Sullivan Responds to Wieseltier's Israel Charges
As does everyone else with an Internet connection
Predictably, New Republic literary editor Leon Wieseltier's broadside against blogger Andrew Sullivan over Israel has prompted lots and lots (and lots) of responses, including from Sullivan himself. They all seem to agree with the following propositions: Wieseltier may not explicitly call Sullivan an anti-Semite, but that is the unavoidable implication of his argument (and, indeed, because of that Wieseltier should have said as much in order to be on the record about it); and, Andrew Sullivan is no anti-Semite. After that, they begin to disagree.
In a response to the responses, Wieseltier states, "I did not propose that he is an anti-Semite. I did propose that the scorn and the fury that characterizes his discussion of Israel and some of its Jewish supporters is wholly unwarranted." As it happens, two years ago, over a similar contretemps, Wieseltier explicitly asserted that Sullivan is not an anti-Semite. (I'm inclined to give Wieseltier the benefit of the doubt: as I said last time, if Wieseltier wanted to write, 'Andrew Sullivan is an anti-Semite,' he could have, and since everyone took it that way anyway, it is not clear what Wieseltier stood to gain from refraining; therefore, it stands to reason that he does not think he is one.)
In Sullivan's response, he adopts a more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger tone, bemoaning the loss of what was once a strong friendship (both parties admit that there are personal grounds for this conflict in addition to substantive ones) before denying Wieseltier's (implied) charge of anti-Semitism. He writes:
I'm sorry if Leon immediately saw my distinction between some neocons and many non-neocons as some kind of reference to ancient persecution. But what am I to do if I am trying to describe my support for J-Street over AIPAC on these matters, or for the younger generation of American-Jewish writers as opposed to their elders? Is this analysis something no non-Jew is allowed to even discuss, for fear of offending?
And while noting some caveats, Sullivan does roughly align himself with Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer, whose basic thesis is that a powerful Israel Lobby works, mostly successfully, to steer U.S. policies vis-à-vis Israel in (right-wing) directions inimical to the U.S. interest.
He concludes:
At his most generous, Wieseltier accuses me of moronic insensitivity. Well, I do not think Leon thinks I am a moron. Am I insensitive? At times, I'm sure I am. I'm a writer who doesn't much care for political correctness, of policing discourse for every single possible trope or code that someone somewhere will pounce on as evidence of bigotry. I've gone out of my way as an editor and writer to stir things up—on race and gender and culture and sex—and I have never been one to worry excessively about the sensitivity of others. I think I have offended and enraged far far more gay men and evangelicals than I ever have Jewish-Americans, for example. I'm a South Park devotee, for Pete's sake.
Beyond Sullivan's rejoinder, and Wieseltier's rejoinder to the rejoinder (oh, look: Sullivan has now responded even to that!), a ton of other pundits and bloggers weighed in. The Atlantic Wire has an excellent links gallery in case you want to read everything. Several that are especially worth your time follow:
• Jonathan Chait notes that Sullivan once was rabidly, uncomplicatedly pro-Israel, and argues: "On the Middle East, Andrew falls prey to a habitual tendency to see the world divided between children of darkness and children of light. … I don't think that Andrew's transformation from overwrought hawk to overwrought dove is driven by, or has brought about, a different view of Jews. It seems instead to be the shattering of a brittle worldview and its replacement by a new worldview, equally brittle."
• Matthew Yglesias sees the piece as symptomatic of larger problems at the magazine that published it: "Like most of TNR's very worst work, it suffers deeply from schizophrenia about the idea of flinging around baseless charges of anti-Semitism. On the one hand, the charges are baseless so the writer hesitates to fling them around. On the other hand, flinging baseless charges of anti-Semitism is the essence of the magazine's commentary on Israel."
• Tablet Magazine contributing editor Jeffrey Goldberg, while denying that his (Atlantic colleague) Sullivan is anti-Semitic, agrees with the sentiment of Wieseltier's article, and points out, "What is relevant is that [Sullivan] sometimes uses his blog to disseminate calumnies that can cause hatred of Jews, and of Israel." He also argues:
Sullivan doesn't know that much about the Middle East. … The politics, contradictions, and motivations of Netanyahu's approach to Obama do not interest Andrew. Netanyahu's apparently self-evident evilness is what interests Andrew. Extremists on both sides of the issue want the Middle East to be simple, but it's not. The Middle East is a tragedy precisely because the Israelis have an excellent case, and the Arabs also have an excellent case. This essential fact has often escaped Andrew's attention.
• Blake Hounshell, of Foreign Policy, finds both Sullivan and Wieseltier's writings "weird and sloppy," and makes this valuable point: "Sullivan's criticism of Israel ought to worry defenders of the Jewish state, then, because he is a bellwether for a broader shift in American media and society that has happened over the last few years."
That last comment seems impossible to refute. The question of whether Andrew Sullivan is anti-Semitic, or even wrong, is far less relevant than the question of how many in America are apt to agree with his analysis of the Mideast situation, which is decidedly uncharitable to the Israeli side. Debaters' points may win these little kerfuffles, but will they be enough to stem that "shift"?

