Dayton Orders Flags Lowered to Honor Colorado Victims
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton is ordering flags lowered to half-staff to honor victims of the Colorado movie theater massacre.
Dayton signed a proclamation ordering all flags at state buildings in Minnesota lowered to half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Saturday.
In his proclamation, Dayton says "a terrible act of violence was committed against innocent men, women, and children in Aurora, Colorado."
A gunman threw gas canisters and opened fire on an audience watching a midnight showing of the new Batman movie in the Denver suburb, killing 12 people and wounding nearly 60 others.

Argentina: Lumpy Body Fat Compounds Stigma of AIDS
January 18, 2011
Adapted from:
For Argentine HIV/AIDS patients, lipodystrophy is a visual sign of an already stigmatized disease. The redistribution of body fat, a common side effect of antiretroviral drugs (ARVs), is generally played down by health professionals but can be one of the most pressing concerns of people living with HIV/AIDS.
Lipodystrophy is marked by loss of fat in the face, arms, legs, and buttocks. Fatty tissue can concentrate between the shoulder blades, a condition known as a "buffalo hump," and in the breasts and abdomen for both genders. Women may experience narrowing of the hips. The condition also can affect HIV-positive adolescents and children.

The Dolphins did more adjusting of their roster on Sunday, and as we discussed yesterday, the veteran defensive ends that made the final cuts Saturday won't be around for the team meeting Monday morning.
Will Allen also won't be around this year as he has been placed on injured reserve. Don't be surprised if Allen's Dolphins career comes to an end after he's healthy. He is signed through 2011 but it seems unlikely the team will pay him his scheduled $5.5 million for that season after he's missed almost two seasons with the same knee injury. Bringing him to camp next year will be an expensive risk the Dolphins may decide not to take.
Anyway, for an overview of the roster moves the team made Sunday click here.
Coach Tony Sparano met with the media late Sunday afternoon. It was a meeting that showed that the regular-season and it's pressures are here because Coach didn't seem eager to share anything that might help the Buffalo Bills.
Explain why the team made the roster decisions it did? No.
Give an update on Jake Long's knee injury? No.
Give an update on Channing Crowder? Nope.
I get it, good for the Dolphins ...
One answer that stuck out like a sore thumb was when Sparano was asked if he'd bring back David Martin, who was cut yeterday.
"We'll see," he said.
Um, no we won't see. Martin has joined the Buffalo Bills and by tomorrow will be downloading for Buffalo not only what the Miami offense is about, but perhaps telling offensive coaches about all the blitz packages Miami is using in practice. Ouch.
The Dolphins open the season Sunday against Buffalo.
I'm sure the Dolphins will say all that information sharing is over-rated. But I'd rather have a former Buffalo player giving the Dolphins information than have a former Miami player giving Buffalo information, that's for sure.
Anway, what follows is everything coach Sparano said to the media today:
(On why Will Allen was put on IR) –"Well, I'm not going to get into any specific reasons why we did any of these things. But I just think that - something that had to be done right now."
(On the team being very young and how many rookies are on the roster) –"18 total. Well (I mean) there's 18 first or second year players, whether they be rookies or first or second year players on the roster right now. But there's 23 guys on the roster that are five years or better. So, there's a good mix I think on the team as you look at it right now - you're trying to develop some young players and you have some of the young players that you have developed in that mix and then you have a good group of veteran players. I always thought that those five six year guys made up really your varsity - they were those guys that kind of grew up in your program a little bit. We've been fortunate now because we have a good group of 3 year guys right now on the team too with Jake Long and (Chad) Henne and (Kendall) Langford and these people here (you know) so, that's been a real positive group for us too. So, I like the makeup of the team. The strengths are good. There's youth and then there's some certainly some veteran leadership there."
(On how much did his experience with players like Davone Bess or Dan Carpenter (undrafted college free agents) in the past help him make the decisions that were made) - "I'd say quite a bit, yeah sure. I think that one of things with Davone Bess when he came in here that you learned is that - we got a chance to evaluate really a guy that was ahead of the curve I think from a receiving standpoint. You've seen this guy come into a NFL camp show great stamina during the camp - it wasn't too big for him at times, well most times I should say, it wasn't too big for him. And played good in the games when he would have the opportunity to. So, he learned a little bit from Davone (Bess) in that situation and I kind of felt like these two players have really done a lot of those things. (I mean) every challenge that we've thrown in front of these two guys, they have answered really. Had very few days out there where concentration issues and any of those things were factors. So, it didn't look like it was too big for them and when they went to the games they played pretty good. Not to mention that both of these guys can do a little bit more than maybe what they've been.
(On what he envisioned in Pat White when he was first drafted to the team) - "Just a young developing quarterback, that's all, really. It didn't have anything to do with - it didn't have anything to do with wildcat or any of those things. We liked the quarterback prospect and I think that the wildcat stuff, all of those things were icing on the cake. We knew that we would get those things in Pat (White) and could have had those things in Pat (White) that way. We used him in a few games in those situations, but, this was again a hard decision. Not an easy decision because he is a young player that has good developmental skills. It's more about what the other people at the position did I think in this situation. You look at what Tyler (Thigpen) has done in his time here right now. And he's played a lot of snaps and had a lot of opportunity to both have success and/or fail. And we felt like Tyler (Thigpen) has made good strides and he's a young players. He's one of these four year guys that we're talking about and then of course (Chad) Henne who's a three year player in that group, so. We really feel like the quarterback position and the decision on Pat (White) really had more to do with what the other people did, including Chad Pennington."
(On how he looks at the 2009 Draft) – "I just - I think you got to - you can't, you certainly can't dwell on the "what ifs" on any of those types of things. I think you got to look back and you got to try to think about what you got out of it. I mean I look at guys like (Chris) Clemons and some of these people and say hey, these are pretty positive guys right now that maybe - who knows, a while ago we were thinking we needed - we had to have a free safety and we had to go out and spend a lot of money for one and maybe there's one there that we got in the fifth round, so."
(On if he looks at that and uses it as a learning experience) – "I think we evaluate everything we do. I think you go through this and you evaluate everything you do with the ones that maybe didn't work out. But I also think you got to look at the ones that have worked, okay, and you got to look at these ones that you've stolen. And part of our philosophy here, and I've made that very clear is just that the time after that you're off, okay, this whole free agent period right now, for us is an extension of the draft. It's no different than accumulating seventh round picks right now. So, and I think that we've done a pretty good job in that phase right now to see ... really we've had three free agents make the team right now with the two young guys in receivers and Micah (Johnson). So, that's - those are like added draft picks for us."
(On how tough it was to let go of David Martin)– "Yeah, it was really tough, really tough. So, (You know) in the last - in that. I told the team yesterday, I said look, I don't expect anybody really - you certainly - nobody needs to feel sorry for me in this situation, that's part of my job. But it wasn't a good day yet it was a good day in that once the decisions were made, we were able to move on and really get a good look at this 53-man squad right now and you have excitement and enthusiasm about what lies ahead with this 53-man squad right now. (I mean) I like the makeup of it. But those decisions when you're making them, they're hard decisions, (I mean) they really are because (you know) you know these people personally and in one way or the other they've done something for you. And I'm not naïve enough to know that David Martin isn't a guy that's done something for me since I've been here and I appreciate that."
