Last week, the Los Angeles Public Safety Committee unanimously passed the Community Care Facilities Ordinance. The proposal, put forth by L.A. City Councilman Mitch Englander (District 12, San Fernando Valley) would severely limit or outright eliminate shared housing in certain areas of Los Angeles. The main focus is on neighborhoods with single-family homes, which are mostly found in suburban areas, many of which are found in Englander's San Fernando Valley district.
The new law would change the city's definition of "boarding house" to include any homes with three or more leases, requiring them to obtain a license, and it would force more oversight on licensed group homes housing seven or more people. Many community groups and neighborhood authorities applaud Englander's measure, as these types of living situations often bring along headaches for the neighbors. But critics feel that the proposal disenfranchises former inmates, those with disabilities, the impoverished and people seeking drug rehabilitation, all of which are groups that live in these shared houses because it's the best they can do given their financial situation. Opponents also cite how Englander is targeting L.A. suburbs in the Valley, but would still allow for these homes in Downtown, South and East Los Angeles, all of which have less single-family homes.
Critics are crying foul, saying that this is classic NIMBY-ism. Furthermore, they have accused Englander of exploiting the recent Northridge shootings which were committed by a former felon who lived in one such boarding house. This proposal has been tabled for five years, but opponents are convinced that Englander is simply stoking fear to get it back on the books. It faces a full council vote in January.
Where do you stand on this issue? Has your community been negatively affected by these types of living conditions? Do you live in shared housing? Who are the major players on both sides?

