Book: sociologists seeks to explain the dearth of extremist Muslim terrorism
Richard Cimino
2011-08-31 21:48:00
A new book is unique among the steady stream of books on terrorism and Islam in devoting most of its pages to how Islamic extremists have been most ineffective and unpopular in their attacks both against the West and fellow Muslim societies, writes Richard Cimino in this review.
In his new book
The Missing Martyrs: Why There Are So Few Muslim Terrorists
(Oxford University Press), University of North Carolina sociologist Charles Kurzman portrays Islamic terrorists as often behaving like the "gang that couldn't shoot straight," as they miss their targets, fail to create much of a following, and are strongly divided among themselves. Kurzman does not discount the threat of terrorism, but he stresses that it is a rarer phenomenon than should be the case if many media reports and security experts have been on target about the sharp growth of Islamic extremism during the past decade.
Kurzman's book is unique among the steady stream of books on terrorism and Islam in devoting most of its pages to how Islamic extremists have been most ineffective and unpopular in their attacks both against the West and fellow Muslim societies. He builds his case by conducting and examining survey research, interviewing Muslims (both those sympathetic and against extremism), and studying extremist internal documents and websites.
Kurzman notes that there may well have been tens of thousands of prospective Islamic militants in the last quarter of a century, but most of them received little significant training and have dropped out of the movement. Even if they are still active, more than 99 percent of the world's billion Muslims have ignored the militants' constant calls to action. "Global Islamist terrorists have managed to recruit fewer than 1 in 15,000 Muslims over the past quarter century and few than 1 in 100,000 Muslims since 9/11," he writes. This shortage of qualified terrorists has translated to terrorist attacks that are few and far between-for instance, Kurzman finds that in the five years after 9/11, only 40 Muslim-Americans planned or carried out acts of domestic terrorism.
While terrorist organizations often claim they have waiting lists of volunteers eager to serve as martyrs, Kurzman finds that such lists are shorter than claimed, and most of the applicants were not deemed suitable for terrorist missions in the West. Even youths who admire terrorist leaders and view jihad as "cool," rarely reported interest in actually joining the ranks of such groups as Al Queda.
The main reason for the dearth of terrorists is that they are facing division and competition on several fronts. The global jihadists, such as Al Queda, compete for followings with nationalist-based Islamic movements, such as the Taliban of Afghanistan or Hamas of Palestine. While the former envisions a worldwide Islamic revolution, the latter groups tend to be more interested in Islamicizing their own societies and fighting foreign intervention. Although there are periods when nationalist-based terrorists work together with global Islamist terrorists, such as in Afghanistan and Iraq during the wars with the U.S., these alliances are usually temporary due to ideological and theological differences, according to Kurzman. For instance, the Taliban's belief in maintaining Muslim shrines of deceased religious leaders was often a point of contention for a group such as Al Queda, that believed such observance was a heretical diversion from pure Islam.
Global Islamic terrorist movements also compete with more liberal Islamic movements and societies. While liberal Islamic movements and institutions often represent a small elite in many societies, Kurzman cites their influence in the growing democratic sentiments of majorities in Muslim countries. At the same time, many Muslims still support the implementation of Sharia, or Islamic law, in their societies. It is this combination of social conservatism and democratic tendencies that offer the best counterweight to the appeal of terrorists, he adds. What Kurzman calls Islamic "televangelism," as seen in the strong appeal of Islamic media personalities and teachers such as Amr Khaled of Egypt, also offers "stiff competition for the revolutionaries...Both televangelists and revolutionaries offer parallel messages of Islamic renewal, calling for Muslims to reject their debauched ways and return to a stylized version of pure, early Islam-without giving up the modern ideas such as technological progress, economic development, and human equality."
Kurzman declines to offer predictions and forecasts on the prospects for future terrorist attacks. In fact, he spends a chapter suggesting that the security experts, think tanks, and even his own academic colleagues in Middle Eastern and Islamic studies have benefited from the public anxiety about terrorism but have not been very accurate in predicting these occurrences. He criticizes government-based efforts such as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and the Minerva Initiative, which enlists academics to use advanced social science computer and statistical methods to predict change and conflict in the Middle East and other Muslim societies and advance new policies.
Kurzman concludes that while terrorism may be exaggerated by governments and security experts, it is not the case that political leaders and specialists can easily defuse animosity and violent incidents. Neither aggressive U.S. foreign policy nor trying to foster diplomacy and pro-Islamic policies seem to prevent terrorism, since "Muslim attitudes toward the United States are largely stuck on negative." But an emphasis on listening to Islamic countries' concerns and building stronger relationships with the civilians on the ground during armed conflicts may go some way toward fostering more positive attitudes toward the U.S., he writes.

