Email Hard boiled crime stories, old and new, in classic packaging
Cory Doctorow at 5:14 am Mon, Sep 6, 2004 — FEATURED —
Kindle Hard Case Crime is a new paperback imprint that's reprinting old pulp crime novels and commissioning new novels in the style of the old pulps. They're publishing them in replica packaging designed to look like the old dime-novels, and they've even brought Robert McGinnis, best known for painting the original James Bond movie posters, out of retirement to do cover art.
From World War II through the 1960s, paperback crime novels were one of the fastest-selling categories in book publishing. Millions of readers snapped up hundreds of millions of books by well-known authors like Erle Stanley Gardner and Mickey Spillane, as well as by promising young writers like Lawrence Block, Elmore Leonard, and Ed McBain. Today, Block, Leonard, and McBain still make the bestseller lists with each new hardcover -- but the pulp novels that first captured the public's imagination weren't hardcovers. They were paperbacks you could fit in your back pocket, with jaw-dropping cover paintings and bare-knuckled prose that grabbed you by the collar with the first sentence and held you until the last page. No one's published books like that in years. Link I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Your Welches con man David Wilson came into Chopsticks II on East Burnside about 6:30pm Sunday night Aug 1. He struck up a conversation with the bartender. He was standing right beside me. After he started his stolen truck story I told him I didn't believe him and said his face was recognized. He left without saying a word. I showed the bartender your blog posting -- she was thrilled. He hasn't changed his appearance at all.

With the increasing amount of recognition this con man seems to be getting I would imagine relocation is being considered.

As we were waiting for the Beat the Drum rally I looked over at the Steel bridge and there was David around 11:30 AM. We could not stop laughing as he turned to go to the Rose Quarter. They had something going on at the same time. The rally was well attended and bittersweet. Really puts things into perspective.

"I would imagine relocation is being considered."
Don't underestimate the geographic scope of this blog. Maybe once he realizes the futility of running away from his notoriety, he will get a real job. His con man image should prove a major benefit to a career on wall street. Then he can use his skylls to make some real coin. Posted by

Keep calling him out. It's got to be really freaky when people he is trying to scam turn out to know everything about him. I want to be able to go beyond that with him to get to, "Hey, why do you do this?" Posted by
Sadly, I'm reminded of an encounter a few years back, where a guy at a barbecue restaurant gave me a similar sad sack story. He really needed money to get home, and could I please help him out? It might have worked if the guy wasn't wearing snazzier clothes than I was, and if he hadn't done so while waiting for a pickup order for him and his wife, who was out in their Lexus.
The problem here with this guy is that he won't get a job, so long as he has marks he can work. I suspect half of the thrill is in being able to get away with it for this long. The only thing anybody can do is to laugh, point, and let your friends know why you're doing so.

I was scammed earlier this evening (8/30/2010) on SW 11th and Yamhill. He started out with the usual line "Have you heard of Welches?" He told us his truck was stolen and he needed cab fare to get home. I totally thought he was ligit and honest. Shortly after I gave him $20, my boyfriend googled his name. We jumped in the car and drove around downtown hoping to find him. I stopped a police officer and told him the story. Hopefully the douche nozzle gets whats coming to him! Funny thing is...the police officer seemed shocked that we googled the guy and saw that he was a scam artist. How do they not know who he is?

Jessica Alba’s Swimming Pool in Bollywood Debut
By Andrew Stephenson Posted on June 9th, 2009 in Movies, News
Jessica Alba’s swimming pool makes its Bollywood movie debut in Sajid Nadiadwala’s Kambakht Ishq which stars Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor and Amrita Arora. Also in the film are a number of American actors such as Denise Richards, Sylvester Stallone and Brandon Routh. One of the scenes was shot as a pool party, hosted by Denise Richards, but it’s just been revealed that the pool in question was at the home of actress Jessica Alba. “It is a well known fact that Denise Richards makes her Bollywood debut in Kambakht Ishq,” said a source, “Few know that her introductory scene was shot at Jessica Alba’s pool. Jessica was present too. It was quite a thing to have two of the hottest women around.”
Meanwhile, Akshay has expressed some concern that audiences might not be able to separate his on-screen persona in Kambakht Ishq from the real Akshay. “I may be playing a typical male chauvinistic pig, who only thinks of one thing, and doesn’t care a damn about women’s feelings at all. But I’d like to clarify something here, I am only playing a character,” he explains, “If I ever saw a man mistreat a woman, he’d wish he never woke up that morning | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/102 | {"url": "http://bollyspice.com/4741/jessica-albas-swimming-pool-in-bollywood-debut", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "bollyspice.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:46:05Z", "digest": "sha1:VD7UDIRIVQMFGNW5KFL3S6GYFSQAU3JO"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1259, 1259.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1259, 1551.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1259, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1259, 17.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1259, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1259, 219.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1259, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1259, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1259, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1259, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1259, 0.40671642]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1259, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1259, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1259, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1259, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1259, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1259, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1259, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1259, 0.03842365]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1259, 0.04137931]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1259, 0.04926108]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1259, 0.01492537]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1259, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1259, 0.14179104]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1259, 0.66063348]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1259, 4.59276018]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1259, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1259, 4.75840473]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1259, 221.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 110, 0.0], [110, 809, 1.0], [809, 1259, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 110, 0.0], [110, 809, 0.0], [809, 1259, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 48, 7.0], [48, 110, 11.0], [110, 809, 122.0], [809, 1259, 81.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 110, 0.08474576], [110, 809, 0.0], [809, 1259, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 48, 0.0], [48, 110, 0.0], [110, 809, 0.0], [809, 1259, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 48, 0.125], [48, 110, 0.11290323], [110, 809, 0.05293276], [809, 1259, 0.02444444]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1259, 0.06861711]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1259, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1259, 0.81718576]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1259, -48.12874451]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1259, 46.59286378]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1259, -80.16126339]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1259, 9.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |
Anushka Sharma still nervous around Shah Rukh Khan
By Priyanka Ramesh Kumar Posted on November 18th, 2012 in Movies, News, Stars
It’s been 4 years since Anushka Sharma appeared on the big screen and entered Bollywood staring opposite one of the most popular actors; Shah Rukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. Anushka has risen as an actress and captured us in her later films of Band Baaja Baaraat and Ladies Vs. Ricky Bahl.
At the beginning Anushka wasn’t sure if she even wanted to be an actress but as time went acting grew on her and became part of her. She tells IANS “I am just happy that I am getting to do the kind of work I always wanted to do. I started off without knowing whether I wanted to be an actress or not. But since I started doing films, I have started loving the craft,” She now has ideas of what kinds of films she would like to do and what kind of roles she’d like to play. “Now I have aspirations like, ‘I want to do this kind of film, work with this kind of director or learn from this actor’. So I am happy that I am getting a chance to work with prolific directors,” Anushka enlightens us.
Currently Anushka is with her co-stars from Jab Tak Hai Jaan Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif, who are all promoting the film. This is her second film with Shah Rukh Khan in addition the actress exclaims how Shah Rukh Khan’s charm remains the same even after four years. “In my first film it was an acquired taste because I didn’t know him, but with this film, I got to know him better,” the actress told reporters during the promotion of the film.
Next for Anushka will be Vishal Bhardwaj’s Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola which is said to release in January 2013. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/103 | {"url": "http://bollyspice.com/51768/anushka-sharma-still-nervous-around-shah-rukh-khan", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "bollyspice.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:48:37Z", "digest": "sha1:E7WBQHQIMKSORYKFI4FVOF7UXRXPISUI"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1673, 1673.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1673, 1964.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1673, 6.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1673, 19.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1673, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1673, 189.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1673, 0.43922652]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1673, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1673, 0.05718585]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1673, 0.03009782]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1673, 0.03611738]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1673, 0.02106847]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1673, 0.03867403]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1673, 0.11049724]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1673, 0.57861635]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1673, 4.17924528]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1673, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1673, 4.89610008]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1673, 318.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 129, 0.0], [129, 421, 1.0], [421, 1114, 1.0], [1114, 1562, 1.0], [1562, 1673, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 129, 0.0], [129, 421, 0.0], [421, 1114, 0.0], [1114, 1562, 0.0], [1562, 1673, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 51, 8.0], [51, 129, 13.0], [129, 421, 54.0], [421, 1114, 140.0], [1114, 1562, 83.0], [1562, 1673, 20.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 129, 0.08108108], [129, 421, 0.00348432], [421, 1114, 0.0], [1114, 1562, 0.0], [1562, 1673, 0.03636364]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 129, 0.0], [129, 421, 0.0], [421, 1114, 0.0], [1114, 1562, 0.0], [1562, 1673, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 51, 0.09803922], [51, 129, 0.11538462], [129, 421, 0.06849315], [421, 1114, 0.03318903], [1114, 1562, 0.046875], [1562, 1673, 0.09009009]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1673, 0.0144847]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1673, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1673, 0.69052929]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1673, -53.40560637]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1673, 30.57201887]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1673, -122.21630289]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1673, 13.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |

Game 159: Yankees at Blue Jays
Nick Swisher called this “a must win game” for the Yankees, and after yesterday’s deflating 3-2 loss to the Blue Jays, it has to be.
At this point, they all are must-win games for the Bombers, who enter today tied once again with the Orioles for first place in the American League East with just four games remaining on the schedule. New York needs to at least salvage a split of this four-game series at Rogers Centre before heading home to play the Red Sox for three very meaningful games.
In case you’re wondering, if the Yankees and Orioles finished the regular season tied, there would be a one-game playoff held at Camden Yards on Oct. 4 to determine who wins the AL East and who gets the Wild Card. The way things are going, it’s probably best not to rule anything out.
Here are the lineups –
Derek Jeter SS
Ichiro Suzuki RF
Alex Rodriguez 3B
Robinson Cano 2B
Nick Swisher 1B
Curtis Granderson CF
Raul Ibanez LF
Russell Martin C
Eric Chavez DH
Phil Hughes (16-13, 4.10)
Brett Lawrie 3B
Rajai Davis LF
Edwin Encarnacion DH
Yunel Escobar SS
Adam Lind 1B
Moises Sierra RF
J.P. Arencibia C
Adeiny Hechavarria 2B
Anthony Gose CF
Henderson Alvarez RHP (9-14, 4.91)
Here’s the highlighted information from the Yankees’ media relations team:
AT A GLANCE: The Yankees will play the final game of a four-game series vs. the Toronto Blue Jays today at Rogers Centre for their final regular season road game in 2012… is their final game on their seven-game road trip – their final trip of the season – which began with a three-game series win at Minnesota (2-1)… following today’s game, return home for a three-game set vs. Boston, their final series of the season.
—>>> Have won 10 of their last 14 games, 13 of their last 19 and 15 of their last 23… are 24 games over .500, one shy of their season high… are tied with Baltimore (also 91-67) for the second-best record in the AL, 1.5G behind Texas (92-65, .586).
—>>> Are in a stretch of 15 straight days with 16 games scheduled to finish the regular season.
—>>> Went undefeated in their six series prior to this one (5-0-1).
IN CLOSING: The Yankees are 32-18 in series finales… have won their last five on the road.
GO, GO, CANO: 2B Robinson Cano has collected 12H in his last 19AB (.632) over his last 5G (all multi-hit affairs)… the five consecutive multi-hit games matches his season-long stretch (also 6/30-7/4) and ties for the third-longest such streak of his career.
—>>> Is batting .337 (69-for-205) with 16 doubles and 11HR in day games this season.
A COOLER BREEZE: The Yankees have struck out a single-season franchise-record 1,283 batters this year… surpasses the previous mark of 1,266K set in 2001.
NICKY SWISH: RF/1B Nick Swisher has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games, going 16-for-44 (.364) with 4HR and 14RBI since 9/19… is also 8-for-15 (.533) with RISP over the stretch.
—>>> Owns 92RBI this season, three shy of his career high set in 2006 w/ Oakland.
—>>> Six of his last 12HR—and seven of his last 15—have given the Yankees the lead.

Scrappy win but they’re going to have to be – but what I will say is that this is good, lets be honest, if the Jays & Sux play to their standing it will be very bad news for us in the overall sense. We don’t need to be playing teams going through the motions right now because this time next week the teams we’ll be playing won’t be of that calibre, they’ll be teams who can & will beat up on you. So playing the Jays who showed a bit of pep about themselves over the course of the weekend is good for us, avoids us going into the playoffs having played 7 games against teams who just showed up to finish the season! Ofcourse there were negatives (Hughes pitching performance was not as good as you’d like for example), but the Yankees took far more out of this series than just 2 games.
with that being said, if you asked me would I rather be facing the Rays or the Red Sox with the division on the line, that’s a no brainer! The Red Sox all they can do is win headlines, all they’re playing for is to spoil the Yankees season – the Rays on the other hand smell another situation like last year and who can blame them. While the Red Sox will be tough if the Rays win game one against Baltimore then I’d suggest to you they become virtually impossible to deal with in games 2 & 3!
By Allan Mounce on October 1, 2012 4:24 am - You’re right seeknay. They finally decided to take a page from the O’s book and do some bunting and small ball and it paid off. Can’t go into the playoffs only winning with the long ball. This game became more critical, Swish, because the yankees blew a game yesterday they should have won. Now we’re set up for a possible tie breaker with the game being played in the O’s ball park. Not a good scenario. Let’s hope yankees win the rest and the O’s lose at least 1 to the RAys. The team is struggling both at pitching and offense. Not sure we’ve got a strong enough team to get past the first round if we do get in. A lot of soul-searching and tough decisions will need to be made in the off season. Pitching rotation only Andy, CC and Kuroda (at least he used to be) are consistent. Nova, Hughes, Phelps you never know what you’re going to get. We pulled out a win today which shows character but the team was desperate and when it’s desperate they seem to come through.
By robert G. Moulton (@canuckyankee) on September 30, 2012 7:20 pm - My God Girardi learned how to play small ball and it worked. Now let’s see if Robertson & Soriano can get 6 more outs to stay even with the O’s.
By seeknay51 on September 30, 2012 4:01 pm - Phil Hughes, once again proving he’s a 500 pitcher and a CHOKER. This team will be lucky to make the playoffs. Long overdue to give this team an ENEMA. The likes of Hughes, Joba, Garcia, Jones, and others NEED to sent elsewhere or released. Sick and tired of watching same thing OVER & OVER again. First one I’d do is see if ANYONE would take #13 off their hands and pay the entire contract if you have to. ENEMA Hal and company and if you have to start with the architect of this sorry arse club, Crashman.

Lying Awake
Mark Salzman
Best bets for book clubs
BookPage® Column by Julie Hale
This month's new paperback releases include several excellent titles in fiction and nonfiction. We recommend the following selections as good choices for reading groups. Honky By Dalton Conley This wise, timely memoir is an account of the author's childhood in a predominantly black and Puerto Rican neighborhood in Manhattan. Conley, whose bohemian parents traded their well-heeled lives for an artsy inner city existence, was one of the few white boys in the projects, a place ruled by race and class where violence was close at hand a world where whites, for once, were the minority. Richly evocative of 1960s and '70s New York, filled with unforgettable incidents and characters from the author's childhood, including his offbeat parents, Honky is an unusually insightful memoir. Conley, now a professor of sociology at New York University, offers a unique perspective on ethnicity and class. A reading group guide is available at www.vintagebooks.com/read. Lying Awake By Mark Salzman Salzman's best-selling novel is the story of Sister John, a middle-aged nun who lives in a Carmelite monastery in Los Angeles. Intense, recurring visions of God are a source of spiritual fulfillment for Sister John, but they come with a price, arriving with electrifying headaches that force her to seek medical attention. When her doctor hints that illness may be the cause of her gift, Sister John must make a choice: cure the headaches and perhaps lose her special connection to the spiritual world, or carry on with the visions, knowing they may not be real. A brief novel that tackles weighty themes, Salzman's latest is small and exquisite, a convincing portrayal of a society rarely seen. A reading group guide is available at www.vintagebooks.com/read. The Sheep Queen By Thomas Savage Back Bay is thankfully re-issuing this western epic, a family saga set in Idaho that was originally published in 1977. Emma Sweringen, known as the Sheep Queen of Idaho, is at the center of this taut, expertly crafted novel. As matriarch of the Sweringens a sheep-ranching clan she contends with the politics of family life: a worshipful son, a disappointing daughter and a granddaughter, long ago given up for adoption, who spends years making her way back to the family. When she finally finds the Sweringens, she changes their lives forever. Savage, a woefully overlooked writer who made the West his narrative territory, is the author of 10 novels and a Guggenheim Fellow. A reading group guide is included in the book. The Heartsong of Charging Elk By James Welch Charging Elk, an Oglala Sioux and member of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, travels with the troupe to Marseille, France, where after an injury he is left behind in a hospital. As the show travels on without him, he must make a life for himself in a strange land. Unable to speak French or English, Charging Elk adapts as best he can, eventually falling in love, but memories of life on the Plains are ever-present, and a sense of isolation haunts him. Loosely based on true events, the novel is a skillful re-imagining of history. Welch who is of Blackfoot-Gros Ventre descent gives new dimension to the American Indian experience in this beautifully executed, award-winning book. A reading group guide is available online at www.anchorbooks.com. Crooked River Burning By Mark Winegardner Winegardner's second novel is as much about place as it is about people. Cleveland, Ohio, is the setting for this work of historical fiction that traces the life of the city and two of its inhabitants throughout the 1950s and '60s. A pair of ill-fated teenage lovers from different sides of the tracks, David Zelinsky, who was raised on Cleveland's blue-collar West Side, and Anne O'Connor, the daughter of a wealthy political boss, fall in love, and their romance has unforgettable repercussions.

On The Down Low: Is Real Housewives Of Atlanta’s Porsha Stewart A Beard For Her Suspect NFL Baller Hubby??

Porsha Stwart’s Husband Kordell Is Supposedly Gay
Atlanta’s newest houswife, Porsha Stewart may act like her life is nothing but glitter and gold but if rumors are true, everything that glitters might not be straight. Porsha’s hubby, Kordell Stewart is a seasoned NFL pro. The New Orleans native was once the star QB for the Pittsburgh Steelers, however Stewart quit the game after being labeled as gay by many of his team-mates and friends. Via Straight From The A reports:
For years, Kordell, a stellar quarterback who once played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was plagued by talk that he frequented Schenley Park.,a Pittsburgh area park frequented by gay and transexual men.
There was even talk that an officer had once witnessed Stewart engaging in gay sex in a limousine but because of his notoriety as the city’s star quarterback, the incident was swept under the rug.
Apparently as time went on, other reports of his alleged homosexual activity became “rumors” that never held any substantiated proof. Nobody dared to go on the record because even if the rumors were true, homosexuality isn’t illegal. That was during the period when ‘Don’t ask… don’t tell’ was the norm.
Plaxico Burress even spoke about the rumors that dogged the quarterback during their mutual time in Pittsburgh and referenced the situation in his memoirs.
In a 2008 radio interview with Tim Benz of 105.9 The X in Pittsburgh, Burress stated:
“It had to be tough on him personally. I didn’t call him gay or anything like that. . . . I think that’s one of the reasons why he really couldn’t become the player that he wanted to be. . . . It has to play on you mentally a little bit.”
But that ain’t it…
In the 1997 season, Kordell called a team meeting specifically to reiterate that he wasn’t gay.
He’s said to have gone into details about specific sex acts that he liked and also wanted to reassure his team mates of his heterosexuality, stating: “I believe in Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.”
Stewart also he allegedly warned team mates: “You’d better not leave your girlfriends around me, because I’m out to prove a point!”
In 1999, Sports Illustrated addressed the topic of Stewart’s sexuality. Up until that point, Stewart had declined to discuss private life, but he recounted to SI that the team meeting was prompted by friends who told him of rumors circulating about him being gay.
Kordell is now happily married to his new “housewife” Porsha, a former video chick who is dumber than a box of rocks but looks great on his arm. Kordell also has a son, Syre, from a previous relationship. Married and with a child, he can’t possibly be gay…. right?

BARCELONA, Spain — Lionel Messi has been left out of Barcelona's squad for the Spanish league game at Real Zaragoza as part of the leaders' plans to rest several first-choice players to prepare for the final stretch of the season.Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and goalkeeper Jose Pinto will also miss Sunday's match.Messi injured his right hamstring last week and went on as a substitute on Wednesday while still not fully fit to help Barcelona get past Paris Saint-Germain to reach the Champions League semifinals. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/108 | {"url": "http://bostonherald.com/sports/revolution_soccer/soccer/2013/04/barcelonas_lionel_messi_to_sit_out_zaragoza_trip", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "bostonherald.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:48:49Z", "digest": "sha1:J25VZSDDUYJW5I62V5OYKRKIZQYALMII"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 877, 877.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 877, 3236.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 877, 5.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 877, 129.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 877, 0.91]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 877, 266.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 877, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 877, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 877, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 877, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 877, 0.31547619]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 877, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 877, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 877, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 877, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 877, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 877, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 877, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 877, 0.04583333]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 877, 0.05833333]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 877, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 877, 0.01785714]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 877, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 877, 0.17857143]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 877, 0.70895522]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 877, 5.37313433]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 877, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 877, 4.40234069]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 877, 134.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 50, 0.0], [50, 87, 0.0], [87, 321, 1.0], [321, 348, 0.0], [348, 877, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 50, 0.0], [50, 87, 0.0], [87, 321, 0.0], [321, 348, 0.0], [348, 877, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 50, 8.0], [50, 87, 1.0], [87, 321, 34.0], [321, 348, 5.0], [348, 877, 86.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 50, 0.0], [50, 87, 0.6], [87, 321, 0.02678571], [321, 348, 0.29166667], [348, 877, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 50, 0.0], [50, 87, 0.0], [87, 321, 0.0], [321, 348, 0.0], [348, 877, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 50, 0.08], [50, 87, 0.0], [87, 321, 0.08547009], [321, 348, 0.07407407], [348, 877, 0.06238185]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 877, 0.67483699]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 877, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 877, 0.17827177]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 877, -31.81848666]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 877, 12.40512738]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 877, 16.87924607]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 877, 5.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |
Whatever seems important at the time.
Opportunity and hindrance
I married my music teacher. While that has brought me many musical opportunities, it also keeps me from practicing as much as I might like. I hate to make student noises when she's trying to relax at home, so I tend to try to practice when she's away.For the past week she has been in California at the American String Teachers Association national conference. She did a presentation on teaching adult beginners, which was very well received. She used a poster of one of my cartoons, which was also very well received. I am going to have to set up an e-commerce site so teachers can download cartoons for a fee. She set me a deadline some time in May.Once that is up and running I suppose I can add sections on other topics. Obviously I have to learn some things.While she's been away I have had an orgy of practice. I wish I could say it had made me a lot better, but it certainly hasn't made me any worse.I still have trouble with paper training. Music tends to get into my head. I like to play while wandering around the house or standing in front of my computer speakers, harmonizing with drones on a collection I purchased from Darol Anger's website. The tracks play for about six minutes in iTunes. Oddly, it appears no longer to be available. Glad I got mine.The drones help train the ear. They also generate some weird resonances. Each drone suggests a tune to me. I'll work the riff over and over until the track changes to the next one in the sequence. The change makes me hunt around for the musical relationships that work with the steady note. Or, if I like what I've been playing, I will start the previous track over again.The Internet needs Tune Search, where you play the little scrap of tune you've picked out and it tells you what it's from, if it's from anything. If it's not from anything, congratulations, you're a composer! For the moment, you can only play it for a more experienced friend who might be able to identify it. But that risks embarrassment.Eventually I have to put away the instrument and get to bed. I've had to work every day she's been away, so I should not have been staying up as late as I have. But then the house is quiet and cold. The cats do what they can. My natural restlessness when alone keeps me up and playing. I'm even plinking stuff out on the piano with one hand while brushing my teeth.With a musician co-worker I was browsing mandolins on a website he frequents. When he bought a travel guitar there it came with a free mandolin. Crazy. But a fifty-buck mandolin sounds about like you'd expect when they can go for as much as $230,000. And we thought the one for a mere 23 grand was impressive.Looks like a solid starter instrument will go for about $200. Just thinking. The cellist and I had both been thinking one might be handy. Tuned like a violin, it offers another platform for trying out some of the same tunes. And it's easier to play when slouched on the couch in front of the tube. Why fight it?After six straight nights of practice my fingers are wrecked. But it's like when I finally got the Telemark turn. My legs were screaming, but I wasn't going to stop when things were finally working right.Learning a difficult instrument as an adult is like trying to saw down a redwood tree with a nail file. You're only going to get it if you keep at it.

Free Market Failure in a Service Economy
A sport shop in town sharpens ice skates. The owners invested thousands of dollars in a large, console-type machine to provide top-quality service to their customers.Other businesses in town have offered skate sharpening. On the basis of price, quality and the intangibles of customer service, these establishments competed for customer dollars. Gradually, all but one gave it up.The survivor, a multi-sport shop, balanced its offerings through the four seasons of each different year. It did not set out to have a monopoly on sharpening. That condition was an accident.One customer, an accountant with several hockey-playing children and ample disposable income, decided he no longer wanted to pay the established sharpening business for their services. He invested instead in his own machine.Over the years, he has developed a sort of client list among various skating groups. What is not clear is whether he is charging for his services or simply giving them away because he enjoys it.If he is giving away a service another business has made a capital investment to offer at a professional level, he is undermining the free market. He takes unfair advantage of his position, having a comfortable income from another source, to reduce the income of hard-working people who don't have the same options he does. If he is charging a rate so low that no commercial establishment could match it, he's competing unfairly, using his other income as a subsidy.From a standpoint of personal freedom, this guy should be allowed to do whatever he likes. But if his hobby involves legitimate services someone else has to charge for, its ripples travel throughout the financial world. In this microcosm you can see what dooms the fantasy of a completely free, unregulated market. Unpaid dabblers throw unmeasurable turbulence into the calculation. And they are but one variable.
The First Six Days
Helping someone grieve for one of the most important people in her life is especially hard because the thing you want most to give them is impossible to provide. You can't make it not hurt. You have to let it hurt and walk with them at their own pace.

The Adventures of Links
Posted on Friday, April 29, 2011 - 6:27 am | Leave a comment
Greetings, loved ones. LET’S TAKE A JOURNEY.
First up in links this week, we’ve got The Spectator with a compilation of the worst analogies imaginable, as submitted by their readers. My personal favorite: “The accountant had the world-weary air of a ferret that had been up so many trouser legs that life held no more surprises.” More where that came from.
Numero dos is the indomitable Chuck Wendig, who this week gives us 25 things every writer should know. It’s good stuff (though I don’t fully agree with his advice in #10, “don’t work for free”). For my money, the best one is #9, Storytelling Is Serious Business: “Treat it with respect and a little bit of reverence. Storytelling is what makes the world go around…Don’t let writing and storytelling be some throwaway thing. Don’t piss it away. It’s really cool stuff. Stories have the power to make people feel. To give a shit. To change their opinions. To change the world.”
Meanwhile Nathan Bransford has an intriguing take on confidence versus self-doubt, and how they are – in a way – the same thing. “To be able to spot your own flaws requires confidence.” Of course, while self-doubt can be a tool when applied in healthy amounts, it can also destroy you if you let it go too far. He makes that point too.
Finally, we’ve got this advice for artists: Don’t just do something, sit here. It’s about living in the moment, and it’s good advice, but I’m linking to it mainly because of the poem at the end of the article, which I would not otherwise have discovered. It’s so beautiful that I’m reproducing it here in full, because I’m afraid you might not read it otherwise.
In her room at the prow of the house
Where light breaks, and the windows are tossed with linden,
My daughter is writing a story.
I pause in the stairwell, hearing
From her shut door a commotion of typewriter-keys
Like a chain hauled over a gunwale.
Young as she is, the stuff
Of her life is a great cargo, and some of it heavy:
I wish her a lucky passage.
But now it is she who pauses,
As if to reject my thought and its easy figure.
A stillness greatens, in which
The whole house seems to be thinking,
And then she is at it again with a bunched clamor
Of strokes, and again is silent.
I remember the dazed starling
Which was trapped in that very room, two years ago;
How we stole in, lifted a sash
And retreated, not to affright it;
And how for a helpless hour, through the crack of the door,
We watched the sleek, wild, dark
And iridescent creature
Batter against the brilliance, drop like a glove
To the hard floor, or the desk-top,
And wait then, humped and bloody,
For the wits to try it again; and how our spirits
Rose when, suddenly sure,
It lifted off from a chair-back,
Beating a smooth course for the right window
And clearing the sill of the world.
It is always a matter, my darling,
Of life or death, as I had forgotten. I wish
What I wished you before, but harder.
Have a good weekend, everybody.

Let’s talk music for a second. I’m not a very musical guy, I don’t know what most of the Italian means, but – as they say – I know what I like.
You know Ode to Joy, right? I don’t mean the big German choral piece at the end of Beethoven’s Ninth, I mean just the tune itself, plain and simple, like on a piano.
I don’t know how it is for you, but to me, this tune feels…elemental. It feels basic, like wind or water, like relativity waiting for Einstein to discover it. Rationally, I know Ludwig sat down and wrote the thing at some point in the early nineteenth century. But instinctively, I can’t imagine a world without this music. You don’t write music like that; it just is.
(The fact that he did sit down and write it is, of course, a testament to his staggering genius.)
I was thinking about this the other day, and I couldn’t come up with any piece of writing that feels the same way. Probably that’s because music, as a medium, feels more “basic” than writing; words are inherently human constructs. But there are a few quotes that come close. The most obvious, for me, come from the Bible:
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1)
“And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” (Genesis 1:3)
“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 13:13)
“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)
Why these quotes? Well, they all seem very simple and deeply profound, which I suppose is what it takes. (The fact that it’s the Bible, and I’ve read it and heard it quoted all my life, is probably a factor too.)
I know lots of other quotes that are equally profound, but it’s hard to find them worded in such simple language. In fact, I just looked through my entire quotes file (an ever-growing text file where I write down any good quote I find, as I read it; it’s quite long by now) and there was really only one non-Biblical quote I could find that seemed to fit the bill:
“Be as you wish to seem.”
(This is attributed to Socrates, anyway, but I never have found a source for it. I’m wary of source-less Internet quotes.)
Anyone else know any other bits of writing (or music) like this, or even just some good quote you’d like to share? Leave it in the comments!

Posted in Uncategorized Kraken Postmortem (Minor Spoilers)
Posted on Tuesday, April 26, 2011 - 6:44 am | 4 comments
I said yesterday that I just finished reading Kraken by China Mieville. Check out that badass cover. Read me, it says, read me! So, you know, I did.
I also mentioned that I didn’t much care for the book. (In fact, I would’ve stopped reading halfway through, except that I had just previously stopped reading Clive Barker’s Weaveworld when it didn’t grab me after a hundred pages, and if you quit two books in a row, that makes you a book-quitter. Trufax.)
If you’re a writer, I think it’s important to consider why you don’t like a piece of writing. So let’s (ha! ha!) dive in…
The premise of the book is that someone has stolen a dead giant squid from its equally giant tank in a London museum, and the scientist in charge of caring for the specimen is trying to figure out whodunit. As he investigates, he delves steadily deeper into the bizarre underbelly of London, a world of squid-worshipping cults, Chaos Nazis, disembodied pigs, charmed iPods, sentient tattoos, and actual functional Star Trek phasers. The biggest question about the kraken heist is not who but why, and the whole thing is wrapped up tight with the impending apocalypse that everyone agrees is coming closer every day. Science, science fiction, fantasy, and the occult all swirl into a giant vortex of death by the time this book is over.
Now, if you’re like me, all that sounds pretty righteous so far. And I was hooked, in fact, for the first hundred pages or so. But the further I read, the more things fell apart, and not in that juicy W.B. Yeats kind of way. So what happened?
Style was an issue. Mieville’s style is light, playful, and sometimes fun to read, but he also leaves so much unsaid and uses so many difficult words and obscure references that he’s hard to follow at times. That’s a problem, but it’s not the problem.
Plot was an issue, only because there were so many layers of deception and conspiracy that it got hard to keep them all straight; but that wasn’t the problem either.
Characters were a much bigger issue; I didn’t especially like or dislike any of them, didn’t care what happened to them, didn’t get choked up when anybody died. But the characters are well-drawn, believable, likable, unique, and potentially very interesting. So why didn’t I care about them?
The real problem, I think, is that the book was just too much of a jumble. Too many disparate elements thrown together, without enough care taken to assemble it all into something coherent. Everybody says they’re worried about the end of the world, but nobody has any idea how to avoid it or even what causes it, so it’s just this disembodied plot element, floating there ominously but – pretty soon – uninterestingly. And the world is bursting with so many different kinds of weirdness, so many competing magics, that absolutely anything can happen, whenever the author wants it to. After a while it becomes a pretty much constant stream of deus ex machina, so you’re just sitting there waiting for Mieville to tell you what the answer to the mystery happens to be. By the time he finally did, I no longer cared.
The takeaway, I think, is that a story – even something deliciously crazy, where weirdness is the point, like Kraken – has to make sense. It has to have a system. The reader has to feel like he understands the rules to some extent, because if anything can happen, then he never feels like he’s backed into a corner, and then there’s no tension.
Thus sayeth Buckley.
By the way, new theme for the blog, you like it? I changed it because my friend pointed out that the old one didn’t have previous/next links on the posts, but I think the new one is just better visually, too. “Elegant Grunge,” it’s called. Classy.

