(I'm fluent and have worked in Paris before for an insurance company, so know the work market a little). However, does anybody know if the language schools (like the rest of Paris!) tend to close down in July/ August? In which case I'll reluctantly postpone my move... Also, does anybody have any knowledge of: ILIC or ICB Europe? I hope someone can help!

Better to shoot for just before "la Rentrée", i.e. end of Aug./beginning of Sept., pound the pavement then and you're bound to turn up some work for mid Sept start-up. (However, you could use August as a good "settling in" time, to find an apt. and such.) Bonne chance!

As a refuge for wildlife, the Tampa Bay island known as Egmont Key is home to gopher tortoises and myriad seabirds. As a refuge for visitors, Egmont Key State Park is a state park rich in history. It can be visited by private boat or public ferry, making Egmont Key a favorite destination for water-borne visitors, including class groups working on school projects. The leeward side of this 400-acre island has a mooring area for private boats. Don't miss Egmont Key's secluded beach where shelling and exploring a 19th-century fort await. Also be sure to check out the lighthouse, circa 1858.

Emily VanCamp makes the leap
Are you down with Emily VanCamp? I thought she was adorable on Everwood, and though I've gone off Revenge (the second season didn't live up to the promise of the first), I like her as the cold-blooded Emily Thorne. But she seems to polarize people like few actresses do—either you think she's a good actress or you don't; there doesn't seem to be a lot of middle ground happening with her. My defense on her behalf for the people who think she's horrible and wooden on Revenge is that she plays such an emotionally stunted, closed-off character there isn't much she can actually do.
But now she's got a chance to show another side as Emily VanCamp has come out of nowhere to land the female lead in Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Marvel saw a lot of actresses for this part, still officially unnamed but assumed to be SHIELD agent Sharon Carter, but never did VanCamp appear on anyone's list of prospects. It's a huge get for an actress that's moved up the ranks steadily on television but hasn't yet gotten a major break in film. It'll be interesting to see if she can make the leap. And she'll certainly get plenty of chances with Marvel—if this really is Sharon Carter, there's potential for her to appear in not only future Captain America films but in The Avengers, too. Although I'm not a huge fan of Sharon Carter—she's descended from Steve Rogers' first love, Peggy, and that is never not going to be creepy—but VanCamp does bear a resemblance to the current iteration of the character in the comics. It's workable, and with Chris Evans' comic chops and directors Joe and Anthony Russo's comedy background, that connection could be mined for some solid humor.
I had hoped this part would go to Anna Kendrick (and that it would be as Janet Van Dyne, not Sharon Carter), but I'll accept Emily VanCamp. As I have no problems with her acting, I think she can do a good job as an ass-kicking secret agent. And I like Marvel's trend for casting strong, athletic types in their female roles. This is a world of capable women who get sh*t done. Emily VanCamp will fit right in.

Amelia Earhart Goes Around the World
By: Addie B.
New Hampshire, Age 10
Yesterday afternoon, Amelia Earhart, the first woman pilot to navigate a plane over the Atlantic Ocean, began an attempt of flying around the world. Her journey began in Miami Florida. The navigators lost her location. Here are her last words: we are on line of position 156-157 dont hold with us much longer above water shut off ship on reef south of equator. If she were to make it around the world she would have gone about 24,500 miles. We dont know how far she went because we dont know were she went missing. Maybe someday we will find her. The navigators think she died on a little tiny island in the middle of nowhere. Until someone finds her we will never know. It will be a mystery of America! When this was happening Texas New London had a gas explosion. 294 died! Hinden explodes in flames and 36 people died. The Yankees release Tony. Last of all San Jacinto suffers -50 F.

BAGHDAD, Jan. 3 (UPI) -- A suicide bomber killed at least 27 Shiite pilgrims Thursday at a bus station in Iraq.
The blast targeted pilgrims returning from Karbala, CNN reported. The bomb exploded in Musayyib, a city south of Baghdad.
The Financial Times put the death toll at 27. The newspaper said the bombing followed days of increased tensions between Sunni and Shiite Muslims, including large demonstrations by Sunnis against the Shiite-dominated government.
A few hours before the bomb went off, officials announced they would meet one demand by freeing 11 women from prison and transferring others to facilities in their home provinces. But the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has also threatened to use force against protesters.

|Buying a coffee table is no big issue but while purchasing any coffee table you must keep in mind that you are not buying this one for the mere purpose of keeping magazines or television remote on its top.

This table also has attached nesting table design. However Curvet's design is also popular as it offers numerous options to choose from.

Having said that, I am really enjoying Kahin Na Kahin Dil Lagaana Padega and the subject of this post, Yeh Chaand Sa Raushan Chehra. The latter is an excellent, excellent song. Everything about it is excellent. The lyrics (Shamsul Huda Behari), the music (O. P. Nayyar), the vocals (Mohammad Rafi), the setting, the placement, the characters, the actors, heck, even the supporting actors! :)
They ought to have an accolade at beauty pageants or award ceremonies called the 'Chaand Sa Raushan Chehra Award'. And this year's award goes to Sharmila Tagore. 44 years after the film's release, it would still be well deserved, if only for her role in the film.
Of course, the song also featured Shammi Kapoor at his best.
Given my love of the song, I couldn't resist playing around with the words a bit. Below are the results. See the song at this link. It was also listed among my favorite Songs with Chaand, the Eternal Performer.
Translating the last paragraph was an interesting experience, for it offered an intriguing lesson in translating sense for sense versus word for word. Word for word, it might even be translated as follows:
I admit that your powers shall drive me insane,
Let me see to my heart's content, your wild ways.
So, could we conclude that this might well be one of the most subtle and beautiful hip-hop songs in the guise of an elaborate 'nazm' (poem)? How's this for meaningful hip-hop? And who better than Shammi Kapoor to bear that torch? ;)
Of course, the thought above is shared merely in jest. The reality is that this is among the most expressive and enjoyable songs, and one that earns those who assembled it tremendous respect. That one finds it enjoyable decades later is evidence of it having withstood the test of time. I'll go back to enjoying the soundtrack some more. Until later.

