Shelves: non-fiction, history, political
The book arose out of seminar Hitz taught in which "great works of spy fiction are compared to actual espionage operations." As such there is a lot of quoting of espionage fiction in the book, and from the Notes and index one could get a great reading list of such fiction from Rudyard Kipling's Kim to John le Carre, Graham Greene and Tom Clancy. In fact, it may be that as supplying a reading list of such fiction it's at its most useful. On the fact side of things, Hitz is certainly qualified to ...more
Wow, this was a good book! It was interesting having this ex-CIA Director of Opereations(for Europe) compare and contrast good spy literature with real-world spying. Sadly, there were only the publicized cases, of course, and I'm sure he even had to pare those down for security purposes as well. I wish he used more than a handful of authors, though. But, alas, maybe there only is a handful of good authors in the spy genre. Like anything else, 90% is crap and 10% is quality.

The Great Game: Review
There's a good deal of interest in this comparative analysis of spying as it appears in fiction and reality--Frederick P. Hitz had a long history of service in the CIA and the State Department, so he's able to speak as a knowledgeable insider. But is there something in the nature of secret service work that obliges its practitioners to wear blinders in perpetuity? even long after their official career terminates? It's not that Frederick HItz never touches on a moral issue ...more
I didn't care for this book. I thought the writing style to be jumbled and disorganized. I enjoy espionage as a non fiction and fiction genre. I had high hopes for this book. Alas my hopes were dashed.

Shelves: 2012, nonfiction, research
I read this after reading several CIA memoirs (including at least one that this book referenced), and I think I might have liked it better had I read it first. I wished it had dug deeper--it certainly didn't feel like a college-level look at the disparity between real and fictional espionage.
Perhaps the reading list from this course would be a better place to start.

I think I grabbed this book from the give-away pile in my apt lobby but I'm glad I didn't pay for it. The title sounded awesome and it had such good potential, but it was more a summarization of other spy novels and some real-life spy stories. Even that could've made for a good book, but the format was so scattered. I honestly didn't enjoy this at all.
Aug 09, 2011 Jay D rated it 4 of 5 stars · review of another edition
Fascinating read. Compares the basics of espionage and tradecraft with aspects of the classical spy fiction works. Plenty of nuggets of veiled hints, as well as juicy tidbits and conspiracy. A must-read for those who enjoy conspiracy and espionage, as well as literature.

excellent discussion on the multiple facets that it takes to develop and become a professional in the intelligence field. The Author uses literary examples to highlight the differences between reality and popular beliefs.

Comparison of real spycraft and history with fictional stories - an interesting idea but you would have to have a pretty good grasp of each to follow this easily and then it probably would be too simplistic

