This chapter describes issues associated with Oracle Fusion Middleware administration. It includes the following topics:
Section 4.3, "Documentation Errata for the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide"
This chapter contains issues you might encounter while administering any of the Oracle Fusion Middleware products.
Be sure to review the product-specific release note chapters elsewhere in this document for any additional issues specific to the products you are using.
This section describes general issue and workarounds. It includes the following topics:
Section 4.1.2, "Fusion Middleware Control May Return Error in Mixed IPv6 and IPv4 Environment"
Section 4.1.4, "Limitations in Moving from Test to Production"
Section 4.1.5, "Limitations in Moving Oracle Business Process Management from Test to Production Environment"
Section 4.1.6, "Message Returned with Incorrect Error Message Level"
OPMN provides the
opmnctl command. The executable file is located in the following directories:
ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl: The opmnctl command from this location should be used only to create an Oracle instance or a component for an Oracle instance on the local system. Any opmnctl commands generated from this location should not be used to manage system processes or to start OPMN.
On Windows, if you start OPMN using the opmnctl start command from this location, OPMN and its processes will terminate when the Windows user has logged out.
ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin/opmnctl: The opmnctl command from this location provides a per Oracle instance instantiation of opmnctl. Use opmnctl commands from this location to manage processes for this Oracle instance. You can also use this opmnctl to create components for the Oracle instance.
On Windows, if you start OPMN using the opmnctl start command from this location, it starts OPMN as a Windows service. As a result, the OPMN parent process, and the processes which it manages, persist after the MS Windows user has logged out.
If your environment contains both IPv6 and IPv4 network protocols, Fusion Middleware Control may return an error in certain circumstances.
If the browser that is accessing Fusion Middleware Control is on a host using the IPv4 protocol, and selects a control that accesses a host using the IPv6 protocol, Fusion Middleware Control will return an error. Similarly, if the browser that is accessing Fusion Middleware Control is on a host using the IPv6 protocol, and selects a control that accesses a host using the IPv4 protocol, Fusion Middleware Control will return an error.
For example, if you are using a browser that is on a host using the IPv4 protocol and you are using Fusion Middleware Control, Fusion Middleware Control returns an error when you navigate to an entity that is running on a host using the IPv6 protocol, such as in the following situations:
From the Oracle Internet Directory home page, you select Directory Services Manager from the Oracle Internet Directory menu. Oracle Directory Services Manager is running on a host using the IPv6 protocol.
From a Managed Server home page, you click the link for Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console, which is running on IPv6.
You test Web Services endpoints, which are on a host using IPv6.
You click an application URL or Java application which is on a host using IPv6.
To work around this issue, you can add the following entry to the /etc/hosts file:
nnn.nn.nn.nn myserver-ipv6 myserver-ipv6.example.com
In the example, nnn.nn.nn.nn is the IPv4 address of the Administration Server host, myserver.example.com.
Some JSF applications may experience a memory leak due to incorrect Abstract Window Toolkit (AWT) application context classloader initialization in the Java class library. Setting the
oracle.jrf.EnableAppContextInit system property to true will attempt eager initialization of the AWT application context classloader to prevent this leak from occurring. By default, this property is set to false.
Note the following limitations in moving from test to production:
If your environment includes Oracle WebLogic Server which you have upgraded from one release to another (for example from 10.3.4 to 10.3.5), the pasteConfig scripts fails with the following error:
Oracle_common_home/bin/unpack.sh line29: WL_home/common/bin/unpack.sh No such file or directory
To work around this issue, edit the following file:
MW_HOME/utils/uninstall/WebLogic_Platform_10.3.5.0/WebLogic_Server_10.3.5.0_Core_Application_Server.txt file
Add the following entries:
/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/unix/nodemanager.sh /wlserver_10.3/common/quickstart/quickstart.cmd /wlserver_10.3/common/quickstart/quickstart.sh /wlserver_10.3/uninstall/uninstall.cmd /wlserver_10.3/uninstall/uninstall.sh /utils/config/10.3/setHomeDirs.cmd /utils/config/10.3/setHomeDirs.sh
When you are cloning Oracle Virtual Directory, the Oracle instance name in the source environment cannot be the same as the Oracle instance name in the target environment. The Oracle instance name in the target must be different than the name in the source.
After you clone Oracle Virtual Directory from one host to another, you must add a self-signed certificate to the Oracle Virtual Directory keystore and EM Agent wallet on Host B. Take the following steps:
Set the ORACLE_HOME and JAVA_HOME environment variables.
Delete the existing self-signed certificate:
$JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -delete -alias serverselfsigned -keystore ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OVD/ovd_component_name/keystores/keys.jks -storepass OVD_Admin_password
Generate a key pair:
$JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkeypair -keystore ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OVD/ovd_component_name/keystores/keys.jks -storepass OVD_Admin_password -keypass OVD_Admin_password -alias serverselfsigned -keyalg rsa -dname "CN=Fully_qualified_hostname,O=test"
Export the certificate:
$JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -exportcert -keystore ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OVD/ovd_component_name/keystores/keys.jks -storepass OVD_Admin_password -rfc -alias serverselfsigned -file ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OVD/ovd_component_name/keystores/ovdcert.txt
Add a wallet to the EM Agent:
ORACLE_HOME/../oracle_common/bin/orapki wallet add -wallet ORACLE_INSTANCE/EMAGENT/EMAGENT/sysman/config/monwallet -pwd EM_Agent_Wallet_password -trusted_cert -cert ORACLE_INSTANCE/config/OVD/ovd_component_name/keystores/ovdcert.txt
Stop and start the Oracle Virtual Directory server.
Stop and start the EM Agent.
The copyConfig operation fails if you are using IPv6 and the Managed Server listen address is not set.
To work around this problem, set the Listen Address for the Managed Server in the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console. Navigate to the server. Then, on the Settings for server page, enter the Listen Address. Restart the Managed Servers.
When you are moving Oracle Platform Security and you are using an LDAP store, the LDAP store on the source environment must be running and it must be acccessible from the target during the pasteConfig operation.
If you are using GridLink data sources, the copyConfig and pasteConfig scripts will not update the GridLink data sources on the target. However, the scripts support the proper update of multi data sources when using Oracle RAC.
Note the following limitations when moving Oracle Business Process Management from a test environment to a production environment:
When you move Oracle Business Process Management from a test environment to a production environment as described in the Task "Move Oracle Business Process Management to the New Production Environment" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide, Oracle Business Process Management Organization Units are not imported.
To work around this issue, you must re-create the Organization Units in the production environment. In addition, if any Organization associations with the Calendar rule for the Role exist in the test environment, you must re-create them, using the Roles screen.
For information, see "Working with Organizations" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Modeling and Implementation Guide for Oracle Business Process Management.
Oracle recommends that you move artifacts and data into a new, empty production environment. If the same artifacts are present or some data has been updated on the production environment, the procedure does not update those artifacts.
If Oracle Service Bus is part of the same domain as Oracle SOA Suite, you cannot use the test-to-production procedures described in "Moving Oracle SOA Suite to a Production Environment" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide. you can either install Oracle Service Bus in a different domain, or manually create the production environment.
In Fusion Middleware Control, when you select a metadata repository, the following error messages are logged:
Partitions is NULL Partitions size is 0
These messages are logged at the Error level, which is incorrect. They should be logged at the debug level, to provide information.
This section describes configuration issues and their workarounds. It includes the following topics:
Section 4.2.1, "Must Stop Oracle SOA Suite Managed Server Before Stopping soa-infra"
Section 4.2.2, "Configuring Fusion Middleware Control for Windows Native Authentication"
Section 4.2.3, "Fusion Middleware Control Does Not Keep Column Preferences in Log Viewer Pages"
Section 4.2.4, "Topology Viewer Does Not Display Applications Deployed to a Cluster"
Using Fusion Middleware Control, if you stop a Oracle SOA Suite Managed Server before you stop soa-infra, then you start the Managed Server, the soa-infra application is not restarted automatically. If you try to restart the soa-infra, you will received an error. When you encounter the problem, you cannot close the dialog box in the browser, so you cannot take any further actions in Fusion Middleware Control.
To avoid this situation, you should stop the Managed Server, which stops all applications, including the soa-infra application. To start the Managed Server and the soa-infra, start the Managed Server.
To close the browser dialog box, enter the following URL in your browser:
To use Windows Native Authentication (WNA) as the single sign-on mechanism between Fusion Middleware Control and Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console, you must make changes to the following files:
These files are located in the em.ear file. You must explode the em.ear file, edit the files, then rearchive the em.ear file. Take the following steps (which assume that while the front end is on Windows, the em.ear file is on UNIX):
Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable. For example:
setenv JAVA_HOME /scratch/Oracle/Middleware/jrockit_160_05_R27.6.2-20
Change to the directory containing the em.ear, and explode the file. For example:
cd /scratch/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/applications/domain_name JAVA_HOME/bin/jar xvf em.ear em.war JAVA_HOME/bin/jar xvf em.war WEB-INF/web.xml JAVA_HOME/bin/jar xvf em.war WEB-INF/weblogic.xml
Edit web.xml, commenting out the first login-config block and uncommenting the login-config block for WNA. (The file contains information about which block to comment and uncomment.) When you have done this, the portion of the file will appear as in the following example:
<!--<login-config> <auth-method>CLIENT-CERT</auth-method> </login-config> --> <!-- the following block is for Windows Native Authentication, if you are using WNA, do the following: 1. uncomment the following block 2. comment out the previous <login-config> section. 3. you also need to uncomment a block in weblogic.xml --> <login-config> <auth-method>CLIENT-CERT,FORM</auth-method> <form-login-config> <form-login-page>/faces/targetauth/emasLogin</form-login-page> <form-error-page>/login/LoginError.jsp</form-error-page> </form-login-config> </login-config> <security-constraint> . . . <security-role> <role-name>Monitor</role-name> </security-role>
Edit weblogic.xml, uncommenting the following block. (The file contains information about which block to uncomment.) When you have done this, the portion of the file will appear as in the following example:
<!-- the following block is for Windows Native Authentication, if you are using WNA, uncomment the following block. --> <security-role-assignment> <role-name>Admin</role-name> <externally-defined/> </security-role-assignment> . . . <security-role-assignment> <role-name>Deployer</role-name> <externally-defined/> </security-role-assignment>
Rearchive the em.ear file. For example:
JAVA_HOME/bin/jar uvf em.war WEB-INF/web.xml JAVA_HOME/bin/jar uvf em.war WEB-INF/weblogic.xml JAVA_HOME/bin/jar uvf em.ear em.war
In Fusion Middleware Control, you can reorder the columns in the pages that display log files and log file messages. However, if you navigate away from the page and then back to it, the columns are set to their original order.
In Fusion Middleware Control, the Topology Viewer does not display applications that are deployed to a cluster.
When you change the log file format note the following:
When you change the log file format from text to xml, specify the path, but omit the file name. The new file will be named log. xml.
When you change the log file format from xml to text, specify both the path and the file name.
The following issues have been observed when using the SSL Automation tool:
The script creates intermediate files that contain passwords in clear text. If the script fails, these files might not be removed. After a script failure, delete all files under the
rootCA directory.
If Oracle Internet Directory password policy is enabled, passwords entered for wallet or keystore fail if they violate the policy.
Before you run the script, you must have JDK 1.6 installed and you must have
JAVA_HOME set in your environment.
If the Oracle Virtual Directory configuration script fails, check the run log or enable debug for the shell script to view specific errors. If the error message looks similar to this, rerun the script with a new keystore name:
WLSTException: Error occured while performing cd : Attribute oracle.as.ovd:type=component.listenersconfig.sslconfig,name=LDAP SSL Endpoint,instance=%OVD_INSTANCE%,component=ovd1 not found
This section describes documentation errata for the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.
In the section "Moving Oracle Business Intelligence to an Existing Target Environment When There Are Few Patches to Apply", the procedure is incorrect in the task "(Optional) Refresh Global Unique Identifiers (GUIDs)". Note the following:
Step 3 includes an example of modifying the instanceconfig.xml file to instruct Presentation Services to refresh GUIDs on restart. The step should read:
Modify the instanceconfig.xml file to instruct Presentation Services to refresh GUIDs on restart. Edit the file and find the following section:
<Catalog> <UpgradeAndExit>false</UpgradeAndExit> </Catalog>
Comment out the <UpgradeAndExit> line and add an extra line in this section as in the following example:
<Catalog> <!--UpgradeAndExit>false</UpgradeAndExit--> <UpdateAccountGUIDs>UpdateAndExit</UpdateAccountGUIDs> </Catalog>
Step 6 should read:
Comment out the line added in Step 3 and remove the commenting from the original line so that it reads as shown in the following example:
<Catalog> <UpgradeAndExit>false</UpgradeAndExit> <!--UpdateAccountGUIDs>UpdateAndExit</UpdateAccountGUIDs--> </Catalog>

