White House stuck on IRS response
The IRS scandal puts President Barack Obama in the worst possible position: all of the blame, none of the power to fix it.
The Republicans finally have a scandal with potential staying power: One of the most reviled federal agencies improperly targeted conservative groups. The House will hold hearings. Republican leaders are making the media rounds and expressing their disgust.
Story Continued Below
And the White House is stuck waiting.
Obama called the story "outrageous" Monday and made vague promises to hold people accountable, but there's not much he can do until the report comes out from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.
( Also on POLITICO: Scandal politics sweep Capitol Hill)
Even his options are firing people are limited. There are only two political appointees in the 106,000-employee agency: the commissioner — formerly a President George W. Bush appointee who left in November when his five-year term expired — and the general counsel.
But Democratic operatives with crisis experience say there is a playbook for regaining a measure of control — if he does it quickly. Several said he should quickly move for an independent investigation.
( Also on POLITICO: 5 key players in IRS mess)
"He has to demand full accountability and then heads have to roll,"said Hilary Rosen, a Democratic strategist close to the White House. "Everybody has to condemn it, no one can be defending this, and the White House has to be at the top of the list in condemning it."
So far, that's not the approach. Obama hedged his statements by saying "if," and press secretary Jay Carney told reporters aboard Air Force One Monday afternoon that the White House must await the inspector general's report before saying anything else.
"If you've got the IRS operating in anything less than a neutral and non-partisan way, then that is outrageous, it is contrary to our traditions," Obama said. "And people have to be held accountable, and it's got to be fixed. So we'll wait and see what exactly all the details and the facts are. But I've got no patience with it. I will not tolerate it."
"The 'if' is very important, so we're not going to start predicting outcomes if we don't know what the conclusions of the IG report are," Carney said.
( Also on POLITICO: Acting IRS chief knew of targeting in 2012)
That's not much like the usual Obama White House response: hard pushback, eagerly knocking back reporters in pursuit. Instead, Friday, Carney offered a tepid response, then leaving it at that through the weekend except for a brief statement circulated to news outlets late Sunday. Then Monday, the revelations kept coming — Obama said during his press conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron that he learned of the IRS issue from news reports Friday. A few hours later, Carney said the White House counsel's office learned of it the week of April 22 – a normal course of events.
"They were informed as a normal sort of heads-up," Carney said. "And we have never, we don't have access to, nor should we, the IG's report or any draft versions of it."
When the story broke initially on Friday, the response came from Lois Lerner, a senior IRS official who struggled to explain the IRS actions during a conference call. The few sound bites the IRS offered in its response were Lerner's unfortunate "I'm not good at math" and, from an IRS press release, "mistakes were made."

Sneaky snakes out and about in Southeast Texas
With our warming weather, it's guaranteed that snakes, and lots of them, are slithering around somewhere near you and me.
There are good snakes and bad snakes. And yes, some snakes are good to have around. Like cats, snakes, too, like rodents such as mice. But still, to me a snake is a snake is a snake. I don't care who you are; when you look down and Mr. No Shoulders is slithering around your feet, it's going to jangle your nerves big time.Such was the case this past weekend with me. I was fly fishing for rainbow trout at the Ramsey Ranch in the Hill Country. Everything was fine. I had caught a few nice rainbows. Then something caught my eye. I look down and there, about 2 feet away is a 5-foot diamond back water snake swimming toward me . I just about jump out of my skin. Once my heart stopped pounding, I whacked the snake with the tip of my fly rod, hoping to give it a little direction — as in the opposite direction. Luckily that tactic worked.
But reaching out to whack a snake isn't always the best thing to do. For example, a park employee at Choke Canyon State Park in South Texas recently told me that a Boy Scout leader went into one of the bathrooms near his tent camping site and much to his surprise spotted a rattlesnake in one of the stalls. Being the leader that he is, he retrieved a stick and went back in to either dispatch the snake or get it to move outside. But something went wrong. It seems the ill-tempered rattler got the upper hand and bit the guy. He didn't die. But any venomous snakebite is very bad news.
And there is the recent story of a state park camper that needed to relieve himself in the middle of the night. He unzips the tent, steps out and promptly gets whacked by a snake. The park superintendent told me it was most likely a cottonmouth or copperhead. Both are venomous snakes that are indigenous to East and Southeast Texas. But in most situations, their bite is not deadly.
Just about all of us that have spent time outdoors hiking, fishing, hunting and camping have had an encounter with a water moccasin. I don't like any snakes. But I particularly dislike moccasins, aka cottonmouths. The cottonmouth name is derived from what a moccasin looks like when its mouth is wide open and about to bite something. It's white like a cotton ball.
Some people say they can smell a cottonmouth. I don't know about that, but I do know they are common here in Southeast Texas. Most of the time they are going to be found near marshy areas, like where you might go duck hunting. More than one duck hunter has a story to tell about a moccasin, a duck blind and chaos.One of the best snake stories I've ever heard is from Capt. Charlie Paradoski, who runs fishing charters on Matagorda Bay. For some reason East and West Matagorda bays are well known for swimming rattlesnakes. One day after cleaning a box of reds and trout, Paradoski reach up under the bow of his boat to get a sack of soft drinks. As he was reaching for the bag, he saw a rattler coiled a few inches from the bag.
"I haven't moved that fast in years," he said. "I'll never forget that one. And I'll never reach into a boat compartment without looking inside first. I guess the snake crawled over the transom of the boat while we were wade fishing."
Snakes have a way of making you come unglued when you least expect it. I'll never, ever forget the time I was leaning up against a tree in the Gilbert woods, just west of Beaumont. I was on a spring squirrel hunt right about this time of year. There was a little mud hole about 10 feet from me. And it was loaded with tiny frogs. I was thinking about what an ideal place it was for a moccasin. Not more than a few seconds after that I look to my right and there, not more than a foot from my hand, is a moccasin coiled up and ready for action. I'm surprised my heart didn't implode.
You never know when a venomous snake is going to show up. A couple of years back a friend of mine was sitting in a lawn chair on his back porch here in Southeast Texas. He looked down and a highly venomous coral snake crawled right between his bare feet.
A neighbor of mine on the west end of Beaumont was weeding her flower garden one morning and spotted a well camouflaged copperhead just before she stuck her hand right on top of it.
You might be surprised to know that many snakebites here in Beaumont, Lumberton, Vidor and other towns occur when people are gardening.
But according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, many bites occur when people walk up on snakes and start to mess with them. They either try to beat the snake with a stick or hit it with a rock. The worst thing you can do is try to pick one up. Mess with a snake and you're likely going to get bitten, and if it's venomous you've got big time problems. The rule of thumb is to go the other way when a snake is encountered.

