text: One of the delights of being on a small island is the variety and close proximity of its beaches. Corfu has a remarkable range of lovely beaches to offer from long sweeps of golden sand to tiny pebbled bays and coves. What they all have in common is crystal clear water and little or no tide. The East Coast of the island has predominantly pebbly or shingly beaches. There are some wonderful little hidden inlets for those that explore (particularly by boat) and other long tree lined sweeps of white pebbles with water-sports, sun-loungers and the ever enticing turquoise sea perfect for swimming & snorkelling. The far North and West coasts offer a complete contrast with long strips and bays of golden sand. Some of these beaches get very busy in the Summer months with their inviting shallow waters and water sports facilities - some (for the more adventurous) remain almost deserted even in the height of Summer. Whether you prefer being utterly lazy and just soaking up the rays with your sun lounger, umbrella and cool cocktail or are more inclined to be active and adventurous, Corfu beaches offer something for all.

Comment: I bought this mask to keep my face warm and although I only got to wear it once before it warmed up in NW Florida,it did the trick,it looks awesome and the glow in the dark feature is a nice bonus. Imagine the look on a cagers face when they see you wearing this and a pair of shades in their rear view mirror.LOL
NW Florida
Comment: I bought this to keep my face warm. I don't like the full face helmet much but know there is a time and place for it on a cruiser. This was a pleasent surprise it keep the face and ears warm. *Plus it makes people look at you which to me makes me feel like they see me more when riding. I don't do it for the "look at me" I do it for the "Hey there is a dude on a bike lets look for more of them" and the Kids faces are priceless!! LOL

Burns, TN
Comment: I got this because I am not fond of the full face helmet. This thing is warm, gets you noticed in a good way because so many just look past us this makes them take a double look and when they do you get seen. Kids faces are really funny when they see it and some adults as well.
Comment: I personally haven't gotten to wear mine , but my husband reccommened me to get one for the colder nights here in sunny Florida. It's been warmer lately and I'm excited to try it. He really loves his and says it helps keep your face warm from the cold air. Can't wait to try my own. Also the price was surely worth getting another one,for me! Thanks for all your great products at reasonable prices!

