Mordecai Richler - Solomon Gursky Was Here
23 July 1989
Solomon Gursky Was Here
Mordecai Richler
Chatto & Windus
Published in The Age
Mordecai Richler is the Great Novelist of my adolescent imagination: a lugubrious wit, smoker, drinker, and Jew; a conventional but perfect stylist. Here he has assembled a century-long plot which embraces the dark and sweeping themes of poverty, greed, death, marriage and like catastrophes. He is unarguably a Big Picture man.
Wrestling this novel to the ground takes about a week out of your life. (It took five years out of Richler's.) You need to concentrate consistently, just to assimilate its numerous characters, its leap-frogging chronology, and the many lines which come at you out of the sunset.
It's about the Gursky family - Jewish emigres to Canada's frozen wastes in the middle of last century - whose male progenitor, Ephraim, is regarded as a holy man by the Eskimos. His protege and grandson, Solomon, also does well in the north: he seduces unseduceable women (a straight-laced Christian frump who bashes the servants, for instance; and the glorious Clara Teitelbaum, daughter of the most respected Jewish family in town), has astonishing poker wins, founds a liquor empire during Prohibition, learns how to subvert politicians, and is thus able to forget about abiding by their laws for the rest of his life. After Solomon's premature death in 1934, the empire passes to his two brothers (one avaricious, the other ineffective) and their mostly revolting offspring.
The lives of the Gurskys and their associates are, however, affected by strange occurrences right down to the 1980s: an anonymous party buys a strategic interest in the company's shares; the odd good apple is looked after by a surprise benefactor; Moses Berger, a researcher of information on Solomon, is steered in gradually more fruitful directions. Clearly an Invisible Hand is at work. Did Solomon after all survive his 1934 air crash, and is he - even in his seventies and eighties - manipulating the fortunes of the lesser mortals he left behind? If so, which of the book's dark horses is his contemporary persona? Or is he an intangible, spiritual being? Or reincarnated? Or even the Messiah himself? All these and more are signalled as possibilities. Which means that the book sometimes skates close to the clammy waters of mystical clap-trap: on rare occasions the ice breaks and in it goes.
But for the most part Solomon Gursky Was Here is not merely credible, but rivetting. Also - in this age which has all but entrenched the law-abiding "average" in human behavior - it is deeply life-affirming. For example Solomon and his brother, Bernard, realise that parliaments, and the publicity-seeking buffoons who inhabit them, are there for one reason: to be bought. (This may now be a big business truism - but these men were pioneers.) Solomon does this with good humour and, within the possibilities of the system, ethically. Bernard is a money-grubber and bully. Jealous of his infinitely more talented brother, he eventually engineers Solomon's downfall.
Solomon conditions the story (most of which takes place without him) as a memory, a patriarch, an archetype. Bernard, his inferior on every count, hates him: for the rest of his life Solomon sits like a rock in the black water of his soul.
The story comes together, very slowly, like a massive puzzle. One strand moves backwards in time, another forwards. Its interminable cross-referencing - across centuries, between myths, between metaphor and reality - borders on the bewildering. This is a massive 23-course Chinese meal of a novel, the length and complexity of which is quite eccentric. Had Richler been an Antipodean nobody (as opposed to an esteemed Canadian) it may well have attracted rejection slips and patronising notes from Australian publishers across the board.
The structure of Solomon Gursky Was Here is elaborate but impeccable. (Among other things, Richler moves between scenes with a strange facility - using an equivalent of the cinematic jump cut.) The dialogue is...well, name your superlative: it glows like a diamond against the teeming coalface he has conjured out of the Jewish mind, and the abysmal depths of human personality.
It's easy to see why the author can no longer bear to talk about the book. It's also easy to see where the five years went. I would be pressed to name a subject that Solomon Gursky Was Here does not at least touch on. (For example it sets foot on every continent, and cross-compares nearly every major religious myth since the Chaldeans.)
Most consistently, perhaps, it creates a comprehensive picture of the ways in which the diasporic "Jewboys" (as they are still called in Australian business circles) do - and don't - fit into their host cultures. But this novel's quintessentially Jewish themes - God, commerce and despair - are dealt with without even a nod of respect to the liberal myth of our time: it lacks even a trace of politeness. Possibly only a Jew could have got away with it.
I'd better wind down with a joke. This book's jokes are especially good. They give the impression of having been carefully collected over some time, and inserted in the story where they will do least violence to its spirit. (Like the book's considerable miscellany, they do not always arise out of that spirit.) My own favourite is stuck into a dialogue between Moses Berger (the Gursky researcher) and Lucy (his lover, and Solomon's daughter) - a conversation to which it is quite irrelevant. But it is far from irrelevant to contemporary Melbourne:
Q: What's the difference between a rooster and a lawyer?
A: A rooster clucks defiance.