Oracle database is a relational database management system that mostly complies with ACID transaction requirements ( atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability ). It means that each database transaction will be executed in a reliable, safe and integral manner. In order to comply with ACID Oracle database software implements fairly complex and expensive (in terms of computing resources, i.e., CPU, disk, memory) set of processes like redo and undo logging, memory latching, meta data maintenance etc. that make concurrent work possible, while maintaining data integrity. Any database transaction or even SELECT statement makes relational database systems perform tremendous amounts of work behind the scene, thus making it inherently slow and resource intensive.
Oracle is trying to address scalability and performance problem in a variety of ways:
- by introducing constant performance enhancements to the query optimizer
- Oracle RAC - Real Application Clusters based scale out ( much increased complexity with little practical value in terms of performance and functionality )
- appliances ( Exa* line of products - complex, unbalanced architecture, suboptimally utilized hardware, patched up and repackaged software )
All these attempt still feature performance and scalability bottleneck in shape of Oracle RDBMS and its shared-nothing, or assymmetric MPP ( in case of Exadata ) architecture.
Companies dealing with millions of users, huge volumes of data and needing great performance like Google could not use proprietary RDBMSs. They developed their own solutions, relying on utilizing commodity hardware and open source software. They developed software that can make thousands of Intel boxes behave like a single system that can process your query searching through petabytes of data in sub-second time. This could never be accomplished if they used standard RDBMS like Oracle. RDBMSs were not designed to deal with problems that Google is facing.
Data processing technologies that originated at Google or other places ( including direct Google research descendant Hadoop, NoSQL group of products, etc. ) parallelize work and distribute data over thousands of servers, relax ACID requirement so it now maybe becomes BASE (Basically Available, Soft state, Eventual consistency) i.e., they provide weaker consistency guarantees ( CAP theorem ), they loose relational data structure i.e. basically go back to flat files, or distributed, scalable hash tables. By relaxing, modifying or loosing some properties of RDBMs and optimizing to run on commodity hardware they were able to get results that are good enough in terms of data quality and consistency, while achieving great performance and sufficient accuracy for very basic transactions. Ironically many of these technologies are step backwards i.e. they will end up reinventing many RDBMS features as they mature ( Hadapt - Hadoop based relational database; Hive, Hbase ).
Oracle RDBMS has completely different purpose, i.e., it is targeted for corporate/business use where complex transactions must be accurately executed. Eventually consistent paradigm does not suffice here. While Oracle database can contain huge volumes of multi-media data, its main purpose is to store and concurrently process structured data sets relatively limited in size, for a limited number of concurrent corporate/business users.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Study eyes effects of climate change in Vt.By Josh OGorman
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | June 11,2014BURLINGTON Vermonts warming climate will be a boon to the ski industry in the short term but will cause more extreme weather that will hurt agriculture and infrastructure, according to a report released Tuesday by the University of Vermont.
The Vermont Climate Assessment is the first study to look at climate change at the state level. It traces trends and includes predictions of how continued warming will affect everything from tourism to agriculture.
The climate has already changed substantially in Vermont, said Gillian Galford, a climate scientist with UVMs Gund Institute for Ecological Economics and the lead author of the report. Spring is coming seven days earlier across the state, and that has happened in just the last three decades.
The study which predicts the states temperatures will rise 4 to 8 degrees Fahrenheit by the year 2100 includes a wealth of climate history data from the National Weather Service, as well as local data from farmers such as Ray Allen, who owns an apple orchard in South Hero and whose trees are blooming a full week earlier than they did in 1970.
Im very thankful for global warming, because 17,000 years ago we were under 2½ to 3 miles of ice, and that would make it hard to grow apples, Allen said wryly. But the speed its happening now is too much.
Allen noted that while the growing season is longer, his trees are susceptible to more extreme crop-killing weather than in the past.
Julie Nash, a doctoral candidate at UVM who wrote the section of the study dealing with agriculture, said the higher temperatures mean farmers will be able to plant new crops, such as grapes or peaches, but increased spring flooding will force farmers to delay their planting.
Andy Nash, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Burlington, said his records show an increase in extreme weather. Since 2000, Vermont has seen 20 official disaster declarations, including nine in the past four years, with 80 percent of the declarations due to flooding.
With higher temperatures come warmer winters. Nash referred to this past winter, which many Vermonters saw as being particularly cold but would have been typical for the 1930s through the 50s.
What happened is, with climate change, were becoming more acclimated to warmer winters, Nash said.
Sam Carlson is a UVM graduate student who wrote the studys chapter on how climate change will affect tourism and recreation.
Overall, its a positive outlook for recreation and tourism, which I was surprised to find, said Carlson, who said the ski industry is entering a climate change sweet spot as precipitation is expected to increase, especially in mountain areas where it will fall as snow.
Within 40 years, however, higher temperatures will cause that precipitation to fall as rain instead, Carlson said.
It is unclear what Vermonters can do to halt climate change. According to Galford, 99.9 percent of scientists concur that climate change is caused by the introduction of carbon into the atmosphere as a result of the use of fossil fuels. However, as the state with the third most forest coverage, Vermont is already essentially carbon neutral, Galford said.
David Blittersdorf, CEO of AllEarth Renewables, said slowing climate change would require radical changes, not just for Vermonters but for everyone, such as clustered development to allow people to abandon their cars and use mass transportation.
We need revolution, not evolution, said Blittersdorf, who also proposed taxing carbon emissions at $100 a ton. I drive a Prius, but thats not going to move the needle.

