An appreciation of journalist Susan Rasky
A fine journalist and mentor of the next generation of journalists passed away last week at the much too young age of 61. Susan Rasky taught political reporting at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism for the past 20 years after a long career of covering economic policy and politics in New York and […]

California schools — new direction or doubling down?
Few names are so sure to insure a flood of sfgate.com comments and Chronicle letters to the editor as that of education reformer Michelle Rhee. Rhee, the former schools superintendent of the Washington, D.C., schools and now the founder of StudentsFirst, an education advocacy organization, has plenty to say about why public schools need revamping.

City College of San Francisco faces its future
City College of San Francisco is just hours away from its March 15 deadline to fix its budgetary and managerial problems — and chart its future. That's the date that the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges set for the college, the largest public school in the state, to make the case of why […]

Last call for common sense on bar-closing time
So we learn in a story by Wyatt Buchanan that Sen. Mark Leno, D-S.F., has revived his plan to allow bars to stay open until 4 a.m. Our editorial board took a good look at the idea in 2004, and it made no more sense then than now. Does anyone really believe, as Leno suggests […]

Parking war: Residents vs. commuters in the northeast Mission
Few topics raise hackles (and voices) more than parking. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency will wade back into a particularly contentious parking battle in the northeast section of the Mission District this month when it unveils a revised proposal for adding parking meters. A similar effort was rebuffed last year when the agency first […]

Gun fight in the Senate
In the first congressional bout over legislation to require tighter background checks for gun buyers, gun violence prevention advocates chalked up a win in the Senate Judiciary Committee, but barely. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., despaired at the lack of a single Republican vote. The fight moves to the House on Friday, when Rep. Mike Thompson, […]

Will the new Pope Tweet?
Will the new Pope Tweet? Well, the pope emeritus, Benedict XVI, did @Pontifex. Just as the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel advertised the church's message to a mostly illiterate 16th century populace, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other social media are modern tools for ministry to a digitally connected Catholic world. There is a difference, though. […]

Something fishy about red snapper
Rising beef prices are sending more Northern Californians to the seafood counter to pick up a few fillets of their favorite fish. But the "red snapper" you paid a premium price for may not be able to live up to its name. Seafood fraud is a problem. Labeling rock fish as snapper however, is not […]

Oakland to graduate new police officers

Women see violence in media as part of the gun violence problem
Chronicle staff writer Joe Garofoli told readers today about how women see the gun violence issue very differently from men: they want action, not rhetoric. And they want to hear from individuals about their experiences, not the National Rifle Association or political leaders. There's a few more tantalizing details in the Women Donors Network poll […]

Lisbon hunter's fatal shot: Was there a deer or not?
Holmes has insisted he saw and heard a doe that morning in the Lisbon woods and shot his Winchester 30-06 bolt-action rifle from about 75 feet.
"I know it's highly unlikely," Mancini replied.
Harden repeated that Mancini didn't know what Holmes had seen.
"I can't say with any degree of certainty," Mancini acknowledged.
Jellison testified that there had been times when he'd heard a deer blow only once, while others did so several times. As far as reacting to a shot, "They have different reactions," he said, including running, walking slowly away, or even standing still and looking at the shooter.
"There's no test for that, is there?" Harden asked.
"No," Jellison replied.
On Tuesday, Mancini told Bell, "There are no absolutes in deer behavior."
During a courtroom break, Harden refused to say whether Holmes would take the stand. The trial continues this morning.

The High Costs of Cheap Meat
Posted on August 12th, 2007 by Colleen in Food for Thought Blog Podcast Writings
This Post has 2 Comments
This Post has 2 Comments
This episode debunks the claim that a "vegan diet is more expensive than a non-vegetarian diet" by looking at a cost comparison of the equivalent amount of animal versus plant protein, by looking at the government subsidies that make food artificially cheap, and by looking at costs that go beyond mere dollars: those of the environment, the lives of the animals, our health, and our peace of mind. I also offer some thoughts about why it's no harder for a person of 75 to change her habits than it is for a person of 20.