MapGEN is a program written by Plutonic designed to generate random maps for particular schemes. It was first released on 11th July 2006. As of version 0.3, it now comes with a wormkit module so maps can be generated in game using settings saved in the main program. A folder called MapGEN will appear in the saved levels list containing PNG's for each scheme available.
With the release of wkIndiMask, MapGEN was updated (v0.4.0) to have an editor for changing which colours were indestructable on the map.
MapGEN currently supports these schemes:
- Bows and arrows
- MapGEN can create random maps for the BnA scheme, with a control that varies the density of objects. MapGEN also supports big maps for the BnA scheme, and provides sliders for the width and the height. The graphics for the specks that make up the map can be chosen from 6 defaults or added manually by creating a new folder in the program's bna subdirectory. Due to changes in the way Bow and Arrow is played today because of big maps there is now a toggle to have a density gradient. With this turned on more objects will be placed at the bottom of the map leaving the top empty.
- Fort
- Random forts are generated from sets of tiles. Each fort is created with 8 random tiles from an extensive collection, and then textured to one of three themes (brick, granite or white stone). Additional tiles or textures can be manually added in the program's data directory.
- Roper
- MapGEN can create random ropers, but provides no controls for how they are generated.
- Walk for weapons
- Random Walk for Weapons maps can be generated with a control that adjusts the number of "pads".
- Rope race
- RopeRace maps can be generated to any size up to 8000x8000, the width of the path can be scaled between 82 and 250 pixels. The mazes are always "Perfect" in that they always fill the full space, however they will always place the start and finish adjacent to each other.
- Super Sheep Race
- Supersheep race maps can be generated to any size up to 8000x8000. The width of the path and the number of corners can be adjusted. There are also a few options for smoothing the path. "Smooth" removes all corners, "Edges" makes no attempt at smoothing and "Mixed" will randomly pick areas of the map to smooth. Players always start in the top left of the map.
- Supersheeper
- Supersheeper maps in the form of cavern mazes can be generated to any size up to 8000x8000. The width of the tiles/path can be adjusted. Because of the nature of this game and the likelihood of water deaths, padding can be tweaked from 1 to 5 tiles thick.
- Shopper
- Basic city shopper maps can now be produced (1920x696 only currently). Other varieties of normal shopper are planned.
- Generic Island
- Island maps can be generated in any size up to 8000x8000. The look of the map can be changed using the complexity slider as well as two tick boxes: Complexity Gradient and SuperComplex. Turning on the Complexity Gradient produces islands that have larger and smoother areas towards the bottom-middle of the map and get more fiddly at the edges.
- Generic Cavern
- Cavern maps can be generated in any size up to 8000x8000. Currently share the same settings as Islands, though they dont realy fit and are likely to change.
Future plans
MapGEN is still under development and will support more schemes in the future. These may include:

This almost makes sense except that I suspect the precision of the natural synchronization is much less than the numbers we are talking about and less than I suspect NTP can maintain with a local master (ethernet multicast). Different interconnects and different transports should have a spectrum of per rank precision when coming out of a MPI barrier. It might be interesting to gather some data for different cluster sizes, different transports and different MPIs. Also while focusing on network/transport in this discussion none of us made a comment on rotational latency as a source of uncertainty for the kernel state. If we had the ability to synchronize the systems exactly starting a process would lag for want of rotational/seek disk latency in beowulf'y. Shared memory machines and transports will behave differently. The very high accuracy and high precision clock synchronization is a very real problem for some data gathering systems. Once the data is gathered the computation should be less sensitive. These are different problems and might be addressed by the data sampling devices. Synchronization brings problems.... for example a well synchronized campus can hammer yp server and file servers when cron triggers the same actions on 5000+ systems... I try never to fetchmail at the hour, half hour... I suspect that some system cron tasks should no longer run from cron. Common housekeeping tasks necessary for system health should be run via the batch system in a way that is fashionably late enough to not hammer site services. One site service of interest is AC power. A modern processor sitting in an idle state that then starts a well optimized loop will jump from a couple of watts to 100 watts in as many clocks as the set of pipelines is deep behind the instruction decode and instruction cache fill. A 1000 processor (4000 cores) might jump from 4000 watts to 100000 watts in the blink of an eye (err did the lights blink). Buffer that dI/dT through the PS and it is less but still interesting on the mains which are synchronized. -- T o m M i t c h e l l Found me a new hat, now what?

Check out your first clip from The Last Airbender. Is Wolfgang Petersen directing Rock'em Sock'em Robots? There's a Despicable Me trailer. Plus we debunk Doctor Who rumors, talk Inception improv, hear Dark Crystal prequel hints and discover Being Human casting.
Kind of a light day of spoilers today, I'm afraid. But here's what we've got for you to tide you over for the weekend.
It sounds like there was a lot of on-set improv, judging from this interview with cinematographer Wally Pfister. [Cinematical]
The Last Airbender:
The Fire Nation attacks in your first proper clip from this film. [Yahoo! Movies
Rock'em Sock'em Robots:
Everybody thought Real Steel was a decent enough adaptation of this game, but rumor has it there's a direct adaptation the works, with Wolfgang Petersen producing and maybe directing. Apparently it's Gladiator meets Iron Man, and it's the touching story of a robot that becomes part human, part robot. Okay. [Pajiba]
Despicable Me:
I don't think we already showed you this trailer for this animated movie that has the unenviable task of going up against Predators on July 9.
Creature From The Black Lagoon:
Breck Eisner, who was signed up to direct this film at one point, says he thinks it won't get made for a long, long time, because it's already been stuck in development hell for ages. Plus the failure of The Wolfman hurts it. He explains what his version would have been like, which is sort of an alternate-universe spoiler:
It would have been risky and amazing. The design of the Creature by Mark 'Crash' McCreery was awesome. True to the original, yet obviously updated for today's technology. The journey on the Rita, the boat design, it was ready to go. Scouting Peru, Brazil, Columbia. We went into the jungle of mirrors. It was an amazing experience. I didn't come out of it empty-handed but I didn't come out with a movie, which is what I would have wanted.
Red Riding Hood:
Lukas Haas (Inception) has signed up to join Catherine Hardwicke's dark wolf-y film, playing the village priest. [Variety]
Transformers 3:
This film's set pieces in Chicago will exceed the ambition and scope of what The Dark Knight did there, which included flipping over a 18-wheeler and blowing up a candy factory. [TFLAMB]
Power Of The Dark Crystal:
The Spierig Brothers talked about their plans for this prequel, including introducing a new character who would be computer-generated, and bringing back the popular Skeksis. The film will be in 3-D, using motion-capture, and designer Brian Froud will be back. [AICN]
Doctor Who:
The latest Doctor Who Magazine shoots down some rumors about the season finale. We won't see the Dream Lord again. There won't be any glimpses of old-school races like the Draconians, Drahvins or Zygons, who were namechecked in "The Pandorica Opens." And Russell T. Davies probably won't return to write for the show in season six. [Life The Universe And Combom]
Being Human:
Singer Robson Green will join this show as a werewolf. [SFX]
Additional reporting by Mary Ratliff.

