Brazil-U.S. dispute over planes for Afghanistan likely topic of presidential talks
SAO PAULO — When Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff meets with President Barack Obama on Monday at the White House, the two leaders are likely to publicly use phrases like "deepening friendship" and "partnership" and highlight collaborations in science and education.
They are less likely to call attention to a recent source of tension between the two countries — a dispute involving American military aircraft procurement.
The conflict began in December when Brazil's top aviation company and one of the world's largest plane manufacturers, Embraer, partnered with Sierra Nevada Corp. of Sparks, Nev., to win a U.S. Air Force contract for $355 million to make 20 fighter aircraft for Afghanistan's military.
The losing bidder, Hawker-Beechcraft Defense Corp., based in Wichita, Kan., complained of unfair treatment and sued. After the Department of Justice found documentation errors, the Air Force suspended the contract and is now conducting an internal investigation.
The about-face created consternation in Brazil. The country's foreign ministry expressed surprise and cautioned that "this development is not considered conducive to strengthening relations between the two countries on defense affairs."
Embraer is not a state company. But similar to U.S. officials lobbying foreign governments on behalf of American companies, Brazilian leaders promote their own country's interests.
Brazil's minister of trade and development, Fernando Pimentel, recently told reporters that he expects President Rousseff to raise the issue with Obama.
The case is important to Brazil. At a time when the country's economy remains highly dependent on the export of commodities such as soy beans and orange juice, and its manufacturing sector is losing out to Chinese imports and an overvalued currency, Embraer is a great source of pride here, a reminder of Brazil's industrial and technical capabilities.
The company, which has had a U.S. headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., since 1979, has tried previously to crack the U.S. defense sector. It has won two prior contracts and has leased planes to the U.S. Navy, though Congress later killed the program.
The then congressman from Wichita, Republican Todd Tiahrt, played a role in killing that contract in 2010, arguing, as his office did in a news release, that "the Navy's planned Brazilian lease project ... would have cost taxpayers more than the purchase price of an American-made version." Tiahrt left office last year after he ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate.
Winning the bid to provide light attack aircraft to the Afghan air force was seen finally as a success for Embraer overcoming American favoritism.
Brazilian officials say the reversal of the contract smacks of politics.
One question that has come up is whether the Air Force changed its bidding process to favor Hawker-Beechcraft's AT-6 over Embraer's A-29 SuperTucano. Both are single-engine turboprop aircraft designed for inexpensive operation.
According to an article in the magazine Inside the Air Force, the Air Force changed its requirements for the aircraft, calling for it to strafe an enemy target with its .50-caliber machine guns while carrying two 500-pound bombs. The previous requirement called for releasing one of the bombs before strafing.
"The change is critical because performing a strafing mission with two large bombs — which, including targeting equipment, weigh more than 1,200 pounds — puts a great amount of stress on a small airframe," the article noted. "Such a change would require an aircraft to have additional power to pull up while carrying both bombs during a strafing run."
Hawker-Beechcraft denies that it influenced the change.
The Wichita company has complaints of its own. For one, it argues that the entire review process lacked transparency and filed a complaint with the Government Accountability Office last year claiming it was not properly notified that it had lost the competition.
The GAO ruled against the company in December and said Hawker-Beechcraft had been excluded because "multiple deficiencies and significant weaknesses found in HBDC's proposal make it technically unacceptable and results in unacceptable mission capability risk."
Another question has arisen of Hawker-Beechcraft's current financial woes. News reports last week said the company is close to filing for bankruptcy.
Embraer, while financially healthy, is under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission for possible violations of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The act bars payments to foreign officials by U.S.-based firms in consideration for contracts. The SEC declined to comment on the investigation.
Local politics are also at issue. One of Hawker-Beechcraft's main arguments over the contract is that 1,400 American jobs in Wichita are at risk if it does not win the contract. Embraer responds that it has partnered with a Nevada-based company and that the jets would be made in Florida.
The decision on the Afghan jet contract could also affect other American businesses' prospects. Boeing, for example, is bidding to provide fighter aircraft to Brazil's air force.

The Saints scored on a quick play of their own and Griffin comes right back and hits Garcon for 88 yards. With three minutes left in the first quarter Griffin has 123 passing yards (12 rushing) and one touchdown on 7/7 passing. Not too shabby.

Paralegal/Legal Assisting
The SCF Paralegal/Legal Assisting Program is a voting member of the American Association
for Paralegal Educators (AAfPE) and is considered by that organization to be substantially
in compliance with American Bar Association (ABA) requirements for paralegal programs.
SCF instructors have diverse legal experiences and are highly qualified and dedicated
to ensuring that all students attain their maximum potential in their academic endeavors.
For more information, click here to visit the AAfPE Educational Standards page.
Paralegal Program
The Paralegal program at State College of Florida is not approved by the American Bar Association (ABA), but as a voting member of the American Association of Paralegal Education (AAfPE), it is considered by that organization to be in substantial compliance with the ABA guidelines for approval of paralegal programs. The courses are taught by attorneys and qualified paralegals. Many of our courses are project-oriented and offer hands-on experience.
AAfPE definition of Paralegals: Paralegals perform substantive and procedural legal work as authorized by law, which work, in the absence of the paralegal, would be performed by an attorney. Paralegals have knowledge of the law gained through education, or education and work experience, which qualifies them to perform legal work. Paralegals adhere to recognized ethical standards and rules of professional responsibility.
Lawyers delegate many tasks to the paralegals who assist them with their work, which may include helping to prepare for real estate closings, interviews, hearings, mediation, trials and corporate meetings, and draft discovery, correspondence, and pleadings.
Unauthorized Practice of Law (UPL) Statement: Paralegals work under the supervision of a licensed attorney and are not authorized to practice law in Florida.
Three paralegal/legal assisting options offered at SCF
There are many reasons why people choose legal training, and our students come from all walks of life. Some already have degrees and want to cross-train in order to perform legal functions in their careers, others want to become lawyers, and many want to be legal assistants or paralegals.
Advanced Technical Certificate
If you already hold a college degree and want to get certified as a paralegal, consider the Advanced Technical Certificate (ATC). This is the most convenient of the programs offered, and it provides everything you need to sit for the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA) Certified Legal Assistant (CLA)/Certified Paralegal (CP) examination. Because of your previous degree, you already have the general education courses recommended by the ABA and AAfPE. As a result, you only need to take PLA courses (law courses).
Associate in Science (A.S.) degree
If you don't have a degree and your goal is to get a paralegal degree and go to work, you will want the Associate in Science degree. The A.S. degree will prepare you for a paralegal/legal assisting career in a law office. At the same time, it will also prepare you for the NALA CLA/CP exam.
Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree
If you want to continue law education, the Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree prepares you for transfer at the junior level to an accredited four-year college or university where you will be able to complete your bachelor's degree. The A.A. degree requires a minimum of 12 general education courses.
Additional materials about the program are available in the Social & Behavioral Sciences office, Building 9 at SCF Bradenton or by emailing email@example.com .

