Postcard from the First Day of July
|How I feel in the summer...
As many of you know, when summer comes to the Northwest, I drop everything and go running (er, paddling) into the sun.
Here's the thing-- summer started in April this year (seriously), we had 70 and 80 degree weather and well, all the things I'm hyperventilating to do--go mountain biking, go hiking, go paddleboarding, plant my garden, work in the yard, sit on my deck and watch the world go by--well, I've already done them. No kidding. I'm that girl.
Because of this, I feel less of the need to abandon all things creative.
And honestly, this summer, I really can't as I have two major projects--
1) Hourglass Museum: My manuscript needs to be proofed and sent back to White Pine Press as my pub date is Feb 2014.
2) The Daily Poet: I haven't mentioned this much because when projects are in their young stage, I don't share as much, but I have a book coming out with Two Sylvias Press written by Martha Silano and me that is a book of writing exercises.
As far as I know, it will be the first eBook of writing exercises, but because we know poets love paper, it will also be available in print.
I have this deadline as well for the summer months, not finishing (the book is done), but editing.
Still, this is the point in the post where I say, I won't be around here as much in the summer, but promise to send postcards (like today) and check in on Confession Tuesday.
Consider anything else a bonus.
When you live under a cloud all year in a wet world, you must explore the land around you during the summer. You must eat huge amounts of frozen yogurt with chocolate sprinkles and too-expensive gourmet ice cream. You must spend hours on your deck looking at nothing in particular and hours talking to blackberry bushes and morning glory, tell them to slow down.
All of it is part of the rule of being a Northwest person. You can't ignore the summer because if you do, you will have low vitamin D and be locking yourself in your house due to unexplained anxiety. This is what we do here.
Except in the summer when we are normal, and happy, and kind of shiny from sunblock and maybe a little tan.
Let the green patina go, we've got a sunny few months ahead of us and we can't miss out.
Will be in touch, but less, or more with photos/postcards.
See you in September when the boys of summer have gone...

EclipseLink Architecture
This document gives an overview of the EclipseLink architecture. It documents the components and functionality of the EclipseLink product. Its purpose is to give EclipseLink developers an overview and understanding of the EclipseLink architecture and how it evolved to where it is today. Its focus is from the internal technical perspective. This is NOT a user document.
EclipseLink was originally an object-relational mapping runtime. A class library that enables Java developers to map their business object model onto a relational database schema. EclipseLink provides object-level access to the objects stored in a relational database.
EclipseLink provides a rich feature set to facilitate:
- Decoupling/flexibility of the object and data models
- Usability, high performance
- Scalability, concurrency
- Adherence to standards
- Portability
EclipseLink also provides EIS, object-relational data-type, XML, WebSevice, and SDO components. These components reuse at a minimum the mapping functionality of the core product.
Code Version
EclipseLink 1.0M1
EclipseLink was first developed through consulting engagements in the early 1990's in the Smalltalk language. It was developed to meet the needs of object-oriented applications that needed to store and access their data from relational databases. Before its first release it was refactored through several client engagements. It basic design has not changed significantly from the initial release in that its architecture is object-oriented, non-intrusive, plugable and meta-model driven.
A rough timeline that includes the major enhancements and refactoring to the product architecture follows:
- The Object People
- TopLink Smalltalk 1.0 – Descriptors, Mappings, Session, Accessor (ODBC), Cache, Indirection (proxy), Expressions (arrays)
- TopLink Smalltalk 2.0 – Expressions (block), TrackingUpdateManager (backup-clones), prototype of Builder UI
- TopLink Smalltalk 2.1 - UnitOfWork (edit originals, backup-clones track changes)
- TopLink Smalltalk 4.0 – QueryFramework, SessionBroker
- TopLink Java 1.0 – Descriptors, Mappings, Session, Accessor (JDBC), Cache, QueryFramework, Expressions (tree), UnitOfWork (edit clones), Builder UI (Smalltalk, INI meta-data), Indirection (value-holders)
- TopLink 2.0 – ServerSession, Session API interfaces, RemoteSession, JTS, SessionBroker
- TopLink 2.5 – EJB-CMP 1.0

Prepare for end of the Alex Ferguson era
Though Manchester United fans were no doubt unanimous in wishing Sir Alex Ferguson many happy returns on his recent 71st birthday, the sentiment was tinged with a sense of unease. Ferguson cannot go on forever and the fact that his birthday coincided with the end of another year somehow increases its significance.
The image of a weary old man making way for a newborn baby as 2012 gave way to 2013 hardly applies to the United manager, whose inner rages are burning as brightly as ever.
Yet the inescapable fact is Old Trafford will be looking for his successor sooner rather than later.
The speculation about who follows Fergie has already had a trial run.
After United won the Champions League in 2008, Ferguson announced that he would be stepping down as manager within the next three years. But following the 2009 final, which United lost 2-0 to Barcelona, Ferguson said he would be staying on for as long as his health permitted and that he aimed to win the league championship at least one more time to overtake Liverpool's total of 18.
No sooner had this been achieved than the title left Old Trafford for Manchester City and its retrieval has been Ferguson's main driving force. That and the desire to make up for United's modest showing in last season's Champions League.
Now that his team have been paired with Real Madrid in the knockout stage of the present tournament, retirement will surely be so far from his mind as to be nonexistent.
These recurring challenges keep him going and the prospect of taking on José Mourinho's Real, not to mention Cristiano Ronaldo, will stoke the fires afresh.
The knowledge that Ferguson is in the habit of taking wine with Mourinho after matches has prompted the thought that the Portuguese would be a suitable successor to Fergie. And should United knock Real out of the Champions League the likelihood of Mourinho leaving the Bernabeu will increase because his team are already 16 points behind Barcelona, the La Liga leaders.
The reality is that the under-35s among United's followers will have no clear memory of a time when Ferguson was not in charge and cannot imagine anyone else doing the job. Therein will lie the problem for whoever comes next. It was much that way when Sir Matt Busby retired in 1969 after 24 years as manager. Wilf McGuinness, Frank O'Farrell, Tommy Docherty, Dave Sexton and Ron Atkinson all came and went without making United the force they had once been, and Busby himself even returned for a season. Maybe it will take a similar
succession of appointments before United find the right man to replace Ferguson and he will need to be a special one even if he is not actually the Special One. – © Guardian News & Media 2012

