1. Like
as the waves make
towards the pebbled shore,
The sonnet is a meditation on mortality. Almost as an afterthought the beloved is mentioned, in the final line, as one who might be preserved from the total oblivion of time's destruction. But despite its defiance, the closing couplet hardly rescues the reader from the thought that everything that is mortal must perish, for our minutes, and the minutes of our remembrance, move ever forward as irrevocably as the waves move forward, beating ceaselessly on the shore.
The sonnet seems to be placed deliberately at this point, as number 60, to coincide with the 60 minutes of the hour, just as No.12 marks the twelve hours of the day. There is even a pun included in line 2, (hour minutes) so that the reader need not lose his/her bearings in the sequence.
In ſequent toile all forwards do contend.
Natiuity once in the maine of light,
Crawles to maturity,wherewith being crown'd,
Crooked eclipſes gainſt his glory fight,
And time that gaue,doth now his gift confound.
Time doth tranſfixe the floriſh ſet on youth,
And delues the paralels in beauties brow,
Feedes on the rarities of natures truth,
And nothing ſtands but for his ſiethe to mow.
And yet to times in hope,my verſe ſhall ſtand
Praiſing thy worth,diſpight his cruell hand.
1. Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,
1. Like as In like manner to the way in which; make towards = proceed in the direction of (OED 35.b.) make as a verb of motion is not common, and perhaps derives form the word in combination, as below:
Make we our march towards Birnam. Mac.V.2.31.
It is still found in
modern usage, as e.g. 'You
make for the train while I make for the ticket office'.
2. So do our minutes hasten to their end;
|2. The imagery is of the disappearance and dissipation of each wave as it beats on the shore. The sea as such is not an obvious simile of human life, as it continues almost forever, whereas our life so patently has an ending. But the individual waves mimic the disappearance of the minutes. (See the comment on our minutes above in the Introductory note).
|3. Each changing place with that which goes before,
|3. Waves appear to change place with each other. As one rolls away, another takes its place.
4. In sequent toil all forwards do contend.
|4. In sequent toil = in consecutive laborious procession. toil suggests exhausting labour, and perhaps the harshness of life's journey. The word toil is often connected with the strife of battle, (OED.n(1).1 & 2), and the idea is perhaps of the waves marching forward to contend, or fight, as lines of troops do in a battle.
5. Nativity, once in the main of light,
5. Nativity = birth. Here a new born child is implied, and nativity is abstract for concrete. Compare the similar use by Falstaff:
I hope good luck lies in odd numbers. Away I go. They say there is divinity in odd numbers, either in nativity, chance, or death. Away! MW.V.1.4-5.
the main of light - the full glare of light. the main refers to the sea, and being in the main implies being in the open sea. In the main of light is therefore 'in the open sea of light', 'where the light is most bright and unhindered'.
|6. Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crown'd,
| 6. Crawls
- as a baby crawls. Also suggestive
of slowness, as the years of youth seem wonderfully long until they are
gone. And in addition of the slowness and crabbedness of age.
wherewith = with which i.e. maturity.
7. Crooked eclipses 'gainst his glory fight
| 7. Crooked
eclipses = malignant eclipses
of sun or moon. Any heavenly eclipse was considered to be a dangerous
Reversals of fortune could be attributed to their influence. eclipses
therefore has a general meaning of 'blight caused by
ill fortune', 'setbacks'
etc. An eclipse may also be described in terms of the struggle of
against the light, as here, where the darkness fights against the glory
of the sun, but figuratively against the glory of youth and maturity.
his glory - his refers to nativity, maturity, youth, perfection.
8. And Time that gave doth now his gift confound.
| 8. his
gift - Time's gift is presumably
life itself, but all the accessories of life could be included, wealth,
comfort, long age, posterity and so on.
confound = destroy, overturn, . See 5, 8, 63, 64. The basic meaning is from Latin confundere - to pour together, to mingle things together in disorder. (OED 6) The general idea is that the elements that make up an individual are subsequently mingled together in the common mass.
9. Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth
| 9. As SB
points out the meaning is fairly evident
but explaining it is another matter. flourish may
be taken as the
'heyday of perfection, the glory (of youth)', derived from the Latin
florere, to bloom, to blossom, to be in one's
prime. It is used in
related meanings, frequently, for example, as a stage direction - Flourish
of trumpets - meaning a fanfare of trumpets, or else simply
as the single
word Flourish. That is its most common use in
Shakespeare. Here it
suggests something like superlative appearance, supreme perfection, the
ornament of youthfulness. There are no comparable uses elsewhere in
Good Lord Boyet, my beauty, though but mean,
Needs not the painted flourish of your praise LLL.II.1.13-4.
Poor painted queen, vain flourish of my fortune! R3.I.3.241.
'flourish' does not appear to have the same signification. Onions gives 'ostentatious embellishment, gloss, varnish', but those meanings are somewhat too harsh and pejorative to fit with ease here.
transfix usually means to run through, to pierce, as with a lance or sword, hence, by extension, to destroy. Time is the enemy which cuts down and destroys all things that are beautiful and transfixes them in perpetual rigor mortis.
10. And delves the parallels in beauty's brow,
|10. delves the parallels = digs the furrows. parallels were defensive ditches often used in siege warfare. The imagery here, with the word delve, and mowing in line 12, seems more to refer to husbandry and the parallel lines drawn by the plough in the field., or by the spade, if ploughs were not used. These lines are compared to the wrinkles which line the forehead as 'beauty' grows older.
11. Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth,
11. the rarities of nature's truth - the image appears to be that of a beast or monster feeding on rare items. The presence of truth in the line and the difficulty of explaining the meaning of the phrase nature's truth may be partly due to the necessity of rhyme. truth always rhymes with youth in the Sonnets, whenever either word occurs at the end of the line. (6 times). Shakespeare does not use the phrase elsewhere, but I assume it is similar to the truth of honour in
....she, having the truth of honour in her, hath made him that gracious denial which he is most glad to receive. MM.III.1.162-4.
and it acts as an intensifier, as if it were 'pure, uncorrupted honour'. Thus nature's truth = nature itself, nature in its infinite expansion and perfection.
12. And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow:
| 12. stands
= exists, grows (as in the
phrase 'standing corn' for corn which has reached maturity).
his scythe = Time's scythe. The scythe was used for mowing hay. Time and Death were frequently portrayed carrying a scythe. (See the woodcut engraving above).
13. And yet to times in hope, my verse shall stand
|13. stand - see above. Also with the sense of 'stand up to', 'defy', since to times is to be taken with the verb. Thus 'my verse, as a beacon of hope, will stand against all consuming time, both now, and for all times in the future'.
14. Praising thy worth, despite his cruel hand.
| 14. thy
worth - although the poem in
a sense leads up to this, it is the only mention of the youth in the
the rarities of nature's truth and the
flourish set on youth
however may be taken as elliptical references to the beloved.
his cruel hand - Time's cruel hand.

