This applies to my students. Different dojo might handle the issue differently.
It is important that students not come to class when ill with a cold, flu, pinkeye, chickenpox, or other sickness. It is good to want to train, but it is more important to get better and not get the other students sick.
One sick students can make many other students sick and those students can in turn make their families, classmates, co-workers, neighbors, etc. sick as well.
Students should think about others and be considerate.
For children, if you are feeling ill, tell your parents that I recommended that you not come to class until you are better. They can always call me. Like I said, it is good to want to train but more important to get better first.
Rigorous training can make a sick student even more sick. In a weakened condition, the student might be more likely to become injured or to injure another student.
If a sick students comes to class, I will just have to call the parents or guardians to come pick them up. I will not allow a sick student to train.
With global concerns about bird flu, we all have to be very careful. After class, it is important for students to go home and wash their hands with soap or other sanitizers. You should not eat until you have washed your hands thoroughly. You can't see germs, but they are there.
And if you have become sweaty during training, you should change into dry clothes before you leave the dojo. You should not wear a wet gi home because you can catch a chill, particularly in an air conditioned car. You should always bring an extra t-shirt. I carry two or three in my car at all times.
Remember that students should not wear their gi top and belt outside of the dojo.
Be safe and be healthy. Be considerate of other students by not coming to class when you are sick. Get better and come to class when you are fully recovered. That way we can all stay healthy.

Mobile App Development
Custom PackagePOA
Having an app for your business or promotion or whatever it may be can be a game changing marketing tool to drive traffic and revenue. Types of Apps that can be developed:
Basic table functionality
- It is certainly a good option for businesses who want an app that displays basic information. Think about this as a hierarchy: opening screen has big topics and you click one and you now have a set of new lists to click on.
Database driven custom functionality
- Development on this gets more complex and starts to get into whether or not you want the data housed "native" (built into the app) or "dynamic" (built into an online web services). An example would be having hundreds of dog breeds that you want to organize and display differently.
Enhancement or Modification of the device firmware or hardware
- This means that you take certain functions of the phone, such as the alarm, camera, or flash, and make it better.
Fully dynamic apps
- Similar to the database driven apps, these apps are the kind that rely purely on external information.
Custom utilities
- These are apps that are geared towards allowing the user to input content in a specific way.

Fishawy, Hind and the Sheikhs
Sorry if I offended anyone in my last post, I just had to let it out of my system (isn't blogging just great:). If you're offended, just don't take it personally, and you can always think of yourself as the exception to the generalizations I make. Actually, just reading the comments now, people seem to have taken it much better than I thought they would. Maybe I'm wrong about Arabs after all! Probably not, I think bloggers are just very special people ;)
Anyway, here's a lighter post.
In today's Friday sermon, the Imam briefly mentioned how people are talking about "scandals" so frequently and so publicly, that it looks like its an attempt to make such scandals a norm in our society. He obviously was implying the famous story about Ahmed ElFishawy and Hind, which was the topic of this week's Hadeeth AlMadeena ("Talk of the Town") show and Elbeit Beitak on TV.
I kind of agree with him actually. Somethings are better left as taboos, or better, be talked about in abit of a more constructive manner, especially when in a public medium. We're not supposed to talk about our sins, and those guys are up on public television bragging about their daughter spending the nights out, and getting pregnant from Fishawy, and how she didn't sin because they were secretly married (how can it be a marriage if in secret?!). This is definetely not a unique case, quite a number of boys and girls sleep together and have premarital sex, and some girls get pregnant and get abortion, and some girls get that pre-wedding night operation. We all know it, and its good to discuss it in a constructive manner. But to get the girl, and her parents on TV and have them brag about her having pre-marital or semi-marital (whatever that would be called) productive sex, as if its of any benefit to us to hear that stuff, is just too much. I actually didn't watch the program, but I heard about some of its content, so I might not be very accurate here.
So why is this story becoming so public? I guess part of it is that the boy and the girl are famous. But also, that ElFishawy seems to have recently taken a more religious direction in his life, involved in a religious show, and being close to Amr Khaled. Ok, that would make it more interesting, the guy who is presenting an image of being religious is involved in a sex scandal. People just love that. People also love it when there are rumors (or true stories) about sheikhs involved in scandals as well. Some get really dissapointed, "I used to really like this guy", and some people find an attacking point, "Didn't I tell you all sheikhs are no good".
But I beg to differ with both. Why do we assume that a sheikh, or a religious scholar must be sinless?! Humans are by definition flawed. The sheikh knows more about our religion and is taking it as a career, but no one said that they should be role models. I'll go ask him for information and for fatwas, but I won't necessarily do like they do. They have more information, so they might have a better chance of doing better, and being closer to God, and maybe just by spending most of their time researching God's religion they are probably closer to God already. But that still doesn't make them role models. God created humans to sin, repent, and then ask Him for forgiveness. He already has angels. Those sheikhs are definetely not the prophet, neither are they the prophet's companions, or anything close to them (there are definetely exceptions however).
One of my all-time favorite Quran reciters is Mohammed Jebril. He was also involved in some scandalous story (rumor or not I don't know) involving a woman. I just don't care, he's still my favorite reciter, and I still love listening to his reading.
Now for the sheikhs that artificially make themselves role models, and keep judging people for their actions in their personal lives. I think these sheikhs are worth talking about what they do, and they should take a good look at themselves in the mirror before they judge other people.

