Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh on Sept. 26 meets with officials at the Capital Air Defense Command Center in Beijing. (Maj. Megan Schafer / US Air Force)

WASHINGTON — Chinas creation of an air defense identification zone over the East China Sea is seen by many as a provocative statement from the Communist nation. But leaders of the Air Force believe the international community should view this as an opportunity to discuss how to manage air defense zones in the region.
I hope its not a platform for conflict. I hope it is a platform for communication, Gen. Mark Welsh, Air Force chief of staff, said Wednesday morning at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington.
I think it gives us a great mandate for communicating better with each other and understanding there could potentially be mistakes and miscommunication in this kind of interchange if we establish air defense zones that overlay airspace where we know other nations are already operating, Welsh said. This is a discussion that needs to happen, it needs to be an international discussion, we need to do it with our allies and I think were heavily involved in that right now. So I hope its an opportunity for better communication. Thats the only acceptable future.
The creation of the zone, which demands aircraft flying through it to file a flight plan with the Chinese government, is politically sensitive not just for its existence but because of the territory it claims for China. The zone covers a set of small islands claimed by China and Japan, as well as Japan and Taiwans own longstanding air defense zones. South Korea has indicated it will extend its zone in response to Chinas move.
China announced the new zone on Nov. 23. On Nov. 26, two Air Force B-52 bombers flew through the zone without permission from China, a clear message that was compounded days later when a dozen U.S. and Japanese planes, including an F-15, did the same.
They have capabilities to operate in that zone, clearly, and they have the equipment thats fairly capable, Welsh acknowledged when asked whether China could enforce its zone, before quickly pivoting back to his message that communication not military force is the best option.
The number of countries operating air defense zones around the world and particularly in the Pacific, where Japan, South Korea, China, and Taiwan share close proximity means diplomats have a lot to sort out.
Clearly we need to talk about this and we need to figure out how we will coexist in that part of the world without creating conflict, Welsh said. There is nothing beneficial about conflict in the [region]. So we need to discuss this. This needs to be decided diplomatically.
The global commons arent just maritime, theyre also the air above those maritime commons, he added. So were going to have to learn to operate in these spaces, and I think we can. I dont think we should focus on potential for conflict, we should focus on necessity of communication.
The military relationships between the two countries could provide an option for frank dialogue as well.
I dont think that the relationship between militaries will ever be the pillar of the U.S.-China relationship, at least not in the near term. But we hope it can be part of the connective tissue of that relationship and maybe allow communication that gets us through these concerns about new airspace control measures going up, whether its China or anywhere else, Welsh said.
Welsh added that he has an open invitation to the Chinese military air chief to visit the U.S. and hopes it will be accepted sometime in 2014.

Like all big coal-fired power plants, the 1,600-mega-watt-capacity Schwarze Pumpe plant in Spremberg, Germany, is undeniably dirty. Yet a small addition to the facility—a tiny boiler that pipes 30 MW worth of steam to local industrial customers—represents a hope for salvation from the global climate-changing consequences of burning fossil fuels.
To heat that boiler, the damp, crumbly brown coal known as lignite—which is even more polluting than the harder black anthracite variety—burns in the presence of pure oxygen, releasing as waste both water vapor and that more notorious greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO2). By condensing the water in a simple pipe, Vattenfall, the Swedish utility that owns the power plant, captures and isolates nearly 95 percent of the CO2 in a 99.7 percent pure form.
That CO2 is then compressed into a liquid and given to another company, Linde, for sale; potential users range from the makers of carbonated beverages, such as Coca-Cola, to oil firms that use it to flush more petroleum out of declining deposits. In principle, however, the CO2 could also be pumped deep underground and locked safely away in specific rock formations for millennia.
From the International Energy Agency to the United Nations–sanctioned Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), such carbon capture and storage (CCS), particularly for coal-fired power plants, has been identified as a technology critical to enabling deep, rapid cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. After all, coal burning is responsible for 40 percent of the 30 billion metric tons of CO2 emitted by human activity every year. "There is the potential for the U.S. and other countries to continue to rely on coal as a source of energy while at the same time protecting the climate from the massive greenhouse gas emissions associated with coal," says Steve Caldwell, coordinator for regional climate change policy at the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, an Arlington, Va., think tank.
Even President Barack Obama has labeled the technology as important for "energy independence" and included $3.4 billion in the economic stimulus package for "clean coal" power plants. But although multiple projects around the world examine or test aspects of CCS, few of them have been connected to a full-size power plant: one producing on average 500 MW and upward of 10,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide a day—the core of the emissions problem.
"It makes nine metric tons of CO2 per hour at full load," says Staffan Görtz, Vattenfall's CCS spokesperson, of the $100-million CCS demonstration boiler at Schwarze Pumpe. But he acknowledges that "we don't have a storage site yet."
Buried at Sea
Storage may be the simplest part of the CCS challenge. After all, since 1996, the Norwegian oil company StatoilHydro has been stripping CO2 out of natural gas from the Sleipner field in the North Sea and rather than venting it to the atmosphere has been pumping it back into the field 1,000 meters deep for permanent storage.
The basics of carbon dioxide storage are simple: the same Utsira sandstone formation that has stored the natural gas for millions of years can serve to trap the CO2, explains Olav Kaarstad, CCS adviser at Statoil. The 250-meter-thick band of sandstone—porous, crumbly rock that traps the gas in the minute spaces between its particles—is topped by a relatively impermeable 200-meter-thick layer of shale and mudstone (think hardened clay). "We aren't really much worried about the integrity of the seal and whether the CO2 will stay down there over many hundreds of years," Kaarstad says.
More than 12 million metric tons of CO2 have been injected into the formation, he notes. Statoil monitors its storage through periodic seismic testing, a process that is not unlike a sonogram through the earth, according to hydrologist Sally Benson, director of the global climate and energy project at Stanford University. That monitoring indicates that between 1996 and this past March, the liquid CO2 has spread out as a thin layer permeating a three-square-kilometer expanse of porous sandstone—just 0.0001 percent of the area available for such storage.