With only six weeks to go before The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings explodes on the PC gaming scene, CD Projekt Red releases the system requirements for the epic role-playing game, along with some screenshots to show off what you'll be missing if you don't meet those requirements.
The Witcher was one of the best PC role-playing games I've played in years, so I've got high hopes for the incoming follow-up. The nervous anticipation of a game I hope will be a quality product hasn't been helped by worrying about whether or not my PC will be able to handle it without chugging.
Let's see how we stack up. First, the minimum requirements.
Minimum System Requirements:
• OS: Windows XP SP2 / Windows Vista SP2 / Windows 7 (32/64-bit)
• Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 Ghz or AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+
• Memory: 1 GB Windows XP / 2 GB Windows Vista and Windows 7
• Video Card: 512 MB RAM, supporting Pixel Shader 3.0 (Nvidia GeForce 8800 or ATI Radeon HD3850)
Okay, I've got this no problem. Hell, I had this three years ago. Let's see if I can max things out.
Recommended System Requirements:
• OS: Windows XP SP2 / Windows Vista SP2 / Windows 7 (32/64-bit)
• Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad or AMD Phenom X4
• Memory: 3 GB Windows XP / 4 GB Windows Vista and Windows 7
• Video Card: 1 GB RAM, supporting Pixel Shader 3.0 (Nvidia GeForce GTX260 or ATI Radeon HD4850)
A bit steeper, but no problem for my current rig, a custom Maingear box with six gigs of ram, an Intel Core i7 running at 2.67Ghz, and dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 cards. I have no idea what I just typed, but it seems better than the listing, and ignorance is bliss. Feel free to make me cry if I'm wrong.
Hopefully I'll be seeing images like these flowing across my PC screen when The Witcher 2 is released on May 17.

Uganda Presidency Says Otunnu Hiding Behind Political Persecution Claims
The charges are "against standard legal practice†because both laws are being challenged in Uganda's Constitutional Court, Otunnu said yesterday.
[Global: Africa]
Olara Otunnu, the Ugandan opposition leader who plans to run against President Yoweri Museveni, is shielding himself from charges of sedition and promoting sectarianism by alleging political persecution, the presidency said.
Otunnu, president of the Uganda Peoples' Congress party, said in an interview from Aspen, Colorado, yesterday that he plans to return to Uganda to face what he called "trumped up" charges against him. He said his arrest warrant stems from Museveni's fear of being defeated in next year's vote.
"Many opposition politicians have a wrong perception about the law," Tames Mirudi, Museveni's spokesman, said today from the capital, Kampala. "These people wrongly believe that once you are a presidential candidate you get political immunity. Otunnu must appear before court and answer the charges. It's only the president who enjoys political immunity."
Otunnu was initially ordered to appear in court last week in the East African nation after he refused two requests to meet with police about remarks he made in a radio interview in April. During the broadcast, he called for independent probes into atrocities in northern and central Uganda and the killing of civilians in Kampala in September. Calls to Otunnu today were unanswered and his mobile-phone was not taking messages.
"A person who wants to disqualify you doesn't bring a simple case," Mirudi said in a telephone interview. "These are civil cases where you can pay and then stand."
The charges are "against standard legal practice" because both laws are being challenged in Uganda's Constitutional Court, Otunnu said yesterday. "I have no problem whatsoever facing the charges that have been put against me. I would hope that the law would be allowed to take its course."
Ugandan authorities ordered Otunnu, 59, to be arrested and brought before court on Aug. 17. He said he did not appear in court on Aug. 3 because he had a pre-arranged trip to the U.S. and his lawyers requested a postponement. Otunnu, former United Nations under-secretary general for children and armed conflict, said he plans to return to Uganda before his court date.
Otunnu said in an interview in April with Voice of Lango, a closely held broadcaster based in Lira, northern Uganda, that some members of Uganda's armed forces were involved in atrocities during the fight against the Lord's Resistance Army, a rebel group.
Ugandan troops have battled a two-decade insurgency in the north of the country by LRA members. The group, led by Joseph Kony, rose up against the government after Museveni in the 1980s purged the army of members of the Acholi community, whose interests the LRA says it is defending.
Kony, a former Catholic altar boy who says the LRA is inspired by the Ten Commandments, faces International Criminal Court charges of murder, mutilation, rape and the abduction of thousands of children for use as soldiers.
Uganda, with a population of 32 million and a $16.6 billion economy, has been ruled by Museveni since January 1986. The country is Africa's biggest grower of robusta coffee and is set to become an oil producer when London-based Tullow Oil Plc begins production at the Kasamene field next year.