|Proud and (over)confident Level 2 Mingo, ready to take on the City of the Ancients!
I decided to go with one of the early, "easier" missions: "Seal the Void Gate." After a cursory read I saw that in this mission you search through the mines for two Clue Tokens. The first Clue Token represents your discovery of the 'lost posse' who had a magic book (let's call it the Necronomicon) they were going to use to seal a Void Gate in the mines. Then you are supposed to continue exploring until you reach a second Clue Token, at which point you find the Void Gate and have to close it. Easy peasy.
However, just a few steps in I found a random Void Gate in the mines. Checking the scenario it says to ignore all Void Gates to other dimensions, but where's the fun in that? I desperately wanted to see what the City of the Ancients tiles were like, so I decided to alter the mission goals just a tiny bit. I mean, what if the lost posse had gone through the Void Gate and died there, and the Necronomicon is just on the other side? Seems foolish not to check it out, just in case...
|Magic portals in underground haunted mines? I'm sure a quick look won't hurt...
I pulled the world card for the Targa Plateau and found it to be a very harsh place, and I took quite a few wounds from rolling 1's as I stomped through the snow.
|Blah blah blah...wait, double the chances of free Grit?! Count me in!
|I'll just check out these levers and buttons over here...
The Snow Terror was not only an extra-tough SOB, but the Terror effect it has makes it blast your Sanity every round. That constant sanity needling is almost worse than its obscene damage value or defense capability.
|Even one Snow Terror is a pretty major opponent for a low-level solo character.
|Hack hack hack.
|The loot take from that battle seemed pretty lame at the time, but that sole piece of Dark Stone became a game-changer later on.
|Hooray! I found the book. This is going to be easy...
Crap. You have to battle a combat at one threat level higher than you. (to represent what killed the previous team, I guess.) There are four separate Threat decks in the game (Low, Med, High, and Epic) that correlate to the number of players. Well, One Threat Level Higher (Med) resulted in a bunch of Void Spiders jumping down and going to town on poor Mingo.
|But wait...Revive Tokens!
|Basically they're 1-ups.
|Surprise suckers!
|Actual armor. Sweet.
Armor is pretty rare. Its a last-ditch save against an attack, but with armor you have to roll for each point of damage you take, rather than against the whole attack (like you do with your Defense attribute).
Here's a quick example of how Combat (and Armor) works:
- The Snow Terror has Combat 3, Melee 5+, and Damage 4.
- When The Snow Terror attacks Mingo, it rolls 3 dice (Combat 3). For every 5 or higher it rolls (Melee 5+), Mingo takes a Hit .
- Mingo's Defense is 4+.
- Mingo then can roll his Defense save for each hit he takes. So if Mingo took two Hits, he rolls two dice. For every 4 or higher he rolls (Defense 4+), he negates one of the hits from the Snow Terror. For every Hit he doesn't negate he takes 4 wounds (Damage 4).
- So if Mingo rolled bad and didn't negate either of those Hits, then he would take 8 Damage. Since he's only got 13 Health, that would be bad.
- But Armor gives you one last-ditch save after all that!
- So if Mingo took 8 damage but has his Deflection Armor (Armor 4+), then he can roll 8 dice. For every 4 or higher rolled he negates one point of damage.
After finding that sweet Armor, I decided to do a little scavenging around the map, and sure enough came upon another pimpin' Targa Artifact, the Plasma Arc Rifle!
|Ohhhhh yeah...
But all that scavenging meant I was rolling (and failing) more and more "Hold Back the Darkness" rolls. You have to make a check at the beginning of every turn to keep the "Evilness marker" from moving down the "Darkness Tracker." If it reaches the end, you fail. Also as it moves it generates 'Growing Dread' and 'Darkness' cards that are always bad for you. Eventually I got a Darkness card that made rolling the "Hold Back the Darkness" even more difficult, and I realized I should head back to the Mines and use the Necronomicon to seal that Void Gate I came through and finish the mission (I decided since it was the only gate around, that's the one I'll seal).
|See that +2 Move? That also became important later.
|Get a move on, little doggie!
Welp, with the help of my new found speed-boost I made it back through the Void Gate and into the Mines in no time (and just considered that my "Clue #2" token -- it was a work night, after all), so at that point I looked up the entry for what you do when you reach the Void Gate that you want to seal with the Necronomicon.
The instructions say you have to deal with all the Growing Threat cards first, and then draw an Epic Threat card and defeat all the enemies.
...*blink blink*...
Epic? Even for a solo character?
Yup. There's no modifier on the paragraph. It says Epic Threat. Looking through the other missions, they just about all say the that you have to defeat an Epic Threat before you can win any of the missions. No ifs, and's, or buts about it. 100% of the time you've got to face an Epic Threat. Everything else in the game is scaled to how many players, except the final step of every mission. Seems like a design oversight, in my opinion. But who am I to argue? I reached down and drew an Epic Threat card.
|Seriously regretting that solo jaunt into the Mines now.
|Look at the amount of Health they have! LOOK AT IT!
Remember that Darkstone Shard that Mingo found in that first encounter? Well this is where he fed it into that Deflection Armor Artifact he found and charged up his personal shields.
In a hope of clearing out the Void Spiders quickly, Mingo let loose with his new fancy-schmancy Plasma Arc. It works pretty well at hitting hordes of enemies, except it doesn't allow for critical hits, which makes it nearly useless for high-defense baddies.
|Brrzzzzzap! Die Spiders! Be tickled, everyone else!
|Even swampy Kheogum's Ointment only kept Mingo going one extra round.
|Last Revive token. Next death and Mingo's finished!
|Mary comes to the rescue.
|A Level 2 Outlaw with Shotgun and Dynamite is just what the Mingo ordered.
|Hey there pardner, I'll be your Huckleberry.
|Clementine Sureshot distracting the Goliath...with a shotgun.
Now all Mingo had to do was make his Escape roll...
|Ding! A 6! Suck it monsters, Mingo's outta here!
|Mary throws one last dynamite at the Goliath as we sprint out of the mines.
|"Uhhhh...so, I'll pay you back some other time?"
|The heroic rescue of a damsel in distress.

