Chinese regulator to manage IPO pace
Beijing, Jan 9 (IANS) The Chinese securities regulator announced that it will "appropriately manage" the pace of new share sales to stabilise investors' anticipation, underscoring the regulator's desire to contain more fluctuations after market rebound, the media reported on Saturday.
The regulator's statement came on Friday after the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index suffered a 10 percent loss in a week, with market shutdowns on Monday and Thursday triggered by the circuit breaker mechanism, the China Daily reported.
On Friday, the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index surged by 1.97 percent after the securities authorities suspended the controversial circuit breaker mechanism the night before. The mechanism was blamed for worsening liquidity crunch in the market.
Deng Ge, the spokesman for the China Securities Regulatory Commission, said at the regulator will appropriately arrange the new share sales based on the principle of enhancing trading vitality and stabilising the market.
Since the Chinese market experienced unprecedented volatility in the past week, the regulator has adopted measures to calm investors' anxiety, including scrapping the circuit breaker mechanism and restricting share sales by major shareholders of listed companies to no more than 1 percent of their companies' total shares within three months.
"The circuit breaker is a magnifier, but not trigger, of market volatility. Suspension of the mechanism should decelerate the decline in A shares to reflect China's weakening fundamentals. But it will not reverse the decline," said Hong Hao, chief strategist at investment bank BOCOM International.
But a sign of relief for investors was that the yuab's decline for eight consecutive days came to a halt on Friday, highlighting the Chinese monetary authorities' determination to keep the currency stable.

It's not uncommon for special teams to be overlooked.
That's not the case at Glenbard West, where superiority in this area is ingrained into the program's culture, often resulting in a decided edge during games.
"We see it as something very significant to our team," said Jon Schweighardt, the Hilltoppers' special teams coordinator. "Winning on special teams can be critical, and I'm always looking for players who thrive on that challenge."

At one point in their lives, each of our guests had to choose whether or not they would inherit a family business. The answer didn't always come quickly, and most of them had to change the business to make it their own, but each decided to carry their family's tradition to the next generation.
With so much to do during the holidays and so little time to do it, they often don't feel like "the most wonderful time of the year." But if you pocket a word of wisdom from our guests, perhaps you'll be able to go about the next couple weeks breathing easier.
The Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church is the oldest Orthodox Church in America. For 150 years the members of the church have passed down their traditions bit by bit, day by day. But now that our culture has changed and fewer people have extra time on their hands, the culture could be in jeopardy of being lost. This week on Louisiana Eats! we'll speak with the women of the church as they prepare finikia to hear their thoughts about community, family and heritage.
For players and coaches, a football game starts long before kickoff. The same holds true for the food-minded Saints fan. For such fans, it starts with choosing what to cook and devoting the hands-on work to ensure a victorious feast.
It's really no wonder. Take the enthusiasm of the Who Dat Nation, add south Louisiana's endemic passion for food and the results are predictably over the top.

Thanks to a quirk of history — and a love of bananas — New Orleans has had a Honduran population for more than a century. But that population exploded after Hurricane Katrina, when the jobs needed to rebuild the city drew waves of Honduran immigrants. Many of them stayed, and nearly a decade later, they've established a thriving — if somewhat underground — culinary community.
Signs of that community abound, if you know where to look.
Evan McCommon has been converting his family's timber ranch into a biodiverse farm. The changes have been slow, but his resolve steady as the 1,100 acres change from a dense forest to an open savannah.
The interior of Aaron Sanchez and John Besh's new restaurant is split into two designs: one that looks like the iconic architecture of New Orleans, and the other is an homage to Sanchez's vibrant tattooed body. Even though both of these chefs have found success independently, their new collaboration at Johnny Sanchez is having each chef second guess what they took for granted.

A Miami police officer on Saturday fatally shot a naked man who was chewing on the face of another man on a downtown causeway off-ramp, police and witnesses said.
The Miami Herald reports that gunshots were heard at about 2 p.m. on the MacArthur Causeway off-ramp, which is near the newspaper's offices. Witnesses said that a woman saw two men fighting and flagged down a police officer, who came upon a naked man mauling the other man. The newspaper quoted witnesses as saying that the officer ordered the naked man to back away, and when he ignored the demand, the officer shot him. Witnesses said that the naked man continued his attack after being shot once, and the officer shot him several more times.
Read the Miami Herald's story here. They say the naked man may have been suffering from "cocaine psychosis." The Herald also has posted surveillance video from the scene.

Nalla Kara Podi
I came across the name of this dish first time when a fan of subbuskitchen requested the recipe of this. I have never tasted this before. Then I found out this is a famous dish in Andhra Cuisine and approached my friend who is from Hyderabad and she checked with her MIL and shared this recipe with me. Like Idly Podi, this Nalla Kara Podi can be served with hot steaming rice or we can serve with idlis and dosas.
|Nalla Kara Podi
|Preparation time
|Cooking Time
|15 mins
- Take all required ingredients and keep it ready for frying. Curry leaves, I have dried in the sun and have it ready. If you are in abroad, then you can dry fry the curry leaves in a pan or microwave plate for a minute so that the fresh leaves loses its moisture
- Now we are going to fry each ingredients separately one after the other. First, I have added 1/4 teaspoon of oil and roast the cumin seeds and take this to the mixer. Next, add 1/4 teaspoon of oil and the red chillies and fry for a minute in low flame and add that to the plate for cooling
- This is followed by black urid dal along with 1/4 teaspoon of oil. I have used black urid dal as this is traditionally used, but you can also use normal white urid dal also. Roast the urid dal till it turns slightly brown color. Take the roasted urid dal to the plate for cooling. Then add 1/4 teaspoon of oil and add channa dal and fry till the dal turns golden color.
- Then fry the coriander seeds in the oil for couple of minutes and cool it. Next fry the tamarind in oil for a minute and add it to the plate for cooling.
- Finally add 1/4 teaspoon of oil again and add curry leaves and fry them for a minute and take it in a separate plate. Add the dals, coriander seeds, red chillies, cumin seeds and tamarind to the mixer.
- Grind the added ingredients in the mixer to a coarse powder. To that, add fried curry leaves and give a pulse
- Finally add salt, raw garlic pod and give couple of pulse and remove the nalla kara podi from the mixer. Heat a pan with ghee and add the nalla kara podi and roast it in ghee for 2 minutes.
- Nalla Kara Podi is now ready to serve with hot steaming rice or with Idlis