Commencement Caps 90th Anniversary Celebration (Daily News-Record)
Cords of Distinction Recipients

2008 Graduates Urged to Be
'Bridge Builders'
Partly-cloudy skies and pleasant temperatures provided a near-ideal backdrop Sunday afternoon, Apr. 27, for Eastern Mennonite University's annual commencement exercises.
More than 3,500 family members and friends filled the front lawn of campus to celebrate the achievements of the 411 members of the EMU class of 2008.
President Loren Swartzendruber awarded 291 undergraduate, 89 graduate, 17 associate degrees and 14 study certificates during the ceremonies to cap the university's 90th anniversary year. Cheers and applause erupted repeatedly and helium-filled balloons lofted skyward during the awarding of degrees.
'Minds, hands and hearts'
Beryl H. Brubaker, EMU provost
EMU provost Beryl H. Brubaker, who is retiring after 37 years on the faculty, gave the commencement address on the theme, "A Metaphor for Remembering." She called the graduates to go out into the world as "bridge builders," whatever their pursuits.
Brubaker, who joined the EMU faculty in 1970 and has served 37 years in teaching and administrative roles, including seven months in 2003 as interim president, noted that "EMU graduates have been building bridges in this contentious and competitive world since the school's founding in 1917."
"Bridges are beautiful, utilitarian connections made by human minds, hands and hearts," Brubaker said. "As you graduate today, take this EMU memory with you. If you would offer healing and hope in our diverse world, you must be about bridge building."
She went on to describe the work of several alumnae who are working at reconciling people in difficult settings:
- Jessica King, who became executive director of Union Project in Pittsburgh, Pa., whose aim is to foster constructive relationships among neighbors;
- Sharon Kniss, who works for an organization called Bridge Builders in London, England;
- and Carolyn Schrock Shenk, a professor of peace and justice at Goshen (Ind.) College who built a relationship with a local woman whose son is a soldier in Afghanistan.
'Bridge building both art and science'
An example of bridge building on campus is EMU's Center for Justice and Peacebuilding, which has started a program to help soldiers with trauma healing in the aftermath of warfare.
"At EMU, we believe our call is not to lay aside differences, but rather to build bridges that span differences and to make connections that foster relationships in which people learn to value the other," she said.
"This vocation of bridge building, both art and science, surely requires all the gifts God's Spirit enables in us - kindness when we feel exasperated, gentleness with others and ourselves when we fail to be all that we wish, careful discernment to know when to give up cherished ideas and endurance so the effort doesn't collapse.
"Picture thousands of EMU graduates reaching out in the workplace, in communities across this nation, reaching south of of our border and across the ocean, in the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia, working at building bridges to accomplish our EMU vision - doing justice, loving mercy and walking humbly with God," Dr. Brubaker said.
Blessing and Honors
Chester L. Wenger, 90, of Lancaster, Pa., gave a powerful prayer of blessing on the graduates. He is the only surviving family member of A.D. Wenger, the second president of what was then Eastern Mennonite School, 1923-1935.
Ten undergraduate students wore blue and gold "Cords of Distinction" with their academic regalia. They were selected by faculty, staff and fellow students their peers for "consistently demonstrating a positive effect on the campus and broader community" and exemplifying the highest ideals of EMU.
Some students wore green ribbons to signify their commitment to a graduation pledge which states, "I commit myself to a lifestyle of social and environmental integrity and will seek to improve these aspects of the community in which I work."
The class of 2008 had 90 honors graduates, including three students who finished with perfect 4.0 grade point averages.

Gestational diabetes
is a form of diabetes that begins during pregnancy and usually resolves after the baby is born.
During pregnancy, placental hormones (growth hormone, prolactin, cortisol, placental lactogen, progesterone) are produced that can block the effectiveness of insulin, leading to a relative insulin resistance. Insulin is a hormone that helps the body convert food into energy. Without insulin, glucose from the food you eat cannot enter cells, and glucose builds up in the blood.
In most women, the pancreas increases insulin production enough to offset this resistance. When the pancreas fails to keep pace, gestational diabetes occurs. In addition to causing problems for the mother, the excess glucose in the blood can cross the placenta and cause problems for the baby.
Complications for women with gestational diabetes mellitus include an increased chance of:
Complications affecting the fetus or infant include:
Children whose mothers had gestational diabetes are at higher risk for developing
type 2 diabetes

We truly cannot overestimate the value of the crime lab, Dean told hundreds gathered outside the new Officer Paul Scurry Building in Madison. I know well be able to do even better to solve crimes and prevent crimes.
City officials hope that bringing more criminal testing under a local umbrella will mean speedier results, smoother prosecutions and a leg up on crime prevention.
Police Chief Steve Anderson said a team of scientists was hired to staff the lab.
For those of you who watch TV, CSI has nothing on us, Anderson said.
The lab, which will perform DNA testing and firearms and drug analysis, will work in the coming months to get accredited.
The Myatt Drive building also offers a new space for the Madison precinct, which was established in 2012. Precinct officers have been working in temporary quarters next door to the new building.
Anderson said major crime in Madison fell 15 percent in 2013. Precinct Commander Sebastian Gourdin said the precincts new home could further strengthen police presence in the neighborhood because it offers a meeting room for community use.