No new cases of EEE-carrying mosquitoes have been reported in Massachusetts since four mosquitoes infected witht he virus were found in traps in Bridgewater last week.
BRIDGEWATER – It has been nearly two weeks since four mosquitoes trapped in Bridgewater tested positive for EEE, and experts have reported no new cases since then.
"The good news was there weren't any positives this week, so hopefully it was a one-time thing that isn't going to amplify," said Anthony Texeira, the superintendent of the Plymouth County Mosquito Control Project.
EEE, or eastern equine encephalitis, is a rare, but often fatal virus spread to humans by mosquitoes. The four mosquitoes that were trapped in the Hockomock Swamp in Bridgewater marked the first cases of the virus to appear this summer.
In the wake of the discovery, the state's Department of Public Health raised the EEE alert level for Bridgewater from "low" to "moderate." Neighboring towns, Easton, Middleboro, Raynham and West Bridgewater already were on moderate alert based on last year's EEE activity.
The Plymouth County Mosquito Control Project conducted spraying in Bridgewater and portions of West Bridgewater following the positive tests and will continue to spray in the future, Texeira said.
Particular attention will be paid to the Hockomock Swamp and surrounding areas.
"We're more concerned about that area, and we want to make sure that we do anything we can to prevent an abundance of mosquitoes amplifying the virus."
When asked about the mosquito population as a whole this summer, Texeira said the numbers have been "pretty average," but that they could "change on a dime," noting that recent rainfall could bring more mosquitoes.
Even when mosquito populations are small, however, residents should still take precautions to protect themselves.
"It doesn't take a lot of mosquitoes to harm you," Texeira said. "All it takes is one bite from the wrong mosquito."

CHARLESTON, S.C. - A Coast Guard petty officer accused of rape, sexual assault and other charges will face a court-martial expected to begin in September in South Carolina, military officials said Tuesday.
The commander of the Coast Guard district headquartered in Portsmouth, Va., said in a news release that a hearing found grounds to put Petty Officer 2nd Class Omar Gomez on trial in Charleston.
The charges allege that Gomez, 35, engaged in a range of sexual misconduct from rape to inappropriate comments involving two civilians and six Coast Guard women.
The investigation began after a reported sexual assault last September aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Gallatin, which is based in Charleston. Officials say that led to other cases ranging from the Seattle area to Honduras and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Gomez has been assigned to another unit in South Carolina.
A charge related to an alleged 2006 rape will not be pursued because the victim decided not to participate in legal proceedings, the Coast Guard said.
"We are committed to ensuring the victims of sexual assault receive all the support and treatment they need, that their privacy is protected, and that military justice is conducted in a timely, objective and fair process," Vice Adm. Robert Parker said. "We remain steadfast in our efforts to change attitudes, behavior and cultures that have allowed the crime of sexual assault to damage the lives of our shipmates."
The Pentagon released a report in May estimating that as many as 26,000 military members may have been sexually assaulted last year and that thousands of victims are unwilling to come forward despite new oversight and assistance programs. That figure is an increase over the 19,000 estimated assaults in 2011.
Speaking at the Naval Academy last May, President Barack Obama said sexual assault threatens the "trust and discipline" that makes the U.S. military strong and respected.

NEW YORK, April 19 (UPI) -- Eric Chavez highlighted a four-run 12th inning with a three-run double Thursday, lifting Arizona to a 6-2 win over the New York Yankees.
New York forced extra innings in the ninth thanks to a solo homer from Francisco Cervelli off J.J. Putz and the Yankees then wasted a scoring chance in the 11th.
David Phelps (0-1) took the mound for the Yankees in the 12th and gave up a leadoff double to Gerardo Para.
Para took third on a fly out and Paul Goldschmidt reached first on the rarely called catcher's interference.
Phelps hit Miguel Montero with a pitch to load the bases and Cody Ross singled to drive in the go-ahead run. With the bases still loaded, Chavez delivered a double to center that brought home all three runners.
Tony Sipp came on in the bottom of the inning and retired the side in order in a non-save situation.
Heath Bell (1-0) earned the win by working the 11th, during which New York put two runners on without scoring.
New York had a three-game winning streak snapped.

The Walking Dead has occasionally wavered in quality during its past seasons, with the plot sometimes dragging along far too slowly, but so far the fourth season is off to a gripping start. Without giving away major spoilers for those who aren't caught up yet, the last three episodes alone have featured plenty of zombie action, some brutal human-on-human violence, a worryingly high death count and the introduction of a brand new threat that's dangerous enough to wipe out every single survivor in the prison.
Numbers are just as important as reviews, however, and in this area The Walking Dead continues to be a flagship show for AMC. The show broke all its previous records when an updated total of 20.2 million viewers tuned in for the season 4 premiere earlier this month. It didn't take long for these ratings to impact upon AMC's future plans for the show.
To the surprise of absolutely no one, AMC announced today that The Walking Dead has been renewed for a fifth season, with Scott Gimple returning as showrunner and comic book author Robert Kirkman maintaining his executive producer role, along with Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert, Greg Nicotero and Tom Luse. AMC president Charlie Collier made with announcement with the following statement:
"We are very happy to make what has to be one of the most anti-climactic renewal announcements ever: The Walking Dead is renewed for a fifth season. This is a show that has erased traditional distinctions between cable and broadcast. Its expanding base of passionate fans has grown every season, most recently – and most notably – with the season four premiere earlier this month, which broke viewership records for the series and became the biggest non-sports telecast in cable history. On behalf of the incredible team on both sides of the camera, thank you to the fans and here's to more Dead."
Like the zombies that lend their name to it, The Walking Dead is going to be a tough show to ever kill off, and earlier this year AMC Networks CEO Josh Kaplan said that he expects the show will still be around in 2022. Striking all the right chords of drama, horror and gore, The Walking Dead may well continue in the spirit of the comic book series, which has already been running for over a decade.
Last month AMC also announced that a companion series to The Walking Dead is currently in development and is set to air in 2015. The spin-off would feature entirely new characters and be separate from the comic book fans, so even those familiar with the source material would have a hard time guessing what might happen next.
Today has been a big day for announcements related to The Walking Dead; over in gaming news, Telltale Games today revealed the first trailer for the second season of The Walking Dead video game, with fan-favorite character Clementine returning to the dangerous world of post-zombie outbreak America. Meanwhile, issue #116 of Kirkman's comic book series is set for release on November 13th.
The Walking Dead continues next Sunday with 'Indifference' @9pm on AMC.