(On if Jermey Parnell is going to play offensive line and tight end) –"Right now he's going to play offensive line, so."
(On if they're going to head into the season with just two tight ends for now) –"Well that's the way we're heading right now. We'll see."
(On if there's any chance on bringing David Martin back) – "Well see."
(On if John Nalbone can be a legitimate pass catching threat in the offense) – "I think so, yeah. I think that John, one of the - I think one of John's redeeming qualities is the fact that he can run and catch down the field and we've seen it in practices we've seen it that way. We've seen it over the last year, so this is a guy that we think has gotten a lot better right now. He's certainly has made improvement along the way. We'll just have that - time will tell. (I mean) this guy hasn't been in a game yet. So, we'll see."
(On if he's still looking for something with the backup offensive lineman) – "Kind of still looking for the right combination of people. I think we're a little bit closer to the right combination of people certainly. And I think the additions of the people that we just added here recently I think will help us with (Jermey) Parnell and (Joe) Reitz. So I think that that'll help us a little bit right now. But I think one of the things you can't - you got to be careful not to - when you're putting a line together make sure that you have tackles - those positional players are a little different than - you want to have good - you want to have a number of backs those type of people because I think as you get on in this thing later on they're hard to find. So, from my end, position flexibility some of those things maybe guys that can do a few more jobs and help a little bit. Now (Cory) Procter was one of those guys, he could do some jobs but I think there's some other guys here including couple of the ones that we just brought in that we feel like can do some of those jobs."
(On if the team is making an effort to become younger; accurate or coincidental) – "It's just coincidental in those areas. I just think that - I think one of the things within the defensive line area is that you do have a couple of young developing players there that we just picked up. So I think - and they're guys that we thought highly of. So, had they not been out there in that situation we certainly maybe wouldn't have done what we did today. But because they were out there in that situation we had the ability to get them and we thought highly of them in the draft. This was an opportunity to get a couple of players that were young and developed and in what we're finding out is that these interior guys - you know they're the guys that play the most plays at the end of this whole thing. It isn't the receivers it isn't the running backs it isn't those people. These guys go out there and they're playing 75-80 plays at the level that they have to play from a physical standpoint you just don't have enough of them and you would hope that they would be young enough and have enough stamina to do what you need them to do."
(On his comfort level with his corner backs) – "Well I think one of the things is, obviously I feel comfortable with the group. I think Vontae's really had a really good camp, so I feel really comfortable there. I thought Jason Allen had a really productive camp. I think Sean's (Smith) gotten better. I know that Sean had a couple rough go's at times in a few ball games, but I feel the guy's gotten better. He's another one of these two year players, so from that end. The addition of Nolan Carroll I think is going to be a good addition for us there, and Benny (Sapp is a good addition). I think those that people will help us a little bit; they give us jobs at the game and at the same time are competitive corners. I can remember coming in here my first year and being able to look around at some of the names at that time and now where we are right now. I mean we got five corners that I feel like can go in the game and compete. We'll see, I mean I know they're young; I got it, but they were young last year too."
(On what he likes about the newly acquired Pat McQuistan) – "Pat McQuistan is a guy that of course I had with me in Dallas and I brought him in as a free agent at the time and he is a, first of all he's a smart player, second of all he can play a few positions. He's a durable player; the guy I mean he keeps going and a really strong guy. There's a lot of things I like about Pat that way and I've had good experience with him. He's helped himself in the last, you know the last year or so since I've been gone where he's kind of been able to go in and play guard. In our game the other night he played two positions; he played and really on both sides, so he really played all four spots except for center out there in the course of the game which was pretty good."
(On whether he would have had more patience with Will Allen's injury if Vontae Davis and Sean Smith hadn't seen so much playing time last season) – "I mean just, obviously knowing more about Sean and Vontae and seeing the progress of Jason Allen makes those decisions easier I think. Getting the surprise, I wouldn't call it a surprise, I shouldn't call it that, but seeing the progress of Nolan Carroll throughout this whole camp. I think those type of guys make that decision a little bit easier. I mean it certainly isn't an easy decision though to be able to do that with a ten year guy."
(On whether he has any information on Channing Crowder's unspecified injury) – "No, no more information that I'm going to give you today. So I believe Wednesday's the first time I really have to do that."
(On this year's expectations compared to his first two seasons as head coach) – "To me the expectations are really high going into this season, no question about it. I think that for us, we want to be in the playoffs, so those are the expectations. Now some people can stand up there and talk about it and not really feel like they have a chance to do it but think it's the right thing to say, okay. I really believe that we have a chance to do this. This football team walking in the door on Monday knows the expectations clearly, okay. They're not going to back down from the expectations, and that's what I would tell you. I mean the expectations for us are that we continue to improve here and get to the playoffs and give ourselves a chance."
(On what positions newly acquired Jermey Parnell and Joe Reitz play on the offensive line) – "Yeah, guard and tackle; again, Reitz can do a little bit of both. So, a Nate Garner like type of guy."
(On whether Pat McQuistan is also a Nate Garner type of player) – "Yeah I mean, so same deal. So now you're gaining on me and I know that, I don't want to spend a lot of time with this but like with Cory (Proctor), you think well you lost a guard, okay and that type of thing, but you really did gain two you know here in these couple moves too. They can play guard and tackle which helps you a little bit."
(On the status of Jake Long's knee) – "You'll find out Wednesday."
(On Quentin Moses and his value to the team) – "Here's what I think Quentin has done right now. In the ball games that Quentin has played in, of course he missed a game there. This guy against the run I think is probably one of the better guys that we've had against the run. I mean he'll punch you; he can knock the tight end back. With he and Ike (Ikaika Alama-Francis) and Koa (Misi) right now, you feel a little bit stronger there, and what he's done is he's also gone in the game and given you a little bit of pass rush. Now he's done that even last year at times when we brought him up in the few opportunities that we did bring him to the game, he was able to rush the passer and get to the quarterback a little bit that way. I think those are the things he's done; what he needs to do right now is he needs to continue to, to progress on special teams because that's going to be important for him as we get on in this thing too is that, that role gets better, but I think that that's what he's done."


text: The professor I am going to ask knows me as a sort of a troublemaker, but in a good sense. I would like him to write on the LOR that "swifty always challended almost every theory (econ) I put before him. He would never just take a book, or a professor's word for it. He wanted it explained, and on many occasions, his questions led to some real great discussions in the classroom, and he managed to get the class involved during every class; something I cannot do alone as a professor."

