From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Melissa Block.
And I'm Robert Siegel.
A fast-moving winter storm is barreling across the mid-Atlantic and up the East Coast today. Some places are expecting up to a foot of snow. The blizzard conditions from Virginia to Massachusetts will be followed by bitterly cold temperatures. NPR's Allison Keyes reports.
ALLISON KEYES, BYLINE: At a Giant store in northeast Washington, D.C., people were lining up to stock up as gobs of powdery snow fell in this notoriously precipitation-phobic city.
KEVIN RUSH: Trying to beat the last-minute rush.
KEYES: Kevin Rush is a District of Columbia native and he knows the drill. Worried people filled the aisles with baskets full of gallons of milk and toilet paper and scrambled over cans of soup and loaves of bread.
RUSH: People panicking right now, and I just wanted to get some things to hold me over.
DAVID PRESTWOOD: People still seem to stock up on groceries like it's the apocalypse.
KEYES: David Prestwood lives in D.C., but he's from Minneapolis and thinks the concern over snow in this area is overkill.
PRESTWOOD: We've had so many cancellations of school and closures of the government for slush days. I'm hoping that we have some real snow on the ground.
KEYES: The federal government is shut down in Washington today, as are many local governments and schools in the area. Schools in several states, including Connecticut and New Jersey, are sending students home early. Chris Vaccaro at the National Weather Service says this storm is affecting a densely populated area.
CHRIS VACCARO: We're looking at a swath of heavy snow from West Virginia and Virginia, basically from the Central Appalachians through the mid-Atlantic, and then up into southern New England.
KEYES: Vaccaro says the snowfall will continue to intensify as the evening wears on, with widespread snowfalls of at least six inches and much more in some areas. He says it's not going to be much better tomorrow, even though it's expected to stop snowing, thanks to high winds and low temperatures.
VACCARO: Very cold air is moving in its wake.
MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO: This is going to be a particularly frigid night.
KEYES: In New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio is asking people to take care of their neighbors and themselves by staying inside as much as possible.
BLASIO: Just be careful about any prolonged exposure in this kind of weather.
KEYES: Thousands of flights have been cancelled from the mid-Atlantic to New England. Power companies such as Atlantic City Electric are bracing for outages caused by heavy snow on trees, which may then knock down power lines. Officials from Delaware and Maryland to Virginia are urging people not to drive if possible. But people like Victor Acevedo have no choice.
VICTOR ACEVEDO: It's been kind of tough. Just got to be patient.
KEYES: Acevedo is a trucker who drove from Wisconsin to the Flying J Truck Stop, just east of Gary, Indiana. Traffic on westbound Interstate 80/94 into Illinois was stalled thanks to thick lake-effect snow falling. He says his route today could have been worse.
ACEVEDO: We drive all over, so you go into Michigan, the state of Michigan, it's always bad up there, you know?
KEYES: Back in Washington, D.C., Steven Nyman was shopping at Giant and taking advantage of being the boss of his small business, despite all the closures in the area.
STEVEN NYMAN: I'm the owner so I made everybody come into work.
KEYES: But he says he's planning to be part of a really good snowball fight a little later.
NYMAN: Down on H Street with my 2-year-old son and me.
KEYES: Isn't he a little young for a snow battle?
NYMAN: I think we'll just be tossing snow up in the air though.
KEYES: And look on the bright side, only two more months of winter. Allison Keyes, NPR News, Washington. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Big East M5: 01.03.13 EditionPosted by Dan Lyons on January 3rd, 2013
- With Syracuse's 78-53 takedown of Rutgers at the Carrier Dome last night, Jim Boeheim took sole ownership of second place on the Division I all-time wins list with 903 victories, passing Bob Knight. These first few months of the season have been eventful for Boeheim, whose ascent up this list has been the focus of tremendous media attention and occasional scrutiny this season. In weighing in on Boeheim's ranking among the greatest coaches of all-time, Rob Dauster notes the affect that a single Keith Smart jumper has had on Boeheim's perception. If that shot doesn't fall, Boeheim is two wins ahead of Knight, has the same number of national titles (two) as the man who many consider the greatest game coach of all-time, and many writers have a lot less material come March.
- USF and UCF have played twice this season, splitting two contests that foreshadow what may develop into a nice rivalry for whatever the future of the Big East holds. Tampa Bay Online's Joey Johnston argues that the rivalry between the two schools could become a staple for the new look Big East, or whichever conference the two schools find themselves attached to in the future. Johnston believes that the natural rivalry and the high number of television sets in the I-4 corridor makes the two schools very attractive. Let the lobbying begin.
- Buzz Williams' 48-hour suspension from the Marquette basketball team has now ended, and the fiery coach will rejoin the team in preparation for Georgetown. Williams' suspension stemmed from assistant coach Scott Monarch giving apparel and rides to a Golden Eagles recruit. Monarch, a close friend of Williams, was summarily fired. Williams was not found to have had any knowledge of the violations, but he took the school-sanctioned leave as the program is ultimately his responsibility. Marquette defeated UConn in overtime during Williams' absence from the team.
- Pittsburgh's two losses to Michigan and Cincinnati had a very similar feel to them, and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Ray Fittipaldo outlines three major factors that hurt the Panthers in both games: a lack of rebounding in the second half, especially from the center position; struggles against talented, aggressive guards on the perimeter; and, opposing teams limiting the Panthers' transition game. If Pitt can't solve these issues soon, the team will have major struggles in league play. Syracuse has a strong interior presence, Louisville has excellent high-energy guard play, and Georgetown will absolutely look to control the game's tempo, just to name three teams who will look to take advantage of these weaknesses.
- Syracuse.com's Mike Waters was asked about his all-time Big East team in his weekly mailbag. This is a fun exercise that I'm sure will come up on many sites and blogs this year, especially around Big East Tournament time. Waters weighs in on a number of Big East greats before settling on a strong starting five consisting of Sherman Douglas, Ray Allen, Chris Mullin, Derrick Coleman, and Patrick Ewing. When a conference could have a second team of Allen Iverson, Kerry Kittles, Carmelo Anthony, Donyell Marshall, and Alonzo Mourning, you know that they've been doing something right for a very long time.

