What is this page?
This is a collection guide. It is a description of archival material held in the Special Collections Division,
J.Y. Joyner Library, East Carolina University. The materials described here are physically available in our
reading room. To see what's been digitized in this collection, click on the thumbnail at the top right of this page
or look for hyperlinks in the container list and/or the preliminary inventory.
Early materials (1912-1913) include correspondence pertaining to an imbroglio between Davis and the Naval Academy over coursework and a requirement that he purchase textbooks. Subsequent intervention by political officials further compounded the matter. A miscellaneous file contains the
Organization, Routine, and Orders book for the USS NORTH DAKOTA (1911), also from this period.
During World War I Davis commanded the destroyer JARVIS. Correspondence consists of suggestions on naval duty for forces operating in European waters (July, 1917) and suggestions of the commander of the USS TEXAS based on experience in European waters (May, 1918). Other war-related material consists of war diaries of the JARVIS, based in Queenstown, Ireland (May 7, 1917-March, 1918), which record fuel, provisions, men aboard, weather, position, ships convoyed, convoy dispositions, sailing and operating orders, submarine encounters, and torpedoing of convoy ships. Reports in General Military records, consisting of proceedings of British and American ships in the southern division, list ships, dates, positions, submarine sightings, convoy sinkings, and torpedoings for June and August, 1917. A statistical analysis reports the activities of the USS JARVIS from June 10, 1917, until December 1, 1917.
Other topics covered in the Davis correspondence are the administration of the USS RINGGOLD (1919-1920), the administration of the USS WOODBURY (1922), trials and testing of Mark II compasses by the Sperry Gyroscope Company (1922), recommendation of Davis for additional navigational aids on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts (1922), collision of the USS ZEILIN and HENDERSON (1923), and the loss of the USS WOODBURY by grounding in the Point Pedernales incident (1923-1924). A letter (May 2, 1923) provides a detailed confidential report on the visit of Lieutenant (later admiral) Tamon Yamaguchi, Imperial Japanese Navy to the USS WOODBURY. Letters (September, 1923, 1938) pertain to the burning and later liquidation of the Atlantic Paint and Varnish Company of Wilmington, N.C. A letter (February, 1925) reports on rioting in the Gulf of San Blas, Panama, by local Indians. Another letter (April, 1925) discusses lessons learned through combined fleet maneuvers.
World War II-related letters pertain to the development of a system of palletized ammunition loading and materials handling devised by Davis, then Inspector of Ordinance at the U.S. Naval Depot at Hingham, Mass. (1942-1943). A variety of photographs from Davis's time at Hingham show construction projects and various military functions. A six-page letter by a disgruntled Naval armed guard commander aboard the SS WEST CACTUS (July, 1942) complains of the phenomenal ineptitude of a merchant marine captain, the surly, inept union-controlled crew, lack of procedure for emergency operations, and inability to acquire armament. Post-World War II material includes a letter from Admiral Chester W. Nimitz to Davis recounting an amusing story of life at the Naval Academy in 1905.
Proceedings of the general court martial of Davis (November, 1923) pertain to his acquittal in the grounding of the WOODBURY in the Perdernales Point disaster. This incident was precipitated by an error on the part of the captain of the DELPHY and also involved the LEE, YOUNG, NICHOLAS, CHAUNCY, and FULLER. Materials on this incident also include charts of the Point Pedernales area and news clippings about the disaster.
Included in the papers is Davis' Naval War College thesis, "The Foreign Policies of the U.S." (1929)
Pamphlets include a "Diagrammatic Study of the Battle of Jutland" (1921); and "A Descriptive and Historical Sketch of Port Arthur," which describes a city fought over by the Russians and Japanese and includes a map of the city and chart of the harbor showing sunken warships. There is also a pamphlet about Nimitz (1971), and a commissioning ceremony program for the USS NIMITZ (May 13, 1972). Clippings include a memorial tribute to Junius Davis (1916) and an account of the sinking of the USS DELPHY (1923). Also of interest is a "secret" eyewitness account of the Battle of Jutland (apparently hand-copied by Davis) by the executive officer of HMS WARSPITE, dated May 31, 1916; "Berehaven and Bantry Bay" (1917), a description of historical and legendary incidents of this Ireland locality, apparently written for Americans stationed in the area during World War I; and typescript copies of ribald doggerel pertaining to the efforts of John Harrelson to make saltpetre from chamber lye in Virginia in 1863.
Other items included are a program for the Army-Navy football game in 1940 and a reprint of "A Letter From the Committee Of the Association of New York To The Lord Mayor And Corporation Of The City Of London 5th May 1775," dealing with attempts to avoid the Revolution.
A photograph album consists of scenes of ships and ship life, probably of the USS DELAWARE in England dating from the time of the coronation of George V, 1910-1912. The oversize folders contain a 7' ×1' panorama of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, showing an anchored fleet, ca. 1920, and Davis's U. S. Navy captain's commission.
Captain Louis Poisson Davis (1883-1978), a native of Wilmington, N.C., was the son of attorney Junius Davis and grandson of eminent Confederate statesman George Davis. A 1905 graduate of the Naval Academy, he participated in the around the world cruise of "Great White Fleet" in 1907. During World War I he commanded the destroyer JARVIS and earned the Navy Cross for his troop and convoy service. As Ordinance Inspector at the U.S. Naval Ammunition Depot during World War II, Davis implemented a system of palletized ammunition loading, an immense logistical advantage to the U.S. war effort.

Senior Stephanie Kinchla
Final Stats
NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA- Senior midfielder Stephanie Kinchla (Falmouth, MA/Falmouth HS/Quinnipiac) had a game to remember in The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's Little East Conference women's lacrosse match against visiting Rhode Island College at Cressy Field Wednesday.
Kinchla became only the second Corsair women's lacrosse player to score as many as eight goals in a game as she led UMass Dartmouth to a 15-11 victory.
Kinchla, who joined UMD's all-time leading scorer, Katelyn Elliott, in scoring as many as eight times in a game, scored the first two goals of the game, then scored with 17:19 left in the first half, and again at 7:45 to give UMass Dartmouth a lead they would never relinquish. In the second half, she scored consecutive goals at 25:07 and 23:32 to make it 11-7, tallied at 17:32 to give the Corsairs a 13-7 advantage, and finished UMD's scoring with 3:15 remaining to make it 15-10.
Sophomore attacker Brittany Enos (East Falmouth, MA/Falmouth HS) and senior midfielder Larissa Basque (Plainville, MA/King Phillip HS) each scored twice for UMD, while junior attacker Molly Voyer (Lincoln, RI/Lincoln HS) scored five times for RIC, and junior attacker Nicky Drolet (Somersworth, NH/Somersworth HS) and freshman attacker Ashley Signoriello (Cranston, RI/Cranston West HS) each scored twice.
"Stephanie did something that's only been done once before at UMass Dartmouth," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Jerry Jennings. "Overall, we played loose and sloppy and were fortunate to get the win. Some of our better players didn't play up to their standards. We were able to maintain our scoring throughout the game, and towards the end of the game, we played the way that we can play. We're happy to be in the playoffs for the 10th straight year."
The Anchorwomen outshot the Corsairs, 40-35. Sophomore goalkeeper Angelina Donovan (Medford, MA/Medford HS) made 19 saves for UMD, while freshman Taryn Carbone (Cranston, RI/Cranston West HS) made 12 stops for RIC.
The Corsairs improved to 5-9 and 1-4 in the Little East Conference with the victory, while the Anchorwomen dropped to 5-9 and 0-6 in LEC play with the defeat. UMass Dartmouth will return to action when they visit Keene State Saturday. The game was the final action of the season for RIC.

