WASHINGTON (AP) — From Adolf Hitler down to the petty bureaucrats who staffed the Nazi death camps, thousands of perpetrators of World War II war crimes were eventually written up in vast reams of investigative files — files that now, for the first time, can be viewed in their entirety by the public.
The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington has obtained a full copy of the U.N. War Crimes Commission archive that has largely been locked away for the past 70 years under restricted access at the United Nations. On Thursday, the museum announced it has made the entire digital archive freely available to visitors in its research room.
Although information in the documents has long been known to investigators and historians, the public was kept out. Even researchers at the U.N. must petition for access through their governments.
Many of those named in the archive were never held accountable.
In addition to the allegations of mass murder against Hitler and his high-level henchmen, the files list thousands of obscure but no less horrendous cases from across Europe and Asia. There is Franz Angerer, a member of the Gestapo, accused of rounding up inmates in Sosnowiec, Poland, to send to Auschwitz.
Helmut Steinmetz in Warsaw, Poland, was accused of murdering a crippled Jewish man he met on the street, as well as killing a railroad porter with a stick for refusing to carry his luggage.
And Elimar Luder Precht, who served as chief dentist at several concentration camps, was accused of selecting Auschwitz inmates for execution based on whether they had gold or platinum teeth that could be forcibly taken.
The vast collection includes about 500,000 digitized microfilm images with more than 10,000 case files in multiple languages from Europe and Asia on people identified as war criminals. There are also meeting minutes, trial transcripts and 37,000 names listed in a central registry of war criminals and suspects. Some files have lists of personnel at concentration camps, including Auschwitz and Ravensbruck.
While some case files are brief, others are more extensive collections of charging documents, witness statements, correspondence and commission reports. The evidence was submitted by 17 member nations for evaluation to try to assure that war criminals would be arrested and tried, but the war crimes commission was shut down in 1948.
Paul Shapiro, director of the museum's Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, noted that Cold War politics prevented many war crimes suspects from being prosecuted.
"Most Holocaust perpetrators were never held accountable before the law," he said. "Many of them were recruited by various governments for work during the Cold War. I don't want to say only by Western governments, because Soviets also recruited scientists and others."
Making the records public fosters a degree of belated accountability, he said.
"By enabling people today to study and educate based on records like those of the U.N. War Crimes Commission, we can at least hold those people who committed such atrocities ... to account before history," Shapiro said. "They're not alive anymore, but what they did shouldn't be forgotten. We need to learn from what happened in that era."
For decades, the archive was largely forgotten. In 1987, researchers and historians were granted limited access, but names of witnesses and suspects not convicted of war crimes were kept off limits. Prosecutors and historians with the U.S. Justice Department's Nazi-hunting unit have used the archive for investigations, as have others in an on-and-off effort to hold Holocaust perpetrators accountable.
The Associated Press reviewed some of the newly accessible records, including a few with links to modern-day denials of responsibility for the Holocaust.
They include charges of mass killings by former Hungarian autocrat Miklos Horthy, who today is being memorialized with statues in Hungary amid rising anti-Semitism.
Horthy, the longtime Hungarian leader, was cited as a head of state in a charging document for leading an unprovoked attack against Yugoslavia in 1941 while Hungary was allied with the Nazis, leading to "massacres, murders and torture." The charging document from Yugoslavia says Horthy was specifically notified of atrocities by a Hungarian lawmaker in 1942, but the incidents continued.
"The Hungarian authorities at once began to send masses of the Serbian population and Jews to concentration camps," according to the account. "In April 1944, Jews from this region of Yugoslavia were rounded up and handed over to the German Gestapo and SS troops. The great majority of these Jews died or were killed at the death camps."
A separate, more extensive charge file from Yugoslavia accused Hungarian leaders of massacring Serbians and Jews in Novi-Sad and other areas of the Balkans. In the Novi-Sad case in January 1942, the document described how a committee of Hungarians and Germans drew up lists to decide which Serbians and Jews should be killed. Those sentenced to death were lined up in groups of 100 to 150 people along the Danube River, stripped of their clothes in cold temperatures and executed with rifles or bayonets.
"Among the victims were a great number of children, even babies, whose mothers held them firmly to their breasts in the hope of protecting them from death and from the cold," the charging document stated. "It was a scene of horror, ringing with the screams of the mothers and the victims."
Museum officials said the Hungarian files demonstrate the widespread nature of the Holocaust.
"There is this normal reflex of an average human being who knows something about the Holocaust to think immediately about Germany and about death camps from occupied Poland ... when in fact this was a European-wide slaughter in which many, many administrations participated," said Radu Ioanid, director of the museum's international archival program that is working to build the most comprehensive collection of Holocaust perpetrator records.
Associated Press investigative researcher Randy Herschaft contributed to this report.

Metallica To Make Big Announcement February 7
Metallica are tantalizing fans with a new video clip that promises a big announcement from the band this coming Tuesday, Feb. 7, at 11AM PT. What can it be? Another collaborative album with Lou Reed? We don't think so! Whatever it is, it seems to be geared toward a big concert announcement.
The 34-second 'Save the Date' video clip shows a crowd cheering at a rock concert followed by the words "You've seen them at festivals across the world." We then see the names of just about every big music festival around, followed by the cryptic phrase "But you've never seen them…"
It should be noted that at the end of Metallica's fourth and final 30th anniversary gig in San Francisco in December, drummer Lars Ulrich took the mic and made the following announcement: "Put a big f—in' pair of red 'X's' in the calendar for June 23 and 24 on the East Coast of America, because you know what where gonna do, baby, we're gonna take this thing f—in' into a big ass f—in' place.'
Looks like it could be a Metallica-headlined monster rock festival! What do you think? Stay tuned for the big announcement on Feb. 7. In the meantime, watch the teaser clip below.

Hosting a company or charity golf tournament? Remember: Gifts and prizes are key to golf events, and in fact, are the reason many people play in events and return again the following year. However, experts say it's important not to skimp on promotional items and giveaways.
Here are four popular areas for gift-giving:
In addition to the gifts above, you'll also need contest prizes for Longest Drive, Closest to the Pin and Hole-in-One. Items to consider for these contests include a branded bicycle and a messenger bag.
No matter the use, be sure all items have high perceived value to match the exclusive feel of the tournaments. Also, consider non-golf items like can coolers, tumblers, stainless-steel bottles, sunglasses, sun screen, folding chairs, umbrellas, sport packs and even tech products. With the amount of time spent on the golf course – minimum four hours – attendees will appreciate power banks for their cellphones.