Decision : CONF 204 VIII.3
Iguacu National Park (Brazil)
VIII.3 Iguacu National Park (Brazil)
The Committee noted that an oil spill that occurred 600 km from the site did not have any major impact on the site. The Committee recognised that the illegal opening and the use of the Colon Road is the most immediate threat to the site and learned that IBAMA has allocated the equivalent of US $560,000 to support action related to the closure of the road and to restore areas affected by road construction. The Committee was informed that the Brazilian participant at the workshop held in Amman, Jordan had informed the Centre and IUCN of other potential threats posed by expanding agricultural lands outside of the northeastern sectors of the Park that would require systematic monitoring. The Committee commended the State Party for its persistence in strictly enforcing the Federal legal decision to close the Colon Road and urged the State Party to communicate the reasons for the closure of the road to the wider public and take all necessary actions to restore the World Heritage area affected by road construction activities. The Committee invited the State Party to report to the Centre, before 15 April 2001, on progress to ensure effective closure of the Colon Road and rehabilitate impacted areas. The State Party was also requested to provide an up-date on the results of monitoring the impacts of the oil spill that occurred in July 2000. The Committee retained the site in the List of World Heritage in Danger.

A man with alleged links to the UN gang who is accused of conspiring to murder the Bacon brothers and their associates appeared in court Wednesday seeking to be released on bail.
B.C. Supreme Court Associate Chief Justice Austin Cullen imposed a publication ban on the evidence, submissions made and reasons for judgment given at the bail hearing for Amir Eghtesad.
The accused was arrested last August, a week following the gangland slaying of gangster Jonathan Bacon in Kelowna. The investigation is ongoing into the Bacon murder but no charges have been laid to date.
Eghtesad, 30, is charged with one count of conspiring to kill the Abbotsford brothers and their associates in the Red Scorpions gang.
Wearing a black shirt and blue jeans, the accused sat quietly in the prisoner's dock during the hearing in Vancouver.
Members of his family sat in the public gallery behind him.
The hearing is expected to run for two days.
Eghtesad's arrest came two years after eight UN gang members or associates were arrested and charged with conspiring to murder the same targets.
In January 2011, five of those accused — Dan Russell, Dilun Heng, Karwan Saed, Ion Kroitoru, Barzan Tilli-Cholli and Young Lee — were also charged with first-degree murder in the 2008 slaying of Jonathan Barber and the attempted murder of his girlfriend, Vicky King.
Cory "Frankie" Vallee is also charged in the Barber murder and attempted murder of King.
Vallee and Conor D'Monte — both of whom remain at large — have also been charged with first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of Red Scorpions member Kevin LeClair, who was a close friend of the Bacons.
The UN gang case remains in pre-trial hearings.

I've had these headphones for 3 years, and they are an absolutely addicting sound. You know its not necessarily that they give you a kicking bass — which they do, or a particular rich sound, rather that you can wear them for hours and your ears don't get tired nor sick of the sound. The best way to describe the sound of these headphones is warm. Very very warm. In fact like real warmth, they tend to be best enjoyed after being outside in cold weather. I come home and stick these on in my warm house and it gives me a really good feeling.
The other reviews have covered this as well, but there is something special about the bass. I once had this song which had a really punching bass for the first 20 seconds, and it literally felt like your ears were being plucked. Unfortunately I forgot that song, nor was the rest of the song particularly good.
ONE LAST THING, I have to mention that mine have sprung wire problems twice. Each time I used a soldering iron to cut down the wire a bit and resolder. First time was on the headphone end — I gotta give the headphones credit for having a nice big user-friendly panel under which there is enough room for even a big solder iron to do its job effectively. Most headphones can't be opened and resoldered at the headphone end. Then the wire tore at the end of the socket. Anyway suffice to say, the cord is not bombproof and you might have to solder it, or take it to an electrician sometime or another.
EXCELLENT Sound
Good for long listening sessions — you don't get sick of the sound
User-friendly repair of wire at the heaphone end.
Wires do brake once in a while — but unless you want a much thicker wire than thats just the way it goes. At least it can be repaired.

IPOD Headphones – HORRRIBBBLEEE. In reality, while small heaphones can be made to sound good, the size of their cones guarantees that the listening will hardly ever be as enjoyable as bigger headphones.

Several cities and states across the nation are now adding bicycle paths and walking trails to their list of transportation priorities as lifestyles become increasingly sedentary and congested roads need repair.
Pennsylvania joins Colorado and Delaware in changing gears and investing in infrastructure. In September, California boosted state funding for projects that improve walking, bicycling and safer routes to schools by 35 percent.
For the first time, Pennsylvania dedicated $10 million of its five-year transportation funding initiative, expected to total $2.4 billion, for programs to create sidewalks, bike lanes and other pedestrian facilities. These programs will receive $2 million a year from an annual $144 million Multi-Modal fund that also supports aviation, rail freight, passenger rail, ports and waterways. After allocations are made, proponents of pedestrian and bicycle initiatives can bid for remaining Multi-Modal funds every year, along with the other modes of transportation.
"Many communities lack safe and well-designed walking and biking routes, so including them within transportation plans will help create more active communities, more balanced transportation systems and cost-effective opportunities to improve physical activity and overall health," said Jill Birnbaum, vice president of state advocacy for the American Heart Association, which worked with Keystone Transportation Funding Coalition and Walk and Ride PA in encouraging the state Legislature to allocate the funds.
Studies have found that community design and development can affect physical activity and obesity rates. Safe sidewalks, green spaces, parks, public transportation help lower the risk for developing chronic disease. But communities no longer invest in the infrastructure like they once did.
It's because communities are being developed for cars, not people, said Margo Pedroso, deputy director of the Safe Routes to School National Partnership. The percentage of children walking or biking to school has dropped dramatically, from 50 percent in 1969 to 13 percent in 2009.
Post-World War II growth patterns and street designs tend to favor the automobile over walking and bicycling, according to the Complete Streets Coalition, part of the nonprofit organization Smart Growth America.
In addition, the growth of suburban housing developments characterized by cul-de-sacs now feed traffic into a few main thoroughfares, which eliminate direct routes and make many destinations farther away, according to Charles Montgomery, author of "Happy City, Transforming our Lives through Urban Design." He writes, "Connectivity counts: More intersections mean more walking, and more disconnected cul-de-sacs mean more driving. People who live in neighborhoods with latticework-like streets actually drive 26 percent fewer miles than people in the cul-de-sac forest."
People do tend to like more walkable communities, according to a National Association of Realtors survey that showed buyers prefer neighborhoods with houses, stores and businesses that are easy to reach by foot. Nearly half of the survey's participants also said there weren't enough safe bike routes.
Some cities are joining states in increasing biking routes, such as Portland, Ore., which has been working on adding bikeway infrastructure. Today, more than 60 percent of Portland homes are within a half-mile of a neighborhood bikeway, according to the city. That's up from 29 percent in 2006.
Meanwhile, New York City, Chicago and San Francisco all have recently participated in bike-share programs, in which bicycles are available at low or no cost for short-term public use.
As states and cities look at the transportation options, some officials are concerned about how to finance the expansion of walking and cycling options. The St. Louis County Council in Missouri changed a proposal that would have required every new road project in the county to incorporate elements of "Complete Streets," instead passing a bill Jan. 22 that required that costs be considered and projects to receive county council approval.
The bill will replace one passed in 2010 that encouraged Complete Streets when they were "practical, economically feasible and maintainable."
Complete Streets are designed and operated to provide safe access for all users — motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users, the elderly, and the disabled, according to the Missouri Complete Streets Information Center.
The Complete Streets bill passed 6-0, with one abstention from the St. Louise county council. David G. Wrone, spokesperson for the St. Louis County Departments of Highways and Traffic and Public Works, praised the bill for addressing the financial implications and engineering requirements of Complete Streets projects.
Cities can save money if they create walking and bicycling routes when new roads are built, versus adding them to existing roads, and bicycling, walking and public transportation cost a fraction of overall transportation costs, according to the National Complete Streets Coalition.
Providing safe, planned areas for getting physical activity, including walking to school is a key focus of the AHA's Voices for Healthy Kids program, which is working with the Safe Routes to School National Partnership and other organizations to reduce childhood obesity. The groups will continue to support state and community advocacy to increase walking and bicycling.
Voices for Healthy Kids is a collaboration between the American Heart Association and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation that's working to reverse childhood obesity and improve the health of all communities. There are now more than 23.5 million children and teens in the U.S. who are overweight or obese. Voices for Healthy Kids advocates for changes to local, state, and federal policies that help young people eat healthier foods and be more active.

