And Yet... And Yet...
Do we really gain anything from the ceaseless profusion of data?
I should perhaps begin by saying that I am as big a fan of the Net and the Web and the whole expanding "information universe" as anyone you are likely to meet. I find myself online all the time, mining for data, merrily skipping from one site to the next, passing the time of day after day (and night after night) in scattershot dalliances (sampling this and sampling that in a virtual delirium of free association), deploying my trove of finds in ever more elaborate collages of discovery (or is it recovery?) of my own. And yet... and yet...
As a professional storyteller, I suffer the occasional compunction, a tug of misgiving about the whole existence of that vast cloud of data, as we've all now taken to calling it—its character, its purpose, its implications. For starters, that very word. Should such an exponentially compounding explosion of data even be likened to anything so comforting as a fluffy lamb-white "cloud"? Isn't it more like a churning volcanic eruption, a great seething spewing-forth of material - an upwelling vision so mesmerizingly beautiful in itself, granted, that we can hardly take our eyes off it (that is, perhaps, till the heat blast comes and sweeps us away)?
Isn't the cloud more like a churning volcanic eruption?My misgivings, though, are more than merely linguistic. There is as well, for example, the problem of the insubstantiality of that entire digital spew, its sheer desperate impermanence. Nothing in this world, of course, has ever been completely permanent; still, it seems that across the centuries the means by which we preserve our data have been becoming less and less so with each passing iteration. ("When it comes to permanence," as my friend Blaise Aguera y Arcas, the founding force behind the photo-stitching application Photosynth, is fond of saying, "the Rosetta Stone is the Rosetta Stone—and it's been all downhill since then.")
It's not just that hardware keeps getting replaced, such that yesterday's delivery devices are superannuated to the point where one no longer has equipment capable of decoding old cassettes, floppy discs, zip drives, or even those lovely vinyl records uselessly arrayed in the cupboard below your CD player (assuming, that is, that you still have a CD player). There's also the relentless "progress" of software. When the Y2K crisis was pending, there was barely anyone left who sufficiently understood how to program COBOL—old geezers had to be pulled from retirement to worry out code deposited just a few decades earlier. And don't even get me started about my WordPerfect files from less than 10 years ago.
Which, of course, is where the cloud comes in, or so its proponents assure us. No need to worry anymore about the grossly material question of equipment. The information will live on in multiple, continually upgraded domains. And the software? Why, that too will be continually upgraded. Only the data will remain consistent, an eternal form maintained within the roiling cloud.
And yet... Why should the cloud behave any differently than every other conceptual/technical breakthrough has so far? Consider, for example, the case of my friend Erin Hogan, who some years ago posted a marvelous piece about the paintings of Barnett Newman on a website called Artkrush. The other day, she wanted to refer back to the piece, so she went to the Artkrush site, but it had ceased to be. The original "draft" of her essay is on a hard drive from three computers back. The piece had migrated to a cloud of an altogether different order, and it lives (if at all) with the Choir Eternal. Can anyone doubt that similar sorts of problems will afflict anyone wanting to go back and review a favorite Kindle title five years from now? Who knows how long Amazon itself will continue to exist before it gets superceded by the next great killer-app store? Netscape, anyone?
But it's not just that—the transience, the temporal insubstantiality of it all. There's another kind of digital insubstantiality, an essential ghostliness to the digital data cloud, that nags at me as well.
Back when I was in college, in the early 1970s, I confronted an earlier version of this misgiving: the fallacy of the slide carousel. Our art history course had arrived at Mark Rothko, and as our professor rifled through a carousel of slides tracing the arc of the great Abstract Expressionist's entire trajectory, one could indeed see the colors in those paintings slowly congealing across the first half of Rothko's career into that signature vertical pile of four and three and then just two color-saturated diaphanous cloud-forms, hovering one atop the other, and how the colors continued transmuting over the decades, how they gradually grew darker and darker, starker and starker, finally arriving by the very end at that brooding black over a knife-edge white horizon: suicide. There, that was Rothko. Which was fine as far as it went, except that I couldn't help but think how if one had instead been confronted with the canvases themselves, one would have been forced to tend to them one at a time, and presently to one uniquely (there are days, on my museum walks, when I can hardly endure more than one, such is their commanding power). The canvases, as material objects, would have objected to such cavalier rifling.
(Some years later, I had occasion to meet another artist, Robert Irwin, who for the first several decades of his career forbade any photo documentation of his work at all, on the grounds that a photograph could capture everything the work was not about and nothing that it was—which is to say, it could approximate the image but never convey its presence.)
And this is a problem, a species of category confusion, that is exponentially aggravated on the Web. At least before each new lecture, someone had to hold the slides in his hands, awkwardly, momentarily fumblingly, so as to be able to reorder them into the carousel. Yet even that minimal trace of persistent objecthood is obviated on Google Images (notwithstanding all that service's other charms and conveniences).
