Boston bombing suspect's widow wants body released
Once Tamerlan Tsarnaev's remains are handed over to the family, authorities will reveal cause of death
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The widow of one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects will ask the Massachusetts medical examiner to release his body to his family, her attorney said Tuesday.
Attorney Amato DeLuca said in a statement that Katherine Russell wants Tamerlan Tsarnaev's remains released to the Tsarnaev family.
Tsarnaev, 26, died after a gunfight with authorities. Police said he ran out of ammunition before his brother, 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, dragged his body under a vehicle while fleeing the scene.
Authorities say the medical examiner has determined the cause of Tamerlan Tsarnaev's death but it will remain private until his remains are released and a death certificate is filed. His parents are still in Russia, but he has other relatives on his side of the family in the U.S.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is charged with using a weapon of mass destruction to kill, a crime that carries a potential death sentence. He lies in a prison hospital after being wounded in the shootout with police as he and his brother made their getaway attempt.
DeLuca said Tamerlan Tsarnaev's widow met with law enforcement "for many hours over the past week" and will continue cooperating. FBI agents on Monday visited her parents' North Kingstown, R.I., home, where she has been staying, and carried away several bags.
"Katherine and her family continue to be deeply saddened by the harm that has been caused," DeLuca said Tuesday.
Terrel Harris, a spokesman for the Department of Public Safety, said Tuesday evening that the state had not yet received Russell's request to release her husband's body.
He said arrangements must be made to release the body and once that happens a death certificate will be filed and the cause of death made public. He said it is too soon to speculate on when that might happen.

Steve Gouthro
Canadian, b. 1951
Scrap Bay, from the series Through the Mill, 2002
oil on canvas
274.3 x 198.1 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with funds from the Canada Council for the Arts Acquisition Assistance program/Oeuvre achetée avec l'aide du programme d'aide aux acquisitions du Conseil des Arts du Canada and with funds from the Estate of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Naylor, funds administered through The Winnipeg Foundation
Painting, Canadian Contemporary (1980-present)
Scrap Bay is a major work from Steve Gouthro's painting series Through the Mill that evolved from the artist's visits to Gerdau Ameristeel located in Selkirk, Manitoba. While visiting the mill and documenting various processes through photography, Gouthro was struck by the environment in which scrap metal is transformed into usable steel. Scrap Bay encapsulates the artist's focus on degeneration, decay, and regeneration as a universal topic that finds a literal manifestation in the activities of the steel mill. In the WAG work we see detailed representations of the scrap material (seemingly useless castoffs) that will be smelted to become useful steel for new projects. The tension between the attraction and repulsion towards heavy industry in our contemporary society is boldly highlighted by Gouthro's exquisite painting technique.

Cool old pair of the real Cragar S/S 15 X 4 chrome wheels with the 5 lug 4-3/4 bolt pattern.
Lot # 49641
Item Categories:
We have material handling equipment including a fork lift to help you with your purchases. We are only open at this facility Wednesday nights from 6-9 PM. For previewing and pickup any other time an appointment is required. Call Dale Wilch weekdays only @ 913-219-3960 to schedule an appointment or for additional information. Our location (Downtown Underground caves) is at 1501 West 31st Suite 342, Kansas City, MO 64108. We are West down the hill from the Channel 4 TV studios or East up the hill from the Quik Trip @ 31st & Southwest Boulevard.
Here's a few Bidding TIPS. We suggest taking a quick look (spin thru all pages) of the lots (items) in this week's auction. Many bidders like to wait until the auction is closer to the ending before they bid, I understand that. The cool deal with these Equip-Bid auctions is you can just click "Watch" on the lots and that puts those lots in your "Dashboard" so you can review and determine your bid(s) later. Now with the lots you were interested in placing a bid on are all in your "Dashboard" and now you won't have to go thru all lots again. This way as the auction gets closer to the end it's so much easier to make your final bids on only the lots you have interest (put in your Watch). If you missed items last week we might have additional inventory on these lots and most likely re-listed them this week.
Dale Wilch's Man Cave Auctions give you a way to pick up bargains at the price you want to pay! We invite you to come down this Wednesday night to our swap meet and flea market facility in the "DownTown Underground" (Caves on 31st in KCMO) Admission, parking and the 70 degree weather in the "Cave" is always FREE!
Always a menagerie of a little junk and a bunch of good stuff every week. We have 20 other Swap Meet/ Flea Market vendors buying, selling & trading at the same location every Wednesday night. It's always fun and worth the trip to come see us. We always start the bidding out low to give you the opportunity to pick up some great deals. If you're coming down this Wednesday night anyway, why not try to pick off some of these Auction deals!

Global Leaders pledge new action to boost development co-operation
Mexico City, 16 April 2014 – 38 new initiatives were launched by governments, business, private foundations and civil society to push forward effective development co-operation at the first High-Level Meeting of the Global Partnership for Effective Development Co-operation today.
Launched in Busan, South Korea in December 2011 and led by Ministers from Indonesia, Nigeria and the United Kingdom, the Global Partnership helps nations, business and organisations work better together to end poverty.
Over 1500 participants from over 130 countries including developing countries like the Central African Republic, emerging providers like Brazil and Turkey, Northern donors, parliamentarians, leaders from big business like Unilever and H&M and came together to discuss progress in development co-operation and to anchor the Global Partnership in a post-2015 development framework.
Opening the conference Mexican President Peña Nieto said:
'We have the opportunity to join forces and move together toward a new era of effective co-operation to enable us to achieve inclusive and sustainable development for the world we want. We're able to build the new architecture of international aid necessary to realize the post-2015 development agenda'.
Concrete commitments launched at the forum include:
- increasing aid aimed at strengthening tax administrations in developing countries to ensure they get more of their own money. The initiative, led by Germany, the World Bank and OECD also aims to measure how much aid goes into boosting developing countries tax administrations.
- The Arab donor co-ordination group pledged to step up development co-operation with developing countries in ways that are fully in line with the Global Partnership Principles.
- Philanthropic foundations launched a set of guidelines on how the philanthropic sector can engage with governments and other stakeholders in the reality of post-2015 development.
The initiatives were launched in a voluntary annex to a far-reaching communiqué adopted by all delegates; 'Building Towards an Inclusive Post-2015 Development Agenda' aims to push forward effective development co-operation and ensure its inclusion in a post-2015 global development agenda.
The two-day forum included five thematic plenary sessions on areas of co-operation that can boost results in developing countries, including effective development co-operation in middle-income countries, tax and development, 'south-south' and 'triangular' co-operation and knowledge sharing, partnering with business in development and progress in meeting commitments on effective development co-operation that underpin the Global Partnership.
'Africa loses around $50 billion a year through tax evasion, undeclared business and corruption,' said Nigerian Finance Minister and Global Partnership Co-Chair Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, whilst opening the session on tax and illicit flows.
'The Global Partnership, bringing so many important actors in development together, can and should help developing countries analyse gaps in their tax systems and ultimately improve them,' she added.
Wrapping up the session on 'south-south', 'triangular' co-operation and knowledge sharing, Global Partnership co-chair and Indonesian Minister for National Development planning Armida Alisjahbana said:
'In an ever-changing and dynamic global situation we have come to realize that development co-operation needs a new approach to address increasingly complex development challenges, including approaches beyond financing'.
South-south co-operation is often defined as development support among developing countries. 'Triangular' co-operation is defined as actions that bring developing and developed countries together to assist other developing nations.
In the session on partnering with business in development, Global Partnership Co-Chair and United Kingdom Secretary of State for International Development Justine Greening said:
'We must agree a new partnership between emerging nations, aid donors and private investors to make sure every penny spent on development has the greatest possible impact. The Global Partnership provides the right platform to bring these partners together and ensure we are ready to deliver the UN's new development goals from 2015'.