There's a new toy in town.
With such positive feedback about the Corey in Madison's action figure idea, I couldn't resist the opportunity to develop a 2D prototype of Aaron "The Camping Man" action figure!
As a genuine work-in-progress (that I'm pretty proud of), I would describe the Camping Man as rugged, resourceful and friendly – kind of a GI Joe meets Lambeau. "From the backyard to the North woods, it's the perfect camping complement for any young Packer fan or any Packer fan simply young at heart," one could say.
You'll notice he is donned in green and gold attire, and I would assume that any outfit The Camping Man wears would reflect the Packers colors. Underneath that outfit and painted on his plastic body is a manly, black, Under Armor one-piece that showcases both toughness and pride (maybe there will be a limited-edition Green Bay Packers American Gladiators-style suit someday). Possible accessories include the fire, plate 'o burgers, wieners on a stick, fishing hat and machete for blazing trails through tall grass an' such.
As far as size goes, I'm thinking the Camping Man would be 12 inches tall. That's not too small as to get overlooked and not too big that it would fall into doll status. And since this is a camping-specific action figure, either he simply glows in the dark or if you say, "Guide me Camping Man!", his eyes become two miniature flashlights. Yes!
I honestly believe AK would be proud of this one.

Trailing late in the third quarter of a game they needed to win, the Liberty picked up their defensive intensity and ran away from the Washington Mystics.
Cappie Pondexter scored 22 points to lead the Liberty to a 75-62 victory over the last-place Mystics Wednesday night in Newark. Nicole Powell had 15 points and Kia Vaughn added 10 points and 10 rebounds to help the Liberty (13-17) finish 4-2 on a six-game homestand — including two wins against Washington.
The Liberty also moved a half-game ahead of Chicago for the fourth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
"It was an ugly win, but I'm glad we pulled it out in the fourth quarter," Pondexter said. "We focused a little more, we began to help each other. I thought we rebounded well, forced them to make tough jump shots."
Pondexter praised Vaughn's play in the final quarter, when the center and Plenette Pierson had eight points apiece to help the Libs outscore Washington 19-7 in the period. Vaughn had her first double-double of the season.
"I thought she played great down the stretch, she was confident," Pondexter said. "The last two games we actually were talking about that baseline jumper, where she's great at. She focused in on doing it … especially in the fourth quarter. I'm happy she was finally able to display the kind of basketball she's been trying."
Monique Currie scored a season-high 24 points for Washington (5-25), which has lost nine straight. The Mystics dropped to 1-15 on the road this season, with their lone win against the Liberty on July 13 in the last game before the league's month-long Olympic break.
"We played well throughout the game except for the fourth quarter," Currie said. "We got cold and the Liberty were able to take advantage of that."
The Liberty grabbed the lead with an 11-2 run that started at the end of the third and carried over into the fourth. Pondexter made a 3-pointer with about 28 seconds left in the third to put the Liberty in front 56-55, and Vaughn opened the fourth with back-to-back jumpers to extend the lead to five with 7:23 remaining.
Pondexter's 3 gave the Liberty a 67-58 advantage with 4:43 to go, and Washington got no closer than seven the rest of the way. The Liberty scored the final six points of the game.
"We were struggling throughout the game," Liberty coach John Whisenant said. "Washington has been a difficult team for us. … The thing that I was most pleased with was the fourth quarter, we showed that determination."
The Liberty are at Washington on Sunday, followed by stops in San Antonio and Tulsa before finishing the season at home against the Shock on Sept. 22. Chicago has five games remaining, including three on the road and three against playoff-bound teams Los Angeles, Seattle and Atlanta.
"Chicago's playing really well right now," Pondexter said. "The West Coast teams, everybody's clinched a playoff spot, so there's a big chance they could be resting their players. Chicago could actually have it easy going on their road trip."

The Survey: Written Lectures?
3 comments:
- Vicky Saker Woeste said...
Anders, this sounds so ambitious--and quite a lot of work, although you are prepping the lectures anyway. But posting them on TWEN has the effect of releasing your intellectual product to everyone, whether or not they come to class. I've been wondering whether I was doing the right thing in posting my powerpoint files this semester, which are a mix of text, photos, and weblinks.

I agree that this is especially an issue w/ lectures. But in non-lecture classes, I think it's helpful to put powerpoint on Blackboard (or whatever you use). I use powerpoint in my constitutional law classes, and reminding the class that the powerpoint will be on Blackboard helps avoid the problem of students spending class trying to copy down all the slides, rather than thinking about them.
- March 22, 2011 at 1:48:00 PM EDT
To solve the problem of students simply reading the lectures, I require attendance, grading down for excessive absences. As for intellectual product, the more students absorb the better (would be interesting to learn if they actually process more by reading the lectures than listening). Potential payoff is a body of writing that I can then return to in upcoming semesters, possibly shaping into a book.

