In the handsome neo-Classical law courts building in downtown Nairobi, the trial of Tom Cholmondeley in the killing of Robert Njoya proceeded by fits and starts. Justice Muga Apondi was hearing the case without a jury, during a week of testimony in September, another week at the end of October and another in early December. No one seemed to be in any hurry, least of all the defense, perhaps in part because public outrage about the case seemed to fade with each passing month. Cholmondeley, the future sixth Baron Delamere, sat on a wooden bench at one side of the courtroom throughout, tight-lipped and expressionless. He was tall and lean, with thinning blond hair and blue eyes, cast down, behind rimless glasses. He wore a beige suit, with a paisley tie, a red handkerchief in the breast pocket and a pair of handcuffs.
His friends, both black and white, described Cholmondeley as an ardent conservationist. He helped found the Nakuru Wildlife Conservancy, to help protect Lake Nakuru National Park just north of Soysambu. He also went out of his way to enlist a black neighbor among the founding members. He worked closely with the park on poaching problems, and Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) appointed him an honorary game warden. Though Soysambu was a working cattle ranch, Cholmondely also maintained a huge area around Lake Elmenteita as a wildlife sanctuary. Like the rest of Soysambu, it was dusty, infertile soil and littered with volcanic rock. But it harbored about 10,000 head of antelope, zebras, buffalo and other species. The lake itself would also normally have served as a feeding area for dense flocks of lesser flamingos—except that, like other Rift Valley lakes, Elmenteita had lately dried away almost to nothing.
Cholmondeley's defenders said that he maintained good relations with the local community. The family built schools and medical clinics on the ranch and donated land for a secondary school in a nearby village. Unlike some other white farmers, Cholmondeley also hired black Kenyans as managers of Soysambu and other family businesses, and he spoke to them in fluent Swahili.
But questions of temper and judgment repeatedly surfaced, too, sometimes in connection with firearms. A neighbor recalled the time that Cholmondeley fired a handgun at the dartboard at a local drinking club, possibly an act of homage to his great-grandfather, who once rode a horse into Nairobi's Norfolk Hotel and shot out the whiskey bottles behind the bar. An acquaintance recalled an angry outburst over a mechanical difficulty on a trip in Cholmondeley's Cessna: "He's the only pilot I've ever seen shouting at his plane before takeoff. I talked to the other passengers after, and they said, "There's something wrong with that guy."
Cholmondeley's temper seemed to show itself particularly when it came to the wildlife on Soysambu. Under Kenyan law, all wildlife belongs to the state, not the landowner, and hunting of any kind has been illegal since 1977. But until recently, KWS allowed landowners to "crop" and sell, usually for meat or hide, a quota of excess animals each year. The first time I heard about cropping I thought it was a dull land management issue, miles apart from questions of murder. But it turned out to be the reason Tom Cholmondeley got into trouble with the law in the first place.
The legal trade in zebra and other species could at times be more profitable than cattle ranching, and landowners saw it as fair compensation for the cost of having wildlife on their land. That cost could be considerable. For example, one environmentalist was deeply vexed with zebras: "They're greedy--you never see a thin zebra--and they're excitable. They race around tearing up the ground and no fence can stop them." The landowners didn't want to get rid of the animals. They just wanted to harvest a percentage of them when the population got too big for their property, and they could argue passionately about what that percentage should be. A Cholmondeley neighbor, Christopher Campbell-Clause, said he once saw Cholmondeley get into a "standup confrontation" with a local game warden about increasing Soysambu's quota: "Tom got so incensed that he finally threw the contents of his briefcase on the floor, stomped on his pens and stormed out.
But the cropping program also elicited passionate feelings among critics. "It sends the wrong message," said Clause. "Probably a white man, and certainly a rich man, can take advantage of the< wildlife, whereas the poor man across the border is convicted of poaching if he takes a dik-dik to feed his family." Critics also alleged that some landowners were abusing the privilege. So KWS ended the cropping program in 2003. At that point, the only people< who could profit by taking wildlife were the poachers.
And that may have caused Cholmondeley himself to become a poacher, albeit on his own land. "Tom Cholmondeley was so arrogant," said Clause, "that he carried on cropping even after KWS banned it." KWS got wind of this allegation, according to the police, and on the afternoon of April 19, 2005, a team of undercover KWS agents went to the slaughterhouse at Soysambu to see if they could make a purchase. They found a buffalo carcass being butchered, and they arrested the slaughterhouse crew. Somehow, word got to Cholmondeley that robbers, not KWS agents, were holding his workers at gunpoint--only a week after actual robbers had killed a flower farm manager in Naivasha.
"And that's when Tom went wild," said Simon Kiragu, superintendent of police in Naivasha. "He came running like a wounded buffalo. He didn't just come, he came firing," with a pistol in hand. Outside the slaughterhouse, he saw a stranger, a Masai named Samson Ole Sesina, with a handgun, beside an unmarked car. Sesina apparently fired, too, then ran, leaping over a fence into a corral. Cholmondeley fired again. A bullet hit Sesina in the back of the neck and came out his mouth, killing him instantly. "I remember there was blood, blood, blood," said Kiragu.
It quickly turned out that Sesina had been a KWS employee, a driver for the undercover team. After his arrest, Cholmondeley apologized: "I am most bitterly remorseful at the enormity of my mistake." The government opted not to prosecute because of the confused circumstances of the killing. Later, following Kenyan tradition, Cholmondeley made a settlement with Sesina's family, reportedly paying the equivalent of 49 head of cattle--livestock being the traditional Masai measure of wealth.

