I work as a diver in the sea every day, and sometimes drops of seawater enter my mouth and reach my throat, but they do not enter the stomach. Does this invalidate my fast? If I am not able to fast because of my work, what should I do?.
In the answer to question no. 39232 , we have stated that there is nothing wrong with a fasting person diving into water, but he must take care to avoid letting water reach his stomach as much as he can.
The Ramadaan fast is one of the pillars of Islam and it is not permissible for a Muslim to neglect his fast or be heedless about it because of difficulty encountered as a result of his work. What he must do is strive to combine fasting and work if possible. If that is not possible and he needs to work, then he must give priority to fasting, and take a break from work if he can. If that is not possible and he needs to work, then he should form the intention to fast from the night before and start fasting in the morning, then when it becomes too difficult for him, it is permissible for him to break his fast because of necessity, but he has to make up that day. If it does not become too difficult and he is able to complete the fast, then he must do so.
See the answer to question no. 43772.
See also Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah, 10/234.
If a fasting person swims in water and water reaches his throat without him intending it to, then this does not break the fast, because he did not do it deliberately. This is the view of Imam Ahmad (may Allaah have mercy on him).
See: al-Mughni, 3/358; al-Insaaf, 7/434; al-Sharh al-Mumti', 6/393
The questioner says that water reaches his throat but it does not enter his stomach.
The scholars differed concerning the things that invalidate the fast – is what counts whether the food or drink reaches the throat or the stomach?
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in al-Sharh al-Mumti' (6/393): The author (may Allaah have mercy on him) mentioned six issues in which the ruling depends on whether water reaches the throat of the fasting person. So the ruling is based on whether water reaches the throat, not the stomach. The apparent meaning of the words of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah is that the ruling is based on whether the thing that breaks the fast reaches the stomach. There is no doubt that this is what is meant, as there is no report in the Qur'aan or Sunnah which suggests that the ruling is based on whether it reaches the throat, but the fuqaha' (may Allaah have mercy on them) said that if it reaches the throat it may be assumed that it has reached the stomach, or that the ruling is based on whether the thing that breaks the fast reaches any inner part of the body and the throat is an inner part. End quote.
There is nothing wrong with swimming or diving deep into water when fasting. If any water reaches the throat or the stomach without you intending it to, then this does not break the fast.
And Allaah knows best.

MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — Mexican authorities say a U.S. citizen who once served in the U.S. Navy and was a police officer in Texas has been detained in northern Mexico for allegedly heading a group of kidnappers.
Nuevo Leon state security spokesman Jorge Domene said Monday that the man and 15 of his alleged accomplices were detained in the last week.
The U.S. Embassy didn't immediately respond to a request for information.
Domene says investigators have two names for the man and haven't fully identified him. But the spokesman says the suspect served in the Navy and was a police officer in Texas between 1998 and 2009.
Domene says the gang staged the September kidnapping and killing of the father of the mayor of General Zuazua, a town near the industrial city of Monterrey.

"Operation Return to Sender" is one example of the types of names that employees of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement use for their programs.
Originally, the program was created to round up undocumented immigrants that were considered to be dangerous, including criminals and terrorism suspects. However a few years later, the program shifted from targeting individuals like these to targeting undocumented immigrants with no criminal record or deportation orders, according to the New York Times.
One example is the raids that took place in New Haven in 2007. According to lawyers at Yale's immigration law center:
Agents who found no one home at an address specified in a deportation order simply knocked on other doors until one opened, pushed their way in, and arrested residents who acknowledged that they lacked legal status.
The shift is evident. After looking at five years worth of data, Julie Meyers, former chief of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, reported that of the 96,000 people apprehended, almost three-quarters had no criminal record.
While racking up the number of undocumented immigrants apprehended, there is a blatant disregard for the families which are separated and affected by these actions.
"It looks like what happened here is that the law enforcement strategy was hijacked by the political agenda of the [Bush] administration," says Peter L. Markowitz.
Furthermore, financing for this program has risen dramatically—from $9 million in 2003 to $218 million in 2008. As Americans cope with the current recession, it is hard to imagine that this much money is spent instilling fear into immigrants. Rather than spending on this program, it would probably be more beneficial to spend this money elsewhere.

Game Day Recon #71 – Wild @ Canucks
The Vancouver Canucks face their long-time division rivals tonight as they travel to Calgary to end their 5 game road trip against the Flames. The Flames could very well end up facing the Canucks in the first round of the playoffs. Based on how the games have gone so far this year, I think the Canucks would probably be okay with that.
Broadcast Info
Game Time: 7:00 PM PT
TV: RSN-VAN Radio: Team1040
The Intel
For all of the troubles that the Canucks have had playing in Minnesota, they've had a lot more success against the Wild at home. The Canucks are 7-0-1 in their last 8 home games against the Wild. In 5 of those 8 games, the Canucks have scored 4 or more goals. While Canucks fans may worry about their team playing in the State of Hockey, the Canucks have done all they can to quell fans' nerves when playing them at home.
Cal Clutterbuck and Andrew Brunette have both been handfuls for the Canucks this year. Both have played 4 games against Vancouver this year, and both have 2G 0A. Clutterbuck is still a question mark for tonight's game, so the Canucks may have one minor worry off their plate. But the Wild are likely to see the return of Mikko Koivu, who appears to be a gametime decision, as is Clayton Stoner. As for Brunette, he is a Canuck killer. In 64 GP against the Canucks, Brunette has 18G 37A 55 Pts and +11. And many of his goals were assisted by Blonde and Redhead.
The Canucks can also has Marty Havlat to their list of troubles this year. While he's not normally been a difficulty for the Canucks, he has 2G 1A in 4GP this year. Interestingly though Havlat, Brunette and Clutterbuck are all -2 against the Canucks this year. Much of that has to do with the fact that 4 of their 7 combined points came on the power play.
For the Canucks, they need to make sure that they continue their momentum from their perfect road trip. Vancouver does have a great record when coming back off the road, going 8-2-1 in their first game back at home after a road trip. And the Wild are coming off back-to-back 4-0 shutouts on the road. After a loss, the Wild are an average 12-10-4 and 7-5-2 with 2 days off.
Canucks fans are hoping that their team can keep it going. They're only a couple of points away from clinching the Northwest Division and therefore a playoff spot. Let's hope they just get it done already! Then maybe we'll breathe a bit.
The Three Keys
Here are the three keys for the Vancouver Canucks tonight:
1. Get the Penalty Kill going. The Canucks achilles heel against the Wild this season has been their penalty kill. Granted they faced the Wild when their PK was not rolling as well as it is now. So that's encouraging. Of the Wild's 12 goals against the Canucks this year, 5 have been power play goals. And they've scored a PPG in 3 of their 4 games this year. So yeah. STOP THEM ON THE POWER PLAY.
2. If you start scoring, don't stop! The Wild are third-worst in the league in 3+ goal losses, with 16. And the Canucks haven't had a close game against the Wild all season. They either win big or lose big. So it seems like it's the first team to 3 goals will win. So Canucks need to open the game up and go for the jugular.
3. Get their sh*t together in the second period. The second period is statistically the Canucks worst period. By a LOT. However, in their last game vs Calgary, the Canucks had a brilliant second period and it won them the game. The Canucks need to overcome this hurdle of letting down in the middle frame and keep the engine revved. Smooth line changes are a must against a team that doesn't have a ton of offense, but are very opportunistic.

