Thomas Sowell: Obama is a truly great phony
The man was indeed a very talented phony. He could convince almost anybody of almost anything — provided that they were not already knowledgeable about the subject.
Incidentally, he did not get the grant he applied for.
One presidential gaffe in particular gives the flavor, and suggests the reason, for many others. It involved the Falkland Islands.
It so happens that the Maldives are thousands of miles away from the Malvinas. The former are in the Indian Ocean, while the latter are in the South Atlantic.
The presidential gaffe that struck me when I heard it was Barack Obama's reference to a military corps as a military "corpse." He is obviously a man who is used to sounding off about things he has paid little or no attention to in the past. His mispronunciation of a common military term was especially revealing to someone who was once in the Marine Corps, not Marine "corpse."
One wonders how he will laugh when all his golden promises about Obamacare turn out to be false and a medical disaster. Or when his foreign policy fiascoes in the Middle East are climaxed by a nuclear Iran.

text: I have previously made an Iron Man mk1 helmet from steel as it would have been in the Iron Man film. This proved successful, so I decided to do the same with the Boba helmet, after being told by my son I couldn't do it. (love a challenge). This is the result. I am a beginner at this so be kind if you wish to comment. There are a few faults I know, but I think it is something different from the normal helmets, so should be treated as such. It took many hours of hard work in the workshop using my skills as a fabricator/welder. Hope you like my attempt. Its definitely unique. yes it is full size. Yes it can be worn.

Excellent experience - can't think of anything to improve.
Nothing you can do to improve perfection
Fast, friendly service. Could not ask for more.
All good.
Nope. Super convenient and super easy to check out. I was able to knock out everthing online. I was very impressed with how simple it was to rent.
Nothing it was perfect
Great service. Outstanding people to work with.
My favorite uhaul alwas a pleasure doing business . I have recommended many times to friends .
I think everything went perfectly well there. The truck had only 1,400 miles on it and was spotlessly clean.
Very good!!
While the customer service on both locations was excellent, the U-Haul truck we rented was totally inferior - No fault of the service providers. Our U-Haul leaked terrible. We understand that it is 'water resistant' and not 'water proof', however, all of the boxes on the upper Granny's Attic were saturated with water. The water streamed steadily down to the lower level as well. The water damage ruined much of our belongings. Some things are irreplaceable! We are extremely disgusted. Wish the product could have been as good as the contract personnel.
Excellent customer service, second time I have used this facility and it was pleasant both times.
The staff here was very helpful and made for a quick drop off.
Renting from this uhaul location was a very awesome experience, each time I came in the staff was always very friendly and knowledgeable. We were in and out in a no time with great service. It's hard to find service like this around this area, thank you very much for not adding any more stress to our move. I would defintly recommend this uhaul location to friends.
Chuck was outstanding!
Superior Service and Uhaul knowledge.
The office environment was very friendly with coffee, candy treats and very clean.
A+ in my book! Best of Port Orchard Wa.
I will return when the need should arise.
Chuck took care of my trailer rental - he was quick, efficient and friendly. This was an excellent moving experience due to the quality of service by this U-Haul Neighborhood Dealer. Highest marks - I'll use these guys again and will recommend them to anyone needing a move.
Slightly hard to find. The U-Haul sign is visible but the street turn-off is "hidden" in the bend of the road. Had to turn around to enter.
Chuck provided best customer service anyone could ever expect. Location didn't open until 9 but he was there at 845 cheerful and willing to help. Introduced himself, shook my hand and took care of me and another customer who was there before the store opened. This is the kind of customer service that you just don't see now days
Exceptional customer service.
Wash the truck!
Nothing really !!
Great equipment selection and availability with good customer service.
This location gets 10 stars on a 5 star rating scale. They truly understand all of the issues that can happen during a difficult move, and have always gone way out of their way to help me. They define customer service excellence!
I've used this location for local moves and now for cross country. I would recommend it to anyone needing either.
The customer service is the best. This location could teach others how to have awesome customer service.