Hodgson's woes mount as Cahill ruled out of Euro
England defender Gary Cahill has been ruled out of Euro 2012 with a double fracture of the jaw, the Football Association (FA) announced on Sunday.sports Updated: Jun 08, 2012 15:33 IST
England defender Gary Cahill has been ruled out of Euro 2012 with a double fracture of the jaw, the Football Association (FA) announced on Sunday.
The 26-year-old, who won the FA Cup and Champions League with Chelsea last season, suffered the injury when he was shoved in the back by Belgium's Dries Mertens during the first half of a 1-0 international friendly win at Wembley on Saturday and, as a result, collided with England goalkeeper Joe Hart.
He was sent for X-rays and now has become the third player to drop out of England manager Roy Hodgson's squad this week after midfielders Gareth Barry and Frank Lampard's hopes of playing in Poland and Ukraine were dashed by injury.
Liverpool's Martin Kelly was called up on Sunday as a replacement, with Hodgson having already omitted veteran Manchester United centre-back Rio Ferdinand from his original squad.
An FA statement issued on Sunday said: "Gary Cahill has been withdrawn from England's Euro 2012 squad following the injury he suffered in the match against Belgium.
"The Chelsea defender has two fractures of his jaw, one either side. The England medical team have been in close contact overnight with Cahill's club doctors, who will treat him moving forward.
"Liverpool defender Martin Kelly will be called into the squad -- subject to agreement from UEFA's medical team.
"Kelly trained with the England players last week and was part of the group that travelled to Norway (where England won 1-0 in Oslo to give Hodgson a win in his first game as England boss)."
Some good news on the injury front did arrive on Sunday when John Terry, Cahill's Chelsea and England central defensive colleague, was passed fit after suffering a hamstring problem against Belgium.
"John Terry has been scanned this morning and given the all-clear," the FA said. "He will be re-assessed on Tuesday when the team regroup."
Hodgson immediately feared the worst regarding Cahill's injury, saying after the match: "The referee gave him (Mertens) a yellow card, which he deserved.
"Unfortunately for us, the consequences might be a lot more than a yellow card because a fracture is a distinct possibility."
Now Hodgson has been proved right and he heads to his first major tournament as England manager minus several players from his original squad, with third-choice goalkeeper John Ruddy's finger injury on the second day of training starting a run of fitness problems.
Saturday's match was England's last before they begin their Euro 2012 Group D campaign against France in Donetsk on June 11 -- a game in which Cahill looked likely to start alongside club-mate Terry.
But now the Chelsea captain, if fit, could be partnered by either Everton's Phil Jagielka or Manchester City's Joleon Lescott.
Manchester United's Phil Jones is the only other recognised defender in the squad, although he could be needed to bolster midfield in the absence of Lampard and Barry.
Kelly, who made his England debut off the bench against Norway, is another option, although the full-back is a novice at international level.
Hodgson insisted he had left 81-cap Ferdinand out of his original squad for "purely" footballing reasons and not because Terry is facing a July court case on allegations he racially abused Ferdinand's younger brother, Anton, during Chelsea's Premier League clash with QPR last October accusations the Chelsea skipper denies.
Rio Ferdinand, a regular with Manchester United as they just failed to defend their Premier League title last season, reacted to his ongoing England exile by asking his Twitter followers: "What reasons?????!!!"
As well as Terry, England also have concerns over Danny Welbeck, who scored against Belgium, Steven Gerrard and Scott Parker.

New Zealand ice climbing
Ice climbing is great in New Zealand. Many people don't realise that with the right location, frozen waterfalls are not as daunting as it might seem.
1 / 3
There are many types of ice climbing. Some people climb high into the mountains and follow the thin veins of snow and ice that exist year round at higher elevations. This type of climbing is usually called "alpine climbing". Liquid water is rare at these elevations and ice is usually formed from snow that is hardened by the elements.
Other people wait for the early winter conditions where ice forms at lower elevations. This lower elevation ice is often called water ice or waterfall climbing. Cold nights and warmer days combine to freeze otherwise free running water into frozen curtains of hard ice.
Beginners as well as more experienced climbers enjoy waterfall ice. Similar to top roping at an indoor climbing wall, waterfall ice can be "top roped" or more experienced climbers can learn to lead climb.
In New Zealand this type of climbing is limited the June-August when the low angle of the sun keeps temperatures cold. While we do not get ice down to roadside like some other countries, with a little searching, New Zealand has some classic water ice routes.
The trick is to find a hut to base your climbing out of. Since most water ice is located in remote valleys and always on steep south facing walls (the shady side in New Zealand), camping in tents in these locations is a cold business. Returning to camp after a big day ice climbing it is good to have some warm shelter where gear can be dried out and cold bodies regenerated.
Since backcountry huts tend to be located in more sunny and warm locations, finding a sheltered base to ice climb is a rare and beautiful thing in New Zealand. Huts operated by the New Zealand Alpine Club tend to be at higher elevations far from the water ice.
Black Peak Hut is operated by Aspiring Guides in Wanaka and is one of the few huts that is close to the ice. Being a private hut it offers the comfort of hard shelter without the inconvenience of arriving only to find the hut full. At least some of the hard work is taken care of since the hut is stocked with sleeping bags and food meaning there is no need to carry heavy packs. It is the little luxuries like real coffee that make "roughing it" a little easier.