Washington County is in the northwest corner of Arkansas in the Ozark Mountains. It was established on October 17, 1828, formed from Lovely County, which was part of Indian Territory. Washington County has grown from small settlements of farms, mills, and orchards into one of the most affluent and prosperous counties in the state. The University of Arkansas (UA) in Fayetteville remains the flagship of the University of Arkansas system. Tyson Foods, Incorporated is headquartered in nearby Springdale and has become a leading provider of jobs in the region. Given the broad range of manufacturing, industrial, and retail businesses, the population of Springdale is quite diverse, including a large Hispanic community as well as many Marshall Islanders.
Pre-European ExplorationPaleoindian peoples appear to have reached northwest Arkansas by 8500 BC. This culture manufactured a distinctive lanceolate spear point and used a stone-working technology developed by upper Paleolithic groups from Europe and northern Asia. Collectively, these artifacts are called Clovis points, which were components of a sophisticated weapon system consisting of a multi-piece dart and throwing stick that increased the velocity with which the dart could be thrown. Clovis materials have been found in present-day Washington County, though in limited quantities, likely due to the rugged terrain of the Ozark Mountain region being a poor place for settlement. Although evidence of Paleoindian presence in Washington County is sparse, the Dalton culture which followed is better represented in the county.
European Exploration and SettlementThe Mississippian Period refers collectively to the cultural developments throughout the mid-South from approximately AD 900 to 1600, around the time of the expedition of Hernando de Soto. The written accounts of the de Soto expedition, combined with recent archaeological studies, have demonstrated that there was an upsurge in population, a rise in agricultural development, and the development of small farming communities throughout the Ozarks. The soil of the future Washington County supported a diverse yield of crops, such as corn, beans, and squash. The clearing of forested areas to obtain new farming lands would become commonplace for European settlers, but the area was not heavily populated before the nineteenth century.
The land that would become Washington County could not support intensive, long-term agriculture. The environmental consequences of population stagnation and the overextension of the soil, combined with drought conditions and the transmission of European diseases, all were key underlying factors that kept the Native American population in the area relatively low throughout the early European involvement and settlement. Both Osage and Cherokee people hunted in the land during the early years of the nineteenth century, but neither established permanent settlements in the area.
Louisiana Purchase through Early StatehoodConflict between the Osage and Cherokee in what is now Washington County led to intermittent raids,which Indian agents and United States Army leaders attempted to end, often without success. William L. Lovely was assigned as the agent to the Western Cherokee by the U.S. government and sought to settle the dispute between the two warring tribes and the white settlers. In 1816, Lovely made the "Lovely Purchase" through an unauthorized sale of land from the Osage. The actual western border of the Cherokee land, which included portions of Washington County, was vague and remained unsurveyed until 1825.
On October 13, 1827, the Arkansas territorial legislature acted to create Lovely County. Present-day Washington County was within the borders of this county. The seat of Lovely County was established at Nicksville, Oklahoma. Many early settlers to Washington County came to the area after the establishment of Lovely County. The county was formed after the Cherokee were removed and the area was deemed safe for white settlement. History records the names of several white pioneer families who settled in what is now Washington County, among them Alexander, McGarrah, and Simpson. The first white families came to Washington County about a year before the Arkansas territorial legislature opened the area to white settlement, thus making trespassers of the new pioneers. These squatters lived on their homesteads, anticipating quick federal intervention to gain the land from the Cherokees, making it possible for permanent white settlement. The land formally became available to white settlement in 1828. There was a settlement at Cane Hill by 1827, and by the 1830s, villages appeared at Shiloh (now Springdale) and Fayetteville. Lovely County was abolished by October 14, 1828, most of it ending up, when the border was drawn, in Indian Territory (modern-day Oklahoma). From much of what was left in Arkansas Territory, Washington County was formally created three days later.
Revivals or "camp meetings" of Baptists, Methodists, Episcopalians, and Cumberland Presbyterians played an important role in the county's history. They provided spiritual and educational services to the settlers; they also afforded a social setting for the early pioneers. Many of these meetings were held in simple brush arbors built in the woods, and at least six camp meeting sites can still be found in Washington County that pre-date the Civil War. Black congregations also worshiped and held their own religious services before the Civil War. Religious meetings were held near Cane Hill, Lincoln, Fayetteville, and surrounding communities.
Throughout the 1830s and 1840s, Washington County started to attract more affluent citizens. This is probably due to the good climate and availability of inexpensive land. Archibald Yell may be the most famous man from early Washington County. In the 1830s, President Andrew Jackson appointed him a circuit court judge in the region. Yell built his home, Waxhaw, in Fayetteville and practiced law in and around Fayetteville. In 1836, he was Arkansas's first congressman, and in 1840, he became Arkansas's second governor. He is buried in Fayetteville, having been killed in the war with Mexico. His law office is still preserved and maintained by the Washington County Historical Society.
EducationThe early settlers of Washington County placed great value on education, as evidenced by the many schools that dotted the county. The Cane Hill School was founded in 1835 for young men who planned to enter the ministry. The school first met in a log cabin but grew into Cane Hill College by 1850. In 1836, the Fayetteville Female Seminary was established for prominent young women of the city.
The University of Arkansas, originally known as Arkansas Industrial University, formally opened on January 22, 1872. The university started with eight students, a dozen books, acting president Noah P. Gates, and one teacher, Charles H. Leverett. By the end of the year, enrollment had reached 101 students from towns throughout the county and the state.
Civil War through ReconstructionOn February 18, 1861, the citizens of Washington County were asked to vote for or against a state convention that would consider secession. They rejected the proposal to secede by almost a three-to-one margin. Unionist sentiment rang strong in the county—Jonas M. Tebbets, one-time member of the Arkansas state legislature and attorney for the Fayetteville branch of the State Bank, was briefly imprisoned for his Unionist views at Fort Smith (Sebastian County) in May of 1861, following Arkansas's secession, which was approved by a majority of other counties throughout the state. At the May statewide convention on the issue of secession, delegates from Washington County voted to remain loyal to the Union. Finding themselves outvoted 65-6, the four delegates reversed their votes, leaving Isaac Murphy of Madison County alone in opposition to secession.
During the Civil War, Washington County represented a coveted prize for both sides. It was only a day's ride into Unionist Missouri, where both the Union and Confederate soldiers might find aid and support. The two great battles fought in northwest Arkansas—Pea Ridge on March 6–8, 1862, and Prairie Grove on December 7, 1862—involved attempts by Confederates to solidify their control over the area and seize control of southern Missouri. The Federal forces won both engagements and were thus able to keep Missouri in the Union.
Washington County, like so many counties in the state, provided troops to both Union and Confederate armies. Confederate general Ben McCulloch issued a call for troops that resulted in several hundred enlistments from Fayetteville. Peter Mankins Jr. of the Middle Fork Valley raised a company of eighty-four men and personally equipped sixty-four for the Confederate force. Washington County and the surrounding territories also fielded two cavalry regiments, two infantry regiments, and one artillery corps for the Union army. Washington County and the surrounding area fielded roughly 500 to 800 men for the Union force and approximately 2,000 for the Confederacy.
The Action at Fayetteville on April 18, 1863, demonstrated the dichotomy of the Civil War. The First Arkansas Cavalry (Confederate) engaged the First Arkansas Cavalry (Union) force around 9:00 a.m. The Rebels enacted a desperate charge against the Union flank only to meet a tumultuous crossfire. The Federal troops had amassed a sizeable amount of ordinance upon College Avenue. The Confederates slowly withdrew when it became apparent that they would be unable to advance. They left approximately seventy-five men killed, wounded, or missing.
Three weeks after the Action at Fayetteville, the Union forces withdrew to Springfield, Missouri, and the Rebels were able to occupy peacefully the town that they had failed to seize by arms. The town changed hands several times throughout the war. After the war, men returned to find schools burned, fields in disarray, orchards destroyed, and fences and barns razed for firewood. Fayetteville, as well as the entire county, lost a great deal in trade, commerce, men, and material throughout the bloody conflict.
By the beginning of 1866, shops began to reopen, and life seemed to improve. The stage from Springfield, Missouri, resumed operation, and the mills were rebuilt at Rhea, Clear Creek, and Cane Hill. Cane Hill College was rebuilt and opened in 1868 by its long-serving president, Fontaine R. Earle. The first public school for freed slaves, the Mission School, opened in 1866. It was formed by a former Union cavalry officer, Lafayette Gregg, and was supervised by Ebenezer E. Henderson, who was initially deeply resented by many of the white citizens of the county. The school was the first post–Civil War school for black students in the county. Students were also taught informally elsewhere in the region by black teachers in churches and houses.
Post-Reconstruction through Early Twentieth CenturyFrom the 1870s to the 1900s, the county population increased steadily, as did farm yields. In 1870, the population was 17,266; by 1900, it grew to more than 34,000. Arable land also greatly increased as it was cleared. By 1870, there were only 73,145 acres under cultivation. The average acreage increased to almost 238,000 by 1900. Apples, grapes, strawberries, corn, and assorted livestock provided the fundamental agricultural base throughout the twentieth century.
Fruit production also became a strong source of revenue for the county's farmers by the close of the nineteenth century. Apples had long been a basic crop for Washington County. As early as 1852, area farmers sent crates of their "striped Ben" apples across the Boston Mountains to sell at ports along the Arkansas River. Orchard production remained small until after the Civil War. Agriculture received a great boost with the completion of the St. Louis, Arkansas, and Texas Railway line. It was completed in 1882 and provided a quick, reliable mode of transportation for commerce. Washington County's apple harvest was the highest in the state in 1890, with 211,685 bushels; by 1900, production had nearly tripled to 614,924. The Western Arkansas Fruit Growers and Shippers Cooperative Association, which organized in Springdale in 1888, provided a surge in growing, producing and marketing activities to the booming orchard industry.
By 1900, Washington County was exporting fence posts, hardwood lumber, railroad ties, spokes, and posts throughout the nation. The large-scale clearing of land, mostly in the southern portion of the county, afforded new opportunities for settlers to farm and grow fruit, thus creating a thriving canning and evaporating business.
The fruit business peaked then waned in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Poor soil fertility and less cultivated acreage appeared to be the key underlying factors in the reduction in fruit production. The timber boom left a vast amount of open arable land. Farming was attempted on the denuded land, especially fruit and vegetable production, but erosion quickly removed the top soil and made farming impractical.
World War II through Modern EraThe Aaron Poultry and Egg Company created the county's first modern poultry processing farm in 1914 at an old mill building on Dickson Street in Fayetteville. In 1916, the Aaron Company decided not to build a permanent plant in Fayetteville, but Jay Fulbright, the father of U.S. Senator J. William Fulbright, along with other investors built a processing plant on West Avenue in Fayetteville. The company improved local stock both in egg production and the quality of roosters. Chickens slaughtered in the Fayetteville plant were shipped to markets throughout the nation. The plant grew and changed owners and was eventually acquired by the Campbell Soup Company in 1955.
Feed mills dot the landscape up and down U.S. Highway 71. This major thoroughfare cuts through the downtowns of Fayetteville and Springdale, the county's two largest cities. There are several large poultry processing plants that employ over 1,000 workers each. The two largest are Campbell Soup of Fayetteville and Tyson Foods in Springdale, both located off Highway 71. Tyson Foods and George's remain Washington County's top poultry producers. They are still owned and operated by the same families that formed the businesses.
Beginning in 1888 and continuing throughout the twentieth century, Washington County has had the highest agricultural income of any county in Arkansas, employing over 50,000 agribusiness laborers. While nearly seventy percent of the county's population lives in incorporated cities and towns, over half the county's acreage is used for agricultural and recreational pursuits. Since Reconstruction, agriculture in Washington County has remained essentially unchanged, focusing on the raising of broilers, cattle, turkeys and hogs. In addition, the county has significant commercial output of apples, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, and peaches. Despite having extensive agribusiness endeavors, Washington County remains a leader in education and industry, as reflected by the thousands of professionals employed by the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, the Campbell Soup Company, and Tyson Industries.