Orlando Magic hire Scott Perry, Matt Lloyd as assistant general managersPosted by Inside Hoops
Jun 29
The Orlando Magic have named Scott Perry vice president/assistant general manager and Matt Lloyd assistant general manager, General Manager Rob Hennigan announced today.
Perry has served as vice president of basketball operations of the Detroit Pistons for the last four years. Lloyd spent 13 seasons with the Chicago Bulls, the last five as the team's director of college scouting.
"We are ecstatic to add Scott (Perry) and Matt (Lloyd) to our Orlando Magic family," Hennigan said. "Scott and Matt bring multi-dimensional skillsets to our front office, and they both will have tremendous input in how we shape this organization going forward."
With Detroit, Perry was responsible for directing day-to-day operations of the basketball operations department, handling player personnel issues and assisting in roster development.
Perry's professional career began during the summer of 2000, joining the Pistons as a college scout. He was then promoted to director of player personnel in June of 2002, a position he held for five years. Detroit captured the NBA World Championship in 2004. In 2007-08, Perry served as assistant general manager for the Seattle Supersonics.
Prior to joining the Pistons, Perry spent three seasons as head coach at Eastern Kentucky University from 1997-2000. He also spent nine seasons as an assistant coach with the University of Michigan, University of California and Detroit Mercy.
Perry graduated from Wayne State in 1986 with a bachelor's degree in marketing. He was a captain and all-conference basketball player his senior year. Recruited to play at the University of Oregon by former NBA coach Jim O'Brien and NBA executive Stu Jackson, Perry spent his freshman year with the Ducks prior to transferring.
Perry's father, Lowell, was the first black assistant coach in the NFL, hired by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1957.
As director of college scouting for Chicago, Lloyd oversaw the scouting and information compilation of prospects for the NBA Draft, along with statistical analysis of pro and amateur players. He implemented and maintained a database which organized scouting information.
Lloyd began with the Bulls in 1994 as a game-day and special projects employee in the video room. He joined the team full-time in 1999 and was the team's media services coordinator for four seasons. Lloyd then joined the basketball operations department in 2003, and served as senior manager of basketball operations/scout for four seasons.
In addition, Lloyd also worked as a game-day employee with the Chicago White Sox in their video department for five years.
Prior to joining the Bulls full-time, Lloyd spent one year (1998-99) as the assistant director of information services for Conference USA, and a year-and-a-half (1997-98) as director of media services for the Arena Football League. He also completed an internship at ESPN during his senior year of college.
Lloyd graduated from the University of Illinois-Chicago with a bachelor's degree in communications in 1996, where he worked for three years in the athletic department.

And then I won.
So here I am, like the occasional Oscar winner who doesn't write a speech because there's just no way in heckapalooza they could win, and then they do, and they speak extemporaneously and bizarrely, and everyone then thinks, "Wow, that person is a bird brain!"
Here, after the fact, is my extemporaneous acceptance speech upon winning the Last Drink Bird Head award in the category of "Expanding Our Vocabulary":
Oh wow. Gosh. Wow. Okay. So, uh, yikes, you know, I didn't actually, ummm, think I'd like, uh, win? The award? But here I am, so, uhhhhh, yeah! Wow! Man, these things are heavier than they look! Oh, so I should, ummm, there are -- there are people I have to thank! Right! I couldn't be here today without, of course, my parents, who made me, and ummmm, right -- and I have a dog! No, I don't have a dog. I don't even really like dogs. I've been thinking about getting another cat, because my old cats died and-- Wait, the red light's going on, that means I have to, like, wrap it up, right? But there are so many people to thank without whom I couldn't be here today! The person who invented the Internet for instance -- whoever you are -- thank you! And and and -- oh, the music, that means------ [MUSIC RISES]When the awards were handed out, I was actually up in northern New Hampshire and Vermont with Eric Schaller, Mr. Last Drink Bird Head himself (for the whole story, you have to read the book). Little did we know that we were celebrating!
Thank you to the mysterious cabal of advisors to the award; I am really and honestly grateful -- amazed! -- that the various work I've done has found an appreciative audience.

David "Dave" Grossman is a minor character in The Lost and Damned, the first episodic pack for Grand Theft Auto IV. He is first introduced to Johnny Klebitz in the opening cutscene of the mission It's War.
Dave is a lawyer who in his spare time is a prospect in The Lost Brotherhood. In the mission It's War, he and Billy are hanging out in the Lost MC Clubhouse. Billy spikes his bong hit with mescaline, sending him on a high in which, Billy states, "could be trippin for days."
Later in the game, Johnny can find Dave outside of Goldberg, Ligner & Shyster as a random character, business suit clad. When you arrive at Dave's location, he'll tell you that his secretary is blackmailing him and accusing him of sexual harassment. Supposedly, Dave looked at her breasts which "suppressed" her. She's currently in leagues with an attorney and they're going to bring the case to trial. Dave informs you that his wife isn't a nice person and will ruin his life if she gets wind of these shenanigans. He wants you to go and put some pressure on the secretary's attorney in the hopes of making him cease the case against Dave.
Once in control, go towards the lawyer's location. He'll catch on that he's being pursued and take off. Chase him down and fire some rounds into his car. Eventually, he'll give up and you're told to speak with him. Johnny informs this lawyer that the only good one in his book is a dead one, and the guy will be a really good lawyer if he doesn't give up the case. He'll agree and speed off, with the mission ending successfully (including a $500 reward).
Mission appearances
- The Lost and Damned
- Grossman owns a FLEECA card, and offers it to Johnny Klebitz in exchange for some help, which Johnny declines.
- Grossman and Billy Grey are the only two members of The Lost seen not wearing their cut at points. (Gang clothing with patch).
- A glitch occurs if you arrive at Dave's random encounter riding anything but the Hexer; no matter what bike you've driven, after the cutscene it changes to a Hexer.

