Anniversary of a hero's death
It is hard to believe that today is the seventh anniversary of the passing of Sen. Daniel K. Inouye.
As we've written previously, Inouye's death marked the closing of the most important chapter of Hawaii's life as a state to date.
His quiet leadership built modern Hawaii. The war hero who gave his right arm for his country gave his heart for his state. He proudly wore the title ìSenator Earmarksî for bringing home the money that built highways, schools, supercomputers, technology parks, telescopes and, of course, the massive military presence that defends our country.
Inouye and friends like the late Masaru Pundyî Yokouchi also built the Democratic Party into a force in Hawaii. Inouye served in the Territorial Senate and, then, in 1959 he became Hawaii's first member of the United States House of Representatives. Three years later, he was elected to the United States Senate and remained there for 50 years until his death.
Even though he was a quiet man, he was a larger than life figure. As chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, he wielded immense authority. His wartime heroics won him — belatedly — the country's highest military award, the Medal of Honor.
He was also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom posthumously.
In a 2010 endorsement of Inouye's re-election, the following observations were made in this space:
He is first and foremost a patriot of the first order. . . . His championship of the military in the Pacific is not merely bringing home the largesse for his home state — it is a realization that by dint of our geography, we are the first defense from some would-be enemies in the Far East.
He is also Hawaii's champion. While many criticize his use of earmarks, the senator has carefully used them to improve Hawaii's infrastructure, diversify our economy, and bring the latest in technological advances to our state. That technology lights the imagination of our young people and provides opportunities that were unthinkable a generation ago.
It is hard to imagine a more successful politician than Daniel Inouye. He lifted up his own generation and gave hope to generations to come.

Milk Mustache: Raw Milk from Mermaid Farm, Massachusetts
I promised myself I wouldn't turn this post into a tirade about the regulations of raw milk sales in this country and why consumers should be allowed to decide for themselves if they want to purchase it. (For that, I humbly point you to this piece I wrote last year for Goodeater.org, and to this article, recently published in the Washington Times, about an FDA sting operation that went down when a Pennsylvania Amish farm was caught selling its raw milk across state lines.)
Instead, I'd just like to give a shout-out to Mermaid Farm, Martha's Vineyard's terrific—and only—raw milk dairy. The 36-acre plot, owned by Allen Healy and Caitlin Jones, sits at West Tisbury-Chilmark border along the stretch of Middle Road across from the Brookside oxen farm. It's not the typical postcard-perfect property that you often see on the Vineyard—the kind with sweeping fields and perfectly rolled hay bales. The ground is bumpy and feels a bit cluttered with old tractors, a few greenhouses where Jones nurtures her famous tomatoes, and tall, patchy grass. It's unglamorous, unrefined, and purposeful.
What's New On Serious Eats
Healy moves his small heard of cows back and forth between his farm and a nearby field, where the ladies have more space to roam and graze. I always figure that it's this variety in the cows' diet—plus the time of year and the lack of pasteurization—that's responsible for the subtle flavor differences in the milk from batch to batch. Sometimes the rich, nutty cream flavor is more forward; other times there's a mellow sweetness, as if a few drops of honey dripped into the bottle. I love that it never tastes exactly the same twice.
The only bit of food politics I will drop in here is that Healy has plans in the works to start a milk CSA this summer. He's keeping a binder in the barn next to the self-serve fridge where customers can fill out a spreadsheet with their contact info and how much milk they might expect to drink in a week. For a supposedly hazardous product, there were an awful lot of signatures.

Deloitte a leader among Applications Implementation Service Providers, Worldwide
Oct 03, 2012, 10:01 ET
NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2012 /CNW/ - Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (DTTL ) is pleased to announce that Deloitte member firms have been positioned in the "Leaders" quadrant of Gartner's 2012 Magic Quadrant for Oracle Applications Implementation Service Providers, Worldwide.
Gartner defines "Leaders" as organizations that:
- are performing well today, gaining traction and mind share in the market;
- have a clear vision of market direction,
- are helping clients beyond product road maps,
- are actively building competencies to sustain their leadership position in the market.
There are four quadrants: bottom left and right are niche players and visionaries; top left and right are challengers and leaders. They are organized across a side axis titled "ability to execute" and a bottom axis of "completeness of vision."
"Deloitte member firms are proud to be acknowledged by Gartner in the 'Leaders' quadrant," said Nidal Haddad, Global Oracle Alliance leader, DTTL. "This ranking showcases Deloitte member firms' ability to align deep industry experience with Oracle's strategic vision and underscores member firms' commitment to developing solutions that drive value for their clients."
"The Deloitte network is a Diamond partner of Oracle with member firm practices that Gartner estimates to have 11,000 professionals for Oracle applications and technology implementation globally in 2012 contributing approximately 25% of C&I revenues (refer to source). Its focus is the implementation of Oracle Applications and has the methodologies and proprietary tools necessary to establish and execute a complex program," said Haddad.

Welcome to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Fraternity & Sorority website!
The UA Little Rock fraternity and sorority community is comprised of members of both men's and women's fraternities and sororities. Joining a fraternity or sorority can offer you an unforgettable university experience. Developing life-long friendships with the members in the chapters helps to make the campus seem smaller. For many members, these chapters become a home away from home. In addition to the brotherhood/sisterhood, every chapter is dedicated to enhancing leadership, scholarship, service and financial responsibility. The members of each fraternity and sorority embody the essence of school spirit. These are the students that can be found leading the Student Government Association, cheering at Trojan basketball games, organizing fund-raisers for charities, and participating in numerous other student activities.

