Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and U.S. President Barack Obama confirmed their countries' cooperation over the conflict in Syria during telephone talks Tuesday, as Obama continued efforts to secure congressional support for a military strike against the Syrian government over its alleged use of chemical weapons.
During their 30-minute conversation initiated by Washington, the two leaders agreed that the "use of chemical weapons is a serious violation of international norms and cannot be tolerated," the White House said.
The telephone talks came after Obama said on the weekend that he will seek congressional approval for a possible U.S. strike against the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad over its alleged use of chemical weapons in rebel-held areas of Damascus in late August.
During the call, Obama said the United States has a clear basis for concluding that Assad's government used chemical weapons on Aug. 21 and it must be held accountable, according to Japanese officials.
Abe repeated the Japanese government's stance that it is highly likely that chemical weapons were used but stopped short of saying who was responsible, according to Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga.
"As to who used the chemical weapons, we have been collecting and analyzing information by continuing to communicate closely with the countries concerned, including the United States," Suga said at a news conference.
Obama told Abe that it is important for the international community to send a clear and unified signal about the international norms against the use of chemical weapons and other weapons of mass destruction, noting the importance of working closely with other countries to that end.
Abe replied that Obama's announcement on Saturday regarding seeking congressional authorization was an expression of the president's "grave determination," adding that he will now closely watch developments in Congress, according to the officials.
The prime minister also requested that the United States continue efforts to obtain a resolution from the U.N. Security Council approving a military strike against Syria.
Many Japanese officials believe Japan should express its support for a U.S. strike should it happen, but Tokyo intends to watch closely how the situation unfolds given Britain's decision not to go along with the United States in punishing Syria and the strong reservations among the American public and lawmakers.
Touching on issues other than Syria, Abe and Obama agreed to "consult closely" in moving forward the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade negotiations, with the president seeking a conclusion of the TPP negotiations "this fall," the White House said.
Meanwhile, Suga told a news conference on Tuesday that it would be "physically difficult" to arrange for Abe and Obama to sit down for talks on the sidelines of a Group of 20 meeting in St. Petersburg, Russia, on Thursday and Friday.
The top government spokesman noted that while Obama is expected to arrive in St. Petersburg for the G-20 summit on Thursday afternoon, Abe is scheduled to cut short his attendance at the event and leave Thursday night for Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he will attend a meeting of the International Olympic Committee to select the host of the 2020 Summer Games.

Opera War in Berlin: Melodrama in 3 Acts
By ALAN RIDING
Published: March 4, 2003
BERLIN— With their tales of love, treachery, politics and death, plots of operas can be mind-bogglingly complicated. Hardly less convoluted, though, is the Wagnerian-length drama gripping Berlin's three opera houses as they struggle to survive dwindling audiences, shrinking subsidies and plunging morale. The curtain has just gone up on the third and perhaps final act, but the end is still unclear.
The future of government-sponsored opera in Berlin may be in the balance. In practice, even more is at stake. In a peculiar way over the last three years the opera story has become a gauge of the still volatile relations between the two halves of this long-divided city and even a test of Germany's willingness to give Berlin the profile of a genuine capital city.
When Act I began, things were simpler. After German unification in 1990, the new government of a single Berlin inherited the Deutsche Oper from the West and the Staatsoper and the Komische Oper from the East. Thanks to support from the federal government the three flourished, encouraging Berlin's ambition to become the cultural capital of Central Europe.
But by the late 1990's, with federal aid for Berlin's culture sharply reduced, Act II brought recognition that the city could no longer afford three opera houses that consumed one-quarter of its cultural budget. In 2000 the city therefore proposed merging the Deutsche Oper and the Staatsoper, assigning each its own repertory. After a counterattack led by Daniel Barenboim, music director of the Staatsoper, the initiative was abandoned.
Now a new left-leaning city government has a fresh proposal. With Berlin close to bankruptcy, the protests have been muted. There may be disagreement over what should be done, but there are no longer doubts that something must be done. And this time the plan includes an implicit threat: if it fails, the curtain will probably fall on Act III with the closing of one opera house.
Desperate to cut its own deficit, the city has decided to reduce the annual opera subsidy to $112.5 million from $123 million, eliminating 220 jobs, around 10 percent of the present opera work force. To do this it proposes uniting the three houses' costume and set workshops and shrinking their three dance companies into a single corps. Their orchestras, however, will lose only 18 players and their choruses just 5 singers.
The three opera houses would be brought under a new Berlin Opera Foundation headed by a general manager with the job of supervising the houses' long-term finances and encouraging them, although not ordering them, to coordinate their programs to avoid having three different productions of ''The Magic Flute'' on one evening, which has happened.
This is the optimistic scenario. None of it will happen, warns Thomas Flierl, Berlin's culture minister and the man behind the plan, unless the federal government comes up with $13 million annually through 2008 to help pay for this transition. And if the money is not included when next year's federal budget is announced in June, the Deutsche Oper and Staatsoper will be merged and reduced to one orchestra, one chorus and one ballet company.
So far the only loud protest has come from Mr. Barenboim, who argues that the Staatsoper and its orchestra, the Staatskapelle, both based in the former royal opera house on Unter den Linden in eastern Berlin, is being punished for being successful.
''The government has stolen $7 million which we earned from our tours,'' he said in a recent interview. ''All this money that we saved in this way has been expropriated simply because they have terrible debts. And the worst thing is that, when we complain, we are told we lack solidarity.''
Mr. Barenboim said he could live with reducing his orchestra to 128 from 135 players, but he objected to cutting the Staatsoper's annual subsidy by $4.3 million to $41.5 million. He also dislikes the idea of a Berlin Opera Foundation. ''The Staatsoper is the only house in artistic and financial good health,'' he said. ''So you put one healthy house together with two sick houses. Doesn't Thomas Flierl know that sickness is contagious?''
Mr. Flierl's response is conciliatory. ''I regret what I had to do,'' he said in an interview. ''But this is an emergency, and we had no choice. I am aware that this action has brought complications, but taking these savings will not damage the essence of the Staatsoper's operation.''
The Staatsoper has one further advantage: Mr. Barenboim is on good terms with Peter Mussbach, the general manager. In contrast, at the Deutsche Oper, after a long-running feud, Christian Thielemann, the music director, has forced Udo Zimmermann to step down as general manager at the end of this season. And at the Komische Oper, relations are strained between Albert Kost, the general manager, and the man named to succeed him next year, Andreas Homoki, now artistic director.
Mr. Zimmermann said he welcomed Mr. Flierl's plan if it prevented the merger or closing of any opera house. But he worries whether a single workshop can properly serve the three houses ''since our own workshops are already working to capacity,'' he said. He added that he also feared that the artistic autonomy of the opera houses would gradually be undermined by the financial crisis.