So far we have dwelt on a two-step troubleshooting process — logical mental analysis followed by hands-on investigation and correction. We have explored the three major symptoms — noise, heat, and vibration — of actual or impending hydraulic equipment malfunctions and examined at ways to rack down their causes. Now we turn to analysis of problems exhibited by specific components.
When a hydraulic system has problems, it is common practice to first look at the pump. The pump is arguably the heart of almost every hydraulic system and, as such, has traditionally been blamed for almost every operating problem. Obviously, this cannot be true, but when preliminary troubleshooting analysis focuses on the pump, a series of steps can pinpoint the specific problem and lead to the cure.
Remember that pumps do not "pump pressure." They only deliver hydraulic fluid from the reservoir to the system. Pressure at a pump outlet is the result of some downstream resistance to flow. This is true of all pumps, but not all pumps generate flow in the same manner. Let's begin our investigation of pumps with the two simplest design — gear and vane pumps.
The most common pump malfunctions are inadequate delivery of flow or an inability to develop required system pressure. As a matter of general interest, the failure mode differs between vane and gear pump. Most often, gear pumps lose pumping efficiency over a period of time and fail gradually. Probably, the equipment operator has noticed this slow deterioration of performance. Vane pumps, on the other hand, are most apt to stop pumping suddenly, with little or no advance warning.
The senses of hearing, touch, and sight should play in important role in the first analytical approach. The ear can easily detect the rumble of bad bearings or the distinctive ping of cavitation or entrapped air in the fluid. Our sense of touch can quickly identify excessive heat and determine if it is localized at the pump. The eye can note which components are moving and which are not — and also can read the pressure gauges installed in the system. A gauge at the pump outlet is essential for proper evaluation — and should be added to every hydraulic machine. An alternative is the portable pressure meter that connects to special couplings permanently installed in the system piping.
Figure 10 provides a systematic sequence of troubleshooting steps beginning with a reading of that gauge. No pressure would indicate no flow. The left side of Figure 10 addresses this situation. Note that most of these checks can be made without instrumentation. (Also note that the item on pump assembly would be a consideration only on new installations.)
If the gauge at the pump outlet registers pressure, the steps in the right-hand area of the chart should be followed. The steps require some instrumentation – vacuum gauges and flow meters. Note here that the relief valve and its setting may be at the root of many problems attributed to the pump.

When ecocriticism ignores this nest-pain it does so at its peril. It edits out pain and wishfully thinks the oikos towards essentialist value.
Then some home-pains become better than others: "natural" home-pain is better than the pain of living in an "unnatural" home.
Maybe it's just because I'm visiting my family (break between retreats), but home and pain appear inextricable to me!

Submitted by TimothyMorton (not verified) on
Surely part of the pain of home is the un-homely quality of home—the Unheimlich or Uncanny of Sigmund Freud.
This means that home is painful all the way down. It's not as if there's an un-painful home that then becomes painful as a result of other causes and conditions.
The pain of leaving your parents' nest. The pain of constructing your own home (against what Lévinas calls "the element"—yet made out of it, so that it contains the very outside it wards off).
I've moved house and moved countries often enough to know that this experience is intrinsically painful. And uncanny. Speaking English means that Americans are comprehensible to you when you arrive—and thus, on another level, incomprehensible. And now, when I go back to my "homeland," I feel like a tourist with an English accent...
Home is strangely familiar and familiarly strange. Gobalization only makes us aware of what was already true.
I wonder how cuckoos and their hosts feel?

Submitted by Ashton Nichols (not verified) on
Tim is right, of course about the un-canny, but the uncanny only makes sense because of the canny. The sense of strangeness of new places is only a function of the sense of heimlich in old places. So I sit in my old chair, or I turn the corner and see the old view, or I wander the fields where I walked as a child (mine have mostly been paved over, I fear), and I then get a canny feeling that makes me relax as opposed to tensing up. When I moved recently into an 1829 house that I had never seen until the fall of last year, the house gave off all sorts of canny feelings--as opposed to uncanny--in part because it was so well situated in terms of the land it has occupied for almost two centuries. I get most of my uncanny feelings on the West Coast, I suppose because my canny world is all about the deciduous and softly rolling green hills as opposed to evergreens and harshly jagged rocky hills. Shudder! AN
Ecocriticism is definitely
Submitted by TimothyMorton (not verified) on
Ecocriticism is definitely nostalgic in its longing for a green language where words meant what they said and said what they meant. (I'm one of those people who think that not only is this language strictly nonexistent, but also that this longing is the ideological mode of modernity.)
Ecocriticism in this sense is a recent version of F.R. Leavis's and T.S. Eliot's "dissociation of sensibility." For them, literature lost the plot during the English Revolution (surprise surprise). Before then, especially in the so-called "metaphysical poets," thinking and sensing were organically intertwined.
In effect, this form of ecocritical nostalgia performs two things:
(1) A "return to nature" not just as a return away from modern ennui and artifice, but also as a return to a moment "before" literary theory (you know, the dreaded deconstruction) had occurred. The bugbear here is "postmodern theory"—a phrase that almost defines ecocritical texts as such.
(2) A return to a moment just before socialism was articulated as such—the Romantic period.
Ecocriticism thus sustains the possibility of living in a non-socialist relationship to present social relations, a relationship that is at best mildly critical. Perhaps the environmentalist attitude could be added to the humanitarianism and animal rights that Karl Marx describes in the Communist Manifesto as "bourgeois socialism":
"The Socialistic bourgeois want all the advantages of modern social conditions without the struggles and dangers necessarily resulting therefrom. They desire the existing state of society, minus its revolutionary and disintegrating elements. They wish for a bourgeoisie without a proletariat. The bourgeoisie naturally conceives the world in which it is supreme to be the best; and bourgeois Socialism develops this comfortable conception into various more or less complete systems.
It is summed up in the phrase: the bourgeois is a bourgeois—for the benefit of the working class."

