The World War II veteran probably didn't know it at the time, but his simple act of kindness sparked a lifelong obsession for Victor Kerpel, an East Hampton artist. As a boy, riding a bike around his Manhattan neighborhood, Mr. Kerpel would pretend to shoot down German and Japanese aircraft.
"Hey kid," the veteran asked him. "What are you doing?"
"I'm shooting down enemy planes!"
"Come over here, I've got something for you."
The gift was the veteran's A-2 flight jacket from the Army Air Force, issued to pilots and crew. "This thing was huge on me, but I would not take it off," Mr. Kerpel said last week. "That was the cat's pajamas. It lived on me 24/7."
Manufactured for the Army by contractors such as Aero Leather Clothing Company, the Cable Raincoat Company, and Perry Sportswear, authentic A-2 jackets are currently valued between a few hundred and several thousand dollars, depending on condition, customization, and verification. For Mr. Kerpel, his neighbor's gift led both to the aforementioned obsession and a "glorified hobby."
Using channels such as eBay, swap meets, and flea markets, Mr. Kerpel has been buying and selling authentic A-2 jackets for some 25 years. Though the available supply is dwindling, the Internet, flea markets, and word of mouth have brought him in contact with a global community of collectors.
Most A-2 jackets were made of horsehide, Mr. Kerpel said, and some are goatskin. To the trained eye, it isn't too difficult to separate the genuine article from a reproduction. "You see guys walking around in the mall with jackets that kind of look [authentic], but if you look closely, you'll see that they're big enough to cover their gut, or are weirdly patched all over the place. Remember, guys in 1940-45 generally weren't 'workout' guys, and in order to squeeze into cockpits, even in the big planes, they were about 5 foot 6, 5 foot 8."
The jackets, he said, are "not exactly form-fitting, but they're not loose, floppy garments. They're very straightforward, no frills, purely utilitarian. They were designed to take some beating."
On a sun-filled deck at his house, Mr. Kerpel displayed several A-2 jackets, some with patches on the front, some sporting an airman's name, and some customized on the back with the image that decorated a particular plane's fuselage. "The Belle of the Brawl," an illustration in the style of the era's pin-up art — a voluptuous woman, bombs cascading down on either side of her — decorates one. "These were 18-year-old kids," said the collector. "Sometimes there was somebody with real talent, and they painted beautiful stuff on them. Other times it was pretty crude or rough. You had a bomber group of 10 young men who became very close-knit, kind of a team. They wanted a team reference, thus they would name their plane, and create some kind of art depicting that."
Some of the patches adorning jackets were Army-sanctioned, he added, but others were unofficial. "Some were a bit risqué."
In the 1960s, while a student at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, Mr. Kerpel had a studio at Bleecker Street and the Bowery. At the time, he recalled, when "the Bowery was the Bowery, full of winos and really a wreck," many down-on-their-luck veterans sold their worldly possessions, including their A-2s, to secondhand stores. "They could be had for 10 or 15 dollars," he said. "That ended."
Along with the dwindling supply, fervent collectors have bid prices stratospherically high in recent years. There are collectors in the United States, Britain, China, Greece, Italy, even the Middle East, but some of the most avid are Japanese. "They still have this idea of the bushido," the code of honor of the Japanese warrior class.
Though it has become more difficult to find authentic A-2 jackets, the recession spurred many people to sell unnecessary possessions, said Mr. Kerpel. "These things ebb and flow," he said. "There are folks that have unlimited resources and can buy whatever they want whenever they want. For the rest of the world, in order to buy something to just have it . . . you have to consider that."
Most serious collectors know one another, if not personally, then by reputation, "and reputation counts a lot," he said. "There are some rascals who try to sell garbage, and jazz up a jacket to look like something it's not. Newbies are taken all the time."

Morocco's Islamist Prime Minister
Tuesday, December 6, 2011
Foreign Policy -- Avi Spiegel is an assistant professor of political science at the University of San Diego and is completing a book on the rise of young Arab Islamists.
The first elected Islamist party to take over the reins of government in the Arab world arrived in the unlikely location of Morocco. The Party of Justice and Development (PJD) finished first in the November 25 elections, gaining 107 of 395 seats in parliament. Their leader, Abdullah Benkirane, will now ascend to what was once considered an unthinkable position for an Islamist: he will be the country's next prime minister. (Full Story)

Wouldn't that be an LM1 car with the 350 and q-jet?Mike
Looks like what I would refer to as an Armistice Day motor.Similar to how I refer to my block as the Valentines Day motor (T0214)Mike
The LM1 was dropped sometime around the calender year 1969 and replaced by the L69 (I think that's the code) It was a 350 2bbl mated with the new TH350. Being the horsepower had dropped, the 12 bolt rear was no longer required

The Games
The East Central University softball team will look to open the Great American Conference and home portions of their 2013 schedule this weekend when they host Southeastern Oklahoma State. The games have been rescheduled for a double-header on Feb. 23 due to the rain and snow fall in the area over the week, starting at 1 p.m.

Scouting Southeastern
The Savage Storm are raked No. 2 in the latest NFCA.com polls after starting the season 14-3 and winning their last eight games, including three ranked opponents on the way to the NFCA Leadoff Classic Title last weekend.
Jessica Simmons and Courtney Moore lead Southeastern at the plate. Simmons has a .356 batting average, with 21 hits and four RBIs. Moore has 17 hits, four home runs, 15 RBIs and a .354 average.
Jacee Bennett and Mindy McElroy are the key pitchers for the Savage Storm. Bennett is 9-1, with two saves, three complete games, a 2.15 ERA and a .206 opponent batting average. McElroy is 4-1, with a 2.01 ERA and 22 strikeouts to her credit.
As a team, Southeastern has a .293 batting average and has allowed just a .242 average by the opposition. The pitching staff has recorded a 2.85 ERA and forced their opponents into a 4.05 ERA.
Against the Savage Storm
Last year the Lady Tigers and Southeastern played four games, with ECU going 1-3 in the series. The Savage Storm earned a 36 to 50 hit advantage, but the Lady Tigers hit six home runs to three by Southeastern.