NVIDIA Got Art Josh Harris
NVIDIA Got Art / Sketch Match contest was created to bring those in the creative field, students and professionals attending GDC, Siggraph, and NVIDIA's NVISION, back to their art school roots in a fun and exciting way. The idea was to bring back the raw energy of conceptualizing on the fly, and throw in a fun factor of competition. Hosted by members of our own Creative team, themes for each drawing match were selected on the fly, then contestants were charged with the task of creating a visual that incorporated that particular theme and some form of the NVIDIA logo within 20 minutes. These artists competed for awesome prizes from partners like PNY, Autodesk, Softimage, Adobe, Luxology, and WACOM. The setting was designed to give the feel of the artist's atelier, which included drawing sawhorses and drawing tools like charcoals, pastels, chalk and an occasional volunteer model. The vibe was fun, the results were great. These wallpapers are a taste of the raw talent we tapped into using random themes like: Big, Monster, Gorgeous, Strong, Mysterious, Ambiguous, and Acceleration, to name a few. In each case you can see some sort of theme and the NVIDIA logo infused into each artist's interpretive creation.

who the F is that? Reminds me of when Mark Sisk, bishop of NY, showed up at Ground Zero a few days after 9-11 in mitre and cope. Strode around past the rescue workers and fire fighters doing the beauty queen wave.
Search as I might, I can't find those photos - someone on the staff must have expunged them, down the memory hole.

Is this an attempt at public relations by a man in a space suit to present an image of strength to random individuals whose live may be in chaos or crisis?
Man, I hope not. Good-bye Episcopal Church. Can you hear the flushing sound?

The article is from 2009, the first time they did this. The best part is the end of the article...at least one passerby briefly thought the two groups were together. awesome.

Did they have to have a priest with a collar with the bishop so people would recognize them as clergy? In that outfit, who would know it was a "man of the 'cloth'".
At least this cope isn't as hideous as some of the others. Looks like buildings on it. Where's the center focus - Jesus, God, the Holy Spirt? Missing. All about man and his accomplishments. So TEC.

Oh, now I see! People need more bishops playing dress up in their lives. Not more God, prayer, and accountability. Job validation. That's all this is about.

It might be good to cut TEC some slack in this case. If you follow the link above, you'll see the Bishop in question is from Toronto.
Not that the Anglican Church in Canada is in any better shape.
- January 8, 2011 at 1:38 PM
I don't like the outfit, but I'm not really thrilled by the comments either. This bishop's choice of vestments has nothing to do with Anglicanism or ECUSA it is simply his poor taste.
At least he is out greeting people and not spending all his time in a locked office behind a mahogany desk.
- January 9, 2011 at 9:40 AM
I'm all for the outreach, but if you're going to do it you should break out the most awe-inspiring vestments you've got. Liturgics is one of the main things Anglicans have going for them - otherwise you might as well put on a polo shirt and a pair of khakis and sing 'Awesome God'.
- January 10, 2011 at 2:13 PM
Casting aside any comment I might make about the Bishop's choice of cope, I AM heartened that an Anglican Bishop would be at the station inviting people to attend church. We need more of that from
Bishops and other clergy as well!
Bravo Bishop!!

Problem is, even if this person was vested in more traditional and proper regalia such that would not disregulate folks' delicate aesthetic sensibilities, his theology or lack thereof would still make him a clear and present danger to the public.
- January 11, 2011 at 7:16 PM
- The Reverend Steven P. Sabin said...
I don't really like the cope. The real issue for me is that vestments are for use in liturgical functions, they are not costumes or advertisements. In my opinion, a bishop on the street should wear a black suit and clerical shirt with the pectoral cross. If one is very "High Church" or trying to make a statement, then wear the cassock and cross. This picture makes me think, "What if they had a liturgy and no one came?"
- January 11, 2011 at 8:49 PM
We used to not like it when the Hare Krishnas did the same thing in airports -- dressed in their bright (orange) robes and handed out literature or asked for money.
I like it no more in this case.
If the guy is trying to reach his people, why doesn't he or his underling priests contact the people on their membership rosters by phone or a home visit and find out why they are not attending. He wouldn't even have to dress up for it.

My issue with this is the cope doesn't reflect what he's about.
There are a lot of people out there who don't have a clue what vestments are about. This guy could be a KKK, a Harry Potter wanna be, etc.

I agree with Fr. Sabin that the bishop's attire is not steet wear.
It is also more appropriate for 'pop' occasions such as clown liturgies or the recent Dr. Seuss TEC liturgy. His garments look more like those of a jester than a celebrant prepared to lead worship.

This is Colin Johnson, the Anglican Archbishop of Toronto. The cope was created for the anniversary of the diocese of Toronto and represents aspects of the diocese including some of the individual churches from each deanery. He and two other bishops were at the busiest commuter station to invite people to attend church that weekend. The whole point was to attract attention and they did in the press, tv, etc. If had just worn a suit, I don`t think he would have been stood out in the crowd.

HAIRY: An Interview with Chris Sollars
For the last year, Bay Area artist Chris Sollars has sported a biblical behemoth of a beard, although his cleanly shaven cheeks are once again on view in Sollars's newest project, Hairy, shown as part of YBCA's Bay Area Now. It's an interesting update on an identity-probing lineage that includes predecessors like Chris Burden, Gordon Matta Clark, James Luna, Ana Mendieta, and David Hammons. DailyServing[…..]