NH snowfall amounts; Alton tops the list with 15 inches
February 19. 2014 7:45AM
Many New Hampshire residents can attest that weather forecasters, who predicted 3 to 6 or 4 to 8 inches of snow would blanket the state in the latest storm that hit Tuesday, missed the boat by a wide margin - and in at least one case, by a foot.
In the snowfall count, Alton top the list with 15 inches of snow covering the Lakes Region town, according to the National Weather Service. Close behind with 14 inches were Canterbury, Hooksett, Bow, Rochester and Madbury.
Snow measuring 13 inches was recorded in Concord (as well as 12. 2 and 12 inches depending exactly where in the Capital City it was measured) and 13 inches also covered Northwood.
Northfield, with 12.6 inches, was close behind followed by Laconia with 12.5 inches and northeast Alton with 12.3.
A foot of snow blanketed many communities including Barnstead, Deerfield, New Durham, Strafford, New Boston and Goffstown.
The town with the least? That would be Marlborough where 2.5 inches was recorded.

"It wasn't supposed to happen this way".
A friend and I wept with the truth carried by those words. They echoed a sentiment my heart has come to know all too well.
Bad things shouldn't happen to good people. Bad shit should only happen to bad people. Yeah, right! Perhaps in a perfect World.
Bad things happen. Period. I really don't believe that we can necessarily contribute those things to bad luck, falling into bad karma, negative magick. To assume that our Deities are putting us through tests of strength or endurance is nothing more than arrogance. I suspect that the Gods have better things to do than to indulge the over inflated egos of mere mortals.
Let's face it though, when something goes horribly wrong in our lives, we often feel the need to lay the blame somewhere, because the possibility that awful things just randomly happen...would be inconceivable.
My mother and sister died within 6 months of each other and while they had both suffered from long term serious and terminal illnesses, that knowledge brought me only minimal comfort. And just when I didn't think things could possibly get worse, my Dad was diagnosed with cancer and within 15 months, I had lost my entire family.
"What the fuck?!", I thought", totally convinced that I was being punished for something I done, that I was cursed or that it was retribution for some huge karmic debt held over from this, as well as every one of my past lives! I remember thinking, "I must have been a horrible person in another life" It wasn't supposed to happen this way! Or perhaps...it was.
I truly believe that there are reasons for everything we experience and for those in our lives that experience it with us. That is not to say that our lives are predestined, only that there are things that we need to experience, directly or indirectly, either for our own personal growth, to prepare us to deal with some future event or perhaps to help others do the same. These things are just part of the soul's evolutionary process; those lessons that are necessary for the next phase of the soul's journey. So what lesson came to me from all this? Well, I learned that, when I had to be, I was stronger than I ever believed humanly possible.
The energy we expend trying to figure out why bad things happen or who or what is responsible is the ultimate exercise in futility. I've since learned that when when I'm presented with a difficult life situation or worse, one that sucks to a mind blowing degree, the first thing I do is look at it from the best and worst case scenarios. Then, I learn everything I possibly can to prepare for both. After all, knowledge is power! I concentrate all the energy that would have been wasted on trying to figure out who to blame, on what I can do to make the situation better. This immediately puts the control back in my hands. If there isn't anything I can do from a mundane standpoint, I consider what I might be able to do spiritually or magickally and I do it! And...I don't fuck around! I think this is where magick is monumentally beneficial and so much better than sitting around worrying about the outcome while merely hoping for the best.
Still, there comes a time when we need to accept that what, "wasn't supposed to happen this way" did, and may be beyond the scope of what we can influence without Divine Intervention. I believe that therein lies the lesson.
When I was a kid, my Mom taught me a little prayer for those times when I need to be reminded of this lesson.
"Hecate, grant me the serenity to accept the the things I can not change, bring your power to my magick to change the things I can and your wisdom to know the difference".
OK, well, maybe not EXACTLY the way Mom taught me! :)

That Old Black Magick!
Merry Meet Family and Friends!
So, today I heard yet another news report about a horrendous murder that the media is contributing to use of "Black Magic". This has to be the fourth in as many weeks. Then last night, I tuned into one of my favorite shows, "A Haunting". The episode was about a woman and her son who were plagued by "Sprites", after the woman, who was practicing Wicca, admitted, "I guess I really didn't know what I was dealing with". Oh for the love of nerve!
Now ya gotta know, this is just the kind of hype the media lives for. The fact is however, magick is neither black nor white, it's all in how you use it. What one considers "Black Magick" is nothing more than focused energy with a negative intent. And if someone has ever pissed you off to the point you wished that they get exactly what they deserve, guess what? You've just practiced negative magick. That's called, "Black Wishing" and taking a wild guess here, we've all done it.
We're talking magick here folks and whether you believe in it or not, the possibilities are as limitless as one's imagination. You don't have to be Wiccan or a Witch to use it either. That said, if you're going to indulge in the occult arts, I'll give you my unsolicited two cents. Firstly, know what the hell you're doing and be prepared for the consequences.
Let's be honest though, if magick worked to that degree of accuracy every time we used it, we would all be married to our soul mates, be wealthy, beautiful, the World would be free of disease and poverty and all our enemies would be infested with the fleas of a thousand friggin' camels! If someone commits a horrendous crime, it's not necessarily because they're practicing negative magick, it's because they're crazier than a bag of rats!
Still, there is a ton of literature and a bunch of naive, unstable or pissed off people out there who are more than willing to pick up a book and delve into the darkest areas of magick without ever thinking about the implications. What you have is unharnessed energy in the hands of an idiot with a book.
I'll tell you a little tale of the first spell I'd ever cast. I had just learned that my Dad was suffering with terminal cancer. I knew that a cure was not possible, so I cast a spell for what I believed was "for the good of all". That being, that he suffer not a moment of pain throughout the duration of his illness.
I hadn't been practicing very long at that point, so I didn't think it necessary to cast a protective circle or call quarters or shield myself in any way. I just called upon the Goddess Hecate and winged it! I knew very little about Hecate at that point, with the exception that she was very powerful and was known as the "The Queen of the Witches". Given the magnitude of my request, I needed this to work and didn't care what I needed to do to get it. So, with all the emotion and intent I could muster, I cast my spell, somewhat skeptical of it's success and giving little thought to it afterward.
The next day, I woke up feeling, not.quite.right. It felt like the flu. "Hmmmm.....strange, I thought, maybe it was something I ate". Well, by that evening, I had a high fever, a violent headache, a rash that had now spread all over my body, cough, abdominal pain. I was terrified! I couldn't remember ever feeling worse! I ended up in the Emergency Room, where the doctors suspected meningitis, but were actually taking out medical journals to try to determine what the hell I had. I was ill for two weeks, no one ever did figure it out. My Dad, passed away 9 months later with an arsenal of narcotics for pain in his refrigerator that he never needed to take. Was it worth it? I would do it again in a heart beat, just a little more wisely.
I guess my best advice would be know yourself, know and practice your craft wisely and without ego, be clear about your purpose and intent, acknowledge and honor your Deities. There is nothing more humbling than having your ass kicked by the Dark Mother!
Most importantly, Magick does works and often in the way we least expect it!