Foundations of Excellence project concludes
Foundations of Excellence member Joanna Anderson rates action items at the wrap-up meeting using an electronic clicker.
The Transfer-Bound Student portion of Foundations of Excellence concluded with a wrap-up meeting on November 4. The nine dimension committees got together to discuss and vote on recommendations on how Columbus State can better help our students who want to transfer to four-year universities.
Ten action items came from the committees' previous research into how we currently serve transfer-bound students. As a large group, the dimension committees rank-ordered these items, prioritizing what the college should focus on first.
The top three items, in order of priority were:
Doing a better job of connecting students to advising services by increasing the number of advisors and requiring students to attend advising sessions.
Creating a centralized "Transfer Center" where students can gather all of the information and services they need to prepare to transfer.
Requiring mandatory orientation for all new Columbus State students.
For the complete list of prioritized items, visit the Foundations of Excellence intranet site at http://intranet.cscc.edu/foundations.
The wrap up meeting ended with an address by President Harrison, who thanked the group for "setting aside the business of today to determine how we can get better for tomorrow's students." Dr. Harrison emphasized that focusing on preparing students to transfer to a four-year college or university is more important than ever. "College completion is becoming a national imperative and we are better positioned than any college to lead by example." He cited Columbus State's Preferred Pathway program with OSU, and partnerships with other colleges as critical in making sure there is a "liberal arts pathway" for students who want to complete a bachelor's degree.
Dr. Harrison closed by assuring the group that, while changes won't happen overnight, "We will get there. Today's infrastructure may not yet support what we need tomorrow, but the implementation process is already underway thanks, in part, to the work of the Foundations of Excellence committees."
Commemorative bricks can be purchased now!
Do you need a great gift idea? Maybe you know someone who is retiring and you would like to commemorate their time at the college. Or you may just be looking for a gift for someone this holiday season. A brick with a special inscription installed in Columbus State's historic walkway near Aquinas Hall is a great gift! To purchase a brick go to the Foundation website and complete the form. For more information, contact Cindy Hood in the Foundation Office at ext. 5421.
Papers in bins by Friday a.m.
The Iron Mountain secure shredding company will be on campus Friday morning, November 18 to empty the campus secure bins. If you have office paperwork that requires shredding, please make sure you place it in the nearest bin by Friday morning.
Security patches to begin Monday
Starting Monday, November 21, Information Technology will begin patching additional applications outside of the normal monthly Microsoft security patches. This is being done to ensure all applications on Columbus State-owned devices have the required security patches and program updates. Products being checked include Apple (iTunes, Apple Application Support, Quicktime), Java Runtime, Firefox web browser, and Adobe (Flash Player, Reader, Shockwave Player).
This is being done as a back-up as most of the applications noted above automatically prompt you to install new releases when they are available. If you have any questions, please call the Help Desk at ext. 5050.
Reminder: International Student Dinner still needs sponsors
Columbus State's International Enrollment Services will host the annual International Thanksgiving Dinner on Tuesday, November 22, beginning at 5:30 p.m. The event could still use some sponsors at all levels!
The annual event allows our international students and their families to enjoy a traditional American meal with family and friends of the college. Each year has seen increased participation, and this year the department expects more than 100 students to participate.
If you would like to attend the event as well, individual tickets can be purchased for $14 per person. Checks should be made payable to Columbus State Community College and sent to Amy Burrell, international student advisor, in Enrollment Services, MA 111.
Three sponsorship levels are available, as well as the option to attend the dinner:
The GOLD Sponsorship is$140, and provides tickets for 10 international students or covers other event costs.
The SILVER Sponsorship is$70 and provides tickets for 5 international students or covers other event costs.
The BRONZE Sponsorship is$30 and provides tickets for 2 international students or covers other event costs.
The Holiday Challenge--Maintain, Don't Gain!
As the holidays approach, the cold weather makes it hard to stay motivated to maintain your fitness program. Almost every holiday gathering involves the consumption of high-calorie foods. This combination can cause people to gain weight during the holiday season. Columbus State wants to help you through this challenging time by having you participate in the first annual Holiday Challenge, to maintain your weight, not gain it!
Mt. Carmel representatives will weigh-in participants before the Thanksgiving holiday and again after the first of the year. Participants who do not gain more than one pound from the first weigh-in to the last will receive a Dicks' Sporting Goods Store gift certificate! The contest is open to the first 100 employees (including Delaware Campus employees) who RSVP to Nichole Bowman-Glover, Wellness coordinator, ext. 3989 or email@example.com.
The first Weigh-In is Monday, November 21, from 3-5 p.m. in Rhodes Hall Room 114 or Tuesday, November 22, between 8-10 a.m. in RH 232.
The second Weigh-In will be on Wednesday, January 4, between 3-5 p.m. in RH 114 or Friday, January 6, between 8-10 a.m. in RH 114.
How does our food stack up?