… or, A Story of How a Coding
C*Screw-Up Made Bangladesh One of the Least Tolerant Countries in the World. (Spoiler: It isn't!)
What We Thought We Knew
Yesterday, the Washington Post put out a story, A fascinating map of the world's most and least racially tolerant countries. In that map, India and Bangladesh stuck out like a baboon's butt as bastions of intolerance in the world. It's reproduced below; red implies that more people said they "would not want neighbors of a different race".
In fact, the percentages are more than a little damning:
"India, Jordan, Bangladesh and Hong Kong by far the least tolerant. In only three of 81 surveyed countries, more than 40 percent of respondents said they would not want a neighbor of a different race. This included 43.5 percent of Indians, 51.4 percent of Jordanians and an astonishingly high 71.8 percent of Hong Kongers and 71.7 percent of Bangladeshis."
Three thoughts occurred to me in this order:
- Wow that's an odd basket of countries to be lumped together as the most intolerant!
- Ouch! Yeah I'm Bangladeshi.. and while I'll be the first to admit we have our own favorite national stereotypes and periods of ethnographically inspired excitement, least tolerant? Really?
- I wonder if someone fat fingered on this big time.
Thanks to the fact that both Max Fisher of WaPo and World Values Survey folks freely shared their sources, we can take a dive into the data that generated the map to explore thought #3 to our heart's content.
The short answer is, yes, someone did fat finger this big time. "Yes" and "No" got swapped in the second round of the survey, which means that 28.3% of Bangladeshis said they wouldn't want neighbors of a different race – not 71.7%.
26K Facebook likers and 2.5K Tweeters, take note.
Now, the long version for the data wonks amongst you. By the way this piece is restricted to Bangladesh – time, and ability to read primary questionnaire being main constraints.
What the WVS Data Really Says
(Spoiler: Data says it's confused…)
There were 5 waves of data collection:
- 1981-1984
- 1989-1993
- 1994-1999
- 1999-2004
- 2005-2007
Bangladesh has data for the third and fourth wave.
First, lets reproduce the 71.7% number. We can use the interactive query tool WVS has set up on their website at: http://www.wvsevsdb.com/wvs/WVSIntegratedEVSWVSvariables.jsp?Idioma=I
"Mentioned" basically means "Yes" (we'll explore this in detail in a bit).
What about the 1996 survey? Here's the same page with 1996 data (table shown only):
If the oddity isn't jumping out to you yet, let's use something a little more visually friendly to compare the 1996 and 2002 numbers. WVS also makes available a Online Data Analysis toolkit at http://www.wvsevsdb.com/wvs/WVSAnalizeQuestion.jsp. With a literal tinkering, we can get to this screen:
"Mentioned" (the measure for less tolerance) went from 17.3% to 71.7%, while "Not Mentioned" went from 82.7% to 28.3%.
a) something WTHBBQPWN&%$#* happened in those 6 years that made 54.4% Bangladeshis do a 180 degree on their tolerance levels, OR
b) the coding got messed up and "Mentioned" is either 82.7% and 71.7% in 1996 and 2002 respectively, or 17.3% and 28.3% respectively.
For a survey size of N = 1,500ish, b) is always your safer bet when no obvious change agent is involved, endogenous or exogenous.
(If you're Bangladeshi, you're also probably laughing your behind off at a) since the 54.4% number involves tens of millions of people in a generally syncretistic society where appreciation for that heritage has arguably only increased with the younger generations, but that's "anecdotal" for the purposes of this piece, so we'll leave that thought there.)
If your data analysis foo is up to the task, I'd encourage you to check out the raw data itself to confirm that this is also the case there. The dataset is generously available at: http://www.wvsevsdb.com/wvs/WVSData.jsp
I used the STATA file for the "WVS FIVE WAVE AGGREGATED FILE 1981-2005" dataset; you can also choose SPSS or SAS formats if they suit your toolkit better. For Stata, the relevant command is:
tab S002 A124_02 if S003 == 50
Giving the result:
| Neighbours: People of | a different race Wave | Not menti Mentioned | Total --------------------+----------------------+---------- 1994-1999 | 1,261 264 | 1,525 1999-2004 | 425 1,075 | 1,500 --------------------+----------------------+---------- Total | 1,686 1,339 | 3,025
(S002 is the Wave, A124_02 is the question under study, and S003 contains the country, with Bangladesh being code 50.)
What Should The Data Say?
(Spoiler: Bangladeshis are a tolerant bunch – it's ok to come visit.)
Ok, now that we are reasonably certain the data is confused, which way will it point once we de-confuse it? For this, we need to turn to the actual questionnaires. These too are available at http://www.wvsevsdb.com/wvs/WVSDocumentation.jsp?Idioma=I.
First, the 1996 survey. The relevant section is reproduced below (Bangladesh_WVS_1996_1.pdf, pg 10):
The top line is the question, basically asking who the respondent "does not want or would not like to have as a neighbor".
The first column, উল্লেখ করেছেন, means "Mentioned" – to be selected if the respondent notes a particular group of individuals (V51 – V60) are unwelcome neighbors.
The second column, উল্লেখ করেন নি, means "Not Mentioned" – this is for the more chillaxed bunch.
Now, let's look at the 2002 survey. The relevant section is reproduced below (Bangladesh_WVS_2002_1.pdf, pg 19):
The top line has the same question as above, verbatim. The first or second column headers are not the same though.
The first column, প্রতিবেশী হিসেবে পছন্দ করবো, means "Would like [X] as a neighbor" – to be selected if the respondent notes a particular group of individuals (V68 – V77) are welcome neighbors.
The second column, প্রতিবেশী হিসেবে পছন্দ করবো না, means "Would not like [X] as a neighbor" – this is for the less chillaxed bunch.
Yeah… oops!
'1' and '2' stand for totally the opposite things in the two surveys.
Unless we are willing to allow that the data input folks consciously converted a '2' in 2002 to a '1' in 1996 to connect প্রতিবেশী হিসেবে পছন্দ করবো না to উল্লেখ করেছেন, I think it's reasonable to assume that '1' was also coded for "Mentioned"/উল্লেখ করেছেন in the 2002 dataset, leading to a flip in the results for that question for that wave. Spot checks also suggest that this is what would be consistent with surveys from other countries.
With everything righted the right way, here then is what the final numbers look like:
Yes, 28.3%, not 71.7%.
- I only looked at the question that was used for the tolerance/intolerance WaPo piece. This inconsistency shouldn't be extrapolated to any part of the rest of the Bangladesh survey unless one has double checked for that.
- I ran this for the Bangladesh dataset only. No idea if any of this applies to any other country dataset – same caution as above applies.

I am 62 years old now. I began painting water colours and oils while at The Doon School, Dehradun, India under the guidance of Rathin Mitra. Rathin did excellent linework and has sketched most of the significant monuments of Calcutta and also many other national monuments, cities, towns and landscapes. While in college in the early 70s I discovered the artist in me, when I began sketching with a passionate frenzy. That is the time I broke out of traditional forms and discovered Picasso and his contemporaries. Around this time I created a large number of watercolour landscapes with quick brush strokes creating patterns and colours that fascinated me. I also began experimenting with distorted figures and faces. Around the same time I saw the...

The premise of this thread is that you (yes, you!) can add any lines or make corrections wherever you wish, even if it's just one line. To put it one way, it's like the collaboration that goes on on a wiki, but without the wiki software. Or to put it another way, it's like the collaboration that'd go on on open source software.
There are [/will be] a lot of holes, but every little bit helps and I'm asking everyone here to expand this if they can. Don't worry about timing anything; we'll do that later. The timestamps on this are just rough guidelines to show where in the episode the lines should go.
I figure that the number that can half-ass understand what's going on is somewhat high, at least much higher than the number of people who have a full understanding and are able to take the time to do a full translation.
Just a few guidelines to make the process smooth:
Added: - If you edit your previous post to correct the translation, mark it either by bolding the new version or
striking outthe old one. This will help update the timed script without missing anything.
- If you're planning to spend more time translating a longer section of the episode, make a post saying which times are you covering (eg. 2:30 - 6:00) so someone doesn't double your work at the same time. Once you're done edit your post and paste the translation.
- If there's a longer gap between the dialogues, insert a new timestamp.
- If you're skipping one line in the middle of an otherwise translated dialogue, make sure to mark it (a bunch of "???" or "..." will do).
- For now, do not mark who says what unless necessary, it makes inserting the lines into a timed script harder.
- When you spot a mis-translation, correct it!
- Focus on getting the meaning accurate, don't worry if the translation becomes too wordy or awkward. Editors will fix that.
- Enjoy, because you're awesome for contributing even one line.
Plan for today's lesson:
1. Keep checking the general SJG thread where someone will hopefully post yt links after the show airs.
2. As Al suggested, create a quick and dirty translation of the whole episode. This is the stage where everyone is especially welcome to contribute.
3. Once that's done, Al goes over the script and rewrites it if necessary.
4. In the meantime, translate the complete opening credits. I know that majority of the names are the same from episode to episode, but as they keep moving them around having them all written out makes typesetting much easier.
5. Also translate the signs. Use common sense to determine which need translating, or wait until I post a collage of signs requiring translation once I get my hands on the episode.