Anthony Seldon on venturing beyond happiness
Sir Anthony Seldon is the former headmaster of Wellington College, one of the first schools to introduce well-being classes into its curriculum. He's also a co-founder of Action for Happiness. In his new book, Beyond Happiness, he suggests we need to look beyond 'workaday happiness' to find something more non-rational and spiritual, which he calls joy or bliss. I interviewed him about this, as well as his thoughts on the 'politics of well-being' and his plans to create the first 'positive university'.
Did you start out to write a book on happiness, and at some point decided you wanted to write one called Beyond Happiness?
Yes. I'd been quite prominent in Action for Happiness, and it occurred to me that we need to move beyond workaday happiness. Obviously that's wonderful, particularly if you've had depression, but there are higher levels of being.
The book starts with a quote attributed to Edith Wharton: 'If only we'd stop trying to be happy, we could have a pretty good time.' That's an unusual quote to begin a book on happiness by one of the founders of Action for Happiness!
Well, I just like that quote and find it funny. And the key word is 'trying'. Trying too hard gets in the way, or rather, the ego gets in the way. Whenever I screw up my life, it's because I'm trying too hard. I'm always trying. And then there are moments when you wake up from that. What I mean by 'beyond happiness' is going beyond the striving to gratify of the ego, to a place where there is a sublime effortlessness.
I have a theory that people interested in ethics and character education in later life were often quite rebellious and bad at school. It sounds like you were.
I was. In 1971, when I was studying at Tonbridge school, I was one of the ring-leaders of a rebellion against the Combined Cadet Force. We stormed onto the parade ground shouting about the Vietnam War, which in fact did finish shortly afterwards, although the Tonbridge CCF kept existing. The International Times covered it with a headline saying 'A whiff of If' - referring to the film about a rebellion at a private school made by a former Tonbridge pupil, Lindsay Anderson. All the ring-leaders were sent down, though I was allowed back to take my exams. So yes, I was rebellious, but I also had a sense of kindness and duty.
We have in common the fact that we both had a bad experience of drugs in our teens and then went to Worcester College, Oxford. Could you tell me about your bad drug experience.
It was in 1972, on a holiday in the Norfolk Broads. I smoked some dope and had a really frightening experience, I felt my mind was changing. It was so frightening I never tried a drug again, and developed a lifelong dislike of drugs.
Were you quite anxious as a teenager?
Very. I once made a list of all the things I was afraid of and it came to 29 things. I was afraid I might become anorexic, for example, or agoraphobic. One of my biggest fears is the fear of going to sleep, which I think is the fear of extinction. I'd have a huge panic attack to keep myself awake, and then I'd stay awake and be even more frightened the next night. It's not a nice fear to have. That's why I became so domineering - it was a way of trying to control my world.
Then you had some sort of depressive collapse in your mid-20s.
Yes. I think it was the amount of effort I spent trying to control my world. Also, two girlfriends had chucked me, and I felt abandoned by them. Then I was writing my doctorate at the LSE, which was a very lonely experience. After the collapse, I started to meditate, which helped me through. And I started going out with Joanna [now his wife], and she's very centred and calm. And I knew she would never leave me, which miraculously she hasn't.
You say that you moved from a personality based on restless hedonism, achievement and glamour to a more spiritual life based on acceptance. But you're still a restless achiever - you've finished three books since Christmas!
I am two people, at least. There is a more spiritual or philosophical side to me, which is at peace with the world, and that side is more dominant now. But there is also a part of me which feels I need to make my mark in the world, which worries that I've never written anything that will survive, that whatever I've done in education will fade. There's a bit of me that is highly self-critical, which trashes my previous experiences. Therefore I constantly need to keep going. I now find myself running a small university, for example.
And that restless desire to achieve and get recognized might come from being short - I say that as a 5 foot 7 anxious achiever!
I'd have given anything to be 5 foot 7! Yes, I'm sure our physical self-perception is a powerful force, and if we're outliers, it gives us an impetus to want to compensate. I notice still that when I'm around other people I'm edging up on my heels.
So the new book brings together wisdom from Positive Psychology but also from religious mystics like Meister Eckhart or Sri Ramana Maharshi. Do you think Positive Psychology can be a secular substitute for religion?
I'm sure for Alain de Botton and others it is. I'm sure some would like it to take the place of religion, which of course it won't. But there are similar adjuncts. But when I talk about going beyond happiness, I'm talking about moving beyond workaday happiness to find joy, which is spiritual. For me, that's about the divine, a blending of the ego into the Atman or Soul. It's not about the vindication of the ego but the elimination of it. The ego is constantly interpreting and evaluating - only that which is beyond the ego is really awake, conscious, and in love with the whole of creation. But it has to be experienced, it can't be debated or argued over.
So that means going beyond reason, I guess.
Reason has its place, but it only gets you so far - as far as Richard Dawkins or AC Grayling. We can go beyond reason, without abandoning it, and reach a much bigger view. The ego tends to use rationality for its own goals.
A key part of transcendence in most religious traditions involves realizing that death is not the end, that something in us survives. Do you believe in an afterlife?
I don't know. I want to move beyond belief. What I know is that when I'm still after meditating, I change. I'm more aware, more present. And then I come out of that state and I'm back in the world of ego-rationalizing. You know when you're awake, but you don't when you're not. For much of my life, I'm egotistic, rationalistic, self-centred, and driven by external stimuli.
The idea of teaching well-being and character has tended to be championed by private school headmasters like you and Eton headmaster John Lewis. Does that give it a class problem - it can seem like private-school teachers bemoaning the lack of character education in state schools.
Well, class can be a problem. But if we go back to Aristotle and the virtues, he was around even before Eton College. There are eternal character values - honesty, kindness, perseverance, which I think schools should emphasize more. But many schools vacate that space because they're afraid of it or because it's not recognized by Ofsted. Many people who run education are quite immature and think it's only about passing exams. I agree with Aristotle - it should be about flourishing.
Aristotle was tutor to Alexander the Great, and thought leaders should be educated in virtue so that they could encourage eudaimonia (or flourishing) in the citizens. You've written several political biographies, and have one about David Cameron coming out soon. Having seen political leaders up close, how virtuous would you say they are, and how capable of leading their societies to eudaimonia?
The leaders I have met and written about have mainly been extraordinarily capable and intelligent. The biggest thing they need is more solitary time in stillness, to get to know themselves and integrate themselves. Gordon Brown was an admirable person, but his greatest problem was he was very unintegrated. His self-image of himself was at variance with his very self-centred ego-driven approach. He needed to calm down and be more integrated. Blair too - he got carried away off himself. Both were good people, but in different ways they got carried away.
And finally, your next job is as vice-chancellor of the University of Buckingham, the first private university in the UK. How useful could well-being education be in higher education?
Very. I want to make the first positive university. That will include introducing mindfulness classes for all trainee doctors, to help them be more in the present moment in their dealing with patients.

