"Going green" is a trend that is taking the fashion industry by storm! Designers today are stretching themselves outside the box of conventional design. No longer are they just relying on the fabric stores to provide the materials for their pieces, but second hand stores, recycled materials, bottle caps, and paper. They are taking these pieces, which already have a designed purpose, and repurposing them to create bold, new fashion trends. The options at ones finger tips are literally endless.
The purpose of this year's show, Go Green, Go Glam, is to give the student designers a chance to express their talents, as well as support Channel Initiative, which aims to build hope among the undeserved women and children in the war-torn and rebel-controlled Democratic Republic of Congo
All fashion garments are designed and constructed by Liberty University students.

Our mission is to reach and respond to the urgent needs of under-served, vulnerable populations worldwide.
We do this through creating a forum for nonprofit organizations, mission-minded businesses, churches, governments and activists around the world to
collaborate and channel resources into creating the most effective, locally-owned and empowerment-focused solutions to the most pressing needs of the most at-risk people worldwide.
We believe that one of the keys to rebuilding peace in the DRC is to empower women to become full actors in their communities.
Health is our platform to do just that, to restore community and rebuild hope. Together with Panzi Foundation DRC, we are working to scale their unique holistic care model into this rural and under-reached area, so that women and their families will finally have access to high quality primary health care that does not only treat, but restores.

|English abstract
|The thesis is devoted to the homogenization of singular convection-diffusion equations and spectral problems with sign-changing density function. It consists of two parts. The first one contains both qualitative and asymptotic results for solutions of stationary and non-stationary convection-diffusion equations in bounded or unbounded domains. Among the studied problems are qualitative problem for a convection-diffusion equation in a semi-infinite cylinder, homogenization of convection-diffusion models in thin cylinders and asymptotic problems for non-stationary convection-diffusion equations with large convection term in bounded domains. The second part of the thesis deals with the homogenization of elliptic spectral problems with sign-changing density function. We show that the asymptotic behaviour of the spectrum depends crucially on whether the density average over the period is zero or not, and construct the asymptotics of the spectrum in both these cases.

These new airships aren't your father's blimps
A slew of next-generation lighter-than-air flying machines promise to do amazing feats, though problems remain.
Lighter-than-air flight systems were developed more than a century ago and, for the most part, were considered obsolete after World War II.
But the military and some commercial ventures have taken up a new generation of hybrid airships that are a far cry from the zeppelins or dirigibles seen in the old black-and-white newsreels -- or even the modern blimps seen floating over sporting events.
Earlier this year the mylar-skinned Aeroscraft, developed by Worldwide Aeros, underwent test flights at a former military base in Orange Country, Calif. According to The Associated Press, NASA and the Pentagon invested $35 million in the aluminum and carbon fiber skeleton prototype, which designers hope can eventually set aircraft records for carrying cargo.
"You could take this vehicle and go to destinations that have been destroyed, where there's no ports, no runways, stuff like that," Aeros mechanical engineer Tim Kenny told AP. "The Aeroscraft could go in there, offload the cargo even if there's no infrastructure, no landing site for it to land on, this vehicle can unload its whole payload."
Aeros is said to be looking for additional funding to build a full-size, 450-foot-long version that can carry 66 tons of cargo.
Funding, however, can be a major challenge. German company Cargolifter went through about $500 million before going out of business in 2002, without even producing a prototype.
The military is considering a wide spectrum of uses for these new aircraft, well beyond those of cost-efficient cargo planes. According to a U.S. Government Accountability Office report, the Department of Defense spent about $1.3 billion in fiscal 2012 to develop and acquire numerous aerostats (lighter-than-air platforms that are tethered to the ground) and free-flying airships.
Among the major defense contractors working in this area are Northrop Grumman (NOC), with its Long Endurance Multi Intelligence Vehicle (LEMV, pictured), an unmanned intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft that Northrop says can spend three weeks in the air; and Lockheed Martin (LMT), which has developed a multipurpose Hybrid Air Vehicle that can be manned or unmanned and used for both intelligence and transport missions.
But it's not all blue skies for these vehicles. In October, Aviation Week noted LEMV production was months behind and facing issues with its weight and "on-station endurance." It also highlighted other, similar programs that had been shelved or terminated as the Pentagon weighs drastic budget cuts. "Are airships back?" the magazine asked. "Our guess -- maybe not."
Another major challenge for these next-generation airships is the same one their majestic predecessors faced: high winds and extreme weather conditions. But as Scientific American noted in 2011, the world has changed radically since the days of the ill-fated Hindenburg. Advancements in aerodynamics, engine and structural design and materials technology have made modern airships more durable.
"Today's satellite weather forecasts, GPS-tracking, radar, computer-controlled avionics and in-flight management systems," the magazine also notes, "have paved the way for this new wave of hybrid airships."

