The"Time" 100 list is curated by the magazine's editors, namely executive editor Radhika Jones. But they also got a variety of celebrities, politicians, and other luminaries to write about each person who made the list. Some of the pairings are spot-on, while others are pretty unexpected. A few standouts:
Stella McCartney on Rihanna
McCartney opens her piece with the quintessential famous-person-on-famous-person line, "I can't remember when Rihanna and I first met." She doesn't talk about Rihanna's fashion at all, which is odd seeing as Rihanna wears her pieces and looks great in them. (Rounding out Rihanna's entry is a photo of her by Terry Richardson, he of the "tampon tea" allegations and general reputation for grossness.)
Judd Apatow on Kristen Wiig
He writes that Wiig "never thought she was making a statement about women in comedy. Of course women in comedy have always been brilliant." While Apatow is an obvious choice to write about Wiig, another woman in comedy might've been nice. "The Atlantic'"s Richard Lawson wished Lena Dunham had made the list — maybe she should've written Wiig's piece. Then again, Wiig might very well be the one writing about her next year.
Charlize Theron on Samira Ibrahim
Ibrahim sued the Egyptian military for performing "virginity tests" on female detainees, and got them to ban the practice. She's an extremely influential woman, but Theron's piece is mostly boilerplate (and probably written by her publicist). Mona Eltahawy wasn't available?
Angelina Jolie on Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy
You didn't think they'd leave out Angelina Jolie, did you? Actually, having her write about Oscar-winning Saving Face director Obaid-Chinoy is a smart choice. This way she gets to write in her capacity as "actress and director," rather than actress-as-activist, like Theron.
Elizabeth Gilbert on Ann Patchett
Patchett has won a number of literary awards, but Gilbert went with a very "Eat Pray Love" story for this piece about Patchett's establishment of an independent bookstore in Nashville. It's a nice angle, but "Time" did miss an opportunity to highlight another literary writer here (like, for instance, Patchett's friend Elizabeth McCracken).
Sandra Fluke on Cecile Richards
It's kind of a surprise that Fluke herself isn't on the list. Nonetheless, she's a great choice to write about Planned Parenthood head Cecile Richards, who she says is "my advocate and that of every woman in America, as I learned firsthand when I was publicly disparaged for speaking out on an issue she has been working on every day for years."
Pink on Adele
"Who else has one name and sings," the "Time" editorial staff asked themselves. Pink turns out to be kind of funny: "Go to Mars right now and I'm pretty sure if there is life on that planet, they're playing Adele." I think she wrote this herself.
Valerie Plame Wilson on Claire Danes
This is my hands-down favorite. The presence of Danes on the list is a little surprising — "Homeland" is popular, but she's still hardly a megastar. Maybe they included her to give Valerie Plame a chance to talk about what being a female spy is really like. "No sequined gowns or casual gunplay," apparently. But after your cover is blown in a gigantic nationwide scandal, at least you can still write about TV for "Time."

Alternate name: Saguaro
Family: Cactaceae, Cactus view all from this family
Description This giant, columnar tree cactus, an icon of the American West, lives up to 250 years. Wild saguaro are found only in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona and Mexico (a very few in California).
Habit: succulent native perennial tree; with usually 2-10 stout, nearly erect, spiny branches; sometimes unbranched; taprooted.
Height: 10-50 ft (3-15 m) or more.
Trunk and branches: cylindrical, spiny, ribbed, 2-30 in (5-75 cm) diameter; the woody ribs persist after a plant's death.
Stem: spiny, cylindrical, ribbed.
Leaf: sharp spine, gray, 0.5-3 in (12-75 mm) long, in rows along ridges.
Flower: white funnel, yellow-gold center, 2.5-5 in (65-85 mm) wide, 3.5-5 in (85-125 mm) tall; usually held in ring at end of branch; opening two hours after sunset, closing in late afternoon.
Fruit: oval to cylindrical berry, spineless, green becoming red to red-purple, 2-3 in long, to 1.75 in (45 mm) diameter.
Flower April to June.
Flower May
Habitat Rocky or gravelly, non-saline soils; Sonoran desert scrub, desert foothills, south-facing slopes, gently sloping alluvial flats, bajadas, steep volcanic slopes; in conjunction with paloverde, mesquite, or creosote; 500-4600 ft (150-1400 m); also cultivated as an ornamental.
Range Southeastern California (rare), southwestern Arizona, and south into Mexico.
Discussion The latin name is more commonly spelled Carnegiea gigantea. Also known as saguaro, giant cactus, sahuaro, pitahaya. Native Americans made use of the entire cactus: they ate the fruit both fresh and dried and made it into preserves and beverages; the dried ribs of the saguaro provided wood for shelters, fences, and kindling. Giant Saguaro (pronounced "sah-WAH-ro"), the largest native cactus, is the state flower of Arizona and a symbol of desert landscapes. Well-adapted to its hot, dry climate, Giant Saguaro is leafless. Food is manufactured in the green stems, and rainwater is absorbed quickly by the shallow roots and stored in the succulent trunks and branches. The thick, spreading spines offer protection against animals. Gila woodpeckers and gilded flickers make round holes near the tops of branches for nests that are used afterwards by elf owls, cactus wrens, and other birds. Wildlife, especially white-winged doves, consume quantities of the seeds and fruits.
Comments Saguaro cacti are protected by law and require government tags for purchase or transport. These are very slow-growing plants that live up to 250 years. The fleshy fruit is edible.
Exposure Preference Sun.
Native Distribution In Arizona Yavapai & Mohave to Graham, Santa Cruz, Pine & Yuma Counties; local in adjacent California & Mexico
Site Preference Rocky foothills; canyons; washes; sandy or gravelly desert plains
Soil Preference Sandy or gravelly, well-drained soils.
Wildlife Value Flowers attract bees, bats and doves. Fruits attract many birds and mammals. Birds often nest in holes in the trunk.

