The OTHER UNH player Corey Graham
Everyone talks about David Ball when talking about a UNH player in the draft.
However this guy looks like a better prospect. If he can't make it at CB he should have a shot a FS. Are there any UNH people who might know more about him? http://insider.espn.go.com/nfldraft/...layer?id=10713 |

Competition will be held in Rio de Janeiro, selected as site of 2016 Games
Copenhagen, Denmark (October 9, 2009) – After an absence of more than a century, golf will return as an Olympic sport in 2016 and 2020 along with rugby sevens following their approval by the International Olympic Committee membership during the IOC's 121st Session.
Golf was approved 63-27 with two abstentions. Rugby was voted in 81-8 with one abstention.
They will be part of the Olympic Program in Rio de Janeiro, which last week was selected as the host city for the 2016 Games by the IOC. Golf was last an Olympic sport at the 1904 Games in St. Louis, Mo., when the United States and Canada were the only two competing countries.
"We are elated that the IOC membership has accepted golf as an Olympic sport, and look forward to seeing the world's best golfers compete for gold at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro," said Ty Votaw, Executive Director of the International Golf Federation Olympic Golf Committee, which has coordinated golf's Olympic bid. "We thank the IOC for its support, and also congratulate rugby sevens for its inclusion in the 2016 Games."
Votaw and Peter Dawson, chief executive of The R&A and joint secretary of the International Golf Federation, were accompanied by professionals Padraig Harrington of Ireland, Michelle Wie of the United States and Suzann Pettersen of Norway, as well as 16-year-old (British) Amateur Champion Matteo Manassero of Italy, for a final presentation to the IOC prior to the vote.
"We are extremely grateful that Padraig, Michelle, Suzann and Matteo were able to join us to help communicate the genuine interest world-class players of all ages share in golf becoming an Olympic sport," Dawson said.
Golf and rugby sevens were recommended for the Olympic Program by the IOC Executive Board in August following an extensive review process involving seven sports that were vying to be added to the 2016 Olympic Games. Although they emerged as the finalists, both sports still required final approval Friday by a majority of votes cast by the members of the IOC.
"In addition to those golfers who will have an opportunity to compete as Olympic athletes, we are excited for the national golf federations that will reap the benefits from today's decision in terms of growth and support within their countries," Dawson said. "This is a very significant day for golf."
Leading up to Friday's final vote, golf and rugby sevens emerged from a year-long evaluation that included formal presentations by the seven sports, the submission of a Detailed Questionnaire and responses to questions raised by both the IOC Programme Commission and the IOC Executive Board. The IOC Executive Board announced its recommendation of two sports following a meeting in Berlin, Germany on Aug. 13.
"We strongly believed that golf deserved to be added to the Olympic Program and felt that we presented a compelling case to the IOC," Votaw said. "We have received unprecedented support from international golf organizations throughout this process, as well as from the world's top-ranked men and women players, which was critical to our success. We also stressed the universal nature of golf, with 60 million people playing the sport in more than 120 countries."
Based on player feedback, the IGF has proposed a format of 72-hole individual stroke play for both men and women. In case of a tie for either first, second or third place, a three-hole playoff is recommended to determine the medal winner(s).
The IGF also has recommended an Olympic field of 60 players for each of the men's and women's competition, using the Official World Golf Rankings as a method of determining eligibility. The top-15 world-ranked players would be eligible for the Olympics, regardless of the number of players from a given country. Beyond the top 15, players would be eligible based on the world rankings, with a maximum of two eligible players from each country that does not already have two or more players among the top 15.
Current world rankings from both the men's and women's games show that at least 30 countries would be represented in both the men's and women's competitions, from all continents, under this proposal.
About the International Golf Federation
The IGF was founded in 1958 to encourage the international development of the game and to employ golf as a vehicle to foster friendship and sportsmanship. Recognized by the International Olympic Committee as the official international federation for golf, the IGF is comprised of 123 Federations from 118 countries.
The IGF created the IGF Olympic Golf Committee to drive its effort for the sport's inclusion in the 2016 Games. Organisations represented on the committee are The R&A; European Tour; USGA; PGA of America; PGA TOUR; LPGA; the Masters Tournament; The Asian Tour; Australian Ladies Professional Golf Tour; Canadian Professional Golf Tour; Japan Golf Tour Organisation; The Ladies Professional Golfers Association of Japan; Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association; Korean Professional Golf Association; Ladies European Tour; Ladies Asian Golf Tour Ltd; PGA Tour of Australasia; The Sunshine Tour and The Tour de las Americas.