Great message. Thank you for giving me a solid answer to the objections out there regarding the cost of a vegan diet.
Angie Oxley
Great podcast! It is a difficult transition when one has to unlearn decades of meat & dairy food habits. True about family recipes repertoire to be adjusted but discovering new ones is the amazing part & now more food choices than ever. Whole foods vegan diet is surprisingly cheap. Any processed vegan foods are a sometimes food.

Sources say the planned revamp is the company's "next major project in 2010" and will focus partly on the programming of Bravo, which targets a younger, mainly male, audience with action, crime and gaming programming. It is understood there are plans for more commissions and acquired content, as Virgin looks to build the channel's "scale".
The result of the changes is likely to be a tweaking of the channel's orientation. One source said: "In the past, the channel could have alienated some female viewers, but we want to capture more viewers."
There is no suggestion that VMtv wants to move the channel away from being predominantly male-focused, but is thought to be looking to attract a wider viewing base for some shows.
The relaunch is the latest phase in what one source labelled a "refresh" of the Virgin Media TV portfolio. Earlier this year, it emerged that VMtv was to close its teenage-oriented pay-TV channel, Trouble.
The sale of VMtv, revealed by Media Week in February, is understood to be continuing, with BSkyB and Time Warner competing to buy the company. Virgin Media declined to comment.
Virgin Media TV looks to broaden Bravo's appeal
LONDON - Virgin Media TV is planning a revamp of its male-oriented TV channel, Bravo.

Topic: The Pearl
How does the setting of the story reflect changes in the characters?
the setting of the story changes throughout the book
1 Answer | add yours
In the beginning, the story is set in the village, primarily around Kino's hut. He is described as a good man and as one that loves his wife and son.
However, by the end of the story, Kino and his family find themselves in a cave--that's going backward in evolution a bit, right?!
When Kino and Juana and their son are "trapped" on this mountain, the descriptions of Kino change drastically. He is described much like an animal is described--he almost becomes non-human.
Kino is at first a loving human, but by the end becomes an animal...all thanks to the greed he develops once he discovers the pearl!

Murder City (eBook)
Murder City (eBook)
In Murder City, Charles Bowden-one of the few journalists who has spent extended periods of time in Juárez-has written an extraordinary account of what happens when a city disintegrates. Interweaving stories of its inhabitants-a raped beauty queen, a repentant hitman, a journalist fleeing for his life-with a broader meditation on the town's descent into anarchy, Bowden reveals how Juárez's culture of violence will not only worsen, but inevitably spread north.
Heartbreaking, disturbing, and unforgettable, Murder City establishes Bowden as one of our leading writers working at the height of his powers.
About the Author
Charles Bowden, the recipient of a Lannan Literary Award and the Sidney Hillman Award, is the critically acclaimed author of numerous books, including Down by the River and Some of the Dead Are Still Breathing. He is a contributing editor for GQ and Mother Jones, and also writes for Harper-s, the New York Times Book Review, Esquire, and Aperture. He lives in Tucson, Arizona.

Next is a visit of the sixteenth-century Château de Cheverny, filled with original artwork, tapestries, and period furniture, before we embark along the Loire River.

Participate in a hands-on art class with the resident artist in his own studio. We'll enjoy lunch at one of the three restaurants in the famous gardens before heading to our next destination: the Fantasy Forest.

Visit the Clos Lucé, a museum with replicas of Leonardo da Vinci's inventions displayed outdoors as an interactive playground. After, do a little shopping in town or spin off to a great local white wine producer to learn about the refined Montlouis-sur-Loire appellation from Olivier, a fifth-generation winemaker.

