As the Tom Petty cover band Free Fallin' played "Don't Come Around Here No More" in the background, Shannon Grady explained why he finally came back to Taste of Minnesota again after an eight-year absence. "I come for the music more than anything," said the 38-year-old Minneapolis resident, a fan of headliners Staind (Thursday night) and Judas Priest (Friday). "The bands are better this year." A boost in star power was the first big goal for the new owners of Taste of Minnesota, which continues today with fireworks and Elvis Costello.
Taste's new three-man ownership team, including a software businessman and an attorney, took the reins 10 months ago hoping to revive one of the Twin Cities' most time-honored/worn events -- which even they said was "stale" and "running on auto-pilot" after 26 years.
To reach their goals, though, they had to change the one attribute that has kept Taste the No. 1 entertainment fallback for Twin Citians stuck in town over the 4th of July: It's not free to get in anymore. Not exactly, anyway.
Many of the 15,000-plus people who followed the lingering aroma of funnel cake and the booming sounds of heavy metal to Harriet Island in St. Paul on Thursday and Friday had to pay a $10 fee at the gate. The new charge does not apply before 3 p.m., nor to anyone over 55 or under 12 -- and it comes with $10 worth of food/drink tickets.
"That'll only get you like, one sandwich, but you'd probably spend that anyway," said Robert Danaher, 25, of Hastings, who arrived early to avoid the $10 charge.
Willernie resident Hannah Wallenstein did not mind paying it, which was by far the most common reaction Thursday.
"I still look at it as a free concert," she said, arriving with two girls, ages 4 and 14 (one got in free, one cost the extra $10)..
After paying to enter, though, Taste '09 appears stubbornly unchanged.
While organizers nearly doubled their talent budget this year to land bigger-name headliners, they mostly stuck with the white-guy classic-rock mold (interpret "mold" either way), including Sunday's headliner, Bret Michaels.
The food -- despite talk of returning to the days when Taste hosted well-known local restaurants -- is more in line with county-fair fare, including corn dogs, mini-doughnuts and turkey legs, with very little available under $5. Among the 10 new vendors are a watermelon stand, a sub shop, a calzone-on-a-stick place and one selling drinks flavored like Jolly Rancher candies.
The uncanny mish-mash of merchandise booths includes Rosie B's Yarn Marionettes, Lena's Palm & Card Reading and -- for those looking for pewter dragon or Viking figurines (Mom?) -- Fantasy World.
And despite talk about lowering prices, beers are still between $5 and $8, once you count the $3 charge for an alcohol wristband. Organizers are expecting between 35,000 and 50,000 people each day.
New owners, new challenges
"There were a lot of things we wanted to accomplish but ran out of time," said new Taste co-owner Andy Faris, standing next to his golf cart not far from the 1-800-BASEMENT trailer.
To complicate things further for Faris and his partners, the economy's downturn forced several sponsors, including a casino that was a major backer, to pull out of Taste this year.
"It might not be the best year to be trying this," Faris said, "but then again it might be. People need cheap entertainment more than ever. We're certainly cheaper than a concert at the Xcel Energy Center."
A new sound system that Faris said cost twice what the old one did -- was a clear improvement. The new owners also paid for a JumboTron screen next to the main stage.
But the JumboTron is more of a necessity now, thanks to another add-on: a $50 Gold Circle seating area, which was half-empty on opening night while fans lined the barricades around it.
"I liked the first-come, first-served seating arrangement better," said Rebecca Trost, of Eden Prairie.
John Janis, 59, of St. Paul, was one of many Taste regulars who recognized the improved production value: "It sounds great. It makes me wish they had more concerts down here now."
There is less music overall at Taste, though. The second stage, now located under a giant tent, hosts only three bands a day. The new Taste-meisters hope to add more stages in the future, including one on neighboring Raspberry Island. They're pledging to offer a wider array of music, too.
"Next year, for sure," Faris said.

I always want to make working on my Mac easier, and I'm never disappointed when I find an application that does that. Fast Toggles isn't itself really an application, though, but a collection of small applications that each performs one small function each. These are all things that are often used but can take some digging to reach. Fast Toggles puts them in one place and makes them a lot easier to get at. Is Fast Toggles that much faster, though, or just a waste of time? (more…)

Former Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams is joining the latest national tour of the musical "Fela!"
Producers said Thursday the singer, who starred on the UPN sitcom "Half & Half," will be onstage when the tour opens at Sidney Harman Hall in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 29.
"Fela!" — a biography of Nigerian musician and political activist Fela Anikulapo Kuti — will then play 16 cities, including Miami, Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle and Nashville, Tenn. Williams will play Fela's African-American lover, Sandra Isadore.
Williams, part of Destiny's Child along with Kelly Rowland and Beyonce, is now a solo artist who has released the dance album "Unexpected" and the recent singles "On The Run" and "''Waiting On You." Jay-Z, Beyonce's husband, is one of the producers of "Fela!" which won three Tony Awards in 2010.
Williams has appeared on Broadway in "Aida," on tour with "The Color Purple," and in London starring in "Chicago."
"Fela!" had its world premiere off-Broadway in the summer of 2008, and opened on Broadway a year later, playing 34 previews and 463 regular performances. It returned to Broadway last summer after an international tour.

