Bin Laden's Infiltration Of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
By Ross E. Getman http://www.bloggernews.net/111298
a. Hardball Tactics In An Era Of Threats
A colleague of famed Russian bioweaponeer Ken Alibek and former USAMRIID head Charles Bailey, a prolific Ames strain researcher, has been convicted of sedition and sentenced to life in prison. He worked in a program co-sponsored by the American Type Culture Collection and had access to ATCC facilities, as well as facilities of the George Mason University Center for Biodefense. The Center for Biodefense was funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The Center was run by Dr. Alibek and Dr. Bailey. The bionformatics grad student once had a high | security clearance for mathematical support work for the Navy. In the 1990s, Ayman Zawahiri had Ali Mohammed infiltrate the CIA and US Army, and dupe the FBI. He did it all over again with Ali Al-Timimi. If we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.

In a CNN commentary entitled "Minutemen have a right to be idiotic", Ruben Navarette Jr. a member of the editorial board of the San Diego Union-Tribune, and someone in my opinion who seems way more racist than anything he accuses the Minuteman Project of doing, had a few things to say.

Nazi Hunter Wiesenthal Dies at 96
Simon Wiesenthal, a Holocaust-survivor-turned-Nazi hunter who always spoke of justice, not vengeance, is dead at 96.
Wiesenthal died in his sleep at his home in Vienna, his office announced Tuesday. Working with a small staff from his cramped three-room office, Wiesenthal sifted through tens of thousands of documents and followed countless leads, compiling archives that helped bring some 1,100 Nazi criminals to justice.
"Simon Wiesenthal was the conscience of the Holocaust," said Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. The center, named for Wiesenthal, came to embody the thrust of his work as a Jewish human rights organization dedicated to preserving the memory of the Holocaust by fostering tolerance and understanding.
Officials at the center pledged this week to continue Wiesenthal's work and also to maintain his legacy. Hier said he last spoke with Wiesenthal only two weeks ago. An exhibit on the Nazi hunter's life has been set up at | the center's sister organization, the Museum of Tolerance, where a memorial service also is planned for next week.
Wiesenthal "was a hero who carried the torch of justice at a time when there was a paralysis of conscience over responsibility for the Holocaust," said Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League and himself a Holocaust survivor. "No Nazi war criminal, big or small, was able | [

I grew up on the “pavements gray” of Cleveland, Ohio longing for a greener and more nourishing urban environment. As far back as I can remember I’ve been interested in and involved with varying campaigns and methods of environmental education. However, it wasn’t until I took Food and Society (by the remarkable professor Smith at the University of New Hampshire) in pursuit of my BS in Environmental Conservation, that it dawned on me that food is the key! Truly nourishing food is the linchpin for both rural and urban regenerative landscapes. Food is our most tangible link to our environment. It is also perhaps the most unifying, non-partisan, instinctual, and delicious way to teach and experience conservation.
In 2006 I was stationed in Romania as Peace Corps Volunteer. At my first opportunity to travel I headed to Lithuania to learn more about the land of my ancestors. Ironically, I discovered more about my future than I did about my past. There I met Sarah and Andrew by chance in a youth hostel in Klaipeda during their seed-consciousness-raising trek across Europe. We talked for hours about organic agriculture, food | security, and the virtues of open-pollinated seed.
Our conversation that night left a lasting impression. If food was the key to getting people to reintegrate into their communities and environment, then saving seed was the key to sustainable food. Beyond buying local organic foods or tending a garden, the process of stewarding seeds closes the food production loop and empowers seed stewards with the ability to feed their families and communities with tasty, healthy, locally appropriate food year after year.

By NOEY KUPCHAN
(AP) -- Sean Kilpatrick led Cincinnati in scoring last season, but now he's taken his game to a whole new level.
The junior standout tries to keep rolling as the No. 22 Bearcats host Campbell on Tuesday night.
After averaging 14.3 points and helping Cincinnati reach the regional semifinals of the NCAA tournament, Kilpatrick appears more than capable of carrying the team even farther in 2012-13.

Kilpatrick went 10 of 15 from the field against the Aggies, making a career-high eight 3-pointers on 12 attempts.

