding of the Mexican legal system and issues
that affect both Mexico and the United States.
The hope is to start the program this coming summer, 2002 at both campuses.
If you are interested or think you might be interested in participating
in this opportunity, please contact Professor Eglit at email@example.com
or Christa Garcia at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
NEW! Externship at the Mexican Consulate
This fall Chicago-Kent offered its first externship at the Mexican Consulate.
3L and GLAPI staff member Christa Garcia is the first student to participate
in the externship and has so far had good things to say: "The work
at the consulate is very interesting. The issues we deal with cover
a very broad spectrum, including situations such as divorce, education,
criminal convictions, cultural awareness in the legal system, and immigration/deportation
issues. The perspective from the Mexican Consualte is unique because
we do not "represent" people but instead support the attorneys
who do, give advice, communicate with the organizations, and sometimes
intervene in the form of an amicus. In the short time I have been there,
I have learned a lot and I am confident that the overall experience
will be an extraordinary one."
If you are interested in doing an externship at the Mexican Consulate,
or have questions about the externship or other opportunities involving
Mexico or Latin America, please feel free to contact Christa Garcia
at email@example.com.

Greenland man who allegedly threatened police pleads guilty to weapons charges
By JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
Wounded police officers' suit in Greenland shootout gets one more chance from judge
— A Greenland man who allegedly made threatening statements about police pleaded guilty to charges that he was a convicted felon in possession of weapons.
Joshua Nieves, 27, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to charges of felon in possession of a weapon and a felony drug charge as part of a negotiated deal that should send him to state prison for 2½ to 5 years.
A sentencing hearing is expected to happen sometime later this year.
His negotiated plea deal includes a suspended 3½ to 7-year prison term on one of the weapons convictions, which could be imposed if he violates his parole.
Police apprehended Nieves last August after receiving tips that he was carrying a MAC-10.
Deputy County Attorney Tom Reid said Tuesday that tips about Nieves' weapons collection first led them to believe he was keeping a MAC-10 covered in a blanket in his car.
The gun, police later learned, only resembled the automatic pistol, according to Reid.
"It was simply a 9mm semi-automatic. It was not even in the same company of the MAC-10," Reid said.
Nieves, who has a 2004 robbery conviction, was making troubling statements to people who later tipped off police, according to court records.
Greenland police Chief Tara Laurent said in a sworn affidavit that Nieves had told a friend he would "shoot before going back to jail" and believed that Cullen Mutrie, the man who killed the town's police chief in April, "should have shot more officers."
Those statements were not mentioned in court on Tuesday. Reid said that an assortment of weapons including a stun gun, switchblades and a metal sap were found in Nieves' possession.
Police also found Nieves in possession of pills containing Lorazepam, Reid said.
Greenland police began looking for Nieves around Aug. 10 and learned he had been staying at another address in Portsmouth. Police arrested Nieves on Aug. 16, after he had stepped out of his apartment on his way to his car.A search of his car led to the weapons seizure, Reid said.
Nieves could have faced up to 3½ to 7 years in prison on each of the charges, and a $25,000 fine on the drug charge.
His lawyer Charles Bookman asked for a sentencing hearing to happen at a later date so his client would have time to get his affairs in order before being sent to state prison.
Nieves has spent 432 days in county jail, which will count toward his sentence.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The maker of a popular brand of food for observant Muslims says it is facing a potentially crippling investigation into whether it falsely labeled meat products as processed in compliance with Islamic law.
The Midamar Corp. said in federal court documents that investigators seized its main bank account and business records under search warrants executed last month. A judge last week upheld the government's seizure of $454,000 in bank funds and rejected the company's request to return the money.
No criminal or civil charges have been filed, and U.S. District Judge Linda Reade ruled that the government's affidavit supporting its search warrant can remain secret so as not to "compromise an ongoing investigation." The U.S. attorney's office declined comment Monday on the investigation, which involves the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Internal Revenue Service.
Miramar said in court filings that the seizures relate to vague allegations that it improperly branded and sold meat products as meeting Muslim dietary requirements, called halal, when they did not. The privately held business, which has been in Cedar Rapids for 40 years, dismissed the allegations. And it claims federal investigators are trying to regulate something that must be left to religions under the U.S. Constitution's separation of church and state.
"Whether Midamar's meat is in fact halal is a religious question that may not be answered by the U.S. government," company lawyers wrote last month.
Midamar says it was the first major U.S. supplier of halal products after its 1974 founding by Bill Aossey, who declined comment Monday. The company calls itself the leading U.S. halal brand and markets more than 200 products for U.S. and international customers, including beef, turkey and chicken. It largely relies on third-party suppliers for meat that it packages.
Reade ruled that she did not believe the company's constitutional argument was "an appropriate basis to quash a warrant" and is premature because no charges have been filed.
Midamar, which has 70 employees, says it has been unable to access credit needed to maintain its operation and that some business partners have kept a distance since last month's raid became public. It warned in one filing that it could soon have to close its doors.
Reade ruled that Midamar failed to show that the money seizure amounted to shutting down the business. Midamar failed to prove it could not obtain funding from other sources, such as by liquidating assets or taking out personal loans from its executives, she said. The agents' seizure of documents and files also did not prevent the business from operating, Reade ruled, noting investigators returned seized computers within a week.
Rasheed Ahmed, president of the Muslim Consumer Group for Food Products, a watchdog group in Huntley, Ill., said cheating is common in the marketing of halal meat, which is supposed to be killed in ritual slaughter. Some companies label routinely processed "supermarket meat" as halal, he said.
Ahmed said he was not aware of the investigation or Midamar's practices but that he would be interested in the case's outcome. "A lot of consumers buy from them," he said.
Midamar says the matter does not involve food safety. Still, its lawyers made public a letter from USDA that noted the agency stopped voluntary inspections at the firm in 2010, after seizing what it called misbranded meat products, before resuming them last year. Such inspections are done at Midamar's request to ensure their products meet requirements for export.
Investigators seized thousands of pounds of beef products that came from an establishment not approved for export to a foreign country and found falsified export documents for shipments to Indonesia and Malaysia, among other problems, according to the letter.
USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service resumed inspections after approving Midamar's "corrective and preventive measures," the letter says.