My grandmother was a simple woman and she lived just as simply. When I was young, I stayed with her and she gave me the happiest days of my life. When I grew older and no longer lived with her, we started a goodbye routine which took place every single time I left her house. We would wave till we were out of each other's sight. This routine continued throughout the years, even when I became an adult. Even when grandma became weak, she would still make an effort to get to the gate with assistance to wave me. Then one day, she simply could not find the strength to do so and thigns happened so quickly thereafter.
From yesterday on, we no longer have to wave each other or say goodbye at all. She'll always see me from where she is, up above.
Till we meet again, grandma.
All my love,

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - If ever the tone of a college basketball game was set on the first possession, it was Friday night at the John J. Lee Amphitheater. Yale won the opening tap and proceeded to miss its first four shots. The Bulldogs, though, got the offensive rebound each time and finally took a 2-0 lead on Chris Andrews's jumper. That was the start of a dominating performance on the glass for Yale, which outrebounded Princeton 43-23 en route to a 60-48 victory over the first-place Tigers before an enthusiastic crowd of 1,874.
"We came out with great energy and really swarmed the boards," said James Jones, The Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Men's Basketball.
The Bulldogs (9-12, 4-3 Ivy) had 16 offensive rebounds in the game and outscored Princeton 21-5 on second-chance points.
Alex Zampier scored 13 points to lead Yale. Ross Morin added 10 points and 10 rebounds, his fourth double-double of the season. Travis Pinick scored 10 points and grabbed eight rebounds, and Garrett Fiddler had eight points and five rebounds.
"There aren't too many teams in the Ivy League with post players like Ross and Garrett," Pinick said. "Then, we have some bench guys that really attack the glass and that opens it up for our guards. When our inside-out game is working, we are tough to beat."
Michael Sands contributed six points and five rebounds off the bench. Porter Braswell had five points and Greg Mangano added four. Jordan Gibson had three blocks and a steal in 16 minutes and Paul Nelson had two blocks.
Douglas Davis paced Princeton (9-9, 4-1 Ivy) with 11 points, while Kareem Maddox added seven.
The loss snapped the Tigers' seven-game winning streak.
Yale was coming off a disappointing 57-54 loss at Dartmouth last Saturday.
"We went through practice this week with a chip on our shoulder," said Morin, who had six of his 10 rebounds come on the offensive end.
The Bulldogs held Princeton to 35.6 percent from the field in the game.
Princeton took its only lead of the night, 13-10, on Dan Mavraides' three-pointer with 13:35 left in the first half. The Bulldogs, though, scored the next eight points, six of which came from Sands.
The Tigers pulled to within 18-16, but Yale closed the half with a 13-2 run and led 31-20 at the intermission.
The Bulldogs, who improved to 5-1 at home this season, took their biggest lead, 57-33, on Mangano's jump shot midway through the second half.
Yale outscored Princeton 32-16 in the paint in the game.
"Our guys did a really good job of navigating seams and getting easy baskets," Jones said.
The Bulldogs will try to complete a weekend sweep when Penn visits on Saturday for a 7 p.m. tip. The Quakers defeated Brown 73-52 on Friday.
"Our backs are against the wall," Pinick said. "This weekend is an opportunity to jump start us."