17-year-old sentenced to life in prison for Fairhill murder
A judge today sentenced 17-year-old Radames Sanabria for life in prison without the possibility of parole for the 2010 murder of a 14-year-old Fairhill boy.
Sanabria on Aug. 10, 2010 allegedly became involved in an argument with victim Jerome Carlyle, Jr., who investigators said he did not know prior to that day. The reason for the dispute is still unknown, but prosecutors said Sanabria pulled out his gun less than a minute after the two began exchanging words.
Sanabria shot the unarmed Carlyle, Jr. four times and was on Oct. 23, 2012 convicted by a jury of first degree murder, possessing an instrument of crime and firearms violations.
Judge Linda Carpenter handed down the life sentence today despite a recently-passed law lifting the state's mandatory minimum sentence of life in prison or death for juveniles convicted of first degree murder.
According to a release from the District Attorney's Office, Carpenter considered the factors required under the new statute, but found that life without parole was still the appropriate sentence for Sanabria.

Your child will love having these colorful creations hanging around. And with countless design possibilities, she can easily craft an entire collection of one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces.
To make one, first fold a 10-inch piece of 24-gauge wire in half, twisting a loop in the middle for a hanger. Thread beads and charms onto both sections at the same time for a head and body, then separate the sections and add more beads and charms to each one to create the legs. Trim the ends, if needed, then curl them with jewelry pliers to keep the beads in place. For arms, twist a 4-inch piece of wire around the body, just below the head. Thread on beads, then trim and curl the wire ends. Finally, string the bead buddy onto a chain for a necklace.

For immediate release – 3/11/13Director of Communications Rita Elliott, 815-226-3374The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) honored Rockford College as a leader among institutions of higher education for its support of volunteering, service-learning, and civic engagement. For the fifth consecutive year, Rockford College has been named to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for engaging its students, faculty and staff in meaningful service that achieves measurable results in the community.
The CNCS, which has administered the Honor Roll since 2006, admitted a total of 690 colleges and universities for their impact on issues from literacy and neighborhood revitalization to supporting at-risk youth. Combined, the Honor Roll awardees engaged 3.1 million students in community service for a total of 118 million service hours. That's $2.5 billion in value to communities across the country.
Rockford College's commitment to service goes back to the college's very beginnings 166 years ago. The example was set by three trustees who in 1847, with the city yet unincorporated, mortgaged their homes so a female seminary could be created – establishing a legacy of lasting service to the Rockford region. That dedication to service continues today through campus organizations like the Jane Addams Center for Civic Engagement (JACEE), named after Rockford College alumnae and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Jane Addams. The Center works to inspire students to be aware, active and engaged citizens through peace and global citizenship, public life and social activism, and meeting the needs of its neighbors.
CNCS oversees the Honor Roll in collaboration with the U.S. Departments of Education and Housing and Urban Development, Campus Compact, and the American Council on Education. Honorees are chosen based on a series of selection factors, including the scope and innovation of service projects, the extent to which service-learning is embedded in the curriculum, the school's commitment to long-term campus-community partnerships, and measurable community outcomes as a result of the service. For a full list of recipients and descriptions of their service, visit http://www.nationalservice.gov/about/initiatives/honorroll.asp.

Secondary Coach Warren on at 7 p.m. Tonight
By Randy York
Charlton Warren, above, is the newest assistant on Bo Pelini's coaching staff and will be featured on Nebraska football's weekly radio show on the Huskers Sports Network (HSN) from 7 to 8 p.m. Wednesday night. The lineup for HSN's monthly Talk to the Director of Athletics Show has been set for the same timeslot on Thursday night. Nebraska head coaches Dave Harris (cross country) and Ashley Rose (rifle) are Thursday guests in the show's third segment. Veteran Lincoln runner Sarah Larson will be Shawn Eichorst's fourth-segment guest. Studio host Greg Sharpe will interview all guests on both nights.
Warren joined Nebraska's football staff after spending nine years on the defensive staff at the Air Force Academy, where he was a standout defensive back for the Falcons in the late 1990s. In his final two years at Air Force, Warren was the Academy's associate head coach and defensive coordinator, and he has reinforced that reputation since his arrival at Nebraska last February.
Harris is in his second year as head cross country coach for the men's and women's teams. Also the distance coach for NU's men's and women's track and field teams, Harris coached previously at Emporia State University in Kansas. Larson, a graduate of Lincoln Northeast High School, was the Huskers' MVP runner in 2012 and named team captain in 2013. The only three-time letterwinner on the Nebraska women's cross country roster this fall, Larson is expected to miss the entire 2014 season with a leg injury. A scholar-athlete honoree, Larson has earned the Hero Leadership Award twice at Nebraska and was a member of the inaugural Tom Osborne Citizenship Team.
A native of Eubank, Kentucky, Rose came to Nebraska after spending the 2013-14 season as an assistant coach at the University of Kentucky. She inherited a Nebraska program that finished fifth at the 2014 NCAA Championships. A four-year letterwinner and a team captain at Murray State, Rose's career for the Racers includes a third-place overall finish in air rifle at the 2010 NCAA Championships.