Getting towards the end of the traveling day, the scout sees a perfect resting spot well protected from the elements. To get to it the group is forced to struggle through some vines with thorns not unlike those on a rose. It is inevitable that most or all the group will receive scratches but it is a small price to pay for the comfort and protection of the perfect campsite. Funny that the scratches have trouble scabbing over.
That night the effects of the scratches start to take their toll. The thorns hold a toxin that slowly works into the bloodstream causing a deep meditative sleep to take hold. The more scratches the more powerful it is but everybody with scratches would be affected to some extent. Even those on watch can't fight the effects and soon they will be drowsing.
While the sleep that takes hold of them more then doubles their healing rate, it also causes them to be unaware of the creeping vines that start crawling towards them. The vines will wrap themselves around their victims and extract their blood for food.
The vines are intelligent and if somebody on watch is not asleep then the vines will creep along the ground and go after those affected. The vines can innately tell who is affected and their mental state (aware or not). The toxins will keep the victims healthy for a very long time so they can continue to provide food.
1)Smart players, if they escape, will realize how useful it could be if they can extract some of this toxin for future use. Whether to heal themselves or to knock somebody out. Does one try and transplant one to sell?
2)Perhaps the toxins have a fountain of youth effect as well. Wonder who else may be laying around out there. Do they wake them or rob them?

Keira Knightley Talks Working With Adam Levine + Getting Red Carpet-Ready [PHOTO]by Thomas Chau | PopCrush
Keira Knightley graces the cover of the 2014 Glamour issue wearing a fashionable summer dress as she promotes her new movie 'Begin Again' with Adam Levine.
The 29-year-old actress confessed to the magazine that she looks forward to the glitz and glam nature of red carpet events. "I love the bit before, when I've got hair and makeup and there's always a bottle of champagne open, and [my hair and makeup team] have been doing me for the past 10 years and are very close friends," she admitted. "And you know, there are some ridiculous dresses out there. And where on earth are you going to get to wear any of them other than on the red carpet? That's kind of a privilege — dressing up as that sort of person and playing her for a few minutes."
Between 2012 and 2013, Knightley took somewhat of a break between 'Anna Karenina' and 'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit' as she lived a modest lifestyle during that period. When asked about her self-imposed salary earning of only $50,000 for 2012, Knightley said, "I think living an [expensive] lifestyle means you can't hang out with people who don't live that lifestyle. It alienates you. Some of my best, most hilarious times have been in the least luxurious places."
When talk turned to 'Begin Again,' Keira gushed about working with Adam Levine, telling the magazine, "He did play a d—head very well. Actually, I admire him being so willing. To play a d—head is quite a big thing when you are trying to break into film and you want to be likable."
For more on Knightley, pick up the latest issue of Glamour on newsstands.

Keeping these things consider the most important thing which matters most is the privacy no matter how social you are. And How much publicize your things except all these things there is also a line/ boundary of privacy that everyone's requires and demand at some extent or level. Continue dragging this thing most of the times the privacy actually matters during the time of your documentation especially for those who are like a business ongoing person and have command or working on any techno related field and tackle all these kinds of stuff.
So today in this article I will try to highlight the few main facts and figures about the privacies and confidential stuff. Among the list or series of them, the one most famous/ popular well-known name is Windows most of the time we hear that people talk about the windows 10 product keys so what is it and what its role actually in a sense of privacy? So without piddling the time let's get the ball rolling and have a look at the basic credentials of the windows 10 product key.

Well, these keys are also known as the Item keys that are mainly functionalized by programming engineers. They ensure their items against theft. In short it is not wrong to say that, Tragically, they're anything but difficult to lose, despite this, on the other hand, let's suppose that if you've purchased a work area PC or workstation with the pack of Windows 10 as of now introduced, so then automatically you'll most likely discover its item key on a Certified or you can say with an Authenticity sticker included printed material, yet not in the event that you've constructed your own particular PC and introduced the working framework yourself. It's a normal and genuine thing to do without any asking.
Many applications likewise require item/ product keys that you need to reinstall them –or in case that you have lost the email you got when you initially introduced them again, so this means that you could faced a bad position later on.
Item/ product key discoverers work for programming that is as of now introduced, so download one no matter which you want to download but as per my opinion Win 10 product key is reliable which helps you to and make a note of all and set up ahead of time.
Windows 10 Home Edition Keys
Windows 10 Single Language Key
Windows 10 Education
Windows 10 Enterprise
Windows 10 Pro Serial Key
Windows 10 product key: Technical Preview for Consumer
Windows 10 product number:
Key for Every kind of edition:
2017 product keys for Windows 10
If none of the above keys work, try using 2019 Windows 10 product keys which are mentioned below.
If you have been working on WordPress, I bet you will get this example. There are people would simply download the plugin and with a few touches they will perform a task as difficult as compressing heavy photos into small size.
But there will always be those who will not trust those plugins and always like to tweak the code to get the required result.
This fix is for that type of people. If you do not need a readymade solution like KMSpico, you can give it a try and God knows that it works.
Here is how you do it (Steps to Follow):
Activate window and office products
Virus free and Safe (Clean)
Lifetime Activation
No fraud or detection Problems.
The thing which makes unique and rare windows 10 activation key from others is that; it is a brisk method to discover your Windows item key. Rest it is;
It is right to say that Windows 10 Keygen is super quick, taking scarcely a moment to check your framework or the outcomes.
But this is not the end, except this; on the other hand, this Windows 10 product keys shouldn't really turn or let you off, however. In spite of the fact that it doesn't discover serial no's like for different applications, it provides some additional data regarding Operating System, as well as also including enrolled client, introduces date and then the last boot time credentials too. Undoubtedly, it's perfect with renditions of the working framework.
No matter whether you redesigned for Windows 7 or 8, Win 10 activation key will have actuated naturally in the wake of associating with Microsoft's servers on the web. You didn't have to enter an item/ product key as you were qualified for Windows 10 by ethicalness of having a certifiable customer duplicate of Windows 7 or 8.
In spite of this, keep this thing remember that there are few things, tricks, and tactics that you have to always remember and before going to do or put yourself in make sure that you have fully aware and know the things mannerly.
Like, keep this thing in your mind that serial Windows 10 product key ought to actuate as long as you haven't rolled out any significant improvements to your PC. Like Updating from a hard plate to an SSD won't influence anything, nor will changing your illustrations card. Same like this, on the other side, redesigning your motherboard and processor will presumably consider 'huge' and you'll need to ring Microsoft's helpline in the event that you find that Windows is never again actuated, or you're reinstalling it.
After this, the next thing which comes to your mind is that then how would I check that whether upgrade key is enacted or not?
So for this, there is no need to be a worry. For this the Right-tap on the Start or the pick System from the menu that shows up helps you out, like, Under Windows Activation, you should see "Windows is initiated".
(Note: If you have the Creators Update introduced, you'll see a somewhat extraordinary screen: tap on 'About' at the base of the left-hand menu, at that point on the 'Change item/ product key or redesign your version of Windows' connection.)
So then after this, At that point you'll see the status: rest, also, on the other hand, you can tap on Settings on the Start Menu, and then there at that point check and click on update and Security option then there you will see the segment called Activation.
Wrapping it up:
Last but not the least, in a sum up way, hope that by reading the above points will surely help you out and make the view and concept of home key clear. Utilize windows 10 activator as an alternative, If you are unable to install Windows 10 Product keys from this list. As we all know, these are free keys, which may work or not on some systems. So, You can use these following KMS software to activate windows 10 still without paying money.
Note: If you are sick of old keys, which are not working, check below generator tool once and it will give your fresh values.

