Right now the US is about 44% of the global market cap, thus a person doing this would have a 56% international allocation. For more details look at the Vanguard ETF VT. This is usually considered the maximum recommended international allocation.
This is discussed widely in many other threads.
livesoft wrote:The polls could be giving you a false impression. As an example, I want nominally 50% international, but because international has done well I actually have slightly more than 50% of equities in international. If the poll has an option "more than 50%", then I have to choose that and I fall into that 10% category that you mentioned.
I will go out on a limb and guess that a significant fraction of the folks with more than 50% international actually do not live in the US. Another fraction is probably really nominally 50%.
That doesn't leave many others to explain their reasons.
z3r0c00l wrote:The reasoning for me is as follows...
Firstly, I attempt to own the market as I have been convinced by experts that it is the most efficient way to invest. So owning the market gives me a bit more than 50% intl (presuming you mean of equity holdings.)
Another almost equally important factor is diversification. We all tend to agree that it is not smart to own a huge amount of company stock; if the company goes under, you are both out of a job, and your investments tank. Although I think the United States is more stable than any single company, I know that a severe economic downturn like a depression would possibly put me out of work. In the unlikely but possible event that a depression here is not as bad elsewhere, say in Russia, India, China, I want some of my money there.
Less damaging but more likely is the possibility that the United States will fall behind the rest of the world in growth at some point, perhaps for decades, possibly for the rest of my life. Either the US will do better, worse, or the same as the rest of the world. I have no plans to pick the lucky region and beat the world market, instead I plan on matching the world market. When it comes to investing, I want the sure thing. And the only sure thing is that you can match the market and be content with it.
Also, not for nothing, I like to own spicy things like emerging markets and NICs. I am convinced that they are likely to do well in the future, at great risk to investors and possibly great reward. I would not own them above their market share, but would worry about not taking some exposure to them also. Missing out on small parts of the world market could mean missing out on a significant amount of growth.
Nathan Drake wrote:I tilt more towards intl due to market cap and the fact that intl is attractively valued right now.

November 13 – March 26, 2014
The long-standing photographic tradition of Peru spans more than a century of visual production, closely linked with documenting the social and regional characteristics of the coast, the Andean region and the Amazon forest. For Lima, the capital city, the 1970s were a period stamped by changes so profound that the size and social structure of Lima was forever redefined. No wonder those years became witness to a drastic change in photographic representation, and Lima became the new center for the production and development of Peruvian photography.
Forty years later, the transformation of Lima continues. Overflowing growth together with imminent social changes challenges the enduring relationship between Lima and the Pacific Ocean. The many contradictions existing between city and sea are further exacerbated by conflicting interests. Colonization, recreation, migration, inequality, environmental degradation, violence, and public access are all current issues underlying the works of these contemporary photographers.
From the northern to its southern boundary, Lima covers 130 kilometers of urban coastline. Each of the 16 artists captures various ways in which the town relates to the sea, using approaches including documentary, digital collage, image motion, conceptual and even photojournalistic techniques. These make up an extensive visual summary, one which ultimately links Lima´s wide heterogeneous range of cultures with its diverse photographic tradition. On the 500th anniversary of the sighting of the Pacific Ocean by Vasco Nunez de Balboa, it is clear that today both city and photography are so overwhelming that they defy comprehension if looked upon from a single place. Rather, the intersection of art, urbanism and nature faces a broad sea of multiple perspectives and opportunities.

