2012 Bavaria 55 Cruiser
*New Boat – Cancelled Order
BMW Design Group and Farr Yacht Design. Individually they conjure up the image of superior design and technology melded with classic style and function. Working together they are the creators of the new Bavaria Cruiser 55.
Featuring the sailing performance and exterior design that is the Farr trademark and enhanced by the unsurpassed interior styling of the BMW Design Group, the Bavaria Cruiser 55 sets a new standard for yachts of this size, and in fact any size.
Twin rudders allow for a dingy storage area in the transom that can accommodate a 9 foot inflatable with motor mounted, while providing the superior handling that is only possible with twin rudders.
Swing out transom seating doubles as a boarding ramp when moored stern to, or a water slide when at anchor.
Below decks, the Cruiser 55 adds a whole new dimension to cruising comfort. Four interior layouts combine imagination and practical use of space to provide the ideal layout for any owner. From an owner's version complete with crew's quarters, to couples cruising or full charter, this is a yacht that can accommodate the needs of any sailor.

Copy Light Factory is a workshop producing Copy Light – cube shaped lamps made of translucent paper with photocopied motifs of various well-known lamp designs. However, the owner is free to change the image to a lamp design of his/her own choosing. Thus Copy Light seeks the borders between the copy and the original. As a copy of a copy Copy Light turns into something new: an original lamp that communicates the problems of the current copyright system. The lamps are constructed and hung in the gallery as they are made, gradually filling and illuminating the space.
Copy Light was developed in the context of Copyshop.

Let The Music Play: No Money, but Medgar Evers Concert Series Survives
The shows run every Friday, through August, 2012, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., at the Medgar Evers Ampitheatre.
[Brooklyn: Music]
The show continues!
After a last-minute appeal from the public, Medgar Evers College administrators moved to save Dr. Mary Umolu's legacy, the Jazzy Jazz Festival, from being shunted aside for the 2012 season.
According to promoter Michael Howard, their initial Jazzy Jazz planning meeting with Medgar Evers officials looked positive. But they were baffled as they watched the passing of precious summer weeks without a word from the administration, despite their repeated phone calls which were met with reticence.
So Mr. Howard wrote an open letter to Howard Johnson, Provost of Medgar Evers through The Black Star News, which sparked a public response, resulting in a battery of calls to the administration.
The show will go on, but in a truncated form with limited financing, Howard reports. Instead of the original 12 nights throughout the summer, the schedule was cut to five Friday nights in August, beginning August 3.
"This historically Black institution will finally keep its commitment to the community by stepping up to the plate to uphold a tradition, in its fifteenth year," Howard said.
The shows run every Friday through August, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The Jazzy Jazz Festival, featuring world-class artists, will be held at the at the Medgar Evers Ampitheatre.

Back in the late '80s, General Motors had a concept that was the brainchild of then Corvette Chief Engineer Dave McClellan. The idea was to build the ultimate Corvette, one with great horsepower and handling, and to reset the bar for the zenith in Corvette performance. This ultimate Corvette would have to have an amazing engine with great sophistication and plenty of upgraded handling to make it all work right. After all, great power requires competent handling; they go hand in hand.
The concept turned out to be the ZR-1 Corvette that was sprung in the press in the spring of 1989. But before that introduction, the folks at Goodyear, to ready their tires for the upcoming ZR-1 platform, did some significant tire testing at the world-renowned Talladega Superspeedway. To aid in this effort, Goodyear and GM enlisted the talents of legendary Corvette hot-shot and all-around Corvette technical expert Dick Guldstrand. Dick readied one of his impressive GS-80 Corvettes-an '88 test mule, so to speak-for the efforts. The car was a great platform for the test, having just set a record at Germany's Hockenheim track, clicking off a better overall time than competitive Ferrari Testarossas and Porsche Carrera Turbos.
Because the ZR-1 would use larger-than-stock tires, the Guldstrand GS-80 was modified via the enlargement of the rear fenders to house the P315 wide tires. Several other suspension upgrades were made, as well as some engine enhancements from Dick's next-door neighbor, Traco Engineering in Culver City, California, which built the 383ci small-block stroker engine. For those not familiar with the Traco name, these were the same folks that built the most successful Trans-Am racing engines of the era, including the Donohue/Penske '68 and '69 Camaro engines, the Scarab, and a host of historically significant race powerplants.
The result of the Alabama tire test was a 180-plus-mph average time for the GS-80 in ZR-1 tires around the Talladega Superspeedway, setting the closed-course record at the time. Moreover, test drivers felt the impressive engine torque gave the car amazing off-the-line performance and great high-bank holding ability. Tire testing at the track consisted of infrared sensors positioned behind small holes in the wheelwell for a direct line between the sensors and the tire's treaded surface. In this manner, data was recorded that helped Goodyear create the awesome ZR-1 tires.
Today, Guldstrand still drives this mobile testbed for fun around Burbank, California (his new shop location). With the 4+3 manual transmission and performance gearing, the car is a blast to drive and easy on the backside with soft, streetable suspension. While he has considered selling the black machine, it has been tough to part with such a great piece of Corvette history, the missing link between the stock C4 and the ultimate Corvette, the ZR-1.
What's a GS-80?
The GS-80 shown here reflects Dick Guldstrand's imaginative engineering and knowledge from years of modifying Corvettes. The GS-80 modifications can be applied to any '85 and newer C4 Corvette.
The list of standard GS-80 components includes:
* 383ci high-performance engine, rated at 372 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque
* Edelbrock high-performance shock absorbers
* New higher-rate rear left spring
* Modified front springs
* Polyurethane wedges
* Polyurethane control-arm bushings
* Polyurethane sway-bar bushings
* Heim-jointed sway-bar end links
* Long spring bolts
* Polyurethane spring cups
* Camber control kit
* Polyurethane rear-trailing-arm bushings
* Heavy-duty brake system
Optional Equipment:
* High-performance wheels, 17x 9.5-inch front and 17x11-inch rear
* Goodyear P275/40-17 tires
* Rollbar or rollcage (as requested)
* Steel braided brake lines
* Heavy-duty brake pads
* Heavy-duty transmission cooler (for automatic only)
* Increased-performance automatic-transmission upgrade
* 2.5-inch-diameter exhaust system (off-road use only)
* Competition seatbelts
* Baer EradiSpeed brake system
* Power steering (for manual transmission cars only)