Georgia distributed plaques to its senior football players at its annual awards gala last month with 7-6 inscribed as the team's record, even though the Bulldogs were 6-6 at the time.
Central Florida heard about that and naturally took umbrage, considering it a sign that Georgia was taking the Knights lightly and presuming a Liberty Bowl victory.
Not so, according to Georgia, which says it routinely includes a bowl victory in the record on the senior plaques and then makes a revision in the event of a loss.
"Did not have anything to do with taking UCF lightly," Georgia associate athletic director Claude Felton said in an e-mail today. "Every year we present the senior plaques at our football Gala, which is always held before the bowl game. One line on the plate is the season record, and we always list it with a win in the upcoming bowl game.
"If we lose the game, we replace the plate. We've done that 14 straight years and only had to replace the plate three times."
Central Florida, of course, beat Georgia 10-6 in the Liberty Bowl — Georgia's first loss in its past five bowl appearances and third in its past 14, dating to 1997. So Georgia's 23 seniors will be getting new plates bearing the 2010 team's accurate record: 6-7.
Estimated cost of the revision is $200.

There are a great many good comments on here. I especially love the one about what we are teaching our business students. However, gentlemen and Tech fans, the point is clear: as poor as the decision to print the plaques was, it was a better decision than going to, playing for, or being a fan of GA Tech.

The plaque should just reflect the regular season record and a reference to the bowl game. I wouldn't display a plaque that had a losing record, anyway. This program in the last 10 years has become strange, in so many ways.
January 6th, 2011
1:00 pm
In hindsight…
Georgia was one of the worse SEC teams. It was kind of arrogant to assume that we would beat the Conference USA champs. They were ranked going into the bowl, Georgia wasn't. Now the plaque fiasco providing UCF a little extra motivation. Maybe UCF should have been favorites.
January 6th, 2011
11:16 pm
UCF… WTF??? Did that really happen? Go Gators!
January 7th, 2011
3:39 pm
This is laughable, this program is out of control and to hand out plaques with incorrect final win/loss record is dishonorable. I wish President Adams or AD McGarity will discontinue this practice.

