Fox's Napolitano Ignores Facts On Voluntary Cybersecurity Measures
Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano baselessly speculated that the government will invade personal privacy as a result of President Obama's executive order on cybersecurity, ignoring the fact that the order merely provides optional help for companies running critical infrastructure to combat cyber threats.
President Obama announced [1] Tuesday during the State of the Union address that he had signed an executive order [2] to improve cybersecurity for critical infrastructure that impacts national security, the national economy, and public health and safety."
On Fox & Friends, Napolitano said the order "goes too far," making the accusation that the order will allow the government to read personal emails and eventually punish and restrict individuals for what they say on the internet, claiming that "your freedom of expression will shrink."
But as The New York Times reported [3], the order has nothing to do with the Internet use of individuals, and instead introduces an entirely voluntary program to help specific companies combat cyber threats:
The order will allow companies that oversee infrastructure like dams, electrical grids and financial institutions to join an experimental program that has provided government contractors with real-time reports about cyberthreats.
It will also put together recommendations that companies should follow to prevent attacks, and it will more clearly define the responsibilities for different parts of the government that play a role in cybersecurity.
The Times further noted that according to industry experts, the most important measures needed to protect against cyberattacks still require congressional approval. Senate Republicans twice rejected [4] cybersecurity legislation last year.
And the American Civil Liberties Union has approved of the privacy measures included in the executive order. The Hill's technology blog reported [5]:
The executive order also makes clear that agencies are required to implement privacy and civil liberties protections into their cyber activities, according to existing privacy principles and frameworks. Agencies are also required review the privacy and civil liberties impact of their work and publicly release those assessments.
Those privacy-focused measures won approval from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
"The president's executive order rightly focuses on cybersecurity solutions that don't negatively impact civil liberties," Michelle Richardson, a legislative counsel for the ACLU, in a statement. "For example, greasing the wheels of information sharing from the government to the private sector is a privacy-neutral way to distribute critical cyber information."

This product has a great deal of benefits that I have experience 1st and the Best is it's boost in immunity, since being on this supplement I have not been sick in >6 months I use to get sick at least 4x a year. 2nd This is an excellent and strong antioxidant - I've noticed a decrease in aches and pains, increased exercise tolerance, fast healing of wounds (cuts, lacerations, abrasions) and better gastrointestinal function. 3rd it improves the quality of your skin and I have had less acne. It has been known to help with cancer - and that would make since mainly because it increases your body's immune system. It does this be helping your body better identify cells that are healthy and those that are sick (infected with virus, damaged by bacteria, or mutated into malignant phase), this allows your bodies natural defense to better kill, target, and manage those cells much more EFFICIENTLY. Therefore, your body would be better in fighting cancerous cells as well. Where as most chemotherapy works by be toxic to all cells that divide naturally, it more toxic to cancerous cells because their more metabolically active and divide at a high rate. Fucoidan could work by a completely different mechanism than chemo and should add at least an additive effect if not a synergistic effect to cancer treatments.

I have found this to be a great product with a reasonable price. I started taking this product when I read it could help with BPH and perhaps even prevent prostate cancer through it's killing of pre-cancerous and cancerous tissue. When I started taking this product my PSA was 6.8 and increasing monthly. It took a couple of months to stabilize my PSA and in about six months my PSA started dropping. It is now under 4.0. and I am doing great. Great product!

I have used the product Fucoidan for four weeks.I have been using the product with my son that suffers from Type 1 diabetes. I guess it is too soon to notice huge benefits,but we have noticed increased energy levels during the day. But most of all we have noted my son's glucose levels have been within the recommended range. Also my son came down with a Strep A infection but in seven days he is showing quick recovery from his infection. All I can comment is, go Fucoidan, and I know that our medical doctor in Australia told us about the product so we thank him and God bless him for helping our son in his recovery.

I am using this product to treat thyroid nodule I developed due to exposure to radiation in my teens years. I have read all kind of data on internet and found out that brown algae is the best holistic treatment for any thyroid related issues. I have been using it for the last three month. I see the progress in my thyroid healing; however, I have to take double doze to feel the difference. I assume it is not concentrated enough to use as suggested on the label; however, this is the only affordable brand I could find on the market, so I will stay with it untill my symptoms go away.

The Brownfields Redevelopment Program empowers communities, local governments and other stakeholders in economic development to work together to prevent, assess, clean up and reuse brownfields. A brownfield site is property which may be complicated by actual or perceived environmental contamination during the expansion, redevelopment or reuse of the property. The reuse of property is an important component of sound land use policy. Productive reuse of urban land helps prevent the premature development of farmland, open space and natural areas, and reduces the public cost for installing new water, sewer and highway infrastructure. The redevelopment of brownfield sites continues to gain momentum in Florida and across the nation...more

Lou Reed back home after medical emergency
Listen to Lou Reed on iHeartRadio
(TMZ) - Lou Reed's fresh liver landed him in the ER Sunday, but TMZ reports he's back home and doing fine.
The 71-year-old rock legend was rushed to the hospital after he became sick to his stomach and repeatedly threw up, TMZ reports.
EMTs were called and declared a medical emergency, because Reed had a liver transplant 2 months ago and they feared rejection.
According to TMZ, turns out it was only a case of dehydration. Lou is out of the hospital ... fit and fine.