Coney Island Artists and the Amusement Utopia
June 24 – October 25, 2013
Bambi the Mermaid / Aaron Beebee / Zoe Beloff / Coney Island Hysterical Society/ Homer Croy / Richard Eagan / William F. Mangels / Philomena Marano / Steve Powers / Marie A. Roberts / Dick D. Zigun
A century ago, there was a revolution in Western ideas of work and leisure that opened up new opportunities for creative entrepreneurs to make their marks on the world. New technologies of display in museums, department stores and amusement parks created a topsy-turvy world in which the skills of artists and creative thinkers were in remarkably high demand, and individuals who could think creatively were suddenly hailed as leaders instead of misfits. These new industries relied on the vision of creative individuals to make money and offered exciting new opportunities for artists and visionaries to make their marks on society, elevating popular culture and paving the way for pop artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein generations later.
In the 115 years since George C. Tilyou opened Steeplechase Park in Coney Island, Brooklyn, artists, small business owners, and creative individuals have been the leaders in a narrow field of entertainment and amusement that privileged creativity and textual prowess in architecture and design, and offered visitors a place to lose themselves in environments created by nominal outsiders. This strange, special environment continues to look like a world reflected in a funhouse mirror - where a misfit can be mayor and normal, middle-of-the road people are hailed as genius superstars.
The artists in this exhibition have all, at some point in their careers, been inspired by the unexpected freedoms that the amusement industry (at its height as well as in its decline) provides for creative thinkers. They have each gravitated to this nurturing space for their own creative outlet, and made the creative arm of the amusement industry all the richer for it. Inspired by the fantastic stories of Coney Island as a home for outsiders and "freaks", they all create work that is at times literary and performative – and that references the history of amusement. "Topsy Turvy" celebrates the utopian concepts that bind this evolving artistic community, wherever their work takes them, as it continues to be shaped by shared interests and contemporary practices.

Yesterday in one sentence: Luis Suarez really bit someone again, England bored us again, Greece went through on a soft late penalty and there might not be a more enjoyable team in the tournament than Colombia.
What's on tap: Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Iran, noon, ESPN2; Nigeria vs. Argentina, noon, ESPN; Ecuador vs. France, 4 p.m., ESPN; Honduras vs. Switzerland, 4 p.m., ESPN2.
What you'll see: In Group F, Argentina has already advanced and has a pretty straightforward path to the top spot in the group. A point against a plucky Nigerian side puts Argentina top of the group, and the good news for the Argentines is this game might have a little more flow to it than the slog against Iran.

Nigeria could be in trouble with a loss and an Iran win, though Iran winning by two (or winning at all) seems unlikely given how Carlos Queiroz has the Iranians playing. The Bosnians will be looking to salvage its first point in a disappointing tournament.
None of the four teams in the late set of games are mathematically eliminated, though Honduras would have to beat Switzerland by a lot to go through. France, on the other hand, could be matched with six points but is unlikely to give up its big margin in goal differential (plus-six).
France has been one of the more impressive teams in the entire tournament, which is bad news for Ecuador, which could be jumped and eliminated with a loss and a Switzerland win. The Swiss side was emasculated by France when those two sides met last week, but with it all on the line, one of the best qualifiers from Europe had better come through.

Stewart: Goosing all in good fun
Tony Stewart has always had the reputation for being a bit cheeky.
GETTING CHEEKYTony Stewart surprises DeLana Harvick, and cameras catch him in the act.
Many drivers have pre-race rituals, but nothing less than a goose will do for the three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion when it comes to garnering good luck. But he never expected getting a handful of the backside of fellow competitor Kevin Harvick's wife, DeLana, would create such uproar when the video went viral.
"This is old news," Stewart said Tuesday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. "I guess it's just the first time the cameras caught us. But we've been doing that ever since I was driving the Nationwide car with them. We've always joked around and horsed around like that. It just seems like when it was caught on camera it was a lot bigger deal for some reason.
"I didn't even know that anybody saw it. It wasn't something that was out of the normal for us. Kevin comes up and gets me. I get DeLana. DeLana gets both of us. We're always just messing around, not necessarily at the same time."
Stewart's friendship with the Harvicks has blossomed over the years. He first drove a car for Kevin Harvick Inc. in 2004. The following year, he won the season opener driving the No. 33 for KHI and its boss, DeLana.
Stewart has also been known to walk unannounced into the Harvick's motor coach, catching Kevin in the shower or DeLana still asleep in bed.
"But that's a whole different story," Stewart said.
Still, it's usually the art of the surprise that brings good fortune. Sunday's pinch paid off with a sixth-place finish in the Chase for the Sprint Cup opener at Chicagoland Speedway.
"I drove for them for a long time, and I have a great friendship with them," Stewart said. "It always makes her jump, so it's something that we've always joked around about and talked about it being good luck. It's always been good luck for us. You got to do what works."
Although Stewart's victims seldom turn the other cheek, it's all a matter of the prankster knowing how to pick his partners.
"I've never grabbed anybody that I thought would smack me," Stewart said. "I'm not going to grab someone I may offend because they know I'm not doing it in any more than a playful way."

