The Rise and Fall of Fannie Mae: A Timeline
Dec 24th 2010 9:00AM
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were in the news a lot this year. For starters, there was the presidential summit in August, to solicit ideas for what to do with the ailing government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs for short). That was followed by midterm-election wrangling over whether to replace the struggling mortgage giants... Continue Reading »

Network World - It's the time when predictions for the new year run high, and when it comes to IT security, Gartner analysts are predicting that 2013 is going to be about expansion of cloud computing and the struggle by the enterprise to achieve appropriate security for it.
MORE: Gartner's state of cloud security: Outages are bigger risk than breaches
MORE: Gartner: How big trends in security, mobile, big data and cloud computing will change IT
MORE: Gartner: 10 critical IT trends for the next five years
"Increased adoption of cloud-based computing is expected to impact the way security is consumed as well as how key government agencies will prioritize security of public cloud infrastructure," was the take from Gartner analysts Ruggero Contu, Lawrence Pingree, and Eric Ahlm in their predictions forecast.
Gartner predicts by 2015, 10% of overall IT security enterprise capabilities will be delivered in the cloud, with the focus today clearly on messaging, Web security and remote vulnerability assessment. However, there's also the expectation there will be more on the way, such as data-loss prevention, encryption, authentication available too as technologies aimed to support cloud computing mature.
Gartner anticipates the acceleration of change in cloud-based security will likely "threaten" some traditional business relationships that IT security providers have with their value-added resellers, for example. But the overall trend will lead to more managed security services providers through cloud delivery. Not surprisingly, a high level of merger and acquisition activity related to cloud-security start-ups and established players is predicted to be seen throughout 2013.
The U.S. federal government is moving along with its so-called FedRamp Program to accommodate external federal cloud services adoption, and this will also create conditions for growing use by federal agencies, Gartner notes. New compliance regimes are expected to take shape with standards defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, among others. Gartner expects that by 2016, all of this will even lead to public-cloud infrastructure becoming subject to "critical national infrastructure regulations" by the U.S.
The downside to growing cloud use by many, however, Gartner notes, is that failures in service availability, as has already been seen to happen in the past few years, could bring a "cascade" effect that would impact many thousands of organizations.
But Gartner's predictions on IT security weren't only about cloud computing and IT security. Virtualization of networks is a continuing transformation and Gartner predicts by 2015, 20% of the VPN/firewall market will be deployed as a virtual switch on a hypervisor rather than as a physical security appliance.
"VMware's edge firewall could expand virtual switch firewall adoption to beyond just the data center," Gartner's 2013 predictions report surmises. "To date, the virtual firewall market has been limited to data-center-class firewalls, which make up the minority of the total firewall market. A push from the virtual providers to bring their technology to the edge could be a key accelerator to the virtual switch market growth."

The room we had was A LOT smaller than I expected. Although nicely appointed and clean.Overall, I think the hotel has dropped in caliber. There are many people spilling over from the casino in the lobby, etc. and it just brings down the ambiance. The staff at the lobby bar were less than friendly and slow with the service. We asked for hot cocoa and got a powdered mix in a paper cup. (A far cry from a couple years ago when we got it in fancy glass mugs with whipped cream and were also entertained by a pianist playing Christmas songs in the lobby!) Worried what the next visit will be like...hopefully the Casino won't continue to infringe on this usually nice, classy, historical hotel. ... more

Our room was the cheapest, on the 8th floor, sounds high but the lobby is on the 6th and the 7th is meeting rooms and lounge / restaurant. We could hear lounge music at night while in the bathroom / tub but it wasn't terrible in the sleeping area. What impressed me most is that our room already had the crib set up - a real crib (small size but not a pack-n-play) and they had included for the first night anyway baby shampoo and outlet covers - it was so thoughtful. She loved walking to and fro around the room and looking out the window at the cars below. There was a mini bar but I would have preferred just a standard mini fridge so that we could keep our water and apple juice cool without worrying about my daughter getting into the alcohol. The valets were very nice if a bit pushy - we ended up street parking because our car is not very expensive and Cleveland parking is free on weekends rather than pay $*each time we come or go from the hotel.

