The year began with good news for City fat cats: stocks were up, bonuses at record levels and doctors said dieting was dangerous. The cream went sour pretty quickly, though, as the Asian crisis became so serious that the IMF had to bail out several nations with emergency payments. Mo Mowlam risked her neck to rescue the Northern Ireland peace process by meeting loyalist prisoners inside the Maze. Back in London, one of her cabinet colleagues endured great embarrassment because his son had been caught selling cannabis to a tabloid reporter. Everybody knew who it was but couldn't say, until Jack Straw (a Home Secretary who steadfastly refused to chill out about drugs) admitted that yes, the guilty party was his boy William. Peter Mandelson took a trip, seeking inspiration for the Millennium Dome in Disneyland, Florida - but he took great pains to avoid being seen with the Mouse. President Clinton was less discreet. His wife dismissed emerging details of a fling with a young intern called Monica as "absolutely false", and Hillary stood by her man when he appeared on live television. Wagging his finger and looking the world in the eye, the President insisted: "Listen to me ... I did not have sexual relations with that woman." The Pope went to Cuba, Fidel Castro having declared Christmas a national holiday in his honour. The mother of a 13-year-old Californian girl was convicted of child abuse, after allowing her to die bed-bound weighing 49 stone. Gales battered Britain, and a freak tornado destroyed the village of Selsey in West Sussex. Two ginger Tamworth pigs fled for their lives after escaping from an abattoir in Wiltshire. Butch and Sundance were on the run for several days before being captured and taken in by an animal sanctuary. They brought home the bacon by touring the country, charging pounds 1,500 a time for personal appearances.
Boris Yeltsin warned of a Third World War as Tony met Bill in Washington and prepared to bomb Iraq. Karla Faye Tucker, a 36-year-old born-again Christian who had murdered two people 15 years earlier, was poisoned by a Texan executioner; she chose fruit and salad for her last supper. The Mayor of New York refused to consider the repatriation of the original Winnie the Pooh, Piglet and Eeyore toys from a glass cabinet in the city's public library. Danbert Nobacon of Chumbawamba took the law into his own hands at the Brits pop awards ceremony when he poured cold water over John Prescott - he said he was angry that the Government had sold out the striking Liverpool dockers. He used a champagne bucket. The Belgians do these things differently, as the founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates (worth pounds 23bn at the time), found out when a custard pie was thrown in his face in Brussels. "Lead us not into temptation" became "Save us from the time of trial" as the General Synod meddled with the Lord's Prayer, but neither version worked for Ross Rebagliati. He lost his gold medal for snowboarding at the Winter Olympics in Japan after testing positive for marijuana. Britain's only medal was a bronze in the bobsleigh. Guy Snowden resigned from the National Lottery organiser Camelot after the High Court decided he had tried to bribe Richard Branson. The Lord Chancellor stayed, despite the stink over the pounds 650,000 refurbishment of his apartment. And a personal intervention by Tony Blair saved Bart's Hospital (where, quite coincidentally, all three of his children were born). Bombs were about to fall on Baghdad when the UN Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, flew there to pursue his "sacred duty" of preventing war, and managed it, for the moment. Confidence in our brave boys was dented slightly when a Harrier jet heading for the Gulf accidentally dropped two huge fuel tanks on a village in France.
Alarmed at the poor state of British farming and the threat of a ban on hunting, everyday rural folk marched on London. The organisers said 284,500 people were on the Countryside March, but independent observers saw only half as many. The Chancellor quelled discontent among teachers, nurses and commuters by announcing ambitious spending plans in the budget, to be paid for by drivers, drinkers, smokers and prudence. When The Full Monty was released on video one of its stars, Steve Huison, announced from his allotment that he had been paid only the Equity minimum for stripping off in a film that had made pounds 50m in Britain alone. As Bill Gates defended his company's aggressive marketing policies to the American Senate, hackers were freezing Windows systems in the US Navy and Nasa. This didn't stop the space agency from announcing that it had found water on the moon. A long way from the Sea of Tranquillity, Serbia declared elections in Kosovo illegal and sent in its special police force to terrorise the province. The shooting of two men in a Northern Irish bar shocked even the most cynical observers when it emerged that one of the life-long best friends was a Protestant and the other a Catholic. In Latin America, General Augusto Pinochet wept as he stood down from control of his nation's army - but the former dictator of Chile was made a senator for life. Jack Straw refused to allow Roisin McAliskey to be extradited to Germany to face allegations of terrorism, deeming it an unjust and oppressive way to treat a young woman who was ill in hospital. Boris Yeltsin was written off by many as too unwell to govern, but rose from his sickbed to sack his entire government. The last tin-miners in Britain were laid off with the closure of the South Crofty mine in Cornwall.
Good Friday lived up to its name for once. The deadline came and went but the talks about the future of Ireland carried on, day and night, with decisive interventions by President Clinton on the telephone. Finally, the various parties appeared (separately) on the steps of Stormont Castle to announce a deal that included a new assembly for Northern Ireland. While the media were looking across the Irish Sea, Robin Cook married his former secretary Gaynor Regan in secret. Friends said he punched the air in delight when he left Tunbridge Wells register office, wearing a green anorak, and found there were no photographers outside. No such luck for George Michael, who squeezed on to the front pages after an undercover police officer caught him engaged in a "lewd act" in a Beverly Hills lavatory. While Michael came to terms with the fact the world now knew about his sexuality, the rather less coy Peter Tatchell of Outrage! stormed the pulpit at Canterbury Cathedral to interrupt the Archbishop's Easter sermon. A more serious offence was committed by the sculptor Anthony-Noel Kelly, sentenced to nine months in prison for stealing human remains from the Royal College of Surgeons to use in his art. The body of Pol Pot was put on display in Cambodia to prove that the Khmer Rouge leader described by many as the most evil man in the world was really dead. The convicted paedophile Sidney Cooke was released from Wandsworth prison, and police played a cat-and-mouse game with vigilantes and protesters as they searched for a place where he could resettle. The best April Fool was by Guinness, which convinced a reputable newspaper with pink pages that it was to sponsor Greenwich Mean Time, renaming it Guinness Mean Time and replacing the pips with drips from a pint.
The state of Israel celebrated its 50th anniversary, but orthodox Jews were disgusted when their nation won the Eurovision Song Contest. They objected not to the song but to the singer, a glamorous transsexual called Dana International. Frank Sinatra, who would not have approved, died. The other contender for ditty of the month was heard when Arsenal won the league and cup double, and fans chanted for their French midfielder Emmanuel Petit: "He's tall, he's quick, his name's a porno flick." One Arsenal fan, the Archbishop of Canterbury, chose to watch his team at Wembley rather than join other Christians among the 50,000 protesters who linked hands outside the G8 summit in Birmingham, asking leaders of the richer nations to break the chains of Third World debt. The summit cost pounds 10m (including the dyeing of dusty roadside verges green for the benefit of the VIPs in passing limousines) but little was achieved. People power was more effective in Indonesia, where students led a revolt that resulted in the resignation of President Suharto. And there was elation once more in Ulster when a referendum endorsed April's peace deal. Things were also looking up for impotent men in the United States, where a new wonder- drug called Viagra was breaking all prescription sales records. India set off five nuclear test explosions. Pakistan ignored pleas not to rise to the bait, and carried out six tests of its own. Old enmities resurfaced in this country when Emperor Akihito of Japan arrived on a state visit. As he was driven down the Mall with the Queen, former prisoners of war turned their backs in protest, burned flags and whistled "Colonel Bogey". The Foreign Office was grateful for this distraction, since embarrassing questions were being asked about its intervention in a military coup in Sierra Leone.
Life was tough for a podgy idol of limited talent who was suddenly out of the team. No, not Ginger Spice - who survived a departure from the Spice Girls and would reinvent herself as Geri Halliwell, UN ambassador for goodwill - but Paul Gascoigne, who struggled to cope with his disappointment at being left out of England's World Cup squad. Tears were shed when the manager, Glenn Hoddle, finally lost patience with him, principally by Gazza himself, who flew back from the training camp in Spain immediately. Louise Woodward also returned home, to Cheshire, after the Supreme Judicial Court in Massachusetts ruled that she was guilty of manslaughter but had served her time. She appeared on Panorama and was interviewed by Martin Bashir, as Diana, Princess of Wales had been. Mohamed al-Fayed was full of conspiracy theories when he appeared before an official French inquiry into Diana's death, and fumed against the "snobs, vultures and bastards" responsible. There were scuffles and bottles thrown outside the Stephen Lawrence inquiry in London, when five men suspected of murdering him arrived to give evidence. The Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Paul Condon, apologised to Doreen and Neville Lawrence for the errors that had allowed their son's killers to escape justice. The Rolling Stones cancelled the British leg of their world tour after a row with the Treasury over new tax laws that would have cost them pounds 10m. Would-be rock stars fared better: aspiring musicians were exempted from the welfare-to-work scheme. Without the exemption their benefit would have been stopped unless they tried to get a proper job. The decision meant they could close the curtains and concentrate on the World Cup, like most of Britain. Flags were draped in unlikely places and not much work was done as Scotland followed a long tradition by crashing out in the first round and England staggered through. They lost on penalties, of course, after an epic game against Argentina in which David Beckham was sent off. The teenager Michael Owen scored one of the greatest World Cup goals ever and was praised by the great Brazilian footballer Pele.
