Surprise, Shock, and Gospel: A Public Lecture on the Parables of Jesus
November 29
Not a Number Night
School of Arts and Sciences | Art BFA Program
The BFA in Studio Art offers six professional concentrations: Ceramics, Drawing, Metals, Painting, Printmaking, and Visual Communication Design. All of the BFA studio concentrations focus intensively in studio work, rely on skilled knowledge of the uses of technology, and provide exposure to visiting artists, field trips to galleries and artworks. The senior year focuses on senior studio, professional practices, and knowledge of and participation in advocacy in the arts and social justice concerns. The year culminates with a formal exhibition in the Florence O'Donnell Wasmer Gallery.
Degree Requirements
The BFA degree rests on Studio Foundation Studies, a core of courses that offer the language, skills and critique that is common to all fields of the visual arts within the first levels of ceramics, drawing, metals, painting, printmaking, and visual communication design.

Little is known about the reproductive habits of deep-living squids. Using remotely operated vehicles in the deep waters of the Monterey Submarine Canyon, we have found evidence of mating, i.e. implanted sperm packages, on similar body locations in males and females of the rarely seen mesopelagic squid Octopoteuthis deletron. Equivalent numbers of both sexes were found to have mated, indicating that male squid routinely and indiscriminately mate with both males and females. Most squid species are short-lived, semelparous (i.e. with a single, brief reproductive period) and promiscuous. In the deep, dark habitat where O. deletron lives, potential mates are few and far between. We suggest that same-sex mating behaviour by O. deletron is part of a reproductive strategy that maximizes success by inducing males to indiscriminately and swiftly inseminate every conspecific that they encounter.
1. Introduction
Squids are highly diverse and populous in the deep oceans, and they play a vital role in meso-and bathypelagic food webs [1]. The reproductive behaviour of deep-sea squids, however, remains unknown. The investigation of dead animals (i.e. from trawls and predator stomachs) has revealed clues that deep-sea squid mating behaviour is mechanistically different from that known in coastal squid [2–4]. Direct observations of mating behaviour of deep-sea squid are restricted to a single observation of a possible mating event [5]. The transition from indirect to directed methods, e.g. remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) [6] for exploration and research, has shed new light on our knowledge of deep-sea squid behaviour [7–9]. Based on ROV observations, we describe mating habits of Octopoteuthis deletron, a deep-sea squid from the Eastern Pacific, with hook-lined arms and a suite of photophores on the ventral side and arm-tips.
Males of the genus Octopoteuthis transfer spermatophores, complex structures containing millions of sperm, using a long terminal organ often referred to as a penis. During opposite-sex mating, spermatophores are deposited on the female, where they discharge sperm-containing sacs called spermatangia that implant into the female's tissue. Empty spermatangia remain attached to a female's body and provide evidence of recent mating [2,4,10]. We found such evidence during in situ observations of O. deletron in both males and females. We report here for the first time in invertebrates that intraspecific same-sex sexual behaviour (SSB) [11] happens as frequently as opposite-sex sexual behaviour in this species.
2. Material and methods
Our results are based on video footage of 108 specimens of O. deletron. Live observations were recorded by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute's ROVs between 1992 and 2011, mostly over the Monterey Submarine Canyon, CA, between 400 and 800 m depth. Each video sequence was reviewed, and frame-grabs were taken of specific body regions. The individual squid in these frame grabs were then examined for the presence of (i) implanted spermatangia (i.e. discharged spermatophores) that store sperm on a female's body until fertilization and (ii) rugose tissue, a deeply wrinkled semi-gelatinous tissue found on the anterior ventral third of the mantles of mature or maturing females (figure 1a). This tissue was recognizable in ROV video footage of an immature female as small as 100 mm mantle length (ML) that was subsequently collected and examined. We used the presence or absence of rugose mantle tissue to determine the sex of individuals in video footage. Each animal was visually divided into four ventral and four dorsal locations: the arms, head, mantle and fins, and the tail. Where possible, the number of spermatangia in a location was counted from frame grabs; if the frame grabs did not show enough detail to allow counts, only spermatangia presence was recorded. We physically examined, and determined ML and body mass (BM), and the sex and maturity stage of five individuals (two males and three females) collected during ROV dives and preserved in 5 per cent formalin. Observations on numerous mature male and female specimens from museum collections further supported the conclusion that rugose tissue was only present in female O. deletron. This sexually dimorphic character was previously reported also for Octopoteuthis sicula [10]. Spermatangia implanted in the skin of preserved specimens were counted, measured and photographed.