Escondido teens explore the 'girlie' side of things
ESCONDIDO -- Linked arm and arm, clutching hands or grasping each others' fingers, several hundred teenage and pre-teen girls cautiously entered the California Center for the Arts Saturday as they ventured into a world without males and learned to bask in the accomplishments, possibilities and mysticism of all things girlie.
Jumping from booths that advertised volunteer opportunities and highlighted careers in law enforcement, science, sports and fashion, to conference rooms with speakers on everything from eating disorders and building self-confidence to global warming, the girls, their parents and friends educated themselves about life as a teen and the world that lies ahead.
"I think it's pretty cool," said 12-year-old Vista resident Kiby Lyda, who toured the first Girls World Explosion with two of her friends and fellow Girl Scout troop members. "All this stuff -- it's a good variety."
Holding a collection of fliers she had picked up at different booths -- one about an upcoming youth film festival in Carlsbad and another advertising a summer program at the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park -- Kiby said she would have a lot of information to share with her friends and family.
"There are so many different opportunities to do community service and in so many different ways," she said, noting that many of the more than 50 exhibitors present advertised ways to give back to the community. "It's overwhelming."
The all-day expo, organized by the North County Times at the prompting of a Carlsbad High School intern Marissa Ramirez, aimed at promoting the educational and cultural development of girls ages 10 to 18.
Proceeds from the event, cosponsored by Invitrogen, Cal State San Marcos, the California Center for the Arts and Girls, Inc., will go to the North County Times Charities Fund, a fund of the McCormick Tribune Foundation, to benefit children and families in need.
"I think (the expo) is absolutely wonderful for the girls, especially nowadays when they need support their parents and the community," Fallbrook mother and middle school teacher Karen Hernandez-Miller said, as she scanned the female-packed room.
Her own 11-year-old, Mellyn Miller, and friend's 11-year-old daughter, Alina Gonzalez, were nearby, absorbed in a hip-hop dance performed by an all-girl group from Culture Shock Dance Studio.
"It's celebrating 'girlhood,' " Hernandez-Miller said. "They are going to feel empowered."
Through a collection of seminars, live music performances, dance and soccer workshops and educational conversation, Hernandez-Miller said she could really see the expo making a difference in how the girls treated each other and felt about themselves.
Shy and quiet when they first entered, as the hours clicked by and the music and speakers invigorated them, many of the teen girls broke through shells of insecurity, relinquishing their grasps on mothers, sisters and friends, and began to stand alone.
"I feel better," 11-year-old Alana Sanchez said, explaining that when she first came in she was nervous about how to act and what the other girls might say.
Now, having just finished a dance workshop with several dozen of her peers, Alana said she was ready to go exploring more.

In a game dominated by the offenses, it was a defensive play that helped the Lafayette Christian School Cougars get a big win Friday night in an eight-man football game.
The offenses for Lafayette Christian and Heritage were running up and down the field, with neither defense doing much to stop the opponent.
That changed in a big way when Heritage got the ball trailing 32-26 in the second half.
That's when Ethan Pike stepped in and provided arguably the biggest play of the game.
Pike intercepted a pass and returned it about 75 yards for the touchdown, and the Cougars dominated the rest of the game to take a 46-26 victory.
It was a big win for the Cougars (2-1 overall) since the game was their region opener.
Lafayette Christian head coach Nick Nehring felt his team's conditioning was a difference in the second half.
"We've really been trying to condition hard, and it really paid off in the second half," Nehring said. "We were able to keep up a high level of play. We kind of wore them down in the second half, and I was glad to see that. They were a tough ball club. It was a grueling game."
It was a 20-20 game at the half.
Matt Brown had a rushing touchdown, and he also threw a scoring pass of 22 yards to Jeremy Fain.
Trailing 20-13, the Cougars finished the first half with a bang when Graham Oliver returned a kickoff for a touchdown, and the extra point deadlocked the score.
In the third quarter, after Heritage took a 26-20 lead, Oliver had another long kickoff return, setting up Trey Kirkland's 7-yard run, and it was tied at 26-26.
Kirkland then had another rushing touchdown to give the Cougars the lead, and Pike then came through with his huge defensive play, and suddenly it was a 38-26 game.
After an Eli Sheppared interception and a long return, Brown's touchdown run and the two-point conversion capped the scoring.
Lafayette Christian will travel to Albany on Friday to take on Byne Christian School.

Anyone could take you into the Event viewer and show you signs of errors, most of the time these are meaningless and certainly not cause for concern, most of the time you PC hiccuped and of course that is registered in the event viewer.
All these people want is you bank or credit card details and of course they sound knowledgeable but how difficult is that to most people who's expertise stops at the on button of a PC.
As I said have a bit of fun, play hard of hearing and mistake words ask really stupid questions particularly if they mention you might have a virus, ask them if you are going to die from this virus,is it catching, are your family at risk.

For persistent callers that keep phoning back. I hold the receiver up to my fire alarm and press the test button. I do give them fair warning that I am about to sound it after a count of 3-2-1. They never ring back after that.

Sir Michael Rocks - Make This Bread
Artist: Sir Michael Rocks
Producer: Reno
Album: Lap Of Lux 1.5
Avg Rating: 2.9 ( 9 votes )
On Make This Bread, an "official" leak from his next project, Lap Of Lux 1.5, Sir Michael Rocks offers up an ultimatum: "Make this bread or make your bed." Judging by his success in 2012, it seems as though The Cool Kids member has heeded his own advice. In addition to joining Mac Miller on a 45-city tour, the Chicago native spent fall of 2012 sharing a stage with Pac Div on the group's West Coast run. I am no accountant, thankfully, but I am sure that all of Rocks' hard work earned him more bread than a bakery. The emcee looks to continue his success on this spacey, Reno produced cut. As the beat sways, Sir Michael craftily attacks the track with his unique sound, highlighted by his incomparable vocal delivery and laissez-faire cadence. Lap Of Lux 1.5, a revamped release of Lap of Lux, is set for a Thursday, December 6 release.

I can. Not the miniskirts so much, since that at least passes for standard uniform (plus I got the distinct impression they're wearing shorts under those skirts, which seems like it would be more comfortable) but the Voyager/ENT catsuits are just stupid and never seem to belong anywhere. Seven of Nine looked just fine in a regular uniform, and T'pol had exactly zero reasons NOT to put on a regular Starfleet uniform when she resigned from the Vulcan service.
They essentially became noticeably less-useless versions of Deanna Troi, with the ironic distinction that Troi eventually remembered where her uniform had gone to and finally started wearing it. Seven and T'pol have no excuse.
I would have preferred them to re-use Ilia, personally
This is 2259. Isn't she, like, ten?
Ilia's age wasn't stated and if Ilia was the same age as Persis, she'd be about 19 I think. Decker was older than Chekov and Chekov is in this movie. Assuming that they are not born earlier or later, NuDecker and NuIlia would be just right to be working alongside this crew.

