Consensus Report
Research at the Intersection of the Physical and Life Sciences (2009)Board on Life Sciences
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
An increasing number of scientists are addressing problems that lie at the intersection of the life sciences and the physical sciences. This report discusses how some of the most important scientific and societal challenges can be addressed, at least in part, by collaborative research among traditional disciplines, including biology, chemistry, and physics. It describes how tools and techniques developed in the physical sciences are being applied to current biological mysteries and identifies five areas of potentially transformative research. Combining the skills and knowledge of researchers in life sciences and physical sciences to identify structures and processes that form the basis for living systems represents one such opportunity. Scientists could potentially use that insight to construct systems with some characteristics of life. Such systems could, for example, synthesize materials or carry out functions not yet seen in natural biology. The report recommends several ways to accelerate such cross-discipline research.
Key Messages
- Most often, collaborative research among the physical and life sciences applies concepts, analyses, and tools developed in the physical sciences to problems in the biological sciences.
- One area producing effective cross-discipline research opportunities centers on the dynamics of systems. Equilibrium, multistability, and stochastic behavior--concepts familiar to physicists and chemists--are now being used to tackle issues associated with living systems such as adaptation, feedback, and emergent behavior.
- Technologies, from the physical sciences, for recognizing symptoms and identifying pathogen strains allow early detection and intervention against natural -- and man-made -- biological threats. Using techniques related to speech recognition, mathematicians have worked to map the genetic similarity of influenza viruses. Using color and spatial distribution, subtle evolved differences in virus strains can be identified, and decisions about the potential effectiveness of vaccines become easier.
- The potential benefits for society from research that integrates the physical and biological sciences are profound -- in medicine, agriculture, energy, and climate science.
- The scientific and societal challenge of understanding the role of physical/biological interactions in climate change is at least as profound in the area of solutions as it is in impacts. Essentially all possible approaches for offsetting emissions of greenhouse gases, including biological sequestration, decreased deforestation, and geological and deep ocean sequestration, involve changes to biological systems.
- There is no reason, in principle, why self-reproducing, evolving systems cannot be generated in a wide range of chemical formats. Using the knowledge from the physical sciences, we face the ambitious possibility of generating synthetic units with basic attributes of living matter such as compartmentalization, metabolism, homeostasis, replication, and the capacity for Darwinian evolution. Such self-replicating, evolving organisms have the potential to create more efficient functions for a broad range of applications.

Project Lifesaver
What is Project Lifesaver
Etowah County Sheriff's Office partners with the Pilot Club of Gadsden to provide a system for tracking clients with Alzheimer's, dementia or persons with autism in the event they wander away from their caregiver. Project Lifesaver provides special armbands to assist in locating them if they become lost. The armbands emit radio signals that can be tracked using special equipment. When sheriff's deputies are alerted that a client is missing, the devices are tuned into that person's assigned signal. Most clients are found within a few minutes.
There are currently more than 25 individuals in Etowah County who participate in Project Lifesaver.
How it works
Armbands may be purchased through Etowah County Sheriff's Office. Some armbands are available at little or no cost for families facing financial hardship, thanks to donations from citizens and support from local foundations. Etowah County Sheriff's Office investigators interview prospective clients and their families. Based on information collected, trained personnel receive authorization to meet with families and place the armband on the individual. Once a month a visit to the home will be made to check on the armband, replace the battery and insure the device is working properly. Personnel is available should a client remove or damage their armband.
How can you receive an armband for someone you care for?
Etowah County Sheriff's Office
Phone: (256) 546-2825
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com
Who do I call if my loved one wanders away?
Call 911 immediately. Be sure to tell dispatchers that the individual has an armband. Dispatchers will notify the appropriate deputies to assist in finding the person as quickly as possible.
How do I donate so that more patients may have armbands?
Donations may be made to the Etowah County Sheriff's Office.

The Dinah Washington Cultural Arts Center opens with a party tonight on the anniversary of the birthday of its namesake, the legendary blues singer who was born in Tuscaloosa. The center will serve as this area's newest home for arts, artists and arts lovers.
The Dinah Washington Cultural Arts Center opens with a party tonight on the anniversary of the birthday of its namesake, the legendary blues singer who was born in Tuscaloosa.
The center will serve as this area's newest home for arts, artists and arts lovers.
The converted Allen and Jemison building at Seventh Street and Greensboro Avenue in downtown Tuscaloosa is using 120,000 square feet crafted into a pair of airy exhibit spaces, a black-box theater, grand hall, catering areas and office spaces.
The center is managed by the Arts Council of Tuscaloosa, the umbrella organization that also runs the Bama Theatre on the other corner of that Greensboro block.
The interior of the Dinah Washington Cultural Arts Center mixes old and new, with the sturdy brick facade of the 1903 building largely intact. Ground floor ceilings soar 18 feet high; heart pine floors were refinished and towering windows replaced. Rotating walls were added to the exhibit areas. Pneumatic tubes were left curving overhead from the days when the old hardware store workers sent money zooming back to the cashier's office. Those rear spaces have been turned into homes for the Tuscaloosa Symphony Orchestra, the Tuscaloosa Children's Theatre, the Tuscaloosa Community Dancers, the Arts Council's satellite office and more.
The Dinah Washington Cultural Arts Center will play host to rotating exhibits from the community and University of Alabama and will host performances of theater and music. The center will be available to rent for weddings, community meetings and rehearsals.
"We are pretty close to ready," said Meghan Hawkes, the Bama's assistant manager and Arts Council's marketing coordinator. "There have been a lot of last-minute things that have been happening ... touching up paint, curtains are being hung right now in the black box. There are just some things we couldn't do until the space was all cleared out.
"It's pretty. We're just making it ready for people to walk in."
Plans have evolved over the years since the city voted to lease the building from Christ Episcopal Church. The $3.4 million project began in 2010, cleaning and repairing windows and exterior brick, bringing electric and plumbing up to code, tearing down an old stairwell and building two new ones, adding and completing a side entrance, new bathrooms, offices, kitchen, display and black-box spaces. Only the first floor is complete; earlier plans envisioned the second floor as artists' work spaces, but rising costs and delays after the April 27, 2011, tornado scaled the project back. Original optimistic estimates were that phase one might be open by fall 2011, but more realistic projections saw it opening in January of this year, before the August adjustment to Washington's birthday was made.
In addition to touch-ups, there were other additions not included in the contract with Harrison Construction, such as lights, curtains, the entryway, wiring for Wi-Fi setups.
"So we need to raise about another $150,000," said Sandy Wolfe, executive director of the Arts Council. "We are 10 percent away from completing the fundraising goals. That's not bad considering the economy."
Government agencies contributed, including $500,000 from the county commission. Corporate and foundation entities kicking in included UA, Alabama Power and the Alabama State Council on the Arts. The city secured a $1.5 million loan from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, for renovation and preservation, to be repaid over 20 years through portions of annual proceeds of Community Development Block Grant money, and leased use of the building through June 30, 2032.
Today's opening night event will feature the ribbon cutting at 6:30, with the work of Tuscaloosa painter James Conner in The Arts Council Gallery, and "A Magic Carpet Ride: Rugs from the Collection of Dr. and Mrs. William T. Price" on display in the UA Gallery. The Prentice Concert Chorale and other musicians will perform, and the Actor's Charitable Theatre will bring characters from its upcoming "Shrek: The Musical."
"We're getting all the performers ready; getting the piano tuned," said Wolfe, who is a classically trained musician. "It's a Christofori, 51⁄2 feet, and it sounds really nice in here."
Staff and volunteers have been working so hard on the center, it's difficult to gain perspective, she said. Maybe once the venue opens, they can breathe a little easier.
"But at the end of the evening, last night, walking away, and then coming back in ... it's pretty special," she said.
Staff is creating a time-lapse video of the lighting of the Dinah Washington Cultural Arts Center, "so in 75 more years, they'll have something special to show," Wolfe said.
Tonight's event is free and open to the public.

