SANAA, Yemen (AP) — Shiite rebels have defeated one of Yemen's strongest tribes after weeks of fighting between the two groups over territory in the northwest part of the country, spokesmen for both sides said Sunday.
Mohammed Abdel Salaam, a representative of the Hawthi rebels, said that his group was in complete control of the contested area in Amran province
In recent days, at least 150 militants have died in battles over two villages, Houth and Khamra. A government-backed cease-fire failed to stop the fighting. Officials said tribesman from the Hawthis' rivals, the Hashid, had asked for reinforcements from Sunni ultraconservatives.
Hawthi leaders announced the victory early Sunday, after reinforcements arrived from the Hawthi-controlled region of Saada on Saturday.
Gameel al-Hashidi, a leader of the Hashid, confirmed that the area, a traditional stronghold of his tribe, had been taken over by the Hawthis. Tribe members also said that the house of a prominent sheik there had been burned.
Shiite Yemenis began a rebellion nearly a decade ago in the northern city of Saada, complaining of marginalization. Thousands were killed on both sides. The rebels are often referred to as Hawthis after their spiritual leader, cleric Hussein Badr Eddin al-Hawthi, who led the 2004 uprising and was killed later that year.
The former rebels are taking part in the country's six-month National Dialogue, which aims at getting all Yemen's rival groups, political parties, religious and tribal leaders together to discuss a new political system for the country before drafting a constitution.

Has anyone had experience with these holsters, they seem very nice and are reasonably priced. These are not the MDT Kydex holsters. Thanks.

Yes, I had Mark make me a SOB holster for my HK compact some time last year. His service is great, his products are great. He took the time to make the holster just how I wanted it, and when I got it I was VERY happy with it. I have some kydex holsters and they are ok, but there is nothing like a good leather holster. Mark makes great leather holsters. I would recomend them to all of my friends, and I plan to buy more from him in the future.

I ordered a BS-2 for my SIG 228 & and a pocket holdster for my Tomcat from Mark THG. Got 'em a couple weeks ago. The fit, finish, and workmanship are all first rate, the BS-2 is comfortable to wear and it really tucks the SIG in so that it's quite discrete under a suitcoat or heavy jacket. The pocket holster works well, too, but I think I'd ask for heavier leather next time, as the foot/hook could be a bit stiffer for my tastes. I took advantage of his webpage 'specials' on the BS-2/belt/mag carrier to try him out, and I'm very happy I did. I think Mark provides a quality product at a very fair price. M2

Mark from M/D enterprises makes a really nice holster, and his customer service is first rate. He is a regular poster on another gun board and through the info he gave about types of leather and holster design really won me over to try him out. I have a BS-2 for a Taurus snubbie and it is just beautiful. It is a very compact and holds the gun close and securely. I went with the Cordovan color and it is absolutely beautiful. He took a lot of time answering questions that I had. He also made a Sure Fire carrier that is on my hip as I write this. You won't be sorry if you go with one of Mark's holsters. Chris

I have 4 holsters from Mark and 2 more on order. He does first rate work at a reasonable price. He sells a holster that I designed called the YCS which is the finest IWB holster made, IMHO. Check out his web site. www.gunandgold.com

One thing to be keenly aware of is that internet marketing is a doubleedge sword. A satisfied customer will help pass the word. A disatisfied customer will rarley let you know. usually the first thing you find is that you are getting flamed all over the net. We "Internet " shooters are a moderatly small group. many of the people who frequent the BBS's (is that right) post on multiple boards. I don't think any of us who have a business commitment to the internet can really afford not to take the best care possible of our customers. My business philosophy is " If you like my products tell others. If you have a problem tell me" ....Mark THG

I just got a BS-2 for my Glock 30. The craftmanship that goes into the leather really shows. All the outline of the Glock can be seen on the outside of the holster. The BS-2 hugs the gun very snuggly and keeps the weapon up close to the body and high. The muzzle is just a little lower than the belt. I'd recommend this holster to anyone looking for a concealed carry holster. And the customer service is excellent!!!

There's an old saying that goes, "A happy customer wil tell 3-4 people, an unhappy one will tell a dozen". The paradox in this is that they rarely tell the person who is most likely to be able to help them - that is the person they bought from.
Maybe its human nature. In some cases, people don't want to be confrontational (usually no need to be, just be adult), other times they didn't understand what they were buying and don't want to look foolish or admit they didn't know what they were doing (this is going to be a bigger problem as we do more e-commerce, i.e. because you can't examine the goods except on screen and online catalogs can be less than fully informative). Sometimes things just don't meet your expectations (nobody's fault). Reputable merchants understand all this and will work with a customer to insure satisfaction.
In the spirit of fair play, if something isn't right (for whatever reason), you ought to allow the other party an opportunity to make it right. If they won't work with you, then you have a legitimate reason to take your business elsewhere.
Sorry for the lecture, and to make a long story longer, the reason I bought from Mark was the great word-of-mouth on that 'other' board and the amount of time Mark spends answering questions and educating the marketplace (without pandering for business). Ya gotta like a guy who invests in his customers.
Marketing 101: In order to manage expectations, it is essential to help create them.

Mike, Your 200% right. If people have a problem they should go the source. I'll do everything possible to correct the situation. there have been plenty of times I've had to lose money on someone in order to satisfy the customer. That's just a part of doing business. There are on the other hand people who request custom work or exotics that make a lot of money for me. That helps to offset the losses. ......Mark THG