There wasn't any actual storyline. It went back and forth between a woman's narrative and her grandfather. There were certain characters and stories from his past that she's interested in, but they're very far-fetched. She gnaws over them and makes a pilgrimage to his remote childhood home to get other people's perspectives about them.
Of the books I got at the trade show, I've only read one and it took less than five minutes. I got a copy of Adam Mansbach's children's book for adults, Go the F*&^ to Sleep, and I have to say, it is freaking hilarious! I'm not even a parent and it made me laugh. The illustrations are actually quite beautiful, like a good children's book, and the first few lines of each page read like a children's book. After those few lines on each page, though, come the internal dialogue of the parent, just trying to get his kid to go to sleep. I got to hear Mansbach speak and he was so funny. He told some good stories about the evolution of the book, his press tour (Kathie Lee Gifford is a nutjob....like we needed confirmation!) and the fact that no one seems to realize that this isn't his first book. It wasn't until he was speaking that I realized that I actually have a signed copy of one of his previous books - Angry Black White Boy - because he did an event about 4 years ago at the museum where I used to work.
Anyway, it's definitley not for everyone, but I found it completely original and laugh out loud funny. At the event where I heard Mansbach speak, there would be random laughter from the audience and you knew that person was reading the book.
Harlan Coban is probably one of favourite writers and Myron Bolitar is definatly my favourite detective but I was quite sad after reading Live Wire as everything had changed and it was all so sad and you knew that it was probably the end for a while.
So I was so excited when I saw Sheltered in the book shop on Friday, but when I saw it was a Mickey Bolitar, novel I was a tad confused. So I read it over the weekend
Now I am even sadder, although some of the characters are funny and interesting, it is almost like he has taken the adult characters he had in the Mylon books and tried to make them teenagers for Mickey to have,the character Mickey is not as likeable as Myron and I miss Myron so much, the little bits he was in were not enough.
I am not sure where this book should be as it is not really aimed at adults as the hero is just a teenager but it is little violent, and has a few adult concecpts (drugs, prostitution, strip clubs) so I think it is just as confused as I am.
Double Dexter. :yay A new Dexter book is always a treat (:grouphug to my daughter for getting it for me for my birthday). Jeff Lindsay is totally twisted, but in such a fun way...wish he had more input in the writing for the TV series.
I am in the middle of Before I Go To Sleep by S J Watson. About a woman who wakes up every morning not remembering her past, all her memories wiped everytime she goes to sleep. She keeps a journal to read every day to help her memories, and has to remember over and over again the same stuff! At the same time she lives with her husband who with the more she remembers, seems to be hiding a lot.
BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP by S. J. WatsonKirkus Book Reviews
I'm reading Mockingjay the third in the Hunger Games trilogy. Once I finish it I'll venture into that thread. I don't want spoilers so am staying away for now.
I'm reading How to Paint a Dead Man by Sarah Hall for my book club. The story is told across 50 years through the viewpoints of 4 very different characters - a dying artist, a blind flower seller, a landscape painter and a curator. At first, it's not clear how they are connected, but the connections are gradually revealed. I'm trying to get it read quickly so it's out of the way before Thanksgiving, but it's so beautifully written that I find myself lingering.
I picked this title for the book club, so I'm crossing my fingers that everyone else is as taken with it as I am! It's never fun to pick a title that everyone ends up hating.
I haven't started it yet (still working on Girl With the Dragon Tattoo), but I just picked up 11/22/63 by Stephen King. It's huge. This one's going to take me a while. :lol
It's been a long time since I read King, so I thought I'd give it a shot. He used to be one of my favorite writers.

Mumbai, Aug. 20 -- If you live in Mumbai, and frequent areas like Bandra or Andheri, chances are, you've done your share of celeb-spotting - jogging on the Carter Road promenade; waving from atop the high walls of their private, seaside bungalows; even cycling down the road in the wee hours of the day. Of course, one never stops being amazed when one suddenly discovers an actor sitting at a nearby table at a cafe or a restaurant.
And that's precisely what happened when, last weekend, Madhuri Dixit went out for dinner with husband Dr Sriram Nene, her kids and her mother, to a popular Mexican restaurant in Oshiwara, Andheri. An eyewitness - also dining at the restaurant - tells us that Madhuri and her family were seated at a corner table, well out of sight of other diners. They finished their meal without being interrupted. "It was only when they got up to leave that people recognised her, and requested for autographs and selfies," the eyewitness says.
Known to always be obliging of fans' requests, Madhuri patiently signed autographs and posed for pictures. Meanwhile, her husband, Dr Nene -who must be used to such situations - ensured that the actor's mother was not left unattended. "Her mother was struggling to walk, and she wanted to wait for Madhuri so they could leave together. But, as they were not sure how long it would take, Dr Nene held her hand and escorted her to the car," the eyewitness adds.

In a recent interview with the New York Times, Apple's Senior VP of worldwide product marketing Phil Schiller talked about some of his favorite apps for the iPhone, and the results really aren't too surprising.
First, Schiller said that he's a fan of the music recognition app Shazam. Shazam essentially allows you to hold up your iPhone to any source of music and the app will then tell you what song is playing and who sings it. It really works like magic and is a must-have for any iPhone and iPod Touch owner. Schiller noted of the app, "There's just something so amazing about being anywhere, and some music starts playing and you just hold up your phone and can find out what it is. You never again have to say 'That's a great song! Who is it by?"
Schiller also said he enjoys using the CNN news app and the well-designed Facebook app. Ironically, news of Schiller's adulation for the Facebook app comes weeks after the apps developer, Joe Hewitt, decided to abandon iPhone development alltogether due to what he felt were Apple's inconsistent app store policies.
Moving along, Schiller is a huge sports fan with a particular affinity for the Boston Redsox, and on that tip, Schiller said he uses the following sports apps on his iPhone MLB.com at Bat, NBA Game Time and ESPN ScoreCenter.
Schiller also manages to get a little bit of gaming in, and said he puts in some time playing Eliminate, a futuristic first person shooter, and geoDefense, "a retro-inspired, neon puzzle game."
And lastly, Schiller noted that he enjoys using Best Camera, a photography app that lets iPhone owners apply 14 cool filters and effects to their photos.
So now the question becomes, exactly what apps does the big boss man himself, Steve Jobs, enjoy using?

