China's hacking
PUBLISHED: 03 Apr 2012 00:51:30 | UPDATED: 03 Apr 2012 00:51:30PUBLISHED: 03 Apr 2012 PRINT EDITION: 03 Apr 2012Tony Letford
Your "China's cyber stealth" (Review, March 30) on the growing importance of cyber hacking and espionage was informative.
I was in China two weeks ago when the leading Chinese English language newspaper, The China Daily, reported cyber attacks originating mainly from the US and Japan on Chinese computer systems. There was no mention of any attacks on American computer systems from China. Funny that.
On Thursday a Chinese Defence Ministry spokesman claimed that the country received 80,000 attacks a month from overseas.
Either China is incapable of controlling the computer networks that exist in China or it has permitted or created a system in which computer hackers have been able to engage in very sophisticated attacks on Western intellectual property. I suspect that there are a lot of tit-for-tat games in the world of hacking and that these games will continue. Those who disagree with the government's decision to exclude Huawei from the fibre optic cable project would do well to consider the Chinese record.

Earlier this week, Katy Perry notched her 9th career chart-topper. After a slight misstep with "Unconditionally," the 29-year-old bounced back with "Dark Horse." To be fair, "Unconditionally" did peak at No. 14 which is respectable and a number most artists would die for. Truthfully, I'm surprised the track didn't fare better considering its gorgeous visual. Meanwhile, "Dark Horse" still doesn't have an official video but managed to reach pole position on the Billboard Hot 100. Go figure.
Perry is now tied at 10th place with Elton John, the Bee Gees, Paul McCartney and Usher on the all-time list. Just ahead of her are Janet Jackson and Stevie Wonder (10), Whitney Houston (11), Madonna and The Supremes (12), Michael Jackson and Rihanna (13), Mariah Carey (18) and The Beatles with a whopping 20 No. 1 hits.
I thought it was the perfect time to look back at her career and rank all her chart toppers. For me, "Teenage Dream" is by far her best. Like leaps and bounds. No matter what version, remix or cover by another artist, the track is a winner. I never thought, Perry could release a more irritating single than "E.T.," but she has. While clearly millions have warmed up to "Roar," I still find it utterly irritating even after all this time. Not surprisingly, it's my least favorite track by Katy. Check out how all her other hits rank.
Do you agree with my list? Weigh in below and share your ranking of Katy's chart toppers.

Dwyane Wade Confirms Son, 'Continues To Move Forward' With Gabrielle Union
Last night (Dec. 30), the Miami Heat defeated the Denver Nuggets 97-94 at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado where Dwyane Wade contributed 12 points for MIA, but the real win came off the court when he confirmed having a newborn son that did not belong to his fiance/ actress Gabrielle Union.
"I had a time, a part in our break, in our pain and our hurt, a blessing came out of it in my life, having a son that was born healthy," Wade told reporters during a press conference.
Though the longtime couple was met with backlash for Wade's affair, the Miami Heat baller kept a positive outlook.
"I always focus on what's most important to me and my family, and that's being a great father," he continued. "I've always tried to show my importance in my kids' lives and it doesn't change now. So, I, my lady and my family have continued to move forward, and I think that's evident with the ring and the proposal that I gave her, with our lives."
Wade recently settled his divorce this past summer to ex-wife Siovaughn Funches and won primary custody of their sons Zaire, 11, and Zion, 6. Funches allegedly penned a shady letter to the couple upon hearing of Wade's new child.
Still, the baggage hasn't kept Wade and Union from soaring in love. He recently proposed to the Being Mary Jane star just before Christmas with a stunning 8.5 carat ring.

Beloved BBC dog Mabel passes away
After 14 years on the world's longest running children program, Mabel, a border collie mix, has died.
Seen by millions of children on "Blue Peter," Mabel was the BBC program's first rescue dog.
"She was dearly loved and that's a credit to her quirky character. She'll be sorely missed by the presenters and viewers alike," said Helen Skelton, one of the program's co-hosts.
Mabel, who retired last year, was the second-longest serving dog on the show. Another, named Petra, appeared on the show for 15 years.
Her death came barely a month after the death of her canine co-star Lucy, according to the Daily Mail.
Mabel was originally featured on the program in 1996 when then presenter Katy Hill met her while making a film about the RSPCA. She joined the show a month later. Her name came from the letters MAB1 which were written on her RSPCA kennel.
Mabel, who was thought to be 16, was notable for her different colored eyes – one brown, one blue – and a folded-over ear. She starred alongside 14 different presenters in hundreds of studio shows.
After retirement, she lived with a former member of the show's production team
The BBC show's presenters announced the news about the border collie to viewers last night.

