Grumpy Old Man: Undone deal
04/10/2014 14:58
It's time for us to admit that we certainly gave the Palestinians an opening to go nuts.

The phases were seen as ways to build confidence, especially for a scenario in which one side is asked to give up important tangible assets in return for mere promises. For Israelis, the method could be traced back to Egypt – the post-Yom Kippur War period and into the mid-1970s, and the Camp David Accords and peace treaty later in the decade.
Give and see what happens. If it goes well, give again. It's all a matter of building enough confidence to be able to trust the other side.
Start, of course, with the little stuff.
TO MANY people, releasing terrorists, even one, is not "little stuff." To me, it's a pretty big deal, almost as big as the matter of final borders. As far as I'm concerned, as part of a peace process you start letting imprisoned terrorists go only once things have moved forward enough to make you reasonably confident that the ultimate goal is attainable.
They're not hostages – you put and keep them behind bars because terror is appallingly wrong and not only must its perpetrators be severely punished, it must be seen by one and all that they are severely punished.
There's also the matter of recidivism.
Worse, going easy on terrorists encourages others to become terrorists. Kill an Israeli and go to prison, knowing you'll be housed, fed and able to improve your Hebrew and even get a college degree. Your family will receive a Palestinian Authority stipend for the duration. And once there's some light at the end of the peace tunnel (or your compatriots have kidnapped another Israeli to use as a bargaining chip for your release), there's a good chance you'll be freed and welcomed with a wild homecoming and a tidy pension for life. Not bad at all.
So it raised the ire of many last July when Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu yielded to US demands that, as an inducement to get the Palestinians back to the peace table for the first time in some three years, he release over 100 security prisoners jailed prior to the 1993 Oslo Accords. Why release terrorists, many asked, instead of acceding to another key Palestinian demand, this one for a building freeze in West Bank settlements? That kind of inducement can be canceled and even reversed if things go wrong. It will be a lot harder, if not impossible, to round up released prisoners.
As I wrote in these pages early last August: "In the open letter Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's office released last Saturday evening to justify Netanyahu's stand on a prisoner release, the prime minister did not sound too optimistic. He said that one reason it was 'important' to return to talks was 'to exhaust the chances of ending the conflict with the Palestinians' – not to try to achieve peace or somehow obtain a modicum of momentum for the process to continue, or something else sounding even vaguely hopeful or sincere… If that's his approach to the peace process, why do something so permanent?" Worse, there was a yawning gap in expectations as to just whom to release. The Palestinians demanded that some of the freed prisoners be Arabs with Israeli citizenship.
Israel said no way – the fate of these prisoners was a matter of national sovereignty in which no one can tell us what to do.
But the Americans seemed anxious to get the sides talking again, so the matter was swept under the rug, apparently in a nod by Secretary of State John Kerry to one of his predecessors, Henry Kissinger, who was a big believer in something he liked to call "constructive ambiguity." Let the chips fall later where they may, according to this school of thought – for now, the sides were talking again.
Needless to say, it doesn't seem like much, if anything, was accomplished by the sides in the past eight months – not that much of anything was expected, to judge by the way everyone responded to the renewed contacts. Yet when the time came for the fourth of four prisoner releases on March 29, one month before the end of the time designated for talks, Israel balked. It was reported that Netanyahu told Likud cabinet ministers the next day that he would not go ahead "without a clear benefit for Israel in return."
Benefit? I'd like to see something along those lines, too, but the "benefit," as with the three previous prisoner releases, was in getting the Palestinians back to the negotiating table. No more, no less. That was what Netanyahu, back in July, agreed to – erringly, in my opinion: a total of 104 prisoners to be freed at four predetermined periods of time, 26 prisoners per release, so that the talks would resume at least until the end of April 2014.
Of course after he balked, plenty of people came to Netanyahu's defense, citing the Palestinians' nonstop trash talk about unilateral statehood, but especially their gall in having welcomed home the first 78 prisoners the way they did. Yet did anyone among us – hands on hearts, please – really think those prisoners would return to empty, silent streets? This is the way the Palestinians do it, whether we like it or not. Release prisoners and there are fireworks and fantasias, music and dancing, ecstatic crowds reveling into the night. It burns me, too. But subdued receptions were not part of the deal.
Peace talks were, even if they led to nothing.
Peace talks and prisoner releases.
Testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Tuesday, Kerry dejectedly pointed to Israel's very public (no, let's call it loud) decision to issue tenders for 700 housing units in Gilo, a Jerusalem neighborhood over the Green Line, as the breaking point.
"The prisoners were not released by Israel on the day they were supposed to be released and then another day passed and another day, and then 700 units were approved in Jerusalem and then poof – that was sort of the moment," he told the senators.
Notice, though, where he started the narrative. Clearly, that balk on the prisoners got his and everyone's attention.
AS THIS is being written, the sides seem at least vaguely aware that things have gotten out of control, something that can be good for no one save, perhaps, Hamas and the rejectionists. If second thoughts result in anything, it should be to turn the whole misadventure into a learning experience.
For us it should be that deals are meant to be kept. Either that or don't make them.
Let us keep in mind that one of the excuses we hear most often from opponents of the peace process is that the agreements we make with the Arabs are not worth the paper they're written on. The reasons usually given are that Arab regimes change and Arab alliances change, and even that Arabs, owing to their culture or religion, can lie if they deem it expedient, especially when dealing with non-Arabs or non-Muslims.
We say this derisively, the way we used to highlight our democratic way of life by pointing at the Arabs and sneering that they change their governments through the barrel of a gun.
Now that we have a prime minister in the ground thanks to a bullet in the back, we can't do that anymore. The last thing we need to hear right now is that we can no longer beg out of deals by complaining it's the other side that can't be trusted.
As much as we question – justifiably – our adversaries' honesty and sincerity, we have to admit that this time we certainly gave them an opening to go nuts.