What’s up, blog readers?! I am happier than a man has any right to be at 6:04 on a Monday morning. Here are five good reasons why:
1. I entered Janet Reid’s short story writing contest a while back (and when I say short, I mean a 100-word limit, so we’re talking blink-and-you’ll-miss-it stories here). Didn’t get first place, but I finished in the top four out of over a hundred contestants, so I call that a pretty good day! (Ctrl+F “buckley” on either of those pages to see my entry.) By the way, does anyone else think that judging writing quality has to be just about as hard as writing the damn stuff in the first place? I would make a terrible agent!
2. Reached 70% on Counterfeit Emperor revision. You may have heard that novel-writing is largely an exercise in sadism; that is, you make your readers fall in love with something, then you roundhouse kick that something in the jaw and stomp it while it’s down. Well, Step 2 of that process is ramping up lately, and the surprising amount it seems to hurt makes me optimistic that Step 1 is working now.
3. Finally, finally finished reading China Mieville’s Kraken. Mieville is clearly a pretty smart dude, and the book has lots of good stuff in it, but neither of those facts ever turned it into an actual good book. Postmortem tomorrow. Started on Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own, which seems like it might be good if she could take a break from her endless descriptions of architecture and scenery and conversations and get to the point already, and a line break once in a while wouldn’t hurt either. Next up after Woolf: not sure yet. Thinking about Ivanhoe.
4. Bought two new books: Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian (which I’m pretty excited about despite the fact that its subtitle, The Evening Redness in the West, is – as the Spanish say – estupido) and a collection of short stories by Katherine Mansfield (who I’d never even heard of, but apparently these are classics and the book was 50 cents, so we’re batting a hundred so far). Ms. Mansfield wrote these alleged masterpieces at the age of twenty-three, twenty-three, which I consider unsportsmanlike and totally uncalled-for.
5. My daily run is up to a mile and a half now. Running is surprisingly similar to writing, psychologically: the id going “Don’t wanna” while the superego beats it with a stout club and tosses it some endorphins at the end. Satisfying, that.
But enough about me – what news, blog readers? You never call, you never write. (Don’t call.) Anything w00t-worthy or otherwise going down in your life? Share in the comments!
Posted in Uncategorized Links Awakening
I read a lot of blogs by and about authors, agents, editors, and books in general. Some of them have a thing where every Friday they post links to their favorite content from the past week. I enjoy these Link Fridays, so I thought I’d give it a try. Not sure yet if this will be a regular thing.
First off, author Lilith Saintcrow has a great post about writers and their fear: fear of rejection, fear of failure, all the usual. She says that fear hasn’t gone away for her even as a professional author. She also points out that fear is a constant, in the sense that it will always be there, even if you don’t write. “Quitting writing will not stop the fear; it will simply take different shapes and return in other areas of your life. Accept that while you’re alive, you’re going to be afraid of shit. It’s the human condition.”
The indefatigable Chuck Wendig lists six signs you’re not ready to be a professional writer. He’s partly kidding – one of the signs is “I Still See That Glint of Magic and Hope In Your Eye” – but he has some serious points, and it’s worth a read.
A trio of literary agents has started a regular feature where masochistic authors (the only kind) send in the first page of their manuscripts, and the agents – very gently – tear them to shreds. The first first page is up now. It’s a great insight into the mind of an agent as she’s reading unsolicited submissions. Though if you’re thinking of submitting your own work, I should warn you, they’ve received over seven hundred entries already; your odds are not good.
The Intern confesses that a voice in her brain is always yelling at her to be like other authors. Her response to that voice: “You write what you write. You are what you are. And, no matter how anxious you may be to have everybody like you, you’re not going to get there by scrambling to become what you think the world wants.” Tru dat, Intern.
Finally, a great article from Today In Literature about Mark Twain’s final years. “The white suits began in 1906 — a secretary’s diary gives us the precise date of being told by “the King” to order five of them — and they suggest more than a chuckle or another self-promotion.” Good stuff, though unfortunately that link will only be valid for a couple of days unless you’re a premium subscriber (I’m not). I can’t say I really understand a content website’s decision to hide their content behind a pay wall, but Today In Literature is a good daily read anyway.
Happy Earth Day, Happy Good Friday, Happy Easter! Have a good weekend, everybody.
Posted in Uncategorized Tagged Friday Links Revision Tactics
Posted on Thursday, April 21, 2011 - 6:40 am | Leave a comment
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m working on my second pass of revision for The Counterfeit Emperor.
The first pass was largely the process of straightening out a somewhat fractured original draft, full of notes-to-self like [This character now has a totally different backstory, go back and update it everywhere before this point] and [This scene is terrible, FIX IT] that would have rendered it nearly unintelligible to a potential reader. It wasn’t until the end of the first pass that I let anybody read any of it.
At that point, I had something like eight or ten beta readers who were kind enough to give their comments: my wife, family, friends, and even a critique on my first couple of chapters from Natalie Whipple, that I won in a writing contest on her blog. Once I got everyone’s feedback, my process was very methodical. I created a text file called “Notes from critical readings.txt” (I put all my notes in text files, don’t ask me why) and carefully sifted through all the advice.
Some of it – a fairly small portion – I simply discarded. Some changes were small enough I simply made them right then and deleted them from the list. Some comments came from more than one person, so I combined those. Everything that was left, I dumped into a big list with all my own revision notes, then organized those by what part of the book they belonged to. And now, as I get to each new section of the book, I consult my list, decide what changes each revision will mean for each scene, and revise the scene accordingly.
Even that’s an oversimplification. My writing process creates lots of artifacts. I have a Timeline.xlsx, a Character Descriptions.txt, a Character Profiles.txt, a New Ending.txt, and dozens of other files that I consult regularly and not-so-regularly.
It’s complicated, but it all makes sense in my own brain.
Mostly.
I should note that all of the above is totally descriptive, not prescriptive. Everyone’s process is different, and I think most writers cringe at the thought of trying to use any other writer’s revision tactics. Do what works for you.
Second pass revision progress: 66% (Woo, two-thirds done!!) The last few days I haven’t had as much time to write as I would like, because we just had carpet installed (looks very nice, btw) but I get tomorrow off work so hopefully I can catch up then.
Posted in Uncategorized To Facilitate Comprehension, Employ the Vernacular
Posted on Wednesday, April 20, 2011 - 6:39 am | 18 comments
When I’m not hunched over my novel or sneaking you these blog posts from the depths of the Writer-Cave, I do in fact have a day job: Software Developer, Business Analyst, Computer Dude. In the course of said job, I read a lot of business writing: e-mails, product documentation, sales pitches, and so on. While much of it is fairly clear and understandable, there’s a good chunk that sounds like this (made-up) example:
This application provides visibility into the activities of the workforce. Going forward in the near term, an enhancement will be developed that grants the ability to access the application via the Internet.
When what they mean is this:
This software shows what your employees are doing. Soon we’re going to put it online.
Why do people write that way?
There are a couple of reasons, I think. First, some people believe that utilizing sesquipedalian verbiage results in a perception of intelligence – whoops, I mean, that using big words makes you look smart. They may not believe this explicitly, but there’s a sort of instict that says anything official should use official-sounding, multi-syllable Latin words. Surely, words like “show” and “help” and “fix” are just too simple for business writing, aren’t they?
But the deeper reason, I think, is simpler. People do it because other people do it. It’s what they’re used to. When writing is not your main focus, you are (understandably) less inclined to spend a lot of time thinking about it, so you just use the first words that come to mind. And if half the stuff you read sounds like that sample above, then the first words that come to mind may not be the best.
Of course, there are sometimes legitimate reasons for writing a little fluff. Let’s say you’re drafting an e-mail where your real message is “You’re lazy, and you haven’t done a damn thing for three months, so let’s get moving, huh?” Perhaps you want to soften that a bit; perfect clarity is not always best. Yet even in situations like that, there’s no need to put your sentences through the kind of verbal gymnastics we saw earlier. You can obscure your true meaning skillfully without sounding like the Architect.
I’m not the first person to rant about this. George Orwell framed the whole issue beautifully in his essay Politics and the English Language, which I highly recommend (though I quibble with a few of his minor points). My favorite part of the essay is when he takes this passage from Ecclesiastes:
I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
…and renders it in official-speak:
Objective considerations of contemporary phenomena compel the conclusion that success or failure in competitive activities exhibits no tendency to be commensurate with innate capacity, but that a considerable element of the unpredictable must invariably be taken into account.
Sad, huh? But people actually write that way. I’ll slip into it myself when I’m not careful.
Do the world a favor. To facilitate comprehension, employ the vernacular.
Be clear.
Posted in Uncategorized Poll Results, Part 2
So we were talking about last Friday’s poll, in which most of you agreed that “good afternoon” is more formal than “good morning,” and I was saying how that means words have shades of meaning beyond their basic dictionary definitions.
“Wow,” you said, “that’s genius, Brian, genius. Have you told the Nobel committee yet? Do they give prizes for blog posts? Is there maybe an award for being obvi – “
Listen, hypothetical reader, there’s no need to get snippy. I write these things on no coffee, at a time of day when all the windows are black with the darkness of ain’t no sun up yet.
But look, a few more things to point out here:
First, these extra shades of meaning will be different for different readers. A few readers said “good afternoon” and “good morning” sounded equally (in)formal, so if you were trying for a certain effect by using one or the other, it wouldn’t work on them. Same goes for referencing literature (not everyone will know the work you’re trying to evoke) and various other shades of meaning.
This stuff can be regional too, of course. A good friend of mine is in London right now. I understand that if he tried to take a “torch” on a “lift” with his “mate” over there, it might result in a lot less burning and jail time than if he tried it here. (Actual British people, feel free to mock my primitive understanding of y’all’s dialect.)
Another point is that you, as a writer, are not going to have all this stuff straight in your own brain either. One reason I did this poll in the first place is that I wasn’t even sure if “good afternoon” was more formal. “Is that right,” I said to myself in my cranium, “or is that another one of those things I dreamed up with my hash pipe, like bubble wrap armor, or the color magenta?” You don’t know! Some stuff you can look up (literary references being a good example) but a lot of subtle stuff, you have to just ask people, or wing it.
All of which segues nicely into my final point: don’t let it paralyze you.
Yes, everything you write (every – single – word) is positively dripping with subtle juices, and yes, people will judge you on all of them, and no, nobody will agree on what those subtleties are, and no, you won’t have a clue about half of them either. Don’t worry about it. I mean, do your best with it, try to manage the minutiae, but don’t get so caught up in it that you stop with the actual writing.
Actually, that applies to most writing rules, come to think of it.

Poll results! The vast majority of you (70%) said “good afternoon” sounds more formal than “good morning.” A few people didn’t have a preference, but not one person said “good morning” sounds more formal. For the record, I agree with the majority here.
Okay. So what was the point of that?
The first and biggest point is that words and phrases have many shades of meaning beyond what’s in their dictionary entries. Nothing about the words “afternoon,” “morning,” or “good,” suggests any particular degree of formality, yet somehow “good afternoon” does. Why? I don’t know. I’m sure there’s a history there, something that research could probably uncover. That’s not the point. The point is that the extra meaning is there, seemingly without reason, and you as a writer are responsible for knowing about it.
Other examples are endless. “Good day” sounds (to my ear) even more formal than “good afternoon,” though again, I couldn’t say why. If a character gets a phone call asking for Samantha, it says something different about her as a person if she answers “That’s me” versus “This is she.”
It’s not just about degrees of formality, of course. You evoke other stories and events by your word choices. For instance, you can never, ever say “final solution” – no matter how logical the phrase may be in context – without evoking Hitler. You can never use the words “gospel” or “crucify” without reminding people of Jesus. The word “columbine” means “dove-colored,” but for anyone born before 1999, it’s going to mean something else, too. If you start a chapter with the phrase “Call me [character name],” you’re referencing Moby-Dick. If you use the phrase “ineluctable modality” (as I so often do in conversation) then all of a sudden you’re talking about Ulysses.
If you use words like “proletariat” and “bourgeois,” people will wonder why you’re talking about Marxism. If you say “towards” instead of “toward,” you’re signalling that you prefer British usage to American. In the book Kraken that I’m reading now, the author China Mieville uses the nonstandard “alright” instead of the more proper “all right,” which is a sign to the reader that the book will be something a little different, a little relaxed and not bound too tight by convention (even though he uses words like “aleatory” later on).
Okay, this is turning into a longer post than I expected, and I’m running out of time this morning. I actually have other points to make besides just “words have shades of meaning.” Hold those thoughts! I’ll come back tomorrow and finish.

mine's on the 45
to find our way home, to break in these bones*
Having grown weary of a seemingly endless string of flights for the past two weeks, I opted to drive from Northern California to Southern California (and back) this week. It was illogical, really, and many of my friends told me so. But I reasoned that I'd neglected to buy a plane ticket, and now it was too expensive to fly.
I was writing down directions for the way home (I get annoyed trying to use my phone to navigate, and I do not have GPS, so yes, the world and all of its advances have passed me by), and scrawled down "then drive up I-5 until your eyeballs fall out." It is a straight shot like that. And even though it is a long, almost interminable drive, it is also mindless, and thus allows your mind to wander.
It was much needed. I had to exorcise a bunch of negativity and demons, reset my brain, examine what lies ahead. I didn't arrive at any epiphanies, not even close.
California is beautiful. There is no state like it. But then, there is no place like any other. California, I realized, has become home for me, and that long drive up and down I-5 reminded me that this might be a swan song. A goodbye, or a farewell for now. The only thing that changed along that drive is that I became more comfortable with all of the uncertainty. Take a deep breath, breathe in the sunset that tinges the sky purple against stretches of farmland and mountains, stretch that imagination and consider a different life, a new dream. But I'm just not sure of anything.
I came home, and slept, and when I woke up, I was a year older. So busy with the plates sliding beneath my feet that I didn't have time to acknowledge the passing of another year. I could have made cookies or a cake, some sure fire, trusty standby. But that's not the kind of space I'm occupying these days. So I revisited macarons, which are the most temperamental m*@!$* that a person can bake. I've already previously accepted that macarons are one of the few items that I think are worth shelling out the cash for, rather than trying to recreate at home, because they are so involved.
But I was feeling up for failure. I was feeling that sense of daring-- that willingness to roll the dice for high stakes. I was feeling extreme- I could have gone for a good, hard cry or a joyous victory dance. I was ready to accept my fate. I was ready for it to all be for nothing. And only, only when I feel like that, I think, is this possible:
There were some happy feet in my house that day.
It's not a long drive, or the baking of macarons, or any one thing that will help make this all clear. I see that much now. It's just the necessary turning myself inwards, filtering out the background noise, the external voices of right and wrong. And if I stand very still, while the macarons are baking, while the sun is setting, while the music is playing games with my heartbeat, then I'll feel the right path.
* Maybe because I am old and so an 80s vibe does nothing but make me giddy, the new Killers' single Shot At the Night is owning me right now.
brimful
Hi Brimful, I'm not sure if I have ever commented but I've been reading your blog since your SF days. The way you wrote about the city mirrored my own feelings. Your music suggestions have also been awesome (the shiver's "beauty" song is still one of my favorites). I'll take a change and suggest one - Vance Joy, "Riptide" (http://thewoundedjukebox.com/2013/07/23/vance-joy-riptide/). I hope you don't stop writing - you do it so well. :)-N

More accurate would be the "Past-a-Diving-Jeter Foundation," after the inevitable play-by-play call on any ball hit to his left.

November 19, 2012 Notes from the road: Kansas City, MO Tweet
As the lights came up on the stage of the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Bruce greeted the crowd by saying that “when you come to Kansas City, you can’t resist playing this song – so we’ll play it first!” The E Street Band launched into a brash, flamboyant arrangement of the Leiber & Stoller rhythm and blues classic. Featured prominently, the E Street Horns came to the front of the stage for the last third of the song and helped Bruce lead the crowd in the “hey, hey, hey, hey” closing verse.
Following an energetic run through “Prove It All Night,” “Candy’s Room,” and “She’s the One” (with the “Not Fade Away” introduction), Bruce prefaced “My City of Ruins” by greeting the audience, “Hello, Kansas City, Missouri… That’s the ‘Show-Me’ State? We’re here tonight because we’re gonna fuckin’ show you something. We didn’t travel all this way for nothing!”
Several requests were granted tonight, starting with “Fire,” a sign that Steve specifically pointed out to Bruce. The next sign pulled out of the pile resulted in a particularly delicate performance of “Incident on 57th Street,” Bruce conducting Roy Bittan to carry the piano outro of “Incident” straight into “Because the Night,” to great effect. Usually a spotlight moment for Nils Lofgren, Bruce surprised everyone by instead calling for Steve Van Zandt to take the guitar solo, and he stepped up with aplomb as both Bruce and Nils watched approvingly.
The band’s previous scheduled stop in Kansas City, on the Working on a Dream tour, had to be cancelled due to the death of Bruce’s cousin, Lenny Sullivan. That night back in 2009 was to have included a performance of the entire Born in the U.S.A. album, so it was perhaps not coincidental that Bruce included a triple-shot of rarities from that album in the middle of this show: “Cover Me” (as requested by a brassiere thrown on stage on which the song’s title was written, much to Bruce’s amusement), a powerful rendition of “Downbound Train,” and the ladies’ favorite (judging by the crowd reaction), “I’m on Fire.”
Opening the encore, Bruce recalled the show cancellation, noting that “I hope we didn’t inconvenience our fans too badly” and that cancelling was “something that we don’t take lightly.” He then proceeded to dedicate “My Beautiful Reward” to Lenny: “he was a good soul.” It was beautifully played by the band, with solos from Soozie on violin and Nils on the pedal steel guitar.
This rarely-played track from Lucky Town was a poignant choice, particularly as the band dropped out for Bruce to sing the final verse: “Tonight I can feel the cold wind at my back / I’m flyin’ high over gray fields, my feathers long and black / Down along the river’s silent edge I soar / Searching for my beautiful reward.”

WTF? Author Edits Lincoln
I enjoy Thomas Lowry’s books. I think of them as the People magazine of Civil War literature, and not in a bad way. You can read the books in short bursts, putting them down for a while and returning to them later without losing the “flow” of single narrative works. But this is just too much – via the National Archives Facebook page I learn that Dr. Lowry has admitted to changing the date on a pardon issued by Abraham Lincoln in order to give it more importance than it would otherwise have (though I imagine to the subject of the pardon and his heirs, if any, the importance of said date is secondary). Here’s the story from a National Archives press release, and here’s a video explaining what happened:
Sure enough, the document is in Basler, on page 298 of Vol. VII, with the correct date. It’s been there since 1953. Can this be any more blatant? And how could it have been missed by NARA and Lincoln scholars for thirteen years? While Dr. Lowry no doubt deserves the approbation sure to be heaped upon him, there are a lot of other folks who look foolish right about now.
This will of course call into question the accuracy – the honesty – of all Dr. Lowry’s work.
Update – denials from the doctor here. Thanks to Kevin.

Russell S. Bonds (17:19:12) : On your latter point, Harry, it occurs to me that some poor National Archives staffer will now be charged with spending the next several months poring over with a magnifying glass every collection Lowry ever looked at.
Brett Schulte (17:52:11) : Wow. I’ve read one or tow of Lowry’s books myself. I cannot ever imagine changing a historical document for my own personal gain. That is incredibly disappointing, as as Russ mentioned, the obvious next question is, “What else has this guy changed?”
Will Hickox (21:06:33) : Is that the actual document? The forged “5″ looks rather obvious to me.
Harry Smeltzer (08:18:55) : Yes, it’s the actual document (magnified a few times, of course).

Craig Swain (15:27:47) : With all due respect to the professional historians and archivists chiming in on the topic, the more I read on this news item, the more it sounds like a tempest in a teapot. The change of date caused no major revisions of our interpretation of history. At best, we will change the answer to a trivia question. Nobody got injured by Lowry’s action, save perhaps Lowry himself (or a few staffers at the Archives who might answer for the slip in security). In the end, the historical record was set straight. A “Lincoln” paper has a smudge on it. And that’s about it?
I can think of two other incidents involving the National Archives where significant damage was done – I’m talking national security, people’s lives placed at risk, and major links in the historical record completely lost – from the last five years.
Will Hickox (19:29:02) : Couldn’t agree with you less. Suppose the NA staffer had decided not to act on his suspicions? The historical record would not have been set straight, the false date would have remained a fact, and the forger a hero for making the “discovery.” As someone who has done research in that truly remarkable collection called the National Archives–and has felt the thrill of holding a document written in the hand of someone I’ve researched–I’m a little surprised to see you wave off this defacement of a historical document for the perpetrator’s own fame as a mere “smudge.” No one, however (as far as I can tell) is suggesting that this violation was/is more serious than the incidents you mention.
Chris Evans (19:46:58) : I totally agree Will. That is not right what he did in trying to change the historical record. Some other person could be encouraged by his dastardly example to try to change other things from American and World history. He is a fraud for changing the date and should be ashamed. It is not a little deal when dealing with Lincoln and American history.
Craig Swain (21:40:42) : How so? As pointed out here and elsewhere, the record was already set and published in a compilation of the Lincoln files some decades earlier. As several distinguished historians have pointed out at length in the last two days, nobody in academia even considered Lowry’s interpretation seriously (or at least that is the line they are using today). What we have here is vandalism, to be sure, but nothing that shakes the foundation of the historical record. If you believe otherwise, please explain how this one little document somehow changes the way we view Lincoln, his last day, or anything that happened between 1861 and 1865. And I’m not asking for some high level generalization. Be specific. Why is this document important to anyone, save perhaps autograph collectors?
Will Hickox (22:25:54) : Whether or not this document changes our view of Lincoln isn’t the issue. The issue is that it’s an original Lincoln document that was apparently modified by a trusted researcher in pursuit of kudos, increased publicity and possibly money.
Another issue lies in the fact that “the record was already set and published in a compilation of the Lincoln files some decades earlier,” as you point out, and yet nobody until very recently appears to have checked the original against that compilation.
Craig Swain (05:28:51) : And do you believe that every document “on record” or in the archives lays in an unaltered state? Better still, to properly place this incident in perspective, do a web search for “Sandy Berger” and “9/11 Commission”. I’ll stop my comment at that because as the next logical points edge close to our host’s rules for behavior.
Chris Evans (01:00:41) : It should be important to the American people that some rascal is going into the National Archives and changing original Lincoln documents for his own self glory.
Brooks D. Simpson (22:44:44) : Craig, I would not say “nobody.” Never would have. Some people were apparently quite thrilled. Others simply never heard about it until this week.
The Lowry Kerfuffle « Bull Runnings (21:48:16) : [...] this post I linked to stories about Thomas P. Lowry and his apparent doctoring of an Abraham Lincoln [...]
Dick Stanley (00:35:32) : That’s just incredible, that anyone would change a date on a historical document. He must have snuck the pen in since all the archives I’ve ever been in refuse to let you have anything but a pencil and a few sheets of paper. Of course they rely on your honor and if you have none, as Lowry apparently has none, then you could do anything. But what insolence, rewriting Lincoln.
Harold Holzer’s Excellent Diversion | Crossroads (03:37:11) : [...] that Mr. Holzer calls Dr. Lowry “this gifted scholar.” Recall what Harry Smeltzer said on Bull Runnings: “While Dr. Lowry no doubt deserves the approbation sure to be heaped upon [...]

Winnebago recognized as top motor home manufacturer
Thursday, February 14, 2013 11:10 AM
Winnebago Industries Inc., of Forest City, has been recognized by Statistical
Surveys Inc. as the top performing motor home manufacturer in the country in
2012. In the U.S. motor home retail registration report issued

manufacturer for Class A and Class C motor homes in the calendar year, with a
market share of 20.6 percent, up from 19 percent in 2011. Volume growth in 2012

March 7/09 9:24 am - Tour de PEI Returns for 2009Posted by Editor on 03/7/09 The Tour de PEI organizing committee is gearing up for the return of world-class cycling across Prince Edward Island.Tour de PEI, presented by Scotiabank, showcases Prince Edward Island's seaside villages and idyllic countryside as a premiere cycling destination for both the elite and amateur rider. Now entering its third year, Tour de PEI has established itself in the International cycling community as a must-attend event for many of the World's top female cyclists.International media, cycling governing bodies, and the participating cyclists are giving the previous two installments of Tour de PEI rave reviews; the Canadian Cycling Association praised the event with the Road Event Organizer of the Year award in 2007. Again this year, organizers are receiving requests from Olympic-calibre cyclists around the world who are vying for a spot in the race. About 100 elite cyclists are expected to compete in this year's Tour.The 2009 edition of Tour de PEI is scheduled for June 7-11. There will be five stages:Stage 1: Summerside, Sunday, June 7 - Tour 2009 will kick off in the City of Summerside with cyclists following the same route as in previous years. The City can expect to host plenty of spectators for Tour's only weekend date. In addition, cycling enthusiasts will be pleased to learn that an amateur race will be held on the Summerside circuit prior to the main event.Stage 2: Confederation Bridge, Monday, June 8 - Beginning in Cape Jourimain, New Brunswick, the individual time trials will once again see cyclists compete against the clock in a race toward Prince Edward Island across the longest bridge over ice-covered waters, the 12.9 kilometre-long Confederation Bridge.Stage 3: Kensington to North Rustico, Tuesday, June 9 - As in 2008, riders will embark on a challenging road race through almost every major hill and valley central Prince Edward Island has to offer. The ladies will depart the sea of cheering school children in Kensington and continue on Route 20 through Parks Corner, along Route 8 through Freetown to Kinkora and Route 224 to New Glasgow, before sprinting to the finish in North Rustico.Stage 4: Dalvay to Montague to Georgetown, Wednesday, June 10 - In an effort to shine the International spotlight on even more of Prince Edward Island, organizers welcome a new finish line host to this scenic road race. Cyclists will once again depart the beautiful National Park and ride deep into Kings County, looping twice through Pooles Corner before concluding in the County's capital, Georgetown.Stage 5: Charlottetown, Thursday, June 11 - Due to the Homburg Hotel construction site on Grafton Street, the preferred course that was used for the previous editions of Tour will not be available. In conjunction with the City of Charlottetown and all parties involved, we are now in the process of selecting a new course that will permit a tremendous event and a fantastic crowd.In addition to the elite event, Tour de PEI will also feature amateur, celebrity and children's races, as well as a finish line concert to kick start the Confederation Bridge summer Concert Series. A portion of the proceeds from these events will benefit the Queen Elizabeth and Prince County Hospital Foundations. Details will be announced at a later date.Athlete profiles, detailed schedules, route maps, and regularly updated information can be found online at www.tourdepei.com.

Given its precipitous rise, REGN is due for a correction. Its PE has been gamed using a $470M tax credit to bring it from 53 to 40. Further, the company's blockbuster product Eylea has generated substantial sales, over the past two years, leading to the appearance of success. However, the company's upcoming products do not have the same footing as Eylea and are not ready for market. In order for REGN to maintain its upward climb, it would need a product like Eylea to be put onto market immediately. This could drive its price further, as high as $495 per share, however, macro conditions are as much a factor and Regeneron's innovations. If you are going to play the market, I suggest you play Regeneron. If the market goes south, Regeneron will lead it there

s&p 4 star:August 19, 2013S&P RAISES OPINION ON SHARES OF REGENERON PHARMA TO BUY FROM HOLD ON VALUATION (REGN 229.56 ****): We keep our forward P/E-based target price at $284, but now view REGN's valuation as attractive following a 15% decline since reporting Q2 earnings earlier this month. We attribute the share price weakness to signs of moderating sales growth of Eylea for eye disease wet AMD. While we expect long-term competition for the franchise, we see its approval for diabetes macular edema, likely by '15, providing a long-term growth driver. We also anticipate robust news flow from its clinical pipeline over the coming months, led by Phase III candidate Alirocumab for high cholesterol. /S.Silver~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~August 29, 2013REGN announces Eylea (aflibercept) Injection has been approved by the European Commission for the treatment of visual impairment due to Macular Edema Secondary to Central Retinal Vein Occlusion (CRVO). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Today:RBC says increased likelihood of a bill increasing FDA's power to regulate compounding pharmacies, especially those who produce large volumes of compounded drug and ship them across state lines, increases the likelihood of a shift away from Avastin to REGN's Eylea.

I originally laid out a very compelling thesis for buying Regeneron when the share price was below 50, and came very close to buying it but the stock never met my arbitrary GBMB threshold. Now I find myself buying 30 shares for the #zzporte collaboration at 280, which is rather infuriating. Nevertheless, it's a good reminder that one of the psychological inhibitors of outperformance is reluctance to buy a stock just because a low was missed. Stocks shouldn't be bought just because they're going up, but they shouldn't be boycotted for that reason either.Aside from the massive sales outperformance of Eylea, Regeneron has numerous late stage compounds in development including sarilumab for rheumatoid arthritis and alirocumab for hypercholesterolemia. They are also in late stage trials to broaden the indications for Eylea. Now that quarterly revenues are approaching half a billion dollars and the market cap has passed 27 billion, I don't feel well-qualified to make a fair value assessment so I'm limited to following Portefeuille's recommendation here.

Very well run, finally a marketable product in Eylea. Great pipeline. I've owned since 1997, mainly because Dr. Roy Vagelos got invovled after retiring from Merck. He attracted a lot of early funding. They comapny is expanding their R&D and headquaters facility in Tarrytown and adding 400 to staff. Plenty of funding deals available for them now.

Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry Gardening by Matt SlickSome people might not think that parenting is a part of apologetics. But, it is. Christian parents have a great deal of influence in what their children think about the Lord. After all, isn't the goal of Christian parents to bring their children up in the ways of the Lord (Prov. 22:6) so that they will serve God and glorify Him? Apologetics is the defense of the Christian faith. The parents live that faith in their homes and are a real example of its defense. How? The parents are the ones who govern the home, urge the children to trust in Christ, and exemplify Christian attitudes and practice. All of this is living the faith, and it is a profound statement of its validity -- or invalidity, depending on how the parents live out what they say they profess. If they confess Christ with their lips and live lives that are unsanctified and speak words that are unholy, then what are they teaching their children about the power of the gospel? Are they making a strong and able defense of the faith or are they really undermining it by their actions and deeds? On the other hand, if parents confess Christ and live godly, humble, sanctified lives before their children, then they are demonstrating the truth of Christianity in the harmony and consistency of their words and deeds. This is most important and profound not only because it is what we are all called to do as Christians, but also because of the great benefit it has on the children in relation to their developing faith in Christ. Example is often greater than words in power. After dinner in our home, we regularly have devotions. I get the Bible and set it before me at the head of the table. My children all know to become quiet and attentive. I then ask each one various questions about who Jesus is, what He has done, what the Bible is, what it is about, etc. The questions are age-appropriate. Then, after a brief discussion, I read a chapter out of the Bible. Sometimes we talk about it, and other times we don't depending on the topic, interest, etc. I then pray and dinner is over. My children are exposed to the word of God on a regular basis by the head of the family and they hear and see it take the place of preeminence in our home. Furthermore, our children know that there is a right and wrong because they hear it from the Bible. They know that my wife and I are subject to the Lord and to His word. They see that we are seeking to guide them in the ways of the Lord. However, some say that we shouldn't push our children towards believing in Christ and that we should let them make their own decisions about Christianity when they get older. What do you think? Two men were discussing the raising of children. The first man said that they were free will creatures and should not be constrained by the prejudices of the parents in spiritual matters, but that they should be allowed to grow on their own and make their own decisions about God. The second man said nothing about this, but instead asked, "Would you like to see my garden?" The first man, surprised by the change in subject, said, "Yes, I would." They went outside and the second man pointed to a small plot of ground where weeds and crab grass were growing. "Here it is," he said. "This is my garden." The first looked at the second man, confused, and said, "My friend. This is no garden. It is a thicket of weeds." The second man said, "Yes, I know. I allowed this garden to grow on its own without any direction and guidance." Our natures are selfish and sinful. The job of the parents is to direct and guide the lives of our children so that they develop into fine godly adults. Left to their own direction and desires, how many children would choose the higher way? How many would seek to be humble, loving, kind, sharing, and patient because it is right? How many of them would naturally seek to subject themselves to the Lordship of Jesus? We parents have to constantly train our children in virtues and constantly train them to submit to the Lord. We do not have to train them to be selfish, mean, and complaining. How much more should we as parents be guiding our children in the ways of the Lord, living and exemplifying the truth of Christianity in our homes so that we don't undermine the truth of the gospel in the very hearts of those whom God has given to us to raise? Your home is your first ministry and your children are great gifts from God. Do not take that responsibility lightly. God will require an accounting from you regarding your children.

UNITED STATES v. BRYAN, 339 U.S. 323 (1950)
UNITED STATES v. BRYAN.
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT. No. 99. Argued December 15, 1949.
Decided May 8, 1950.
Respondent was the executive secretary and had custody of the records of an association which was under investigation by the Committee on Un-American Activities of the House of Representatives. The Committee issued and served upon respondent a subpoena directing her to produce before the Committee, at a stated time, specified records of the association. Respondent appeared before the Committee, but refused to produce the records on the ground that the Committee was without constitutional right to demand them. Respondent was indicted, tried and convicted for willful default in violation of R. S. 102, 2 U.S.C. 192. Held:
1. The presence of a quorum of the Committee at the time of the return to the subpoena was not an essential element of the offense (Christoffel v. United States, 338 U.S. 84
, distinguished); and, when the Government introduced evidence that respondent had been validly served with a lawful subpoena directing her to produce records within her custody and control and that on the return day she intentionally failed to comply, it made out a prima facie case of willful default. Pp. 327-330.
2. The defense of lack of a quorum was not available to respondent under the circumstances of this case. Pp. 330-335.
(a) When a witness seeks to excuse a default on grounds of inability to comply with a subpoena, the defense must fail in the absence of a showing of even a modicum of good faith in responding to the subpoena. P. 332.
(b) Respondent having made no objection to the lack of a quorum on her appearance before the Committee, having relied on other grounds for noncompliance with the subpoena, and having raised the quorum question for the first time on her trial two years later, she cannot rely upon the defense of lack of a quorum on her trial for willful default. Pp. 332-335.
3. The trial court did not err in permitting the Government to read to the jury the testimony that respondent had given before the Committee when called upon to produce the records. Pp. 335-343. [339 U.S. 323, 324]
(a) R. S. 859, now 18 U.S.C. 3486, which provides that "No testimony given by a witness before . . . any committee of either House . . . shall be used as evidence in any criminal proceeding against him in any court, except in a prosecution for perjury committed in giving such testimony," did not bar the use, at respondent's trial for willful default under R. S. 102, of the testimony given by her before the Committee. Pp. 337-340.
(b) In R. S. 859 the term "any criminal proceeding" does not apply to a prosecution for willful default under R. S. 102. Pp. 338, 342-343.
(c) Congress intended the immunity provided by R. S. 859 to apply only to past criminal acts concerning which a witness may be called to testify. Pp. 339-343.
84 U.S. App. D.C. 394, 174 F.2d 525, reversed.
Respondent was convicted of a violation of R. S. 102, for failure to produce records in compliance with a subpoena of the Committee on Un-American Activities of the House of Representatives. 72 F. Supp. 58. The Court of Appeals reversed. 84 U.S. App. D.C. 394, 174 F.2d 525. This Court granted certiorari. 338 U.S. 846
. Reversed, p. 343.
Solicitor General Perlman argued the cause for the United States. With him on the brief were Assistant Attorney General Campbell, Robert S. Erdahl, Philip R. Monahan and Felicia H. Dubrovsky.
O. John Rogge and Benedict Wolf argued the cause and filed a brief for respondent.
MR. CHIEF JUSTICE VINSON delivered the opinion of the Court.
Respondent is the executive secretary of an organization known as the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee (hereinafter referred to as the association) and as such has custody of its records. Prior to April 4, 1946, the Committee on Un-American Activities of the House of [339 U.S. 323, 325]
Representatives, which was conducting an investigation into the activities of the association, had attempted without success to procure these records from respondent and from the chairman of the association's executive board, Dr. Edward K. Barsky. On March 29, 1946, the Committee issued subpoenas to each of the known members of the executive board summoning them to appear in the Committee's room on April 4, 1946, at 10 a. m., to testify and produce certain specified records of the association, and an identical subpoena directed to the association by name was served upon respondent Bryan in her official capacity.
Bryan and the members of the executive board appeared before the Committee at the date and time set out in the subpoenas and in response thereto. Each person so summoned failed to produce any of the records specified in the subpoenas. The members of the executive board made identical statements in which each declared that he or she did not have possession, custody or control of the records; that Miss Bryan, the executive secretary, did. Respondent admitted that the records were in her possession but refused to comply with the subpoena because "after consulting with counsel [she] came to the conclusion that the subpena was not valid" because the Committee had no constitutional right to demand the books and records. Asked whether the executive board supported her action, she refused to answer because she did not think the question pertinent.
The Committee on Un-American Activities then submitted its report and resolution to the House. Setting out at length the Committee's attempts to procure the records of the association, the report concludes:
"The willful and deliberate refusal of Helen R. Bryan and the members of the executive board of the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee as named herein to [339 U.S. 323, 326]
produce the books, papers, and records called for in the subpoenas deprives your committee of evidence necessary in the conduct of its investigation of the Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee, which evidence is pertinent to the said investigation and places the said persons in contempt of the House of Representatives of the United States."
The resolution directing the Speaker to certify the Committee's report to the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia for legal action was approved by the full House after debate.
Respondent was indicted for violation of R. S. 102,
in that she had failed to produce the records called for in the subpoenas and had thereby wilfully made default. At the trial she contended, inter alia, that she was not guilty of wilful default because a quorum of the Committee on Un-American Activities had not been present when she appeared on the return day. However, the trial court withdrew that issue from the jury's consideration by instructing the jury "as a matter of law, that the Committee on Un-American Activities of the House of Representatives was a validly constituted committee of the Congress, and was at the time of the defendant's appearance." [339 U.S. 323, 327]
Respondent was found guilty, 72 F. Supp. 58, but the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, one judge dissenting, reversed the judgment on the ground that the presence of a quorum of the Committee at the hearing on April 4, 1946, was a material question of fact in the alleged offense and should have been submitted to the jury. 84 U.S. App. D.C. 394, 174 F.2d 525. We granted a writ of certiorari, 338 U.S. 846
, to consider this important question affecting the procedures of congressional committees.
First. R. S. 102 was enacted in 1857. Its purpose, as stated by its sponsors, was to avoid the procedural difficulties which had been experienced by the House of Representatives when persons cited for contempt of the House were brought before its bar to show cause why they should not be committed, and, more important, to permit the imprisonment of a contemnor beyond the expiration of the current session of Congress.
Transmission of the fact of the commission of a contempt to the prosecuting authority is made under the Seal of the House or Senate by the Speaker or President of the Senate.
The judicial proceedings are intended as an alternative method of vindicating the authority of Congress to compel the disclosure of facts which are needed in the fulfillment of the legislative function. In re Chapman, 166 U.S. 661, 671
-672 (1897); Jurney v. MacCracken, 294 U.S. 125, 151
"Default" is, of course, a failure to comply with the summons. In this case we may assume, without deciding, that the subpoena served on respondent required her to produce the records of the association before the Committee on Un-American Activities, sitting as a committee.
Upon that assumption, respondent takes the position that, absent a quorum, the Committee was without power to receive the records on the return day; that she cannot be guilty of a default in failing to produce papers before an "agency organizationally defective," which, for that reason, "cannot be obstructed." Respondent does not and cannot, in view of the jury's verdict, contest the finding that she deliberately and intentionally refused to produce the papers called for in the subpoena. Her contention is that a quorum of the Committee was required to meet to witness her refusal. Reliance is placed upon certain precedents of the House of Representatives, which hold that a committee report may be challenged in the House on the ground that a quorum of the committee was not present when the report was approved, and upon this [339 U.S. 323, 329]
Court's recent decision in Christoffel v. United States, 338 U.S. 84
The Christoffel case is inapposite. For that decision, which involved a prosecution for perjury before a congressional committee, rests in part upon the proposition that the applicable perjury statute requires that a "competent tribunal" be present when the false statement is made. There is no such requirement in R. S. 102. It does not contemplate some affirmative act which is made punishable only if performed before a competent tribunal, but an intentional failure to testify or produce papers, however the contumacy is manifested. Respondent attempts to equate R. S. 102 with the perjury statute considered in the Christoffel case by contending that it applies only to the refusal to testify or produce papers before a committee - i. e., in the presence of a quorum of the committee. But the statute is not so limited. In the first place, it refers to the wilful failure by any person "to give testimony or to produce papers upon any matter under inquiry before . . . any committee of either House of Congress," not to the failure to testify before a congressional committee. And the fact that appearance before a committee is not an essential element of the offense is further emphasized by additional language in the statute, which, after defining wilful default in the terms set out above, continues, "or who, having appeared, refuses to answer any question pertinent to the question under inquiry, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, . . . ." (Emphasis supplied.)
It is clear that R. S. 102 is designed to punish the obstruction of inquiries in which the Houses of Congress or their committees are engaged. If it is shown that such an inquiry is, in fact, obstructed by the intentional withholding of documents, it is unimportant whether the subpoenaed person proclaims his refusal to respond before [339 U.S. 323, 330]
the full committee, sends a telegram to the chairman, or simply stays away from the hearing on the return day. His statements or actions are merely evidence from which a jury might infer an intent to default. A proclaimed refusal to respond, as in this case, makes that intent plain. But it would hardly be less plain if the witness embarked on a voyage to Europe on the day before his scheduled appearance before the committee.
Of course a witness may always change his mind. A default does not mature until the return date of the subpoena, whatever the previous manifestations of intent to default. But when the Government introduced evidence in this case that respondent had been validly served with a lawful subpoena directing her to produce records within her custody and control, and that on the day set out in the subpoena she intentionally failed to comply, it made out a prima facie case of wilful default.
Second. It is argued, however, that even if the Government is not required to prove presence of a quorum affirmatively, lack of a quorum is a defense raising material questions of fact which should have been submitted to the jury. The theory is that if the subpoena required production of the records before the Committee on Un-American Activities qua committee, respondent could not have complied with the subpoena in the absence of a quorum had she wished to do so, and therefore her default is not wilful, albeit deliberate and intentional. While she did not introduce any direct evidence at the trial, respondent appropriately raised the defense by cross-examination and by her motions, requests and objections.