British biologist Richard Dawkins has made a name for himself defending evolution and fighting what he sees as religiously motivated attacks on science. Dr. Dawkins sat down with Beliefnet at the World Congress of Secular Humanism, where his keynote address focused on intelligent design.
You're concerned about the state of education, especially science education. If you were able to teach every person, what would you want people to believe?
I would want them to believe whatever evidence leads them to; I would want them to look at the evidence, judge it on its merits, not accept things because of internal revelation or faith, but purely on the basis of evidence.
Not everybody can evaluate all evidence; we can't evaluate the evidence for quantum physics. So it does have to be a certain amount of taking things on trust. I have to take what physicists say on trust, for example, because I'm a biologist. But science [has] a system of appraisal, of peer review, so that I trust the physics community to get their act together in a way that I know from the inside. I wish people would put their trust in evidence, not in faith, revelation, tradition, or authority.
What do you wish people knew about evolution?
|Dawkins on Design
Listen to clips from Dawkins' recent speech:
The Flaws in the Argument from Design
There Is an Alternative to Chance
The Faulty Logic of 'Irreducible Complexity'
Creationists Adore Gaps in the Fossil Record
Evolution and Theism Are Incompatible
Audio provided courtesy of the World Congress of Secular Humanism
That is staggering ignorance of what evolutionary science is about; if they think that's what evolutionists believe, no wonder they're skeptical of it.How can a civilized country have adult people in positions of leadership who know so stunningly little about the leading biological concept?
You said in a recent speech that design was not the only alternative to chance. A lot of people think that evolution is all about random chance.
That's ludicrous. That's ridiculous. Mutation is random in the sense that it's not anticipatory of what's needed. Natural selection is anything but random. Natural selection is a guided process, guided not by any higher power, but simply by which genes survive and which genes don't survive. That's a non-random process. The animals that are best at whatever they do-hunting, flying, fishing, swimming, digging-whatever the species does, the individuals that are best at it are the ones that pass on the genes. It's because of this non-random process that lions are so good at hunting, antelopes so good at running away from lions, and fish are so good at swimming.
There are intelligent people who have been taught good science and evolution, and who may choose to believe in something religious that may seem to fly in the face of science. What do you make of that?
It's certainly hard to know what to make of it.I think it's a betrayal of science. I think they have a religious agenda which, for reasons best known to themselves, they elevate above science.
What are your thoughts about the despair some people feel when they ponder natural selection and random mutation? The idea of evolution and natural selection makes some people feel that everything is meaningless--people's individual lives and life in general.
If it's true that it causes people to feel despair, that's tough. It's still the truth. The universe doesn't owe us condolence or consolation; it doesn't owe us a nice warm feeling inside. If it's true, it's true, and you'd better live with it.

Most of the quilt is made with the Lumiere de Noel line. We also threw in any of the remaining prints we had from prior French General collections and a few other reds that were on hand. This was quilted by a friend, Marilyn, who works at the shop. Then I put the binding on and took the pictures.
It was kind of a cool, overcast day. I loved the clouds hovering over the mountains. At the end of September we were still having 90 degree weather – which I actually didn't mind. Suddenly a week of cool, rainy weather blew in and it suddenly felt like real fall. (Or Autumn if you live in the rest of the English speaking world. When I lived in England I remember being teased for saying "Fall" – so now I'm always a little conscious of that fact.) Whatever you like to call it, it's my favorite time of year.