Template:I18n links start Template:I18n entry Template:I18n entry Template:I18n links end
Clam AntiVirus is an open source (GPL) anti-virus toolkit for UNIX. It provides a number of utilities including a flexible and scalable multi-threaded daemon, a command line scanner and advanced tool for automatic database updates. Because ClamAV's main use is on file/mail servers for Windows desktops it primarily detects Windows viruses and malware.
Install with pacman by:
# pacman -S clamav
Whether you are going to use clamav as a daemon or use it as a simple file checker you need to comment out Example in the Template:Filename file(you probably need to do the same to Template:Filename in the same dir too) and update the virus & malware database.
Update Database
The daemon needs to be running for the virus update to be updated:
# /etc/rc.d/clamav start
Then update the virus definitions with:
# freshclam
The database files are saved in:
/var/lib/clamav/daily.cvd /var/lib/clamav/main.cvd
Server setup
To run as a server edit Template:Filename and Template:Filename and comment out the Example flag. In Template:Filename change the start options from "no" to "yes".
# change these to "yes" to start START_FRESHCLAM="yes" START_CLAMD="yes"
- To start clamav at boot edit Template:Filename and add clamav.
Scan for Viruses
Template:Codeline can be used to scan certain files, home directory, or an entire system:
$ clamscan myfile $ clamscan -r -i /home $ clamscan -r -i --exclude-dir=^/sys\|^/proc\|^/dev /
If you'd like Template:Codeline to remove the infected file use the Template:Codeline option in the command.
If you get the following messages after running freshclam:
WARNING: Clamd was NOT notified: Can't connect to clamd through /var/lib/clamav/clamd.sock connect(): No such file or directory
Add a sock file for clamav:
# touch /var/lib/clamav/clamd.sock # chown clamav:clamav /var/lib/clamav/clamd.sock
If you get the next error when starting the daemon:
LibClamAV Error: cli_loaddb(): No supported database files found in /var/lib/clamav ERROR: Not supported data format
Run freshclam as root:
# freshclam -v

BD in ENG 2005
Complete coverage of Bangladesh on their maiden away tour of England.
True to captain Habibul Bashar's words, this has been a tough tour for
Before the 2-Test series in English Bangladesh played three tour matches,
drawing with British Universties, losing by an innings to Sussex and then
drawing the final match with Northamptonshire.
They lost the 2 Tests predictably - both innings defeats. However, Bangladesh
performed creditably in the second innings of the second and final Test
to recover some pride for the NatWest series.
Results Summary
Tour match, May 10-13, v British Universities, Fenner's - Match drawn
Tour Match: May 15-17, v Sussex, Hove - Sussex won by an innings &
226 runs
Tour Match: May 20-22, v Northamptonshire, Northampton - Match drawn
Test 1: May 26-30, 1st Test, Lord's - England won by an innings and 261
Test 2: June 3-7, 2nd Test, Chester-le-Street - England won by an innings
and 27 runs.
Immediately following the Test series Bangladesh is to participate in
the 2005 edition of the NatWest series with England and Australia. You
can find our complete coverage here.
Ashraful: Coming of Age?
"This will be our toughest tour ever. But at the end of it,
irrespective of the results, ours will be a much, much better
team. You can't get stronger opponents than England and Australia,
and if we can push both teams, who are at the peak of their
prowess, and show fight, imagine what wonders that can do to the
confidence of a young side like ours."

I know it is beneficial to disable HT until you upgrade to a kernel that has an HT aware scheduler (either a patch to 2.4.19 or the upcoming O1 scheduler in 2.5). Is that the reason here, or is there another reason to not use HT in a HPC cluster? Nathan

HIV Diagnosis
How long ago did you find out you were HIV positive?
My mom told me I was HIV positive when I was, what, six years old. She was like, "Raven, do you know that you are HIV positive?" And I didn't understand at that time what it meant. But I used to see ads on TV and stuff like that. And I asked her, "Are we gonna die?" And she was like, "No, there is medicine that won't take the disease away, but it will just take care of us." At first, when she told me I was HIV positive, I thought it was like a cold or something. I said, "Mommy, so it will go away?" And she was like, "No. It won't go away, but it is something that we live with."
You were born with HIV, correct?
Yes, I was.
How did you feel when she told you?
I felt sad, after a while. And when I started learning about it more, I felt sad and I didn't want to be bothered with nobody and stuff. Like, I really didn't know what to do.
How did your feelings change over time?
As I got older, I understood it more. And my mother, she's an outgoing person, and -- I'm not gonna lie. I had to deal with a lot of stigma and stuff, but my mom would always be at my side and say, "Well, you know, we have to do what we have to do and just get over it." But it was very hard for me to get over because a lot of kids used to make fun of me.
Sometimes my mom would be on Ricki Lake or Oprah, or they'd see us in magazines or TV, and they would be like, "Oh, Raven's got the monster," and things like that. I used to cry a lot. I used to come home. Sometimes I used to stay in the bathroom and not go to class and stuff. It's changed because now I'm in high school and now all of my close, close friends know.
How long do you think it takes to really process an HIV diagnosis?
It takes a while, because there are some people who don't know what to do if they find out.
What advice would you offer to somebody who has just found out they are HIV positive?
I would just say, "Keep trying. I understand how you feel because I went through the same thing. But you just gotta keep your head up. You're still a human being -- but there is just this one thing, that we have the virus."
What do you think is the first thing someone who has just found out they are positive should do?
If they think that they are [positive] already, they should talk to a psychologist, set up somebody to talk to. Let it out and stuff. Don't do nothing stupid or hurt yourself. I would tell them to talk to somebody -- or they could even come talk to me.
How has HIV changed you?
I have not changed my life, because I feel that I am a normal kid. I am a human being. And like I said, there is only one thing -- I have the virus and I have to take these pills everyday. But I feel like a human being and there is nothing else that is different about me.
Are you afraid of dying?
Nope. Because I am going to a better place and, to tell you the truth, I wish I was with my auntie right now. She passed away. She had cancer.
Personal Bio
Tell us a little about your life.
I'm 15, about to turn 16. I live with my mom and my older brother in the Bronx -- it's fun -- but my mom wants us to move back to Brooklyn. To tell you the truth, I wish I could live in Trinidad. I miss Trinidad. I miss the hot sun. I miss my grandmother's cooking, and her waking me up in the morning. I miss the beach, going on the boats, everything.
I'm in the 10th grade. Umm ... I'm talking to someone right now, and it is starting to get serious. He doesn't go to my school, but he knows about my status. Oh, and I had a pet. I want another one -- a puppy.
Do you plan to have children in the future?
Yes, I want two kids. No, as a matter of fact, I want four -- two boys and two girls.
Where did you grow up?
I grew up in the Bronx most of my life.
Any thoughts of college or what work you want to do?
Yes. I want to go to Harvard and I want to be a lawyer.
Was there anything that you wanted to be when you were younger that you totally changed your mind about?
I always wanted to be a lawyer because my godmother is. But I always used to like ... crime movies, mysteries. I like to solve crimes and stuff like that.
Who are the most influential people in your life?
To tell you the truth, I used to look up to my mother, and in a way I still do. But I look up to my godmother now because, you know, she's a lawyer and I want to be in her shoes.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I like to talk on the phone, go outside, go shopping and have fun.
Are you a religious or spiritual person?
Yes, I am a Baptist. My family is a spiritual family.
Do you attend a church?
Yes, I do.

