Putin needs to pay a price, says Burns. Photo: (Getty/Hannah Peters)
In a new episode of Political Wire's podcast, we spoke with Nicholas Burns, a longtime ambassador and now a professor at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, about the Russia-Ukraine crisis and about the role that America should play as a world leader in the era of globalization.
Here are five takeaways:
1. We're not quite back into a Cold War, even if it seems as if we are. The media has continually suggested that America and Russia may have re-entered the Cold War in the wake of the Ukraine crisis. But the U.S. isn't in a protracted state of nuclear tensions with a communist superpower anymore. So it's a stretch to say that Cold War is back. But Burns said there are some echoes of it: "President Putin has used brute force to take over a piece of territory that wasn't his. And he's drawn new lines in Europe, so it feels a little bit like the Cold War that I remember back in the 1970s and 1980s."
2. Obama should toughen sanctions on Russia, but he's right not to pursue military action. Military action is simply a non-starter, Burns said. "Russia is a nuclear-weapons power. We are. It would be catastrophic to make this kind of a man-to-man duel, and the president wisely is not doing that." Burns also noted that the U.S. doesn't have a security commitment to Ukraine since the latter isn't in NATO. On the other hand, Burns argued, Obama could be more aggressive on the sanctions front. The current sanctions, consisting of travel bans for a couple of dozen Russian officials and bank-account freezes, just doesn't cut it, Burns said: "I don't think that Putin felt it was going to intimidate him in any way, and that's what you've got to do. You've got to make him pay economically, isolate him politically, there's got to be a cost."
3. Trust is key in foreign relations. Putin's actions have shattered that trust for a long time. Trust "doesn't mean you agree on everything, but it means that when some leader tells you something that he or she is going to commit to do something for you that it's going to happen," Burns said. Even though there was a modicum of trust between the U.S. and Putin after 9/11, that trust was damaged when Russia didn't follow up on its promise to work closely with the U.S., Burns lamented. Now, with the Ukraine crisis, that trust may never come back as long as Putin is in power. "How can you trust a leader now, like Vladimir Putin, who invades another country and then formally annexes it?" Burns said. "We haven't seen this kind of blatant, brazen behavior since the 1930s in Europe." The loss of trust between the two nations could imperil their ability to work together on other high-profile matters such as the global economy and nuclear security.
4. The White House should reconsider its proposed defense budget cuts. In the weeks leading up to the crisis, the president proposed significant cuts to the Pentagon budget, including a reduction in the size of the Army to its smallest size since before World War II. But Putin's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine underscores why the U.S. still needs a strong military, Burns argued. "I really think the Obama administration now needs to reconsider that budget," Burns said. Maintaining a sizable military — the greatest in the world — will help the U.S. carry a more assertive presence in the world, particularly in Europe and Asia, he said. With the potential for Putin to continue pressing into Ukraine, "we have 16 European allies in NATO who are counting on us to be strong enough to deter whatever President Putin has in mind," Burns said. And China is asserting itself more aggressively in Asia and the Pacific. The U.S. is still the guarantor of peace in that part of the world, Burns said. "We can't afford to have a military that's so reduced in capacity that it can't fulfill that mission," Burns said.
5. Embracing full-blown isolationism would endanger national security and economic prosperity. Burns is sympathetic to Americans who have grown weary of continual U.S. involvement in conflicts abroad. After all, the Afghanistan and Iraq wars have dragged on for more than a decade, costing thousands of American soldiers' lives and billions upon billions of dollars. Meanwhile, as the U.S. economy continues its slow but steady recovery, Americans feel the need to undertake more nation-building at home, Burns said. As a result, isolationist factions have been rising in both major political parties. But pulling ourselves back in the era of globalization is dangerous, Burns said. The world is "highly integrated, it requires a forward presence outside the United States of many of our troops to hopefully not to fight…but to safeguard peace," he argued. Moreover: "Our economy is all tied up in the economies of Europe and Asia."

Another valuable piece to the networking puzzle is the training and support programs that networking vendors are offering to resellers. Resellers realize there's a huge opportunity to sell small-business networking products and services, but many have struggled with implementing the right solutions and getting in touch with entrepreneurial needs.
Some networking companies, including Cisco Systems and Hewlett-Packard, are making moves to beef up their relationships with resellers. For example, Cisco offers advanced training on small-business networking through its Cisco University program and has created new software tools to help resellers custom-configure solutions for small companies.
Add up all the changes, and it's not hard to see that real progress has been made in the entrepreneurial networking arena. Indeed, improvements have been fashioned on all ends of the spectrum, from better products to improved integration and support. If you haven't yet made the jump to a company network, now may be the right time.