Lincoln Atwood is currently an inmate at the Alderney State Correctional Facility. He is serving a life sentence for robbing a liquor store and shooting a police officer in the process.
High school years
Lincoln attended Graysford Academy, which is most likely a private school telling by its name. He was a graduate in the class of 1998. Which suggests he would have been a student at Graysford from 1994-1998. He apparently was doing well after high school according to his bio on Hornyhighschoolreunions.com. He states he moved in with his girlfriend, found a good job working as a mechanic and was setting up a plan for a family.
One night, sometime in 2005 Lincoln was under the influence of whiskey and PCP and decided to rob a liquor store. He claims it sounded like a good idea at the time. An officer that responded to the call was shot by Lincoln, dying instantly.
Lincoln is serving three years into a life sentence in the Alderney State Correctional Facility during the events of Grand Theft Auto IV. He happens to be the "prison bitch" of a biker going by the name of Digger Brass. If Lincoln graduated on time he must have been twenty five years old at the time of his arrest. Making him twenty eight years old by the events of GTA IV. He states he only wants cigarettes and a visit from his high school friends. Apparently, Digger tends to force Lincoln to shave his legs and also sleeps with Lincoln in his bed.
Strangely, Atwood doesn't have a file on the LCPD database.

Artima has released ScalaTest 1.0, an open-source testing framework that speed ups the testing process for Java-based applications by reducing the number of lines of code required in testing. Additionally, ScalaTest can run on multiple processor cores for parallel testing.
With ScalaTest, which is released under the Apache 2.0 license, you can test either Scala or Java code. By integrating with tools such as JUnit and TestNG, Ant, and Maven, ScalaTest supposedly makes it easier to take testing to a higher, more productive level in new or existing Scala or Java projects.
ScalaTest is designed to support different kinds of testing, including unit, functional, integration, and acceptance testing, while supporting test-driven, behavior-driven, and other development methodologies.
As its name suggests, ScalaTest is written almost entirely in Scala, a hybrid functional/object programming language. Scala is a multi-paradigm language that integrates essential features of iterative object-oriented programming with the functional programming paradigm. It compiles to JVM bytecodes -- you can use Java libraries in your Scala programs and inherit from Java classes. Scala lets you isolate those parts of your code that truly need the benefits of functional programming and write everything else in Java. While there's also a version for .NET, Scala is really married to Java, having been developed by Martin Obersky, one of the designers of Java generics and the author of the current javac reference compiler.
ScalaTest was written by Bill Venners, George Berger, Josh Cough, and other contributors. ScalaTest, which is almost exclusively written in Scala, follows and improves upon the Java code and design of Artima SuiteRunner, another testing tool written primarily by Bill Venners.

'Titanic II' Will Set Sail by 2016, Costumes Included
Titanic II Renderings
The Titanic sank in the Atlantic Ocean more than 100 years ago, but is it too soon build a new one? It might be hard to believe, but plans are underway for the creation of the Titanic II, an exact replica of the fated ship that could transport passengers across the sea as soon as 2016.
Australian mining billionaire and professor Clive Palmer — and his Blue Star Line company — held a press conference in New York City on Tuesday morning to unveil the new blueprints of the Titanic II, which was first announced in 2012.
It will make its maiden voyage on 2016 from Southhampton, England to New York, carrying 2,600 passengers in 850 cabins. It will employ about 900 crew members. The length will be three inches longer than the original at 883 feet and include 18 lifeboats — enough for everyone on board.
"The area [for] passengers will be authentic with the same design and facilities, but there will be modern things such as air conditioning and other features we are debating, such as Internet on the ship," Palmer said at the press conference. "I'm against it. I think you should relax on vacation. There won't be TVs in the state rooms though."
The Titanic II has kept various features based on the class system of the early 1900s. Like the first ship, it will have a gym, Turkish baths, a squash court, a grand staircase and swimming pools. It will also retain the dining rooms for second and third class, as well as Captain Smith's sitting room, bedroom and quarters.
Passengers will also be given 1920s-era costumes, which will be included in state rooms upon arrival and will be a part of the ticket fee, to help recreate the experience. First class passengers will not be able to mingle with those in second or third class, but will be able to spend a few days in different quarters, which will require people to change clothing.
"It will really help you pretend you are in the movie," Palmer said.
Although the ticket price hasn't been yet announced, he's already received offers as high as $1 million to be on board the first voyage. As for how much the project costs, Palmer was shy to say.
"We aren't going to divulge the cost because I have enough money to pay for it," Palmer said. "Cost isn't what it is about. It's about creating a memory of the Titanic."
But how do the descendants of those who survived the original ship's voyage — and legendary sinking — feel about the project?
"I'm thrilled," Helen Benziger, the great-granddaughter of the "unsinkable" Molly Brown (played by Kathy Bates in the 1997 movie), said at the event. "The reason I agreed to be associated with the project is because the professor has assured me he will honor those passengers that perished and survived. My hope is that this will just be something that will honor them and take the trip across the Atlantic, so it can complete the voyage."
From a safety standpoint, a Blue Line representative said, "It will be the most safe cruise ship in the world when it launches."
"Anything will sink if you put a hole in it," said Palmer, noting the company is already looking into preventing worst-case scenarios. "I'm not super-superstitious. We are staying true to the original Titanic and a lot of those designs and full experience that never saw the light of day, but there will be some updates too."
The press conference — which even featured music from the film Titanic by Korean pop star Sungha Jung — was held at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, just a short distance from where the original Titanic would have docked at Pier 59. Only about 700 passengers safely arrived from that infamous trip in 1912.
Not surprisingly, the Titanic II is controversial, especially during a time when the cruise line industry has suffered some tragic incidents in the past few years.
"The Titanic stands as a monument and hope [for] everyone who came to America to fulfill their dreams. Today, we know the U.S. has become what it has become," Palmer said. "A great Republic is the best hope for the world and mankind, and the Titanic can play a big role in that."