RV having fun yet?
I took a first, tentative step into the RV world over the weekend, hitting what's billed as the country's largest RV show in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
I saw big ones, small ones, medium sized, elaborate ones and even more elaborate ones in what turned out to be a quick visit — mainly because the drop-your-dog-off kennel at HersheyPark wasn't all I hoped it would be.
I had envisioned a grassy, fenced in area, with shade, perhaps some water features, perhaps some college students on hand to keep the dogs company as they frolicked. Instead it was a dingy little room, filled with stacked cages, located beneath the stadium.
Upon walking into what they call the Barking Lot Kennel, my first inclination was to walk out. While there was a good-sized ground level crate Ace would fit into, its floor lined with newspaper, I didn't think he'd be happy there, between the cramped quarters and the constant barking of the other 10 or so dogs already there.
But then Ace tugged me inside, and happily went into the crate, so I paid the sole attendant the $10 boarding fee and promised — him, Ace and myself — to return in no more than two hours.
My plan had been to schmooze with some dealers and manufacturers in an effort to procure an RV company as a sponsor for "Travels with Ace" – but time was too short, and, to be honest, I'm not big on schmoozing. Maybe I need something like "schmooze control," where I could push an automatic pilot button and be personable for a specified stretch of time.
I'm also not big on huge gatherings of humans, of which this was one. I've never really understood the whole giant boat/dog/car/RV/home furnishings show phenomenon. It's really my worst nightmare: packing way too many people in one place, restricting their movement with narrow aisles and dead ends, and getting bombarded with pamphlets and – oh, God — salesman.
That's sort of what I would imagine hell is like.
I guess, in a way, the big shows makes sense — it's an opportunity to see all there is to offer, all the latest technology, in one place. But, as for me, I'd prefer leisurely browsing through a catalog to trying to maneuver between slow walkers, fast walkers, baby strollers, and people on scooters.
As I walked down row after row of motorhomes, I noticed most dealers and manufacturers had them set up in such a way that, once you entered their area, it was difficult to exit — sort of a circle the wagons/trap the customers mentality.
I left empty handed — turning down all offered freebies because there is just no more room in my car, a 2005 Jeep Liberty that we shall continue the trip in, perhaps renting an RV down the road, partly to get a better taste of that world, partly because, when traveling with a dog, it's the mode that seems to make the most sense.
I did see enough to get a bad case of RV envy, though — mainly for the compact versions, not much bigger than a van, but with beds, refrigerators, stoves, bathrooms and all the other comforts of home, all squeezed in nice and cozy-like.
I decided I would not turn down, if offered, an Itasca Navion, or a slightly-bigger-than-a-van number made by Pleasure-Way, or this one (left) from Coach House, to serve as the rolling home and office of "Travels with Ace." But I won't hold my breath.
I spent a little time looking at the laughably large ones — equipped with just about everything you can imagine, including large flat screen TVs not just inside, but on the outside of the vehicle as well.
On the surface, it seems ludicrous.: Drive 1,000 miles to the Grand Canyon, set up some chairs, pull down the awning and turn on the old set. But I guess it, like the big RV show, makes a certain kind of sense. I can understand, after spending nearly four months now on the road, wanting a home away from home.
On the other hand, given a choice between viewing the Grand Canyon or "America's Got Talent," I'd have to go with the big hole in the ground.
As promised, I made it back to the Barking Lot a couple of hours later and retrieved Ace, who was none the worse for wear, though eager to leave.
I think we had both had enough of our species — me trying to navigate the rows of motor homes among too many humans, he trying to stay calm amid the rows of barking dogs.
He pulled hard on the leash, and made a beeline for the car.
We hightailed it out of there and headed east, sticking to backroads, avoiding the turnpike for a while and enjoying some of the quiet Pennsylvania countryside.

Man wants new name: Boomer the Dog
A judge in Pennsylvania has rejected a Pittsburgh-area man's petition to change his name from Gary Guy Mathews to "Boomer the Dog."
Mathews, 44, is an unemployed computer technician and a follower of the "furry" lifestyle, which celebrates giving human characteristics to animals. He sought the name change because he's a big fan of the short-lived 1980s NBC show "Here's Boomer."
His obsession with the Boomer character led him to create a giant dog costume made from shredded newspaper, which he now wears at home and to conventions.
Common Pleas Court Judge Ronald W. Folino, after hearing Mathews request Tuesday, denied it on Wednesday on the grounds it could cause confusion and possibly put "the public welfare at risk," according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
The denial, which came in a page and a half-ruling, sounded almost as convoluted as the request:
What if, the judge wrote, Boomer the Dog witnessed a serious auto accident and telephoned police? "The dispatcher on the phone queries as to the caller's identity, and the caller responds, 'This is Boomer the Dog.' It is not a stretch to imagine the telephone dispatcher concluding that the call is a prank and refusing to send an emergency medical response."
"Right now I'm not sure what I'm going to do next, I'll just have to look into it," Mathews said after the decision. "All I know is that I've been trying to realize my identity for a long time, like many people have I guess."
Furries, the Post-Gazette reports, have become fairly common around Pittsburgh, which for five years has hosted the movement's largest annual convention.

Trial opens in deaths of show dogs
Opening statements were made yesterday in the Missouri trial of Mary Wild, charged with animal abuse in connection with the deaths of seven show dogs who died when left overnight in a hot van last summer.
Wild, a 25-year-old dog handler from Arnold, Missouri, is charged with eight counts of misdemeanor animal abuse — one for each of the dogs she left in the van after returning from a dog show in Iowa last June.
Only one of the dogs, a Siberian husky, survived.
Defense attorney Brad Dede said he would show that "all reasonable and legal precautions" were taken to ensure the safety of the dogs and that his client is not guilty of a crime, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.
Authorities say the temperature inside the van could have reached 120 degrees.
Animal abuse is a Class A misdemeanor in Missouri, and the maximum penalty is up to a year in jail and a fine up to $1,000.

