As I sit alone on one of the many scenic sandy beaches on the northeast end of Kingsmere Lake in Saskatchewan, there is absolute silence. On this warm Friday evening, there is no traffic noise. No blaring TVs. Nothing, except the occasional call of a single loon that glides across the water 15 metres from shore.
The wind dies down as the sun begins to set. Kingsmere Lake is remarkably peaceful, the surface smooth and the water crystal clear. I sit on the beach virtually undisturbed for 30 minutes. It is so quiet that I can hear the beat of my heart. I cannot imagine a more tranquil place on Earth.
There is no one here except myself and my sons Sean and Nathan, who accompany me on a three-day backpacking trip to Grey Owl's cabin, about 80 kilometres north of Waskesiu in Prince Albert National Park.
I think about Archibald Belaney, better known as Grey Owl, who walked this very shore 80 years ago. Perhaps he sat on this same spot, also admiring this beautiful piece of northern Canadian forest.
Grey Owl's cabin, called Beaver Lodge, is located about three kilometres northwest of our wilderness campsite. We plan to hike to the cabin to learn more about the man regarded as Canada's first protector of the environment.
Grey Owl, who lived in the 1930s in a small cabin on adjoining Lake Ajawaan, is the main reason we are making this trip. The hike is also about testing our limits, communing with nature and strengthening the bond between father and sons.
However, it is Grey Owl and his life as a dedicated naturalist, long before the concept was popular, that adds a special element to the trip.
Grey Owl's story is well-known both in Canada and abroad. He was the author of three books about the environment -- Pilgrims of the Wild (1934), Sajo and Her Beaver People (1935) and Tales of an Empty Cabin (1936) -- and his writings reflect his passion for preservation of the planet.
A plaque erected next to his cabin, where he lived with his wife, Anahereo, and his two beavers, Rawhide and Jellyroll, provides insight about the man. The plaque reads:
"I hope you understand me; I am not particularly anxious to be known at all; but my place is back in the woods, there is my home and there I stay. But in this country of Canada, to which I am intensely loyal, and whose natural heritage I am trying to interpret so that it may be better understood and appreciated, here, at least, I want to be known for what I am." -- Grey Owl, 1938
We begin our backpacking trip on the morning of Friday, June 27.
The trip starts with booking campsites, which are quite limited and given out only in person on a first-come, first-served basis, at the visitor information centre in Waskesiu. There are four wilderness campsites along the trail. We decide to book the north-end site, 17 kilometres from the trail head, so that we do the longest hike on Day 1. That allows us to use Saturday to explore the area around Grey Owl's cabin during the day, before packing up and moving on to the Chipewyan Portage campsite (seven kilometres from the trailhead) that evening. That leaves a short hike out on Sunday morning.
It takes only a few moments into the trip to realize that we need to be mindful of both bugs and bears. It would be a gross understatement to describe the mosquitoes we encounter as a problem -- horrendous, horrible, and hellish are more apt adjectives to explain how bad they actually are. While there is some respite at the campsites, we are blanketed by bugs each step of the way.
The trailhead sign includes a warning of bears in the area, and while we do not encounter any, there are plenty of signs of bear activity along the trail and there are bear sightings reported by others we meet on the weekend.
The wilderness campsites have bear caches (raised platforms with detachable ladders) to store food, cooking gear and other items such as toiletries. The cardinal rule of wilderness camping is never leave anything in a tent that might emit an odour that would attract the interest of a bear. A failure to do so can easily result in the loss of a tent -- or worse.
Our goal on the first day is to hike the 17 kilometres to our campsite in about five hours -- with full packs, we travel at a pace of four km/h. But we build in some downtime for food and water breaks, along with time to take pictures, admire the beauty of the trail and swat flies. We make good progress and arrive at our campsite by late afternoon, not having seen another person along the way. One of our favourite spots along the trail is a 100-metre section of downed fir trees about three-quarters of the way to the north-end campsite.
The campsite itself has a plentiful supply of firewood, a firepit and a picnic table. We spend a quiet but enjoyable evening at the site, resting weary muscles and tending to emerging blisters.
On Saturday, we make the six-kilometre round trip to Grey Owl's cabin.
We explore both the main cabin and a second building constructed to hold the many people who used to travel to Ajawaan Lake to visit in person with Grey Owl. His cabin is a simple wooden structure. The front section that overlooks the lake has no floor. Instead, it is cut open to allow for the formation of a beaver dam and a home for his pet beavers. The inside speaks to Grey Owl's spartan lifestyle.
A short walk from the buildings are the gravesites of Belaney, Anahareo and their daughter Silver Dawn.
We talk about how difficult it must have been to live in such a remote wilderness location, and wonder if the harshness of the environment helped cut short Belaney's life -- he died of pneumonia on April 13, 1938, at age 50.
Our final day on the trail ends with an early morning two-hour hike out of the park and then a five-hour drive back to Regina.
The trail roughly follows the Kingsmere Lake shoreline, usually 50 to 100 metres inland winding through the forest floor, along with a couple of sections that follow the beach. It is mostly gently rolling terrain that even novice hikers would enjoy. The trail is well-maintained and easy to follow. There is some deadfall to climb over and wet, marshy areas that are best traversed wearing good quality hiking boots. (The trip can also be made by canoe, an equally enjoyable but less demanding way to visit Grey Owl's cabin.)
Two of the most important considerations of overnight wilderness hiking are to have good equipment and prepare good food.
Equipment starts with footwear. I cannot emphasize enough to not only have good hiking boots, but also ensure they are well broken-in so that blisters do not ruin the backpacking experience.
We are well-stocked with good quality packs, waterproof tents, backpacking stoves, lightweight sleeping bags and self-inflating mattress pads. We also carry a water filter to lighten the load of what we have to carry. We carry about four litres of water each, which is very little on a longer trip. But because we are always close to water, we are able to stop along the way and replenish our supplies as needed.
Quick-dry clothing, waterproof, breathable rain gear and wide-brimmed hats are also must-bring items.
Another useful tip is to attempt to find more than one use for the items you will be carrying. For instance, a sleeping bag stuff sack can easily be converted into a pillow by filling it with excess clothing before going to bed.
It is important to bring nutritious, high energy foods on any trip. But that does mean you cannot eat as well as you do at home.
There are a number of very good backpacking cookbooks available at bookstores. For this trip, I used a number of recipes from the book called A Fork in the Trail, and prepared in advance meals of dried chipotle pork and Moroccan chicken, which we rehydrate at our campsites. We also bring along homemade jerky and dehydrated pineapple and apricots. We also treat ourselves to chocolate mousse -- wilderness style. It combines instant chocolate mix, skim milk powder, dream whip powder and crushed chocolate wafer. Just add water and shake.
Being well-prepared makes the experience much more enjoyable.
Instead of fretting about sore feet, sore backs and unappetizing meals, the trip can be spent enjoying nature at its best.
And that includes being able to sit on a beach in solitude, marvelling at the wonders of nature -- and understanding why Grey Owl developed such an appreciation of Canada's wilderness.