Kitchen Spotlight: Open Storage in Small Kitchens
We love the look of neatly organized open storage, but it seems like it would be hard to keep things uncluttered and clean. Perhaps the fact that it's all open is motivation enough to keep shelves straightened and neat!
Michael's question yesterday about wall-mounted storage for flatware made us want to revisit this post and add a few more ideas for open storage. Take a look at some inspiration for open storage from past Apartment Therapy house tours.
• Small Cool 2008 Entry Northwest #11: John's Mission Melange - Another shot from this kitchen, which you and we and everyone else flipped over in our unofficial kitchen vote earlier this week. Look at the milk jars, and the way that he fits so much into one cabinet. There is a LOT of food there, but it adds to the visual appeal of the kitchen in those glass jars.
• Small Cool 2008 Entry Midwest #18: Lacey's Comfortingly Eclectic - The classic pegboard approach. If it was good enough for Julia Child... We also like the Three Potato Four tea towels framed over the stove!
• Small Cool 2008 Entry Northwest #8: Maggie's Bombshelter - Another pegboard, and a well-edited set of pans.
• Small Cool 2008 Entry Southwest #17: Matthew's Cartoonist Corner - And for something completely different - a bicycle stored in the kitchen! What do you think about this?
• House Tour: Dan & Eszter's Eclectic Mid-Century Modern Home - Even as renters Dan and Eszter are able to infuse their kitchen with some character. We like this open shelf over the stove, using what would otherwise be a dead spot. They have quite a lot of essential cooking utensils and ingredients here - not to mention some great visual accents.
• House Tour: Paola & John's Converted Switch House - These gorgeous industrial cupboards are open (or glass-front). We like the semi-closed look a lot.
• Xing's Eclectic Bellevue Home - Another semi-closed option. It makes the kitchen feel a little lighter, a little more open while still hiding stuff.
• Sharon and Spencer's Danish & Dogs Domicile - OK, this one isn't really storage - but that cupboard over the sink for display is so lovely! We can picture it filled with spices and small kitchen tools, too. Great use of another potential dead spot in the kitchen.
• House Tour: Stuart Masters Modern Glamour - A before and after! Stuart's previous kitchen was tiny and yet still made a good use of open storage. We like how the pans hang over the pantry; this doubles up on space and keeps the clutter all in one area.
His new kitchen has open shelving with dishes on top and canisters lined up below.
Have you seen a particularly good implementation of open storage lately?

Scythe Musashi Review
Apart from the use the Grim Reaper makes of it and the one in video games such as Diablo II, a scythe is normally used to cut crops, such as wheat. Five years ago the company Scythe was born, giving a whole new meaning to the word scythe. Instead of cutting wheat, some of Scythe's products, such as heatsinks and fans, are used to cut...
This Japanese company is well known in the DIY world mainly because of its CPU heatsinks. Everyone knows the popular "Ninja" series, well-performing and silent coolers. But a while ago, a new product was launched, the Musashi, which is Scythe's first foray into the VGA cooler market. This thin cooler features two 100mm slim fans that can be controlled via two small knobs. The base is connected to the aluminum fins using copper heatpipes, and a wide set of aluminum heatsinks for various chips is also provided with it. However, why call it the Musashi? A quick Google search showed me that Musashi is a province of Japan. A warrior named Musashi was also known for his legendary swordsmanship, and a battleship of the Imperial Japanese Navy was also named the same. So let's see if Scythe's first try in the VGA cooler market is a success or an epic fail.
Closer look:
A picture of the Scythe Musashi is displayed on the front of the box, along with its name. These two elements occupy most of the space on the front. On the gold shape at the top, it is emphasized that the Musashi is compatible with various graphics cards. This is where I first noticed that all the information present on the box is also written in a foreign language. This illustrates very well the beginnings of Scythe in Japan, where the company seems to have a lot of customers. Next, lower in the middle, a red sticker says that the cooler is now compatible with the ATI Radeon HD4800 series. Because of the keyword "Now," my first guess is that there were maybe some coolers made at first that were not compatible. Under the name of the cooler, there is a paragraph labeled "Caution!" It says that removing the stock cooler and making any modifications to the graphics card will void its warranty. On the side of the box, the fact that it is equipped with dual 100x100x12mm fans is mentioned. By using such fans, the cooler remains very thin and at the same time maximizes the cooling performance. At the back of the box is where you can find the specifications. They are written in six different languages, in a table at the top. Then, in a picture right under this table, all included parts and accessories are shown, as well as the fan controller and the cooler base. Finally, the most important part, the graphics card compatibility table. It is located in the middle, at the left. The list is pretty wide, however there is no sign of the latest from nVidia, the GTX260 and GTX280. How deceiving, I would have liked to test it on one of those. One last thing, the ATI HD4800 series cards are not in the list, another hint saying that these coolers were not made for them at first. So you really need to trust the added sticker on the front.
So now let's open the box. In it, you will find the installation manual, which is in the form of two large sheets. Common instructions for all graphics cards are there, as well as specific instructions for particular cards. In the second picture, you can see the thermal paste included, which looks like Arctic Silver 5, but not as thick. There are also four thumb screws and a backplate to hang the cooler right in place. The small rubber cushion puts all the pressure on the GPU so that there is none on the PCB. The small copper plate is there if you ever have a graphics card on which the frame of the GPU is higher than the core. In this case, putting this small plate in between would allow contact with the cooler. Finally, you can see the generous package of chip heatsinks provided. There are 16 heatsinks approximately the size of a RAM chip, four longer but narrower ones, and three other custom ones. I say custom because they are made for particular graphics cards. In the instructions, they say to use the longest one on the 9800GTX and the smallest one on the 8800GTS G92. The one with the plastic clips is for the HSI chip of the 8800GTX. So with all these heatsinks, there are more than enough to get all chips on your graphics card covered. One interesting thing is that Scythe decided to simply use glue to stick these heatsinks on the chips, instead of the thicker thermal interface used by other companies. That layer of glue is provided by the company 3M. Considering it is much thinner than other interfaces I saw on other heatsinks, I don't think it will perform any less.
Finally, let's look at the cooler.