How to Set Up a Hand Spindle
To get started spinning your own fiber, you need a medium-weight hand spindle and 1⁄2 pound of medium (curded) roving — Corriedale, if possible. You also need 18 inches of commercial two-ply yarn. You use this yarn, called a leader, to connect the spindle and the fiber. You must attach the leader snugly to the spindle with a slipknot.
How hand spindles work
Hand spindles make yarn by twisting fiber into thread. These tools are as simple as a stick and a stone. By twisting the spindle (the stick), you add the twist to the fiber. The whorl (the stone) is there to add weight to the spindle. This extra weight makes the spindle twist longer, thus producing more thread.
You can use a hand spindle in two ways: as a drop spindle or as a supported spindle. You hold a drop spindle (a) in the air. The weight of the spindle moves it toward the ground, and the yarn forms as the fiber is drawn toward the spindle.
You place a supported spindle (b) on the ground. The yarn forms as the fiber is pulled up and away from the spindle.
Types of hand spindles
There are three main types of hand spindles: low whorl, mid-whorl, and high whorl.
Low whorl: You can use a low-whorl spindle (also called a bottom whorl) as a drop spindle, hanging in the air, or as a supported spindle, with the point of the spindle resting on a flat surface. Low-whorl spindles come in many sizes and spin both thick and thin yarn. They spin any type of fiber.
These spindles are found across the globe, and they're still in regular use in many countries, including Turkey and Peru, and on the Navajo Reservation. Spinners use low whorls to make yarn for Persian carpets, Navajo rugs, and fine silk shawls.
Mid-whorl: Mid-whorl spindles are usually small and lightweight. Used for spinning fine thread, they are perfect for spinning cotton, cashmere, and other soft fibers. Spinners in Indonesia commonly use mid-whorl spindles to create silk and cotton thread for weaving.
High whorl: Probably the most common spindle used in America, the high-whorl spindle (also known as a top whorl) dates back to early Egyptian times. You can use it either suspended or supported, to spin medium to fine fiber, and to spin a wide range of diameters.
For your first spindle, keep your options open. Choose one that can be used in a variety of ways—either drop or supported, high whorl or low whorl.
Setting up a hand spindle
Use two simple knots to attach the leader to the spindle: first, a slipknot and then, a half-hitch knot. First make the slipknot.
Take the two-ply yarn (a single strand will come apart as the spindle turns) and wrap it around your finger so that the long end crosses the short end.
Slip the yarn off your finger and hold it between your thumb and finger.
Pull the long end through the circle as a big loop.
Slip this big loop over the shaft of the spindle and slide it down to the whorl. Pull the loose end to make it fit snugly.
Wrap the long end of the leader around the bottom of the spindle several times.
Bring it back up the shaft and make a half-hitch knot.
Next, you make a half-hitch knot.
Some spindles have a hook at the end. If your spindle has one of these, you do not need to make a half-hitch knot. Instead, simply run the leader through the hook.
Make a loop with the loose end on top of the leader. Hold it between your fingers.
Turn it over so that the leader is now on top. Slip the loop over the top of the spindle shaft and pull it tight.
The spindle should be able to hang by the leader.

There are two types of teams in the NFL. Those with franchise quarterbacks, and those looking for franchise quarterbacks.
Since franchise quarterbacks rarely are available via free agency, the only place to find one is to draft him and hope he becomes one. That mindset has resulted in a whopping 13 teams — nearly half the league — starting quarterbacks with one or two years of NFL experience this season.
The decision of the Cardinals to go with rookie Ryan Lindley and the 49ers to sit Alex Smith for Colin Kaepernick expands by two a list that previously included Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill, Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton, Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden, Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, Jags quarterback Blaine Gabbert (who was placed on injured reserve Wednesday), Titans quarterback Jake Locker, Eagles quarterback Nick Foles, Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III, Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder, Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, and Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.
As more and more teams embrace the concept of adjusting offensive philosophies to suit the skills of quarterbacks who thrived at the college level, look for more teams to embrace young quarterbacks as they search for the rarest and most important commodity in football — the franchise quarterback.

Turkey's president said that 51 people are dead and 69 others were injured after a child detonated a suicide bomb at a wedding in southeastern Turkey Saturday night, NBC News reported.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the bomber at the wedding in the city of Gaziantep, was between 12 and 14 years old. In a statement issued earlier on Sunday, Erdogan said ISIS extremists were "the most likely perpetrator."
Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek called the attack "a massacre of unprecedented cruelty and barbarism." Prime Minister Binali Yildirim condemned the bombing.
The bombing comes as the country still reels from last month's failed coup attempt, which the government has blamed on U.S.-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen and his followers.

