Palm Beach back in spotlight
The Florida county that brought us the hanging chad 12 years ago is in the midst of yet another electoral mess — and the presidential election is still nearly two weeks away.
The problem this time: 27,000 filled-out absentee ballots in Palm Beach County that were misprinted and cannot be read by tabulation machines. County officials are having the results from all those ballots copied onto properly laid-out ballots, with representatives from both the Obama and Romney campaigns present.
Story Continued Below
For those keeping score at home, George W. Bush won the White House in 2000, thanks to a 527-vote margin in Florida. That outcome followed a seemingly endless recount drama, amid voter confusion blamed on the county's oddly designed "butterfly ballot."
So you can't blame anyone for being nervous about seeing the same county make more electoral history.
"Every time you duplicate a ballot, you run the risk of making a mistake, particularly with 27,000 ballots," former Florida Secretary of State Kurt Browning — whose job included overseeing the state's elections bureaucracy — told The Palm Beach Post.
Miami attorney Raquel Rodriguez, statewide co-chair of Lawyers for Romney, objected last week to the process that county Election Supervisor Susan Bucher had designed for the hand-copying, saying it didn't follow state law, the Post reported . "She's inventing a procedure," Rodriguez said.
Bucher, a former Democratic state House member, didn't respond Wednesday to requests for comment from POLITICO.
While the county is heavily Democratic, neither campaign is willing to take any chances on winning Florida's 29 electoral votes. Obama will need a sizable vote advantage in South Florida to overcome GOP dominance elsewhere in the state, so any voting glitches in Palm Beach County could cost him dearly.
"Our No. 1 interest is making sure that every voter can cast a ballot and have confidence that their vote will count," Obama for America-Florida spokesman Eric Jotkoff said in a statement Wednesday.

Pinkeye (or conjunctivitis) from an allergy is not
contagious and often occurs during the same season, year after year. A
substance (allergen) causes a reaction in the lining of the eye
that makes the eye red, swollen, itchy, and teary. Spring and fall are the most
common times of the year for this kind of pinkeye to occur.
Pinkeye can be caused by many substances that come in contact with
the eye, such as eye medicines (especially those containing neomycin),
makeup, contact lens solution, pollens, or chemical fumes. Pinkeye caused by contact
with a substance may occur in one eye only. These eye symptoms may also bother
people who have other allergy-related problems, such as hay fever, asthma, and
skin allergies (eczema).
Symptoms of pinkeye caused by an allergy include:
You may have similar nose or throat allergy symptoms when you have
allergic pinkeye.
Allergic pinkeye is usually treated at home with cold compresses and
nonprescription eyedrops, such as naphazoline (Naphcon-A). If symptoms
continue, a visit to a doctor is needed. Severe cases of allergic pinkeye may
require treatment by an eye specialist (ophthalmologist) or an allergy specialist.

If you think parallel parking is bad now, imagine it in the 1950s. With archaic power steering (if any) and massive cars trying to parallel park must have been even more irritating. With this in mind one clever inventor dreamed up the "Park-kar" (?), a trunk mounted, drive shaft driven fifth wheel to maneuver effortlessly in and out of parking spots. We want to know more about how this actually works.

(Phoenix, Ariz. – Jan. 27, 2009) Attorney General Terry Goddard reminds Cardinals fans planning to attend the Superbowl this Sunday to take common sense precautions to avoid scams when purchasing travel packages, accommodations and game tickets.
"I hope many Arizonans are able to make it to Florida to see the Cardinals play in the Superbowl," Goddard said. "They can take some basic steps to protect themselves against common scams. I would hate to see any fans not make it to the game because a scam artist took advantage of their desire to support the Cards."
Goddard said that his office already has received complaints from Arizonans who have reported fraud attempts when trying to purchase travel or game tickets. He offered the following tips for fans heading to Tampa Bay:
- When booking over the Internet, be cautious about making reservations with unknown people or businesses that require advance payment or deposits without a written contract. Legitimate businesses will provide a written confirmation of your reservation.
- Don't make any transactions that can be completed only by phone. Legitimate reservation companies will offer the option to book by phone or via the Internet. Get their address and ask about a written contract and refund policy. Do an Internet search of the address to see if a map shows the location.
- Be cautious of travel offers that appear "too good to be true." Dramatically reduced fares are often not legitimate and may require additional payments the buyer is unaware of when making the reservation. Read the fine print before purchasing.
- Beware of travel reservation Web sites that are unfamiliar to you. Scam Web sites will offer reduced fares on travel and hotel accommodations, only to steal your credit card information. Research a site before making a purchase and stick to trusted travel sites when booking online.
Many of the most common scams are designed to obtain personal financial information, such as bank account or Social Security numbers. Goddard recommends the following steps when buying event tickets:
- Purchase tickets directly from the team or the venue where the event is going to be held. If you go through a ticket broker, do your homework. Check with the Better Business Bureau to see if complaints have been filed against the company and look for the BBB online seal.
- When buying through an online auction site, do not let the individual seller lure you away from the original Web site. Any guarantee offered by the ticket broker online may be lost if you purchase tickets outside its Web site.
- Before buying tickets, check the event's Web site to make certain the seats and the section exist. If a phone number is listed on the Web site, call the number to see if it is correct and working.
- Never pay with a cashier's check or wire money to the seller; you'll have no way to get your money back if the tickets never arrive. Pay with a credit card, which is safer than a debit card, or through a neutral third-party escrow service such as PayPal, which offers some amount of protection and potential reimbursement.
If you believe you have been a victim of fraud, please contact the Attorney General's Office in Phoenix at 602.542.5763, in Tucson at 520.628.6504 or outside the metro areas at 1.800.352.8431. To file a complaint in person, the Attorney General's Office has satellite offices throughout Arizona with volunteers available to assist you. Locations and hours are posted on the Attorney General's Web site at www.azag.gov.
For more information, contact Anne Hilby at (602) 542-8019.