Christon rallies Xavier over Evansville 63-60
CINCINNATI (AP) — Semaj Christon scored 19 points and rallied Xavier from a 13-point deficit in the second half to a 63-60 victory over Evansville on Tuesday night in the renewal of an old Ohio River basketball rivalry.
Christon led a 23-8 run that got Xavier (7-3) ahead. He went only 3 of 14 from the field but was 13 of 17 from the free-throw line, a place where he'd struggled all season, making only 56 percent.
Article continues below ...
Evansville (6-4) had a shot to tie, but D.J. Balentine's long 3-pointer with two defenders in front of him went off the back of the rim in the closing seconds. Matt Stainbrook got the rebound to seal it, finishing off his second double-double of the season with 10 points and 15 rebounds.
Balentine finished with 15 points but was only 2 of 7 from beyond the arc.
The game renewed an old rivalry with a notable connection.
The Aces and the Musketeers contended for titles in the Midwestern Collegiate Conference for 15 years. Xavier coach Chris Mack was a two-year starter at Evansville until 1990, when he transferred home and played for Xavier. The schools hadn't played since 1994.
Neither team got into an offensive flow early, resulting in five lead changes and four times in the first 10 minutes. Center Egidijus Mockevicius had a pair of layups and two free throws during a 10-point run that gave the Aces a 24-15 lead.
Balentine came in averaging 24.9 points per game, fourth nationally. The sophomore guard missed his first four shots before making a layup that pushed the lead to 29-19 with 4:10 left in the half.
Xavier couldn't do anything against Evansville's packed-in half-court defense, with its front line repeatedly missing contested layups. The Aces led 32-25 at halftime, the fewest points the Musketeers had in an opening half this season.
Evansville led even though Balentine had only two points on 1-of-6 shooting. Mockevicius had a game-high nine points and four rebounds at the half, but picked up his fourth foul with 10:08 left in the game.
Balentine's long 3-pointer beat the shot clock and made it 43-33 with 14 minutes left, his first basket after three misses from beyond the arc. The Musketeers were getting outplayed all around, with the Aces shooting 50 percent from the field and leading in rebounds 24-19.
The Aces led by as many as 13 points before Christon asserted himself, making a three-point play, a driving layup and five free throws during a 15-6 spurt that cut it to 54-53 with 6:41 left.
Dee Davis completed the comeback by hitting a long 3-pointer as the shot clock ran out for a 57-56 lead with 5:01 to go, Xavier's first lead since midway through the first half.
Balentine missed both free throws with 1:08 left and the score tied at 58. After Justin Martin's layup put Xavier up 62-60, Balentine drove the baseline and Martin blocked his shot, with Christon getting the loose ball. He was fouled and made one of two free throws. Evansville called timeout with 5.5 seconds left to set up the final shot by Balentine.

