"The AAA's Ad Hoc Commission on Anthropology's Engagement with the Security and Intelligence Communities (CEAUSSIC) continues its work. Our main activities at present include: 1. the writing of a report to the AAA on the widely and hotly debated Human Terrain System of the U.S. Army (by the fall), 2. The editing of a casebook illustrating the diversity of kinds of practicing anthropology, including associated ethical questions, with a primary emphasis upon the security sector broadly conceived, 3. And providing support for the AAA's ongoing ethics process. In an effort to keep our work transparent and part of the public and disciplinary discussion of all of the above, CEAUSSIC is also going to be contributing a monthly entry to the AAA's blog. Each entry, by different CEAUSSIC members, will address topics that have arisen or that we have been thinking about, which we will continue to discuss via the blog, a discussion in which we hope you will also participate."
October 13, 2009
Carolyn Fluehr-Lobban, Prof. of Anthropology RIC, CEAUSSIC member
Thus far in the CEAUSSIC blog Rob Albro has reminded us of the distinction between intelligence analysts and fieldwork-based anthropologists; Monica Schoch-Spana has provided insight into the 'colliding worlds of anthropology, public health and national security; Laurie Rush has argued against any false opposition between the ethics of professional archaeology and the military; and David Price argued that the political cannot be divorced from the ethical, try as we might to separate the two for fear of collegial cleavages along political lines. These thoughtful offerings on this blog are all part of the complex terrain the Commission has been negotiating since 2006.
As I reflect upon the work of CEAUSSIC, I see the Commission in the context of the periodic crises of conscience that have marked the development of ethics discourse in American anthropology–from Franz Boas' censure, to Camelot, to Vietnam, to Darkness in El Dorado, and now military and national security engagement. It is instructive that the involvement of anthropologists in World War II was not a crisis of conscience, as the darker side of this "good war" only came to light decades after the events. When ethical questions are raised — in response to a book, news report, or some alleged misconduct– the discipline withdraws into a defensive mode and commissions or task forces are established to respond to the demand that "we do something." In the case of CEAUSSIC, the response was both reactive (to the CIA ad and news reports about anthropologists and Human Terrain Teams) and proactive insofar as the Commission was well-balanced in its composition (both in Phases I and II) and was given the luxury of four years time to conclude its work.
We are now nearing the end of Phase II and the conversations, while diverse and broadly constituted in face to face meetings and conference calls, nonetheless continue to struggle to find precision, intent, shared meaning, and vocabulary. We often conclude our stimulating sessions with the lament that we could not share the richness of our discussion with the broader community of anthropologists. Our struggle for the "right words," I believe, reflects a collective lack of basic training in professional ethics discourse. We were often held back by the lack of a shared normative base for discussion and debate about ethics traceable to our own education in undergraduate and graduate programs of anthropology. There is a disciplinary lag in ethics education that is especially acute because it exists at a time in which the environment of research has become ever more complex.
How can we advance a continuous, vigorous, discussion of ethics in anthropology so that a majority of professionally trained anthropologists are prepared for the next crisis? I propose that ethics education be gradually phased in to eventually become a mandatory part of professional anthropological undergraduate and graduate training, and that the AAA put its weight behind such an initiative. Since the AAA does not credential or license, its weight as the major professional organization of anthropologists offers crucial legitimacy to the fundamental importance of ethics education. Pursuing the goal of ethics education as a mandatory part of anthropology curricula would normalize ethics discourse, freeing it from its historic reactivity to periodic crises. Raising the literacy level in professional ethics would eventually eliminate the need for special tasks forces and commissions that are established periodically to revisit ethics in response to each crisis. In the present laissez faire system of anthropology education, there is a range of adequacy regarding ethics. Some programs and individual professionals import a high ethical consciousness into their basic curriculum or in research methods courses, while others may only discuss ethics in regard to mandatory appearances before university or other IRBs. There is still a tradition of resistance to the annoyance of having to go before an IRB. Part of this history rests with anthropology as the study of "the other," of "subjects," using "informants," whereby the anthropologist is ideally unfettered with unlimited freedom to conduct research. But, clearly, this is not the world we live in. As standard practice, all anthropological research is, or should be, subject to external review. Indeed, this is a significant problem with certain forms of military, security engagement where external review is not required.
An open system of ethical discourse is established by making ethics talk pervasive in the classroom, basic to all research projects, and a clear base that informs analysis and publication of research results. With a normative ethical discourse, the distinctions made by the previous bloggers– between anthropologist and intelligence analyst–between the archaeologist and government agencies, or public health and national security — or between ethics and politics–would be known, or knowable, for the anthropologist grappling with ethical dilemmas. The relevant principles and related issues–for example that ethics is about principles, not politics– would have been discussed in an academic or collegial format before they are encountered as real field issues.
A future standard ethics curriculum would minimally include a history of the discipline and ethics– this would help to correct misconstruing history, as has been the case in security engagement polemics where a standard of "voluntary informed consent" is often cited as 'traditional' or normative when, in fact, language on informed consent appears for the first time in the 1998 AAA code. It would also include case studies representing a realistic spectrum of scenarios and dilemmas where mixed outcomes are the likely norm, and clear positive or negative outcomes are likely exceptions. Such a Casebook is one goals of Phase II of CEAUSSIC. An ethics curriculum would stress the collective gratitude that we anthropologists owe to our research collaborators and would celebrate the joys of these close, long term cross-cultural relationships. In this light the practice of fieldwork-based anthropology, whatever the sub-field, is a privilege not an assumed, unfettered right. The humility that this approach to ethics engenders and the trust it is built upon offers more of a guarantee that anthropologists will continue to have access to the world's people, the poor and vulnerable, as well as its elites and power brokers.

Air Warfare in the Missile Age
Smithsonian Institution, Dec 2, 2014 - History - 352 pages
Lon O. Nordeen has completely updated his 1985 chronicle of military aviation's evolving role in warfare, now covering the major conflicts of the past four decades. He presents the historical and political background of each conflict and includes in-depth discussions of the aircraft, weapons, tactics, training, new systems, and other factors that influenced the outcome of each war. New and existing chapters have been enhanced with information based on recently declassified material—especially regarding Vietnam—and new sources in Egypt, Israel, and the former Soviet Union. As "smart" bombs have become more successful in reducing the risks for pilots and frontline troops, air-missile warfare has become the central player in military conflicts. Air Warfare in the Missile Age, Second Edition, is a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of modern air warfare.