Alfalfa's Market is back for another go.
On Friday, a rebooted version of the Boulder-grown brand -- an entity renowned as a trendsetter in the natural grocery business -- will open its doors at 1651 Broadway to the public.
"There's a lot of expectations and anticipation for what Alfalfa's is going to be ... in the 21st century," said Mark Retzloff, a co-founder of both iterations of Alfalfa's.
The new Alfalfa's Market comes on scene nearly 28 years after the first market to bear the same name opened in the same location. The first Alfalfa's was an expanded version of the then-flourishing Pearl Street Market and the continued popularity of the grocery off Broadway set the stage for a multi-store, multimillion-dollar chain that eventually was acquired by Boulder's Wild Oats Markets.
Industry consolidation led to Alfalfa's departure and, ironically enough, brought about its resurrection.
In the aftermath of Whole Foods Market's much-contested acquisition of Wild Oats in 2007, the Federal Trade Commission ordered the Austin, Texas-based grocer to sell a couple dozen locations and some of Wild Oats' intellectual property to ease anti-competitive concerns. When 1651 Broadway and the trade name, logo and brand for Alfalfa's were put on the block, Retzloff's interest was piqued, but he remained reticent.
He and colleague Barney Feinblum, who at one time headed up the Retzloff-founded Horizon Organic Dairy, are both in their early 60s and they wondered whether they were up to starting a new venture.
"When it all got said and done, it's our hometown," Retzloff said.
So they pulled together a founding team that included two natural grocery veterans in Hugo van Seenus and Jimmy Searcy, cobbled together a management team that included a number of the original Alfalfa's employees and brought together a group of mostly local investors to bring the brand to life.
Alfalfa's redux
Eileen Conway, a Boulder resident since 1979, has marked April 22 on her calendar and plans to pop into Alfalfa's for its Earth Day grand opening.
She might even bring along her canvas bag she got at the original Alfalfa's
"I'm just really excited about the reincarnation," she said. "It was a wonderful store back then, but I bet it will be even better" in the 21st century.
In the mid-80s, Conway was a frequent shopper of King Soopers when she tried out Alfalfa's. Within a pretty short while, she ended up sticking with the locally bred grocer.
What got her hooked was the way Alfalfa's presented its selection of natural offerings, she said. Most of the other stores that sold natural items at that time seemed to resemble "60s health food" shops and cater to a certain clientele, she said.
"(Alfalfa's) came up with a modern market that made itself even better by focusing on natural and organic, which was really cool," said Conway, 57, who classifies herself as a longtime lover of cooking and eating healthy and shares her experiences in her What's Cooking Boulder blog (whatscookingboulder.blogspot.com).
When Conway and others arrive on Friday, they'll be greeted by some familiarity in the next-generation Alfalfa's. Although boasting numerous new additions, the layout generally remained the same. Also, a number of the former employees are back -- including Paul Gingerich, the director of meat and seafood, who helped Alfalfa's become one of the first natural grocers to carry meat.
However, the new Alfalfa's is its own animal.
Officials increased the retail square footage of the store by 3,800 square feet to 20,000 square feet -- almost twice the size of the original Alfalfa's. The main entrance is below an archway made mostly from reclaimed Colorado beetle kill pine and faces to the west.
Tucked inside is an in-store wine, spirits and beer shop, the first grocery-operated wine and spirits store in Boulder, because of a Colorado law that limits liquor licenses to one store per company in the state.
Other features include: Electric car plug-ins, potentially a valet, an array of Super Fustinox stainless steel dispensers for bulk oils, sauces and vinegars; an in-house pasta maker; smokers and meat lockers to age and cure meat and make fresh bacon; an Asian food department run by the operators of Sushi Zanmai; and a wood-fired brick oven.
The store will also include an expanded café with a large, stone fireplace; a brew-to-order Trifecta coffee machine; alternating cereal and soup bar; raw foods section; and a 4-foot "Boulder Innovation Section" that features a rotating assortment of new locally developed products.
"We're one store, (so we can attract) smaller producers that larger chains can't bring in because they don't have enough volume," said Sonja Tuitele, an Alfalfa's spokeswoman.
Alfalfa's primary focus will be on organic products -- the store will carry only organic milk -- and locally produced items and being a "gatekeeper" for standards including striving to carry non-GMO (genetically modified organism) items, Retzloff said.
The idea is to carry items and create an environment that resonates with a community named the "Foodiest Town" in America, he said, making note of quotes on the wall from James Beard, Julia Child and others and blank panels that will feature photos of local farmers including Lyle Davis, who co-founded the Pearl Street Market with Retzloff and Hass Hassan.
Part of those efforts includes having a selection of 100 "value products" -- the majority being staple foods -- priced competitively to attract customers of all means, he said. Separately, the store plans to have offer discounts to seniors on Tuesdays, he added.
"This is not an exclusive type of store," Retzloff added. "It's really a community-based store."
Where the cheese is dairy-free
Community was the bread and butter of the original Alfalfa's, said co-founder Hassan, who has served on Whole Foods' board since 2005 and is not involved with the current Alfalfa's Market.
"For a lot of people, (Alfalfa's) wasn't just a cool food store," he said. "It was a community center that Boulder kind of grew up around."
It was a place where people would meet their future spouses, and was pivotal in community-building efforts such as dog washes to support the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, pancake breakfasts to benefit Community Food Share and assisting efforts such as the protection of open space, he said.
The Alfalfa's name seemed to embody some of that spirit, Hassan said.
The name came about after a quintupling of the sales at the Pearl Street Market, founded in 1979 at 1825 Pearl St., forced the hands of Hassan and others to look at expansion. A discussion by the city to make Pearl Street a one-way street from 28th Street to Broadway and Arapahoe Avenue one-way in the opposite direction from Broadway to 28th, led the grocers to land at 1651 Broadway.
The Pearl Street name wouldn't make sense there, and Alfalfa's -- its food reference, a call-back to Americana heritage with the "Our Gang" character and it landing first in the phone book -- came out on top.
Only a few years later did Hassan and the others discover that alfalfa means "the father of all foods" in Arabic.
Hassan lauded Alfalfa's for its creative approaches in store amenities -- such as including a juice bar -- store design and customer service.
1979: Mark Retzloff and friends S.M. "Hass" Hassan and Lyle Davis open the Pearl Street Market at 1825 Pearl St.
1983: The Pearl Street Market's success force the trio to expand to another location. They move the market to 1651 Broadway and call it Alfalfa's.
1991: Alfalfa's company shareholders reject a buyout offer from Whole Foods Market. The Austin, Texas-based natural foods company had made two previous offers for Alfalfa's.
1996: Wild Oats Markets mergers with Alfalfa's Market. Alfalfa's has 11 stores in operation and Wild Oats has 21 at the time. Wild Oats becomes the second-largest natural grocery chain behind Whole Foods. Wild Oats raises $42 million in an initial public offering.
1998: Whole Foods opens its first Colorado store, at 2905 Pearl St. in Boulder.
2007: Whole Foods announces a deal to buy Wild Oats for $671 million, which included Wild Oats' debt. Nearly four months after the deal is announced, the Federal Trade Commission files a lawsuit in federal court seeking to block the acquisition on the grounds it would stifle competition and result in higher prices. A federal judge rules in favor of the grocers' combination.
2009: After the FTC continues to fight the merger through an appeals court petition and the opening of its own administrative case, the agency reaches a settlement with Whole Foods that calls for Whole Foods to sell 31 Wild Oats stores and one Whole Foods location. Two of the former Wild Oats stores are in Boulder -- at 1651 Broadway and 2584 Baseline Road. Retzloff and Barney Feinblum are among the bidders for the Broadway store.
2010: The FTC gives the go-ahead to Retzloff and Feinblum's A-M Holdings to buy the lease for the 1651 Broadway store and the rights to Alfalfa's intellectual property.
April 22, 2011: Alfalfa's Market is scheduled to open at 1651 Broadway.