The changes to BTM-2.2 are the result of extensive profiling using JProfiler 7.0, including CPU-time analysis as well as lock-contention analysis. For these analyses, the profiler was restricted as much as possible to just the Bitronix components.
This page provides a comparison of the BTM-2.1.2 release vs. the BTM-2.2 branch in a real world load test. These profiling runs include only one of the workloads in my company's product, but is the most important one for customers. Having said that, I would expect the results of this analysis to be representative of other high-concurrency workloads.
First, let's look at CPU usage. BTM-2.2 contains a fair number of concurrency changes, but also a move away from the BTM-2.1.2 "proxy" wrapper around JDBC objects. The proxy wrapper was designed to allow bitronix to support JDBC3 and JDBC4 without a compile-time dependency on JDBC4. Unfortunately, this has sacrificed runtime performance in favor of build-time simplicity.
As can be seen here, looking at one of the processing threads in the workload, 594ms were spent by this thread in the reflection-based BaseProxyHandlerClass.invoke method. Total processing time of this thread was 1149ms.
BTM-2.2 replaces the reflection-based approach with concrete JDBC3 and JDBC4 classes that wrap and delegate. The cost is increased build complexity, but improved runtime performance. As can be seen here, looking at the same processing thread as above in the workload, the reflection invocation overhead is gone, and the total CPU time of the thread dropped from 1149ms to 839ms (27% improvement).
You might notice in this call tree, when compared to the BTM-2.1.2 call tree, a lot of new methods appear: JdbcConnectionHandle.close(), various PreparedStatement methods, etc. These were previously contained "within" the proxy invocation, but now appear as direct calls. Subtracting the two, we find that the proxy overhead was approximately 300ms for this thread. 300ms out of the original 1149ms is a rather large percentage.
Monitors (lock contention)
While CPU time is important, and directly impacts the overall "load" on a server, another performance killer is lock contention. In lock contention, very little CPU time is expended, but threads are blocked from performing useful work. This extends the overall runtime of a given workload. One area that immediately showed up in profiling bitronix was the XAPool resource pool. One or two threads contending for a resource may experience very little lock contention, but as the number of processing threads increases into the 10s or 100s, lock contention can become the primary bottleneck in a system.
In BTM-2.1.2, the XAPool is largely synchronized by a high-level lock (synchronized on the XAPool). In addition, while holding this lock various actions are performed. These include:
- iteration over the pool is performed to look for "NOT_ACCESSIBLE" resources (getNotAccessible())
- iteration over the pool to count "IN_POOL" resources (inPoolSize())
- iteration over XAStatefulHolder objects to find the XAResourceHolder (findXAResourceHolder())
- iteration over the XAStatefulHolders to shrink the pool (shrink())
- iteration over the XAStatefulHolder objects to find an "IN_POOL" resource (getInPool())
- growing the pool by adding new connections (grow())
Performing these actions while holding the lock increase lock contention substantially in a high-concurrency environment.
Here is a screenshot from JProfiler's Monitor Views showing the number of times the XAPool lock was contended for, and total time threads spent blocked during the load test:
Looking at the total time, at the bottom of the Duration column, you can see that a total of ~76 seconds was spent blocked on XAPool during the workload. While each thread blocked for on average only 8ms, some blocked for as long as 390ms.
As you can see from the size of the scrollbar on the right-side of the view, there were a lot of lock contentions. In fact, there were 26269 times that threads were blocked interacting with XAPool.
I encourage you to download the attached zip file, and open the BTM-2.1.2-monitor-history.html file. It's size (13.4MB) gives an indication of how many lock contentions occurred.
In BTM-2.2, the XAPool was refactored, along with small changes to related classes. This is a summary of the changes:
- the high-level lock on XAPool was removed from the primary code path.
- the single pool collection was split into three pools: availablePool (IN_POOL), inaccessiblePool (NOT_ACCESSIBLE), and accessiblePool (ACCESSIBLE)
- a ReentrantReadWriteLock was introduced to ensure that the movement of a connection from one pool to another is atomic
- the read-side of the lock allows multiple threads ("readers") to iterate concurrently. They are guaranteed that a modification will not occur while they are iterating.
- the write-side of the lock protects the instant in time when a connection changes state (for example from NOT_ACCESSIBLE to IN_POOL). When a connection is moving, "readers" are not allowed to enter the lock (but the duration of the write-lock is measured in microseconds). Conversely, when readers are iterating, a "writer" is blocked from moving a connection until they exit.
By splitting the pools, and using new collection-types the following are advantages are gained (compare one-by-one to the BTM-2.1.2 bullets above):
- iteration over the inaccessiblePool is still performed (getNotAccessible()), but...
- any number of threads are allowed to iterate, increasing concurrently substantially
- only the XAStatefulHolders in the inaccessiblePool are iterated. BTM-2.1.2 had to iterate all XAStatefulHolders and ignore IN_POOL and ACCESSIBLE entries.
- the availablePool is a BlockingQueue. this means inPoolSize(), rather than iterating over the entire single pool to count "IN_POOL" resources (and ignore NOT_ACCESSIBLE and ACCESSIBLE), simply calls availablePool.size().
- in BTM-2.2, XAPool.findXAResourceHolder() was moved.
- in BTM-2.1.2, XAPool.findXAResourceHolder(XAResource xaResource) performed a "double-iteration". first, it iterated over all XAStatefulHolders in the pool, then for each holder, it iterated over all XAResourceHolders until it found the holder for the requested resource. this was performed within the lock, because iteration was over the single pool collection.
- in BTM-2.2, findXAResourceHolder(XAResource xaResource) was moved to the XAResourceProducer interface. implementers of the XAResourceProducer interface (for example, PoolingDataSource) now use a private Map<XAResource, XAResourceHolder) which allows the find to be performed without iteration (and without a lock).
- the shrink() method now runs concurrent with other pool operations
- in BTM-2.1.2, shrink() had to iterate over the entire pool, ignoring NOT_ACCESSIBLE and ACCESSIBLE XAStatefulHolders. close() also happened within the context of the lock.
- in BTM-2.2, shrink() now only needs to iterate the accessiblePool, rather than iterating over and ignoring other XAStatefulHolders. it is also done without blocking any readers.
- the getInPool() method can now simply perform a poll() from the availablePool collection (BlockingQueue)
- in BTM-2.1.2, a side-effect of getInPool() was that grow() might be called. this meant that the relatively slow operation of creating new connections occurred within the lock, preventing any other threads from obtaining connections during the process.
- in BTM-2.1.2, getInPool() had to potentially iterate over all XAStatefulHolders and ignore NOT_ACCESSIBLE and ACCESSIBLE connections
- in BTM-2.2, grow() might still be called, but there is no lock that is held, so other threads are not prevented from obtaining connections (for example NOT_ACCESSIBLE or thread-shared connections).
- using the BlockingQueue.poll() method that accepts a timeout (when obtaining a resource from the pool) also allows integration of the pool timeout feature "for free"
- the grow() method now occurs outside of the context of any high-level lock. new XAStatefulHolders are created, and their addition to the availablePool are atomic by nature of the concurrent collection.
I include these probably obvious observations about the BTM-2.1.2 XAPool:
- Because of the synchronized nature of XAPool.getConnectionHandle(), only one thread can obtain a connection at a time.
- Within the context of that lock, connections are tested to see if they are still alive. In my configuration, is penalty is fairly "low" because I use JDBC4 connections. But in the case of users who actually run a test query, all threads wanting a connection must wait on the lock until the database actually responds to the test query of the single acquiring thread.
While all of these changes sound extensive, the XAPool code is now 565 lines (ignoring added JavaDoc) compared to 524 lines in BTM-2.1.2. Additionally, while the improvements in concurrency brought by these changes might seem abstract or academic, they are anything but that. In fact, i don't hesitate to say the results are astounding.
For the exact same workload, here is a screenshot from JProfiler's Monitor Views showing the number of times a lock within XAPool was contended for, and total time threads spent blocked during the load test:
Looking again at the total time, at the bottom of the Duration column, you can see that a total of 372 milliseconds were spent blocked on XAPool during the workload. Compared to ~76 seconds in BTM-2.1.2.
This is not because of "lock duration" but because of less lock contention. Compared to BTM-2.1.2 where there were 26269 lock contentions in XAPool, in BTM-2.2 there were only 21.
To be clear, the difference in the overall time taken by the workload between BTM-2.1.2 and BTM-2.2 is dramatic. Under BTM-2.2 the workload used in this test completed in 1:41 (one minute, forty-one seconds). Under BTM-2.1.2 the same workload took 3:17 (three minutes, seventeen seconds).

POCATELLO, Idaho -- A mining crew has unearthed the latest piece of fossil evidence of what life was like in Idaho more than 250 million years ago.
Last week, a Monsanto Co. crew operating at a phosphate mine in southeast Idaho discovered an array of fossilized teeth buried in a heap of deposits.
Scientists say the shark's unique jaw strongly resembles the shape of a circular saw.
The Idaho State Journal reports the fossil was later identified by an Idaho State University professor Leif Tapanila and linked to a prehistoric shark called Helicoprion. The sharks roamed the seas that once covered southeastern Idaho and neighboring Wyoming and Utah.
Tapanila says the spiral-shaped fossil is likely the only evidence of the shark's presence since it's body was made mostly of cartilage.
The ISU Museum of Natural History is home to 29 of the 100 known Helicoprion fossils.