In fact, some of our most important stories are the ones that speak truthfully but poorly about us. We must remember to tell these stories, as well, because they serve an essential role within our collective storybook: they don't allow us to be comfortable with the good in us and continue to confront us with the bad in us. For Christians, this can be a challenge because we have a tendency to gloss over travesties and atrocities within Christendom by labeling the perpetrators as "not really Christians." Indeed, they may not have been but there were, most assuredly, real followers of Christ who stood idly by and watched such things as the Inquisition and the Crusades for example. One of these stories is Kristallnacht--the Night of Broken Glass.
The Jews were ordered to leave Germany in October of 1938. 12,000 Jewish people of Polish descent were gathered up by the Gestapo and left at the border of Germany and Poland. 4,000 were admitted into Poland as refugees but 8,000 were left on the border to suffer and struggle as outcasts. Word was passed by letter and postcard and soon a Jewish relative of one of the 8,000 refugees--Herschel Grynszpan--who was living in Paris decided that he would exact revenge. He went to the Germany embassy in Paris on November 6th and shot the diplomat in the chest while claiming it to be "in the name of 12,000 persecuted Jews." Herschel had struck back but had also unknowingly given the German leaders a rationale for atrocity. Kristallnacht soon followed.
Clothing themselves in indignity and the cover of "self-defense," they censored all Jewish publications on November 8th. This represented a severing of the ties between disparate Jewish groups and silenced the voice of the Jewish people prior to Germany's atrocity. This move was the gag that made travesty more palatable in the days to come. Jewish children were expelled from their German schools and it soon became very clear that trouble was building like a thunderhead and would soon break.
two hundred synagogues were looted, ransacked, and burned to the ground.Thousands upon thousands of Jewish businesses were broken into. The broken glass from the storefronts covered the sidewalks in so many places that it gave the name to this event--the Night of Broken Glass. These shops were shut down. Ninety-two Jews were killed on the night of Kristallnacht as some resisted the evil that was being perpetrated. Somewhere between 25,000 and 30,000 Jews were gathered together at gunpoint by secret police, loaded onto trains, and shipped to concentration camps.
The reaction in the days to follow? Despicable for sure. Some clergy applauded the actions of the German leaders and the people who had rioted. They commended the people for their anti-semitism and used Luther's birthday as an additional point of celebration. The German people who had rioted and broken into stores had also been the ones who had killed some of the Jews who died that night. Yet, there was little outrage.There was little resistance. It seemed that the Church who claimed to follow after a tortured, persecuted, and Jewish savior did not see or want to see what was happening. They did not want to consider their complicity in this atrocity. They did not see how atrocious it truly was.
The "success" of Kristallnacht for the German leaders paved the way for greater tragedy. The relative lack of outrage and resistance convinced them that it was entirely possible to perpetrate worse evil since they had seen that the Church would not resist or exercise its prophetic voice en masse. The continued evil that followed may have been lessened or limited by an appropriately horrified response--yet, it didn't happen and the Nazi war machine continued on fueled by the lives of the outcasts it consumed.
Kristallnacht should not ever be forgotten. In fact, it is best for us to adopt new language and call it Kristallnacht no longer--let us join with others who recognize the evil in the night and call it for what it is: Reichspogromnacht. The story should be--must be--told and remain an irritant in the Church's eye. Awful things were done and the Church watched them happen.

Author to speak at library
Author Robert Collins will give a presentation on "Kansas County Seat Conflicts" at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Marion City Library.
Since the establishment of the Kansas Territory in 1855 well into the 20th century, communities have fought over being named the county seat. More than 60 of the state's 105 counties have seen some attempt, successful or not, to move the county seat from the original site. Some conflicts were brief, like a two-month effort in Reno County, and others have been long, like the eight-decade struggle over the seat of Logan County. Some have been notorious for violence, like the conflict between Woodsdale and Hugoton in Stevens County.
There will be time for questions after the presentation, and Collins' books will be on sale. The presentation is open to the public. Call (620) 382-2442 for more information.

Dell is expanding its services based on SAP's HANA in-memory database to help organisations in Europe make informed decisions, improve operations and increase performance.
SAP HANA provides the infrastructure for multiple "big data" business applications, such as analytics and business intelligence. The database pulls operational information from various data sources into a single environment and instantly analyses transactions to generate business insights.
Dell Services already provides assessment, analytic solution design and development, deployment and maintenance services in the US for SAP HANA running on certified Dell PowerEdge servers. Now the company will offer these services in Europe as well.
Dell's offerings include 24x7 managed services, configuration of SAP data replication services, and assistance in migrating to HANA from SAP's Netweaver Business Warehouse.
Application development services such as data integration, data modeling, statistical modeling and performance dashboard/reporting design are also available, and Dell will provide rapid deployment services to customers across Europe.
"With SAP HANA our customers are able to gain a competitive advantage by gathering critical insights from their data quickly and managing IT operations efficiently," said Andreas Stein, Application Services, Dell EMEA.
"Dell is able to accelerate that by making it easy to deploy and manage SAP HANA so customers are in a position to realise the full benefits of their investments in SAP solutions."
Karl Schindler, head of IT at Koehler Paper Group, added that Dell's appliance certified to run SAP HANA and services had a real impact on the company's day-to-day productivity.
"Not only did we have the entire implementation complete in just three days, but also we were able to cut data load times from five minutes to five seconds and reduce the cost of our business warehouse system by one third," he said.

Colts safety Joe Lefeged latest NFL player arrested in gun possession
The NFL offseason police blotter grew by one early Saturday with the arrest of Indianapolis Colts safety Joe Lefeged on gun-related charges in Washington, D.C.
Lefeged, 25, and 23-year-old Aaron Wilson of Potomac, Md., were arraigned Saturday on charges including carrying a firearm without license, unregistered firearm, unregistered ammunition and presence of a firearm in a motor vehicle, according to the Indianapolis Star, citing a D.C. police spokesperson.
Court records show Lefeged was charged with carrying an unlicensed pistol and was being held until a preliminary hearing Tuesday, according to The Associated Press. Officers smelled marijuana in the car, the news agency said.
Lefeged and another passenger were caught when they tried to run from the car in different directions, police said. The driver got away.