Is fasting blood sugar of 56 too low?
- Q: My fasting blood sugar this morning was 56. Is this too low? It's been 85 to 95. I've been on a sugarless/carbless/fatless regime for 30 days.
- A: A sugarless, carbless, fatless diet is not safe. Your body needs carbohydrates and fat to function properly. A blood glucose level of less than 70 is considered hypoglycemic. The American Diabetes Association recommends a target preprandial (fasting) blood glucose level of 70-130mg/dl. Severe hypoglycemia is life-threatening; a seizure or coma is also possible. The early signs of hypoglycemia are: dizziness, shakiness, sweating, hunger, irritability, nervousness, headache, and pounding heartbeat. If the symptoms of hypoglycemia occur you should take glucose tablets or eat or drink something sweet to raise your blood glucose. Severe caloric restriction and protein-only diets can cause many health problems and in some cases brain or kidney damage. In addition, rapid weight loss does not result in long-term weight control. The best way to lose weight is through a healthy diet and exercise. A healthy diet is high in vegetables, fruit, and whole grains, and low in simple carbohydrates (starches), sweets, junk food, sugary drinks, and processed foods. Exercising for 30 to 60 minutes most days of the week will help you lose weight, and decrease your risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Burton Dunaway, PharmD

Good evening, Netizens…
If we, as adults, could only imagine having such things as adult fairy tales, perhaps this evening's cartoon by David Horsey might be even more of an entertainment event than the cartoon itself.
What if, for example, we suddenly endured a category 3 hurricane here in Spokane, an event that by itself is a bit preposterous. Mind you, I didn't suggest it was impossible, just slightly ridiculous. If one can imagine having a tropical storm suddenly make its appearance on our ill-fated version of the evening weather forecasts, all kinds of hell would break loose as meteorologists attempted to explain just how that happened.
But in keeping with David Horsey's cartoon, what would happen if, our imaginary hurricane were to suddenly clean our benighted local government out while it wended its way back toward the ocean? Neat as a pin it might pick up the Mayor, the nefarious Council President, the majority of the City Council and the City Attorney's office up and sweep them all out to sea, neatly rearranging our upcoming election for the voters without so much as a by thee well.
Now what would the news media call THAT?
They more than likely would sputter a bit before calling it an unprecedented disaster or some other suitably solemn-sounding description complete with four-inch headlines. However, being a somewhat unwashed member of the Fourth Estate, I would most likely pause for reflection and then term it divine intervention, and let the Divine take the blame for the aftermath that would most certainly follow.
Yes, it is a fairy tale. No, no hurricanes are coming to clean out the Stygian mess we have in local government. The only solution which seems to have a chance of cleaning up the mess for either David Horsey's fanciful cartoon or my interpretation thereof is the voters taking action.
Of course, your fairy tales may differ, and from them, your results may differ as well.
Good afternoon, Netizens…
Like a vaunted knight of old, I have been futilely railing at Queen Mary Verner, Joe Shogun, Rocky Treppiedi, Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick and a host of other high-ranking city officials for what may seem like a lifetime to some, and until very recently, it would seem that I was wasting my breath and time. However, in today's paper, someone lit the fuse beneath Jonathan Brunt, reporter for the Spokesman-Review, and he posted what I feel is one of the most-informative, honest and dead-on stories about the murder of Otto Zehm since this entire ugly affair first hit our fair city.
We are getting closer to the truth, and Brunt may have shown us the pathway to follow. Read the entire piece, including the comments (of which there are many) here:
As in most criminal affairs, it all comes down to who knew, when did they know and why is it only now we, the citizens, are hearing bits and pieces of the truth?
The citizens of our fair city can either sit on their hams and watch City Hall rearrange the facts to suit themselves, thus keeping the people in the dark, or the citizens can take action at the ballot box. One way or the other, it is time for action. Of course, your thoughts on this matter may differ.
Good evening, Netizens…
Last Monday night we saw, once again, the bombastic, nastiness that City Council President Joe Shogun brings to the performance of his job. Although Shogun evicted George McGrath and mispoke David Brookbank's name twice or more, at least he didn't evict Ron the Cop this time around.
I suppose someday we will see some kind of political retrospect of our present City Council meetings; we'll call it "Joe Shogun in Review". In retrospect after Monday's exhibition of The Joe Shogun show we probably should call it the George McGrath show, although he already has his own radio show. Eluding that thought, perhaps we should call it the "David Broadband" report, I mean the David Brookbank report. It is truly ridiculous that Joe Shogun couldn't get David's name right several times in succession, much less that he evicted George McGrath from the City Council meeting when George McGrath insisted that Otto Zehm was murdered. Oh? You mean to tell me that poor Otto Zehm's death wasn't a murder at the hands of various police officers? That surely is news to me.