We have encountered a problem using Spring Portlet MVC 3.1 when using multiple controller classes and the DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping.
- We are using Spring Portlet MVC 3.1 with annotations for the Render & Action phases
- We are using JBoss EPP 5.1.1
- For a Portlet render request with params, an incorrect page is rendered in the portlet
- Spring Portlet MVC is using a different method for @RenderMapping than the expected method with the correct annotations
Technical Analysis
All our controllers contain @RenderMapping and @ActionMapping annotations, and all have "params" arguments to ensure that the expected method is invoked based on a parameter set in our portlet URLs. For default rendering, we have a method that has a @RenderMapping annotation with no "params" argument, which we use to render a blank JSP when the request contains no parameters.
Based on the reading of Chapter 7 and 8 in your book, we learnt that the Dispatcher Portlet tries to get the appropriate handler mapping for the incoming request and send it to the appropriate method in the controller bean configured. Our assumption was that our default @RenderMapping annotation (with no params) would only be invoked after it has checked that there are no other methods in the Controllers with an annotation that matches the specific request parameters.
However, we have debugged to realise that this assumption is incorrect. The DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping appears to traverse through the available list of annotations in the Controller beans in some pre-defined order. This means that if the controller bean with the default @RenderMapping annotation (with no params)appears before in the list, the method with the default @RenderMapping annotation (with no params) will be invoked rather than the correct which is further down the list.
Manifested Error
We are developing in a Windows environment and deploying to a Linux environment. In Windows we see that the handler cycles through the controller beans in alphabetical order, so we initially solved our problem by adding the @RenderMapping annotated method with no params in the controller with the bean name closest to 'Z'.
In Linux, however, it appears that the controller beans are detected in a different order. I have attached the Spring logs below to highlight the issue. The no params @RenderMapping annotation is in the YourDetailsController, and as you can see in the Windows log it appears last in the list, whereas in Linux it doesn't. This means that if we try to access one of the controllers that appears after the YourDetailsController in the list we instead always end up hitting the no params annotation in the YourDetailsController instead.
- Is our assumption incorrect?
- Does our diagnosis reflect expected behaviour? Or is it a bug with Spring Portlet MVC?
- Is there a different way to get the annotations scanned to form the handlermapping bean list?
- Would using xml configuration (instead of annotations) remove our problem?
- Would we able to define multiple handler mapping and order so that the default handler mapping is the last handler mapping used by the dispatcher portlet?
Any thoughts or advice you have on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Most significant Jewish moment?
Deciding to base a central theme of a new book around Judaism. I realised that I knew more about Islam and Christianity than my own religious tradition, and that this was becoming shameful.
Which biblical character would you like to meet, and why?
I am drawn both to King Samuel and Saul — and for this reason, have named my children after them. I have sympathy for their strengths and weaknesses. They are essential, recurring human types.
Favourite mitzvah?
"Not to embarrass others" (Leviticus 19.17). This seems to go to the core of what it means to be a socially attuned human being — to realise when one is in danger of humiliating or compromising others.
Israel for me is…
A country I will always associate with my grandmother, Yolande Gabai, who played a central role in the founding of the state through her activities in Egypt with the Jewish Agency. A country whose current state she would deplore, for she knew that peace with the Arabs was at the core of the challenge facing the new country.
Last time you went to synagogue?
The wedding of my stepsister Rebecca. It was a hugely festive and moving occasion.
Favourite Jewish book?
The Book of Job. I am constantly consoled by the suggestion that we get caught up in sorrows and pleasures whose origins are not entirely for us to know. Job is taught a lesson in surrendering paranoia, the feeling that the world revolves around him, and that his suffering is meaningful in a way he can comprehend.

OMAHA, Neb. -- The true volleyball fans understand and appreciate all of it: the positioning, the strategy, the passing, the subtle spins on serves, the digs, the sets.
But absolutely everybody understands the beautiful thunder and lightning of this sport: the kills.
Here in Nebraska, where the love of the Cornhuskers stretches passionately from side-to-side and top-to-bottom of the state, you have plenty of both kinds of folks. There are volleyball aficionados who've followed their Big Red Machine as it's plowed over most of its competition for three decades now. And there are people who may not know a whole lot except how cool it is when a Husker loudly puts one on the floor.
Saturday night, they were all packed into the Qwest Center -- 17,209, the largest crowd in collegiate volleyball history. Most were wearing Husker red, and they came to watch their team try to knock off one of the very few volleyball programs that's a little higher on the royalty scale than Nebraska.
That would be six-time NCAA champion Stanford, a school that's won more NCAA matches (82) than any other. But the Huskers are second on that list with 70, including their 3-1 win in the final (27-30, 30-26, 30-28, 30-27) that gave Nebraska its third NCAA title in this sport.
"Just the whole atmosphere, being with my best friends on the court I'm just ecstatic right now," said Nebraska outside hitter Sarah Pavan, who was named the championship's most outstanding player. "It feels unbelievable to know that we're the best team in the country."
The Canadian superstar Pavan certainly had a strong interest in attending Stanford, and she more than had the grades. But then she visited Nebraska, was very impressed with its biochemistry department and made the move to Lincoln.
Hard to imagine the Huskers would have been here Saturday without her. Pavan, a junior, is just about the perfect genetic model of a volleyball player. It's like somebody said, "So dream up an amazing outside hitter," and this is what happened.
She's 6-foot-5, has the accompanying impressive wingspan, can leap, instinctively understands the sport and -- for an added twist -- is left-handed. And we're serious about the genetics of this: Pavan's father, Paul, was her high school and club volleyball coach, while her mother, Cindy, played on the Canadian national team in the late 1970s.
Pavan is a 4.0 student in biochemistry -- what is it with this sport and its ludicrous overachievers? -- who this season was named national player of the year and academic All-American of the year. She had taken even more of the weight for the Huskers because teammate Christina Houghtelling was on the sidelines.
Houghtelling was the national player of the year last season, when Nebraska lost the NCAA title match to Washington. But she had a labrum tear in her right shoulder, and after arthroscopic surgery over the summer was forced to redshirt what would have been her senior season.
The Huskers were still preseason No. 1 and lost just one match -- at Colorado -- coming into the NCAA Tournament. And they all lived every day with what was "expected" of them: They were supposed to make it to the Final Four here in Omaha, guaranteeing the place would be sold out.
Yeah, that's a lot to have on your mind when you're fighting your way through a difficult NCAA bracket. It almost got to be too much. In the regional final against Minnesota in Gainesville, Fla., the Huskers were down 2-0.
They were looking at the biggest sports nightmare any of them could imagine: a Final Four in their home state -- less than an hour away from the Lincoln campus -- and them not playing in it. That fear might have overwhelmed them while they sat in the locker room in the break before the third game. It would have overwhelmed a lot of kids.
But Nebraska fought back and won 3-2, thinking only point-to-point-to-point and not the big picture of "How would we live with this if we lost?" Credit coach John Cook for that, but also this group of Huskers, led by their red-haired Canadian giant who keeps a poker face much of the time she's on the court.
Which is not the standard demeanor of volleyball players, most of whom look more excited than triumphant game-show contestants after every winning point. Oh sure, Pavan can celebrate, too, but she typically has a steely look that says, "Set me. Set me. Set me."
Teammate Rachel Holloway did a lot, this season. Including Saturday.
"She was on fire," said Holloway, the Huskers' redshirt freshman setter. "She kept telling me to feed her the ball, and she kept putting it away. So I kept feeding it, and she got the job done."
Pavan said, "Her sets were unbelievable. I was, like, drooling when I was hitting them."
Pavan and fellow first-team All-American Jordan Larson each had 45 attacks in the final and finished with identical .378 hitting percentages. Pavan had 22 kills and Larson 19.
It was all too much for Stanford. Pavan and Larson swinging away. Senior libero Dani Busboom, from the little bitty town of Cortland, Neb., diving for 21 digs. An Omaha native, Dani Mancuso, coming up with 12 kills. The roars of the Nebraska fans.
"It was probably the biggest match ever in NCAA women's volleyball history, in terms of scope," Stanford coach John Dunning said, adding of the crowd, "The red wave is pretty powerful. And to have that behind them was a big thing. But they just played great; it wasn't the crowd that won the match. But you can feel it out there, there's no doubt about it."
After the match, Nebraska coach John Cook talked about what this meant for his program, which will have Houghtelling back next year with Pavan and Larson killing right and left.
"I think this could be one of the biggest impacts on this sport in a long, long time," Cook said of the excitement and enthusiasm that gripped Omaha. "It's still a dream for me. As a coach, when you're down there, you feel like you're floating.
"I think the biggest thing I always want to say is in this state, you always have to dream big. For all the little girls who saw this, and the girls on our team who got a chance to do this -- their lives are changed forever after tonight."