Is Tiger's Comeback Real?
His personal foul-ups and physical ailments slowed the recovery of his golf game, but his Bay Hill win shows he is regaining his touch
Jeff Williams
From the Print Edition:
The Brains Behind Homeland, May/June 2012
When Tiger Woods sank a birdie putt on the 18th hole to win his own golf tournament last December, he looked a lot like the old Tiger, punching the air with a right uppercut, letting out a yell, strutting to the cup to retrieve that winning ball.
After all he had been through the past two years, the injuries, the personal meltdown of infidelity and divorce and to a lesser extent the change of coaches and the change of caddies, it could have been easy to say that his victory at the Chevron World Challenge, an unofficial event against a field of 17 other players, was the line of demarcation between Tiger 1.0 and Tiger 2.0.
Tiger 1.0 was the most dominant player of his generation, winning 71 PGA Tour titles, including 14 major tournaments, and a further 12 titles worldwide. He was stalking Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 majors, and the Golden Bear was resigned that he would have to give way to the roaring Tiger.
Now, in 2012, we have Tiger 2.0. At a highly worn age 36, several rungs down the ladder from his perennial perch as No. 1
in the world rankings, Tiger 2.0 was talking a confident game, but not exactly playing it. Then, at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at the Bay Hill Club and Lodge in Orlando, Florida, a few miles from his former home in Isleworth where his personal life and careeer came to a crashing halt, Tiger won again in convincing style.
Did that victory mean the older Tiger might occassionally roar, or the Tiger of old is back?
For more than two years we've seen him stumble with his game as he also attempted to reassemble his perosnal life. The start of the 2012 season tempted his fans. He had a chance to win at Abu Dhabi, but lost to Robert Rock's solid last round. He had a chance to win at the AT&T but played a miserable final round while rival and playing partner Phil Mickelson stomped all over him. He shot 62 on Sunday at the Honda Classic, finishing birdie-eagle for his lowest final roundever, but Rory McIlroy was too far ahead. Then at Doral in the WGC Cadillac Championship, a throbbing left Achilles tendon forced him to withdraw on the 12th hole and put his season in doubt. Until Bay Hill.
However, this still isn't the Tiger we knew, at least the Tiger we knew as a player. This isn't Tiger 1.0, invincible, invulnerable, infallible. This is Tiger 2.0, still the mysterious person and still capable of brilliance, but now fragile, and to the golf world he once ruled, beatable. It's the old Tiger, not the Tiger of old.
"For him to go back and win again, he'll have to figure out that he's a different person today than he was five years ago," said Nicklaus at the Honda Classic. "I was a different person when I was 25 years old than when I was 35 years old. I had to learn how to play. I didn't have the strength. I couldn't overpower the golf course. I've got great respect for Tiger's golf game, and I think he will be back."
Woods has come back with a new coach and a new caddy. He switched from Hank Haney to Sean Foley in 2010 and last year he switched from his big-time looper Steve Williams to the very well respected Joe LaCava, for more than two decades the caddie for Fred Couples. Until the Achilles incident at Doral, Woods had also seemed to come back healthy, and for him, health is the most critical issue.
He's had four knee surgeries dating back to 1994, and his Achilles issue stems from a rupture he suffered while jogging in December of 2008 while he was recovering from knee surgery following his one-legged win at the U.S. Open, his last major tournament victory. Woods missed a considerable stretch last year after pulling out of the Players Championship with a knee and Achilles problem after nine holes. It took him until the fall to go from rehabbing his body to rehabbing his game.