Subscribe To Sony Dives Into A Darker Version Of The Little Mermaid Updates
I've already subscribed
Swim on out of here, Ariel. Things are about to get pretty dark under the sea.
Sony reportedly is moving ahead with a mermaid project that puts a noir spin on the cherished Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale. This new film, derived from Carolyn Turgeon's novel Mermaid: A Twist on the Classic Tale, shifts the story's narrative focus in a totally different direction. Mermaid is told from the perspective of a downtrodden princess who hatches a scheme to marry the prince of her rival kingdom, thereby saving her people. The only problem, as she discovers, is that the prince's heart belongs to a beautiful sea creature who has sacrificed everything so that they can be together.
Mermaid sounds like it is following a blueprint used by the Broadway sensation Wicked, which also retold an extremely familiar tale -- in that case, The Wizard of Oz -- but changed perspective and filled in gaps by viewing the entire story through the eyes of the Wicked Witch of the West. It was brilliant in both concept and execution, and we'll be lucky if Sony's Mermaid is half as effective.
The Hollywood Reporter says Sony is setting Mermaid up for Country Strong filmmaker Shana Feste, and she will write and direct the project with Tobey Maguire and Jenno Topping producing through the actor's Material Pictures banner.

Paris shines in new Woody Allen film
I have a love-hate relationship with Woody Allen. But lately we've been all hearts and flowers. First the very British "Match Point," then the Latin romance of "Vicki Cristina Barcelona," and now the airy delicious soufflé that is "Midnight in Paris." Allen seems an ex-patriot by now, he's been gone so long. But we're the better for it if this grand tour inspires him to create such wonderful little films as this.
Owen Wilson plays Gil, the typical Allen protagonist, a very successful screenwriter who longs to finish his great novel and have it published. Owen adapts Allen's mannerisms and speech patterns with ease and even dresses the part in wrinkled khakis and plaid shirts, Allen's wardrobe de rigueur.
That this movie is a love letter there is little doubt, but it's not between Gil and his strident fiancée, Inez (Rachel McAdams). They've visiting Paris with her parents, a couple of Tea Party types that Allen uses to poke a little fun at conservatives. By day, Gil joins in on the sightseeing as he waxes about how inspired he feels in the City of Lights. But Inez is more focused on their friend Paul (played with pretentious hilarity by Michael Sheen), a know-it-all boor about all things cultural.
On a solo midnight stroll, Gil finds himself in a vintage touring car with a group of revelers. Characters named Zelda and F. Scott offer him champagne and invite him to a party where a fellow named Cole is playing the piano. Somehow Gil has been transported to the 1920s and each night at the stroke of 12, he visits bars and parties and the drawing room of Gertrude Stein (Kathy Bates) where he converses with Picasso and Hemingway, who give him writing tips.
Here he meets Adriana (Marion Cotillard), who believes the perfect time was La Belle Époque, and longs to visit it, which she and Gil eventually do, spending the evening at the famed Maxim's with notable figures of that era. But his double life is catching up to him when Inez starts to question where he's going each night.In Allen's world, it is perfectly acceptable that a character can move so easily in time and Gil's bewilderment quickly gives way to curiosity and wonder as he seeks the wisdom and advice from a host of writers and artists. This is Allen's homage to a place and time when some of the best and brightest lived and communed with one another as they produced some of the greatest literature and art that exists today. Lucky Gil.
But as one character points out, "Nostalgia is denial," and running away each night to escape is something Gil cannot sustain indefinitely, so expect a resolution typical of Allen's films with a wistful if happy ending.
"Midnight" is a lighthearted piece that in itself is vintage of another sort as it recalls some of Allen's better films. He's in fine form here with a great cast including Allison Pill as Zelda Fitzgerald, Mimi Kennedy as Inez's condescending mother, and first lady of France Carla Bruni as a tour guide. And Bates is a standout as the Stein.
The jazzy score lends a jaunty note to the proceedings, and the photography of Darius Khondji, a frequent Allen collaborator, is luscious. Paris has never looked better. Woody, where are we going next?
"Midnight in Paris" is playing exclusively at the Landmark River Oaks in Houston.

FS#243 - Sphere sweep behaves wrong when scaled
Opened by Simon (infoised) - Sunday, 27 May 2012, 18:02 GMT
Last edited by William F Pokorny (wfpokorny) - Sunday, 30 April 2017, 13:56 GMT
The sphere_sweep renders well when specified directly, but when it is scaled, its bounding box is calculated incorrectly, which clips the object so it almost disappears.
The effect is present for all three types of splines.
I'm attaching a test scene and the rendering result. The saving of the object with #declare has no effect, I just wanted to show both transformed and untransformed version.
I don't think this issue is related to other artifacts occuring with sphere_sweep, as it is obviously an issue of the internal bounding box.
The bounding of spline-based sphere sweeps never worked right and it known to have many bugs, in particular because the bounding box does not correctly consider splines were the curve extends beyond the control points. Transformations just make the problems more apparent. The best solution is to manually bound sphere-sweeps.
Found the error. It's an easy fix. The SphereSweep::Scale has a special case for scaling if scaling is uniform: it simply multiplies all vectors AND ALL RADII by the scaling factor. This makes radius negative for negative scaling factors, which makes the bounding box shrink instead of grow. The code should be
void SphereSweep::Scale(const VECTOR Vector, const TRANSFORM *tr) { if((Vector[X] != Vector[Y]) || (Vector[X] != Vector[Z])) { if(Trans == NULL) Trans = Create_Transform(); } if(Trans == NULL) { for(int i = 0; i < Num_Modeling_Spheres; i++) { VScaleEq(Modeling_Sphere[i].Center, Vector[X]); Modeling_Sphere[i].Radius *= fabs(Vector[X]); /*missing absolute value*/ } Compute(); Compute_BBox(); } else Transform(tr); }
This fixes the bounding box for linear_spline (linear splines never stick out of their bounding box, so they don't have the same problems as the other types).
As for other problems with bounding boxes: for cubic_spline and b_spline, the bounding box in the code is heuristically made a bit bigger, but may still be too small in some cases. It is possible to find roots of the derivatives of cubic polynomials that describe the spline to get exact bounding values.
I agree, the scaling of the radius should use the absolute value. scale -1 is traditional, it shouldn't break the sphere_sweep when used alone or first.
- Field changed: Status (New → Tracked on GitHub)
Now tracked on github as issue #285.