Airlines Dispute Planned Air-Controller Cuts
FAA Says Sequester Forces Employee Furloughs, While Industry Argues Passengers Are Being Used as Political Pawns
Planned furloughs of air-traffic controllers that could cause major disruptions in air travel are sparking a dispute between the Federal Aviation Administration and airlines over how much discretion the agency has in making its sequester cuts.
The FAA, which employs virtually all of the country's civilian air-traffic controllers, says the furloughs are unavoidable under mandatory federal budget cuts, and it predicts flights could be delayed by up to 90 minutes at busy airports as a result.
The airline industry's leading trade group, Airlines for America, has sent a legal memo to federal officials arguing that the FAA can make the cuts without major furloughs. Representatives of several major airlines said they back the trade group's position, but declined to comment further. Two airline officials, who wouldn't be named, said in interviews they think the FAA is making fliers political pawns, as the Obama administration looks to use public backlash over flight delays to force Republicans into a budget deal.
FAA Administrator Michael Huerta said in a statement that "we are working to both ensure the safety of the traveling public and have the least impact possible on the largest number of people." He added, sequester law "leaves us with no other equitable option than to furlough our air-traffic controllers."
Air-traffic controllers are warning that the furloughs could force them to reduce the rate of flights arriving at big airports like Chicago's O'Hare International and Miami International by a third to a half during peak periods or bad weather. Roughly 40% of U.S. flights take off from just 10 cities.
Federal officials are making air travel "the poster child for sequestration, ensuring that the 2 million people and 50,000 tons of cargo that fly every day are impacted by projected delays caused by arbitrary cuts," said Airlines for America Chief Executive Nick Calio, who was a legislative-affairs assistant to former President George W. Bush.
The flight delays—coupled with expected sequester-related delays at airport security and customs checks—could make flying this summer more painful than usual.
But many in the airline industry expressed cautious optimism. "It if happens, it will be tough, but we'll manage through it," said one airline executive who declined to be named.
Details of the furloughs are still being finalized, and the FAA hasn't asked carriers to cut flights. Some airline officials said they are confident they can work with midlevel FAA managers to shift the timing of furloughs to cover the busiest periods.
The industry is somewhat upbeat because there are 13% fewer domestic flights than six years ago, and 82% of them were on time last year, compared to 73% in 2007.
The FAA has frozen hiring and, beginning on April 21, all 47,000 agency employees must take off one day per 10 work days without pay. It also plans to cut overnight shifts at more than 60 towers at medium-size airports this summer and eliminate about 170 control towers staffed by contracted employees at small airports next month.
Air-traffic controllers say furloughs will strain an already understaffed workforce, which also will have to fill gaps left by tower closures at small airports. Controllers say they will prioritize safety over efficiency, which at times will cause cascading delays through the U.S.
"We're working together to make sure safety is not going to be affected, but unfortunately, you might want to buy 'War and Peace' before you get on your next flight," said Miami controller Jim Marinitti, a representative of the National Air-Traffic Controllers Association, the union representing all FAA controllers.
Jenny Dervin, JetBlue Airways Corp.'s vice president of corporate communications, said the airline believes the FAA can make the necessary cuts without furloughs. "We think arbitrary budget reductions are not the answer," she said. "We know they have a nut to crack, but we believe it can be done in a very smart way that does not impact the flying public."
The airline executive who declined to be named said, "I've told people in the administration and on the hill that I believe the FAA has flexibility, but nobody seems to want to talk about it."
The sequester requires the FAA to cut $637 million, or 5% of the $12.5 billion of its annual budget that is not exempt to the sequester. Because the cuts have to be made by the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30 instead of over a whole year, they are closer to 10% reductions.
The sequester requires agencies to cut 5% from each nonexempt program, so the FAA must find about $370 million savings in its $7.4 billion air-traffic budget. The industry is pushing the FAA to prevent some cuts to air-traffic control by using its authority to transfer some funds from other programs within its $9.7 billion operations budget. The FAA maintains it has examined all options and concluded it can't prevent furloughs.
The industry wants the FAA to use demand to better schedule furloughs, which "could include managing furloughs on an hourly basis, as opposed to by the day," said Airlines for America spokeswoman Jean Medina. For example, she said, the agency could shave an hour off some employees' work days or make some controllers work two half-days—though such scheduling could present big logistical challenges.
The FAA said it plans to exercise all available scheduling flexibility to try to minimize flight delays.
The spat over controller cutbacks echoes a debate playing out in other areas over the implementation of the sequester, with many Republicans arguing that agencies have more discretion than they acknowledge, and the Obama administration saying the law ties its hands.
Airlines and their trade group generally split donations between Democrats and Republicans in 2008 and 2010, but it sided with Republicans in 2012, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Airlines and Republican congressmen have pushed the FAA to look for savings elsewhere, including in outside contracts or travel, and point out the FAA budget has actually increased since 2008 while air traffic has dropped.
Miami's terminal radar approach control center, or Tracon, guides airplanes from high altitude into airport approach paths and then hands them over to airport control towers. Mr. Marinitti, the Miami Tracon controller, said furloughs are going to reduce the Miami Tracon staff during its busy shifts, to 14 controllers from 18, while two of those controllers will have to monitor three small airports that will likely lose their towers to cuts.
The ideal arrival rate into Miami International is 72 aircraft per hour. At peak periods or in bad weather, "our projection is that rate will probably be cut in half," Mr. Marinitti said.

Corrections & Amplifications
The sequester requires the FAA to cut $637 million of its annual budget that is not exempt to the sequester. An earlier version of this article cited an incorrect figure for required cuts of $627 million given by FAA Administrator Michael Huerta in congressional testimony.

There are so many things I like about Linux, and I would be a happy camper if only I could have a single-boot Linux PC. Unfortunately that is not possible!
Why? The commercial (=paid for) applications I'm using under Windows are not available on Linux !
Before you say "go and find an open-source freeware software, there are tens of thousands of applications available, sure there's one that fits you" - I've tried it. Again and again and again. And no, for what I want to do there are perhaps many Linux-based applications but none that is even remotely up to the task.
So why is it that so few software vendors dare to bring out Linux-based releases?
Here some possible reasons:
- Difficult to port Windows / Mac code to Linux - it has been done and there are many open-source applications available for Linux and Windows and/or Mac;
- Lack of Linux know-how/manpower - that's possible, but I doubt this is the reason;
- Supporting Linux users - this I believe is the main problem.
Support for Linux starts with the distribution support. With Windows it's quite easy: Win XP, Vista, and Win 7 would cover the vast majority of the desktop users, with Win XP going back 10 years or so. In Linux we would have Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Suse, at the very least. One could go on with Gentoo, Puppy, Arch, etc. I'm not even counting Linux Mint since it's either Ubuntu or (lately also) Debian based. So to be on the save side, a vendor would have to support the top 3 or 4 distributions, or perhaps Linux "flavors". One could compare that to the support effort for Windows in its different versions, only that Linux users make only a fraction of the Windows users (and thus increase the support costs).
But wait a minute - the analogy of different MS Windows versions to different Linux distributions is somewhat faulty. Different Windows versions could be better compared to different Linux releases of the same distribution. So if we take one distribution, for example Linux Mint, we can see that over a relatively short time (from 2006 until now, i.e. 6 years) it saw 12 major releases, with more or less dramatic changes underneath the hood (e.g. Gnome, Gnome2, Mate, Cinnamon, just to give an example). Other distributions produce releases at a similar pace.
Now let's just assume some software vendor has fallen in love with Linux and is willing to pay the extra cost for releasing his proprietary (closed-source) application for 3-4 major distributions. He then needs to cope with the ongoing changes and updates that are being produced, some of which may break his application. If a vendor runs into problems with modifications/updates brought by the open-source community, he will most likely be left on his own to fix the problem (he didn't create) or find workarounds.
There are legal issues, too. A vendor selling software to run on certain Linux distros has obligations towards the customers. This is quite different from open-source software which usually comes without any guarantee.
Let's make it short: there are very little incentives for software vendors to release Linux-versions of their Win or Mac applications.
This is a bad sign !
Linux has come a long way. Today's most popular Linux distros are desktop-oriented distributions such as Ubuntu or Linux Mint. These are user friendly systems that are in most situations easy to install. They also come with a wealth of applications that cover all the everyday tasks and much more.
However, like myself, I know enough people that require a Windows or Mac OS to do what they want or need to do, because Linux lacks support for closed source commercial software, or perhaps more correctly:
The Linux ecosystem does not attract software vendors to release their popular titles on Linux. This slows down the acceptance and growth of Linux.
I'm no software expert, so please feel free to comment and correct me where I missed the point. I do have some background in software and technology-related management.
Here is what I suggest:
Define a Linux SDK that includes everything to successfully port software to Linux. An example from the past is the Linux SDK for UPnP Devices (libupnp). It is hoped that different distribution developers would cooperate in creating a common SDK. Moreover, the distribution developers should agree to test their own releases and updates against these SDK specs and make sure they don't break anything. In other words: a standardization for installing and running closed-source applications on Linux.
Would that be practical? Would it work - technically speaking?
What do you think?