Before then, especially in the so-called "metaphysical poets," thinking and sensing were organically intertwined.
I should have added:
For ecocriticism, the period before the Fall is the Romantic period. This was the moment, ironically, at which for many philosophers poetry became decisively sentimental (i.e. ironic—Schiller) or philosophical-reflexive (Hegel). The moment at which it mourns a forever-lost naiveté.
Ecocritical nostalgia is thus recursive: it expresses a nostalgia for nostalgia.
Nostalgia just isn't what it used to be.
What Marx could not have
Submitted by Ashton Nichols (not verified) on
What Marx could not have predicted was a capitalist democracy is which a worker--in this case a professor--works until May 11 each year before he sees a single centime of his salary. So wealth undergoes redistribution not through worker ownership of the means of production but through a capitalist government's willingness to impose "social" taxation of all sorts up to the point where over a third of a worker's earnings disappear into the mysterious maw of government spending. In a related way, the "capital" of personal experience (memory, nostalgic moments ["I hope I never forget this day"], the sense of the contents of memory as "mine") is an illusion created, as Hume taught us, by the random bundling of one set of sense-data within one mind-brain. But my memory is no more "mine" than my house is "mine." When the state wants to build a highway, my private property disappears into the socialist good of condemnation. Likewise, when the state of "nature" (with Tim's reservations about this word) wants to take back the "home" of personal identity, it does so. When the oxygen stops flowing smoothly to my brain, my memories stumble, then fade, and then completely disappear. My selfhood stops as soon as my synapses stop firing, even if my body--my self's material capital--last for decades. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be because it never "was" in the first place. Just another illusion of the ever-acquisitive bourgeois dream factory. --A.N.

Submitted by TimothyMorton (not verified) on
Okay--I was haunted by the uncanny...
Respect to Ash--but our man Freud specifically says that the "canny" is itself uncanny. German heimische means unheimlich in certain senses. That's the point.
What is most intimate is most strange.
I'm almost tempted to translate into Rumsfeldian: un-canny = un-known.
Un-known, hence unknown known. The un-conscious.
Things we know--but we don't know we know them.
These are the strange strangers. (I abstain from using "animal" or even "life form" at this level.)
We know them--we are them. DNA: You are 98% chimp--also 35% daffodil...(dancing with them and as them).
So nostalgia would be what?
How about this: a yearning for a safe comfortable distance from these strange strangers. A warding off of intimacy.
Craving an essence, a whole, an organicism above ands beyond organisms.
I would argue then that ecology is fundamentally anti-nostalgic.
Therefore nostalgic environmentalisms are anti-ecological. Wow.

Second blog: Nightwish tour USA
Dear reader,
I am writing to you from our backstage in a venue called 'The Grove' in Anaheim. I will go back to where I left you at the last blog, in San Francisco.
In my last words I was hoping to see something of the city. There was no time for this for me though. Fully consumed by all the new things, saving all my energy for the show. My cold was nasty as well so I focused on the show, and the show only! It was a great one!!! The venue was beautiful and gave the magical Nightwish show and extra glance with its theatrical look. This was the third show and for me things were getting easier (even though I did miss some words here and there :-) The fun in the backstage was superb as well, just a great and magical night all the way through!!!
We had a day off after this one and we spend it in LA. We had a great bbq with our dear promoter John and some of the guys had some energy left to go to the famous Rainbow Bar. I went back to my hotel room for a nice long sleep to fight the cold and to get all my reserves back to go for the next round of three shows!
Today we are in Anaheim, right next to Disneyland! We took a taxi to Disney Downtown and enjoyed the sun, the stores and the 'world within a world' there for a little while.
Right now I'll be preparing myself for a second meet and great and of course, the show tonight! I look forward to it!!!
With love,

If you're interested in discovering how most wealthy people amassed their fortunes, this is the course for you. Contrary to popular opinion, most of us don't achieve true wealth through luck or an accident of fate. Just about anybody can build wealth. All it takes is organization, discipline, and a firm knowledge of how to proceed. If you're serious about accumulating a sizable nest egg and living the life of your dreams, this course will supply you with the knowledge and skills you'll need to succeed.
You've probably heard amazing stories of people amassing untold fortunes with seemingly little effort, finding financial freedom through the magic of day trading, shorting stocks, buying and selling commodities, playing the slots, flipping real estate, or some other fad of the moment. These stories sound too good to be true, and that's because they are. All of those get-rich-quick schemes have three things in common: they're unsafe, they're unpredictable, and they tend to produce far more losers than they do winners.
The truly wealthy do not rely on risky games of chance and raw luck to build their fortunes--they focus on creating wealth out of what they already have. If you're serious about living a better life by tapping into your unfulfilled potential, we'll show you the way.
In this course, a certified financial planner will walk you through the steps you need to take in order to achieve true financial success. You'll become comfortable with the broad array of investment choices available to you right now, and you'll discover the best ways to acquire and accumulate both cash and real property. We'll also discuss the tax implications of your investment decisions, along with steps you can take to protect any wealth you acquire.
Kirsten Iseminger has been a Financial Advisor since 1990 and worked for years in one of the world's largest financial institutions. Her clients have included small business owners, high-level executives, and individuals who wanted their wealth to grow. To further her expertise in the financial planning industry and to achieve the highest recognition available for financial planners, Kirsten successfully completed the education and examination process necessary to become a Certified Financial Planner.

