On Politics
Book One:
A History of Political Thought:
Herodotus to Machiavelli
Book Two:
A History of Political Thought:
Hobbes to the Present
Alan Ryan
Liveright: boxed, 1,114 pp., $75
It's no coincidence that "On Politics," Alan Ryan's monumental two-volume history of Western political thought, has been published just ahead of Tuesday's presidential election. At the heart of the project is a belief that this stuff matters, that the thinkers it revolves around — Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Thomas Hobbes, Karl Marx — remain relevant and fresh.
"Even if they are hard put to explain it themselves to one another," Ryan writes, "political theorists have no doubt they are engaged in productive, if sometimes frustrating, conversations across the centuries with their long-dead predecessors, as well as their contemporaries.... We are eavesdropping in the Elysian Fields, hoping to catch the cynical Machiavelli taunting Socrates for his otherworldliness, or hear Jefferson admit that Alexander Hamilton foresaw the American future more accurately than he."
What Ryan is getting at is context, which is the secret story of "On Politics." The book seeks to take a (very) long view, framing its subjects less as individuals than as the components of a continuum of which we are still a part.
Ryan, who has written books about John Dewey and Bertrand Russell (both of whom appear in "On Politics"), is well-suited for such an undertaking; a longtime professor and administrator at Oxford, he now teaches politics at Princeton and has been working on "On Politics" for 30 years. In that sense, the book is a distillation of his thinking, both intellectual and practical, and although it can be daunting, the triumph is how, as Ryan takes us through the material, he makes it so much more.
"It is tempting to compare Plato with Marx," he writes in one early discussion; "indeed, I have done so. Like Plato, Marx looked forward to a future in which the state, law, coercion, and competition for power had vanished and politics been replaced by rational organization. But we must not press the comparison." Here, we see his method: to look for threads, connections, while at the same time considering each thinker on his or her own.
Context, for Ryan, means two things: how his subjects echo one another, and the way they reflect their times. Thus, his take on Plato begins with a portrait of the philosopher as an aristocrat with ties to the oligarchy that "briefly replaced the Athenian democracy at the end of the Peloponnesian War," a position that influences "The Republic" and its sense of social hierarchy. "He assumes as a premise," Ryan writes, "that we are naturally suited to different sorts of social roles, and that one of many things wrong with democratic Athens is that the wrong people end up occupying positions of power."
Plato is one of the key figures in "On Politics" — interesting because, as Ryan observes, he was hostile to politics. "The founder of European political thought," he writes, "is the founder of antipolitical thinking."
This highlights a larger conflict between the philosophical and the practical that is at the root of the book. The point, of course, is that politics is both, that we develop theories, then apply them to real situations. The terms may shift, but the process remains the same.
Ryan introduces this idea by comparing Athenian democracy, which defined freedom as a function of participation in public life, to its American counterpart, in which personal liberty is the greatest good.
"A running theme of this book," Ryan writes, "has been that the image of the active citizen has always been in competition with that of the well-conducted, well-managed but essentially obedient subject" — and this becomes increasingly important as we move into the Enlightenment, the world of Hobbes, John Locke and Paine.
If Plato is the central figure of Book One of "On Politics," Hobbes plays a similar role in Book Two. "For our purposes," Ryan writes, "modern ways of thinking about politics can without undue exaggeration be said to begin with Hobbes."
That's because unlike Plato, Hobbes does not think of the state as natural in its own right; rather, it is created for the purpose of self-preservation. It is our only defense against nature, where, as Hobbes famously argued, life is "poore, solitary, nasty, brutish, and short."
And yet, for all that Hobbes sees politics as a matter of personal survival, he was not a supporter of individual liberty. He urges acquiescence to a single sovereign, because he thought divided government was "disastrous," and he opposed many of the rights we take for granted: "a right to free speech, to the free practice of whatever religion seems compelling …, to the immunities against arbitrary arrest and ill-treatment we see enshrined in bills of rights."
As for how Ryan squares this with the more "liberal" thinkers who came after Hobbes, again the answer is context. Without Hobbes, there would have been no need for John Locke to react to him, and without Locke, no Paine or Jefferson, no Hegel or Marx.
This brings us to the present day, where Ryan ends "On Politics," with a series of chapters on "the twentieth century and beyond." It's the most provisional material in the book, an attempt to fit large global forces (terrorism, globalization, religious fundamentalism, environmental degradation) into his argument, although he can't help but write at a distance, focusing on broad strokes, rather than particulars.
"We want to give ordinary citizens as much say as possible in the political arrangements of their society," he writes, "and to enhance their control over those who govern them; but we share the fears of the observers of Athenian factionalism, the Reformation, the French Revolution, and the disasters of the twentieth century about what ordinary citizens can do when inflamed by ideological or religious passion, bamboozled by demagogues, or beset by hysterical fears."
Still, there's something in those lines we recognize, something that speaks to what's at stake in this election, the same ideals and fears that are always at stake. The more things change, in other words, the more they stay the same.
"If the state exists," Ryan concludes, "among its other purposes, to take care of the side effects of our behaviors in ways individual and smaller groupings cannot, the question we began with remains. How can we govern ourselves? How can we act collectively to resolve the problems that our collective life creates?"

Citrus provides a refreshing Christmas gift.
Though the Christmas holidays are behind us, we have just begun celebrating with extended family. My brother-in-law and his partner arrived last evening from California and brought us the traditional gift of California citrus. This year they showered us with over 50 mandarin oranges, picked from a neighbor's tree!
If we are fortunate to see our California relatives during the winter months, we are often blessed with blood oranges, lemons and/or mandarin oranges. The fruits are in season during this time and the gift is well received in our home where parents and children delight in fresh citrus.
Fruit picked from the tree is so much more juicy and flavorful than the ones you purchase at the supermarket. And it's good to know there aren't any pesticides or wax coatings applied to our organic Christmas gift. Next to a bottle of wine, the best gift you can give me is fresh citrus!