I'm currently a PhD student and have studied CS. I started programming as a hobby at the age of about 9 (Basic on a Commodore C64) if I remember correcly and progressed from there (Pascal, Delphi, Java). But only recently (about 3 yrs ago) I started learning and using the C++ language which comes in quite handy for the performance critical computations I'm mostly doing right now (tomography, other big nonlinear optimization problems).

The mother of a 14-year-old who authorities say had a cache of guns, knives and explosive devices in his bedroom for a possible school attack was charged Friday with buying her son three weapons.
Michele Cossey bought her home-schooled son a .22-caliber handgun, a .22-caliber rifle and a 9 mm semiautomatic rifle, authorities said.
CBS News correspondent Maggie Rodriguez reported that officials knew the young suspect's motive: he felt bullied by the students at Plymouth Whitemarsh. But the plot for revenge was foiled when the young man tried to seek out an accomplice who led police to the suspect's house and a disturbing arsenal.
Acting on a tip from a high school student and his father, police on Wednesday found the rifle, about 30 air-powered guns, swords, knives, a bomb-making book, videos of the 1999 Columbine attack in Colorado and violence-filled notebooks in the boy's bedroom, Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce L. Castor Jr. said.
Cossey, 46, of Plymouth Meeting, bought the rifle, which had a laser scope, at a gun show Sept. 23 and provided police with a receipt, investigators said in court papers. The teenager said the two .22-caliber weapons were stored at a friend's house.
The teen was ordered Friday to remain in juvenile detention.
His mother was charged with unlawful transfer of a firearm, possession of a firearm by a minor, corruption of a minor, endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of reckless endangerment. She was later released on bail.
Castor has said he does not believe and attack was imminent nor would occur at all. He said Friday that the teen had a "disturbed mind."
"This was a smart kid that clearly believes he was picked on and was a victim," Castor said. "He had psychological issues and began to act out on those feelings."
Suspect's MySpace Page Alluded To Columbine
On his MySpace page, the 14-year-old boy accused of planning an attack on a high school makes frequent references to Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, and describes their 1999 massacre at Columbine High School as one of his interests.
On his page, headlined with the phrase "Mess with the best, Die like the rest," are tribute videos to the Columbine shooters, and a still from the surveillance video showing Klebold and Harris in the Columbine cafeteria.
In his lone blog post, dated March 29, he wrote about recruiting for his "military group" and about his favorite weapons.
In a badly spelled post, he called himself a soldier and wrote that if he could travel back in time he "would love to be in all the wars, expecialy ww2."
The teen listed "the COLUMBINE MASSACRE" and the North Hollywood Shootout, a confrontation between a pair of heavily armed bank robbers and police in 1997, as among his "fav historical times."
"O and as 4 my personal saying....if at first you dont sucseed, use the armor piercing rounds," he also wrote.
Police, who searched the home with the permission of the teen's parents, also discovered seven explosive devices Castor has described as homemade grenades: plastic containers filled with pellets to which gunpowder could be added. Authorities said one grenade was operable and the others had been in the process of being assembled.
The search did not turn up any ammunition for the most dangerous firearm in the bunch, the assault rifle.
The teen previously attended middle school in the district but had been taught at home for more than a year after voluntarily leaving school, Castor said.
The arrest came the same day a 14-year-old in Ohio opened fire at his Cleveland high school, wounding four before killing himself.
Classes were held as usual Thursday at the Pennsylvania high school.

The very words "Mercury Retrograde" send most people into a tailspin. Every 88 days, the planet Mercury seems to drift backwards in the solar system, wreaking 21 days of havoc. Or so it seems. Astrologer Marguerite Manning, author of Cosmic Karma, thinks we should give Mercury Retrograde just a little more attention than hiding under the covers until Mercury goes direct again.

Elegant Actress Zeng Yunzhen
We had a chance photographing another young actress in the weekend. Zeng Yunzhen has also appeared in quite a few movies and TV dramas. She is a girl grown up in Huaihua, western Hunan Province. She graduated from the "Cradle of Performers" (China Central Academy of Theatrical Arts) as well. One may find more info about her from her blog too - http://blog.sina.com.cn/zengyunzhen

Top Bodybuilders of China
They are the top bodybuilders of China. They're the privileged members of China's National Bodybuilding Team. Now, feel their powerful muscles from the photos.