A Snowboarding video by nixoneurope - 3,108 views
Nixon is proud to welcome Nicolas Müller to the Nixon Global Snow Team.
Coming off a recent stellar winter season including an X Games Gold, a podium position at Travis Rice's Red Bull Supernatural Event and a banger video part with Absinthe Films, the 30-year-old Swiss native is poised and ready for his next chapter.
Starting out his pro career as one of the most technically accomplished contest riders in the game, Nico soon switched his focus to the backcountry where he continues to drive the mind-blowing evolution of freeride snowboarding.
"Nico is without doubt one of the most respected riders in the world," stated Chad DiNenna, Nixon co-founder and E.V.P. of Marketing. "Not only by pro snowboarders, but across the wider boardsport industry and community. That feeling of respect is also shared by every one of our team riders, and that's why it was easy to have him join us. We're all pumped to welcome him onboard."
Longtime Nixon pro rider JP Walker didn't waste any time in giving Nico the nod to join the team stating, "Nico is the man. I'm hyped to have him as part of the crew. He's insane to watch in the backcountry." Added Iikka Backstrom, "Hell yes! Nico is the shit!"
Nico enthusiastically had this to say, "Joining the Nixon family is a dream come true. The team basically consists of legends past and present, and just thinking about what each of them has accomplished gives me goose bumps. Representing the brand is an honor and at the end of the day I don't think I've ever met anyone who doesn't think Nixon is dope shit. And that says it all."

Mrs. Tracy Caputo « Teacher Connection / Documents / Calendar
Dear Parents, families, and students,
It is so hard to believe that we are entering our final week before Fall break. We have a jam packed week, so let's fasten those seatbelts and get ready to roll! Thanks to all of you that have offered to send in an item for our craft rotations on Friday. Please try and have the item turned in by Wednesday. This way I can see what we are still in need of.
Our first book fair of the school year will be held this week in our library. We will be previewing it on Monday as a class. I will set a scheduled time each day for those children that bring money to shop. I allow the children to go once a day and they may not share money. Anything other than books purchased will be placed in their backpacks to come home. Thursday evening will be parent night. What a great opportunity to pick up a few great reads for your children and yourself!
This week in reading we will be working with unit 3 lesson 3. The following skills will be focused on:
* Comprehension strategy: Asking and answering questions
* Comprehension skill: Author's purpose
* Genre: Narrative Nonfiction (Biblioburro: A True Story from Colombia)
* Vocabulary Strategy: Synonyms
* Phonics: Long O: o, oa, ow, and oe
For those students that are struggling with their spelling, please remember that I have every list on Spelling city. They can go to www.spellingcity.com and locate my name and practice their words. The words are listed by the current week's story.
Breaking apart 3-digit addends, 3-digit addition with regrouping ones and tens, and problem solving involving 3-digit subtraction will comprise the math lessons for the week. The children performed wonderfully on the first mixed fact assessment. Another one is scheduled for Wednesday. As always, if you child needs extra help, please remember you can visit www.themathfactcafe.com or www.themathworksheet.com.
We will finish up our social studies unit on Native Americans this week. Hopefully the children are putting the finishing touches on their Native American project this weekend. Remember: All projects are due on Monday, the 17th. No exceptions will be made.
Don't forget to send in those box tops and we can always use items for our treasure box. If you are able to help out, please remember to submit your receipt for PI credit.
I wish you all a safe and happy week!
Mrs. Caputo

This is starting to get embarrassing but here's yet another Darling Ranges. I experimented with drafting a collar for this one and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out! This one also has back darts instead of back ties and is sleeveless.
Visit my blog for more pretties! http://peneloping.wordpress.com
I used cotton quilting fabric, the more lightweight the better.

