The Permanent Joint Headquarters
The PJHQ, based in Northwood, commands joint and combined military operations and provides politically aware military advice to the MOD.
The Permanent Joint Headquarters (PJHQ) is an adaptable and agile headquarters created to command joint and combined military operations.
Our organisation and responsibilities
Headed by the Chief of Joint Operations (CJO), we are responsible for:
- planning and executing UK led joint and multinational operations
- exercising operational command of UK Forces assigned to multinational operations led by others
- providing policy aware military advice to the Ministry of Defence (MOD).
The CJO appointment is rotational between the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force. The current incumbent is Vice Admiral Ben Key.
The Chief of Staff (Operations) (COS (Ops)) is deputy to CJO and is responsible for the planning and execution of operations.
The rest of PJHQ is organised by divisions (numbered J1 to J9). Each division is led by a senior officer or senior civil servant and is responsible for a particular area of capability.
The specific responsibilities of each division are:
- J1: personnel
- J2: operational intelligence
- J3: current operations
- J4: logistics/medical
- J5: crisis and deliberate planning
- J6: communication and information systems
- J8: finance and human resources
- J9: policy, legal and media operations
We have personnel from the 3 services and the civil service who are responsible for directing, deploying, sustaining and recovering UK joint forces. However, we are not involved the following areas:
- strategic nuclear deterrent
- defence of the UK home base
- territorial waters and airspace
- Northern Ireland
- counter-terrorism in UK
- NATO article V (general war)
Command and control
In addition to our main function, we also have a dedicated Command Secretariat which provides policy, legal, presentation and financial advice to CJO during an operation. Through this close relationship we are able to give politically aware military advice to the MOD central staff including ministers.
Joint Commander
CJO will normally be appointed as the Joint Commander, although Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) may appoint one of the operational Commanders-in-Chief (CINC) to act as a more senior Joint Commander if the operation is of a large scale.
In this case, CJO will act as the Deputy Joint Commander whilst still retaining the mantle of Joint Commander for other operations.
Single service advice
We have a number of dedicated single service appointments that work closely with their respective Operational Command HQs and have ready access to key members of staff and the single service deputies when required.
This complements the advice given by MOD directorates and allows full single service advice to be woven into coherent joint advice before submission to MOD central staff. Thus CDS and ministers are provided with a fully balanced assessment on all aspects of a joint operation.
Supporting commands
The 3 single service CINCs are responsible for providing forces for joint and multinational operations.

Plus: Leo & Bar, and all the latest scoop on star romance
• Neil Patrick Harris enjoyed a romantic getaway with boyfriend David Burtka at Orange Country's luxury St. Regis Monarch Beach recently – and it was a family affair. Joined by Burtka's sister and brother-in-law, the couple indulged in treatments at the resort's Spa Gaucin and shared a champagne brunch at Motif Restaurant.
• In the Big Apple for Fashion Week, Kellan Lutz and AnnaLynne McCord stopped by the Nintendo DSi Studio for a low-key date – though they weren't exactly side-by-side. While the Twilight star was happy to get a demo of the XL gaming system, McCord was busy getting her hair, nails and makeup done. But the two were in constant contact: McCord would constantly check her BlackBerry, sending messages back and forth with her beau, who was on the other side of the suite.
• After the big New York Shutter Island premiere, Leonardo DiCaprio was ready to let loose. The actor brought girlfriend Bar Refaeli to nightspot Avenue, where they headed upstairs to the VIP section around midnight. The two danced together for most of the night and even stopped to kiss a little. According to a partygoer, Refaeli looked like she was "having a great time, laughing and dancing with three other girlfriends," as she drank champagne and moved to the music.
• Khloe Kardashian and husband Lamar Odom made it a family night out at Voyeur in L.A. The couple was joined by the reality star's brother Rob, and were given the best table in the house. While Rob tried to go incognito, Khloe was calling attention to herself, being loud and wildly dancing on the couch all night. Her husband was also pretty reserved, just mingling and having drinks by the bar.