However, as David Brookbank observed, Joe Shogun tends to be abusive to the citizens who make the mistake of approaching the Spokane City Council during public forum, and I do most strenuously agree. In all fairness, since I have ostensibly crowned Mayor Mary Verner Queen Mary for her lack of diligence and not being forthright with her constituents, I think it only fair we name Joe Shogun Joe the Tyrant for his deplorable behavior in public.
The only exception that comes to mind when considering Joe the Tyrant's rules of "no clapping, no whistling" during public forum might take place once I see that Joe the Tyrant (who I am told still fears snipers on rooftops) is no longer in office.
Even mediocre attorneys, including Rocky Treppiedi, should adhere to standards of good taste, and both he and Joe the Tyrant are tasteless public servants, despite being attorneys.
Good morning, Netizens…
Imagine, if you will, a street scene in Spokane, where the warm August afternoon lays across the city like a lazy courtesan, granting her favors to some but not all our residents.
A gang unit police car, always eagerly sniffing the air for errant activity in our neighborhood, smoothly idles down the summer street, and spying a young woman dressed in a gang hoody, he pauses beside her on the street and rolling down his passenger window, politely asks her name, where she lives and where she is going. From my vantage point, I can see him typing on the terminal inside the car, perhaps verifying who she might be.
Another day, perhaps, he might have put her inside the sterile cocoon of the squad car, but today he simply concluded his conversation, watching her closely as she continued up the street, ostensibly toward her destination. Or perhaps she was who she stated, albeit dressed in gang attire, walking down the sidewalk in a benign neighborhood, minding her own business and trying to avoid trouble. With a clash of technology, he suddenly accelerates, and within a few minutes I see him dashing up the next street down, once more in the hunt for someone who perhaps fits a profile that he recognizes as someone who is up to no good.
As the afternoon continues waning, the birds in the trees begin quieting down for the evening, the kids on their bicycles that have been eagerly moving up and down the avenue in a madcap manner for most of the day, have nearly all headed for home and the genteel tranquility of the neighborhood slowly begins delicately slowing down to its evening serenity.
It was nearly dusk when I heard an approaching young woman's voice from up the street singing, and so I remained in my chair on the front lawn the better to see what this might be about. As she passed by I could discern she was perhaps 14 or 15 years of age, with long red pigtails, riding her bicycle, and singing the National Anthem in her delicate voice, as she hustled down the street on her way to somewhere in the evening dusk. Perhaps sensing me sitting in the shadow of the bushes, she stands upright on her bike's pedals and increases her speed as she moves across the intersection and on down the avenue. She could have sung anything and I probably would not have recalled it later, but even as she crossed a block down from where I sat, I could still hear her singing as she passed through the evening ether.
When it transparently fell from dusk to nearly darkness, and still contemplating the young woman riding her bike and singing our National Anthem, I finally withdrew for the night, and rejoined my family gathered around the kitchen table. When I related the sight of the young girl singing as she rode through the dusk, and the song she chose to sing as she traveled down the street, my family understood how it had touched me, and left me satisfied, like I had just had a good meal.
Life doesn't get much better than this, I guess.
Good morning, Netizens…
Is this morning's David Horsey cartoon depicting truth or speculation?
Granted, our national unemployment has risen to nearly an all-time high of 9.2%, while Mexican unemployment has remained at 4.9%, both facts which remain in question as to whether or not they retain accuracy. However, I haven't seen any statistical evidence that illegal Mexican immigrants are leaving the country in droves, rather I suspect the numbers of illegal immigrants crossing the border into the United States may be largely unchanged in recent months.
Since we are unflinchingly delving into speculative statistics, however, what would happen to our current national unemployment statistical base, if we were able to do so, were we to gather up every immigrant illegally in the United States? Would our employment suddenly ascend like a rocket to Mars?
Would farmers, somewhat dependent upon Mexican illegals for their harvests, simply find another method of acquiring temporary farm hands?
I also suspect that the closer one moves toward the Mexican-United States border, the number of illegal immigrants migrating back across the border into Mexico would decrease. The "coyotes" who are responsible for helping so many illegal immigrants cross the border for a fee are, simply put, too well organized and vastly more efficient than the U.S. Border Patrol.
I just cannot envision a horde of illegal immigrants crossing the border into Mexico. Perhaps the mob of quasi-legal immigrants bailing out of the United States depicted by David Horsey hasn't happened yet. Let our economy worsen a few more points and perhaps it might happen. Of course, your results and opinions may differ.