It all started when we were going through a premade adventure's flavor text and got to the bit when the party walked into the town of Night Falls. One PC, a paladin, used his class ability to detect evil before entering town. Well of course he was outside the gate so there was nothing. The party went in and flavor and plot ensued up to the point that a NPC, Harken, walked up to the party after being introduced. He is a Guildmaster and well known community member so I didn't think he would have statistics but he did and they showed his alignment to be NE. I alerted the Paladin that there was evil afoot and he instantly initiated combat with Harken, knocked him out, tied him up, and asked him a single question: What Did you do?
The PC assumed he had done something to earn his evil alignment like kill people or something. (He was a greedy man and a necromancer, although most of his spells prepared and in his spellbook weren't necromancy.) He technically was in league with the bad guy but they didn't know this.
In response he cried out, calling the Flesh Golem he was watching, and they killed it and him. In killing the necromancer who was so far helpful and polite to them I believe it violated the paladin's code in the class description (after a few days' thought on my part.) The excuse the player gave me was that his actions were sanctioned by the paladin's code. I don't agree by my reading of the code. So now that he has violated the code:
How do I break it to him that he has lost his powers without making the player think I am out to get him or being a mean GM?
To be honest, I was angry at the time. The local judge(added to the campaign.) is a cleric and has atonement and so the paladin will have a nearby chance to atone, possibly after doing some deeds for his deity.
The adventure I'm running is Lest Darkness Rise, available for free on the Wizards Web site.

: Agriculture must evolve into a more environmentally‑friendly approach while remaining economically workable. This type of agriculture is said to be sustainable. It has a systemic logic and therefore requires a strong knowledge base. In this study we propose a knowledge management IT‑based system. In the first part of our article, we discuss the potential actors of the system and their possible implications. The second part deals with the knowledge selection and formalization. The third part describes the main computing features of the knowledge server we propose.
Keywords: sustainable agriculture, organic farming, knowledge management system for agriculture knowledge modeling

Ted - I just advertised my 89 325IX on the local Craigslist yesterday. Got an email that APPEARED to be from someone as though they'd clicked the "reply to" link in the actual email. The sender excoriated me for advertising his car for sale and threatened to bring the authorities in if I didn't take the ad (AND PICTURES of which, my ad has none!) of his car off CL. He helpfully provided a link:
Here is whereI found listted under your account: http://portland.craigslist.org/cos/ctd/xxxxxxxxx.xxxxx
And he even tells me he sent it from his iPhone!
Interesting because Maine isn't big enough to have cities listed within CL. The link was actually obscured by a URL shortener too.

That is a weird one, wonder what the angle is?
As for the 325ix, man those 4wd e30's are some of the greatest cars BMW ever made! Great for Maine too! You in Portland now?
Last edited by ted; 11-09-2010 at 10:08 PM.
Ted, If you think the E30- X cars (I had 4 of them)were great, then drive the newer version! I have a 2008 for sale now and this is not a sales plug either, just the truth.The issue with the newer cars is they are , like most these days ,sorta impossible to work on as just too techy. No dipsticks, no spares,no jacks and so on is just the start, but they drive like a dream come true!
As to bad stuff online, I sent some pics of a riding jacket to a flea mkt response yesterday and the pics were stored in a file on my computer that had some ebay sales item pics in it(that riding jacket had never been on ebay new or used) and labeled as such, so the guy says he got burned on ebay and so on. Well, getting burned on ebay and passing that on to the rest of us that are honest is a flying leap.Ebay & craigslist are obviously not the problem. All this gettin ripped is another level of what has always been around: some people are bad!Computers just make for a layer of obliviousness that can be hard to see through and the Paypal comment above is absolute fact. Had someone last week that wanted me to sell?(read mail them) them some pricey FB tics without paypal cause I might get a flat tire and not get there to hand deliver them. Isn't it fortunate that most of us are honest? What still seems to work is a phone call and finding out what breed you are dealing with if in doubt-sometimes...
Nope! Still in Augusta. And you're right. They are TANKS in the winter. I have a set of snows mounted and that car is unstoppable in the winter time. My problem is, I just don't drive it anymore. I just had it inspected last weekend. The sticker they scraped off had 154006 written in for the mileage last October 2009. Mileage on the new one? 156300. Just not worth keeping.....

The e30's are a breeze to work on, I once replaced a fuel pump in my 1991 325iC in the parking lot of a hotel in Dayton, Ohio, during a terrific lightning storm. They are a lot like the K75 of cars, especially when it comes down to finding and fixing unmetered air leaks I really miss that car, it still handled better than any car I have owned since.
As for our scammer(s) he/they are an insidious bunch and for now getting the word out is the best defense. We are working on new warnings and some back end things to keep them out, along with trying to find out how they are getting in.
If one cannot command attention by one's admirable qualities one can at least be a nuisance
As long as they don't ask us to wire money via Western Union or MoneyGram, or call them on a phone beginning "+44 70..." I suppose I would leave that up to the fine folks running the volunteers to decide
Seriously, these guys succeed by fooling folks into thinking they are in the UK and getting folks to wire money where it can be picked up anonymously anywhere in the world (like Lagos...) If you stay away from Western Union and MoneyGram you will eliminate 99% of these guys. Services like PayPal work well because it is trackable and there is a dispute resolution system - it may not be the best but it sure scares off most of these guys. There will always be people who steal, who "forget to send" their end, etc. Fortunately with a little diligence most of these guys can be avoided.

