Cookie jars with brightly painted designs or amusing figural shapes became popular in the mid-1930s. They became very popular again when Andy Warhol's collection was auctioned after his death in 1987. Prices have gone down since then and are very low. Many companies made them and collectors search for cookie jars either by design or by maker's name. Brush Pottery Company made the first ceramic cookie jar and Nelson McCoy made the best-known cookie jars in the 1930s. Listed here are examples by the less common makers. Major factories are listed under their own names in other categories of the book, such as Abingdon, Brush, Hull, McCoy, Metlox, Red Wing, and Shawnee. See also the Disneyana category.

(May 12, 2009)--Bexar County Commissioner Kevin Wolff (Precinct 3), the UTSA College of Architecture and construction professionals celebrated May 11 the completion of the second successful design-build project at Raymond Russell Park. UTSA students designed and built a nature trail, observation decks and canopies at the park in North Bexar County. They also stabilized and restored an existing structure on the site.
>> View KABB-TV and KSAT-TV news video of the Raymond Russell Park project.
The unique partnership began in 2005 when UTSA architecture lecturer Diane Hays approached then-Commissioner Lyle Larson about partnering her students with the county to design and build park improvements. Raymond Russell Park was due for renovation and presented the perfect opportunity for students to get hands-on experience while reducing labor costs for the county. The first project, a pavilion and kitchen, was dedicated in 2007.
"As a county commissioner, I may not be able to have a direct influence on our higher education system," Wolff said. "But, pursuing these opportunities for partnering students with real-life experience is definitely one way we can have a positive impact and add even more value to their degrees."
The second project required the purchase of a private homestead that had been washed away completely in the flood of 2002. With the park on a floodplain, the students had to design the structures to allow water to flow under and over with minimal damage. As they worked to clear the land, they discovered slabs, existing wells, landscape walls, animal cages and other debris that forced them to adapt and be spontaneous.
After designing the structures in consultation with an engineer, the students then had to create construction documents and start building the improvements. They typically were on the job site from 7 a.m. to noon, Monday through Friday, and were accountable to the general contractor's project superintendent. Keeping contractors' hours as much as possible, the students made up missed hours on afternoons and weekends -- one student came to the site to pour concrete at 3 a.m. because it was the only time he had between studying and taking finals.
"UTSA's community partnerships create tremendous opportunity for student growth, experience and learning," said Robert Baron, interim dean of the UTSA College of Architecture. "Through this design-build project with Bexar County at Raymond Russell Park, our students have had the opportunity to simultaneously serve the community and develop their professional skills."
The raised observation decks serve as outdoor gathering or classroom spaces, and the large canopies made of recycled steel pipes and wood panels also serve as landmarks for gatherings. The students worked with an accessibility specialist to ensure the decomposed granite nature trail is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Additionally, the UTSA students created a master plan for the 20-plus acre park, and the next project could be renovation of another pavilion at the 58-year-old county park.
"We look forward to future collaborations of this kind for our students to serve and learn through community engagement," Baron said.

Earlier in the week a Russian hacker—Alexy Borodin—revealed a fairly easy way to make in-app purchases in iOS without actually paying for them. Apple has of course since been working on a fix to the gaping hole, but adding insult to injury, Alexy has now revealed that a very similar hack also works with desktop apps downloaded from the Mac App Store.
Exploiting the hack under OS X takes the same approach as it did under iOS, except that you'll also need to download and use the cleverly named Grim Receiper app Alexy developed. Apple will no doubt be addressing the issue for the Mac App Store as quickly as it did for the iOS App Store, but at this point it's becoming a cat and mouse game between the company and Alexy that he seems intent on winning.

Wave goodbye to your TV... literally
Out goes the remote, in comes gesturing tech
Losing a remote control down the back of the sofa could soon become a thing of the past, thanks to two Australian boffins' development of a TV controller system operated entirely by hand signals.
The system combines a webcam, a gesture processing unit and a universal remote control. The webcam captures the hand signal, which is decoded using special software and converted it into a command which can by used to trigger the appropriate infrared signal from remote control. The result: give the thumbs up signal and the TV changes channel.
The system uses a set of pre-defined hand movements, such as an outstretched palm with the thumb pointing upwards to turn the TV on.
A series of sucsessful tests have already been performed with the system on TVs and VCRs, which involved using it under different lighting conditions and making gestures from different distances.
Mitsubishi testing its own TV remote replacement design
Developers Dr Prasham Premaratne, from the School of Electrical, Computer and Telecommunications Engineering at the University of Wollongong, Australia, and Quang Nguyen, from the Research School of Information Science and Engineering at the Australian National University, claim it can even distinguish between intentional and unintentional gestures - handy if you use it while watching sports or playing on your Wii.
However, the Australian boffins aren't the first to come up with such a system. Back in 1994, Mitsubishi researchers William T Freeman and Craig D Weissman began working on a prototype that used a two-screen rig, combining a computer and a television. They admitted that the system could prove "somewhat tiring for extended viewing".
No details have been given by the designers for plans to release the system onto the market, but they did say are working on ways to miniaturise it and incorporate it into games consoles.

|Kalam buried in his native home town Rameswaram amid a billion sighs
JPNN/ Rameswaram| (TN) / Jul 30, 2015/ The mortal remains of former President A P J Abdul Kalam, who died on Monday, were taken from his ancestral house to the local mosque ahead of the funeral as thousands
of mourners young and old poured into the island town to pay their last respects Thursday . Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi and a host of other dignitaries, including and chief ministers of some states, will be taking part in the last rites to be held around 11 AM after 'Namaz-e-Janaza'. The body of 83-year-old Kalam, who passed away in Shillong on Monday, was taken from the house around 9.30 AM to the mosque by the personnel of three services with the casket covered with traditional green shawl. At the mosque, the Aalin or the chief priest would read out special prayer and speak about the former president, who grew up from this island. Later, it would be taken to the place of burial where prayers would be offered again.The body of the "Missile Man" was brought to his house on the narrow Pallivasal Street around 10 PM last night after lying in state and left in the privacy of his family till this morning. Thousands of mourners kept pouring through the night by various transport including buses, trains and boats to attend the last rites and many of them even slept on the roads last night. Shops, business establishments and hotels remained shut in the town and throughout Tamil Nadu as a mark of respect to the late leader fondly called the "People's President". Police said tight security arrangements have been made in and around the town and Navy, Coast Guard and marine police personnel deployed in the sea. Tamil Nadu Government has declared a public holiday on Thursday as a mark of respect to Kalam. Several people were seen holding the national tri-colour as they waited in the jam-packed streets around Kalam's house to have a last glimpse of their hero. Many were perched on the terraces of buildings. The burial will be at Peikarumbu here where about 1.5 acre had been allocated for the purpose. Slogans of "Bharat Mata ki jai" rent the air as the body was taken in flower-bedecked carriage to the burial site, about 3.5 km from the mosque, accompanied by the personnel of three services. Kalam's family members, including his eldest sister 99-year-old Mohammed Muthu Meera Lebbai Maraicker accompanied the body. Agency

The controversy around Nestle's Maggi noodles has caused panic throughout the nation and it doesn't look like it will die down any time soon.
After the initial test results by Uttar Pradesh Department of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) showed harmful levels of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lead in Maggi, various states across India and even Bangladesh conducted tests on Maggi to find out whether the food product is safe or not.
The controversy around Maggi has led to tests being conducted across the country.
The entire controversy began when the UP FDA last month asked Nestle India to withdraw a batch of Maggi noodles "which were manufactured in February 2014" after it found high levels of added MSG, a taste enhancer, in the noodles and lead beyond permissible limits.

