The Pakistan National Committee (PNC) of IUCN members met in Islamabad on March 26, 2010.
The meeting was chaired by its newly elected Chairperson Mr. Mohammad Tahseen and attended by all members of the PNC. The PNC members decided the composition for the Executive Committee as follows:
Mr. Mohammad Tahseen, Executive Director, South Asia Partnership–Pakistan
Vice Chair:
Secretary, Forest and Wildlife, Sindh Wildlife Department
Regional Councillor:
Mr. Javed Jabbar
Executive Committee members:
1) Ms. Maryam Bibi, Chief Executive Officer, Khwendo Kor
2) Secretary, Planning and Development Department, Government of Punjab
3) Ms. Samina Khan, Executive Director, SUNGI Development Foundation
4) Dr. Rashid Bajwa, Chief Executive Officer, National Rural Support Programme (NRSP)
Members also noted the importance of the International Year of Biodiversity 2010, and expressed the need for more coordinated and collaborative efforts to support the initiative.
The PNC meeting was preceded by a workshop on "Copenhagen Accord and Pakistan: Positioning for Mexico", which was attended by members and other partner organizations of IUCN in Pakistan. Several speakers from the government including Federal ministry, and non-government organizations reflected on their experiences at COP 15 in Copenhagen, and presented their views on strategic priorities for Pakistan in post Copenhagen (COP 15) scenario.
Dr. Ishfaq Ahmad Khan, Deputy Chairman Planning Commission, Government of Pakistan delivered opening remarks. He appreciated efforts of IUCN and Ministry of Environment for timely organizing this extremely useful event. Mr. Abid Ali, Joint Secretary (International Cooperation) represented the Ministry of Environment which is a State member of IUCN in Pakistan said that Pakistan is being affected by the impacts of climate change far more seriously than is generally recognized by the policy-makers and opinion leaders. Mr. Ali said that the Ministry of Environment, being the focal Ministry to deal with the subject, firmly believes that serious and immediate actions need to be taken by various stakeholders to fully understand and respond to the grave impacts of climate change.
The event was sponsored by the Department for International Development (DFID). Mr. Rodney Dyer, Infrastructure and Environment Advisor DFID appreciated IUCN's efforts in organising this event and emphasised on the need for developing a better understanding to mitigate and adapt to the climate change challenge.
Mr. Javed Jabbar, Vice President and Regional Councillor of IUCN said that IUCN has a unique convening capacity because of its unique structure which comprises membership of states and civil society. He said that many organizations are now focusing on addressing climate change issue in the country; however, there is still a need for a conceptual paradigm shift to take the issue of climate change beyond scientific research. He stressed on the role of media to generate awareness among masses.
The workshop ended with vote of thanks by Mr. Shah Murad Aliani, Country Representative of IUCN Pakistan highlighting the fact that this workshop was an outcome of the extensive work done by the Ministry of Environment and the goodwill between the Government of Pakistan and IUCN.

This mess cup belonged to Robert Pichette of Ashfield, Massachusetts, who served during World War II (WWII) with the Yankee Division and saw action on many fronts, including the Battle of the Bulge. He scratched the names of his regiment's locations on the cup. Largest among these markings is the place where he most likely longed to be; back home in Ashfield. The Battle of the Bulge (12/16/44 to 01/28/45) was the United States' largest land battle of WWII. Powerful German armies plunged into the heavily forested Ardennes region of eastern Belgium and northern Luxembourg, an area thought least likely for a German offensive. More than a million men fought in this battle including some 600,000 Germans, 500,000 Americans, and 55,000 British. There were 81,000 U.S. casualties, with 19,000 killed. With few forces left to defend "The Reich" the Germans could not prolong the inevitable. Germany's final defeat was only months away.