Various street paintings by artist David De La Mano. More below.
This week's giveaway is something completely different; art generated from your very own DNA. Fast Company, and Vice recently wrote about a New York-based company called Genetic Ink offering wall-ready art sequenced from a swab of the cheek. The service is not limited to humans either, DNA from dogs and cats works as well.
I can see this freaking out as many people as it will fascinate. I remember artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg raised eyebrows with her series of 3D faces generated from DNA found on gum, cigarettes, and hair that she picked up off the street.
Generative art based on personal data has to be the most relevant depiction of the times we are living in. This is the age of algorithms, data visualisation, and everything private made public. I would love to see this data interpreted in completely different styles; perhaps less design-y and more painterly. DNA as a Kandinsky painting could be cool.
If you wanna know what you'd look like as a piece of generative art, we're giving away a personalized print (24×32). What's the most amazing use of science in art that you've seen? Leave a comment with your answer and we'll pick a winner on Friday, June 6th.

Love these recent murals by Blu, on the streets of Italy. This first one especially! More images below.
For the past ten years Philadelphia-based artist Kim Alsbrooks has been painting miniature portraits on trash. Her series "My White Trash Family" began when she became interested in historical biases in art, and specifically portraits painted during the watercolor on ivory era (17th-18th century).
Alsbrooks finds trash that has already been flattened on the street, and chooses a portrait to fit each specific piece of trash. She gessoes them, draws the image in graphite, paints with oils and varnishes.
Have a look at a selection of her paintings below.
The latest episode of the interview series "Like Knows Like" features New York-based illustrator Victo Ngai. I've followed her work for awhile so it was great to hear her talk about her work (and sing some Backstreet Boys). If you missed it, I previously posted Victo's work here and here.

Childhood Sex Abuse May Be Associated with the Risk of Heart Disease in Women: Study Reveals
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Indrani Bhattacharyya | July 18, 2014 1:39 PM EST
An interesting study reveals that middle-aged women who got sexually abused during their childhood may show premature symptoms of heart ailment.
"Early life adversities may have implications for the development of risk factors for heart disease during midlife," said lead researcher Rebecca Thurston, director of the Women's Biobehavioral Health Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh.
Naseema Dar (R), a 40-year-old "half-widow", sits next to her 14-year-old daughter Shabnum Mehraj and a photo of her husband Mehraj-ud-Din Dar in their house in Srinagar March 4, 2011. Naseema, a mother of two, is one of Kashmir's hundreds of "half-widows" -- women whose husbands have disappeared in 22 years of armed conflict with New Delhi. The Association for Parents of Disappeared Persons (APDP), an independent group fighting for the whereabouts of these missing relatives, says more than 8,000 people have gone missing, most of them following their arrests by Indian security forces in the troubled Kashmir region since a rebellion broke out at the end of 1989. Indian authorities, however, deny the allegations and argue that most of the missing persons have crossed the heavily militarised Line of Control, which divides Kashmir between India and Pakistan, for arms training. At least 2,000 of these disappeared people were married and nearly all were male and young at the time of their disappearances, the APDP adds. Most "half-widows" are from lower-income Muslim families and according to Islamic rules cannot remarry for at least seven years after their husbands go missing. "Many such women ... have been forced to leave their in-laws' homes and some of them returned to their parents," says Parveena Ahanger, a founder of APDP. "And others are lonely, struggling hard to rebuild their lives. Even after seven years of long wait men hesitate to marry such women. Many of them (men) fear their husbands may return one day."
The work was pubished online on July 17 in the journal Stroke.
A collective data of 1,400 white, black, Hispanic and Chinese women who were aged between 42 and 52 was analysed to come to that conclusion.
It was observed that women who were sexually abused during childhood represented signs of hardening of the arteries in their neck, a marker that signals onset of heart disease. It was absent in women who weren't sexually abused.
This report specified that the study doesn't prove that child sexual abuse directly causes heart disease but there is an association between the two aspects.
"To prove cause-and-effect, you would have to have a randomized trial assigning some girls to abuse and others not, which obviously one would not do. "All research around child abuse and health outcomes are purely associational," Thurston explained.
To date, it remains unclear what factors are responsible for the association, there may be changes in the nervous system or an excess of stress hormones. Also some of these women may indulge in riskier health behaviours.
"It's a question of safeness a woman feels with her doctors. This is a very sensitive area, and there has to be trust when a woman discusses these issues with her doctor. But if she has that kind of trust, it would be worth mentioning," she suggested.
Every doctor should know the importance of psychosocial risk factors while understanding the risk of heart disease in women.
Experts feel, it is not surprising for the woman who experienced something as traumatic as sexual abuse during childhood to suffer from increased cardiovascular risk as the trauma did leave them with a life time damage.
In the study, the participants were asked if they had suffered any physical or sexual abuse. They were tested annually for a number of risk factors for heart disease.
"About 16 percent of all the women said they had been sexually abused. Among black women, up to 20 percent reported being sexually abused," the researchers said.