Molenaar, Isaak (1848-1935)
Isaak Molenaar III, a Dutch Mennonite minister, a son of Isaak Molenaar II, was born at Irnsum, Dutch province of Friesland, on 7 December 1848, studied at the Amsterdam Mennonite Seminary 1868-1873; served as preacher in Berlikum 1872-1875; in Almelo 1875-1877; in West Zaandam 1877-1914; retired on 21 June 1914, and died on 12 October 1935. After his resignation a collection of his sermons, entitled Preeken (Amsterdam, 1915), was published by the church board of Zaandam. In 1897 he published a study on S. Hoekstra Bzn, entitled Professor Hoekstra (Haarlem, 1897); he also wrote the articles "Hoekstra" and "Opzoomer" in the Realenzyklopaedie für protestantische Theologie und Kirche, third edition. D. Attema wrote a sketch of his life and work in the Zondagsbode, 20 October 1935.

Hi, I have been have a lot of rubber banding on the korea servers. Is it just me? I am in Japan and while ping stays low, the rubber banding makes it really hard to play.
Hi, I have been have a lot of rubber banding on the korea servers. Is it just me? I am in Japan and while ping stays low, the rubber banding makes it really hard to play.
I was really hoping the thing cyborg matt posted about had something to do with the status. However tonight is the same. The ping stays low but so many spells become invis and it is almost impossible to play. There is so much display lag. I am no pro, but it isn't even fun when you can't actually play the game on the nearest severs.
I can not be the only one experiencing this.
still no change. I would really like to play a game where I can actually see all the spells rather than just lagging when more than one spell is cast.
I was hoping it would go away, but it has not changed. Early on games run fine on sk very suddenly I will lose the ability to play at some random point. I get 5 frames a minute. When I ping there is no packet loss or even a high ping. I stay at less than 50 ping and 0% packet drop rate.
I play from Japan. Is anyone else having this issue?? it is really frustrating. I dont know if its better to play usw or just different game.
Is it possible that those inside sk are getting priority during peak hours and those outside of sk(ie japan) are ranked like tier 2 traffic?
(Sorry for bumping)
I just came back to the game after 6 months break, and was very pleased to see we can now acces korean server. Living in Japan this server is the best one to play for me since i get 130ms+ on West Coast and Australian server, and 80+ on SEA server.
Thing is I get a lot of skipping, rubber banding whatever it is called, where I can't see half the animations of the game (be it auto attack or spells etc...).
Is there some kind of fix to this ? (When i check in game, i got around 30ms ping with 0% packet loss)
Is there anyone on this forum ? o_O
i eventually found out that korea throttles foreign traffic. so you have to proxy to play during peak times and even during off times the lag can pop up. also the proxy isnt a fix to it, only works sometimes. ive been playing sea because sk is too hard regardless of the supposedly low ping.
I'm so glad I found this.
I moved to Korea from the USA around a month ago. I get "rubber banding" in Korean-server games nonstop. My ping is close to 30-60ms while this is happening. I'm so annoyed. I haven't been able to play a decent game of dota since I came here. The SE Asia server is too laggy, even from Korea.
If Korea throttles foreign traffic, I don't see why I would get the rubber banding as I'm in Korea.
Let's please find out how to work this out. I really want to play a legitimate game and get back on ranked.

If you want to deter crime, it seems that you'd want to lengthen prison sentences so that criminals would face steeper costs for breaking the law. In fact, research shows that increases in prison terms have done nothing to deter crime. Criminals, like the rest of us, aren't much influenced by things they might have to experience far in the future.
If a police officer witnesses the death of his partner, it seems that you'd want to quickly send in a grief counselor. In fact, this sort of immediate counseling freezes and fortifies memories of the trauma, making the aftershocks more damaging.
If you want to get people to vote more, it seems you'd want to tell them what a problem low turnout is. In fact, if you want people to vote, tell them everybody else is already voting and they should join the club. Voting is mostly about social membership and personal expression.
These are three examples of policies and practices that are based on bad psychology. The list of examples could fill this page. That's because we spend trillions putting policies and practices into place, but most of these efforts are based on the crudest possible psychological guesswork.
Fortunately, people in the behavioral sciences are putting policies to the test. I know of groups at Duke and Penn that are applying behavioral research findings to policy issues. Eldar Shafir of Princeton has edited a new book, "The Behavioral Foundations of Public Policy," a master compendium of what we know.
One of the things we know is that seemingly trivial changes can have big effects. People who are presented with a wide variety of choices of, say, yogurt, will eat more than people who are presented with a small array of choices or no choice. People who were randomly given a short, wide 22-ounce glass, poured 88 percent more juice or soda into it than people who were offered a tall, narrow 22-ounce glass, but they believed they only poured in half as much as they actually did.
Sometimes the behavioral research leads us to completely change how we think about an issue. For example, many of our anti-discrimination policies focus on finding the bad apples who are explicitly prejudiced. In fact, the serious discrimination is implicit, subtle and nearly universal. In computer shooting simulations, both black and white participants were more likely to think black figures were armed. In emergency rooms, whites are pervasively given stronger painkillers than blacks or Hispanics. Clearly, we should spend more effort rigging situations to reduce universal, unconscious racism.
The research is also leading to new policy approaches. In one clever program, dieters were told to phone in their weight to a nurse daily. Every day they called, they got an encouraging text and a lottery ticket, with a chance of winning a small amount. These dieters lost three times more weight than people who didn't get tickets. Another ingenious program automatically diverts some money into your savings account every time you buy a state lottery ticket.
Prime Minister David Cameron's government in Britain has gone furthest in implementing these sorts of programs. Personalized text messages were found to be six times more effective in getting people to pay fines than warning letters. If you tell people what percentage of their neighbors has already paid their taxes, you are more likely to get late filers to actually pay than if you nag them another way.
My problem with these efforts is that they are still so modest. What about the big problems? How do we get people to restrain government commitments now so that debt down the road won't be so ruinous? How do we calculate the multiplier effects of tax cuts or spending increases among different subgroups of the population, or under different emotional conditions? How do we rig the context of budget negotiations so participants can actually come to a deal? How are people in different cultures likely to react to drone strikes?
These are the big questions, and most of our policies rely on crude folk psychology from a few politicians. But there's hope. As Brian Wansink notes in Eldar Shafir's volume, the 20th century saw great gains in sanitation and public health. The 21st century could be a great period for behavior change.