Ketchup. Anticipation. You want the tasty tomato essence to flow freely from the mouth of the bottle. Turn it upside down and wait. Nothing happens. Shake. Shake again.
This classic ketchup flow problem is one among many applications of research by an Anglo-American team of scientists interested in little understood phenomena that occur in liquid mixtures, like ketchup, when they act like solids. They have developed an innovative and powerful computational approach that allows them — with big help from the most advanced computing resources available — to simulate these mixtures, including what happens when you apply force. Shake again, harder, and glop, the ketchup remembers its liquid nature and deposits about six times as much tomatoey essence as you need.
In recent work, dubbed the TeraGyroid Project, this Boston-U.K. team pushed research in their field to where it hasn't gone before, and they've done it using the Grid, a much talked-about but still new style of scientific computing that links resources without regard to location. During SC2003 in Phoenix, TeraGyroid tied together more than 6,000 processors and 17 teraflops of computing at six different facilities on two continents. With this ability to flex the young muscles of Grid technology — including the National Science Foundation's TeraGrid — they've arrived at important scientific results that couldn't have been accomplished by now except for their Grid-based approach.
"Because of the Grid," says Bruce Boghosian of Tufts University, "we made progress in three months that would have taken more than a year by conventional methods." Boghosian, a professor of mathematics, leads the stateside contingent of the TeraGyroid effort.
"The Grid creates a tremendously powerful environment," says University of London chemist Peter Coveney, who leads TeraGyroid on the U.K. side. Using the Grid and a sophisticated approach called computational steering, the scientists "steer" their simulations in real time, so that the heavy-duty computing can focus where the dynamics are most interesting. As a result, says Coveney, "our productivity skyrocketed."
The TeraGyroid group's Grid sophistication received a 2004 ISC Award, the major supercomputing award in Europe, for "Integrated Data and Information Management." At SC2003 in Phoenix last November, TeraGyroid was recognized as the "Most Innovative Data-Intensive Application," which understates what is probably the most impressive feat yet of wide-based Grid computing. Linking the TeraGrid with the U.K. E-Science Grid via dedicated trans-Atlantic fiber, the intercontinental team relied on U.K. resources at Daresbury Lab and Manchester along with computing, storage and visualization facilities at four TeraGrid sites: PSC, NCSA, SDSC and Argonne.
Their simulations rely on an approach called the lattice-Boltzmann (LB) method, and — with PSC's LeMieux — they performed the largest LB simulation to date. These November computations were prepared by two months of work at U.S. and U.K. facilities and continued with follow-up computations into early February 2004, work which in sum yielded three terabytes of useful data.
To gather and collate this quantity of data from multiple sites was itself a large task, and the TeraGyroid team — as of April — is still analyzing results, with several papers in preparation. Their preliminary analysis points to new understanding of the somewhat bizarre liquid crystalline materials they are studying, and a strange shape known to mathematicians as a gyroid.
Amphiphiles & Gyroids
We've all noticed the line between oil and vinegar in a bottle of salad dressing. In chemical terms, the two liquids are immiscible. Add a third substance called an amphiphile to this kind of mix and interesting things happen. An amphiphile, by definition, is a chemical species that goes both ways. In vinegar and oil, for instance, one end of the molecule likes vinegar, the other oil.
Naturally, the amphiphile migrates to the interface between the two fluids, where both ends are happy. And if you add more and more amphiphiles, eventually there's no space at the interface. If you then keep adding amphiphiles, they work hard chemically to create more interface area, which they do by twisting and rippling the surface until, eventually, the surface breaks apart into oil-vinegar droplets of various contorted shapes that maximize the interface area.
Some of these contorted shapes — called mesophases — have features that resemble solid materials, hence the stuck-in-the-bottle consistency of ketchup. They also lead to many industrial applications. Soap, detergent and shampoo, for instance, contain surfactants, another name for amphiphiles. Sophisticated chemical use of amphiphilic fluids has led to high-gloss liquid waxes and environmentally-friendly dry-cleaning solvents.
One mesophase in particular, a unique shape called a gyroid, hence TeraGyroid, is the focus of the team's recent work. This convoluted and, at the same time, regularly patterned shape appears widely in biological systems. The endoplasmic reticulum, for instance, the organelle that manufactures proteins inside the cells of plants and animals, is gyroidal in structure, and gyroids have important applications in controlled drug release and biosensors.
One of the ways that a gyroid resembles the lattice-like, crystalline structure of a solid is that defects occur, disruptions to the regular pattern. These defects have a large effect on the mechanical properties of the fluid, such as rigidity — as when ketchup is stubborn. The objective of the TeraGyroid simulations at SC2003 was to look at these defects for the first time. To address questions such as: Under what conditions do defects appear? How do they change when force is applied?
"Dislocations in liquid crystals aren't well studied," says Boghosian, "how they develop at various temperatures, how they tend to move, how they behave under shear."
Joysticking on the TeraGrid
In the middle ground between modeling each atom of a molecule and the high ground of computational fluid dynamics, the lattice-Boltzmann model maps fluids as particles on a 3D lattice and follows their mass and momentum changes over time. Since the 1990s, the LB method has proven itself to be both highly efficient on parallel systems (linear scaling on all platforms on which it runs) and an accurate method for modeling the dynamical properties of mixed fluids.
In the late 90s, Boghosian and Coveney developed the first LB code capable of modeling "ternary amphiphilic fluids" such as oil, water and surfactant. With this code, called LB3D, Coveney and Ph.D student Nelido González-Segredo in 2003 for the first time "captured" the self-assembly of a gyroid mesophase in an amphiphilic fluid, a result that caught the attention of other scientists and laid the groundwork for the TeraGyroid Project.
To go beyond being able to see a gyroid to looking at gyroid defects as they form and change demanded both a much grander scale of simulation and — to use the resources efficiently — the sophistication of computational steering.
The gyroid is elusive, a mesophase that forms only under a narrow and not yet well understood set of conditions. The LB model includes many parameters — temperature, relative concentrations, how much the two immiscible fluids "dislike" each other, how strongly the surfactant interacts with each of them, and others — all of which affect whether a gyroid forms and the nature of its defects. With computational steering, the scientists are able to visualize a simulation in progress, make decisions to change how it evolves, and zero in on what they want to see.
"We like to joystick around within this complex parameter space," says Boghosian, "searching for these exotic phases. There are many parameters, and it takes human intelligence to look at a given phase and say 'OK, I can push that toward the gyroid, by lowering the temperature, etc.'"
The U.K. side of the team, with large involvement of Ph.D. student Jonathan Chin, carried most of the load in Grid-enabling LB3D. Remote researchers at Tufts (grad student Lucas Finn) and at British Telecommunications, Ipswich, U.K. collaboratively steered the simulation. Coveney emphasizes that the vision of the Grid — "transparent" access to resources without regard to location — is not yet reality, and it was a large task to coordinate this ambitious project.
"About 30 organizations played a part," he says, "and probably more than a 100 individuals. As one example, we had to negotiate agreements between six different certificate authorities to use all these intercontinental resources." The achievement of the TeraGyroid team in overcoming these and many other obstacles is in showing how Grid computing can dramatically reduce the time to insight in large-scale computational science.
Once the steering team zeroed in on a defect phase, the researchers enlarged the simulation — from two million lattice sites (1283) on smaller runs to more than a billion sites (1,0243) — using LeMieux, PSC's terascale system. "The idea of Grid computing," says Coveney, "is to be able to look at problems that haven't been accessible before. To capture these defects, you have to simulate extremely large amounts of material, and this takes you into the terascale domain. LeMieux is the only machine we have access to that could accommodate these extremely large simulations."
While the analysis of many terabytes of data is still in progress, the results show — among other things — that ternary amphiphilic fluids are non-Newtonian. In other words, they behave like ketchup, not like water. The viscosity depends on the shear rate. At rest, the fluid reacts to external force like a solid. Shake it vigorously, and it flows like a liquid. "We've been able to confirm," says Coveney, "that our gyroid behaves like a shear-thinning, non-Newtonian fluid."
"Being able to do these simulations," says Boghosian, "allows us to study the dynamics of the fluid in more detail than is currently possible by experiment." With further analysis, the TeraGyroid team hopes to suggest directions for laboratory work. As this research develops better understanding of these phenomena, it will undoubtedly lead to useful products and technologies impossible to anticipate — who knows, maybe someday a tasty ketchup that flows from the bottle smoothly and easily.