An official assessment of the damage caused by news leaks about government surveillance programs suggests that terrorist groups are changing their communication methods in response to the disclosures, according to officials at the National Security Agency.
Shortly after former NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked top-secret documents concerning the agency's foreign surveillance operations, Keith Alexander, director of the NSA, said the disclosures had caused "irreversible and significant damage." He ordered a thorough investigation into how the leaks occurred and what effect they would have on agency operations.
The damage assessment, which NSA officials describe as the biggest such effort ever undertaken in the U.S. intelligence community, is said to confirm Alexander's judgment.
Among the most noticeable initial effects of the leaks, however, may simply be that they prompted NSA leaders to divert agency resources from intelligence missions to security reforms and the investigation itself.
"We've devoted a lot of people to looking at the impact of what we think Snowden took, so it's people off task," says Richard Ledgett, the NSA official leading the leaks investigation.
Leaks May Prompt New Communication Methods
Intelligence officials say Snowden had access to a file-sharing location on the NSA's internal website and was able to copy secret documents stored there in part because he was responsible for moving the documents to a more secure location. Among those documents were memoranda and reports detailing how the agency monitors telephone and email data with a foreign connection.
The biggest concern, NSA officials say, is that foreign individuals or groups targeted for surveillance may now switch to more secure communication methods.
"If there is disclosure that NSA can do this thing or that thing, then they can take action to close that vulnerability. That denies us the ability to see the foreign intelligence threat," Ledgett says. "We're beginning to see that."
Assessing possible responses to the NSA disclosures, however, can be a complicated exercise. Even if terrorist groups change their means of communication, NSA surveillance programs may still serve a purpose.
"The question then becomes whether the existence of the program causes their operations to proceed more slowly, become more difficult, with less chance for real-time command and control," Ledgett says.
When Osama bin Laden learned the NSA was monitoring his satellite telephone, for example, he switched to sending messages by courier. The messages couldn't be intercepted, but the change meant bin Laden's communications became slower and more cumbersome as a result.
Expediting Planned Reforms
Another effect of Snowden's disclosures on NSA operations has been that agency leaders have chosen to expedite planned security reforms, as part of an effort to prevent future leaks. The agency has begun consolidating databases, moving them from separate repositories into large data centers where cloud analysis can be employed. The data are to be "tagged" with restrictions so that analysts not qualified or authorized to review the information will not be able to access it.
"We've had to do things that we had planned to do over the next three or four years and move them dramatically to the left," says the NSA's chief information officer, Lonny Anderson. "We haven't asked for additional resources. We've just said, 'We've got to do this.' So something gives, because we're not getting additional resources. And what gives, for us, is mission."
The NSA mission is intelligence gathering.
"We have to make sure we don't cross a line where we're so busy locking down the networks that we're not defending the nation," Anderson says. "That's the fine line we walk."
Such adaptations, however, are minor. The Snowden leaks and the resulting controversy have not yet prompted the NSA to rethink its whole surveillance operation.
"It hasn't caused any major right or left turns yet in the path the organization is taking," Ledgett says, though he notes that such changes would not be evident in the short term in any case.
To the disappointment of privacy advocates, there is little evidence that NSA leaders are reconsidering the propriety of their surveillance operations in light of all the objections raised in recent weeks.
"I haven't seen yet any willingness to reconsider the policies themselves," says Jameel Jaffer, director of the Center for Democracy at the American Civil Liberties Union.
"But in my view," he continues, "that's exactly what should be going on. The NSA should be part of this conversation about how broad government surveillance policies ought to be, and thus far all I've seen from the NSA is a kind of defensiveness about the programs that have been put in place."
Jaffer notes, however, that it is ultimately up to Congress and the White House to implement changes in the NSA's surveillance authority. On that, NSA leaders agree. "That's a policy decision," says Ledgett, "and we don't make that call. We operate within policy constraints."
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish. "Irreversible and significant damage to U.S. national security" - those words from Gen. Keith Alexander, director of the NSA. He was describing the result of repeated leaks by former contractor Edward Snowden.
Since then, the agency has been considering whether it has to modify its approach to intelligence-gathering. NPR's Tom Gjelten recently raised that question with NSA leaders.
TOM GJELTEN, BYLINE: The Snowden leaks so upset leaders of the U.S. intelligence community that they felt compelled to launch a massive damage assessment, to find out what effect the disclosures would have on intelligence operations. One official says it's by far the biggest such effort ever undertaken.
At the NSA, the assessment has been led by Richard Ledgett, formerly the director of the agency's Threat Operations Center. He says the big concern is that potential terrorists, whose conversations were subject to NSA surveillance, might change to more secure communication now that details of the surveillance programs have been revealed.
RICHARD LEDGETT: If there's disclosure that, you know, NSA can do this thing or that thing or that thing, then they can take action to close that vulnerability.
GJELTEN: But even if terrorists do change their means of communication because of what they find out about NSA surveillance methods, the intercept program, Ledgett says, might still serve a purpose.
LEDGETT: The question then becomes whether the existence of the program causes their operations to proceed more slowly or more difficult, less chance for real-time command and control.
GJELTEN: For example, when Osama bin Laden learned the NSA was monitoring his satellite phone, he started sending messages by courier instead. The messages could not be intercepted, but the change meant bin Laden's communications after that were slower and more cumbersome.
Ledgett says there is one way the Snowden leaks have clearly affected NSA operations: The damage assessment itself has kept NSA employees from doing their regular intelligence work.
LEDGETT: We've devoted a lot of people to looking at the impact of what we think Snowden took. So it's people off task.
GJELTEN: Off task because NSA people got reassigned from intelligence work to investigative work. NSA resources have also been diverted into beefing up security at the agency to prevent future leaks. The agency is now tagging data with restrictions so that analysts aren't able to access the data unless they have the right training, for example.
Lonny Anderson, the NSA's chief information officer, says the change was already in the works before the Snowden disclosures, but it got speeded up. That move cost money the NSA had not planned on spending.
LONNY ANDERSON: We haven't asked for additional resources. We've just said, we've got to do this. So something gives because we're not getting additional resources. So at this point, what gives for us is mission.
GJELTEN: The NSA mission is intelligence gathering, now in danger of taking a backseat to security reforms, Anderson says.
ANDERSON: We have to make sure that we don't cross a line where we're so busy locking down the networks that we're not busy defending the nation.
GJELTEN: The Snowden episode, then, has forced the NSA to adapt. But Richard Ledgett, the chief leak investigator, says it has not prompted the NSA to rethink its whole surveillance operation - not yet, anyway.
LEDGETT: It hasn't caused any major right or left turns yet, in the path the organization is taking, but those things tend to take longer to resolve.
GJELTEN: So no redesign of the surveillance architecture; nor has there been any rethinking of the propriety of NSA surveillance activities in light of objections raised by privacy advocates. Jameel Jaffer, who directs the Center for Democracy at the American Civil Liberties Union, wishes NSA leaders paid more attention to the criticism of their surveillance operation.
JAMEEL JAFFER: I haven't seen yet any willingness to reconsider the policies themselves. But in my view, that's exactly what should be going on. The NSA should be part of this conversation about how broad government surveillance policies ought to be. And thus far, all I've seen from the NSA is a kind of defensiveness about the programs that have been put in place.
GJELTEN: Jaffer says it's ultimately up to Congress and the White House to consider changes in the NSA's surveillance authority. On that, NSA leaders agree. That's a policy decision, says Richard Ledgett, and we don't make that call.

