Downs is pissed!
"It changes the game completely when it goes from 3-1 walk to 3-2 and then I strike out. I get tired of umpires going back to the hotel and thinking they did a good job on the night and I have to go back to the hotel on a failure night after I feel like I walked 3-1 instead of punching out 3-2. Some kind of action has to be taken on just a bonehead call like that. I said I think that ball is in, and he said if I didn't swing next time, it would be 3-2 strikeout. He told me it was a strike all the way, it was a great pitch. After looking at the film, I realized that it was not."
I was well asleep by the time this happened, so I didn't see it. And since Gameday is being a tarted-up nancyboy, I can't tell. What did you see?

It wasn't even close. JD in the booth was pretty hacked as well.

Downs was 100% right. Ump made a TERRIBLE call, and that wasn't the first of the night. J.D's strikeout looking with two on was the same way, in on his hands and not a strike. His second strikeout "swinging" with the bases loaded should have been checked down to the first base ump and imho was a check swing. Very inconsistent strike zone last night to say the least.

Awful call. Wasn't close at all.
Altuve up with 1 out and the bases juiced, and maybe we're talking about a win today instead of a loss.

At least 8 inches inside. Big difference in bases loaded with 1 out instead of 2 on with two outs. It changed everything.
But that's baseball.
- August 10, 2011 at 9:53 AM
Downs is right. Call was horrible. What I don't understand is how C.B. Bucknor keeps coming back year after year. He can't umpire. He's terrible. He spent all night staring down anyone who took issue with his multitude of terrible calls. And that particular call screwed us. We had Putz on the ropes. And Bucknor is not the only one. Jerry Meals must go. Ask the Pirates about him. Where is the accountability?
- August 10, 2011 at 10:27 AM
Yep, it was a ball. Buckie the quacky duckie was off all night. Much dis-respect to a terrible ump.

SolarWorld heats and melts polysilicon rock until it forms a whitehot liquid, then re-fuses the molten silicon into a single giant crystal in which all atoms are perfectly aligned in a desired structure and orientation.
The magic starts with about 250 pounds of polysilicon rocks carefully stacked in a quartz crucible. The only other ingredient is a silicon disk impregnated with a tiny amount of boron. The addition of the oron dopant ensures that the resulting crystal will bear a positive potential electrical orientation. The crucible is encased within thick walls of insulating graphite and locked inside a cylindrical furnace.
As the crystal-growing furnace heats up to temperatures ranging around 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit, its silicon contents melt into a shimmering slurry. Once computerized monitors register the right temperature and atmospheric conditions, the alchemy begins. A silicon seed crystal, hung from a narrow cable attached to a rotary device atop the furnace, is slowly lowered into the melt.
The crucible starts to turn, and the seed crystal begins to rotate in the opposite direction. The silicon melt freezes onto the seed crystal, matching the seed's crystalline structure. The crystal grows, the cable and seed slowly ascend, and the crystal elongates at a controlled width. As the growth depletes the silicon slurry, the crucible also rises.
Flash forward about 2.5 days since the crucible was charged with polysilicon: After hours of cooling to about 300 degrees Fahrenheit, the furnace hood and shaft lift away from the crucible encasement, slowly swing to one side and reveal a completed cylindrical crystal, ready to move to the second step and next production room.
A silicon crystal must change shape several times before it winds up as the precisely calibrated wafers that form the foundations of photovoltaic cells.
First, a saw cuts off the crystal's so-called top and tail, so that a crystal of uniform width remains. Typically, wafering saws draw thin wire bearing a liquid abrasive across the crystal's surface. (Below, a machine mounted with a giant donutlike steel blade does the cutting.) Wire saws also cut the crystal into ingots measuring 2 feet or less. Steel holders are mounted on the ends of these ingots for the next step.
Mounted ingots are placed standing on end in a rack bearing 16 at a time inside another wireslicing machine. There, wire running in a lattice configuration descends on the ingots to shear off four rounded segments, leaving flat sides. The result: The ingots now have a square crosssection, except for still-rounded corners.
The next wire saw is more intricate yet. A wire winding hundreds of times between two cylindrical drums forms a web of parallel, tightly spaced segments. As the wire unspools through the machine, ingots mounted sideways on glass and metal holders are pressed two at a time through the wire web, slicing them into the thickness of slim business cards. Each millimeter of crystal yields about 21/2 wafers. Detached from their holders, the wafers are loaded into carriers, or boats, for transport to the next step.
Converting wafers into cells
At this point, a wafer is no more capable of producing electricity than a sliver of river rock. The wafer is the main building block of a PV cell, but so far its only notable characteristics are its crystal structure and positive potential orientation. All of that changes in the third, multistep, cell-production phase of PV manufacturing.
In the only phase requiring a designated clean room, a series of intricate chemical and heat treatments converts the blank, grey wafers into productive, blue cells. A so-called texture etch, for instance, removes a tiny layer of silicon, relying on the underlying crystal structure to reveal an irregular pattern of pyramids. The surface of pyramids – so small they're invisible to the naked eye – absorbs more light.
Next, wafers are moved in cartridges into long, cylindrical, ovenlike chambers in which phosphorus is diffused into a thin layer of the wafer surface. The molecular-level impregnation occurs as the wafer surface is exposed to phosphorus gas at a high heat, a step that gives the surface a negative potential electrical orientation. The combination of that layer and the boron-doped layer below creates a positive-negative, or P/N, junction – a critical partition in the functioning of a PV cell.
Coloring and Printing
The burgeoning, still-grey cells move in trays into heavy vacuum chambers where blue-purple silicon nitride is deposited onto their tops. The coating with silicon nitride – yet another member of the silicon family of materials – is designed to reduce reflection even further in the energy-dense blue end of the light spectrum. It leaves the cells with their final, dark color. Now, the cells can optimally gather photons and produce electricity. They lack, however, any mechanism to collect and forward the power. So, in a series of silkscreen- like steps, metals are printed on both sides of the cell, adding pin-stripe "fingers" and bus-bar circuitry. A functioning cell is born – only sunshine needed.
Stringing cells into solar panels
Each phase of production depends on processes with flavors all their own. Careful control of heating and cooling dominates crystal growing. Wafering employs abrasion and cutting. Cell production concentrates on chemistry. Any factory process would be incomplete without a final assembly step, and in PV such a step is known as moduling.
At SolarWorld, module manufacturing is a highly automated process, relying on robust steel robotics to undertake the increasingly heavy lifting of assembling lightweight PV cells into modules weighing around 45 pounds apiece. Each robotic tool works within a safety fence that, by design, excludes people. First, cells are soldered together into strings of 10, using an over-under-over-under pattern of metal connectors to link the cells. Six strings are laid out to form a rectangular matrix of 60 cells. Each matrix is laminated onto glass.
To become a module, however, each laminate requires not only a frame to provide protection against weather and other impacts but also a junction box to enable connections among modules or with an inverter-bound conduit. Robots affix those, too.
Inspection and Shipping
Careful cleaning and inspection provide final touches before each module can be palletized for delivery to homes and businesses.