This part describes procedures for enforcement and administration of all statutory penalty provisions that the Coast Guard is authorized to enforce.
(a) The term District Commander, when used in this subpart, means the District Commander, or any person under the District Commander's command, delegated to carry out the provisions of §1.07-10(b).
(b) The term Hearing Officer means a Coast Guard officer or employee who has been delegated the authority to assess civil penalties.
(c) The term issuing officer means any qualified Coast Guard commissioned, warrant, or petty officer.
(d) The term Notice of Violation means a notification of violation and preliminary assessment of penalty, given to a party, in accordance with §1.07-11.
(e) The term party means the person alleged to have violated a statute or regulation to which a civil penalty applies and includes an individual or public or private corporation, partnership or other association, or a governmental entity.
[CGD 93-079, 59 FR 16560, Apr. 7, 1994]
(a) Any person may report an apparent violation of any law, regulation, or order that is enforced by the Coast Guard to any Coast Guard facility. When a report of an apparent violation has been received, or when an apparent violation has been detected by any Coast Guard personnel, the matter is investigated or evaluated by Coast Guard personnel. Once an apparent violation has been investigated or evaluated, a report of the investigation may be sent to the District Commander or other designated official in accordance with paragraph (b) of this section or a Notice of Violation under §1.07-11 may be given to the party by an issuing officer.
(b) Reports of any investigation conducted by the Coast Guard or received from any other agency which indicate that a violation may have occurred may be forwarded to a District Commander or other designated official for further action. This is normally the District Commander of the District in which the violation is believed to have occurred, or the District in which the reporting unit or agency is found. The report is reviewed to determine if there is sufficient evidence to establish a prima facie case. If there is insufficient evidence, the case is either returned for further investigation or closed if further action is unwarranted. The case is closed in situations in which the investigation has established that a violation did not occur, the violator is unknown, or there is little likelihood of discovering additional relevant facts. If it is determined that a prima facie case does exist, a case file is prepared and forwarded to the Hearing Officer, with a recommended action. A record of any prior violations by the same person or entity, is forwarded with the case file.
[CGD 78-82, 43 FR 54186, Nov. 20, 1978, as amended by CGD 87-008a, 52 FR 17554, May 11, 1987; CGD 93-079, 59 FR 16560, Apr. 7, 1994; USCG-2000-7223, 65 FR 40054, June 29, 2000]
(a) After investigation and evaluation of an alleged violation has been completed, an issuing officer may issue a Notice of Violation to the party.
(b) The Notice of Violation will contain the following information:
(1) The alleged violation and the applicable law or regulations violated;
(2) The amount of the maximum penalty that may be assessed for each violation;
(3) The amount of proposed penalty that appears to be appropriate;
(4) A statement that payment of the proposed penalty within 45 days will settle the case;
(5) The place to which, and the manner in which, payment is to be made;
(6) A statement that the party may decline the Notice of Violation and that if the Notice of Violation is declined, the party has the right to a hearing prior to a final assessment of a penalty by a Hearing Officer.
(7) A statement that failure to either pay the proposed penalty on the Notice of Violation or decline the Notice of Violation and request a hearing within 45 days will result in a finding of default and the Coast Guard will proceed with the civil penalty in the amount recommended on the Notice of Violation without processing the violation under the procedures described in 33 CFR 1.07-10(b).
(c) The Notice of Violation may be hand delivered to the party or an employee of the party, or may be mailed to the business address of the party.
(d) If a party declines the Notice of Violation within 45 days, the case file will be sent to the District Commander for processing under the procedures described in 33 CFR 1.07-10(b).
(e) If a party pays the proposed penalty on the Notice of Violation within 45 days, a finding of proved will be entered into the case file.
(f) If within 45 days of receipt a party—
(1) Fails to pay the proposed penalty on the Notice of Violation; and
(2) Fails to decline the Notice of Violation—the Coast Guard will enter a finding of default in the case file and proceed with the civil penalty in the amount recommended on the Notice of Violation without processing the violation under the procedures described in 33 CFR 1.07-10(b).
[CGD 93-079, 59 FR 66482, Dec. 27, 1994, as amended by USCG-2001-9175, 67 FR 38388, June 4, 2002]
(a) The Hearing Officer has no other responsibility, direct or supervisory, for the investigation of cases referred for the assessment of civil penalties. The hearing officer may take action on a case referred by any District Commander.
(b) The Hearing Officer decides each case on the basis of the evidence before him, and must have no prior connection with the case. The Hearing Officer is solely responsible for the decision in each case referred to him.
(c) The Hearing Officer is authorized to administer oaths and issue subpoenas necessary to the conduct of a hearing, to the extent provided by law.
[CGD 78-82, 43 FR 54186, Nov. 20, 1978, as amended by CGD 87-008a, 52 FR 17554, May 11, 1987; USCG-2002-12471, 67 FR 41331, June 18, 2002]
(a) When a case is received for action, the Hearing Officer makes a preliminary examination of the material submitted. If, on the basis of the preliminary examination, the Hearing Officer determines that there is insufficient evidence to proceed, or that there is any other reason which would make penalty action inappropriate, the Hearing Officer returns the case to the District Commander with a written statement of the reason. The District Commander may close the case or cause a further investigation of the alleged violation to be made with a view toward resubmittal of the case to the Hearing Officer.
(b) If on the basis of the preliminary examination of the case file, the Hearing Officer determines that a violation appears to have been committed, the Hearing Officer notifies the party in writing of:
(1) The alleged violation and the applicable law or regulations;
(2) The amount of the maximum penalty that may be assessed for each violation;
(3) The general nature of the procedure for assessing and collecting the penalty;
(4) The amount of penalty that appears to be appropriate, based on the material then available to the Hearing Officer;
(5) The right to examine all materials in the case file and have a copy of all written documents provided upon request; and,
(6) The fact that the party may demand a hearing prior to any actual assessment of a penalty.
(c) If at any time it appears that the addition of another party to the proceedings is necessary or desirable, the Hearing Officer provides the additional party with notice as described above.
(a) Within 30 days after receipt of notice of the initiation of the action, as described above, the party, or counsel for the party, may request a hearing, provide any written evidence and arguments in lieu of a hearing, or pay the amount specified in the notice as being appropriate. A hearing must be requested in writing; the request must specify the issues which are in dispute. Failure to specify a nonjurisdictional issue will preclude its consideration.
(b) The right to a hearing is waived if the party does not submit the request to the Hearing Officer within 30 days after receiving notice of the alleged violation. At the discretion of the Hearing Officer, a hearing may be granted if the party submits a late request.
(c) The Hearing Officer must promptly schedule all hearings which are requested. The Hearing Officer shall grant any delays or continuances which may be necessary or desirable in the interest of fairly resolving the case.
(d) A party who has requested a hearing may amend the specification of the issues in dispute at any time up to 10 days before the scheduled date of the hearing. Issues raised later than 10 days before the scheduled hearing may be presented only at the discretion of the Hearing Officer.
[CGD 78-82, 43 FR 54186, Nov. 20, 1978, as amended by CGD 85-001A, 51 FR 19329, May 29, 1986]
The alleged violator may, upon request, receive a free copy of all the written evidence in the case file, except material that would disclose or lead to the disclosure of the identity of a confidential informant. Other evidence or material, such as blueprints, sound or video tapes, oil samples, and photographs may be examined in the Hearing Officer's offices. The Hearing Officer may provide for examination or testing of evidence at other locations if there are adequate safeguards to prevent loss or tampering.
(a) In addition to information treated as confidential under §1.07-30, a request for confidential treatment of a document or portion thereof may be made by the person supplying the information on the basis that the information is:
(1) Confidential financial information, trade secrets, or other material exempt from disclosure by the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552);
(2) Required to be held in confidence by 18 U.S.C. 1905; or
(3) Otherwise exempt by law from disclosure.
(b) The person desiring confidential treatment must submit the request to the Hearing Officer in writing and state the reasons justifying nondisclosure. Failure to make a timely request may result in a document being considered as nonconfidential and subject to release.
(c) Confidential material is not considered by the Hearing Officer in reaching a decision unless:
(1) It has been furnished by a party, or
(2) It has been furnished pursuant to a subpoena.
[CGD 78-82, 43 FR 54186, Nov. 20, 1978, as amended by USCG-2002-12471, 67 FR 41331, June 18, 2002]
A party has the right to be represented at all stages of the proceeding by counsel. After receiving notification that a party is represented by counsel, the Hearing Officer directs all further communications to that counsel.
(a) The hearing is normally held at the office of the Hearing Officer.
(b) The Hearing Officer may transfer a case to another Hearing Officer on request or on the Hearing Officer's own motion.
(c) A request for change of location of a hearing or transfer to another Hearing Officer must be in writing and state the reasons why the requested action is necessary or desirable. Action on the request is at the discretion of the Hearing Officer.
[CGD 87-008a, 52 FR 17554, May 11, 1987]