State Rep. Deb Gardner, D-Longmont, isn't running for re-election in 2012, but said it's not because she feared losing her newly drawn and more competitive District 11 House seat to a Republican.
"It was quite the opposite," Gardner said. "I was very happy with the way the lines were drawn."
Gardner, who was elected in 2010 to her first term in the seat, said she is running for Boulder County Commissioner and plans to serve out the remainder of her legislative term in the 2012 session.
"I like what I do as a legislator, but I really felt like it was a bigger opportunity for me to use the skills and knowledge I have to move our community forward," she said.

PROSPECT: A Handmade Sci-Fi Short
PROSPECT is Happening!
We can't thank you all enough. The amount of support we've received has blown us away and we can't wait to make this film!
Our first reach goal was for 20k, which has been met! This will allow our artisans to spend a significantly greater amount of time and resources on the bandit suit and helmet.
Our second reach is for 23k. This will allow is bulk up on post-production, meaning more time in the studio for foley and sound design as well as hiring a top notch colorist - all of which will work toward making this film tangibly better.
You guys are the best! After the campaign, keep an eye on https://www.facebook.com/shepfilms for updates on PROSPECT.
- Zeek & Chris
What is PROSPECT?
PROSPECT is an unusual coming-of-age story following a teenage girl and her father on a foreign planet as they hunt for resin, the valuable byproduct of rare insects. Inspired in part by the California Gold Rush, the film features a planet of desperate individuals seeking their fortunes, governed only by natural law. When the father is attacked by a roving bandit, the daughter must take vengeance.
Our goal is to capture a piece of what makes 2001, Blade Runner, and the original Star Wars so awesome: texture. PROSPECT will be real and tactile, building a robust world with custom props and costumes, rather than digital effects.
Western films, particularly Sergio Leone's Spaghetti Westerns, have also been a strong influence in developing the film's narrative structure and pacing. Ultimately, we see this film as the blending of genres in a way we haven't quite seen done before.
Who Are You?
Zeek Earl Director, DP
Chris Caldwell Director, Writer
Brice Budke Producer
PROSPECT will be produced by SHEP Films, a production company founded by Zeek and Chris. We are fully crewed and fully equipped to shoot this film, so every dollar donated goes directly into production value.
Our last short film, "In The Pines" was made for a total budget of $3k and was entirely funded out-of-pocket. It premiered at SXSW and went on to play Palm Springs International Shortfest, The Atlantic Film Festival, Hollyshorts, and more.
Why Should I Give You My Money?
With "In The Pines" we proved we could produce a compelling and striking film for little money. And we learned a lot from that experience. Now we want to step up our game, but we need your help.
We've already invested in the equipment and will be receiving no pay for this shoot. The number we're asking for is what we need to get everything else done: from craft services to the custom design and fabrication of filtration helmets. From start to finish, from production to post, you will be making this film happen. And it will be incredible.
Also, we have some great rewards. In addition to posters, DVDs and Blurays, you can own some of the coolest parts of the film: space suits, guns, tools, helmets - it's all up for grabs. In addition, if you're interested in some of the unusual technical aspects of the film (see below), we're offering consultation.
I'm Sold. Tell Me More!
We will be shooting entirely in Washington's Hoh Rainforest. There is no place quite like it and it is one of the most alien landscapes on earth. All location fees will be going to the Hoh River Trust, an organization dedicated to the preservation of the river and surrounding rainforest.
We are excited to shoot RAW on the new Black Magic Cinema Camera (the test footage was shot on a Canon 5D). Capturing the rainforest with the BMCC's 13 stops of dynamic range will be amazing.
Over the past two years we've collected a full range of Nikon prime lenses which produce a uniquely warm and soft image texture.
We will be shooting anamorphically. Not cropped, but with an actual anamorphic adapter and diopters just like 2001 and Blade Runner back in the day.
Macro-videography was a huge part of our last short film and will be important for this one as well.
Custom Props & Costumes
We have already begun the design and fabrication process with several skilled artisans. Custom-made props and costume will give PROSPECT a distinctive texture.
Feature Development
We are simultaneously developing a feature-length version of PROSPECT. This short is the first step in making that feature a reality.

Risks and challenges
Filmmaking always comes with many risks and challenges particular to each project. For this one it includes things like shooting in a rain forest... in the rain, coordinating numerous different artisans to create original artifacts on a tight schedule, and getting a whole bunch of different people's schedule's lined up to shoot on a particular week. But this is what we do and in fact we've never been so ready. Our experience in both narrative and commercial filmmaking has prepared us. We have also done extensive test-shooting for PROSPECT specifically on location and will do more, so that when the time comes we will be perfectly comfortable. And of course, there will be unforeseen obstacles, but that's par for the course and we're ready to take it all on.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Developers: Expect New Major Language Within Five Years
A group of software developers said we should expect to see more dynamic languages and possibly a new major language in the next five years.
A group of software gurus gathered at TheServerSide Java Symposium here to discuss the future of programming, saying we should expect to see more dynamic languages and possibly a new major language in the next five years.
During a panel discussion titled "2010: A Developer's Odyssey" at the symposium, Eugene Ciurana, an enterprise architect at Walmart.com, said in the next few years he expects to see "more scripting languages added to the JVM - Java Virtual Machine - , especially with Java 6 , and to make it easier and make development a lot faster."
Hani Suleiman, chief technology officer at Formicary, said he does not necessarily agree with Ciurana about the scripting languages, "but there will be more componentization in terms of the JVM."
There will be "more in the way of language experimentation going on," according to Ted Neward, founder of Neward & Associates. "We'll see new ways to do things better."
Panelist Gil Tene agreed that there will be new experimentation in languages.
"I think we're five years from the next big language - to be where Java is today," said Tene, CTO of Azul Systems, which makes a hardware solution for accelerating Java systems.
Suleiman said he thinks domain-specific languages are a great idea, "but in practice, where is it?"
Added Adrian Colyer, CTO at Interface21, "In languages I hope we get to something that has a message-based paradigm."
At that point, Cameron Purdy, president of Tangosol, which has been acquired by Oracle, asked whether XML would be dead in the next 10 years.
"It's underlying so many things at this point, it can't simply go away," Suleiman said.
Meanwhile, Ciurana said he expects to see more convergence of Java with other technologies. "We'll see more cooperation with other environments," he said.
However, "things are going to continue to get more complex," said Colyer. "More APIs, more frameworks, more stuff. And we'll have to figure how to deal with that."
One way to help deal with that would be to bring in a new crop of developers.
Asked what he looks for in developer hires, Ciurana said, "When I hire someone and all they have in their resume is Java, I don't hire that - person - . I think they should have a broader skill set. I look for people who have a broader background and are always trying to learn new things."