Giant George ousts Titan as world's tallest dog
The Great (Dane) Debate is over: The "World's Tallest Dog" is Giant George of Tucson, Guinness World's Records has proclaimed.
The 250-pound blue Great Dane wrested the title away from Titan, a white, partly blind Great Dane from San Diego who held it little more than three months.
Guinness World Records says George is the tallest dog ever on record, standing 43 inches tall at the shoulder, three-quarters of an inch taller than Titan.
Titan was named World's Tallest Dog last November after the death of the previous title-holder, Gibson, a harlequin Great Dane from Grass Valley, Calif., who died of bone cancer.
Giant George was in the running then, but disputed measurements and late paperwork left his owner, David Nasser, unable to qualify.
Guinness officials say there were conflicting reports about Giant George's height, so they sent a judge to verify it.
Guinness made the announcement this morning, and George and Nasser appeared this afternoon on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
Diana Taylor, Titan's owner, told the San Diego Union-Tribune she didn't intend to watch the show because she was busy Monday trying to find a swim vest that would fit Titan, her 190-pound deaf, epileptic and partly blind "special needs dog," for his first water therapy session.
A blog post on Titan's website site argues that Titan should still be tops. Taylor says she intends to lodge a dispute but won't exert a lot of energy on a challenge if Titan's reign is officially over.
Giant George, we should point out, has his own website as well, which, according to Taylor, was part of a massive public relations effort to steal the title away from her dog.
"Regardless of whether he's the world's tallest dog or not, he's still this beautiful deaf and blind Great Dane, and no one can take that away from him," Taylor said of Titan.
The blog post read, in part:
"Despite the fact that it detracted from our mission of helping rescue and special-needs dogs, I strived to take the high road. But now, after months of having our accomplishment overshadowed by this media blitz-kreig of poor sportsmanship (and on the eve of this dog actually being on Oprah) I've decided it's time to let the public know the truth about 'Giant' George.
"…Confused at how to measure his dog, this owner took two official measurements… one at the shoulder and another halfway up the neck. Guinness requirements state an animal must be measured at the shoulder. See below — when measured correctly George is only 39 1/8″ compared to Titan's certified height of 42.25″.
"George's 'record-breaking' 43″ is based on a measurement halfway up the neck, a procedure that does not follow industry standards or meet Guinness requirements…"
Guinness spokeswoman Jamie Panas said last week that Nasser's claim to the title was one of more than 100 the company received since late last year."It's a huge record for us," she said. "The pet records resonate the most with our readers."

And wait until you try his tabby-oca pudding
Italy's state-run RAI TV has suspended popular cooking show host Beppe Bigazzi for touting cat stew as a Tuscan delicacy.
The suspension is for an unspecified amount of time," the Associated Press reports.
Bigazzi, 77, who hosts a popular morning program that offers food tips and recipes, said he had enjoyed cat stew many times. When that startled his female co-host, Elisa Isoardi, Bigazzi defended his culinary tastes, noting Italians eat rabbit, chicken and pigeons. Horse meat also is sold in Italian shops.
"Cat, soaked for three days in the running water of a stream comes out with its meat white, and I assure you I have eaten it many times," he said on the program. "Now there will be letters from nature lovers. Why don't they defend rabbits?"
His critics included Health Ministry Undersecretary Francesca Martini, who said Italian law protects pets from mistreatment and that Bignazzi's comments contradict the growing public sensibility toward animals in Italy.

Sadie wins best in show at Westminster
Sadie, a four-year-old Scottish terrier, was named best in show at Westminster, beating out 2,500 entrants at the 134-year-old dog show.
"She's the total package," said Elliot Weiss, of Eagle, Idaho, who judged the Best in Show round before a cheering, capacity crowd at Madison Square Garden. "This is the complete dog … That's what you want a Scottie to look like."
Sadie went into the competition as a favorite of both oddsmakers and experts, having won both the National Dog Show in suburban Philadelphia in November and the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship in California in December.
Unlike in recent years, when relatively unknown crowd favorites Uno, a beagle, and Stump, an aging Sussex spaniel, captured top honors, this year's best in show was no surprise.
On Tuesday, the loudest cheers were for a sleek Doberman Pinscher and a French Bulldog whose mugging won the crowd over, Reuters reported.
The final round of judging was disrupted when two female protesters strode out to the winner's circle and held up signs, including one reading "Mutts rule," a reference to the "Dogs rule" ad campaign that has run throughout the competition. The protesters were removed by security.
Terriers are the winningest group in WKC history, having won nearly half the events throughout the club's history. Sadie also made last year's Best in Show round. The WKC was her 112th Best in Show and the eighth Westminster Kennel Club victory for a Scottie.
This year's competition saw 2,500 entrants representing 173 breeds and varieties. Other breeds vying for the big prize on Tuesday were a toy Poodle, a Puli, a Whippet and a Brittany.
Handler Gabriel Rangel said Sadie was "a very happy dog. She always enjoys herself. Nobody ever tells her 'no.'