In a similar vein, Adam Thompson, a digital designer, once commented on the way that "people who would never dream of shoplifting a CD from a music store give no thought to downloading entire albums" off the Web. Bracketing for a moment the question of the morality or lack thereof of such behavior (culture wants to be free, etc.), the thing I want to focus on here is that throwaway phrase "give no thought." Because it seems to me exactly right. The behavior is literally not worth a thought (data always tending toward the condition of weightlessness).
The opposite of such a posture toward the world would be one in which things mattered. As in: "What's the matter?" "Why does it matter?" "This stuff really matters to me." Matter as in mater (mother, the root as well of the word "material," and hence back to substantial, the opposite of insubstantial).
Another way of trying to get at what sometimes troubles me about this endlessly proliferating profusion of discrete bits of data is to compare the experience of encountering information, say, on the Web (still the most common and efficient portal into the cloud) with that of encountering it in books. For they provide two fundamentally different sorts of experiences. Books are centripetal, whereas the Web is centrifugal. Books draw you in, whereas Web pages hurl you forth and out (by way of all those irresistible links).
"The storm drives him irresistibly into the future, to which his back is turned."The Web, as we have seen, is immaterial (opening, as it now does, into a cloud). Books, in contrast, are not just substantialthey are substantial in a particular way: They have a spine, which in turn implies a pair of outstretched arms and an enfolding embrace, or at the very least a dance.
Books force you to enter into a kind of I-Thou relationship—approaching, as the poet Rilke once parsed matters, the "more human love" that "consists in the mutual guarding, bordering and saluting of two solitudes." The Web occasions a sort of frenzy of rebound, a swirling frottage with the many (albeit one that is almost solipsistically onanistic).
As a writer of articles and books, I go to great pains to pace my argument, choosing my words exactly and layering the progression of my argument, feathering in subtle rhymes and the like. And I don't appreciate it when somebody comes divebombing in from out of the cloud for a few choice phrases and, whiz-bang, is already gone. And nor should you, as a reader of articles and books, imagine that you are engaging anywhere near the full force of my or anyone else's argument when you come careering in and out like that.
And yet... and yet... Has there ever been a greater boon to a lover of books (and often the long out-of-print titles that are the very nectar of the passion) than the Web—AbeBooks and all the other used-bookstore cooperatives? As I say, when it comes to the utopian claims of digital data, I remain stoutly, adamantly of two minds.
Two minds whipped and countersawed by the increasingly frenzied passage of time. When I contemplate the great churning cloud, I'm reminded of a passage in Walter Benjamin's Illuminations, in which the sublime Weimar-era elegist takes to anatomizing a delicate drawing by his friend the artist Paul Klee of what he infers to be the Angel of History. "His face is turned towards the past," Benjamin surmises. "Where we see the appearance of a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe, which unceasingly piles rubble on top of rubble and hurls it before his feet. ... He would like to pause for a moment... to awaken the dead and to piece together what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing from Paradise, it has caught itself up in his wings and is so strong that the Angel can no longer close them. The storm drives him irresistibly into the future, to which his back is turned, while the rubble-heap before him grows sky-high. That which we call progress, is this storm."
That passage, in turn, has always reminded me of a story Hermine Wittgenstein tells in her memoir about a time when her brother, the great philosopher Ludwig, was preparing to give it all up to go teach elementary school in some backwater of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Couldn't he see, she demanded, what a waste such a bizarre resolve entailed? To which he shot back, "And you remind me of someone looking through a closed window unable to explain the strange movements of a passerby; unaware that a storm is raging outside and that the person is only with great effort keeping himself on his feet."
And you, fond reader, Thou to my I, how are you experiencing the traction nowadays? What, if any, purchase do you still have on solid ground?
Lawrence Weschler, director of the New York Institute for the Humanities at New York University, is the author of many books, including Everything That Rises: A Book of Convergences and, most recently, Uncanny Valley: Adventures in the Narrative.
A hammer is a tool and by itself it can build nothing.
A song written on a page, unsung, it just a piece of paper.
Sand on the beach is just grains of sand and if there are millions and billions grains of sand, they still are just grains of sand and by comparison could easily be bits of data stored in a computer.
Things and data have no value by themselves. It is the human invention and acknowledgment of things and how we humans interact with things and other humans, that bring meaning to life, to each other and to ourselves. It has always been and always will be about human relationships.
Lawrence Weschler has way too much encyclopedic knowledge. How can he deal with the real world of mental midgets? Doesn't he get fed up with knowing so much and having such a ridiculously ginormous vocabulary? At some point he's got to realize that life ends and all his extraneous knowledge will be wiped out when he's deceased. Just eat an ice cream cone and enjoy it. Stop overanalyzing everything. People think you're a freak.