She tallied 10 RBIs and a .786 slugging percentage. For her efforts she was named to the 14-member St. Mary's All-Tournament Team as the catcher.
Manship GAC Pitcher of the Week

George Sturt:
An Inventory of His Collection at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center
|Sturt, George, 1863-1927
|George Sturt (pseud. George Bourne) Collection 1893-1927
|2 boxes
|This collection consists of holograph and typescript drafts of books, articles, and essays; typescripts of passages from Sturt's journals; and letters. These materials document the life and literary works of the English teacher, wheelwright, and writer who was best known for his books, essays, and articles on country people and life published under the pseudonym George Bourne.

|George Sturt was born in Farnham, Surrey, in 1863. He was a grammar school teacher until 1894 when his father died, after which George Sturt took over the family wheelwright shop in Farnham, where he lived for the rest of his life. He wrote numerous books and articles under the name George Bourne.
|Sturt's first published book was A Year's Exile (1898), a novel--his only published novel--about country life among the people of Surrey. Many of Sturt's later books, essays, and articles dealt with country people and life, and at times with more specific and technical aspects of the practices and tools of the wheelwright and farmer. Among such books were The Bettesworth Book (1901), Change in the Village (1912), Lucy Bettesworth (1913), A Farmer's Life, with a Memoir of the Farmer's Sister (1922), and The Wheelwright's Shop (1923), often considered to be his best book. Sturt also authored a book on aesthetics titled The Ascending Effort (1910).
|Although Sturt had friends in literary circles in London, he rarely left his village: he was devoted to the observation of the life and crafts there. Sometime in 1916 Sturt was struck with an illness which left him partially paralyzed; however, he continued to write until his death in 1927.
|The George Sturt Collection (1893-1927) consists of holograph and typescript drafts of books, articles, and essays; typescripts of passages from Sturt's journals; and Sturt's holograph letters. The collection is arranged in three series: works, journals, and letters.
|The works series is arranged alphabetically by the title of each piece. The manuscripts of articles, essays, and books represent the complete range of subjects and themes on which Sturt wrote. The works in the collection cover topics such as timber, tools, socialism, and philanthropy, all of which center in some way around village life and labor in the present and past. The manuscripts are in a variety of states of completion, but most manuscripts are in Sturt's hand and are heavily revised. Of his major work the collection includes two early versions of The Ascending Effort, a holograph manuscript titled "Evolution and Art," and a typescript, retitled "Art and Empire" ; a manuscript of the title sketch of Lucy Bettesworth; and the heavily revised manuscript of Sturt's unpublished novel "The Extinction of the Keens," accompanied by a letter to Sturt's friend, sent before Sturt began to write the novel, which outlines the book's plot.
|Typescript passages from Sturt's journals appear to be transcriptions made from the originals with corrections in Sturt's hand. The two main periods covered by the journals are 1901-1905 and 1923-1927. The entries covering from March 1925 through January 1927 make up over half of the series. The journals contain the seeds of Sturt's published writing. Entries include descriptions of people and scenes in his village, but Sturt's reflections deal not only with village life but broader social issues, such as labor, free trade, and spirituality; some entries are Sturt's reactions to books or articles he had recently read. It is not known if the original journals are extant.
|The bulk of the letters series is comprised of Sturt's holograph letters to William W. Kennerley, 1893-1925. In these letters Sturt confides his literary ambitions and describes the everyday activities of his life. Among these letters is Sturt's translation from the Latin of Chapters IX and XIII of Cicero's De Senectute, with notes describing the syntactical difficulties of translation. The same envelope, postmarked 19 February 1893 and addressed to Kennerley, contains Sturt's synopsis of his first published book, the novel A Year's Exile. This is the sole item in the collection representing Sturt's published fiction. Other letters are to Alfred Eggar and Dr. Henry C. Mercer and discuss tools and other implements.

Toyota Tacoma BDS Suspension Lift Kit - Taco Lift For Under $400Posted in How To: Suspension Brakes on January 1, 2010
In this tough economy we've all had to cinch our belt a few notches, but that doesn't mean we should neglect our cherished 4x4s. If you're on a meager budget and looking to increase your truck's off-road capabilities, there are ways to modify it without breaking the bank. Obviously you can't purchase a coilover suspension dirt-cheap, but you can find a budget lift that isn't just a compromise.
Sticking to a tight budget, we recently lifted a '01 Toyota Tacoma that's used for minor trail running and desert exploration. BDS Suspension offers an economical 2-inch lift for the Taco, which consists of front strut spacers and add-a-leaves for the rear leaf springs. We also ordered BDS 5500 shocks (optional) for the rear and splurged on a set of redesigned Yokohama Geolander M/T tires. The suspension kit is straightforward and easy to install. We had our longtime friends at T&J Performance Center in Orange, California, install the kit, and they knocked it out in less than two hours.