Voter turnout here among the highest
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana's voter turnout in this year's general election fell off this year when compared to 2008's level of 62 percent.
Indiana Secretary of State Connie Lawson said recently that 58 percent of Indiana's 4.5 million registered voters — about 2.7 million — cast ballots in the General Election. That matched the 58 percent turnout in 2004.
Lawson says Wells County in northeastern Indiana had the highest turnout in the state at 72 percent.
Adams County was close behind with a 70.84 turnout.
She says absentee ballots comprised 22 percent of the vote, compared with 24 percent in 2008.
Complete turnout and absentee vote date for each county is available online at http://bit.ly/U5hZOG .

Pompei Church priest goes from Venezuela to Downtown
Father John Massari. Downtown Express photo by Elisabeth Robert
By Albert Amateau
Father John Massari, who became the new priest in charge of Our Lady of Pompei Church in October replacing Father Joseph Cogo, recalls the first time he came to the Village from Italy as a young priest.
It was the same time the pope came to Yankee Stadium Paul VI in 1965, he said in an interview last week.
Father Cogo had tickets and took us there we had seats in the last row and when the pope came out, everybody stood up and started whistling. I was shocked and I thought these people must be crazy, because in Italy, whistling is like booing. But Father Cogo told us that here, whistling is like cheering and I was reassured, he said.
Culture shock must be an occupational hazard for priests in the Scalabrini order, which was founded to serve Italian emigrants, especially in the Americas. Now our focus has widened to serve emigrants from the Philippines, Brazil and Asia, said Father Massari.
His first visit to Our Lady of Pompei was brief. The next day I was off to Providence, R.I., he recalled. Since then, he has served several Scalabrini missions, the latest being in Caracas, Venezuela, where he ran a congregation of English-speaking Catholics for the past nine years.
We had expatriates from all over, Canadians, U.S. citizens, Africans from Nigeria, people from England. It was a very mobile community, so we didnt own a church building but used a rented chapel in a Jesuit college, Father Massari recalled.
Crime was a major problem in Caracas, he said. The house next to the one I lived in had a wall and on top of that, wire electrified wire and razor wire. It gives you some idea of the security problem, he said. And in recent years, the instability of the government and the unpopularity of the Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez, whom Massari characterized as a democratic dictator, affected everyone.
During a general strike from December 2002 to February 2003, the situation was so uncertain that foreign companies called home their employees and the English-speaking parish that Massari served dwindled to 17 all men.
He recalled that during the Aug. 15, 2004, referendum on Chavez, he saw voters lined up for as long as six hours waiting to vote. Chavez won approval by a margin of 1.5 million votes, but Massari said that many believed there was wholesale fraud. The next day the city looked like it was in mourning. The government planned a victory celebration but no one was celebrating, he said.
Nevertheless, he said, Venezuela is beautiful as well as richly endowed with oil and other natural resources. It has 3,000 species of orchids and the weather is wonderful, Father Massari said.
The Scalabrini missioners serve Italian emigrant communities in four cities in Venezuela as well as the English-speaking one in Caracas.
Father Massari was born in the Emilia region of Italy south of Milan in a working-class family. My father was a street cleaner, he noted. His interest in the Scalabrini order began when he was 10 years old.
A Scalabrini missioner came to our school and told us about a parish in Brazil where the priest rode all over on horseback, he recalled. It hit my imagination and I told my parents I wanted to be a missionary, he said. They asked me if I knew what I was in for, I said yes. I entered the seminary when I was in the sixth grade, he added.
Becoming a seminary student at such a young age is no longer possible, he acknowledged. While studying for the priesthood, he and a classmate visited England for a few months. That experience prompted him to ask for a posting to an English-speaking country after becoming a priest and he got Providence, R.I., as his first assignment.
I never thought I would ever live in New York, he said. I love New York as a tourist, but the thought of living here scared me.
Nevertheless, he welcomed the assignment to Our Lady of Pompei and spent a couple of months with Father Cogo learning about the parish and its challenges. Father Cogo is replacing Massari in Caracas.
The first challenge facing Father Massari is the repair of the church and school, a project estimated at $1 million to $2 million. We are in the process of fundraising and I hope that the generous people who love this church will be moved to join the restoration, he said. Its a beautiful church and I feel honored to be here, he declared.

STERLING – State Sen. Mike Jacobs, D-East Moline, nearly doubled his Republican opponent in fundraising in recent months.
But Bill Albracht, R-Moline, is catching up.
From July to September, Jacobs raised $216,115 to Albracht's $110,311, according to campaign finance reports filed with the state Board of Elections. Their 36th District includes much of Whiteside County.
Both candidates have received sizable donations after they filed their last reports.
In recent days, Albracht, a Vietnam veteran and a former Secret Service agent, got more than $175,000 from the Republican State Senate Campaign Committee.
Around the same time, Jacobs received a $41,670 in-kind contribution for "production and postage" from the Illinois Democratic Party. In recent weeks, the state party has sent at least five glossy mailers attacking Albracht on such issues as Medicaid.
From July to September, nearly a third of Jacobs' donations came from unions, including $17,000 from AFSCME, a public employees union.
Last week, AFSCME gave Jacobs an additional $20,000.
The senator also got $10,000 from Exelon, the parent company of ComEd, and $8,500 from Ameren, the electric utility for much of the southern half of the state.
Jacobs, whose father has been a lobbyist for ComEd, successfully sponsored a bill last year to increase the utilities' rates to pay for improvements to the power grid that would reduce the number of outages.
In an interview, Jacobs said Albracht didn't have much support beyond the Republican State Senate Campaign Committee.
"I work hard to raise my owns funds to keep myself independent," he said.
Jacobs said his contributions come from diverse sources.
"It's not every day that [unions] give money to the same person that the Illinois Chamber of Commerce gives to," Jacobs said. "They give to me because I'm a middle-of-road person."
He also received $1,000 from Caterpillar employees, a company that, he said, has been an "ardent critic of Democrats."
Albracht campaign spokesman Rachel Bold said Albracht didn't have time for an interview. She said her candidate is not a career politician.
Donations to Albracht's campaign "are from concerned citizens and not interest groups," Bold said.