Good evening, Netizens…
At some considerable risk of having this message zotted by my handlers, I am going to post this message from former Sheriff Tony Bamonte to Tim Durkin, Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Washington. I am posting it verbatim, in its entirety, in the hopes that others might read and carefully consider Mr. Bamonte's impeccable comments regarding the murder of Otto Zehm. I knew from the beginning that something was horribly wrong about the initial police version of what had transpired, and recent developments make me even more certain we were misled from the beginning.
So, without further ado, here is former Sheriff Tony Bamonte's letter:
Dear Mr. Durkin:
Please accept this correspondence as a formal complaint against the following people: Spokane Mayor Mary Verner, Spokane Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick, Spokane City Attorney Howard Delaney, and assistant city attorney Rocky Trepeddi. I am making my complaint to you because of your involvement and knowledge about the Zehm case. I ask that you forward this complaint to the attorney general for his approval. I believe you already have strong evidence to prove that, in harmony with each other, the above community leaders have conspired to mislead and have deceived the public for over five years. This concerns what appears to be the brutal killing of an innocent citizen by a police officer. The evidence of this has been overwhelming and exceptionally clear. I am especially concerned about Mayor Verner's conduct in the case. In her position she is the only public official in the city with the power to remove the city attorney and the police chief for criminal behavior, yet, to this date, has taken no action of any kind.
Most important, in the positions each of these officials occupy, it was their duty to find and know the truth and protect the public. Instead, I allege each one of them knew the truth, yet in violation of their oaths and with complete disregard for the public's welfare, publicly lied and concealed this felony crime. Further, I believe that the officers involved had to have been directed by their legal council to lie. The complicity of Mayor Verner and Chief Kirkpatrick is profound. Their failure to know the facts behind this case is unbelievable as they are both attorneys involved in one of Spokane's largest scandals. Why would the mayor of Washington's second largest city, make the public statement "In my opinion, … I just don't think that the behavior of the officer rose to criminal behavior"?
In her position, this was a criminal act and violation of her oath of office in a direct attempt to deceive the public. I am a 25-year veteran of law enforcement, having served eight years on the Spokane Police Department and 12 years as the elected sheriff of Pend Oreille County. Consequently, I clearly recognize how government works, who will have the facts as fast as they become available, and who makes the decisions in high-profile cases such as this. This constitutes a number of criminal acts and is willful and wanton disregard for the safety of our community by Mayor Verner.
There is an established pattern of Spokane's public officials lying to the public and committing serious crimes that go uncharged or prosecuted. Now, you have irrefutable evidence that Spokane's top officials have became part of a cover-up by our police department of a senseless killing. It appears they will not have to answer for their crimes. It looks that Deputy Nicks struck a deal to protect the main suspects. I hope that's not the case.
Again, please accept this letter as a formal complaint to investigate and charge these public officials with violating whatever laws they have broken – the list is long.
Tony Bamonte
Good morning, Netizens…
The preliminary results are in for the primary election and Queen Mary Verner has taken a substantial lead over David Condon by 61% of the votes for Verner compared to Condon's 32%. The voters have spoken, and have chosen to ignore Mayor Verner's culpability and/or knowledge of the Otto Zehm affair. In a low-news-week, that by itself would be significant, but the voters do not seem to remember Otto Zehm as much as remembering our Mayor's deft avoidance of what she knew, when she knew it, and her involvement with the Spokane police involved in Zehm's murder.
Of course, I'll never forget the deplorable condition we currently find our city budget in these days. Or the dreadful mess of snow removal and street repair. But I have Queen Mary's masterful manipulation of City Hall public relations to convince me these are both minor issues.
If she is elected next November, it would break the unspoken rule that most Spokane Mayors in the past have been elected for one term.
This could be one of the most interesting mayoral elections in many years. Then I am also closely watching the Fagan-McKereghan results for City Council, as well, as I informally interviewed McKereghan some time back and found her to be an intellectual heavyweight in a town seemingly filled with mediocre political hacks. Of course, your results may differ.
Good morning, Netizens…
I have always been taught that if you want to comprehend the chaos and pandemonium of an election year, you should pay chose attention to the various candidates for the political party you find most objectionable. Given the wild swings in the national opinion polls, I nearly always veer suddenly away from the Republican Party. For that matter, given the morass in which we find our economy at the moment, I guess I'm also veering away from the Democratic Party, as well.
This morning's David Horsey cartoon bluntly asks, is America ready for another President from Texas? Can Rick Perry defeat President Obama in the race to be our next President?