I thought I wouldn't be able make another post before New Year, but here is another one. A yummy Chicken Biriyani. You can try it for the New Year if you really trust me! Once again, wishing you all a wonderful and prosperous New Year.
I have been getting lot of requests from my readers for Malabar Chicken Biriyani and here is the long waited recipe. Malabar Biriyani is known all over for its heavenly rich taste and its flavourful rice! Among them the most famous ones are the Thalassery Biriyani and Kozhikkodan (Calicut) Biriyani. Well, Even though Thalassery belongs to Kannur, the biriyani preparation is slightly different than Kannur Biriyani, but it can't be beaten in taste and aroma, I bet. This time when I went to India I had Biriyani from different places of Kannur and they tasted almost similar and the method I noticed was also quite similar. The only difference would have been the addition of curd-some adds it and some doesn't and the same with lime juice for masala. After all, they are used to bring in the sourness to the masala, and you can always increase the tomatoes instead. In my recipe, I always add lime and rarely use curd. The recipe I have given here is with the exception of curd. And For rice, some fries it and some don't. If you notice, we don't add pungent spices like chilli powder, Dhanya powder and turmeric powder. The main flavour comes from the ginger, garlic, chillies, tomatoes and onion. To add extra flavour, we finish it up with garam masala. The biriyani usually made is quite rich, lot of ghee is added and it is quite heavy. Here, I have used minimal amount of ghee as possible, so one can have it without much guilt. Well, you may add more ghee or oil if you wish. The recipe serves around 6 - 8 People with condiments side and it is just over a tablespoon of fat per person. How good is that!
For an authentic Malabar Biriyani, the rice that is normally used is known as 'Jeerakashaala' rice which has its own unique flavour and texture. The size of the rice is quite small, probably just half the length of the normal Basmati rice. Since we don't get Jeerakashaala rice here, we always substitute it with Basmati rice. Well, I have never cooked with jeerakashaala rice. I was told by my mom that we don't soak jeerakashaala rice since the biriyani gets mushy when soaked. So if using jeerakashaala rice for this recipe, please follow the ingredients as such, but do not soak the rice.
Malabar biriyanis are always garnished with fried onions, raisins and cashews. It is served along with Raita, a cucumber and yogurt based condiment, else tomato and onion in yogurt, a pickle, vinegary onions and pappadams. Chicken biriyani or mutton biriyani with the above said side dishes and chicken fries is the speciality of the Muslim weddings back in Malabar. It is always served after the starter 'Alisa', which is a porridge like stuff mainly made of wheat and meat and is served by sprinkling sugar on top! Yum..
Here is the recipe of Muslim style Malabar Chicken Biriyani.
Malabar Chicken Biriyani ( Serves 6-8)
For Ghee rice:
4 cups (800 g) Basmati rice
6 cups water
¾ cup onion sliced (1 medium size onion)
¾ - 1 Tbsp cumin seeds
7 cardamom pods
8 cloves
2 1" size pieces of cinnamon sticks
1 bay leaves
9 Tbsp clarified butter (Ghee), (I used 7 Tbs vegetable oil and 2 Tbs ghee)
1 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp lime juice
1 twig curry leaves
For Biryani masala:
1 kg of large chicken pieces, preferably thighs, legs and breast
500g (4 ½ cups, 4-5 medium onions) thinly sliced onion
15 large cloves(4 packed Tbs) freshly minced garlic
65g (2 ½" thick piece) freshly minced ginger
330g (2 cups packed, 4 large) chopped tomatoes
20 (5 tsp) minced Green chillies (reduce if you want it less hot), you may use just 12-15 of them
½ cup Chopped Coriander leaves
10-12 fresh mint leaves chopped
22 mls (1 ½ Tbsp) freshly squeezed lime juice
½ tsp garam masala + 1 tsp extra to sprinkle on rice while layering.
4 tsp Oil (you may add more if needed)
3 cardamoms
8 cloves
4 small pieces of cinnamon sticks (1" size, thin ones)
1 ½tsp - 1 ¾ tsp Salt
For garnishing:
2 handful cashews
2 handful raisins
2 medium onions sliced thin
Few drops of yellow or orange food colouring or both (opional)
Step by step guide to prepare Dum Biryani:
Method to prepare Biryani masala:
1. Wash chicken well, place it on a colander to drain off all water.
2. Heat a large vessel to medium low and add oil. When hot, throw in the whole spices. When they leave the aroma (takes upto a minute on low heat) sauté chopped ginger, garlic, chillies and onions along with salt until the onions become soft and translucent.
3. At this point, add chopped tomatoes. When the tomatoes start to soften ad breakdown almost completely, add chicken and cook until almost done. All this should be done on a low heat so that onion releases its juice and chicken gets cooked in that juice slowly.
6. Add lime juice, chopped coriander and mint leaves and cook the chicken until done. Add garam masala and close lid to infuse in the flavour.
If there is lot of liquid, boil it off and reduce to a thick masala. If there is lot of water, the rice may end up overcooked.
Method to prepare Ghee rice and Garnishing:
1. Wash rice several times until you g et clear water to drain. Soak the rice for half an hour.
2. For preparing the garnish, in a large non-stick vessel, add oil + ghee or only ghee as mentioned in the recipe and fry the cashews until golden. Remove them and drain on a kitchen towel. In the same oil fry the raisins until they puff up and keep them along with cashews. Fry the onion until just golden and keep them with the former. The onion will get coloured (will continue to cook even after you take them out, so don't fry until brown).
3. For preparing the ghee rice, In the same vessel, add ¾ cup slice onion and sauté till the onion turn soft and translucent. (don't brown them, that will effect the colour of the rice.). At this stage add cardamom, cloves, bay leaves, cinnamon and cumin seeds and sauté for a minute until it leaves the aroma.
4. Strain the rice and tip in the rice slowly and fry for 5 minutes on high heat by constant stirring.
5. Add boiling water, salt, curry leaves and lime juice and keep boiling, by keeping the lid open until all the water has disappeared, but the rice is still wet and not dry.
6. Reduce the flame to low, Cover tightly to let all the steam in and cook it until done. In between you can flip the rice two times to ensure even cooking.
If you follow the method of preparing therice you should get well fluffed individual rice that doesn't stick to each other.
For layering the biryani and final cooking:
1. Using a large plate, take out 2/3 rd of the rice from the vessel and transfer it to another bowl. Leave the rest 1/3 of the rice in the vessel and level off the surface neatly using a spatula. Sprinkle a good pinch of garam masala (from the garam masala that is reserved for sprinkling) all over. If you are adding colour, add few drops of yellow or orange food colouring in 4-5 places.
2. Take half of the masala and sprinkle over the rice along with the chicken.
3. Spoon 1/3 rd of the rice again over the chicken masala. Sprinkle a good pinch of garam masala, and few drops of colouring.
4. Add the rest half of the masala and complete the layering by spooning the last 1/3 of the rice. Sprinkle again with garam masala, and few drops of colouring.
So now you have alternating layers of rice and masala that's goes like this: Rice, Biryani masala, rice, Biryani masala and again rice.
5. Cover the entire vessel with foil (to ensure that full steam stays in), then close the lid tightly. Place a weight (you can also use any vessel filled with water for this) over this vessels and cook on hob top for about 30 minutes at very low heat. This is to infuse the flavour of the biryani masala into the rice and this process of cooking is called 'Dum'. To know if it is done, lift the lid and you should be able to see steam coming from the top part of rice. (Don't expect smoke, it will be just a light streak of steam from here and there) and the rice on the top will be slightly curvy!!
6. You can also do the layering in an ovenproof vessel and place it in a preheated oven at a very low temperature for about 20-30 minutes for the final cooking. I never tried this, but my friends do it this way.
Just before serving, garnish with fried onions, cashews and raisins.
1.You can also sprinkle little of the fried onions while layering and leave the rest for garnishing. You may sprinkle it along with garam masala. This helps to bring out the flavour of fried onions into the rice. And it is real good too.