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Real Salt Lake (6-1-7, 25 points, West #2) earned a critical road point on Wednesday, drawing 1-1 with Columbus Crew (4-5-5, 17 points, East #5) at Crew Stadium.
With RSL playing its second road game in four days and a third match looming on Saturday, paired with absences due to international duty and injury, RSL Head Coach Jeff Cassar put out an unfamiliar looking lineup, starting the match in a 4-2-3-1 formation. DF Abdoulie Mansally, DF Carlos Salcedo and DF Rich Balchan earned the start in place of defensive regulars DF Tony Beltran, DF Nat Borchers and DF Chris Wingert.
MF Luis Gil gave Real Salt Lake the opening goal in the 56th minute, coolly finishing the rebound off a shot taken by Mansally to put RSL up 1-0. Heroics from RSL GK Jeff Attinella saw RSL through numerous late attacks but Crew FW Ethan Finlay eventually equalized for the home side in the 88th minute, deftly chipping a shot past a helpless Attinella.
Real Salt Lake got off to an energetic start, registering its first shot of the night in the first minute. RSL MF Javier Morales started the play, doing some nifty footwork in the midfield to lay off a pass to Gil who fired a shot from 25 yards out that flew wide of the net. Despite its bright start, the Claret-and-Cobalt took a while to adapt to the tactical switch, nearly conceding on several occasions throughout the first half.
Columbus had a golden opportunity to take the lead in the 12th minute when referee Baldomero Toledo whistled RSL DF Rich Balchan for a questionable penalty kick. Balchan was called for the PK after Columbus MF Agustin Viana and Balchan both went down in the box during a Crew corner kick. Columbus FW Frederico Higuain stepped up to take the spot kick but sent his shot high over the crossbar.
RSL continued to have difficulty finding its offensive rhythm through the first half, but had its own call for a penalty kick in the 19th minute. RSL's Morales tried to weave his way through the inside of the 18 yard box but was tripped up by two Crew defenders, but no call was given.
Columbus almost took the lead again a minute later. Crew DF Josh Williams smashed a bending volley from the right side of the box forcing what would be the first of many great diving saves from Attinella.
Real Salt Lake saw one of its best opportunities of the evening slip by in the 25th minute after some of its best buildup play in the first half. Morales was able to flick-on an entry pass from Mansally right into the path of RSL MF Ned Grabavoy, who found himself alone in the box. Columbus' Williams did well to recover though and managed to dispossess Grabavoy of the ball.
Real Salt Lake's defense was put to the test again in the 32nd minute. Columbus' Higuain combined well with Crew FW Dominic Oduro after picking up a turnover in the middle of the field. Higuain played a through ball for Oduro inside the box but RSL DF Chris Schuler was there though to block the shot with his leg. The threat of Higuain wouldn't last much longer as the Argentine playmaker was subbed off in the 44th minute after an apparent hamstring injury.
Real Salt Lake started the second half on the front foot, eventually resulting in the opening goal recorded by Gil in the 56th minute. The play started after a Morales corner kick was cleared to the top of the 18 yard box. RSL's Mansally ran onto the ball and hammered a left-footed shot that forced a great diving save from Crew GK Steve Clark. Gil was there to pounce on the rebound and coolly finished a shot that went off the inside of the far post for his second goal of the year.
Being down a goal seemed to invigorate Columbus, who frantically searched for an equalizer for the rest of the second half. Attinella went on to have one of his best performances, making a total of five heroic saves in the last 45 minutes to keep RSL in the game.
An onslaught of chances for the Crew came in the last 15 minutes of play. In the 73rd minute, Columbus' Williams made a great run down the right flank and blasted a shot forcing Attinella to come out and make an acrobatic one-handed save. Three minutes later, Crew MF Hector Jimenez collected a clearance at the top of the 18 yard box and volleyed a shot that seemed destined to the upper left corner of the goal. Attinella rose to the occasion and made another incredible one-handed diving save to send the ball out for a corner kick.
Columbus Crew MF Justin Meram had a pair of chances to net an equalizer in the closing minutes. In the 78th minute, Meram sent a curling rocket that Attinella again had to palm away. In the 84th minute, Meram found himself open in the box but RSL substitute Tony Beltran was able to tackle away the ball to deny the opportunity.
Columbus finally found the equalizer in the 88th minute. Crew substitute Ben Speas sent Crew FW Ethan Finlay streaking down the right wing with a great through ball. Attinella came out to try and deny the 1v1 situation but Finlay was able to chip the RSL goalkeeper to tie things up.
RSL will return to action on Saturday, when it will host Portland Timbers at 8:00 p.m. MT at Rio Tinto Stadium. An extremely limited amount of tickets remain to Saturday's match; they can be purchased at the Rio Tinto Stadium box office, online at www.RealSaltLake.com/Tickets or over the phone at 801-727-2700.
Real Salt Lake Match Notes – RSL 1–1 CLB
Box Score Notes:
- Tonight's draw improves RSL to a 6-1-7 record through its first 14 matches of the season, keeping RSL second in the league and Western Conference with 25 points.
- Wednesday's draw gives RSL a 5-10-2 all-time regular season record against Columbus Crew.
- Tonight marked the first deviation from RSL's usual midfield diamond formation (4-1-2-1-2) this year. Head Coach Jeff Cassar opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation with FW Olmes Garcia the lone striker up top.
- RSL Head Coach Jeff Cassar also put out a makeshift back line tonight that did not feature usual starters Tony Beltran, Nat Borchers and Chris Wingert. For the first time this year center back Chris Schuler was paired with DF Carlos Salcedo, who earned his first start of 2014 for the Claret-and-Cobalt tonight.
- RSL DF Rich Balchan and DF Abdoulie Mansally both earned their second starts of the year tonight. The two both last started in Real Salt Lake's scoreless draw against Sporting Kansas City on April 5.
- RSL MF John Stertzer earned his first career start for the Claret-and-Cobalt on Wednesday night. Stertzer, who is in his second year with the club, had only made five substitute appearances for a total of 51 minutes of playing time prior to his start tonight.
- RSL MF Luis Gil was in the starting eleven, his first start this year since RSL's scoreless draw against Sporting Kansas City on April 5, 2014.
- RSL backup GK Jeff Attinella earned his fifth start of the 2014 season Wednesday, filling in for veteran GK Nick Rimando. Attinella now posts a 1-1-4 record in 2014 and a 2-3-5 regular season record in his RSL career.
- RSL MF Cole Grossman recorded his sixth career start for the Claret-and-Cobalt Wednesday. The 25-year-old defensive midfielder replaced Captain Kyle Beckerman at the bottom of RSL's midfield diamond with the U.S. international is away at the USMNT's World Cup preparation camp in Palo Alto, Calif.
- Missing from today's lineup were U.S. internationals Captain Kyle Beckerman and GK Nick Rimando and Costa Rican international FW Alvaro Saborio. All three players left the club on May 14 for pre-World Cup training camps with their respective national teams. Beckerman and Rimando were named to the U.S.'s final 23-man World Cup roster on Thursday. Saborio suffered a fifth metatarsal fracture while training with the Costa Rican national team last week and will miss the World Cup and is scheduled to be out 3-4 months. Including today's game, Beckerman and Rimando will miss a minimum of four regular season matches and at least one Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup matches before returning from Brazil. RSL is now 1-1-2 without all three of Beckerman, Rimando and Saborio this year. The Claret-and-Cobalt is now 3-3-4 in MLS play when missing all three players since the start of 2013.
- RSL FW Joao Plata was missing from today's lineup after reinjuring his left hamstring against FC Dallas. The Ecuadorian has six goals this season, which ties him for the team lead with FW Alvaro Saborio.
- Real Salt Lake has now started 20 different players in 2014