If you're looking for a long but delicate necklace to wear with tops, do consider this pretty "spike" necklace — not only is it only $38, but it's got a number of positive reviews about how easy it is to wear at Nordstrom, and at BaubleBar they've declared it a "BB Essental." Sadly, it only comes in goldtone (sad trombone from the chick who's still a little obsessed with rose gold). Pyramid Spike' Y-Necklace

The secret compartment may be opened without tools, and is held in place by a pair of rare earth magnets. Ashes are placed into the urn through the bottom, which is accessed by removing four screws.

Men's wheelchair basketball advances to semis
The U.S. Paralympic Men's Wheelchair Basketball Team is one game closer to achieving its gold medal dreams after beating Germany in the North Greenwich Arena on Wednesday afternoon. In fact, one more win would guarantee a medal for the men's team for the first time in 12 years.
Team USA beat Germany by a score of 57-46 and benefited from a balanced scoring attack which included 10 points each from Josh Turek (Council Bluffs, Iowa), Steve Serio (Westbury, N.Y.), and Paul Schulte (Bradenton, Fla.) and another nine points from Jason Nelms (Arlington, Texas).
The win spoke volumes about Team USA's determination and confidence in one another. Germany went into halftime up three points and midway through the third quarter, the U.S. was facing an eight point deficit. After chipping away at the lead one possession at a time, the USA was able to tie the game at 37 to finish the third quarter.
Team USA exploded offensively to start the fourth quarter, going on an 11-0 run. Guard Paul Schulte explained the change in style that led to that run, "We were able to get into the kind of game we like, which is real up tempo, real up and down, playing hard defense."
Schulte, a veteran on the team, was instrumental in that deciding fourth quarter, stealing a German outlet pass and finding an open teammate to give the USA the lead, 39-37. The U.S. continued to press and before the Germans could do anything about it, the score jumped to 48-37 in favor of the United States.
Jason Nelms talked about finally using the press to disrupt the opponent, "Seems like we've been holding it back for a little while and we got to throw it out there at the end and that's what it can do to some teams."
Nelms, who had a big three-point play during that run, gave credit for the win to Schulte and guard Steve Serio, "It was [Steve] Serio stroking shots in the beginning, Paul [Schulte]came out there that second half leading the team and we were all feeding off of him."
Schulte talked about that leadership and the bond he has with the other veterans on the team, "We have a number of veterans, with Will Waller, Eric Harper, and me. It's neat to be able to be around those guys because we all started out together in 1997-1998."
Schulte, Waller, and Harper need just two more wins to achieve their dream of Paralympic gold that is 15+ years in the making. To make it to the gold medal game, Team USA will play the winner of today's Australia-Poland quarterfinal.
Australia is playing well and is expected to win the contest setting up a rematch with the United States. Australia beat the U.S. in group play 65-49.
Josh Turek explained how he and his teammates feel about the possibility of playing the Aussies, "We want them, to be honest with you. They are difficult and they play a very physical brand of basketball. But when we looked at the tape...we got out-muscled and out-physicalled. And we will match their physicality and go more than this game. We have seen the best they can give us, they haven't seen the best we can give them."

Solaris offers fix for zero-day vuln
Worm turns
Posted in The Channel, 1st March 2007 00:55 GMT
Sun Microsystems has urged users to update and secure their Solaris 10 installations after a recently discovered zero-day vulnerability was found in the wild.
Sun has posted an online workaround to disable the Solaris 10 telnet service, while advising users to apply patches or protect user accounts using firewalls or IP filtering.
"Until patches can be applied, you may wish to block access to the telnet service from untrusted networks such as the internet. Use a firewall or other packet-filtering technology, such as ipfilter, which is shipped with Solaris 10, to block the appropriate network ports. Consult your vendor or your firewall documentation for detailed instructions on how to configure the ports," Sun said.
The warning comes after Sun confirmed the existence of a worm created to exploit a recently uncovered vulnerability in the Solaris 10 telnet service. The worm was identified by Arbor Networks barely two weeks after the Internet Storm Center uncovered the existence of a possible threat to Sun's operating system.
Arbor's Jose Nazario blogged on Wednesday: "This morning on ATLAS [security service] we saw a pair of hosts scanning for Telnet servers. While this may seem like a throwback to days gone by... this is related to a recent Solaris bug, specifically, CVE-2007-0882 (the telnet "-froot" bug)."®

