Featured Golf Course Review:
|Mendenhall Golf Course -- Mendenhall Golf Course Review
|Review by: Tyler
|This course is not exactly in very good condition. But the bad course conditions make it one of the most challenging courses you'll play. There are alot of what appear to be dried up creeks that have very overgrown shores and if you manage to miss the wide fairways, you'll be looking at one of the most difficult shots in your life. If your visiting Juneau, they provide you with clubs, balls, and tees. This one of the the funnest courses you'll ever play, even with the tough course conditions. I urge you if you have time to play the course, DO IT!!

Review for Workcampne, Litchfield, NH, USA
There are not many organzations that actually help high school students think outside of themselves. WorkcampNE does exactly that. I'd highly recommend attending camp for any high school student that's looking for (or needs!) an authentic experience of helping under-resourced, elderly or disabled members of a community.
Role: Volunteer & I served on the board of directors for 3 years, did recruiting for workcampNE and served directly with students for one week each summer.

As we reported back in November, Jose Seijas is coming out of retirement with the launch of Matilde Cigars. His company Matilde Cigars is launching their first cigar this month – the Matilde Renacer.
Seijas is best known for being the Master Blender at Tabacalera de Garcia at Altadis USA. He is known for being a driving force behind such brands as Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, H. Upmann, and VegaFina. He retired from Altadis in January, 2012 and shortly afterwards, he was elected to Cigar Aficionado's Hall of Fame.
After his retirement, Seijas and his son Ricardo founded a new factory called Tabacalera La Matilde, where his new company's cigars are produced. The blends that will be coming out of this factory are described as "limited production" allowing him to use more limited tobaccos while employing strict quality control standards.
In a statement as a part of a press release, Seijas said: "We believe in quality over quantity. Our master cigar makers are remunerated on quality, assuring they take their time to create a masterpiece with every cigar they make. We are not doing this to produce everyday smokes, if the cigar is not going to be memorable we simply won't make it."

Don Drummond: What I learned about planning
Economist Don Drummond on what he learned in 2012
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The Star asked some prominent people what they learned in 2012.
There's something about chairing a commission on the reform of Ontario's public services that crystallizes the mind. Apparently.
In the midst of setting deficit projections and spending recommendations for the provincial government this year, Don Drummond made a key observation: "Almost every time a program was performing badly I could trace it back to the origin of the program. Whoever had implemented it had not really thought long and hard about what they wanted."
Result: dissatisfaction.
This bolt-of-lightning moment offered up a life lesson. "It struck me that usually when I end up in a position that I'm not very happy with, I didn't think about it in advance. You sort of drift into something and realize at the end of it that wasn't really what you wanted."
Being a lifelong economist, Drummond examined the percentages — he regrets about 50 per cent of his work commitments, after the fact — and correlations: "All those things I don't want to do offer a lot of money and all the things I do want to do don't offer any money."
Such is life.
As a plan of action for 2013 and beyond, Drummond intends to focus on those initiatives about which he feels passionate. A second conference on education and indigenous peoples is one. Leading a coalition of researchers into a fresh investigation of Canada's slack productivity is another. And teaching. He loves teaching, which, he notes, is "about the worst economic proposition."
What has to go: the endless string of speaking engagements — 60 presentations in the months of April, May and June. "Supply does create its own demand," he notes dryly. "It just kind of spun out of control."

Yahoo! SiteBuilder2.8.9
editor's review
36 comments
Creating a website is not a task for professionals anymore because there are so many software solutions out there that almost anyone can do it. This is the case of Yahoo! SiteBuilder, an application that comes to help its users design websites on the go.
Of course, you shouldn't expect to build amazing webpages or very complex projects in Yahoo! SiteBuilder, but in case you're looking for a simple company website, this is probably the right tool.
Using the application is pretty easy if you know a thing or two about webpage design, but the developer tries to target beginners by providing an advanced wizard that guides you through the whole process.
What's more important is that the application also comes with a lot of built-in templates, so you will once again be guided as you advance with your website project. These samples can be easily customized and saved as new templates so you can use or share them with other users.
Yahoo! SiteBuilder allows you to insert photos, create new buttons, add wallpapers or sounds, design animations, draw tables, add page effects or PayPal buttons, create forms and write your own text with just a few clicks.
The program has a lot much more to give, but it's just up to the user to decide which are the features one needs the most from Yahoo! SiteBuilder. All in all, this is quite a nice way to make your first steps into web design and if everything goes right, you can end up with a pretty nice website after all.