Underground Artist of the Month July 2019
Sonic Youth were one of the most unlikely success stories of underground American rock in the '80s. Where contemporaries R.E.M. and Hüsker Dü were fairly conventional in terms of song structure and melody, Sonic Youth began their career by abandoning any pretense of traditional rock & roll conventions. Borrowing heavily from the free-form noise experimentalism of the Velvet Underground and the Stooges, and melding it with a performance art aesthetic borrowed from the New York post-punk avant-garde, Sonic Youth redefined what noise meant within rock & roll. Sonic Youth rarely rocked, though they were inspired directly by hardcore punk, post-punk, and no wave. Instead, their dissonance, feedback, and alternate tunings created a new sonic landscape, one that redefined what rock guitar could do.
EVOL The band's trio of independent late-'80s records -- EVOL, Sister, Daydream Nation -- became touchstones for a generation of indie rockers who either replicated the noise or reinterpreted it in a more palatable setting. As their career progressed, Sonic Youth grew more palatable as well, as their more free-form songs began to feel like compositions and their shorter works began to rock harder. During the '90s, most American indie bands, and many British underground bands, displayed a heavy debt to Sonic Youth, and the group itself had become a popular cult band, with each of their albums charting in the Top 100.
Confusion Is Sex Such success was unthinkable when guitarists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo formed Sonic Youth with bassist Kim Gordon in 1981. Moore had spent his childhood in Bethel, Connecticut; Ranaldo was from Long Island. Both guitarists arrived in Manhattan during the height of the New York-based post-punk no wave movement, and began performing with the avant-garde composer Glenn Branca, whose dissonant, guitar-based music provided the basis for much of Sonic Youth's early music. Moore's girlfriend Gordon had been active in the avant and no wave scenes for some time, and the pair helped stage the Noise Festival, in which the band made their live debut during the summer of 1981. At the time, Sonic Youth also featured keyboardist Anne DeMarinis and drummer Richard Edson. DeMarinis left the band shortly afterward, and the quartet recorded their eponymous debut EP, which was released on Branca's Neutral Records the following year. During 1983, Edson left the band to pursue an acting career and he was replaced by Bob Bert, who drummed on the group's debut album, Confusion Is Sex (1983). The band supported the album with their first European tour. Later that year, the group released the EP Kill Yr Idols on the German Zensor label.
Sonic Death: Early Sonic 1981-1983 Early in 1984, Moore attempted to land the band a contract with the British indie label Doublevision, but the label rejected the demos. Paul Smith, one of the owners of Doublevision, decided to form Blast First Records in order to release Sonic Youth records. Soon, he received a distribution deal from the hip U.K. indie label Rough Trade, and the band had their first label with strong distribution. During all these record label negotiations in 1984, the cassette-only live album Sonic Death: Sonic Youth Live was released on Ecstatic Peace. Bad Moon Rising, the group's first album for Blast First, was released in 1985 to strong reviews throughout the underground music press. The album was markedly different from their earlier releases -- it was the first record they made that incorporated their dissonant, feedback-drenched experimentations within relatively straightforward pop song structures. Following the release of the Death Valley '69 EP, Bert was replaced by Steve Shelley, who became the group's permanent drummer.
The Whitey AlbumBad Moon Rising had attracted significant attention throughout the American underground, including some offers from major labels. Instead, Sonic Youth decided to sign with SST, home of Hüsker Dü and Black Flag, releasing EVOL in 1986. With EVOL, the group became a fixture on college radio, and their status grew significantly with 1987's Sister, which was heavily praised by mainstream publications like Rolling Stone. The group's profile increased further with the 1988 Ciccone Youth side project The Whitey Album, which was a tongue-in-cheek tribute to Madonna and other parts of mainstream pop culture.
The band's true breakthrough came later in 1988 with the double album Daydream Nation. Released on Enigma Records, it was a tour de force that was hailed as a masterpiece upon its fall release, and it generated a college radio hit with "Teenage Riot." Though the album was widely praised, Enigma suffered from poor distribution and eventually bankruptcy, which meant the album occasionally wasn't available in stores. These factors contributed heavily to the band's decision to move to the major label DGC in 1990.
Goo Signing a contract that gave them complete creative control, as well as letting them function as pseudo-A&R reps for the label, Sonic Youth established a precedent for alternative bands moving to majors during the '90s, proving that it was possible to preserve indie credibility on a major label. Released in the fall of 1990, Goo, the band's first major-label album, boasted a more focused sound, yet it didn't abandon the group's noise aesthetics. The result was a college radio hit, and the group's first album to crack the Top 100. Neil Young invited Sonic Youth to open for him on his arena tour for Ragged Glory, and though they failed to win over much of the rocker's audience, it represented their first major incursion into the mainstream; it also helped make Young a cult figure within the alternative circles during the '90s.
Dirty For their second major-label album, Dirty, Sonic Youth attempted to replicate the sloppy, straightforward sound of grunge rockers Mudhoney and Nirvana. The band had been supporting those two Seattle-based groups for several years (and had released a split single with Mudhoney and brought Nirvana to DGC Records), and while the songs on Dirty were hardly grunge, it was more pop-oriented and accessible than earlier Sonic Youth records. Produced by Butch Vig, who also produced Nirvana's Nevermind, Dirty became an alternative hit upon its summer 1992 release, generating the modern rock hits "100%," "Youth Against Fascism," and "Sugar Kane." Sonic Youth quickly became hailed as one of the godfathers of the alternative rock that had become the most popular form of rock music in the U.S., and Dirty became a hit along with the exposure, eventually going gold.
Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No StarSonic Youth again worked with Vig for 1994's Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star, which entered the U.S. charts at number 34 and the U.K. charts at number ten, making it their highest-charting album ever. The high chart position was proof of their popularity during the previous two years, as it received decidedly mixed reviews and quickly fell down the charts. Later in 1994, Moore and Gordon -- who had married several years before -- had their first child, a daughter named Coco Haley. Sonic Youth agreed to headline 1995's American Lollapalooza package tour, using the earnings to build a new studio. Following the completion of the tour, Sonic Youth released Washing Machine, which received their strongest reviews since Daydream Nation. After a series of experimental EPs issued on their own SYR label, they resurfaced in 1998 with the full-length A Thousand Leaves. NYC Ghosts & Flowers, which featured Jim O'Rourke as a producer and musician, followed in the spring of 2000. O'Rourke became a full member of the group, touring with the band and appearing on and producing 2002's Murray Street.
Sonic Nurse The five-piece Sonic Youth returned in 2004 with Sonic Nurse; one year later, however, O'Rourke departed the band to pursue a career as a film director. Late in 2005, the remaining bandmates issued SYR 6, a recording of a benefit concert for the Anthology Film Archives that Sonic Youth had played alongside percussionist Tim Barnes. Rather Ripped, a fusion of the mellow, sprawling feel of the band's previous two albums with a more stripped-down sound, was released in 2006. In 2008, the band resurrected the SYR series: J'Accuse Ted Hughes arrived that spring as a vinyl-only release, while Andre Sider Af Sonic Youth chronicled an improvised performance at 2005's Roskilde Festival. They also assembled a compilation album for Starbucks, Hits Are for Squares, featuring the previously unreleased track "Slow Revolution." Before the busy year concluded, Sonic Youth made additional headlines by leaving the Geffen label and signing with Matador, which prepared to issue the band's 16th album, The Eternal, during the following spring. The year 2010 was relatively quiet for the band, with members concentrating on individual projects like Shelley's Vampire Blues label. They also recorded the soundtrack to French director Fabrice Gobert's film Simon Werner a Disparu, which was released early in 2011.
Smart Bar: Chicago 1985Moore and Gordon announced their impending divorce in the fall of 2011, creating doubt about the band's future past their year-end South American tour. Sonic Youth's São Paulo date that November ended up being their final concert before an indefinite hiatus. The band's members remained busy: Among their other projects, Gordon worked with experimental guitarist Bill Nace as Body/Head, and with Tomorrows Tulips' Alex Knost as Glitterbust; she also published her memoir, Girl in a Band. Moore toured and recorded with new act Chelsea Light Moving and continued his solo career. Ranaldo recorded as a solo artist and with a new band, the Dust, which featured Shelley as well as O'Rourke and guitarist Alan Licht. In addition, Shelley played with Hallogallo 2010, Disappears, and Sun Kil Moon. He also ran Sonic Youth's labels SYR and Goofin', the latter of which released the 2012 live album Smart Bar: Chicago 1985 and 2016's Spinhead Sessions, a set of 1986 rehearsals for the band's Made in USA soundtrack. Three years later, Matador Records reissued Live at Battery Park, a limited-edition bonus LP included with preorders of The Eternal, as Battery Park, NYC: July 4, 2008.