Elle Woods will be going back to Harvard Law School soon at the Hardin County Playhouse. But first, residents need to audition for the show.
Owning a cat has been quite the learning experience.
They are so different from dogs in many ways.
To a dog, you are the center of its universe. It is obvious a cat feels as if it is the center of all universes.
Another thing I've learned is cats are part ninja. They are so light on their feet you don't hear them coming.
Colleen Ames of Elizabethtown will play during the Campbellsville University Piano Ensemble's spring concert at 8 tonight in The Gheens Recital Hall on the Campbellsville University campus.

If you search around this site (and net) you'll probably find some of the answer. The original ideas for INS were far more interesting, but Stewart in particular wanted something lighter (unless I'm mis-remembering).
Berman and Piller actually conceived of it as a lighter film from the getgo, because they didn't believe they could (or should) "out-Borg the Borg" and Berman was particularly fond of the success of
The Voyage Home
, and believed its lighter tone was largely responsible for its success.

Security Bank nets P1.7B in 1H
popular .
MANILA, Philippines–Security Bank has reported a 66-percent decline in first semester net profit to P1.7 billion compared to the level in the same period last year when earnings were boosted by extraordinary trading gains.
But Security Bank president Alberto Villarosa said the bank was focused on growing its core business founded on solid balance sheet, noting that core revenues had risen by 6 percent year-on-year to P5.3 billion in the first semester.
"Our bottom-line in the first half of this year reflected the non-recurrence of a large non-core income from sale of investment securities that we had in the same period of last year, the margin squeeze, and our investing for the future to grow core recurring revenues and add new ones," Villarosa said in a press statement.
Net interest income was steady at P4 billion as net interest margin declined to 3.5 percent compared to 4 percent in the prior year period, reflecting the country's highly liquid financial system that in turn resulted in cutthroat competition among lenders. Volume growth, however, compensated for the margin squeeze.
Loans grew by 21 percent year-on-year to P133 billion as the bank supported power, utilities, infrastructure, wholesale and retail trade, food and agriculture, consumer goods and other key sectors of the economy.
Non-interest income declined to P1.3 billion compared to P4.2 billion a year ago, due to a lower securities trading gain of P279 million versus the P3.2 billion in prior year period. Unlike most of its peers which booked hefty trading gains this year, Security Bank locked up gains from investment securities last year, citing the need to fund its growing lending business.

It's Bath time in England
After the historic and spectacular London Olympics 2012, spaholics know that a side trip to the City of Bath is a rewarding experience, even just to marvel at the best-preserved spa from the ancient world—the Roman Bath in the City of Bath in Somerset, southwest of England.
From London, my friend and I decided to take a day tour to the famed Stonehenge and Windsor Castle before heading off to the quaint city of Bath, home to picturesque moors described in Emily Bronte's novels, and of course, the grand Roman Bath.
The Roman Baths complex is a historic site. Although it is no longer in use by bathers, its rich past is well-preserved, and one can have a glimpse of what life must have been by simply looking closely at the magnificent Roman architecture and walking the stone pavements where the ancient Romans walked.
There are four main features in the complex: the Sacred Spring, the Roman Temple, the Roman Bath House and the Museum. Visitors have a grand view of the terrace lined with statues of Roman governors of Britain, Roman emperors and military leaders.
The Sacred Spring was believed to be the work of the ancient gods. Dedicated to the goddess Sulis Minerva, the deity with healing powers, the Sacred Spring supplied the Bath House with mineral-rich water, which attracted visitors from across the Roman Empire.
Prayers and sacrifices
Like other Roman structures, the Roman Baths had its own temple, where worshippers gathered to pray to the goddess Minerva, and sacrifices were made at the great altar.
The tour's highlight was definitely the breathtaking sight of the Roman Bath House or the Great Bath. This magnificent centerpiece of the Baths has a pool lined with 45 sheets of lead and filled with steaming spa water. It is 1.6 meters deep, making it ideal for bathing. There are also niches surrounding the pool, which may have been used as benches for bathers.
Adjacent to the Great Bath is a series of smaller pools, heated rooms and changing rooms which were used for more than 400 years.
Although we didn't get to wear our swimsuits for this trip, or to get our feet wet, the experience of walking through the majestic Roman Baths was more than enough to fill our senses.
The ingenuity of the ancient Romans, with their belief in the healing power of thermal baths, has inspired spa owners and operators from around the world to give this ancient ritual an exciting and truly relaxing twist for today's spaholics.

Amazingly Maintained Home
My family stayed in this cabin over February vacation 2014. After staying in a different VRBO property this year, I feel strongly about sharing our great experiences with this home. This property was immaculate and well maintained. The kitchen was stocked with not only a good assortment of clean pots pans and dishes, there were also spices and oils provided. The bedrooms were neat and tidy with comfortable beds. The bathrooms were spotless and plush towels were provided. We appreciated the hdmi cable on the tv so we could all watch a movie together. The adults also appreciated the video game system that was downstairs and allowed us a bit of quiet. The outside of the home was just as wonderful as the inside. Sitting in a spotless hot tub in the snow overlooking the trees was an amazing experience. The kids loved playing outside in the large yard. Snowmen! The pictures attached accurately reflect this wonderful home! I hope to return soon.
Staying here over and over, year after year
We are staying at this property with a bunch of friends year over year for 4 years. This would be the fifth year, that we're going to rent this house again. I have to say, the house was working great for us so far. The management is top-notch. For example, during one of our stays we experienced a typical north-eastern snowstorm, with an enormous amount of snow covering just about every road in the area into a snowfield and collapsing some power lines. The management was still able to plow the road to the house and help us with starting emergency generators. Their effort made our stay even in that kind of weather quite enjoyable.

also, I see to recall about 2 years ago a very similar situation when HMRC had calculated all of Jade's taxes owed and that her boys were "only" going to be left with 500k. How have these recent developments come about then?
I wonder why her properties haven't been sold - her barn conversion that she left to Jackiey was put on the market I'm sure I remember.
There were all sorts of moneyspinners being mentioned when she died - remember Jade: The Musical? thank god that never came to pass - I said at that time that no producer would go near it as it would be a monumental flop.