Everett Swan Sunderland, 96, graduated alongside Classical High School's Class of 2012 on June 5, 80 years after he left the same school six months shy of receiving his diploma, to enlist in the Navy as a radio operator.
Sunderland has lived in East Greenwich since 1972.
In the Navy, he rose to the rank of Chief Warrant Officer and sailed across the sea and spent seven years in North Africa, Central America and the Pacific.
During 35 years of professional experience under the call sign W1LX, Sunderland has contributed to the arc of wireless technology. He is a true wireless pioneer and thought to be one of the oldest living amateur radio operators. Until only a few years ago, he was still building his own radio equipment.
Sunderland worked in signals intelligence for the Navy during WWII, listening to Japanese and German communications. He reported directly to Washington during the war. After returning from his overseas assignments, he worked as the chief engineer of the Federal Communications Commission at its Boston office. Over the course of his career, he enjoyed much satisfaction in a job that he loved.
When he was stationed in Vermont, he met his wife, the late Marcia Galgas, a registered nurse. Together, they moved to Rhode Island. Sunderland grew up in Providence, where his grandfather started a successful business, the Sunderland Bakery, on Broad Street, one block from Classical High School.
Graduation became possible after his daughter-in-law, Mimi Morimura-Sunderland, who teaches at Classical, asked Principal Scott Barr about it.
"Everett has always wanted to get a high school diploma," said Morimura-Sunderland. "I guess it was one of the things he felt missing in his long life. His grandchildren remember him sitting on a couch with the SAT prep books, when his eyes were working better. He was always studious and enjoyed accomplishments."
Sunderland has with four children and six grandchildren.

We are all deeply saddened by the horrific events that took place at an elementary school in Connecticut this morning. It is difficult to grasp. Such a tragedy reverberates deeply with parents and educators, and the Moreland community mourns for everyone in Newtown, Connecticut.
I want to assure all of our families that we have safety and security procedures in place to protect our students and staff. We work closely with our local law enforcement officials around matters of safety for everyone in our community, and they have always been very responsive to our needs.
This is a good time for parents to discuss with their children the importance of speaking to a trusted adult concerning matters they hear about in the media and online. During this time, we have counselors available to assist with students, staff and parents in dealing with this tragedy.
We all share in the grief over crimes of this nature, and we work together to make sure that we are prepared to deal with matters of campus safety, security and student needs.