As one gets older, one begins to think introspectively to gain a proper perspective of their life. Our experiences, our achievements, our impact on others; all these things serve to remind us that we all have a purpose. Realizing that where we've been doesn't have to dictate where we're going is important, but it is equally important to be grateful for the environment you came from and the circumstances you came from. For Fabian "Candyman" Villarreal, growing up in the rough neighborhood of Oak Cliff in 1980s Dallas was a daily challenge. "To keep me off the streets, my parents kept me busy," remembers Fabian. "My mother, Irma, saw my artistic potential and urged me to express my talent through artwork; which led me to winning numerous art competitions while in school." As for his father, Reynaldo, he took a different approach, with the young boy. That approach falling under the "if you want to go play with your friends, first you have to sand that car" school of thought. At age 12, the young apprentice began to work at his father's body shop on West Davis St. "I was a body man, long before I was a painter," recalls Villarreal. Although the trade helped to put Fabian through school, more significantly, his father's work ethic taught him that making a living meant to give the best possible presentation by finishing the job to the best of his ability – a philosophy that continues today for Candyman. Most of our LRM readers and features can attest that our parents tried their best to keep us off the streets, and like the majority of us, Fabian discovered the same culture we did; the Lowrider scene. This future club leader soon joined Los Bajitos de Grand Prairie. This car club, led by Beto Salazar, was among the Lone Star State's elite clubs in the 1980s. "Beto is a Lowrider legend, who taught me the ins-and-outs of running a club and promoting car shows; lessons that I continue to use nearly thirty years later," explains Fabian.
While he kept abreast of the latest happenings on the Boulevard, Fabian also kept his nose in the books and after receiving his degree, Fabian said goodbye to the body shop and started a new career. With a high paying job and a good lifestyle in D-town, there was no stopping this up and comer; or so he thought. After a few altercations with "Dallas' Finest" that resulted in a life changing experience, Fabian quickly reevaluated his road to success. By this time, his parents had moved to Corpus Christi, and soon Fabian would be knocking on their door. He quickly realized that what kept him out of trouble in years past was the outlet of refinishing cars. "I worked as a painter at a local dealership for 10 years during the day, and at night, I learned how to spray candy paints," says the Candyman. Tommy Hail, a local custom painter, mentored this future customizer in custom painting, and the teachings served the impressionable painter well as Fabian ran with the knowledge and hasn't stopped since! In 1996, Kandy Kustoms opened as an insurance-based body shop, but in recent years, it has reached nearly a 90% customizing clientele. Even with the shop's good reputation, Fabian's confidence in his work was shaky, a stance that would soon would change. In 1998, this Gulf Coast painter had the opportunity to revamp Chito Sanchez' 1964 Impala for the LRM Lowrider of the Year title. That year, at the Las Vegas Super show, "Chito's '64" took home a respectable 2nd Place in the Best of Show Category. "At that point, I finally felt that I had what it takes to compete with the best," says a humble Fabian. Since then, the LRM Super Shows have displayed a variety of Candyman's work, including top finishers "Outkast," "One Bad Maxx," "Aztlan," two-time Bike of the Year, "Prophecy," and two-time Truck of the Year, "Prophecy." Along with over 30 cars featured in the pages of LRM in the past 15 years, this Texas painter continues to push his imagination and talents to the next level and the next metal canvas. With his great admiration for Mario Gomez, Sal Manzano, and Danny D., Candyman hopes to one day have his work admired in the same conversation as these greats, or used as the inspiration within other painters' concepts.
Along with endless hours in the shop creating intricate paint schemes, Fabian also makes sure to balance time for his family, God, and his car club. As a member for over 17 years, he has witnessed Rollerz Only grow from 10 chapters when he joined, to over 50 chapters worldwide, evolving into one of the best club's in Lowrider history. In recent years, the club leadership, to include Fabian, has focused on its perspective of God, Family, and Rollerz Only. Along with the support of his children, his wife Marlene, and his strong Christian beliefs, Fabian knows that his calling continues not just in the church pews, but also within the Lowrider world that helped shape him into the strong man he is today. Paz, Tejas.

Islam, Insurgency, and Port Cities in Southeast Asia
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Asian History. Please check back later for the full article.
Port cities have long played a critical role as nodes in nascent processes of globalization and in the circulation of peoples, commodities, and ideas within and across the maritime spaces of Southeast Asia. Although port cities had been an indelible component of the islands and archipelagos of this region since at least the 15th century, the rise of global empire in the 19th century rejuvenated these communities by the sea, giving rise to thriving metropolises from Rangoon to Singapore, Bangkok to Penang. These ascendant cities served as "imperial bridgeheads" connecting the products and peoples of the Southeast Asian hinterlands to world markets. Yet, the idea of "cosmopolitanism" arguably pervades our understanding of these port cities; bustling docks, diverse populations, and lively scenes of popular culture take precedence over the imperial coercion unfolding within and beyond its shores.
Port cities and urbanization were also intimately intertwined with the violence of conquest and Islamic insurgency wracking the countryside beyond their borders. When armed conflicts such as the bitter Dutch-Aceh War in the Netherlands East Indies (Indonesia) and the Moro Wars in the southern Philippines engulfed venerable Muslim sultanates, maritime metropolises emerged as critical nodes, sites for the dissemination of weapons and smugglers, spies and diplomats, contentious ideas and theologies. These circulations were facilitated not just by Muslim networks or colonial agents, but by the very cosmopolitan nature of port cities. Chinese, Arab, and German, Buddhist, Muslim, and Christian, all became drawn into the whirling vortex of "Islamic insurgencies." By highlighting the integral position of port cities in the conduct of various armed conflicts, it will become possible to gain new perspectives and suggest reconfigured research paradigms for understanding the connected histories of colonial conquest.