A U.S. patrol finds anger and distrust in Afghanistan
BARAKI BARAK, Afghanistan — Five miles from the muddy bazaar where smiling merchants offered tea to U.S. Army Col. David Haight and insisted that outsiders were making all the trouble, a deadly reception had been prepared for his five-vehicle patrol.
A U.S. pilot had spotted men burying what turned out to be a bomb by the road where Haight was stopping to ask how he could help poor farmers and jobless youths who were desperate for any kind of work, including setting explosives for the Taliban.
The stocky combat veteran from Fairfax, Va., wasn't buying what he was hearing about all the troublemakers being outsiders.
"The IED" — improvised explosive device — "that was put on the road down there? The guys are from Baraki Barak," Haight said as he and his men made their way past dingy shops and fruit carts, their fingers rarely straying from the triggers, grimy children gamboling noisily in their wake.
Down the road, U.S. military engineers found and blew up the remote-controlled bomb.
The encounter illustrates the distrust and anger that U.S.-led forces face as the Obama administration tries to stem the Taliban-led insurgency by sending more American troops to Afghanistan and ramping up a strategy to start making good on years of empty U.S. vows to better the lives of ordinary Afghans.
The region where Haight's 3rd Brigade Combat Team of the 10th Mountain Division, from Fort Drum, N.Y., deployed six weeks ago is shaping up as one of the most crucial proving grounds for the revamped U.S. counterinsurgency strategy.
The 2,700-strong force is headquartered about 40 miles from Kabul, the first major foreign contingent to deploy in Wardak and Logar provinces, a measure of how the Taliban are expanding their presence around the national capital.
Home to more than 860,000 people, the two provinces control the approaches to Kabul from the Taliban's southern bastions. Afghanistan's main national highway — and the key U.S. supply route from Pakistan's port of Karachi — runs up Wardak's border with Logar to Kabul and connects to Bagram, the largest U.S. base in the country.
The guerrillas are no military match for the Americans, but their encroachments are fueling a perception that Kabul is being encircled, which could make joining the guerrillas increasingly appealing to dispirited Afghans who otherwise hate the Taliban's harsh brand of Islamic rule.
"Perception is a reality whether you like it or not," said Haight, who like many of the Afghans he encountered on his patrol earlier this week expects the winter thaw to bring a significant increase in violence as insurgents test the new U.S. troops in the area. Since he and his unit deployed, they've been ambushed several times, but they've suffered no serious casualties.
There was little bloodshed in the two provinces before mid-2007, when the Taliban and allied militants began infiltrating from the south.
They ambushed private trucks, beheaded drivers, attacked Afghan security forces and set up shadow governments. Their crude Islamic courts settle feuds and punish criminals, filling a vacuum created by the corrupt police and dysfunctional local authorities with whom the U.S. soldiers are associated.
"The police are just worthless," fumed Fulat Khan, 20, when Haight said his troops were backing up the local cops. "Anytime there is a fight in the community, the police just laugh and watch it. We need an organization or a number we can call so somebody can come here and help us."
Until the 3rd Brigade Combat Team deployed, there were only 300 U.S. troops to help Afghan forces in Logar, Wardak and three neighboring provinces. Several hundred Turkish and Czech soldiers are restricted to overseeing small-scale aid projects.
Because no major American contingent was present for so long, U.S. officers have tagged much of the region "the Black Hole," an acknowledgement that they don't know the full extent of the Taliban threat in the area.
The 3rd Brigade Combat Team's most recent five-hour patrol from Baraki Barak to Logar's provincial capital, Pul-e-Alam, drove home just how tough its mission will be.
In addition to working with provincial leaders to jump-start local governance and aid projects, Haight has spent weeks trying to learn the complex tribal and ethnic dynamics of the rugged countryside in roadside chats.
He listened patiently to complaints about foreign troops, and he tried to explain how the stepped-up U.S. presence should allow aid groups to bring in projects that will create jobs.
"What's your motive here?" Bahuddin, 16, who like many Afghans uses only one name, asked Haight as his men on the street and in the turrets of their armored vehicles watched for any signs that cars passing through Baraki Barak carried suicide bombers.
"We want to help with security and make sure the Taliban don't intimidate people at night," replied the colonel, who did three tours in Iraq and is on his second in Afghanistan. "We want to help the local government provide jobs and stability."
Most residents refused to discuss the Taliban, an indication of the insurgents' intimidating presence, and several ridiculed the notion of a working local government.
Instead, they emphasized their economic plight, complained that U.S. convoys force traffic off the roads and voiced fears that the increased American presence will mean more civilian casualties.
"Please do not do any bombing in this area," pleaded Noor Agha, an unemployed engineer. "You need people to support you from the bottom of their hearts. If you put your heart out, they will put their hearts out."
One man in Pul-e-Alam cited incidents that were more rumor than fact, a common problem that's especially frustrating for Haight.
"Look at how we are standing here and talking. You are asking questions. Why don't you do more of that instead of snatch-and-grab operations?" said Samur Gul, a bearded taxi driver, to the approval of onlookers. "Innocent people are being killed."
Gul couldn't say when the last such operation took place.
Syed Hashim, a construction company owner, said he thought that there was still time for the United States to remedy its mistakes of the last seven years.
"When you open a dialogue, things can become smoother. We need face-to-face communications," Hashim said. "This can be a new era."
Reflecting on the patrol back at his base, Haight said he remained confident that the right combination of helping Afghan authorities restore security, improve governance and develop the local economy could drive the Taliban out of the area.
"I can't fix everything. I'm trying to fix the future," he said. "We have to succeed. There is no choice."