A truck carrying 25 million bees tipped over in Utah, freeing the stinging insects and sending the driver to the hospital.
Louis Holst and his wife, Tammie, were transporting 460 hives from South Dakota to Bakersfield, Calif., when he hit a sharp curve in a construction zone on I-15 and the truck tipped, according to The Associated Press. The bees went berserk.
"First responders came and drug me and my wife through the front window," Holst said. "Then we panicked."
Holst said he ripped off his shirt and began swatting the air as the bees swarmed him and his wife, who took off running. "We just started swinging our clothes," he said. "They stung her all up and down her neck."
The road was closed for several hours while beekeepers came to try to catch as many of the bees as possible. Holst, 48, was stung at least a dozen times, and his wife was also stung several times.
The bees were among 4 billion sent in 160 truckloads from Adee Honey Farms in Bruce, S.D., to Bakersfield, where they stay for the winter before being used for spring pollination, company co-owner Richard Adee said.
"It's pretty much a complete loss," Adee told the AP of the $116,000 load.

Some Numbers
There have been ~35,500 games played in the post-expansion NHL. Figuring 40 participants per game, that is 1.4 million man-hours of hockey. In that sample, we've seen one accidental death: Bill Masterton way back in 1968. The death rate is 0.7 per million hours of NHL hockey. He is the only player in NHL history to die as a direct result of an on-ice incident, and he'd probably still be alive today if he had been wearing a helmet.
Here are some other rates for the general public, taken from this article:
Bicycling: 0.26 deaths per million hours
Driving: 0.47
Motorcycling: 8.8
Motorcycling is at least 12.5 times deadlier than post-expansion NHL hockey.
Over its entire history, NHL hockey has been about as dangerous as driving a car in this crude measure of deaths per hour. When you consider how many more hours a player spends travelling than playing, it would make a lot of sense to invest in greater transportation safety than on-ice safety. I don't think I need to type out a list of deaths in motor vehicle accidents to make that clear.
And this probably doesn't need to be said: you and I spend far more time travelling in motor vehicles than we do playing NHL hockey. There are bigger issues out there than mandatory neck guards.
What is the number needed to treat for neck guards? For the cost of equipping every hockey player in the country with one, how many motorcycles could we throw into compactors?

First Night Boston, creator of the city's signature New Year's celebration, is ceasing operations after nearly four decades because of declining donations and sponsorships. The nonprofit group is laying off its small staff and closing its downtown offices by month's end.
"We just can't support it anymore," Geri Guardino, First Night's director, said Thursday. "It's very sad."
The demise of the 37-year-old event is the second major blow to cherished city traditions in recent days. Last weekend, CBS confirmed that the July 4 concert and fireworks show along the Charles River would no longer be nationally televised, sharply diminishing its profile.
But some form of the New Year's celebration may survive. As First Night announced Thursday it would close, Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino stepped in, saying the city would make sure the New Year's Eve festivities continue.
"We'll have First Night in Boston," he said. "If we have to take it over, we will. There's a will and there's a way."
With its fireworks, Mardi Gras-style procession, famed ice sculptures, and artistic performances, the holiday festivities drew a million people to the heart of the city each New Year's Eve, a beloved tradition that showcased hundreds of artists and captured Boston in full winter glory. The oldest and largest event of its kind in the country, it inspired dozens of similar festivals across the country, and pumped millions into the local economy.
The event's financial struggles contrast with its surging popularity, which may have given the public a false sense of security that the event was stable.
"I think people took it for granted," Guardino said. "Everyone thought it was going to happen regardless. But we were pulling it together on a wing and a prayer. In some ways, we were a victim of our own success."
As more people turned out, the event grew in scope, generating more revenue but adding to the expense. Recent consecutive years of inclement weather kept many revelers at home, adding to the event's struggles.
"It was one straw after the other," Guardino said.
A decade ago, the event drew $474,000 from corporate sponsors. By last year, sponsorships dwindled to $156,000. Contributions from foundations, meanwhile, plunged from $364,000 to less than $50,000.
Overall, major funding has fallen 70 percent since 2003, from $880,000 to $263,000.
Even with revenue from the event accounting for about half the group's yearly budget, the drop in donations was too much to overcome.
"These are very different times," Guardino said. "Corporations wanted a bigger bang for their buck."
'It was one straw after the other. . . . It's just not like it used to be.'
At the same time, many foundations shifted their focus to social justice and educational causes, organizers said.
In response, organizers reduced First Night's budget to $800,000, down from $1.3 million in 2008. But after losing two major foundation grants, cash flow ground to a halt, and organizers said they had no choice but to close.
Menino criticized the First Night organizers, saying they lacked the "creativity" to make the event sustainable.
"They weren't willing to make the tough decisions," he said.
City officials said they would reach out to the city's business and philanthropic community to help finance the upcoming New Year's Eve events. The city already pays a substantial sum for public safety each year.
Organizers said they hope to transfer the First Night trademark to the city and plan to work with city officials to find a group that can take over the event. Thoughts that the event would vanish altogether are difficult to bear, organizers said.
"It's such an important event for the community," said Jan Beaven, the group's treasurer.
Chris Cook, the city's director of arts, tourism, and special events, said the city would likely run First Night as another major event, without devoting a full-time staff.
"Just because the nonprofit is ending, it doesn't meant the celebration itself is going to end," Cook said.
Pat Moscaritolo, president of the Greater Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau, said the one-day event was a difficult sell to sponsors seeking more sustained exposure.
"Sponsorships are a lot different today," he said. "And those dollars are fewer and fewer." He praised the event for changing New Year's Eve in Boston from a younger, rowdier experience to a more family-oriented event, and for highlighting the city's cultural offerings.
"There's no question it's been important to telling the Boston story," he said.
But for longtime First Night artists, news of the closing hit hard.
"I can't tell you how heartbroken I am," said Don Chapelle, an ice sculptor. "It's part of the fabric of the city. It's such a great loss."Peter Schworm can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @globepete.