Contractors warn of sector collapse over unpaid gov't dues
By Omar Obeidat - Dec 15,2012 - Last updated at Dec 15,2012
AMMAN – Contractors on Saturday warned that the construction sector may collapse due to unpaid government dues and the sharp drop in output.
President of the Jordan Construction Contractors Association (JCCA) Ahmad Tarawneh said at a press conference yesterday that the government owes local construction companies around JD120 million, noting that the government has pledged to pay its debts, but has not kept its promise.
The Jordan Times tried to contact officials at the Ministry of Finance but they were not available to comment on the issue.
Tarawneh blamed the sharp contraction in the sector on financial difficulties caused by the government's delay in paying its financial obligations to developers.
Elaborating on the sharp drop in the sector's activity, the JCCA head said that the value of construction projects this year was down by 96 per cent compared to 2009.
The value of projects carried out by local contractors this year stood at JD150 million, while in 2009 it reached JD3.6 billion, he noted.
"These factors may push many firms to lay off their employees," Tarawneh warned, noting that there were 2,223 registered contractors in the Kingdom employing over 100,000 people.
Over the past three years, construction firms have been critical of budget planners for allocating less than JD1 billion in capital spending each fiscal year, a figure they say is not enough to revive the industry and the economy.
Contractors are considering taking certain measures to pressure authorities into paying their debts, Tarawneh said, adding that among these steps is to demonstrate outside the finance ministry until their demands are met.
"The association has exhausted all efforts to push the government to pay its debts but to no avail," he noted, criticising the government for not allocating any funds in the JD807 million budget supplement that was added to the 2012 state spending bill in late October.
"The government did not make allocations for the sector in the supplement in order to show fake figures and unreal surpluses," Tarawneh charged.
The JD120 million government dues to contractors include JD60 million owed by the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, JD50 million by the Ministry of Water and Irrigation and JD10 million owed by several other ministries and departments.
Related Articles
Delays in the payment of the government's outstanding dues to local contractors is causing financial problems for several firms, which are considering laying off staff, according to the construction sector's top representative.
The government's 2013 budget which envisages a 76 per cent increase in capital expenditure has failed to cheer up contractors.
The government will pay all outstanding dues for local contractors after the endorsement of the 2011 budget supplement, a senior official said on Thursday.

Noble Energy agrees to sell Tamar gas to multiple customers in Jordan
Noble Energy announced the signing of a gas sales agreement between NBL Eastern Mediterranean Marketing, the Arab Potash Company, and the Jordan Bromine Company, both of which are located in Amman, Jordan. Under terms of the agreement, Noble Energy will supply natural gas from the Tamar field, offshore Israel, to Arab Potash and Jordan Bromine for use in their facilities near the Dead Sea. Natural gas sales are anticipated to commence in 2016, once minimal required pipeline infrastructure has been completed. The agreement is for an initial term of 15 years and a total gross contract quantity of approximately 66 billion cubic feet of natural gas. The price for the natural gas sold will be based on a floor price of at least $6.50 per thousand cubic feet of natural gas with upside linked to Brent crude oil prices. Gross revenues are estimated at $500M, with actual sales dependent on final purchased quantities and oil prices at the time of sale. Finalization of the purchase and sales agreement is subject to necessary and customary conditions and regulatory approvals.

After almost 14 years of motherhood, I still grapple with the truth of this brutally honest fact. There's no walking away when things get tough. There's no resigning to look for another job, one that pays better or appreciates your worth. There's usually no gratitude for all the sheer, dogged hard work you put in on a daily (and often nightly) basis. And sometimes there's no one around to de-brief with when you've reached your limit and have resorted to screaming to make yourself heard!