Lefeged was raised in the city's Maryland suburbs.
Police say officers stopped the car for speeding and because Wilson was standing upright in the backseat of the convertible. After police told the driver to put the car in park, the driver sped off, nearly striking the officers, the court records show.
Police say they recovered the car nearby and arrested Lefeged as he tried to flee. They found a .40-caliber semi-automatic handgun "in plain view sticking out from underneath the front passenger seat."
Lefeged was in the passenger seat and that the gun was found under his seat, CNN correspondent Pamela Brown reported on her Twitter feed. Citing a source, Brown said police also found plastic orange juice bottles in the car, with an "odor consistent (with) vodka."
A Colts representative told the Star that the team had no information on the incident. Later, the team released the following statement:
"We are aware of the reports regarding Joe Lefeged in Washington, D.C. At this time, we will have no further comment on the pending matter until we gain more information."
According to The Washington Post, Lefeged had gun registration paperwork for Maryland but not for the District of Columbia, which has strict firearms regulations. Lefeged purchased in February for $900, according to the Post, which noted police said the receipt for the gun was in the car.
Lefeged is entering his third season with the Colts, who signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Rutgers. He started four games last season and had two tackles and a forced fumble in a playoffs loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Now I love pimiento cheese all ways - good ole basic homemade, made with roasted red peppers, and yeah, even the fluorescent orange, goopey store-bought stuff - but if you usually buy the grocery store pimiento cheese spread, then this recipe is a bit different than the spread you are accustomed to.
Much less mayonnaise than most home recipes, and an addition of cream cheese and pecans (which you can leave out if you prefer) and garlic, it's a bit of a unexpected flavor surprise to the mouth, though be sure to label it for those with nut allergies!
If you prefer some texture in your spread, then finish this recipe by stirring in the final ingredients, or you can do as I did in the photo above, and puree it all together in the food processor, so that it is blended and smooth.
This is a delicious change from the usual, but if you prefer, I've got a recipe for Basic Pimento Spread and a slightly spicy, Roasted Red Pepper Pimento Cheese that is just delicious!
Recipe: Pecan and Pimento Cheese©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
- 1 cup of pecans (can omit)
- 12 ounces of extra-sharp Cheddar cheese
- 2 teaspoons of finely mined garlic
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
- 4 tablespoons real mayonnaise
- 3 ounces of cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- Couple dashes of Tiger sauce or Pickapepper sauce
- Couple dashes of hot sauce
- 1 (4 ounce) jar of diced pimientos, undrained (more or less as desired)
- 1-1/2 pound loaf of Bunny Giant Sandwich white bread
Process the pecans in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Turn out into a bowl. Shred the cheese and add to the pecans. Process the garlic in the food processor until well chopped; add the parsley and process a bit longer. Add the mayonnaise, cream cheese, garlic, and sauces and puree until smooth. Turn out into pecan and cheese mixture; stir well to combine. If you don't want it chunky, turn everything back into the food processor, and puree all together. Turn out into bowl, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
Bring the pimiento cheese mixture to room temperature. Spread, stack and slice as above to remove all the crusts. Cut the sandwiches into desired sizes and arrange on a doily lined platter.

Coffee!! Just because I don't feel like going back to work just yet ...
Apparently, according to an article in Current Biology,
Polyandry [a girl is married to a bunch of guys] can regulate the frequency of a sex-ratio-distorting meiotic driver This can prevent extinction in populations and potentially species Reduced extinction risk may help explain why polyandry is so widespread in natureI hold no brief for fruit flies, the article's interest, but in humans, polyandry is almost always a result of extreme hardship.
I am told that in former times, polyandry sometimes happened in the Far North in Canada. Due to famine, girl babies mysteriously found their way through a hole in the pack ice.
Whodathunkit? ... and 15 years later ...
Most human cultures think marriage should be Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.
But very, very few human cultures have EVER thought that marriage should be Adam, Louie, Luigi, Sig, Syed, and ... here comes the bride!! here comes the bride!! ... one little Eve for the lot of them.
Try selling that in the locker room ... so long as you do not share a health insurer with me.
Anyway, here's the official stuff:

Polyandry Prevents Extinction
Tom A.R. Price,Greg D.D. Hurst,Nina Wedell
Polyandry can regulate the frequency of a sex-ratio-distorting meiotic driver This can prevent extinction in populations and potentially species Reduced extinction risk may help explain why polyandry is so widespread in nature
Females of most animal species are polyandrous, with individual females usually mating with more than one male [1, 2,1, 2]. However, the ubiquity of polyandry remains enigmatic [3, 4,3, 4] because of the potentially high costs to females of multiple mating [5, 6,5, 6]. Current theory to account for the high prevalence of polyandry largely focuses on its benefits to individual females [7, 8,7, 8]. There are also higher-level explanations for the high incidence of polyandry—polyandrous clades may speciate more rapidly [6]. Here we test the hypothesis that polyandry may also reduce population extinction risk. We demonstrate that mating with multiple males protects populations of the fruit fly Drosophila pseudoobscuraagainst extinction caused by a "selfish" sex-ratio-distorting element. Thus, the frequency of female multiple mating in nature may be associated not only with individual benefits to females of this behavior but also with increased persistence over time of polyandrous species and populations. Furthermore, we show that female remating behavior can determine the frequency of sex-ratio distorters in populations. This may also be true for many other selfish genetic elements in natural populations.