OKCupid Fails: Denied/Rejected/Try Again Next Time
March 8, 2012 § 15 Comments
With the news that I was "Freshly Pressed" today because of my online dating article, I thought now would be a good time to go over some more fails. Why? BECAUSE IM A BLOGGER MASOCHIST, DUH!
I don't know how many OkCupid dates I've been on now, but it's easy to see that as a single person that currently has 0 girls that he can text tonight to see what they are doing and if they'd like to see a movie (how do you make a frowny face inside of parentheses? **FROWNY FACE**) I clearly have had no success in the online dating world.
Now, there's a difference between saying "I have had no success" and "It's been worthless" because it has been anything but worthless. All of the dating fails I've accumulated over the last two years (Sadness Achievement Unlocked) have given me great perspective on dating in Los Angeles and dating in general. If you don't know me by now, then let me tell you a little bit about myself, because I don't want you to never ever ever know me.
Oooooh, oooh, ooh, ooooh.
I grew up as a fat kid with zero confidence, but I was the class clown and that's what got me through middle school, high school, and college. I even remember my first crush, Kelly Sullypants (made up name to protect the innocent), from fourth grade. I've been a romantic since I was just a young boy, watching The Wonder Years and The Sandlot and thinking "Come on versions of me, GET THE GIRL!" But I couldn't get over how I viewed myself, so I went a long time without dating.
After college, I lost 150 pounds and gained a whole new self-appreciation, self-worth, and what's this here? Self-esteem?!?! Wow, go me!
I then immediately entered a two year relationship before ending it and moving to California. That was three years ago and though I am 29-years-old, I have only really been on the dating scene in that amount of time. I think that experience counts in everything, and that you'll never get good at anything overnight. Including dating. There are things you have to know and hardships you have to go through.
Holy shit, I've been through some hardships! But that's okay, because I'm more ready to keep this dating this going now than I ever have before. Here are one more of those hardships, and what I suppose I'll learn from it.
"What? No Good?"
In the beginning of the 2012, I was ready to step away from OkCupid for awhile. Nothing from there had been going well, so I'd let God decide what would happen next. (Just like George Costanza, I only believe in God for the bad things.) What he or she decided was that three different girls, all attractive and interesting, would message me that week.
What the fuck?
Why now? And why all together?!? God and OkCupid were trolling me, of course.
I went out with all three and they each had varying degrees of success. There was the doctor, that I felt was doomed from the start because I am… well, I'm not a fucking surgeon like she was, I can tell you that much. I mean, she was a HOT DOCTOR! I wasn't prepared for that, however I did feel quite proud that she ended up being interested in me for a few dates. (I learned from this experience that you shouldn't underestimate yourself in any relationship.)
Then there was the comic book nerd. A very cute girl with pink hair, attitude, writing skills, and worked in a comic book shop. Seriously? A cute nerd that actually IS a nerd? Not like all of those girls out there that say "I'm such a nerd! Let's watch Vampire Diaries!" But a real, honest-to-God, I know everything about The X-Men and Magic: The Gathering NERD that wasn't bad to look at.
She lasted two dates, with our second encounter ending in a makeout session that seemed to point to "all signs are a go!" except that I never heard from her again. (Note to self: Work on being better at making out, I guess.)
The third girl was a no-nonsense New Yorkah that also had a very interesting job, as a casting director. Her only concern with me was that I wasn't an actor (check) and that I didn't have a problem with the fact that she was 35. Ummm.. double-check. I really don't have much of an "age barrier" although I know where to draw the line. I have found that most of the girls that I have ever dated and had a real connection with were older than me. Which is weird since I blog about some really immature shit and I still like to watch shows in the tween demographic. But on the bright side, I'm a writer and I've got a passion for it… having a determination, a passion, and drive will be a lot more attractive to a girl than just trying to make it to the end of the week.
I'm bleeding sweat and sweating blood, writing over 20 times per week on various sites, slowly building up a paycheck, and that shows in my conversations with people when I talk about writing. So older women seem to appreciate that more than younger ones.
I go out with New York and we have a fine time, but there's nothing serious. No real connection, just a fun time laughing and watching bad karaoke. Okay, no harm. I always like to have a good time, even if it doesn't lead to anything more.
A couple of weeks later we end up texting and decide to go out again. Sure, what the hell. She tells me that she can beat me in Scene It? which is absolutely preposterous because I dominate movie trivia. Dah-Mee-N8! We go out for a drink and some food near her place, and all signs point to "This is a date! This is a date!" and all the signals are there. They are! Trust me!
We go back to her place to play Scene It! and beyond all odds, she beats me. You know what, I was distracted. I'm playing the game, but at the same time I'm thinking about this couch that we are sharing and that are legs are touching while her dog is staring me in the face and getting drool on my lap. I'm thinking "Okay, we've had a little bit to drink, she still invited me back to her place, flirting the whole time and now we're here. When do I go in?"
After she beats me, we sit for a bit more and I decide "Fuck it, I'm going for it" and move in for the kill. This is actually a big deal for me…
You see, like I said before, my life experiences up to this point had left me mostly shy for my 29 years. I have no problem getting up in front of people (see my win at Karaoke for an iPad!) and I've been a class clown since before they were called class clowns, but with girls I tend to freeze up. Or at least, I USED to. The experiences that I've had in Los Angeles have finally allowed me to get over it and to realize I was being stupid. I severely regret not making move over making a move at the wrong time. Except that I had never made a move at the wrong time before this….
I go in for the kiss and she pulls back. "What? No good?" I say.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to give you the wrong impression."
You'd think that by now you would know when you were giving signals and when you were not. I've never in my life been invited into a girls home on a date and found that she had no interest at all in being anything more than friends. She tells me that she's too old for me and I can't help but ask why she went out with me in the first place. I mean, WE MET ONLINE. ALL MY INFO IS THERE. Seriously? Too old?
"You're a young 29."
Ouch. Just hand me back my heart and I'll be leaving. I can honestly say that I couldn't even watch two people kiss on TV for a week. It made me cringe. Every thought of that moment when she pulled back made me nearly induce vomiting. It was just… the worst.
For a guy to come as far as I had in getting over my inhibitions on making the first move, it was like 30 steps backwards. Except that I got over it. It really didn't take that long to get over it and when I did I came to the realization that I should be even less worried about making a move. Despite the fact that far fewer guys have experienced this phenomenon than I thought (none of my friends, apparently) and that I was embarrassed as shit, I learned a thing or two from it.
One of which being that I'm not always going to read a situation correctly. Perhaps I had been reading her wrong the entire night. It's like watching a movie from two perspectives and realizing that not everything is what it seems. If she never intended it to be a date, then the rejection was no surprise at all. She also thought that I thought that it was not a date, and wasn't worried about inviting me over to her place, etc. Even though… I'm not looking for girl friends on OkCupid, I'm looking for a girlfriend. Singular. One word.
Not one of my highlights on the dating scene but one that I won't forget. And one that will teach me a lesson. Perhaps she just denied me on the kiss because I couldn't beat her in Scene It! in which case, I TOTALLY understand that.

World's greatest mime Marcel Marceau revisits HK in October
Marcel Marceau is undoubtedly the greatest mime of our times. With his exquisitely detailed, smooth and layered performances, he easily captures the hearts of audiences all over the globe and remains a truly universal marvel. At the age of 80 he is as sprightly, energetic and charming as ever.
The legendary mime now returns to Hong Kong for two not-to-be missed performances, his first here in four years. Take the opportunity to see a brilliant artist at work at 8pm, October 21 and 22 (Tuesday and Wednesday) at the Concert Hall of the Hong Kong City Hall.
Marceau's engrossing two-hour show is divided into two parts -- "Pantomimes of Style", consisting of concise little stories that display his superb mime technique, and "Pantomimes of Bip", which explores the misadventures of Bip.
Born in Strasbourg, France, Marcel Marceau enrolled in Charles Dullin's School of Dramatic Art in the Sarah Bernhardt Theater in Paris in 1944, where he studied with the mime master Etienne Decroux. In 1947, he created "Bip", who has become his alter-ego, like Chaplin's "Little Tramp". In 1948, Marceau received the renowned Deburau Prize. The following year, he formed his Compagnie de Mime Marcel Marceau - the only company of pantomime in the world at that time. The ensemble played the leading theatres in Paris, as well as other playhouses throughout the world. He has toured the world extensively over the past five decades and has been enchanting audiences around the world for years, including several trips to Hong Kong.
Marceau's art has become familiar to millions worldwide through his many television appearances. He received two Emmy Awards for his television shows. He has demonstrated his versatility in motion pictures. Numerous honours have been bestowed upon Marceau, including the highest accolades conferred by the French Government: Officier de la Legion d'Honneur, Commandeur des Arts et Lettres, and Grand Officier de l'Ordre National du Merite. He served as Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Second World Assembly on Ageing in April 2002.
The show is presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. Tickets priced at $300, $250, $200 and $100 are now available at all URBTIX outlets. Half-price concessions will be granted to senior citizens, people with disabilities, full-time students and Comprehensive Social Security Assistance recipients. A 10% discount is also available for Friends of Leisure and Cultural Services performing venues. There will also be group booking concessions: 10% discount for every purchase of four to nine tickets, 15% for 10 to 19 tickets and 20% for 20 tickets or more.
For programme enquiries, call 2268 7323 or visit www.lcsd.gov.hk/cp. Ticketing enquiries and reservations can be made on 2734 9009 and credit card telephone bookings on 2111 5999. Tickets can also be booked through the website, www.urbtix.gov.hk.