In 1986, my world was turned upside-down upon hearing four words: You have breast cancer. During the following five years, I turned to nature for strength and support. I dreamed of walking in the woods, sitting by a waterfall, hiking in the wilderness and filling my soul with a healing light from an inner sun. I saw only black and white.

No longer considered the cheater's power adder, nitrous oxide systems have become a popular and cost-effective method for boosting the power output of late-model vehicles. In fact, a carefully matched nitrous oxide system delivers an excellent performance-per-dollar value, as well as the benefit of no affect on drivability when the system is off.
In short, nitrous is there when desired and invisible when not. A nitrous system also is comparatively easy to install, as we found out with the installation of a ZEX (www.zex.com) system, including an LED-lit purge system, as it was adapted to a Chrysler 300C SRT8. The installation was performed at Paul's High Performance (www.paulshp.com), in Jackson, Mich.
Nitrous oxide is a compound of nitrogen and oxygen – two nitrogen atoms and one oxygen atom per molecule – and is 66 percent nitrogen and 33 percent oxygen by volume. It is a very "cold" compound; it boils at -129 degrees F (-89 degrees C) and is a gas at room temperature; it requires 760 psi to squeeze it into a liquid.
More important than its volumetric properties is nitrous oxide's oxygen content by weight, which is 36 percent. The atmosphere is 23 percent oxygen by weight. N2O also is about 50 percent denser than the atmosphere, so a cubic foot of nitrous oxide contains more than twice the oxygen of the air inhaled by humans – or automotive engines.
Like other power adders, such as a supercharger, turbocharger or even a set of high-flow cylinder heads, the optimal air/fuel ratio of the engine must be maintained, as well as spark timing. Simply put, a large increase in cylinder pressure, such as that delivered by nitrous oxide, will likely cause severe detonation without a corresponding change (retarding) of timing. Adequate fuel supply also is a must, as a super-oxygenated air/fuel mixture will go too lean without a matching boost in fuel.
Fortunately, the engine construction and sophisticated controls of most modern vehicles – including 5.7L and 6.1L Hemi-equipped vehicles – are very adaptable to low-to-medium doses of nitrous oxide. The biggest caveats are working with vehicle's engine controller and being cognizant of the engine's durability limit.
What does that mean on the Hemi engine? Without any computer programming that drastically retards timing, the horsepower "hit" of the nitrous is limited to about 75 horsepower. For a 100-horsepower "shot," 2 degrees of timing would have to be taken out – and the factory computer won't do it. Generally speaking, timing should be retarded 2 degrees for every 50 horsepower of nitrous power.
The performance of the 75-horsepower baseline is somewhat misleading, as the nitrous system doesn't simply add 75 additional horsepower across the rpm range. Because engines make different horsepower and torque at different rpm levels, based on airflow and other factors, the nitrous-boosted engine simply does the same. As for the practical limits of the Hemi engine, it's pretty durable. In stock trim it can generally handle more nitrous than allowed by the computer's limitations. That said, however, both the 5.7L and 6.1L engines have cast pistons. They aren't as hard or durable as forged pistons and would likely be the weak point with sustained, high-horsepower hits of nitrous – more than could be handled with the stock computer.
Dedicated kits marketed specifically for Hemi-powered vehicles were few. Luckily, the basic components of all nitrous systems are, for the most part, universal – such as the ZEX system used in this story. They include a storage tank for the nitrous (usually a 10-pound bottle), braided steel lines to carry the nitrous, activation solenoids, a fuel line tie-in and activation switches.
An advantage of the Hemi – car, pickup or SUV – is its electronic throttle control, which eliminates the need for a micro-switch to be installed near the throttle. Instead, the nitrous system's activation switch can be spliced into the throttle control wiring harness. By tying in to the throttle position sensor (TPS) output voltage wire, the TPS voltage signal determines when the nitrous system engages – below wide open throttle, no activation; at wide open throttle, the nitrous system engages.
The biggest hassle with a "general" kit, such as the one used in the installation outlined here, is the trial-and-error procedure required to determine the correct TPS voltage wire among the numerous wires in the electronic throttle's wiring harness. This is done by depressing the throttle pedal with the power on and the engine off. A handheld voltmeter is used to test the wires in order to determine which one is the correct voltage output carrier. Determining the correct TPS voltage wire requires manual activation of the throttle blade while testing a wire with a test light and depressing the pedal. Once the TPS voltage wire is located, a connection from the nitrous controller simply attaches to the wire and enables the wide-open throttle activation.
From there, an instant rush of power is just a press of the throttle away.

Bills linebacker Nick Barnett (50) pursues Rams RB Steven Jackson for a tackle.
The revamping of the Buffalo Bills roster got off to a rousing start Monday afternoon when the team announced it cut two veterans, strong safety George Wilson and linebacker Nick Barnett.
The release of Buffalo's top two tacklers on defense in 2012 should free up approximately $6.4 million in salary cap space, which will likely be needed to replace them in free agency.
There has been speculation ever since new head coach Doug Marrone hired Mike Pettine of the New York Jets to be his defensive coordinator last month that soon-to-be free agent strong safety LaRon Landry and linebacker Bart Scott ...