OSLO - An Islamist militant group with ties to Syria may be planning an attack in Norway within days, a top security official warned Thursday.

I know I look like a tourist, which I am, but I found this wallet in the travel section of my local target. I can wear it around my neck. I carry all my important stuff in it. My park ticket, credit card, money, any other cards and paper things I may need as I tour the parks. I usually tuck it inside my shirt, or t-shirt, so it isn't so obvious. I love it, and I don't travel without it.

Wulfers—a 1968 graduate of North Central College who was born in Berlin, Germany—is among the leading female minimalist and conceptual artists of her time, author Daniel Tiffany wrote in the July 13 edition of Hypoallergic magazine. The publication bears the motto "Sensitive To Art & Its Discontents."
Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, Natalie Cole and Jars of Clay are just three of the big-name artists performing at North Central College during its 2014-2015 Fine and Performing Arts Season.

Chicago Ave. The public is invited to meet the artist during a reception from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, June 29, in the gallery. Complimentary refreshments will be served.

Shereen Ilahi, Ph.D., was granted tenure and promoted to associate professor of history
Wendy Koenig, Ph.D., was granted tenure
North Central College recognized Ian Wright as the Outstanding Senior Man and Christina Richardson as the Outstanding Senior Woman for 2014 during the College's annual Honors Convocation on May 13.

Emotionally charged, stunningly beautiful and delivering unprecedented dramatic character performance, Heavenly Sword showcases the power of PLAYSTATION 3. A dramatic tale of revenge sees Nariko, a fiery red-haired heroine embark on a quest for vengeance against an invading King and his army. The story builds around the ancient Heavenly Sword which once belonged to a powerful deity. It can never be wielded by a mortal without it draining their life-force, killing them within hours.
When the invading King (played by Andy Serkis) destroys the warrior clan that guards the Heavenly Sword, the clan leader's daughter, Nariko, takes up the sword in a desperate fight for survival. Nariko must now pay the ultimate price as she embarks on one last mission of vengeance against the King and his army before her life is finally drawn to a close…
Andy Serkis, the world's leading CG actor, famous for his roles as Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings" and Kong in "King Kong", was heavily involved in the creative process. As well as starring in Heavenly Sword as the villain, King Botan, Andy was a major contributor to the character development, writing, casting, directing and performance capture for the PLAYSTATION 3 game

Though good as it may be, it's not exactly worth 60€ (60$/40£) since you can easily finish it in a weekend's rental. Nevertheless, I'm dying to see what Ninja Theory can do with the sequel, which may well be the classic this game could have been

Don't get me wrong, financial donations make a huge difference in our society. They help promote and improve higher education. They help find cures for devastating diseases. But what concerns me is that we may be unintentionally adding a degree of selfishness to our giving.
Cause marketing isn't perfect. But we need to weigh the results of a study involving 300 college students with the tremendous growth and generally positive reception cause marketing has received.