Fort Hall –The Department of Public Safety, along with the Tribal Emergency Response Organization, have planned and prepared for an 8-hour scheduled power outage by Idaho Power on Wednesday from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. on Thursday.Â

SALT LAKE CITY — Saturday morning well over 20,000 stood in unison as the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Thomas S. Monson entered the church's conference center for 182nd Annual General Conference of the Church.
Visitors to the gathering in Salt Lake City are diverse coming from many nations and cultures. Steven Blaine from Edinburgh, Scotland traveled to the meeting without a ticket to the meetings. He hoped that someone would have an extra ticket to give him.
He said, "I want to hear and see the Prophet and our leaders."
The Blackfoot Broncos and the Snake River Panthers battled it out on the diamond on Friday afternoon. View photos from the first of the two games.
As he prepares to celebrate the 50th anniversary of what started as Vaughn's A&W, Kevin Rupe pondered on the key to success.
"Dad set a high standard that I still try to uphold," said Rupe, who has operated Rupe's Burgers since 1987.
"You have to like people and be friendly," said Kevin's mother, Carol, as she watched him visit with the customers. "They were both like that."
Vaughn Rupe worked for Challenge Dairy back in 1962 when the previous owner suggested that he buy the business.
"I didn't see how we could afford to do it," Carol recalled. "He was making good money where he was.
SHELLEY — Journey's End Golf Course in Shelley will open for the season Tuesday under a new owner — Neil Williams of Idaho Falls.
"When I tell people I've bought a golf course, they look at me funny," Williams said.
"You mean a miniature golf course?" they ask.
"No, I mean a real golf course," Williams replies. "I think this is an asset for the community and a great opportunity for my family."
Ione Hill, 42, of Gibson, passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, Wednesday, March 28, 2012 at the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls.
She was born Sept. 28, 1969 in Blackfoot to Stanford Hill and the late Ardith S. Hill. She attended school in Blackfoot, getting her GED and going on to Utah State University in Logan, Utah, with her sister by her side. She was a lifetime area resident.
THOMAS —Paige Williams out-spelled Alex VanOrden on the word "anti-pollution" and spelled "prejudice" for the win at Snake River Middle School's Spelling Bee on Thursday.
The students had the spelling words for about three weeks. Contests were held in each classroom until teachers had narrowed the field down to six students per classroom. The students then competed in a school-wide spell-off of 30 students.
Alysson Porter, who was unavailable for the photo, took third in the sixth grade bracket.
BLACKFOOT — A large contingent of James' Pendlebury's extended family gathered at the Idaho Potato Museum to see him honored on Wednesday.
Members of the museum board inducted Pendlebury into the Hall of Fame. Pendlebury was instrumental in bringing the Idaho Potato and Fruit Growers Association into being in 1913. That association was the first in Eastern Idaho to ship potatoes by rail to farflung markets in the West.
THOMAS — Behind a game winning single by Cole Rushton and a complete game pitching gem by Cash Cardona the Snake River Panthers completed the season sweep of the defending 2A state champion Malad Dragons on Thursday evening with a 2-1 victory.
"Great pitching match up," Snake River head coach James Carter said. "This is the second game the Cash has pitched for us and the second great effort from him. He threw the crap out of it today and threw a lot of strikes. He did a great job of pitching ahead of the hitters which makes them hit the pitch he wants them to hit."

Mannarino Sets Almagro Clash
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
by ATP Staff|
Adrian Mannarino set a second-round clash with third seed Nicolas Almagro at the Malaysian Open on Monday in Kuala Lumpur, defeating Daniel Brands 6-3, 6-4. The Frenchman saved the six break points he faced as he advanced in 78 minutes.
Mannarino has performed well on the big stage in 2013. The 25 year old reached his first Grand Slam fourth round at Wimbledon, losing to Lukasz Kubot in five sets, and knocked out Sam Querrey to reach the US Open third round (l. to Federer). He will look to reach his second ATP World Tour quarter-final of the season when he faces Almagro.
"It's my first time in Asia, so with the jet lag and everything it wasn't easy for me to play on Monday, but I think I played pretty well today," said Mannarino. "I was really solid. I served well in the big moments. It will be very tough [against Almagro]. I played him once already and he beat me. I'm expecting it to be very hard and I'm just going to try my best."
Argentine Federico Delbonis also advanced, defeating wild card Hyeon Chung 6-4, 6-2 in 73 minutes. Delbonis claimed his 11th tour-level win of the season, highlighted by beating Roger Federer to reach the final of the bet-at-home Open - German Tennis Championships in Hamburg (l. to Fognini).
In the final round of qualifying, Somdev Devvarman, Mischa Zverev, Rajeev Ram and Matteo Viola all earned main draw spots.

Eight houses are under construction for this year's Parade of Homes in the town of Manlius.
The annual event is a presentation of some of the region's best builders, allowing the public to walk through fully decorated and landscaped showcase houses to gather ideas for their own home.
The homes are being built as a subdivision of Mallard's Landing, called The Villas, and access to the event will be off South Eagle Village Road.
The general public is welcome to tour the site during set hours from Saturday Sept. 11 until Sunday Sept. 26.
This will be the fourth time the Parade of Homes has come to the town of Manlius since its start in 1992. In 1993, it was at Garden Park in the village Fayetteville; in 2003, it was in Fayetteville again at Briarbrook and then in Minoa at Minoa Farms in 2005.
Town Day, set for Tuesday Sept. 21, will celebrate the town of Manlius. Officials will set up booths, give away hand-outs and answer questions. Supervisor Ed Theobald said the town is also reaching out to Fayetteville-Manlius High School; it is hoped the school will provide musical entertainment. Details will be forthcoming.
Participating custom-home builders include Stringer Homes, Eldan Homes, Harrington Homes, Zellar Homes, Signature Crest Builders, Sciuga Custom Builders, JMG Custom Homes and Konrad Builders.
The average price of the homes is just over $400,000.