In 2000, 170 U.S. House members voted against giving China permanent "normal trade relations." They didn't feel more free trade with China would lead to Chinese political reforms.
Today, they could tell you, "I told you so." Some would argue that the passage of the measure has done worse damage than they thought: It has helped legitimize authoritarianism.
The U.S. has often cozied up to despots in the name of realpolitik. But in 2000, Congress did so with a potential superpower. That vote, which included approving China's 2001 entry into the World Trade Organization, positioned China to eclipse the U.S. economically, flex its repressive muscles and build its military physique.
U.S. consumers got cheaper goods in the deal. Corporations got some access to China's markets. But the fallout — unanticipated by most of Congress — devastated Americans: millions of lost jobs; billions of dollars of economic growth vaporized; more than a trillion dollars in hock to China. China's economy could roar past America's by 2018, and so could its military spending.
Americans have become complacent about this trend. Most U.S. companies with operations in China have, in effect, supplied capital, technology, know-how and products to fuel a totalitarian communist regime. The victim in the U.S. has been freedom — freedom to maneuver as a global power without deferring to China.
Western business leaders have deferred to China for years. Today, instead of faulting Chinese repression and illegal trade practices, they tacitly condone them out of fear of Chinese retaliation against their China units. Many U.S. CEOs gripe in private about feeling muzzled, but they dare not go public. Their recalcitrance extends to politics and the classroom.
Americans as a whole have also deferred to China. Although people condemn U.S. government loans and tax incentives for renewable-energy businesses, they ignore the Chinese government's strategy of bankrupting U.S. companies developing technologies of the future. Many also criticize Congress for issuing a report warning of the risks of spying by China telecom-equipment maker Huawei Technologies. They call U.S. concern "protectionism," instead of a security risk.
Investors defer to China, as well. Retail investors eagerly buy PetroChina, China Southern Airlines and other state-controlled companies. Big equity investors do the same and more. Neither protests when China's state-controlled enterprises buy sensitive assets in the U.S.
One example: A unit of a Chinese state-controlled enterprise bought AMC Entertainment Holdings in September for $2.6 billion. AMC runs nearly 5,000 screens watched by 200 million Americans a year in 32 states, a natural outlet for Chinese propaganda.
On the global stage, Americans remain far too blasé about China's growing geopolitical power. China stirs up trouble in North Korea, Iran, Pakistan and islands owned by Japan and the Philippines. It mounts cyberwarfare against U.S. targets. It beefs up its naval assets, including a string of ports across the Indian Ocean. While Americans make little fuss, China's actions drain the U.S. of funds for military countermeasures.
Meanwhile, China uses its membership in the U.N., International Monetary Fund and G20 to lead anti-democratic factions against U.S. interests. It has more say — and the U.S. less — under the "big tent" of multilateral institutions founded on Western values. While China gains prestige in these institutions, it undermines regional stability with its support of Syria and Iran. Its actions pose the risk of drawing the U.S. into a new conflict.
This begs the question: Since when has making a dollar taken priority over our security and democratic freedoms? Moreover, how do we get the U.S. back to leading the geopolitical game?
Here are some specific economic actions the U.S. could take: Promote diversification away from Chinese suppliers and investments. Shut China out of further entry into U.S. markets, especially in banking, electronics, energy and telecom. Accelerate efforts to craft trade pacts, or trading blocs, that exclude China. Fashion incentives to dissuade U.S. companies from sending capital, technology and know-how to China, all of which bolster the regime and sap our military and geopolitical power to promote democracy.
Some specific security actions we could also take: Replace our opportunistic set of alliances with a free-world bloc. Include in the democratic bloc countries dedicated to free trade that furthers the wealth of democratic nations that play by the rules. Isolate and contain nations like China that insist on using economic power to undercut democracy. The core of an alliance might include the U.S., Japan, the European Union and India.
All of this should be part of a new U.S. strategy. We should remember what Congress debated a dozen years ago: safeguarding and advancing democracy. We need to take stock anew of the threats to our values, and reawaken America's spirit to defend democracy and oppose authoritarianism at whatever cost.

'Star Trek Into Darkness,' starring Chris Pine as Captain Kirk, is just one of several films airing highly anticipated ad spots over the course of Super Bowl Sunday. / Zade Rosenthal / Paramount Pictures

When it comes to Super Bowl ad strategy, Hollywood studios go strictly with their first-team players and leave the reserves on the bench.
The half-dozen movies that are paying a reported $4 million for a 30-second spot this year are the blockbuster tent-pole franchises, which means the likes of Iron Man, the Lone Ranger and Captain Kirk will vie tonight for the attention of an international viewing audience estimated at more than 100 million.
Independent movies and smaller studio releases without mass appeal didn't even bother to step into the ring.
"These are the movies that the six major studios have identified as the top priorities for the spring and summer, because otherwise it's just too cost-prohibitive," says Dave Karger, a chief correspondent for movie ticket website Fandango.com. "You're not going to see Harvey Weinstein advertising on the Super Bowl, I'll put it that way."
• FOOD: Need Super Bowl snack ideas? Try these recipes
• ADS: Watch the best Super Bowl commercials
• GAME: Follow our live blog
For Joe Roth, producer of "Oz: The Great and Powerful," the decision to add a Super Bowl commercial to a movie's bottom line is not taken lightly. But the allure of the mass audience is worth the investment for the prequel to "The Wizard of Oz" that's due out March 8.
"The Library of Congress says the original 'Wizard of Oz' is the most-watched film of all time. So why not pick this title, which is obviously quite broad, and put it in front of the largest television audience available to you?" says Roth. "If it's a movie that plays to 12-year-old girls, we wouldn't do it. This is an 8-to-80 picture. It is not going to leave anyone out. And the Super Bowl is really the only television event of the year that plays that way."
The Super Bowl ads are also celebrated and watched in a way that most commercials are not during the rest of the year. "Oz," like other films advertising today, is taking advantage of the Super hype to put out teasers of the ad itself the demand to see the sneak-peek spots is that high.
"The early attenders who come to movies are often the very people who skip over commercials on regular shows," says Roth. "Here's an event, the Super Bowl, where commercials are a Super Bowl onto themselves. They are celebrated."
The spots are guaranteed at least one viewer: "I'll be glued to the TV," says Roth, "and rooting for the 49ers."