There is nothing to suggest at first glance that Bamako is a musical hot spot. It is the capital of Mali, a parched, poor, landlocked country in West Africa. The city is unprepossessing, an anarchic collection of bougous, or neighborhoods—more like a big village, really. But during the past decade of severe droughts, Bamako has grown swiftly, doubling to a population of a million as people have streamed in from the countryside. And it has numerous clubs, hopping till 3 a.m. most days of the week, with names like Akwaba and the Bla-Bla Club (named for a town in the interior), which resemble the juke joints in the American South of the twenties.
The bulk of Bamako sprawls up from the banks of the Niger River to a tiara of tall red cliffs; the presidential palace sits atop one of them. Most of the city's structures are single-story buildings with courtyards, where the women cook food on charcoal braziers. I am staying in a new luxury hotel called the Kempinski El Farouk. The glassy green river slides past my window on its way up to Timbuktu. The downtown is a five-minute walk away, and within 150 yards I can hear the competing sounds of blaring Cuban son, Jamaican rap, and bluesy ballads sung in Bambara, the language of one of Mali's largest ethnic groups. No music evolves in isolation anymore—fusion is happening constantly. The music of Africa and the Americas has crossed over and back and re-hybridized so many times that it's no longer possible to identify exactly what comes from where. But the music known as the blues, which emerged in the American South in the 1890's, fathered jazz and rock and roll, and is so infectious and cathartic that it is the world's dominant popular music form, arguably originated here, in Mali.
As I enter the labyrinthine central market, which takes up most of downtown, I catch the haunting melodies and intricate rhythms of Wassoulou, Malinké, and a host of other styles, mingled with the steady, low hum—punctuated with periodic eruptions of laughter—of people bartering with one another in mutually barely intelligible languages. The visual assault is no less riotous: the seven kinds of mangoes grown in Mali on display alongside proto-Cubist wooden sculptures; the dazzling, boldly patterned fabrics that the women wrap themselves in; the sumptuous turquoise, green, and yellow boubous worn by the men. It's a joyous hullabaloo.
The chain of events that has brought me here began in 1960, when I was 13 and incarcerated in an all-boys prep school in New Hampshire. We were allowed to go into town on Wednesday afternoons, and on one of these trips I bought a recording of a country-blues singer from South Carolina called Pink Anderson. There was a photo of him on the cover: an old black man with a strong face, dressed in bib overalls, standing with his guitar on the porch of his house.
I connected immediately with Anderson's raw voice and his searing guitar-picking. As the sixties progressed, a lot of other white, middle-class American kids had similarly powerful reactions to the blues, perhaps because we, too, felt a measure of cultural alienation.
I decided I had to learn how to play this music, and the next time I was in New York City, I went to Manny's, the musical-instrument emporium on 48th Street, and bought myself an $80 Epiphone steel-string guitar. Then I went down to the Folklore Center in Greenwich Village, a storefront operation presided over by a man named Izzy Young, where musicians—including Bob Zimmerman, soon to be Bob Dylan—hung out and traded licks. I asked Young who could teach me how to play country-blues guitar, and Young sent me up to Harlem, to a blind old man named Reverend Gary Davis, who was living with his wife, Annie, in a shack behind a row of condemned buildings on upper Park Avenue. Davis was one of the legendary masters of country blues, ragtime, and gospel fingerpicking. He had made some great "race records" in the thirties (the artists were each paid with a bottle of whiskey), but these were long forgotten, and he was now playing in the many storefront revival churches in the neighborhood. He was about to be rediscovered, however. Peter, Paul, and Mary sang one of his songs, and they were followed by the Rolling Stones, the Grateful Dead, and Hot Tuna. He and Annie were able to buy a little house in Jamaica, Queens, where I visited them until his death in 1972.
Davis became my guitar teacher in the early sixties. The first tune he taught me was not the blues but a spiritual, from a much older African tradition. In much of his music, I couldhear echoes of his ancestral continent, and now I've come to Mali to find them for myself.
Having swapped some greenbacks for francs, I flag a cab to Mali Cassette, a shop in Quinzanbougou, where I load up on the music of Habib Koite, a Mande singer from western Mali, near the Senegalese border; Djelimady Tounkara, one of the country's best guitarists; and Boubacar Traoré, new to me but a veteran of the Mali music scene. On the counter of the store is a weekly broadsheet listing who is playing where.
In the evening I go to the club Hogon, where Toumani Diabaté, a master of the kora—a 21-stringed harp that has a calabash for a sounding box—plays regularly, but tonight some college students have commandeered the space for a disco dance. They invite me to join them, but I continue looking for Diabaté. I find him at a large open-air club called the Espace Bouna, which costs $3 to get into.
Toumani Diabatédescends from a long line of griots, or djelis, as they are called—the oral historians and entertainers of West Africa. Playing the kora is a family tradition: Diabaté's father, Sidiki, who died in 1996, called himself theking of the kora; his grandfather taught the instrument at the University of Washington; and his 12-year-old son is already spending so much time on his kora that he is neglecting his schoolwork. I begin to understand the fascination—how mastering this instrument becomes your life—when Diabaté starts playing, his two first fingers weaving delicate, ethereal, incredibly rapid arpeggios and tremolos on the two rows of strings while his thumbs pluck alternating bass lines. His music has a bluesy, minor feel.
After the show I introduce myself to him, and a few minutes into our conversation he says, "What are you staying in a hotel for?Come to my place." So I move to a room on the second floor of his house, sharing the hall with a dreadlocked percussionist from Gambia who makes his home in Denmark; a young guitarist from Birmingham, England (this is his first time away from home and his loneliness has been compounded by malaria); and a writer from Great Barrington, Massachusetts, here with her Senegalese fiancé. Diabaté is a big man in Bamako, and, in Africa, the bigger you are, the bigger your entourage is. More than a dozen Malians, young and old, some related to Diabaté and some not, are also living in the house. Most of them spend the day sitting in chairs out on the street, moving from one side to the other, depending on where the sun is. In the evening koras are brought out, and I jam with them on my little traveling guitar until it's time to watch a Brazilian telenovela that everyone has been immersed in, and a television is set up on the sidewalk.