When Helen Howard drops into Melbourne's Lady Bower café for a coffee, she'll sometimes ask for a free bag of coffee beans to take home. No, she's not being cheeky – Lady Bower co-owner Vanessa Nitsos is happy to oblige. It's an informal trade for the bunches of herbs Howard drops off to the cafe regularly.
A coffee, breakfast, maybe even a three-course dinner, are some of the trades regularly made between local gardeners and savvy café owners with both a desire to source local products and an eye on the bottom-line.
After all, what could be better than sourcing fruit from a garden just down the road? Usually harvested the day it's eaten, trading excess fruit, herbs, vegetables and flowers for a meal, or coffee or a jar of jam, is a deal that seems to work beautifully for both the local gardeners and the restaurants.
James Hird, co-owner of Buzo and Wine Library in the Sydney suburb of Woollahra, keeps an eye on what's growing in his local neighbourhood. If he knows it's a good year for lush rosemary, plump backyard lemons or juicy mulberries, he'll put out the word to his customers that he'd love to have any excess from their gardens. As well as sourcing locally, he also has his own rooftop garden and a beehive.
Hird says his garden, plus local backyard produce, can only ever supplement his stockroom needs. But he says the effort to source produce which doesn't require anyone to get into a car is worth it. "It's a huge untapped resource. We go through about six market bunches of rosemary a day. To take out the cost of this alone has an effect on the bottom-line."
There's a benefit for the growers too. Hird always offers something in return, but says there are no hard-and-fast rules to the exchange. "I might offer dinner for the harvest from a whole mulberry tree – that's three months worth of jam for us – or it might be an offer of coffee or breakfast. It's pretty fluid."
I might offer dinner for the harvest from a whole mulberry tree – that's three months worth of jam for us – or it might be an offer of coffee or breakfast. It's pretty fluid.
In Melbourne, Nitsos alerted locals to her interest in local produce before the café even opened, and by the time it was ready for business in February 2012, she already had a couple of nearby gardening enthusiasts willing to share.
When Helen Howard started dropping in bunches of herbs from her garden, Nitsos would always offer a cup of coffee in return. "When I started bringing in stuff, Vanessa would ask me to stay and have a coffee, but as I was usually on my way to work, I couldn't stop. So I asked them if I could have a 250g bag of coffee every couple of weeks in return. It's a handy arrangement. I (wouldn't) do it for money, but it's good to do a trade."
Kate van der Drift donates figs and lemons from her garden to Lady Bower and loves to see "Marchant Avenue figs" on descriptions of the café's jam. "It's just giving for the pleasure of giving. Plus, I like seeing the things that Lady Bower does with my ingredients – it's often something I would never have thought of."
Nitsos says that in the hospitality game, every little bit helps. "The local produce helps us to put things on the menu we couldn't usually afford, such as micro-herbs. And it reinforces our commitment to seasonality. Although, a customer did come in once and asks us why every cake we had was made with orange."
Backyard gardeners are a proud bunch. When Steve Bishop drops in bags of rocket to Cornersmith in the Sydney suburb of Marrickville, he's simply happy to know the excess won't go to waste, and that Cornersmith customers will be eating his home-grown produce.
Cornersmith co-owner Alex Elliott-Howery says she was amazed by the response to one of her requests for produce. "It started with chokos. I put a call out on social media and a note in the café and the chokos came rolling through the door. We were inundated."
Elliott-Howery says the large family homes and gardens in the suburb have an abundance of produce and many newer families in the area don't know what to do with them. "There's a craving to be part of a community and this is a great way to do it. I always offer a coffee, a jar of pickles or lunch in return, but 80 per cent don't want anything. People are so generous. Twice I've cried when people have come in unexpectedly and given us something."
Cafes are only now catching on to a trend that has been quietly flourishing in Australian suburbs for decades. Canberra nurse and blogger Bec Pollock swaps fruit and vegetables with other members of the Urban Homesteading Club. At its monthly meetings a swap table is filled with produce, homemade preserves, seeds and seedlings to share.
"We also trade details of potential urban foraging sites, including blackberries, quince and apple trees, and have been wanting to develop a local Food Foraging Map," she says. "There are people in our group who fish and collect edible weeds, and plenty of people who are keen to glean, or scrump too. I just bought the Weed Foraging Handbook, and was amazed at how many of the (many) weeds in our backyard are actually edible."
Crop swaps and urban harvest groups have a long history in most Australian cities, but renewed interest in the concept has come from a growing understanding of the impact of food miles and a desire to eat locally and seasonally. Many groups have links to Transition Towns, an Irish movement encouraging greater energy and food self-sufficiency, that's now worldwide.
At the monthly Altona fruit and vegie swap in Melbourne's west, locals are encouraged to come along even if they don't have any homegrown produce. Mara Chambers is a regular and says you don't even have to have a garden; there are other things you can bring along besides fresh produce.
"It could be something you've baked or your favourite seasonal recipes," she says. "There's also lawn clippings and shredded paper which are great for composting as well as edible seeds you've saved or edible seedlings and cuttings."
The appeal of fresh produce is widespread. At The Three Blue Ducks in Bronte, Sydney, chef and gardener Grant LaBrooy says the café's kitchen garden has now become a magnet for locals, who come to admire the chooks and see what's growing. The café hosted a dinner using community backyard produce as part of the international Grow It Local movement on April 1 and LaBrooy hopes to do more events in 2013.
And the sharing works both ways. Some regular customers get more than they bargain for when they order a coffee – a gift of warm, freshly laid eggs to take home.

Beavers snubbed in Polls... again.
PULLMAN, Wash. – Sean Mannion passed for a school-record 493 yards, Brandin Cooks scored three touchdowns and Oregon State scored 28 points in the fourth quarter for a 52-24 win over Washington State Saturday night at Martin Stadium.
Mannion surpassed the previous record holder, Derek Anderson, by 8 yards and broke the record with a 30-yard touchdown pass to Cooks in the fourth quarter. It was the 18th all-time between the two, making them the most prolific tandem in school history.
Mannion, who completed 34-of-51 passes and threw for four touchdowns, also found Cooks in the end zone on an 8-yard strike less than four minutes before the 30-yard score, which came with just under seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

Fields of Study:
Igneous geochemistry
Mantle chemical structure and evolution
Uranium series isotopes Igneous geochemistry
Volcanology and volcanic hazards
Research Interests:
I am interested in magmatic processes (including melt generation and transport), mantle-crust interactions and dynamics, the generation of new crust by igneous emplacement, and the long-term chemical evolution of the silicate Earth. To examine these problems, I use a variety of tools, including major element chemistry, trace element chemistry, and variations in long- and short-lived radiogenic isotopes. With these tools I aim to study the means by which melts form in the planet's interior, how those melts are transported, and why they vary from place to place on the Earth's surface. Much of my work has focused on the chemistry and isotopes of volcanic materials erupted at slow-spreading mid-ocean ridges, where new crust is being formed. The processes by which lavas reach the mid-ocean ridges are complex, requiring imperfect mixing of magmas from different depths and a combination of equilibrium and disequilibrium processes during magma transport. My research interests further include the initiation of divergent boundaries at continental rift zones, the relationships between hotspot volcanism and magmatic activity at divergent boundaries, and the morphology and nature of volcanism and crustal production in these very dynamic rifting and ridge environments.