Strange Days Indeed!
Merry Meet and Happy Monday Family and Friends!
So last night I didn't sleep well at all. Just as had begun to fall asleep, I began to hear the faint rumble of thunder in the distance. "Oh that's just great!", I thought to myself. My dogs are terrified of storms and become very restless during them. Usually all four dogs will either huddle under my bed or pace around the room panting and whining until the storm passes. This storm was odd in that the thunder began a couple of hours before it developed into anything significant. I finally fell asleep somewhere close to 2 a.m.
It didn't occur to me until I looked at the clock this morning that, "Oh crap! It's Monday!". I had overslept and now would get a late start getting ready for work. For the next hour so, I rushed about and finally realizing that, since there was no way I was ever going to get to work on time, I might as well be really late. I decided to walk.
I enjoy walking to work. I listen to the birds sing, connect with the elements and just lose myself in thought. I find that by the time I arrive at my office, things don't appear to suck quite as much as I originally thought! Besides, stressed out and pissed off is never a good way to start the day!
I had just turned my first corner, when I noticed three men in dark suits standing in front of a small church near our home. "Church services? On a Monday morning?", I wondered. Then I noticed a hearse parked at the curb. This, in retrospect, seemed appropriate given the way the day began.
The men were chatting directly in the center of the sidewalk where I needed to pass, which was vaguely awkward. I felt it would be rude not to acknowledge them, but what was I supposed to say? "Good Morning" didn't really feel appropriate under the circumstances.
As I passed by the hearse, I got a decidedly creepy feeling. Then, as I approached the men, as if choreographed, they all stepped aside to let me pass by and in unison said, "Good Morning!". Ok, so perhaps it was the lack of sleep or the weirdness of the situation, but at that moment, I just found this all really friggin' amusing. "Apparently not for some of us", I responded before I could stop myself. Oooops! Outside voice!
Thankfully almost all of us found it amusing!

Out of the Blue!
Merry Meet and Greetings Family and Friends!
So, you know how I recently wrote about my learning to work with spirit guides? Well, at some point after one receives their second degree Reiki attunement, their spirit guides may make an appearance. Now, I have to be honest, I am nothing if not open-minded. I am a true believer in afterlife communication because I've experienced it first hand and have an "open door" policy when it comes to visits from the dead people, but the whole "spirit guide" thing? Meh...I was beginning to have my doubts.
My Reiki Masters made many suggestions for how we might connect with these beings, and I've tried all of them! Guided meditations, Shamanic Journeying, pleading, whining. I got nothing! I've had better luck with dead people, dammit! I was beginning to suspect that if my spirit guides really did exist, they were just not that into me!
A few nights ago, I sat down to do my own Reiki healing. The more one connects to the Universal Life Force Energy, the more potent and powerful it is becomes, so I try to practice daily. I put on my favorite meditation CD, lit some incense, closed my eyes and began to connect to the energy. The beautiful full moon shining down on me through the window added it's own energy to the experience.
After about a half hour of blissful Reiki-ing, suddenly, out of no where, came a flash of brilliant blue light surrounding the profile of a woman's face! The woman, a Victorian lady, looked to be in her early 30's, with a lovely, serene expression. However, she wasn't anyone I recognized.
Imagine, if you will, an antique photograph, yellowed by age, in which the subject's facial features and hair are clearly defined, but the remainder of the photo is pale and faded. Now imagine this photo instead, vibrant blue, and you will have a fairly accurate description of what I'd just experienced!
I felt no fear whatsoever, but kept my eyes tightly closed both to hold the visual and because I wasn't really sure I was ready to open them to find her, ya know, standing in the middle of my living room!
"Was this my spirit guide?", I wondered, which my stunned senses translated as, "Holy friggin' crap!". Yet, before I could even begin wrapping my mind around the possibilities, the words that have manifested themselves in my life more often and more dramatically than I could have ever imagined came to mind with stunning clarity...

And Sow, We Reap
Merry Meet Family and Friends,
This past weekend, I participated in two Lammas celebrations. Lammas marks the first harvest of the year, is one of three celebrated harvest festivals and heralds the coming of Autumn. It's also a time of reflection upon what we've accomplished or the blessings we have reaped in our lives.
One of rituals I attended was held in a beautiful 65 acre nature center adjacent to a wildlife preserve. After the rites had ended, I was sitting next to the fire, listening to the birds singing. Twilight would soon be approaching and I decided to take a walk down a path through the woods to see if I could spot the first little bats of the evening. I love bats!
I walked only a short distance when there, directly in the center of the path, stood a young tree that created a natural crossroads to what lie ahead. I considered choosing a path, but instead decided to honor someone who has, often in less than subtle ways, guided me along the way. Hecate, the Goddess of the Crossroads.
It is customary to leave food at the crossroads as an offering to Hecate, so I ran back to the pavilion where the ritual had taken place, snatched a mini muffin off the table and headed back down the path. I also brought with me, a single yellow rose.
When I arrived back, I knelt down to lay the rose and the offering at the base of the tree, only to discovered a large toadstool that had also created a perfect little natural altar for me to lay my gifts upon..and so I did.
I looked past the trees, gave thanks for my accomplishments, my blessings, the people in my life who have encouraged and inspired me and wondered what might await me on the path beyond. I realized then that perhaps for today, I had gone as far enough. For now, I am exactly where I was meant to be.

Pursuing My Passions...
Merry Meet Friends and Family:
My friend and fellow writer Voodoo Child came up with a brilliant idea to interview one occultist per month and post it on her blog site. She has honored me by including me for the month of July as her first interview.
If you have reading me for a while than you have heard me rave about her blog! She is a fascinating lady who has inspired me to pursue my own interests in rootwork.
I strongly encourage you to check out her site at VoodooChild at www.passionrituals.blogspot.com.