I think the amazing thing with the Niners is how Alex Smith has finally started to click. I always defended Smith, because he's had so many OCs and so much overturn over his career. But it was getting harder and harder for me to argue that he "just needed the right coach." Until now, that is. Harbaugh has found something in him and turned him into a really good centerpiece for the 49ers. Everyone talks about their defense, but honestly they're a very balanced team, and that offense can move the ball.
As a Saints fan, I was disappointed they beat the Steelers, but I can't deny their talent. If the Saints have to go into Candlestick to beat them, it isn't something I would love (although I do think the Saints can beat them if they get a quick start and force SF to abandon the run).

text: To exchange information and ideas from recent priority setting and site-based conservation planning initiatives by organizations that belong to the Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group (ABCG), a May 2000 meeting was hosted. The meeting, held at Conservation International (CI)and chaired by African Wildlife Foundation (AWF), found that all ABCG organizations are working beyond the traditional protected area level to focus on a broader landscape level. Yet organizations operate at two different levels: the site level and the regional level. For example, both the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS)and AWF work at the site level. However, while WCS' Living Landscape approach uses "landscape species" to determine the landscapes where they work, AWF's African Heartland Program focuses on seven large African landscapes that represent many different ecological zones of Africa and use site conservation planning to determine their activities. At the regional level, CI works on priority setting in hotspots such as the Upper Guinean Forests. Hotspots are considered the richest and most threatened areas for biodiversity. World Wildlife Fund's ecoregion programs performs priority setting analysis in areas such as the Congolian Basin that are selected for representativeness of the broadest variety of the world's habitats.

Between January 18 and March 13 the cities of Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley experienced a large number of residential burglaries during the nighttime hours. These burglaries occurred in a five square mile area of the southwest portion of Fountain Valley and the southeast region of Huntington Beach.
There were a total of 18 burglaries reported in Huntington Beach and eight reported in Fountain Valley. There were an additional 15 attempted burglaries in which the suspects failed to gain entry. The vast majority of the burglaries involved little or no force by the suspects to enter the victim residences. In most cases, the suspects entered through unlocked doors or windows.
Property stolen in the burglaries included cash, iPhones, iPads, lap top computers, jewelry and in one case, the theft of an automobile.
In response to the burglaries, both the Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley Police Departments deployed additional personnel in an effort to prevent additional crimes and to apprehend the suspect or suspects.
On March 13, a resident in Fountain Valley woke to the sound of someone inside her house. She went to check on the noise and observed a suspect flee out her front door. The victim called 9-1-1 to report the interrupted burglary and patrol officers immediately responded to the location. Fountain Valley Police Officer Kevin Erskine observed a suspect lying in a flood control channel near the burglary. The suspect was initially pretending to be asleep, but ran when contacted by Officer Erskine. The suspect, a male juvenile from Huntington Beach, was arrested following a short foot pursuit.
Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley detectives worked together to conduct follow-up investigation. Their efforts have led to the recovery of stolen property and the arrest of three additional suspects. Each of the suspects are male juveniles from Huntington Beach.
Criminal charges are being pursued through the Orange County Juvenile Court for each of the four suspects.
Notwithstanding these arrests, residents are always encouraged to lock their doors and windows to prevent easy access to their property.