The Kansas University community can now easily find the safest place to park a car, the walking route where the fewest assaults occur, or the campus roads to avoid if you're concerned about getting a speeding ticket.
The KU Department of Public Safety has unveiled its newest tool — an Internet crime map — to inform the public about criminal activity on campus.
A link on the department's website takes users to www.crimereport.com, where with a few clicks you can create a map with icons giving the location — and details — of crimes reported at KU.
KU Public Safety Chief Ralph Oliver said the crime mapping was a logical step and a valuable public service for students and staff.
"We're always looking for ways for our statistics to get out to a more broader public," he said. "It's the wave of the future. ... Mapping is becoming a standard for communications."
Crime maps can be found on several police department websites, such as Topeka, Lenexa and Overland Park.
The Lawrence police department does not provide the community the service. Sgt. Bill Cory from the Lawrence police said crime mapping is something the agency has looked at before, but cost for such a service is a concern.
"We're always looking at new things," he said. "Sometimes it just boils down to how much it costs."
Oliver said the program they use costs "several thousand dollars per year," but with newer technologies, agencies such as the Topeka Police have found a way to map crime for free.
Crime analyst Jim Anderson at the Topeka Police said they've been using a free mapping program for three months from www.raidsonline.com, and have received positive community feedback.
"They like it," Anderson said, adding that the free program is also user-friendly for the department.
"It takes me five additional minutes (every day)," he said.
Timothy Hart, a criminal justice professor at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, said that while there aren't any statistics for how many agencies across the country do online crime mapping, the use of such maps is increasing nationwide.
Hart said that making that information easily available to the public fits in with a "community-oriented" police philosophy and helps keep the citizenry informed about their neighborhood.
"It's just another piece to the puzzle," he said.
While the technology has made it easier for police to post crime maps online, the idea of mapping crimes is centuries old, Hart said.
"It's been going on since cops have been putting pins in a map," he said.

What I talked to Hitachi was about the document ofWindows CE hardware they use and how to buy the semi-product called"Windows CE Reference Platform". As they said, "Windows CE ReferencePlatform" comes with hardware information of LCD, PCMCIA, Keyboard,and such, but it isn't intended to be platform for other operatingsystem except Windows CE, which is clealy stated by its name ;-). Itis intended to application programmer of Windows CE, thay said.As they ask me the purpose of getting "Windows CE Reference Platform",I honestly said that I'm thinking porting Linux to SH, and it seemsthat it is difficult (or not decided yet as it's the first case forthem) to sell it for other purposes. It could be "abuse".Currently I'm not sure if we could get the reference platform and itsinformation with no contract like NDA.Anyway, it would be good that people at Hitachi recognize thatLinux/SH is challenging target and it's fun if Linux runs on SH.I wish and hope that. > Btw, anyone know what palmtops use SH4?

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes the injury to Gael Clichy may put pressure on young defender Kieran Gibbs.
French left-back Clichy has been ruled out for at least a few weeks with stress fractures in his back meaning 20-year old Gibbs will have to step into his position starting tonight in the Champions League against AZ Alkmaar.
The fact that Gibbs is so inexperienced may mean he has a lot of pressure heaped on him during Clichy's absence which slightly concerns Wenger.
"We have lost Gael Clichy with a back injury, which was not expected. It looks like he could be out for a while," Wenger said.
"We fear a stress fracture of the back, and we will know more about that later, but if that is the case, he will be out for a few weeks.
"I still think it is a blow because I was very comfortable now to have a solution to rest Clichy when it was needed and play Gibbs.
"Now suddenly there is a huge stress on Gibbs to play in every game."

COLLEGE BASKETBALL; Huggins to Accept Buyout at Cincinnati
Published: August 25, 2005
Bob Huggins agreed Wednesday to step down as Cincinnati's men's basketball coach, ousted by a university president determined to change the program's image.
One day after Huggins was given a choice of resigning or being fired, he agreed to take a $3 million buyout of his contract. The university's offer includes a chance to stay for three more months to give advice on basketball recruits and related matters.
''We are working on the details of the agreement, which may or may not be finalized in the next 24 hours,'' said Richard Katz, Huggins's lawyer.
Huggins left Katz's office without comment, dressed in his black Cincinnati jacket, when no final deal was reached Wednesday.
The university sent Katz a letter earlier in the day outlining the $3 million buyout. The letter, obtained through a Freedom of Information request, offered Huggins $110,000 a month for the next three months to stay on and ease the coaching transition.
''His duties will include providing information about the current team, identifying and commenting upon potential recruits, and documenting his institutional memory of the basketball program during his 16-year coaching tenure,'' the letter said.
An interim coach has not been chosen. The university does not anticipate hiring a permanent replacement until after the 2005-6 season, its first in the Big East. The team will have a difficult time attracting recruits in the meantime.
Huggins, who won more games than anyone else in Cincinnati history, was forced out by Nancy Zimpher, an academically minded university president who does not like Huggins's history or philosophy.
Zimpher sent Huggins an ultimatum Tuesday, giving him 24 hours to take the buyout, stay in a capacity other than as basketball coach or be fired from the job.
Huggins's arrest and conviction for drunken driving last year dismayed Zimpher. She refused to extend his contract last May, setting the stage for his exit.
Under Huggins, the Bearcats made the Final Four and were ranked No. 1 for the first time in 34 years. They also developed a history of player arrests and violations that resulted in being put on probation by the National Collegiate Athletic Association in 1998.