"We weren't the best at making money; we weren't the biggest; we weren't the most profitable," he said. "But I think we, in our store design and customer service, I think we did better than a lot of other people."
A lot of Alfalfa's efforts "are the norm now," Hassan said, noting the approaches taken by both natural and conventional grocers.
However, Hassan isn't quite sure yet how he feels about a company with the brand he helped to build opening in a location he helped to create.
"I don't really know. I think I feel fine about it. I think it'll be another option for Boulder," he said. "... (Alfalfa's new founders) are not going to do it half-assed. They're gonna put everything they have into it."
The mass expansion of the natural foods industry gives Vince Herman, the frontman for Boulder-bred band Leftover Salmon, a really big chuckle.
In early 1992, Herman and crew were scheduled to visit the famed Studio C of longtime Boulder radio station KBCO. Herman, who "kind of like(s) to improvise ... a lot," was thinking of singing about something that would epitomize Boulder.
"There couldn't be anything more quintessential Boulder than Alfalfa's it seemed," he said.
The novelty song "Alfalfa's" was born on March 5 of that year and for a long time became one of the most-requested Studio C songs on the station, said Scott Arbough, KBCO's program director.
References to soy milk, wheat grass, mountain bikes and solar-powered growing lights wrapped around a catchy chorus of "When I grow up, I wanna work at Alfalfa's, where the cheese is dairy-free. A Birkenstocks, Spandex, necktie, patchouli grocery store. I'd have a job picking through the produce -- no pesticides for me. I'd be working modern income socially conscious Boulder hippie."
In a call with the Camera last week, Herman made note of his lyric about people in Des Moines and Detroit probably singing the song in the future. Alfalfa's helped lead the way for the expansion of natural foods, he said.
"I think it's pretty cool to have been in Boulder and watch this evolve over the years," he said.
Competing for that dollar
The new Alfalfa's will open to a heavily competitive marketplace that includes three Whole Foods stores -- including one in the process of a major remodel and expansion to 66,000 square feet -- a Sunflower Farmers Market, a Sprouts Farmers Market, and stores such as King Soopers and Safeway that feature expanded natural and organic sections after recent overhauls.
Whole Foods' Pearl Street store -- a location opened just after Wild Oats' acquisition of Alfalfa's -- is about 90 days away from a major remodel and expansion that brings the 28th and Pearl market to 66,000 square feet, said Ben Friedland, a Whole Foods spokesman.
The first phase of the remodel, which includes an expansion and the creation of various food venues and additional seating, has been extremely successful, he said.
"We're actually seeing customers come back multiple times in a single day," he said. "... That was the goal, to offer them something for all different shopping experiences."
Another goal was a greater focus on competitive pricing, he said. The economic downturn and current consumer pressures -- such as rising gas prices -- has forced Whole Foods to drop prices on thousands of products, he said.
The addition of another natural grocery in Boulder should only benefit the consumer, Friedland said.
"That store is in an awesome location," he said of Alfalfa's. "... At the end of the day, the Boulder consumer wins. They've got more selection. They've got more variety. They've got more options."
Time will tell whether Alfalfa's will be successful, but the company does have some significant winds at its back, said Meg Major, editor in chief of Progressive Grocer magazine in New York.
The seasoned executive team and the "captive audience" of the Boulder market could bode well for the newcomer, she said.
At the same token, many other variables that could present themselves include the economic recovery; consumers' perception of what they feel is valuable; and discretionary spending levels, she said.
In responses to Progressive Grocer's annual survey, supermarket executives across all walks were practically unanimous in that discretionary or impulse purchases remain elusive, she said.
"People are wanting to experiment and are doing it on a case-by-case basis," she said. "It's usually one or another (item), but it's not a $20 worth of extras."