Ask your favorite typophile about the difference between Arial and Helvetica, and you're sure to regret it… unless you have a latent appreciation for the differences between font faces, the attention given to kerning and hinting, and more. But ask them what's the difference between Tahoma and Verdana, and you might just be surprised by the ensuing silence. Yet, these are two of the most popular online fonts, and have aged significantly well considering they share corporate roots with Comic Sans and Arial.1 If any fonts ever deserved scrutiny and attention, it's these two.
Here are two lines of text, one in each of the two fonts in question:
Aside from the appalling hinting obvious in the second line,2 there are some uncanny likenesses between the two. While it's hard to point out any structural differences between the characters, this image actually gives us our first major hint as to the difference between these two popular fonts: the second sample is somewhat heavier, almost as if it were a "Tahoma Medium" rather than a different font altogether.
The differences don't stop there, however. Solely factoring in the width of the strokes in the Verdana font sample does not account for the extra word's worth of x-spacing taken up by the second line. If we drop the size of the Verdana sample down to 10.5pt from the original 11, we get characters with approximately the same width as those in the Tahoma sample, making it clear that the variations in linewidth stem from a different reason:
Before we dig deeper into the differences between the two fonts, let's take a step back and explore their origins and design motivations. Both Verdana and Tahoma were introduced in Windows 95, as part of the collection of fonts commissioned by Microsoft for "the new PC era," and designed by the legendary Matthew Carter of Georgia3 fame and then hinted to pixel perfection by Tom Rickner of Monotype.
The purpose of this commission was to create a package of fonts that could be used for a variety of purposes sharing a common theme: rendered/displayed on a computer screen rather than in print. The Microsoft-commissioned package of fonts was one of the first – if not the very first – attempts at creating fonts optimized for display rather than print; addressing issues such as legibility, kerning, letter spacing, and more as affected by the nature of the medium displaying them and its salient characteristics, such as a low DPI, a different reading distance, zero literal ink bleed, and pixels formed of individual RGB subpixel components.4
To that end, Matthew's final package included both a serif font (none other than the beautiful Georgia) as well as the two sans serif fonts we are looking at today. What's curious is that these two are essentially the same font, just adjusted for on-screen legibility differently (or, perhaps more accurately, to a different extent). To illustrate just how similar these two fonts are, here's the letter
a as it appears in both, superimposed atop of one another:
We can immediately see that they're so similar, it's not even funny. The biggest difference between the two samples is in their width; at 12pt the letter
a is 0.072″ in Tahoma, while at the same point size it comes in at 0.077″ instead (or 7% wider). In fact, here's what they look like when the Verdana sample is scaled in the x-direction down to 93.5% of its original:
As far as how the characters themselves were designed, this is the last difference between the two fonts: Tahoma's characters are drawn with a shade smaller counters when compared to their Verdana counterparts.
Counters are part of the design elements of a typeface, and refer to the negative space formed by the connecting of strokes in a character. Here's the counter for the
a from Tahoma:
While both the Tahoma and Verdana samples in the last last specimen above start off in the top-left corner pixel-for-pixel identical, the downwards stroke of the letter
a gains a hair's width as it becomes fully perpendicular to the x-axis, and retains this extra width the rest of the way down:
The same can be seen in the bowl of the letter
a, where the leftmost stroke in the Tahoma sample inches inwards, reducing the radius of the bowl ever so slightly, then coming back in to connect with the stem just a pixel or two higher than the Verdana sample does (while having gone back to the same stroke width), also reducing the size of the counter in the process:
While that just about covers the difference between the characters of these two fonts, there's one final piece of the puzzle left. We come back full circle to the text samples in the opening paragraph and the difference in the line length between the Tahoma and Verdana samples, a difference not wholly accounted for by the differences in stroke size or the horizontal scale of the individual letters: the tracking.
Here we can finally see clearly the biggest difference between these two typefaces. With the individual characters in the Verdana sample scaled down to 93% of their initial width, the only non-negligible difference between the two fonts is now their letter spacing: Verdana's characters are spaced considerably farther apart than those of Tahoma. While they start off nicely lined up at the
s, the situation deteriorates significantly from there, until the
l in Verdana's
sample is superimposed on top of the
e from the Tahoma text.
We've already discussed the various factors that contribute to legibility on a computer display, and it's a fairly straightforward exercise to come up with individual features or characteristics of a display that would lead it to benefit in legibility by increasing the tracking5 of the letters. What's not clear is the impetus that would lead to both of fonts being chosen for inclusion with Windows 95 and making their way into web and PC history. If these are two font faces that are structurally and aesthetically identical for all intents and purposes, why ship with two (extremely) different letter trackings? If one tracking has superior legibility when it comes to on-screen displays, why include the other?
The answer to that question can be found in a Typophile column titled Georgia & Verdana: Typefaces designed for the screen (finally) by Daniel Will-Harris,6 who interviewed Simon Earnshaw, then a typographer working at Microsoft:
The Verdana family started in early Summer 94 as a two font typeface (Tahoma), designed by Matthew Carter and hinted by Tom Rickner, to be used as a system font for Windows 95.
To make the fonts work in extended text settings, it was necessary to open up the counters more, widen the advance widths and loosen the spacing. Thus Verdana was born; effectively the more generous cousin of Tahoma.
And there you have it, straight from the horse's mouth. Tahoma is the original and Verdana was created to specifically optimize for certain requirements that required enhanced legibility, perhaps, as some would say, even at the cost of aesthetics.
As for what these "extended text" settings might include, it's hard to say for sure based off of what little Earnshaw has given us to work with; but just from what we know about how window forms are drawn under Windows, it's likely a reference to the difference between text-heavy ("extended text") and text-light regions. Unlike, say, a book, a system UI has quite the mix of design elements and features text in a lot of distinct settings. In places, text resembles a newspaper headline, while in others comparisons to the body of a chapter book would be more apt.
Today there remains little resemblance to the original world of on-screen text as it existed in 1994. High DPI screens are everywhere, and the world of font hinting has moved from the original monochrome hinting approach to first greyscale aliasing then color aliasing with ClearType under Windows Vista,7, and now hardware-accelerated text rendering with advanced capabilities like infinitely variable stroke widths with the new OTF variable sized fonts feature when rendered with Direct2D/DirectWrite under Windows 10.8
So between these two fonts, which should you use? To this writer's eye's, Tahoma certainly has better aesthetics, and it has been continuously extended with a richer character set and more symbols, while Verdana has somewhat languished over the years. Perhaps more importantly, the type hinting for Verdana seems somewhat lackluster, suggesting it may have been skipped over or given only the meagerest of attention from Microsoft's typography division when it came to updating the fonts' hinting to play nicer with ClearType and DirectWrite/Direct2D. And yet, some have a preference for the (extreme) bias towards legibility that Verdana presents, and given the right setting, it can certainly be a worthy choice. It's your call.
So do you think you can spot the difference in this final test? Verdana's spacing and horizontal scale has been adjusted to match that of Tahoma – but can you tell which is which?
Just to name two fonts that designers love to hate. ↩
There is also bound to be additional hinting due to the complexities of Direct2D/DirectWrite text rendering, which takes into account the monitor, resolution, DPI, and actual pixel arrangement; some or all of which likely differ between the environment where the screenshot was taken and your PC viewing this image right now. ↩
Being, in the humble opinion of this writer, one of the most excellently designed, superbly hinted, and well balanced general-purpose fonts available today, all these years later. If you haven't come across Georgia Pro before, you should take a look at it. It supplements Georgia with all the missing widths and some additional symbols, making it a great font to layout text with. ↩

Hunter: Return to Justice (2002)
Directed by Bradford MayGenres - Action | Sub-Genres - Police Detective Film | Run Time - 95 min. | Countries - USA |
Share on
Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Hunter: Return to Justice is the second made-for-TV movie based on the popular cop series Hunter, which originally ran from 1984 to 1991. Fred Dryer returns to the role of LAPD detective Rick Hunter, whom, as we soon discover, may be older but is no mellower. In fact, the film begins with a burst of gunplay that would put Dirty Harry to shame. As the result of a bad drug bust which cost the lives of a few innocent civilians, Hunter is put "on leave" by the department and advised to take a good long rest. He heads down to San Diego, current home of his former police partner, Dee Dee McCall (Stephanie Kramer), now the fiancée of fabulous, wealthy mayoral candidate Roger Prescott (Sam Hennings). If Hunter truly expects any R&R, he is in for a shock: Prescott turns out to be an ex-KGB agent, placing himself and Dee Dee in the cross-hairs of the Russian mafia. Filmed almost entirely on location, Hunter: Return to Justice played to excellent ratings when it first aired November 16, 2002, on NBC.

I think one of the biggest problems with the trailer is most of the time is spent looking at clips from the first movie before the action kicks in. That being said, the graphics and action, look fantastic.
Now if I only had the skills needed to play a video game like this well, I'd pick this one up.

Skin Discoloration in Lima, OH
Vein disease can cause both medical and cosmetic issues for patients, including skin discoloration. If you live in Lima, Celina or the greater Auglaize County, OH, area and are experiencing skin discoloration, contact us at the Vein Care Center for an evaluation. Dr. Manu B. Aggarwal, MHSA, MD, is a board-certified and aesthetic-laser-certified family physician who provides expert care for men and women with skin discoloration caused by venous disease.
What Is Skin Discoloration?
Vein disease often causes skin issues, including skin discoloration, or darkening of the skin. Patients with venous conditions may experience brown or black skin patches, normally around the ankles.
What Causes Skin Discoloration?
When blood pools in the lower extremities, pressure builds inside your veins, causing fluid and red blood cells to leak into the surrounding tissue. The red blood cells become trapped under the skin's surface and break down, releasing iron-rich hemoglobin. The iron "stains" the skin, which often becomes itchy, cracked, swollen, weepy or crusted.
What Should I Do if I Have Skin Discoloration?
Unfortunately, patients with skin discoloration, particularly those who don't have visible varicosities, often believe they have a dermatological condition. It's important to know the signs of skin discoloration, as it can often indicate a more serious problem well beneath the skin's surface. Oftentimes, skin darkening is a symptom of advanced vein disease, which should be evaluated and treated by an expert in vein disease. Dr. Aggarwal at the Vein Care Center has more than five years of experience treating vein disorders and addressing symptoms such as skin discoloration.
What Is the Treatment for Skin Discoloration?
Once your underlying vein disease is treated and circulation improves, oxygen-rich blood will begin the healing process and prevent further skin discoloration. Please see our Vein Treatments page to read more about the vein treatment options available at the Vein Care Center. We offer the most advanced therapies for treating venous disorders, including:
- Endovenous Laser Treatment
- Sclerotherapy
- Echosclerotherapy (Venous Ulcer Treatment)
- Ambulatory Phlebectomy
If you have concerns about skin discoloration, please contact us at the Vein Care Center for an evaluation. Dr. Aggarwal has been serving the communities of Lima, Celina and the surrounding areas of Auglaize County, OH, for more than five years, providing expert care for patients with vein disease in a state-of-the-art facility.