OCN's Homepage Features Podcasts with Nativity Themes
Orthodox Christian Network is featuring several podcasts in the week leading up to Christmas, that focus on holiday themes. In "Teens and Technology," Dr. Ary Christofidis discusses the new dominance of tech toys under the Christmas tree, and looks at the potential pitfalls this can cause. In "Battling Over Nativity Scenes," the Just Thinking podcast with Fr. Chris Metropulos and journalist Terry Mattingly, discusses how Christmas for most is now defined by shopping and commerce. "Is there a better way for us to celebrate a Christmas filled with the Love of Christ rather than battling over where we place our Nativity Scenes?" they ask. "Message in our Christmas Carols," is a segment of the Theologically Thinking podcast, in which Fr. William Chiganos examines the messages found within the traditional Carols enjoyed in December. Other podcasts tackle the topics of stress, and recovering the joy and peace found in the faith.

|Painting from Marc Johns
09 April, 2013
Where is the Exit Sign?
White. A plain white shirt was always the safest colour to go with. He squinted in the mirror, tucking in his shirt into his jeans, as he patted down his hair. He had a good feeling about this one. He had known Veena for a few months now. He liked the way she looked. Not like the girls who seemed splattered all over Delhi, the ones who couldn't stop pirouetting and pouting like plastic playthings. He liked that she spoke her mind, though sometimes she could become unbearably bossy. But then which woman wasn't?
He counted the cash in his wallet and swore. Being jobless in Delhi was to belong to a strange class of people. The capital reeked of money and consumerism, its wicked temptations pursuing his weaknesses unabashedly. Friends made plans to go to the latest club he could ill afford, most girls expected him to pay for their coffee and those horrendously overpriced muffins they'd nibble a minuscule bit of and discard. "Women's lib was such hypocritical hogwash. They still want you holding the door open and paying the bills but not have an opinion, for that would be biased", he thought to himself as he wore his watch. He was in a mood he couldn't place, but it wasn't pretty. He felt uncomfortable, as if he had been holding his breath for too long and needed to exhale. Slowly. But there was no time for such things. "Need to run and catch the metro. Thank god she's picking me up in her car."
Gone were the days of enjoying the cool comforts of Delhi's modern metro, applauded as the best transport system in the country, the answer to Delhi's clogged roads and saviour of all things jammed. Now as he squeezed into the compartment, he instantly regretted wearing his white ironed shirt. But then he hadn't been out with a girl for so long now, the utter tragedy of that realisation alone demanded he wear his favourite white. He looked down at his worn out shoes and grinned in satisfaction. He didn't want to look like he was trying too hard.
Looking around he heard some men grunt over the recent introduction of a ladies compartment in the metro. They thought it was unfair. At the other end of the compartment, two young boys stood preening themselves by looking at their reflection in the window panes. They could pass off as twins with their gravity defying spiked hair and gravity kissing jeans. They were wearing those colourful shoes that were suddenly all the rage. He looked beyond them, through the window and saw the gigantic Hanuman statue rush past. Comforted by its familiarity, and disgusted by the utter redundancy of the useless conversations around him, he took out his iPod. Plugging in the earphones, he let Metallica take over. The restlessness around him for the past few months was reaching a crescendo. He had gone home to Kanpur a few weeks ago but that had done little to calm him. His father had disapproved of his giving up the well paying job to 'do something meaningful'.
His father, usually aloof and taciturn, had suddenly found a voice. "God knows what has happened to you youngsters these days. In our time we would get a job and stick to it. We would work hard to raise our family, send you kids to school, and pay for Dadiji's medicines. Yes, we often got bored but we had to take of our responsibilities. Not like you, just getting up and leaving when things get slightly uncomfortable."
His mother, who believed that everything could be cured with a good meal, hovered around him, carrying with her, an air of silent tragedy. Whenever he tried to talk to her about his plans of trying to figure out his 'direction', her eyes would threaten to turn moist and he'd hastily retreat into reticence. The only time she would become animated and verbose was at the mention of matrimony, a topic he had begun to abhor. Seeing no way of finding any space for thought at home, he had returned to the dusty cacophony of Delhi.
* * *
What was he doing here? Looking at the high ceilings and indecipherable artwork, he wondered how Veena had managed to get convince him to attend the latest exhibition at the National Gallery of Modern Art. She had gushed about circles and lines on the phone, how he would appreciate it if he really saw what the artist was seeing. Looking at the psychedelic patterns, he felt slightly cross-eyed and nauseous. Next, Veena wanted to pick up some books from Jain Book Depot. She ignored the broad counter with its bevy of somnolent salesmen, turgid with the ebbing heat of a summer evening, and made her way up to the little loft they had on top. He watched her as she gleaned through the bookshelves.
They chatted of common acquaintances and insignificant going ons. He looked at her and felt his brain implode. Sitting in front of her, he couldn't hear any words, her mouth moved rapidly and he was reminded of a disturbing short story he had read about a carnivorous Venus Flytrap. Shaking his head to get rid of these murmurs, he glugged down his rum and ordered another. He knew he could ill afford it but with a meltdown seeming alarmingly close, he needed something to soothe his senses. The music was too loud now and he was feeling hot around the collar. He decided to concentrate on the conversation and frowned in mock attentiveness.
"Oh I have been talking so much! Why don't you tell me something about yourself? I heard you quit your job! Who does that yaar, especially in these times when jobs are so tough to get. That too in Ernst and Young! E and Y man, you've got to be kidding me!"
Slowly, her words registered on the shifting sands of his mind. He smiled at her and made no effort to answer. He picked up his glass and took a large gulp. Then he closed his tired eyes and let the music wash over him.