DOVER — What information does the public have a right to know about a person's criminal record?
That question lies at the heart of ongoing debate around the state's annulment law, which is once again the focus of legislation in Concord. A bill scheduled to reach the New Hampshire House of Representatives this month would reverse some of the recent changes to the state's annulment law.
The law has also been in the news this year following the arrest of a former St. Thomas Aquinas music teacher on child pornography charges.
Daryl Robertson is facing seven felony charges alleging possession of child pornography. The charges come five years after he was arrested for a charge of sexual assault involving a student.
According to a report by the Portsmouth Herald, Greenland Police found a disk at Robertson's former Post Road residence that contained "explicit images of minors engaged in sexual activity." The newspaper reports Robertson had been working as a landscaper and music tutor. The case raises anew the question of whether someone who has been granted an annulment should be entitled to entirely erase the markers of a criminal history.
In 2009, Robertson was given a suspended jail sentence for the assault of a former student. He was later acquitted of the misdemeanor sexual assault charge.
The acquittal gave him the right to petition for post-conviction relief, and the annulment was granted.
However, Strafford County Attorney Thomas Velardi points out that an annulment does not erase all records from history. Some of the facts of a case such as Robertson's still exist in the public domain, Velardi said, even after an annulment is granted.
Velardi wrestled with how much information to release about the case when Robertson applied for a teaching job in Massachusetts in 2009. Velardi forwarded on some police records, which remained public, despite the annulment.
Robertson's case was a rare instance in which Velardi objected to a request for an annulment. Velardi said he knew Robertson intended to work with children in the future, and even though Robertson was found not guilty, Velardi said he felt the public had a right to know about the events that prompted his case.
"The facts of the case are not annulled," he said, explaining that an annulment erases a conviction, but not the evidence in the case. "The facts always exist."
Annulment law timeline
Lawmakers formed a study committee in 2010 to consider changes to the annulment law. The law previously worked by sealing any documents related to an annulment, meaning that a criminal record was essentially erased once an annulment was approved.
A law passed the following year — House Bill 82 — removed civil penalties that previously faced reporters who divulged information about someone's annulment records.
In 2012, HB 1168 went further, setting out in clear language that annulment records should be logged in a court system. The bill "required the records of all criminal offenses which have been annulled to be identified as annulled."
It also established that "the person whose record is annulled shall be treated in all respects as if he or she had never been arrested, convicted or sentenced, except that, upon conviction of any crime committed after the order of annulment has been entered, the prior conviction may be considered by the court in determining the sentence to be imposed ..."
This year, three bills were floated in the House of Representatives to further amend the annulment law. A bill sponsored by Rep. Joel Winters ultimately won support in the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee, picking up 17-0 vote in favor of recommending for passage.
The bill would leave in place the changes that shield members of the media from penalties for reporting on annulments. But it would once again seal the records associated with someone's criminal record after an annulment is granted. This would prevent annulled records from showing up on a background check.
"I think there were some unintended consequences to the legislation that was passed last year," said Winters, a Nashua Democrat.
The bill was due out of the committee by March 7, and it has a House floor date of Wednesday, March 13. Winters said he expects strong support, given the favorable committee vote.
"This bill would bring things back in line with the way they've previously been treated," he said, "and make it easier for people who've made mistakes in the past to go before a judge and have that removed so they can move on ..."
The digital age
Even if an annulment completely erases one's court record, digital footprints are sometimes still left behind.
According to Ted Kirkpatrick, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts at the University of New Hampshire (UNH) and Director of Justiceworks, there's no surefire way to erase one's criminal history in the digital age.
Before the Internet, accessing records involved researching where someone was adjudicated and physically obtaining information. In the near future, court records might be accessible from the comfort of one's living room, he said.
"There's a lack of clarity about what this means in the digital age," he said.
Though most people might expect that all justice systems are integrated and connected and a change made somewhere along the line will change in the entire system, it could very well be that that initial arrest exists on an information system somewhere, Kirkpatrick said.
"Even in the case of an annulment, sometimes the lack of complete integration in our justice systems doesn't delete all the information everywhere," he said. The existence of a historical record, digital or otherwise, is where confusion over how to interpret the annulment law lies and what the meaning of an annulment really is in 2013 and beyond.
"That's the point of contention I think. Even if you have an annulment it doesn't erase the historical record. That's what the public and lawmakers are in a current debate about," he said.
Kirkpatrick said he tells students at UNH who have been arrested that while what happens within the university is protected by law as far as a student's record, police arrests are public record.
"You're never sure whether there's a trace of that that remains on some information system somewhere," Kirkpatrick said.
Foster's staff writer Jim Haddadin contributed to this report.