Darvish chases history past pitch count
HOUSTON -- Yu Darvish missed one start in Spring Training because of a stiff neck and never threw more than 78 pitches in any outing. That's why the Rangers were hoping to get a maximum of 100 pitches out of him in his first start against the Astros on Tuesday night. A blister on his ring finger added to the concern.
The Rangers let Darvish throw 111 pitches only because he was chasing a perfect game. Once that quest ended, Darvish was removed from the game. The perfect game came to an end when Marwin Gonzalez singled with two outs in the ninth.
That's when manager Ron Washington pulled Darvish for Michael Kirkman. Washington also said he would have pulled Darvish if he had walked a batter instead of giving up a hit. Darvish was given pitch-count leeway for the perfect game but not a no-hitter.
"Once perfection was over, I was bringing in somebody else and hope they finished it for us," Washington said. "It was understood from the eighth inning on, a base hit and that was it. I kept the walk part to myself."
The Rangers said Darvish will stick to his routine and be ready to start on Sunday against the Angels. The blister is not expected to be a lingering problem.
Pitching coach Mike Maddux said Darvish was probably done after seven innings. Maddux said the most impressive thing about Darvish's performance was the ability to keep pitching after that point.
"He reached down when he was out of gas and had the ability to still make pitches," Maddux said. "Overall, the sharpness of everything he threw and the execution of his game plan were really good."
The Rangers were watching Darvish's pitch count all night. The one thing that allowed Darvish to stay in the game was he didn't have one particular inning where he threw a high number of pitches. His high for one inning was 18. If not for his setback in Spring Training, 111 pitches would not have been out of the ordinary for Darvish. He threw at least 110 pitches in 18 of 29 starts last season, with a high of 123.
"It's all about how you arrive at the number," Maddux said. "The innings weren't stressful. The situation was, but the innings weren't. He was in complete control, a pretty dominating performance.
"I thought it was very gritty. He was out of gas after seven, but he admitted the situation gets you to find that extra to pull you through it. The crowd was on his side. He said he was getting energy from the crowd."
Washington said he would not have let Darvish talk him out of pulling him from the game.
"No -- I don't understand Japanese," Washington said. "Once I come out of the dugout, that's it. Only two guys could talk me out of it ... [Kevin] Millwood and Cliff Lee. Everybody else has got to go."

AAUW's Cancer Education CampaignOctober 01, 2013
Today, we are aware of the many benefits of preventive screening for cancer. When detected in its early stages, many forms of cancer are treatable and patients can resume their lives. Modern medicine has given us remarkable advances for which we should all be thankful.
In the 1930s, AAUW women also realized the importance of early cancer detection. During a time when the topic of cancer was still considered unmentionable, AAUW Executive and Educational Secretary Kathryn McHale worked alongside Dr. Joseph Colt Bloodgood, a physician who was determined to educate women about the early detection of cancer. In 1913, Bloodgood founded the American Society for the Control of Cancer, which became the American Cancer Society in 1945.
In 1930, Bloodgood received $1,000 from John Sims, a carpenter from West Virginia whose wife had died of cervical cancer. With those funds, Bloodgood created the Amanda Sims Memorial Fund, a campaign to educate women about the early detection of cancer of the cervix.
At the time, cervical cancer did not receive much attention but was claiming an alarming number of lives. Bloodgood was smart and realized he needed women on his side, or else his message would not get far. So, he enlisted the help of women's organizations such as AAUW, the General Federation of Women's Clubs, and the Young Women's Christian Association. He also hired a female nurse, Florence Baker, to serve as the official voice for the campaign.
According to McHale, the decision to partner with Bloodgood was logical; it was "entirely in keeping with [AAUW's] whole notion of adult education." The doctor contributed to AAUW publications and wrote informational letters that were distributed to branches. In a June 1932 issue of the AAUW Journal, Bloodgood sang the praises of AAUW members: "University women, because of their educational opportunities, are in a better position than untrained women to understand the principles and details of preventive medicine." In another AAUW publication, The Month's Work, he also urged women who were unable to afford a personal physician to find a "proper clinic to go to for prenatal care and periodic pelvic examinations."
Dr. Bloodgood knew that early detection of cancer saved lives, and that it also made good economic sense. A true pragmatist, he said that if "what we know of preventive methods should really be applied, the people would actually be saved in taxes, fewer hospitals would be needed, [and] there would be a tremendous reduction in the care of people crippled by chronic disease."
I am amazed by how remarkably advanced, even by today's standards, AAUW's 1930s cancer-education campaign seems. Open, frank language was not the norm in the 1930s. Using the word "cancer" was a taboo, let alone acknowledging it as a real problem and suggesting a potential solution. Thankfully, there have been many medical advances since the 1930s, but I think we could still use more McHales and Bloodgoods working together to urge women, who too often take care of others before themselves, to visit their physicians and schedule those important annual examinations and screenings.