Ever have those harder then usual days, the ones where you hold your hope in the hand that pulls back the blind, wishing to see sunshine, and instead see only gloom, and grey skies? Waiting for glimmers of a brighter day?
Yeh, me either…lol, and then the bills come in the mail. What a day.
Glimmers are what makes life bearable, wonderful, they shine in our eyes when the sun won’t do it. Glimmers are the ice cream cone on a hot day, treats that taste like they have no calories, the shade when you are burning up from the sun.
Glimmers are the cat rubbing against your leg during a walk through the neighbourhood, and a dog that wags it’s tail instead | of barking at you as you walk by. The friendly hello from a stranger whom you thought looked angry, and a flash of bird’s wings through a flowering shrub.
They are unexpected moments, glimmers of a better day, and it’s just waiting to peek out of those gloomy skies.

Hymn Before Sunrise
Hymn Before Sunrise is a poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1802. Originally published in the Morning Post, it describes feelings that Coleridge claimed to have experienced on his own. However, it was later revealed that parts of the poem were heavily influenced by a poem by Friederike Brun, which led to criticism against Coleridge for not acknowledging his sources. Aspects of the poem did have direct origin in Coleridge's own life and experiences, and the work represents one of the last times a poem captured his feelings of joy during that period of his life.
During 1802, Coleridge wrote the poem Hymn Before Sunrise, which he based on his translation of a poem by Brun. However, Coleridge told William Southeby another story about what inspired him to write the poem in a 10 September 1802 letter: "I involuntarily poured forth a Hymn in the manner of the Psalms, tho' afterwards I thought the | Ideas &c disproportionate to our humble mountains—& accidentally lighting on a short Note in some swiss Poems, concerning the Vale of Chamouny, & it's Mountain, I transferred myself thither, in the Spirit, & adapted my former feelings to these grander external objects".

SALEM — John Tomasz, the public works director for the town of Hamilton, has been hired as the city’s new director of public services.
Tomasz’s appointment was approved by the City Council last week. He replaces Richard Rennard, who retired in November.
He is slated to start work in Salem on Feb. 19 at an annual salary of $105,000.
Tomasz has more than 30 years’ experience in public works, engineering and project management. He has been Hamilton’s DPW director since 2008. Previously, he was public works director in Rockport for 10 years.
He also serves as a water and sewer commissioner in his hometown of Newburyport.
In a Jan. 22 letter to the City Council, Mayor Kim Driscoll said Tomasz’s extensive experience will enable him to “hit the ground running.”
The City Council’s Jan. 24 vote to confirm Tomasz was 9-2, with Councilors Michael Sosnowski and Tom Furey voting against his appointment.

And according to Stallone, it won’t be a blink-and-you’ll-miss cameo, either. Or one of those silly after the credits stunts, which forces you to sit through five hours of credit listing and really Godawful music to get to the “easter egg”. Instead, the scene will take place early in the film, and will last for more than five minutes. Here’s what Stallone told EW by phone about the scene featuring the three biggest abusers of squibs and set explosions of all time:

Last night Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, the speaker of the House of Representatives and the majority leader of the Senate, received the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Distinguished Public Service Award at a dinner dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the New Deal.

It might sound odd coming from a libertarian, | but I wish the Pelosi-Reid Democrats had more in common with Franklin Roosevelt. Not the Franklin Roosevelt who occupied the White House from 1933 to 1945, but the Franklin Roosevelt who aspired to the White House in the election of 1932.

(CNN) -- Arsenal have been dumped out of the FA Cup by second-tier Blackburn, knocked out of England's third ranked competition by lowly Bradford and now they have German giants Bayern Munich to contend with in the last 16 of the European Champions League.
So perhaps it is no wonder their manager Arsene Wenger was in irritable mood when he met journalists ahead of their first leg encounter with Bayern, at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.
An avalanche of negative press appeared in the wake of their cup exit to Blackburn. The second division side withstood 26 Arsenal attempts on goal and scored with their only purposeful attack of the game.
But is was a question about a newspaper report that claimed he was about to sign a two-year contract extension that really irked Wenger.
| "That is the wrong information and I work for 16 years in England and I think I deserve a bit more credit than wrong information that has only one intention: to harm," he told the press conference.