A severe drought this year may be the only way California can begin to mitigate a protracted, devastating water crisis.
It has been 30 years since a new water project was completed in California. Thirty years ago California's population was 20 million. Today it is 37 million.
For years, inept politicians have failed to resolve the water issues that will eventually bring California's economy to it knees. This may be the year of the kneepads and, finally, a framework to develop more water supplies for the state that could reach 50 million people by 2025.
Agriculture has long had a dog in the California water wars, but no one listens to the people who feed and clothe a nation and world. This year, cities and counties likely will enter the fray because there is a real likelihood cities could run out of water. Already, municipal water suppliers are putting out the word; they are buying water to get through what will most certainly be a water-short spring, summer and fall. Before, there have been willing sellers. If the Delta smelt minnow shuts down the giant pumps moving water through the Delta to 25 million Californians, there may not be any water to sell at any price. Water experts are predicting water deliveries from the Delta will be cut by 30 percent, regardless of how much water is available to move through the Delta from Northern to Southern California.
When all that comes out of the home faucets and water hydrants this summer is air in Orange County, Oakland, San Jose and other population centers, the water crisis gridlock may finally be broken.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger proposed a comprehensive water bond measure last fall, but he and lawmakers have failed to broker a deal. Frustrated with the inaction, the California Chamber of Commerce recently announced an effort to launch its own water bond ballot initiatives.
The chamber is circulating four versions of an $11.7 billion bond initiative. It would include dams, as well as systems to divert water around and through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. This is a resurrection of the Peripheral Canal, a controversial proposal that was defeated by voters in a contentious 1982 ballot initiative.
The chamber initiative may provide the only tools for a reasonably quick solution at the polls to the crisis. The solution will not come from the California legislature. The initiative process may once again be the way to move the state forward.
The business-backed Chamber measure is similar to a Republican-backed plan that places an emphasis on dams. The Democratic proposal focuses on groundwater storage and conservation.
It will take all three — dams, groundwater storage and conservation to provide a reliable water supply for California's future.
Fixing the Delta should be priority No. 1. When the Peripheral Canal was on the ballot almost 25 years ago, it was a water conveyance issue. Today the Delta fix is much more critical with the need to repair fragile levees as well as restore the ecological health of the Delta.
The looming water crisis for cities also may bring another benefit to California's long-standing problem of environmental obstructionism. Small, loud groups like Friends of the River and Environmental Defense have contributed to the lack of solutions to the water crisis by challenging anything and everything anyone proposes. Urbanites have tolerated them, but when the water runs out, some of these environmental groups may find a less than friendly urban audience.
"Take a hike" has a nice ring to it.
No one wants a crisis to generate a solution, but it may be the only way out of the state's political morass.

In the latest sign that Wall Street's love affair with Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is fading, Citigroup (NYSE:C) downgraded the consumer-electronics heavyweight to "neutral" late Sunday amid concerns about demand for the iPhone 5.
Continue Reading Below
Pointing to rising competition on the smartphone front from the likes of Samsung, Citi analyst Glen Yueng removed his "buy" rating on Apple and slashed his price target by a hefty $100 to $575.
"Near-term supply chain order cuts, while inconclusive in nature, bring into question the strength of iPhone5 and refocus investors onto risks in the Apple story," Yueng wrote in a note to clients.
The downgrade comes as Apple has stumbled of late, underscored by its stock price plunging 28% since hitting record highs of $705 in September.
Last week analysts at UBS (NYSE:UBS) kept their "buy" rating on Apple but lowered their price target to $700 from $780.
Also over the weekend, Apple revealed it sold more than 2 million iPhone 5 devices in China over the first three days the product was available there. Apple said it was the company's best first weekend sales ever in China.
While Citi said there are signs Apple's stock price is nearing a trough, Yueng said: "We expect shares to remain range-bound for the foreseeable future."
Citi expressed concern about the iPhone 5, saying checks with suppliers indicate Apple has cut its orders, perhaps pointing to a combination of supply and demand issues.
"We suspect competition is improving, diminishing the hype around the iPhone 5," Yueng said. He also pointed to a Citi survey that shows "leading indicators of Apple's competitive advantage in smartphones diminishing."
Citi noted that "continued strength" for the iPad Mini comes "at the expense of" the iPad 4. Citi expects iPad Mini production to rise to 12 million to 14 million units in the March quarter, while iPad 4 production is projected to tumble to 5 million to 7 million units.
"More broadly, we view tablet innovation as increasingly difficult, opening room for alternative solutions to iPad and creating risk of further market share loss," Yueng said.
Shares of Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple dipped 0.25% to $508.50 in premarket trading on Monday. Despite its recent stumbles, Apple remains up 26% so far this year and 34% over the past 12 months.

NEW YORK (AP) — The pay of Wal-Mart Stores Inc.'s outgoing CEO fell 73 percent in 2013 because he received a lower performance-based bonus and he didn't get stock awards that are given in anticipation of future performance.
The world's largest retailer gave Duke, 64, a compensation package worth about $5.6 million, down from $20.7 million in the prior year, according to an Associated Press analysis of a regulatory filing Wednesday. The fiscal year ended Jan. 31 and Duke was replaced by Doug McMillon, head of Wal-Mart's international division, on Feb. 1.
McMillon received $25.6 million in pay for 2013.
Separately, Wal-Mart said former CEO Lee Scott won't stand for reelection to Wal-Mart's board at the company's annual shareholders meeting on June 6. The company said Scott's departure from the board is in line with other CEOs leaving. Chris Williams will also not stand for reelection after 10 years, per Walmart's corporate governance guidelines.
Wal-Mart Stores is facing difficulties on a number of fronts. The Bentonville, Ark.-based company's low-income shoppers in the U.S. are struggling with stagnant wages and rising costs. At the same time, Wal-Mart faces fierce competition from online competitors and dollar chains that offer convenience and lower prices.
The company also has image problems. Wal-Mart is being pressured to further increase its oversight of factory conditions abroad following a building collapse in a year ago in Bangladesh that killed more than 1,100 garment workers. And it faces criticism that it pays its hourly workers too little.
Duke, who had been CEO since 2009, received a base salary of $1.4 million and a performance based bonus of $2.8 million, down 35 percent from a year ago.
He did not receive any stock awards, compared with a hefty grant of $13.6 million in the prior year. The company said it generally gives equity awards to executive officers in January as part of their compensation for the upcoming year. Duke did not receive any as he retired.
Other compensation totaled $490,090, including retirement contributions and $144,586 for personal use of company aircraft.
For the year ended Jan. 31, Wal-Mart's net income after paying preferred dividends fell 6 percent to $16.02 billion. Revenue rose 2 percent to $476.29 billion.
The year included a key holiday quarter hurt by severe weather and slow spending. And the expiration of a temporary boost the government's food stamp program hurt Wal-Mart's grocery business.
Wal-Mart's results give insight into shopper behavior during the U.S. economic recovery. It accounts for nearly 10 percent of retail spending in the U.S., excluding autos.
The Associated Press formula calculates an executive's total compensation during the last fiscal year by adding salary, bonuses, perks, above-market interest that the company pays on deferred compensation and the estimated value of stock and stock options awarded during the year. The AP formula does not count changes in the present value of pension benefits. That makes the AP total slightly different in most cases from the total reported by companies to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The value that a company assigned to an executive's stock and option awards was the present value of what the company expected the awards to be worth to the executive over time. Companies use one of several formulas to calculate that value. However, the number is just an estimate, and what an executive ultimately receives will depend on the performance of the company's stock in the years after the awards are granted. Most stock compensation programs require an executive to wait a specified amount of time to receive shares or exercise options.