The paediatrician smiled kindly at me. "We're hoping you'll be able to tell us," she said. I stared at her, unable or unwilling to comprehend. Surely this wasn't her answer to my question of how we help our daughter, Tallulah, with her now officially diagnosed condition of Autism...
Nourish yourself or your loved one
Being a parent
is a bit like riding an express train, don't you think?
Hurtling from one day to the next, sometimes it feels like time just rushes by.
Parenting can be exhilarating, joyful, bittersweet, maddening or exhausting – sometimes a combination of all these emotions in one day! And then our babies leave home, flee the nest… it can be devastating, a blessed relief or both!
Parenting can also erode our sense of ourselves as creative people. Although a labour of love, raising children can be monotonous and isolating,
...that's why we all need to express ourselves.
Parenting Express gives a voice to parents and others who care for children. If you write creative nonfiction, poetry or fiction about your experiences of giving birth and the challenges and rewards of raising the next generation, we want to hear from you.

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's WeeklyThis cuisine is as haute as the location of the restaurant complex known as Windows on the World, situated at the top of Manhattan's World Trade Center. Delicate portions of such fare as scallop of salmon with soy beurre blanc and azuki sprouts, and sauteed Hudson Valley duck liver with truffles, exquisitely presented in color photos, will delight the gourmet. Zraly, wine director of Windows on the World, which stores 60,000 bottles on its premises, guides the reader through the intricacies of wine selection with refreshingly down-to-earth humor. His Ten Commandments of Wine and Food include: ``Thou shalt not take out a second mortgage on thy home to enjoy a good bottle of wine.'' The graphics are as fresh and light as the food, with New Yorker cartoons added for spice. Executive chef Reiner, who inflexibly uses ounces and pounds rather than cups and tablespoons (``Every serious cook has a food scale at home'') may have a point: only serious cooks will attempt many of these dishes; others may prefer to make reservations at Windows. (April 5)

Consider these factors when evaluating your Facebook reports.
Is your "daily fan" count report from Facebook Insights not matching with the one given by your vendor? How do we pay the vendor (for "cost per fan" deals) if the two numbers don't match? How do you differentiate between paid and organic fans coming from mobile?
If you are wondering or have not yet figured out the reasons, the following points could answer your questions. Always consider these points when looking at Facebook Insights and comparing it with vendor reports:
1. Facebook Page Insights are in Pacific Standard Time (PST), Ad insights or vendor reports are in the time zone of wherever the ad account is created. The likes on ad insights take into account any likes that happened in the 24-hour period after seeing the ad - i.e., If I see the ad at 9 p.m. on the 24th, but visit and like the page on the 25th. This would count for the 24th in ad insights (vendor report) and the 25th in page insights.
2. Over the duration of the campaign, the two reports should be similar but may never match. Hence, you need to stick to the vendor reports. Should you need to verify those reports, request a login from the vendors and check the reports for authenticity.
3. Different tracking methods used by either party could also lead to different numbers. Here is an illustration of the above points with dummy data. The column marked in "blue" shows the difference in the fan count from two different reports (vendor vs. Facebook).
If you are paying the vendor on a "per like" basis, mismatch of report can really be a huge cause of concern. Knowing the working of the Facebook system and your vendor system can really help you minimize the friction points.
4. If you are targeting mobile as part of your campaign, any ad which appears on mobile will be counted in the mobile section on page insights (will not come under ads and Sponsored Stories) but will get included in the ad insights report. So if you want to get bifurcation of fans from "mobile" and fans from "desktop," it is recommended to set up the campaign in that fashion only.
5. If you are focused on fans, and are using different ad types simultaneously - Like Ads, Sponsored Stories, etc. - and want to know fans generated from each type of ad, the solution again lies in setting up the campaign accordingly so that you end up with maximum data.
Knowing these points can really help to put your campaign evaluation in the right perspective. If you are still not sure and are not satisfied with vendor answer, it is recommended to confirm with Facebook directly.