In this edition of LIFEadvice, coach Kim addresses the fear and stress that come with unrealistic expectations and trying to do it all. She gives useful tips on changing both your mindset and your schedule.
Question: I'm seriously overwhelmed and discouraged. No matter how hard I work, the list of all the things I'm not doing or not doing good enough is longer than the list of things I do. I feel like I'm failing and can't see light at the end of the tunnel. There are just not enough hours in the day, and I'm tired of feeling like a failure. Any advice for me? Answer: You are not alone on this one. When you have internal pressure to be perfect along with unrealistic expectations about what you need to accomplish, discouragement, depression and low self-esteem are inevitable. Perfect isn't possible, and you simply can't do it all. Here are some suggestions that might help: Make a list of everything you want to accomplish in a week and also write down how much time each of those tasks takes. Then start plugging those into a calendar and see how unrealistic your list is. Are there enough hours in a day to do everything you think you have to do? Go through the list and figure out what are your top priorities. What could you drop out or get out of? You can't do it all. It is time to take some tasks off your plate (I will explain how you do this without guilt below). Some things may need to wait for a different season of your life. Most of our suffering comes from our expectations of what things "should" look like. This expectation is something you made up or accepted as fact in your own head. This means you have the power to change your mind and you must change it. You must lower your standards a little and know your value will be the same. (Remember your value is infinite and absolute and doesn't change based on how much you do.) Life is a classroom, not a test, so dropping some things (so you can have more peace and joy) won't affect your value. I believe you are better off doing less, but doing it with joy and peace. (Don't be lazy and drift through life, of course, just be realistic about what is enough.) Don't work off a "To Do List." These kind of lists will overwhelm you. While you are working on one thing, you feel like everything on the list is hanging over your head too. Instead, plug tasks into a calendar (employing actual time management) on the day and time you are going to do them. Then you only have to worry about one thing at a time. Don't try to multitask. Doing numerous things at once means doing none of them well, and it creates added stress. Instead, set aside time to focus on one thing and then later the other. I used to try to cook while helping kids with homework. All this created was unhappy kids and a burned dinner. Plan your schedule to focus on one thing at a time. Make sure you plan "Self Care Time" and block it out on your schedule every week. If you don't do this, you will soon have nothing left to give. You will also start to resent your family because your needs aren't met. Set aside time to take care of your physical, mental and spiritual health. Make all of these a priority. Don't feel guilty or selfish doing them, either - you are teaching your children to value themselves. You are also taking care of yourself so you have more to give them. Love your neighbor as yourself, not "instead" of yourself. Set aside a few minutes a day for quiet time and meditate or pray. Learning to calm yourself and focus on gratitude does you wonders. Forgive yourself quickly for all the things you don't get done - because for some reason this day was your perfect journey today. Learn the lessons it can teach you and possibly do things different next time, but don't waste one minute in regret, guilt or shame - they don't serve you or anyone else in any way. Guilt, shame and regret are fear over something you can't change. Make a policy against dwelling there. Check yourself to make sure you aren't using being overwhelmed as an excuse to get out of things as a way to get sympathy love, or to make you feel validated for what a hard worker you are. You could be subconsciously choosing to stay overwhelmed if it's benefiting you to stay there. Take stock of what feeling overwhelmed is costing you, too. See if you wouldn't respect yourself more for being strong, peaceful and calm instead. Remember that you control the weather inside your head. Feeling overwhelmed is a choice. You can choose to feel safe, good enough and happy if you want to. Stop comparing yourself with others. No one else on this planet got signed up for the same classes here (in life) as you did. This means that you can never compare yourself with anyone else. This may mean getting off Pinterest or other social media if they trigger your tendency to compare. Remember that your value is the same no matter what other people do. Be flexible. Life is going to throw challenges, bumps and U-turns at you. Don't get bent out of shape when your plans get turned upside down. Roll with it. Trust the process of life. There is divine order in the universe, and your life is no exception. Trust that whatever comes, it is there to serve you in some way. Trusting life at this level will bring much more peace. Choose joy. You have the power to choose your attitude in every moment. We learned this from Viktor Frankl, who was a prisoner in the concentration camps during World War II. If he could choose an attitude of trust and love in his situation, you can too. It may take some practice, though. You have the power to fight the fears of inadequacy and failure that show up in your head. They are just thoughts (that come from your voice of fear, ego side). You have the power to tell that voice to shut up and consciously choose to feel safe and good enough right now. This is the part I can't do for you, though. You alone have the power to determine how you will feel moment by moment. Napoleon Hill (author of "Outwitting the Devil") said, "Human being are given complete control over nothing save the power to think their own thoughts." I believe this is truth. When everything else feels out of control, you can control your thoughts. You can choose to feel peaceful, unburdened, safe, loved, valued and good enough. You also should work on your time management skills and get more organized, but without control over your fear-based thoughts that won't be enough. You must choose your way out of fear. You might want to seek out a professional to help you learn how. Keep working on these principles and you can do it!%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D162265%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E

AUSPICIOUS my debut at Time was not.
In 1981, I started working in the Washington bureau of the newsmagazine famously mocked by The New Yorker's Wolcott Gibbs for its inverted Homeric style. "Backward ran sentences until reeled the mind," Gibbs satirized. "Where it all will end, knows God!"
I thought my first Monday morning story conference would be my last. The bureau chief wanted to see how we felt about the prospect of a Time cover on salt. He called on me first.
"My mom puts salt on everything," I replied. "She's not worried about it."
A veteran reporter across the table looked at me scornfully. "He's talking about SALT II," she sneered, referring to the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty between the U.S. and the Soviets.
I cringed. But to my astonishment, the bureau chief corrected my tormentor. "No," he said, "I'm talking about table salt."
That's the kind of place Time was. One week, the Ayatollah Khomeini was the villain on the cover, the next week, Salt the Killer. One week, you worked on Qaddafi hit squads; the next, cats. (I got a byline on the cat cover for a penetrating interview with a cat psychologist named Fox who did Swedish massages on Burmese felines.)
"Father Time," Henry Luce, wanted everything in his magazine to be either "epic" or "titillating trivialities." Luce and his fellow Yalies started Time in 1923 with a breezy tone, snazzy adjectives and the promise to keep "busy men" informed, concisely.
Headlines about Time Warner's breakup with Time Inc. sent me into a reverie about my salad days in Time's glory days. In "The American Century," as Luce dubbed it, nabbing the cover of Time was the most coveted honor in our culture. Now the humbled magazine, bleeding ad revenue like the rest of print media, is facing a future, as The New York Post's Keith Kelly put it, "untethered from the Time Warner mother ship," which prefers to focus on its two better-performing children, TV and film.
After my stint in Washington, Time moved me to the New York headquarters, with its "Mad Men" aura of whisky, cigarettes, four-hour sodden lunches and illicit liaisons. (Partake of which, unfortunately, I did not.) The researchers, a largely female staff, were referred to as "the vestal virgins." To paraphrase Samuel Johnson, a woman's writing about national affairs was like a dog's walking on its hind legs; that we could do it at all was seen by some older editors as surprising.
On Friday nights, when the magazine was going to bed, there were sumptuous platters of roast beef rolled in, and bars in editors' offices.
Sometimes you'd go in a senior writer's office as the drinking wore on and just see two feet sticking out from under the desk, like the scene in "The Wizard of Oz" when the house falls on the witch.
It was a plummy time when a top editor could arrive in Paris and think nothing of sending a staffer from Paris to London to fetch a necktie he had left in his hotel room, or of sending a minion flying off to fetch a box of his favorite cigars, or of having articles about the Nicaraguan contras flown to his Martha's Vineyard house so he could make sure the political tilt was right.
Mere writers got to expense dial-a-cabs out to the Hamptons after working late Fridays, at $150 a pop; and people rarely shared, snaking out to Sag Harbor in a pampered convoy.
Even then, it struck me that newsmagazines were doomed, with the strange bifurcation of reporters who were not allowed to write and writers who were not allowed to report. I reckoned the genre had a few years at most. When Time named the computer the Machine of the Year for 1982, we were still writing on typewriters.
A Time cover does not mean the same thing in a world of pure media entropy. Now, if something hits, it hits; if it doesn't, there's another thing coming along in a minute, somewhere else.
Journalism, spooked by rumors of its own obsolescence, has stopped believing in itself. Groans of doom alternate with panicked happy talk.
Before this sends yet another shudder through the media establishment, remember this: It may be a funeral for the Henry Luce era, but it's not a funeral for us. We can't wear black crepe every time someone prefers to read on a tablet; we can't be like the auto industry and the G.O.P., who got accustomed to waiting around for it to be 1965 again.
It will be good if this moment provokes a reckoning about what really needs to be preserved in the culture, about what is valuable.
Many content providers and managers — formerly known as reporters and editors — have stopped believing in their own value and necessity. But the gatekeepers in the content class have to understand the world in which we're living and wield their judgment.
Digital platforms are worthless without content. They're shiny sacks with bells and whistles, but without content, they're empty sacks.
It is not about pixels versus print. It is not about how you're reading. It is about what you're reading.

