Was the Y2K problem or ``millenium bug'' a hoax? Mere hype? What does the way this issue was handled say about the mechanisms in place for preventing or repairing defective software? About our society's dependence on technology?
How private is e-mail? Is it ethically justifiable for a company to monitor the e-mail of its employees? For an internet service provider to monitor the e-mail of its customers? Is it legitimate for ordinary citizens to use strong cryptography to protect the privacy of their e-mail messages?
Web browser cookies: what are they? What legitimate purposes do they serve? How can they compromise users' privacy? What can be done to prevent cookies from being used in unethical ways?
E-mail chain letters at least waste people's time and at worst are used for confidence schemes. Can/should something be done about them? Chat rooms and online forums are places for people to air their views freely, but some contributors conceal their true identities or motives. Is the ethical requirement of honesty relaxed simply because the medium makes deceit so easy?
A related issue might be called bio-info-ethics, dealing with the convergence of information technology and medical advances: Who owns the human genome? Who should benefit from medical discoveries derived from it, or from studies based on tissue or blood samples from individuals? On a more personal level, who has a right to see your medical record? Who should be able to choose the kind of medical treatment you receive?
What concrete steps could be taken to reduce these inequities? Are any such steps being taken now?
Still stumped for a topic? Here is a list of all topics that have been used for presentions at one time or another in this class.

tri-tronics all the way!!! very good to work with.
You must always push the limits, because if you never fail you will never succeed.
Sport Dogs got way cooler decals
"Do more than is required of you"
General George S. Patton
I've never owned a SD due to the reviews on here, I used to live in Knoxville which is the home office of SD. I had a chance to try out a 1825 and didn't like it very much. I have always used a 3500 dogtra and recently got a TT pro 500 and I love it, I could not say enough about the TT compared to the dogtra, don't get me wrong the dogtra served it's purpose and still gets some use today. So I would go with a TT as my first choice and second choice would be Dogtra.
Rankin' Retrievers
The new Garmin is worth a look
and several Dogtra models, too. (I've used 2 1800's for 8+yrs, but they're discontinued.)
I have a friend who is satisfied with a SD. You'll probably like the bulky TT Flyway, 200, or 500.
Too many choices...
Another vote for TT. One can also find refurbished units to get a higher end collar and pocket some $$.
Suffice it to say that I had enough problems with a Sport Dog collar to more than make up for the like, two guys, on this thread praising that brand. I would NEVER buy another Sport Dog product. Go with TriTronics. They dominate the "serious trainer" market for a reason. Dogtra makes good stuff, too.

I had a sportdog 1825. I had problems with it since day 1. Noticed early on that often when you attempted to apply a "nick" the dog would not respond. Then you would attempt it again and the dog would respond. For a while I thought I just did not have the intensity at the right level for my dog. Same thing would happen when I turned the intensity up. Dog would not respond at all and then the next time he would yelp because intensity was obviously too high. Then I decided to strap the thing on me and walk 50 yards away from my buddy. Sure enough when he would attempt to Nick me it would only go through maybe half the time. Sent the collar back and they sent me a brand new one. IT had the exact same problem. GO with TRitronics. Sport Dog is very inconsistent to say the least.
Do your dog a favor & buy either a Dogtra or Tri Tronics collar.

Lennart Staflin announced the release of a new ALPHA version of Emacs/PSGML. Anybody can download it and try it out. From the announcement:
I have taken Dave Love's patches and merged with the changes I did between 1.2.4 and 1.2.5. I think Dave only tested with Emacs 21, and I haven't done extensive testing either. It would be nice if we could get this working on Emacs 19.23, 20.7, 21.x and on XEmacs ??.? before doing a public release.

