text:
In this critical but affectionate portrait of Iranian politics and culture, Majd, the Western-educated grandson of an ayatollah, delves into the very core of Iranian society, closely examining social mores and Farsi phrases to identify the Persian sensibility, which, Majd determines, cherishes privacy, praise and poetry. Nothing is too small or too sweeping for Majd to consider, and although he announces his allegiance to the former president Khatami, he remains scrupulously even-handed in assessing his successor Ahmadinejad, shedding light on the Iranian president's "obsession" with the Holocaust and penchant for windbreakers and why the two are (surprisingly) intertwined. The author's brisk, conversational prose is appealing; his book reads as if he is chatting with a smart friend, while strolling around Tehran, engaged in ta'arouf(an exaggerated form of self-deprecation key to understanding Persian society). Although Majd seems to gloss too quickly over realities that don't engage his interest-women's voices are only intermittently included-this failing scarcely mars this remarkable ride through what is often uncharted territory.

The grandson of an eminent ayatollah and the son of an Iranian diplomat, journalist Hooman Majd is uniquely qualified to explain contemporary Iran's complex and misunderstood culture to Western readers.
The Ayatollah Begs to Differ provides an intimate look at a country that is both deeply religious and highly cosmopolitan, authoritarian yet informed by a history of democratic and reformist traditions. Majd offers an insightful tour of Iranian culture, introducing fascinating characters from all walks of life, including zealous government officials, tough female cab drivers, and open-minded, reformist ayatollahs. It's an Iran that will surprise readers and challenge Western stereotypes.
Editorial Reviews
Despite the centrality of Iran to American security concerns and the heavy coverage Iran receives in Western media, the country remains an enigma to most Americans. This is partly because many people in the United States tend to equate contemporary Iran with its theocracy and/or the vitriolic public pronouncements of its president. However, as journalist Majd's lucidly written book demonstrates, Iran is a complex society with a sizable educated middle class and a youthful population whose cultural sophistication and cosmopolitan outlook have become buried under the avalanche of propaganda emanating from the country's theocratic rulers and U.S. media commentators with a political agenda. Majd, the Western-educated and Western-reared son of a former diplomat during Mohammad Reza Shah's monarchy, is immersed in both the Iranian and the Western cultures and easily navigates between these two domains. Based on his visits to Iran and extensive conversations with Iranians from all walks of life, Majd's witty and captivating book makes it possible for a nonexpert to appreciate the multiple layers of sociocultural factors that define today's Iran. Highly recommended for all public libraries. [See Prepub Alert, LJ6/1/08.]
Nader Entessar
"Perhaps the best book yet written on the contradictions of contemporary Iran.... It captures like no book in recent memory the ethos of the country, in elegant and precise prose." —Los Angeles Times
"Illuminating.... Captivating.... A discerning guide to a complex country." —Christian Science Monitor
"Essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the paradox that is Iran (as well as America) in the post-Bush world." —GQ
"In this delightful book, Hooman Majd, a gifted storyteller, takes us on a tour of his own private Persia, which is also the Iran of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The results are illuminating, humorous, sobering, and ultimately reassuring."
—Jon Lee Anderson, author of The Fall of Baghdad
"Hooman Majd is a stylish and engaging guide through the by-ways of Iranian life. Leading us from seminary to opium den to the presidential compound, his wry sense of humor makes this book a pleasure to read." —Gary Sick, Ph.D., senior research scholar at Columbia University and member of the National Security Council staff under presidents Ford, Carter, and Reagan
"A witty, timely perspective on the nation posing the greatest challenge to our next President. Travel writing often makes for easy reading at the expense of relevant information, which gets lost in the details. Not so with The Ayatollah Begs to Differ."
—Bill White, mayor of Houston and U.S. secretary of energy under President Clinton