Connie Glueck's first triathlon win couldn't have come at a better place — just down the road from her house in Williamsburg.
"It was an awesome feeling crossing the finish line knowing that I was actually the first female," the 48-year-old Glueck said Monday following her victory in Sunday's inaugural Jamestown Sprint Triathlon at Anniversary Park.
Glueck won the women's overall title by a decisive margin with a time of 1 hour, 6 minutes and 17 seconds. Closest to her in the field of 85 women came Nicole Goerge, 39, of Ruckersville in 1:06:52.
On the morning of her scheduled 7:30 race, Glueck didn't know what to expect, especially with the stormy weather.
"It was thundering and lightning really bad when we got to the race site, so we had to sit in our cars until most of it passed," Glueck said of arriving with her husband, Mike.
The bad weather passed, but led to a couple of changes. The event, which also included an International-distance race, was delayed 30 minutes and race officials decided to cancel the swimming segment in the James River for safety reasons.
So instead of the swim, officials replaced it with an opening one-mile run to go with the other two regular events for the Sprint — a 20-kilometer bike and a 5K run — and for the International, a 40K bike and 10K run.
By the start of her race, Glueck said the rain had stopped but it was very humid and the roads were wet and slippery in places.
Besides topping all the women in the Sprint, what made it an extra-special day for Glueck was beating all but six of the 88 men competing.
After placing fifth in the opening mile run among the women, Glueck took charge in the bike, where she finished first in 35:35. She took a lead of about 90 seconds into the concluding 5K and held on without any problems, placing third in the run (21:23) for the victory.
"I felt like I had a pretty good bike ride and run but there is always room for improvement; that's what makes this sport so much fun," Glueck said.
This wasn't her first sprint triathlon before the home folks, just her best finish by far. She had competed in the past three Patriots' Sprint Triathlons in September, with her best finish being ninth overall in 2009. She was 22nd in 2010 and 13th last year.
Others from the Peninsula made a good showing in the Sprint. Avery Gillem, 15, of Williamsburg placed sixth overall (1:11:53); Heather Cooper, 36, of Carrollton came in seventh (1:13:12); and Kelly Fini, 22, of Williamsburg finished eighth. All three won their age groups along with Holly Northup, 43, of Newport News (1:19:32), Gay Reilly, 50, of Smithfield (1:22:40), and Candace Velez, 62, of Williamsburg (1:34:08).
Male age-group winners included Neil Huckstep, 17, of Williamsburg, 1:12:43; Jason Anderson, 38, of Seaford, 1:07:49; Bart Johnson, 55, of Newport News, 1:08:45, and Frank Saunders, 66, of Newport News, 1:25:07.
In the International race, which preceded the Sprint, Edith Nault of Poquoson and Daniel Ballin of Williamsburg headed the area standouts.
Nault, 24, finished second overall among the 68 women in 1:57:27 and Ballin, 41, placed third overall among the 199 men in 1:50:20.
Nault placed third in the opening run (6:49), second in the bike (1:02:36) and fifth in the 10K (46:00). Ballin was at his best on the bike, taking first in 57:17.
Bruce Pully, 62, of Gloucester Point placed first in his age group (2:05:53) for the men and Jami Callahan-Brill, 46, of Hampton was tops in the women's 45-49 division (2:26:34).
Chris Tuttle of Virginia Beach continued his impressive surge on the Tidewater Golfweek Amateur Tour on Saturday and Sunday by winning his third consecutive tournament.
This time the win came in The Players Championship, a double-points event, at the Brickshire Golf Club in Providence Forge.
Coming off victories at The Pines in Elizabeth City (N.C.) and at Cypress Creek, Tuttle topped the Players' field with a five-stroke win with rounds of 71-72. Closest to him came Jim Gallagher of Yorktown (75-73) and Tony Mauro of Virginia Beach (77-71).
Nick Crowe of Williamsburg took fifth place with rounds of 78-75.
In the last six seasons, Tuttle is the winningest player on the tour with 21 wins.
Wayne Ripley, a member of the Board of Directors for the Virginia Peninsula USBC Bowling Association, was appointed the new manager for the Virginia State USBC Bowling Association on June 30.
Ripley, who resides in Ordinary, has served with the state association as a youth director and was inducted into the VSUSBC Hall of Fame in 2009 for meritorious service as a youth coach.
In 2011, he received a Meritorious Service Award from the VPUSBC for his involvement in youth bowling for more than 20 years and as a longtime coach at Village Lanes in Gloucester.
He also has been active on a number of the local bowling association committees and as a center representative for Village Lanes.
Ripley has remained active as a bowler. In November, he teamed with Donald Shields to win the Open doubles in the inaugural VPUSBC Seniors' Championship Tournament at Langley Lanes.
Last July, he was a silver medalist in the senior scratch division for ages 55-64 at the Virginia Commonwealth Games.

(Reuters) - A U.S. judge and a Canadian judge agreed on Friday to a joint, simultaneous trial to decide how to divide $9 billion from the liquidation of Nortel Networks, overruling objections that the unusual arrangement would lead to "chaos."
Kevin Gross, a U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge in Wilmington, Delaware, told the parties on a conference call held jointly with a Canadian judge that the litigants should prepare for a trial late this year.
Administrators for former Nortel units in Europe had requested the judges send the matter to binding arbitration. They can appeal the ruling. Their lawyer, Derek Adler of Hughes Hubbard & Reed, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Gross and Ontario Superior Court Justice Geoffrey Morawetz in Toronto have been overseeing the liquidation of the former telecoms giant, which once had a market value of $250 billion and global operations that employed 93,000.
After Nortel filed in 2009 for protection from creditors in courts around the world, its units in the United States, Canada and Europe agreed to sell Nortel's operations as global businesses as a way to increase their value.
However, those units in different countries never tackled the complex question of how to split the money that was raised.
Until each Nortel unit knows how much money it has, it is nearly impossible to negotiate and settle the more than $30 billions of claims of their creditors. Four years after Nortel's collapse, tens of thousands of retirees, governments, suppliers and hedge funds are still waiting to be paid.
The U.S. and Canadian units wanted a public trial after three attempts to mediate the dispute failed. Their attorney told a hearing in Wilmington on Thursday that he wanted court scrutiny of the European units' claims to the $9 billion.
Adler, the lawyer for the European units, said a joint trial would lead to chaos if the judges in the Canada and the United States reached conflicting rulings with no appeals court to bind them both.
As if to make his point, the telecast that joined the Canadian and Delaware courtrooms on Thursday was marred by technical glitches that rendered portions of the Toronto proceedings inaudible in Wilmington. Adler questioned whether the shaky link-up would make it impossible to cross-examine witnesses, denying his clients due process.
Legal experts agreed there was little precedent for a contested joint trial like the one being contemplated in Nortel, which could run for weeks.
"I think there are logistical and practical issues that will make this very difficult," said Tom Salerno, a bankruptcy attorney with Squire Sanders & Dempsey in Phoenix. "I think it's going to become a little bit of a free-for-all."
Others were more optimistic and said that while a joint contested trial might unprecedented, it was more evolutionary than revolutionary.
"It might be the first but it's not like you're seeing pigs fly or seeing something totally whacko," said Robert Rasmussen, a professor at University of Southern California Law School.
He said the trend for 15 years has been toward this type of cooperation in courts and said he expected the courts would develop the protocols to handle the cases.
Gross said on Friday he was confident the judges were up to the task thanks in part to the close working relationship they had established in four years on the case.

