'Winners' And 'Losers' In Somalia?
Prof. Samatar challenged the relevancy of the nation-state in a region with overlapping cultural and ethnic identities. Somalis for example are the third largest ethnic group in Ethiopia, he pointed out, numbering 4-5 million, with close to 2 million in Kenya and half a million in Djibouti.
Ethiopia is on a war footing, its troops having chased members of the Islamic Courts Union to Somalia's southern border. The U.S. has acknowledged a bombing run aimed at eliminating an alleged Al-Queda cell. Kenya has lent its support to the U.S. 'anti-terror' drive, as has Djibouti, a small country with a large U.S. base.
Peace has not yet returned to the troubled zone yet there are already winners and losers according to Said Sheik Samatar, an African history professor at Rutgers, in New Jersey, speaking this week at a Roundtable on Somalia. Among the winners are Ethiopia - the Colossus to the North, Kenya to the southwest, and Djibouti, wedged between Ethiopia and Somalia, for their cooperation with the U.S. war on terror, he said. Losers are Egypt, Eritrea and the routed Islamic Courts.
Samatar suggested that the entry of the U.S. into the regional disturbance was a reflection of the country's role as the sole global superpower. Power flows into a vacuum, he said, although an African solution would be preferred. "Africa must get its house in order," he said, adding that the process is underway with democratically elected governments in more that a dozen countries on the continent.

Prospects for peace would be greatly enhanced by a peacekeeping contingent from the African Union, he said. Such a move has already been endorsed by the U.N. Security Council.
Samatar, a refugee from Mogadishu, Somalia, has served as managing editor of Horn of Africa since 1988. A member of the executive committee of the Somali Studies International Association since 1979, he is currently working on a project titled, "The Somali Collapse: Its Causes, Consequences and Context." He teaches African history at Rutgers College in New Jersey.
He was speaking Jan. 10 at the monthly Africa Roundtable series hosted by Global Information Network in NYC. The Roundtable on Somalia was moderated by Milton Allimadi, publisher of The Black Star News and co-sponsored by Alwan for the Arts.