The summer of sport continued as Tim Henman became the first British man since 1973 to reach the semi-finals of Wimbledon. He lost to his American doubles partner Pete Sampras, who went on to win the title for the fifth time in six years. The Olympic sprinter Linford Christie won his libel case against the former bank robber John McVicar, but still had to pay pounds 115,000 costs. The judge, unfamiliar with Mr Christie's groin-hugging Lycra running suits, asked: "What is Linford's lunchbox?" France, the hosts of the World Cup, beat Brazil (whose biggest star, Ronaldo, had suffered a fit before the match) to win it. Many French fans hoped their multi-racial team would be symbolic of a new spirit of tolerance. Or, as one said while he danced in the streets of Paris: "Au revoir, Monsieur Le Pen." More than 25,000 members of the Orange Order took part in a 10- day stand-off with the army after they were prevented from marching down the Garvaghy Road in Drumcree. The stalemate ended in tragedy: the Orangemen stood down after three young brothers were killed in a firebomb attack on a Catholic home. Derek Bentley was posthumously cleared of murdering a policeman 46 years after he was hanged for the crime. Not before time, said his family. So did friends of Nelson Mandela, who married Graca Machel on his 80th birthday. Brian Milton arrived back in Britain after 117 days, having completed the first flight around the world in a microlight aircraft. Seven adventurous insurance workers agreed to walk on hot coals as part of a training exercise, and were subsequently taken to hospital with severe burns.
Terrorists bombed American embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, killing 81 people and injuring 1,200. President Clinton retaliated with air strikes on Afghanistan and the Sudan, saying that the targets were associated with the chief suspect, Osama bin Laden, and that one of them was a weapons factory. Both claims were denied. Whatever the truth, the raids deflected public attention from the Lewinsky affair, at least until the President was forced to testify before a grand jury. Afterwards he went on TV and conceded that he had engaged in a relationship with Monica which was "not appropriate. In fact it was wrong ". Chastity or marriage were the only two lifestyles for Christians, said the Anglican bishops of the world when they met in England for the Lambeth Conference, which takes place every 10 years. Homosexuality was still "against scripture". The retiring film censor, James Ferman, suggested that the laws restricting pornography should be relaxed. The Medicines Control Agency raided a sex shop in Soho and seized 14 imported cases of Viagra, which was not to be licensed until September. Ireland's Olympic triple gold medallist Michelle De Bruin was banned from swimming for four years after being found guilty of tampering with a drugs test. England cricket fans thought they must have taken hallucinogenics when their team beat South Africa to win a Test series against major opposition for the first time in 12 years. Scientists announced that the number of rats in Britain had reached 60 million, one for every human. A car bomb was left next to a school outfitter's in the shopping centre at Omagh, County Down, on a Saturday afternoon, killing 28 people and injuring 200. The group responsible, which called itself the Real IRA, issued an apology.
Gerry Adams renounced violence. The Real IRA declared a ceasefire after its leaders received a quiet but very forceful word from the real IRA. In Spain the Basque separatist group Eta did the same. The Norwegian Prime Minister announced that he was depressed and took a week off. The Dow Jones suffered the second-worst drop in its history and stock markets around the world slumped as the Asian crisis intensified. Russian banks were broke, and half the country was either on strike or had not been paid for months. Nobody was in charge while Boris Yeltsin fought with the Duma over who should be prime minister. Eventually the job went to the compromise candidate Yevgeny Primakov. Bill Clinton visited Moscow, was then applauded in Ireland, and given a standing ovation at the United Nations, on the day that a videotape of his evidence to the grand jury was broadcast all over the world. The independent prosecutor Kenneth Starr published a 445-page report accusing the President of lying under oath. The report attracted much criticism for documenting Clinton's sexual encounters with Monica Lewinsky in great detail. Sixteen prisoners in Ecuador sewed each other's lips together in protest at having been held for a year without trial. Floods in Bangladesh, India and China left at least 50 million people homeless. Helmut Kohl, the German Chancellor who had seen the Berlin Wall come down, was defeated after 16 years in power. The record-breaking runner Florence Griffith-Joyner died at 38. The Queen visited Malaysia to close the Commonwealth Games and came within two miles of the ongoing battles between the police and thousands of anti- government protesters. She signed a football emblazoned with the crest of Manchester United, a club which worried football fans by agreeing to sell to BSkyB for pounds 625m. A survey said British trains were less reliable and punctual than those in India or China - which came as no surprise to Frank Dobson and fellow Labour delegates, delayed on the way to the party conference when a driver failed to turn up on their Virgin train.
Touts charged the public pounds 1,000 a ticket to see a young woman take all her clothes off and simulate sex. The woman received only pounds 40 a night, but she wasn't in it for the money - she was the Hollywood star Nicole Kidman, who boosted her artistic credibility by acting on the London stage in David Hare's The Blue Room. There was at least a slender chance of seeing a woman in the Long Room: the Marylebone Cricket Club voted to admit female members for the first time in two centuries, although most were told to join the 18-year waiting list. The joy expressed by Salman Rushdie when the government of Iran said it would not collude in his murder turned out to be premature. A petition signed by half of the Iranian parliament described the fatwa as a divine order that carried a sentence of "death, today and tomorrow, and to burn in hell for eternity". Hate mail and threats were received by a woman in Norwich who wrote a letter to a local newspaper describing the people of Norfolk as boring. Nato jets were about to strike military targets in Yugoslavia when the US special envoy, Richard Holbrooke, struck a last-minute deal with Slobodan Milosevic, President of Serbia. Unarmed observers were sent to make sure the Serbians withdrew from Kosovo and allowed refugees to return home safely. General Pinochet was arrested as he recovered from a back operation at the London Clinic. A Spanish judge had requested his extradition to face charges of murder and torture. There was uproar in South Africa when the Truth and Reconciliation Commission found that apartheid was a crime against humanity but gross violations of human rights had also been committed by some of those who opposed it, such as Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, Chief Buthelezi and members of the African National Congress. Nobody was quite sure what Ron Davies was guilty of when he resigned suddenly as Secretary of State for Wales, although he did admit to "a serious lapse of judgement" with a stranger on Clapham Common which led to his being robbed at knife-point. The BBC banned all mention of Peter Mandelson's sexuality after the journalist Matthew Parris, discussing the Davies affair on Newsnight, suggested that the Trade and Industry Secretary was gay. A milkman from south Wales, who was given the MBE for services to the community, refused to travel to Buckingham Palace because it would disrupt his round. "The Queen is a very nice lady," said Trevor Jones. "But she isn't worth rushing for."
There was a whiff of revolution in the air at the House of Lords. Peers voted to allow Lord Irvine to wear ordinary trousers and shoes rather than breeches, stockings and buckles. They sent back the Government's plans for electoral reform in the next European elections, and even dared to groan or cheer during the Queen's Speech - unprecedented behaviour which was prompted by the proposal that hereditary peers be abolished. "We were cocked, loaded and ready to go," said a senior Pentagon official, referring to America's preparations for a bombing raid on Iraq. The planes and Cruise missiles were about to be fired when Saddam Hussein made a promise to co-operate with UN weapons inspectors after all. Hurricane Mitch devastated Nicaragua and Honduras in what was described as the worst disaster ever seen in the western hemisphere. Five days of wind and torrential rain killed thousands of people, made at least a million homeless, and left whole towns under water. The hurricane also destroyed the economies of both nations,which were already hamstrung by debt. Britain sent millions of pounds in aid, and called on the IMF and the World Bank to cancel what they were owed. European nations voted to lift the export ban on British beef. The Minister of Agriculture, Nick Brown, was forced to speak publicly about being gay because it had emerged that a tabloid newspaper was on the verge of printing allegations about a past relationship. He carried on working as before. "Stability is a sexy thing," said the Prime Minister - he was talking about the economy. Surgeons at Great Ormond Street separated Siamese twin girls born sharing the same liver.
A painter won the Turner Prize, but the conservative critics still got their annual chance to whinge, because one of the materials used in Chris Ofili's work was dried elephant dung. A member of the public protested by dumping a pile of cow dung on the steps of the Tate Gallery. Scientists announced that they had spent 15 years and pounds 30m pulling apart a worm which liked to live in compost. This was the first time they had managed to unravel the genetic blueprint of a multi-celled animal: Caenorhabditis elegans was so small as to be almost invisible, but its DNA code was 97 million letters long. Oskar Lafontaine, Finance Minister in Gerhard Schroder's new centre-left German government, was branded the most dangerous man in Europe by a British tabloid after he suggested harmonising all of Europe's taxes. Those City cats who had been so fat at the start of the year ended it feeling distinctly queasy, their bonuses having been slashed or postponed after months of global instability and job losses all over Britain. President Clinton visited Israel, and expressed his hopes that the Middle East peace process could be resurrected. Then, with Tony Blair, he launched air and missile strikes against Iraq. John Hume and David Trimble received a joint Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo. "The challenge now," said Hume, "is to grasp and shape history - to show that past grievances and injustices can give way to a new generosity of spirit and action." !Reuse content