If you're just starting out as a new investor, you might not be rolling in dough. Fair enough. In that case, you'll want to focus on the account option that best serves your needs -- an account that has a minimum of $2,000 or less for initial deposits. Some discount brokers have no account minimums for getting started.
Don't have two grand in spare change hiding between the cushions of your couch? No problem. You can get started investing with as little as the price of one share of stock. One of the best ways to invest small amounts of money cheaply is through Dividend Reinvestment Plans, also known as Drips. They and their cousins, Direct Stock Purchase Plans (DSPs), allow you to bypass brokers (and their commissions) by buying stock directly from the companies or their agents.
We've got more details on Drip accounts in our "What if I can only invest small amounts of money every month?" Q&A.

I figured, it's time to get help as I have been struggling to play certain deliveries. Little background on me as it may or may not be relevant. I used to bat # 6 or 7. My main task was to hit the ball. But, I was never really satisfied as a hitter. I always wanted to play strokes with straight bat. So around 4 or 5 years ago I set out to learn how to play with straight bat.
Now, I would say I am very strong playing shots on front foot when the ball's line is on the offside. But my weak spots have always been balls delivered on middle stump and leg stump.
Today on net practice I was constantly beaten by someone throwing balls on middle and mostly leg stumps. More importantly these were good length deliveries. By the time the ball reached me it was right around my upper chest height. I was blocking them but eventually my fear overtook my blocking.
So my question on, how would you recommend playing these type of deliveries.
Couple of other important notes:
-I usually go as an opener.
-The pitches are cement based (concrete) with some type of green mats on them.

"Intelligence agencies keep things secret because they often violate the rule of law or of good behavior." Julian Assange
The Carrier IQ scandal is a gift that just keeps giving: a US FOI report suggests that the FBI is using data captured by the creepy smartphone snooping app. The discovery was made by FOI blog MuckRock, which asked for "manuals, documents or other written guidance used to access or analyze data gathered by programs developed or …
Jullian Assange keeps things secret, just because he wasts to, ok.
I mean he could have hosted the whole of the "Collateral Murder" video on his site, but he just didn't think that everyone wanted to see all those bothersome pesky bits that put it into a context that he didn't want people to see...
The El Reg blurb states the following:
"The Carrier IQ scandal is a gift that just keeps giving: a US FOI report suggests that the FBI is using data captured by the creepy smartphone snooping app. The discovery was made by FOI blog MuckRock, which asked for "manuals, documents or other written guidance used to access or analyze data gathered by programs developed or …"
Yet in the article the following nuget can be found...
"MuckRock's conclusion is that it's likely that the FBI is using data gathered by Carrier IQ in an investigation – unless, of course, it's Carrier IQ that's under investigation."
Occam's Razor would suggest that its the latter. That Carrier IQ is under investigation.
I rate this article as a failure because the blurb seems to create a sense of hype that may not really be present. Now watch all of the tin foil hatters jump in and blame the FBI for spying on us.
Just because there's little information available doesn't bring Occam's Razor into the picture. There's simply not enough information available, i.e. there are a large number of potential investigations that cannot be ruled out as plausible explanations. Invoking Occam's Razor is speculative, not de facto.
I'm inclined to agree with the Cap'n that there is too little information for Occam's Razor to be useful. For my part (and I'm not a tin-foil hatter), I think it it more likely that an Investigative bureau would be using a spying tool than investigating it.
Whatever the truth, it isn't good for Carrier IQ : either they are being investigated or their tool is being used by a government organisation to spy on users. Not very good press for them.
I continue to find your trust in the authorities to be touching, if misguided. I would genuinely love to have any evidence to challenge my opinion that those with jurisdictional power are abusing it, but if it exists, I've yet to see it.
Whilst there is insufficient evidence to suggest what the actual meaning of the FBI's statement is, based on past performance I'd go with the rebuttable presumption that they mean "We are using it for our own purposes".
Its not that I have blind faith in my government.
It's the simple fact that a certain US Senator has openly raised questions and concerns.
Also if you knew anything about LE Supoenas, you would understand how easily they can acquire the same information through legal means.
There are other facts that support the conclusion that the Feds are most likely investigating them. But again you have to understand the recent US history and post 9-11 laws and powers given to the western governments. Again why participate in an illegal activity when with 5 min of paper work,
You can do the same thing legally.
Sorry to disappoint you, so flame away.
doesn't necessarily mean they aren't using it to monitor traffic. Get the appropriate authorization, kick up the reporting for the tool, and the traffic stream gets reported to the feds. I think the bit which tends to lean against them investigating the company is that if they were, the easiest way would be to submit the allegations, which provide a reasonable basis given the video, then seize the evidence and sort it all out after its been secured.
This particular use of Occam's Razor is somewhat misplaced, the principle of Occam's Razor is that "simpler explanations, all other things being equal, are generally better than more complex explanations".
If you agree in principal with the idea of Occam's Razor then you should also be open to some form of logical reasoning and the evaluation of previous track record to determine which theory is more likely, so while the simplest explanation is that Carrier IQ is under investigation, a more pragmatic analysis of what is happening would seem to imply that the FBI are using the data either for a genuine criminal investigation or for some nefarious purpose.
Given the amount of paranoia and the inward looking mentality of a significant portion of merkin-land, and the constant stream of goebbels like propaganda about the so-called War on Terror, aka 'amerika under attack' being used as an excuse to erode civil liberties, such as the Bush's authorising of NSA warrantless wiretapping, abuse of the patriot act, the National Security Entry/Exit Registration System (NSEERS), the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (AEDPA), the Real ID Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the no-fly list, and hand control to vested interests, my money is on the last option.
Anyway, I'll leave the last words to obama:-
Bob "Snake" Plissken icon please elReg
That this is all just a storm in a teacup?
While CarrierIQ's software does seem to 'see' keypresses and content, it doesn't necessarily follow that it logs them, much less transmits them 'home'.
I have nothing to do with the handset biz, but nothing I've read so far (discounting media hysteria) would constitute 'proof' of actual snooping.
The only thing we can definitely blame CarrierIQ for is sloppy software: if their software does what it says on the tin, then it should have been written to avoid any appearance of privacy invasion.
Current intent might not match future intent. Just because it isn't proven to be currently snooping, it certain has the ability.
The techies might have written the code to help debugging.
The Marketers might say "this is great, we can use it for targeted marketing. S it wasn't the intended purpose, but we wrote in the ability to capture information so we might as well profit from selling it"
Or more sinister. The "authorities" grab ALL the captured data - "its for a paedophile investigation". Next thing you know Joe Bloggs is under investigation for Income Tax avoidance since the data grabbed happened to show his tax return didn't include the savings account he managed from his mobile.
Cynical? Yes. Has history taught us nothing?
but neither is is a minor thing either. The interface provides the ability to do keystroke logging, and from the user standpoint, it can't be removed. The phone itself provides the transmission interface. Regardless of whether or not any government agency is or is not using it legally or otherwise, someone could write a malicious app to steal the data. Since some (many?) people now use cell phones for accessing bank accounts, that gives the bad guy the info to empty your accounts. That's the bit I'm concerned about. I'm not important enough to be investigated by the FBI or the NSA. I'm not even important enough to be targeted by the bad guys, but they aren't above hitting me as a target of opportunity.
Mobile operators are required by law to filter access to "adult"[1] websites unless the account holder proves they are over 18 years old and request the filtering to be removed. Vodafone & 3 presumably use Bluecoat to help them comply with this law.
[1] If O2 is anything to go by, adult sites seem to include websites in the personal beauty sector and clothes retailers which I really can't understand why children shouldn't be allowed to see them.
The only reason why they are required to do so is because they got together and decided to do so. 'Because we say so' is certainly not enough to ignore people's rights under RIPA, DPA and CMA. The government's threat to change the law isn't very convincing either - 'Break the law or we'll force you to do it anyway'...
In addition Orange seem to manage to fitler without involving Bluecoat or other 3rd parties, so Bluecoat's involvement would not appear to be necessary even if you accept that filtering is necessary.
I don't accept this by the way. If you really care about children then DON'T SELL THEM THE HANDSETS TO START WITH - limit sales of handsets and SIMs to adults and get them to choose to put filtering on the connection or not during the sale.
Sooner or later children will either find ways around the filter and manage to access this stuff of those serving porn will find ways around the limits, as TalkTalk recently found out.
There's no law - just an industry wide agreement. From o2's blog:
Q: What do the other UK mobile operators do in this area?
A: All the other UK operators also run content filtering and age verification on their mobile networks, based on the IMCB guidelines. As mentioned above, it's an industry regulation that's been agreed by all the main UK networks.
Not that I mind if the FBI or anyone else monitors my smart phone use, knock yourselves out guys.
It does however occur to me that if this is all done by an app on my phone, then it mus be using my data bandwidth, so am I actually paying for them to snoop?
I believe that would break a few laws, as in effect they are stealing from me. Do these apps actually use my bandwidth, or do the providers shoulder the costs?
Just wondered.
Knowing the schizophrenia of the US government in general and the FBI in particular, I would say they are playing both sides. The investigative arm has an ongoing (if fairly recent) investigation of Carrier IQ and the techie/support/observation peeps are perusing the logs captured by Carrier IQ in other venues.
Let's not count out the rest of the DHS and their alphabet soup of agencies. I would bet good money that the FBI is not the only agency using AND investigating Carrier IQ.
Good thing someone bought me some tinfoil and someone else posted instructions for its use...
Don't you remember that they "provided enough technical detail to convince The Register the diagnostics software doesn't represent a privacy threat to handset owners"?
A gift that keeps on giving, because it's a story you keep on sensationalising. Where are you today then? Is it bad or benign?
Seriously? Some Dude* (I forget exactly who) in Washington made a public query to Carrier IQ asking "Do you breach the Wire Tap Laws?"
I assume** that a competitent and non-compromised FBI would pick up that not so subtle hint and promptly open an inventigation into exactly if Carrier IQ does breach said Law. After all, this is exactly what the FBI is paid to do.
* As well as any number of media and blogging outlets***
** Yes I know, never trust what it says on the tin. For either Carrier IQ or the FBI.
*** Cause Bloggers are not part of the media.