Re: Any antenna guidance appreciatedErik Weissmuller Dec 13, 2009 5:13 PM (in response to John Alexander)
John, antenna issues are probably the most challenging problem for engineers new to wireless design. To give you an example, I was working on a GSM product for the USA market. We had the hardest time getting through att certification. They kept telling us the antenna design was not good enough, even though we never really experienced trouble establishing a connection. The issue was that the antenna couldn't pick up a connection when the network signal strength was low. So while my phone had one bar, the device didn't see the network at all. Our redesign took over four months and we missed our launch deadline. it was pretty brutal.
If you're serious about building a connected device, I strongly encourage you to hire an antenna design firm. These guys know know what their doing. Or at the very least hire an experienced antenna design engineer. It will save you tremendous time / money in the end.
Also, AT&T has put up a good white paper on antenna design: http://developer.att.com/devcentral/tools_technologies/network/docs/Antenna_Fundamentals_v1.0.pdf
Good luck.
Re: Any antenna guidance appreciatedJohn Alexander Dec 15, 2009 9:45 PM (in response to Erik Weissmuller)
Great info. Do you have a short list of trustworthy antenna design shops in the US?
Re: Any antenna guidance appreciatedCurtis Govan Dec 16, 2009 10:41 PM (in response to John Alexander)
Erik - Taoglas is a reputable design house with a focus on M2M and customers new to wireless designs. http://www.taoglas.com/

Talk with the experts: www.ethertronics.com
They have a very high level of profissionalism apart from local support infrastructures (chambers to measure the antenna performance) and a really great technology called IMD (isolated magnect dipole) which provides smaller size, higher isolation and greater efficience.
See attached.
best regards,
Ps. I was at Cinterion when replied this message first and I had so many good experiences that I joined Ethertronics! The company is becoming well kown in the M2M market.

One thing we do when we design a device is make sure there is room to modify the RF signal path even after the PCB has been designed. Depending on the module being used; we recommend not using a transition cable based design. We've found during our design cycle that it is easier to use an RF trace and implement a passive antenna matching circuit. We do this for both cellular and GPS RF signal paths. Also; add ESD protection whenever possible to RF signal paths. Another thing to do is to utilize a co-planar waveguide PCB (see attachment.) This is important when it comes to the PCB material itself and ensuring proper routing of the RF signal path. This alone can cause failures if not done properly.
I've attached a schematic PDF of our open source design (ModelONEt) for the Telit GE865-QUAD module, and also an example RF matching circuit for GPS (this one is for a Trimble module.) You can see an example circuit you can use. A good antenna engineer can "tune in" your antenna. Taoglas is a good company to work with and they have outstanding antenna engineers. We use them in most of our designs. More or less; these antenna matching circuits don't necessarily need to be populated but are there to ensure that if you need to tune in the antenna after the PCB is designed, you can. The last thing you want to do is spend money building circuit boards that are paperweights and door stops because of poor RF performance. These passive circuits do offer some tuning ability after the fact. Leave them as "do not populate" and let the antenna engineer take over during testing.
We've found that with proper PCB layout and circuit implementations; along with the right antenna vendor its not that difficult to pass PTCRB. I recommend that once you have the first version of your hardware ready that you do a preliminary PTCRB "pre-test" that takes measurements at 90 deg. just to see where you are at. The only difference between the pre-test and actual PTCRB testing is that PTCRB is done at 30 deg. patterns. For a couple thousand dollars you can do a pretest with several of the PTCRB authorized labs and save yourself a headache. Also have the antenna vendor and/or module vendors assist you in a pretest.
Lastly; use EMI filters in the design, all over the place. Usually at minimum in front of the power supplies to the modules and core components. EMI on everything (except analog). What I typically do is install the filters and then remove them later for testing internally. If you don't encounter EMI/spurious issues, then remove them for production, else leave them in. It's much easier to design filters in and not install them than it is to add them in after the fact. Murata makes several filters and they are cheap. Better to prepare for a headache than to deal with one after the fact.

Reynolds has hired former Vernonia and Burns coach Ted Aubin as boys basketball coach.
Aubin replaces John Poetsch, who resigned after going 36-37 in three seasons with the Raiders. A 1992 Sandy graduate, Aubin said he is excited to teach and coach in the same district where his father, Ken, taught for 30 years.
"Being a guy who grew up in the area and being a part of the old Mt. Hood Conference, I've always been interested in being back in the area," Aubin said.
The Raiders have high expectations after a 2013-14 season in which they went 16-8, finished second in the conference and reached the Class 6A playoff round of 16. The team features 6-foot-10 senior Drew Eubanks, one of the state's top college prospects.
"Everybody has told me how good Reynolds could be and that they have some really good players coming back," Aubin said. "I don't know if they're upper echelon, but it sounds like they're pretty close to being there. That's always a lure as a coach."
Aubin went 49-80 in five seasons at Class 2A Vernonia (2006-11), ending a long playoff drought for the Loggers in his final year. He compiled a 44-30 record during his three-year run at Class 3A Burns (2011-14), where the team won the Eastern Oregon League title in 2013 and made the state playoffs twice.
Now he makes the big jump to Class 6A, taking over at a school with the second-largest enrollment in the state. Aubin, who will meet with his players for the first time Wednesday, said he wants to capitalize on the team's recent success.
"I know Reynolds has had some spikes with their success," Aubin said. "As a coach, I'm always looking for a challenge to maintain or build upon what's already put in place. Reynolds had a really good spike last year with some good players, and me coming in, I want to continue the momentum and move it on up higher.
"They were so close to being an elite-eight team, it sounds to me that a lot of them were excited to practice hard this summer and take another step forward this year."

