Already under fire from conservatives and liberals for his broad surveillance of Associated Press and Fox News reporters, Attorney General Eric Holder is about to face much tougher questions from Congress after the Guardian reported yesterday that the National Security Agency is currently collecting the telephone records of millions of U.S. Verizon customers.
The "business records" loophole
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act does not allow the NSA to listen in on purely domestic phone calls. However, 50 USC 1861 (a.k.a. the Patriot Act), does allow the NSA to collect "business records" from communication companies, including numbers dialed and received, length of call, customer names, and customer financial information. Probable cause is not needed to collect this information since Americans do not have a privacy interest in the commercial transactions they undertake.
Taking FISA to extremes
While it was widely known the NSA could collect such data in relation to a specific authorized investigation, approved by the attorney general, the on-going and infinitely broad nature of the court order obtained by the Guardian is unprecedented. However, it does appear that Congress has been informed about this NSA program, and some members have been objecting to it for months.
The Guardian notes that Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and Mark Udall, D-Colo., sent a letter to Holder last year writing "there is now a significant gap between what most Americans think the law allows and what the government secretly claims the law allows." "We believe," they continued, "that most Americans would be stunned to learn the details of how these secret court opinions have interpreted" the "business records" provision of the Patriot Act.
Holder is scheduled to testify before the Senate Commerce Committee at 10:45 a.m. Thursday.

In Other News
NBC News, Health care law's unpopularity reaches new highs: President Barack Obama's signature health care reform law remains unpopular with the American public just months before it fully goes into effect, according to the new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. The poll shows 49 percent of Americans say they believe the Affordable Care Act is a bad idea. That's the highest number recorded on this question since the poll began measuring it in 2009.
The Wall Street Journal, IRS staff cite Washington link: IRS officials in Washington helped direct the probe of Tea Party groups, two employees in the agency's Cincinnati office told investigators.
The New York Times, In personnel appointments, Obama takes assertive tack: Recent unapologetic selections reflect a conclusion in the West Wing that when it comes to choosing personnel, the president can never satisfy Republicans.

McClatchy Newspapers, Food-stamp cuts split Democrats: Billions of dollars in funding cuts for food stamps, contained in bills moving through Congress, have split Democratic lawmakers and angered advocates for the poor, who criticize the cuts as heartless attempts to reduce the federal budget deficit.
Politico, Raul Labrador exiting House immigration group: Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho — a key conservative who had been engaged in secret negotiations over immigration reform — said Wednesday that he will drop out of the so-called House Gang of Eight. The problem, Labrador said, was an impasse over how the pending legislation would address the issue of health care for undocumented immigrants.
BuzzFeed, Top IRS official for Obamacare implementation placed on administrative leave: Sources say a key official in charge of overseeing health reform implementation, as well as another staffer, have been put on leave for accepting gifts.
National Journal, Terry McAuliffe tests Obama playbook in Virginia: Terry McAuliffe has been trying to build an Obama-style, technologically savvy, grassroots campaign to crank out voters who helped the president carry the state twice but don't normally vote in gubernatorial elections.