I'm writing this with tears.I made a quick trip to United Kingdom on a short vacation and i got mugged at the park of hotel where i stayed. worse of it was that our bags, cash and credit cards were all stolen at GUNPOINT leaving me penniless right now.
It's was a horrible experience for me and i need help flying back home,the authorities are not being 100% supportive but the good thing is that i still have my passports. i need some cash to settle my bills and get on flight back to the state. please let me know if you can help.
I'm freaked out at the moment..
LetÔÇÖs take up a collection and help Richard, it is the forum way after all.
Put me down for five schillings. I know I have a Kenyan five schilling note around the apartment someplace.
Haha - too late, I already responded
Fortunately this came in on a throwaway e-mail account I use just to enter contests and get my daily NewEgg adsHoly Cow Richard, this just happened to you last week and you still owe me $300 from that. You really need to stop traveling to the UK. Speaking of which, just how is the weather in Lagos these days?
That fake cry for help in Ted's post is worded exactly like the one that I and a few others received a couple of weeks ago - except that this allegedly came from my uncle. I contacted him directly to ask about it, and he confirmed it was BS. What actually caught my eye was that the "From" edress was ONE letter different from my uncle's, so I immediately recognized it as probable scamming. On the downside, a lot of people on my uncle's Contacts list got this and didn't recognize the scam. I reported it to our ISP's.
These guys are getting good, they scrape sites like Facebook for friend lists for connected e-mails, and hijack accounts there as well to send these things out using the in-house messaging system. Best bet is to never use Western Union or MoneyGram, virtually every scam relies on the anonymity and worldwide access those services offer. Also, if you are not running a good antivirus program you could be the next victim. I personally like the newest Norton 360 but it is not cheap. Your ISP may offer a free one (Comcast offers McAfee free to customers) and if not, try AGV Free or Free Avast, both are excellent so long as you set them to auto-update.
As for Apple users, the days of being free from the scourge of viruses are ending quickly Fortunately, you too have excellent, free options.

CAPSULE REPORT: This is Page 14 of a 15-page glossary of a glossary of exotic and heirloom vegetables. Click on the black links below to see other pages.
Here are some of the more exotic squash types. See our large Squash Glossary for a basic selection of the types of squash you're more likely to encounter.
Bennings Green Tint Squash
A variety of patty pan squash, with a uniform saucer shape and scalloped edges. They have a fine-textured flesh and good flavor.
Flying Saucer Squash
This variety is best when young and tender. Their neat saucer shape and vibrant colors make them a lovely and flavorful dish sautéed, stuffed or stir-fried.
Japanese Cucumber
A few white spines appear on this cucumber's light green skin, which encloses a crisp white flesh and very low seed content. They can be a substitute for English cucumbers.
Available year-round.
Mo Qua
A squash of Chinese origin and a relative of winter melon. It looks like a zucchini covered in fuzzy white hairs. Inside, the light-colored, slightly firm flesh is mild and will absorb the flavor of whatever food it is cooked with.
Papaya Pear Squash
A bright yellow squash that is tasty raw or cooked. The white flesh is firm and flavorful and the shape makes it ideal for stuffing.
Pul Qua
A squash that originated in southeast Asia. It is long and thin with smooth skin and a yellow-green color. They are a great source of vitamin C and calcium.
Sugar Hubbard Squash
This squash is best cooked diced or cubed, since the rind is bitter and difficult to cut through.

|Flying between Kathmandu and Pokhara in March
After our wonderful trip to Nepal, Nugget and I and the rest of our family have been attentively watching the aftermath of the devastating earthquake on April 25. 7.8 on the Rikter scale.
Two Australians were executed on April 29 in Indonesia for the part they played in the Bali Nine incident. They were not innocent men but they had their lives senselessly taken from them. We heard graphic details as the media counted down their final hours. The children asked why a government was allowed to shoot a person and we scooted around the topic of capital punishment. It made no sense to them. It makes no sense to me. Two more deaths to add to the weeks tally. RIP Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran.
In Baltimore, Freddy Gray, a 25 year old black man, died in police custody on April 19 from injuries sustained while being transported in a police vehicle. A completely unnecessary death. Riots ensued with several police injured and many protestors arrested. Six police officers have now been charged for the crime that they committed. RIP Freddy Gray.
With all this in the news, the children have been asking many questions about death. Dew Drop has been particularly sensitive and concerns himself daily with the question "Am I going to die today".
We take opportunities where we can to teach our children about the world around them and the cycle of life. It has been hard to side-step the tough questions this week. Here's to a brighter week next week.
How have your children coped with all the death in the media this week?

A 46-year-old Austin man died while swimming in the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon Sunday morning. Race organizers believes the man suffered a heart attack shortly after he entered the San Francisco Bay for the 1.5-mile swimming portion of the triathlon around 7:30 a.m., according a statement by Race Director Bill Burke.
Burke said that the race's water safety team saw the man in the water, and began CPR as they brought him to the shore. But rescuers were unable to revive him.
Burke said the man is the first person to die in the race's history.
The Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon includes a 1.5-mile swim from Alcatraz Island to the shores of the St. Francis Yacht Club, an 18-mile bike ride, and an 8-mile run through San Francisco's Golden Gate Recreational Area.

Return to Fourwinds
At Fourwinds they gather: Alice and Ralph, Patricia and Peter, to celebrate the marriage of their children. The marquee is on the lawn, breathing in and out in the summer heat. But the bride is nowhere to be seen.
As both families are drawn together, the past floods through the corridors of the old house. What secret has Ralph been keeping from his wife? What is it about Alice's wartime encounter with Peter that has haunted her ever since? And what could have caused Sarah to vanish without a word to any of the people she loves?
Moving from the orange groves of Valencia and the spacious houses of the British countryside to the post-war slums in the north, Return to Fourwinds is a sweeping, lyrical story of the things we tell and the things we keep to ourselves. Is Sarah's disappearance a culmination of the pressures that have kept the two families apart? Or can they work together to bring her back to Fourwinds?

Every week we get Down & Dirty, in which Nozlee Samadzadeh breaks down our favorite seasonal fruits, vegetables, and more by the numbers.
Apples are arguably the world's most popular fruit -- "the apple of my eye," "as American as apple pie," "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." In many languages, other fruits and vegetables are defined in terms of apples, like pommes de terre in French and sib zamini in Farsi for potatoes, and the Medieval name "love apples" for tomatoes. And let's just say you won't find watermelons in the origin stories of multiple religions.
For all their ubiquity, it's a shame that you can only find three or four varieties at the grocery store: Red and Golden Delicious, maybe Granny Smith or Fuji. In reality, there are dozens upon dozens of varieties of apples with amazing names like Northern Spy, Tolman Sweet, Smokehouse, Nodhead, and more. (Check out the apple varieties and descriptions at the Out on a Limb CSA in Maine for a real treat.) Apples can be uniquely suited to certain preparations, as well -- juicier varieties for applesauce, crabapples for cider, firmer apples for pie.
The half-dozen different apples that we found at the farmers' market are just the tip of the iceberg, varietally speaking, but they're a start! We've talked about our favorite apples before, but today we take a closer look.
1. Gala: Small, with dappled red-yellow skin, a grainy texture, and mild flavor, Galas store well and and have a long growing season. They were originally developed in New Zealand but have spread all over the world -- they're the most popular apple sold in the UK!
2. Honeycrisp: Developed as a hybrid at the University of Minnesota in the 1960s, honeycrisps are everything a snacking apple should be: sweet, with crisp, firm flesh and flavorful skin. Like many other hybrid plants, Honeycrisps are grown by grafting rather than planting -- fruit grown from the seeds of the hybrid apple won't necessarily have the same characteristics.
3. Golden Supreme: First grown in West Virginia, Golden Supremes are thin-skinned and mellow, with a looser structure to their flesh than many varieties.
4. Cortland: Short and wide, a Cortland is immediately recognizable for its burgundy-and-green skin and stunningly white interior. Developed in New York and still largely grown there, they're a great choice for eating raw -- their flesh browns much less quickly than other apples'!
5. McIntosh: Yes, this is the one your computer is named after. Native to New England and Canada, McIntosh apples lend a pretty pink tint to applesauces and pies. They don't keep well, so use them up quickly!
6. Macoun: These give Honeycrisps a run for their money in the snack department: sweet, juicy, and crunchy, they have the same short shape as Cortlands. Snap them up when you see them -- their short growing season and susceptibility to disease make them a rare treasure when a good harvest hits.
7. Snow White Syndrome: The five-petal apple blossom grows into a five-carpel apple core, each containing one to three seeds. A lot has been made about how apple seeds are poisonous. The truth? Like cherry and apricot pits, apple seeds contain amygdalin, a naturally occurring compound with a bitter almond taste. When consumed, certain enzymes in the small intestine can catalyze, releasing cyanide from the amygdalin. So are apple seeds toxic? Yes. But you shouldn't be worried about eating an errant few.
Now that we've learned so much about apple varieties, make some bold choices with your next pie, tart, salad, or sauce! The Granny Smiths of the world will still be around when you get back, we promise.