The Great Debate (India)
Who will win the World Cup?
Favourites Brazil were sensationally dumped out of the World Cup by the Netherlands in the biggest shock of the tournament.
While British bookmaker Ladbrokes have Spain as the favourite, the Dutch, who have never won soccer's biggest tournament despite their long-admired style, will now fancy their chances of taking home the 2010 trophy.
Who do you think will win the World Cup?
Your favourite A.R.Rahman song?
"Slumdog Millionaire" composer A.R. Rahman won two Grammy awards on Sunday for the film's soundtrack and theme song "Jai Ho", adding to the Oscars he won last year.
But which is your favourite Rahman composition?
Is it 'Jai Ho', the memorable 'Masakali' from "Delhi 6″ or the haunting numbers from "Swades", "Guru", "Roja", "Dil Se" or any of his other award-winning films?

Ah, I can't process the tabs. I only moderate the forum, check to see if tabs abide by the rules, and standards. Nomad is on holiday I *think*, he is the only one that has the power to process them. Sorry about the wait. Your Abramelin tab is quite good, like all your other tabs. =)
Sorry about not wishing you happy b'day, didn't see your thread. So, happy belated birthday! Atleast you're one step closer to becoming 18. I'll be living in Melbourne at that stage, remind me to shout you a shitload of beers then.

Darwin principle
After reading the Jan. 20 article "3 wounded in gun show accident," it occurred to me that perhaps all we need to do to ensure that guns don't end up in the hands of the wrong people is to administer an IQ test. If that doesn't work, no worries; the gene pool will clean itself out in time.

Natural Gas Could Boost U.S. Exports Without Wasting Tax Dollars
America must move forward with proper, responsible private sector development of natural gas resources
Pete Sepp is executive vice president of the National Taxpayers Union.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is rallying the support of Democrats (and some Republicans) in the upper house to increase the taxpayer-backed loan limit of the U.S. Export-Import Bank. The program, which according to its mission statement undertakes "credit and country risks that the private sector is unable or unwilling to accept," can leverage $100 billion in lending authority and has made some strange bets. Among these are failed businesses from the energy sector, including Solyndra and Enron.
After these and other revelations, including this week's news that more than $450 million in Export-Import financing underwrote a solar panel company's sale of products to one of its own Canadian subsidiaries, perhaps Congress might want to just let the bank's authority expire in May and relieve U.S. taxpayers of additional future risks. After all, as my National Taxpayers Union colleague Nan Swift has pointed out here and here, Export-Import's possible liabilities to taxpayers are high while its contributions to exports are low. Yet, Reid and company instead seek a boost in the loan limit to as high as $140 billion. Equally troubling, other opportunities to boost exports without putting tax dollars on the line are being stymied.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the economy.]
As Bloomberg columnist Caroline Baum noted last week, the U.S. shale gas boom has been likened to the crumbling of the Berlin Wall by PFC Energy CEO Robin West for its massive future-changing potential. Energy economist Phil Verleger recently told National Public Radio that he predicts America will no longer need to import crude oil within 10 years, and will become a net exporter of natural gas. If realized, this would have a major impact on not only U.S. energy policy, but on our entire economic (and by extension foreign) policy as well. Still, right now that's a big "if".
So far the lion's share of the natural gas boom has occurred on privately owned lands, as the Obama administration continues an on-again, off-again approach to the permitting process. On balance, the increase in domestic production has occurred more in spite of White House policies than because of them.
America must move forward with proper, responsible private sector development of natural gas resources. Doing so would lead to far greater U.S. competitiveness abroad than anything the bureaucratically run Export-Import Bank could achieve by taking billions more in taxpayer resources.

University of Cambridge researchers studied the effects of hiding children's eyes on their feelings of invisibility, and discovered some very interesting things about how young kids view their "self" versus their "body", which you should check out.
"… it would seem that children apply the principle of joint attention to the self and assume that for somebody to be perceived, experience must be shared and mutually known to be shared, as it is when two pairs of eyes meet."
Apparently kids only exist when you make eye contact with them. Remember that when you don't want them to feel invisible.

Tribune's David Haugh on Starlin Castro
This is a pretty standard days-before-fist-spring-training-game column with the fun quips on crazy uncle Lou. Where it gets interesting is when Haugh refers to Castro as "a light-hitting, slick-fielding rookie". Now Haugh is a baseball writer. But it is interesting to see the light-hitting label being applied to Castro when I've seen others tout Castro as the next Miguel Tejada.