In the wake of superstorm Sandy, some area hospitals are finding their emergency rooms three times busier than this time last year.
Power outages have kept people from visiting their doctors or picking up their medications, so theyre coming to the emergency rooms with anyone who is getting injured from using chainsaws or generators and those who need care for regular emergencies, said Robert Cavanaugh, spokesman for the Meridian Health system.
The five hospitals within the health system are having trouble getting in touch with staff about opening additional units to treat the extra patients because of cellphone issues and others are running out of gas and unable to fill up because of busy or closed stations, he said.
Theres obstacles on both sides, Cavanaugh said.
The staff has made the difference at Meridian and other area hospitals during the storm and in the days after.
It was a challenging time for everybody involved in the storm, but from our perspective, the staff was great, said Mike Slusarc, vice president of community affairs for Barnabas Health. They were there. They stayed when they were needed. They persevered and it just shows their dedication is to the patients.
Slusarc said the hospitals have disaster plans in place to prepare for situations like Sandy. They had to rely on that plan last year for Hurricane Irene, too.
The emergency room volume within Barnabas facilities also is heavy, Slusarc said. Staff is handling the volume day by day, he said.
Barnabas Health has six facilities, including Community Medical Center in Toms River, Kimball Medical Center in Lakewood and Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch.
Meridian Health includes Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, Ocean Medical Center in Brick, Riverview Medical Center in Red Bank, Southern Ocean Medical Center in Manahawkin and Bayshore Community Hospital.
Abbey Luterick, director of public relations for CentraState, said they are operating business as usual, except that the hospital was only doing emergency surgeries Tuesday.
The emergency department was busy, but we were prepared, which has helped us in this crisis, she said.
Many hospitals lost power during the storm and some have yet to get it back. The medical centers have been running with generators, which have helped the staff continue to provide care.
Having backup power helped a Meridian hospital in Holmdel help more than its patients.
After a shelter in Hazlet started taking on water, Bayshore Community Medical Center welcomed families to use its spare patient beds and sleeping areas to wait out the storm system, Cavanaugh said. The hospital staff also took care of six area firefighters who had come in with hypothermia after rescuing people from the waters.
It makes you proud to work in a hospital, said Tom Paolella, Bayshore spokesman, said as he recalled the staffs from housekeeping to management that stayed to help all the patients and overnight guests.
Only Jersey Shore and Riverview within Meridians system are back to full power. Some but not all Barnabas hospitals have power again.
Neither system is fully back to regular scheduling, including only doing emergency surgeries in some locations, but hope to get back to normal operations soon, according to hospital officials.

James Franco tweeted this snap amid the morning mayhem at LAX. / James Franco, Instagram
Stars are tweeting about the tragedy unfolding on their turf of tarmac, LAX.
Some seem grateful and indignant, such as Lisa Rinna:
"Shooting at LAX Virgin America so scary!"
"HH (husband Harry Hamlin) and I were just flying virgin America this week through LAX"
"So now what #Homelandsecurity? #lax #shooting"
"So now what happens BEFORE you get to the TSA agents and security at all airports?"
Others are getting angrily political, including Patton Oswalt:
"Let's see if the gun rights advocates can wait a decent interval before spouting their bullsh - oops, never mind. #LAX"
Andy Cohen got contemplative:
"#TSA agents have impossible jobs to begin with.. Awful."
There are those in the thick of it, such as Nick Jonas:
"Landed at LAX at (sic) to the news that there was a shooting in the terminal my plane was supposed to deplane at."
"Currently waiting on the plane in a remote parking area. I am safe. Praying for the victims of this shooting."
And then there's James Franco, who got profane and pensive - in a selfie shot from inside a plane:
"At #lax Some (bleep)bag shot up the place."

The OCCAC Baseball Committee has selected Sinclair's Austin Downing as the OCCAC Baseball Player of the Week for week one of league play. The committee has also tagged Sinclair pitcher Corey Johnson as week one OCCAC Pitcher of the Week.
The Pride took on Owens in the first league series during the week, and second baseman Austin Downing (Middletown, Ohio) lit up the hitting category by going .500 for the first four games. He also had a home run, 4 RBIs and two stolen bases.
Coach Stephen Dintaman is quoted as saying, "Austin had a great weekend for us. He came through with a walk-off single in game one and hit a big home run for us in game two. He was on base all weekend and played good defense."
Corey Johnson of Sinclair was also named as week one OCCAC Pitcher of the Week. Corey is a right-handed pitcher out of Tippecanoe High School. During his outing against Owens, Sinclair won 3-1 while he pitched six innings. Corey allowed only three hits and one run and struck out seven batters.
Coach Dintaman states, "Corey took advantage of his first conference start and gave us six strong innings. He's shown great composure on the mound this year and really competes every time out."
Congratulations to both Austin and Corey for their outstanding play during week one of league play. We wish them continued success throughout the remainder of the season!

Modern EMS in Tennessee was created by state legislation in 1972. This law authorized the training of Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and mandated the creation of standards for ambulances and medical equipment. The Office of EMS was formed to coordinate training and certification of EMTs, implement ambulance licensing standards to include vehicle inspection and permitting and plan EMS system development. An EMS Advisory Council was established to advise the Department of Health on EMS policy and regulations.
In 1973 legislation mandated the training and certification of Paramedics. In 1977 legislation authorized the creation and management of a statewide system of EMS radio communications. This completed the legal authorization for the initial development of Tennessee's EMS system.
In 1983 the EMS Advisory Council and the Department of Health sponsored legislation to create the state EMS Board. The legislation passed and the first EMS Board in the U.S. met in June of 1983. The Board is comprised of thirteen persons appointed by the Governor. It is authorized to establish all EMS rules and to serve as an appeals body for cases the Department brings against EMS providers.
Since 1983 the Board has regulated the EMS system through a consensus process involving several standing and ad hoc committees. EMS providers thereby have input into the rules that govern EMS.
Today the EMS Office, operating under the rules of the EMS Board, oversees a statewide EMS system comprised of thousands of Paramedics and EMTs who work for 210 ambulance services that operate 1,300 ambulances that make more than 1,000,000 patient transports annually.
Office of EMS