Could anyone explain the meaning of the captioned sentence?
But I am afraid that is a very famous song.
Do you mean people like the song without knowing what it really means?
The short answer to that is "Yes". A lot of very popular song lyrics are completely meaningless.
In this case, however, the word "see" has two different meanings.
First, "I don't see..." means "I don't understand.."
Second, "what anyone can see..." means "what anyone can appreciate/admire/love.."
So, the whole thing means, "I don't understand what any other person can find to admire in anyone other than you". Or, in other words, "You are the only truly admirable/loveable person in the world"
I'm not a teacher of English, but I have spoken it for (almost) all of my life....
Remember - if you don't use correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing, anything you write will be incorrect.

Just seven months ago, West Coast swingman Jeremy McGovern was in the bad books after rocking up to pre-season training with too much blubber.
Now, the enigmatic 22-year-old is on track to become a future star of the AFL.
McGovern filled the role of unlikely hero on Saturday night as he willed West Coast to a thrilling three-point win over Gold Coast.
In a game of twists and turns, the Eagles looked home and hosed after Josh Kennedy's seventh goal gave them a 39-point lead six minutes into the third quarter.
The margin was still 36 points early in the final term.
Even with star midfielder Gary Ablett starting to hit his straps, Gold Coast looked to have dug themselves a hole too big to get out of, especially on enemy territory.
But this is where things became a little bit crazy.
In the space of 15 minutes, Gold Coast slammed through six unanswered goals to take the lead.
Now it was West Coast who appeared dead and buried.
With Elliot Yeo nursing a broken hand, Sam Butler cradling an injured finger and Nic Naitanui running out of gas, the Eagles needed a hero to step forward.
Normally, this role would be filled by Dean Cox.
But with the champion ruckman given the week off to rest his tired body, and Scott Selwood (foot), Darren Glass (retired) and Luke Shuey (ankle) also watching on helplessly from the sidelines, a fresh face was needed.
Enter McGovern.
The 195cm swingman had been energetic throughout the match, plucking a series of important marks and booting two goals.
And when the game was on the line in the final five minutes, it seemed like he was everywhere.
First, he found himself in the right place at the right time when he collected a clever poke from Naitanui to put the Eagles back in front.
Then, when the Suns launched wave after wave of attacks in the final four minutes, McGovern popped up for two crucial marks to help stem the tide.
McGovern, playing just his third AFL match after being snared by West Coast in the 2011 rookie draft, finished the match with 14 possessions, 10 marks and 3.3 to help lift the Eagles to the 15.13 (103) to 15.10 (100) win.
He was by no means West Coast's best player. That honour was shared by Kennedy and Naitanui.
But McGovern's display was a rare highlight in a season that had delivered very little for the Eagles.
"To go behind the play when he needed to and to kick the winning goal – I'll have to keep him in check this week," West Coast coach Adam Simpson said with a smile.
"Some players wait 10 years before they really want the ball in those situations.
"Other players want the ball in their hands and they want to impact the game from the very start of their career.
"He's the latter."
The result was a major blow to Gold Coast's finals hopes, with coach Guy McKenna ruing his team's limp performance for the first three quarters.
"We had 14 scoring shots to three-quarter time and 11 in the last. That certainly explains the game pretty simply," McKenna said.

Sebastian Larsson tucked home a late equaliser as Sunderland snatched a 2-2 draw in their Barclays Premier League opener at West Brom. The hosts had looked like making a winning start under new boss Alan Irvine after Saido Berahino struck twice following Lee Cattermole's superb fifth-minute goal at The Hawthorns.
Sunderland may feel justice was done after Berahino's first came from a controversial penalty on 42 minutes, but West Brom, after dominating play, will rue several wasted chances.
The match pitted together two sides looking to make a fresh start after narrowly avoiding relegation last season.
Irvine, who was paraded on the pitch to good applause prior to kick-off, fielded three of his eight new signings in former Sunderland man Craig Gardner, Andre Wisdom and Sebastien Pocognoli.
Record £10million buy Brown Ideye, not yet deemed match-fit, was left on the bench.
Sunderland gave a start to their headline summer signing Jack Rodwell and also gave a debut to Patrick van Aanholt.
At first it seemed West Brom had settled the better, enjoying some good early possession, but it was Sunderland who showed the first flash of brilliance through Cattermole.
The midfielder collected the ball 25 yards out from Jonas Olsson's headed clearance, steadied himself and unleashed a powerful shot into the top corner which Ben Foster could only get fingertips to.
West Brom were not rocked by the setback and soon settled back into a rhythm which could bode well for the season.
They pieced together some slick moves and utilised the holding-up ability of Victor Anichebe well, although they were initially restricted to long-range efforts.
Captain Chris Brunt went close with a good effort that curled narrowly wide and Pocognoli hit another crisp strike, although Vito Mannone was unconcerned as it drifted wide.
Mannone looked more worried when Berahino found space, but lashed into the side-netting.
Sunderland could have doubled their lead against the run of play when Larsson floated a free-kick into the box, but Valentin Roberge headed a clear-cut chance wide.
The visitors were made to pay for the miss, although they could have a legitimate gripe over the penalty after Anichebe appeared to go down at the slightest hint of a shirt-pull from Roberge.
Referee Neil Swarbrick blew instantly, but stoked the tension by taking a few moments to indicate his decision.
When given the go-ahead, Berahino made no mistake with a well-taken spot-kick.
Sunderland lost their composure in the minutes that followed and Berahino benefited from some sloppy defending on a strong run, but Mannone got himself behind his shot.
The visitors survived a scare early in the second half as Mannone flapped and Craig Dawson thought he had forced the ball over the line, but the flag was raised for a foul on the goalkeeper.
Sunderland then started to show some spirit and created chances for Connor Wickham, who volleyed wide, and Steven Fletcher, whose header was ruled out for offside.
It proved a short-lived flurry from Sunderland and the Baggies claimed the lead after 74 minutes.
Mannone saved well from Graham Dorrans' long-range strike, but the ball stayed in play and Gardner was the quickest to react, quickly whipping in high cross to the far post.
Sunderland were still back-tracking and Berahino got ahead of Van Aanholt to tap home his second, to the clear frustration of Mannone, who looked angry with the defence.
Yet the visitors were not done and produced a move almost out of keeping with much of their earlier play five minutes from time.
Jordi Gomez found Van Aanholt down the left and his cut-back was deftly diverted past Foster by Larsson from six yards out.