Unfortunately, it turns out that subordinate queues and MPI jobs don't play well together, but I don't think Econ is planning on doing much with MPI jobs. One thing you might want to consider is adding a complex to the "high priority" queue. This is just a resource that can be requested in order to get a job submitted into the high priority queue. If you set the complex's requestable flag to FORCED, then it'll only put jobs in those queues if they specifically request the complex. You may also want to look into resource limits. You can place these on the "high priority" queues so that if jobs run for too long, they will be killed. Note, I haven't used resource limits, so I'm not sure how well they work. Based on some of my experience with SGE, I think it might be possible to get around the kill signal from them, but I haven't played with it enough to be certain. Also, if you look at http://gridengine.sunsource.net/, they have a users list for SGE that might also be a good source of info for you. Sean

Although I have made my share of desserts and have some chocolate making under my belt, I do not have much experience with confections. So, I recently decided to expand my knowledge of candy and confections. I started with marshmallows: they are light, soft, fun and seem to be in vogue. They also bring back some fond childhood memories. As I have discovered, marshmallows are one of those things that are much better made at home!
My first attempt at marshmallows a few week ago met with little success. They didn't achieve enough volume and were awfully sticky. My theory of why is fairly simple; the recipe did not bring the sugar to the correct temperature and I substituted white corn syrup—an ingredient I didn't have. Fortunately, I found another recipe and some white corn syrup. This marshmallow recipe can be found at Brownie Points. I halved the recipe for the three batches I made. I wanted to test flavourings that could be added to marshmallow; so, I experimented with a powdered spice, an alcohol and a fruit. The three I tried were cardamom, melon liqueur and strawberry.
cardamom marshmallow
add 1 teaspoon ground cardamom to the gelatin and water mixture
melon marshmallow
I used 1/2 cup of Midori Liqueur—a melon flavoured liqueur from Japan. I reduced the midori liqueur to 1/4 cup to concentrate the flavour and to take out the alcohol. I added the reduced Midori to a gelatin and 1/4 cup water mixture. I also omitted the vanilla extract. It is important to remove the alcohol content from the liquor; otherwise, your marshmallow will not get the volume required.
strawberry marshmallow
I used a 1/4 cup of strawberry juice. You can also use strawberry puree. Add the juice or puree to the gelatin mixture with 1/4 cup water and omit the vanilla extract. To make strawberry juice, place strawberries in a double boiler and heat for 15-20 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve or cheese cloth to recover as much liquid as possible.
In the end, I was pleased with how the marshmallows turned out. I'm fond of cardamom as a spice; so I liked the cardamom marshmallow best. Marshmallow is surprisingly simple to make, once you have a little practice.

When the IP address of a Citrix Application Delivery Controller (ADC) instance is added to Citrix Application Delivery Management (ADM), Citrix ADM sends a NITRO call and implicitly adds itself as a trap destination for the instance to receive its traps or events.
Events represent occurences of events or errors on a managed Citrix ADC instance. For example, when there is a system failure or change in configuration an event is generated and recorded on the Citrix ADM server. Events received in Citrix ADM are displayed on the Events Summary page (Networks > Events), and all active events are displayed in the Event Messages page (Networks > Events > Event Messages).
Citrix ADM also checks on the events generated on instances to form alarms of different severity levels and displays them as messages, some of which may require immediate attention. For example, system failure could be categorized as a "Critical" event severity and would need to be addressed immediately.
You can configure rules to monitor specific events. Rules make it easier to monitor a large number of events generated across your Citrix ADC infrastructure.
You can filter a set of events by configuring rules with specific conditions and assigning actions to the rules. When the events generated meet the filter criteria in the rule, the action associated with the rule is executed. The conditions for which you can create filters are: severity, Citrix ADC instances, category, failure objects, configuration commands, and messages.
You can also ensure that multiple notifications are triggered for a specific time interval for an event until the event is cleared. As an additional measure, you may customize your email with a specific subject line, user message, and upload an attachment.