3. Results
In total, 108 individual O. deletron were recorded on ROV video footage. Fifteen juveniles were seen, and for 54 individuals the footage was not clear enough to determine maturity stage, sex or the presence of spermatangia. We could differentiate between sexes in 39 animals: 19 females and 20 males, consistent with a 1 : 1 population sex ratio. Of these individuals, nine males and 10 females had groups of spermatangia in both dorsal and ventral body locations (figures 1,2). Males were as likely to be found mated as females were (Fisher's exact test: p > 0.05). Although O. deletron was observed in all months of the year, mated individuals were only encountered between June and December. Spermatangia had a bulbous proximal portion (approx. 1.5 mm long and approx. 0.8 mm wide) containing the sperm, and a distal, open-ended, trailing tube (2–4 mm long and 0.1 mm wide; figure 1b). Of the nine specimens on which we could count spermatangia from video footage: two males had 15 and 25 spermatangia, and seven females had spermatangia numbers ranging from 21 to 147. Spermatangia implantation occurred principally on the dorsal mantle and fins in both sexes, and was also common on the ventral arms of females (figure 2). A mature male O. deletron (ML 152 mm, BM 241 g) had 1646 spermatophores of approximately 14 mm length in its reproductive system.
4. Discussion
SSB in marine invertebrates is very poorly known. SSB has been documented in the sequentially hermaphroditic marine gastropod Crepidula fornicata [12] and although dissimilar to what we report here, SSB has been reported before in cephalopods. Two male deep-sea incirrate octopods of different species were observed in a copulation event at 2512 m depth [13]. In the ommastrephid squid Illex coindetii, among 179 examined males, one mated male was found [14]. This is the only record of a mated male ommastrephid in the literature. Since this squid family sustains enormous commercial fisheries, and biological examinations of trawl caught individuals are numerous, we can safely assume that male-to-male mating is a very rare phenomenon in this family.
In giant squid (Architeuthis sp.) from the Atlantic that were either collected by net, washed up on the shore or found floating on the sea surface, seven of 12 mature males had spermatangia implanted, mainly in their ventral arms [15–17]. Similarly, four trawled male O. sicula were found to have spermatangia implanted in their ventral arms [10]. In the absence of direct observation of undisturbed specimens, it is questionable if the spermatangia in these males were the result of SSB or were caused by trauma in the trawl, as pressure on the terminal organ induces release of spermatophores and subsequent implantation. Accidental self implantation during mating with a female is also a possibility.
The male O. deletron we observed had spermatangia in locations other than the ventral arms, in similar locations to those of mated females. Because the spermatangia were in locations that are outside of the reach of their own terminal organs, we conclude that the spermatangia on these males were implanted by other males.
Although SSB has been documented in a variety of animals [11], including cephalopods [18], O. deletron is unique in that we found equal proportions of mated males and mated females. This suggests that SSB is as common as opposite-sex sexual behaviour in this species. The number of spermatophores produced by a male O. deletron (over 1600) far exceeds the number of spermatangia found on any individual after mating, indicating that O. deletron is capable of multiple mating events. While promiscuity is common in cephalopods [19], the risks and costs of same-sex mating raise the question of its apparent negative evolutionary value.