Being Precise on Unity
Those who have the great fortune, or have made the great sacrifice, of befriending me on Facebook and/or Google+ have already been alerted to this, um, development.
So let the word go forth that I am using Precise Pangolin — Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, for those of you keeping score at home (though I don't know why you would) — complete with Unity until Saturday. The reason I am giving it a few days, rather than just one as I did in an earlier blog post extends from a conversation I had with Scott Dowdle on #ubuntu-montana, where he made the poignant observation that it would take more than one day for me to make a fair assessment.
Good point, Scott (and this point, it should be noted, comes from a Fedora guy, for all intents and purposes. Hope that doesn't blow your cover, Scott!). After a considerable amount of pixels spilled on the miraculous game-changing improvements to Unity and Head-Up (something?) Display that a flock of bloggers and some in the tech press are parroting after being spoon-fed from Canonisoft's PR department, I am giving it another look to see if I had missed something somewhere along the line.
To be frank — and Frank doesn't mind — after about eight hours of use yesterday, I'm not seeing anything I didn't see last time I took Unity for a spin, except for one thing: The welcome relief afterward to get back to another laptop running CrunchBang was beyond description.
Earth-shattering, game-changing improvements — they're here somewhere, right? I don't see any, at least not yet. In fact, what I do see is what I saw when I used it originally: the one-size-fits-all desktop environment which arguably doesn't fit quite right on any of them, coupled with a lack of improved utility that I didn't already have using other desktop environments or FOSS programs. To say nothing of a desktop environment that insults my intelligence by bending over backwards to do things for me that I have been doing easily on my own since — oh, I don't know — birth.
What am I missing, Ubunteros?
See you again Saturday.

Not an Ubuntero, but I'd say you're missing a Screenshot of this "HUD" thingie and/or Unity thingie, to give us non-Unitiers a taste of just how awful that thing looks? 😛
May 24, 2012 at 10:56 am
Being an "Ubuntero" myself (and a Mint-er, and a SUSE-er), I can say without reservation that the first thing I dump when I do an Ubuntu install is the Unity desktop. I used to be a Gnome devotee but since reading a post about Lubuntu, I now prefer the LXDE window manager.
May 24, 2012 at 11:03 am
Some interesting comments at the bottom.
May 24, 2012 at 1:36 pm
Had a similar thing when I installed Ubuntu on my (non-techie) girlfriend's laptop. Unity lasted less than a day and then she asked me to 'make her machine like mine', i.e. Gnome shell. After six months of Gnome/Ubuntu I switched her to Debian testing.
Annoying thing (to me) is Unity is built on top of Gnome 3, not sure what they contribute back to Gnome (be lovely to be surprised on that one).
May 31, 2012 at 12:30 pm
this post got me thinking… i first disliked gnome shell when i used it briefly, and then i liked it when i tested it for a while longer and actually learned what i can do with it. liked it very much in fact. so who's to say i wouldn't feel the same about "unity" if i gave it more than half an hour?
but i gotta say for a distro that's all about makeup and hairstyle, ubuntu has some ugly, fat default fonts, and horrible icons!

Thank you for supporting gray wolves
Wolves belong to the order Carnivora and the family Canidae, which includes 36 species in 16 genera. Canids originated in North America during the Eocene period, 54 to 38 million years ago. They evolved for fast pursuit of prey in open grasslands. In this family, species range in size from the fennec fox to its largest member, the gray wolf.Wolves once roamed almost the entire world north of the equator. This is no longer the case. In North America, gray wolves, also called timber wolves, have been hunted near to extinction in the United States with the exception of Alaska and small populations in Minnesota and Wisconsin. There is still a healthy population in Canada, but only unconfirmed remnant populations are thought to exist today in Mexico.
In the past, gray wolves were at home everywhere except in tropical regions and in deserts. They flourished in forests, and on prairies, grasslands and tundra. They continue to live in these areas, but in far less numbers.
In March 1998, 11 Mexican gray wolves were released in eastern Arizona. The range of these wolves once extended from southwest United States to central Mexico. Gray wolves are currently reintroducing themselves naturally in the northern Rocky Mountains and North Cascades. Human efforts over the last few years to reintroduce wolves into the Rocky Mountains have also been successful.
Head and body: 40-64 inches (102-163 cm)Tail: 14-22 inches (36-56 cm).
Adult male: 85-115 pounds (39-52 kg) and can reach 130 pounds (59 kg); adult females are about 50-100 pounds (23-45 kg) lighter and rarely weigh more than 110 pounds (50 kg).
Wolves live for 10-15 years in the wild, but average 25 years at zoos.
In the wild: Wolves are carnivores. In Alaska, moose, deer or caribou are their primary food, with Dall sheep being important in some areas. During the summer, they include voles, lemmings, ground squirrels, snowshoe hares, beavers and occasionally birds and fish in their diet.
At the zoo: Whole chickens and rabbits, beef, knuckle bones and a few trout
Wolves breed in February and March, and normally mate for life. Litters averaging about five pups are born in May or early June, in a den excavated as much as 10 feet (3 m) into well-drained soil. Adult wolves center their activities around dens while traveling as much as 20 miles (32 km) away in search of food, which is regularly brought back to the den. Wolf pups are weaned gradually during midsummer. In mid or late summer, pups are usually moved some distance away from the den; by early winter they can travel and hunt with adult pack members.
Wolves are highly social animals, usually living in packs that include parents, pups born that year, some yearlings from the year before and often other adults. Social order is characterized by a dominance hierarchy with a separate ranking order among males and females.
Although pack size usually ranges from six to 12 animals, packs of as many as 20 or 30 wolves sometimes occur. In most areas, wolf packs tend to remain within a home range. In Alaska, the home range may include some 200 to 600 square miles (520-1560 km2) of habitat.
Wolves keep in touch by howling. This type of communication among wolves has several meanings. It serves as a warning to other packs to stay away from their hunting ground. A howl is used to call the pack together after a hunt is over. Sometimes wolves howl just for the pleasure of it, and to reinforce ties between members of the pack.
The zoo's gray wolves can be viewed from a number of locations at the zoo's award-winning Northern Trail. Woodland Park Zoo has exhibited wolves for over 50 years. Since 1976, 24 wolves have been born here. Other mammals that can be seen at the Northern Trail are brown bear, river otter, arctic fox, elk, and mountain goat.
Wolves are considered endangered in 47 of the lower 48 states (the exception is Minnesota, where they are considered threatened). Wolves are in dire peril due to human encroachment and unwarranted fears about these predators. For example, by 1930, gray wolves were eliminated from Montana, Idaho and Wyoming, primarily because of conflicts with livestock ranchers. As a result of Canadian restoration programs, wolves returned to northwest Montana beginning in the 1980s. It took nearly 20 years of testy debate before a compromise allowed the reintroduction of wolves to central Idaho and Yellowstone National Park in 1995. Headed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reintroduction efforts were successful. By 1997, there were about 300 wolves in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.
In December 1998, however, a Wyoming judge ruled that the experimental reintroduction of wolves into central Idaho and Yellowstone was illegal and should be revoked, and ordered all reintroduced wolves removed from the wild. The judge stayed his order, pending an appeal from the U.S. Government.
On January 13, 2000, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals oveturned the 1998 ruling. The ruling stated "We reserve the order and judgement of the district court, vacate the district court's stay order, and remand with instructions to the district court to enter an order upholding the challenged wolf reintroduction rules... Discerning no conflict between the challenged experimental population rules and the Endangered Species Act, we reserve the district court's order and judgement." The court solidly supported the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's wolf reintroduction program.
In 2013, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposed to remove gray wolves from the federal list of species protected under the Endangered Species Act. A debate surrounds whether gray wolf populations have recovered sufficiently enough, across a wide range of suitable habitat in their home ranges, to survive for the long-term. Scientists with expertise in wolf biology and recovery have made the case to the U.S. Department of the Interior that gray wolves in many states may not be able to sustain viable recovery in the face of the private and state-condoned hunting that will increase once the wolves are delisted. At present, removal from the endangered species list is too great a setback for this species, which is so valuable to ecosystem health. In recent years, population dispersal westward has resulted in wolves slowly repopulating the North Cascades of Washington. Their future hangs in the balance. A federal policy decision is slated to be made in 2014. See Woodland Park Zoo's official statement on the proposal to delist gray wolves.
The effort to save endangered species requires cooperation and support at the international, national, regional and individual levels. You can help in this cause.