The Ayatollah Begs to Differ
The Paradox of Modern Iran

The cat, a sinewy black creature with dirty white paws, darted from the alley and jumped across the joob, the narrow ditch by the curb, onto the sidewalk on Safi Alishah. It took one look at me, and then fled down the road toward the Sufi mosque. "That's the neighborhood laat!" exclaimed my friend Khosro, a longtime resident of the no-longer-chic downtown Tehran street. "He's the local tough, and he beats up all the other cats. Every time my mother's cat goes out he gets a thorough thrashing and comes back bruised and bloodied."
"Why?" I asked.
"He just beats the crap out of any cat he doesn't like, which is most cats, I guess."
"And no one does anything about it?" I asked naively.
"No. What's there to do? Every neighborhood has a laat."
Iranians are not known to keep indoor pets. Dogs are, of course, unclean in Islam, and as such are not welcome in most homes (although not a few Westernized upper-class Tehranis do keep dogs, but generally away from public view). Cats, Islamic-correct, are far more common, although unlike their Western counterparts Iranians don't so much own their cats as merely provide a home for them and feed them scraps from the table. That is, when the cats want a home. Persian cats, and I meanPersian as in nationality, are (to use a favored expression in Washington) freedom-loving animals, and they wander outdoors, particularly in neighborhoods where there are houses rather than apartments. They do so as often as they like, which seems to be quite often, and they get pregnant, they have fights, and they even change their domicile if they happen to stumble across a better garden or, as is usually the case, a more generous feeding hand. Such as Khosro's mother's cat, who appeared at her house one day and took a fancy to her.
Persians, despite having been best known in the West for really only two things, prior to their fame for Islamic fundamentalism, that is, cats and carpets, spend an awful lot of time pondering carpets and virtually no time thinking about cats. The Persian cats we know in the West, the ones with the impossibly flat faces and gorgeous silky hair, are not as common in Iran as one might think, or hope, and there is a national obsession neither about them nor about their less sophisticated cousins, the cats one sees on every street, in every alley, and in the doorways, kitchens, and gardens of many homes. And some of those cats are just by nature, well, laat.
Laat, like many other Persian words, can be translated in different ways, and some dictionaries use the English "hooligan" as the definition, although it is in fact wildly inaccurate. The laat holds a special place in Iranian culture: a place that at times can be compared to the popular position of a mafioso in American culture, albeit without the extreme violence associated with him, and at other times a place of respect and admiration for the working-class code he lives by. Hooligans are anarchic; laats fight only when necessary and to establish their authority. Iran's cultural history of the twentieth century prominently featured the laat and with perhaps more affection the jahel, the onetime laat who had elevated himself to a grand position of authority and respect in a given urban neighborhood. The jahel, a sort of street "boss," occupied himself with many different illegal and quasi-legal activities but, unlike gang leaders in America, rarely found himself the target of police investigations, partly because the police were often from his social class, partly because the police were doled out many favors by him, and partly because the governments under the Shah were loath to disrupt or antagonize a class of society that could be relied upon for support should it become necessary to buy it.
The last Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, when forced to flee the country in 1953 (in the face of a popular uprising in favor of Prime Minister Mossadeq), found great use in the jahels and laats of South Tehran when the coup organizers intent on restoring him to power (financed and organized by the CIA) hired a prominent and formerly pro-Mossadeq laat, Shaban Jafari, better known as Shaban Bimokh (Shaban the "Brainless"), to successfully lead a counter-uprising in the streets of Tehran and mercilessly beat any anti-Shah demonstrators they came across. Using street-savvy toughs rather than the military (which was anyway unreliable and caught between the authority of the democratically elected prime minister and that of the Shah) gave the Shah the cover of populist sentiment in his favor, not to mention the convenience of violent reprisal perpetrated in his name, rather than directly by him or his forces.
The laats and jahels came from the lower and therefore deeply religious strata of Iranian society and were strong believers in Islam themselves, but they were notorious drinkers and womanizers, not to mention involved in prostitution and drugs. The jahel code, at least they themselves believed, was one of ethics and justice, Shia ethics, and the occasional sin would be repented for later, as is possible in Shia Islam. The code extended to their dress: black suits, white tieless shirts, and narrow-brimmed black fedoras perched at an angle high on their heads. A cotton handkerchief was usually to be found in their hands as a sort of fetish, and the famous jahel dance in the cafes of working-class Tehran involved slow, spinning movements with the handkerchief prominently waved in the air.
The jahel, and the laat to a lesser degree, represented the ultimate in Iranian machismo, Iranian mardanegi, or "manliness," in a supremely macho culture. Upper-class youths affected their speech, much as upper-class white youths in America affect the speech of inner-city blacks. There was, and still is, a perverse male and sometimes female fascination with the culture of the laat that invades even the uppermost echelons of Tehran society. At a dinner party in early 2007, in the very chic and expensive North Tehran Elahieh district at the home of an actor who has lived in America, a young man who serves as a guide and translator for foreign journalists (some of whom were in the room) peppered his speech with vulgar curse words that would ordinarily have been out of bounds in mixed company, or at least unfamiliar mixed company. "You probably don't like me," he said as he pulled up a chair next to my seat, having noticed my occasional winces in the preceding minutes. He helped himself to a large spoonful of bootleg caviar on the coffee table in front of him. "Because I swear so much," he mumbled with his mouth full. "But I'm a laat, what can I do?" I hesitated, wanting to point out that a laat would hardly be eating caviar in a grand North Tehran apartment, nor would he ever employ the language I'd heard in front of women, not unless he was getting ready for a fight.
"No," I replied instead. "I have no problems with swearing."
"I'm a laat," he repeated, as if it were a badge of honor. "I'm just a laat." His wife, seated on my other side, giggled nervously, glancing at the other women around the table whose smiles gave tacit approval to his macho posturing. What would a real South Tehran laat make of this scene? I wondered.