5 Great Gifts for Rhode Island Food Lovers
Thursday, December 12, 2013
Dave's Coffee Syrup, Charlestown (but...really...all over)
For true Rhode Islanders there are a few flavors that are necessary to the recipe of who we are. One of those flavors is coffee. It begins, innocently, when we are kids. Coffee ice cream. Coffee milk. Coffee. It's like a rite of passage around here. And then along came Dave's Coffee Syrup to send us--happily--running back to childhood. This is not your grandma's coffee syrup. This is craft roasted. This is cold brewed. This is pretty perfect! They have standard, vanilla, mocha and even decaf for those concerned. It ships well--as our pipeline to the West Coast can attest. We feel like we're in an episode of "Breaking Bad"--so send it to those who long for a taste of home! It's available at better supermarkets around the state or at http://www.davescoffeestore.com/
Tour of Newport Storm/Thomas Tew Rum, Newport
One of our true gems in Rhode Island food and drink is Coastal Extreme Brewery in Newport. They make the excellent Newport Storm beer and also distill Thomas Tew Rum. What most people don't know is that, every day except Tuesday, they offer guided brewery--or distillery--tours at 3 pm. And yes...those include tastings! Now, if you want to tour on your own, you can also do unguided tours whenever they are open, but we prefer the knowledge you get from the guides. You can do tastings of beer, rum or both. It's a fun trip into the mind of a brewer. 293 J.T. Connell Rd. 849-9232, http://www.newportstorm.com/
Gift Certificate to Persimmon Provisions, Barrington
One of the fastest ways to improve your holiday party's Yelp rating is to upgrade your ingredients. One of our favorite ways to raise the bar on dinner is to visit Chef Champe Speidel and his talented team at Persimmon Provisions. Your friends and family will instantly notice that you now have the power (and knowledge) of the Persimmon brand behind it. You can expect wide eyes when they taste the duck-fat-roasted potatoes. "Ooh"s when they taste the grass-fed beef. And "Aah"s when they realize that you spoke to some pros who helped you take their available ingredients and run with them. 338 County Rd. 337-5885, http://www.persimmonprovisions.com/
Cooking School at Pot au Feu, Providence
This is the best "ulterior motive" Christmas gift you could give. Do you have a budding home cook looking to take it to the next level? This Christmas, give them the gift that keeps on giving, and send them to one of Pot au Feu's cooking classes. The gift recipient gets a full day in the professional kitchen at the Pot; a personalized chef coat and what amounts to an all day crash course in food and wine. This is more like a golf lesson as it's very hands-on. They will help you prepare a five-course meal with wine pairings and you get to invite three guests to come and enjoy it. But beware. The diners become your graders and they decide if you graduate. 44 Custom House St. 273-8953, www. potaufeu.businesscatalyst.com
Gift Certificate to Newport Gourmet Tours
Imagine roaming the streets of our fair city while meeting some of the city's top chefs and mixologisits and tasting their creations. Now, sprinkle in some local history along the way and you have the idea behind Newport Gourmet Tours. Here's the rub though...you have to endure your intrepid writers as tour guides. (We promise it won't be too painful!) This tour was named Top Food Tour in New England by Yankee Magazine this past summer. We offer you five stops in about two hours with food--and cocktails!--at every stop. Call us at 401-787-4058 or email us at email@example.com

I grew up in the 60's drinking Eclipse coffee syrup which always tasted a lot better than Autocrat. When Autocrat bought Eclipse they retained the Eclipse recipe.
I never heard of Dave's.

1.5M+ in just over 30 minutes on "no" news?
Was just going to say that if this volume keeps up, we should slice thru 5.55 like butter!
Reminds me of when I tried to trade around a little bit with RMTI under $4 and ACRX from that level. Had I simply trusted the fundamentals and bought and held, I'd have made a lot more $$. Not trying that here! Holding tight ... and thanks to a lot of the old time longs here for "keepin' it real"!!
Well, we're seeing more digestion at the $7-ish level. Once "whomever" gets their fill, we move!! Big fish eating little fish, it appears!
ACRX, RMTI, IDRA, MDXG, OSIR and even a little ACTC!
Your thoughts are pretty similar to mine. As for my investment mirroring that of, say the BB, I agree that they can afford to lose a lot more than me. I love biotechs, but they can be a killer, too! You just have to pick more winners than losers, as there are bound to be some of those!
I'm relatively "late to the IDRA party" ... didn't buy on the initial run up, but did buy around $4 on the secondary. Have been watching it for quite awhile!
Yes, SIGA ... ugh! Funny how Drod never believed me when I said you could take that DEAD money and find other ways to recoup your losses. Sad individual, if indeed, he is "for real".
GL golong!
Patch, Kitty and others ...
If CHTP can get AA, what do you think the odds are that SRPT can, too? They sure have gotten the run around for a very serious and life-threatening disease. Their trial size is very small, but there have been great results and no real adverse side effects. I feel bad for the DMD families. Must be terrible to see your kids struggle, wither and die when you know there is help on the horizon.
People can easily choose their own paths and make their own decisions, as they should. Nobody has to believe what is posted here. Although, it is nice when those exchanges are done with some common civility and respect. As for "defending" people, that's not my job, whereas yours seems to be the MB censor or policeman, more often than not, on the attack! Are you the "watcher-in-chief", or do you see yourself as some protectorate? Delusions of grandeur ... party of one!
As for "speaking like someone with money", I guess you have never read "The Millionaire Next Door"? Just how DO people with money speak? Now, THAT is funny!
Since I brought it up ... here is a nice little summary from a reputable poster there:
Bullish, I get your fear as it is the same with any biotech that depends on results from their pipeline. Although we are not privy to the results behind the curtain, there are a lot of dots to connect here that give me a much greater degree of confidence then with other companies I have owned in the past. They are:
1. Hires in January with Genzyme in their resume. Mentioned by many, these are powerful players who took the plunge after being provided the details of the clinical work before signing on. No chance Lou Brenner is going to sign on unless he is sold on the science. He is in the peak of his career and this is a long term decision we wants to get right since he could write his own ticket with his iron clad resume.
2. All three groups - Board of Directors, Management Team and Clinical Board are 5-Star talent. This is a baseline requirement of mine before considering an investment in an equity. There are a number on the Board starting with the Chairman who could take over as CEO without the company missing a beat. I have never been so impressed with these three groups and they all work for us!
3. Strong secondary that was inhaled by funds ( mainly the Baker Brothers with warrants ) which is a strong signal. Follow the smart money.
4. Preliminary clinical results are very promising and if you read between the lines at the last conference you get the feeling our CEO is giddy about our overall future.
I share your concerns as I have a big stake in this company, but I sleep well at night knowing that others have made bigger bets personally and financially.