When did the System Fail Kelley Davies Currin and the Rest of Us?
Today Rick Curl was sentenced for 7 years for the sexual abuse of Kelley Currin that happen almost 30 years ago. Rick has been a free man and participating in life like the rest of us for the past 30 years without any consequence for his actions of sexually abusing this minor swimmer at the time in question.
Why didn't something happen sooner? Something did happen. The family settled a confidential case with an undisclosed amount and a gag order was imposed to prevent anyone from discussing the case. Life was meant to go on as normal and all is good. After all Rick Curl was a good coach. He produced Olympians and successful swimmers throughout the collegiate system.
Is it Safer to Compete in Sports
This week the Cal Ripken Sr Foundation came together with NCMEC (National Center for Missing and Exploited Children) to discuss Safe to Compete and address sexual abuse in Sports.
What did we learn that would make sports a better place and a safe and positive environment for all athletes?
The highlight of the conference was that there seems to be a general consensus in the room; to unify background checks. There is a need to the fill the gaps to expose the abuser that continually beats the system and fall through the cracks because of inconsistencies across agencies that maintain felony files. Another issue that was raised is the ability to flag coaches/volunteers that had a sexual abuse charge dismissed that pertained to a minor. If a system can be put in place to install a more meaningful database that all people can draw from so we have a better chance of identifying abusers who have left organizations before suspension, termination or completion of investigations.
Another highlight was data around gender equity in sports leadership. In sports where the board of directors is 50/50 there is significantly less sexual abuse.
The low lights of the conference were the lack of knowledge about and sensitivity to sexual abuse in competitive sports. There seems to have been a misconception about the number of unprotected athletes that we are talking about-- there are 60 million young athletes in open amateur sport community-based multisport organizations.
What wasn't touched on or insufficiently addressed is the multiple levels of abuse that an athlete experiences, many of which are often justified in the guise of "sport" – abuse like physical punishment and verbal and emotional abuse. The problem became bigger as we realized that we don't understand why these commonly acceptable sport behaviors constitute abuse. With the growing number of women now in sports, this demographic is even more susceptible to all aspects of abuse especially sexual abuse and harassment. A study that came out of Japanese Olympic Committee found that 12% of Judo athlete complained about some sort of abuse or sexual harassment according to the BBC Sports. This number doesn't account for those don't feel safe to speak up or ones that don't know want abuse is.
In closing, on another low light is the imbalance of women in leadership roles as sports coaches as well as on the boards of leagues and associations.
We can make a difference today by adopting effective and thorough policies already available atSafe4Athletes.org/4-clubs . We need to know that the culture of abuse in sports will not be addressed through the court system which will handle only the most egregious cases. Each of us at the local program level must be protectors. This means we must educate our coaches, athletes and parents and we must adopt and enforce policies. We cannot wait for someone else to act.
Breaking Down Sexual Abuse in Sports
Since the Sandusky case we have all been made aware that sexual abuse of a young child by a coach is possible. Yet, more attention to the subject and types of sexual abuse in sports needs to be committed to addressing this topic and to developing an infrastructure that supports the needs of the athletes for a safe and positive environment in sports.
The world of sports is complex in regards to the coach-athlete relationship. Although a large proportion of US children participate in youth sport (40 Million), we do not give appropriate attention to analysis of the four differing types of sexual abuse in sports; pedophilia, sexual harassment, sexual abuse and athlete domestic violence.
$60 Million Later and We're Still Vulnerable
By Katherine Starr
The NCAA levied a $60 million sanction against Penn State University after reviewing the outcome of the Freeh report which identified the failures of the institution to protect the victims and putting the institution's needs above the law. Penn State was obligated to comply with child welfare laws and Title IX; it failed. Laws were in place. In the case of Title IX, the institution had required policies and procedures in place. The institution did all of the things it was supposed to do on paper and ultimately, but ultimately this was no more than "lip service" to its legal and ethical obligations. The lesson to be learned from Penn State is a pretty simple one. The organization reflects the values and ethics of its leadership. When a law like Title IX gets passed, whether it is the sexual harassment provisions of the law or its athletics participation requirements, if the institution does not embraces its purpose, educate its staff and make certain that all employees clearly understand their obligations – then Sandusky happens. No one in the formal leadership – presidents and senior administrators – or in the informal power club – Paterno, made it clear that compliance with the law was an expected zero tolerance obligation.