Hospital trauma centers are designated under the rules of the Board for Licensing Health Care Facilities (BLHCF). Hospitals voluntarily seek trauma center designation in order to care for the most seriously injured patients with the goal of reducing patient mortality and morbidity. Over 20,000 patients are admitted to Tennessee trauma centers annually, with more than 18,000 seen at the six level one centers located in Memphis, Nashville, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Johnson City and Kingsport.
The Office of EMS is responsible for conducting the inspection process by contracting with qualified trauma surgeons and nurses and scheduling trauma center inspections that are conducted within a three year designation period as stipulated in BLHCF rules.
The Office of Emergency Medical Services coordinates provision of effective and rapid delivery of emergency medical services to the general population and operational radio communications between ambulances and hospitals. The Office maintains liaison with emergency service agencies and the Tennessee Emergency Communications Board concerning access of emergency medical services through the 911 emergency-telephone system.
Telecommunications coordination is a responsibility established in Tennessee Code Annotated, Title §68-140-201 et seq. Special radio systems and frequencies are used to dispatch ambulances and provide for medical communications between the ambulance and hospital. These components are identified in EMS rules and the EMS Telecommunications Plan, which was last revised in June 1997.
The Federal Communications Commission must license EMS radio stations or communications systems. Information on federal regulations, licensing requirements, and forms may be obtained from their website, www.fcc.gov.
An RMCC is a state designated communications entity with a regional mission and focus that coordinates hospitals, ambulance services and other medical resources, in real time, to optimize emergency patient care in situations where local governments and health care providers request assistance.

Steve Earle M-21 Custom Artist Edition<br>A Straightforward Stage & Studio Model With Classic Style 21 Appointments
Source: Sounding Board Newsletter Vol 25 - Jun. 2008
M-21 Steve Earle
With Texas roots, Nashville credentials, New York sensibilities, and maverick spirit, singer/songwriter Steve Earle leaves any preconceived notions regarding his music in the dust. That includes the guitars he plays, and helps explain how the new Martin M-21 Steve Earle Custom Edition came to be.
In 2005 Earle moved to New York City and soon found his way to Matt Umanov Guitars. Matt Umanov, who has been matching players with instruments since 1965, guided his new customer in the purchase of a few Martin guitars and along the way introduced him to the M body style, which combines jumbo (0000) size with 000 depth. Umanov knows the body style well; his conversion of an old Martin archtop for David Bromberg served as the pattern for the Martin M (for additional information, see the David Bromberg article in the July 2006 "Sounding Board"). The Martin M quickly became Earle's favorite acoustic, so much so that he now tours with a pair of them.
His enthusiasm for the Martin "M" jump-started development of a Martin Steve Earle signature guitar. Earle turned to Umanov for help with the details and together they created the Martin M-21 Steve Earle Custom Edition, a "poor man's" M that showcases this body style's big, balanced sound and playing comfort in an elegant, affordable package.
Like the route to his namesake Martin guitar, Steve Earle has never been predictable. Raised in Texas, he found the guitar at age 11 and found his first musical mentor in songwriter Townes Van Zandt while still a teenager.
At age 19 he moved to Nashville, where he took odd jobs, played in various bands, wrote songs and connected with some of Music City's new generation, most notably singer/songwriter Guy Clark. Some of his early songs were recorded by Carl Perkins, Vince Gill and Steve Wariner.
His earliest recordings – in the early 1980s - were in the rockabilly vein and received scant attention. Everything changed with the release of Guitar Town in 1986; the album received glowing reviews, eventually went gold and netted him his first two Grammy nominations. Exit 0 in 1987 and Copperhead Road in 1988 continued the hot streak, with hit country singles and excellent sales. But drugs began to take their toll and after release of The Hard Way in 1990, he took a hiatus from music that included time in jail on drug and firearms charges.
Putting his problems behind him, Earle came back strong in 1994 with the acoustic Train a Comin', which garnered another Grammy nomination. The decision to establish his own record label – E-Squared Records – freed him to move beyond contemporary country to tackle rock, folk and bluegrass. In the years since, he has released seven albums, often using his music to address social and political issues. His latest, Washington Square Serenade, which blends acoustic folk with techno sizzle, was released late in 2007 to outstanding reviews and received the 2008 Grammy Award for "Best Contemporary Folk/Americana Album."
In all he has won two Grammy Awards (and been nominated 13 times), had songs covered by artists ranging from the Pretenders and Joan Baez to Johnny Cash and Emmylou Harris, had his music featured in several movies, including Dead Man Walking, Talladega Nights and Bridge to Terabithia, played a recurring role in the HBO series "The Wire," and written Doghouse Roses, a book of short stories. He continues to tour frequently, often with his wife, Allison Moorer.
With two guitar perfectionists like Steve Earle and Matt Umanov in charge, the M-21 Steve Earle Custom Edition naturally receives superb solid tonewoods. The top is Italian alpine spruce, revered for its clear, rich tone, and the addition of 5/16" forward-shifted scalloped top bracing enhances balance and responsiveness. The back and sides are East Indian rosewood for warmth and power. The 1 11/16" (at the nut) low profile neck is carved from genuine mahogany. The headplate, fingerboard and bridge are all East Indian rosewood.
Like Martin Style 21s of the past, the M-21 Steve Earle Custom Edition blends Style 18 and Style 28 appointments, plus a few unique to Style 21. The Style 18 rosette and St yle 28 checkerboard backstrip blend beautifully with the subtle Style 21 top and back purfling and tortoise-color binding. The polished headplate frames the old style gold C. F. Martin logo decal and Waverly nickel tuners with butterbean buttons give the headstock a decidedly "old school" look. The fingerboard features Style 21 "Doppler dot" (progressively smaller) position markers from the 5th to the 17th frets, and the "black with white dots" bridge pins and end pin are also Style 21.
The polished and beveled nitrate tortoise color pickguard and aging toner on the top complete the instrument's vintage-inspired style. The body showcases Martin's flawless polished gloss lacquer finish; the neck receives a satin finish for player comfort.
Delivered in a blue molded hardshell case, each Mar tin M-21 Steve Earle Custom Edition guitar features an interior label personally signed by Steve Earle and Matt Umanov, and numbered in sequence without a total. Left-handed instruments may be ordered at no additional charge. Factory-installed electronics and a sunburst finish are extra-cost options. Authorized C. F. Martin dealers will begin accepting orders for the M-21 Steve Earle Custom Edition immediately.