Odd story...
My Gothic adventure started with part 2. When I discovered it I cursed myself for not playing the original when it came out, I somehow could never find the spare time to pick it up. I played G2 to death and I mean that. It was the only game for at least 6 months originally and then came back to it a few more times and finished it countless times. The soundtrack was amazing and the quests seemed really balanced giving me the challenge I always wanted from a fantasy game. Stage Enter Gothic3... When I first got this game I played vanilla unpatched and funny enough i did not get any bugs until I finished Myrtana and got my savegames corrupted. That made me quit originally. Going back in time now and reading about all these bugs I have no idea how I was able to play so long without having issues, amazing. Second time was with an early community patch and I made it as far as Nordmar but I lost interest somehow, not sure why. Now, all these years later I picked it up again and I cannot play it. I'm hit with a freezing bug ingame that seems to happen in specific areas, ie near vengard and also in the cave complex at Reddock. What I have to do in these areas is edge very slowly and not make sudden camera movements, it will get very choppy and freeze for a few seconds but it will eventually come free. If I don't do that it can permanently freeze. The second bug is the game crashing during loading a savegame with a message "Genome game system has stopped working". This usually happens after a few times reloading but sometimes it can happen during the first load. I have searched around for 2 days trying to find a solution to this and so far I did not find one. I tried many things relating to memory but most threads are 6-4 years old on this and it seems this problem has been solved.
My set up
Gothic 3 EE with CP 1.75.14
Questpak 4 with update 2
Installed all contents of these patches/mods including textures
my rig
win 7
gf 460
4 gig ram
phenom II at 3.2GH
I get stuttering, really bad stuttering all over the place but especially when entering new areas. Other than that the game runs at 60-90fps. To be honest I don't remember it running so badly when I was playing before. But like it is with all past loves, I might be biased. I have already liberated Cape Dun so I have played a bit, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas and can help me trying something on the version I am currently playing and any help would be really appreciated.

I'm on my home from the latest workshop by my coach Steve Harrison. Had a chance to meet Jack Canfield, author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books. Wow, what an amazing experience.
It was an interesting experience learning how better to serve people through writing and coaching against the backdrop of the Ray Rice story. My understanding is that abusive people were themselves abused. It is my hope that this incident can help Mr. Rice break the cycle of abuse, both for himself and for others.
I watched the video. It was very disturbing. If you haven't seen it, I think you should watch it Ray Rice Knocked Out Fiancee – FULL VIDEO. It will change your understanding of domestic violence forever. It won't be theoretical, and it won't be Hollywood. It is brutal. Watching the video could help you change someone's life some day. You might hear a whisper, or notice something in someone you know, and instead of brushing it off, you'll remember that image of Jinay getting knocked unconscious.
As for why the NFL and the Ravens gave Rice a slap on the wrist before the video came to light? I am befuddled by the handwringing. The NFL is a business. Ray Rice is the product. The domestic violence wasn't seen as a human issue, it was a business issue. Rice was a product with some characteristics that would make some customers mad.
I've been in those discussions. The product isn't working quite right. Should we ship?
"No product is ever done."
"There is a work around."
"We need the revenue now, and will pick up the pieces later."
Right or wrong does not come into play when it comes to these product shipment decisions. They are business decisions. In the case of the NFL, the products are people. We need to remember to put people first, always.
As I write this post on the plane, I watched an inspirational speech from James Brown, football host on CBS. Brown explained that domestic violence is not a football issue, and is not a woman's issue. He pointed out that 3 women die every day from domestic violence, and called on men to step up and take responsibility. "You need to either get help [for yourself] or give help [to end domestic violence.]
Bravo James Brown. Real men do not hurt women, and we'll take your challenge to become part of the solution.