Select a topic or year
The study documents how a business model based on the past "grow-and-build" philosophy needs to be replaced by fresh business models that can facilitate both traditional and emerging technologies of energy generation, delivery, storage and use.
Transformations in three major areas are changing the traditional model and creating relentless pressure on energy providers: shifts in governmental policy, new technologies and changing consumer demands. With a growing emphasis on economic and job growth, climate change, and energy security, national and local governments are setting new policies to increase efficiency, conservation and renewable energy generation. Smart grids, distributed generation and storage technologies are adding complexity by causing electricity and information to move in an increasing number of directions.
Consumers are changing, too. IBM global utility consumer surveys show that utility customers want more control over their energy expenditures and environmental impact. In fact, a 2009 IBM survey entitled "Lighting the Way: Understanding the New Energy Consumer" [http://www.ibm.com/services/gbs/lightingtheway] revealed that over 90 percent of respondents from across the globe would like tools for managing their energy usage. These changes demonstrate that consumers are demanding more from their relationship with electric utility providers.
"It is time to revisit the business models that drove growth and success for the energy and utility industry the past fifty years. The value drivers will look vastly different in the next decade," said Michael Valocchi, Global Energy & Utilities Leader for IBM Global Business Services. "In this new environment, utility companies that are willing to re-evaluate their fundamental business models will be better positioned to capitalize on the emerging products, technologies and services available to their consumers."
New business models
The electric utility industry's traditional model is changing dramatically. One-way flow of energy and information is being replaced by a distributed and multi-directional flow, and the customer is becoming a more integral part. Although they are becoming more demanding, they also have much more to offer in return to utilities and other participants than simply paying for the energy they have consumed. Developments such as customer-owned renewable generation and energy storage mean that customers will be able to provide power or storage to the overall system, rather than playing a role that is limited to passively paying for energy they consume.
Another way consumers are playing a more integral role is in their access to information. Information on energy consumption patterns, consumer demographic information and even access to personal networks can all provide new revenue sources for companies – traditional energy providers, established companies from outside the energy industry, and aggressive start-ups alike - that are able to make use of this information effectively. Consumers, too, will be in a position to benefit financially by participating in home energy management programs or by generating their own power and selling it back to the utility.
Electricity providers will become like shopping malls
A smart grid with electricity and information flowing in multiple directions will provide support for interactions among various participants in the emerging electric ecosystem, facilitating the development of electric utility industry 'multisided' platforms. These platforms will link power generators, electric transmission and distribution providers, electric service providers, device manufacturers, application developers and end users (including residential, industrial, and commercial customers). Multisided businesses provide benefits to all of the interacting groups and a way for the platform provider to earn revenue from the transactions.
A shopping mall is an example of a multisided platform: manufacturers, retailers and shoppers all benefit from having a single location where they can meet and transact business. A wider variety of stores and services brings more shoppers; more shoppers bring higher sales volumes for manufacturers and lower costs for retailers (and, in theory, also lower prices for shoppers). Thus, some element of network economy is bundled into the shopping mall value proposition. The platform owner (the mall operator) extracts some of this value in the form of rent to store owners and, in some cases, service fees to shoppers.
Companies that envision being platform owners will need to have key competencies in marketing, sales and customer relationship management. That fact, combined with the ready-made set of platform participants already present in the form of existing electricity customers, puts retail electric providers (or integrated utilities' retail operations) in a good position to take on platform ownership.

Hi-Res (6.4M)
Contact: Diane Ainsworth, JPL Media Relations (818) 354-0850
Mimi Drummond, Monterey Bay Aquarium Media Relations (831) 648-4918
July 26, 1999
A new aluminum deep sea probe, the prototype of one designed to withstand crushing pressures and extreme temperatures, is set to be lowered to depths of 9 meters (30 feet) in Monterey Bay Aquarium's giant kelp forest July 28 as part of NASA's hunt for clues to life's origins.
Scientists from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, will sink the new package of underwater cameras, temperature sensors, optics and a spectrometer into the emerald waters of a controlled aquatic environment to test the capabilities of more advanced instruments to explore the interior of volcanic vents. These cracks in the sea floor, occurring at depths of between 500 meters and 4,000 meters (1,650 feet and 13,200 feet), are known to nurture a pageantry of macabre bottom-dwellers such as salps, siphonophores, crustaceans and gelatinous animals only recently discovered at such depths.
"These instruments will be able to record water temperatures in the throat of a vent, capture video and low- and- high- resolution still images of the walls of the vent, and record spectral or fluorescent signatures of minerals and bioluminescent life dwelling in these crevices," said Dr. Arthur Lane, manager of the Underwater Volcanic Vent Mission probe at JPL. "The experiment will demonstrate a more sophisticated set of instruments that will be used in late August and September to probe the Pitcairn, McDonald and Teahitia seamounts near Tahiti, where hydrothermal vents range from 900 meters to 3,600 meters (2,970 feet to 11,880 feet) in depth."
The mission will gather preliminary data and serve as a stepping stone in the development of technology and instrument housing required in the search for evidence of life in extreme, high-pressure liquid environments. This information will aid in NASA's proposed efforts to develop technologies capable of exploring more extreme liquid and ice environments, such as Lake Vostok in Antarctica, and eventually, to send instrumented probes to the Martian polar caps and frozen oceans on Jupiter's moon, Europa, and Saturn's moon, Titan.
The discovery of gelatinous material in underwater volcanic vents has opened a new chapter in the search for life and organisms that can survive in extreme environments. Hydrothermal vents and the biological communities thriving in these remote pockets of the sea floor are found primarily at tectonic plate junctions at temperatures ranging from nearly 80 to almost 400 degrees Celsius (170 to 750 degrees Fahrenheit) and at pressures as high as 6,000 pounds per square inch. Typical water temperatures inside the vents range from 200 to more than 350 degrees C (392 to 662 degrees F) and drop quickly to ambient temperatures of about 4 degrees C (39 degrees F) outside of the vents.
To date, organisms living near the vents are known to inhabit only the waters outside of the vents. Layers of gelatinous material attached to the vents are presumed to be organic and the product of living organisms. Researchers have reported that on at least one occasion the gel appeared to emanate directly from a vent throat.
"If there are indeed life forms present inside these vents, their presence may challenge accepted notions of the temperature ranges at which life can function," Lane said.
Last year, Lane and colleague Lloyd French of JPL, in collaboration with Dr. Gary McMurtry of the University of Hawaii, developed and deployed an instrumented probe into the Forbidden Vent Fields near the summit of the Loihi seamount, an underwater Hawaiian volcano. That probe was tested last year in Monterey aquarium's kelp tank before its deployment in Hawaii.
"The probe was capable only of limited visual imaging and temperature determination at depths of approximately 1,500 meters (4,950 feet)," French said. "Since that time, we've been able to increase the depths at which these instruments can operate to more than 4,000 meters (13,200 feet). The free-standing package of instruments will be able to acquire temperature data, video imaging and high-resolution digital stills. This year we're also testing a new light source and spectrographic instrument to see if we can gather more information about the bacterial growth -- what looked like thin veils of jellyfish-like material -- we observed last year around the Loihi vent."
During the mission this August and September, scientists will use the French research vessel L'Atalante to test their instrument probe in several deep ocean volcanic vents in the South Pacific. Using a deep submersible called Nautile, equipped with a robotic arm, they will place the 142-centimeter (56-inch) titanium tube housing the instruments inside several vents in the area to investigate the presence and nature of organic matter.
Once the technology has been developed and demonstrated to work at depths of 4,000 meters (13,200 feet), the probe's external shell will be modified for use in sub-glacial lakes like Lake Vostok, an ancient freshwater lake that appears to extend about that deep beneath Antarctic's surface. The design may also become a prototype for a probe that could penetrate Mars' icy polar caps and search for microbial life, or explore a liquid ocean thought to lie 7 kilometers to 8 kilometers (about 4 miles to 5 miles) below the icy surface of Europa.
The Tahiti underwater volcanic vent mission is a collaboration of the international POLYNAUT campaign in the South Pacific, conducted by the French Institute of Research and Exploitation of the Sea, with involvement from the University of Hawaii and NASA/JPL. JPL's work on the project is conducted for NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington, DC. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA.

The 1906 earthquake in San Francisco lasted only 42 seconds but it led to out-of-control fires that raged for days.
Buildings collapsed and burnt, sinkholes opened up, railroad tracks and cable cars were damaged. Some 25,000 buildings perished in the fires, 20,000 people were displaced, and 90% of San Francisco was destroyed.
Many of the fires were caused by firefighters who used dynamite to demolish buildings to create firebreaks, but only made matters worse. The buildings loaded with dynamite caught fire themselves and exacerbated the inferno.
By 1906, photography was a common enough hobby and a number of survivors managed to capture images of the earthquake aftermath.
Photographer Shawn Clover looked through the photos taken at the time to find buildings or areas that can still be found in San Francisco today. He made mashups of the old images blending in the present scenery, creating a ghost-like effect of reflecting back over 100 years to one of the key events that changed the city forever.
Clover has kindly given us permission to feature his project '1906 + Today: The Earthquake Blend.'