HEW arrives to begin CORE investigation By Rob Whetten A team of inspectors from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW), Civil Rights Division arrived on the Weber State campus Wednesday to U I William Van Dyke begin an investigation of alleged race discrimination against black students at WSC. Citing the near-unprecedented aspects of the complaints, regional HEW civil rights director Dr. Gilbert Roman indicated the investigation will begin immediately and continue with interviews in various WSC departments until enough information has been gathered to reach a conclusion.Dr. Roman will not participate in the investigation, but said he felt it necessary to be present because of the special nture of the charges. He said this is the first time the words "sexual harassment" have been used in a complaint. He noted that the choice of this wording may be crucial. The class-action complaint precipitating the investigation was filed on Dec. 21 by the Ogden chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and am-mended to include more complaints on Jan. 4. The complaint alleges race discrimination in: allocation of financial aid funds, work-study positions, counciling, grading and that black female students were sexually harassed when applying for student financial assistance. Local CORE chairwoman Shirley Thomas met with the inspectors, headed by Ray Smith, Wednesday and afterward reiterated her belief that the charges are well-founded. "We don't want the college to have a bad image," she said, "all we want is some changes made . . . we want those people to stop what they're doing." Another key figure in the investigation is financial aid director William VanDyke, whose office bares the brunt of the discrimination charges. Van-Dyke has recently been singled out in changes made ' by both Thomas and several black and white women as being discriminatory and having perpetuated the alleged harassment. A KUTV Channel 2 News series on the alleged sexual harassment has drawn a libel suit against KUTV from VanDyke. VanDyke's legal counsel, Richard Richards, said Wednesday the suit is immediately forthcoming. Richards gave KUTV the allotted three days notice to retract the allegations while preparing a suit claiming malicious damage. Thomas denied that she organized or coached the women who went on television, although she said many of them had come to her with complaints. "The girls got started on their own, and we found there were not just blacks, but also whites involved." According to a Feb. 4 Time magazine article, sexual harassment by college faculty is widespread, but punishment has been minimal. As in the WSC case, the names of accusers have often been withheld. At least one professor, at San Jose State was fired because of sexual harassment allegations. An investigation of CORE requested by the college is con tinuing with a second visit by inspectors expected sometime next week. College officials first requested the investigation in late November because of possible misuse of work-study funds by CORE, possible forged time cards, and mounting unpaid bills. CORE reportedly owes the college over $3,500 and is under suspicion for violation of federal nepotism and kickback regulations.Both Thomas and VanDyke have accused each other of requesting investigations to cloud the issues and cast suspicion on the other's organization. Smith, director of the HEW investigation, held a meeting with college officials Wednesday and asked them to release data as requested. Smith also said the inspector's role is to remain neutral and that the decision will be made within 90 days after leaving the college. Inspectors are forbidden to talk to media representatives concerning a pendinginvestigation. iuM'illilil Hill-ill J j.ii.iMniU.w .mt "' U LfljVS o Iltl 3 WEBER STATE COLLEGE o o Lzzn in i-fcij(tiiWTt Vfctfn- i'M,ae.iUMts - thin -irmiw nvi-''--- im r OGDEN UTAH Volume 40 Issue 35 T February 15, 198? Council mulls Survey reveals various propensities of students WSC issues Budget appropriations, savings from the recent campus shutdown, and several -other issues were tabled at the monthly Institutional Council meeting held Wednesday. President Rodney Brady spoke at some length on his recent trip to Washington D.C. and his meeting with President Carter, and then reviewed budget matters dealing with the college. Brady termed the recent campus shutdown a success, saying "we saved about $50,000, and when all areas of saving are considered it's possible we saved up to $70,000." Dr. Parry Wilson said the largest area of savings came in salaries, with hourly and contracted salary savings coming to $19,194. Other areas which saved the college money were in power and light, $8,133; snow removal, 7,329; and smaller savings in heating gas, telephone service, plant-supplies, and use of agsoline by college vehicles and other equipment. Council members termed the savings significant and lauded the school administration for the shutdown. Brady also discussed the college's financial treatment by the Utah legislature. In a statement issued by the President, Brady said "higher education did not fare well in this legislation, in neither op-perating funds nor in capital facilities funds. However, I am pleased that the legislature recognized at least in part WSC's challenge to meet the requirements of a projected huge enrollment increase." Brady said the college was treated as fairly as could be expected, but that it will take managerial toughness and academic ingenuity to further WSC's quest to become "one of the higher quality undergraduate colleges in.America." Although the college's 1980-81 Education and General appropriation was 12.95 percent higher than the 1979-80 appropriation, Brady said that inflation is increasing at a rate of between 10-15 percent. Increased student enrollment could justify more money needed to teach them. An increase of 744 students indicated that a substantial amount of more money would be needed to educate them. The solution to this, Brady said, is an achieving more productivity to meet the 17 percent productivity increase required this year. As for the recent court decision ordering the school to release salaries, Brady said it is still being studied and a conference on the matter is scheduled with the staff of the Utah Commissioner of Higher Education. The school will obey all legal mandates on the matter, Brady said. By Michael Tupa Old is beautiful. That's the principal finding in a recent survey taken among Weber State College students in which traditional entertainment such as movies, roller skating and softrock concerts registered strong against disco, rock concerts andluncheon-entertainment. The survey included 13 WSC students and only a minute percentage of students and may not be representative of the student-body as a whole. It included categories of types of entertainment, work and free-time schedules, views of the Signpost and student goernment. Also included were questions about favorite kinds of music. Subjects were rated on a scale of one to five, with one being favorable, two appealing, three indifferent, four not favorable and five unappealing. In the favorite entertainment area there were basically four categories which were musical, activities, drama and socials. Disco was pitted against small rock, concert and rock band in the musical category and came in dead last. Concerts was the winner with 11 votes in the one and two area, small rock was second with 12 votes in the one-two and three areas, rock band had 11 votes in the one-two and three areas and disco garnered six votes in the four and five areas. The activites area included ski club, roller skating and volleyball tournament. There was no clear cut winner in this category because of a tie between the ski club and roller skating. The ski club received five first place votes compared to two for roller skating, but in the area of one-two area, roller skating received six votes compared to five for skiing, and in theone-two-three area roller and volleyball tied with nine votes each. Movies were the overall winner in the drama area with all 13 votes in either the number one or two area. Second in this category was dinner with eight votes in the one-two area as compared to seven for theatre. In the social area, luncheon won with 11 votes in the one through three areas. Nightclub-coffee house took second with seven votes in the one-two-three area and fashion show received six votes. Of the 13 students interviewed, eight or 61.5 percent said that they read every issue of the Sign post. Three or 23 percent saI they read one issue a week, or, ; person said they read more than one issue a month and one person said that they read one issue a month. Each eaualed 7.2 percent.In the work area , five reporter! that they work full-time, five have a part-time job in the day, two work part-time in the evenip and one said they don't work cX all.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Ted Siefer's City Hall: Levasseur comes out swinging with lawsuit against city
Freshman Ward 10 Alderman Bill Barry has been meeting with department heads and will be sitting down with the city clerk and solicitor this week to discuss ideas for a uniform policy for how the city responds to right-to-know requests. Barry expects to have something to present to the Administration Committee later this month.
"Doing police work, you sometimes develop confidential informants," Barry said. "As aldermen, some of the information we get, there's no doubt in my mind, they don't want their name (released)."
Of course, Barry isn't a completely disinterested party in all of this. One of Girard's right-to-know requests concerns communications Levasseur had with critics of the Manchester Dog Park Association, which was founded and is run by Phil Greazzo, whom Barry defeated in November. Greazzo has accused Levasseur of siding with the dog park critics, along with a host of other misdeeds. More on this later.
In his suit, Levasseur accuses Girard of sending the city on a fishing expedition that netted "over 11,000 pages of emails containing Alderman Levasseur's name or email address." Girard insists that he made two very specific requests. And, as it turns out, the first of them originated with a request from, of all people, Levasseur himself.
It's Girard's subsequent request, however, that likely prompted Levasseur to seek an injunction. (Girard has already received the file containing the Union Leader-requested emails.)
- - - - - - -
Greazzo, for his part, is not relenting in his dogged pursuit of Levasseur, even after his censure last month.
But Clark's opinion stands. He told me the section of state law cited by Greazzo is merely "a template" for a municipal charter; Manchester has a different charter, one that lacks any mechanism for the removal of an alderman by his or her colleagues, Clark said.