My bush beans are very "short" this year (the actual beans, not the plants) and I am wondering if it is a soil problem. They are in a raised bed, get adequate watering and have been fertilized with homemade compost. We do have extremely hot summers (100+) and the leaves do appear to have many yellow leaves with holes...any ideas?
Joe |
Follow-Up Postings:
how often are you watering. did you use inoculant when you planted the seeds. |
Due to the hot dry weather we have had, they get watered everyday. I usually don't water every day, but it has been AWFUL! I did not use inoculant and have never had to in the past. The beans are EZ pick variety... |

At the risk of sounding dumb...What is "inoculant"? I am planting beans now becuz of our hot summer mine do better in the winter here "zone 9" Orlando FL Thanx Carmen |
Have you grown beans before in the same bed and gotten good results? If so, maybe it's not the soil. It could be the heat, which affects viability of pollen, and could result in fewer beans being set. My fava beans are much shorter than last year too, some pods only have one bean instead of several. You could be watering too much, too. Every day sounds like it might be too much. Maybe you could let them dry out till they begin to wilt, then water again. Or use mulch. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] US/ECON-Geithner Said to Consider Leaving Treasury After Debt Debate
Released on 2012-10-17 17:00 GMT

Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner has signaled to White House
officials that hea**s considering leaving the administration after
President Barack Obama reaches an agreement with Congress to raise the
national debt limit, according to three people familiar with the matter.
Geithner hasna**t made a final decision and wona**t do so until the debt
ceiling issue has been resolved, according to one of the people. All spoke
on condition of anonymity to discuss private discussions.
The Treasury secretary has said the U.S. risks defaulting on its
obligations if Congress doesna**t raise the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling by
Aug. 2. The administration and congressional Republicans are at an impasse
in negotiations to raise the limit, which also is tied to efforts to cut
the nationa**s long- term deficit.
Moodya**s Investors Service said on June 2 it expects to place the U.S.
governmenta**s Aaa credit rating under review for a possible downgrade if
therea**s no progress on the debt limit by mid-July. Fitch Ratings said
June 21 it would place the U.S. on a negative rating watch if no action is
taken by Aug. 2.
An exit by Geithner would complete the turnover in Obamaa**s original
economic team, with Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Austan Goolsbee
scheduled to leave in early August to return to the University of Chicago.
That would leave Obama with two key posts to fill as Republicans are
seeking to turn the 2012 election into a referendum on Obamaa**s handling
of the economy and the recovery is slowing. The unemployment rate rose to
9.1 percent in May, according to the Labor Department, and the U.S.
economy grew at a 1.9 percent pace in the first quarter, according to
Commerce Department figures released June 24.
Seeking a Break
Geithner, 49, has told associates that he needs a break from government
service after dealing with the turmoil that followed the collapse of Wall
Street firms including Bear Stearns Cos. and Lehman Brothers Holdings
Inc., first as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and then
as Obamaa**s treasury secretary.
Family considerations also are playing a role in Geithnera**s
deliberations, according to the people. His son has decided to finish his
final year of high school in New York.
If Geithner does leave the administration, Obama would be losing a member
of his economic team who understands Washington institutions and the New
York banking world as well as the intricacies of the Chinese economy.
Geithner has pressed the Chinese to let their currency appreciate faster
to reduce the global imbalances that both he and Obama have blamed for
financial uncertainty.
Rocky Start
After Obamaa**s victory in the 2008 election, Geithner had a rocky start
in Washington as he faced Senate scrutiny over his failure to pay
self-employment tax returns while he worked at the International Monetary
Fund. He paid some of the taxes after being audited by the IRS and
didna**t pay the rest until it was clear he would be nominated for the
Treasury post, according to the Senate Finance Committee.
His initial moves to return financial markets to health were rebuffed by
Wall Street. On Feb. 10, 2009, when Geithner unveiled a plan to bolster
the banking system, the Standard & Poora**s 500 stock index tumbled 4.9
As Obamaa**s presidency progressed, and the economy began to recovery,
Geithnera**s stature grew.
a**Tim was very influential from day one,a** said former CEA chairman
Christina Romer. a**In some sense, his public persona has just caught up
with what has always been true inside the White House.a**
In addition to Goolsbee, who announced his decision to return to the
University of Chicago earlier this month, three other top Obama economic
advisers already have departed. At the CEA, Goolsbee replaced Romer, who
returned to teaching at the University of California at Berkeley last
September. National Economic Council Director Lawrence Summers and Office
of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag left the administration
last year. Summers returned to Harvard University, and Orszag is now vice
chairman of global banking at Citigroup Inc.
Geithner earned a bachelora**s degree from Dartmouth College in Hanover,
New Hampshire, and a mastera**s degree from Johns Hopkins Universitya**s
School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, D.C. After
graduate school, he worked for three years at a global consulting firm
founded by Henry A. Kissinger.

Consider a particle m in a centrifuge tube filled with a liquid.
You remember that the force on the particle is given by the mass times the acceleration:
where m is the mass of the particle and a is the acceleration. If the particle is moving at a constant velocity (v), then the acceleration is zero and the net force is given by:
Each of these forces can be described as follows:
Substituting these in the equation for the net force, we get:
Now the mass of the displaced solvent can be written in terms of the density of the solvent and the partial specific volume of the particle:
Substituting this in our developing equation, we get:
This equation can be rearranged to give:
Now we collect motion and distance terms on the left and particle and solution terms on the right:
If we multiply the top and bottom of the equation by Avagadro's number we get:
This is the Svedberg equation and is used to describe the motion of the particle in terms of molecular weight (a size term) and frictional coefficient (a shape term). The equation also relates the motion to the solvent density.
Particles can be separated by size and shape criteria:
Particles can be separated by density:
The Svedberg coefficients are not additive. That is, 40S plus 60S does not equal 100S. This is the case for the ribosomal subunits, where the combination of a 40S small subunit and a 60S large subunit produces an 80S complete ribosome.