Washington, DC – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, commented today on the legal victory of Joseph Scheidler, National Director of the Pro-Life Action League. Earlier this week, the 21-year-old case of NOW vs. Scheidler came to a definitive end as Judge David Coar entered final judgment in that case, formally clearing Mr. Scheidler of racketeering charges.
"Abortion advocates have again lost," Fr. Pavone declared, "in their efforts to stop Joe and all those who stand with him from working peacefully to stop the killing of children in the womb. I have been proud to be associated with Joe from my very first days as National Director of Priests for Life. I have been with him in the Supreme Court as well as in the streets, and we have followed this case at every step, providing all the assistance we could."
"Now, a new chapter begins," Fr. Pavone continued. "It is time for everyone who knows that abortion is murder to act like it. We've talked long enough. It's time to take to the streets, awaken the conscience of the nation, and intervene peacefully to save the lives of the thousands who are led to slaughter each day in the abortion mills of our cities."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

Charming Cheung Chau is a 6.4 kilometer moderately trafficked loop trail located near the city of Cheung Chau North, Hong Kong that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round.
kid friendly
nature trips
trail running
wild flowers
This picturesque island, famous for its Bun Festival, is a favorite with locals and tourists Cheung Chau, meaning "Long Island," is a thoroughly endearing island, easily reached by ferry from central Hong Kong. It lies approximately 12 kilometers to the southwest of Hong Kong Island and is separated from the Chi Man Peninsula of Lantau Island by the Adamasta Channel, which serves as a busy shipping lane for ferries and other shipping operating between Hong Kong to Macau and Pearl River Delta ports. The scenic ferry journey to reach Cheung Chau is one of the highlights of visiting this island. The island is only two kilometers long and is dumbbell shaped, composed of two granite hills linked by a narrow central causeway--no more than 200 meters wide at points-- where most of its 24,500 inhabitants live. While the central area of Cheung Chau is one of the most densely populated areas of Hong Kong, the island has quiet rural areas of outstanding beauty in other parts. There are no motorized vehicles on the island other than small emergency and police vehicles and petrol-driven carts. Cheung Chau has been a major fishing port for centuries and still has a large fishing fleet. The island is perhaps most famous for its annual Bun Festival (Jiao Festival), which includes a spectacular carnival and bun scrambling competition. The island also features a busy and colorful harbor, temples, beaches, narrow old alleyways and shopping streets, scenic trails, a pirate's cave and numerous harborside restaurants. Visitors will find the relaxed pace of life and leisurely atmosphere of Cheung Chau a contrast to that of urban Hong Kong. This walk takes in points of interest and attractions mainly around the central and Sai Wan areas of the island in a half-day walking tour and is by no means all Cheung Chau has to offer. Visitors with more time will also find scenic trails and other points of interest extending across the whole island.

Tucked away within North Carolina's Piedmont Triad is the community of Advance, NC. Once a rural farm community, Advance has grown rapidly over the last decade. Its quaint, small-town charm has made it an enticing hideaway for those who work in the nearby cities of Clemens and Winston-Salem.

Advance has a rich spiritual life, and is home to many churches. It also has a little slice of the spirit world, via Hollywood, as it has come to play home to the car used in the 1984 Ivan Reitman film, "Ghostbusters." Residents here love the town's tight-knit sense of community. Parents are bound to appreciate the highly rated educational experience their children receive at the local elementary and middle schools, both of which received a score of 9/10 from the site Greatschools.org.

(Beth says so, but I don't have a Conseula) 4) Do they really sleep all day then run around and keep you up all night? 5) Would not declaw a cat..but don't want them scratching up everything....can they be trained to not do that? 6) My dawg is confused by cats, he doesn't know what to make of them at Petsmart or the vet..he isn't aggressive..just confused, might chase them if they run...how do I insure they get along? 7) And why do they spray? Is that a male thing? Should I get a female? Would tweet beth but I'm sure she would say 'hire a cat psychologist" or some such nonsense.

So my roster has Jackson and Maclin on it, we only have 2 bench slots and I've got Cam Newton taking up space (Aaron Rodgers is my starter).
It's a PPR league, 2 points for receptions so a WR can make some pretty solid points. What I ended up doing is dropping McCluster (guy isn't producing despite the loss of Charles) and picked up Doug Baldwin and I'm thinking of picking up another reciever (Devin Hester is the "highest points for the season" candidate on the waiver wire) and dropping my kicker entirely (leave a slot blank) rather than trying to stash Jackson, Maclin or Newton on the wire.
Any thoughts? Darkhorse WR for next week?
Lots of passable kickers on the wire for me to reacquire one next week.

Solar Decathlon Students Gear up for a Bright Year Doing More Than Building a Solar House
Marika E. Krause
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sep. 19, 2012- For the Santa Clara University 2013 Solar Decathlon team, the challenge of building a solar house is testing more than just design and engineering skills. The U.S. Department of Energy's biennial competition is putting the students in many roles they have never explored.
"We really are like a startup company," says Project Manager Jake Gallau, '13. "Everyone has to wear many hats on this team. The person in charge of our plumbing is an economics major and our public relations team mostly consists of engineers. We're all learning skills completely out of our realm."
For the first time, the team is also getting help from SCU business students through several classes. Marketing Professor of Practice Charles Byers is having students in two of his classes create comprehensive marketing plans for the team.
"I think it's very insightful that the DOE sees marketing as an important component in the discussion of solar energy and put a marketing component in the competition," says Byers. "This will give students a real-world experience by treating the team as a client and creating marketing plans that will see the light of day. The goal is to give the team some great ideas to pick and choose from in addition to a platform to recruit a fresh batch of volunteers."
Students in any course of study can work on SCU's solar house project. More than 200 students are involved right now. This summer, a core group refined their construction skills by volunteering with Habitat for Humanity. The students also met with members of the 2007 and 2009 teams and have strong support from Bronco alumni who participated in the Solar Decathlon.
"A lesson we have learned is that having an outside space that is a part of the house is a big plus," says Jay Dubashi, '15. "The back deck in the 2009 house was a hit, and for 2013 we are going to try and go even further with that and really integrate the outside spaces."
The nearly-finalized design plans are due to the Department of Energy in October. The students plan to release the house name in the weeks to come, but are keeping much of their design plan under wraps. They do share that this year the focus is on affordability and accessibility. It may be the experience and skills gained outside their areas of expertise that will prove to be the real payoff.
"We have people to cover every aspect of the competition, and I couldn't have asked for anything better," says Gallau. "I encourage anyone motivated to try something new and gain leadership skills in the process to join the team."