|Klaus WeberLarge Dark Wind Chime (Tritone Westy)
The sound of the wind chime was recorded in the dome of Secession in Vienna on September 17, 2008 at 2.30 pm. The specifically developed wind chime was installed on the top of the building to send out "bad vibes" over Vienna during the course of Klaus Webers' solo exhibition.
The wind chime is 4.3 meters high and made from tempered aluminium. Its composition is based on the Tritone (tritonus)—the "diabolus" in music, what is known as the "devils interval." "Diabolus in Musica" is Latin for the Devil in Music. It is used to describe a musical interval consisting of three whole tones comparable to the augmented fourth or diminished fifth. It is often used as the main musical interval of dissonance in Western harmony.
In medieval times, the Tritone—after being rejected by the Church as the interval of the Holy Trinity—was deemed the interval of the Devil himself. Some sources say the interval was outlawed as it was thought to evoke sexual feelings. There was a general belief that playing the interval aroused the devil. As a result a great deal of superstition became associated with the interval. Through this original symbolic association with Satan, and its avoidance, the interval became known in Western cultural convention to carry evil connotations and represent the "other." In popular music such as heavy metal and particularly black metal the Tritone is an important interval. It is even used in the theme tune for The Simpsons.
The chimes are designed so that the frequency ratios of the instrument create distinct beats and waves when several pipes vibrate simultaneously. It is less about the isolated individual tones and instead their droning after-effects. Alternate pipe constellations result in different vibration patterns. These sonic patterns can be seen to modulate the surrounding physical space, dynamically overlapping or taking on the sound of the urban environment.
The recording of the sculpture was basically not manipulated in the recording studio.

12" record, B-side blanket
Limited edition, €35.00
The song kranke Fuchs is meant as a manual about how to get rid of yourself as an inextricable part of an unacceptable structure. At the same time it represents a conception of the available options of acting productively within it.
On the record cover Klaus Weber is depicted as an apeman. The image refers to the cover of a 1963 record by Klaus Kammer, reciting Kafka's brilliant short story "Report to an Academy" (1917), the story of an ape who has decided to become human, while he found himself amongst humans in forlorn captivity.
There were two pieces on the one track of the record, using different frequency ranges, which were played simultaneously—one for the crickets and one for human perception. When the record is played, Weber is also singing inaudibly for the crickets.
Crickets use a very high frequency sound for their communication, which cannot be perceived by the human senses. The crickets' chirping of which we are so fond is in fact no more than acoustic debris to which the crickets themselves are utterly oblivious. The same applies to our voices which reach the crickets' "ears" as an abstract acoustic hiss only.

12" record, hand-made silkscreen, B-side blanket
Limited edition, €45.00
The sound on this record is that of the "LSD Fountain." It was designed as a music machine.
The three-tiered fountain is made from heavy Victorian crystal. The liquid in the fountain is potentized LSD.
When it flows over the crystal and hits its surface by tripping and dropping on the edge, a high bell-like melody can be heard. It is never repetitive and never sounds the same.
Some people say it sounds like a flock of goats at a mountain spring.
The record starts with the switching on of the pump, then the first dish is filled and overflows into the second then fills the third and biggest bowl and finally spills into the concrete base, to simulate the sound of rain on the street after the pump is switched off again.
The crystal originates from the British company Osler which manufactured a famous crystal fountain exhibited in the Crystal Palace for the 1851 World's Fair in Hyde Park, London.
The "LSD Fountain" was reassembled and manufactured 2003 as the centrepiece for a future public building, the "Public Fountain LSD Hall."