These first images of the 2012 Chevy Aveo show an econobox inspired by the angry Aveo RS concept and designed to make people forget how crappy previous generations of Aveos have been. A photo of the surprisingly attractive interior below.
The 2012 Aveo sedan maintains the same Chevy family big-mouthed grille we lauded on the RS concept, albeit with less blue-tinted headlights. It'll still be based on a Daewoo platform when it goes into production in 2011 for a 2012 release in the U.S., but it's being promoted as a competitor to the new 2011 Ford Fiesta. But will it have the ability to beat the Fiesta in its status as top-of-the-shitbox driving enjoyment? We'll have to wait and see.
The interior looks better than the current knock-off Rubbermaid-esque offering, with a two-tone dash, the new integrated control panel and, most intriguingly, a large tach with a digital information center. Remember, it's gotta be better because it could hardly be worse.

A dog's diet is dependent on many factors that you should take into careful consideration when deciding what to feed your Labrador Retrievers. Although there are already commercially prepared dog food suited for different ages and stages, it is still important that a dog owner should have basic knowledge on their dog's daily nutritional requirements. This knowledge is also a useful tool in assessing whether or not dog food which can be bought off the shelves is able to supply the nutrients needed by your dog.
Your dog's breed, age, size, and environment will often determine their nutritional needs. Labrador Retrievers, like all other dogs, also have certain food preferences as well as foods to avoid.
Protein is one of the very essential feed nutrients in a dog's diet. Nutritionists recommend that protein should comprise about a quarter of your dog's daily diet. Rich protein sources include meat, fish and milk. If possible, remove small bones from meat and fish as this can choke your dog or get stuck in their throat, needing a trip to the Veterinarian. Dog owners often can't resist giving their dog table scrapes and bones especially when their Lab keeps on nudging them during dinner time. Bones can also lead to constipation.
Almost half of a dog's daily food ration should consist of carbohydrates. This food group provides the main source of energy for your Lab. Good sources of carbohydrates include potatoes, rice, or corn.
Although dogs by nature are carnivorous, adding vegetables, fruits and cereals to your Lab's diet can help improve the process of digestion because of the fiber that these food sources provide. However, never allow your dog to have access to walnuts, chocolates, raisins, and Macadamia nuts, as they contain a substance that the dog cannot metabolize. These foods can become highly toxic for your Lab and have been known to cause death in serious cases.
About 5% of your dog's diet should come from fats. Aside from an alternative source of energy, fats are important in the absorption and utilization of fat-soluble vitamins. Wheat germ oil is a rich source of fats for your Lab.
These essential components should all be present in your dog's diet. If you don't have the time to mix your own dog food, you can still buy from pet stores. Just be sure to read what they contain and what specific breed, age, and size they have been formulated for. Determine if this commercial dog food is able to give your Lab a balanced diet to provide for its nutritional needs.
The first time that you bring your Lab puppy home, the dog breeder should have given you samples of the food that it has been given so that you can continue to give it to your puppy during the first few days until he has completely adjusted to its new surroundings. If your assessment of the dog food is good and you can afford it, then there is no reason that you should switch to another brand. If it will not fit in your budget, you can slowly switch to another brand which can be cheaper but at the same time still provide the required nutrients. A slow transition from the old food to the new one will ensure that your Lab will not suffer any stomach upsets.