First, he has to beat Mitt Romney whom it has been said is a Ken Doll, all plastic and eager to bend his beliefs. Michelle Bachman, by comparison, is a shrill harpy, with no real accomplishments, despite winning the Ohio Straw Poll. The rest of the Republican candidates are puppy dog eager to please their perceived constituents, but they can hardly be taken seriously, in my opinion. Don't even ask me about Newt Gingrich, as I find him personally repulsive and a hypocrite. Ron Paul might have some of the ideas, but none of the charisma.
There are several comparisons between Rick Perry and former President Bush, Jr., among them where they stand on Social Security. Bush wanted to privatize it, but Perry has stated Social Security and Medicare are unconstitutional, socialistic schemes that usurp the powers of state governments. We should be watching the Republican Party Platform closely, given Perry's statements, as I feel a sudden chill in the air.
David Horsey has stated, and his cartoon implies that Perry is a giant-sized version of Bush. If you liked Bush, you probably will wax ecstatic over Perry.
Horsey also asks, "Bush pandered to the right wing on guns, abortion, small government and cutting taxes. But he let the federal deficit skyrocket as he followed the single mission that seemed to genuinely engage him, the war on terror. Perry doesn't merely pander, he believes. He has delighted the pro-gun lobby by brandishing a pistol in public, enraptured the small government crowd by hinting that secession is a solution to federal intrusions and helped turn up the heated Obama-is-a-socialist rhetoric as the Tea Party gathered steam." Could Perry have the necessary steam to push the Republican locomotive over the hill into the White House?
Meanwhile, our national economy is teetering while the Republicans make a political football out of Obama's tactics. The net result is we are not getting anywhere soon. Of course, your opinions may differ.

I have been asked for possible date(s) to hold a Gathering this month, and to be utterly honest, both Jeanie's and my schedule are so chaotic as to make planning such a thing into a major migraine headache. Having said all that, Tuesday the 23rd and Thursday the 25th both seem like likely suspects. It fits in with Jeanie's schedule, it fits in with mine, and I believe Marty might not object. 8-)
Since our first Gathering, back in the day, was held at Franklin Park, weather permitting, I think that might be a good place to invoke the Gathering of the Tribes. If everyone can agree on a date, I'll see if I can reserve a piece of real estate (such as a shelter) from the powers-that-be on whatever date we can agree on.
Don't bother digging your tuxedo out of the closet; this is strictly a come-as-you-are affair. Food may or may not be available, but no fair mixing those nasty margaritas beneath the trees and attempting to make them appear by magic. Magic, for that matter, will be strictly disallowed, although anyone old enough to remember their many contributions from a different era may feel free to invoke the spirits of Roger Erdman, John King and various others who have played such a part in events of the past.
So, let us know what will work with your schedule.
Good morning, Netizens…
To quote the Spokesman-Review's Shawn Vestal, in speaking of Jim Nicks' erratic and misleading trip to the truth regarding the death of Otto Zehm, "It took just five years, 20 weeks and a day." That, folks, is just too damned long for a so-called leader of Spokane's Police Department, let alone any leader of government.
Oh, I am reasonably certain, given the opportunity, to reel his statements made at the time, Jim Nicks would probably gleefully take back everything he said about Officer Karl Thompson's assault on Otto Zehm, but this that isn't going to happen. The cat is out of the bag, and the truth is pretty ugly. A police officer, our Acting Chief at the time, lied to everyone, either by omission or by intent. He should have looked carefully at the videotape from the Zip Trip before he opened his mouth, and he did not.
Shawn Vestal's fact-filled article, which is located at http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2011/aug/10/shawn-vestal-truth-about-zehm-sure-took-a-while/ pretty much says it all.
For the sake of absolute clarity, what this is not about is the rank-and-file policemen and policewomen who put their lives on the line every day in their performance of their duties. Their thankless and often dangerous job is a mean, ugly job. They serve as human garbage disposal experts combined with social workers extraordinaire; they deal with the dregs of society that none of us are capable nor eager to contend with, and yet deal with compassion with those of society in need. That pretty much describes their jobs, and I, for one, will not disparage their efforts.
No, the Otto Zehm death is all about a handful of police commanders who lied, and perhaps even attempted to cover it up. Particularly the lies started with Jim Nicks and Karl Thompson. In the words of our current police chief, Anne Kirkpatrick, "You lie, you die." Will anyone in Spokane's City government have the temerity to hold Kirkpatrick to her word?
It is time to excise the cancer. Five years is too long to wait.