St. Barbara, Virgin and Martyr
by Father Francis Xavier Weninger, 1876
The holy virgin and martyr, St. Barbara, who, from the most ancient times, has been celebrated in the whole Christian world, was born of heathen parents in Nicomedia, of Bithynia. She was much beloved by her father, Dioscorus, on account of her unusual intelligence. He appointed a tower as a special place, well fitted up, for her dwelling, and chose the best masters to instruct her in art and science, but especially in paganism, as he feared she might be induced to unite herself to one not agreeable to him, or be seduced by the Christians, of whom he was a great enemy. But just this solicitude of her father gave her cause to think, and thus to arrive at the knowledge of the true God. She contemplated the heavens, the sun, moon and stars, in their regular course; she meditated on the changing of the seasons; looked on the wonderful creation of the world and its inhabitants, and justly concluded from it that there must be a Creator--that He alone must be the true God, and that the gods she worshipped had no power. To these contemplations she united prayers, and also led a most blameless life. The Almighty, who forsakes not one who aids himself, gave her opportunity to become instructed in the Christian religion, and to receive holy baptism, without the knowledge of her father. Meanwhile, a suitor for her hand came to her father and asked his consent. Dioscorus was not unwilling to grant the wish, as the young man was his equal in rank and wealth; but he would make his daughter acquainted with the offer he had received for her before he gave his word. Barbara had a great many objections; and her father, who did not desire that she should hastily give her consent, and would not coerce her, urged her no further; and as he was about to set out on a long journey, he thought it but right to give her some time for consideration. Barbara requested to have, for her greater comfort, a bathingroom added to her dwelling, which Dioscorus gladly granted her. The object of the holy virgin was, to have a special apartment where, with those who, like herself, were secretly Christians, she could pray to the true God. The father ordered two windows for the new room; Barbara, however, had a third added, in honor of the three Divine Persons in the mystery of the Holy Trinity. The room was, by the pagan's order, adorned with idolatrous statues, with which the holy virgin would gladly have dispensed. Looking at them, she wept over the blindness of her father, who desired that she should worship them as gods. Going from one to another, she spat upon them, saying: "Those who honor you as gods are worthy to be turned into what you are made of--wood and stone." After this, she went to a column of marble, and with her fingers pressed the sign of the cross upon it, as if it had been wax. After her death, the health of many infirm, who devoutly kissed this miraculous cross, was restored.
No sooner had her father returned from his journey, than he desired to know his daughter's resolution. Already prepared by prayer for the approaching struggle, she said, unhesitatingly, that she would never consent to marry a pagan, as, being a Christian, she had chosen a much more noble spouse, Christ the Lord. Her father was speechless at this unexpected answer, and, when able to control himself, told her either to renounce Christ, or prepare herself for the most cruel death. The greater the wrath of the blind Dioscorus became, the more fearless was Barbara. This enraged him so greatly, that he seized his sword to take her life on the spot. Barbara, to escape his rage, fled, while her father, sword in hand, pursued her out of the city. According to an ancient legend, the fugitive virgin came to a rock, which miraculously opened, thus offering her a passage, and shielded her, for the moment, against her father's wrath. The latter, however, was not touched by this visible miracle, but passed over the mountain and pursued the maiden, as the hound pursues the deer. Barbara had, meanwhile, taken refuge in a cave, and would not have been found had not two shepherds informed the infuriated father of her retreat. Hastening towards the place, he found her praying. No tiger could assail his prey with more rage than this tyrant assailed his innocent child. He threw her on the ground, stamped upon her with his feet, beat her, and finally dragged her by the hair into the hut of a peasant, where he locked her up, until he had her brought back to his house by soldiers. Now began her martyrdom, which was so severe, that what she had before suffered was as nothing in comparison; for, Dioscorus was determined to force her to deny Christ. Seeing, at last, that all was in vain, he gave her up to the governor, Martian, that she might be dealt with according to the laws of the land.
Martian at first showed compassion for the Saint, in consideration for her youth, and endeavored to win her by flattery and kind words. Not succeeding in this, he had recourse to severity, and had her whipped with scourges, until her whole body seemed to be but one great wound. After this, she was dragged to a dungeon, where she was left to die. The Almighty, however, who had destined her to still more glorious combats, sent an Angel during the night, who healed all her wounds, and encouraged her to perseverance, with the promise that she would overcome all tortures by Divine assistance. The following day she was again brought before Martian, who, not comprehending how Barbara had been healed, ascribed it to his gods. The virgin, however, said: " No, no, Martian! Wood and stone, of which your idols are made, have not this power. It is the work of the God of heaven and earth, whom I worship as the only true God, and for whose honor I am willing to die." Martian, full of anger at these words, ordered her to be tormented more cruelly than on the previous day. After her body was all bruised and wounded, she was barbarously burned with torches, and at last both her breasts were cut off. The torture was very great, but the eagerness of Barbara to suffer for Christ's sake was still greater. She gave no sign of pain, but turning her eyes to heaven, said: "Let not thy hand, O Lord, forsake me! In Thee I am full of strength; without Thee, I am powerless!" A new martyrdom followed after this. The tyrant commanded her to be scourged in public through all the streets of the city. This was more terrible to her than all her previous tortures; hence she turned to the Almighty, praying humbly that she might not be exposed to the eyes of the heathen. She was immediately surrounded by a bright lustre, that veiled her form from all eyes. The barbarous Dioscorus was present at the martyrdom of his holy daughter, from beginning to end, and not only looked with satisfaction at the whipping, burning, and cutting, but animated the executioners in their cruelties; and when Martian, at last, sentenced Barbara to be beheaded, he asked, as a favor, to be allowed to take the place of the executioner, and behead his daughter. Having obtained his request, Dioscorus took her to a neighboring mountain, followed by a great crowd of people. Barbara rejoiced to be thought worthy to die for Christ's sake; and no sooner had she reached the mountain, than she again thanked God for all the graces that He had bestowed upon her, and begged Him to assist her to the end. A voice was heard from on high, which invited the undaunted martyr to come and receive the crown that awaited her. Kneeling down, she bared her neck, and received from her father the fatal stroke. She was hardly twenty years of age.
Juliana, a pious woman, who had been present at the martyrdom, burned with the holy desire to give her life, also, for Christ, and was beheaded on the same day, after she had suffered great torments. Her body was laid beside the body of St. Barbara; but her soul followed the soul of the fearless virgin into heaven,
Quite different was the end of the inhuman father. Whilst he was descending from the mountain, with the blood of his innocent child still on his hands, a terrible thunder-storm arose, during which he was struck by lightning, and sank dead upon the ground. Thus the father went to hell on the same day on which his daughter ascended triumphantly to heaven. We must not omit to remark that St. Barbara is especially invoked in the whole Christian world for the grace of receiving the last sacrament before death; and many facts have shown that this invocation has the desired effect.
PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS.
I. St. Barbara was executed by her own father, because she would not obey him, and deny the Christian faith. Dioscorus, the father, became the murderer of his own daughter. St. Barbara was right in not obeying her father; for when parents command anything that is against God, as the wicked Dioscorus did, children are not obliged to obey. In such circumstances, we must obey God, not our parents. Dioscorus's deed in beheading his own daughter, because of her constancy in the Christian faith, was most wicked; and as he, to all appearances, died in his wickedness, he now justly suffers in hell. Still greater punishment shall those parents suffer in hell, who deprive their children of their eternal life, and kill their soul by preventing them from doing good, and tempting them, by words and by examples, to do evil: for the spiritual, the eternal life is so much more to be valued than that of the body. Parents, therefore, should take good care that they do not become spiritual murderers of their children; as, otherwise, the precious blood which ransomed those souls will cry for vengeance against them before the Judgment-seat of the Most High. "The wickedness of others has been our ruin; our parents have been our murderers." Thus, according to St. Cyprian, will those children cry, standing before the eternal Judge. Children also, should be on their guard, and not allow their parents to lead them to sin, and consequently to destruction. To say before the Judgment-seat of the Almighty: "Our parents brought us to the path of sin," will not be sufficient to excuse them, for, their own conscience will answer: "You knew that obedience was not required, when your parents commanded you to act contrary to the laws of God."
II. St. Barbara is the special patroness of the dying. Her intercession has obtained for many, the grace not to die suddenly, or without having received the holy Sacraments. Try to obtain this grace, by honoring her and begging earnestly for it. But while doing this, do not neglect anything that you are obliged to do to obtain what you desire. Prepare yourself in time for death, and keep yourself in such a manner, that if anything should happen to you, you may not die unhappily; for, God has nowhere promised that these who ask the intercession of St. Barbara, will be saved from a sudden death; but He has commanded you to keep yourself prepared for death, if you desire that your last hour should be calm and happy. It is the greatest folly to postpone preparation for death, penance, reformation of life, or perhaps even the confession of certain sins, from one day to another, from one year to another, from health to sickness, and in sickness to the very last hour of life, in the thought that we can always obtain pardon. Of those who act in such a manner, St. Augustine says: "They seduce themselves, they deceive themselves, and play with death. It is highly dangerous, extremely foolish, and a horror to God, if we postpone anything on which our whole eternity depends, until the last convenient opportunity." "If you tell me," says St. Chrysostom, "that God has given many sinners time to convert themselves at the end of their lives, then I will ask you: Will He give it also to you? where is your assurance of it?" And of how many do we know with certainty that they obtained pardon in their last hour? St. Bernard says: "In the entire Scripture, only one is mentioned, the thief who was crucified with our Lord; one, that you may not despair; only one, that you may not presume." Thinking of this one, think also of the other, who was crucified with Christ, but did not obtain pardon on that account. It was on Good-Friday, and he hung next to the Heart of Jesus on the Cross, yet he obtained no grace, no mercy. It is true that he did not seek it; but who knows if you will seek it? A sudden death may deprive you of the privilege of seeking it. Confusion and despair may overwhelm you in such a manner that you may not desire to seek it. If you wish to be sure, prepare yourself in time. "Tarry not in the error of the ungodly; give glory before death. Praise perisheth from the dead as nothing (Eccl. xvii.)." Confess before you are in danger of death, or before this danger is imminent. The confession of him who is half-dead, who has almost lost his consciousness, can not be trusted.

Center for Constitutional Rights Condemns U.S. Violence Towards Guantánamo Prisoners on Hunger Strike Organization Representing Guantánamo Detainees Denounces Department of Defense After News Reports Confirm Further Abuse of Human Rights at Guantánamo
On February 23, 2006, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) released the following statement in response to news reports confirming further abuse of prisoners at Guantánamo. CCR leads a team of over 450 pro-bono attorneys representing the detainees, and it won the landmark Supreme Court case establishing their right to challenge their detention in U.S. court (Rasul v. Bush).
"We are alarmed by the Department of Defense's (DOD) reluctant admission that the military used cruel and harsh methods to break the hunger strike protest by prisoners at Guantánamo. The DOD has finally conceded it force-fed prisoners with the aid of restraint chairs and painful nasoenteric feeding tubes. Since the current hunger strike began on August 8, 2005, the DOD has never provided forthright information about its treatment of hunger-striking prisoners. Its recent conduct reveals an utter disregard for the health and humanity of the protesters. The DOD's new admissions reveal that part of its objective in force-feeding was to inflict pain, isolate prisoners and crush their will - not simply to provide food or medical care, as the DOD had previously implied.
Some prisoners no longer on hunger strike are still experiencing substantial medical damage from the treatment. According to medical professionals, prisoners who lost a substantial portion of their body weight may suffer permanent organ or neurological injury. The DOD must provide a comprehensive public report on the medical condition of all the prisoners and what, if anything, the DOD is doing to treat patients suffering from the effects of the abuse and the strike.
We are also calling on the Department of Defense to correct its egregious false statements about the prisoners. Military spokespersons have referred to the Guantánamo hunger-strikers as "terrorists" trained by Al Qaeda, but recent non-partisan analyses of the military's own documents establish that almost none of the prisoners at Guantánamo were Al Qaeda fighters. (Studies were published by the National Law Journal and Seton Hall University Law School). Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and other officials have repeatedly dismissed any accounts of abuse by falsely claiming all the detainees are members of Al Qaeda who have been "trained" to lie, but most have not been trained by Al Qaeda. There is also ample evidence corroborating the prisoner accounts, including military and intelligence documents and reports from NGO's such as the Red Cross. The military's attempts to deceive the public and the courts is beyond irresponsible, it violates due process and fosters confusion in our country's efforts to advance an effective and informed national security policy.
The Bush Administration must stop violating human rights laws and treaties, clinging to falsehoods, hiding its mistreatment of prisoners and trampling due process. The Center for Constitutional Rights is dedicated to advancing and protecting the rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Founded in 1966 by attorneys who represented civil rights movements in the South, CCR is a non-profit legal and educational organization committed to the creative use of law as a positive force for social change. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/130 | {"url": "http://ccrjustice.org/newsroom/press-releases/center-constitutional-rights-condemns-u.s.-violence-towards-guant%C3%A1namo-priso", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "ccrjustice.org", "date_download": "2014-04-16T08:16:20Z", "digest": "sha1:7USNPDU4GE7MHFVMAJNJVNDGGHYXKPM3"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 4826, 4826.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 4826, 5913.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 4826, 14.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 4826, 32.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 4826, 0.93]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 4826, 230.2]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 4826, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 4826, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 4826, 2.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 4826, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 4826, 0.32451093]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 4826, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 4826, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 4826, 0.015992]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 4826, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 4826, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 4826, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 4826, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 4826, 0.00749625]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 4826, 0.0089955]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 4826, 0.02173913]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 4826, 0.02301496]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 4826, 0.21428571]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 4826, 0.13693901]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 4826, 0.52702703]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 4826, 5.40810811]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 4826, 0.00805524]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 4826, 5.42015918]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 4826, 740.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 16, 0.0], [16, 36, 0.0], [36, 69, 0.0], [69, 244, 1.0], [244, 253, 0.0], [253, 658, 0.0], [658, 1141, 1.0], [1141, 1312, 0.0], [1312, 1564, 0.0], [1564, 1947, 1.0], [1947, 2721, 1.0], [2721, 3193, 1.0], [3193, 4269, 1.0], [4269, 4826, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 16, 0.0], [16, 36, 0.0], [36, 69, 0.0], [69, 244, 0.0], [244, 253, 0.0], [253, 658, 0.0], [658, 1141, 0.0], [1141, 1312, 0.0], [1312, 1564, 0.0], [1564, 1947, 0.0], [1947, 2721, 0.0], [2721, 3193, 0.0], [3193, 4269, 0.0], [4269, 4826, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 16, 4.0], [16, 36, 4.0], [36, 69, 6.0], [69, 244, 26.0], [244, 253, 1.0], [253, 658, 62.0], [658, 1141, 75.0], [1141, 1312, 27.0], [1312, 1564, 32.0], [1564, 1947, 59.0], [1947, 2721, 122.0], [2721, 3193, 74.0], [3193, 4269, 164.0], [4269, 4826, 84.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 16, 0.0], [16, 36, 0.0], [36, 69, 0.0], [69, 244, 0.0], [244, 253, 0.0], [253, 658, 0.0275], [658, 1141, 0.00849257], [1141, 1312, 0.03592814], [1312, 1564, 0.0], [1564, 1947, 0.02432432], [1947, 2721, 0.00662252], [2721, 3193, 0.0], [3193, 4269, 0.0], [4269, 4826, 0.00727273]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 16, 0.0], [16, 36, 0.0], [36, 69, 0.0], [69, 244, 0.0], [244, 253, 0.0], [253, 658, 0.0], [658, 1141, 0.0], [1141, 1312, 0.0], [1312, 1564, 0.0], [1564, 1947, 0.0], [1947, 2721, 0.0], [2721, 3193, 0.0], [3193, 4269, 0.0], [4269, 4826, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 16, 0.25], [16, 36, 0.2], [36, 69, 0.12121212], [69, 244, 0.08571429], [244, 253, 0.11111111], [253, 658, 0.10864198], [658, 1141, 0.07246377], [1141, 1312, 0.06432749], [1312, 1564, 0.11111111], [1564, 1947, 0.04699739], [1947, 2721, 0.03100775], [2721, 3193, 0.0190678], [3193, 4269, 0.03159851], [4269, 4826, 0.03411131]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 4826, 0.14837557]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 4826, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 4826, 0.77430248]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 4826, -221.02272153]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 4826, 34.19122134]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 4826, 6.14254713]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 4826, 31.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |

The following document is a list of oral histories related to the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair (Century 21 Exposition) located in Seattle or accessible online. It is the result of a volunteer research project carried out in late 2011 and early 2012, and supervised by MOHAI and Seattle Public Library staff. It is not intended to be a comprehensive catalog but rather to serve as a guide for researchers interested in the fair and how Seattleites remembered it.
The fair meant many things to many people, and this project has sought to represent a broad selection of perspectives. In addition to the major players in the fair’s planning, administration and promotion, the narrators include architects, artists, musicians, restaurant workers, visitors, and local residents who hosted visitors and saw their neighborhoods transformed by the fair.
The 50th anniversary of the fair has prompted many people to share their memories, often in the form of online videos or interviews for film and television programs. At the moment, this list does not contain anything so recent; instead, its purpose is to give researchers a sense of what is already available.
Finally, it is important to note that many of the interviews listed here were conducted by students at the secondary and college levels rather than by trained oral history interviewers.

But not today... and we have President Obama to thank for standing up to them in spite of the political risk.[. . .]The president stood up to Big Oil and listened to Americans saying: "We're done with fossil fuel schemes that destroy our land, poison our water and wreak havoc with our climate so that oil companies can make out like bandits." Now we need to continue to stand with the president and make it clear that tar sands pipelines are not in our national interest.BY FEBRUARY, THE PUNK ASS KID WAS WRITING AT HUFFINGTON POST BEGGING PEOPLE TO GET THE SENATE TO STOP THE DEAL . . . BECAUSE HIS LOVER BOY BARRY O HAD SOLD HIM OUT, HAD HAD HIS WAY WITH HIM, HAD LAID HIM OUT ON THE BED AND THEN FORCED ROBERT "THE PUNK ASS KID" REDFORD TO SLEEP IN THE WET SPOT -- FACE DOWN IN THE WET SPOT.WHAT A PROUD MOMENT FOR REDFORD: HE WHORED AND GOT NOTHING OUT OF IT. SO HE WINDS DOWN HIS LIFE PLAYING IT LIKE WADE LEWIS.FROM THE TCI WIRE: There is a success story in Iraq. You'd think the White House desperate for someone to paint the illegal war as a success would have seized upon it but, even though Jane Arraf reported on it for Al Jazeera last weekend, the White House and other Operation Happy Talkers somehow missed it. This is a transcript to Arraf's video report: Jane Arraf: It's a small step pronouncing a word but for parents and children, it speaks volumes. Without this institute, some of these children wouldn't even be making eye contact. Eleven years ago, there were no schools for autistic children, so one of the parents started her own. Nibras Sadoun was doing field research in special education when she adopted an autistic child rejected by his mother. Nibras Sadoun: There are a lot of obstacles in the country and there were huge needs as well. So we tried to pull together the efforts of the founders, specialists and parents to establish a solid base that can serve this segment of society. Jane Arraf: The Al Rahman Institute, named after her son, has since grown into six centers around the country -- all without Iraqi government funding. The latest just opened in Baghdad. Iraq's education ministry doesn't have any programs for autistic children. It considers them slow learners. Here in the middle of Baghdad, this is a safe place for children, a refuge. But there are only a few dozen children who have been lucky enough to come here and hundreds on the waiting list. Autism is so widely misunderstood here that a lot of children like this spend their entire lives locked up at home. Mariam has been here for a year. She's five-and-a-half but, before she came, she couldn't say "Mama" or ask for water. Her father says her progress is basic. But having somewhere to bring her during the day is a lifesaver. Nizer Mustapha Hussein:She's a very active child and she plays with everything. Thank God, we found this place. Her mother can't cope with her at home because she can't control her. Jane Arraf: The children have varying degrees of autism, a lot have other neurolgical or developmental problems as well. Autistic children have trouble communicating or interacting with others. At school, they teach them basic skills. Their biggest problem is lack of qualified staff. Dealing with autistic children takes training and dedication and the determination to find a place for children who don't easily fit in the world around them. A small number of autistic children and their families can say their lives have improved. Of course, this improvement did not result from any US military project or US State Dept project and didn't result from Prime Minister and All Around Thug Nouri al-Maliki sliding over any dollars from the billions he sits on. As is so often the case with autism around the world, improvements came as a result of families of those effected doing more than their part. The Autism Support Network highlights a report Lara Logan did for CBS News in 2008 on autism in Iraq. In the report, Logan observes, "The problem for autistic children in Iraq is that almost nothing is known about this condition. Incredibly, the only doctor who did treat it, who founded this center in the name of his own autistic son, has fled the country. He left behind these social workers who try their best to help but even they haven't been paid in four months." Click here for the CBS report with text and video. However, do not e-mail me and say, "C.I., you're wrong about the report. It aired on February 11, 2009." I have no idea what the problem with CBS and dates is this week. We noted Nancy Pelosi's "off the table" 2006 interview on 60 Minutes earlier this week and didn't link to 60 Minutes. Why? You click on that 2006 60 Minutes report and you've got a 2009 date. I didn't want the e-mails. That interview was well covered in real time (we linked to the World Can't Wait commentary the day after the interview aired). Autism is not usually well covered. So we're linking to CBS. But it aired in 2008. If you doubt it, click here, it's the video at YouTube, uploaded by CBS News on August 10, 2008. If you need further convincing, drop back to the August 12, 2008 snapshot when we first noted Lara Logan's report. Silence on the improvement for the small number of autistic children able to attend one of the six centers may have also been ignored by the White House due to the fact that the rate of autism in Iraq may be influenced by the various chemicals and weapons and pollutants and toxins the US goverment introduced via many methods of delivery (including burn pits). Last week, Cindy Sheehan wrote about being in Stockholm with the Iraq Solidarity Group to observe the anniversary of the invasion and speaking with an Iraqi doctor who went over a number of stastics: Two million dead during the sanction years; 1.5 milliion dead after 2003; incidences of leukemia in children in Fallujah and Basra skyrocketing by a factor of ten times normal; clean water and electricity are still in short supply; and the US occupiers do not work for the people of Iraq. [. . .] Of course we know that the US used depleted uranium coated weapons in Iraq and the region is now poisoned by the radioactive waste from DU for 4.5 billion years --- that is one of the reasons that incidences of leukemia are on the rise. One woman who does activism to ban all nuclear weapons, including DU, said that now in Iraq, a woman's first question after giving birth is not: "Is it a boy or a girl," but, "Is it normal?" No wonder the White House decided to skip the topic of Iraqi children. For more coverage of the damage to the environment and its effects on the Iraqi people, you can refer to: Nov-04-2011: Birth Defects Reveal Weapons-Grade Enriched Uranium Used in Fallujah, Iraq - Tim King Salem-News.com "Normal" doesn't begin to describe the ongoing political crisis in Iraq or Nouri's attempts to have Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi arrested (he claims al-Hashemi is a terrorist) which are seen as part of the same political crisis and part of Nouri's attempt to lash out at political rivals. (Tareq al-Hashemi is a member of Iraqiya which came in first in the March 2010 elections while Nouri's State of Law came in second.) al-Hashemi was in the KRG when Nouri issued the warrant and he has remained in the semi-autonomous Kurdish region as a guest of Iraqi President Jalal Talabani and KRG President Massoud Barzani. The KRG has not assisted Nouri in his witch hunt and Nouri has responded by ordering the arrests of people working for al-Hashmi. Amer Sarbut Zeidan al-Batawi was one such pe Wednesday, Tareq al-Hashemi charged that his bodyguard had been tortured to death. We covered these issue in yesterday's snapshot. Today Human Rights Watch is calling for an investigation into the death: (Beirut) – Iraqi authorities should order a criminal investigation into allegations that security forces tortured to death a bodyguard of Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi, Human Rights Watch said today.Iraqi authorities released Amir Sarbut Zaidan al-Batawi's body to his family on March 20, 2012, about three months after arresting him for terrorism. His family told Human Rights Watch that his body displayed signs of torture, including in several sensitive areas. Photographs taken by the family and seen by Human Rights Watch show what appear to be a burn mark and wounds on various parts of his body."The statements we heard and photos we saw indicate that Iraqi security officers may have tortured Amir Sarbut Zaidan al-Batawi to death while he was in their custody," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "It's essential for the Iraqi government to investigate his death and report publicly what they find."The family said that al-Batawi's death certificate listed no cause of death. They said that before his arrest, the 33-year-old married father of three was in excellent health."I could barely recognize him," a close relative told Human Rights Watch on March 22. "There were horrible marks and signs of torture all over his body. He had lost about 17 kilos [37.5 pounds] from the day they arrested him."Iraqi authorities have denied the torture allegations. On March 22, Lt. Gen. Hassan al-Baydhani, chief of staff of Baghdad's security command center and a judicial spokesman, said al-Batawi died of kidney failure and other conditions after refusing treatment. When asked by reporters about the photographic evidence that al-Batawi had been tortured, Baydhani replied, "It is easy for Photoshop to show anything," referring to a digital photo-editing software.As the United States was pulling its last remaining troops from Iraq in December 2011, Iraqi authorities issued an arrest warrant for al-Hashemi on charges he was running death squads. Al-Hashemi has taken refuge in Iraqi Kurdistan and refused to return to Baghdad, saying he cannot receive a fair trial. Kurdistan Regional Government authorities have so far declined to hand him over.An unknown number of other members of al- Hashemi's security and office staff have been arrested since late December and are also in custody, including two women. On March 22, al-Hashemi told Human Rights Watch, "I have made repeated requests to the government to find out who else in my staff has been arrested and where they are being held, but they have not responded."Human Rights Watch called on the Iraqi government to release the names of all those detained and the charges against them, and to ensure that they have access to lawyers and medical care. Today Al Mada reports that security sources are stating that young Iraqi women and girls are about to be targeted by the militias in part of the ongoing attacks on Iraqi youths thought to be Emo and/or gay. One source stated that the militias have pulled back and 'softened' their approach recently but only due to the fact that the Arab League Summit is approaching. To avoid embarrassing Nouri, they militia's basically about to take a vacation and plans to return immediately after the summit at which point they will "hunt down girls" and security sources are also stating that some security forces may be assisting the militias in these upcoming actions. If you're new to this topic, Scott Lang's column for the Guardian provides a strong overview of what's taking place: A new killing campaign is convulsing Iraq. The express targets are "emos", short for "emotional": a western-derived identity, teenagers adopting a pose of vulnerability, along with tight clothes and skewed hairdos and body piercing. Starting last year, mosques and the media both began raising the alarm about youthful immorality, calling the emos deviants and devil worshippers. In early February, somebody began killing people. The net was wide, definitions inexact. Men who seemed effeminate, girls with tattoos or peculiar jewellery, boys with long hair, could all be swept up. The killers like to smash their victims' heads with concrete blocks.There is no way to tell how many have died: estimates range from a few dozen to more than 100. Nor is it clear who is responsible. Many of the killings happened in east Baghdad, stronghold of Shia militias such as Moqtada al-Sadr's Mahdi army and Asaib Ahl al-Haq (the League of the Righteous). Neither, though, has claimed responsibility. Iraq's brutal interior ministry issued two statements in February. The first announced official approval to "eliminate" the "satanists". The second, on 29 February, proclaimed a "campaign" to start with a crackdown on stores selling emo fashion. The loaded language suggests, at a minimum, that the ministry incited violence. It's highly possible that some police, in a force riddled with militia members, participated in the murders.It's logical to compare this to the militia campaign against homosexual conduct in 2009, which I documented for Human Rights Watch. Hundreds of men lost their lives then. Gay-identified men have been caught up in these killings as well, and Baghdad's LGBT community is rife with fear. Yet there are differences. The current killings target women as well as men, and children are the preferred victims. It's not quite true to say, as some press reports have suggested, that "emo" is just a synonym for "gay" in Iraq. Rather, immorality, western influence, decadence and blasphemy have come together in a loosely defined, poorly aligned complex of associations: and emo fashion and "sexual perversion" are part of the mix. Turning to 'security' in 'free' Iraq. Thank goodness foreign troops are out is the public pose of Nouri. But it appears that privately he's attempting to get foreign military back into Iraq. The Sun Daily notes, "Defence Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today said Malaysia is prepared to sen[d] a special peacekeeping team on a humanitarian mission to Iraq if the costs of operation were to be sponsored by other countries." The Defense Minister is quoted stating, "There's a request for Malaysia to sen[d] a team to Iraq and one particular country has also agreed to bear the costs of operation, but since the country has yet to keep its promise, we cannot send the team to Iraq." Meanwhile Reuters notes a Kirkuk prison break that has 19 prisoners on the loose.Still on security news, KUNA reports, "All necessary security precautions have been taken in preparation for upcoming Arab summit due to be hosted by Baghdad in the end of this month, the Iraqi Ministry of Interior announced on Friday." The Arab League Summit is set to take place next week in Baghdad. Alsumaria TV notes the announcement as well and -- a press release from the Ministry of Interior -- and that the release claims that terrorists are attempting to create an atmosphere of hysteria. An atmosphere of hysteria? Like Nouri's comments reported by Al Rafidayn that Tuesday's attacks was carried out by terrorist including security officers inside the Iraqi security forces? Citing an unnamed security source, Al Mada reports that Nouri has ordered the closure of at least one bridge and that Baghdad barrier walls are going back up. It's already been reported that Baghdad's about to impose a seven-day 'holiday' and that Bahgdad International Airport will be closed to commercial flights. Salam Faraj and Abdul Jabbar (AFP) observe, "The Iraqi capital's already gnarling traffic has all but ground to a halt, and the government has declared a week of holidays on the days surrounding the March 27-29 summit to encourage people to stay at home." Iraq's a country already plagued with high unemployment and rocketing inflation. Now Faraj and Jabbar report that the prices in Baghdad markets are soaring due to transportation issues as a result of the barriers and checkpoints that have been going up.On the topic of violence, Charles Tripp (Open Democracy) offers:Violence in Iraq has now become a central part of the practice of power, both by the government and by certain non-governmental agencies, some of them bitterly opposed to, but others enmeshed in the webs of government practice. For the government of Iraq under Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, the ever unfinished project of re-establishing the power and thus, he hopes, the authority of the central state has often taken a violent form. This has been clear ever since the campaigns in 2008 that saw a reconstituted, if not always very effective, Iraqi army reconquer a number of Iraq's provinces, with campaigns in the south in Basra, the east of Baghdad, the north in Mosul and the north-east in Diyala. At the time and in the context of the country's emergence from a bloody civil war, these campaigns were strongly supported by the US and others who saw this precisely as a token of the 'resolve' and the 'seriousness' of the fragile Iraqi government. The fact that al-Maliki had attached to his personal command perhaps the most effective and ruthless of the units of the reconstituted Iraqi armed forces, the Baghdad Brigade, was believed to assist the state-creating project. Equally, the close and some might say politically unhealthy interest that al-Maliki took in officers' careers, promotions and transfers within the Iraqi armed forces through his own Office of the Commander in Chief was regarded as merely fitting if he wanted 'to get the job done'. The problem, as many Iraqis began to discover, lay in what else was coming into being as a consequence. In public, the military presence was meant to symbolise al-Maliki's grip on power and his capacity to restore order, as his coalition 'The State of Law' promised. It was highly visible and clearly aimed at demonstrating both that the withdrawal of the US forces in 2010/2011 would not leave Iraq defenceless, and that the government was in full control. The effect, however, in the words of one Iraqi was that 'we live as under an army of occupation'. Given the continuing threat of violence from insurgents of one kind and another, this may have been reassuring for some. However, it also seemed to bring with it the idea that any kind of open or public opposition could and should be met with force. Most notoriously, this was evident in the ferocious response in 2011 to any Iraqis who dared to demonstrate during 2011 in the spirit of the 'Arab Spring'. Thus, whether in Tahrir Square in Baghdad, or in Basra, Mosul or in the Kurdish region in Sulaimaniyya, peaceful protestors were killed, abused and beaten up on the orders of authorities for which violence has become the default response to opposition.