It ha..., What are human beings like? How is knowledge possible? What is truth? Where do moral values come from? Questions like these have stood at the center of Western philosophy for centuries. In addressing them, philosophers have made certain fundamental assumptions--that we can know our own minds by introspection, that most of our thinking about the world is literal, and that reason is disembodied and universal--that are now called into question by well-established results of cognitive science. It has been shown empirically that:Most thought is unconscious. We have no direct conscious access to the mechanisms of thought and language. Our ideas go by too quickly and at too deep a level for us to observe them in any simple way.Abstract concepts are mostly metaphorical. Much of the subject matter of philosopy, such as the nature of time, morality, causation, the mind, and the self, relies heavily on basic metaphors derived from bodily experience. What is literal in our reasoning about such concepts is minimal and conceptually impoverished. All the richness comes from metaphor. For instance, we have two mutually incompatible metaphors for time, both of which represent it as movement through space: in one it is a flow past us and in the other a spatial dimension we move along.Mind is embodied. Thought requires a body--not in the trivial sense that you need a physical brain to think with, but in the profound sense that the very structure of our thoughts comes from the nature of the body. Nearly all of our unconscious metaphors are based on common bodily experiences.Most of the central themes of the Western philosophical tradition are called into question by these findings. The Cartesian person, with a mind wholly separate from the body, does not exist. The Kantian person, capable of moral action according to the dictates of a universal reason, does not exist. The phenomenological person, capable of knowing his or her mind entirely through introspection alone, does not exist. The utilitarian person, the Chomskian person, the poststructuralist person, the computational person, and the person defined by analytic philosopy all do not exist.Then what does?Lakoff and Johnson show that a philosopy responsible to the science of mind offers radically new and detailed understandings of what a person is. After first describing the philosophical stance that must follow from taking cognitive science seriously, they re-examine the basic concepts of the mind, time, causation, morality, and the self: then they rethink a host of philosophical traditions, from the classical Greeks through Kantian morality through modern analytic philosopy. They reveal the metaphorical structure underlying each mode of thought and show how the metaphysics of each theory flows from its metaphors. Finally, they take on two major issues of twentieth-century philosopy: how we conceive rationality, and how we conceive language.Philosopy in the Flesh reveals a radically new understanding of what it means to be human and calls for a thorough rethinking of the Western philosophical tradition. This is philosopy as it has never been seen before.Taal: Engels; Afmetingen: 47x236x192 mm; Gewicht: 1,10 kg; Verschijningsdatum: september 1999; Druk: 1; ISBN10: 0465056741; ISBN13: 9780465056743; , Engelstalig | Paperback | 1999, Religie, Spiritualiteit & Filosofie, Filosofie, Studie & Management, Mens & Maatschappij, Filosofie, The Perseus Books Group