– Most Lehigh Valley federal lawmakers are joining a chorus of concerns about how federal officials are responding to the Ebola crisis, calling for restricting travel from the affected countries and better coordination among agencies.
Republican Reps. Lou Barletta, Mike Fitzpatrick and Charlie Dent have called for varying limits on who is coming into the country from Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea.
Republican Sen. Pat Toomey says he also believes there should be tighter restrictions on travel from Ebola-stricken countries, and is seeking more information about why a travel ban has not been enacted.

Man burned in North Hampton camper fireBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
June 17. 2013 10:20AM
NORTH HAMPTON — A man was seriously burned this morning when a camper went up in flames at the Shel-Al campground.
Fire Chief Dennis Cote said the victim was inside the camper and was rescued by a woman cleaning windows at the campground at 115 Lafayette Road.
"She heard something odd, turned around and the camper was burning and she pulled him out as soon as she noticed him standing there. It was pretty heroic," Cote said.
The victim, whose name hasn't been released, was walking around outside the camper when firefighters arrived, Cote said.
The camper was heavily damaged in the blaze, which broke out around 9 a.m.
The victim was transported to Exeter Hospital, and he was expected to be flown by medical helicopter to a Boston hospital.
The cause of the fire is not known. The state Fire Marshal's Office has been called in to investigate, Cote said.
Cote said he did not know the extent of the victim's burns, but he called them "substantial."
"It's too early to tell. When you burn, you continue to until you get the body cooled down," Cote said.

What is Your Lobster IQ?
Everything you ever wanted to know about lobster! (Or almost everything!)
Today, many people consider lobster a delicacy. In fact, you have to pay dearly for a really good lobster feast. However, lobsters were once so plentiful that Native Americans used them as fertilizer and fish bait! Also, in Colonial times they were considered poverty food and served to children and indentured servants. Stories have been told that children who brought lobster sandwiches to school were considered the poor kids.
Lobsters are not fish, nor mammal, but rather they are arthropods, closely related to insects! Lobsters, like insects, belong to the invertebrate family. These two-clawed marine creatures have one claw that is called the pincer and the other is called the crusher. An interesting fact about claws: lobsters, like humans, can be right or left handed, depending on whether its crusher claw is on the right or left side of its body. Most live lobsters are greenish. Lobsters are not red until cooked. All pigment that make up a lobster shell are destroyed by the heat when cooked, except the red.
Lobster is healthy for you. it contains iron, zinc, calcium and iodine, as well as vitamins A, B and B6. It has no saturated fat and is low in cholesterol and calories. Now that you know lobsters are good for you, call the Captain Lord Mansion to make an early spring reservation and plan a lobster feast vacation! With winter over and lobster prices coming down, Bev and I are looking forward to sampling some of this delicacy real soon! Rick Litchfield, your innkeeper P.S.

Born 1928 in Israel.
The father of kinetic art, Agam pioneered a new form of art which emphasizes movement and changing form. He rejected traditional concepts of painting and sculpture to bring his brilliant color and moving form to life. His first one person show in Paris in 1953 was a great success and he is now one of the most influential and well known contemporary artists. He has created a body of work that allows the viewer to participate in the work by moving past the pieces or by changing the angle of viewing. He is collected worldwide and is on displays at major museums around the world.
Yaacov Agam was born into a Jewish Orthodox family. His father was a rabbi in Rishon le Zion (a small village in Israel). Agam's father devoted his life to teaching and learning, meditation, and fasting. He wrote several books on Jewish spiritual values and was deeply immersed in the study of the Kabbalah (t he study of the sacred invisible hidden divinities). Agam considers himself as his father's spiritual continuant in his devotion to the study of the Jewish themes of universal spirituality.

ENGS 171: Industrial Ecology
By studying the flow of materials and energy through industrial systems, industrial ecology identifies economic ways to lessen negative environmental impacts, chiefly by reducing pollution at the source, minimizing energy consumption, designing for the environment, and promoting sustainability. The objective of this course is to examine to what extent environmental concerns have already affected specific industries, and where additional progress can be made. With the emphasis on technology as a source of both problems and solutions, a broad spectrum of industrial activities is reviewed ranging from low-design high-volume to high-design low-volume products.
Student activities include a critical review of current literature, participation in class discussion, and a term project in design for the environment.