|Worldwide Flyfishing Discussion Talk flyfishing with members around the world!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Clarification of All the Recent Activity
Suggestion: The Channel 2 auction has a very large viewing audience. Perhaps if some donated items could be put together (fly fishing starter kit, fly box with flies, etc.) and auctioned there? Might bring in more than what they go for on the board.
RE:Clarification of All the Recent Activity
Tim -
That was such an inspiring anecdote... up until this point I had been saying it's good for "us", but your point is well taken - it's very good for our our causes. In fact history demonstrates that collaboration for a cause pulls people together very effectively, and we know the web is a good media to shrink the world into something more manageable to work with.
Great point!
RE:Clarification of All the Recent Activity
One benifit of a wide reaching forum is the ability it gives us to address fish problems that might otherwise not get the attention they deserve. A good exaple of this took place up in Maine a couple years back. There was a problem with water flows in a somewhat unkown river that was causing Salmon Reds to go dry. We posted the story on several different forums along with the Governors e mail and the DIFW directors e mail. The response was incredible it was like a cyber pitch fork march on the statehouse. They were getting letters from folks all the way from California and Washington State about a river that they hardly knew existed. Later the director of DIFW phoned my brother to call the dogs off and asked him what he wanted to do with the river. Thanks to forums like these the river won't run dry again. We shouldn't under estimate the power of world wide connections.
RE:Clarification of All the Recent Activity
Matt: I agree with you and DO see the benefits of having wider contacts.
RE:Clarification of All the Recent Activity
I agree with Juro, I think it is in all our best interests to attract as many fishermen from as wide an area as possible to this site. I personally benifited from the diversity we already have on this site this fall when Nate provided me with some excellent information for a trip down to Cape Lookout. I'm currently gearing up for a trip to Costa Rica and I wish i had a contact with as much local knowledge as Nate had about NC.
Ideally this could be a place you could come to find someone to fish your home waters with over the weekend or someone who could give you the inside line or maybe even show you around at some exotic fishing locale.
RE:Clarification of All the Recent Activity
Terry -
I appreciate your translation!
Terry said:
Translation: A local New England board is cool and we benefit form it the most, but; being connected to the rest of the FF world would be in our interest too some how.
Meaning no disrespect, your perspective is locally focused. I agree that people from the northeast will benefit from a New England board the most. The striper board demonstrates that - not to mention the intense times we enjoy on the water in this region. Yet there are at least two more of those boards to choose from in the area - although neither are really flyfishing boards they more than fill the bill.
Please tell me if you disagree but in the discussion of "deep vs. wide" I don't think "deep" is worth doing without going "wide" (eg. regionally-deep and world-wide). I also feel that locally deep sites are kinda missing the magic of the web, and in my mind that's half the mission of this venture. You'll be glad to know - the other half is alive and well here in the northeast. What we have here is hard to find no matter where you go... but should it be?
I believe the magic of the forum can bring intensity to any region of the country, the world - someday. Sure it will take time but it's worth it.
I need to point out that this site is soon evolving into something that does not have the deep and wide dilemma of which we speak.
You'll see what I mean as we roll out some of the new site architecture. You'll have a kick-as$ New England site. You will also have the best network of fly-fishing friends in their own kick-as$ communities - I am equally dedicated to this. The new architecture supports this as well.
To me, one is not whole without the other.
But I really appreciate your passion for all this. It won't be easy for other regions to keep up with with the Yankee spirit!
RE:Clarification of All the Recent Activity
Juro: Thanks for the clarifications.
Juro said:"We are founded on regional intensity complemented by global connectivity."
Translation: A local New England board is cool and we benefit form it the most, but; being connected to the rest of the FF world would be in our interest too some how.
I guess we need to understand why you want to take the board there. I'm sure some would be happy to just keep it simple and not rock the boat, others maybe want contacts all over.
A little more clarification here would help.
Clarification of All the Recent Activity
Terry makes a good point. It must be hard to pull all the recent activity into context. Here is an explanation, please ask questions at will:
FIRST AND FOREMOST - there will be NO PROFIT TAKING from any of these fund activities in 2001.
The objective of the recent fund raising work is to use the least active season to set ourselves up through 2001. Once the action gets hot again in the spring (discounting Aussies and Kiwi's who are entering into the peak season now) we all have a hard time focusing on taking care of business - and I am the worst of the bunch!
Why do we need funds?
We need to cover hosting costs which will be around $720 this year, or $60/month. This does not include anything more than the ISP upgrade I will need in 2001 - like software, related costs like the scanners, mpeg converters, and other stuff I invested into last year.
I also feel we should provide fly lines of choice to all who contribute the "article of the month" in 2001. This is less than the hosting costs, but if we honor one article a month it will be $600 / year.
Then there are the raffle items - top of the line rods and reels, etc. Whatever's left over from the initial round will be used to fund chances for people to get something they normally wouldn't afford, or even if they could it is something they got by contributing to the cause. We'll make it something you can only get from the FORUM, for instance.
Lastly there is carry-over for 2002. The results of the final raffles will be put into escrow for 2002, and each year we should build the pot until the raffle is for a week in Belize with your wife, all expenses paid. We gotta start somewhere!
Why carry-over to 2002?
Because I DO NOT want to put everyone through this in November of 2001 to get set for 2002! We should have enough in the organization's account to avoid winter fund-raising activities. Otherwise we'll have to do it again! Not everyone thinks it's a bad thing to raise funds in winter, but building a rollover base is good business.
Then there's the mission of the site....
We are founded on regional intensity complemented by global connectivity. The priority for each should be 50/50. We will DEFINITELY pay attention to being the kind of awesome regional club that we were in 2000 - but we must network to become an alliance of regionally intense clubs spanning the breadth of the internet.
Sure each season is measured in visits to home waters - but our lives are measured by the breadth of the waters we get to sample. We should be parochial yes - but equally global.
When I was young my parents travelled all over the world (dad was a University professor and cancer researcher). As a result no matter where I stood I could feel the circumference of the Earth in the shadows of my shoes. Although I celebrate the span of my eyesight, I always feel the undercurrents of a Patagonian stream in Luis' images; the push of a glacial river on a steelhead journey, or the lazy waves of the Florida Keys lapping the mangrove roots.
I am not driven to put this kind of time and energy into a regional-only site - but what I envision is more than worth a lifetime's effort.
I hope you are all with me!