The Kate verdicts are in, and the comparisons drawn—two jiggers each Farrah Fawcett and Sam Cam, shaken over ice with one dash Liz Hurley. But who wielded the scissors to create her "heavy fringe," as the tabs are calling it? A spokesman for the Richard Ward Salon in London's Chelsea tells VF Daily that Ward himself was responsible for the new style—though on any other details (80s Diana Pinterest boards referenced, etc.), they're keeping mum.
Even though Ward's salon has been Kate's mainstay, she's actually used a rotating cast of characters within the last year. For her trip to Southeast Asia, she somewhat incredibly took William and Harry's palace barber—Amanda Cook Tucker—over a salon representative, and Tucker is said to be behind some of Kate's everyday blowouts. Ward still does her color and hair for big events—the skilled bluebirds he has on retainer were behind that intricate braided bun Kate wore to an Olympics-related red carpet this summer.
But before winter 2011, Kate pretty much just had one guy: 34-year-old James Pryce, the silver-jewelry-wearing, tousled "creative director" at Ward's salon. Besides attending to Kate on her regular visits, Pryce was specifically tapped for Kate's wedding-day hair—he created "the Demi-Chignon" with "couture finish," according to the salon's press release and taste for capitalization—and was later designated as He Who Holds the Curling Iron in the royal entourage for Kate's North American tour.
But seven months after the wedding, in the winter of 2011, Pryce and Ward acrimoniously parted ways. And while The Telegraph and others reported that Kate would stay with Pryce, with Kate as his full-time and only client, that turned out not to be the case. Ward reportedly took legal action over some press reports; Pryce, meanwhile, licked his wounds on a publicity-stunt tour through the U.S., cutting housewives' hair on the strength of his Kate-coiffure connections. Pryce was also banned for six months from poaching Richard Ward Salon clients of all ranks—*hair non-competes!—*and even though he's back in London with another salon, he reportedly has yet to regain the Middletons. (As a consolation prize, he has recently captured Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.)
Up next for Kate and her bangs: a visit to her Berkshire primary school on Friday; a charity event in London on Wednesday; a military tournament on December 9; and The Hobbitpremiere—the next big red carpet for the royal couple—on December 12. We'll see if a Richard Ward updo is still possible with fringe.
Meanwhile, Pippa Middleton has been keeping a low profile since the flagging, sagging sales of her book, Celebrate, have been roundly discussed in the press, but she was spotted out in London's Chelsea wearing an extremely high-waisted skirt. Not her best look, we think?

Excel (and Word, Outlook, etc.) has hundreds of built-in constants that represent numeric values. When reviewing code written in Visual Basic, you may see these constants passed when calling methods or setting property values:
mychart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
But the above line of code won't work on its own in Ruby, as xlColumnClustered won't be recognized as a constant. So, when translating this code to Ruby, how do you get it to work?
In my code examples here, I usually either provide the actual value...
mychart.ChartType = 51
...or explicitly assign the value to a constant or variable myself:
xlColumnClustered = 51
mychart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
In Ruby, constants must begin with an upper-case letter, so 'xlColumnClustered' is really a variable in the last example above. To make it a constant, I should actually name it something like 'XlColumnClustered', with an upper-case X.
How did I know that the Excel constant xlColumnClustered equals 51? Well, I simply googled 'Const xlColumnClustered' and quickly found examples where the constant was being explicitly declared in VB/VBA code ("Const xlColumnClustered = 51"). Googling for 'Excel Constants' will return numerous pages that list all the the Excel constants and their corresponding values. Microsoft provides their own listing here.
Loading the Win32OLE Constants
But you don't have to do it yourself. Ruby's win32ole library allows you to load an object's built-in constants into a class or module. To do so, first create an empty class or module:
class ExcelConst
Then call the WIN32OLE.const_load method. Pass this method your previously-defined Excel application object and your new ExcelConst class:
WIN32OLE.const_load(excel, ExcelConst)
This loads the Excel application object's built-in constants into your ExcelConst class, but each constant will now begin with an upper-case letter, as required in Ruby. Now you can call Excel's built-in constants from your new ExcelConst class. So our original example...
mychart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
...works with only a slight modification, inserting the name of our ExcelConst class and capitalizing the first letter of the constant:
mychart.ChartType = ExcelConst::XlColumnClustered
There you have it. This same method works for loading constants from other win32 application objects, such as Word or Outlook.
By the way, you can review the docs for the WIN32OLE library, including the const_load method, here.
I hope you found this useful. Feel free to post a comment here or email me if you have questions, comments, or suggestions for future articles (or the book).
Thanks for stopping by!

Inmate killed after escape, shootout with police
Michael Schluderberg, 25, killed in Centreville incident
An investigation is under way into a police-involved shooting on the Eastern Shore that involved an inmate who walked away from the Eastern Correctional Institution in Church Hill.
Maryland State Police troopers told 11 News that 25-year-old Michael Schluderberg, of Baltimore walked away from the facility Wednesday evening and broke into a home in the 600 block of Carvel Place Road, making off with a gun, a knife and other items.
A short time later, a Centreville police officer said he found Schluderberg walking just off the shoulder of Route 301 with a bag that matched the description of the missing items. The officer said he tried to confront the inmate, who fired a gun at him and then fled into a soybean field toward a nearby home.
The homeowner told police he saw Schluderberg coming, armed himself and confronted him as he came out of the field.
More officers then arrived and tried to talk Schluderberg into surrendering. Officials said the inmate said they would have to kill him, and he tried to pull something from his waistband.
One of the officers then shot Schluderberg, killing him.
Police said Schluderberg was serving three years at the correctional facility for assault.
Investigators said they recovered a knife, a gun and the items that were stolen at the scene. No officers were injured in the incident.
The southbound lanes of Route 301 in that area were closed for a few hours during the investigation.