Portraits for Muscular Powers
When China's famous revolutionary Mao Zedong at his young age, he criticized that China was weak as well as its people's physique. He proposed a very unconventional approach for a change - "Civilizing people's spirit and barbarizing their physique". After decades of China's huge effort to modernize, China's sports have reached a huge milestone in 2008 for successfully hosting the Olympics. Today I got a chance to watch Beijing's annual competition for body-building and took quite a few images of the bodybuilders. So, let's take a look of China's powerful musclemen through my camera. I wish some day more Chinese would be trained for competing the title of Mr Universe.

Photographing Actress Wang Xuanyi
I had a chance photographing a new model today - Wang Xuanyi (check out her blog here). She is currently a professional actress - has appeared in various roles in about a dozen of TV drama/series, such as "Great Emperor of Han", "Young Blue-Sky Bao", "Embracing Sunshine" etc. Obviously she is young and is still on the way to become a major star in the entertainment industry. She graduated from Class 2002 of another prestigious "Cradle of Performers" - China Central Academy of Theatrical Arts. Working with actress like her seems very easy, since my guess is that she is just so used to be in front of cameras. Actually, she was able to get into the mood very soon with her eyes sparkling and she played out her role automatically all at ease. A little different from her usual heavy make-up in the movies, our approach for photographing is a little casual in style. Here is just a small selection from today's shooting session.

Flora in May 2009
I went to Jinshan Park on this May Day holiday with a purpose for shooting peonies. However, it seemed to me that I was unfortunately late for the season and most of the peonies were actually withered and gone. Besides, I was distracted to take photos of those mass singing events in the park (more to be released later in another blog). Here are just a few pics of peonies and wisteria that I have found in the park.

Mass Singing in Jingshan Park
It was the May Day 2009 - it is again the holiday of all the workers in the world. It seems to everyone that nothing is more appropriate to gather around in the park to sing those old communist revolutionary songs that you have grown up with. So here are a few photos taken when I was "sweeping around" in Jingshan Park during the holidays.

Model Xue-Er as A Girl of the Next Door
Model Xue-Er (Cheng Xue-Fei) is just a young student from China's prestigious Performance School of Beijing Film Academy - the cradle of China's professional actors and actresses. It is still too earlier to tell what her future would be but she apparently starts her career early now by actively doing modeling for photographers in her spare time. So, we got this chance of taking glamor shots of her in the weekend. We're trying to portrait an image of simple unsophisticated ordinary girl of the next door - which should be just very suitable and natural for her age. The following is a selection from the fresh photos I just took last weekend. In the end, I'm sure one could probably agree that her current training in performance certainly helped a lot in the modeling. Hopefully she will be a rising budding star soon in either TV or movies some day.

Trying Out Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Lens
I just added a new lens to my photographic arsenal - Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM recently. Here are just a few testing "virgin" photos I have taken over a few days. It is supposed to be a fixed focus length "standard" lens and most suitable for portraits. I am certainly getting used to it gradually and let's see if it would give me more rooms for creativity in the future. All of the following were shot with this lens (at about f/1.8 or f/2.4).

Dawn Redwood at Tsinghua Courtyard

Neo-Glassic Village in Sanlitun
Sanlitun is a small community with higher concentration of foreigners and bars in Beijing. It is a synonym to the western life style to some extent. So, it comes as no surprise to anyone when a stylish glassy mall - Sanlitun Village was recently opened in the neighborhood. These following photos (which I just shot yesterday with my Canon 5D camera + 24mm-70mm f/2.8L lens) should be able to give you a good impression of how daring Chinese commercial brains could be in terms of setting new milestones for creative architectures and different artistic styles.

Outdoor Glamor Portraits
Glamor portrait is a very traditional category of photography. It is an art of capturing the images of beautiful moments of female figures (usually beautiful and sexy women, nude or not). However, beauties would not necessarily guarantee you with the intended result for glamor. Sometimes, a sweet smile, a sparkle in the eyes or a mischievous wink would actually make the photos more attractive in the eyes of the beholder. It is sunny Spring time now. Today, I got out of the door with a group of hobbyists and a few models in a park and these are a few top picks from my photos. (Most of the pictures were taken with my "official" portrait lens - Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L)

Walking through Tsinghua University
Tsinghua University is one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in China. Sometimes, people are equaling it as "MIT of China". However, I'm sure you would find it as the middle way of the western heritage meeting with the eastern one by walking through its campus. (These photos were just taken yesterday by myself)

Dawn Redwood Documentary
Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides, also known as "Shui Shan" in Chinese) is an ancient relative of other two native Redwood trees in California (namely, the Coast Redwood and Giant Sequoia). Dawn Redwood was well known for many years from the fossils that it had been the dominant trees in the northern hemisphere approximately 70 million years ago and believed to be extinct during the Miocene. For example, the following is a usual sample picture of such a fossil stones.
Colorful Spring at Summer Palace
We had a collection of Black/White photos of the Summer Palace (taken in the fall of 2007) before. Last Wednesday (March 25th, 2009), I had a chance returning to the royal palace of the Qing Dynasty again with another fellow photographer friend of mine. Now, let's enjoy the colorful and warm Spring by sharing this new set of color photos with you.

Today I had a chance to sneak into an automobile showroom in Beijing. Let's steal a quick look of a few top driving machines in the world and human history.
Spring Scenes in Yuan Ming Garden
These are a few selected snapshots taken with my Sony W300 camera during this week. Finally, it is the Spring time in Beijing. Everything is warming up and coming to life, even in this deserted old royal garden.

Five Pagoda Temple
Five Pagoda Temple ("Wu Ta Si" in Chinese) was established in the early Ming Dynasty during the years when Yong Le Emperor had chosen Beijing as the new capital for his empire. Originally it was known as "Authentic Bodhi Temple" (Zhen Jue Si) and was a direct royal endowment of the Emperor himself to a Buddhist Grandmaster from India. The temple however was brutally burnt down by the Western Alliance Troop on their way to loot and burn Yuan Ming Garden in the late Qing Dynasty. Only its main Pagoda structure plus two gigantic Ginkgo trees had survived the disastrous rape and now it still remain almost intact to this day. It also becomes a museum for ancient stone tablets and sculptures later. The following photos are just a few casual snapshots I just took yesterday.