John Marshall, (born Sept. 24, 1755, near Germantown [now Midland], Va.—died July 6, 1835, Philadelphia, Pa.), fourth chief justice of the United States and principal founder of the U.S. system of constitutional law. As perhaps the Supreme Court's most influential chief justice, Marshall was responsible for constructing and defending both the foundation of judicial power and the principles of American federalism. The first of his great cases in more than 30 years of service was Marbury v. Madison (1803), which established the Supreme Court's right to expound constitutional law and exercise judicial review by declaring laws unconstitutional. His defense of federalism was articulated in McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), which upheld the authority of Congress to create the Bank of the United States and declared unconstitutional the right of a state to tax an instrument of the federal government. In his ruling on McCulloch, Marshall at once explained the authority of the court to interpret the constitution, the nature of federal-state relations inherent in a federal system of government, and the democratic nature of both the U.S. government and its governing. During his tenure as chief justice, Marshall participated in more than 1,000 decisions, writing more than 500 of them himself.
John Marshall was born in a log cabin and was the eldest of 15 children of Thomas Marshall, a sheriff, justice of the peace, and land surveyor who came to own some 200,000 acres (80,000 ha) of land in Virginia and Kentucky and who was a leading figure in Prince William county (from 1759 Fauquier county), Va., and Mary Keith Marshall, a clergyman's daughter whose family was related to both the Randolphs and the Lees (two of Virginia's most prominent families). Marshall's childhood and youth were spent in the near-frontier region of Fauquier county, and he later lived in the Blue Ridge mountain area where his father had acquired properties. His schooling was primarily provided by his parents, supplemented only by the instruction afforded by a visiting clergyman who lived with the family for about a year and by a few months of slightly more formal training at an academy in Westmoreland county.
Early career
When political debate with England was followed by armed clashes in 1775, Marshall, as lieutenant, joined his father in a Virginia regiment of minutemen and participated in the first fighting in that colony. Joining the Continental Army in 1776, Marshall served under George Washington for three years in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, his service including the harsh winter of 1777–78 at Valley Forge. He eventually rose to the rank of captain, and when the term of service of his Virginia troops expired in 1779, Marshall returned to Virginia and thereafter saw little active service prior to his discharge in 1781.
Marshall's only formal legal training was a brief course of lectures he attended in 1780 at William and Mary College given by George Wythe, an early advocate of judicial review. Licensed to practice law in August 1780, Marshall returned to Fauquier county and was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1782 and 1784. Attending the sessions of the legislature in the state capital at Richmond, he established a law practice there and made the city his home after his marriage to Mary Ambler in January 1783.
For the next 15 years Marshall's career was marked by increasing stature at the bar of Virginia and within Virginia politics. Although by 1787 he had not achieved a public position that would have sent him as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, he was an active, if junior, proponent of the new Constitution of the United States in the closely contested fight for ratification. That year Marshall was elected to the legislature that would take the first step toward ratification by issuing a call for a convention in Virginia to consider ratifying; he was also elected a delegate to the convention. His principal effort on the floor of the convention was, perhaps prophetically, a defense of the judiciary article. He then used his acknowledged popularity to gain or build the narrow margin by which Virginia's ratification of the Constitution was won.
Shortly after the new constitution came into force, President Washington offered Marshall appointment as U.S. attorney for Virginia, a post Marshall declined. In 1789, however, he sought and obtained a further term in Virginia's House of Delegates as a supporter of the national government. As party lines emerged and became defined in the 1790s, Marshall was recognized as one of the leaders of the Federalist Party in Virginia. In 1795 Washington tendered him an appointment as attorney general. This, too, was declined, but Marshall returned to the state legislature as a Federalist leader.
In 1797 Marshall accepted an appointment by Pres. John Adams to serve as a member of a commission, with Elbridge Gerry and Charles C. Pinckney, that unsuccessfully sought to improve relations with the government of France. After the mission, reports were published that disclosed that certain intermediaries, some shadowy figures known as X, Y, and Z (see XYZ Affair), had approached the commissioners and informed them that they would not be received by the French government unless they first paid large bribes; the reports further revealed that these advances had been rebuffed in a memorandum prepared by Marshall. Marshall subsequently became a popular figure, and the conduct of his mission was applauded by one of the earliest American patriotic slogans, "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute."
Upon his return from France, Marshall declined appointment to the Supreme Court to succeed James Wilson, but he was persuaded by Washington to run for Congress and was elected in 1799 as a Federalist. His service in the House of Representatives was brief, however. His chief accomplishment there was the effective defense of the president against a Republican attack for having honoured a British request under the extradition treaty for the surrender of a seaman charged with murder on a British warship on the high seas.
In May 1800 President Adams requested the resignation of his secretary of war and offered the post to Marshall, and again Marshall declined. Adams then dismissed his secretary of state and offered Marshall the vacant position. In an administration harassed by dissension and with uncertain prospects in the forthcoming election, the appeal of the invitation must have been addressed principally to Marshall's loyalty. After some initial hesitation, Marshall accepted. In the autumn of 1800, Chief Justice Oliver Ellsworth resigned because of ill health. Adams, defeated in the November election, tendered reappointment to John Jay, the first chief justice, but Jay declined. Adams then turned to Marshall, and in January 1801 Adams sent to the Senate the nomination of John Marshall to be chief justice. The last Federalist-controlled Senate confirmed the nomination on Jan. 27, 1801. On February 4, Marshall was sworn in, but at Adams's request Marshall continued to act as secretary of state for the last month of the Adams presidential administration. (Marshall also served briefly, at Jefferson's request, as secretary of state in Jefferson's administration.)
Chief justice of the United States
Under Marshall's leadership for more than 34 years—the longest tenure for any chief justice—the Supreme Court set forth the main structural lines of the government. Initially, there was no consensus as to whether the Constitution had created a federation or a nation, and although judicial decisions could not alone dispel differences of opinion, they could create a body of coherent, authoritative, and disinterested doctrine around which opinion could mass and become effective. To the task of creating such a core of agreement Marshall brought qualities that were admirably adapted for its accomplishment. His own mind had apparently a clear and well-organized concept of the effective government that he believed was needed and was provided by the Constitution. He wrote with a lucidity, a persuasiveness, and a vigour that gave to his judicial opinions a quality of reasoned inevitability that more than offset an occasional lack in precision of analysis. His tenure gave opportunity for the development of a unified body of constitutional doctrine. It was the first aspect of Marshall's accomplishment that he and the court he headed did not permit this opportunity to pass unrecognized.
Marshall distinguished himself from his colleagues by wearing a plain black robe, in stark contrast to the scarlet and ermine robes worn by the other justices. Prior to Marshall's appointment, it had been the custom of the Supreme Court, as it was in England, for each justice to deliver an opinion in each significant case. This method may be effective where a court is dealing with an organized and existing body of law, but with a new court and a largely unexplored body of law, it created an impression of tentativeness, if not of contradiction, which lent authority neither to the court nor to the law it expounded. With Marshall's appointment—and presumably at his instigation—this practice changed. Thereafter, for some years, it became the general rule that there was only a single opinion from the Supreme Court. Indeed, Marshall's term was marked by great consensus and stability on the court; Marshall only dissented formally once during his tenure, and between 1811 and 1823 the Supreme Court's personnel did not change—the longest such period in history. This change of practice alone would have contributed to making the court a more effective institution. And when the opinions were cast in the mold of Marshall's clear and compelling statement, the growth of the court's authority was assured.
Marbury v. Madison (1803) was the first of Marshall's great cases and the case that established for the court its power to invalidate federal laws and acts found to be in conflict with the Constitution. The foundation of the case and the significance of its ruling must be understood within the historical and strategic context of the time. Shortly before the expiration of President Adams's term, the Federalist-controlled Congress created and Adams filled a number of federal judicial positions. The commissions of the judges had been signed and the seal of the United States affixed in the office of the secretary of state (Marshall's office), but some of them, including that of William Marbury, remained undelivered. (Ironically, Marshall, as secretary of state, was responsible for delivering these appointments.) Offended by what he perceived to be a Federalist court-packing plan, President Jefferson ordered his secretary of state, James Madison, to halt delivery of the remaining commissions.
Marbury unsuccessfully petitioned the Department of State for his commission, and subsequently he instituted suit in the Supreme Court against Madison. Although the matter was not beyond question, the court found that Congress had, under the authority of Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789, authorized that such suits be started in the Supreme Court rather than in a lower court. The court faced a dilemma of historic proportions. If it issued a writ of mandamus ordering Madison to deliver the commission, it was clear that such a command would be ignored, thereby undermining the court's influence for generations, but if it failed to issue the writ the Supreme Court would be seen as cowering in the face of presidential power. Under Marshall's direction, the Supreme Court altered the issue at hand, and, speaking through Marshall, the court held that Article III of the Constitution did not permit this expansion of the court's original jurisdiction and that the court could not follow a statute that was in conflict with the Constitution. It thereby confirmed for itself its most controversial power—the function of judicial review, of finding and expounding the law of the Constitution.
Throughout Marshall's tenure as chief justice, the Supreme Court held only one term each year, lasting about seven or eight weeks (slightly longer after 1827). Each justice, however, also conducted a circuit court—Marshall in Richmond, Va., and Raleigh, N.C. Marshall's conflict with the Jefferson administration erupted once more in 1807 in Richmond, where Marshall presided at the treason trial of former Vice President Aaron Burr, successfully frustrating President Jefferson's efforts toward a runaway conviction; as a result, Burr was freed. With hardly more than three months annually engaged in judicial duties (at that time, the court's docket was much smaller than it is today), Marshall had much time to devote to personal endeavours. In 1807 he completed the five-volume The Life of George Washington. He also served (1812) as chair of a commission charged with finding a land and water route to link eastern and western Virginia, and in 1829 he was part of the Virginia state constitutional convention.
Once the power of judicial review had been established, Marshall and the court followed with decisions that assured that it would be exercised and that the whole body of federal law would be determined, in a unified judicial system with the Supreme Court at its head. Martin v. Hunter's Lessee (1816) and Cohens v. Virginia (1821) affirmed the Supreme Court's right to review and overrule a state court on a federal question, and in McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) the Supreme Court asserted the doctrine of "implied powers" granted Congress by the Constitution (in this instance, that Congress could create a bank of the United States, even though such a power was not expressly given by the Constitution).
McCulloch v. Maryland well illustrated that judicial review could have an affirmative aspect as well as a negative; it may accord an authoritative legitimacy to contested government action no less significant than its restraint of prohibited or unauthorized action. The ruling, which nearly precipitated a constitutional crisis, upheld the authority of the federal government and denied to the states the right to impose a tax on the federal government. Faced with the daunting task of explaining where the authority of the Congress to create a bank is located in the Constitution, Marshall turned to Article I, Section 8, Paragraph 18, which grants to the federal government the power to "make all laws which shall be necessary and proper" for carrying out the powers it was explicitly granted in the Constitution. The ruling infuriated states' rights advocates, leading several, including judges Spencer Roane and William Brockenbrough, to admonish Marshall and the court through the press. In an unprecedented move, Marshall replied under an assumed name, writing as "A Friend to the Constitution."
In commerce law Marshall led the court in deciding a number of cases brought in response to the emerging American economy and the government's attempts to regulate it. Fletcher v. Peck (1810) and the Dartmouth College case (1819) established the inviolability of a state's contracts, and Gibbons v. Ogden (1824) affirmed the federal government's right to regulate interstate commerce and to override state law in doing so. Many of Marshall's decisions dealing with specific restraints upon government have turned out to be his less-enduring ones, however, particularly in later eras of increasing governmental activity and control; indeed, it has been in this area that judicial review has evoked its most vigorous critics.
Outside the court, Marshall spent much of his time caring for an invalid wife. He also enjoyed companionship, drinking, and debating with friends in Richmond. In general, for the first 30 years of his service as chief justice, his life was largely one of contentment. In late 1831, at age 76, Marshall underwent the rigours of surgery for the removal of kidney stones and appeared to make a rapid and complete recovery. But the death of his wife on Christmas of that year was a blow from which his spirits did not so readily recover. In 1835 his health declined rapidly, and on July 6 he died in Philadelphia. He was buried alongside his wife in Shockoe Cemetery in Richmond.