One of the major problems that confronted by Maj. Gen. Benjamin F. Butler on his occupation of New Orleans in April of 1862, was the abuse his soldiers endured from patriotic Confederate women. Bitterly resentful of the Union occupation, whenever any of Butler's men were present they would contemptuously gather in their skirts, cross streets, flee rooms, cast hateful glances, or make derisive comments. Some sang spirited renditions of "The Bonnie Blue Flag" and other Confederate songs, or spat on soldiers' uniforms, while teaching their children to do the same. One woman emptied a chamber pot on Capt. David C. Farragut from her window shortly after the mayor surrendered the city to him.
The women hoped their actions would force a retaliatory incident serious enough to incite paroled Confederates to revolt against the occupation troops. Butler's men showed remarkable restraint against the insults, but he realized that it was only a matter of time until one of them, pressed too far, would arrest some female belligerent. Undoubtedly the men of New Orleans would attempt a rescue, and Butler feared his small force would be overcome. He dealt with the problem on May 15 by issuing General Orders No. 28, carefully worded to be self-enforcing:Except for a few isolated incidents, the insults stopped abruptly when the women learned they would be treated as common whores for demeaning a man wearing a U.S. army uniform. A few who persisted were arrested and imprisoned on Ship Island, notably Mrs. Philip Philips, who was confined from 30 June until mid-September for laughing when the funeral procession of a Federal officer was passing her house.
" As the officers and soldiers of the United States have been subjected to repeated insults from the women (calling themselves ladies) of New Orleans, in return for the most scrupulous noninterference and courtesy on our part, it is ordered that hereafter when any female shall, by word, gesture, or movement, insult or show contempt for any officer or soldier of the United States, she shall be regarded and held liable to be treated as a woman of the town plying her avocation."
The "Woman's Order" provoked criticism throughout the Confederacy and in Europe from people who considered his proclamation an unpardonable affront to womanhood. In defense of the order he emphasized the restraint his soldiers had shown civilians in New Orleans. Nevertheless, the infamous order excited indignation and personal animosity toward Butler. Many felt his nickname, "Beast" Butler, was well deserved.
Immediately upon learning of General Orders No. 28, John T. Monroe, Mayor of New Orleans, wrote a scathing letter to General Butler decrying the order. Strangely, almost as soon as it was written, Monroe retracted it and issued an apology. However, one who did not issue an apology was Jefferson Davis. President Davis issued a "Proclamation" branding Butler and his officers as nothing more than outlaws that would be hanged if captured.

Fedora 17 Debuts as Linux 3.5 Release Cycle Begins
It has been another busy week on the Linux Planet with a major distribution release and the beginning of a new kernel release cycle.
1) Fedora 17
The first Fedora release of 2012 hit general availability last week and it's a distribution that the community has been 'relishing' for some time. Nicknamed the 'Beefy Miracle' the Fedora 17 release is loaded with both desktop, server and cloud facing condiments.
On the desktop side is the latest GNOME 3.4 release which is now the default across a wider range of hardware than the previous Fedora 16 release. With Fedora 16, there was a GNOME Fallback mode that enable a more classic GNOME desktop for those that wanted it (or didn't have the right hardware).
Robyn Bergeron told InternetNews.com that that fallback mode isn't completely and entirely eliminated, there are a few video configurations for which it will still occur.
The other big user facing change is the change to the /usr directory. Fedora is now consolidating multiple directories that all likely always should have been /usr into one directory.
"It's mostly about reducing complexity, in a number of areas - from things as simple as having a cleaner overall filesystem layout, to making packaging easier for someone who is packaging software for multiple distributions," Bergeron said. "There are also benefits from a power-user or enterprise perspective -- you can do snapshotting of the OS, or share it between multiple hosts."
On the server side, Fedora 17 sports the oVirt project which is essentially the open source community version of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization. As part of Fedora, oVirt will serve as a worthy option and alternative to VMware.
From a cloud perspective, Fedora 17 is loaded up with the latest OpenStack Essex release including the Quantum networking project. OpenStack has appeared in Fedora before, but this is the first time that it's in a Red Hat sponsored effort since Red Hat officially became a member of the OpenStack Foundation.
"At the heat of a thousand hot dog cookers, the seventeenth release of Fedora shall be forged by contributors the world over, and it will be known as: Beefy Miracle. The mustard shall indicate progress."
2) Fedora 18 Secure Boot
With the general availability of Fedora 17, work has now commenced on Fedora 18. The release cycle for Fedora 18, nicknamed the Spherical Cow, coincides with the release time frame for Microsoft's Windows 8.
As opposed to previous releases of Windows, Microsoft this time around is imposing its' will on hardware vendors with a new Secure UEFI boot system. With Secure UEFI a signed digital key will be required in order for an operating system to boot. It's a problem that could potentially make it impossible for Linux users to boot Linux on new hardware.
Fedora has one possible solution It involves paying VeriSign for a key that Microsoft will then use with hardware vendors. Fedora developer Matthew Garret provides all the gory detail in a blog post.
"In all probability, this is the approach we'll take. Our first stage bootloader will be signed with a Microsoft key."
3) Linux 3.5 Release Cycle Starts
Linus Torvalds kicked off the latest kernel release cycle late Saturday night with the first release candidate for the Linux 3.5 kernel. The release comes just two short weeks after Linux 3.4 was officially released.
At this early stage the bulk of the kernel is driver updates, though Torvalds noted there is more too.
"Depending on what your interest is, you might be excited about the CoDel packet scheduler, or about the GPU driver updates, or the new scsi targets," Torvalds wrote in his release announcement. "There is something in here for pretty much anybody."