Pastor Bryant
7 comments:
I was one of the 279 people baptised by Mr Bryant - on 22 July 1945.
- Monday, 18 February, 2013
Truly one of the nicest human beings ever!
- Monday, 18 February, 2013
I always thought that I was baptised by Mr Bryant, but as I was baptised in 1943 I guess it couldn't have been him. Has anyone any idea who would have done it in that year?
My brother was certainly baptised by Mr Bryant in 1949.

A much nicer building than the present one
- Monday, 18 February, 2013
It is possible, Bill, if Mr Bryant was a Deacon at Zion in 1943 and they did not have a regular minister. Doreen Morris's wonderful history of Zion would probably clarify your query - over to you, Nancy!
I don't think it's possible to compare the old Zion building with what has replaced it. The present place is for the present age, whilst the old building had run its time and would have cost far too much to repair. In its heyday the old Zion would have held massive congregations but, as with most churches, this had declined. I attended the opening of the new building in 1991 and was impressed by what I saw.
- Thursday, 21 February, 2013
Dibd you all spot the deliberate mistake? The new Zion opened on 2001, not 1991! Sorry all.
- Friday, 22 February, 2013
- Hydonian said...
The preacher in 1943 was the Rev J. Sutcliffe of Romiley, Bill, so it was possibly him who baptised you !

2013 Audi TTS Values
Select a 2013 Audi TTS trim level
2013 model year changes
Audi has introduced the S-Line Competition package for 2013. Intended for buyers who want more aggressive looks and a bit more handling prowess from the base TT, it adds a more aggressive body kit, xenon headlights, a 10 mm reduction in ride height and black wheels.
Competitive comparison
Iconic styling; quattro all-wheel-drive; new high-performance model
Special features for 2013
Underneath its iconic easily recognizable exterior, the TT is based on Audi's sturdy passenger car platform with quattro all-wheel-drive, making it a superb all-weather handler, yet it maintains good all around performance, with the turbocharged 2.0L engine pushing it to 60 mph in just 5.7 seconds--faster than both the Mercedes-Benz SLK 300 and the BMW Z4. The upgraded TT RS has a 360 horsepower 5-cylinder engine that offers intense performance in the same compact package. The new model's base price of under $60,000 makes it a great performance value.
Unchanged for the current model year, the 2013 Audi TTS is a luxury sports car performance oriented version of the Audi TT, available in coupe and roadster trim levels. The TTS is powered by a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 265 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque, for a 0-60 time of 4.9 seconds. A 6-speed dual-clutch with electro-hydraulic control is paired with AWD to grant the TTS an EPA estimated 23 mpg city and 31mpg highway. Features include xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights, 19-inch wheels, retractable rear spoiler, heated leather seats, hill-hold assist, navigation system with a 6-CD changer, and premium leather seats. Safety is comprised of front airbags, thorax side airbags, front knee airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, anti-lock brake system, electronic brake distribution, and brake assist. The TTS is backed by a 4-year/50,000-mile warranty.

Ben Affleck is Batman for 'Man of Steel' Sequel - Confirmed!
Ben Affleck has officially been chosen to play Batman in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel!
The 41-year-old actor will star alongside Henry Cavill in the movie that will bring Batman and Superman together for the first time on the big screen!
"Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry's Superman," director Zack Snyder said in a statement (via Hypable). "He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne. I can't wait to work with him."
The film is set to go into production in 2014 with a release date of July 17, 2015. Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne, and Diane Lane are all confirmed to return for the film.