[In this reprinted blog entry originally featured at Game Career Guide sister site Gamasutra, Jeff Parrott gives a few quick tips for artists entering the games industry.]
I recently read a great post by Andrew Greenberg on his blog (http://gametheoryonline.com/2010/10/28/video-game-students-college-degre) by way of Chad Moore. The cliff notes version of it is you need to not only go through the motions of school and creating art, but you need to excel at that and go above and beyond. Andrew's posting is great but it really pertains to designers and programmers mainly. For artists there are a few changes to the bullet list of things to do to.
Going above and beyond is not as hard as it sounds. It just takes dedication, drive, and determination to contribute to a field that you hope to have a long and happy career in.

Business Environment Reforms: Distinguishing Tokenism from the Real Thing
To promote the registration of new firms, many countries have been undertaking reforms to reduce the costs, days or procedures required to register a business. For example, the World Bank Doing Business report each year identifies the 10 most improved countries on the overall Doing Business index (comprised of 9 subindicators). One of these subindicators measures reforms related to starting a business, with 30-65 countries reforming in this area each year. A still unanswered question is whether some reforms are more important than others. A priori, it is not clear what magnitude of reduction in costs (or days or procedures) is necessary to create a significant impact on firm registration. In other words, what exactly constitutes a reform? Is a 20% reduction in the costs of registration sufficient, or is a 50% reduction necessary to get a substantial number of firms to register?
In a recent paper Leora Klapper and I empirically investigate the magnitude of reform required for a significant impact on the number of new registrations. We use a new dataset that is uniquely suited for this purpose: the World Bank Group Entrepreneurship Snapshots (WBGES), a cross-country, time-series panel dataset on the number of newly registered companies. We supplement it with data from Doing Business reports that contain the cost, time and procedures required for registration of new companies. Importantly, both datasets focus on limited liability companies. In an earlier paper, we used the same dataset to investigate the impact of the global financial crisis on new firm registrations.

Farewell World Bank. You're on the Right track. And you have a Big Job Ahead!
Andrew Steer in Indonesia
Today is my final day at the World Bank.
When I first entered the doors of 1818 H Street three decades and seven Presidents ago, the big buzz in the cafeteria was Cost Benefit Analysis and Basic Needs. President McNamara had demanded that every project document identify in detail how many of the poorest 25% it would directly and indirectly benefit, and how. The secret to rapid career progress was expertise in shadow pricing (which was appropriate in light of the massive distortions in goods, labor, currency and capital markets in most of our client countries).
But those shadow prices certainly didn't include the value of environmental externalities. The entire cadre of environmental specialists for the whole institution consisted of one person. (It wasn't me.)
Last week at the Rio+20 Conference I met up with an old friend, Emil Salim, who for many years was the longest serving Environment Minister in the World, and is still, well into his eighties, chief environmental advisor to President Yudhoyono of Indonesia. We reminisced about a meeting he and I were at in 1982, when he asked the President of the World Bank for help in dealing with the acute environmental problems associated with Indonesia's rapid growth. The polite reply he received was "The World Bank is a development agency, not an environment organization. We don't do this kind of work."

