Transparency Victories
EFF filed suit against the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), demanding data on certifications and authorizations the agency has issued for the operation of unmanned aircraft, also known as drones. The Federal Aviation Authority, part of the DOT, is the sole entity within the federal government responsible for authorizing domestic drone flights, providing a certification or authorization for any drone flying over 400 feet. Prior to our suit, there was no information available to the public about who specifically had obtained these authorizations or for what purposes. Through our lawsuit, we received specific and detailed information on the drone licensing process that was never before released. This prompted significant public awareness and discussion about the privacy and surveillance issues with drones. EFF partnered with MuckRock, an open government organization that helps individuals send requests for public records, to crowd-source FOIA requests to local law enforcement agencies about their use of unmanned aircrafts. EFF also filed a follow up request with DOT for more detailed records in October of 2012. Additionally, EFF asked the Department of Homeland Security about how and why Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) is using its predator drones on behalf of other law enforcement agencies.
We have plotted out all the information we've received about applications to fly domestic drones on our Map of Domestic Drone Authorizations. (Clicking this link will serve content from Google.)
In July 2009 EFF filed suit against the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and a half-dozen other federal agencies involved in intelligence gathering demanding the immediate release of reports about potential misconduct.
The agencies were required to submit periodic reports of "any intelligence activities of their organizations that they have reason to believe may be unlawful or contrary to Executive order or Presidential directive" to the Intelligence Oversight Board. The board consisting of private citizens with security clearances was tasked with reviewing those reports summarizing them and forwarding to the president those that it believed described violations of the law.
Before the USA PATRIOT Act the FBI could only use so-called National Security Letters for securing the records of suspected terrorists or spies. But under PATRIOT the FBI can use them to get telephone Internet financial credit and other personal records about anybody without any court approval as long as it believes the information could be relevant to an authorized terrorism or espionage investigation.
From the moment PATRIOT was passed we said the NSL power was ripe for abuse and unconstitutional and in March 2007 the Department of Justice's inspector general released a report confirming extensive misuse of NSLs in a sample of four FBI field offices. An internal audit by the FBI confirmed that the problem was far more extensive than first thought.
In the wake of the inspector general's report EFF filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit seeking fundamental information about the FBI's abuse of power. On June 16 2007 a federal judge ordered the FBI to process 2 500 pages a month responsive to EFF's request. Here you will find key excerpts of the materials as well the full documents.
In 2007 the New York Times reported that the military was increasingly using NSLs to gather intelligence within the United States. In response EFF requested documents from the Pentagon to document its use of NSLs. In October 2007 the Department of Defense began producing documents responsive to EFF's request.
EFF working with the Samuelson Law Technology and Public Policy Clinic at the University of California Berkeley School of Law (Samuelson Clinic) filed suit on December 1 2009 against a half-dozen government agencies for refusing to disclose their policies for using social networking sites for investigations data-collection and surveillance.
In November 2006 the Department of Homeland Security revealed that for years it has assigned "risk assessments" to millions of travelers entering or leaving the country. The Automated Targeting System reviews data from seven large government databases plus the Passenger Name Record data from the airlines. Effectively if you travel internationally ATS creates an instant personal and detailed dossier on you that Customs and Border Protection officers use to decide whether you get to enter the country or will be subject to an enhanced (and potentially invasive) search. The government will retain the data for 15 years. In December 2006 EFF sued DHS to learn more about the invasive unprecedented data-mining system deployed on American travelers.

Missing racing sausage left in Wisconsin bar
"Guido" had been missing nearly two weeks
CEDARBURG, Wis. - The case of the missing sausage is closed.
The Journal Sentinel in Milwaukee is reporting the 7-foot Italian sausage costume, usually seen racing around Miller Park during Brewers games, has been found after going missing for nearly two weeks.
Guido, the sausage with the chef's hat and bow tie, was dropped off a bar in Cedarburg Wednesday night, hours after the missing costume became national news.
Jen Mohney, a bartender at TJ Ryan's, told the Journal Sentinel two men -- one wearing a hoodie pulled over his face -- lugged the costume into the bar, dropped it onto a stool and told her "You did not see anything."
She said they left quickly, and she called police.
The costume was last seen bar hopping in the area Feb. 16.Missing racing sausage left in Wisconsin bar

Toggle: English / Spanish
The large bowel [large intestine or the colon] is part of the digestive system. It runs from the small intestine to the rectum. It is made up of three portions; the ascending, transverse and descending colon. The ascending colon is sometimes referred to as the right colon; the descending colon is sometimes referred to as the left, or sigmoid colon.
Bowel resection may be indicated for:
The patient is deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia). A lower midline incision is made in the abdomen. Sometimes, the surgeon will use a lateral lower transverse incision instead.
The diseased part of the large intestine (colon) is removed. The two healthy ends are then sewn or stapled back together and the incision is closed. A stapling procedure is shown here.
If it is necessary to spare the intestine from its normal digestive work while it heals, a temporary opening of the intestine onto the abdomen (colostomy) may be done. A temporary colostomy will be closed and repaired later. If a large portion of the bowel is removed, the colostomy may be permanent. The large intestine (colon) absorbs most of the fluid from foods. When the colon is bypassed by a colostomy in the right colon, the colostomy output is generally liquid stool (feces). If the colon is bypassed in the left colon, the colostomy output is generally more solid stool. The constant or frequent drainage of liquid stool can cause the skin around the colostomy to become inflamed. Careful skin care and a well-fitting colostomy bag can reduce this irritation.
Most patients will stay in the hospital for 5 to 7 days. Complete recovery from surgery may take 2 months. During the first few days after surgery, eating is restricted.