Philippine Banana Supply
and Utilization
The Philippines exported a total
of 1.6 million metric tons banana in all forms in 2002, which
it grew out 106 % higher than exports in 1978 of only around
0.8 million metric tons. Import of banana rarely occurs, only
in 1996 and 1998 that Philippines imported banana at around 6.35
and 37.48 metric tons respectively. Gross supply is around 5.3
million metric tons in 2002, which is 4% higher than gross supply
in 2001, which is 5.0 million metric tons. Banana utilized as
feeds and wastes in 2002 has a total of 214,769 metric tons,
which is 3.5% higher than utilization for feeds and wastes in
2001. Processed banana totals to 894,870 metric tons in 2002,
3.5% higher than processed banana in 2001, which is 864,663 metric
tons. Net food disposed in 2002 is almost 2.5 million metric
tons. The country's per capita consumption for banana is about
31/kg/person/yr and 85.11 grams per day (Table 9).
Price Trend
Technical Support
In 1993, local demand for the
fruit used up 62% of the total production. The remaining 38%
was exported fresh.
The 62% that was consumed locally was ether fresh or processed.
A volume of the locally processed bananas, however, was exported
in 1993. Due to lack of data, the exact volume of those that
were exported cannot be segregated from those that were consumed
Based on the per capita consumption in 1993, demand for banana
is expected to reach 4,069 thousand metric tons (mt) in 2000.
supply shortfall is seen to widen by an average of 6% annually
from 1989 to 2000 (Table 10).
World Trade
Total banana exports in 1998
were 13.5 million metric tons valued at US$4.9 billion. The Latin
American countries of Ecuador, Costa Rica and Columbia were the
world's top three exporters of banana with a combined total export
volume of 7.2 million metric tons valued at US$2 billion or a
share of 43% of the world's banana export volume.
The Philippines, is the only
Asian country included in the world's top exporters of banana,
ranking 5th with 1.1 million metric tons of export valued at
US$217 million or a share of 7%. The European Union, although
not producing banana but engaged in the re-export of banana among
its country members, was included in the world's major exporters
of banana contributing 1.6 million metric tons valued at US$1.4
billion or a share of 10% 0f the world's total exports.
The world's total imports of
banana in 1998 were 13.1 million metric tons valued at US$6.5
billion. The top importing countries were the 15 member countries
of the European Union, USA, the Asian countries of Japan and
China, the Russian Federation and Canada.
The EU was the top importer
of banana with combined volume of 4.5 million metric tons or
a share or 34%. The US followed with 3.9 million metric tons
contributing 30% of the total imports. Japan had a share of 7%.
Philippines Banana Performance
in the International market
Philippine Banana Exports are
mostly sold in the Asia (Japan, Korea, and Hongkong), EU and
US markets. The Philippines ranked 1st in the fresh banana imports
of Japan during the period 1993-1997 contributing 74% of the
total Japan importation. In terms of banana dried, it rank 4th
with a share of 1%. Ecuador dominates Japan market for banana
dried with 90% share. On the other hand, the Philippines is the
top exporter of banana fresh/dried in Korea and Hongkong with
87% and 67% share respectively. In the US and European market,
the Philippines lagged behind other major exporters of banana
in the world. In the US market, Philippines ranked 32nd in the
top banana fresh/dried supplier with less than 1% share. Top
suppliers of banana to US are the Latin American countries like
Costa Rica with 25% share, Ecuador with 23% share and Columbia
with 15% share. Likewise in United Kingdom, Philippines share
of banana fresh/dried exports is less than 1% ranking 31st. The
top exporters of banana to UK are France and St. Lucia both with
14% share. In Germany, Philippines share of banana fresh/dried
exports is also less than one ranking 23rd in the list. The top
exporters of banana to Germany are Belgium and Ecuador both with
19% share of the total Germany banana imports.

Technology reporter Stanley A. Miller II tracks news and trends, from the coolest new gadgets to the latest stuff on the Web
XOOM tablet Thursday from Verizon
The Motorola XOOM, a high-speed tablet running the Honeycomb version of Google's Android OS, will be available Thursday from Verizon Wireless, the carrier announced today. The XOOM will cost $599.99 with a new two-year contract or $799.99 without, and wireless 3G data service for the device will start at $20 a month for 1GB.
The XOOM can upgrade (link's not live yet) to the carrier's 4G LTE service at no extra charge in the second quarter of this year, Verizon says, and that's good news for Milwaukee, which is among the first markets getting the next-gen wireless service.
The XOOM looks to have some solid specs, including a 1GHz dual-core processor -- which the Honeycomb version of Android takes advantage of -- and 10.1-inch widescreen high-definition display. The tablet has a front-facing 2-megapixel camera for video chats and a rear-facing 5-megapixel camera that can record video in 720p HD. The XOOM also supports tabbed Web browsing, Adobe's Flash Player, which will be available "soon" as a free download, Verizon says.

Maggie Wheeler shuns David Duchovny's advances in New Year's Day (Henry Jaglom, 1989).
The Explanation
(for those who require one)
And, of course, that is what all of this is -- all of this: the one song, ever changing, ever reincarnated, that speaks somehow from and to and for that which is ineffable within us and without us, that is both prayer and deliverance, folly and wisdom, that inspires us to dance or smile or simply to go on, senselessly, incomprehensibly, beatifically, in the face of mortality and the truth that our lives are more ill-writ, ill-rhymed and fleeting than any song, except perhaps those songs -- that song, endlesly reincarnated -- born of that truth, be it the moon and June of that truth, or the wordless blue moan, or the rotgut or the elegant poetry of it. That nameless black-hulled ship of Ulysses, that long black train, that Terraplane, that mystery train, that Rocket '88', that Buick 6 -- same journey, same miracle, same end and endlessness."