OMD-15 Floorstanding Speaker
Available exclusively at Crutchfield
Captivating 360ş music and movie sound performances
Beautiful blend of style and sound that complements any room
Classy curved cabinet available in two high-gloss wood veneer finishes
5.5-inch woofer and 5.5-inch passive radiator for extreme bass performance
1-inch tweeter mounted above a 5.5-inch midbass driver for warm, immersive results
You'll want to stay home every weekend when you listen to music and movies through our OMD–15 speaker. Smaller than our flagship OMD–28, this floorstander fits in beautifully with your lifestyle and is a real crowd pleaser when it comes to sound.
Sexy Style Meets Sassy Sound
Every Great Performer Has a Story
The OMD–15, along with the entire OM Design Series, not only represents the world's first high–end Omnipolar? loudspeaker lineup; it's also the pinnacle of Mirage sound. When a speaker is Omnipolar, it works with the room to create the proper proportion of direct and reflected sound, resulting in immersive, true–to–life performances.
Four drivers bring this floorstander to life. On the front of the cabinet, you'll find a 5.5–inch woven carbon fiber woofer mated to a patented Ribbed Elliptical Surround–which eliminates distortion and raises efficiency–and a 5.5–inch passive radiator. At the top of the speaker rests a 1–inch pure titanium dome tweeter mounted above a 5.5–inch poly titanium deposit hybrid midbass driver. The midbass shares a sub–enclosure with the passive radiator, taking the responsibility of loading the midbass driver. The woofer is loaded by the OMD–15's down–firing port. Overall, this ingenious design allows the speaker to generate exceptional low–frequency reproduction, especially when you consider the small footprint of its cabinet.
But what makes this speaker sound truly spectacular is its Omniguide module. This patented design, developed by Mirage engineers, distributes sound directly towards the listener, as well as reflects it off walls, ceilings and other surfaces, resulting in a 360º soundstage that fills the entire room with immersive sound. So, you'll hear the same captivating performances from anywhere in the room.
Taking design cues from the flagship OMD–28, the smaller OMD–15 floorstander also proves to be a real supermodel within the OM Design Series. It uses sophisticated sound and style to deliver alluring music and movie performances that would bring an intense level of wow to any consumer electronics catwalk–if one existed.
The OMD–15 uses premium materials and exclusive technology to envelope you in pure sonic bliss. And, its style is just as captivating as its sound. The speaker's curved handmade cabinet is elegantly finished in two high–gloss wood veneers: piano black or rosewood. So stunning, you won't want to tuck this beauty queen out of sight.
You'll never tire of this speaker. In fact, you'll discover it's so fantastic it would be a sin not to share. So, invite your friends over and get as close as possible to a cineplex or live concert experience without having to stand in line, or fight traffic.

Aruba's beaches offer a lot more than just snorkelling and diving. There is also plenty of action above the surface. Thanks to a strong and steady wind, the island is known as one of the best wind and kite-surf destinations in the Caribbean. Several of Aruba's beaches offer excellent activities on the water, for both beginner and more experienced surfers.
Aruba's beaches can roughly be divided into 2 categories: idyllic on the island's west side and rugged on the east side. That means you will find beaches that are perfect for those who are learning to surf as well as beaches that will challenge even the professionals. These beaches are also worth a visit for those with no interest in surfing whatsoever. The acrobatic manoeuvres of the surfers in the waves offer impressive entertainment.
With steady winds and calm shallow waters, Aruba is one of the best destinations to learn how to surf. Malmok Beach is the most popular beach for beginners. Here you will find several surf schools and rental facilities. The beach itself is quite narrow, but the clear water is nice and shallow for the first 60 metres offshore. With a large board and small sail, even the most inexperienced beginner will be surfing in no time.
Malmok Beach
Hadicurari Beach, also called Fisherman's Huts, is the surf Mecca of Aruba. Every year in June or July, the prestigious Aruba Hi Winds World Challenge takes place here, the largest surf competition in the Caribbean. But during the rest of the year too the beach is a popular destination for water sports fans with their colourful sails and kites. The spectators on the beach also enjoy the aerial and water acrobatics of the pro surfers; some jump metres high above the waves.
Hadicurari Beach
Boca Grandi, on the most southern tip of Aruba's rugged east coast, is a great beach for experienced surfers. Swimming is not recommended because of the strong currents and high waves, but skilled surfers will have a great time here. The beautiful beach near Sint Nicholaas is worth a visit in its own right, if not as a spectator perhaps as a beachcomber: the rugged surf deposits a lot of coral, driftwood, and other small ocean treasures on the beach.

Sure, it's definitely possible. You may run into load balancing problems if you have a parallel programs running on both fast and slow CPUs. If you use a batch system like PBS, you can create attributes for individual nodes and use those to ask a homogeneous set of processors (or heterogeneous, for that matter): # ask PBS for 10 Pentium 100MHz nodes #PBS -l nodes=10:p_100 # ask PBS for 6 Pentium II 500 MHz nodes #PBS -l nodes=6:p2_500 # ask PBS for 10 Pentium 100s *and* 6 P2 500s #PBS -l nodes=10:p_100+6:p2_500 I'd assume/hope you can do similar things in other resource managers and batch systems, like LSF and DQS (although I've never tried either). --Troy -- Troy Baer email: troy at osc.edu Science & Technology Support phone: 614-292-9701 Ohio Supercomputer Center web: http://oscinfo.osc.edu

It was one year ago this week that Andrew Doheny reached the final heat of the Assn. of Surfing Professionals' World Junior Championships in Bali, Indonesia, finishing in second place in what was considered a breakthrough performance by the Newport Beach teen.
Last year's event in Bali was the first of three contests in the World Junior Championship Tour, but this year the World Junior Championship was condensed to one contest, and Doheny again got into position to win the title.
Doheny advanced through Round 1 despite a sub-par performance by placing second in his three-man heat, setting him for a Round 2 matchup against Brazil's Luan Carvalho.
But Doheny found his groove in Round 2 with a big performance, thanks to his ability to unleash a combination of moves on a single wave. He beat Carvalho, 15.00 to 5.30.
"The level of surfing at this event is so high," Doheny told aspworldtour.com. "I get nervous because everyone is so good. I was off my game in the first round, so it feels good to come back and have a good heat. I'm loving being in Bali, there's a lot of good rights and the people, food and everything are great."
Doheny was matched up against Hawaii's Koa Smith in Round 3 and again came up big, outscoring Smith 16.26 to 8.47.
In Round 4, Doheny edged out Hawaiian Keanu Asing, 15.57 to 13.10.
"That heat was gnarly," Doheny said. "I knew that Keanu is good with heat tactics and stuff, so my plan was to try and get the first good wave of the heat and it must have worked. I came second here last year and I want to do as good, if not better because this is my last year in the juniors."
The World Junior Tour is for surfers under 20, and Doheny is 19. With one more chance for a Junior crown, he next faced Cooper Chapman of Australia in the quarterfinals.
Doheny won, 14.77 to 12.67, putting him in the semifinals against Ezekiel Lau of Hawaii. But Doheny ran out of magic, losing to Lau in the semis, 15.20 to 7.50.
"I thought I'd be bummed," Doheny said. "But I'm actually really stoked! Even though I finished second here last year, I didn't expect to get as high as third this year. Ezekiel did what I like to do, he caught a bunch of waves and got into rhythm."
Jack Freestone beat Lau in the final heat to win the World Junior Championship, Doheny finishing equal third. Next up for Doheny is his attempt to join the ASP World Championship Tour.
Speaking of the ASP WCT, they're currently in Portugal for the Rip Curl Pro, the eighth event of the 10 contests on the tour. The top four surfers in the rankings were all still in it when a lay day was called on Tuesday.
Hawaii's John John Florence, currently No 4 in the standings, advanced through Round 3 with a win over South Africa's Travis Logie, despite suffering an injury earlier in the week.
"It wasn't too bad, just a couple cuts, a couple stitches on my head but it's all good," said Florence, 19. "I've never hit the bottom that hard on a wave and it was pretty scary at first, but it heals pretty fast I was glad I didn't have to surf a heat (the following day)."
No. 1 Joel Parkinson, No. 2 Kelly Slater and No. 3 Mick Fanning had yet to surf their Round 3 heats.
Huntington Beach's Brett Simpson is in 18th place in the tour standings, but also reached Round 3 against 18-year-old Brazilian phenom Gabriel Medina. Simpson went for it but came up short, falling 14.66 to 7.60.
"That was a tough heat against Brett," Medina said. "He surfed so well and I really thought he was going to get the scores on this last wave but he didn't make that last air so I'm stoked to make this one. That's an important round for me, I really want to get a good result over here."