Freeze Frame #155: Sarfarosh Posted by Ramsu under Director, Great scenes, Hindi movies [3] Comments Sarfarosh holds fond memories for me: it was the first film I saw with my wife. We had barely become acquainted and had gone out to watch it with a mutual friend. Not exactly a first date, but hey. But even if you ignore my personal bias , I think there is much to admire.
I was reminded of it last weekend when I was channel surfing and chanced upon a documentary about Alfred Hitchcock’s films. Clips from his films, with a voice-over providing critical analysis, were interspersed with clips of the man himself, talking about his work. Despite his slow, pedantic way of speaking — like lecturers who used to put me to sleep back in college — I was riveted.
My favourite part was when he was explaining the bomb principle. I’d read the two line version earlier in an Ebert review, but this was the first time I actually heard him explain it. It goes something like this:
Imagine two people sitting at a table and talking about, say baseball. Five minutes into the conversation, a bomb that had been placed under the table suddenly goes off. You, the audience, feel surprised and shocked for maybe 30 seconds before the movie has you in the grip of some other emotion. On the other hand, what if you knew right off the bat that there was a bomb under the table and that it was primed to go off in five minutes? Those two guys would be talking about baseball and you would be spending five minutes wondering if they would realize that there’s a bomb under their table and that they need to get away or disarm the bombright away.
Sarfarosh is like a movie-length illustration of this principle, in the guise of a police procedural about uncovering an arms supply chain that leads from a green-themed neighboring nation to a tribal leader with a penchant for mayhem. Not so much a whodunit as a whoalldunit. The film tells you this right at the beginning, so the rest of its running time involves a group of policemen trying to figure out how a tribal leader got his hands on an AK47 rifle and following the clues all the way to the source. Barring a few surprises along the way, you’re mostly just watching them find out what you already know. And yet you find yourself drawn into the process.
Which is why my favourite scene in Sarfarosh is the title song sequence that plays over the opening credits, where they show you the supply chain. There is such admirable economy in the depiction of a streamlined arms smuggling process with several links in the chain. It all seems simple, until you realize how painstaking it is to start with a spent cartridge at a crime scene and work your way backwards.

Gradwolf Says: April 20, 2012 at 10:56 am Well said. From the repeated telecasts on tv, I think it’s not wrong to say that the film has high repeat value. Mostly thanks to the performances. Sad that John Mathew turned out to be a one film wonder.
Reply Gradwolf Says: April 20, 2012 at 10:56 am Ok the repeat sentence sounds wrong but you get what I mean!
Reply Ramsu Says: April 20, 2012 at 1:16 pm Yeah, pity. His second movie was the largely underwhelming Shikhar, and I don’t think he’s done anything after that.

In Case You Missed It:Ex-politician moved to another prisonNas and Q-Tip performStudy: Marriage good for heart health Home » HEALTH » Partial List of Taxes and Fees in Health Overhaul Partial List of Taxes and Fees in Health Overhaul
Starting in 2014, President Barack Obama’s health care law will expand coverage to some 30 million uninsured people. At the same time, insurers will no longer be allowed to turn away those in poor health and virtually every American will be required to have health insurance, through an employer, a government program, or by buying their own.
For the vast majority of people, the health care law won’t mean sending more money to the IRS. But the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans will take the biggest hit, starting next year.
And roughly 20 million people eventually will benefit from tax credits that start in 2014 to help them pay insurance premiums.
A look at some of the major taxes and fees, estimated to total nearly $700 billion over 10 years.
— Upper-income households
Starting Jan. 1, individuals making more than $200,000 per year, and couples making more than $250,000 will face a 0.9 percent Medicare tax increase on wages above those threshold amounts.
They’ll also face an additional 3.8 percent tax on investment income. Together these are the biggest tax increase in the health care law.
— Employer penalties
Starting in 2014, companies with 50 or more employees that do not offer coverage will face penalties if at least one of their employees receives government-subsidized coverage. The penalty is $2,000 per employee, but a company’s first 30 workers don’t count toward the total.
— Health care industries
Insurers, drug companies and medical device manufacturers face new fees and taxes.
Companies that make medical equipment sold chiefly through doctors and hospitals, such as pacemakers, artificial hips and coronary stents, will pay a 2.3 percent excise tax on their sales, expected to total $1.7 billion in its first year, 2013. They’re trying to get it repealed.
The insurance industry faces an annual fee that starts at $8 billion in its first year, 2014.
Pharmaceutical companies that make or import brand-name drugs are already paying fees that totaled $2.5 billion in 2011, their first year.
— People who don’t get health insurance
Nearly 6 million people who don’t get health insurance will face tax penalties starting in 2014. The fines will raise $6.9 billion in 2016. Average penalty in that year: about $1,200.
— Indoor tanning devotees
The 10 percent sales tax on indoor tanning sessions took effect in 2010. It’s expected to raise $1.5 billion over 10 years.
The 28 million people who visit tanning booths and beds each year — most of them women under 30, according to the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology— are already paying.
Tanning salons were singled out because of strong medical evidence that exposure to ultraviolet lights increases the risk of skin cancer. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/145 | {"url":

$2 Billion Here, $2 Billion There...
…pretty soon you’re talking about real money.Ron Brownstein reports on Chevron carping that below-market rates on Chinese loans to CNOOC gives the Chinese a $2.6 billion advantage in its bid for Unocal, more than erasing the difference between Chevron’s $16.5 billion bid and CNOOC’s $18.5 billion bid.I assume the $2.5 billion figure came out of the usual B-school legerdemain: assume a 2% interest rate advantage on $5 billion, choose a cost of capital to discount the cash flows back to a present value of…well, if that doesn’t give us the right number, let’s try 2.5%...Brownstein reports the low-interest loan as fact buttressed by Chevron spin, but then confusingly reports a statement from a CNOOC advisor—who ought to know—that no such loans are involved.I doubt Unocal stockholders will be impressed by the implication that Chevron and CNOOC’s offers are both at the theoretical maximum, even though CNOOC’s higher all-cash offer is contaminated with low interest funny money a.k.a. US greenbacks instead of good old rock solid Chevron stock.For their part, the Chinese might argue that they’re entitled to a little help in their efforts to create a necessary premium in their offer to Unocal stockholders, when Chevron is hitting them with national security reviews, the American flag, and the kitchen sink.However, CNOOC’s strategy is to claim the moral high ground by being “more capitalist than thou”. If they want their deal approved as an expression of the purest free-market, globalized commerce, they’d better publicly kiss off the concessionary financing, whether it exists or not.China has been facing this problem in recent years. The picture of the Chinese government piling up mountains of foreign exchange reserves and at the same time running their economy on below-market loans is ludicrous.They need to wean themselves from the low-interest financing available both from their own and foreign governments and world financial organizations, and fight the tendency to allocate capital based on murky strategic or policy exigencies instead of clear P/L considerations.In other $2 billion news, the CNOOC side leaked its intention to put another $2.5 billion in an escrow account for Unocal shareholders.The money doesn’t have a lot of significance—it’s only payable in the unlikely event that CNOOC wins the bidding war and decides to walk away from the deal anyway.On the other hand, if the U.S. government nixes the deal, CNOOC gets to collect its money from the account and go home.The escrow idea seems to be little more than public relations push-back.That is to say, even though the Unocal deal looks like it’s going to turn into a protracted, expensive political nightmare that may very well make a purchase by CNOOC impossible, CNOOC is determined to stick it out and vindicate the support of those people who stand in their corner.Which is to say in less kindly terms, the chances of CNOOC getting caught up in a stupid bidding war that does nothing more than exhaust the interest and patience of the world financial markets while enriching a phalanx of greedy lawyers, accountants, and media consultants immeasurably has increased significantly.

Don’t overlook these important estate planning concerns in divorce
September 13, 2013 — christinamcpherson When you get a divorce in California (and everywhere else!), there are important estate planning considerations to take into account. In fact, these are so critical that you could end up leaving your estate to your ex spouse (ouch!), having your ex make important medical decisions for you, or – if you act hastily and without the proper information – you could get into trouble with the court system.
During Divorce: First, when you file for divorce in California, regardless of whether it’s Alameda County, Contra Costa County, or any other county, once the other party is served, both of you become restrained from doing certain things. One of these restraining order involves your will or trust, and prohibits you from making any changes to your will or trust once you’ve filed for divorce and served the other party. One of the others prohibits either of you from changing or cancelling any insurance, such as life, health, auto/property, etc., or changing the beneficiaries on any insurance or other account where a beneficiary is named. Do not make the mistake of cancelling your ex’s health insurance or changing your will after you have filed for divorce!
You may make these changes with permission from the other party or with a court order, and you may want to seek this. Particularly if you have separate property, the last thing you want is for your ex to get it all if something happens to you. You may also want to get permission to change the beneficiary of your life insurance into a trust for your children, but you need permission for both of these actions.
One of the changes that you should make as soon as you can, and there is no court prohibition on this, is your powers of attorney. For both health and finances, you want to make sure you designate someone other than your ex who will make decisions for you and manage your affairs should you become incapacitated. If you’re lying in a hospital bed unconscious, do you really want your ex deciding whether to get surgery or wait to see if the medication improves your condition?
After Divorce: Once your divorce is final, you want to make sure you change your will or trust, your powers of attorney (if you’ve not done so already), the beneficiaries on your life insurance, retirement and other accounts, and make sure you have enough life insurance for your children and long-term care insurance to care for yourself as you get older.

Secrets of child and spousal support (alimony) in California divorce
September 12, 2013 — christinamcpherson One of the hot button issues in divorce is child and spousal support. It’s a hot button because it involves money, and money is a leading cause of divorce. Many couples are already tense about money, and when you add in the support issue, things can blow up. The problem is one of simple math:
With a married couple, you generally have one household surviving on the income of two parties. You take that household and divide it in two when the couple separates, and you have the same amount of money (not enough) now supporting two households instead of one. Ouch.
Regardless of who moves out and who is the spouse paying for child and/or spousal support, it hurts both parties. The one paying can see in his or her paycheck that the amount being brought home is, in some cases, actually smaller than the amount being paid for support. The one being paid just looks at the money coming in and the bills to be paid, and can’t quite see how to resolve the disparity.
Arguments, often heated ones, ensue. The key is to recognize that not only is this going to happen, but to catch it early and address it. It isn’t going to be easy for either of the spouses, and they had better be prepared. Both spouses, in most cases, are working hard to maintain their lives while they go through the difficult time, and a small amount of understanding goes a long way.

Legal Separation versus Divorce: pros and cons of each
September 9, 2013 — christinamcpherson The term “legal separation” or “separation” mean two things in family/divorce law, and they can be confusing.
First, your “date of separation” applies to everyone getting divorced. After your date of separation, which is the date you made the decision to separate and live forever apart, AND you physically separated, you are ‘separated’ from your spouse, and – here’s the important part – everything you acquire, including earnings, property and debt, is your separate property and not subject to equal division with your spouse. Don’t overthink this date. Generally it’s the day you made the final decision to divorce.
Second, there is a box on the Petition for you to mark “Legal Separation” or “Dissolution” (divorce). Almost everyone marks Dissolution” here because they want a divorce. A Legal Separation is the same as a divorce in that you will still determine child custody, visitation and support, property division, and spousal support, but at the end of the process, you and your spouse will be legally married. This means that you may not marry someone else. When you get a dissolution, you are not married at the end of the process.
Legal Separations are rare, but they happen. There are a couple reasons why someone may check the “Legal Separation” box on the Petition.
The first is due to residency. To file for divorce in California, you have to be a resident of California for the six months immediately prior to the filing, as well as a resident of the county you are filing in for the three months immediately prior to the filing. There are no such requirements for a Legal Separation, so some will file that way to get the process started, then amend the Petition for divorce once the residency requirements have been met.
The second is for religious reasons, when spouses do not wish to ‘divorce.’ It must be noted, however, that one spouse cannot force the other to remain married. This is not permitted under California law. If one spouse, therefore, files for Legal Separation, and the other responds by filing for dissolution of marriage, then the court will amend the Petition to dissolution. A Legal Separation is only available if both parties agree to it.
The final most common reason for filing for Legal Separation is for health care reasons, most frequently by older couples. I had a case where the parties had been married for more than 40 years, and the wife was covered under the husband’s health insurance. She would not be able to obtain health insurance on her own except at exorbitant cost. Because both parties were elderly, they determined that they would not wish to marry again, and decided to go with the Legal Separation to protect the wife’s health insurance.

Divorce hearing coming up? Tips to make it more successful and less nerve-wracking
September 6, 2013 — christinamcpherson A divorce hearing, especially your first one, can be cause for panic and extreme nerves. After being a part of hundreds of them, I’ve learned a few tricks to help you get through it more smoothly:
1. Get there early to allow yourself to get lost (and find it), park, get the layout of the place, and to have time to get settled and take a deep breath.
2. Read the signs posted in and around the courtroom, as these will give you a lot of information about what is going to happen and the specific court’s procedures. Determine which notes apply to you and act accordingly.
3. Take a deep breath and try to relax. You may be waiting a long time.
4. You will probably have the check in and let the court know you are present. Often you check in and give your name (and sometimes case number) to the bailiff or the courtroom clerk. Signs should make this clear.
5. Most counties have a rule regarding a “meet and confer” prior to being heard by the judge. This is a requirement that you at least try to talk to your opponent to work out your differences before the judge will hear your dispute. DO NOT avoid this if it is a county rule in your county, as it will anger the judge that you ignored the rule – and do it even if there is no rule. Making the judge mad is a big no-no in my book.
6. When your case is called, announce your name and approach the tables in front of the judge. You’ll get an opportunity to present your side of the argument, and it’s helpful if you have notes responding to what your opponent is going to say. You know what your opponent is going to say because you read his or her paperwork and also talked to him or her immediately prior to the hearing.
7. Don’t make the judge mad. If he or she cautions you because you have done or said something inappropriate, be sure NOT to repeat your error. One thing that makes most judges mad: interrupting. If you have something to say, find the right time to say it rather than interrupting your opponent or the judge.
8. Once the judge has heard enough, she or he will say so and announce the order. THIS IS WHAT YOU CAME FOR! Take detailed notes because you will need to create a written order from the judge’s words.
9. Before you leave, ask the court for the “Minute Order,” which is the court’s informal notes of the results of the hearing. You can use this to prepare the order. Also, find out which party is preparing the order. Whoever brought the motion generally does this.
10. Thank the judge as you leave, whether you won or lost. Judges work hard and deserve your thanks for taking their time to help you. You may not like their decision, but thank them anyway.

Divorced with kids headed back to school? Tips to avoid craziness with your ex
September 5, 2013 — christinamcpherson The most important tip to highlight is a critical concept for ALL divorced and divorcing parents: Do not use your child as a messenger. In general, involving your child in your divorce or in your relationship with your ex in any way is severely damaging to the child. Many courts even say that giving your child a note to give to your ex is a no no. I mean, really, in today’s world, just send an email! In addition, email provides you with a record so the other parent can’t say, “I never got it.”
Another issue that comes up is the activities, homework, excursions, practices, and myriad of other things that parents want and need to know about a child’s school. Whn you have one parent who is “primary,” sometimes that can mean that the other parent gets left out of the loop. I mean, if you only see your child every other weekend, then it can be tough to keep up on homework and teachers. Especially since you may be focused on maximizing the time and not focusing on things like homework.
So we try to put in place provisions to ensure that both parents are actively involved with the child’s school. This can place a burden on the ‘primary’ parent, but it’s a burden that’s in the best interests of the child and well worth the effort.
We used to suggest creating a notebook – just a spiral bound notebook that passed back and forth between the houses – that kept track of homework, permission slips, activities, etc. I still think it’s a good idea, but perhaps a quick email is better – that way we avoid the child as a messenger. One way to systemize this is to send a weekly email – it doesn’t have to be long or overly wordy – but it should include any and all information the parent writing it would want to know about the child’s school (homework, notices, upcoming events, school pictures, field trips, expenses) if the shoe were on the other foot. It can be a simple list.
To avoid drama and arguments, you can exchange your child at school. First, exchanging at school (after school, for example) instead of at the other parent’s house, can be a great way to avoid conflict between the parents. This takes away all interaction at the exchange, so there’s no chance for fighting. Second, there is no inconvenience to one party if someone is late or the schedule changes, since only one parent is involved and the focus is on retrieving the child. Third, if you have trouble with fights at school activities, then there is a solution: If you have a child with activities, and you and your ex can’t be in the same football-field-sized area together without causing a scene, here are some suggestions:
If the practice or game is during your custodial time, you can attend. If not, you need to avoid it. This is not always possible, so…
Generally activities have practices and games/events. Either pick days (Mom can attend events – whatever they are – on Wednesdays, and Father on Tuesdays) or you can alternate events (Mom can go to the game on 9/10, but Dad can go on 9/17). Obviously, this takes some planning, but isn’t it worth it if it (a) keeps your child out of your arguments, and (b) keeps both parents involved in your child’s activities?
Alternate activities. Many children are involved in a number of activities, and sometimes one parent gravitates toward one, while another parent gravitates toward another. Mom may be an assistant soccer coach, so she get to attend all those functions, while Dad is keen on photography, so he spends time working on that and attending those shows and events.
The important thing to remember is to keep your child away from the conflict and to be present at their activities. Sometimes it’s just the way it is, when parents can’t get along, but the parents have to acknowledge this and work to find a way around it that doesn’t hurt their children. If you keep your eye on what’s important – the health and well-being of your child, then you’ll be able to find a solution to any problem.
What has been your biggest concern about your kids going back to school this year?

What happens with your child when your unmarried relationship ends? The California paternity case
April 16, 2013 — christinamcpherson A court case for a couple who is not married but has children is called a paternity, or UPA case. UPA stands for the Uniform Parentage Act, which is the law that governs these kinds of cases. Paternity cases are generally the way you formally and legally establish the parents of a child. Generally the father is the one thought of in these cases, but in a UPA case, both mother and father are determined. Either parent may bring a paternity case, and upon the establishment of parentage, both rights and responsibilities attach.
In a paternity case, both responsibilities and privileges of parenting are granted/ordered. Once it is determined that you are a parent of a child, you are required to support that child financially by working. You are also entitled to parenting time (visitation) with the child, subject to the best interests of that child (for example, you are entitled to parenting time unless the time would endanger the child’s welfare, such as if you are ingesting illegal substances at the time). This responsibility lasts, legally in California, until that child is 18 and graduated from high school, to a maximum age of 19.
The court’s jurisdiction over a child lasts until age 18 for custody and visitation purposes. At age 18, the court can no longer order a child to visit with either parent because that child is now an adult and not subject to the jurisdiction of the court. For purposes of child support, however, the obligation lasts until your child graduates from high school, up to the age of 19. So if your child turns 18 in January, then graduates in June of the same year, then you pay support until June. If your child graduates in June and turns 18 in October a couple months later, then the support can last into college. If you have a child who turns 19 in April before graduating in June, then support will last until your child’s birthday in April. Perhaps that was a longer explanation than necessary, but at least now you get it (hopefully!).
A UPA case cannot handle, however, issues around your relationship that do not have to do with the child. For example, a UPA case can resolve issues surrounding pregnancy and birth expenses, but cannot resolve issues, for example, around the return of property or disposing of joint assets (such as a car or house). The court will only get into that with married couples. If you have to go to court on issues of property division with someone to whom you are not married, then you have to go to small claims court. Obviously, too, there is no spousal support in a UPA case.

How to file for California divorce
April 15, 2013 — christinamcpherson Filing for divorce in California is pretty simple – you just file a form with the clerk. Nolo Press has a great book about how to file your California divorce that goes over the process. After making the difficult and emotional decision (usually it’s emotional and difficult; there are exceptions), the actual filing can be a bit anticlimactic, if pricey. All you need to do is fill out the Family Law Summons, Petition, and the Declaration Under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), which is a form you need only if you have children of the marriage. All three forms are pretty straightforward, but they do need to be completed properly to ensure your rights are protected.
For example, the Family Law Petition outlines the basic issues in the case. It isn’t a formal request for anything, but rather is a form that defines the universe of the issues in your case. It is the Family Law RFO (Request for Order) or motion that gets you before the judge asking for the judge to make orders, not the Petition. So if you mark on your Petition that you want your ex to pay your attorney fees, you won’t get those unless and until you also file a court motion, which is separate from the Petition. Many of my clients come in to my office, upset that their ex has marked something on the Petition, when there’s nothing to get upset about.
Of course, once you have filed the documents, you need to serve them on your ex, which can be easy or difficult, depending on your situation. Of course, you cannot serve the documents – they must be served by someone who is not you but is over 18 years of age.

Jean Hibben
Riverside County, California, United States
I am a native of Illinois and grew up in Wilmette, a northern suburb of Chicago. I have one sibling, an older brother.
After dropping out of college, I moved to California in 1973 with my first husband. I married my present husband, Butch, in 1977 and got 4 children in the deal. They have gone on to make me a grandmother 24 times over and a great-grandmother of 13.
Three years after I married Butch I returned to school. I got my bachelors and masters degrees in speech communication and was a professor in that field for 13 years. I retired in 2001 to return to school and get my doctorate in folklore. Now I meld my two interests - folklore and genealogy - and add my teaching background, resulting in my current profession: speaker/entertainer of genealogically-related topics. I play a number of folk instruments, but my preference is guitar, which I have been playing since 1963. I am a Board Certified genealogist and more information on all this, as well as direct contact info, is on my Circlemending website.
Tombstone Tuesday - 17 August 2010 - Remembering a forgotten grave, Nathan W. Wilcox
A slightly different "Tombstone Tuesday" - about a tombstone that has been a long time in being placed and properly adorned.Once upon a time, a Yankee, born in Oswego, New York and relocated to Jefferson County, New York, married the girl next door. That Yankee, Nathan W. Wilcox, son of Peter C. Wilcox and Mary Youker, moved with his bride, and later joined by the rest of his family, to Van Buren County, Michigan, where he commenced to work at his trade, the same one his father taught him many years before: carpenter, joiner, and architect. Michigan provided a wonderful frontier for his efforts, but this Yankee soon wanted a wider territory, where there was a great need for people with his skills. He moved his little family (wife and 2 children) to New London, Henry County, Iowa. There 2 more children were born, though one was buried almost as soon as she came into the world. And, within a couple of years, another child was on the way. Also on the way: the splitting of a nation! So Nathan W. Wilcox went to see the recruiting officer who came to New London and signed up, at the ripe old age of 33, to be an engineer in Lincoln's army. He also recruited about 20 additional men, though probably not all experienced builders. He sent the recruits on ahead while he awaited the birth of his latest daughter, bade goodbye to his young family, and joined the troops in St. Louis, MO - Nathan W. Wilcox became 2nd Lt. Wilcox of Col. Bissell's Engineering Regiment of the West out of Missouri.In the regiment, Nathan distinguished himself as being one of the few who really knew his trade. He often was sent to other companies to teach and help the men in their efforts to build bridges, railroads, and roads; and then, when the battle was over, destroy those same transportation options to thwart the enemy's advances. (Meanwhile, back home in Iowa, another of Nathan's children died - only three remained of his five babies.) Nathan was advanced to 1st Lt. after the successful building of the canal to advance Union troops around New Madrid, Missouri and Island #10.Nathan continued to be effective in his duties as an engineer and soon was promoted to Captain. But the war was nearing a crucial point and the Engineering Regiment was joining up with an Infantry regiment, meaning that the engineers would see more battle action and there would soon be a surplus of higher officers. Nathan requested discharge and it was granted, largely due to his poor health from the canal building (causing the men to stand in waist high swamp water at all hours of the day and night).Nathan was in Nashville, Tennessee when he was discharged and he promptly went to work under contract to the government, doing surveying work. He drew battle lines for the upcoming Battle of Nashville and, later, he relocated to Knoxville where he helped to rebuild the university campus, virtually destroyed during the war (his brother came down from Michigan to help, too).This is how a New York Yankee became a Tennessee resident. He sent for his family. Lost another child (to cholera symptoms) and fathered another. He designed homes. He helped rebuild the south, but not as a carpetbagger; as a member of the community. He lived in Nashville, Clarksville, Knoxville, and all over Franklin County. His youngest son followed in his father's footsteps, being involved in various aspects of building, and took him in during the Captain's old age. Nathan W. Wilcox died in Nashville in September 1891; he was buried in the "single graves" area of Mt. Olivet Cemetery where whatever grave marker he received disappeared a long time ago.Enter me, ready to give this man, my g-g-grandfather, the recognition he deserves. On Aug. 14, 2010, with a small group of dedicated folks (it was about 105 degrees that day), we celebrated the life of Nathan W. Wilcox. His tombstone was provided by the Veterans' Administration and the good people at the cemetery placed the stone earlier in the summer so that we could gather around it and dedicate the grave.In attendance: Capt. Wilcox's g-g-g-granddaughter, Sandra Dodge; his g-g-g-g-grandsons, Tyler Dodge and Brad and Drew Schmidt; his g-g-grandson-in-law, Lynn Hibben; me (his g-g-granddaughter); Abraham Lincoln (portrayed by Dennis Boggs); Kraig McNutt, a local historian who blogged about the event; historian Jim Swan; and, from Ft. Donelson Camp #62, Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, bugler Chad Gray and Cpl. Nelson Hughes .We began with the presentation of colors and flag salute by boy scout Tyler Dodge and, after an opening prayer, learned about the man we honored, sang "Tenting on the Old Campground,"placed the GAR marker and flag by the stone (thanks to the Ft. Donelson Camp #62 SUVCW and Cpl. Hughes, above with me),heard some moving remarks by Pres. Lincoln, and witnessed the grave dedication by Lynn Hibben, followed by the playing of taps, courtesy of Chad Gray. It was a moving experience and I am grateful to all those who came to honor my great-great-grandfather.Sam Gant, of the Ft. Donelson Camp #62, SUVCW, sent me this email:"Dr. Hibben planned and presented an excellent program for her ancestor, and, in doing so, remembered and honored a soldier of the Grand Army of the Republic whom we of the Fort Donelson Camp # 62 have pledged to perpetuate his memory. Capt. Nathan's basic military information and burial location shall be entered in the SUVCW Graves Registry."All I can add is "Wow"!(photos courtesy of Jim Swan & Kraig McNutt)

Thank you for sharing this special ceremony with us via FB and your blog.ReplyDeleteBill WestApril 14, 2011 at 9:11 PMA great story, Jean. I see so many gravestones now in poor condition, in some cases all that's left is the base of the original stone.I'm glad Nathan and the rest of your family to see that his resting place is properly marked. Thanks for sending this to the Challenge.ReplyDeleteAdd commentLoad more...

The construction of disjoint paths in a network is a basic issue in combinatorial optimization: given a network, and specified pairs of nodes in it, we are interested in finding disjoint paths between as many of these pairs as possible. This leads to a variety of classical NP-complete problems for which very little is known from the point of view of approximation algorithms. It has recently been brought into focus in work on problems such as VLSI layout and routing in high-speed networks; in these settings, the current lack of understanding of the disjoint paths problem is often an obstacle to the design of practical heuristics.

How many guards are necessary, and how many are sufficient to patrol the paintings and works of art in an art gallery with n walls? This wonderfully naïve question of combinatorial geometry has, since its formulation, stimulated an increasing number of of papers and surveys. In 1987, J. O’Rourke published his book Art Gallery Theorems and Algorithms which has further fueled this area of research. The present book is being written almost 10 years since the publication of O’Rourke’s book, and the need for an up-to-date manuscript on Art Gallery or Illumination Problems is evident. Some important open problems stated in O’Rourke’s book, such as... have been solved. New directions of research have since been investigated, including: watchman routes, floodlight illumination problems, guards with limited visibility or mobility, illumination of families of convex sets on the plane, guarding of rectilinear polygons, and others. In this book, we study these results and try to give a complete

Range searching is one of the central problems in computational geometry, because it arises in many applications and a wide variety of geometric problems can be formulated as a range-searching problem. A typical range-searching problem has the following form. Let S be a set of n points in R d , and let R be a family of subsets; elements of R are called ranges . We wish to preprocess S into a data structure so that for a query range R, the points in S " R can be reported or counted efficiently. Typical examples of ranges include rectangles, halfspaces, simplices, and balls. If we are only interested in answering a single query, it can be done in linear time, using linear space, by simply checking for each point p 2 S whether p lies in the query range.

Weintroduce a new method for finding several types of optimal k-point sets, minimizing perimeter, diameter, circumradius, and related measures, by testing sets of the O(k) nearest neighbors to each point. We argue that this is better in a number of ways than previous algorithms, whichwere based on high order Voronoi diagrams. Our technique allows us for the first time to efficiently maintain minimal sets as new points are inserted, to generalize our algorithms to higher dimensions, to find minimal convex k-vertex polygons and polytopes, and to improvemany previous results. Weachievemany of our results via a new algorithm for finding rectilinear nearest neighbors in the plane in time O(n log n+kn). We also demonstrate a related technique for finding minimum area k-point sets in the plane, based on testing sets of nearest vertical neighbors to each line segment determined by a pair of points. A generalization of this technique also allows us to find minimum volume and boundary measure sets in arbitrary dimensions.

The focus of this study is to clarify the approximability of weighted versions of the maximum independent set problem. In particular, we report improved performance ratios in bounded-degree graphs, inductive graphs, and general graphs, as well as for the unweighted problem in sparse graphs. Where possible, the techniques are applied to related hereditary subgraph and subset problem, obtaining ratios better than previously reported for e.g. Weighted Set Packing, Longest Common Subsequence, and Independent Set in hypergraphs.

We study the relationship between the independence number of a graph and its semi-definite relaxation, the Lov'asz `-function. We deduce an improved approximation algorithm for the independence number. If a graph on n vertices has an independence number n=k + m, for some fixed integer k 3 and some m ? 0, the algorithm finds, in random polynomial time, an independent set of size ~ \Omega\Gamma m 3=(k+1) ). This is the first improvement upon the Ramsey Theory based algorithm of Boppana and Halldorsson that finds an independent set of size\Omega\Gamma m 1=(k\Gamma1) ) in such a graph. The algorithm is based on semi-definite programming, some properties of the `-function, and the recent algorithm of Karger, Motwani and Sudan for approximating the chromatic number of a graph. If the `-function of an n vertex graph is at least Mn 1\Gamma2=h , for some absolute constant M , we describe another, related algorithm that finds an independent set of size h. Finally, while it is e...

It is shown, that for each constant k _ 1, the following problems can be solved in O(n) time: given a graph G, determine whether G has k vertex disjoint cycles, determine whether G has k edge disjoint cycles, determine whether G has a feedback vertex set of size _ k. Also, every class G, that is closed under minor taking, or that is closed under immersion taking, and that does not contain the graph formed by taking the disjoint union of k copies of Ks, has an O(n) membership test algorithm. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/152 | {"url": "http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/showciting?cid=28731", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain":

The Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) is unique in two ways.
In most OOP languages, methods belong to classes and are invoked by sending messages. In CLOS, methods belong to generic functions instead of classes, and those generic functions select and execute the correct method according to the types of the arguments they receive.
The CLOS Metaobject Protocol (MOP) specifies how its essential building blocks are to be implemented in CLOS itself. This allows extending its object model with metaclasses that change important aspects of CLOS for a well-defined scope.
This presentation introduces these two notions. The code for an interpreter for generic functions that performs selection and execution of methods will be developed live during the presentation. This will be followed by a discussion how that code can be extended to introduce, for example, multimethods and AOP-style advices, and a sketch how generic functions are implemented efficiently in the "real" world. In the second part, the extensibility of the CLOS MOP will be illustrated by implementing - live - the (hashtable-based) Python object model as a metaclass. Other practical extensions based on the CLOS MOP are also sketched, like object-relational mappings, interfaces to foreign-language objects, and domain-specific annotations in classes.
Biography: Pascal Costanza has a Ph.D. degree from the University of Bonn, Germany. His past involvements include specification and implementation of the languages Gilgul and Lava, and the design and application of the JMangler framework for load-time transformation of Java class files. He has also implemented ContextL, the first programming language extension for Context-oriented Programming based on CLOS, and aspect-oriented extensions for CLOS, which all heavily rely on the CLOS MOP. He is furthermore the initiator and lead of Closer, an open source project that provides a compatibility layer for the CLOS MOP across multiple Common Lisp implementations.

Northern Fights: 'Real Housewives of Vancouver' in the Works

The over-the-top squabbles and intense drama of the 'Real Housewives' franchise are coming to Canada -- more specifically, to the west coast city of Vancouver.
While there was initially some speculation that the franchise would be based out of Canada's biggest metropolis, Toronto, the series will launch in British Columbia. According to Shaw Media, the show is set to air on Canada's female-geared reality channel, Slice, and while Canadians are known for their niceties and politeness, we have a feeling this will showcase their darker side (yes, it can happen!).
The franchise will be the first to be filmed north of the US border. In early April, 'Real Housewives of D.C.' was canceled, and many speculate that its more popular sister show, 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,' sealed its fate. 'RHDC' was the first iteration of the series not to make it to two seasons on Bravo.
Shaw Media also announced plans to launch 'Intervention Canada,' which will focus on Canadians suffering from addiction and substance abuse. This show is also scheduled to air on Slice.