More from our intrepid Aussie reporter Georgia Lewis as she chronicles Australia's recent attempts to win the World's Dumbest Nation award.
I've just come back from three weeks in my home country of Australia – and it was a time of friends, family, beer, beaches, more rain than you might expect, a road trip, a lot of seafood and, in between the merriment, there were plenty of morons to watch. Here is a handpicked selection from Federal politics.
The obvious moron to watch is Tony Abbott, the newly elected Prime Minister and leader of the conservative Liberal Party. The Liberal Party is in power in coalition with the National Party, a right-leaning party that focuses on rural interests. At least this coalition makes ideological sense, unlike the shambolic Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition but a car crash has ensued since the election.
In the space of three months, he has presided over Australia-Indonesia relations reaching a new low over spying allegations, a Burmese asylum seeker from the seriously persecutedRohingya minority getting sent back to a detention centre four days after giving birth to a sick baby by c-section (Abbott is meant to be the pro-family, pro-motherhood, prolife Prime Minister…), a policy to buy boats of people smugglers resulting in no boats being bought from people smugglers, a revolt by state governments of all political stripes over a broken promise on school education funding, an Australian government no-show at COP19, the United Nation's annual climate change summit, and the giving of gun boats to the human rights-abusing Sri Lankan government at CHOGM.
But obviously Abbott isn't doing all this by himself. He is being ably assisted in these endeavours by the likes of foreign minister, Julie Bishop (the only woman in his cabinet), his Gove-like education minister Christopher Pyne, and Bronwyn Bishop, the new Speaker of the House of Representatives (the Aussie equivalent of the House of Commons) who has busied herself setting new standards in bias. It's brilliant!
Now, about these spying allegations… The Australian government has probably been snooping on Indonesia well before Abbott was the PM. But the problem is that now Australia has been busted, the diplomacy by Abbott and Julie Bishop has been pitiful. In this instance, a humble apology by Abbott probably wouldn't have led to Australia cutting back on its surveillance (please let us not be naive here…), but here's the thing about diplomacy – it stops countries bombing the crap out of each other and it is important for maintaining trade relations, which any you'd think a capitalism-loving government would be keen to do.
Instead, we have an embarrassing regional spat. As a result, Indonesia is not really keen to help Abbott with his "STOP THE BOATS!" policy on asylum seekers arriving by sea. FYI it's a policy that is basically a load of shouty, vote-grabbing rhetoric. And none of this nonsense does a damn thing to stop people smugglers, or to improve the lives of people who do take desperate measures to get away from awful situations (such as the Burmese woman who had a c-section and is now back in detention…), or to solve the problem of people who arrive in Australia illegally by plane, or the thousands of British and American people who are in Australia illegally and far outnumber asylum seekers from Afghanistan.
The Australian no-show at this year's COP19 climate change conference in Warsaw was also pretty special. Admittedly, it was probably a tad excessive of Kevin Rudd, the former PM, to send 114 people to last year's COP18 in Qatar in taxpayer expense. But to send nobody was pretty moronic on Abbott's part.
Having been to COP17 and COP18 in the line of duty, I can indeed confirm that there is much hot air generated in terms of endless discussions on climate change and emissions targets. But if you want your country to have a say in agreements that have far-reaching implications for business, the economy and industry, it's wise to send someone along. Hell, if Abbott stands by his climate change-denying views, what better place for him to try and convince the world to come around to his way of thinking than at an international forum?
But Abbott's idea is being part of the international community is to attend CHOGM without questioning the human rights record of the host country, Sri Lanka, and giving them a couple of boats at a cost to the Australian taxpayer of $2 million to help them prevent people from leaving a frequently terrible regime.
But moronic behaviour is not reserved for the government. Kevin Rudd, as the losing PM in the last election, has decided to quit politics. He won his seat in the election so he could always try representing his constituents with dedication and dignity for this current parliamentary term. But he has thrown his toys out of the pram and now the people in his seat will have to go back to the polls for a by-election at further taxpayer expense.
Sigh… I've barely scratched the surface of Australian political morons. I am reserving judgement on whether billionaire Clive Palmer will be a moron MP until he actually says a bit more in the House. Then there is Gina Rinehart, the mining billionairess, who may as well be in Parliament for the influence she is currently wielding. And billionaire James Packer who has plans to build a high rollers' casino in exchange for a $60 million "arts gift" for Sydney and the promise that it will not degenerate into yet another low-rent gambling venue full of poker machines…
Meanwhile, in overgoverned Australia, there are always morons to watch at state and local government level, there is all the fun of successive governments having no idea how to sort out public transport in Sydney, corrupt councils and nanny state road signs. Then again, I have come back to Britain and it's moronic business as usual in the House of Commons here too.

April 3 Event: Eric Curry
Los Angeles Digital Imaging Group
Wednesday, April 3, 2013 from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM (PDT)
Event Details
LADIG welcomes back Eric Curry to our April 3 meeting at West Hollywood Park Hall. Eric going to present his series of photographs: "American Transmigration". Eric literally paints with light to create his photographs. He says, "I am basically taking 25 years of technical special effects photographic knowledge and applying it to objects that we all take for granted in our daily lives. Not shooting images of new "toys" per se, but rather whole scenes of regular objects in their environment. Truly believing that beauty is all around us, we just have to look with a slightly different pair of colored glasses to see it. I'm hoping that the huge amount of energy I pour in to each and every work will help illuminate the inherent beauty in these otherwise average scenes.
With over 400 slides and dozens of anecdotal stories woven into a presentation, this is a wild ride of cutting edge photography, along with a true glimpse at the nobility of character embodied by the volunteers in these images."
This month LADIG also introduces a new Lightroom Spotlight feature. Daniel Sofer and Lee Varis share a photograph and show how they created it in Adobe Lightroom (and sometimes Photoshop), so you can learn more from the official Los Angeles Adobe Lightroom User Group. Greg Dyro will also show his latest Wacky Hacks. Our April event will be held at the West Hollywood Park Auditorium. Doors open at 6pm for some finger food and conversation, then we'll get rolling around 7pm.
Parking is available at the new West Hollywood Public Library at 625 N. San Vicente Blvd., directly south of our meeting location.

More like the mutant bastard spawn, but that's a quibble. Another first inning and another egregious display of base-balling. The Giants made two errors--again--and that led to two runs. Then the hit parade started and never stopped. Here are Ryan Vogelsong's Game Scores (8 starts): 34, 42, 58, 49, 32, 20, 29, 21. He has allowed 44 runs, which is the most in the majors. I can't think about that too much or my head will hurt. Good thing the Giants are heading to a more familiar hell-hole for a four-game set. Nothing weird ever happens in Coors Field.
C'mon, Giants! Pull your collective heads out of your asses and get back to winning games.
p.s. Marco Scutaro extended his hitting streak to 14 games.

Fans in Toronto are still trying to figure out how the Maple Leafs blew a 2-goal Game 7 advantage over Boston in the last 90 seconds, then lost in overtime, a few nights ago. They probably didn't even realize that there was any baseball being played in town.