Taking Down the Tents
debord | occupy | situationists
All sides seem to agree that the Occupy London Stock Exchange protesters are leaving undefeated. The cathedral authorities stress that although 'tents and camping equipment' have been removed from the vicinity of St Paul's, 'ideas and protests' are still welcome. One protester described the eviction as 'an opportunity for us to move sideways and be innovative and creative'.
But in London, as elsewhere, as the campers have had to move sideways, Occupy will have to find another way forward. It isn't the kind of protest in which an achievable goal is linked to a symbolic nuisance, so that when the authorities see reason everyone can go home. Its demands have been much bigger, and they've been backed by the continuing physical presence of people obstinately taking up space. In this respect it's much more like the Greenham Common peace camps, or Brian Haw's one-man encampment in Parliament Square, than a traditional demonstration or sit-in. Their current position recalls the experiences of the Situationist International, a group the Occupy movement has often been compared to, not least by Adbusters, which issued the original call to occupy Wall Street last July.
Founded in 1957, the SI didn't seek converts; situationists didn't have an ism, any more than violinists or physicists. A situationist was someone who contributed to the construction of situations: a deceptively bland phrase which stood for a revolutionary transformation of society and everyday life, uniting Marxism with Surrealism and taking them onto the streets. Initially working in art, architecture and film as well as political theory, in 1961 the Situationists took a decisive political turn, ruling that art could only be anti-situationist, and that the path to the construction of situations lay through wildcat strikes and workplace occupations.
After May 1968, and the only wildcat general strike in history, the situationists hit difficulties. Political work had been favoured on the grounds that situationist artists had merely contributed to the spectacle of artistic radicalism. But if the only revolution worth working for would be carried out by workers transforming their own daily lives, and if the workers had just been defeated and gone back to work, then what? Oppositional activism would simply contribute to the spectacle of political radicalism – a criticism that has been levelled at Adbusters too.
If both radical art practice and radical political activism are irredeemably compromised, what can be done? Sometimes, perhaps, the answer is not much. Guy Debord, the only Situationist present at both the group's founding and its dissolution in 1972, wrote in 1967 that revolutionary critique must 'work among the irreconcilable enemies of the spectacle, and admit that without them it is nothing'; in between times, it 'must know how to wait'.
And how we would know the enemies of the spectacle when they reappeared? Essentially, by their negativity. In 1979 Debord wrote that the workers of Italy
can be held up as an example to their comrades in all countries for their absenteeism, their wildcat strikes that no particular concession can manage to appease, their lucid refusal of work, and their contempt for the law and for all statist parties.
Debord identified the keynotes of the long wave of protest that traversed Italy in the 1970s, peaking in 1977: intransigent physical presence (or recalcitrant absence), refusal to identify with any established political party, protests with no single demand. Putting forward 'ideas and protests' wasn't the point; the Italian 1977, like May 1968, was a fertile source of slogans and publications, but that wasn't what the movement was for. The point was to be there: to assert the identity of the movement and its opposition to the status quo by the force of physical presence.
Cutting away the ground from beneath Occupy is a real blow, and it won't be redressed by reasserting the movement's ideas in less confrontational ways: indeed, this would tend to return it to the much more manageable world of the pressure group. Occupy wristband, anyone? The movement's enemies may have understood its strengths better than it does itself.

Leading by Example
How We Can Inspire an Energy and Security Revolution,
by Bill Richardson
(Click for Amazon book review)
BOOK REVIEW by OnTheIssues.org:
Unlike Richardson's previous autobiography, "Between Worlds", this book is much more clearly a campaign book. "Between Worlds" laid out Richardson's issue stances; this book lays out Richardson's campaign theme, centered around global warming.
Richardson is basing his presidential campaign on energy issues: relating everything from globalized trade behavior to our relations with Iran and China to energy policy. Richardson served as Bill Clinton's Secretary of Energy, so he's certainly well-qualified to discuss international and domestic policy on energy grounds. Our excerpts focus on Richardson's policy conclusions based on this framework.
Richardson's larger theme is encapsulated in the book's title, "Leading by Example" -- he would like the US to lead the world to sustainable energy. The title also hints at Richardson being a leader by his own example -- which is not so well-explored in the book, except using New Mexico, where Richardson is governor, as the example for nationwide policies.

This is a story.
A Karate instructor was walking down the street late at night when he was stopped by a mugger who demanded money. Confident in his kumite skill, the instructor refused.
Without warning, the mugger kicked the instructor in the groin, took his wallet, and ran away.
The policeman who arrived later that night recognized the instructor and asked, "Sensei, what happened? You are a famous champion!"
"We don't kick the groin in my style," explained the instructor. "That was a foul!"
This was just a story. However, sometimes there is a tendency for students to become tunnel visioned by their styles. A style is a subset of Karate. Just because the curriculum of a style does not contain a certain technique does not mean that the technique does not exist or is not effective.
In self-defense, anything goes, whether it is included or allowed in a style or not.

The U.S. drought of 2012 drove corn and soybeans to record or near-record prices this year, but the full impact of the summer's heat wave and drought on grain and livestock markets is still to be determined, say farmers, traders and analysts.
Soybean prices in particular backed off from highs after farmers started reporting better-than-expected yields, and corn retreated when high costs cut forecasts of demand. But carryover stockpile calculations and forecasts of yields and harvest acreage continued to provide plenty of questions going into the fall, analysts say.
The questions also increased speculation and predictions about the outlook for cattle, hogs and poultry, which consume much of the grain supply and could face sharp rationing of production in the next few months.
"It's really a question of fine-tuning supply and trying to figure out which demand category is going to get rationed and how much," says Dan Cekander, director of grain research for Newedge USA. "Certainly we're going to have to cut back on corn feeding significantly. Obviously it looks like we're going to cut the exports back significantly."
The scale of the problem is highlighted by Tommy Kent Crouch of TKC Investment Services (see October 2012 Trader Profile) who calls the drought the worst of his 46-year trading career. "This is a catastrophe of Biblical proportions," he says. "You go from Pennsylvania all the way to Colorado, [all] were in the grips of a tremendous drought, tremendous heat. It affected a very, very wide area of this country."
But Crouch says his initial predictions of the impact of the drought on soybean yields were proven wrong in mid-September when he realized that his mother's soybeans, contracted at 40 bushels per acre, actually were going to come in well above that figure and eventually were harvested at 68 bushels per acre.