Minonk is a city in Minonk Township, Woodford County, Illinois, United States. The population was 2,078 at the 2010 census, down from 2,168 at the 2000 census. It is part of the Peoria, Illinois Metropolitan Statistical Area.
The name "Minonk" is an Objibwa word meaning "good place".[citation needed]
Minonk is located at 40°54′8″N 89°2′10″W / 40.90222°N 89.03611°W (40.902357, -89.035992).[1]
According to the 2010 census, the city has a total area of 2.42 square miles (6.3 km2), all land.[2] Minonk is surrounded by some of the best farm land in the world.[citation needed] Corn and soybeans are staple crops.
At the 2000 census,[3] there were 2,168 people, 841 households and 587 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,587.6 per square mile (611.0/km²). There were 885 housing units at an average density of 648.1 per square mile (249.4/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 98.99% White, 0.05% African American, 0.05% Asian, 0.28% from other races, and 0.65% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.20% of the population.
There were 841 households of which 31.9% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 57.9% were married couples living together, 9.2% had a female householder with no husband present, and 30.2% were non-families. 26.8% of all households were made up of individuals and 15.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.50 and the average family size was 3.02.
25.9% of the population were under the age of 18, 6.9% from 18 to 24, 27.5% from 25 to 44, 19.0% from 45 to 64, and 20.8% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 39 years. For every 100 females there were 91.4 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 86.0 males.
The median household income was $44,028 and the median family income was $50,379. Males had a median income of $35,859 compared with $22,500 for females. The per capita income for the city was $17,688. About 7.0% of families and 8.6% of the population were below the poverty line, including 12.9% of those under age 18 and 7.7% of those age 65 or over.
The founding of Minonk corresponds with the construction of the Illinois Central Railroad. The Illinois Central Railroad main line was completed in 1854, and ran through Section Seven, which eventually became the City of Minonk. The plat of the town was first recorded on November 7, 1854.[4]
David Neal, an agent with the Illinois Central Railroad, is credited for naming the city. Local folklore provides varying accounts about the origins of the name "Minonk." One version states that he originally named the area after a street in Boston, MA, where he owned property. A second story suggests that he changed the name of the settlement, originally referred to as "Marquette" on old French maps, to the Ojibwe word "Minonk," meaning "a good place." Minonk is the only city in the world with that name.[4]
Early settlers were attracted to Minonk by a variety of livelihoods. Many came to work on the railroad. Others settled in the area to farm on the abundant, rich farmland. However, coal mining was the leading industry in the early years of Minonk. The first coal mines were developed in the 1860s, and at one point employed over 300 men.[5] Two mines operated in Minonk: the first mine was located on the north edge of the city, and the second was situated a half-mile north of town.[6] The distinctive slag piles resulting from mine residue were referred to as "Jumbos" by local citizens. One slag heap currently remains on Minonk's northern border.
In late 2011, a 75-turbine wind farm, that could deliver $360,000 in fees and permits for Woodford County, will start construction (another part of the project is in neighboring Livingston County, Illinois, with 25 towers). The plot of land was purchased by Navitas Energy Inc. in 2009. In 2010, its application to use the land as a wind farm was approved. After approval, the land was sold to Minonk Wind farm LLC.
(NOTE) The Wind Farm Companies do NOT purchase the land. They lease it from the current property owners and pay property taxes for the portion of the property the wind farm utilizes. This is what generates the additional tax money that the county retains.

Beaten track
Twice in the past month Online contributors have complained about buying music on the net. I suspect they are relying too much on the highly publicised sites. I start at www.allmusic.com for artist details especially discographies, catalogue numbers and track listings. Then I make tracks to www.boxman.co.uk or www.101cd.com to check prices and availability. If they can't supply what I want for less than a tenner I may look at www.cdzone.co.uk. Apart from the occasional delay, I have had no problems.

I have a Nikon F2A for sale. I bought it from an estate auction about a year ago. Planned on starting a Nikon system found Minolta more to my liking. The door seals are gone but the Mirror foam is intact. Shutter speeds are accurate. I don't know if the meter is accurate but it turns on and there's no corrosion in the battery chamber. The viewfinder is clean but not clear. Small little black specks on the bottoms. And finally the physical condition is good. There's some sticker residue on each side close to the top. And a small dent on the top of the finder.
Attached is a Nikkor H Auto 28mm 3.5 that's factory AI converted. Glass is clean. The focus is a bit loose, there's not much resistance there but it still focuses fine. No fungus or haze. Asking for 170 shipped. UPS or USPS. Your choice.

The paper quality was amazing and ordering the products were so easy! I actually ordered blank textured programs and used them to print large table numbers for my reception. They fit great through my printer and I even used a few as blank cards for thank you notes and tip cards for our wedding vendors."