Latest Activity: Played Build Communism! (Aug 20, 2015 2:37pm)
Points needed for next level: 107 Level
"When you are going about any action, remind yourself what nature the action is. If you are going to bathe, picture to yourself the things which usually happen in the bath: some people splash the water, some push, some use abusive language, and others steal. Thus you will more safely go about this action if you say to yourself, 'I will now go bathe, and keep my own mind in a state conformable to nature.' And in the same manner with regard to every other action. For thus, if any hindrance arises in bathing, you will have it ready to say, 'It was not only to bathe that I desired, but to keep my mind in a state conformable to nature; and I will not keep it if I am bothered at things that happen.'"

Zurich - FIFA says that disgraced former vice president Jack Warner peddled "inaccuracies and falsehoods" when he claimed last month that he got World Cup television rights for $1 in exchange for supporting Sepp Blatter's presidential campaigns.
FIFA confirms that Warner received Caribbean broadcasting rights for $1, though from 1986 and not — as Warner claimed — from 1998 when Blatter was first elected.
FIFA says the deals had "nothing to do" with Blatter's election campaigns.
FIFA says World Cup rights were often sold until 1998 for nominal sums to maximize coverage in developing nations, and provide football bodies with extra revenue from selling on rights to broadcasters.
The governing body says Warner was expected to raise money for the Caribbean Football Union.

text: The Countermeasure's writhing had slowed. Its light flickered bright and then out. Bright and then out. She heard Pham's breath gasp with every darkness. Countermeasure, a savior that was going to kill a million civilizations. And was going to kill the man who triggered it. Almost unthinking, she dodged past the thing, reaching for Pham. But razors upon razors blocked her, raking her arms. Pham was looking up at her. He was trying to say something more. Then the light went out for a final time. From the darkness all around came a hissing sound and a growling, bitter smell that Ravna would never forget.(Thanks Annalee!) 5) The T-800 in Terminator II. After Arnold Schwartzenegger's T-800 helps Sarah and John Connor defeat Robert Patrick's mean T-1000 by blowing it up and knocking it into molten metal, Arnie knows he has to go too. If there's anything left of the T-800, the technology could be used to reconstitute Skynet and bring the badness down on our heads. So Arnie gets Sarah Connor to lower him - slowly - into the molten metal. He gives a thumbs up as he descends to his robo-fondue doom. (Thanks, Annalee!)

This is a topic of interest to me...I have a 1 ounce kit, but have never used more then a bandaid, advil, and some moleskin...do I really need more?
Looks good - I would add a pair of non-latex gloves and some anti-diarrhea meds.As to anymore, if you need anymore you need serious medical attention - you're then dealing with major bleeding or some goofy illness. In Ryan's book, he mentions taking broad-spectrum antibiotics on trips, but these are not so readily available.

Ok, what diarria meds do you recommend (it cannot require a perscription)?cheers
Whatever works for you in normal life - I use some generic pill that has worked for me at home and in the field. I take about 2-4, depending on the length of the trip.
It seems as though y'all dig my new first aid kit, so im gonna start looking for a good anti-diarria meds, and then i will tell y'all what it weighs.cheers
Edited by DaveT on 05/12/2015 16:19:42 MDT.
What is meant by XUL first aid kit is that it weighs so little, that even serios people like Adventure Alan, it's not going to seriosly affect pack weight.For some reason, I have devolped diarria on the first day of some campouts when the day before, at home, i was fine. So, i think diarria meds are going to be a must for me from now on.Why take Leokotape? I am already using the duct tape on trekking poles for blisters, and on the product page it says it's only for blisters! I think i prefer self-adhesive gauze tape, covered with duct tape to keep dirt and such out and to keep it on while hiking.-Evan

>ryan jordan says "anybody still using duct tape is living in the dark ages." And how is that???Duct Tape is extremely useful, it can be used not only for first aid, but repairs, and keeping annoying people shut-up.cheers
"This is a topic of interest to me...I have a 1 ounce kit, but have never used more then a bandaid, advil, and some moleskin...do I really need more?"Not till you get hurt, you don't.Think about hiking out 3 days with a badly sprained ankle/knee and only having 3 Ibuprofens a day. Need sleep, nah, it's over rated.Even RJ has prescription pain meds. How about removing cactus spines? Got a good pair of tweezers and a needle?Think about being 3 days from an exit, spend the few onces, you're worth it.