Vertiginous fuchsia heels bedazzled with 360 carats'-worth of precious stones, a tennis match with Monaco's Prince Albert and the rubberized second-skin dress right off Gwen Stefani's back were among the extravagant lots that helped a star-studded charity auction raise a record-breaking (EURO)10 million ($14 million) for AIDS research.
A-listers turned up by the herd, with Sean Penn, Karl Lagerfeld, Janet Jackson, Freida Pinto and Patrick Dempsey in attendance Thursday's amfAR charity dinner-cum-auction, held at the exclusive seaside Hotel du Cap. Robert De Niro, who heads the jury at the Cannes Film Festival - which runs through Sunday in the next town over - and jury members Jude Law and Uma Thurman also attended.
Stars in their evening finest and those fabulous enough to call them their friends - and spring for a seat at the several-thousand-dollar-a-plate gala - mingled over cocktails before the start of the three-course dinner that stretched out over four long hours.
In past years, Sharon Stone has emceed the evening's festivities, but she was absent Thursday, so dozens of heavy-hitters took turns cajoling the well-heeled audience to splurge on artwork, trips, fine wine and a pair of stiletto heels billed as the world's "most precious shoes."
Proceeds from the event go to the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR), a nonprofit organization that supports HIV/AIDS research.
Draped with 500 diamonds, sapphires, and other stones, the heels were a one-of-a-kind collaboration between Italian shoemaker Giuseppe Zanotti and French luxury jeweler Chopard.
"I'm wearing them, and my bodyguard is my shadow," said Polish-born model Anja Rubik, who paired sparking stilettos with a strapless Pucci dress in blue feathers.
Asked whether she was happy with the (EURO)140,000 the shoes - and a pair of matching earrings - ended up fetching, she demurred. "I was hoping for more. I'm very ambitious."
The evening's highest-fetching lot was chance to play a match of tennis with His Serene Highness Prince Albert of Monaco and take a dip with his fiancee, South African-born Olympic swimmer Charlene Wittstock. The tete-a-tete was sold to two different bidders for (EURO)500,000 apiece.
Wittstock placed the winning (EURO)60,000 bid on Moet & Chandon's Nebuchadnezzar Champagne, in a gold-leafed bottle.
A ten-day-long trip for eight aboard a private jet fetched (EURO)180,000, and a week in an exclusive chalet in the chic French ski station of Courcheval was sold twice for (EURO)250,000 a piece.
A Herb Ritz photo of Elizabeth Taylor fetched (EURO)150,000, a print by Robert Rauschenberg, (EURO)130,000, and Jean Pigozzi's 1981 photograph of Mick Jagger went for (EURO)300,000.
Between the bids, Courtney Love, Brazilian singer Bebel Gilberto and Boy George played sets, in a failed bid to get the audience pumping.
Perhaps the tepid reaction was the result of a food coma - the menu included olive oil roasted sea bass with bearnaise sauce, a medley of spring vegetables and a berry-topped meringue - but whatever the reason, it proved too much for Boy George.
"You are the worst," he chided after a bid to get the audience to sing along to "Karma Chameleon" netted radio silence. When it happened again, he came out swinging, ranting, "so you're not going to sing along? You're too rich and fabulous to be bothered? Unbelievable!"
The 18th edition of the amfAR dinner was dedicated to the memory of Elizabeth Taylor, an early crusader in the fight against AIDS who helped establish amfAR.
Elton John hailed Taylor as a "force of nature" and pledged she would remain the charity event's "guiding star."
Ivana Trump, wearing a sequined long-sleeve gown by Paris house Azzaro, said Taylor, who died in March, continued to loom large over the event.
"She was not just a legend of the silver screen but she also had a big heart and she will be missed," said Trump, her blond locks swept into a towering beehive.
Last year, the event brought in $6.7 million.

Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life SYNOPSIS
Ayn Rand was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Defying the death warrant of the Soviet Union, she came to America as a temporary visitor in 1926 but remained for the rest of her life. Later, she would also defy the cultural and political views of contemporary America in such best-selling novels as THE FOUNTAINHEAD and ATLAS SHRUGGED. Her unique philosophy, Objectivism, challenged the cultural tradition of 2,500 years . . .

Second-Class Sailors
My name is Lance Garland, a Navy Veteran and recent University of Washington graduate who has been hard at work on my memoir about the inside story of Don't Ask Don't Tell. I've decided to donate the first public reading to defend marriage equality in Washington State, and over the next thirteen weeks I will release a chapter every monday in hopes to raise awareness and funding for our cause. This serialization will lead up to the November vote, where I encourage all Washingtonians to vote yes on Referendum 74, and approve the State's decision to allow gay and lesbian couples to marry.
Told through shifting narratives between men and the sea, across continents and perspectives,Second-Class Sailors is a memoir about the forbidden love of two men during the US Military's Don't Ask Don't Tell era, their struggle to pay the price of truth, and the courage it took to stand against unbeatable odds, and ultimately, to overcome them.
Please visit my website www.lancegarland.com, enjoy the weekly reading, and vote for equality everywhere.
Also, on the front page of my website is an "It Gets Better" video which details my story a bit more.
I hope my story will find a home with your website and radio show, and look forward to hearing from you!