Clermont County Sheriff’s Deputies purchase $47,000 worth of drugs
December 14th, 2006 Author: Rodney Beckwith Filed Under: News
According to the Clermont County Sheriff’s Department, seven drug traffickers were indicted last week for their role in distributing drugs in the New Richmond area.
According to Chief Deputy Rick Combs, undercover agents from the sheriff’s department were able to purchase 32 pounds of marijuana from the drug traffickers, as well as 15 grams of crack cocaine. In all, the total value of the drugs purchased was $47,000.
Information from village residents and leaders led to the operation, after some suspicious activity was reported.
In all, the investigation has consumed several months of effort on the part of the drug unit at the sheriff’s department, and more information is being gathered. Anyone with information about possible drug activity is encouraged to call and report it at (513) 625-2806.
Indicted were William Stamm, Teresa Stamm, Miguel Rivera, Shannon Rivera, Nelly Babcock, Jarmaine Hersey and Lynn Dailey. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/156 | {"url": "http://clermontsun.com/2006/12/14/clermont-county-sheriffs-deputies-purchase-47000-worth-of-drugs/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "clermontsun.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:16:45Z", "digest": "sha1:TU6YIX7WTUMHPSNJIJ6UX3NCTL4F5IAH"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1055, 1055.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1055, 5717.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1055, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1055, 127.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1055, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1055, 263.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1055, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1055, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1055, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1055, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1055, 0.32512315]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1055, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1055, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1055, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1055, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1055, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1055, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1055, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1055, 0.06597222]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1055, 0.05324074]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1055, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1055, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1055, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1055, 0.21182266]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1055, 0.65644172]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1055, 5.3006135]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1055, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1055, 4.45185508]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1055, 163.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 67, 0.0], [67, 129, 0.0], [129, 294, 1.0], [294, 550, 1.0], [550, 664, 1.0], [664, 934, 1.0], [934, 1055, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 67, 0.0], [67, 129, 0.0], [129, 294, 0.0], [294, 550, 0.0], [550, 664, 0.0], [664, 934, 0.0], [934, 1055, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 67, 9.0], [67, 129, 9.0], [129, 294, 25.0], [294, 550, 43.0], [550, 664, 16.0], [664, 934, 44.0], [934, 1055, 17.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 67, 0.078125], [67, 129, 0.10344828], [129, 294, 0.0], [294, 550, 0.03629032], [550, 664, 0.0], [664, 934, 0.03816794], [934, 1055, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 67, 0.0], [67, 129, 0.0], [129, 294, 0.0], [294, 550, 0.0], [550, 664, 0.0], [664, 934, 0.0], [934, 1055, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 67, 0.05970149], [67, 129, 0.11290323], [129, 294, 0.04242424], [294, 550, 0.0234375], [550, 664, 0.00877193], [664, 934, 0.00740741], [934, 1055, 0.12396694]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1055, 0.24972034]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1055, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1055, 0.00325751]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1055, -66.43925425]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1055, 20.18154282]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1055, 2.05869908]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1055, 7.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |
A Conversation with Steve Grossman � December 27, 2001
Part 1: Tucson Climbing History
Steve: As far as my background is concerned, my parents moved here from Michigan. My father Maurice is a retired art professor at the University of Arizona. My mother was a teacher and a homemaker. They came to Tucson in the early �50s and were instrumental in establishing the U of A art department particularly, the crafts section. I was born here April 1, 1958, second child in my family. My sister Barbara, older by two years and my sister Lauren, two years younger than I. We were a family of five. I went to High School at Tucson High School and graduated from the U of A with a BS in Biochemistry. I am currently single and don�t have any kids. I am a general contractor living up in Seattle at this point in time. Beyond that, significant life events were health related. My mother suffered a series of strokes in the early �70s that left her comatose and in a nursing home. My older sister developed a cancerous melanoma and died very quickly. Curiously, they both passed away in 1978. That is terrible.
Steve: Yes. That was definitely a tragedy. Fortunately, I got into climbing in 1970, before all that happened. The community of climbers here, which I will talk more about later, became in many ways my extended family. My other sister and my father were both spending a lot of time just dealing with their lives. Socially, the climbing community filled in some blanks. My father has always been a very supportive individual. He pushed me to be what I wanted to be without judging my intentions. He always supported me in terms of buying me necessary gear, giving me time to be able to climb, and travel to places like Yosemite in the summer. He provided support, without which I would not be the accomplished climber that I am now. My sister is living in Seattle with me. She is an artist, a very accomplished one. She is the reason why I moved to the northwest in 1987 after living in Tucson for 30 years. I began climbing in 1970 as a 7th grader. I have a lot of typical harrowing stories of getting into climbing that a lot of people have. I bought a copy of "Bergsteigen" at the Summit Hut and I read about climbing and climbing techniques. Then I proceeded to go rummaging in my father�s closet for an old �" sisal rope and some moving straps, and I tried to imitate essentially what I was seeing in "Bergsteigen". A turning point, as far as acquiring proper climbing equipment, came when I was rappelling down a rock up in the Summerhaven area. I decided to try out a Prusik knot for an arrest. I was rappelling down and I was about 15� off the ground using a figure of eight sit harness that I made out of a packing strap. I was running the rope through the packing strap using no carabiners or any kind of climbing gear at all. I got down to the point where I thought, "O.K. I will test this system" and I let go of the rappel rope entirely. The Prusik knot, even though it was the same diameter as the rope I was rappelling on, jammed and then snapped and I went 15� feet to the ground. I ended up hitting my chin and getting hurt. I wandered back over to the cabin where everybody else was hanging out and I had very little trouble after that convincing my father to get me some proper rock climbing gear - even though he probably thought that he was making a mistake. I remember going into the Summit Hut and buying a pair of blue Galibier Royal Robbins, a blue Mammut 11 mil rope, and an odd assortment of gear. A couple of people took me out climbing early on. The husband of one of my father�s art students, took me out the first time and I got into it right away. The second time I went out climbing, I ended up leading the regular route on Hitchcock Pinnacle. There were several guys who had taken long falls off the top of the route. They already had a rope clipped in. So I thought "Well, maybe I could give this a try. These guys haven�t gotten hurt. I�ll give it a go". So I managed to get up and out, off the only bolt (the one bolt that was the only protection on the route at the time) and finished the route. I thought "Wow, this is really it!" I was totally adrenalized and I love this activity � I got to do it. So I proceeded to spend a lot of time hanging out at the Summit Hut. I�d come home from school, I�d get on my bike, I�d go over to the Summit Hut and I�d hang out with the people working there and just essentially ask them about climbing. So the Summit Hut was already in existence in 1970?
Steve: Yes. The Summit Hut actually got its start with Dave Baker and the whole Catalina High School group, who were about six years or so older than I was. He started looking into trying to find climbing equipment because they got interested in climbing as a group. Dave looked into it. The first Summit Hut was actually this little teeny hole in the wall, retail space. As I recall, it was over by Catalina High School. Dave would remember better. That was kind of his humble beginning as a retailer. He has since, of course, become one of the most respected people in the outdoor industry nationally. So that�s kind of how he got going. When I started climbing, the Summit Hut that was located close to Speedway and Country Club. That was the place to go. Scott Williams, Marty Woerner, Dave, and the other people that worked in the Summit Hut, tolerated me, gave me some pointers, told me about equipment, and how to use it. Things like that. I gradually got folks to climb with, over time. When I went out climbing with people, they could see that I had some ability and that I was worth helping along. At the same time, I also found out about Campbell Cliffs. Which at the time was really the social hub, outside of the Summit Hut, in Tucson. It was discovered when Search and Rescue got called out to find a guy who was out wandering around this desert road for some reason reading a book. He didn�t pay any attention and walked right off the cliff. Search and Rescue people went out there to get him, to recover his body, and do an evacuation because the fellow was killed. They discovered a perfect training area. A couple of bolts were put in for top rope anchors and immediately this area became the place that people congregated. People gathered to find partners and work on skills, essentially the equivalent of a climbing gym atmosphere. Where is it located?
Steve: You go all the way to the North end of Campbell Avenue. Right now, because of development, it is on private land and access is diminished. It was a huge loss at the time. The quality of the climbing and boulder problems was really quite good. The perfect place to learn how to climb, to stay in shape and to work out. Certainly, it has some of the best bouldering in this area. Bob Murray, when he was here, as a boulderer, developed some other crags, but really, I don�t think that anyone�s found a spot that had that kind of concentration of good boulder problems. Most folks went once or twice a week. Anywhere from beginners to very experienced climbers worked on their calluoses. It used to be a big thing - it really isn�t anymore. You really had to have a good callus base built up on your fingers if you were going to spend a lot of time hanging out on first ascents; on sharp holds, putting in gear, and working things out. This was part of the ritual back in the old days to do that. Early on, I first came in contact with the Rupleys. John was a Biochemistry professor at the University and he and Ila knew my parents. They heard that I was interested in climbing and they took me out. I knew about John and I had read about some of his exploits and his connection to the bigger world of alpine climbing. He is really more of a mountaineer, in terms of his accomplishments, than a pure rock climber. We went up to the top of Mt. Lemmon and repeated some of the routes that he had put up on which protection points were largely left fixed. He is a big man and generally speaking, if he wasn�t up to free climbing, he would aid up the most difficult sections. Needless to say, the rock in Tucson and the routes that he picked weren�t particularly amenable to aid climbing. The cracks here have always been somewhat discontinuous and not really all that good as far as leaving a lot of fixed pitons. John considered these routes to be practice climbs, that he used to condition himself for his summer trips into the Sellkirks (?) and trips into other mountain ranges which is actually what he thought climbing was about. These other routes, much as they�re destination routes now, were more practice for him. That was how he viewed them. Needless to say, a lot of people, when they saw these routes full of fixed pitons, since putting in your gear and taking it out was more of the style of the day, thought they landed on a gold mine. There were several bad incidents where people pulled the gear out without returning it to John and got him pretty hot behind the collar.
What routes did you climb with him?
Steve: I climbed several routes up on the Ravens with him. I did first free ascents of a lot of these things because some of them were overhanging problems. They were, of course, well protected since they were set up to be aided so it was pretty easy to go ahead and clip the gear and work the moves out. I was mostly free climbing what was there, some of them for the first time. I got introduced to John and we climbed together several times. It was really interesting climbing with him. He came from a more old school approach in terms of the techniques he was using and his approach to clean climbing � it pretty much didn�t exist. He was into using iron. If he didn�t feel like his pitons were going to be left alone, he put bolts in instead. He had a very different approach to it. It really opened my eyes to the fact that there were many different styles and there was a lot of ways to go about it. The things I did get climbing with John were a sense of progression, a sense of accomplishment, and the work ethic to improve your individual skills to do bigger climbs � which was very much the old school approach to climbing. Rock climbing in and of itself really wasn�t an end. It was just a way to get up on something longer. So that kind of reflected his value system. I got a degree in Biochemistry, and John and I, despite big differences in political beliefs and a lot of other things, are fairly close. We have a lot of respect for one another. I have kept in contact with him over time, even though we haven�t been climbing together for quite a while. He also knows a lot of the great climbers of the time, like Chouinard, Fritz Wiessner, and a lot of other people - He introduced me to a lot of other folks like Fred Beckey who would come through and visit. Fritz Wiessner in particular was a great inspiration. When I got a chance to climb with him he was well into his 70s. It was wonderful to watch him climb. He had decades upon decades of technique and even though his arm strength wasn�t what it once was, he was very into climbing. In fact I remember him saying at one point in time, in his thick German accent, "Ven I cannot climb, I vant to die." I thought to myself, "Man, this guy is hardcore." He was at the same time, very humble, considering that he almost had the first ascent of K2 before WW2 and was a world class mountaineer by anyone�s estimation. It really connected me with alpine climbing history and tradition. Another group of people that influenced my early climbing, was Congressman Mo Udall�s family. He had three sons and three daughters and they, as a family, went climbing a lot. They were pretty accomplished Alpine climbers, the whole family. I would go out on trips with them in the early �70s. They invited me along to go into the Wind Rivers and actually go do longer Alpine climbs. That was my first experience in doing things that were longer than a couple pitch climbs that were around here. Brad Udall and I went to Yosemite.
How old were you then?
Steve: That was early on in high school, so around 1972 or 1973 � taking trips into the mountains.. It is pretty funny because I had a lot of aspirations back then too. I would fully haul a rack of iron and bolt kit to do new routes. We would get in there and look at these grade V and VI routes. I had all the drive in the world but very little experience or technique, so needless to say, it was kind of a hard to talk anybody into getting up on anything. So I had to haul all that gear out again. The weight nearly killed me on several occasions. By being in contact with the Udalls, I was connected to the bigger world of alpinism. They taught me how to snow climb, how to do a lot of things related to mountaineering that you couldn�t learn around here otherwise. So they were very influential in terms of giving me a bigger picture. I went and did some mountaineering early on with them, things like Capitol Peak, up and around Aspen. Long climbs that required bivouacs, the really full Alpine experience. So by time I was getting into high school, I�d done a lot of long climbs. A lot more than I would have done without being exposed to their family. They had a good solid skill basis. Several worked for Outward Bound, so they were experienced teachers. How did you end up meeting the Udalls?
Steve: Through my parents.. Patricia, Mo Udall�s first wife, was a real dynamo of a woman. She and Maurice, my father, got along very well. She really was a very strong and determined person. It had a lot of carry over into their family. Mo spent a lot of time away, in Washington, and that caused problems in terms of their marriage. As A family, the strength of their respective personalities was something that was very inspiring. Recently Mark Udall became an elected Congressman in the state of Colorado and I helped raise money for his campaign. He worked as director of the Colorado Outward Bound School and is really one of the foremost voices for the outdoor industry and people interested in conservation and wilderness, as his father was. So there was a really strong tradition there of the wilderness ethic. Leave it as you found it. Don�t do any damage. Think before you do anything that is going to have lasting consequences. Do not impact it � taking a conservationist view. I got exposed to that kind of ethic very early. Another thing that really affected me ethically early on was the 1972 Chouinard climbing catalog. It made a strong push for clean climbing in terms of free protection and people relying less on hammered protection. It had a lot of affect on everybody pretty much in climbing at the time in a way that�s really unparalleled. It laid out the ethics of British rock climbing. You have a small island with a fairly finite amount of rock and a lot of heavy use. They really, in contrast to what was happening in the rest of Europe, developed a low impact ethic. It allowed their routes to see heavy traffic and minimal damage. The big push was toward that same kind of ethic. Fortunately, at the same time, Chouinard equipment came out with hexes and stoppers, equipment that made all that kind of low impact climbing possible. Prior to those innovations, the kind of nuts that were available out there were just not really all that effective. The synergy of that catalog pushing that ethic and equipment that was being produced revolutionized climbing as we know it. Thinking about it now, had that not happened, and had people continued to pound pins and bust flakes off and scar and damage rock, things would be much uglier out there. It�s really pretty horrifying what would have gone on if that revolution hadn�t happened. Do you still have that catalog?
Steve: Yeah. BD is celebrating 30 years since the publication of that catalog. I just wrote a little essay for it so that is going to show up in the issue. That ethic really got pushed heavily in Tucson, largely because of the calibre of climbers that were here at the time. There essentially were not a lot of people climbing in Tucson during the �70s. When I think back about it, I recall several generations or waves of climbers in Tucson. The first wave was people like Joanna McComb, Merle Wheeler, Don Morris, and Dan Jones, who were quite a bit older than the rest of us. They were folks that were really coming into it from a mountaineering background. Somewhat separate from that group, because he was kind of isolated in climbing activities, was John Rupley. He was of the same generation but he didn�t have a lot of interaction with the other climbers here. His activities were fairly separate.
The second wave of Tucson climbers was folks that were connected with a particular class in Catalina High School: Dave Baker, Mike McEwen, Mark Axen, Kem Johnson, Jake Bender, Gail Macdonald and Scott Williams. They were all classmates more or less and got an interest in climbing collectively. They found a way to get enough equipment to do it and to learn the proper techniques. Dave, of course, went on to establish the Summit Hut as part of that quest to get better equipment. He made a very successful career out of it. There were also some other characters who were here: Marty Woerner (Sadhana), Dennis Coffee, Peter Depagtter, who were also peripherally part of the climbing scene but weren�t from that high school class. It is rather remarkable, several of those folks, Dave, Mike, Kem and Mark were very good climbers. They were responsible for pushing the standards that really made this place a very traditionally bold climbing area for quite a number of years. I�ll talk a little more about those guys in a minute. The third generation was myself, Rich Thompson, Gary Hervert, Gary Axen (who was Mark�s younger brother) were kind of a small wave of climbers that came along. Then the next group was John Steiger, Ray Ringle, Scott Brown, Fig Fiola, Don Galagher, and a couple of people moved into town from Phoenix: Peter Noebels and Herb North. Essentially, that core group of people, the second, third, and fourth generations were the wave of climbers that were here during the golden period, if you want to look at it that way. When I was just getting into high school, the primary person that I was climbing with was Rich Thompson. He was a pretty remarkable figure in Tucson climbing history. He was an avid hiker, an avid explorer, and we had a good solid bond in terms of going out and establishing routes. A lot of the time I spent climbing during high school was with Rich. He�d get me up first thing in the morning on Saturday and we�d go out and climb on one if not both days on most weekends. He was responsible for my missing Monday at school quite a lot. A lot of times I wouldn�t show up and people would wonder where I was. After a while, they knew where I was. I was at home sleeping because I spent all of Sunday night climbing down off some summit with a flashlight in my mouth. In high school, that�s what I spent my time doing. I spent a lot of time in organized sports prior to that, but when I discovered climbing, being on the football team or on the tennis team just seemed like nothing in comparison. Rich was responsible for doing a lot of things which unified the climbing community here and made a lot of the local climbing more accessible. Dave Baker kept a set of notes in the Summit Hut, which was the "notebook". It was really the only way you got any information about what had been climbed here. They were written descriptions along with photographs. Rich started to take those notes, amplify on them, and keep them up, so the guidebook became a complete thing. When you went up and did a first ascent, you would come down and talk to Rich about it. You would write it up right there and it would go right into the book. He kind of became the keeper of a lot of route information, he was responsible for maintaining the guide. He worked at the Summit Hut and Dave fortunately didn�t have any problem with that. It was part of his job description to do that kind of work. He made a comparative list of the routes and the grades. There was a big problem because everybody was guessing about comparative climbing grades back then. A lot of climbs were being underrated by at least a letter grade or so. If you had a benchmark climb like FIUTT for instance, that was going to be the basis for 5.8s, then everybody went and climbed that route and anything that seemed about as hard as the FIUTT was a 5.8. Well, it turned out that that route is a 5.9, so the whole thing was skewed. And nobody really knew much about it. When Rich first compiled that list, the hardest climb in the area was a route called "The Last Supper" which is now solid 5.11. It was rated 5.10+ along with a handful of other climbs. That was really as hard as anything got. He made an effort to make the rating system somewhat sensible. Arizona was well known for the same kind of problems with ratings. Nobody thought that local routes measured up with what was being done in Yosemite at the 5.11 standard. Even though Tucson climbers had climbed 5.11 in Yosemite, Mike McEwen for instance, was rather well known for the routes that he was doing, and a lot of climbers there were asking after him when I started visiting Yosemite. He was obviously a very brilliant climber. He was climbing not necessarily at the highest standard of the day but he was climbing in such a style, with such ease, because of his natural ability that he caught a lot of people�s attention. So it was a big deal when I started leading 5.11 routes: face climbs, as well as cracks in the Valley to have a solid basis of comparison. I really liked climbing face there, even though there weren�t a lot of face climbs. I came back and said, "We definitely have 5.11 routes here, plenty of them. We really need to start upgrading some of these routes." I made a conscious effort then to go back through the rating system. Every time I climbed something, try to equate it to a Yosemite type of a rating system. Had Rich not gone to the trouble to compile that list and make an attempt to make sense out of it, that never would have happened. As well as the bold nature of climbing here, a lot of people ran into trouble because they�d come and then try to climb something that they thought would be well within their ability. Of course, they would be much harder. A lot of folks were getting put off. I didn�t have enough ego attachment to the numbers to want to continue underrating. What�s the harm if we make these 5.9+s 5.10? Who is really going to be bothered by it? I didn�t feel egotistically like it was going to be a problem to soften the ratings. So the numbering system now matches pretty well with Yosemite?
Steve: It�s pretty decent. A lot of Yosemite climbs are cracks. There aren�t a lot of cracks around here. I think the rating system equalized itself out. It has the same problem that the Yosemite rating system ran into when massive amounts of 5.10s were climbed. Somebody finally said, "O.K., this thing is harder than all those others. It�s finally a 5.11." People eventually realized that there were four discernable grades in between. The whole letter grade compression was the result of people�s insecurity, not wanting to rate things accurately using an open-ended scale. That�s why the rating system started getting jammed up in the higher grades. We really should be climbing routes that are 5.25. The letter rating system never really caught on, it was a 5.10 or a 5.10+. Eventually a 5.10- creeped in there as people had a better basis of comparison. So that�s the rating system that Rich used? With the + and -?
Steve: No I think he used just the + designation.
The other thing that Rich Thompson really contributed to was local climbing photography. When we would go climbing together, I knew whenever I was on a crux, that he was going to be looking through the camera lens. I figured out early on that I better not be falling off any of these moves. He was an excellent photographer and made the effort to go out of his way to set things up and take pictures. A lot of social activity was centered around climbing slide shows. Somebody would go away on a trip or put up some routes and we would all get together and show climbing slides. He was very instrumental in making sure that the social web held together. We had reasons to come together beyond just going out climbing. That people interacted socially. For that reason, the climbing community here was very, very tight. Do you know what happened to the slides or photos?
Steve: I just returned a box of them to Dave Baker. We are in the process right now of trying to locate his Tucson climbing slides. They went to John Steiger back when he was working on the guidebook and his recollection is that he left them with somebody in town here � probably Ray. I hope they didn�t end up getting lost, because he had a lot of really superb images. They would be nice to see. Steve: Yes. Hopefully, those will surface in time here. Unfortunately Rich was killed in Tucson�s first climbing accident that I remember. He was not a particularly bold face climber, despite the fact that that�s most of the climbing that was here. The irony of that accident was that he had just finished a route called "Shanashee" which was a brilliant face climb up in the Reef of Rocks. Very, very run out, very committing. He put up basically the best route he ever did, as far as a first ascent. He finished that route and was climbing a route called "Block Buster Ballet" which was a 5.6 with his partner Tim Kelly. Tim Kelly had climbed up about 100� and put in a belay. Rich was following and was trying to do some public service to clean up some loose blocks that were still on the route. He pulled on some of them. One of them, a fairly sizable one, fell across the rope and pulled on Tim�s belay. It had been put in quickly because they were thinking that they were just going to be getting out of there. He really wasn�t planning on holding any kind of a big fall on an easy climb like that and unfortunately the belay was pulled out. Rich fell to the ground with blocks on top of him. Tim Kelly was pulled a 100� to the ground and survived. That really was an unfortunate end to his climbing career. He was otherwise a very safe climber. It just kind of goes to show you that if you put a belay in, you need to place it well. You never know what is going to happen. The shock and the loss were pretty big. His wife Rene at the time is now married to Dave Baker and has a family. It kind of made all of us stop and take a look at what we were doing very seriously. Then we realized that Rich, of course, wouldn�t have wanted us to quit climbing on his account so we all kind of went back at it, a little bit wiser for the experience. So essentially, out of that core group of climbers that I talked about, probably the ones that influenced me the most were Dave Baker, Mike McEwen, and Mark Axen -for very different reasons. Dave Baker was very much the penultimate explorer. He was very active and very motivated to get a lot of first ascents and to get up on top of a lot of the major features here. Climbing back in those days was really less about individual routes and filling in the all the blanks on particular small cliffs as it was about summits and doing long routes. There were so many good lines available to do. It was quite a long time before I actually managed to get to a significant summit that Dave hadn�t climbed first. In 1979, with John Steiger and Paul Davidson , I managed to climb "Chay Desa Tsay" which in Apache means big windy rock - down in the Coshise Stronghold. It was a summit that Dave hadn�t gotten to and that was kind of a big thing at the time because he pretty much had most first ascents. He was very motivated and very capable. He was a very good crack climber and was somebody who went out of his way to climb off-width cracks. This was incomprehensible to most people at the time. He taught me a lot about climbing safety and being solid in crack climbing, learning technique and really working it. He and I had several good experiences. Probably one of my favorites was the first ascent of "Days of Future Past" on the End Pinnacle (1973). We had quite an adventure on this thing. Despite being the man who owned the climbing store we got up to the base of the route and Dave had said that he was going to bring all the gear. He dumped out his pack we had one rope. I looked at the gear he brought � the smallest piece of gear we had was a #4 hex. Other than that, we had nothing smaller than a #8 hex. He didn�t bring a full rack. He just kind of grabbed a pack and headed out. The other thing was, he had basically only about three bolts with him. So we headed up for a first ascent on about a 400� tower with one rope. It had been climbed before by the "Cap�m Pissgums" route on the other side. For those of you people that know that route, we climbed all the way up to the end of the crack. Dave put in a belay on some bongs and some nuts and I climbed to the very end of the crack. I put in a bolt and then ran out most of the rest of the next pitch � I got all the way up to the middle of the face on the third pitch and put in one bolt. Then, thinking, well, I guess if I find nothing, then I am just going to climb down. I headed up and I had no more bolts. So I got all the way up to the ledge and then we looked at the upper head wall. It was kind of getting late in the day and it was like, "O.K. well, now we�ve gone and done it." I went way around the left side of the pinnacle, all on this ledge system, put in a couple of sideways bongs and brought Dave up. We ended up climbing around the corner into this chimney and climbing down to the anchors that you can get to - off of the descent ones that had been established on "Cap�m Pissgums." Well, the next we went up to do the route, we got up there, but Rich Thompson was with us this time. We got up there and we had a proper rack, we knew what the climbing was, so I asked Dave, "Well Dave, how many bolts did you bring with you this time?" He said, "I got plenty of bolts, don�t worry about it. I got plenty of bolts." So he pulls out the pack and dumps it out and says, "Oh, no. I�ve only got four bolts. I thought I had more than that." I am shaking my head saying, "Oh, boy, this is good. This is really good." So we climbed up the route, went up to the end of the crack, made a station out at the end of the crack with a couple of bolts. I went up on the third pitch and put in two more protection bolts where I had run it out before. I got all the way up to the ledge and put in two bolts and that was it. We had no more bolts. We were at the base of the last pitch and that was it. Dave was standing there and said, "I guess we are going to have to do the same thing. We are going to have to weasel into the chimney and get down again." Rich grinned at him, smiled, reached into his pocket and pulled out a drill and one single �" bolt. He handed it to him with a grin and in a devilish voice said, " it�s your lead, Dave." That route now has several bolts on that pitch. Dave climbed into the chimney and worked his way across some rotten plates, out onto the face directly above the belay which is where the route goes now. He put in the one bolt and then ran it out to the summit and got to the top. On both occasions, we were hampered by not having enough gear � which was pretty hilarious. That was really a big break-through route at the time, for the three of us. One of the first times I climbed with Dave and I knew then to regard him with suspicion after that � as far as the selection of gear. How old were you when you were climbing there?
Steve: I was still back in high school, I am pretty sure. That was the first big, significant, multi-pitch route I�d ever done at the time, other than doing established things in the mountains. That is a spectacular route.
Steve: Yes. It is really, really a good climb, but that�s the story. Very few people realize that that entire third pitch was lead with one bolt originally. Pretty committing at the time, but I just kept on climbing. Mark Axen was another person who had a lot of influence on my climbing. He was somebody who had a very strong technical background. He was very good with tools and really embraced the low impact-climbing ethic that was going on in the early �70s. He�s very, very into clean climbing and had an awful lot of natural ability. He also was a pioneering hang-glider pilot, parapent pilot and had gotten in on the ground floor of both activities. I really looked up to him as this multidimensional adventurer. His natural ability was really striking. He and Dave, and Mike as well, all three of them, had a lot of ability that just seemed to come effortlessly. I learned a lot from him about protection systems and about the value of committing, going for climbs and trusting yourself, trusting your equipment, and protection placements which was really a big deal. A lot of climbers in the early �70s had their feet in both worlds where you really didn�t quite trust these nut things and you really didn�t quite trust pins either because they were troublesome. He was one of the people that really got me to stop hammering on protection and not worry about trusting myself and my ability to place nuts. They were somewhat primitive back in those days. You didn�t really want to fall and people didn�t very often. It was really a hard thing just kind of quiet your mind and trust that you were doing the right thing as far as placing protection. He had a strong influence on me technically. Probably the biggest contributor to my climbing though was Mike McEwen, it terms of role modeling. He was somebody who�s probably one of the best natural climbers that I have ever seen. He was able to do boulder problems out at the end of Campbell in his street shoes that I couldn�t do with my climbing shoes on. He was thin and had a very, very natural climbing style. He was famous for climbing with almost no gear at all. He climbed with a rack that had probably eight pieces on it. I always carried everything but the kitchen sink. It was always kind of a laughable situation when we went climbing together the few times that we did. "Do you want to climb on my rack?" If he asked the question, it was "No! We can climb on your rack but I will bring some extra stuff to go along." So he would always just climb until he found a place to put those nuts in. He made that rack work. One of my favorite routes, most significant ones, "Abracadaver" down in the stronghold on the main Rockfellow dome. Dave Baker, Mike, and I did that route and everybody got to do what they do what they were best at on that route. I climbed up this funny, rotten groove on the first pitch that required some tricky protection and a lot of odd-ball face climbing techniques. Dave Baker got the second pitch that was a long run-out up what he called a 5.9 off-width, which is definitely 5.10- off-width. He clipped into a bolt that had been left on a previous attempt and basically ran the whole pitch out. Then Mike got his lead which was brilliant lie-backing, up this crack that steadily got smaller and smaller and smaller and then a wild, blind traverse around the corner where the protection really wasn�t there. He was very run-out but, of course, he found a spot for his favorite #4 copperhead, which was one of the pieces that he carried. It is now pretty much useless. Nobody carries those things. He did and he always managed to find a spot for them. Actually, we weren�t able to get that out and that piece was fixed up there for quite a long time. Kind of a cool thing to clip into. But that route, we did several more pitches after that to get up to the top. That was really one of the high points of my climbing at the time. It was a beautiful, striking line. Anyone that gets underneath it, looks up, and it is kind of a gut wrencher. It�s all there. There�s good protection but it�s bold. It was a very big technical breakthrough to climb something like that at the time. It looked like a Yosemite route. It was intimidating like a Yosemite route. It was really a wild thing to be involved in. The other thing about Mike, in addition to his Yosemite reputation for climbing, is he hated drilling holes. He was famous for putting in bolts that only went in halfway and just running it out. He didn�t like stopping to put protection in. One of the routes that typified that the best is "Helm�s Deep" up on Rappel Rock. It was originally climbed by Mike McEwen and Dave Baker back in 1971. The first pitch has a lot of funny moves into a groove and then you go up. The second pitch is pretty much a flat, steep face, very steep face. Mike climbed up and drilled the first bolt on it. It was sticking kind of halfway out. A typical kind of thing, he says, "Aw, I can�t screw around with this anymore. I am just going to go climb it." He was probably wearing blue RR�s, that�s hard-soled shoes, and he climbed up above there and it is solid 5.10 climbing, well out from that bolt that was only halfway in. Up above that it is continuous 5.9. Rather than stop and put another bolt in, he just did what Mike always did which is run it out. At that point, he just kept running it out and running it out and running it out. Dave, sitting at the belay, kept looking at the down at the ground, wondering whether he was going to end up on the ground if he fell and pulled the first bolt out which was sticking out quite a ways. He finally got up to a spot where there was a belay and he put in two crumby bolts in his typical style and brought Dave up. I repeated the route quite a while later with Dave Baker and he told me the story of all that. I went out and led the route and was looking at the moves in EBs, in far better footwear and just shook my head at his ability to gut it out and get through that section. It was pretty impressive at the time. That was a route that really a "must do" route for folks back then. We replaced some of the bolts. In fact Dave was so unnerved by the whole thing that he had Mike lower the bolt kit down to him when he was following the second pitch and he put the second bolt in. He said, "This is no good at all. No one�s ever going to do that again, so I am going to put a bolt in here." He made the route sensible. He didn�t want to walk away from a route that was a horror show like that. It is pretty interesting. If you ever do the route, just ponder that. What it would be like in hard-soled shoes, way, way, way out. A lot of people climbed in blue Royal Robbin�s. The footwear of the day was almost all hard-soled shoes. Until eventually EBs came out and they kind of revolutionized a lot of climbing here. There was a route called "Voodoo Child" that had been put up that is a slab route up on Rappel Rock. It was well protected so falling wasn�t really an issue. It had taken dozens and dozens and dozens of falls to do and Mike eventually got it. As a young upstart climber, I went up to do it with Rich Thompson and got up to that pitch and managed to make it through the crux section without falling at all. That was unheard of at the time. I found a different sequence. I was using slightly different footwear and I just managed to move through it without falling off. I gained a lot of respect from the folks of the Summit Hut on that one. Because that was really something that really kind of blew people�s minds. Now with sticky rubber, that pitch is not terribly difficult because it is a friction pitch. At the time, it was one of the hardest standing problems on the mountain it terms of how much went into actually climbing it the first time. So that kind of pumped me up a lot of notches in people�s estimation as far as face climbing. That is the kind of climbing I really enjoy � bolted face climbing especially. It has always been something I have enjoyed ever since then. Mark Axen, Mike McEwen, and Dave Baker, really set the tone in terms of where the standard was in terms of boldness in climbing in Tucson. A lot of the routes that were put up here, we put in bolts as an absolute last resort. That was the style nationally. It was particularly the style here. If you felt like somebody else could do it in better style, you would think really hard about leaving the route for somebody else. It is kind of an odd thing now to think about because that kind of selflessness really doesn�t exist anymore. Very few people think, "Well, if I want to do this climb and no one�s done it, then I have to do it as well as possible." But the whole idea that it was a scarce resource and that there were a limited number of first ascents and really you wanted to leave the prize of a first ascent to someone who could do it well was very much in the forefront of people�s minds. So you thought real long and hard about placing a bolt on a route in terms of whether it was really necessary, whether you were really climbing at your best or not, whether the impact from a single bolt was worth the route that you were putting up. That�s very alien now. You see sport routes and you see lines of bolts and a very different development style. But that�s what forced the climbing style to go that direction. At the same time as all this drama was going on internally, in terms of whether you place a bolt or not, when I was going to climb in other areas, I really liked bolted face routes. I�d go to Tahquitz and Suicide and I really got into the challenge of climbing difficult, difficult face climbing with that kind of protection. It kind of cut both ways. Good routes could be created using bolts, although they were rarely ever closely spaced. They were the great equalizer in climbing at the time. There were very few climbs that were heavily bolted to the point where you didn�t need to use natural protection. There would be climbs where protection was not an issue. So this was a difficult place to learn to climb. It was very much trial by fire. The people that climb here now, are learning to climb in Tucson, it is a very different environment. A much better one in a lot of ways. You can learn to move, learn to lead, and have the option of climbing routes that are protected by bolts without worrying so much about the danger aspect of it. That, in combination of climbing in climbing gyms, where you are under the same kind of environment, is a good thing. It made it much easier to push standards. When you do everything on the sharp end, essentially, it is all trial by fire. It took a long time for myself and a lot of other people to push ourselves to the point of climbing 5.10 routes and harder. As time went by, a lot of gear started showing up. RPs started showing up. Camming units started showing up. With each innovation in gear, it allowed us to push things a little bit farther. Routes that were completely inconceivable were suddenly getting climbed, where suddenly they seemed like something that you might be able to do. If you looked up at an unclimbed section of rock and you could see a black line, you could see a deep crack anywhere, you knew at the very minimum you could get up to that point. You could hang there and get down or do what ever you need to do. If everything was working and you were in good shape, and the rock would cooperate somewhat, you could pull off some really wild leads. So the whole psychology of climbing changed a lot in terms of what was possible and what people were able to do as the range of tools expanded. That really had a large influence on the type of climbs that went up. Do you think you pushed that ethic to an extreme?
Steve: I think I did. I had a lot of confidence in being good with protection. I always had a very strong ability to trust my protection. I am known for doing routes that are really bold, very bold, but very few of them don�t have protection on them. We were so much more used to hanging in the middle of difficult rock and working it out, getting protection where you could, working up a little bit higher. For that reason, protection and placing ability and just the level of perception that went into climbing was much higher. Climbing in the old days with a rack of hexes and stoppers, you had to pay such acute attention to what you were doing. Every decision was consequential. If you climbed by a nut placement, you didn�t really know if you were going to get anything up higher and you had a limited number of tools. The amount of attention that was required to do something safely was much higher.