Casino Boom Pinches Northeastern States
Influx of Competition Leaves Early Players—Such as Delaware, New Jersey and West Virginia—Struggling to Keep Bets Flowing
Racetrack casinos used to contribute as much as $240 million a year to Delaware's tax coffers. But as the Northeast becomes saturated with gambling venues, the state's casino revenue has tumbled, prompting a new industry request—for a tax break.
"It's a different world for the Delaware casinos," said Democratic Gov. Jack Markell, who supports reducing the tax burden on casinos by $20 million a year to help them compete....

TitleSorting through the claims, counterclaims about environmental impact of 'fracking'
BodyIt's difficult to find scientists who have not lined up on one side or another on hydraulic fracking for oil and natural gas. The anti-fracking groups have their scientific talking points, and the pro-fracking groups have their counterclaims. Some of the scientists who have put out pro-fracking reports have turned out to be tied to the industry. When even the federal panel formed to study the issue is stacked with industry supporters, it's hard for environmentalists and health advocates to believe its conclusions. Advertise | AdChoices"Cutting through the 'noise' for the average citizen in indeed extremely difficult," said Peter Collings, a physics professor at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania, who has lectured about fracking. The truth about fracking, he said in an e-mail interview, lies "somewhere in between" what the regulation-hating gas industry tells the public and what the environmentalists claim. America's drive for energy independence"Fracking can be done in a way that safeguards subsurface water and surface lands and wildlife, prevents a good deal of the release of methane to the atmosphere, etc., but it is expensive and lessens profits," Collings said. "I think it is safe to say that industry has not chosen to go this route, so the anti-fracking movement has a legitimate cause, because the environmental impact of fracking is real and preventable." Related story Disputes over environmental impacts of 'fracking' obscure its future To help cut through the claims and counterclaims, here are a few of the issues debated in the scientific discussion about fracking. Better than coal Natural gas obtained through fracking is thought to have an important advantage over coal. Coal has been a scourge on the environment and public health for decades. It is a major contributor of mercury, nitrous oxide, sulfur dioxide, and other air pollutants, and contributes to diseases including asthma, lung cancer, heart disease, and stroke. In one Harvard analysis, researchers found that nearly 11,000 people died in Appalachia every year between 1997 and 2005 from coal-related injuries, mostly related to mining, or health problems, at a cost of $74.6 billion. By contrast, the coal industry generated just $8 billion in economic activity for the region over that period, they said. Overall, the researchers concluded that the true cost of coal-generated electricity is two-to-three times higher than what we pay for it. And that toll doesn't count most damage caused by global warming. In 2005, coal was used to generate 50 percent of the electricity in the United States, but was responsible for more than 80 percent of its emissions of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. The increase in fracking reduced America's dependence on coal by 10 percent as natural gas production climbed 15 percent between 2007 and 2011. Then, in 2011, Cornell University researchers found that methane leaking from fracking wells during extraction could cause more damage to the environment than coal production – a conclusion that remains debated. Advertise | AdChoicesDaniel P. Schrag, a professor of geology and director of Harvard's Center for the Environment, argued in a 2012 paper that the Cornell researchers failed to take the time horizon into account. Looking at the next few decades, the leaked methane might be worse than carbon dioxide produced from coal generation, he wrote, but CO2 is far more damaging to the environment over more than a century. Using a different method of counting damage from methane, Schrag came up with a much lower figure for the environmental damage of burning natural gas, and upheld gas' image as a much cleaner fuel than coal. Another advantage to fracked gas, also called shale gas: Swapping it for coal in energy production will be relatively easy, Schrag said in an interview. Unlike nuclear power plants, which cost billions of dollars and take a decade or more to permit and build, power plants capable of burning natural gas already exist and are working at just 30 percent of capacity. This makes shale gas a logical "bridge" fuel between coal and indisputably cleaner forms of fuel, such as wind and solar, which cannot yet deliver cost-effective power, Schrag said. Slideshow: Drilling down and out in Texas Jim Seida / NBC News Slideshow: Click to watch a drilling crew at work near the small town of Garden City, Texas, drilling an oil well that eventually will extend more than a mile deep and a mile sideways in the Permian Basin. Launch slideshow Earthquake risk Environmentalists have also raised the specter that fracking can cause earthquakes. Several studies have linked drilling with seismic activity, though virtually all have been small tremors that could be felt only with seismic instruments – not at ground level. In August 2012, the Oil and Gas Commission of British Columbia issued a report linking tremors between April 2009 and December 2011 with increased fracking activity in the region. Demand for water Fracking requires a tremendous amount of water. Every well requires 1 million to 3 million gallons of water each time it is fracked, former EPA administrator Lisa Jackson said in 2011. This demand for water is already causing problems, particularly in the water-starved West. Last year in Colorado, for example, farmers lost out in water auctions to suppliers for fracking operations. Harm to alternative energy research? A harder-to-see drawback of cheap, plentiful natural gas, Schrag wrote in his 2012 article, is that it deters the development of even cleaner forms of energy, such as wind and solar. As long as fossil fuels are cheap and relatively easy to obtain, demand for them will continue to increase. The Obama administration, including the Department of Energy subcommittee appointed to study fracking, sees a middle ground, allowing oil and gas companies to continue fracking without posing too much of a risk to residents and communities near the wells. Jackson, the EPA administrator, told her 2011 audience that the industry needs to self-police and embrace sensible government regulations. Toward that end, energy companies and environmental groups recently announced a plan for standards that they said would lead to safer fracking.