This all-in-one beef stew, made fast with baby-cut carrots, canned tomatoes, and frozen green beans, simmers all day to meld flavors perfectly.
This stew can be also be prepared in a Dutch oven. Mix all ingredients except carrots and green beans. Cover; bake at 300°F 6 to 7 hours, stirring occasionally, adding carrots and green beans during last hour of bake time. Remove bay leaves before serving.
Feel free to substitute frozen peas for the green beans--either veggie will work well.

The New Romantics
When he crafted Richard Gere's suits in American Gigolo, Giorgio Armani set the standard for men, and ultimately women. Testament to his tailoring prowess that nearly 35 years later, Gere still looks on point in that movie. And testament that 35 years later, Armani is still cutting terrific suits...and dressing nearly half of Hollywood.
Fall was all about ladies in gray, and shades there of, injected with lime green. As usual, Armani always keeps things loose and easy—silhouettes that skim, don't cling—with gentle layers of the best Italian materials.

Binghamton University to Award Highest Honor
Binghamton University will award University Medals, the highest honor it can bestow, to Richard W. Couper and Kay Couper Watrous in a ceremony at 3:30 p.m. Monday, May 2, in the Grand Corridor of the Fine Arts Building on campus.
Son and daughter of Edgar and Esther Couper, the recipients are receiving the honor in recognition of their abiding interest in and steadfast support of their parents' legacy.
Edgar Couper, president of a local insurance company, chaired the executive committee of the Southern Tier State University Committee that was instrumental in bringing Triple Cities College, now Binghamton University, into the SUNY system. Edgar Couper served on the State University Board of Regents from 1961-1968, including a term as chancellor. He was a member of the SUNY-Binghamton Foundation and a charter member of Harpur Forum. Upon his death in 1988, the University's administration building was renamed the Edgar W. Couper Administration Building.
The ceremony precedes the 13th annual Edgar W. Couper Lecture, which is funded by the Edgar W. Couper Endowment Fund for Educational Excellence. Andy Hargreaves, Thomas More Brennan Chair of Education in the Lynch School of Education at Boston College, will give this year's Couper lecture on "Sustainable Educational Change," at 4:30 p.m., in the Anderson Center Chamber Hall.
In addition to supporting the annual lecture, the endowment provides support for two Couper Fellows in the School of Education and Human Development doctoral program.