Percy Bysshe Shelley was born August 4, 1792, at Field Place, near Horsham, Sussex, England. The eldest son of Timothy and Elizabeth Shelley, with one brother and four sisters, he stood in line to inherit not only his grandfather's considerable estate but also a seat in Parliament. He attended Eton College for six years beginning in 1804, and then went on to Oxford University. He began writing poetry while at Eton, but his first publication was a Gothic novel, Zastrozzi (1810), in which he voiced his own heretical and atheistic opinions through the villain Zastrozzi. That same year, Shelley and another student, Thomas Jefferson Hogg, published a pamphlet of burlesque verse, "Posthumous Fragments of Margaret Nicholson," and with his sister Elizabeth, Shelley published Original Poetry; by Victor and Cazire. In 1811, Shelley continued this prolific outpouring with more publications, including another pamphlet that he wrote and circulated with Hogg titled "The Necessity of Atheism," which got him expelled from Oxford after less than a year's enrollment. Shelley could have been reinstated if his father had intervened, but this would have required his disavowing the pamphlet and declaring himself Christian. Shelley refused, which led to a complete break between Shelley and his father. This left him in dire financial straits for the next two years, until he came of age.
That same year, at age nineteen, Shelley eloped to Scotland with sixteen-year-old Harriet Westbrook. Once married, Shelley moved to the Lake District of England to study and write. Two years later he published his first long serious work, Queen Mab: A Philosophical Poem. The poem emerged from Shelley's friendship with the British philosopher William Godwin, and it expressed Godwin's freethinking Socialist philosophy. Shelley also became enamored of Godwin and Mary Wollstonecraft's daughter, Mary, and in 1814 they eloped to Europe. After six weeks, out of money, they returned to England. In November 1814 Harriet Shelley bore a son, and in February 1815 Mary Godwin gave birth prematurely to a child who died two weeks later. The following January, Mary bore another son, named William after her father. In May the couple went to Lake Geneva, where Shelley spent a great deal of time with George Gordon, Lord Byron, sailing on Lake Geneva and discussing poetry and other topics, including ghosts and spirits, into the night. During one of these ghostly "seances," Byron proposed that each person present should write a ghost story. Mary's contribution to the contest became the novel Frankenstein. That same year, Shelley produced the verse allegory Alastor, or The Spirit of Solitude. In December 1816 Harriet Shelley apparently committed suicide. Three weeks after her body was recovered from a lake in a London park, Shelley and Mary Godwin officially were married. Shelley lost custody of his two children by Harriet because of his adherence to the notion of free love.
In 1817, Shelley produced Laon and Cythna, a long narrative poem that, because it contained references to incest as well as attacks on religion, was withdrawn after only a few copies were published. It was later edited and reissued as The Revolt of Islam (1818). At this time, he also wrote revolutionary political tracts signed "The Hermit of Marlow." Then, early in 1818, he and his new wife left England for the last time. During the remaining four years of his life, Shelley produced all his major works, including Prometheus Unbound (1820). Traveling and living in various Italian cities, the Shelleys were friendly with the British poet Leigh Hunt and his family as well as with Byron.
On July 8, 1822, shortly before his thirtieth birthday, Shelley was drowned in a storm while attempting to sail from Leghorn to La Spezia, Italy, in his schooner, the Don Juan.

Rafael Benitez survived a baptism of fire in his first game in charge as Chelsea kept a clean sheet in a goalless draw at home to Manchester City, while Liverpool also drew blank as they were frustrated at Swansea. Southampton climbed out of the relegation zone with a win over Newcastle, while Tottenham returned to winning ways with victory against West Ham.
Rafael Benitez began his reign as Chelsea manager with a point as the Blues were held 0-0 by champions Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.
The former Liverpool boss received a hostile reception when he was introduced to Blues fans before kick-off, and was unable to appease the Chelsea crowd as they failed to secure their first win in five Premier League matches to slip five points off the pace.
Benitez, who bought striker Fernando Torres from Atletico Madrid while at Anfield, restored the Spaniard to the starting XI, and it was the £50m signing who had the best chance to snatch all three points for his side, latching onto the ball just inside the penalty area, only to blaze over.
In a scrappy match of few clear-cut chances, City, still unbeaten in the Premier League, forged the first real chance of the match, but David Silva could not keep his header down from Pablo Zabaleta's whipped cross.
Chelsea, who have looked fragile in defence in the absence of skipper John Terry, will be boosted by a clean sheet, although Ashley Cole was required to clear the ball off the line after Edin Dzeko's effort beat Petr Cech.
Cech was also called into action in stoppage time, although Matija Nastasic's header was directed straight at the Blues keeper. The draw moved City to within a point of leaders Manchester United, leaving Chelsea fourth.
Brendan Rodgers' first trip back to old club Swansea ended in frustration as Liverpool created a glut of chances in a 0-0 draw on Sunday.
Rodgers left Swansea in the summer to take the reins at Anfield, but he was afforded a warm reception at the Liberty Stadium upon his return. Sentiment soon disappeared when the opening whistle sounded, with both sides intent on attack, but a disallowed Jose Enrique goal was as close as either team came to scoring.
Liverpool started with Stewart Downing at left-back behind Enrique as Rodgers continued to switch the pair's positions, but it was the other flank that threatened to create a breakthrough. Glen Johnson headed over from an early corner and then sent a wicked cross in for Enrique, who chested wide as he failed to make up his mind how to attack the ball.
Swansea drew the first telling save when Wayne Routledge spun away from Martin Skrtel to sting the palms of Pepe Reina, but Johnson remained the most dangerous player on the pitch, breaking in behind the Swansea defence down the inside-left channel - only to see Gerhard Tremmel divert his goalbound effort over.
Pablo Hernandez looked the classiest player in the white of Swansea and he sent a delicate effort curling beyond Reina's far post in an entertaining first half, but a better effort was to come from Raheem Sterling, who slammed a thumping volley against the bar.
Still there was time for more before the interval as Liverpool exploited the right flank again, and this time they did put the ball in the net only for Enrique's back-post tap-in to be flagged for offside, with replays proving unclear.
Chances dried up somewhat in the second period, although Swansea began to look dangerous from set-plays, and Reina had to be at his most alert to foil Nathan Dyer after Downing switched off at the back.
The best opening arrived in the final ten minutes when Suarez and Sterling sparked a two-on-one, only for the latter to overhit his pass as Suarez was sent too wide to bear down on goal. Jonjo Shelvey also threatened from range but it was another fruitless day for Liverpool.
Jermain Defoe haunted his former club as Tottenham sank West Ham 3-1 at White Hart Lane. The former Hammers striker scored twice as Spurs ended a run of three straight league defeats to move up to seventh, level on points with rivals Arsenal.
Defoe broke the deadlock on the stroke of half-time with a superb solo effort, skipping away from Winston Reid before slipping past Mark Noble and smashing a powerful shot past Jussi Jaaskelainen.
With Spurs in the driving seat, Gareth Bale was causing problems for the West Ham defence, and after seeing his first-half strike rattle the crossbar, the Welshman slotted home from Clint Dempsey's chipped pass.
Defoe got his second after an unselfish pass from Aaron Lennon to put the game beyond the Hammers, who earned a late consolation through on-loan striker Andy Carroll - his first goal for the club.
Southampton moved out of the relegation zone after a 2-0 victory over Newcastle. Saints' third win of the season, courtesy of goals from Adam Lallana and Gaston Ramirez, saw them move up to 17th, with Aston Villa dropping into the bottom three.
Lallana struck in the 34th minute at St Mary's, receiving the ball from Ramirez before sending a left-footed effort beyond Tim Krul in the Newcastle goal. That lead was then doubled on the hour as Ramirez turned goalscorer this time, converting from close range for a deserved Southampton victory, and things could have got better when Jay Rodriguez's late strike was ruled out for offside.