Khloe Kardashian is a new mother.
Following days of drama and reports suggesting her boyfriend Tristan Thompson has been cheating on the reality TV star and personality, Kardashian gave birth to a baby girl on Thursday morning at a hospital outside Cleveland, according to TMZ.
The baby news comes after Thompson was booed at a basketball game on Wednesday night, as his team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, took on the New York Knicks.
Videos emerged on Tuesday, which apparently showed the sportsman being unfaithful as recently as last weekend.
Another clip showed Thompson kissing and cuddling two women back in October, when the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star was three months pregnant.
While Khloe and the entire Kardashian clan have maintained a dignified silence amid the scandal, Thompson was forced to step back into the public eye when the Cavaliers played the Knicks at Ohio's Quicken Loans Arena.
When Thompson's face was shown on screen at the game, he was met by a loud chorus of boos from the crowd. He was also booed for a couple of personal fouls late in the game.
One fan in the crowd also showed her support for Kardashian by holding up a sign which read, "We love Khloe."
Meanwhile, one of the women in the video with Thompson back in October, taken in a hookah lounge in Washington, D.C., told TMZ that she had no idea the sportsman was in a relationship with Kardashian -- or that the reality star was pregnant -- when she hooked up with the embattled sportsman.
The woman, called Marie, claims she was given the impression Thompson's relationship with Kardashian was casual and, when she found out the truth of the matter, called time on her fling with the basketball player.
At the weekend, Thompson was caught taking another woman back to his New York hotel.
Kardashian revealed the sex of her baby on the season finale of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and reports suggest her sisters and mother Kris Jenner were by her side as she gave birth on Thursday.

Bianchi have been selling 29in-wheeled hardtails for four years, having first experimented with big wheels on mountain bikes way back in 1990. Now that 29ers are really gaining a footing, the Italian company have launched big-wheeled versions of their Methanol SL cross-country race bike and mid-range Jab. The development of these bikes has also resulted in tweaks to some of the rest of their hardtail range.
Methanol 29SL and Jab 29
As you'd expect, the carbon fibre Methanol SL is packed with all of Bianchi's best tricks for maximum performance, including Triple Wall Tubes (an extra carbon wall down the centre of the top and down tubes), Embedded Reinforcement Construction (the large ridges wrapping around the head tube) and the rather more self-explanatory Shock Absorbing Seatstays.
There are also a number of new design features that are debuting on this bike: asymmetric chainstays that shorten the rear triangle and allow greater chainring clearance; fully moulded carbon fibre dropouts, post-mount brake tabs and cable guides; a 1-1/8 to 1-1/2in tapered head tube; and Ti-NET titanium mesh down tube protection that's built into the frame rather than stuck on afterwards.
The 2012 Methanol 29 SL and SL2 both get Bianchi's new Ti-Net titanium mesh down tube protection
Bianchi admit the latter is a design flourish as much as a practical safeguard, and that a plastic guard would do the job equally well, "but it's not so nice to see". No weight was given for the Methanol 29 SL frame at Bianchi's 2012 launch in Bergamont, Italy this week.
The new Jab 29 has geometry specifically developed for 29in wheels but is otherwise the same as the existing 26in bike, with a hydroformed 7005 aluminium frame with post-mount brake tabs.
Other updates
The Methanol SL2 and SX2 hardtails both gain the huge tapered and reinforced head tubes, full-carbon dropouts and post-mounts, and the carbon cable hangers that were developed for the new 29ers. The SL2 also gets the Ti-Net down tube protector.
Even the cable hangers are carbon on the new Methanol SL2, SX2 and 29 SL

Knot List: Square Knot (Reef Knot) ‐ Step-by-Step
Home Page References Press Reviews Testimonials F.A.Q. Thanks Grog Story
Terminology Safety Rope Properties Which Rope Essential Knots About Contact Knot Store
Speed LoopMirror Flip
Use Arrow Keys
Square Knot (Reef Knot) TyingTake two ropes and cross them (red over blue) to form a half knot. Cross them a second time (red over blue again) and pull the ends tight to form the Square Knot.
Square Knot (Reef Knot) Details
First Knot: The Square (Reef) Knot (ABOK # 1402, p 258) is usually learned when we tie the laces on our first pair of shoes. Admittedly it is usually a bow that we tie - but the underlying knot is a Square (Reef) Knot. We also learn just how unsatisfactory the knot is. It slips, it comes undone, it jams, and it is all too easy to tie a Granny instead which behaves even less well.
Purpose: It is intended to be a binding knot and, tied in the right material against a curved surface, the first Half Knot may bind – but it cannot be trusted. That is why surgeons use an extra turn in the first Half Knot – to achieve the binding required while they prepare the second Half Knot.
Caution: This picture demonstrates how even a "Stack" of Square Knots can capsize and pull undone. These photographs were created by pulling on the ends of the red rope. "There have probably been more lives lost as a result of using a Square Knot as a bend (to tie two ropes together) than from the failure of any other half dozen knots combined." (ABOK page 258). Never use it for critical loads.
Uses: Nevertheless, the Square (Reef) knot has many uses but not where safety is critical, e.g., you can tie a sail cover over a sail; you can tie the string on a gift; and you can tie the laces on your shoes (if they still come with laces). It is also one of the many knots used in macrame. More importantly, the experience of tying a Square Knot teaches the fundamental process of tying a Half Knot or Half Hitch.
Variations: The final Frames of the Animation show several variations: the Granny is shown because it is so commonly tied in error; the Double Throw Knot or Surgical Knot is very commonly used by Surgeons as the first part of a Ligature; and the Thief Knot is included for interest as the final frame, even though it is a useless knot. When the Square (Reef) Knot is used it is common to add additional Half Knots as security - a tribute to how unsatisfactory a knot it is. A better alternative may be to use two Surgeon's Half Knots, which make better binding knots for each stage and a secure final knot. When the second Half Surgeon's Knots is tied as a bow, it makes a Secure Shoelace Bow.
The Square (Reef) knot can also be tied using bights (loops). For example, to use up long shoelaces, the knot can be tied with loops from the start. This means the final "bow" cannot be untied by pulling the ends - but it makes a secure knot.
Disclaimer: Any activity that involves ropes is potentially hazardous. Lives may be at risk - possibly your own. Considerable attention and effort have been made to ensure that these descriptions are accurate. However, many critical factors cannot be controlled, including: the choice of materials; the age, size, and condition of ropes; and the accuracy with which these descriptions have been followed.