Cena, Smackdown earn Bragging Rights
By MATT BISHOP - SLAM! Wrestling
It was a fight for brand supremacy Sunday as WWE presented its first-ever Bragging Rights pay-per-view. While the show was focused around the 7-on-7 battle between Raw and Smackdown, only a trophy was on the line there. Instead, it was the 60-minute Iron Man Match between Randy Orton and John Cena for the WWE Championship that stole the show, as Cena won the decisive fall in the final seconds to reclaim the title.
Emanating from Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh, Pa., Bragging Rights saw Smackdown flex its muscles as the top brand in World Wrestling Entertainment, winning 2-of-3 intrabrand matches.
The main event Iron Man Match was hot from the start and well-paced to keep both the fans in the arena and at home into the contest.
After a feeling out process, Cena locks in the STF about four minutes into the match and Orton quickly taps. 1-0 Cena - 56 minutes left
But after dropping the first fall, Orton quickly rebounds taking it to Cena. We get out first Orton chinlock of the night and this one is about a Level 4. He's really wearing Cena out with this one. Cena finally breaks the hold and hits the Throwback. He goes to the top and hits the flying legdrop and calls for the Five Knuckle Shuffle, but Orton pops up and hits the RKO out of nowhere. Tied 1-1 - 51 minutes to go
Right after the 30 second rest period, Orton shoves Cena off the apron and into the barricade. Orton stays outside and takes Cena to the announce table. He grabs a monitor and lines Cena up for a shot to the "SKULL!" as Cole would say. Orton covers but Cena kicks out. They go back in the ring and Orton belts Cena with the microphone. Covers for two. Cena is bleeding and the doctor comes out and the referee wants it to be checked but Cena is having none of it and charges Orton and tosses him over the top rope. He bangs Orton's head into the steps but Orton returns the favor for a two count. He then stomps Cena's head into the steps but he kicks out again.
Back in the ring, Orton starts slapping and pounding the mat, calling for the RKO. He goes for it but Cena pushes him off and hits a vintage shoulderblock and the side slam. Five knuckle shuffle time again and this time he connects. Cena hits the Attitude Adjustment but Orton counters into a reverse RKO while in the air. They land arms across each other, so the referee counts them both down. Tied 2-2 - 43 minutes go
The doctors come in to tend to Cena during the rest period to clear the blood. Orton posts himself while charing Cena. Lawler speculates that the doctors glued Cena's head shut. To the top rope and Cena hits an Attitude Adjustment from the top. Cena is slow to cover but still gets it. 3-2 Cena - 40 minutes to go
During the rest period, Legacy comes out and attacks Cena. DiBiase hits Dream Street. They pull Orton onto Cena for the fall. Tied 3-3 - 39 minutes to go
During the rest period, Kingston runs in with a chair and chases Legacy off.
They brawl on the outside with Cena taking it to Orton, but Orton takes control by bouncing Cena's head off the guard rial. They battle by the technical equipment. Orton bangs Cena's head off a board that sets off stage pyro that makes pretty much everybody soil themselves. Orton then puts Cena through part of the set, making for some sparks. Orton covers the lifeless Cena. 4-3 Orton - 35 minutes to go
Orton goes back to the pyro board and start randomly hitting buttons when a light bulb goes off. He puts Cena on the stage and hits a one man Conchairto on Cena and then drags him into the middle of the stage and goes back to the pyro board. Orton hits a button but it doesn't work. He tries again, no response. He then bangs the board and some goes off, but Cena had rolled to the other side of the stage. Orton is angry. Then come back down to the ringside area.
Orton is decimating Cena. Orton grabs the steps and throws them and hits Cena in the skull. Orton grabs a chair and hits Cena in the back while he's up against the post. Cena kicks out of the pin at two. Back in the ring, Cena rolls Orton up out of nowhere. Tied 4-4 - 27 minutes left
Orton attacks Cena during the rest period and then backs off. He then drapes Cena over the apron and gives him the falling DDT onto the floor. He covers and gets a fall. 5-4 Orton - 25 minutes to go
Orton methodically picking Cena apart. Cena ducks a clothesline and hits Orton. Orton takes a walk up the ramp. Cena eventually goes to the top of the ramp and Cena walks right into an attack. Orton walks back into the ring and Cena walks from the top of the ramp. Cena slides into the ring and Orton jumps him and goes to work on the skull of Cena with closed fists. Orton sets up the second rope DDT but Cena gets out and lifts Orton for the Attitude Adjustment but Orton elbows his way out and heads into the crowd. They lose them and when they find them Cena is taking it to the champion with 16 minutes to go. Cena works it back toward the ring but still in the crowd. A stiff right lands for Cena. Cena makes a cover on the floor but Orton kicks out. Cena pounds Orton into the ring steps for another two count. Orton into the guardrail. Cena really working Orton over, throwing him through the barricade around the timekeeper. Cena goes and grabs the bottom ring step and sets it up next to the announce table. He picks up the top step and returns the favor, smashing them into Orton's skull. Cena then stacks the ring steps on top of each other.

The next WWE pay-per-view is Survivor Series on Nov. 22.
After a video package, Michael Cole, Todd Grisham and 2007 WWE Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler welcome us to Bragging Rights. This show is presented in WWEHD (TV-PG,V).
Cole tells us that the brand that wins 2-of-3 Raw vs. Smackdown matches will receive the "Bragging Rights Trophy," a trophy that looks straight out of your local trophy store. They could've, at the very least, recreated the WrestleMania IV battle royal trophy and had the losing team destroy it.
Match #1 - The Miz (Cleveland, Ohio) vs. John Morrison (Los Angeles, Calif.)
Miz takes control and works Morrison's back, but he mule kicks his way out. It doesn't last long as Miz hits a running high knee as Morrison's head hangs over the apron. Miz applies the first of what I'm sure will be many chinlocks tonight.
Morrison out and they start trading body kicks. Morrison ducks a roundhouse kick and sweeps the leg. Leg lariat for Morrison for two. Miz ducks a running kick and school boy's Morrison for two. Morrison hits the springboard high kick but Miz barely gets his foot on the bottom rope. Morrison looks for Starship Pain but Miz rolls out.
Morrison goes for a superplex but Miz punches his way out and hits a double axehandle. He goes for the Skull-Crushing Finale, but Morrison escapes and hits a Russian leg sweep. Morrison again for the Starship Pain but as he goes to springboard, Miz knocks him back, putting Morrison in la la land and picks up the pin.
Winner via pinfall: The Miz
Match rating: 6.5/10
Backstage, Cody Rhodes and R-Truth get into a verbal sparring match when Big Show comes in and tells Truth to hit the bricks.
Match #2 - Michelle McCool (Palatka, Fla.), Beth Phoenix (Buffalo, N.Y.) & Natalya (Calgary, Alberta) vs. Melina (Los Angeles, Calif.), Kelly Kelly (Jacksonville, Fla.) & Gail Kim (Toronto, Ontario)
Kim gets the best of McCool, so McCool scurries to the corner and tag Natalya in. Kim tags Kelly Kelly in to a rather large ovation for an early match tag. Head scissors takedown for Kelly but the momentum is short-lived for Kelly as Natalya picks her up and slams her on the top rope. Kelly is double-teamed in the corner by Phoenix and McCool, but elbows her way out. Natalya comes in but Kelly leaps up and goes for a sunset flip but Natalya holds on to the top rope and brings the pain to Kelly. They have Kelly trapped and are making quick tags.
That ends when Phoenix makes a blind tag. Kelly hits a hurricanrana and tags in Melina. She goes to work and hits a facebuster and hits McCool, but gets distracted. Phoenix goes for a suplex but Melina rolls through. McCool switches the cover but the ref is distracted by Kim on the apron. Melina goes for a pin but it's broken up. It breaks down as Kelly and Kim attack McCool and Natalya and they go outside of the ring. In the melee, Phoenix hits Melina with the Glam Slam.
Winners via pinfall: Beth Phoenix, Michelle McCool & Natalya
Match rating: 5/10

Undertaker and Batista start trading and the crowd goes yay/boo. Batista charges at Undertaker and ends up running right into a chokeslam but Punk breaks the pin. Now Punk and Taker going at it. Punk kicks his way out of a chokeslam. He charges at Taker again but Taker throws him out of the ring and calls for the Tombstone on Batista.