Among friends
On Friday, I had the honor of speaking at the Heritage Foundation's 28th annual resource bank meeting in Miami. Every serious account of the rise of the conservative movement emphasizes the role of the Heritage Foundation. I was grateful for the opportunity to participate, regretting only that I could not attend both days of the proceedings. My panel considered, what else, "New Media: the power of the blogs." My talk »
Satellite Recorded Checkpoint Shooting
Maybe I'm the only one who missed it, but CBS News aired a report Thursday evening, discussed here by AFP, that the fatal encounter between the vehicle taking Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena to the Baghdad airport and American soldiers at a highway checkpoint was recorded by a satellite. American investigators relied on the recording in exonerating the soldiers who fired on the speeding vehicle. Ms. Sgrena has said that the »
Learning from Mario
In his radio address for the Democrats today, Mario Cuomo showed himself to be the faithful student of cornpone constitutionalist and former Ku Klux Klan Kleagle Robert Byrd. Thus spake His Honor: Now, the Republicans in the Senate…are threatening to claim ownership of the Supreme Court and other federal courts, hoping to achieve political results on subjects like abortion, stem cells, the environment and civil rights that they can not »
French Bloggers Say "Non"
The Independent reports on the role payed by "les bloggeurs" in the upcoming French referendum on the EU constitution. For those who are skeptical of the whole EU project, as I am, it's probably good news that the "non" vote seems to be leading. But the "bloggeurs'" chief objection to the EU seems to be that it will disrupt France's decline into self-satisfied irrelevance by promoting Anglo-Saxon free market economics. »
Remembering the fall of Saigon badly
Last night, CNN remembered the fall of Saigon in its own way. The program started out well enough with a feature on what happened to the half-American babies and young children who were rescued from South Vietnam. As one would expect, the answer is, very good things, at least in the case of the individuals profiled. But then came Bruce Morton. His feature included a clip of fellow relic David »

Specifically, in the 90 days since Kerry promised on national television to sign the form »
The visionary
The new issue of the Weekly Standard has just been posted online.

The Standard has made available its excellent cover story by Stephen Hayes on Paul Wolfowitz: "The Visionary." »
Decline and renewal?
In the post below I mention Peter Braestrup's study of the press coverage of Tet, Big Story. Braestrup's book also makes a cameo appearance in Terry Eastland's interesting Wilson Quarterly essay: "The collapse of big media: Starting over." Coincidentally, Braestrup founded the Wilson Quarterly after he left the Washington Post for the Woodrow Wilson International Center, where he wrote Big Story. »
Remembering the fall of Saigon
Thirty years ago today North Vietnamese tanks rolled into Saigon and the last American troops stationed in Vietnam were airlifted off the roof of the American embassy. South Vietnam was reduced to Communist vassalage as the first wave of Vietnamese "boat people" sought escape from servitude. Today's papers are full of retrospectives; a Google search on Vietnam this morning turns up 16,800 hits on "Vietnam." For me, the horrible sights »
Rumors of Osama's Demise
You've probably already heard by now that an Arabic site in London has posted a rumor that Osama bin Laden is dead. Apparently there is considerable debate going on among Islamist sites about whether the rumor is true or not. We haven't mentioned it because we have nothing to add, beyond noting the rumor's existence. I thought bin Laden was dead for a couple of years before he made that »
Coleman to Subpoena Investigators
We reported here on the resignation of two investigators for the Volcker committee investigating the U.N.'s oil for food scandal. The resignations apparently were in protest over the Volcker report's gentle treatment of Kofi Annan. Subsequently, Volcker has apparently directed his former investigators not to talk to others who are looking into the scandal. The best investigation of the oil for food program is the one being carried out by »
Katie Kieffer Reports
We contacted St. Thomas senior Katie Kieffer and asked for her report on Ann Coulter's appearance at St. Thomas. Ms. Kieffer's report provides a valuable counterpoint to the columns by the Star Tribune's fatuous columnist as well as to Father Dease's condemnation of the event: Here are my thoughts on the atmosphere at the Ann Coulter event. Please note that the quotes are accurate to the best of my knowledge, »
Democrats Reject Compromise on Judges
As we noted yesterday, Bill Frist's offer of a compromise on judicial nominations was a statesmanlike effort. It was scrupulously fair to both parties, constrained the majority just as it would the minority–more, really, since absent the compromise, the majority, Republican or Democrat, would always have the Constitutional option at its disposal–and effectuated the principle, endorsed by an overwhelming majority of Americans of both parties, that all judicial nominees should »
Hateful speech revisited
On April 18 Ann Coulter spoke at the University of St. Thomas campus in St. Paul, Minnesota. When the Minneapolis Star Tribune's fatuous columnist wrote a characteristically bullying column accusing Coulter of "hate speech," he provoked a reaction among the administrators on campus. Before long, university president Father Dennis Dease issued a statement condemming Coulter's speech as "hateful," despite the fact that he had not attended it or deigned to »
The Least Gracious Apology of the Week…
…was delivered by Ken Salazar, Democratic Senator from Colorado. In a television interview, Salazar called James Dobson and his group, Focus on the Family, "the anti-Christ." Salazar now says: I spoke about Jim Dobson and his efforts and used the term 'the anti-Christ.' I regret having used that term. I meant to say this approach was un-Christian, meaning self-serving and selfish. Oh, OK. Not the "anti-Christ," just "un-Christian." Glad you »
Regarding the Dartmouth trustee election
Dartmouth alum John MacGovern writes in answer to questions regarding the irregularities that have plagued the trustee election whose deadline has now been extended to May 6 (references to email attachments in the message have been omitted): There have been all sorts of election irregularities in the Dartmouth trustee election, extending the election deadline was NOT one of them. I, for one, sent a strongly worded email to John Walters, »
Sustain in Spain
Last night we noted that Dartmouth College has hired its first "sustainability director," Jim Merkel. The Dartmouth Daily story on Merkel's hiring reported that Merkel — "who is currently bicycing through Spain to promote his book 'Radical Simplicity'" — has lived "on only $5,000 a year — close to the global average income — for the past 14 years."