Agreed. Have you looked at IDRA? Nice pipeline, expecting positive trial results soon and huge participation by Baker Brothers. Pulled back from recent highs ... do your own DD, but worth a look! Might be early there, too, even though it's had a huge move in the past few months!
I really hate to say this because the real volume hasn't been there, but this is acting a lot like TSRX did!? Shhhhhhh ...
Baloney ... try buying anything of size at the ask, and most days the ask jumps immediately! I bought some in the high 15s/ lo 16s and could never get more than a few hundred at a time before it moved up!
The world truly is upside down! Unreal ... Who do you have to pay to get things done in D.C.?
Congrats, guys!!!
Patch, there's a lot to be said for sticking to your "plan"!!
Distribution or accumulation? Very different animals!?? I'd say it's the latter!
Fairly large buy blocks going thru, though ...
Labor of love, kirk! Agree ... Yahoo is hardly user friendly!
Well, "somebody" got impatient! ;-)
Finally!! Like a knife thru butter!
Apparently, they are VERY patient!!

"Simply the best smartphone available today"
5.0 starson by trey68Pros: Beautiful hi-res, deep color screen.
Fast, fast processor
Active noise reduction really works
Sleek design in the hand
Not tied to iTunes for music
Infinitely customizable home screens
Decent camera w/flash
Built in Google Nav, LatitudesCons: No multitouch in native browser (have to d/l Dolphin)
Confused support between Google/HTC/TMobileSummary: We bought two of these the day they went on sale. Both have performed without a hitch. We've had no problems with the touchscreen or 3G reception, which some have reported.
The screen is gorgeous, and the Nexus really lets you show it off with the animated wallpapers. The processor is very fast; on long webpages my iPhone would "checkerboard" as it tried to keep up with scrolling. On the Nexus, using the same wifi connection, their is NO lag.
The active noise reduction is great. You can make a call from a noisy subway station or basketball game and the caller at the other end doesn't hears almost none of the background noise. This should be standard on every phone.
I'm not sure Google will succeed in breaking the subsidized phone monopolies that some carriers have created for themselves, but I give them credit for trying. In the meantime, though, having support for the sale through Google, support for the phone warranty through HTC, and support for phone service through a third entity creates confusion. That hasn't been a problem for me, since both phones have been perfect, but it's a potential issue.
Overall, there is no other phone that matches the screen, performance or customization of the Nexus all in one package. It makes my iPhone seem rather boring now.

With temperatures reaching as high as the triple digits in parts of Siouxland, it becomes a race against the clock for ranchers and farmers to keep their livestock cool and hydrated.
It's the only relief these cattle get from the sweltering sun all day as temperatures soared near the century mark. There's practically no shade out on this ranch in Anthon, Iowa, so it's up to the owner to keep his thousands of cows comfortable and hydrated.
"We're very concerned about their well-being, of course this is our livelihood.The alternative is not good, it's death to them or severe death-loss/ As well as keeping their intakes up so they're performing. These cattle need to perform daily to cover their costs," said Allen Pitham, owner of Pitham Feed Owner, in Anthon.
Depending on the weather, Pitham will fill up this 2,600 gallon tank multiple times a day and shower his cattle with water. He also set up these timed-sprinklers above the cattle, that go off based on how hot the temperature gets.and on days like this one. The cows are literally lining up just so they can cool down. At a business in Sioux City, it's fans that are keeping these horses cool. Julie Dorn is an instructor at S.T.A.R.S., a program which offers therapeutic horse riding lessons. But with temps as hot as these, classes have been canceled and constant monitoring of the horses begins.
"I open up the barn, try to get them out of the direct sun, put fans on them... I hose the ones down that are really starting to get hot," said Dorn.
And even though this extreme heat may end in the next couple of days, livestock won't be out of the woods just yet, it takes them longer to bounce back after spending multiple days like this in the sun.
"The heat tends to build in the cattle. The First day or two they can get by," said Pitham.
"When the temperatures don't drop at night either like this, they don't get a reprieve from this heat at all. It's a tough one," said Dorn.
But things could be worse, both Pitham and Dorn say the wind is actually helping out a lot.

Since throwing open their eatery's doors in 2006, the Wing Busters clan has made it their mission to treat every customer like family. The chefs glaze crispy wings in 46 distinct sauces and seasonings, adding doses of garlic-parmesan, hickory-smoke-barbecue, or incendiary habanero sauce that enables diners to singe their own eyebrows with a single breath. They also craft po' boys and beefy burgers to order, plus down-home sides including jalapeño hush puppies and okra.
After ordering from the counter, guests can mosey over to one of the four-seat tables speckling the snug dining area. Dangling pennants adorn the walls alongside an array of framed pictures, memorabilia-filled shadowboxes, and freshly inspected fire extinguishers.

a nice bonus of Sandman is that talking about the Endless also sounds like you're talking about the things they represent too
Delirium used to be my favorite, and Dream used to be boring. Now, Dream is my favorite and the one I relate to most, more than I realized. Delirium used to seem charming and fun, but now seems cutesy and grating sometimes. Destruction is still one of my favorites, but I'm less like Destruction than I like to think I am. And I like Death, but not as much as everybody else does.
Does that still work if you use lowercase "d"s?

Topic: Columbia University
A Canadian Course in Torture
Canada has put Israel and the U.S. on an official list of countries where prisoners are at risk of being tortured. Here's Reuters with the best part: "CTV said the document was part of a course on torture awareness given to Canadian diplomats to help them determine whether prisoners they visited abroad had been mistreated." A course on torture awareness sounds like something from the 07′/08′ Columbia University course catalogue. According to this course, interrogation techniques such as "forced nudity, isolation, and sleep deprivation" are considered torture. Then again this is the country that considers critical media commentary a violation of human rights.