Turner introduces bill requiring drug tests for lawmakers
(Columbus) – Should members of Ohio's legislature be required to undergo drug testing?
State Senator Nina Turner (D-Cleveland) introduced Senate Bill 212 to require annual assessments of members of the General Assembly to determine whether legislators are abusing illegal substances.
"As elected representatives of Ohio's citizens who participate in the crafting of policies that affect 11.5 million people, it is only appropriate that my colleagues and I be held to the highest of standards," Sen. Turner said.
If the assessment finds reasonable suspicion that a legislator has a substance abuse problem, they will be required to submit to a drug test. If results are positive, legislators will be automatically enrolled in the state's Employee Assistance Program for treatment and will not be eligible to receive legislative pay.
Upon completion of the treatment program and a negative drug test, a member could again begin receiving pay. A refusal to submit to the preliminary assessment or drug test will result in a forfeiture of salary.
"With this legislation, we can help ensure that members of the General Assembly are responsibly representing Ohio's taxpayers, and get legislators the assistance they need if necessary," said Sen. Turner.
The impetus for this legislation was the introduction of Senate Bill 182 in September, which would establish a pilot program for the drug testing of Ohio Works First recipients.
"As members of the General Assembly we have a great deal of responsibility. Elected officials should be held to same level of accountability as a single mother receiving help to get back on her feet," said Senator Turner. "If we want to protect taxpayer investments, then what we ask of our citizens shouldn't be different from what we ask from ourselves."

Felton Diary: March 24, 2008
[Note: This is the first of probably a plethora of installments around preparations for, and observations about, Lindependence 2008 in Felton.]
This typical Monday started with a flurry of e-mails sent to those I had e-mailed a couple of weeks ago regarding garnering support from various distros and FOSS programs for Lindependence 2008.
I have to confess, I thought support would be more forthcoming from all segments of what is nebulously referred to as the "Linux community" (I would call it the "GNU/Linux community," but never mind). By Distrowatch.com's count, there are about 360 distros and a few hundred FOSS software programs, but so far, here is who has responded positively to our request for support.
OpenSUSE and Kubuntu are discussing it and e-mails have been forwarded to whomever need to read them.
But after two weeks, that's it.
I'm willing to cut wide swatches of slack here. For the most part, unless I actually have corresponded with someone or actually have an e-mail address of someone in authority in a distro or FOSS program, I sent the message to "Contact Us" and asked the recipient to make sure it gets to whomever needs to see it. Whether that actually happened, only the recipient knows.
(Also, there's the issue of Debian elections, which excuses them from an answer, but not for long.)
So again, it's back to the e-mails, mentioning again that this is a good opportunity for distros and FOSS programs to make inroads in Central California, and to see which distros and FOSS programs respond to this opportunity.
This event will go on regardless, and it remains to be seen whether people who talk the FOSS talk actually walk the FOSS walk.
Clear and cool in Henry Cowell State Park, and the rest of Felton.

Black cutworm is a pest of corn in Iowa, occasionally causing economic loss. Cooperators around Iowa assist Iowa State University integrated pest management staff in determining when black cutworm adults arrive from overwintering sites near the Gulf Coast. A network of pheromone traps shows that two major black cutworm flights occurred in Iowa this spring, the first on April 14 and the second on April 18-20. Both flights were reported across the entire state. Trap data provide us with a key first step in black cutworm management because it lets us know when the moths arrive and females lay eggs. We then track degree day accumulations to calculate when black cutworm larvae will reach a size that they can start cutting corn.
Predicted dates. The presence of a major flight does not mean that there will be economic damage from black cutworms. Adverse weather, lack of adequate food for newly hatched larvae, predation, and disease can reduce larval populations. We do not recommend planting-time insecticide treatments for black cutworm control but instead encourage farmers to scout fields for larvae cutting corn. Larvae are large enough to begin cutting when about 300 base-50 degree days have accumulated since eggs were laid. The map shows the anticipated date when cutting is likely to begin, based on accumulated base-50 degree days as of May 3, and assuming average temperatures over the next 2 weeks. This year's map is simple compared with previous years' maps, largely because of the uniformity of flight arrival in Iowa.
Scouting. Begin scouting a day or two before the projected scouting date for your area. Fields with early spring weed growth, especially where tillage was delayed until just prior to planting, and corn planted into soybean stubble are the most likely areas for black cutworm problems. Look for leaf feeding as a sign of early cutworm injury. If you find leaf feeding, try to find the larva responsible in the soil near the damaged plant. Dingy cutworms look much like black cutworms but rarely if ever cause economic damage and do not warrant treatment. Dingy cutworms can be distinguished by having four slightly raised black spots, or tubercles, of uniform diameter on each body segment. Black cutworms also have four tubercles, but one pair of tubercles is clearly larger than the other pair. If you find black cutworm larvae, mark off 100 plants in a row, and scout these same plants for cutting over time. Establish the 100-plant monitoring stations in several spots in the field. The strips allow you to monitor how damage progresses (or doesn't) over time.
Economic (treatment) thresholds. When cutworms are small (less than 1 inch long) they have much time remaining to feed and can cause considerable damage. An insecticide treatment should be considered if 2-3 percent of the plants is wilted or cut. For black cutworms longer than 1 inch, treatment should be considered if 5 percent of the plants is cut. For fields with populations under 20,000 larvae, use judgment and consider treating sooner. You can stop scouting when the field is sprayed with a rescue treatment, or if the corn plants reach V5 (five-leaf) stage; cutworms have difficulty cutting plants this large. A planting time treatment with an insecticide may not control large populations of black cutworms, so check these fields as well.
What are suggested insecticide treatments? The products in the table are labeled for rescue treatments of corn for black cutworm control. If the surface is dry, rotary hoeing just after application will increase the effectiveness of Lorsban. However, Ambush, Asana, Pounce, or Warrior should not be incorporated. Read the specific product label before application.