Health hotline: Treatment varies for arthritis
News stories are filled with dire projections of future illness and disease, courtesy of the aging of baby boomers. Nowhere is the prediction more pronounced than in the realm of arthritis, which comes in various forms.
During Saturday's Deseret Morning News/Intermountain Healthcare Hotline from 10 a.m. to noon, LDS Hospital rheumatologists Dr. Sean McMillan and Dr. Don Stromquist will take phoned-in questions about arthritis, from self-help to effective treatments and managing pain.
The most common form is osteoarthritis, which Stromquist calls a disease of "wear and tear." Cartilage breaks down, causing increased pain and difficulty with mobility of the joints.
The other major category of arthritis is inflammatory and results from your immune system attacking your body. The largest one in that group is rheumatoid arthritis. While it's less common than osteoarthritis, it's more serious, he said. It's also more treatable. Nothing stops the advance of osteoarthritis, which may eventually lead to the need to replace joints, including hips, knees, elbows and shoulders, among others.
The chance of having osteoarthritis increases with age. Unfortunately, there's no cure and there are also no medications that effectively prevent progression. Instead, McMillan said, care focuses on getting symptoms under control and maintaining joint function.
Depending on which joint is affected, changes may prevent further injury. For the knees and hips, even moderate weight loss reduces the stress on the joint. Patients with osteoarthritis are also steered away from high-impact activities, McMillan said, although exercise is important. A patient may be told to try swimming or walking, for instance.
"It's important to stay fit and toned. There's a tendency when it hurts to lay off things, but when you do, the muscles atrophy and it becomes weak around the joint," McMillan said. "That puts more load on the joint." Losing as little as 10 pounds takes a 30-pound load off the knees and 60 off the ankles. And better-toned muscles take up the strain and load.
For osteoarthritis in the hands, treatment may include physiotherapy or occupational therapy to keep hands mobile and maintain range of motion. Not losing the ability to grip and pinch is important. Some people get relief from contrast baths, alternating cold and warm water. Stretching seems to help.
In some cases, surgery may be needed. "We change the existing structure, but do as little as necessary," he said.
Osteoarthritis affects people differently and progresses at different rates.
McMillan and Stromquist are often asked about two dietary supplements, glucosamine and chondroitin. McMillan said scientific studies for the most part have not been done or, in the case of blinded studies where patients didn't know whether they got a placebo or the supplement, they have not found that taking something makes a big difference.
"That doesn't mean that, for individuals, it's unhelpful. If you stumble across something that seems to work and it doesn't cause harm, there's no reason not to try it," he said. But make sure, he added, that it doesn't interfere with medications or cause other problems.
Superficial joints like those in the hands and knees may also respond to topical treatments.
Or patients may be given injections, either of anti-inflammatories or something that mimics joint fluid. Taking something like Tylenol to control pain prophylactically helps, as well. More severe cases may require low-dose narcotics, and that can escalate to prescription anti-inflammatory drugs, clear to opioids like OxyContin.The end stage, McMillan said, is joint replacement surgery. The good news with prosthetic joints is they're lasting longer than they used to. Still, he said he looks forward to a day when they won't be needed.