The Revenge of Wen Jiabao
For Foreign Policy, John Garnaut takes an in-depth look at the thirty-year history between Premier Wen Jiabao, his mentor Hu Yaobang, and former Chongqing Party chief Bo Xilai, which culminated in the recent dramatic dismissal of Bo:
This October, the Communist Party will likely execute a once-in-a-decade leadership transition in which President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen hand over to a new team led by current Vice President Xi Jinping. The majority of leaders will retire from the elite Politburo Standing Committee, and the turnover will extend down through lower tiers of the Communist Party, the government, and the military. Wen hopes his words influence who gets key posts, what ideological course they will set, and how history records his own career.
Wen Jiabao and Bo Xilai have long stood out from their colleagues for their striking capacities to communicate and project their individual personalities and ideologies beyond the otherwise monochromatic party machine. The two most popular members of the Politburo, they are also the most polarizing within China's political elite. They have much in common, including a belief that the Communist Party consensus that has prevailed for three decades — "opening and reform" coupled with uncompromising political control — is crumbling under the weight of inequality, corruption, and mistrust. But the backgrounds, personalities, and political prescriptions of these two crusaders could not be more different.
Bo has deployed his prodigious charisma and political skills to attack the status quo in favor of a more powerful role for the state. He displayed an extraordinary capacity to mobilize political and financial resources during his four and a half year tenure as the head of the Yangtze River megalopolis of Chongqing. He transfixed the nation by smashing the city's mafia — together with uncooperative officials, lawyers, and entrepreneurs — and rebuilding a state-centered city economy while shamelessly draping himself in the symbolism of Mao Zedong. He sent out a wave of revolutionary nostalgia that led to Mao quotes sent as text messages, government workers corralled to sing "red songs," and old patriotic programming overwhelming Chongqing TV.
From his leftist or "statist" perch, Bo has been challenging the "opening and reform" side of the political consensus that Deng Xiaoping secured three decades ago. Wen Jiabao, meanwhile, who plays the role of a learned, emphatic, and upright Confucian prime minister, has been challenging the other half of Deng consensus — absolute political control — from the liberal right. He has continuously articulated the need to limit government power through rule of law, justice, and democratization. To do this, he has drawn on the symbolic legacies of the purged reformist leaders he served in the 1980s, particularly Hu Yaobang, whose name he recently helped to "rehabilitate" in official discourse. As every Communist Party leader knows, those who want a stake in the country's future must first fight for control of its past.
Meanwhile, the New York Times reports on how Bo's ouster is playing out among different factions of the Communist Party as the leadership prepares for a transition of power later this year:
…The ouster of Bo Xilai, the populist icon formerly in charge of the southwestern megacity of Chongqing, has spurred weeks of frenzied internal politicking and a rare dissenting vote within the Politburo Standing Committee, according to interviews with publishers, academics and analysts tied to the Communist Party's upper echelons or its powerful families.
They say that the outward calm is tenuous and was achieved only after China's leadership team of Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao appealed to party elders for support and yielded important posts in Chongqing to representatives of other influential political blocs.
"They want everyone to believe that the top level has no problem — that there's no split and no struggle," said Jin Zhong, publisher of the influential China-watching magazine Open, in Hong Kong. "But this is a false impression."
According to people briefed by central party officials, Mr. Bo is being confined to his house in Beijing, watched by the Central Guard Bureau, a unit of the People's Liberation Army under control of the party's General Office. He faces a disciplinary investigation over a range of allegations of corruption and abuse of power, these people say. His wife, a noted lawyer, is under more formal detention in connection with some of those allegations.

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) – New numbers are out in the race for the Missouri Senate seat. A News 4/St. Louis Post-Dispatch poll shows a shift in support for Todd Akin from a week ago.
It has been a week since Akin's remarks about "legitimate rape" and pregnancy and since then he has lost millions of campaign dollars and points in the polls. Currently, Akins is nine points behind Senator Claire McCaskill in a race that he was once leading.
The latest poll indicates more than half of Missouri voters now view Akin unfavorably. Seventeen percent of the voters view Akin as "favorable" compared to 56 percent who view him unfavorably. Twenty-four percent held a neutral view.
"Since the Republican leadership has been trying to drive him out of the race his strategy has been to turn him into the villain," Kevin McDermott, St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter, told News 4. "He's been referring to them as the party bosses and been saying things like 'help me defeat the party bosses.'"
Akin will not be attending the Republican National Convention being held in Tampa, Florida, but says he will continue his campaign for the Senate seat held by McCaskill.

On this day 25 years ago, I can only imagine that God woke up and said, "Ya know what? Let's see what would happen if I make a near seven-foot human who can play basketball like a 6-3 shooting guard; a man with enough natural talent to avoid any form of lifting until he becomes a seasoned pro." And then Kevin Durant was born.
Although he's not as physically dominating as LeBron, Durant poses as his biggest threat to the "Best Player Alive" Throne, and is the only player who makes shooting the basketball look as monotonous as tying shoes is to the normal human being. Durant has averaged 20-plus PPG since being drafted by what once was the Seattle Sonics. Boasting career averages of 26.6 PPG, 6.8 RBG and 3.1 APG, he is no doubt a bonafide superstar. He has also spent the last few seasons expanding his game; no longer is he just the best volume shooter, he now is a player capable of getting others involved as a playmaker, and even grabs a fair share of rebounds.
As the four-time All-NBA and All-Star selection enters his prime, Durant (along with teammate Russell Westbrook) is looking for his first NBA title this upcoming season. But before the season begins, let's celebrate KD's 25th birthday by looking at the Durantula's best moments. (On a quick side note: that nickname has to be on the NBA Mount Rushmore of worst nicknames, along with Joel Przybilla's "The Vanilla Gorilla.")
*** *** ***
25. MVP of the 2006 McDonald's All American Game
Back when he was a young'n, Durant first put the world on notice after putting up 25 points while only playing 18 minutes.
24. TEX vs. COL 2007
In his freshmen year at Texas, Durant looked like a man amongst boys, especially in this one. In a 102-78 Texas win, Durant finished with 37 points and 16 rebounds.
23. TEX vs. TEX TECH 2007
Sticking with the theme here, Durant put up another monster game of 37 and 23 rebounds in a 76-64 Longhorns win.
22. Big 12/NCAA Tournament
Although the Durant-led Longhorns were upset by USC in the second round, you can hardly place the blame on KD after he averaged 28.5 points and 9.6 rebounds with 12 blocks and 12 steals in five games (two NCAA plus three Big 12 Tournament games). Durant was simply dominant.
21. The College Awards
To save some room I'm grouping all of his awards into one (he has quite a few). He was voted Player of the Year by SI.com, ESPN.com and the Sporting News, AP Player of the Year, a bunch more… and finally the Naismith Award (the basketball equivalent to the Heisman): becoming the first freshman to ever win the award.