The top United Nations human rights official today condemned the assassination of Tunisian activist Chokri Belaid and urged authorities to provide better protection to people who are political targets.
I was extremely saddened to hear the shocking news of Mr. Belaid`s murder, " High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said in a news release.
He was a prominent defender of human rights and democratic values, and a firm opponent of political violence, which just yesterday he publicly condemned as "a blow against the democratic process in the country`. "
Mr. Belaid was the Secretary General of the Democratic Patriots Movement and one of the leaders of the Popular Front in Tunisia. He was shot Wednesday morning while leaving his home in the capital, Tunis.
According to media reports, the killing sparked protests around the country, with police firing tear gas to disperse angry crowds. Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki has condemned the killing and is cutting short an overseas visit.
In her statement, Ms. Pillay warned that the assassination comes in an environment of increasing political violence, " which includes attacks on political parties` premises and gatherings, and other political killings.
She called on the authorities to take serious measures to investigate Mr. Belaid`s killing and other apparently politically-motivated crimes, as well as to provide better protection to people who, like Mr. Belaid, have received threats and are clearly at risk.
It was the people of Tunisia that inspired the region in 2011 when they stood up to demand democracy and freedom, leading to the removal of the long-standing regime of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. Their actions sparked a wave of popular uprisings across North Africa and the Middle East, known as the Arab Spring, which also led to the toppling of regimes in Egypt, Libya and Yemen.
I strongly condemn such acts, which " as Mr. Belaid himself said so clearly " threatens to seriously undermine the democratic transition in post-revolution Tunisia, " Ms. Pillay said.
I call on all actors in government and civil society to unite strongly behind Mr. Belaid`s campaign against political violence. That would, at least, provide him with a fitting memorial for his invaluable work as a human rights defender and opponent of violence. "

Campaign over ice sheets tests Aeolus technology
In a recent airborne campaign, carried out by the German Aerospace Center DLR, the sophisticated lidar technology due to be employed on ESA's Aeolus mission was tested by measuring the strong icy winds that blow off the Greenland and Iceland ice fields.
ESA's Earth Explorer ADM-Aeolus will be the first space mission to directly measure wind profiles on a global scale. By doing so, the mission will improve the accuracy of weather forecasts and advance our understanding of atmospheric dynamics and processes relevant to climate variability – therefore, contributing to our understanding of the Earth system.
Probing Earth's atmosphere from space to measure wind profiles involves very challenging and innovative technology that utilises a phenomenon called 'light scattering' and the Doppler effect. Aeolus will carry a lidar instrument called 'Aladin', short for Atmospheric Laser Doppler Instrument, which transmits and receives light.
It works by emitting short powerful bursts of light from a laser and as the light pulse travels through the atmosphere, it interacts with molecules of gas, particles of dust and droplets of water. Since some of the light is 'backscattered' to the instrument, it is possible to work out the distance of the 'scatterers' by differencing the time between sending and receiving the light. The Doppler effect is then used to measure the frequency shift of the returned light to derive the velocity of the wind in the direction of the light pulse.
Before this advanced instrument is ready for operation in space, it has to be thoroughly tested. The testing programme includes the development and operation of an instrument similar to Aladin, but works from an aircraft instead of a satellite. Accordingly, the Aladin Airborne Demonstrator, referred to as the 'A2D', was developed and has been used in a series of test campaigns carried out by DLR on behalf of ESA. The campaigns also involved a large suite of complementary instruments to validate the wind measurements taken by the A2D. The last campaign in the current series recently took place just south of the Arctic Circle.
The two-week campaign included six flights over Iceland, Greenland and the northern Atlantic Ocean in-between. This northerly location, where the weather can be severe, is perfect for meteorological experiments. Moreover, the glacier on Iceland and the huge Greenland ice sheet are key in generating localised strong winds – ideal for testing the calibration and data processing for the Aeolus mission.
Two different lidar instruments – the A2D and a wind lidar operating at a different wavelength – were installed on DLR's Falcon 20E aircraft. Both instruments worked well throughout the campaign and some excellent measurements of strong 'katabatic' winds blowing off the Greenland plateau and over the North Atlantic Ocean were made. Katabatic winds are narrow, strong winds that carry cold air down the steep mountain sides and out over the ocean causing large ocean waves.
"The weather conditions were excellent and we could obtain measurements of high wind speeds in the jet stream, as well as strong katabatic winds flowing down the Greenland ice sheet. Both wind lidar instruments performed very well and we could achieve the ambitious objectives for the campaign. It was the first time that the Aladin calibration strategy has been tested, which is a crucial component of the mission. The team was very excited by the first quick look at the data," said Oliver Reitebuch from DLR.
The results of the campaign are currently being analysed, but are expected to mark a significant milestone in furthering ESA's wind mission.