Highlights of Ole Miss head coach Andy Kennedy's time on the SEC teleconference Monday, as well as selected questions and answers from Alabama head coach Anthony Grant and Texas A&M head coach Billy Kennedy. The Rebels host Alabama on Wednesday (7 p.m., ESPN3) and then travel to Texas A&M on Saturday (6 p.m., Fox Sports Net).
Ole Miss head coach Andy Kennedy
Opening statement:
There are two weeks remaining in the regular season. There is a logjam at 7-7 with a number of different teams. It's an important week for us, as we have one at home and one on the road. We need to try to find a way to stop the bleeding.
On seeing a seven-way tie for anything, anywhere:
I have never seen it. Last year, we were in a situation where we able to win our last two regular season games to tie for second and we got the 3-seed and a double bye in the tournament. It all really was dependent on three or four different teams and playing that last day. Florida has separated itself at the top, but everything else is still up for grabs as it relates to how teams play down the stretch.
On the importance of the double bye:
We were a beneficiary of that last year. We got the double bye and we were able go and cut down the nets. It's really big if you have aspirations. We go into the tournament needing probably to get to the finals to give ourselves a chance for an at-large. Thankfully, we took it one step further. It plays a huge part of day three, when it was our second game, and it was Vanderbilt's third game. We were playing them in the semifinals. It certainly took a toll on Vandy's legs, and it was an advantage to us. Getting the double bye is a huge advantage. A team that's in that position will be going to be going to Atlanta with aspirations of getting into the field. These last two weeks hold a lot of importance.
On the difficulty of taking each game as it presents itself and not look back:
It's easy to look back and live in the world of would have, could have, should have. You can see the finish line. You have two weeks left in the regular season leading to Atlanta. We know we have five more games. How we play in those five games will determine what happens next. My hope is that we're just anxious to play again because it's been two weeks since we have won a game. It's not a good feeling. I want our guys to share that sentiment and look forward to having the next opportunity.
On Trevor Releford:
He's a first team all-league player. They have their ups and downs, as we have all had. If a few games had gone the other way in Alabama's favor, he would be in the conversation for most valuable player in the league simply because of what he means to their team. He's had a terrific career. He's been very steady and very consistent, and he's really improved, which is a credit to Anthony (Grant) and his staff. He was a guy who's always been very good with the ball, fast in the open floor, but his ability to develop perimeter shooting and his ability to make perimeter shots has really made him a difficult cover.
Alabama head coach Anthony Grant
Opening statement:
We have the second game we have played this year against Ole Miss, this one on the road. They were a very talented team the first time we played them. We're looking forward to the opportunity to try to go to Ole Miss and get a win. And then we come back and play a rivalry game with Auburn here at home. We had a tough loss at their place earlier in the year. It's a big week for us, and I'm looking forward to getting prepare for these two games.
On Levi Randolph:
It was a good win for us against Missouri. Levi was a big part of that. I'm really happy for him that he was able to come out and have that type of performance. I'm happy for our team to be able to get the win. At the end of the day, the most important thing for Levi is for the team to win, and for him to be a big part of that is a very positive thing for him as we move forward in the season.
On Nick Jacobs' status and how Jimmie Taylor has stepped up with the extra minutes:
There is no update with Nick's status. Jimmie, the two games this past week, played 35 minutes at A&M and played 25-26 the other night against Missouri. He's a guy who's developing as a freshman with the experience that he is getting going against some of the elite guy in our league, in terms of frontcourt guys. He's done a really job for us on the defensive end, learning how to rebound the ball in traffic against the size and physicality in the SEC. He's still developing and still continues to need to develop from an offensive standpoint. The more experience he gets, the more comfortable he gets in terms of what he's able to do and understand where he needs to grow. As an 18-year-old freshman in this league he has a very bright future.
On the "character" victory over Missouri:
It's been a rough year for us, in terms of some of the tough losses that we have had, in nonconference and conference play. Our guys have had to battle. Some games we have performed well and come up short, one or two possessions. Other games we have not performed well and not been as close. A lot of times when you see teams going through some of the struggles that we go through, you begin to worry in terms of how they feel in terms of the work that they're putting in and the results they're getting. I called it a character win because our guys have approached practice the right way, in terms of preparing for every game and approach their preparation and putting themselves in position to win. It was a tough loss on the road at Texas A&M on Thursday night. Weather caused us to spend the night in Texas. We came back about 3 o'clock. On the way from the airport to campus, the bus broke down, and the guys had to wait to get another bus to bring them to campus. We had an evening practice in preparation for Missouri the next day. They did a great job of being able to lock in. Coming off a loss like that and to respond the way they did in less than 24 hours, it showed great character by our guys.
On the Missouri win starting a wave of momentum?
Each game has a life of its own. I have been doing this long enough where you understand as a coach that every game presents different challenges. That one game, certainly, was a great character win. Now, we have to be able to learn the lessons from that, good and bad, and move forward and understand that we're going to get a completely different look when we go on the road here for Ole Miss.
On the seven-way tie for fourth place in the SEC standings and importance of upcoming games:
That's definitely a lot of times team tied. I'm sure there's not another league in the country with that situation. In general, there is parity in college basketball. You have some heavyweight teams in each league. You look at the ACC, you look at the Big Ten, you look at the Pac-12, you look at the Big 12, and we follow the Big 12, having been in it, and you have teams with losing record that were once top-10 teams. It's college basketball. It's just not our league. Our league gets beat up, but it's not any different from any other league. A lot needs to be said about college basketball in general that there are about four to six heavyweight teams, and then it's the rest of us. It's kind of what college basketball is all over the map.
On the importance of the double bye:
It would be tremendous for all these teams that are 7-7 because there's not a big difference, and most of us have depth problems. We're not very deep. We have most of our teams back. It would be interesting to see how many seniors are on those 7-7 teams and how many teams will have guys back. To have some momentum going into the end of the season and hopefully some type of postseason play, and to have all those guys coming back for next year is something to build on.