Jenni's Favorite Southern Style Biscuits
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup shortening
2 tablespoons butter, chilled
1 cup milk
Heat oven to 450°. Adjust oven rack to center position.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Cut in chilled shortening and butter until you have pieces the size of small peas. Make a well in center of dry ingredients; pour in milk. With a wooden spoon, gently blend dry ingredients into the milk, just until mixture is clumping together. If necessary, add a few more teaspoons of milk.
Optional Herb Cheddar Garlic Biscuits
Add to raw dough, 1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder mix onto the after dough it is formed. Proceed with cutting and baking directions above.
After baked: In a small bowl, melt 1 tablespoon butter in the microwave for 10 seconds, then add 1 teaspoon chopped parsley, brush tops. Sprinkle with more shredded cheddar cheese till melted.
Southern Style white gravy to pour over biscuits:
1/2 lb ground sausage
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
3 cups cold
Fry the sausage until it's not pink and thoroughly cooked. Drain the grease on a paper towel, saving two tablespoons of sausage grease. Melt the butter in a clean fry pan, add the flour a little at a time over medium heat, whisking constantly.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes. Stir in cold milk a little at a time, whisking evenly. When thickened add sausage.
Add salt and pepper to taste.

Premier Stephen McNeil, along with ministers Andrew Younger, left, and Mark Furey held a press conference in Middleton to discuss Nova Scotia Power's response to the post-Arthur power outages.
©Killen photo
With more than 2,200 people still in the dark after nearly a week, Nova Scotia Power is under review.
Premier Stephen McNeil, along with ministers Leo Glavine, Andrew Younger and Mark Furey, held a press conference in Middleton to discuss Nova Scotia Power's response to the post-Arthur power outages.
McNeil is calling for a priority review of Nova Scotia Power and how emergency situations like this one will be handled. The Utility Review Board will release details of this process next week and people will have a chance to have their say.
"We recognize the hard work by the dedicated crews, but response from Nova Scotia Power was inexcusable," he said. "We can do better and we believe a priority review is required given the extreme outages and communication challenges."
While the review is looking at staffing levels and the condition of infrastructure, ensuring residents receive clear and accurate information is also a top priority, according to McNeil.
It's estimated that of the 2,200 Nova Scotians still without power, 1,342 of them are Valley residents. Pockets of powerless residents are scattered throughout the Valley.
McNeil told reporters that his own family went without electricity for five days and he understands the frustration people are feeling.
Too many people have been left without electricity for far too long. He added that some of the most vulnerable people have been put into potentially dangerous situations.
McNeil said if Nova Scotia Power had provided accurate information to residents, people would have made other decisions to protect food and other necessities for longer periods of time.
"If accurate information had been provided, if people knew what to expect, they would have made other decisions," he said. "This was a summer storm, so people didn't prepare the way they would for a winter storm. It caught us by surprise, but it won't happen again."
He pointed out that many low-income people lost freezers full of food, as well as their weekly gas allowances, trying to fuel generators or drive to community comfort centers.
"The minister of energy has spoken with the chair of the UARB and they have agreed this requires further investigation to examine Nova Scotia Power's preparedness and response to the storm."
The government is asking for a complete review that will include storm preparedness, staffing levels, the scope of tree-pruning along power lines, the state of infrastructure as well as the company's communication policies.
Andrew Younger, minister of energy, said that Annapolis County was probably the hardest hit, but so far there are no estimates on how much the damage will cost to repair.
He added that most of the severe damage took place at substations and other key pieces of infrastructure, taking out the electricity in neighbourhood blocks without much apparent damage to powerlines.
He added that one of the major frustrations many people experienced was a lack of information about where power outages were taking place and the inaccurate estimates for restoration times.
Younger said that while he didn't lose electricity in either his Dartmouth home or his office, Nova Scotia Power included his addresses on their outage list, while people who lost power in other areas were told their service was fine.
"Arthur is the first named storm for 2014, so if there are immediate improvements that can be made, we want them to be done expeditiously," said Younger. "We hold our utility to the highest standards, and we need to understand why it has taken so long to restore power and why people weren't properly informed."
Government is also including other key infrastructure partners, such as Eastlink, Bell Aliant and others, next week to review emergency response efforts.
"Significant storms always carry the risk of infrastructure loss, but we need to identify what can be done to minimize this loss," said Furey. "We'll also be taking a close look at how all organizations responded to the emergency to identify areas for improvement before we're hit with another significant storm."
In response the premier's announcement this morning, officials at Nova Scotia Power issued a timely response, welcoming a review of their storm preparedness.

Summer 2011
"our SUMMER-SPECIALS"
Would you like to be on your way with a bicycle but going slow enough to enjoy Vienna's tourist attractions?
If that sounds appealing, then perhaps our "Summer Special" is exactly right for you: 2 nights in a double room, including a Welcome Gift, a Citybike for men or women, and a lunch pack for your completely personal bike excursion.
For our budget-conscious guests, we again have special easy-on-the-holiday budget offers in our economy rooms.