MCLEAN, Va., March 12 (UPI) -- The U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency is modernizing the military's joint command and control information system and tapped Northrop Grumman for the task.
The contract to create a system that increases C2 flexibility, enhance cybersecurity capabilities and reduce costs was given under the Encore II contracting vehicle. The base-year task order for Global Command and Control System-Joint engineering support services is worth $58 million.
If all options were exercised over a 54-month period, the total value would be $211 million.
Northrop Grumman's approach integrates cross-domain C2 and intelligence systems to deliver a more affordable joint C2 capability," said Pat Camacho, vice president of integrated command, control, communications and intelligence systems for Northrop Grumman Information Systems.
"In addition, the use of our CMMI Level 5 agile development and system integration processes will provide flexibility for responding to emerging warfighter needs."
GCCS-J provides worldwide connectivity with all levels of command and incorporates systems for situational awareness, support for intelligence, force planning, readiness assessment, and deployment applications that battlefield commanders require to effectively plan and execute joint military operations.

For the Police to act inconsistently with their own governing legislation once is bad. For them to do it twice is even badder
So, that's one of life's little mysteries solved, then.
What mystery, you ask? Is it whether a large NZ company could ever run a promotion involving the All Blacks that is so stupid that even the normally blind-worshipping-of-our-national-team-to-the-point-of-mania general public revolts against it? Well, that's not exactly what I mean (although it's nice to have had that issue cleared up, too...).
Rather, Parliament has been sitting under urgency this week to shuffle through the Government's legislative programme and get some stuff onto the statute books prior to the Rugby World Cup taking over our every living, breathing moment. Most of this has involved the "ordinary", non-threatening sort of urgency where the sitting hours of the House simply get extended to allow more time for the legislative debates and votes to take place. (I note, though, that this invocation of urgency has eaten up a Members Day - which might may make Deborah Coddington's theory raised here a little more likely, as now there are only 2 more left before Parliament calls it quits for the election.)
However, as first pointed out by I/S, and expanded upon here, included in the Government's reasons for taking urgency was "the introduction and passing of a Government bill". No mention was made of the name of this mystery Bill, or what it might relate to - simply that something would appear before the House and get passed into law quick-smart.
On Thursday, that "something" was revealed to be the Policing (Storage of Youth Identifying Particulars) Amendment Bill. The what, you say? Well, basically it is a legislative fix-it to cover over a mistake made back when the original Policing Act 2008 got passed. That legislation authorises the Police to take and retain the "identifying particulars" (photos, fingerprints and the like) of certain people arrested and dealt with under the criminal justice system. Unfortunately, the legislative authorisation didn't stretch to keeping on file the identifying particulars of any juvenile offenders dealt with in the Youth Court alone - only those few whose cases are serious enough to get transferred over to the District Court for sentencing.
This was, it appears, a complete oversight. The Police had had the power to retain the identifying details of juvenile offenders dealt with in the Youth Courts prior to 2008, and apparently the intended policy was that that they should continue to have such power after 2008. But the new legislation was written in a way that did not give them that power. And without express legislative authorisation, the keeping of such details on file is unlawful.
Not that anyone in the Police or Parliament noticed this at the time (or the mistake probably would have been fixed there and then). So the Police quite happily kept on keeping the identifying particulars of juvenile offenders under the assumption they could still do what they had been doing previously. And, what is more, where evidence was collected from a crime scene (say, fingerprints from a burglary), those retained identifying particulars were still used to identify and help convict offenders.
At least, this happened up until late 2010, when someone obviously realised that the mistake had been made. Which creates a rather large problem. Because, by that time the Police had been acting in an unlawful manner for over two years - and a good few people would have been convicted as the result of information that was unlawfully held by the Police.
Hence, the quick legislative fix-it this week. It does two things. First, it gives the Police the authority to retain the identifying particulars of juvenile offenders dealt with in the Youth Court - i.e. the power the Police were meant to have back in 2008. Second, it retrospectively applies that legislative authorisation back to the entering into force of the 2008 law. In other words, Parliament now says the Police always could do what they did, even though the law at the time didn't say they could.
This latter point - which I'll come back to - is important, because it takes away any chance for someone convicted using the (at the time) unlawfully held information to appeal their conviction; as well as removing the ability of those whose identifying particulars were unlawfully retained to try and seek compensation. It's also why the Bill was kept so hush-hush right up until its introduction to the House. The fear was that if the mistake became known, cases would be filed before the legislative change could be made. And while this legislative change would kill those cases off - once Parliament says that retaining the information was lawful, then it was lawful, and so there's no basis for a case - it would be a very bad look for Parliament to legislate in a way that defeats an existing litigant's attempt to vindicate her or his rights before the courts. But if people don't know of the mistake, and thus haven't sought to vindicate their rights in court before it is fixed, then that particular constitutional problem is avoided - albeit in a rather sneaky and questionable fashion.
All of which is very neat and tidy. From a pragmatic perspective, there's not all that much to quibble with. The law is being brought into line with what it was always meant to say, while the potential unintended consequences of the original mistake are nullified. Sure, the Police may have been acting in a technically unlawful way for a while (and technically unlawfully held information may have been used to convict some people), but once that technical unlawfulness has been cured then isn't this a case of no harm, no foul?
Probably. But here are some things to think about. First of all, this didn't turn out to be the uncontroversial, purely technical fix-up that it was sold as. Both the Maori Party and the Green Party (along with Chris Carter) voted against the change, on the basis that they disagreed with its substance (at least in part). They may have been late coming to this particular issue, and perhaps there's a measure of grandstanding to their positions, but nevertheless there's still reason to worry about a legislative change getting on to the statute book in a bare few hours when more than 10% of MPs think there is a problem with it. Particularly when, at least in the case of the Green Party, they only got to see the legislation the night before it appeared in the House. How exactly are they meant to function as legislators representing the people of New Zealand under those conditions?