The Brain - The Language Fossils Buried in Every Cell of Your Body
by Carl Zimmer
作者:卡尔 齐默
From the October 2011 issue; published online October 17, 2011
It is a shame that grammar leaves no fossils behind. Few things have been more important to our evolutionary history than language. Because our ancestors could talk to each other, they became a powerfully cooperative species. In modern society we are so submerged in words—spoken, written, signed, and texted—that they seem inseparable from human identity. And yet we cannot excavate some fossil from an Ethiopian hillside, point to a bone, and declare, "This is where language began."
Lacking hard evidence, scholars of the past speculated broadly about the origin of language. Some claimed that it started out as cries of pain, which gradually crystallized into distinct words. Others traced it back to music, to the imitation of animal grunts, or to birdsong. In 1866 the Linguistic Society of Paris got so exasperated by these unmoored musings that it banned all communication on the origin of language. Its English counterpart felt the same way. In 1873 the president of the Philological Society of London declared that linguists "shall do more by tracing the historical growth of one single work-a-day tongue, than by filling wastepaper baskets with reams of paper covered with speculations on the origin of all tongues."
A century passed before linguists had a serious change of heart. The change came as they began to look at the deep structure of language itself. MIT linguist Noam Chomsky asserted that the way children acquire language is so effortless that it must have a biological foundation. Building on this idea, some of his colleagues argued that language is an adaptation shaped by natural selection, just like eyes and wings. If so, it should be possible to find clues about how human language evolved from grunts or gestures by observing the communication of our close primate relatives.
从那时起过了一个世纪,语言学家们才开始转变思想。他们开始检视语言本身的深层次结构。麻省理工的语言学家诺曼 乔姆斯基断言,由于儿童学习语言的方式如此轻松,因此必定有其生物基础。从这个观点出发,他的同僚们也主张语言是由于自然选择而形成的适应结果,就像眼睛和翅膀一样。如果属实,那就应该有可能找到从观察模仿我们的灵长类近亲用叫声或手势交流而逐渐进化到人类语言过程的痕迹。
This line of thinking raised an exciting possibility: Perhaps language left a fossil record after all—not in buried bones, but in our DNA. Yet for years biologists could not find a single gene involved in language.
Ten years ago, that finally changed. In 2001 a team of British scientists announced the discovery of a gene, called FOXP2, that seems to be essential for language. FOXP2 came to light through the study of a family that had unusual difficulties with words. The KE family—so called in scientific papers for privacy reasons—lived in West London and included nine siblings, some of whom attended the same special speech and language school. Psychologists at the school discovered that four of the children struggled with language in a similar way. The meaning of sentences sometimes confused them: They might misinterpret "The girl is chased by the horse" to mean "The girl is chasing the horse." They also had trouble speaking—dropping some sounds off the beginning of words, for example, so that they would say "able" when they meant "table."
In 1987 the school headmistress referred the case to the Institute of Child Health at University College London. There, neurologists found that some of the children's cousins had the same language troubles, as did some of the parents. Geneticists traced the condition to a grandmother and deduced that she probably carried a rare mutation that she had passed along. The mutation did not alter intelligence or psychological well-being; the KE family was normal in those regards. Its effects were limited to language—but within that narrow sphere, its effects were profound.
The family then came to the attention of geneticists at Oxford, who began a dogged search for the gene that caused these problems. They compared the DNA of family members, looking for distinctive markers shared only among the ones who had trouble with language. Among those with the language deficit, they found shared markers in a single region of chromosome 7. Years later, the scientists received a vital new clue when the same kind of language disorder was identified in an unrelated 5-year-old boy. He had experienced a particularly dramatic mutation, in which a piece of chromosome 5 had been swapped with a piece of chromosome 7. One end of the boy's swapped DNA lodged itself in the same region that the Oxford team had identified in the West London family, right in the middle of the FOXP2 gene.
The Oxford researchers turned back from the boy to the KE family and, using the additional information, discovered that those members with language troubles shared a mutation in FOXP2 as well. Their mutation was far more subtle, however. Their trouble with language had been caused by the change of a single nucleotide of DNA—just one letter in the genetic sequence.
All land vertebrates carry a version of the FOXP2 gene, so some of the Oxford researchers then teamed up with colleagues from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany to analyze what is unique about the variant in humans and to track how the gene had evolved in our ancestors. They determined that after the gene arose, more than 300 million years ago, it barely changed in most branches of vertebrate evolution to the present day. In the human branch, however, two amino acids in the protein produced by the FOXP2 gene changed notably over the course of just a few million years. The scientists concluded that FOXP2 experienced a fast pulse of natural selection in our lineage, a development possibly related to the emergence of language.
Several groups are now hard at work gleaning more details about the relationship between FOXP2 and language. Cognitive neuroscientist Frederique Liegeois of University College London is using fMRI scans to compare the brain activity of members of the KE family who have a mutated copy of FOXP2 with those who have a normal version. The most striking difference, Liegeois recently reported, arises when family members are asked to repeat a set of nonsense words, something most adults can do without trouble. Those with the mutation do badly at the task. They also have low levels of activity in several regions of the brain, especially the basal ganglia, a key hub for learning muscle movements. That makes sense, since one of the hardest aspects of speech is learning how to make the necessary rapid movements of the lips, tongue, and vocal cords.
目前有数个团队正在努力寻找关于FOXP2基因和语言之间的联系的更多细节。伦敦大学学院的认知神经学家弗雷德里克 列日瓦使用功能性核磁共振(fMRI)对KE家庭中FOXP2基因产生突变的成员和其他家庭成员的大脑活动进行比对。列日瓦最近的报告称,两组之间最显著的不同在于当他们被要求重复一组没有任何意义的词语时(这件事大多数成年人都没有任何困难),那些产生了基因突变的家庭成员表现非常糟,同时他们的大脑活动水平在若干区域内也非常低,尤其在基底神经节上,而基底神经节是学习肌肉运动的关键环节。这种发现是说得通的,学习语言当中最困难的部分就是如何使用嘴唇、舌头和声带作出相应的迅速运动。
Other scientists are probing the FOXP2 gene further by studying the protein it produces, known as FOXP2. The protein seems to be especially active while human embryos are developing. Simon Fisher—one of the original Oxford geneticists, now at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in the Netherlands—has found that the gene switches on in neurons within certain regions of the brain, including the basal ganglia. The FOXP2 protein then latches onto other genes in developing neurons and switches them on or off as well. By orchestrating dozens of genes, FOXP2 appears to oversee the growth of new branches on the neurons, bringing about a level of complexity likely to facilitate language.
Humans are not the only species to benefit from FOXP2. Researchers have shown that the gene is associated with vocal learning in young songbirds, which produce higher levels of FOXP2 protein when they need to learn new songs. If their version of FOXP2 is impaired, they make singing mistakes. Other vocal-learning species, such as whales, bats, elephants, and seals, may also rely on the gene. To probe this connection, geneticist Wolfgang Enard of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology engineered mice by replacing their FOXP2 gene with the human one. The mice did not start reciting poetry, but they did display some subtle changes. Instead of producing a high squeak, for example, the engineered mice produced lower sounds. Bigger changes took place within the animals' brains. Enard found that in the basal ganglia and connected regions involved in learning, the human version of FOXP2 caused some neurons to develop longer branches than those found in normal mice. Around the same time, Fisher and his team engineered mice so that one copy of their FOXP2 gene carried the same mutation as that found in the KE family. In subsequent tests, the mice with the mutation did a worse job than normal mice at learning new motor skills.
These findings hint at what happened to FOXP2 in our ancestors. It may have started out hundreds of millions of years ago as a gene that helped regulate the learning of body movements, such as those involved in running, calling, and biting. Later mutations in the gene spurred more neural growth in certain areas of the brain, including the basal ganglia, creating the connections essential for learning and mastering complicated sounds and, eventually, full-blown language.
FOXP2 didn't give us language all on its own. In our brains, it acts more like a foreman, handing out instructions to at least 84 target genes in the developing basal ganglia. Even this full crew of genes explains language only in part, because the ability to form words is just the beginning. Then comes the higher level of complexity: combining words according to rules of grammar to give them meaning.
Language is nearly endless in its forms. So the search for its behavioral fossils—genes associated with grammar and syntax—should keep scientists busy for decades to come.