Yeah ... the lower end switches usually don't talk about their backplane bandwidth, for good reason. A fair number of the lower end switches will happily toss packets under load. Fine for desktop users, not so fine for clusters. This said, we have had good luck with a few lower end switches.

Beyond iCEBOX Flipscreen
Posted by Categories: Accessories, PC / Laptop,
I remember as a kid when the first under the cabinet clock radio was released and we got one for our kitchen. Years later they made an under the cabinet TV. We never got one because my mother hated television. Now I find myself explaining to my wife why I need an iCEBOX. No - this isn't a new refrigerator - it's a small LCD screen which is capable of being used as a TV, DVD player, CD player, radio, and touch screen computer. It has a wireless mouse and keyboard, and can also pick up wireless cameras so it makes an excellent way to watch the baby while cooking dinner. To top all that off, if has built in wireless internet as well as an ethernet port. I'm sure my wife will understand soon enough.

Napster To Go Loophole
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Portable Audio / Video, Software,
It has not been two weeks since the launch of Napster's To Go service, and already there is a crack that allows you to circumvent the subscription's copy protection. Armed with a Napster To Go subscription, Winamp, and Output Stacker Winamp Plug-in, burning audio CDs from Napster To Go library turns into a feasible task. All you would have to do is download the track from Napster, load it into Winamp, convert to WAV, and burn them using your favorite CD burning software. We are not advising you do this, just pointing out an incentive to choose Napster instead of iTunes.

Japan Import: The Professor's Cube
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Misc. Tech,
I can't wait to take a trip to Japan someday. They always seem to get the coolest stuff first out there. Take this new Professor's Cube, for instance. Having one of these sitting on your desk will show everyone you're just too smart for the regular edition. I'd love to let some friends try it, just to see them go permanently insane from the frustration. I don't get it…all you have to do is rearrange the stickers.

Methanol Fuel Cells Being Tested
Posted by Categories: Misc. Tech,
High octane MP3s are soon to be a reality. DTI Energy of California has joined the small group of licensees trying to create fuel cells using methanol as a base. Methanol, air and water are combined to create a thermodynamic (heat releasing) reaction between the hydrogen in methanol and oxygen, which produces electricity. These fuel cells are estimated to be 5 times more powerful then standard batteries, and when they run out, you simply refill the methanol. Estimates say these cells are ten times more powerful than Lithium Ion batteries.

Wearable Warnings Electroshock Clothing
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Wearables,
Want to keep creeps away from from you, but don't have a pair of nunchucks with you at all times? Wearable Warnings, a project by Philip Worthington at the RCA in London, is a prototype coat that helps you do just that. From their website:
The prototype design is a coat with warning strips of fur that become electro-statically charged in situations where the wearer feels threatened. When charged the fur begins to stand on end; a visual indication that the wearer is uncomfortable. If someone invades the wearer's personal space they will begin to feel a second warning; as they enter the coat's electrostatic field they will feel tingling skin sensations and their hair will stand on end. The fur will begin to twitch toward them and emit crackling sounds. If the 'threat' proceeds to touch the fur then 100,000 volts of electro-static charge discharges from the fur, into the offender's body (non-lethal but definitely a bite).
They forgot to mention that it makes you look like a B-movie monster.

Here's an interesting photo we received on the good 'ole CrackBerry tip line this week.... coming from Staples Canada, it seems the district managers are planning to hold a challenge on April 15th for bragging rights for the District that sells the most PlayBooks that day. And it looks like they'll follow-up the challenge the following Friday, April 22nd, as well (I guess assuming they don't sell out the week before and still have inventory on the 22nd).
I take this to mean two things.... a) that this means the BlackBerry PlayBook will be on sale in Canada on or before April 15th, and b) whatever district Winnipeg is in will probably win as I'll be there picking them up by the shopping cart load (kinda want to mount a couple into the headrests of my vehicle!).
At this point, it would be real nice if Research In Motion would just give us some official release dates and pricing, so we can quit with the unofficial rumors and move onto making plans to buy one on launch day. If it falls on a weekday, who's calling in sick for work?

Apartments crumble on Kelly Street
Buildings are among worst in city, housing judge says
The rotten stench of garbage hangs heavy over the 900 block of Kelly Street, just north of Intervale Avenue, where five neglected apartment buildings are crumbling into disrepair.
Many windows are broken or boarded up. Trash is everywhere – piled next to stoops, crammed into alleyways, and spilling over sidewalks.
Refuse in the lobbies and foyers feed the rats that run through the halls.
"A rat jumped on my daughter right here," said Loida Gomez in the lobby of 935 Kelly Street.
Other tenants live with rats running through their apartments. Anna Grullon of 928 Kelly Street has tried to patch holes in her floor and walls herself, but says, "I still share my food with rats."
Since 2008 the five buildings, 916, 920, 924, 928, and 935 Kelly, have taken turns on the city Department of Housing Preservation and Development's list of the city's 200 worst multiple dwellings.
The city regularly makes emergency repairs to them, fixing water, sewage, and heat problems among other issues. It has spent $1 million so far, according to housing department records.
The owner of the buildings, Kelly Street Realty Inc., is nowhere to be found. Records at the city Department of Finance show Ridgewood Savings Bank issued the company a $5 million mortgage in 2009, despite 421 housing department violations in the prior year. Little of that money appears to have gone into the buildings.
At the time of the loan, city estimates of the market value for the properties totaled $7.06 million; two years later, the city estimate is $3.9 million.
After the loan went into foreclosure, Ridgewood Savings transferred it to another company, WFHA Kelly LLC., which assumed the mortgage earlier this year. But the city is the only one taking care of the properties.
"The owners have walked away," ruled Housing Judge Jerald Klein at a hearing on March 16 at which the landlord failed to appear. The court will now appoint an administrator to oversee the buildings.
Meanwhile, they sink further into decay.
The whole top floor of 928 Kelly St. is boarded up, damaged by a fire.
Korrein Castro of 916 Kelly St. has a gaping hole in her living room ceiling. "The sheetrock just fell down," she said. The housing department fixed it once, but it fell again.
Mayra Quinones, who lives in 920 Kelly Street, has "a lotta rats," she says. She also has a broken window, and broken tiles in her bathroom.
Mold and mushrooms grow in the bathroom of Viviana Aguera's apartment in 916 Kelly Street, the result of a leak in her ceiling.
Another concern for the tenants right now is electricity. A number of them have received bills for up to $1,200 for a single month, and Con Ed is unable to check the meters, since they are located in the locked basement. Castro is afraid they'll turn off her power.
"There's dope heads walking around," she said. "I've got young kids–it's not safe to turn the power off on us."
Many tenants receive assistance from city agencies, according to Wanda Salaman, executive director of Mothers on the Move, the local activist group that is helping the tenants to organize. Funds come from the HIV/AIDS Services Administration and from the Department of Homeless Services, both of which have been notified of the situation, says Salaman.
Last year, Mothers on the Move began working with the tenants. They brought in the Urban Justice Center, a not-for-profit organization that provides advocacy, research, and representation for housing concerns as well as other social issues. Sadia Rahman, a lawyer from the Urban Justice Center, has been advising the tenants.
As the city takes control of these buildings, the administrator will have to begin collecting rent to raise funds, before any repairs can be made, said Klein at the hearing. "So it could be three to six months before there are major improvements."
Harry DeRienzo, the president of the housing organization Banana Kelly, which manages 47 buildings in an around Hunts Point, has also been active in helping to organize the tenants, back on the same block he helped save 30 years ago.
DeRienzo hopes to become the administrator for the buildings, a role he has played with other properties in the past. The housing department has recommended him to the judge.
"Your buildings are among the worst in the city," said Judge Klein, speaking to the tenants in court. "And no one said this is fair."
A version of this story appeared in the April 2011 issue of The Hunts Point Express.