Fact Sheet: Earth Observation System Will Revolutionize Understanding Of How Earth Works
U.S. Spearheads Global Initiative
Over the next decade, a global Earth Observation System will revolutionize our understanding of the Earth and how it works. With benefits as broad as the planet itself, this U.S.-led initiative promises to make peoples and economies around the globe healthier, safer and better equipped to manage basic daily needs. The aim is to make 21st century technology as interrelated as the planet it observes, predicts and protects, providing the science on which sound policy and decision-making must be built.
Building an integrated, comprehensive and sustained global Earth Observation System opens a world of possibilities. Imagine a world in which we could:
- Forecast next winter's weather months in advance
- Predict where and when malaria, West Nile virus, SARS and other diseases are likely to strike
- Reduce U.S. energy costs by about $1 billion yearly
- More effectively monitor forest fires and predict the effect of air quality on sensitive populations in near real-time
- Provide farmers with immediate forecasts essential to maximizing crops yields
- Predict the pattern of the North American monsoon -- Arizona derives two-thirds of its water from the monsoon weather pattern
Global architecture that reflects how our world actually works is key to making such visions operational.
The Challenge Is To Connect The Scientific Dots
Right now many thousands of individual pieces of technology are gathering earth observations around the globe. They are demonstrating their value in estimating crop yields, monitoring water and air quality, and improving airline safety. U.S. farmers gain about $15 of value for each $1 spent on weather forecasting. Benefits to U.S. agriculture from altering planting decisions are estimated at over $250 million. The annual economic return to the U.S. of NOAA's El Nino ocean observing and forecast system is between 13% and 26%.
But while there are thousands of moored and free floating data buoys in the world's oceans, thousands of land-based environmental stations, and over 50 environmental satellites orbiting the globe, all providing millions of data sets, most of these technologies do not yet talk to each other. Until they do - and all of the individual technology is connected as one comprehensive system of systems -- there will always be blind spots and scientific uncertainty. Just as a doctor can't diagnose health by taking just one measurement, neither can scientists really know what's happening on our planet without taking earth's pulse everywhere it beats -- which is all over the globe.
The challenge is to connect the scientific dots - to build a system of systems that will yield the science on which sound policy must be built.
U.S. and Global Plans
The U.S. is spearheading such a system, in our country and around the world. As a collaborative effort, over 15 federal agencies and several White House offices are developing a Draft Strategic Plan for the U.S. Integrated Earth Observation System. After broad public review, the plan will be finalized in late 2004.
On a parallel track, the U.S. is also spearheading the development of a Global Earth Observation System of Systems, of which the U.S. plan will be a key component. Launched at the first-ever global Earth Observation Summit, held on July 31, 2003 in Washington, D.C., the pioneering Group on Earth Observations is now supported by 49 countries, the European Commission, and 29 international organizations. The framework of a 10-year implementation plan was agreed to at the second global Earth Observation Summit, held on April 25, in Tokyo. The plan will be presented to ministers at the third global Earth Observation System, to be held on February 16, 2005, in Brussels.
Mike Leavitt, EPA Administrator, led the U.S. delegation at the summit in Tokyo. With four co-chairs, the Group on Earth Observations is helping to advance the development of the emerging global system. The co-chairs are: Vice Admiral (Ret.) Conrad C. Lautenbacher, Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA); Mr. Akio Yuki, of Japan, Deputy Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology; Mr. Achilleas Mitsos, of the European Commission, Director General for Research; and Dr. Rob Adam, of South Africa, Director-General of Science and Technology. South Africa co-chairs on behalf of the developing world, reflecting the vital importance of developing nations to the success of the global system.
Nine Societal Benefits
In the U.S. and globally, the emerging system will focus on nine societal benefit areas:
- Improve Weather Forecasting
- Reduce Loss of Life and Property from Disasters
- Protect and Monitor Our Ocean Resource
- Understand, Assess, Predict, Mitigate and Adapt to Climate Variability and Change
- Support Sustainable Agriculture and Forestry and Combat Land Degradation
- Understand the Effect of Environmental Factors on Human Health and Well-Being
- Develop the Capacity to Make Ecological Forecasts
- Protect and Monitor Water Resources
- Monitor and Manage Energy Resources
The benefits of building global observing architecture are enormous.
Substantial Socio-Economic Payoffs
- We could more accurately know how severe next winter's weather, with strong implications for emergency managers, transportation, energy and medically personnel, farmers, families, manufacturers, store owners, etc. Weather and climate sensitive industries account for one-third of the nation's GDP, or $3 trillion.
- We could forecast weather with just one degree Fahrenheit more accuracy, saving at least $1 billion annually in U.S. electricity costs.
- With coastal storms reflecting 71 percent, or $7 billion, of U.S. disaster losses every year, improved forecasting will have a major favorable impact on preparedness.
- In the U.S., at a cost of $4 billion annually, weather is responsible for about two-thirds of aviation delays -- $1.7 billion of which would be avoidable with better observations and forecasts.
- Benefits from more effective air quality monitoring could provide real-time information as well as accurate forecasts that, days in advance, could enable us to mitigate the effects of poor quality through proper transportation and energy use.
- Benefits from ocean instrumentation that, combined with improved satellite Earth observing coverage, could provide revolutionary decadal worldwide and regional climate forecasts, enabling us, for example, to predict years of drought.
- Benefits from real-time monitoring and forecasting of the water quality in every watershed and accompanying coastal areas could provide agricultural interests with immediate feedback and forecasts of the correct amount of fertilizers and pesticides to apply to maximize crop generation at minimum cost, helping to support both healthy eco-systems and greatly increased U.S. fishery output and value from coastal tourism.
- Globally, an estimated 300-500 million people worldwide are infected with malaria each year and about one million die from this largely preventable disease -- with a linked international system, we could pinpoint where the next outbreak of SARS or West Nile virus, or malaria is likely to hit.