WeChat Hits The New York Times
Journalist Adam Century recently wrote about Weixin in the venerable pages of The New York Times. It's high time for WeChat to start getting international attention.
The story, Chinese Messaging App Gains Ground Elsewhere, is a sharp overview of the WeChat phenomenon.
WeChat's Quest to Become China's First Global Internet Product
As I exited the Taipei City Hall metro station, two beautiful Taiwanese girls in short shorts and skimpy tank tops approached me. The ice-cold shower of reality hit me two seconds later when I found that they were trying to sell me something. D'oh.
But my interest was rekindled when I discovered that something is WeChat (or 微信 in Chinese), the mobile chat app that we at TechRice have predicted as the China tech story of 2012.
Now the story has moved beyond China.
Sina Weibo to Issue Social Credit Cards
Sina and China Merchant's Bank will launch a social credit card for Weibo DaRen users at the end of August. Sina is in non-stop experimentation mode as it tries to monetize Weibo. Here's the scoop.
Baidu and Tencent Set Sail
What does a long-deceased eunuch have in common with Chinese tech giants, Baidu and Tencent? It's not an online music platform or a market capitalization north of US $40 billion (approaching $70 billion in Tencent's case). Nor is it being a eunuch. Zheng He's famed Ming-sponsored sea expeditions of the early 1400s represented a powerful China at the center of global trade and influence. Leading fleets of unprecedented size, Zheng He's seven voyages graced the shores of modern-day Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and India, as well as the Horn of Africa, and extended the emperor's sphere of influence.
While Baidu and Tencent may not be in shipbuilding (almost surprising given their polymathic aspirations), domestic success has left them with the funds to spread to new lands and markets.
China's Hackers Channel Zuckerberg's Mischievousness
It's no shocker that Zuckerberg's mischief has 'inspired' a flock of Chinese copycats. Over the past couple of months, two Chinese college students from different schools have each cited Mr Zuckerberg, hacked their school's database, and built their own Facemash.
In dorm rooms across the country, China's next generation of white, gray, and black hat hackers are hacking away. Make sure you look good in your school pics.
Three Crises for Old Media in China
Worldwide, Old Media faces two crises:
#1 Death by demographics: how you young punks are a huge pain-in-the-ass for Old Media.
#2 The new business of New Media: how New Media is drawing and quartering Old Media to sell it piece-by-piece at a lower price
And in China, Old Media faces one additional crisis:
#3 Crisis of Credibility: how New Media has exposed the propaganda side of Old Media
Recruiting via China's Social Networks [Infographic]
Social media has gone far beyond entertainment. Businesses are now looking into how they can use these channels in their recruitment strategy.
Hiring the right employees is imperative for any company, but Chinese companies also face some unique challenges. China is caught in a double bind of worker shortages for high skill labor and unemployment. Targeting and recruiting the country's fickle talent pool has become extremely competitive for recruiters and HR-professionals. How are companies using China's unique social media environment to tackle this problem?

The Ravens' varsity, junior varsity and novice cheer teams will compete at the 2014 JAMZ Youth Nationals Competition, January 23 to 27, at New Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nev.
"It is so rewarding to see these cheerleaders work so hard all season and reap the benefits at competition," said Ravens' cheer representative Sue Powers. "I am so proud of all three of our cheer teams. I am looking forward to seeing these young ladies compete at Nationals in January."
The Ravens' novice cheer team had been disqualified from the TVYFL competition for a violation of rules.
But behind an effort from coaches and parents, the squad won an appeal of the violation, accepting the bid to compete in Las Vegas instead.
"The novice cheerleaders put their trust in their coaches and myself to fight for what was right," Powers said. "What a great lesson in life for these young ladies: they trusted us, and we fought for them, because we never stopped believing in them."
On Nov. 18, the novice cheerleaders found out that they had won second-place at the league event, and made it into the national competition.
None of the cheerleaders or their parents knew the news was coming, and when word leaked that the local contingent was Las Vegas-bound, the dining room at Mountain Mike's Pizza in Patterson erupted with glee and applause.
"These young ladies came out Monday through Thursday all season long to learn cheers and dance routines," Powers said. "Some nights were freezing cold and it was hard to concentrate, but these girls worked together every night as a team."
Coached by Misty Stonebarger and assistant Yvonne Gomez, the Ravens' novice cheerleaders are: Samantha Babasa, Destiny Boyd, Amanda Cardoza, Aaralyne Flores, Ayana Guardado, Marisa Jack, Dominique Martinez, Kamora McCowan, Delilah Ramirez, Monica Rosas, Isabelle Rubio, Evelyn Silva, Ramona Urrutia and Yadira Vivero.
The Ravens' varsity cheer squad also took second-place honors at the TVYFL event.
Coached by Eileen Fernandez and assistant Karissa Jones, the Ravens' varsity cheerleaders are: Madelan Adam, Annya Alonzo, Giselle Arevalo, Sarah Canseco, Asia Durazo, Alin Ferrer, Rose Garcia, Lilibeth Garza, Nicole Hubble, Rocio Lopez, Marielle Lopez-Myers, Alexandra Maldonado-Silva, Mariah Martell, Sabrina McManus, Emily-Grace Powers, Valerie Solarez, Tatianna Tafoya, Aliah Taylor, Mary Tyler and Victoria Vasquez.
The local youth cheerleading program took third place in the JV division at the league competition.
"When I think about my girls, or look at them, I get a huge sense of pride," said Ravens' JV coach Julie Quiroba. "I only have seven girls, as opposed to those squads who have more than 20, so I have a very close relationship with all of them."
Quiroba and assistant Jennifer Rodriguez helped polish the Ravens' JV cheerleaders: Haley Autry, Yahaira Cuevas, Kaya Durazo, Andrea Frunz, Angilee Hassan, Rosalinda Mercado and Jessica Waybright.
"I told my girls it wasn't enough to place and go to Vegas. We will put all we have in this going forward, wanting to win first place and not settle for anything less," Quiroba said. "But if we don't win first or place at all, I want the girls to know that no matter what, I am beyond proud of them. They should go to bed every night and wake up every morning, smiling and knowing how lucky they are."

TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Libya's official news agency is reporting a suicide car bombing on the outskirts of the eastern city of Benghazi has killed eight soldiers.
It says the early Sunday morning attack targeted a military checkpoint where people stop at before entering the city and that more than ten soldiers were wounded. The blast also wounded several people who were waiting to be checked.
Earlier, a security official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief journalists said at least six people were killed.
Violence has rocked Libya over the past two years after the end of the eight-month civil war that toppled and killed longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
Benghazi, the birthplace of the 2011 uprising, is a stronghold of militias with roots in anti-Gadhafi rebel brigades.

Protecting Your Child's Eyes and Sight
There are many things you can do to keep your child's eyes healthy and seeing clearly from birth through the teen years.
How Can I Help My Child Develop Good Eyesight?
Make sure your baby is following moving objects with his or her eyes and developing eye-hand coordination. If he or she seems delayed, talk to your child's doctor.
As your baby grows into an active child, continue to encourage good eyesight by providing visually stimulating toys that will improve motor and eye-hand coordination skills. Some good examples are:
How Often Should My Child's Eyes be Checked?
There are no strict guidelines. However, a detailed examination by an ophthalmologist, preferably a pediatric ophthalmologist, in the first year of life and another one between the ages of 3 and 4 is recommended. Additional exams are administered if screenings at the pediatrician show any ocular misalignment or visual difficulties. Children with siblings or close relatives with significant eye problems should be examined early and repeatedly by a pediatric ophthalmologist.
What Should I Do in an Emergency?
Here are four first aid tips for eye injuries:

editor Paul Fisette responds: I agree with you
that this is a bad practice. OSB is not
manufactured to withstand repeated wettings, and
over time it will deteriorate, as rainwater is
driven behind the vinyl siding. Once OSB swells, it
will not return to its original thickness, and this
permanent deformation can telegraph through to
affect the surface appearance.
As you note, most building codes unfortunately
(and incorrectly I think) don't require
protection over OSB and plywood. Omitting the paper
not only leaves the OSB or plywood unprotected, it
also gives you no way to protect the top edge of
window and door flashings with an overlapping
layer. Water running down the sheathing can run
behind the window flanges and into the framing