Of the many problems that the new BBC Director-General might have expected to confront in his first month in the job, a sex scandal relating to one of the Corporation's most fondly remembered stars was probably not one. He would have been briefed about questions relating to value for the licence fee, low morale from pending job cuts, even the pay and tax arrangements of top staff. But serial sexual misbehaviour with under-age girls, even rape, on the part of Jimmy Savile, was probably nowhere near George Entwistle's radar until ITV started promoting its documentary.
Yet it is by their response to such unforeseen events that leaders are judged and, while it is cruelly early days, Mr Entwistle has not covered himself with glory. It was only yesterday, almost two weeks after the first revelations broke, that he said anything substantial on the record. The BBC's first effort was to advise women to contact the police; then the Newsnight editor offered a not-entirely-convincing blog about why he called off an investigation into Savile.
The star's stature, though, his long association with the BBC and the fact that crimes were allegedly committed on BBC premises, dictated that the Director-General, however new to his responsibilities, should lead the response. It was only yesterday, after a new crop of accusations, that Mr Entwistle spoke. Tonally, there was nothing to complain about; he offered an abject apology on behalf of the Corporation.
In terms of action, though, his response was inadequate. He said the BBC would address what he called all outstanding questions, but only after the police had finished their inquiries – which could be a very long time. And while it is clear that Savile was not alone among TV stars in the way he treated some young women and that the BBC was not the only place where a blind eye was turned to unacceptable behaviour, it has a particular duty, as a public service, to set the standard for uncovering the truth and preventing any recurrence. Mr Entwistle has more to do if he is to command credibility.

One neighbourhood I've heard of over and over in Washington DC is Georgetown. I was told it's a quaint neighbourhood with a small-town feel to it. Last night I went to check it out and it didn't disappoint.
The main strip in Georgetown is M Street. All along it are shops belonging to the world's best known (and most exclusive) brands, a host of restaurants, bars and cafes. It's a great neighbourhood and one not to miss.
Georgetown is also well known for its connection with the water. Just seconds from M Street is the neighbourhood's canal, and within a couple of minutes more you'll be down at the Potomac River.
I finished the evening off by doing my utmost to gain even more weight by devouring a pizza in a restaurant called Paper Moon. It cost just around $10 so not bad value for the area – Georgetown is quite affluent.