Duchess Kate recently hit up Topshop to buy maternity clothes, but the pregnant royal still recycled one of her favorite outfits when she arrived at the National Fishing Heritage Centre in Grimsby, England, on Tuesday.
Sporting the same Hobbs "Celeste" coat she donned during a public appearance in Liverpool in February 2012, the 31-year-old wore a Great Plains dress and black heels.
PHOTOS: How Duchess Kate is getting ready to be a mom
As a result of the heavy fog, Middleton traveled to the engagement via helicopter instead of by train. "There are a number of factors taken into consideration when it comes to royal engagements," St. James' Palace explained. "It depends on what the member of the royal family is doing before or after and how long the journey takes. It was decided that the most suitable way to travel to Grimsby was to come by helicopter."
Prince William's wife received a bouquet of flowers from 3-year-old Lucy Bell on her way inside the building. She chatted with admirers, including 42-year-old Bobbie Brown. "I asked her if [the baby] has been moving or kicking," Brown recalled. "She said: 'Yes, it is. Very much so.'"
Paula Rampling, 34, gave the pregnant royal two unisex baby outfits, wrapped in a cute gift bag. "Thank you!" Middleton told her. "That's so cute." Middleton spent most of her time talking with young children. "You can tell she'll be a good mother," Rampling said. "She's not missed out one kid. She's lovely."
Middleton was then escorted inside the National Fishing Heritage Centre by operations manager Sue Marshall. During her visit, Middleton also will visit the Peaks Lane Fire Station run by Humberside Fire and Rescue Service, and she will officially open Havelock Academy secondary school.
Two days before her public engagement, the first-time mother-to-be was photographed in the Swiss Alps with her husband and her brother-in-law, Prince Harry. While the brothers were spotted skiing in the afternoon, the duchess was photographed walking downhill.

The snowy outing came just one day after the royal trio attended Olympian Laura Bechtolsheimer's wedding to athlete Mark Tomlinson in Switzerland.

Shark visits LB Harbour Towers
Date: May 14, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
Connecticut resident Melissa DiGalbo, who is currently staying on Longboat Key, snapped this photo of a shark Thursday, May 7, on the beach outside of Longboat Harbour Towers.
Beachgoers said that they had spoken to officials at Mote Marine Laboratory, who identified it as a blacktip shark. The shark swam approximately 10 to 15 feet away from shore. After a few minutes outside of Longboat Harbour Towers, the shark headed north.