Dual Link DVI 05/13/2010
This review is from: Rosewill 15ft.DVI-I (24+5) Male to DVI-I (24+5) Male Digital Dual Link Cable w/ Ferrites Cores, Model RCW-904
It works for my purpose. Its flexible thank goodness!
However this a Dual Link wire, not a regular DVI cable like the one that came with my monitor, if your video card or your monitor does not support Dual Link DVI you may need an adapter, or get a regular DVI cable, this cable is twice the thickness of my original cable.
Other Thoughts:
Unfortunately I would have rather had a regular DVI cable as to this Dual Link cable, as I experienced some problems until I figured out this was not a regular DVI cable.

What does a typical PhD schedule look like?
April 14, 2012
What does a typical social sciences PhD's work schedule look like?
I'm a single mom who's considering doing a PhD. I have been trying to find out what a "work week" looks like for a PhD student, but haven't had much luck. I can't figure out how much time is spent in class and teaching - activities where you must be physically present - and how much is spent where I could be working from home. (Kids are in school.) In fact, I can't find out how many hours I would be investing in the experience overall, let alone on or off campus. The only programs that seem open to talking about that sort of thing are education, counselling and nursing, where there are lots of women, but I'm not interested in any of those subjects.
FWIW, I have a ton of research/writing and teaching experience and, though it's been a few years since undergrad and my masters, I was usually at or near the top of my class. I'm a very fast reader and writer - I finished the verbal section of a graduate admissions test in half the allotted time and scored in the top percentiles. I share that to indicate that I'm not someone who usually gets bogged down in the main pursuits of school. I've been out of the academic loop for a while, but people continue to suggest to me that I should look at doing a PhD and it's always been in the back of my mind.
I'm not sure how to get this information without sounding like I'm wanting to slack off, which is not my intent at all. I'm just trying to understand the impact on my family and whether it's something I would even want to do. I'm not looking to pursue a tenure-track position with the PhD, so jobs for grads and all that are not a big interest for me. I am mainly interested in what my life would look like as a student - so that I can see what my kids' lives would look like. For example, would picking them up at 3pm some days of the week be completely out of the question?

Grad school is at least a 40 hr/week job, and for most people that is closer to 60. Classes that you take make up a relatively small amount of that (6-8 hrs/week in class for the first 2 years, maybe). Depending on your funding, you may be spending another 3-8 hours per week teaching. Both teaching and taking classes can of course require a lot of out of class time (2-3 hrs/week for every hour spent taking or teaching a class, most of which you could probably do at home). You may have to keep office hours for your students as well.
However, the heart of any PhD program is research. Research can and will expand to fill all remaining time. Depending on what social science, you may need hours per week to do surveys or interviews, plus a likely need to travel for those or for access to libraries or other records.
And then there is all the time that you will spend reading and writing, which could conceivably be done at home.
None of this is to discourage you. I survived grad school, and you can, too. But, realistically, it is going to take a significant amount of time and your schedule may not always be as flexible as you would like. You could certainly schedule in days when you pick the kids up at 3, but you may find yourself making up that time late at night or on the weekends, and you may have times when your advisor says "I need this today" and you are stuck figuring out what to do with the kids.

I was a single mom during my anthro PhD. Ours was a pretty family-friendly department, and I had several fellow grad students who had babies as well in the years after my first-born appeared on the scene. The amount of time you actually need to be on campus will vary somewhat as you progress through the program, and also depending on your funding package and how many hours you are given as a TA/RA. The number of hours in class is similar to undergrad--figure on 12 or more actually chair-hours, plus a bit of buffer time.
You say you don't want a tenure-track position and so "jobs for grads" are not a big interest for you, but you also ask how much time is spend teaching, so I'm a bit confused as to whether you plan to have an assistantship of some sort or are just planning on paying for this out of pocket? Assuming you are interested in an assistantship, that's another 15-20 hours, about half of which must be performed on campus if it's a TA (the rest will be prepwork and grading). You also need to allow a few hours a week for the library, meetings, etc.
If you have a good commute, it's
possible to take care of your on-campus obligations during the "mommy shift" from 9-3 or so, assuming that you've got arrangements for another 15+ hours or so a week when you can do studying and writing in relative peace and quiet. The biggest problem you might run up against is afternoon seminars. My kids were still in daycare when I was still taking my coursework, so I just had them in FT and didn't have to pick them up until 5:30.