Smith works Michaels for a minute and tags in Jericho.
Kingston goes to the top rope to take out Jericho and show says he'll help him. Instead, he chokeslams Kingston off the top rope and hits the knockout punch on Triple H, who came to make the save. Jericho then makes the cover on Kingston.

Repsol's move raises questions about Cuba offshore oil drilling
Spain's Repsol oil company announced Tuesday it was "almost certain" to withdraw from exploration in Cuba, after spending an estimated $150 million on a dry well and seeing far more profitable prospects in other countries such as Brazil and Angola.
The announcement was a blow to Cuba's hopes to strike it rich quickly, jump-start its stagnant economy and trim its dependence on Venezuelan subsidies, although another foreign company is currently drilling a separate test well and others have options to follow.
"We won't do another well" in Cuba, Repsol Chairman Antonio Brufau said in presenting the company's 2012-16 business strategy at a news conference in Madrid on Tuesday. "The well we drilled turned out dry and it's almost certain that we won't do any more activity there."
Repsol spent about $150 million since 2000 exploring off Cuba's northern coast near Havana, with one well in 2004 that did not find oil "in commercial quantities" and one this year that was dry, said Jorge Piñón, a longtime Cuba oil analyst with the University of Texas.
Its combine with Statoil of Norway and ONGC of India also has an option to drill a third well later this year but clearly felt its money would be better spent in other countries with more profitable opportunities, Piñón told El Nuevo Herald.
"If you had $100 in your pocket, and I offer you Cuba, Brazil or Angola, which one would you take?" he said. "There are many other places around the world much more attractive to exploration."
Piñón said the two bad wells are not realistic indications of whether Cuba in fact has crude deposits off its northern coast. The U.S. Geological Service has estimated the area has five billion barrels of crude, while Cuban officials have put the figure at 20 billion barrels.
But Repsol's withdrawal raised the critical question of how offshore exploration in Cuba can continue when only one platform in the world, Scarabeo-9, can operate there. The platform was built in Asia with less than 10 percent of U.S. equipment to sidestep Washington's embargo on the communist government.
"As someone once said, Cuba's problem is that Scarabeo-9 is the only shovel with which Cuba can dig for its possible oil treasures," Piñón said.
Repsol confirmed earlier this month that it hit a dry hole with its first use of the semi-submersible Scarabeo-9 platform. Just days later, it took two more blows when the Argentine government seized its YPF branch — and Cuba applauded the nationalization.
Cuba did not receive any of the money spent by Repsol on exploration for its two wells, other than perhaps some Havana office costs, Piñón noted. Companies that carry out such explorations bear the costs, in hopes of making their back if they hit oil and develop production fields.
Scarabeo-9 started drilling a new well about 110 miles to the west of Repsol's under contract to a combine made up of Petronas of Malaysia and Gazprom-Neft of Russia. That well is expected to take four to five months and if it hits oil it could quickly brighten Cuba's oil future.
If not, Piñón added, further exploration in Cuban waters could suffer some significant delays.
Repsol has an option to use Scarabeo-9 to drill another well after the Petronas-Gazprom exploration. Its decision to leave Cuba means it will drop that option, and raises the question of which company would then lease the platform, at a cost of about $150,000 a day.
There have been unconfirmed reports that Venezuela's PDVSA and Angol of Angola have options to hire the platform after Repsol to drill in Cuban waters, Piñón noted. Any other company also can step in, or the platform's Italian owners could drill in Cuba for themselves.
But a Petronas-Gazprom failure to find oil now could mean a long delay in future explorations because Scarabeo-9 could be leased to drill in more profitable areas like Brazil or the Gulf of Mexico, Piñón added. Brazil's Petrobras oil company surrendered its contract to explore in Cuba last year after massive reserves were found off its own Atlantic coast.
For now, Cuba will have to continue hoping for an oil strike while depending on the estimated $3 billion in oil subsidies from leftist Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, who suffers from cancer and faces an election in October.
Venezuela now sends an estimated 110,000 barrels a day to Cuba, in part for use on the domestic market and in part for refining in the south-central city of Cienfuegos and later export to several nations in the Caribbean.
Any delays in finding oil in Cuban waters, however, will likely ease, at least for a time, fears that a spill could send plumes of crude riding north on the Gulf current to foul the Florida Straits, the Florida Keys and the East Coast of the United States.
Repsol's dry well was in water deeper than BP's Deepwater Horizon, the source of the catastrophic spill in the Gulf of Mexico two years ago. The well being drilled now has been reported to be in even deeper water.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
A group persona is a character created by a group of students. Usually, this character is based on a person who appears in the reading that the group has examined, but the character can also be based on a person who appears in a painting or photo. In any case, the persona created by the group is reflective of a value system and a set of historical circumstances that the group has studied together.
During a "tea party," each class member acts out the persona created in his or her group, and then, while still in character, all the class members mingle and meet the other personae. They can then compare their experiences in a creative, free-form way.
Teachers should begin by dividing the class into groups of four or five and giving each group a different text to study. The text can be an essay, a poem, a chapter from a novel, or any articulation of an individual's cultural experience. It's important, however, to choose texts that give students a strong impression of both an individual author and his or her cultural milieu. That way, students can better understand how an individual can be part of a community while working to change it. (Students should be reminded that acting a part only provides an imaginative glimpse of another's life; this exercise should lead students to develop further questions about the character's cultural milieu.)
Once students have read their texts, they should note the qualities of the text's author and explore how these qualities either support or subvert the author's cultural norms. They should try to imagine the way the author might behave in his or her daily life. In order to crystallize these impressions, teachers should ask each group to summarize what their author is trying to say. Then, each group can write a paragraph or poem in the voice of the author they have imagined, expressing the author's concerns about a particular cultural issue.
Finally, the teacher should ask each student to assume the identity of the author his or her group has studied. The teacher should then reorganize the class into new groups, each containing one student from each of the previous groups so that the "authors" can interact with one another. While acting out these identities, students mingle with their classmates in a "tea party" situation: They can introduce themselves, in character, to members of the group and try to find common interests. It may be useful for the teacher to act as "host" in this situation, introducing students to one another or suggesting topics of conversation. Teachers should then lead a class discussion in which students reflect on their experiences. (If teachers want students to articulate their impressions of this exercise in written form, they can ask students to write a thank-you note in the voice of the persona he or she has assumed. The student might reflect on how his or her persona would have reacted to the various characters he or she met, noting which other "tea party" guest -- or character -- he or she most enjoyed meeting.)
By creating a persona, or character, students learn to humanize and relate to the people whose cultural experiences they're studying. They recognize how cultural and historical circumstances impact personal lives. But students also recognize how all communities are made up of numerous individuals, individuals like themselves, who have the power to change cultural practices. When students mingle and meet other personae, they recognize how much individuals from different communities have in common.