Bathrooms | 1 |
Property type | apartment |
Minimum Stay | nights |
This wonderful apartment with stunning hardwood floors is one of only two in the building. Up one flight of stairs with exposed brick walls, and into your 600 sq ft city getaway you enter a long hallway. To your right, the sparkling white bathroom (with combination shower/tub) and straight ahead your Queen- size, latex mattress awaits you (doctor recommended for bad backs). Luxuriate in the snow white sheets and gaze up through the skylight. The windows have leopard print sheers for the day and black-out curtains for your night time comfort. The apartment has a huge closet available for storing all your belongings. You can also relax enjoying the 36' flat screen HDTV and cable.
Not ready for bed? Then follow the long hall to the left into the sky-lit kitchen and spacious living room separated by a large, built-in chopping block bar with full counter. Perfect for meals you may wish to "eat in,' the kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots, and pans for the cooks among you. But why cook? Some of New York's finest restaurants are in the neighborhood.
Only steps away is the Grand Szechuan, recently opened and acclaimed by New York Magazine as Best New Chinese Restaurant and for the best price too. And authentic to boot! Across the street is the famous St. Luke's Place, listed in every guidebook as the Historic "must see" street in The Village. As day turns to night, the urban sounds of the city immerse you in the magic of the New York City experience.
You can rent a book from the Hudson Branch of the New York Library and enjoy it nearby in The James J. Walter Park. The Park packs plenty of entertainment for all children of all ages; from jungle gyms to tether ball, ball fields and athletic fields, as well as an Italian Bocce Court for the young-at-heart. Adjacent is the Tony Dapolito Recreation Center which offers adult memberships at $35, seniors at $10, and 6-17 year olds are free.
Bleecker Street, only two short blocks away, is famous for its new designer shops and specialty food stores, selling everything from freshly baked bread to homemade Italian sausage. Experience what it is like to be a real New Yorker with anything that you could ever want within 2 blocks. We are sure you will enjoy your stay in this artistic Village apartment near all transportation, shopping and some of the best restaurants in the Village. The 6th and 7th Avenue subway lines are close and all other lines are nearby.
Whatever your heart desires, from music to food, is within minutes of this magical apartment.
Keywords: Skylight, Apartment
Being in the middle of West Village, it is so easy to have a great time and enjoy the city life right out the door. You can literally become a New Yorker in minutes. I really hope you enjoy the apartment.

Appreciation by neighborhood: King County Last year, single-family homes in King County appreciated at 16%- the highest rate since 1990. Almost every neighborhood saw prices increase by more than 10%. The median price for a single-family home was just over $370,000. Notes: The appreciation was calculated on a price-per-square-foot basis. Median sales price means half of all homes sold for more and half sold for less. The neighborhoods are King County assessor work areas. Downtown Seattle is considered a commercial district, which is why figures for it are not included in this chart.

The people commenting that this was too abrasive for their skin must either have extremely sensitive skin or were pressing extremely hard. I have moderately sensitive skin and this didn't feel abrasive in the slightest, in fact I felt like it might have been almost too soft, so I'm going to try pressing a little harder next time.
It works well for what it's supposed to do. I wasn't expecting anything near a Clairsonic or something amazing, but it helps my cleanser go further and go a little deeper into my pores than just using my fingers. Like others said, I wish the bristles were a bit shorter so I could have better control, and I actually found it hard to get in the creases on the sides of my nose and such. But overall, for 5 bucks, it's a good investment for people who don't need something very powerful like Clairsonic or need to save up for it.

I just can't shell out the money for a Clairisonic right now and I bought the knock off NutraSonic which was waaaaayyy too harsh for my skin (took it back). The in between time just washing my face with no tools, I noticed my skin was a bit rough and just didn't feel as clean. I love this little beauty! For $5 it really makes a difference on my skin. I love the fact that I can get that area around my nose too. I love this and I'm going to buy another just to keep in the shower.
I purchased this because, as amazing as a Clarisonic sounds, I'm only 19 and don't think it is necessary for me to have one just yet. Plus, it's so expensive! I needed something that would help to smooth out my skin a bit and deep clean it more, so I figured this would be great for that.
The brush definitely feels softer on the hands than it actually does on the face. If you're worried that this may be too rough when you first pick it up, chances are that you will find it way to abrasive once it's on your face. I find it a tad too rough, so I don't use it everyday, but as long as I'm gentle I usually don't become irritated from it. It really feels like it cleans down deep. It also does a decent job of sloughing off old skin, so my face always looks fresh and smooth after using this.
This brush is about $5 and so far I like it. Not amazing, and probably not nearly as amazing as a Clarisonic, but I think it is worth trying this out if you are seriously checking out a Clarisonic, or if you refuse to pay for one!
I just bought Olay's Pro-X Cleansing Brush for $25 (I had a coupon) and it is so much better than this. Obviously, it is more expensive, but it works so much better. The brush head on the Olay brush is more soft and not as abrasive, but it still really cleans well. I would seriously recommend saving the $5 that the Sephora brush will cost and putting it towards the Pro-X system :D

Update: FOR its price(compared to Clarisonic or OLAy PRox) it removes dead skin and make-up!!! It's not the best facial brush you can get in the market(uhmm 5 bucks?, hello!) but it does wonders on my skin. When I use my make-up remover , I thought my face is clean(no make up traces with naked eyes) but when I used this, I saw a debris of my foundation in the bristles.. and that only means it cleans better than the usual make up remover, facial wash and water. I read some reviews that it can be a lil bit abrasive but actually you control how hard you pressed it in on your face. I am very happy with this one!
I use this everyday in the shower and I noticed that my skin has brighten up everytime. Very cheap but the down side is I don't really like the cap because it doesn't close at all. Other than that its a decent product!