This weekend I attended my first hypnotherapy class! It was fascinating, to say the least. At the mention of hypnosis, most people immediately think of television and old movies: the mysterious hypnotist using a pendulum to bend the subject to his will. The reality could not be further from the truth. Hypnotism is simply a way for a conscious subject to access the powers of their subconscious mind.
The conscious mind is where we learn and the subconscious takes these lessons and transforms them into habit. For example, think of driving a car. When you first learned, you memorized every step, thought about every single move you made, and obsessed over every detail. Bit by bit, you became more comfortable with these actions. At some point, you stopped thinking about checking your mirrors, or shifting into gear, or braking. When the light turns green, you aren't telling yourself that green means go, so it is time to move your foot from the brake to the gas. You see the green light, your foot moves onto the gas, and you just go. Driving is no longer a conscious effort. It has now shifted into the subconscious. Just think for a minute about how much we engage our subconscious every single day. Every time you do something that isn't new, it is coming from that part of the mind. We tend to think of "habits" as a term that covers negative behavior, like smoking or stress-eating. In reality, though, almost everything we do everyday is a habit. Getting out of bed is a habi. It is something we do every day, without thinking about it. Eating, driving, walking, even sitting-all of these are habits. When we walk, we don't need to think, "Now put one foot in front of the other." It just happens.
The power of the subconscious mind is what we need to harvest when we want to change anything about ourselves on a permanent basis. The problem is you can't reason with the subconscious. Reasoning comes from the conscious part of our mind. And that is where the difficulty lies. You can verbally tell yourself, "I need to do x y and z to get healthy," but unless that info is somehow translated in a way that the subconscious understands, it will not become ingrained as a habit. And this is where hypnotherapy comes in!
Here is the first step to self-hypnosis: start thinking in the present tense. The subconscious mind doesn't understand future or past; it is engaged in the here and now. Telling yourself that you will eventually quit smoking is less effective than telling yourself that you are a non-smoker even if that is not the case yet. Semantics mean everything here.

3. Grid Generation
3.1. 2D Grid Generation
Compiling the Codes
[NOTE: The 2D grid generation tools are not normally distributed with the FUN3D suite of source code. If you wish to obtain a copy, let us know.]
If you requested the 2D grid generation tools, you should have received a tar file from Langley containing scripts that wrap the AFLR2 grid generator itself, which you will have to obtain from the SimCenter at Mississippi State. We use these scripts to automate the grid generation process from xy-coordinates all the way to an output grid format that is compatible with FUN3D's preprocessor.
The first thing you will need to do is untar the AFLR2 package. Follow the directions within the distribution to install the basic grid generator on your machine. You may need to coordinate with your system administrator to get the files all into the appropriate directories on your system. Once complete, be sure the executables in the AFLR2 suite are available in your path.
Then untar the file containing the scripts you received from the FUN3D team. Edit the script CompileCodes and replace the compiler name and flags with whatever is relevant for your system. You may also need to change the path to your X11 libraries. Once done, execute this file to compile several small utility codes that the mesh generation script will call under the hood:
- minspac
- splineviewS
- splinetomarcumS
- coarsenS
- afltofunS
- aflfgridtofun
- maxmeshS
- realincS
minspac is a stand-alone code that can be used to estimate the minimum wall spacing parameter for viscous grids. Just enter minspac and the code will ask you for a Reynolds number then supply estimates of the initial wall spacing you should request from the grid generator.
splineviewS is another stand-alone code that you will execute as described below. It is used to spline an input geometry.
The remainder of the codes you compiled above are called internally by the meshmaker script you received in the tar file. You will not need to execute them explicitly yourself.
Constructing a Grid
Splining Your Geometry
You will need your geometry description in x-y format. Edit the input file called data. This is the input for splineviewS, which will fit a spline to your input geometry.
Follow the format given in the example data file. Complete each section of the file for each curve and segment of your geometry. Note that your geometry should generally run in a clockwise fashion, so that the computational domain is kept to the "left".
Directly below the x-y definition of each curve segment is a section of input including such parameters as number of points to be placed on the segment, etc. In general, you should only need to adjust the first two values. The first value specifies how many points you wish to be placed on the spline that is going to be fit to the current segment. This will more or less end up being the number of grid points on that segment. (The mesh generator may add a small number of points for a smoother distribution, but this is ball park what you will wind up with.) The second value in this set of data specifies the number of knot control points you would like along this segment. For each knot point you pick, you can specify a spacing parameter which will control clustering in the vicinity of the control point. Finally, the last set of lines for each data segment are the knot points you wish to use, followed by the spacing parameter for each.
When you think you have the input data file set up, execute the code splineviewS. If you set up the data file correctly, you will see your input geometry appear in red in an X-window. Click on the right mouse button, and you will see a blue curve appear. This is the spline that has been fit to your geometry, along with the point distribution you set up. Click the right mouse button once more, and the window will close, writing out the output file spline.out, which contains the spline information.
Tip: Concentrate on just getting your geometry read in correctly at first, ignoring the clustering. If there are problems with your data file, set the number of curves to 1, and get the first curve working correctly. You can even work one curve segment at a time. In this manner, you can systematically progress through your input geometry until splineviewS successfully reads the entire definition.
Tip: Once your entire geometry is being read in correctly, then go back and work on your clustering one curve or segment at a time.
Tip: Within splineviewS , you may use the left button to translate the view, and the middle button to zoom in or out in the current view.
Tip: You may want to try to generate a grid using the default information in the data file before you change the input to suit your problem, just to get the hang of it.
Generating a Grid
Edit the file spline.out, which came out of splineviewS. The first line contains the number of curves in the file. The second line states the number of segments in the first curve. The next line is the number of data points on the current segment, followed by a boundary condition flag for the segment. The values of the flag can be 0 (tangency), 1 (viscous), or 2 (farfield). These can be changed at this time if desired (they actually originate in the blocks of data in the data file for splineviewS , and can be set prior to running splineviewS if desired).
Now execute the script meshmaker. This script automates the grid generation process and hides the details from the user. The script will prompt you for the input spline file, which is spline.out. Enter 1 for the coarsen factor, and 1 for the number of mesh levels to generate. (The script is capable of generating a family of grids for multigrid, however we generally don't run multigrid.) The next input the script will ask for is a case name. Simply enter a one-word name such as "dog". All of the output files will then have the prefix "dog". If you have specified viscous boundaries in your spline input, the script will ask you for a wall spacing parameter. This is the distance from the surface to the first set of grid points in the boundary layer. A good estimate of the required spacing can be obtained from minspac , described above.
The mesh generator will then construct a grid, showing you the number of points and elements as it progresses. Upon completion, the script will ask you whether you would like to see the mesh plotted on the screen. If you answer yes, a plotting window will appear with your mesh displayed. Use the "z" key along with your mouse to zoom, "r" to reset the view, and "q" to quit when you are done. Upon exiting the graphics window, the script will complete. Your mesh is contained in the file dog.0.faces. This file can be read directly into Party using the corresponding main menu option for this format.
Tip: If meshmaker does not appear to execute correctly, you may have problems with executables in your path. To debug, simply edit the meshmaker script and put some write statements in to get a feel for what's going wrong. There isn't much to the script. Also, watch out for the command line options given to AFLR2 within the script. These have changed occasionally over the years – hopefully the options we have provided are consistent with the AFLR2 distribution you received, but we may have to work with you if you run into problems.
3.2. 3D Grid Generation
Three-dimensional grid generation is much more involved, and is left entirely up to the user. Our most common sources of 3D grids are VGRID (NASA Langley) and SolidMesh/AFLR3 (Mississippi State). We also prefer the GridEx package (NASA Langley), which serves as an interface for a variety of CAD packages and grid generators.
IMPORTANT: 3D grids should have the z-direction as "up" and the x-direction as "streamwise" If this is not the case, the specification of alpha (angle of attack) and beta (yaw) will not have the usual meanings.