Summer Palace in the Fall Season
Summer Palace (also known as "Yi He Garden") was once the royal palace of the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the northwestern outskirt of Beijing near the Fragrance Hills. These pictures were taken in Oct 2007 when the sky was blue and fresh breeze was warm.

Yuan Ming Garden in Early Spring
Because of close vicinity of Yuan Ming Garden to my work place (as virtually our next-door neighbor), it is the most visited place of myself in Beijing. I made another trip to this formerly Royal Palace and Garden of Qing Dynasty again today (with a friend of mine Howl). Here are a few interesting pictures that I took with my Canon 5D camera (plus a 20-mm wide-angle lens).

Bird Nest - the National Olympic Stadium
The snapshot photo-junkie is on loose and on move again. He's dangerously equipped with a handy Sony W300 camera all the time. He just got a chance yesterday to sneak by the National Olympic Stadium complex. More and more innocent-looking pictures were then unfortunately captured by this out-law dude. So, here he is sharing the Bird Nest cheap snapshots with people around this tiny globe.

Houhai Lake with Cyan Filter
Among those pics from the previous Houhai Lake collection posted on this blog, most of them were taken by black-and-white shooting mode with Yellow Filter. But some of them were actually taken in full colors and were processed by Photoshop with neutral decoloring method. So, for the exploration of the effect of filters on black and white photos, I just did an experiment with Photoshop on these pics. Only a special color channel (Cyan) is copied out from original color pictures. It turns out I got some amazing black-and-white finishing result from them. All the sky in the pics is now showing a mystic deep-dark tone. Anyway, here they are, for your viewing pleasure.

Capitol of the Lone Star State
The following is a few selected snapshots of the State Capitol of Texas taken during my trip to Austin, Texas in Nov 2008. Austin is the land that I first touched when I arrived in America more than 20 years ago. This trip in 2008 has certainly brought back a lot of cherished memory to me. It was absolutely a wonderful experience walking casually through the Capitol again more than 13 years later.

Exploring Sex Appeal
Sex appeal - it is almost in the eyes of the beholder. It is usually hinted and suggested in a very subtle way. It is just human nature. However, it is also the hardest part to be captured through lenses. This is just an updated experimental collection for exploring sex appeal through the photography.

A Casual Walk through 798 Art District
Beijing's 798 Art District may be seen by non-artistic flocks as "weird". But its weirdness is not without some merits. Here is just a small collection of photos taken by myself in several trips of mine over there during 2008 and earlier this year. I wish this would give you a brief glimpse of what kind of stuffs you might be encountering when you visit there.

Pilgrimage to Tibetan Plateau
Himalayan mountains, the roof of the world, has been a lofty place for me to long for. Eventually, I made a pilgrimage trip to the Tibetan Plateau in mid-August of 2007 and got intimately close to this pure holy land. Here are a few photos I have taken with the Canon Powershot Pro1 during the trip, as a piece of unforgettable memory cherished in my heart. I promised that I will return again some day for further exploration of the area.

Impression of the Golden Gate Bridge
So, here we are. This is no doubt the most beautiful bridge in the world. No, it is not just a bridge. It is actually also the most magnificent masterpiece of art ever exited in the world. Through the camera, now we're going to explore the many different pretty faces of this masterpiece. The original photos were taken in both Nov 2005 and Feb 2006 separately. And this time we would like to experiment a little using an unusual frame size 9:16 (the DVD format). Hopefully this would give us a very extraordinary wide-angle to view this wonderful landmark which is standing in the gateway of the San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean.

In the Shadow of the Imperial Dynasty
In the center of Beijing lies the Forbidden City of the imperial Ming Dynasty, built by the Yong Le Emperor in 1420 AD. It had been the main imperial court and royal residence for many emperors of both Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty. I have had a tour again in 2005 and taken quite a few photos with my previous camera Canon Powershot Pro1. I got a chance to review these pics again recently and decided to give them a different look. So, I re-touched and processed them with Adobe Lightroom and converted them into a set of Selenium-toned pitcures. Hopefully this would give you a glimps of the architectural grandieur and artistic marvels of this ancient "Central Kingdom".

A Photographic Tour of Stanford "Farm"
Stanford University (also known by its full name: Leland Stanford Junior University) is one of the most prestigious universities in the US. It was founded in 1891 AD by Californian railway tycoon Leland Stanford in memory of his son. It used to be Stanford's family farm before it was turned into an education institution. Its fame has certainly surpassed as just a university since it is also regarded as the cradle of the "Silicon Valley" and a hotbed for high-tech incubation. For more info regarding to the university, one may directly go visit their web site at - http://www.Stanford.EDU/. The following photographic tour would give you a brief impression of this American university. These photos were all taken by myself in July 2004.

Yesterday's Flora Living in My Heart
Here I want to put up a special memorial blog for the previous camera I had - Canon Powershot Pro1. It was stolen in March 2008 by thieves working in the US Airports when my camera was packed within my checked-in luggage. The camera had accompanied me quietly for my bumpy life over the years. It had recorded many visual images faithfully. The following is just a collection of flora photos taken by this camera in the past. Also just like the camera, all these beautiful creatures have gone by now. However, they're all still living in my heart and will go on with their spelendors for ever and ever.

Pre-digital Photos in 1990s
Here is a historical collection of my photographic works done in early 1990s during the age when films were still the mainstream media for camera. I was using a Canon EOS 5 at the time and shot most of the pictures in slides with my favorite Fujichrome Velvia and Provia films. These pictures were later selected and scanned into computer and were put on the Internet in my personal website at Stanford in 1997 (March 19, 1997 as the exact date of the JPEG files as I noticed on the photos).