Christian Colberg, a 25-year-old native of Puerto Rico who was named concertmaster of the Annapolis Symphony Orchestra in May 1993, has left that post to accept a seat in the viola section of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.
Philip Spletzer, the ASO's principal second violinist, has been designated the orchestra's acting concertmaster for the 1994-1995 season.
Mr. Spletzer, a former member of Florida's New World Symphony under Michael Tilson Thomas, is known locally as an excellent chamber and orchestral player.
Mr. Colberg was selected over the winter by David Zinman, the BSO's music director, and a panel of BSO players from more than 300 applicants vying for the open viola chair. He has been playing with the orchestra on the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall stage since March 8. A graduate of the Peabody Conservatory, he says he enjoyed his brief association with the local orchestra.

I have long been of the opinion that the only way for cloud-like technologies, and ultimately the cloud market to really become viable to the enterprise is for cloud service providers to enable the mobility of workloads between one another. This may sound absurd as I am basically suggesting that customers would be able to move workloads to competitors unhindered. This goes against everything I.T. as for years vendors have always tried to keep things proprietary to prevent customers from easily adopting change, especially to competitors.
The open source movement, although not rapidly adopted by the enterprise, has been the driving force behind most technologies used by cloud service providers today. This has mainly been due to commercial reasons where margins are tight, but they have also had access to a pool of talented developers and engineers to drive value from the open-source code. Canonical's Ubuntu distribution of Openstack is a classic example and has been rapidly adopted by many cloud service providers. The enterprise is, however, starting to wake up to the fact that in order for I.T. to drive business value it no longer has to be driven by the flashy badge on the tin. Commodity hardware driven by packaged and supported open-source software is rapidly coming onto the radar of key I.T. decision makers within the enterprise.
But what have been the key turning points that have made the enterprise wake up? AWS has certainly had an effect which is understandable as they still control most of the cloud market, but this only reinforces my earlier point about proprietary services. It is not easy to migrate workloads to AWS and once in, it is difficult to move out. Intermediary software is usually required which significantly adds to the cost of migration. Personally I believe the adoption of the Openstack Framework by some of the largest vendors such as HP, IBM and now VMWare (http://www.vmware.com/uk/products/openstack.html) is providing the credibility that is required for the enterprise to take notice. The reason the enterprise is critical is because they will drive the market and, as a standardised platform is adopted by these large cloud service providers, the enterprise workloads will become mobile through hybrid private-public openstack deployments.
But this is just the first major step towards an open marketplace. Enterprise will demand more and I can see service providers becoming interconnected through the Openstack Framework and network virtualisation to allow the easy movement of workloads between providers without disruption to services. In essence I am suggesting that customers can choose where to buy their workload placement, building and breaking down complex multi-tiered applications within a hybrid openstack environment at a click of a button will be the norm. Enterprise will demand value not from the underlying infrastructure but the ability to drive business value from their "Time to Innovate" and drive revenue. It is only a matter of time before the AWS model becomes challenged and their hand is forced to play in the open cloud marketplace!

Puerto Rico makes debt payment
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rico has narrowly avoided a multimillion-dollar default by announcing a last-minute bond payment.
Still, Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla testified at a hearing of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee that the island is facing a liquidity crunch. He says the government has no cash left.
Puerto Rico officials have not yet said where they obtained the money to make the $355 million payment due Tuesday. Garcia signed an executive order that allows the island's Treasury Department to retain certain revenues slated for specific public agencies to help pay Puerto Rico's debt.

This is an interesting daily podcast THINK BIG WORK SMALLfor people in the mortgage and real estate industry that provides updates on what is happening in those markets around the country, and especially what is going on in Washington with new legislation. I have been following it for a few months now. I highly recommend it to anyone in the business or anyone who wants to know what is going on in the mortgage market. They provide a link to sign in to receive daily video podcasts.
Regarding one topic in this video, where Nancy Pelosi says you can pursue your dreams, that you are not tied down or job locked because of the new health care insurance reform, I have a comment. I have seen this played a number of times, and it seems that some reporters have jumped to the conclusion that she was saying "no problem, your health care is free". Unless there was more to her speech, she did not say it would be free. She just said it was transportable, that you are now able to keep it even if you do not remain with the same employer. I do not approve of the health care reform bill, but I also do not like it when people interpret or jump to conclusions about something that was just not said. If anyone has more of the footage where she said it would be free, please provide it to me. I have looked and not been able to find anything more than just the 37 second sound byte.