User (computing)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2010)
A user is a person who uses a computer or network service. A user often has a user account and is identified by a username (also user name). Other terms for username include login name, screen name (also screenname), nickname (also nick), or handle, which is derived from the identical Citizen's Band radio term.
Users generally use a system without the technical expertise required to understand it fully,[1] while power users use advanced features of programs.
In projects in which the actor of the system is another system or a software agent, it is quite possible that there is no end-user for the system.
The term end-user refers to the ultimate operator of a piece of software, but it is also a concept in software engineering, referring to an abstraction of that group of end-users of computers (i.e. the expected user or target-user). The term is used to distinguish those who only operate the software from the developer of the system, who knows a programming language and uses it to create new functions for end-users.
This abstraction is primarily useful in designing the user interface, and refers to a relevant subset of characteristics that most expected users would have in common. In user-centered design, several fictional Personas are created to represent the archetypal end users, which may include differences concerning which computer interfaces with which each persona is comfortable (due to experience or their inherent simplicity), and the persona's technical expertise and degree of knowledge in specific fields or disciplines.
When few constraints are imposed on the end-user category, especially when designing programs for use by the general public, it is common practice to expect minimal technical expertise or previous training in end-users.[2] In this context, easy-to-learn GUIs (possibly with a touchscreen) are usually preferred to more sophisticated command line interfaces for the sake of usability.
The end-user development discipline blurs the typical distinction between users and developers. It designates activities or techniques in which people who are not professional developers create automated behavior and complex data objects without significant knowledge of a programming language.
User account[edit]
A user's account allows a user to authenticate to system services and be granted authorization to access them; however, authentication does not imply authorization. To log into an account, a user is typically required to authenticate oneself with a password or other credentials for the purposes of accounting, security, logging, and resource management.
Once the user has logged on, the operating system will often use an identifier such as an integer to refer to them, rather than their username, through a process known as identity correlation. In Unix systems, the username is correlated with a user identifier or user id.
Computer systems are divided into two groups based on what kind of users they have:
- Single-user systems do not have a concept of several user accounts.
- Multi-user systems have such a concept, and require users to identify themselves before using the system.
Each user account on a multi-user system typically has a home directory, in which to store files pertaining exclusively to that user's activities, which is protected from access by other users (though a system administrator may have access). User accounts often contain a public user profile, which contains basic information provided by the account's owner.
In online communities, screen names can become a mark of persona, some of them acquiring a certain level of fame from the contributions of their holders. Some famous screen names:
- CmdrTaco, of Rob Malda, founder of the website Slashdot.
- lcamtuf, of Michał Zalewski, a security expert.[citation needed]
Sometimes, screen names are simply shortened or initialized forms of real names. In these cases, the fame of the person and the fame of their username is difficult to separate. Contrast with TR, JFK, and FDR in politics.
- Matz, of Yukihiro Matsumoto, inventor of Ruby (programming language)
- RMS, of Richard Stallman, author of the GPL, founder of the FSF, and head maintainer of EMACS
- JWZ, of Jamie Zawinski, co-author of the Mozilla, Netscape Navigator, Xemacs, and Xscreensaver
- ESR, of Eric Raymond, co-author of the Open Source Initiative, author of Cathedral and the Bazaar
- billg of Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft
- Jimbo Wales, of Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia
While most user accounts are intended to be used by only a single person, many systems have a special account intended to allow anyone to use the system—the username "anonymous" for anonymous FTP, the username "guest" for a guest account, etc.
Some usability professionals have expressed their dislike of the term "user", proposing it to be changed.[3]
Don Norman stated:
One of the horrible words we use is "users". I am on a crusade to get rid of the word "users". I would prefer to call them "people".[4]
However, a counterargument would be that when someone is behind the wheel of a large automobile, they are called "driver". When they are cooking for a restaurant they are called "chef" not "person". The term "user" exists to define context and action.