Multicore chips could bring about the biggest change in computing since the microprocessor
Brian Hayes
Why build chips with multiple processors? Why not just keep cranking up the speed of a single CPU? If the latter option were feasible, the chipmakers would be delighted to adopt it. They are turning to multicore systems only because the path to higher gigahertz seems to be blocked, at least for now.
The causes of this impasse lie in the peculiar physical and economic laws that govern the design of integrated circuits. The most celebrated of those laws is an economic miracle: As transistors or other components are made smaller and packed more densely on the surface of a silicon chip, the cost of producing the chip remains nearly constant. Thus the cost per transistor steadily declines; it's now measured in nanodollars. This extraordinary fact is the basis of Moore's Law, formulated in 1965 by Gordon E. Moore, one of the founders of Intel. Moore observed that the number of transistors on a state-of-the-art chip doubles every year or two.
Less famous than Moore's Law but equally important are several "scaling laws" first stated in 1974 by Robert H. Dennard and several colleagues at IBM. Dennard asked: When we reduce the size of a transistor, how should we adjust the other factors that control its operation, such as voltages and currents? And what effect will the changes have on performance? He found that voltage and current should be proportional to the linear dimensions of the device, which implies that power consumption (the product of voltage and current) will be proportional to the area of the transistor. This was an encouraging discovery; it meant that even as the number of devices on a chip increased, the total power density would remain constant.
Dennard's conclusion about performance was even more cheering. In digital circuits, transistors act essentially as on-off switches, and the crucial measure of their performance is the switching delay: the time it takes to go from the conducting to the nonconducting state or vice versa. The scaling laws show that delay is proportional to size, and so as circuits shrink they can be operated at higher speed.
Taken together, these findings suggest that our universe is an especially friendly place for making electronic computers. In other realms, the laws of nature seem designed to thwart us. Thermodynamics and quantum mechanics tell us what we can't hope to do; levers amplify either force or distance but not both. Everywhere we turn, there are limits and tradeoffs, and no free lunch. But Moore's Law and the Dennard scaling rules promise circuits that gain in both speed and capability, while cost and power consumption remain constant. From this happy circumstance comes the whole bonanza of modern microelectronics.

foamy q&a stainless cleaner works good also
foamy q&a stainless cleaner works good also
We wash our stainless trailers inside and out weekly with Simple Green. The 2008 Deerskin I tow looks like new. Not sure how it works on really dingy stuff, because ours never really get that dirty (because we wash them weekly).
Be careful about using caustic or acidic cleaners on trailers or boxes. The stainless or aluminum will hold up fine, but any galvanized or zinc plated hardware can lose its plating and begin to rust.

Every day, more doors open for women, allowing them to step into territories once only allotted to men. These doors open thanks to women who dare to enter these arenas, despite huge obstacles and criticism, paving the way for future generations and changing the way we look at the roles of not only women, but also men, in the world. They are pioneers. One of these women who helped make these changes is former congresswoman Patricia Schroeder.
Last week, I had the pleasure of sitting down for an exclusive interview with Patricia Schroeder, via Skype, to discuss her long history of public service, and her latest project, an interactive children's app called The House That Went On Strike. For those who are unaware of this amazing woman's journey in life, below are a few highlights. The interview, as well as a personal message from Patricia Schroeder regarding last week's shooting in Aurora, Colorado, is found at the end of the post.
Forty years ago, Patricia Schroeder became the first woman from Colorado elected to Congress. At that time, she was also the second-youngest person ever elected to Congress. She would serve Colorado's first district for 24 years. What made this even more groundbreaking was that she was the mother of two small children. When she decided to run for Congress, she ran under the assumption that she would not win. Unexpectedly, she was thrust into the political arena, with a two-year-old and six-year-old in tow, and being told from even the most prominent feminists of the time that she was sure to fail. None of this stopped her, not even the fact she would have to bring diapers to the floor of Congress when babysitters would be unavailable and she was potty-training her two-year-old.

