Mt. McKinley: Walter & Team Remain at 14,200' Camp Waiting for Better Weather

Once again we find ourselves resting at the 14,200' camp on Denali's West Buttress. This is our second rest/acclimatization day at this camp, and we are feeling stronger each day. The weather is quite pleasant here in camp, with partly sunny skies and barely a breath of wind. The story is a bit different up higher on the mountain, where strong winds are streaming snow off of the West Buttress. Winds are forecast to increase and there is a high wind advisory for tomorrow and tomorrow night. That means we're planning to stay put in our comfortable and secure camp for the next couple of days while we wait for more reasonable weather in which to climb. We'll keep you updated…

Mt. McKinley: Van Deventer & Team Take A Weather Day at 11,200'

Mt. McKinley made it abundantly clear today that we were welcome to stay in the tents, but were not welcome to move higher. Big snow plumes above us and swirling clouds, snow, and wind in camp made the decision to rest for the day easy. We passed the time with a long brunch, some tent time, and another long dinner session hanging out in the posh. This evening our visibility improved, the sun shone through, and the winds diminished, so we're hopeful that we'll take a take two tomorrow and head up to 14,000'. Keep your finger crossed for us.

The team has made it to Camp 1 in almost perfect style. I am on my seventh Denali climb as a guide and have never gone from Base Camp to Camp 1 with such seamlessness. No one had a single sled issue or cursed my name for giving them so much gear. No one got a blister or fell behind a single second. Like I said earlier, I am very pleased with this team. One day down, who knows how many more to go.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's report.

Hello from 14k on Denali!
We took a planned rest day today, which was a good thing because the weather was a bit inhospitable this morning in camp. Winds were swirling and blowing snow around, with very little visibility. We took advantage of the situation and had a three hour brunch in the comfort and relative luxury of our cook tent. The weather improved a bit in the afternoon, and we did some work around camp fortifying our snow walls. By this evening, the skies were nearly clear and the wind was light at camp. Strong winds were still obvious up higher on the route. The weather forecast for the next few days is still calling for high winds? So our plan is to sit tight and wait for a better weather window in which to climb higher. In the mean time, we're resting, acclimating, and telling lies in the cook tent. We'll keep you posted as we continue to watch the weather.

Alaska Seminar: Dave & Team Train at 9,800'

Here we are at 9,800' for a second night. This morning the winds continued to whip at the surrounding ridges and moving camp up the Kahiltna Dome was not prudent. However we were able to go for a venture towards Kahiltna Pass to see what there was to see. Good times trying to get over the bergschrund which was a trap door of deep faceted snow. Towards the top of the ridge we met firm icy conditions that forced us back down. Good times nevertheless! If the weather improves tomorrow we will make an attempt on the Dome.
Good night!

What is International Law?
International law is typically divided into 2 parts: public & private. Public international law governs relationships between national governments, relationships between inter-governmental organizations (IGOs), & relationships between national governments & IGOs. Private international law governs the choice of law to apply when there are conflicts in the municipal (i.e., national or domestic) law of different nations related to private transactions between persons/businesses in those nations. International law may consist of treaties, court decisions, & customary law. Unlike foreign law, for which it is sometimes mistaken, international law regulates or binds national governments & IGOs across national boundaries.
International NGO in Action
Karen Tse, lawyer & founder of the Swiss-based non-governmental organization (NGO) International Bridges to Justices, gave a brief talk in 2011 about ways to end the all-too-common practice of investigative torture in Asia & Africa. Watch below:

One lane of westbound State Route 18 is back open after a logging truck that lost its load was pushed to the side of the road.
The ramp from State Route 181 to westbound SR18 is open, but the ramp from southbound State Route 167 to westbound SR 18 is still blocked
A logging truck lost its load on SR 18 in Auburn and blocked westbound lanes earlier Wednesday morning.
It happened around 10 a.m. just past the SR 167 interchange. Westbound SR18 to SR 167, SR 167 to westbound SR18 and SR 181 to westbound SR18 were all closed during the cleanup.
There were no immediate reports of injuries.
It added to a brutal morning of traffic in the Puget Sound area. A FedEx semi-truck crashed and caught fire on I-5 in Seattle. Several other collisions and drivers choosing alternate routes led to gridlock across the region.