Comparing reproduction Goodyear Steelgard radial tires to 40-year-old originals
Finding a vintage Pontiac with modern radial tires is commonplace in today's hobby. Who can blame an owner for using them? After all, they're new and tend to ride and handle better than most vintage units, particularly original bias-ply examples, and they're usually commercially available in a variety of sizes for a rather reasonable cost.
So what if you're a Pontiac purist and want to retain the factory look? The square-shouldered bias-ply Goodyear Polyglas GT or Firestone Wide Oval have been reproduced for a number of years and certainly preserve the original appearance of any early-'70s GTO or Trans Am. Kelsey Tire redeveloped the late-'70s Goodyear Polysteel Radial a few years ago — originally used on Trans Ams equipped with the WS6 suspension package — and it's been a welcome addition with that crowd.
With Kelsey covering Goodyear tire offerings for early and late Second-Gen Firebirds, it left a noticeable void for the mid-'70s cars. While many of those from '75 forward were fitted with tires featuring GM's infamous tread design, the number of examples of the era treated to high-end restos is rather low and doesn't yet substantiate a redevelopment investment for tires of that type. Fortunately, for '74 Firebird owners, it shares its tire offerings with mid-'70s Corvettes, and that helped fuel the need for accurate reproductions.
Follow along as we preserve our '74 Trans Am's appearance with a set of reproduction Goodyear Steelgards.
Radials Appear
Pontiac's first foray into radial tires on its production cars was during the late '60s. It then introduced a GR70-15 option for the Grand Prix in February 1972. Radial Tuned Suspension (RTS) was made available the following model year, and consisted of springs, sway bars, and bushings specially designed to maximize the ride-and-handling qualities of the radial tires it was teamed with.
The Trans Am was among those '73 Pontiacs that GR70-15 radials were available on, and surprisingly the tires were first only available with white lines before white letters were introduced later in the model year. RTS was back for the '74 Firebird and as standard equipment on the Trans Am. A black-wall GR70-15 was the base tire while raised white letters added just over $40 to the price tag.
The decorated tires commonly found on '74 Firebirds were generally the Firestone Steel Radial 500, General or Uniroyal Steel Belted Radials, or the Goodyear Steelgard. It's likely such tires would have been used on other Pontiac models that had white-lettered GR70-15 tires available. There's seemingly no definitive pattern as to which tires a given Trans Am was originally equipped with. Ours is one such example fitted with Goodyear Steelgards from the factory. With just 16,000 miles on its odometer, they remained on the car when we purchased it in 2010.
Driving on 35-year-old tires — even to nearby shows and for photographs — was nerve-wracking. They were old and hard, but remarkably not flat-spotted, so the temptation to run the car up to speed was great, but we weren't willing to take a chance on one or more separating and destroying the original paint on a fender or quarter.
To enjoy our Trans Am and the powerful SD-455 nestled under its hood, we installed a modern set of 255/60R15 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires with restored Honeycomb wheels. As expected when replacing a nearly-40-year-old tire, the Firebird's ride and handling improved substantially, and we could drive it at any speed up to the tire's speed rating without concern. What we lost, however, was the look of an unrestored, low-mile car. We could reinstall the originals any time we desired, but that would rekindle the concerns negated by the modern tires.
Kelsey Tire
Kelsey Tire in Camdenton, Missouri, and its president, John Kelsey, are no strangers to the tire trade. In its 44 years, Kelsey Tire first sold and serviced original tires on new vehicles over the years before expanding into redeveloping the wide array of modern reproductions it has brought to market for purists.
The Corvette hobby is known for its high-end restorations and stringent judging rules. Therefore, owners and restorers will only settle for the most correct and accurately reproduced components, and that includes tires. Kelsey secured a specific agreement with Goodyear to use its trademarked names and logos, and the original mold drawing for a given tire. By interfacing that with the sample of an actual vintage tire, Kelsey was able to redevelop a faithful reproduction mimicking the minutest detail.
Over the years Kelsey Tire has introduced reproductions of many Goodyear tires originally installed on Corvettes. Since some were subsequently used on Pontiac models, our hobby's owners have been able to equip their vintage rides with reproduction Goodyear tires, too, and the Polyglas GT has likely been the most popular. "We took it upon ourselves to redevelop the Goodyear Steelgard. The Corvette market led the parade as the tires were available on that model from '73-'77, but we knew full well that it had other applications during that timeframe," says Kelsey.
The Steelgard redevelopment process was treated just as any before it, and the reproductions debuted in late 2011. "Any radial tire produced today, whether a completely new design or a reproduction of a vintage original, must comply with DOT 139 standards. That requires critically testing it to ensure its safety. Today's Goodyear Steelgards are safer than any before it," he proudly adds.
The lettering of the reproduction (left), both molded into the tire and the raised white letters, are exactly like our original (right).
We found the spacing of the GR70-15 lettering to be grouped slightly tighter on the reproduction (left) when compared to our original (right). Such variances are common to original vintage tires, because as tire molds wore and were retired, manufacturers reintroduced replacements that could vary as well. Kelsey Tire's reproductions are produced using the original mold drawings, so such variances will apply.
While the tread design between the original and reproduction is exact, the new Goodyear Steelgards are produced using modern rubber compound, which is lightyears better than the original. In optimal conditions, by treating the Steelgards like any modern production passenger-car tire, they can last 40,000 miles or more. Don't expect that life if you have a heavy right foot and/or like to plant your Pontiac deep into the turns!
Making The Purchase
When we learned that reproduction Steelgards were available, we were immediately interested. Familiar with the quality of Kelsey's Polyglas GT reproductions, we expected nothing less than perfection. While perusing the Kelsey Tire booth at SEMA 2012, we found the new Steelgard prominently displayed and took the opportunity to look it over and visit with John at length. Amazed at the tire's accuracy and confident in John's word, we purchased a set for our '74 Trans Am. The tires retail for $350 each directly from Kelsey Tire and were delivered to our doorstep in just a few days.
We briefly considered removing our Trans Am's original Steelgards from the original Honeycomb wheels, but ultimately decided against it for fear of tearing the 40-year-old tires' brittle rim seating grooves during the dismounting process. We also reasoned that since the reproduction Steelgards were new tires, constructed of modern rubber compound and meeting all current safety standards, there wasn't any reason we couldn't treat them as any other radial tire commonly available today.
We decided to shelf the modern BFGoodrich tires for another project and install the new Steelgards on our restored rims. On a lazy Saturday morning, we securely supported the Firebird on sturdy jack stands and removed all four wheels and tires, loaded them and the new Steelgards into our pickup truck, and headed for Midwest Tire in Omaha, Nebraska, to perform the swap. Within an hour we were on our way back home to install the new rubber.
With the wheels and tires fully installed, the lug nuts tightened to 65 ft-lb, and the tires pressurized to 30 psi, we first backed the Trans Am out of the garage to marvel at how the GR70-15 reproduction tires completely restored the T/A's original appearance. Elated with the visual effect, we ventured out onto the streets to determine how they might differ from the modern 255/60 radials in various conditions.
We found the Trans Am to ride smoother and softer when compared to the wider BFGoodrich tires, and that's something we expected to see. What we didn't expect to find, however, was no noticeable loss in handling ability. While we admit that we didn't push our unrestored Super-Duty–powered car to its limits, in normal turns at higher-than-normal speeds we realized that Pontiac engineers perfectly combined the suspension and tire combination to let each independent system work in concert to maximize the effect.
If giving your Pontiac a vintage look and feel is important, reproduction Goodyear Steelgard tires from Kelsey Tire will certainly let you accomplish those goals. While they may not be correct for all years, they're absolutely correct for the '74 Firebird Trans Am, and will look period-correct for Firebirds in following years, at least until more accurate reproductions arrive. Considering they're made with modern materials and comply with today's strict safety standards, there's no reason they couldn't be considered anywhere new radials are desired!

Absolutely do not miss this piece from Abigail Field – So head over and please absorb the information.
Abigail C. Field-
If you want to cut through some of the nonsense the banks have managed to sell as information about the housing situation, robosigning, mortgage modifications, check out this very accessible interview of attorney Talcott Franklin by Martin Andelman.
Tal represents the majority of investors hosed once by Wall Streeers selling AAA-rated mortgage backed junk, and constantly being hosed again by the big bank servicers of those mortgages. Interestingly, his perspective sounds very much like homeowners'. Yes, a couple of times it gets a little too legalistic, but only for about 5 minutes of the slightly longer than the hour chat—when you hit the overview of the contracts structuring securitization, or any other topic that is more in the weeds than you want to go, take a deep breath and keep going. Most of the interview is in a rhythm and a language that creates clarity I've not seen or heard elsewhere.