By Carl Nolte
On a Veterans Day tinged with remembered glory and sadness, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi helped dedicate a stunningly beautiful scenic overlook at the Presidio of San Francisco.
The site, on the edge of a forest of eucalyptus, overlooks the Presidio National Cemetery, the bay, the Golden Gate and the Marin Headlands.
'This beautiful place is a place to reflect, remember and honor the deeds of these soldiers,' Pelosi said. 'We can look out and see the Golden Gate Bridge, where they came home from the Pacific theater, and the cemetery where they were laid to rest.'
Pelosi, D-San Francisco, played a major role in converting the Presidio from an Army post to a national park. In Congress she also helped pass a number of bills to help veterans.
'We want every day to be Veterans Day,' she said.
Other speakers at Wednesday's ceremony praised the beauty and significance of the site, which is located on a hill between a small housing area called Washington Heights and the cemetery.
'There are 33,000 veterans and their families buried here,' said decorated war veteran Phil Gioia, one of the speakers. 'There are 35 recipients of the Medal of Honor. There are veterans of almost every war, police action, punitive expedition. They served at Antietam, Little Big Horn, the Great Wall of China, the Philippines, Mexico, Cuba, France, Korea and Vietnam.
'They had two principles in common: duty and sacrifice.'
Gioia himself served 10 years in the Army, including a stint at the Presidio. He is a combat veteran of the Vietnam War and received two Silver Stars, two Bronze Stars and two Purple Hearts.
Robert Hass, former poet laureate of the United States, read from 'The Young Dead Soldiers' a poem by Archibald MacLeish, who gave voice to the dead:
'They say: We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning. We were young, they say: We have died. Remember us.'
The words are carved on a low wall around the overlook.
Even the weather, a gray morning with a touch of November chill, played a role in the somber nature of the ceremony. There was a moment of silence at the end, then an Army officer played taps, the mournful sound of the bugle drifting through the trees that overlook the thousands of graves.
The overlook was made possible by a gift of $1 million from T. Robert and Katherine Burke, who said they were impressed by the serenity of the site.
Until the overlook was built, the hill on the south end of the National Cemetery was an obscure corner of the Presidio forest choked in underbrush with a dirt trail nearby. Now it is a small gem, an off-the-beaten path surprise. Even old soldiers who had spent years at the Presidio had never been there before.
'It really is a pretty spot,' said Pat Kaye, who works for the Presidio Trust, which now runs the former military post. Kaye said the new site is one of eight scenic overlooks being built in the Presidio; most will be linked by hiking and biking trails.
A few bicycle riders and walkers turned up at Wednesday's ceremonies, apparently startled to see Army officers in dress blues and camouflage uniforms talking to the speaker of the House of Representatives in what they have come to think of as a park.
But for retired Maj. Gen. Robert Menist, the park is almost home. His father, also a major general, commanded the 91st Reserve Division at the Presidio for many years. Before him, a great-uncle - an Army surgeon - was stationed at the Presidio, starting in 1899.