One Company Sold, Second Company To Go Public, New Research Breakthrough May Support Third: The Story of a Faculty Entrepreneur
Santa Barbara, Calif.-- Larry Coldren, newly named to the Fred Kavli Chair in Optoelectronics and Sensors at the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB), has a curious knack for doing the right research ahead of its time.
Twice, with the tunable laser and with the short wavelength (0.85µm) Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL), the research group Coldren heads, has achieved breakthroughs whose usefulness was not at first readily apparent. But in both cases the devices eventually led to business ventures: the tunable laser to the Goleta-based Agility Communications, likely to go public in the year to come, and the short-wavelength VCSEL to Optical Concepts, sold in the mid-'90s to Gore Photonics based in Lompoc.
And a string of recent developments in Coldren's research group (See "Research Breakthrough for Fiber Optic Communications") has led to another round of submitted papers and patents on the long wavelength (1.55µm) VCSEL.
Unlike the two previous inventions, this one's commercial viability was immediately evident to the more than 100 industry, academic and government representatives who gathered mid-summer at the UCSB Optoelectronics Technology Center, which Coldren directs and where his students first presented his group's findings on the long-wavelength VCSEL.
Asked if he is en route to business number three, Coldren shrugs. He just doesn't know the answer. Maybe, he wonders aloud, the University of California, which has a stake in the patents, will steer the long-wavelength VCSEL to non-exclusive licensing agreements with more than one corporation, thereby making it difficult for a start-up to capitalize on the technology. It's just too soon to tell what's to become of his group's latest inventions.
Coldren really likes to make things that will in turn make good business, but he's "not so sure about making businesses."
Take the tunable laser. Some venture capitalists from the Bay area visited Coldren's labs in the mid '90s. Having heard about his novel approach to tuning a laser by using a Vernier scale approach, "They wanted to know," recalled Coldren, "what the problem was. In their world if you have a winning idea, you start a company. I told them I already had the job I really wanted."
Eventually Coldren's graduate students Greg Fish and Beck Mason decided to found the start-up. Fish, who earned his Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering from UCSB in 1999, is still with Agility. Mason, whose Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering was conferred in 1999, now works for Lucent Technologies.
Another key player is Ron Nelson, who quit his job as a vice president at Motorola to run Agility. Its 85 employees now occupy 50,000 sq. ft. of space on Pine Avenue in Goleta and some 30,000 sq. ft. in Allentown, Pa., where a highly automated packaging facility is being constructed. One of the key moves Nelson made early on in his tenure at Agility was to acquire an exclusive license for the tunable-laser patent as well as licenses for other associated patents that Coldren and others had filed before the usefulness of the device became apparent.
Coldren is Agility's chairman and chief technology officer. "Being the chief scientist is what I like to do," said Coldren, who is taking a six-month leave from his UCSB faculty position to shepherd Agility through the pre-public stages, including demonstration of a prototype tunable laser.
What is a tunable laser?
Light waves reflected between two mirrors move towards coherency. In other words, light oscillates at one wavelength or frequency which is characteristic of the optical laser's path length. Normally, generating light at more than one wavelength or frequency requires more than one laser. This can get very expensive and cumbersome for today's wavelength diffusion multiplexing (WDM) optical communications systems, which may utilize over a hundred different wavelength channels. The promise of the tunable laser is the ability to program a single device to emit at one frequency then re-program it to emit at another by electronically changing the effective optical length of its cavity. So in effect one device would do what it now takes more than 100 separate devices to do.
Back in 1988 Coldren figured out a way of making lasers tunable over a wider range by employing the concept of a Vernier scale used by machinists. The idea is to put two different gratings at each end of
the laser cavity and misalign them in a precise way by changing their index of refraction to tune differentially the two mirrors and thereby create other frequencies of light.
How did the world react to the revelation of this clever trick? "Nobody cared," said Coldren. "People in industry would say to me, 'Why do you want to make a widely tunable laser? What we want is a laser with a nice fixed single frequency.'"
Of course the rapid evolution of fiber optic communications soon changed the climate for tunable lasers because they are the key to sending more than one channel (i.e., color or frequency of light) down a fiber. Another frequency of light down a fiber is like adding another fiber. And 100 frequencies are like adding 100 fibers.
Coldren comes by his penchant for inventions naturally. He acquired the knack from his dad who ran a general farm in central Pennsylvania.
"My dad was into building things," Coldren recalls. We had an automated farm. I learned all about mechanics at an early age by building real stuff. Dad really liked equipment. We had the finest of corn pickers and bailers and combines. We had a complete hammer mill that he used to make all our own feed -- and most of our neighbors' too -- from the raw grains."
Coldren figures that he majored in electrical engineering at Bucknell in Lewisburg, Pa., because it was the one branch of engineering that he thought he didn't know firsthand from farm life. And he stayed at Bucknell an extra year to complete the course of study for two undergraduate degrees, a B.S. in engineering and a B.A. in physics. He said, "I realized I needed a more liberal education than is normally afforded by a four-year engineering program."
Coldren did his graduate work at Stanford because his first employer after college, Bell Labs, thought that's where he should go despite an acceptance with scholarship support at MIT. He worked at Bell Labs from 1968 to 1984 (including the four years at Stanford), when he joined the UCSB faculty.