How many hives should I expect to use per acre for good pollination?
How many hives should I expect to use per acre for good pollination?
Hmmmmmm. I see no answers yet. Good question. I'd like to know too. I have 12 acres with a small orchard and this year had 5 hives. We had a good crop this year. But what is the answer to Merlyn Votaw's question???
On average it seems most need 2 some more others less. Here is a link that may help in what you are looking for. http://gears.tucson.ars.ag.gov/book/
Lots of variables. Depends how strong your hives are; what is the crop; are there other things more attractive to the bees then the blooms on the corp that are available; etc.
General rule is two per acre but that varies, the link Mathis provided is pretty good.
Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid. John Wayne
If you go to Bee Culture's website (www.beeculture.com), you can click on McGregor's Handbook of Pollination. It has a break down by crop, even telling you which crops/fruits/vegetables benefit from bee pollination. It has optimum ranges for number of hives per acre, etc. Hope that helps.

Renaldo Balkman banned from Philippine league after outburst
Balkman with the New York Knicks in 2008 (Photo: Nick Laham, Getty Images)
Former NBA player Renaldo Balkman will need to find another country to continue his career in. The ex-New York Knicks first rounder, who last appeared in the NBA last season, reemerged last week in the Philippine Basketball League, although not exactly for the best reasons.
WATCH: DeAndre Jordan's bid for NBA dunk of the year
After choking a teammate who attempted to restrain him from going after a referee in last Friday's game between his Petron Blaze Boosters and the Alaska Aces, Balkman was fined and banned from the Philippine Basketball League.
Via Reuters:
The former New York Knicks and Denver Nuggets player has also been slapped with a fine of 250,000 Philippine pesos ($6,100) over the incident, Philippine Basketball Association commissioner Chito Salud said in a statement on Monday.
Balkman, who was playing for the Petron Blaze Boosters against the Philippines-based Alaska Aces, assaulted Arwind Santos while his team mate tried to stop him from venting his frustration at a referee's decision.
Salud said he took into consideration Balkman's past record as a player, which included a head-butting incident during a FIBA-Americas game between his Puerto Rico side and Venezuela
"I also took into consideration Balkman's evident disregard for local and the host country's sensibilities highlighted by his choking act on-court in full public view of his own team mate who was trying to pacify him," Salud said.
Balkman, who initially apologized directly after the incident, continued to do so on Twitter Monday.

The final autopsy report on a UW-La Crosse student who was found dead in the Mississippi River in early April has been completed.
Authorities say the cause of death of 21-year-old Jared Dion of Pewaukee is a freshwater drowning with alcohol intoxication as a contributing factor.
The La Crosse County Medical Examiner's office says the autopsy shows Dion's alcohol level at .40, which is five times the level considered legal intoxication. The legal level is .08.
However, police say the manner of his death is undetermined.
Friends said Dion vanished from the downtown area where he and others had been drinking.

Steven Van Zandt, a huge fan, reunites The Rascals
NEW YORK (AP) -- Do you remember your first live concert? Steven Van Zandt certainly does, almost 50 years ago.
It was 1965, and he was at a skating rink in Keyport, N.J. Headlining that night: The Young Rascals, who were promoting their hit "Good Lovin'." The price was $2.50.
"I'll never forget it. It was the most exciting night ever," says Van Zandt, the guitarist for Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band. "They were phenomenal live, really quite different than anybody else. And very, very influential to this day."
Making that night even more special? A young Bruce Springsteen was also there. The two New Jersey natives would meet soon after and bond over the classic American blue-eyed soul band.
Forty-eight years later, Van Zandt has found a way to repay The Rascals by taking the original four-man band to their biggest and most unlikely stage -- on Broadway.
The reunited band will play 15 performances at the Richard Rodgers Theatre beginning next month (performances start April 15), a show combining live performance, video reenactments, archival concert and news footage, op-art backdrops and psychedelic lighting.
The quartet -- singer Eddie Brigati, keyboardist Felix Cavaliere, guitarist Gene Cornish and drummer Dino Danelli -- left a rich legacy of songs including "It's a Beautiful Morning," ''How Can I Be Sure," ''People Got to Be Free" and "I've Been Lonely Too Long."
"The musical depth is astounding when you get into it," says Van Zandt, who runs his own record label and hosts a radio show. "The Rascals are something else. They're up there with the Beatles, and Stones and Byrds. That level of musicality."
The show has some 30 Rascals songs but also finds time to explore their influence on more than music. The band was known to fight discrimination by demanding that a black act appear on the bill at each of their concerts.
Van Zandt, who shares directing duties with visual designer Marc Brickman, says the show marks a new phenomenon for Broadway: not a musical like "Jersey Boys" and also not a concert by, say, Frankie Valli.
He calls it a "bio concert" and thinks it could be the wave of the future. "This could be a new form and a new industry," he says. "We got 'Jersey Boys' with the Four Seasons in it."
Brickman, who has worked with Pink Floyd and The Black Eyed Peas and on the opening and closing ceremonies for two Olympic Games, has built a 50-foot-by-25-foot LED screen that draws in the audience.
"Stories are more important than they've ever been," says Brickman. "So now we're able to have a story told by the band about the band and they're standing right there in front of you as they play. There's an amazing synergistic quality that happens."
Getting The Rascals -- The Young Rascals dropped the adjective from their name when they ditched their schoolboy outfits, knickers and knee socks -- back together has been a labor of love for Van Zandt.
In 1982, after he had success reinvigorating Gary U.S. Bonds' career, he was approached to try to see if he could get The Rascals back together. It was a dead end.
"They were not ready to reunite. And I wasn't in the frame of mind to really go through all the incredible, complicated machinations to figure out why they weren't ready," he says.
Van Zandt kept in touch and in 1997 his efforts to get them into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame paid off. In a humorous speech, complete with a Little Lord Fauntleroy outfit, Van Zandt brought down the house: "To sound that black, you had to be Italian," he joked.
The band may have inadvertently kick-started Van Zandt's acting career. TV writer David Chase happened to watch the speech and thought Van Zandt would be great on his new show, "The Sopranos."
"You can't make this stuff up, can you?" says Van Zandt. "So I have two reasons to be thankful for The Rascals."
The push to really reunite The Rascals began three years ago when Van Zandt and his wife, Maureen, were being honored at a cancer fundraiser. He wanted to do something special, and Maureen suggested he reach out to the band.
"It turned out to be the right moment," he says. "After people throwing money at them for years and them turning it down, I think the idea of coming together for a cancer benefit appealed to them."
It turns out that Van Zandt, who is filming the second season of "Lilyhammer" and planning to join Springsteen's tour after The Rascals show opens, has a knack for navigating old hurt feelings.
"It's just a matter of having the patience and the time and being able to dedicate your focus on them individually, get the whole story, figure out what the differences are between the stories and analyzing the situation," he says. "Therapy and psychology and psychiatry is all part of being a record producer."
Before the benefit, the four members of The Rascals had just three days of rehearsal -- the first time they'd played together in decades -- and Van Zandt was blown away.
"Oh my God, I'll never forget that as long as I live. The minute they started playing it was like 'Oh my God. Wow. It's real, that chemistry thing.' You always hear about that chemistry thing. There it is. It is like magic. I was astounded at rehearsal."
Hoping to keep the momentum going, Van Zandt conceived of the current show. In December the four original Rascals performed it for six sold-out shows at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, N.Y.
For Van Zandt, keeping them together for Broadway was his expression of gratitude. "How do I thank them? Well, reuniting them was not enough in the end," he says. "It was like, 'OK, that's a miracle.' But not miraculous enough for me."