"Did you know? – Our Hotel AUSTRIA behind the scenes"
Our restaurant offers breakfast only to our guests – but have you ever thought about what "only" means? Day by day our ladies clean up to 500 pieces of porcelain and countless glasses and cutlery in addition to that!
This is not really manageable by hand and is therefore accomplished mechanically. A new, modern, dishwashing machine has become available just a short while ago.
By the way, our breakfast porcelain collection has just received its latest addition: we've acquired special, sizable teacups for all tea enthusiasts.
"Current EVENTS / HAPPENINGS in Vienna in July 2011"
Interested in music, theater, the opera, museums, or exhibitions?
We'll be happy to keep you informed about all the dates / schedules and perhaps even let you in on a few secrets too…
Fete Imperial
The Fête Impériale at Vienna's Spanish Riding School promises to be a ball night to remember – in a truly memorable location.
Following last year's hugely successful inaugural event, the Spanish Riding School will once again be transformed into a glittering ballroom on July 7, 2011. The riding arena, which otherwise sets the stage for the graceful ballet of the Lipizzan stallions, is recast as a ballroom, while the galleries of the Winter Riding School provide a promenade where ballgoers can mingle. The actual ball plays out under the stars at the Summer Riding School.
The Spanish Riding School is no stranger to society events, having played host to Maria Theresa's legendary gatherings as long ago as the mid-1700s. And now the Fête Impériale breathes new life into the time honored tradition of hosting court dances at the Spanish Riding School. All the proceeds from the summer ball will be donated to scientific projects including traditional breeding programs for the thoroughbred Lipizzan horses, and keeping the Lipizzan Registry.
Makart: Superstar of the Ringstraße period
Hans Makart was an exception in 19th century Vienna: he was a painter, designer and for a short while a universal artist, to whom two exhibitions in Vienna are dedicated from June.
The Wien Museum in the Künstlerhaus and the Lower Belvedere give an insight into Makart's creativity and era. Today, the name Hans Makart (1840-1884) stands not only for giant screens in effective painting, but also for the excessive star cult and the glory of a whole epoch - the Makart era. Over and beyond his painting, Makart the universal designer had an impact on opera and theater, living culture and clothing style. In the 1870s, he initiated a fashion in Vienna - everything was available, from Makart red to the Makart hat and the Makart decolleté. As a universal artist he characterized the Ringstraßen period like no other. Even Emperor Franz Joseph was enthralled by him and asked him to organize the procession to mark the occasion of his silver wedding to Empress Elisabeth on 27 April 1879: 27 floats, 14,000 participants and 300,000 adoring onlookers were involved.
For this reason, a central room of the exhibition "Makart. An artist rules the city" in the Wien Museum/Künstlerhaus is dedicated to this parade. Original exhibits from the procession will be on display. Also on show: Makart's studio, numerous portraits (back together in Vienna again for the first time since 1883 is the cycle of pictures entitled "Ring of the Nibelungen"), oil sketches, drawings, costumes, photographs, interiors and fashion.
Around 85 works of Hans Makart are on view in the show "Makart. Painter of the sense" at the Lower Belvedere. Above all, the monumental portrait "Venice pays homage to Caterina Cornaro", which is an impressive ten meters wide. There is also a true-to-scale reconstruction of the "Dumba Room", the workroom of the patron Nikolaus Dumba, which was a cultural meeting point during Makart's time. Makart's reflections on architecture will be presented in monumental architectural fantasies. His references to Eugène Delacroix will also be focused on. Makart's design or the ceiling frescos in the Museum of Fine Arts was taken from Delacroix' ideas for those in the Louvre.
9 June - 16 October 2011 Künstlerhaus
Dalí then and now
An exhibition in the Kunsthalle Wien from June to October presents selected works by Salvador Dalí opposite works by contemporary artists.
Under the title "Le Surréalisme, c'est moi!" (translated: "I am surrealism!"), the Kunsthalle Wien presents Salvador Dalí in a contemporary context. Selected works of the great surrealist are placed opposite internationally established works (paintings, installations, videos, etc.) by artists Louise Bourgeois, Glenn Brown, Markus Schinwald and Francesco Vezzoli. A total of 70 original works by the exceptional artist Dalí, who died in 1989, will be shown: these are mainly works on paper, but also include ten paintings (including "The Colossus of Rhodes" from 1954).
The exhibition aims to draw fresh attention to Dalí's innovative impulses and the visionary, often edgy aspects of his creations, viewed by some as provocative and controversial. The melting clocks and burning giraffes became trademarks of the Spanish painter, who was born in 1904.
22 June - 23 October 2011Vienna Kunsthalle in the MuseumsQuartier
ImPuls Tanz
Europe's biggest dance festival promises exciting times from the world of contemporary dance: a man in an aquarium, posing on pointe shoes, a dog on stage, a shackled Prometheus.
On 12 July, the Canadian company La La La Human Steps of Edouard Lock will show virtuoso dance in pointe shoes. In the evening, the Festival Lounge opens the doors to the Burgtheater vestibule.
Bollywood star Terence Lewis and his company perform a bombastic open-air Bollywood spectacle in the MuseumsQuartier on 13 July - with free admission.
ImPulsTanz then shows premier performances, innovative newcomers and early works by the masters of contemporary dance for four whole weeks.
Works by Ivo Dimchev and Franz West (with dog), Christine Gaigg and Marco Berrettini as well as Marie Chouinard celebrate world premieres. Chouinard even dances a solo.
Liquid Loft / Chris Haring starts a new cycles and Wim Vandekeybus / Ultima Vez present an Oedipus piece and, in "Monkey Sandwich", a man in an aquarium. Meg Stuart and Philipp Gehmacher explore solitude and closeness in "Maybe forever". Dirk Stermann, a cabaret artist on Austrian television, shows his first work as a choreographer.
The focal point of ImPulsTanz is the showcase of Belgian artist Jan Fabre and his company Troubleyn, including the group work "Prometheus - Landscape II". The exhibition "Jan Fabre - The Years of the Blue Hour" can be seen at the Museum of Fine Arts from 4 May.
Those hungry for movement have from almost two hundred dance workshops to choose from.

City oases in summer
Summer in Vienna is best enjoyed in the open air. Numerous bars and restaurants – above all on the Danube Canal – offer the perfect place to chill out, and shorten the warm summer nights.
Just a few paces from Vienna's old city, trendy beach bars along the Danube Canal provide that Riviera feeling with music, cool cocktails and delicious food. Strandbar Herrmann at the Urania is not only a hotspot during the evenings. Drop on by at the weekend for brunch from 10.00 am, accompanied by jazz on Saturdays.
On the Badeschiff (Pool Boat) a few steps further along, an outdoor pool and refreshing cocktails on the top deck are an attraction on hot summer days. On dry land, visitors can enjoy a beer garden and, for the first time this year, a fish market with freshly grilled fish specialties. The Motto am Fluss at the mooring point of the Twin City Liner is another hotspot, with every seat on the terrace occupied in summer. The outdoor area of the nearby Flex Café is also a crowd-puller in good weather.
On the opposite side of the Danube Canal, the Adria Wien and the Tel Aviv Beach, with its DJs and Israeli cuisine, are popular meeting points. The Wiener Schützenhaus right next door is a new location for this year. The building constructed by Otto Wagner also has a garden, where guests can enjoy the evening sun.
Upstream at the U4 subway station Rossauer Lände is the Summer Stage, which offers a mix of enjoyment, sport and culture as well as a relaxing view of the water. A bit further along is Pier 9, which offers visitors not only good food, but also a climbing wall.
Upstream at the U4 subway station Rossauer Lände is the Summer Stage, which offers a mix of enjoyment, sport and culture as well as a relaxing view of the water. Another good place to relax is the MuseumsQuartier: hanging out in venues under the open sky, chilling out on trendy loungers, playing boules and listening to the weekend sounds of the DJs on the side - that's modern Viennese gemütlichkeit.
The biggest beach club in the city is "Sand in the City" on Heumarkt. Beneath palm trees and on the finest sand, people come to play volleyball, pump iron at the fitness facilities and refresh themselves afterwards at the food stalls. DJs provide the right atmosphere during the evenings.