Ebola hemorrhagic fever is a severe and often deadly illness that can occur in humans and primates (e.g. monkeys, gorillas).
Ebola hemorrhagic fever has made worldwide news because of its destructive potential.
Ebola virus infection; Viral hemorrhagic fever
Ebola hemorrhagic fever (Ebola fever) is caused by a virus belonging to the family called Filoviridae. Scientists have identified five types of Ebola virus. Four have been reported to cause disease in humans: Ebola-Zaire virus, Ebola-Sudan virus, Ebola-Ivory Coast virus, and Ebola-Bundibugyo. The human disease has so far been limited to parts of Africa.
The Reston type of Ebola virus has recently been found in the Philippines.
The disease can be passed to humans from infected animals and animal materials. Ebola can also be spread between humans by close contact with infected body fluids or through infected needles in the hospital.
During the incubation period, which can last about 1 week (rarely up to 2 weeks) after infection, symptoms include:
Late symptoms include:
There may be signs and symptoms of:
Tests used to diagnose Ebola fever include:
There is no known cure. Existing medicines that fight viruses (antivirals) do not work well against Ebola virus.
The patient is usually hospitalized and will most likely need intensive care. Supportive measures for shock include medications and fluids given through a vein.
Bleeding problems may require transfusions of platelets or fresh blood.
As many as 90% of patients die from the disease. Patients usually die from low blood pressure (shock) rather than from blood loss.
Survivors may have unusual problems, such as hair loss and sensory changes.
Call your health care provider if you have traveled to Africa (or if you know you have been exposed to Ebola fever) and you develop symptoms of the disorder. Early diagnosis and treatment may improve the chances of survival.
Avoid areas in which there are epidemics. Wear a gown, gloves, and mask around sick patients. These precautions will greatly decrease the risk of transmission.

Uhhh, I'm kind of glad, yet kind of disappointed.
VarietyNEW YORK -- The Sci Fi Channel is negotiating with Steven Spielberg, DreamWorks TV and the creative team who produced the 20-hour miniseries "Taken," a runaway success in December, for a fresh epic fantasy to run in 2004-05.
Untitled project, still in script development, would not be a sequel to "Taken," Sci Fi Channel prexy Bonnie Hammer said Monday at an upfront presentation to reporters.
She declined to volunteer any further details about the content of Spielberg's mini,but said the plan is for Sci Fi to commission 18 hours and schedule them in three separate six-episode bursts, one per quarter. "I look on it as a three-part franchise, similar to 'Lord of the Rings' and the 'Harry Potter' movies," she said.
Hammer also disclosed two other big-ticket miniseries in development as part of a record commitment to original shows that will result in a doubling of Sci Fi's programming budget through 2005. She wouldn't discuss dollar figures, but the network could spend more than $200 million on both original and acquired programming in 2003.
These are the two minis:
"6 Days 'Til Sunday" is a six-hour suspense thriller from Lions Gate Films about a man who discovers proof that foretells his grisly murder in six days. He has that much time to find out how to rewrite the future. Sci Fi will sked the mini over six consecutive nights. David Kirschner is executive producer.
"The Thing," the second remake of "The Thing from Another World" (1951), concerns a group of American scientists isolated in an outpost in Antarctica and their battle with a human-like alien that has survived the crash of its spaceship. This four-hour version, adapted by Gary L. Goldman, will follow more closely the John Carpenter 1982 edition, which focused on elaborate f/x and the paranoia of shape-shifting creatures that can take over the mind and body of a human being.
Series development at Sci Fi announced for the first time at the upfront include the following:
"Dead Lawyers," from DreamWorks TV, concerns attorneys who screwed clients during their working life and have to redeem themselves after death by coming back to earth and trying to help people unjustly convicted of a crime.
"The Divide," from Lions Gate TV, follows an oddball trio of crimefighters made up of a psychic latenight DJ, his dead twin sister who offers advice from beyond the grave and a local coroner. Stan Brooks is exec producer.
"Legion" concerns a young man who sells his soul to the devil and has to do battle with the forces of evil to "free himself from eternal damnation." Stephen Garrett and Jane Featherstone are exec producers; Whoopi Goldberg is a producer.
"Stargate: Atlantis" is a spinoff of the Sci Fi Channel's biggest series hit, "Stargate: SG-1," also produced by MGM TV.
Hammer said her bosses have signed off on Sci Fi's elaborate programming plans because the network is harvesting the best ratings in its history, coming off another record-breaking primetime quarter -- its second in a row. According to Sci Fi's researchers, the net has increased its ratings in each of the last 11 months, a claim no other web, broadcast or cable, can make.