Inventories boost economic growth, but trend weak
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Lucia Mutikani | November 30, 2012 1:28 AM EST
The U.S. economy grew faster than initially thought in the third quarter as restocking by businesses provided a big boost, but consumer and business spending were revised lower in a sobering reminder of the recovery's underlying weakness.
Gross domestic product expanded at a 2.7 percent annual rate, the Commerce Department said on Thursday, as export growth also helped to offset the weakest consumer spending and first drop in business investment in more than a year.
While the growth pace was much quicker than the 2 percent rate the government estimated last month and the best since the fourth quarter of 2011, it was hardly a sign of strength as the lift from inventories will likely be lost in the fourth quarter.
The economy is also bracing for deep cuts in government spending and tax increases early next year, known as the fiscal cliff, which could suck $600 billion from the economy and fuel a fresh recession.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected GDP growth to be raised to a 2.8 percent pace.
"The bulk of the (GDP) rise is inventory adjustment," said Omer Esiner, chief market analyst at Commonwealth Foreign Exchange in Washington. "So I think the market may look past this number, thinking real GDP in the economy is a bit lower. It was also concerning to see consumer spending revised down."
A separate report from the Labor Department showed initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped 23,000 to a seasonally adjusted 393,000, but still staying elevated after superstorm Sandy.
The storm, which ripped through the East Coast in late October, has distorted initial claims data in recent weeks, making it hard to get a clear pulse of the labor market, whose struggles have underscored the economy's weakness.
U.S. stock index futures held gains after the data. Prices on longer-dated U.S. Treasury debt pared losses, while the euro held against the dollar.
Business inventories added 0.77 percentage point to third-quarter GDP growth. They were previously estimated to have subtracted 0.12 percentage point.
Excluding inventories, GDP rose at a revised 1.9 percent rate, underscoring sluggish demand. Final sales of goods and services produced in the United States had been previously estimated to have increased at a 2.1 percent pace.
A smaller trade deficit was also a factor behind the upward revision to GDP as export growth outpaced a rise in imports. But the trend in exports is unlikely to be sustained given slowing global demand, especially in China and debt troubled Europe.
Trade contributed 0.14 percentage point to GDP growth instead of subtracting 0.18 percentage point, as previously reported.
Other details of the report were rather weak. Consumer spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity, was lowered to a 1.4 percent growth rate - the slowest since the second quarter of 2011, from the 2 percent gain previously reported.
Consumer spending increased at a 1.5 percent rate in the second-quarter.
Business spending was revised to show much deeper cutbacks, which have been blamed on the fears a tightening in fiscal policy next year. Business investment fell at a revised 2.2 percent rate instead of a 1.3 percent decline. That was the first drop since the first quarter of 2011.
Part of the drag in business investment, which had been a source of strength for the economy, came from equipment and software, where spending was the weakest since the second quarter of 2009.
The report also showed that after-tax corporate profits rose at a 3.3 percent rate in the third quarter after gaining 2.2 percent in the second quarter.
Spending on nonresidential structures contracted after five straight quarters of growth. Government investment was revised to a 3.5 percent growth rate from 3.7 percent as defense, and state and local government spending estimates were pared.
Growth in home building was trimmed to a 14.2 percent rate from 14.4 percent. Residential construction is benefiting from the Federal Reserve's ultra accommodative monetary policy stance, which has driven mortgage rates to record lows.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 11/16/14
The concept of fault lines in the media is something we all witness on a daily basis, but rarely recognize. Fault lines are a tool that help shape the perception of ourselves, others and events around us. The ones most are familiar with are culture and gender, but they can also contain factors of age, socioeconomic status and geographical location of the subject. Some of these categories can help us in understanding the enigma that is Jordany Valdespin. As I surf around the web at the plethora of voices representing the Mets, I can't help but notice one underlying theme: Valdespin bothers people. That's fine. This is nothing new. We're all entitled to our own opinions, myself included. Valdespin was the subject of another Mets controversy when he didn't attend a batting practice session before Friday night's game in Atlanta. Here's what we know from recent reports: Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork reports Valdespin was asked to attend batting practice before Friday night's game and did no...

Thirty-five percent of admissions officers at America's top colleges who use social media sites to investigate applicants say they've found information that damaged potential students' chances at admission, an increase from 12 percent in 2011, according to Kaplan Test Prep.
"We have seen students that have been involved in bullying behavior or alcohol or drugs," Martha Blevins Allman, dean of admissions at Wake Forest University, told Wall Street Journal. "We never use it as a single indicator and we don't search blindly, but if we have other suspicions, we will look."
Only 15 percent of universities have policies about checking potential students' social media presence. About two-thirds of those policies are prohibitive, which provides the majority of admissions offices latitude to decide whether to investigate social media presence of applicants or not.
"My advice to students is to be smart and think twice about what you post online," Jeff Olson, vice president of data science at Kaplan Test Prep, told Wall Street Journal.
Though instances of vetting applicants through social media are on the rise, most applicants go unscreened, according to the Wall Street Journal.
"We leave it up to the individual admissions officers, and if something gives them cause to scratch their head, then they do it," Paul Marthers, vice president for enrollment at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, told Wall Street Journal, "But it's a very small number."