I am just curious, how do you use Leukotape P Sports Tape (since it is not sterile) on a serios wound?And don't you also need a tincture of Benzoin too?-Evan
Edited by edude on 02/04/2009 22:27:28 MST.
Michael. I agree with you...that's why I have a 1 oz. kit but usually bring my 3.71 ounce kit. Which leads to why I am interested in this thread. I haven't scrutinized over my kit because I haven't really used much out of it. A few years ago I had a guy chop his foot pretty good with an axe while in camp. I ended up taping a feminine napkin (maxipad) to his foot, having him spend the night and then hiking both the packs out. I'm more interested in refining my kit to bring what I will actually use - or what will cover a broader range of injuries...but I totally hear where you are coming from.
"how do you use Leukotape P Sports Tape (since it is not sterile) on a serious wound?"That is something I see missing from lots of kits...sterile gauze. If you carry an Alcohol stove, you could sterilize a rag (bandanna, ripped up tee shirt, etc.) and use that. Problem for me is that I do not have "extra" cloths and try to carry only 2 extra meals worth of fuel. That ain't much. :o I guess I could rip up the ZeoLine undies I have on! ;)Personally, I have 3 3" sterile gauze pads in my kit, but my kit weighs in at 6 oz, including 2 Ace bandages (needed for kneed on extended (+3000') rough descents, 'script pain and antibacterial cream, tweezers, gloves (might have to help someone else who is bleeding) etc.But, I am worth saving.

"I ended up taping a feminine napkin (maxipad) to his foot"That is something even I do NOT have in my kit. LOL
Edited by DaveT on 05/12/2015 16:14:57 MDT.
I'm curious, what are the clothespins for?As far as ibuprofen, I carry enough for the maximum daily dosage for half the duration of the trip. But I never take the stuff for owwies and aches. heh.Mine's not quite as light as yours, but here it is:First Aid kit in Small AloksakAntibiotic, Triple, 1/32 oz 3ea Gauze, 2x2, 8ply 3ea Tape Adherant, Benzoin, Tincture, 2ea Super Glue, 1 tube Antihistamine, Diphenhydramine, 25mg, 4ea Analgesic / Antipyretic, Acetaminophen ,500mg, 5ea Anti-diarrheal, Loperamide, 2mg, 4ea Anti-inflammatory, Ibuprofen, 220mg, 24ea weighs like 1.2 oz, supplies for 7 days.I also have 3 feet of leukotape wrapped around a alcohol bottle, but that's in my toiletries bag.

I was looking for something with coral accents so this fit the bill. Nothing really special about the feel of this throw, I use it to keep my feet warm.
Like the inside of a kangaroo's pouch. But less smelly.
This is the second printed microplush throw we have ordered. It is very soft and beautiful!
I like the soft fabric and the colors of this throw. Looks to be well made.
Not much ! Soft is the only comment. It is all bunched up and sewing is awful. I am using it as a summer tablecloth...............expensive cloth !
Love overstock! I can always count in overstock to provide great products and price. Thank you
I love this throw. It's the perfect size to keep by your favorite chair and snuggle up when you get sleepy; or too cold if the air conditioner is set too low. The coral color print blends perfectly with the decor of my family room. The Microplush fabric feels so good when you wrap yourself in it.
I love these blankets!!! They are soft, warm and cozy. good size
For the price, this is a very soft throw and the color is nice
Looks just like picture. It's very soft and pretty. I personally don't use it and just added as decoration to match the coral throw pillows but it does feel nice.
This soft, fleece blanket matched throw pillows also available from Overstock, the fleece does shed a bit but excellent value for the money.
I bought this in silver-blue as a gift for a beach lover- super cozy throw and big. Going to buy one for myself.
I love the pattern and it looks like a much more expensive item. It looks good thrown over my ottoman. I would definitely recommend this blanket.
This throw is so soft and cozy. No lint balls after washing. I love it.
Everyone that comes over loves this blanket, and I also bought 3 more for gifts for Christmas presents as welll. Blanket is very soft and comfy. I curl up in this blanket when I watch movies at home or to relax.
This blanket is great for a throw over a chair and is warm enough for napping on the couch. It is not very thick- on the thin side, but the material is incerdibily soft! It feels great. this is the second one I have purchased as a gift. It does not look cheap at all, the appearance has a good quality look and feel.