In the past, Nick Alfini and Connor Kopach were foes when they met on the baseball field.
Alfini pitched for Downers Grove South and Kopach batted and played the infield for Downers Grove North as they played on different sides of the rivalry.
This summer, they are teammates with the DuPage County Hounds in the Midwest Collegiate League. Several of their teammates, including Christian Bokich and Adam Dressler from Hinsdale Central, also played high school ball in the West Suburban Conference last spring.
"I knew Kopach because of North-South, we play them all the time, and I had heard of the other guys, and they're great guys," Alfini said. "It's kind of cool, being local and still playing together a year older."
The MCL is a summer league for collegiate players and offers them the chance to hone their skills against stiff competition. Alfini and Kopach both agree that the chance to play in the league has been an exciting one.
"It's a great experience," said Kopach, a Westmont resident who played in 49 games as a freshman at Southern Illinois University this spring. "I've met a lot of new people, and it's been really cool getting to play with other people and see how they play the game."
Alfini saw significant action on the mound this spring for St. Ambrose University, an NAIA school in Davenport, Iowa. He went 3-1 in 11 relief appearances and finished with a 3.00 ERA. He earned a starting nod from Hounds manager Sean Osborne earlier this summer.
"It's cool getting a chance to start. It's a different experience," he said. "Working longer, you have to pace yourself. I developed a circle changeup so it helped being a starter I could work on another pitch."
Playing predominantly against NCAA Division I players has also benefited Alfini as he looks to earn a larger role with the Bees next season.
"It's been a different transition playing with and against a lot of [NCAA] Division I guys," he said. "You have to be sharp with your stuff. It's been a fun experience. I've learned so much stuff. It's been cool."
Kopach, who played in the MCL All-Star game July 9, came into the summer with two main areas where he wanted to improve.
"Bunting and stealing," he said. "Bunting because I didn't bunt well in the spring and stealing because I only had nine this spring and they want me to do more [at SIU]."
Alfini came to league after working with Osborne at The Perfect Swing in the winter and asking about summer league opportunities. SIU coach Ken Henderson found a spot for Kopach in a summer league in Pennsylvania, but Kopach wanted to stay closer to home this summer and picked up a spot in the MCL. From his experience this summer, Alfini would consider another go-round in the league next year.
"It's cool because for a summer league it's really intense, so you get that game intensity and game speed," Alfini said. "That's what I like about it."

Nashua school superintendent to present revised budgetBy BARBARA TAORMINA
Union Leader Correspondent
March 05. 2014 10:22PM
NASHUA — The Board of Education presented next year's school budget to a sea of empty seats at Nashua High School North's auditorium during a public hearing Wednesday night.
Although the presentation was based on Superintendent Mark Conrad's proposed $102 million budget that calls for a $5 million increase over last year, Conrad said the administration is making adjustments and cuts, and he plans to present a revised budget to the board that will have a "low- to mid-4 percent increase."
Still, even a 4 percent increase is close to double what Mayor Donnalee Lozeau has said the city can afford under its spending cap.
Alderman Michael Soucy, who represents Ward 5, was one of the few people to turn out for the budget hearing.
Although he complimented the board for the good things happening in the school district, the budget proposal on the table was a problem for Soucy.
"I'm going to strongly encourage Mr. Conrad and the board to get back to work," said Soucy. "I can't support a 5.2 percent increase. We just had an election, and the people have spoken. They want to see taxes reduced or at least stable."
Alderman Diane Sheehan also attended the hearing and asked board members to tell the city what they need to do their job. Sheehan warned there will probably be cuts but stressed the value of homes in Nashua depend on the quality of the city's schools.
Nashua resident Fred Teeboom was the only one at the hearing to strongly object to the budget proposal. According to Teeboom's calculations, Nashua taxpayers are spending about $12,000 a year on each student in the district. Teeboom went through some of the recent test scores from students at Nashua's high schools and suggested the city wasn't getting its money's worth.
"The mayor said 2.1 percent is what you are allowed," said Teeboom. "Your proposal is to take all of the money allowed (under the spending cap). The hell with the police, the hell with the fire department and public works because you're going to take it all."
Conrad acknowledged that 5.2 percent is a large increase but he tried to put the budget proposal in context.
Last year, school spending rose by 2 percent and the year before by just 1 percent. And from FY 2010 to 2012, the school district lost 83 positions.
"About 30 percent of those losses were due to a decline in enrollment, but the majority of cuts were real reductions in resources," he said.
Although the budget proposal calls for just over $5 million in new spending, much of the increase is due to costs beyond the Board of Educations's control. Roughly $3.3 million is for teacher and staff salaries and raises. The district is also negotiating a new transportation contract, and while it will be less than originally anticipated, the cost to getting students to and from school is expected to increase by 20 percent.
Conrad has proposed spending $569,000 on new teachers and staff. The district hopes to hire four new elementary school teachers to ease classroom crowding, which teachers and parents agree has been a problem.
The Board of Education plans to hold a second public hearing on the revised budget in the beginning of April.