Someone can just keep on jumping into clones, transfer their consciousness to another body, and live forever. How about transferring your mind into a robot? Maybe a Cylon or Transformer? By the time I'm in my old age, I'm sure we'll have some kind of crazy tech out there to do something like this.
The worst thing I see about information is there's too much and too little time to sort through it all and gather what I want (latest physic's experiments, aerospace technology...etc). Now cloud based is possibly just an easier step to controlling information and filtering it out there in cyberspace. Yet I find that if the people are knowledgeable enough about CISCO and Cloud-based programming in the future, we the people may have control of those e-books that hopefully won't get destroyed and forgotten followed by the paper-back copies in the physical world like Fahrenheit 451.
Cookiees453, I would rather have science discover youth-longevity and fill my veins with nano-swarms to keep me young and healthy, rather than transferring my mind into a clunky cast of metal. I see more of society in the far future (2045) merging with our technology than jumping into clones which may have a glitch and be considered unethical. If you were to inject bio-mechanical swarms, that were programmed to continuously maintain your DNA, it would technically be merging with technology discreetly.
Put that in me and send me to Sirius in a space pod that has a quantum computer so I can instantly transfer my consciousness back to earth into an android. That way every time I go to sleep on earth I wake up back in space. Truthfully if you all haven't noticed, I don't want to be another statistic and be buried into the ground like all of us have for millions of years. I want to fulfill my evolutionary destiny and take to the stars. Now that would be that ultimate happy ending for any book we should teach our future children.
" Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." Albert Einstein
Weschler, as a writer, posits a binary world composed of books ... and everything else. There are innumerable acts of creation beyond written books. Most of these will never see the light of day, let alone audiences (or interactive co-creators or whatever) if not for distribution via the Web and the Net. (The cloud is just a temporary phenomena while data memory catches up. Its drawbacks are already obvious including an end to data security absolutely.) Books may or may not survive in their current form as a particular method for sharing information. Sharing creative acts is not dependent on the outcome. There are plenty of creative forms (including many that are not considered "art," but that are artistic ranging from doodles to spreadsheets to wings of planes to landscaping on a massive scale, and millions more) that will continue to tell stories and permit those who experience them to interiorize the experience or share it.
More realistic problems include ubiquity -- data that is inescapable, therefore altering our perception as we have it; and plentitude, just too much of the stuff and no way to know what's good or bad or worth even worrying about in this fashion or susceptible to change even if we knew what needed changing. It's not the Devil you know but the one you don't who will get you with his pitchfork every time. The challenge of our times is to anticipate the future and be prepared for it, a contradiction since the future is unknowable. Where data will take us, and get us, is still to be determined, no matter how many supercomputer cycles you have to spend on the issue.
You lived a thousand of years. You amassed great things all around you and knowledge. Then in the dark of the night, a face you cannot see, sneaks into your bedroom window and hides in the shadows of your bedroom. His deep dark eyes in the darkness glow with slits watching, waiting. A slight little glair comes from the blade in his hand.
You finish you dinner and head to you bedroom. You ready yourself for bed, lie down and turn off the light.
In the quiet of the night, a slice is made. Your thousand year life now enters a eternal sleep of forever.
Why did this happen? No one knows why death comes, but it comes for all eventually.
Now, what happens to all your acquired knowledge, what value of it exists? What of tomorrow? Your essence is gone, you knowledge is gone; you possess no more actions of life.
Do you want to be immortal I ask you? Then it will be your life choices and actions and how you affect others that lives on and continues! As you live life, it will be your actions in how you are judge for you time spent on earth. And it will be you actions that will echo through out time!
@Grunt, wouldn't 1000 years of knowledge have given you the wisdom to lock and bar your windows?
What if I were to say to you that in the future, banks stored your body, that way there is an assurance you're safe, while your android body you control walks the streets and is expendable.
However the flaw now is the ability to break into the bank and just simply explode every body that thought they were safe in a "stasis-like" state. In reality, immortality is a hurdle to achieve, and the only way to minimize death is isolation from entropy, which is an impossible feet. But imagine all the years of life you could have had. The galaxies you had visited, the alien life you made friends with.
So I ask, imagine an alien meets king Solomon, just makes friends with him and leaves. Nearly 4,000 years go by before the alien returns to find his friends world has changed, but the alien had also left they're body and found a way to become energy like a 2001: A Space Odyssey David Bowman. So what was the real death? Friendship? The aliens body left behind? A mortal who was not gifted with technology and responsibility as his other? Or is it the vale of time evolving?
I'm just throwing out there that in hopefully 10,000 years time, if I could live that long, I would hope to never stay in a physical form, I would like to transcend. Because how can a thief in the night kill an omnipotent being everywhere and nowhere?
" Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." Albert Einstein
First dear, I have no desire to be ugly or gruesome. You not need to die soon or by a slice of knife. You may simply die by walking across the street to put a letter in your mail box and be run over by a chocolate milk truck. Well, if one must die, it may as well be smothered in chocolate.
We all die, eventually and I do believe you read that in my originally comment.
The point was what the value is after that.
Actions in life brings value ever lasting!
As I read on to your comments I feel you are gargling on chocolate and have pen in hand as you comment to me, in your dying words. Oh, I do hope you are not dying now. I do look forward to your commentary tomorrow. Enjoy the chocolate and sleep!
Night night!
@Cookiees453 I have ZERO doubt we will be able to transfer the contents of the mind to a computer or clone in the near future, but you never brought up conciseness.
I have near ABSOLUTE doubt they will ever be able to transfer that conciseness.
considering we still have about ZERO idea what it truly is.
Imagine you could transfer you mind to a clone. okay. so instead of transferring you mind, what about copying it.
so would you share 1 conciseness??? would you have two separate conciseness? if you say yes to the first one then they would be different concisenesses, yes?
well then they were different, then if you simply transferred you mind, it would still be a conciseness right? there for a different person, and your former conciseness would be dead.
many people including my self belive that conciseness is FAR more than the contents of our mind.
look at Carl Younge and his theroy of the collective un-conciseness. Something I find much truth behind. in my mind there is no doubt that all things are connected through collective un-conciseness. thought is energy and matter is energy. scientist have no idea if this connectin is part of another diemines hinted in string theroy, or a new branch of phycics we have not even begun to touch upon. I think it will be a VERY long way until we can pass our conciseness onto a new body or PC.
but I share you diseare and have little hope in it.
they will have longevity treatments long before clones. no reason why our brain can live in on in a robotic body. or a body that has had its aging reversed.

The Department of Homeland Security was commended by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius this week for opening a center devoted to ensuring the safety of foods imported to the United States. The Commercial Targeting and Analysis Center (CTAC) for Import Safety is operating under the direction of Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Located in Washington, D.C., the import safety CTAC is one of CBP's six commercial targeting centers in the United States. It will specifically target shipments of imported cargo, including food, for possible safety violations.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and other partnering government agencies, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Consumer Product Safety Commission, will provide on-site expertise at the center.
FSIS will extend its enforcement efforts to target ineligible imports and investigate suspicious shipments based on manifest information filed prior to the arrival of goods at U.S. ports, as part of its collaboration with CBP.

Anti-Muslim actions rise in UK over slain soldier
Sunday - 5/26/2013, 7:16am  ET
Associated Press
LONDON (AP) -- Police, politicians and activists in Britain are warning of rising anti-Muslim sentiment following the slaughter of an off-duty British soldier in a London street, an apparent act of Islamic extremism that has horrified the nation.
Metropolitan Police investigating the killing of Lee Rigby, a 25-year-old soldier who was run over by attackers then butchered by knives, arrested three more men in the murder investigation Saturday. Stun guns were used on two of the three men, aged 24 and 28, police said.
The latest arrests came as an estimated 1,500 members of an extremist right-wing group called the English Defense League marched in the northern English city of Newcastle, chanting Rigby's name. In the southern English city of Portsmouth, police arrested two men for a racially motivated assault as hundreds of demonstrators gathered near one mosque, while several more people were detained for alleged racist offenses elsewhere.
The two men suspected of killing the soldier, Michael Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22, remained under armed guard in separate London hospitals after police shot them at the scene. Police have not officially named the suspects because they have not been charged, but British officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the investigation, have confirmed their names to The Associated Press.
Wednesday's murder in southeast London's Woolwich area shocked the nation partly because the horrific scenes were recorded on witnesses' cellphones, and a video picked up by British media showed one of the two suspects, his hands bloodied, making political statements and warning of further violence as the soldier lay on the ground behind him.
Counter-terrorism police also are questioning a friend of Adebolajo who was arrested Friday night immediately after he gave BBC Television an interview detailing why he thought Adebolajo may have become radicalized.
Metropolitan Police said the friend, identified by the BBC as 31-year-old Abu Nusaybah, was wanted himself on suspicion of "the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism." The force declined to elaborate.
In his BBC interview, Nusaybah said he knew Adebolajo as a moderate Islam convert. He said he thought Adebolajo's behavior changed after a trip to Kenya last year, and alleged that Britain's MI5 domestic spy agency tried to recruit him upon his return six months ago.
Rigby's killing -- and Adebolajo's apparent link to Islamic extremism -- has stirred anti-Muslim backlashes across Britain. Police said they arrested three people on suspicion of posting racist tweets ahead of the English Defense League march, and further detained 24 others before and during the protest on suspicion of public drunkenness, vandalism and distributing racist literature. One group of marchers carried a sign that read "Taliban Hunting Club."