Apparently, it was time for a shakeup.
The Angels gave veteran Raul Ibanez his unconditional release to highlight a busy Saturday of maneuvering and tinkering.
The Angels also optioned reliever Cam Bedrosian to Double-A Arkansas, recalled outfielder/first baseman Efren Navarro and purchased the contract of reliever David Carpenter.
Ultimately, Ibanez's release will free up more at-bats for young sluggers like C.J. Cron, Grant Green and Navarro, but Angels manager Mike Scioscia said it was a tough call.
"Raul is going to be tough to replace in the clubhouse," Scioscia said. "He brings so many intangibles. Unfortunately on the field he was not moving forward, and we have some kids who are swinging the bats well. Raul is a great competitor and a terrific person, and we'll definitely miss him."
Ibanez is a 19-year Major League veteran who played for the Mariners, Royals, Phillies, Yankees and Angels. He is a .273 career hitter with 303 homers and 1,202 RBIs.
The Angels signed Ibanez — at age 42 the second-oldest player in the majors — to a one-year, $2.75 million contract that also included $2.25 million in incentives after he batted .242 with 29 homers and 62 RBIs last season for the Mariners.
But Ibanez batted just .157 (26 for 166) with three homers and 21 RBIs this season. Cron platooned with Ibanez at designated hitter and was batting .283 with four homers and 16 RBIs in 110 plate appearances and homered in Friday's 7-3 win over the Rangers. He also hit .371 with runners in scoring position.
Ibanez left the stadium without talking to reporters, but Scioscia said Ibanez handled it as well as one could expect.
"Like anybody, he was disappointed," Scioscia said. "But Raul is such a terrific human being and he understood. It was typical of what you would expect a guy of his class to handle it."
Bedrosian struggled in the bullpen in his short stint with the Angels, allowing nine runs in 5 2/3 innings with eight hits and seven walks.
Carpenter has torn it up at both Double-A Arkansas and Triple-A Salt Lake. He is 3-1 with a 2.27 ERA and 37 strikeouts and 14 walks in 35.7 combined innings.
Navarro hit .310 in 29 at-bats over 11 games this season for the Angels and was hitting .318 with four homers and 43 RBIs at Salt Lake City and figures to get increased everyday at-bats along with Cron.
Pujols sits with back injury
First baseman Albert Pujols was held out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Texas Rangers with a stiff back.
Pujols had recorded nine RBIs in his last seven games after managing just six RBIs in his previous 21 games combined.
Scioscia said he was day-today.
"His back tightened up during (Friday's) game a little bit and it's a little stiff today," Scioscia said. "So we'll give him a day and re-evaluate him tomorrow."
Shoemaker ready for start
Angels pitcher Matt Shoemaker got the nod for today's start against the Rangers' Yu Darvish.
Shoemaker has served in a dual capacity for the Angels, making 11 appearances, including six starts. He is 4-1 on the season with a 4.05 ERA and 43 strikeouts and nine walks in 40 innings.
Shoemaker said splitting time between starting and relieving has not affected him.
"It's just one of those things where you just have to go out and pitch," Shoemaker said. "I try to do whatever the team needs me to do. I'll try to go out, be aggressive and go as deep as possible. At the end of the day, hopefully we'll get in the win column."
Also …
Angels starter Tyler Skaggs threw a four-inning, 60-pitch simulated game Saturday. Scioscia said there is a chance Skaggs could return next week. "He looked better as his outing went on. His last 10 pitches are about what you'd expect from him." … The Stanley Cup made a surprise visit to Angels Stadium on Saturday and Howie Kendrick was among the players who posed with the iconic trophy.