Mayor's Notebook: Let's work together to improve Sibley Lake Park
Rumors, rumors, rumors.
Remember when I suggested several years ago that if you hear something strange, follow up by calling city hall (568-5222) or the mayor's office (568-2355)? Well, last week I learned that the city is going to sell Sibley Lake Park — is it true?
Absolutely not!
But, on behalf of the Park Board members who work very hard to make our parks top-notch, let me give you some background.
Sibley Lake Park, located at the end of Sibley Street directly above Sibley Lake, is most likely what you would call "an original Pequot park." It is actually located on Pequot Boulevard, a section that, if one were to be honest, needs repair/redesign.
On a bluff above the lake, it has magnificent old Norway pines that tower high into the sky. On the other hand, these tall trees block the sun and make the park dark.
Quite a number of years ago, playground equipment was installed; but the key words here are "quite a number of years ago." Over the years, playground equipment has changed, becoming both more exciting and more colorful.
In addition, the park is underutilized by people you would like to see use it and overutilized by an element you'd prefer not to be there. This has been a dilemma for the Park Board for many years.
To top it off, the stairs down to the lake are in serious need of repair and the first estimate was $70,000.
In April, a park survey was designed and put on the city website. Cathy Malecha, Park Board chair, and I delivered this survey to homes in the area. There were some positive, concrete suggestions given to improve the park. As you can imagine, new playground equipment, better lighting, removal of light posts and better parking were among the top priorities.
This May, the Park Board met at Sibley Lake Park. Sandy Peine, city clerk, was there with her pen and paper to take notes. A lot of brainstorming of ideas took place — and, as I hope you are aware, whenever brainstorming takes place, ALL ideas should be tossed onto the paper. A few will rise to the top, most will not.
Yes, selling Sibley Lake Park to use the funds for another park was suggested. Did it rise to the top? No, it was one of the first ideas the board eliminated when it analyzed ideas.
The Park Board made a list of priorities for the park but, as you can guess, they all add up to a lot of money.
Several goals for the park are being achieved: The Sibley Lake Association has donated funds to repair/replace the bottom section of the stairs leading to the fishing pier the association had donated a number of years ago. A 4-H group will design a dog park and put it into place on the southern portion of the park to draw people to the park. The group raised approximately $400 toward its goal at the recent Pet Parade, but still has a long way to go to cover the cost of fencing the area.
Sibley Lake Park has a long, healthy life ahead of it. On the other hand, it also needs a good amount of funds to make it a successful park — one where residents and visitors will take their children and grandchildren (and dogs) to play on fun, updated equipment.
This should be a priority for all of us. Let's work together to achieve this goal.

Picone steps down as baseball coach at LCSC
LEWISTON, Idaho - After two seasons at the helm, Gary Picone announced at a news conference on Friday afternoon that he will step down as head coach of the Lewis-Clark State College baseball program. Picone, who will remain the school's athletic director, also announced that Western Oregon University head coach Jeremiah Robbins has been hired as his successor.
The changes will begin officially on July 1.
"When we made the transition two years ago we wanted to be sure the transition was one that allowed the baseball program to maintain its status in the baseball community, especially in the area of recruiting," said Picone. "I feel really good about where the program is as it relates to scheduling, recruiting, and the overall perception of the program."
Picone; who became only the second head coach in 35 years at LCSC when he took over duties on Sept. 1, 2010, after legendary coach Ed Cheff retired; led the Warriors to a two-year record of 80-31, including a 42-14 mark last season and a postseason ranking of No. 8 in the NAIA.
"I really need to thank several people who supported my efforts the past two years in the dual role I served as head coach and athletic director. Specifically I'd like to thank Ed Cheff, Brooke Cushman, Gus Knickrehm, and Tony Fernandez."
Picone, who was named the NAIA West Region's Under Armour Athletic Director of the Year in 2011, says that one of his major focuses will now be on preparing and securing the bid to host the NAIA World Series.
"Gary Picone demonstrated outstanding leadership as head baseball coach over the past two years," said Fernandez, president of Lewis-Clark State. "He not only coached the Warriors to two successful seasons on the playing field, more importantly, he served as a mentor to our student athletes in both successful and difficult times. I know that I speak for the entire college in thanking Gary for serving as head baseball coach, and for his continuing leadership as LCSC athletic director."
LCSC will host the 2013 NAIA World Series, and bids to host the tournament in 2014 and beyond are due in December.
"The baseball program and LC athletics deserve and need to have someone in leadership who wakes up every day with a singular focus," Picone said. "I believe this is the perfect timing, and mostly because we've found the right person to lead the baseball program."
Robbins comes to the Warriors after seven seasons as head coach with Western Oregon. He compiled a 252-109 record during his time with the Wolves, including a 170-34 record in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (NCAA D-II).
"Jeremiah Robbins is exactly the kind of person the LC program needs going forward," said Picone. "He has established a strong reputation for his coaching ability in the college baseball community, and he has a proven record of excellent leadership."
Robbins takes the helm of one of the premier teams in the NAIA and one of the most successful programs in all of college baseball. In the last 37 years, the Warriors have built a record of 1,785-461 while claiming 16 national championships.
"I'm truly honored, and I'd like to thank President Fernandez and Gary Picone for putting their trust in me to lead this program," said Robbins. "Obviously, when you're in the Northwest and you're a young coach coming up you try to model things after Lewis-Clark State. It is one of the top programs not only in the Northwest but in the United States, and to be selected as the leader of the program is the highest honor I could ever achieve. I know it's a cliché, but it's definitely a dream come true."
Robbins led the Wolves to seven straight GNAC titles, and received seven conference Coach of the Year awards in the process. In 2006 and 2012, he was named the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association West Region Coach of the Year.
"We are indeed fortunate for someone as experienced and talented as Jeremiah Robbins to serve as LCSC head baseball coach," Fernandez said. "We look forward to Coach Robbins continuing the Warrior tradition of excellence and we welcome him and his family to Lewiston and Lewis-Clark State College."
Robbins' 2012 squad won the school's 12th consecutive conference title with a 29-3 record in the GNAC, and earned their fifth bid to the NCAA West regional tournament under Robbins' guidance. In 2006, his first season at the helm, the Wolves won the GNAC title and were the No. 1 seed and host of the NCAA Division II West Region Tournament.
Robbins said one of the things that interests him most about coaching at LCSC is the support the program receives from the community.
"We've been to Lewiston numerous times over the last seven years and all you see is LC baseball everywhere. There's truly a passion for the game there, and a passion to do it right."
A native of Winston, Ore., Robbins played baseball at Douglas High School before playing two seasons at College of the Redwoods and one at Western Oregon. He earned all-conference honors as a catcher with the Wolves in 1998 before suffering a career-ending injury.
Prior to coaching at Western Oregon he served two seasons as head coach at Douglas where his teams won back-to-back Far West League championships and he was honored with two league Coach of the Year titles.
Robbins, who earned a Bachelor's degree from Eastern Oregon University, will be joined in Lewiston by his wife, Mareena, and his sons, Luke and Cal.