Sens. Brown, D-Ohio; Thune, R-S.D.; Durbin, D-Ill.; and Lugar, R-Ind., have released a new farm policy proposal which would eliminate direct and counter-cyclical payments and replace the current ACRE and SURE programs with a consolidated revenue protection program called the Aggregate Risk and Revenue Management (ARRM) program. The marketing loan would be retained.
According to various reports,"the bipartisan Aggregate Risk and Revenue Management (ARRM) program builds on the concept of the Average Crop Revenue Election program and makes it more responsive by determining losses more locally than at current state levels, reduces overlap with crop insurance and simplifies the application and administrative processes, while saving billions of taxpayer dollars."
In summary, the ARRM Program would: 1) eliminate direct payments and counter-cyclical payments and replace SURE for Commodity Title Crops; 2) cost $28.469 billion (CBO score) and saves $19.810 billion over 10 years (CBO score); 3) provide better protection for farmers by targeting revenue rather than price (uses actual planted acres vs. base acres, a rolling average of revenue and recent market prices and up to date yields to set its guarantee); 4) rely on existing data that the Farm Service Agency and Risk Management Agency (RMA) already share whenever possible; 5) as an initial eligibility trigger, employ Crop Reporting Districts rather than the entire state; 6) use RMA harvest price so payment amounts are determined more promptly; and 7) limit payments to 15 percent of the program guarantee.
There are no payment limitations in the proposal, but it is assumed that the current Adjusted Gross Income test would remain in effect.

Parents sue Birmingham Public Schools over fees for books, locks, gym clothes
The parents of a student who attends Birmingham Public Schools have filed a class-action lawsuit against the district, claiming that fees that parents must pay for items like school planners, locks and gym uniforms are illegal.
John and Laurie Kelly filed the suit through their attorneys, Mark Wasvary and Carl Becker, on Nov. 2 in Oakland County Circuit Court.
Their son, Gabriel, is in 6th Grade at Derby Middle School, 1300 Derby Road in Birmingham.
The suit describes items that parents must purchase throughout the year and also goes into detail about the costs. For instance, the assignment book costs $10, locks are between $3 and $6, and gym uniforms cost about $19.
Students must wear a specific uniform for gym. At Berkshire Middle School, that uniform consists of gray T-shirts and blue shorts, according to the lawsuit. The school also forces "required magazines, workbooks and some required music books, materials and equipment" to be purchased from them.
"Charging families for the aforementioned items is in contradiction to this State's Constitution, the State Board of Education Position Statement On Free Text Books, Materials, and the Charging of Fees," the suit states. It also cites a Michigan Supreme Court ruling.
On Oct. 18, school officials sent an email to parents of students at Derby Middle School, stating that some of the fees were "beyond what is permitted."
"This letter serves as a general notice to students and parents that the district is taking corrective action to assure that all fees imposed follow the guidance of the State Board of Education," the email states, according to the lawsuit.
"The letter did not offer to refund all illegal fees previously paid," the suit states.
"Instead, it imposed a duty upon the parent or child when the school had sufficient records to identify all students who were charged the fees."
The exact numbers of people involved in the class-action lawsuit is unknown, but the Kellys believe it is "in excess of 4,000 members," some of whom may have individual claims of "as little as $10."
Birmingham Public Schools officials did not return a call seeking comment.

A comprehensive digital dictionary with terms from sign and related industries
Additive color: A color model associated with the RGB (red, green, blue) method of representing color. Equal amounts of the primaries will combine to produce the perception of white light. This is normally used in video systems/monitors.
Adobe Illustrator™: A software package for designing and illustrating. Some features include: a complete set of drawing tools, on-screen drawing and EPS-file formatting.
Airbrush printer: A large, digital-print machine (for printing billboards, etc.) that uses compressed air to drive inks through the printhead.
Aliasing: The stair-stepped (jagged) appearance in printed diagonal lines.
Anti-aliasing: A technique that smoothes the printed appearance of stair-stepped (jagged) lines. One method is to fill the edges of the line with varying shades of color (or gray). This method averages the brightness values of the edges.
Application: A computer software program that performs specific functions such as page layout, word processing, accounting, drawing and spreadsheet formation.
ASCII (American standard code for information interchange) (pronounced as-kee): ASCII is a computer code used to transfer numbers and text data between computers that run different software applications.
Banding: In digital printing, this term refers to patterns on a print caused by insufficient color or gray-scale ranges within the output device's image processor, or insufficient information contained within the original scan. Banding is most noticeable in printed areas that fade from light to dark.
Baud: A measure of speed in data transmission. Baud has the same meaning as bits per second.
Binary: A system based on the numbers 0 and 1 as on-off switches. There is no middle ground; electrical signals are represented by electrical current being positive or negative, on or off. All computer data is based on the binary system.
Bit/byte: Measurements of computer data. The bit, or binary digit (0 or 1), is the smallest unit of information a computer can work with. Because computers represent all data in numbers or digits, they are digital devices. Thus, these digits are measured in bits; each electronic signal becomes one bit. However, to represent more complex data, computers must combine these bit signals into larger groups called bytes.
Bitmap: Generally, a bitmap is associated with graphics objects. The bits are a direct representation of the picture image. In a monochrome system, one bit in the bitmap represents one pixel on screen. With color (or gray-scale) systems, several bitmaps in the bitmap represent one pixel or group of pixels.