The Mark of the Beast...
why not just barcode them, or use rfid implants under the skin, or tattoo "666" on their foreheads?
it ain't no joke.
The UK's proposed child database has been delayed after "feedback from stakeholders" and not obviously in response to the government's loss of the UK's child benefit database on two CDs. ContactPoint will contain details on every child in the UK including name, address, gender and a unique identifying number. The database will …
why not just barcode them, or use rfid implants under the skin, or tattoo "666" on their foreheads?
it ain't no joke.
"...including name, address, gender and a unique identifying number."
What about the implanted RFID-Tag number and DNA signature?
Till? 'Til?
Hmmm.... </pedant>
Why not - we do it to cats and dogs? Then the government can work out which kids are playing truant by using the networked readers they install on every lamppost and roadsign.
Of course after 60 years or so everyone will be tagged so we wont need those ID cards.
—Usage note
Till and until are both old in the language and are interchangeable as both prepositions and conjunctions: It rained till (or until) nearly midnight. The savannah remained brown and lifeless until (or till) the rains began. Till is not a shortened form of until and is not spelled 'till. 'Til is usually considered a spelling error, though widely used in advertising: Open 'til ten.
due to the way this goverment keeps messing up has made me feel like not having kids and i for one refuse to let them tag any child of mine so they can keep track of what we do.
our goverment needs to GTFO
Is this the kind of stake that can be used to terminate the minister responsible for this silly idea :=)
It'd make you several thousend pounds lighter, or in jail, under the current ID card plans.
Have you joined No2ID ? :-)
This would be somewhat justifiable if the authorities were able to make use of the data they already have in a useful manner.
I served on my local council for a number of years, and was on the housing committee. Time and again we would have an "urgent housing" request come on from the social services people at the county council. The reason: a youngster was turning 16 and therefore coming out of care, needing to be housed. Whatever your feelings about whether 16 year olds should be taking council flats, the fact that, time and again, Social Services were taken by surprise by a 16th birthday was as vexing as it was hilarious.
But lets not try to make people actually do their jobs, no we'll put in place "systems" which will also be taken by surprise by 16th birthdays, despite assembling the most potent honeypot for all classes of villains. I get so pissed off by the "safeguards will be put in place to prevent unauthorised access" mantra. Of course, it's never been known for someone with "authorised access" to misuse data, no siree.
All this "security review" will do is throw up a load of "recommendations" which gummint will then claim to have acted on, the action actually being to say "we have added useless safeguards" and doing nothing, just blundering on down the same path. Oh, and feed a few million quid into the pockets of another bunch of "IT Security Charlatans".
As I live abroad, can someone tell me if this 'child database' is to be compulsory?
And, does anyone know what the proposed penalty is for refusing to provide a child's details for inclusion in the database?
£40m in funding should be enough to buy some Verbatim blank CDs and whip off a few more copies of the database!
I'll even do it for them and charge them at Crapita/EDS/PwC rates!
I think they're missing the bank details. Unless that's included in the details of all organisations the child has had dealings with.
> As I live abroad, can someone tell me if this 'child database' is to be compulsory?
Not sure about the compulsory part (quite probably, though) - but it's certainly already covert. Witness reports of kids being coerced into providing fingerprints without reference to parents, so they can use the school library. (reported here on ElReg, IIRC)
Once upon a time a card provided by the teacher was enough for library use.
I suspect the child database is compulsory - by dint of the fact that in the UK you have to register a birth within six weeks. (A criminal offence not to, IIRC)
Of course, as with all licensing/registration requirements, in order to work it does rather rely on the non-law abiding being, errr, law abiding.
Rioting in the streets please, or at the very least more people donating to no2id.

Tuniq Ensemble 1200W Review
Without thinking, you install your latest upgrade, an ultra super extreme graphics card, and fire up your gaming machine. Everything seems fine, the new drivers install like a dream and your new hardware is ready for use. You up the eye candy and prepare yourself for an evening of carnage on your favourite game. After thirty minutes the artifacts start, or worst still BSOD. What's the problem? Did you consider the power requirements of your latest addition? Perhaps it's time to upgrade your power supply.
The power requirements of today's high end gaming rigs are on the rise due mainly to the ever increasing needs of the latest graphics cards. The manufacturer of this hardware would have you believe you need a minature nuclear power station inside your PC, especially if you have a multi GPU setup with SLI or Crossfire. The actual power requirements of these systems are in my opinion debatable, but that's not why we are here today. Let's have a closer look at one of these minature nuclear power stations.
The Ensemble is one of the latest offerings from Tuniq, a division of Sunbeam Technology. Probably better known for its cooling solutions and cases, this power supply is available as a 1000 or 1200 watt version. We will be taking a closer look at the latter and putting it through its paces. I suspect it will prove more than capable of handling any high end gaming machine with plenty of room to spare, but let's see how well it performs.
Closer Look:
The packaging uses a basic black and white theme with just a splash of color on the side panel photograph and rear panel graphs. Some would say boring and if you enjoy color, you won't enjoy this box. The first thing you see is a low resolution and slightly out of focus photograph of the Ensemble with a claim that the power supply is Super High Efficient (87%). We will test that later. The information on the packaging is kept to a minimum; photograph of the power supply on the front, features and small noise graphs on the rear, specification on one side panel and a photograph of the power supply with a list of the leads and connectors. I like the minimalist scheme, just enough information to get you interested and give you the impression that the power supply will speak for itself.
On opening the box, there isn't really too much to see. A box containing the accessories, another enclosing the leads, both bearing the Tuniq logo and a thick foam insert over the power supply. Lift off the foam insert and the power supply is further protected by a thin sheet of foam, presumably to protect the unit against scratching. All in all, very well packaged.
Along with the Ensemble you get a power cord, instruction manual, cable ties and four power supply mounting screws. The manual is badly translated and of questionable layout, but the essential information is present. The Ensemble also includes a set of adapter leads, which I will talk about later.

Arguments for educating women, 1735
View this item in the Collection.
On May 19, 1735, John Peter Zenger republished this essay in the New-York Weekly Journal. Originally printed in the Guardian, a British periodical, the two-page essay supports the education of women "of Quality or Fortune." The author, probably Joseph Addison, one of the founders of the Guardian, argued that women should be educated because they had more spare time than men, they had a natural gift for speech, they were responsible for educating their children, and they needed to keep busy. In addition, the article suggests that educated women were seen to be more suitable as "marriage material" by socially prominent men.
More importantly, the article declares that:
Learning and Knowledge are Perfections in us, not as we are Men, but as we are reasonable Creatures, in which Order, of Beings the Female World is upon the same level with the Male. We ought to consider in this Particular, not what is the Sex, but what is the Species to which they belong.
A transcript of the excerpts is available.
New-York Weekly Journal, May 19, 1735. (GLC07336)]
I Have often wondered that Learning is not thought a proper Ingredient in the Education of a Woman of Quality or Fortune. Since they have the same improvable Minds as the male Part of the Species, why should they not be cultivated by the same Method? Why should Reason be left to it self in one of the Sexes, and be disciplined with so much Care in the other.
There are Reasons why Learning seems more adapted to the female World, than to the Male. As in the first Place, because they have more spare Time upon their Hands, and lead a more sedentary Life. Their Employments are of a domestic Nature, and not like those of the other Sex, which are often inconsistent with Study and Contemplation. . . .
A Second Reason why Women should apply themselves to useful Knowledge rather than Men, is because they have that natural Gift of Speech in greater Perfection. Since they have so excellent a Talent, such a Copia Verborum, or Plenty of Words, 'tis Pity they should not put it to some Use. If the female Tongue will be in Motion, why should it not be set to go right? Could they discourse about the Spots in the Sun, it might divert them from publishing the Faults of their Neighbours. . . .
There is another Reason why those especially who are Women of Quality, should apply themselves to Letters, because their Husbands are generally Strangers to them. . . .
Learning and Knowledge are Perfections in us, not as we are Men, but as we are reasonable Creatures, in which Order, of Beings the Female World is upon the same Level with the Male. We ought to consider in this Particular, not what is the Sex, but what is the Species to which they belong. . . .