A little more than two months after he was sentenced on theft charges, a 29-year-old Phillipsburg man stole more than $7,500 in jewelry from a town home, court records say.
Jared Kukor, of the first block of Sitgreaves Street, allegedly made his way into the Wilbur Avenue home May 29. He stole more than a dozen pieces of jewelry, including a 2007 Phillipsburg High School class ring, a Tiffany necklace and wedding and engagement rings, according to court records.
A Phillipsburg detective, who was investigating the burglary and reports of a suspicious person, tracked down Kukor, but Kukor allegedly took off running. When police eventually arrested Kukor, they said he was found with a flathead screwdriver used in the burglary.
The arrest came just weeks after a New Jersey Superior Court judge in March sentenced Kukor to the 157 days he had served in Warren County jail and two years probation, records indicate. That sentence stemmed from a series of 2012 burglaries in Phillipsburg in which he was accused of stealing about $5,200 worth of electronics, jewelry, dolls and toy trucks.
In 2006, Kukor was given a three-year prison term after pleading guilty to charges of theft, burglary, aggravated assault and criminal mischief.
In the most recent case, Kukor faces two counts each of burglary and theft as well as one count of obstruction, resisting arrest and possession of burglar tools.
Court records indicate he has since made his first appearance in New Jersey Superior Court in Belvidere and remains in the Warren County jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.

NEW YORK – Of course it happened this way. Here at Citi Field, few bad deeds go unpunished. So when Jose Reyes flubbed a high, two-out pop-up in the fifth inning tonight, affording the visiting Milwaukee Brewers a free out, of course starter Dillon Gee would pay. Of course.
Outfielder Lorenzo Cain followed with a two-run double that did the early damage in a 9-2 Mets loss. A horrific five-run ninth inning put the game out of reach. The Mets (77-82) have now lost three games in a row. The club will finish under .500 for the second-straight year.
Gee (2-2, 2.18) lasted six innings and gave up seven hits. His fielders did him few favors. Four Brewers scored against him. Two of those runs were unearned.
In the second, Prince Fielder walked and Corey Hart singled. Both men scored. Fielder came home on a single by Alcides Escobar – which third baseman David Wright should have handled. Hart scored on a fielder's choice from Jonathan Lucroy.
The Mets, meanwhile, could not crack Milwaukee's Chris Narveson. They scored one run off him, courtesy of Lucas Duda's RBI double in the fourth inning. The lead was halved in the eighth, when Josh Thole doubled home Wright.
In the ninth, with the offense idling, Sean Green let Milwaukee create more distance. He gave up an RBI single to Ryan Braun. Then Casey McGehee nubbed a grounder in front of catcher Josh Thole. He pulled Ike Davis off the bag with his throw. Davis' relay back home, intended to stop Rickie Weeks from scoring, sailed wide. Weeks scored. Two errors were charged on the play.
Then things began to spiral. Corey Hart knocked in a run. Jerry Manuel pulled Green and put in Manny Acosta. The next batter, Cain, hit a short grounder which Wright failed to field. Another run. Acosta walked in another run. Mercy came with a fly to left field.

Artist biography
In 1966 Finlay and his wife, Sue, moved to the hillside farm of Stonypath, south-west of Edinburgh, and began to transform the surrounding acres into a unique garden, which he named Little Sparta. He revived the traditional notion of the poet's garden, arranging ponds, trees and vegetation to provide a responsive environment for sundials, inscriptions, columns and garden temples. As the proponent of a rigorous classicism and as the defender of Little Sparta against the intrusions of local bureaucracy, he insisted on the role of the artist as a moralist who comments sharply on cultural affairs. The esteem won by Finlay's artistic stance and style is attested by many important large-scale projects undertaken throughout the world. The 'Sacred Grove', created between 1980 and 1982 at the heart of the Kröller-Müller Sculpture Park, Otterlo, is one of the most outstanding examples of Finlay's work outside Little Sparta.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. --- Abandoned by its owners, an unwanted dog sat earlier today in the parking lot of a West Brighton pharmacy.
Yet shoppers patronizing the CVS Pharmacy at 501 Forest Ave. couldn't walk by and do nothing as the lonesome animal -- a beautiful Labrador mix, less than a year old -- sweltered in the afternoon sun.
So community residents, including a former borough president, joined forces in a three-hour effort to aid the animal.
The dog's ordeal began at about 1 p.m. when two women walked into the CVS, located on the corner of Forest and Bard avenues, and inquired where the nearest animal shelter was or if the store would take their undesired pet, according to varying accounts provided to the Advance.
The store, as per its policy, declined to accept the dog and the women proceeded to tie the dog's leash to a handicapped parking sign in the lot and leave, according to a store manager.
"I went to CVS around two'o'clock to do some shopping and when I came out, there were four or five women around this dog," said former Borough President Ralph Lamberti, of West Brighton. "It was left in the sun, unattended. One woman had given the dog some bottled water and another had bought it a can of food."
Over the course of three hours, Lamberti said he and some others reached out to various city agencies seeking assistance.
"Virtually everybody that pulled into the lot asked what happened and many stayed to help," said Leon Selman, who had been shopping at CVS with his wife, Arlene. The couple also lives nearby and decided to lend a hand upon hearing the story of the dog's unfortunate situation. "I was really disappointed though at how many agencies weren't available or didn't answer."
Eventually, Selman continued, two officers in a patrol car from the North Shore's 120th Precinct responded and offered to secure a crate to transport the animal to a shelter.
"They couldn't have been more helpful," said Lamberti, who identified the cops as Police Officers DiFalco and Macanda.
As luck would have it, an unidentified man assisting in the effort had the number for Leslie Wallace -- a representative from Pet Lovers United Together as One (P.L.U.T.O.) Rescue of Richmond County -- and she responded to retrieve the animal.
"She's a wonderful person," said Lisa Rooney, president of P.L.U.T.O. "Thank God she was available."
Ms. Wallace, of Great Kills, brought the dog to the Staten Island Veterinary Group in Travis where staff examined and neutered the animal and named him Bart.
"He's not aggressive at all, just a little nervous," said Manny Gonzalez, a technician at the veterinarian's office.
If interested in adopting Bart, please call Ms. Rooney at 718-227-0553.
"It's just a good news story," said Lamberti. "Here was a neighborhood in West Brighton where people just gathered around and united to help this beautiful looking dog."