Guantanamo Bay (where prisoners tend to gain weight) is specifically mentioned. It should be noted that suspects held at Gitmo live in conditions far superior to the those of the men and women on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Conservative Canadian politicians are understandably humiliated: "A spokesman for Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier tried to distance Ottawa from the document. 'The training manual is not a policy document and does not reflect the views or policies of this government,' he said."
Nor does it reflect the views or policies of this one.
More on the Hong Kong Elections
As Arthur Waldron has written, the election of Anson Chan to LegCo, Hong Kong's legislature, was an important victory for democracy in the city, a special administrative region of China. Chan took her seat yesterday after beating Regina Ip, the candidate favored by the Chinese government, in Sunday's landslide win. The race was especially symbolic because both Chan and Ip sought to fill a vacancy created by the death of Ma Lik. Ma was the head of the misnamed Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong, the territory's main pro-Beijing party.
Not surprisingly, Beijing's friends attacked Chan moments after she was sworn in. Tsang Tak-sing, Hong Kong's secretary for home affairs, launched a personal attack on the new lawmaker, calling her a "sudden democrat" who cares little for the livelihood of the people of the city. Tsang, by the way, is the brother of a past chairman of the Democratic Alliance.
It's clear that Mainland leaders not only want the LegCo seat back, they need to eliminate Chan from politics. Her electoral win is not only a victory for democracy in Hong Kong, it is threatening to the rulers of the modern Chinese state. And unfortunately for Beijing, her presence in the legislature undermines a core assumption of the Communist Party of China. Ever since the early 1990′s, Chinese officials have been betting that continual economic growth will keep them in power. Yet Hong Kong's strong economy this decade did not translate into sufficient support at the polls for the pro-Beijing Ip.
Moreover, Chan's victory also undercuts an emerging trend in Western thinking. Due to the apparent success of present-day Communism in China, political scientists are beginning to believe that authoritarian is a sustainable form of governance. Columbia University's Andrew Nathan, for instance, is no friend of Communism, but he now talks of "resilient authoritarianism." Dozens of analysts have picked up on this theme and doubt the link between economic progress and democratization. Francis Fukuyama's seminal End of History is now ridiculed.
Yet Anson Chan's victory reminds political scientists that real people do not think prosperity is a substitute for representative governance. The academics and analysts should remember their Tocqueville. In The Old Regime and the French Revolution he wrote that sustained prosperity does not tranquilize a citizenry. On the contrary, it promotes "a spirit of unrest."
So we are all in debt to Chan, dubbed "Hong Kong's conscience," for reminding us that repressive governments are never as strong as they appear. Yesterday was a good moment for the people of Hong Kong—and for the rest of us as well.
Two Shades of Black
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's September 24 speech at Columbia University seems like ancient history. The news media has long since turned its attention to other obsessions, such as what a helluva nice guy Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee is, or just how low our expectations for the upcoming Annapolis conference should be. But professors at Columbia apparently have remarkably long attention spans, and the handling of Ahmadinejad's speech remains deeply contentious among faculty members.
The fault lines of this dispute are numbingly predictable. Last week, over 100 faculty members signed a petition, protesting Bollinger's leadership in light of the Ahmadinejad circus:
The president's address on the occasion of President Ahmadinejad's visit has sullied the reputation of the University with its strident tone, and has abetted a climate in which incendiary speech prevails over open debate. The president's introductory remarks were not only uncivil and bad pedagogy, they allied the University with the Bush administration's war in Iraq, a position anathema to many in the University community.
Not to be outdone, as of Monday, 70 faculty members had signed a counter-protest petition defending Bollinger, disputing the notion that the president's combative introduction of Ahmadinejad allied Columbia with (heaven forbid) the Bush administration:
As the publicly available transcript confirms, these remarks addressed sequentially: 1) Holocaust denial; 2) Ahmadinejad's stated intent to destroy Israel; 3) Iran's funding of terrorism; 4) Iran's proxy war against US troops in Iraq; and 5) Iran's nuclear program. Only the fourth item refers to the war in Iraq, and only in the context of Iran's role in financing and arming terrorist attacks against our troops.
Columbia's Tenured Thugs
We are called upon, ladies and gentlemen, to join the arts and sciences faculty of Columbia University in being aghast at the depredations of Lee Bollinger, who has not sufficiently expressed his intolerance for critics of the arts and sciences faculty, and who forced the entire university into lockstep with the Bush administration by saying mean things to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. These are truly dark days for the sensitive souls of the sociology department.
More than 100 faculty members issued a declaration yesterday stating that "President Bollinger has failed to make a vigorous defense of the core principles on which the university is founded, especially academic freedom." They note in particular that 1) the Bollinger administration has not made "unequivocally clear" that attempts by "outside groups…to vilify members of the faculty and determine how controversial issues are taught" will not be tolerated (whatever that entails). 2) That the faculty has not been sufficiently consulted before making "decisions on key issues." Point three bears reprinting in full:
The president's address on the occasion of President Ahmadinejad's visit has sullied the reputation of the University with its strident tone, and has abetted a climate in which incendiary speech prevails over open debate. The president's introductory remarks were not only uncivil and bad pedagogy, they allied the University with the Bush administration's war in Iraq, a position anathema to many in the University community."
And finally, Bollinger "has publicly taken partisan political positions concerning the politics of the Middle East in particular, without apparent expertise in this area or consultation with faculty who teach and undertake research in this area. His conflation of his own political position with that of the University is unacceptable."