2010 The relationship between HIV/AIDS and the Environment under a microscope
The HIV/AIDS pandemic affects every person, organization and sector in Africa. This includes the natural resource sector where impacts include loss of human capacity for natural resource management and changes in use of land and natural resources. IUCN-ESARO is working in partnership with the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) to improve the understanding of the relationships between HIV/AIDS, the environment and livelihoods.
Funded by IDRC, the project is based on the recognition that HIV/AIDS affected rural households are more likely to be impoverished and as a consequence rely stronger on natural resources for their livelihoods. Nature provides them with a safety net free of charge. There is indication that HIV/AIDS affected rural households rely more on wild fruits and plants to complement their diet. In addition, the collection of firewood, fruits and plants provides additional income to the family. Further partnerships have also been established with the University of Nairobi and the Washington State University to develop a conceptual framework on the relationships between HIV/AIDS and the environment that will bring out clear understanding of the relationship between HIV/AIDS and the environment. This collaboration is also geared towards enhancing future project collaborations on this subject. More information on these linkages can be accessed on http://www.iucn.org/about/union/secretariat/ offices/esaro/our_work_drylands/ drylands/idrc1/

Interesting Approach – The Counselor Education program is ranked # 11 in the country (out of many, many programs). The courses will be relatively easy, especially if you are good with writing papers. The professors have a different approach than I've ever seen before. They give you very little information about assignments before you hand them in. They want you to make the assignments "your own" rather than giving specific requirements. Overall, good program.

UCF Knights have an excellent athletics department. The most popular is the football and basketball. There is not a swim team which I wish it was one. I will be glad to join the volleyball. Love those KNIGHTS!!!!!
Guys & Girls:
Down to Earth – The students are average and down to Earth. Love the social life and the new relationships that I have made are awesome.
The school that I chose was University of Central Florida. It is located in Orlando Florida where the heart of Florida is. Located in this city is Disney World, Universal Studios, Holy Land and a host of other attractions that is too numerous to name. This city is friendly and is one of the best tourist attraction in the world. It is a calm place to be and I would love to leave there when I finish my schooling. Orlando is much larger than I thoughtand since the University of Central Florida a research there is no room for failure there. I really love this school and being a Knight.
BFA in Fine Arts – The Fine Arts program is restrictive to students with good grades in art classes, as it should be. Since this past semester, the portfolio review to get accepted into upper-level art classes is done online (uploading your images) - very efficient. Next semester I'll start my first painting classes (sophomore-level). I can't wait.
College Junior Mar 26 2012
Wish I Didn't Have a Car – There's lots of parking, but unless you have a moped or motorcycle the walk to classes is extreme. UCF is a huge campus and if you don't get to class early you may not find a parking spot or you'll have to walk far either way.
Mix of Everything – UCF is called the University of Central Florida for a reason. Orlando is a mixing pot of all sorts of people. The campus isn't any different. If you have a specific type of guy/girl you like or want to hang out with, you'll find them at UCF.
Why Live on Campus? The Prices are just way to high to be reasonable for the amount of space versus the cost. I live off campus because I can choose roommates who won't party all the time, a location that's not overrun by college students, decently quite, and above all inexpensive. I get a very large room, private bathroom, and have one roommate and pay less than someone sharing a space where there's four or more people living in the apartment. You do your research and off campus living = A+
Great Shuttle – UCF chose a great part of town to locate their large campus. They dominate that area, which facilitates traffic and convenience to restaurants close-by. The shuttle bus stops at many apts in the neighborhood. Plus UCF is a main stop for the local Orlando "Lynx busline". I think they have a great system.
Many Choices Available – There are MANY choices of living situations around UCF: apartments, condos, roommate-to-share, etc. Because we are in Florida, usually they have AT LEAST one pool, plus some community activities, an area with a microwave and TV. PLus the UCF Shuttle bus stops by a majority of the apts in the area, making it convenient, not to mention save on gas!!
Hard to Find – Finding buses that are going to your desired location can be a bit of a challenge. The buses that are affiliated with off campus housing run at scheduled times, so they are pretty reliable. Otherwise, its hard to find transportation if you dont have a car and want to go grocery shopping.
Partying and Drinking – There is definitely a lot more drinking going on at parties than anything else. The RA's on campus are very strict about alcohol possession so the majority of drinking goes on off campus.
There are a few parties that happen on the weekend, you just have to find out where they are. The clubs across from campus are a lot of fun if you go on a popular night, but sometimes they can be dirty too.
It's Florida. It's sunny year round and the winters are fairly mild, save for a cold front every now and again. Temperature will reach 90 from march and sometimes into November. People tend to lay out at the pool, of sorority girls on their respective houses front lawns. Summer is hot with thunderstorms nearly everyday, however these generally pass in a hour or two.
UCF has awesome resources for students. The most amazing part of being a UCF student is that the institution is genuinely concerned about your success as a student.
Drugs Are Almost Everywhere – I know of many people who smoke weed on a regular basis, and its generally one call away if you want it. Harder drugs on the other hand aren't as visible, but they are absolutely being used at an above average rate. Alcohol, simply put, is everywhere. Bars around campus are extremely lax on fake id's. There is considerably more pressure to drink, or smoke weed but others drugs seem to be more taboo, and are not encountered very often. The campus has a strict policy on drugs for people living in the dorms. Get caught once and you are gone. Alcohol I think is a three strike policy.
I would say that the diversity is better than normal, but not outstanding. There is a sizable black and hispanic population, but in terms of other races, not as much. There are also clubs/ organizations for different political beliefs although the college republicans and democrats are the main two. There are multiple religious organizations which seems to be very active, and I believe there are also multiple LGBT groups. Overall a fairly diverse campus.
50,000+ Students Means a Lot of People – While looking around UCF's main campus it is predominately Caucasian. But with so many people, every ethnicity is represented. And it is certain that a group or student organization corresponding to your personal race/ethnicity is available. Market Wednesday's are a clear sign of this. Every Wednesday student groups set up tables in front of the Student Union to promote their organization. Every interest imaginable is represented. UCF is a very diverse university.
At UCF On-Campus housing is pretty limited. With so many students, anyone other than freshman do not usually live on-campus. However, some upper level students live in the apartment style housing known as Towers (1-4) or some Nike/Hercules complexes. As a freshman, I lived in Flager, a part of the Libra community. The dorm style had a communal living area or "pod". This was my favorite part of the dorm because I was a part of the Out-of-State Program. It helped me interact and meet other students who lived on my floor. The rooms were nice as well. A jack-and-jill style bathroom meant only four students shared one shower and one toilet. Every room had their own personal sink.
Flashy but Simple – When on tour of UCF the dining halls ensure a great meal to their future "customers". Both dining halls, (Knightros and Market Place) are great in appearance; clean, modern, well-lit, and spacious. However, as a freshman, eating every meal at the same location get repetitive. If you have a special meal plan that allows Dining Dollars, there are other on campus restaurants you can eat at. This offers a good variety without paying even more money than you already did on the meal plan.

Overall infrastructure is good keeping in mind UCF is the second largest university in the nation in terms of student enrollment. Great companies come in too so if you have talent you can definitely make the best use of it.
Shuttle Service and Gym Are Very Nice – I cam from outside this country and shuttle services to the nearby apartments really help students who don't have a car. They also have frequency throughout the day which helps you get on campus on time and not pay for parking decal.Gym is awesome. Fully equiped and open most of the times almost everyday.
Working With Teams Help – Good class room interaction with classmates and professors. Group assisgnments, presentations etc give you ample opportunities to gain knwoledge , develop inter-personal skills etc.
Scholarships:
No Problem – When you apply for admittance at UCF, they automatically enter you in all the financial aid applications you're available for. If you want more...they provide information for outside scholarships as well. But at the end of the day UCF with give you your best scholarship offer hassle-free.

UCF is growing by leaps and bounds. The students love to hang out, and they all know how to have a good time. There’s so much to do and there’s something for everyone. Do you really need any more reasons to go to college in Florida?Orlando is an exciting city with tons of attractions and activities available to all. In many ways, going to school at UCF resembles a four-year vacation (Disney on Sunday, classes on Monday!). Downtown Orlando on a Friday night can, at times, seem like Mardi Gras, and City Walk on a Saturday night isn’t to be missed. Also, Floridians are welcoming and friendly and most students at UCF make friends quickly and easily. Friendly faces and sunny skies, what more could a college student ask for? The stellar academics, up-and-coming sports teams, and state-of-the-art facilities are reason enough to spend the next four years of your life at UCF; the city of Orlando is just one big fringe benefit. Come join us!

In the beginning this article was an “index.html” saved in the “glitter” folder. Then it got the working title “The work of users in times of perfect templates”. Then it became “Rich User Experience for the Poor” and was presented at the New Network Theory conference. After the presentation, UCSB professor Alan Lui suggested to rename it to “Homesick”. But for the moment I'll leave it as
Vernacular Web 2
Deutsche Version: Teil 1, Teil 2
Two years ago I wrote an article titled “A Vernacular Web”, in which I tried to collect, classify and describe the most important elements of the early Web – visual as well as acoustic – and the habits of first Web users, their ideas of harmony and order.
I’m talking about everything that became a subject of mockery by the end of the last century when professional designers arrived, everything that fell out of use and turns up every now and again as the elements of “retro” look in site design or in the works of artists exploring the theme of “digital folklore”: the “Under Construction” signs, outer space backgrounds, MIDI-files, collections of animated web graphics and so on.
If you are missing the way pages looked before, you should install The Timemachine Firefox Add-on by Tobias Leingruber.
And today, in the end of June 2007, when we hear of amateur culture more often than ever before, the cultural influence of “Welcome to My Home Page” web pages looks especially interesting. People who created them and their ideas of what the Web is, how it can be used and how the pages should look, these people’s likes and mistakes gave the today’s Web its current shape.
To me, what defines the history of Web is not just the launch dates of new browsers or services, not just the dot-com bubbles appearing or bursting, but also the appearance of a blinking yellow button that said “New!” or the sudden mass extinction of starry wallpapers. Jenkins wrote in his 2002 article Blog This!:
“We learned in the history books about Samuel Morse's invention of the telegraph, but not about the thousands of operators who shaped the circulation of message.”
To rephrase him, I’d say we’ve studied the history of hypertext, but not the history of Metallica fan web rings or web rings in general.
The relationship between ordinary users and the Web of the 90s is a very interesting subject to study, because it’s a relationship filled with love, hate, all kinds of drama – in other words, it’s a full-blown relationship between a new medium and its first users, a relationship that’s exalted, complex, sometimes silly – whatever it is, all that matters is that it existed.
Today, that relationship is gone. And for a good reason. The space that we’ve researched as a new medium for the last ten years has turned into the most mass medium of them all. Nothing more than a mass medium, permeating our daily lives to the point of becoming invisible. Its numerous users are busy working, having a good time or expressing themselves, and they have almost perfect tools and services at their disposal. Connection never breaks, distinction between a server and a hard disk, between your desktop and that of another person has almost vanished, and there’s nothing that could contribute to the development of user-media relationship, nothing to provoke us.
Web 2.0 propagandists can’t stop talking about the multitude and power of today’s web amateurs, the new users who love to dance, compose songs, write encyclopedic articles, take photos and film videos, write texts and publish it all on the Web. And yet, they are rather indifferent to the Web itself.
So, here’s the question: how does the Web look now, when it’s no longer seen as the technology of the future, when it’s intertwined with our daily lives and filled by people who are not excited by the mere fact of its existence?
At a first glance, this question looks like a purely aesthetic one. One might think it’s almost unimportant. But in fact, nothing demonstrates the state of the Web in general and the state of its services, in particular the ones that follow the Web 2.0 ideology, as clearly as the style and look of ordinary users’ home pages.
Garden Gnomes
I guess I took it a bit too far when I called them “home pages”. Home pages no longer exist. Instead, there are other genres: accounts, profiles, journals, personal spaces, channels, blogs and homes. I’d like to pay special attention to the latter ones.
Professional web developers and designers scorned home pages (namely, personal home pages) starting from the mid-90’s. In an 1998 interview to W3J, Tim Berners-Lee formulated his attitude to private home pages:
“They may call it a home page, but it’s more like the gnome in somebody’s front yard than the home itself.”
Pioneer of Russian web designer, Artemi Lebedev, included home pages and their creators in his hate list, next to boiled onions and the Caps Lock key.
Two years ago, the Dutch interaction designer Hayo Wagenaar, with whom I shared a panel at the Decade of Webdesign conference, flung a remark:
“The question is, what do we think of amateurs getting involved in web design? It feels like getting stuck on the highway behind a caravan.”
Little by little, home pages became the lowest possible lifeform on the Web – it became terminally uncool, and in the end, useless to have one. Now, if you want to expose yourself to the world simply and effectively, you’re supposed to go to a site specifically designed for this purpose. The new generation of Web users create accounts, profiles, journals, spaces, channels, or blogs. The old generation had to move as well.
I’m far from imagining this process as painful and dramatic, though there are examples that cause mixed feelings – like, for instance, when the heroes of the 90’s such as Peter Pan convert their pages to another format, to the language of MySpace.
Peter Pan's classic home page
Peter Pan's Myspace Page
It’s worth noting, and can be of special interest for designers, that home pages in the other sense – meaning first pages of sites or projects – lost their significance as well. Nobody really needs them anymore. They have been replaced by a modest-looking Google start page, which wraps itself around every website like a dust jacket.
Interestingly, even though home pages no longer exist, every other service invites its users to re-create the feel of a home page, offers ways to personalize their space quickly and easily.
In March this year iGoogle, formerly known as Google Personalized Homepage, announced six new themes for their users: Seasonal Scape, Tea House, Bus Stop and others. On this occasion, Jessica Ewing, Google Product Manager, wrote in the official Google blog:
“… you can choose between the classic theme and the six new themes we’ve designed. We hope this feature makes the Google homepage feel a little more like, well, home.”
Why does Google want us to feel like home on their pages? Not to bind us to themselves, that’s for sure – they don’t need that; they’ve already got us hooked. When they offer me to “feel at home”, they mean something different. They mean home as opposed to work. What they’re saying is “Relax, have fun. Play around while we work. We are professionals; you are amateurs.”
In his preface to “0 Comments” Geert Lovink noted – it was related to a different subject, namely the CC license, but I still want to quote him –:
“The exclusive focus on young and innocent amateurs that just want to have fun, and the resentment against professionals is not accidental. Amateurs are less likely to stand up and claim a part of the fast increasing surplus value (both symbolical and in real money term) that the Internet is creating.”
It might sound paradoxical, but by encouraging the user to “feel at home” services create more distance between the users and themselves. Simplistic, silly graphics, senseless gadgets, customized pages with virtual puppies and kittens of the day heaped together with CNN news and bites of wisdom from Oprah – all of that subtly serves to show the user his proper place.

ABCO: A Lesson on Meeting Change With a Winning Plan
Michael Maynard | HVACR EMAIL
Comments 0 Advertisement As the New York City metropolitan area expanded rapidly in the decades following World War II, so too did ABCO HVACR Supply + Solutions. The business was founded in 1949 as ABCO Refrigeration Supply Corp. by Jules Gottlieb, a commander of a Navy minesweeper in the Pacific theater during the war. When he returned home, he was determined to build a customer service-oriented, sales-driven wholesale distribution company. With an agile engineer's intellect and a savvy skill at sales, Gottlieb believed that each and every customer was ABCO's most important customer. Along with his partner, George Moncher, who joined the organization several years after its founding, ABCO became the dominant New York City-based refrigeration wholesaler distributor. But what happens to a business when the pace of development slows and the customers' needs change? It takes more than a rich history and tradition to continue growing and moving a company forward. For ABCO, this time came in the late 1980s as the economy and the region's growth slowed. ABCO was still successful at what they did, but they were too limited — in both their scope and their geography. When Michael Senter joined Gottlieb, Moncher and Gottlieb's son, Jon, in 1992, they recognized that ABCO had to evolve and grow if it was going to remain successful. "Their love of the business and enthusiasm for disciplined engineering and relationship-based sales were contagious, but limited in scope to core refrigeration customers in metro New York," says Senter, CEO of ABCO, speaking of the Gottliebs and Moncher. "Expansion had not yet reached across the George Washington Bridge to New Jersey nor had our talents varied greatly from a focus on refrigeration equipment, parts and materials." With the core philosophies of Gottlieb and Moncher firmly intact, ABCO in 1992 began ITS expansion. The business moved beyond its refrigeration roots into air-conditioning and heating equipment, parts, accessories and knowledge. Today, ABCO is about 600 percent larger than it was in 1992 with 17 full-service facilities and branches serving markets from Boston to Washington, D.C. ABCO also features a narrow aisle, high ceiling, 90,000-square-foot central distribution center in Queens, NY, that provides around-the-clock service to its customers and branches. It is among the largest distributors of DuPont refrigerants, Mitsubishi Heating and Air Conditioning equipment, Luxaire Heating and Air Conditioning equipment and Mueller copper. ABCO also is a distributor for such traditional refrigeration product lines as Copeland compressors, Bohn equipment, Russell equipment, Tecumseh compressors, as well as walk-in boxes from TAFCO, Crown Tonka and AmeriKooler. ABCO also recently added a new division — ABCO Engineering Resources — focused primarily on serving the engineering and architecture communities as well as providing sophisticated engineering support to air-conditioning and refrigeration contractors throughout its market. Even as ABCO expanded, however, Senter is quick to point out that great customer service has always remained a hallmark. "We needed to be as dedicated to the requirements and interests of air-conditioning contractors as we were to refrigeration contractors," he says. "But that expansion of focus had to feature great customer service and technical support or we would fail to establish lasting value among our customers." Page 2 of 5 ABCO has continued to earn this trust among its contractor customers in the Northeast by only selling to contractors and working to enhance their capabilities. Senter says ABCO's philosophy is to provide all of its customers with "opportunities, resources and solutions." That means having a deep, readily-available and high-quality inventory accessible to customers as well as the means to get its products and equipment to them whenever and wherever they are. ABCO's staff also plays an integral role in making this happen, and Senter says this includes everyone in the organization: sales account managers, branch managers, application engineers, customer service representatives and counter teams as well as the warehouse teams and drivers. "We believe that ABCO must be a knowledgeable, resourceful and, therefore, valuable member of each customer's team," Senter says. "We try to understand each customer's individual requirements and each customer's unique outlook on its business. You would be surprised how many times our customers request a specific delivery driver because they know the individual cares and works hard to provide great customer service." Building championship performance takes teamwork, Senter says. When he joined ABCO in 1992, building a great team with high-performing individuals was his very first goal. He notes that the average age of an ABCO employee in 1992 was 63 (he says that now, as a man of 55, he sees 63 as young and vital), but for the organization it meant that there were few younger team members and a lack of strong middle managers. That's when they began to build the team philosophy. "We urged everyone to measure their performance in terms of the organization's success, not in terms of any one person's achievements." It's an outlook that continues to this day. "As we expanded our vision of who we were, we also expanded our vision of what we do." Senter lists the "Five C's of Competitive Management" when he talks about achieving great teamwork: "Calm, Confident, Competent, Credible and Communication. That means calm and analytical to gain the knowledge and understanding of customers, confident in their (and the team's) abilities, competence through hard work and education, done credibly and with timely and accurate communications. For ABCO, it's about helping to create solutions rather than merely reacting to problems. Page 3 of 5 The teamwork approach really shines during difficult economic times, Senter notes. There are fewer opportunities to succeed during recessions. “With this in mind, we must be at our best whenever our customers need us,” he says. “The only way the distribution channel can achieve championship performance is through teamwork.” Face-to-face meetings with customers are the place to share ideas and develop an understanding of their needs and requirements. In the crowded and highly competitive Northeast market, ABCO relies on a strong marketing program to reflect these customer-focused values. “We want all of our printed materials and Internet communications to reflect this philosophy. We want our customers to feel dignified and respected when they read our printed and Internet materials or experience our advertisements,” Senter says. ABCO's product managers and sales account managers work closely with some of the very best advertising agencies in New York City to create materials that are accurate and detailed, yet tell a compelling story about ABCO and its varied strengths. An integral part of ABCO's marketing has been the company's alliance with the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. ABCO's marketing and product management team worked with its local advertising agency, GROK Advertising, and Luxaire brand managers at Johnson Controls to develop an ad campaign. In 2010, and again last summer, radio advertisements and outdoor advertising at metropolitan New York City commuter railroad stations created awareness of ABCO and Luxaire. Contractors were seen as important, thoughtful and charitable members of each community because Luxaire Heating and Air Conditioning supports the Make-A-Wish Foundation and helps to grant wishes like Austin's (a Make-A-Wish Foundation recipient). The motto of the campaign was, “See why | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/172 | {"url": "http://contractingbusiness.com/hvacrdb/abco-lesson-meeting-change-winning-plan", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "contractingbusiness.com", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:51:49Z", "digest": "sha1:AYJGFFQ6S3RFTZ2QLNVOLS2LLWLAPRM2"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 7927, 7927.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 7927, 8197.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 7927, 6.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 7927, 18.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 7927, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 7927, 273.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 7927, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 7927, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 7927, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 7927, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 7927, 0.36963921]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 7927, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 7927, 0.01293103]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 7927, 0.02940271]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 7927, 0.01293103]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 7927, 0.01293103]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 7927, 0.01293103]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 7927, 0.01293103]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 7927, 0.00461823]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 7927, 0.00492611]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 7927, 0.01154557]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 7927, 0.03335602]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 7927, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 7927, 0.15452689]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 7927, 0.43996711]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 7927, 5.34210526]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 7927, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 7927, 5.61485442]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 7927, 1216.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 74, 0.0], [74, 85, 0.0], [85, 169, 0.0], [169, 222, 0.0], [222, 252, 0.0], [252, 7927, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 74, 0.0], [74, 85, 0.0], [85, 169, 0.0], [169, 222, 0.0], [222, 252, 0.0], [252, 7927, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 74, 10.0], [74, 85, 2.0], [85, 169, 13.0], [169, 222, 10.0], [222, 252, 4.0], [252, 7927, 1177.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 74, 0.0], [74, 85, 0.0], [85, 169, 0.0], [169, 222, 0.0], [222, 252, 0.0], [252, 7927, 0.00709695]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 74, 0.0], [74, 85, 0.0], [85, 169, 0.0], [169, 222, 0.0], [222, 252, 0.0], [252, 7927, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 74, 0.10810811], [74, 85, 0.54545455], [85, 169, 0.23809524], [169, 222, 0.20754717], [222, 252, 0.4], [252, 7927, 0.03869707]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 7927, 0.68526769]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 7927, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 7927, 0.82684481]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 7927, -176.36450095]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 7927, 110.69021416]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 7927, -31.68124222]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 7927, 55.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |

Report Alleges US Role in Angola Arms-for-Oil Scandal
by Wayne Madsen, Special to CorpWatch
As the US Congress continues its investigation of the Enron affair, human rights advocates are calling for a probe of the Bush administration's possible role in another energy and influence-peddling scandal. According to a recent report by the British-based non-governmental organization Global Witness, Bush and US oil interests have ties to some of the key figures in the arms-for-oil scandal which has devastated Angola. Known as "Angolagate" in France, the scandal involves arms-for-oil deals between French businessman Pierre Falcone, the head of a firm called Brenco International; his colleague Jean-Christophe Mitterand, the son of the former French president; and a Russian-born Israeli named Arkadi Gaydamak.
According to "All the Presidents' Men," a March 25 report on Angolagate by Global Witness, Gaydamak funneled billions of dollars in arms and oil-backed loans to Angola's government in return for lucrative oil contracts with Western oil companies. Falcone and Gaydamak, relying on the special access that Mitterand had to the Angolan government, managed to transfer some $463 million in arms to Angola. The net effect of the Angolan arms buildup was the scrapping of the 1994 Lusaka Peace Agreement between Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos and long-time UNITA rebel leader Jonas Savimbi, a one-time favorite of the Central Intelligence Agency and a person who President Reagan once hailed as the "George Washington of Angola."
The newly-armed Angolan Army -- supported by an array of US-based private mercenary companies like MPRI and AirScan -- went on a bloody offensive against UNITA in 1998 and was eventually able to push Savimbi's rebels further into the jungles in the eastern part of the country. This compelled UNITA to mine and sell more diamonds on the black market to buy arms. The trade in "blood diamonds," in turn, led to a number of human rights abuses by UNITA. Ironically, Savimbi -- Reagan's George Washington of Africa -- was gunned down by Angolan Army troops in a remote area of Angola on February 22, the birthday of America's first president.
According to Global Witness, the links between Angola's corrupt government and the Bush administration are just as odorous as those linking Luanda's leadership to past and current members of the French government, both Socialist and Gaullist. In addition to the French oil giant Total-Fina-Elf, oil companies like Chevron, Texaco, Philipps Petroleum, Exxon Mobil, and BP-Amoco -- all with close links to Bush and his White House oil team -- were heavily involved in propping up dos Santos in return for profitable off-shore oil concessions. After transferring some $770 million in oil revenues to their own private bank accounts, dos Santos and his cronies became convinced that pluralism in their country would be a very dangerous thing for their future business deals. They also quickly abandoned their former Marxist beliefs in favor of the type of capitalist principles embraced by George W. Bush and Jacques Chirac.
There are similarities between dos Santos' new relationship with George W. Bush and the Bush family's historical ties to the House of Saud. Both represent the murky nature of oil politics that places US economic, national security, and human rights interests far behind the priority assigned to ensuring maximum corporate profits for a tight-knit and secretive international oil fraternity.
Just as Bush's past financial links to the Bin Laden family have been
exposed by the media, so too have his links to Angolagate and Falcone. Falcone's wife, Sonia, a former Miss Bolivia and a friend of First Lady Laura Bush, became a big-ticket contributor to Bush's 2000 election campaign. Contributions were made to the campaign through Sonia's Essanté Corporation, a distributor of health, beauty, and sexual pleasure products (such as a cream called Entisse that Essanté's web site says is guaranteed to duplicate the effects of Viagra).
In 2000, Esssanté, which is linked to Falcone's arms trafficking Brenco through the same corporate addresses and shareholding accounts in the United Kingdom and British Virgin Islands, respectively, gave the GOP and Bush campaign over $100,000. Sonia was also an early supporter of Bush. Federal Election Commission records reveal she was on board with a $1000 contribution to Bush's presidential exploratory committee on April 14, 1999. She also rubbed shoulders with George H. W. Bush at an October 6, 2000 fundraiser -- a Bush campaign event that netted $10,000 per person.
Only after Newsweek and The Arizona Republic published details of Falcone's international arms dealing involving Gaydamak was the money returned by the GOP to Essanté, and then only a few days prior to Bush's inauguration. The money, of course, was available to Bush all during the contested Florida election and the state and federal Supreme Court battles. The Republican National Committee said in a statement that the money was returned to "avoid the appearance of impropriety."
More noteworthy, just before Falcone was arrested in France in December 2000 (along with Mitterand's son), police discovered computer files that included a letter from Falcone inviting then-candidate Bush to meet with dos Santos at Falcone's Arizona Paradise Valley ranch. Although there is no record of such a meeting taking place, Bush did host dos Santos at the White House shortly after the killing of Savimbi. The timing of this meeting raises serious questions about the transfer of money to Bush's campaign coffers and its impact on changing the Republican Party's long-held policy of support for Savimbi.
It is also interesting that one of Bush's top Arizona campaign officials, State Senator Scott Bundgaard, arranged for Sonia Falcone to meet Bush at Phoenix Airport just after Essanté dropped one down payment of $20,000 into Bush's campaign chest. According to Global Witness, there is good reason to believe the donations to Bush were actually made by Pierre Falcone himself using "coded accounts" maintained at the UBS Bank in Switzerland, Bank Leumiin Tel Aviv, and Banque Rothschild in Monaco. The Cheney Connection The Global Witness report also reveals that French investigators discovered questionable links between the Angolan government and Vice President Dick Cheney's old firm Halliburton and its subsidiary Brown & Root. The investigators believe Halliburton's success in Angola is tied to Falcone's intercessions with Luanda: actions that would have directly benefited Cheney when he headed the firm between 1995 and 2000. According to an Associated Press report on October 26, 2000, the US Embassy in Luanda assisted Halliburton in securing a $68 million US Export-Import Bank loan for Angola in 1998, during the height of much of the arms running activity between dos Santos, Falcone and Gaydamak. The AP cited a cable from the US Embassy in Luanda to Secretary of State Madeleine Albright that states, "Our commercial officer literally camped out at the offices of the national oil company, petroleum ministry and central bank, unraveling snag after snag to obtain the transfer of funds . . . The bottom line: thousands of American jobs and a foot in the door for Halliburton to win even bigger contracts."
Cheney, a one-time supporter of UNITA, appears to have changed his mind
after the former CIA-backed guerrillas were deemed a threat to US oil interests. Savimbi, like Laurent Kabila and Joseph Mobutu of Congo, Panama's Manuel Noriega, and Iraq's Sadaam Hussein, became just another disposable CIA asset who outlived his usefulness.
Another Bush confidant who had a vested interest in propping up dos Santos is Bush National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice. A former Chevron director and, until recently, the namesake of a Chevron supertanker, the SS Condoleezza Rice (since renamed the SS Altair Voyager), Rice would have had good reason to see Angola stabilized under the dos Santos regime and permanently eliminate the UNITA threat to her old employer.
Perhaps the most ironic link described in the Global Witness report is one involving the former "fugitive financier" Marc Rich. He appears as a major player in the arms-for-oil scandal through a Swiss-based oil trading company named Glencore. The firm played a major role in guaranteeing a total of $1 billion in oil-backed loans for Angola in 1998. The first set of oil-backed loans in 1993 involved Glencore, Falcone, and Gaydamak. Soon after, Gaydamak arranged for the sale of Russian helicopters and ammunition through a Slovak company called ZTS-OSOS. The 1998 billion-dollar loan deal included the Export-Import Bank loans being pushed by Halliburton and Cheney. The GOP conveniently seized on President Clinton's pardon of Rich without describing the vice president's links to the fugitive financier's vast international money-lending and influence-peddling empire.
The ties of President Chirac's administration to Angolagate are as clear as those of other leading French politicians -- right and left, Socialist and Gaullist. What is not clear is what Chirac and President-elect Bush spoke about on December 18, 2000 in Washington, DC at the French Embassy in an unprecedented meeting between a president-elect and a foreign leader in a foreign diplomatic mission. Coming just four days after the Supreme Court handed the White House to Bush, the Bush-Chirac meeting took on an even greater aura of mystery.
Was it merely coincidental that Chirac was the first foreign leader to meet with America's dauphin, even prior to Bush's inauguration? Reportedly, a number of French prosecutors who investigated Angolagate would like to know the answer.
Hold the Phone There is yet another disturbing element involved in Bush's ties to dos
Santos. Global Witness reports that there was a secret agreement between the French firm Communications et Systémes, the French Defense Ministry, and dos Santos to acquire during 2000 two types of communications monitoring equipment suites to triangulate the location of Savimbi's GSM cell and satellite telephone calls in the Angolan bush. The two systems -- Murene (for GSM calls) and Menta (for satellite calls), were supposed to help dos Santos' forces locate Savimbi's constantly moving jungle headquarters. Apparently, the multimillion dollar systems were not all that helpful in locating Savimbi. However, legitimate questions exist about what U.S. official and unofficial intelligence resources were brought to bear on the recalcitrant ex-US. ally Savimbi. Under CIA Director George Tenet's new authority to eliminate terrorists listed in his "worldwide attack matrix," it is open season on anyone the U.S. brands a terrorist. According to US government sources, Savimbi was tracked by the military forces of U.S. NATO ally Portugal, who were aided by private mercenaries from Israel and South Africa. Jardo Muekalia, who headed UNITA's Washington office until it was forced to close in 1997, says that that the military forces that ultimately succeeded in assassinating Savimbi were supported by commercial satellite imagery and other intelligence support provided by Houston-based Brown & Root, Cheney's old outfit. Both the State Department and Pentagon vehemently deny any US government role in the killing of Savimbi. But the US frequently uses such intelligence wizardry to help track down troublesome leaders. In 1996, according to US and British intelligence sources, the NSA may have passed on location data to the Russians on the location of Chechen President Dzhokar Dudayev (he was struck by an air-to-surface missile while talking on his satellite phone). In 1999, the New York Times reported that Turkey captured Kurdish Workers' Party leader Abdallah Ocalan after his cell phone location data was tracked by U.S., British, and Israeli intelligence agents. It is not only Angola where the oil interests of Falcone and Bush
coincide. Falcone's Brenco also has significant interests in Colombia and Venezuela, two recent bastions of CIA and US paramilitary activity in support of US oil interests in the region. Gaydamak has also been involved in business with Falcone in Latin America since 1993.
Interestingly, although Interpol on January 11, 2001 issued an arrest warrant for Gaydamak, he continues to travel between Israel, the United Kingdom, and South America using his Israeli, Canadian, and Angolan passports, eluding police, and passing from capital to capital with the full support of the Israeli government. Falcone and Mitterand's son have already been arrested and released on bail in France. If the Bush administration is really interested in tracking down and bringing to justice people involved in funding terrorism, like that which has occurred for years in Angola, it might pressure Israel to end its diplomatic protection of Gaydamak and cooperate with Interpol in bringing him to justice. However, considering the fact that so many members of the Bush administration appear to have links to Angolagate, such a prospect appears bleak.
And what has continuation of warfare to the benefit of oil companies meant for Angola? The consequences are dire:
Angola is one of the poorest countries in the world.
Famine is increasing throughout the country with one child dying of malnutrition and associated diseases every three minutes.
Life expectancy is 45 years in a country that earned $5 billion in oil revenues in 2001.
The Angolan Civil War has resulted in the deaths of over half a million people and 3.1 people becoming refugees. Tens of thousands of children have been maimed by land mines. In any case, Bush's so-called "compassionate conservatism," has been a myth for the people of Angola and a windfall for oily business friends like the Falcones and Ken Lays of the world. The Bush administration does not appear to be bothered by the havoc being wrought by oil company cartels on the countries of Africa.