For many artists digital and analog image-capture and production seem to force a choice. Reese Inman merges the two, creating hybrid artworks that explore the mutability of information. A recent graduate of the University of Maine's Intermedia MFA Program, Inman seems equally at home with paint and computer. Her exhibition, "Analog/Digital," at the University of Maine at Augusta consists of 21 paintings and three videos, which powerfully interplay and provide context for each other. Among oppositional themes suggested by the pairing, physical touch and immaterial technology seem the most obvious. Aesthetically though, paintings and videos are both built up of incremental components, not dissimilar to bytes of information.
In purely descriptive terms, Inman's "Algorithm Map Paintings" contain colorful dots in various configurations on monochrome or slightly modulated backgrounds. They are hand-made recreations based on snapshots or printouts of computers running algorithms. Each colored dot is rendered with a drop of paint; repeated painting and sanding result in fields of raised dots or lozenge-like shapes surrounded by more or less discernible rings of colors.
Like pointillist abstractions, the paintings range in mood from baroque opulence in "Remix VI" (2009), to the flare of digital code streaming over a screen in "Isoltantalus III" (2006). In fact, the gallery can feel like a control room in some computer center with screens flickering all around, but the color palettes of dots and backgrounds are strikingly nuanced and beautiful. The accumulation and distribution of dots is greatly but sometimes subtly varied. Some paintings evoke nocturnal aerial views of urban areas, like topographies of light. None of them read like outtakes of a larger matrix, as the compositions perfectly honor the edges of the panels. Occasional flaws in execution where dots have merged to form irregular shapes are welcome disruptions of same-ness and indicators of the hand-made.
What is the subject of these paintings? If it is contained in the algorithms of dots, it has become inaccessible and only serves as a pretext for the exploration of the generative area between analog and digital, handmade and machine-generated, original and copy.
Inman's three videos are part of her "Video Remapping Project," which I find conceptually more interesting than the paintings. She developed software that essentially overlays one set of parameters with another, obscuring the meaning of both. The videos' imagery is made up of a collection of still images of eyes, flowers, and video-game characters that replaces film footage of disaster movies, Times Square, and nature scenes from the Discovery Channel. Just like every digital image breaks down into pixels, "Disaster Movie Eyes," "Times Square Garden," and "Discovery Channel Super Mario" are comprised of standardized units of images. Viewers look at nothing but eyes, flowers, and graphic icons in rapid-fire succession — it is their relative size, color, and constant change that suggest larger imagery to us. Remnants of visual meaning become discernible only from a distance in an endless oscillation between representation and abstraction, between recognizability and illegibility.

Most of the time an issue that "just happens" is usually due to something we have done - realized or not. Methodically work it out and maintain balance.

A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of widths.
May want to record your routine when setting up for blinds. Perhaps you are inadvertently creating stress for him and this is the result. Maybe change it up some.