SEOUL, South Korea — Kim Jong Il made his mysterious youngest son a four-star general in a promotion seen Tuesday as the first step toward his ascent as the next leader of North Korea — extending the family dynasty in the reclusive totalitarian country to a third generation.
Later, state media said Kim Jong Un had been named a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Workers' Party.
The 68-year-old Kim, who apparently is in deteriorating health, had been expected to bestow a party title on his son, who is in his 20s, though it wasn't immediately clear if the military commission post was it.
The North Korean capital of Pyongyang was decorated with banners and placards celebrating the country's biggest political gathering in 30 years. It was at a similar meeting in 1980 where state media revealed that Kim Jong Il was in line to succeed his father, Kim Il Sung, the country's founder who died in 1994.
Castaway's parents thought they would never see him again
The father of Pacific castaway Jose Salvador Alvarenga said he was told his long-lost son vanished on a fishing trip but he didn't have the heart to break the news to his ailing wife.

The news of the son's promotion to general was the North Korean media's first mention of Kim Jong Un, who has remained so well-hidden from the outside world that not even his exact age can be confirmed. He is believed to be 27, and is said to have been schooled in Switzerland and educated at Kim Il Sung Military University in Pyongyang.
Analysts saw it as confirmation he is slated to become North Korea's next leader.Story: Heir apparent? N. Korea leader promotes son
"As expected, the dynastic transition is becoming public. So far, they are following the pattern we saw in the 1970s when Kim Jong Il himself was moving to become the new Dear Leader," said Andrei Lankov of Kookmin University.
"The difference is that this time they seem to be in a great hurry."
The party meeting takes place as the North tries to work around U.N. sanctions — adopted in 2006 and 2009 in response to Pyongyang's two nuclear tests — and justify its pledge to become a "powerful and prosperous" nation by 2012.
Two visits to ally China by Kim Jong Il — who rarely travels abroad — were in part seen as bids for economic support.
The meeting also comes amid a flurry of diplomatic activity in the region after Pyongyang expressed readiness to return to nuclear disarmament talks, which have been in limbo since 2008 when the mercurial North walked out and said they were finished. China has hosted the on-again-off-again talks since they began in 2003.

Regional powers are watching the party conference, the biggest meeting of its kind for 30 years, for any sign of change in the destitute state's policies.
'Crucial developments'
In a brief announcement Tuesday, state TV announced that "crucial developments" were taking place at the convention to elect top party leadership, and that Kim Jong Il was re-elected to the party's top position of general secretary.
"His re-election is an expression of absolute support and trust of all the party members, the servicepersons and the people in Kim Jong Il," the official Korean Central News Agency said.
The meeting was convened "at a historic time," it said, providing no further details about the convention.
There was no mention of his son and no indication whether he would make an appearance at the conference, but observers predicted the son would win key party posts as part of the succession process.
"Kim Jong Un's promotion is the starting point for his formal succession to power," said Kim Yong-hyun, a North Korea expert at Seoul's Dongguk University.
Financial markets see the preferred outcome of the meeting as a continuation of the current system and relative stability, even though the economy is in near ruin and the internationally ostracized government is trying to build a nuclear arsenal.
The biggest fear is that the country could collapse, triggering a flood of refugees or even fighting on the divided peninsula. That could hit hard the economies of neighboring South Korea, China and Japan which together account for about 20 percent of global economic output.
"Succession of power may lead to factional fighting and incur tremendous economic cost that will make the Korean peninsula a powder keg," said Shotaro Yachi, a special envoy for the Japanese government and former vice minister for foreign affairs.
Experts also warn of potential infighting over the rise of the unproven young Kim.
Family affair
State news agency KCNA said Kim had issued a directive bestowing military rank on six people, including promoting Jong Un and the leader's sister Kyong Hui to general in one of the world's largest armies.
The son is believed to have been born in 1983 or 1984 but little is known about him, even by intensely secretive North Korean standards, beyond the sketchy information that he went to school in Switzerland and is said to be his father's favorite.
With Kim Jong Un still in his 20s and inexperienced, the 64-year-old sister could be tapped to oversee a transfer of power if the leader dies before the son is ready to take over, experts said.

"There is a possibility that she could play the role of a coordinator to make sure the power succession goes smoothly," said Cheong Seong-chang, a senior fellow at the Sejong Institute think tank near Seoul.
She and her husband, Jang Song Thaek, who is vice chairman of the all-powerful National Defense Commission, are likely to act as guardians for the young Kim during his rise to power, analysts said.
The last such meeting 30 years ago put Kim, then aged 38, on the path to succeed his father Kim Il Sung, the state founder and now its eternal president, by taking on a Workers' Party title.
"It's striking that the big announcement coming out of a party conference is not a party position but a military position," said Marcus Noland, a North Korea expert at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington.
"This attests to the centrality of the military in governing North Korea today," he said.
By signaling the young Kim's rise, some experts said North Korea is readying for a collective father-and-son leadership.
If Kim Jong Il died suddenly, his son, by then identified as figurehead leader, would be surrounded by close family confidants who have been appointed to senior positions in the Workers' Party and military in recent months.
The young Kim's uncle, Jang Song Thaek, was named to a powerful military post earlier this year, and analysts said he is most likely to act as principal regent until his charge has his own power base.
The question of who will take over from the authoritarian leader is important to regional security because of North Korea's active nuclear and missile programs and concerns of chaos in the case of upheaval in the impoverished country.
The two Koreas remain at war and divided by a heavily fortified border because their three-year conflict ended in a truce, not a peace treaty, in 1953.