Adlib Audio's high profile festival season continued apace at Reading & Leeds, where they once again supplied full audio production - including over 90 JBL VerTec 4889 elements - and crew for the Radio 1/NME stage at the 2009 Reading/Leeds Festival. Identical systems were supplied to both Reading and Leeds sites. Adlib's crew chief for Leeds was Marc Peers, with James Neale looking after Reading, while Dave Jones co-ordinated both sites from the office in Liverpool.
This year - because of the huge popularity of the bands appearing at peak times including Florence & The Machine, Gossip, Faith No More, Lost Prophets and many more - there was the additional challenge of providing PAs for 3 IMAG video screens positioned outside both sides and at the rear of the tent. These enabled anyone not actually able to squeeze inside to see & hear the action and still enjoy the shows. These speakers also all had to be integrated into the main systems.
The main hangs inside were 10 VerTec VT4889s per side with 16 ground stacked VerTec 4880A subs. There were also two delay hangs of 3 VT4889s a side flown between the rear tent king poles with 4 stacks of L-Acoustics dv-DOSC for front infills and outfills.
Midas H3000 consoles were supplied for FOH, with Dolby Lake processing, dbx 160 compressors, Lexicon reverbs, Drawmer gates and a special rack of extras including Avalon valve compressors.
Onstage, monitor world was run via Yamaha PM5D consoles, with 20 Adlib MP3 wedges per stage, dv-SUBS for the drums and Nexo Alpha side fills. Adlib also supplied a full package of mics and stands to cover all eventualities. It was a flip-flop situation with the same line up alternating between sites, so the monitor show files for days 2 and 3 were emailed between the sites. When engineers arrived to mix their bands the next day, all their settings were pre-loaded and efficiently in place.
The PAs for the screens were ground stacked on 12 ft high platforms. The arrays were assembled on the ground on a fly bar and lifted into position by a tele-handler. The tent left and right screens featured 6 VT4889s per side, with 4 per side for the centre screen at the back of the tent.
Camco amps were used to drive all the VerTec high packs, with Labgruppen PLM14000s for the subs, PLM10000s for the monitors, and L-Acoustics LA8s powering the dv-DOSCs.
Marc Peers was also working as patch-master at Leeds, the rest of his team consisting of Richie Gibson (FOH/systems), Richy Nicholson (monitors/system), Michael Flaherty & Steve "Pato" Pattison (stage), with Jamie Moore taking care of the outside systems.
In Reading, joining James Neale were Hassane Es Siahi (FOH), Ben Booker (monitors), Ralph Jayne & Carlos Herreros (stage) with Simon Fuller working on the exterior elements. Due to the intensity of the schedule, the crew were all accommodated on site in crew buses.
Says Dave Jones, "It was great to be back working on this stage again, and having completed a run of leading events this year including T in the Park, Glastonbury, Latitude and V, we very much have a fluid festival workflow on the go".
The bank holiday weekend didn't stop at Leeds/Reading for Adlib, they also supplied sound systems and crew for 6 inner city stages at the core of Liverpool's Matthew Street Festival.

Mercedes Repair Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
I'd first try removing the auxiliary drive belt and turning every pulley and ancillary ( power steering pump , alternator etc) by hand. All should turn easily (with the exception of the AC pump) with no grittyness or wobbly pulleys- If you do find a sticky pump / alternator then it should be replaced or repaired
If the engine is stone cold you can briefly run it with no belts to see if the noise changes or has gone away, this will help show if an ancillary is the issue
Examine carefully the condition of the bottom / crank pulley as these are composite construction with a rubber element and its possible this rubber is breaking up and allowing the two metal portions to move.
Tried running without the serpentine belt before the turbo was changed and the noise was there. Definitely coming from around turbo/front engine area. Tried listening around with an engineers stethoscope and can't pin it down. High shrill squeal (similar to a failed water pump) when throttle blipped from idle to approx. 1500 rpm. Visual examination of the crankshaft pulley shows nothing, with the bottom covers removed I can see the pulley with the engine running and there is no deflection when the engine is revved.
I've had the stethoscope on the front cover and cam covers while having someone rev the engine and can't hear anything, plus there is no rattles or unusual noises when the engine is idling. Today I drove the car without putting any load on the engine and the noise was not present at any road speed, it only occurs when the engine is asked to work or revved from idle. I've also dropped all the plastic under body panels and had a good listen.

A woman and her 3-year-old son didn't appear to be seriously injured Sunday in a Lakewood car crash, but a Pomeranian died in the wreck, police said Monday.
An issue related to a seizure disorder caused the 25-year-old woman to pass out at the wheel at 9:45 a.m. while she was driving west on 100th Street Southwest by Gravelly Lake Drive Southwest, Lakewood police said.
The car jumped the curb and broke through the fence of the nearby elementary school and came to rest on its roof on the lawn.
The mother and her child did not seem seriously injured, police said, but were taken to the hospital to be evaluated.
A Pomeranian hit the windshield during the crash and was killed, police said.