Too many dogs to list (By some Bitch)
"Helping Hunters Train Their Dogs"
The cause could be a lot of different things. Sounds like you are open to suggestion and are willing to try almost anything. This is a solution that would definitely fall into the category of unorthodox or creative. Assuming that you don't feel that the no go is a result of confusion or overuse of pressure, try this. Water force again with the stick fetch method. When your dog gets the concept down pretty well, have two buddies sit behind you in chairs with the stick hidden. If you get a no go have them reenforce with the stick. That way you avoid the dog getting collar wise for the test. He will never know when the judge is gonna pull that damn stick out! It's an old school method that I have no idea if it will work or not but what have you got to lose?
I have to comment in general - and not specific to this dog not knowing the back ground or training. I am probably the contrarian in this discussion but there are two things that IMO are most always caused by pressure - sticking & no-going. In either case it may not be direct pressure. So I would be very careful using pressure to solve the problem (that would include caution with revisiting pile drills). As relates to no-going, it can also be confusion & you have to always follow the same routine & not rush a dog when running a blind (which a handler might do at an event due to nerves & get too fast) to eliminate confusion as a possible cause. Assuming that confusion is not the cause with a dog that has shown he will no-go, I would develop a very methodical routine & look very intently for a dog's cues or reactions just before a send when it is successful. These might be very insignificant cues, it may be an expression on the dog's face, a lean toward the line to be taken, etc. And don't send your dog until you see your dog communicate that he will go by the expression of the cue he shows when he does go in training.
I mentioned pressure as a cause. It may be indirect pressure. It may be that a dog doesn't really like water blinds & his natural inclination is to avoid them. However, the dog's training may be such that the dog chooses to go in training rather than be punished for not going. So again, I would be very careful with the use of pressure to correct a no-going issue, it may make it worse. The real cure will come in finding a way to improve the dog's desire to run a water blind. You can help with your methodical approach to preparing the dog to go when sent, make him at ease, relaxed, that nothing negative is going to happen. So you have to find a way for your dog to be rewarded beyond the normal reward of retrieving a bird at the end of a blind. Not easy & probably unique to each dog but no-going can end a career of HTs or FTs so it is worth the effort.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Test Your ISP
Late on Friday night, Comcast filed an overview of its new traffic management arrangements with the FCC. This is the long term replacement for its controversial practice of using forged TCP Reset packets to limit the use of peer to peer protocols.
The new system appears to be a reasonable attempt at sharing limited bandwidth amongst groups of users. Unlike TCP RST spoofing, it doesn't explicitly discriminate against some applications, and it doesn't threaten protocol developers with interoperability problems and uncertainty about network behavior.
The FCC has finally published its order (adopted on August 1) directing Comcast to stop blocking BitTorrent traffic. The 34-page ruling makes for surprisingly enjoyable reading, at least as FCC publications go. The order follows the basic outline that was explained by Chairman Martin in his statement on August 1, 2008. But there are some interesting additional tidbits:
Earlier this month, Internet users welcomed the FCC's ruling against Comcast for interfering with BitTorrent uploads, celebrating the action as a victory for net neutrality. Reigning in Comcast's dishonest behavior was the right thing to do in this case, but many observers are worried that the FCC is establishing a dangerous habit of interfering with the Internet, especially since the FCC has a spotty history when it comes to serving the public.
On Friday, the FCC voted, 3-2, to punish Comcast for its surreptitious interference with BitTorrent uploads (a practice that EFF helped uncover and document in October 2007).
FCC Chairman Kevin Martin sent a signal today that the FCC may issue an order against Comcast in the wake of the scandal over their use of packet forgery to interfere with BitTorrent, Gnutella, and other Internet protocols.
EFF worked with Robb Topolski to run the first controlled tests of Comcast's RST forgery practices last year. We've been following the issue closely since then, and believe that Comcast's decision to switch to less discriminatory network management practices represented a victory for transparency, for an open network, and for common sense.

Straps become wider in larger sizes and the width of the back increases to prevent "cutting in" on shoulders and back. Basic bra models are smoothly tailored and intentionally designed without decorative elements. Exclusive bra models are finished with high quality lace or embroidery.
The Rosa Faia collection is coordinated to give you a complete look with matching panties in hipster, brief, and thong styles. Tailoring and design details have been harmonized to work together beautifully.
Garment Care:
Garments with hook and eye closures or Velcro fasteners should be closed prior to washing in order to avoid damage to lace and embroidery.
Important: The use of a mild detergent without optical color brighteners keeps the whites white for longer. The brighteners can leave a deposit on the fabric which can turn them gray. Do not use fabric softener as traces will remain in the fabric and can cause skin irritations and allergies. The hold of the garment would also be affected, leading to a lessening of its support and shape-forming characteristics.

This might be a little bit premature but I would like to hear some ideas on how the organizers of a theoretical C4 could make things better.
Here are my thoughts:
1. Selling of merchandise: It would be nice if you could pre-order online if you are a fan club member. Then, you can have your choice of either picking up there (online prepay) or having it shipped to you (instead of carrying this stuff around all day).
2. The full detail of lectures ahead of time. I always find out about who and what is speaking and at what time when I first arrive.
3. I would like to see an offer of either DVD or online webcasts of entire presentations that I couldn't make. It would have been awesome to have seen the collector panels or the initial parade.....
So, what are other ideas?

I'm starting to look forward to GVADEC in Kristiansand, Norway. Hope to see a lot of people there even if it's a bit out of the way for most of you :-)
Been trying to reduce the amount of unread messages in my mail store the last few days and it's hard going. My fedora-list folder has 12k unread messages :-/
Started working on the GNOME 2.4.2 release too and it seems there are enough new releases to justify a release fairly soon.
I'll try to get a build of the development stuff going too so I can start testing valgrind on it again.
On the personal front I entered a 9-ball tournament on monday and lost two consecutive matches and was out of the tournament. Still pretty happy with my game though. It's an internal club tournament and there's a lot of great players there so I can lose without feeling bad :-)
Next monday is 8-ball and the next after that we do 14-1. I must practise before then I guess...