(Reuters) - New dad Patrick Reed pulled ahead of his faltering rivals to open a two-stroke lead after the third round at the $6.5 million Quicken Loans National in Maryland on Saturday.
Reed moved within sight of his fourth victory in 10 months with an even-par 71 on the brutally tough Congressional course in Bethesda just outside Washington D.C.
The American posted a six-under 207 total, while Australian Marc Leishman (73), Swede Freddie Jacobson (71) and South Korean Noh Seung-Yul (66) were equal second on four-under.
Six others, including last year's U.S. Open champion Justin Rose, were three strokes behind.
Australian Oliver Goss, who shared the halfway lead in his second tournament as a pro, got a reality check to fall five shots behind with a 76 that included a double bogey at the par-four 12th, where he missed a putt from barely 18 inches.
Reed has enjoyed a meteoric rise since his maiden PGA Tour victory in a playoff against Jordan Spieth in Greensboro, North Carolina, last August.
He made headlines after his third win, at the WGC Cadillac Championship in Miami in March, when he said he was one of "the top five players in the world".
But the 23-year-old has not backed up his words since, missing five cuts in eight starts before this week, perhaps due partly to the distraction of the recent birth of his first child.
He currently is ranked 29th in the world and is a noted front runner, having converted all three of his 54-hole leads into victories.
"I'm in great position," Reed told CBS television, adding that he needed to 'tighten up' a few aspects of his game before the final round.
Jacobson made his move with four front nine birdies, only to drop four shots in four holes on the tough stretch starting at the 10th.
"I played awesome on the front nine," he said.
So did Noh, a winner in New Orleans in April, who charged into contention for his second tour title with the best round of the day on a course where punishing rough and firm greens made birdies a prized commodity.
Congressional has hosted three U.S. Opens, most recently in 2011 when Rory McIlroy won, but it is playing tougher this week due to the dry conditions.

• The Summit League, of course, is playing out as a one-bid league again.
There was some chance, however small, that Oakland, with its difficult nonconference schedule that included a win at Tennessee, could at least be up for an at-large bid if the Golden Grizzlies would happen to stumble in the conference tournament.
Not now. Oakland is 82nd in the RPI, and there aren't going to be any opportunities to move up much in the RPI with conference games. The next best RPI ranking is IUPUI, at 123.
Still, if the Golden Grizzlies win the Summit League's automatic bid, they'll project out as a 13th or 14th seed in the NCAA tournament, and would be a dangerous first-round opponent.