May, Jeanneret forever linked by 'May Day' goalby John Ciolfi
Many believe the 1992-93 NHL season was among the finest staged in the League's history. From the addition of two teams through expansion, to the sudden prominence of European players, to the heroics of Pittsburgh's Mario Lemieux, to the crowning of Montreal as Stanley Cup champions, the season was full of memorable moments. On its 20th anniversary, NHL.com will spend the year looking back at the key moments of that '92-93 season to see if it may indeed be the NHL's Greatest Season.
Playoffs. Overtime.
Just seeing those two words next to each other will cause the hearts of most hockey fans to start racing -- for good reason.
The intensity and physicality of the postseason is heightened by the finality provided by sudden-death overtime. With one masterful stroke, one flash of brilliance, any player can turn himself into a hockey legend.
Though some of the greatest players in League history have scored series-winning goals in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, more than a few players of relative anonymity have stepped up and earned a place in the spotlight almost instantaneously. On April 24, 1993, one such player -- with a little help from a legendary announcer -- etched his name into NHL lore by scoring one of the most unlikely goals in its long postseason history.
The 1992-93 Sabres were a wildly entertaining team. Their attack was led by Pat LaFontaine (53 goals, 95 assists) and Alexander Mogilny (76 goals, 51 assists). They also possessed an exceptional goaltending tandem of Grant Fuhr and a young Dominik Hasek. Finally, the Sabres employed a number of players who were not afraid to drop the gloves, including Gord Donnelly, Bob Sweeney and Rob Ray.
But the team leader in penalty minutes that season was a 21-year-old Toronto native named Brad May.
"That was my second year in the NHL, and I was lucky to play with some incredible talent," May told NHL.com. "We had such a great make-up of guys. I loved playing in Buffalo and my teammates were awesome. After [Dave] Andreychuk got traded, I got to play on the line with Lafontaine and Mogilny for the better part of the second half of the season, and I was just really excited to play alongside such great players. Every day that I'd lace them up was a great experience, being such a young guy."
For all the firepower the Sabres possessed, though, they were at times wildly inconsistent. They lost their final seven regular-season games to wind up fourth in their division, which earned them a first-round playoff series against the powerful Boston Bruins. Despite the fearsome opponent and the fact the Sabres had not won a first-round series in a decade, they remained confident they could stifle Bruins star defenseman Ray Bourque and defeat their division rivals.
"You want to be playing well heading into the playoffs, which we weren't," Sweeney said. "But we were prepared for the Bruins. [Sabres coach] John Muckler did a fantastic job. I can remember his game plan, and it worked to a T against the Bruins."
"The Boston offense was built around Ray Bourque running it," former Sabres general manager Gerry Meehan said. "I remember the amount of commitment that guys like Brad May made to neutralizing Bourque. I think our team did an excellent job of neutralizing him."
Sure enough, May and the Sabres shut down Bourque and quickly jumped out to a 3-0 series lead. And as Game 4 settled into overtime in front of a sellout crowd at the old Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, May and Bourque would cross paths one last time.
At 4:44 of the extra period, with the scored tied 5-5, LaFontaine -- who had scored a famous series-clinching goal for the New York Islanders six years earlier -- was skating through the neutral zone when he was knocked down. While lying on the ice, he pushed the puck forward, where May picked it up at the blue line. Then, in one quick motion, May deftly tapped the puck between the skates of an onrushing Bourque and skated in alone on net, where he drew goaltender Andy Moog out of position before firing home the winning goal, sending the crowd at the Aud into a frenzy.
May's spectacular move stunned Bourque and the Bruins, and it certainly left a few of his teammates speechless.
"I had a front-row seat," LaFontaine said. "I see it's Brad May, and then he makes an inside-outside move on Ray Bourque. I had to do a double-take and make sure it was No. 27.
"[May] is such a great guy and had a tremendous career, but you don't expect guys who are deemed more power forwards, in a sense, to make moves like that. He wasn't that kind of finesse player, so to make a move like that against a Hall of Famer like Bourque and Moog … it was special."
"Then panic set in," May said, joking, "because I saw the whole bench come at me and basically try to put their stinky gloves in my faces, so I raced to the other end of the ice to get away. It was so amazing to be a part of that, obviously to have that as an individual moment, but also to win in Buffalo with that team was so fun."
Though the play was certainly memorable to those who experienced it firsthand at the Aud, May's goal became famous throughout the hockey world thanks to the call of legendary Sabres play-by-play man Rick Jeanneret:
"Lafontaine tripped up, he gets it to May. … In over the line. … Here's May going in on goal! He shoots … HE SCORES!! MAY DAY! MAY DAY! MAY DAY! MAY DAY! MAY DAY! BRAD MAY WINS IT IN OVERTIME!"
"It was completely spontaneous," Jeanneret told NHL.com. "I don't think he'd scored in 15 or 16 games, it was a long time. He would've been the last guy, I guess I'm trying to say, that I thought would score the overtime goal and send the Sabres to the second round of the playoffs. No, no, that just tumbled out of me, and I started it and I didn't know how to stop it. I just kept saying 'May Day!' until I could think of something else to say."
EA's NHL '94 remains landmark gameBy Tal Pinchevsky - NHL.com Staff Writer
The classic video game NHL '94 was released 20 years ago this month and introduced countless people to hockey through their Nintendo and Sega consoles. It also helped make Jeremy Roenick a star. READ MORE ›
Having started with the Sabres as a radio personality during the 1971-72 season, Jeanneret had developed a reputation for his playful demeanor and his passionate, energetic calls, such as "La-la-la-la-LaFontaine!" and "Top shelf where mama hides the cookies!" His longevity and continued enthusiasm eventually led to him receiving the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award for excellence in broadcasting from the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2012. For most Sabres fans, it's that call he made 20 years ago that remains his enduring legacy.
"I still see it to this day," Jeanneret said. "It gets a lot of hits on YouTube, things like that. It's one of the highlights -- there are several others as well -- but 'May Day' would be right up there near the top."
May agrees.
"When I did an interview 20 minutes after the game, that was the first time I had heard it," he said. "It was so amazing, obviously, just the way it sounded in the whole place. Jeanneret is such an amazing guy, and such an amazing broadcaster. I was there the night they inducted him into the Hall of Fame, and they played his video, and it included that call. So just being aligned with Rick Jeanneret through that whole experience was just amazing."
All of the jubilation created by May's goal and Jeanneret's call, however, was short-lived. Injuries to LaFontaine and Mogilny crippled the Sabres' attack in the second round, and despite a valiant effort, the Sabres were swept by the eventual Stanley Cup champion Montreal Canadiens, with the final three losses coming, ironically enough, in overtime.
Many of the players on that Sabres team never lifted the Cup.
May had to wait 14 seasons before finally winning it in 2007 as a member of the Anaheim Ducks. He retired in 2010 and works as an analyst for Rogers Sportsnet. He also participates in the instructional series "Hockey Skills presented by Canadian Tire," which appears regularly on NHL.com. Jeanneret just completed his 42nd season calling Sabres games and is working alongside May's former teammate Rob Ray announcing games for the MSG Network.
Some players, especially those who have played in more than 1,000 games and earned a Stanley Cup ring, might take issue with being known for one moment of their career. May, however, eventually embraced his hockey legacy: He earned the nickname "May Day" as a result of his goal, and visitors to May's website are immediately greeted with the audio of Jeanneret's call.
"I think the one thing is, you didn't want to be remembered for something that happened in 1993 when you're still playing hockey in 2003, you wanted to make more memories," May said. "I didn't rest on my laurels by any means, but it definitely stayed with me. When I got introduced at different events, people would recall that goal and that call by Rick. It's been awesome, and I'd be lying if I said that I didn't enjoy it. It's been a big part of who I am today and who I was as a hockey player. It's one of those moments that not all of us get, and I feel honored that I had that experience."