In case you didn't get the message, Professor Eric Foner told the New York Times, regarding Bollinger's treatment of Ahmadinejad: "This is the language of warfare at a time when the administration of our country is trying to whip up Iran." Isn't it clear to you now that Bollinger is just a Bush stooge? This letter, coming after the ouster of Larry Summers at Harvard largely by the humanities faculty, has caused a stir on campus, and the most eloquent response happily has come from a dissenting group of Columbia professors, from the quantitative fields. Responding to point 1, they write that
When nonacademics and outsiders encounter or hear about what they consider inappropriate forms of teaching, allegations of intimidation or harassment, or the distortion of basic historical or scientific facts, they are justified in expressing, and entitled by the First Amendment to express, their objections. No university administration has the power to prevent such expression.
Is Russia Our Enemy?
In New York on Tuesday, Intelligence Squared, a British-based debate forum, sponsored a discussion on one of today's critical issues: Is Russia becoming our enemy again?
The debaters who took the benign view—especially Robert Legvold of Columbia University and Mark Medish of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace—argued that we should not call Russia an enemy because that might make it one. There is, of course, a dose of logic in this simple proposition. After all, we don't need to create another antagonist at this moment, especially if it's a large nation with a chip on its shoulder and a finger on the button.
Yet a mutually self-destructive spat of name-calling is not the problem we face at this time. "Just last week George W. Bush insisted in a speech that Russia is not an enemy of the United States," said the Wall Street Journal's Bret Stephens, as he argued that Moscow is indeed becoming an adversary. "Now if that does not convince this audience that our side is right, I don't know what will."
In just a few words Stephens identified perhaps the most important shortcoming of American foreign policy of this era. We don't have to worry about making Russia an enemy by calling it one. On the contrary, we have to be concerned that we will permit Russia to become an enemy by failing to speak plainly.
In recent months, Moscow has been supporting the atomic aspirations of the Iranians, bombing the Georgians, upgrading Syria's air defenses, poisoning and shooting foreign nationals on foreign soil, seizing foreign-owned energy investments without justification, threatening to withdraw from the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty and the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, harassing the Estonian government, and resuming cold war patrols of heavy bombers far from its shores (and close to our shores and those of our allies). In short, the Kremlin of Vladimir Putin has tried to upend the international system by taking down the post-cold war architecture.
And what is America doing? We call the Russian autocrat a friend and trustworthy partner. Methinks we do not protest enough.
Evil Empire Symphonies
The announcement that the New York Philharmonic likely will travel to North Korea next February, at the behest of that country's Culture Ministry, brings up memories of orchestral maneuvers during cold wars past. First Run Features has just issued on DVD the Oscar-winning 1979 documentary From Mao to Mozart: Isaac Stern in China, in which the great violinist hears direct testimony of the ghastly sufferings experienced by Chinese classical musicians during Mao's Cultural Revolution. Any trip to North Korea looks likely to be just as harrowing. Kim Jong Il, according to his official biography, has written 1,500 books and six operas, "all of which are better than any in the history of music." In 2001, the University Press of the Pacific published Kim Jong Il's Art of Opera, which contains such gems as: "An opera singer must sing well. A stage actor's main task is to speak well and act well. While an opera singer's main task is to sing well." We are also informed that an "orchestra must accompany songs skillfully." These gross banalities are natural from a philistine who requires that all music in his country be in praise of himself and Communism.
Jasper Becker's Rogue Regime: Kim Jong Il and the Looming Threat of North Korea from Oxford University Press accuses Kim and his father Kim Il Sung of responsibility for the deaths of 7 million North Koreans from famine, war, and political oppression. Becker particularly condemns politicians, from Vladimir Putin to Madeleine Albright, who returned home after trips to North Korea reporting "how rational, well-informed, witty, charming, and deeply popular Kim Jong Il is." This kind of flattering publicity is already being churned out by the Philharmonic, whose public relations director Eric Latzky informed the New York Times that Pyongyang, based on a preliminary visit, is "clean and orderly and not without beauty, and had a kind of high level of culture and intelligence."
Isaac Stern visited Communist China after the worst of the Cultural Revolution was already past, but North Korea is still a tragedy-in-progress. In Famine in North Korea: Markets, Aid, and Reform, published earlier this year by Columbia University Press, co-authors Stephan Haggard and Marcus Noland point out that Kim Jong Il's "culpability in this vast misery elevates the North Korean famine to the level of a crime against humanity." Mismanagement, after Soviet subsidies slowly stopped in the 1980′s, was aggravated by brutal state policies like the notorious 1991 "Eat Two Meals a Day" campaign and the 1997 songun or "military first" policy, giving the army and political hacks first claim on any foreign aid. Haggard and Noland state that by 2005, around 30 percent of foreign aid had been stolen by Kim and his cronies, while the famine deaths continued. New York Philharmonic musicians might choke on their after-concert dinners if they read these books. Nero fiddled while Rome burned, but he was not a Philharmonic violinist.
Cheapening Free Speech
When Columbia University invited Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak last month, the most common refrain uttered by the University's defenders was that, by doing so, the University was honoring the time-tested and proudly American principle of "free speech." This country was founded upon a resistance to monarchical authority; a corollary to that impulse is the individual's freedom to say or publish what he thinks. No one can quibble with this understanding of a bedrock American freedom. But where Columbia's defenders went wrong was in their contention that protesting Ahmadinejad's presence would contradict thi fundamentally American notion.
This has always been a silly and unsophisticated understanding of what the Bill of Rights actually says, or what the "spirit" of free speech actually means. No one has denied Ahmadinejad a platform for his odious views; indeed, just the day after his rant at Columbia he was given an international soapbox at the United Nations General Assembly. And the fact that his views on matters ranging from the existence of the Holocaust to the future existence of Israel are so well known further lays waste to the claim that not inviting Ahmadinejad would strike a blow to "free speech."