For example, would picking them up at 3pm some days of the week be completely out of the question?
Not a problem, unless you had a class or were teaching at 3pm on those days.
A normal schedule (over a four year program; people often take longer, obviously) would be something like two years of taking classes and (unless you had a sweet fellowship with no work requirements) TAing or RAing at the same time, then a year of research where you don't take classes but you might be teaching unless you were doing your research elsewhere, and then a year of writing the dissertation where you again are not taking classes but will presumably be TAing/RAing.
In the first two years, your weekly schedule is likely to be three or so classes (so needing to be on campus during those class times), plus TAing a class, meaning that you are committed for those classroom hours, also. And there are often weekly, biweekly, or monthly departmental events (eg a speaker series) that are "optional" but really you need to be there, so add in another hour or two a week for that. And you might have an hour or two of office hours, depending on what kind of class you are TAing and what the expectations are, and maybe weekly TA meetings with other TAs or the prof. That's the locked-in, scheduled part of your life, and it will total out to a lot less than 40 hrs/week, but will be spread out inconveniently. You also have many hours of reading, writing papers, grading assignments, preparing for your qualifying exams, things like that, but you can do them at whatever time and on whatever day you want, no one cares.
After you are done with the coursework requirements, then the only locked in parts of your schedule are teaching classes, plus the same departmental things; you'll figure out which are optional and which aren't. A lot of not-really-optional events are held during evenings and other times that assume that you are either childless or have a spouse who stays home and takes care of the kids; single parents I knew really struggled with those expectations. You'll have huge expectations on your time (eg researching, exam preparation, writing, etc) but again that will mostly happen on your schedule, so things like picking up the kids should be easy.
But remember also that there are huge variations between places; what I'm describing is for a place with good funding and limited teaching expectations. If your program has poor funding or heavy teaching duties, then you will need to add in those hours. Grad school is child-friendly in that you have a lot more control over your time than you do if you are working a regular job, but it's not child-friendly in other ways (like the low pay, inflexible evening and weekend events, and the need to travel).

I would suggest emailing faculty you're interested in working with at the schools you're hoping to apply to and asking them if they could connect you with students who have balanced parenting and grad school, as I think the answer will depend on the program. At least to the faculty in my program, who all have small children, I don't think this would sound at all like you're wanting to slack off. Instead, it will sound like you're taking the commitment seriously and planning ahead. A program that would see you as a slacker for looking into this is probably not a good fit for you anyway. One way to frame it is below:
Dear Dr. So and So,
My name is Chaussette, and I am very interested in your graduate program. I have had a long-standing interest in [INTEREST] and I think your program is a great fit for these interests. I am hoping to get a better understanding what I could expect as a parent in your program. I was wondering if you have any students in your program who have children that would be willing to share their experiences with me. They can reach me by phone at [NUMBER] or email at [EMAIL]
From my experience in a clinical/community psych Ph.D. program, the first year is very structured with classes (I had about 12 hours of classes that I could not choose per week plus mandatory seminars and meetings), and after that is pretty flexible depending on the nature of your responsibilities. I'm in my third year, and I have about 16 hours minimum per week that I MUST be on campus, but these are mostly commitments that I had flexibility in choosing for myself (e.g., classes and practica that I wanted to take) rather than fixed program requirements. This changes week to week as meetings get added. I would personally be more concerned about managing the workload (as the work never really ends) than the flexibility of being home vs. somewhere that I have to be physically present. Also, the faculty/grad parents I know in the academy often work away from home, as they find that it can be hard to get real, focused work done with kids present. YM(probably will)V.

Also- to evidence the variation in programs, mine is pretty different from Forktine's. People usually take 6 years to finish the academic component, followed by a year of internship. We take about 5 intensive classes both semesters during our first year and anywhere from 0-2 classes every semester thereafter, plus one practicum a year in years 2-6 (which is supposed to take 7 hours a week, I believe), plus 1-3 brownbag seminars on Friday. Whatever you're paid to do is supposed to take up 20 hours a week. I am funded to teach a service-learning course, which involves 4 hours of classroom time a week, plus an hour meeting with my TAs, plus meetings with students, plus being on-call 24/7 for client crises. When I'm in the training part of my course, I spend a lot of time doing class prep and grading. After they have clients, I do a lot of supervisory/administrative stuff. I also spend 12 hours a week writing papers for publication. Programs with more of an emphasis on applied work would spend more time on seeing clients and less on research.