Al Raihe`s banker in Meydan feature
Commercial Bank of Dubai is the generous sponsor of a quality card at Meydan this Thursday evening highlighted by three cracking conditions races.
The feature is the 1600m Attijari Points Rewards Program and Zain Shamardal will bid to continue the amazing start made to the season by Champion Trainer Ali Rashid Al Raihe and stable jockey Royston Ffrench.
A 1900m winner at the first Meydan meeting of the campaign, he drops back in trip but did win over 1600m in the United Kingdom and the trainer said: "He ran well at Jebel Ali first time and we were very hopeful he would win last time and he did it well. This is clearly a step up in class but he is only a three-year-old and hopefully has more to offer."
The three-year-olds are well represented and Musabah Al Muhairi introduces Happy Today, like Zain Shamardal owned by Jaber Abdulla, to the UAE having won of his five starts in the Great Britain.
He will be ridden by Wayne Smith who said: "He is a nice new horse in the yard who has some good form in the UK. He has not raced on [the All-Weather surface] but seems to handle it at home. He will improve from the run and we will find out a lot about him."
Doug Watson trains Famous Warrior, a course and distance winner last season who is making his seasonal return. Tadhg O`Shea, who won on him in February, retains the ride.
Canwinn won over course and distance at the last Meydan fixture and represents the Dhruba Selvaratnam/James Doyle partnership who enjoyed a treble on that evening and have remained in good form since.
Al Raihe`s Happy Dubai heads the weights in the 1200m Al Dana Wealth Management after an excellent campaign last season. He looks certain to be a popular Pick Six selection with Ffrench aboard, though he does have to give weight to all his 10 rivals and Barbecue Eddie under Richard Hills looks a big danger.
Al Muhairi`s Russian Rock ran well at Jebel Ali last week and is another to consider, while the Satish Seemar-trained Reynaldothewizard won over course and distance on his return to action last year and should go close under Richard Mullen.
Racing opens with the only Purebred Arabian race on the card, the Mazrat Al Ruwayah Prep Sponsored By Commercial Bank Of Dubai. Over 1600m, 11 have been declared and looks absolutely wide open with most of the field holding some kind of chance.
Watson saddles Paris Gagner and Kandar Du Falgas, both owned by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, and retained jockey Richard Hills chooses to ride the latter.
Ernst Oertel has three in the race for His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al Nahyan, with Ted Durcan`s mount Time Out looking the stable`s first string ahead of Frysk Me Now.
His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan is also triple handed with the Eric Lemartinel-tarined Raked set to carry the first colours. That horse will be ridden by Champion Jockey Wayne Smith.
The owner`s other two runners, Badad and Jarnin cannot be ruled out, along with Jinad, the mount of Royston Ffrench for Jameel Salman.

http://www.ysartglass.com/Ysart/DominicP.htmOne way to build up a good and inexpensive collection is to buy examples with annealing cracks. These remain relatively cheap, and after all were commonplace during production runs; they are not the result of post-production abuse or accident. These are very display-able and enable the collector to amass a big collection cheaply.
it seems to me that any cracks that occur after production should not be referred to as annealing cracks.
Might not the vibration, or any heat induced by the drilling, actually make the crack grow? With the imperfections and inherent stresses in the glass might not the crack even bypass the holes drilled successfully by the restorer? The concept sounds somewhat Heath-Robinson, not to say drastic, to me. Does it adhere to Museum practice?

Besides the Weather, What Will Drive Corn Prices in 2013?
Plus: Today the Teucrium Corn ETF is up.
Editor's Note: This content was originally published on Benzinga.com by Tim Parker.
Dennis Gartman, editor of The Gartman Letter, told CNBC's Fast Money last week that agricultural commodity prices will hinge largely on rainfall in 2013.
Blackstone Advisory Partners Vice Chairman Byron Wien also believes corn prices will be linked to climate; Wien predicted that climate change would contribute to widespread crop failures and send prices significantly higher to $8 per bushel.
However, factors other than the weather also play a role in commodity prices. Current high corn prices are leading farmers in South America and the Ukraine to plant more acres. This could affect prices worldwide, Agriculture.com notes.
According to Informa Economics, US farmers will plant 99 million acres of corn in 2013. This is the highest acreage since the 1930s and a 12% increase over 2010. North Dakota farmers alone will plant 1 million acres more than last year's estimates. However, a lack of adequate seed may lower these planting estimates.
China may play a larger role in corn demand this year. Richard Probasco, Vice President of Sales for D&E Equipment in Wilmington, Ohio, a supplier of grain handling and storage equipment, adds, "China is a huge consumer of US grains. If their needs change based on weather, politics, or changes in consumer spending, it could easily impact the price of corn."
Probasco pointed to a January 10 report by the US Grains Council that, for the first time in history, showed China will produce more corn than rough rice.
This change, first hinted in an earlier US Department of Agriculture's World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimate, is a result of the growing affluence of the Chinese middle class and a resulting desire for a protein-rich diet.
The Grains Council report says the USDA's upward revision of Chinese corn production projections by 300 million bushels illustrates how the economic trends of the world's most populous country could create opportunities for well-positioned corn producers, according to the National Corn Growers Association.
Sal Gilbertie, Teucrium Funds analyst, reacting to Friday's USDA Crop Production and Grain Stocks Reports, said that the report confirms global consumption of all grains last crop year will exceed production by nearly 31 million tons, solidifying the notion that demand for grains even in the higher priced environment of the past year is strong.
"Global corn use is projected higher primarily due to higher feed numbers in the US. Global corn stocks are also projected to decline, led by the US corn carry-out at especially low levels," Gilbertie said.
End users of corn will be hoping for a repeat of last year's early planting season to ease concerns of mid and late-summer supply shortages, he said.
March corn futures are up sharply this morning on the back of Friday's reports. The Teucrium Corn ETF (NYSEARCA:CORN) is also up more than 0.6% in early trading.

