How do I do the following with std::cout?
double my_double = 42.0;
char str[12];
printf_s("%11.6lf", my_double); // Prints " 42.000000"
I am just about ready to give up and use sprintf_s.
More generally, where can I find a reference on std::ostream formatting that lists everything in one place, rather than spreading it all out in a long tutorial?

Forgot to update on this. I ended up in the cast until the 11th Feb, around 5.5/6 months.
Took a few weeks to get more than 20 degrees of movement back (was completely seized and unable to move for several days!), and a few months later I had a fair bit of movement, and was getting some muscle back (although I still had to take it easy). 14 months after breaking it (10 months after surgery) it feels pretty much normal, it's felt good for the past 2/3 months really.
I would emphasise that the deep tissue massage really is necessary. I felt quite queasy doing it at first with it being on my inner wrist, but you get used to it, and after having another small injury which ended up with my finger tendon joined to my skin by scar tissue I can safely say I'm glad nothing like this has happened with the wrist!
I didnt really listen to the physio for the strength exercises, and instead just made sure that I was using it in a suitable way to build the muscle- no complaints from this.
Did some rock climbing the other day, and have been xc riding for a few months, just getting back on the dh trails. Happy days!

The ever so dreaded Captain Snibly had a growing dislike for the the Spanish governor, Senor Raul Pablo. It all started when the governor bought the last high quality wig(the wig Captain Snibly had been robbing every ship, so that he could save enough money to buy it) So Captain Snibly formed the most ruthless crew of pirates in all the Spanish Main. There mission: attack the governor's mansion and retrieve the wig at all costs. Of course he also told them to take any other valuables the governor might have. And now the battle is ON!!

Soon to be on display at the newly-constructed Ford's Theatre Center for Education and Leadership in Washington, DC, this 34-foot pillar of literature includes over 15,000 unique titles about the United State's 16th president, Abraham Lincoln.

Today I had the pleasure of skyping with a Civil War class at Marquette University High School in Milwaukee. Chris Lese and his class have made good use of my blog over the past few weeks so I offered to spend some time with his students to field questions. In addition to utilizing the blog the class has read a chapter from David Blight's book, Beyond the Battlefield: Race, Memory and the American Civil War and they are making their way through a critical evaluation of Ken Burns's Civil War documentary. It's always nice to see high school kids engaged in serious study of American history and it made for an entertaining and informative 45 minutes. I am planning on visiting with this class in person during my trip to Milwaukee in April for the annual meeting of the Organization of American Historians.
While everyone else is anticipating a vampire slaying Lincoln, I give you Mel Gibson in "The Colonel".
"[T]he enemy of Civil War history is everything people think they know about the conflict." — Ed Ayers.
Thanks to everyone for the emails and comments about my most recent op-ed in the New York Times Disunion column. Yesterday I took some time to catch up on some old posts. What I value most about the Disunion site is its continued emphasis on introducing top-notch scholarship to a broad general audience. Anyone who follows this column from its beginning through to 2015 will surely walk away with a firm grounding in Civil War history. A few readers have suggested that the best articles ought to be collected in book form or in some other format and I couldn't agree more. They make for ideal high school level readings.
One of the best reasons as to why this site is so important can be found in William Thomas's recent essay on how Southern railroads utilized slave labor. I've mentioned Will's book, The Iron Way: Railroads, the Civil War, and the Making of Modern America, a number of times and even included it in my "best of 2011" list. Thomas's research expands our understanding of how slave labor was utilized beyond the fields, its profitability, and its place within Americans' understanding of their own exceptional place on the world stage. In short, it reminds us of why revisionist history is so important to our understanding of the past. Consider the following responses from a few readers:
In addition to the ownership by corporations, which I knew but had no idea it was apparently so extensive, it is astonishing (and appalling) that slaves could be used as collateral for loans. Thanks for another interesting and informative article in this series.
Wow, mention of corporation-owned slaves is just not in our school textbooks. How was their existance different than the agricultural/farm slaves? The Ballton's experience would make for a fascinating film. truth can be stranger than fiction.
Wait a minute, does this mean that a substantial percentage of slaves were owned by corporations? All my life I have never heard of slaves owned by anyone but individuals. By families. What was it like to be owned by a corporation? Were the enslaved on average treated the same, better, or worse? Are there any corporate equivalents to the stories of slaves who chose to take care of their owners possessions when Union troops appeared?
I love the sense of surprise that comes through in their responses. For most people history is made up of a set of stories, some of which are more closely guarded than others or are more popular within a certain community. Depending on when and how these stories are learned can determine the response to the introduction of new information. In the case of the Civil War era many people want nothing more than to hear the same stories told well. In this case the reaction to new interpretations is often accompanied by a defensive or dismissive posture.
If we can manage to step back, however, from our own personal investment in certain stories we can appreciate and even celebrate the introduction of new information and how it effects our understanding of the past. It has the potential to challenge some of our most deeply engrained assumptions about what happened and why and new questions arise that beg for further research. In this case this brief column forces readers to step away from their popular images of slavery from "Gone With the Wind" or their high school textbooks and further assumptions about the master – slave relationship as well as the future of slavery in 1861. This is revisionist history at its best.