3 Big Ideas to Make Water Last
Only a tiny fraction of Earth's water is available as fresh water.
We're already at the limits of supply in parts of the United States. But even with climate change and growing populations, there's enough for everyone if we work together to keep it clean, use it wisely, and share it fairly.
Purchase the Watershed Moments poster.
Where is our water?
95.7% of the water on earth is salty. 84% of water in the atmosphere comes from the oceans, than falls as rain.
Of the 2.5% of Earth's water that's fresh, about 70% is ice—and inaccessible. [1]
Of the 2.5% of Earth's water that's fresh, about 30% is groundwater. [2]
Of the 2.5% of Earth's water that's fresh, 0.3% is surface water (in lakes, rivers, and wetlands) or water vapor. [3]
Who takes fresh water?
3 big ideas to make water last
Take care of the ecosystems that supply us.
Share it because it belongs to everyone.

Your thoughtful description of the aim and scope of Alinea makes me willing to believe its exulted reputation is warranted. Even though I have little interest in going to Alinea myself because of this type of culinary experience (micro courses), you've shown those who might be that it is clearly worthy of its price tag. Often times, that's a very hard thing to pull off.

2011, Sloan Fine Art, NYC
Shortly after his first son was born, artist Jonathan Viner naturally had fatherhood and his own childhood on his mind. As children, Viner and his twin brother spent hours visiting the robotics lab at the New York Institute of Technology, where their father taught and worked. Faded memories of "computer nerds" playing Dungeons and Dragons, sharing ideas, and celebrating on New Year's Eve came back to him as the artist shuttled between infant care, painting and conversations with artists, critics and enthusiasts over Facebook.
Inspired by the stunning impact these unlikely heroes from his childhood have had on the world, Viner began hunting online for class photos of computer science majors from the 1970's. Those old photos, mined through Google on an iPad, became the starting point for "COMPUTER SCIENCE." Further influenced by great portrait painters from the canon of art history, including Ingres and Currin, Viner set out to recreate these symbolic figures from his youth, infusing them with all of the idiosyncratic humor and thoughtfulness from his memories. Google, Facebook and Apple are blended with hog hair bristle brushes, oils and turpentine. By merging contemporary content and high tech resources with the centuries-old tools and methods of oil painting, Jonathan Viner pays homage to his own father and to the prophets of Computer Science from his childhood who went on to shape the world in which his own son will grow up.
A native New Yorker, Jonathan Viner earned his BFA from Rhode Island School of Design. "COMPUTER SCIENCE" is his fourth solo exhibition in New York and second at Sloan Fine Art.