Yesterday I learned that if I'd like to ride the mechanical bull in Downtown Durham I need to have my shirt tails tucked in. Today I learned what "Diversion" is to the beauty-set. I'm learning a lot these days.
"Diversion – the sale of professional haircare products in unauthorized non-salon retailers including drugstores and online retailers." It's about time we girls had our own dictionary, no?Here are the Top Five Reasons to Buy Professional Haircare Products ONLY in Salons:
-Products cost up to 15% less in salons than at unauthorized retailers.
-Products are only guaranteed to be 100% authentic when purchased at salons – products sold at unauthorized retailers can actually be contaminated or even counterfeit.
-Salons carry the most up-to-date product and newest formulations, unlike unauthorized retailers who usually have much older stock.
-Your stylist is an expert and can give you the best advice on the right products for your hair type and condition.
-Support your hairdresser and salon! Every beauty girl needs a good hair-boyfriend. Cause a stylist isn't a service provider. Your stylist should be, like a boyfriend, carefully selected. Lucky girl that I am I have three. Daniel in LA, Ted in New York, and Angus in North Carolina. (Don't get to jealous, my surplus in high quality hair-boyfriends is matched only by a serious shortage in quality actual boyfriends.) The woman in the video below was actually caught by her hair-boyfriend buying product at an unauthorized dealer.
To help educate both consumers and hairdressers on Diversion, Biolage is launching an interactive website called StayTrueNow.com which will increase awareness for the brand's anti-diversion strategy in the salon community and among consumers, and explain why it is so important to purchase salon products only in authorized outlets including salons and professional stores.

The results from the elections choosing the members of the 2010 PKRA Riders committee are out. The 3 members representing the professional riders on the IKA Judging Committee in 2010 will be Bruna Kajiya, Alex Pastor and Kevin Langeree.
The purpose of the IKA Freestyle Rules Subcommittee is to continue to develop the freestyle competition rules with the input of a well balance committee, and not exclusively with the competitors input as it was done in the past.
The results of the elections means, the current members of the IKA freestyle rules subcommittee are Bruna Kajiya, Alex Pastor, Kevin Langeree (the 3 PKRA elected riders), Mauricio Toscano (PKRA tour Manger), Pedro Marcos (International judge from Portugal), Caroline Duby (International judge from France) Ian Young (International judge and race director from Australia) , and Martyn Hogg (BKSA riders representative).
Over the next few weeks, the ongoing talks that started last November about rules changes and additions, will resume, and we expect to have the 2010 freestyle rules finalized by February 15th. These rules will be standard not only for PKRA World Tour events, but for all IKA national and continental events as well. These will be a great accomplishment on standardizing competition rules all over the world.

Kevin Barrett: A joyous affirmation of the end of identity politics
Gilad Atzmon's The Wandering Who - a joyous affirmation of the end of identity politics
As a recovering angry Muslim, I cannot help loving fully-recovered ex-Zionist Jew Gilad Atzmon's The Wandering Who: A Study of Jewish Identity of Politics...and the firestorm it has sparked.
It isn't just the joy of watching Atzmon say all the things about Jewishness that need to be said, but that hardly anybody has the guts to say.
It isn't just the fun of watching Atzmon and his defenders like John Mearsheimer and Jonathan Cook rip apart Zionist thugs like Jeffrey Goldberg and clueless gatekeepers like Andy Newman.
It isn't just the irrepressible voice of Gilad Atzmon, the inspired thinker and jazz artist whose words and ideas are almost as beautiful to listen to as his music.
Most of all, I love this book for its larger message: Identity politics is a dead-end.
For Jews, the end of that dead-end road is the cul-de-sac they're stuck in over in Occupied Palestine.
For Muslims, who stand at the beginning of the dead-end road, Atzmon's book is a stark warning and a wake-up call: Do not let Islam turn into just another version of secularized Western identity politics.
Identity politics always tends toward the kind of politics espoused by zio-nazi neocon guru Leo Strauss, and his nazi mentor Carl Schmidt: The politics of loving the Self and hating the Other. Schmidt, and the even more radical Strauss, defined politics as the realm of human relations defined by enmity. All "political" activity, according to nazis and neocons, is just people banding together against an enemy.
"Jews" define themselves by despising "the goyim" - and the tables naturally turn. The same process underlies all nationalisms and tribalisms, including such subcultures as "gays" and "feminists"...perhaps even the "leftists" these subcultures lump themselves with. (The leftists I know do spend a lot of energy despising "the right"...)
What would be a more authentic way of doing politics? A way prophetic in its insistence on truth and justice...universal in its refusal to divide humanity into artificial categories...spiritual or religious in its consciousness of the weight of ethics and morality in the face of the infinite. It would be an anti-nazism, an anti-neoconservatism, a politics in line with universalist ex-Jew Leopold Bloom's attempt to explain to an anti-Semite "Love. The opposite of hatred."
If we ever transcend neocon/neonazi politics, it will be in part thanks to Gilad's book. As I have said elsewhere: Gilad Atzmon is the Moses of our time, calling all of us out of the Egypt of our boneheaded nationalisms and racialisms and exceptionalisms and chosen-people-isms toward some form of humanistic universalism. My own is Islamic: One God, one humanity.
For God is the ultimate Other, and an orientation of absolute surrender to God (the correct orientation, the prophets tell us) amounts to an attitude of complete openness to the Other. Secular identity politics offers the opposite: A badly-disguised worship of self.
Today, on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, Jews are supposed to reach out and ask for forgiveness from those they have wronged. They are supposed to reach out to the human Other, in obedience to the ultimate Other, God.
True Torah Jews like Rabbi Weiss are doing that.
Zionist secular Jews, for the most part, are not.
When will Zionist Jews ever finally reach out and beg for forgiveness from the people they have not just wronged, but are in the process of genociding?
As Alan Hart asks: Will God forgive?
Remember, Alan: God's mercy is limitless - like human stupidity.
If the stupidity that has produced Zionism and its toxic brood of identity politics ever gives way to wisdom, Gilad Atzmon will deserve much of the credit. For if Joshua at the battle of Jericho could knock down the enemy's walls with his trumpet, maybe Gilad can knock down the Wall (not just Israel's, but also Pink Floyd's) with his jazz saxophone...and his inspired writings.
Rock on, Gilad! Allah bless you, brother!
You can now order Gilad Atzmon's New Book on Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk

Malbec and Mole, or How to Transform Your Turkey Leftovers
First, dive into your wine closet or go out and buy a nice, affordable bottle of Malbec, like the very good QPR 2009 Budini Malbec from Argentina's Mendoza region. (suggested retail $13; available for $9-$14) This smooth, berry-inflected Malbec has rich, spicy notes as well as subtle, integrated tannins. It reminded me of an extremely well-made, fruit-forward Cabernet but happily was not manipulated into something else. The fruit-forwardness of the wine and the juicy aftertaste make it capable of handling something rich and spicy, like the recipe that follows.
Then, head to the market and pick up two 16 oz jars of medium-heat Roasted Chipotle Salsa and a small bar of 70% Cacao Dark Chocolate.
You are now set to make a quick and easy turkey mole to go with some rice, or some tortillas, or even some crusty bread. Butternut squash that has been peeled, cubed and tossed with olive oil, salt, and pepper before putting it into a 450 oven for 15-18 minutes is good, too.
Quick and Easy Turkey Mole
Note: I adapted this recipe from a Wegman's recipe that calls for various Wegman's proprietary ingredients not available where I live. No leftover turkey? A rotisserie chicken works just fine.
1. Head a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add your leftover turkey (on the bone is fine, or large chunks of leftover meat. If the skin is still on it, you will want to cook it in a skillet on medium heat a bit to crisp up the skin and render the fat.) Cook for 3 minutes, turning once in the middle of the cooking time. Remove turkey and reserve.
2. Put 1/2 cup of water in the pan and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom. Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tsp cinnamon and the 2 jars of salsa. Simmer, covered, over medium-low heat for 15 minutes. Remove lid, and cook for a further 6 minutes or so until the liquid is reduced a bit.
3. Reduce heat to low. Then add 1.5 oz of the chocolate, chopped into small pieces. Stir until melted.
4. Return turkey to pan and warm through on low for 8-10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with a nice glass of Malbec, some accompaniments like squash/rice/bread, a cool salad of avocado, tomato, and red onion and you are all set.
Full Disclosure: I received a sample of this wine for review.

I enjoy your wine suggestions and I have a wonderful Cooking Light mole recipe I'll try with it as well. It doesn't appear I can find the Malbec you recommend but we have others in the NH State stores I will pick up. Malbec is becoming very popular now as I'm seeing it frequently at wine tastings.
- Dr. Debs said...
Malbec, like Tempranillo, is a great alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon in my opinion. Good luck with the Malbec--and the Mole.

The theme of the conference was: "Jesus Christ: Joy and Sorrow." It took place on May 29-31 at the Marten House in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The mission of the Brotherhood of St. Moses the Black is to minister to Americans the gift of Orthodoxy. In an effort to be good stewards of the manifold grace of God (I Peter 4:10), the organization presents an annual conference that targets those who have little exposure to Orthodoxy, as well as the African roots of Orthodoxy. Its vision is to bring Americans closer to Jesus Christ. Ancient Faith Radio and the Brotherhood of St. Moses the Black are happy to provide these lectures for free download and distribution. Share the talks with friends and family.

Mona Lisa and Kip Harding are just your average high school sweethearts with ten children. Except seven of those ten children all went to college by the age of twelve (so far!), and the youngest three are well on their way to joining them.
The three oldest have gone on to become an engineer by 22, an architect with her own practice, and one of the youngest doctors in the Navy. The boys are currently studying to become a computer scientist, a musician/composer, and a scholar of the Middle Ages (who has the highest average in his college classes). The next one now in college (age 11) is already considering the field of law!
Their most oft-asked question is "How did you do it?" This practical, positive book reveals the many parenting strategies that Mona Lisa and Kip use – how they make family decisions, socialize their kids, provide experiences that go beyond the home, and, of course, how they educate all their children. Including tips, daily regimens, practice lessons, a reading list, and more, The Brainy Bunch offers their distinctive yet simple method on how other parents can also achieve success.
Mona Lisa and Kip's story is an uplifting, extraordinary, and ultimately relatable one that any parent can achieve.
"Never judgmental and not without humor, the [Hardings] intersperse their story with strategies and advice…this fascinating read transcends the Christian homeschool market. Written in an engaging and relaxed style, the book tells how all 12 Hardings have accomplished much, and their account is inspirational and uplifting."

Assuming I can play forever, what are my chances of coming out ahead in a coin flipping series?
Let's say I want "heads"...then if I flip once, and get heads, then I win, because I've reached a point where I have more heads than tails (1-0). If it was tails, I can flip again. If I'm lucky, and I get two heads in a row after this, this is another way for me to win (2-1).
Obviously, if I can play forever, my chances are probably pretty decent. They are at least greater than 50%, since I can get that from the first flip. After that, though, it starts getting sticky.
I've drawn a tree graph to try to get to the point where I could start see the formula hopefully dropping out, but so far it's eluding me.
Your chances of coming out ahead after 1 flip are 50%. Fine. Assuming you don't win, you have to flip at least twice more. This step gives you 1 chance out of 4. The next level would be after 5 flips, where you have an addtional 2 chances out of 12, followed by 7 flips, giving you 4 out of 40.
I suspect I may be able to work through this given some time, but I'd like to see what other people think...is there an easy way to approach this? Is this a known problem?