The strangest part of this story may be that in the middle of World War II, 74-year-old British author H.G. Wells took a train to Texas to speak to a meeting of the United States Brewers Assn. I can't quite figure out why he was tapped to speak there; perhaps he simply liked beer.
By 1940, Wells had published almost all of his fiction, his fantastical works helped shape science fiction that would come later. Some of his most lasting works, all written before 1900, include "The Time Machine," "The Island of Doctor Moreau," "The Invisible Man" and "The War of the Worlds."
In 1938, "The War of the Worlds" was revised and adapted by a young New York theater director for a radio play: Orson Welles. When it was broadcast, some people didn't realize it was fiction; they actually thought Martians had landed in New Jersey. The sensation that followed made Welles a star.
San Antonio radio station KTSA brought Welles and Wells together for a conversation that was broadcast on Oct. 28, 1940. "I had a series of delightful experiences since I came to America," says Wells, "but the best thing that has happened so far is meeting my little namesake here, Orson." The author then suggests that his American counterpart drop the extra "e" from Welles.
I did the inverse when I tweeted Wednesday about Geoff Nicholson treading in H.G. Wells' footsteps, as well as Edgar Allen Poe's, at the L.A. Review of Books. I added an "e" to H.G.'s name where it didn't belong, then corrected myself about 30 seconds later, noting that I meant the British author, not Orson, the filmmaker.
That's when Jonathan Shipley, a kind stranger, noted that Wells and Welles once met, pointing me to the audio file of the interview. (Apparently this was also making the rounds in October 2011, but I was, shockingly, away from the Internet that day and missed it.)
It's pretty amusing that the person who created the YouTube video with the audio file also mixed up Wells and Welles -- he drops the "e," just as Wells suggested.
The interview took place before the release of Welles' magnum opus, "Citizen Kane." Etymologists take note: the reedy-voiced, amused-sounding Wells makes room for Welles to speak promotionally about the movie. Welles says, "This is the kindest and most gracious possible theing to do: Mr. Wells is making it possible for me to do what in America is spoken of as a 'plug.'" Plugging ensues.

A man killed when a car went off of southbound state Highway 17 and rolled down a hill near Los Gatos Tuesday afternoon has been identified by the Santa Clara County medical examiner's office as 25-year-old Kevin Rocha.
Rocha, of Capitola, was driving on southbound Highway 17, near Alma College Road, south of Los Gatos, when he went off the roadway for unknown reasons and tumbled about 100 feet down a hillside at about 5:10 p.m., the California Highway Patrol said.
The CHP said that Rocha's was the only car involved in the crash.
Rocha was pronounced dead at the scene.
The lanes were closed for several hours while the CHP investigated the crash.

Advisory Opinions
Reporting expenditures made pursuant to a contract to monitor the
legislature when the contract is converted into a contract to lobby
Indiana Lobby Registration Commission
(Determination made at public meeting on November 13, 1997)
(Ratification at public meeting of March 24, 1998)
Chairman Bepko - yes
Vice-Chairman Krahulik - yes
Commissioner Hicks - yes
Commissioner Abbs - yes
Questions and written comments may be directed to Indiana Lobby Registration Commission, 115 W. Washington, Suite 1375 S., Indianapolis, IN 46204 (317) 232-9860
Expenditures made pursuant to a contract to monitor the legislature do not have to be reflected in the reporting figures when that contract is converted into a contract to lobby.
Lobbyist "A" is paid by Client "C" to monitor the legislature. During the session A tells C that there is legislation being considered which affects C. C agrees to have A lobby on its behalf and the original agreement between A and C is modified to r eflect such. A actively lobbies for C.
The Commission determined in Proposed Advisory Opinion 97-06 that, "[a]n agent who merely monitors the action of the legislature is not communicating with the legislators." As such, it was agreed that when there is a contract only to monitor the legis lature, there is no duty to report as a lobbyist. It is only when lobbying occurs, or when a contract for lobbying exists (Proposed Advisory Opinion 97-03), that there is an obligation to register and report.
Hence, only those expenditures related to the agreement to lobby are reportable expenditures. Expenditures related to the agreement to monitor are not reportable.

GAUHATI, India — Adolf Hitler is running for election in India. So is Frankenstein.
The tiny northeast Indian state of Meghalaya has a special fascination for interesting and sometimes controversial names, and the ballot for state elections Saturday is proof.
Among the 345 contestants running for the state assembly are Frankenstein Momin, Billykid Sangma, Field Marshal Mawphniang and Romeo Rani. Some, like Kenedy Marak, Kennedy Cornelius Khyriem and Jhim Carter Sangma, are clearly hoping for the electoral success of their namesake American presidents.
Then there is Hitler.
This 54-year-old father of three has won three elections to the state assembly with little controversy over being named after the Nazi dictator.
His father had worked with the British army, but apparently developed enough of a fascination with Great Britain's archenemy to name his son Adolf Hitler — though he also gave him the middle name Lu, Hitler said.
"I am aware at one point of time Adolf Hitler was the most hated person on Earth for the genocide of the Jews. But my father added 'Lu' in between, naming me Adolf Lu Hitler, and that's why I am different," Hitler told The Associated Press from the small village of Mansingre, 125 miles west of Gauhati, the capital of the nearby state of Assam.
Hitler said his name has not stopped him from traveling the world, including to the United States and Germany.
"I never had problems obtaining a visa but I was asked many times during immigration as to why I should have such a name. I told the immigration staff I possibly didn't have a role in my naming," he said.
India played little role in World War II, and many Indians view Hitler not as the personification of evil but as a figure of fascination. Hitler's book "Mein Kampf" is prominently displayed at many Indian bookstores. The owner of a menswear shop named his store "Hitler," then expressed puzzlement last year after Israel complained.
Musfika Haq, a teacher in Meghalaya's capital, Shillong, said such names are common in the state.
"Parents obviously get fascinated by names of well-known or great leaders, but must be unaware that some of them, like Hitler, had been highly controversial," he said.