States boost energy efficiency but which do best?
Energy policy may be divisive on Capitol Hill and the campaign trail, but states — blue and red — are making major gains in energy efficiency, says a 50-state scorecard released today.
Two of the three states with the greatest improvements — Oklahoma and South Carolina — have Republican governors and GOP-controlled state legislatures while the third, Montana, has a Democratic governor but a split legislature, according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, a non-profit research group.
All three states boosted spending on efficiency programs for electric power last year, and Oklahoma — which moved up eight spots to 39th best this year — made similar efforts for natural gas for the first time. The report says other states showing progress — Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina and Pennsylvania — also increased funding for efficiency programs as a way to meet their goals for saving energy.
"These findings show that energy efficiency is being embraced by Republicans and Democrats alike at the state level," said ACEEE executive director Steven Nadel.
As in past years, however, most of the scorecard's top 10 states lean Democratic: Massachusetts (second year in first place), California, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Washington, Maryland and Minnesota. That's not the case for the bottom 10: Mississippi (last place), North Dakota, West Virginia, Wyoming, South Dakota, Alaska, Kansas, Missouri, Louisiana and Nebraska.
Nationwide, utilities spent $7 billion last year on electric and natural gas efficiency programs, up 27% from 2010, according to the report. Such customer-funded efforts saved 40% more power in 2010 than in 2009, amounting to 18 million megawatt-hours — roughly the amount of electricity Wyoming uses each year. The scorecard ranks states based on utility programs, transportation policies, building energy codes, heat and power usage, state government initiatives and appliance efficiency standards.
Other data released Wednesday also cite U.S. efficiency gains.
The average fuel economy (window-sticker value) of new vehicles sold in the USA last month was 23.8 miles a gallon, up 18% in five years, reports Michael Sivak of the University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute. He says the university's Eco-Driving Index, began in October 2007, also found that the greenhouse gases generated by an individual U.S. driver fell 20% during the same period.
Nationwide, total annual carbon emissions have fallen nearly 9% since 2005, according to an analysis released Tuesday by Climate Central, a non-profit scientific research group. The study says the primary reason was the recession, but other factors include the increased use of natural gas, renewable power and energy-saving technologies.
Yet it says this fall in emissions is unlikely to last once the economy rebounds and the demand for energy increases, because the United States still relies on fossil fuels for 80% of its power.

Subscribe To Charges Dropped Against Jon Bon Jovi's Daughter Thanks To Obscure Law Updates
I've already subscribed
Jon Bon Jovi's daughter won't face criminal prosecution over her recent overdose. The nineteen-year-old college student was rushed to the hospital early yesterday morning and later charged with possession of heroin and marijuana, but thanks to a recently passed law, both she and the other college student who phoned the police and later got arrested cannot legally be prosecuted.
According to The Utica Observer Dispatch, no witness who seeks help for someone who suffered an overdose can be charged with a crime in New York, provided he or she doesn't possess more than eight ounces of heroin. The overdose victim is also free from prosecution under the same piece of legislation, meaning both Stephanie R Bongiovi and Ian Grant will not be charged for the scary incident.
The local police department officially announced the dropping of the charges this afternoon, but even though Bongiovi is off the hook legally, it's likely she'll still face serious repercussions from both Hamilton College and her parents. Injecting or snorting heroin inside a dorm room is obviously a gross violation of the student handbook, and one would imagine Jon and his wife won't be overly excited about continuing to pay for Stephanie's education until she gets clean.
Without any real knowledge of her past or the circumstances surrounding the overdose, it's hard to tell whether this was a one-time stupid decision or a gigantic life problem. Either way, heroin has never been a good life call for anyone. Here's to hoping Stephanie gets the help she needs sooner rather than later.