We show that if the ground state energy problem of a
classical spin model is NP-hard, then there exists a choice parameters of the
model such that its low energy spectrum coincides with the spectrum of
\emph{any} other model, and, furthermore, the corresponding eigenstates match
on a subset of its spins. This implies that all spin physics, for example all
possible universality classes, arise in a single model. The latter property was
recently introduced and called ``Hamiltonian completeness'', and it was shown
that several different models had this property. We thus show that Hamiltonian
completeness is essentially equivalent to the more familiar
complexity-theoretic notion of NP-completeness. Additionally, we also show that
Hamiltonian completeness implies that the partition functions are the same.
These results allow us to prove that the 2D Ising model with fields is
Hamiltonian complete, which is substantially simpler than the previous examples
of complete Hamiltonians. Joint work with Toby Cubitt.

But a study by the Center for Popular Democracy argues that the change will unfairly impact Latino workers.
According to the study, which reviewed OSHA investigations from construction site accidents from 2003 to 2011, workers of Latino descent are at greater risk of being hurt or killed on the job site.
Latino workers were victims in 60 percent of fatal falls in New York State, while that figure rose to 74 percent when looking solely at accidents in New York City.
To narrow the figures down further, Latino workers made up 88 percent of fatal falls in Queens and 87 percent in Brooklyn. Of these workers, 86 percent of them were not working for a labor union.
"Our study explains that construction workers of color, especially immigrants, are at greater risk of death from falls because they are more likely to work for smaller, non-union construction firms that shortcut worker's safety," said Amy Carroll, deputy director of the Center for Popular Democracy. "That means that if developers and special interests get their way in Albany and gut the Scaffold Law, more people of color will die."
In 2008, Pedro Corchado was injured in a fall at a construction site.
"Almost anybody who works in construction will tell you it's hard to refuse a boss' direction to climb onto a scaffold that's not entirely safe or go up a ladder without the appropriate safety equipment," said Corchado.
Not every member of the state legislature is in favor of changing the law.
"The Scaffold Law is necessary to hold contractors responsible for safety on their work sites," said Assemblyman Francisco Moya. "If the law were gutted, it would only place already vulnerable workers in further danger of serious injury or loss of life."
Those in favor of the reform argue that the current law allows workers too much freedom to sue a contractor.
"Reforming the Scaffold Law by giving contractors and others their day in court will reduce cost of construction, create jobs and promote greater workplace safety," said Mike Elmendorf, president and CEO of Associated General Contractors of New York State. "It is a fundamental issue of fairness."

Ambition, knowledge and opportunity for space industry
Ambition, knowledge and opportunity were the main themes of the debate "Space Growth Agenda: a plan for continued growth, jobs and innovation opportunities" on Thursday in the Space Zone at the Farnborough airshow.
The event was organised by the UK space trade organisation (UKspace) and hosted by Stuart Martin, vice-chair of UKspace and Director of Space at Logica. Guests were welcomed with a speech by Stephen McPartland, Member of Parliament for Stevenage.
Lord Stephen Green, Minister of State for Trade and Industry, opened the agenda under the heading The Challenge. He emphasised the success to date in the growing UK space sector and the challenge of achieving further growth in the current economic climate.
Speeches focusing on The Ambition were made by Catherine Mealing-Jones, Director for Growth, Applications and EU Programmes at the UK Space Agency, and Magali Vaissière, ESA Director of Telecommunications and Integrated Applications, who highlighted the great, recent successes in the satcom market.
"The first large Public Private Partnerships of ESA," Magali Vaissière added, "have been initiated in the UK with Avanti Communications to develop Hylas-1 and with Inmarsat to prepare Alphasat. >
"ESA has now developed the capability to set up partnerships with private partners to develop new technologies, new infrastructures and new applications in response to user demand."
Volker Liebig, ESA Director of Earth Observation, and Keith Robson, Director Research and Enterprise Support at University of Surrey, spoke about The Knowledge and how breakthroughs in technology and science have led to many opportunities to transform knowledge into growth.
Richard Peckham, UK Business Development Director at Astrium closed the agenda with The Opportunity for space industry.

Health Care: Can Obama Swing It?
Assessing how a president is doing at any given moment runs the danger of mistaking the momentary for the long run, and failing to take into account the political realities he has to face. Judgments of Barack Obama's presidency have suffered from these failings, which in turn affect—negatively—his ability to govern. The Republicans in Congress have shown that they well understand that the more they can undermine public confidence in Obama's ability to govern, the more they can undermine his presidency. This explains why they have been so intent on portraying—against much evidence—the $787 billion economic stimulus bill as a failure.
Thus, by Labor Day of 2009, not only his health care proposal but Obama's very effectiveness as a president were widely—if not necessarily accurately—viewed as hanging by a thread. A White House aide told me that Obama was "very frustrated" by his inability to convince people that the stimulus program was working. And so, months after it had been passed, he began to explain more clearly than ever before what the program—which he insisted on calling the Recovery Act (its actual name is the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act)—was designed to do, and had already done. As was the case during the presidential campaign, Obama is sometimes slow in arriving at an effective formulation, and he presses his aides to sharpen his message. Finding a voice that is explanatory rather than oratorical can be difficult for him. This definitely has been the case with health care. On September 20, Obama told George Stephanopoulos:
There have been times where I've said I've got to step up my game in terms of talking to the American people about issues like health care. I've said to myself, somehow I'm not breaking through…. This has been a sufficiently tough, complicated issue with so many moving parts that no matter how much I've tried to keep it digestible, it's very hard for people to get their whole arms around it. That has been a case where I've been humbled and I just keep on trying harder because I really think it's the right thing to do for the country.
In fact, the question has arisen of whether Barack Obama's particular—one might say idiosyncratic—governing style is right for these times.
The circumstances in which Obama has had to govern have been daunting. The polarization between the political parties is greater than ever before in modern history—particularly as the shrinking Republican Party has come to be dominated by white conservatives, if not radicals, and it enforces discipline more harshly than in the past. Lacking any real leaders now, the Republicans' vacuum has been filled by the likes of talk-show hosts Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, whose job it is to be outrageous, and before whom Republican politicians quaver. Those who stray from the conservative orthodoxy are more likely than ever to face a challenge from the right…