Street photography of London life
Category: Arts & Photography
About the Creator
I am a story teller. I've been telling stories in one medium or another for more than 20 years. I began as a newspaper reporter, moved into radio and television and then wrote short fiction and for the theatre. I first picked up a camera when I was 10 years old. My passion for photography and my skills as a story teller are now combined in my documentary and street photography. My photoblog, Slice of London Life, was born out of a desire to document the city I live in and love and which has been the home of my forebears for generations. You can keep up with my photography of London on the blog: http://sliceoflondonlife.com

Imagine that you have bought your first home and one of itsamenities is a built in ironing board. the base of the ironingboard is hinged to a wall in a cupboard and it lowers from avertical to a horizontal position when you open the cupboard door.Unfortunatly the only support for the board is the hinge, whichlocks in place. You quickly find that the board needs more support,so you want to add legs directly under the center of mass. theweight of the board is stamped on the underside. How would you usecommon household items (like a bathroom scale) to find the centerof mass of the non-uniform ironing board.
Would you just find things to prop it up (like a stool) andthen take the scale and move it around the top of the board untilyou find the spot where its mass is the greatest?

Science More Grist for the Maul
posted by June 30 at 21:15 PMon
Adding more fuel to the Pit Bull Debate '08—continuing today with a delightful tale of a scalping—I present to you data from the latest and greatest paper on the subject: Canine and human factors related to dog bite injuries. Courtesy of your own Elenchos!
Breed is absolutely a factor, as are dogs remaining sexually intact. Like the earlier study I covered on this topic, certain breeds of dogs, particularly if not spayed or neutered are vastly more likely to bite to the point of harming a person than others. Specifically?
Terriers, the broad family that includes pit bulls, tops the list in this case-control study.
Breed mattering is another way of saying genes matter. If you artificially select dogs to be violent, they'll be violent. Combine breeding for violent temper with breeding for strong jaw muscles and large size and you have an unwelcome combination. It's also worth noting that breeding for a dog the size and shape of a terrier does not require breeding for bad and uncontrollable temper.
To insist on having a badly tempered, strongly muscled large dog as a pet is like insisting on the right to drive a backhoe to work each day. Yes, if you as the owner act perfectly, most likely nobody will get hurt; there just isn't much room for error.
Yes, pit bulls can be sweet, kind, gentle dogs. Can be. The breed has been mis-selected so long, it's understandable for a stranger to assume your pit bull is capable of injurious violence; the data backs up his or her suspicions.
If we're banning anything, I'd like to see a ban on selection for violent tempers in dogs—regardless of breed. And I recognize it's about as likely to succeed as a pit bull ban.

text: In a St. Joseph Healthscene report, the overall cost of drugs for type 2 diabetes almost doubled between 2001 and 2007. The new drugs pushing the rise in costs are often being used as an alternative to insulin. But a new study has found there's no evidence the new medications improve care. Experts say more studies are needed to find out out whether these new therapies are worth the extra cost.

Blame Michelin for that. All the drivers wanted to race and risk it. Michelin should have been booted out this season. Those cars could have run the race, only slower because of Michelins stupidity of not wanting to lose because of choosing the wrong tires.

As tensions run high, Arab workers pay the price
As a result of the latest round of violence, Arab workers are becoming subject to harassment, boycotts, and arbitrary dismissals. By Maha Shehade Switat These are days when calling for the boycott Arab workers and "expelling" them from their workplace is received with open arms. These are days when cities refuse Arab workers entry into schools during school hours. Days when Arab workers go through security checks on their way to work for the sake of public safety.

Re: Questions regarding FICO Score and FICO 2008
To add....there are different versions of FICO scores out there and there are different versions created for each CRA. For example, for TU, there's TU98, TU04, and TU08. Specifically, they are called FICO Risk Score...Classic 98, Classic 04, and Classic 08 I believe. Then there's Experian and the versions are called Fair Isaac Risk Model v2, v3? and so on. Then there's Beacon 5.0, Beacon 9.0 (FICO 08) for EQ and so on. And to complicate things, there are non-Classic FICO scores like industry enhanced scores (e.g. mortgage-enhanced, auto-enhanced, etc.) that score more heavily on one industry like cars or mortgages. Finally, there are other non-Classic scores like NextGen scores (e.g. Alliant CU uses it or USAA uses it for one of the 3 CRAs in their mortgage lending). Even though FICO 08 is available for any lender to use, virtually none of them are using them. In fact, most lenders are using a 2005 EQ version (Beacon 5.0...just like on myFICO). Most recently started using TU04 for TU (myFICO still uses TU98...as do some lenders still). And many lenders are still using an EX FICO version that is approaching 10 years old. Most tend to stick with what works I guess and are slow to adopt the new flavors (er, um versions).