Editor's Note: In a memo to its RV dealer clients distributed earlier today (May 14), Ally Financial outlined an array of strategic actions intended to "strengthen the company's longer term financial profile, accelerate repayment of the U.S. Treasury's investment and further grow our leading U.S.-based automotive/RV services and direct banking franchises." Here's the thrust of that memo:
"First, the mortgage subsidiary of Ally Financial Inc., Residential Capital LLC (ResCap), filed for Chapter 11. Be assured, Ally Financial, Ally Bank and all other Ally entities are not part of the ResCap Chapter 11 and there is no change or interruption to our business operations as a result.
"ResCap's plan includes proposed settlements among Ally, ResCap and certain of ResCap's creditors that provides for resolution of all existing and potential claims between Ally and ResCap, as well as a release of all existing or potential causes of action against Ally by third parties. The settlements are subject to court approval. Ally's equity interest in ResCap will be written-down to zero. ResCap and its origination and servicing platform are expected to operate in the ordinary course during this process, preserving more than 3,500 jobs.
"Secondly, Ally Financial will launch a process to explore strategic alternatives for its international operations. Our international businesses represent strong franchises in each of their respective countries, and we aim to maximize shareholder value in a timely manner, while also protecting the interests of the dealers and automakers that the company serves.
"These actions will enable Ally to further invest in our leading U.S. automotive/RV services and direct banking franchises and be best positioned to return additional capital to the U.S. taxpayer. To date, Ally has paid approximately $5.5 billion to the U.S. Treasury, representing about one third of the investment. Upon successful completion of the announced strategic initiatives, Ally expects to return at least another third of the total investment by year-end.
"We believe that our U.S. Auto/RV platform and Ally Bank together provide a winning combination in serving the needs of dealers and their customers."

TUSCALOOSA, AL (WBRC) - The Crimson Tide jumped back into the BCS race on Saturday after losses to both Kansas State and Oregon. Alabama's new No. 2 ranking gives them another shot at a national championship run.
"Really, I didn't expect it to happen this fast," said CJ Mosley. "But they lost and we are in a position to do something great."
But Alabama understands that as easy as it was for them to move back into the top two they can lose it all in a single loss.
"We have to take advantage of every opportunity no matter what," said Nico Johnson. "We have a chance to do something special and to let it slip by a second time I don't think we're going to let that happen."
Alabama takes on Auburn at 2:30 Saturday afternoon in Bryant-Denny stadium.

"These men of desire-or do they not yet exist?-are like Zarathustra. They know incredible sufferings, vertigos, and sicknesses. They have their specters. They must reinvent each gesture. But such a man produces himself as a free man, irresponsible, solitary, and joyous, finally able to say and to do something simple in his own name, without asking permission; a desire lacking nothing, a flux that overcomes barriers and codes, a name that no longer designates any ego whatsoever. He has simply ceased being afraid of becoming mad. He experiences and lives himself as the sublime sickness that will no longer affect him. Here, what is, what would a psychiatrist be worth?"

Q. I want to install fluorescent strip lights on a sheetrock ceiling. Can I support the fixtures directly over the recessed outlet box and connect to the branch-circuit wiring through a chase nipple?
A. No. When an electric-discharge luminaire is surface mounted over a concealed outlet box, and not solely supported by the outlet box, the luminaire must be provided with suitable openings that permit access to the branch-circuit wiring within the outlet box [410.14(B)].

A reading for the care of the mourners, and one of the more popular among funeral choices:
On one occasion, Jesus spoke thus:
"I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
for although you have hidden these things
from the wise and the learned
you have revealed them to the childlike.
Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.
All things have been handed over to me by my Father.
No one knows the Son except the Father,
and no one knows the Father except the Son
and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.
"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,
for I am meek and humble of heart;
and you will find rest for yourselves.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden light."
The first part of this reading has always struck me as an echo of Saint John's Gospel. And still appropriate today. We have all sorts of knowledge about human health, medicine, and even the dying process. When my brother died, some family members wanted details. Did he survive the accident? Was he aware? What internal injuries were there? What happened to his heart?
I found myself less curious about those factual things. My brother died. I didn't feel like being wise and learned. I felt burdened with grief and loss. I wanted an encounter with Christ, not the medical examiner.
A pastoral minister will be attentive to the wide variety of approaches that mourners bring to a time of death. Some might feel that knowledge and information about death is important. Taking people where they are, that is satisfactory in itself. But a person of faith will likely want more. How can we possibly learn from the burdens of life? What will Christ teach us?
I think this reading provides ample reflection material for an effective ministry to mourners, as well as keeping the Christ-centered perspective. Christ has the answers. Not medical science. Not superstitions. Christ will give what we need, if we only turn to him and unburden ourselves.

Eager to hit the ground running once he's wrapped his final season on "The Office," Steve Carell has lined up a film in which he'll star as the man who had a hand in writing one of the most wretched songs to ever top the Billboard charts.
Carell has hired Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley to adapt the documentary "Of All the Things," about '70s pop songwriter Dennis Lambert, who charted more songs than anyone this side of Lennon & McCartney, but whose solo debut "Bags and Things" was met with utter indifference.
Despite having previously penned hits like "Ain't No Woman (Like the One I've Got)" and the unforgivable "We Built This City" -- which even Lambert acknowledges is pretty bad -- response to "Bags" was so bleak it drove Lambert into the real estate business, but his fame improbably never waned -- in the Philippines.
"Dennis left the music business and was selling real estate in Florida when he was told by a Filipino promoter that he's still huge there because his album had been so successful. The promoter begged him to tour," Daley told Deadline. "Finally, in his 60s and 20 years removed from the music business, Dennis says yes and suddenly he's playing packed 10,000 seat arenas. The movie will be about what happens when a middle-aged guy finds himself a rock star who realizes dreams he never got to live out."
So Dennis' son Jody made a documentary about his father's bizarre journey to the Pacific, where he was greeted "like Britney Spears," a story that Carell will now bring to a larger audience.
Frankly the idea of Carell singing fills us with dread.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Lipscomb women's tennis team left the Richland Country Club still searching for their first win of the season after losing to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga 7-0 Saturday.
The Mocs swept both the singles and doubles competition.
Lipcomb head coach Andrew Harris gave credit to the Mocs, led by head coach Jeff Clark, for their performance.
"Give UTC a lot of credit," Harris said. "Jeff had their girls prepared mentally and physically. We didn't respond the way we were looking to and ended up getting behind early."
Harris said he hopes that the team will learn from their previous matches and will carry those lessons into conference play.
"We have two weeks until the next match, and we need to continue to use every day as an opportunity to improve," Harris said. "This is a great group of girls. We are in a learning process and will be better for it comes to conference play."
The Mocs improve to 4-0, while the Lady Bisons drop to 0-4.
The women's team is back in action Feb. 8 against Tennessee State from the Ohio Valley Conference.