Last month, in "Inside Search Arguments," I discussed specific types of search arguments—which I call SARGs—that are most beneficial to the query optimizer when it's determining the best execution plan for a query. In most of the examples I used, if the query didn't contain a SARG that included a specific column, SQL Server wouldn't consider any indexes on that column for the query plan.
Even if the query contains a valid SARG, the optimizer sometimes can't determine the best plan because it can't use the statistics-histogram information during optimization. This can happen when the value the query is comparing to the column is an expression that the optimizer can't evaluate. In these cases, SQL Server has to wait for the execution phase before it can resolve the expression's value.
A common situation in which the optimizer can't use statistics occurs when you're comparing a column to a variable. This month, I look at how the optimizer works with variables. In addition, I examine another SARG construct—stored-procedure parameters—that looks very much like using variables. We'll see how differently the optimizer treats variables and parameters.
Getting Started
To run this month's sample code, you need the same modified Orders table that we used last month. The code in Listing 1 recreates the NewOrders table and builds two unique indexes: one on the Number column and one on the OrderID column. After running Listing 1's code, use the following code to build one more index, a nonunique index on the CustomerID column:
CREATE INDEX customerID_index ON NewOrders(CustomerID)
Before we look at the effect of variables on optimization, consider the following two queries on the NewOrders table:
SELECT * FROM NewOrders WHERE CustomerID = 'DUMON' SELECT * FROM NewOrders WHERE CustomerID = 'OCEAN'
The first query returns 20 rows, and the second returns 25 rows. Looking at the query plans for each, you'll see that the first plan uses a seek on the CustomerID index and the second uses a table scan. So the optimizer decided that a result somewhere between 20 and 25 rows was too large for effective index use and that scanning the table would be more efficient.
Besides checking the query plan, you can compare the difference between these two queries by looking at the number of logical reads each required. Turn on the STATISTICS IO option, then execute the preceding two queries again. You should see that the query using the index seek took 22 logical reads and the one using the table scan took 107 reads—the number of pages in the table. If you force the optimizer to use the index on CustomerID, you might find that the resulting plan requires fewer reads—in this case, 27:
SELECT * FROM NewOrders WITH (INDEX = customerID_index) WHERE CustomerID = 'OCEAN'
Keep in mind that the number of page accesses isn't the only cost affecting the optimizer's choices. With an index seek, the data access is random, but a table scan can employ an extent-by-extent sequential read of the table. This type of scan is frequently quite efficient. If you force the optimizer to use the index on the following example, which uses a different search value, you can see how bad an idea overriding the optimizer can be:
SELECT * FROM NewOrders WHERE CustomerID = 'SAVEA' SELECT * FROM NewOrders(INDEX = customerID_index) WHERE CustomerID = 'SAVEA'
When you don't force the optimizer to use the index, a search for the CustomerID value SAVEA takes 107 reads, but when you force the index, SQL Server needs 157 reads.
Variable Processing
Now let's look at how the query optimizer processes variables. Consider the following batch:
SET STATISTICS IO ON DECLARE @name nchar(10) SET @name = 'DUMON' SELECT * FROM NewOrders WHERE CustomerID = @name
The query plan shows that the optimizer chose a table scan. If you run the query and look at the statistics, you'll see 107 reads. Although you have a valid SARG in the SELECT statement, when the optimizer evaluates the query, it hasn't yet executed the SET statement that assigns the specific value to the variable. The optimizer optimizes the entire batch at once. You can't put the variable assignment in a separate batch because the scope of a local variable is one batch. Because the optimizer doesn't know what value to look for in the index-statistics histogram, it has to guess. In this case, the estimate is too large for the index to be useful.
In general, the optimizer uses certain rules to produce an estimate when it can't use the index statistics. If the SARG contains an open range (it's looking for the column to be greater than or less than an unknown value), the optimizer estimates that 30 percent of the rows in the table will satisfy the condition. If the SARG contains a closed range (a BETWEEN clause or two overlapping AND conditions), the optimizer guesses that 25 percent of the rows in the table will satisfy the condition. If the SARG contains an equality comparison, the optimizer tries to use the density information in the index statistics; if that's impossible, it guesses that 10 percent of the rows in the table will satisfy the condition.
In most of these cases, the rule-based estimate is too large for the optimizer to consider using an index. In my experience, the optimizer usually doesn't consider using a nonclustered index unless it estimates that only a tiny percentage of the rows in the table will need accessing. That number is usually around 1 or 2 percent, but it can be even smaller.
What Was That Again?
So what's the solution to the problem of poor optimization when a query contains a variable? One possibility is to consider using stored procedures with parameters instead of using an ad hoc query with a variable. So to run the preceding SELECT statement, you could create the following procedure:
CREATE PROC getOrders ( @name nchar(10) ) AS SELECT * FROM NewOrders WHERE CustomerID = @name