Lincecum, Blanco lead Giants to sweep of Mets
SAN FRANCISCO -- Keep Tim Lincecum in the friendly confines of AT&T Park, and the right-hander is solid. Keep Curtis Granderson out, and Lincecum would be even better.
Nonetheless, Lincecum kept the Giants in a position to win Sunday, 6-4, at AT&T Park to notch their fourth sweep of the season.View Full Game Coverage
SAN FRANCISCO -- Keep Tim Lincecum in the friendly confines of AT&T Park, and the right-hander is solid. Keep Curtis Granderson out, and Lincecum would be even better.
Nonetheless, Lincecum kept the Giants in a position to win Sunday, 6-4, at AT&T Park to notch their fourth sweep of the season.View Full Game Coverage
Granderson's two homers accounted for the three runs Lincecum (5-4, 4.97 ERA) allowed, and the two-run shot in the first inning provided a short-lived New York lead. The Giants (42-21) used Gregor Blanco's three RBIs and steady run support to hand the Mets (28-35) their sixth consecutive loss.
Some believe Lincecum's line Sunday -- three runs on six hits and one walk -- has become the best-case norm, acceptable provided he gives the team a chance to win and doesn't allow a first-inning meltdown, as has been the case in the past but not Sunday.
"I would be lying to you if I said that didn't go through my head a little," Lincecum said of a here-we-go-again mindset following Granderson's first-inning homer, "but like I said, you have to bounce back and not let that bury you in a hole when you have a lot more game to go and it's your job to keep the team in the game. And that's what I was trying to do."
San Francisco made it a short outing for former Giants prospect Zack Wheeler (2-6, 4.19), who lasted only 3 2/3 innings and allowed four runs on six hits and two walks.
Blanco, who filled in at the leadoff spot and center field for Angel Pagan, went 2-for-4 with a two-run double and an RBI single. Pablo Sandoval and Brandon Crawford had two hits apiece, as every Giants hitter besides Michael Morse reached base -- even Lincecum, who got his first hit of the season, a single.
Blanco said his success filling in for Pagan, who gets an occasional day off, is partly because of a mindset of being ready at any time and mostly because of batting-practice discipline geared toward keeping the ball in play. He can rattle off his batting-practice numbers better than most players can recall their regular-season statistics.
"In my last BP, I only had one fly ball," he said. "The rest were ground balls and line drives. It shows up in the game."
Blanco's RBI single in the seventh gave the Giants a 5-3 lead, a run they needed when Daniel Murphy scored on Jean Machi's wild pitch in the eighth. Then with Granderson on third base with two outs, Machi got Chris Young to fly out.
Brandon Hicks provided an insurance run in the bottom of the frame with a two-out RBI single, his first RBI since May 23, to make it 6-4.
"That's a big base hit to add a run toward the end of the ballgame," manager Bruce Bochy said.
Added Granderson: "They don't have any quit in them no matter what the situation is. They continue to go out there and fight for 27 outs, and that's a good sign of a team that's playing good baseball. Anybody in their lineup can hurt you, whether it be with a base hit or a stolen base or a ball out of the ballpark."
Sergio Romo entered in the ninth inning after Javier Lopez walked Lucas Duda. Romo got three consecutive outs for his 20th save in 22 chances, punctuated by striking out pinch-hitter Wilmer Flores swinging.
"My job is to get outs," Romo said. "A runner on first with no outs, I have to focus on getting the hitters out."
Same for Lincecum. He entered as one of only eight qualifying pitchers in the Majors with an ERA above 5.00. With his typical outings, the bullpen must hold up its end of the bargain.
The relievers indeed did Sunday. It helped that the Mets were 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position. Machi's wild pitch, a run that counted against Jeremy Affeldt, was the most costly moment for the San Francisco 'pen.
"When you have four to five guys who are comfortable pitching late in the game, that's a good thing," Bochy said. "They all did a good job of picking each other up today."
Before Sunday, Lincecum had a 3.76 ERA at home, compared to a 6.84 ERA on the road. That he only granted one free pass against the Mets was a significant positive -- his 4.31 walks per nine innings average entering Sunday was fourth-highest in the National League.
"He's had his ups and downs," Bochy said, "but I like to look at the wins and losses when he starts, and it's pretty good. He's been really good at times; occasionally he has his hiccups. Today I thought he had a nice focus out there. The first inning could've gotten away from him but he regrouped."

Tommy Robredo Garcés (born 1 May 1982 in Hostalric, Girona) is a Spanish professional tennis player. On 8 May 2006, he broke into the world's top ten for the first time. His highest singles ranking to date is No. 5, which he first reached on 28 August 2006 soon after winning the Hamburg Masters.
He turned professional in 1998 and was coached by José Manuel "Pepo" Clavet and is now coached by Karim Perona. Robredo considers his forehand to be his best shot, and red clay is his favorite surface.
Robredo began playing tennis regularly when he was five and his family moved to Olot, where his father Ángel became the director of the local tennis club, Club Natació Olot. (Robredo's mother Dolores is herself a former assistant coach.) He was coached by his father until 1996 when he joined the Spanish Tennis Federation at the Centre d'Alt Rendiment ("High Performance Center"), a famous center for professional sports training in Sant Cugat del Vallès. He turned professional in 1998.

As I mentioned at the beginning of the week, one of my goals for 2010 is to improve readers' ability to get at content on the blog. While I will be looking to address this in a number of ways over the course of the year, the first one is by creating a tasting note database.
The tasting note database is, initially, just a Google spreadsheet. The spreadsheet includes information about producer, vintage, rating, the tasting note, publication date, and other information (see below). My hope is that this will allow readers to more easily get at some of the review information in a summarized/searchable/sortable form.
At present, the tasting note database contains incomplete information for 2009. As I add wine reviews in 2010, I will be updating the database with this information. This will not always be done immediately. Rather, the "last updated" date will be displayed in the link on the main page. This may, of course, occasionally be out of sync with the information on the blog. I will try to update the database at least several times per month. Additionally, I will be adding additional tasting notes from 2009 as time allows (other years may or may not be added in the future).
Access to the tasting note database requires a Google account as the spreadsheet is a Google document. This does not mean that you must have a gmail account. Any email address can be used to create an account on Google provided you set up an account and create a password. In my experience, Google has not spammed me on any accounts I have created, so hopefully this is not too much of a burden (please let me know if you feel otherwise).
Below is an explanation of the fields in the database. Some of these are intended for when the spreadsheet is moved to an actual database in the future. This is a work in progress. Please let me know if you see errors or issues in the database. Also let me know if you would like to see additional information that is not contained in the database.
NB: This post will be updated as any changes are made to the database.
Tasting Note Database fields
Winery: The name of the winery
Wine Name: The name of the wine
AVA: The American Viticultural Area of the wine
Vintage: The vintage of the wine (non-vintage listed as NV)
$: The retail price of the wine
Rating: The rating given to the wine (see Rating System)
Notes: Tasting notes
Region: The geographical area the wine comes from.
Type: Red, white, rosé, sparkling or dessert
Main Varietal: The main varietal that composes the wine.
Publication Date: The date the review was published to the blog if applicable
Setting: Whether the wine was sampled in a public or private setting (see How I Taste Wine).
Purchased/Provided (if private): If a wine was sampled in a private setting, whether the sample was purchased (Purchased) or provided as a sample (Sample). If the wine was sampled in a public setting this will be listed as NA for Not Applicable.
Temp (If not standard): The temperature of the wine if it deviated from the standard range of 62-66 for reds and 50-55 for whites. If no value is listed, the temperature was in the standard range. NR is listed if the temperature was Not Recorded.
Hyperlink: A link to the original post where the wine was reviewed.