And it's time for... a new Umineko Uso Bare! Spoilers for EP6 and 7 most likely!
うみねこのなく頃に 嘘バレまとめ+(プラス)
It's not on youtube yet though...
Ok, this one deserves special mention:
At 7:56
Rosa: "Huff.. huff... Battler-kun, you should rest a bit. You've gone at it 3 times already!"
Battler: "What do you mean? I'm still young. And I promised that I'd be with you the whole night, right?"
Rosa: "Even so, we should be a little more quiet. Maria is sleeping next door."
Battler: "Ihihihi... Weren't you the one who raised your voice? And you somehow looked like you were enjoying it..."
Rosa: "But that's.. wait! Don't just start up like that, I'm not ready."
-- ok, it's long.. summarizing the rest. Maria wakes up and notices Rosa and Battler going at it in the next room. Rosa complains to Battler that they were too loud and had woken her up. Maria comes in, "What are you two doing?"
-- They were playing a new Television-Game that Krauss' new company had made.
Battler: "Sorry for waking you up, Maria."
Battler asks Maria to take the day off from school the day after and play with him. Rosa surprising allows it. "And that's how the three of them got along together and passed the night."

Old news video, but a good recollection of all screenshots available of Episode 7.
Obviously, do -not- watch it unless you are done with Episode 6 (and no, even if it is in japanese, it might spoil a plenty).
The peculiar point why I'm posting it is... unless someone is really an excellent copycat, it seems it is one of dai's tracks.
This track is called "why you are", but still, I've yet to find any location where it was initially available (no, it isn't one of the unused track of Music Box blue, it is neither on dai's site newest news nor on the new music box).
In any case, "why you are" is quite excellent, perhaps the best "hope" remix I have ever heard for the moment.
Also, an hilarous doujin drama (the same group that has done Episode 5, and ongoing with Episode 6), regarding Zepar and Furfur Gender

By the way:
at 3:37 of that Usobare video:
Bern: "Battler, do you know what Requiem means?"
Battler: "Ummm.. what was it again?"
Bern: "Tell her, Natsuhi."
Natsuhi: "Reqiuem in Japanese is 鎮魂歌. In other words, 'chinkonku.' In Latin it means 'Peaceful Rest.'
Battler: "Wait.. say that again in hiragana one more time."
Natsuhi: "? ... well.. ok. Chinkonka. Chi n ko n ka. Something wrong?"
** TL note: Chinko means... something Battler has that the other two girls on screen doesn't. 8)
EDIT: Now whenever you think of Reqiuem of the Witch.. you know what it REALLY means. 8)

I've seen a lot of these of these parodies and this is actually the best of the lot. Not by much though. It's still pretty bad. It's the first episode though so I don't have much to complain about.
I'm tired of all these Umineko abridged series. What we really need is an Umineko abridged theories. Because that's where all the comedy gold is.

Linux 3.13 To Support EFI On ARM

- Oct 2009

Originally posted by Ericg View PostYeah I wasn't referring to the hardware devel stages :P I was more asking what is the typical android phone's version of BIOS/(U)EFI, if it even had one at all?
Now there is at least one piece of good news; that one of the later stages of the bootloader chain is, indeed, open source. This part is actually part of AOSP and can be found here; https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/lk/ --- "lk" is for "Little Kernel", also known as "aboot".
I am mostly familiar with qualcomm SoC's, and the bootloader stages before lk are basically a nightmare. You have a small prom on the board with the PBL, then 4 partitions on the eMMC called SBL1, SBL2, SBL3, and TZ. PBL is the first thing that runs when the CPU powers on, and is just enough to get the eMMC going and have it start running SBL1. Every stage of this bootloader chain signature checks the next stage. TZ is basically "bad-DRM", known as "trust zone".
The initialization path goes like this; PBL --> SBL1 --> SBL2 --> TZ --> SBL2 --> SBL3 --> LK.
The SoC itself has a bank of fuses that tell SBL3 whether or not to signature check LK. If it is *not* blown, then you could replace LK with one built from source. If it is blown, then LK probably also signature checks the boot and recovery partitions.... i.e., those two partitions where you can find kernel+initrd. There are two differences between boot and recovery partitions; 1 is the payload of the initrd. 2 is the load priority. Boot is the default selected option for starting up Android, the recovery choice is tied to a gpio, typically volume up. This distinction is made by LK.
So LK is basically a triple boot loader. It defaults to loading boot, volup to load recovery, voldown to load *fastboot*, which is a super-recovery payload within LK itself. It basically lets you write filesystem images to the eMMC within a specified list of partitions.
So good news is that LK is open source, bad news is that it is prone to being locked down and possibly even butchered. If you've messed with Samsung phones, for example, you'll be aware of their "loader" mode, which is basically a butchered version of fastboot. It does about the same thing, but only responds to their proprietary software, rather than standard fastboot protocols. Not particularly complex though, and has been reverse engineered.
LK is basically the Android equivalent of GRUB. The crap before it, is a nightmare.
I had always assumed that the thing refused to boot due to a signed boot loading issue (on a prototype no less), but now I've got something approaching an explanation.

I have an unbelievable sweet tooth having been raised by a mother that constantly baked and always had something for us to eat. I thought I would never have anything really sweet again. Boy, was I wrong. I've only tried 2 recipes so far but I didn't know being a diabetic could taste so good. I wish I had this book when I was diagnosed years ago. My disease might not have gotten so out of hand. Thanks for a great book!
I wanted to review the ratings, I have not purchased therefore can not fairly rate. Entered anyway as I was not able to proceed!
I couldn't use this book. It uses artificial sweeteners too much for me. I was disappointed. I wish I had known that artificial sweeteners were primary before I bought it. I gave it away.