ClearStory Data is a big data startup launched this week that has lot going for it: its founders, its VC backers, and its cool technology.
ClearStory uses technology from Google to help companies make sense of the massive amount of data they already have stored in many different systems.
This lets companies get new insights from data that was previously ignored -- like Starbucks combining sales and weather data to figure out whether lattes are selling in warm weather.
The company's co-founder and CEO Sharmila Shahani-Mulligan always seems to be at the start of something big.
Shahani launched her career with a startup called Kiva Software, bought by Netscape for $180 million in 1997. She stayed with Marc Andreessen through his next company, Opsware, finally landing at HP after it bought Opsware for $1.6 billion.
Next, she joined Aster Systems, which Teradata bought for $263 million last year. Along the way she dabbled in a bunch of other startups, as an advisor or investor.
After all that, she wanted to slow down and hang out with her family and three kids.
But she and the ClearStory co-founders, John Cieslewicz and Vaibhav Nivargi, had this nagging idea.
The three had worked together at Aster and often heard customers complain about the big problem with big data: how could they tap into the massive amounts of data companies already had?
"I saw that there were interesting things going on with Hadoop. A lot of people were downloading it but they couldn't use it. It was too complicated to set up," she recalls.
What people really want is to run queries against data "in lots of different places … Hadoop, Aster, legacy systems and the Web," she says.
ClearStory Data was born. Using MapReduce technology created by Google, it can run queries from data wherever it sits, then outputs answers in a pretty, visual report.
Karim Faris from early backer Google Ventures explains the appeal.
"Enterprises have already been collecting tons of data. They never thought of getting insight from it because it's too much of a pain to extract anything from it," he said.
"I was shocked to find out that the data is not just ignored but often discarded. It hides a treasure trove of insights. The classic example is Starbucks and combining sales data with weather data. Is my latte selling well in warm weather?"
A tool like ClearStory Data can turn that data from trash to insights. Faris wouldn't say how big a business opportunity he thinks ClearStory is, but he did say Google Ventures only invests in companies that have the potential to be big, standalone public companies.
ClearStory Data's other backers include Andreessen Horowitz, Khosla Ventures, and a number of individual investors.

Every year I wait eagerly for the fig season. I find this gorgeous fruit utterly fascinating, delicate and glamorous. It makes me happy just to see them appearing in stores and markets, and I instantly start thinking of recipes to use them for. There is no wrong way of enjoying this fruit: it's delicious on its own complexity, it pairs wonderfully with honey and nuts and it is the Queen of any cheese platter.
This simple dish doesn't ask for anything else but good ingredients - fresh figs are essential. I love the softness pared with quinoa and the crunchy pistachios, and the natural sweetness of the figs and raw honey. Rose petals are such an easy way to make any dish that little bit extra special.
Preheat the oven to 180C. Place the figs in a small over proof dish and cut a cross section on top of each fruit. Gently open the fig and place the goat cheese into the cut. Drizzle with honey and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the goat cheese and the figs have softened.
While the figs are in the oven, rinse the quinoa and place in a saucepan. Cover with water, bring to boil and cook for about 10 minutes or until cooked through. Drain out any extra liquid, then spoon into small dishes.
Sprinkle the figs with chopped pistachios and spoon over any extra honey left on the dish. Place the figs on top of the quinoa and sprinkle with rose petals.

And I am even on board with the general idea that we don't suddenly learn how to care about Broader Impacts (BI) when we become faculty and need to put something in a grant proposal. This is something that should be learned along the way, and grad students should be aware of these other elements of research, including the importance of communicating research results to a broad audience and considering the education/training aspects of research as part of the overall "impact" of the work.
Where is this post heading? Am I about to complain/whine about getting bad reviews for the broader impacts component of a proposal? No, not this time.
Instead, I am going to opine that, although graduate students should start learning about broader impacts (what they are, why they are important), we should not expect that students will have much experience with BI during their student years. I am talking/complaining about overly severe expectations that students will have impressive BI credentials, e.g., when writing their own grant proposals to NSF or other funding agencies with BI-like components.
Certainly there are BI activities that grad students can do as part of their research, and many do these routinely (e.g., mentor undergrads, visit schools). That's great, but from what I've seen recently, it's not considered enough by some reviewers and panels.
I don't think that's fair to the students. We expect a lot from grad students in terms of research and communicating research results (publishing, going to conferences); there's a lot to learn and a lot to do. Right now, expecting serious BI participation from students seems like adding time and effort without changing the number of hours in the day. Oh yes, and we also want to get the time-to-degree statistics for grad students down at our institutions.
Is it just me, or have others noticed that BI expectations are quite stringent even for student proposals?
There should be a way to teach students about BIs, encourage them to be involved and contribute their ideas and energy (as time permits) to BI activities (keeping in mind, of course, that the students themselves are BIs for their advisors), but that expectations should be reasonable for what students can and should be doing at this stage of their careers.