Despite their seemingly secular ways, at least in terms of drinking, partying, and involvement with prostitutes, the working-class laats and jahels had been ardent supporters of the Islamic Revolution of 1979, and even though some royalists had suggested they be bought again, as they were in 1953, the Shah seemed to realize that times had changed and Khomeini's pull, which unlike Mossadeq's encompassed virtually all of Iran's opposition, was too strong to be countered with cash. Islam's promise of a classless society, along with the promise of far more equitable economic opportunities in a post-monarchy nation, was appealing enough in working-class neighborhoods, but what's more, unlike the intellectuals and aristocrats who surrounded Mossadeq, those fomenting this revolution were, after all, from the 'hood. As such, the street toughs and their jahel bosses, the xber-laats if you will, had assumed that an Islamic state would not necessarily infringe on their territory, but the clerics who brought about the revolution weren't going to let a bunch of thugs (in their minds) have the kind of authority that they considered exclusively reserved for themselves. The jahel neighborhood authority, along with its flamboyance of style and dress, also quickly went out of favor, replaced by cleric-sanctioned and much-feared paramilitary committees known as komiteh (the Persian pronunciation of the word), which undoubtedly numbered among their ranks many former laats.
In the few years of its existence the komiteh, often reporting directly to a cleric, involved itself in almost all aspects of life in each neighborhood where it was set up, and apart from enforcing strict Islamic behavior on the streets, it functioned as a sort of quasi-court where all manner of complaints were investigated. Among those complaints in the early days of the revolution were charges of corruption lodged against businessmen or the merely wealthy, usually by former employees but sometimes by jealous rivals, that resulted in further investigations by real courts and sometimes the confiscation of assets, a satisfying result for the early communist and left-wing supporters of the Islamic Republic who numbered among them the now-archenemy Paris- and Iraq-based Mujahedin, as they're known to most Iranians (but referred to as monafeghin, "hypocrites," by the government), or the MEK (for Mujahedin-e-Khalq), as they're known in the West.(1) (The political left had also been undoubtedly pleased to watch as the new government nationalized many of the larger private enterprises in Iran, a program that has been in various stages of undoing since Khomeini's death in 1989 and whose undoing continues today, even under an administration more ideological than the pragmatist and reformist governments that preceded it.)
The laats who joined a komiteh or even the Revolutionary Guards in the dramatic aftermath of the revolution may have thought of themselves as finally empowered politically, but they quickly learned that in an Islamic government, all real authority would rest with the clergy. In one of the first acts of the post-revolution government, ostensibly for Islamic reasons but also as a show of just who was in charge, Tehran's infamous red-light district, Shahr-e-No, or "New City," the stomping ground of many a jahel and laat, was shut down and razed. Today, the old district is bordered by a broad avenue lined with shops selling surplus military wear, including, as I saw myself, U.S. Desert Storm boots in mint condition and an assortment of other U.S. military clothes and footwear newly liberated from Iraq. On the day I was there, and as I was examining the various articles for sale in a storefront, an old man shuffled by slowly, wearing a dirty black suit and loafers with the heels pushed down. "See him?" asked the friend who had brought me, a child of South Tehran who spent many a day of his youth in the Shahr-e-No neighborhood. "He used to walk up and down this street, just like he is now, in the old days. But he was a big guy then."
Today, while laats still abound in urban areas, the jahel is but a fragment of memory for most Iranians, to be seen in the occasional old Iranian movie or to be talked about nostalgically. Once in a while, one can bump into one (or someone who at least affects the look) on the streets of downtown Tehran or farther south, as I did on Ferdowsi Avenue, just off Manouchehri, a street lined with antiques dealers, on a few occasions in the past few years. Among the Jewish shop owners and other stall vendors, one heavyset older man works out of an impossibly narrow shop carved into the side of a building.(2)His dusty window displays an array of old rings, bracelets, and other jewelry, the odd off-brand man's watch here and there, and he himself sits on an old stool just outside on the pavement. He wears a black suit, a slightly discolored white shirt, and a narrow-brimmed black fedora one size too small on the top of his obviously balding head. His thick black mustache, from which years ago he may have dramatically plucked a hair with his fingers to show good faith in a deal, is dyed, the reddish tint of the henna showing on the outermost hairs. His only concession to the Islamic state of affairs is the day-old growth of beard surrounding the mustache: snowy white growth that betrays the dyed mustache even more startlingly than the henna hue. I don't know if he was ever a jahel, but it seems likely that he was. He sits there on Ferdowsi, keeping his own hours, like a toothless old cat, a reminder for those who might care that the neighborhood's top laat is not what he used to be.
The Javadieh neighborhood of South Tehran was once the city's roughest; to the young male residents it was known as "Texas," presumably because of the association in Iranian minds of that state with the lawless Wild West. A rough neighborhood, though, meant poor and run-down but not necessarily dangerous in the way we might think in the West. Upper-class Iranians would never have ventured into Javadieh; they still don't, but not out of fear, rather because of the strict Iranian delineation between the classes. Some upper-class wealthy young males may want to affect the macho posturing of the lower-class laat, but they would never sit down with one and have a chat over a cup of tea. Nor would they know how to deal with a chaghoo-kesh--"knife-puller" literally, but someone who lives by his knife. Guns have never been popular among Iranian toughs, mainly because they kill more often than maim, but also because guns in Iran have been associated with armed struggle or revolution rather than self-defense or criminal activity. As such, governments, whether under the Shahs or in the Islamic Republic, have zero tolerance for guns, which they have viewed as threats to their power, but have had a wide tolerance for knives and other fighting equipment.
Knife fights, common enough even today, rarely end with serious injury, although on occasion death does occur, as it did recently on the street where I was staying when a fight broke out between two young men over the affections of a local girl, with whom neither had relations but whom each felt was his. The thrust of a knife, a little too hard and a little too close to the heart, probably unintentional, resulted in death, and the onetime chaghoo-kesh was transformed from street thug to murderer in an instant. But usually a knifing is meant to cut rather than kill, and in the old street tradition a knife fight begins with one or both of the men cutting themselves on the chest, to draw blood and to demonstrate the fearlessness of the fighter. That disregard for one's own well-being extended easily into the practice of fearless suicide missions performed by the all-volunteer Basij forces during the Iran-Iraq war.(3)