Latest Nectar Stories
A small tree or shrub found in mountainous Central and South American rainforests has a most unusual relationship with the birds that pollinate its flowers, according to a study reported in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on July 3.
Evolution is based on diversity, and sexual reproduction is key to creating a diverse population that secures competitiveness in nature. Plants as largely immobile organisms had to solve a problem
In-demand research report "Global Juice Report 2013" worked out by Canadean has been recently published by Market Publishers Ltd.
What do busy janitors and nectar feeding bats have in common? They both want to wipe up as much liquid as they can, as fast as they can. And it turns out, they both have specialized equipment for the job.
Ants foraging on nectar transmit yeasts that change sugar-chemistry and may affect subsequent pollinator visitations and plant fitness
Across the US beekeepers and researchers have been reporting that a powerful new class of pesticides may be killing off bumblebees. A new study pinpoints another potential cause: toxic metal pollution in flowers.
SunTropics will attend the 15th Annual Shamrock 5K Fun Run and Walk in Dublin, California on Sunday, March 17, 2013 and will be on hand at the finish line with samples of their all natural fruit
A new study has shown that the bees are able to use an electrical charge emitted by flowers to interact with the nectar-bearing plants and pick up pollen.
How flowers have evolved particular colors, shapes and scents to attract pollinators has long fascinated ecologists.
Butterflies learn faster when a flower is rewarding than when it is not, and females have the edge over males when it comes to speed of learning with rewards.

Monitoring Tableau Server with readonly userPosted by Andrei Pandre under Tableau
Leave a Comment
Tableau Server works as a team of multiple processes, processors, programs and applications, like data engine, data server, VizQL Server, bacgrounder, application server etc.: http://onlinehelp.tableausoftware.com/v8.3/server/en-us/processes.htm
Each of those processes generates LOG files with data about user activities, data connections, queries and extractions, errors, views repaintings and interactions, etc.: http://onlinehelp.tableausoftware.com/v8.3/server/en-us/logs_loc.htm
Those data parsed regularly and stored into PostgreSQL-based Tableau Server Administrative Database, called "Workgroup" and also known as Tableau Server Repository.
PostgreSQL Server containing Workgroup DB usually runs on the same Windows Server as Main Tableau Server or (if Tableau Server runs on multimode cluster with Worker Tableau Server(s)) on other Windows Server, which runs Worker Tableau Server and uses non-standard TCP/IP port 8060.
During installation Tableau Server will create the almost empty Workgroup Repository with the main DB Schema called "public", 100+ tables, 900+ columns (about 100 of them used as Keys), 300+ Joins, 16+ Views and 4 pre-approved users ( 2 internal (repository and rails), 1 SuperAdmin ( tblwgadmin ) and 1 default user ( tableau, which has read-only access to 16 views (click on image to enlarge):
and nothing else). Similar Schema (with linkage between Keys for Tableau 7.0 Repository) is here (Originally published by great Russell Christopher) :
None of these pre-approved Workgroup users available outside of Tableau Server environment (unless designated static IP address(es) will be added (this may violate your Tableau License) to pg_hba.conf PostgreSQL configuration file, except "tableau" user (and new default "readonly" user) who can be given a privilege to connect to Workgroup Repository remotely as described here:
In November 2014 Tableau Software introduced (Release 8.2.5) a new, 2nd default user, named "readonly" with read access to all Tables and Views of Workgroup Repository: http://www.tableausoftware.com/support/releases/8.2.5
New "readonly" user enables us (if/when migration to Tableau 8.2.5+ or 8.3 happened) to create custom Operational Dashboards and monitor the usage and state of Tableau Server in Enterprise environment. TABADMIN utility's command DBPASS now has new parameter "—username" which can enable remote access for "readonly default user:
tabadmin dbpass –username readonly p@ssword
Tableau Software also introduced and published the Data Dictionary and Documentation for entire Repository, its DB Schema, Tables, Views and other details here:
and here:
Please find below the list of all tables, columns, their data types:

16 months after IPO: tcc14Posted by Andrei Pandre under Tableau
[2] Comments
Tableau's IPO on May 17 2013 instantly created the most valuable (in terms of Market Capitalization) Data Visualization Vendor. Since then Tableau kept having the best in "BI industry" YoY growth and its sales skyrocketing, almost reaching the level of QLIK sales. During summer of 2014 DATA (stock symbol for Tableau) shares were relatively low and as one visitor to my blog cynically put it, TCC14 (Tableau Customer Conference for 2014) can be easily justified, since it raised DATA Stock and added (indirectly) to Market Cap of Tableau more than $1B to the level of more than $5B. Below is entire history of DATA prices (click on image to enlarge):