Iran is stepping up arms shipments to Syria. It has trained and funded 50,000 Lebanese Hezbollah fighters. And it has Russia as a political umbrella in the U.N, according to recent reports.
While it sends fuel, money and weapons to Assad, Moscow argues in the U.N. that support for legitimate governments — i.e. Syria — does not go against international arms trade laws.
The main mode of supply comes from civilian airliners flying into Iran, bringing with them a weekly 5-ton shipment of weapons, according to recent western intelligence reports.
Without Russia or China on board in the Security Council, international inspectors cannot stop these aircraft.
Iran's own inspectors swear that there's no weapons on those flights, and Russia says the Kremlin is only supplying anti-missile air defense systems and not any offensive weapons.
According to Reuters, who saw the western intelligence report, the weapons flowing into the ravaged country range from communication equipment to small arms and advanced strategic weapons:
"The more sophisticated gear includes parts for various hardware such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), shore-to-sea missiles and surface-to-surface ballistic missiles (SSMs)," the report said. "Other weapons are being used by Syrian security forces, pro-Assad shabbiha militiamen, and Lebanese Hezbollah."
At this point, Syria has devolved into a gigantic proxy playground, with at least 15 entities, both state and private, backing one side or the other — making war-bucks or gaining political currency in the process.
Josh Rogin of Foreign Policy compiled a list today, one which might surprise even a casual follower of the conflict.
The list includes:
— Russia: money, fuel, weapons
— Iran: money, fuel, weapons (and fighters)
— North Korea: missile technology, technical assistance
— Venezuela and Angola have provided fuel
— Private entities in Georgia, Lebanon, Cyprus, Italy, South Africa and the UAE have provided various support
While the U.S. only admits to offering non-military support to the rebels, it could be pulling strings with allies Saudia Arabia and Qatar, who are believed to be providing weapons support to the rebels, according to CNN.
In addition to the United Nations, European Union law blocks arms trade with non-governmental actors. Russia touts this in its defense of Syria.
From a Deutsche Welle report:
[Russia] has repeatedly blocked resolutions against the government of President Bashar al-Assad at the United Nations. Several nations have called for the Security Council to take action over the crackdown that has followed the rebellion.
High-ranking officials from both France and Britain have come out against the the EU's arms embargo, according to a Guardian report, with one UK official saying, "The regime is getting help. The extremists are getting help. The moderates are not."
Russia argues in the U.N. that its support falls along established, legitimate international laws on the arms trade. It also argues correctly that support for non-state actors within a state violates those same trade laws.
According to a January New York Times report, Russia has a lot to lose if the U.S. begins openly arming rebels. It's been arguing for years against America's form of military and political interventionism — so losing in the U.N. would legitimize American efforts.
From the report:
Moscow does not believe the U.N. Security Council should be in the business of endorsing the removal of a sitting government.
The Kremlin has issued three U.N. Security Council vetoes, bent over backward to water down the Geneva Communiqué calling for a peaceful transition of authority, and fastidiously avoided joining the call for Assad to step down.
They wouldn't just lose Assad as an intelligence and military sharing neighbor — indeed even a loyal customer— but they'd lose political clout in the international community.
Now, as the death toll has reached 70,000, Moscow is ostensibly pulling out all stops to keep western bodies from outwardly arming rebels. At that point, with its open support for Assad, Russia and the west would find themselves locked in a very public, very messy proxy war.

Ian McEwan's "Sweet Tooth" tells the story of a young woman, Serena Frome, who graduates from Cambridge in the early 1970s and enters the working world. Since Frome's employer happens to be MI5, the working world, in her case, is the world of espionage and covert intelligence.
A young woman's recruitment by MI5 could easily have been the setup for a James Bond-type thriller, but "Sweet Tooth" isn't that kind of book; you won't find any high-tech gadgets or plots hatched by implausibly brilliant, implacably evil villains between these covers. Indeed, it really isn't clear who the villains in this book are, or whether it has any. Perhaps things would be easier for Frome if this were clear. But at this point in her life, nothing is either easy or clear.
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
Like many people caught in the act of transforming from a child into an adult, Frome is perhaps more adult on the outside than on the inside. To the rest of the world, she looks like a woman — and a beautiful woman at that, a fact that affects her prospects in ways both pleasant and troubling. On the inside, things are more complicated. She is a voracious reader, yet she is educationally underdeveloped in many areas — her ignorance of history is a particular weakness, until her lover and mentor, Tony Canning, forces her to correct it — and prone to serious lapses in taste, telling her college friends at one point that Jacqueline Susann's "Valley of the Dolls" is "as good as anything Jane Austen ever wrote."
Most of all, and like so many recent college graduates, she simply seems unformed, incomplete. She does not yet know who she is or what she wants; for the most part, she seems content to be carried along by the people and events that surround her.
"I was easily led," Frome tells us about herself, in an act of impressive understatement. Although she would like to "read English at Durham or Aberystwyth, where I am sure I would have been happy," she instead follows her mother's orders and enrolls as a mathematics student at Cambridge. She performs fairly poorly there — she is, she tells us, a "mediocrity" at mathematics — and, on graduating, is recruited to MI5 by the aforementioned Canning. Canning is Frome's father's age, and the fact that his age and authority remind her of her father, an Anglican bishop whom she usually refers to as "the Bishop," often seems to be what she likes most about him. By the time Frome is ensconced in the intelligence service, he has dumped her and gone. Not too long after that she receives news that he is dead and begins to wonder about the precise circumstances of his death.
Known for being an enthusiast of contemporary literature, Frome is eventually given a special assignment, in connection with a project called "Sweet Tooth." It turns out to be a grant program whose goal is to influence the cultural conversation in England by giving financial aid to up-and-coming writers creating work critical of communism and sympathetic to Western governments and free market capitalism. Of course, the true source of the support has to be kept secret, for what self-respecting writer would knowingly take money that had ideological strings attached?
So Frome is charged with bringing a young fiction writer named Tom Haley onboard, without being able to reveal the true nature of the program, and thus of her own work. If she has moral qualms about this, she gives little evidence of being troubled by them. Nor do they keep her, in one of the novel's more predictable turns, from becoming Haley's lover. Then again, Frome does not seem to choose her lovers: They choose her, or rather the world chooses them for her.
Some readers may be frustrated by Frome's passivity, but she seems to me a real and recognizable human being, the sort of character who is defined largely by her lack of character, who reads the world around her as neutrally and dispassionately as she reads the novels that are her main entertainment. At any rate, the pleasures of "Sweet Tooth" don't depend on our liking its protagonist; the book is strongest in its discerning observation, keenly conveyed atmosphere and well-constructed paragraphs. The novel hums along very pleasantly indeed, calmly but obstinately resisting the conventions of the spy story genre, and it is a welcome relief to read a book whose every plot swerve cannot be predicted 20 or so pages in advance.
This is not to say that the book is entirely without flaws. The ending, in particular, is a bit of a letdown: After a certain point, the plot has nowhere to go, and the final chapters feel like a windup toy winding down. Frome's fall from grace has been foretold from the very first paragraph, and the one revelation that is meant as a genuine surprise feels simultaneously implausible and not surprising enough. Still, the first three-quarters or so of "Sweet Tooth" are enjoyable and do a nice job of capturing a difficult and anxious era in recent British history.
Buried in the book, about two thirds of the way through, is a strikingly lovely chapter in which Serena goes home to be with her family for Christmas. This chapter could have been a short story in its own right, though the surrounding context — the fact, for instance, that she has had to hide the true nature of her work from her parents — does render it more poignant. It is a perfect piece of writing and may well linger in many readers' minds long after the novel's somewhat unsatisfying final pages have been forgotten.
Troy Jollimore is the author of two books of poetry, "Tom Thomson in Purgatory" and "At Lake Scugog," as well as of two philosophical books, "Love's Vision" and the forthcoming "On Loyalty."