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
Phone : 707-207-7413
Attorney Profiles: ADR Panel Member Database
The court encourages parties to resolve their case prior to trial by participating in Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR). The court offers several ADR options: mediation, arbitration, and neutral evaluation. Each of these programs provides a rather informal way of examining the issues in dispute so that the case may be resolved in a speedy but fair manner. ADR is voluntary and confidential. It eliminates a lot of the cost, risk, and stress of litigation. It also provides the parties with more flexibility and control over the process. Parties should consider ADR as early as possible in the litigation.
MediationContact: 707-207-7413
In mediation, each party presents his or her view of the case. A neutral mediator then helps the parties negotiate a settlement, and may meet privately with each party, back and forth, to achieve this. If no settlement is reached, the case is referred back to the judge to proceed with litigation. Mediation is the most popular form of ADR.Back to Top
ArbitrationContact: 707-207-7413
In arbitration, each party presents his or her evidence. A neutral arbitrator, acting somewhat like a judge, reviews the evidence and makes a decision as to which party prevails. The arbitration may or may not be binding. If it is not binding and at least one of the parties rejects the arbitrator's decision, the case is referred back to the judge to proceed with litigation.Back to Top
Neutral Evaluation (HENCE)Contact: 707-207-7413
In neutral evaluation (Helpful Early Neutral Case Evaluation), the parties meet with a neutral evaluator early in the litigation to discuss the case. The evaluator helps the parties identify and clarify the central issues of the dispute, assess the merits of the case, assist with discovery planning, promote the informal exchange of information, and facilitate the settlement process.Back to Top
Payment for ADR
The court requires the fees for ADR to be split equally by the parties at the rate set by the mediator/arbitrator/evaluator unless otherwise ordered by the court. Fees are usually charged on an hourly basis. The court offers "no fee" mediation to parties who cannot afford to pay for mediation. A party may request "no fee" mediation at the Case Management Conference or by filing a "Stipulation and Order Alternative Dispute Resolution" and attaching a declaration stating why mediation services should be provided at no cost to the parties.Back to Top
Civil Mediation Centers
The court maintains a civil mediation center located in the Old Solano Courthouse, 580 Texas Street, Fairfield, where a mediation, arbitration, or neutral evaluation may be held. To reserve a room, or two rooms, at one of the court's civil mediation centers, call 707-207-7413. The civil mediation center in Fairfield provides a list of the attorneys on the ADR panel and any ADR forms required for those who do not have internet access.Back to Top
ADR Panel
The court maintains a panel of attorneys who serve as mediators, arbitrators, and/or evaluators in Solano County cases and who have expertise relevant to the type of case filed. If the parties select an attorney who is not on the panel, the selection must be approved by the court. To obtain contact information and profiles of the attorneys on the panel, click: ADR Panel Member DatabaseBack to Top
ADR Forms
To initiate the ADR process, a party may select "ADR" on the Case Management Conference Statement and request ADR at the Case Management Conference or submit a "Stipulation and Order Alternate Dispute Resolution" to the court. A party must also submit an evaluation form after the ADR process is completed. To obtain the necessary forms, click:
- Stipulation and Order - ADR (English) (Spanish)
- Confidentiality Agreement (English) (Spanish)
- Evaluation Forms (English) (Spanish)
- ADR Panelist Application Packet