A Glimpse of Skimming Light
This is another historical archive of my early photographic works. In March of 1997, I have published another set of exhibition on the Internet. The pictures were still selected and scanned from my Fujichrome slides taken during the mid-1990's. It was exhibited in the column of "Art Gallery" entitled "A Glimpse of Skimming Light" on a newly established web-based magazine "Guo Feng" (or "Civil Wind"). Thanks to my friend Bu Guang (http://buguang.spaces.live.com/) who has saved a copy in his personal collection, now I'm able to share them here after 12 years. (Note: those repeating pics in this exhibition which have already been shown in my previous blog entries are now being excluded from showing here)

I'm running Arch Linux (with Con Kolivas' ck1 patchset, although that shouldn't affect this issue) and using the proprietary Nvidia graphics driver, currently at version 313.26 (my card is a GeForce GTX 670).
I use redshift to adjust the color temperature of my screen for more comfortable/healthy viewing; it uses XRandR to do its thing. The problem is, it doesn't affect the cursor. So when I'm using my computer at night, the whole screen has a nice soft color, but the mouse cursor is rendered at the normal 6500K, which is really jarring. I can't provide a screenshot because the color adjustment only applies to the monitor.
The reason for the cursor ignoring the color change is that the cursor is rendered by the graphics hardware, and so it bypasses the processing that redshift applies. This is a known issue and the author of the program basically says he can't do anything about it.
I've tried enabling software cursor rendering using
HWCursor off or
SWCursor on (or both). This makes the cursor affected by the color adjustment, as expected, but the cursor is really glitchy. It lags, disappears every few seconds, and leaves strange artifacts wherever it goes. It's pretty much unusable.
On my laptop, using the open source Intel driver, the cursor is properly adjusted by redshift and it renders fine (no lag, artifacts, etc.). So that machine is either (a) using a software cursor which is working much better for some reason, or (b) using a hardware cursor which is properly applying the color adjustment. I don't know which it is, and I'm not sure how to find out (suggestions welcome).
So I need to either get the hardware cursor to obey redshift or get the software cursor to stop glitching. I'm thinking the latter would be easier, since I've seen many people with the former problem and haven't seen anyone with a solution. In any case, I'm not sure how to approach either problem and any help would be appreciated.

Cooler weather brings stews, chowders and chili, all of which were up for sampling at Salvation Army's second Kettle Cook-Off on Saturday on Newberry Street.
Thirteen local organizations and businesses came out to show off their cooking skills. People then could come by, sample the slow cooker treats and contributed as much money as they wished to the organizations' kettles, said Capt. Angela Repass, director of Aiken County's Salvation Army.
At the end, the establishment whose kettle contained the most money won a prize package with items such as Steeplechase tickets, gift certificates and coffee mugs. A second-place winner will also be decided, with prizes such as a cookbook from Aiken Dried Goods.
The Mommy & Me Missions table served Thai Beef Curry, a beef stir fry mixed with coconut milk and red curry.
"I tried a couple of things. I did the taste-testing on my children, and this was their favorite," Jennifer Bhurd of Mommy & Me, a 2-year-old organization aimed at teaching children the value of serving, said. "So that's why I chose this one."
Bhurd was at the cook-off with her husband, John, and daughters Alex, who was working another one of the Mommy & Me booths, and Libby, who was bouncing at the bounce houses provided at the event.
Mommy & Me was also selling baked goods this year and attended the cook-off last year with a Pork Posole dish.
The winner last year was Aiken County Solicitor Strom Thurmond Jr. with his chicken stew.
This year, David Miller with Aiken County Solicitor's Office and his wife Chrissey, who works with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, were there to hopefully win again.
"What was that saying from that guy," Chrissey Miller said, looking toward her husband David Miller, "play to win the game."
The Millers had in their Crock-Pot turkey molé, a Mexican-type dish with ingredients such as ancho chili peppers, tomatoes, almonds, cinnamon, cloves and, yes even, chocolate.
"It does well in the crockpot, and it's something a little bit unusual," Chrissey Miller said. "Most people don't have chocolate as part of their main course. ... And turkey seemed Thanksgiving-like."
Their daughter Gracey was with them, playing around the booth.
Other organizations and people in the contest included Silver Bluff Animal Hospital with its Mexican Chicken Chowder, Paula "KitchenAid" Bashner and David "Hotsauce" Stinson with their Wagmore Stew; Nance, McCants & Massey with its Beef Burgundy, and Jennifer Nalepa with her Chipotle Chili.
The Buffetts were just getting started on their taste-testing trip but had enjoyed everything they tried so far.
Matthew Buffett was volunteering his time with the band, while his wife Tara Buffett came out with the children Reagan and Madison, so they could enjoy the bounce houses.
Marilyn Buffett joined to assist Tara Buffett with the children and enjoy the day.
"It's great Aiken has a cook-off," Marilyn Buffett said.
Refreshments other than the cook-off items included coffee from One Tree Coffee, boiled peanuts and macaroni and cheese.
The Salvation Army Brass band, the Southern Thunder Cloggers and a praise band performed.
In addition to the bounce houses, there was face painting, craft stations and corn hole.
Around this time last year, when Salvation Army started up its red kettle campaign, Repass wanted to do something original for the Aiken community.
"The red kettle campaign of the Salvation Army is the largest one-time fundraiser through the entire year, so we have always had a kick-off," she said about the fundraiser which often involves representatives asking people to donate money into the red Salvation Army containers usually placed in front of businesses. "Every community does something different, and last year I decided I wanted to be something big. I wanted it to be something special, something different from the norm, so we came up with this idea. And this really kicks off the Christmas season for the Salvation Army."
During Christmas, the local branch provides toys and food to hundreds of children and families.
All proceeds of the event went to local Salvation Army programs, such as its homeless shelter, soup kitchen, social services office and Boys & Girls Club.
"We are so thankful to the Aiken community and how they support us throughout the year but especially during this time of year," Repass said. "And it's just an opportunity for everybody to show their Christmas spirit and be a shield for those in need."

Twitter: @AustinMcCarl17A
Website: www.AustinMcCarl.com
Sponsors: Simplot Growing Solutions, Bargain Barn Tire Center
Bio: At 22 years of age, Austin McCarl enters the 2015 season as a driver/car owner. Two years of part-time duty and wrenching on his father Terry's car have him hungry for more action. 2014 ended sweet for Austin, who copped the $10,000 finale at Huset's Speedway.
A sixth place run in points at Knoxville Raceway was Austin best, and he picked up "Most Improved" Driver honors that season. He also qualified for the Knoxville Nationals championship event that season at the age of 18. Austin picked up the first 410 win of his career on June 18, 2010 at the Rapid Speedway in Rock Rapids, Iowa. He was a "true" 410 rookie in 2009. After racing a handful of 360 races in 2008, the Southeast Polk High School student/athlete tackled the 410 class.
Having a World of Outlaw Sprint Car driver as a father, it's not too hard to figure out what Austin is trying to do. Austin started racing in a go-kart at the young age of eleven at an indoor track in Waterloo, IA and even raced a few shows at the dirt track in Newton. With his father Terry being gone most of the summer it was hard for young Austin to get much racing in. The indoor venues were nice because of the simple fact that they were during the winter season and it was easier for the entire family to be a part of Austin's karting career. Austin was no slouch behind the wheel of the kart as he won nearly 30% of the races he entered in.
After just a few races in 2006, it was time to move up and a 600cc Micro Sprint class seemed to be the best option. His first year in the Micro's, he raced at the local 1/6th mile high banked clay oval of English Creek Speedway. He dominated and took home 12 feature wins, the Rookie of the Year Honors and the Season Championship; not a bad rookie season. This was just the first step towards professional driving and he knew that the sprint car had to be next. After the dominating season at English Creek, the McCarl family decided it was time for young Austin to get behind the wheel of a 360 Sprint Car.
Now, with one year of wheeling a sprint car under his belt, Austin is ready to take on the legendary Knoxville Raceway in the seat of an Outlaw Sprint Car. Austin, with car owner Terry and Lori McCarl, will be running the entire 410 Championship Cup Sprints schedule at Knoxville this year. The 2010 goals for this 17 year old driver are to make ever main event and have a lot of fun.
Schedule TBA