The sensory means by which squids find mates in the deep sea are unstudied. In the dark waters that adult O. deletron inhabit (400–800 m depth), downwelling sunlight cannot aid much in recognizing potential mates. Mesopelagic squid in general have highly developed eyes with visual acuity sufficient to allow the detection of point sources and patterns of bioluminescence [20]. The light-producing organs on the tips of O. deletron's arms can be turned on and off rapidly and modulated by overlying chromatophores, either simultaneously or independently, and could potentially be used in gender recognition, as could the many other photophores they possess. Likewise, this species is capable of producing a wide variety of pigmentation patterns using the chromatophores on its body [7]. This capacity could also enhance communication by acting as fluctuating light shutters of the photophores, as in the arm-tips. However, in spite of the potential for recognizing mates and the relative availability of members of both sexes (a 1 : 1 sex ratio), we observed statistically indistinguishable proportions of mated males and females. We conclude, therefore, that male O. deletron mate non-selectively with any conspecific.
A failure to exhibit sex discrimination and the acceptance of same-sex mates are generally considered a recognition error with an attendant reproductive cost [12]. Squid typically have a single, brief reproductive period and then they die [19]. Mating in O. deletron, as in many other squids, is probably rapid, as spermatophores are quickly passed between partners and spermatangia release follows soon thereafter [19]. Mature males and maturing mated females of O. deletron are of the same size and have only minor morphological differences. We have only observed them as solitary individuals. The combination of a solitary life, poor sex differentiation, the difficulty of locating a conspecific and the rapidity of the sexual encounter probably results in the observed high frequency of spermatangia-bearing males in this species. Apparently, the costs involved in losing sperm to another male are smaller than the costs of developing sex discrimination and courtship, or of not mating at all. This behaviour further exemplifies the 'live fast and die young' life strategy of many cephalopods [19].

Stockton, Calif. - University of the Pacific Head Men's Basketball Coach Bob Thomason has announced that he will retire after the 2012-13 season.
Thomason will leave Pacific after a quarter century at his alma mater, leading the Tigers to an unprecedented NCAA Tournament run. Men's Basketball has made eight NCAA Tournament appearances and is the only Big West Conference team since 1993 to advance to the Second Round in consecutive seasons. With a win over former league rival Utah State on Dec. 3, 2011, he became the Big West Conference's all-time wins leader. He brings 414 career wins into the 2012-13 season at Pacific and an all-time league mark of 234 Big West league victories. Under Thomason, the Tigers have had nine 20-win seasons and have won 75 percent of their home games, getting 236 Spanos Center victories. He has been a part of 470 wins at Pacific, as a player (1968-1971) and coach (1988-present).
"I have had an unbelievable experience coaching at Pacific for the past 24 years," said Thomason. "The players, assistant coaches, administrators, faculty, support staff, boosters, and fans from Stockton have given me great support, and I really appreciate their support. To be able to coach the Tigers for 25 years will be a true pleasure. After next season, it will be the perfect time for me to retire from Pacific. We will have a team that can compete for the Big West Championship, and the team will be even better the following season. It was important for me to leave a good team for the next coaching staff. Also, it's a great time for a new coach to lead the Tigers into the West Coast Conference in 2013-14. I will always be a great fan of Pacific Basketball and of all Pacific sports, and look forward to spending more quality time with my family. Thank you Pacific and the Stockton community."
"Bob has taken Pacific's Basketball program to new heights and given us all wonderful memories," said Vice President for External Affairs and Athletics Ted Leland. "His impact on the lives of his student-athletes and in the community has been innumerable. He has been an ambassador for Pacific in the community and around the country since his first day on campus. We want to thank Bob for all that he has done for the University and we are looking forward to a great final year. We will miss him."
"I enjoyed working with Bob, he was dedicated to seeing his student-athletes graduate," said former Pacific Director of Athletics Lynn King. "He was an excellent coach for Pacific because he was successful on the court and he also pushed his players for academic success."
"Bob has been more than a friend in my 20 years here at Pacific," said 20th year softball head coach Brian Kolze. "He has been a tremendous mentor and peer whenever I have ever needed guidance or help. His level of passion for coaching and the University of the Pacific is something we will miss yet should all strive for. Having grown up in Stockton, I was fortunate enough to watch Bob compete as an athlete and now as a coach. To see how he has connected to the University his athletes and the community during these many years, has been amazing. If we learn nothing else from the man at least we have learned, integrity, competitiveness, passion and of course how to bleed Orange and Black!"