In the last few days in the world of diabetes has been unleashed an earthquake: a study published June 26 in Diabetologia, the journal of EASD, showed a possible carcinogenic effect of Lantus, ie, insulin glargine. The famous and expensive insulin similar that allows those who have diabetes to control their blood sugar through a basal rate of 24 hours (or almost) with one injection per day would be dangerous to health, even if the conditional is a must .
A survey of 127,000 patients with diabetes in Germany have found that people who regularly use the Lantus has 31% more likely to develop a tumor within 1 year and a half, and that the risk is proportional to the amount of Lantus taken on a daily basis. Similar studies conducted in Sweden, Scotland and the United Kingdom have partially confirmed the results, although there are some conflicting data. The Food and Drug Administration has opened an investigation to pursue the matter.
This is a preliminary research that certainly goes in-depth with further study before arriving at a definitive answer, as admitted by the authors of the scientific paper. However, there was great confusion triggered by the news, along with the sensation exploded in diabetes. But above all is the great dismay that crosses many people with diabetes who use insulin that, which call for certain answers and quick fixes. It is important to remember, however, that patients treated with Lantus must not stop treatment without permission of your doctor healthcare professional.
Also from the financial point of view there has been a collapse in the stock market performance of Sanofi-Aventis: the French pharmaceutical company that produces the Lantus has lost more than 7% in one day of publication of the study. Sanofi Aventis is the same corporation that just a few days before the outbreak of the "scandal Lantus" announced the production of a vaccine against the famous "swine flu", also known as swine flu.
Immediately after the stock market crash, Sanofi Aventis has seen fit to issue a number of press, with which it aims to ensure that in fact the Lantus is completely safe and that there is no link with cancer, challenging the method used by the researchers in the study recently published. The question that arises is: "who" wanted to reassure the leaders of Sanofi Aventis? Doctors who prescribe Lantus? Or maybe the shareholders who buy stocks? The fear is that we forget the people. Because the money and interests that revolve around these topics are many, indeed many, and I would not want the biggest concern was that an effort to secure sales and capital, before the actual safety of the drug. But diabetics are really more important than money?
The doubts are because I personally heard rumors about the carcinogenicity of Lantus already two years ago, although at that time no one spoke, and there was nothing confirmed about it, but because the news came just now, winning the most important media and newspapers worldwide? Perhaps because of the noise amplified by the stock market crash? Or maybe because the economic interests claimed that this was the case?
We must demand rather than at the center of the issue there is the person with diabetes and his health. Rather than reassure "a priori", it would be well for all, including Sanofi Aventis, would take in hand the results of the study seriously, and to flesh out urgently with new research, in order to give a definite answer on Lantus and rapid, with the hope that This insulin is actually safe for all who use it. We hope that this is the path taken by all companies, associations of diabetes, and scientific bodies. Emphasizing the importance of the individual above all else: it serves the ethical economy, especially in pharmacology, which comes in people's lives. We await answers.

Cloud interoperability remains wispy, but progress being made.
Cloud computing (1) Running applications in or from network servers. Computing "in the cloud" may refer to a company's own network, but often refers to the Internet and the use of Web browser-based or rich client applications. is supposed to make IT more flexible, efficient and easier to manage. But the cloud model threatens to introduce a whole new layer of complexity, unless vendors and industry groups promote interoperability standards that let cloud networks work together.
Vendor competition is a potential impediment, but most major cloud vendors are at least talking about interoperability, including the ability to move workloads from one cloud to another.
"So far, it's closer to lip service lip service
Verbal expression of agreement or allegiance, unsupported by real conviction or action; hypocritical respect: , but there are a couple of efforts moving in this direction," says Forrester Research Forrester Research is an independent technology and market research company that provides its clients with advice about technology's impact on business and consumers. Corporate facts