(On Tampa Bay quarterback Jameis Winston)
"Having met him at the Combine and then, really, sitting right behind him during his Pro Day, getting a chance to watch him throw, he's got a great arm. I would say his leadership skills and personality stood out. He's got a lot of that 'it factor' you're looking for. He's won a lot of games, even prior to playing at Florida State. So he would probably be in a long line of young quarterbacks in Week 1 that things didn't go exactly how he wanted them, and yet he's got that resiliency and toughness to him that's the right fit for his team. But having had a chance to watch the film, there are a handful of things that come up and typically more credit or blame oftentimes falls on that position, but I'm a big fan of [Winston's] throughout the process of seeing him. And obviously the [league schedule makers] put the two young guys in the first game against each other and, really, it's two teams."
(On having had trouble in the red zone in Week 1)
"It ended up being a game where we had to settle for field goals. We had some opportunities, especially in the second half. The score was really a one-score game for the most part. It got away from us late in the fourth quarter. We've got to be more efficient. We had the one touchdown early on and then settled for a number of field goals. Now, the good news on that is we had a rookie kicker that stepped up and on the road did a nice job. For us, offensively, we've got to be better. There's a handful of things you come away from the game [with]. You identify those Monday when you come in as a team, then, come Wednesday, you're on to game planning and your practice versus the opponent."
(On running back C.J. Spiller)
"We're in our first year with him and he's explosive. He's got outstanding speed. That's the first thing you notice when you're with him. So he's been with us throughout the spring and the training camp. He practiced today on a limited basis and it's good to see him back out there."
(On how Spiller can help diversify the offense)
"That speed and that ability to run the football – he's also a good receiver. Look, when you have a player that's dynamic like him, you have some things that you want to do with him in the game. It gives you a little bit of versatility."
(On the importance of protecting young quarterbacks and whether they can have long-term effects from taking hits early in their careers)
"I think the mental toughness and the ability for a guy that has thick skin, that's been, throughout a player's career – and I say that [as] high school, college – there's a roller coaster ride oftentimes playing that position. Generally those guys that you're looking for in the draft have that toughness to overcome. And I think that every year we spend a ton of time evaluating the quarterback position and you're constantly digging for traits, similar traits, things that you're looking at for the position. Is he accurate? Is he tough? Can he move? Is he smart? I think that the challenge oftentimes is they go earlier in the draft than most positions and sometimes they play early, sometimes they don't. I don't think there's a right or wrong formula either. I think it really depends on the team and the player."
(On New Orleans' home-field advantage in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and the importance of that when facing a team with a rookie quarterback)
"Historically, we've been good here. But I would say this: last year, we weren't. It's still about playing smart football, taking care of the football, fundamentally doing all the things that keep you from – preventing yourself from doing the things that keep you from winning games. In this series, where over time in the dome and then a last-possession-type game, I mean, in our time here, it's been a field goal, it's been a real close-fought series and a close-fought game year-in and year-out, the two of them. Typically in the division, teams have a feel for what they're going to get when they're on the road or what it's going to be like to be at home and I think here's a game where you have two teams that opened the season with a loss and both will be fighting hard to get their first win."
(On the advantage of being familiar with Tampa Bay's Tampa 2 defensive scheme)
"Typically good defenses have certain things they want to do and do well. The key offensively is quickly understanding the defense, how to handle the force patterns, how to handle the movement. Dating back to when Lovie was at St. Louis, they were playing [Tampa 2 defense] as well as anyone. And I think the one thing oftentimes that goes undiscussed with it is how much single-safety defense, man and zone, that a team like Tampa, for instance, plays. [Tampa 2] is the preferred coverage of choice, but there are so many things that go into it. They do a great job with their technique. We read to the team today, I think that in Lovie's however many years as a head coach, his teams have caused 180-some forced fumbles. It's a little more than one a game. They do a great job of disrupting the ball from the ball carrier, the receiver or the runner."
(On whether New Orleans' large receivers help their defense prepare to face a receiving corps like Tampa Bay's)
"In our division, one of the things we tried to do in the offseason, and you can do it through the draft or free agency, but, man, if it's Tampa Bay, if it's Atlanta or Carolina, there's a lot of really, really talented, big receivers in this NFC South. So I think it's important that the corners have some size and length or there are going to be plays where they just can't come up with the ball and they might be in perfect position. I think that week to week in our division, you see really talented, big receivers and that makes it challenging for the defense."
(On quarterback Drew Brees and how he maintains his level of play, especially given the loss of major target Jimmy Graham)
"No. 1, he prepares and his work week is amazing. He's extremely dedicated. Takes care of himself; he's in great shape. When you start looking at these elite quarterbacks, or the guys that – if you really looked at their work week, you'd be amazed. What they spend on the film study, what they spend in the weight room, all the treatment that they go through to put themselves in the best position on Sunday to be healthy and ready. With the loss of Jimmy – and obviously you spend a lot of time with a trade like that – there's some challenges that go into it because you have a matchup player there that can give you some joker opportunities or matchups versus safeties or linebackers in man coverage. But we were able to acquire a first-round pick and also our starting center, Max Unger. I think the pressure on the skill people, the tight ends and receivers, is spread throughout. I don't think the snaps or the touches are picked up by one individual, I think they are picked up by a number of them. So it's our job each week to look closely at how we want to go about playing a game and where do we think the matchups might be and that's what we'll do this week."
(On Tampa Bay tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins and the weapons in the Tampa Bay offense)
"I know this: he played well this past weekend. When you watch the tape, you're starting to see more and more these tight ends that come into this league – typically at that position there's a trait, [a player is] a receiver more, a run-blocker more, and I think [Seferian-Jenkins] has that versatility you're looking for at the position where he can help you both ways. When you watch the film and you look at the touches and you look at both of the receivers [Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans], and of course one didn't play last week, and then the tight end – I thought Doug really ran well [as well]. He almost looked like he did a year and a half ago. He looked explosive, fast. There are some things you see on film that strike you. Coming away from that game [in Week 1], I'm sure a tough loss like that, there are some positives. But I thought they ran it really well and I thought that he, specifically, played very well."
(On the current New Orleans defense)
"The first thing you obviously realize is there are some key veteran players that in one season either retired, maybe through injury or just where they were at in their career – when you have a [Jonathan] Vilma, when you have a Will Smith. Then we lose Malcolm Jenkins in free agency, Roman Harper is now with Carolina, Jabari Greer – there are about six starters after that '13 season that all of a sudden we were replacing and the one thing about that group is not just the skillset, but their toughness and leadership ability is something that you miss. You generally lose maybe one or two [players] a season, but that's something that we're working hard to replace."
(On what to expect from the New Orleans defense this week)
"I don't know that we've been a high-pressure defense of late. In other words, there were some snaps at Arizona, maybe some five-man rush. I think each team will have their critical-situation, Cover 0 snaps, it's something that you mix in. But I think with the size of the receivers that Tampa has, you really have to be careful not to tip it off. So I really think depending on the game, you look at the matchups and then you decide how you want to play a certain game."
(On Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston)
"I really haven't had a chance to see hardly any film on Jameis other than the highlights – ESPN or what have you. There's no doubt that he is extremely talented. I had a chance to actually have dinner with him this offseason in San Diego. I know he was getting ready for the draft there and that's where we spent a portion of the offseason. So I had a chance to meet him there for the first time, talk with him a little bit and I was impressed with his knowledge of the game. I think he's an intelligent guy who is only going to get better [with] the more experience that he gains. It's tough to come in as a rookie and play the quarterback position. There is so much on your shoulders and there's a big learning curve – just the level of talent that is around you that you are going up against and all those things. He's certainly a very talented guy and I'm sure he's going to be just fine."
(On how often the Buccaneers actually play the Tampa-2 compared to other looks such as single-free or cover zero)
"If you broke it down statistically it ends up being about one-third, one-third, one-third Tampa-2, one-third single-high safety zone and a third man-to-man. I'm sure they self-scout and they try to keep it even. They try to disguise it at times and do different things, all of the good defense do. I know this, I feel like I've been going up against Lovie Smith defenses for a long time and they are always very, very well coached, very well disciplined. Some of the things you know he's teaching very, very well. They pretty much invented the Tampa-2 defense back when and their ability to take the ball away and do certain things has always been a great strength of the defense."
(On what he remembers about going through his first full season as a starter)
"You definitely feel the effects of a long season. It's certainly a grind. It's a grind for players that have been in the league for a while, especially for a young guy that is used to a college season. All of a sudden you're going really 17 weeks and hopefully more. It's long. It's your job, so every day it's not you go to class and then you go to football practice and study some football. It's all day long, all day every day if you're really entrenched in the process of preparation and everything else. It's definitely a change, but guys that make it to the level Jameis Winston has made it to and had success that he's had – you can tell he loves playing the game of football. He's extremely enthusiastic. It seems like he is having fun doing what he's doing. Is it tough? Yes, it's a grind and it's competitive and stressful at times and all these things and yet you love the game, so you do whatever it takes."
(On possibly reaching 400 career passing touchdowns on Sunday)
"Let's get there first. Let's not speculate what I'm going to feel like when it happens. [I'm] just focused on winning the football game. All that stuff kind of takes care of itself. All those stats and everything else, they kind of pile up as you go along, but the most important thing is finding a way to win the football game. If you can knock down some milestones in the process then that's pretty cool too."
(On what Buccaneers quarterback Ryan Griffin can reveal about the Saints' offense)
"I don't know. Obviously, he has knowledge of our offense. He was quarterback here for three years, but I think there are plenty of guys that have left this team and have gone elsewhere and we played against them and they would have had knowledge of the system. Unless somebody is inside of our helmet and can hear our plays and know exactly what they mean, I'm not sure if it helps. It's a divisional opponent, I think both teams know each other pretty well at this point – from a personnel standpoint and exchange standpoint. There's always wrinkles that you kind of build in, but I think we are more worried about our execution rather than worrying about if somebody knows what we doing."
(On Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy)
"He's awesome. Man, he's a stud. I've worked out with him over the last few offseasons. He'll come down to San Diego. He's a guy that works. He loves the game. He takes a lot of pride in it. He's the total package. Pretty relentless and he can cause you a lot of problems if you don't account for him. I tell him every offseason to take it easy on me. I hope he does."
(On how hard it is to be the signal caller on defense)
"It's hard. There's a transition. There's a lot to see, there's a lot to call. You're kind of the quarterback of the defense. You have to communicate a lot. That's definitely a tough job and typically you've got a lot of information thrown at you."
(On if he wants to have a more balanced offense)
"I think ideally, but I also would say ideally that if I'm throwing the ball 48 times, I would expect to complete at least 40 of them. I would just say efficiency. If we are throwing it that many times I would like to be more efficient. If we are running it more, I think overall that's a better balance and I think that's what we'll strive for. It's funny, because I walked out of that game and I was surprised when I saw the stat sheet saying that we only ran it 20 times and we threw it 48. It felt much different. It felt like we ran the ball pretty evenly to pass. Our offense, the pass is an extension of the run game in some sense. Some of those shorter passes kind of take the place of runs at times. Every plan is different. We preach balance; certainly we strive for that – whatever is working."
(On if running back C.J. Spiller can fill the void left with Darren Sproles' departure last year)
"Yeah I do, absolutely. He brings a great element to what we do – not just in the pass game, but in the run game. He's electric if you give him the ball in space and he can really do some things with it. If you look at his highlight reel it gets you excited about what he can do in this offense."