FACTS & STATS: Site: Arizona Stadium (51,811) -- Tucson, Arizona. Television: RSN. Home Record: Colorado 1-4, Arizona 5-1. Away Record: Colorado 0-4, Arizona 0-3. Neutral Record: Colorado 0-0, Arizona 0-0. Conference Record: Colorado 1-5, Arizona 2-4. Series Record: Colorado leads, 13-1.
GAME NOTES: Coming off a disappointing blowout loss, the Arizona Wildcats will host a team that is all too familiar with losing by large margins, when the Colorado Buffaloes enter Arizona Stadium for a Pac-12 matchup.
There really hasn't been a point in the season that could be called rock bottom for the Buffaloes, since the entire season has been pretty much an exercise in futility. Colorado was locked down on offense and lit up on defense last weekend in a 48-0 loss at home to Stanford. Colorado has now been outscored by at least 34 points in five straight games and six overall this season. The 48-point margin of defeat against Stanford wasn't even the worst one the Buffaloes have suffered with a 70-14 loss to Oregon and a 69-14 defeat to Fresno State providing even wider discrepancies on the scoreboard. With just one win in nine tries the end of the season can't come fast enough in Boulder.
Losing 66-10 to UCLA last weekend was an easy way for Arizona to fall out of the national rankings once again. After managing to push their way into top-25 after a 3-0 start, the Wildcats reclaimed a spot (No. 24) after upsetting USC. A return to its home stadium should help remedy matters with the Wildcats 5-1 on their home turf this season. Like Colorado, Arizona has shown some susceptibility to allowing large point totals, with the team giving up at least 36 points in six games this season. Arizona is 2-4 in those games which matches its conference record.
If history has any say in this game than Colorado has a huge advantage. The Buffaloes have won 13 of the previous 14 meetings between these programs. That includes a 48-29 win in Boulder last season during Colorado's inaugural campaign in the Pac-12.
There is really no limit to how much Colorado has struggled on both sides of the ball this season. The Buffaloes are dead last in just about every offensive category, including total yards (292.3 ypg) and scoring (16.1 ppg). Those numbers would be atrocious in just about every league but are especially detrimental in a conference like the Pac-12 that features so many high-powered offenses.
Head coach Jon Embree has indicated that there could be some changes in quarterback in the coming weeks. In the loss to Stanford, three different signal callers played significant minutes. Jordan Webb, who has been the starter for most of the season, completed just 4-of-10 passes for only 19 yards and an interception. Connor Wood (4-for-7, 66 yards) and Nick Hirschman (4-for-6, 12 yards) fared just slightly better, with each having little time to throw thanks to the seven sacks allowed. It remains to be seen which will get the nod this weekend but a repeat of last week's playing time could be in the works.
Colorado also got an up close and personal look at the suffocating run defense of the Stanford defense. Although the seven sacks allowed contributed much of the negative yardage, the Buffaloes finished with minus-21 yards on the ground. That was the second-lowest rushing total by a Colorado team in school history. Christian Powell (17 yards) was the lead rusher as he has been all season. Powell (488 yards, 5 TDs) is a lone bright spot for the future as he currently ranks sixth on the single-season rushing mark for a freshman.
Having three different quarterbacks attempt to build chemistry with the Colorado receivers has meant that no pass catcher as really stepped to the forefront. Nelson Spruce (29 receptions, 306 yards) leads the team in receptions and has the only 100-yard game of the season, but Nick Kasa (17 receptions, 306 yards, 3 TDs) has been more of a big play threat. Kasa leads the team in receiving touchdowns and his seven receptions of 20 yards or more are more than any other player.
The Colorado defense has been just about as big a letdown as the offense this season. Rarely are the Buffaloes even competitive in games with teams scoring a Pac-12 high 46.2 points per game against the unit. That number is not just the worst in the conference but the worst at the FBS level. Colorado is also being lit up for nearly 500 yards of total offense per game (497.3 ypg).
With opposing offenses constantly on the field there have plenty of opportunities to rack up large tackle totals which Terrel Smith (66) and Derrick Webb (64) have been the most productive at. Chidera Uzo-Diribe (6.0 sacks) has been a solid pass rusher on a team that has otherwise failed to get consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
Offense has been everything for Arizona this season and Matt Scott has been everything to that offense. That's why the news that Scott could miss Saturday's game is so devastating for the Wildcats. Scott, who is listed as questionable after suffering a concussion last week, has been phenomenal this season, throwing for 2,848 yards and 20 touchdowns on 62.7 percent passing. Scott's contributions don't stop there as he has also rushed for 369 yards and four scores. The concussion certainly slowed him last week as he completed 15- of-25 passes for a season-low 124 yards. It was the first time this season he has thrown for less than 200 yards. B.J. Denker is the likely replacement as the only other player on the roster to have taken snaps at quarterback this season.
If Scott can't go the offensive focus will shift to dynamic running back Ka'Deem Carey. That is not an entirely bad thing as Carey has had no problem picking up yards and touchdowns on the ground. Overall Carey has rushed for 1,015 yards and 13 scores on 199 carries, making him the third-most productive back in the conference. Carey did struggle against UCLA with a season-low 54 yards, which snapped a four-game streak of at least 115 yards rushing.
No matter who ends up under center the Wildcats are fortunate to have some fantastic options at receiver. Austin Hills (59 receptions, 994 yards, 7 TDs) has been an explosive pass-catching threat and one of only three players in the conference averaging more than 100 yards per game. Dan Buckner (54 receptions, 678 yards, 3 TDs) has been less prolific but is still a dangerous threat. Carey has shown his versatility by being the third most productive receiver with 28 receptions for 247 yards.
While light years ahead of Colorado in offense, Arizona really can't boast of any real advantage on defense. In fact the Wildcats are an even worse team in terms of total yardage allowed. Thus far the Wildcats are allowing an even 498 yards of offense per game which is in part a symptom of the lightning fast tempo at which the offense plays. Still failing to subdue opposing offenses even slightly is not a recipe for success.
Jake Fischer has been excellent in bringing opposing players down, ranking second in the conference with 80 tackles, including 5.5 for loss. Marquis Flowers (68 tackles. 9.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks) and Tra'Mayne Bondurant (57 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss) have also been extremely effective in getting stops especially for negative yardage.
Having a big question mark under center will not make things easy for Arizona this week. However there is just as much, if not more uncertainty in the same area for Colorado. Regardless of whether Scott starts or not, the Wildcats should prevail in this matchup.

Hotel news, opinions and updates from the team at The Sukhothai.
Dear readers,
The chef and owner of 2 Michelin Star Edition Koji Shimomura restaurant, in Tokyo, Japan, was in La Scala last month from 9-12 March 2011. Koji serves beautiful yet simple, subtle French cuisine with real finesse. Simplicity is their trademark at Edition. So many chefs overcomplicate dishes and become carried away with complex techniques while forgetting what is the central to the dish – the produce. Koji lets the ingredients speak for themselves but showcases them with faul... Read more
In February 2011, The Sukhothai Culinary & F&B teams visited the sites of two brands of Chaipattana Foundation in north Thailand, namely PatPat in Chiang Rai near Mae-Sai and the Royal Agriculture Project in Chiang Mai, Doi Angkhang, both close to the Myanmar border.
It was an eye opening and instructive experience.
Standing at 1800 m. above sea level on Doi Angkhang with brilliant views, it's hard to image drug barons and pockets of communists were knock out the area just three... Read more
Whenever I arrive in Japan, my strategy is simple: No tourist spots, no taxis and no traipsing around. We were there to eat, relax, eat and explore small neighborhoods. I make sure to arrange every meal carefully and maximize all days with meals from breakfast to supper. The ultimate culinary exploration is not always expensive and fine dining, but narrow alleys lined with inscrutable bars and one-counter eateries which are often the right place to truly fulfill your gastronomic experience to sa...