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

One of the biggest challenges for us moving away from an up-front design approach to a Agile / Scrum approach is figuring out the best way to incorporate the work of our visual designers into the collaboration.
We want designers to join in with the ongoing design and development in a way not too dissimilar to another developer (or developers joining as another designer). In order to do that we need to avoid the perils of: excess inventory, feature creep, and 'throwing pixel tweaks across the wall'.
We will walk through a few techniques to help keep the process lean and the collaboration flowing organically.
Traditional Designer / Developer collaboration using mock-ups
Traditionally, designers will create mock-ups representing how the application's UI will look at some point in the future. This work may be the culmination of wire frames, user testing, and several other forms for UX design methodologies. It may also involve developers during the early preparation.
Design mock-ups can take many forms. These mock-ups may be fully designed images that will be used for later pixel-perfect comparison. They may also be static HTML pages that will need to be made dynamic and integrated into the build. They may contain 'nice to have' features which can be used to discuss with developers and see what can fit into the current iteration. These mock-ups may be formal: used as a way to define a commitment of work, or they may be loose artifacts for idea generation and sizing of a project.
It may be blurry to a developer exactly what they represent- what are they signing up for?
Traditionally, there is an up front exchange between a designer and a developer where the developer gives estimates as to how long a particular design will take. There may be a couple of iterations in the mock-up to accommodate the feedback of the developer. After the developer agrees to a particular design, the design can be considered "signed off" and then is handed off to the developer for implementation as a prototype.
After the design is implemented, the designer reviews the prototype and creates notes on how the implementation needs to change to more closely match the intention of the design. This may take many forms, but commonly a list of changes is presented to the developer- moving pixels to match the original design, changes to the design based upon recent discoveries, etc.
Wash, rinse, repeat until the design is considered fully implemented, or Done from the designers perspective.
A project manager helps facilitate the collaboration between designers and developers and guides the business decision making.
Challenges with the Traditional Approach
There are a few issues with this traditional designer / developer collaboration that can hamper open collaboration and slow down team velocity.
Change Management
If there aren't some clear rules defined in the Planning Game, then feature and scope creep can easily swerve a software project off into a ditch of "interesting ideas to try out" and "hidden assumptions".
Developers are placed in the position to constantly push back on new cool ideas because they are out of scope of what was originally agreed. If the developer is the only one that is pushing back, or it taking the overall team resources into consideration, then there will be some real problems.
Developers traditionally, don't enjoy negotiating and estimating as much as building cool features. Additionally, there is an overall industry trend for under estimation.
But the software does not have a neutral estimation problem. The industry data shows clearly that the software industry has an underestimating problem.
Steve McConnell, "Software Estimation, Demystifying the Black Art"
It is risky to put the burden of change control solely onto the shoulders of the developers. Bringing in a project manager for arbitration isn't the leanest approach either- it quickly grows into a negotiation game, when really developers and designers should just be 'jamming' together.
Pixel tweaking across the wall
We can also find ourselves in a situation where mockups are emailed repeatedly to developers with little pixel tweak suggestions and other design notes (i.e. "please move this button 5px to the right and make it 10pt Verdana"). It may look 'good enough' to the developer, but doesn't match the quality that the designer is expecting.
Some of these notes may include work that would put the estimates at risk. All of this needs to be communicated back to the designer.
The developer may attempt to fix many of the design problems only to see that more issues introduced that the developer didn't notice. The designer will then put together another set of notes, and that set of notes will need to be communicated again, with an additional round of estimate negotiation.
If sent 'across the wall' in this manner through indirect communication this can take a significant amount of time and can be quite inefficient. It is also at such a level of technical minutiae that a project manager would prefer to be left out of as much of this communication as possible.
Making this back and forth too formal can also hamper the creativity and spontaneity of the process as a whole.
Excess Inventory
This is a core Scrum concept: don't create excess inventory. There is a metaphor here between product inventory from a factory and artifacts created during the software development process. A factory will be less profitable if it creates more products than can be sold- the excess inventory will need to be stored and then eventually disposed of by some means. There was cost in creating it and cost in disposing of it, but no revenue from selling it.
Unused feature ideas in final mock-ups are excess inventory or team over stock.
This isn't to say that the iterative design process of auditioning many several ideas to arrive at a final proposal is excess inventory. Rather, all of the feature ideas that will most probably not make it into the iteration are excess inventory.
An unused screen or an idea which is not part of the story that the team is currently working on will need to be explained, estimated, and then eventually rejected. There is a cost to the entire team to go through that process of negotiating a tangential feature idea out of the mock-up.
Sometimes this is unavoidable, but it should be considered an expense that the team should work on reducing.
Techniques to facilitate agile designer / developer collaboration
What we want to do is create lean process where designers and developers can collaborate together focused on only those stories that the team signed up for during the iteration without the overheads of game playing and negotiation of project constraints. We want to keep the process lean and focused. Below are a few techniques we have started using to help us move in this direction.
Technique 1: The "no excess inventory" final mock-up
As described above, we want to remove overheads associated with excess feature inventory in our mock-ups. Right after the Sprint (iteration) begins a designer on the Scrum team should create a final mock-up representing the features that the team signed up for during the sprint but no others.
No speculative 'nice to have' features should be included.
This represents a great communication tool for the team itself and between teams. It basically says, "By Sprint's End the software is going to look like this- no more, no less".
The team should also carefully consider if the mock-up should be updated once the software has been partially implemented. Each update of the mock-up runs the risk of being excess inventory unless it can be argued that the communication the updated mock-up yields offsets the development cost.
It is often much more efficient to just refer to the current state of the daily build. This is also a strong argument for first implementing a non-functional visual prototype to move the team away from the mock-up.
Technique 2: Time boxed paired development
During kickoff, for each story involving UI development, reserve some Timeboxed tasks for a developer and designer to try out different ideas while sitting together. This can be considered the equivalent of 'paired programming' but for interactive design.
Because it is Timeboxed, it forces both the designer and developer to make choices as to what design tweaks should be worked on. Designers will need to account for the actual time it takes developers to implement features by sitting along side and seeing the build compile and seeing the nuances of getting the layout right.
I don't think that this is the most efficient technique for the initial development of the view, but rather enhancing the base visual prototype. It is a smart technique in facilitating the collaboration between designers and developers without the overheads of traditional change management.
If there is a risky idea to try out, they can prototype together and see how far they can get in the reserved time.
If the pair gets to the final hour, the focus on what they are jamming on will be quite clear if they know that after that hour, it will be shipped as is. They are both responsible for it.
Technique 3: Replace "Pixel tweaking across the wall" with Timeboxed paired development
Use the Timebox paired development mentioned above for "pixel tweaking" notes. Rather than emailing several rounds of design notes, developers should sit alongside the designer that has an ordered backlog of design notes.
The most important design tweaks will get done first, and when the reserved time is complete no more design tweaks get in. If all the notes have been completed and there is still time remaining, then free-form collaboration can happen to just try out some ideas.
What typically happens is that designers can see for themselves those little changes that seem like they should be simple but are in fact time consuming to implement. On the flip side, the pair may find that they were able to breeze by something that might have seem complicated. The designer, being aware of the time remaining in the session, can then direct the developer to work on other "low hanging fruit" that will have a higher likelihood of getting fixed.