He has led the Tigers to seven post-season appearances, including NCAA Tournament First Round victories in 2003-04 and 2004-05. It was the first (and only) time since 1993 that a Big West team won an NCAA Tournament game in consecutive years. The Tigers also advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 1996-97 and 2005-06. In 1997-98, Pacific won the regular season Big West crown and advanced to the first round of the National Invitation Tournament. Pacific advanced to the semi-final round of the CollegeInsider.com tournament in 2008-09 and to the championship game in 2009-10.
Bob's accolades are nearly as numerous as his victories with Big West Conference Coach of the Year honors coming in 1992-93, 1996-97, 2003-04, 2004-05 and 2005-06. After setting a school mark by leading the Tigers to a 27-4 record in 2004-05, Thomason was named as a finalist for the CollegeInsider.com Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year award and received USBWA District 9 Coach of the Year honors. He was also named CollegeInsider.com Big West Conference Coach of the Year in 2009-10. Entering the 2011-12 season, he was the 26th winningest active coach and ninth on the list of Most Seasons With Current School.
His legacy is certain at Pacific, not only in the wins on the floor, but the wins off the court. Under Thomason's guidance, 96% of his student-athletes that have finished their eligibility at Pacific have earned their degrees. Pacific has a long history of its athletes achieving the highest GPAs in the Big West Conference -- with graduation rates and GPAs that often are much higher than the NCAA average. As Thomason has coached, recruited and driven the Pacific program for the last 24 years, he has posted four All-Americans (Michael Olowokandi, Miah Davis, David Doubley, Christian Maraker), a number one overall NBA draft pick (Olowokandi) and 59 All-Big West Conference awards.
Bob's life-long journey in basketball began when he was recruited from Clayton Valley High School in Concord by Tiger Hall of Fame head coach Dick Edwards to the Stockton campus. A pinpoint shooter from the outside, Thomason averaged 17.2 points per game even before the three-point shot become a staple of the game. He earned All-West Coast Athletic Conference honors after his senior season and began coaching soon thereafter at Stagg High School. He went on to outstanding stints at both Columbia College and Cal State Stanislaus before being introduced as Pacific's new head coach in July of 1988.

- 1 Basic Information
- 2 Known Issues
- 3.1 When should I create a Remote Project and when should I create a Synchronized Project?
- 3.2 How do I setup a synchronized project that works with a CVS repository?
- 3.3 How do I setup synchronization for an existing C/C++ or Fortran project, including ones that use CVS, Git, SVN, etc.?
- 3.4 Why doesn't a new file that I added on the remote machine appear in my workspace, and how can I add it?
- 3.5 How do I know if a current project is a synchronized project?
- 3.6 I get a Merge conflict for a file that changed both locally and remotely. How do I recover from this?
- 3.7 How do I convert an existing remote project to be a synchronized project?
- 4 Change Log
Basic Information
Refer to Synchronized Projects User Guide for basic information.
The July 2011 PTP user meeting user-call recording includes a live demonstration of how to setup and configure a synchronized project. (Note: convert to full-screen viewing via the green square in the lower right corner of the screen to be able to read the contents of the demo screens.)
Known Issues
- The "Build directory" in ('Project' -> 'Properties' -> 'C/C++ Build') does not show the correct build location for remote configurations. Builds should still run in the proper location, though, if set correctly in ('Project' -> 'Properties' -> 'C/C++ Build' -> 'Synchronize').
- There is no wizard to convert existing remote projects to synchronized projects. (See FAQ item below for a solution)
- After converting a local project, users should copy the new Remote configuration to create additional remote sites. Copying and altering local configurations will not work bug 358141.
- There are some potential pitfalls when configuring projects
- On the first page of the new project wizard, users should not select a file system other than the default. This directory must be local. Users specify a remote location on the last page of the wizard bug 356208.
- Users should avoid changing configurations inside the new project wizard, as this will cause errors. Instead, add and change configurations after project creation.
- The Workspace configuration only appears after the project is created.
- The tool chain selected during creation is used for both the local machine and remote machine. Users need to adjust this after project creation.