This product sucks. It is too harsh for my sensitive skin and not soft at all. When I used this, my face looked and felt worse!
I just purchased this today, and tried it out as soon as I got home, and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
I first cleanse my face, and then put more cleanser on the brush and exfoliated my face. I loved how the bristles were flimsy, but hard enough to really get off the dry patches and dead skin cells. My face felt unbelievably clean afterwards. Unlike my Neutrogena exfoliators which feel like it just strips my face of moisture and causes more damage than good. I will be using this for FOREVER!!!!
I think anyone and everyone needs to buy this, and for $7 Canadian, it is completely worth the price!!!!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
While it feels very soft on the hands it can be a bit too abrasive on the face. I can not use this on my cheeks as I find it too harsh, but I do use it on my T-zone with as little pressure as I can. The shape makes it quite awkward to use around the nose area and I find myself having to breath through my mouth as I am brushing my nose since it is awkward and makes the cleanser foam up right over the nostrils.
I also found the handle quite awkward to use and would have preferred to grip the brush at the back rather than having a handle. I also felt that the brushes are too long, which makes the brush hard to control. the long bristles give too much of a discrepancy between the base of the brush and the ends of the bristles, so while i am moving the brush in large circular motions, the ends of the bristles that are making contact with my skin is not following my hand motion very well.
I ended up using this for my neck and decolletage area and much prefer my little silicon face scrubber/brush, which Sephora sells their version of for five dollars. I got mine off ebay for a dollar.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It feels soft when i bought it from the store, but its is so rough on the skin when using >_<. I don't recommend it for any one, well, ones with sensitive skin.
I'm pleasantly surprised by this product. I was looking for a basic tool or scrub to help with the dry flaky skin I have around my mouth and chin. I was disappointed at first because the bristles seemed too soft... But once I got the brush wet, lathered a bit of cleanser and started brushing in circular motions I could definitely feel it working. It's gentle, yet effective. I've been using it for about a week now and the flaky skin on my face is so much better than it was before. I definitely still need to find a good moisturizer, but until I find it this brush should keep most of the flakes under control. For $5 it's worth a try.

Sep 30th 2008 12:43PM I'm pretty sure Death Knights at 55 are part of the load-balancing strategy, anyway. Not only are they splitting the Northrend newcomers into two zones, a big chunk of each realm's population will be in the Death Knight starter zone and then Outland for a while, leveling their Death Knights. By the time the Death Knights are in Borean Tundra or Howling Fjord, the rest of the population should be spread over the rest of Northrend. Seems like a good plan to avoid the Hellfire Peninsula train wreck from Burning Crusade's release.

Jul 25th 2008 5:10PM And enhancement shamans will get 1 AP from Str and 1 AP from Agi now, plus there's an int->AP talent in Enhancement, so theoretically hunter mail will be fine. So you're correct in saying Blizzard won't be making any mail with +Str, but it shouldn't matter in Wrath.

Jul 25th 2008 5:08PM Rumor has it the hit cap is being reduced to 9%, in line with melee specials. Also note that with the advent of spellpower, there won't be "elemental mail" anyway, just spellpower/mana5/crit mail, which will be good for both resto and elemental. You'll probably get your hit from jewelry, cloaks, trinkets and weapons.

Mar 18th 2008 1:29PM Your job in a raid is to keep Unleashed Rage and Windfury up. Enhancement damage is good, but the real reason you're there is to help the warriors and rogues you should be grouped with. The 3% hit talent in Resto gets you closer to that optimal 100% uptime on Unleashed Rage, and I'm pretty sure it's actually a bigger personal DPS increase than what you get for your shocks from Elemental.
Also, don't gear for hit. 300 hit rating is way too much.
And, um, try using capitalization and punctuation once in a while.

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 10
Posted By: sc (O), ISFP/Artisan ComposerDate: Friday, 30 July 1999, at 3:16 a.m.
In Response To: Help (Daylene Lewis)
Hi, Daylene,
Everyone's already given you good suggestions. I'll just add: yes, definitely, an A who eats wrong for type could easily find herself with yeast infections that recur. Furthermore, as uncomfortable as it is, what's really even more bothersome about it is that it's an indicator of something basic being out of whack. (Two of my family members are A's.) So, like the others who have responded to you, I strongly encourage you to find a library or bookstore (most have it) where you can borrow or browse the book, and then give the type A plan a try. Best wishes, sc

10 US Startups' Impact on Social Shopping
What ties each of these startups together is interactivity. Online and mobile users are increasingly sharing more and more content about themselves and interacting with others, especially when making fashion related purchases (nobody wants to be off trend!). While each of these startups made headlines upon launch, the way for them to continue to stand out from the pack is to find new and interesting ways to increase consumer participation while still staying true to their company brand.

BEST TV NEWSCAST -- MORNING Denver 2006 - Channel 9
Readers' Choice: 9News
Last year, Channel 4 seemed ready to give longtime ratings champ Channel 9 a run for its early-morning money, but it couldn't slow the 9News juggernaut. Today, with CBS 4 releasing sportscaster Mark McIntosh and planning to move weathercaster Ed Greene into prime time, Channel 9 lacks any real a.m. competition. Meteorologist Nick O'Kelly, sports enthusiast Susie Wargin and eye-in-the-sky Taunia Hottman are now comfortably ensconced in the on-air family led by TV parents Gary Shapiro and Kyle Dyer and wacky uncle/business boy Gregg Moss. A lineup this competent could quash all challengers for years to come.