NEW YORK (November 1, 2013) Kanye West has postponed the rest of his "Yeezus" tour after a 60-foot LED screen he uses during his shows was damaged.
A representative of the rapper says a truck carrying the video screen was involved in an accident on Wednesday that left the screen "beyond repair."
At the time of the accident, the truck was on its way to Vancouver, Canada where West was to have performed Thursday night.
That show was canceled, as were next week's shows in Denver and Minneapolis.
There was no immediate word on when those shows will be rescheduled.
The big screens are as much a part of a concert these days as the mics, band and bootleg T-shirts.
West's representative said it would be "impossible" for the rapper to put on a show until the screen is repaired or replaced.

How should I run one program from within another in Windows? And why is

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
Spawning a child process is a very operating system dependent procedure. The system() in stdlib.h was designed with a Unix environment in mind and is not thread safe. Using system() will work in any C environment but the result is rigidly not defined. Also when using system() the the parent process has to wait until the child process has exited will will significantly slow down your application.
If you need more control and monitoring there are more sophisticated options. For unix systems there is the fork() function and the exec() functions. For Windows specifically there is the CreateProcess() function.
There is a simple way to run a program from within another. Assuming you want to run HelloWorld.cpp from another program. Just write something like:
(this assumes the program is in the directory you're in.)
Why system() is bad?
Well I don't know if it is bad per se but if you are spawning another process you mostly want to have some kind of control of the process. A call like ShellExecute gives you many more options to fine tune the process and above all get a handle back which you can use for further communication.
If you are doing windows programming (and have no portability requirement) then I would recommend using the WinAPI when you can for best result. e.g. file handling, shared memory etc.
First of all, what you are asking is almost impossible: the way an OS manage processes is one of the things that makes a OS different from another, hence don't expect a single way of doing to work with all the OSs.
Unless you are working with a very basic function like
It is very easy to fool such a command: just let the interpreter find a batch file along it search path with the same name as the program you want to call and it will be executed. Simply anyone, even without touching your code, can make your code to exec whatever he likes without any knowledge from you or your user. A very fantastic hippodrome for Trojan horses! Not something to rely on, especially where security is important.

Pregnancy Symptoms (cont.)
Abdominal Bloating
Some women may experience feelings of abdominal enlargement or bloating, but there is usually only a small amount of weight gain in the first trimester of pregnancy. In this early stage of pregnancy a weight gain of about one pound per month is typical. Sometimes women also experience mild abdominal cramps during the early weeks of pregnancy, which may be similar to the cramps that occur prior to or during the menstrual period.
Morning Sickness (Nausea and Vomiting)
Patient Comments
Nausea and vomiting (morning sickness) also are common in early pregnancy. Traditionally referred to as "morning sickness," the nausea and vomiting associated with early pregnancy can occur at any time of the day or night. Its typical onset is anywhere between the 2nd and 8th weeks of pregnancy. Most women who have morning sickness develop nausea and vomiting about one month after conception, but it may develop sooner in some women. Sometimes women report an increased in sensitivity to certain odors or smells that can sometimes cause nausea and/or vomiting.
Elevations in progesterone that occur early in pregnancy are thought to slow the emptying of the stomach and may be related to the development of nausea. Accompanying the characteristic "morning sickness" may be cravings for, or aversions to, specific foods or even smells. It is not unusual for a pregnant woman to change her dietary preferences, often having no desire to eat previous "favorite" foods, and desiring to eat foods that were previously not preferred. In most women, nausea and vomiting begin to subside by the second trimester of pregnancy.

Man denies threats to coffee company workers
BARRE The Swanton man accused of threatening to shoot everybody at a Green Mountain Coffee Roasters facility in Waterbury pleaded not guilty Thursday.
Alexander J. Garrison, 41, is facing a felony charge of creating a false alarm. If convicted, he faces a maximum of five years in jail and a $10,000 fine. The charge is normally a misdemeanor, but since it would be Garrisons second offense, the charge is elevated to a felony.
According to the police affidavit, Waterbury police were contacted by employees at a call center for the coffee company saying a man had threatened to go to their location and shoot people. The center is directly behind the police station, on Foundry Street.
Police said Garrison called the center and told a receptionist he was upset he was not given a job and then made the threats. Police said they tracked the phone number that was used back to Garrison and called him. He told them he hadnt made any threats because he knew better from getting in trouble for something similar in the past, police said. Garrison told police he had called looking for directions to the companys outlet store.
Police said Garrison had been working as a temporary employee at the companys plant in Essex at the time of the incident in December. The call resulted in the company going into lockdown, and heightened security remained in effect five days later. The company also temporarily closed an outlet store and a visitor center in Waterbury. WCAX-TV reported that the threat was considered elevated because the outgoing CEO of the company, Larry Blanford, and his replacement, Brian Kelley, were in Waterbury at the time of the call.
Garrison was convicted of making a false alarm in 2007, when police say he made a bomb threat against a different company he was working for in Windsor County.
A search of Garrisons residence in December turned up an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, a .22-caliber long rifle and a hunting rifle, police said, but no weapons were found on him when he was taken into custody.
The police affidavit says that on the day of the incident Garrison called the company five times. One of the phone calls came after police had initially called him and he wanted to complain about the company having no right to give out my personal information, police said. The final time Garrison called he asked for an employee by name and wanted to know her schedule, police said.
Garrison was taken into custody by the Department of Corrections the day of the calls to resume serving a sentence for a felony embezzlement charge from 2009.
He also has four convictions for credit card fraud in 2011. He is being held on $5,000 bail.

Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Metabolic profiles of severely sick patients could be used to predict their risk of death in the intensive care unit (ICU). That's according to new data being presented at the American Thoracic Society's annual meeting held in Philadelphia this week.
Brigham and Women's Hospital/Harvard Medical School's Angela J. Rogers, M.D., and her colleagues show in a study involving 90 ICU patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis, or sepsis/acute respiratory distress syndrome that the 30 who died before day 28 differentially expressed 59 metabolites, compared with survivors.
Dr. Rogers and her team later found that 34 of those metabolites were associated with death in a second cohort of 150 patients with sepsis.
Then, using statistics to create a predictive model, the researchers identified a network including four metabolites—sucrose, methionine, beta-hydroxyisovalerate amino acids, and mannose from the carbohydrate pathway and arginine—that were closely associated with mortality in both populations studied.
"Because these results replicate well in two populations, it suggests that measuring plasma metabolites may be an important tool for identifying patients at highest risk for death in the ICU," Dr. Rogers said in a statement.

The Progressive Revolution: How the Best in America Came to Be
by Michael Lux
27 used & new
3.0 out of 5 stars
Good Points, Poorly Argued
Aug. 6 2009
This review is from:
The Progressive Revolution: How the Best in America Came to Be (Hardcover)
First off, I'd like to say that I consider myself a progressive, a product of having been born and raised in Canada. Therefore, it is easy for me to relate to and agree with most of Mike Lux's central argument, that America -- indeed the world -- is a better place because of progressivism.
The entire notion of progressivism, comes from the idea of 'progress' -- structural reform based on principles of human rights both civil and political. It is Lux's contention that American history is one long battle between the forces of conservatism and progressivism. "The Progressive Revolution" is therefore an exploration of that history according to Lux. Furthermore, Lux argues that the greatest of America's achievements have been the result of progressivism, such as the American Revolution, the victory of the North in the Civil War, the Civil Rights movement.
Where the book takes a wrong turn is mostly in the many contradictions of his supporting evidence and manipulation of historical data. The most glaring manipulation is when Lux claims that WWII did not end the Great Depression because unemployment dropped before the U.S. entered the war in 1942, but what he doesn't tell you is that if you look at the data closely, U.S. wartime production actually started ratcheting up as early as 1939 and unemployment started dropping from 1939 onwards.
The many contradictions: Alexander Hamilton is vilified by Lux for his advocacy of a strong federal government and specifically the creation of a central bank. Yet after all, it was Woodrow Wilson, the progressive era President, who created what we know now as the Federal Reserve, the mother of all central banks. According to Lux, the railroad and the interstate highway system rank as one of America's greatest achievements, yet they facilitated the robber barons and contributed to the environmental disaster we face today in global warming. Lux's polemic against conservatives for creating unnecessary wars is incredibly hypocritical considering Wilson in WWI and LBJ in Vietnam.
Perhaps most disappointing is that for a book about progressivism, Lux spends surprisingly little time on the actual progressive era and glosses over some of the major changes introduced. The Sherman and later the Clayton Antitrust Act were critical to the progressive reforms. Tragically, Lux barely mentions John Dewey and the progressive movement in public education. Finally, the Scopes trial is curiously omitted altogether, maybe because the discrediting of progressive reformer William Jennings Bryan would have introduced too many complications into Lux's simplified narrative. Additionally, can the full history of American progressivism be told without discussing Roe v. Wade, gay rights, and gun control?? Lux seems to think so.
Finally, Lux also deals heavily in counterfactuals and hypotheticals. He holds up the example of Thomas Jefferson, founding father, as one of the great 'progressives' in American history which no one questions. However, one of Jefferson's fundamental beliefs was in limiting the role of government and a staunch supporter of State rights. Lux claims that if Jefferson had lived to the Civil War and beyond, he would not have approved of Laissez-faire and would have advocated for a stronger role of government. If Jefferson was involved in the writing of the Constitution, he would have ended slavery right there. What ifs, hypotheticals, that is what the debate has come to?
Overall, I would have to say that I was extremely disappointed in how Lux decided to organize his book and his arguments. Instead of trying to fit the entire arc of American history into a progressive prism, he should have focused on fewer events with more depth to relate them to contemporary movements.