Cardano has appointed Adelaide de Casson and Darran Specter to its London-based investment management team.
They will focus on researching and selecting global macro and multi-strategy investments, including hedge funds.
Keith Guthrie, head of investment management at Cardano UK, says: 'As a solvency manager we selectively use non-traditional strategies to give us a wide range of opportunities and diversification. These strategies include global macro and multi-strategy hedge funds. To succeed our team needs an excellent understanding of risks, as well as the ability to identify great managers. Adelaide and Darran fit the bill very well, because a core part of their previous roles has been to assess hedge fund risks. In addition, they have experience of working with global macro and multi-strategy managers, not just equity long/short managers.'
De Casson previously worked for Lehman Brothers and Deutsche Bank in the area of risk management for hedge fund clients. Most recently she has been responsible for due diligence and assessing risk on a portfolio of 150 hedge funds.
Specter (pictured) joins Cardano from Schroders' fund of hedge fund operation, NewFinance Capital, where he was a member of their research and investment committees. He had responsibility for selecting quantitative managers and carrying out risk analysis on a wide range of hedge fund strategies.

The Los Angeles 2020 Commission: a minority report
The UCLA Anderson Forecast recently conveyed the news that L.A. produced no jobs on a net basis in the past two decades. Adding to Angeleno angst is the fact we may have glitz and glamour, but we're one of the poverty capitals of the nation.
Against this grim backdrop emerged the findings of the Los Angeles 2020 Commission, with its marquee-name members – including, among others, former Gov. Gray Davis and Department of Water and Power union chief Brian D'Arcy – and a task so vast it required two separate reports, one listing problems and one identifying solutions.
Eternal optimists are cheering the soup ladled up by the commission, including boosting the minimum wage, spending tax dollars on a brand spanking new "Office of Transparency and Accountability," and transforming the two ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach into . . . well, into one port. Also among the suggestions was beefing up oversight of the DWP, about which Mr. D'Arcy likely had strong opinions.
Instead of this warmed-over brew, how about something truly bold, namely, a 180-degree shift in our basic political presumptions? First, what if politicians were brutally honest about the value of privatization, and as a result approached each and every decision about policy and funding with the assumption that the private sector would accomplish a task with more quality and efficiency than the results offered by government-run enterprises.
Certainly, our elected mentors would retain supervisory power over the operation of government-authorized activity. The heavy lifting, however, would be accomplished by people who won their jobs not based on pork or patronage, but skill. Their continued employment would not be based on a calcified system that guarantees jobs for life, but a very straightforward standard: Meet or exceed goals or move on.
Second, let's end the presumption of taxing citizens in order to hand out government-issued prizes designed to entice votes. Instead, let's instruct lawmakers to view every single proposed confiscation of a citizen's funds (some refer to the phenomenon as taxation) and each suggested restriction on a citizen's freedom, with an enormous dollop of skepticism. The presumption would be, any law that takes people's money or freedom from them is a bad idea – now try and talk us out of that mindset with respect to your pet project.
Can you imagine how Los Angeles would be transformed if these two notions, utterly antithetical to the DNA of politicians everywhere, somehow took hold? All over the city people would be doing the people's business with customer service, job security and quality on their minds. Los Angeles would be a DMV- and IRS-free zone. Our leaders wouldn't be telling us how much to pay people, what kind of bags we can stuff our groceries into, and how many forms in triplicate a 10-year-old girl wanting to sell lemonade on the sidewalk has to complete.
If Los Angeles wants to stop circling the drain, the people should insist on a double-barreled change in the government's default setting. If they wait for the politicians to come around, it's going to take a lot longer than 2020 to get the job done.

Losing a job involves losing much more than money. You lose friends, status and a disciplined routine. It can lead to depression, and then to Greg's wife's problem, agoraphobia. If she's got a sympathetic doctor - who won't put her problem down to "her age" or palm her off with pills alone - then Greg's wife should consult him. Even so, Greg could play a huge role in helping restore confidence in herself.
They should get books on the subject, and both read them, too, to feel less alone. Contact a self-help group. Then make a trip to the local shop, together, on a quiet day. They need only buy one thing - and Greg should promise that they can turn back any time she wants. If she falters before getting there, not to worry. Greg should be reassuring her all the time. And however far she gets, he should respond with huge rounds of verbal applause. "Brilliant!" he should exclaim. "What courage! You're doing wonderfully!" It'd be true, too, because for anyone who faces the panic attacks that provoke agoraphobia such small ventures are brave indeed.
I've only had one major panic-attack, after the birth of my son, on a walk round normally familiar Hammersmith Broadway, and cripes, was that alarming. I became stranded on a crossing, overwhelmed with terror at the cars that thundered down the road. To me they appeared like wild, rampaging buffalo.
As his wife gains confidence, getting a little further each trip, Greg could then perhaps suggest standing outside a shop while she goes in to buy just one thing alone. And if she feels she might be able to face an evening out with friends, Greg could reassure her that he'd be quite happy to leave with her, without any guilt-inducing sighs, immediately after the meal if she wished.
He should initiate this as soon as possible, because agoraphobia rarely disappears, and the woman's world - it's usually a woman - can get smaller and smaller until she ends up feeling just as trapped in her home as an Iranian hostage in a tiny cell.
While Greg should go on doing the shopping and chores, he can only do it without resentment if his wife's prepared to try to beat her problems. Otherwise, he may continue to do everything, and become either increasingly angry or, as has happened to some men, dependent themselves on their roles as super-copers. Ironically, if and when their wives do make a recovery, these men can then often find themselves losing self-esteem and becoming gloomy and panicky when their powerful role is eroded.