Bushwhacked: Why the nuclear deal is (still) a bad idea
April 06, 2006
It's been a month since the Bush show made its way to India to rave reviews all around. However, despite all the fine sentiments expressed and the strained bonhomie on display, it is foolish to be taken in by this new-found 'Hindi-Yankee Bhai Bhai' that seems to have infected even normally sober strategic analysts.
The very first issue is the time it has taken Bush to visit India. He is a lame duck, at the fag end of his career, embattled and faced with Congressional elections wherein the Republicans will almost certainly lose the House of Representatives and perhaps even the Senate. He has become so unpopular that he wasn't even able to ram through the Dubai Port World deal.
At this late stage, Bush simply doesn't have the political capital to push through the nuclear deal -- despite the fact that it is overwhelmingly one-sided and accomplishes through the back door a total crippling of India's deterrent capability -- just because his is a sinking star.
India must play new global power game
But consider that it took Bush six years of his presidency -- and a pressing need for some foreign policy success in the face of major disasters -- before he made a trip to India. Clearly Bush's team considers India 'low-hanging fruit' -- easy pickings, a sure thing, something they could wave about to deflect criticism about their Iraq debacle. The Americans have figured out that faint praise and flattery is all that is needed to bamboozle gullible Indians.
The second issue is endemic and persistent India-Pakistan hyphenation. Neither Bush nor Clinton traveled to India without a side trip to Pakistan, though Clinton's Pakistan sojourn was surreal; and both he and Bush wagged their fingers severely at the durable General Musharraf.
Yet, they could had to club India and Pakistan together. Why? They don't feel compelled to 'do' Taiwan whenever they visit China. Similarly every presidential visit to Japan does not precipitate one to China.
The obvious answer is that Americans still entertain the old Cold War mindset of 'India Pakistan equal equal' and Kissingerian hostility towards India. Furthermore, the US does not give a damn about India's problems with terrorism manufactured by Pakistan. Absurdly, in the just-published tri-yearly National Security Strategy Report India does not figure among the twelve nations 'where terrorists have struck'!
While I condemn knee-jerk anti-Americanism, I resent the patronising tone in the report, which says, 'India now is poised to shoulder global obligations in cooperation with the United States in a way befitting a major power.'
Translation: India is a banana republic being kindly led by the Great White Father, the American President. Let us remember what happened to the Native Americans who were similarly seduced into unequal treaties. American 'Indians' dispossessed then, Asian Indians now.
The nuclear agreement, which proponents wave about as though it were some some crowning glory, is a total disaster. In return for vague Bush promises to try to get the US Congress and the Nuclear Supplier Group cartel to consider providing India with enriched uranium, India is making binding concessions which effectively make it accede to the NPT as a non-weapons state, to the CTBT, to the FMCT, and to a cap on its capability to produce weapons-grade material. India has 'voluntarily' adopted a ban on further testing. All this amounts to the old 'cap, rollback, eliminate' mantra of the State Department.>
'India has something going for it'
Such a one-sided formulation reminds me of the mistake India made in Tibet: giving away major treaty rights in return for the empty siren-song of Third World fraternity. Now India is giving away its credible deterrent for no more than flattery about 'emerging global power'. As Yogi Berra would have it, d�j� vu all over again. When nationalism is considered a sin in India, disaster is pre-ordained. Indians have an unenviable record of sacrificing national security for personal profit.>
To give credit where it is due, Bush did make his intentions very clear at his Asia Society speech preceding his trip to India. He explicitly put India in the category of nuclear supplicant nations, while carefully explaining that they were second-class citizens compared to the nuclear 'haves'. The implication was clear, there is nuclear apartheid against India, and Bush intends to make it permanent.
The sad part of all this is that the Indian government has chosen to take these steps without taking the public -- or Parliament -- into confidence. A transparent debate laying out the pros and cons would have gone a long way towards clarifying what was going on. The fact that this is being treated as a cloak-and-dagger operation is in and of itself reason for suspicion. Imperial swagger on the part of nominated personalities is rather unbecoming.
Furthermore, it is clear that those most in the know, the scientists involved, are not at all happy about the way these negotiations have gone; and putting aside their customary diffidence, they have brought their apprehensions out into the open. People like Anil Kakodkar need to be listened to by the public.
What is even more pathetic is that the putative reasons for the cave-in to the 'cap, rollback and eliminate' mantra are not even sensible. It is as though the government suddenly woke up to the fact that there is a looming energy crisis, although people have been shouting about this from the rooftops.
But the answer is not to go in for nuclear energy, which is a dubious solution at best. Coal, bio-fuels, solar, hydrogen fuel cells -- all have lower long-term cost than dirty nuclear fission. Especially coal, which India has absolute mountains of. Besides, an energy-deficient future merely means a low-growth future; but India has suffered low growth for fifty years due to political folly anyway, and where were these economists then? On the other hand, giving up one's weaponry is like losing one's virginity: it is pretty much non-reversible.
Sacrificing the nuclear deterrent by in effect giving the Americans veto power over India's future fissile material production (whereas Pakistan and China are under no obligation to reduce their nuclear weaponry) is tantamount to collective suicide. Who is going to help India when Pakistanis and Chinese make a pincer movement supported by their long-range nuclear missiles? Answer: not the Americans, that's for sure.
Like lemmings, Indians are heading for the cliff. It is the 'messiah syndrome' I have often noticed. Indians, for unknown reasons, are looking for a messiah or a Mahatma to come and save them. Alas, we are fresh out of messiahs, and in any case, George W Bush hardly fits the role.

If you think (or you've been advised by your tax prior) that keeping your credit card statements is enough by itself to prove business tax obligations, you could be in trouble if your return ever comes up for examination.
That's the message I got recently at the IRS national phone forum on record keeping requirements for small business owners and self-employed entrepreneurs.
Please do not start shredding your credit card statements; they're certainly better than no documentation at all and in some circumstance they might be enough proof. The point of the IRS warning is that in many cases, you'll also need supporting documentation to prove your tax deduction.
And, yes, I realize that for some purchases, there might not be any other documentation. Some vendors who you order from on-line or phone do not provide written order confirmations. In those cases, I suggest you make your own notes about such purchases and keep them in your files.
Remember that the IRS says that for an expense to be deductible for your business, it has to be regular and necessary and for a business purpose. A line on your credit card statement that says, for example, that you spent $ 54.89 at Office Depot on October 15, 2008 does not prove that you bought office supplies. You could just as well have purchased computer games for your kids.
That's why the IRS suggests that you keep the original store receipt that will show details of the various items that total the amount on the credit card statement. And it would not be a bad idea, they say, to make a note on the receipt regarding the business purpose for the items.
If you've been scanning the receipt into your computer, the IRS says that's OK. But they add that they know how easy it is to mess around with electronic files. If they call you in for an audit, they'll test the authenticity of your scanned documentation by having you provide original copies of some of the receipts.
So you probably should just save all of them. If you're concerned that the original paper might deteriorate and become unreadable, make a copy of it as soon as you get it and file the copy with the original.
This advice may not save trees, but it could save you from an unpleasant audit and a higher tax bill.
Just saying.