Well, it is really intense.
For the first couple of years, you'll be in course work and you'll have little control over the timing of your classes. Sometimes you'll have to be there at 9am, other times, classes will be in the evening. You'll be in class for 3-4 hours X Number of classes. Then reading in a social science PhD program is usually 3 hours of work outside of class for every 1 class hour. The reading will be really time consuming and there will be homework for methods classes.
(3 classes is the norm, so 12 + 36 = 48 hours a week)
If you're TAing or RAing, the expectation is usually 20 hours of work. Sometimes it is more. Sometimes it is less. If TAing, you'll have to do 2-3 hours of office hours each week, then you'll have to be physically at the class for 4 hours a week (plus transit). And then you might have an hour of meetings. Then when you have to grade, it takes up a ton of time. (And if you have a sick kid, you still have to grade those damn papers.)
(plus 20 hours a week)
And then you'll have obligations like colloquium or other meetings. That's usually ~3-4 hours every other week.
(plus 2 hours a week)
And then you'll be asked to meetings with your advisor. And you'll need time to do your own work.
So - yes, picking the kids up at 3pm won't be something that you will be able to do with certainty. And more importantly, you will need the time to do work.
You will certainly have to work late hours and get up early in the morning to make this work.
I work ~60 hours a week, if not more, and it has taken its toll on my health. And mind you, that I have my working style down-pat and I'm not taking courses anymore, I'm teaching them.
But really, if your goal isn't to do a TT job, I don't think that the pain of getting a PhD is worth it -- and I would say that if you were single too. Speaking as an academic mother, I wish that I didn't have to do this life pressure to my child.
If you want, I can put you in touch with some friends that are single moms of multiple kids that have tried doing the social science PhD thing.

Just an anecdotal point, but I knew a woman with young children (forget what ages, but young) who completed a geophysics/geology PhD at MIT and not only managed, but was one of the most productive and most successful grad students there. Now a tenure-track faculty at an Ivy League school. So, its possible.
The most inflexible hours are those spent in class -- either as a student or as a TA. With a previous master's, you may find that you have fewer course requirements. With good funding, you'll have fewer TA responsibilities.

There's definitely a range, and a lot of flexibility. In my cognitive psychology/cognitive neuroscience lab, we have one psychology student who probably works about 40 hours, including TAing, classes, research, and office hours. (She's only finishing up her second year though.) On the upper end, one guy will work 12 hours a day 6 days a week. Though he's a neuroscience MD-PhD, so I guess he's used to it. Everyone is funded, but is expected to also apply for individual training grants.

It depends greatly on your funding arrangement and the kind of research your program does. TAing is a huge time drain but mostly scheduled. If your research in anthro / epi / soc field work, then the schedule is extremely variable and comes with the risk that your program will just not work. If your research is data husbandry and analysis or theory then of course you can mostly do it at home.
The total amount of hours put in tends to be large, which makes doing it part-time a nearly indefinite task. I'd estimate that classroom-years (often 1-2) full time students put in 40-50 hours a week and research years more, trending up to 60+ as one tries to wrap up the dissertation or reaches a climactic phase. My institution has substantial pressure to get quality work done and get out, which may account for the hours, but I hear its much the same elsewhere among top institutions. I see hacks with PhD's, and assume they didn't put that kind of effort in, so it must be possible to avoid it.
I cannot imagine a justifiable reason to obtain a social sciences PhD other than pursuing a TT or industry job which requires it.

Also a lot of academic parents (especially Moms) have a bit of a sense that they need to over-do it in terms of participation and attending non-required activities - especially the ones that aren't required but people get bad reputations if they never go. Like... "Look, I'm here." I've found that there is a need to demonstrate that kids aren't "holding you back" so to speak.
If this is real or not, I don't know. But, I certainly have heard many-a grad student and faculty member grumbling about non-participation by the parents. And this sat with me in my own parent-academic balancing. (I remember a colloquium where 2 of us were wearing babies in the back, bouncing them to sleep, not paying any attention, but I was there DAMNIT.)
Sometimes I wonder how much more productive I could be if I wasn't a parent. I think that being a parent has helped my productivity BUT
1. I am done with coursework
2. I am not single
3. I have 1 kid and he is very young
If 2 of those 3 things weren't true, I don't think that *I* could have done my social science PhD program.