White Papers and Application Notes
Optimizing Performance of Equipment for Thermostimulation of Muscle Tissue using COMSOL MultiphysicsJ. Kocbach[1], K. Folgerø[1], L. Mohn[2], O. Brix[3]
[1]Christian Michelsen Research, Bergen, Norway
[2]Luzmon Norway, Bergen, Norway
[3]Michelsen Medical, Bergen, Norway
The design challenge for thermostimulation equipment is to get a combination of high electric field strength and high temperature within the muscle tissue without causing pain or skin burns. In the present work, COMSOL Multiphysics is used to simulate the temperature distribution and electric field distribution within body tissue for varying body composition and varying design parameters of the thermostimulation equipment. COMSOL LiveLink™ for MATLAB® is used in order to do script based parametric analysis, sensitivity analysis and iterative optimization from MATLAB®. The present work has shown how the multiphysics approach gives information regarding design choices for thermostimulation equipment, and relative effectiveness of thermostimulation equipment for patients with different body composition.

Thin section tapered roller and angular contact ball bearings
Cost-saving solutions for heavy duty hub bearings
Inside wheels, hub bearings carry the weight of the vehicle. They enable wheel rotation and, if necessary, torque transmission to the wheel. It's quite a heavy load, in more ways than one. Thin section bearings from SKF can help.
Thin section tapered roller bearing for wheel drive units (such as wheel loaders) and the thin section angular contact ball bearing for crawler drive units (such as excavators) offer high power density. Their high stiffness and high shock load capability reduce the downtime of the machine, which leads to higher productivity.
The thin section tapered roller bearing has a space-saving design that enables compact (design) solutions. Depending on the type of machine, both the thin section tapered roller bearing and thin section angular contact ball bearing facilitate cost-saving solutions.

The debate over minimum wage is again at the forefront of our newspaper stories. On one side you have the claim that minimum wage is an entry level wage. On the other side, you have minimum wage as a living wage.
To the editor:
The debate over minimum wage is again at the forefront of our newspaper stories. On one side you have the claim that minimum wage is an entry level wage. On the other side, you have minimum wage as a living wage.
At the time of enactment, the framers of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 may have envisioned the minimum wage to be a living wage. Over time, that vision has eroded because of the very nature of a minimum wage. Minimum wage is an arbitrary wage set by government. The arbitrary minimum wage is being used today for those entry-level jobs that require minimal education (high school), no technical skills other than those learned on the job and a no-experience requirement. What is required for the entry level job is one�s ability to learn, show initiative and follow instructions.
The minimum wage is not a fair wage. To be a fair wage, the wage must be established by the laws of the free market. In a free market, wages are set by supply and demand. As the supply of workers increases, wages go down. As the demand for workers increase, wages increase. An arbitrary minimum wage interferes with the free market principles of supply and demand.
Minimum wage is neither a lifetime wage nor the result of a life of work. To be a lifetime or life-results wage an individual�s education, technical skills, experience as well as one�s ability to apply these to the working environment must be taken into consideration. If we follow the concept that minimum wage is a living wage, these would become irrelevant to the establishment of a wage because the minimum wage already compensates for these items.
The real problem is that a living wage is different for each individual and each family. A living wage is determined by how the individual or the family manages the income that they receive. For many, a living wage is the minimum wage at any level. For others, because of their inability to manage what they receive, no amount can be considered a living wage. A living wage is an amount that can only be defined by the individual � not the government.
A simple look at the supply, price and demand curves of economics will inform you that as prices (wages) increase demand decreases. To put it in a different light, as the minimum wage increases the number of jobs decreases. Study after study has proven that with every increase in the minimum wage, there has been an offsetting decrease in the number of available jobs. We must face economic reality with the minimum wage; we lose jobs as it increases.

Ballinamallard United 1 Cliftonville 2
Cliftonville collected a welcome three points against a 10-man Ballinamallard side on Saturday.
They made hard work of the win with the home side missing a penalty in the 78th minute.
It was the harsh sending off of Ballinamallard's Liam Flatley which changed the game on just 26 minutes.
Six minutes later the Reds took the lead when a through ball found Darren Murray, who looked suspiciously offside, but the big strike raced on through to shoot past keeper James McGrath.
Ballinamallard fought back to level on the 46th minute when a corner was floated into the visitors box. Keeper Jason Mooney came to catch, but dropped the ball at the feet of Adam Lecky who made no mistake from 10 yards.
In the second half Cliftonville got what proved to be the winner on the 64th minute.
A ball down the right found substitute Chris Curran and his excellent cross, his first tough of the game, was stabbed home by the outstretched foot of defender Ryan McConnell.
In the 78th minute the Ferney Park side was awarded a penalty when Lecky was adjudged to have been fouled, but McCartney's spot kick went wide of the post.
Cliftonville mangager Gerard Lyttle said,I think overall we deserved the three points. We didn't play as well as we can. It was nerve wrecking at the end. It's good to get a win under our belt."
Ballinamallard manager Gavin Dykes was furious at the red card decision saying, "It was never a red card. The referee got it wrong. It changed the whole game."
Ballinamallard: McGrath, Currie, McConnell (Morris 70), Taheny, Lecky, McCabe (Mayse 79), McGinty, McKenna, McMenamin, Flatley, McCartney (Armstrong 81)
Subs: McCusker, Mayse, Morris, Armstrong, Elliott