[Re-post] BBC hate-mongering towards men YET AGAIN in its wholesale most serious misrepresentation of domestic violence
[Re-post due to imposter ad postings despite password changes]
As ever on the notoriously non- and indeed anti-scientific BBC, the reality of intimate-partner violence -- domestic violence -- was nowhere to be seen in the entire hour of the BBC2 documentary last night, Love You To Death.
The feminist mantra of seven women are killed every month is never balanced by mention that almost as many men are killed by their female partners each month. Never either is it pointed out that this near parity is despite most modes of killing being far harder for a woman to carry out than for a man; nor that men are generally far more violent, and through being far more likely to abuse alcohol may be violent by displacement rather than by intent.
The evidence now is overwhelming that it's not merely that women also perpetrate domestic violence but that in fact they perpetrate substantially more than do men; and especially so when it is unilateral and/or of a serious level. [See my several major published review papers on intimate-partner violence in The Journal of Aggression, Conflict & Peace Research and New Male Studies; all available in full text at my own website, stevemoxon.co.uk.]
As everyone accurately intuits, experiments clearly show that men tend to 'hold back' from physically aggressing in any situation where a female would be the target. In total contrast, females -- women and girls -- actively prefer the use of physical violence as their mode of aggression specifically in a couple context. This is true both against men in the heterosexual relationships of females and against women in their homosexual relationships; indeed, the lesbian couple is by far the most violent type of relationship.
This true picture, as opposed to the one near universally mis-portrayed in the ideologically-hobbled media, is apparent in the DV-related injury statistics -- and even in the spousal homicide figures. If it were assumed that DV/IPV perpetration was of a similar extent by men and women, then considering female anatomical relative fragility and vastly greater male punching power, then it would be expected that 95% of all injuries (whether considering all, including minor, or only the serious) would be sustained by women. Yet instead of this 20:1 ratio, it's actually at most 3:2, and in some studies parity or actually reversed – this notably re serious injury. Regarding partner homicide, males make up close to half of all victims. These astonishing data sets can be explained only by a very large preponderance of female DV/PV perpetration, with males being far and away the larger victim group.
There are many more lines of evidence converging on this conclusion -- see my review papers. Not least, the overall firm conclusion that pair-bonding evolved in the female interest provides the very strong motivation for women, compared to men, to seek to 'control' their partners and if necessary to resort to violence to this end.
What is particularly clear is that every tenet by feminists on this topic is either false or, more usually, not merely false but upside-down.
What, in their most malicious and idiotic imagination, is the BBC doing in commissioning, making and transmitting a programme about domestic violence which contains solely stories about female victims and male perpetrators?! It is nothing less than the most virulent anti-male sex-hatred, driven by totalitarian 'identity politics'; the great backlash against the masses by the political-Left. [See my paper on the origin of 'identity politics' and 'PC'.].
Yet this is business as usual at the BBC, and notwithstanding many many formal detailed complaints. The BBC complaints procedure is moribund, the extremist politics intransigent. There is no hope of reform.
Nothing could better show the BBC to be entirely incapable of abiding by its own charter and its own guidelines for producers. It should not be allowed to continue to receive public funding.

I learned about British foods by name in the books of the wonderful British authors who I read growing up. Scrambled eggs and sardines in P.G. Wodehouse, hot buttered scones and ginger beer in Enid Blyton, salmon and asparagus in Somerset Maugham… I had almost no idea what they would taste like, but they sounded strange, exotic and attractive at the time. Still my first introduction to British food on British soil was anti-climactic, if anything.
I had just spent the whole night and half the day at the airport and in a plane. I had butterflies the size of eagles in my stomach: it was my first trip abroad and I was joining a group of 12 journalists from around the world on an eight-week fellowship to learn all we could about journalism in Britain. I was already more than a day late because of passport-authorizing delays in India and although I'd been up nearly 24 hours I had no time to stop or grab a bite before I had to rush off to join the others who were already touring the BBC and were about to leave for the office of the legendary London Times.
My first meal was a dinner buffet laid out for us by the Times as we chatted with the top editors there (Rupert Murdoch — who owns the Times– wandered in at one point, realized he was in the wrong place, and excused himself immediately. But at the time it was a huge thrill for all of us to see one of the news business's biggest moguls in the flesh).
I picked up a piece of tuna fish and some salad and immediately regretted it. Perhaps it was the fatigue, or my spice-ravaged tastebuds were just not used to it, but the fish tasted terribly bland and the salad was– well, I've said it many times before, I am not a fan of raw salads.
Over the next few weeks, though, I had enough time and opportunity to try out all kinds of British food and I am happy to say that I never again ate anything I absolutely didn't love. Of course, we always ate at restaurants, but the restaurants were certainly doing a great job of making the local food nothing short of delicious even to tastebuds as diverse as those in our group– we had fellows from South Africa, Malawi, Nigeria, Uganda, Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka, among others.
But the food I ate was either meat-based or dairy-based (this was in my pre-vegan days), so when I got ready to announce It's A Vegan World: British last month, I confess I was just a wee bit worried– how easy would it be to strip meat, fish, eggs and dairy from British food and still make it spectacular? I decided to go ahead because I reminded myself of all you adventurous cooks out there. You didn't let me down and thanks to you, we have a great feast here that would convert any skeptic.
So here, without further delay, are your wonderful creations (in alphabetical order, by your names). Thanks to each one of you for participating– what can I say, you're amazing!

Today is a very special day for one of our oldest Platypus at Healesville Sanctuary - Fleay turns 20 year old!
Fleay came into the collection as a baby in 1993 and has been the feature display in World of Platypus for the past 20 years.
It is thought that Platypus in the wild live to about 15 years but in captivity they can live into their early 20s.
She loves to sleep in and often growls at her keepers when they wake her up for a swim. Fleay's favourite activity is playing in the waterfall which she can easily climb the vertical wall to the top and belly flop into the pond. She also loves stripping the bark off branches in her tank and her favourite food is dragonfly larvae.
Healesville Sanctuary is one of only two institutions to have recorded breeding success with Platypus. In 1943, the Sanctuary hatched the first Platypus ever bred in captivity (an event that made front page news in London and New York). Since 1943 Healesville Sanctuary has bred a total of 12 Platypus.
Despite being our 'old lady', she is still in perfect health. Happy birthday Fleay!