But while all of those ideas are fine in theory, sometimes the finished product doesn't always end up the way its creators intended. This might be one of those instances. What do you think? Design win or design disaster? [The Verge]

Don't rule out rookie linebacker Jarvis Jones starting for Steelers
By Ed Bouchette / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette June 13, 2013 12:18 am
The most recent rookies to nail down starting jobs with the Steelers defense no longer are with the defense. Casey Hampton is gone after a dozen years as their starting nose tackle and inside linebacker Kendrell Bell's career steadily went downhill after he was named NFL defensive rookie of the year.
They took over as rookies in 2001. No rookie has won a starting defensive job since, not Troy Polamalu, not Lawrence Timmons or LaMarr Woodley, and neither of their first-round picks at defensive end, Ziggy Hood nor Cameron Heyward.
Jarvis Jones could end that drought.
Steelers Report: Jarvis Jones a starter?
The PG's Ed Bouchette talks about Jarvis Jones with linebackers coach Keith Butler, who says the rookie has looked good enough in mini-camp to compete for a starting role. (Video by Andrew Rush; 6/12/2013)
"He's showing us things, and, if he keeps showing those things he's going to be a big part of that, hopefully," said Keith Butler, who coaches the Steelers linebackers.
Butler said Jones, the team's first-round draft choice, will compete to start at right outside linebacker in training camp. His main competition to fill James Harrison's spot is veteran Jason Worilds, their second-round draft pick in 2010 who is trying to win his first starting job.
One rookie has started at outside linebacker for the Steelers since the modern era of pro football began in 1970 with the merger of the NFL and the AFL. His name is Jack Ham.
No other rookie has done so, and expectations were rarely there for them to do it, especially when they switched to the 3-4 defense in 1982 and began taking college defensive ends and converting them to outside linebackers. That took time, but now comes Jones fresh off Georgia's 3-4 defense and more ready-made than what the Steelers are used to at outside linebacker.
"The best thing for him is his background, he played linebacker at Georgia, so he understands concepts as opposed to being a defensive end who doesn't know anything," Butler said.;)
"He's picked some things up. There's a lot we're throwing at him right now, as we do everybody. He's still learning, but he's learning at a quicker pace than most guys we drafted at that position as a defensive end."
Plenty can happen between now, training camp and when the Steelers kick off their season Sept. 8 against the Tennessee Titans at Heinz Field, but Jones is pushing to become the next Ham, who started all 14 games his rookie season of 1971, when he was a second-round draft pick.
"He's shown us a lot of instinctive football ability," defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau said. "If the coach doesn't mess him up, I think he's got a chance to be a pretty good player."
Jones is learning to drop into pass coverage in spring practices more than anything else.
"He's done well in the drops, but, when he was in college, he kind of freelanced a little bit," Butler said. "We're a little bit more disciplined in terms of what we ask him to do and the technique we ask him to use in the passing game.
"All he did was drop straight back and look at the quarterback. He was 5 yards off the ball looking at the quarterback. We ask him to do a lot of different things in terms of pass coverage, and that's not one of them. I have to get him out of that habit a little bit, and he's willing to get out of that habit."
The better Jones knows the defense, the more chance he will have to start in it. Woodley flashed great pass-rush ability as a rookie in 2007, but did not start a game because he did not know the defense.
"I think you play people when they're ready to play and, what I mean by that is when they know what they're doing," Butler said. "If they don't know what they're doing, they hurt the doggone defense, and it's not fair to the rest of the guys to have them out on the field. He knows that, and I've talked to him about it. Before he plays, he has to know what he's doing."
Woodley shaping up nicely:)
Butler is pleased with Woodley's physical shape this spring. He hopes he can keep it up.
Woodley's past two seasons were marred by injuries. A hamstring injury ruined the second half of his 2011 season, and hamstring and ankle injuries limited him to 13 games and four sacks last season. He was the target of an anonymous teammate's quote, blaming his lack of production on his lack of working out. Teammate Ryan Clark convinced him to work with his trainer in Arizona this year.
"Whatever he's doing appears to be right," Butler said. "We'll see when we get to training camp. The biggest thing for him is we have to keep him on the field. We've talked to him about that, and he understands that. Lamar is a prideful man, and he understands that he has to play at a certain level to fulfill his contract, you might say. He's working at it."
Woodley was a team sack leader before the series of injuries. He had 13.5 in 2009, 13 in 2010 including the postseason and nine through the first eight games of 2011.
"The problem for him obviously is not being on the field," Butler said. "He has to be on the field. That's with anybody. It doesn't matter why you're not on the field, you're not on the field."
Adams watches practice:)
Offensive tackle Mike Adams watched practice from the sideline dressed in sweats after a doctor's appointment at the Steelers training facility. It was his second appearance at the South Side facility since he was stabbed in the stomach and arm June 1 on Carson Street, but the first time he attended practice.
The Steelers did not permit him to talk to the media.
LeBeau not looking far ahead
LeBeau, who turns 76 the day after the Steelers' opening game of the season, would not be pinned down on how long he hopes to keep coaching their defense.
"I don't worry too much about the future," LeBeau said. "Some of us don't have as much future as others."