- For remote configurations, only the "Sync Builder" works, although other options are available ('Project' -> 'Properties' -> 'C/C++ Build' -> 'Tool Chain Editor'). The "Sync Builder" is set as the default.
- Attempting to change multiple configurations does not work correctly.
When should I create a Remote Project and when should I create a Synchronized Project?
Remote projects exist only on a single remote site. So they are a better choice if you need a simple, quick way to work remotely. Synchronized projects add the capability to use multiple remote sites and synchronize between them. The underlying Git tool makes sync'ing very efficient, leading to less network lag time, especially for large projects. Also, synchronized projects exist and can be built both locally and remotely. Even if you are not interested in compiling locally, this can be handy if the connection is unavailable or slow. For example, you can work on the project locally and then, once the connection becomes available, sync your changes to the remote site.
Other benefits of Sync'd projects include
- Local editing offers improvements over editing remote file (some features are disabled in the C/C++ remote editor) (Example: greying out of inactive code works in local editor)
- You can have multiple remote configurations and switch between building on different remote systems.
- The Fortran indexer can run on a local project but not a remote project
A remote project doesn't need to bring the source files to the local client until you request a file for editing or other operation. A synchronized project brings all the files to the local client upon initial sync then only needs to sync changes later, so editing of already-synced files is faster.
A synchronized project will need more networking initially to do the initial sync, but subsequent requests such as to fetch a file for editing are not needed since the file exists locally.
How do I setup a synchronized project that works with a CVS repository?
- Create a new CVS project as usual (right-click in 'Project Explorer' -> 'New' -> 'Other...' -> 'CVS' -> 'Projects from CVS")
- Be sure to select "Check out as a project configured using the New Project Wizard" on the "Check Out As" screen
- After the CVS wizard ends, the "New Project Wizard" begins.
- Create an empty Synchronized project
- Files in the CVS repository are automatically imported on project creation
- Check out a project from CVS into a local project as usual (Check out as C or Fortran project if it isn't already)
- File > New > Other... and under Remote, select "Convert C/C++ or Fortran Project to a Synchronized Project" then select the project and setup (or reuse) a remote connection. Be sure to specify a directory on the remote system for 'Location' where the files will be sync'd to.
How do I setup synchronization for an existing C/C++ or Fortran project, including ones that use CVS, Git, SVN, etc.?
The conversion wizard, described in the User Guide, should work for all of these cases. Synchronization works independently of the user's version control system.
Why doesn't a new file that I added on the remote machine appear in my workspace, and how can I add it?
On project creation, all existing remote files are downloaded. Additional new files are not downloaded, though, which prevents the downloading of files that are created during compilation. One workaround is to add the file locally, synchronize, and then edit the file remotely. This works because new local files are synchronized. Also, changes to remote files that are synchronized will be downloaded.
How do I know if a current project is a synchronized project?
Go to the properties page ('Project' -> 'Properties' -> 'C/C++ Build') and see if the 'Synchronize' page is available.
I get a Merge conflict for a file that changed both locally and remotely. How do I recover from this?
Delete the file on the remote system and re-synchronize.
How do I convert an existing remote project to be a synchronized project?
This is currently not supported, but... You can create a new synchronized project and point to the existing location on the remote system. This does not affect the settings of the original remote project.

I recently ran across a poem which used to be attributed to Theocritus (Kiessling makes it number 30), but which Gow (O.C.T. editor of Bucolici Graeci) puts after Bion in the anonymous section.
It's a very curious thing, about the boar who castrated and killed Adonis getting interrogated by Adonis' girlfriend, Aphrodite. The boar claims he didn't want to kill the boy:
ou)k h)/qelon pata/cai:[/face] 27
[face=spionic]a)ll' w(j a)/galm' e)sei=don,
kai\ mh\ fe/rwn to\ kau=ma,
gumno\n to\n ei)=xe mhro/n
e)maino/man fila=sai[/face]
(Dialect note: Bucolic Doric! [face=spionic]e)maino/man[/face] = [face=spionic]e)maino/mhn[/face]).
The syntax of the lines I've underlined is driving me nuts, in particular, the exact syntax of [face=spionic]to\n ei)=xe[/face]. At the moment I assume it is a relative clause, mostly because I can't work it in otherwise.