We certainly think we are (better). Weve made some really great moves to get younger, get faster, get more explosive and get more physical, so I think some of the moves that weve made are certainly upgrades in what were trying to get accomplished offensively and defensively. Its a combination of free agency, other player acquisition time periods and obviously the draft.
Sounds good to me. Seems like they have a plan and are sticking to it.

More compact than many varieties, these hyacinths have shorter stems that are densely packed with colour-rich flowers and a powerful scent. Fantastic for spring displays in borders or containers indoors. Hyacinth flowers make lovely cut flowers too. You can't buy these bulbs from anywhere else! Height: 20cm (8"). Spread: 8cm (3").

Hyacinth 'Midnight Mystic'®
Hyacinthus orientalis
Rare and highly sought after, this is the first and original black hyacinth! Available again due to popular demand - you won't find this variety for sale anywhere else! Launched to a frenzy of interest at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2005, Hyacinth 'Midnight Mystic'® was soon completely sold out. A real breakthrough in breeding, Thompson & Morgan spent 16 years developing just three mother bulbs and the result is this stunning, unusual hardy black hyacinth with a heavenly scent. Try it in contemporary silver patio pots, or grow it in beds and borders. Either way, make sure it's on show for all to enjoy! Height: 20cm (8"). Spread: 8cm (3"). Bulb size: 15/16.
For the darkest black blooms, Hyacinth 'Midnight Mystic'® must be grown outdoors, as flowers will appear purple in colour when 'forced' for indoor cultivation.

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Sandman Caranx
|I Digg fishing alone, and as Juro said just as much as fishing with others, somehow one hook bigger and more fish when fishing alone, and you can shout and curse without looking like an idiot when loosing a fish !!!
Go back in this section to page seven and read the January Fly of The Month threads. I did a story there that you will enjoy. "Andros on a Budget" Pm me if you need info. Fresh Creek is a great middle point on the North Island if that's where you are staying.
I enjoy triping on my own. The first trip I made to the Bahamas was to Acklins the fall after 9/11 and I went solo. I stayed at a lodge but spent 3 days guided and 3 days fishing on my own. Those are great memories being out on flats all day long and not seeing another person. Its a wild setting and you feel small at times but its very rewarding.
I have been back to an out island every year since then but not on my on my own. Not because I don't want to but the costs are about half when you double up at most places.
I enjoy fishing alone as much as I enjoy fishing with others. There is a certain intensity about it.
In this case I would think the lodge would put you into a group (?) or if you are not going with a lodge you might consider another island where you can rent a car and explore without a heavy guide presence. Exuma would be out. Maybe Eleuthera or Grand Bahama for convenience?
As Josko alluded to, there are many adventurous types (like Josko himself) and we do impromptu trips to great locations like Acklins Island. If you are up for an adventure you can join in on one of these trips if you wish.
Sorry to hear your fishing partner is not able to accompany you any longer.
|Josko, thanks for response. You asked for my concerns - I really don't have any - just asking for comments that anyone may have based on their experiences. Personal safety - not a real concern. Ostracized/alone at a lodge - no problem - I am a sales rep and travel alone and can get along with most anyone. Sharing a skiff - alone with a guide sounds great. Happily married - not looking to hook up. Just want to have a great bonefish experience. Again, just wanting to hear from someone who has had this exeperience or someone like me who is considering a trip like this... Trav
I don't really understand what you're worried about. Personal safety - no reason for concern. Sharing a guided skiff with an unknown - well, maybe an issue. Look into single angler guided rates or, if you feel up to it, just ask to get dropped off in the morning and picked up in the p.m. Feeling ostracized/alone at a lodge - it's really up to you.
If you can let us know specifically what you're concerned about, it would provide something to go on. Ill be down there, alone, most of May.
BTW, you can do a lot better than a solo lodge trip on Andros. Let us know if you are interested in looking at alternatives.
Bahamas Trip - Alone
Hello, I am planning next years trip to Andros and will be required to go it alone. Has anyone ever taken a bonefish trip alone on Andros? Been there and never had any problems, but always traveled in a group. My fishing partner is no longer able to travel and other than a hosted trip, I do not know any other way other than a solo trip. I see many advantages with this proposed plan. I would be staying at a well known lodge. Other than excess costs, what should be the considerations? I have never had any calls of concern while there. Your thoughts and experiences appreciated. Thanks, Trav