The earliest drawing dates from nearly 230 years ago and is by Joseph Farringdon who was a topographical artist known for his series of British views and monuments who visited the town in 1790 and drew the Parish Church. Also included is the little known artist John Evans who made a series of pictures of the town between 1803 and 1825. His pen and wash scenes of the market and church have an almost surrealist touch created by his use of grey and white using pen and wash and his often out of scale figures. The gallery is especially thrilled to be borrowing from Corinium Museum a series of bold expressive drawings created in 1814 by the well known artist Jean Claude Nattes best- known for his views of Great Britain.
The exhibition is brought up to date by a pencil and crayon drawing of Cirencester Church made in 1947 by Richard Adler a German prisoner of war at Siddingtion Hall. There are also some drawings from 2012 by Cirencester artist Laurie Plant showing more un-usual scenes as they show his intriguing take on modern buildings in the town, the Library and St James Place.

The Ship Code
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
Many ships are supplementing the Venturing Code and Sea Promise with ship codes of their own, statements of ideals and conduct developed and approved by the ships' members. Each ship code is different and meets the needs of the individual members involved.
Contents of the Code
As you discuss and decide what goes into your ship code, keep in mind that in addition to supplementing the Sea Promise, your ship code should express
- The means of upholding your ship's reputation and traditions
- What the members consider important as a group
- The reason for their association in the ship
- Ideas that describe the ship's purpose
- A standard or goal for self-improvement
- A measure of performance or progress
Developing a Code
Everyone in the ship should share responsibilities in this project since everyone is expected to subscribe to the results. One way to develop a ship code is to devote an entire meeting to it. Brainstorm about what ought to go into it.
Following this discussion, the ship's petty officers or a committee appointed by the Skipper can put everyone's ideas into a form that can be considered, corrected, and approved by the membership.
Revising the Code
The ship code should be reconsidered and necessary revisions made at least once each year. A convenient way to schedule this is to make it a part of the annual ship charter renewal. However, a ship code may be revised as often as the majority of the members wish.
The Use of Your Ship Code
The ship code, like the Sea Promise, becomes a part of the admission ceremony. New members are asked to subscribe to it as they sign the ship's log to gain official membership.

Lamar TALH students help build wheel-chair accessible home for child with cerebral palsy
Lamar Texas Academy for Leadership in the Humanities (TALH) students volunteered their time Saturday, Jan. 26, to a Habitat for Humanity project in Port Arthur.
"The house is for a woman named Pearl Harmon and her 10-year-old daughter, Faith," said Uliana Trylowsky, executive director of Habitat for Humanity of Jefferson County. "Faith suffers from cerebral palsy and is wheelchair bound. The house that we're building is completely wheelchair accessible."
Savannah Layfield, a 16-year-old Lamar freshman from Lumberton, said that her favorite part of helping out with the project was the chance to work side by side with Pearl.
"She's a very nice lady," Layfield said. "It was very touching to get to talk to her about (Faith). To know you are doing it for a good cause and to see it directly influence a person's life is rewarding. (Pearl) said that it was amazing that she got the house because there are like 300 people on the waiting list. Her and her daughter will have a place to live, and I think that's awesome."
Lamar freshmen Ryan Huff, 17, of Singleton, Texas, and 16-year-old Ashleigh Ray of Rowlett, Texas, also helped out with the project.
"It's a new service project," Huff said. "Every fourth Sunday of the month we can go (and work on the house.)"
Huff said that she chose to volunteer for Habitat because she believes it is one of the most impactful service projects available.
"I really enjoyed working beside (Pearl) and getting to see her so excited about the house," she said. "That was something that was really invigorating."
Although she never thought she would like labor, Huff said the experience was fun.
"You're working with all these people and you're getting to know them and getting to know the people you're building the house for," she said.
Ray said that there were other reasons for volunteering besides receiving service hours and hanging out with friends.
"I thought it would be a good opportunity for me to do something that would actually impact someone else," she said. "No other program has the impact on someone who is in so much need, and it's just awesome to be able to pick up a hammer and see how all the work you're putting into this project is going to better help someone else."
"Central to TALH's identity is service," said Scott Stevenson, assistant director of TALH. "It's hard to imagine not having a home and to be able to provide a service that concludes with (the beneficiary) getting a home — it's a remarkable experience to witness."
All three students said they plan to continue to work with Habitat for Humanity in the future.

There should be literally thousands of REAL videos and photographs of the towers from that day.
I am particularly curious about the ferry boat which can be seen passing the towers as the JPEG plane glides into the second tower. It is a good bet that most of the passengers were tourists, and tourists would likely have been looking at the twin towers and most likely many of them would have had cameras pointed at them. They would be ideal witnesses to confirm (for those who need to hear it from witnesses) that there was no plane. Where are they, and where are their photos and videos...

I', a romanian, now working in constructions in Germany, so please excuse my not so good english. I always beleived the whole thing is veeeeery fishy but i haven't really thought about it much since it happened.
But now you created a brand new hobby for me: photo-detective! :-)) So, attashed here is my first try, with a photo i saw here in this thread and wich immediately struck my eyes with its failures :-).
Note: i'm don't have anything to do with this kind of work-media, photography, editing etc etc- so i hope you'll excuse my poor skills on this one, i've done it all in Paint, because Paint is understandable and usuable for me ))
For a better view, i think, you have to zoom in into the picture to see what i wrote there.
Hm, how do I upload/attach a photo here? i drew/wrote on the photo in Paint so it's not the same anymore as it appears on it's website...please help and sorry again, i don't know this kind of stuff.

what do you think?
How can this fireman have a shadow in a shaded area...unless there were 2 suns shining in New York that day ?
Now, some have argued that this shadow is possible: as the argument goes, the pink Post Office buiding across the street reflects / bounces off enough light to produce that shadow. Now, just to get a better view of the Lispenard st/Church st intersection, here are two Google Earth images - evidently captured on a sunny Manhattan morning (reasonably similar to the morning of September 11, 2001) :
Now, does this girl project a shadow - in her shaded area? ( "X" is the location of the fireman in the Naudet video)

there are (as usual) pretty weird shadows in it.