Perth County (Ontario, Canada)
Perth County, Ontario, is significant in Mennonite history because of the westerly part of the Amish settlements in Easthope Township, because of the westerly section of the Old Order Amish of Mornington Township, and because of the Mennonite preaching appointment at a Lehman home in Ellice Township in 1850-65. The Mennonite Church (MC) in Wallace Township was situated also in the upper area of this county. (See also Lehman, East Zorra, Old Order Amish, Wallace.)

A Forest Green™ is a specially formulated low bleed, high pigment, non-phthalate plastisol screen printing ink. Its creamy texture makes it easier to print using either automatic or manual screen printing presses.
Type: Plastisol Ink
With A Forest Green™, you'll get better performance, production speed and excellent penetration into fabrics when printing through fine mesh counts. It is designed to print easily, allowing you to use a finer screen mesh to achieve the same opacity. That means less ink is needed, and prints are thinner, with a softer feel.
A Forest Green™ is ready-to-use, with a medium gloss finish.
It can be used on 100% cotton and 50/50 poly/cotton blends.
A Poly White underbase is recommended for 100% Polyester.
Underbasing with white is recommended on dark fabrics.
It flashes very fast and cures with excellent wash-fastness.
Plastisol screen printing ink for apparel is brighter and more opaque than water-based screen printing inks. It holds up better under pressure and fades less, ensuring that your shirts can be worn for years.
There's a reason that most of the shirts you see in stores are printed with plastisol ink.
Plastisol pops with bright, luscious color.
It's a durable and reliable choice that makes creating shirts easier.
Professional screenprinters love it because it doesn't dry in the screen or container.
It doesn't erode the emulsion on your screen, so you can print a lot more shirts without adding an emulsion hardener.
It's easy to clean up with merchmakr™ Wipe Out™ press wash.
|Recommended Fabrics
|100% Cotton
50/50 Cotton/Polyester Blends. Poly White underbase is recommended on 100% Polyester.
|Ink Application
|A Forest Green™ should be used directly from the container without any modifications.
|If modification is necessary, use 1% to 5% Low Bleed Curable Reducer by weight.
|Screen Mesh
|60-230 t/in (24-90 t/cm) monofilament.
|Any direct or indirect emulsion or capillary film in the 35-70 micron range.
|60-70 Durometer sharp edge.
|Cure Temperatures
|325ºF (163ºC) for 1 minute Dependent on dryer speed and temperature settings.
|Any environmentally friendly plastisol screen wash. For best results, use merchmakr™ Wipe Out™ Press Wash.
|65º to 90ºF (18º to 32ºC) Avoid storage in direct sunlight. Keep containers well sealed.
Fibrillation can occur when printing on some cotton fabrics, especially when printing through finer mesh counts.
Adding any reducers or additives can lower bleed resistance, reduce opacity, or increase cure times of the ink. Always stir the ink prior to printing and after the addition of reducers or additives.
Test dryer temperatures and wash test printed product before and during a production run.
A Forest Green™ will flash dry with a very low after-flash tack. Dwell time is dependent on the flash dryer method used. In some cases you may have to lower the temperature of the flash unit because too much heat may actually make the ink more tacky. When you flash dry, you only need to partially fuse or gel the surface of the ink. The ink should be dry to the touch, and leave little or no residue on your finger. Flash drying does not require you to completely cure or fuse the ink. Totally curing an underbase white may cause adhesion problems with the inks printed on top of the white ink. Final curing or fusing should occur after the print is completed.

The Truth About Dictatorship
Transitional Justice: How Emerging Democracies Reckon with Former Regimes Studies, 780 pp.; Volume III: Laws, Rulings, and Reports, 834 pp.,
Politik und Schuld: Die zerstörerische Macht des Schweigens [Politics and Guilt: The Destructive Power of Staying Silent]

Spór o PRL [The Controversy about the Polish People's Republic]
The question of what nations should do about a difficult past is one of the great subjects of our time. Countries across the world have faced this problem: Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, El Salvador, Spain after Franco, Greece after the Colonels, Ethiopia, Cambodia, all the post-communist states of Central and Eastern Europe. There is already a vast literature, mostly written by political scientists, lawyers, and human rights activists, rather than historians, and mainly viewing the past as an element in "transitions" from dictatorship to—it is hoped—consolidated democracy. Three invaluable, thick volumes, too narrowly entitled Transitional Justice, document the way the past has been dealt with in different parts of the world up to 1995. The material for a fourth volume is even now being prepared in South Africa, Rwanda, Bosnia, and The Hague.
Yet what exactly are we talking about? There is no single word for it in the English language. German, however, has two long ones in regular use: Geschichtsaufarbeitung and Vergangenheitsbewältigung. These may be translated as "treating" the past, "working over" the past, "confronting" it, "coping, dealing or coming to terms with" it; even "overcoming" the past. The variety of possible translations indicates the complexity of the matter at hand. Of course the absence of a word in a language does not necessarily indicate the absence of the thing it describes. Byron remarks somewhere that while the English do not have the word longueurs they have the thing in some profusion. But the presence of not just one but two German terms does indicate that this is something of a German specialty.1
To be sure, many rivers flow into this ocean, and everyone comes to the subject in his own particular way. The lawyer and human rights activist Aryeh Neier, for example, traces what he calls the "movement for accountability" back to the demands of the mothers of the "disappeared" in Argentina in the early 1980s, and there is no doubt that a major impulse did come from Latin America, with its various models of a "truth commission." An article reprinted in Transitional Justice identifies no fewer than fifteen "truth commissions" established between 1974 and 1994; the present tally is probably close to twenty.2 Yet Germany is the only country (so far) to have tried it not once but twice: after Nazism and after communism.
I have come to this subject through the curious experience of reading my own Stasi file, and, more generally, through watching how the countries in Central Europe have coped—or not coped—with the communist legacy. I recently wrote in these pages about how South Africa has been tackling its horrible past,3 but here I shall concentrate on the Central European experience over the eight years since the end of communism. In particular, I want to compare the very special case of Germany with those of its East Central European neighbors.
In doing so, I pose four basic questions: whether to remember and treat the past at all, in any of the diverse…