OSHAWA -- Facing funding pressures and a persistent problem of long-term care patients taking up hospital beds, officials at Lakeridge Health are issuing pink slips to 40 registered nurses.
While the 40 registered nurses will receive layoff notices, the net reduction in positions is 31 full-time jobs and three part-time positions as there are some new RN positions being created. Officials are quick to point out there are currently 60 open RN positions at Lakeridge Health but due to the rules in the nurses' contract, they can't simply move a nurse from one job to another.
"It doesn't mean someone walks out of the building," said Lakeridge Health CEO Kevin Empey of the layoff notices, adding that he's hoping most of the nurses will move to another position within the hospital.
The decision was made as part of the budget process earlier this year. There are a couple of issues at play. While there have been funding announcements at the Provincial level for specific programs such as increased funding to manage cancer care loads, overall operating funding for hospitals has remained frozen for the past three years while salaries negotiated under collected agreements rise. Salaries account for about 70 per cent of hospital costs.
Another issue is the number of patients waiting in hospitals for long-term care beds in nursing homes. Mr. Empey said there are currently about 120 patients at Lakeridge Health waiting for long-term care spots.
No longer willing to wait for the Province to come through with additional dollars for hospitals or Durham long-term care spots, Lakeridge is opening a new unit for those patients that will be staffed mainly with registered practical nurses and as a result some of the RN positions will be replaced by RPNs.
"We've finally given up and said we have to do something ourselves. We have to reduce our costs, we don't need an RN sitting with a lot of these patients who don't need acute care anymore, they need to be in a long-term care home," said Mr. Empey, adding that patients with acute needs are often left waiting in the emergency room for beds because beds are being used by long-term care patients. He said it's about making sure the right staff member is dealing with the right patient.
An RPN at the top of the pay grid earns about $29 per hour, compared to $44 per hour for RNs. RN education programs are longer than RPN programs and RNs require bachelor degrees. As the complexity of a patient's needs increases, an RPN is required to consult more with RNs.
The changes mean the creation of five full-time and 12 part-time RPN positions. Nine full-time and one part-time management and non-union positions are also being eliminated. Overall the staffing complement at Lakeridge is about 4,000 people and the net layoffs mean the elimination of 28 full-time equivalent positions.
But Mr. Empey warned that there are only so many efficiencies hospitals can find internally and when those run out, Lakeridge will have to look at closing beds and reducing patient care volumes.
Vicki McKenna, provincial vice-president of the Ontario Nurses Association, said the specific impact of the changes is still under discussion. ONA is the union representing registered nurses.
"The plans, as they understand them now, will do nothing but increase the workload and we're very concerned about the quality of care the nurses who are left behind will be able to provide," she said.
When it comes to creating a unit for long-term care patients, Ms. McKenna said other organizations making similar changes consulted with nurses.
"In my opinion, I would have thought there could have been more discussion and dialogue about what was being planned, what was the best thing for the patients and how they're going to do it," she said.
Dr. Doris Grinspun is the CEO of the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario, the professional association representing registered nurses in Ontario.
She said she has concerns with replacing RNs with RPNs, pointing to a recently released European study published in the Lancet. The study found that in hospitals with heavier nurse workloads and fewer nurses with bachelor's degrees, patients were more likely to die after common surgical procedures.
The study found that every extra patient added to a nurse's average workload increased death rates by seven per cent within 30 days of admission to a hospital. It also found that a 10-per cent increase in the proportion of nurses holding a bachelor's degree had a seven-per cent decrease in the risk of death.
Ms. Grinspun also said that the government has been clear that they want the long-term care patients out of hospitals and in nursing homes.
"What are you going to do next year when you're not going to have those patients and you don't have the funding to rehire RNs?" she asked.

Revenue Accountants in the United States pull down an average of $55K annually. Including potential for bonuses and profit sharing — peaking near $10K and $20K, respectively — total cash payment to Revenue Accountants can bottom out near $39K or peak near $81K depending on individual performance. Geographic location is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by years of experience. There are more female Revenue Accountants who answered the questionnaire than male, making up 63 percent. Most Revenue Accountants like their work and job satisfaction is high. Medical benefits are awarded to most, and a large number earn dental coverage.

Revenue accountants are often also called senior accountants, finance accountants, or senior revenue accountants. Revenue accountants work in manufacturing companies, distribution companies, the wholesale industry, the health care industry, retail companies, and many other fields of business. Basically, any business that processes sales and service revenue needs revenue accountants. They mainly work indoors during standard daytime office hours. They are usually full-time employees, but they might work overtime during busy times of the year. Revenue accountants need a bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, financial management, or a related field. The job often requires revenue accountants to be CPA's as well. Many companies prefer experience in accounting or finance. In addition to a bachelor's degree, revenue accountants must often also be proficient in Microsoft Office, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Outlook.Read More...
Revenue accountants are responsible for handling all financial aspects of a company. They perform daily, weekly, and monthly audits for their company or department. They also assist during quarterly financial reviews and annual audits. This includes month-end closing and reporting responsibilities. They often oversee monitoring of accounts payable and receivable, as well as the technical accounting analysis relating to the department or company they work for. They also often delegate or supervise preparation of budgets, forecasts and various other year-end financial reports. They are often required to work with marketing personnel and advertising departments to increase revenue. In addition to all of these duties, revenue accountants will often participate in performing special projects.
Revenue accountants should be very organized and committed to exact deadlines. They must have strong customer services skills, as they will often work with clients to resolve billing issues and discrepancies. They also review client financial data to calculate monthly client billings. Revenue accountants are required to have a strong work ethic and high level of integrity. They often work with other departments to provide financial analysis and give constructive feedback to department heads from those departments.
Survey results suggest that Revenue Accountants use a fairly large toolkit of professional skills. Most notably, facility with Oracle and Revenue Recognition are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 22 percent and 10 percent, respectively. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Accounting. Those educated in Financial Analysis tend to be well versed in Accounting.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Salaries of relatively inexperienced workers fall in the neighborhood of $52K, but folks who have racked up five to 10 years see a notably higher median of $59K. After working for 10 to 20 years, Revenue Accountants make a median salary of $64K. Survey respondents who have worked for more than 20 years actually report somewhat lower incomes of $56K.
Home to some of the best pay for Revenue Accountants, San Francisco offers exceptional salaries, 45 percent above the national average. Revenue Accountants can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Fort Worth (+27 percent), Seattle (+14 percent), Dallas (+12 percent), and Houston (+12 percent). With compensation 11 percent below the national average, Miami is not known for hefty paychecks and actually represents the lowest-paying market. Workers in Oklahoma City and Denver earn salaries that trail the national average for those in this profession (6 percent less and 4 percent less, respectively).