[SR: 100070], Paperback, [EAN: 9780465056743], Basic Books, Basic Books, Book, [PU: Basic Books], Basic Books, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson take on the daunting task of rebuilding Western philosophy in alignment with three fundamental lessons from cognitive science: The mind is inherently embodied, thought is mostly unconscious, and abstract concepts are largely metaphorical. Why so daunting? "Cognitive science--the empirical study of the mind--calls upon us to create a new, empirically responsible philosophy, a philosophy consistent with empirical discoveries about the nature of mind," they write. "A serious appreciation of cognitive science requires us to rethink philosophy from the beginning, in a way that would put it more in touch with the reality of how we think." In other words, no Platonic forms, no Cartesian mind-body duality, no Kantian pure logic. Even Noam Chomsky's generative linguistics is revealed under scrutiny to have substantial problems. Parts of Philosophy in the Flesh retrace the ground covered in the authors' earlier Metaphors We Live By, which revealed how we deal with abstract concepts through metaphor. (The previous sentence, for example, relies on the metaphors "Knowledge is a place" and "Knowing is seeing" to make its point.) Here they reveal the metaphorical underpinnings of basic philosophical concepts like time, causality--even morality--demonstrating how these metaphors are rooted in our embodied experiences. They repropose philosophy as an attempt to perfect such conceptual metaphors so that we can understand how our thought processes shape our experience; they even make a tentative effort toward rescuing spirituality from the heavy blows dealt by the disproving of the disembodied mind or "soul" by reimagining "transcendence" as "imaginative empathetic projection." Their source list is helpfully arranged by subject matter, making it easier to follow up on their citations. If you enjoyed the mental workout from Steven Pinker's How the Mind Works, Lakoff and Johnson will, to pursue the "Learning is exercise" metaphor, take you to the next level of training. --Ron Hogan, 930044, Consciousness & Thought, 930040, Philosophy, 5489589011, Politics & Social Sciences, 927726, Subjects, 916520, Books