By JB Clark/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – A new Lee County Agri-Center director could be named within the next month.
Lee County Administrator Sean Thompson said the Lee County Board of Supervisors has interviewed six candidates from a pool of 27 and will be taking some action in coming weeks.
The board also met with a representative of the citizens advisory board in a closed-door session Wednesday morning. The board made of residents was tasked with recommending a new director.
The Lee County Agri-Center has been without a director since November 2011 when then-director Julia Viator resigned, 18 months after taking over leadership of the center.
The center has been cash strapped and reportedly costs anywhere between $150,000 to $300,000 to operate a year while earning about $100,000 annually.
During the time without a director, a citizens committee has recommended the board make infrastructure improvements and rebrand the center to encompass more than agricultural events.
Supervisors have been wary of sinking more money into the struggling facility.

Shares of Plug Power (PLUG) were not what Isaac Newton had in mind when he may or may not have coined the phrase, "What goes up must come down." But what was true of the apple that may–or may not–have hit him on the head, is also true for Plug Power, one of the market's most-volatile stocks.
Yesterday, Plug Power gained 49% after its CEO said it had signed a large deal with a major auto maker. The detail everyone seemed to miss, however, was that the Plug Power's CEO Andy Marsh had made the same comment earlier this month during the company's conference call following it's earnings release.
As a result, Plug Power's shares are tumbling. They've dropped 19% to $6.87 at 2:20 p.m. today–and Plug Power's plunge has dragged FuelCell Energy (FCEL) down 15% to $2.48 and Ballard Power Systems (BLDP) down 19% to $4.38.
Out of curiosity, I checked to see how Plug Power performed in days following gains. In 60 trading days this, shares of Plug Power have gained 31 times, and those gains were followed by a loss 17 times, or 55% of the time. The average Plug Power loss this year has been 7%; the average loss following an up day jumps to 9%.

Whatever TV show or movie gives you your Patrick Dempsey fix, here are some stills to enjoy of the man who can mesmerize you with his eyes.

What's the Difference Between CETP Training and Certification
In an effort to make the CETP Program accessible to a greater number of industry employees, the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) purchased CETP from the National Propane Gas Association (NPGA) in 2002. The ongoing partnership between PERC and NPGA continues to provide the necessary resources to maintain, update, develop and widely distribute training and certification materials to those who work in our industry.
The easiest way to remember the CETP Training and Certification relationship is:
Certification Process
Candidates should also be aware that an active NPGA registered Proctor is required for all CETP exams. Candidates may re-take one or more certifications, but will be charged a regular exam fee for each attempt. Additionally, upon successful completion of prerequisite(s), certification exam(s) and required skills assessment(s), each candidate is issued an NPGA Certification Certificate, uniform patch, and wallet card.
CETP Certification requires Candidates to meet the following criteria:
Propane Resource Catalog
The Propane Resource Catalog includes a wide assortment of Safety and Training materials as well as all of the available CETP training materials and other safety and training items for purchase. To order your CETP Training materials from the catalog visit www.propanemarc.com or call customer service at 866-905-1075.
CETP Certification Exams
Once you've studied your CETP training materials it's time to prepare for the exam. Take a few minutes to review the following information prior to your exam.
CETP Skills Assesment
Learn more about CETP Skills Assesments.
Locate CETP Training Classes and NPGA Proctors by contacting the State Propane Gas Association(s) in your area of operation.

On May 10, 2006, Brian Alters delivered a lecture on "Evolution and Education" in the National Institute of Health's Evolution and Medicine lecture series, presented by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, the Office of Science Education, and the National Human Genome Research Institute. His lecture is now available on-line to view in RealPlayer format.
Sixty-seven national academies of science, representing countries from Albania to Zimbabwe, have endorsed the Interacademy Panel's new statement (PDF) on the teaching of evolution. Among the signatories are the United States National Academy of Sciences, the United Kingdom's Royal Society of London, the Royal Society of Canada, the Australian Academy of Science, and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which awards the Nobel Prizes in Physics and Chemistry and the Crafoord Prize.
South Carolina's Education Oversight Committee (EOC) approved the state science standard concerned with evolution on June 12, after delaying for seven months at the behest of committee member Senator Michael Fair (R-District 6), a well-known opponent of teaching evolution.
An Associated Press story in the Las Vegas Sun reports [Link broken] that the so-called "Truth in Science" initiative in Nevada has died. The initiative would have amended the Nevada constitution to require public schools to teach that "parts Of evolution are unproven theories" and various specific points disputed by "some" scientists.
"The Evolutionary War" is the theme of the summer 2006 issue of Stanford Medicine. Unsurprisingly, the magazine emphasizes evolution and medicine. "Darwin in Medical School" discusses the efforts, led by Randolph Nesse of the University of Michigan, to incorporate evolution in medical school curricula. "Evolution offers a broad framework on which you can organize and understand all kinds of facts and principles," Nesse comments.