Nike In Fast-Break Mode With Most Valuable Puppets
May 30, 2009: Nike, apparently playing it safe just in case the anticipated Kobe Bryant and LeBron James NBA Finals match up does not become a reality, this week released three new TV spots in its "Most Valuable Puppets" campaign, via Weiden + Kennedy, Portland, Ore. Nike had been releasing one a week over the past three weeks during the post season. But over the past few days, viewers have seen the odd couple pairing of Muppet-like Kobe and LeBron caricatures playing basketball in their apartment, as co-anchors on ESPN's SportsCenter and as hosts to a young fan whose devotion goes to the extreme. In the SportsCenter takeoff, the two are wearing suits and competing to see who sings the ESPN theme song best ("Da-da-da...da-da-da"). In "Mrs. Lewis," the one-upsmanship that has been the campaign's theme has Kobe telling LeBron, "I have two words for you brother: 81 points," referring to the output the real Kobe had in one game in 2006. LeBron asks Kobe, "You know what 23 is reversed?" in reference to his uniform number. "Triple-double, all the time!" "You think you can get a triple-double on me right now?!" Kobe challenges. "I don't think so." LeBron replies, "Funny, I got a ball right here. What you wanna do?" And they proceed to play ball in the living room with a regulation hoop that happens be there, knocking over furniture, a bowl of popcorn and other objects, stopping only when the phone rings. LeBron answers, and we hear a woman yelling at the other end. "Oh, yes. Absolutely," LeBron answers in what appears to be an apologetic tone. "Yes ma'am." "Who was that?" asks Kobe, expecting to hear a complain about their ball playing. "That was Mrs. Lewis from downstairs," answers LeBron. Then, waiting a moment, LeBron shouts, "She said you ain't got no defense," and the game is on again. In the fifth spot in the series, "Lil Dez," the pair have to babysit Mrs. Lewis' son, a situation that soon turns sour as the kid rambles incessantly. "I can't believe I live downstairs from you guys. Kobe, do you polish your [championship] rings? LeBron, have you ever just sat on anyone's shoulders while you are in the air? How'd you guys pick your numbers? LeBron, you have over 20 triple-doubles. Can I have one? Hey, Kobe. Hey, LeBron. Do you have any new shoes?" At which point they take him into a warehouse size room filed with unopened boxes of Nike shoes, which overwhelms Lil Dez and finally shuts him up. Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers are in the NBA Finals, which begin June 4. James and the Cavaliers could be eliminated by the Orlando Magic on Saturday (May 30); a victory would set up Game 7 on June 1.

If you're interested in pollen and pollinators, you'll want to attend the UC Davis Department of Entomology seminar at 12:10 p.m., Wednesday, Feb. 1 in 122 Briggs Hall.
That's when T'ai Roulston, research associate professor and curator, State Arboretum of Virginia, will speak on "Pollen as a Resource for Pollinators: What Governs Quality?"
Pollen is a bee's protein. Nectar is a bee's sugar or carbohydrate.
T'ai Roulston will be speaking specifically on pollen. "Lab work using the sweat bee Lasioglossum zephyrum has shown that protein concentration of pollen may dramatically influence offspring size," he says.
"T'ai's work on native bees and insect-plant interactions includes pollination biology, foraging ecology, nesting biology, life-history as well as some work on multi-trophic interactions," said host Neal Williams, assistant professor. (Williams is currently in Japan to present a lecture at the International Symposium on Pollinator Conservation, set Jan. 27-29 in Fukuoka.)
Roulston says on his website:
"My primary research area is plant-pollinator interactions, which I study through field and laboratory approaches." These include
1. Studies of pollen chemistry, particularly protein, to characterize the diversity of pollen nutrient rewards and their effects on pollinator host plant choice and larval development;
2. Specialization/Generalization in plant-pollinator interactions
Other research areas include endangered species conservation, habitat fragmentation, foraging behavior and nestmate recognition in social Hymenoptera, and the impact of exotic species on native organisms.
Coordinating the UC Davis Department of Entomology winter seminar series are assistant professors Louie Yang and Joanna Chiu.
If you can't make it to the the lecture, Professor James R. Carey plans to video-record it. It will be posted in about two weeks on UCTV.

Henries Vomhavi and Two Captured Horses
On 3 July 1775, the Massachusetts Committee of Safety considered a special request from a provincial soldier:
Henries Vomhavi, an Indian, having represented to this committee, that he had taken two horses at Noddle's island, one a little horse, which he is desirous of retaining as some recompense for his fatigue and risk in that action, in which, it is said he behaved with great bravery; it is the opinion of this committee, that said Indian should be gratified in his request, which will be an encouragement to others in the service, provided, the honorable Congress should approve thereof.I quoted a couple of reports on the fighting on Noddle's Island back in May 2007. The major purpose of the provincial raid was to seize cattle and sheep, depriving the besieged garrison of meat. Those two horses were a bonus.
The Provincial Congress records for the afternoon of 4 July say:
A recommendation of the committee of safety relative to an Indian's having a horse, was read, and committed to Doct. [John] Taylor, Mr. [George] Partridge, and Mr. [John] Glover. . . .What about the bigger horse that Vomhavi had secured? The Congress had already put that to use on 13 June, resolving "That Mr. [James] Sullivan have liberty to use the horse in Mr. Fowle's pasture in this town which was taken lately from Noddle's island for his journey to Ticonderoga." The legislature was then meeting in Edmund Fowle's house in Watertown, now home to that town's historical society. Evidently the horse was kept as provincial property nearby.
The Committee upon the Letter relative to the Indian's having a Horse, reported. The Report was accepted, and is as follows, viz:
Resolved, That a small Horse, taken by Henries Vomhavi from Noddle's Island, be granted to the said Henries for his own use, to encourage his further brave conduct and good behaviour in camp.
I'd love to know more about Henries Vomhavi, but as far as I can tell this is the only record of him.