An ionic bond (or electrovalent bond) is a type of chemical bond that can often form between metal and non-metal ions (or polyatomic ions such as ammonium) through electrostatic attraction. In short, it is a bond formed by the attraction between two oppositely charged ions.
The metal donates one or more electrons, forming a positively charged ion or cation with a stable electron configuration. These electrons then enter the non metal, causing it to form a negatively charged ion or anion which also has a stable electron configuration. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions causes them to come together and form a bond.
For example, common table salt is sodium chloride. When sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) are combined, the sodium atoms each lose an electron, forming a cation (Na+), and the chlorine atoms each gain an electron to form an anion (Cl-). These ions are then attracted to each other in a 1:1 ratio to form sodium chloride (NaCl).
The removal of electrons from the atoms is endothermic and causes the ions to have a higher energy. There may also be energy changes associated with breaking of existing bonds or the addition of more than one electron to form anions. However, the attraction of the ions to each other lowers their energy. Ionic bonding will occur only if the overall energy change for the reaction is favourable – when the bonded atoms have a lower energy than the free ones. The larger the resulting energy change the stronger the bond. The low electronegativity of metals and high electronegativity of non-metals means that the energy change of the reaction is most favorable when metals lose electrons and non-metals gain electrons.
Pure ionic bonding is not known to exist. All ionic compounds have a degree of covalent bonding. The larger the difference in electronegativity between two atoms, the more ionic the bond. Ionic compounds conduct electricity when molten or in solution. They generally have a high melting point and tend to be soluble in water.

"During these tough economic times, Americans are reining in their spending wherever possible. The Executive Branch should be mindful of this. Reports of excessively lavish events, however, indicate the opposite."
"These documents paint a disturbing picture indicating that elements of the Libyan government might have been complicit in the September 11, 2012 attack on the compound and the murder of four Americans."
"This report details numerous specific rules and regulatory actions advanced by the Obama Administration which will severely restrict the development of abundant and reliable energy resources," Chairman Issa said.
"The Administration should have disclosed these emails directly to Congress and the American people. The Department of Energy failed to produce many of these emails, but the Committee received them from other sources."
"The report discloses widespread management failures within the hierarchy of the Justice Department. The Justice Department has yet to evaluate these management issues and implement structural changes to prevent another disaster like Operation Fast and Furious from occurring."
CompleteColorado.com has obtained emails that seem to directly contradict Plouffe's answer, and also challenge the President's notion that the DOE's loan decisions were universally autonomous within the agency.
"Not only was the program poorly thought-out, mismanaged and dysfunctional, but it served as a slush fund to reward friends of the Obama Administration. Millions of dollars went to groups like the National Council of La Raza, the Blue Green Alliance and the US Steelworkers union."
"This lack of transparency raises questions about the motives behind the Administration's apparent reluctance to inform Congress and the public about its regulatory plans. Due to the impending election, it does raise concerns that the Administration is holding back this information…"
"The Committee is also concerned that DOE may have similarly failed to protect taxpayers in the case of other companies that obtained DOE loans and then restructured those agreements to attract outside capital," Issa wrote.
"The Libyan rights activist who was highlighted by the Obama administration in news accounts as having not been 'publicly associated with the U.S.' until the Oversight Committee released documents had actually been brought to the U.S. in December 2011 by the State Department and her trip is highlighted on the Internet."

Parents worried Johnny Manziel is out of control and more revelations about Texas A&M QB
Photo: MICHAEL STRAVATO/NYT
Initially, Manziel's own family was swept up in the mania that followed his rise to fame. According to Thompson, Manziel's grandmother stole copies of an Auburn newspaper from a hotel that featured Manziel on the cover, and his parents wanted to get vanity license plates that read "JFFMOM" and "JFFDAD," a reference to the JFF nickname that was given to Manziel on A&M message boards. JFF stands for Johnny [expletive] Football. The story says Manziel's sister, Meri, was the one who talked her parents out of it.