Sommer im MQ
In 2011 the MuseumsQuartier celebrates its tenth birthday – with many events all summer long.
Vienna's MuseumsQuartier (MQ) is one of ten largest cultural districts in the world. The mix of large museums, small cultural initiatives and trendy bars is a success story.
Built by the Baroque architect Fischer von Erlach, the former imperial stables have now established themselves as an independent city district.
The Summer at the MQ is dedicated to the tenth anniversary and begins on May 5, 2011 with an opening party in cooperation with Vienna?s private university, the Konservatorium Wien. Come relax in the gardens with boules tracks, cool sounds and stylish summer furniture in the courtyard of the MuseumsQuartier until the beginning of October. In addition to the famous Enzis, the new Enzos seats have been in use since last year.
The anniversary will be officially celebrated on June 30 with a ceremony and open-air events. Bands from all over Europe and an impressive 3D show ensure a festive atmosphere. The ImPulsTanz festival opens on July 14 in the courtyard of the MuseumsQuartier with a great Bollywood spectacle. The literature festival O-Töne and the frame[o]ut film festival will also offer special anniversary programs in the summer.
The museums and cultural institutions will also offer equally attractive exhibitions in summer. There are also many open-air works of art to admire - from sculptures to sound installations and masterpieces of dark humor from the Club der Komischen Künste.

Top recruit Nkemdiche likely to choose Ole Miss
ATLANTA — Robert Nkemdiche is just about everybody's No. 1 prospect on National Signing Day.
Rivals.com, Scout.com, ESPN, CBS Sports and 247Sports all give No. 1 rankings to Nkemdiche, the big defensive end from Grayson High School near Atlanta.
That's good news for Mississippi. Nkemdiche is expected to sign with the Rebels early Wednesday morning.
Louisiana State and Florida are believed to be Nkemdiche's other finalists. Nkemdiche's last visit was to LSU last weekend. The big edge for Ole Miss is Denzel Nkemdiche, Robert's older brother who led the Rebels in tackles as a redshirt freshman linebacker last season.
The family connection may be an insurmountable advantage, but the late decision to visit LSU added drama to Wednesday's announcement. Nkemdiche's updates on his final visit provided encouragement to LSU fans.
"LSU pushing man!!!! Getting hard now," Nkemdiche tweeted.
In another tweet, he said "LSU pulling out da facts!!!"
Nkemdiche made a public commitment to Clemson last year but then changed his mind, de-committing in November as Ole Miss again moved to the front of his list.
Grayson coach Mickey Conn said that Nkemdiche has been under tremendous pressure and has "clammed up pretty good" about his plans.
"I think it's been extremely tough on him," Conn said. "He's getting pulled in more directions than what most people want. People dream of having this opportunity, but the one thing that gets left out of this is the pressure. The stress of making the right choice is something a lot of people don't understand, and then you involve the family aspect. Having a brother who is playing at Ole Miss adds more pressure to Robert.
"He wants to make the right choice."
Though there is pressure, Conn said Nkemdiche (6-4, 280) has embraced the process.
"He's been taking visits since he was in the ninth grade," Conn said. "He's been to all the big schools, maybe not on official visits, but Robert has not been shorted on being treated to the red carpet at all these places. He's well aware of what's out there."
Nkemdiche's combination of size and explosive quickness prompted veteran recruiting analyst Tom Lemming of CBS Sports to draw comparisons with past and current stars.
"He's built more like Reggie White and he has an explosive first step like Jadeveon Clowney," Lemming said. White is a Hall of Famer regarded as one of the best defensive linemen in NFL history. Clowney placed sixth in the Heisman Trophy voting as a sophomore at South Carolina last season.
"I've been doing this 34 years," Lemming said. "My second year, Reggie White came out of Howard High School in Chattanooga. He kind of has a Reggie White type build. Similar. I'm not saying he's as good as that until he gets there. He has that same great first step and quickness and body control and almost similar build, so he's got what it takes to make it big on the next level.
"The only thing we can't determine yet is his work ethic once he gets to college."
Lemming said Nkemdiche explodes off the line like Clowney.
"They both have that great first step," Lemming said. "I don't think he's as good as Clowney, but he's not that far off. I think he's got all the tools."
Nkemdiche had 18 sacks as a junior to lead Grayson to the 2011 Class AAAAA state championship. He had only five sacks as a senior, thanks to extra attention from offensive lines.
"He's a guy who demands the double-team," Lemming said. "With two or three guys on him this year he still played well."
Lemming said he believes it is a "just a forgone conclusion" that Nkemdiche will join his brother at Ole Miss. Denzel has openly lobbied for his brother to sign with the Rebels.

Whenever we have pasta for dinner, we make sure to have some sort of garlic bread with it. My family loves the Garlic Texas Toast you can buy in the freezer section of the grocery store, so I decided to whip up some at home!
Cheesy Garlic Texas Toast Recipe:
(Serves 8)
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
8 slices white bread, cut 1-inch thick (you could use regular white bread or french bread)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Italian seasoning, to taste
Preheat broiler setting on oven. Mix together butter and garlic powder in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Brush both sides of each slice of bread with butter mixture and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Broil bread for 1 minute on each side, or until light golden brown. Sprinkle one side of bread with cheese and Italian seasoning and broil until cheese is melted. Watch closely to avoid burning.