Goat strap 2.5 cm made from high quality leather
ORO buckle
47 cm length
Buckle riveted
The straps are made of genuine stuffed leather and are refined. The edges of the bell strap are broken and rounded to ensure the animals optimal comfort. The straps are vegetable-tanned, which is optimal for your animals, as this tanning method usually counteracts any allergies associated with straps.
With good care with appropriate leather oil, which you can find here, you can use the bell straps on the pasture for many years. Leather straps are insensitive to UV light, unlike nylon straps.
Another advantage of leather straps over nylon is that only harmful and no sharp particles enter the stomach of the animals when consuming parts of the straps. Thus, a high-quality leather straps is still the best for your darlings.
The wire buckle is ideal for use on pasture. The bell strap can be easily put on and simply pulled through the buckle. This allows a quick ad and removal of the bell.

KENNEBUNK (AP) — Police say they have arrested a woman who is nine months pregnant for allegedly acting as the getaway driver in a Kennebunk burglary that was interrupted by the homeowner.
A department spokesman says the victim came home Tuesday afternoon to find an SUV with Florida plates in her driveway, the pregnant woman inside. When she opened her garage door, she saw a pile of electronics and guitars and saw a man run out the back door and jump in the SUV, which then took off.
The woman followed the SUV, got the license plate number, and called police.
Officers tracked down the vehicle and arrested Michael Gonyer and Ryana Garcia on burglary charges. Both are 21.
Police say Garcia was taken to a hospital because she is nine months pregnant.

Chicago zombie lovers are getting a con of their own in March, when the first Walker Stalker Con Chicago shuffles into the area.
Walker Stalker Con Chicago 2014 is set for March 14-16 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, 5555 N. River Road in Rosemont. The fan gathering will feature actors and producers from AMC's "The Walking Dead," panels, signings and other events.
Walker Stalker Con is the braains-child of Eric Nordhoff and James Frazier, fans of "The Walking Dead" who created The Walker Stalkers podcast and web site. The name was inspired by a road trip they made from Nashville to the Atlanta-area to watch the AMC show being filmed.
The duo launched the first Walker Stalker Con Atlanta last fall, attracting 10,500 fans to the three-day event.
They've just announced the Chicago event, but already have secured appearances from stars of "The Walking Dead" and other genre productions. The line-up so far includes "The Walkind Dead" humans and walkers Steven Yeun, Loren Cohan, Emily Kinney, IronE Singleton, Michael Cudlitz, Jose Pablo Cantillo, Sonequa Martin-Green, Lawrence Gilliard Jr., Lew Temple, Daniel Thomas May, Madison Lintz, Melissa Hutchinson and Addy Miller. EP and makeup wizard Greg Nicotero and costume designer Eulyn Womble are also set to attend.
This is cool: Kinney, who plays Beth in "TWD" and is from my home state of Nebraska, will perform in concert at 9 p.m. March 14 at the event. Get those tickets here.
Non "TWD" guest include former "Lost" stars Henry Ian Cusick and Nestor Carbonell (now in "Bates Motel"), Mackensie Lintz from "Under the Dome" and Howard Sherman (Bub, "Day of the Dead"). Author Jay Bonansinga and artist Arthur Suydam also are signed up.
Frazier tells me more announcements are coming, so keep an eye out here or the Walker_Stalkers Twitter or at the Walker Stalker Chicago web site, where you can also get tickets. (Yes, click the highlighted words to get to the page.)

Agni Parthene
Agni Parthene (Gr. Αγνή Παρθένε) is a non-liturgical hymn composed in Greek by St. Nectarios of Aegina in the 19th century during his tenure as director of the Rizarios Theological School of Athens. St. Nektarios liked to compose hymns in honor of the Mother of God to deepen his personal prayer and relationship with her. The tradition passed down at the monastery of St. Nektarios, in Aegina, Greece, is that the Lady herself appeared before him and requested that he record on paper a particular hymn the angelic choirs were about to sing. This hymn was the "Agni Parthene". The original script can still be viewed on his prayer table in his bedroom at this monastery.
The original melody to this hymn was composed by an Athonite hymnographer who is said to also have had a vision of the Virgin Mary prior to composing the work. The recording of this melody by the Monks of Simonopetra has contributed significantly to the popularization of the hymn.
Due to its popularity, the hymn has been translated into many langauges and the original melody has been adapted to suit the particular style of church chanting. One such variation is the Valaam Monastery chant of the Russian translation.
The hymn of the Pure Virgin is part of A Small Theotokarion (Athens, 1905) a book of Hymns to the Mother of God, written by St. Nektarios.
This hymn has been used during communion in the Liturgy and it is sometimes chanted at the beginning of Vespers.

Talkin' Outdoors
I love me some March Madness. I look forward to it every year about this time; I get excited at the prospects of what's about to happen.
Oh, you thought I was talking basketball? Sorry, that's not what March Madness means to this outdoors guy. What flips my switch is the opportunity each March to go alley-oop over the prospects of heading to the White River in north Arkansas for the chance to apply the pick and roll and slam-dunk on some rainbow trout.
Earlier this week, I set my CRV on a course that would take me from north Louisiana's red clay hills to Arkansas where the hills melded into mountains north of Little Rock.
I had satellite radio installed recently and the seven hour sojourn was helped along by switching between Willie's Roadhouse and Enlighten; from Charlie Pride to the Chuckwagon Gang. Before I knew it, I was pulling up in front of the sprawling complex that is Gaston's White River Resort nestled and strung out along half a mile of the margin of the river.
Several items on the invitation I received attracted my attention, as they always do when the White River is my destination.
For one, the scenery is breath-taking. Standing on the bluff bank high above the river, the water is cold and as clear as what trickles out of a garden hose. Moss-covered boulders with strands of greenery swaying in the current are harbingers of the fun about to begin.
After a meal fit for a king at Gaston's world class restaurant – I could have had lobster; I chose rib-eye instead – it was off to bed in one of the scores of comfortable cabins with all the amenities of home.
Next morning, the real reason for the trip came into focus. Paired with Patrick Kalmerton who hails from Wisconsin and a pro-staffer for several outdoor products companies, we were guided by Steve Lopez, a savvy guide who obviously knows his way around the river.
After drifting for awhile and picking up a fish occasionally, Lopez pointed the boat toward a nook in the river where the water flowed around the end of a point. Dropping anchor, we lobbed scent impregnated soft plastic fake worms to which a scented nugget was attached and the action began almost immediately. It was like sitting on a bluegill bed during the spring spawn; we caught rainbow trout hand over fist, and on ultra-light gear and fishing line the weight of a strand of spider web, it was just flat-out fun.
As enjoyable as it was to catch fish until you tired, next on the agenda was another reason to make the long drive from north Louisiana. You haven't lived until you've been treated to a world famous Gaston's shore lunch. The guides cleaned the trout we caught, battered and fried them up and served them piping hot alongside tubs of cole slaw, baked beans, French fries and hush puppies. If there was any room after this feast, there was a choice of cherry, apple or blueberry cobbler.
Add to the fishing and the feasting, the White River offers wildlife watching opportunities galore. From the majestic bald eagle sitting atop a tall tree to the raft of bluebill ducks diving and feeding on aquatic insects, the opportunities to enjoy all that nature offered was right there for the taking.
It was March Madness at its dead level best.