John & Michele in the Morning
After 15 years, we're down to the last week. July 12, 2013 will be the last show for John & Michele in the Morning. There's nothing scandalous to report...sorry!
John will continue his reign as Springfield's morning show king, but he'll just be doing it with someone new.
Michele is moving on to a new phase of her career in the radio business. She'll still be in Springfield and still with Neuhoff Media, however instead of being on the air she's going to be focusing on all things digital. It's been a great 15 years, and John & Michele plan to spend this last week reminiscing with guests and playing some of the best moments of the past.
Michele would LOVE to hear from you this week. Write on the

The Anglo Boer War (1899-1902) - Prisoners of War
This project is an extension of the The Anglo Boer War (1899-1902). The object of the project is to add information about both British/Colonial and Boer Prisoners of War, to gather profiles of these men who are on Geni and to share interesting tales and anecdotes about individuals.
The first sizable batch of Boer prisoners of war taken by the British consisted of those captured at the battle of Elandslaagte on 21 October 1899. No camps had been prepared and by arrangement with the Naval authorities these prisoners (approximately 200 men) were temporarily housed on the naval guard ship HMS Penelope in Simon's Bay. Several ships were used as floating prisoner of war camps until permanent camps were established at Greenpoint, Cape Town and Bellevue, Simonstown. The first prisoners were accommodated in Bellevue on 28 February 1900. Wounded prisoners were sent to the old Cape Garrison Artillery Barracks at Simonstown which had been converted into the Palace hospital. The first wounded arrived on 2 November 1899.
Towards the end of 1900 with the first invasion of the Cape Colony the prisoners at Cape Town and Simonstown were placed on board ships. At the end of December 1900 some 2550 men were placed on board the Kildonan Castle where they remained for six weeks before they were removed to two other transports at Simons' bay.
The camp at Ladysmith, Natal was in use from 20 December 1900 until January 1902. It was mainly used as a staging camp although it had some 120 prisoners of war. Another staging camp was also established at Umbilo in Natal.