Studies have shown that sleep shelters old verbal memories from associative interference arising from new, more recently acquired memories. Our objective is to extend the forms of interference for which sleep provides a sheltering benefit to non-associative and prospective interference, and to examine experimental conditions and memory strengths for which sleep before or after learning particularly affects verbal memory consolidation.
Acquiring paired word associates, retention across intervening sleep and wake, training on new, interfering word associates, and test recall of both sets.
Measurements and Results:
Comparing recall before and after intervening periods of sleep versus wake, we found that: (i) Sleep preferentially shields weakly encoded verbal memories from retroactive interference. (ii) Sleep immediately following learning helps shelter memory from associative and non-associative forms of retroactive interference. (iii) Sleep protects new verbal memories from prospective interference. (iv) Word associations acquired for the first time in the evening after a day spent in the wake state are encoded more strongly than word associations acquired in the morning following a night of sleep.
The findings | extend the known sleep protection from interference to non-associative as well as prospective interference, and limit the protection to weakly encoded word associations. Combined, our results suggest that sleep | [

We adopted Curly from the pound. Elsie loves pound pets, because they are usually very appreciative of having a good, loving family to live with. Curly was definitely no exception!

home & garden: Spring ahead on next year’s garden design

Spy services threaten South African democracy, warns researcher
July 23, 2009 Leave a comment
By JOSEPH FITSANAKIS | intelNews.org |
A former member of South Africa’s ministerial Review Commission on Intelligence has warned that a steadily declining culture of accountability in South Africa’s spy services is threatening the country’s constitutional order. Laurie Nathan, who is currently a research fellow at the University of Cape Town and the London School of Economics, has written an article for | Chatham House’s The World Today magazine, in which he summarizes the results of the Commission’s a study into the South African intelligence services. According to Nathan, the study found a “striking absence of executive policy on many critical intelligence issues” and “major weaknesses in control and oversight systems” of intelligence practices. Furthermore, Nathan suggests that the “chronic obsession with secrecy” that plagues the country’s intelligence community has hampered proper accountability in the post-apartheid era, and that the transformation of the intelligence services into law-abiding agencies is “far from complete” under the leadership of the African National Congress.

I’m excited to announce that the book Quantitative Value: A Practitioner’s Guide to Automating Intelligent Investment and Eliminating Behavioral Errors (hardcover, 288 pages, Wiley Finance) is now available.
In Quantitative Value, we make the case for quantitative value investment in stock selection and portfolio construction. Our rationale is that quantitative value investing assists us to defend against our own behavioral errors, and exploit the errors made by others. We examine in detail industry and academic research into a variety of fundamental value investing methods, and simple quantitative value investment strategies. We then independently backtest each method, and strategy, and combine the best into a new quantitative value investment model.
In Quantitative Value we begin our investigation by examining two simple quantitative value investment strategies: one suggested by the great value investor and philosopher Benjamin Graham, and the other Joel Greenblatt’s Magic Formula, and ask if there are simple ways to improve upon them.
We conduct our investigation along four broad lines:
- How to identify and avoid stocks at the highest risk of | sustaining a permanent loss of capital, including those exhibiting financial statement manipulation, fraud, or financial distress (e.g. bankruptcy)
- How to find stocks of the highest quality, which we define as those possessing an economic franchise, and | [

Saturdays CDT story Teacher charged in sex crime screamed out, as I think editors had hoped.
It must be the sexual aspect of this story that makes this a bold-print, top-of-the-page headline because this 55-year-old womans love-blinded behavior with a male trustee at the Houtzdale State Prison doesnt appear to be a threat to our community.
Is it necessary to publicly prosecute this woman in print? The CDT should be ashamed for using a quarter page to trumpet such nonsense. Drug and weapon smuggling into Rockview is a significantly more serious offense, but six lines of print usually cover the story.

Business Across Cultures: The Meaning of Words
Translate this Page
One of the most common sources of intercultural friction in a multinational office in Indonesia is a misunderstanding between a foreign professional and an Indonesian manager. Often there is no fault to be found in such a circumstance. It may well be because of the way people's understanding of the meaning of words or concepts differs between cultures.
For instance, Indonesian managers often speak of the need for respect and politeness in business transactions. The meaning of those terms, “What is respect?”, “What is Polite?” vary with the perceptions of the person or persons involved. What can be considered impolite in Indonesian Business Culture may be a commonplace and accepted facet of Western Business Culture. However, the miscommunication or misperception of meanings by a foreign co-worker is often a reason for cultural friction.
One of the most frustrating conflicts in meaning for both Western and Indonesian managers is the question of proper feedback or of “Closing the Loop”. What may seem sufficient response and information on an on-going | assignment to one party, may be considered grossly insufficient by another and this insufficiency may never be properly addressed.
One of the benefits of a cross-cultural training program is having the different cultural sides of a team or office sit down together and decide on what terms and words mean exactly in the separate cultural context of their own office.
It should be a basic premise of these programs that Indonesians are not expected | [