What is the other device?
What is the make and model of the router?
the other device is a pc, and the router is a HUAWEI echolife HG532?
Run console.app and see are any network-related errors being reported. It might be a bonjour issue - I see other posts suggesting that that router is not bonjour-compatible.
Forget the router. plug the network cable directly into the modem and test your speed.
Your issue might be more basic than what i read in previous posts. I had the exact same issue. My Dell laptop was at 10mbps+ when my mac was at 2mbps. The issue is that your Mac will switch network. If it picks a signal from another SWP (unsecured, or one that you have connected to before with a password, like your neighbor's), it might very well connect to it.
Here is the fix:
Click on the internet label on the top right, it will show you what you are connected to, is it your network, or something else ..OR Go to the Apple symbol up in the left corner, select "system preference"., select "network", then select "advanced" in the bottom right corner. A list of preferred network in displayed. I recommend eliminating all networks except yours. To delete other networks, click on it and select the "-" button. Once you have done that, select "ok", then "apply", close all windows.
I just did that a few minutes ago and my internet speed went to the right one.
Good luck, please let me know if this worked.
Note: I ran the speedtest.net with 2 other cellphones and 1 other computer connected and it was fine

Oklahoma City Thunder: Russell Westbrook's 'full game' comes at right time
"We were shooting too many walk-up threes off the screen, and that's what (Memphis) wanted," Westbrook said. "I just looked at film and seen where I can find open ones."
The last two games, he took four threes. He only took two on Saturday night, and he knocked both of them down. That's the kind of picking and choosing that Westbrook must do for the Thunder to be at their best.
"I got on him a few times for passing up shots," Durant said, "but I think he picked and chose his spots very well. He was getting everyone involved and rebounding the basketball, but when we needed baskets, he was aggressive enough to get to the rim and make his pull-up jump shot.
"He just played a full game tonight. A few turnovers here and there … "
Westbrook, who was sitting next to Durant as he spoke to reporters, smirked.
It's true that Westbrook had a few too many turnovers. He finished with seven, but he only had three in the final three quarters. Still, his four turnovers in the first quarter helped the Grizzlies not only stay in the game but also build a double-digit lead.
Thunder coach Scott Brooks said after the game that two of those first-quarter turnovers were on Westbrook but that the other two were the fault of teammates.
"We weren't in the right space," Brooks said. "The court was shrinking while he was attacking. We want to space when he's attacking."
The guys around him got it right, and so did Westbrook.
In the past 30 years, only one player has had a 25-point, 15-assist, 10-rebound performance in a playoff game while shooting at least 60 percent from the floor.
That player?
And for it to happen in a pressure-packed situation like Game 7 makes it even more amazing.
"I don't want to go home," Westbrook said. "You fought too hard to get to this point. We were down, and we fought too hard to put ourselves in position to come back home in front of our fans to let them down."
Rest assured, Russ, this wasn't a letdown, and you were a big reason why.