Notification Services Tutorial
The Notification Services tutorial teaches you how to build a simple Notification Services application. The tutorial uses a SQL Server Management Studio solution to make it easy to edit tutorial files and then build the solution using SQL Server Management Studio Object Explorer.
What You Will Learn
In this tutorial, you will build a weather notification application. This application will let users subscribe to and receive weather notifications for individual cities.
You will start with a minimal application definition file (ADF) and use a predefined instance configuration file (ICF) to create an instance of Notification Services that hosts the weather application. The information in the ICF and ADF is compiled and then used to create an instance database and an application database. The databases are used to store data and run the application.
You will then update the ADF to describe the weather event, notification, and subscription data, and configure application execution settings. Every time that you update the application, you apply the changes to the application database.
In the last two lessons of this tutorial, you will add subscriber and subscription data, and then add event data and view the resulting notifications.
This is a simple application that does not use some of the more advanced features of Notification Services, such as digest or multicast delivery, custom event providers, custom content formatters, and custom delivery protocols. However, this tutorial does show the core steps for building a notification application that uses Notification Services.
Before you start the tutorial, you should be familiar with Notification Services concepts and terminology. To learn about Notification Services, see Introducing SQL Server Notification Services.
This tutorial is intended to be used on a single computer that has all the required software installed. Make sure that you have done the following:
- You have installed the Database Engine, Notification Services, and Workstation Components. For more information, see Installing SQL Server 2005.
- You have installed the Notification Services samples. For more information, see Installing Samples.
- You have started an instance of the Database Engine. For more information, see Starting and Restarting Services.
Before reviewing tutorials, you should add Next and Previous buttons to the document viewer toolbar. For more information, see Adding Next and Previous Buttons to Help.
This tutorial is divided into 11 lessons. You must complete all tutorial lessons in order to develop a working Notification Services application.
- Lesson 1: Opening and Examining the Tutorial Solution
In this lesson, you open the SQL Server Management Studio solution and examine the files in the solution.
- Lesson 2: Performing an Initial Build of the Tutorial Instance
In this lesson, you review the application definition file (ADF) for the Weather application and the instance configuration file (ICF) for the Tutorial instance of Notification Services, and then perform an initial build of the instance and application.
- Lesson 3: Adding an Event Class
In this lesson, you add an event class to the ADF that describes event data.
- Lesson 4: Adding a Notification Class
In this lesson, you add a notification class to the ADF that describes notification data, formatting, and delivery.
- Lesson 5: Adding a Subscription Class
In this lesson, you add a subscription class to the ADF that describes subscription data and the rules that generate notifications.
- Lesson 6: Adding an Event Provider
In this lesson, you add a non-hosted event provider declaration to the ADF. This is used to identify events added using the event submission stored procedures.
- Lesson 7: Configuring the Generator and Distributor
In this lesson, you specify where the application's generator and distributor run, and the polling interval for the distributor.
- Lesson 8: Altering Application Execution Settings
In this lesson, you specify generator, distributor logging, and data removal settings.
- Lesson 9: Registering, Enabling, and Starting the Instance
In this lesson, you register, enable, and start the instance of Notification Services.
- Lesson 10: Adding Subscribers and Subscriptions
In this lesson, you add subscribers to the instance database and subscriptions to the application database.
- Lesson 11: Submitting Events to the Weather Application
In this lesson, you add events to the application and then view the resulting notifications.

NEW YORK, May 9 (UPI) -- Actress Gwyneth Paltrow says the gala at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art this week was so "un-fun," she plans to never attend the annual event again.
"I'm never going again," the 40-year-old Oscar winner told USA Today about Monday's star-studded Costume Institute Ball.
"It was so un-fun. It was boiling," she said. "I did not enjoy it at all."
The evening kicked off the museum's "PUNK: Chaos to Couture" exhibition, which will run from Thursday through Aug. 14.
Among the attendees at the gala were Beyonce, Madonna, Anne Hathaway, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Chris Martin, Jennifer Lawrence, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kirsten Dunst.

Michigan based BlueShift Motorcycles is entering into the electric motorcycle business, but instead of the track bred entries we saw for the TTXGP, BlueShift is focusing on the cruiser end of the market. BlueShift describes the bike as a heavyweight and street fighter. At over 600lbs, we'll agree with the heavyweight part of that statement.
All that mass doesn't come for nothing though. BlueShift is claiming 200 lb•ft of torque, and a 0 to 60 time of 3 seconds. Beyond the brawn, BlueShift if claiming some brain too. The cruiser has a special design that will allow for easy rider (A-OH!) customization, and also includes what BlueShift calls "special communications systems and location awareness" features.
All of these details sound very vague to us, and so far only a few CAD renders of the bike exist, yet BlueShift will let you pre-order a bike for $1,000. If you like buying things before they've ever been made, neon lights, and electricity, you can go to their website and lay your money down.

I really want to post in this even though probably everyone's forgotten about it... Maul was 100% loyal to Darth Sidious. He never thought about betraying him (even Sidious knows this), which isn't exactly ideal in a Sith - when the apprentice is strong enough, he/she can overcome the master and become the next Sith Master. Also, Maul was a pawn for Sidious. Which means that he was useful to a certain extent. And it would have taken an even longer time for Sidious' plans to unfold. Why? Because Dooku had all the connections - he was a political leader, and was very wealthy. Maul had none of that. Sidious needed Dooku to launch the Clone Wars and build armies. Maul was simply a warrior.Therefore, as cool as Darth Maul is, I think his death in TPM was necessary as far as story goes. He's a cool evil dude, but he doesn't do much more than that. Heck, he only speaks once in the entire movie!