Although the SELECT statement in this procedure looks identical to the previous statement that contains variables, SQL Server processes the two very differently. In this case, the optimizer won't determine a query plan until the first time you execute the procedure. At execution time, you must pass in a specific value for the parameter @name. The optimizer will use that value to determine whether a useful index exists.
Let's say that I call the procedure with a parameter value that occurs very few times:
SET STATISTICS IO ON EXEC getOrders 'DUMON'
In this case, SQL Server uses the value DUMON to optimize the procedure's SELECT statement. By looking at the query plan for this procedure call (which includes an index seek) or by looking at the number of logical reads (22—far fewer than the number of pages in the table), you can see that SQL Server was able to optimize for this specific value.
The good news—and the bad news—about using stored procedures is that SQL Server saves and reuses the query plan. All subsequent executions of this procedure will use the same plan as the first execution. So because the optimizer decided to use an index seek the first time you called the procedure, it will use an index seek every time you call the procedure, no matter what para-
meter you use. For example, if you now run
EXEC getOrders 'SAVEA'
you'll notice the plan for the first execution of the procedure isn't ideal for this second execution. IO statistics from executing the procedure with this new parameter show 157 reads, more than for a table scan.
Similarly, if the parameter requires a table scan the first time you execute the procedure, then all subsequent executions will use a table scan. You can demonstrate this behavior for yourself by first running DBCC FREEPROCCACHE to clear all the saved procedure plans. (But don't run this command on a production server!) Now, call the procedure twice again, this time with the more frequently occurring parameter value first:
EXEC getOrders 'SAVEA' EXEC getOrders 'DUMON'
If you're still watching STATISTICS IO, you should see 107 page reads for both queries, meaning that they're both using a table scan, even though the second execution would perform much better with an index seek.
One solution to consider when plan reuse doesn't give the best performance is forcing SQL Server to recompile the procedure's plan. You can force a recompile for one execution as follows:
EXEC getOrders 'DUMON' WITH RECOMPILE
SQL Server won't save the plan it generates for such an execution because using WITH RECOMPILE tells SQL Server that you want the plan for this execution only. Alternatively, you can create (or recreate) the procedure to recompile with every execution, like this:
ALTER PROC getOrders ( @name nchar(10) ) WITH RECOMPILE AS SELECT * FROM NewOrders WHERE CustomerID = @name
In this case, SQL Server won't save any plan but instead will generate a new one each time the procedure runs.
If you know that your parameter values might vary widely and require different plans for almost every execution, consider using the WITH RECOMPILE option when creating certain procedures. However, keep in mind that you'll lose all the cost savings of not having to recompile. For complex procedures, recompilation (which includes optimization) can be an expensive and time-consuming process, so you need to weigh the advantages of always getting an ideal query plan against the cost of the recompilation.
Variable Parameters
In one other situation, even recompiling the procedure might not be a good solution. Consider a procedure that receives a parameter, then manipulates the parameter before using it. You're treating the parameter like a variable, and when compiling the procedure, SQL Server won't know the final value of the parameter. However, in this case, it assumes that the value it will be using is the initial parameter value. Here's a simple example:
ALTER PROC getOrders ( @name nchar(10) ) AS SET @name = 'SAVEA' SELECT * FROM NewOrders WHERE CustomerID = @name
Keep in mind that altering a procedure invalidates any cached plans, so the next execution will generate a new plan. The optimizer will still compile the plan based on the parameter, even though the parameter isn't the value that SQL Server ultimately uses during query execution. In the following code, I pass in a very selective parameter value, so the optimizer will determine that SQL Server can use an index:
EXEC getOrders 'DUMON'
By the time the SELECT statement executes, the value of the @name parameter has changed, but the optimizer has already generated the plan to use an index seek. You end up with the worst possible performance because SQL Server must use an index seek to access far too many rows.
In this case, recompiling doesn't help. No matter how many times you recompile, the optimizer will plan based on the parameter that you pass in, not on what happens to the parameter inside the procedure.
There's no easy solution that ensures that your procedures always generate the best plan without unnecessary recompilation. However, being aware of the problems is 80 percent of the solution. One simple recommen-
dation I can make is that you keep your parameters and your variables separate. If you want to manipulate a parameter, copy its value into a local variable inside the procedure, then manipulate the variable. That way, the optimizer knows it's working with a variable and won't assume the value is known.
All these situations assume that your WHERE clauses use SARGs on columns that have potentially useful indexes. The problem of non-optimal query plans arises when the optimizer can't use the index statistics, so it can't make an informed decision. If you don't have SARGs in your queries, the best indexes in the world won't help you, and you'll have the overhead of maintaining the indexes without ever getting to use them. Using actual SARGs in your WHERE clauses is an important first step in writing well-tuned queries and procedures.