Fender bender in Las Vegas? Forget calling the police. They're not coming.
By Emma Lacey-Bordeaux
(CNN) — If you get into a fender bender in Las Vegas, don't bother calling 911. A car dings yours in traffic, same deal. In fact, unless the car crash resulted in an injury don't expect police to show up.
That's because Las Vegas Police just don't have the time anymore. Every week police in Sin City estimate they spend 250 hours on this kind of work. Time they'd rather spend it tackling bigger cases.
So come March 3, police will leave it up to drivers in these minor accidents to do the right thing. That means exchanging insurance data and filing a report themselves.
Not everyone thinks the new move makes sense.
"People are going to be over exaggerating, understating the accident, and the procedure of the accident isn't going to be reported correctly because of a lack of police involvement," Dena Gaskin told CNN affiliate KLAS.
And while drivers in many cities gripe about traffic hazards, Vegas motorists face certifiably mean streets.
All State Insurance Company every year ranks 200 cities based on their claims data. In 2013, Las Vegas ranked 130th. Meaning that on average, drivers there get into an accident once every 8.7 years.
If you don't like those odds, keep in mind, the city has improved on its 2012 performance. It has moved up six whole spots in the rankings.
Police aren't sugar coating their new policy. They acknowledge in a press release that the move "may be an inconvenience to our citizens." But they also say motorists won't be totally on their own. Police will respond to minor accidents if one driver refuses to turn over his or her info.
Also, officials were quick to point out: Las Vegas isn't the first.
San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles and other cities have similar policies, traffic chief Mark Tavarez told KLAS.
Los Angelinos in particular will likely have some sympathy for Las Vegas's decision.
Their city weighs in at 181 on Allstate's list.

ISLAMABAD, April 1 (UPI) -- Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan's former president and parliamentary hopeful, said the country is in a "do-or-die" situation from which only he can rescue it.
The controversial and fugitive retired army general made his comments in an interview with a radio station as he starts his campaign for election in the May 11 polls, a report by online news site FirstPost said.
Musharraf's campaign on behalf of his All Pakistan Muslim League Party begins after the Sindh High Court extended his bail for three weeks in consideration of three pending cases against him.
On court orders, the Federal Investigation Agency alerted airports and border points to stop Musharraf from leaving the country -- only a week after he returned from a 4-year self-imposed exile in London and Dubai.
Security staff helped Musharraf struggle through chanting crowds of supporters and detractors as he left court Friday and the former president had to dodge a shoe thrown at him -- a sign of great disrespect.
Musharraf, 69, is facing three charges, including failing to provide sufficient security to stop the assassination of former President Benazir Bhutto in December 2007 while she was campaigning against him.
He also is wanted in connection with the death of Baluchistan tribal leader Nawab Akbar Bugti, 79, in August 2006. Bugti, a former Baluchistan province minister turned nationalist rebel, was killed when a shell exploded in his mountain cave headquarters.
The Bugti case surrounds the circumstance in which the government raid on his cave took place and how the shell exploded.
Musharraf, who denies all charges of direct involvement in the Bugti death, hopes to lead the country into financial stability as it nears a crisis for which it may need help from the International Monetary Fund.
There is also a case against Musharraf for the firing and imprisonment of 62 higher judges in November 2007 while he was president.
Musharraf is running against former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, 63 -- the man he toppled in a bloodless military coup in October 1999. Sharif leads the breakaway Pakistan Muslim League -- Nawaz.
The governing Pakistan People's Party appears in disarray after President Asif Ali Zardari hurriedly left for Dubai where his son and senior party member Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, 24, went last week.
Zardari is a former co-chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party and the husband of Benazir Bhutto, who served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is regarded as a future leader of the PPP.
But this month Bilawal Bhutto Zardari resigned as co-chairman of the party over disagreements with its direction.
News reports suggested that Zardari is trying to persuade his son to return to Pakistan and play a key role in organizing the party for the upcoming elections even though Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is too young to seek a seat in Parliament. The age mandate is 26 years.
A report by Dawn newspaper said a presidential spokesman denied reports that Zardari went to Dubai to heal the rift between himself, the PPP and his son.
"Going to Dubai is a routine matter for President Zardari," Dawn quotes the presidential spokesman as saying.
A caretaker government, headed by former Judge Hazar Khan Khoso has been installed until the May elections.
Apart from legal issues that could derail Musharraf's chances of political power, there is a death threat from the Taliban.
After the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, Musharraf entered the so-called war on terror on the U.S. side, something for which the Taliban and its supporters have never forgiven him.

For five straight days, Greg Wong returned to the lonely stretch of highway on Wyoming's prairie where his wife was killed, searching not for closure but for Sammie and Maddie, the two small dogs traveling with her.
Hours after state police on May 30 called his home in Laramie, notifying him that his wife, Susan, had been killed on Highway 487, Wong made the first two-hour trip, arriving at 2 a.m., just as a tow truck pulled the SUV his wife had been driving from a deep ravine.
Police told Wong that his wife apparently lost control of the vehicle. It rolled over three times and landed in the ravine. Police told him no dogs were found inside the vehicle, or in the area.
Wong told the Casper Star-Tribune that as soon as he got the news, it was as if he heard his wife's voice in his head, saying "find the dogs."
"I guess a lot of it didn't soak in," he said. "…You get to that point where you almost turn into a zombie. You are afraid to start thinking about it too much because emotionally you can't handle it. I kept focusing on 'you have to find those dogs.' In a way, I was thinking my last connection to my wife was those dogs."