This phrase is used to characterize an officer, a government, a past action, or a state of affairs that must be accepted for all practical purposes, but is illegal or illegitimate. " standards by those who have expressed hope that Amazon will release them as open source software.
Many companies are supporting the Open Cloud Manifesto, which intends to establish a set of core principles that all cloud providers should follow. But notable absences include Amazon and Microsoft.
Several vendors are attempting to tie together different cloud services in ways that make them easier to use for IT shops, but each effort seems to have some limitation.
VMware, for example, is calling its latest virtualization An umbrella term for enhancing a computer's ability to do work. Following are the ways virtualization is used.
Hardware Virtualization
Partitioning the computer's memory into separate and isolated "virtual machines" simulates multiple machines within one physical computer. platform a "cloud operating system" and promising that enterprises can use the software to build private clouds and connect them to public computing resources. But the software only works with hardware that has been virtualized using VMware technology, and the cloud interoperability is only possible if the cloud provider is using VMware. The latter condition eliminates such big players as Amazon and Google.
The Burton Group analyst firm has partnered with vendors to demonstrate single sign-on across real-world applications such as Salesforce.com, Google Apps and Cisco's WebEx, using tools based on standards such as SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) An XML-based format from OASIS for exchanging security information for single sign-on. The "assertions" are statements from a SAML authority that authenticate a user, confirm some attribute about the individual and grant or and WS-Federation.
"We're hearing from our clients that many of the applications are moving off premises and into the cloud, and it's putting a strain onto attempts to present as few authentications to users as possible," says Burton Group analyst Gerry Gebel.
Cloud application vendors will have to adopt a standards-based approach to make single sign-on ubiquitous, Gebel says. While he is optimistic that most vendors will come on board, he says the list of vendors following the standards-based approach is probably shorter than the list of those that are not.
In another interoperability effort, the vendor AppZero has created virtual appliances that allow the movement of server-based applications from private data centers to public clouds, and from one cloud to another, such as from Amazon Web Services This article or section is written like an .
Please help [ rewrite this article] from a neutral point of view.
Mark blatant advertising for , using . to GoGrid.
Rival vendor 3Tera says this approach doesn't account for multi-tier applications that span many virtual machines. 3Tera says it encapsulates all the components of an application, including firewall, load balancer, Web and application servers, databases and operating system into one entity that can be easily moved from one cloud to another. But this portability only works if each cloud was built using the 3tera platform.
"The problem right now is there is no interoperability among any clouds," says Bert Armijo, senior vice president of sales and product marketing for 3Tera. Say you write an application specifically for Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud. Since the code is written specifically for Amazon's platform, "that application is going nowhere," Armijo adds.
Going forward, vendors will have to agree upon a "common set of standards and interfaces" to ensure true interoperability, says IBM cloud computing software chief Kristof Kloeckner.
"In cloud terms, there are some services you receive through a service provider, some services you deliver through an internal cloud, and some that you normally deliver with an internal cloud but you may want overflow capacity for peak times," Kloeckner says. "All this movement of services, applications, and combination of applications only works if all the providers adhere to a common set of standards and interfaces." But today, most public compute clouds are based on virtual machine models that aren't compatible with each other, Kloeckner says.
Mark O'Neill, the CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey. of Vordel, says enterprises should be able to use a best-of-breed cloud approach, having applications that span different providers of storage, compute and application hosting platforms.
"Vordel often speaks with customers wishing to make use of best-of-breed cloud services -- for example using Amazon for external storage (the S3 service) while using Force.com to pull customer order information into behind-the-firewall applications," ONeill writes in an e-mail. "Key issues are allowing single sign-on across cloud services, for the same application, as well allowing a service running one cloud platform (e.g. a hosted application on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud This article or section needs sources or references that appear in reliable, third-party publications. Alone, primary sources and sources affiliated with the subject of this article are not sufficient for an accurate encyclopedia article. ) to call a service hosted by another cloud provider (e.g. Google) in a managed manner."
Vordel's XML XML
in full Extensible Markup Language.
Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. Gateway is designed to link single applications to multiple cloud services and provide the single-sign on capability mentioned by O'Neill, all without requiring onerous work on the part of developers.
While Vordel's offering is likely useful for many types of customers, O'Neill says his company hasn't tackled the challenge of trying to move applications from one cloud to another, saying "generally that's an unsolved problem across the board."
But there is room for optimism, says Robert Grossman, chairman of the newly formed Open Cloud Consortium and director of the Laboratory for Advanced Computing (LAC) and the National Center for Data Mining The National Center for Data Mining (NCDM) at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) was established in 1998 to serve as a resource for research, standards development, and outreach for high performance and distributed data mining and predictive modeling.