The Wives and families of Boer Prisoners were sent to Concentration Camps - details of which can be found at British Concentration Camps of the South African War 1900-1902.
Burghers or Boers who surrendered voluntarily were known as hendsoppers. They usually signed an oath of neutrality and were housed in the same camps as the women and children, usually worked for the british in one way or another.
Those who surrendered and fought alongside the British were known as joiners.
Albert Grundlingh has written a book called "The dynamics of TREASON" which explores Boer collaboration in the war.
The first sizable batch of Boer prisoners of war taken by the British were captured at the battle of Elandslaagte on 21 October 1899. No camps had been prepared and by arrangement with the Naval authorities these prisoners (approximately 200 men) were temporarily housed on the naval guard ship HMS Penelope in Simon's Bay. Several ships were used as floating prisoner of war camps until permanent camps were established at Greenpoint, Cape Town and Bellevue, Simonstown. The first prisoners were accommodated in Bellevue on 28 February 1900. Wounded prisoners were sent to the old Cape Garrison Artillery Barracks at Simonstown which had been converted into the Palace hospital. The first wounded arrived on 2 November 1899.
Towards the end of 1900 with the first invasion of the Cape Colony the prisoners at Cape Town and Simonstown were placed on board ships. At the end of December 1900 some 2550 men were placed on board the Kildonan Castle where they remained for six weeks before they were removed to two other transports at Simons' bay.
The camp at Ladysmith, Natal was in use from 20 December 1900 until January 1902. It was mainly used as a staging camp although it had some 120 prisoners of war. Another staging camp was also established at Umbilo in Natal.
Prisoners of war repatriated to South Africa after the cessations of hostilities were sent on arrival to Simonstown or Umbilo. Here they were provided with blankets and clothes before being sent of by train to their final destinations. As the war developed the number of prisoners increased and the provision of accommodation raised some serious problems for the British authorities. This was particularly so after the surrender of General P A Cronje and approximately 4000 burghers at Paardeberg. To keep large camps supplied while conducting a war over large areas would only have imposed intolerable strains on already overburdened supply lines. Not only this, but there was the very real danger of insurrections in the neighbourhood of the camps and the risk of the release of the captives. The solution to the problem was found in the shipment of the prisoners overseas.
The first overseas camps were opened in St Helena.The SS Milwaukee arrived off St Helena on 11 April 1900 with 514 prisoners on board. This was the first batch of 5000 prisoners housed in the two camps on the island - Broadbottom and Deadwood. Six loads of prisoners of war from South Africa were landed in the Bermudas during the period 28 June 1901 to 16th January 1902. The camps were situated on islands in the Great Sound:
- Burts (400 men)
- Darrell's, (1100 men)
- Hawkins (1300 men)
- Hinson's (120 men)
- Morgans (850 men)
- vi Tuckers (800 men)
The first batch of prisoners arrived in Ceylon on 9 August 1900 and subsequently others followed until some 5 000 prisoners had landed. Diyatalawa was the main camp. Mt Lavinia was the convalescent camp while dissidents and irreconcilables were housed at Ragama. A camp for prisoners on parole was also opened at Urugasmanhandiya in September 1901. Hambantota was also a parole camp. Camps were established in India at -
- Abottabad
- Ahmednagar
- Bellary
- Bhim Tal
- Dagshai and Solon
- Fort Govindgarh
- Kaity-Nilgiris
- Satara
- Shahjahanpur
- Sialkot
- Trichinopoly
- Umballa
- Upper Topa