Here at TPG we love anything that makes international travel easier — meaning we're all thrilled with Global Entry. Being able to fast-track through immigration can save international travelers so much time and hassle, not to mention that TSA PreCheck is a huge added bonus. Today, Madrid-based TPG Contributor Lori Zaino touches on some important things you should know when getting Global Entry.
Living abroad, I head back and forth between the US an average of 10 times per year. After a long trip (sometimes in a very tiny economy seat) I just want to go through the airport quickly and get to my destination, which is why I got Global Entry. The process of obtaining this benefit was relatively painless, and the service has exceeded my expectations — I'm in and out of customs in literally three minutes. Here are some important things you should know if you plan on getting Global Entry, including how you can get it for free, what to expect during the interview, how to use it and more.
1. How To Get It (For Free)
You can apply online for Global Entry and pay the $100 non-refundable application fee. You'll then need to schedule and complete an interview (to check if you're eligible and get more details on how to apply, see this post). However, before throwing down cash, read on because you may be able to get Global Entry for free or gift it to a friend or family member.
The Citi AAdvantage Executive World Elite MasterCard, the Citi Prestige card and the Barclaycard Aviator Silver offer free rebates for Global Entry. Plus, the Platinum Card from American Express, The Business Platinum Card from American Express OPEN and the Platinum Card from American Express Exclusively for Mercedes-Benz waive the fee even for additional cardholders. So if you pay the $175 standard fee for three authorized users ($300 per authorized user for business cards), they can all get rebates for their own Global Entry memberships. Finally, the Ritz-Carlton Rewards Credit Card offers a liberal $300 annual travel credit to use on baggage fees, upgrades, seat selection, lounge access and Global Entry.
Also, most of the credit cards that offer an application fee waiver allow you to buy Global Entry for someone else. So if you know someone with an unused credit on their Amex Platinum, for example, they can charge the fee for your Global Entry renewal and it will be rebated onto their account.
Another way to get Global Entry for free is to have Platinum or Diamond Medallion status with Delta. As part of Choice Benefits, Delta Platinum Medallion members can receive a $100 voucher toward Global Entry enrollment. Delta Diamond Medallion members can receive two $100 vouchers and get to select another choice benefit. Personally, I don't think this is the most valuable choice benefit, but it is an option if necessary.
2. What To Expect In Your Interview
Once you've paid (and hopefully been reimbursed through one of the aforementioned methods) and completed the application, the interview comes next. Make sure to arrive on time and bring:
- A print-out of your letter of conditional approval
- Valid passport(s) or a permanent resident card
- Evidence of residency (e.g., a driver's license with your current address, a mortgage statement, utility bill, etc.)
If things seemed to be backed up and your scheduled interview time seems like forever away, you can always try walking in. Many TPG readers and team members have had success showing up for an interview without an appointment.
Once at the facility, you may have to wait a bit if the Customs and Border Protection officers are busy. I waited about 15-20 minutes for my interview on a Friday morning in the Chicago Enrollment Center, whereas former TPG Travel Editor Melanie Wynne didn't have to wait at all for her interview at the Los Angeles Center. During the 10-15 minute interview, expect to be questioned about your application. The officer I had was friendly and professional and asked to see my conditional approval letter, passport and driver's license. I was then asked to confirm some of the countries I had visited (as per my application) and whether I'd been to each for business or leisure travel. The final step was giving my fingerprints.
A few minutes later, he told me I was indeed confirmed to have Global Entry and that I would receive my official Global Entry card within seven to 10 days (which I did). I was then given my KTN (Known Traveler Number) so that I could enter in my frequent-flyer profiles and hopefully be eligible for TSA PreCheck. It's important to note that you also must activate your card in your GOES account within 30 days of receiving it, though you don't necessarily need it to pass through Global Entry kiosks, which I'll explain further below. Some interviews provide actual kiosk training, but mine did not.
3. How To Use the Global Entry Kiosk
Once you've been approved, using Global Entry is painless. You simply head toward the line (or lack thereof) that says Global Entry when you arrive at immigration. Approach the kiosk, use your fingerprints to identify yourself (sometimes this takes a few tries), answer a couple questions and take your photo. Then, proceed out to baggage claim. You actually don't need your Global Entry card to go through Global Entry kiosks in the US, but you will need it going through Nexus or Sentri points at the Canadian and Mexican borders when coming back into the US for expedited entry.
4. You Typically Get TSA PreCheck with Global Entry.
Entering your KTN in your frequent-flyer profiles (use this post as resource on where to enter in the number for each airline's program) should ensure that you're eligible for TSA PreCheck. I've never been declined PreCheck since I've had Global Entry, but some TPG readers report they have occasionally been denied the privilege. In any case, you should have TSA PreCheck almost all of the time (or perhaps even every time) if you have Global Entry. If you've had other experiences, feel free to share in the comments section below.
5. You Don't Have To Be A US Citizen To Get Global Entry
Global Entry service is actually available to more than just US citizens and permanent residents. Citizens of Germany, Mexico, the Netherlands, Panama, South Korea and — most recently — the UK are also eligible. Canadian citizens and residents are also eligible for Global Entry benefits through the NEXUS program. For more information on how citizens from other countries can apply and get approved for Global Entry, check out the requirements and information here.
The recently approved application process for UK citizens is slightly different: British citizens need to first register through their government website and pay a 42 GBP (about $63) fee. If approved by the UK government, UK citizens can then apply through GOES and pay an $100 fee to the US government.
If you're a US citizen thinking about getting Global Entry and you visit Canada often, you may want to consider getting NEXUS so you can also have expedited customs there. Clearing Canadian customs and immigration can take a while, so this would save you a lot of time. NEXUS is actually cheaper than Global Entry and once you have it (as a US citizen or permanent resident), you also get Global Entry and TSA PreCheck. The downside is you have to go one of the enrollment centers located along the Canadian border.