About 350 counterdemonstrators who called themselves Newcastle Unites shouted abuse at the marchers, including "Nazi scum off our streets!" The region's Northumbria Police said riot police prevented any direct clashes between the opposed groups.
Meanwhile, the far-right British National Party announced it would rally supporters next weekend on the spot where the young soldier was killed.
"Has the horror of Woolwich woken you up too? ... Join the British resistance," British National Party leader Nick Griffin said in a video address Saturday to supporters announcing his plans for a "Stand Up to Muslim Terror" rally at the scene of the crime, where thousands already have left floral bouquets paying tribute to the soldier.
A group that campaigns against extremism, Faith Matters, said it has received reports of around 150 anti-Muslim hate crimes across Britain since the soldier was killed Wednesday, more than 10 times the usual rate. Its director, Fiyaz Mughal, said he was particularly concerned by how geographically widespread the actions, including street fights and the vandalism of mosques, had become.
"Some of them are quite aggressive, very focused, very aggressive attacks ... against institutions or places where Muslims congregate," he said.
Questions abound over what could have led the two men to attack Rigby, a drummer and machine-gunner who had served in Afghanistan and was off-duty when he was walking near his barracks. Nusaybah's interview with the BBC offered one possible narrative. He said Adebolajo became withdrawn after he allegedly suffered abuse by Kenyan security forces during interrogation in prison there.
"Although that change wasn't necessarily one that became overt, aggressive or anything like that, he became ... less talkative. He wasn't his bubbly self," Nusaybah told the BBC.
He said MI5 agents approached Adebolajo after he returned to Britain and initially asked him if he had met specific Muslim militants, then asked Adebolajo if he was willing to act as an informer.

What The Ethics Commission Thinks It Has On Miami State Representative Erik Fresen
Questions are arising after a critical examination of State Rep. Erik Fresen's finances by the Florida Ethics Commission.
The panel says the Miami Republican misstated his debts and income for three years beginning in 2008 and it must now decide whether the discrepancies amount to campaign law violations.
Fresen defends himself vigorously in the Miami Herald's account of the commission's findings. He calls the allegations, which are related to a complicated foreclosure lawsuit, "a textbook political attack" orchestrated by the campaign of Amory Bodin, whom Fresen defeated to win re-election last month.
Fresen's financial disclosure statements are posted on the watchdog website of Integrity Florida.
From Herald reporter Mary Ellen Klas' unpacking of Fresen's mortgage predicament:
Prior to the Republican primary in August, the Herald reported that a mortgage company filed suit against Fresen after he failed to make payments in May 2008.
Fresen says the lender tried to double-bill him for $14,000 in property taxes on the house, taxes he said he paid at closing when he bought the house in 2006. (The home was actually purchased by Fresen's mother, who transferred the deed to Fresen and his wife a month later, records show.) He says the bank sued after he refused to pay the extra amount.
"They would not accept anything but the total amount," said Fresen, who calls the lawsuit a "legal nightmare." Fresen said in court papers that he tried to "cure" the default before the foreclosure suit was filed in 2008.
Not all of Fresen's financial issues are related to the foreclosure. He's also fighting a $10,000 lien on the property that resulted from code enforcement action related to an allegedly un-permitted fence around his swimming pool.
Fresen claims a net worth of $357,000.

"The Situation"
ive got a smittybuilt on my s10.. it's a bit slow but gets the job done.. also the remote is junk ! I just had my 3rd one sent to me cause the rocker switches keep sticking would be easy enough just to replace the switch itself which i think ill do when this one F's up.. and ive heard that the solenoids like to shit out which is 70 bux to replace it.. i fried mine on accident when the controller wire got nicked by the winch cable but they sent me a new one free of charge.. all in all their customer service is the best ive seen around.. but their winch could use some improvements.. but for the price it's like a sore weiner "you can't beat it"

^^No wonder you couldn't pull my ass out of that mudpit with the winch. Wasn't a WARN. (thanks again).
So I don't hijack the thread with my non-sense and ruin the chances of getting pulled out...I've heard just about all of the above. Only other thing I can add is the bolt's shipped with Smittybilt's are crap and rust within a week, so you'll need to go and buy a few grade 8's at ACE. Great for the occasional off roader. |

Nasser became the first Qatari-born athlete to win an Olympic medal when he finished third in the men's skeet shooting competition at the 2012 London Games. Despite his Olympic success Nasser still remains better known around the globe for his exploits as a rally driver. In 2008 he switched his focus to cross-country rallying and then signed with Volkswagen to compete in the 2010 Dakar Rally, finishing the race in second place behind VW team-mate Carlos Sainz.

Game Info: 7:05 PM PT; TV - Fox Sports West; Radio - KLAA 830 AM
Rain, rain go away. Let the Angels get this game in without delay.