Her book "Blue Horses Rush In" was awarded the Mountain and Plains Booksellers Association's 1998 Award for Poetry. She also has received the Storyteller of the Year Award from the Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers and an American Indian Leadership Award from the University of Kansas for her integral role in establishing that institution's graduate program in indigenous nations studies.
Tapahonso's work has been featured in numerous publications and in several documentary films. Her poems have been translated into German, Italian and French.
The event is part of the Althea Ward Clark Reading Series sponsored by the Program in Creative Writing.

Keith presented the argument on another thread that efforts to pass hate crime legislation protecting gays was more about raising money than it was about adopting legislation and that was the reason nothing was happening. In my response, I noted that the NRA, among others, routinely uses issues in the same manner.
At a time when most Americans seem to favor a reduction in the volume of political debate and an increase in overall civility. it seems that groups from the political extremes on both the left and the right are raising the volume even higher and even putting forward the specter of civil war.
How much of this is simply about fund raising? In a New York Times story based on ten internal memoranda that it received, the paper reports that conservatives are planning major attacks on any candidates put forward by the Obama administration to replace Souter even though they know that they cannot win and that the balance of the Court will not change with the appointment of another liberal to replace Souter's liberal vote. They write:
"While conservatives say they know they have little chance of defeating Mr. Obama's choice because Democrats control the Senate, they say they hope to mount a fight that could help refill depleted coffers and galvanize a movement demoralized by Republican electoral defeats."
How much of our political debate is fueled by just this type of concern? How legitimate do you believe it is to battle over everything simply to fuel partisan coffers and keep emotions high? Are the resulting debates ones that improve communication and strengthen democracy, or ones that simply polarize for narrow purposes and undermine the strength of our country? Is a scorched earth policy that destroys our country preferable to seeking middle grounds that are supported by the middle two thirds of our population?

Olympus Diagnostic Systems Group Announces Next Generation AU640 e-Class Analyzers
(June 27, 2002) Melville, NY - Olympus Diagnostic Systems Group today announced its newest line of advanced chemistry-immuno systems, the AU640 e-Class analyzers. Designed to optimize workflow within medium to high volume test labs, the new AU640 e-Class systems feature versatile performance with a 122-test menu that includes chemistry, specific proteins, DAT, TDM, thyroid and esoteric tests.
The new systems provide the versatility found within the current Olympus AU640 lineup including true random access testing, pediatric sampling and immediate STAT interrupt, 150 sample loading capacity and continuous sample rack feed with throughput of up to 800 tests per hour (1,200 with electrolytes). However, the e-Class systems utilize enhanced hardware and Windows NT software that enables labs to reduce operator training time with customized menus, icons and color-keyed graphics.
Olympus AU640e incorporates the same standardization common among all
other AU Series chemistry-immuno analyzers
standardization that's definable
through the use of the same reagents, calibrators, controls, consumables and parts;
the same results and reference ranges; and the same 122-test menu.
will be offering an upgrade program for current AU640 customers through its Customer
Service and Technical Support network.

Not what people were expecting.
I wonder what the net change will be in insured v. uninsured?
Those adult "children" that will be able to remain on their parents' health insurance, what if their parents cannot afford their new options under O-care?
If all the small businesses that used to provide health insurance, no longer feel they can afford the increases, all those employees will end up on the exchanges. Was that anticipated? I'm not sure it could have been, if the increased premiums for the small businesses were not anticipated.
The upper-end earners will be able to absorb the increases, but the middle and low ends will be in a bind, and it may be that the subsidies will not be enough to offset the increase in costs to these individuals.

His wooden easel is empty, ready and waiting for a new canvas. On the wall a painting of regenerating bush ferns is positioned for the artist to step back and assess. The canvases positioned around the room suggest that he was working on several more works at the same time.
The studio encapsulates the importance of structure, balance and proportion that run like a guiding premise across Williams's art in a range of media and time frames. Although the geometry within this composition is quite complex, Williams has managed to make the intricacy of the relationships look effortless.

Tesla Now Shipping 500+ Model S EVs Weekly

The company is also adding new Tesla Stores and Superchargers around the U.S.
Tesla Motors is greeting the new spring season with plenty of Model S-related news, including its achievement of more than 500
deliveries per week
"Over the past few months it's been fun to watch the company achieve new milestones," said George Blankenship, VP of Worldwide Sales and Ownership Experience at Tesla. "First it was the factory ramping up to full production in December. During the past three weeks we have averaged more than 500 Model S deliveries per week, and it looks like we'll be setting another record this week.
"With all these new cars on the road, it's fun to watch as Model S racks up the miles. Model S drivers have traveled more than 12 million miles since deliveries first began. That's a lot of CO2 emissions saved! And how are things going in California? Well, today we registered our 3,000th Model S in the Golden State. That pretty much says it all!"
Blankenship's post on Tesla's blog also mentioned a few other tidbits, such as the opening of new Tesla Stores in the Los Angeles area and Miami (as well as more service centers across North America and Europe throughout 2013); the addition of more Superchargers around the U.S. in places like the Pacific Northwest, Illinois, Texas, Florida, the Northeast and California, and the fact that the Model S is now officially a World Car.
Tesla has had some rough patches lately, such as
issues with a journalist from
The New York Times,
took a test drive this winter and reported
a horrific venture
. More specifically, he said that the Model S didn't have the range Tesla said it did, and ended up on a flatbed truck at the end of the trip. Musk and the NYT journalist (John Broder)
ended up feuding
over the matter.
But Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk is turning that luck around with predictions of
being profitable
in the first quarter and by vowing to
pay off its $465 million government loan
within five years.
However, one recent hiccup is a delay to production of
the Model X
Tesla had hoped to begin production of the vehicle this year, but those plans have been put off until
late 2014 (meaning deliveries will likely be pushed to 2015).