meet (one's) match
meet (one's) match
To encounter one's equal or superior in ability, skill, etc., especially in a competitive setting. Stevenson used to be the dominant player on the tour, but it looks like she has finally met her match in the young newcomer. A lot of kids who are used to being the smartest student in school are a little shell-shocked when they meet their match in college.
meet one's match
Fig. to meet one's equal; to encounter someone who can match or outdo one in some activity, talent, etc. John played tennis with Bill yesterday, and it looks as if John has finally met his match. Listen to Jane and Mary argue. I always thought that Jane was loud, but she has finally met her match.
meet one's match
Encounter someone equal in ability to oneself, as in The chess champion was about to meet his match in a computer. This expression originated about 1300 as find one's match, but the alliterative meet was being used by the mid-1500s and has survived.
meet your match
COMMON If you meet your match, you find that you are competing or fighting with someone who is as good as you or is better than you. The United manager, Alex Ferguson, admitted that his team had met their match in Chelsea. The boxer's bruised and bloodied face showed he had met his match in Lewis.

As many of you know I've been in the hospital for five days due to some Crohn's related problems. I went in last Tuesday with pains that were very similar to my last flare up, which led to me to a major surgery that should have spared me 3-5 years. Anyways, I'm in recovery mode from this most recent flare up though I'm not completely out of the woods yet. I'll be heading up to UVA in the next few weeks to have a procedure/consultation on how to treat this from here on out due to the still unknown spots on my liver.
I hope to be getting to some more blogging in the next week or so here. I'm halfway finished with my review of Skeptic Magazine's review of William Lane Craig in their recent issue. Additionally, I'll be lecturing in the next few weeks on fine-tuning, the multiverse, and the problem of evil. I already have these lectures prepared from earlier lectures but I've been reading more papers on the multiverse and I'm looking forward to sharing my thoughts on here. Aside from blogging, I'm a little behind in my research for my epistemology course. I'm hoping to do research on the role of inference in belief formation and belief/paradigm change. I'm also amidst my graduate research on fine-tuning and the multiverse as well as my research in my Thomas Aquinas course on Thomas' thoughts on creation and time.
More to come later on, again, sorry for the lack of updates and posts.

Get DVD Talk Feeds
Nothing's more annoying than settling down for what promises to be a fast-paced crime thriller -- only to discover that the flick you just rented is actually a made-for-TV yawn-fest that you wouldn't even watch for free. Such is the case with Tim Hunter's Kings of South Beach. It's a slick DVD cover in search of something (anything!) exciting. And it doesn't find a whole lot.
Formless and conventional in every imaginable fasion, KOSB stars Jason Gedrick as a semi-slick Miami night-club owner who dabbles in some decidedly illegal activites. Donnie Wahlberg is the sleazebag's right-hand man -- and also an undercover cop who's aiming to bring the whole racket down. From just that simple plot synopsis, you can predict all the key scenes: The tests of loyalty, the cop's struggle to remain noble, the part where we're sure the narc's body-mike will be discovered, and (of course) the patently convenient ending in nothing exciting happens.
One could dismiss the flick as just another half-cooked crime story, were it not for the name of Nicholas Pillegi in the screenwriters' position. This is the author who inspired Goodfellas and Casino for cryin' out loud! Here the writer is peddling little more than flaccid stereotypes and patently predictable plot lines. Gedrick does have a little fun playing a seedy sleazebag, but we've seen Wahlberg play the mono-syllabic cop more than enough times by now.
But the problem isn't the cast; it's the painfully rote screenplay, the paint-by-numbers plot construction and the low-end, network-friendly directorial style. And while Kings of South Beach claims to be based on actual events, I'd contend that those actual events are barely interesting enough to fill a 43-minute episode of Law & Order, let alone a feature-length cable-flick time-waster.
The DVD
Video: The transfer is anamorphic widescreen (1.78:1), but the visual style is full-bore flat all the way. Colors are generally flat and unimpressive, plus you'll notice a little visual breakdown every time the flick "fades out" (for a commercial break).
Audio: A half-decent DD 5.1 audio track. Slightly better than what you got on television, I suppose. Subtitles in English and French.
Final Thoughts
Obvious, listless, and completely predictable from start to finish, Kings of South Beach is little more than a very thin retread of several much better crime stories.