The people of Chicago, that stormy, husky, brawling kind of town, sure know how to tie on the feed bag. Has any other American city patented so many signature foods? There's deep-dish pizza, smoky Polish sausages, Italian beef sandwiches au jus, and, of course, the classic Chicago-style hot dog: pure Vienna Beef on a warm poppy-seed bun with mustard, relish, pickled peppers, onions, tomato slices, a quartered dill pickle and a dash of celery salt. Alter the formula (or ask for ketchup) and you can head right back to Coney Island, pal. For better or worse, it was Chicago that transformed the Midwest's vast bounty of grains, livestock and dairy foods into Kraft cheese, Cracker Jack and Oscar Mayer wieners. And in recent years, emerging from its role as chuck wagon to the masses, Chicago finally bulled its way into the hallowed precincts of haute cuisine, led by renowned chefs Charlie Trotter, Rick Bayless and Grant Achatz, who's one of the forerunners of a movement known as molecular gastronomy. "They hate the term, but that's how people refer to it," says Mike Sula, a food columnist for the weekly Chicago Reader. "They like to call it 'techno-emotional cuisine.'" But does it taste good? "Oh yeah," he says.
From This Story
Sula filled me in during a Sunday morning stroll through the historic Maxwell Street Market (now transplanted to Desplaines Street) on the Near West Side. We weren't there for the cutting-edge cuisine, but something much older and more fundamental. Call it street food, peasant food, a taste of home—by any name, Maxwell Street has been serving it up for a long time. So it made sense to include the market on my exploration of what may be the richest of Chicago's culinary treasures: the authentic, old-country eateries scattered throughout the city's ethnic neighborhoods.
In 1951, author Nelson Algren wrote of Chicago streets "where the shadow of the tavern and the shadow of the church form a single dark and double-walled dead end." Yet President Barack Obama's hometown is also a city of hope. Visionaries, reformers, poets and writers, from Theodore Dreiser and Carl Sandburg to Richard Wright, Saul Bellow and Stuart Dybek, have found inspiration here, and Chicago has beckoned to an extraordinary range of peoples—German, Irish, Greek, Swedish, Chinese, Arab, Korean and East African, among many, many others. For each, food is a powerful vessel of shared traditions, a direct pipeline into the soul of a community. Choosing just a few to sample is an exercise in random discovery.
Maxwell Street has long occupied a special place in immigrant lore. For decades, the area had a predominantly Jewish flavor; jazzman Benny Goodman, Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg, boxing champ and World War II hero Barney Ross, not to mention Oswald assassin Jack Ruby, all grew up nearby. Infomercial king Ron Popeil ("But wait, there's more!") started out hawking gadgets here. African-Americans also figure prominently in the street's history, most memorably through performances by bluesmen like Muddy Waters, Big Bill Broonzy and Junior Wells. Today, the market crackles with Mexican energy—and the alluring aromas of Oaxaca and Aguascalientes. "There's a great range of regional Mexican dishes, mostly antojitos, or little snacks," Sula said. "You get churros, sort of extruded, sugared, fried dough, right out of the oil, fresh—they haven't been sitting around. And champurrado, a thick corn-based, chocolaty drink, perfect for a cold day."
As flea markets go, Maxwell Street is less London's Portobello Road than something out of Vittorio De Sica's Bicycle Thief, with mounds of used tires, power tools, bootleg videos, baby strollers, tube socks and lug wrenches—a poor man's Wal-Mart. A vendor nicknamed Vincent the Tape Man offers packing materials of every description, from little hockey pucks of electrical tape to jumbo rolls that could double as barbell weights.
Sula and I sampled some huaraches, thin handmade tortillas covered with a potato-chorizo mix, refried beans, grated cotija cheese and mushroomy huitlacoche, also known as corn smut or Mexican truffles—depending on whether you regard this inky fungus as blight or delight. Sula said he was sorry we hadn't been able to find something more transcendent.
"Usually there's a Oaxacan tamale stand where they have the regular corn husk–steamed tamales, plus a flatter, larger version wrapped in a banana leaf—those are fantastic," he said. "Another thing I'm disappointed not to see today is something called machitos, kind of a Mexican haggis. It's sausage, pork or lamb, done in a pig's stomach."
Sula doesn't fool around.