Roy Williams didn't think the class was fake. The students didn't think this class was fake. Easy? Sure. Fake? No. In fact they weren't fake at all, they were real. But was the class worth any credits, i.e. did it deserve accreditation? I would say that it didn't, given the way it was graded. However, to suggest that students or coaches should be responsible for vetting these courses for accreditation purposes is silly.
You know what seems to be lost on you is the fact that the university self-reported this incident. I would say, initially that there was a lack of institutional control that allowed this course to be offered in the first place. But again, this isn't the students or coaches fault.
In any case this will be my last statement on the matter until we find out what punishment the NCAA decides to hand out.
stankowalski added a post in a topic: UNC receives Notice of AllegationsIf Roy knew about it, I'd be worried.
And again, the Syracuse case and this one aren't similar. Syracuse was cited as having members of the basketball staff actually DO the school work for the players. Not the case with UNC. Syracuse (namely Stan Kissel) tried to have one of Melo's grade's changed from the previous year in order to make him eligible. UNC never tried altering grades. I could go on and on. The point being that you have to look at each case individually, there is no blanket punishment.
Look, I know you're dying for UNC to have to forfeit wins or even championship's in men's basketball...not going to happen. And it shouldn't.
stankowalski added a post in a topic: UNC receives Notice of AllegationsI highly doubt the basketball department has to worry about anything coming out of this. Mainly because of the reasons already stated here and in all the reports. Bottom line is that Roy Williams didn't know there was anything wrong with this class, it's not his job to know...if it's being offered by the school why would Roy think anything was wrong with it?
Half you guys probably think Roy came up with this class himself...or at least hope he did.
stankowalski added a post in a topic: UNC receives Notice of AllegationsAnd that STILL doesn't implicate Williams.
Look, in the end, what we have here is a paper class. A class that Mr. Walden and other athletic academic adviser's saw as an easy way for students to make a good grade. Mr. Walden didn't provide accreditation for this course nor any of the other adviser's. Walden and other athletic academic adviser's were simply doing their job.
It's just stupid to compare something like this to blatant disregard for NCAA bylaw's such as the Ohio State case.
stankowalski added a post in a topic: UNC receives Notice of AllegationsOhio State players accepted money and other things in exchange for jersey's and rings while the coach knew about it. They KNEW it was wrong and did it anyway and got caught.
Some UNC players may have taken an AFAM class that has since garnered criticism regarding the legitimacy of this course. It is not the student's job to question the validity of the classes being offered, they sign up and take them. (And btw, there has been NO proof that Roy steered any of his players to take these classes.)
If anyone is at fault in the UNC scandal, it begins with the accreditation of the university, not the student athletes or the coaches.

Superstar Amitabh Bachchan becomes the most-followed Bollywood star on the microblogging website
At 15-odd million likes, he may be second only to Salman Khan (19-odd million) on Facebook, but it is Amitabh Bachchan (@SrBachchan) who reigns supreme over the Twitterverse, at least as far as Bollywood celebrities are concerned.
The actively online superstar recently reached the 10-million milestone on the microblogging site, leaving Shah Rukh Khan behind at a distant 8.74 million. Salman comes third at 7.99 million, Priyanka Chopra fourth (6.8mn) and Hrithik fifth (6.33mn).
The actor joined Twitter in May 2010, has put out 33,200 tweets since, and constantly puts out updates, along with retweets of the stuff he likes and even posts pictures almost every day.

Aristophanes has enjoyed a conspicuous revival in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Greece. Here, Gonda Van Steen provides the first critical analysis of the role of the classical Athenian playwright in modern Greek culture, explaining how the sociopolitical "venom" of Aristophanes' verses remains relevant and appealing to modern Greek audiences. Deriding or challenging well-known figures and conservative values, Aristophanes' comedies transgress authority and continue to speak to many social groups in Greece who have found in him a witty, pointed, and accessible champion from their "native" tradition.
The book addresses the broader issues reflected in the poet's revival: political and linguistic nationalism, literary and cultural authenticity versus creativity, censorship, and social strife. Van Steen's discussion ranges from attitudes toward Aristophanes before and during Greece's War of Independence in the 1820s to those during the Cold War, from feminist debates to the significance of the popular music integrated into comic revival productions, from the havoc transvestite adaptations wreaked on gender roles to the political protest symbolized by Karolos Koun's directorial choices.
Crossing boundaries of classical philology, critical theory, and performance studies, the book encourages us to reassess Aristophanes' comedies as both play-acts and modern methods of communication. Van Steen uses material never before accessible in English as she proves that Aristophanes remains Greece's immortal comic genius and political voice.