A party may present the testimony of any witness either through a personal appearance or through a written statement. The party may request the assistance of the Hearing Officer in obtaining the personal appearance of a witness. The request must be in writing and state the reasons why a written statement would be inadequate, the issue or issues to which the testimony would be relevant, and the substance of the expected testimony. If the Hearing Officer determines that the personal appearance of the witness may materially aid in the decision on the case, the Hearing Officer seeks to obtain the witness' appearance. Because many statutes prescribing civil penalties do not provide subpoena power, there may be cases where a witness cannot be required to attend. In such a case, the Hearing Officer may move the hearing to the witness' location, accept a written statement, or accept a stipulation in lieu of testimony. If none of these procedures is practical, the Hearing Officer shall proceed on the basis of the evidence before him.
[CGD 78-82, 43 FR 54186, Nov. 20, 1978, as amended by USCG-2002-12471, 67 FR 41331, June 18, 2002]
(a) The Hearing Officer must conduct a fair and impartial proceeding in which the party is given a full opportunity to be heard. At the outset of the hearing, the Hearing Officer insures that the party is aware of the nature of the proceeding and of the alleged violation, and of the provisions of the law or regulation allegedly violated.
(b) The material in the case file pertinent to the issues to be determined by the Hearing Officer is presented. The party has the right to examine, and to respond to or rebut, this material. The party may offer any facts, statements, explanations, documents, sworn or unsworn testimony, or other exculpatory items which bear on appropriate issues, or which may be relevant to the size of an appropriate penalty. The Hearing Officer may require the authentication of any written exhibit or statement.
(c) At the close of the party's presentation of evidence, the Hearing Officer may allow the introduction of rebuttal evidence. The Hearing Officer may allow the party to respond to any such evidence submitted.
(d) In receiving evidence, the Hearing Officer is not bound by strict rules of evidence. In evaluating the evidence presented, the Hearing Officer must give due consideration to the reliability and relevance of each item of evidence.
(e) The Hearing Officer may take notice of matters which are subject to a high degree of indisputability and are commonly known in the community or are ascertainable from readily available sources of known accuracy. Prior to taking notice of a matter, the Hearing Officer gives the party an opportunity to show why notice should not be taken. In any case in which notice is taken, the Hearing Officer places a written statement of the matters as to which notice was taken in the record, with the basis for such notice, including a statement that the party consented to notice being taken or a summary of the party's objections.
(f) After the evidence in the case has been presented, the party may present argument on the issues in the case. The party may also request an opportunity to submit a written statement for consideration by the Hearing Officer and for further review. The Hearing Officer shall allow a reasonable time for submission of the statement and shall specify the date by which it must be received. If the statement is not received within the time prescribed, or within the limits of any extension of time granted by the Hearing Officer, the Hearing Officer renders his decision in the case.
(a) A verbatim transcript will not normally be prepared. The Hearing Officer prepares notes on the material and points raised by the party, in sufficient detail to permit a full and fair review and resolution of the case, should it be appealed.
(b) A party may, at its own expense, cause a verbatim transcript to be made. If a verbatim transcript is made, the party shall submit two copies to the Hearing Officer not later than the time of filing an administrative appeal. The Hearing Officer includes them in the record.
[CGD 78-82, 43 FR 54186, Nov. 20, 1978, as amended by USCG-2002-12471, 67 FR 41331, June 18, 2002]
(a) The Hearing Officer issues a written decision. Any decision to assess a penalty is based upon substantial evidence in the record. If the Hearing Officer finds that there is not substantial evidence in the record establishing the alleged violation or some other violation of which the party had full and fair notice, the Hearing Officer shall dismiss the case and remand it to the District Commander. A dismissal is without prejudice to the District Commander's right to refile the case and have it reheard if additional evidence is obtained. A dismissal following a rehearing is final and with prejudice.
(b) If the Hearing Officer assesses a penalty, the Hearing Officer's decision contains a statement advising the party of the right to an administrative appeal. The party is advised that failure to submit an appeal within the prescribed time will bar its consideration and that failure to appeal on the basis of a particular issue will constitute a waiver of that issue in any subsequent proceeding.
[CGD 78-82, 43 FR 54186, Nov. 20, 1978, as amended by CGD 85-001A, 51 FR 19329, May 29, 1986]
(a) Any appeal from the decision of the Hearing Officer must be submitted by a party within 30 days from the date of receipt of the decision. The appeal and any supporting brief must be submitted to the Hearing Officer. The only issues which will be considered on appeal are those issues specified in the appeal which were properly raised before the Hearing Officer and jurisdictional questions.
(b) The failure to file an appeal within the prescribed time limit results in the action of the Hearing Officer becoming the final agency action in the case.
(a) Upon receipt, the Hearing Officer provides a copy of the appeal and any supporting brief to the District Commander who referred the case. Any comments which the District Commander desires to submit must be received by the Hearing Officer within 30 days. The Hearing Officer includes the District Commander's comments, or not later than 30 days after receipt of the appeal if no comments are submitted by the District Commander, the Hearing Officer forwards all materials in the case to the Commandant.
(b) The Commandant issues a written decision in each case and furnishes copies to the party, the District Commander, and the Hearing Officer, The Commandant may affirm, reverse, or modify the decision, or remand the case for new or additional proceedings. In the absence of a remand, the decision of the Commandant on appeal shall be final. In addition to the actions which may be taken by the Commandant on appeal, the Commandant may also remit, mitigate or suspend the assessment in whole or in part. Upon the taking of remission, mitigation, or suspension action, the Commandant will inform the party of the action and any conditions placed on the action.
[CGD 78-82, 43 FR 54186, Nov. 20, 1978, as amended by CGD 87-008a, 52 FR 17555, May 11, 1987]
(a) At any time prior to final agency action in a civil penalty case, a party may petition to reopen the hearing on the basis of newly discovered evidence.
(b) Petitions to reopen must be in writing describing the newly found evidence and must state why the evidence would probably produce a different result favorable to the petitioner, whether the evidence was known to the petitioner at the time of the hearing and, if not, why the newly found evidence could not have been discovered in the exercise of due diligence. The party must submit the petition to the Hearing Officer.
(c) The District Commander may file comments in opposition to the petition. If comments are filed, a copy is provided the party.
(d) A petition to reopen is considered by the Hearing Officer unless an appeal has been filed, in which case the petition is considered by the Commandant.
(e) The decision on the petition is decided on the basis of the record, the petition, and the comments in opposition, if any. The petition is granted only when newly found evidence is described which has a direct and material bearing on the issues and when a valid explanation is provided as to why the evidence was not and could not have been, in the exercise of due diligence, produced at the hearing. The decision is rendered in writing.
(f) Following a denial of a petition to reopen, the party is given 30 days to file an appeal if one has not already been filed, or to amend an appeal which has already been filed.
[CGD 78-82, 43 FR 54186, Nov. 20, 1978, as amended by CGD 87-008a, 52 FR 17555, May 11, 1987]
(a) Payment of a civil penalty may be made by check or postal money order payable to the U.S. Coast Guard.
(b) Within 30 days after receipt of the Commandant's decision on appeal, or the Hearing Officer's decision in a case in which no appeal has been filed, the party must submit payment of any assessed penalty to the office specified in the assessment notice. Failure to make timely payment will result in the institution of appropriate action under the Federal Claims Collection Act and the regulations issued thereunder.
(c) When a penalty of not more than $200 has been assessed under Chapter 43 or 123 of Title 46 U.S.C., the matter may be referred for collection of the penalty directly to the Federal Magistrate of the jurisdiction wherein the person liable may be found, for the institution of collection procedures under supervision of the district court, if the court has issued an order delegating such authority under section 636(b) of Title 28, United States Code.
[CGD 87-008a, 52 FR 17555, May 11, 1987]
(a) Prosecution in the Federal courts for violations of those laws or regulations enforced by the Coast Guard which provide, upon conviction, for punishment by fine or imprisonment is a matter finally determined by the Department of Justice. This final determination consists of deciding whether and under what conditions to prosecute or to abandon prosecution.
(b) Except in those cases where the approval of the Commandant is required, the Area, Maintenance & Logistics Command (MLC), and District Commanders are authorized to refer the case to the U.S. attorney. The Commandant's approval is required in the following cases where evidence of a criminal offense is disclosed:
(1) Marine casualties or accidents resulting in death.
(2) Marine Boards (46 CFR part 4).
(3) Violations of port security regulations (33 CFR parts 6, 121 to 126 inclusive).
(c) The Area, MLC, or District Commander will identify the laws or regulations which were violated and make specific recommendations concerning the proceedings to be instituted by the U.S. attorney in every case.
[CGD 78-82, 43 FR 54186, Nov. 20, 1978, as amended by USCG-2001-9286, 66 FR 33639, June 25, 2001]
(a) If a violation of law or regulation carries both a civil and a criminal penalty, the Area, MLC, and District Commanders are authorized to determine whether to institute civil penalty proceedings or to refer the case to the U.S. attorney for prosecution in accordance with §1.07-90.
(b) When the U.S. Attorney declines to institute criminal proceedings, the Area, MLC, or District Commander decides whether to initiate civil penalty proceedings or to close the case.
[CGD 78-82, 43 FR 54186, Nov. 20, 1978, as amended by USCG-2001-9286, 66 FR 33639, June 25, 2001]