Before you read this blog know that I am NOT a political commentator nor am I a political person. I am objective and just report only what I see from my viewpoint and expertise as a behavioral analyst and body language and communication expert.
So before you spew out your political views and make personal attacks towards me know that I am ONLY reporting this from a BODY LANGUAGE point of view and that I have NO political agenda.
It was very interesting to watch both candidates greet one another as they both used the power gesture which let the other one know that they were the one in control. As they shook hands they mutually grabbed one another's forearms as they both smiled and looked directly into one another's eyes. They obviously let the other know that they were equally powerful and self confident as you can see int he photo above.
As they began the debate Obama did not look directly into the camera as Romeny did. When someone looks directly at their audience there is a greater connection.
When both candidates made there final statements Obama only looked directly into the camera for a few seconds while Romney looked directly into the camera on a continuous basis and spoke directly to his audience.
Obama displayed signals of anxiety as he spoke as he pursed his lips and licked his lips which may have indicated he had a bit of dry mouth during the debate. When he spoke for the second time during the first section of the debate he said "uh" or "eh" a total of 15 times which distracted from his fluency in delivering his message. This may also have been a reflection of his anxiety at the beginning of the debate.
Over all throughout the debate Romneny used wider, broader gestures that were more away from the body which reflected more of an openness
while Obama used more closed gestures closer to his body which reflected that he was more self contained in what he was saying.
Whenever Obama spoke on behalf of Romney and laid out Romney's views, he was slammed by Romney, who vigorously defended himself. This was not a very wise plan on Obama's part. Each time he was slammed by Romney, Obama looked down and had a sheepish expression on his face complete with tight lips which were pursed and a non genuine smile of what appeared to be a "smile of embarrassment".
Most of he time when Romney spoke, Obama did not look at him. Instead he looked down and pursed his lips which indicated tension. Even though his lips were positioned into a smile, it was not a genuine smile but rather a smirk as his lips often swung to the side.
On the other hand, whenever Obama spoke, Romney calmly looked directly at him and did not make any extraneous negative facial movements.
Romeny had a lot of passion in his voice and a lot of emotion as he spoke. He used a lot of varied inflection to express his points, whereas Obama did not do so.
When confronted by Romney you can see Obama look down and there is muscle tension at the side of his jaw which on several occasions was seen pulsating. This indicated suppressed anger on Obama's part. You can see this lower jaw tension in the photo above.
As Romney spoke, Obama not only did not look at him, he leaked out signals of anger as seen above as he pursed his lips several times , where there is considerable muscle tension around his obicularis oris muscles around his lips.
While Romney didn't follow the rules of the debate and overpowered the moderator by insisting he define and defend his position when he believed he was allegedly misquoted by Obama,it did display a quality of leadership, taking charge, and a no nonsense approach. He also consistently enumerated his points as #1, #2, #3, etc. which made it easier for the viewer to follow what he was trying to say.
Obama followed suit but only did this one time in the later part of the debate and only enumerated on a point 1 and point 2.
Feet can tell you a great deal about a person's state of mind. When we look at Obamas' feet at the podium we see that his toe is on the ground while his heel is off the ground. When a person does this it usually means that the person wants to get out of there and they don't want to stay. Obama was most likely subconsciously saying "Let me out of here. " "I can't wait until this debate is over. "
When Romney told Obama that he picks the losers in relation to various companies he mentioned, Obama looks down in embarrassment, yet smiles a genuine smile as the apples of his cheeks are raised, his teeth are showing and his eyes are squinted as you can see above. This is a smile of truth, indicating that he acknowledges that he did indeed pick some losers.
But then his expression morphs into one of embarrassment as he realizes that he is not happy about this point which was brought out during this debate.
Then his expression quickly morphs into anger as he cocks his head and jut his lower jaw and lip foreword.
When Romney confronts Obama and says that he has been in business for 25 years and doesn't know what Obama is talking about, we see Obama raise his eyebrows as indicated by the crinkling of his forehead in an expression of surprise that Romney could actually say this to him. The lip pursing indicates anger at what Romeny has said.
During the last part of the debate a Romeny sets Obama straight with the fact of what he plans to do ,Obama's facial expression indicates that the is holding back his anger as you can see by his severely pursing his lips and the narrowing of his eyes and the lowering of his eyebrows . He is also seen swallowing hard.
Obama gains control by taking in a visibly large breath of air and abruptly exhaling to immediately release his anger and his tension.
But then when Romney shared how many of those green companies supported Obama in his campaign, once again we see the "smile of embarrassment " as Obama pulls aways from Romney's verbal punch by cocking his head to the side as he leaks out a sheepish expression.
Overall, Romeny is much more fluent , fluid, inflected and animated in his speech than Obama which makes him more appealing as a communicator in this debate as opposed to Obama who is more hesitant and staccato and exhibits more pause time in his speaking pattern and often repeats words and interjects multiple "uhs" which breaks the flow of his communication.
In making his final statements Obama does not take advantage of speaking directly to his 40 million viewers around the world by looking directly into the camera. He looks down and to the side.
Romney on the other hand made his final appeal to the public by looking right at them through the lens of the camera. He took full advantage of that opportunity. While Romney appeared to be more relaxed and in control throughout the debate, while making his final statements he did blink excessively at times. While eye blinking is often known as a signal of deception, it can also be a signal of anxiety as well as he made his final points directly to the eye of the camera.He was passionate and dynamic in his delivery. There is also a breathy quality to his vocal pattern which is reminiscent of Ronald Reagan as he expresses key points.
As far as body language, facial expression,voice quality, and speech pattern are concerned, Romney clearly won this debate