Tumacácori National Historical Park is working toward the reconstruction of a portion of the historic mission orchard. The park continues to strive to do the research necessary to identify, obtain, and propagate historic fruit tree stock that will be planted at the park. This is a monumental task requiring both funding and labor. The following article gives a synopsis of much of what is involved in making the reconstructed mission orchard as historically accurate as possible.
The Kino Heritage Fruit Trees Project
In 2004 Tumacácori National Historical Park acquired significant adjacent property, including the original 5-acre mission orchard and a significant portion of the original agricultural area. The challenge now is to replant the Spanish Mission Era orchard and garden. Why not use fruit tree stocks (cultivars) that can be traced to those introduced in the late 17th and early 18th centuries by Jesuit missionaries such as Father Kino, and/or those introduced in the late 18th and early 19th centuries by Franciscans?
Thus began, in late 2003, the Kino Heritage Fruit Trees Project, the ambitious brainchild of a talented team of researchers at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, the University of Arizona, the National Park Service, and other Tucson area organizations.
The first task of the project was to identify fruit trees from the Spanish Mission Era. This was accomplished by reviewing Father Kino's accounts, Forty-niner documents and journals, and the work of contemporary local ethnobotanists and horticulturalists to trace the legacy of these fruit trees. By some accounts, trees included peach, quince, pear, apple, pecan, walnut, fig, and pomegranate. Together, they made up a portion of the mission community's agricultural livelihood that also depended upon grape vineyards, grain fields, vegetable and pharmacy gardens, as well as livestock.
Many of the fruit trees and other plants identified are native to the Old World, many originating from the Mediterranean region, as well as a significant number from central and eastern Asia (these are "Old World-exotics"). Some are native to North America or southern Mexico, but not endemic to the Sonoran Desert ecoregion (these are "New World-exotics"). Still others are native to the Sonoran Desert or Apache Highlands ecoregions that were brought under cultivation by the Jesuits and Franciscans upon their arrival in this region.
The goal of this research is to identify stocks, not individual trees. A few of the trees (fig, pomegranate, quince) are long-lived (80-100 years), although most live no longer than 20-40 years. Therefore, old trees that can be traced back to stocks introduced or assimilated 150-300 years ago are sought. Thus far stocks have been identified in mission orchard communities in Sonora (Mexico), on the campus of the University of Arizona, at Quitobaquito Springs in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, at historic houses, and in backyards of private residences. Cuttings and seeds are being propagated at the Native Seeds/SEARCH farm in Patagonia, Desert Survivors nursery in Tucson, Spadefoot nursery in Cochise County, and the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.
The goal of the Kino Heritage Fruit Trees Project is to research, locate, propagate, and re-establish historically appropriate fruit tree cultivars to the original orchard and garden at Tumacácori National Historical Park and other historic sites. These reintroductions will directly contribute to the interpretive, educational, and preservation objectives of these historic sites.

The reason for the lack of action, would seem to be the fact that none of the three are ISAF certified officials and the ISAF, under its regulations, did not have the authority to act against the three 'mutineers'. Had they been certified ISAF Officials, then their treatment could have been very different.
After waiting for several hours for the breeze to build and settle, and for the large overnight northerly swell to die down, Harold Bennett made a decision at about 1600hrs that racing would start at 1625hrs, just five minutes before the deadline prescribed for racing on Friday 12 February, 2010.
That decision was not welcomed by three members of the Race Committee appointed by the Societe Nautique de Geneve (not ISAF), who believed that the decision to start a race lay with the Race Committee and not the Principal Race Officer.
(Although the Committee comprised four members by prior arrangement that had five votes, with Bennett holding two votes, to avoid any 2-2 vote decisions, indicating that maybe the SNG officials were acting under the impression that they did have the option to vote on key decisions.)
After Bennett had made his decision that the race would take place, the three SNG officials went below decks and did not perform their duties to start the race. Such actions are very unusual in the sport, and are unprecedented at this level, where normally all officials would be certified by the ISAF and appointed by that body.
Bennett was forced to second others on the boat to assist and the race got underway at the designated time of 1625hrs.
USA-17 went on to win the race and won the America's Cup from Societe Nautique de Geneve, ending the Swiss club's seven tenure as Defender of the America's Cup.
The initial report from the Principal Race Officer to the ISAF said in reference to the incident: 'It has been widely reported that an incident took place on the Committee Boat during the 2nd Race of the 33rd America's Cup.
'An incident did take place where three members of the Race Committee voted 3 to 2 (as I had 2 votes) not to start in 7 knots with a wave state of approx 0.8m — 1 m swell. I weighed up all the facts and decided to continue with the start and the race.
'The other IRO on the Committee Boat Pascal Monet (SNG) but not a member of the Race Committee agreed with my decision.
'The race was sailed in 7 - 10 knots of wind with a slight swell and took a little over two hours to complete the 39 mile triangular course.
'The reasons for the three members disagreeing with my decision are purely speculation as I was not part of any other conversation taking place. I have no interest in pursuing this matter any further,' Bennett concluded.
In a separate report to the ISAF, International Jury Chairman, David Tillett (AUS) commented on the nuances of organisation of the America's Cup Match, and how these are not aligned with the provisions of the ISAF's Racing Rules of Sailing, which govern the conduct of the America's Cup races.
'Significant issues arise in the context of the America's Cup,' said Tillett, 'because the Trustee[under the America's Cup Deed of Gift] (SNG) being the Club that holds the Cup is also a competitor.
'In this case, SNG appoints the Organising Authority and the Race Committee. ISAF appointed the Principal Race Officer, Harold Bennett (NZ), and he was contracted with ISAF. He was also a member of the Race Committee. The Race Committee also included three other members, all from SNG who were also present on the Committee Boat and saw their role as 'active'.
'At an earlier hearing in New York [under the jurisdiction of the New York Supreme Court] a question was posed by the New York Supreme Court to an expert panel of myself, Bryan Willis and Graham McKenzie, 'Is it safe to race in Valencia in February?' The panel was advised in the hearing conducted in New York by SNG's representative that Harold Bennett would be the Principal Race Officer and would make that call and that he was experienced and was capable of making that call.
'The panel adopted that approach, found it safe to race in Valencia in February on that basis, as did the Court,' said Tillett.
Turning to the event itself, Tillett continued 'a situation arose at the start of the last race where the Principal Race Officer determined that the race was safe and suitable to sail (wind strength approximately eight knots, wave height approximately one metre) but the other three members of the Race Committee expressed the view that they did not consider it was safe to do so and endeavoured to prevent the race from proceeding.
'Issues arise in relation to the authority of the Principal Race Officer in light of RRS 90.1 which provides, The Race Committee shall conduct races as directed by the organising authority as required by the rules'.
'The normal practice (which becomes particularly relevant where ISAF appoint the Principal Race Officer) is that the Principal Race Officer would be making the decision on whether or not it was safe to race — not the Race Committee (which of course was not independent in this case), In this case the Principal Race Officer proceeded and conducted the race notwithstanding the Race Committee not supporting that decision. There were no subsequent requests for redress from either competitor,' Tillett concluded.
Then in a second report to the International Sailing Federation, David Tillett who is a respected lawyer, Chairman of the ISAF Racing Rules Committee, and Jury Chairman for the 2008 Olympic Games, plus Jury Chairman for the 2007 America's Cup expanded on his earlier report, and commented on how the mixed authorities occurred. Tillett also commented on several other incidents that occurred during the regatta.
Tillett: The Race Committee was made up of Harold Bennett (IRO), Fred Meyer, Marcel Beauvard, Nicolas Grange, the latter three being SNG appointments.
It was never really clarified as to who actually was the Chairman of the Race Committee with Harold Bennett believing he was and Fred Meyer asserting that he was, but it was accepted that Harold Bennett would have two votes. The issue was therefore not pursued since that was agreed!
I believe Harold Bennett exercised his responsibilities professionally during the event and gained significant credibility for his decisions and exercised his role independently.
The other Members of the Race Committee from SNG were also present on the Race Committee boat. I had discussions with Harold Bennett prior to the event concerning a BMW Oracle and Alinghi representative being permitted on the Race Committee boat as observers and encouraged this sensible suggestion from Harold Bennett. SNG were aware of this several days before the event.
Shortly prior to the Race Committee going on the water for Race 1, Tom Ehman attended at the Race Committee boat as the BMW Oracle representative and SNG representatives indicated that it was unacceptable to have him on the Race Committee boat. Following several telephone discussions, and with the Jury Chairman and Harold Bennett maintaining that Tom Ehman was quite acceptable being BMW Oracle's nominee, Tom Ehman took his place on the boat along with Lucien Masmejan representing Alinghi. Such a situation should never have occurred.
The 'Mutiny'
The 'mutiny' in Race 2 has received extensive commentary in the press and has been reported to you in Harold Bennett's report. The issue of wind limits and wave limits was a topic the subject of a hearing before the Jury (refer request 01-4 Jury Decision where the Jury found that for SNG to impose wave limits and wind limits was in breach of the Deed of Gift and request 01-3 which dealt with the failure to mutually agree on a starting time for races which is also linked into anticipated weather conditions at the time).
As Harold will outline the circumstances being on the boat at the time, I will not repeat those other than to note the following:
1. SNG in its submissions to a question posed by the Court in New York to the Panel, asked whether or not it was 'safe' to conduct racing in Valencia in February. SNG submitted to the Panel that Harold Bennett an experienced IRO appointed by ISAF was well equipped to decide such issues and that it was safe. The Panel and the Court adopted that approach. GGYC had always maintained it was 'safe' to race in Valencia at that time with appropriate race management and application of the Racing Rules of Sailing.
2. RRS 90.1 provides 'the Race Committee shall conduct races as directed by the Organising Authority and as required by the Rules'.
The normal practice is, of course, for the Principal Race Officer to make these decisions on the water. In this case Harold followed the normal practice and that is the very reason he was appointed (to make such decisions) not to mention being independent. It is interesting to note that Harold reported that no real discussion took place regarding the three other members opposing conducting the race, and he is not aware as to why they disagreed with his call. SNG (although they didn't say it at the time!!) effectively rely upon RRS 90.1, and ignore their representations to the Panel.
I have referred to the Racing Rules Committee Working Party this issue and whether or not the Rules need to be changed to make this clearer. The issue is not simple as it could be argued the Race Committee and not one individual should make such decisions, unless the Race Committee has delegated that authority. It is also apparent that the Race Committee did not try to stop him conducting the race. I believe if this matter had come to the Jury there is little doubt Harold's decision would have been supported. I also believe Harold's strong approach added credibility and independently reinforced the standing of ISAF officials.
The America's Cup provides, due the benefit of persons working full-time as the Rules advisers to syndicates and the professional nature of the event, the opportunity for various issues to arise that perhaps would not have otherwise have been considered.
It is however important that it is recognised that the Racing Rules of Sailing are written for the whole of sport and not for simply the professional end of the sport.
In this particular case I support the position taken by Harold Bennett in running Race 2 as I believe that conditions were clearly appropriate. I have also been told that Fred Meyer indicated to Harold Bennett half way up the first beat of Race 2 that he was correct in proceeding to run the race. (SW: Alinghi was ahead at this point in the race.) It should be noted that Alinghi flew a red protest flag close to the weather mark in Race 2. Alinghi did not proceed with a protest nor request for redress and I understand the reason for the red flag related to other issues which were not pursued.(SW: Spectator boats being in the start box and impeding Alinghi 5 which had been penalised for being inside the start box as she tried to get to her designated end of the start line.) I also contacted Alinghi's rules adviser approximately 10 minutes after the race was completed to confirm that no protest or request for redress was being lodged to ensure that the 'all clear' could be given. I comment on this since SNG in a recent letter to its Members, which has received substantial press coverage, have questioned whether there was truly a race or not on that day.
Race Officials Committee Decision
In its six page dissertation on the facts and other considerations, the Race Officials Committee, the ISAF body charged with considering reports lodged by its officials after any international event, noted that 'ISAF Regulation 34 permits the ROC to investigate and take action when an ISAF Race Official's conduct or competence is called into question. An ISAF Race Official is defined as 'a race official appointed by ISAF pursuant to Regulations 33 and 18.12.' Harold Bennett and Paco Quionero were the only ISAF Race Officials aboard the signal boat during Race 2.
'The Racing Rules of Sailing, the relevant portions of the International Jury Decision in AC33/01 relating to Request 01-4 and the relevant portion of David Tillett's report to the ISAF Executive Committee make it clear that the decision to start, postpone or abandon a race is to be taken by the race committee. This is at odds with recent developments in race management practices and ISAF's expectation when it appoints a PRO: that the ISAF-appointed PRO will be responsible for making all decisions relating to the conduct of racing, including the decision to start, postpone or abandon a race.
'The race committee decided. on a vote of 3 to 2. that race 2 should not be started on 14 February 2010, Despite the vote of the race committee, the PRO proceeded to start race 2. In light of ISAF's practices and expectations concerning the role of ISAF-appointed PROs and the assurances made by SNG's representatives in New York to the panel of experts. Harold Bennett had good reason to conclude that he had the authority to start Race 2', the Race Officials Committee Decision noted.
'While Harold Bennett's actions to start Race 2 may have been inconsistent with a strict reading of the Racing Rules of Sailing and the voting and decision-making system to which he had agreed with the Organising Authority, his decision to start Race 2 was sound. and his conduct was consistent with his obligation to conduct racing in a fair manner. The ROC applaud his conduct and independent actions, and find no reason to take action under Regulation 34.
'Paco Quinonero performed his duties as expected, and is commended for his actions. There is no reason to take action under Regulation 34.
'The remaining members of the SNG-appointed race committee are not ISAF Race Officials, and are not subject to action under Regulation 34. Their conduct would not, in any event, merit action in light of (i) Harold Bennett's agreement with respect to the race committee voting and decision-making process. (ii) Harold Bennett's conclusion that any discussion concerning their conduct would be 'purely speculation and (iii) the provisions in the Racing Rules of Sailing that require the race committee to conduct the races (including the decision to start. postpone or abandon a race).'
Full credit should be given to Pascal Monet (SUI) a recently lapsed ISAF International Race Officer (did not renew in 2009). Monet was probably in the most difficult position of the three who did continue with the PRO-ordered start. As he was no longer subject to ISAF sanction, it would have been easy for the Swiss national to side with his compatriots in stalling the start for beyond the 1630hrs deadline, but did not do so. While he may face some opprobrium back in his home country as a result, in international sailing circles at least, Monet as with the other two, can walk with his head high knowing that he acted correctly and honorably in a very difficult situation.
The Race Officials Committee conclude their report by recommending that the ISAF's Racing Rules of Sailing be considered by a working party so that it is clear that the PRO, rather than a Race Committee is responsible for making all decisions relating to the conduct of racing. including the decision to start, postpone or abandon a race.

'Storage Wars' Star Dan Dotson Suffers Double Brain Aneurysm
Dan Dotson of Storage Wars fame has suffered a double brain aneurysm, and doctors say he only has a slight chance of survival, reports TMZ.
The A&E auctioneer was rushed to a hospital in Palm Springs on Monday, June 16, after suffering one aneurysm behind his eye and another in his neck.
"Dan woke Monday morning around 1:00 AM asking weird questions in his sleep — and when he got up again around 7:30 AM things took a turn for the worse," Dan's wife told the site. She recalls that Dan had double vision and did not feel well so he went back to sleep, but when he woke up to take a shower, he turned blue and collapsed so she immediately called 911 and administered CPR on her husband.
Dan was sent into surgery on Tuesday, June 17, and the procedure was a success. Still, Dan was only given a 4% to 20% chance of survival. So sad.

Details of Boz Scaggs and the Ticket Luck value
William Royce Scaggs a.k.a Boz Scaggs - is an American singer, lyricist and guitarist was born on 8 June 1944, Canton, Ohio.
Scaggs grew up in Texas immersed in rhythm and blues, soul music, early rock 'n' roll and raw Delta and Chicago blues-the music he heard coming over the radio airwaves across Texas and from as far away as Nashville. After learning guitar at 12, he met Steve Miller at St. Mark's School of Texas in Dallas and soon became the singer of his band, The Marksmen. They later attended the University of Wisconsin together, playing in blues bands like The Ardells and The Fabulous Knight Trains.
Leaving school, Scaggs momentarily left Texas to join the escalating rhythm and blues scene in London. After singing for The Wigs and Mother Earth, he recorded his solo debut album - Boz in 1965, which did not tend to get commercial success. He voyaged to Sweden and spent a brief time with the band The Other Side with fellow American Jack Downing and Brit Mac MacLeod.
Moving back, Scaggs headed for the flourishing psychedelic music center of San Francisco in 1967. Collaborating with Steve Miller again, he appeared on the Steve Miller Band's first two albums Children of the Future and Sailor, which won over critical reviews. After being spotted by Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner, Scaggs secured a solo contract with Atlantic Records in 1968.
In 1971 Scaggs moved to Columbia Records, where he made a string of records (Moments, Boz Scaggs & Band, My Time) that increasingly explored his love for rhythm and blues music. 1974's Slow Dancer was his most explicit bow to soul music, and it was followed two years later by the commercial and artistic breakthrough Silk Degrees. Scaggs made a few more albums (including the hit Middle Man in 1980) before taking a hiatus from the road and the pressures of stardom.
Despite acclamations, his first Atlantic album, featuring the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and slide guitarist Duane Allman, was met with tepid sales, as were follow-up albums on Columbia Records. In 1976, he teamed up with session musicians who later formed Toto and recorded his smash album Silk Degrees. The album charted #2 on the U.S. charts and #1 across the world, generating three hit singles: Lowdown, Lido Shuffle, and What Can I Say, as well as the MOR standard We're All Alone, later a hit for Rita Coolidge and covered by Frankie Valli. The 1977 album Down Two Then Left, lacked the consistency of Silk Degrees.
The 1980 album Middle Man generated top 20 hits, Breakdown Dead Ahead and Jojo, and he enjoyed 2 more hits over 1980 and 1981. But Scaggs' prolonged recess from the music industry declined his career. Heart of Mine in 1988, from Other Roads, was Scaggs' final top 40 hit but was a major AC success.
Scaggs has continued to record and tour periodically throughout the 80s and 90s. Though not much associated with music industry anymore, he now owns the Slim's - San Francisco nightclub.
Scaggs recorded Other Roads in the mid-1980s, in the early 1990s, he signed with Virgin and made four albums, including the Grammy-nominated blues collection Come On Home and the critically acclaimed 2001 release Dig. He acquired good acclaims with Dig although the CD, which was released on September 11, 2001, was lost in the post-9/11 scuffle. In May 2003, Scaggs released But Beautiful, a collection of jazz standards, gaining #1 on the jazz charts.
Fade Into Light involves Boz Scaggs innovatory style, with groundbreaking new material and revisiting old classics with refinement, grace and panache. But Beautiful - Standards Vol. 1 collection, the album is finally being released in the United States by Virgin Records, with stereo and featuring additional recording plus extra DVD features.
The selection includes unplugged versions of Lowdown, We're All Alone and Harbor Lights, three classics from the multi-platinum Silk Degrees album from 1976; a spare and haunting rendition of Simone, from 1980's Middle Man; Lost It, Time, Sierra and I'll Be the One, from 1988's acclaimed Other Roads; the new originals Some Things Happen, Fade Into Light and Just Go (which also appeared on the 1999 collection My Time: A Boz Scaggs Anthology); and a cover of Love TKO, the Teddy Pendergrass hit that Boz says he's wanted to record ever since he first heard it. Newly recorded for this release, Love TKO features Ray Parker, Jr. on electric guitar and backing vocals. In addition, Lowdown includes a new saxophone part added in 2005 by Tom Scott.
The CD side of Fade Into Light contains the audio album, while the DVD side of the disc offers the entire album in Enhanced Stereo. The DVD also includes live performances of Lowdown, Harbor Lights and We're All Alone, in 5.1 Surround Sound and High Definition Video. .
On his own Gray Cat label, Scaggs has released Greatest Hits Live, a two-disc live collection that spans his entire career. He also made But Beautiful, in which he tackled the Great American Songbook accompanied by a jazz quartet. Critics thought that Scaggs faced the challenges. Jazz Times stated impeccably good taste and vocal otherworldliness that's at once starting and arresting, while Rolling Stone remarked, Boz Scaggs is hardly the first rock star to turn toward the classic American songbook, but few have ever done it with the soulful ease he does on But Beautiful. Boz himself was principally contented about the album's response in jazz circles, both in the US and Europe.

Talk about a quick one-two-three for the Dallas Stars.
Cody Eakin, Stephane Robidas and Ryan Garbutt produced a three-goal flurry in a 53 second span of the third period as the Stars beat the Pacific Division-leading Anaheim Ducks 6-3 on Tuesday night for their first home win in more than month.
"We were just still talking on the bench about: 'OK, it's a tie game. Let's get this thing [under control], stay the course, do that,' and next it's 3-2," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. "It just went boom, boom. They got the goal and the crowd got into it, and then the rest is history."
After giving up a goal to Nick Bonino in the final seconds of the second period that put the Ducks ahead 2-1, Dallas wiped out that deficit with the fastest three-goal stretch in the NHL since January last year.
"You're thinking that we fought hard to tie it up, and want to go into the third period and try to play a 20 minute period of the win, and now we're going to chase the game again as soon as we come out, but we were able to turn it, I can tell you a nice story now. Otherwise, we might have blamed the game on that late goal," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said.
Eakin's sixth goal of the season tied it 2-2 with 14 minutes, 35 seconds left. Only 25 seconds later, Robidas was between the circles when he scored his fourth of the season.
Garbutt then gathered a loose puck and scored with a backhanded swipe with 13:42 left to make it 4-2. He did not realize how quickly the trio of goals had come.
"But it was pretty cool," said Garbutt, who also had two assists.
Fans in the building were suddenly in a frenzy as Boudreau finally called a time-out.
"We might have had to have a little bottle of NoDoz after the first period, but we woke them up in the third," Ruff said.
Roussel was in the crease when he netted his second goal with just under eight minutes left. Jonas Hiller quickly argued with the referee to no avail, trying to get an interference call.
Dan Ellis stopped 28 shots, winning for only the second time in seven games.
Dallas had been 0-2-2 at home since a 5-1 victory over Calgary on Oct. 24.
Emerson Etem, Nick Bonino and Dustin Penner scored for the Ducks, who are 10-4-3 in their past 17 games. Penner's tally was a power-play goal with 6:30 left.
"It does happen quickly," Ducks center Andrew Cogliano said. "When momentum turns and it starts going the other way, it's really hard to stop it."
The Stars played the first of three straight home games. The next is tomorrow against the Central Division-leading Chicago Blackhawks, who have an NHL-best 38 points — one more than Anaheim and St Louis.
It was the second of three meetings this season for the former Pacific Division rivals, who used to play six times a season. It was the only trip to Dallas for the Ducks, who won 6-3 at home on Oct. 20 and are due to host the Stars again on Feb. 1.
Hiller, who faced 32 shots, gave up three goals on 12 shots against the Stars in the previous matchup before he was pulled from the game.
Bonino scored his seventh of the season with 36 seconds left in the second period.
He took a pass from Cogliano and the puck went off his skate, before he used his stick to score from the right side of the net for a 2-1 lead.
Etem scored from in front 6:06 into the game to give the Ducks a 1-0 lead.
Roussel tied it when the puck caromed in off his skate with 6:47 left in the second period. Officials reviewed the goal before ruling that it was not kicked into the net to the left of Hiller after a pass from Vernon Fiddler.

The guys all about the Rods that are quite Hot have an absolutely enthralling report in their April magazine that AMC is back and will be looking to:
"create a full-scale racing program to encompass NASCAR, Drag racing, IMSA, and reportedly, a highly modified Javelin for Pikes Peak this July... and possibly by 2010, at the Baja 1000, to celebrate the '67 baja run of Spence Murray and Ralph Poole, in a virtually stock Rambler."
So how the hell did this happen?
Supposedly, as Hot Rod tells the story,
"...ten years ago, a multimillionaire vintage AMC enthusiast tried to acquire one of the six remaining AMX/3 mid-engine prototype sports cars for his personal collection. He was told none were for sale at any price, so our mystery mogul decided to do the next best thing — he built his own. In the course of designing...the plan changed from a copy of an AMX/3 to a totally new, updated modern AMX/4."
But wait — that's only one car — oh wait, there's more:
"Here's where things get interesting. In sensing a potential market for this new sports/GT with other enthusiasts, the idea was hatched to build these cars in series. Then the discussion turned to...wouldn't it be cool to bring back the whole company instead of one AMC model?"
Wow, wouldn't all of this be amazing? Especially if it were true. Because in reality it's all an April Fool's Day joke — check out the tiny print above. Haha, screw you Hot Rod readers!

Canizares coughs up his French Open lead to Kaymer on final three holes
By PA Sport
Published on
Saturday, July 3, 2010
Spaniard Alejandro Canizares went into the water twice on the last three holes Saturday to toss away a three-stroke lead at the Alstom French Open. One of the most dramatic finishing stretches in European golf -- which could be the venue for the 2018 Ryder Cup -- claimed yet another victim and left defending champion Martin Kaymer in front with a round to go. First Canizares, whose father Jose-Maria Canizares was a Ryder Cup hero at the Belfry in 1989, pushed his tee shot to Le Golf National's short 16th into the lake. Then, one ahead after a double bogey there, he failed to make the carry with his approach to the 470-yard 18th. Dropping two more strokes there gave Canizares a 2-over-par 73, and on 8 under he now shares second place with England's Steve Webster, one behind Kaymer. The German, who last year won the French and Scottish Opens back-to-back, needed only a level-par 71 to take over at the top, while Webster shot 70 on a day when the morning's play was washed out. Kaymer, delighted with his position, said of Canizares finishing as he did: "It was obviously a little bit tough to see. "You want to play well to get into the lead and I didn't play well, to be honest,â he added. "I hit a lot of bad iron shots, but I kept it together." On the possibility of repeating his summer double last year, he added: "Next week is one of my favorite courses, so why not? This is one of the biggest tournaments we have on the European Tour. To win it once is a big once, but to win it twice would be awesome." Webster and Canizares have something in addition to the title to fight for. There is one British Open spot up for grabs. For Webster it would mean a return to St. Andrews, where he beat Tiger Woods to be leading amateur in 1995, and for Canizares it would be a first major -- after 10 failed attempts to qualify for the British Open and U.S. Open. Six players are tied for fourth on seven under and right back in it thanks to Canizares falling back. They include Luke Donald, who has finished second, first and third in his last three starts on this side of the Atlantic. "I do enjoy coming over, but it would be a pretty big upheaval to play more in Europe,â said Donald after a 67. "We have a baby, our home is in America and to spend more time here would be tough. I want to play against the best and most of the time the PGA Tour has stronger fields. I want to challenge myself as much as I can." Donald out-scored playing partner Rory McIlroy by two and the 21-year-old Northern Irishman, now 5 under and tied for 12th, reckons he might need something like his closing 61 at Quail Hollow in May if he is to triumph again. "I feel like I have a low one in my, but I'm struggling on the greens this week," he said. He still fared better than Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter, however. The two injury doubts before the start -- both with leg problems -- played together and had to settle for 71s that kept them at 3 under.

A convicted killer and his wife are suing the federal government after the Correctional Service of Canada lost intimate photos he took of his spouse during a private family visit last year.
Kevin William Machell, 55, and his second wife Paula filed the lawsuit June 2 in Chilliwack Supreme Court, seeking damages from the Attorney General of Canada.
Machell is serving a life sentence after he pleaded guilty to killing his first wife and her mother in front of his young children in a Summerland motel in 1997.
In May 2013, Machell purchased a disposable camera at the Mission Institution canteen so he could take pictures during a three-day visit with his new wife, the suit says.
The normal procedure was for Machell to give the camera to prison staff at the end of the visit so the pictures could be developed and later picked up by his wife.
"The contents of the disposable camera included . . . intimate photos taken by the second plaintiff of the first plaintiff wearing only lingerie," the suit says.
When the CSC failed to contact Paula Machell after three weeks, she asked her husband to investigate. He was told the photographs hadn't developed properly.
But another prisoner later told Machell that the photos were in possession of a third prisoner, who had been released to a halfway house.
The suit says a prison official Machell confronted with the new information "admitted that, in fact, the photos had been developed and they went missing from CSC's care."
Inaccurate rumours circulated among the inmates that the photos were extremely graphic, the suit claims.
"The second plaintiff was subject to many snide comments from correctional officers and other inmates in regards to the alleged graphic nature of these pictures and the moral turpitude of his wife," it says.
Machell claims the CSC recovered the photos and offered to return them as long as he signed a release.
He refused and filed the lawsuit instead.
Both Machell and his wife claim the incident "caused immeasurable stress, humiliation and anxiety, given that CSC's initial response was to fabricate a false story to cover up their negligence."
The suit says the CSC was negligent and breached the constitutional rights of both Machell and his wife.
The couple is seeking general, special and aggravated damages, as well as legal costs. The CSC has not yet filed its response.
Machell pleaded guilty in 2000 to shooting his estranged wife, Tammy Grono, 27, and her mother Cecilia Grono, 64, in front of his four-year-old son and two-year-old daughter.
Before he was sentenced to life without parole for 20 years, Machell tried to withdraw his plea. He later lost his appeal.

Smyly's long save has nothing on Benoit
DETROIT -- Drew Smyly's four-inning save Friday was the longest by a Tiger since 2004. It is not, however, the longest by a pitcher currently on the Detroit staff.
"Not even close," said Joaquin Benoit, author of a seven-inning save -- and nearly a no-hitter -- in 2002.
Nobody, in fact, has a longer save than Benoit since it became an official statistic in 1969.
Benoit is part of the Tigers' closer-by-committee format, but he was in the Texas Rangers' rotation late in the 2002 season when they made an early September trip to Baltimore.
Orioles starter John Stephens hit Rangers superstar Alex Rodriguez with two outs in the top of the first inning. When the O's came to bat in the bottom of the first, Rangers starter Aaron Myette threw two pitches behind leadoff man Melvin Mora and was ejected by home-plate umpire Mark Hirschbeck.
Todd Van Poppel, then pitching out of the Rangers' bullpen, came on and covered two innings. During the second inning, while the Rangers were pulling ahead, one of the coaches talked with Benoit, who was charting pitches that night since he was scheduled to start the next day.
"When Van Poppel pitched the first inning," Benoit said, "they came in and they asked me, 'Can you pitch?' And I said, 'Yeah, I'm starting tomorrow.' 'No, no, can you pitch now? And I'm like, 'Uhh, yeah.'"
So Benoit replaced Van Poppel after two hitless innings of work and made what amounted to a spot start that began in the third inning. And he rolled, retiring 18 out of the first 20 batters he faced. The only Orioles to reach base in that stretch both reached on hit-by-pitches.
Benoit took the mound in the ninth inning not only with a chance at a marathon save, but a chance to finish out a combined no-hitter. Jerry Hairston Jr. broke it up with a leadoff triple past right fielder Carl Everett.
Hairston scored, but Benoit retired the side in order from there to finish out the 7-1 win. He ended up with seven innings of one-hit, one-run ball for his first Major League save.
It was a big enough performance, he said, that Rangers owner Tom Hicks met him afterward and shook his hand.
"That's the first time I had a conversation with the Rangers owner," Benoit recalled. "He said, 'Congratulations, you have the longest save in Major League history. And I'm like, 'What? I didn't get the win?'"

It's the rarest and most interesting Scotch in the world, and it's off-limits to whiskey enthusiasts.
A crate of Scotch that was left by famed explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton in the Antarctic, where it became buried in ice over the last century was finally opened Friday. The crate, found under Shackleton's hut in 2006, was excavated and taken to New Zealand, were it has been thawed very slowly in recent weeks at the Canterbury Museum on South Island.
Inside, the alcohol archaeologists found 11 bottles of Mackinlay's Scotch whisky, wrapped in paper and straw to protect them from the rigors of a rough trip to Antarctica for Shackleton's 1907 Nimrod expedition.
Though the crate was frozen solid when it was dug out of the ice, the booze never froze under the 20-below temperatures and is described as being in remarkably good condition.
This Scotch is unlikely ever to be tasted, but master blenders will examine samples taken by syringes through the cork to see if they can replicate the brew. The original recipe for the Scotch no longer exists.
Once samples have been extracted and sent to Scottish distiller Whyte and Mackay, which took over Mackinlay's distillery many years ago, the 11 bottles will be returned to their home — under the floorboards of Shackleton's hut at Cape Royds on Ross Island, near Antarctica's McMurdo Sound.

Jermaine Pennant agrees new one-year deal with Stoke City
Jermaine Pennant has put pen to paper on a new one-year contract with Stoke City to end speculation he was to leave.
Last Updated: 18/06/13 4:42pm
The winger, who joined the Potters initially on a loan deal from Real Zaragoza in 2010, was due to leave the club at the end of the 2012/13 season.
But Pennant has impressed new boss Mark Hughes who believes the 30-year-old can prove an attacking asset for next term.
"I've admired Jermaine from afar and there is no question about his ability," said Hughes.
"I am looking to introduce more creativity and attacking options to the side, qualities Jermaine can certainly offer us.
"I had a very positive meeting with him and it's now up to him to show everyone what he is capable of doing."
Chief executive Tony Scholes said: "We have been impressed with Jermaine's determination to prove any doubters wrong.
"He clearly had a difficult time last season, but the Stoke fans love him and he loves them. We believe that at 30 years of age, he still has a lot to offer.
"The one-year contract, which has the option to be extended beyond that, has been structured in a way which should ensure he focuses on his performances on the field."
Pennant has made more than 70 appearances for the club but fell out of favour last season, spending a three-month loan spell with Championship side Wolves.

Heart showed a whole lotta love for Led Zeppelin at the Kennedy Center Honors, which aired Dec. 26, with a spot-on performance of (what else?) "Stairway to Heaven."
With Jason Bonham, the son of Zep's late, original drummer John Bonham, manning the skins, the Wilson sisters cranked out the classic alongside a small orchestra and choir that had Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones nodding in approval, not to mention some minor headbanging from President Obama right before the solo kicked in.