(written from a Production point of view)
Story arcs are story lines in Star Trek that are told over the course of multiple episodes. They are not simply two-parters or recurring characters and themes, but rather plots that are interwoven with other arcs and plot threads. An example of this is Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's introduction of the Dominion and the eventual Dominion War. Story arcs often take precedence over other plot elements and consume a series for several consecutive episodes, but in many cases (such as the Dominion War) they may take a back seat and re-enter the picture later on.
Prior to DS9, story arcs were a relatively minor part of the Star Trek universe. Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation both largely restored the status quo ante at the end of each episode, and even two-part episodes were somewhat rare. This changed due to the stationary nature of space station Deep Space 9, which did not simply move on to the next adventure each week; characters' actions had lasting consequences, and the events of one episode directly influenced the next. At the time, Ira Steven Behr had to fight with Viacom over making the show so serialized. [1]
Star Trek: Voyager took the idea of the story arc in a different direction by setting itself aboard a starship as per the traditional Trek formula but stranding its crew in the distant Delta Quadrant. This both enhanced and reduced the prevalence of story arcs; while alien races such as the Kazon and Borg appeared in multiple episodes, the show was hampered by its very nature: the object was to leave familiar elements behind, which meant each plot thread had a limited life span.
Star Trek: Enterprise, like DS9 before it, often relied on story arcs such as the Temporal Cold War and the Xindi arc that took up the entire third season. By the show's fourth season, Enterprise wrapped up these story arcs and instead refocused on the show's prequel concept with a series of "mini arcs." Most season four episodes are two- or three-part story lines, with few stand-alone episodes.
Feature-length episodesEdit
These episodes are originally broadcast in two hours, as opposed to the standard one hour. After their original run, feature length episodes are re-cut as two part episodes (see below), but are usually released in their original broadcast format as a single episode. They include:

Bob Ross Rocks
Painter Bob Ross was an inspiration for thousands of aspiring artists through his long running PBS show. Whether I liked his work or not ( I sometimes did) I admired his enthusiasm and encouraging manner. I also must give credit to him for building a huge TV audience as well as a multi-million dollar art supply empire that continues to this day, more than a decade after his untimely death from cancer in 1995. Bob Ross was only 52. PBS just released an homage in video that celebrates his quirky methods and personality. I got a real kick out of the video- have a look. It makes me want a Bob Ross t-shirt for Christmas.

Suspend Disbelief
Any book or movie that falls into the fantasy genre demands that you suspend disbelief and just sit back and enjoy the story. I think it would also be pretty cool to be able to suspend magical flames in my hand and then send them flying like the character in this book.The painting above is from a series of covers I did for the Chestomanci Series by Diana Wynne Jones.
The book is called The Lives of Christopher Chant and you can still get it, though the series of covers I did has been phased out and the books are now packaged with different covers. It's a bummer that most books that hang around for any length of time get the face lift treatment, but such is life. It was fun to do so many covers for the same author and series though. I think I did seven or eight Wynne Jones covers over a period of a couple of years.