Good morning, Netizens…
There was a sort of an earthquake hit the Spokane region last Friday, and as of yesterday, hardly anyone is talking about it. Oh, sure the news media have been vapidly referencing the tersely-worded announcement and somnolent quotes from the Department of Financial Institutions. I am speaking, of course, of the shutdown of the Bank of Whitman formerly of Colfax, Washington, which sent yet another tremor of fear through the Spokane regional marketplace.
As of Monday harried employees of the Columbia Banking Systems Inc. of Tacoma, which has purchased control of some, not all, assets of the former Bank of Whitman attempted to reassure former patrons of the Colfax-based bank. Their money is safe, guaranteed by the FDIC, and they can continue banking under the new system without fear. Although no records are available showing how many former clients of the Bank of Whitman are bailing out of the new bank, I suspect the number is much higher than we are being told.
The bottom line is we are seeing the logical outcome of the mind-boggling descent of the national economy in action, among other things. In recent years, the former Bank of Whitman underwrote many high-end commercial real estate developments, some of which did not quite turn out the way their developers had expected, due to the downturn in the economy. When loans do not get paid, when major business developments enter into default, the FDIC begins watching things closely.
In the towns of Lacrosse, Endicott, Washtucna, Lind, Pomeroy, Mattawa, Rosalia, Royal City, Warden, Pasco and Kennewick, the doors of the Bank of Whitman are now closed, as they are now owned by the FDIC and not part of the asset purchase by the Columbia Banking Systems. Some employees will lose their jobs entirely, along with any benefits they may have accrued. I would imagine a financial chill has inexorably begun descending upon some of these towns for, until recently, The Bank of Whitman was the only bank in town for most of the smaller burgs.
An old and tested axiom states, all that glitters is not gold. Developers of some of certain huge commercial real estate should take note. Don't build edifices you cannot immediately sell, lease or rent; don't even think about asking a banker about it. Of course, your opinions may differ.
Good afternoon Netizens…
Upon reading a genuinely-moving piece by the Spokesman's Shawn Vestal Saturday morning about life minus his Smart phone I suddenly felt vindicated, for I have resisted all efforts by anyone involved in convincing me I needed one of those devices. I have a Dumb phone in that it is a phone only and have relentlessly hung onto it for some of the same reasons that Shawn has mentioned in his piece. My Dumb Phone is a telephone, and although it does have most of the Internet features, they are disabled. I don't do text messaging because if I have something important to say, I will speak at length about what is on my mind.
Since I get paid for sitting in front of a computer for nearly seven days out of seven, I truly do not want a phone that would keep me in that nefarious place, trapped inexorably before an uncaring piece of electronic gadgetry that serves largely to distract me. Granted, I do love my work, do it gleefully and with a certain amount of skill, which if one is horribly honest about it, generally is tinged with a bit of luck. But do I need to spend my entire disposable time staring with bloodshot eyes into the mindless consciousness of the Universal All for the entire time?
Then there is the matter of the social networking, an ethos and way of life for which I have only limited use. Once again, I admit that most of the people who I have been befriended by on Facebook have little to no involvement in my day-to-day life. So why or how are they friends of mine? Oh, I suppose there are a few among them who I would consider to be my friend, but they are clearly in the minority, and most of my true friends I either would contact via a regular telephone call or ordinary e-mail. This would be yet another reason why I would not want nor need a Smart Phone, because I believe firmly that e-mail belongs on e-mail servers that are secure, and designed for that purpose, not only my telephone.
Last but not least, the new Smartphones are increasingly prone to malicious attacks as are traditional computers. There are thousands of attempted infections each day on mobile phones with the numbers of attempted infections doubling every few months; as many as 1 million people were hit by mobile malware in the first half of 2011. Google Inc. has removed about 100 malicious applications from its Android Market app store. One particularly harmful app was downloaded more than 260,000 times before it was removed. Android is the world's most popular smartphone operating software with more than 135 million users worldwide. Why would I want to expose myself to this kind of junk?
No, I think I'll stick with my Plain Jane Dumb Phone. Of course your results may differ.

DM-410B modified atmosphere packaging tray sealer is a special type of tray controlled modified atmosphere packaging machine lunched by the Dajiang Machinery Equipment Co., Limited. for cool fresh meat, cooked food and other foods. The basic principle of the packing is isolating the food from the ambient air with high barrier materials (plastic pallet and sealing film), and fill gas mixture into the pallet to maintain the original flavor and appearance of the food for a long time, and suppress growing of bacteria and microbe to the fullest extent possible.