This is the opening weekend for the Driftwood Players Theater Company's "Alice in Wonderland" at . First, a preview performance on Thursday, Feb. 17 at 8 p.m., then two more performances this weekend on Friday and Saturday night at 8 p.m.
"Alice in Wonderland has been tossed around as an option since the first time we walked into the Trinity Episcopal theatre two years ago," said Katherine Benson, the director of "Alice in Wonderland" and the artistic director and founder of the Driftwood Players in an e-mail interview. "The space we get to use lends itself to an off-beat production, and what is more off-beat than Wonderland?"
Knowing there are so many different versions of "Alice in Wonderland," Benson challenged herself to produce a unique version of a well-known show.
"The question was not how can we bring something new to Wonderland, but how can we bring something new to the audience experience," she wrote.
The solution found by the Driftwood Players is one that Benson calls "runway theater," which, "looks exactly how it sounds." The audience will be watching the performance as if they were watching a fashion runway, but despite the different way of presenting the story, Benson says the Driftwood Players have stuck closely to the plot of the original Lewis Carroll book.
"If you are ready to try something new, and to have a lot of fun with us, come see this show," wrote Benson. "The costumes are over the top, the set is unique, and the acting is remarkable. I love this show, I love this cast, and I know people cannot help but feel the same."
Tickets for Thursday's preview are $5 and tickets to the rest of the performances are $12. Besides the shows this weekend, the play will also run on Feb. 25 and 26 at 8 p.m. and on Feb. 27 at 3 p.m. The shows are held in the Trinity Episcopal Theater, behind the church.

|Bottom line on 2004 spending
Infrastructure keeps evolving
The second surprising area of frugality is network hardware, where the picture seems paradoxical. Despite network hardware dropping to only 9% of the overall budget, respondents continue to develop their infrastructure. But for many, the initial (costly) push into a storage area network (SAN) is past history: SAN growth was cited by 41% of survey participants as their primary reason for buying new switches.
Storage groups will deploy more fabrics; respondents cited growth from a current average of 2.3 fabrics to 2.6 by the end of 2004. Most users will go from two or three fabrics to three or four this year. The mix of large and small switches they'll use has changed, too: While small switches continue to predominate, a significant number of users are deploying switches with more than 128 ports (see "Switch sizes growing").
That probably corresponds to a shift in the way users are architecting their storage networks (see "More complex fabrics on the way"). While SAN islands are still the largest group, two-thirds of respondents now cite director-based and core/edge fabrics. Respondents aren't necessarily looking beyond switch architecture to structure their fabrics, however. Only 7% are implementing virtual SANs, and 57% have no plans or are definitely not implementing them.
If SANs are beginning to develop some structure, they're also going to become more diverse. An astonishing 38% of respondents say they will deploy iSCSI SANs in 2004 (see "Most shops will deploy IP storage"), and nearly a quarter say they will deploy FCIP.
Convergence with network-attached storage (NAS) continues as well, with 27% saying they will implement or have implemented SAN/NAS gateways, with another 35% evaluating them. While SAN/NAS gateways are gaining in popularity, they remain far less popular than direct-attached storage (DAS), NAS (particularly consolidated NAS) or even virtualized pools for storing files.
Given the low budget for network infrastructure, storage managers seem to be betting on lower prices, using older switches that they currently own as edge devices to push the SAN outward and are using IP storage to expand their storage environment.