The massive volume of wine you've reviewed and catalogued is impressive. Is there a way to sort that google spreadsheet (I didn't see it readily available)
Do you upload to cellar tracker or cork'd?
P.S. You need to review some Spokane wine, show some love for the East Side!
Josh @nectarwine on twitter
Sean P. Sullivan Says:
Josh, I believe - as the spreadsheet is read only - that the only way for readers to sort it is, unfortunately, to download a local copy. Again, not ideal but hopefully better than nothing. Fear not, this is a short-term solution.
I don't upload to CellarTracker or Cork'd. I would like to but, as I'm already a bit more under the wave than riding it, I just don't have the time.
Spokane is close to the top of my list for 2010.

Liberty News
Coffeehouse showcases student talent
This semester's late-night Coffeehouse at Liberty University, with the theme "Roadtrips," was held Friday night in the Vines Center with close to 4,000 in attendance.
Held once a semester, Coffeehouse — which features student talent from music to drama to videos — is just one of the large campus events sponsored by Liberty's Student Activities Office.
Out of more than 50 who tried out for the event, 15 different acts were chosen for Friday night, as well as three submitted videos. A video produced by Student Activities was also shown. A highlight of the night was Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr.'s and his wife Becki's appearances in one of the skits.
At Monday morning's convocation, Falwell recognized the Student Activities staff and director Chris Misiano, who work "behind the scenes … to put together all the trips and activities and the concerts that make life at Liberty fun for you guys."