"I did not want to kill (him)
But I saw (him) like a statue,
and not bearing (not able to bear) the burning desire,
his thigh, which he had naked,
I was mad to kiss."
Can anyone chart out what exactly is going on with the syntax?

The Life of Buddha, by A. Ferdinand Herold, tr. by Paul C Blum [1922], at sacred-texts.com
p. 243
ONE day, he returned to the country of Rajagriha.
In a field, not far from the city, he came upon a brahman named Bharadvaja. It was the harvest season, and the brahman and his servants were joyously celebrating. They were laughing and singing as the Master went by. He held out his alms-bowl, and those who recognized him, greeted him and made him many friendly offerings. This displeased Bharadvaja. He went up to the Master, and he said to him in a loud voice:
"Monk, tarry not in our midst; you set an evil example. We work, we that are here, and with watchful eyes, we observe the changes of seasons. When it is time to plow, my servants plow; when it is time to sow, they sow; and I plow and sow with them. Then the day comes when we harvest the fruit of our labor. We provide our own food, and when it is stored away, we have good reason to rest and play. While you, you roam the streets and walk the roads, and the only trouble you deign to take is to hold out a bowl to those you
p. 244
meet. It would be better far for you to work; it would be better far to plow and sow."
The Master smiled and answered:
"Friend, like you I plow and sow, and when my work is done, I eat."
"You plow? You sow?" said Bharadvaja. "How can I believe that? Where are your cattle? Where is your grain? Where is your plow?"
The Master said:
"Purity of understanding, that is the glorious seed I sow. Works of holiness are the rain that falls upon the fertile earth where the seed sprouts and ripens. And mine is a mighty plow: it has wisdom for its plowshare, the law for its handles, and an active faith is the powerful bullock yoked to its pole. Desire is uprooted like weeds in the fields I plow, and I gather in the richest of harvests, nirvana."
He continued on his way. But the brahman Bharadvaja followed him; he would now hear the sacred word.
They entered the city. On the public square, a large crowd was watching a troop of dancers. The daughter of the leader -was attracting particular attention. Such grace and beauty had seldom been seen, and, whenever she appeared, those who were not master of their passions burned with the
p. 245
desire to possess her. Her name was Kuvalaya.
She had just finished dancing. Ardent eyes were still fastened upon her. She was aware of her power, and full of pride and audacity, she shouted 'to the crowd:
"Admire me, my lords! In all Rajagriha is there one who can surpass Kuvalaya in beauty, are there any who can even equal her?"
"Yes, woman," replied the brahman Bharadvaja. "What is your beauty when compared with the beauty of the Master?"
"I would see this Master whose beauty you praise," said Kuvalaya; "lead me to him."
"Here he is," said the Blessed One.
And he came forward.
The dancer stared at him.
"You are beautiful," she said at last. "I shall dance for you."
Kuvalaya danced. The dance began slowly. She had wrapped all her veils about her, even covering her face, and the beauty once so boldly flaunted was now only a dim promise. She was like the moon, hiding behind soft clouds from the gaze of night. A cloud flew away; a faint ray escaped through the rift. The dance became more rapid; one by one the veils fell away, and the queen of the stars appeared in all her glory. Faster and faster she
p. 246
whirled; suddenly, a blinding light flashed in her eyes, and she stopped. She was naked. The crowd gasped and surged forward.
"Unhappy woman!" said the Buddha.
He looked at her intently. Whereupon Kuvalaya's cheeks became sunken, her forehead wrinkled and her eyes grew dull. Only a few ugly teeth were left in her mouth; only a few thin strands of grey hair still hung from her head, and she was stooped as with age. The Blessed One had punished her as he had once punished Mara's daughters when they had tried to tempt him; he had changed the beautiful dancer into a shrivelled old woman.
She sighed:
"Master, I know the great wrong I have done. An ephemeral beauty had made me vain. You taught me a bitter lesson, but I feel that some day I shall be happy to have received it. Let me learn the sacred truths; then may I be released for ever from this body that, even when it was the delight of men, was nothing but a loathsome corpse."