Meal: Breakfast

People love deals. That is why you can make use of coupons to entice people to buy from you. This can happen anywhere you sell online.
Suppose you sell on eBay. Then, you can offer a bonus coupon for subsequent purchase. You can even add customers that buy from you onto your mailing list and alert them any time you have new coupons available. Just be sure that you use double opt in (meaning they have to confirm) and always give them the option to opt out. Make that easy for them otherwise they'll accuse you of spamming them.
To implement coupons is fairly straight forward. You simply setup a form on your sales page and if they enter the coupon correctly, you redirect them to another sales page that has the discounts preset.
Hope this helps. Get more helpful advice on selling online (especially auctions) at Auction Startup

Posted by Rob McGarr, 22 September 2011
The premise of forthcoming Brit-flick Demons Never Die is that a group of kids make a suicide pact – i.e. decide to all kill themselves – but then a murderer starts popping them off one by one.
Well that sounds pretty handy, eh? Save you the bother of topping yourself. A nice little time-saver. A bit like hiring a cleaner because you can't be arsed to scrape the pizza droppings off your own bed, or a dog-walker because you're a lazy bastard and the prospect of taking Lord Growlington out for a stroll appeals as much as eating one of those urinal 'cakes' – SUCH a misleading name, TRUST US *shudder*.
But, if they were all like "sweet, me first please mister murderer", it would have made a bit of a naff film. So, instead, they turn all ungrateful and decide they don't want to be killed, after all. Jeeez, kids these days - can't they just make up their bloody minds?
They all decide they've actually got something to live for and set out to a) stop this masked killer from exterminating them; b) find out who it is; and, most importantly, c) boost their acting careers.
One of those trying to stay alive is former Hollyoaks heartthrob Emma Rigby.
"Mirror, mirror, on the wa..." "Of course you're the fairest look at yourself for fuck's sake"
In terms of the strength of the narrative, we think it's important she survives because STONE THE CROWS WILL SHE EVER STOP GETTING MORE AND MORE PRETTY?
Cheryl-in-disguise Tulisa Contostavlos is also in it.
Here she is writing a draft text message. You probably think we're stupid and that she's actually writing a letter or jotting down some thoughts on possible murder suspects
Well the joke's on you. Also, cunnilingus bear is still at it
Obviously it's important that Tulisa survives, else who'll be there to put X Factor girls that get 'all up in her grill' back in their place?
"I worked my way up from Camden Town!"
"Err, yeah, well done, but what's so bad about Camden Town? It's hardly the Ogo, is it?"

So far, I've enjoyed the kegerator. While setting it up, the piece of the tap that connects to the keg broke. It was made pretty cheaply, but fortunately customer service was quick to send me a replacement part. Other than that, it works as expected and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a home full-sized kegerator!
The Kegerator was great. the tap and tubes, fittings were great quality and the kegerator keeps the beer very cold. The co2 bottle set up directions and setup results were very good as only the first 2 glasses poured had foam issues on the two kegs we tapped. After that, it poured great!
Great product would buy again. It comes with every thing you need you just have to go buy a co2 tank witch cost about $** and will last you about 2 kegs. I put racer 5 it poor amazing!!! Buy this kegorator.
Were vey happy with our kegarator...was my husbands most favorite Christmas gift! Great price, great quality, keeps beer cold and fresh...fits full size or pony kegs. Definitely recommend!
I love it. It came about a month ago and was fairly easy to set up. On keg number two and have had no issues. The beer is cold and the poor is great. The instructions call for 15-20PSI but I would I recommend a PSI around 8 or 10 for the best poor.