This is my first China Miéville book but it's safe to say it won't be my last. The basic premise of this Sci-Fi mystery is the existence of 2 cities superimposed on one another in such a way that those who live in one city must not "see" those who live in the other city. The plot follows a detective who is investigating a murder which leads into contact with the omnipresent Breach who patrol the boundaries of cities and the complex network of the underworld -- people who believe in a third city existing between the 2 cities, unificationists, and various other unsavory characters.
There is not question that Miéville's imagination is superb. The book and story remind me of other futuristic type movies like Blade Runner or Minority Report. It has the same intelligent design and innovations. It definitely could be made into a movie which would really bring to life the 2 cities. As a story though, I did feel that parts of the book were repetitious and laborious to get through, especially in the latter third of the book.
Overall, "The City and The City" is a good read for anyone who is into mysteries or Sci-Fi thrillers.

Struggle For Radical Change

This review is from:
Red & Black in Haiti: Radicalism, Conflict, and Political Change, 1934-1957 (Hardcover)
In this academic study, Matthew J. Smith explores the historical processes that shaped post-occupation Haiti up until the prolonged Duvalier dictatorship. According to Smith, this period is traditionally thought of as an interregnum between the 2 dominant periods in Haiti's history, but as Smith shows, much of the ideological movements were developed in this formative period.
The central argument of the book is that the struggle of radicals during this period transformed the political culture of Haiti. Anyone who knows anything about Haiti can come to appreciate the complex nature of social relations, the intersection of ideologies in race, class, anti-imperialism, and populism. The story of this struggle for power in Haiti foreshadows what happened to many other Caribbean nations.
While I found the book and Smith's research quite fascinating, I must admit that for the neophyte to Haitian history, many of the particularities were a little above my head. Given my limited knowledge on ideas like noirisme, I was unable to fully grasp the significance of parts of Smith's conclusions, which is unfortunate for me anyways.
Overall, I would recommend "Red & Black in Haiti" for anyone who wants to learn more about this important period in Haitian history, but certainly the book is not of a beginner level, some background knowledge is required to fully absorb the author's arguments.

A Safe Haven: Harry S. Truman and the Founding of Israel (Hardcover)
The formation of the state of Israel is one of the most remarkable narratives in the history of the 20th century. There are no "good" guys and "bad" guys here, but rather a series of complex web of networks and interests which resulted in a most improbable outcome. I think given the politics of today, it was a given that the U.S. would be the first to recognize the state of Israel, but as Radosh shows, that was clearly not so.
The central thesis of the book is to show how President Harry S. Truman came around to becoming the first leader to officially recognize Israel as a nation-state, without which Israel would probably not have survived according to Radosh. American policies towards the issue of Palestine had always been ambivalent going all the way back to FDR.
One of the central questions of the immediate postwar period centered around the issue of the Jewish DPs. It was estimated some quarter of a million Jewish refugees -- survivors of Hitler's "Final Solution" -- wanted to leave Europe, but to where? According to Radosh, the majority wanted to go to Palestine. This is disputable as many scholars claim the majority wanted to join relatives in the U.S. Regardless, the U.S. had not liberalized their immigration quotas yet and a strong nativist sentiment still existed at the time, which made mass resettlement to Palestine the prime solution. Problem, was that the British colonial administration stuck to its policy of limiting Jewish immigration into Palestine, going back to the pre-war White Paper, influenced by the Arab majority.
With the British government insolvent, they turned over administration of Palestine to the newly created United Nations who decided that given the tensions between the Jews and Arabs, a 2-state solution should be implemented, UN resolution 181. After the last British troops withdrew, the Jews proclaimed their nation-state, their Arab neighbors attacked, but the Jews not only survived by resoundingly defeated the Arabs.
Truman's role in all of this? Succumbing to intense pressure from lobby groups like the Jewish Agency and personal relationships with influential Jews like Chaim Weizmann and Rabbi Wise, Truman adopted the 2-state solution and was the first leader to officially recognize Israel. Also crucial was the fact that he did not intervene militarily to enforce the U.N. partition plan after Israel won the war and occupied more land than they were initially allocated.
While Radosh is not able to conclusively show exactly why Truman acted as he did, it appears from the evidence provided that he did so more out of political motivations -- votes and the Cold War -- than out of any ideological stance on Zionism. It was important to secure as much Jewish support in the 1948 elections and to beat the Soviets to the punch in recognizing Israel, more so than any personal convictions.
We all know how the story eventually turns out, a miracle for the Jewish diaspora, and a nightmare for Palestinian Arabs. There is a heavy tinge of irony in reading this history given that it is now the Jews who seek to maintain the status quo by opposing UN resolution 181 advocating for a 2-state solution, refusing to receive the Palestinian-Arab refugees, and fighting Palestinian-Arab terrorists. Not so much a holy war but a battle over a tiny strip of land.
One of the most interesting tidbits I found was the contention raised by Radosh that many Americans supported a Jewish state through the analogous comparison of America's Manifest Destiny to settle the west. Indeed, FDR asked TVA man David E. Lilienthal whether Palestine could be transformed into an agricultural breadbasket through industrial modernization. Something definitely to be researched further.
Overall, I think this is an important and well-researched book with incredible relevance to the current situation. It is only by understanding the history that we can begin to comprehend the real problems of the present and formulate suitable solutions for the future.