The machine uses totally enclosed vacuum replacement method to conduct food atmospheric fresh-keeping packing, namely in the totally enclosed vacuum chamber, vacuumize the vacuum chamber with vacuum pump to make a high vacuum degree, and then fill the gas for preservation of food. The packing mode can make the residual oxygen content in the container to a minimum, and convenient for precise control of ratio of various fresh-keeping gases. The gas displacement ratio by using the totally enclosed vacuum replacement method may ≥ 99%. It effectively solves the problems of the traditional flush compensation controlled atmosphere packing such as poor fresh-keeping effect, incongruous charged gas ratio, unable to grasp and control the shelf life of fresh food due to the high content of residual oxygen.
DM-410B MAP tray sealer has a high degree of automation, reliable quality, long service life, easy to maintain and high yield and wide applicability. According to different fresh-keeping gases required by the food, mixing ratio combining of three fresh-keeping gases, two fresh-keeping gases and one fresh-keeping gas to meet the different needs of the user.
The high-precision gas mixing system is adopted. For best fresh keeping effect, the different types and mixing proposition of fresh keeping gas may be switched quickly according to fresh keeping requirements of different foods.
The microcomputer programmable controller and man-machine interface touch-screen control system are used in the equipment. The parameter setting is intuitive and precise, and the operating is stable and reliable. According to the characteristics of the packing material, the parameters only need to be set for time to complete all of the packing operations uninterruptedly.
The operation is simple and convenient. Double startup safety switch is adopted to guarantee operator safety. The whole automatic packing process may be completed by just one touch of the start switch.

The ad campaign is from the preeminent pubic body of scientist who are deeply engaged in helping develop public policy and education based on hard, empirical data. The Union of Concerned Scientists is putting this campaign together to put a face to the folks who have been attacked by special interest groups, casting doubt upon a fickle public. The ads highlight the professionalism and passion these scientists have toward their work and directs readers to resources that highlight the unbiased science that is behind our understanding of human-caused global warming.
The ads will run in print and on the web thoughout the country. The Pew Center for People and the Press reports that 84 percent of Americans see science as having a mostly positive effect on society. The debate within the scientific community has long been resolved over climate change — now it is time that the scientist themselves speak to an issue that will be an essential cause for their children.

"If that's the world's smartest man, God help us."Drummer, lockpicker, artist, teacher, and raconteur... who also won a Nobel Prize for his work on quantum electrodynamics. Richard Feynman (May 11, 1918 � February 15, 1988) was considered one of the greatest scientific minds since Einstein. Even more than his contributions to science (which are numerous and varied), though, he is best remembered today as a personality, an irreverent, skeptical, iconoclastic embodiment of what a real scientist ought to be. Born in Far Rockaway, New York in 1918, Feynman showed a passion for science at an early age. Much of his bedroom was taken up with electrical apparatus, and he often made pocket money by fixing radios. He attended MIT, and had nearly finished his postgraduate work at Princeton when he was recruited to work on the Manhattan Project. As the youngest group leader at Los Alamos, he was often sought out by the older, more eminent scientists as a sounding board, because he was one of the few young physicists who wasn't too awestruck to disagree with them. During this time, he also became skilled at picking locks and breaking into safes, usually by guessing or stealing the combination. He would later brag that he had opened safes containing the greatest treasure of all time: the secrets of the atomic bomb. Given both his importance in history and his larger than life personality — and the fact that a lot of the current generation of science fiction writers read Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman at an impressionable age — he's becoming increasingly popular as a Historical-Domain Character.
—Lucille Feynman, on Omni magazine naming her son the world's smartest man.

Statoil Takes Over Operatorship In Eagle Ford
HOUSTON, July 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Statoil (NYSE:STO) announced today that the company as of 1 July has assumed operatorship for all activities in the eastern part of its Eagle Ford asset in Texas. The Statoil-operated activities fall mainly within Live Oak, Karnes, DeWitt and Bee counties.
"This is an important milestone for Statoil's development as an operator in the US," says senior vice president for US Onshore, Torstein Hole.
"We now have operational activities in all our onshore assets, Bakken, Marcellus and Eagle Ford. Our organization in Houston is eager to further develop our Eagle Ford holding as operator and we look forward to engaging with communities and landowners in the eastern part of our joint venture acreage," he underlines.