We compare the geometric and physical-optics performance of two configurations of offset dual-reflector antennas that obey the Mizuguchi–Dragone condition. The traditional Gregorian configuration is compared with the larger crossed configuration. These configurations are candidates for experiments that measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background. Particular attention is given to wide-field performance and polarization fidelity. Both a ray tracer and a physical optics simulation package are used to conclude that the crossed configuration has a larger diffraction-limited field of view, but within this limit both configurations have roughly the same instrumental polarization and both show excellent cross-polarization levels, with the crossed configuration showing better performance.

Bettman "pleased with the process" in CBA talks; Lamoriello "encouraged"
NHL owners and players resumed Collective Bargaining Agreement negotiations around 2:25 p.m. this afternoon at a Manhattan hotel after the completion of the league's Board of Governors meeting earlier today.
The cautious optimism sparked by nearly eight hours of meetings on Tuesday was followed by an exchange of proposals today as the sides put in writing some of the concepts they discussed. The players made the first proposal. After taking a break to meet internally and review what the players offered, the owners countered with their own proposal. The sides then broke for dinner while the players discussed what the owners presented to them.
They plan to resume talking later this evening. How the players respond to the owners' proposal will be the key to how/if things move forward.
Both sides remain tight-lipped about the specifics of the proceedings.
Reports indicated the owners are now looking for a 10-year collective bargaining agreement – they previously had not made a proposal for more than seven seasons (including option years). Not only would that provide a decade of labor peace, which the fans would welcome, but it would also allow the league to spread out the make-whole provision it proposed to pay off the players' existing contracts with some deferred payments.
It was unclear whether the players wanted to go that many years on the next CBA, though. Their longest previous proposal was six years, including an option year.
In a brief statement to the media after the Board of Governors meeting (and before negotiations resumed), NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said the governors' meeting lasted two hours and "was basically an update."
"We are pleased with the process that is ongoing and out of respect for that process I don't have anything else to say," Bettman said.
After making progress during approximately eight hours of meetings Tuesday without Bettman and NHL Players' Association executive director Donald Fehr in the room, that is the set-up again today -- with six owners and a group of players in the room accompanied by NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly and union special counsel Steve Fehr. The players' group has grown from 18 to 19 today with Chris Campoli and Daniel Winnik joining the proceedings and Andy McDonald leaving.
A source called the next 48 hours "critical" as far as this round of negotiations leading to a deal, but didn't think the season would be lost if talks broke down again without an agreement being reached.
The players met internally today while waiting for the owners to return from the Board of Governors meeting, which took place a couple of blocks away at the law offices of Proskauer Rose. The sides had originally planned to meet before the Board of Governors' 11 a.m. meeting, but decided this morning it would be better to wait until the afternoon than rush through things.
The Devils were represented at the governors' meeting by team president and general manager Lou Lamoriello and managing partner Jeff Vanderbeek. Lamoriello said he was "encouraged" by the recent negotiations.
"I've always been hopeful there's going to be a season until there isn't, but right now, we just have to leave it in the hands of the people that are talking," Lamoriello said. "They're talking and that's the most important thing."
"We feel good about the information we got," Columbus Blue Jackets president of hockey operations John Davidson said.
The governors discussed the possible length of the schedule if a deal with the players is made soon. A source said the number would be between 54 and 60 -- 56 if they start around Christmas, 54 if they start around Jan. 1.