Are We Rome?: The Fall of an Empire and the Fate of America
By Cullen Murphy '74. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 2007. 262 pp. $24 hardcover.
Reviewed by Fredric L. Cheyette
The Roman Empire may have declined (some historians consider the participle inappropriate) and may also have fallen (though exactly when can be endlessly debated), but, clearly, it has never gone away. On Christmas day in 800, a Frankish warlord named Charles, with the help of the pope, took the title Emperor and Augustus, never mind that there was still a Roman emperor (or at least an empress) in Constantinople. Thereafter, for more than 1,000 years, give or take a few vacancies and interregnums, there were Roman emperors in the West, as well as (until 1453) Greek-speaking emperors in the East. By the 11th century, Western warlords, not satisfied with titles like count or duke, were insisting that their scribes call them "consul." Soon enough, barons—as well as, eventually, kings—were claiming descent from Trojan refugees that Homer and Virgil never knew about, and the lawyers of the king of France (with the help, once again, of the pope) were claiming that the king was "emperor in his kingdom." With ebbs and flows, these imperial fantasies continued into the 19th century and then reappeared in the mid-20th with Hitler's Third Reich and Mussolini's fascist ambitions that sprinkled pseudo-antique statues of emperors around Rome and affixed monumental maps of the ancient empire to a wall near the newly excavated imperial fora.
Meanwhile, 15th-century Florentines rediscovered republican Rome, especially its heroic age as presented by Livy. This tradition—reclaiming the myths of republican morality, pride and heroism for nascent modern republican governments—passed via English gentleman-scholars to our own founding fathers and bred not only the overbearing classical architecture of Washington, D.C., and many state capitols but also the monumental academic history paintings that now gather dust in the storerooms of many museums. Us and Rome: the comparison is a fixture of Western civilization.
Flash forward to the end of the Cold War, with the United States as the only superpower, and with journalists and publicists of all stripes suddenly and astonishingly trumpeting the arrival of the new American empire. "A decade ago," wrote the Harvard historian Charles Maier in 2002, "the concept aroused righteous indignation. How could the United States be compared to Rome—with its conquering legions, its subjugation of peoples, its universalist claims to law and order—or even to Britain, the former ruler of millions of subjects in India, the Middle East and Africa? ... These days ... the bashfulness has ended." Gratia Georgii II et alii.
Cullen Murphy '74 has an ironic sense of humor (well known to the fans who regularly read his bimonthly column in The Atlantic, of which he was, until recently, the managing editor) that happily renders him immune to such trumpeting boastfulness. Instead, in this book, it sends him rooting around the possibilities of the seamy and often hilarious underside of that comparison, with the emphasis not on what was great and heroic in ancient Rome but on what went—and could go—wrong. Murphy's touch is light, but it is supported at every moment by an exceptional amount of research, both in ancient sources and in the very best of modern scholarship. He has done his homework well. (Disclosure statement:
I was Murphy's thesis adviser many years ago, but I claim no credit for either his scholarship or his delightful prose.)
It would take much more space than I am allowed here to mention all the pleasures and surprises the book contains. Murphy ranges over topics as varied as U.S. and Roman attitudes toward foreigners and immigrants, divisions between rich and poor, patronage and influence- peddling and insiders and outsiders of all sorts. The Roman examples are plucked from the reigns of everyone from Octavian to Romulus Augustulus, while the U.S. examples are, appropriately, almost entirely from the reign of Georgius II.
Murphy's method is simple, no different from a medieval stained-glass-window-maker putting scenes from the Old and New Testaments side by side to make a theological point: describe a place, a type of person, a cultural attitude in ancient Rome, then find a contemporary near equivalent. It works almost like magic, and right from the start: Murphy describes the arrival of the emperor Diocletian at some way station, surrounded by his vast entourage, then switches to President George W. Bush's arrival on Air Force One, with an entourage of troops and tanks, "courtiers and cooks, speech doctors and spin doctors," the presidential comitatus.
The technique works in the small, as when, reflecting on all the Roman references in the landscape of Washington, D.C., Murphy muses, "I doubt I'm the only person who has trod the sculpted gardens of the Capitol and been seized with the vision of how the city below might appear as a ruin. ... What calamity could bring the capital to this condition? Earthquake? Pestilence? Pride? The end of air conditioning?" It works in the large as well, as Murphy's description of Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan recalls the Roman camp of Vindolanda near Hadrian's Wall; both camps found a way to make troops at the end of the earth feel at home.