Hi again,
I went to Shikoku, the fourth largest island in Japan, southwest of Japan's main island Honshu. On southern Shikoku, with its rich nature and Japanese traditional mountain villages protected by steep mountains and gorges, I stopped along the Iya River for a delicious local snack, bamboo skewered Ayu (sweetfish) charcoal grilled with sea salt.
Ayu is a small but delicious freshwater fish that lives in rivers and feeds on aquatic plants. To select good Aya, one must first choos... Read more
Dear Readers,
It has been a long time since my last blog.
Our food promotion with 2-Michelin Star Hibiscus from London went extremely well. Chef Claude Bosi guaranteed a gastronomic experience our palates will savor for some time, serving up delicacies such as ravioli of Hen's Egg Yolk & Smoked Potato and Black Truffles or Roast Whole Foie with Sea Buckthorn Gel and Guince Szechuan Pepper Compote. Bosi shows simplicity of modern French food--unusual, surprising, and not lacking compl... Read more
In the first week of February, The Sukhothai F&B Team went on a mission to inspect the Granmonte Winery in Khao Yai and to look at the Grapes before the harvest. The harvest in Thailand has the same cycle as in South Africa.
February is the perfect time to harvest because the grapes are used to the perfect weather with nearly no rain during the cool season. However the soil is very dry and the wine has a pretty hard time to survive, which gives the grapes extra concentrated flavor due to th... Read more
The Royal Project's strawberry season is in full swing in Thailand and the pick of the crop is beautiful, sweet and tasty. This year is particular good because the species is Akihime from Japan. Akihimi has a mild sweetness that spreads through your mouth. Its sweetness and sourness is well balanced. We think that ripe and sweet Akihimi will change your thinking about local strawberries in Thailand for sure.
Look for punnets of fresh berries that smell delicious, with no signs of r... Read more
Hi everyone,
Herb gardening is not a difficult hobby to become involved in, and the rewards can be great. Unlike many other types of gardening, the plants are very inexpensive and easy to maintain, especially if you are living in Southeast Asia. The beginner can be an instant success, and as time goes by, develop into a master gardener, growing more difficult and esoteric plants. There is room for all skill levels and many different garden situations. In short, herb gardening is for everybody.

Hi everyone,
We received 2 1/2 kg Alba Truffles yesterday for our White Truffle promotion. This year's harvest seems more delicate and more intoxicatingly fragrant than last year's, with an aroma that is strong, musky and garlicky. The white truffle season runs from early October to early January, with late November and December being the peak.
Most white truffles in the market are the size of a golf ball at most, often smaller, although they can grow to be much larger. They are graded accordi... Read more
Hi readers,
In case you are in Chiang Mai, Thailand, a must try is Beef & Pork noodles in the center of Chiang Mai (please see the pictures).

Few signs of the future we were promised
Remember the cartoon series, "The Jetsons," that told us about the "future" with robots and flying cars and such? Word that a company in Massachusetts is coming out with a flying car brought memories of those promises from "The Jetsons" back to News Editor Jonathan Scott who takes a look at some other things we once thought we might have by now.

Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration
As one of America's best-known journalists, Juan Williams has established a reputation for savvy political analysis that is unencumbered by ideological allegiance or political correctness. His approach to the complex issues of politics, race relations, and civil rights is considered to be both astute and provocative. Williams is also admired for his ability to draw out the essential elements of these problems and to divorce them from the rhetoric that engulfs the real issues. According to Williams, "Too many people, both black and white, are happy with the idea that civil rights is history; it means they don't have to face what remains to be done."
A dynamic writer, Williams wrote Eyes on the Prize: America Civil Rights Years, 1954-1965 (1987), the companion book to the award-winning series by the same name. The work is an oral history of the civil rights movement recounting the national events and experiences that altered American history. Moreover, Eyes on the Prize dramatizes the lives of people who participated in revolutionary actions such as the Montgomery bus boycott, the freedom rides, and the great march from Selma to Montgomery.
The New York Times Book Review judged this Williams book to be a "fascinating, fast-moving overview. Even those who participated will find in this book reminders of the civil rights movement's incredible human and political complexity of the stops and starts that belie the neat continuum that hindsight can sometimes create."
For the past 16 years, Williams has been associated with The Washington Post as an editorial writer, columnist, and White House correspondent. He has also authored articles for a number of magazines and journals, including Fortune, The New Republic, The Atlantic Monthly, Harper's, Ebony, London Sunday Times, and The New Yorker.
Please join the Athenaeum and the Office of Black Student Affairs in commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. as Juan Williams presents his dynamic views regarding the continuing legacy of the civil rights movement and one of its greatest leaders.
The six-part series Eyes on the Prize will be shown continuously beginning at 10:00 a.m. in the Freeberg Lounge at the MMC Athenaeum.
Women's Issues/Women's Lives: A New Feminist Perspective
Tammy Bruce is no stranger to controversy. As the host of her own local radio talk show on KFI, Bruce often maintains an independent line as she tackles the political and social issues of the day. She describes herself as an atypical, activist feminist who is "pro-choice (of course!), a gun owner, an 'out' lesbian, a proponent of the death penalty, and even admits to having voted for Ronald Reagan for President in 1980."
But it was in the post-verdict period of the 0. J. Simpson saga that Bruce truly became the focal point of a national brouhaha. She is the leader of the Los Angeles chapter of NOW, the National Organization for Women, and as such, she was a vocal commentator throughout the trial. Once Simpson was acquitted, Bruce not only condemned the jury's verdict but also launched a campaign against domestic violence, using Simpson as a symbol. Bruce later became embroiled in a controversy regarding statements she made to national media regarding the priorities of race relations and domestic violence. NOW's president, Patricia Ireland, has consequently censured Bruce publicly, labelling her comments as "racially insensitive."
For her part, Bruce has used this incident to dramatize the future of NOW and the feminist movement. In the Christmas eve edition of the Los Angeles Times, Bruce contributed an opinion piece entitled "Playing Politics While 3 Women Die Each Day." In it, she questions NOW's future role in advancing feminist issues, particularly violence against women. Moreover, she stakes out her position quite clearly: "I will not be derailed by political correctness zealots or by the appeasing of those who have disliked the power and the effectiveness of our message."
At the age of 27, Bruce was the youngest person ever to be elected the president of Los Angeles NOW-the largest chapter in the country; she has held this position since 1990.
Please join the Athenaeum as Tammy Bruce engages the issues of feminism and its relation to domestic violence and race. This evening is sure to produce a lively discussion. As always, questions are encouraged, but be prepared for Bruce's unconventional and unpredictable responses.
International Terrorism and the Foreign Relations of the U.S. in the Twenty-first Century
In December 1995 CIA director John Deutch warned Congress that the world will experience a "tremendous growth" in international terrorism throughout the 1990s. For the United States, a rise in international terrorism will not only affect its foreign relations but it will influence the way American businesses conduct their overseas operations. Already the U.S. government is taking steps to stem the proliferation of this type of violence. President Clinton has designated international terrorism as one of his intelligence priorities, while federal agencies have begun to allocate more human and financial resources to divisions specializing in counterterrorism.
To address the implications of this critical issue, the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies is pleased to present Dr. Christopher Harmon. A specialist in the study of international terrorism as an instrument of warfare in relations between countries, Harmon will address the significance of this phenomenon as it influences U.S. foreign policy in the next century. His research interests include Sendero Luminoso (the Maoist revolutionary group of Peru), European terrorists such as the I.R.A., the Red Army Faction, and Action Directe. Each of these groups are considered international terrorists because they are trained, equipped, and financed by sources outside the countries in which they carry out their violent acts.
Harmon is a professor of international relations at the Command and Staff College, U.S. Marine Corps, where he teaches a course called Terrorism Today: Purposes and Practices. A former professor at the U.S. Naval War College, he has also been a public affairs fellow with the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He received his Ph.D. in international relations and government from The Claremont Graduate School.
Among his published works, Harmon has authored The Roles of Terrorism Within Insurgency, Propaganda at Pistol-Point (1992), Terrorism and Political Violence, (1992) and the upcoming Understanding Terrorism: Patterns and Current Trends.
Harmon is the first speaker in a Keck Center series entitled U.S. Foreign Policy in the Twenty-first Century.
Russian Economic and Political Reformation
5:30 p.m. reception, 6:00 p.m. dinner, 6:45 p.m. lecture
The Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum and the Keck Center for Strategic and International Studies invite you to attend the presentation of Sergei Khrushchev, an authority on foreign policy and the son of former Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev.
A senior research fellow at the Brown University Watson Institute for Foreign Policy Development, Mr. Khrushchev is currently studying Russia's transition from a central planning to a market economy. He began his career as an engineer and scientist in 1958, building cruise missiles and working on the Soviet Union's space program.
Mr. Khrushchev has written several books and articles, including Nikita Khrushchev: Crisis and Missiles (1994), Khrushchev on Khrushchev: An Inside Account of the Man and His Era, By His Son (1990), and a chapter to Disintegration or Consolidation: Natural Separatism and the Evolution of Center-Periphery Relations in the Russian Federation (1995). His writings have also appeared in the New York Times and the Washington Post.
Reservations to attend the reception and dinner can be made in person at the Athenaeum by Tuesday, January 23 at 4 p.m. No reservations are needed to attend the 6:45 p.m. lecture.
Bourgeois Virtue
DIERDRE McCLOSKEY
Deirdre McCloskey is an unconventional economist. Her reputation was first established as an historical economist with work on the relative decline of the British iron and steel industry in the pre-WW I era. Her current importance in the profession arises from what might be called the methodology and philosophy of economics. McCloskey has demonstrated the way some of our most important cultural icons-natural and social science-are rooted in subtle promises and patterns of rhetoric and ideology.
She is the author of more than a dozen books and many articles in economics with titles such as: The Consequences of Economic Rhetoric (1989), Knowledge and Persuasion in Economics (1994), and If You're So Smart (1992). Her intellectual work calls attention to the similarities in method between economics and the natural sciences and humanistic disciplines. Her views are always provocative and argued with verve and a dazzling display of knowledge across a variety of academic disiciplines. In this lecture, McCloskey will reveal some of the intersection of ideals of virtue and the realities of class and economics. Please join us for this provocative and important discussion.
Reading From His Poetry
Robert Pinsky is that rare combination of a brilliant poet, translator, and critic. The Want Bone (1990), his fourth and most recent volume of poetry, explores the intersecting and conflicting mysteries of Christianity and Judaism. Fine-hammered, cool, and penetrating, Pinsky's poetry has always been comfortable in making abstraction a vibrant part of his art as we see through to the emotional marrow of ordinary existence. In addition to his other books of poetry, An Explanation of America (Princeton, 1979), Sadness and Happiness (Princeton, 1975), and History Of My Heart (1984), Pinsky's critical works, Poetry and the World (1988) and The Situation of Poetry: Contemporary Poetry and Its Traditions (1976), have helped define the traditions and complexities of modern poetry, particularly in the negotiation between specific image and abstraction.
His translation of Dante's Inferno (1307) has been hailed as one of the greatest renderings of that poem, combining the almost untranslatable force of its terza rima with luminous, idiomatic English lines. The translation was awarded the 1995 Los Angeles Times Book Award for poetry. Pinsky has also collaborated with Czeslaw Milosz in the translation of some of the 1980 Nobel Laureate's most important poems. A former Stegner Fellow at Stanford University, Pinsky has taught at Berkeley, Wellesley, and now at Boston University.
Please join us to hear one of America's most important literary voices.