Thanks. You've all given me more info than I've been able to get elsewhere.
Not making 3 o'clock pick-up most days of the week would be a deal breaker for me. I currently run a small business (which I can set to autopilot if I go to school) and had been thinking a PhD might be a good fit. I don't "need" a PhD and maybe it isn't a good fit right now. I've been fortunate to fit my business around my life since my kids were small and was unsure whether that was something one could do with academia. It doesn't sound very flexible, although maybe I should take a look at whether I could indeed find a way to swing an education PhD or something that allows p/t study.

Anthro PhD checking in to say that, for my coursework years, my schedule was ~9 hours a week in class, ~2-3 hours a week blabbing with students/faculty or attending the department's weekly seminar, and then ~20 hours a week of reading and writing on my own at home. I had a stipend and no teaching duties, although I opted in for unpaid teaching experience, giving lectures and grading tests for my advisor. This stuff really depends on the program. If you're limited to programs in your area, maybe send a note to the chair saying you'd like to visit. But if they're serious research programs, note that locals are at a bit of a disadvantage: one aim of a serious research program is to attract candidates from a worldwide pool of people with very specialized interests that match the program, and you may really need to catch up on that specialty.

Bathroom was smelly and hot - it needed better ventilation. The lockers didn't seem to work and the dorm was unlocked, so all personal items were always unsecured. We had no problems with this, but it was not ideal.

Thanks to ever-improving technology, ebooks can be produced relatively quickly and economically compared to their traditional print cousins. But with the temptation to capitalize on speed and low cost, it's easy for publishers to cut corners on quality, especially when it comes to things that affect look, layout, and readability-such as proper conversion of text, images, and other elements from a print book to an ebook. And because churning out sloppy electronic copy can potentially turn off customers, content providers are worried.

Company: SQ Global Solutions LLCSQ Global Solutions LLC is a joint venture between Strategic Resources, a U.S. legal staffing firm, and Quislex, an India-based legal process outsourcer (LPO). SQ Global provides legal outsourcing for law firms and corporate clients by utilizing a staff of more than 150 offshore attorneys and paralegals. Since 2004, SQ Global has worked on a variety of client projects, from second request to other types of litigation-related document review, contract analysis, research, and contract negotiations. www.sqglobalsolutions.com
Business ChallengeAs an outsourcer, SQ Global Solutions' problems are its clients' problems. A law firm client turned to SQ Global to help comply with its own client's premerger antitrust review by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC issued a "second request," meaning that the government body needed more documentation and information related to the proposed merger. To avoid jeopardizing the merger, the law firm had only 6 weeks to collect this data and move the process along. It needed a tool that would enable accurate and efficient document review.
Vendor of Choice: Attenex Corp.Founded in 2000, e-discovery company Attenex Corp. provides document review and analysis software products for a customer base that comprises corporations and law firms. The Seattle-based company's main goal is to improve its customers' efficiency during the electronic discovery process. Its Attenex Patterns integrated e-discovery software suite comprises three applications: Document Mapper, Workbench, and Matter Manager. www.attenex.com
SQ Global needed an efficient solution that wouldn't break the bank. To keep costs reasonable, assembling a large staff for the project wasn't an option.
In addition to the cost such a team could incur, SQ Global wanted to avoid problems with consistency that often arise with an oversized staff. The company felt that fewer people would make the project more manageable. "The challenge of doing something like this is that you [usually] have to put a lot of bodies on the project," says Kimberly Williams, director of litigation services for SQ Global. "In addition to the expense [of hiring a large staff], it creates problems in terms of training and management. The more people you have, the more opportunity for human error."

MUMBAI: A 26-year-old Mumbai resident is the latest victim of a brutal attack with chemical being flung in her face. The attack bears close resemblance to previous incidents of acid attack across the country. Another victim Jharkhand resident Sonali Mukherjee has been running from pillar to post undergoing reconstructive surgeries since she was attacked with acid in 2003.
The brazenness and regularity with which these incidents occur yet again underline the need for India to tighten its legal machinery against the crime. The process has been initiated with the Union Cabinet approving the Criminal Law (Amendment) Bill 2012 which recognises acid attack as an offence in its own right. But it is important that the bill gets Parliamentary approval at the earliest.
Such crimes highlight the tardiness of our law-making process and policies. The Law Commission had after all recommended that acid attacks be recognised as a crime over four years ago. Acid or chemicals may have emerged as a newer form of gender-based violence but it is time Indian laws kept pace with societal dynamics.
The new bill introduces new sections to tackle attack by the use of acid as well as attempts and proposes a harsh sentence anywhere from 10 years to life imprisonment. Many countries where acid attacks are prevalent such as Uganda, Pakistan and Bangladesh already have such laws in place.
While a law itself may not be a deterrent it is the first step towards establishing a no-tolerance attitude towards such brutal violence.