Big Bird stars in new Obama TV ad
Updated 9:00 a.m. ET
It was bound to happen: Big Bird's appearance in an anti-Mitt Romney TV ad.
The Obama campaign released a new ad today that slams Romney's call to end government funding of PBS and tries to turn his joke about loving Big Bird against him.
The ad begins by describing convicted "gluttons of greed" such as Bernie Madoff and Kenneth Lay and cheekily says only "One man has the guts" to speak the name of "evil genius who towered over" them: Big Bird. The ad continues with clips of Romney saying "Big Bird", followed by a clip of Big Bird saying, "It's me, Big Bird."
"Big, yellow, a menace to our economy," the ad jokingly continues. "Mitt Romney knows it's not Wall Street you have to worry about, it's Sesame Street."
"Mitt Romney, taking on our enemies no matter where they nest."
The ad follows the criticism unveiled by President Obama the day after last Wednesday's debate, during which Romney said that while "I love Big Bird", he would cut funding to PBS.
On Thursday, Mr. Obama told a crowd in Denver, "Thank God someone is getting tough on Big Bird. ... We didn't know Big Bird was driving the deficit."
Romney spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg responded to the ad, telling CBS News in an email: "Four years ago, President Obama said that if you don't have a record to run on, 'you make a big election about small things.' With 23 million people struggling for work, incomes falling, and gas prices soaring, Americans deserve more from their president."
The Obama campaign tells CBS News that the ad will run on national cable - not specifically in any battleground states - and would not indicate how much they're spending on the ad buy.

Cave art at Teverga: the most modern gallery of Prehistoric art
Entrance to the Prehistory Park in Teverga (Asturias)
Room in the Prehistory Park in Teverga (Asturias)
Surroundings of the Prehistory Park in Teverga (Asturias)
A unique cultural attraction is waiting for you: the Prehistory Park in Teverga. Can you imagine one single cave that brings together the most important examples of European cave art? In Asturias, northern Spain, this cave exists. Take a trip back to the origins of art through reproductions of paintings that are between 10,000 and 35,000 years old. Come and join us on this journey back to the Palaeolithic period.
The Prehistory Park in Teverga is situated in an incomparable natural setting: the central mountains of Asturias, in the heart of Green Spain, only 40 kilometres from Oviedo.
The main attraction at the Prehistory Park is known as the "Cave of Caves", a natural environment that recreates the climate of a Palaeolithic cave. Everything is set up in such a way that you can put yourself in the shoes of a real archaeologist, observing from close up recreations of the Caverna de la Peña de Candamo and Tito Bustillo caves, both located in the Region of Asturias, as well as the famous "black room" of Niaux. This extraordinary project, the first of its kind, features a permanent exhibition of Europe's most important cave paintings.
Experience the unique magic of the first artistic symbols to be drawn by man. Information panels provide an insight into the famous horses of Chauvet cave, the bison on the roof of Altamira Cave (Cantabria) and the mysterious symbols of Llonín Cave. Videos, an exhibition of tools and implements, and even a simulated burial give visitors the chance to find out how Stone Age man lived and expressed himself. Described as the "most modern gallery of Prehistoric art", it will soon be equipped with a number of educational workshops revealing how materials were prepared 30,000 years ago and the techniques used to apply them.
Asturias' fascination with bygone times does not end here however. If you want to travel back even further, to the days when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, then head to the stretch of coastline running between the villages of Villaviciosa, Colunga and Ribadesella. Colunga is home to the Asturias Jurassic Museum (MUJA), and you can also take a look at the dinosaur prints on La Griega beach. Asturias is the place to go if you want to give your children an exciting educational experience. Come and see for yourself. Asturias, the ideal location for travelling back to prehistoric times.
You will find more information at the Prehistory Park website.

City crews battle winter storm
Plows continue to clear priority routes
Light snow continued to fall in downtown Des Moines on Thursday night.
But it was the wind that was causing problems.
Keo Way was plowed, but as soon as the work was completed, the wind blew the snow back on the pavement.
The windy conditions are making it difficult for plow drivers to keep up, but they're out in force.
About 225 miles of heavily traveled main roads need to be cleared for emergency vehicles.
"We continue on those throughout the night. We want to keep those open for public safety personnel, so we will be on those 225 miles of streets throughout the night," Public Works Director Pat Kozitza said. "The concern now is exactly how this (storm) is going to hit and (the) parked cars on the streets."
Kozitza urged motorists to consider where they park.
"It's important to move off those streets, so we can clear them quickly. I think we may have another storm coming in first thing next week. We have to get this plowed and out of the way," Kozitza said.
Those who live in Drake, Drake Park, Carpenter, River Bend and Sherman Hill neighborhoods will need to have vehicles moved to the even-numbered side of the street by 7 a.m.
Officials said they had responded to 49 crashes Thursday night.

The switch has been flipped on Facebook's first owned and operated data center. As of today, Prineville, Oregon, is home to millions of Facebook status updates, photos and videos. All that data is stored in a 300,000 square-foot facility that runs primarily on coal.
The electricity that Facebook uses to run its now-operational Prineville data center is provided by the local utility, Pacific Power. While Oregon's energy mix is only 8% coal, Pacific Power imports power from other states. The utility's supply mix is 62.97% coal, which means so is Facebook's new data center.
On the plus side, Facebook has done some creative things in Prineville with regards to energy efficiency. The company has poured a lot of effort into reducing the power use of its servers and optimizing the data center's design for energy savings. Facebook claims that these efforts will amount to 38% reduction in energy use, and it recently shared its techniques with the rest of the IT industry through the Open Compute Project.
Facebook's Open Commute Project's emphasis on energy efficiency, as well as transparency, provides an opportunity to be an open-source model not only for the transparent use of equipment and design of data centers, but also transparency in the disclosure of data centers' emissions and energy sources.
The company's commitment to sustainability can't stop there. We have not yet seen Facebook take seriously the source of energy used to power its infrastructure. Energy efficiency will reduce overall use, but in order to feed its growth sustainably, Facebook also needs to commit to the use of clean and renewable power.
Energy efficiency and energy source should not be treated as an "either/or" decision. But in regard to Prineville, and consistently in our public debate with the company over its reliance on coal-powered electricity, Facebook seems to believe that it can ignore which power it uses as long as it uses it more slowly. We cry foul on this false dichotomy.
Facebook has immediate options that it should pursue:
1. Transparency and reporting: Facebook should disclose the energy sources and renewable energy percentage of its Prineville data center publicly and expand upon the the transparency endeavors of the Open Compute Project to open source its emissions reporting as well.
2. Increase renewable energy in Prineville: Through some combination of direct on-site installation and investment in clean energy development (a la Google), Facebook should set a target to use more renewable energy to power its data center, and use its bulk purchasing power to work with Pacific Power on getting more renewable energy onto the grid.
3. Policy Advocacy: As part of an overall greater emphasis on climate policy advocacy, Facebook should push for strong policies and incentives in Oregon that increase the availability of renewable energy and ensure that its Prineville operations will be increasingly run on clean energy.
Longer term, Facebook needs to put forward a strong infrastructure siting policy that prioritizes access to renewable energy and establishes a comprehensive greenhouse gas mitigation strategy in addition to, not instead of, its energy efficiency measures.
Next week we will release a report called "How Dirty Is Your Data?" which examines the energy choices of Facebook and its IT peers. The report shows how other IT companies have made better choices than Facebook when it comes to renewable energy, and it would behoove Facebook to take some notes.
Google, for example, has invested twice in wind projects and also in a major solar project within the last year. These investments are explicitly part of Google's strategy increase the supply of renewable energy on the grid, which helps to ensure that clean power will fuel the cloud as it grows.
Facebook has not released a renewable energy strategy for its new Prineville data center or any future infrastructure. A Guinness World Record's worth of 80,000 Facebook comments have called upon the company to do so by Earth Day. Stay tuned for more.