Subnational credit ratings : a comparative review
This paper surveys methodological issues in subnational credit ratings and highlights key challenges for developing countries. Subnational borrowing from capital markets has been on the rise owing to fiscal decentralization and demand for infrastructure investments. A prerequisite for accessing capital markets, subnational credit ratings have also emerged as a part of broader reform for fiscal sustainability. They facilitate a more transparent budgetary and financial management system. The global financial crisis makes subnational credit ratings more relevant, as they contribute to fiscal risk evaluations and fiscal adjustment. In addition to subnationals' own credit strength, the creditworthiness of the sovereign and the intergovernmental fiscal system are among the most critical rating criteria. Implicit and contingent liabilities are integral to the rating process. Indirect debt instruments including off-balance-sheet financing create fiscal risks. The ongoing financial crisis has reinforced the rating focus on the management of liquidity, debt structure, and off-balance-sheet liabilities.

How I Met Your Aeros: Tyler Holt
As the new guy in Akron Aeros' locker room, outfielder Tyler Holt knows his place. "The guys are older, and things are a lot different here as in you do your own business and stay to yourself, he said. "You don't want to come in here and try to break up or distract anyone that has their routine, so I'm just trying to get a feel for those guys and how things are done here and obviously follow by example."
Holt may be minding his manners in the locker room, but if he's not careful, his play will start distracting his teammates. His raw stats still leave some to be desired (.261/.348/.336 slash line between Carolina and Akron), but Holt always leaves it all out on the field.
A lot of players get in trouble for trying to do too much, but Holt is trying to learn not to beat himself and to let his natural talent win out. "I'm so emotionally into the game and wear my emotions on my sleeve," he said. "I have to work on controlling that to a certain extent and showing the positive side more than the negative. I think I've been doing a better job of that and the team feeds off that."
Part of not trying to do too much comes with Holt accepting that his role is to be the tablesetter for the middle of the lineup. When asked about his approach, Holt said that "my job is to get on base. I'm not really hitting home runs or for power, so hopefully I get on base, steal a couple of bases here and there, and just kind of set the table for the guys behind me so they can get their RBIs in and score runs."
In addition to setting the table for the other hitters, Holt tries his best to help them out when he's on the basepaths. Since he's known to have good speed, Holt likes "to be in the back of their [the pitcher's] mind. I don't want to be too attention-drawing, but if I can just have it in the back of their mind to where they slide-step and take a few MPH off their fastball or kind of be thinking 'hey, is he still here?' and throw a pitch not where they want to go, I think that will help the hitters a lot. Obviously they don't want me to steal, so hopefully they [the hitters] will see a lot more fastballs, and if they do hit one in the gap, I have the speed to get home or take that extra base or advantage of things that happen in the field."
Chicks may dig the long ball, but Holt does the dirty little things that help a ballteam win games. His contact skills and speed combine with his defense in center field to add value to an already deep Akron outfield. Since he's the new guy on the block, Holt is leaning on his teammates to help him get a pulse on the Eastern League.
"Obviously I'm at a new ballpark, so I have to figure out how to play each field and each hitter," Holt said. "I have to get some input from [Thomas] Neal or [Nick] Weglarz, or [Jordan] Henry and the guys out there that know the hitters and know the field. I'm kind of just being a follower right now and letting them show me the ropes."
Holt admits that he doesn't have much power in his game right now, but he's hopeful that he might grow into a little more. Considering he's only 23, there may still be some late-blooming coming his way.
"Everyone has said that power is the last thing that comes," Holt said. "Sometimes I show it, sometimes I don't. I feel like everyone knows that the minor leagues is a process and I feel like that will come with time if I keep on just fine-tuning my swing and my approach."
He may still be a few steps from the ultimate goal of making the big leagues, but right now Holt is just focused on being the best player he can be. "I'm just trying to stay within myself and be who I am," Holt said. As long as he does "what I can do and let things happen," there's no reason to believe that Holt won't put it all together and become an option for the big league club a few years down the road.

During the Christmas season, people tend to be more nice.
We should be like that every single day and that statement is precise.
Every day of the year should be like Christmas time.
If it was that way, there would be less hate and crime.
It's important to always be good to others.
In the eyes of God, we're all sisters and brothers.
Be kind to your fellow man, that's very important to remember.
I hope everybody has a Merry Christmas on the 25th of December.