Rooney backed to overtake Charlton
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has tipped Wayne Rooney to eclipse Sir Bobby Charlton as the club's all-time record scorer.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has tipped Wayne Rooney to eclipse Sir Bobby Charlton as the club's all-time record scorer.
After having doubts over the Red Devils' future dispelled by Ferguson last term, and then signing a new five-year contract, Rooney has been a much more settled figure. The 25-year-old is presently ninth on the list, with 156 - 93 behind Charlton, who amassed an impressive 247 before his 17-year stint with the club ended in 1973.
Ferguson can see no reason why the gap cannot be bridged and he told Inside United: "I do (think he can eclipse that feat). He is only 25 years of age, so you'd think he has at least another five years in him at the very top level. And if he looks after himself like Ryan Giggs has done, he could play well into his 30s."
He added: "The opportunity is there and time is on his side. He's raced out of the blocks already this season and I hope he could get up to around the 30 mark."
And after the striker departed for England duty in Montenegro this week, Ferguson will certainly be hoping nothing happens to Rooney in Podgorica, when England will look to gain the point required to reach next summer's European Championships.
For straight after the international break come two of the biggest fixtures in United's season; Liverpool away, followed by Manchester City at home.
Previously, Ferguson has cheekily suggested Liverpool were United's true derby rivals. Sheikh Mansour's £1billion investment in City has changed all that, though, with the plethora of stars working under the guidance of Roberto Mancini bringing an extra dimension to the fixture.
"All derbies are big now - that is the nature of the landscape," said Ferguson.
"The impetus City now have - they have a huge squad of players and the financial power to attract some of the best footballers in the world - actually changes the focus of the derby these days.
"The talking point isn't so much the actual game but the dynamics of how Manchester City have changed football and what we do to compete with that."

To mark the first anniversary of her candy business, Maria Sharapova recently toyed with the idea of changing her last name to the brand's name, Sugarpova. Seriously! I thought this may just be one of those crazy celebrity rumors, but she set me straight when I caught up with her Tuesday night at Henri Bendel.
"I was definitely considering it," she admitted. "But, in the end, it would be too tough. I would have to change everything! I did think it would be really fun."
The tennis star made an appearance at the Bendel flagship Fifth Avenue store to celebrate her successful candy biz as well as Sugarpova's expansion into accessories such as jewelry, cosmetic bags, T-shirts, hats, and hair accessories.
She took a few minutes to show me her favorite pieces from the new collection, including these adorable bobby pins and earrings, which she will wear during the U.S. Open!
She will pair these with her peach-color Nike outfit. "It's fun putting a look together beforehand, because when I'm on the court, I'm just focused on tennis," she told me. "I really do like to accessorize and make my outfit a bit more fun."
She also pointed to these makeup bags, which she'll use to carry her beauty products when she travels (did you notice that they include those famous Henri Bendel stripes? They were made in partnership with the legendary specialty retailer).
"These are for the girl that's young and fun," she said."I like how accessories can put you into a good mood. When I started this [Sugarpova] I didn't want to be a serious businesswoman. I wanted this to be about having fun."
The business has grown because there is so much demand for that cute lips logo. "People around the world love it! I can't wait to see how they respond to it on jewelry."
Following the launch party last night, Sharapova is looking ahead to the U.S. Open, which starts later this month. I asked her if she has a particular item in mind that she's thinking about buying afterward, as a splurge. "I'm not big on trends, but I do love Celine bags," she said. "Maybe that will be my next big purchase."
There is no Celine bag in my future (sadly!), but I wouldn't mind spending a little money on those Sugarpova earrings. If you want to see the entire collection, check out henribendel.com or visit the Fifth Avenue location.
Are you excited to watch Maria Sharapova at the U.S. Open? What do you think of her new collection for Sugarpova?