Lawmakers are wrestling with changes in the military justice system to improve investigation and prosecution of rape and sexual assault cases, with a push toward handling have sex crimes handled outside the normal chain of command.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., sponsor of one of the proposals and chairwoman of the Senate Armed Services Committees personnel panel, said an unfortunate confluence of events a study showing rising reports of sexual assault in the ranks, and two cases of people in charge of sexual assault prevention programs accused of perpetrating what they were supposed to be stopping have focused attention to the problem and created the momentum to do something.
For all of us, we believe enough is enough, Gillibrand said. We have to seize cease this opportunity and act now.
One of the unresolved questions is how much independence is needed to create a culture in which victims feel comfortable reporting incidents without interfering with the military command hierarchy. An answer is likely to come in the next two months as Congress works on the 2014 defense authorization bill, the likely vehicle for sexual assault and abuse legislation.
Getting the most attention is Gillibrands Military Justice Improvement Act, a bipartisan and bicameral bill unveiled Thursday that would remove from the chain of command decisions about prosecuting crimes that carry a possible sentence of a year or more in jail. That would extends beyond just sex crimes, and would exclude only crimes of a military-unique nature, such as disobeying orders or unauthorized absence.
It also would codify a decision made last month by Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to limit the authority of court-martial convening authorities to overturn or reduce guilty verdicts, while adding a provision that would require written justification by the convening authority for any change in the sentence handed down by a judge or panel in a court-martial.
Gillibrand said an independent judicial system for some crimes would give confidence to victims that reported crimes will be investigated and prosecuted.
The bill confronts this issue head-on by removing decision-making from the chain of command and giving that discretion to experienced trial counsel with prosecutorial experiences, where it belongs, she said.
That is how we will achieve accountability, justice and fairness, she said.
This is a sensible bill to stop an epidemic, said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, one of the bill sponsors, who added that the chain of command has not been responsive in the past when she raised questions about rape and sexual assault in the ranks.
Gillibrands position as leader of the Senate panel responsible for personnel policy gives her bill an edge. But there are concerns about it.
A senior congressional aide who asked not to be identified said there is bipartisan concern that Gillibrands bill is overbroad and potentially unworkable.
It is written as a large-scale overhaul of the military justice system, instead of being targeted specifically at sexual abuse cases, said the aide.
This raises questions about how cases would be separated between military-unique and not-unique legal processes, the aide said.
There are questions about whether the JAG personnel exist to make determinations about the influx of cases theyd see and what it will mean to military commanders ability to impose discipline, when many infractions beyond sexual assault are taken out of their purview, the aide said.
A competing and less sweeping bill, the Combating Military Sexual Assault Act, also bipartisan, is sponsored Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash.
That measure would require that all rape and sexual assault offenses be considered for a general court-martial.
Presenting the case to a general court-martial convening authority, usually a flag or general officer, is aimed at preventing lower-level commanders from disposing of a case through non-judicial punishment or no punishment, a frequent complaint of critics of the current military justice system.
This is less sweeping than Gillibrands measure, while still taking the decision on prosecution away from the accuseds immediate command.
A bill with the same name but different provisions was introduced in the House by Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio. Ryans bill creates a special victims counsel to handle sexual assault and rape cases, providing guidance and assistance to any victim, regardless of whether the victim files an unrestricted incident report that would lead to charges against an alleged perpetrator.
Murray said the aim is to provide support and confidence for rape and assault victims. Not only are we subjecting our men and women to this disgusting epidemic, but were also failing to provide the victims with any meaningful support system once they have fallen victim to these attacks, she said.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., a cosponsor of Murrays bill and a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said the legislation is clearly needed. When a service member fails to live up to our values and commits sexual assault, we must ensure the victims have the support they need and the perpetrators face justice, she said.
Ayotte said Murrays bill would strengthen existing laws and policies so that all victims can come forward without fear of retribution and with confidence that they will receive the support, care, and justice they deserve.