Based on the writings and lectures of Rudolf Steiner, this form of agriculture intends to produce fruit, vegetables and grains (in fact, all products of a farm including animals) by using the natural rhythms of the land and treating the farm like one living organism. It's all explained here.
I think the interest in BioD is a natural progression of an agricultural community that is trying to be more of a land steward than a land 'user'. Words like 'green' and 'sustainable' pepper the media these days when talking about any innovative agricultural movement. Marketers are well aware that a few key words will engage a public becoming more convinced that their trip to the supermarket can be their contribution to saving the world.
Does Biodynamic farming produce better grapes? I didn't know. And I still don't.
To find out a little more I helped organize a field trip to Washington State to meet with renowned biodynamic vineyard consultant Philippe Armenier . Mr. Armenier generously donated some of his time in between consultations with his Washington and Oregon clients. Our group consisted of about 15 winemakers, growers, resellers, winery owners and some enthused members of the wine drinking public. We travelled first to the Tri-Cities area and then to the Walla Walla valley to view the vineyards, walk the land and taste the wines.
On Monday, June 28th, we travelled first to the Red Mountain AVA (American Viticultural Area) where we visited Hedges Cellars. About 40 acres there is dedicated to biodynamic practices. Vineyard manager John Gomez introduced us to the property and gave his impressions on what the effects of biodynamic practices were. As a winemaker, I was interested to hear that the Hedges wine making team had nothing bad to say about the biodynamic fruit in comparison to what they grew by conventional methods. Gomez passed that tidbit on as well as his assertion that he "thinks a small portion of biodynamic vineyard out of the total acreage is a good thing". He admitted to being skeptical at first, but now in year three, he was ready to accept that it was a good way to grow grapes. Hedges was already pretty 'green': no herbicides had ever been used in the vineyard. He seemed to enjoy the fact that he was presiding over an on-going experiment. He did lament that he couldn't devote more time to it.
Out in the vineyards, we learned from Mr. Armenier how biodynamic practices encouraged a link between the plant and the soil and supernatural forces that are in all living things. It's about bringing balance to the vineyard through the use of preparations and treatments that perform certain tasks to enhance the agriculture. Emphasis was placed on allowing three years to pass before the BioDy effects begin to show.
We tasted the tendrils of growing vines, first from the BioDy and then from the neighbour's conventionally grown vines. I've never tasted tendrils before. They were sharply acidic, tangy and sour. Some of our group professed a fondness for the BioDy tendrils. I felt they were equally unpleasant. The BioDy tendrils seemed more like unripe apples. The conventional tendrils seemed earthier or more tannic. I hope I never chew either again. Frankly, I find it quite doubtful that the taste of a tendril in June has anything to do with a grape in October. It's about as accurate as gnawing on the hoof of a cow and then surmising what the rib eye will taste like. More about cow later.
In many vineyards there is an attempt to mulch or compost vine and waste grape material back into the vineyard. There are recognized obstacles to this, not the least of which is making sure the pH of the waste material is compatible with good soil conditions. For that reason, it's important to compost and balance any soil augmentation materials heading into the vineyard. Mr. Armenier's thoughts on this practice are clear. Under his BioDy protocols, no grape waste is returned to the vineyard. In the Hedges' compost we saw only earth, manure and straw. Suffice to say, the post fermentation grape waste created more problems than it was worth. In addition, it was suggested the living vines may somehow sense the return of the now 'dead' grapes and certain 'feelings' of remorse may be experienced by the vines at the arrival of their offspring's wasted remains.
We concluded our visit to Hedges with a marvelous light lunch served to us on the front patio of the chateau with a couple of the Hedges family in attendance. I had the opportunity to demonstrate my cherry pit spitting prowess.During the afternoon our group split into several smaller expeditions. Our pack traveled to Pacific Rim in West Richland. If you're not familiar with this Randall Grahm project, they do a lot of riesling. And virtually no red. Which is odd considering they're in sight of the Red Mountain AVA, famous for great reds. This state of the art facility is jaw-droppingly awesome in so many ways. Sophisticated yet basic, tech-driven but true to wine making art. From a winemaker's perspective, it's a great facility and the wines are remarkable at every level.
We overnighted in Walla Walla and included a group dinner at Whitehouse Crawford. Much of what we saw and heard that day help fuel some lively conversation. From my observation it was clear that people were beginning to fall into two camps: those who were increasingly skeptical about biodynamic practices and those who were becoming more enamored of this new agricultural method. I use the word 'new' because that aspect was stressed on several occasions. Having only been developed since 1924, the biodynamic method is relatively new when compared to other forms of agricultural practice.
Next day it was time to visit Cayuse Vineyards. Just across the Oregon state line but still in the Walla Walla Valley, Christophe Baron (the gentleman at left) has created stunning results from land most would have viewed as wasteland. And he's done it biodynamically. The wines he creates are formidable and exclusive. They're pretty much 'cult' status; available through a futures program by way of a (full) mailing list.
At Cayuse we were able to see a greater portion of the biodynamic farm functioning. Draft horses, used to tend the vines, grazed in a nearby field. Pigs, cows, rabbits, fowl and enormous compost heaps all had their place. It began to look less like the monoculture vineyards we're accustomed to seeing and more like a farm from the old days. Everything had a distinct yet co-dependent role in the biodiversity of the property.
We were also treated to a viewing of the horn pit. Cow horns are stuffed with manure and left buried on the property for a period of time. The composted material that results is then used in one of the biodynamic preparations. There are many preparations or treatments. Their use is strictly dictated by the biodynamic code and the timing of certain astrological incidents that allow full use of the cosmic powers around us.
Preparing these treatments is a structured activity. In fact, at Cayuse, a specialized device consisting of two copper cylinders is used. Like two old open washer machines, the contents are agitated and stirred with unique paddles as instructed by a programmable logic control (PLC). With the PLC, the contents are stirred first one way for a set time and then reversed. Mr. Baron and Mr.Armenier set up the device and filled the tubs with water to demonstrate it for us. Although no actual preparation was involved, Mr. Armenier asked many of the group to touch the water that was being stirred, noting that "it was no longer just water, it changes into something else".We concluded our visit with another beautifully catered lunch, presented in the Cayuse cellar, joined by standout Cayuse wines and consumed on the sunny crush pad.
In the cellar, hovering above the centre of the room 5 meters above our heads was a giant paper mache pig. Strapped to the pig was a cartoonish rocket. Little wings also adorned the pig, which was painted in many colours and designs. The pig seemed to be a symbol for something. That against all odds and popular wisdom, it would appear that a pig could fly (with a little help). The same pig in a slightly modified form adorns one of the Cayuse labels.As our time with Mr. Armenier drew to a close over lunch, I found myself suddenly aware of who might find biodynamic agriculture an attractive route. Is biodynamic right for you? The answer, in part, is perhaps.
If you're comfortable with the spiritual, if you're open-minded about the world around you and the possibility of the supernatural, you're going to love biodynamic agriculture. Acceptance, or surrender, to the rules of biodynamics means you don't have to rely on science anymore. You can follow the biodynamic way and know truths about how the universe and the world functions in the cyclical pattern of seasons. Life forces, unexplainable and defying examination, inhabit the ground, the air and living things. BioDy will allow you to make all of this work in harmony.
In this way, biodynmics differs little from various religions and other dogmatic, faith-based movements. A certain degree of acceptance is required. It's all about linking the soil, the place, the animals and the cosmos and using their life forces to create what we need. It's about trust and taking the leap.
Like to know more?
There's a forum thread here at Wine Beserkers that makes for some stimulating reading as forces on both side of the issue duke it out. Included are many interesting links supplied by Brigitte Armenier, Philippe's wife.
Here's how Valeria Tait, one of our participants on the Washington road trip, summarized her experience.