(Ian Bremmer is a Reuters columnist but his opinions are his
By Ian Bremmer
NEW YORK, April 30 (Reuters) - In Bangladesh, the search for
survivors has become an effort to recover the dead. After a
garment factory building collapsed in the Dhaka suburb of Savar
last week, residents and rescue workers spent days digging
through the rubble hoping to save the lives of people caught in
yet another Bangladeshi industrial accident. At least 390 people
are thought to have died.
This type of accident is all too common in Bangladesh. In
November, more than 100 people died in a garment factory fire
when workers could not easily escape the building. In 2006, 84
people were killed in a blaze because fire exits were locked.
This is what happens when a $20 billion industry accounts
for 3.2 million jobs and 80 percent of a country's exports. It
needs the industry too much, especially when those jobs have
helped push female participation in the workplace from 26.1
percent in 2002-03 to a still-insufficient 36 percent in 2010.
The globalized economy demands that Bangladesh provide cheap
goods, and cheap goods are easier to manufacture when there
aren't strict rules to follow - or at least when they're not
It also helps when those rules are set by the same people
who own the factory buildings. A sector that is too big to fail
can repel government-induced regulation. Mohammed Sohel Rana,
who owned the building that collapsed, was escorted to court
yesterday in body armor and a helmet. But the factory wasn't his
only project - he was also a local leader of the ruling party's
youth wing. This is partly why it's so hard for developing
countries to bite the hand that feeds. It would require the
powerful to bite themselves.
A groundswell of protest might change things, and we're
seeing the beginnings of that. Bangladeshis have burned
factories to the ground to make clear that the garment industry
is not as invincible as it seems. Citizens want action, and with
an election coming later this year, they'll have the
government's attention.
Sensing this, Bangladeshi officials, after reportedly
refusing rescue help from Britain, have promised to take action
to prevent accidents like this from happening again. Rana built
his factory on swampland and then kept the building open after
long cracks were discovered in its pillars. In a country as
reliant on one industry as Bangladesh, regulations are just the
first step - success depends on consistent enforcement.
What does this mean for Western corporations? In a situation
like this, a company's imperative is to get ahead of government,
to make rather than simply accept new standards. But until
government acts, don't expect much from the private sector.
Bangladesh isn't the kind of country that will shame a
company into compliance by tarring its reputation - it's too
small, and media coverage of its labor practices pales in
comparison to China's. Until pressure is added from outside
Bangladesh, action inside the country won't force change in the
private sector.
We've seen mass protest against labor practices in the past,
most famously when sweatshops became a cause célèbre in the
1990s. It was mounting progress and pressure that changed work
conditions then, thanks to non-governmental organizationss,
celebrities and major American brands transforming consumer
behavior in the United States. But Bangladesh doesn't have its
own Kathie Lee. Aside from disasters like this, the country
rarely makes headlines in the West, despite a population bigger
than that of Germany and France combined.
When there's money to be lost, it's harder to build momentum
for change. This was a horrific disaster - and a preventable
one. Let's hope its human cost convinces Bangladesh's government
and its private sector that it can no longer afford not to act.