Cartoons After Columbia
Unctuous bows, veiled threats, and smug mockery do not an edifying speech make, but Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's performance at Columbia University offers at least one consolation: the cartoons. The utter absurdity of the event has drawn forth a pageant of arresting editorial cartoons, some quite amusing. But only one managed to capture its essential grotesqueness—the ostentatious display of tolerance to a man whose most notable characteristic is his murderous intolerance, killing with roadside bombs today and atomic weapons tomorrow.
Presumably because of the pressure of deadlines, most cartoonists did not deal with the substance of the Iranian president's talk, and depicted the event only in generic terms. Ed Stein of the Rocky Mountain News, for example, simply showed the worm in the Big Apple. Others focused on the theme of free speech. Pat Oliphant showed a disdainful Statue of Liberty, holding a diminutive Ahmadinejad at arm's length as he jabbers away harmlessly; for Tom Toles, Columbia gave its speaker a rope long enough with which to hang himself, the noose labeled "free speech."
Those who waited until after the speech to draw produced more penetrating images. Jerry Holbert of the Boston Herald had Ahmadinejad telling a politically incorrect joke ("a bunch of American infidels, a rabbi, and a suicide bomber walk into a bar"), which, while amusing, was not enough removed from reality to be truly funny. Far less amusing was the smattering of cartoonists who evidently have no objection to Ahmadinejad at all. Some like Tony Auth, the graphically inept cartoonist of the Philadelphia Inquirer, did not even think the event worthy of note. But then this discreet silence is preferable to the work of Lalo Alcaraz, who writes the daily comic strip La Cucaracha. His cartoon showed the Iranian under a sign labeled Republican Party Dept. of Homosexual Control, sitting between a photograph of President Bush and a sign "22 days gay free." In other words, the only real problem Alcaraz finds with Ahmadinejad, whose regime enforces the public execution of homosexuals, is that the Iranian leader reminds the cartoonist of Republicans—whose actions might just conceivably remove the death threat from those same homosexuals.
Columbia's Master Class
If Columbia University President Lee Bollinger had a burning desire to expose Columbia students to Islam and the realities of contemporary Iran, then inviting Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak was not the most effective method of exposure.
Ahmadinejad is first and foremost a politician, an extraordinarily shrewd one at that. His goal is not education, but rather propagation of his odious ideas.
Given the two leaders' divergent goals—one to educate and the other to indoctrinate—it seems odd that President Bollinger extended Ahmadinejad an invite. Why not ask Iranian scholars or journalists to illuminate aspects of Iranian society? Well, SIPA, Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs, has done just that. As it says on SIPA's website:
"Over the course of the 2007-2008 academic year, SIPA will host a lecture series examining the thirty year history of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Political leaders, scholars, and human rights activists will be invited to discuss the impact of the Islamic Republic of Iran on international security, peace, human rights, energy, and other critical issues."
Dandy. I guess inviting Ahmadinejad rounded out the playbill, and had the added benefit of making not only the Columbia President, but also the Iranian President, look good.
The Tittering at Columbia
There are no homosexuals in Iran, Iran's president said yesterday at Columbia University, and there are also no—or there will not ever be any—nuclear weapons.
Although Columbia's president said that the purpose of inviting the Iranian leader was to foster dialogue and the clash of ideas, as Bret Stephens points out in a brilliant column in today's Wall Street Journal, it is questionable whether the university president's "confidence in 'dialogue and reason' is well placed." It is even more questionable "whether confronting ideas is a sufficient condition for understanding the world," let alone for protecting ourselves from the menace represented by those ideas as they are expressed in the strategic and theological aspirations of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Of course, it pays to listen to Ahmadinejad's statements—including his false ones—with great care. But is it required of us to listen to them at the podium of an Ivy League university? And to pretend to be engaging in an academic "dialogue" with the Holocaust-denying, homosexual-denying, nuclear-weapons-denying, genocide-bent Iranian leader is something even worse.
The English language has a rich supply of words to label the Columbia dean, John Coatsworth, who said, in defending the invitation, that the university would also have been happy to invite Hitler to a debate in 1939. Which is the best term?
Columbia's Defeat
Speaking in New York on the eve of the U.N. General Assembly annual session, French President Nicholas Sarkozy declared that a third round of sanctions against Iran was both desirable and likely. If the U.N. will not adopt a third resolution, Sarkozy suggested, the EU will: "Between surrender and war, there is a range of solutions that exist like the reinforcement of sanctions, which will eventually have an effect," Sarkozy was quoted as saying. No war, clearly, though not surrender, either—a word that could describe Columbia University's decision to host Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
"Free Speech for Terrorists?"
This afternoon, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spoke by invitation at Columbia University. (See Gabriel Schoenfeld's post here.) Ahmadinejad has made clear that he considers the U.S. and Iran to be mortal enemies, and that the victory of Iran in the struggle between them is divinely ordained. This is to say nothing of his intention to develop a nuclear bomb, his genocidal attitude toward Israel, his denial of the Holocaust, and his blatant anti-Semitism and hatred of Christianity. In March 2005, the noted legal scholar Andrew McCarthy addressed in COMMENTARY the question of how far American legal protections of speech should extend toward our nation's declared Islamist enemies. In "Free Speech for Terrorists?" he concludes that the First Amendment is not now and never has been a suicide pact.
Shedding Light on Iran
As everybody's favorite Holocaust denier, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, arrives in New York, two recent articles about Iranian activities deserve more attention than they've been getting.