Jefferson BOE looks to replace bus garage
CHARLES TOWN – Although school starts in a little more than two weeks, Jefferson County Board of Education members are already looking ahead to next fall because they want to make sure a replacement bus garage will be ready.
That was part of the discussion at Monday night's meeting, following a presentation about the approximately $3 million project – including a breakdown of projected costs and a schedule for completing site work, as well as building renovation's necessary to convert it to a bus garage.
Plans call for utilizing one of two buildings on a site in the Bardane Industrial Park, said assistant superintendent Ralph Dinges, adding that a 60,000-square-foot building will not currently be used. He said the building that will become the bus garage has 50,000 square feet of space, and will also contain six offices for the district's technology department, as well as five conference/classrooms.
As part of the presentation, architect Dave Lipp said the renovated building will have nine bus service bays and two wash bays, and a fueling facility will also be located on the site. There will be plenty of parking spaces, he said, including 90 for visitors, 112 for drivers and 118 for buses.
Site work is expected to cost about $1 million, facility renovation will be $975,000 and the fueling facility pricetag is set at $530,000, bringing that subtotal to about $2.5 million, Lipp said. Additional costs include fees, permits and testing ($240,000) and contingency fee (279,000), he said.
President Scott Sudduth questioned whether it would be cheaper to do sitework for the entire property, including both buildings, rather than having to start from scratch again once a decision is made about how to use it.
Board member Gary Kable countered, saying that the current emphasis should be on completing the bus garage – especially since the current facility is "old, undersized and just plain worn out," he said, adding that it would be better to look at uses for the other building in the future.
Sudduth acknowledged Kable's concern, but also maintained it would be possible to do both.
"I agree getting the bus garage completed is our first priority. But from the planning side, it is possible to look at the entire site without slowing down the bus garage," Sudduth said. Lipp agreed that could be done, but hadn't been factored into the price for ongoing work on this project.
He also expressed hope that the community will have access to the completed facility.
"I hope we can look at ways to accommodate the community's use of this building after hours, in a way that keeps the facility secure. After all, we don't want people tripping over tools in bays," Sudduth said.
Board member Kathy Skinner said she would like to receive regular reports about the projects' progress from the clerk of the works, who was hired to oversee it. She also questioned if the dirt and odors from the bus garage will negatively impact the other district offices and classrooms in the building, as well as whether it would be better to also use some of the second building.
Lipp said that isn't possible because it has lower eaves and wouldn't work for a bus garage.
Time is important, said vice president Mark Osbourn, who questioned Lipp about a completion date.
"And this definitely will be ready for next school year? I don't mean the one this fall, but next year. We only have a short window for this transition to take place. We have to hit the ground running in April and May to make sure we're ready for June for these guys to make that transition," he said.

Bishop Ahern died Saturday at the Mary Manning Walsh Home in Manhattan at the age of 92 -- the 41st anniversary of his ordination.
A former episcopal vicar of Staten Island who also served as pastor of Blessed Sacrament R.C. Church in West Brighton, Bishop Ahern grew up in a seven-room walkup on 66th Street in Manhattan. He was first inspired to enter the priesthood at St. Agnes High School, when he saw a priest celebrate mass.
"Seeing the priest offer mass lit in my heart the desire to be a priest myself," Bishop Ahern told the Advance in 1994. "Because the Eucharist, after all, is the principal work of a priest."
After attending Manhattan College, Cathedral College and St. Joseph's Seminary, Bishop Ahern was ordained as a priest in 1945. He served as an associate pastor of St. Helena's Church in the Bronx and at St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Bishop Ahern was also a member of the Apostolate Mission Band for eight years, taught at St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers, N.Y., for three years and served for nine years as secretary to the late Cardinal Francis Spellman. He also served as a private chamberlain to Pope John XXIII, and was described by fellow clergy as a friend and confidant of Cardinals Terence Cooke, John Joseph O'Connor, and Edward Egan.
"He was so connected to the history of the diocese," said Joseph Zwilling, director of communication for the Archdiocese of New York. "When you look at the church of New York during the second part of the 20th century, Bishop Ahern was a very important character.
In 1970, Bishop Ahern was named a bishop while pastor at Our Lady of Angels R.C. Church in the Bronx, and from that time, served as the cardinal's vicar in the Bronx. Bishop Ahern later became pastor of Blessed Sacrament Church in 1980, as well as co-episcopal vicar of Staten Island serving alongside Monsignor Paul M. Andrews, pastor of St. Rita's R.C. Church, Meiers Corners.
On Staten Island, Bishop Ahern's sense of humor, commitment to the Catholic Church and serving those in need made an indelible mark.
"I admired him a great deal because he was a very faithful man and a happy man," said Monsignor Peter G. Finn, a pastor who succeeded the bishop as pastor of Blessed Sacrament R.C. Church and co-episcopal vicar of Staten Island who described Bishop Ahern as "the clergy equivalent of Governor Al Smith, the happy warrior." Added Monsignor Finn: "He was rarely without a smile on his face, and that smile emanated from his heart. It was genuine and real."
In 1986, Bishop Ahern founded The Seton Foundation for Learning, based out of Immaculate Conception R.C. Church, Stapleton. The non-profit organization was Staten Island's first Catholic special education program. Bishop Patrick Ahern High School, an extension of the Seton school, opened in 2000 at Moore Catholic High School.
"He was a very compassionate person, and he valued people with disability, which was extremely important to the parents," said Gail Checkett, a parishioner of Blessed Sacrament who worked with the bishop on establishing the Seton Foundation on behalf of her daughter, Lynn, who has down syndrome. "He treated them with the utmost respect, and their parents are eternally grateful for all that he did for our children." While on the Island, Bishop Ahern also founded Project Hospitality's Carpenter Shelter in Stapleton to help the Island's homeless.
"Bishop Ahern's compassion for the homeless and hungry and his commitment to their care, gave birth to an interfaith network of churches who have followed in his footsteps and have opened wide their door to welcome in the homeless poor," said Project Hospitality executive director Reverend Terry Troia. "His faith in action for the poor set the bar for how religious leaders should and can embrace their brother and sister poor."
In addition, he was a member of the Archdiocesan Liturgical Commission, the Priest's Personnel Board and the Archbishop's Board of Consultors.
"He was a fellow professor of mine in the seminary," said Monsignor James Dorney, co-episcopal vicar of Staten Island. "I'll always be grateful to him for his priesthood and his episcopacy."
In 1990, Bishop Ahern left Staten Island and was appointed vicar for development for the Archdiocese. He retired from the position in 1994, at the age of 75. After half a century dedicated to the priesthood, he hoped to pursue his lifelong interest in the late 19th-century French nun, St. Therese of Lisieux, who died of tuberculosis at age 24. According to many close to the Bishop, St. Therese was an inspiration for much of the Bishop's religious life.
"In 1939 when I entered the seminary, I read her autobiography, and it seemed to me to hold the answers to all my questions," he said upon retirement.
One of Bishop Ahern's first "missions" after his official retirement was to travel to Lisieux in France for a few months to improve his French language skills to help him translate works from French authors on St. Therese. He then began traveling and speaking on St. Therese, while also reworking a book he already has drafted about her. The book is not a biography, he said, but more an explanation of St. Therese's relationship with a young French seminarian named Maurice Belliere, with whom she exchanged 22 letters and developed a deep spiritual relationship.
Another longtime interest of Bishop Ahern was singing, and many described his abilities as extraordinary. Returning from a peace mission to Northern Ireland, he reportedly broke into song with Irish Tenor Frank Patterson. He also had the opportunity to sing for actor Bob Hope in Vietnam. The two were waiting with Cardinal Spellman for a delayed flight out of a Saigon airport one hot morning in 1966.
Bishop Ahern, well-known among New Yorkers for his beautiful singing voice, wowed Hope with an off-the-cuff rendition of "Can I Forget You?" The comedian, who was visiting U.S. troops in Vietnam, described the bishop as having a "fine Irish" baritone.
Friends said the bishop would be remembered for bringing humor and compassion to all situations of faith and otherwise.
"He just had a very personal impact on everyone he met," said Monsignor Finn. "He was welcoming, generous, and open person."
A funeral mass is tentatively scheduled for 11 a.m. Thursday at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan, to be celebrated by Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan. Other funeral arrangements are pending.