Michael Hudgins, global real estate strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds, wants REIT investors to travel abroad in 2013. "Investors are more confident in global growth," he says, "and we could see an international return premium this year."
Hudgins says international REITs combine similar dividends to their U.S. counterparts with greater growth potential, partly because they're cheaper right now. "If you're buying REITs as part of your real estate allocation, you should buy U.S. as the core, and look at international as a higher-risk but higher-return-potential investment to pair with the U.S. holding."
Hudgins, who works with funds including the J.P. Morgan Realty Income (URTAX) and J.P. Morgan International Realty (JIRAX) funds, says he avoids mortgage REITs. "They can buy anything," he says. "We want investors to come to our asset class because they want commercial property returns – property with four walls."
He focuses on long-term cash-flow growth and looks for REITs in developed economies that tend to own high-quality properties. In Europe, that can mean finding value in REITs in Holland, which he says have underperformed, but also in peripheral countries like Italy, where you can still find high-quality properties despite broader fiscal problems.
Hudgins says sustainable long-term cash flow is typically correlated to GDP, and because of that he finds "significant value" in Asia right now, aside from Japan. "Given the underperformance of Asia and the greater growth prospects in places like Hong Kong and Singapore, they look very cheap." He says the main risks with international REIT investing can be macroeconomic, such as the recent Italian elections, Chinese residential property regulations and general currency risk.
Looking at sectors stateside, Hudgins sees value in class-B malls, suburban office space and industrial REITs. He expects REIT dividend yields to grow by between 3% and 4% over the next 5 years in the U.S. Currently the Realty Income fund's top holdings are Simon Property Group (SPG), HCP Inc. (HCP) and Ventas Inc. (VTR).

Focus on Funds
Cyprus Gold Sale is No Sign of Europe's Future: Commerzbank
News that Cyprus plans to sell a big chunk of its gold reserves in order to foot the bill for its portion of a bailout shouldn't be viewed a sign of things to come in other heavily indebted European countries, according to Commerzbank's strategists.
As Reuters reported yesterday, the country's plan to sell gold would be the first major disposal of the metal by a euro area central bank since France sold 17.4 tons in the first half of 2009.
The argument that Spain, Greece or others aren't going to engineer similar moves rests on how little it would help those countries' fiscal situations:
What is more, it was announced that Cyprus is requested to sell a major part of its 13.9 tons of gold reserves in order to pay its share of the bailout package. We do not expect other crisis-ridden eurozone countries to sell gold, for this would have little economic impact and the gold sales would only help reduce the sovereign debt of the country in question to a negligible extent. The psychological impact on the country would be unequivocally negative, on the other hand, because no gold reserves would then be available in the event that the country in question were to leave the eurozone. Yesterday's market reaction thus seems exaggerated in our opinion, and we expect to see considerably higher gold prices in the medium to long term.
The spot price of gold is up 0.4% this morning and SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and iShares Gold Trust (IAU) are gaining similarly Thursday. Market Vectors Gold Miners (GDX) is ahead by 0.2% and Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners (GDXJ) is off by 0.3%.


text: Have a female Lab pup, 9 months old. At 7 months we noticed a spot on her head, took her in to vet for scape at which time demodex was discovered. Was given a topical miticide to apply daily for a month, Goodwinol. At first the Goodwinol made the spot worse as hair came out, and then slightly better. During this time one other quarter sized spot popped up on shoulder, same treatment. After 8 weeks of nothing substaintial, vet prescribed Ivermectin to knock it out. We are 2 weeks into ivermectin so hard to say, I am sure it is working. Qustion I have relates to timing of spay, we always had plans to spay pup, once she was phsyically mature. Some research shows that a heat cycle will cause a flair up of mange. I dont want to spay her now, as she is being treated, at the same time I surely dont want her heat cycle to trigger a relapse assuming we get it under control. Again, localized case, 2 spots. Would the knowledgable dog folks on here, continue to treat and let her go into heat as planned, or get her spayed as soon as it is under control (assuming timing works that way)? In bewteen a rock and a hard place, thanks.