CHICAGO — The Latest on Supreme Court refusing to take up Rod Blagojevich's appeal; (all times local):
12:30 p.m.
The wife of imprisoned former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says she and their two children are disappointed that the Supreme Court decided not to hear her husband's appeal of his corruption convictions.
A Monday statement from Patti Blagojevich says she understands "the judiciary" is "no longer an option" for winning her 61-year-old husband's release.
The justices didn't comment Monday in letting the convictions and 14-year prison term Blagojevich is serving stand. They also refused to hear his appeal in 2016.
With legal avenues closed, Blagojevich's wife says they'll have to put their "faith elsewhere and find another way."
She didn't mention President Donald Trump. But one option could be asking him to commute Blagojevich's sentence or pardon him.
Blagojevich was on Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" TV show in 2010.
8:30 a.m.
The Supreme Court for the second time has refused to hear an appeal by imprisoned former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich of his corruption convictions.
The justices didn't comment Monday in letting stand the convictions and 14-year prison term the 61-year-old is serving. His scheduled release date is 2024.
Blagojevich's lawyers had wanted the high court to take up his case to make clear what constitutes illegal political fundraising. They argued that politicians are vulnerable to prosecution because the line between what's allowed and what's illegal is blurry.
His convictions included trying to extort a children's hospital for contributions and seeking to trade an appointment to the Senate seat Barack Obama vacated when he was elected president for campaign cash.
The court also refused to hear his 2016 appeal.

Ferroportin disease, also known as hemochromatosis type 4, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the abnormal accumulation of iron in the body. Ferroportin disease is caused by mutations of the SLC40A1 gene. The specific symptoms associated with ferroportin disease can vary greatly from one person to another. Some individuals may only have elevated levels of ferritin, a protein that binds to iron and is used as an indicator of the body's iron stores in the blood plasma. Other individuals may develop symptoms similar to classic hereditary hemochromatosis.
Ferroportin disease is classified as an iron overload disorder, a group of disorders characterized by the abnormal accumulation of iron in the body. It is a separate, distinct disorder from classic hereditary hemochromatosis. Ferroportin disease is caused by mutations in a different gene and is inherited in a different manner from other forms of hemochromatosis.
The symptoms of ferroportin disease vary greatly from one person to another. Researchers believe that different mutations of the SLC40A1 gene are associated with different symptoms. Generally, ferroportin disease is separated into two main forms.
Some individuals with ferroportin disease develop a mild form of the disorder. These individuals have elevated levels of ferritin in the blood plasma (hyperferritinemia) and low level of saturated transferrin (the protein that carries iron in the blood). As affected individuals age, mild liver damage (hepatic fibrosis) may occur.
Other individuals develop a form of ferroportin disease that resembles the more common classic form of hemochromatosis (hemochromatosis type 1). The transferrin saturation is significantly elevated in this form. Symptoms associated with this form include joint pain, abnormalities in the heart's rhythm or heartbeat pattern (arrhythmias), and diabetes. Liver damage is more prevalent in this form of ferroportin disease and can progress to cause scarring (cirrhosis) of the liver.
Ferroportin disease is caused by mutations of the SLC40A1 gene. These mutations are inherited as autosomal dominant traits. Genetic diseases are determined by the combination of genes for a particular trait that are on the chromosomes received from the father and the mother.
Dominant genetic disorders occur when only a single copy of an abnormal gene is necessary for the appearance of the disease. The abnormal gene can be inherited from either parent, or can be the result of a new mutation (gene change) in the affected individual. The risk of passing the abnormal gene from affected parent to offspring is 50 percent for each pregnancy regardless of the sex of the resulting child.
Investigators have determined that the SLC40A1 gene is located on the long arm (q) of chromosome 2 (2q32). Chromosomes, which are present in the nucleus of human cells, carry the genetic information for each individual. Human body cells normally have 46 chromosomes. Pairs of human chromosomes are numbered from 1 through 22 and the sex chromosomes are designated X and Y. Males have one X and one Y chromosome and females have two X chromosomes. Each chromosome has a short arm designated "p" and a long arm designated "q". Chromosomes are further sub-divided into many bands that are numbered. For example, "chromosome 2q32" refers to band 32 on the long arm of chromosome 2. The numbered bands specify the location of the thousands of genes that are present on each chromosome.
The SLC40A1 gene contains instructions for creating ferroportin, a specialized protein that is crucial to the proper export of iron from cells. Ferroportin also plays a role in the proper breakdown (metabolism) of iron. Iron is a critical mineral that is found in all cells of the body and is essential for the body to function and grow properly. Iron is found many types of food including red meat, poultry, eggs and vegetables. Iron levels must remain in a specific range within the body, otherwise they can cause anemia (due to low iron levels) or damage affected organs (due to high iron levels).
Mutations of the SLC40A1 gene result in low levels of functional ferroportin. The lack of functional ferroportin ultimately results in the abnormal accumulation of iron in the cells and tissues of the body. Different mutations of the SLC40A1 gene affect the ferroportin protein in different ways, altering the export and metabolism of iron accordingly. Researchers believe that the different ways in which SLC40A1 mutations affect ferroportin account for the two different forms of the disorder.
Ferroportin disease affects males and females in equal numbers. The exact incidence of ferroportin disease is unknown. Researchers believe that the disorder occurs more frequently than has been reported in the medical literature. Ferroportin affects individuals of all races and ethnicities. Some researchers believe that ferroportin disease is the most common form of hereditary iron overload after classic (type 1) hemochromatosis.
A diagnosis of ferroportin disease is made based upon identification of characteristic symptoms, a detailed patient history, a thorough clinical evaluation and a variety of specialized tests. A family history with affected individuals in successive generations is highly suggestive (autosomal dominant inheritance). Blood tests can reveal certain findings associated with ferroportin disease including high levels of ferritin in the blood and, in the milder form of the disease, low or normal saturation of transferrin, another protein that plays a role in the proper transport of iron within the body. Molecular genetic testing for mutations of the SLC40A1 gene is available and necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
The treatment of ferroportin disease is directed toward the specific symptoms that are apparent in each individual. Specific treatment may depend on the severity and form of ferroportin disease.
Individuals with the form of ferroportin disease that resembles classic hemochromatosis may be treated with regular phlebotomy, a procedure in which blood is removed via a vein. Individuals with the mild form of ferroportin disease may not necessarily require treatment and phlebotomy in these individuals is often complicated by anemia.
Genetic counseling may be of benefit for affected individuals and their families. Other treatment is symptomatic and supportive.
Additional therapies have been used to treat individuals with disorder of iron overload. Such therapies include iron chelators and antioxidants. Iron chelators are drugs that bind to the excess iron in the body allowing it to be dissolved in water and excreted from the body through the kidneys. Antioxidants such as vitamin E are substances that are believed to protect cells from damage from unstable molecules called free radicals.