Dodgers, Rays push their way to front of pack
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays might be as different as any teams can be.
The Dodgers have a deep history that includes integrating baseball and taking the game West of the Mississippi. They have owners with deep pockets and major revenue-producing streams. The Rays are a product of baseball's most recent expansion, in 1998, playing in a gloomy dome with the smallest fan base in the American League and owners who have to be careful in how they spend money.
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Tampa Bay Rays might be as different as any teams can be.
The Dodgers have a deep history that includes integrating baseball and taking the game West of the Mississippi. They have owners with deep pockets and major revenue-producing streams. The Rays are a product of baseball's most recent expansion, in 1998, playing in a gloomy dome with the smallest fan base in the American League and owners who have to be careful in how they spend money.
But the two teams do have one thing in common.
They know how to win.
And lately they have been winning with more regularity than any other teams.
They both went into Saturday in first place in their division, holding half-game leads.
What a difference a couple of weeks can make.
Back on June 21, the Dodgers were in last place in the National League West, 9 1/2 games back of division-leading Arizona. Since then, the Dodgers have gone 24-6, and jumped over everybody else in the division. They are leading the NL with 156 runs scored, a .288 batting avenge, .345 on-base percentage, and .446 slugging percentage. The team ERA ranks fourth at 3.04, the bullpen is 8-0 with 11 saves in 12 opportunities, and the marquee names in the rotation, Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke, are both 5-1 during this stretch.
Hanley Ramirez (.390, nine home runs, 25 RBIs) and Adrian Gonzalez (.303, seven home runs, 19 RBIs) have driven the offense in which six players have 15 or more RBIs in the 30 games. A.J. Ellis has driven in 18, and Mark Ellis, Andre Ethier and Juan Uribe have 15 apiece.
Tampa Bay, meanwhile, was sitting in fourth place in the American League East back on June 28, seven games out of first. The Rays, however won 20 of their next 23 games, and moved into first place with Friday's win at the Yankees, the third stop of a road trip that has seen them sweep three games in Toronto, take two out of three from Boston, and includes a return to Boston on Monday for a makeup game. Boston had been in first place for 98 days before the Rays made their statement on Friday.
While Roberto Hernandez is 1-2 with a 4.70 ERA in the surge, the four other starting pitchers -- Jeremy Hellickson, Matt Moore, David Price and Chris Archer -- are a combined 15-1 with a 1.68 ERA, and the bullpen is 10-for-11 in saves, including 9-for-9 by closer Fernando Rodney. Wil Myers, the prime prospect the Rays landed in their offseason deal that sent James Shields to Kansas City, has been a catalyst, hitting .346 and leading the team with 13 RBIs while appearing in 20 games. And all of this has happened with Evan Longoria hitting only .187, but he does have four home runs and 11 RBIs.
Scoring drought
The Phillies not only went into Saturday with a six-game losing streak, but they had a lead for only two innings in those six losses. They had gone 47 innings without a lead until Michael Young singled home John Mayberry Jr., in the third inning against Detroit on Friday. That stood up until Alex Avila delivered the two-run double in the fifth that gave the Tigers a 2-1 win.
Just another bad day in what has been a day season for the Phillies and Cole Hamels. Hamels suffered the loss and is 4-13. He hasn't been his dominate self, but he has been more competitive than the record shows. Hamels has allowed two or fewer runs in 12 starts. He is 4-5 in those starts and the Phillies are 5-7.
No other pitcher has lost more than three games while allowing one or two runs, according to Stats Inc., and among the 10 pitchers with three losses in games in which they allowed two or fewer runs the only ones with a losing record are Dan Haren (2-3) of Washington and Kevin Slowey of Miami (1-3). Haren is one of three Nationals pitchers with three such losses. Stephen Strasburg is 4-3 and Jordan Zimmerman is 10-3 in those games. Travis Wood of the Cubs is 6-3 and Dave Samadzija is 5-3. Tommy Milone of Oakland and A.J. Burnett of Pittsburgh are both 4-3, and Lucas Harrell of Houston and Shields of Kansas City are both 3-3.
Did you know?
-- Pittsburgh equaled a franchise record by winning 60 of its first 100 games. The Pirates also did it in 1991. With a loss at Miami on Friday the Pirates are 60-41, meaning they need to win 22 of their final 62 games, a .361 winning percentage, to enjoy a winning season for the first time in 21 years.
-- Colorado's eight runs in losing three of four to Miami earlier in the week was the fewest runs ever scored by the Rockies in a four-game series in Denver. They split a four-game series with Montreal at Coors Field from May 15-18, 2003, while scoring 13 runs, and scored 13 while losing three of four to the Dodgers at Mile High Stadium from May 16-19, 1994.
--With Corey Hart (surgery on left and right knees) and Mat Gamel (torn ACL) both out for the entire season, the Brewers have used five players to start games at first base, and none of them had ever started a big league game at first before.
Rookie Sean Halton, who has made 11 starts, did appear at first base in 406 Minor League games. Catcher Blake Lalli, who has started five games at first base, played three innings in two games at first with the Cubs last year, and did play at first in 350 Minor League games. Alex Gonzalez, who has started 27 games at first, never appeared on the right side of the infield in 18 professional seasons before this year. Yuniesky Betancourt, who has started 69 games, appeared in two games in the outfield and the rest at shortstop or third base in his eight year big league career. And Juan Francisco, who made his 35th start on Friday night, played three games at first base with Triple-A Louisville in 2010.
-- Baltimore manager Buck Showalter this week joined Gene Mauch, Joe Torre and Dick Williams as the only managers with 250 wins with four different teams. Showalter won 313 with the Yankees, 250 with the D-backs and 319 in Texas, and went into Saturday with 254 wins in Baltimore.
Torre is the only won to reach 250 wins with five teams having managed 1,173 wins with the Yankees, 351 with the Cardinals, 286 with the Mets, 259 with the Dodgers and 257 with the Braves. Mauch won 646 with the Phillies, 499 with the Expos. 378 with the Twins and 379 with the Angels. Williams won 380 with the Expos, 337 with the Padres, 288 with the A's, and 260 with Boston. He also had 159 wins in Seattle and 147 with the Angels.
Out of left field
Starting pitcher Jarred Cosart and catcher Jason Castro of the Astros, on Tuesday, formed only the second battery in Major League history in which the players' last names were anagrams of each other according to wordplay maven Diane Firstman. The only other anagrammatized battery occurred when Matt Nokes caught pitcher Randy Nosek for the Tigers in 1989.