British and Colonial Prisoners of War
in Boer Captivity
A total of 383 officers and 9,170 NCOs and men were taken prisoner in the course of the war. 97 men died in captivity.
From South Africa's Boer Fighters In The Anglo-Boer War, 1899-1902
Generally no prisoners could be taken, as the Boers had no means to keep them prisoner nor anywhere to hold and feed them – and Boer mounted Kommandos could not risk being slowed down with dismounted POWs. British prisoners were therefore relieved of their boots (going barefoot on the veld was a real immobilizer), rifles, ammunition and frequently pants (the one item of British uniforms that Boers could wear without being mistaken at a distance for the enemy and thereby risking getting a "friendly-fire" bullet through the head). Freeing British prisoners also had a negative effect on British forces' performance in battle as it encouraged quick surrenders after British soldiers discovered that the Boers would immediately release them if captured – the choice between having to endure a blizzard of deadly Boer Mauser fire or quickly and safely surrendering was usually a "no-brainer."
General Maritz once complained that he captured the same British soldier 3 times in one day and had to let him go each time. However, Maritz noted that his Kommandos profited from each capture since the British soldier was fully outfitted every time they caught him.
The first crop of prisoners were taken at Kraaipan in the first few days of the war. Officers were held at the State Model School in Pretoria. Their most famous captive was Sir Winston Churchill who was captured at Frere. Incarcerated in the State Model School, he reportedly climbed the fence, boarded a train and hid in a coal mine near Middelburg. He then took another train to Portuguese territory. In March 1900, Captain Haldane, Lieutenant le Mesurier and Sergeant Brockie escaped from the school. They hid beneath the floor. During the removal of prisoners to Waterval, they stayed hidden and were able to stroll out of the emptied prison.
The hospital at the Racecourse was used for wounded and sick prisoners until the fall of Pretoria. The officers remained at the Staats Model School until 16 March 1900 when they were moved to their new quarters known as the Birdcage at Daspoort.
The welfare of the prisoners was controlled by a board of management consisting of four persons. They were Louis da Souza, Commandant Opperman, directly responsible for the safe custody of the prisoners, Dr Gunning, who was Opperman's assistant and Hans Malan. Opperman was replaced by a Mr Westerink in March 1900.
The 129 officers and 36 soldiers detained at the Staats Model School were released on the 5th of June 1900. [Information at AngloBoerWar.com claims that when the British troops entered Pretoria on 5 June 1900, 129 officers and 36 other ranks overpowered their guards just prior to the arrival of the troops.] On the 6th of June Colonel T C Porter's Brigade was ordered to affect the release of the men confined at Waterval. A squadron of Greys under Captain Maude finally released 3187 men.
It was found that 900 prisoners had been removed by the Boers from Waterval on the 4th of June. These men were then detained at Nooitgedacht. They were eventually released by the Earl of Dundonald on the 30th of August 1900.
When General French entered Barberton in September 1900, he released the final group of prisoners - twenty-three officers and fifty-nine soldiers who had been removed by the Boers from Nooitgedacht. Most of them had been confined in a barbed wire enclosure while some were housed in the local goal.

From Brodick, Isle of Arran – Watercolour in a Watercolour Moleskine
This is part of the view from Brodick, on Arran. The scene captures the view from Arran's second largest village across the edge of the Firth of Clyde towards the highest mountain on the island, Goat Fell.
Arran has a diverse range of different types of scenery. It sometimes referred to as "Scotland in Miniature." There is always plenty to do such as many different types of water sports, visitor attractions such as the Arran brewery, producer of the famous "Arran Blonde" beer, the newest whisky distillery in the country at Lochranza, golf and, yes, hill walking/mountaineering. A great place for holidays.

I love this series but it has too many commas in the narrative text. I think that it needs a little bit of proof reading. Thanks for keeping at it, can't wait for the book.
Chang Terhune says:
Too many commas. Like Mozart had too many notes. You must be fun at parties.
Antinous / Moderator says:
May I just jump in here to defend Joseph II, who was an extremely enlightened ruler and unfairly maligned by that silly film?
Ed Piskor says:
I should have payed more attention in English class. If the incorrect/overuse of commas is a pet peeve this online version will promise to ruin your experience. Thankfully, (?) the print edition is being copyedited overtime.
Antinous / Moderator says:
I write like my 7th grade grammar teacher, Mrs. Smith, is standing over me, checking my punctuation. And then I pick up the Lord of the Rings and see that Oxford language professor JRR Tolkien uses about 10% of the commas that I do.
ocker3 says:
I tend to write sentences like I speak them, but English teacher after English teacher has said that the written word shouldn't be the same as the spoken word. Perhaps when I read something it makes sense, but not when someone else does.
Jim Beach says:
I edit for a living, and there weren't too many commas for me. For what it's worth.