Benson H. Roberts
Benson Howard Roberts was the son of Rev. Benjamin Titus Roberts. From 1860 to his death in 1893 Benjamin Roberts edited and published The Earnest Christian, an independent family magazine similar in character but, some would say, journalistically superior to the more widely known Guide to Holiness.
Following the death of the Benjamin in 1893, Benson compiled from his father's editorial writings, which had extended across a third of a century, a book with the title Holiness Teachings.
Works by Benson H. Roberts
Compiled and edited by his son, Benson Roberts, this volume contains a selection of Benjamin Roberts' sermons and other works. B.T. Roberts delivered many of his sermons at revivalist camp meetings, to which hundreds of Christians would come. As well as calling people to commit their lives to Christ totally, he spoke on behalf of worker's rights, women's rights, abolitionism, and the temperance movement. Unwilling to compromise any of his convictions, he followed the leaders of the Holiness Movement in breaking away from the Methodist Episcopal Church and forming the Free Methodist Church. Roberts' vision for transforming the world through Christian teaching has since been memorialized in the name and vision of Roberts Wesleyan College.
Popularity is calculated by comparing this book's number of views to our most commonly read book. Popularity is calculated by comparing this book's number of editions to the book with the largest number of editions.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Cultural exchange involves contrasting the political issues of one community with those of another. Often, students are asked to look at a single political issue as it is articulated in numerous communities For example, teacher Sandra Childs asks her class to compare the politics of beauty in China to those in Jewish, African American, and Hispanic American communities.
Teachers can begin cross-Cultural exchanges by introducing students to a political issue as it arises in one text. Teachers should choose texts that describe unfamiliar political situations which raise immediate political issues. Childs, for example, introduces her students to the "beautification" practice of foot-binding in Chinese culture; foot-binding is not practiced by the students, but it raises the political issue of normative beauty, which most students face every day.
Once students are introduced to an unfamiliar cultural practice, teachers may ask students to look at historical or other primary texts that illuminate how these practices came to be supported by communities. Teachers should be careful to explain how these practices arise from particular sets of circumstances; it's important that students recognize how cultural practices can be created and how they can be changed.
Teachers may then ask students to brainstorm a list of practices -- from any culture they know about -- that reminds them of the practices they've been studying. Next, teachers may break the class into small groups of four or five and ask each group to read a text that addresses the same political issue by questioning a different cultural practice. For example, Childs asks her students to look at personal essays about nose jobs or dieting in order to point out how other communities deal with the pressure to be beautiful. Teachers may ask each small group to prepare a brief presentation, comparing the cultural practices they've studied in detail. Then, as a group, the class can discuss how different cultures might deal with the same political issue. Teachers should ultimately guide the conversation to the students' own choices; students should reflect on how the political issue at hand has affected their lives, and how they can work to make positive changes.
By looking at political questions across cultures, students begin to see how their own political situations are constructed and how they can be changed. Moreover, students are better able to understand and, in some cases, accept unfamiliar cultural practices because they see how these practices have counterparts in their own worlds.

Q & A With Chad Owens [Video]
For those of you who sent in your questions for CFL superstar Chad Owens, I was able to squeeze it in after my interview with him (see below). Thanks for interacting y'all!
[youtube V92s3NfGCTM nolink]
[Big Jim]: Is pro football in Canada better than college football was in the WAC or high school football in Hawaii?
[Chad Owens]: Um, that's a tough question. I don't know if it's better. I don't know what he means, if he's talking about the skill level... It's football right? Anytime you get a chance to go out there and play the game, whether you're here in Hawaii, high school, college, at the professional level: NFL, CFL, Arena (Football) League... You do this because it's what you love to do. It doesn't matter where you are, if you get a chance to go out there and strap it up and play the game, you're gonna go out there and give it your all, and you're gonna enjoy those moments and that's really what I try and do. I try and enjoy that time when I'm out there because one day, it's gonna be all over, it's gonna be done, I'm not gonna be able to do it anymore, so yeah.
[Dean]: Hey Chad, been following you since the UH days. Congratulations on all your success! My question, what do you think are the most effective way to improve the lives of our keiki today and tomorrow through sports? Any plans on one day becoming a coach or mentor for children?
[Chad Owens]: I think the best thing that we can do as grown-ups, as mentors, as parents, is to just guide our children in the right way. And yes, sports is a great way to teach team concept and hard work and all those tools, but the children have to want to play sports. So one thing is you don't want to force them into sports. If it's something that they want to do then great, then you push them towards where they want to be, but the first thing and most important thing we can do for our children is to continue to be a great example for them first because growing up, they become what they see. They become what they're surrounded by so as parents, as mentors, we can just be great examples. And if they do end up playing sports, just continue to encourage cause there's a difference between criticizing, encouraging, disciplining, it's all kind of a fine line with all those things, but keep it fun for them cause that's always the number one thing for kids. They want to go out there and have fun so keep it fun, but keep them going and the main thing is that they work hard and they listen. And yes, maybe one day, down the road... Coach... I mean, we'll see. Who knows? I don't know what tomorrow is going to bring, so maybe one day. But thanks Dean (right?).
[rayboyjr]: Chad: Any possible re-entry back into the NFL?
[Chad Owens]: Um, if a crazy opportunity presented itself, possibly, but as of right now, my focus is on the Toronto Argonauts. It's going into training camp (for) another year. This coming 2013 season and being the best that I can be for my team. If I finish my career in Canada, which I most likely will, it'll be a great ride. The CFL has been great for me. I hope that answers the question.
[Debbie Bruce]: Aloha Chad, You are such a wonderful ambassador for Hawaii and such a positive influence on our youth. How do you feel about the Fan Aloha that follows you everywhere you go? Does it help feed your success?
[Chad Owens]: Well, this Fan Aloha that follows me everywhere I go... Debbie, that would be you! So thank you, mahalo, aloha. *blows kisses* We love you. It definitely helps. It goes back to the support that you get right? It makes you feel special. It really does. It makes you want to go out and work harder for the fans. That's what it is. If there are no fans, what's the sense of playing right? You go out there to entertain, you go out there to perform. We are performers in a way. In a professional way, we are entertainers. Although it's about winning games and winning championships and those things, but if there's no one in the stands watching, to me, it's pointless. So (to) the fans, thank you guys so much. Debbie, again, Aloha, and I'll see you in Toronto next week. I'm leaving on Sunday (5/26/13).
[@KsCollectables (Kevin)] : Hi Chad, as a child growing up did you fight in the back alleys, was it rough where you grew up? Did you always want to try MMA?
[Chad Owens]: I can't say that I fought in the back alleys, but I was always the smallest kid so anytime the bigger kids tried to bully me around, I had to let them know real quick that "Hey, I'm not afraid of you, so what you wanna do?" And somehow, some way, I always became friends with these guys that tried to bully me. I was always a little scrappy kid who wasn't afraid of anything, wasn't afraid of anybody. But I'm not saying that's how I decided to do MMA. MMA is a sport. It's not a backyard fight. Hopefully everyone understands that. It's not a backyard fight, it's totally different. It is a sport, there's techniques involved, you have to train. You can't just go in there and close your eyes and throw haymakers and expect to win. That fight inside of me, it helps me on the football field, it helps me in life, it helps me with everything I do, but thank you. Great question.