Corvette Racing Aims for Sixth GT1 Title in 24 Hours of Le Mans
Corvette Racing Faces Formidable Challenge in Classic Endurance Race
LE MANS, France � Corvette Racing is out for revenge. Competing in the world's greatest sports car race is
motivation enough, but the memory of last year's runner-up finish in the GT1 class still rankles. A freak driveshaft
failure sidelined the No. 64 Compuware Corvette C6.R at the two-hour mark, while a late-race deluge and an extended
safety car period stymied the No. 63 Compuware Corvette C6.R drivers' run for the top step of the podium. But that's
now ancient history, and the stage is set for the 76th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans on June 14-15.
Five times in the last seven years, Corvette Racing has won its class at Le Mans. To win a sixth GT1 title against
world-class rivals will require a flawless performance by America's premier production sports car racing team. With 10
entries in the GT1 class, the competition for the Le Mans prize is intense: Chevrolet's two-car factory team will face
four Aston Martin DBR9s (including a pair of factory-backed entries), a Saleen S7R, and a Lamborghini Murcielago for
class honors. But Corvette has strength in numbers as well, with Luc Alphand Aventures' two privateer Corvette C6.Rs
also carrying the bow tie banner into battle.
"I'm ready to go and bring our Corvette into the winner's circle," said Max Papis, who joins American Le
Mans Series champions Oliver Gavin and Olivier Beretta in the No. 64 Corvette C6.R for this long-distance event.
"Between Daytona and Le Mans, this will be my 20th 24-hour race. I would have never thought in 1996 that I would
reach that mark. It means a lot, and I hope it means we get a good result, especially after the disappointment of last
The logistics of racing in Le Mans are daunting for an American team. Every nut, bolt, fitting and spare part must
be transported across the Atlantic. Corvette Racing's first shipment was dispatched via ocean freighter to England in
late April - a 76,500-pound 18-wheeler filled with equipment and supplies. A second shipment was airlifted to Europe in
May following an ALMS race in Salt Lake City. This precious cargo included the two Corvette C6.R race cars and 13,500
pounds of toolboxes, spare bodywork, and other supplies. But without skillful and dedicated people, all of this
hardware is useless. Corvette Racing's team roster in Le Mans totals 48, including mechanics, engineers, technicians,
support personnel, a medical team, and a chef.
Many of the team members have been in France since late May, adjusting to the time change and the European culture.
Their only opportunity to test on the immense 8.48-mile track, which includes public roads and highways, was a rainy
day on June 1. Dodging intermittent showers, the two Corvettes completed 81 laps and gathered valuable information for
the upcoming race.
"With the limited running time that we had, I think the team really maximized its results," commented
Corvette Racing program manager Doug Fehan. "We were able to obtain excellent data on the aerodynamics, the
gearboxes and the power delivery. Corvette Racing has worked very hard and we're very well prepared. We wouldn't come
to Le Mans if we didn�t think we could win."
The circuit layout is the same as last year, yet there are subtle differences. "Coming out of the Dunlop and
Ford chicanes, the organizers have pushed the gravel back so if someone does go off, they won't drag gravel onto the
racing line," noted Oliver Gavin. "The gravel is very sharp, so that's an improvement that should reduce the
number of tire punctures."
Danish ace Jan Magnussen agreed: "There weren't any pylons in the chicanes on the test day, but the curbs are
higher and they have rumble strips on the inside. They look pretty mean, so it's a matter of how much you're willing to
risk to go over them."
Official practice and qualifying for the world's most prestigious sports car race will take place from 7 p.m. to
midnight on June 11 and 12. The 24 Hours of Le Mans will start at 3 p.m. local time (9 a.m. EDT) on Saturday, June 14
and finish at 3 p.m. (9 a.m. EDT) on Sunday, June 15. SPEED will televise the start of the race live on June 14 from
8:30 a.m. EDT to 12 p.m. EDT, and the finish from 9 p.m. EDT on June 14 to 9:30 a.m. EDT on June 15.

Islamar Villas | Cozumel Reef Map | Island & Reef Maps | Weather/Dive Conditions Scuba Diving | Scuba/Snorkeling Alternatives | Snorkeling | D.I.Y. Snorkel Tour Travel Tip 4 � Explore Cozumel�s Underwater World
C.J. Gustafson, Freelance Writer and Photographer
I have a friend who says that Cozumel is just like many other Caribbean destinations except for the snorkeling and diving. I disagree strongly. Cozumel has a unique blend of rustic fishing village, Mexican identity with strong Mayan influences, and a Caribbean setting to add some spice. You don't find that combination many other places, and the result is a comfortable and safe island with people who welcome visitors and approach life as an experience to be enjoyed and savored. But I do agree with my friend's view that if you come to Cozumel, you must explore the amazing underwater world. I'm sure you've heard it before - Cozumel is home to the world's second largest barrier reef, with beautiful coral and a host of spectacular creatures. Once you slip on that mask and get below the surface of the water, you become part of this exciting world of fish, turtles, seahorses, rays, and all the other animal life that lives in the turquoise waters. Not only that, the water clarity is remarkable, so you get a really good view of all of these wonders, even while floating on the surface 20 feet above. And this underwater world is available to visitors regardless of their budgets since some of the best snorkeling on the island can be found right in front of the hotels or at public beaches. Snorkeling Snorkeling requires very little practice. Many people are swimming around like pros after just a few minutes. The key is to get good equipment that fits correctly and doesn't leak. If you feel nervous about how you will react in the ocean, practice in the pool at first or simply stand waist deep in the ocean and stick your head under the water while you get used to breathing through the tube. I have found that flippers really help you move through the water easier and keep you from tiring out as quickly. Diving
Diving in Cozumel is almost as easy. Because of the excellent conditions and places to dive, some of the best in the world are here to help you learn. You can be diving under the supervision of a dive master the same day that you receive your instruction. When picking a dive outfit, talk to experienced divers and go with those that are highly recommended. Cheaper is not always better when it comes to diving services and safety. For those who want something in between, snuba provides the ability to go up to 20 feet below the surface, without the more involved training and equipment needed for diving. Friendly Fish Does the idea of swimming in the ocean with all the critters make you nervous? There are very few creatures in the waters of Cozumel that will attack you without provocation. While the schools of smaller fish will come close to you and even swim right with you, they will not bite you, and in fact, it would be difficult to touch one if you tried. Even the larger fish would rather avoid you. A barracuda may look ferocious, and their curiosity might make them approach you for a closer look, but you are not his idea of dinner. (Read about my Barracuda Adventure.) Just can't bring yourself to get in the water? At the very least, take a tour in a glass bottom boat. With the wonderful water clarity, you will be able to see many of the same things as those who are in the water. With all the different ways to explore Cozumel's underwater world, you should find something that fits your budget and comfort level. Don't let fear of the unknown keep you from experiencing this underwater world that truly is one of the most unforgettable aspects of the island. In my opinion, snorkeling and diving aren't the only reasons to come to Cozumel, but they are certainly something you don't want to miss.

Shaw Cablesystems Ltd. – Application to review and vary Telecom Decision 2009-462 concerning the reimbursement of costs associated with relocating transmission facilities
File number: 8662-S9-201000802
In this decision, the Commission denies an application by Shaw Cablesystems Ltd. (Shaw) to modify the Commission’s determinations in Telecom Decision 2009-462 regarding the reimbursement by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure of British Columbia of Shaw’s costs of relocating its transmission facilities, whether those facilities are attached to Shaw’s own support structures or to the support structures of third parties.
Introduction 1. The Commission received an application by Shaw Cablesystems Ltd. (Shaw), dated 22 January 2010, requesting that the Commission review and vary its determinations in Telecom Decision 2009-462. In that decision, the Commission, among other things, refrained from directing the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure of British Columbia (the Ministry) to reimburse Shaw for the costs of relocating its transmission facilities that are attached to the support structures of third parties, on the basis of its finding that the dispute did not engage the Commission’s jurisdiction under subsection 43(4) of the Telecommunications Act (the Act).
2. Shaw submitted that there was substantial doubt as to the correctness of the decision, arguing that the Commission had erred in law and in fact in concluding that it does not have jurisdiction under subsection 43(4) of the Act to order the Ministry to reimburse Shaw for costs incurred as a result of Ministry-initiated relocation of transmission lines placed on third-party support structures.
3. Shaw further submitted that the Commission had failed to consider a basic principle from Order 2000-13 that had been raised in the proceeding leading to Telecom Decision 2009-462, namely that support structure licensees should pursue compensation for relocation expenses directly with the third party requesting the relocation.
4. As such, the company requested that the Commission vary its determination in Telecom Decision 2009-462 that the company’s original application did not engage the Commission’s jurisdiction under subsection 43(4) of the Act. Shaw also requested that the Commission vary that decision by directing the Ministry to reimburse the company for the costs of relocating its transmission facilities at the request of the Ministry, whether these facilities are located on Shaw’s own support structures or attached to the support structures of third parties, on terms and conditions that are consistent with Decision 2001-23.
5. The Commission received comments regarding Shaw’s application from the Ministry. The public record of this proceeding, which closed on 1 March 2010, is available on the Commission’s website at www.crtc.gc.ca under “Public Proceedings” or by using the file number provided above.
6. The Commission has identified the following issues to be addressed in this decision:
I. Did the Commission err in Telecom Decision 2009-462 when it concluded that Shaw’s application did not engage the Commission’s jurisdiction under subsection 43(4) of the Act?
II. Did the Commission err in Telecom Decision 2009-462 by not addressing the principle set out in Order 2000-13 that support structure licensees should pursue compensation for relocation expenses directly with the third party requesting relocation?
7. Shaw submitted that the Commission’s interpretation of its jurisdiction was unduly narrow and created uncertainty. Shaw argued that the Commission’s jurisdiction was engaged by the company’s application on the basis that its inability to obtain the Ministry’s consent to keep transmission lines in place on terms and conditions acceptable to Shaw was the type of situation captured by subsection 43(4) of the Act. In Shaw’s view, the terms and conditions for access to power poles by utilities set out in the Ministry’s public utility manual apply to it as it is a “utility” as defined therein. Shaw also argued that the suggestion that it is entitled under the Act to seek compensation from the Ministry for the relocation costs of only some of its transmission facilities, based on the ownership of the underlying support structure, is arbitrary.
8. The Commission notes that the Ministry does not require Shaw to obtain its consent in any form, whether by permit or otherwise, to install its facilities on support structures of third parties nor does the Ministry impose any terms or fees on Shaw as a condition of gaining access to the support structures of third parties.
9. In light of the above, the Commission considers that there is no issue of consent to engage subsection 43(4) of the Act. The Commission therefore finds that it did not err when it concluded in Telecom Decision 2009-462 that Shaw’s application did not engage the Commission’s jurisdiction under subsection 43(4) of the Act.
10. As noted above, Shaw submitted that the Commission had erred in Telecom Decision 2009-462 by not considering a basic principle set out in Order 2000-13, namely that support structure licensees should pursue compensation for relocation expenses directly with the third party requesting relocation. Shaw submitted that the Commission’s failure to address this principle in Telecom Decision 2009-462 raises substantial doubt as to the correctness of that decision.
11. The Commission notes that it was not necessary to address the applicability of the principle set out in Order 2000-13 in the context of Shaw’s access to third-parties’ support structures as the Commission found that it did not have jurisdiction to address Shaw’s reimbursement for the cost of relocating its transmission facilities on third‑parties’ support structures.
12. With respect to the reimbursement for the costs of relocating Shaw’s transmission facilities that are attached to the company’s own support structures, the Commission notes that it was not necessary to address explicitly the applicability of the principle set out in Order 2000-13, given that the Ministry had indicated it was willing to negotiate an agreement with Shaw.
13. In light of the above, the Commission finds that it did not err in Telecom Decision 2009-462 by not addressing the principle set out in Order 2000-13 that support structure licensees should pursue compensation for relocation expenses directly with the third party requesting relocation.
14. In light of the above, the Commission finds that it did not err in law or in fact, and finds that Shaw did not raise substantial doubt as to the correctness of the Commission’s determinations in Telecom Decision 2009-462. Accordingly, the Commission denies Shaw’s application.

Mr. President, the record shows that most OSCE states have made progress—some very significant progress—in combating the scourge of human trafficking. Prosecution and conviction of traffickers has increased as has victim identification. Still, we need to do more to rescue and more tangibly assist victims—especially women and children. Part of my supplemental item, approved by the General Committee on Democracy, Human Rights and Humanitarian Questions, calls on States to encourage airlines—including and especially flight attendants—to be trained to detect trafficking victims in-flight and inform law enforcement prior to landing. This best practice is taking off-- the “Airline Partners Against Human Trafficking” program by Airline Ambassadors is being adopted by major U.S. airlines and will rescue many women and children. This must be replicated in all of our participating States. Second, maternal mortality can and must be reduced by expanding emergency obstetrical care with an emphasis on skilled birth attendants to perform cesarean sections and equipped with medicines to stop hemorrhaging as well as safe blood and antibiotics to save women’s lives. Mr. President, maternal care and prenatal care are closely linked and we must care and show compassion for both mother and unborn child. I am greatly encouraged that the Committee adopted my amendment calling on States to recognize and support the enormous opportunities available today to diagnose and treat an ever-growing number of diseases and disabilities in unborn children—diseases and disabilities that can be cured or mitigated by timely intervention. When sick, the unborn child, like every other child, is a medical patient, in need of a blood transfusion, medicines that cure and even microsurgery. Wellness begins in the womb. The healthier the unborn child, the healthier the 1, 2, 5 and 10 year old. Thank you.

LAWMAKERS DIVE INTO SENSITIVE CHINA, RUSSIA ISSUES
September 27, 2010 - The World from The Hill: Lawmakers dive into sensitive China, Russia issues
By Bridget Johnson || The Hill | Link
Lawmakers in the House pushed forward last week on legislation to pressure China to raise the value of its currency, while this week legislators will highlight the case of a Russian oil tycoon believed by many to be in prison solely for his vocal opposition to the Kremlin. Both are sensitive foreign policy areas that the White House may well wish Congress would avoid. House Democrats last week advanced a bill meant to impose tariffs against Chinese goods due to the undervaluation of the yuan. Legislation put forward by Reps. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) and Tim Murphy (R-Pa.) was pushed through Ways and Means on voice vote Friday, with tweaks made to not violate international trade rules. Fearing rankled relations with China, the Obama administration had urged lawmakers to lay off while urging Beijing to enact currency reforms. But the administration in recent weeks has shown signs it is growing impatient with China, with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner vowing to bring up the issue at the Nov. 11-12 G-20 summit in South Korea. "For years, the Bush Administration, the Obama Administration, and Members of Congress have tried to persuade the Chinese government to allow its currency to respond to market forces. No significant progress has been made," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a statement Wednesday. "It is time for Congress to pass legislation that will give the Administration leverage in its bilateral and multilateral negotiations with the Chinese government – so that U.S. businesses and workers have a more level playing field in world trade." In Thursday's White House press briefing, presidential assistant and Asian affairs director Jeff Bader said that whereas currency discussions usually comprise a quarter of the meeting time between President Obama and Chinese leaders, the issue dominated "most of the meeting" at the United Nations on Thursday between Obama and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao. "The president made no commitment to Premier Wen about this legislation," Bader told reporters, adding that the administration would not take a position on the bill. "I don’t recall that this specific bill was brought up, although there was discussion about the attitude of the Congress. And Premier Wen clearly is well aware of that." The House will vote on the China bill next week, though it is unclear whether the Senate will act next week or in a lame-duck session. One factor may be whether China allows its currency to appreciate between now and the lame-duck session. And this week, lawmakers will shine a light on a case that Russia doesn't want to be cast as a case of political persecution. The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, upon learning that lawyers of an imprisoned Russian entrepreneur would be in Washington, scheduled a briefing for Wednesday to discuss the case of Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Khodorkovsky became the richest man in Russia as he led the oil giant Yukos after the fall of the Soviet Union. A vocal critic of then-President Vladimir Putin, he was imprisoned in 2005 on fraud charges. When he was eligible for parole, Russian prosecutors levied fresh embezzlement and money laundering charges against him that could net an additional 22 years behind bars. Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.), chairman of the Helsinki Commission, told The Hill that the briefing is intended to bring attention to the "unacceptable type of treatment he has received" -- and put other nations on notice against "using the criminal justice system for political ends." "If it goes unchallenged, it becomes the norm," Cardin said. Cardin co-sponsored a sense of the Senate resolution, now stuck in the Foreign Relations Committee, with Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) in June 2009 that brands the Khodorkovsky case "a politically-motivated case of selective arrest and prosecution that serves as a test of the rule of law and independence of the judicial system of Russia." A sister resolution introduced by Rep. James McGovern (D-Mass.) similarly sits in the House Foreign Affairs Committee, co-sponsored by Reps. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.), Robert Wexler (D-Fla.) and Frank Wolf (R-Va.). On June 21, Cardin and Wicker, both members of the Foreign Relations panel, engaged in a colloquy on the Senate floor to draw attention to the Khodorkovsky case. "I cannot speak for the leadership of the Senate as to why it hasn't been brought up," Wicker said of their 2009 resolution. The senator, who told The Hill that he's long been interested in Russia issues, said he is "very disappointed in recent years with the Putin regime and it seems clear to me that the international community recognizes this also." "They're inching back toward the dictatorship that they had under communism," he said. "Khodorkovsky's offense for which he is being imprisoned is having the temerity to speak out against the Russian regime and their serious backsliding on areas such as democracy, freedom of speech and the rule of law." The Kremlin certainly disagrees, and the congressional attention won't make Russia happy with relations between the federation and the U.S. at a sensitive point. Russia denies any political motivation in the case while making clear it doesn't want foreign interference in the matter. Putin vowed this month not to interfere with the latest trial while simultaneously accusing Khodorkovsky of having "blood on his hands." Cardin said Putin could step in to stop what the Helsinki Commission calls "legal hooliganism." "They can do something about it," he said. "We are asking Putin and others to take action in this case." From behind bars, Khodorkovsky continues to write about what he sees as the crumbling of democracy and the rule of law in Russia and has urged world leaders to re-examine relations with the country. Writing in the Observer last weekend, Khodorkovsky, who pointedly referred to himself as a "political prisoner," urged British Prime Minister David Cameron to put human rights first in efforts to restore relations with the Kremlin -- which have been sullied the past few years after the London murder of spy-turned-Putin critic Alexander Litvinenko -- and help Russians "who are searching for a way out of the darkness of totalitarianism into the light of freedom." Back in 2005, then-Sen. Obama, along with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), co-sponsored a sense of the Senate introduced by then-Sen. Biden that said Khodorkovsky did not received a fair trial, that the charges were politically motivated and that "the judiciary of Russia is an instrument of the Kremlin." After becoming president and declaring the reset button with Russia hit, Obama has spoken carefully on the Khodorkovsky case. "It does seem odd to me that these new charges, which appear to be a repackaging of the old charges, should be surfacing now," he said on a visit to Moscow in July 2009. Obama said it would be improper to interfere in Russia's legal process and praised President Dmitry Medvedev's "courageous initiative" to strengthen the rule of law. Wicker said he knows that the case remains among the State Department's many concerns. "The administration is well aware of the disturbing trend we've seen in Russia's cavalier attitude toward the rule of law," he said. Cardin said he's not sure what priority the case takes on the administration's agenda. There are definite foreign policy priorities on the table for Obama. He wants passage of the START arms reduction treaty, which made it out of Senate Foreign Relations this month. And cooperation is sought when it comes to reining in Iran. The administration praised Moscow on Thursday for complying with international sanctions and freezing a plan to sell Iran a series of long-range surface-to-air missiles. “This continues to demonstrate how Russia and the United States are cooperating closely on behalf of our mutual interests, and global security,” the White House said in a statement. However, the Kremlin quickly stressed that this doesn't end their military cooperation with the Islamic Republic. And many on Capitol Hill are intent on telling Russia it needs to cooperate more on democracy and human rights concerns. "I don't think that one commission briefing is going to completely reverse the injustice to Mr. Khodorkovsky, but the greater attention that can be put on this, the greater the pressure on Russia and others who need to reform their judicial systems," Helsinki Commission spokesman Neil Simon told The Hill. | 2014-15/0000/en_head.json.gz/179 | {"url": "http://csce.gov/index.cfm?FuseAction=InNews.View&InTheNews_id=7480f2d5-d538-4d7e-94a6-206d0f7ccf9a&CFID=9685313&CFTOKEN=72061642", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "csce.gov", "date_download": "2014-04-16T07:44:32Z", "digest": "sha1:Y2V5YNNEPNVSIGWREE6FZG6VHAABTKZ5"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 8626, 8626.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 8626, 8989.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 8626, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 8626, 13.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 8626, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 8626, 211.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 8626, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 8626, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 8626, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 8626, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 8626, 0.39483173]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 8626, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 8626, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 8626, 0.02468073]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 8626, 0.02037595]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 8626, 0.01234036]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 8626, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 8626, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 8626, 0.01219687]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 8626, 0.00645717]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 8626, 0.00860956]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 8626, 0.01802885]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 8626, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 8626, 0.14182692]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 8626, 0.42569993]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 8626, 5.0028715]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 8626, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 8626, 5.59627345]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 8626, 1393.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 148, 0.0], [148, 186, 0.0], [186, 8626, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 148, 0.0], [148, 186, 0.0], [186, 8626, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 51, 7.0], [51, 148, 15.0], [148, 186, 6.0], [186, 8626, 1365.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 148, 0.06593407], [148, 186, 0.0], [186, 8626, 0.00366479]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 51, 0.0], [51, 148, 0.0], [148, 186, 0.0], [186, 8626, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 51, 0.84313725], [51, 148, 0.08247423], [148, 186, 0.15789474], [186, 8626, 0.03447867]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 8626, 0.96061063]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 8626, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 8626, 0.95234925]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 8626, 14.2592001]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 8626, 273.73588342]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 8626, 5.52252683]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 8626, 75.0]], "is_duplicate": true} |
Ted Turner's son says Jane Fonda made dad a liberal
Teddy Turner, son of billionaire media mogul Ted Turner and Republican candidate for Congress, said his father’s marriage to Jane Fonda prompted his major left turn.
“I was raised in a different time at the Turner household … a very conservative household with capitalism and all of that kind of stuff,” the younger Turner told Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show.”
Teddy Turner is running for Congress in South Carolina, where he faces former Gov. Mark Sanford in a Republican primary. His platform includes opposition to taxes and same-sex marriage and he is a global warming skeptic – all positions his father does not share.
“Yes, I’m Teddy Turner,” he said at a recent Republican gathering. “You can’t pick your parents.”
Ted Turner, who founded CNN and once owned the Atlanta Braves, married Fonda in 1991. The actress and workout guru, dubbed ‘Hanoi Jane’ for posing with a Viet Cong anti-aircraft gun in a misguided protest against the Vietnam War, apparently had an influence that outlasted their marriage.
“He started becoming more and more environmentalist and then Jane helped move things over as well," Turner told Malzberg. “Then when you start hanging around and everybody you’re hanging around with is liberal, then you tend to move more liberal.’’
In a recent interview with Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, Turner quipped that his jet-setting father, one of the biggest landowners in the U.S., figures “he owns a lot of trees so his carbon footprint is pretty limited.”
Despite their political differences, the father and son are close. Teddy Turner told Politico that after his appearance with O’Reilly, he got the following note from his father: “I saw your interview with Bill O’Reilly on Fox,” it read, “and I thought you did a great job! I’m really proud of you, and I hope you win. Best of luck. Love, Dad.”
Teddy Turner, a 49-year-old high school teacher, said he – not his father – has always been consistent in his political orientation.
“I’m not a liberal,” he said. “People say how did you separate from your dad? I didn’t separate from my dad. My dad separated from me.”

6 dec 2012 to 8 dec 2012Symposium on Internet-Driven Developments: Structural Changes and Tipping PointsTowards a Global Network of Internet and Society Centers
Together with seven international co-hosts, on December 6-8, 2012, the Berkman Center for Internet & Society convened an international Symposium on Internet-Driven Developments: Structural Changes and Tipping Points (SCTP). The gathering brought together representatives from Internet and society research centers located in 22 countries across 5 continents. This highly collaborative and participatory event marked the launch of a nascent global network of interdisciplinary centers with a focus on Internet and society. In addition to encouraging participants to build on past cooperative efforts and expand existing partnerships, the December 2012 gathering yielded a number of ideas for next steps and collaborative projects that
are summarized in the final report. Harvard Law School has also published information about this exciting event. Moving forward, the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet & Society in Berlin has kindly agreed to work closely with the Berkman team and the other co-hosts to facilitate the next round of conversations and work hand-in-hand with participants to advance ideas surfaced at the SCTP Symposium. The ongoing dialogue, which will involve
additional organizations, will focus on both specific activities for organizations within the network and the global vision for the network as a whole.

The Swine Flu (Frequently Asked Questions)
The outbreak of a new form of swine flu has prompted the United States and the World Health Organization to declare a public health emergency. President Obama has called the emergency a "precautionary tool," since so far the outbreak has had only limited impact in the United States. But public health officials are scrambling to determine the extent of the outbreak.This outbreak could peter out, like a 1976 swine flu outbreak did. Or the virus could spread easily from one person to the next, sparking a pandemic in which millions of people are infected. Richard Besser, the acting CDC director, says it's too early to say if we'll see more severe disease here in the United States. "Viruses are unpredictable and variable over time," he said yesterday. "What we say and what we learn will change."Here's the rundown on what we know so far, as well as the options for avoiding swine flu and for treating it if you get it.How is swine flu different than seasonal influenza and bird flu?This is a new flu bug that includes genetic segments from human, swine, and avian flu viruses. It is an influenza A H1N1 strain, named for two proteins in the bug's protein coat. H1N1 viruses often circulate without causing major outbreaks. But since this flu virus is new, people might not have immunity to it. That's why the global public health system is on alert. No one knows where this outbreak might lead.What symptoms would tell me I have swine flu? Swine flu symptoms are similar to the symptoms of regular seasonal flu, according to the CDC. Those include:-Fever-Lethargy-Lack of appetite-CoughingSome people with swine flu have also reported runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.How can I tell if someone sitting next to me has swine flu? You can't. If someone is showing the symptoms described above, it couldn't hurt to keep your distance. Jeff Duchin, chief of the communicable disease section at Public Health Seattle, says it's best to say 6 feet away from someone who has the flu because the virus spreads in droplets when people talk, cough, or sneeze. Of course, your neighbor might just have a stuffy nose caused by a mild cold or seasonal allergies.Should I be wearing a face mask, like they're wearing in Mexico? Not unless you're taking care of a person who's sick with swine flu or are sick yourself. Wearing masks is a popular reaction to respiratory outbreaks in parts of the world, but it's not a step that the U.S. government has recommended for the current outbreak. The CDC has an online guide to using masks and respirators to prevent flu transmission.Is there a vaccine available for this new swine flu? No. Developing and producing a vaccine matched to this flu virus will take several months. Anne Schuchat, director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, said yesterday that a swine flu vaccine could be added to the seasonal flu vaccine now being produced for next fall, either as a replacement for one of the three strains in that vaccine or as an addition that makes it a four-strain vaccine.What's the best way to avoid getting exposed to the swine flu virus? For now, avoid people who are coughing or sick. The CDC also recommends hand washing to reduce the risk of flu. Though frequent hand washing hasn't specifically been proved to protect against swine flu, it does reduce the risk of respiratory infections generally.What other things can I do to get my family prepared? It never hurts to think about what you would do if swine flu hits your community hard, the CDC's Besser says. That may mean that schools would be closed, as has been done in Mexico. The federal government's pandemic flu website has suggestions on getting ready at home and at work. One example: Do you have enough food in the house to feed your family if you had to stay home for a week? You can also check with your employer to make sure the company has a plan in case of a flu pandemic. And you can prepare yourself for the possibility you'd have to work from home for a while.Is it dangerous to eat pork?No. This flu virus is spread from person to person by touching surfaces infected with the virus or by inhaling viruses from someone coughing. You can't get swine flu from eating pork.What should I do if I or someone in my family is sick?"Calling the doctor is never the wrong thing to do," says Mark Metursky, a professor of medicine at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine and immediate past chair of the chest infection network for the American College of Chest Physicians. You'll know you have the flu and not just a cold if you've got a fever of 102 or more, a headache, and muscle aches."If you have a respiratory infection with fever, don't go to work or school," says Duchin. To minimize the risk of infecting others, avoid traveling by air and taking public transportation if you have the flu.People aren't at risk of swine flu for now, Metursky says, unless they have traveled to Mexico of are exposed to someone who has.What medications work against swine flu? Laboratory tests suggest this swine flu is susceptible to the antiviral drugs Tamiflu (oseltamivir) and Relenza (zanamivir). To be effective, these drugs need to be taken as soon as possible after a person has flu symptoms. "The sooner you talk to your doctor the better," Metursky says. The CDC has new recommendations for using antivirals to treat swine flu; people who are sick and have recently been to Mexico or who have been exposed to people with swine flu should speak with a doctor about whether to take an antiviral medication.Should I stockpile Tamiflu? The federal government doesn't recommend that people stockpile Tamiflu at home, saying it should be saved for people who are sick with influenza now. But many public health scientists have set aside some Tamiflu for themselves in the past few years because of concern about the possibility of a pandemic caused by bird flu. It's your call.I'm not sick. Should I avoid traveling?This might not be the wisest time to vacation in Cancun, but travel hasn't been banned by the CDC and WHO, so it's up to you. Airlines will let passengers to certain destinations re-book their trips at no cost. Check the CDC or WHO website before traveling, because the advisories could change at any time.Why has the swine flu been deadly in Mexico but not in the U.S.?No one knows for sure. It could be that Americans who've gotten infected had better, faster access to health care. Or it could be that the U.S. is just at an earlier stage in the outbreak, Duchin says. If that's the case, U.S. deaths could occur as the outbreak matures.Where do I look for more news on swine flu? The CDC's new swine flu website is a good place to start, for information both on the state of the outbreak and on how to keep your family healthy.source: US News by Nancy Shute

DASIDigital Archive for the Study of pre-Islamic Arabian InscriptionsDASI is a five-year project directed by prof. Alessandra Avanzini of the University of Pisa, which has been funded by the European Community within the Seventh Framework Programme “Ideas”, Specific Programme “ERC – Advanced Grant”. DASI seeks to gather all known pre-Islamic Arabian epigraphic material into a comprehensive online database, with the aim to make available to specialists and to the broader public a wide array of documents often underestimated because of their difficulty of access. By means of a digitization process through a hybrid data entry/xml system developed by the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa according to international encoding standards, DASI gives access at present to the nearly 6,000 Ancient South Arabian inscriptions recorded by the University of Pisa team under the direction of Prof. Alessandra Avanzini. Thanks to the fruitful collaboration with other two major European centres for the study of the epigraphic documentation of the Arabian Peninsula, also sections of the two corpora of Ancient North Arabian inscriptions (supervision by Mr. M.C.A. Macdonald, University of Oxford) and Aramaic inscriptions (supervision by Dr. Laila Nehmé, UMR 8167, CNRS-Paris) are being prepared for consultation.
Project details »
Corpus of South Arabian Inscriptions
The ASA corpus is one of the most interesting collections of epigraphic documents of the Semitic world, first and foremost for its vastness. With its over 15,000 inscriptions, it is the first-hand, written documentation of the culture that flourished in South Arabia from the late second millennium BC to the sixth century AD. At present, CSAI contains a collection of some 6,000 texts digitized by the team of the University of Pisa directed by prof. Alessandra Avanzini.

Online Corpus of the Inscriptions of Ancient North Arabia
The Online Corpus of the Inscriptions of Ancient North Arabia (OCIANA) is a project of the Khalili Research Centre of the University of Oxford, directed by Prof. J. Johns and Mr. M.C.A. Macdonald. It aims to present an easily updatable, online edition of all known Ancient North Arabian inscriptions: Taymanitic, Dadanitic, Hasaitic, Safaitic, Hismaic and Thamudic. go to project
Corpus of Aramaic Inscriptions
The Corpus of Aramaic inscription on DASI will comprehend the Nabataean inscriptions. This task will be accomplished thanks to the agreement with the CNRS laboratory UMR 8167 – Mondes Sémitiques, under the scientific supervision of Dr. Laila Nehmé. For the moment, the corpus contains no data.

Story and Photos by LOUISE R. SHAWClipper Staff WriterBOUNTIFUL — Under one tree in Bountiful City Park, families were learning about the trials of the early Jamestown settlers. Under another, they were taking the oath of citizenship.In one spot, students were told about what it was like to try to get into America through Ellis Island.Nearby, a Thomas Jefferson’s look-alike was teaching about the Declaration of Independence.It was all part of Constitution Days, an annual educational event held at the park to celebrate the ratification of the United States Constitution on Sept. 17, 1787.Brothers Josh and Dallin Christensen studied the experiences of the sons of Abraham Clark, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence whose sons were captured by the British.Josh Christensen said his study of one of the country’s founders taught him how extremely hard the battle for independence was.“It is impressive to me,” he said. “I was inspired.”The Padilla family wandered through a sea of U.S. flags, reading and committing to responsibilities of citizenship. Col. Jack Tueller held a young crowd’s attention as he told about flying missions in several wars, being the sole survivor of 12 planes that flew to battle in World War II.“Love your country,” he told the listeners. “Be willing to die for it.”He advised them not to get angry, to start every day thinking the glass is half full and to not be afraid to cry.George “Lanny” Landrith taught the difference between saying something and declaring it.“To declare is to say something strongly,” he said. “When we’re talking about freedom ... it’s not a statement, it’s a declaration. When we do fireworks on the Fourth of July, we’re not saying we’re free, we’re declaring we’re free.”lshaw@davisclipper.com

Chamber: Success of county relies on education
By LOUISE R. SHAW
Jan 12, 2013 | 503 views | 0 | 5 | | BY LOUISE R. SHAW Clipper Staff Writer FARMINGTON С In a nod to the value of education, the Davis Chamber of Commerce will present its annual Legacy Award to Davis School District at the chamber’s annual banquet on Friday, Jan. 18. “One of the first questions businesses ask when they look to locate in Davis County, is what are the schools like,” said Chris Williams, community relations director for Davis School District. “We know that the success of the county relies heavily on an educated workforce.” The Legacy Award, the top award presented by the chamber, is designed to recognize individuals or institutions that demonstrate “a significant positive impact on the county, sustained over the years,” according to a press release from the chamber. “Our chamber has a keen focus on education as a primary driver of economic growth in Davis County,” said Jim Smith, Davis Chamber president, in the release. “The fact that the Davis School District recently celebrated their 100th anniversary shows that their economic impact has been ‘sustained for years.’” Davis School District is the second largest employer in the county, according to Williams. The district has 5,968 full-time equivalent positions filled. The staff works to educate this year’s 68,342 students. Positions include teachers, administrators, assistants, custodial staff, specialists, counselors, bus drivers and support staff. The budget passed by the Davis School Board for this year’s operations was about $525 million, said Williams. A large portion of the budget is dedicated to personnel. In addition, the district manages $575 million in capital assets such as buildings, furniture and vehicles. Only Hill Air Force Base employs more people in Davis County and in Utah, only Alpine School District is larger than Davis School District. “To be honored by the business community Р especially by an organization like the Davis Chamber of Commerce Р is beyond words,” said Dr. Bryan Bowles, superintendent of Davis School District, as quoted in the release. “I believe we are successful, in part, because of the support that businesses and parents give to their students and to our educators. The district couldn’t be recognized with the chamber’s Legacy Award without the symbiotic relationship that has been built Р for more than 100 years Р with parents, students, businesses and the residents of Davis County.” Williams said it is impossible to calculate how many tens of thousands Р or perhaps hundreds of thousands Р have been educated by the district in its 100 years. “You need to have employees who are well trained, and if those employees haven’t received that foundation at the K-12 level, they certainly can’t move on to places like DATC and Weber State and other schools and get the education that’s needed,” said Williams. “We in the county like to work together, whether with charter schools, DATC or Weber State, and try to have a pipeline that’s seamless so that it doesn’t matter where that student is in the system, we’re hoping that student can be as successful as possible so they can be a contributing member of the community and have a great job that supports a family. It’s a goal that everyone would love to meet.” The awards banquet will be held at the Davis Conference Center and include awards in a variety of categories to other Davis County businesses. The event is open to the public, but reservations are required.

AUDIO: ‘Addressing Extremism’
Today’s sermon, given at the Muslim Unity Center in West Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, refutes those who state that it is acceptable to go into mosques and kill innocent Muslims and those who try to rile up new and young American Muslims to commit treason by attacking American troops and civilians.