It was a thrilling final round at the Zurich Chess Challenge, with both games ending in victories for the white pieces.
Vladimir Kramnik reverted to a more traditional opening choice, playing the Berlin with black against Vishy Anand. In response, the champion avoided the sterile well-trodden paths of the main line but was still struggling to demonstrate any advantage.
In a similar fashion to his remarkable round 3 game, Kramnik once again established a knight outpost deep in enemy territory - this time at e2, supported by a passed pawn at d3! However, this time the ambitious stallion was undone by an uncharacteristic blunder from Kramnik with 21...Qb8?? Suddenly, Vishy Anand had a clear route to an advantage, and he didn't need to be asked twice.
After only 27 moves, Vladimir Kramnik resigned!
In the other final round game Fabiano Caruana had the white pieces against Boris Gelfand. The Italian-American was already guaranteed first place thanks to Kramnik's quick loss, but he was still eager to earn a full point from his Israeli opponent.
Caruana gained a material advantage in the shape of Gelfand's juicy d5 pawn, but positional compensation ensured that the game remained finely balanced. However, as Gelfand's clock ran low, a slip with 30...Qd6? allowed an alert Caruana to play 31.Re8+! and gain a clear endgame advantage. Gelfand mounted a rearguard action to save the game, but a final mistake with 55...h4?? sealed his doom.
Tournament winner, 20 year-old Fabiano Caruana
The final standings
Photo from the official website. Games via TWIC.
Great job Caruana
I agree with you, Gelfand played the endgame wrong. All pawns were on the king side and if played correctly it should have been a draw. Houdini's evaluation after move 40 is 0.86, not enough to force a win by white. His best approach was to force exchanging down to a rook endgame.
Naka can easily beat Caruna..Caruna cant decide if he is Italian or American ;-)
congratulations to Caruana,a gifted player
Great tournament for Fabio...winning both blitz and classical...Does show he belong in top 10 at the moment when he is in good shape...Tata probably his emotional state was not that great!
Great job by Caruana, he do not fear attacking and will be next 2800s.
As I wrote earlier: they played under pressure from the coming candidates' matches. The end result is the exact invers of this pressure: 1. Fabiano - no pressure at all, 2. Anand - has to defend title in half year, 3-4 Kramnik & Gelfand: have to spare all energy, ideas, novelties for the March tournament in London.
Gelfand's endgame play (after move 40) seemed all too eager with those aggressive pawn pushes. One has to wonder if a more placid and controlled play by black would not have saved the game; after all, 4 vs. 3 pawns on the same side of the board is more often a drawn endgame than a win...
The Night of the Iguana!
Caruana has the counter attaching style of Fisher, and dares to attack from back-foot. He is our next world champion.
young players are doing well recently. This is an evidence to that.
This was my prognosis ! Youngest and strongest !
Well done, Caruana! Hope you are the future WC.
what about the reykjavik? have any update?
@FilipinoChess Yes he did, indirectly but it was very obvious who he was refering to at the time. He's done alot of things like that, such as blaming "weak" players on the US National team for their losses in the chess olympics,even though its a team effort.
@aknaim, did naka really said that about caruana? oh thats low now i know where some of the neg comments on naka is coming from.
@LetsReason, my point was that I want to know Nakamura's next excuse
Carlsen time! After these unspectacular games
Congratulations to Caruana, wonder if Naka still thinks Carauana plays against weaklings to gain points.
Congrats to Caruana! That was NOT an easy endgame to win!