and not just for looking at either. for me, it started with my first McCarty. I love everything about it, from the neck to the stock McCarty pickups to the coil tap. and it sounds amazing. very soulful and rich-sounding. i gigged it for years up until i "retired" to focus on the growing family. it has never let me down and gives my Les Pauls a serious run for their money.
in addition to the McCarty, i currently have the following:
DGT - there is something really special about the DGT model, IMO. the pickups are incredible and the coil-tapping yields the best, most convincing single-coil sounds i've heard with no noticable signal loss! the pattern neck is very comfortable, and the trem is very smooth and stable. there's been times i've been playing it and it really even sounds like a 335. very cool. i tend to grab for this one a lot.
McCarty Hollowbody II - strung with .11s and sounds huge. i love PRS's wide-fat necks and this is no exception. freakly light, but still well-balanced. everything is just perfect about this guitar. i blame fellow forumite, Warriorpoet, for getting me curious about the PRS hollowbody model. he let me take stewardship over his beautiful goldtop spruce PRS hollowbody for a year or so, and as soon as I returned it, i knew i'd have to find one of my own.
MEQ (1 of 7 made for "Experience PRS" event) - finish is called "blueburst". the 53/10 pickups are just awesome. not overly hot, and not modern-sounding- a nice rich vintage sounding pickup that works great with the W-F solid rosewood neck. i'm not necessary a blue guitar kind of guy, but this is one of those that is stunning regardless and sounds too amazing to get overly hung up on a finish (which i do like, by the way). the paisley case is just icing on the cake.
MEQ Trem in Charcoal - what could be better than one MEQ? how about two. this one has a trem, so yeah. everything i like about the blue MEQ is in this guitar as well. if i were gigging again, i would probably take this one or the DGT along with me. seriously.
feel free to dismiss them as fancy furniture or gaudy lawyer toys, but each of these are excellent playing and sounding guitars that also happen to be gorgeous. the fit and finish is 100\% and the attention to detail is impressive. the solid rosewood necks on the MEQs have me addicted to that smooth, raw-wood feeling.
hopefully you can dig it, and if you have a PRS, post 'em up!

During Uganda's 2011 presidential election, when activists and poll workers tried to text criticisms of the incumbent or the evidence of polling fraud, they found their messages wouldn't go through.
Yet there was no problem sending innocuous messages about the weather or what they had for lunch.
"So much of communication in Africa and many other continents and countries are dependent on mobile providers that could turn against you all of a sudden -- or could go down," Jon Gosier told me in a recent phone interview. He is a man who is likely to change all that.
In Uganda's case, the government was monitoring text messages sent among activists and poll watchers. Gosier said that was designed to censor dissent.
John D. Sutter
John D. Sutter
The lessons: Texts aren't always private and governments are pretty much always nosy.
Those are just a couple of reasons Gosier's work with a new nonprofit called Abayima, Luganda for "guardian," is so crucial to the future of free speech in the developing world.
I like to think of Gosier as the savior of the SIM card, that humble piece of hardware that's stuck in the back of your cell phone and helps it communicate with the network.
That old school and overlooked piece of technology could help human rights advocates, protesters and relief workers communicate during a crisis -- both by serving as an encrypted tool for passing messages and, potentially, helping cell phones communicate with rogue network towers that go up when governments take down communications or natural disasters crumble the existing infrastructure.
At a time when governments are getting savvier about using technology to stamp out free speech, these sorts of scrappy tech tools are needed more than ever.
Earlier this week, Twitter released a "transparency report" saying government requests for its data increased 19% during the second half of last year. Google has called the rise in government censorship requests alarming. While some countries made gains in 2012 in terms of granting free expression, several, including Italy, Mali and Tajikistan, lost points in a recent ranking from Freedom House.
Abayima's efforts to fight censorship are the reason it's part of my new CNN Opinion column, which focuses on human rights and social justice issues.
I'm a former technology writer, so some columns will highlight technological innovation. Others will focus on how people are using the Internet to create social change and on human rights crises that aren't making it into mainstream headlines. Last year, I worked with the CNN Freedom Project to produce a story on slavery in Mauritania. I've also covered topics like Internet and gaming addiction in South Korea and prisons in Norway.
Soon, you will see me writing and fronting a project called Change the List. The pilot was on Hawaii, the state with the lowest voter turnout. I reported from there and enlisted people on the Internet to try to help move that state up "the List."
Not that I can take credit (and not that it's an insanely huge victory), but the state tied for 49th place in 2012, instead of 50th. It's not everything, but it's progress.
Anyway, back to SIM cards.
Other people also are catching on to Gosier's concept, too.
"In parts of the world where the Internet is either down or monitored," Justin Ellis writes for the Nieman Journalism Lab, "Abayima would give activists, human rights workers, and journalists the ability to communicate simply by swapping SIMs."
The blog TechPresident calls it a "handy lo-tech solution to fight censorship."
The Knight Foundation recently gave the nonprofit a $150,000 grant.
In a sense, the already-old-news SIM card could take on a new life as the technological grandchild of the fax machine, which helped activists in the Soviet Union communicate with the broader world and each other; or the cassette tape, which helped anti-Apartheid radio hosts in South Africa disseminate their broadcasts to townships.
So the SIM is the new fax machine, but in a good way.
If all of it sounds a little utopian, maybe it is. Gosier is gambling that several systems fall into place to make these types of communication work-arounds possible. But he's betting on the right technologies. There are 4.5 billion mobile phones in the developing world, according to data compiled by USAID, and many of them are "feature phones" -- not-so-smart devices that only make calls and send text messages.
When crisis hits, the phone is the device people turn to first for help.
Gosier's work builds on that of other crisis-technology developers. And its first step is a tiny one: to create software that will make it easier for programmers to control and write to SIM cards. That's harder than it might sound, though, since the good-guy hackers have to use 1s and 0s, not elaborate code, to talk with the hardware SIMs.
With a staff of three, Abayima is working on open-source software, called Open Sim Kit, to do just that. But the group is seeking volunteers to help. If you know anyone who is fluent in machine language, e-mail Gosier at firstname.lastname@example.com.
From there, it could become possible for the SIMs to communicate with rogue cell phone towers -- maybe 10 feet tall -- that could be set up in response to a humanitarian crisis like the Haiti earthquake or a communications blackout like those seen in Egypt, Libya or Syria. Those towers and the altered SIM cards could make it possible for small groups of people to communicate over a network, Gosier said.
"The technology is there," Gosier told me. "The problem has been the phones people have can't talk to the towers. So this open source software we're trying to build would allow you to essentially flash SIM cards and distribute them to people. ... At that point they could talk to whatever networks they want."
Until then, the Open Sim Kit could be used by activists to pass digital information to each other, often by hand. Sasha Kinney, who works with journalists and activists in Kenya as part of a group called Pawa254, said even that simple update "would definitely be something of interest" for journalists trying to evade government censorship.
"The more offline we can get and the more creative we can get the better it is for us," she said. "And everybody's got a cell phone here."
Election monitors in Kenya also plan to use SIM cards to record information about polling places and election-related violence, Gosier said. They'll pass them off to coordinators by hand, who then will take them to a place where the data can be uploaded to the Internet.
In a sense, that makes the SIM card a substitute for paper. But, unlike paper, SIM cards can be encrypted and stored discretely. They're less likely to catch the eyes of authorities.
"Think of it like passing around a thumb drive," he said.
A thumb drive that costs about 25-cents -- and doesn't require a computer.
Which is why the SIM card -- and other affordable, ubiquitous technologies -- is likely to make a comeback as a modern vehicle for free speech.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Two recent shootings at game rooms in Port Arthur left two people wounded and highlight the dangers faced by players and operators at what police say are dens of illegal gambling and hotbeds of criminal activity.
Several months of investigation by Examiner staffers have revealed a saturation of illegal casino-style gambling outlets in Southeast Texas, with some game room owners grossing $3 million or more in unreported earnings a month. Dozens of game rooms have been identified all over the Golden Triangle, raking in thousands of dollars a day in proceeds for the business owners, and paying out cash under the table to patrons. Still, local law enforcement officers say they are limited in what they can do to stop it.
The problem
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Creamy Mashed Potatoes with Corn, Chipotle Peppers and Cilantro
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This is a great mashed potato recipe for the holidays or in the summer with fresh-from-the-garden corn. When I can't get fresh corn at our local farmer's market, I use frozen corn. With the potato as a backdrop to the other flavors that get folded in, this dish is colorful and festive and can be as spicy (or not) as you desire. If you want to eliminate the spicy heat, the chipotle peppers can be eliminated altogether. These potatoes are also to-die-for heated up and fried with some butter the next morning with a breakfast of eggs and bacon. —TheWimpyVegetarian
Serves: 6-8
russet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 3/4" slices (about 4 pounds)
tablespoons butter, unsalted
tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
teaspoons garlic, minced
ears fresh corn, or 1 cup frozen kernels
cup heavy whipping cream (or more, to attain the consitency you want)
cup monterey jack cheese (plain), grated
tablespoon parmesan cheese, grated
tablespoon minced chipotle chilies in adobo sauce (depending on how spicy you like it)
cup cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
- Place the peeled and sliced potatoes in a pot of salted cold water. Bring to a boil and cook potatoes until tender (about 15 minutes). Drain well in a colander and puree through a food mill or potato ricer into a bowl. Do not use a food processor unless you want a "gluey" consistency. Set aside.
- If working with fresh corn, grill the corn on the grill starting to brown in places. Cut the kernels from each cob into a bowl and set aside. (If working with frozen corn, defrost the corn and place in a dry pan. Heat over high heat and shaking the pan every 20 seconds to evenly brown the kernels. Once they begin to brown, remove from the heat and set aside.)
- Heat the olive oil in a saucepan large enough to use to make the mashed pototoes. Add the garlic and saute until very aromatic and just starting to turn a very light brown. Add the butter, grilled corn and potatoes. Stir to mix together.
- Add the whipping cream, cheeses and minced chipotle peppers. Add additional whipping cream if the pototoes are stiffer than you like. Salt and pepper to taste. Just before serving, fold in the cilantro leaves.