Sunderland striker Danny Graham concedes form has not been good enough
Sunderland striker Danny Graham has admitted he has not been good enough since his arrival in January from Swansea.
By Pete O'Rourke - Follow me: @skysportspeteo
Last Updated: 25/04/13 10:04am
Graham has failed to score for Sunderland in nine games after becoming former manager Martin O'Neill's final signing at the Stadium of Light.
The 27-year-old has impressed in Sunderland's two victories against Newcastle and Everton and he is keen to build on those performances for the rest of the campaign.
"I will hold my hands up, in my first few games, my performances were not too good," Graham told the Sunderland Echo.
"However, I have set my standard now and hopefully I can maintain that."
Graham is confident he can fill the void left by Steven Fletcher's injury and score the goals to fire Sunderland to safety.
"It is unfortunate Steven got injured," added Graham.
"He has been a vital part of the club this season and scored 11 goals. It was a massive blow to the team.
"However, that gives opportunities to other people and you have to take them."

PK: If i'm sitting in your spot, I'm thinking it's like moving up and you saw Harvin as the best receiver and you had to move up to get him. I look at it like a bargain for you.
PC: We looked at it like that. We looked at what would be available and thought Harvin was the top tier player. He's gonna be one of the guy who will be making plays and all. We know he can play, we thought he was a terrific player and we wanted to get an impact player in the first.
TR: Clearly he would be more expensive than any player you can draft but I think he's worth it. It's been reported that a deal is in place?
PC: That has been announced and is done. It's sounds official and he is already here with us.
TR: Talk about defending him, the challenge defenses face when defending a guy like him.
PC: One of our put out transcripts and I was raving about trying to stop him. He gets the ball so many ways and he is such a dangerous runner after the catch. They got it to him in a multitude of ways and one of the great things is that Bevell coached him into the league and respects the hell out of him. We're going to fit him and we have a really nice group with Sidney Rice, Golden Tate and Doug Baldwin. He does have some qualities - he carries the ball out of the backfield like a tailback and
PK: Speculation people may be let go for salary, ripple effect.
PC: He's not taking anybody's spot, we're just adding guys in to get as many good players. We love what golden and sydney are doing for us, and those will be our top 4 and that is good news for us.
TR: Chris Clemon's injury?
PC: I haven't seen him, he's going to be in here this week. His rehab is supposedly going tremendously, but we'll count on Chris playing for certain next season. You can't have enough pass rushers and we are always looking to heat it up. Irvin improved a great deal this year but he is going to get a lot better, and Clem is trying to get back in action. We are kicking tires and trying to see who is out there.
TR: Ripple effect of harvin trade - Leon released? Is that hard from a personal standpoint?
PC: That is always a hard part of it. We're hoping for Leon and we would love to have him play, but this is a move we had to make because of the contracts and business side. This was a tough call we had to make and I love that kid.
PK: When do you turn your interest to the draft? Are you done with the FA thing or will you stick with it for a few weeks? What do you do with your time in the personnel time?
PC: This phone call took me out of a meeting talking about 6 players, and we're not done with FA at all. There may be some opportunities to get a couple guys in here who can help us and we're never gonna stop battling. John did a great job with Harvin, and we're trying to keep it going. I'll jump right back in and will be talking with the next position group right now.
TR: St. Louis may be signing Jake Long, Boldin with 49ers, West is unbelievable divison.
PC: Anquan is a great player, everybody is jacked up in this division . last year we established ourselves as one of the tough divisions and we're gonna battle it out next year.
PK: Thanks for joining us Pete, you might as well get back in there and not waste any time.

and members of the Paraguay and Trinidad & Tobago contingents had plenty to say about him, his brilliant right foot is responsible for the goals that undid both teams and sent England into the round of 16. Bringing on young Aaron Lennon at right-wing (along with Wayne Rooney, of course) and moving Beckham to a nominal right-back position freed him to orchestrate the attack from a deeper, less harried position and led directly to the goal that sank T&T. Previously, his great delivery on a set piece produced the own-goal that sank Paraguay.
Next up is Sweden. A win or a draw would give England first place in their group. Speaking of Sweden, I noticed that they are starting two ex-Evertonians that I failed to include on my list. They are Toby Linderoth and Nic Alexandersson, both of whom were quite forgetable during their Everton days.

Cesar Santander's hyper-realist paintings of vintage toys, trinkets, and carousels are gleaming and shining works that will make you take a double take to make sure you're not looking at a photograph. Dealing with themes of Nostalgia these exquisitely painted images transport us to a simpler time when toys didn't talk back and were simple images of our favorite cartoons.
"Once I conceive an idea for a painting, I arrange the objects and then use the camera to produce the strongest photographic example of my original idea. Then I paint the photographic image. Superficially, I appear to copy the photograph, but I make many adjustments to the photographic image as I complete the painting. I try to impose my own vision by subtle adjustment of colors, edges and details so that the finished painting is the strongest representation of the original idea."