Symphony Chorus concert set this afternoon
According to the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, Franz Schubert is "pre-eminent" among the composers of vocal music.
This book states this is "because his rich vein of melody and his expressive harmony reached the heart of the text in a way that music before him had not known."
Robert Phillips, president of the Starkville-MSU Symphony Association said It is certainly those qualities that have made the Schubert "Mass in G" a favorite with the Starkville-MSU Symphony Chorus.
The group first performed Franz Schubert's "Mass in G," accompanied by strings and organ, soon after the chorus was organized in 1972.
The Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, joined in both the orchestra and chorus by students from the local high, junior high, and middle schools, presented the Mass as a festival concert in 1986, this time under the direction of guest conductor Lara Hoggard, formerly the associate conductor of Fred Waring's Pennsylvanian.
And today at 3:30 p.m., the chorus will once again perform what has become Franz Schubert's more important religious work, the "Mass in G," accompanied by strings and organ.
Under the direction of Ted Beverly, the free performance will be held at First United Method.
"The rich, lyrical beauty of the music and the way that Schubert manages through melody and harmony to explore the meanings of the text of the mass can make the experience of hearing and performing his work magical," Phillips said.
Soloists will be soprano Rebecca Wascoe, tenor Wayne Davis, and bass Greg Wascoe, all faculty members in the Mississippi State music department.
"We are grateful that Ted Beverly has chosen to make the Schubert Mass a part of the 2010-2011 concert season. His dedication to the Symphony Chorus, his talent and his experience are assets the Symphony Association values a great deal."
Organist for the program will be Dr. Len Bobo.
Entering its 42nd season, the Starkville-MSU Symphony has the distinction of being the smallest continuous symphony orchestra in the nation.
All performances are free and open to the public.
The organization is funded by private, corporate and foundation gifts.

Whatever you do, don�t call Havelock�s second-round playoff game against Jacksonville a rematch.
Whatever you do, don�t call Havelock�s second-round playoff game against Jacksonville a rematch.
Sure, the Rams beat Jacksonville 42-14 in a Coastal 3A Conference game on Oct. 12, but Havelock coach Jim Bob Bryant said his team will be facing a far different Cardinals team in the second round of the playoffs at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Havelock High.
"They�re more efficient on offense than they were earlier in the year," Bryant said. "They�re the same on defense, which is very good."
Seventh-seeded Jacksonville (8-4) beat No. 2 Rocky Mount 27-14 in the first round last week, holding the Gryphons scoreless until the final two minutes of the game.
Meanwhile, quarterback Vincent Siders ran for 58 yards and two scores, and threw for 105 yards and another score.
Against Havelock on Oct. 12, Siders was intercepted twice as the Cardinals managed just two first downs and 133 total yards.
"I�m sure they�re going to tweak their offense and their defense a little bit as everybody does," Bryant said of the Cardinals. "We tweak ours from week to week depending on who we�re playing. They�ve got a really good coaching staff and some good players, so I think they will have a couple of little change-ups for us."
Bryant said the Rams would be prepared for the changes.
"We always practice for the what-ifs, what if they do this or what if they do that," Bryant said. "We always practice for those."
The Rams are coming off a 49-0 victory over Currituck in the first round. Havelock had just seven first downs but averaged 12.8 yards per play.
Havelock and Jacksonville have split 14 previous meetings. The Rams have won the last five times the teams have played.
"Playing the same team twice, it may be hard," Havelock linebacker and running back Taylor Woods said. "We have to have a good week of practice and do well on Friday."
Of note, the Rams are 8-4 all-time in games played during presidential election weeks, 4-1 when the Democrats take the White House and 4-3 when Republicans win.

Key Features
- Review Price: £548.00
The growing trend for supermarket chains to sell PC systems leaves customers looking at what appear to be high-value computers, but sometimes from companies they know little about. Medion is a German company selling through Tesco and its 6486 system is available at least until the end of September, through Tesco Homeplus stores and Tesco Direct.
The Medion 6486 system box is a typical tower, but with a smarter than average front panel that includes a LightScribe DVD rewriter and a separate player, as well as a multimedia panel which sits behind a push-to-open, vertically sliding door.
There's a wide array of sockets behind this door, including slots for all the popular memory card types, twin FireWire sockets, stereo audio inputs, plus composite and S-Video. This suggests the multimedia nature of the machine and indeed, it's a full Media Center system that positively encourages you to play around with audio, video and DVD.
At the back are more USB and FireWire sockets, two external SATA drive connectors and enough audio jacks for the 7.1-channel sound system. There's also a fully HDCP-compatible HDMI socket on the video card, so you can connect digital video displays directly. If you have legacy printers, scanners or other equipment that require either serial or parallel sockets, you won't find them on the back of this machine and will need by adapters.
A wireless keyboard and mouse is supplied with the system, but there's no monitor included in the price. The mouse is rechargeable from one of the USB sockets, though the keyboard works on regular alkaline batteries.
All the aspects of a machine we normally analyse in our reviews have been very well specified. The 6486 is based on a Core 2 Duo E6750 processor that runs at 2.66GHz and has 4MB of level 2 cache. This gives it a good turn of speed and the pre-installed copy of Windows Vista Home Premium is very responsive as a consequence. There's 2GB of main memory on board, too, so you can load quite a few sizeable applications and still not feel short of power.
With the ability to view and record television programmes from the combo analogue/Freeview DVB-T tuner, the 500GB SATA hard drive will give many hours of recording. If you want to place the system in a living room and have an Internet connection without the associated trailing wires, the inclusion of 802.11g wireless networking will be welcome as it provides direct connection to a wireless router in another part of the house.
Internally, there's one large cooling fan over the processor, turning slowly and very quietly whereas the support chipset on the system board is cooled by finned heatsinks alone. However, the NVIDIA GeForce 8500GT graphics card needs active cooling and has a smaller, faster and slightly noisier fan. Even so, the machine is easily quiet enough to use in a living room for DVD playback or TV viewing.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a group of inherited disorders. These disorders affect
the connective tissues. This type of tissue is found all over the body. There are at least 6 different varieties of EDS. They are classified by the type of tissue most affected and how it is inherited.
EDS is caused by a problem in the genetic material. It mainly affects the genes that create connective tissue.
Most types of EDS affect the production of collagen. Collagen is an important part of connective tissue. It gives the tissue strength and allows it to stretch.
Having family members with EDS increases your chance of EDS.
The symptoms of EDS can vary. Some may have mild symptoms. Others may have severe and life-changing symptoms.
The most common symptoms of EDS include problems with the joints and skin. Joints are loose and unstable which can lead to:

Skin is soft, fragile, and can stretch far too easily. This can lead to problems such as:
Other symptoms depend on the type of EDS you have. EDS can cause problems with
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. This is usually enough to diagnosis EDS in most people. When the diagnosis is uncertain, tests may include:
There is no known cure for EDS. Treatment may be needed to manage symptoms and or to try to prevent complications.
Treatment will depend on your type of EDS and how severe it is.
For complications of the skin:
For musculoskeletal complications:
Some potential problems will need to be monitored. This includes people at risk for blood vessel complications. Your doctor may ask for regular testing to examine major blood vessels.
Blood transfusions may be needed for severe bleeding.
Certain steps may help you reduce the chance of complications. The following may help you:
There is no known way to prevent EDS after a person is born. If you have EDS or have a family history of the disorder, consider genetic counseling when deciding to have children. The counselor can talk to you about the risk of your child having EDS.