Herring announces office changes
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Attorney General Mark Herring says he's instituting changes to make his office run more efficiently and bring transparency to its operations.
Herring says the office is procuring case management and document management software to replace current methods that involve extensive paper copies. He says the changes will make it easier to track cases and meet deadlines.
The office also has hired its first compliance and transparency counsel, who will oversee compliance with Freedom of Information Act requests, conflict of interest laws and internal ethics policies.
Herring is also instituting a policy on the hiring and management of outside counsel.

Charles Kaufman (judge)
Charles Kaufman (1920–2004) was a judge for the Third Circuit Court of Michigan, with jurisdiction over Southeast Michigan and its largest city, Detroit, MI.
Early Biography[edit]
Born in 1920,[1] Kaufman served as a navigator for the Army Air Force during World War II. He became a POW (prisoner of war) in Japanese prison camp when his plane was shot down after 27 missions.[2][3]
After the war, Kaufman graduated from Wayne State University Law School in 1948, and joined his father's firm before winning the election for Common Pleas Court Judge in 1959, and Wayne County Third Circuit Court of Michigan in 1964 where he served for 30 years.[3] He also was a candidate for the First District of the Michigan Court of Appeals in 1968 and 1982,[1] and a Michigan State Supreme Court candidate in 1976.[1]
Third Circuit Court[edit]
During his tenure as Third Circuit Court, Kaufman was known for leniency towards first time offenders. In 1977, when a 17-year old African American male, Greg Mathis, was arrested on a concealed-weapons charge, Kaufman handed a sentence of probation, provided that Mathis enrolled and passed a G.E.D. course in six months.[4] Mathis turned away from gang behavior, and in 1994, he went on to become the youngest judge elected to the 36th District Court in Detroit, eventually becoming a popular television personality as Judge Mathis.[4]
Vincent Chin ruling[edit]
Kaufman is the judge who sentenced former Chrysler plant superintendent Ronald Ebens and his stepson Michael Nitz on March 16, 1983 to three years probation and $3,780 in fines and court costs after they were convicted of manslaughter for the killing of Vincent Chin.[5] Asian American advocacy groups were outraged. Ebens had gone with Nitz to hunt down Chin and the only other Asian in his group of four friends and had Nitz hold Chin down as Ebens used a baseball bat to viciously beat Chin in the head. Though Ebens was still employed by Chrysler at the time of the attack, the act was seen as the hate crime of a laid-off American autoworker taking out his frustration about the Japanese automobile industry on an innocent person.[6]
Citing the judge's POW record as one of several reasons to invalidate the lenient sentence in favor of a more stringent punishment, advocacy groups unsuccessfully tried to vacate the original sentence. Kaufman cited the defendants' clean prior criminal records and that there was no minimum sentence for a manslaughter plea as he responded, "These weren't the kind of men you send to jail... You don't make the punishment fit the crime; you make the punishment fit the criminal." [5] Kaufman's sentence was upheld as valid and final, due to the Fifth Amendment protection against double jeopardy, and the advocacy groups shifted their efforts toward a Federal prosecution for the violation of Vincent Chin's civil rights. This would also prove ultimately unsuccessful after an appeal and retrial of Ebens' original 1984 Federal conviction resulted in acquittal,.[5]
Kaufman never showed remorse for the sentences he issued in the Vincent Chin case, stating that such sentencing was something that "happens regularly in Recorder's Court and here (circuit court.)"[7]
Other rulings[edit]
Judge Kaufman issued a number of notable decisions jailing other individuals for committing less heinous offenses.
Kaufman jailed an entire town board for failing to approve a sewer line in December 1978 (stating, when asked how long the town board would remain in jail, "Well, what is their life expectancy?")[8] and again in March 1979. Members were eventually released in 1979 after two members (one of whom was concerned about her medical condition) finally agreed to approve the sewer line.[9]
In November 1974, Judge Kaufman sentenced 11 teachers to jail after they refused to return to work. Kaufman sentenced the chief negotiator in a strike to 30 days in jail and 10 other teachers to 5 days in jail.[10]
Kaufman later retired from the Third Circuit Court, and died in 2004.[2]