The American Chemistry Council assures us that "we make the products that help keep you safe and healthy." But U.S. consumers are actually exposed to a vast array of harmful chemicals and additives embedded in toys, cosmetics, plastic water bottles and countless other products.

I do not like Hamas. I detest religious fundamentalism and the use of suicide bombers. I find the group's anti-Semitism and ruthless silencing of internal Palestinian opponents repugnant. The rocket attacks on Israeli civilians are a war crime. But this does not negate the legitimacy of Palestinian resistance to the long Israeli siege and occupation of Gaza.
The people of Gaza and Israel suffer at the hands of leaders whose bewildering and savage decisions have no rationally achievable purpose.

Although she acknowledged that Georgia fired the first shots in August's bloody conflict with Russia, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Thursday laid most of the blame for that showdown on Russia. During a strident speech, she also gave several other examples of how she believed Russia's leaders were taking their nation down a dangerous road.
Thanks to Russia's incursion into a belligerent Georgia in mid-August, a country in possession of Washington's assurance that it soon would be given a "membership action plan" for joining NATO now hasn't a hope of membership in the alliance.
NATO has now been broken because it was used by the United States and the European NATO members as a tool for expanding Western power into the Russian "near abroad," and after that, to make an inexplicably rash and dangerous effort to break into and split off portions of the Russian empire as it existed in the 19th century—long before the Soviet Union existed.
The West's response to the situation in Georgia evades acknowledgement of the damage Georgia's President Mikheil Saakashvili has done to the United States and NATO, and to Georgia itself, which for the foreseeable future will now be a nation of limited sovereignty, and an awkward embarrassment to its Western allies.

The Bush administration continued efforts to resurrect the Cold War this week by demanding that European governments back sanctions against Russia. So far, America's allies in NATO are showing relative restraint in the face of a transatlantic temper tantrum.
"Unfortunately, today we are looking evil directly in the eye," an emotional Mikheil Saakashvili said Friday after he signed a cease-fire agreement to end his country's eight-day showdown with Russia. The Georgian president declared that other European nations ignored clear signs of impending conflict last spring and he hinted that trouble could also be in store for other countries.
With the worst timing imaginable, the U.S. and Poland announced a missile shield deal on Thursday, which prompted a Russian general to strut like a peacock and threaten to punish the land of pirogi. The proposed missile shield has been a go-to irritant for President Bush to use on old friend Vladimir Putin, and for an obvious reason: It works.

After enduring the silly debate over who injected race into the presidential campaign, let's look at some recent numbers that indicate how Barack Obama could win this close election.
It's not clear whether those were Germans or backpackers chanting "yes we can" in Berlin, but Barack Obama's speech was a big hit with the crowd, which responded warmly to his call for global unity. The candidate himself cracked up after a line about his father herding goats got a huge cheer.
France's President Nicolas Sarkozy is often dismissed for his flamboyance, but he has quite remarkable accomplishments, including some reforms long sought by the left.