With racers coming from all over the United States and as far away as Canada, a couple of emerging storylines involve head-to-head competition between drivers from the North and the South, as well as drivers from the East and the West.
These drivers will be racing for an overall points championship during the Legends Asphalt Nationals at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Oct. 26-27.In a match-up of North vs. South, the Young Lions division features a tie at the top of the standings entering next weekend's action. Ryan Shattuck of Islamorada, Fla. and Brandon DeBrakeleer from Mill Village, Pa. will square off on the quarter-mile "Thunder Ring," along with the nation's best Legends car drivers. The driver that finishes higher at the Legends Asphalt Nationals will be the overall points champion for the season.
The quarter-mile at Atlanta Motor Speedway should provide an excellent challenge for all competitors, with the "Thunder Ring" regarded as one of the nation's most demanding short-tracks. NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Casey Mears once drove a Legends car on the quarter-mile at AMS, and noted that all four corners are unique from one another, making it a challenging course for drivers of any skill level.
Another contest between opposite geographic locations involves the left and right sides of the United States. Pro division drivers Matt Pappa of Albany, N.Y. and Jason Irwin from Albuquerque, N.M. also enter the Nationals tied atop their standings. Like the Young Lions division, the highest finishing of these two Pro drivers will be crowned the overall points champion of the division for 2012.
Friday grandstand admission is $5 with kids seven and under admitted free. Friday grandstand admission can also be free to those who purchase a Saturday grandstand ticket. Gates will open Friday at 1:00 p.m. with practices, the Race of Champions for each Legends division and a Bandolero race. Saturday grandstand tickets are just $10 with kids seven and under admitted free. Saturday's action starts at 2:00 p.m. with the main races for each division, followed by the Championship A-Main feature race for each division.

Some Interesting News...
To help conserve energy, everyone is encouraged to replace one traditional light bulb with a compact fluorescent bulb on October 4 (next Wednesday), National Change A Light Day. If you feel motivated, you can even take the pledge.
I've been replacing our old-style light bulbs for a while. I think I've done all the lights in the house except those in the ceiling fixtures in the bedrooms.
The price of compact fluorescent bulbs makes it difficult to make the switch all at once. At Sam's Club, the bulbs are the cheapest I've seen -- about $13 for a pack of eight fluorescent bulbs with glass spirals (not the pear-shaped fluorescent bulbs.)
I can't say that I've seen a lot of reduction in our electric bill since I've been putting in fluorescent bulbs, but I hope it helps the nation's energy situation. Kentucky Living, the magazine we receive from our electric company, offers the following statistics in the September 2006 issue (print edition):
Organizers note that if every American household replaced one traditional light with an Energy Star-qualified compact fluorescent bulb, it would save enough energy to light 7 million homes, save $600 million in utility bills, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 1 million cars.
One last point of interest that's somewhat related: did you know that the German word for lightbulb --glühbirne -- means literally "glowing pear?"

The incredible little start-up concept's popularity has certainly skyrocketed in that short time. The concept's original investor goal on Kickstarter was $950,000 dollars. That goal turned out to be paltry in hindsight, as they shattered it in less than 24 hours. In just about a month, they have already hit almost 10 times that original goal. Their investor pledges are already up to $8,596,475! Additionally, during that time they have racked up a ton of great partnerships with some big players in the industry. Here's a quote with a recap of some of them, They also announced that when the device does go live in the future, it will be televised. Of course, this isn't surprising, and we would expect nothing less. As always, we will keep you in tune with any new developments. Source: KickStarter - OUYA

Who is Practice Builders?
Ans. In 1979, Practice Builders pioneered the field of professional practice marketing. Today, we are the largest private-practice healthcare marketing firm in the nation. Our success stems from the success of our clients, who are located in every state and in nearly every imaginable healthcare specialty and socio-economic environment.
Why should I choose Practice Builders?
Ans. Since 1979, Practice Builders has been helping practices like yours reach their growth and success goals. We focus on your specific areas of strength and show you how to promote them in the most effective ways-to attract and retain new patients, cultivate referrals and generate new revenue. Our experience is vast and deep because we have worked closely with over 15,000 healthcare practices.
How do I get started with Practice Builders?
Ans. You have several choices. You can attend one of our two-day Practice Success Workshops held in dozens of cities around the country. Or you can have us come directly to your practice for an onsite consultation. Or you can simply call us and tell us about your marketing needs and have us help you directly. In any case, you'll receive a written, customized marketing plan tailor-made to meet your objectives. Your plan will help you avoid the hit-or-miss tactics you may have used in the past.
What if I just need Practice Builders to help me with my marketing?
Ans. All you have to do is call us at 800.679.1262 and we'll be happy to assist you.
If you work within a group practice, have multiple practice owners or extensive experience in marketing, you may need an onsite consultation at your practice. We can provide an accelerated one-day session with you and your staff in the convenience of your office.
What if I'm uncomfortable with the idea of marketing my practice?
Ans. You're not alone. Practice marketing was illegal before 1979, and that legacy still shapes many doctors' attitudes. Plus, you may have seen other practitioners using tacky methods that reflect poorly on them – and their professions. Think of marketing as a way to attract and retain the patients you want, cultivate stronger referrals and generate increased revenue. Focus on those benefits.
Isn't marketing risky?
Ans. Done correctly, marketing can actually reduce your risk while enhancing your bottom line and your image. In fact, numerous studies suggest that it is much riskier not to market. Practice Builders takes the risk out of marketing with our exclusive program success guarantee.
Can marketing help my large group practice?
Ans. Absolutely. In fact, large group practices typically have to work harder to gain consumer attention. They are often subject to the laws of tough corporate competition. Keep in mind that it is important to involve all practice owners from the start. We also recommend designating a "marketing program champion" who can facilitate your decision-making efficiently. With multiple decision-makers involved, sometimes personal preferences win out over best strategies for the practice. So it is important to appoint one person to stay focused on your original practice objectives.
How do I select the right marketing firm?
Ans. If you're looking for quantifiable results and an enhanced reputation, then relevant experience and repeated successes are the most important criteria to consider.
What if I have multiple goals for my practice?
Ans. Many of our clients have more than one goal. We will address all of your goals with you. Based on our discussions, your goals will be included in your success plan. We have found that multiple goals are easier to achieve if you have the right plan in place to help you.
What if my partners and staff are resistant to marketing?
A. Most of the practitioners who resist marketing are the ones who equate it with advertising, which is a marketing subset. Advertising is only one part of a fully developed marketing plan. Others include branding, internal marketing, e-marketing, pricing and referral strategies. Once your partners and staff understand that marketing is about attracting the right patients, building referrals and generating revenue, they can put aside their concerns and embrace your program.
How can I market and treat patients at the same time?
A .With our programs, we do most of the work, including creation and implementation, for you. We understand that you are a healthcare practitioner first and a businessperson second. That's why you'll not only receive a written marketing plan, you'll also be advised on the best ways to execute it. We want you to succeed and can help you assemble the best resources to achieve your goals.
How do I know that marketing will work?
Ans. You don't. But if you follow Practice Builders' recommendations – based on proven results with over 15,000 healthcare practices – your chance for success will be greatly enhanced.
What services does Practice Builders offer?
Ans. We offer a wide range of services – traditional marketing, Internet marketing (e-media, social media, web design, development and hosting, SEO and PPC), staff customer service excellence and practice representative training and consulting.
Which healthcare specialties does Practice Builders work with?
Ans. We have worked with so many that it would be difficult to list them all. We have worked with virtually every medical subspecialty, all the dental subspecialties plus physical and occupational therapists, vision and hearing specialists and veterinarians.
Can you help a start-up practice with a small budget?
Ans. Yes. We create basic traditional and e-media start-up packages that can cost as little as $1,500 or less per month. All it takes is a free consultation to get you started.