|Activities, activities and more activities
"A poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom."
-Robert Frost
Since the dawn of time, the natural environment has inspired people to express their feelings in poetry. Poetry is also a creative outlet for expressing feelings about any aspect of the environment, including how people feel about environmental problems such as deforestation, air pollution, and population.
Poetry can also help build language skills and the ability to express ends in wisdom feelings through writing. There are many ways to help your students appreciate poetry and write poetry. To start off, you might want to have your students write simple verse, such as Japanese haiku or cinquain. Both help capture impressions of nature and the environment using adjectives and expressive action verbs.
A HAIKU is a Japanese form of verse with three lines. The first and third lines have five syllables and the second line has seven. One idea behind haiku is that it captures the writer's first reaction to something in nature, such as a sunset, a waterfall, or a flying bird. Here's an example of a wind haiku:
Gentle, caressing
Soft breeze plays among birch leaves
Friendly wind blowing
CINQUAIN is another type of poetry that your students can try. The word comes from the French and Spanish term for five. Cinquain consists of five lines, each of which has a special purpose. Here's the basic form of cinquain
* first line states the title in two syllables
* second line describes the title in four syllables
* third line describes action in six syllables
* fourth line expresses a feeling in eight syllables
* fifth line restates the title in two syllables.
Here's an example of cinquain poetry
Warm and flowing
Makes flowers and limbs sway
Always touching and surrounding
Rippling, raging
Swirling funnel of death
Struggling against the violence
There are, of course, many other types of poetry, including rhyming poetry, limericks, free verse, and so on. We've included three examples of poetry about the environment. The first is rhyming verse that focuses on water pollution, the second explains what picture poetry is all about and how your students can create their own, and the third is an example of a diamante-- a poem shaped like a diamond. We've also included a poetry activity that includes a reference sheet of different poetry styles.
1. AWAY WITH WASTE, reprinted from Ranger Rick's NatureScope: Pollution--Problems and Solutions published by the National Wildlife Federation (1990).
2. PICTURE POETRY, reprinted from Ranger Rick's NatureScope: Trees Are Terrific published by the National Wildlife Federation ( 1985) .
3. SHADES OF MEANING, adapted from Project Learning Tree, published by the American Forest Council and the Western Regional Environmental Education Council. Includes examples developed during an environmental education workshop held in Botswana in December 1991.
4. POETRY TRAIL, reprinted from Focus on Forests: A Resource Manual for Intermediate and Senior Teachers on Forests and Forest Arrangement, published by the Ministry of Natural Resources, Toronto, Ontario ( 1989) .
OBJECTIVES: Describe some of the ways people pollute waterways. Describe some of the effects of water pollution.
AGES: Primary. intermediate
SUBJECTS: Science, language arts, art
MATERIALS: Story on the following page, drawing paper, crayons or markers, construction paper (optional), stapler (optional), glue (optional)
By listening to a rhyming story about water pollution in one community, your kids can discover how pollution can affect waterways. They'll also discover that the waste we wash "away" can have harmful effects later on.
Before reading the story, ask the kids to name some of the ways they use water (for drinking, bathing, brushing teeth, cleaning clothes and dishes, and so on). Then ask them what happens to the water that drains out of their washing machines and dishwashers or washes down their sinks. (Don't worry whether the kids know the answer at this point. You'll be discussing what happens to household water with them after they hear the story.) Explain that many people never think about what happens to the water they use in their households each day. They also don't think about what happens to the water that runs off their streets and yards.
Next tell the kids you're going to read them a story about a town called "Away" and about how people in the town polluted the water in a nearby bay without realizing what was happening. Tell the kids to listen carefully to the story to find out just how the water in the bay became polluted. Also tell them to listen for the word "away." Each time they hear it they should make a "hitch-hiking" motion over their shoulder with their thumb to represent something going away.
After you read the story, discuss it with the kids. Ask them if waste from Away simply disappeared. ( no) What happened to the waste? ( it ended up in the bay) Then go over the verses in the first half of the story to be sure the kids understood what was happening in each one. Use the information under "Where Did It Go?" on the next page to help with the discussion.
Afterward pass out crayons or markers and drawing paper and have the kids draw pictures of the story. They might draw the people in the town, the bay when it was polluted, or the bay when it was cleaned up again. If you're working with older kids, you might want to have them create their own picture books of the story. Pass out copies of page 189 and have the kids draw a picture to go along with each verse of the story. Then have them glue their pictures on sheets of construction paper, copy the words of each verse onto the pages, and staple the pages together.
DOWN THE DRAIN: When most people in the U.S. rinse something down their drain, flush their toilet, or do a load of wash, the waste water goes to sewage treatment plants to be purified. These plants remove dirt, biodegradable material such as food waste, and many other pollutants from the water before the water is dumped into waterways. But most plants can't remove all the chemical pollutants. For example, chemicals that are used in paint thinners and phosphates that are used in many detergents pass right through some sewage treatment plants.
OFF THE STREETS: Oil, dirt, litter, and anything else that's on
the streets washes into storm drains. In most areas of the country, these drains
empty into a series of underground pipes that eventually
dump directly into waterways.
INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION: Factories that make chemicals, paper, medicines, steel, and many other products can create a lot of pollutants. At one time, industries could legally dump waste into waterways. But pollution control laws now limit the materials that industries can dump in surface water. These controls have greatly reduced water pollution. However, not all the types of industrial waste are regulated. In addition, some experts feel that some of the regulations are not strict enough to protect aquatic systems.
TRASHING THE WATER: When trash gets thrown overboard it can create an ugly mess--both in the water and on shore after it's washed up. Trash can also harm or even kill wildlife. For example, thousands of sea birds and marine mammals die each year after eating or becoming entangled in plastic debris floating in the ocean.
This is the tale of a town called Away -
A town that was built on the shore of a bay.
A town where the folks didn't think much about
What they dumped in their water day in and day out.
For one thing, a sink was an excellent place
To get rid of messes and not leave a trace.
Cleansers and cleaners and yesterday's lunch
Went away down the drain with a gurgly crunch.
At everyone's house there was laundry to do.
Day after day, how those laundry piles grew!
Load after load was washed, rinsed, and spun
And away went the water when each load was done.
On Main Street each day there were sidewalks to sweep.
The litter and dirt were swept into the street.
And then when it rained, everything washed away
Into drains in the roads that dumped into the bay.
A mill there made "stuff" for the townfolks to use,
But a pipe from the mill churned out oodles of ooze.
And the ooze, well it goozed from the pipe to the bay
Where it bubbled and glubbed as it drifted away.
When the weather was warm, it was always a treat
To sail on the bay and bring picnics to eat.
But when folks were finished, they'd toss all their trash
Overboard and away with a plop and a splash.
Then folks started seeing that things weren't quite
The bay had become an unbearable sight.
Beaches were covered with garbage and glop
That rolled in with the waves - and the waves didn't stop.
The fish in the bay all seemed sluggish and sick,
The algae was everywhere - slimy and thick.
The birds near Away were all suffering too,
'Cause the fish they were eating were covered with goo.
So a meeting was called to discuss the sick bay
And townspeople came from all parts of Away.
And during the meeting one person proclaimed,
"I know who's at fault: We all should be blamed."
"For years we've washed chemicals, dirt, and debris
Down our sinks, off our streets, and out pipes - so you see,
Although we all thought that our waste went away,
It all ended up going into the bay."
"Now the bay is a mess - full of trash, soap, and goop,
The water's turned green - like a bowl of pea soup.
And our wildlife is sick from the garbage and grime;
The bay needs our help, right now while there's time."
The folks were all silent - they knew it was true.
And they realized now what they all had to do.
It was time to get busy - the bay couldn't wait.
If they didn't act now, it might soon be too late.
So they signed an agreement that very same minute
To care for the bay and to stop putting in it
The stuff that had made the bay icky and ill,
Like soaps that pollute and the ooze from the mill.
They also agreed to stop dumping their trash
Overboard and away with a plop and a splash.
And all of their efforts have been a success:
Today the bay's clean and no longer a mess.
And that is the tale of the town called Away -
A town where the people, to this very day,
Remember a saying that's simple and plain:
Nothing just goes away when it's washed down the drain. <
OBJECTIVES: Describe what picture poetry is. Write a picture poem about trees.
AGES: Intermediate, advanced
SUBJECT: Language arts
MATERIALS: Chalkboard or easel paper, drawing paper, pencils, crayons or markers
Trees are terrific subjects for poems. And picture poetry is especially fun for kids because the poem's words form a picture of what the poem is about.
Before you get started, copy the picture poem on page 191 onto a chalkboard or large piece of easel paper. Then ask the kids if they can think of words that describe trees. (List the words they come up with in a place where everyone can see them.) The list might include the words towering, huge, musty, mossy, slippery, gnarled, twisted, knobby, rough, bumpy, smooth, witchlike, dead, skinny, and so on. (You might want to take the kids outside and let them look at several trees and feel their bark.)
Now tell the kids that when we hear or read descriptive words that make pictures in our minds, we say that the words are a form of imagery. For example, have the kids imagine "an old tree by the side of a road." Ask them what they imagined. Then have the kids try to picture "a gnarled tree whose long branches bend over a road like huge arms." Ask them how the second tree they imagined was different from the first. Explain that the second sentence created a more precise image because it described the tree in more detail and used more descriptive words.
Next explain that words can also be written so that they form a picture right on the page itself. Then point to the picture poem you copied. Ask the kids if the poem would be as much fun to read if it were just written across the page instead of in the form of a picture. Talk about how some of the words (for example, flutter, float and drift) are written in a way that describes their meaning.
Now have the group make up their own tree picture poems. Be sure to explain that the words in their poems can rhyme if they want them to but that they don't have to rhyme. Also, the lines don't have to be a certain length, and punctuation isn't necessary. The kids just have to form a picture with the words that they write.
OBJECTIVES: Use a poetic form to explore a spectrum of ideas related to natural resources.
AGES: Intermediate
SUBJECTS: Language arts, humanities
MATERIALS: Paper, pencils
Ask the students to write a diamante (a poem shaped in the form of a diamond) having something to do with natural resources and that demonstrates that words are related through shades of meaning from one extreme to the opposite extreme. For example, "birth" and "death" are two words that can serve to represent opposites. Any words the students choose will have either literal or metaphoric meanings related to natural resources, or both.
green bright
The words chosen should match the following pattern of parts of speech:
adjective adjective
participle participle participle
noun noun noun noun
participle participle participle
adjective adjective
Suggested pairs of words with opposite meaning might include:
OBJECTIVE: Write various types of poetry in a forest setting.
AGES: Intermediate, advanced
SUBJECTS: Language arts
MATERIALS: Clipboards, pencils, activity sheets, thesaurus
Take the class outdoors. Designate four different writing stations within the area. It could be four spots within an evergreen forest, in a grassy field, under the willows, in a woodlot, or in a city park. Provide each student with a copy of the activity sheet on page 195. Divide students into four groups and send each to a different writing station.
At each location, have students use one specific sense to explore the area and develop a list of descriptive words based on that sense. For example, if they choose the sense of touch, a student may write down words like "rough," "sharp," "warm," or "cool." Then have them write one of the types of poems listed on pages 193-194 using this vocabulary (The poetry may be directly or indirectly associated with trees and forests.) Encourage students to use a different sense and a different poetry style at each station.
At set times, rotate the groups so they have a chance to write at all the stations. Once all stations have been visited by all groups, share some of the poems as a class. Have your students pick at least five new words from a thesaurus and write a poem that summarizes the day's experiences.
Using slide film, take several pictures at each station. Have students prepare a forest slide show based on these pictures and their poetry.
ACROSTIC: Verses where the first letters of each line name someone or something or convey a special message. For example:
= birds
ALLITERATION: Verses where all the words begin with the same
For example:
Two tall trees try to touch tenderly.
Five freaky frogs fight fearlessly.
HAIKU: A form of Japanese poetry that follows a structured
For example:
Line 1: 5 syllables Soft wings fluttering
Line 2: 7 syllables Bright colors flying through air
Line 3: 5 syllables Lovely butterfly
WINDSPARKS: Verses with the following pattern:
Line 1: "I dreamed"
Line 2: "I was" someone or something
Line 3: Where
Line 4: Action
Line 5: How
For example:
I dreamed