Why the Founder of Papa John's Doesn't Believe in Managing Employees
John Schnatter, the founder of the pizza franchise Papa John's, learned a critical management lesson from his father: Train for aptitude, hire for attitude.
Schnatter's father, who owned a tavern called Mick's Lounge, had decided to hire a woman named Denise Robinson to be a cook. The catch? She didn't know how to cook.
Schnatter initially thought his father had was crazy for hiring a cook with no skills in the kitchen. But his father insisted she'd be a great employee because of her great attitude. Robinson has been with Mick's Tavern and now Papa John's for more than three decades.
Schnatter's pizza operation -- which started in a broom closet in the back of Mick's Tavern -- is a global franchise that racked up $1.4 billion in sales last year alone. Since his broom-closet days, Schnatter has learned a thing or two about being a boss. Top among them is the idea that you need to empower your employees to swim on their own.
"I don't think you can control people. I don't think you manage people. I think you give people a direction, you give them the resources, you lead by example," he told Entrepreneur.com in Washington, D.C., during National Small Business Week. "That goes from top to bottom, then I think people will manage themselves, they will motivate themselves."
Watch this video to hear more about Schnatter's views on being a boss.

X-Factor hockey camp skates Craig's ice arena
By ELWOOD K. SHELTON
Daily Press writer
Among the hoards of youth hockey players Dave Strang and his partner, John Seymoure, look like gliding giants.
Through sticks, pucks and youngsters they skate, leading the first hockey camp to come to the Craig Ice Arena the X-Factor Camp from Steamboat Springs.
The camp is the brainchild of Strang and Seymoure, who led team camps for years, before deciding to put it together as a business.
"John and I had been doing small clinics around Steamboat for years," Strang said. "We just decided one day that we'd take the show on the road and we started X-Factor."
The camp, which started Tuesday and runs until Friday, is mainly a warm up for the upcoming hockey season, Strang said. The primary goal of the camp instructors is to get children who have never skated comfortable on the ice, and the veterans loosened up and excited for the season.
The duo gets the youth hockey players ready for the season through an hours worth of drills and games all aimed at increasing the player's amount of skills, and familiarity with the ice.
"With the real young guys the biggest thing we want to do is get them skating, and comfortable with being out on the ice," Strang said. "We'll work a little puck handling with them, and some shot technique, but most of all we want them comfortable on the ice.
With our camp for older players, we'll get into more actual skills drills, since most are experienced skaters. It actually is more of a prep for when the season rolls around."
Pre-season camps are not the only area in which X-Factor dabbles. Strang and Seymoure also put on a number of specialty camps around the state, which are geared for specific positions in hockey.
They will also sponsor their first team camp next summer at the Howelsen Ice Arena.
The main reason why X-Factor is able to put on a pre-season camp is due to the Craig Youth Hockey Association and its president Randy Armstrong.
"We felt that we should put on a camp for all the kids who couldn't travel to make one this summer," Armstrong said. "We've got a pretty good turn out of kids involved in the novice and competitive leagues. I'd probably say that 85 to 90 percent of the Craig Youth Hockey Association is present at the camp. Those who didn't make it were the ones who traveled to camps all summer, and their parents just couldn't handle another one."
The 85-to-90 percent of youth hockey players Armstrong talks about translates to more than 45 participants in the camp.
The ability to bring a camp to Craig this year has solely depended on the ability to bring set ice early in the season, something else Armstrong and the youth hockey association also have a hand in.
"We talked with Steve Grandbouch, who runs the ice rink, about getting ice out early this year," Armstrong said. "We said if the ice was down we'd buy time on it for the camp. They did, and we did, too."

I would hope the citizens of Brunswick County would join me in communicating to the North Carolina Commissioner of Insurance that the 30 percent rate increase ($400 annually for most of us) in the property insurance premiums requested by the N.C. Insurance Underwriting Association is totally without merit.
Our property values have decreased by 25 percent with no comparable premium reduction whatsoever.

Setting Up an LS Engine for a Classic Truck
Over the course of the last couple months, I've really fallen in love with driving my C10 around, especially now that it's got the Holley Avenger fuel injection system installed as well as the power steering and resized steering wheel. It actually feels like a new truck and exhibits all the traits one would expect. This makes me feel a little hesitant, perhaps almost guilty, to tear it all apart to install a new LS327 crate engine from Chevy Performance. The stock 307 runs really strong and ticks over like a finely tuned Swiss clock and I'm a bit nervous to mess with such a reliable setup. But I'm a hot rodder at heart and it's just not natural to ignore something better off left alone. Plus the power and reliability that the LS series engines offer is too tempting not to jump in the fire and experience it firsthand.
When I started the '68 C10 buildup back in the June 2011 issue, I had two different iterations of what I wanted to do. The first, which we've pretty much completed up to now, was to drop the truck and improve the handling and driving characteristics as well as overhauling the drivetrain and interior components to a restored-type status. During this initial segment, I didn't want to deviate from stock too much when it came to the interior, exterior, or the engine compartment. That meant simple restoration upgrades like new weather stripping, window rubber and felt, a new floor mat, hood bumpers, etc., as well as cleaning up the engine bay and restoring the look back to a similar '60s factory appearance. Though I did lower the truck and bolted up a new set of rollers, I left the bed long and didn't alter the exterior appearance other than restoring the two-tone white on the cab and replacing all the brightwork.
But starting this month, it's time for all that to change. I discussed in this month's Haul Monitor what we've got planned for the Laggard Longbed build version 2.0, so I won't bore you with repeating the details here, aside from the preliminary bit on preparing the LS engine and pointing out a few things worthy of mention.
As previously stated, the plan is to install a Chevy Performance 5.3L/327ci LS engine between the 'rails of the '68, replacing the stock 307ci engine that came with the truck from the factory. Based on the '99-06 series of GM truck engines, the LS327 consists of an iron block with a 96mm bore and a 92mm stroke, topped with the same production aluminum heads and hopped up straight from GM with a Chevy Performance cam and Grafal-coated pistons. With these simple upgrades, the numbers jump up from a respectable 295 hp/325 lb-ft of torque to a much more impressive 327 hp/347 lb-ft. What makes the swap to the LS really cool is all the aftermarket hop-up products available that can easily take the LS into the 600 hp and beyond realm. We're not gonna aim that high right off the bat, but we may do something a little more radical in the months to come.
This month, however, we're going to get our little LS engine prepped and the initial bolt-ons installed before its time to mate the engine to the trans and slip her in the '68. Over the course of the next few months we'll keep messing with the combo, whether it's in the truck or not, to give ya'll a look at what's possible with today's technology.
One thing to keep in mind, although we're using a brand-new crate engine from Chevy Performance, nearly everything we cover can be done on a junkyard GM truck engine for pennies on the dollar, if that's your thing. The only drawback is that you don't know what you're getting when you pull a used engine. But if rebuilding engines is something you enjoy, that would be a great way to put together a stump-pulling Chevy engine that runs like a clock, makes gobs of power, and accepts all the latest and greatest GM and the hot rod aftermarket have to offer.