No evidence exists that fracking chemicals have made their way into the food chain, though Cornell University researchers reported last year in a peer-reviewed study that cattle grazing near fracking operations appeared to suffer health impacts. Pro-industry groups call the study "fatally flawed."

Portland State University School of Business undergraduate students participated in a Strategy Capstone consulting course last fall. Their client, DonorResource.org, is a Portland based website that matches donors with nonprofit organizations. Portland native Della Rae thought of the idea with her sister after helping a domestic abuse victim rebuild her life when she escaped to Portland with her children. With nothing except for the clothes on their backs, the family was able to start fresh with the help of Della Rae, her sister and some generous friends who gathered furniture, clothing, toiletries and small appliances.
"We help donors and nonprofits find each other," says Della Rae, the single mom of Simon, age 13, and Sarah, 11. Donors with items ranging anywhere from musical instruments to books to blankets are connected to nonprofits seeking the same items. Launched in 2005, with 350 Portland nonprofits registered, the organization looked to PSU's School of Business students for strategies to expand nationwide. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the organization and its industry, demographics and competitors, students presented a series of insightful recommendations.
By analyzing the organization's revenue models and tracking performance metrics, students identified the distinctive value DonorResource.org added to the nonprofit marketplace. What makes DonorResource.org unique is that a representative from the nonprofit picks up the goods from the donor after a match is made, engaging donors and organizations to build deeper relationships within the community. By building on that as the organization's core strategy, students developed creative and realistic solutions to bring this model to other cities in the United States.
"The students were immersed in DonorResource.org's mission," said Mellissa Appleyard, faculty advisor of the capstone program. "They really took ownership of the project and their recommendations because it was a real-life issue that they believed in. They got to the heart of the organization."
PSU's capstone program is a unique experience that provides students with an opportunity for community-based learning and engagement, while simultaneously benefitting Portland's economic and social vitality. A key component of the course is ethical and social responsibility, and students are exposed to some of the leading strategies in the pursuit of social and environmental missions as well as the traditional economic mission. If you're a small business, startup or nonprofit agency interested in becoming a community partner for this program, please contact Bill Jones at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

AAA member, Jose Vasquez, writes the latest piece on The Huffington Post. Here's an excerpt:
March 19th marked the sad anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Nine tumultuous years after "shock and awe," the people of Iraq struggle to rebuild their society while dealing with the aftermath of a disastrous occupation. When the last combat brigades pulled out in December 2011, putting Iraq in their rear-view mirrors, what was the legacy they left in their wake and the burdens they brought home with them?
As both an organizer active with Iraq Veterans Against the War and a student of anthropology, I have worked closely with U.S. military veterans who served in the so-called "Global War of Terror," particularly those involved in peace and social justice movements. Looking back, I see many lessons to be drawn from this costly debacle.

Air Force drops plan to make fuel from coal in Montana
WASHINGTON — The Air Force on Thursday dropped plans to build a coal-to-liquid plant to produce fuel for its aircraft, a plan that would've reduced dependence on oil but increased the emissions of the heat-trapping gases that cause global warming.
The Air Force has a goal to certify that all aircraft could fly on a 50-50 blend of fuel by 2011. It's been purchasing fuel made from coal from Sasol of South Africa, most recently 300,000 gallons, said Air Force spokesman Gary Strasburg.
The B1, B52 and C-17 already have been certified to run on the coal-mix blend, and the F-15, F-22, C-5 and KC-135 all have also used the blend, Strasburg said.
The Air Force is looking for alternatives to oil to make sure that it can continue to operate its aircraft when supplies are tight. The coal-to-liquid conversion process, however, is expensive to set up and there are no full-scale plants in the U.S.
Liquid fuel from coal produces more than twice the greenhouse gas emissions as conventional petroleum-based fuel.
The Air Force for the past year had been considering building the plant at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, one of three U.S. Air Force bases that maintain and operate the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile.
The service had required that the coal-to-liquid plant would be privately funded, according to an Air Force news release on Thursday.
The Air Force rejected the plans for the coal-to-liquids plant because of possible conflicts with the 341 Missile Wing's nuclear mission. The release said the concerns included decreased security near the base's weapons storage area, interference with missile transportation and "explosive safety arcs and operational flight safety issues."
Strasburg said he couldn't comment on whether there were economic or environmental concerns until after all participants in the original plan were briefed. The Air Force Real Property Agency had submitted a plan for the plant in February 2008.
The 2007 energy law requires that federal agencies not purchase fuels with greater greenhouse gas emissions than conventional petroleum fuels.
The main users and producers of fuel from coal have been South Africa and Nazi Germany.
Henry Henderson of the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental advocacy group, said coal-to-liquid fuels "make no sense for a free economy" because they're expensive and would require taxpayer funds to get them off the ground.
"We have a very long history of trying to do this in the United States and it repeatedly results in subsidies from the public and inability to compete in any fair market place," he said.
The Air Force also would've had to find a way to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions at additional expense Henderson said.
The Air Force is in the beginning stages of laboratory testing of advanced biofuels, which would have lower greenhouse gas emissions than conventional fuel.