I was poison ivy
I was a leaf

R.I.P Mate
Spare a moment or two to to think about the wife and daughter of PC Jon Henry, murdered on duty yesterday 11th June in Luton, Bedfordshire.
Jon joins the list of British officers killed in the line of duty.
Before it was known that Jon had died an early news release on the BBC website quoted a 'police spokesman' as saying that it wasn't known whether the officer was wearing a stab-proof vest at the time but that 'all officers are issued with stab-proof vests, but it is their choice whether to wear it'.
I suspect I am not the only one who was absolutely appalled at that comment; before it was publicly announced that he had died, Bedfordshire Police appeared to be absolving itself of any responsibility. If that's not an example of crass insensitivity, I don't know what is.

The short story: emacs is broken at the moment. Your change allows emacs to get past the configure stage (hooray!), but now it fails when linking temacs. It's doing: cc ... -o temacs pre-crt0.o /usr/lib/crt0.o ... and then failing because /usr/lib/crt0.o ends up on the link line twice and results in multiply defined symbols like the dl*() functions. From what I can tell, 1.4 pkgsrc also had this, but that worked. I'm about to build the 1.4 version again and see what happens. If I leave the /usr/lib/crt0.o of the "cc" command line it works, but I don't know if that breaks other ports... More news when I figure out more. There's still a problem (since before 1.4) on the pmax that if you start emacs with your display set, it dumps core. It works however in tty mode. Even better, gdb dumps core when you try to run it on emacs (even without a core file on the command line). Simon.

If it's simplicity you want, just make this the last line of your script:
This early in your lessons it is probably sufficient to say that this tells perl to wait for something to be typed, and that will have the effect of holding the window open for you. When you have finished admiring your output, just hit Enter, thereby giving the program some input and the window will close. There are lots of other ways to do what you want, like use one of many GUI toolkits or IDEs, but this is certainly simple and cheap!
Besides, I think you may find after some time that despite the shell being "old fashioned", it is often a far better environment to work in!