Finally, another point to bear in mind is that period and cohort life expectancy estimates are statistical measures, and they do not take into account any person-specific factors such as lifestyle choices. Clearly, the length of life for an average person is not very informative about the predicted length of life for a person living a particularly unhealthy lifestyle.
How is life expectancy calculated?
In practical terms, estimating life expectancy entails predicting the probability of surviving successive years of life, based on observed age-specific mortality rates. How is this actually done?
Age-specific mortality rates are usually estimated by counting (or projecting) the number of age-specific deaths in a time interval (e.g. the number of people aged 10-15 who died in the year 2005), and dividing by the total observed (or projected) population alive at a given point within that interval (e.g. the number of people aged 10-15 alive on 1 July 2015).
To ensure that the resulting estimates of the probabilities of death within each age interval are smooth across the lifetime, it is common to use mathematical formulas, to model how the force of mortality changes within and across age intervals. Specifically, it is often assumed that the proportion of people dying in an age interval starting in year and ending in year corresponds to , where is the age-specific mortality rate as measured in the middle of that interval (a term often referred to as the 'central death rate' for the age interval). 1
Once we have estimates of the fraction of people dying across age intervals, it is simple to calculate a 'life table' showing the evolving probabilities of survival and the corresponding life expectancies by age. Here is an example of a life table from the US , and this tutorial from MEASURE Evaluation explains how life tables are constructed, step by step (see Section 3.2 'The Fergany Method').
Period life expectancy figures can be obtained from 'period life tables' (i.e. life tables that rely on age-specific mortality rates observed from deaths among individuals of different age groups at a fixed point in time). And similarly, cohort life expectancy figures can be obtained from 'cohort life tables' (i.e. life tables that rely on age-specific mortality rates observed from tracking and forecasting the death and survival of a group of people as they become older).
For some countries and for some time intervals, it is only possible to reconstruct life tables from either period or cohort mortality data. As a consequence, in some instances—for example in obtaining historical estimates of life expectancy across world regions —it is necessary to combine period and cohort data. In these cases, the resulting life expectancy estimates cannot be simply classified into the 'period' or 'cohort' categories.

Sinusitis occurs when the hollow spaces around the nasal passages are inflamed. Chronic sinusitis is sinusitis for 12 or more weeks that does not respond to medical intervention.
The most common cause of chronic sinusitis is infection from bacteria, viruses or fungi or allergies that are not well controlled. The sinuses are lined with tiny hair-like cilia that work to sweep away mucous. When infection or allergy causes the membranes in the sinuses to swell these cilia can't do their job properly. Bacteria, viruses or even fungi can start to colonize the sinuses. In addition, growths known as polyps can block sinus passages and keep sinuses from draining properly.
The most prominent symptom is pain, pressure and a feeling of fullness around the forehead, nose, cheeks and eyes. Swelling might even be visible. Other common symptoms of chronic sinusitis include:
You can seek treatment for chronic sinusitis from your primary care physician, but they are not the experts in treating this condition. Your best treatment will come from an otolaryngologist or as they are commonly known, an ENT. ENTs are specially trained to treat chronic sinusitis with medical and surgical interventions.
First the ENT will determine this cause of the condition. This involves taking a complete medical history and performing a physical examination of your nose. In addition, an endoscope may be used to examine the sinuses and take nasal cultures. CT or MRI images may be captured. Once the cause is determined appropriate treatment will begin.This can include:
There are many minimally invasive surgical procedures that can be used to treat chronic sinusitis. If you have sinusitis that occurs over and over again or if you have sinusitis that won't go away, call the ENT and schedule an appointment for an evaluation today.

How would they have cited a date in the text of a book, such as, say, 'on the tenth of May, the 9th legion marched to the frontier'?
Did they commonly use numerals for either the day or the month, or did they write it all out? What about the year?
For that matter, from what starting point did they count their years?
While I'm at it, when mentioning the hour, I assume that they would have written something like, 'in (or during) the eighth hour'?

10. 'The Bride of Frankenstein' (1935)
The granddaddy of all monster movie scores, Franz Waxman's majestic orchestral score -- utilizing three basic themes, for the creature, his mate and the mad Dr. Pretorius -- was so popular with film audiences that Universal repurposed sections of it in dozens of shorts, serials, westerns, and myriad B pictures for decades to come; the penultimate section of the score, "The Creation of the Female Monster," is often heard in symphony halls during the Halloween season.

Here is the rundown of prediction for tonight's Eagles-Sehawks game from the Daily News:
Who knows?
And maybe more pertinent, who cares?
If the Eagles still do, they should win, but anybody with any confidence in this team's focus and desire coming off that New England loss is an optimist indeed.
The Birds' defensive line, the most consistent part of the operation, ought to be able to get to Tarvaris Jackson, and key on Marshawn Lynch. If Vince Young can stop underthrowing DeSean Jackson, and Andy Reid and Marty Mornhinweg remember they employ LeSean McCoy, the Eagles should be able to score enough points to win, if that really means anything at this point.
An Eagles loss, on the other hand, might go further toward defining the future beyond this season.
Prediction: Eagles, 20-16
Raise your hand if when the NFL schedule was released you thought this would be a matchup of 4-7 teams. OK, I see no one with a hand up. No one! What started out as a season with enormous promise for the Birds has turned into a nightmare. Right now the Eagles trail the Cowboys and the wild-card teams by three games, and with all the injuries, a fourth straight playoff appearance looks like a real longshot. Michael Vick will miss another game, Jeremy Maclin is out, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is gone, LeSean McCoy is questionable and who knows where DeSean Jackson's mind will be tonight. Seattle ain't exactly ripping the covers off the rest of the NFL, but the Seahawks have been a money-maker at home, covering nine of the last 15. And we're thinking that Pete Carroll will look to pay back Vince Young for that crushing defeat in the National Championship game.
Prediction: Seahawks, 24-22
Ed Barkowitz: Eagles, 24-13
Bill Conlin: Eagles, 23-21
Paul Domowitch: Eagles, 27-17
Marcus Hayes: Eagles, 24-17
John Smallwood: Eagles, 24-17

Athletic bodies and contemporary costumes meet explosive Taiko drumming and innovative choreography in a show that has critics waxing lyrical about TAO's extraordinary precision, energy, and stamina. With hundreds of sold-out shows and more than a million spectators, TAO has proven that modern entertainment based on the traditional art of Japanese drumming has massive international appeal.
The stars of TAO live and train at a compound in the mountains of Japan, reaching the highest level of virtuosity only after years of intensive study. The performers each bring nontraditional flair to the group by drawing on their diverse backgrounds: one as a hard rock musician, another as a gymnast, and yet another as a composer. They offer a young and vibrantly modern take on a traditional art form.