Happy Good Friday: Non-Christians must surely wonder what's so good about Good Friday, which Christians mark as the day Jesus was crucified. There are several theories, including the idea that the term comes from a Middle English twist on "God's Friday." Even today, the etymology stirs a discussion.
But the more philosophical approach is that the bloody Friday shown so vividly in "The Passion of the Christ" was good because it brought redemption after Adam's "happy fault." Comfort can be drawn from the view that even the most terrible things can be turned to good when you look at the bigger picture.
That may be cold comfort on a day like this one, when religion itself plays a part in Iraq's dark drama. But is religion to blame? In addition to being Good Friday, today marks the fourth day of Passover as well as the Muslim sabbath. So in honor of Holy Weekend, here is some of the feedback sent in response to this week's science-and-religion debate:
Richard Vale: "For the greater part of my life, I was an atheist whose core beliefs were dictated by the rules of science. As of this Saturday, after much debate and cynicism, I will become a Catholic. So from someone who has sat on both sides of the issue, No ... I don't feel that religion as a whole is responsible for the terrors of this world. While it is true that the largest wars of all time were fueled by religious disagreement, it is the actions of extremists that are currently making war in this world. People who think they are doing the will of their God. The irony of course is that the Jewish, Muslim and Christian God are one and the same. The God of Abraham. Talk about 'Open to interpretation!' What people miss is that the core teaching of all religions (regardless of leadership issues) has been the same throughout the centuries. Love each other.
"So who is at fault? Our religions dictate that we all love each other. The fact that most people don't cannot be blamed on the teachers, but on the students. We were all told the right way to live. But we have chosen another. As is the case with just about everything that is wrong with the world, it is the fault of the human race. We are prone to error and drawn to destruction. Think about that the next time you're driving past an automobile accident. Why is everyone slowing down? No, it's not to be careful. It's to gawk at how bad someone else's life just got."
Tom Coulcher, Sydney, Australia: "Firstly, let me tell you I was brought up as a Catholic. I went to Vietnam as a soldier. (Soldiers are allowed to kill because 'God' is on their side!). I dabbled in theology during my aborted university years, and opined that Buddhism is as good as any. I am now 57.
"I have concluded, though not scientifically, that religion is an invention. Invented for man, by man, to justify his existence. Without religion why are we here? Are we the only living beings (as we know it) in the entire, huge, mind-boggling, endless universe? Probably/possibly.
"Are we designated to spend our extremely short lives on this planet for no external reason? Ever since 'man' developed the ability to think, he thought there must be a better life. Since that better life could not be found on this planet in this life, then there must be a better life somewhere else. Ergo, God in Heaven, and throw in a hell for the baddies. Oh, and virgins for martyrs of any persuasion.
"There is no god. When we die the lights just go out, period."
Mike Roche, Brampton, Ontario: "Any individual, if they look back in time to any year since the advent of man, can see that the biggest curse man has ever invented is the name 'Religion.' This is an invention of man, whether it be from an interpretation of past stories or legends. The cradle of religion the Middle East has been in turmoil since the invention of their religions. Millions and millions over time have been killed over ridiculous, phony beliefs by all the Middle East religions. Next in line is geographical country borderlines, but that can at least make some sense. If the curse of religion was removed, whatever the name, everybody would be a lot better off."
Kenneth James Garrett, Abbotsford, British Columbia: "I wish Jews, Christians and Muslims would focus on Abraham and the many things they share. Also, the Mayans predicted Dec. 23, 2012, as the end of the age, we will be fully into Aquarius by around 2010, I read that the Vedas claim 2011 as the change of ages, and of course most Christians tell me that it won't be long. Coincidence? But maybe our ever accelerating rate of overconsumption of earth's biomass, our omnipresent pollution, all the wars, etc., will all be solved in the next 8 years, and we'll be OK."
Patrick Bishop, Caldwell: "Religion is not responsible for the world's condition. Isn't it in the nature of people to be contentious, to adopt an 'us or them' attitude? Religion is just one of the variables by which people distinguish the 'us' from the 'them.' The root of our problems is that 'us or them' attitude. If we could magically reprogram people all around the world to instantaneously and simultaneously forget our religious beliefs, we'd be fighting over something else ... maybe whether we're right or left-handed. So getting rid of religion won't stop the fighting. However, I think, and this is just my opinion, that far more people have been helped by religion than have been hurt by it. Lots of things bring out the worst in us, but is there anything that has a greater ability than religion to bring out what is great in us?
"Whether or not there really is a supreme being somewhere that is aware of humans and loves us, our belief that there is is very ennobling. Otherwise, humans are just an exceptionally bright species of ape, and apart from that there's nothing special about us. If we're just animals, why behave like anything else?"
Rick Monce: "I have always loved science and technology, as a child looking up at the night sky, lying in my back yard totally amazed at the space we all exist in. I also consider myself a moderately spiritual individual whose belief in a power greater than man has been at work long before man became self-aware. Reliance by people on a single perspective only limits us as a race. To truly find ourselves as a species, we must embrace all that makes us human, whether it be based on science or religion."
Roger Kern: "I offer this quotation in this debate. I believe it is an apt summary: 'The more I study religions, the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.' — Sir Richard Francis Burton"
Steve Wilhelmsen, Omaha, Neb.: "While I'm sure my 'religion' is the right one, and if you asked me why, I would tell you why, I will not by the grace of God force you to accept it! However, it seems too many folk just gotta make you believe like they do. But it's not between me and thee. It's between that God and the individual. Religious persecution is always wrong!"