The Master granted Kuvalaya's request, and she became one of the most devout of the Buddha's faithful followers.

Super Rugby - Chiefs in Super 15 final: Coach and player reaction
# 15645
Категория ролика: Super Rugby
The Chiefs are the best New Zealand side in this year's Super 15 series but have one more obstacle before they can claim their first title. Their enchanting season continues after they saw off the seven times champion Crusaders in Hamilton. It was a match of pulsating tension but not always great class as the rivals snarled and niggled each other.

Under the leadership of Nicolas G. Hayek (1928-2010), the Swatch Group achieved worldwide renown as the crown jewel of the watchmaking industry. In the early 1980s, Mr. Hayek led the firm's recovery from a severe crisis. His decisive leadership was critical to the launch of the Swatch watch in 1983 and subsequently drove the continuous development and improvement of all Swatch Group brands. His innovative strategies also served as important models for the Swiss watchmaking industry as a whole and played a key role in the revival of the industry. The achievements of N.G. Hayek have been widely recognized in Switzerland and beyond, resulting in a number of notable awards, including that of Doctor honoris causa, awarded by the Universities of Neuchâtel and Bologna in 1998. In 2003, he was named Officier de la Légion d'Honneur de France. Nicolas G. Hayek was Chairman and Delegate of the Board of Directors of The Swatch Group Ltd from 1986 to 2010.
In 1998, SMH (Swiss Corporation for Microelectronics and Watchmaking Industries Ltd.), founded by Nicolas G. Hayek in 1983 through the merger Swiss watchmakers ASUAG and SSIH, was renamed The Swatch Group. At the time, both SSIH and ASUAG held a number of well-established Swiss watch brands. ASUAG had been founded in 1931, SSIH a year earlier through the amalgamation of Omega and Tissot. SSIH's principal objective was to market quality Swiss watches. By taking over companies that produced high-quality movements and a number of lower-end watch brands, SSIH gradually managed to establish a strong position as a Swiss watch manufacturer. ASUAG's mandate was to maintain, improve and develop the Swiss watch industry. ASUAG also expanded gradually through the purchase of companies that made movement-blanks and a number of finished watch manufacturers that were subsequently brought together under the subsidiary GWC General Watch Co. Ltd.
In the 1930s, both ASUAG and SSIH sought to combat the severe economic crisis and ensuing unemployment by means of complementary research and development programs in their respective companies. It proved difficult for both, however, to implement a common industrial policy for the subsidiaries concerned. Following repeated crises in the Swiss watch industry, by the 1970s both ASUAG and SSIH were once again in trouble. Foreign competition, in particular the Japanese watch industry, with its mass production of cheap new electronic products and new technology, was rapidly establishing a strong foothold in the market. Eventually, both ASUAG and SSIH faced liquidation, and foreign competitors were offering to buy prestigious brands such as Omega, Longines, Tissot, and others.
At this point, Nicolas G. Hayek, at the time Chief Executive Officer of Hayek Engineering, received an assignment to develop a strategy for the future of both companies. In 1983, the soon to be renowned Hayek Study recommended a number of measures designed to enable the survival and ultimate recovery of the companies. Critical steps included the merger of ASUAG and SSIH into SMH and the launching of a low-cost, high-tech, artistic and emotional «second watch» – the Swatch. The subsequent implementation of the measures recommended by the Hayek Study, together with the take-over of the majority of shares by the Hayek Pool and the nomination of Nicolas G. Hayek as CEO, successfully created new opportunities and established a new culture. Within five years, the SMH Group was to become the most valuable watchmaker in the world.

Bartender's Choice: What To Order at Beretta in San Francisco
Sometimes, you can look at the list of ingredients in a cocktail and imagine what the final product will taste like. Other times, a drink surprises you. Take the Single Village Fix at San Francisco's Beretta. The restaurant's bar manager, Ryan Fitzgerald, told us it would taste like "grilled pineapple," and he was right—but it was simultaneously more perplexing and more delicious than that.