Statoil entered into the Eagle Ford shale in 2010, through a 50/50 joint venture with Talisman Energy USA Inc. Talisman initially acted as operator for the jointly owned acreage, under an agreement where Statoil was to attain operatorship for half the acreage at a later stage.Last year, the companies agreed that Statoil, through a phased transition, would take responsibility for operations in the eastern half of the asset. This acreage falls mainly within Live Oak, Karnes, DeWitt and Bee counties. Talisman will continue with operational responsibility for the western acreage, which is principally in McMullen, La Salle and Dimmit counties. The joint ownership for the total acreage is not impacted by the splitting of operational responsibilities. Statoil has already taken over operations on three drilling rigs in the Eagle Ford. From 1 July the company has also assumed responsibility for producing wells, processing facilities, pipelines and infrastructure, and a field office in Runge, Karnes County. "Both companies have been committed to executing the transition in a safe and responsible manner, whilst ensuring maximum value creation in the joint venture. We are also committed to continue the relationship and further develop strong ties with our host communities," says Torstein Hole. Statoil holds approximately 73,000 net acres in the Eagle Ford. Production stands at 20,200 barrels of oil equivalents per day (boe/d) (Statoil share) from around 300 producing wells.

Ten Best Restaurants in West Palm Beach
Let's face it: West Palm Beach has never been known for its dining scene. But that doesn't mean there aren't some truly stellar dining options -- you just have to know where to look.
These days, we have our eye on a few places -- both new and old. Whether you're headed for a night out on the town in CityPlace, looking to go out somewhere off Clematis Street, or are even willing to wander into local neighborhoods like Northwood, there's a little bit of something for everyone.

10. Maison Carlos
Maison Carlos
This French- and Italian-themed restaurant opened in 2002, with its original location off Clematis Street downtown. But after seven years, the owners -- Carlos and Lanie Fariase -- decided to move their establishment a couple of miles south to the city's El Cid neighborhood, transitioning to a smaller restaurant with a neighborhood vibe. A family-run establishment, the owner is there most every night helping to take orders. The restaurant has just 11 tables and serves a nostalgic take on Italian, Latin, and French cuisine. The menu offers everything from oysters Rockefeller and vichyssoise to a roasted beet salad and chicken and mushroom risotto.
9. Il Bellagio
Il Bellagio
Miami restaurateur Tom Billante has operated enough Italian chow houses to know what he's doing. His eateries -- owned with partners and family -- offer big, moderately priced menus featuring homemade pasta, wood-oven pizzas, grilled veal and pork chops, imaginatively composed salads, and good, cheap house wine. Il Bellagio at CityPlace has flourished and expanded over the past 13 years thanks to this formula, and a knockout location directly facing the center's splashing fountain and live music stage doesn't hurt. The patio seats 150, and it's a treat to be outdoors on a fine night with a bowl of fresh pasta, a grilled pork chop, or a tuna tartar. The newly renovated restaurant has added a number of creative dishes to the original menu since reopening last year, with an expanded appetizer section that helps get the night started in a whole new way.

Hatters end Newport's unbeaten run
Luton ended Newport's nine game unbeaten run with a 3-0 victory at Kenilworth Road as the Hatters climbed back into the top three.
The hosts started superbly with Jonathan Smith's shot saved by Jamie Stephens and from the corner, Andy Drury's delivery was glanced into the net by Luke Wilkinson after just three minutes.
Newport threatened a leveller as Yan Klukowski had his goalbound shot blocked, while Lee Minshull thundered a header against the bar and Mark Tyler saved well from Shaun Jeffers' close-range...

Who is the third who walks always beside you?
from T.S. Eliot – The Waste Land on Genius
In his "Notes" on the poem, Eliot says that he took this idea from the explorer Ernest Shackleton, who reported that a mysterious being appeared, walking alongside his group, during his journey through Antarctica. People sometimes report this phenomenon in moments of peril.
The line is also often read as referring to the Road to Emmaus incident in Luke 24:13-35, in which two disciples on the way home bump into the risen Christ and don't recognise him.
The critic Harold Bloom, who has consistently argued for The Waste Land as being inspired first and foremost by Walt Whitman's "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd," links this line with a passage from "Dooryard":
Then with the knowledge of death as walking one side of me,
And the thought of death close-walking the other side of me,
And I in the middle as with companions, and as holding the hands of companions…
To help improve the quality of the lyrics, visit "The Waste Land" by T.S. Eliot and leave a suggestion at the bottom of the page

Interestingly, some people argued that the way in which we render the branches in the branch explorer (merge links pointing from source to destination) is not correct. I really don't care about how correct it is since I don't feel like teaching graphs theory on a daily basis, but we do always listen :P.
This is basically how the Branch Explorer renders branches and commits (changesets):
edit branchexplorer.cfg and add: display.options.dag_mergelinks=trueand then you'll see:
Which, ok, well, whatever, I guess it has its own audience! :P
Vertical4.1 features the long awaited, begged, proposed and requested "2D version tree feature" that I'm not unveiling today... :P And together with it it comes the possibility to render your branch explorer... vertically... up means newer.
All credits to Mr. Daniel Peñalba! :P