Second, this isn't the first time that Parliament has felt the need to whip through a quick law change to fix a technical stuff up with the Policing Act 2008. Back in 2009, another fix-it Bill was passed in extra quick time to deem the oaths taken by a bunch of newly sworn officers to be have been properly administered. Again, swiftly acting to put this problem right can be defended - having the actions of some police officers called into question simply because the wrong person got them to swear an oath is a bit silly. But still - we're now at strike two in respect of the Police's own operating statute.
What is more, in 2009 Parliament also passed in a single day the Parole (Extended Supervision Orders) Amendment Act, designed to close alleged "loopholes" in the legislation allowing the monitoring of some sex-offenders after their release from prison. Sure, there also was claimed to be good reason for this fix as well, but remember that the Attorney-General notified Parliament that, in his opinion, the legislation was inconsistent with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990. So it's not as if this was a completely uncontroversial, technical alteration.
All of which begins to form a pattern that is a bit less forgivable. Yes, MPs are human, and they rely on officials and draftspeople to advise them on the nuances of the legislation that they are considering. But wouldn't it perhaps be a bit better for parliamentarians to get the law they are making right the first time round, when it gets full debate and public submissions, rather than to urgently patch it up without any real notice or discussion after problems are identified? Or, to put it another way, is a modicum of legislative competence too much to ask for from our MPs?
After all, if an ordinary citizen makes a mistake regarding the law, they have to live with the consequences of that mistake. (That's the point of my fancy latin title to this post - you can't argue you didn't know the law says what it actually says, so therefore it shouldn't apply to you.) So why is it that our lawmakers get to make repeated mistakes when they are writing the law - then scrub those mistakes out of existence by retrospectively changing the law when the consequences of their mistake are unpalatable to them? Isn't there the hint of a double standard at play here: "look - the law is a very complicated thing and you need to understand we're going to make the odd slip up when making it, which we need to go back and fix ... but there's no excuse if you make a slip up when trying to follow the law we make!"
Third, Parliament's retrospective validation of the Police's actions in keeping and using the identifying particulars of juveniles when they shouldn't have creates a pretty weird situation where this is simultaneously both lawful and unlawful. The easiest way to explain this is by considering the following three time periods.
- From the entering into force of the Policing Act 2008 to the discovery that the identifying particulars could not be lawfully retained (apparently in October last year), when keeping and using this information was assumed to be lawful (but actually was unlawful).
- From the discovery that the identifying particulars could not be lawfully retained to today's passage of the Policing (Storage of Youth Identifying Particulars) Amendment Bill into law, when keeping and using this information was assumed to be unlawful (and actually wasn't lawful).
- From the passage of the Policing (Storage of Youth Identifying Particulars) Amendment Bill into law, when keeping and using this information is (and always was) lawful.
During time (1), the identifying particulars were held and used by the Police - and no doubt resulted in some convictions of those identified solely using that information. This use of the information was believed to be lawful, but in fact wasn't and - had that mistake been discovered - the convictions could have been challenged on that basis. But the mistake wasn't widely noticed, and so no challenges were made. Then, at some point during time (2), the Police destroyed the information that they were holding as there was no legal basis for them to possess it. Thus, that information could not then (and cannot in the future) be used as evidence, because it was unlawful for the Police to have it. However, at time (3), that information is said to be (and always was) lawfully held. Thus, any convictions obtained using it during time (1) are legally secure (despite the fact they could have been challenged as unlawfully obtained at the time). And the destruction of the information at time (2) did not actually have to happen, because Parliament now says it actually was lawful for it to be retained at that point in time.
Consequently, the relevant information exists in something of a legal quantum state, as potentially both lawfully and unlawfully retained. Furthermore, the result of this duality means the information has different meaning depending on when a person commits a crime. If the information was used to catch and help convict a person during time (1), then that use is lawful (even though it was not lawful then). However, the information cannot be used from time (2) onwards as the Police no longer have it, because it was unlawful for them to retain it (even though it is now said that they could lawfully do so). Consequently, the same information as could convict someone at time (1) cannot convict anyone after time (2), even though the legal status of that information is now said to have been the same at both times.
If your head is hurting after all that, then welcome to wild and crazy world of the law, where just about anything goes. All of which puts me in mind of a text I've had occasion to quote from before:
'Who are you?' said the Caterpillar.
This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, 'I - I hardly know, sir, just at present - at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'
'What do you mean by that?' said the Caterpillar sternly. 'Explain yourself!'
'I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, sir' said Alice, 'because I'm not myself, you see.'
'I don't see,' said the Caterpillar.
'I'm afraid I can't put it more clearly,' Alice replied very politely, 'for I can't understand it myself to begin with; and being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing.'
'It isn't,' said the Caterpillar.
'Well, perhaps you haven't found it so yet,' said Alice; 'but when you have to turn into a chrysalis - you will some day, you know - and then after that into a butterfly, I should think you'll feel it a little queer, won't you?'
Not a bit,' said the Caterpillar.
'Well, perhaps your feelings may be different,' said Alice; 'all I know is, it would feel very queer to me.'
'You!' said the Caterpillar contemptuously. 'Who are you?'

Oslo to Eidfjord
Yo from a pda getting free wifi. Pretty advanced considering we slept
in a shed behind a school last night.
Oslo was a great city to be the most stationary I've been in 2 months:
4 days. Saw a natural history museum exhibit about gay animals. rode
cityshare bikes to the viking ship and thor hyerdhal museums, a vegan
buffet, a sculpture garden,etc, etc.
Epic train/bus trip to eidfjord yesterday. This is a small town with
1000ft cliffs on 2 sides and a fjord on a third. Unfortunately it is
cold and rainy.
Met some of the race directors tonight, were impressed we slept out;
they were apologetic, but we explained that we didn't care!
Now we are comfortably chillin in the local community center/gym with
kitchen access and even a tv. Very nice indeed. Less than 60 hours to
race time! Definitely getting nervous.