The National Gallery of Ireland has appointed Fionnuala Croke as its new Keeper and Head Curator. She succeeds Sergio Benedetti who retired from his post last October.
As Head Curator, Ms Croke, who takes up her post this month, will be responsible for curatorial matters, exhibitions and the Registrar's office.
Fionnuala Croke joined the National Gallery of Ireland in 1987 as a Research Fellow, a post financed by the Gallery's Research Fellowship Fund. She subsequently became Curator of French Paintings. Throughout the 1990's, in tandem with her curatorial duties, she was responsible for administrating virtually every exhibition hosted by the Gallery. In 2000, she was appointed Head of Exhibitions in anticipation of the opening of the Millennium Wing which today houses the Gallery's dedicated exhibition facility. She has personally curated a number of major exhibitions, more recently, Paintings from Poland: Symbolism to Modern Art (2007-08), and Samuel Beckett: A Passion for Paintings (2006).
Ms Croke's Masters Thesis, which she presented to University College Dublin in 1987, (later published in The Burlington magazine), threw new light on the eighteenth-century decoration of San Clemente Basilica in Rome. In 2002 she gained a first class honours MBA at the UCD Smurfit School of Business. In 2007, she secured a place at the prestigious Getty Museum Leadership Institute at the Getty Centre in Los Angeles. She has lectured in French painting at her alma mater, UCD, and is a member of a number of international committees, including the Steering Committee of the International Exhibitions Group.
Raymond Keaveney, Director of the National Gallery of Ireland, welcomed the new appointment which carries with it a number of key responsibilities. He added that as the Gallery enters a new period of redevelopment in terms of improved infrastructure and public access to the collection, it will be ever more important for the curators to continue to enhance and further promote the permanent collection through the display, research and collaboration with other institutions both nationally and internationally.

It's no surprise that the mainstream media are treating the latest policy moves by President Barack Obama as part of the strategic maneuvering supporting his reelection bid. Long ago, the big papers and TV stations stopped covering issues, choosing instead to cover what people said — with no further inquiry or explanation offered.
So the press response was predictable when President Obama told college students in North Carolina that he knew how crushing student debt has become — and how much worse it might get if Congress doesn't act to prevent new student loans from carrying 6.8-percent interest rates after July 1.
Obama said he and his wife had only paid off their last student loans eight years ago (in a stunningly fast 13 years post-law school), telling them he had "been in your shoes" and had a "mountain of debt" upon entering the workforce.
Rather than showing how desperate that means things are — even a man who becomes president struggles with student loans! — outlets as diverse as Fox News, the Washington Post, and BusinessWeek (among many others) painted that as pandering to young voters. After all, polling suggests young people may be angry enough at economic conditions to oppose the man they thronged to four years ago. (Have they heard about Mitt Romney yet, though?)
Perhaps it was pandering, to a degree. But Obama appears to actually want to bring public attention to this situation, which is a real crisis for actual Americans. Students are graduating saddled with tens of thousands of dollars in debt and zero job prospects. Millions of Americans — including the president, it appears — are trying to start families and advance their careers while paying off the education that was supposed to unlock new opportunities but has instead become a yoke to be borne. This while banks are still paying less than 0.25 percent on their loans from the Federal Reserve.
But despite all these outrageously juicy items, the president knows it's hard to get mainstream journalist-stenographers to talk to actual people, unless something newsworthy happens directly to them.
So Obama took a page from the Occupy movement last week and highlighted actual people himself, who then suddenly were of interest to — and interviewed by — journalists. He picked his targets carefully. He made speeches at three big college campuses (the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of Colorado at Boulder, and the University of Iowa), stopped off afterward to chat one-on-one with several students, and held a conference call with student journalists. He also appeared on Jimmy Fallon's late-night TV show to talk about the issue. (And, showing his awareness of the media's lack of interest, he said nothing at all about student debt when talking directly to the media's glitterati during the White House Correspondents' Association's annual gala dinner.)
Sure enough, personal contact with the president got students' own experiences with debt into the news in a way that never would have happened if the journalists had been left to their own devices. Locally, Portland protesters associated with OccupyMaine got good attention from their rally in Monument Square objecting to the fact that student-loan debt was passing $1 trillion last week (higher even than Americans' famously massive credit-card debt).
Maybe it's not politicians who are "out of touch" after all — but rather the media.
• And for those of you with concerns about the local press being out of touch, don't miss the May 7 conversation called "The Intersection of Business and Media" at Portland's Holiday Inn by the Bay from 10 am to noon. It's free; register at voxglobal.com/mainemedia/ to hear views from many of Maine's key thinkers about journalism.