(2) Personal use quantity means a quantity of a controlled substance as specified in 19 CFR 171.51.
(b) When a commercial fishing industry vessel is subject to seizure for a violation of 21 U.S.C. 881(a)(4), (6), or (7); of 19 U.S.C. 1595a(a); or of 49 U.S.C. App. 782 and the violation involves the possession of a personal use quantity of a controlled substance, the vessel shall be issued a summons to appear as prescribed in subpart F of 19 CFR part 171 in lieu of seizure, provided that the vessel is:
(1) Proceeding to or from a fishing area or intermediate port of call; or
(2) Actively engaged in fishing operations.

Last week, I attended an event Samsung had in Silicon Valley to celebrate the opening of its new startup accelerator in Silicon Valley.
One of the largest consumer electronics and mobile companies in the world, Korea's Samsung has had a relatively quiet profile in the global tech center, but that has changed dramatically of late.
Along with the new startup space, there is also the previously announced new 8.5-acre campus in Mountain View for its U.S. research and development center, slated for completion in 2014 and set for 2,000 employees (see image below).
But the Samsung accelerator is first out of the gate, lodged on the second floor of the former Borders Books space on University Avenue in Palo Alto. The historic property has a splashy movie marquee, since it used to house the Varsity Theatre.
Aimed at linking tech entrepreneurs and other players more closely with Samsung, the move is being spearheaded by a relatively new hire: David Eun, who became its EVP in December to lead a push to create more media offerings. Previous to Samsung, Eun has been an exec at both Google and AOL.
Eun is already well known in Silicon Valley — and gained some more attention recently, after he walked away from an airline crash at San Francisco's international airport. He was flying in from Korea and he quickly chronicled the accident with dramatic photos on several social networks after he escaped from the disaster.
Eun talked a little about that and more in his speech opening the space last week:

Springdale weather tower problem fixed
The weather radio tower in Springdale, Ark., stopped working Wednesday, according to Robert Darby with the National Weather Service in Tulsa.
Meteorologist Karen Hatfield said when they contacted the phone company they realized something in the phone line caused the signal coming from the Springdale tower to only put out static.
"Usually because of the system we have that can remotely monitor we can pin point whether there's a problem with our system or the phone line," said Hatfield.
People in southern Benton County, all of Washington County, western Madison County and western Carroll County use the Springdale Tower. There are no other towers near enough to these areas for most people to tune in, said Darby.
They don't know what caused the problem. Hatfield said they use a system that lets them know when something is wrong with the tower signals.
"By listening to what's coming out the transmitter we can actually hear what say someone in Fayetteville or Springdale that's actually listening to the broadcast is hearing because of that we can pin point a phone line issue," said Hatfield.
Hatfield said they knew everything was back to normal thanks to an alert system at the national weather service's office in Tulsa.
"Whenever we stop getting those alerts it generally means that the problem whether it be with the transmitter itself or the phone line has been corrected," said Hatfield.
The National Weather service says they'll be closely monitoring the tower in Springdale.

After several leaks of upcoming SkyDrive features made the rounds on the internet in the past few days, Microsoft confirmed a bunch of fantastic updates to SkyDrive on their Building Windows 8 blog today.
Let's look at what was announced in the post by Omar Shahine and Mike Torres, Group Program Managers for SkyDrive:
- Metro-style SkyDrive app for Windows 8
- Windows Explorer integration of SkyDrive
- SkyDrive.com browsing of remote computer files
In addition, several other items were confirmed:
- The SkyDrive desktop app is not limited to Windows 8. It will be supported on Windows 7 and Windows Vista as well. Curiously (and perhaps, deliberately?) no mention of a Mac desktop app, even though the screenshot leaks showed there may be a Mac app coming as well.
- The post also confirmed that SkyDrive, which offers 25GB free as of today, will have the ability to get upgraded. Obviously, no details were mentioned about the pricing or the tiers, but finally we have official confirmation that we will be able to upgrade that storage, so we can use it meaningfully as a "personal cloud".
- SkyDrive was recently updated to handle file sizes of up to 100MB, but in today's day and age it could be a limiting factor, especially with videos. Today we have confirmation that we will be able to upload files with sizes up to 2GB!
- With the remote file browsing feature, we also have confirmation that there will be 2-factor authentication required, unless those PCs are trusted PCs.
Finally, because SkyDrive app will be available to any other app in Windows 8 via Charms and Contracts, every app developer now has access to the SkyDrive. Any app which opens and saves documents and photos, will automatically be able to use SkyDrive for the purpose. This will be a wonderful feature for app developers as well as customers, who will have instant access to their SkyDrive files in Windows 8.

We wouldn't be surprised to learn that somewhere out there Anthony Mackie trashed a hotel room out of pure frustration.
Quentin Tarantino is reportedly courting Will Smith to star in his slave revenge saga, "Django Unchained," according to Heat Vision.
The film tells the story of an escaped slave who is mentored by a German, to be played by Christoph Waltz, in the fine art of bounty hunting, before heading out to reunite with his wife and take his revenge the evil plantation owner holding her.
U.S. & World
Meanwhile, Tarantino is also considering Samuel L. Jackson for Monsieur Calvin Candie, the plantation owner's house slave.
When this project started gaining serious steam a week or so ago, we were thinking that this could be a great opportunity for Mackie to star in a major film. Frankly, we're shocked that Tarantino would go with such a safe and bland choice as Smith, who hasn't done in a film in three years, "Seven Pounds."

Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa Image
U.S. Army Command Sgt. Maj. Butler Kendrick Jr. assumed responsibility as the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa command senior enlisted leader, succeeding U.S. Army Sgt. Maj. Claudell Taylor, during a Relinquishment of Authority ceremony at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, June 19, 2015.
The U.S. Marine Corps is arguably one of the most revered institutions within the U.S. Department of Defense. So, when Combined Task Force – Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA) leadership recently welcomed members of the Djibouti Armed Forces (FAD) into the U.S. Marine Corps Corporals Course, it was a distinct honor.
Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines of Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa, Camp Lemonnier and tenant units shed blood, sweat and tears during the Joint Warrior Competition here, Sept. 9.
U.S. Embassy representatives from eight East African nations joined military leaders from U.S. Africa Command and Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa at Camp Lemonnier Jan. 24, for the 2017 East Africa Security Synchronization Conference.
Within hours of being notified, CJTF-HOA's East Africa Response Force prepared dozens of Soldiers and tons of supplies for takeoff during an emergency response exercise, validating the EARF's rapid response capabilities.