Scientists working with avian influenza are concerned about a recent decision by the U.S. government to ask two scientific journals to withhold portions of a controversial study.
A panel of biosecurity experts advised the U.S. government to object to the publication of portions of two studies that showed how the H5N1 avian flu virus could be made more transmissable to humans. They are also considering that the government recommend that researchers and journals be asked to agree to a short-term moratorium on publishing any similar work, according to TheStar.com.
Researchers fear that it may become more difficult to publish any work aimed at answering one of the key questions in influenza science, specifically how viruses that normally infect other species evolve to become viruses that infect humans. In the short term, many believe it could become harder to publish work relating to this question if it touches H5N1.
Paul Keim, an anthrax expert who is currently the acting chair of the National Science Advisory Board on Biosecurity, said that scientists, policy makers and public health officials need to come to an agreement on how much of such work is safe to put in the public domain.
"A short-term publication moratorium is not essential for this, but I think that it would be useful," Keim said, TheStar.com reports. "We know that there is a lot of research occurring in this specific area and with every paper, the situation changes. Setting policy in such an environment is difficult and it is hard enough already."
It remains unclear as to whether the board will recommend that the government ask for a moratorium. It is also far from certain how the journals would respond to such a request. The journals Science and Nature, both involved in the current controversy, have indicated that they are willing to discuss some kind of compromise.
Scientists worried that H5N1 research withholding may be slippery slope

Good morning everyone it's a chilly 51 degree chilly morning in Iowa. It's Darrell back at you with a serious share today. Get ready y'all I think it's gonna be a cold winter this year.
As most of you know 70% of our income here at the cash blog is derived from our social media management service.
Yesterday I was cold calling business owners all afternoon and it really surprised me how many felt that a social media presence isn't necessary.
With our social media management service we help establish your brand presence in social media channels, but also tighten the relationship you have with existing customers ,while driving word of- mouth advertising as well as conversions.
So this post is titled "6 Fears Businesses Have about Social Media". so Let's Roll.
Social media marketing is one of the greatest developments in the marketing world in the past decade.
Some companies have risen to unbelievable heights solely on their social media acumen while others have refused to adopt any strategy at all.
1. They don't understand how " Social Media work"
Some business owners have convinced themselves that social media platforms are weird and strange and it's only for teenagers.
They haven't taken a moment to learn how Facebook timelines work or why Twitter is used for different types of interactions than LinkedIn.
Basically a few hours on any platform are all it takes for even a beginner user to grow accustomed to the basics and the basics are all you need to be effective.
Read this helpful post 31 Tips to Get more Facebook Likes !
2. They're overwhelmed by the number of social media platforms.
Facebook, Linked In, Twitter, Google +, Inform are just a handful of the most popular social media.
That number grows bigger everyday and to make things worse there are multiple ways for businesses to use every platform.
The number of options is overwhelming to a novice. The key is identifying which platforms will be your best option.
Listen to what small business owner Ray Vandenberg said about us.
3. They don't want to hire someone new.
Social media marketing is usually seen as a new wing of marketing, and in order to tackle it a business person would need to hire someone new who specializes in it.
However a full-time person is rarely necessary for a social media marketing strategy, except for larger brands who might even need more people.
According to social media examiner by tracking conversions you can connect a dollar value to your social media marketing efforts.
4. They don't understand purpose.
The purpose of social media marketing is debatable but too many entrepreneurs are skeptical of it's benefits simply due to how it's been presented to them.
The reality is social media marketing isn't some magical booth that will suddenly flood paying customers to your business.
It has a number of subtle benefits, such as increasing your visibility on the web and providing information to several-savvy customers, but most importantly ti can drive lots of people to your website.
5. They don't want to change from traditional advertising and networking.
Some entrepreneurs are so familiar with traditional methods they refuse to change. The traditional and social media efforts can be done in balance to give you the best of both world's.
6. They don't see value.
The objective value of social media is hard to calculate as a result it scares many businessmen away.