"During the first year of the Xi administration, China's policy toward Africa has shown several new trends that illustrate Beijing's evolving priorities and strategies in the continent. These new trends foreseeably will have significant implications for the future of Africa and Sino-Africa relations."
Most strikingly, China under Xi has greatly and assertively enhanced its direct involvement in Africa's security affairs. Two months into Xi's reign, Beijing unprecedentedly dispatched 170 combat troops from the People's Liberation Army's (PLA) Special Force to the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Mali. Compared with China's past tradition of dispatching only non-combat staff such as engineers and medical personnel, this is the first time China sent "combat troops" to a foreign country under a U.N. mandate. It remains to be seen whether the move changes PLA's tacit operating principle of "no troops on foreign soil" given the U.N. authorization and local government consent. Nevertheless, China's choosing Africa to dispatch combat troops for the first time does suggest Beijing's rising interests, enhanced commitment and direct role in maintaining peace and security of Africa.
In another unprecedented but more surprising move, China under Xi engaged in open intervention in the South Sudan conflict through direct mediation. In 2013, China's special envoy for African affairs, Ambassador Zhong Jianhua, paid more than 10 visits to Africa to coordinate positions and mediate the South Sudan issue. Then, in January 2014, in a rare overt political intervention, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi publicly called for an immediate end of hostilities in South Sudan. At Ethiopia's invitation, Wang Yi traveled to Addis Ababa to meet with rebel and government delegations. He openly urged "immediate cessation of hostilities and violence," and publicly called for the international powers to back the Ethiopian-led mediation efforts. Given China's considerable oil stake in the unstable South Sudan (China imported nearly 14 million barrels of oil from South Sudan in the first 10 months of 2013, twice that from Nigeria), many believe that China is gradually abandoning its long-term "non-interference" principle to protect its overseas economic interests.

Teach-In: Slave Labor, Free Labor & Working People Today
Slave Labor, Free Labor & Working People Today
With Carol Lang, CUNY Lecturer
This year is the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln. This set the stage to allow Black workers to join the Union military in the fight against slave labor and the Confederacy. The battle of Milliken's Bend on June 4th 1863 was the first victory of recently freed Black slaves who joined the Union army and at great cost, held the line against the Confederate troops trying to keep Vicksburg in the hands of Confederate forces.
Today, 150 years later, slave labor is growing in the US and around the world. This presentation will discuss the links with the fight against slave labor 150 years ago and the meaning for today for workers in the US and around the world.

It's a recent development from the last few days.Originally Posted by El Chuxter
From the author's website:
The fate of this project--whether it will move at last from the nebulousness of pre-pre-production into really-truly pre-production, with a budget and cast and everything, will be decided on or around 12 July 2006. Miss Natalie Portman is a strong likelihood for the part of Rosa; other casting is ongoing, as are work on the script (a lot of cutting) and tests conducted by a number of top-drawer animation studios (for the comic book elements). Quick answers (as of this date): Golem: yes. Antarctica: yes. Gay love story: yes. Ruins of World's Fair: no. Long Island: no. Orson Welles: no. Salvador Dali: yes. Loving reference to Betty and Veronica: no. Stan Lee: no.

Watched several movies over the holiday weekend:
The Number 23 - I really wasn't sure what to expect before going into this movie... but it turned out to be okay. The story was unique enough and kept me interested. I loved the cinematography used when they switched to the Novel/Fingerling story; it was pretty cool. Jim Carrey did a pretty good job as did Virginia Madsen. The 23 coincidences seemed to get a little repetitive and out of hand at times, but that was to be expected. I rather enjoyed the ending which made me appreciate the movie more than I would have, had the ending been different. But yeah, this movie was okay/good and worthy of a look I suppose.
The Shawshank Redemption (in HD) - Outstanding film, one of my favorites and easily one of the best movies of all time in my opinion. There is nothing I can say that hasn't been said already with regards to the greatness of this film.
The Ex - Starring Zach Braff, Amanda Peet and Jason Bateman. Typical comedy, nothing new here. I was expecting this one to be better/funnier than it was, though it still had its moments. Jason Bateman is awesome and if you are a fan of his then you should probably check out the movie, but don't be surprised if you are somewhat disappointed overall. But yea, this movie wasn't completely terrible, and it certainly wasn't great, but somewhere in between (closer to the terrible side though).
Go (in HD) - Only had seen this movie once before (that I can remember), which was many years ago. I completely forgot how good this movie was, or I didn't appreciate it when I first watched it. Anyways, this is a really good movie. The three story lines (which interweave) are really good; Simon's being my favorite, Ronna's coming in second and Adam and Zach's pulling up the rear (no pun intended). Lots of craziness and goodness throughout, from beginning to the very end. Oh yeah, gotta give props to Timothy Olyphant... ya gotta love this guy.
Saving Private Ryan - Another outstanding movie. Easily one of my favorite Military/War/Action movies, if not my favorite. Like Shawshank, not much can be said about the greatness of this movie that hasn't been said before. Outstanding... extremely powerful...