Tommy O'Regan collected a goal and an assist in the game against Merrimack Friday (Photo: Justine Agaloos).
ANDOVER, Mass. – The No. 20 Harvard men's hockey team showed its mettle on the power play, capping the night by killing a five-minute major in overtime en route to a 2-2 tie at Merrimack Friday night. The tie is Harvard's first of the season as the Crimson moves to 4-3-1, and Merrimack shifts to 5-7-3 on the year.
A great look for Alex Fallstrom early in third period went wide of the cage as the senior barely missed a close-range attempt just minutes into the stanza. Merrimack had a number of good looks through the third as a pair of Harvard penalties saw it gain two man-advantages. The final play of the period put Harvard in a significant bind, as senior captain Danny Biega was booked for a five-minute major as time expired in regulation.
Playing a man down for the entire overtime period, the Crimson penalty kill had its defining moment of the season, allowing just three shots to reach goalie Raphael Girard. Fallstrom even had a good look on a short-handed rush in the extra period, but Merrimack goalie Sam Marotta made the save, forcing the game to end in a 2-2 tie.
Harvard applied solid pressure in the early going, testing Merrimack goalie Sam Marotta with five shots before six minutes had elapsed, and limiting the Warriors' shots on goal to two in that span. The momentum gradually shifted to the home team and the Crimson didn't make it easy on itself, as a trio of penalties saw the hosts amass 4:20 of power-play time towards the back portion of the first stanza. The Harvard power-play, ranked fourth nationally with a 92-percent success rate, was its usual poised self, thanks in large part to 10 big saves from Raphael Girard. Merrimack's best chance came when Jordan Heywood banged a close-range shot off the left pipe on the Warriors' second power play of the game, but the period closed with the score knotted at 0-0.
The first task of the second period was to kill 1:40 of a Merrimack power playand Raphael Girard stopped two shots to help the Crimson accomplish the feat. The focus turned to the offensive zone and a burst of pressure by the guests resulted in the game's first goal. Brendan Rempel flung a puck down low to Tommy O'Regan along the back boards and O'Regan sent the puck back out to Desmond Bergin along the blue line. Bergin brought the puck to the doorstep and O'Regan circled through to shovel the puck past Sam Marotta for his first goal of the season just 3:13 into the second.
The same combination that produced the first goal struck again just 31 seconds later, giving the guests a rapid 2-0 lead. O'Regan received the puck approaching the Merrimack blue line and quickly dished to Bergin who was streaking to his left. Bergin wound up and blasted a low line drive that confounded Marotta and found the back of the net cleanly for a two-goal lead at 3:44. The goal was Bergin's first of his collegiate career.
The hosts wouldn't stay quiet for long and closed the gap to one when Rhett Bly scored a short-handed tally at 6:27, the first short-handed goal allowed by the Crimson in nearly a year. The game progressively got more physical and the puck stayed in the Harvard zone for extended stretches of the period. Merrimack took advantage of a long rebound with 6:02 to play in the second when Mike Collins put home the ricochet of a Jordan Heywood shot that beat Girard top shelf, tying the score 2-2. Harvard was outshot, 16-9, in the frame but tightened up its defense to preserve the 2-2 score heading into the second intermission.
Girard finished the game with 36 saves while O'Regan collected the fourth multi-point game of his career.
Harvard is back in action Monday when it welcomes UMass Lowell to Cambridge for a 7 p.m. game.

The goal of this initiative is to improve statistical information and analysis of out-of-school children (OOSC) and to scrutinize the factors leading to exclusion from schooling and the policies related to enhancing participation. As part of this global initiative, this report aims to improve statistical information and analysis of OOSC in Pakistan and guide concrete education sector reforms in this regard. It develops profiles of children who remain out of school, investigates the major barriers to education, and identifies the reasons why children in Pakistan drop out of school.

Those poor Mayans. All this time we've been pointing to their broken calendar with anxiety and dream, when we really should have been pointing at completely plausible alien-based religion created by a science fiction author. Do you think there'll be Tom Cruise? Oh yeah, there'll be Tom Cruise.
In Pocket God Episode 47: Apocalypse the final room of the Apocalypse Temple opens to the poor pygmies populating the tortured lands, revealing something more horrifying than anything that's come before it—calamari. I guess that's supposed to be the alien god Xenu, but man he looks like he'd be delicious fried with a little tartar sauce.
Can the pygmies halt the apocalypse? Well sure, I suppose so. Maybe there are some magical gems lurking about that could lend a hand. Or maybe they're just screwed. Grab the game on iTunes and find out!
Thanks to the Bolt Creative folks for choosing the long-gone band Headboard to provide the music for this trailer. I used to listen to them like crazy back in the day. I was pretty stupid back then.