Mooi en groot appartement. Je hebt alle ruimte. De keuken is wat klein maar er zit wel alles in wat je nodig hebt. In de woonkamer is trouwens genoeg ruimte om samen te ontbijten. Meteen ook een stuk gezelliger dan in de keuken.
De slaapkamer met de eenpersoons bedden heeft een fantastisch uitzicht. 's Morgens wakker worden en dan als uitzicht het Collosseum, wat wil je nog meer.
Een ideaal appartement voor b.v. twee stellen die samen op vakantie gaan. Of een gezin met kinderen. Je hebt genoeg ruimte om allemaal de nodige privacy te hebben.
Fabio geeft bij ontvangst alle informatie. Handig is een supermarkt op een paar minuten lopen vanaf het appartement. (24/7 open!!)
Ontzettend fijn was ook het "startpakket". Er was een fles water, een pak melk, 4 croissantjes, vruchtensap en een fles wij. Genoeg om de eerste ochtend door te komen.
Wij hebben een fijne tijd gehad (2 ouders en 2 meiden van 15-16 jaar).
Uitstekend appartement met prima voorzieningen en zeer goed gelegen.
Vriendelijke ontvangst. Er stond ter verwelkoming zelfs een fles wijn gereed en de keuken stonden de eerste noodzakelijke voorraden die je zo mag gebruiken.
Prima, prima
Prachtig, zeer ruim appartement op een schitterende locatie. Gastvrije ontvangst.
Mooi startpunt om het historische Rome te bekijken, zowel wandelend als met openbaar vervoer.
Wij waren zeer onder de indruk! Absoluut aan te bevelen.
Grandparents with 2 grandchildren stayed in the apartment for 5 nights. A perfect apartment just a few minutes off from the Colosseum, Foro Romano and Palatino. We enjoyed every minute in the apartment and the sightseeing. Thank you to Marisa.
We didn't get to meet Marisa but we met her lovely nephew Fabio. Very kind and helpful. The location of the apartment was great, next to the Coloseum. Everything worked as expected. Thank you for everything, including the welcoming bottle of wine and chocolates.
Thank you for a wonderful week in Roma. The apartment is much more beautiful than you can imagine on the pictures. Actually it is so big, that we needed 2 days to open a door and behind was the correct room we searched in that moment. The "hello" was done by Fabio, Marisas nephew, which is a very, very kind guy. He made a tour thru the apartment and no question was open in the end. All you find at home, you also find there. The internet in working well, the kitchen is so well equipped that you could cook a 5 step dinner for 100 people without any problems. The fridge was filled with a big bottle of water and a new box of milk. Everything was very, very clean.
As Marisa knew that I will come for my Mums 70 b´day, there was a huge bunch of white lilies and dark red roses and a bottle of very nice red wine, which made my mum cry because she was so touched.
One out of 3 sleeping rooms has it`s window directly vis a vis the Colloseo. It was the first my mum saw in the morning and the last in the evening - very decadent view.
The master bedroom has a big balcony - big enough that 3 people could have breakfast in the sun.
As Fabio was just perfect in all areas, he showed us a close and gratis parking and 3 supermarkets - less 5 min to walk.
All in all, it was the best travel experience I've ever made and I would visit Roma again, just to relax in Marisas apartment. Dear Marisa, dear Fabio: Thank you so, so much for all you have done for us. I wish you just nice and gentle guests for your little villa :o)
Fantastic location, close to all the sights. The apartment itself is spacious and nice. Fabio always responded immediately when we had questions. The only recommendation I have is that it would be good to have a list of telephone numbers (for example of a doctor) in the apartment in case of an emergency.
We arrived in Rome very late due to an unscheduled change and the Landlord's nephew was there to meet us along with a tax collector (!). The apartment was clean and air conditioned, which in Rome during the summer we really appreciated. The apartment was actually rather large. The master bedroom had a nice big bed in a nice big room. Our family of 6 slept well (ages 2,6,10 and 18) and the dining room came in very handy as the (separate) kitchen was pretty small. Good supply of utensils and cookware and a "Nespresso" machine we used a lot. Plenty of groceries and late-night markets nearby. There's a fresh produce stand on a side street about 250 meters distant with _everything_.
The landlord was always available via phone and responsive to our needs and questions, for example how to operate the washing machine (a temperamental device in need of replacement). No drier, you have to hang your clothes. Site visits were conducted by the nephew, a pleasant chap.
As with every other place we have stayed, we found our ability to conduct minor repairs to be an asset.
One disappointment was the WiFi internet connection. It was good enough to get email but the bandwith was pretty small, and it needed to be reset with some frequency.
This nice apartment made our stay in Rome quite pleasant, especially at the end of a long hot day.

Jury Grand Prix
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jury Grand Prix (also Grand Jury Prize, Grand Prize of the Jury) is a Silver Bear award given by the jury at the Berlin International Film Festival to one of the feature films in competition. It is the runner-up to the Golden Bear prize and is considered the second most prestigious prize at the festival.[1]
The award was first introduced at the 15th Berlin International Film Festival in 1965. The prize was also formerly known as the Special Jury Prize. In 2000 at the 50th Berlin International Film Festival, its title was officially changed to "Jury Grand Prix".

The number of murders rose by one-third or more so far this year compared to the same period last year in Baltimore, New Orleans, St. Louis, and Milwaukee. Chicago saw a nearly 20 percent increase in homicides.
America incarcerates prisoners at a higher rate than any other country, and they are disproportionately black men. There's no better place to see the trend than Milwaukee, where mass imprisonment has devastated communities.