Johnny Depp is an American actor who rose to fame in the late '80s for his role in the TV show 21 Jump Street, and is more recently known for his ongoing role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Johnny Depp has had several major roles in movies since the '90s, including Edward Scissorhands, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, five Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd, Alice in Wonderland, and The Lone Ranger. He has received three Academy Awards nominations and won one Golden Globe for his role as Sweeney Todd. In 2016, Depp's ex-wife, actor Amber Heard, filed for divorce and filed a restraining order against him soon after, alleging verbal and physical abuse throughout their relationship. The two later made a joint statement saying there was no intent to harm on either side, and Heard received a $7 million settlement in the divorce and rescinded her restraining order.

Tennessee U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander is joining efforts to reform No Child Left Behind.
The public has heard a lot over the past few years about what's called adequate yearly progress and how important it is for schools to meet that federal benchmark.
However, under a new proposal, adequate yearly progress would be eliminated. Under a new plan, states would be allowed to develop their own accountability systems.
States would still need to identify and report the 5 percent of schools that are the lowest performing.
Under the current benchmark, 80 percent of the nation's schools are expected to be failing by next year.
With no congressional action, Education Secretary Arne Duncan has indicated he would grant waivers allowing states to opt out of No Child Left Behind. Tennessee has applied for one of those waivers.
Alexander says if his plan passes, the waivers wouldn't be necessary.
"The responsibility is back where the responsibility ought to be on the parents, the teachers, the communities, and less of that invented in Washington," said Alexander.
Whether the proposal will pass is still unclear. Duncan is expected to unveil details later this month with what it will take for states to receive a waiver.

"This is kind of my own twist on cottag fries with red and green bell pepper, usually called "O'Brien Potatoes". I needed to make something like the O'Brien potatoes, but without the fancy shmancy pimentos, red bell peppers, etc. Some of us out here lack funds to go out and buy esoteric ingredients. Try this with the following warning: this recipe might be too hot/spicy for the non--pepper buff, so use the bell pepper if you can't take a tiny bit of heat. I added the twist of using the Mexican Pasilla or Poblano (green) chili pepper, which tastes basically like a bell pepper but it is a little hot, although not like a jalapeño. If you are adventurous, try this with the Poblano. It gives a nice spicy bite to the potatoes and onion, but without burning your mouth out."
Uncle Heavy's Poblano Chile Pepper Cottage Fries
0 recipe photos
READY IN:20mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup minced onion
- 1⁄2 cup diced pasilla chiles or 1⁄2 cup bell pepper
- 1⁄4 cup oil (more if needed)
- 5 medium potatoes (peeled or skin on)
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
- Peel and cube potatoes.
- Place cubes in ice water to cover. Let sit in ice water about 10-15 minutes.
- Heat oil in skillet.
- While oil is heating, drain potatoes in a colander.
- Take paper towel, enough to dry off the potato pieces in colander. Flip pieces in colander and dry on other side too.
- When oil is hot put potato cubes into oil and fry until beginning to be golden on most of the sides.
- **Note: As potatoes fry can cover to increase heat –the secret to crispiness is leave them long enough on each side to form a little crust before turning them. The other secret will be frying the potatoes twice over. I find it helps to use tongs and a fork and individually flip the potato cubes so they all get browned more evenly, but that is up to you. I also flip them all with spatula from time to to time.
- When browned and slightly crisped remove from oil and drain on paper towel.
- While potatoes are cooling heat oil back up and combine and fry (optional) bell pepper and onion in high heat oil.
- Fry veggies until onion starts to turn brown around edges but not till turns dark. This step takes a little longer because of the moisture in vegetables.
- Lower heat temporarily while you thoroughly remove all fried vegetable pieces from hot oil when onion has begun to darken around the edges. Set aside on paper towel to drain.
- Add a little more oil and turn back up to hot.
- (Watch out and have lid ready to protect yourself in case of "spitting" oil from moisture in vegetables, lower heat a touch).
- To the hot oil add back the once-fried potatoes -- and fry again same way until the potatoes have formed a nice, brown crust on all sides.
- When potatoes are crispy enough, add back the once fried onion and bell pepper (I use pasilla pepper).
- Fry together until all are nice and brown but be careful not to burn them. Refrying affects the vegetables relatively quickly.
- Fry together until satisfied with how they look, then quickly remove from heat and drain all on paper towel.
- The potatoes and (optional) onion and bell pepper will by now be combined. Let them drain for a minute on paper towel.
- While all still hot, re-season potatoes and optional veggies with desired amount of salt and garlic powder (according to your taste whether you use garlic powder at the end, but it does make them good in my opinion) .
- You are ready to eat. I like to set the potatoes aside in warm place covered with paper towel and fry eggs to go over the top of the potatoes when served.
- When ready to serve, if potatoes have cooled off too much, gently reheat in microwave real quickly.
- Enjoy.