The Single Village Fix is just one of a long list of cocktails that has been drawing people into Beretta since it opened in 2008. The bar program originally came together under Thad Vogler, now the co-owner of Bar Agricole.
Fitzgerald has been at Beretta since it opened, and took over as bar manager about a year and a half ago. He's clearly proud of the program he oversees, bragging that, at Beretta, "price to quality ratio is second to none." Indeed, with several of the drinks on the menu going for $9, you'll save a few bucks per glass over some of the other fancy cocktail places in town. But Beretta's in the national spotlight now: the bar was recently included among the semi-finalists for the James Beard Foundation's Outstanding Bar Program award.
When describing Beretta's cocktails, Fitzgerald stresses a desire to remain grounded in tradition—though it's clear that he's not stuffy about this. "They fit into classic cocktail categories, but they're twists," he explained.
We put this friendly bar manager on the spot and asked him to choose his favorites from among Beretta's cocktails. In addition to the Single Village Fix, he mixed up a powerfully boozy sno-cone-in-a-glass, as well as an off-menu creation he'd used to win a cocktail competition the night before our visit. Click through the slideshow to see Ryan Fitzgerald's favorite Beretta drinks.

pop-pop is a unique fusion of pulse-quickening arcade game action and Internetworkable combat that's more addictive (and more colorful) than a handful of jellybeans. Pick your pop, then enter the bright happy world of fierce brick-bashing combat, where your paddle is your weapon, and your pop-fu must be strong to survive.
pop-pop has over 100 built-in puzzle levels if you want to play solo to sharpen your pop-pop'ing skills, or play against the viciously aggressive computer AI pops for a test of your mettle. The real challenge of your pop-worth, however, is when you enter the Internet arena to play against other pop-pop players all over the world!
pop-pop has a built-in Ambrosia game tracker that allows you to easily find other people to play against. Best of all, pop-pop is playable from anywhere in the world, even over slow modem Internet connections.
The easy to learn, hard to master zen-like nature of pop-pop will keep you coming back for "just one more game" until your optical mouse is worn to a small translucent nub. See you on the game tracker!
Sign up for the official pop-pop Tournament Mailing List to be notified of upcoming pop-pop games!
In pop-pop, Ambrosia has finally released an arcade game that is more addictive than Barrack, which I played until my eyes bled (ouch.) Everything I loved about that game can be found in pop-pop. But, while the single-player experience is fun for a while, it's the multiplayer game that really makes pop-pop worth playing.
Intel or PowerPC G3 or better, Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.
DirectX 7 or later, QuickTime 5.0 or later, Pentium 400MHz or higher, 64MB memory or higher for Windows 95 or 98 and 128MB memory or higher for Windows 2000 or XP. Compatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7.
We know you like pop-pop, tell your friends on Facebook you like it too!

A thoughtful review of the NYT twitter war
A thoughtful review of the NYT twitter war
Basically sez Musk blew it by opening his big yap. Thoughtful?
Here was my comment on the site:
All in all, a misconceived article. You are about to see, in action, the adage, "There's no such thing as bad publicity."
Beyond that, the factor you overlook is the one-taste-addictive properties of the car itself. Hardened gearheads have been known, after one drive, to say, "Well, the putt-putt car was nice while it lasted." The car is a game- and life-changer. Before, you drive to live. After, you live to drive.
Yeah, I think the end result was the best possible -- NYT brought lots of interest to the story, and other reporters making the trip without a problem highlighted there was no issue with the car (and brought their own viewers with them). I don't see how it could have turned out any better -- if the original report was the same as CNN/etc's, then it would have attracted no attention.
This article is not accurate. The problem on one of the cars driven by owners to reproduce the trip was a hardware problem and not a software glitch. What Tesla engineers did was uploading a software version that bypassed the faulty hardware so that the owner could continue to complete the trip. After the trip the car was supposed to be serviced to have the faulty hardware replaced. This information was provided by the people who took the trip and posted on TMC forum. I have no respect for the journalists who use false facts to reach conclusions that has wide effects on the public. I am already determined to get the Model X when my reservation # is called. In the mean time every ride in my Model S is still like a dream comes true, although I've already put 5,000miles on it.