China Cracks Down Again On Internet Regulations, Forces Users To Register Full Names
Just this past week, the nation initiated tighter Internet regulations and controls, which made legal the deletion of posts or entire pages that are said to contain "illegal" information. Naturally, it's pretty vague what justifies "illegal." Moreover, the rules now require ISPs to hand over information related to such matters, or face fines and punishment that presumably no business would want on their docket.
What's crazier still is this: the new rules require Internet users in China to register with their real names when signing up with network providers. In other words, no more hiding from proxy use. Monitoring has long since occurred in China, but now the country is cracking down even more in order to put real names to real Internet shenanigans. Internet users in the nation, at least in part, are pretty upset with the changes. But honestly, it's about par for the course in China. For some reason, we don't foresee things getting any more lax when it comes to Internet use over there.

Clinton Woods, who likes to be known as the Cinderella man of British boxing, continues to ride in the golden coach he climbed aboard three years ago when he acquired the International Boxing Federation world light-heavyweight title. In the early hours of next Sunday he finally goes to the ball in Tampa, Florida, meeting ex-champion Antonio Tarver in the second of a trilogy of mega-dollar match-ups featuring Britons invading US rings.
Sandwiched between the Las Vegas excursions of Ricky Hatton against Floyd Mayweather and Joe Calzaghe, who faces Bernard Hopkins the following weekend, Woods gets his biggest payday for facing an opponent last seen scuffling to a points win over Rocky Balboa. Tarver played the world champion Mason Dixon and, though victorious in the screen fight, the word is that he was actually knocked off his feet by the 61-year-old Sylvester Stallone when they sparred in rehearsals. That should give Woods some heart in Tarver's home town. Not that he seems to need it.
Of Britain's five remaining world champions the Sheffield man has had such a low profile that American fans could be excused for thinking Clinton Woods a place rather than a person. But they could be about to discover he is not only a decent fighter but a bit of a card, who reckons that if it was not for boxing it might not be an IBF label attached to him but an Asbo.
He explains: "I boxed as a kid until I was 16, then went on the piss for five years. I went back to boxing because I got fed up doing community service. I had turned into a bit of a slob, tits hanging down to me toes and belly over me belt. I really didn'tgo back to boxing to win anything, just to get fit and keep out of serious trouble. But I just kept on winning, and winning. Boxing turned my life around, what has happened to me in the last five years is just unbelievable. Now I am into big bucks."
So has the world title changed his lifestyle? He grins: "Well, I have bought a caravan so me and the family can go to Skeggy [Skegness] whenever we want..."
He is 34, four years younger than Tarver, and success came late in a 45-fight career dogged by elbow injuries. He hankers after a domestic showdown with Calzaghe, but this is probably as vain a hope as Junior Witter's of fighting Hatton. Both are seasoned British world champions who can claim to be the best in their division. But sadly boxing's politics do not work like that.
Woods says his immediate ambition is to beat Tarver in this fourth defence, have another big-money fight, and then see what happens. "I'm as fit as I've ever been. A boxer knows when it's time to quit. Some may deny it, but I'll know when to pack it in."
Southpaw Tarver, aka "The Magic Man", is one of the motormouths of US boxing. Becoming a movie star hardly diminished his ego. He has twice beaten the once-formidable Roy Jones Jnr, but his 30 fights include four defeats, one in 2006 against Hopkins, the man who plans to be Calzaghe's nemesis. Calzaghe thinks it should be comfortable for Woods. "Tarver's crap," he said. "I've never rated him. Clinton is a good fighter who's worked hard to get where he is."
Woods should not be deluded. Tarver's bravado comes with a quality pedigree: Olympic silver and a world amateur title. But how much has his temporary defection from blowbiz to showbiz drained his desire for taking punches that are not choreographed in this production of Cinderella and the Rocky fella?

Particularly for click-to-play, it would be nice to have a more versatile test plugin. For example, we need to be able to test handling different mime types, having multiple different plugins, etc.
We typically just add whatever functions to the testplugin you need for testing. You can pretty easily add additional MIME types to the same plugin. It would be more work and we have avoided adding a new plugin mainly because getting that all installed into the test infrastructure is more complicated. Why do you need multiple plugins?
We need multiple plugins to test the case where, for instance, a page with both java and flash only loads the flash content.
I think some of my suggestions from bug 743429 would be the easiest way to approach this. We could pretty easily make a few copies of the test plugin and have them register for different mime types based on their filenames.
Created attachment 623241 [details] [diff] [review]
I don't think having a plugin inspect its own filename is going to be the easiest way to do this. (Note that you can't just trivially inspect /proc/self/exe, because when calling NP_GetMIMEDescription on mac/linux, this gives firefox's name. For windows, you have to define the mime type ahead of time in the dll resource file, apparently.)
In an effort to not copy the test plugin wholesale, I wrote a patch that essentially re-links the test plugin but redefines some key symbols (mime type, name, description) and installs a second test plugin. This way, the plugins behave the exact same way and code changes are automatically kept in sync.
It would be great to have some feedback as to whether or not this is the kind of thing we want to do here.

I think the sanest way to do this would just be to use preprocessor defines. You could either:
a) Just do DEFINES += -DPLUGIN_NAME="Second Test Plug-in" ... in the Makefile, and change the code here to be #ifndef PLUGIN_NAME #define PLUGIN_NAME ...
b) Add some other define like -DUSE_ALTERNATE_PLUGIN_NAME and ifdef on that.