I have no doubt that many of the EUs 28 members (the 27 current ones plus Croatia, which will join next year) will insist that Serbia be clear about where its sovereign borders lie. Germany appears to be insisting on that before the EU gives Serbia a date for negotiations to begin, he wrote on peacefare.net .
This is how Serwer answered a question as to why Serbia could join the EU without Kosovo but the Republic of Srpska (RS) could not do so without the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The RS is not sovereign and will not be. But that begs the question, why cant the RS be sovereign, he said.
He said that his colleague at the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) Michael Haltzel had offered a moral argument.
The RS, which occupies the 49 per cent of Bosnia-Herzegovina, is the product of an ethnic cleansing campaign conducted during the Bosnian war (1992-95). Few non-Serbs have been able to return. He argues that the international community will not and should not recognize as sovereign a political entity whose origin lies in war crimes and gross human rights violations. This is not what I argue, even if I agree with Mike on the merits of the case, he pointed out.
Serwer also stressed that Kosovo Albanians chased Serbs from the area south of the Ibar River and relatively few of them have returned.
Yet the U.S. and 90 or so other countries have recognized Kosovo as sovereign. There are many differences of both degree and principle between the two cases, he added.
According to the U.S. expert, RS independence would inevitably lead to a three-way division of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The Croat-dominated southern portions would also secede from Bosnia, leaving what my State Department colleagues and I during the Bosnian war called a nonviable rump Islamic state that would be a platform for Iranian terrorism, he explained.
Serwer noted that the RS claim of independence would reignite the Bosnian war, as each of the ethnic groups seeks to lay claim to territory it regards as its own.

Douglas "DJ" Haimerl earned his GED and proudly walked across the stage at the Blount County Adult Education graduation at William Blount High School in June.
The walk across the stage was easy compared to the legwork Haimerl put in prior to the ceremony. Haimerl, who was one of 55 graduates who participated in the ceremony, already had a 19-mile walk under his belt to finish his diploma.
The 22-year-old Ohio-native moved to Florida with his girlfriend, and then moved with her to her father's home in Tennessee late last year. Haimerl wanted to get his Graduate Equivalency Diploma, saying, "I was tired of dead-end jobs and getting paid minimum wage, so I started working to get my GED."
But in January, when the test was scheduled, Haimerl ended up homeless and without transportation for about week. "Things happened to where I was homeless, living on the street, and I said, 'This is not going to stop me. I'm not going to let being homeless keep me from getting my GED.' So I ended up walking 19 miles to Everett to take my test," he said. "I wasn't going to let circumstances stop me from making something out of myself."
Unfortunately, when he got to the center, he had missed the first part of the math test. He took the rest of the test that was scheduled for that day, but was unsure about what would have to happen with the part he missed.
It was Carol Ergenbright, coordinator of Blount County Adult Education at Everett Learning Center, who helped him. "I really appreciate Carol taking time to help me," Haimerl said. "I thought I was going to have to pay for my GED again, and she helped me get that rescheduled and helped me get a room for the night after I walked from Knoxville," he said. "She took time from her day and could have been home with her husband to help me. It meant a lot, especially when you don't have anybody."
Ergenbright said the young man did very well on the test, well enough to qualify for a lottery scholarship should he decide to continue his education.
"He was pretty tired, but he did very well," Ergenbright said.
Haimerl got into the Crossroads Transitional Living program for homeless young men. The new facility is situated beside the Blount County Children's Home off McCammon Avenue in Maryville.
"I had a roof over my head, and they helped me get job and get into my own place," Haimerl said.
Haimerl said he hopes to either become a sheriff's deputy or go to college and learn a trade such as plumbing, auto mechanics or as an electrician.
Haimerl said if he can get his GED, anyone can. "I've been out of school five years. It might take work but do it. It is well worth it," he said.
Ergenbright said there were 212 GED graduates during the 2009-10 school year. Fifty-five graduates participated in the spring graduation ceremony in June. Heather McClinchy was valedictorian. Blount Today photographer Leslie Karnowski was at the Blount County Adult Education graduation on June 11 at William Blount High School to capture some of excitement and pride of the graduates and their families.

power window cable repair
I hope someone can direct me to the right answer . . .
I have a black 2003 TB EXT with 72K miles. Yesterday my 4-year-old was playing with the window and somehow the cable to the motor assembly on the power window snapped. I removed the door panel and all seems to be in working order--after we were able to get it untangled.
It eats my lunch thinking of going to the dealership for repair when this looks like something i can repair myself.
However, I need a little direction. Is there a book of some sort that i can purchase with all of the little secrets I need to know?
I just replaced my battery last week for the first time, and now the window. I have this feeling I'm going to be making a few repairs here and there and would certainly like a manual with details.

Post subject: power window cable repair
Yep, had this issue as well with my 2003 TB. The regulator (what some folks call the track) needs to be replaced. My cable was busted as well, but you can't buy just the cable- as per the typical GM fashion, you gotta buy the whole thing. The real problem- there is no aftermarket part available, and the dealer wants a little over $200 bucks for the part. Luckily, when I bought my TB, I bought an extended warranty, so it cost me only $100 bucks (for the deductable).
That was pure luck....
BTW, more luck !: the extended warranty has paid for itself- since then I had a leaking seal in the stearing, and I spun a bearing in the rear axel. The spun bearing was an expensive one- the total bill was about $1600.00. Once again, it turned out that you cannot buy the part that was broken (just the bearing), you have to buy the whole rear end (and guess what- there was no 3rd party after-market parts, once again !).
I'll definately buy the extended warranty next time around. (it was through Performance, not GM)
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.... Good Luck !

Re: power window cable repair
Also, if you want to try to fix it yourself, there is a Haynes manual you can get at Advance Auto Parts that covers the repair....
Book # 24072
It's in chapter 11-13. Knowing its' a $200 part and after seeign what was involved, you reconsider doin it yourself....
Good luck