Of course they do. RM wants to have it both ways by claiming non-white blood in Northern Europeans makes them "impure" but black blood in Italians should be ignored.
In fact, Italians have more black blood than Northern Europeans. RM quotes a study by M.B. Richards et al. about "a tiny minority of sequences (approx. =1%) from...sub-Saharan African (L1, L2, L3a and L3b)...clusters appear to have contributed to the European mitochondrial pool within the last few thousand years." What RM fails to mention is, that same studied showed a higher proportion of sub-Saharan lineages in Italy than elsewhere in Europe. RM goes even further and claims "genetic studies demonstrate conclusively that Italians, north and south, have no more black ancestry than any other Western European population." This can be nothing but willful deception on RM's part. Richards reports that:
Two sequences, from Sardinia and Portugal, are members of RFLP haplogroup L2 (confirmed by testing for the HpaI site at position 3592 characterizing L1 and L2 in Africans: Chen et al. 1995). One, from Iberia, is a one-step derivative f the most frequent and widespread member of L3b. An individual from North Germany, one from Britain and one from Sardinia are members of L1, and the 6209±16223±16311 sequence is a member of an African subcluster of L3a, and ndeed is found in a Portuguese subject with Angolan ancestry.
[M. B. Richards et al., Ann. Hum. Genet., 1998]
So, we have two sub-Saharan sequences from Sardinia, one from Germany, and one from Britain. The sample size in Britain is at least 100, vs 49 in Italy. Thus, according to this study, Italians have at least 4 times the Negroid ancestry the British do.
Additionally, as much as RM likes to talk about "Mongoloid" ancestry in Northern Europeans, the only individuals in this study with mtDNA sequences from Asian haplogroup M were "two individuals in the Mediterranean-West and Mediterranean-Central regions". This, even though the study showed "a sampling bias towards the more northerly and westerly extremes of Europe" -- that is, proportionately more samples were collected in NW Europe compared to Southern Europe.
Other research, illustrated for example by table 3 in mtDNA and the Islands of the North Atlantic: Estimating the Proportions of Norse and Gaelic Ancestry, confirms that non-white maternal ancestry is higher in Southern Europe than in Northern Europe. Here is a list of populations, followed by their percentage of "other" mtDNA in parenthesis. "Other" includes both sub-Saharan L lineages and Asian M lineages.
| Frequency of M and L mtDNA
Like the Richards study, this data shows that Italians probably have four or more times the amount of non-white maternal ancestry as the English, and they probably have more than 20 times the amount of non-white mtDNA the Irish or Scottish have.
On the paternal side, one Y-chromosome from sub-Saharan haplogroup 8 was detected out of a sample of 10 Sardinians, suggesting a possible substantial Negroid paternal contribution in some areas of Italy. The same study found zero Negroid Y-chromsomes in the British Isles, out of the combined total of more than 600 sampled.
Some people have objected that gene flow between Sardinians and other Italians may be lmiited. This is irrelevant for my purposes. The Sardinians are Italians. If the Sardinians have black ancestry, then one can't claim "Italians don't have black ancestry". In any event, there is ample evidence for black genes elsewhere in Italy.
Do Sicilians have black ancestry?
It should go without saying that, yes, the Sicilians have black ancestry. Again, RM wants us to believe, based on the retraction of one flawed mtDNA study, that Sicilians are "pure" while Northern Europeans are "not pure". Even if there is no trace of sub-Saharan mtDNA in Sicily, that doesn't mean Sicilians have no Negroid ancestry. It seems likely that North African males were one of the main vectors of Negroid gene flow into Sicily. Negroid ancestry in North Africa is largely on the maternal side. So, even if they have a significant sub-Saharan autosomal complement, Sicilians might be left with no sub-Saharan mtDNA markers and few or no sub-Saharan Y-chromosome markers.
In any event, the idea that Sicilians are free of black genes is ridiculous and patently false, as demonostrated by studies like those mentioned on my page about sickle cell. A recent study on mtDNA also confirms the presence of Negroid ancestry on Sicily:
Two haplogroups not common in Europe are present: haplogroup M, separated from Eastern Africa to Western Asia and Eurasia about 50,000 years ago (Quintana-Murci et al. 1999) has been found in Sciacca (8%), Castellammare (3%) and Ragusa (2%); and haplogroup L1/L2 originating from Africa (Watson et al. 1997) has been found in Sciacca (2%) and Castellammare (less than 1%).
[Source: Romano et al. Autosomal Microsatellite and mtDNA Genetic Analysis in Sicily (Italy). Annals of Human Genetics. Volume 67 Issue 1 Page 42 - January 2003.]
Non-European admixture in general
Perhaps more significant than the Negroid ancestry in southern Europeans are their Asiatic and non-European Caucasoid ancestry. From ancient Greek and Roman times (and even before) to the Turkish and Moorish invasions, southern Europe experienced gene flow from North Africa and the Near East. Italy has high levels (by European standards) of non-Caucasoid mtDNA. Italians have 20% Middle Eastern HG9 and 13% North African HG21. Greeks have 28% HG9 and 28% HG21, plus 3% Mongoloid HG26. One recent study even estimated that 85-100% of Greek male lineages are Neolithic (and at least some of those lineages arrived in Greece well after the Neolithic, one expects).
Even given all of the above, Europeans do cluster tightly genetically. While Europeans are all "white", they are not identical, and one can not wish away genetic differences. There is a hierarchy of relatedness. Northwest Europeans are most closely related to other northwest Europeans, and least related to southeast Europeans. NW Europeans are still more closely related to southeast Europeans than they are to non-Europeans, of course.
Photos of ItaliansBelow are a few examples of racially ambigous southern Italians. These aren't necessarily the most extreme specimens, and I could post dozens more, but these should serve to make the point.