text: Sheets & Gross, Inc. Written by Jaymes Langrehr on Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:56. After Wednesday evening's stellar performance by Phillies' starter Cole Hamels (perfect through 6 IP), who only allowed two Brewers' runs on a J.J. Hardy homer in the 7th, the Brew Crew stared into the abyss this morning, likely pondering if the ride was over. But the Crew had their ace in the hole, Ben Sheets, and played it this afternoon...and with #6 outfielder Gabe Gross getting the nod, and responding with a pair of solo home runs to support Sheets, the Brewers managed to avoid the sweep and take the series finale against the Phillies Thursday afternoon, 3-2. Sheets got behind early, serving up a gopher ball to Phils' left-fielder Pat Burrell in the 2nd inning; but Gabe Gross, making a rare start in right-field hit solo homers in both the 3rd and 5th innings to spot Sheets his first lead of the day...Sheets got two outs in the 8th, but served up a double to Aaron Rowand, then the RBI offering to the next hitter, Shane Victorino. Skipper Ned Yost wasted no time skipping over Derrick Turnbow and going right to Coco Cordero in the 8th, and Cordero, although allowing Burrell to double with one out in the 9th to put the tying run into scoring position, wound up finishing off the Phils to earn his 16th save on the season. The Brewers are now 26-15, still in first, but just 4 ahead of Houston in the loss column. Another test comes this weekend already, as the Brewers return home to Miller Park for an interleague series against former AL rival Minnesota. Chris Capuano (5-1, 2.93) gets the nod Friday evening against Boof Bonser (1-1, 4.33)...Capuano needs a good outing to erase memories of that 4 ER/4 IP outing at Shea in his last start. Capuano & Co. are hitting the Twinkies at just the right time--not only have the Twins lost their last 3 games in a row, and 8 of their last 10, but Johan Santana pitched on Thursday and will get nowhere near the pitching rubber in Miller Park. Now's the time to build on the lead in the division before heading out west.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about one of the upgrades in the iPhone 3.0 software update that allows the Safari browser on iPhone to be location-enabled. Firefox had previously implented something similar in a beta version of the browser, and now that functionality has been released to the world. Firefox 3.5, released on Wednesday, is fully "location-enabled." What this means is that Web sites can now ask Firefox for your location, and the browser can now deliver it. Initially, Google has signed on as the default "location provider" for Firefox. As a Firefox user, suppose you pull up a Web site that wants to use your location. Firefox will gather some information about WiFi access points near you and send that information to Google. Because Google maintains a database that maps WiFi access points to actual physical locations, it can use this information to calculate your location. That location gets sent back to your Firefox browser, and the browser forwards it on to the Web site that originally requested it. The accuracy of the location depends on a number of factors, but can be within a handful of meters in densely populated areas. Firefox and Google have taken a couple of excellent steps to protect the privacy of Firefox users throughout this process. The location information gets transmitted over an encrypted connection so it can't be sniffed en route between the browser and Google or vice versa.
Given how much advertising we all see, especially online, you know it means something when the entire advertising industry gets together to make an announcement. Today, the advertising industry, as represented by a cohort of trade associations, joined together to publish their own self-regulatory principles, with an aim toward increasing privacy protection for online behavioral advertising. It's encouraging to see the advertisers move into the privacy fray here (although not entirely surprising). For nearly a decade, the self-regulatory space has been dominated by the Network Advertising Initiative, which has historically included only third-party ad networks, which comprise just a small sliver of the industry. But when the FTC issued its own suggested self-regulatory principles earlier this year, the guidance from the agency wasn't limited to any particular advertising sector. The advertising associations appear to have gotten the message, and have tailored their principles in rough accordance with the FTC's recommendations. The advertiser principles incorporate many of the ideas that we and others have previously suggested to both the FTC and the NAI. The transparency principle includes a robust framework for providing notice outside of privacy policies, and lays the groundwork for development of a uniform link or icon that would appear on any web site or advertisement where data is collected or used for behavioral advertising.
There's been a lot of buzz over the last few days about the new iPhone 3.0 software that was released this week. You might have seen reviews of a new service offered as part of the update called Find my iPhone, which shows you your iPhone's location on an online map should you misplace it. But while Find my iPhone may be getting all of the location buzz, the new iPhone software includes another feature which, I think, will ultimately prove to be much more significant for location - and for location privacy. With the release of the new software, the latest version of the Safari web browser running on the iPhone will be location-enabled. This means that any Web site can ask Safari for the user's location, and Safari can provide it by using the location positioning technologies built into the phone (including GPS, among others). Apple has implemented a simple interface (based on a draft of a W3C standard that Web sites can use to request location.