Grow delicious, nutritious fruit and vegetables in your own backyard! In this course, you'll learn how to give your garden a healthy start and keep it growing strong all season.
You'll begin by figuring out which type of garden is right for you. Not everyone has the same amount of time, space, or sunshine, so the first step to a great harvest is selecting the right crops. You'll explore climate considerations, learn how to read a zone hardiness map, and find out how to spot a micro-climate in your yard.
After that, you'll discover how to properly prepare a garden bed so your crops have the best opportunity to thrive. Since healthy soil is the key to a great garden, you'll see how to identify problems in pH and drainage and fix them. You'll even learn to understand fertilizers and make compost!
Along the way, you'll delve into the variety of crops you can select: leafy greens, root vegetables, fruit, herbs, and more. Each type of crop has specific needs, so you'll get tips on starting seeds, transplanting, pruning, and using container gardens and support structures. In addition, you'll learn what to watch out for so you can spot pests and diseases before they destroy your bounty. And you'll take the guesswork out of watering your garden as you explore a variety of irrigation options.
Whether you want to provide your family with nutritious food, save money, get some exercise, or just be more self-sufficient, this course will give you the skills and knowledge you need to be on your way to a successful harvest.

Chelsea's Juan Mata, Arsenal's Santi Cazorla, as well as Swansea star Michu have all teamed up to buy shares in ailing Spanish club Real Oviedo.
The Segunda B outfit have begun selling shares in an attempt to raise the €2 million they require to keep them afloat after hitting financial hardship. Fans can buy a single share for around €10 before the November 17 closing date.
Cazorla and Mata both cut their teeth with the Spanish club before eventually moving on to Arsenal and Chelsea respectively, while Michu found his way to Swansea having played more than 100 games for the club.
All three Spaniards have established themselves as key figures at their clubs, with Cazaorla proving an instant hit with the Gunners, while Mata was recently announced as the Premier League player for October thanks to his fine performances for Chelsea.
Cazorla featured in Arsenal's 2-2 draw with Schalke last night, while Mata will line up for Chelsea when they take on Shakhtar Donetsk at Stamford Bridge tonight.
Michu meanwhile is the 4th highest scorer in the division having scored six times for his new club. The Swansea attacker confirmed today that all three players had bought a shares in Ovideo, and said he was hopeful that the target could be reach and that the club could be saved.
"Myself, Mata and Cazorla have all bought shares, but it would be wrong of me to say how much," he told Swansecity.net
"We just wanted to try and help save the club we all played for.
'The economy in Spain is very bad and the club needs around €2m to survive. A lot of people have bought shares and hopefully it will be enough by the closing date of November 17. It's my local club, a club I love, so I hope it will be enough."
Michu also said he felt there was an affinity between Oviedo and Swansea after the Welsh club was bailed out by supporters 10 years ago.
"It's my local club, a club I love, so I hope it will be enough," he commented.
"Swansea fans should know how much it means to me and the Oviedo supporters.
"I remember reading up on the history of Swansea when I first arrived here; I remember reading how the Swansea supporters bought shares in this club when it was in trouble 10 years ago - and again many years before that.
"And look at the club now; in the Premier League and winning at places like Anfield. Hopefully this SOS can have a similar reaction.''
It has also been reported that Real Madrid legend Raul has purchased shares in the Asturias side, although that has yet to be confirmed.

Senior Kara Vande Guchte of Hamilton (Hamilton HS) finished 10th among 22 heptathletes. Her point total in the seven-event competition was 4,557. The national champion was Janey Helland of Gustavus-Adolphus with 5,061 points. Vande Gutche was competing at nationals for as third straight year. In 2010 she placed third and in 2009 was 20th. She entered this year's competition seeded 12th
100 Meter Hurdles: 13th place, :15.39 (791 pts.)
High Jump: tied for 7th place, 5-1 3/4 (701 pts.)
Shotput: 19th place, 30-0 3/4 (475 pts.)

Senior Nick Rinck of Hudsonville (Hudsonville HS) and sophomore Sarah Venlet of Zeeland (Holland Christian HS) were unable to advance to the finals in the 400-meter hurdles. Competing at nationals for the first time and Hope's record holder in the event (:52.54), Rinck was seeded fifth among the 19 qualifiers. He entered the meet nursing a hamstring injury and about three-quarters into the race came up lame and was unable to finish, according to coach Kevin Cole. Venlet tied her alltime Hope record (1:02.66) by placing 14th. Competing at nationals for the second straight year, she was seeded 22nd among the 23 qualifiers.

What We Believe
Ethical Culture is a religion centered on ethics, not theology, whose mission is to encourage respect for humanity and nature and to create a better world. Members are committed to personal ethical development in their relationships with others and in activities involving social justice and environmental stewardship.
We believe all individuals have inherent worth and dignity, the potential to grow and change, a responsibility to strive for ethical growth, and a responsibility to create a better world.
As an Ethical Community we are all part of something that transcends the individual experience and are enriched through our relationships with others. As such, we have responsibilities to each other, to the Society, and to the community.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ethical Culture a religion? For those who view religion as a set of values to which people are committed and in terms of which they find a faith to live by, Ethical Culture is considered a religion.
Is Ethical Culture considered a religion by all its members? Some members associate the word "religion" with creeds and sectarianism. For them, Ethical Culture is a fellowship based upon a philosophy of life, emphasizing education, growth, and social service with the purpose of helping people live better lives.
Does Ethical Culture accept the idea of a god? Ethical Culture is nontheistic and humanist in emphasis and members are not committed to any theology. We leave belief in a deity up to the individual.

- PHOTOS: Pictures of Manti Te'o
His interview with Katie Couric airs Thursday at 3 p.m.
KATIE: You stuck to the script. And you knew that something was amiss, Manti.
MANTI: Correct.
KATIE: Why?
MANTI: Well, if-anybody put yourself in my situation. Katie, put yourself in my situation. I, my whole world told me that she died on September 12th. Everybody knew that. This girl, who I committed myself to died on September 12th. Now I get a phone call on December sixth, saying that she's alive and then I'm gonna be put on national TV two days later. And to ask me about the same question. You know, what would you do?
Te'o wasn't the only one fooled. His parents also fell for it.
"His mom and dad were brought into the whole scandal. He mom talked to so-called Lennay. His father would text her bible passages and talk about them," Katie Couric said.
But how did Te'o fall in love with someone he never met?
"You know, you listen to his story and it does seem plausible. He sees this picture of a beautiful girl online. He talks to her on the phone, he checks her out with a couple friends," Couric said. "...and he gets validated by his friends, saying, yeah, she's for real."
While some see Te'o as a victim, others still question if he manipulated the truth hoping it would pay off. Te'o father says that's "not so".
"People can speculate about what they think he is. I've known him 21 yrs of his life and he's not a liar. He's a kid," Brian Te'o said.