The ex-agoraphobe
A couple of years after returning to full-time work, the stresses of juggling the responsibilities of home and career threw me into a very deep depression. All I wanted was to be left alone, to stare into space and contemplate how to end it all.
My husband used to humour me at first, but he got so desperate in the end that he took the risk of having a huge row and insisted that we go out to the pub and talk, if I still cared for him at all. It brought me back to reality with a jolt. Once I began to talk and cry freely, things improved remarkably quickly, and our marriage has been the better for it since.
Anon, Dorset
The adviser from bitter experience
I found myself in a similar situation when I was cornered into resigning from the Foreign Office because of a bullying manager. I felt a failure in my own eyes, those of my husband and parents and worthless in the eyes of the working world.
My world shrank until the thought of going out to the shops, the pub, even to my old supportive friends, filled me with dread.
If I forced myself to go, my legs soon went to jelly, I had nausea and diarrhoea, cold sweats, shakes and an overwhelming fear that I was going to die. If my husband needed to go out I would feel angry and rejected and in fear of having to cope alone. Yet I had been the practical one, the organised one.
I tried to convince myself that I had some unknown physical ailment. It was by chance that I discovered I was suffering from anxiety attacks, more than another year to face up to my situation and another two to overcome the sometimes suicidal depression and feelings of inadequacy that had set in.
Do tackle her growing social phobia together. Unless you both do something soon the "illness" will become entrenched. It took me five years - years of wasted time for both of us.
Yours sincerely,
Freya Martin, London
The husband who helped
My wife showed the same symptoms as your wife and I was at a loss as to what I could do. First of all your wife has to admit, not only to herself, but also to you, that there is something wrong. She's not going mad, but the stress which she's under probably makes her think that she is. She doesn't want you to tell her to "pull herself together". All that will do is add more to her anxiety. She needs support and understanding.
Although you may feel tempted to say that it's getting too much for you, please don't say it. Try and work out ways in which you can help her to rebuild her life, even if it's going half way down the road with her and then back home again. Don't tell her that there's nothing to be afraid of because the feelings she's getting are so frightening to her.
It took time and patience but now things are fine. Helping her to face her fear in easy stages will enable both of you to begin to rebuild your lives together.

Dear Virginia,
I'm lucky enough to have a spare room in my flat. I used to think friends would often come to stay, but in fact it's only been used twice in the past year. I'm starting to feel very guilty about this extra space, particularly when I see homeless people. I don't want to make money out it, I just want to stop feeling guilty about having so much when many people have so little. I feel like ringing one of the homeless charities and offering my space to someone who needs it. But a friend has begged me to reconsider. She says it would be incredibly dangerous, they might be disturbed, what would I do if they drank - and so on. I am also extremely houseproud and she says my standards are too high for anyone else. Have any readers got any experiences that would help me make up my mind? What should I do?
Listen to my conscience or my friend?
Yours sincerely, Janet

Well I'm new here on this site. Been reading it for several years but been a member of other sites figured it was time to join up and glean some knowledge from you guys. Anyone that don't think they can learn probably never will. Not exactly a novice at elk hunting but neither do I have the years of knowledge some of you guys do. Been hunting elk in Co. For the past 7 years public land DIY hunts. Killed 6 bulls and one cow no bragging there just hunt hard and have been fortunate to have the time to spend that helps you be successful. First bull with a rifle and all the others with my bow. Gotta love it!! Enough about that I have drawn a unit 40 elk tag gonna be there the last 2 weeks of the season had some buddies that I hunt with every year draw it last year and did real well. 2 killed real nice bulls but they where there the first 2 weeks of archery and stayed pretty well on the NF I am interested in some hard to get to places where a guy might stumble on a MONSTER!!! Any help would be highly appreciated. I have seen a guy on here frequently from Fruita, co would love to chat with him!! Thanks, Y'all

Researchers have commonly invoked isolation from job opportunities as an explanation for persistence of gender and race inequality in the labor market, but few have examined whether access to information about job opportunities varies by race and gender. Findings from nationally representative survey data reveal significant white male advantage in the number of job leads received through routine conversations when compared to white women and Hispanics. Differences in social network resources (social capital) partly explain the deficit among Hispanics, but fail to account for the job lead gap between white women and men. Further analyses show that inequality in the receipt of job information is greatest at the highest levels of supervisory authority, where white males receive substantially more job leads than women and minorities.