It's the last stop on the Road to Wrestlemania for Monday Night RAW in Omaha, Nebraska. Let's see if Vince McMahon and company can convince us to shell out almost fifty bucks for the pay-per-view this weekend.
The Chairman of the Board kicks of the show from his office. Vince announces that we will be treated to a once in a lifetime event, as he takes on John Cena, tonight.
Mick Foley makes his way to the ring. He holds two boxes, leaving one at the top of the ramp. Foley says that even though he has a hardcore match with Edge, it gives him no right to shove his fingers down Lita's throat. Mick pulls a bouquet of roses out of the box and asks Lita to come out and accept his gift. Edge and Lita walk out, and wants to know why he should open the other box. Foley tells him it's something he can use on Sunday. Edge pulls a baseball bat out of the
box on the ramp, and runs into the ring. Foley produces a barbed wire bat, and takes a swing at Edge. The Rated R Superstar exits through the crowd, and a video package about Foley airs. After the video, Mick is in the corner of the ring rocking back and forth, licking the barbed wire.
Match # 1 - Carlito vs. Kane
(Um, didn't we see this match last week? In fact I didn't even have to change the header from last week.)
Carlito leaps into a choke slam, but grabs the ref to break the hold. The ref calls for the bell, and Carlito runs to the back.
Winners via DQ: Kane
Kane chases Carlito into a corner, but is jumped by Masters, Lance Cade, and Trevor Murdoch. They force Kane into a closet, and drive a forklift in front of the door. Big Show tries to make the save, but cannot find the key for the forklift. Show starts to push the forklift out of the way.
Carlito and Masters head back to the ring for the Masterlock Challenge.
Big Show is still working on the forklift, when
Kane walks up from behind, and asks if he needs some help. Apparently, there's a back door to the closet, so Kane just let himself out. Kane and Show mention that these guys are idiots, and head to the ring.
(Now that's some good mid-card humor, that WWE has been sorely missing.)
Masterlock Challenge - Big Show
Kane chases Carlito into the crowd, and Show sets up for the Challenge. Show settles into the chair, and Masters tries to lock in the hold. After several unsuccessful attempts, Masters hits him with a forearm to the back. Show punches Masters, and leaves him lying in the ring after a choke slam.
A John Cena promo airs. (Which everyone talks like this match with Triple H is a shoot, much to the disgust of fellow SLAM! writer Nick Tylwalk.)
Match #2 - Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels
(Since WWE is using Peter Gabriel's Big Time as the Wrestlemania theme, shouldn't Trips change his entrance music to Sledgehammer?)
After a back body drop to HHH, that sends him spilling over the ropes to the floor,
Vince McMahon heads out to the ring. Michaels hits the flying forearm, and then a reverse atomic drop. Vince grabs Shawn as he comes off the ropes. Triple H goes for the Pedigree, but HBK blocks it. Michaels catapults Trips into Vince. HBK drops the elbow off the top rope, starts to warm up the band. Vince grabs Shawn, again, and HBK pulls the boss onto the apron. He nails the chairman with a punch, but turn around into a kick from HHH. Hunter nails the Pedigree, and goes outside to grab a sledgehammer. Vince slides into the ring, but Cena runs down to make the save. Hunter and Cena trade punches, and HHH is knocked from the ring.
No Contest
Todd Grisham gets a reaction from Vince. The Chairman says Cena can have HBK in
his corner tonight, because Vince will have HHH in his corner.
Ric Flair heads to the ring. He says he is destined to win the World Championship for a seventeenth time. Shelton Benjamin comes out and says he's sick of Flair. The Nature Boy punches Benji, but Shelton nails him with a Samoan drop. Benjamin starts to climb the ladder, when RVD runs in and pulls him off. RVD sets up Benji on the ladder, and hits rolling thunder. Van Dam gets on the mike and says it's every man for himself, so Flair hits him with a thumb to the eye.
Match #3 - The Spirit Squad (Johnny, Kenny and Mikey) vs. Eugene, Val Venis, and Viscera
Johnny covers Val Venis for the win, after Venis is kicked off the top rope by Mikey with help from a trampoline. After the match, the Squad continues to beat on their opponents.
Winner via pinfall: The Spirit Squad (Johnny, Kenny and Mikey)
In the interest of fairness, Triple H gets his shoot video, now.
Mickie James is sitting in a room with pictures of Trish all around. She is completely psycho and tells Trish that she will destroy her. Watching in the back, Trish is unnerved, as Torrie comes to get her for their match.
Match #4 - Torrie Wilson and Trish Stratus vs. Candice Michelle and Victoria
Trish pins Victoria after a chick kick, as Torrie and Candice fight outside the ring.
Winner via pinfall: Torrie Wilson and Trish Stratus
Vince has security escort Cena to the back, and announces that
this is now a handicap match.
Match #5 - John Cena w/ HBK vs. Vince McMahon w/ HHH
Before the match, Vince announces that neither corner man will interfere, because they will be handcuffed to the ring. Vince starts off the match, by ducking Cena. The champ powers out of a side headlock from Vince, and into a top wrist lock. Vince slaps Cena and sets up for a test of strength. Cena gains the advantage, but Vince kicks him in the junk. The ref calls for the bell.
Winner via DQ: John Cena
Vince swipes the handcuff key from the ref, and unlocks Triple H. Hunter grabs the sledge, and nails Cena with it. Hunter taunts Michaels, as HBK tries to fight both men off. Hunter nails HBK in the gut, and Vince nails him with a chair shot. Hunter heads back into the ring, and stands over Cena as the show goes off the air.

Genevieve Taggard's Preface to Origin: Hawaii (1947)
Please remember, dear reader, that some of these verses were written when, so to speak, I was a one-celled poet. I will not make a big slur on my early self--that would be outrageous pride upside down. But remember that the first of these verses were written about 1914--a long time ago.
It is very hard to be a poet, even before the cells begin to multiply. This fact should set someone in Hawaii to trying. A place that has not been truly felt and communicated does not, in a certain sense, exist. Just as a human being who is not quite conscious may be said not quite to exist either. Hawaii's color and her unique life stream out into the vastness of space; it shines for me in time, but it is in danger of being lost to both.
I wonder why the Hawaiian, the Japanese, the Chinese and all the other racial groups have never written poems in the language of the Islands? There was a Hawaiian poetry of old, just as there is a literature of every country represented in the Islands. What accounts for the blank now? Is the life of a poet an economic impossibility in Hawaii? Are there no scholarships, no awards, no prizes? More important, does no one tell the young student that poems can be written today? When I look at Gauguin's picture of the girl with mango flowers, I laugh at first glance because they are not mango flowers at all; but the girl is very good, second cousin to a Hawaiian girl. That is the important thing--we draw near Tahiti when we see her. It is hard for me to imagine what the true poems of Hawaii will be like. Poppy juice illustrates how they should be written, I think.
I have been startled to reflect that "Child Tropics" written in 1921 and "Luau" written in 1946 are on related themes, except that the later poem introduces as counterpoint the reality of racial suffering. In the little church my parents attended in Honolulu I was impressed with the text, "I am come that ye might have life and have it more abundantly." When we sat listening I had only to move my eyes from the minister to see outside the flowering vines and colored trees of abundance. Nevertheless, or perhaps because we lived a rich sensuous life, the text became my own. I have never ceased to think that the text, taken literally, should be the aim of all governments. I scoff at those who tell me solemnly that government must be something else. I am not interested in anything else and come to think of it, neither are you, dear reader.
When we were living in Pearl Harbor where I wrote some of these verses, (just before World War I) I was reading Latin and playing the piano. I did both badly, impressionistically, never accurately, but I touched something I still keep. We had a little Victrola, a light brown oaken one that we carried with us, and a few songs by Schumann in German; our lives were enormously enriched by a friend who took us sailing. Other things stirred me in those days to attempt poems, but what I wrote was sentimental and blurry, in imitation of bad models. I am forever indebted, when I remember those years, to the kindness of Mrs. Walter Frear, in whose house we lived on the Peninsula. The German lyrics became a standard of something fine and remote, the bees in our algaroba trees made the same sound that Virgil imitated in the Latin text, and sailing added something new,--the masculine pleasure of boats. One's miseries--and there were some which were acute, having to do with my father's illness and the lack of money--became the final push toward writing. I am still forced to write. No matter how happy or fortunate our personal lives the great cause still remains--it is "the misery of the world that will not let us rest." (John Keats, Hyperion)