Data envelopment Analysis is a Mathematical Programme for measuring performance efficiency of organizational units. The organizational units, termed as decision-making units (DMU) can be of any kind: manufacturing units, a set of schools, banks, hospitals, power plants, police stations, prisons, a set of firms etc. DEA has been unsuccessfully applied to measure the performance efficiency of these different kinds of DMUs which share a common characteristic - that they are non-profit organization where measurement of performance efficiency is difficult.
In this book, author not only lays the foundation of the technique of DEA effectively, but also dedicates a significant portion of the book to illustrate it through full-fledged applications implemented by the author himself. It covers the latest developments in this field and lists out resources. A "not-too-rigorous" mathematical treatment makes this book an easy rapid reading text. A chapter dedicated to do's and don'ts from the implementation point of view and solutions to the selected problems at the end of the book makes it very useful. The book emphasizes on practice rather than abstract theory.
The book though disappoints readers having a keen eye for details, due to a number of typographical errors, use of variables without defining them and inappropriate sequencing of problems within exercises and across chapters. The inadvertent insertion of technical details unnecessarily at numerous instances might distract or annoy readers. The matrix representation of the formulations need not have been left in the main body of the text. Similarly discussion on the non-Archimedean constant could have been extracted out to an appendix.
The author begins with very lucid and clear exposition of terms, concepts aided with graphical illustrations. He elucidates the applicability of DEA to Not-For-Profit organizations with reasoning and elaborates the underlying philosophy of DEA. The generalized mathematical formulation by first principles leading to formulation of fractional DEA program through a simple example elicits interest among readers. The CCR model laying the first stepping stone in the formal theory of DEA is immediately followed by dual DEA formulation which capitalize the interest aroused till then.
The relationship between output (input) maximizing (minimizing) multiplier DEA and the input (output) oriented envelopment DEA in chapter 2 could have been better illustrated through a solved example. The two-stage optimization procedure is yet another distraction which could have been avoided by taking it appendix as it is not used further in text. In the section on interpretation of dual, the example involving firms PQR & T is inserted unnecessarily which creates discontinuity and concludes in an adhoc fashion.
In line with the chronology of the theory of DEA, the concept of "economies of scale" is introduced subsequently in chapter 3, which includes basic concepts of CRS and VRS, technical and scale efficiencies, estimation of MPSS and their detailed investigation. This helps the reader understand the evolution of DEA to real life adaptation and its increasing acceptance. This chapter ends with ample examples for the reader to have a good grasp of the theory. This chapter introduces the BCC model quite succinctly backed by good references, but is plagued with a number of typographical errors. With this chapter, the basic theory and evolution of DEA during its foundation years is covered exhaustively and the text is fairly easy to understand as the shift to application of theory beyond this chapter. Besides a good understanding of the dual LP theory is a prerequisite to develop a sound foundation.
The variants of basic models and the recent developments have been covered in chapter 4 of the book which covers Multiplicative DEA models, Additive models, Window Analysis and Malmquist Productivity Index Approach. Similarly, variants in these models, such as use of non-discretionary input / output, treatment of categorical variables, incorporation of judgmental and subjective weights, are discussed. These models and variants are briefly introduced but examples for select few are illustrated. Examples for each type of variant could however have made the chapter more effective. The chapter ends with three exercise problems and a note for advanced readers on other DEA models which establishes its linkage with multi criteria decision making models. This evokes appreciation for utility of DEA extensions.
The best of the book lies in the chapter on computer support for DEA, wherein the computational features of DEA are taken into account along with the resources available in print and web media. DEA software is presented in the fifth chapter which is aptly detailed with finer implementation level details like compatibility with the OS, the embedded solver, limits on the size of the problem, interfacing with other common software etc. The format of data input, specification of variables, syntax of command, and snapshots of the various intermediate and final outputs along with their interpretation make very interesting and engaging reading. This is very helpful for readers who want to try out DEA. The software of varying degrees of robustness and complexity are demonstrated namely DEAP, EMS, GAMS formulation and Excel serving the vast range of readers on the spectrum of elementary to advanced level.
The chapter on DEA bibliography and application takes the reader to the world of "DEA in practice" which helps one understand the issues involved in problem formulation, implementation, sensitivity analysis of model, post DEA analysis, validation and reaffirmation of the results through techniques such as regression etc. The problems attempt to demonstrate full-fledged implementation which range from comparative performance of schools to productivity assessment of State transport undertakings in India, from comparative risk assessment of energy systems and energy efficiencies of transport modes in India to Carbon dioxide emissions of countries. This wide range of problems adds to the richness of the text especially when the studies have been carried out by the author himself.
The book concludes with a chapter on do's and don'ts for undertaking DEA studies. Some fundamental considerations enlisted for characterizing DMUs, selection of input/output and DEA model, post DEA procedures, strengths and weaknesses of DEA would enhance confidence of amateurs. The chapter climaxes with a graph clearly illustrating the severe limitation of DEA in case of DMUs having same peer members, leaving the reader wanting for more.
A book covering so much is expected to be shallow, but it makes easy reading and opens the doors to the field of DEA. The most notable feature of the book is its use of many small case studies, comprehensive bibliography and illustration of software usage. "DEA made simple" or "DEA in 24 hours" could have been more appropriate titles.

As he strolled down a hallway inside Energy Solutions Arena on his way to the Lakers' team bus after Saturday night's game at Utah, Pau Gasol was asked to elaborate on his request to get more touches.
Seconds after Gasol began to explain, Lamar Odom eased his way in, asking what the conversation was about. Gasol informed Odom that the topic was "how can I get more touches? How can I get more looks?"
Odom put on his analytical hat and offered his opinion, saying the Lakers went through the same situation last season and found a way to get it resolved.
At issue, Odom said, is that when the ball does go inside, the Lakers still need to make the extra pass. He said they need to be more patient and move the ball rather than make one pass, perhaps two, and then shoot.

Facebook will begin looking at users' activity on the rest of the Internet to better target advertisements.
"Today, we learn about your interests primarily from the things you do on Facebook," the company said in a post Thursday.
A company spokesman told AdAge that Facebook will not honor browser-based Do Not Track signals, which users can enable to opt out of cookie-based tracking in Internet browsers, "because currently there is no industry consensus."
A process to find a consensus on a Do Not Track standard at the World Wide Web Consortium has repeatedly stalled.
The Facebook post pointed users to third-party controls, including the online ad industry's Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out program for ads in Web browsers and in-device controls for ads in iOS and Android apps, if they want to opt out of the more targeted advertising.
"If you don't want us to use the websites and apps you use to show you more relevant ads, we won't," Facebook wrote.
Facebook also announced a new "ad preferences" tool alongside every ad that will allow users to see why Facebook is showing them specific ads and further tailor their interests to receive relevant ads.
According to the company, the ad preferences tool will roll out to U.S. users "in the next few weeks," and Facebook is "working hard to expand globally in the coming months."

Aggreko, a long-time Partner of SportAccord Convention, have reached major agreements to supply two global mega-events that have been represented at the Convention over the years - the Commonwealth Games and the FIFA World Cup.
Aggreko, a Silver Partner of SportAccord Convention for six consecutive years through 2013, will be Official Supporter of the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, providing temporary power across the mega-event's 13 sports venues and athletes' village. Aggreko, based near Glasgow, will deploy over 100 individual generator sets connected through about 200 kilometres of cabling to meet all temporary power requirements.
Glasgow 2014 Chief Executive, David Grevemberg, said: "Aggreko has a great track record of supporting mega-events worldwide and who better to join the Glasgow 2014 sponsor family as our Official Temporary Power Supporter than such a highly-regarded global power company with its headquarters in the Glasgow area."
FIFA has named Aggreko as a branded licensee for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil as the supplier of power solutions to the tournament's international broadcast centre and stadiums in the 12 host cities. The deal ensures the successful delivery of television images from matches.
Niclas Ericson, FIFA's TV Director, said: "The deal is of huge importance as it not only ensures the successful delivery of the TV images but will also result in a significant reduction in operational investments for all 12 host cities."

Egg Hunt
Before Spring Break we had an egg hunt. First, we decorated a bag to put our eggs in. Then, we went to the upper apparatus area to hunt for eggs. It was easy to find most of the eggs but, some were hidden pretty well. Thank you to the parents who helped hide the eggs. After the hunt we went to the Parent Center to have some ice cream prepared by Mrs. Garcia. She baked some crust, put a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center, and a small scoop of orange sherbert on the very top. It looked like a broken egg! It was yummy! We also had fruit punch. Thanks Mrs. Garcia! After eating, we divided our findings so that everyone had about the same amount. We also made a rabbit made out of foam. Thanks Miss Tamrazian for showing us how it's done. We had a lot of fun!

Music Class
We have been learning about different types of instruments and the family which they belong. The different families are the string, woodwind, brass, and percussion. We watched a video of Peter and the Wolf. The characters didn't talk, instead, they were represented by a different instrument sound. At first, it was challenging to listen to and remember the different types of instruments that represented the characters. After a while, we began to remember and figure out which instrument was being played.