Job descriptions are changing. That's true in IT and many other fields.
It's often due to rapid adoption of emerging technologies or new business models. For example, I'm now hearing more about the data scientist, the chief architect and other more generalist roles.
Want to take advantages of these changes? Then get building and adapting your personal brand.
Here are three steps that have helped me. And they can help you create and maintain your brand...
By focusing on the opportunities that these changes represent, you can prepare to differentiate yourself. You'll set yourself apart from those you are competing with for jobs, or advancement.
A personal brand—when well defined and executed—will showcase your expertise and place you in a position to thrive in an uncertain environment. It will identify you as a high-caliber professional—an asset to any IT organization.
In short, you need to define it, then build it, and continually review it.
Before you begin the process of building you need to plan. Decide what your brand stands for. How will others will perceive you?
Begin by creating two lists, the first is your strengths, skills, and areas of expertise. You'll often find these skills and strengths aren't necessarily part of your current job, but are manifested in some aspect of your personal life.
If you find it difficult to do this objectively, ask for help. Others can see aspects in us that we may not realize as our strengths.
The second list is what you stand for, or what's important to you. These are the personal values you hold important.
They may be harder to quantify, but this list is the bedrock to build your personal brand on.
With these two lists—skills and values—you can begin to build your personal brand.
A brand is not built in a day. That's true whether it's professional or personal; business or individual. It takes time and consistency to build your brand into something that others recognize and respond to.
(If you're looking for a quick, cheap fix, stop reading now!)
Armed with your lists, seek opportunities that reinforce your skills and values. New roles and new assignments can help you grow your brand and find exposure for it.
Use social media to create a voice for yourself. This can be done through well-known outlets, such as
Your actions, executed over time, with consistency, will establish a pattern. And it will be associated with your name—with your brand.
Workloads, shifting responsibilities, and new events in life can require you to re-establish your brand. Regular reviews help you stay focused and avoid veering off course.
New elements may arise that you can take advantage of. New opportunities may, at first glance, seem outside your current job requirements; but on deeper inspection can be parts of your brand building.
Change brings opportunity. Change creates gaps in vision and strategy; unforeseen circumstances create the need for new ideas and for people to execute on those ideas.
So dive into new areas that align with your brand. Don't miss out on course corrections that move you forward to your larger goal.
Be ready for what 2013 has to offer. Build your brand. Clearly identify to yourself what you stand for. Plan where you're heading professionally.
Be true to your brand. Be honest with yourself. Be authentic and consistent in your efforts. Then you'll demonstrate leadership and success.
If you do these things, then 2013 will be an opportunity for you. It will be one of your best years for your brand.

Happy weekend to you. Yesterday Joe and I wanted to do a fun and quick project for the house. We thought a firepit would be fun but didn't like the looks of the ones sold at Home Depot and this geometric firepit at DWR is out of our budget. Eventually, Joe will design his own and fabricate it himself but since that will take a fair amount of time and energy we decided to make something quick in the interim.
A few years ago while on a trip to Joshua Tree Joe's friend Jens introduced him to the washing machine drum firepit. It's a super-easy project and the design of the washing machine drum is perfect for a fire. Its small holes around the drum not only allow for oxygen flow to the fire but also make for a pretty light show. Joe added some welded feet to ours and painted it black but if you omit the extra features you can make this in an hour or less. It couldn't be easier. See below for instructions.
Materials we used:
1 Recycled Washing Machine Drum (we got ours at a used appliance store for $10)
Angle grinder (optional)
Cup wire brush, Cut-off wheel, and Flap-wheel sanding disc (for grinder, also optional)
Safety Glasses
Angle-stock and Flat-stock steel (optional)
High heat black paint (optional)
When we got the drum home we thought it could also make a fun, diy, side-table with lights inside.
Step One: Strip the drum. Remove all plastic bits including plastic rim (right) and plastic base (left). Clean off any gunk.
Step 2: Remove center spindle. This is optional.
Step 3: Cut off metal lip. Again, this is optional but makes the top look a little more clean. (p.s. gratuitous grinding shot) :)
Detail of removing the top lip. It's pretty rough when you take it off but then you can grind it down with the flapper-wheel.
Step 4: smooth out the top lip, any metal burrs, or jagged edges.
Step 5: The wire brush made quick work of removing years of soap scum.
Step 6: Joe fabricated some steel legs and welded them to the base so it was off the ground just a bit. This is also optional. Those little square tabs were added so it doesn't sink in the ground.
Step 7: Paint your firepit. Be sure to use high-heat paint. We chose black matte but something bright would be fun. It looks so pretty at night.
Enjoy your part-modern, part red-neck firepit. You'll particularly love it at night.

It is a week since veteran actor Pran, 92, is admitted to the Lilavati Hospital here. However, doctors say he is recovering and is fine.
"Pran is hospitalised here. He is alright and is absolutely fine," Suhir Dagaonkar, spokesperson of Lilavati Hospital, told IANS.
Asked when the actor will be discharged from the hospital, Dagaonkar said: "Right now all I can say is he is fine."
Pran established his image as Bollywood's quintessential villain in movies like "Brahmachari" and then worked in a variety of films like "Zanjeer", "Karz" and "Don".