The standard Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) subcontext for JavaMail sessions is java:comp/env/mail.
Registering JavaMail sessions in the mail naming subcontext of a JNDI namespace, or in one of its child subcontexts, is standard. The JNDI namespace is hierarchical, like a file system's directory structure, so it is easy to find and nest references. A JavaMail session is bound to a logical JNDI name. The name identifies a subcontext, mail, of the root context, and a logical name. To change the JavaMail session, you can change its entry in the JNDI namespace without having to modify the application.
The resource lookup in the application code looks like this:
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(); String snName = "java:comp/env/mail/MyMailSession"; Session session = (Session)ic.lookup(snName);
For more information about the JNDI API, see Chapter 16, Using the Java Naming and Directory Interface.

Jennifer Lopez Biography
Jennifer Lopez was born in July 1969 with parents originally from Portorico, Jennifer Lopez grew up in Bronx in New York, a poor and difficult district which forged her character to be strong. As a teenager she was passionate about dance and the comedy, she takes part in several musical spectacles while going to film castings. Having some appearances in several Hollywood productions, she was strongly pointed out for her role in the movie Selena which gave her in 1997 a nomination for the Goldens Globe then received praises from critics for her acting at the side of George Clooney in a Steven Soderbergh's "Out of Sigh". It is in 1999 when Jennifer Lopez joins again with her first loves: dance and music, by publishing her first album On The Six, a pop disc with latino sound which gained an international success followed in 2001 by the J-Lo album which invades the charts whole world. Cultivating an unique image as well in her clips as in her films, Jennifer Lopez, which is called "Latina Bomb" continues to carry out with an obvious success a career in the cinema and the music.