Manny Ramirez 'feels great' after first A's at-bats
Susan Slusser

Phoenix --
Manny Ramirez hit into a double play in his first at-bat with the A's, and grounded out to second in his other at-bat Friday.
The A's new designated hitter - who hadn't played in a game in nearly a year - knows he won't keep grounding out at that kind of rate as he regains his form.
"You better believe it," Ramirez said with a smile.
After his two plate appearances in the Cactus League opener, Ramirez said that his timing was better than he had expected and that he was happy that he was seeing the ball well.
"I feel great," he said. "I made contact."
Ramirez saw only three pitches in his two at-bats, and manager Bob Melvin chalked that up to being anxious to do something right away with a new team. Melvin noted that Ramirez's first grounder was hit "on the button."
Melvin anticipates Ramirez playing essentially every other day in Arizona, which probably translates to most home games.
"He needs some consistent at-bats early on so we can get an early read," Melvin said.
Ramirez retired April 8 after testing positive for performance-enhancing substances and must sit out the first 50 games of this season.
He said he loves the A's white shoes - he called the A's home whites "beautiful" - and added, "My friends call me and say, 'You look so good in green!' "
Ramirez has been generous with his time with A's hitters; on Friday, third base hopeful Josh Donaldson, who always has studied video of Ramirez hitting, spoke with the DH for a while.
"He's one of my favorite guys to watch, and now I get to pick his brain, watch all the drills he does," Donaldson said. "If I can pick up maybe just one little thing from a guy like that, it might help bring out my full potential."
Barton's setback: Daric Barton had an MRI exam earlier in the week after developing soreness in his surgically repaired right shoulder.
"Everything looked good, so I'll get back into it slowly," he said. "The biggest thing for me was to find out that it's fine."
Barton cannot throw until mid-March, and now maybe later than that, potentially affecting his ability to win the first-base job, but, he said, "My No. 1 concern is getting healthy. Then I'll worry about everything else. I just need to get back on the field."
Briefly: A's greats Sal Bando and Bert Campaneris were at Phoenix Muni, and Melvin introduced Bando to the team during the morning. ... The A's have an opening at third; asked if he can still play there, Bando, 68, laughed and said, "I can play there, but not very well." ... Bando said he will have to miss the A's ceremony honoring the 1972 championship team on April 21 because of a previous commitment. ... The games today and Sunday will air on 95.7 FM with the pregame show starting at 11:30 a.m.
Mariners 8, A's 5
Notable: Oakland pitchers gave up five homers, with two of them coming against reliever Grant Balfour. ... All of Seattle's runs came on homers. ... Eric Sogard hit Oakland's only homer, with two outs in the seventh. ... Wes Timmons, like Sogard a potential option at third, drove in two runs. ... Joey Devine and Pedro Figueroa had the only clean innings for the A's.
Quotable: "Today, anything in the air to right field winds up being a home run."
- A's manager Bob Melvin on the five homers his team allowed
Today's game: A's (Tyson Ross) at Mariners (Hector Noesi), 12:05 p.m. Radio: 95.7.

text: SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - At a time when Sheboygan area softball teams are getting ready for the upcoming season, softball in the city of Sheboygan is in a state of flux. Citing numerous abuses by the Sheboygan Softball Association, which runs the softball program at Wildwood Park, the city council Wednesday night voted to terminate the contract with the SSA immediately. Waiting in the wings is the Mid Lakes Softball Association, which was estbalished last summer. Spokesman Mike Quarne says they would like to take over. He said they will be getting in touch with the city to propose a suitable offer to "provide the softball organization that this city needs and deserves to have a good softball program." The resolution - adopted by the council following a lengthy closed session - cites a litany of problems with the SSA, including failing to contribute money toward improving softball facilities, improper management, failure to control revenues and expenses leading to the loss of nearly 115-thousand dollars over the last three years while funding non-softball causes, attempting to prevent Mid Lakes Softball from holding a tournament at Wildwood last summer by threatening teams and umpires, and failing to work with the city to correct the abuses over the past three years.

At this time, I don't have plans to publish larger sizes of this pattern (despite plenty of requests - sorry!). Here are some tips to enlarge the hat for an older child (remember that you'll need more yarn for larger hats):
If you think the largest size might fit around, but want it to last longer, make the ribbed brim about 3 inches long. You can fold it up at first, then let it down as you need more length.
For a toddler size (18" around) hat, cast on 84 sts. Add 4 rows to the brim, and 2 rows to the seed stitch section before the cables. For the rest of the hat, work as for the largest size with an extra repeat (that is, 7). You may want to try the hat on the child before beginning the decreases, in case you need a little more depth.
For older children, it becomes a little more difficult to modify the pattern. If your child has a small head, you can try Tip 2, adding more rows to the brim and seed-stitch sections. If your child has a larger head, add another pattern repeat (so cast on 96 sts, work 8 repeats) and work a few more rows in the brim and seed stitch sections.