Top Port of New Hampshire officials lose $50,000 in alleged stock swindle
By JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
John Rummler
BRENTWOOD — A Maine man charged with selling $50,000 in bogus stock shares to two Port of New Hampshire officials further duped the men in 2011 by claiming the company's CEO was under investigation and his life might be in danger, prosecutors said.
John Rummler, 65, of Kittery, Maine, allegedly conned Geno Marconi, the director of the Port of New Hampshire, and his chief operating officer Alan Cummings into buying shares of stock for Wastech International between September 2004 and November 2005.
Rummler faces two counts of theft by deception and two counts of forgery for allegedly fabricating documents to convince Marconi and Cummings that they were investors in the former wastewater technology company.
New details about how Rummler — a founder and former president of Wastech International — allegedly perpetrated the fraud were made public in response to the defense's argument to dismiss the case.
Defense lawyer Timothy Harrington argued that his client cannot be prosecuted because the case was brought forward well beyond a six-year statute of limitations.
"Marconi and Cummings were supposedly buying a hot privately held stock that was going to go public and hopefully provide them with a significant return on their investment," Harrington said in a court motion. "Yet they didn't follow up Wastech's progress or the issue of a public offering for five or six years?"
The criminal investigation into Rummler began last July when Portsmouth police were notified about the alleged fraud by the New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation, prosecutors said.
Marconi had given Rummler $10,000 to invest in Wastech stock in October 2004. Cummings paid $40,000 — profits from the sale of a charter business, according to court records.
Marconi and Cummings were given a common warrant stock certificate in 2005, prosecutors said.
Sometime after August 2011, Marconi had a conversation with a friend of his, Guy Marchesseault, who told him "that Wastech was sold off in bits and pieces to different companies and that there was nothing left of it."
Marchesseault once served as Wastech's senior vice president and CEO, according to published reports.
"(Marcheassault) also informed him that the investors were paid off and that they all walked away happy," Conway said in the motion.
Rummler was able to keep Marconi and Cummings from complaining to authorities in 2011 by telling them they needed to stay quiet because he was "helping the government" investigate Wastech's former chief operating officer, Craig Mullen, according to Assistant County Attorney Pat Conway.
In fact, Mullen had committed no wrongdoing, according to prosecutors. Rummler allegedly told Cummings that a retired CIA agent was funneling information to him, and that Rummler's life was possibly in danger.
"The story that (Rummler) gave to Cummings became more and more unbelievable over a period of time," Conway said in court papers. "For example, at one point (Rummler) told Cummings that he was informed by his CIA friend that he should back off because he was a high-profile Navy Seal."
Marconi sent an e-mail to in late 2011 to ask for his money back, prosecutors said. Marconi and Cummings filed a complaint with the state Bureau of Securities Regulation last summer. Last month, Rummler entered into an agreement with the BSR, admitting that he duped Marconi and Cummings. Rummler fully reimbursed the men $50,000. He pid a $2,500 fine to the BSR and $500 for the investigation, according to the consent order.

Carlos Pena Signs with Rays, Cubs Pick Up a Draft Pick
Carlos Pena just signed with the Tampa Bay Rays for one year and $7.25 million, according to multiple reports.
This is of note to the Cubs for three reasons:
(1) He's now officially a former Cub. I'll always remember him fondly. He was a great teammate, a good bat, a great glove, and always had a brilliant quote ready.
(2) The Cubs now officially get a sandwich pick between the first and second round in the 2012 draft for him. Sweet.
(3) Had he not rejected the Cubs' offer of arbitration (which formed the basis for the compensation the Cubs are now enjoying), the absolute lowest contract he could have received is $8 million, and it's far more likely that he would have received $10 to $11 million. Either he did the Cubs a very nice, pre-arranged favor, or Scott Boras terribly misread the market.

Patrick Willis's rookie season in San Francisco was also the final season for offensive lineman Larry Allen, a mountain of a man who's a finalist this year for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Willis said at Super Bowl Media Day today that taking on Allen at practice was the moment he realized how different the NFL would be from playing college football.
Willis described a 49ers training camp practice in which he thought he'd be able to run right past Allen and make a tackle. Instead, Allen drilled him and sent him flying across the field.
"I saw Larry Allen and I was like, 'I'm going to put a move on him and go get the ballcarrier. That's what I did in college,'" Willis said. "I'll never forget: He pushed me and I swear, I was like I started on one side of the field and ended up on the other side of the field."
Willis said that the 49ers' coaches got on his case about that one, and that part of the humiliation of getting chewed out was that the coaches just barked out his uniform number and his school, as if they weren't going to bother to learn his name until he showed he belonged.
"The worst part was hearing my coach say, '52, Mississippi, what are you doing?'" Willis recalled. "I was like, 'You see how big this dude is?'"
In time, Willis learned how to take on those big dudes and become an All-Pro linebacker. But in his first training camp, Willis was just the rookie who got thrown across the field by a future Hall of Famer.