The Integral as a Function of the Interval
Let's say we take an integrator of bounded variation on an interval and a function that's Riemann-Stieltjes integrable with respect to over that interval. Then we know that is also integrable with respect to over the subinterval . Let's use this to define a function on by
We can immediately say some interesting things about this function. First of all, is, like , of bounded variation. Next, wherever is continuous, so is . Finally, if is increasing, then is differentiable wherever is differentiable and is continuous. At such points, we have . Notice that, as usual, the first two results will hold if we show that they hold for increasing integrators.
These results are similar to those we get from the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and we can use some of the same techniques to prove them. In particular, we call on the Integral Mean-Value Theorem for Riemann-Stieltjes integrals. If we take points and in , this tells us that
where is some point between and .
Now we let be the supremum of on . For any partition of we calculate the variation
thus giving an upper bound to the variation of .
Similarly, let be a point where is continuous. Then given an we can find a so that implies that . Thus , and we see that is continuous at as well.
Finally, we can divide by to find
Then as gets closer to , gets squeezed in towards as well. If is continuous at and is differentiable there, then the limit of this difference quotient exists, and has the value stated.

Under the initiative of project "Mashiv HaRuach" which deals with strengthening the values of Zionism, Kutcher visited the community of Efrat, listened with great interest to a historical review of the community and the Gush Etzion area, dined at a Glatt Kosher restaurant, and even dipped in a local natural spring "Mikva" no less than 151 times! (151 is the numerical equivalent "gematriya" of "Mikva")
The project's director, Rafi Even D'aan briefed Kutcher and the history of settlement in Gush Etzion and spoke to him at length about the region's Jewish history. Rafi told Kutcher about the establishment of the new Jewish settlements after the Six Day War and explained the spiritual and historical significance of Gush Etzion.
"Mashiv HaRuach" is a project of the Israel Center of the OU (organization of Jewish communities) and hosts every year about 30 thousand IDF soldiers to help combine and strengthen the values of Zionism and the IDF.
Photos of Kutcher's visit to Gush Etzion:
Maybe next time, Kutcher's wife Demi Moore will visit us in the Shomron?
Update: From Kutcher's tweets about Israel:
tweet: Connecting with Joshua: http://yfrog.com/n8l5wdj
tweet: Love love love (@ Tomb of the Patriarchs) http://4sq.com/cKStRW
tweet: The morning light of mercy is washing over The Wholly Land. I only hope that I can deliver on it's promise. Wholly=1=love
Best comment heard about his tweets: "He's such a seminary girl..."
--The always funny stam! (who also gets a hat-tip for sending the tweets this way)
Story translated from: NRG/maariv, Photos from the OU.
Last Update: Who needs Richard Goldstone, when we have leftist Walla columnists who bash Kutcher for visiting Hevron (poor translation via google). According to Walla -- anyone visiting Hevron is another Baruch Goldstein...

All your Unix™ are belong to Dennis Ritchie
Bearded synchronicity
Dennis Ritchie, co-author of Unix and the C language, has posted a panoramic view of the sheer versatility of his operating system.
Or more precisely, the Unix name itself. Pre-empting the All Your Bases meme (which should have expired by now, as it was on its last legs when we wrote about it), the great man has rounded up examples of Unix in the unlikeliest places.
"We've eliminated one of your biggest hassles ... loose hinge screws: Introducing UNIX!" boasts the Rodenstock UNIX spectacle frame, echoing a crie de Coeur of myopic BOFHs everywhere.
Other examples Ritchie offers include body toners, nappies and a Costa Rican barbershop.
The Unix trademark is officially owned by The Open Group, of course. Ritchie made the list on April 1 last year (oh yus...), and updated it last month, but it is Friday, and we were only just recovering from the shock of seeing the phrase Digital UNIX epoch (1952) on the Sony Playstation2 Linux boot-up sequence, and began to wonder what mysterious snake oil Ken Olsen had been brewing in his youth, before realizing we'd misread it. Don't write to us about that one. ®

OK, I admit it. Bobby Valentine was not my first choice as manager of the Red Sox. In fact, I wouldn't have even interviewed the guy. I looked at him as a re-tread, who's been out of the Major Leagues for a decade. To steal a line from Hall of Fame broadcaster, Dick Vitale, this could be "The greatest comeback since Lazarus." Now, Valentine is my guy. Because I am a Red Sox fan, and the Sox have chosen Valentine, he is my guy.
Jimmy Fallon said it best in the movie "Fever Pitch". "Is there anything else you still care about that you cared about years ago?" I've thought that one over many times and the answer is "no". A resounding "no". So when my team makes a decision, I will stick by them. Since Valentine was named, pundits have come out of the woodwork, extolling the decision and his virtues. I hope they are right. Most of the opinions are no more important than mine, but one that I respect immensely, is that of Hall of Famer Peter Gammons. Gammons makes a compelling argument that Valentine/Cherington can be a very successful relationship if both parties are going to make winning top priority. Remember that Bobby V isn't exactly inheriting a "bare cupboard". From May 1 to August 31, the Red Sox were the best team in baseball.
I liken the hiring of Bobby Valentine to the election of President Obama. He wasn't my choice, but once elected, he became my President. I want the best for him and the country. I root for him. After all, it helps all of us if he is successful. So Bobby Valentine has my full support (not that it's going to matter to him).
Valentine being hired, meant that Torey Lovullo wasn't. I'm confident that at some point, the former PawSox skipper will manage in the Big Leagues. He will be good.
One morsel of good news surfaced earlier this week. Former Pawtucket manager and Boston first base coach, Ron Johnson has been hired as manager of the Orioles Triple A affiliate, the Norfolk Tides. Dan Duquette, the new GM of the O's also hired RJ to work for the Sox. RJ replaces former IL MVP and Pawtucket/Boston catcher, Gary Allenson in Norfolk. It will be great to see Johnson back in the IL. Norfolk suddenly moves to the top of places I look forward to visiting as I go into my ninth season with the PawSox and twelfth season overall in the League.