Chris Wondolowski heads winner, Earthquakes top SKC
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Chris Wondolowski scored for the third time in as many league matches and the San Jose Earthquakes extended their home winning streak to five consecutive games with a 1-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City on Sunday night.
Wondolowski and the Earthquakes broke through in the 55th minute against one of the MLS' stingiest defenses. Steven Beitashour delivered a cross off a deflected ball on the right wing and Wondolowski knifed behind Sporting's back line to reach the looping pass and head it inside the near post from 12 yards out for his eighth goal.
San Jose (9-10-6) kept alive its faint playoff hopes with the victory, moving into a tie for seventh place in the Western Conference with FC Dallas on 33 points.
Sporting Kansas City (11-8-6) retained its share of the Eastern Conference top spot, but lost its game in hand on co-leader New York.
The five-game home winning streak is San Jose's longest since August 2005.
Wondolowski has scored in five straight matches against Sporting Kansas City.
San Jose had the best chance of the first half when Clarence Goodson rose to meet Marvin Chavez's 33rd-minute free kick deep inside Kansas City's box. But Kansas City goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen prevented the U.S. international's first goal for San Jose with a diving, right-handed stop.
The visitors' appeals for a penalty kick were denied in the 65th minute after Matt Besler's free kick from the right wing was flicked forward by Aurelin Collin and Kansas City's Soony Saad collided with Beitashour at the back post.

Just like last year, when Apple introduced the iPhone 4S and a great number of people expressed their disappointment at the "underwhelming" new arrival, this time too cries of disillusionment are being heard from every corner with regards to the iPhone 5. And just like last year all these naysayers were proven wrong, I predict that once again we will see the iPhone 5 break sales records but also turn into an amazing success with users worldwide.
There are some basic misunderstandings about the iPhone that still linger in the marketplace and cause these enormous miscalculations both by observers of the industry as well as potential customers:
- There are those who "get" the iPhone and those who don't. What I mean by that is, there are people who buy the iPhone because they buy into the entire ecosystem. They realize that the iPhone is only one part of a whole. They "grok" iCloud, iTunes, the app environment, connections between iOS and OSX, maybe even AppleTV. They stand in direct opposition of people who are looking to buy a gadget, the latest fad, some new exciting feature for that feature's sake. Looking for feature parity between the iPhone and some new Android device of the week is a total waste of time. So what if some new phone as NFC (near field communication) if nobody uses it ? Apple won't include a feature in their phone if that feature is half-baked. The first iPhone did not have 3G. The reason was that, back in 2007, there was no way to run 3G without running out of battery power within dozens of minutes. People could be heard complaining about that up and down the street, but the decision made by Jobs at the time was sound. There are so many Android phone models out there, from so many manufacturers, that there is no cohesive system in place. App usage on Android, beyond some percentage of savvy users, is minimal at best, whereas iOS users who understand their environment tend to acquire more apps and use them much more often. In many case Android users would have been "feature phone" buyers rather than smartphone customers. Many may not have known walking into the store what model they were going to walk out with on the day of the new acquisition. So a lot of the noise following the iPhone 5 intro of yesterday comes from that camp.
- It used to be that Apple, as a company, was able to keep a tight lid on new products. The bigger the company became, the more successful they were, the harder keeping secrets turned out to be. There were almost no features of the iPhone 5 that were unknown to anyone paying attention these past few weeks. Pretty much every detail about the phone had been leaked, mostly by Chinese manufacturers looking to profit from the prestige of being an Apple OEM. As a result there was very little announced yesterday that elicited real surprise. Since people like a good surprise, a great number of pundits, journalists and cognoscenti cried foul yesterday since there were almost none.
- For a while people got the idea that every time Steve Jobs took the stage, he would create a new revolution. People have come to expect dramatic, industry altering announcements from Apple as a result of some of the changes we have seen the company bring about this last decade. But if Apple does one thing well, it is to improve on something they have introduced in the past, without necessarily trying to disrupt it at every turn. The iPhone 4/4S was an amazing improvements over the original iPhone form factor. So Apple decided to basically stick to it, however make improvements to the phone's innards, without changing the overall look too much. No, the iPhone 5 doesn't hover in the air and it doesn't make me coffee. But that's not what I want my iPhone to do. Most people haven't yet realized that some of the revolutions we will see in the field are already baked into the product. We have not yet scratched the surface of what Siri will one day become. There is a reason Apple still calls it a "Beta". But by next week, with the release of iOS 6, Siri will come to the iPad. And in the not too distant feature I am convinced it will be on the Mac as well. Ultimately it will dramatically change how we use our electronic devices.
A mere five years ago there was no such thing as the "App economy". Three years ago there was no "tablet-PC" market to speak of. Apple will continue to disrupt entire industries and I hope that one day, THEY will be the ones to disrupt the iPhone itself. Hopefully, deep inside some secret Apple lab, there are people even now working on that next big thing: the product that will unseat the iPhone. But for now I am very happy that they have decided to improve on a good thing without trying to change it too much. Evolution rather then revolution, just what the doctor ordered.