This is a fabulous side dish. Even the pickiest eaters loved it and all have requested I serve this again.
Pomegranate seeds add color and crunch. My family liked it with Thanksgiving turkey as an alternative squash dish. I didn't use quite as much butter, but otherwise pretty much followed the recipe, being careful not to overcook the squash in either the roasting or sauteing steps. Be gentle combining the ingredients at the end so as not to create a mushed effect, and do not overcook this last step. Add fresh, coarsely chopped parsley as well as the pomegranate seeds just before serving.
I love how people change the recipe and then review it negatively. Anyway, I made this as written and it was really good. I did make it a 2nd time and I boiled the rice in broth, deglazed the onions (leeks) with calvados, added fresh herbs (sage & thyme) and reduced the butter and it was FANTASTIC. I think adding roasted garlic would also be a great addition. This recipe is a good method that you can make your own.
Pretty awful. I am not quite sure what all the rave is about.
This was very good, but I found the corn made it a little too sweet for my taste. Next time I will use only 1/2 cup of corn. Like other reviewers, I cut way back on the butter. Also, the rice was perfectly done after boiling, but it firmed up while resting on the cookie sheet. Be sure to test it again before serving. It may need a little extra water and cooking time.
This dish is one of my faves. It makes a TON of food, is easy and always is a huge hit. I add vegetarian sausage (Tofurky Sun Dried Tomato flavor) to it and it really makes it a hearty and delicious meal. The veggies and the carnivores both love it. I also have cut down the butter some and use the black wild rice and I get the precut squash which helps out on time.
This was good and had nice (although delicate) flavor. Added farro, kale and poivron rouge (I thought about adding piment d'Espelette which would have worked well too - some sort of red pepper makes sense). Used delicata squash which worked fine. Cooked the leeks in butter then added wine instead of water. Fresh thyme would be good. Used jasmine rice but it certainly would be good to try the wild rice.
Made the recipe exactly as directed and it was perfect. I will make this again but with a bit less oil and butter. Aside from that, an absolutely delicious dish.
Great recipe that's a meal if you add a protein. I added andouille sausage and spicy was a great addition. Used 1/2 c. white wine instead of water and didn't add the extra 2 tbs of butter. Did the rice and squash the day before and used frozen corn and leeks. Would be a great Thanksgiving side dish. Try it once and you'll make it again.
This is my first time writing a review of anything. This dish is FANTASTIC! I followed the recipe exactly except used fresh corn. Cut the kernels off of the cob and stir fried them in olive oil with salt and pepper. Added the fried when adding the rice and squash to the leeks. Planning a dinner party in a few weeks and this is definitely going on the menu!

Binghamton University presentation to highlight Puccini's first opera
A presentation focusing on Puccini's first operatic work, "Le Villi," will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, October 19, in room 170 of the Fine Arts building on the Binghamton University campus. The event is free and open to the public.
Titled "The Willies, Puccini Style," the presentation will feature an historical recording of "Le Villi," from the University's Frances R. Conole Archives, which is devoted to the preservation of vocal art recorded over the last 90 years.
Puccini wrote this opera in 1882 while still a student to participate in a competition. Although he failed to win, this opera attract the attention of Giulio Ricordi, a 19th-century publisher-patron, who not only published the score, but also arranged the première at Teatro dal Verme in Milán.
Based on a Rhine legend, the opera tells the story of Roberto and Anna who are engaged to be married. But before the wedding, Roberto goes to the city to collect his inheritance. Enchanted by a siren, Roberto forgets Anna, who dies after waiting months for his return. Anna becomes a villi—a ghostly fairy who has suffered from heartbreak— and with the villis, she has her revenge on Roberto.