Whatever Happened to Limited Government? Or, Why You'll Still Have A Headache the Morning After They Balance the Budget, If They Balance the Budget
TUESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1996 12:15 p.m.
Michael M. Uhlmann, a Washington attorney and senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, has recently been appointed professor of government at Claremont McKenna College, mentoring students enrolled in CMC's Washington D.C. internship program. The Washington Program was started in the early '70s and is the oldest and one of the most respected internship programs in the capital. Each year 35 students are placed in government and nongovernment positions, frequently a stepping-stone to a career in Washington. The theme is politics, whether in the public or private sector. The quality of the program is reflected in its ability to attract someone of the Michael Uhlmann's stature.
Currently on sabbatical from full-time law practice, Uhlmann was for many years a partner in the international law firm, Pepper, Hamilton & Scheetz. He has had a long and distinguished career in government, including service on the staff of the U.S. Senate, the Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the White House. He was assistant attorney general in the Ford Administration, domestic policy advisor to Ronald Reagan, and headed President George Bush's legal policy transition team in 1988.
A graduate of Yale University and University of Virginia Law School, Uhlmann received his doctorate in government from The Claremont Graduate School. He has taught at the undergraduate, graduate, and law school levels, most recently at the George Mason Law School.
A Washington insider known for his dynamism and humor as well as political acumen, Michael Uhlmann is a speaker you won't want to miss. Lunch will be served at 11:45 a.m. The lecture begins at 12:15 p.m.
The Hispanic Condition: Reflections on Culture and Identity in America
According to the 1990 census, over 22 million Hispanics live in the United States, comprising approximately 9 percent of the total population; by the year 2000, these numbers will grow beyond 31 million to represent 11.6 percent of the U.S. Amherst professor Ilan Stavans engages many of the issues raised by the growing presence of this heterogeneous minority group in The Hispanic Condition: Reflections on Culture and Identity in America (1995).
Stavans uses history, literature, and art to explain the cultural similarities and differences of the Hispanic community in the U.S., a collective made up of five major groups-Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Central Americans and South Americans. Although he contends that Hispanic immigrants are different from their European counterparts from an earlier era, Stavans argues that they too make lasting contributions to American culture and society. He claims, moreover, that Hispanics serve as a bridge between the U.S. and Latin America.
Often reflecting on his own experiences, Stavans attempts to define what it means to be Hispanic in the U.S. He writes: "I have spent almost ten years trying to understand what it means to be a Mexican and an American, separately and together. I believe we are, and will always be, perpetual alien residents, never fully here. We are a different variety simply because, unlike previous immigrants, most of us didn't come to America; instead, America came to us.
Apart from being a faculty member at Amherst, Stavans is a novelist, critic, and translator. A writer in both Spanish and English, his works include The One-Handed Pianist and Other Stories (1996), Bandido: Oscar 'Zeta' Acosta and the Chicano Experience (1995), and Imagining Columbus: The Literary Voyage (1992). Born in Mexico, Stavans became a U.S. citizen in 1994.
Stavans earned a B.A. in psychology from the Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana. He holds an M.A. from the Jewish Theological Seminary of New York City as well as an M.A., M. Phil., and a Ph.D. in Latin American letters from Columbia.
Reading From Her Work
In the introduction to The Moths and Other Stories (1985), the writing of Helena Maria Viramontes is described: "Acutely aware of women's dilemmas, Viramontes creates female characters who are a contradictory blend of strengths and weaknesses, struggling against lives of unfulfilled potential and restrictions forced upon them because of their sex." As such, Viramontes is a fiction writer who has become recognized for distinct style and eloquence.
With critics comparing her writings to those of John Steinbeck and Isabel Allende, Viramontes' first novel is considered a haunting portrait of the lives of migrant farm workers as they travel through America's fields. Under the Feet of Jesus (1995) recounts the story of a young woman who defies the poverty and injustice that overwhelm the lives of the other migrant laborers around her.
Thomas Keneally, author of Schindler's List (1982) and a former Athenaeum guest, says of this work, "Viramontes brings to her remarkable tale a wealth of robust colors and magic which is in the bone. After the normal liberal diet of the writing most of us do, readers will take to the lushness of Under the Feet of Jesus like a thirsty traveler to a well."
A creative writing professor at Cornell University, Viramontes is also community organizer and coordinator of the Los Angeles Latino Writers Association. She is currently at work on a novella, "Their Dogs Came With Them" (1996). "Paris Rats in East L.A." (1993), a collection of short stories, has appeared in several anthologies, including The Heath Anthology of American Literature (1993), Literature Alive: The Art of Oral Interpretation (1994), and Best Essays by American Women. She has edited Chicana Creativity & Criticism: Charting New Frontiers in American Literature (1988) and Chicana Writes: On Word & Film (1995). In 1989, she was awarded a National Endowment for the Arts in Fiction.
We hope that you are relaxed after a warm winter break with family and friends and ready to start classes again. The Athenaeum has planned another semester of provocative speakers and timely issues. If you're an "Ath regular," we eagerly await your return. If you have yet to attend a lecture this year, then we encourage you to avail yourself of this unique place; the Ath can offer much more than tea-time sweets.
One such well-hidden secret is Open Forum Lunch. Each Wednesday, the Athenaeum opens its doors at 12:00 noon to the first 48 persons who drop by Parents Dining Room. There you can lunch on the delicacies offered by chefs Dave and Sid as you meet with friends or converse with a professor. Reservations are not required and attire is casual.
Another benefit that often eludes students is the head table. If there's a speaker you'd like to meet or question, come by and sign up for the head table. It's the perfect opportunity to talk to a writer about getting your first work published or quiz a politician on a position. There are no requirements and little pressure; you will simply dine with your peers as you engage in lively conversation with the evening's guest. However, if you cannot meet your reservation, please cancel before noon on the day of the event. This allows those on the waiting list an opportunity to attend.