Beekeeper and human capital consultant Michael O'Malley has written up a great analogy about risk management and bees in a brilliant column at Harvard Business Review.Honeybees will never be too big to fail because they have a built-in failsafe to prevent that from ever happening. When a hive gets too large, it becomes very inefficient, and some bees split off to form another colony.
Thus, the risk is dispersed. There is never a "super-hive" which could potentially doom all the bees if there's a disaster.
Within the hives, the bees have three risk mitigation strategies that can be applied to organisations, according to O'Malley:
Decision-making is decentralized — Each bee makes its own decisions based on what it sees around it, so it's impossible for one authoritative bee to burn everything to the ground. Bees also communicate constantly so that each bee has good information to work with.
Hives are diverse — Bees assemble many options before making a big decision, and then vote independently. The more diversity in the bees' DNA, the larger the range of options the bees will come up with, since they're sensitive to different conditions.
Bees always consider the worst-case scenario — Failure is bound to happen, but they go for the "least bad" mistake whenever it's available. Small errors are better than one massive error, and bees are sure to protect themselves against the big mistake.

The main reason is that Mars is a very unhealthy place, not just for humans but for all life. Forget the temperature extremes. The biggest problem with Mars for maintaining life is that it has almost no protection against radiation. It has no iron core like Earth and thus it does not have the magnetic field that protects humans from cosmic rays and solar mass ejections.
Read this article for more information.
Six feet of soil can shield against cosmic rays as can a few centimeters of water. Since hauling water to Mars hardly seems practical, unless an ample water supply is found on Mars, the "explorers" will have to be satisfied with living and exploring under the surface.
Also, the human body is so adapted to our level of gravity that almost absent gravity (as in the space station) damages bone density. In a large space craft that rotates, you can use centrifugal force to simulate gravity, but how do you do that on the surface of Mars? Not exactly a vacation and no place anyone would want to live for long.
Terraforming isn't practical unless there's a way to give the planet a magnetic field. Otherwise, the atmosphere will simply be lost to space.
What do you think?

Should my wife write a letter to NASA asking if they need someone to photoshop out the 'Mars' weeds, jack rabbits, and contrails? There is a distinct feeling that a future in state propaganda could be a growth industry...LOL
RE: "We have no need to have humans go to mars."
Humans, no, but can't we send Unseen?
In the movie 'Contact', one character tries to make the case that the '..best astronomers would be vampires!' Surely there must be folks that would see a permanent post on Mars as a great improvement over our common fair of crime, wars, politics, movie remakes, and 'reality shows'.
If it were not such a terrible investment to get there, I would pay $1.00 to see some CEO's abandoned on such a quiet piece of real estate. I think I can see the closing credits as the small speck of Earth, sets on the Mars horizon, and the line of sight microwave transmission signs off, to be replaced with white noise from the solar wind.
Oh dude I figured this one out a while ago, this is on my mad scientist to do list. The earth's core is able to produce the protective electromagnetic field partly because of the significant amount of friction caused by our relatively big moon's gravity. Mars' core on the other hand did not have the benefit of one big moon, so that and its low mass led to the cooling of it's core, the weakening of it's electromagnetic field, and the eradication of its atmosphere. What if we someday developed the technology to give Mars a big moon, maybe move Ceres into orbit around it, slowly add the entire masses of Mars' other two small moons to Ceres, and as a bonus water ice on Ceres could be shipped to the Martian surface to be used by colonists on the planet with a magnetic field and atmosphere!!! As for long term settlements, we could engineer people and biospheres adapted for life on Mars. It won't be in my lifetime, but it could happen.
Why wait? Maybe we could just capture Darth Vader's Death Star in a tractor beam to bring it to Mars. Assuming Scotty couldn't beam it from wherever it is to Mars, of course.
If our history has shown us anything we humans are not content in staying put for very long. I think we will be in space sooner rather than later.