NJ Dems: Christie Pulled ARC Tunnel Numbers 'Out of Thin Air'
A top New Jersey Democrat says he's combed through the hundreds of pages that led Governor Chris Christie to dump the A.R.C. train tunnel under the Hudson River and found no justification for it.
"The documents provided by the governor's own administration fail to provide any justification for the governor's claim of billions in cost overruns on the tunnel project," Assemblyman John Wisniewski, head of the Assembly's Transportation Committee, said in a press release.
Wisniewski got roughly 400 pages of documents on Wednesday from the governor's office through a freedom of information request. The Democrat said that three reports on cost estimates that were included state, "The overall project remains within budget," and repeat that the budget remains at $8.7 billion.

- Forum: Classic Menswear
As weird as this may sound, I'm a firm lover of Polo Ralph Lauren cashemere cable knit sweaters. Anyone ever have any issues with them? They have like 900,000 colors to choose from and you can always get them at a relatively decent price. For me, they are a great bang for the buck.

NYC Marathon Returns Amid Increased Security
NEW YORK -- Geoffrey Mutai sees the scorching fast times put up by his training partners and figures he should be able to match them.
They're doing the same workouts, so he's confident he can put up the same results. When Dennis Kimetto broke the course record at last month's Chicago Marathon, Mutai said, "I was feeling it was me."
Mutai already owns the course record at the New York City Marathon, where he will defend his title Sunday. His goal is to go even faster.
The Kenyan won in New York two years ago in 2 hours, 5 minutes, 6 seconds. That was the last time the NYC Marathon was held, and much has changed since that day Mutai describes as "perfect."
The 2012 race was called off because of the destruction of Superstorm Sandy, but not before the week's events enraged many residents and runners. City and marathon officials initially vowed that the race would go on, and many New Yorkers recoiled at the idea of possibly diverting resources after a natural disaster. The decision to cancel didn't come until a day-and-a-half before the scheduled start time, and by then, many out-of-town entrants had already made their long trips to the city after hearing the earlier assurances.
Then in April, at another major marathon in the Northeast, the scene of cheering fans packed along the race course lost its innocence. Two bombs exploded near the finish line in Boston, killing three people and injuring more than 260.
The increased security Sunday will be most evident near the finish line in Central Park. There will be barricades around the park limiting entry points, bag checks, bomb-sniffing dogs.
More than 47,000 runners are expected at the start of the 43rd running of the NYC Marathon, taking on the 26.2 miles through the five boroughs. A handful will be competing for the $100,000 prize for the men's and women's champions.
Five races within the race to watch:
- Mutai has run the fastest marathon in history, 2:03:02 in Boston in 2011. It didn't count as a world record because the course is too straight and downhill. The official world record was lowered in September to 2:03:23 in Berlin by Wilson Kipsang, who also sometimes trains with Mutai. Two weeks later, Kimetto nearly broke it again when he won Chicago in 2:03:45. New York is a difficult course, unlikely to produce a world record. A windy morning is in the forecast for Sunday, which may also keep Mutai's course record safe.

Comment Re:BTRFS is getting there (Score 1) 269
if he's anything like me, it's virtual machines. i have about 50 virtualbox disk images, about 100 linux containers and since i've enabled deduplication i've become extrely lazy and use duplicity instead of hardlinks for my files. e.g. i have same photos in ~/Pictures/by_occassion/whatshisname_wedding as i have in ~/Pictures/by_date/2013-06. i know it's bad practice but if the FS can deal with it, why not?

Werdum also discusses UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior dos Santos, explaining that a rematch with "Cigano" would be the peak of his career. Photo: Fight! Magazine
Fabricio Werdum
"Watch my fight on February 4th. I'm anxious and very eager to fight. It has been six-months since my last fight. So, watch this fight because it will be a great show. I expect a great fight against Roy Nelson. … I can visualize my next three fights. I think I'll fight now against Roy Nelson, then one more fight, and then I'll get a title shot. I see a rematch against Junior dos Santos. It would be the peak of my career to be able to fight a guy who knocked me out, the champion – undefeated in the UFC. He has such heavy hands, "Cigano" showed the world that he's a true champion, and I would love to fight for the title against him. I see myself submitting "Cigano" on the ground."