The NFHR and Trail of Painted Ponies proudly announce the release of Little Big Horse, the first collectible Fjord Horse figurine!
A Tribute to the Norwegian Fjord Horse
Theres a good reason why the Norwegian Fjord Horse was the inspiration for the horse in the animated Disney hit, Frozen. A reason beyond the way its expressive eyes, amiable nature, charming personality, and distinctive crescent-shaped mane made it an endearing character, as distinctive in appearance as a unicorn. Selectively bred by Vikings to be hard-working, dependable and bomb proof, a Fjord was perfectly cast as a little horse with a big heart. (Trail of Painted Ponies)
Little Big Horse stands 7 ¼ inches tall, is 10 ¼ inches long, and is 2 3/8 inches wide. These are numbered, limited edition figurines.
If your order will be shipped to an address outside of the US, please contact our office for the added postage fees. 303.684.6466 or email@example.com>

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- Cooking spray
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 small onion
- 1 medium zucchini (approximately 6–7 inches long)
- 1 cup uncooked quick barley
- 1 (8 3/4-ounce) can no-salt-added corn, drained
Preheat broiler. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, wine vinegar, brown mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, parsley, and basil; set aside.
Coat a 9″ x 13″ baking pan with cooking spray and set aside. Quarter red bell pepper, remove seeds, and place pepper in a large bowl. Quarter onion, separate the layers, and place in the bowl. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices; place in the bowl. Drizzle vegetables with 3 tablespoons of the dressing and toss to coat vegetables. Place vegetables in a single layer in the baking pan.
With the broiler door cracked, broil vegetables 5–6 inches from the heating element for 10–12 minutes. Pull rack partially out and turn vegetables with tongs every 2–3 minutes. Remove pepper when the skin wrinkles and begins to brown; set aside to cool. Remove other vegetables when they are crisp-tender; set aside to cool. When pepper is cool to the touch, peel off and discard skin. Chop pepper into bite-size pieces; set aside.
Cook barley according to package directions, omitting any salt. Allow cooked barley to cool if desired. In a serving dish, combine cooked barley, roasted pepper, onion, zucchini, corn, and remaining dressing. Toss well to coat. Serve immediately or cover and chill.

The ratings are in for the first public impeachment hearings in 20 years:
It was just by a hair, but the debut of the impeachment hearings against Donald Trump yesterday beat Robert Mueller's testimony before Congress earlier this year …barely.
With a grand total of 13,098,000 Americans tuning in to watch the televised opening of the House Select Committee on Intelligence questioning on Wednesday, Ambassador William Taylor and Deputy Secretary of State George Kent topped the 12.9 million who saw the former FBI Director's circumspect stint in the hot seat on July 25.
Having said that with Nielsen numbers from Fox News Channel. MSNBC, ABC, CNN, CBS and NBC now in, the 10 AM – 3:30 PM ET hearing stumbled against another big ticket testimony. The Wednesday event, that the former Celebrity Apprentice host insists he didn't watch, was down a hard 32% from the audience that eyed pink slipped FBI Director James Comey's appearance before our elected representatives in June 2017.
Of note, Fox News lead all networks with 2.9 Million viewers, followed by MSNBC (2.7 million), ABC (2 million), CBS (1.9 million), CNN (1.85 million), and NBC (1.7 million). The number was close the the viewship of the Mueller testimony, and nearly 32% less than the 2017 testimony of James Comey, the highest-rated congressional testimony of the Trump Administration.Comment →

The first public hearings in House Democrats' Impeachment inquiry are set to kick off today in the House Intelligence Committee.
The House impeachment inquiry is set to burst into public view on Wednesday, as two key witnesses who raised concerns about efforts to pressure Ukraine will testify in the first open hearings of the probe.
Bill Taylor, the top diplomat in the U.S. embassy in Ukraine, and George Kent, the deputy assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian Affairs, will appear before the House Intelligence Committee to face questions from lawmakers and committee staff.
Both have already testified behind closed doors, and told members about they became increasingly alarmed that a delay in military aid to Ukraine was tied to the country launching investigations that would benefit the president politically.
Who is Bill Taylor?
William Taylor is the top U.S. diplomat to Ukraine, the chargé d'affaires. A West Point graduate and former U.S. Army officer, he earned a Bronze Star for his service in Vietnam, and has been a public servant for more than 50 years.
He has served in a variety of diplomatic roles under presidents of both parties, including a stint as the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine from 2006 to 2009.
In his closed-door testimony in October, he said U.S. aid to Ukraine had been explicitly tied to Ukraine's willingness to investigate Mr. Trump's political rivals. He also spoke of an "irregular channel" of policymaking including Giuliani, Energy Secretary Rick Perry, U.S. Ambassador to the E.U. Gordon Sondland and Kurt Volker, special envoy to Ukraine.
According to Taylor, there was a concerted effort by what he referred to as this "irregular, informal channel of U.S. policy-making" to pressure Ukraine to commit to opening investigations into unproven allegations of Ukrainian interference in the 2016 U.S. election, as well as into the gas company Burisma.
Who is George Kent?
George Kent is the deputy assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs, overseeing State Department policy toward a number of countries, including Ukraine.
A longtime diplomat, Kent served as deputy chief of mission in the U.S. embassy in Kiev from 2015 to 2018, according to his State Department biography. He previously worked on anti-corruption State Department initiatives in Europe.
Kent provided closed-door testimony echoing Taylor's statements to Congress. He said three officials had declared themselves in charge of Ukraine policy in May: Gordon Sondland, Kurt Volker and Rick Perry.
Kent also said Giuliani had engaged in a "campaign of slander" with no basis in fact against U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch.