The United States Sports Academy's 2012 Ronald Reagan Media Award winner is Bob Costas, who has been the primetime television host of a record nine Olympic games.
Costas, who joined NBC Sports in 1980 and has the longest tenure of any of the network's sports announcers, presided over the most watched TV event ever in the United States with more than 219.4 million American viewers tuning in during the 17-day event. The NBC primetime broadcast of the Olympics averaged 31.1 million viewers.
The Academy's Ronald Reagan Media Award, named in honor of the 40th President of the United States, is presented annually to an individual for outstanding contributions to sport through broadcasting, print, photography or acting. The individual, like this year's award winner, should exhibit imagination, excitement and genius in kindling a keen public interest and appreciation for the role of sport in modern society.
During his nearly 40-year career, Costas has handled a wide array of assignments, including play-by-play, studio hosting and reporting. He now hosts NBC's "Football Night in America" studio show and provides some commentary during NBC's Sunday night game—the highest rated series on American prime-time television with as many as 20 million viewers a week.
He also serves as co-host of NBC's coverage of the U.S. Open, Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. Costas hosts a regular interview show titled MLB Network Studio 42 with Bob Costas as well as special programming, and provides play-by-play for select live Thursday Night Baseball games.
Costas, who won the Academy's Regan Media Award in 1991, has won a record eight National Sportcaster of the Year awards from the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association, and was inducted into that organization's Hall of Fame in 2012. In addition, Costas has won 23 Emmy awards—more than any sports broadcaster.

Urbanus 87 - De Wraak Van Boemlala
The Belgian artist Willy Linthout was born in Eksaarde on 1 May, but his parents declared him a day early to receive an extra month of child support. Linthout started his career as a prize-winner of a non-professional comic contest for the Dutch edition of the French magazine À Suivre. After he met Urbanus (who already had a successful career as a comedian/performer in theaters and on TV) they decided to do an 'Urbanus' comic book.
Urbanus 151 - Het verbeterde testament
When the first album appeared in 1983, it immediately became a huge success. Both the stories and artwork are hilarious in the classical Flemish comic book tradition (like 'Nero', 'Suske en Wiske', 'Kiekeboe'), but more absurd. Since its debut they have produced more than 150 albums, first in black-and-white with Loempia, and then in full-color with Standaard Uitgeverij.
Lambiek in 'De Laatste Hollander', by Willy Linthout
Currently, 'Urbanus' is still one of the most popular comic books in Belgium. In addition to Urbanus, Linthout has been s a scriptwriter for 'Roboboy' by Luc Cromheecke in Taptoe and for 'Het Laatste Station' by Erik Wielaert, while serving as an assistant artist for 'Kiekeboe' and 'De Strip van 7'.
Het jaar van de olifant, by Willy Linthout
Between 2007 and 2008, Willy Linthout made a series of 8 albums based on his personal experiences after his son's suicide, called 'Het Jaar van de Olifant', published by Bries. This critically acclaimed and highly emotional work was followed by more serious work, such as the follow-up 'Wat wij moeten weten' and the melancholic and touching 'Uit het leven getekend', that was published by De Bezige Bij in 2012. In 2009, he received the Bronzen Adhemar, the official Flemish Community Cultural Prize for Comics.
In 2005 Linthout made a graphic contribution to 'Suske en Wiske 60 Jaar!' (2005), which paid homage to Willy Vandersteen's 'Suske en Wiske'. He paid a graphic tribute to Jef Nys in 'Jommekes Bij De Vleet' (2010) and Marc Sleen in 'Marc Sleen 90. Liber Amicorum' (2012).

Chicago alderwoman eyes proposed $25 bicycle fee
CHICAGO – A Chicago alderwoman wants to charge a $25 licensing fee for bicycle owners and require them to take an hour-long safety class.
Pat Dowell's proposal could generate up to $10 million a year if 400,000 cyclists buy the license. Dowell thinks the city should implement it instead of a heightened tax on cable television that's been proposed by the mayor.
The South Side alderwoman says bike riders should pay for increasing number of protected bike lanes on city streets.
Cycling advocates say they're not aware of any other U.S. city that requires similar licenses.
The executive director of the Active Transportation Alliance says enforcement and cumbersome set-up costs outweigh the potential financial benefit.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel has pledged to make Chicago one of the nation's most bike-friendly city.

Avoid Workplace Anger's Corrosive Effects
Cheri Swales | Monster Contributing Writer
Mad that you were passed over for a big promotion again? Livid that the bootlickers always seem to get ahead in your organization? Perhaps it's time to consider whether the anger itself, however legitimate, is holding you back. Evidence suggests many of us are walking around the office feeling resentful, though we may be unaware of the cumulative toll bitter actions take on our careers and coworkers.
Workplace anger is not only potentially harmful to the organization, but it can also cause serious health problems, including chronic anxiety, depression, high blood pressure and heart disease. Learning to deal with your anger constructively will improve your well-being and make you a more desirable and promotable employee.
Why Are So Many Employees Angry?
I spoke with 12 employees from a variety of businesses about their anger at work. Each felt that one or more of the following caused the anger:
- - Employee was promised a raise, promotion or important project, and it did not happen.
- - Employee was told to do something he felt was wrong or incorrect.
- - Employee could not live up to a supervisor's expectations, because the expectations were too high or continuously changing.
- - Supervisor was a micro-manager and criticized employee frequently.
- - Employee felt better qualified and skilled than his supervisor.
- - Another employee doing the same job made more money.
Sometimes the anger may stem from outside sources. Many times, employees are dealing with stressful events in their own lives, and the resulting anger can carry over to the workplace. Divorce, a death in the family, financial pressure and serious illnesses can all cause an individual to become overwhelmed and irritated. Rarely are we taught to deal with loss and stressful situations, so we tend to bury those feelings, which can turn to anger or rage over time.