Hemp law may give farmers new opportunitiesBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | June 11,2013At the age of 76, longtime farmer Will Allen is still looking for ways to diversify a 40-acre operation that already includes everything from pick-your-own pumpkins to a field-side café.
So when Vermont lawmakers last month gave final approval to a bill that would legalize the cultivation of hemp, Allen began contemplating ways to introduce the crop to his Cedar Circle Farm in East Thetford.
You can grow it for food, for fuel, for fiber, Allen said recently. Theres already a proven market for hemp locally, and theres no reason for us not to be growing it here.
Its been nearly 60 years since the federal government uprooted the nations once-thriving hemp industry. Though hemp contains only trace levels of THC an active ingredient in marijuana its genetic similarities to its psychotropic cousin have landed it alongside heroin and LSD on the list of Schedule I narcotics banned by the federal government.
Vermonts new legislation, signed into law Monday by Gov. Peter Shumlin, wont alter federal statutes. And despite the pro-hemp efforts of lawmakers including Rep. Peter Welch, Congress doesnt look poised to end the hemp ban.
But with local law enforcement authorities out of the way, farmers like Allen may decide that the benefits outweigh the still considerable risk of introducing to their fields a crop that hasnt been harvested here since shortly after World War II.
It gives farmers that additional crop in the rotation that can benefit the farm income, said Robb Kidd, an organizer at Rural Vermont, the Montpelier-based nonprofit that helped shepherd the legislation through the Statehouse. It doesnt require pesticides or herbicides, it does well in marginal soils, and its a quick-growing crop, so there are lots of reasons why farmers would want to grow it.
Kidd said he expects only a few farmers to roll the dice. Federal authorities would most likely only eradicate the plot, rather than prosecute the farmer, as has been general practice in the handful of other states that have legalized hemp. But penalties for getting caught with a field full of the crop could land a grower in federal prison for decades.
Allen says the threat of land seizure is of far greater concern to him than potential jail time. Thats why hes in the market for a small plot of land near his existing farm, a transaction hed complete using a consortium or other entity legally distinct from both Cedar Circle and himself.
Allen was arrested in 2010 when he and other demonstrators took spades to the lawn of the DEA headquarters in Washington, D.C., and planted hemp seeds.
Im not afraid of jail, Allen said. I do not want to lose the farm.
Shumlin said Monday he signed the legislation because I believe the growing of hemp should be legal.
Hemp, a different variety of the same plant that produces marijuana, is not a drug but instead a crop with many constructive uses, Shumlin said.
He said, however, that he has concerns about the details of this bill.
Federal legislation, Shumlin said in a statement, means farmers who choose to grow hemp do so at their own risk and need to be aware of the possible consequences.
Shumlin is also concerned about how the law might affect the prosecution of felony marijuana cases in the state. The legislation changes the definition of marijuana in Vermont from cannabis sativa containing any THC to cannabis sativa containing THC of concentrations in excess of 0.3 percent.
That means state forensics labs must now confirm not just the existence of THC in a plant, but a percent content, a requirement that could, according to law enforcement officials, add costs and complexity to prosecutions.
Although I strongly support the principle behind this law, Shumlin said in his statement, I will ask my administration to carefully watch its implementation and to work with legislators to correct any deficiencies.
The legislation replaces an earlier law that legalized hemp here but prohibited Vermont farmers from cultivating it until federal policy changed.
Netaka White, bioenergy program director at the Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund, said the states farmers have a legitimate economic interest in seeing hemp become part of the agriculture mix. Based on data from Canada, where farmers harvest more than 50,000 acres of hemp annually, White said Vermonters could expect to see net yields of $250 to $500 per acre, as much or more than conventional crops.
The retail market for hemp products in the United States driven by demand for the oil, protein, textiles and fuel derived from the plant is closing in on $500 million annually.
There is no hallucinogenic or drug value, but there is fiber value, fuel value and food value, White said.
White said the crop lends itself to the value added trend that has helped buoy small farms in Vermont. Investments in a seed oil press, White said, could allow a farmer to multiply per-acre revenues.
Is it going to become a cash crop for Vermont overnight? Not yet. Federal law still has to change, White said. But as soon as it does, the floodgates are going to open, and were going to figure out new markets for it.
Kidd, at Rural Vermont, said the states trailblazing legislation will keep farmers here on the leading edge of the coming hemp boom. The handful of farmers willing to take the risk, he said, will be able to impart their knowledge to fellow farmers. He said those farmers will also be able to begin developing seed stock, a challenge given that importation of hemp seeds across the U.S. border with Canada remains a felony.
The growing season is too far along now for anyone to begin growing hemp in Vermont this year. But Kidd expects to see at least a couple test plots next spring.
A lot of farmers are very interested in growing it, Kidd said. There are going to be challenges early on, but we see this eventually being an important part of the mix for many Vermont farmers.