Wednesday, the Afghanistan Analysts Network (AAN) released its report, "Death of an Uruzgan Journalist: Command Errors and Collateral Damage," by Kate Clark on the July 2011 shooting death of journalist Omaid Khpalwak. Clark's details on how Khpalwak died corroborate and then go beyond the investigation already conducted by the U.S.-led NATO forces who were responsible. Her report was important to write, and is important to read.
Khpalwak, who worked for the BBC and Pajhwok Afghan News, was at a local office of state broadcaster Radio and Television of Afghanistan in Tarin Kot, capital of Uruzgan province, when the Taliban targeted the governor's office and police headquarters at the same location. It wasn't immediately clear whether the Taliban had killed him, or he died in the cross-fire when the NATO forces, known as the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), counterattacked.
Eventually, as we reported in September 2011, ISAF released a statement taking responsibility for the killing. They said an American soldier shot Khpalwak because he thought he was an armed insurgent reaching for a bomb under his vest. "He was unarmed; no weapon was found nearby. It appears all the rounds perceived as coming from him were instead fired by U.S. soldiers," the ISAF statement said. Investigators concluded that troops may have mistaken a press card Khpalwak was holding up as identification for a bomb trigger.
Using a freedom of information request, Australian reporter Tom Hyland, writing for The Sunday Age in January this year, managed to get a heavily redacted version of the full ISAF report -- which still had plenty of revealing detail.
While Hyland pressed for the full official account to fill out his own investigation, AAN's Clark was on the ground delving into the full circumstances of Khpalwak's death. She found conflicting accounts. The Afghan government, in an unreleased report Clark managed to access, said the Taliban had killed him. Further muddying the waters, ISAF initially claimed that Afghan National Security Forces had led the counter-attack. Clark's harrowing account of the siege of the broadcaster's office -- first a Taliban suicide bomb attack and then the counter-attack by ISAF and what it initially said were Afghan troops -- refutes those claims. Her reporting found little evidence of any but the most negligible involvement of Afghan forces.
I checked this morning with ISAF for their response to Clark's report. This is what Lieut. Col. Jimmie Cummings, who handles public affairs in Afghanistan, had to say:
ISAF stands by its reporting on this unfortunate incident. After a thorough investigation it was determined that Mr. Khpalwak was killed in a case of mistaken identity. The reporter was shot by a U.S. member who believed he was an insurgent that posed a threat and was about to detonate a suicide vest improvised explosive device (IED). After thoroughly looking at all the evidence it was determined that U.S. forces acted appropriately and within the ROE [rules of engagement] under the circumstances.
Still, AAN's decision to cut through the chaos of what happened that day is admirable. In raising many questions and levelling serious charges about the various official accounts of Khpalwak's death, she reminds us of the importance of ground-level reporting and dogged investigation -- something that often goes by the boards in the rush of daily events in a theatre of war like Afghanistan. Even if all sides are operating in the best of faith, simply relying on official accounts of combatants from any side in a conflict does not do the job.
AAN wants more honesty from ISAF: They initially claimed the Taliban killed Omaid and that Afghan forces were there and had performed well. Perhaps worse, they wouldn't release the internal military report into his death -- a report that was critical of a commander's failure to exercise tactical patience and to check for civilians present -- until a freedom of information application was made. AAN says more forthrightness could have assuaged widespread suspicions of a cover-up that festered for months.
One take-away from the report is a concern that CPJ has raised before: Khpalwak was killed in his place of work, a radio and television broadcast facility, waving his press card, unarmed, in the middle of a chaotic fire fight in a confined area. In the U.S. Army and Marine Corp's Counterinsurgency Field Manual (COIN-FM) -- the basic outline of tactics for troops in situations like those encountered in Afghanistan -- there is not one word of how combat troops should interact with journalists, local or foreign, who they encounter in the field.
One of the goals of Clark's report is to "raise the question of whether local journalists, who are the key figures in reporting in conflict zones in Afghanistan, can be better protected." In my reporting on local journalists in Pakistan's Federally Administered Tribal Areas in October 2009 I raised a similar issue. It's as good a point to make now as it was back then:
As the U.S. military calculates its strategy in Afghanistan and Pakistan, it should reassess its own approach toward journalists in the field. The U.S. military should set an international example by training its troops on rules of conduct when they encounter local reporters in the field. To be effective, those rules should be written in consultation with the global community of journalists, and the next edition of the military's Counterinsurgency Field Manual should include those rules. The COIN-FM reflects the most current thinking of the world's most prominent military. It is the rule book by which U.S. troops behave in the field, and those rules must be laid down clearly.
If those rules had been laid down more clearly, just possibly Omaid Khpalwak might still be alive today.

Tick Control At Maryland
How do I identify ticks?
Ticks are small insects that vary in size and color. Adults of most species are approximately 1/8" long. Their young, called nymphs, may be considerably smaller, approximately the size of a large grain of sand. Ticks may have either 6 or 8 legs depending on the life stage. A professional should be consulted for the appropriate species identification.
Where did I get ticks from?
Ticks exist outdoors in overgrown grass and shrubs. They wait patiently for a host to pass by and they grab hold as you brush past the plant. Only the brown dog tick reproduces indoors. All others species hitchhike from the exterior. Pets are a common source of ticks within the home. In some rare cases, wildlife may bring them indoors if they are somehow getting into your home.
What can I do to get rid of ticks?
Removing overgrown plants and grass will greatly help to reduce tick pressure on the exterior of your home. Treating pest with the appropriate preventative products as directed on the product label will also help to prevent them from being brought indoors. Checking kids and pest as they come indoors in high risk environments is also a good practice.
What are ticks effects on me or my home?
With the exception of the Brown Dog Tick, most tick species do not reproduce indoors. Instead, they are introduced from the exterior of your home on people and pets after they have walked through a tick infested environment. Ticks may transmit diseases such as Lyme's Disease and Rocky Mountains Spotted Fever. Lyme's is especially prevalent in our area. It is transmitted by the Deer Tick.
How we protect your home or property!
Vikings highly trained professionals will inspect your home, properly identify the species present and form a treatment plan to your individual needs. Safety and effectiveness are the cornerstones of our control programs. Please contact Viking today to set up your valuable free consultation.