First post here from a new member. I myself have a tobacco burst SE Singlecut with trem that I adore. I actually sold off my US Gibson when I got the SE.
My horrible pics...
I need so many more!
I really want to make upgrades to my Singlecut but it is a very new platform for me. I would like to go with locking tuners, new nut, and to lockout the bridge. Not sure if I can handle any of those tasks myself.
Maybe something like the Nailbomb would be better suited (in the bridge), not that the Aftermath cant handle that but its a very dry, midhumped pickup and also very tight. Though a lot of metal is tight some styles require a more organic sound-hence the nailbomb suggestion. The painkiller in the neck would be great but if you want a more buttery pickup in there then the Coldsweat would be good :-) hope that helps?
Btw modestglok26-nice gtr!
No worries man- you wont be dissapointed!
Figured I'd start my first post here with a pic.
I regrettably sold the Tremonti a few months ago, but still have the 25th Cu24. I will be getting a 245 on Monday though :)
Oh, if anyone has the amber quilt 25th Cu24 and wants to trade for my blue one, let me know ;)
This is my first post here but I was pretty active on BAM and I'm on the other PRS forums.
I don't have any of these SE's anymore and I regret having to part with them (particularly the SE EG and the Floyded Singlecut)
All of them (except the SE EG) were modded with CTS 500k pots, Orange Drop caps, & Switchcraft toggles
1. PRS SE Singlecut, black cherry. Modded with gold hardware and Wilkinson bridge.
2. PRS SE EG, white. Modded with EMG SA's with mid boost control, Planet Waves locking tuners, scratch built pickguard (so I could add the mid boost pot and move the volume pot away from the bridge pup)
3. PRS Santana SE, trans black. Modded with HFS & VB pups, push/pull tone pot for coil split, Phase II tuners, refinished headstock with PRS decal.
4. PRS SE Singlecut, sunburst. Modded with Floyd Rose tremolo, added 2nd volume pot, push/pull pots for coil splits, nickel pup covers, and refinished headstock with PRS decal.
SE is on the left, CE24 is on the right
During the routing process:
Right now my two main guitars are an '03 Singlecut goldtop with RP's and a '95 CE24 with a piezo. I'm really liking the ne Tremoti SE Custom that was just released in the UK. Maybe I can snag one soon.
I have a Singlecut with trem that I'm wanting to mod but I'm not sure where to start. I think I really want to try the tremel-no out and new pups as well as some locking tuners but I'm still in the learning process as far as mods go. This site is a great place for some amazing ideas.
I swapped out the pups on my Semi-Hollow body SE for a set of ToneRider AC2 Classics. Andrew Cunningham did a nice job with those. They sound great. They have the Alnico 2 magnets in them, so the sustain is a lot longer than the stronger Alnico's. I haven't split the coils yet. Thinking about that. I tried a test with them using alligator clips/wire to ground them together and see how that sounded. Pretty darn good. But, if I really want that Strat sound, I'll just pick up my Strat and play that for now.
Here's my baby in action, "Maximus".
she's a beaut
A little Sunday SE action... picked up the matching cab to the 30 head last weekend to round out the rig!
Want to trade for the blue one from that year? :D
A really bad pic of a really decent guitar --
I have had the Planet Waves put on 5 guitars now, and soon another one when it comes in.
The Autotrim tuners rock, only downside is the redrilling.
those SE's were donated by Xandao from O Rappa and are going for auction here in Brazil to raise funds for a association that helps poor kids study music.
all of them were painted by Fabio Ema

The word 'resilience' is becoming widespread even among the general public. At Architecture for Humanity, we have discussed our version of the definition. We are (re)building affected communities that suffered from natural disasters and chronic social issues to have a better, stronger, more socially and environmentally sustainable future.
On October 30th 2014, our Haiti team gathered with the students of the École Argentine, their teachers and director to celebrate the opening of the second phase of the school.
The school's primary objective is to provide quality education to low-income families from flood-affected communities and students from the Arroz Barato community and surrounding settlements will be the primary beneficiaries.
As a first step in engaging Ile a Vache in the development and creation of a 10-year investment plan, Architecture for Humanity partnered with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to conduct participatory community development planning. This partnership was formed in response to an RFP released by the foundation as part of their 10-year commitment to several communes in Haiti.