This article reports on a convoy captured by NATO forces on September 6 in the western Afghan province of Farah, which borders Iran. The convoy was full of bombs of the kind that Iran has also been supplying to insurgents in Iraq. This isn't the first time something like this has happened. As the Washington Post account notes: "International forces captured two smaller shipments of sophisticated roadside bombs believed to be from Iran in April and May in Afghanistan's southern Helmand province, a stronghold of the Taliban insurgency and one of the most violent areas in the country."
Hitler at Columbia
How many American soldiers perished because the bomb built by Georg Elser to kill Adolf Hitler in a beer hall in Munich in November 1939 failed to go off on time and the dictator lived to prosecute the war he had launched two months earlier?
The number is known to precision: 292,131, including 31,215 from the state of New York, where Columbia University is located. The total number of casualties in that war–U.S. and foreign, Axis and Allied, military and civilian alike–is considerably higher: perhaps as many as 72 million.
"Confronting Ideas" at Columbia
Regarding Columbia University President Lee Bollinger's invitation to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak this coming Monday on the Columbia campus, the Columbia Spectator today reports:
David Feith, CC '09 and editor of the Jewish affairs publication the Current, expressed his concern that there was a difference between refusing to suppress hateful speech and actively inviting and providing a platform for it. Bollinger responded that the invitation very well may serve to help controversial speakers, but that the negative is "far outweighed by the importance of confronting ideas and not shielding ourselves from the world as it is."
And what ideas will the Columbia community confront when it hears President Ahmadinejad of Iran? Denial of the Holocaust and pleas for the destruction of Israel. As Victor Davis Hanson writes on the Corner, "This is not a matter of free speech but of common decency and the most elemental common sense."
Asians in Classical Music
Anyone who has been to a classical concert recently, especially at a conservatory, will note the ever-increasing number of Asian musicians, what some call an "Asian Invasion." In 2006, of the nine new musicians hired by the New York Philharmonic, six were Asian. At the noted Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, fully three-quarters of the piano students are from Asia. A new study from Temple University Press, Musicians from a Different Shore, by Mari Yoshihara, analyzes the phenomenon.
Philadelphia Orchestra concertmaster David Kim recalls, during an interview transcribed in the book, that when he studied at Juilliard in the 1970's, "Eastern European and Jewish students were diminishing and Asians were just coming up." Kim adds: "Right now at Juilliard, it's like all Asian." Yoshihara asserts that in fact only 30 percent of Juilliard students today are Asian, yet the impression remains. Many Asian families seem willing to make any sacrifice in order to advance their offspring's studies. At ten, Kim made bi-weekly flights to Juilliard from his family's home in South Carolina, so he could study with legendary pedagogue Dorothy DeLay. Classical music enjoys great prestige among educated families in China, Japan, and Korea, akin to that routinely felt a century ago in bourgeois households in Middle and Eastern Europe.
Against the Boycott
The presidents of Harvard, Yale, and Brown, conspicuously absent from the original list of signatories, have since posted assurances that they join the almost 300 American college and university presidents who signed a statement earlier this month protesting the vote of Britain's University and College Union to impose a boycott against Israeli academic institutions. "Boycott Israeli Universities? Boycott Ours, Too!" read the American counter-declaration, composed by Columbia University's President Lee Bollinger. "[We] do not intend to draw distinctions between our mission and that of the universities you are seeking to punish."
Kristof's Sick Column
A few months ago, before Nicholas Kristof's appearance in the Tufts University Hillel's "Moral Voices" lecture series, a Tufts student asked him to define his own "guiding moral doctrine." The New York Times columnist was able to articulate only this in response: "I don't think I have any sort of, you know, particularly unusual or even sophisticated moral doctrine." Kristof proves this, abundantly, in his column today: "Cheney's Long-Lost Twin."
Kristof ponders: "Could Dick Cheney and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad be twins separated at birth?" The suggestion that Cheney and Ahmadinejad are "jingoistic twins" is fatuous, absurd on its face, whatever you may think of the Vice President. But the real damage that rhetoric of this kind does is to obscure the evil that Ahmadinejad represents. Suppose that the very worst accusations—cronyism, power-grabbing, even the subversion of the Constitution—leveled against Cheney by his fieriest critics were true. It's hard to see how they would rank alongside the actions of which Ahmadinejad makes no secret: plans for genocide, a millenarian nuclearization program, proud sponsorship of Hizballah, interference in Iraq, scoffing at the IAEA. (David Billet exposes more of Kristof's fatuities here.)
• When I was an undergraduate music student, there were two pieces of New York-related classical-music trivia guaranteed to reduce the most unruly class to stunned (if short-lived) silence. One was that Leonard Bernstein was listed in the Manhattan phone book, and the other was that Lorenzo Da Ponte was buried in Queens. Bernstein has since acquired a new number, but Da Ponte's bones can still be found in a common grave within the city limits of New York. From time to time this fact comes to the attention of a local newspaper editor, who thereupon commissions a feature story about the complicated life of the man who wrote the libretti for Don Giovanni, Le Nozze di Figaro and Così fan tutte.
I humbly confess that until last week, everything I knew about Lorenzo Da Ponte could easily have been crammed into the compass of a shortish feature story. Now, however, I know enough to fill a book. The book in question is Rodney Bolt's The Librettist of Venice: The Remarkable Life of Lorenzo Da Ponte, Mozart's Poet, Casanova's Friend, and Italian Opera's Impresario in America, a fully sourced biography that is nonetheless intended for the edification of a non-scholarly audience. Bolt is a director-turned-travel writer who has a lively style, a good eye for detail, and a fabulous story to tell, all of which add up to an exceedingly readable book.

Fox News president reportedly tried to get Petraeus to run for president
"It's never going to happen," Petraeus says in an audio recording
Topics: David Petraeus, Roger Ailes, 2012 Elections, Fox News, Republicans, Politics News
The Washington Post reports that Roger Ailes, the founder and current chairman of Fox News, tried and failed to get former CIA Director David Petraeus to run for president.