About 30 people — including two broomball teams and a handful of fans — were inside the building when the explosion happened at about 9:40 p.m. A small blast was followed by a larger explosion, the Duluth News Tribune reported in its Monday editions.
Player Ryan Ringsred, who was bandaged, picked small pieces of Plexiglas from the back of his neck. He was on the ice when the explosion occurred.
"I was facing the boards when they blew up," Ringsred said. "I was on the ice and the Zamboni blew up behind me. I was flat on the ice."
Even his helmet was dented.
"It's brand new," he said. "It did its job, I guess."
The building was evacuated and the players watched the fire from a small warming house about 30 yards away. By 10:15 p.m., the fire had engulfed the north side of the building and police cleared out the warming house when it looked like the fire might reach nearby power lines.
Joe Buckley, the driver of the Zamboni, which resurfaces the ice, said he was sweeping up when the blast occurred.

Distribution of the Economic Gains of the 1990s
Abstract"h Australia¡¦s surge in productivity growth in the 1990s fuelled an acceleration in growth in total income and average income (income per person in Australia). ¡V Annual average income growth accelerated from 1.4 per cent in the 1970s and 1980s to 2.5 per cent in the 1990s. ¡V Faster productivity growth accounted for over 90 per cent of the acceleration. "h The income growth of the 1990s was distributed evenly between labour (wages and salaries) and capital (profits). The labour and capital shares in economywide income were stable throughout the 1990s. Concerns that productivity-enhancing factors have adversely affected the income-earning potential of labour appear to be unfounded at the aggregate level.

Scientist say California's current drought appears similar to events during a prolonged dry spell that occurred here long before the first Europeans arrived.
And the expected return of such conditions would mean more extreme weather, including larger floods and deeper droughts, said Lynn Ingram, a UC Berkeley professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Science at UC Berkeley.
"The past 150 years have been wetter than the past 2,000 years," Ingram said in a recent video for the UC California Institute for Water Resources.
Studies at Mono Lake by researcher Scott Stine of California State University East Bay have found evidence of a dry spell from 1,800 to 600 years ago.
Since the 1960s, the state has seen gradually increasing temperatures.
Ingram said scientists believe the warming will continue.

Double Chocolate Porter - Ellersick Brewing Company

3.68/5 rDev +5.7%
Ellersick brews their Double Chocolate Porter with chocolate malts and Ghirardelli chocolate. Ghirardelli makes some fine chocolate and this porter makes ample use of it, building the flavor to a robust climax that showers the palate with good stuff. The aroma never matches the flavor for chocolate intensity and the beer as a whole feels like a routine porter elevated by a fine adjunct.
Double Chocolate is oddly red for a porter - like polished mahogany. Head and lace make no appreciable appearance and the flavor can falter. Still, the beer has its moments and is certainly worth a try.

3.28/5 rDev -5.7%
Poured from growler into a pint glass.
Appearance: very dark brown with a ruby tinge; almost like a cross between a brown ale and a porter in hue. Two-finger tan head which leaves a nice lace.
Smell: chocolate and caramel aromas; again, it seems like a mix between a porter and a brown ale. Not bad.
Taste: there's some good chocolate flavor there but overall it seems a bit too astringent and roasty. In this respect, it leans toward a lot of English-style porters I've had; it's good but not what I usually like in an American porter.
Mouthfeel: medium-bodied with a nice level of carbonation.
Drinkability: pretty good, but the astringency in the flavor limits its capabilities as a session beer.