I'm making my students this semester produce time-series charts and graphs as part of their assignments for a variety of reasons in addition to the usual sadism of all classroom instructors. Chiefly because a good data graph can tell a story more dramatically than straight prose, which you may not take in or believe anyway. So here are a few stunners out right now.
From Slate.com, this wonderful chart showing how Google is killing newspapers and magazines:
From investor John Mauldin, I learn that not only has China passed the U.S. in coal consumption, they've also blown way past us in meat consumption:
Wait until the meat-hating environmentalists learn about this (or Mayor Bloomberg–I'll bet the ChiComms have LOTS of salt on their meat).

AUSTIN, Texas - Walter Cronkite has narrated a one-hour video documentary about Texas water resources, which will air Feb. 3 on all Texas public television stations.
"Texas: the State of Water-Finding a Balance" explores what's at stake in the struggle to provide enough clean water for wildlife and the environment, cities, industry and agriculture.
"I'm afraid that many Texans presume that there will always be plenty of water for all of our needs, but it's important for all of us to take a closer look now," said Robert L. Cook, executive director of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, which is producing the documentary.
"Even if you're not an angler or boater or have no connection with water resource development, this issue affects every single Texan," Cook said. "There is still time to plan for a future with enough water for people and fish and wildlife. But we need to act responsibly now."
For the second time, the Emmy Award-winning television series "Texas Parks & Wildlife" is teaming with the state's 13 PBS affiliates to broadcast original programming in prime-time on one night. The series' first one-hour documentary about water resources, a partnership venture with KERA-TV in Dallas, aired May 29, 2003.
"The greatness of Texas, its future, its well-being and its prosperity depend on its people understanding the vital role played by the wise and equitable distribution of its water supply," said Cronkite, who donated his services to the documentary project.
Cronkite, 88, was born in Missouri but moved to Texas as a boy and grew up in the Houston area. He still has family in the Austin area and returns to visit frequently. He was anchorman and managing editor of the CBS Evening News for 19 years, until 1981. He is still a special correspondent for CBS News, but now also co-owns the Cronkite Ward Company in New York, which produces documentary programs for The Discovery Channel, PBS and other outlets.
Cronkite recorded narration for the documentary at the "Texas Parks & Wildlife" TV series production studio while in Austin in November. The weekly half-hour series runs on PBS stations in Texas and some other states.
Topics explored in the documentary include the controversial "rule of capture," an overview of agencies and laws that regulate surface water and groundwater, river instream flows, water lawsuits, controversies involving environmental river flow permits, how water use affects endangered species and other aquatic life, water rights permitting, proposed reservoirs, water as a commodity, interbasin water transfers from one river basin to another, and how river inflows affect the ecological health of bays and estuaries.
The documentary concludes with what people can do to help, including ways to conserve water, enhance groundwater recharge and retention, improve housing developments, and get involved as volunteers. The documentary is part of a broader TPWD public information initiative that began in July 2002 with the first of an annual series of special issues of the Texas Parks & Wildlife magazine devoted to water issues.
The July 2005 special issue will focus on groundwater, in which some of the best writers in the state along with TPWD experts, will help explain what groundwater is, how it works, and why readers should care. The overall communications initiative also includes using the TPWD radio series, Web site and other media to get messages out there.
The "Texas: the State of Water" 2005 communications initiative is funded in part by underwriting sponsor The Boone Pickens Foundation, A Communities Foundation of Texas Fund, patron sponsor Brazos Mutual Funds and supporting sponsors San Antonio River Authority, Brazos River Authority and Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority.
The following stations (and cities they cover) will broadcast "Texas: the State of Water-Finding a Balance" in the listed cities on Feb. 3. Unless otherwise indicated below, stations will air the documentary from 8-9 p.m. Central Standard Time.

8 Things Entrepreneurial People Do Differently
August 17th, 2015
A lot of people are fascinated by the idea of business entrepreneurship. Different people have different reasons why they start their own business and become an entrepreneur:
Some individuals take up entrepreneurship just because they are fed up or bored with their daily routine job so they decide to try out something different. Others become a business man because they think that their current job doesn't get them enough income. And a lot of people get into business entrepreneurship because they want to be their own boss.
However, starting to run your own business is actually a different ball game compared to working for a private company, the government, or a private individual. Though you don't have a boss to report to, you have much more responsibilities when you are running your own business. A business entrepreneur has to take care of each and every aspect of his/her business. In other words, you do almost everything when you run your own business.
The most important thing to keep in mind when you decide to become a business entrepreneur is the idea that the success of your business is dependent on your actions. From strategising marketing plans, proper management and selling your product or service, almost all these tasks will be executed by your own.
However, entrepreneurship is not a simple task especially on its early stages. More especially, becoming successful is a huge challenge. In order to become successful, you need to become mentally and emotionally intelligent. What does it take to become a successful entrepreneur?
According to an article written by Joe Van Brussel at Huffington Post, you need to do differently. He listed down 8 things. Read the full article here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/07/22/8-things-entrepreneurial-_n_5492407.html?utm_hp_ref=small-business