UIC participates in NCAA Division I Horizon League competition as the UIC Flames in several sports, most notably Basketball. .
Grossman says enterprises with private clouds should be able to obtain extra computing resources from any public cloud without changing the API. Even today, the open source Eucalyptus private cloud software is largely compatible with the Amazon API, making it easy to get excess capacity from the Amazon cloud, Grossman says. "If I use Eucalyptus in-house and engineer the application correctly, I can get surge capacity form Amazon," he says.
Moving workloads from one public cloud to another is more difficult because that requires standardized management tools, he says. Exchanging data between clouds is another problem. Just as TCP (1) (Transmission Control Protocol) The reliable transport protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite. TCP ensures that all data arrive accurately and 100% intact at the other end. allows the bridging of two networks, Grossman says he'd like to see an inter-cloud protocol allowing multiple clouds to exchange information.
"People are still trying to their hands around some of the issues," Grossman says. "What we have is a very young, very vibrant, rapidly moving industry that is still sort of sorting itself out," Grossman says. "I think things are trending in the right direction."

Comic novelist Tom Sharpe dies at 85
Tom Sharpe was aptly named, a writer who turned a razor-edged eye for absurdity on everything from the racism of apartheid to the squabbles of academia.
Associated Press
Tom Sharpe was aptly named, a writer who turned a razor-edged eye for absurdity on everything from the racism of apartheid to the squabbles of academia.
The British writer behind a string of comic novels including the campus classic "Porterhouse Blue" has died at 85.
Sharpe's Spanish publisher, Anagrama, said he died Thursday in Llafranc, the Catalan town where he lived. His physician, Dr. Montserrat Verdaguer, said the cause was complications from diabetes.
Sharpe's first novel, the South Africa-set "Riotous Assembly," was published in 1971. He became one of Britain's most popular comic novelists with books that combined satire and farce, including "Blott on the Landscape," the "Wilt" series about a long-suffering college lecturer, and "Porterhouse Blue," set in a fictitious Cambridge University college.
Born in London on March 30, 1928, Sharpe studied at Lancing College and Pembroke College, Cambridge, before serving in the Royal Marines after World War II.
Some of his skeptical outlook may have stemmed from early disillusionment with the ideals of his father, a Unitarian minister and admirer of Adolf Hitler. Sharpe later told a BBC interviewer that when he found out about Nazi atrocities as a teenager, "my mind was blown by the horror of what had been happening."
He sharpened his satirical ax as a young man working as a teacher and social worker in South Africa. He was deported in 1961 after he wrote a play criticizing the apartheid regime.
His comic novels drew on his own experiences in South Africa; in Cambridge, where he studied; and on his time working as a college lecturer.
Both "Blott on the Landscape" and "Porterhouse Blue" were made into TV series.
Susan Sandon, Sharpe's editor at Random House, said he was "witty, often outrageous, always acutely funny about the absurdities of life." She called him "one of our greatest satirists and a brilliant writer."
Sharpe moved from England to Spain in the early 1990s, where he became something of a local celebrity despite his steadfast refusal to learn Spanish.
"I don't want to learn the language. I don't want to hear what the price of meat is," he once said.
Yet Britain did not appeal to him.
"It is so depressing," he said. "I can't bear it. There is no such thing as the English gentleman any more. Money rules everything."
Sharpe's widow, Nancy Looper Sharpe, said she would remember her late husband for his sense of humor, his sense of morality and his love of travel.
She said the writer's ashes would be scattered in Llafranc; in Cambridge; and at a church in his father's home village of Thockrington, northern England, where he spent summers as a child.