There's a lot of talk in the online privacy world about first parties and third parties. Generally speaking, when you surf to abc.com, that site is considered to be a first party during the time that you're on the site. If abc.com contains ads, content, scripts, or other stuff being delivered by xyz.com, then xyz.com is considered a third party. The distinction matters because privacy norms and rules usually apply differently for first parties than for third parties. Consumers are likely to have relationships with first parties, or at the very least they know that when they visit abc.com, they're interacting with abc.com. That's not always so clear for third parties - consumers may have no idea which third parties are active on a particular site. Because of this difference, first parties don't always have the same privacy obligations as third parties. For example, the guidelines for behavioral advertising self-regulation that the FTC put out earlier this year apply only to third-party behavioral advertising, not to first parties doing the same thing. But given market dynamics on the Internet these days, it's quite possible that a single company may own or control lots of Web sites. We now have no shortage of media and digital business conglomerates: through acquisition or diversification, a single company comes to own a whole variety of web properties that, to consumers at least, show no signs of being related. Should a collection of Web sites owned by a single company all be considered a single first party, such that data collected on one site can be used on another site without either site being considered a third party?
The European Commission began legal action against the U.K. Tuesday over its failure to protect Internet users from Phorm -- a covert behavioral advertising technology tested by the U.K.'s biggest fixed line operator, BT, in 2006 and 2007. The move signals growing concern in Brussels over the way new Internet-based technologies are using people's personal data. In addition to taking legal action against the U.K., the Commission also issued a general warning to all 27 E.U. countries to uphold privacy laws, especially regarding social-networking Web sites and users of RFID (radio frequency identification) technologies. The Commission, the executive body of the European Union responsible for upholding laws, said the U.K. had failed to enforce E.U. More »
- The most recent batch of videos posted on WhiteHouse.gov do not use an embedded YouTube video player. Instead, the White House is using its own embedded Flash video player and apparently leveraging the Akamai content delivery network to serve videos. No persistent cookies are involved. - The WhiteHouse.gov privacy policy has been updated. Instead of singling out YouTube as its video provider, it now addresses persistent cookies used by "some third party providers" for statistical purposes. This is probably a good move if the White House is working with more than one third party service provider, but it would be nice to know which private companies the White House is working with (non-government sites like USA Today have been disclosing this kind of information for some time now]). - YouTube now offers the choice of embedding any video on another site with "delayed cookies." Using this option means that an embedded video player will not set a persistent cookie on the video viewer's computer until the viewer actually clicks on the YouTube video player. More »
The online advertising industry took a collective deep breath Thursday as the Federal Trade Commission issued its much-anticipated report outlining self-regulatory guidelines for the online behavioral advertising. Although behavioral ad networks already follow their own voluntary guidelines in the Network Advertising Initiative (which was updated just two months ago), we think it's pretty clear from the report, and from comments from the Commission, that the FTC does not find existing self-regulatory efforts to be sufficient. As Commissioner Jon Leibowitz noted in his statement endorsing the report, this could be the industry's "last clear chance to show that self-regulation can - and will - effectively protect consumers' privacy." In her concurring statement, Commissioner Pamela Jones Harbour noted legislation's place in a "comprehensive privacy agenda" and expressed doubts about the efficacy of self-regulation. Having a regulatory agency issue self-regulatory guidelines is essentially the last step before regulation comes into play. The question is whether the industry will step up. The FTC report raises the self-regulatory bar in a number of ways.
For videos that are visible on WhiteHouse.gov, a 'persistent cookie' is set by third party providers when you click to play the video. This persistent cookie is used by YouTube to help maintain the integrity of video statistics. A waiver has been issued by the White House Counsel's office to allow for the use of this persistent cookie. If you would like to view a video without the use of persistent cookies, a link to download the video file is typically provided just below the video.
Over the past few months, lawmakers on both sides of the Atlantic have been scrutinizing ISP involvement in online behavioral advertising, with three hearings in the U.S. Congress and multiple inquiries in the EU. For two U.S. firms, NebuAd and Adzilla, the spotlight seems to have shined too brightly. Both firms have lost their chief executives within the last several weeks. NebuAd is currently revisiting its business plans, while Adzilla has shuttered its North American operations altogether. The parting thoughts of Adzilla CEO Toby Gabriner may be instructive (though he certainly has reasons to be disappointed with the recent turn of events).
The Supreme Court has been doing a pretty good job of resisting government arguments that interpretation of the Fourth Amendment should ignore the implications of modern technology.
Two years ago, for example, the government argued to the Court that using a GPS device to track an automobile 24/7 for nearly a month was no different from assigning a police officer to tail someone. Following a person on the public streets was never considered a "search" under the...