Park Highlights
First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park and National Historic Landmark is an archaeological site with possibly the largest bison cliff jump in North America.
Native peoples used this site for at least a thousand years before Lewis and Clark passed through here. The bison jump site consists of a mile long sandstone cliff; there are remnants of drive lines on top of the cliff and there are up to 18 ft. of compacted buffalo remains below the cliff. The park has an interpretive trail, picnic tables and a black-tailed prairie dog town to help the visitor better understand the epic history of hunting on the high plains.
In an effort to pay homage to the buffalo and the people who honor this mighty animal, First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park has a terrific on-site education Visitor Center. The 6,000 square foot center offers visitors buffalo culture exhibits, a storytelling circle, classroom, gallery and bookstore. An outdoor amphitheater and traditional games playing fields are featured outdoors.
For hundreds of years, Indians stampeded buffalo over the mile-long cliff. Now, the top of the jump provides expansive panoramic views of the Rocky Mountain Front, the Missouri River valley, and the buttes and grasslands that characterize this High Plains setting. Plan at least a two-hour stop in this day-use-only park.
Special Events

Centennial Solutions necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 66 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
Our real estate investing company needs a logo bad! We're growing and need to make our company a brand. We need an impressive logo for our website, business cards, stationary, other misc. marketing items. Thanks in advance for your hard work!
Centennial Solutions
We're a small real estate investing company in beautiful Washington state near the Puget Sound. We're looking to grow and need a logo that represents our character and distinguishes us form the competition. We're a hard working, professional, down-to-earth bunch and want our logo to express that. We buy and sell residential and commercial properties and the logo will be common for both so no houses or skyscrapers please.
Designs should include our name and incorporate the colors used on ourwebsite, which is under construction: http://www.centennialsolutions.com.
Logo can be clean, simple, geometric or more complex and include symbolism to the word "centennial". You're probably thinking "Centennial, what the heck does that symbolize?" The dictionary definition of "centennial" is:
1. Of or relating to an age or period of 100 years.2. Occurring once every 100 years: a centennial commemoration.3. Of or relating to a 100th anniversary.4. A 100th anniversary or a celebration of it.
So I'll try and explain what it means to me, without sounding too sentimental or cheesy. It represents success over time, overcoming obstacles, being innovative, and new beginnings. So if that can be conveyed in a logo, have at it.
Designs should include our name and incorporate the colors used on our website, which is under construction: http://www.centennialsolutions.com.
I'm no logo designer, that's why I'm here. So please feel free to ask question or give suggestions. Thanks again!

WASHINGTON (AP) — After an 18-month investigation into Operation Fast and Furious, a Republican congressional draft report concludes that five officials at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives share much of the blame for what went wrong with the gun-smuggling probe in Arizona.
The first of what will be three reports says many people in the chain of command at ATF are responsible, but the investigation singled out five key figures in the controversy, ranging from the special agent in charge of the ATF's Phoenix field division up to the agency's director.
In Operation Fast and Furious, agents employed a controversial tactic called gun-walking — allowing low-level "straw" buyers in gun-trafficking networks to proceed with loads of weapons that they purchased at gun shops in Arizona. The tactic was designed to track guns to major weapons traffickers and drug cartels, but many of the weapons weren't tracked and wound up at crime scenes in Mexico and the U.S., including the site of a shootout on the U.S. side of the border that resulted in the death of a border agent, Brian Terry.
"Suspects continued to acquire weapons under ATF surveillance at an alarming rate," said the report. "In the spring of 2010, concern was mounting among ATF leadership in Washington about the large volume of weapons being sold under Fast and Furious. The case became so large that ATF Deputy Director, William Hoover, requested an exit strategy for the case — something he had never done before."
The operation nonetheless continued into the fall of 2010.
The former head of the ATF, Kenneth Melson, bears a significant measure of responsibility for failing to ensure that the agency's headquarters personnel adequately supervised the Phoenix field division, says the report compiled by staffers for Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. The report also says:
—Bill Newell, the special agent in charge in Phoenix for several years, was a major promoter of the strategy in Fast and Furious. The report said Newell failed to understand the basic legal standards needed for interdicting firearms and questioning potential suspects, a shortcoming that prevented interrogation, disruption and possible arrest of straw purchasers.
—Deputy Assistant Director William McMahon knew that no operational safeguards were in place to prevent the firearms from traveling to Mexico, yet made no effort to stop the flow of guns, believing that it was not his job to interfere in Newell's investigations.
—Assistant Director Mark Chait and his superior, Hoover, had several opportunities to put an end to the operation but failed to do so. Hoover knew that Newell had employed risky tactics in the past yet failed to monitor him closely.
Fast and Furious identified more than 2,000 weapons suspected of being illicitly purchased. Some 1,400 of them have yet to be recovered.
5 ATF officials singled out in GOP report