Gender Diversity: Crosscultural Variations
Waveland Press, 2000 - Social Science - 127 pages
How can we gain new understandings about sex, gender, and sexuality? What are the relationships between culture and gender diversity? How has the diffusion of Euro-American culture affected the sex/gender ideologies of non-European cultures? This eye-opening account of the differences in how sex/gender diversity is experienced in seven cultures raises our consciousness and challenges our intellectual understandings and attitudes about what we consider natural, normal, and morally right. Nanda s examples, which reveal the complexity of social responses toward sex/gender diversity, are ethnographically well documented and represent various geographical areas and sex/gender ideologies. In classic anthropological fashion, Nanda s text enables us to cross the barriers of cultural difference to a recognition of a greater shared humanity.

About Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue
About Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue
Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue Facts
With it's iconic rooster emblem, Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue is one of the most recognizable and revered producers of the Cote de Nuits. Much of this has to do with the estate owning nearly three-quarters of the grand cru Musigny, considered by some to be the finest Pinot Noir vineyard in the world.
Varietals Produced at Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue
Founded in 1450, Comte Georges de Vogue managed to gain early stakes in some of Burgundy's most exceptional vineyards. The Domaine currently holds 12.52 hectares including 7.12 hectares of the Grand Cru Musigny, 2.6 hectares of the Grand Cru Bonnes Mares, as well as parcels of Premier Cru Les Amoureuses, Premiers Crus Les Fuées and Premiers Crus Les Baudes. The Domaine is in its 20th generation in the same family and is currently run by Claire de Causans and Marie de Ladoucette, granddaughters of Comte Georges de Vogue.
Popular Domaine Comte Georges de Vogue Vintages
Together with winemaker François Millet and vineyard manager Eric Bourgogne, they strive for balance in the vineyards and cellar; modern and traditional techniques are employed (though naturalistic approaches in the vineyard are emphasized) and stylistic variances adopted according to the characteristics of vineyard, vintage, and varietal. Millet does however go easy on the new oak in the Domaine's Grand Crus. In general though, the wines are powerful, dense, rich and expensive, requiring extensive cellaring to display their inherent complexity. If there's a value here, it's the Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru, made from vines younger than 25 years that the estate chooses to declassify within its Grand Cru Musigny holdings.

Notre Dame and Rutgers square off in the Pinstripe Bowl at the New Yankee Stadium. You can almost taste the tradition.
We've had some pretty great moments in the first half, like when the referee completely ate it while watching Brandon Coleman haul in a deep pass.
Alas, Coleman did not fare quite as well later in the game, as he had a pass bounce off his hands and pop up in the air as he looked around in vain, before Notre Dame's Kendall Moore made a diving play for it.
And then there was a terrible gadget play with running back Justin Goodwin attempting a pass that Coleman never had a chance on that was intercepted.
Pinstripe Bowl! Catch the fever.

For programmers of a certain age - those who saw their first internet connection in the 90s - MUDs [Multi User Dungeons - basically D&D online] were de rigueur. Open Source was in its infancy and this new thing called linux came on a stack of 35 3.5" floppy disks (configuration was equally hostile). So if you wanted to contribute to a collaborative project MUDs were where it was at. A number of python people have outed themselves as [ex?]mudders, including Glyph (Twisted founder, Twisted started as a mudlib), Doug Napoleone (PSF board), Jesse Noller (PSF board), Richard Tew (Stackless Python), Will Kahn-Greene (Miro, and mud client Lyntin), and yours truly (I maintain telnetlib, need I say more?).
Learning is in the doing, so what I got of college was mostly lots of free time to do stuff. I spent maybe 400 hours in four years doing programming for classwork and over 4000 hours writing LPC code for a now defunt MUD* (using /bin/ed - the only supported editor). Writing a mudlib was my "turtles all the way down" moment, when it clicked that user level programs were just programs that were composited from other programs; The trick was that the lower level stuff had an agreed upon naming convention but otherwise wasn't special at all.
I'll admit to being somewhat jealous of the college students of today - it is easy to contribute to projects that actually matter. Being able to rely on ping times being under 500ms is nice too (Europe used to just _go away_, sometimes for days).
I haven't left MUDing completely behind. I still use it to try out new methodologies in coding and just play around in general. Leanlyn (http://bit.ly/leanlyn) is my Lyntin fork that is about 10 years old and will never be finished (or be less than user hostile).
* The dead mud was Ether Realms. I can still be found sometimes at OverDrive (a Lehigh staple) and Three Kingdoms.
** College came with lots and lots of free time. I spent way more than 4000 hours just chasing tail. Imagine me but with shoulder length hair, an eyebrow ring, and a flannel shirt (it was the 90s)

MUD Nostalgia
Posted by Jack Diederich at 9:27 PM
2 comments:
I was never as into MUDs as MUSHes and MUCKs... Evelyn and I met on a MUSH, in fact, back in the early '90s. I always found programming for them to be painful, but to each their own...