NEW YORK (AP) — The longtime administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes is retiring.
Columbia University announced Wednesday that Sig Gissler will retire as administrator of the prizes this summer.
The 78-year-old Gissler has been Pulitzer administrator since 2002.
The Pulitzer board opened its journalism competition during that time to entries from online-only news organizations and encouraged a full range of digital components such as video and other multimedia formats.
Board Chairman Paul Tash says Gissler has been "a devoted and wise steward" of the prizes.
Gissler was editor of The Milwaukee Journal and a faculty member of the Columbia Journalism School before becoming the Pulitzer administrator. He continued to teach part-time after his appointment as prize administrator.
The Pulitzer Board has formed a committee to nominate the next administrator.

WORCESTER � A good AHL team won't make as many mistakes in a 76-game season as the Sharks made in this three-game weekend, which is why they don't qualify as a good AHL team.
In fact, the weekend was a rock-bottom moment for Sharks hockey in eight seasons here. Worcester was blanked in a three-in-three, losing the last two games at the DCU Center. Sunday afternoon's loss was to Portland by a 4-3 score.
This was the most disappointing of the three, it's fair to say, since Worcester came from behind to take a 3-2 lead early in the third period, then gave up two unanswered goals � both by Chris Brown � to lose it.
The Sharks are 3-7-0 in their first 10 games.
"We knew what we had to do," said Sena Acolatse, who assisted on two of the Sharks' goals. "We knew we had to be way better than (Saturday) night, and we were ready. We had chances and didn't capitalize on them, and they capitalized on the ones they had. That was the difference.
"But losing (stinks), either way."
Tobias Rieder had the other two goals for Portland, while Tim Kennedy added two assists. Adam Comrie, Nick Petrecki and James Livingston scored the Sharks' goals.
Worcester's mistakes are developing a pattern. The Sharks give up an early goal, often on the first opposing shot of the game. They wind up in the penalty box too often, frequently with a teammate or two. They score to gain some momentum, then give it right back.
"That was discouraging, to battle back like that and not have anything to show for it," coach Roy Sommer said. "I thought we played hard, and we deserved a better fate."
Worcester outshot the opposition, 106-78, for the weekend but was outscored, 14-6. Looking at it this way, Sharks goalies surrendered 13 goals (one empty netter) on 77 shots, an .831 saves percentage. Opposing goalies stopped 100 of 106, a .943 saves percentage.
On Sunday, the Pirates scored two goals on six shots in the first period, two goals on four shots in the third period.
Sunday's goaltenders were Portland's Mark Visentin and Harri Sateri for the Sharks. Sateri's season has had a disastrous beginning, and the loss dropped his record to 1-6-0.
Worcester killed 19 penalties and 13 power plays for the weekend, and four times the Sharks were two men down. It happened again on Sunday, and again for a long time. Late in the second period, they had four minors from 15:05 to 19:15. Worcester's penalty killing was excellent and Portland did not score, but that takes its toll.
Rieder got the scoring under way at 3:55 of the first period, getting an unassisted goal. Taylor Doherty fell down as he came out from behind the net and the puck went directly to Rieder in the slot. His wrist shot hit the crossbar and went in.
Comrie put a wrist shot over Visentin's right shoulder at 12:17, tying the game on a power play, but Rieder put a 25-footer past Sateri at 16:59 to regain the lead for the Pirates.
Petrecki got his first goal of the season, and first overall since Jan. 11, at 6:58 of the second period to make it 2-2. He connected on a 40-foot wrist shot through a screen.
Livingston gave the Sharks their first lead of the weekend when he took a drop pass from Acolatse and snapped a 35-footer past Visentin at 3:52 of the third period, but Brown was left alone in front of Sateri at 8:01 and slipped a short shot through his pads.
With Worcester pressing a few minutes later, the puck wound up in no-man's land between Petrecki and Kennedy high in the Portland zone and Petrecki opted to back up, rather than try to send it back in deep.
Kennedy led his line down ice with a 3 on 2, passed it to Brown, and he got the game-winner from between the circles at 11:27.
Not long after, the Sharks' worst weekend in a couple of years was over.