The Post obtained audio of a 90-minute conversation from the spring of 2011 between Petraeus, then commander of U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan, and Kathleen T. McFarland, a Fox News national security analyst and former Pentagon aide.
During the course of the conversation, McFarland says that she's there on behalf of Ailes, who suggests that Petraeus should not accept a position as CIA director, which President Obama was expected to offer him soon after. McFarland said: The "advice to you from Roger Ailes is … He says that if you're offered [JCS] chairman, take it. If you're offered anything else, don't take it; resign in six months and run for president."
The Post summarizes the conversation:
McFarland also said that Ailes — who had a decades-long career as a Republican political consultant, advising Richard M. Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush — might resign as head of Fox to run a Petraeus presidential campaign. At one point, McFarland and Petraeus spoke about the possibility that Rupert Murdoch, the head of News Corp., which owns Fox News, would "bankroll" the campaign.
"It's never going to happen," Petraeus says of running in the audio. "You know it's never going to happen. It really isn't."
"My wife would divorce me," he continues. "And I love my wife … We have a beautiful house."
Several months later, Petraeus accepted a position as CIA director, only to step down this past November amid revelations that he had an affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell.

Given that the hostname HSPHXMEXMB01 appears also in the message id and mime multipart separator either means the headers are valid or someone did an above average effort at faking them.
I called their general intake line, and asked to be transferred to someone in IT to report phishing from one their employees, and they instead transferred me to the employee in question(!!), who was rather embarassed, and said I was probably the third person today to contact her and let her know her computer was infected.She seemed sure it wasn't a virus, but it sounded like she was a rather typical, non-technical user, so I can only hope AZDHS is professional enough to be monitoring their own network.You would think it would be easy enough for local law enforcement to subpoena the email address listed as the POC for the scam and go from there, but what do I know... I guess Sheriff Joe has other, more important priorities right now.--Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
This is better in scams and phishbusters. Maybe MGD can take a crack at it.--* seek help if having trouble coping--Standard disclaimers apply.--
Not sure what there is to crack, I'm willing to bet the State of AZ has all sorts of nasty viruses flying around its network.--Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

The 5 divisions HP is most likely to sell
- Jon Xavier
- Technology Reporter- Silicon Valley Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Hewlett-Packard's latest yearly report included a new phrase that suggests the company might be looking to sell some of its underperforming assets.
"We also continue to evaluate the potential disposition of assets and businesses that may no longer help us meet our objectives," HP (NYSE:HPQ) wrote in its annual 10-K briefing to investors and the SEC.
Related: HP may sell off underperforming units
If HP were looking to sell, what might be on the block? CEO Meg Whitman and Co. are playing mum when it comes to specifics, but one need only look at HP's balance sheet to see what the real dogs are. Based on financial performance, here's the five units the company might want to get rid of.
Obviously, when we're talking about "not meeting objectives," nothing even comes close to Autonomy. HP was forced to take an $8 billion writedown on its $13 billion acquisition of Autonomy just a year after the deal went through. Fraud allegations on both sides aside, the fact remains that basically none of the synergies between the two companies that made the deal make sense have materialized, and HP hasn't been able to realize much revenue from the merger. Further, Autonomy is basically a hangover from the strategy of Leo Apotheker, who wanted to take the company in a completely different direction than current CEO Whitman.
There's just one problem, though: in order to make a sale, you need a buyer, and HP has already broken the cardinal rule of salesmanship: Never talk down your merchandise. After spending the past few months caterwauling about what poison the enterprise search business is, HP might find Autonomy to be a hard sell.

Twenty-five selected poems
Charles gives an overview of the book:
InfidelityCheated on my wife yesterday.
Short changed my employer too.
It wasn't the first time either.
Left work early, headed straight for a rendezvous.
The motor lodge perfectly situatedmidway between office and home.
Pulled into the lot, backeddirectly in front of room one-twenty
hiding my tag from street-side eyes.
I'm experienced at this.
Looked up, mirrored the doorand imagined the room beyond.
Dresser on the right, TV on top,bathroom straight ahead,
end tables sandwich a king-sized bed partially occupied,
clothes hastily thrown over a chair.
No sense waiting, reached into my attaché—for the key— to anticipated bliss.
Quickly opened to page twenty-two ofTaylor Mali's, What Learning Leaves.
Read "Like Lilly Like Wilson" for a fifth time.
Thirty minutes passed as one.
Stopped on page forty-five, slipped in the bookmark,
closed the paperback, stuffed it,well back under the passenger seat.
Hurriedly fired up the engine and sped homeward,
traveling a meager five miles over the limit.
No sense incurring a ticket, compoundingmy indiscretion and adding to the guilt.
With difficulty, ignored the cell phone's musical demand for action.
Was it the office? The wife? Powered it off.
Half-hour purloined from the world.
Worth every second but hopefully
this compulsion will not lead to obsessionthat wrecks my career,
ruins a joyful marriagebuilt upon foundations of honesty and trust.
Is there a twelve-step program for poetry addicts?
If so, pray it never comes to that for me.

By National Park Service policy, 100% of the funds collected at the Apostle Islands will stay at the Apostle Islands and be used for these kinds of projects. Fee revenue is used to restore services that have eroded and for repairs and improvements to campsites, trails, and docks; stabilization and restoration of historic buildings; improved signs and exhibits; educational programs, guided walks, hikes, and other popular visitor activities. After extensive public involvement in 2005-2006, new NPS recreational user fees were approved by the NPS national office and have been in effect at the Apostle Islands in 2007.