On Friday, Lee Stone, vice president for legislative affairs at the Ames Research Center chapter of the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers, said that as a scientist, he is most concerned about the deterioration of a post-doctoral fellows program that had recruited much of NASA's talent in the past.
"Twenty years ago, people like myself and [many senior staff in his division] were brought in as post-doctoral fellows," said Stone, a human factors researcher. "The funds for that have almost completely dried up."
Like interns in medical school, the fellows supplied NASA research centers with extra manpower and gave NASA scientists the chance to tap -- and usually keep -- the talented ones for permanent positions.
The union called on appropriators to give NASA about $1 billion more than President Bush proposed for fiscal 2008, or a total of $18.3 billion.
"Given that the Department of Defense's military space programs have been funded in excess of $20 billion annually and that NASA's exploration activities will likely produce new dual-use capabilities, we recommend that you consider moving some space funding from DOD to NASA to cover the plus-up," the letter said.
On Friday, NASA defended the agency's commitment to education. "Education is and will continue to be a fundamental element of NASA's activities reflecting a diverse portfolio of higher, pre-college and informal education programs," spokesman Bob Jacobs said.
He added that NASA's "primary role in education" is providing U.S. youth opportunities to experience "the kind of exciting programs" that will propel them to study science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
More money is always welcome but not necessary, Jacobs said. The real challenge is prioritizing available resources in a manner that benefits the students and the taxpayers, he said. "We believe we can do that with the funds provided."
But Keith Cowing, editor of NASAWatch.com and a former NASA scientist, said cuts have prevented the agency from fulfilling its innovative outreach goals.
"Everybody expects every agency to be hip and with it," but that takes time and money, he said. "The real problem is when they try" to meet these expectations, "Congress cuts their budget."
"To their credit, [some officials] are actually getting hip to this," Cowing said. He pointed to NASA's Ames Center, where the agency is sharing computer scientists and office space with Silicon Valley neighbor Google.
House Science and Technology Committee Chairman Bart Gordon, D-Tenn., noted that NASA's fiscal 2008 request for education is down more than 8 percent from last year's request.
"With respect to outreach, I don't agree that it is a case of NASA shirking its responsibilities; rather, I think that the agency could do a better job utilizing the resources it does have," he said in a statement. "NASA is a well-known and respected 'brand.' It has inspired previous generations, and there is no reason it can't continue to do so."

Wall Street executives should have been punished greater financially — perhaps even have been fired — for not managing risk successfully during the Great Recession thus needing a bailout to survive, according to Warren Buffett.
The billionaire chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, in his annual letter to shareholders, said investors who held stock in those wrecked companies absorbed most of the damage — and that's not right, he said.
"The CEOs and directors of the failed companies, however, have largely gone unscathed," Buffett wrote in his 20-page letter. "Their fortunes may have been diminished by the disasters they oversaw, but they still live in grand style. It is the behavior of these CEOs and directors that needs to be changed: If their institutions and the country are harmed by the irrecklessness, they should pay a heavy price — one not reimbursable by the companies they've damaged nor by insurance."
Buffett said the CEOs and, in many cases, directors have long benefited from oversized financial carrots — "some meaningful sticks now need to be part of their employment picture as well."
The letter, much anticipated by investors and pored over by many on Wall Street in hopes of gaining some insight into the M.O. of the executive who Berkshire shares posted an average, compounded annual gain of 20.3 percent since 1965.
The Oracle of Omaha also said he expected the housing market to recover by the start of 2011 — but that "prices will remain far below 'bubble' levels."

Leviathan Is Back
The threat of statism has reemerged in force. The federal government has seized on the economic crisis to radically expand its power—through bailouts, "stimulus" packages, a trillion-dollar health care plan, "jobs bills," massive expansions of the money supply, and much more. But such interventionism did not suddenly materialize with the recent collapse. The dangerous trends of government growth, debt increases, encroachments on individual liberty, and attacks on the free market began years earlier and continued no matter which political party was in power.
This shift toward statism "will not end happily," declares bestselling author Thomas E. Woods. In Back on the Road to Serfdom, Woods brings together ten top scholars to examine why the size and scope of government has exploded, and to reveal the devastating consequences of succumbing to the statist temptation.
Spanning history, economics, politics, religion, and the arts, Back on the Road to Serfdom shows: ul>
It's been more than sixty-five years since F. A. Hayek published his seminal work The Road to Serfdom. Now this impeccably timed book provides another desperately needed warning about—and corrective to—the dangers of statism.

"Reading the essays in this book . . . Is like entering an alternate universe. Our minds are so used to accepting the distortions that the reality looks like heresy. . . . The ideas in Back on the Road to Serfdom have the power to bring America back to something like what the Founders envisioned. . . . This slender, but highly informative volume . . . Can work wonders in changing the way we look at government and economic growth."