Voting against e-voting: Electronic voting faced a decisive e-vote of no confidence from Cosmic Log readers this week, despite VoteHere's latest effort to boost support for the technology by releasing the source code for its verification software. Here's a sampling from the e-mailbag:
John Morales, Harker Heights, Texas: "Unless electronic ballots produce a paper record of all the votes cast, they should not be allowed. No exceptions. Here and there are spots in this country where dishonest election officials will take advantage of the holes in an easily accessed electronic voting system to swing the vote their way."
Stephen Samuel: "It's nice that VoteHere has released a copy of their source code, but it's still a big question as to whether or not the code that they're releasing is the actual code that gets used on voting day. From reading their source license, it doesn't look to me like they'd allow a customer to compile the released source code and use that self-compiled code to run an election. They also don't seem to make any promise that the source code released is exactly what's compiled into their systems. As a side point: Neither do they allow users to fix bugs that they find. If a customer were to find an error, they would have to inform the company and hope that they get around to fixing it, rather than being able to fix it themselves, and forward it to the company for installation in the official release."
Richard A. Stewart, Chicago: "The only verification I really trust is a paper trail, though even that, in the wrong hands, can be suspect. What really bothers me is that we are rushing not only to trust our votes to unproven technology, but putting the electoral process into the hands of private contractors. The country's leading manufacturer of voting machines has a CEO who has said he will do everything he can to ensure the president's re-election! Is nobody alarmed at this? Count me — on paper, please — as a voter who is not at all reassured."
Tom Paxton, Harriman, Tenn.: "It would be appropriate to standardize all voting machines used in national elections. In this manner we might get an elected president in the White House as opposed to a Supreme Court appointee. It should not be possible for a president's brother to steal an election by discarding unfavorable votes. Of course, it was thoroughly investigated by Jeb and Katherine."
Wade Whitlock, Aberdeen, Md.: "Touchscreen voting. What a tangled web we weave ... Never forget: 'People who cast votes decide nothing. People who count votes decide everything!' Attributed to Josef Stalin, or was it Jeb Bush, I can't remember! As I am fond of pointing out to young engineers in rapture over computers, no one ever had a crash with a slide rule and pencil and paper. KISS. The same goes with voting! Nuff said! Change of subject — Go Burt!!! "

Hubble's treats and trivia: You can always count on the HubbleSite to present some of the coolest images of the cosmos, as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope. But this month the Space Telescope Science Institute's Web portal is a veritable three-ring circus, with stunning still images, a new Flash video presentation, games and even prizes.
In one ring, you have today's release of a Hubble Heritage image showing the galaxy NGC 300. The spiral galaxy, 6.5 million light-years from Earth in the southern constellation Sculptor, looks much as our own Milky Way would from a similar distance.
Ground-based telescopes can see the sweep of the spiral arms and even pick out some of the individual stars, but Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys has a resolution 10 times as good as the best ground telescopes.
The finer resolution lets scientists measure the brightness of individual stars — and that information can be used to calibrate astronomers' yardsticks.
"By combining the stellar brightness with other information, such as the stellar temperature, surface gravity and mass outflow, astronomers are defining a new technique to measure distances to galaxies located millions of light-years away," the institute says in its Q&A about NGC 300.
In HubbleSite's second ring, you can watch a sight-and-sound documentary about galaxy collisions and what they tell us about the foundations of the universe. The newly released production, "Cosmic Collision," combines animations, still imagery and click-through graphics to explain how our Milky Way and the neighboring Andromeda Galaxy will run into each other billions of years from now.
As if that's not enough, a trivia quiz awaits in the third ring: "Way Out" tests your astronomical knowledge, and the more you know, the quicker you can "moove" a cosmic cow out of the Milky Way. Choose from three levels of difficulty, and see Hubble imagery at each stop along the way.
During Astronomy Week, April 19-24, HubbleSite will be awarding prizes to "Way Out" players in a daily drawing. Among the prizes: an 8-inch Newtonian reflecting telescope and special-edition Hubble posters and photos. You don't have to be a stellar quiz master — just answer eight of the 12 questions correctly and you're entered. Check out the official HubbleSite rules for details. I'll pass along a reminder on April 19.

How hummingbirds hunt: Hummingbirds cannot live on nectar alone, but must supplement that with every bug that flies into their gaping mouths. How does a hummingbird's slender beak, which seems so specialized for poking into flowers, snag the gnats needed for a balanced diet?
That's the question addressed by University of Connecticut researchers Gregor Yanega and Margaret Rubega in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature. They turned high-speed cameras on three species of the evanescent avians, and found that the hummingbirds flexed their lower jaws downward to maximize their gape. That flexing apparently involves a deformation of the birds' lower jawbones — a phenomenon that has never been noticed before, the researchers said.
Most birds who catch bugs have short beaks, and flex the upper bill exclusively. Yanega and Rubega surmise that hummingbirds somehow evolved with a trick lower jaw as well to maximize the effectiveness of their long, downward-curving beaks.
The evolutionary implications of the avian jaw may not be headline news, but you have to admit that the pictures (and the video accompanying Nature's report) give you a new appreciation of the hummingbird as hunter. And it's particularly fitting that the research comes from the University of Connecticut, this week's big winner in the Final Four hunt.
By the way, if you're a birding fan, you'll definitely want to check out the "Ten Most Wanted" list at eBird, an ornithology Web site developed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society. The Brant goose leads the list of sought-after birds, but even the American robin is rated in the Top Ten. If you've seen these birds, send in your sightings.

E-vote recount: Will VoteHere's release of the source code for its ballot verification technology make people feel more confident about using e-voting. "You've got to find someone without a vested interest to say that," says Bruce Schneier, an e-voting skeptic and the founder of Counterpane Internet Security. I've added some of Schneier's comments to the source-code story , but assuming that you don't have a vested interest in touchscreen voting technology, I'd love to find out what you think about the latest chapter in the e-voting controversy.

The voting booth from hell: Were you flummoxed by Florida's hanging chads in the 2000 presidential election? Do you get touchy about touchscreen voting machines? If the current e-voting controversy makes you crazy, consider Purdue University's prize-winning voting machine, a contraption that requires 71 separate steps to mark up a paper ballot.
Some of the steps involve toy gorillas swinging bats at balls, water turning tiny waterwheels, a vacuum cleaner and a rolling conveyor belt. All that complexity adds up to a winning entry in last weekend's National Rube Goldberg Machine Contest, conducted on Purdue's home turf in West Lafayette, Ind.
The goal for the contestants was to devise a machine to select, mark and cast an election ballot in at least 20 steps. The annual contest is named in honor of cartoonist Rube Goldberg, who made a name for himself by drawing diagrams of wacky devices that did mundane tasks like sharpening pencils.
Unlike the cartoon contraptions, the entries in this weekend's contest had to really, really work — well, at least two out of three times. So when the machine entered by the Purdue University Society of Manufacturing Engineers flopped the first time, it was a cause for concern.
Fortunately for the home team, the second and third runs went off perfectly, winning Purdue the $300 first-place prize and a $50 "People's Choice" award. Ferris State University's Underdogs team was awarded $150 for second place, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers team from the University of Texas at Austin received $50 for third place. Other teams competing were from the University of Toledo and Michigan State University.
"I was definitely pleased with the quality of the machines," said Joshua Sandler, national contest chairman and a Purdue senior in electrical engineering technology. "There was no clear-cut winner. Most years you see the teams bring in their machines and one stands out over the others. This year, all of the teams brought strong, impressive machines."