Meet and Eat: Miki Kawasaki, Spring Editorial Intern
Getting to know the folks behind the food and drinks you love.
Name: Miki Kawasaki
Location: Bronx, NY
Occupation: Recent grad of the master's program in gastronomy at Boston University
Website/Twitter: What's For Dinner
Guilty pleasures? Snyder's cheddar cheese pretzel pieces. When I was a kid, I loved Snyder's garlic pretzel nibblers and would always look for the broken bits because they had the most of that sprayed on flavor tucked into the nooks and crannies. Sadly, they have been replaced by garlic and herb, which just isn't the same. The cheddar cheese pieces are a close second, but sometimes I longingly scour the internet or grocery snack aisles in hopes of being reunited with my beloved garlic pretzels.
Describe your perfect meal. I lived in DC for a few years, where I fell in love with Ethiopian food. My go to spot was Zenebech, this small carry-out that supposedly supplies a bunch of other restaurants with injera, the spongy bread that accompanies most Ethiopian meals. Few things make me happier than their kitfo (raw minced beef) dunked in berbere powder with a side of collard greens.
What food won't you eat? This probably makes me something of a heretic, but I don't like the smell, taste, or texture of eggs. I think it's mostly psychological, stemming from an unfortunate childhood incident. I'll try maybe once a year to see if I can get myself to eat one, but it usually backfires.
Favorite food person? Darra Goldstein, professor of Russian at Williams College and founding editor of Gastronomica. She's a tremendous food writer and lecturer, but I think her work stands out for me because she has a really distinct aesthetic and curatorial sense, which is evident in the issues of Gastronomica produced during her tenure. I once went to a lecture she gave on the history of the fork and could have just spent hours ogling all the pictures of old cutlery she brought along.
When did you first realize you were a serious eater? My first semester at college, when I joined a student-run food co-op instead of going on the school meal plan because I couldn't bear the thought of eating standard issue food every day. I figured that I'd at least be able to get meals prepared with love and care there. I soon realized that most college aged people are still grasping the basics of cooking and promptly got a part-time job in the cafeteria so I could take a break from all the overcooked quinoa a few times a week.
What do your family and friends think of your food obsessions? I seem to have a disproportionate number of friends who are vegetarian or follow some sort of special diet. They are generally pretty curious about and supportive of my culinary exploits though, as long as I bring some gluten-free raw vegan pie whenever we get together for a potluck. My dad has also been a trooper when it comes to indulging my sometimes over-the-top fixations. He was pretty game when I wanted to try every sausage and schnitzel place I came across when we went to Germany together.
Favorite food sites or blogs? I love finding recipe blogs where I feel like I have a shared sensibility with the author. SheSimmers, Kalofagas, and Simply Recipes are a few good examples. And although I can't cook on the level that they do, Aki Kamozawa and H. Alexander Talbot's Ideas in Food is a constant source of inspiration.
Everyone has a go-to person they call for restaurant recommendations. Who's yours? In DC, my friend Lenzy is that guy who has been to every place you've never heard of. If there's a brand new spot, he's probably already been to their soft opening and has made friends with the bartender. I don't know how he does it.
What is your favorite meal of the day and where do you get it? Lunch, because I'm a firm believer in Liz Lemon's philosophy that "all anyone really wants in this life is to sit in peace and eat a sandwich." In DC, I'd go for the chivito or cubano at Fast Gourmet. In Boston, it was the corned beef, salami, and chopped liver on rye at Michael's Deli. In New York, the pastrami at Eisenberg's with a healthy squirt of mustard is always a good standby.
Do you ever cook? What's the best dish you make? I probably cook 90% of the meals that I eat, but I rarely make the same thing twice because there are too many recipes out there to try. About a year ago though I started watching this Korean sitcom called Pasta, in which the main character becomes obsessed with perfecting aglio e olio (spaghetti with garlic and olive oil). I soon found myself doing the same. I'll still make it because it involves only ingredients that are usually lying around my cupboard. It's best with a bit of white miso, dry vermouth, and Parmesan.

Greenpeace says it will not organise protests during the United Nations conference about climate change (COP-18) that will take place in Doha from November 26 to December 27. During COP-17, held in Durban (South Africa) in 2011, the organisation occupied the conference centre where UN climate talks were being held.
Hoda Baraka, Communications representative of the Arab World Project of Greenpeace Mediterranean, told The Peninsula that "due to practical challenges in a country where we have no local office, we have finally decided not to organise visual events in Doha in the way that we have had at many previous Conference of the Parties".
The representative of Greenpeace added that "we did explore in detail the possibilities of doing so, but found that we could not carry out activities with sufficient impact at reasonable cost". For that reason, the presence of Greenpeace will focus on lobbying with the delegations and interacting with the media.
Nevertheless, the Greenpeace official stated that "of course we still take the opportunity of COP-18 very seriously, and we are sending a large delegation of climate policy experts and communications specialists".
The lack of an office in Doha did not prevent Greenpeace from sending its flagship to the Doha WTO meeting in 2001:
Greenpeace will dock its flagship Rainbow Warrior outside the World Trade Organisation (WTO) ministerial meeting in Doha from November 9-13 to push environmental causes, the group said Monday. Representatives of local communities from the five continents whose livelihoods may be affected by WTO decisions will be among about 35 people on board, Greenpeace political director Remi Parmentier told AFP. He said permission was granted to berth the vessel in full view of the conference hotel during a meeting with Qatar's Foreign Minister Foreign Minister Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani in Doha on Sunday.
Could it be that the Qataris this time did not allow free parking for the Greenpeace new luxury yacht in front of the brand new Qatar National Convention Centre, the venue of the COP18? Or maybe the new yacht is too modest accomodation for the present generation of Greenpeace top brass? Instead Kumi Naidoo and his "large delegation" of "climate policy experts" and "communications specialists" seems to have opted to stay invisible, most probably in the cosy comfort of one of the many Doha five star hotels.
Could the Torch be the preferred choice for Kumi and his band of greenies?:

Hornby and Bachmann (OO Gauge / 1:76) Train Sets, plus Graham Farish (N Gauge / 1:148)
All Hornby Train Sets include track, controller, transformer and train, most also include the trakmat scenic mat. We do not consider any Hornby Train Set to be suitable for under 5's. We recommend ages 8+ as a minimum for all large Steam locomotive Hornby Train Sets (Flying Scotsman, Mallard etc) as they are fiddly to fit onto the track. All suggested layouts are ideally nailed down onto a 6 foot by 4 foot board - we recommend half inch Chipboard.
Bachmann sets are basically the same as their Hornby equivalents - the track is identical and the controllers, trains and so on are completely Hornby compatible - the benefit of a Bachmann set over the Hornby equivalent is twofold though - the locos and rolling stock are "full detail" (i.e. the same as sold separately at full price, as opposed to Hornby's sets which include the lower detail locos, wagons and coaches) and the Bachmann train controller is a very high grade, robust unit which will generally outlast the Hornby one (to the extent that we often recommend a Bachmann controller to replace a Hornby one when it dies).
Graham Farish sets are N gauge (small) size and suitable for adults only. These are very compact and can be set up on a small table or board. We stock separate Farish locos, track and rolling stock, plus buildings - so you can create a miniature world - just smaller still than the regular size.
We carry one of the widest selections of model train sets in the United Kingdom - if it's shown on this page, it is in stock.

In January, the University of Houston's Moores Opera Center will offer a much closer view of a Mozart classic and has a special treat for fans of Brit-coms.
For its winter repertory, the center will present Mozart's "The Magic Flute" (Jan. 27, 29 - 31) and Benjamin Britten's "Albert Herring" (Jan. 28, 30).
"The Magic Flute" is among Mozart's most popular and influential works. The musical adventure focuses on young hero Tamino who races to save the Queen of the Night's daughter from a wicked sorcerer. On his mission, he must overcome several obstacles and is accompanied by a birdman. Directed by Buck Ross, the UH production will transport the fantasy tale to an intergalactic setting. It also will utilize 3D technology to present an exciting new view of Mozart's classic. The opera will be performed in English with English surtitles and 3D glasses will be available for audience members.
"'The Magic Flute' is one of the great works in opera literature," Ross said. "I can guarantee you that no one has seen it performed quite like this. This will be a feast for the eyes and ears. It will be quite stunning."
"Albert Herring" brings audiences back to earth for a comic tale set during a small British town's May Festival. The festival requires a virtuous woman to be named May Queen, but none can be found. The title character is reluctantly named May King. All is well until someone spikes the punch, and the May King embarks on a night of royal debauchery.