Navigation 2.0: The Missing Features
I recently found myself driving a car in an unfamiliar city relying heavily on Google Navigation on my phone to get me from point A to point B (and back to point A again). From this two week experience I found some things in the Navigation experience I'd really love to have. Maybe other Navigation apps have this and I've just been googleblind.
Not Looking At The PhoneMost of the time I'm driving, I'm relying on Navigation to tell me what's going on. You're probably the same. Some simple options would make me a lot more comfortable. These also apply to when I'm on a motorbike and my phone is locked away in a pocket.
- Don't tell me compass directions: If I'm in a new city, in a new area telling me "Head East" is useless. Especially at night where I can't use the Sun to figure out which way East is.
- Give me a hint which lane I should eventually be in, "Travel three kilometers, eventually turning left."
- If I'm driving for thirty minutes on a highway, periodically remind me that you haven't crashed or suddenly run out of battery power. Even a little beep every 10 minutes (or % of a leg) would be nice. Maybe even tell me what % of battery is left.
- Along those lines, since Navigation knows how fast I'm going and how far I have to go, telling me "Continue for about 15 minutes." is more handy than "continue for 23 kilometers".
- On navigation start, tell me something useful; even "Route calculated" or "Estimated twenty minutes of travel time."
- If I'll have less than 10% battery life by the calculated arrival time, tell me this up front and give me the option to just read the list without actual navigation.
- It may annoy you, but I like to know when Navigation has changed its mind about where we're going. Telling me that a route has been recalculated is re-assuring.
Tell Me LessThere are some things where being quieter makes more sense:
- Cut me some slack in a parking lot. Unless you're going to tell me exactly how to get out of the parking lot, keep quiet until I'm close to an exit. Calculate some routes of the closest few exits and get ready to tell me "Turn left here." or "Turn right here.". Telling me to "Head North to 11th Ave South West going to 23rd Street East going East." is just distracting while I'm trying to navigate the maze of grocery carts and SUVs.
- Some cities have Main St. North, West, East, South or North East / North West / etc. If I'm on "Main St North West" turning onto "1st Street North West", don't say "Northwest" both times. In fact, unless I'm close to a boundary where it's important to know which cardinal direction of the street I'm on, simply saying "Turn left onto First Street." is fine.
Nicer TouchesAnd there are a few nice things I bet wouldn't be too hard.
- Traffic Lights. I'm sure most cities have a database of which intersections have traffic lights. Telling me "At the lights, turn left onto Third street." trumps "In six hundred and fifty meters turn left onto Third street.".
- Let me mark certain areas as "well known" areas and silence turn by turn directions if my destination is in that area unless I ask for them to be re-enabled.
- All major highways in Canada have numbered exits. They're numbered based on kilometer distance. If I'm at exit 35, and I'm going to exit 25, I know there's ten kilometers to go. When I get on a highway, let me know the exit number I'm going to be exiting on.
- If I'm going to a destination that has a Google Place (or whatever they're called now), and it seems that they'll be closed or closing within an hour of the calculated arrival, give me an option to call the place.
- Let me tell Navigation how comfortable I am with a given city or area. If I don't know it very well, give me notifications earlier and take me on possibly longer but easier to navigate routes.

Former U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq to speak on 'How Did We Get Here?' Oct. 16
Posted October 15, 2002; 03:39 p.m.
Scott Ritter, former chief U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq, will speak on campus Wednesday, Oct. 16. He will discuss "The Coming War with Iraq: How Did We Get Here?" at 4:30 p.m. in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
Ritter joined the United Nations as a member of the weapons inspection team in 1991 and participated in more than 30 inspection missions, including 14 as chief. In 1995, his team discovered missile guidance equipment that Iraq had brought from Russia. Ritter then led a U.N. team into Iraq in January 1998 to perform additional inspections, only to be blocked by Iraqi officials who accused Ritter and the U.N. team of spying.
He is a ballistic missile technology expert with more than a decade of experience in the military intelligence area of the U.S. armed forces, with assignments in the former Soviet Union and the Middle East. A former major in the U.S. Marines, Ritter also spent several months of the Gulf War serving under Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf with Marine Central Command headquarters in Saudi Arabia.
Ritter's experience in searching out weapons of mass destruction within Iraq is the basis for his book, "Endgame: Solving the Iraq Problem - Once and for All" (1999). He explores the shortcomings of American foreign policy in the Persian Gulf region and alternative approaches to handling the Iraqi crisis. He is filming a documentary in Iraq, "Endgame: Closing the File on Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction."
The lecture is presented by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Global Issues Forum, a student organization that seeks to broaden the understanding of global affairs on campus, and is co-sponsored by a number of other campus groups.

I have learned I need these dogs much more than they need me. Tim Bockmon
You misinterpreted my comment. That scheme is very similar to a trophy management scheme. I was aware from your post that you weren't talking about some private ranch instituting a program, but a public attempt to improve the "quality" of the deer by implementing some rules that closely resemble the rules one might find on a well managed ranch. (only four days of doe season? Is Morris Co a low deer population area?)
Any doctrine that weakens personal responsibility for judgment and for action helps create the attitudes that welcome and support the totalitarian state.