Pieter Hugo's new series, Permanent Error, depicts Agbogbloshie, a massive dump site for technological waste on the outskirts of Ghana's capital city, and the locals who burn down the components to extract bits of copper, brass, aluminum and zinc for resale. Tons of outdated and broken computers, computer games, mobile phones and other e-waste are shipped to the area as "donations" from the West, under the guise of providing technology to developing countries. Rather than helping to bridge the digital divide, the equipment is transformed into noxious trash threatening the health of the area's inhabitants and contaminating the water and soil.
Gray plumes of smoke rise from smoldering piles of disassembled monitors, motherboards and wiring, providing an apocalyptic backdrop for Hugo's portraits of the workers. The subjects, many of whom are young men sent by their families from impoverished outlying villages, are photographed full-figure and directly engaged with Hugo's medium-format camera. With each portrait, Hugo draws the viewer into the conditions imposed on this slum community and their effects on individuals. Collectively, the photographs expose consequences of the West's consumption of ever-new technology and its disposal of outmoded products in poor countries ill-equipped to recycle them. See Pieter Hugo's Permanent exhibition at Yossi Milo Gallery in NYC from Sept. 8- Oct. 29th.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The mental capacity of Los Angeles Clippers co-owner Donald Sterling will not be part of an upcoming probate trial over whether his estranged wife had the authority to sell the NBA team, a judge said on Monday, averting a battle over Sterling's mental fitness.
The four-day trial, which is set to start on July 7, will focus on whether Shelly Sterling properly installed herself as sole controlling trustee of the family trust that owns the Clippers after two physicians deemed her 80-year-old husband mentally incapable to handle business.
Sterling, whose attorneys have argued he was misled into submitting to mental examinations in May, has vowed to block the NBA-record $2 billion sale brokered by his wife to former Microsoft Corp Chief Executive Steve Ballmer.
"We are going to argue their examinations were by way of undue influence," Sterling's attorney, Bobby Samini, said outside court. "Their examinations were not complete."
Sterling, who has owned the Clippers for 33 years, was banned for life by the National Basketball Association in April and fined $2.5 million after privately taped racist remarks were leaked to celebrity website TMZ.com.
Attorneys for both parties also agreed that Donald Sterling revoked the family trust following the sale to Ballmer. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Levanas will rule on how that could affect any sale of the Clippers.
Sterling's attorneys had been prepared to have a physician testify that Sterling was mentally capable, but Levanas would not agree to delay the trial for the expert witness' testimony.
"The trust is obligated, whether revoked or not, to consummate the deal," said Shelly Sterling's attorney, Pierce O'Donnell.
Shelly Sterling petitioned the probate court to confirm her as the trust's controlling trustee in time for the NBA owner's July 15 vote to approve the sale to Ballmer.
Sterling has also sued the NBA and its commissioner, Adam Silver, for $1 billion in damages.

Happy Birthday Emma Stone! Although the actress just turned 26, she has already accomplished so much in Hollywood. From starring in comedies like Easy A and Crazy, Stupid, Love to film noir's such as Gangster Squad, Stone has done it all. She has also starred alongside her share of leading men including off-screen boyfriend, Andrew Garfield, and Ryan Gosling (twice!). In order to celebrate her birthday weekend, we have gathered our favorite luxury swimwear pieces for the redheaded beauty.
Emma Stone perfectly embodies old Hollywood glamour. From looks on the red carpet to her roles in movies, Stone is often seen channeling old Hollywood glamour through her wardrobe and beauty choices. In order for Stone to bring the retro look to the pool, we recommend Lady Lux's Stripe it Rich Bandeau Bikini. This suit would turn heads paired with the stars signature retro curls and bright lipstick! Nautical-themed bikinis are great way for anyone to vintage glamour to the pool . Keep the retro trend going by pairing it with big curls, like Emma; or update the look by rocking beach waves and wedge sandals.
What's great about Emma Stone is that she can pull off so many different looks. Along with seeing her in retro styles, we have also seen the star in bohemian inspired looks on the red carpet. Although the looks are completely different from each other, Emma pulls them both off effortlessly. For lounging around the pool with her A-list boyfriend, Andrew Garfield, we recommend Lady Lux's Sweet Talker Tunic. This tunic is the perfect combination of boho and sweet to create a chic, laid-back look. This tunic is also a great way for porcelain-skinned beauties, like Stone, to protect their skin while enjoying the heat.
The petite actress radiates in bright pink, and the contrast of the color with her hair is gorgeous. Because of that, we would love to see her in Lady Lux's Spring Fling Bikini in Pink. This vibrant suit will stand out against her creamy skin so beautifully. This bikini is vibrant and fun, and perfect for long days at the beach. This suit would look great with natural beach-waves and nothing else.