Ten Kickboxing Fights to Watch in February
- Written by Rian Scalia
We're back with another set of awesome fights to keep an eye on this month. February is when things are really starting to kick off, as there's just a ton of good events and fights across the board. For that reason, Instead of just separating this into a Part 1 and Part 2 series, I'm going to separate it into Kickboxing and Muay Thai. So here are ten kickboxing fights to keep an eye on this month.
February 2: Andrew Tate vs. David Radeff - Enfusion Live: Belgium - Zwevegem, Belgium
Andrew Tate is one of the top 85kg fighters in the world and looks to rebound from a loss here. It's an interesting match-up, as Radeff is certainly capable at 85kg but hasn't been very active lately, due to an injury layoff. This fight will also help us learn a lot more about the 85kg division, in relation to where these two stand. Tate has huge power and a huge knockout ratio, so don't blink.
February 2: Chang Hyun Lee vs. Li Ning - KHAN vs. Wu Lin Feng - Seoul, Korea
Chang Hyun Lee had his coming out party in our 2012 Fight of the Year against Genji Umeno at the K-1 WGP Final 16 and since then has been racking up wins. He's a very dynamic fighter and one of the most promising and exciting fighters out there right now. Li Ning is solid, but this should be another showcase for Lee.
February 16: Vincent Petitjean vs. Francis Javier Jorge - K-1 Event 4 - Troyes, France
This fight takes place at 86kg. Francis is the brother of Loren Javier Jorge. What's most interesting about this fight though, is Vincent Petitjean fighting under K-1 rules. He's one of France's top full contact fighters at 86kg, having beaten Andrew Tate at the end of 2011. He has a pretty good style for K-1 rules and a good showing and result here bring up some interesting things for him if he decides to pursue kickboxing.
February 22: Steve Moxon vs. Yohan Lidon - A1 - Melbourne, Australia
This is a great fight between two marquee names, and it takes place at 73.5kg. Moxon can get all the way down to 70kg while Lidon usually fights from 72.5-75kg. Moxon, however, actually also fights all the way up to 75kg despite his height. It's an interesting style match-up. Moxon's height disadvantage and dynamic boxing style, along with Lidon's more Muay Thai-oriented style make for an intriguing fight.
February 22: Chingiz Allazov vs. Alim Nabiev - Fight Club Octopus - Moscow, Russia
This is a battle of two super prospects. Alim Nabiev really made his name last year, going undefeated. He's still only 18 years old, while Allazov is only a few years older. Certainly Allazov has fought and defeated the better competition. Both fighters are highly skilled for their age and could be major players in the future.
February 23: Thomas Adamandopoulos vs. Alexander Arutyunyan - Supremacy II Triumph - Stockholm, Sweden
This fight has all the makings of an all out war. Adamandopoulos is the #6 ranked fighter on the LiverKick lightweight rankings, so this poses a big opportunity for Arutyunyan, who is a teammate of Sanny Dahlbeck. The reason why I think this could be a war is because both fighters tend to get wild and let it all hang out in the ring at times. Expect some non stop action in this fight.
February 23: Henri van Opstal vs. Yoshihiro Sato - Shootboxing 2013 act.1 - Tokyo, Japan
This is a big fight for Henri van Opstal, as he went undefeated against Japanese opposition last year in Japan. A win over Sato would be his biggest win to date and would certainly draw interest from big organizations. Sato has been on a bad losing skid lately, dropping three in a row, including a puzzling loss to Kenta at Krush.26 a week ago. Sato will need a win here to get his career back on track.
February 23: Vladimir Mineev vs. Revanho Blokland - Fight Nights: Battle at Moscow 10 - Moscow, Russia
Vladimir Mineev takes on another Dutch fighter here, although it's not as stiff of a test as Ali Cenik was in December. Mineev showed he can hang in that fight but also showed some flaws. He's still very young and I expect this to be a dominant performance from him as he continues to advance his career.
February 23: Warren Stevelmans vs. Bovy Sor Udomson - Shootboxing 2013 act.1 - Tokyo, Japan
Warren Stevelmans comes off a big win over Dzhabar Askerov on very short notice and looks to get another win under his belt before once again fighting at GLORY, on March 23. He should beat Bovy but this one could be a slugfest. Bovy won't lay down for Stevelmans and will definitely exchange.
February 23: Enriko Kehl vs. Ramal Aslanov - Fight Vision 3 - Baku, Azerbaijan
Enriko Kehl is still very young but is a fighter on the rise from 70-72.5kg. He's coming off his controversial loss to Dzhabar Askerov in December, which at the very least showed he can hang at 70kg.

These are questions that may have crossed your mind if you've had a serious illness or condition such as sleep apnea or cancer; or if you avoid mainstream medicine in favor of alternative treatments, reject medical treatment as a tenet of your religion or refuse treatment for a potentially life-threatening issue.
Lying on your life insurance application is one thing; it can void your policy. But once the ink dries on your life insurance policy, in most cases, you're covered under the terms of your contract, regardless of the health care decisions you make going forward.
"If you have your policy in place and you've been paying for your policy, the changes in health that you have going forward would not be material," says Jacki Goldstein, vice president and chief medical officer for MetLife in New York.
Dr. Robert Pokorski, chief medical strategist for The Hartford's Individual Life Insurance Division in Woodbury, Minn., agrees. "You will still be covered no matter what you do. Somebody may have high blood pressure and after a period of time stop taking their medicine. Even if you stop, your insurance continues. If your doctor recommends surgery for cancer, some people say no. We will still pay the claim when it occurs."
That said, you could endanger your policy before it's written based on the information you disclose -- or fail to disclose -- on your life insurance application.
"The only thing, generally, that can void a life insurance policy is fraud on the medical application," says Rick Nathanson, Seattle-based insurance expert and author of "Can You Afford to Grow Old?"
According to Pokorski, most standard life insurance policies include a two-year contestable period during which the insurance company can rescind a policy if you lied on your application through misrepresentation or fraud.
"Misrepresentation means that you omitted something that is pertinent to the risk, such as you had cancer and you didn't tell the insurance company," Pokorski says. "Fraud is more of a contractual attempt to defraud the company. If the death claim occurs within that two-year period, the company may choose to rescind the policy and not pay the claim."
Goldstein says life insurers realize there are gray areas when it comes to an applicant's medical history. "Some people know a little bit more about their history, and there are some answers that aren't quite black and white," she says. "As long as there was no intent to deceive, that policy is in place and what happens in the future does not matter. It would not affect that policy."
After you've used a life insurance calculator and then move forward with purchasing a policy, what's often overlooked or soon forgotten among the pages of legalese is that positive changes in your health can convince your insurance company to lower your premiums. The only catch: You must remember to request a policy review.
"If you took out a policy in the middle of a health situation where you did not qualify for a best rating, those ratings can always be reconsidered for a more favorable one in the future," says Goldstein.