Actually the state of NC has no say after 3 miles. The Outer Continental Shelf is governed by the Federal government, and offshore energy leases are specifically managed by the Bureau of Offshore Energy Management (BOEM) a division of the Department of the InteriorI dont live in Hatteras or even NC and this decision is totally up to the residents of those islands.
2.Outer Continental Shelf (seaward of 3 nautical miles from shore): the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act of 1953 (43 U.S.C.A. 1331 et seq.), passed in coordination with the Submerged Lands Act, confirmed federal jurisdiction over the resources beyond three nautical miles from shore and created a legal process for developing those resources (such as oil and gas)
Actually everything I stated is correct and most of Johnny Rotten's description is incorrect. The photo is clearly displaying wake turbulence as I stated. However, it was scientist/engineers from Lawrence Livermore Laboratory who pointed this out. You may see the article on wake turbulence here with the caption under that photo of "Normally invisible, wind wakes take shape in the clouds behind the Horns Rev offshore wind farm west of Denmark."SSK I'm not sure what you are trying to show with the contrails.
given the right conditions a pressure differential will result in condensation. Wind turbines obtain their drive by using a foil to produce a pressure differential to drive their rotation. In extreme humidity their bound to produce condensation. With falling pressure or temperature, the condensation would not have sufficient energy to overcome the latent heat of vaporization and would not be reabsorbed for quite some time (if at all) The photo does not indicate large scale turbulence or pressure disruption outside of the immediate wind farm area just a bunch of selective air particals made visible and then mixed around by rotating blades. Take a bunch of smoke machines and spin em around in circles in front of a few low speed fans and the visual effect would be somewhat similar
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... 151040.htm
It is incorrect, to suggest that the disturbed area would be contained and limited to the height of the rotor. The disturbed area will spread out, and as other studies have shown that is all the way to the water surface.Guys, the hub height on most serious offshore turbines is 70-80m with an 80m diameter. That means the wake is 30m-40m in the air. (ie higher than your kite)
You can see a good image of that here
http://www.nrel.gov/energysciences/csc/ ... imulations
I agree, and I do not think anyone was complaining throughout this whole thread, and no one said it was a bad thing. This thread was only a discussion of the theoretical possibility of some kind of effect downwind of a large wind farm. At 6 miles could there be an effect? The answer is a definite maybe depending on size, type, number, etc. But this is not to say that for kiters the effect would be bad or even noticeable. We know that it can effect the climate and wind in the local area, and a lot is still to be learned. We know these effects can go kilometers to miles downwind.Anyone that would complain about a Wind-Farm that's gonna be 6-miles away and up wind of his kite-spot, is a bit self-centered and really couldn't care about anyone else living on the planet other than himself
We also known the it is not just wake effect but other climatic changes such as pressure, temperature, and density and this too can cover a large areaWhile the distance the wake effect extends is still a matter of debate, experts agree that downwind wake effect from an individual commercial wind turbine can persist for a minimum distance of eight to ten times the turbine's rotor diameter (equaling up to more than half a mile)and can persist even longer where turbulence is low, such as in offshore locations. Some experts even estimate that wake effect continues even longer, possibly extending several kilometers.
Dr. Roy says, "It's something like the wake from the propeller of a boat. Now this added turbulences mixes air up and down and creates a warming and drying effect near the ground." He says the affects can be felt for miles.
However, it is unlikely that even if there was some bad localized effects for kiting that anyone who lives or kites on OBX would complain much. The most pressing issue on the OBX is probably the erosion of the island. This drives politics, economics, and environmental decisions. The rate that the islands are shrinking is pretty shocking and is a result of natural processes, but have been exasperated by man made activities/decisions. This is even further exasperated by an increase in the rate of sea level rise. Pea Island which is the gateway to the prime kiting locations on the OBX is likely to be gone in many places within our lifetime. If you believe in a tie between sea level rise and carbon emissions, then I surely doubt you would fight the development of any windfarm that could effect your kite spot on OBX. Because if there is no island left then you do not have a kite spot. For those who spend time in OBX I strongly recommend reading Dr Stanley Riggs "Battle for the North Carolina Coast"
http://www.amazon.com/The-Battle-North- ... 0807834866
or any of his articles on line. He is the leading expert on NC coastal dynamics. It is pretty eye opening to see aerial photos from the 1930s overlayed with the current photos, and see how much of the island has been lost. You may come see how we have made and are making some bad policy decisions.

The Artist's Servants
Hogarth painted other life-sized portraits, including a few of the Royal Family, but at this kind of work he was not a commercial success. One of the reasons - perhaps the largest one - is not hard to see. His brush never lacked magic, but his preoccupation with middle-class morality got in its way. To almost all his sitters he gave the same smug, righteous, plain, honest look that can fairly be called Hogarth's "look of virtue". He awarded it to himself in his self-portraits and to women, including a duchess. Even children (and his dog!), were beneficiaries of this virtuous look. Unfortunately for Hogarth, not many noble patrons (the richest source of portrait money), and certainly few elegant 18th century women, wanted to look quite that homely or virtuous.

I've seen complaints on American blogs about the fuss made over King. Given that the previous hero of black liberation was John Brown, who was a terrorist, it seems rather odd to complain abut the non-terrorist King.

Re John Brown:
In the 19th century, intellectuals and others admired him as a freedom fighter and a martyr, not a terrorist. He took up arms against slavery, yes - but slavery is daily violence, including murder, on a massive scale.

Ah, Charley, just another fellow who's all for terrorism if it's in a cause he approves of. But all those causes are aproved of by someone.

It is somewhat accidental that I came back to your blog and saw that you are writing again. Let me belatedly say "welcome back!" and I will continue to check in. Tell Rich Hartmann to come back, too; as I saw you say that you keep in touch with him via e-mail.