Following Apple's (AAPL) "Town Hall" event in Cupertino, where it unveiled the iPhone "5C," a lower-cost, lacquered polycarbonate model, and the "5S," it's new top-of-the-line model in three metal finishes, I got some hands-on time in the demo area at 4 Infinite Loop.
The offerings had to some extent been widely revealed by rumor sites, but the ultimate implications are not fully understood, and the devices themselves are more attractive up close than is apparent in the formal presentation, as is often the case with Apple events.
Rich Dougherty, the head of technology consultancy Envisioneering, was on hand. He opined that the support for 64-bit processing on the iPhone 5S, coupled with fingerprint recognition, is a very big deal.
"This will give them support for more advanced security features such as quadruple-DES" encryption, opined Dougherty. "That will help them quite a bit with applications for enterprise, healthcare, government."
"The Kaiser-Permante's and a lot of three-letter agencies will be using this," he added. "There's nothing like this out there," he said, arguing the iPhone 5S promises security beating what BlackBerry has traditionally offered, and well beyond the "KNOX" security platform Samsung Electronics offers.
Another interesting aspect of 5S is the standalone chip for tracking sensor data event when the phone is not actively in use. The "motion processor," called "M7," which is separate from the A7 microprocessor, will give Apple tons of data from users about how they want to use non-traditional devices such as fitness monitors. "In two weeks, they will start to get feedback from millions of consumers about what they want these things to be," Dougherty told me.
By "things," he meant future post-phone devices such as a smart watch, which Apple will offer next year, Dougherty thinks. He believes Apple has a chance to best Samsung, which unveiled last week the "Galaxy Gear" smartwatch. Dougherty tried out the Gear at Samsung's event in Berlin, and believes it is clumsy.
He also estimates the cost to make Gear is only $50, so that over time, it will fall in price to where Samsung is giving away the Gear for free as an incentive to move units of the Galaxy Note 3 phablet.
"Look, Apple have been looking at this for longer than anyone else," regarding smart watches, he says. "I can remember going to presentations about smart watches over at 3 Infinite Loop over a decade ago."
The gold model of the iPhone 5S, one observer standing next to me quipped, is "not Lexus keychain gold," but rather a subtler shade, pretty much the champaign gold that had been rumored. I liked most the "space gray" finish that replaces the traditional black finish. There's also a silver model. The size and weight and shape is otherwise identical to the iPhone 5.
I went through the process of registering my fingerprint with an iPhone 5S. It was relatively simple. A section in the Settings app instructs you to move your finger around the iPhone's home button. As you paw the button for about ten seconds at different angles, the screen gradually fills out a picture of your fingerprint. Up to five prints can be recorded, including multiple fingerprints of you, or prints of other people you allow to register. Once registered, you can quickly unlock the 5S by gently pressing the home button.
Dougherty expressed enthusiasm for the technology, and also mused that it will be hacked in short order, perhaps by researchers testing a wax cast of a print. Whether such a hack will affect the usefulness depends on how practical such a hack is in the real world. "Will they be able to sneak an impression of your finger while you're at the bar using silly putty?" he wondered.
The iPhone 5C is indeed very sturdy, as Apple promises. It feels solid to the touch, and the lacquered finish is attractive. This doesn't feel like a cheapie phone.
One disappointing element for the Street is the price. Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray, who was on hand and spoke with me, said the wholesale price of $550 for the 16-gig model is the same as the 4S was, and well above what he had been modeling. He was expecting to see an 8-gig model for $350 wholesale. The result, he tells me, is "Their units will be lower than I'd thought, but their margins will be higher."
Why isn't Apple being more aggressive on price? It's possible that with another event in Beijing tonight, at which Munster and others think Apple will announce a partnership with China Mobile, Apple didn't want to slash prices before it scores the world's biggest carrier and effectively give the store away.