What Reagan Knew that Everyone Else Didn't
July 29 2009
This review is from:
Rebellion Of Ronald Reagan, The (Hardcover)
While arguing for a more nuanced interpretation of both Ronald Reagan the President and his role in the collapse of the Soviet Union, James Mann attempts to show that while Reagan was not the central figure in ending the Cold War but allowed Gorbachev the political space to reform the Soviet system.
The so-called "rebellion" wasn't so much as stated but more like a deviation from the anti-communist right who saw Gorbachev as just another iron-fisted Soviet ruler intent on crushing the capitalist west. Reagan started out from the same stance, but steadily moved to a middle position. Mann seems to put a large emphasis on the role of Suzanne Massie for Reagan's shift on Soviet policy but a more likely explanation was the many tete-a-tete meetings the Reagans had with the Gorbachevs.
One point that would seem to contradict Mann's central argument was the "tear down this wall" speech, of which Mann spends a great deal of time explaining. First off, Gorbachev's reforms of Glasnost and Perestroika had been initiated before Reagan's Berlin speech, therefore any linkage between the 2 does not fit the chronology. Second, the speech was mostly received by the Soviet bloc as a provocation, a dare, if so, how does this advance Mann's thesis that Reagan allowed for political deference to Gorbachev?
Mann generally does a good job covering the many summits between the two leaders and the discussions over arms reduction and missile-defense, the so-called Star Wars program (SDI). However, Mann fails to mention 2 points. The desire to reduce medium-range missiles was due to the fact that they were no long tactically necessary. With the advent of inter-continental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), the U.S. could launch missiles from the continental U.S. and reach Russia, and vice-versa. Thus, the primary reason the war hawks were so intent on keeping the medium-range missiles was to protect the military-industrial-complex and maintain the defense budget -- any reduction would mean decreased production and therefore decreased profits for defense corporations -- and not because of any ideological anti-communist bent. The reason why Gorbachev and the USSR were so adamant on halting SDI was because it would prevent second-strike retaliation capability, fundamentally altering the balance of power to the U.S., a minor or major point (depending on how you look at it) that Mann neglects to mention.
And while you may ultimately find that Mann is unable to provide sufficient evidence to indicate exactly how much effect Reagan's political accommodation had if any, Reagan's role in ending the Cold War is best summed up by simply stating that: Reagan empathized with Gorbachev, due to the privileged information about Gorbachev's humanism gained through their several intimate meetings of which the political punditry the likes of Nixon, Kissinger, and George Will were never privy to.
Overall, this is a good book explaining from the American perspective how Reagan's foreign policy was implemented in the final crucial years leading up to the end of the cold war. And while Mann's interpretation does not disclose anything new, his presentation of the facts are clear and concise and can only add to our understanding of one of the most momentous moments in the history of the world.

The Political Worlds of Slavery and Freedom (Hardcover)
In this short essay-driven book, Steven Hahn attempts to debunk several myths about how the Civil War and African-American history is written about and remembered by the collective consciousness of the American public.
The books is divided into three sections. First, Hahn attempts to locate the institution of slavery within the national development of the United States but also in the broader context of European colonization in the western hemisphere. This contextualization helps to nuance our understanding of how slavery developed and adapted given the changing circumstances especially in comparison with the only slave revolution ever recorded in history in Saint Dominique.
The second section develops from the first, and boils down to Hahn's argument that the Civil War should be thought of as a slave rebellion with revolutionary undertones. Hahn argues that traditional historiography has largely suppressed the "agency" of slaves in order to mythologize the narrative to one of the Union North emancipating the slaves. Notwithstanding this obvious paternalism of whites in the North, African-Americans themselves tended to accept this version of history because they preferred to be portrayed as patriotic Americans who sought to live the ideals of American liberty -- rather than a vengeful pack of insurrectionists seeking to overthrow the system.
Finally, Hahn turns his attention to Garvyism -- the post-WWI political mass movement which capitalized on ideas of self-determination, anti-colonialism, and pan-Africanism. While much of Garvyism has focused on Marcus Garvey the man, Hahn instead chooses to focus on the followers of the movement, why they joined, what their motivations were, and how it came to influence much later movements like Black Power and the Panthers of the 70s. Again, Hahn attempts to show why much of the African-American experience has tended to emphasize the ideas and influence of W.E.B. Dubois and Martin Luther King, rather than Marcus Garvey or Malcolm X.
Ultimately, this short book is more about the writing of history and the politics of history more than the actual history itself. Still, Hahn forces us to challenge our own preconceptions of the history we are taught and the supposed facts. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is a student of history.