2014 (Crew/Dayton): Made one appearance -- a substitute appearance -- in the midfield during the Crew's 2014 season before being placed on season-ending injured reserve on July 18 surrounding a hip surgery ... made two appearances -- including one start -- for the Dayton Dutch Lions of USL-PRO on a game-by-game loan ... appeared for Dayton against the New York Red Bulls Reserves (March 30) and then started against Sacramento Republic FC (May 25) ... missed the Crew matches at Sporting KC (May 4), at Houston (May 7) against Vancouver (May 10) and at Portland (May 17) with a left groin strain ... made his MLS debut in a substitute appearance in the match at Toronto FC (May 31) ... was placed on season-ending injured reserve on July 18 with a left hip impingement/labral tear with surgery on July 23 ... Baiden did not make an appearance in the 2014 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.
Baiden (pronounced: "Fee-fee" "BAY-den"), the holding midfielder, recorded two goals and four assists in 76 games played – including 63 starts – during his college career at University of California Santa Barbara. A 2013 preseason All-American, Baiden was named to the All-Big West Second Team following his senior season and was the only holding midfielder listed in Top Drawer Soccer's list of top 10 midfielders in the country. As a junior, Baiden earned All-Big West First Team honors for his defensive play in the UCSB midfield.
Born in Accra, Ghana, Baiden played with the Santa Barbara Soccer Club U-19 Gold squad and was a finalist at the 2010 National Cup. He assisted in leading the club to the 2009 OC Classic Kickoff Championship, the 2009 Nike Harvest Cup finals, the 2008 Hawaii International Cup Championship and the 2008 Copa Real Cup finals.