For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Someone recently sent Sandy Bartholomew a question about the way I do a fabric-like tangle in a couple of the illustrations I did in her 'Totally Tangled' book. She set the question to me, and I created a tangle, Chambray, to show how it was done.
I think sometimes people confuse our names (Sandra Strait/Sandra Bartholomew), so I asked her to post the tangle on her site--she deserves every inch of credit for that book. It is so amazing that she allowed other artists to share their art when she put in all the hours and frustration. I've never heard of such a thing before.
I want to make sure everyone knows where the praise should go. I contributed. She dreamed, toiled, and published. Sandra Bartholomew is my hero!

When Mallett unveils its latest sale at its Mayfair headquarters today, the listed art and antiques dealer is praying the event will kickstart a period of what chief executive Giles Hutchinson Smith calls "ferocious trading".
After a decidedly lean period, the art and antiques dealer has it all to play for.
Yesterday Mallett revealed a weak trading update and Mr Hutchinson Smith described the first four and half months of this year as "relatively quiet".
Long gone are the days when shoppers would wander off the street into a Mayfair gallery and snap up a piece. Now dealers have to market their wares on the internet and plough money into the biggest fairs and events globally to win new customers.
One of the key sales periods is about to start: between mid-May and mid-July there is a flurry of fairs, with next month's Masterpiece London 2014, at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, a key show for the top end of art and antiques dealers. The next peak period is in the autumn, with events such as New York's International Fine Art & Antiques Dealers Show.
Mr Hutchinson Smith said: "The market has moved swiftly. Now it is about concentrated periods of trading. Business is now much more lumpy. This is now an event- based business rather than a gallery-based business."
Antiques dealers have had to step out of their old-fashioned market into a modern world, where big events and the internet are as important as a swanky central London address.
Mallett, which was founded in 1865, is finally going to start selling its wares online, with Mr Hutchinson Smith saying that the internet business should "iron out some of the lumps."
It will trial sales of up £20,000 for the first six months and, if things go well, it will look at upping the price.
Mallett isn't the only one to realise the market is much more volatile and that it can't rely on shop trade alone.
It noticed the trend and began discussions eight years ago with its fellow dealers Apter-Fredericks and Ronald Phillips. Together they launched the Masterpiece art fair in 2009.
Masterpiece, now in its fifth year, has 157 exhibitors from more than 10 countries, with over 30,000 visitors each year.
Harry Apter runs Apter- Fredericks, a dealer of 18th- and early 19th-century English furniture, along with his brother Guy. They are the third generation of a business that started in 1946. Harry Apter said business has seen brisk so far this year and sales are up on last year, but he admitted: "The antiques market is event driven. But life itself is event driven. People want excitement and the old-fashioned style of antiques trading is gone. Businesses have to change with the times."
He added that a new world of potential buyers has opened up at these events. "We meet people who would never have gone to an antiques fair or gallery before.
"Now buyers are not looking to fill a whole house with antiques. It is about signature pieces. They might be looking for that one statement piece – a table that can be used as a table, not a museum piece."
Even across the wider antiques market and right down to the lower end of the sector, things have had to change.
Mark Dodgson, the secretary general at the British Antique Dealers' Association, which was founded in 1918, said: "There are fewer county towns with local antiques dealers now. The internet has changed things but also how people spend their leisure time has changed. We are competing for cash with Lamborghinis and expensive holidays. The antiques market has become ultra competitive.
"There is also the added issue of rent. With less footfall, it is harder to justify a gallery when rents are rising. In Mayfair particularly, some galleries have been priced out by luxury brands who can pay much more for the space."
But the showroom isn't dead. Mr Apter argued: "The gallery is still very important; people like to know they can visit the shop. Even if they don't, they like to know they could if they needed to. It lends credibility to the business."
And even the giants of the auction world also have to follow the "seasons". Orlando Rock, the deputy chairman for Europe at Christie's, said: "There are two key gallery seasons in decorative arts. Our 'Exceptional Sale' – an auction of the rarest and most important works from the traditional decorative arts, where we curate our very best pieces – is a key sales period."
But he pointed out that the bigger auction houses can also sell successfully in between these key periods due to their size and reach.
With such an unpredictable art and antiques market, why would an art dealer remain listed? Under the scrutiny of shareholders and the wider financial market, Mallett is open to the vagaries of specific trading periods and yesterday its shares tumbled by nearly 14 per cent.
Mr Hutchinson Smith conceded: "Being a public company of this size, in a business that is very hard to read, is not a comfortable suit. It is no surprise it is rare to have a listed art dealer."
It is thought Mallett could look at either going private or moving to the junior Aim market, but for now its shareholders have to cope with the highs and lows of the art and antiques calendar.Reuse content