Arts Council to Expand; Residents Weigh Impact
The approval to build a 16,740-square-foot, Michael Graves-designed building on the current site of the Arts Council on 102 Witherspoon Street was handed down by the Princeton Regional Planning Board last Thursday, and with it came the end of another chapter in the Arts Council's often troubled relationship with the neighborhood that surrounds the building.
The new structure will be named the Paul Robeson Center for the Arts, to honor the Princeton actor, athlete, activist, and one-time Green Street resident.
An outpouring of residents, both for and against expansion attended the standing-room-only meeting that lasted until midnight. The meeting was an extension of the original May 20 Planning Board forum where architecture and traffic-study testimony was heard. Thursday's meeting included only the public hearing element.
Residents from as far as Trenton came to voice their opinions on the facility that serves as Princeton's main cultural institution.
While the Arts Council is widely regarded as a benefit to the community, the focus of the battle, which was to hold expansion at bay, stemmed from what some residents say is a trend that has checkered the past of the Witherspoon-Jackson neighborhood.
The Witherspoon-Jackson Neighborhood Association (WJNA | ), which led the opposition to the Arts Council's plans, argued that the process was largely conducted without regard for the history of the neighborhood.

Jack - you're mixing two different optical principles. The DOF split is the result of hyperfocal focusing, while the effect of tilts is based on the Scheimpflug principle. The combined effect will determine what parts of your image appear sharp (at a given enlargement ratio for the hyperfocal method) but they are not directly related.
I'm well aware of the Scheimpflug principle as I shot LF for many years. Schempflug is used specifically for altering the Plane of Focus (PoF) effectively increasing DoF between near and far elements. The Dof split as you refer to it still exists wiht Scheimpflug, only now it is at angle to | the imaging plane instead of parallel to it. Moreover, the SHAPE of the DOF zone is now changed from co-planar to an anguled-triangle extending foward with its apex at a point below your lens (assuming forward lens tilt).
Hence I am not mixing optical princles, but rather combining them in a way that increases efficiency in the field -- a skill I honed to perfection years ago shooting landscapes with 4x5 and 8x10 field | [

It was good to get out of the apartment. The sky was blue but by 8:00 pm, the air was cold, and as we went on the trail along the beach cliffs it got colder. Far below, on the beach, | a bonfire was going amidst the stacked driftwood timber.
In a secluded fold with a hedgerow on one side and cliff on the other, the trail led towards the moon.

(CNN) – Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will release her second book in November, publisher Harper Collins announced Wednesday.
"America By Heart: Reflections on Family, Faith, and Flag " will include selections from classic and contemporary readings that have moved her-from the nation's founding documents to great speeches, sermons, letters, literature and poetry, biography, and even some of her favorite songs and movies," the publisher said in a statement announcing the new book. "The book will also include portraits of some of the extraordinary men and women she admires and who embody her deep love of country, her strong rootedness in faith, and her profound love and appreciation of family. She will also draw from personal experience to amplify these timely (and timeless) themes-themes that are sure to inspire her numerous supporters and all readers across the country."
The second book was inspired by the people Palin met during her 35-city tour in support of her first book, "Going Rogue," Harper Collins also said. The | upcoming book "celebrates the enduring strengths and virtues that have made this country great," the publisher added.
"America By Heart" will hit bookshelves on November 23, according to Harper Collins.

New Hospitals Invest In State-of-the-Art Data Centers To Manage Rapid Growth in Patient Information
CHICAGO, May 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Silver Cross Hospital's recently opened data center puts it at the forefront of an emerging healthcare trend: Combining construction of new hospitals with new data centers to offer the latest in technology and accommodate an explosion in applications and patient data—not just documents, but images and videos.