'Pretty Little Liars' Cast Celebrates 100th Episode [PHOTO]by Thomas Chau | PopCrush
How fast time has passed by!
The cast and crew of ABC Family's hit show 'Pretty Little Liars' celebrated production on the show's 100th episode Saturday night. Among those in attendance included stars Sasha Pieterse, Lucy Hale, Ashley Benson, Keegan Allen, Shay Mitchell and Troian Bellisario.
Not only is 100 episodes a special feat since most television shows don't last that long, but 100 shows is the targeted benchmark for any TV series in production since it usually opens the door for syndication opportunities. In other words, you might be catching 'Pretty Little Liars' reruns soon on channels other than ABC Family.
Keegan Allen took to Instagram to post a picture of the cast and crew slicing a giant cake marking the occasion. The cake has the text "Celebrating 100 Episodes B—-s" along with a letter 'A' at the top.
'Pretty Little Liars' is based on the young adult novel series by Sara Shepard and concluded its fourth season on March 18. Season five will debut on June 10.

End of spam, phishing threats not far off
Viruses, spam and phishing aren't going away overnight. But for 2006, one research firm says a new set of messaging security threats will take center stage.
Viruses, spam and phishing may have been big messaging security threats in 2005, but this year expect secure archiving, risk management and layered threat prevention to take center stage.
That's the forecast from San Francisco-based Ferris Research, which last week unveiled its latest report, Top 10 Messaging & Collaboration Issues of 2006.
According to one of the report's authors, Ferris Lead Analyst Richi Jennings, traditionally vexing problems like spam and phishing still exist, but increasingly sophisticated antispam software and its ubiquitous use are mitigating those threats.
"Spam will continue, but people will no longer see it," Jennings said. "And if they can't see it, they can't buy things from spam ads. And if they can't buy, then the spammers don't get paid, since they work on commission. And if they don't get paid, there's no more incentive, and then presto, the spam problem implodes."
But that won't happen overnight. Jennings said it's likely to be another 18-24 months before the spam industry recedes. Phishing may take even longer, he said, but it's only a matter of time before it goes away as well, thanks to improved defenses and an increased willingness among companies exploited as phishing fronts -- eBay, PayPal and major banks, most notably -- to go after phishing outfits.
As a result, Ferris sees other security issues taking the fore. E-mail archiving and retention topped the overall list. Jennings sees it as a security issue because compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other government regulations typically mandates secure retention and purging of messaging archives. He said most organizations will need add-on software products or new hosted services to complete these tasks.
The bottom line, Jennings said, is that organizations can no longer risk losing sensitive information that could in turn result in a regulatory violation. "Regulations like HIPAA have a great deal to say about the security and privacy of heath care information," he said, "so I think it should be very much top-of-mind."
Mobile messaging security is becoming more important as well, but many fail to realize that it's a two-fold issue. In addition to securing mobile data and the devices it resides upon -- "If someone comes across a lost BlackBerry and wants to extract the data," Jennings said, "it can be quite easy to do," -- it's necessary to constantly monitor and evaluate the risk management aspects of mobile messaging.
For instance, Jennings said, mobile messaging requires an organization to "punch through the firewall and expose a service using an additional protocol," but doing so creates another potential point of entry that attackers could exploit.
"It's a classic risk management argument, and it's something some people don't understand well," Jennings said. "They don't understand how to go about making risk management decisions and understanding the implications, particularly the small and medium-size organizations that choose to run all their IT themselves."
Zero-hour exploit control is also an increasingly urgent issue, Jennings said, because several incidents in 2005 proved that attackers can take advantage of vulnerabilities almost immediately with damaging consequences, most notably the Zotob attacks of last summer that caused network outages at CNN, ABC and The New York Times.
Despite the myriad of emerging messaging threats, Jennings said the best way to circumvent any number of them is through a layered defense strategy, such as using a perimeter security product from one vendor, a messaging-specific product from a second vendor and desktop security software from a third. That way, if one vendor's product fails to spot a problem, perhaps another will.
"It's tempting to go with one vendor whom you're familiar with and just buy an all-in-one product," Jennings said, "but for zero-hour exploits and variability among vendors, it's a good idea to have several security layers."
He also recommended always tracking state-of-the-art messaging security products, because better techniques are always emerging. "The bad guys aren't standing still," Jennings said, "so you shouldn't stand still either."

MANILA, Philippines - The Philippines on Friday rejected a Chinese demand that it remove a grounded navy ship from a disputed shoal in the South China Sea, saying the vessel is a permanent government outpost.
China's coast guard prevented two Philippine civilian vessels from delivering supplies to the rusting ship at Second Thomas Shoal on Sunday, escalating tensions in the area. The Philippines and the U.S. have called Beijing's action provocative. The shoal is called Ayungin in the Philippines and Ren'ai Reef in China.
The ship "was placed in Ayungin Shoal in 1999 to serve as a permanent Philippine government installation in response to China's illegal occupation of Mischief Reef in 1995," Department of Foreign Affairs spokesman Raul Hernandez said in a statement Friday. Mischief Reef is another Philippine-claimed outcropping in the disputed Spratly islands in the South China Sea.
"The Philippines reiterates that Ayungin Shoal is part of its continental shelf over which the Philippines has sovereign rights and jurisdiction," Hernandez said.
Philippine officials have previously said the military hospital ship ran aground in 1999 on the shallow coral reef and could not be removed because of a lack of funds and capability. Friday's statement was the first acknowledgement that the ship was deliberately sent to the shoal as a government outpost.
China claims virtually the entire South China Sea, resource-rich waters where other neighboring nations also have claims.
On Thursday, a Philippine security official said the navy would send supplies on other vessels to the soldiers stationed on the grounded ship because the men were running short of food and water. The official, who did not want to be identified because he was not authorized to discuss the matter with the media, did not say when the supplies would be dispatched.
He said a small navy plane had dropped several days' worth of drinking water to the troops.
"It's not that we're trying to court China's ire," he said. "We do not want to starve our people to death."