Working in a harsh environment with one of the rarest fish on Earth, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service and others are doing unprecedented conservation research at a special facility within Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Nevada.
The Fish and Wildlife Service is collecting endangered Devils Hole pupfish eggs from a warm spring that is within the desert refuge but is jurisdictionally part of Californias Death Valley National Park; transporting those eggs four miles to the Ash Meadows Fish Conservation Facility; and hatching and rearing larvae in captivity. The goal is to determine if its feasible to establish a backup population using new methods developed by University of ArizonaTucson researcher Olin Feuerbacher, now a Service biologist.
So far, 33 larvae have hatched from collected eggs and 29 fish (88 percent) are alive and healthy.
This is being done to bolster the species odds of survival. Last fall, only 65 Devils Hole pupfish were observed in their only natural habitat, Devils Holean underwater cavern whose water is nearly always 92.3 degrees Fahrenheit and whose depth exceeds 432 feet.
The Devils Hole pupfish is an icon of the conservation movement and was listed as endangered in 1967, says Service biologist Darrick Weissenfluh. Devils Hole pupfish are important because they encourage us to think about our own future and the sustainability of our activities, especially groundwater use.
Weissenfluh manages the Serviceowned Ash Meadows Fish Conservation Facility, which includes a 100,000gallon stateoftheart tank system that emulates Devils Hole. The facilitys $4.5 million design and construction in 2012 was paid for with Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act funds. Various Service programs support its operation. It exists to save the Devils Hole pupfish and conduct research that benefits imperiled aquatic species.
Devils Hole pupfish have much to teach scientists about adaptation to adverse conditions, the Services Nevada Fish and Wildlife Office Web site says. It has adapted to survive in very warm water with very low oxygen content.
The inchlong iridescent blue fish has been isolated in Devils Hole for 10,000 to 20,000 years. Individual pupfish live about one year and spend most of their time on a shallow rock shelf near the surface. From the late 1970s through 1996, the population seemed to be stable, with an average count of 324 individuals. In 1997, a steady decline to last falls 65 beganfor reasons mostly unknown, but that likely involve subtle habitat changes researchers are studying.
To reduce the likelihood of extinction, the Ash Meadows facility is attempting to establish a refuge population of Devils Hole pupfish that is genetically similar to the wild populationtwo refuge populations, actually, one in aquariums this year and another in the large tank system by the end of next year.
To do that, Weissenfluh says, facility staff members, in coordination with the Park Service and Nevada Department of Wildlife, are deploying and collecting egg recovery mats in Devils Hole to collect viable (fertilized) eggs from the wild population. The mats are deployed for up to a week and then carefully transported to the facility within 45 minutes of collection. At the facility, staff members place the eggs/mats in incubation aquariums for 10 days. Eggs typically hatch in a week.
When they hatch, intensive husbandry efforts begin, as the larval fish can be finicky and a challenge to rear, Weissenfluh says. This project is just beginning, but our success to date is supporting the idea there are creative ways to conserve a species on the brink of extinction, such as collecting and propagating eggs as opposed to removing some or all of the adults from the wild.