PHENIX CITY, Ala. (AP) - A 40-year-old man is accused of
stealing brass vases off tombstones across the Chattahoochee
Warren Smallwood was first arrested Monday on charges of
first-degree theft and desecration of a grave out of Phenix City,
Ala. along the Georgia-Alabama border, according to the Columbus
Ledger-Enquirer. He was charged with the same offenses in Chambers
County, Ala. on Tuesday for alleged thefts at Skyview Memorial
Gardens in November.
Police say he would sell the vases, which could bring $200
apiece. Smallwood was being held in the Chambers County Jail. He was in the process of being transferred to Russell County Wednesday
evening, jail officials said.

2 reviews | 4.5 out of 5
I did some research online before buying this and I've had it up and running for two weeks now.
The case is well made, with enough room to upgrade easily. This tower comes with 1 120mm fan in the back to push out hot air. I put two blue led 140mm fans in the top, two blue led 120mm fans in the side, and 1 color changing 120mm led fan in the front. This thing really stays cool and looks great now. Also added a led fan controller in one of 4 front 5.25 bays and a bluray burner in another to go with the cd/dvd burner that comes with this. Everything was as stated in the: Additional Features, except for the 2 x PCI Express (x1) slots, Which Are Not Included On The Motherboard. The only problem at all I have with this system is the Graphics Card, which is about $40.00 to buy new, and for that price, as expected, is not very good at all, even though it has an HDMI port. Playing even simple games, or Youtube videos full screen, have caused my screen to freeze, and then reset itself, giving the error message that the graphics card driver has failed. So if you want to do anything more than basic computing, plan on buying a new graphics card. The power supply is 350 watts, so you can get a much better graphics card for about $100 that will work great without changing the power block to a higher wattage. The AMD processor is Low End as well, even though it says 3.6ghz, but this entire system is good for the price. After adding about $200 in upgrades, this thing Looks Sharp, and Works Great! This is now the nicest Computer my family has ever owned, and the fact that it is easy to upgrade, means that we will be using it for many years to come... I will add more to this review later, if I have any other problems... Shipping was from California to me in PA in about 7 days total. Computer was packed very well and was undamaged, started right up with Windows 8, which is Very Nice!
This is truely a great product. I custom build computers for people. and im really into gaming i bought this computer because ive been tight on money and its a great computer. Fast speed, nice disk space for all my files. My only concern with this is make sure you get the extended warranty. Though below in the Q&A it says it has a 300w PSU (power supply Unit), mine is only a 230w. It just went out on me last night. So just be aware your PSU could go out. Easy fix and replace. you can have the company do it or do it yourself if you know how. I also use this product every other day for everything from facebook to watching and streaming videos.
Overall give this computer a 10 out of 10

I've looked at practically every file included in the libcurl source package and can't seem to find where the CURLOPT_* options are defined. I gather that they're probably integers, perhaps an enum, but for the life of me I can't find them.
The language I'm writing in is RealBasic, if that matters at all. Generally when using an external library written in C I need to manually find and translate the various

Red Hat Developer Studio Beta Released
Red Hat Linux has just released a beta version of its Red Hat Developer Studio. The developer environment, which is based on Eclipse, is targeted at facilitating the development of new applications for Red Hat solutions, and migrating existing applications.
According to Red Hat, the integrated development environment (IDE) targets Jboss middleware and enterprise distribution, and has been released fully under Open Source licenses
Besides Red Hat's own core products, offers by Red Hat's strategic partner Exadel will also be offered to developers. The combination of in-house middleware with Exadel tools should help to facilitate the development of SOA components and Web 2.0 applications. The tools include Exadel Studio Pro, the RichFaces framework for development of Java Server Faces (JSF), and the Ajax4jsf Framework for integration of Ajax technologies with JSF applications. Red Hat Studio also gives developers a Java environment with WYSIWYG functionality.
Developer Studio is available for Linux and Windows and can be downloaded here. Red Hat will be publishing the final version, which should be available this summer, under GPLv2. Distribution will use subscription channels.

Homo Bishop Prick
posted by December 25 at 12:33 PMon
Episcopal churches in the United States, horrified by the liberal drift of their church (ordaining women, marrying gay people), have crawled into bed with this man.
The way he tells the story, the first and only time Archbishop Peter J. Akinola knowingly shook a gay person's hand, he sprang backward the moment he realized what he had done.
Archbishop Akinola, the conservative leader of Nigeria's Anglican Church who has emerged at the center of a schism over homosexuality in the global Anglican Communion, re-enacted the scene from behind his desk Tuesday, shaking his head in wonder and horror.
"This man came up to me after a service, in New York I think, and said, 'Oh, good to see you bishop, this is my partner of many years,'" he recalled. "I said, 'Oh!' I jumped back."
Nigeria recently passed a law that makes it a crime for two gay people to be in the same room together, a bill Archbishop Bigot supports. Two gay men or two lesbians seen together could wind up in prison for five years. (Where they would encounter many other homos, presumably.) I would ask if the American congregations that recently voted to put themselves under this bigot's authority also support that draconian law but I already know the answer. These "conservative" parishes are all in Virginia, home to America's most draconian anti-gay laws.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

I released inline 0.3.6 yesterday. This is a minor release which gives better R level errors when there is a compiler error. For example :

Program source: 1: // includes from the plugin 2: #include <R.h> 3: #include <Rdefines.h> 4: #include <R_ext/Error.h> 5: 6: 7: // user includes 8: 9: 10: // declaration 11: extern "C" { 12: SEXP file10d63af1( ) ; 13: } 14: 15: // definition 16: 17: SEXP file10d63af1( ){ 18: int x = 3 ; x+ ; return R_NilValue ; 19: Rf_warning("your C++ program does not return anything"); 20: return R_NilValue ; 21: } 22: 23: [1] "Compilation ERROR, function(s)/method(s) not created! file10d63af1.cpp: In function 'SEXPREC* file10d63af1()':\nfile10d63af1.cpp:18: error: expected primary-expression before ';' token\nmake: *** [file10d63af1.o] Error 1"
The compile error is part of the message of the R error, with previous versions, the R error always had the same message "Compilation ERROR, function(s)/method(s) not created!".
This will be especially useful for developing Rcpp, which rely on inline for unit testing

I'd like to try rsync in batch mode against a list of target hosts. The assumption is that all target hosts are at state X. I'd go and create the batch file for rsync against a reference host in that list and apply it to the remaining hosts. Big question is: What will happen if one of these remaining hosts is NOT at the same state as the reference host (Which may have happened because it was out of the loop the last time i synchronized all hosts). Will rsync tell me that something wrong happened? Or will it happily apply the batch file, producing garbage on the unsynchronised host? Any experience?