Weird how I've been skipping this thread. Over the past year I've been digging around a bit, and coming up with a nice box of old (mostly '70s) books. A few things from the '80s also... JLI mostly, but nothing new.
Picked up Roots of the Swamp Thing book yesterday. Very nice! House of Secrets #92, plus the first 13 issues in a hard cover.

The Beatles have won countless awards including Grammys, World Music, Japan Gold Disc, American Music, Academy, ECHO and BRIT Awards.
RAIN is a show that initially began as a branch of Broadway's show, 'Beatlemania'. Beatlemania started in 1977 and ran till 1979, having 920 performances in total. It focused on the Beatles' life as a band and all the transformations they underwent. The show was a documentary that featured their music and lyrics. Lynda Obst, Bob Gill and Robert Rabinowitz wrote its book and the production even got nominated for a Tony Award in 1978. The performance was later transformed into a movie, 'Beatlemania: The Movie' and featured Tom Teeley, Ralph Castelli, David Leon and Mitch Weissman. In 1980, a tribute band by the name of 'The Cast of Beatlemania' was formed and had the Broadway's former artists as its members.
RAIN, formerly known as 'Reign', is a band that got together in 1970s. They played Beatles' songs at California's clubs. Not long after their inception, the group changed their name to 'RAIN'. In 1979, Dick Clark saw their talent and recruited them for his movie, 'Birth of the Beatles'. Until 1982, the band did not have any connection to Beatlemania, the Broadway show. However, after that the cast members started joining it and RAIN became officially affiliated to the show.
Artists who are or have been a part of the RAIN cast in the past are Chuck Coffey, Joey Curatolo, Ian B. Garcia and Robert Ruffing as Paul McCartney.

Currently, the members perform interchangeably for different shows. Almost all of them do the vocals while performing other specific roles. The members with their roles are Steve Landes (rhythm guitar, harmonica and piano), Joey Curatolo (lead guitar), Ralph Castelli (percussion and drums) and Tom Teeley (lead guitar, sitar and guitar synth). Others include Chris Smallwood (percussion and keyboard), Douglas Cox (percussion and drums), Jim Irizarry (piano, harmonica and rhythm guitar), Jimmy Pou (guitar synth and lead guitar) and Mac Ruffing (guitar, bass and piano). Chris McBurney is on drums and Ian B. Garcia is the guitarist. Mark Beyer does percussion and keyboard and Mark Lewis is the lead keyboardist, manager and the group's founder as well.
In 2010, RAIN ran more than three hundred times on Broadway and has stayed a successful show for many years. It is also the winner of a Drama Desk Award in the category of 'Outstanding Musical Revue'.

The Canadiens hold the No. 25 pick heading into Sunday's NHL draft in New Jersey (3 p.m., TSN, RDS) and GM Marc Bergevin says they are "sitting in the back of the bus."
But The Gazette's Pat Hickey reports that doesn't mean they can't find a player or two with the potential to drive the bus. The Canadiens have nine picks in the draft, including Nos. 34, 36 and 55 in the second round, and two more picks in the third round.
"You think you're getting a player who can help you, but after the top picks you never know," Bergevin said.
"Look at (Chicago defenceman) Duncan Keith, he was a second-round draft pick, and P.K. Subban went in the second round," Bergevin added, referring to two recent Norris Trophy winners. "And you have Brendan Gallagher, who we picked in the fifth round. Did we know he was going to play in the NHL? No. But our scouts saw something there.
"I was drafted in the third round and I played 20 years," Bergevin said. "Maybe I should have been a first-rounder."
Bergevin said all 30 NHL teams will say they're happy Sunday night, but the important thing is what they do after the draft.
"You can't draft a player and say: 'We'll see you in three years,' " Bergevin said. "You have to work with these players. That's why we hired Marty Lapointe and Patrice Brisebois to work with our younger players."
The Canadiens made it official on Friday, announcing they have used their second compliance buyout on Tomas Kaberle's contract. The first one was used on Scott Gomez before the start of the season.
The Canadiens also announced they have signed Michael Blunden to a one-year, two-way contract. Blunden was recalled from the American Hockey League's Hamilton Bulldogs on March 16 and played five games with the Canadiens, failing to register a point. The 26-year-old has played 95 NHL games and has four goals and four assists.