During summer of 2014 DATA (stock symbol for Tableau) shares were relatively low and as one visitor to my blog cynically put it, TCC14 (Tableau Customer Conference for 2014) can be easily justified, since it raised DATA Stock and added (indirectly) to Market Cap of Tableau more than $1B to the level of more than $5B. Below is entire history of DATA prices (click on image to enlarge):
For me the more indicative then the stock prices, market capitalization and a number of participants in customer conferences are numbers of job openings for competing vendors and Tableau has 270+ of them (more than 20% of its current number of employees), QLIK has 120+ (about 7% of its number of employees) and TIBCO has only about 2 dozens of openings related to Spotfire (unless I misread some other openings). For the quarter finished June 30, 2014, the company posted a year-over-year revenue increase of 82% with just over $90 million in revenue. Headcount was up 62% year-over-year to 1,532 employees worldwide.
As a background for Tableau growing sales (and tremendous YoY) you can see slow growth of QLIK sales (QLIK also delayed for almost 3 years the release of new product: we will not see Qlikvew 12, we still waiting for release of QLIK.NEXT and only recent release is Qlik Sense, which does not make too much sense to me) and almost no changes in Spotfire sales. I am guessing that Tableau is taking all those sales away from competition…
Keynotes and sessions of TCC14 were packed (you cannot find available seats on images below) and full of interesting info and even entertainment for new users and customers.
These 2 fresh multimillionaires (see below, not sure why Christian's face looks unhappy – I guess it is just me) opened TCC14 as usual, with exciting keynote.
You can find their keynote either on TCC14 website (link below) or on Youtube (below TCC14 link). Keynote contains 3+ parts: two speeches from co-founders (this year Christian choose theme of "Data Art" – I am not sure if it help sales, but nevertheless entertaining and very speculative topic) and the rest of keynote about new features in upcoming release of Tableau (8.3 and 9.0?).
As you see from slide below, Tableau is positioning new features in 7 groups, and I will try to mention those.
Let's start with most interesting to me: potential performance gain 2x or even 4x, mostly because better usage of multithreading and 64-bit code and I quote here: "Vice President of Product Development Andrew Beers takes his turn next, speaking about Performance. He shows breakthroughs in the Viz Engine, flying through a visualized painting, seamlessly panning, zooming, and selecting. Switching into data more likely to be representative, he shows a live connection to a database of 173 million taxi rides in New York City, and dives in showing results easily four times faster than the same calculations run on the same machine running Tableau 8.2, leveraging a change in the Data Engine to use multiple CPU cores in parallel. Database queries will likewise be parallelized, with cited examples reducing 15 second queries to three, and more complex ones reduced from nearly a minute to as little as seven seconds."
Among other features, Chris introduced "Lasso & Radial Selections": these selections allow interactors to select points in shapes other than just a square. In Stolte's keynote, he used a map as an example. He only wanted to lasso points in a city from the northwest to the southeast, not selecting some along the way. The shape ended up being like a figure eight. This was impressive.
Vice-President of Product Marketing Ellie Fields talked about new developments forthcoming in Cloud computing with Tableau, featuring Tableau Online as a platform for connecting Cloud data warehouses and applications in conjunction with on-premise data which can be presented in web browsers, on mobile devices, or even encapsulated in embedded applications.
Of course the star of TCC14 was Prof. Hans Rosling – as keynoter as well as part of the excited crowd.
Hans stars even in cafeteria (could not resist to include his picture seating at table with right hand raised).
Another memorable event was "ZEN Masters of 2014" –
this is a living prove of huge and very capable Tableau community
Tableau provided during TCC14 a lot of classes and training sessions – almost all of them were well prepared and packed. Expect many of them to be available online – many for free.
I included below two video interviews, showing insider's take on Tableau as Sales Organization
and also Tableau's approach to Product management with these priorities (I am curious if they always followed in real life): Quality – Schedule – Features.

Fun with Polygons, Path and RadarsPosted by Andrei Pandre under DV Posts, Tableau
Leave a Comment
While on Cape Cod this summer and when away from beach, I enjoyed some work-unrelated fun with Tableau. My beach reading included this article: http://www.theinformationlab.co.uk/2014/03/27/radar-charts-tableau-part-3/ by Andrew Ball and I decided to create my own Radar. When I show it to coworkers later, they suggested to me to publish it (at least the fun with Polygons, Path and Radars) on my blog. I may reuse this Radar chart for our internal Web Analytics.
Natural Order of Points and Segments in Line.
Many visualization tools will draw the line chart, its datapoints and connecting line segments between datapoints in natural progressing order – repainting them from left to right (horizontal ordering by Axis X) or from bottom to upside
(vertical ordering by Axis Y) or vice versa.
Path as the method to break the Natural Order.
Some demanding visualizations and users wish to break the natural repainting and drawing order and Tableau allows to do that by using the Path as the method to order the datapoints and line segments in Lines and Polygons. A Collection of increasing Ordering Numbers (Pathpoints) for each Datapoint in Line defined a Path for drawing and connecting datapoints and segments of that Line (or Polygon). Each Pathpoint can be predefined or calculated, depends on mplementation and business logic.
Changing the Natural Order can create "artificial" and unusual situations, when two or more datapoints occupying the same pixels on drawing surface but have very different Pathpoints (example can be a Polygon, when Line ends in the same point it starts) or when two or more Line Segments intersecting in the same Pixel on screen (example can be the Center of the letter X ).
Radar Chart has 2 parts: Radar Grid (background) and Radar Polygons (showing repetitive Data Patterns, if linear timeline can be collapsed into circular "timeline"). Radar Grid has Radials (with common Center) and Concentric Rings.
Polygons optionally can be filled with (transparent) color. For future Discussion let's use the RMax as the maximal possible distance between the Center of Radar Grid (in case of Radar Grid) or the Center of Radar Polygon (in case of Radar
Polygon) and the most remote Datapoint shown in Radar Grid or Polygon respectively. We will use the "normalized" statistics of Visits to typical Website to visualize the hourly and daily (by day of the week) patterns of Web Visitations. By
normalization we mean the removal of insignificant deviations from "normal" hourly and daily amounts of Web Visits. For complete obfuscation we will assume for Demo purposes that RMax = 144.
Radar Radial Grid.
Radial Grid contains a few Radiuses (equidistant from each other) and we will draw each Radius as 3-point line where Starting and Ending points of each line are identical to each other and collocated with the Center of Radar. For Demo Web Visitation Radar we will use Radial Grid with 8 Radiuses, corresponding to the following hours of the complete 24-hours day: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21:
For example see the Radius, corresponding to HOUR = 3 (below in light brown, other Radiuses greyed out on that image):
And for that Radius we are using (redundantly) the following 3 datapoints:
Concentric Rings for Radar Grid.
For Demo Radar we will use 4 Concentric Rings, corresponding to 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% levels of maximum visitation per hour:
Each ring is a line with 25 datapoints, where Starting and Ending Points collocated/equal. For example, dataset for external Ring (red line above) looks like this:
When Radials and Concentric Rings collocated and overlaid they represent the Radar Grid, ready to be a background for Radar Chart:
Radar Polygons.
For Demo purposes we use only 2 Polygons – one (largest) representing average Hourly Visits during Weekday and 2nd Polygon representing average Hourly Visits during Weekend day. For Websites which I observed the minimum number of visits happened around 1 AM, so you will see both Polygons are slightly rotated clockwise and slightly shifted up from the Center of Radar Grid to reflect the fact that the minimum number of visitors (even around 1 AM) is slightly more then 0. Each Radar Polygon (in our Demo) has 25 Data Points with Starting and Ending Points collocated at 1AM. Here is a Weekday Polygon, overlaid with Radar Grid:
Here are the data for Weekday Polygon:
Here is a Polygon for Weekend day, overlaid with Radar Grid:
Radar Chart.
When Radar Grid and Radar Polygons overlaid (Polygons transparent but on top of
Grid) we will get the Radar Chart. Please note that Centers of Radar Grid and Radar
Polygons can have different locations:
I published Tableau workbook with this Demo Radar Chart and Radar Data here:

Tableau Pricing (Estimate)Posted by Andrei Pandre under Popular, Tableau
Leave a Comment
Visitors to this blog keep asking me to estimate Tableau Software prices (including for Tableau Online), even Tableau published all non-server prices on its website here: https://tableau.secure.force.com/webstore However this does not include discounts, especially for enterprise volume of buying no pricing for servers of any kind (at least 2 kinds of server licenses exist) and no pricing for consulting and training.
Thanks to website of Tableau Partner "Triad Technology Partners" we have a good estimate of all Tableau prices (they are always subject of negotiations) in form of so called GSA Schedule (General Services Administration, Federal Acquisition Service, Special Items: No. 132-33 Perpetual Software Licenses, No. 132-34 Maintenance of Software as a Service, No. 132-50 Training Courses) for Tableau Software Products and Services, see it here:
http://www.triadtechpartners.com/vendors/tableau-software/ here (for example it includes prices for IBM Cognos and others):
http://www.triadtechpartners.com/contracts/ and specific Tableau Prices here:
I grouped Tableau's Prices (please keep in mind that TRIAD published GSA schedule in April 2013, so it is 1 year old prices, but they are good enough for estimating purposes) in 5 groups below: Desktop, Server with licensing for Named Users (makes sense if you have less then hundred "registered" users), Core Licenses for Tableau Server (recommended when you have more then 150 "registered" users), Consulting and Training Prices:
Google sheet for spreadsheet above is here:
and image of it – for those who has misbehaved browsers is below:
Again, please keep in mind that above just an estimate for prices (except for Tableau Online), based on 2013 GSA Schedule, and a good negotiator can always get a good discount (I got it each time I tried). You may also wish to review more general article from Boris Evelson here:
Note about choice between Core License and Server License with Named Users: I know organizations who choose to keep Named Users Licensing instead of switching to Core License even with more then 300 registered users, because it allows them to use much more capable hardware (with much more CPU Cores).

Visual Monitoring of multiple objects over timePosted by Andrei Pandre under Analytics, Monitoring, Popular
Leave a Comment
Observing and comparing multiple (similar) multidimensional objects over time and visually discovering multiple interconnected trends is the ultimate Data Visualization task, regardless of specific research area – it can be chemistry, biology, economy, sociology, publicly traded companies or even so called "Data Science".
For purposes of this article I like the dataset, published by World Bank: 1000+ Measures (they called it World Development Indicators) of 250+ countries for over 50+ years – theoretically more then 10 millions of DataPoints:
Of course some DataPoints are missing so I restricted myself to 20 countries, 20 years and 25 measures (more reasonable Dataset with about 10000 DataPoints), so I got 500 Time Series for 20 Objects (Countries) and tried to imitate of how Analysts and Scientists will use Visualizations to "discover" Trends and other Data Patterns in such situation and extrapolate, if possible, this approach to more massive Datasets in practical projects. My visualization of this Dataset can be found here:
In addition to Trends Line Chart (please choose Indicator in Filter at bottom of the Chart, I added (in my Tableau Visualization above) the Motion Chart for any chosen Indicator(s) and the Motion Map Chart for GDP Indicator. Similar Visualization for this Dataset done by Google here: http://goo.gl/g2z1b6 .
As you can see below with samples of just 6 indicators (out of 1000+ published by World Bank), behavior of monitored objects (countries) are vastly different.
GDP trends: clear Leader is USA, with China is the fastest growing among economic leaders and Japan almost stagnant for last 20 years (please note that I use "GDP Colors of each country" for all other 1000+ indicators and Line Charts):
Life Expectancy: Switzerland and Japan provide longest life to its citizens while India and Russian citizens are expected to live less then 70 years. Australia probably improving life expectancy faster than other 20 countries in this subset.
Health Expenditures Per Capita: Group of 4: Switzerland, Norway (fastest growing?), Luxemburg and USA health expenses about $9000 per person per year while India, Indonesia and China spent less then $500:
Consumer Price Index: Prices in Russia, India and Turkey growing faster then elsewhere, while prices in Japan and Switzerland almost unchanged in last 20 years:
Mobile Phones Per 100 Persons: Russia has 182 mobile phones per 100 people(fastest growing in last 10 years) while India has less then 70 cellular phones per 100 people.
Military Expenses as Percentage of Budget (a lot of missing data when it comes to military expenses!): USA, India and Russia spending more then others – guess why is that:
You can find many examples of Visual Monitoring of multiple objects overtime. One of samples is https://www.tradingview.com/ where over 7000 objects (publicly traded companies) monitored while observing hundreds of indicators (like share prices, Market Capitalization, EBITDA, Income, Debt, Assets etc.). Example (I did for previous blog post): https://www.tradingview.com/e/xRWRQS5A/