Seriously, how is an AL West team subjected to so much lousy weather on such a regular basis? Looking at the weather report, it seem pretty unlikely that this game is even going to happen tonight. If it does, this will no doubt mean another night of a soggy field and sloppy play. Excuse me if I fail to sound excited.

South Sudan needs to draw up a constitution, complete an oil pipeline through Uganda and install an education system that teaches English to everyone for a shot at prosperity.
The Economist welcomes your views. Please stay on topic and be respectful of other readers. Review our comments policy.
South Sudan needs to draw up a constitution, complete an oil pipeline through Uganda and install an education system that teaches English to everyone for a shot at prosperity.
I am so happy that South Sudan has at last arrived where it has its own sovereignty.
Having spent nearly two whole years constructing the roads linking Uganda with Juba its new capital, and also the roads to Rumbek and the construction of several runways for the WFP, there were many times that I feared that these new projects would be destroyed by the Government of Sudan if the South would choose the leave the whole of Sudan.
I found it a little paradoxical the Omar Bashir would be present at the final hand over sitting alongside Banki Moon and Salva Kir at the ceramony celebrating the newly founded state, especially as the UN have imposed a war crimes inditement on Bashir.
I also noted that William Hague was there as well and was very cautious about what his feeling were concerning the new nation and its future.
I hope that the other attending heads of state offered Mr. Bashir their thanks as well as wishing South Sudan good fortune at the party.
The UN and the whole world can be thankful that Bashir did keep to his word during the CPA period, and tried to honour the peace during the post war conflict.
It gave consultants like me space and time to complete some of the tasks that were before us without hindrance.
Surely the UN should take this Bashir peace move into account with its future dealings with Mr. Bashir, and offer Mr. Bashir its thanks for keeping his side of the deal during the CPA.
Instead of beating Mr. Bashir over the head for some of his more significant errors, perhaps we should use a more concilliatory approach, and applaud and encourage his good moves.
Remember Mr. Bashir has released some 40% of his country to his past time enemies, he is also faced with sorting out his boundaries in the Oil rich Abei area...............we all know how tough this independence is going to be for the South, but what about the GOS?
The UN must now offer its peaceful objectives to both sides to be fair to everyone, and be 'swift to bless and slow to chide' in these future times.
Mr. Hague I spent two of the best years of my life in South Sudan, living with and working next to some of the finest and bravest people, who have suffered some of the worst attrocities that man could experience.
Two hundred or so years ago millions of people from the area were enslaved and stolen from this country.
The population has had no time for peace to recover from this shameful time.
Many South Sudanese have died during the recent conflict (about 1.5 million) but even worse were the 4 Million who were displaced and had to settle in camps in other countries whilst this 30 year war raged.
On top of this they have had to put up with the insurgents the LRA who defected from Uganda and violated the war damaged south with unspeakable violence.
Many people have died as a consequence of landmines, the remnants of war where other governments have gained financially from the sale of these lethal objects.
Despite all these problems I think that the South Sudanese have the ingredients and capacity to govern themselves as long as they have the opportunity to do so.
I am much more upbeat than most commentators, South Sudan is a great country with great and ancient Nuban people. They may have suffered in recent years but like their ancestors did, they will get through this as long as they are given the chance and peace prevails.
Now that the erstwhile largest country in Africa has been split along the North-South divide, the next one should be the most populous country in Africa that should be divided along the North-South divide: Nigeria. The boundaries, established by a handful of European nations rather arbitrarily, need to be readjusted along more natural lines. Meaning, along lines that the groups of peoples had had for many centuries before the Europeans thought it good fun to carve up the continent - and group together some peoples who have nothing in common, besides being on the same continent.
Good luck to all of them, especially to the first new one: South Sudan. That part of Africa was always contentious. See the Fashoda Incident.
That must have been some Juba-lation in the new capital - with all those brand new flags...

A brand new proposal has been submitted to the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) in the hopes that another major event can be staged on the grounds of the 2008 Pemberton Festival in the future.
Mayor Jordan Sturdy said he's hopeful the ALC will view the new proposal favourably, as event producers continue to express interest in using the festival site for summer 2013.
"We would very much like to see that happen," said Pemberton Mayor Jordan Sturdy. "We feel confident with the options we have in front of us (and) that we could hold an event that would rival the Pemberton Festival.
"But, it's all based on getting approvals from the Agricultural Land Commission."
The Village of Pemberton and Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) are looking for a new memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the ALC on the festival site that would allow for an event producer of the jurisdictions' choosing to hold a major gathering on the grounds. The current MOU in place between the three parties lists Live Nation, promoters of the 2008 festival, as the sole event producer permitted to hold any events on the land.