When the H1N1 outbreak occurred in 2009, Jeff Teigler was starting a graduate program in virology at Harvard Medical School.
"I was the only person interested in viruses that most of my friends and family knew. In answering their questions – What is swine flu? How is it worse than regular flu? Why can't I just ask for antibiotics from my doctor? – I realized how big the gap was between scientists' understanding and how that translated into public knowledge about something as common as our yearly encounter with influenza," Teigler says.
Later that year, Teigler co-presented a public lecture at Harvard Medical School on swine flu, and today he helps to run a program that focuses on scientific literacy.
Science in the News, a volunteer organization at Harvard University, was founded in 1999. Teigler has been co-director since January 2010, and Tammy Slenn joined him at the helm in January 2011.
Teigler describes SITN's mission as having three goals: 1) to fill the gap in access to science information after formal education, 2) to address cases of widespread misinformation and misunderstanding of science, and 3) to create an avenue for direct communication between the public and scientists.
"Graduate students already harbor a desire to share their passion for science," Teigler says. "SITN taps that enthusiasm, giving students varied outlets to communicate science that match their interests."
A young participant peers down the microscope at zebrafish larvae at Science in the News' Model Organism Zoo at the 2011 Cambridge Science Festival. The exhibit explores fundamental genetic concepts of genotype and phenotype with the help of SITN volunteer "zoo handlers" and a selection of wild-type larvae and mutants with striking visual phenotypes
SITN first started as and continues to hold a free, public lecture series each fall at which teams of three graduate students give two-hour, interactive talks on broad scientific topics recently covered in the media. Slenn reports audience sizes currently range from 150 to 250 people per lecture, with about 30 attending post-lecture tours of the medical school's labs. In addition, SITN provides a biweekly e-newsletter, the SITN Flash, written and edited by students.
In 2009, SITN expanded its effort to include participation in the Cambridge Science Festival, high-school outreach, and its own Science Café, Science by the Pint.
"Providing varied programming gives eager SITN volunteers a chance to share their love of science in a manner of their choosing," Teigler says, "but it also attracts and engages audience members of different ages, interests and backgrounds."
Some audience members, like Michael Shapiro, say they attend SITN lectures for professional development.
"I am a mathematician by training and a mathematical biologist by trade. That means that my general biological education is full of holes and makes the SITN talks ideal for me," Shapiro explains. "They start at a very elementary level and almost always teach me something I didn't know."
Many participants are educators who want to stay current with cutting-edge science to bring back to their classrooms, provide their students with examples of early-career researchers and receive professional-development credits.
High school biology teacher Mary Ann Scheiner uses SITN's newsletter in her classes. "Most of my students don't really know what scientific research is. It's great when I can find something to catch their interest – and they realize that they could be doing something like that in just a few more years," Scheiner says.
Lecture attendee James Yakura lauds the graduate students' motivation and enthusiasm: "The lectures are timely and understandable by anyone who has an interest in the topic, the instructors are knowledgeable and radiate excitement for their work, and the times are convenient to those of us with day jobs."
SITN offers volunteers autonomy to start new initiatives with the organization's support, explains co-director Slenn, who developed Science by the Pint, the SITN science café, at which scientists give brief introductions to their research and answer attendees' questions about their work and the life of a scientist while mingling at a bar.
Middle school biology teacher Mike Hansen says he attends Science by the Pint to "stay abreast with what is happening on the front lines of science."
The events "allow me to be connected with researchers who I can hold up as exemplars to my students, as well as providing an excuse for a good pint or two," Hansen says. "The information I get at these get-togethers deepens my knowledge and provides relevancy to material that is part of my curriculum – and it's a fun time."
Slenn's interest in reaching out to a broader, adult audience comes from personal experience.
"I come from a town of blue-collar workers, teachers and a few businessmen, and I wanted to share the excitement of science with people who may not enjoy the lecture format," she says. "Talking to the public about my work reminds me of what excited me in the first place and helps me focus on big picture implications of my research."
Today, 80 graduate students participate in one or more programs annually. Teigler says the most-cited reason for participation remains the satisfaction of applying specialized scientific training to serve others and give back to the community that supports the work. "However, SITN volunteers also gain practical benefits from the focus on high-quality oral and written science communication," he says, "which provides useful training and résumé-building opportunities for early-career researchers."
1. Recruit volunteers: You need a core group of dedicated, enthusiastic people with scientific expertise, plus a few contributing volunteers to staff specific efforts.2. Focus: Start by choosing a single event you want to host or participate in that serves an unfulfilled need in your community. Expand from there, and don't be afraid to try more than once. 3. Know your audience: Design programs with a particular audience in mind. This will improve the quality and reception of the event as well as the effectiveness of advertising. 4. Secure funding: Programs like SITN do not require a lot of funding. Be creative: Ask for donations and apply for public service grants. 5. Advertise: Choose advertising strategies with your audience in mind, and capitalize on joint advertising with other groups or events. Collect data to guide future advertising decisions.6. Quality control: Determining how to evaluate, maintain and enhance program quality is the secret to long-term success. Ask for details on SITN's quality-control measures and the Science Presentation as a Performing Art course.7. Collect data: Design surveys and other metrics to gauge the impact and effectiveness of your programs. This will spur continued development in Steps 1 – 6. As you establish your program, don't forget to keep track of your volunteer alumni as well.8. Contact SITN: SITN has more than a decade of experience implementing public outreach programs and is happy to share successes, failures and insider tips. Start the conversation by emailing email@example.com.
Recently, in collaboration with Harvard science faculty members and Nancy Houfek of the American Repertory Theater, SITN has established a graduate-level short course called Science Presentation as a Performing Art.
Houfek distills theater techniques that aid effective science communication in an interactive workshop for faculty and staff members, postdoctoral researchers and students. Graduate students who take the course for academic credit have small-group follow-up sessions with science faculty members to hone the delivery of their presentations.
When students at Yale University's chapter of Scientists and Engineers for America heard of SITN's program, they decided to start their own lecture series, which they launched this spring.
"We were impressed by [SITN's] scope, longevity and the level of community involvement they were able to achieve," says Yale SEA chapter President Elizabeth Winograd-Cort. "These are our goals as well, and we had been looking for an effective way to communicate important and often controversial scientific breakthroughs to the New Haven community."
The Yale students took the SITN concept and ran with it, she says."We realized that it was not possible or desirable to import the Harvard program wholesale.There are infrastructure disparities between the Harvard group and ours, the differences between Boston and New Haven, and [our] mission, which leads us in a more policy-oriented direction," Winograd-Cort explains. "We adopted a one-hour-long format and chose presentation topics not only because they are interesting but because of surrounding controversy, misunderstanding and lawmaking activity.We want our audiences to be better informed in order to make a difference themselves, either by writing to their representatives, by voting or by raising community consciousness."
Already, participants say, the Yale version of SITN has had a measurable impact.
Communicating science is a top priority for the ASBMB Public Affairs Advisory Committee. By working with Science in the News, the PAAC recognizes graduate students' energy and passion for communicating science and aims to engage growing numbers of participants across the country — scientists and nonscientists — to talk about science and to enhance the public's perceptions of scientists and the importance of our work. PAAC will continue to identify and explore effective sciencecommunication programs and initiatives, examples of which will be reported in future ASBMB Today features or in the SciComm section. In addition, an ASBMB symposium at the 2012 Experimental Biology meeting in San Diego will highlight science communication. We welcome your feedback on science communications issues at firstname.lastname@example.com.
—Lee Gehrke
"We've been invited to speak to New Haven high school students in summer programs and during the school year this fall," Winograd-Cort says, "and we are dedicated to keeping our program running for years to come."
Winograd-Cort insists that collaboration between the Yale and Harvard groups ensured success of the fledgling program: "Harvard's SITN program gave us all kinds of support, from outlining where they spend their money to giving us funds to obtain and distribute advertising postcards. Ultimately, it was the knowledge that something like SITN existed that made us believe we could pull off such an undertaking."

Organic Italian Roma and Napoli heirloom tomatoes cooked with a bit of organic Eden extra virgin olive oil & sea salt, with all organic traditional herbs and spices. These plum tomatoes are sweeter, have fewer seeds, deep color, and firmer flesh, so they make better sauce. Eden are the only tomatoes in the U.S.A. in protective amber glass to prevent light damage of nutrients and flavor components. Gluten Free and .
Eden Spaghetti Sauce - organically grown Italian Roma and Napoli plum tomatoes from a fifth generation family farm, hand cultivated and harvested. Heirloom tomatoes are sweeter, have fewer seeds, deep color, and firmer flesh. A traditional sauce with Eden extra virgin organic olive oil and sea salt and an all organic, non-irradiated blend of onion, garlic, sweet basil, oregano, and black pepper. A heartily delicious spaghetti sauce. It is a good source of phytonutrients.
Organic Eden Spaghetti Sauce contains lycopene, perhaps the most effective antioxidant. Cooked tomatoes are the best source of lycopene. Over 600 carotenoid plant pigments are antioxidants. Red lycopene out paces them all in antioxidant ability. Comparing tomatoes we find heirloom Roma and cherry tomatoes are highest in lycopene, and organic were even higher. Cooking tomatoes with a bit of organic Eden Extra Virgin Olive Oil significantly increases lycopene absorption. Although lycopene is beneficial, it is not just lycopene that makes tomatoes healthy. In whole cooked tomatoes lycopene works together with other phytonutrients and vitamins making it much more effective than isolated lycopene supplements. John Erdman, professor of food science and human nutrition and of internal medicine at the University of Illinois said, "It has been unclear whether lycopene itself is protective. We believe people should consume whole tomato products in pastas, salads, in tomato juice, and even on pizza."
Organic Eden Spaghetti Sauce is versatile on pasta, in casseroles, soups, stews, Spanish rice, barbecue sauces, over organic polenta (corn grits), or as a sauce over baked enchiladas. It is good chip dip too, add some good hot sauce
Eden is the best value.