2011 Honda CR-V Serves Up SUV Versatility with Style and Refinement
New Special Edition model adds popular features to CR-V LX
TORRANCE, Calif. – 10/15/2010 – The 2011 Honda CR-V provides a versatile and accommodating crossover SUV package with space for up to five passengers and a versatile cargo area for utility. The CR-V also provides fuel economy and refined, comfortable handling similar to a mid-size sedan.
A new model for 2011, the CR-V SE (Special Edition), adds to the standard features of the CR-V LX with alloy wheels (replaces styled-steel wheels), a 160-watt AM/FM/6-disc changer with six speakers (up from a single-disc CD and four speakers), steering wheel-mounted audio controls and rear privacy glass. The previous, 2010 model-year CR-V received a wide range of enhancements including sharpened styling, additional features on certain trim levels, higher fuel economy ratings, and increased power.
A dynamic forward cabin, a two-tiered grille and a distinctive side profile express the CR-V's emphasis on upscale style and design. Compact on the outside yet large on the inside, the interior provides a maximum passenger volume of 103.8 cu-ft. (CR-V LX), plus an accommodating cargo volume of 35.7 cu-ft. behind the rear seats. The 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine generates 180 horsepower (hp) and 161 lb-ft of torque. City/highway/combined EPA-estimated fuel-economy ratings1 are 21/28/24 miles per gallon (mpg) on 2WD models and 21/27/23 mpg on models equipped with Real Time™ 4WD.
The CR-V's interior emphasizes functionality and style. The front row storage areas are designed to accommodate items such as a handbag between the seats. For comfort, there are driver's and front passenger's center-folding armrests. A center console replaces the retractable center tray table on the CR-V EX-L with navigation.
A sliding 60/40 split second-row seat with a 40/20/40 folding seatback offers cargo versatility by sliding forward to increase cargo space, folding forward to accommodate long objects, or folding and tumbling forward to create a large, flat cargo area. Maximum possible cargo volume measures 72.9 cu-ft. with approximate floor dimensions of 51 inches long by 39 inches wide (at wheel wells). Storage potential behind the rear seat is enhanced by a dual-deck cargo shelf (CR-V EX and EX-L) that can strategically accommodate items like a folded baby stroller on the lower level and grocery bags on the upper level. The second-row seat includes a LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) child seat mounting system for all rear seat positions, allowing either two child seats to be installed in the outboard positions or one in the center.
Standard safety equipment includes: the Advanced Compatibility Engineering™ (ACE™) body structure, Vehicle Stability Assist™ (VSA®) and a pedestrian injury mitigation design in the front of the vehicle. Additional standard equipment includes side-curtain airbags with a rollover sensor; front side airbags with a passenger-side Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS); active front seat head restraints; an anti-lock braking system (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist; and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
The CR-V's unit-body construction makes extensive use of high-strength steel (58 percent) to save weight and create a high-rigidity body structure, which significantly contributes to the vehicle's ride quality, fuel efficiency and safety performance. The suspension is comprised of a front MacPherson strut layout and a rear multi-link suspension. The high-rigidity body and independent suspension offer a comfortable and engaging driving experience for a crossover SUV. State-of-the art noise absorption materials help to reduce engine and road noise for a quieter cabin.
The all-aluminum, 16-valve, Dual Overhead Camshaft (DOHC) i-VTEC engine integrates an "intelligent" version of Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control along with Variable Timing Control (VTC). Both are sophisticated valvetrain technologies designed to enhance fuel economy and power output while reducing exhaust emissions. The VTEC portion of the system hydraulically adjusts the intake valves' rocker arms for lift and duration to help optimize engine efficiency for low- and high-RPM ranges. The VTC aspect of i-VTEC allows for continuously variable phasing of the intake camshaft, which helps improve engine torque, promote a smooth engine idle, and create an internal exhaust gas recirculation effect for reduced emissions.
The CR-V comes standard with an electronically controlled 5-speed automatic transmission that uses an active lockup torque converter. Wide overall ratios help maximize acceleration in gears one through four and optimize fuel economy in its overdrive fifth gear. Grade Logic Control helps to reduce gear "hunting" on hilly roads. The available Real Time™ 4WD system – ideal for enhanced traction on snow, rain, dirt roads and sandy conditions – sends power to the rear wheels automatically when needed. Real Time 4WD's always-ready and fully automatic dual-pump system hydraulically proportions rear-wheel torque via multi-plate clutches.
The CR-V is available in four model choices, each offered in either front-wheel-drive or Real Time 4WD. Standard comfort and convenience features on the CR-V LX include air conditioning with air-filtration system, keyless entry, tilt-and-telescopic steering column, cruise control, power windows with auto-up/down driver's window, power door and tailgate locks, AM/FM/CD audio system with four speakers, fuel economy meter and 17-inch steel wheels.
The CR-V SE adds or replaces to the CR-V LX: a 160-watt AM/FM/6-disc changer with six speakers, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, rear privacy glass and alloy wheels.
The CR-V EX adds to the CR-V SE: a one-touch power moonroof with tilt feature, security system, dual-deck cargo shelf, exterior temperature indicator, vanity mirror lights and a digital compass.
The CR-V EX-L adds or replaces to the CR-V EX: leather-trimmed seats and armrests; heated front seats; body colored side mirrors and door handles; XM® Radio2; a USB Audio Interface; and auto on/off headlights. Available on the CR-V EX-L is the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System with Voice Recognition and rearview camera, which also adds a premium audio system with 7-speakers including subwoofer and Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®, center console storage unit (replaces retractable center tray) and a 6-disc CD changer in the center console (replaces in-dash changer).
Colors for 2011 include Opal Sage Metallic, Royal Blue Pearl, Taffeta White, Glacier Blue Metallic, Polished Metal Metallic, Alabaster Silver Metallic, Crystal Black Pearl, Tango Red Pearl and Urban Titanium Metallic. Interior color choices, determined by exterior color, include Ivory, Black or Gray.
The CR-V continues to be the best-selling SUV in the United States for the fourth straight year in a row with calendar-year 2009 results of 191,214. The CR-V is sold in 160 countries throughout North America, Europe, Asia, South America and Africa. U.S.-market CR-Vs are assembled at the Honda of America Manufacturing, Inc., East Liberty Auto Plant in Ohio from domestic and globally sourced parts.

Recently I went to the BFI Southbank, the British Film Institute cinema in London, to see Notorious (1946) by Alfred Hitchcock.
Throughout this month, the British Film Institute is celebrating the 'Genius of Hitchcock', a festival showcasing some of the work by this master of suspense, who was born in London in 1899 and died in California in 1980.
For those unfamiliar with Hitchcock, his most famous movies include Psycho (1960), The Birds (1963), Marnie (1964), Rear Window (1954), and Vertigo (1958). He made many other amazing films, mixing suspense and humour, such as Strangers on a Train (1951) (remade by Danny DeVito as Throw Mamma from the Train (1987)), The Trouble with Harry (1955) and Rope (1948). (Prior IntLawGrrls posts on Hitchcock here and here.)
research on human rights and film, and Notorious seemed to present the opportunity to do so.
The movie is a film noir thriller, combining suspense with romance. It begins with the trial and conviction of a Mr Huberman for treason – a law connection. His daughter, Alicia Huberman (played by Ingrid Bergman (right)), is contacted by one Devlin (played by Cary Grant), and asked to go to Brazil to spy on Nazi friends of her father. (poster credit) US secret agents want to know what the Nazis are doing in Rio. Alicia agrees, and soon Devlin and Alicia begin a passionate affair, unaware of the details of the task. However, Alicia must use her female charms to get herself into the close circle of the leader, Alexander Sebastian (played by Claude Rains). She thus places her love and her life at risk.
The film recalls events in real life:
A number of Americans were prosecuted following the end of the Second World War for treason on account of their participation in the Third Reich. For example, Mildred Gillars and Rita Zucca, known as Axis Sallys, were American broadcasters employed to disseminate Nazi propaganda who were prosecuted by the US. Mostly famously, 'Tokyo Rose' Iva Toguri D'Aquino, an American citizen, was prosecuted and convicted for treason in 1949 following public outcry over her role in the propaganda programme, the Zero Hour aired on Radio Tokyo.

I was at the Cathedral today instead of my parish. 27 adults were received into the Catholic church. Hooray! I'd estimate that a little less than half were catechumens. Also as usual, the rector gave a great homily. Happy Sunday to all.

Thanks for the info you emailed me about the new (co-)cathedral. Neat! I don't usually get too into cathedrals out of some sort of strange agoraphobia--they're just too BIG for me and I get all distracted in mass, cuz I feel like I'm a museum or something. But this one looks pretty cool. Still, I have to wonder at the expense to build one of these structures when people are going hungry and sleeping in the streets. That's not a criticism of the Houston/Galveston Archdiocese, just something I always wonder about when I hear of the Church spending massive sums of money on things that are not of DIRECT palliative benefit to the poor.

It's not all about dollar and cents, though. There is incalculable value in beauty. The art, architecture, and adornment of worship space helps us to remember the awesomeness that is God. It's not just "another roof and four walls." A cathedral is meant to last for generations upon generations. It is a testament to our faith and a gift to all. It is a sacred space. May it be built such that all who enter cannot help but lift mind and heart to God.