Coastal residents today anxiously awaited the outcome of efforts to contain the Gulf of Mexico oil spill with a giant domelike structure and limit damage from what is becoming an environmental catastrophe. A crane lowered the 100-ton dome onto the "Joe Griffin" before the barge embarked on the 12-hour journey from Port Fourchon on the Louisiana coast to the epicentre of the disaster some 80 kilometres offshore.
The structure a white silo with a dome-shaped top that stands five stories high carries with it the hopes of coastal communities from Texas to Florida whose way of life is threatened by the slick. Energy giant BP said the device is aimed at containing the oil spill to allow the crude spewing on the seabed about 1,500 metres below up to be pumped into a nearby tanker ship. "We are all hoping this containment system will work," said Coast | guard Rear Admiral Mary Landry.
But she and BP officials cautioned that the operation had never been tried at such depths. "What we're undertaking is unprecedented," BP chief operating officer Doug Suttles said. "We're landing a very large, essentially, metal building." BP used the occasion to publicise the lengths to which it is going to contain the spill, bringing the barge and dome back to its starting point at one point so that media could get a second shot at its departure.
The laborious task of transporting the dome, lowering it precisely over the leak and attaching it to the ship is expected to | [

For the first time since the stench of corruption rose from Montreal city hall five years ago, damning testimony has put Mayor Gérald Tremblay in direct contact with illegal acts.
A former political organizer for Mr. Tremblay’s party says the mayor was one of three people in a 2004 meeting where a Union Montréal official showed the two sets of books the party was keeping – clean records designed to fall within spending limits and satisfy the chief electoral officer, and an unofficial cash-only accounting that had the party spending double the $46,000 campaign limit.
The startling testimony Tuesday at the Charbonneau corruption inquiry by former party staffer Martin Dumont had provincial leaders making an unprecedented call for Mr. Tremblay to immediately come clean about his actions, or resign. Others said he should just quit now. Mr. Tremblay refused, calling the testimony a pack of lies.
The Parti Québécois government is expected to table integrity legislation – as early as Thursday or perhaps next week | – that will tighten the rules for companies bidding on public contracts and reduce contributions individuals can make to political parties.
Mr. Dumont methodically described a world between 2004 and 2006 where hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash contributions from construction and engineering bosses stuffed suit jackets, filled safes and were counted by hand by a bewildered junior party | [

Planning visions aren’t lining up with development realities, leading to “eyesore” development in undesirable places, commissioners’ President Candice Quinn Kelly (D) said Tuesday.
A new CVS store in Bryans Road, replacing two smaller pharmacies in Bryans Road and Indian Head, was a particular target of her ire.
Bryans Road was envisioned as having a “mixed-use village feel. Now what we probably have is the largest CVS in the history of the world. It’s frighteningly large. They had to put a second story on that sucker” to comply with zoning laws. “That’s what’s broken here. We don’t ever get to the point where we allow the board of commissioners to take a look at what’s broken and try to fix it,” Kelly said.
At the same time, CVS/pharmacy architects followed all design rules, including adding an unnecessary second floor with an elevator. Rules intended to promote dense development in town centers seemed to result in the company building a larger building on | “pristine” land, Kelly said.
A CVS/pharmacy corporate spokesman did not return a call seeking comment.
Commissioner Ken Robinson (D) warned that county commissioners cannot involve themselves in every zoning decision. Kelly countered that better information, at least, is in order.
Planning staff should work with developers to get projects approved, Robinson said.

What I choose to bake on any given day usually depends on four things: how much time I have; which ingredients are already in my cupboard; what I'm in the mood to prepare; and, whether or not my family members are likely to show enthusiasm for the dish I'm contemplating. Even with those limiting factors in play, the inherent freedom of home baking and the creative liberties that it allows make up an enormous part of what I love about the whole process.
It's encouraging to know that just about anyone can combine a bunch of seemingly disparate ingredients and be rewarded with a tasty, and often impressive, result. Taking into account all of the customizing and occasionally fool-hardy recipe tweaking we chronic bakers tend to engage in, that's comforting knowledge, don't you think?
I suppose it's sort of like one's faithful acceptance that a car can be driven to its intended destination even if the windows have been tinted purple, the radio's been replaced by a waffle iron, and the interior's been reupholstered in pink crushed-velvet. Baking is similarly flexible, at least to a certain degree. Just remember, figuratively speaking, not to remove the car | 's engine and everything should be okay.
When the yen to bake strikes, I try to zero in on a recipe that satisfies that familiar quartet of requirements, yet still leaves room for interpretation. This coffee cake provides an uncomplicated case in point.