The village and SLRD sought an amendment to the existing MOU last year that would have changed the wording to what's proposed in the new MOU and kept Pemberton's options open for hosting a similar festival.
The ALC advised at that time that it would not consider an amendment, stating that it had "no confidence that the interests of agriculture would be served" by allowing a different producer.
"The recommendation was that they weren't supportive of amending the MOU, but would entertain a new application," Sturdy explained Tuesday (Oct. 9). "Their concern seemed to revolve around the idea that Live Nation has the pockets required to reclaim the site if something untoward happened.
"But, I have every confidence that this community … is quite capable of accomplishing the same thing with that MOU, without listing a particular producer specifically."
Sturdy said the MOU proposal was put forward this summer, and it's now just a matter of it coming to the top of the ALC's list of submissions for consideration. Though it's unclear when a ruling might be made available, Sturdy is hopeful to receive one soon.
"Evidently, they have been working through applications that have been received as far back as February, so we understand that we're near close to the top of the pile," Sturdy said he learned during meetings with ALC officials in Victoria last month.
The ALC's structure has also shifted since the last time the MOU was brought up in discussion, as the commission now has one panel overseeing decisions province-wide as opposed to the previous model of regional panels.
The 2008 festival lineup — which featured both chart-topping artists like Jay-Z, Coldplay and Tom Petty; and lesser-known but critically-acclaimed performers such as Vampire Weekend, My Morning Jacket and Interpol — drew approximately 40,000 people, but the event hasn't returned since.
"I have no indication that they're interested in coming back for 2013, and we would have hoped to hear from them by now," Sturdy said of Live Nation. "I'd like nothing better than for Live Nation to come back."
Based on the challenges Live Nation said it faced in 2008, that doesn't seem likely in the near future.
In a letter to Pemberton council in October 2011, company officials said the 2008 festival required "the most expensive policing cost for Live Nation for any event we have produced globally." It also pointed to B.C.'s liquor laws — limiting sale of alcohol to beer garden-style areas — and infrastructure costs as areas of concern.

SALT LAKE CITY — The growing popularity of the semi-annual Outdoor Retailers Show may mean it has to leave Utah.
In order to comprehensively discuss the issues associated with the shows staying in Salt Lake City or moving to another city, the trade show owners and the Outdoor Industry Association have set up a website where registered participants of the shows (winter and summer) can discuss the pros and cons of all options. The shows offer manufacturers, buyers and retail business owners the chance to collaborate and network.
It is an unusual trade show because it attracts such a diverse group of businesses.
"It's a cultural phenomenon in a way," said OR show director Kenji Haroutunian. "It's a lot of different industries playing together in the same sandbox."
Salt Lake City has hosted the semi-annual trade show that is responsible for millions of dollars in economic impact since 1996. The Salt Palace was expanded about five years ago, in large part, to accommodate the OR shows' growth. While local county officials have said they don't see expanding the Salt Palace again, they have tried to work with private developers to come up with other options.
But it isn't just a lack of exhibit and meeting space that has OR show attendees troubled.
"It's not just the space in the hall," said Haroutunian. "It's the hotel room situation. We have people staying in Sandy, Davis, Park City … We have a 500-room block in Park City and that's a 35-40 minute drive."
Most of those attending trade shows expect to be able to walk from hotel rooms to exhibits and meetings.
Losing the OR shows would be a huge blow to Utah's economy as the winter and summer events attract more than 43,000 visitors annually and bring about $40 million to the local economy. The shows have also attracted businesses and developed those who choose Utah as a base because of the outdoor culture.
Those who attend love the Salt Lake stop because organizers are able to utilize Utah's natural outdoor playground to demonstrate new products in a hands-on environment. Ski resorts and lakes or reservoirs are just 30 minutes from downtown and retailers can allow buyers to try products in an effort to convince them to carry them in their stores or on their websites. The proximity to wilderness has also allowed the kind of retreat, meetings and networking that might not be possible in bigger cities that are farther from outdoor recreation opportunities.
"Salt Lake City has been a great venue because of its natural recreation resources," Haroutunian said. "There's world-class skiing, world-class climbing, world-class fishing, world-class trail running … The culture is completely consistent with what the culture of the show is."
The website where organizers are discussing the issues associated with growth is www.outdoorretailer.com/collective-voice. Other venues being discussed on the website include the Colorado Convention Center (which is not currently available in the winter), Sands Expo and Convention Center (Las Vegas, Nev.), Las Vegas Convention Center, Mandalay Bay Convention Center (Las Vegas), Orange County Convention Center (Orlando, Fla.), and the Anaheim (Calif.) Convention Center.
Haroutunian said event organizers hope to collect as much information and as many ideas as possible, which they will then compile into a survey that will be distributed to registered attendees. The idea is to explore as many options as possible and be as creative as possible in coming up with solutions.