FRIDAY, Jan. 4 (HealthDay News) -- Ineffective communication is a major player when patients don't properly take medication as prescribed, a new study finds.
Latest MedicineNet News
"Communication matters. Thirty percent of people [in the study] were not necessarily taking their medications the way their doctors thought they were," study lead author Dr. Neda Ratanawongsa, an assistant professor in the department of medicine at University of California, San Francisco, said in a university news release.
"Rates for non-adherence were 4 to 6 percent lower for patients who felt their doctors listened to them, involved them in decisions and gained their trust. By supporting doctors in developing meaningful relationships with their patients, we could help patients take better care of themselves," she added.
The study authors reached their conclusions after giving questionnaires to more than 9,000 patients who took drugs to lower their blood sugar, blood pressure or cholesterol. They completed items on how they communicated with their doctors, and the researchers checked their prescription records to see if they were properly taking their medications.
Andrew Karter, a senior research scientist with the Kaiser Permanente research division who assisted with the study, pointed out what was unique about the findings. "We found that medication adherence is better if the physician has established a trusting relationship with the patient and prioritizes the quality of communication, even if that communication is not specifically focused on medication adherence," he said in the news release.
The study was published in the Dec. 31 issue of JAMA Internal Medicine, formerly known as the Archives of Internal Medicine.

WEST HARTFORD — Wes Cole made 10 3-pointers and finished with a career-high 30 points as Hartford beat Massachusetts Lowell 69-51 on Monday.
The junior became the first Hartford player to score 30-plus since 2011 and he broke Joe Zeglinski's school record of nine 3-pointers in a game set in 2008.
Corban Wroe and Yolonzo Moore II added 11 apiece for Hartford (9-11, 3-2 America East). The Hawks attempted 40 shots from long range, making 14 of them.
Akeem Williams led UMass-Lowell (4-13, 3-3) with 21 points, on 8-of-18 shooting, including 4 of 7 from beyond the arc. The River Hawks made just 36.7 percent of their shots.
Hartford has now won four of its last five games, including a victory over New Hampshire last Saturday. Cole was 5 of 9 from 3-point range in that contest and finished with a season-high 17 points.

The Crimson has advanced to the second round of the WNIT for the second straight year (Jon Chase/Harvard staff Photographer).
WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – Elle Hagedorn followed her own miss with 8 seconds to play to give the Harvard women's basketball team a 61-57 win at Hartford Thursday night in the first round of the WNIT.
Hagedorn's last-second bucket accounted for her only points of the night but it ended a 5-0 run by Hartford to secure the victory. Harvard had gone on top by eight, 59-51, with 1:15 to play before the Hawks stormed back with five straight in the closing minute.
Victoria Lippert scored a game-high 19 points as Christine Clark added 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting to go with 10 rebounds. Temi Fagbenle chipped in 11 points and six boards.
Harvard (21-8) will now face Drexel in the second round of the WNIT in Philadelphia, Pa., Saturday, March 23 at 7 p.m.
The Crimson owned a 44-27 advantage on the glass and shot 46.7 percent for the game despite a 2-of-16 performance from three-point range. Harvard also scored 32 points in the paint and added 19 second-chance points.
Christie Michals led Hartford (21-12) with 11 points as Ruthanne Doherty tallied 10.
Clark provided the firepower early as the teams kept pace with one another throughout the half. Clark scored six of the Crimson's first nine points and grabbed four boards to help Harvard to a 12-6 rebounding advantage, but Hartford kept it at a one-point game, 11-10, thanks to six points from Katie Roth. The Hawks took their first lead off a Shanise Bultron three-pointer, 13-11, and led 22-19 with 3:52 left in the half.
A pair of AnnMarie Healy free throws pulled Harvard back within one and a Jasmine Evans layup tied the game at 23. The Crimson regained its lead off a Clark and-one, 26-24, but the Hawks closed the half on a 6-2 run to take a 30-28 lead into the break.
Clark led both teams with nine points and five rebounds at half as Harvard held a 26-12 margin on the glass. Lippert added six points and Fagbenle chipped in five points and three boards. Hartford's advantage came from behind the arc where it hit four three-pointers and at the defensive end where it forced 13 turnovers.
Harvard opened the second half on an 8-1 run to jump back on top, 36-31. Lippert and Fagbenle scored on back-to-back possessions to regain the lead, and buckets by Clark and Lippert extended the margin to five. Hartford answered back by scoring 11 of the next 13 points and moved back ahead of the Crimson on an Alyssa Englert jumper, 39-38. Dougherty capped the run off with an and-one in the paint to move the score to 42-38.
Harvard retied the score at 44 on a Fagbenle jumper and took the lead back with a basket by Lippert, 48-47. A Lippert three pushed the margin to 51-47, and six points by Clark and Fagbenle made it a 59-51 games with just 1:15 to play.
Game Notes: Harvard, making its fourth appearance in the WNIT, has advanced to the second round for a second straight year ... Christine Clark registered her second double-double of the year with 15 points and 10 rebounds ... Victoria Lippert scored 13 of her game-high 19 points in the second half ... Harvard outrebounded the Hawks by a +17 margin after outrebounding Columbia by a +21 margin last week.