When Alfred Eisenstaedt photographed Marilyn Monroe at her Hollywood home in 1953, the 54-year-old LIFE staffer and the 26-year-old actress were—on the face of it, at least—an utterly improbable, mismatched pair.
An artist and a master craftsman with the camera, the German-born Eisenstaedt had been a professional photographer for three decades (he would keep shooting into the 1990s) and by the early 1950s had made several of the 20th century's most recognizable, iconic pictures. His "V-J Day in Times Square," for example—a.k.a, "The Kiss"—is arguably the single most famous, reproduced and (lovingly) parodied photograph ever made. He had traveled everywhere and photographed most everyone, from Hitler and Hemingway to Robert Oppenheimer and Albert Einstein.
In photographic circles he was something of a legend, and over the next four decades would continue to create fond, inimitable pictures of the famous (Jackie Kennedy, Leonard Bernstein, Sophia Loren) and the unknown. His unforgettable shot of children reacting to a 1963 puppet show in Paris, for example, remains one of the single greatest portraits of raw, innocent wonder ever produced.
Jacob Deschin, a long-time photography critic and "camera editor" at the New York Times, said of Eisenstaedt in 1954: "After 25 years of professionalism, he is still an amateur at heart, excited about his medium, full of delight in persons and things and as enthusiastic as a beginner."
For her part, by 1953 Marilyn Monroe was indisputably an actress on the rise—that year alone she would star in three memorable movies: Niagara, How to Marry a Millionaire and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes—and there was little doubt that bigger things were on the horizon; but even her most ardent fans could hardly have imagined the utterly singular, enormous place in the pop culture pantheon that she would someday occupy. Her career-defining screen roles (Bus Stop, The Misfits, The Seven Year Itch and, of course, Some Like It Hot) were still to come, but unmistakable glimmers of the Marilyn mystique—sex goddess, muse, troubled soul—were there for anyone with eyes to see.
[Buy the LIFE book, Remembering Marilyn]
Happily, if anyone had eyes to see, it was "Eisie." The images that he captured on one afternoon in 1953 remain not only among the warmest, most casually intimate photos of Marilyn that anyone ever made: they also serve as a poignant record of a young woman on the very cusp of both genuine superstardom and years of gradually, ever-deepening misery. Defined less by her film work and more by her celebrity, her broken marriages (to baseball Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio and great American playwright, Arthur Miller), depression, drugs, affairs—most famously and devastatingly, of course, with JFK — Marilyn Monroe's life in the decade between that 1953 photo session with Eisenstaedt and her death in August 1962 has been chronicled, dissected, analyzed and sifted so thoroughly that there's little need to recount it here.
Instead, LIFE.com offers this series of photos—most of which never ran in LIFE magazine—as both a tribute and a reminder: a tribute to the great, uniquely empathetic photographer who made them, and a reminder of the talented, beautiful, utterly alive young Marilyn who so bewitched the world, her whole life still ahead of her.

I just returned from a whirlwind weekend in San Francisco and parts therein. I've made several visits there over the years but, this time, my family came along and I loved introducing them to one of my favorite places.
The purpose of the trip was my nephew's wedding so that, of course, was the real highlight of the weekend. The nuptuals took place at The Tavern at Lark Creek, a charming Victorian inn nestled in a stand of redwood trees. Hard to say which was the more enticing aroma: food or trees! The weather was perfect, the bride and groom all smiles, and by day's end, they were well on their way to happily ever after and the rest of us were on our way to Frisco.
With a full moon shimmering overhead, the Bay was more enchanting than ever. With our limited time, we did what is de rigueur: Golden Gate Bridge, Embarcadero, Fisherman's Wharf, sea lions, Lombard Street, sourdough bread, and clam chowder. We mourned having to miss Alcatraz, Golden Gate Park, and a bike ride across the bridge itself, but we enjoyed an unanticipated trek (read: we got lost) through Oakland's International Container Terminal (a surprisingly interesting sidetrip!), a quick jaunt through the Larkspur Farmer's Market, and a marvelous stroll around Sausalito which culminated in a display of some wonderfully whimsical creations by Dr. Seuss at Petri's Fine Arts.
After so much romance, so much scenery, and lots of special moments with new friends and old, a last-minute suggestion led to the best denouement we could ever have hoped for. En route to the airport, we found ourselves at sunset at Ocean Beach. Oh, my goodness. California's coast has no shortage of stunning views, but this one is truly breathtaking. After our frenetic pace, it was like a visual elixer. We drank in the serenity, the more adventurous of us explored the morass of caves and baths below, then we joined up at Louis' Restaurant (less pretentious than Cliff House, and with an equally interesting history) to cap off our day.
Didn't leave our hearts in San Francisco but, boy, we sure brought home some good memories.