Updike Will be Missed
July 26 2009
This review is from:
My Father's Tears and Other Stories (Hardcover)
From American novelist and literary critic John Updike, this latest book of short stories, published posthumously, was a joy to read. Like all collections of short stories, some are better than others, but overall I think they reflect well on Updike and his legacy as one of America's most prolific writers.
Unfortunately, I did not find the title short story "My Father's Tears" all that enthralling. But probably my favorite story in the book is "Varieties of Religious Experience". Updike recreates the events surrounding September 11, in a fictional non-fiction sort of way. I was entirely engrossed into the narrative but at the same time it was frighteningly eerie because of course we all know the outcome and the circumstances surrounding the hijackers, and those passengers on United flight 11.
When reading Updike, I think what most readers will immediately notice (at least I did) was his obsession with eroticism -- to such an extent that he challenges our preconceived notions of what is socially acceptable. But fundamentally, Updike explores the complexities of Freudian logic like the oedipus complex to great effect. Certainly, Updike is not for everyone, but the many machinations of the sexual mind are truly fascinating.
I am sure there will be more of Updike's previously unpublished works that will get bundled together in the future. It's just good to read Updike again and "My Father's Tears" will compliment any good Updike collection.

A No Nonsense Explanation

This review is from:
The Housing Boom and Bust (Hardcover)
If you want to learn why this latest economic crisis began explained colloquially in ordinary language, then Thomas Sowell's "The Housing Boom and Bust" is definitely a must read. With an economists acumen combined with the journalists touch, Sowell navigates us through the complex processes involved with the origins and the politics of housing.
I won't go through the details as Sowell's short book does a great job explaining them, but I will highlight what I thought were unique insights into the subprime crisis. Firstly, Sowell explains how certain housing markets like California had certain restrictions like lot-size laws, agricultural and environmental land reserves, which ironically helped accelerate the boom-bust cycle by artificially inflating house prices. As Sowell shows, this was in stark contrast to places like Dallas. This leads into one of Sowell's primary arguments, that government intervention actually led to the crisis through it's crusade for "affordable housing." So instead of removing these developmental restrictions, the government simply sought to force the private sector to make it easier to loan to the so-called 'subprimes' thus making housing more affordable for people with low-incomes.
I think a disclaimer though is in order. Sowell is a conservative, and so therefore his selectivity reflects his political biases. For example, Sowell does not even mention the "structural investment vehicles" like mortgage-backed securities or credit-default swaps which hedge funds used to finance these subprime loans. This unregulated securitization and financial innovations in the mortgage bond market is fundamental in understanding the macroeconomics of the crisis and the international scope. Although, not specifically in the scope of this book, Sowell's omission is rather unfortunate because it does distort the picture. The only other criticism is Sowell's over-emphasis on California while only briefly mentioning Cleveland which is often thought of as the center and origin of the subprime crisis, of which many homeowners were not actually subprime but were manipulated into refinancing or reversing (coincidentally, most were working-class black homeowners).
The book is incredibly relevant in learning about how and why we got to where we are now. I've read many books on this subject and I can say with confidence that Sowell's book is probably the easiest to understand and one of the most transparent. Overall, this is a must read.

This review is from:
The Age of the Unthinkable: Why the New World Disorder Constantly Surprises Us And What We Can Do About It (Hardcover)
I picked up this book after watching Joseph Cooper Ramo on Fareed Zakaria's GPS. He seemed very astute and a keen observer and commentator on current geopolitical events so I took a chance on his book thinking that it would be just as enlightening. I couldn't have been more wrong.
My first major criticism of the book is the reckless use and abuse of history for the purposes of furthering his unoriginal arguments. He completely misrepresents the historical causality of the events leading up to the collapse of the Soviet Union by claiming that Gorbachev was oblivious to the impending collapse and Ramo falsely claims that the CPSU establishement simply flipped sides -- if Ramo had bothered to spend 2 seconds to look up the failed putsch on wikipedia he would've seen how wrong he was. He fundamentally misreads the multiple wars between Israel and Lebanon and his hagiography of Hezbollah is almost criminal. I could go on, but I think you get the point.
My second major criticism is his dismissal of some of the major western philosophies without a whisper of any empirical or reasonable arguments. Instead, Ramo endorses eastern philosophy without so much as a single critical eye whatsoever.
Finally, his analysis and exploration of the "revolutionary" movements and the individuals who inspired them amounts to little more than sensationalist journalism. It is one thing to say that the world is complex, that we need new ways at looking at the world, thinking outside of the box, etc..., and quite another to explain how these exceptional ideas came about. In other words, don't tell us some fluff story about the guy who saved the Internet by geeking it up on a Saturday night with his LAN buddies, or a David and Goliath story of how Nintendo's Wii beat Sony. Tell us about what makes them special, is it biological, is it socio-economic, is it cultural?
I rarely give anything less than 3 stars and this may very well be one of the most disappointing books I have read in over 2 years. I had high expectations going in and have nothing but negative things to say about this book. Save yourself the two hours and skip "The Age of the Unthinkable."