Keyboards are hard to clean. They've always been a pain to neat freaks–but the good news is that they won't always be. Not with Logitech's Washable Keyboard K310, that is, which now allows users to clean their keyboards thoroughly, from the usual light dusting to an actual quick rinse under the tap.
"Using" a computer is practically synonymous to "typing." That said, you can expect your keyboard to get understandably grimy and filthy after several months of use, most especially if you're the type to munch on snacks while you work. Spritzing your keyboard with alcohol and wiping it afterwards isn't enough to get all the dirt that's trapped in all the nooks and crannies on your keyboard, which is why the K310 must be a godsend for slobs and non-slobs alike.
The K310 can be submerged in up to 11 inches of water so you can rinse out all the dust bunnies in the making. The keyboard actually has drainage holes at the back to facilitate the water flow, so the keyboard dries out fully in a couple of hours. Aside from that, you don't have to worry about the characters on the keyboard fading, since they're laser-printed and coated with a UV layer to prevent fading from water damage.
The Logitech K310 will go on sale sometime this month for $39.99, while it makes its debut in Europe this October.

SAN JOSE — The Lick Observatory community is mourning an employee who died Tuesday when his pickup truck rolled down an embankment off Mount Hamilton as he backed out of his driveway.
Gregory Sulger, 54, of San Jose, worked as a senior building maintenance worker at the observatory for the past two years. He lived at a residence that housed 18 other employees who lived and worked at the facility.
"He was not only a dependable, committed worker, Greg was one of those individuals who seemed to like everyone he came in contact with," John Wareham, the observatory's deputy director, said in a written statement.
According to the California Highway Patrol, Sulger was backing out of the residential driveway overlooking Mount Hamilton Road just south of the observatory when, for a reason still being investigated, his truck went over a guardrail and tumbled down a steep embankment. The vehicle landed on its roof on the road below.
Sulger died at the scene. Officer D.J. Sarabia said there was no indication that Sulger was driving impaired, and the death appears to have been a tragic accident.
Wareham remembered Sulger for being the source of whistling and singing along the Mount Hamilton ridge, and said Sulger loved living and working on the mountain.
"His spirit will always be with us here," Wareham wrote.
A memorial for Sulger will be held Dec. 19 at the observatory's main building. More information can be found at ucolick.org.

CSIs ARE SHOCKED WHEN DR. HAWKES IS ARRESTED AFTER BEING IDENTIFIED AS THE PRIME SUSPECT IN THE MURDER OF A BARTENDER, ON A REBROADCAST OF "CSI: NY," WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT
Edward Furlong ("Terminator 2: Judgment Day") Claire Forlani ("Meet Joe Black"), John Kapelos ("The Breakfast Club") And Emmanuelle Vaugier ("Two and a Half Men") Guest Star
"Raising Shane" -- When a bartender is shot in cold blood after a robbery, the CSIs are shocked when the prime suspect is Sheldon Hawkes, on a rebroadcast of CSI: NY, Wednesday, April 4 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Christine Moore directed the episode written by the series' executive story editor Zachary Reiter and Pam Veasey, one of the series' executive producers. (Originally broadcast 11/29/06)
Edward Furlong ("Terminator 2: Judgment Day") guest stars as Shane Casey, a serial killer who escaped justice after being captured by Mac and the team. Claire Forlani ("Meet Joe Black") guest stars in a recurring role as a new medical examiner and Mac Taylor's girlfriend, Dr. Peyton Driscoll. John Kapelos ("The Breakfast Club") guest stars as union attorney Bobby Rossmore, assigned to defend Dr. Hawkes. Emmanuelle Vaugier ("Two and a Half Men") guest stars in a recurring role as CSI detective Jennifer Angell.
The CSIs are floored when Sheldon Hawkes is apprehended during an early morning run as the primary suspect in a bartender's murder. While he maintains his innocence, Mac and the team grow increasingly frustrated when they are removed from the investigation for fear they'll contaminate the evidence. With a mountain of evidence stacked against him, the team works tirelessly on their own to piece together the clues that will hopefully prove Hawkes' innocence. Meanwhile, Danny and Stella investigate what seems to be an overdose, but they realize their routine case may be connected to escaped serial killer Shane Casey.

U.S. House and Senate negotiators have agreed on the 2010 budgets for several large scientific agencies, including the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. While traditionally passed in separate appropriations bills, the NIH and NSF budgets will become part of a large omnibus bill, combining six appropriations bills into one piece of legislation.
While Congress and the president previously had passed five of the 12 bills that traditionally fund the federal government for 2010, the budgets for the NIH and the NSF and 85 percent of federally funded life science research had yet to be finalized. With the publication of the conference committee's report, the House and Senate have paved to way for final passage by both houses of Congress.
According the report, the NIH will be funded at $30.72 billion for 2010. Adding an additional $692 million to the NIH budget, this 2.3 percent funding increase from the previous year is a compromise between the 3.14 percent and 1.47 percent proposed by the House and Senate, respectively.
The NSF will receive a larger relative boost. Negotiators have agreed to increase the NSF budget by 6.7 percent to more than $6.9 billion. The bill's summary also supports the president's initiative to double the funding for basic research at "key agencies," such as the NSF, in 10 years.
Perhaps the most dramatic increase was given to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical and Prosthetics Research program. This program's budget will grow by 13 percent in 2010 to a total of $581 million.
UPDATE: The House and Senate have passed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2010, the large omnibus spending bill that includes budgets for the NIH, NSF and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical and Prosthetics Research program. The final budgets reflect the agreements reached by House and Senate negotiators in early December. The House passed the appropriations act on Dec. 10 and the Senate passed the bill on Dec. 13. The president is expected to sign the legislation before Dec. 18.