Broncos a classic pick-your-poison trap
December 13, 2013
DENVER — Peyton Manning has played the classic pick-your-poison trap all season, spreading the ball out evenly to his wide receivers while lighting up the scoreboard like no NFL quarterback ever has.
Somebody's always singled up, and chances are that's where the ball's going, although Manning won't shy away from double coverage, either, if his man gets open.
Unlike many teams in today's air-it-out NFL, the Broncos don't have any prima donnas demanding passes and attention, preening for crowds and cameras. These Broncos are the antithesis of those high-maintenance superstars huffing back to the huddle to let the quarterback know just how open they were.
Manning has targeted Demaryius Thomas 117 times, Wes Welker 111 times and Eric Decker 109 times.
"With his football intelligence and the way he plays the game, he's going to take what the defense gives him.
— Mike McCoy, Chargers coach about Peyton Manning
Recommended Stories For You
Tight end Julius Thomas has been Manning's bull's-eye 69 times and running back Knowshon Moreno 58.
Those five players have caught 42 of Manning's 45 touchdown throws.
"The plays we call, there is a progression to each play, but the credit goes to the receivers for running full-speed routes," Manning said. "When you run full-speed routes you're going to have a chance to get open. I think because they know we spread the ball around, guys are expecting the ball."
San Diego coach Mike McCoy, whose Chargers visit Denver on Thursday night, was on the other side of the equation a year ago as Denver's offensive coordinator and now he's the one trying to figure out ways to slow down Manning.
"With his football intelligence and the way he plays the game, he's going to take what the defense gives him," McCoy said. "Whether it was in his early years in Indy, his late years in Indy, his time in Denver the last two years, he's going to more often than not find the open guy. It's not shocking at all the way he's spread the ball around and the success the entire offense has had because of the number of touches that each guy is getting."
Five things to keep an eye on when the Broncos (11-2) try to improve to 11-0 against the AFC West under Manning when they host the Chargers (6-7):
Manning is on pace to break several NFL records, including Tom Brady's mark of 50 TD passes and Drew Brees' record of 5,476 yards passing. And the Broncos are on pace to score a record 634 points.
"Yeah, the one we're concerned with is our win-loss record," Manning said. "It tells you how competitive our division is that you're still having to take care of business each week."
The Broncos lead the Chiefs (10-3) by a game.
Welker will miss this game after his second concussion in four weeks, but Jacob Tamme, Manning's former teammate in Indianapolis, is an able substitute in the slot.
Tamme was the odd-man out with the emergence of Julius Thomas, who broke Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe's single-season franchise record for tight ends with his 11th TD catch last week. But Tamme has 10 catches for 97 yards and a touchdown over the last three weeks.
"Obviously, Julius has played well this year and Tamme hasn't had as much playing time, but he's had a great attitude," Manning said. "And when his number has been called he's come in there and been outstanding."
The Chargers are as healthy as they've been all season, and last week they welcomed back outside linebacker Melvin Ingram, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in May.
"Last week was a big step for him," McCoy said. "He got 13 plays in the game. Now, he thinks he can play 100 plays. But that's just his attitude."
FOX VS. McCOY
Broncos coach John Fox missed the first game between these teams because he was in a hospital in North Carolina recovering from heart surgery.
So, this game will be the first time McCoy will face his mentor.
"It's great to see him back out there. I wouldn't be here today without John Fox," said McCoy, who worked for Fox for seven seasons in Carolina and Denver.
The Broncos have fallen behind by double digits in each of the last two weeks before storming back to beat Kansas City 35-28 and Tennessee 51-28.
"Once we realize that there will come a week where our offense isn't going to put up 50 and we have to make a stand, then things will be better," defensive tackle Terrance Knighton said. "Until then, it will be a dogfight."

Shakeria Kitty said the Bluffton Lady Bobcats didn't want another "one-and-done" end to their season. They accomplished that goal Monday with a 55-52 win over North Myrtle Beach in the first round of the Lower State playoffs.
They travel to Sumter on Thursday for a second-round matchup with the Crestwood Lady Knights, who beat Chapin 58-28 on Monday.
Bluffton didn't play its best game of the season against North Myrtle Beach, but it was good enough.
"I thought we didn't shoot well and we didn't press well," said Head Coach Lonnie Roberts.
The Lady Bobcats also had trouble defending against Taylor Allman, who led the Lady Chiefs and all scorers with 22 points.
"We knew she had been having some big games," Roberts said.
"We just tried to put a hand in her face and put pressure on the point guard so they couldn't get her the ball," he said. "She still knocked down some open shots and they got some shots in the lane because we had to keep two people on her."
Allman's half-court shot at the final buzzer hit the rim and kept the game in doubt to the very end.
Jennifer Giles led the Lady Bobcats with 16 points, Tibra Wheeler contributed 15 and Kitty added 14. Justice Hill and Alex Bailey scored 6 and 4 points, respectively.
And every point counted as North Myrtle Beach trailed most of the game but continued to erase Bluffton leads. The Lady Chiefs took a 1-point advantage late in the third quarter before a Kitty layup put the Lady Bobcats up for good.
Giles canned a couple of three-pointers in the third quarter and four critical free throws in the fourth quarter to help offset a late run by North Myrtle Beach.
India Farmer scored 12 for the Lady Chiefs, including 7 points in the third quarter rally.
The loss ends the season for North Myrtle Beach with a 17-8 overall record. The Lady Chiefs were 7-3 in Region 8-3A.
Bluffton improved its overall record to 20-4. The Bobcats were 8-2 in Region 7-3A.