JUCHITAN, Mexico (Reuters) - Attaching flowers to a ribbon headdress, pulling a lace slip under an embroidered skirt and draping a necklace of gold coins over his head, Pedro Martinez puts the finishing touches on the traditional costume of Zapotec women in southern Mexico.
"When I get all dressed up like this my father always says, 'Oh Pedro! You look just like your mother when she was young," beams Martinez, 28, gluing on fake eyelashes in front of a mirror.
Martinez spent two hours in the hair salon he owns getting ready for this weekend's festival of the "muxes," indigenous gays and transvestites in the town of Juchitan who have found a haven of acceptance in Mexico's macho society.
The muxes (pronounced moo-shes), mostly of ethnic Zapotec descent, are widely respected in the southern town where a dance and parade that crowns a transvestite queen and celebrates the harvest has been held annually for the last 33 years.
Anthropologists say the tradition of blurring genders among Mexico's indigenous population is centuries old but has been revived in recent decades due to the gay pride movement.
Several dozen muxes were blessed by a Catholic priest at a mass before joining visiting transvestites and other townsfolk at a raucous party on Saturday night. The muxes wore either traditional local costumes or ball gowns and high heels.
The beer-fueled fiesta continued into Sunday at a parade through town.
Some of the muxes, a Zapotec word derived from the Spanish for woman, or "mujer", dress as women year round and others are gays who only don women's clothes at the annual party, or not at all.
The area around Juchitan, a laid-back town near the Pacific, has a history of women playing leading roles in public life.
"The legend here is that mothers pray for a gay son who can take care of them when they are old," theater director Sergio Santamaria, 56, said over a traditional breakfast of iguana soup and sweet corn tamales.
Native people in the Americas with ambiguous gender were often regarded as wise and talented, said Rosemary Joyce, a professor of anthropology at the University of California at Berkeley.
"They were seen as have having a kind of spiritual power that comes from being more like the ancestors who are mothers and fathers at once, and more like the divinities who may be dual gendered," Joyce said.
Anthropologists have found evidence of mixed gender identities across Mesoamerica, from Mayan corn and moon gods that are both male and female and Aztec priests who ritually cross dressed.
The Spanish conquest in the 16th century and the Catholic Church snuffed out much of that tolerance.
"The colonizing power was very rigid about sex. They came in and rapidly suppressed all these practices, which doesn't mean they went away. It means they went underground," Joyce said.
While homosexuality has long been accepted in Juchitan, it is only recently that muxes feel secure enough to cross-dress and they have taken on causes like AIDS education, since the region has one of the highest HIV rates in the state of Oaxaca.
"There have always been muxes, but before they would wear just a dress shirt with a feminine touch, like gold buttons. The transvestites are the new generation," said Santamaria.

Film Capsules • Theater Listings
GUARANTEED FRESH as of Thursday November 14, 2019 at 2:28 pm Listings are for Friday 11/15 through Thursday 11/21
Pitch Perfect
[ IMDB ] [ view trailer ]How much do you love "Glee"? Is it a lot? Like, a lotta lot? Well, here's the feature film version, more or less. Anna Kendrick (Up In the Air) plays a shy college freshman who gets recruited into her school's all-girl a capella show choir. They have a rivalry with an all-male show choir at another school. Our lead character falls for one of the guys. The film gets credit for a little snarky humor (most of it delivered by Rebel Wilson from Bridesmaids), but damn the story is a worn-out retread. Oh well, at least you get lots of sing-offs featuring Madonna, Pat Benatar, Toni Basil and other '80s icons. 112 minutes PG-13.

Not a "straight" BD player but...
have a go ant try the Popcorn Hour C200.
Basically, it's a Home media Player with a "hole" for a PC BD player and a 2.5" hdd.
It has read almost everything I could present it (with the limitation that mkv files only play right with SMB and not with Upnp), has a wealth of connectivity, a RF remote, a nice user community...
Only problem is that they will be losing YouTube at the beginning of December, as Google removed access to their API to all but the major set top box players.
BTW, how come I didn't hear about it from you hacks ?Is that not noteworthy, that the "Do no Evil" company is squeezing the little players out ? here, have a go at it here :
(Disclaimer : you might have wrote about it and could have missed it. Nevertheless ! 8p)

This antique carved ivory piece is a pin cushion in disc form. This allowed the pins to be pushed flush into the sides so it wouldn't snag other items in the work bag. This one also has a velvet lined open center on one side so that it could be used as a pin cushion while sitting on a table. The cushion around the sides is dark red silk and is stuck with some old steel pins.
The ivory has a small chip in the area surrounding the velvet, but is otherwise perfect. It measures almost 2" in diameter and has a silk ribbon tab at the top. The ivory grain pattern and patina are lovely.