Dizzying Pics of Hong Kong's Massive High-Rise Neighborhoods

When you first see Michael Wolf's photography, it takes a second to realize what you're looking at. The multi-colored patterns look almost like an unidentifiable piece of technology, as though a chunk of plastic was plucked out of a motherboard and magnified. It's only when you begin to notice the windows and balconies and even the occasional person punctuating his frame that you realize you're staring at someone's home. More specifically, you're looking at Hong Kong's colorful high-rises, the most prevalent form of housing in one of the most vertical cities on the planet. In his Architecture of Density project (now a book), Wolf transforms his adoptive home city's ubiquitous architecture into stunning works of art.
Wolf begins by driving around Hong Kong to scout possible photo locations. If he sees a photogenic building (tall, bright and detailed), he'll look for the best vantage point for shooting the structure. "The location is crucial," he says. "You need an unobstructed view."
Fortunately, Hong Kong is a hilly place, so it's easy for Wolf to walk up an incline to get parallel to the middle of a building. Occasionally, he'll climb up on rooftops, parking garages or even schools. "Sometimes I'll go into the building opposite," he says. "I'll try to find someone who will let me into his apartment so I can photograph out of the window."
After Wolf gets his shots, he prints out the photographs and lays them on the floor to study them, sort of like the way a writer storyboards a novel. "At some point I just took a photograph and I folded away the sky and the horizon until I just had the pure architecture. I realized it was a very effective visual effect," he explains. "By removing the context, viewers have no idea how big these building actually are." It's easy to imagine that the buildings Wolf shoots could easily rise another 40 stories, though it's impossible to really know. "It gives you this illusion of almost endless size," he says.
If you look closely at Wolf's photographs you can see that none of them are taken on sunny days. "I always photograph on overcast days because I don't like the hard contrast," he says. "I like to see a lot of detail." Clouds allow Wolf to see into the gaps of the houses and document the small details that would otherwise be washed out.
As viewers, it allows us to notice the designs of everyday life in Hong Kong. Because it doesn't freeze, contractors are able to snake drainage pipes up and down the length of a building, creating striking patterns. And because Hong Kong is so densely packed (Wolf notes the average apartment size is probably around 400 square feet), people tend to use public space as private space. "You'll see woks, mops, all kinds of things hanging outside the windows because there's just not enough space in the apartment," he says.
The driving force behind Hong Kong's expansive high-rise culture is purely economic. To maximize revenue, the government needs to keep the land expensive, which means they need to keep it rare. Contractors will bid on a small plot of land, driving the price up, and whoever wins has the choice: Do you build high or low? "If you want to make a profit on that land you have to build high," explains Wolf. "Because you can build a two-story house on a plot of land or you can build a 60-story house, but if you build 60 stories you can get 20,000 apartments out of it."
It's important to note that while Hong Kong's buildings look unwelcoming and claustrophobic, Wolf notes that many people prefer to live in them (if they can afford it) than commuting in from the countryside every day. It's estimated that nearly 90 percent of people take public transit in the city.
In the United States, we're spoiled with space. Even in New York City, where it can sometimes feel as though you're walking on top of the person in front of you, we have the luxury of expansive parks and comparatively well-sized apartments. To live in Hong Kong is truly to live in a mega-city, where your apartment building can have a population greater than entire towns in Nebraska. It's not for everyone, says Wolf, but it does lend itself nicely to the photographer lifestyle.
"Photography is a very voyeuristic medium," he notes. After years of living in a small house in Hong Kong's countryside, Wolf himself now lives in a 21-story high-rise that's surrounded by similarly tall buildings. Believe it or not, he actually loves it. "It's as if I'm living in one of my photographs," he says. "I look out on a sea of 5,000 apartments…it's fascinating."