The Breakfast Briefing
It's pronounced "DI-cell-bloom."
You might want to start practicing.
Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the recently minted head of the Eurogroup, sent markets into a spin yesterday with his comments—and later retraction of said comments—on the Cyprus bailout.
Mr. Dijsselbloem is stepping right into the shoes of his predecessor, Jean-Claude Juncker, who became very well-known to traders globally for his uncanny ability to move markets by several percentage points simply by opening his mouth. With Mr. Dijsselbloem settling into the role nicely, we thought it prudent to figure out the intricacies of Dutch pronunciation (not to mention spelling).
The Dijssel-Bomb on Monday will go down as the "template" remark. The last thing traders wanted to hear was that the Cyprus bailout will become a template for future restructurings. The deal involved a hefty tax on depositor accounts above €100,000 ($128,000) and, more worrying for investors, an agreement to wipe out the senior bondholders of the Cypriot banks.
While that meant few losses for investors now, the big worry is what happens down the road should Italy and Spain start to stumble.
Mr. Dijsselbloem later attempted to backtrack from his remarks. He said—via Twitter—that Cyprus was a "specific case," for which the current bailout was "tailor made," with "no models or templates used."
By that time, the damage had already been done.
"This was just another swing of the European pendulum," said Marc Chandler, global head of currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman. "Each time unresolved issues flare up, officials put it out and in doing so think they have put the fire out. They have not."
The 48-year-old Mr. Dijsselbloem was elected in January, taking over from Mr. Junkcer, who held the position since 2005.
If it's any consolation to Dijsselbloem, his predecessor will go down in history for a gaffe that was arguably even worse. At the height of the Greek sovereign debt crisis in 2011, Mr. Juncker was asked why he lied about a meeting of top officials to discuss the spiraling Greek debt crisis.
He responded with this questionable quip: "When the going gets tough, you have to lie."
Perhaps the real takeaway is silence is golden—especially when you're a highly placed official of an occasionally shaky currency union in the middle of yet another crisis.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – (Video of Winning Dunk) Tyler Inman of Southwestern Christian (Okla.) was the winner of the inaugural NABC-NAIA Men's Basketball Dunk Contest, presented by Rawlings on Saturday afternoon in Municipal Auditorium. The event was staged in conjunction with the 2014 Buffalo Funds-NAIA Division I Men's Basketball National Championship.
Inman's "winning" dunk was a forward bounce pass he caught while leaping from the free throw line.
"I am really honored to be a part of it," said Inman. "Its' really a fun thing and I hope it sticks around for a long time. I just wanted to go out and see what I can do."
Inman received a perfect score of 50 points in each round, bringing the energetic crowd to its feet on each occasion as well as the other NAIA All-Stars in attendance. Inman bested the 89-point final round total of Mitchell Wiggins, Jr. from Southeastern (Fla.). Both dunkers were judged on two dunks to come from a two-minute span in which they had on the floor, with each attempt being scored by a panel of five judges on a range from eight-to-ten points, resulting in a minimum score of 40 points and a maximum tally of 50 points per dunk.
Inman was the top scorer in the first round, while Wiggins recorded 94 points on his opening two dunks to advance to the final round. The finalists were joined by Jordan Layrock of Lyon (Ark.) and Will Nelson of LSU Shreveport (La.) in the competition.
All four players were nominated by NAIA Division I and Division II institutions and were required to be a senior in eligibility status. Inman, Wiggins and Nelson were all selected by the NAIA-NABC Men's Basketball All-Star Committee, while Layrock was chosen by a fan vote conducted on March 10.
FIRST ROUND (out of possible 100 points)
1) 100 points – Tyler Inman - Southwestern Christian (Okla.)
2) 94 points – Mitchell Wiggins, Jr. - Southeastern (Fla.)
3) 88 points – Jordan Layrock - Lyon (Ark.)
4) 87 points – Will Nelson - LSU Shreveport (La.)
FINAL ROUND (out of possible 100 points)
Champion: 100 points – Tyler Inman - Southwestern Christian (Okla.)
Runner-Up: 89 points – Mitchell Wiggins, Jr. - Southeastern (Fla.)

Computed tomography is an imaging test that uses X-rays and a computer to make detailed images of the body. A CT scan shows details of the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than standard X-rays.
In standard X-rays, a beam of energy is aimed at the body part being studied. A plate behind the body part captures the variations of the energy beam after it passes through skin, bone, muscle, and other tissue. While healthcare providers can get much information from a standard X-ray, it does not give a lot of detail about internal organs and other structures.
In a CT scan, an X-ray beam moves in a circle around the body. This allows many different views of the same organ or structure. The X-ray information is sent to a computer that interprets the X-ray data and displays it in a two-dimensional (2D) form on a monitor.
CT scans may be done with or without "contrast." Contrast refers to a substance taken by mouth or injected into an intravenous (IV) line that causes the particular organ or tissue under study to show up more clearly on the scan.
CT scans of the spine can provide more detailed information about the vertebrae (bones of the spine), the disks between the vertebrae, and other spinal structures and tissues than standard X-rays of the spine. CT scans can give healthcare providers more information related to injuries or diseases of the spine.
A CT scan of the spine may be used to check the spine for a herniated disk, tumors or other lesions, the extent of spinal injuries, structural defects such as spina bifida (a type of congenital defect of the spine), blood vessel malformations, infections, or other conditions. A CT scan may be done when another type of exam, such as an X-ray, MRI, or physical exam, does not provide enough information.
A CT of the spine may also be used to assess the effects of treatment of the spine, such as surgery or other therapy.
There may be other reasons for your healthcare provider to recommend a CT scan of the spine.
You may want to ask your healthcare provider about the amount of radiation used during the CT scan and the risks related to your particular situation. Radiation from CT scans varies, but may be up to 100 times greater than a normal chest X-ray. It is a good idea to keep a record of your radiation exposure, such as previous CT scans and other types of X-rays, so that you can inform your healthcare provider. Risks associated with radiation exposure may be related to the cumulative number of X-ray exams or treatments over a long period.
If you are pregnant or think you may be, tell your healthcare provider. Radiation exposure during pregnancy may lead to birth defects. If it's necessary for you to have a CT of the spine, special precautions will be taken to reduce the radiation exposure to the fetus.
Nursing mothers should discuss with their healthcare provider whether to delay breastfeeding after receiving contrast. There are conflicting recommendations on this topic.
If contrast dye is used, there is a risk for allergic reaction to the dye. Tell your healthcare provider if you are allergic to or sensitive to medicines, contrast, or iodine. Studies show that most people will not have an adverse reaction from contrast dye. But, you will need to let your healthcare provider know if you have ever had a reaction to any contrast dye, or any kidney problems. A seafood allergy is not a contraindication for contrast.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have any kidney problems. In some cases, the contrast dye can cause kidney failure. People with kidney disease are more prone to kidney damage after contrast exposure.
There may be other risks depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider before the test.
CT scans can be done on an outpatient basis or as part of your hospital stay. Steps may vary depending on your condition and your healthcare provider's practices.
Generally, a CT scan of the spine follows this process:
While the CT test itself causes no pain, having to lie still for the length of the test might be uncomfortable, particularly if you've recently been injured or had surgery. The technologist will use all possible comfort measures and complete the test as quickly as possible to minimize any discomfort or pain.
If contrast dye was used, you may be watched for a period for any side effects or reactions to the contrast dye, such as itching, swelling, rash, or trouble breathing. Tell the radiologist or your healthcare provider right away if you notice any of these symptoms.
If you notice any pain, redness, or swelling at the IV site after you go home, tell your healthcare provider as this could be a sign of infection or other type of reaction.
Otherwise, there is no special type of care needed after a CT scan of the spine. You may go back to your usual diet and activities unless your healthcare provider tells you differently.
Your healthcare provider may give you other instructions after the test, depending on your situation.
Before you agree to the test or the procedure make sure you know:

The most extraordinary thing is going on in Bordeaux, the centre of the European wine trade where the latest vintage, 2001, has just been launched to potential buyers and commentators from around the world.
The sale of futures in fine bordeaux wine at this time of year, known as the en primeur campaign in France, has become such an important factor in the economy of Bordeaux that wines are now being groomed especially for this crucial presentation. Samples are taken from barrels just a few months after fermentation, and much more than a year before individual barrels are blended together and bottled, let alone shipped or drunk.
Bordeaux has traditionally produced particularly digestible wines, relatively low in alcohol and high in acidity and tannin that take many years to mature into complex, appetising, suave expressions of their origins. Ascetic Pauillac, harmonious St Julien, scented Margaux, fruity St-Emilions and richly intense Pomerols have all made up the special magic of red bordeaux.
Since the late 1980s a new sort of wine has emerged however, a wine that is deeply coloured, high in alcohol, notably sweet and often smelling of mocha or toasted oak flavours - almost New World in fact. The wines are crafted to grab a hard-worked taster's attention during the en primeur season when those who are really assiduous may well stain their teeth and hands with between 50 and 100 wines a day.
Finishing off the fermentation in barrel is an increasingly popular trick that makes a wine taste smoother in its extreme youth but has no proven ability to improve quality in the long term. Using specially toasted new barrels tends to add sweetness to a wine, even if it may well even mask its natural fruit flavours. Encouraging the extraction of maximum phenolics (colour and tannins) from the wine makes it look deeper than the rest, but too often results in wines that are painfully dry at the end of the tasting experience. Each year, regardless of the vintage conditions, in some camps there seems to be a competition for who can make the best imitation of port from grapes grown in the quite different conditions of Bordeaux.
This style came to prominence in St-Emilion but is spreading to virtually all other subregions of Bordeaux so that the differences between appellations are much less marked than they were.
For me, the ideal red bordeaux is certainly riper than wines made in the 1970s when typical alcohol levels were much closer to 12 or 11 per cent than the 13s and even 14s we are seeing today and wines demanded keeping for longer than seems sensible today. But red bordeaux, made in a temperate maritime climate, should also be subtle - well-balanced without an excess of tannin, overripe flavours or oak - and should express the place that produced it (one of wine's unique attributes, after all).
This year for the first time I sensed genuine widespread exasperation throughout the Bordeaux wine community with the new, pastiche style of winemaking. Longstanding criticism from the grandees of the more traditional Médoc and Graves has been attributed to sour grapes, but now many of those in St-Emilion and Pomerol, even those who flirted with the new techniques themselves, are recanting.
One of the early exponents was the dapper German Stefan von Neipperg (even his black labrador is well dressed). With his Ch Canon La Gaffelière and, especially, his micro-bottling La Mondotte, he pioneered super concentration, low yields and late picking to produce wines that would show well at the all-important en primeur tastings.
Nowadays he repudiates the caricature modern style. 'I don't make plum pudding,' he told me last month, with pursed lips and more than a little satisfaction. And his Ch Canon La Gaffelière 2001 is certainly a model of restraint combined with opulence and a true expression of what St-Emilion specifically has to offer the wine lover. He even nowadays reproaches his own 1989, a wine made when he was more besotted with the new techniques.
Hubert de Boüard of Angélus in St-Emilion also admits that he quite understands the new style because he was initially a practitioner. Nowadays however he is making much more elegant wines that people would actually like to drink at their tables rather than be impressed by in a tasting room.
Even Jean-Luc Thunevin of Valandraud, one of St-Emilion's new wave of wines sculptured from minuscule plots of vineyard to win points, plaudits and huge amounts in francs (now euros) from international collectors, seems to be toning things down.
Chief among the current practitioners of caricature winemaking is Gérard Perse, who has used a supermarket fortune to buy such extensive properties as Chx Pavie, Pavie-Decesse and Monbousquet in St-Emilion and who has just amazed le tout Bordeaux by paying AXA-Millésimes more than 3000 million francs for the tiny Ch Petit Village in Pomerol.
This year he has launched a very limited production (for which read decidedly unlimited pricing) of a St-Emilion he calls Bellevue Mondotte (despite its having nothing at all to do with either Ch Bellevue or La Mondotte) which is surely a joke. How can anyone want to drink a wine that smells so unappetisingly overripe and follows up almost port-like sweetness with a mouth-puckeringly dry finish? The wine assaults rather than assuages the palate.
The big force in all this of course is the extremely powerful (and admirably conscientious) American wine critic Robert Parker whose points out of 100 dictate demand and therefore prices in the international wine market. However much he may write that he values subtlety, he has continued to reward sheer size. And whatever sort of wine individual winemakers may wish to produce, it is the château owners who call the tune. What they tend to seek above all is a high score from Parker and, preferably, the American Wine Spectator magazine. For points out of 100 and subsequent high prices, you cannot beat them.
For points out of 20 and tasting notes on the Bordeaux 2001s, and an attempt to sniff out the most appetising wines, see purple pages.