Earth : Asia : Middle East : Jordan : Southern Desert : Petra
Petra, the fabled "rose red city, half as old as time", is a well known ancient Nabataean city in the south of Jordan. Due to its breathtaking grandeur and fabulous ruins, Petra was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985.
Petra was the impressive capital of the Nabataean kingdom from around the 6th century BC. The kingdom was absorbed into the Roman Empire in AD 106 and the Romans continued to expand the city. An important center for trade and commerce, Petra continued to flourish until a catastrophic earthquake destroyed buildings and crippled vital water management systems around AD 663. After Saladin's conquest of the Middle East in 1189, Petra was abandoned and the memory of it was lost to the West.
The ruins remained hidden to most of the world until the Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt, disguised as an Arab scholar, infiltrated the Bedouin-occupied city in 1812. Burckhardt's accounts of his travels inspired other Western explorers and historians to discover the ancient city further. The most famous of these was David Roberts, a Scottish artist who created accurate and detailed illustrations of the city in 1839.
The first major excavations of the site were in 1929 after the forming of Trans-Jordan. Since that time, Petra has become by far Jordan's largest tourist attraction. The site was included in the Steven Spielberg movie, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade in 1989 and was chosen in July 2007 as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Get in
Entry ticket
Entry Ticket to Petra costs 90 JD (=127 USD) for those who are Day-Visitors to Jordan (i.e. those tourists staying in Israel or Egypt who will spend the day in Petra and return without spending the night in Jordan). Tourists (overnight and cruise visitors) pay 50 JD (=70 USD) for 1 day's access to Petra, 55 JD for 2 days or 60 JD for 3 days. Students have to pay the full price, unless they have a valid Jordanian University ID; then the entry fee is 1 JD.
If you don't feel like paying the whopping 50 JD, then another option is petra at night which is 17 JD (Sep '16). It runs Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, and starts 20:30. They will light candles all along the way to the treasury, and a lot of candles in front of it. The bad part is that you only get to see the treasury.
The 2 or 3 days tickets contains the first or last name of the owner. On the second and the third day of visit a passport is (sometimes) required along with the ticket. When choosing the length of your ticket duration, keep in mind that: 1) if you're physically fit and up for it from dusk till dawn you can do ALL of Petra in one day, but 2) you're probably not so you might want to split it into two days, yet 3) 3 days is definitely too much unless you're a historian.
Jordan pass is available for travelers staying at least three nights In Jordan, it includes visa plus entry for 1 or more days to many popular Jordanian sites including Petra. Jordan Pass cost at writing(SEP '16) was 70, 75 and 80 JOD for 1, 2 or 3 days in Petra respectively including Entry visa.(Petra entrance fee is typically 50-90 JOD and Visa is typically 50-60 JOD) Info is instantly emailed and Jordan Pass can be used immediately. See Jordan Pass website for more information. Incase you avail the Jordan pass but exit Jordan within 3 nights, you might have to pay 60 JD at the immigration.
The archeological site of Petra is not surrounded by any physical barrier and there is a separate guarded entrance for the locals not far from the center of the archeological site, but you'll need a valid ticket in your possession to access it.
On foot
Petra archeological site is reachable by an easy 20 minute walk from the town centre or most hostels/hotels in the town of Petra.
By bus
JETT buses, both ordinary and all-inclusive guided tour, connect to Amman and Aqaba via the fast (but boring) Desert Highway. Other tourists come with organized groups, including daily trips from Eilat.Tours to Petra from Taba, Sinai and Sharm el Sheikh are also gaining popularity with charter tourism, an example [14].
It costs 20 JD per person to travel round-trip by JETT bus from Amman to Petra and back allowing you to see almost the entire site in an (exhausting) day trip. Bus departs from Amman at 06:30 and from Petra at 17:00 from the parking lot just outside the Petra visitor centre.
By minibus
Public minibus from Wadi Musa (Petra) to Ma'an is 0.55 JD and from there to Aqaba 1.50 JD (April 2012). The main route from Wadi Musa to Aqaba is overpriced for tourists! The same for the route from Amman to Wadi Musa. With the stop over in Ma'an you should be able to pay the normal price for the public minibus.
Public minibuses also depart with no timetable (when they fill up) until midday, from Aqaba bus station(next to Souq Al Rouwaq) for Wadi Musa (1.85 JD) and the opposite. From there take a taxi and will cost you no more that 1-2JD to the visitor centre. The opposite is possible when you finish your visit. Taxis are available in the entrance of the Site and will take you back to the Wadi Musa bus station. Do not count on afternoon departures so better is to start your tour as early in the morning you can.
The minibus from/to Wadi Rum costs 7 JD (March 2016). It takes 2 hours to get to Petra. Have the Rum Guesthouse or your tour operator call the bus owner the day before to arrange an exact time for pick up. The bus leaves Petra at 6:30 am and the same bus does the route back to Petra leaving from Wadi Rum around 9am, but may be delayed due to weather or tour groups coming the other way.
There are also minibuses from Amman departing from the Wihdat bus station (cab drivers might also know it as the South Bus Station) - these leave when full, and tourists are charged 5 JD to get on. Do not allow the drivers to charge you for your luggage, as they might sometimes try to do. Taxi drivers at the bus station might also try and tell you the minibuses are cancelled so that you hire them to drive you to Petra - just ignore them and find the mini-bus. The ride is about three hours.
There is a minibus going from Aqaba. The problem is, there's no timetable - it leaves early in the morning (6:45) from Wadi Musa towards Aqaba, then returns from Aqaba when it fills up etc. The trip is a bit less than 2 JD (Nov 2013).
The minibus station is full of con artists, this is not the better part of town, they'll try to have a file on you. It's best not to speak to anyone on the bus, at the station, and certainly do not accept rides from any taxis or private vehicles. Talk in the area is that this gang has the whole neighborhood. Tourism is down in Aquaba and other Red Sea resorts due to security advisories, so the hustlers are here.
By rental car
Jordanian traffic is chaotic and do not expect other drivers to follow normal traffic rules. GPS navigation can often be inaccurate and unreliable as some secondary roads are not mapped even in the latest maps (including Google maps for secondary roads near Petra, as of 2014 Oct.) Nokia Here is somewhat better.
Petrol stations are not frequent and outside large towns 95RON premium is not available.
By taxi
Taxi is also a viable option. For 75 JD or less (depending on how much you haggle) you may be able to get a private taxi from Amman to Petra and back, including the driver waiting around for 6 hours. In December 2012 we manage to pay 60 JD from Petra to Amman. Official rate said to be 70JD.
A taxi from Aqaba to Petra should cost about JD 20-30 one-way. Negotiate the price with driver including the clarification that you are headed directly to the Petra visitor centre.
If you get there renting a minibus with a driver in the hotel at the Dead Sea, the one-way price would be 140 JD.
Phone numbers for taxi operators:
Getting to Jordan / Visas
Petra is located in the Kingdom of Jordan, for information on getting in to Jordan itself see Jordan#Get in and for entry requirements see Jordan#Obtaining a visa.
Get around
The only modes of transport allowed within Petra are on two feet or four (camel, donkey, or horse). When entering Petra, there is a brief hike down towards the Siq. "Free" horses will be available for travel to the entrance of the Siq, or you can choose to take a horse-drawn buggy through the Siq (a distance of about 0.9 kilometers) and down to the Treasury. WARNING: Be very careful in dealing with the horse men (people from Wadi Musa) - they will tell you that the horse ride is free, but once you are riding, will reveal that the "tipping" cost is actually 18 JOD per person (around £15 GBP/20 Euros/US$25). The ride takes about 5 minutes and is no quicker than walking. You can try negotiating - 4 JOD per person will probably be accepted- tourists being scammed of 60 JOD for a family of 3 is usual. Note that the local Bedou not always treat animals very well (with the possible exception of camels, which are more highly valued). Don't be afraid to speak up with a sharp "Bas!" ("enough!") if you feel an animal is being mistreated; Bedouins are respectful of their guest's wishes. It's also not uncommon to see wounded animals, especially those pulling the carts, to be put to gallop under 37°C. So if you can walk, it's better to spare the animals.
There are 4 segments within Petra with 3 potential animal transport. From the entrance to the Siq (by horse), From the Entrance to the Treasury (by cart), From the Treasury to the stairs of the Monastery (donkey or camel), the 800 stairs of the monastery (donkey).
Once you arrive at the Treasury and throughout Petra, there will be many camel and donkey owners jockeying for your business. Be prepared to do some bargaining and don't pay more than 25 JD, a more reasonable price is around 15 JD a person. Often there are times when the owner will drop his price in half simply by hearing a few phrases in Arabic.
Camel transport could be an option. Riding a camel is a unique experience on more level ground, but a donkey is recommended for more ambitious climbs, such as the ones to the High Place or the Monastery. Camels are the only animals respected by their owners in Petra as they're very expensive and less docile than donkeys or horses. So riding them is ok but deal well with the owner before climbing on them.
However if you are reasonably fit and the weather is good, the walk is quite nice. Prefer climbing the Monastery's path from 3pm on, it will be mostly in the shadow. Riding a donkey is nothing for the animal friends as they treat the animals not always as they should and the climb at noon in the summer months is really hard for them.
Between your hotel and Petra entrance, you can either walk or take a taxi for 1-2jd. Most hotels have free shuttle to the entrance on fixed schedules.
A good idea is to stock up on high quality batteries for your digital camera, before you enter the site. You will need more photos than you think, and local batteries will often not last many minutes.
Petra is an archaeological park, so the entrance fees are considered fairly steep compared to other Jordanian attractions. See the ticket info in the Get in section.
Guides can be hired from about 50 JD and up (depending on what you want to see) at the Visitors Center. Many of them were born and raised in Petra, and will gladly share their knowledge with you. Alternatively, major hotels can rent you a portable Easyguide [15] audio guide (JD 10/day) for commentary in English, Arabic, French and Spanish. Easyguide is also available as a mobile phone service on all Jordanian mobile phone networks, a map [16]
For the terminally energetic, there are a number of popular hikes around Petra.
Most hikes last about 2-3 hours both way.
Once you have seen Petra consider exploring Little Petra and the bordering deserts Wadi Rum and Wadi Araba. You can hire a local Bedouin guide for single or multiple day treks by foot, 4WD, horse or camel. Sleeping under the stars in a Bedouin camp and cooking a meal Bedouin style is a special experience.
There is a quite cheap supermarket between Cleopatra Hotel and Seven Wonders Hotel. All items are scanned, so there is not a tourist and a local price. Although closes quite early, around 4-5pm.
Just under the bus station is a big building, with fruits and vegetables. Fair prices.
There is only one restaurant in all Petra at the far end of the Roman Highway, which does a roaring trade despite steep pricing. It also has the valley's monopoly on beer.
For just snacks and hot & cold drinks however, there are a number of small stores and vendors scattered throughout Petra.
Shade is sparse in Petra, and on a hot summer day you can expect to go through at least 4 liters of water (and more if you can afford to carry it). The need for water in the winter months is much less. 1.5 liter bottles cost 1-1.50 JD.
In Wadi Musa, there are many more eating options.
Stay healthy
The most cold and rainy months to visit Petra are December, January and February. In this time it is warm during the day and very cold in the evenings and at nights. That's why it is necessary to take coats, hats and gloves. And it could warm up your visit there if you take a thermos with hot tea with you. Avoid going if the forecast shows a lot of rain, as the guards may need to transport tourists out if the valley starts to flood (like on Jan 18th 2010), it occasionally snows in Petra (around two days a year). During summer the hot, dry air sometimes results in nosebleeds for those who are prone to them, remedies like petroleum jelly on the skin are said to help. Cracking skin means you don't drink enough water.
Also, carry plenty of water and Oral Rehydration products like water if you are traveling to Petra in the hot summer months to avoid dehydration for lack of water. Shade, a head covering, or stopping moving somewhere cool and drinking water, will help you avoid getting a heat stroke.