Empty Netter Assists - 11-23-10
-Dave Molinari's recap from last night's game. "It was nice. One of those things where they got a few penalties, and we made them pay." - Sidney Crosby (above, chasing Florida's Marty Reasoner) on the Penguins' power play which went 2 for 3.

-The Associated Press' recap. "I was totally relaxed, and the guys played good for me." - Marc-Andre Fleury.
-Mike Lange's goal calls.
-Sidney Crosby's goal deserves a second look:
-Chris Conner > Tomas Vokoun:
-Florida's Cory Stillman and Ben Lovejoy battling for position:
-Vokoun scrambling in his crease:
-Yesterday was the fifth anniversary of the first game between Crosby and Washington's Alex Ovechkin. We fully expect the NHL to create and sell a breakfast cereal or a brand of snow tires to commemorate the occasion.
-He might not be playing a whole bunch as of late, but Mike Comrie still has a pretty good life.
-Crosby is good people.
-Happy 28th birthday to former Penguins forward Colby Armstrong. A first-round pick in 2001, "Army" spent parts of three seasons with the Penguins. As a rookie in 2005-06, Armstrong appeared in 47 games, scored a career high 40 points and led the team with a plus-15. In 2006-07, Armstrong played in 80 games and registered 34 points. He saw action in all five of the team's postseason games that spring and scored one goal. After 54 games and 24 points in 2007-08, Armstrong was involved in one of the biggest trades in franchise history. Armstrong was dealt to the Thrashers along with Erik Christensen, prospect Angelo Esposito and a draft pick in exchange for Pascal Dupuis and Marian Hossa. In 181 regular season games with the Penguins, Armstrong scored 98 points, 79th-most in franchise history. He is currently a member of the Maple Leafs.

-Happy 39th birthday to former Penguins forward Dan Kesa. A free agent signing in the 1998 offseason, Kesa's Penguins career amounted to 67 games and 10 points in 1998-99. Kesa appeared in all 13 of the team's postseason games that spring and scored one goal. In the 1999 offseason, he joined the Lightning as a free agent.
-Happy 69th birthday to former Penguins forward Simon Nolet. Acquired midway through 1975-76 along with Ed Gilbert and a draft pick in a deal which sent Steve Durbano, Chuck Arnason and a draft pick to the Kansas City Scouts, Nolet's Penguins career amounted to 39 games and 17 points that season. He appeared in three postseason games that spring but failed to record a point. In the 1976 offseason, the NHL transferred him back to the former Scouts franchise - known at this time as the Colorado Rockies - along with Michel Plasse and Colin Campbell as compensation for the Penguins signing Denis Herron. Nolet currently works as a scout with the Flyers.

The San Antonio Spurs handed the Portland Trail Blazers a 24-point humbling in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals matchup between the teams Tuesday.
The Spurs imposed their will early and often in climbing out to a quick double digit lead and kept the pedal to the floor in the 116-92 win over the Blazers. Tony Parker got things started with 13 first-quarter points, scoring at will and leading the way with 33 points on 13 of 24 from the floor.
But the playoff veteran knows that one game does not make a series.
"It's just one game," Parker said. "We know Game 2 is going to be hard, we know they're going to come out with a lot of energy and they're going to try to give everything they got. We're going to have to match that."

It's a bacteria health officials in Marion County are noticing more often this year, and one out of ten children hit with the germ goes to the hospital. Nicole Pence explored shigella.
It's a highly contagious bacteria, and the majority of those affected are preschool aged children. Allen County's Health Department hasn't seen problems like other areas in the state, but that doesn't mean parents should brush it off.
Shigella is a germ that causes diarrhea. Other symptoms with this infection are: cramping, high fever, bloody stools, and vomiting. It is fecal – oral, so touching something contaminated by stool from a sick person can infect anyone. That means it's imperative that your child knows how to wash their hands well.
Standard wash time means the whole happy birthday song or reciting of the a-b-c's. Shigella can live for four days outside the body. That's why day cares and schools need to use bleach to clean toys and table surfaces.
Mindy Waldron/Allen County Health Dept.: "Shigella is a bacterial disease that is generally transferred from person to person by the fecal-oral route. Meaning somebody doesn't wash their hands well after they use the restroom and then they either touch food or another person or another little ones toy and then it makes them ill."
The tricky part of Shigella is even if you think your child is over it, as far as symptoms, they can still spread it for thirty-days. An antibiotic will take care of it, but again prevent it by good hand washing, with lots of soap, and warm water. Take the child to the doctor if symptoms continue.