Man Rescues Dog, Ends Up Getting Arrested For His Trouble
It is often said no good deed goes unpunished. Elvis Hernandez can tell you all about that.
The locksmith was on a job in Kerrville, Texas a few months ago when he noticed a dog wondering around in the middle of the street.
"It was cute. It was running in the middle of the road. He didn't have tags; didn't have a collar," Hernandez of the dachshund.
Being a dog lover, Hernandez took the pooch home after giving his customer his address so he could be contacted if anybody in the neighborhood claimed the dog.
Unfortunately the dachshund didn't get along with his other dogs. So after weeks had gone by, he gave the dog away.
And that's when the dog's orginal owner tracked Hernandez down. "I just explained to her that I didn't have it. I didn't know where it was, and I apologized," he said.
Apparently an apology wasn't good enough, because the woman contacted the police and Hernandez was arrested for theft of property.
He was booked in front of his children and has lost his locksmith license because of the arrest.
"Not only did they attack my name, they attacked my livelihood. And being a single dad with children it hurts a lot," Hernandez told KENS-TV.
While this all certainly sounds like an unfortunate situation, do you think an arrest was necessary?

The 40th anniversary of the Arab Oil Embargo offers a unique opportunity to reflect on four decades of developments in the energy sector in the United States and around the world. In many ways, the shock of the embargo helped reshape the world energy sector, yet four decades later many of the same problems faced in 1973 persist, especially in the United States.
To a large extent, fossil fuels continue to power global economic growth and energy security, and the competition for these resources remains a significant concern for governments around the world. Just as in 1973, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and the oil that its member states produce continue to be an undeniable force in global geopolitics. OPEC's hold over 81 percent of the world's proven crude reserves gives it a largely unchecked control over international oil prices, which it achieves by setting OPEC-wide production targets.
Although OPEC has played a key role on the production side of the international oil market over the past four decades, the consumer landscape has changed dramatically since 1973. Significant economic growth in the developing world has led to increasing competition for energy resources. Oil demand in developing countries topped demand in the industrialized nations of the OECD for the first time ever in April 2013, a drastic change from just a decade ago when all developing countries combined consumed only two-thirds of the oil used in OECD member states (by volume).
Led principally by rapid growth in China, who now rivals the United States as Saudi Arabia's largest client for oil exports, these developments have significantly altered international oil markets. In spite of rapidly growing global demand in emerging markets, OPEC's oil production remains at 30 million barrels per day, the same volume produced in 1973, contributing to prices per barrel that are 5.5 times higher than at the time of the embargo.
Despite the challenge of moving beyond fossil fuel dependence, the necessary technologies now exist at a commercially deployable scale and cost to ensure that the development pathways of the past do not need to be repeated. Renewable energy technologies are no longer "alternative" energy options; rather, they are mainstream energy sources that are increasingly meeting the energy needs of populations around the world. Likewise, around the world, natural gas is increasingly edging out dirtier burning fuels such as oil and coal.
For renewables, the cost barriers that existed 40 years ago are a thing of the past. The cost of solar pholtovoltaics (PV), for example, has decreased 99 percent since the late 1970s, falling from US$76.67 per watt in 1977 to US$0.74 per watt today. Cost reductions in solar PV and other renewable technologies have been met with notable increases in capacity. Modern renewables, including hydropower, now account for 9.7 percent of global final energy consumption and 21.7 percent of global electricity production. Non-hydro renewables now account for 5.2 percent of global electricity generation, up from less than half a percent at the end of the 1970s.
Even major fossil fuel exporters are beginning to recognize the benefits of renewables. Gulf States such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates have all set targets to develop new renewable energy capacity. Yet although renewables such as solar and wind can be critical tools in transitioning the global electricity sector away from oil, this is only one part of the larger challenge.
The U.S. experience over the past four decades shows the difficulty in completely transitioning away from petroleum fuels and achieving the politically important "energy independence" that has been espoused by all presidents since Richard Nixon. In certain ways, development within the country has come full circle. The United States was the world's largest oil producer in 1973 and, as of this month, it outpaced both Russia and Saudi Arabia to become the world's top oil and gas producer. Although oil from the Persian Gulf now accounts for only 9.6 percent of U.S. consumption, this is nearly 5 percent greater than at the time of the embargo. And despite growth in domestic production, the United States still remains dependent on fuel imports to satisfy over a third of its oil demand, the same share as in 1973.
Coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydropower, and to a lesser but growing degree other renewable technologies now provide 99 percent of U.S. electricity. Oil, however, continues to be used extensively in the transportation sector, where petroleum fuels account for 97 percent of the fuel mix. Because transportation is the country's second largest energy-consuming sector, this is quite significant.
Despite efforts to maximize the efficiency of fuel use in U.S. transportation, little emphasis has been placed on fuel switching, thus preserving oil's prevalence as a crucial component of the energy mix. Unfortunately, simply maximizing the efficiency of oil use in the transportation sector has not reduced U.S. price vulnerability. Although the United States has been successful at reducing demand for oil imports over the past decade, over the same time period the value of crude has increased fourfold, leading to a doubling of U.S. foreign oil expenditures.
Of course, 40 years removed from the Oil Embargo there are many reasons beyond energy security concerns to transition away from fossil fuels. The past 40 years of oil dependence in the energy sector have had an extremely detrimental impact on the global environment and is the major driver of climate change. With the impacts of climate change already being felt, it is clear that we don't have another four decades for a shift away from oil to occur.

Time of Poss.
The Albright College football team recovered from a slow start to defeat King's College in the Monarchs' Homecoming game, 48-29 on Saturday in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
Quarterback TJ Luddy completed 24-of-35 passes for 305 yards, 3 TDs and no interceptions. Seniors Daniel McNair (9 catches, 139 yards, TD) and Devron Clark (7 catches, 118 yards, TD) were his top targets. On the ground, freshman Brian Wickkiser rushed for 39 yards on six carries late in the game.
Senior Matt Pattison led the way with seven total tackles, including two in the backfield. Linebacker Sean Cunningham also had seven tackles.
Three touchdowns were scored in a stretch of 2:26 early in the second half, beginning with an 8-yard running score from Ty Hughes (89 rushing yards on 18 carries) that put the Red and White ahead 21-10.
Junior Chris Stephens blocked and recovered a punt in the end zone for a 28-10 Albright lead, but the Monarchs struck on the very next play. Quarterback Tyler Hartranft hit Dan Kempa over the top for an 84-yard score to make it 28-17.
Luddy found McNair down to the King's two yardline, and Hughes carried it in two plays later for a 35-17 scoreline.
In the fourth quarter, Luddy hit McNair for 45 yards, and then for five yards into the end zone, making it 41-23 Lions. Uriah Brickhouse would add a late score as well.
A pair of blocked kicks had kept the Monarchs in the game heading into halftime.
The Lions attempted a 51-yard field goal on the final play of the half, but Daniel Sobolewski's boot was knocked down by Tyler Struckus and returned the other way by Anthony Martuccio. The touchdown left Albright with just a 14-10 lead at the break.
The Lions had a 38-yard field goal attempt blocked on the game's opening drive. Kyle McGrath rushed for 47 yards inside the Albright 10-yard line, but the big play was called back on a holding penalty.
After King's opened the scoring with a first quarter field goal, Luddy found Josh MacLeod early in the second half for a touchdown and a 7-3 lead.
The Lions stalled on a fourth-and-one later in the second quarter, but got the ball back and scored on Luddy's 29-yard TD pass to Clark. After the Lions stopped a fourth down try in the dying seconds, Luddy hit Clark for 17 yards to set up Sobolewski's 51-yard try.
The Lions (2-2, 1-2) earn their first Middle Atlantic Conference victory of the season and will play next weekend at FDU-Florham. King's falls to 0-3, 0-2 on the year.