State Rep. Balks at Voucher Funding for Muslim School
Just as Louisiana's legislative session was wrapping up earlier this month, state Rep. Kenneth Havard refused to vote for any voucher program that "will fund Islamic teaching." According to the AP, the Islamic School of Greater New Orleans was on a list of schools approved by the state education department to accept as many as 38 voucher students. Havard declared: "I won't go back home and explain to my people that I supported this."
For unreported reasons, the Islamic school subsequently withdrew itself from participation in the program and the voucher funding was approved 51 to 49. With the program now enacted and funded, nothing appears to stand in the way of the Islamic school requesting that it be added back to the list, and it is hard to imagine a constitutionally sound basis for rejecting such a request.
This episode illustrates a fundamental flaw in government‐funded voucher programs: they must either reject every controversial educational option from eligibility or they compel taxpayers to support types of education that violate their convictions. In either case, someone loses. Either poor Muslims in New Orleans are denied vouchers or taxpayers who don't wish to support Muslim schools are compelled to do so.
It doesn't have to be that way. Education tax credit programs can ensure universal access to the education marketplace without violating anyone's freedom of conscience. That's because tax credits extend choice not only to parents but to taxpayers as well. Taxpayers in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and a half dozen other states can choose to donate to nonprofit tuition‐assistance organizations that serve the poor. If they do make a donation, they pick the organization that receives their funds, whether it be Catholic, Muslim, Jewish, secular or entirely indifferent to religiosity.
Similarly, direct education tax credits for parents who pay for their own children's education compel no one to support those parents' choices. Such personal education tax credits, which already exist in Illinois and Iowa, merely let parents keep more of their own money. Far from increasing the tax burden on their fellow citizens, parents who pay for their own children's education with the help of a credit save other taxpayers from having to pay for their children's state schooling.
The school choice movement does not need to throw taxpayers' freedom of conscience under the bus to secure freedom of choice for parents.

The best name in women's figure skating might belong to the American champion, Gracie Gold.
It certainly will be the most memorable if she can match her moniker by winning gold in this week's figure skating competition at the Winter Games.
The 18-year-old skating star, who made her Sochi debut in the team event at the start of the Games, told the Today show this week that 80 percent of her would be satisfied with just having made it onto Olympic ice.
But that the other 20 percent is yearning to medal. With her short program performance looming on Wednesday, the up-and-coming skating star will have to pull out all the stops in order to win the grand prize.
"I think I can give the podium a go, for sure," she told Today's Savannah Guthrie. "I know some people say that I'm a dark horse, but I think I'm a little bit lighter in color."
Gold has already helped Team USA win bronze in the team event, delivering a superb free skate program on Feb. 9 that earned her highest international score in the event. But skating has long been an individual sport, and Gold is looking to grab another medal for herself.
"I definitely think in singles I have a chance to medal; so do a lot of people," she told The Associated Press. "Who is going to leave everything out on the ice? The Olympics is about, 'This is what I have, go ahead and beat it.'"
Gold won her first national championship in January in Boston with two strong programs. Working with Frank Carroll, who coached Michelle Kwan and Evan Lysacek, Gold has improved exponentially this season.
"I think the year is 2014 and it's a new Gracie," Gold said. "With Frank every day after I am done jumping, we just take time to appreciate the nuances and the music and connecting with the audience and judges and have that warmth with my skating, the things that light up the rink."
She will need to continue that rapid growth at the games, because defending champion Yuna Kim and silver medalist Mao Asada are imposing opponents, due to skate 17th and 30th, respectively, in Wednesday's short program. Gold will skate in the 22nd position, and Russian whiz-kid Yulia Lipnitskaya right behind her in the 25th slot.
"There are so many different variables, and the women's field is so good this year," the 18-year-old Gold said. "Yuna Kim and Asada and then all the new kids on the block."
Gold gave everything she had at the national championships, edging out 15-year-old Polina Edmunds and 2010 Olympic fourth-place finisher Mirai Nagasu for first place. But Nagasu was left off the team for the top American skater, Ashley Wagner, who struggled in Boston but was given a spot because of her strong international record.
While Wagner reboots from her disappointing scores in the team short program, Gold has taken over the spotlight. Unlike the days of Tonya and Nancy and its aftermath, when figure skating was front and center even in non-Olympic years, the sport rarely leaps into the limelight now. But this year's Sochi Games have had people paying attention to the lutz-and-loop crowd.
Gold has leaped onto the scene the past two years. She and Wagner finished high enough at the 2013 world championships to ensure the American women would have the maximum three spots in the Sochi field. She didn't do much in the Grand Prix series, but came on spectacularly at nationals.
"Going to nationals, I was not going to just participate, but to compete, going for the top spot, going for gold," she said. "I dedicated myself to that moment and I was able to hit it pretty well, and I am more than happy with that."
Now, it's time to prove herself at the Olympics.
"I remember a couple of years ago, I was watching my role models in the Olympics," Gold said. "And now to be that role model, it's so wonderful. You just remember why you do what you do. The passion in your sport is so important."