It has been just over couple weeks since the launch of membase.org, along with NorthScale's partners at Zynga and NHN. In that time, we've been steadily increasing the postings on the wiki and responding to questions on the mailing list, the XMPP Chat and the IRC channel. When questions come up, they tend to be about about how membase compares to other Open Source projects, what kind of client one would use or what the pieces are when deployed.
The world of NoSQL
Generally I think people get that at a high level, membase is distributed, key-value database management system which is designed to scale both up and down, doing so without interrupting data services. It is designed to deliver the same kind of performance apps need to be in the critical path of getting data for the user. Looking at the world of NoSQL, in my opinion, this was an under served area. As a new area there is a lot of experimentation with NoSQL. Some are experimenting with a mix of online and analytics, others are experimenting with looser or eventual consistency, others are adding more data structure primitives on K/V stores and yet others are looking at data in more of a document oriented way. We were aware of and even experimented with a number of these, but we ended up on a different path with membase, as we were trying to solve some very specific problems along with our partners. Apps had been built around memcached. Some portion of those apps absolutely needed SQL; for that, they already have Drizzle, MySQL or PostgreSQL or Cubrid (Cubrid is big at NHN). Another portion of the same apps really didn't need SQL, but they did need the replication, persistence and data management that most of the SQL based RDBMSs provided, albeit with more complexity and management than was typically desired. Enter membase. We could take the existing infrastructure apps had been built around (memcached protocol and clients) and add the requisite level of durability, add rules for allowing admins and developers to control how that durability happens per item, and get smart about how it would run in a distributed fashion.
How does the Rubber Meet the Road?
We needed to inject just a bit of intelligence into the system. The beauty of memcached is that the intelligence is, for the most part, on the client so the server can just be fast and dumb. We didn't want to stray too far from that, but if you expect the system to be non-volatile, have replication and be able to grow and shrink while online, you need the system to have some concept of where things live. That lead to vbuckets, which Dustin's excellent blog covers. With a way to know where things live, we still need durability and replication along with those buckets. That's where the membase engine comes in. The membase engine can be told to replicate a set of data from an alternate node. It can also be told, via a configuration map, who is authoritative for a given bucket. Further up the stack though, the clients won't know about vbuckets. They know modulus or consistent hashing to connect to servers, so we needed something compatible. We already had moxi, which would gave very simple clients intelligence around operation deduplication, intelligent connection sharing, what to do in the case of failures and even some non-coherent caching to speed things up even further. It wouldn't take much more to teach moxi and it's underlying configuration engine, libconflate, to know what to do with the same vbucket map. This would allow existing clients, and even existing applications to get the fast, distributed key/value database they need, so that's what we did.
At its core then, membase is the membase engine which implements persistence, replication and vbuckets to grow and shrink dynamically. To bring vbuckets to clients who don't have that slight extra bit of intelligence, there is moxi. To migrate data between nodes without interrupting service, there is the vbucketmigrator. Keep an eye on membase.org as we fill out more details or come by my talk if you're attending OSCON 2010!

Top Apple iPhone 5 Complaints
The iPhone 5is a marvelous phone. PCMag awarded it an Editors' Choice, calling it the best iPhone ever.
"It takes the iPhone's traditional advantages, like the well-designed consistent hardware and interface, amazing apps, and robust retail support, and literally extends them," PCMag's Sascha Segan wrote in his full review.
Many of those who got their iPhone 5 on Friday appeared to be quite pleased. But not surprisingly, some people have found features about which to complain. Why? Probably because they paid between $199-$399 on contract or $649-$849 unlocked. At that price, they want a perfect phone. One that uses a unicorn horn for an antenna and puffs fairy dust upon command.
Granted, there's some of that in there: The iPhone 5 is the fastest iPhone PCMag has ever tested, thanks to the mysterious, Apple-designed A6 processor. Cygnett's drop test showed that the iPhone 5 can take a beating, compared to other tests that have shattered screens throughout the years. (Nevertheless, the company's point was that the phone should really be in one of Cygnett's cases.)
But the iPhone 5 isn't perfect. We've already run through some of the problems that users have had with iOS 6. Now, after a weekend of use, users have begun to uncover other hardware issues, ranging from the silly to the serious. (Of course, to some Apple fanatics - and technology journalists, we must admit -there is never anything "silly" about their criticisms. Ever.)
At least one of the complaints appears to be a valid bug or design flaw, however, which may impact other users. (And no, we're not talking about Lightning.) It's probably not as serious as the iPhone 4's "deathgrip," but may justify an exchange or two. Read on to find out.