Creative Reuse: From Old Glass to New Pendant Lights
For those of you who are fans of mason jar lights, consider branching out and adding a light bulb to a variety of other pretty vintage glass designs. See below for some creative ideas, from glass candy bowls to decanters. You can purchase one of the designs below, or get inspired to make your own.
1. One of Jay Watson's newest lines, Just Desserts, is a cluster of ceiling pendants made from traditional glass dessert bowls sourced from flea markets and second-hand shops. Each light features a LED that has been incorporated into a turned wooden and aluminum fixture and then bonded to the base of the pressed glass dishes. Starts at £63.
2. Old vintage telegraph insulators were originally manufactured in the 1800s to protect telegraph lines and secure them to poles, and then later used for telephone and power lines. Today, you can find them online and at garage sales in a variety of colors and sizes. They can be used for a variety of home decor ideas, including light fixtures.
3 + 4. BootsNGus upcycles a variety of vintage home and kitchenware items and turns them into new light fixtures. Pictured here are a vintage Pyrex "Horizon Blue" mixing bowl ($90) and a 1950's flamingo pink Pyrex cake pan ($65).
5. British designer Lee Broom created a line of upscale lighting fixtures from old decanters sourced from flea markets. Because the design was so popular, Lee Broom had to design a new collection with his own cuts because vintage decanters became hard to find. You can find the new collection and more inspiration here.

The Bantams were already trailing by three goals at Wembley when Duke was sent from the field for tripping Jonathan de Guzman in the box.
And Parkinson believes that a yellow card would have proved a sufficient punishment, given that Swansea were already in the ascendency.
|Bradford are 15/2 to be promoted from League Two with Bet365
"At 3-0 down I felt he could have used his common sense, but then they scored the fourth and that was it.
"Everyone watching the game would have felt that was harsh - there was no need to send him off. Were we going to come back and win 5-4? No."
The 45-year-old went on to admit that Bradford had been outclassed by Michael Laudrup's men during Sunday's showpiece.
He added:"I am disappointed obviously. We were not able to make a game of it but Swansea are an outstanding team.
"We found it tough but a lot of Premier League teams find it tough against Swansea."
With Bradford eight points short of a League Two play-off place, Parkinson underlined the importance of his side's focus now returning to their league commitments.
He said: "We will dust ourselves down. We have enjoyed the whole experience and we will go back up to Bradford and enjoy the last 15 league games. We have a chance of promotion so we will make a go of it."

Expand your casework repertoire with a curvaceous front.
By Glen D. Huey
Pages: 28-35
From the February 2012 issue #195.
Buy the issue now.
One of the most interesting aspects of a serpentine chest, with its front concave at the ends and convex in the center, is how the wood grain changes as the curves undulate across the front. A drawer front that begins as a piece of flat stock presents three distinct areas after shaping. The grain in the concave sections displays an "X" pattern, while the grain in the center section forms a circle. The patterns highlight the curved front to give the chest a more distinctive appearance.
* In the cut list for the Serpentine Chest, the drawer fronts were incorrectly listed as 1 -3/4″ thick; the correct thickness for each drawer front is 2-3/4."
MODEL: Click here for the SketchUp model of the Serpentine Chest.
VIDEO: See Glen use a router setup to remove the bulk of the waste from dovetail sockets.
MORE VIDEO: Discover the treasures of 42 diplomatic reception rooms at the U.S. Department of State building in Washington, D.C., home to a fabulous collection of American antiques.

Been doing research on Google and how it collects data and among other information we found was this blog, couple of good articles, http://mountainrunner.us/ict/ – read this blog post http://mountainrunner.us/2006/02/google.html
Google knows* what we search for and click over to, what we have on our desktop, what we click on, where we surf, what travels we book, whats news we read, what emails we send or read, what places we like to look at and now they could know our DNA. I really, really hope they do store my data in a secure environment, Google could potentially be a ticking privacy bomb.
"Google has the right to control the quality of the inputs, but at what point might Google become a public good? Or too big? Can it become too big? Might it become a new Common, in the traditional almost quaint notion? Charles Clover, writing in Internationale Politik, reminded me of Grotius's Mare Liberum that established the ocean as a common and of John Selden's refinement, Mare Clausum, establishing sovereignty over sea closest to its territory.