I have a 95 trek 7000zx not the most spectacular bike of its time however for an 18 yr old kid it was nicer and more luxurious than the car I owned. Always took good care of her and now it's 2013 and I ride for my health every morning before work. Needed some other things but needed a new chain in order to get the other items. Chain is great for casual/ commuting. I suppose if you ride like I do getting up to top speed and trying to hold it for however long you ride for you should find this chain to be more than a fair deal.

Remember the thread is "open" so you can join in the discussion.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — European stocks finished higher Monday, with investors beginning to bargain hunt after last week's selloff, though worries about heightened tension between Ukraine and Russia kept the market's benchmark index in the red for much of the session.
The Stoxx Europe 600 index SXXP, -0.50% closed up 0.3% to 329.79, swinging to sustained gains after U.S. stocks opened higher following quarterly results from financial services firm Citigroup Inc. C, -2.85% and a U.S. March retail-sales report that each came in stronger than anticipated.
The Stoxx 600 last week dropped 3.1%, the first such decline since the week ended March 14. Stocks worldwide have recently been under pressure, largely stemming from valuation concerns in so-called momentum shares on Wall Street.
Mining shares in Europe moved up in European trading, guided higher as concerns about an intensifying conflict between Ukraine and Russia lifted metals prices, including those for gold which rose more than $8 an ounce. Randgold Resources Ltd. RRS, +2.95% topped the group with its climb of 3.6%, and platinum producer Lonmin PLC LMI, +3.24% rose 3.1%.
But stocks sagged throughout much of the session as pro-Russian activists in eastern Ukraine ignored a Kiev-issued deadline to disarm or face military force. Ukrainian forces were mobilized to move east, The Wall Street Journal reported, in an effort to keep Russia from extending its reach into the country. Ukraine's Interim President Oleksandr Turchynov, however, said he wasn't opposed to the activists' call for a nationwide referendum on regional autonomy. The European Union and the U.S. have threatened to issue more sanctions on Russia.
Russian stocks as tracked by the blue-chips MICEX index XX:MCX pulled back 1.3% to 1,344.86, and the RTS benchmark RU:RTS lost 2% to end at 1,179.97.
In country-specific indexes, Germany's DAX 30 DAX, -0.36% reversed course and closed up 0.3% at 9,339.17, and France's CAC 40 PX1, -0.30% ended higher by 0.4% at 4,384.56.
European stocks were slow to capitalize on signals the European Central Bank is open to considering asset purchases to keep long-term interest rates low. ECB executive board member Benoît Coeuré said Sunday if further monetary accommodation is needed, that "it is reasonable to consider other operations aimed at lowering the term premium." Coeuré's comments followed ECB President Mario Draghi's speech on Saturday, during which he warned again that a further rise in the euro could lead to additional monetary easing in a bid to keep inflation from falling too low.
"The message coming out from the meeting was that a cut in interest rates is likely at first, possibly into negative territory. Only after that would the ECB attempt a quantitative-easing program," said Marshall Gittler, head of global currency strategy at IronFX, in a note Monday. The euro EURUSD, +0.2283% fell against the U.S. dollar on the prospect of further easing measures.
In addition to inflation levels, the ECB is also watching economic growth, which has been sluggish in parts of the euro zone. Industrial production figures released by Eurostat on Monday showed output rose by 0.2% in February from January, a slight increase that met analyst expectations.
The U.K.'s FTSE 100 index UKX, +0.47% rose 0.3% to 6,583.76, but Glencore Xstrata PLC shares GLEN, -0.27% found support early in the session and finished up 2% following the company's $5.8 billion sale of Peruvian copper mine project to a Chinese consortium.
On the Stoxx 600, decliners included PSA Peugeot Citroën UG, -2.87% down 6.3% after the French car maker outlined cost reductions and other measures in an effort to return to profitability.
Also, GlaxoSmithKline PLC GSK, +2.23% with shares off 0.6% after a BBC "Panorama" report that the British drug maker is facing a criminal investigation in Poland for allegedly bribing doctors to promote the company's Seretide asthma medication. GSK said in a statement that it disciplined an employee in 2011 over "inappropriate communication" in its Polish program and that it continues to investigate as it cooperates with Poland's anticorruption bureau.
In other movers, Banca Popolare di Milano IT:PMI tumbled 8.5% after shareholders over the weekend rejected the board's governance-reform proposal.
Europe's equity-trading week will be shortened by the Good Friday holiday.