OCEAN CITY — Ocean City's growing artificial reef system continues to gain momentum with new material dropped offshore last weekend.
The Ocean City Reef Foundation is amidst one of its most prolific times in recent memory with another deposit of concrete pipes and specially designed concrete reef blocks sunk off the coast last weekend. For about 16 years, the Ocean City Reef Foundation has been steadily expanding the artificial reef system off the coast with eight sites ranging from as close to shore as one mile to as far away as 20 miles.
The latest batch of over 150 reef building blocks went down over the Jimmy Jackson Memorial Reef about 10 miles off the coast last Sunday.
Another relatively new site is the "Ake Reef" about five miles off the coast just southeast of the Inlet. The Ake Reef, named for the late Doug Ake who passed away this spring, got its most significant addition over the winter when a 50-foot retired Baltimore water taxi was sunk over the site. Since then, the Ake Reef, like the Jackson Reef, has been the beneficiary of tons of material.
"We slipped out on Sunday with 156 blocks to drop on Jimmy's Reef," said the Reef Foundation's Captain Monty Hawkins of the Morning Star this week. "That reef and Ake's Reef are our main focus right now. The guys have gotten out with a barge load of concrete pipes twice in the last three weeks."
During the last 16 years, the Ocean City Reef Foundation has submerged tons of material, from old boats to retired military equipment to discarded construction materials, to create a vast artificial reef network off the coast. The artificial reefs have enhanced habitat for fish and other sea creatures, which has, in turn, improved offshore fishing for recreational anglers and created new opportunities for diving enthusiasts.
However, everything the Ocean City Reef Foundation has accomplished has been done with private donations and fundraising. When Maryland terminated its reef program in 1997, the town of Ocean City assumed responsibility for the permits needed for reef construction with the caveat no public funds would be used.
To that end, the foundation will hold its annual fundraising dinner at Hall's Restaurant on May 15 from 5-7 p.m. The event features an all-you-can-eat Italian dinner, sponsored by Hall's, along with ham and beef carving stations provided by Anthony's and will also include silent, live and Chinese auctions. For more information, call 410-208-0064.

Women can now serve on the front lines and on the nation's newest attack submarines.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced today he is lifting the ban on female service members in combat roles. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus then announced women will be able to serve on Virginia-class submarines.
The policy change for the submarine force opens up one of the few areas currently not available to women, Mabus said.
Newly commissioned female officers have already been selected, Mabus said, and they will begin reporting to attack submarines in fiscal year 2015. As the next step, enlisted women will soon be considered for sub duty, he added.
"The Navy has a long history of inclusion and integration, and I am proud we have achieved another important milestone during my tenure as secretary," he said.
The Navy lifted its ban on women serving aboard submarines in 2010 and started assigning female officers first to the larger, ballistic-missile and guided-missile submarines. Mabus has said ever since then that women would serve on the smaller Virginia-class submarines because there should be no limits on their Navy careers.
The women who have been selected will start training this year. The training includes the 10-week officer basic course in Groton.
The Naval Submarine Base in Groton is the homeport to attack submarines only.
When Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert, the chief of naval operations, visited Groton last summer, he said the Navy's plans to continue bringing women aboard submarines were going very well so far and "now we're ready to move to the Virginia class."
Panetta's decision to eliminate the 1994 rule that bans women from serving in combat means that many other military jobs are now open to women. Women who serve in the Connecticut National Guard will be able to one day join the state's infantry battalion, the 102nd Infantry Regiment in New Haven.
Connecticut Guard units are categorized as either combat, combat support or combat service support. The 102nd Infantry is the only unit considered combat, said Col. John Whitford, spokesman for the Connecticut National Guard.
Whitford said he was waiting for more details from the defense department on when the make up of the battalion could change. The Pentagon is planning a phased-in approach that will take three years to fully implement.
Currently 600 men serve in the battalion. The unit deployed to Afghanistan in 2009 and is not scheduled for another deployment, Whitford said.

|AudioControl is a great distributer selling different devices including computer equipment. We know of 5 free pdf files related to this manufacturer .
The Portable Document Format (PDF) has the extension name .pdf, and it is a creation of the Adobe Systems, an international software company that has Photoshop, Acrobat, and Reader as some of its widely known products. There are several advantages of having documents in this type of file.
1. It is not limited to a single viewer.
It turns out to be a real dilemma when several virtual papers become unreadable after creating them in one processor but opening them in another, especially if they can make or break your scholastic or business career. What is tricky with these files is that they have gotten saved in a format that is not supported by various platforms or operating systems, and so the real tendency is for them to remain undecipherable for a particular reader.
In case you wish to skip having such an issue, though, the best option is to save in PDF, as it does not restrict itself from being opened solely by an Adobe merchandise. As long as the software supports this format, regardless of the manufacturer (the same work works AudioControl pdf brand guides), it can read the file(s) without a hitch. Nevertheless, the PDF viewers that are worth recommending include Foxit Reader, Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, Nitro PDF Reader, etc.
2. It preserves the integrity of the content.
When a document with the extension .doc or .docx opens on a different computer or word processor, the information that has primarily been typed there may already be changed or tampered when the individual closes it. This bit boils down to the fact that such formats are incapable of protecting their contents from possible alterations.
However, a manuscript with .pdf after its name gets to keep every significant portion of the presentation from the font style down to the font size, style, and spacing. If someone wants to modify something on it, they can highlight the text or add a note near it, but they cannot directly type the changes in the document.
3. It is accessible for all.
Word processing platforms give the user a choice to save the file in different formats, and PDF is one of them. It entails you do not even have to save it in .doc before converting it to .pdf. It lets you utilize your time on other things.