We're still swimming in the dreamy waters of Pisces, so flip over onto your back and let the moonlight bathe and sooth you, body and soul. That's when Spirit's voice comes clear.
Perhaps you've been lost in the dark watery depths amidst strangely glowing nightmare creatures or swimming fast and free with a pod of dolphins or breaching with a family of whales. Perhaps you've gotten stuck in stagnate seas of weeds and grass or finally been tumbled to distant shores. If you've flowed with Pisces' watery energies, you might feel like your life is dissolving into a new unity of spirit; if you've struggled against the tides you might find yourself lost at sea. But wherever you find yourself on Full Moon night, take this magical moonlight into your heart. Listen to and look at what's there.
The Virgo Full Moon tells us, "You belong to yourself. As much as you are part of a whole, you are also a unique drop in the ocean of consciousness. What do you want to do with your drop? What does your drop want to do with you?"
Share a free sample 2014 Day-By-Day Forecast. Look forward to 2014 with this forecast as your road map. Get a free one-week preview now!
We are all here on Earth for the specific reason that's encoded within our soul, just as our physical body is encoded by our DNA. Each of us has a destiny—each destiny is unique and yet part of the whole. Are you rebirthing the archetype of the Mother, because our society needs nurturing, love and comfort; are you transforming the archetypal image of Father into the wise guide, the caring protector and the truthful judge? Our world certainly needs more of these people. Do you find yourself incarnating the archetypal energy of the Warrior, the Healer, the Artist, the Bard, the Leader, the Priestess or Priest? How about the conscious Merchant, the courageous Scout? Uranus in Aries opens us to these archetypal identities just as we are challenged to re-create the society that Pluto in Capricorn is tearing down. If we are truly one universe, then our instructions are clear—be your unique Self. Who do you want to be?
Virgo is the sign of the Virgin, the one who knows seeks self-knowledge, to know oneself, both light and shadows. Our Christian era has re-defined Virgin to only mean its physical sexual aspect; in ancient times, a virgin was a woman who belonged to no man, who was a woman in her own right. She belonged to herself! Each of us, man and woman, can reclaim our feminine virginal energy—we can belong to ourselves. On this Virgo Full Moon night, we can see who we're meant to be if we're willing to acknowledge who we really are.
Virgo's shadow can distort our need to know ourselves into the need to control things to attain the ideal of perfection—someone else's idea of perfection! Virgo's real purpose is to help us know and accept who we really are. Virgo's analytical mind measures and aligns; Virgo's magic understands how everything fits together to make it work. Virgo's greatest gift is discernment, knowing this from that. This helps us master a talent, and understand how it can be of service to others.
On Full Moon night, the Piscean ocean will send out a drop of its womblike waters to each of us, filtered through the Virgo Moon. The drop of our Piscean longing and dreams. Who do you see? Do you see yourself?

Today's weather forecast: Land of Sunshine
You Can't Eat the Sunshine is a weekly podcast series produced by Kim Cooper and Richard Schave in which the Esotouric founders talk with L.A. personalities about the city's myths, contradictions, and inspirations.This week, Richard and Kim chat with Senior City Planner Tom Rothmann, who was charged with lifting Los Angeles out of the past and creating a pedestrian friendly, 21st century city. They also discuss the potential creation of a southeast L.A. "super city" (conceived by Bell City Manager Robert Rizzo).
In this exclusive clip, Jackie Miller, historian at the Parsonage of Sister Aimee Semple McPherson, recalls a time when 200 members of the K.K.K. showed up at Angelus Temple clothed in their white robes. Her aim was to preach the gospel without offending anyone, and according to Miller, all 200 clansmen left in the middle of the service, disrobed, and reentered the church in the suits they donned underneath. "They just felt a little convicted," Miller said.

Comedian Louis Katz (Last Call, Comedy Central) at the Punch Line
- Full Price:
- $13.00 - $19.00
- Our Price:
Known for comedy that combines the highbrow and lowbrow, Louis Katz's unique style has been described as a "mix of scatology and Jewish intellectualism." His career started at age 9 when two of his jokes were read by Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show, so it's no surprise he grew up to become an internationally headlining comedian. His numerous television appearances include NBC's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, HBO's Down & Dirty with Jim Norton and most recently, Comedy Central's Comedy Underground with Dave Attell. He was given his own half-hour Comedy Central Presents special in 2011, coinciding with the release of his debut comedy album, If These Balls Could Talk, a delightfully irreverent and unapologetically raunchy trip through Louis's twisted mind.

With temperatures in the
upper 70s, Friday was another nice afternoon, and if you are out and about
this evening, temperatures are expected to cool into the upper 60s by 10 p.m.
Saturday will
be great with a high in the low 80s, a partly cloudy sky and comfortable humidity
Sunday will be a bit more humid, just over that threshold when
most people notice it, and late Sunday we could see a few showers pop.