Reporters Fall For CIA Director Brennan's Non-Denial Denial Over Senate Spying Scandal
from the bad-reporters dept
Andrea Mitchell: First of all, the topic of the morning, which you have addressed here. You said that you want to get the interrogation and detention past practices behind you. But Senator Feinstein today went to the floor. She said she did this reluctantly, that she has been dealing with you privately trying to resolve this since January and only went public today because of events, because of the referral from the inspector general of the CIA to Justice because a lawyer in CIA had referred a crimes report separately accusing the Senate of going in improperly into CIA computers.First of all, note that he is the one who is describing it as "hacking into." But that's not at all what Feinstein alleged. In fact, she said she gave her speech, in part to dispel the claims in the media that the CIA had "hacked" into their computers. Instead, the issue was that the CIA had simply been looking into what the Senate staffers had access to and what they'd been doing with it -- and also that they'd been "deleting" files that those staffers had previously been given access to. The agreement between the CIA and the Senate Intelligence Committee had been that the CIA would not interfere with the investigation, and it seems quite clear that they did that.
Her claim in this scathing speech, frankly, was that the CIA has hacked into the Senate Intelligence Committee staff computers to thwart an investigation by the committee into those past practices. She also alleges that the Panetta-era report was very similar to the Senate's conclusions about those past practices, but that you were involved in that era in the program itself and that CIA currently was trying to thwart the full review of the harshness of the detention and interrogation practices. Can you respond to that?
John Brennan: Yes. Well, first of all, we are not in any way, shape or form trying to thwart this report's progression, release. As I said in my remarks, we want this behind us. We know that the committee has invested a lot of time, money and effort into this report, and I know that they're determined to put it forward.
We have engaged with them extensively over the last year. We have had officers sit down with them and go over their report and point out where we believe there are factual errors or errors in judgment or assessments. So we are not trying at all to prevent its release.
As far as the allegations of, you know, CIA hacking into, you know, Senate computers, nothing could be further from the truth. I mean we wouldn't do that. I mean that's just beyond the -- you know, the scope of reason in terms of what we would do.
But instead of responding to that claim, Brennan just says "well, we didn't hack their computers." He then went on, as he did last week, to imply that the Senate staffers themselves were somehow the problem here, and that the Justice Department may find they violated the law.
But, of course, the media isn't known for its ability to handle nuance, and many interpreted Brennan's non-denial denial exactly the way he intended them to interpret it: as a denial of what Feinstein claimed, even though he said nothing of the sort. First Look Media's Dan Froomkin looked at the way different media outlets covered the story, noting that Politico, the NY Times, Reuters and the Wall Street Journal all misleadingly claimed that Brennan denied Feinstein's allegations. The Associated Press and the LA Times, on the other hand, actually informed their readers of Brennan's word games. The AP stated: "He denied that the CIA 'hacked' into the computer network in remarks on Tuesday but did not address the question of a search" (though I've found other versions of the AP report that don't have that qualification, and instead suggest Brennan denied Feinstein's claims). The LA Times gave the most accurately worded description of Brennan's statements, noting that Brennan "offered carefully worded remarks that did not dispute the actions Feinstein said had taken place, but did deny that they constituted 'spying' on the Senate."
In looking at some other sources, I see the International Business Times actually took on the issue, directly asking whether or not Brennan denied Feinstein's claims and concluding that Brennan's "statements have been vague enough to avoid addressing specific accusations by Feinstein," and further pointing out that Feinstein never actually accused the CIA of hacking, so the response was clearly misleading. That article goes so far as to highlight that "Brennan's language, then, is somewhat troubling, as it doesn't address exactly what he and the CIA have been accused of...." Furthermore, that report notes that in a later interview, when asked directly about the CIA deleting files, "Brennan didn't comment on it directly, instead assuring that the matter is being dealt with." Kudos to the IB Times.
That's about the best I've seen from any of the larger "mainstream" news outlets. Time Magazine quotes Brennan out of context to imply that he's actually addressing Feinstein's allegations, rather than dancing around them -- and even worse, it did so in two separate articles. ABC News also pretends that Brennan denied Feinstein's claims even though he did not. The Boston Globe also claims Brennan's denial was about Feinstein's allegations, rather than Brennan's own made up "hacking" standard.
The Voice of America amazingly gets the story wrong on both ends. First, it claims that Feinstein said the CIA "hacked" the staffers' computers, when she explicitly stated it wasn't a hack. Second, it claims that Brennan said the CIA "did not improperly search lawmakers' computers" when he very carefully did not deny that particular claim.
All in all, if you're not following the story closely (i.e., reading the actual source materials), it appears that the vast majority of the mainstream press absolutely misled its readers in implying that Feinstein said the CIA hacked her staffers' computers and that Brennan then denied her allegations.

After losing to rival Northeastern Oklahoma A&M last season, the Crowder sophomores were looking forward to a shot at revenge when they played host to the Lady Norse at Bob Sneller Gymnasium on Saturday.
After losing to rival Northeastern Oklahoma A&M last season, the Crowder sophomores were looking forward to a shot at revenge when they played host to the Lady Norse at Bob Sneller Gymnasium on Saturday.
That revenge, however, will have to wait. After struggling to shoot the ball, and in rare form, the Lady 'Riders fell for just the second time this season, 59-55.
Perhaps fatigue began to set in after a pair of long road trips this week, but the Lady 'Riders, who weren't looking to make any excuses after the game, shot just 31-percent in the first half, followed by 34-percent in the second. Those struggles — coupled with a 54-percent clip from the free throw line, and 16-percent on 3-pointers — factored greatly in their demise. A slight increase in any of those categories likely wins the game.
"We really struggled offensively all day long," Crowder coach Tina Robbins said. "We've been shooting 75, 80-percent from the free throw line on the year. It was one of those days where we struggled from the floor offensively."
While the offense sputtered, defensively the Lady 'Riders played well. They kept themselves in the game until the very end.
After trailing 30-23 at the half, the Lady 'Riders came storming back to grab a 43-42 lead on a Camila Lacerda free throw with 7:00 remaining in the contest. They continued to stretch their impressive run and grew the lead to 48-42 on a free throw by Megan Ritter with 6:03 to go.
But a pair of clutch 3-pointers kept the Lady Norse in it as Eliana Fernandez buried treys with 5:03 and 3:11 left to each time pull NEO within two. Those shots proved crucial as Sofia Mendoza followed Fernandez's second three with a three-point play of her own to give the Lady Norse the lead back, 53-52, with 2:49 to play.
Terai Sadler scored on a lay up with 1:13 to left to tie it at 55, but Anna Clark scored under the basket with 49 seconds left to give NEO the lead for good.
"I don't think we played poorly defensively," Robbins said. "They're a good team and they (only) scored 59 points. I thought we did okay defensively, we just really struggled to put the ball in the hole on offense."
Veronica Amos scored 12 points while Sadler turned in 11 and Sarah Sagely 10. Caprese Marshall finished with seven points while Dorian Briggs and Ritter both added five, Lacerda four and Seleena Neal one. Chloe Nichols played, but did not score.
Amos led the team with 11 rebounds, Lacerda turned in seven assists, and Sadler and Amos had two steals.
DeVaughn Gray netted 17 points for the Lady Norse while Fernandez and Clark turned in 11.
The Lady 'Riders (10-2) travel to take on North Arkansas in Harrison, Ark., at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

COATS OF MANY COLORS: Schools handle uniforms in various ways
COLUMBIA CITY — There's more to outfitting a sports team than color selection.For area high schools acquiring sports uniforms their athletes need provides myriads of options.Some school districts, such as Smith-Green Community Schools (SGCS), make a formal contract with an athletic company.SGCS just signed a three-year uniform agreement with Adidas.Other districts do not enter into contracts in that sense and work with a variety of different companies.Whitko Athletic Director Casey Stouffer said a variety of companies work with the school to provide Wildcat apparel.Columbia City High School works with some national companies, but according to Athletic Director Geoff Penrod, making such a relationship exclusive would limit his coaches."We wouldn't want to limit our uniforms to just Nike, for example, because sometimes Nike couldn't give what the coaches wanted as far as price or look," he said.Uniforms provide varied expenses for districts. Penrod said as much as $15,000 could be spent in one year on uniforms, depending on needs. Other years, not as much is needed, as Whitko only bought track uniforms last school year.To read the rest of this story, see the Aug. 22 issue of The Post and Mail. Don't have a subscription?