The year in review: 2010 gave us some surprising wins in interfaith dialogue
http://www.annarbor.com/faith/interfaith-the-year-in-review/
By: Ahmed Chaudhry
The past year has been in interesting one for interfaith dialogue and relations. Whether the global community came out better or worse is debatable, but one thing for sure is that it was varied and diverse in its nature.
The majority of interaction between faith groups throughout history seems to be one of conflict: wars, hate crimes, oppression and the like (a point several of the fiercely anti-organized religion readers of AnnArbor.com will be sure to superfluously re-iterate). It might be out of scope to say 2010 was different; the Israeli-Palestinian conflict wore on, Qur’ans were burned in America, and numerous religious groups were denied rights to practice freely from the Middle East to China. However, some of these news stories from this past year, while ugly in their appearance, yielded positive gains and unlikely heroes that helped make strides for a more peaceful co-existence amongst faiths.
The summer and fall brought what politicians and news heads cleverly labeled the “ground zero mosque” controversy as well as planned (and in isolated incidences, carried out) Qur’an burnings. In the former, the most ignorant of politicians in conjunction with an increasingly implicit media perpetuated a surge of misinformation that contributed to a (hopefully temporary) rise in Islamaphobia in America. While Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich fought against the “ground zero mosque” which was not planned at ground zero… or a even a mosque, Keith Olberman and American humorist Gladstone amongst others prevented the debate from becoming an entirely one-sided affair. Amidst this entire debacle, which is still causing many Americans on both sides to harbor intense feelings, a veritable Superbowl of interfaith dialogue was initiated.
The latter was also a story which, on the face, seemed yet another of religious conflict as pastor Terry Jones of Florida organized a ‘Burn a Qur’an Day,’ While Jones himself did not carry out a burning, others across the United States actually did, including an incident nearby in Lansing in September. The unlikely heroes that emerged from these events included CAIR director Dawud Walid who made an important distinction between the practice of free speech and a hate crime and Jacob Isom of Amarillo, Texas whose Qur’an stealing stunt went viral on the internet.
It’s no surprise that on the overall spectrum of interfaith interactions, the less pleasant of the bunch tend to make headlines. People seem to have become morbidly fascinated with watching the parts of society that are rapidly deteriorating. Make no mistake, however: 2010 had a good share of advances in interfaith dialogue which should leave people with hope for what’s to come in 2011 and beyond.
The UN General Assembly unanimously proclaimed the first “World Interfaith Harmony Weekbetween all religions, faiths and beliefs” to be observed yearly on the first week of February starting next year. In February this year, an international dialogue between Islam and Eastern religions was held in New Delhi. It was inaugurated by Hamid Ansari, the Vice President of India and was attended by leaders and scholars of Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. On Nov. 27 of this year , 150 university scholars and delegates from 25 countries gathered at Dhaka University in Bangladesh for the second International Conference on Inter-religious and Intercultural Dialogue to perpetuate interfaith knowledge and research as well as improve the role of universities in educating youth on interfaith dialogue and working towards peace.
The last is especially significant as it seems it is the world’s youth that made the most positive strides for interfaith understanding in 2010. While much of the world’s older population (though not all of it by any means) was busy muddling their religious convictions in political and judicial affairs, many of the notable advancements, though not making headlines, came from the youth of the world. So is it crazy to think we’re moving in the right direction? Or does that depend on what your opinion of the right direction is?

Obama worse than Bush, Cheney when it comes to terrorism policies
http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/37338
By Doug Thompson
Two of former President George W. Bush‘s top intelligence officials say President Barack Obama is far worse than either Bush or former Vice President Dick Cheney when it comes to the so-called “war on terror.”
Speaking on CNN’s Sysyr of he Union, former National Intelligence Director ad retired Vice Admiral Michael McConnell told host Candy Crowley that he admired the Obama White House for being even more aggressive than Bush or Cheney when it came to terrorism issues.
During the 2008 Presidential campaign, Obama attacked Bush over what he then called over-aggressive attacks on anti-terrorism issues. Since the election, some critics say he has become worse than Bush when it comes to the “war on terror.”
“He’s no better than Bush,” one long-time Democratic strategist told Capitol Hill Blue. “In many ways he’s worse than even Cheney.”
“You commend them for that?” Crowley asked.
“I do commend them for that,” McConnell replied, the web site Politico reported.
Michael Hayden, a retired Air Force genera and former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, joined McDonnell in praising Obama.
“When one is in office, it’s, as the admiral has suggested, when one is in office, that responsibility weighs pretty heavily. And so we’ve seen a powerful consistency between two administrations trying to deal with this problem,” Hayden said. “Actually, I’ve seen it over two administrations, and I thank god every day for the continuity.”
“Regardless of which side of the political spectrum you come from or what your political views might be, these threats are very real and very serious. And we have to — have to deal with them in a very serious way,” McConnell added.

Local advocates keep hope alive for Dream Act
http://www.arabamericannews.com/news/index.php?mod=article&cat=Community&article=3765
By Jessica Barrow
Sunday, 12.26.2010, 09:31pm
Millions of young illegal immigrants had their hopes dashed on Saturday, December 18th, when the Senate failed to give the 60 votes needed to pass legislation for the DREAM Act.
The DREAM Act, which stands for Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors, was a bi-partisan legislation that would have allowed some illegal and deportable youth the opportunity to obtain permanent residency if they met certain requirements.
That bill’s failure to pass stunned many government officials and community leaders. Not only was the DREAM Act an important part of immigration reform, but it was shown to provide a boost for the economy and increase tax revenues. According to a statement made by President Obama, the act could have helped reduce the federal deficit by $2.2 billion in 10 years, while helping to increase the number in the armed forces.
“Those who opposed it, I don’t believe they had any justification,” said Imad Hamad, Director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee’s Michigan Chapter (ADC-MI). “They aren’t serving the best interest of the nation. They challenge something that helps so many families to become stable and helps kids to obtain a good education and become productive members of society.”
With the DREAM Act having so many benefits, its failure to pass generated many theories.
Dawud Walid, Director of the Council of American Islamic Relations, believe the bill itself was not the issue.
“We believe that it was politics that drove (not passing the act), not the essence of the act itself, with the political climate being so partisan. The anti immigrant sentiments are what we just saw in terms of the vote.”
The DREAM Act, which was proposed nearly 10 year ago, had both Republican and Democratic supporters, due to its targeting of illegal immigrants who came into the country before the age of 16, have a high school diploma, are attending college or joining the military. Such youth would be considered “good citizens” and earn their permanent residence in this country.
“There were some on the right who said the act was an amnesty act, and that is simply not true,” Walid said. “In essence, the DREAM Act was giving a chance to people who came here not by choice, or their own volition but by their parents, who have shown to be law abiding and productive citizens, the ability become documented and be legal residents. The provisions were very stringent in terms of indicating those who committed felonies or other crimes. There were no provisions of amnesty for criminals.”
“The Dream Act is one of those good efforts that was hopeful to fix some of the broken immigration system which poses a tremendous challenge to our nation,” said Hamad. “For the past three or four administrations, this has been on the table, the need for immigration reform. The DREAM Act was a partial effort and a step in the right direction. It addressed an issue that is of great concern to immigrants: the status of young children who came to this country.”
The act was supported by many of those young children who now attend college, as well as institutions of higher-learning, and legislators. For those who supported the act, this lack of passage in the Senate is not the end.
“Our movement felt the sting of a temporary legislative setback, but we have not been defeated,” said Ali Noor, Director of the National Immigration Forum and Chair of the Reform Immigration for America Campaign, in a press release.”We may not have won this battle, but when it comes to winning the war between mass deportation and earned citizenship, it’s not a matter of if we win, but when.”
Local community leaders also believe that this was just a small setback.
“People who advocated will not give up,” said Hamad. “It’s valid and legitimate. It is a matter that will be faced today, tomorrow and the day after. It’s not going to end here. Tomorrow (the DREAM Act) will be called another name, but will be the same concept. It’s a call for reform.”

French neo-colonialism and African dictatorships
Posted on September 22, 2011 by petrel41 By Anthony Torres:
Bourgi affair exposes French imperialism’s criminal activities in Africa
On September 11, lawyer Robert Bourgi revealed in a lengthy interview in the Journal du Dimanche that he acted as go-between for the secret financing of the main political parties in France by African heads of state.
Testimony from others, notably that of Loïk Le Floch-Prigent, CEO of the Elf oil company, had already revealed the existence of such funding (see: “France: Elf verdicts reveal state corruption at highest levels”). Bourgi’s statements shed further light on the illegal activities of French officials in the country’s former colonies. They show for all to see the links between the French state and imperialist policy in Africa.
Bourgi details how he received large sums of money from the African politicians, which he handed over to then-president Jacques Chirac and former prime minister Dominique de Villepin. In the interview Bourgi says: “Through me … five African heads of state—Blaise Compaoré [Burkina Faso], Laurent Gbagbo [Ivory Coast], Denis Sassou Nguesso [Congo-Brazzaville] and, of course, Omar Bongo [Gabon]—contributed about $10 million for the 2002 [presidential] campaign.”
Bourgi often hid this cash in djembes, African drums. Further on in the interview, the lawyer explained that throughout the 1990s he collected funds from several African heads of state, including Zaire’s brutal dictator, Marshal Mobutu Sese Seko.
His account confirms the existence of corrupt networks linking up French banks, oil companies and the military with various African régimes. These networks continued functioning after decolonisation in order to plunder the African masses—and also help oppress the French working class, by contributing to the imposition of reactionary governments such as Chirac’s.

50 years ago: Three-day uprising in Congo-Brazzaville
From August 13 to August 15, 1963 a series of strikes and riots rocked Congo-Brazzaville (formerly the French Congo and subsequently the Republic of the Congo). The uprising came to be known as the Trois Glorieuses, or Three Glorious Days, a reference to the July Revolution of 1830 in France. The former French colony had become independent only three years earlier.
The uprising began on August 12 among workers and unemployed who demonstrated for higher pay and the release of political and labor prisoners against anti-communist President Fulbert Youlou, a former Catholic priest. Soldiers opened fire on one demonstration, killing three. On August 13 striking workers in the former French colony’s capital city, Brazzaville, marched on the prison and forced the release of all inmates. Five were killed in the storming of the prison, as demonstrators braved live ammunition and grenade fire. On August 14 the homes of unpopular ministers were torched.
On August 15—the third anniversary of independence—Youlou was forced to resign after the military refused his orders to fire on demonstrators who surrounded the presidential palace. He was replaced by Alphonse Massamba-Debat on August 16. The deal with the military was brokered by the Congolese Youth Union, and the trade union, the Confédération générale aéfienne du travail, both of which formerly had ties to the French Communist Party. Youlou had attempted to suppress both organizations.

Where's Robespierre When You Need Him?

Need a Job? $17,000 an Hour. No Success Required
By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
Are you capable of taking a perfectly good 158-year-old company and turning it into dust? If so, then you may not be earning up to your full potential.
You should be raking it in like Richard Fuld, the longtime chief of Lehman Brothers. He took home nearly half-a-billion dollars in total compensation between 1993 and 2007.
Last year, Mr. Fuld earned about $45 million, according to the calculations of Equilar, an executive pay research company. That amounts to roughly $17,000 an hour to obliterate a firm. If you're willing to drive a company into the ground for less, apply by calling Lehman Brothers at (212) 526-7000.
Oh, nevermind.
I'm delighted to announce that Mr. Fuld (who continues to lead Lehman since it entered bankruptcy proceedings this week) is the winner of my annual Michael Eisner Award for corporate rapacity and poor corporate governance. The award honors the pioneering achievements in this field of Mr. Eisner, the former Walt Disney chief.
This isn't a plaque that will simply gather dust in a closet. It's a shower curtain to commemorate the $6,000 one that the former C.E.O. of Tyco purchased and billed to his shareholders.
So, Mr. Fuld, you'll be pleased to know that I've picked out a lovely green vinyl number for you. Only $14.99! Why, I saved you $5,985!
Perhaps it seems frivolous to be handing out shower curtains to chief executives when we're caught in a deepening economic crisis. Well, it is.
But one of our broad national problems is rising inequality, and it is exacerbated by corporate executives helping themselves to shareholders' cash. Three decades ago, C.E.O.'s typically earned 30 to 40 times the income of ordinary workers. Last year, C.E.O.'s of large public companies averaged 344 times the average pay of workers.
John McCain seems to think that the problem is that C.E.O.'s are greedy. Well, of course, they are. We're all greedy. The real failure is one of corporate governance, which provides only the flimsiest oversight to curb the greed of executives like Mr. Fuld.
"Compare the massive destruction of wealth for shareholders to what he gets at the end of the day," said Lucian Bebchuk, the director of the corporate governance program at Harvard Law School. A central flaw of governance is that boards of directors frequently are ornamental and provide negligible oversight.
As Warren Buffett has said, "in judging whether corporate America is serious about reforming itself, C.E.O. pay remains the acid test." It's a test that corporate America is failing.
These Brobdingnagian paychecks are partly the result of taxpayer subsidies. A study released a few weeks ago by the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington found five major elements in the tax code that encourage overpaying executives. These cost taxpayers more than $20 billion a year.
That's enough money to deworm every child in the world, cut maternal mortality around the globe by two-thirds and also provide iodized salt to prevent tens of millions of children from suffering mild retardation or worse. Alternatively, it could pay for health care for most uninsured children in America.
Do we truly believe that C.E.O.'s like Mr. Fuld are more deserving of tax dollars than sick children?
Perhaps it's understandable that C.E.O.'s are paid heroically when they succeed, but why pay prodigious sums when they fail? E. Stanley O'Neal, the former chief of Merrill Lynch, retired last year after driving the firm over a cliff, and he walked away with $161 million.
The problem isn't precisely paychecks that are huge. Baseball stars, investment bankers and hedge fund managers all earn obscene sums, but honestly -- through arm's-length transactions. You and I may gasp, but that's the free market at work.
In contrast, boards pay C.E.O.'s after negotiations that are often more like pillow talk. Relationships are incestuous, and compensation consultants provide only a thin veer of respectability by finding some "peer group" of companies so moribund that anybody shines in comparison. The result is what critics call the Lake Wobegon effect, which miraculously leaves all C.E.O.'s above average. Indeed, one study of 1,500 companies found that two-thirds claimed to be outperforming their peer groups.
John Kenneth Galbraith, the great economist, once explained: "The salary of the chief executive of a large corporation is not a market award for achievement. It is frequently in the nature of a warm personal gesture by the individual to himself."
There are widely discussed technical solutions to C.E.O.'s overpaying themselves that we should move toward. We can also learn from Britain and Australia, which offer shareholders more rights than in America, redrawing the balance between shareholders and management and curbing pay in the process.
As for Mr. Fuld, unfortunately, he had no comment for this column. At $17,000 an hour, it probably wasn't worth his time. Leave a comment

Five Things to Read About Syria
A friend emailed me yesterday, "I'm trying to figure out what we should support in Syria. Can you suggest anything to read?"
I have been worried about that myself. Some of the more inane leftists here in the Bay Area have suggested that the Syrian government is not committing grave human rights violations, not massacring civilians, that it's simply a U.S.-supported "contra war" against a left-wing regime. Though there's plenty of precedent for skepticism, it seems clear from reports of neutral people on the ground that that's not the case. All the armed groups are probably committing atrocities but the government is certainly responsible for a lot of them, and has the biggest arsenal and army to do it with.
Nevertheless, I'm positive that U.S.-NATO led invasion or bombing will only make the situation much worse, and build support for the Assad regime. So what is happening and who should we be supporting?
Here are a few things I found enlightening, though I could sure use your recommendations for more. I'm going to ask Rayan El-Amine (cofounder of Left Turn, now living in his native Lebanon) to write a tutorial for us.
1. Syrian Opposition Divided Over Arms and Intervention Afra Jalabi is a Syrian-born Canadian journalist, a nonviolence activist and a member of the Syrian National Council. I heard her speak at the Arab Women's Conference in March and was very impressed. This is a video interview with her, and there's also a transcript. …So there are many people … in the opposition, even on the
ground, they feel that if there won't be intervention, external intervention,
then let the people defend themselves. However, some of us, including myself,
believe this is a dangerous option, because you have a civilian population that
is not trained militarily, and that arming civilians would actually create
further chaos. You can also watch a video of Afra Jalabi speaking at Friends for a Nonviolent World conference. 2. Back from Syria, Journalist Anand Gopal Warns Protesters "Face
Slaughter" by Assad Regime
I heard Anand Gopal on Democracy Now after he returned from a week in Syria.The comment that really made me sit up and listen was this:
I had a lot of questions about the nature of the
insurgency in Syria. And, you know, of course, the U.S. and the West are
supporting, at least in word supporting, the insurgency. So I was coming at it
with a very skeptical and critical mind. We went over the border, basically
crawling under a barbed-wire fence and hiking over mountains for a long period.
But when I got into Syria, what I found was completely different from what I
expected, in that in every town and village, it was essentially the entire
population was mobilized in support of the revolution. I mean, you had from
little children to old people. Really, I’ve never seen anything like that
before. And it showed to me the extent to which the revolution had a—has a
mass, democratic popular base, and Assad doesn’t.
3. Arab-American Media: Don't Turn Syria Into Another Lybia
From New American Media:
Editorial Note: Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad’s assault
on the besieged city of Homs has left what human rights groups say are as many
as 7000 dead, including American journalist Marie Colvin and French
photojournalist Rémi Ochlik. The assault is the latest in a now 12-month old
civil conflict pitting the autocratic ruler against rebels determined to end
his decade-long presidency. Representatives from over 70 nations have now
gathered in Tunisia for a “Friends of the Syrian People” meeting, which
includes former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Anan and U.S. Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton. At issue is what kind of intervention, if any, should be
taken. New America Media asked members of the Arab American media for their
4. The State of the Struggle: Revolution and Counter-revolution in the Arab World
By: Lamis Andoni and Nora Barrows-Friedman (June 20,
Lamis Andoni is a veteran journalist covering the Middle East for over
20 years. She has worked for several Arab and Western publications and media
outlets, most recently as a Middle East editor at Al Jazeera TV.
Nora Barrows-Friedman is a journalist, writer, and radio producer. She
is a staff reporter and editor with The Electronic Intifada, and her work
appears in Al Jazeera English, Truthout.org, Inter Press Service, and other
outlets. She has been reporting from Palestine since 2004.
The brutal Syrian regime’s reaction to the popular protests
has ended once and for all the argument, popular among the pan-Arab
nationalists, Islamists and even some circles of the Left, that raising
questions about the regime’s human record would weaken its position vis-à-vis
American and Israeli threats.
5. On the perils of sectarianism in Syria As the Syrian tragedy becomes increasingly painted in
sectarian terms, author Robin Yassin-Kassab asks why so many Syrians, including
leftists, liberals and secularists, continue to ignore the issue. It is time,
he argues, to break this taboo once and for all.
Good historical perspective, going back to the Sykes-Picot
agreement outlining British and French spheres of influence after World War I.
6. Saving the nonviolent revolution in Syria: For a credible strategy
Sadek Jalal al-Azm et al , Jane Mansbridge and Chibli Mallat, Sunday 26 Feb 2012 Willing countries can accelerate the process of delegitimizing Asad by surrendering the Syrian embassies to the SNC [Syrian National Council] as a far more legitimate representative of Syria than its present envoys. This measure will also promote defections in those embassies and in the Syrian diplomatic services. Should governments decide that giving up the embassy is too much under international law, they can provide serious logistics to help
the SNC be the dominant voice on the world scene. Sadek Jalal al-Azm is the leading public intellectual of Syria and is emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Damascus. Jane Mansbridge is Adams Professor of Political Leadership and Democratic Values at Harvard Kennedy School. Chibli Mallat
is a Lebanese lawyer and law professor, and the Chairman of Right to Nonviolence, an international NGO based in the Middle East.

Some Readings for the Lugubrious (Bahrain, Occupy and More)
I’ve been shamefully lackadaisical in my blogging habits the last few weeks. I was searching for a word to describe my sluggishness and I thought of lugubrious. I wrote it down. Then I realized I had no idea what it really meant. For all I know, it could mean boring or suntanned. Looked it up. The online dictionary (which could be lying to me – oh, no!) says it means “Mournful, dismal, or gloomy, especially to an exaggerated or ludicrous degree.”
That’s actually probably pretty accurate to describe my politico-emotional state. When I overcome my lugubriosity I am going to write a psychology paper defining the range of “politico-emotional” experience which will henceforth be known as the KatRap scale. Okay, here’s something truly creepy – when I googled “politico-emotional,” the only things that came up other than articles on politico.com containing the word “emotional” were pieces about Jews’ relationship to Zionism. Which I wasn’t even about to start talking about.
But back to my own politico-emotional dis-ease. It’s all down to Occupy, of course. If I wanted to be media fashionable, I could blame it on the arrogance and self-absorption of (parts of the) Black Bloc. That would be partly accurate. But it would be equally accurate to blame the supercilious preaching that is giving Nonviolence a bad name. I could also blame the professional left, who make everyday activism sound – and feel – like drudgery and then wonder why no one wants to do it.
But at bottom, I’m just deeply disappointed in Occupy. As I’ve said before, I don’t think it’s dead, not by a long shot. I expect them to come roaring back and maybe stronger and more unified than ever. But I’m disappointed that the things I predicted have come true, at least temporarily. Sure, I forecast that crackdowns and COINTELPRO would scare and drive people out of the streets. I said that if they did not deal with the divisions within their movement, the movement would fray. In my meaner moments, I might have thought, “You who act like no one ever built a movement before, you just wait, the things that got us are going to get you too.”
But I didn’t mean it. This is a time when it’s no fun being right. I might have been jealous of this well-timed movement with its thousands of people willing to sit through five-hour meetings day after day, but I was totally rooting for it. Deep down I hoped they WERE right, that our experience meant nothing, that they had discovered something completely new that would enable them to outplay, outwit and outlast the 1% and its henchmen.
Because I believe Another World Is Possible, I know Another U.S. Is Necessary, and I am more than ready for it.
So I’ve been unable to think of anything interesting, uplifting or relevant to say. I just want to walk around moaning, “Oh, Occupy, Occupy, why have you forsaken me.” And the news out of Syria and Israel has not been exactly invigorating either.
This week, though, was a good one in Bahrain.
Two acquaintances of mine were released from prison after being held for several weeks: Zainab al Khawaja (@AngryArabiya), daughter of hunger striking political prisoner Abdulhadi al Khawaja and a leader of the youth movement, and Nabeel Rajab, president of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights. Zainab was arrested for staging a protest during the Formula 1 Grand Prix (that’s a car race) to bring attention to her father’s case and other imprisoned activists. She was sentenced to one month, but then was not released even after her sentence was up. Nabeel was arrested three weeks ago when he returned from a trip to Lebanon. He was charged with “"inciting illegal rallies, and with “defaming” Bahrain's security forces through his Twitter account. He was released on bail.
The other good news is that Abdulhadi al Khawaja ended the hunger strike he began on February 8 (110 days). He was said more than once to be close to death, and was force-fed by prison doctors on numerous occasions. His life sentence, along with the sentences of 14 other activists, was set aside last month but the activists were not released on bail pending a new trial. Al Khawaja was convicted by a military court for his role in the country’s pro-democracy protests.
While looking for news about the releases, I stumbled on a very good article on Al Jazeera English. It was a discussion between Nabeel and several other activists, published the day after his arrest. They were discussing “The story that is not being covered,” and they got into a lot of specifics I found fascinating. They brought up:
the changing role of women in Bahraini political life
the effects of such high quantities of tear gas in a densely populated area without trees
whether they expect the Sunni to join the revolution or have a parallel one
the changing conditions for Sunni due to the rising numbers of foreign-born citizens
whether the regime will agree to become a Saudi “vassal state” and whether that will push the opposition to accept direct aid from Iran
how the movement is changing the artistic scene
The article is long, candid and in-depth and I wish that I had had the opportunity to read it before I went there. While checking the Twitter feed, which I haven’t even had energy (or time) to do recently, I actually found a couple other things that cheered me up:
“10 Documentaries for Those New to Activism” -- full disclosure, this one is posted on the website of the controversial Occupy Oakland media collective, which was publicly expelled for inappropriate comments about a Palestinian Occupier. Nonetheless, it recommends some wonderful films, many available for free, and some which sound like exactly what I need. (I’m heavily into documentaries these days. Call it a hunger for truth.)
A New Resource for Occupy: Dreaming In Public
"Among the growing range of books on the Occupy movement Dreaming in Public will stand out for one simple reason. It is of the movement, not about it. It is an account of the thinking and creativity of the movement rather than a narrative of events or an observer analysis."
Just what I need, another book about Occupy. But sounds great. Thanks to @JenAngel for calling it to my attention. And @LaurenRiot of Oakland Occupy Patriarchy, wrote a trenchant and well-articulated piece about why it’s legitimate for those responding to police killings in Oakland to do things that are not endorsed by the families of the victims. She begins,
“Somewhere in Oakland right now, the next Alan Blueford is doing something innocuous. Maybe he's getting ready for a date or brushing his teeth or watching TV. He has no idea that one day the Oakland Police will murder him.” Let your fingers run not walk to “For Those Who Will Be Next.” The Pen is Mightier than the Lugubrious Bug. Posted by

212 20th February, 1929PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL
I have now read the British Economic Mission's Report. [1] On the whole it seems to me to be a most useful document and quite remarkably well written. The policies which you have stood for are supported to a remarkable extent and I was particularly pleased by the extremely cordial references to the Development and Migration Commission and to the Commonwealth Council for Scientific and Industrial Research.
I thought the best parts of the report were the sections dealing with Protection. They were tactful but clear and should prove illuminating to those who have not really thought about the subject; in other words, to the vast majority of business men and politicians.
I was a little perplexed by the suggestion that the 34,000,000 agreement [2] should be extended to cover Scientific Research for, at the moment, I fail to see how more than say at the outside 500,000 per annum could be spent even on very large scale demonstrations of the value of research.
The paragraphs advocating intensive rather than extensive development were entirely in harmony with the point of view I have come to hold for some years, and I consider their remarks about Migration as useful and judicious. My only major criticism is that the tone of the report is rather negative. To those with knowledge to read between the lines, this is more apparent than real, but, to the uninitiated, the negative insistence upon economy will be the main effect.
There is one very general criticism of the policy of Economy and I do not think that here the problem has been fully faced. The British case may, perhaps, afford a useful illustration for Australia.
For the last six years at least the declared policy of each successive British Government has been economy. This policy aims at a reduction of taxation, a series of successful conversion loans, etc. in order to reduce the cost of production which is the main handicap of Great Britain in her oversea trade. But Great Britain has, through her social services, through the power of her Trade Unions in the sheltered industries, and through the heavy War taxation, a very long way to go before she can reduce costs to European standards. It therefore follows that a policy of economy to be successful must be ruthlessly carried out over a considerable period of years. The question that has not been faced is whether a modern democracy will endure the strain? Take the history of the last six years in England. The official policy has been economy but Governments have been forced to increase social services, to give the coal mining subsidy, to face the losses and expenditure of a General Strike and the Coal stoppage and to contribute to an Unemployment fund which has tended to increase, rather than diminish. Is there any reasonable prospect of a better state of affairs during the next three or four years? Assuredly not, for the country is almost sure to be faced by political deadlocks and by a series of General Elections, occurrences not conducive to Governmental economy. It therefore seems as if the Government ought to consider whether an Economy policy can be effective under all the conflicting stresses of the present times.
What is the alternative policy? Is it not a policy of development at home and in the Empire? May it not be better to recognise that, in a modern democracy, one cannot go back upon social services;
one can only reduce standards of living at the cost of grave political crises.
The object of the economy policy is to reduce costs of production and thus to enable the country to compete more effectively in world trade. This object could perhaps be obtained through a wise policy of development. If the country's resources were used to speed up developments such as the electricity schemes, and above all to assist in the development of those Dominions and Colonies which obtain a great proportion of their imports from Great Britain and also those which prefer to receive British settlers, might not the result be to give a larger taxable income, and thus to reduce taxation, and to decrease costs of production by the encouragement of a greater output per unit with lowered overhead charges.
These points seem to me matters which the Government here ought urgently to consider but they do seem to have some bearing upon the British Mission's report. The policy recommended is not a pure Economy policy, such as that to which British Chancellors of the Exchequer pay lip service, but it has large elements thereof.
Curtailed extensive expansion, calling a halt in protection, etc.
I believe both these points are sound but I also feel they can only be made acceptable to the democracy of Australia if, simultaneously, we carry out a bold and vigorous policy of intensive development. This the Mission has recommended but has not emphasized, perhaps wisely. [3]
It is probably true that if things go on in their present way, we shall, within 30 years, double the production of wheat, of butter, of mutton and lamb, and of other agricultural crops from our present settled areas. If this can be done in 30 years, can we not, by effort, achieve the result in 5, and thus secure the benefits of cheapened production, and a substantially increased population without having to attempt to discipline the people to stand up to a severe economy campaign? Perhaps schemes, such as the one I sent you on the Dairying Industry [4], might be adopted, probably many others far better will occur to you. Intensive development should require far less expenditure than extensive. It should yield much more rapid returns, it should involve less risk but it will require the cooperation of the scientists and the practical man; in short it will require far more brains and energy than the policy of extensive development which we have in the past adopted both in regard to our primary and indeed also to our secondary industries.
Yours sincerely, F. L. MCDOUGALL 1 Report of the British Economic Mission', Commonwealth Parliamentary Papers 1929, vol. 11, p. 1231. In a letter dated 30 April (file AA:M111, 1929), Bruce described the Mission as a great success, noting that the members' policy of confining investigation to private interviews with a wide cross-section of Australians had overcome the initial hostility of Labor politicians and the press. The Report was 'an extraordinarily good summary of the present position in Australia' and had been well received.
2 An agreement drawn up in 1925, under the Empire Settlement Act 1922, whereby the British and Commonwealth Governments jointly subsidised loans to the States for development schemes, on condition that one immigrant be taken for each 75 of principal, and one new farm established for each 1000.
3 In the letter cited in note 1 Bruce agreed: '... the world is now so far advanced that we have to recognise we must face great expenditures upon social amelioration, and the only way to solve our problems is ... expanding our turn-over rather than imagining we can solve our difficulties by reducing our expenses'.

10/31/09-New York Marathon notes and thoughts
Today was pretty relaxed. had breakfast at the Yorkville Diner, one of my favorite places. Went with my daughter to where I thought I was supposed to take the bus to the start on Staten Island. (more on that later) Then we went over to Central Park and I pointed out where I would meet her after the race. After getting back to her place, I started reading the race guidebook and realized that I wasn't taking the bus, but the ferry which was all the way down southern Manhattan. Going onto the website, I figured out which trains I would have to take. Whew! dodged that bullet! Imagine going to the site for the buses and being turned away and having to make a mad dash on the subway to catch the right ferry! After solving that problem, while my daughter was out celebrating Halloween with her friends, I wandered over to this Japanese restaurant that was actually owned by a Chinese couple. The food was excellent and I was happy to be able to stick with my race routine of chicken and rice.During dinner, I finally decided on a plan for the race. I had been wavering between sticking to the exact pace that would get me a 3:25 to 3:30 time and the more riskier plan of going out on a pace for 3:20 and trying to hang on. I had tried the former plan at the Boston marathon and it had not worked out. Mostly because of a very painful back and two pit stops because I drank a lot of water/gatorade before the race. I decided to try for the 3:20 pace from the start and to see if I could hold on for a decent time.

Research & Product News For People With Diabetes
Several weeks ago, I had the privilege of addressing an FDA advisory panel as it weighed the pros and cons of a new medication for type 2 diabetes. In this particular case, the advisory panel was effectively considering the merits of an entire drug class, since J&J’s Invokana (pronounced In-vo-CON-a; the scientific name is canagliflozin) is now set to be the first ever SGLT-2 inhibitor approved in the United States. SGLT-2 inhibitors improve blood glucose control by causing the kidneys to excrete any excess glucose in urine. The final 10-5 vote in favor of approval was an endorsement for Invokana from the panelists, especially since the most influential ones voted for approval; that said, there were a number of safety concerns raised during the discussion regarding certain groups of patients, particularly those with serious kidney disease.
As will probably not surprise you, Invokana – or any SGLT-2 inhibitor – is not going to be a perfect, all-inclusive solution that will radically change treating type 2 diabetes. Indeed, most FDA panelists felt that those with meaningfully impaired kidney function (more than 35% of people with diabetes aged 20 years and older have chronic kidney disease) should probably steer clear of using the drug. As a result, much of the FDA discussion was dominated by panelists’ concerns that Invokana would only work for some people. That’s certainly true; in this era in which ADA and major scientific leaders are asking for “personalized” care, that seems a reason to make sure it is prescribed carefully – but hardly a reason to lean away from approval, especially given that the majority of patients are not at the AACE’s A1c target of 6.5% and nearly half aren’t at the ADA target of 7%.
Last year’s ADA/EASD Position Statement on the treatment of type 2 diabetes placed a heavy emphasis on “individualizing therapy,” and we believe the SGLT-2 inhibitor drug class fits perfectly into that concept. If the diabetes community is indeed serious about finding the right treatment for each individual patient, then SGLT-2 inhibitors could plan an important role – those who are likely to benefit would be prescribed them, while those for whom SGLT-2 inhibitors represent an unacceptable safety risk wouldn’t use them. At issue is that we need more treatment options, given that roughly half of patients with diabetes in the US are not at an A1c less than 7% (the recommended goal from the ADA).
The challenge of achieving good glucose control translates directly into healthcare costs – this is becoming increasingly important as the top 1% of people with diabetes – about 200,000 people – has medical costs that average over $100,000 every year, while the top 0.1% each cost about $1 million every year, according to a conversation we had with the authors of a 2010 piece in Pharmacoeconomics by Elise M. Pelletier and her colleagues. This group desperately needs help, and they (and their healthcare professionals) need more tools at their disposable. SGLT-2s won’t help everyone in the costliest 1%, but drugs like these could help prevent people from developing costly related diseases. From our view, it’s all about staying healthy and treating to “success” and thinking creatively about what will keep patients focused on making sure their therapy and wellness decisions are working. If new compounds can help even a minority get and keep their glucose under control – or at least move to another therapy when the first therapy isn’t working anymore – the savings would be significant.
On the other side, it’s worth considering people who are just beginning their journey with type 2 diabetes. For most, metformin is generally regarded as the best therapy to use right at diagnosis – it is effective, has many years of safety data, and is potentially cancer-protective. But that’s only talking generally. Dr. Eric Topol of Scripps thinks that as many as one in five patients will derive no benefit from metformin due to genetic factors. This group might be better using a DPP-4 inhibitor (Januvia, Onglyza) or an SGLT-2 inhibitor. The problem is that most people never find out they’re genetic non-responders to metformin – the result is wasted time, discouragement, and exasperation with healthcare providers when their glucose and A1c levels fail to improve. Though there are currently no studies on genetic testing and drug responsiveness, we hope to see some done. If it were proven that taking a genetic test could help personalize therapy that would be great news, especially if payers started reimbursing for these tests. We learned at the recent JP Morgan Healthcare conference that there is now a company that offers such a test, 23andMe, and it costs just $99.
While healthcare providers are important to the success of any individualized therapy, it’s the patients themselves who are truly essential. That’s why we created our diaTribe Patient’s Guide to Individualizing Therapy, and it’s why we hope that, when the dust clears, SGLT-2 inhibitors and other emerging drug classes will have an important place in diabetes – we love classes that appear to be easier to take and easier to prescribe and, as long as safety holds, that seems true for this new class. Plus, of course, we love the rumblings that this may ultimately be useful for type 1 patients – we look forward to hearing the research on this front. There’s a right diabetes management combination for everyone, and the best way to ensure that remains true is to embrace new research, therapies, and technologies, even if they can’t solve everything at once.
Very best,