Well, he could be like his brother and go to the playoffs every year and sacrifice Super Bowl titles. Or go to the playoffs every year like Matt Ryan and not win a game at all.
So we're just gonna overlook those two Super Bowl titles then.
Got it.
Toughest division in the league, though. That has to account for something. Not to mention that the NFC is far and away superior to the AFC. The other divisions of the NFC are typically weaker than the NFC East. Didn't Seattle make the playoffs a few seasons ago with a losing record lol? So sad. In the past four seasons, all four of the NFC East teams have won the division. A 9-7 record in the NFC is equivalent to a 12-4 record in the pitiful AFC. Imagine if the Giants were in the AFC. They'd be in the playoffs every single year.
The Giants went 1-3 against the AFC w/ their lone win over Cleveland in a game Cle led 17-7.
The Giants wouldn't have made the playoffs in the AFC East last year b/c they would never beat out NE and they wouldn't have won enough for a WC
their 2007 team wouldn't have made the playoffs in the AFC. The NFC just recently became the better conference.
hes a good qb, but not elite. elite qb's are consistent, the fact that every week ppl have to ask whether the good eli manning or bad eli manning is going to show up is all u need to know.
as u said, he has played well enough in the playoffs during the superbowl run, but i find it amazing how people just continue to forget that without that defense, the giants do not win any superbowls. eli manning in both superbowls did not carry that team to the win, he made just the right amount of plays, but did not need to do to much.
the first superbowl vs the pats, the giants offense led by eli manning had 3 pts going into the 4th qtr. this, against a patriot team that was avg a sick amount of ppg during the season. there is not 1 person who would have thought the giants could win the game period, let alone if they had 3 pts going into the 4th. thankfully, the giants defensive line was ****ing awesome that game, hitting brady all day long and keep the pats lethal offense in check. that was the only reason the giants were even in that game and eli manning after throwing 2 should be picks on the final drive, took advantage of the 3rd opp and delivered again though, scoring 17 pts vs the pats that season, most teams get obliterated the fact that the giants won that game with 17 pts was due to one of the better performances on defense in superbowl history considering the opponent. giants d line deserved mvp that game, not manning.
superbowl 2 vs the pats, he was a bit better, but they still scored only 19 pts offensivly ( the other 2 was from a safety). he was solid that game though, and although not great, did enough.
how anyone can watch his career play and say he is elite, i dont know how. he is good, but elite is brady, peyton, rodgers, not eli.
the afc used to be a lot better than the nfc, and it was not even close. even today, in the afc playoffs u got 2 teams who are arguably the best teams in the nfl in denver and the pats, and i believe the ravens are vastly underrated.
who in the nfc is very scary? they may have a few more average teams than the afc, but overall, the nfc is not even close to as strong against the afc as the afc was strong compared to the nfc recently.

Would anyone be interested if T&TH did a rendezvous?
We'd get to meet, spend time yakking and maybe some turkey educational sessions could be put together. Perhaps by staff, pros or just plain old hunter volunteers.
I would be much more likely to attend a function done outside of hunting time.

New Report Analyzes How Crypto Backdoors, Interference with Crypto, and Compelled Disclosure of Encryption Keys All Impact Free Expression and Privacy
Defending encryption is a human rights issue, according to a new Amnesty International report. The report calls on nation-states to promote the use of encryption tools as part of their international human rights obligations to protect the privacy of their populations.
Amnesty particularly notes the role of encryption in promoting free expression:
Imagine a new, disruptive company figured out a way to let hundreds of people watch a single purchased copy of a movie, even though the rightsholders who made that movie objected. The new company charged money for this service, and gave none of it back to the movie's creators. That's exactly the business model that a controversial project at the Web's premier open standards organization seeks to prevent.
Of course, it's also the business model of Netflix, circa 1997, not to mention every prior video rental service relying on the traditional principle that a copyright owner's control ended when they sold a copy of the work.
A prominent Vietnamese blogger and his assistant were sentenced to prison last week in Hanoi for their work on a popular web site, read by millions of Vietnamese, that reported on human rights and government corruption. The case raises alarms of a new wave of repression against independent media and free expression online in Vietnam.
Security researchers: we need your help!
The World Wide Web Consortium has taken the extraordinary, controversial step of standardizing DRM in the form of something called Encrypted Media Extensions, which will be part of HTML5. Because of laws like the DMCA and its international equivalents, security researchers who reveal flaws in HTML5-compliant browsers will face punishing legal jeopardy. We're worried that this means that critical bugs in the browsers billions of people rely upon will take longer to come to light and are more likely to be exploited in the wild.
Last summer, some of the world's most prominent security researchers told the US Copyright Office that the DMCA kept them from coming hforward with flaws they've discovered.