The August 2001 LJ's At the Forge is about a feature of Enhydra. Enhydra is commercial software, based on Java, which is commercial software. As far as I can see, there is no mention of Linux or anything specific to Linux in the article. It would not be out of place in a magazine called Web Automation, but I fail to see why it belongs in a magazine devoted to Linux, and more generally, to free software.
—Carl Fink
Reuven replies: While Java isn't free software, many web developers want or need to use Java in their work. I cannot change the Java license, but I can encourage Java developers to use an open-source operating system (Linux) and an open-source application server (Enhydra). So far as I understand it, there are two different ways to get Enhydra. The first is to obtain the core Enhydra application server, which is freely downloadable and distributable. This includes XMLC, DODS, super servlets and all that other stuff. The license agreement for this is indeed open source, despite what you might read elsewhere on the Enhydra web site. Here are three URLs about the licensing scheme: www.enhydra.org/aboutEnhydra/index.html, enhydra.enhydra.org/software/license/rationale.htm and enhydra.enhydra.org/software/license/opl.html. The second way is to get the Lutris EAS (Enhydra Application Server), which is a commercially packaged and tested version of the open-source stuff. I believe that you pay $995 US (or so) per CPU for EAS, but you're paying for the support, not for the server itself, in a twist on the open-source model. You could also argue that my article about PostgreSQL wasn't specifically about Linux, but the fact is that there are many people interested in using that database on Linux. For better or worse, there are lots of Linux devotees who also want to be able to use Java. Indeed, as someone who does web development on Linux every day (and many nights) of the week, I'm happy to know that I can now talk to clients about a serious Java and EJB solution that goes above and beyond Jakarta-Tomcat.
I really enjoyed the article "Loadable Kernel Module Exploits" by William Benton in the September 2001 issue of Linux Journal. I know that such articles are not meant to be exhaustive, but there is one bug in the Checking and Logging Function Listing on page 26 that I consider to be critical. The code hooks into the sys_call_table by saving the current address of SYS_write and replacing it. It unhooks by putting back the saved address. The bug is if there is more than one such hook. If another module hooks the SYS_write entry after this module, then an rmmod is done on this module, and the other module will become unhooked.
An even worse scenario is possible: 1) Module A is insmod-ed and hooks SYS_write. SYS_write points to wrapped_write in module A, orgwrite points to the previous contents (assume it is the normal entry). 2) Now module B does the same. SYS_write points to, say, modified_write in module B, orgwrite points to wrapped_write in module A. 3) Module A is rmmod-ed. SYS_write now contains the original SYS_write value. But this means that modified_write in module B is now bypassed. 4) Now module B is rmmod-ed. The cleanup_module in module B will restore the SYS_write table entry to point somewhere where module A used to reside. 5) Linux will most likely crash.
Unfortunately, I am not really a kernel hacker, so I don't know how I could tell the rmmod function that I don't want to be removed. To be safe, you would need to rmmod in the reverse order that you insmod-ed. I don't know enough about Linux to say how this could be accomplished.
—John McKown
Benton replies: You are correct; the situation you describe can be a problem for production code if a system administrator is not careful. I had not assumed that it would be a serious issue in example code (or in production code with a vigilant system administrator), but it is good to identify possible pitfalls in kernel programming. One (simple) solution is to be careful what you load and unload and in what order. As the old joke goes: "Doctor, it hurts when I do this!" "Well, don't do that, then!". There are plenty of ways to crash your system poking around in the kernel, and it's best to avoid all of them once you've identified them. In all seriousness, these problems will exist as long as Linux does not provide a mechanism for registering changes to the system call table. I don't think they're horribly serious, since a degree of care on the part of the user can prevent a crash. However, there is a workaround that can give you some basic stability: in cleanup_module(), be sure to check whether the system call table entry that you're about to restore is what you think it should be. If not, issue a warning and invoke the sync() system call before modifying the system call table. That will minimize the damage in the event of a crash. As an alternative (and more difficult) solution, you could replace the create_module system call in the first module you load, wrapping it with one that provides some sort of versioning system for the system call table in a static stack or deque. I'll leave implementing that as an exercise for the reader.