Great to see everybody again and a special Hi to @Average Jane and @blindman.
FYI I recommend all dropping in on Steve Keen who is an Associate Professor at Western Sydney University, here in Australia. Steve is an academic but an Heretic when it comes to "Economic Theory" and can be found at http://www.debtdeflation.com - he is very refreshing indeed with his own generated charts (and video) to support his thesis.
At the present time the argument is about Australia's huge housing bubble and unaffordability, supported by yesterday's report release by Demographia: Not good.
I might add that Ireland is also interesting and the pressures mounting on all the Euro countries to maintain the now, bureaucratic wet-dream of the EU and EMU at any cost.
Should be a great and exciting year where I don't expect the US to last much after June 2011 at least, not by real influence.
Further, I am now convinced that the real 'economic theory' can only be established by attempting to determine 'Cui Bono', who is manipulating, where does the money flow and what is the ultimate objective of the FedRes, that is, if they have one - er, which I doubt.
The name of the game is: Total Moral Hazard, a priori.

Is this a class reunion???
Nice to see you at it LB!!!
I'll post something when I get a chance. ...or email you. (super busy)
Funny you brought up "accountability" I wrote an incomplete thought on it about 2 or 3 months ago. (tying Jul Assan to the US and how we handle him... "if you trample over laws and rights to "bring him to justice" then you have to be accountable for the means in which you do so. ...because you inherit a system where laws and rights no longer mean anything."
I still write... but no one gets to see it. I do it for myself. (Literally, I'd say I write nearly an article every other week, save it to my PC, and then never post it anywhere... because I don't feel like putting the time in to clean it up, edit it... or sometimes coordinate the discombolated rants into an article that would make sense.)
...I actually thought about posting them in a stagnant place like Seeking Alpha, and calling these unprofessional ramblings "Incomplete Thoughts - by RH/MA" ...but just haven't done so.

RH/MA, bless you for coming by too. I've missed your rantings.
PJB, apropos of your comment "cui bono," do you read Charles Hugh Smith's blog, "Of Two Minds"? He too writes about moral hazard and cui bono, indeed.
Guys, it is just so nice to see you again. I've been over at Zero Hedge for a while now (lurking only) but frankly the misogyny and overdone testosterone gets to me and I don't see nearly the level of intellectual discourse over there. Maybe we can get this going again with the guidance of our own beloved London Banker.

LB, with respect, I thought that I would paste my little post here for consideration of the old fellows:
The theme is a growing Global trend that actually I intend to follow up in more detail in due course:
It is called the 1st. Global Revolution:
From Zero Hedge:
I am amazed as to just how similar is our thinking and how fast things are now moving and accelerating.
Marc Faber says: "... not a group of thinkers in Davos, but a group of liars."
More Iceland Bankers arrested:
On the TV news I heard that the investigation was widened right into the Central Bank of Iceland.
Iceland's economy and socio-economy is doing exceptionally well since they resisted the advanced of the institutional broom pushers, and so much so, as they jail the guilty, which appear to be all Bankers, countries like Ireland will indeed take note of the advantages of the Rule of Law, applied to the wealthy and elite, while ignoring overtures and ddribble driven wet dreams of euro-crats, et al.
From Tunisia I heard that the Central Bank had admitted that 1.5 Tons (tonnes?) was missing from its vaults (which was reported to have followed the "dear-leader's" entourage and from
Cairo, some 50+ crates found (at the airport?) were being investigated and rumored as containing Gold Bullion. The Internet in Egypt has been shut down by Authorities. Said to be en-route to London:-)
My opinion has been since the Roubini days that we are experiencing a global "leadership" crisis (GLC)- brought about by a fatally flawed monetary, financial, fiscal, economic system system which is based on a 1. pseudo faith-based "economic-theory", 2. Usury, which has been known for circa 3 millennium to centralize and granulate production to the blessed few and 3. a banking system which breeds not only moral-hazard but the absolute corruption of the resultant developed, but eagerly willing, parasitic and sycophantic relationship of the banker and "leader"cabal.
The trend is now for a Global Revolution - the losers are the influential elites including primarily bankers, politicians, bureaucrats and their faithful while the winners will be, the youth of today, our Youth, ie, those, and their children, we expect to pay our bills.
Let us hope that the killings are kept to a minimum and the insane are kept far away from the WMD that they unfortunately control.

Excellent rant, MA. Accountability indeed [snort]. There just seems to be a nagging feeling of dread out there in the Middle Class. Something's askew in the world; I can feel it in my bones. We need truth tellers now more than ever, so keep up the good words and good works.

Wow! Now that RH/MA is here in the comments I guess the pressure is really on to make this the sort of forum that keeps us all engaged and excited again.
I'm writing a piece now that will be up before the end of the week. There's so much going on that it's hard to choose topics, so maybe some shorter pieces too.
You all have no idea what your loyalty means to me. Cheers!

Glue-sniffing kids inspired Shakira to give back to the youth of her hometown in Colombia.
The singer launched her Pies Descalzos Foundation when she started tasting success in her late teens and the charity has helped to build six schools in her homeland – and it's all thanks to desperate kids she remembers from her upbringing.
She explains, "When I was eight, my father went bankrupt. As a result, we lost our air conditioner. It's crazy hot in Barranquilla, my hometown – usually 95 degrees.
"When I complained, my parents took me to a local park where orphans were sniffing glue to quell their hunger. It made a lasting impression on me, and I promised myself that, once I achieved success, I would do something for those kids who apparently had no chance in life."