Blowing in the Wind
10.22.2006 -- The generals who told President Bush before the war that Donald Rumsfeld's shock-and-awe fantasy would not work were not enough to persuade him to change his strategy in Iraq. The rise of the insurgency did not do the trick. Nor did month after month of mounting military and civilian casualties on all sides, the emergence of a near civil war, the collapse of reconstruction efforts or the seeming inability of either Iraqi or American forces to secure contested parts of Iraq, including Baghdad, for any significant period.
So what finally, after all this time, caused Mr. Bush to very publicly consult with his generals to consider a change in tactics in Iraq? The president, who says he never reads political polls, is worried that his party could lose some of its iron grip on power in the Congressional elections next month.
It is not necessarily a bad thing when a politician takes stock of his positions in the teeth of an election. Our elected leaders are expected to heed the will of the American people. And this page has been part of a chorus of pleas for Mr. Bush to come up with a more realistic approach to Iraq.
But the way this sudden change of heart has come about, after months in which Mr. Bush has brushed off all criticism of his policies as either misguided, politically motivated or downright disloyal to America, is maddening. For far too long, the White House has looked upon the war as a tactical puzzle for campaign strategists. The early notion of combining Iraq and the war on terror as an argument for re-electing Republicans robbed the nation of any serious chance for a bipartisan discussion of these life-and-death issues. More recently, the administration seems to have been working under the assumption that its only obligations were to hang on, talk tough and pass the problem on to the next president.
The Iraqi government, which has had a hard time adopting most aspects of American democracy, seems to have eagerly embraced this administration's lessons on how to deny politically unpleasant realities. Just the other day, The Times reported that the Pentagon had decided there was nothing wrong with a program in which phony "positive news" was planted in Iraqi newspapers. And news reports said that the Iraqi government had decided to stop reporting civilian casualties to the United Nations so there would be no record of the war's increasing toll on ordinary Iraqis.
The way the Bush team is stage-managing the president's supposed change of heart about "staying the course" is unfair to the Americans who have taken him at his word that real progress is being made in Iraq - a dwindling but still significant number of people, some of whom have sons and daughters serving in the conflict. It is a disservice to the troops, who were never sent to Iraq in sufficient numbers to protect themselves or the Iraqi people. And it is a disservice to all Americans, who have waited so long for Mr. Bush to act that all that is left are a series of unpleasant choices.
And it is happening in the midst of a particularly ugly, and especially vacuous, election season. There is probably no worse time to begin a serious discussion about Iraq policy than two weeks before a close, bitter election. But now that the discussion has begun, it must continue, as honestly and openly as possible. It is time for the American people to confront all the things that the president never had the guts to tell them about for three and a half years. The New York Times

Golden, delicious vegan vanilla cupcakes with a gooey, yummy chocolate ganache frosting.
My husband, Desi, loves cupcakes. So last week, for his birthday, I surprised him with these Golden Vanilla Cupcakes with a Chocolate Ganache Frosting.
Given how delicious these are, it is almost surprising how easy they are to make. And they are, of course, completely vegan.
I thought these up also partly for Madhuram's creative egg replacement event. Her egg substitute for this month is egg replacer powder.
I usually use a small amount of cornstarch in my cupcakes to help bind them, but the egg replacer, which is basically a mixture of various kinds of starches, worked very well as a substitute. ( I just realized as I wrote this that the egg replacer here is a substitute for a substitute. Hilarious!)
Ok, time to stop the prattle and get on with the recipe. I am also sending this out to Alka for her thoughtful event, Just for You, because this cupcake was made for my most special guy.
Thanks, Madhuram and Alka, for hosting these lovely events.
Vanilla cupcakes with chocolate ganache
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened vegan chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp confectioners' sugar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- Heat the almond milk to a simmer, then take off the heat.
- Add the chocolate chips and stir until you have a smooth ganache. Add the sugar and maple syrup and stir in thoroughly.
- Allow the ganache to cool thoroughly before frosting the cupcakes.
- The ganache will be gooey at the beginning, but it will firm up after a few minutes.
- Enjoy!
Vanilla cupcakes
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp egg replacer powder
- 1 cup almond or soy milk
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 3/4 cup turbinado sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- Mix together the almond or soy milk and vinegar and set aside for five minutes to curdle.
- In a bowl, sift together the flour, egg replacer powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the oil, sugar, almond/soy milk mixture and vanilla until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the flour gradually, beating until it is thoroughly incorporated.
- Line a muffin or cupcake pan with cupcake liners and fill each liner with the cupcake batter about 2/3rds full. I get about 10 cupcakes from this recipe.
- Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Place on a rack to cool thoroughly before removing the cupcakes to frost.

Colton Walls, a sophomore linebacker who started his career at Clemson, is among the non-scholarship players to join the Ole Miss football team this spring.
Rebel fans will be quite familiar with his last name. Colton's father, Wesley Walls, was an All-America tight end/linebacker for the Rebels in 1988 and went on to a successful 14-year NFL career that included five Pro Bowl appearances. Just last week, Wesley was one of 77 players named to the ballot for the College Football Hall of Fame.
Colton is the next in a long line of father/son combos to play for Ole Miss through the years. Names like Archie, Cooper and Eli Manning come to mind. And others, like Poole, Luke, Shows, Kinard. Current Rebel wide receiver Jordan Holder is the son of two-time Ole Miss captain Jamie Holder.
Spring practice starts this Sunday at 3 p.m. All practices are open to the public. Here's a link to the full spring schedule.
The up-to-date 2013 roster entering spring practice is online at OleMissSports.com. Other walk-ons joining the team this spring include DB Josh Gregory, OL Tyler Mt. Joy, RB Darryan Ragsdale and OL Park Stevens.