Clayton Kershaw on Saturday night was trying to become the first Dodgers pitcher to win 12 in a row since Burt Hooton did it in 1975. But Kershaw, who is rapidly gaining support for not only winning the Cy Young Award but the National League MVP award, showed he's human.
Kershaw gave up a two-run home run to Ryan Braun in the fourth inning and a home run to Carlos Gomez in the sixth and that was enough for the Milwaukee Brewers to emerge with a 3-2 victory over the Dodgers before 50,849 at Dodger Stadium.
Kershaw pitched a complete game. He allowed three runs on five hits. He struck out 11 and walked none while throwing 97 pitches. His last loss before Saturday was May 28 against Cincinnati at Dodger Stadium.
Yovani Gallardo (8-6) picked up the victory. He threw eight innings and gave up just one run on six hits. He struck out three and walked one on 96 pitches.
Francisco Rodriguez pitched the ninth for his 38th save, but not before giving up a leadoff home run to Matt Kemp – his 15th.
The first-place Dodgers (70-55) lost a game in the standings and now lead San Francisco by 4 1/2 games in the NL West. They have lost 11 of their past 15 games to Milwaukee at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers are 1-4 against the Brewers this season as they recently lost two of three at Milwaukee.
The first-place Brewers (69-55) picked up a game in the standings and now lead the St. Louis Cardinals by three games in the NL Central.
In his previous start Aug. 10, Kershaw pitched eight innings and gave up just a run in a 5-1 Dodgers victory at Milwaukee.
"Yeah, really good again today, I thought better than the other day in Milwaukee," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said of Kershaw. "Milwaukee was a battle for him. Tonight it seemed cleaner, it seemed easier."
Kershaw was bummed, yet complimentary.
"Yeah, it's a tough game," he said. "It comes down to, I got out-pitched. Yovani pitched better than I did, we lost the game. It was a good game, a clean game. Both guys were pitching all right. I just made more mistakes than he did and it showed up on the scoreboard."
Kershaw was told what Mattingly said about him pitching better than he did in Milwaukee. He agreed.
"Yeah, it's funny," he said. "I felt like I pitched so much better than I did in Milwaukee. But, obviously, the scoreboard said differently. So the stuff was definitely better and the command was better. But that's just the way it goes sometimes.
"The scoreboard doesn't reflect how you feel and I guess I got lucky in Milwaukee, and paying for it here."
Milwaukee went nine up and nine down over the first three innings, but Gomez broke that string with a leadoff double to left off in the fourth inning. Kershaw induced Jonathan Lucroy to ground out to shortstop, which brought Braun to the plate.
With fans chanting "cheater, cheater" as Braun was dueling with Kershaw, Braun got in the last laugh when he hit an opposite-field home run – his 15th – that just got over the fence in right for a 2-0 lead.
"He's the best pitcher in baseball and he's been on an incredibly great run," Braun said of Kershaw, whose ERA rose all the way up to 1.86 from 1.78. "It's extremely difficult to beat him, and it hasn't happened much this year.
"So for us to do that is an impressive accomplishment and something we're proud of. To split those two games he started is encouraging for us."
Braun in late July 2013 was suspended for the rest of that season for violating the league's drug policy.
The Dodgers got one of those runs back in the bottom of the inning when Carl Crawford hit an infield single off Gallardo, stole his 17th base and came home on a single to center by Justin Turner, who was thrown out at second when the throw from the outfield was cut off.
The Brewers got that run back in the top of the sixth, however, when Gomez led off with a long home run deep into the left-field bullpen. It was Gomez's 19th of the season.
"He was mixing, he has that little slider, cutter and slipping a breaking ball in," Turner said of Gallardo. "He had pretty good command, throwing it just off the plate when he wanted to and throwing it for a strike when he needed to get ahead."
Brewers manager Ron Roenicke couldn't say enough about Gallardo. He lowered his ERA from 3.44 to 3.32.
"Yo was just outstanding," Roenicke said. "He had great command and an outstanding fastball. He pitched off the fastball the whole game while mixing in his slider and curveball. He really dominated. That's a good club, and you can't mess around and make mistakes against them."
The teams will complete their series Sunday when Dan Haren (10-9) takes on Wily Peralta (14-7) at 1:10 p.m.

What is the best shape for nanomaterials that move energy in solar cells? When it comes to the semiconductor germanium sulfide, the answer appears to look a lot like a peony. According to new research published in the American Chemical Society's ACS Nano, such "nanoflowers" have the potential to improve solar cells and other technologies.
The key is the surface area of all those petals, which suddenly makes much more of the semiconducting material available to interact with incoming light. To make the flower shape, materials scientist Linyou Cao of North Carolina State University in Raleigh and his colleagues first vaporized a germanium sulfide powder, then blew the resulting vapor to a cooler chamber where it deposited as a thin sheet, less than 30 nanometers wide.
Laying sheet upon sheet in this way allowed the researchers to build this crystalline nano-flower, much as an origami artist might use paper to achieve a similar configuration. Cao likens the result to a marigold or carnation, which suggests that when it comes to a germanium sulfide solar cell, the guide to the proper shape for harvesting sunlight may not be a plant's leaves, but rather its flowers.