|Cold Atom Laboratory Makes Use of Microgravity
Astronauts will install the Cold Atom Laboratory experiment aboard the International Space Station (shown) in early 2016, giving the facility, which will observe quantum phenomena from the microgravity environment, a unique perspective from which to make its observations. Image credit: NASA
A facility designed to fly aboard the International Space Station, the Cold Atom Laboratory, or CAL, will make use the space station's unique microgravity environment to observe quantum phenomena that would otherwise be undetectable from Earth. The laboratory will be available for use by multiple scientific investigators and is designed to be maintained on orbit.
The Cold Atom Laboratory, which is scheduled for launch and installment on the International Space Station in April 2016, will also serve as an experiment in the use of laser-cooled atoms for future quantum sensors.

Pima County Sheriff's Office is investigating two separate shooting and robbery incidents they believe were done by "rip crews."
Deputies said a 42-year-old man was shot after he and two of his friends were confronted by three suspects about seven miles west of the Red Rock housing community on Tuesday.
According to the victim, he and his two friends were from Hermosillo, Mexico and had crossed over the border illegally on foot about 10 days before.
They were walking on a trail when they were confronted by three armed suspects dressed in camouflage clothing and masks. The suspects spoke to them in Spanish and demanded their money.
After the victim gave them their money and said it was all they had, a suspect hit him in the face with a gun and shot him in the leg.
The victim told police the suspects ran to a nearby getaway vehicle. The victim's friends helped him to the side of a road before running into the desert to hide.
A resident driving by saw the victim and he was brought to a hospital and treated.
One of the victim's friends was found in the area and he and the victim were turned over to Border Patrol.
PCSO and Border Patrol searched for the suspects but none of them were found.
The second incident happened on Wednesday.
According to PCSO, a man was shot while trying to smuggle marijuana from Mexico to the U.S. with seven other men.
Deputies found a victim with a gunshot wound and another man near Interstate-8 near Smith Road with the help of the victim's GPS on his phone.
The man with the victim told deputies that he and the victim were part of a group of eight men carrying backpacks of marijuana from Mexico.
The group was confronted by five armed rip crew members who told them in Spanish to drop their backpacks, the man told deputies.
As the eight men tried to run away from the rip crew, at least one of the members started shooting at the men. The victim was shot in the buttocks.
While searching for the rip crew members, Border Patrol found two more members of the group of backpackers.
All three men were turned over to Border Patrol. None of the rip crew suspects were found.

Mushrooms: What's Edible, Medicinal, and Psychedelic
Safety First
Foraging is not without risks -- there are, of course, poisonous, even deadly mushrooms. The North American Mycological Association, which has been tracking mushroom poisonings for more than 30 years, receives an average of one report of a human death due to mushrooms each year. However, in 2009, there were four people who died after eating mushrooms containing a toxin called amatoxin, according to the North American Mycological Association.
Brill says that foraging intelligently will keep trouble at bay.
"You have to make an effort to mess up with mushrooms, and it's usually people who have no knowledge who do so," Brill says. "A lot of the fear is simply nature-phobia."
Brill says that touching poisonous mushrooms is not dangerous, but he strongly advises only eating mushrooms that can be identified with 100% certainty -- and none should be eaten raw.
"Magic" Mushrooms
Finally, there are mushrooms that are eaten not for their nutritional content but for their psychedelic properties. Often called magic mushrooms, these fungi contain a hallucinogenic substance called psilocybin.
In one such study, published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, researchers at Johns Hopkins report that a single dose of psilocybin -- given in a research study that was closely supervised -- led to a long-lasting increase in openness, a personality trait related to imagination, creativity, feelings, and abstract ideas. The study authors suggest that psilocybin may prove useful in treating neuroticism and accompanying depression and anxiety, but it will take more research to learn how that works.
Psilocybin, however, is illegal. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) classifies it as a Schedule 1 substance, meaning it has a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use in the U.S. Unless and until that changes, it is recommended that you only seek out mushrooms meant to be savored for their flavor and health benefits. There are plenty to choose from, and plenty of ways to prepare them. Here's what Weil likes to do:
"When I try a new species for the first time, I usually sauté it in a little olive or grapeseed oil to experience its flavor and texture," he says. "Many thick-fleshed mushrooms can be grilled over charcoal and basted with a low- or nonfat sauce. In addition to grilling, simmering in broth and stir-frying with vegetables are great ways to prepare a delicious meal with mushrooms."