White-collar crime, crime committed by persons who, often by virtue of their occupations, exploit social, economic, or technological power for personal or corporate gain. The term, coined in 1939 by the American criminologist Edwin Sutherland, drew attention to the typical attire of the perpetrators, who were generally businesspeople, high-ranking professionals, and politicians. Since Sutherland's time, however, such crimes have ceased to be the exclusive domain of these groups. Moreover, developments in commerce and technology have broadened the scope of white-collar crime to include cybercrime (computer crime), health-care fraud, and intellectual property crimes, in addition to more-traditional crimes involving embezzlement, bribery, conspiracy, obstruction of justice, perjury, money laundering, antitrust violations, tax crimes, and regulatory violations.
Specific examples of activities that constitute white-collar crimes include price collusion (conspiring with other corporations to fix the prices of goods or services as a means of obtaining artificially high profits or driving a competitor out of the market), falsifying reports of tests on pharmaceutical products to obtain manufacturing licenses, and substituting cheap, defective materials for costlier components specified in the construction of roads or buildings but charging the customer for the full cost of the specified materials. At times such activities can be attributed to individual employees or executives acting on their own initiative, but it is often the case that they represent a collective and organized effort by a corporation to increase its profits at any cost.
White-collar crime that is part of a collective and organized effort to serve the economic interests of a corporation is known as corporate crime. In some cases corporate crimes are conducted by bogus entities that pose as legal corporations or partnerships. Although corporations cannot be incarcerated, they can be criminally punished with fines and other sanctions. Criminal liability in these cases is based on the acts or omissions of the company's employees and executives.
Common characteristics
Although white-collar crimes are quite varied, most have several characteristics in common. First, they involve the use of deceit and concealment, rather than the application of force or violence, for the illegitimate gain of money, property, or services. A defendant convicted of making false statements in order to obtain a government contract, for example, is considered a white-collar criminal.
Next, white-collar crimes typically involve abuse of positions of trust and power. Public officials who solicit and accept bribes, or corporate officers who fix prices to drive competitors out of business, are engaging in such abuse of their positions. White-collar crime is also often more difficult to detect than other types of crime, in part because losses may not be immediately apparent to victims but also because the crimes can involve sophisticated schemes and cover-ups. Many white-collar crimes require concerted criminal activity by coconspirators. For example, a case of real-estate fraud may involve the knowing participation of an escrow officer, a buyer, an appraiser, and a bank officer, all of whom were willing to sign false documents to perpetrate a fraud for personal gain.
Fraud, the most common type of white-collar crime, involves obtaining money or services by making false representations or promises. The key question in these cases is ordinarily whether the defendant intended to deceive the victims or merely failed in an honest business venture. One of the most common types of fraud involves telemarketing schemes that misrepresent the value, the terms of sale, or the use of the goods or services being sold.
Perjury, obstruction of justice, false statements, and witness tampering are also considered white-collar crimes. Although the goal is not necessarily to obtain money or services, these crimes are illegal because they interfere with the proper functioning of the justice system. Bribery and extortion are more general, in that they constitute illegal means of influencing persons in power in public or private institutions. Bribery involves the giving of something of value in exchange for an official's exercise of power. Extortion is a threat made to obtain a benefit from either a public official or a private individual. Money laundering is a relatively new type of white-collar crime that is utilized by criminals wishing to conceal profits gained through illegal activities. Drug dealers and purveyors of counterfeit goods and currencies will create money-laundering schemes to hide the source of their earnings.
A wide variety of regulatory offenses are also considered to be white-collar crimes. These may include violation of tax laws, avoidance of currency-reporting requirements, securities violations, and environmental crimes. In addition to criminal punishment, those convicted of regulatory violations may also be subject to civil and administrative penalties. Such violations, unlike common-law crimes, may not require any criminal intent by the defendant. Instead, they may be seen as "strict liability" crimes for which mere failure to comply with the legal standards is sufficient grounds to establish criminal liability.
Computer crimes represent one means by which white-collar criminals exploit technology. Common examples cover a wide variety of criminal activity, including using a computer as a mechanism for committing securities fraud, credit-card fraud, and identity theft. Computer crimes also may involve illegally accessing and tampering with other users' computer files.
Cost to society
White-collar crime represents one of the fastest-growing types of crime in the world. Nearly every category of white-collar crime has increased in incidence in recent years. For example, over the course of two years in the early 21st century, annual losses from fraudulent use of identity rose by more than $300 million in the United States. (See Identity theft and invasion of privacy.) Likewise, while the number of almost every other type of civil lawsuit in the United States decreased around the turn of the 21st century, the number of government and private lawsuits for white-collar crimes more than doubled during the same time period.
This represented a trend, begun in the late 20th century, of a number of highly visible white-collar prosecutions in the United States. They included the prosecution of financiers Ivan Boesky (1986) and Michael Milken (1990) for billions of dollars in securities fraud, the convictions of banker Charles Keating (1992 and 1993) for having looted his own savings and loan (S&L), ultimately touching off what became known as the "S&L Crisis," and the guilty plea entered by Enron Corp.'s chief financial officer, Andrew Fastow (2004), on charges of having manipulated off-balance-sheet transactions (in this case, of having concealed the company's debt obligations by transferring them to offshore partnerships), which led to Enron's collapse. In an associated case, Enron's accounting firm, Arthur Andersen LLP, was convicted of obstruction of justice (2002; overturned in 2005), which caused the firm to go out of business.
Similar cases have occurred throughout the world. In February 1995, Barings Bank in London collapsed as a result of deceptions practiced over three years by one of its futures traders. In Canada, two people pleaded guilty in 2001 to having bilked financial institutions, including the Royal Bank, out of $92 million by creating 52 fake leases for nonexistent medical equipment.
Although white-collar crime has traditionally been viewed as less serious than other types of crime (largely because it does not involve physical violence), by the late 20th century there was a growing recognition of the significant harm it causes. In a single year, for example, nearly $500 million in restitution was awarded to victims of white-collar crimes.
The cost of corporate crime to society is many times that of organized crime or the more common street crime. Moreover, it cannot be measured in monetary damages alone, because corporate crimes can also pose health risks, compromise safety, cause injuries or fatalities, bring harm to wildlife and the environment, and lead to organizational failures and associated job losses. Owing to the concealed nature of many frauds and the fact that few are reported even when discovered, their cost is impossible to estimate precisely, but in the United States it is thought to be at least 10 times the combined cost of thefts, burglaries, and robberies. When compared with crimes committed by juveniles or the poor, corporate crimes are very rarely prosecuted in the criminal courts, and, despite many well-publicized convictions of corporate leaders found guilty of wrongdoing, executives rarely go to jail, though some companies may pay large fines.

This year during the annual "16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence" campaign, we've been highlighting various aspects of gender-based violence on DipNote -- from the economic, health, and legal costs to the potential for increased susceptibility to HIV and sexually-transmitted diseases. But at its core, the 16 Days campaign is about the actions individuals, communities, and nations must take to eliminate gender-based violence. As this year's campaign draws to a close, we wanted to share what we've heard from our colleagues at embassies around the world on how the communities in which they are located are addressing this issue -- from ribbon campaigns to art exhibits to volunteer efforts to raising awareness with young men and boys.
In Rwanda, the embassy organized a panel discussion with young people, including men and boys, about the different aspects of gender-based violence. Their discussion was recorded and edited into a podcast for distribution to local community radio stations across the country. Similarly, women in Fiji used community radio as a platform to discuss domestic violence, child abuse, and child labor, while community leaders in The Bahamas and Ethiopia hosted forums to discuss strategies for working with men and boys and with religious leadership to call for change.
Sometimes discussing difficult topics requires creative approaches. In Lithuania, our embassy hosted a photo exhibit of well-known Lithuanian women transformed to look as if they were affected by domestic violence. In Australia, the "Be the Hero!" project, an innovative, web-based violence prevention program, is encouraging young men to build respectful relationships with women by demonstrating that anyone can be a hero by choosing to live a life free of violence.
We've also heard from individuals around the world who included an action with their discussion. In Afghanistan, many women and men wore a purple ribbon as a sign of solidarity. In Nepal, at six American Corners located across the country, individuals signed pledges to end violence. Meanwhile, high-profile Mozambicans publicly signed their names in commitment to eliminate all forms of violence against women and girls in their communities.
Here in Washington, the Secretary's Office of Global Women's Issues organized a panel discussion exploring the health, economic, and social impacts of violence against women. The panel was moderated by Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues Melanne Verveer. We also partnered with the Women of the World Foundation, a movement started by Newsweek and Daily Beast to advance women and girls through stories and solutions, to create an online calendar highlighting specific events around the 16 Days campaign as well as the work of different organizations and the private sector to address and prevent violence against women.
Today, International Human Rights Day, marks the end of this year's 16 Days campaign, but violence against women and girls -- as well as against men and boys -- occurs every day of the year. We hope that you, too, will be inspired to take the call for activism beyond these 16 days. In the words of Secretary Clinton, "...Let us use the 16 Days to renew once again our commitment to end the abuse that traps so many women and girls around the world. Let us call out the culture of impunity that perpetuates this cycle of violence. And let us work together, in partnership, to make all forms of violence a thing of the past."