Nice Shirt
My experience was different from the other reviews. I like the quality and the already washed look. I wear a small and mine fits perfectly. Honestly, I thought I was ordering a Pima Cotton shirt but that was my fault. It's probably more casual than the Pima shirts.
Rochester NY
Do not wear well...
Bought 3 of these shirts and in less than a couple months of light use, two have holes in them around the seams. Really surprised at the poor quality given the price and the brands reputation. I guess I'll need to look elsewhere for replacements.Oh, and the sizing is insanely off, too. I'm 6'00" and weight 175 lbs with an athletic build. Guess what size fits me? A small! Yes, a small! Beware.
Seattle, WA
Quality not as good as previous Ts
The newest version of these Ts fit way too big! The sleeves are entirely too long. They don't last as long either so IMO these Ts are no longer worth their hefty price! They wear holes quickly at the logo and where the cuff attaches to the sleeve. I used to absolutely love these Ts but.... NO MORE !!!
Very good shirt
I love these shirts-- comfortable and good-looking. I wear them almost daily. Due to the dye process, I think, they do have a tendency to spot-stain, usually for no apparent reason. It often takes stain remover and a hot wash to clean, even though instructions call for a cold wash.One personal rant: would reviewers please stop giving one-star reviews because what you ordered was too small/large for you? Please stick to rating clothing according to its quality, not eclectic personal gripes.
National City, CA
Similar to the previous A-List tees...
Great Tee...very similar to the previous A-List tees, but a little thinner and softer. Be advised these tees are sized generously, like the older version. I am 5'10 and 160, and typically wear medium in most brands. With these tees, I ordered a small and they fit like most other brands' mediums. They wash and wear beautifully...getting softer with each use. Once you figure out the sizing thing, they are fabulous tees.
Boulder, CO
Design Flaw
Wears holes next to embossed logo. Since logo is stiffer than surrounding fabric it creates stress where stiff logo and softer fabric meet.
Hallelujah, The A-List Returns !
The Ultimate Tee is a return to the original A-List Tee Style, Design, Cut and most-importantly Material. Fantastic cut, great collar that keeps its shape, over-sized perfectly, perfect fit and feel. The greatest of t-shirts has returned, now called The Ultimate Tee.
Old School Territory Fan
Ames, IA
Small is VERY Large
I bought 5 of these shirts in size small. They fit very poorly--way to large. Sleeves are too long, the fabric almost drapes from my arms, and the main portion is wide and long. I had bought similar long-sleeve T's from Territory Ahead in size small that fit perfectly. These do not. Because I got them at a good Black Friday price and really need them, I'm going to see if washing them in hot water will shrink them down, even just a bit. Anything would help.
Tolland, CT
I like the fit but..............
I've purchase 4 of these long sleeved shirts & 1 shirt sleeved. They fit well and the fabric is nice. I do have an issue whit the dying process however. After wearing one of these, never having washed it yet, it has spotted as if bleach had been splattered on it. As I said, I've never had this near the washer. All I can imagine is while washing dishes perhaps water was splashed on it. But that should not have created permanent spots on the shirt, including the shoulder on the back! I have seen this in other "pigment dyed" shirts from Terr Ahead. If it happens again in any other shirts I'm not going to be happy!

On Friday, the Federal Aviation Administration announced the closing of 149 air traffic control towers staffed by contractors that will begin April 7.
The agency made the decision to keep 24 federal contract towers open that had been previously proposed for closure because doing so would have a negative impact on the national interest, according to an FAA news release.
The cuts are result of sequestration -- the $85 billion in spending cuts that went into effect on March 1 after Congress did not pass a budget.
The Cuyahoga County Airport will remain open despite the air traffic control tower closing. Once the Cuyahoga County Airport air traffic control tower closes, the tower will be controlled by another FAA owned tower.
"Closure of the air traffic control tower at the Cuyahoga County Airport is a mistake and could have serious consequences," said Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald.
"Aviation experts across the county have expressed concerns about the closures' impact on safety and on overall air traffic in each surrounding community, beyond what will happen at each individual airport. We will continue to work with our congressional representatives to address this decision and will consider all possible responses."
"There's going to be close calls, there's going to be midairs, there's going to be a runway accident," said Mamie Ambrose, an air traffic controller in Frederick, MD.
Of the $1 billion that will be a part of the U.S. Department of Transportation's budget cuts, $600 million will come from the FAA in fiscal year 2013.
With that amount, the contract tower program is facing a 75 percent reduction.

This is just weird.
It's basically the first version but it's on steroids.

Not a trailer in that it's not scenes an episode but rather just a collection of the monsters we're going to see. The word is "promo."

Ok, I have a reactive female pit mix-She gets along with all the male dogs that I have introduced her to. She is iffy on female dogs. She is going to be four in March. I am trying to figure out if I should get a puppy, or if I should get an adult. I know that it will be a male. I want an amstaff/mix or pit/pit mix. I have had a doberman, golden retriever, mixed dogs, and rotts. I rather not have a long haired dog. I COULD not bear to get a golden due to loosing him so near. This breed has just won my heart. I really do not want to ever have to crate and rotate. I know that there are not any gaurantees. I am going to find a dog/puppy that I can rescue. There will have to be a meet and greet. Hopefully be able to foster first and then adopt to make sure about them getting along. I was just wondering if anyone knew which way would be best. I also plan on doing the two week shutdown (cannot remember if I called that correctly). It will kill me....but, that will be done (esp if its a cute little puppy). I am just trying to see what would be a better match up for the future of the dogs. I really would like a puppy. I would take a younger adult. Right now, my heart is not strong enough to adopt an elder dog. I am going to have to decide to put down or loose my golden retriever from his cancer very soon. He is fourteen and has lived a marvelous life with me. I would like another companion, and I would like to be able to save another dog. Let me know your thoughts on which route you think would be best. My golden and her get along fine. She has always wanted to play with him and he was already in his olden, leave me alone dangit stage. I beleive that if I can find a suitable companion for me that she will be able to have fun as well. She resource guards against me with new dogs. She does not do it anymore with my golden, but, I had to get on her to let him come up and love me without her wanting to get in the way and air snip....then get in the way and kiss him. I told her I realized what she was doing and to stop. It took a bit, but she now stays where she is when het gets love.
Thanks in advance