Treatment for Esophagitis
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My brother in law's last radiation treatment was 2 weeks ago. He still has pain and trouble swallowing. I believe the term is acute esophagitis. Can you tell me how long this lasts after radiation treatment is stopped?
Ruth Collins, MSN, CRNP, OCN, Advanced Practice Nurse in the Research Division of the Department of Radiation Oncology, responds:
When radiation therapy is the only treatment being used, esophagitis, usually has its onset at about 20-30 Gy, or two to three weeks into treatment. The condition usually begins to subside 10 days to 2 weeks post radiation. This is best accomplished if the person's nutritional status is maintained at an optimal level. If chemotherapy is being administered at the same time as the radiation, the esophagitis can take longer to subside. Immunocompromised patients with persistent symptoms should be should be assessed for potential infections such as esophageal candida.
Symptom regression can further be delayed by: acid reflux; poor nutritional status, foods strongly spiced or seasoned, dry coarse foods, hot foods and fluids, citrus or acidic or citrus food or juices; alcohol; smoking; medications such as aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications or steroids.
Treatment for esopagitis consists of:
- Bland, soft diet
- Topical anesthetics, such as 2% viscous xylocaine
- Systemic pain medications (analgesics either narcotic or non narcotic)
- Mixture of equal parts of:
- Topical anesthetic (2% viscous xylocaine)
- Antacid (Maalox, Mylanta)
- Antihistamine (Benadryl)
- Appropriate antibiotic or anti- fungal for infection.
- Sucralfate suspension to coat esophagus between meals
- Treat acid reflux with medication and elevation of head of bed.

It's early March. The boatyard is gray and empty, with few signs of life… that is, aside from the raccoon tracks all over my decks. It seems some enterprising creature discovered by climbing the beams in the shed they could step across to my anchor and slip aboard. From there it was a simple matter of pushing in the screen in the forward cabin port, down the bookshelves, across the bunk and up to the galley, where ultimately they discovered that single bag of stale pretzels I'd left aboard as emergency rations. I can't begrudge my uninvited guest their meal, especially since aside from the pillaged bag of pretzels there was no other damage, though I've lowered my anchor a few feet so it no longer provides a convenient gangplank for the four-footed bandit.
There are a few other signs that life is returning to the yard. The ice has receded from the river and crews are prepping the yard boat and the lifts. Docks are going back in. A cover or two has been pulled back and a lone extension cord snakes across the gravel. Next to the office, between melting piles of grungy snow a few crocuses have broken through the soil. Within weeks this place will be bustling with energy as boats shed their cocoons and the warming air is filled with the smell of solvents and fresh paint. The hum of sanders and the whine of the travel lift will drone from morning till night as boats move from the yard to the docks.
It's a busy time, but a good busy. It's a time to reconnect with friends you haven't seen all winter, to catch up on life as you get things in order for those summer days ahead. There are those familiar faces, the ones that return year after year, though often I know them only by the name across their boat's hull. There's the older couple on 'Fairwinds', working away on that same boat they bought back when the kids, all grown and on their own now, were little. The fishermen with 'Reel Good', eager to launch early for the annual striped bass derby. And there will be new faces; there always are. The group of young friends with a scuffed up runabout preparing for a summer of waterskiing and wakeboarding. The retiree, proudly acquainting himself with that dream boat he'd worked years to achieve. A young couple ambitiously tackling a tired old sloop. We watch, realizing they have no clue where to begin, but what they lack in experience and knowledge they more than make up with enthusiasm and energy. And there will be missing faces and boats that sit untended, and talk of who became ill or passed away, and then you realize how little you truly knew about those people you'd known for years. But at least, looking back, there is a sense that the time spent with them was time well spent – laughing, swapping tools and stories, sharing drinks and dreams.
In this age of shopping centers and central air-conditioning, people have grown isolated. Modern life has fallen victim to its own success. A house in the suburbs with a big backyard and a driveway full of cars has created neighborhoods of commuters who rarely see and barely know one another. There was a time when societies flourished on communities working and building together, helping one another out. I suppose this is a big part of what I enjoy around the boatyard: that sense of community has not been lost. While there may be a diverse range of boats and owners, there is a certain unity. Backed to one another, transoms become porches and docks are communal sidewalks as we all pass one another while we come and go. People pause to stop and chat. A lifted engine hatch will immediately draw queries of "Everything all right?" and "Need a hand?" Friendships are forged as we sympathize, commiserate and assist, even if only to offer a cold beer. And I suppose that's what I enjoy most about spring within this little village of eclectic boats – that promise of another season among friends, both old and new.Indeed it is. At least, in a manner of speaking.
UPDATE: Over the coming days I'll be doing some updates/housekeeping here on this blog. I know some of my older posts have missing photos, and there are a few things I've written in the past for Write on the Water that I'd like to share here. I can only assure you that this is the start of much more. But in my usual cryptic way, I'm not going to elaborate on that just yet.
Stay tuned! (And thanks for hanging around this long — your patience will be rewarded!)