Holy terror: Tonight's paschal full moon comes amid one of the biggest weeks on the Judeo-Christian religious calendar: For Jews, Passover begins at sundown today, while for Christians, this week marks the buildup to Easter Sunday. For Muslims, meanwhile, the next major religious celebration comes next month with Mawlid al-Nabi, or the Prophet's Birthday.
In an ideal world, this would be a good time for reconciliation among the People of the Book — but just one look at MSNBC's home page will tell you this is not an ideal world.
In fact, there's ample evidence that relations between Jews, Christians and Muslims are slumping precipitously: Muslim extremists put Rome on their target list ... Jews and Christians wrangle over "The Passion of the Christ," while some Arabs hope the film will whip up fresh waves of anti-Semitism ... and the attitudes of some Christians are giving Muslims at home and abroad cause for concern.
It's enough to make some non-believers wonder whether religion is worth the trouble: In this month's "Science and Religion" issue of Skeptical Inquirer magazine, several writers argue that the God of Moses, Jesus and Muhammad should be put in the same pigeonhole as the Loch Ness Monster.
On the other hand, the Bible and its historical underpinnings are a perennial subject for mainstream media. By their fruit shall ye know them: The recent offerings include "Jesus and Paul" and "The Trial of Jesus" as well as "Shroud of Christ?" on television, "The Da Vinci Code" and "Glorious Appearing" at the bookstores, and yet another big-budget biblical film project, "The Gospel of John."
Is it the fault of religion that the world's a mess? At least twice a year, we look at the tension between science and religion, so consider this a fresh invitation to join the Cosmic Log debate.
For further reading, check out this month's selection for the Cosmic Log Used Book Club: "Angels and Demons," written by "Da Vinci Code" author Dan Brown. This is a prequel to Brown's better-known thriller, also starring symbologist Robert Langdon and set mostly in Rome. The book manages to touch upon the Illuminati, the arcana of papal succession and Catholic lore, antimatter physics and CERN, and even typographical treats known as ambigrams. And in keeping with the CLUB Club rules, the book should be a lot easier to find at your local library or used-book shop than "The Da Vinci Code."

Space race update: Canada's da Vinci Project is hoping to play the role of David against the American Goliath in the X Prize competition to put a privately funded vehicle through suborbital spaceflight, according to The StarPhoenix in Saskatoon. In this version of the tale, Goliath would be Burt Rutan's SpaceShipOne effort, considered the favorite to win the $10 million X Prize.
"It's the Canadian team with no money against the American team with unlimited resources," spokeswoman Melanie Wildman is quoted as saying. "But they just did some test flights and had a failed landing and our testing has gone perfectly. We feel like we have the edge."
The da Vinci team plans a summer launch from Kindersley in Saskatchewan, and is due to announce the timing of its X Prize attempt on April 18, The StarPhoenix reports. For more on the X Prize buildup, check out X-Prize Space Race News.

Thomas Urbach, the President and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Korea, took his own life in Germany during a trip to visit the automaker's headquarters.
He was 50 years old.
Details are scarce, but it sounds like Urbach was suffering from chronic depression for the last 10 years, and there is speculation that led to the suicide. Urbach sent an email that made the COO of Benz Korea contact local authorities to check on his well-being. By the time the police got there, it was too late
He leaves behind a wife and teenage daughter.

Salem police arrest suspected Peeping Tom
Salem police arrested a man accused of being a Peeping Tom.
Dannie Compton, 62, faces one charge of voyeurism after investigators said he was looking into a woman's apartment through the window.
Those two women in their 60s said Compton lived next to them for several years.
They said he had been getting creepier recently, and this time they had seen enough.
"We used to watch over him until this incident, tried to keep him safe," said alleged victim Minnie White.
White was at her friend's Aspen Meadows apartment late Friday night, when she said she noticed Compton peeking in through the windows.
White, who lives in a nearby unit, described to WLKY how she felt as she called police.
"(I was) scared. You never know when you're going to be walking here, have to leave or something and he'll do something to you," said White.
When officers arrived, police reports said Compton was hiding behind a fence that holds the complex's dumpster.
Investigators said he admitted to peeping into the apartment window.
Neighbors said Compton has shown bizarre behavior in the past, and often sits on the victim's front porch, waiting for her to get home.
"He kind of creeps the kids out a little bit and the kids are afraid of him. I always thought he was harmless, so it surprised me he was actually arrested," said neighbor Briyanna Portella.
Neighbors said Compton might have mental health issues, but they contend he knows the difference between right and wrong.
Even though she thought he was off, Portela still thought he was a nice guy.
"He's very polite. Every time I see him, he picks up trash along the sidewalks and parking lot and he always says hello and good morning," said Portella.
A couple, believed to be family members of Compton's, moved stuff out of his unit Monday afternoon.
They had no comment.
White said she's looking forward to having a different neighbor.
"I just thank God that they're finally doing something maybe to get him some place to he needs to be, where he won't be doing this to other people," said White.
Compton pleaded not guilty to his misdemeanor charge Monday afternoon.
He is out of jail now, and will be back in court next month.

U.S. Military Forces and Police Assistance in Stability Operations: The Least-Worst Option to Fill the U.S. Capacity Gap
August 24, 2010
Authored by Colonel (Ret.) Dennis E Keller.
Stability operations in Iraq and Afghanistan continue to be challenged by the lack of effective local police forces to secure the civilian population from insurgent infiltration and criminal violence. Given U.S. government legal and organizational shortfalls to train and advise foreign police forces, coupled with an operational environment characterized by local police corruption and abusiveness, this monograph proposes a way ahead for effective community based policing despite these adverse circumstances.

Two years ago, Microsoft's search engine Bing occupied the basement of Cisero's off of bustling Main Street, where it played host to the after party of the Sundance hit WAITING FOR SUPERMAN—a documentary about the failings of the U.S. public education system. In the restaurant's cramped, caliginous basement, John Legend, the film's co-producer, teamed up with The Roots to perform an intimate show for about one hundred-plus people. To the right of the stage, behind a VIP rope flanked by three colossal security guards, stood a bespectacled middle-aged white guy in a fleece, cradling a beer and doing the Macarena. It was Bill Gates.
"We love the spirit of independence at Sundance, encouraging up-and-coming filmmakers, and the indie nature around it," said Bing director Lisa Gurry. "Our first year at Sundance, we had such a great reception from the Sundance community that we decided last year to make a bigger investment."

Speak the Speech
New Pond Farm is an environmental education center and working farm in Redding that sees its mission as "connecting people with the land that enriches and sustains us all."
This year's Winter Shakespeare Acting Class aims to connect young people to the land through education.
The intensive eight-week program for high school students takes monologues and scenes of the Bard's classic plays from the page to the stage. It's titled "Speak the Speech, I Pray You," from a line in "Hamlet."
Actress and educator Julia Levo describes the excitement she sees students experience when using Shakespeare's language. They discover very deep emotions and express them in a way they wouldn't normally do while portraying his characters.
"It's like a master class on Shakespeare," she said.

TALLAHASSEE — Under a new law, abortions will be illegal in Florida at any point in a woman's pregnancy if her doctor determines that the fetus could survive outside the womb.
Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill Friday that redefines that state's current third trimester abortion ban.
Current law prohibits abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy unless the mother's life is at risk. The new law will require women to have a doctor determine whether a fetus is viable before having an abortion.
The law takes effect July 1. It keeps an exception if a mother's life is at risk or to prevent irreversible physical impairment of a mother's major bodily function.