When I got my hands on a vhs copy of Wild Style in a thrift store bin, I did not know what it was, but the cover intrigued me. I watched it and my jaw hit the floor. I held viewing parties during which I would often sit to the side so I could watch folks' reactions as much as watch the screen. It felt like sharing a secret that needed to be let out. Ed, your Family Tree feels just like that, too. KK Rockwell and Rodney C's stoop rap is an amazing scene, but their rhymes sounded like they spoke of problems bigger/different than those their characters faced in the film… now I know why. Thanks, Ed!!
rewhu says:
Excellent. Put in my pre-order yesterday!
Chang Terhune says:
GOD DAMN!!! AWESOME!!! How the hell have I never seen or heard of Wild Style but I've been listening to hiphop since 1980???
Anibal Gonzalez says:
better and better. man. ed this thing rules. that stoop scene. killer.
noah django says:
I watched Wild Style for the first time in probably '97, on VHS with a group including my homie TRUF ONE. after the mustache got put on the Zoro piece (we thought it was LEE but turns out it was DONDI–which is sorta cooler) we both turned to each other: "Man, that's some can *control*." none of these Euro cans or aftermarket caps that are standard today, either.
my homie Tranerek hooked me up with my copy of the vinyl, which was dope because it was a first press, as denoted by the gold-embossed promo seal. he was the illest digger I ever met.
re: book pre-orders, two questions
you got any coupon codes for us heads? and more importantly, can I get it autographed?

Complete control over your bill, with a little flexibility. Choose a tariff, set a safety buffer and enjoy the peace of mind you'll never go over your bill cap.
How it works:
- For a £15 bill cap, pick a £10 tariff and a £5 safety buffer.
- Change the amounts any time.
- When you get near your £15 bill cap, we'll text you.
- If you reach your bill cap, we stop you running up more charges.

- Answered:
- Why should I add a safety buffer?
- How would I spend more than my tariff amount?

So that you can gain complete control over your mobile costs. Your safety buffer will give you freedom to use more than your monthly tariff if you want. And you'll always have the flexibility to move your safety buffer up or down.
You'll only be charged more than your tariff amount if you use things not included in your monthly allowance, such as extra minutes, texts or data, calling or texting premium rate numbers, using your phone abroad, making international calls. This will come out of your safety buffer.
With a Capped contract, you'll never be allowed to use more than the safety buffer you've chosen.
It's really up to you. Say you never want to spend more than £15 a month. Pick a £10 tariff and give yourself a safety buffer of £5. Or, if you never want to spend more than £40, give yourself a £30 buffer. The choice is yours.
Yes, you can change it in the App or by logging into your online account.
We'll send you a text when you've nearly used up your safety buffer. Then we'll text you again when you've used it all up.
If you use up all your safety buffer, you can still use any minutes, texts or data you've got left in your monthly allowance. You just won't be able to use any extra minutes, texts or data, or do anything not included in your allowance. You'll still be able to receive calls and texts.
To keep using your phone for everything, you can make a one-off payment towards your bill or you can see if you can increase your safety buffer.
If you pick a safety buffer of £40 or less, we'll limit the total amount you can spend on data, calls and texts abroad at £40 in your bill month.
If you pick a safety buffer higher than £40, you're accepting that you could spend over £40 on data abroad. But we'll still apply the total safety buffer you've chosen for all minutes, text and data, whether you're in the UK or abroad.
Before you travel, you might want to consider turning off data roaming. Data costs 45p/MB in the EU and £8/MB outside the EU.
When you're buying your phone online, just tick the 'Yes, cap my bill please', then choose your safety buffer amount. You can change this in our App or in your online account any time.