The Closed iPad is a Moral Problem
At issue here is control. Apple wants to control what you can and can't do with your computer. (To my knowledge no one has claimed otherwise. Speculate all you like on Apple's motivation for wanting such control; that's beside the point.) I happen to find this morally objectionable.
Cory Doctorow and others have astutely noticed that people don't respond much to arguments based on morality, so they framed their complaints differently, emphasizing practical effects. That was a smart strategy, because it let them be more persuasive, but make no mistake, this is a moral issue.
Unfortunately, some have failed to see past the surface of these arguments, causing them to write a bunch of increasingly irrelevant rebuttals.
Ultimately, I think both sides of this "debate" are falling victim to a massive confirmation bias. If you read a statement like this:
What makes products great is their innovation, their creativity, other ineffable qualities. Not the applicability of the first-sale doctrine.
You may just nod in agreement, or you may say, "hold on there, bucko, that's a hefty assertion, but an assertion is not an argument (or even evidence)." Same goes for something like this:
Buying an iPad for your kids isn't a means of jump-starting the realization that the world is yours to take apart and reassemble; it's a way of telling your offspring that even changing the batteries is something you have to leave to the professionals.
A hundred little implicit (dis)agreements get strung together when you read one of these essays, and determine whether you find it convincing or repulsive.
The confirmation bias is especially strong here because everyone dances around the real issue without saying it outright: the closed nature of the iPad is morally wrong. As with any moral issue, it isn't something you can argue for or against effectively without a groundwork of shared values. Either you recognize this issue or not. Either you consider it important or not.
Folks, of course the iPad will sell lots of units, because, in spite of its moral bankrupcy, it is well designed, it appeals to mass-market consumerism, and it is backed by Apple's powerful marketing machine. This may or may not qualify as "success", depending on your point of view.
Untouchable Design
Why are Apple fans so worked up about this device, really? Because of its revolutionary design?
The bet is roughly that the future of computing:
- has a UI model based on direct manipulation of data objects
- completely hides the filesystem from the user
- favors ease of use and reduction of complexity over absolute flexibility
- favors benefit to the end-user rather than the developer or other vendors
- lives atop built-to-specific-purpose native applications and universally available web apps
Thing is, that describes the litl spot-on. I think excitement about the iPad is much less about its design, and much more about the simple fact of Apple's market position. If these radical design principles were really so important, folks would have been just as excited about the litl's launch way way back in November.
This especially undermines all those put-up-or-shut-up arguments about how nobody else competes with Apple's design and that's why the iPad is great despite its closed nature. I have yet to see a single thoughtful comment claiming that the iPad is good while the litl simultaneously is not. If someone manages to do this, not through speculation, but having actually used the litl (and even if we may disagree on the details or the conclusion), then great. Until then, you can't credibly claim that no-one but Apple produces good design.

Jury seated in Orlando shooting spree murder trial
Jason Rodriguez faces life in prison, if convicted
ORLANDO, Fla. – A jury was seated Tuesday in the murder trial of Jason Rodriguez, the man accused of going on a shooting rampage in downtown Orlando in 2009.
Rodriguez, 44, stands accused of opening fire inside the Gateway Center and shooting six people, one of whom died. Rodriguez had been fired from the architectural firm two years earlier.
Opening statements will begin Thursday at 9:30 a.m.
Doctors previously testified that Rodriguez suffers from hallucinations and schizophrenia, but a judge last week found him competent to stand trial for murder.
Rodriguez's attorneys plan to argue he was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and was insane at the time of the shooting.
If convicted, Rodriguez faces up to life in prison.

Del Ozonators
Get the clearest and cleanest water for the pool or spa with Ozone sanitation. Gives you such a significant reduction in chlorine use so it translates into less money, less time balancing water chemistry, fresher water and reduced environmental impact.
Ozone is an excellent way to sanitize your pool without the use of any harsh chemicals and annoying odors. Proven to kill up to 99.99% of bacteria, viruses and molds found in pools as well as other organic contaminants, the only by-product of ozone disinfection is oxygen. The most powerful, naturally-occurring oxidizer that can safely be used in a swimming pool or spa, ozone is faster, safer and 200 times more effective than chlorine. Chlorine produces a by-product called chloramine which is known to form trihalomethane (a suspected carcinogen). Ozone prevents or destroys chloramine formation in pool and spa water, while having no negative effect on pool water balance (pH, total alkalinity or calcium hardness). Ozone is:
EPA approved as an antimicrobial disinfectant
FDA approved as an antimicrobial food additive, improving food safety
USDA approved as an organic food additive
EPA listed as safe for discharge into surface and ground water
Del Ozonators have utilized the amazing power of ozone to help you maintain a healthy, sparkling water; and are available for use in both In Ground and Above Ground pools, and spas.