Ben Affleck didn't say no when asked if he might run for John Kerry's U.S. Senate seat if Kerry steps down to become Secretary of State.
In Washington, D.C,. to testify before Congress about the humanitarian crisis in the Congo, the "Argo" director and star was interviewed by Bob Schieffer on "Face the Nation." The show will air Sunday.
Schieffer asked Affleck if he'd ever go after a Senate seat.
"For one thing, the state of Massachusetts currently has two extraordinary senators, so there is no vacancy," Affleck replied..
"There could be," Schieffer pointed out.
"Well, one never knows," Affleck said. "I'm not one to get into conjecture. I have a great fondness and admiration for the political process in this country. It's a big deal for me to come down here and be on your show, but I'm not going to get into speculation about my political future."
I can't believe Schieffer didn't ask Affleck about J-Lo. And he calls himself a journalist.
"Right now," Affleck said, "I'm really happy being involved from the outside in government, advocating for the Congolese, taking this movie that I made, 'Argo,' that's really become a springboard for dialogue about our relationship with Iran, which, as Hillary Clinton said, is the most pressing foreign policy issue today, so, I got a lot on my plate."
"Argo" is nominated for two Screen Actors Guild Awards and five Golden Globes, including best director for Affleck. Many believe "Argo" will get serious consideration for a Best Picture Oscar as well.

Google Gets Going With Go
Mar 30, 2012 5:00 AM PT
Google has rolled out version 1 of its experimental open source Go computer programing language, 14 months after it first announced the language back in 2009.
Go "is an attempt to combine the ease of programming of an interpreted, dynamically typed language with the efficiency and safety of a statically typed, compiled language," Go team lead Rob Pike told TechNewsWorld.
"It also aims to be modern, with support for networked and multi-core computing," Pike continued. "Finally, it is intended to be fast; it should take at most a few seconds to build a large executable on a single computer."
Go "tries to solve concurrency issues, and that's where it's going to have the most impact when you're programming the GPUs and the new parallel processors that are proliferating," said Al Hilwa, a program director at IDC.
"We now have hardware that's cheap and widely available to deal with parallel steps and have a lot of cores and GPUs, and to harness those we need a new language and way of thinking," Hilwa told TechNewsWorld.
Google has also released a new Google App Engine software development kit (SDK) for the Go runtime.
Some Snippets About Go 1
Go's basic syntax comes from the C family, with lots of declarations and packages from the Pascal/Modula/Oberon family, as well as some ideas from languages such as Newsqueak and Limbo, which were inspired by Tony Hoare's CSP.
CSP, or Communicating Sequential Processes, is a formal language for describing patterns of interaction in concurrent systems.
Go 1 defines a language and a set of core libraries to provide a stable foundation for creating reliable products, projects and publications, Google said. Further, Go 1 is forward stable, meaning that code compiling in the language should, by and large, continue to compile and run throughout its lifetime even through updates and bug fixes.
The Go tool suite has been restructured around the new "go" command, which is a program for fetching, building, installing and maintaining Go code. Programmers won't need Makefiles to write Go code because the build instructions are derived from the program source itself.
Go Opinions
Go has three major distinguishing features, Wayne Kernochan, president of Infostructure Associates, told TechNewsWorld. These are: Built-in support for a particular type of Web software architecture; additional support for concurrency "with the likelihood that this will make today's programs more scalable and reliable," and a new way of doing typing that is static, implicit and orthogonal "that should make marginal improvements in both ease of good programming and program reliability."
The relation to C and Java "just makes [Go] easier to learn," Kernochan said. However, Go hasn't done enough about data management. On the other hand, "none of today's languages does, and at least [Google has] begun to recognize that it needs to be more sophisticated," he added.
"Google's computer scientists believe there's a better mousetrap and they're right, but ... they have to be aware that [widespread adoption is] going to be a long process," IDC's Hilwa remarked.
Who's Go Targeting?
Of late, there's been a move toward multicore processors because they offer more speed and power than single-core ones.
Intel's going to make all its processors multicore, Renee James, a company vice president, said at Oracle OpenWorld 2008. Apple introduced a line of Mac Pros in 2010 that have up to 12 cores. Multicore processor specialist Tilera's TILE-Gx family of processors, which are aimed at cloud computing, have up to 100 cores. Many mobile devices are now multicore.
"By its design, Go proposes an approach for the construction of system software on multicore machines," Google's Pike stated.
"Today, we're moving towards speed over functionality," Darren Hayes, CIS program chair at Pace University, told TechNewsWorld. "We're looking at multithreading, concurrency and garbage collection."
With Go 1, Google seems to be "moving for more productivity in mobile devices," Hayes said. Further, it "looks like Google's looking to take Apple head on [in the mobile sector]. There seem to be some similarities between Go and Apple's Objective C, which developers use to create apps for iOS devices."