Woods Named Daktronics First Team All-American; National POTY Runner-Up
March 23, 2011
EDINBORO, P.A. University of Alaska Fairbanks senior Parrish West has been named the 2011 Daktronics Division II Mens Basketball Ron Lenz National Player of the Year. Pfeiffer University senior Chris Woods (Thomasville, NC) was named a first-team All-American as the National Player of the Year Runner-Up. The team is sponsored by Daktronics, Inc., an acknowledged world leader in scoring, timing and programmable display systems for virtually every sport at every level of competition. The team is voted on by the members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
West is a 65, 190 lb. forward who ranks as the top scorer in NCAA Division II and the Great Northwest Athletic Conference at 27.2 ppg. He also stands sixth in the GNAC in rebounding (6.2 ppg.) and third in steals (1.8 per game). He made 241 of 483 field goal attempts (49.9 pct.), including 29 of 98 three-pointers, and was a frequent visitor to the free throw line, making 170 of 221 (76.9 pct.). He added 56 assists and 45 steals.
The Chicago, IL native scored 681 points, breaking the school record for single-game scoring with 43 points against Saint Martins, five days after scoring 40 points vs. Simon Fraser. He set a GNAC record with 13 games of 30-or-more points, along with seven consecutive 30-point games and two 40-point efforts. He was a first team All-GNAC choice. West led the Nanooks in scoring in 21 of 25 games
The Daktronics first team features five seniors, with two of those players leading their teams to the Elite Eight. All told, four players are still alive for the NCAA Division II National Championship.
West Libertys Corey Pelle and Jordan Fortney earned first and third team Daktronics All-American honors, respectively. Bloomfields Gage Daye is also a first team choice, while Bellarmines Jeremy Kendle was accorded third team honors.
Daye was the lone player to be a repeat selection from last year, moving up from the second team to earn first team accolades this year.
The First Team
In addition to West, the 2011 Daktronics first team is led by Chris Woods of Pfeiffer, the Daktronics Southeast Region Player of the Year. A 65 forward, he was named the Conference Carolinas Player of the Year after averaging a league-high 24.3 ppg. and ranking second in rebounding (10.0 rpg.) and field goal percentage (59.6 pct.) and fourth in blocked shots (37). He also shot 82.0 percent from the line (196 of 239). He ranked 19th in Division II in rebounding
Woods was a first team all-conference selection for the third straight season after averaging 22.2 ppg. as a junior and 16.1 ppg. as a sophomore. He concluded his career with over 2,000 career points while scoring 30-or-more points ten times in 2010-11 and finishing with 17 double-doubles.
Gage Daye, a 62 guard from Bloomfield, earns Daktronics All-American honors for the second straight year. The senior has led the Deacons to a 24-8 record and a berth in the Elite Eight.

Brand Story
Once upon a time in a small Indiana town, a baby was born... No, wait a minute... make that two babies. As the identical twins grew, they developed rather peculiar habits.
The one known as Jean wore spaghetti in her hair and used the glowin' behinds of fireflies to create elaborate face paintings. Jane, on the other hand, spent hours counting Raisinettes, biting them in half, then trading the smaller versions to her younger cousins for real-size M&Ms. "Miraculous," said the townsfolk. "Jean has a right brain, Jane has a left... together these two just might do something crazy!"
And they did! In 1976, the Ford twins created a unique San Francisco beauty boutique with a whimsical candy store atmosphere. "Who says makeup has to be serious to be good?" they said. The shop grew famous for delivering quick fixes for every gal's peskiest beauty dilemmas, and with a "double" dose of wackiness mixed with know how, the twins successfully built Benefit Cosmetics into a global beauty brand. The "friskiest luxury brand" now has over 2,000 counters in more than 30 countries.
Jean's daughters and Jane's nieces, Maggie and Annie Ford-Danielson, are Benefit's next generation, brand ambassadors and global trend artists in their own right, eager to infuse the brand with eclectic tastes. The fab four are guaranteed to keep the creative juices flowing, ensuring that Benefit continue to deliver feel-good products for every woman.

Tetsuro Hoshino was once a boy willing to give anything to board the Three-Nine, including a promise to accompany a mysterious woman named Maetel to the other side of the Galaxy, if only to fulfill a vow to avenge the cruel death of his mother at the hands of the villainess Count Mecha.
Now, two years after the events of Galaxy Express 999, Earth has become a battlefield, and Tetsuro is summoned to board the Three-Nine once more. All questions will be answered and all mysteries revealed as Tetsuro embarks on a journey the destination of which is unknown even to the Galaxy Express Railways locomotive C6248 itself... a journey which will reveal a secret so awful, even Maetel herself can hardly bear speak of it.

IBM® System x® advancements in performance, scalability, and reliability can help you take your business where you want it to go. At IBM we provide the technology that will help your business innovate and thrive. We make that possible today and have a vision and dedication to continued innovation for tomorrow.
IBM X6 enterprise servers
In organizations in every industry, big data and analytics workloads deliver the actionable insight that enables business leaders to drive faster decision making. You need systems that you can deploy with confidence to run your mission-critical applications, decrease operating costs and support your cloud computing plans.
The IBM System x3850 X6 and IBM System x3950 X6 rack-mount servers featuring exclusive IBM X-Architecture® innovations and Intel® Xeon® Processor E7 v2 families, can help you meet these challenges with revolutionary levels of processor and storage performance, memory capacity and resiliency previously unseen in x86 servers.
X6 servers are fast, agile and resilient
Offering extraordinary performance for big data, analytics, cloud computing, database and ERP workloads, X6 servers can provide:
- 100 percent faster compute performance - accelerating decision-making capabilities while decreasing costs1
- 3 times more memory capacity for increased application/VM performance2
- 50 percent more flash storage capacity by adding IBM eXFlash DIMMs3

As your business changes and grows, the ability to address evolving data center needs with systems that provide easy to deploy solutions today and flexibility for tomorrow is critical. X6 servers offer long-term flexibility with a modular design that supports processor and memory technology upgrades to the next generation as workload demands change–eliminating "rip and replacement"5 . These capabilities can reduce acquisition costs by up to 28%.6
X6 servers can help extend the advantages of cloud computing to mission-critical applications. Self-healing processor, I/O and memory features can improve availability by proactively identifying potential failures and taking action to correct them.