With the debate over climate change seeming to heat up daily, the 25x'25 Alliance and a team of University of Tennessee economists have announced they will conduct an in-depth analysis of the impacts of global warming on U.S. agriculture and forestry.
The announcement was made by Nathan Rudgers, the chairman of the 25x'25 Alliance Carbon Work Group during a presentation on carbon sequestration at the annual Ag Media Summit in Ft. Worth, Texas. The Alliance will partner with the University of Tennessee's Bio-Based Energy Analysis Group on the project.
Conceding some farmers question the validity of global warming claims, Rudgers said those growers need to consider the consequences of allowing EPA to write the rules for dealing with the issue rather than the Congress.
"The potential for an increase in input costs from the Waxman-Markey bill (the American Clean Energy Security Act of 2009) — that's the big topic now," says Rudgers. "If the EPA is allowed to regulate the climate change issues rather than Congress, costs are going up, and there won't be anything in place to offset these."
"A growing consensus among scientists is that global warming is occurring and can at least be partially attributed to increased emissions of greenhouse gases," said Burton English, a professor of agricultural economics and a member of the University of Tennessee's Bio-Based Energy Analysis Group.
"Reducing greenhouse gas emissions should be a global environmental priority, so we will address how a reduction in GHG emissions can be achieved, and the economic and environmental impact a given climate policy will have on the agriculture and forestry sectors."
25x'25, a national coalition of nearly 90 agricultural, business, environmental, energy and conservation organizations, will manage the study and coordinate the dissemination of its results.
"The primary target audience for this analysis is national agricultural and forest leaders who are attempting to understand and quantify how climate change legislation will impact their sectors," said Rudgers.
"This analysis will also be presented to federal and state policy makers; executive branch agency officials, renewable energy advocates; and national security, environmental and rural development leaders."
The study will build on "Solutions from the Land: The role of Agriculture and Forestry in a Reduced Carbon Economy," a discussion guide and recommendations compiled by the 25x'25 Carbon Work Group, on how the two sectors can deliver substantial emissions reductions, including sequestration, under national climate change policy.
The analysis will be released in three phases, starting with an agriculture component Sept. 15, followed by a livestock component Oct. 15 and a forestry component Nov. 15. BEAG researchers will look at the interplay between the sometimes opposing forces of carbon incentives provided by climate change policy and higher input costs in determining potential supply, price, and geographic impacts of biomass feedstocks.
Estimates of the net impact of the 25 x '25 goals upon biomass's contribution to total emissions, energy use and net carbon flux will be reported as well as the potential impacts of the proposed carbon cap and trade policy.
"We expect this analysis will provide critical information this fall for national policy makers as they debate major climate change legislation," said Rudgers. "The analysis will provide clear and objective data that can guide those who will determine the role of agriculture and forestry in a new climate change regulatory system."

Author Notes: It is that time of year, potato salad season. You will see many, everyones will be the best and in the end you will make your grandmothers. I will too with boiled eggs on top and all but I also like to make a vinegar type potato salad because I like them just as well. The one thing I do hear is I boil the garlic with the potatoes. It permeates the potatoes with its flavor and it is soft so I can mash it with salt and whisk it into the dressing. Sometimes I can't help myself and add a dollop of mayo to the finished dish just for good measure. —thirschfeld
Serves: 4 to 6
cups yukon gold potatoes cut into wedges from golf ball size potatoes
3 to 4
cloves of fresh garlic, peeled and bruised or smashed but not to bits
kosher salt for the cooking water
sea salt for seasoning
tablespoon French whole grain mustard, actually from France
1 1/2
tablespoons red wine vinegar
olive oil as needed
teaspoons chives, minced
teaspoons tarragon, minced
teaspoons savory or thyme, minced
teaspoon Aleppo pepper
- Add the potatoes and the garlic to a large pot. Cover them with cold water by two to three inches. Add a good dose of kosher salt.
- Bring the pot to a boil over medium heat and cook the potatoes until a toothpick inserted into one of the larger wedges easily pierces the potato but not all the way to the middle. You want to use your friend carry over cooking here. It will keep the potatoes from becoming pasty.
- Remove the garlic cloves and place them onto a cutting board. Add a pinch of salt to them and using the wide side of a chefs knife smear them onto the board then use the blade to scoop the paste up.
- Put the paste into a large bowl that will easily hold all the potatoes. Add the mustard and red wine vinegar. Season it with salt and pepper then stir in 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir the dressing.
- While the potatoes are still warm add them to the dressing and stir them to coat. Put them into the fridge to cool. The potatoes will suck all the oil and vinegar up like a sponge so before you serve it taste it.
- Add more oil, vinegar or salt and pepper if needed. Stir in the herbs and serve.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

Um, most MPI implementations have at least 3 algorithms, for short, long, and very long messages. So are they all breaking your rule? It's *unoptimizing* some of the cases that's at question. Most MPIs unoptimize compute/communication overlap with long messages, because it's hard work to get that right without hurting all short messages. -- greg

The price of a gallon of gasoline
Has gotten obnoxiously high.
The gas in the tank and the cash in the bank,
(As shown in reports and projections)
Despite what we do or try to pursue,
Are going in downward directions!
The reasons for such
Are many and much,
And here I will now tell you why.
Feeling nostalgic…
The supply of crude oil over the world
Inevitably is going down.
We are finding more
In places offshore,
But there's only so much in the ground.
And the crude from the well
(If you look, you can tell!)
Is not going to go in your tank
The sticky black goo
Will simply not do;
Your engine is not going to crank.

To make gasoline
(As you may have seen)
The unrefined crude must be changed.
By heating and cooling,
And chemical retooling
Its molecules are rearranged.
The places that do this
(But maybe you knew this.)
Are refineries whose numbers are shrinking.
Their costs are not cheap
In fact, they're quite steep,
This whole process, then, needs some rethinking.
But demand for gasoline
Is growing obscene,
In the world and the U. S. of A.
We can't make enough
Of the valuable stuff
And thus at the pump you now pay.

And the whole situation
'Round the globe and the nation
Is infinitely much more complex.
There are markets and forces
And political courses
That the brainiest brains will perplex.
There's war in Iraq,
Fear of terror attack.
There's OPEC and Saudis and Russians,
Political flak,
And reservoir lack,
And pundits in endless discussions.
There are plots and some coups,
And some radical views,
And "economically motivated misinforming."

Not to mention Detroit,
Where some are adroit,
At downplaying dire global warming.
So many forces are doing their work
In multifarious giving and taking,
The price at the pump
Is not gonna slump,
Despite all this quaking and shaking.
So read 'em and weep,
Or just go to sleep
Or go on your own hunger strike,
But if I were you,
I wouldn't be blue.
I'd just go and get a new bike!

Jett Williams, Hank Williams Daugther, Arrested for Second DUI
Jett Williams, country singer and daughter of the late Hank Williams, Sr., was arrested on May 9 for allegedly driving under the influence in Lebanon, Tenn. This is her second DUI arrest.
Williams, whose real name is Jett Williams Adkinson, was arrested on Friday evening a little before 11PM local time in Wilson County, Tenn. She was arrested and sent to jail for both the DUI and violation of implied consent, according to the Tennessean. This is the second time in three months that she has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. The 61-year-old was released on Saturday on $1,500 bond.
Adkinson was arrested in February when she was allegedly swerving in her 1998 Jaguar. She was arrested Feb. 25 around 2:30AM also in Wilson County. That time, she admitted to having a couple of drinks and failed a field sobriety test before her arrest. She was also cited for for not wearing a seat belt and not having proof of insurance.
Adkinson never actually met her father, the legendary singer. She was born in Alabama just five days after his death on Jan. 1, 1953. Adkinson's mother, Bobbie Jett, did have a relationship with Williams but never actually married him. She is also the half-sister of Hank Williams, Jr. Adkinson was adopted and did not legally discover who her father was until 1985. It was two years later when she discovered she earned half of his estate.