Sen. Tom Harkin, the chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, appears to be focusing on the full Senate as the primary venue for writing the new farm bill rather than hashing it out in committee.
Harkin, a Democrat from Iowa, has been expressing frustration at his inability to win agreement for significantly revamping the farm bill to make it more conservation and energy-oriented than the legislation passed by the House last July.
Speaking with reporters on his weekly telephone conference call Tuesday (Oct. 2), Harkin was asked about support in the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry for "significant" cuts in direct payments, the fixed payments made to all farmers with program crop acreage bases.
"Well, I would say there's never been much support for a significant cut, but I do find some broad areas of agreement for across-the-board reductions that would include cuts in direct payments," he said.
"Plus, keep in mind, one big hurdle will be getting a bill out of committee. When we get to the floor, a number of senators just don't feel good at all about these direct payment programs. You can anticipate there will be a number of amendments on the Senate floor to revise the direct payment system."
Asked about earlier reports he wanted to reduce direct payments by $4.5 billion, Harkin said that figure was no longer in play. "We're not looking at anything like that now; that was just my starting point," he said, adding he now favors a reduction as low as $1 billion to $2 billion.
Noting the ag committee had held four meetings on the farm bill in recent days, Harkin said the committee is "beginning to rally around a basic framework that makes sound investments in our national priorities, provides strong policy and moves our country forward."
He said the new investments the committee wants to make in agriculture will come from a variety of funding sources, including the Senate Finance Committee tax package, which the latter was expected to mark up on Thursday (Oct. 4).
"I've been in contact with Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, and he has indicated the package in his committee will provide additional resources to meet our farm bill funding shortfall," Harkin said, adding he remained hopeful the finance committee action would allow him to mark up the ag committee farm bill this week (of Oct. 1).
The finance committee tax package is expected to provide $9 billion in new funding for agriculture, including $4 billion to $5 billion for the permanent disaster program that Baucus, a Democrat from Montana, has been championing in recent months.
Harkin reportedly opposes a permanent disaster program but may have to accept it as the price of receiving the additional funding, the remainder of which, he said, would go to conservation, energy, rural development and specialty crops."
Any permanent disaster program would be separate from the revenue counter-cyclical program that Harkin says he supports. He said his chairman's mark may give farmers the option of enrolling in a revenue-based CCP rather than the current price-based counter-cyclical program.
He also expressed some frustration about opposition to increased spending for conservation programs, including the Conservation Security Program he wrote into the 2002 farm bill.
"The forces are at work to cut out conservation funds," Harkin said. "I can't believe it, but, then again, we'll have to see what happens on the floor — and in the conference committee (that will be held to reconcile the House and Senate farm bills)."
The chairman said he's concerned that maintaining funding for all the conservation programs — from the CSP to the Environmental Quality Incentives Program — is at risk. "But it isn't going to happen on my watch," he said.
Harkin said he wants another $1.6 billion to spend on the Conservation Security Program.

HEY, I REMEMBER THAT!: A look back at area sports this week 10, 25 and 50 years ago
50 Years Ago This Week – 1962
For the first time in the history of their boys basketball program, the Lima Shawnee Indians raised the Western Buckeye League title at the end of the 1961-62 season. Unfortunately for the St. Marys Roughriders, the clinching victory came at their expense as the Indians blasted them by a final of 63-36. The first period was close, as the Indians held just an 11-7 lead, but then they blew things wide open in the second stanza and took a 31-11 advantage into the locker room with them at intermission. St. Marys' deficit extended to 26 points after the third period, and although they played pretty even with Shawnee in the final minutes, it obviously was not enough. With the loss, St. Marys dropped to 3-11 on the year as seniors Pat O'Reilly, Jim Hollman, and Rex Hiles, played in the final home game of their careers. Denny Brown was the only Roughrider in double-digits as he scored ten points in the loss.
25 Years Ago This Week – 1987
In his five seasons as the head coach of the Minster Wildcats, boy's coach Ed Snyder had never scored a victory over the Marion Local Flyers. Thanks to 18 points by Scott Larger and 13 from Darren Wolf though, the Wildcats improved to 7-10 on the season when they downed the Blue and Gold by a final of 45-42 in Minster 25 years ago this week. Fighting through Marion Local's notorious 2-3 match up, zone defense, the Wildcats edged out in front 12-8 at the end of the first quarter and extended their lead to 28-22 at the halftime break. The Flyers pulled to within four points with eight minutes remaining in the game. With six minutes left though, the Flyers knotted the score at 38 where it stayed until two-and-a-half minutes remained and Minster jumped back in front by a basket. The Flyers hit a free throw a few moments later to claw to within a point, but Darren Wolf's tip-in with 23 ticks on the clock eventually sealed the win for the home team.
10 Years Ago This Week – 2002
In a battle between a pair of teams each seeking a little momentum heading into the post-season, the New Bremen Cardinals hosted the neighboring New Knoxville Rangers in girls' basketball action. The home team squeaked out in front 12-10 at the conclusion of the first quarter, but laid it on thick before halftime as they extended their advantage to 35-21. They added six more points to their lead in the third quarter and coasted to the 17-point win by a final of 58-41. Jessica Eckert led all scorers in her team's win with 17 points, while the Rangers were paced by Ashley Arnett's 11 counters. The victory bumped the Cardinals up to 10-9 overall, while they finished the year one game under the .500 mark in the Midwest Athletic Conference with a 4-5 slate. The Rangers slid to 11-9 overall with the loss, and ended the conference season with only two wins in nine outings.

Military Benefits for Education
As a member of the military, a former member, a dependent of a service member, or a future service member, you could be eligible for a number of military or VA educational benefits.
A complete listing of Federal Benefits for Veterans and Dependents is available at Veterans Benefits – Department of Veterans Affairs. For many prospective students, the Post-9/11 GI Bill® may be a better opportunity than other education benefit programs, such as the Montgomery GI Bill – Active Duty, Montgomery GI Bill – Selected Reserve and the Reserve Education Assistance Program (REAP). However, this depends on several factors, including the type of educational program you plan to enroll in and the amount of educational benefits received under each program.
GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official US government website at http://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.
Election of Benefits
If you wish to receive benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill and you are eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill and another GI Bill benefit such as the Montgomery GI Bill you will be required to make an irrevocable choice of which benefit you wish to receive.
If you are eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill and two or more other education benefit you must make an irrevocable choice to give up ONE of the other education benefits, however you will remain eligible for the benefit you did not relinquish. Because you are now eligible for two education benefits, you MAY be able to change which education benefit you draw depending on your eligibility.
For example: you have eligibility under the Post 9/11 GI Bill and the Selected Reserve GI Bill. You can get a degree in electrical engineering under the Post-9/11 GI Bill at a community college, then you can enroll in an apprenticeship program with the electrician's union under the Selected Reserve GI Bill and receive Journeyman certification.
If you are not planning to use the Post-9/11 GI Bill now, you do not need to make your election immediately but should wait until closer to the time in which you wish to use benefits.
The Department of Veterans Affairs generally specifies benefit programs as a Chapter. It is important that you understand which Chapter(s) apply to you. The Department of Veterans Affairs determines eligibility, not Alliant International University.
Military Education Benefit Programs Available at Alliant
The following Military Education Benefit programs are available at Alliant International University:
