Rieder: Detention aims to intimidate journalists
- Nine hours of questioning of Snowden saga journalist%27s partner trigger a furor in Britain
- Members of Parliament question whether he should have been detained under terrorism act
- A blatant attempt to intimidate journalists
It's a vivid example of how the war on terror can morph into a war on journalism.
The British government's outrageous nine-hour detention of David Miranda, a 28-year-old Brazilian, for nothing more than being the partner of Snowden saga journalist Glenn Greenwald, was an attempt at pure intimidation.
It's another reminder of how governments, in their efforts to protect freedoms, can sometimes take actions that erode them (See: Obama administration leak investigations).
Miranda was questioned at London's Heathrow Airport over the weekend under Schedule 7 of the British Terrorism Act, which allows authorities to detain people for up to nine hours and to search their personal items. It's unlikely anyone read Miranda his Miranda rights.
DETAINED:Greenwald's partner questioned
Schedule 7 applies only at airports, ports and border areas. The measure, which has come under sharp criticism in the past, is supposed to apply to people who may be linked to terrorism, not journalism.
Miranda's only sin seems to have been his connection to Greenwald, an American living in Brazil who has broken many stories in Britain's Guardian newspaper based on classified documents leaked by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden. The articles have revealed widespread surveillance by the NSA, infuriating the Obama administration and triggering a serious effort on Capitol Hill to rein in the intelligence agency.
SNOWDEN DRAMA:Shouldn't trump substance, Rieder says
In case you were wondering, the U.S. government wants you to know Miranda's detention wasn't its idea, although it was given a "heads up" by the Brits. "This is a decision that they made on their own and not at the request of the United States," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said.
Not surprisingly, Miranda's treatment stirred up a furor in Britain and outraged Brazilian officials.
Keith Vaz, chairman of Parliament's Home Affairs Select Committee, demanded answers. Noting that this was a "new use of terrorism legislation to detain someone in these circumstances," Vaz said he would ask police to justify their actions, the BBC reported.
And, he added pointedly, "Those of us who were part of passing this legislation certainly would not have expected it to be used in a case of this kind. That's what makes it so extraordinary."
Tom Watson, another member of Parliament, also had issues. "The clause in this act is not meant to be used as a catch-all that can be used in this way," he told The Guardian.
David Anderson, the independent reviewer of the terrorism law, says he wants an official briefing on what he calls an "unusual case." Here's one thing that's unusual about it: More than 97% of the people stopped under the law are questioned for under an hour.
So what was Miranda chatting about with the six agents grilling him all of that time? According to Greenwald, the conversation was not so much about terrorism. "They spent the entire day asking about the reporting I was doing and other Guardian journalists were doing on the NSA stories," he says.
Miranda was returning to Rio de Janeiro, where he and Greenwald live, from Berlin, where he had visited Laura Poitras, an American documentary filmmaker who has worked closely with Greenwald on the Snowden story. The Guardian said it paid for Miranda's flights.
According to The New York Times, Miranda was serving as a go-between, shuttling documents back and forth between Greenwald and Poitras. That operation may produce more embarrassments for the U.S., but it's a far cry from blowing up buildings. As the Brazilian Foreign Ministry said, there are no "legitimate" allegations that could place the ill-fated Miranda under the Terrorism Act.
After his nine hours were up, authorities released Miranda, who was questioned without a lawyer, but kept his laptop, phone and camera.
According to The Guardian, Schedule 7, which includes no automatic right to counsel and no right to refuse to cooperate, had come under fire well before Miranda's unfortunate misadventure, with allegations that it unfairly singles out minorities and provides too few protections. The British government has promised to review it. Let's get on that.
As is so often the case with such ham-handed measures, Britain's action is likely to backfire. Greenwald says he has no intention of backing down.
"The actions of the U.K. pose a serious threat to journalists everywhere," he told The Guardian. "But the last thing it will do is intimidate or deter us in any way from doing our job as journalists. Quite the contrary: It will only embolden us more to continue to report aggressively."
And one thing is for sure about this unseemly episode: It sure does take the Great out of Great Britain.

The history of police torture that I will discuss in this talk begins with 125 Black men in Chicago who were suffocated and shocked at Area Two police precinct. The story ends, however, in a much different place—with the torture of terrorism suspects abroad. Many of these torture survivors were eventually exonerated. Some received multi-million dollar payouts as recompense for their torture and confinement. But their exoneration should not reaffirm our faith in the law—quite the contrary. In this talk I will challenge my audience not to think of the innocent person as the quintessential torture victim. Rather, think about a person who committed a heinous crime. Imagine that person being bagged and suffocated and beaten within an inch of his life. Ask yourself: Can I see enough humanity in him to understand why it is just as wrong to torture him, as it is to torture an innocent man?
All talks in this series take place at Roosevelt House, 47-49 E 65th St, New York, NY 10065. A dinner and wine reception will precede the talk: Buffet dinner at 5:45 PM.

It is with great sorrow that we wish to announce the passing of one of the Wenner-Gren Foundation's greatest leaders and closest friends. Sydel Silverman was the president of Wenner-Gren from 1987 to 1999. She guided the Foundation through a critical phase in its history. She preserved the small grants program, which provides a crucial source of support for doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers. She held symposia that set new directions for the field. She was instrumental in expanding the international community of anthropologists, fostering the creation new professional associations and new conversations that cut across countries and traditions of work. We still strive to live by the values she cherished and to pursue the priorities she set. She will be sorely missed.

Summer Harvest Hunt
I'm also participating in the Summer Harvest Hunt. I've done a new color HUD, Fading Summer, with 110 brand new colors in it, including a selection of 5 natural colors, 10 fading colors, and a combination of these two for a lot of different looks. This gift also comes with the Kiera hairstyle. You can check out the hint list for all the stores here.
Here's a look at all the others you get in the Fading Summer HUD:
March 6th – Kristina and Kristian
Yeah, It's been way too long since I've posted one of these. I'M SO BAD AT THIS BLOGGING THING. It's been almost exactly a month since I drafted this. Maybe I'll try to fit in 2 today. Anyway, on to the next haaaaaair.
Male and female versions of this hair are available as per request by the amazing Winter Jefferson, pictured below:
January 20th – Zee
Zee was a hairstyle I did based off one of my favorite singer/songwriters, Zee Avi. Along with this lovely photo by Maelenn Catteneo, which I think is quite appropriate, here's a link to one of Miss Avi's songs.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Happy New Year!
Uuuuuuuuugh, I'm like the worst person ever and completely forgot (again) to blog stuff. I was just about to take down all the sale stuff, but since I did forget to blog, I'm extending the sale another 12 hours, or until I get back from my dentist appointment tomorrow, whichever comes last. The earliest the sale platform will be gone is 12 noon SLT today.
Here's the remaining hair releases. Happy New Year, everyone.
New Year's Countdown: Day 6
And HERE are the styles for Day 6! Didn't get caught up like I wanted to last night due to lots of fail and reuploading of this hair. : ( Ugh. One day I'll get it perfect on the first try.
New Year's Countdown: Day 7
OMG I really thought I had posted Momo on here! Geez. Well, here are the hairstyles for Day 7.
New Year's countdown: Day 8!
Hiiiiiii guys! I'm sooooooooo sorry I've been really late on posts and stuff. Lots of pre-Christmas unexpectedness happened, so I will probably be late on the next two releases, but I'm gonna try not to. If I do though, lucky you, you get a longer time to get them at the sale price. I'm finishing up today's release and hopefully, unless I find something magically wrong with it again, it'll be out soon today : ) I've also got something cooking up for my VIPs. I'll have more info later, as well as info on how to join the VIP group.
That said, this release has been in store for the time it's supposed to be, but in my tiredness the night I put it out, I totally forgot to blog it. So, here it is! Katie for Day 8. Also comes in a male version. Be happy there's a male version cause that's another thing that threw me behind! lol
New Year's Countdown: Day 9
Day 9 is here! Here's today's hairstyle, and a teleport to the event.
Alice Project New Year's Countdown Begins!
Today marks ten more days 'til the new year, and I'm celebrating with one new hairstyle everyday! Yay! Each style will be released at 50% off for one day only, then the savings will return for all styles on New Year's Day for an encore sale at 25% off. Hopefully this will be an annual event, and eventually include things other than hair. Here's a landmark straight to the event.
Today's hairstyle is Clarissa, which also comes with a male counterpart, Clarus (my first male style in SL!). I'm hoping to do male versions of some styles that look okay with male avatars since a lot of people have asked me about that. The female version comes in 3 sizes, and the male in one, cause let's my honest, I don't really have anything to base other male sizes on. If you've got a shape that doesn't fit will with this hair, feel free to drop me a demo/similar shape to your so I can have something to go by.
Mesh reworkings!
I need to blog these before I get really behind! Something new is coming tomorrow too, so I need to stop putting this off. A lot of people have asked me if I would pleeeeeeease make Persuasion and Wonderland as mesh styles, and since I've been hoarding hairstyles (hint hint), I decided to do these up real quick since I didn't really have anything else I could release and it's been awhile since the last release! Anyway, I'll have news soon about more new stuff, and plus tomorrow's release, too. I'm really excited but I don't wanna say anything yet in case something comes up! So yes, here's a couple styles for this week.
Oh, I almost forgot!! Since these are really reworkings of old hair that's been out forever, right now they're on sale for 50% off and will be through the rest of the weekend or sometime later next week. Enjoy!

Some shows there's so much buzz about specific products that the Hot Picks practically write themselves. This show, however, the standouts were more difficult to pick out from a solid field of offerings at a quiet show in Chicago. But after much consideration, and some difficult decisions about some eliminations to get the list to only ten, here's the Scrapbook Update Top Ten Hot Picks List for CHA Summer 2012:
Martha Stewart Adhesive Silk Screens by Plaid
I knew as soon as I saw (and tried) this product that it would be a hot pick! These silkscreens are an extension of Plaid's fabulous line of Martha Stewart acrylic paints and adhesive stencils – and the silkscreens really impress.

Rated 5 out of 5 by GeoMondiale from Great set! Bought this set a couple of weeks ago and have since added two more pieces. I purchased the 8" fryer, and the 1 1/2 quart sauce pan. I love the quality, versatility, shape & shiny stainless.Date published: 2019-09-11Rated 5 out of 5 by JaneMarie from I should have bought these a long time ago... I have only used these a few days now, but I know I am a fan for life! In my 20's, I didn't think much about the difference quality cookware would make and I sure wish I had. I also thought cookware like this was for really experienced cooks, but I found it easier to cook with a pan that heats consistently like these. I am happy there is a small set like this because I didn't want to buy one of the large sets with pots and pans I rarely used. This set contains the core basics that I use daily. I did buy the 8" non stick skillet separately to complete my set. There is one thing I would change. I wish they would swap out the 2qt saucepan for the 3qt saucepan in the set.Date published: 2018-11-09Rated 5 out of 5 by Krconatser from Awesome!!!! I truly love this set. It's my first time using stainless steel and I can't be any happier. I use it and clean it the way it's suppose to be and looks new after each use. It's the perfect set for what I need although I did add a stock pot for pasta.Date published: 2018-09-01
Is there a certain product to use when cleaning the All-Chad pots and pans?Hi Carol, We recommend a fine-powdered cleanser such as Bar Keepers Friend: https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/bar-keepers-friend-cleanser-polish/Date published: 2019-11-10
Does sauté pan lid snuggly fit the 10" fry pan?Hi Brad, The diameter of the sauté pan is 10 1/2" and will a bit too big to use on the 10" fry pan. All of the All-Clad lids are made to sit on the rim of the pans exactly. There is not a tight or snug fit involved.Date published: 2019-04-13

Following science-based guidelines works
Not only do they have the potential to improve a patient's quality of life; they can potentially save a life.
In 2007, the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP), coordinated by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), released its third set of clinical practice guidelines for asthma. The Expert Panel Report 3—Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma (EPR-3) reflects the latest scientific advances in asthma drawn from a systematic review of the published medical literature by an NAEPP-convened expert panel. It describes a range of generally accepted best-practice approaches for making clinical decisions about asthma care.
The EPR-3 emphasizes the importance of asthma control and focuses on two domains—current impairment and future risk—by which to assess asthma severity (for initiating therapy) and asthma control (for ongoing monitoring). EPR-3 also includes an expanded section on childhood asthma (with an additional age group), new guidance on medications, new recommendations on patient education in settings beyond the physician's office, and new advice for controlling environmental exposures that can cause asthma symptoms.
Scientific evidence clearly shows that most people could control their asthma by following current asthma clinical practice guidelines. With proper care, people who have asthma can stay active, sleep through the night, and avoid having their lives disrupted by asthma attacks.
As a general rule, patients with well-controlled asthma should have:

Enviro Studies Is Official
Increasingly popular program gains department status. by Melanie Breault '11
A biodiesel production facility, natural landscaping, energy audits, and sustainable food service to reduce waste — every one of those initiatives," says Michael Smith, assistant professor of history and of environmental studies, "has been stimulated by an environmental studies student."
The increasing popularity of the 11-year-old environmental studies program has led the College to make it official. There's now a Department of Environmental Studies and Science within the School of Humanities and Sciences (H&S). The department offers two interdisciplinary programs, leading to an environmental studies major or minor, and an environmental science major.
With its growing reputation and multidisciplinary faculty across fields such as biology, history, ecology, and economics, the program has seen increased enrollment every year. In 2008 it had more than 60 majors and 20 minors, and the incoming freshman class this year brought in about 25 new students.
Last year, a self-study and an external review by three independent environmental studies professors resulted in the recommendation to create the department. Former H&S dean Howard Ehrlich handed the proposal over to new dean Leslie Lewis, and from there a task force was assembled by provost Kathleen Rountree to evaluate the needs of the program, including accommodation for the growing number of students.
"Department status will better solidify the resources and support that go to students," Lewis says. "Our students make a difference in real-world problems, and we expect them to continue to do so."
For example, Michelle Uberbacher '12 wants to be a "green" architect, creating what she calls "healthy living alternatives" for the overpopulated New York–New Jersey–Connecticut tri-state area. When Uberbacher came to the College last year, there was no department, only a program. This year, she says, she didn't notice any changes until she looked at the newly registered faces in her environmental science classes. "Now I see politics majors, history majors, all different types of students taking [these] courses," she says.
Smith, who specializes in environmental history and public history and is a member of the Environmental Studies Program Steering Committee, says the new department adds to the College's prestige. "There aren't that many schools of our size and profile that have environmental studies departments," he says. "They're usually found at bigger universities."
Growing from a program to a department brings many advantages. More full-time faculty members will be hired, which, in turn, will enable them to "increase the environmental literacy of Ithaca College students," says Susan Allen-Gil, department chair.
Allen-Gil wants to bring greater awareness of environmental and sustainability concepts not only to the College's backyard, but also to the rest of the world. Encouraging student involvement in activities and events such as a demonstration of the 350.org International Day of Climate Action on campus and attendance at the Copenhagen Climate Conference in Denmark this December, the new department bolsters the College's commitment to sustainability and sustainability literacy.
The importance of real-world involvement in this field is why associate professor of environmental studies and science Jason Hamilton does almost as much instruction outside as he does inside the classroom. "It's very easy to teach and learn environmental studies here," he says. "Ithaca and Tompkins County are very strong, with experts in areas such as organic farming and permaculture, and can provide opportunities for students to have internships, get jobs, or gain practical experience just minutes away."
Faculty, students, and staff agree that the move to a new department was the right one. Hamilton says the department's growing strengths and the greater opportunities it can offer students will increase the academic stature of the College and the professional impact alumni will make to the field. "The whole focus of the program is learning by doing, so we went back to the beginning and designed the perfect curriculum."

Turkey Vulture Collides with Car
I just saw this on the local New York ABC affiliate 12:00 news:
PARSIPPANY, N.J. - State police say a turkey vulture injured a passenger when it crashed through a minivan's windshield Friday. It happened on Interstate 80 in Parsippany. State Police Sgt. Stephen Jones says a man was driving his Dodge Caravan in the eastbound lanes when the bird flew up. Jones says the bird went through the glass and ended up in the seat. The man's wife, who was a passenger, had glass fragments around her eye. Jones says the vehicle was towed away by Eagle Towing.
The report showed footage of the vehicle with a huge hole in the windshield. The bird did not survive.

KREMMLING – The Board of Regents has decided to make personal phone calls to lure high-achieving students who are considering the University of Colorado.
The Daily Camera reports the small recruitment project comes after a 3.6 percent enrollment dip in in-state freshmen on Boulder's campus last fall. The plan is in addition to a new merit-based scholarship program recognizing high-caliber Colorado students, and Boulder campus officials have invested $2 million into the fund.
The "CU-Boulder Esteemed Scholars Program" will be awarded to a select group of resident freshmen, with awards totaling $10,000 to $20,000 over four years and doled out based on their high school grade-point averages and test scores.
The regents met Friday at a retreat held at CU president Bruce Benson's mountain ranch.

Ari TV is the Voice of Sendai: Responding to the tragedy of the tsunami by being tenacious
Ari TV is the Voice of Sendai: Responding to the tragedy of the tsunami by being tenacious
Pierre Leblanc and Lee Jay Walker
Modern Tokyo Times
Ari TV (http://www.ari-tv.jp/top.html) is a clear reminder about the tenacity of the Tohoku region which was badly hit by the devastating tsunami of March 11, 2011. Therefore, with the first anniversary getting nearer to March 11, 2012, it is important to highlight this media group for all the positive things that they have done.
Since the devastating 9.0-magnitude earthquake which unleashed the brutal tsunami, this media group dug deep in order to undercover the "real stories." This applies to highlighting the determination of the Tohoku region and how the people of Sendai have responded.
Also, because Ari TV is based in Sendai then clearly this media group can connect with local people. More important, unlike many mass media outlets who often enter and highlight an important story which is happening in Sendai, Ari TV is their around the clock. This fact enables Ari TV to express the "real feelings" of the local community and clearly strong bonds have been developed whereby this media group is informed at all times about local events, individuals who are fantastic role models, companies who are focused on regeneration, and organizations trying to help.
Ari TV (http://en.re-tohoku.jp/) also understood the international concerns after the devastating tsunami. Therefore, the introduction of the Tohoku Revival Calendar which is highlighted above was a nice touch because you can read continuous updates in English and Japanese. This aspect also highlights rebirth because clearly Ari TV is developing new international links.
It is equally vital that Ari TV is supported commercially because you have so much work to do in Sendai and throughout the Tohoku region. After all, sadly, you still have thousands of missing people in early 2012 and this aspect highlights the complete devastation of March 11, 2011. This also means that the nightmare goes on for many because you have no "closure" and "special grave" to visit and connect.
Therefore, it is essential that the local government, the central government, local businesses, businesses throughout Japan, and others, support Ari TV and all the positive work they do around the clock. After all, Ari TV can reach "local people" because this media group is fully interwoven with Sendai and the Tohoku region. Also, Sendai is the main city in Tohoku with regards to population and a healthy Sendai is vital for the regional economy.
In the photo above which was published on March 2, 2012, Ari TV is highlighting the regeneration of a shopping mall. However, unlike the glitzy areas of modern day Japan the brutal reality of the tsunami is visible in this image. Yet despite the clear limitations currently available to this shopping mall and having to move into housed shopping containers; locals don't view the same image because to them this is a sign of rebirth and the start of a long process to normality.
Takano from Ari TV comments that "The big revival shopping area "South Sanriku SanSan Mall" opened in South Sanriku town, Miyagi, on February 25th. These shops are temporarily housed in shipping containers. The name comes from the people's desire to make a mall filled with smiles and energy (which is) bright like the shining sun."
In an early article by Modern Tokyo Times the "Suzuki Farm Harvest" was highlighted and this applies to the tenaciousness of Mr. Suzuki (photo above). He fully understood that salt water had damaged the fields and it appeared impossible to regenerate in such a short period of time, if at all. However, Mr. Suzuki was adamant that he would overcome all the obstacles in front of him and this set of a chain reaction whereby local people gave him the support he needed.
This moving story is one of many by Ari TV and this is why this media group needs support. After all, Ari TV is part of the community that they represent and because they are based "on the ground," then they can highlight unique events.
Please support Ari TV by watching their many programs in Japanese providing you are a Japanese speaker. Also, if you main language is English or it is your second language then please view the Tohoku Revival Calendar. Irrespective of language, Ari TV can build bridges throughout the local community and wider Tohoku region and also internationally. Therefore, Ari TV is "the voice of Sendai."

Roads, at their core, are pretty boring.
Most of them are simply utensils built by governments to ferry people from point A to B.
But not all roads are like this - some are special.
Twisting and winding their way into our hearts, some roads have a magic about them – as if they've been designed for pleasure, rather than to connect pieces on a map.
They might be rare, but roads like this are a petrol head's dream – so that's why we've compiled this list.
It's by no means definitive, but trust us, these roads are very special indeed.

Ubuntu Smartphone Shipping in October
Smartphones running the open source Ubuntu operating system will be available to customers beginning in October 2013, according to Mark Shuttleworth, founder and CEO of Canonical Ltd. Canonical provides services for corporate customers using Ubuntu open source software. Application developers will have access to the smaartphone operating system, which is optimized for the Galaxy Nexus handset manufactured by Samsung Electronics, in late February.
Ubuntu, a Linux-based operating system used to run servers and other infrastructure in many corporate IT departments, will be available on a full range of devices, including desktop and tablet computers, potentially providing corporate IT executives a way to reduce the number of devices they purchase and manage. The smartphones can be docked to larger displays, wirelessly connected to keyboards and other peripherals, and have Windows-based applications streamed to them from corporate servers. This would mean users could access all manner of corporate data through a single, pocket-sized device. "You can share Windows apps to the phone desktop," said Mr. Shuttleworth during a meeting in New York Tuesday. Other operating systems running on smartphones, such as Microsoft's Windows Apple's iOS and Google's Android, are at least slightly different versions of the same operating systems running tablets or PCs, and those differences often mean the same data can't run on all three form factors.
Other hardware and application vendors, including General Dynamics and Citrix Systems, are developing handsets that can provide uncompromised access to corporate data, but have yet to make a significant dent in the market.
But despite its popularity among open source developers, Ubuntu, too, faces significant challenges in penetrating the business smartphone market; one is that many companies now allow employees to use their own smartphones and tablets for work – a trend known as "bring your own device" – and have already adapted to the overwhelming popularity of iOS and Android devices; another is that device choices are largely driven by the number of applications available to users, of which there are very few currently for Ubuntu.
While switching to an all-Ubuntu-based environment wouldn't make sense for many organizations, it could appeal to companies which employ large numbers of Linux developers. Those companies include companies running large-scale Web-based businesses, and run the gamut from financial services firms to consumer shopping, streaming media and social networking sites. For heavily regulated industries, and "very security-conscious organizations, and where IT still have control over which devices people bring to work, Ubuntu is definitely an option," says Chris Hazelton, a mobile analyst with business advisory firm The 451 Group LLC.
But despite its attractiveness to corporate IT, "the real challenge is overcoming this very large BYOD phenomenon," said Mr. Hazelton. Another may be that many IT organizations have already adapted to an imperfect world, and support a variety of operating systems – even for developer environments where applications need to be written and tested for different operating systems. "It seems overly complicated to me," noted Carolina Milanesi, a mobile analyst for Gartner
Mr. Shuttleworth said the new phone operating system will be available in two large geographic markets in October, and while he didn't commit to North America being one of those, he said North America is "absolutely a key market for Ubuntu." He said the operating system has drawn interest from carriers as well, many of which are eager to break up the smartphone market hegemony of Apple and Google. Mr. Shuttleworth declined to identify carrier or handset partners.

Missing Mo. Baby's Age Makes Her Harder to Find
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- The reported sightings have come from as far as California, people just certain they've spotted the blond-haired Kansas City baby whose cherubic face has been printed on fliers and circulated on national television programs since her disappearance three weeks ago.
Yet so far, the roughly 200 calls fielded by Kansas City police have only generated a string of false positives in the search for Lisa Irwin. The problem, officials say, is that at her age -- just 10 months when she went missing on Oct. 4 -- countless babies match the same description, right down to the bright blue eyes and two bottom teeth. She does have a distinguishing birth mark on her right thigh, but that would hardly be noticed from a distance.
"There is a kind of generic, cute little baby, little chubby cheek, bald-headed baby look," said Ernie Allen, president of the Center for Missing and Exploited Children. "But our message to the public is, look at her picture. Really look at her in the eyes. Don't just see a cute little baby but look in the child's face. Like every human being she is unique. She is different. She doesn't look like every baby."
Investigators in the past week have stepped up their focus on the parents Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin, searching their home after a cadaver dog reacted to what seemed to be the scent of a dead person inside.
Yet amid those developments, police say they continue to follow up on other tips and leads. Allen said his organization received at least a dozen tips over the weekend, even after news of the cadaver dog's finding became public.
The couple's attorneys, meanwhile, say the parents -- who insist someone must have snatched Lisa as her mother and two other boys slept -- are still answering questions and deny having anything to do with the disappearance. Without any formal suspects, police can't yet rule out that Lisa was abducted in the middle of the night and taken away from the area, potentially entering a vast pool of infants that could pass for Lisa.
"We do not want to discourage any one from calling in a tip that may lead to Lisa Irwin," police spokeswoman Sgt. Stacey Graves said.
ABC News reported Sunday that it had obtained fuzzy surveillance video from a gas station near the home showing an unidentified man leaving a wooded area in the early morning, just before the baby was discovered missing from her crib. Kansas City police spokesman Steve Young declined to comment on the video.
Other tips have focused on the baby herself. Last week, police in Manhattan, Kan., about two hours west of Kansas City, scrambled six officers to look for a black car with Missouri license plates after getting a tip that two women eating at a deli had a baby who looked like Lisa. Police eventually tracked down the "creeped out" customer and confirmed the child she had seen wasn't Lisa. The child may have looked like Lisa, but the baby was a little older and had reddish hair, said Riley County Police Capt. Kurt Moldrup, adding that matching a baby in public to a photo of Lisa
is tricky, partially because of her age.
As the father of 11, Moldrup should know. He said his children looked a lot like Lisa when they were babies.
"It's hard to take a picture and put that on a real face," he said. "Video is better. Kids, it's even harder."
In northwest Missouri, police in St. Joseph have taken at least three calls from people who thought they saw Lisa. One came from a gas station where a child in a car seat resembled the missing baby. Another time, a couple shopping at a St. Joseph mall aroused suspicions before an officer was able to use a photo to determine
their baby wasn't Lisa.
"Something that has attracted this much attention is generating a lot of, `That looks like it could be.' And so they are calling the police to check it out," said St. Joseph police spokesman Commander Jim Connors. "I actually favor that kind of thing. It's better than people not calling the police to check it out."
Over the past 20 years, about one in six children has been recovered as the result of photographs on fliers, billboards and other media, Allen said.
In one case in Texas, a 5-year-old saw a flier on her dining room table and told her mother that the pictured boy was a
classmate. Her mother was doubtful but eventually called the school principal. It was learned that the boy had been abducted from Michigan.
Allen said another child was recovered after a young girl waiting in a south Texas health clinic wandered down a hallway and recognized one of the children on a missing children bulletin board
"There is example after example," he said. "Photos are powerful."

APPROVAL for a George Harrison memorial in Liverpool is still awaited nearly three years after the former Beatle's death.
Both Capital of Culture leader Sir Bob Scott and the council's chief executive David Henshaw are liaising with Harrison's widow Olivia to develop a suitable scheme.
But they stress it is still at a "sensitive" stage and no site or timescale has yet been agreed. One suggestion is that the memorial could take the form of a garden in Sefton Park's Palm House, since Harrison supported its refurbishment.
The city is anxious to avoid the war of words that has broken out in Harrison's adopted home of Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, where another memorial is planned.
His widow has accused some of her local councillors of behaviour "bordering on the offensive" over the issue.
The couple lived in Friar Park, a mansion in its own estate overlooking Henley.
The council first suggested the project 18 months ago, but Mrs Harrison vetoed plans for a memorial near Friar Park, fearing her home would be overrun by Beatles fans.
Alternative sites were discussed, and a flower bed under a bridge crossing the Thames has been planted in his honour.
But Mrs Harrison was enraged after a council meeting in which Henley's Mayor, Chris Pye, said she needed "kicking into gear."
He said: "It has been going on for too long and we have had no decision from her regarding a memorial. She cannot keep fobbing us off because she cannot be bothered to see us."
She wrote in reply: "This makes me wonder whether it might be best to abandon the proposal altogether."
She denied accusations that she had been "fobbing off" the council, saying she had "two intense years of family matters to attend to."
"I am very aware that the impact of a hasty decision could have long-term implications for the family and the town," she said.
Some councillors believe Harrison's profile in the town was too low to justify spending public funds on a memorial.
One councillor, Barry Wood, said: "No disrespect, but I do not think he acknowledged this town openly."
The council recommended Mrs Harrison be given until the end of July.
A spokesman for Liverpool council said it was still waiting for a decision from Mrs Harrison.
He said: "It is something that's got to be handled sensitively, and we are in discussion with George's family to decide what is the most appropriate tribute to him.
"Part of those discussions is finding a suitable site for the memorial."

FILM REVIEW; A Nerdy Orphan Plows Ahead With a Lot of Familiar Novelties
By A.O. SCOTT
Published: March 30, 2007
At the end of ''Meet the Robinsons,'' a new 3-D computer-animated Disney film (loosely based on a popular children's book by William Joyce), the screen is filled with an inspiring quotation from Walt Disney himself. The gist of it is that ''around here'' -- meaning at Disney's entertainment workshop -- not a lot of time is spent looking backward. Instead, the motto is, as it is for some of the characters in the film, ''Keep moving forward.''
In other words, learn from your mistakes. And it seems appropriate that this great man's words appear at the end of this movie, since they implicitly invite you to forget what you have just seen and may even serve as a sort of apology. Whether or not it counts as a mistake -- movies tend to be made on purpose -- ''Meet the Robinsons'' is surely one of the worst theatrically released animated features issued under the Disney label in quite some time.
Lewis, the bespectacled orphan who is this film's hero, is a budding inventor whose obsessive nerdiness turns off potential adoptive parents. One of his less successful creations is a peanut-butter-and-jelly-sandwich machine that sprays brown and purple goo in every direction except onto the waiting bread. And so it is with ''Meet the Robinsons.'' With increasing desperation, the filmmakers (Stephen Anderson directed and shares screenwriting credit with a half-dozen other writers) and their Disney and Pixar supervisors hurl fun at the screen, digging deep into their bag of used novelties.
Lonely orphans? Hey, this is Disney; they practically invented lonely orphans. If you like time travel, they have that too. Lessons for the children: take your pick. Warm fuzzies for the grown-ups? That's what lonely orphans are for. But if that's not enough, the movie also has singing frogs -- hey, it's not like Warner Brothers owns that idea or anything -- a lovable T-Rex and a bowler hat with claws. And a kid from the future with Jimmy Neutron's hair! And an amusing talking robot like the ones in ''Robots''! And a crazy extended family like the ones in lots of other movies! And Tom Selleck! And Rufus Wainwright (singing on the soundtrack). Rufus Wainwright? But did I mention the bowler hats? They're plotting to take over the world.
Curiously, this last plot point yields the only visually interesting section of the movie, a brief sequence in which the much-ballyhooed 3-D technology is yoked to a dystopian architectural vision that recalls Japanese anime. Otherwise, the effects seem as haphazard and tacked-on as the plotlines. The present-day world where Lewis starts out looks as drab and generic as a studio back lot set, and the landscape of the future is lifeless and badly scaled. ''The Jetsons'' did it better.
And, with the exception of a few quiet early moments before the full whirligig of narrative starts spinning, just about everything in ''Meet the Robinsons'' has been done better before, including at the Disney factory. This movie has
more in common with cobbled-together junk like ''Chicken Little'' and ''Treasure Planet'' than with the studio's classics. But it's all right. I guess everyone makes
mistakes -- though only movie studios expect the rest of us to pay for theirs.
Meet the Robinsons
Opens today nationwide.
Directed by Stephen Anderson; written by Jon Bernstein, Michelle Spitz, Don Hall, Nathan Greno, Aurian Redson, Joe Mateo and Mr. Anderson, based on the book ''A Day With Wilbur Robinson'' by William Joyce; edited by Ellen Keneshea; music by Danny Elfman; art director, Robh Ruppel; produced by Dorothy McKim; released by Walt Disney Pictures. Running time: 93 minutes. This film is rated G.
WITH THE VOICES OF: Daniel Hansen/Jordan Fry (Lewis), Angela Bassett (Mildred), Tom Selleck (Cornelius Robinson), Harland Williams (Carl), Laurie Metcalf (Lucille Krunklehorn), Nicole Sullivan (Franny) and Adam West (Uncle Art).

I've settled on a theme for one of my blogs. Is it possible to just wrap your stylesheet (style.css on most themes) in @media queries, and make your entire theme responsive, or fluid, so it works well on all browsers and screen resolutions?
If so, does anybody know how I can accomplish this? Or is there a better, easier way to accomplish this?
I mean, can I just put this at the top of my style.css?
@media screen and (max-height: 700px) {

and of course at the very bottom, just:
Will this make my entire theme fluid or responsive, or is it much more in-depth than that? Any guidance in this regard would be greatly appreciated!

A's making a pitch to remain in Oakland
After years of futile attempts to relocate to the South Bay, the Oakland A's appear resigned to staying put at the Coliseum and are in negotiations for a 10-year lease extension.
"We hope to have (a deal) as soon as possible," A's co-owner and managing partner Lew Wolff told us Tuesday. "It's really up to Oakland now."
The new lease could keep the A's at the Coliseum until at least 2024. It calls for the team to make nominal rent payments in return for the A's paying for $10 million to $12 million in stadium improvements.
Most notably, the improvements include a new electronic scoreboard and a ribbon scoreboard between the first and second decks.
For the past five years, the A's have been pushing Major League Baseball for permission to move to San Jose, over the objection of the Giants, who consider the South Bay their territory. MLB has reacted by studying the issue to death.
In the meantime, the A's have agreed to a series of short extensions at the Coliseum.
On Tuesday, Wolff told us that "the best thing would be 10 years - we really don't want to keep revisiting this."
Oakland City Councilman Larry Reid, who sits on the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Authority, said the deal could range anywhere from five to 10 years.
Although Mayor Jean Quan is not directly involved in the talks, locking in the A's for 10 years would be a victory for her. She has been dangling a potential ballpark site at the port north of Jack London Square - a spot Wolff and A's co-owner John Fisher aren't keen on.
Separately, the mayor has pushed a big redevelopment of the Coliseum complex that would include separate new stadiums for football and baseball. She has gone so far as to predict that the Raiders would sign a deal for a new stadium by late this summer.
How a new A's lease would affect those plans is unclear. The mayor declined to comment Tuesday, and when asked recently about the Raiders deal, her spokesman Sean Maher steered clear of any specifics - including how much taxpayer money, if any, would be pledged toward a new football stadium.
Coliseum Authority member Chris Dobbins said the board is expected to take up the issue of the A's lease - and its effect on the Raiders - at a meeting Friday.
"We want to lock the Raiders in before we make a long-term deal with the A's," Dobbins said.
Wolff, however, said he doesn't see the Raiders posing much of a problem.
"There's a clause (in the proposed lease) that if the Raiders build a new facility, with some notice we will evacuate," Wolff said. Just where the team would play, however, isn't clear.
As for the A's dream of moving to San Jose?
"We are not allowed to comment on any of that, so I am not going to," Wolff said.
For now, Wolff would say only, "I am taking steps incrementally ... and having an extension in Oakland is what our next step is."
For the defense: Lewis Clinton Jr., the AC Transit chief financial officer who was just charged with embezzling more than $500,000 from the Allen Temple Baptist Church, has been put on indefinite leave from the transit agency - and will continue collecting his $225,000 annual salary.
"None of the charges concern his work at AC Transit, and while he has been charged, there is also a presumption of innocence," said AC Transit spokesman Clarence Johnson.
On the other hand, Johnson said, "there also is a matter of appearance in terms of his handling the system's finances."
Johnson said there's been no talk of reassigning the 57-year-old Clinton to another job.
"This will give him the time and space to deal with the current situation," Johnson said.
Just how long Clinton's paid leave will last is an open question that will be answered by AC General Manager David Armijo.
"There is plenty of time if, in fact, the leave needs to be rethought," said AC board President Greg Harper.
Clinton is facing four felony fraud and grand-theft counts stemming from his position as head of two nonprofit boards and a foundation run by the East Oakland church.
Prosecutors say Clinton siphoned more than $500,000 from the church and spent it on everything from his own business to house payments, golfing and a luxury car.
Neither Clinton nor his attorney responded to calls for comment.