Yes...another year has slipped on by. DA has gotten so big I doubt many people even see my art anymore. They get fewer and fewer views. Hell, there's still work from last year no one even bothered to comment on or download. Either I am forgotten or suck pretty hard now a days.
Whatever the reason, I will continue to upload my work here for anyone who wants to enjoy it. I don't do Tumbler or Reddit. I have a Patreon account www.patreon.com/WhiteAppleMult… if anyone is interested. I will be uploading videos of how to do certain traditional techniques, inking, and some dip pen talk.
I was quite pleased with this years work and it went over VERY well at the art show. My Fox-E picture got an incredible amount of attention for a nude piece. I also did well at my table. I think last year was all about timing. Not getting the con on the holiday weekend really hurt sales.
At any rate, go forth and enjoy my new works...see you next year

close can fail with errno == EINTR, in which case the close call needs to be made again.
ScopedClose just calls close and doen't check the return code, assuming that the close succeeded. If the close returns EINTR, then the close may not have actually happened.
For whomever takes this one, see http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/287a7d7cf7f0/xpcom/glue/FileUtils.h#l54
Just changing the close(fd); to while(close(fd)==EINTR); is enough ?
Or should there be any maximum retries kind of logic ?
Or should it wait for some time before retrying again ?
Please let me know the details
The actual logic should be:
while ((close(fd) == -1) && (errno == EINTR)) {
You shouldn't need any maximum retries logic. This is essentially the same logic found in the
TEMP_FAILURE_RETRY macro from /usr/include/unistd.h, but that macro is glibc specific, so it may not be portable across all of the platforms that we support.

This won't work. errno isn't set if close returns successfully. You should only test errno if close returns -1, or if you explicitly set errno to 0 prior to calling close.

clicking on the link creates a new email addressed to firstname.lastname@example.com .
Am i supposed to send an email ?
Are you logged in?
There should be 2 links, one says edit, and one says take.
Oops - I wound up assigning it to you. I was playing with logging in and out, and wound up assigning it to you.
So I'll assign it back to nobody.
If you click on edit, it will shows who its currently assigned to, and you can change it (if you have permission). You should be able to change it to your email address.
Clicking on take should fill in your email address (so this should be easier than clicking on edit)
Are you on IRC? It's probably easier to have a discussion there, rather than in the bug...

Yeah - we eventually figured that out, and now that I'm aware that's one of the things I look for. Apparently, the proper procedure for getting editbugs is to follow this:

Heavyweight David Rodriguez and light heavyweight Ilshat "The Sheriff" Khusnulgatin have both signed promotional contracts with Main Events, the company announced.
Rodriguez (36-0, 34 KOs), 36, of El Paso, Texas, is 6-foot-4 and 250 pounds and has built a tremendous record, although he has faced extremely weak opposition. Rodriguez has not fought since late 2011 because he was attacked and stabbed in the face outside a Scottsdale, Ariz., pizza restaurant on Dec. 30, 2011.
Rodriguez is lucky to be alive. He needed 369 stitches to close his wounds and nearly had his jugular vein cut. He has a large scar that runs down the side of his face, from his ear to his chin. He has recovered from the stabbing but missed more time when he suffered a knee injury getting ready for a fight in the summer of 2012.
"Through God, I was given a second chance at life, and through Main Events, I was given a second chance at a career," Rodriguez said. "I'm deeply humbled and grateful for the opportunity. I finally feel like I'm in good hands and the sky is the limit."
Rodriguez, who is with adviser Luis DeCubas Jr. and manager Rick Pineda, is scheduled to fight on Main Events' Dec. 14 undercard, but not in a televised bout.
"David has made it clear that his intention is to step up in 2014 and take on everyone at the top of the heavyweight division," Main Events promoter Kathy Duva said. "David has the personality, the looks and the punch to be a big star. It will be Main Events' job to give him the opportunities necessary for him to reach his goal of becoming the heavyweight champion of the world."
Khusnulgatin (11-0, 6 KOs), 23, has fought mainly in his native Russia but has had three fights in the United States.
"These are exciting times in the light heavyweight division and for fighters from Eastern Europe," Duva said. "Ilshat makes another great addition to our light heavyweight lineup at Main Events. At 23, he is the youngest fighter at Main Events, and we look forward to watching him develop."
Main Events also promotes light heavyweight titlist Sergey Kovalev, who shares manager Egis Klimas with Khusnulgatin. Former world titleholder John David Jackson trains Khusnulgatin.

According to Carmen Caruso of Schwartz Cooper, "The addition of these regional associations makes clear that the forced conversion by IDQ/ADQ is a national problem, not a problem isolated to one particular region or state. It is affecting all franchisees." The lawsuit by the four Dairy Queen franchisee associations continues to ask the Court to prevent IDQ and ADQ from:
1. Forcing current members to convert their outlets to the new DQ Grill & Chill or DQ/Orange Julius concepts through modernization/name change programs immediately upon renewal, relocation, transfer, or upgrade of their existing franchise agreements.
2. Placing unreasonable requirements, i.e., a mandatory investment of tens of thousands of dollars, on existing Dairy Queen franchisees to convert their current outlet to an entirely new Dairy Queen concept/brand/system, resulting in the potential loss of their business.
3. Placing surcharges on products sold to the franchisees by endorsed vendors/distributors of IDQ/ADQ for advertising purposes without applying credits for the payment of these surcharges to the franchisees' advertising commitments per the franchise agreements.
4. Requiring payment of surcharges on certain products sold to Dairy Queen franchisees for advertising purposes and, therefore, breaching franchisee agreements that do not require franchisees to pay advertising fees.
This suit, on behalf of members of four separate regional franchisee associations spanning ten states, seeks to protect the rights of existing and future Dairy Queen franchisees by eliminating the threat of forced conversions by IDQ/ADQ which impact the viability of each and every Dairy Queen franchisee. MDQOA's members own and operate Dairy Queen franchises in Michigan; AZDQOA's membership is comprised of Dairy Queen owners and operators situated in Arizona; NESO's members own and operate Dairy Queen franchised outlets in West Virginia, Ohio, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky; and Heartland's members operate franchises in Missouri and Illinois.