Doctor doggie: An HMO who fetches slippers
Q. What does "Dr. Dog" know about your health? -R. T. Tin
A. Don't sell Rover short, for along with cases of canines wresting their owners out of bed just before an earthquake or tornado strikes are the many documented instances of dogs warning their special people of an imminent medical problem, says Exploring magazine of the Exploratorium Science Museum.
Author Rupert Sheldrake tells of a collie named Molly that senses her owner Lise's epileptic seizures half an hour in advance, then starts staring, barking and licking to alert her. Whether Molly is sensing subtle muscular tremors, electrical disturbances, a distinctive odor, or something else, this type of canine capability underlies formation of Support Dogs and the Seizure Alert Dog Assn.
The journal Diabetic Medicine reported on a study of 43 pet-owning patients, 14 of whom said their dogs could sense episodes of low blood sugar– possibly based on body odor.
Then there's the case of Marilyn, whose Shetland sheepdog Tricia took to sniffing and nuzzling an area of the woman's back around a small mole, reports psychologist Stanley Coren in What Do Dogs Know? The dog grew more and more insistent, until Marilyn finally went to her doctor– and was stunned to get a diagnosis of melanoma. "Tricia's early warning probably saved Marilyn's life."
As a researcher told Coren, "Inspection by a dog may one day become a routine part of cancer screening."
Q. Stands to reason that a plane flying into the wind will be slowed compared to one flying with a tailwind. By how much? Might a plane in a stiff wind wind up flying backward? W. W. Corrigan
A. Airspeed = Ground Speed - Wind Speed, plain and simple. Think of aircraft as traveling on a treadmill of air, says Elizabeth Wood in Science from Your Airplane Window. Going by a posted United schedule, says Purdue aerospace engineering professor Steven Collicott, "I see it takes six hours to fly nonstop from New York to Los Angeles, but only five hours to return. At this latitude, the prevailing winds and jet streams are on average west to east. One hour out of six may not be much to someone working a notebook computer, but for someone traveling with four kids, it is."
Sure, it's possible for a small craft to fly into a strong wind and wind up going backwards, "but it has never happened when I'm around," says Collicott. Yet you see birds doing this all the time, flying stationary if not drifting backwards.
On a historic note, one NASA website reports that the Wright brothers' plane flew at 35 mph airspeed into a 25 mph Kitty Hawk headwind, making for a groundspeed of 10 mph.
"That's likely why Wilbur was able to run alongside the airplane." To reduce initial necessary groundspeed, adds Collicott, planes (as well as birds) generally take off into the wind, with Navy aircraft often aided by the carrier steaming rapidly upwind.
Q. Puzzling survey results: The geography majors at the University of North Carolina reported an average starting salary far higher than geography majors at other schools. So, you savvy statistical types, take a stab at a possible reason... a) UNC has a superior geography faculty; b) UNC attracts superior geography students; c) UNC students are bigger fibbers on surveys; d) other. A. Vespucci
A. Check "other," by the name of Michael Jordan, the very highly paid Chicago Bulls basketball superstar and UNC geography major, say Jeffrey O. Bennett et al. in Using and Understanding Mathematics. People often get these confused, but "mean" (average of all the numbers), "median" (as many numbers above this figure as below), and "mode" (most common number in a list) are totally different statistical animals. Only takes one phenomenal "outlier" to make a mockery of a mean, as in the UNC case. The median here would have been more defensible.

Thursday, September 26, 20194:00PM - Thursday, September 26, 20195:00PM
At Ruffner 356
In this talk, we'll explore how mathematics, specifically graph theory, helps answer questions about how people interact in society. First, I will give a brief introduction to graph theory, discussing important definitions and meanings, and connect graph theory to its applied cousin, network analysis. Second, I will highlight a number of practical way that graphs/networks have been used to model social interactions, from Game of Thrones character interactions to academic collaboration networks. I will conclude by discussing which skills and knowledge are particularly useful for working in this field.
Crystal is a mathematical sociologist and Ph.D. Candidate in Sociology at Duke University. She received a B.S. in Mathematics from Longwood University in 2012, an M.S. in Sociology with graduate minors in Mathematics and Statistics from Iowa State University in 2015, and an M.A. in Sociology from Duke University in 2018. Broadly, her research is concerned with racialized social networks in higher education and how they create, maintain, and reproduce racial inequalities.

Poke several slits in the top of the pastry and brush with more butter. Sprinkle with the poppy seeds. Bake for 40-45 mins until golden brown. Serve either hot or at room temperature with lemon wedges.

The other day, I ran across an interview with Susan Sarandon over there at ontheredcarpet.com that reminded me once again that good things are often born of chaos. Or, as we so often write: We are our failures, those blips in the road that can propel us forward.
But only if we let them.
Back to Sarandon, I'll confess that she has been one of my favorite actors ever since Bull Durham, so I am predisposed to find anything she says to be both witty and wise. Currently, she is starring in "Jeff, Who Lives at Home" — playing a frustrated mom whose loser son lives in her basement while he searches for the meaning of life. She told OTRC that she "could actually relate to Jeff's plight of not knowing what his path should be in life". Which might come as a surprise, considering that she is, after all, an Oscar winning actress. But what she says is this:
"Even if you don't believe in a higher power, there's clearly something that happens out of the chaos. My whole life has been totally serendipitous and everything that's been important to me has come out of the blue and oftentimes against the odds," Sarandon told OnTheRedCarpet.com. "And my daughter says, 'You know mom, it doesn't look good on paper' and I go, 'You know what, I'm just going to jump, I'm going to do it.' I don't mean being reckless, but I think you have to give life the benefit of the doubt sometimes because it's got far more imagination than you do."
In other words, you never know what might be waiting for you just around the corner until you take that leap of faith. It's a pretty hopeful message, yes? But what we've found is that it's a tough one, too. Because it means you have to be willing to take a risk, to live life without much of a net, and, in so doing, accept the fact that there's a chance that you'll fall flat on your keister.
Of course, there's also a chance that you won't: Put yourself out there to ask for that promotion, negotiate a higher salary, work out some flextime, pitch a book proposal — and you just might get what you ask for. Still, it's a message that's hard to hear, especially for those of us running without a roadmap, tackling new territory, new opportunities, making new choices about what to do with our lives without the kinds of historic role models men have had for generations. It's no wonder so many of us want to search for the magical how-to, the "ten easy steps" from here to have-it-all.
Or would rather hear that the staus quo is just rosy, and stick with it, thank you very much.
And that's fine. But you have to wonder what you miss when you steer clear of the cliff. Because when you do screw up your courage and take that leap, good things often follow. Take us, for example: mother and daughter writing a book together. Think about that leap of faith. It's something neither of us could have foreseen back, say, when Shannon was a teenager. Who knew it would work out? But work out, it did — in ways we never could have imagined. (Plus or minus a few spats here and there. Catch us offline if you want the real dope.)
But meanwhile, back to the question at hand: While we're making our way through this relatively uncharted territory, figuring out our way in the world, do we sit tight? Search for some one-size-fits all answers? Or do we take that leap of faith and, as Sarandon says, give life the benefit of the doubt?