Phyllis A. Holloway, 73, a resident of Fort Wayne and formerly of Blue Lake near Churubusco, passed away at her home and was found on Friday afternoon, Oct. 21, 2011.
She had been in declining health for some time, but her death was unexpected.
Mrs. Holloway was born in Fort Wayne Nov. 4, 1937, a daughter of Robert and Hazel (Lopshire) Claymiller, and spent her formative years there.
On July 10, 1964, she was married in Fort Wayne to John E. Holloway.
The couple lived there for a period, and had lived at Blue Lake near Churubusco for 10 years, returning to Fort Wayne in 1986.
Frederick D. Schrader, 90, of Columbia City, passed away at 7 a.m. Friday, Oct. 21, 2011, at Parkview Whitley Hospital, Columbia City.
Born on July 9, 1921 in Columbia City he was the son of Raymond Earl and Francis Marie (Nei) Schrader.
He served in the US Army Air Force during World War II. He was married to Mary C. Combs on Sept. 5, 1964, by Pastor Marion Shroyer in Columbia City.
He was a farmer and was a foreman and planner for General Electric, Fort Wayne.
His memberships included the American Legion Post #98 and Eagles Lodge #1906 both of Columbia City.
COLUMBIA CITY — Ran-dall Carpenter, MD, made local history at Parkview Whitley Hospital by delivering the last baby born at the old hospital Oct. 17, and the first baby born in the new hospital four days later on Oct. 21, just a day after the hospital officially opened.
Parkview Whitley Hospital's first baby to be born in the new facility is Alexander Dean Crampton, born to Barbara Gideon and Christian Crampton, of Columbia City.
Alexander, who was born at 11:14 a.m. on Friday, weighed 6 pounds, 8 ounces at birth, and was 19 inches long.
CARROLL — Columbia City girls' volleyball team headed to Carroll High School Saturday to face East Noble in the second round of sectional play. The Lady Eagles were handed an unfortunate, season-ending lost to the Lady Knights, 3-1.
Columbia City was trailing East Noble in much of the first game until it took the momentum and an 18-15 lead.
Samara Qureshi took the serve and didn't relinquish it until Columbia City had scored five-straight points to make it 20-18.
FORT WAYNE — Whitko's boys cross country team seemed a little out of place at the awards ceremony Saturday at New Haven's semi-state meet.
Barefooted and surrounded by big-town schools like Mishawaka, Marion, South Bend St. Joseph, Carroll, Warsaw and Snider, the Wildcats took the podium for their first ever sixth-place finish, good enough for a trip to the state meet.
Taking the trip to Terre Haute with them will be Columbia City's Samantha Roush, who placed second individually.
PIERCETON — Six third-grade students from South Whitley Elementary School (SWES) who participated in the school's swim program at the Whitley County Family YMCA, proudly led the Pledge of Allegiance at the Whitko Community School Corporation (WCSC) board of directors meeting this week.

On July 23, 2014, we presented our 12th annual show, Closed: NYC Shuts Its Doors To Artists, at Theatre 80 on St. Marks Place. Poets showcased new works about how New York City is no longer a haven for poets, musicians, visual artists, and performing artists. Skyrocketing rents, the closing of beloved spaces, and the changing culture of the city are pushing artists out of New York. Poets included Tara Bracco, Andy Emeritz, Vaimoana Niumeitolu, Scottt Raven, Shetal Shah, Pamela Sneed, and Justin Woo. For 12 years, Poetic People Power has creatively explored social and political topics.
Poetic People Power is an ongoing project that combines poetry and social change. We present informative and engaging poetry shows about important issues that affect our everyday lives. In addition to our annual shows, we also bring our work to schools, festivals, and perform at non-profit fundraisers.

PRLog - June 23, 2010 - TORONTO -- Toronto with an ongoing $1.2 Billion Dollar Operating and Infrastructure Annual Deficit Result of Failed Policies by Incumbent Councillors over 20 Years yet gave themselves a 12% raise plus a Golden Severance Package worth $113,519 per councillor.
Peter CLARKE Committed, Proud and Independent
The city accounts for 40% of Ontario's GDP yet has a fiscal crisis caused by chronic spending increases of 4 times over 6 years to $8.7 Billion Dollars while incumbent councillors gave themselves a 12% salary raise over the next four years.
In addition these same incumbent councillors, a majority of whom have been in office for over 15 years, voted to give themselves a Golden Severance Package of twice that established for Ontario workers when they are defeated at the polls by voters.
Peter CLARKE has proposed that COUNCILLORS 12 MONTH GOLDEN SEVERANCE PACKAGE be RESCINDED as of October 25, 2010 once he is elected.
PETER estimates this would save the taxpayers $4,999,236 MILLION dollars or $113,519 per councillor upon their defeat at the polls.
In addition to this cost savings measure Peter CLARKE has proposed TEN PLUS basic strategies in his campaign mission platform to date.
One other such proposal by Peter CLARKE is that councillors SALARY and EXPENSES be REDUCED by 25% effective October 25, 2010 and thereafter salaries would be limited to the annual rate of inflation.
This salary cut would immediately save the taxpayers over $6 MILLION DOLLARS per year and over $27 MILLION DOLLARS over the 4 year term of office.
Another controversial issue supported by CLARKE, as proposed by Rob Ford one of Toronto's mayoralty candidates, is that citizens' of Toronto could be better off with a 22 MEMBER COUNCIL .
Peter CLARKE estimates this reduction from 44 councillors to 22 would immediately save the taxpayers over $61 MILLION dollars per year or $245,764,438 MILLION DOLLARS for the taxpayers over the current 4 year term of office.
Peter CLARKE strongly believes that the voters of Toronto's North York ward 23 along with all voters throughout Toronto are demanding for and Accountability, Transparency and Openness with New council members.
"Toronto One City, Your Vote, Our Future Together, Begins on October 25, 2010 with your support throughout the North York Community."
# # #
CLARKE an INDEPENDENT NOT a CAREER Politician or supporter of any political party, special interest group or lobbyists. PETER is your average citizen candidate and answerable only to the people NOT a political party, special interest group or lobbyist