Me thinks the lid is about to blow off the Dairy Queen corporate boiling pot of mistrust and lies. This time, suits filed by regional operators organizations will force Warren Buffet and Berkshire Hathaway to look more deeply into the misdeeds that have constructed the house of cards in the franchise system. Yeah, it was all fun and games when they thought new ownership and investment by WB and BH would force transparency in management to support increasing profit margins and revenue growth. This logic is flawed right off the bat as all INDQ management has done is bullied their base of franchisees through illegal changes to legacy contracts and has begun to force many smaller operators out of the system. Since when is it cool for a national brand to step on the throats of the very franchisees who generate their revenue (a scam), promote their brand, and operate profitable businesses. INDQ just wants more to show Warren Buffet that his investment would grow and he could look like the hero in front of his shareholders. Little does he know the magnitude of the clamp he has begun to tighten on the nads of the mom and pop operators. We will see what they have to say on April 30th in Omaha when the clown suits come out and the signs start flashing the incriminating facts against them. While I am not too naive to think that one little Guy can communicate the fullness of inept management and illegal practices, but I damned well know that MSNBC, CBS Business Watch, and all the other business magazine will want to know our collective story.

I can not believe this information would actually get to a franchisee. Test answer Questions wow that has to be embarrassing for DQ. I read the lawsuit it sounds like DQ is trying to deflect attention from misdeeds they have committed. It seems the franchisee was trying to communicate with DQ and they clearly ignored him. Whats clearly missing is ACH authorizations nowhere could I see any actual signed ACH authorization form. I just find it hard to believe DQ being owned by the greatest investor of all time could be this disorganized. I also find it very disturbing that Dairy Queen would not provide disclosure... Ryan Palmers comments are correct this should of never escalated to this point. It sounds like Dairy Queen is trying to control freedom of speech and demonize the franchisee. This is the United States I know if Warren Buffet looked at this he would agree its definately giving Dairy Queen a black eye.Read more: Dairy Queen sues Iowa franchisee over alleged $13 million extortion plot | Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal

I received 5 bareroot tree peonies yesterday, a bit early for Zone 5. I'm
trying to decide the best course of action....
Pot up, but keep in cool garage
Pot up, bring in house to get an early start
Leave bareroot for now and pot up in April
any other suggestions?
These plants will be for sale at MG plant sale, but I had planned to grow
them on for a year first as I expected them to be smaller. They have 6 to
10 inches of wood and have already begun to sprout. They also have 8 to 12
inches of thick roots. The cool garage was my initial thought, but, since
they are already sizeable, I thought the early start indoors might not be a
bad idea. Is it possible they'd develop enough by mid-June to sell them?
Any other thoughts?

Could be in your driveway
Pfaff Auto in Toronto came up a very nice guerrilla marketing effort in selected wealthy neighborhoods. They parked a nice Porsche in someone's driveway, snapped a pic of it there and then created a custom postcard for the homeowners so they could see what it would look like. An instant direct, and we mean DIRECT mail piece.

Recent reviews
Good 3.3 /5 from 27 reviews
The hotel was clean, It could do with an upgrade and the art work is a little out there but we would definitely use it again. Staff were courteous and helpful. This hotel is in a fantastic location and the view from our balcony was fantastic. We needed a base to explore and this hotel did that, you get what you pay for, it didn't break the bank but wouldn't be everyone's taste.
Really disappointed with room, very dark and dingy, I was expecting funky decor as described, but was very dated and dingy, I couldnt see to read, The receptionist did change our room to a brighter painted one. but not sure I couldve stayed there if no other rooms available. The furniture was very basic and battered. It was extremely noisy from both outside{constant deliveries to shops. hotels etc} and from inside we could hear the full conversations of the people next door. Food was basic but edible, but no chit chat from the quite surly staff. Each room had roller shutters which made a lot of noise, Our bath was about 4ft long' not great for an over 6ft husband, The shower varied from warm to lukewarm most of the time, and the shower rail was held up by a wire attached to the ceiling, Only one bedside cabinet, I had to use a stool, only one plug socket directly above middle of headboard which was awkward for charging stuff. Only plus was the location.

The Neuroscience Of Worrying Less, and Overcoming Obsessions
Obsession is a common trope explored in literature and art... We often find ourselves immersed in these fictional tales because like these protagonists, all of us have obsessions. We find these preoccupations in our passions — of which we call "hobbies" — and in the our pleasures — of which we call "addictions". These preoccupations also plague our worries, or in fact, one could argue that we worry because of these preoccupations.