Legal scholars argued over Bush administration policies, of course. But underlying these expected disagreements were divisions over just what the post-9/11 environment was, with debates over whether "war" or "state of emergency" was the better way to frame the sort of security environment Americans found themselves. Many adopted the wartime frame and supported an expansion of executive power, emphasizing the idea that wartime justified government action to address the danger. Some international law scholars countered that the war on terror did not fit the definition of war under international law. This mattered since the switch from peace to war triggered the application of the law of war and international human rights protections. Bruce Ackerman argued that this era was not a war, but an emergency. Before long "emergency" or "crisis" became dominant ways of describing the era. Some scholars re-characterized wartimes in American history as emergency times, and at least one important scholarly paper about the impact of war on American courts was renamed, substituting "crisis" for "war."
Underlying the disagreement about how to characterize the post-9/11 era was the concern that "wartime" called for the suspension of normal restrictions on executive power. Searching for workable analogies, Mark Tushnet argued that
the long duration of the "war on terrorism" suggests that we ought not to think of it as a war in the sense that the Second World War was a war. It is, perhaps, more like a condition than a war -- more like the war on cancer, the war on poverty, or, most pertinently, the war on crime. Suspending legality during a time-limited war is one thing. Suspending it during a more or less permanent condition is quite another.The play in the terms of post-9/11 scholarship reveals a broader issue. Like the Cold War era, there was a lack of fit between the conceptual categories of wartime and peacetime and the geopolitical era which scholars confronted. An essential element of a traditional wartime was that war was temporary. And in the past, war was most commonly defined as a conflict between nations, not between a nation and a social group or an ideology. The state had dropped out of many definitions of war by the end of the 20th century. But the war on terror also seemed to defy the idea that war was limited in time.
Most legal scholars responded not by jettisoning the old categories, but by renaming and re-imposing them, retaining the distinction between normal times and exceptional times. For example, in a 2005 essay, Samuel Issacharoff and Richard H. Pildes described the dividing lines not as between wartime and peacetime, but between "normal times" and "times of heightened risk to the physical safety" of citizens. Post-9/11 scholarship persisted in the assumption that normality is a state of existence outside times of danger. "Wartime" and "peacetime" broke down, but the basic temporal structure (normal times, ruptured by non-normal times) largely remained in place in legal thought, even if it seemed unclear whether normal times would ever return.
While many drew comparisons between the post-9/11 era and other wartimes, for Benjamin Wittes, the era had a different character, for the war on terror was "a conflict unlike any that this country has ever faced." For Wittes, it was reasonable for the Bush Administration to adopt a war model after 9/11, but later in the decade the war on terror had "entered a different phase" in which "traditional warfare had given way to something more elastic." As the immediacy of September 11 receded, the nation seemed to enter an ambiguous era that was neither wartime nor peacetime. For the most part, however, scholars, courts and lawmakers continued to employ the old categories, although wartime had been renamed as crisis time.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The International Monetary Fund said Ireland could delay some of the budget cuts required under its bailout program if the country's economy grows more slowly than expected next year.
The Washington-based lender, one of a trio overseeing Dublin's 85 billion euro ($112 billion) bailout, said Ireland had so far shown "steadfast policy implementation" with the conditions of its loan program, despite slower growth this year.
The IMF's board agreed on Monday to disburse $1.2 billion of aid to Ireland after the country complied with the conditions of its bailout, bringing the total given so far to $25 billion. Ireland was the second euro zone country to be bailed out by the IMF, after Greece.
David Lipton, the IMF's first deputy managing director, said Dublin had met all targets so far in its two-year-old bailout program.
But the IMF projected the country's growth would slow to 1.1 percent in 2013, and 2.2 percent in 2014, making it more difficult for the government to meet debt-to-GDP (gross domestic product) targets. This ratio, which reflects the sustainability of debt, is expected to peak at 122 percent in 2013.
"If next year's growth were to disappoint, any additional fiscal consolidation should be deferred to 2015 to protect the recovery," Lipton said in a statement.
Ireland's studious application of its austerity plan - which still has at least three years to run - has so far impressed investors and helped push down yields on its government bonds.
But the IMF said Ireland faced risks down the road from a slowdown in its trading partners, high private debts, banks' limited lending, and from its own austerity program.

I have an interesting truck experience to share with you today, dear readers. I took a new friend, who has shown an interest in the truck craze, to lunch. Actually, it is the friend I met at the Nom Nom Truck a while back. I thought it would be fun to show him the truck that started it all, Kogi, and then to wander down the street and try one of their wannabes, the Bool BBQ Truck. A taste test, if you will. The Pepsi Challenge of trucks! Plus, I had been to Kogi already and needed an excuse to write about this trucksperience. Bringing Bool in seemed perfect.
As I parked in front of the Variety Building on Wilshire I could see my friend standing on top of a wall, reminiscent of Leo, sans Kate, in Titanic. I love a dramatic pose.
Alexander seemed a little anxious that no trucks were parked along that block of Wilshire but I told him not to fret - I had the skinny. So we ambled around the block to the back of the building and lo and behold, Kogi. And even bester, no line!
So I sidled up to the window and asked if they had any specials. Yes. The special was a shot of hot sauce and something else, with a strip of bacon. Huh? Well, okay. Two of those, the sliders and one of each taco, please. "Um, even the tofu?" No, thank you. With two waters, I believe my total was about $18.
As you know, I have covered Kogi's food, so I will only comment on the bizarre "shot" of hot sauce with bacon. I did not know what I was supposed to do with it, so I just dipped my bacon in and chomped away. I did try a sip, but I just couldn't hang. Alexander was impressed with the complexity of the flavors in our food: the tangy, the sweet, and the heat. He did find it a bit on the greasy side which I found to be accurate – unusual for Kogi. He seemed to be a big fan of the slider, and who wouldn't be?
So a bite or two of everything, meeting the adorable Chihuahua, Pixel, a pop into LA Fitness to try to glean a workout by peering, a couple of blocks of a walk and viola! – destination Bool. We had to exert a little discipline as the Dosa truck was next to Bool. I loved the Dosa truck and Alexander, who seems to be excited and distracted by shiny things on the side of the road, was entranced by their colorful décor. But we had a mission.
I ordered a pork and a chicken taco ($1.99 each). I know it's not much but I figured it would be enough for an accurate taste test. The pork was uninspired and very similar to Kogi but without that freshness or that something that Kogi provides. The chicken was interesting, though. It had a sweetness that none of the other food had that day. And while I'm not a sweet in my savory person, it was a sweetness that I appreciated and did not expect. Both tacos had a nice balance in regards to the meat/toppings ratio but were a little messier than Kogi. I didn't much care for the Styrofoam packaging either.
All in all I would say that Bool easily has it over the other competitors but still doesn't quite stack up to Kogi. We had a fun afternoon noodling around mid-Wilshire, eating from trucks - Alexander and I considered the experience a success and both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. That's the point, right?
By the way, everyone - 5 trucks to go!

Ben Davies – Gold Shorts Are Now Exposed To a Price Spike
December 6, 2012
Today Ben Davies spoke with King World News about the shorts now being vulnerable to a price spike in gold. He also discussed surging Chinese demand and supply troubles. But first, here is what the rising star had to say about the action in gold: "I actually think we are in and around the lows now, and the market will continue to stabilize here. The other point would be that the fundamentals behind gold, in terms of mining supply, the cost of extraction, the grade degradation, this is a real issue."
Ben Davies continues:
"You've had the CEO of Barrick saying, effectively, 'gold extraction isn't really economically feasible at these levels. New supply isn't going to come on until at least $3,000 (gold).' So there really isn't the supply. China is a great example of where they've got desperate mining.
In 2011 they had 360 tons of supply….