Multi-Asset Insights: The long-term outlook for the Japanese yen
This month we share our thoughts on a more structural view than usual: our long-term outlook for the Japanese economy and the read across to the yen, as deteriorating demographics and government indebtedness continue to plague the nation.
Age of innocence in decline
The country's demographics are particularly concerning. The percentage of the nation's population aged over 65 is projected to rise from 25% in 2010 to 40% by 2050.
2014 saw a record low number of babies born and the total fertility rate (the average number of children born to a woman in her lifetime) of just 1.4 is considerably below 2.1, the generally accepted rate required to maintain a steady population in developed markets, according to the World Bank.
These statistics point to an ageing, less economically-active population which is projected to decline from the current 127 million to 105 million by 2050.
The resulting decline in the labour force will likely weigh heavily on economic growth, while an increase in the number of those aged over 65 will add additional pressure to Japan's poor fiscal position.
Counting the cost
Beyond Japan's weak demographic position, the government's debt burden, at 240% of GDP, is another significant headwind.
Almost 50% of the government's revenues is currently being used to cover debt service costs alone which will become a considerable problem should Japanese government bond (JGB) yields rise from their current levels.
Japan's post-war economic boom sharply turned into an asset price bubble which burst in the late 1980s. By the end of the 1980s, Tokyo commercial property prices had risen by a factor of 8 over just 20 years (source: Bloomberg).
Corporates had been buoyed by the rising asset prices and had increased their leverage accordingly.
However, once the bubble burst, corporates sold down assets to regain balance sheet stability, pushing prices lower and a downward spiral of asset prices began.
Servicing the debt
In an attempt to avoid a depression, the Japanese government began to aggressively loosen fiscal policy and raised government debt from 50% to 240% of GDP as a result.
History suggests that countries with such a high debt burden would normally struggle before reaching such a level but Japan has been held stable by a rich export market leading to a current account surplus, and domestic demand for JGBs.
Given that Japan is currently using more than 100% of tax revenues (Figure 1) to pay for debt servicing and social security payments, which are both forecast to rise, the country's current fiscal path is clearly not sustainable over the long-term.
Japan's internal funding source for JGB issuance also appears unsustainable given demographic trends.
Replacing this domestic demand with foreign investors may lead to higher yields and therefore higher debt service costs could cause Japan's economic path to deteriorate further.

Winter blast threatens expensive downtown decorations
It took hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to plant flowers throughout downtown Des Moines, and one man hopes they will survive the approaching winter blast.
"I mean, our fingers are crossed, and we're certainly hoping that the weather doesn't go below 32," said florist Tom Boesen.
Boesen and his employees have worked for weeks planting tens of thousands of dollars' worth of flowers in hundreds of decorative baskets for both the city of Des Moines and for private businesses like Ruan and Marriott.
"I've done the Ruan Center for, I want to say, well over 25 years, and we've never dealt with a possibility, the conversation we're having right now, of a frost or a freeze on May Day," he said.
Boesen said he is confident the delicate flowers will survive. He suggests those worried about their landscaping can cover their flowers with a sheet, don't use plastic and hope temperatures stay above freezing.