МакЛарън за Бахрейн
Дженсън Бътън:
The Sakhir circuit requires a good overall car balance. There are some tricky and technical low-speed changes of direction; you need to place the car really precisely at the corner entry in order to maximise traction at the exit. And there are also some high-speed sweeps – Turns Six and Seven, for example – and some fast corners, such as the uphill left-hander at Turn 11. You need a good front-end, but also good traction, to get the best from those corners. It's a place where the grip levels can be quite hard to anticipate, and where the wind direction can play quite an important part in determining the car's balance. The wind can affect top speed and cornering performance, so practice will be more important than ever in enabling us to take the best overall package into qualifying and the race.Серхио Перес:
The Bahrain Grand Prix circuit has plenty of run-off and a good combination of high- and low-speed corners. The challenge for the drivers comes from the constantly evolving nature of the corners, and dealing with the sand – which gets blown onto different areas of the track from the surrounding desert. With two DRS zones, I think we should see some decent racing: the two best overtaking opportunities are into the Turn One and Turn Four hairpins. They're both good places to attack – you can force another driver onto the inside line and then attack on the exit, when they're more vulnerable. The second DRS zone will mainly be used to close the gap down to the car in front, before attacking again along the pits straight.Мартин Уитмарш:
Bahrain marks the end of the opening fly-away leg of the 2013 world championship. That being the case, following on in quick succession from last weekend's Chinese Grand Prix, we'll look to consolidate our achievements in Shanghai with further solid points finishes this weekend. While the first three races haven't been the easiest for us, there's been a little progress at every round, and we'll be looking for another improved showing, as well as the opportunity to increase our understanding of MP4-28, in Bahrain this weekend. The work that goes on at the track is only the tip of the iceberg, though. There's been an incredible amount of effort expended back at the McLaren Technology Centre [Woking, UK], so as to ensure that the delivery of new parts, and the evaluation of fresh ideas, remain constant. I therefore want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who's contributed to that work. Your efforts never go unnoticed, and the development trend is in the right direction.

I'm so saddened by the actions of a man who found an end to his rope of the American Dream, an end which prompted an American Nightmare. The victims of this tragedy continue to reveal their sad truths, but some ugly lies are also cropping up across this nation.
I won't stain my own blog with links to these accusations, but already the blame is being cast on the movie. It's obvious everyone wants to equate the suspect to The Joker, and indict the franchise as complicit. That would make as much sense as prosecuting Santa Claus for the many shooting sprees he's been responsible for.
WB has efficiently addressed the situation in an appropriate manner, but I have to think there's a way to convince the world there's still hope in the moviegoing experience. And there is. Go to the movies. There's not going to be any copycat; this was an isolated event. And furthermore, check out this video, which includes the Joker briefly, and I consider one of the best edited pieces ever. Don't Stop Beleivin' in the movies, cause they make us believe, when done right.

VIENNA, Va.—VidSys, a provider of PSIM software, today announced that the city of Houston deployed its software to manage potential security threats during the NBA All-Star festivities held Feb. 14-17, according to a company statement.
BRS Labs, providers of "behavioral analytics", which made some loud pronouncements at ASIS [and who will have an end user participating in TechSec 2012] announced the other day that Houston will use its software in its city surveillance "critical infrastructure protection program."
BRS say its software "AISight," [which it pronounces "eyesight"] can "attach to existing video surveillance infrastructure and watch, learn, and identify unusual behavioral patterns in real time … to proactively identify security violations, potential criminal activity and more serious threats."
In a press release, Hobby Wright, BRS Labs VP for Strategic Programs said: "We are seeing substantial demand for our reason-based video surveillance software and the City of Houston is one of many American cities deploying and developing programs that incorporate our intelligence into their video surveillance operations."
Very interesting—curious to learn how it works out.

John Philip Dawson (1928-2010)
Historian of the French Revolution
John Philip Dawson III, professor emeritus of history at Brooklyn College, City University of New York, died in New York City on March 21, 2010. He was 81 years old.
The son of John Philip Dawson II, a prominent attorney, law professor, and author of numerous legal publications, he was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on November 28, 1928. Graduating from the University of Michigan in 1950 with an AB degree, he also took an AM in economics there the following year. Between 1952 and 1955, Dawson served as a reporter for the Washington Post. He then entered graduate school at Harvard University where he received his doctorate in 1961. His doctoral dissertation, written under the direction of Crane Brinton, was based on extensive research carried out in France with the aid of a Social Science Research Council fellowship. The dissertation was published in 1971 by Harvard University Press as Provincial Magistrates and Revolutionary Politics in France, 1789–95, part of its historical monograph series. Dawson's thesis benefited substantially from the knowledge that be had gained from critiquing two volumes produced by his father, A History of Lay Judges (1960) and The Oracles of the Law (1968).
Dawson began his professional career when be presented a paper on the bourgeoisie de robe in 1789 at the 1963 meeting of the society for French Historical Studies held at Harvard. A revised version would appear in French Historical Studies two years later. He further demonstrated his expertise when he prepared a volume of carefully translated and edited documents, The French Revolution, published by Prentice-Hall in 1967.
His teaching career started at Harvard where he served as an instructor from 1961 to 1964. He then accepted a position at Stanford University as an assistant professor, remaining there for nine years and rising to the rank of associate professor. In 1973 Dawson returned east to become a full professor at Brooklyn College and eventually retired as professor emeritus in 1998.
Dawson is survived by his wife Kathryn Callaghan, his son John Philip Dawson IV and daughter Liza Dawson, as well as four grandchildren.
A kind, gentle, soft-spoken, and good-humored individual, Phil Dawson was long dedicated to the cause of social justice, a reflection of his extensive work on the achievements of the French Revolution.