Daniel Pearl World Music Days Surpasses 10,000 Global Concerts Since Program's Inception in 2002
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Daniel Pearl Foundation (www.danielpearl.org) announced today that a significant milestone was achieved during this October's Daniel Pearl World Music Days as more than 10,000 global concerts had been presented since the program's inception in 2002.
"This year, which marks the 10th anniversary of Daniel's murder, we take pride in the global symphony that his life has inspired," said Daniel's father Judea, President of the Daniel Pearl Foundation. "Danny traveled the world with a pen and a fiddle, connecting people through words and music. This October, his journey was echoed by 1,905 performances ringing the earth for sanity and humanity."
Daniel Pearl was the Wall Street Journal's South Asia bureau chief when he was abducted and murdered by Islamic militants in Pakistan in 2002. That October, his birthday month, his family and friends organized concerts around the world with his musician friends in honor of Danny's love of music and ideals of tolerance and common humanity. What began with 123 events in 15 countries has over the decade grown to 10,124 Daniel Pearl World Music Days performances in 125 countries through last month.
Elton John, a member of the Daniel Pearl World Music Days honorary committee, made a dedication to Pearl during his October concerts in Las Vegas. Earlier, he told an audience of some 12,500 at his Peace One Festival in London's Wembley Arena that journalists such as Pearl "put their lives on the line for people like us to find out the truth." So, he said, "every year we dedicate a song in his memory because he loved music, [and] so that he won't be forgotten."
Some other notable musicians who dedicated their music to the theme of "Harmony for Humanity" included Peter Gabriel, Philip Glass, Kool and the Gang, Young the Giant, Earl Klugh, Grouplove, Switchfoot, Indigo Girls, Ozomatli, Jane Monheit, George Pehlivanian, Dave Koz, and Mark O'Connor. In addition, more than 40 U.S. Embassies throughout the world gathered musicians from diverse cultures to participate.
"As always, we are inspired by the kindness, dedication and talent of the musicians and entertainers who have joined us in uniting the world through music," said Ruth Pearl, Daniel's mother and co-founder of the Foundation. "The music resonates in sharp defiance of the forces that took our son's life, and will reinforce our unshaken conviction that, at the end of the day, music will triumph and humanity will prevail."
About The Daniel Pearl Foundation:
Formed in 2002 in memory of the Wall Street Journal's South Asia Bureau Chief, journalist/musician Daniel Pearl, the Daniel Pearl Foundation promotes the ideals of tolerance and our common humanity that inspired his life and work. The Foundation works domestically and internationally to promote cross-cultural dialogue and understanding, to counter cultural and religious intolerance, to cultivate responsible and balanced journalism, and to inspire unity and friendship through music (www.danielpearl.org), journalism and dialogue.