Yeah, defsym was a bad idea.
The problem with using -DPLUGIN_NAME or something is that each source file only gets compiled once, so specifying a different PLUGIN_NAME later has no effect. My solution this time is to just have two different files that define the name/description/mimetype - one in testplugin and the other in secondplugin. When linking the final libnptest.so/libnpsecontest.so, they use different object files for those strings and thus end up with the right values.
Oh, I see. Alternately, you could just have nptest.cpp get compiled twice with different defines. Either way is fairly straightforward.

Kind of sucks to duplicate all this stuff. Maybe you could factor most of the makefile out into a testplugin.mk file and include it from both locations? You could change the relative paths to be $(topsrcdir)/dom/plugins/test/testplugin/foo if you had to.
I would like to review this whenever it is ready.

At least 119 mutations in the gene encoding Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. These SOD1 mutations are believed to result in a toxic property, although the nature of this toxic property has not been identified. In preliminary studies we compared the dynamic properties of thirteen purified SOD1 variant enzymes using hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry and identified a shared property, namely structural and dynamic change affecting the electrostatic loop of SOD1. We hypothesize that other modifications of SOD1, including native and non-native post-translational modifications, also perturb the SOD1 electrostatic loop and will test this hypothesis using hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry. Although the biological consequences of increased electrostatic loop mobility are not fully understood, this common property would be consistent with hypotheses that SOD1 mutations exert toxicity via aggregation or aberrant association with other cellular constituents.
. The neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS, have proven extraordinarily difficult to treat. This is due in part to the fact that researchers do not know the cause of >90% of ALS. We propose that the aggregation (sticking together) of a protein named SOD1 is involved in ALS progression, and will test if a section of the protein called the electrostatic loop is damaged in ALS.

5 Easy Blogging Tips for New Bloggers
A few weeks ago a friend of mine asked me to meet for coffee to help provide some guidance on her newborn blog.
"I'd be happy to meet with you, but you do realize my blog is awfully small and I'm not sure if I have a whole lot of advice worth sharing,right?" I responded.
"Oh, pu-lease. You've been blogging for almost two years now; surely you know more than I do at this point."
And, so, I packed up my laptop and drove my unworthy, inadequate-feeling self down to the coffee shop to meet my friend and, if nothing else, at least teach her how to turn off the captcha code on her blog's "comments" section.
Over a couple cups of coffee and an orange scone, I disclosed some of the blogging "secrets" I use in my own blog. This conversation with my friend helped me recognize some of the skills acquired on my journey these past couple of years that have not only improved my personal blog but my general writing skills, as well. Here, I would like to share five (relatively) easy tips to help new bloggers build their reading audiences.
1. Write quality content. Many bloggers attempt to tackle personal and sometimes controversial issues such as politics, religion, parenting, and relationships, and there are certainly large audiences looking for fresh perspectives on these topics. However, improper grammar and sentence structure can hamper your ability to succinctly verbalize your viewpoint as well as diminish your credibility. Before you hit "publish" make sure you take the time to read your piece with a critical eye toward its content. Check for obvious errors in spelling, subject-verb agreement, and punctuation before sending your thoughts out into the worldwide web.
2. You possess a unique voice; make sure you use it. No one else can read your mind and write your thoughts. This is what makes your blog special. When you write, make sure you are not simply regurgitating others' thoughts on a subject. Provide readers with your personal point of view: Why is the topic important to you? What experience do you have regarding a particular subject? Do you have a different interpretation of the events surrounding a popular issue that others need to hear about? This is what blogging is all about – offering readers a different outlook on life and providing opportunities for thoughtful dialogue and reflection.
3. Don't be afraid to share your writing. Social media and blogging go hand-in-hand. Create Twitter and Facebook accounts that reflect your blog's theme. Actively utilizing social media not only helps you find other like-minded bloggers, it also provides a platform and audience for your writing.
4. Don't forget the three R's: read, read, read. One of the best ways to build a loyal blog audience is to find other blogs similar to yours, read them, and leave thoughtful, topical comments. Develop a relationship with some of your favorite bloggers. This is how I built most of my blog audience. I have a core group of blogger friends who visit each others' blogs each week and participate in an ongoing dialogue through comments on various posts. Additionally, as you read through the comments on some of your favorite blogs, pick a few that appeal to you and visit their blogs, as well. Your community will expand very quickly when you reach out and start conversations with those whose writing you admire and respect.
5. Lastly, look for guest posting opportunities. Featuring a guest writer on your blog offers a fresh voice and different perspective to your regular readers. Conversely, writing a guest post for another blog introduces your blog to a wider audience.
Most of all, have fun with your blog. Whether your blogging goals are to make money, promote a business, keep an on-line journal for your family and friends, or flex your writing muscles in an effort to create a larger piece of literary work, blogging not only provides a valuable creative outlet but also helps you improve your communication and technology skills. As your audience grows, your interaction with your readers will also most likely increase. Embrace this natural progression and allow yourself the flexibility to change and adapt your blog to reflect your own personal growth. Over time you will be amazed by your ability to use your talent to reach others through the written word and, if desired, make an impact on the world around you.

LIVONIA, MICH. (Nov. 7, 10:20 p.m. ET) — For General Motors Co., the Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Denali are a big part of its future sales plans. What consumers likely will never realize is the engineering breakthroughs for GM and its supplier Inteva Products LLC that went into the crossover vehicles' interiors. The Society of Plastics Engineers, however, noted the developments by awarding the all-polyolefin instrument panel both the Body Interior award and the Grand Award during the 2012 Automotive Innovation Awards, presented Nov. 7 in Livonia.