This review is from:
Canada's 1960s: The Ironies of Identity in a Rebellious Era (Paperback)
When we think of Canadian identity today and the major historical events and processes that helped to construct that identity, the 1960s usually registers only tangentially and not front and center where it really should be. That is what Bryan D. Palmer has attempted to do in this volume, to show that our own ambivalence in what defines us as Canadians is a direct result of the identity crises (and there were many) of the 1960s.
First off, I do want to mention that overall I really enjoyed the book but at over 400 pages, the book includes about 200 pages of information that I would categorize as background information (diefen-dollars, Marshall McLuhan, Ali vs Chuvalo). That is to say, half of the book does not directly contribute to Palmer's arguments but help to contextualize his later, stronger claims.
Having said that, there are some very strong chapters in the book, mostly found at the end. First is the breakdown of student radicalism, evidenced by the many campus protests across the country such as at SFU, and in Quebec. Second, is Palmer's lengthy analysis into the so-called Quiet Revolution and its many nuances, a fusion of anti-racism, nationalism, Marxism, and anti-colonialism, embodied in Vallieres and the FLQ movement. Finally, Palmer discusses the Red Revolution, the attempt by aboriginal peoples to reclaim their heritage and end the paternalism and unequal relationship that existed between aboriginal and white society. The book is very well researched and the historical questions Palmer confronts us with are relevant and timely. He ends the book by asking this question: "Is national identity really what we need?"
In my opinion, the 1960s represents all that we celebrate today as the cornerstones of Canadian society. Multiculturalism, universal healthcare, and the welfare state. It was the moment that Canada grew up and finally shed its "British past" full of the injustices and inequalities of empire to become a fairer and more just society. It is precisely because of those core values we all believe in, abstract and intangible, which makes it so hard to define. Thus, Canada as an imagined community is distinct from other nation-states which define themselves primarily by their distinct culture, or a long territorial history, or a revolution, or a great imperial domain -- and is instead a construction of social values.
This is an important historical text for anyone studying contemporary Canadian history. Palmer's analysis is not only insightful but very well-researched.

I can't really say I have become a farmer. That takes a special type of person, more acreage, and a lot more work. All I have are a few acres, a barn, two horses, some pastures, and a garden. However, even though a lot about my life still seems suburban, it's also changed a lot too.
One of my first observations of life in the country was how dark it was. There are no streetlights nearby and only minimal lights from the neighbors. It's wonderful, but there is the occasional downside. One night, it was so dark, that I managed to walk into one of pasture fences. But then, the magical part, I had forgotten what it was like to see the stars. They aren't quite the light show I remember at sea, or what you get out west, but for being so close to a metropolitan area the sky scape is amazing. Now, with my telescope, I can actually see something.

Sure there were a few particularly young dads who missed the war, and a few more, who for various reasons didn't serve in uniform, but without fail, the history and lore of the Second World War was a dominant part of the upbringing of my generation.
Whether it was stories from one of my Dad's dear friends about flying B-17's over Germany, or my father's stories of the Pacific War, it was all a background to my growing up. And the same was true for millions of others in my generation.

In the course of a day we're exposed to pesticides of all kinds. There is pesticide residue on most of the vegetables and fruits we buy and there are even minute traces of pesticide, depending on where you live, in the water supply. Often, while many modern pesticides break down over time, many don't. Even DDT, which hasn't been used in the U.S. in forty years, can still be found in trace amounts. For the most part though – and this is by no means a settled argument – humans aren't seriously affected by low or trace amounts of pesticide. However, when it comes to smaller creatures, to include insects, fish, and amphibians, the evidence is mounting that even trace amounts can cause significant damage.

A major reason for the rarity of distributed applications, despite the proliferation of networks, is the sensitivity of their performance to various aspects of the network environment. We demonstrate that distributed applications can run faster than local ones, using common hardware. We also show that the primary factors affecting performance are, in approximate order of importance: speed of the user's workstation, speed of the remote host (if any), and the high-level (above the transport level) protocols used. In particular, the use of batching, pipelining, and structure in high-level protocols reduces the degradation often experienced between different bandwidth networks. Less significant, but still noticeable improvements result from proper design and implementation of the underlying transport protocols. Ultimately, with proper application of these techniques, network bandwidth is rendered virtually insignificant.