"Everything is on the table," he said. "What it takes not to move (from Utah) needs to be spelled out."
Participants are also being asked whether or not the show should even continue to grow.

Actress Kathy Bates was born on June 28, 1948, in Memphis, Tennessee. Until the 1990s, she had only minor parts in television series and lackluster films. But with the critical and popular success of Misery, her film career hit an upswing. Her success in Misery was matched by her role in Fried Green Tomatoes. She has also had prominent roles in Dolores Claiborne, Diabolique, Titanic, The Waterboy and Primary Colors.
"I was never an ingenue; I've always just been a character actor."
Early Life and Career
Born Kathleen Doyle Bates on June 28, 1948, in Memphis, Tennessee, Kathy Bates has enjoyed a long and successful career as an actress. She initially wanted to study English while at Southern Methodist University, but soon switched her major to theater. After graduating from the school in 1970, Bates moved to New York City. There, she worked a number of jobs to make ends meet, including stints as a cashier at New York City's Museum of Modern Art and a singing waitress in a Catskill resort.
Bates made her film debut in Milos Foreman's Taking Off (1971), playing a minor role. She eventually established herself as a stage actress, finding success with the off-Broadway play Vanities in the mid-1970s. In 1980, Bates made her way to Broadway for the first time in the short-lived Goodbye, Fidel.
Three years later, Bates distinguished herself in Marsha Norman's 'Night Mother. She played a woman who discusses her desire to commit suicide with her mother in the play, for which she earned a Tony nomination. Bates also played Lenny McGrath in Beth Henley's Pulitzer Prize-winning play Crimes of the Heart—a role that went to Diane Keaton for the 1986 film adaptation. In 1987, she gave another critically acclaimed performance as the abused waitress Frankie in Terence McNally's off-Broadway play Frankie and Johnny at the Clair de Lune. Bates won a prestigious Obie award for her work in the production.
Big-Screen Success
After minor parts on such lackluster films like Straight Time (1978) and Arthur 2: On the Rocks (1988), Kathy Bates had a career breakthrough with the 1990 Stephen King adaptation Misery, in which she plays a crazed fan of a romance author (James Caan). Her character rescues the author after an accident near her home and then resorts to brutal measures to get the author to rewrite his latest work. Bates won an Academy Award for her gripping portrayal of a lonely, desperate and obsessive woman.
Bates soon followed up that success with her comic turn in Fried Green Tomatoes (1992), which earned her a Golden Globe Award. Over the few next years, she was a hot streak, landing prominent roles in Dolores Claiborne (1994), Diabolique (1996), Titanic (1997) and The Waterboy (1998). Her work in the political satire Primary Colors (1998) earned her an Academy Award nomination.
Bates continued to enjoy some success on the big screen. She appeared in Bruno (2000) with Gary Sinise and Shirley MacLaine (who also directed the film). In the 2002 drama About Schmidt, Bates gave an Academy Award-nominated performance opposite Jack Nicholson.

Navigators say GOP lawmakers' information requests are 'shocking'
Kaiser Health News, September 6, 2013
Organizations that received the latest round of health law navigator grants say last week's letter from House Republicans could have a chilling effect on efforts to hire and train outreach workers to sign up Americans for health insurance by Oct. 1, the opening day for new online insurance marketplaces. The letters were signed by 15 Republican members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and requested that the organizations provide extensive new documents about their participation in the program and schedule a congressional briefing by Sept. 13.

The [International Committee of the Red Cross] visited over 8,500 detainees in approximately 60 places of detention between March and December 2011. The majority of detainees are accused of being Gaddafi loyalists and include a large number of sub-Saharan African nationals. The lack of oversight by the central authorities creates an environment conducive to torture and ill-treatment. My staff have received alarming reports that this is happening in places of detention that they have visited.
Allegations of war crimes and human rights violations have been widespread in the aftermath of the Libyan conflict [JURIST backgrounder]. Earlier this month Middle East rights groups alleged human rights violations [JURIST report] and that all parties involved, including the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) [official website], committed acts ranging from use of excessive force against protesters to cruel and inhuman treatment of prisoners during detention. They also urged support to the Libyan authorities in the implementation of section 12 of the UN Security Council Resolution 2009 [text in PDF]. In September 2011, the Libyan NTC vowed to investigate allegations of human rights after Amnesty International (AI) [advocacy website] published a report [JURIST report] alleging that both sides of the Libya conflict are responsible for human rights abuses and warning the NTC to act quickly to investigate these allegations. In August, Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) [advocacy website] reported [text, PDF] Libyan troops used children as human shields [JURIST report] to deter attacks by NATO. That same month, the Libyan Prime Minister Al Baghdad Ali Al-Mahmoudi requested that the UN create a "high-level commission" to investigate alleged human rights abuses [JURIST report] by NATO.