Music: Jakub Kudláč
Motion cooperation: Irina Andreeva
"We have no Molièresque humour, with the exception of a few of Klicpera's comedies," said the distinguished Czech theatre director and theoretician Jindřich Honzl, thus precisely rendering the essence of the talent endowed to the playwright and poet Václav Kliment Klicpera (1792–1859): knitting together comic scenes, familiar from Ancient mime and Italian commedia dell'arte, into an integrated dramatic story. His complete plays, replete with situational humour and puns, served for Milan Šotek to compile a "brand-new" comedy, bearing in mind specific National Theatre actors. To paraphrase the title of one of Klicpera's one-acters, Everyone Something for the Homeland, he has taken from each of the plays for the "Nation", giving rise to a sort of "Klicpera show". The production will be performed on the stage where Klicpera himself once worked, two centuries ago (in 1817, the first version of his play Hadrian of Římsy was premiered at the Estates Theatre). We are of the opinion that the time has come for Klicpera's legacy, which alongside J. K. Tyl's oeuvre, is one of the pillars of Czech drama, to be embraced by the "new blood" of the National Theatre.
Approximate running time, including intermission:
2 hours, 30 minutes, one 20-minute intermission.

FLORENCE, Italy — Italian police found Raffaele Sollecito close to the Austrian border, authorities said on Friday, a day after a court upheld his conviction with U.S. student Amanda Knox of the 2007 murder of Briton Meredith Kercher.
The court sentenced Sollecito to 25 years in jail for the murder and ordered his passport seized, judging him to be at risk of flight because of links abroad.
In a statement, the police said Sollecito had been found between the northern towns of Udine and Tarvisio, which is less than 10 kilometers from Italy's border with Austria.
The note said Sollecito had reached the area in the early afternoon of Thursday, hours before the guilty verdict was announced. Sollecito attended a morning hearing in Florence, but his lawyer said he would not attend the verdict due to stress.
"Raffaele Sollecito... was notified of the cautionary measures of the travel ban and the confiscation of his passport in the first hours of this morning," the note read.
Sollecito has not been taken into custody. According to the court's judgment, he can move freely within Italy, as the sentence is not yet definitive. He would begin his sentence if and when it was confirmed by Italy's highest court.
Knox is in her U.S. hometown of Seattle and would have to be extradited to serve a sentence. Her sentence of 28 years and six months must also be confirmed by Italy's high court to become definitive.

Join us Friday, Jan. 20 at 10 a.m. for our Friday Financial Forum. We will meet at the Friday Forum Room at Arvest's East Side Branch, located at 4225 S.E. Adams Rd. in Bartlesville, Okla.*
This week Val Callaghan, managing director of the Bartlesville Community Center will be bringing an update of what's happening this year at the Bartlesville Community Center. Val was born and raised in Southern Africa and moved to Bartlesville to attend OKWU. She came to the Bartlesville Community Center in 2008 as executive assistant and was named managing director of the center in November 2010.
The Bartlesville Community Center opened in January of 1982 and was immediately recognized as one of the finest performing arts halls in the country. The modern architectural design was the vision of William Wesley Peters, apprentice and protégé of Frank Lloyd Wright, as well as former chief architect of Taliesin West and was created to mesh seamlessly with other remarkable examples of architecture found in Bartlesville, such as the famous Price Tower, Frank Lloyd Wright's only skyscraper.
Frank Lloyd Wright's widow, Olgivanna Lloyd Wright, selected most of the decor, adding a modern, elegant finish to the interior. Perhaps most notably, remarkable are the crystalline light fixtures suspended like icicles from the ceiling in Community Hall. The world's largest cloisonné artwork, a mural that is 25-feet long which depicting a stylized northeastern Oklahoma countryside can be seen upon entering the foyer.
The acoustically superb performance hall seats over 1,700 and is the main focus of the Bartlesville Community Center and has played host to an amazing array of events, world-renowned symphony performances, concert events, ballet, Broadway in Bartlesville stage productions and musicals, lectures and seminars.
We will also have a special Inauguration Day presentation beginning at 10:45 a.m. (11:45 a.m. Washington D.C. time!) that you will not want to miss!
What you can also expect at the event:
Invite a friend and come enjoy delicious homemade cookies and hear about what's going on in the Bartlesville area! If you have any questions or would like to be included on the invitation email list, please contact Billie Roane at (918) 337-4358. We look forward to seeing you there!