NEW ORLEANS --The 49ers' shiny new toy at quarterback continued to show off his bells and whistles here Sunday. Colin Kaepernick started the game and played pretty well -- terrific at times -- as he helped to orchestrate a 31-21 victory over the New Orleans Saints.
Alex Smith, the man Kaepernick replaced, stood on the sideline and tried to look supportive. Smith, whose concussion in a game two weeks ago allowed Kaepernick to take the job, was cleared to play Sunday but did not. After the victory, Smith said that he thinks he "should" start the next game but "doesn't expect anything." Meanwhile, 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh knew exactly what the first postgame question would be. So before it could even be asked, he tempted to be proactive.
"I hope that everybody concentrates on the actual game," Harbaugh said.
Right. Fat chance.
In pro football, nothing titillates or excites a fan base more than a quarterback controversy -- or in the case of these 49ers, a mildly frothy quasi-debate about whether Kaepernick or Smith deserves the keys to the offense right now.
Harbaugh, in answering the question, still insisted that Kaepernick is not the locked-in, new full-time starter, saying that the 49ers coaches "will look at the game (video) and make the decision." But the way things felt here Sunday inside the Superdome, the decision is tilted 90 percent in Kaepernick's favor -- even if Kaepernick himself did not buy into
"That would be the coach's decision," he said. "I keep my head down and just keep working." And that's working quite splendidly so far. Kaepernick said he did not learn for certain that he would open the game until 10 p.m. Saturday at a team meeting, when Harbaugh announced to the team that Kaepernick would get the ball. Sunday, the most impressive thing he did was walk into the Superdome's mammoth house of drunken noise -- the late afternoon local kickoff time meant more pregame drinking time -- and refused to melt down or be rattled for more than a few seconds.
Indeed, for several stretches during the game, the feeling was the same as it must have been in 2001 with the New England Patriots, when starter Drew Bledsoe was injured and his young backup -- Tom Brady -- stepped onto the field and never lost the starting job. Although Bledsoe was a very good winning quarterback, it was plain to the naked eye that Brady was stronger and could extend plays to find open receivers.
The identical sensibility crept onto the field during the 49ers' second drive of the game. When the loudness created confusion as Kaepernick tried to vocalize the proper formation, he calmly called timeout. Then, on the next play, he completed a perfect 40-yard dart of a pass to receiver Mario Manningham. Two plays later, Kaepernick ran the read-option play and fooled the Saints and most of the crowd with a fake handoff before sprinting into the end zone himself with the ball.
"The guys made the blocks in front of me," Kaepernick said. "All I had to do was run it in." On both the 40-yard dart and the touchdown run, Kaepernick demonstrated why Harbaugh and his staff have seemingly gone pie-eyed over their new toy. The second-year quarterback from Nevada clearly has a stronger arm and faster feet than Smith. The read-option can be almost impossible to stop if run properly. Harbaugh waxed near-poetic in explaining Kaepernick's proficiency on the play.
"He has a real knack for it," Harbaugh said. "He has a special ability, honed it in college and has taken it to the pro level. He can cover ground real fast, and he has an eye for making the read. He came with that ability. I take no credit for that one." Does that sound like a man who wants to reboot Kaepernick into his old backup role?
To be sure, the shiny, new toy was not perfect against the Saints. Kaepernick grew flustered late in the second quarter when he was in the shotgun and a center snap landed at his feet. Hurrying, he reached down for the ball and came up firing without looking closely at the coverage. The ball was intercepted.
"I was trying to make a play out of something that wasn't there," Kaepernick said.
Fortunately for him, the 49ers defense bailed him out seven seconds later as linebacker Ahmad Brooks picked off Drew Brees and returned the interception for six points.
So. Let the debate continue. If Smith would not have been swift enough to score on the read-option as Kaepernick did, would Smith have been experienced and smart enough to also not throw the same interception Kaepernick did? Would the 49ers defense have bailed out Smith, as well?
It's all quite entertaining to discuss. We keep learning more about Kaepernick with every passing day. Donte Whitner, the 49ers safety who also scored on an interception return, has become friendly with Kaepernick because the two often find themselves working out simultaneously at the team's practice facility in Santa Clara. Whitner said that Kaepernick is often the first man to show up on the premises.
"He's a quiet guy who has lofty goals for himself," Whitner said.
Such as? It turns out that Harbaugh has adopted a motivational technique from his old college coach at Michigan, Bo Schembechler. The 49ers players are asked before each season to assemble a "goals package" folder, as a kind of mission statement. Kaepernick showed his "goals package" to Whitner. In the folder, Kaepernick had written down that he wanted to become an NFL starter, win the Super Bowl and make the Pro Bowl.
It is also instructive to hear what the Saints players said about Kaepernick. Drew Brees, their own Pro Bowl quarterback, observed that the 49ers have "got a great formula for winning" because there was "not much difference" between Kaepernick and Smith. Jon Vilma, the New Orleans rugged linebacker, was also complimentary of Kaepernick without going too far overboard.
"I thought he did a good job managing the game," Vilma said. "He didn't force any balls. He did exactly what they asked him to do."
Hmmmmm. If those words and sentences sound familiar, it is because a year ago, people were saying the same sorts of words and sentences about Smith.
The Saints probably have it right. The 49ers could win right now with either Smith or Kaepernick. But Harbaugh and his offensive coordinator, Greg Roman, want Kaepernick out there for the four or five plays a game in which he might make a difference with his extra tools -- the faster legs, the stronger gun. The coaches also know that with Smith's personality, he won't grumble or make a public scene about sitting down. And long term, Kaepernick is surely going to be the man.
It's an ideal situation. If Smith returns as a starter because Kaepernick is hurt or is struggling, the defensive-based 49ers likely would not miss a beat. Meanwhile, the shiny, new toy keeps bringing a gleam to the eye. If it all works out, December could be the most wonderful time of the year.

InShare Purdy: San Francisco 49ers have a new toy in Colin Kaepernick
NEW ORLEANS --The 49ers' shiny new toy at quarterback continued to show off his bells and whistles here Sunday. Colin Kaepernick started the game and played pretty well -- terrific at times -- as he helped to orchestrate a 31-21 victory over the New Orleans Saints.

Unhappy with the current direction of the not-so-Big Three,
UAW workers the proletariat spoke in the form of a protest outside the Detroit Auto Show. We interviewed David Edgar, the voice behind the rally.
David Edgar, a Chrysler employee working at the Warren Stamping Plant, is not happy. He's sick of "our race to the bottom." He's sick of "what a working man has to go through to make a livable wage." He's sick of "free trade," so he and his
UAW local friends are going to fix it. Through protests and rallies, this sizable cadre of autoworkers from a variety of local factories hopes to turn the tide. Being on the inside of the show and looking out, it's a lot like the movie Airheads, but without the rock. Also, no Chris Farley. Ford marketing maven Jim Farley, yes, but he's just his cousin.
The leaders of the protest believe that pressures have been mounting since 1980 to "pull the rug out from under the UAW." One protester stated that he has shrunk his standard of living by selling his boat - and buying a smaller one. God, save us all.