Make your voices heard: Jail scoping period is open
Published on Wed, May 15, 2013 by
Ian Ferguson
Read More
The scoping period for the new jail site has begun, and officials are seeking comments from members of the public on the impacts of building a new jail at the preferred site in Ferndale.
County officials have announced that the preferred site for the new jail is a 40-acre parcel on the west side of LaBounty Road just north of Sunset Road.
In 2010 Whatcom County issued a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for a proposal to build a jail on two other potential jail sites. Those two other sites have been withdrawn from consideration, and a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) will be issued that piggybacks on the DEIS but focuses on the preferred property and an alternative of making improvements to the existing jail in downtown Bellingham.
The preferred site was selected from 11 proposed sites because it scored the highest after examination by a group of jail planning experts. According to county executive Jack Louws, proximity to I-5 and readily available three-phase power were among the attributes that made the property stand out.
In a letter published in The Northern Light March 20, Whatcom County Sheriff Bill Elfo said the current jail system is insufficient and crowding at the jail has reached unacceptable levels.
"Life-safety issues, human conditions, potential taxpayer liability and extraordinary repair costs dictate (the jail planning process) move forward," Elfo said.
A press release from county planning and development services said the proposed jail might be constructed in multiple phases, with the first phase opening in 2017 with up to 660 beds. Based on a needs analysis through 2040, it is anticipated that another phase might occur after 2030, which could bring the facility to 800 beds. Additional phases could occur after 2040, but would be based on a future needs analysis.
A public scoping meeting will be held on Thursday, May 16 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Horizon Middle School forum/auditorium, 2671 Thornton Road, Ferndale.
Written comments on the scope of the EIS should be sent to Michael Russell, Whatcom County Facilities Management, 316 Lottie Street, Bellingham, WA 98225, postmarked on or before May 30. E-mails can be sent to

After they planted the first seeds in small plot of land behind Miami Northwestern High, students showed the community the fruits — and vegetables — of their labor Thursday afternoon.
The school also unveiled an aquaponics lab, with two 1,600-gallon tanks filled with tilapia, courtesy of Plant It Forward, a nonprofit that teaches students about food sustainability and entrepreneurial skills. The lab, which uses specialized filters to help grow plants, is near the garden of okra, tomatoes, and other vegetables in the back of the Liberty City campus.
"It gives other communities an opportunity to come in and see what we're capable of doing if given the same equal playing field," said Larry Williams, president of the school's alumni association.
The program is part of Education Effect, a collaboration among the high school, Florida International University, and JPMorgan Chase, which gave a $1 million grant to start the program. Former U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez was among the guests, noting how the program makes students more well-rounded as they prepare for college.
"The whole idea is to give young people an understanding of why education matters," Martinez said. "They're learning something about nutrition, they're learning something about cooking, developing ideas about career paths."
Liberty City is not populated by stores such as Whole Foods or Fresh Market or replete with farmers markets. José Andrés, of the Bazaar at the SLS Hotel in South Beach, and chefs Adrianne Calvo and Ingrid Hoffman were on hand to help teach the kids a thing or two about food.
Andrés — founder of World Central Kitchen, which aims to feed people in humanitarian crises — stressed that if low-income families provide for themselves through fast or processed food, "they're killing themselves in the process of feeding themselves."
"We cannot create an America or world where something that comes from the humble Earth or from a beautiful tree ends up more expensive than those foods that we are processing," Andrés said.
Mike Hampton, dean of FIU's hospitality school, noted that the labs and gardens could eventually be copied by residents.
"These small gardens can be grown on a terrace at your apartment or outside of your house," Hampton said. "If someone's on food stamps and they have a very limited budget to be able to shop with, now they can grow their own things to supplement their diet.''
That's the hope of the program and the students, like seniors Jeffrey Green and Myquan Melton, who described the growing process as "trial and error" and still developing.
"We're hoping to set a trend for the generations to come after us. To help us plant trees and better our community," said Melton.
Administrators hope the program will not only impact the community, but reshape the image of Northwestern. Principal Wallace Aristide said the football powerhouse may be moving from a "B" school to an "A" in January after years of underperforming academically.
"When you used to look on Wikipedia you'd see 'dropout factory,' " Aristide said. "When you look now, you see a graduation rate close to 80 percent."
Brandon Allen, a senior at the school, plans to add to that graduation rate after nearly losing his life in February 2012, when he was shot during a drive-by shooting near the school.
"I was walking home from school, I made it to about [Northwest] 64th Street, when a car pulled up on the side of me and my friends and opened fire," said Allen.
Allen is unsure of why he was targeted, but more than a year later he's in the Education Effect program and hoping to attend college and contribute to his neighborhood.
"I'm actively involved and I'll spend however many hours I have to make sure that my community is fed," said Allen.