Focusing on Fields in Access 2003
A field is the place where your data lives; one field holds one piece of data, such as Year or Team.
Because there are so many different kinds of stuff in the world, Access 2003 offers a variety of field types for stuff storage. In fact, Access 2003 puts ten field types at your disposal. At first blush, ten choices may not seem like much flexibility, but once you really get into Access 2003, it'll be more than enough. And, thanks to the field options, you also can customize how the fields look and work to suit your needs precisely. All this, and it makes popcorn, too.
Each field offers a number of options to make customizing incredibly useful. You can ask for some information, test the entry to see whether it's what you're looking for, and then automatically format the field just the way you want.
All the field types appear in the following list. They're in the same order as they appear on-screen in Access 2003. Don't worry if you can't figure out why anyone would want to use one type or another. Just focus on the ones you need, make a mental note about the others, and go on with your work.
- Text: Stores text — letters, numbers, and any combination thereof — up to 255 characters.
- Numbers in a text field aren't numbers; they're just a bunch of digits hanging out together in a field. Be careful of this fact when you design the tables in your database.
- Text fields have one setting you need to know about: size. When you create a text field, Access 2003 wants to know how many characters the field holds. That's the field size. If you create a field called First Name and make its size 6, Joseph fits into the field, but not Jennifer. This restriction can be a problem. A good general rule is to make the field a little larger than you think you need. It's easy to make the field even larger if you need to, but it's very dangerous to make it smaller.
- Memo: Holds up to 64,000 characters of information — that's almost 18 pages of text.
- This is a really big text field. It's great for general notes, detailed descriptions, and anything else that requires a lot of space.
- Number: Holds real, for-sure numbers.
- You can add, subtract, and calculate your way to fame and fortune with number fields. If you're working with dollars and cents (or pounds and pence), use a currency field.
- Date/Time: Stores time, date, or a combination of the two, depending on which format you use.
- Use a Date/Time field to track the whens of life. Pretty versatile, eh?
- Currency: Tracks money, prices, invoice amounts, and so on.
- In an Access 2003 database, the bucks stop here. For that matter, so do the lira, marks, and yen. If you're in the mood for some other kind of number, check out the number field.
- AutoNumber: Does just what it says: It fills itself with an automatically generated number every time you make a new record.
- AutoNumber is very cool. Just think, when you add a customer to your table, Access 2003 generates the customer number automatically! Although Microsoft SQL Server has something similar, the poor people who use Oracle have to jump through hoops to generate customer (or other types of) numbers.
- Yes/No: Holds Yes/No, True/False, and On/Off, depending on the format you choose. When you need a simple yes or no, this is the field to use.
- Hyperlink: Thanks to this field type (and a little bit of Net magic provided by Microsoft Internet Explorer), Access 2003 now understands and stores the special link language that makes the Internet such a cool place.
- If you use Access 2003 on your company's network or use the Internet extensively, this field type is for you.
- Lookup Wizard: One of a database program's most powerful features is the lookup. It makes data entry go faster (and with fewer errors) by letting you pick a field's correct value from a preset list. No typing, no worry, no problem — it's quite a helpful trick. In some database programs, adding a lookup to a table is really hard. Luckily, the Access 2003 Lookup Wizard makes the process much less painful. Ask the Office Assistant for all the details about the Lookup Wizard.

Feb. 7, 2008
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Santa Clara University men's basketball player Mitch Henke and women's basketball player Elizabeth Doran were named ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District VIII First Team. Henke earns the honor for the second time while Doran is a first-time honoree.
Henke is a three-year letter-winner for the Broncos and a three-year starter. As a senior this season he has started all 22 games, averaging 9.9 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, helping SCU to a 12-10 record. Coming into his senior year, he had played in 86 games and averaged 6.2 points per game and 3.8 rebounds per game. His best season came in 2005-06 when he scored 9.4 points per game and grabbed 5.6 rebounds a game. He was slowed by an ankle injury last season, but still appeared in 30 games and started 13 to help SCU finish 21-10 and 10-4 in conference play. For his career, he has now played in 108 games for SCU.
Off the court, Henke also excels, as he has earned a 3.76 cumulative grade point average as a finance major. Last year, he earned Academic All-District VIII honors and was a Division I-AAA Scholar-Athlete Honorable Mention. The Minnetonka, Minn. native has also been a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), and he currently serves as the president of the important student-athlete organization. As a part of SAAC, Henke has been an integral part of the group's canned food and winter clothing drives the past three years. His efforts helped Santa Clara student-athletes collect the most donations of any West Coast Conference school the past two years.
Doran, a Corvallis, Ore. native, carries a 3.95 cumulative grade-point average as she works towards a bio-engineering degree and her determination and drive in the classroom extends to her team-leading efforts on the court.
The junior guard earned a spot in the Broncos starting five this year and is in the midst of a career season on the Mission Campus. Along with compiling personal bests in three-point field goal percentage (.444), free throw percentage (.897) and blocked shots (15), Doran leads SCU in all three of those categories. Her efforts on the court have helped the Broncos to remain as the top three-point shooting team in the West Coast Conference. She averages 10.1 points and 3.5 rebounds per game. Doran also has held onto second place in the league in three-point field goal percentage all season long and is seventh overall in 3FGs made. Doran also rounds out the WCC's top 10 blocked shots list.
The women's basketball team faces Saint Mary's on Saturday, Feb. 9 at 7 p.m. at McKeon Pavilion in Moraga. The men's team then squares off against the Gaels on Monday, Feb. 11 at 8 p.m. at the Leavey Center. Monday's game will be televised live on ESPN2.