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Apple (AAPL) are up $26.50, or almost 6%, at $493.91, continuing pre-market gains, after the company this morning said that it sold 9 million of the new iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C in the first weekend of availability since the phones went on sale on Friday in the U.S. and elsewhere — though that presumably includes pre-sales of the 5C that began a week earlier.
The company also said in a filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission, that it sees results for the fiscal Q4 ending this month "near the high end of the previously provided range of $34 billion to $37 billion," and that it "expects gross margin to be near the high end of the previously provided range of 36% to 37%."
Cowen & Co.'s Tim Arcuri, reiterating an Outperform rating, and a $550 price target, writes that the number of announced downloads of iOS 7, 200 million, also tops the 100 million downloads of iOS 6 at this time last year. Arcuri thinks the 9 million number is higher than the buy side's expectation for 7 million to 8 million units, and "this result validates Apple's decision to maintain focus on profitability versus market share."
Note that several suppliers to Apple are getting a lift. Shares of wireless chip maker RF Micro Devices (RFMD) are UP 33 cents, or 6%, at $5.82, after Canaccord Genuity's Mike Walkley this morning reiterated a Buy rating, and a $7.50 price target, writing that the "teardown" analysis of the iPhone 5S published by iFixit on Friday showed "dollar content gains for RFMD in several SKUs" of the device, and the same for the iPhone 5C, including that "RFMD appears to have won the main antenna switch module (ASM) in the Australian version of the iPhone 5S and 5C smartphones with the 1495 8020 module."
Another regular supplier catching a bid is Cirrus Logic (CRUS), up $2.09, or over 9%, at $24.06.
Shares of BlackBerry (BBRY) are down 28 cents, or 3%, at $8.45, following a 17% drop on Friday afternoon, after the company announced preliminary results for the FYQ2 ended this month well below expectations, and said it will reduce its handset portfolio to focus on enterprise and "prosumers," and will cut 4,500 employees, as it takes a nearly $1 billion charge for unsold inventory.
The stock today got two downgrades, from RBC Capital's Mark Sue and Jefferies & Co.'s Peter Misek, but it also got two upgrades, from R.W. Baird's William Power and Credit Suisse's Kulbinder Garcha.
Misek, cutting his rating to Hold from Buy, and cutting his price target to $8 from $15, writes that a survey he conducted in the last three weeks "indicate substantial value for BBRY's MDM [mobile device management] business, but that the handset business will be sub-scale going forward, meaning units, ASPs, and margins will be under pressure and lead to a negative value for the handset business (vs. our prior $0 estimate)."
On the other hand, Baird's Power, raising his rating to Neutral from Underperform, and assigning an $8 price target, asks, "how much worse can it get?" and responds that "Foremost, we believe our operational concerns have largely played out. The stock is now more likely to be driven by M&A rumors and sum-of-the-parts arguments."
Shares of Oracle (ORCL) are up a penny at $34.06 after CEO Larry Ellison last night gave the opening keynote at the company's OpenWorld developer conference taking place in San Francisco this week. If you missed the keynote and would like to watch a replay, you can catch it on the Web site for OpenWorld.
Nomura Equity Research's Rick Sherlund this morning writes that Ellison focused on Oracle's forthcoming "12.1C" database, a so-called in-memory database.
Writes Sherlund, the announcement is a positive, and relative to SAP's (SAP) own in-memory database, Hana, "the advantage of Oracle is it is compatible with existing Oracle apps and infrastructure and Oracle claims to deliver over 100 times the performance over its traditional approach."

10/100/1000Base-T Port Aggregator Tap m. Zero Delay
Net Optics 10/100 to 10/100/1000 Dual Port Aggregator Taps provide ultra-efficient access to critical links. This pioneering technology enables any two devices to simultaneously monitor a full-duplex link - using only one NIC per device.
Typically, full-duplex monitoring with a network tap requires two NICs (or a dual channel NIC) one interface for each side of the tapped full-duplex connection. The Dual Port Aggregator Tap combines and regenerates these streams, sending all aggregated data out two separate passive monitoring ports. The best part of this innovation is the onboard memory to make sure traffic isn't dropped during bursts.
Buffering Prevents Lost Data
The Dual Port Aggregator Tap is designed to handle the combined traffic of a single full-duplex link. Normally, the traffic should be below the receiving capacity of the NIC, that is, less than 10,100 or 1000 Mbps.
When the traffic queue exceeds the capacity of the NIC, the Tap buffers the overflow of up to 512 megabytes per side of the full-duplex connection. For your convenience, the buffers clear automatically when the traffic volume falls below the receiving capacity of the NIC. For example, if there is a traffic burst and a tap connected to a 100 Mbps network port on a monitoring device is now receiving 140 Mbps of traffic, the Tap buffers data until the burst is over. The Tap then sends the buffered data to the monitoring device until the buffer is cleared.
Simple to Deploy
Net Optic Dual Port Aggregator Tap is a simple plug-and-play solution addressing the fact that many monitoring systems, including most software based solutions, only offer a single channel NIC, limiting full-duplex visibility. While adding a second NIC can help maintain data integrity and visibility, there is a trade-off in flexibility and ease-of-use. An operating system and NICs that enable binding are often required to achieve the same functionality and the Dual Port Aggregator Tap. In contrast, the Dual Port Aggregator Tap requires no additional components or configuration on the monitoring devices.
Better than Span Ports
In the past, span ports were occasionally used to aggregate tapped traffic. However, in addition to other shortcomings of span port monitoring, span ports support very limited buffering and can simply drop data during bursts. The generous buffers of the Dual Port Aggregator Tap prevent data loss in these conditions.
Zero Delay™ - A Net Optics Breakthrough
Highly sensitive network locations can improve monitoring performance via the innovative features of Net Optics Taps. If power is lost to other 10/100 Taps, the connected devices may introduce delays as they detect the power loss and try to re-establish their link.
Net Optics' pioneering design ensures that any loss of power to the Tap is transparent to the network, and does not affect the flow of traffic through the Tap eliminating packet delay and loss as potential security issues.
Security and Visibility
Without an IP address, monitoring devices are isolated from the network, dramatically reducing their exposure to attacks. However, the monitoring device connected to the Tap still sees all full-duplex traffic as if it were in-line, including Layer 1 and Layer 2 errors.
Simply Plug It In
Full-duplex monitoring to a single NIC is a snap with the Aggregator Tap. All network and monitoring cables necessary for plug-and-play deployment are included with the Tap. Everything you need, right out of the box.
For extra uptime protection, Net Optics Taps offer redundant power connections. Should the primary power source fail, the Tap automatically switches to the backup power source. Power LEDs on the front of the Tap indicate the current power source even if power is lost and reapplied, there is always zero delay to network traffic.