When last viewed in these parts, the New Mexico Lobos were getting Jimmered like nobody else.
New Mexico allowed a BYU-record 52 points to Jimmer Fredette in the 2011 Mountain West Tournament, resulting in a loss that ended the school's 49 years of conference competition with BYU and Utah.
Two years later, here come the Lobos. Among the eight teams appearing this week in the NCAA Tournament at EnergySolutions Arena, Arizona regularly meets Utah in the Pac-12 and Gonzaga faces BYU in the West Coast Conference. But those schools can't match New Mexico's historical level of familiarity to Utahns.
And imagine this: After all these years of playing basketball in Utah, New Mexico could be using Salt Lake City as the launching point for the school's first Sweet 16 appearance. By beating Harvard then Arizona or Belmont, the Lobos would do something they've never done.
They know it. "We would love to make history and make the Sweet 16. That would be amazing," senior reserve Chad Adams said — and that was two weeks ago.
Since then, the Lobos (29-5) have gone on to win the Mountain West Tournament in Las Vegas and earn a No. 3 seed in the West Region. They're well positioned for a program breakthrough, and they should be even better next season, when Utah State will join them in the MW.
"I've said it, we'll put our starting five up against anybody," UNM coach Steve Alford said after Saturday's 63-56 win over UNLV for the tournament title.
Those starters include three juniors who appeared against BYU in Jimmer's big game: guards Kendall Williams and Tony Snell and forward Cameron Bairstow. They're joined by two sophomores, point guard Hugh Greenwood and center Alex Kirk.
That's two Californians, two Australians and a New Mexican, and they just keep getting better.
"I think a big thing about college basketball is how guys develop," Alford said. "We take a lot of pride in that. … That's important to us, because we've got a lot of guys on the staff like myself that played the game, and we developed."
Williams and Snell were good enough as freshmen to score 16 points each in a victory over BYU in Albuquerque. UNM also beat the Cougars in Provo that season, while inexplicably losing twice to Utah in Ute coach Jim Boylen's last year.
The Lobos have improved steadily since then. Opponents are shooting 38.8 percent from the field, meaning UNM will have back-to-back defensive seasons of 40 percent or lower for the first time in 55 years. Competing in a loaded Mountain West and playing an ambitious nonconference schedule, the Lobos are 13-4 against teams in the NCAA field. They have two victories over Boise State, Colorado State, San Diego State, UNLV and New Mexico State, besides beating Davidson, Valparaiso and Cincinnati. UNM lost to NCAA contestants South Dakota State, Saint Louis, San Diego State and UNLV. The Lobos' only other defeat was a one-pointer at Air Force.
"They've grown, matured and developed," said UNLV coach Dave Rice, a former BYU assistant. "So they don't care who gets the shot. They don't care who gets the basket. That's just part of growing up and maturing as a program."
Williams, the MW player of the year, scored 46 points (with 10 3-pointers) at Colorado State in February. Yet his team-leading average is only 13.5 points, illustrating the Lobos' balance. Snell, known as a great defender, scored 21 points Saturday against UNLV and was named the tournament MVP.
"I think our identity is a collective thing," Adams said. "We don't have just one main player that the nation can focus on and say is our best player."
That's why the nation just now is noticing these Lobos. Some observers even like UNM's chances of reaching the Final Four. History shows us that you first have to play in the Sweet 16.

Do you want to laugh? Of course you want to laugh.
If you read the poems in Shel Silverstein's A Light in
the Attic, you just might laugh out loud. The book
club that meets the first Thursday of each month will
be discussing A Light in the Attic Thursday, April 1 at
4:00 in the afternoon. We will have a book related
activity and snacks. The program is for children ages
8 - 12, but all are welcome. April is National Poetry Month.