Article | Harvard Business Review | March 2012
by Michael E. Porter and Jan W. Rivkin
The U.S. is not winning its appropriate share of location decisions, even those involving the high-value-adding activities that the country has long been able to attract. In part, this is because U.S. policy makers are not addressing weaknesses in the national business environment and are doing little to fight economic distortions that disfavor location in the United States. In addition, executives are prone to leave or overlook U.S. locations because they ignore many hidden costs associated with offshoring and do not consider how to enhance the economic potential of U.S. locations. Although both government and business must urgently address some unnecessary weaknesses in the U.S. business environment, there are hopeful signs that sophisticated management teams are reevaluating their rush offshore and, in some instances, are moving high-end mobile activities back to the United States.

Pakistani teen tells of his recruitment, training as suicide bomber
Arshad Khan is one of countless young boys recruited by a network of Taliban commanders. His story highlights the challenge ahead for Pakistani authorities in ending the war on terror.
(Page 2 of 3)
There are around 12,000 registered madrasas across Pakistan. The registered ones belonging to the Debandi school of thought work under their own educational board, known as Wafaq-ul Madaras Al Arabia Pakistan, with their own syllabus and examinations parallel to government educational system.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
According to some estimates, there are around 1,700 registered small and big madrasas in Karachi and as many unregistered and unregulated ones. The madrasas also offer free boarding and lodging along with Islamic education for poor students coming from far-flung areas.
Razzaq himself had studied at a madrasa while he was in his teens and then worked in various madrasas doing petty jobs in the administration. He lived close to Khan's neighborhood and would regularly visit the same unregulated madrasa-cum-mosque where Khan studied.
Khan says he remembers Razzaq's charm well.
"I would start interacting with him almost every day at the madrasa," says Khan. "He would tell me about the jihad, and hand over booklets glorifying mujahideen's victories against infidels. Slowly and gradually, I got sucked into it and started believing that the biggest aim in life is jihad. Now I realize that it was wrong."
He says he remembers the militant commander telling the madrasa boys that "everybody lives for worldly life, but those who choose to live for the hereafter are the most sacred." It was exciting and radical and seemed to make sense at the time.
The closer he was getting to the Taliban local commander, the more he was drifting away from his usual lifestyle. "I stopped going to play football. My friends changed. I stopped asking for extra pocket money to play video games," he recalls. The change in behavior infuriated his mother.
One day, Khan had an argument with her about focusing more on his studies at school and less on the madrasa. Fuming, Khan went to the madrasa that day in spite of his mother and sat in a corner to sulk.
'Let's go for a holy journey'
"Somebody tapped my shoulder saying 'let's go for a holy journey,' " says Khan. "It was him. 'How can I leave my mother,' I said. He replied 'Let's make your Allah happy, the sins of seven generations of your family be washed away." And that was enough at that moment, Khan says.
The next morning, July 28, 2009, Khan was on his way to a terrorist training camp in North Waziristan.
When he boarded the bus, Razzaq introduced him to a group of five boys, including one other teen named Waqar. It took about a day to reach Miranshah, the capital of North Waziristan, and the group of boys spent the night at a small hotel.
"We drove in a four-wheel-drive pickup on hilly terrain and after a while were off-loaded. Then we walked for almost four hours in the plains surrounded by mountains," Khan says. "The Taliban, armed with rocket launchers and Kalashanikovs, guided us throughout. Then we reached the area near Razmak valley on the borders of South Waziristan."
Khan and other boys were taken inside a fortified compound on a hill. Taliban warriors greeted them with "Allah O Akber, Allah O Akber [God is great, God is great]."
'Ready to sacrifice' life
Khan says that it wasn't until Razzaq announced to the Taliban trainers that the boys were mujahideen, there to fight infidels and ready to sacrifice their lives, that it dawned on him what was going on. But by that time, there was no turning back.
"There were 30 to 40 boys. The trainer would wake us up before sunrise. After stretching and light exercise, he would make us climb up and down on the mountains." After morning prayers, the training would start again. "Then to balance on a tightrope. They would teach us to assemble and disassemble Kalashanikovs; and the positioning and target shooting on the mountain; the handling of explosive devices."
After afternoon prayers each day, he says another militant commander would deliver a lecture.