Former New York mayor and billionaire businessman Michael Bloomberg is positioning himself to enter the Democratic presidential primary, a longtime Bloomberg adviser confirmed to NBC News Thursday.
"Yes and yes," Kevin Sheekey wrote in an email response to the questions of whether Bloomberg was preparing to run and collecting signatures in Alabama, moves first reported by the New York Times on Thursday afternoon.
Bloomberg's rationale for getting in the race now would be that the field of Democrats isn't strong enough to beat President Donald Trump, according to spokesman Howard Wolfson, who noted that Bloomberg has helped fund Democratic congressional and state legislative campaigns.
"We now need to finish the job and ensure that Trump is defeated — but Mike is increasingly concerned that the current field of candidates is not well-positioned to do that," Wolfson said in a statement to NBC News. "If Mike runs he would offer a new choice to Democrats built on a unique record running America's biggest city, building a business from scratch and taking on some of America's toughest challenges as a high-impact philanthropist."
Bloomberg's wealth would allow him to compete without having to worry about the fundraising challenges faced by other candidates — but if he were to formally launch a presidential bid, it would almost certainly be a target for progressive rivals such as Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., who have been running populist campaigns that argue the rich should be paying more to underwrite programs for the rest.

San Francisco: A big theme at the RSA Conference this year is a concept known as Big Data Security - the idea that massive amounts of data related to both network security and of business context should be stockpiled to be analysed to pinpoint malware, rogue insiders and stealthy attacks aimed at stealing sensitive data.
But the four chief information security officers (CISO) on a conference panel about Big Data Security indicated that they already have their hands full with plenty of security data to analyse on a daily basis to defend their corporate networks, and for now, that's enough. Their viewpoints suggest it may be a while before enterprises, even very large ones, clamor for the kind of Big Data Security deployments that IBM, HP and RSA, the security division of EMC, now insist is the next big thing in corporate security.
But the HP, IBM and RSA concept about Big Data Security is also largely experimental, too, and would require use of security-event information management (SIEM) products from any of these vendors combined with analysis of massive databases of both security-event information as well as business context which combined could help pinpoint attacks.
[NEWS: Hottest products at RSA Conference 2013]
[MORE: HP unveils big-data security strategy]
The CISOs who spoke on the RSA Conference panel -- Ramin Safai from investment firm Jeffries & Co; Alex Tosheff from eBay's X.commerce company; Carter Lee from the e-commerce company Overstock.com; and Praveen Money from managed services provider DataShield, indicated their businesses are constantly under attack of one kind or another, and they and their staff work hard to ward off compromises, identify attackers to recognize their styles and take actions to keep them out of corporate networks.
At these firms, security data related to attacks and suspicious events is big enough. "It's 40 terabytes," said Lee, about the daily security data intake, though even more metadata around these attacks is stored by Overstock.com.
"It's an arms race," said Tosheff of the eBay X.commerce company, who says security-event information comes in from the networking tier, applications tier, and desktops. "We look at 10K events per second."
Safai of investment firm Jeffries & Co. said the firm even uses its own versions of honeypots "PCs we know that are easy to get to and if we detect someone has hit that PC, we try to figure out how." He said the firm makes use of the FireEye and Solera security technologies for packet capture. He adds that expanding business into countries where there's thought to be even more risk has made the security team even more concerned about internal traffic.
Praveen Money from DataShield said the main questions that get asked are how is an attack spread, what was compromised and is there an advanced persistent threat related to stealthy attack, and what was the exploit.
None of the CISOs on the panel, which was moderated by Richard Stiennon, analyst from consultancy IT-Harvest, seemed to express much enthusiasm for the concept of Big Data Security now being put forward by IBM, HP and RSA that calls for analysis of gigantic amounts of data both traditional security and business, such as from human resources (H.R.).
"It's not about volumes of data," Tosheff remarked, though he noted that eBay's approach in the X.commerce division is to "use some H.R. and physical security data. We know that a person is currently out of the country," and geo-location data helps identify potential attacks. He adds a lot of defensive techniques his team has come up with are relatively home-grown and there are "beacons" in the network to monitor the presence of an invading attack to watch what happens before making a calculated response.
For now, it's not obvious why Big Data Security should be getting a whole lot bigger.

Laser Welding of a Titanium Feed ThroughH. Viatge
SORIN Group, France
In all implantable medical devices, one main challenge is to assure no water penetrates in the electronic part of the system. To be able to transmit the electronic information from the inside of the device to the lead without any water infiltration, we used a complex part called feed through. This piece is made of four different materials: titanium, alumina, gold and platinum. It is incorporated in the device by laser welding and as a result it undergoes an important level of thermo mechanic stresses during assembly. The goal of the simulation using COMSOL is to determine the influence of power, frequency, and pulsation length of the laser on the stresses induced in the piece. In a second time we want to optimize the path the laser is following during the process.

Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
This program last aired Dec. 23, 2011. NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "Investing is a lot like comedy. Timing is everything," Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers. That's why he dedicated his entire show to going over the frequent errors that investors make when buying and selling stocks. Cramer said that knowing when to buy and when to sell is one of the most important, and most frustrating, parts of managing your own money. That is likely the reason why there is an entire cottage industry of financial advisers telling investors that it simply cannot be done, that they should just put their money into index funds and leave it there forever. Cramer said that while index funds have their place, telling investors that they're the only way to make money is totally bogus. Timing makes all the difference, Cramer explained. He said there's a big difference between buying stocks at the market peak in October 2007 and buying them at the generational bottom in March 2009. There's a difference between buying stocks before the European financial crisis began to rule the world's markets and after. Cramer explained that one reason timing the markets is so hard is some of the best moments to buy are during the moments of greatest terror. He said that it's almost never the right time to sell when the markets are panicking. History has proven that whether it was the crash of 1987, the flash crash of 2010 or the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, what worked best was to be prudent and not to panic. Perhaps the only exception was the financial crisis of 2008. Cramer said he was widely criticized for telling investors to sell their stocks in October 2008 -- but with the entire financial world as we knew it on the brink of collapse, the call to sell proved to be the right one, and investors were able to side-step the additional 35% decline in the averages. But other than that one special case, Cramer said dumping stocks into a selloff is always the wrong move. "Keep your head, because you will get a better moment to sell," he concluded.

I have recently been working on a set of about 200 Use Case documents, converting them into DITA – an XML-based structured document format. In the body text of a Use Case, there can be cross-references to other Use cases – so we have a many-to-many relationship between Use Cases (just as we could between any type of document). It's interesting to analyse this relationship, to see which Use Cases have lots of outgoing references, and which Use Cases are referenced by many other Use Cases.
This kind of totalling is Pivot Table territory. So the question arises of how to contruct the basic data about the cross-references – a table of A-references-B records – and how to get it into Excel.
A key advantage of XML-based documents is that you can import them into an XML database and run queries over them, where the queries are written in XQuery. Such queries can generate output as XML, HTML or plain text. For our purpose, a simple route is to output an HTML table. This can then be imported by Excel via >Get External Data >From Web. The URL for the import points to our XQuery file, within the database server:
Here, the database is XMLMind's Qizx, running in server mode (locally on my laptop, in this case). This URL can be used like any other in a browser interface, with the results of the query being displayed within the browser. In our case, we are going to give the URL to Excel.
Here's the code of the query:
xquery version "1.0"; declare option output:method "html"; declare variable $ucs := collection("/UC"); declare function local:uc_refs() { for $ucref in $ucs//uc-ref let $file := document-uri(root($ucref)) let $ucreftext := $ucref/text() order by $file return
{$file}	{$ucreftext}	1
 }; let $ucrefs := local:uc_refs() return   <title>UC References</title>

Source	Target	Token

 {$ucrefs}

Variables start with $. The function collection (line 4) scopes the query to a particular directory tree of document files. The expression '$ucs//uc-ref' binds to each occurrence of the <uc-ref> element, anywhere in the collection of documents. $file is the document in which a <uc-ref> is found. The third column of the table (Token) is just the number 1 – this gives me some data for the pivot table to sum.
Now we can do the import into Excel:
Finally, I can insert a pivot table based on this data, subtotalling by either Source or Target, or putting both dimensions on the same axis. I love it when stuff just works…
Out of curiosity, I ran the import with the macro recorder on, to see what the VBA looks like:
Sub Import() With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add( _ Connection:= _ "URL;http://roy-laptop:18080/qizx/xq/ucrefs.xq", Destination:=Range ("$A$1")) .Name = "ucrefs.xq" .FieldNames = True .RowNumbers = False .FillAdjacentFormulas = False .PreserveFormatting = True .RefreshOnFileOpen = False .BackgroundQuery = True .RefreshStyle = xlInsertDeleteCells .SavePassword = False .SaveData = True .AdjustColumnWidth = True .RefreshPeriod = 0 .WebSelectionType = xlAllTables .WebFormatting = xlWebFormattingNone .WebPreFormattedTextToColumns = True .WebConsecutiveDelimitersAsOne = True .WebSingleBlockTextImport = False .WebDisableDateRecognition = False .WebDisableRedirections = False .Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False End With End Sub
So it's just creation of a QueryTable, with the URL given as a Connection string. The WebSelectionType property is 'all tables', although I thought I clicked the lower of the two yellow arrows in the Import dialog. Clearly, we could wrap this up a bit more: selecting from a list of queries, creating a new Worksheet, etc.
Having established the basic XML –> XQuery –> HTML Table –> Excel/VBA architecture, I think I'll experiment more with this in due course.
Incidentally, this is my 100th post (Rah! Rah!), having taken almost exactly two years. And most enjoyable it's been – at least for me 🙂

A 77-year-old Texas woman who fell and injured herself while disembarking from the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad is suing the train for negligence.
The incident occurred July 27, 2011, in Silverton.
Ioma May was exiting the train when she fell to the ground and suffered a fractured humerus, the bone in her upper arm, said her lawyer, William Jack Fahres of Oak Creek.
Her condition deteriorated in the hospital, and she had to undergo rehabilitation, he said. She continues to suffer pain, discomfort, loss of enjoyment of life, physical impairment and mental anguish, according to her lawsuit.
May is seeking in excess of $100,000, according to the lawsuit.
May claims the railroad acted negligently by failing to provide a step box to aid her while stepping off the train.
A step box was provided at the train depot in Durango, but no step box was provided to assist her getting off the car in Silverton, the lawsuit states.
Al Harper, owner of the train, said the railroad has boarded and unloaded millions of people in Silverton, and this is the first time someone has fallen and sued.
The railroad offers to pay medical expenses if someone is hurt, he said.
If theyre trying to come up with negligence or something, then well take all appropriate defenses, Harper said.
The lawsuit was filed Aug. 16 in La Plata County Combined Courts.