New: Attach expense receipts to your invoices
Managing expenses in FreshBooks is easier than ever: You can now choose to attach receipt images to your invoices!
Why is this a good thing? Well firstly, if you re-bill your expenses to your clients, they can see those expense receipts attached right to your invoice (no separate approval process required). Also, your receipts are backed up, organized by expense/project/client, and all in one place—no scraps of paper floating around everywhere!
If you're not already using FreshBooks to manage expenses, this is a great time to try it out. Here's how:
1) When logging an expense in FreshBooks, you'll now see a link to upload a photo or scan of your expense receipt (in .png, .jpg and .gif file format). Of course, you can still add expenses without uploading a file, too.2) When you generate an invoice and choose to include your expenses assigned to your Project, your receipts automatically get added to your invoice. To leave off the receipts (or expenses altogether), use the Edit Invoice screen to set your preferences. 3) Here's what your client will see when they view the invoice:
- If viewing the invoice online, they can click a link below the invoice to see the receipt
- If viewing the invoice as a PDF, the image of each receipt is displayed on a page
- If receiving the invoice via Snail Mail, each receipt gets printed on its own dedicated page and included in the envelope with the invoice.

CHARLESTON - Former U.S. Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich made a stop in town on Friday to help raise funds for 1st Congressional District candidate Tim Scott.
Scott said he was inspired by Gingrich's 1994 Contract with America when Scott first ran for Charleston County Council.
"When I think about Newt Gingrich, I think about 1994," he said, referencing the year in which Gingrich led a Republican takeover of the House of Representatives.
Scott spoke of a "government bubble," comprised of high spending and large deficits that he said is the next crisis threatening the United States.
"We must reclaim America by reclaiming our financial common sense," he said to applause.
Gingrich began his short speech at the $500-per-person event by praising Scott, especially the contract he had printed on the back of campaign brochures.
He then moved on to other topics, focusing on the Obama administration and the national government at large. He said Obama "saved [Jimmy] Carter from being the worst president in modern times."
He called the government incompetent regarding national security and said too much regulation was getting in the way of small businesses.
Gingrich made a stop on his way to Charleston to speak with gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley. He said he gave her advice on building a relationship with the state Legislature.
"She's gonna work to build a team so that the entire team gets the job done," he said.
The crowd at downtown restaurant Tristan, about 40-strong, included former Gov. Jim Edwards and GOP attorney general candidate Alan Wilson. U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson made a brief appearance toward the end of the event.
Gingrich has been named by some as a potential Republican presidential candidate in 2012.
Although he said he had not made the decision officially, he said he had not ruled out the possibility of running for president. "We're looking at it very seriously," he said, emphasizing his current focus on this fall's races.
Gingrich's endorsement of Scott is the fourth to come from a potential 2012 GOP presidential nominee. He already has been backed by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former Alaska Gov. and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
"I think that's indicative that ... all the votes are coming through South Carolina," Scott said.
Scott's November opponents include perennial Democratic candidate Ben Frasier, Keith Blandford of the Libertarian Party, Robert Dobbs of the Green Party, M.E. McCullough of the United Citizens Party and Jimmy Wood of the Independent Party.

TRADERS in the Medan Mara building in Jalan Raja Laut are unhappy with the management for keeping them in the dark about plans to upgrade the building.
They claim that the management Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) is planning to refurbish the building and bring in new traders.
Their fears were confirmed when about 100 traders received notices on June 8 giving them three months to move out.
A trader said most of the shop operators who received the notices were pioneers who had been there since the 1980s.
"We have been here for so long and it is not right for the management to suddenly kick us out,'' she said.
According to the trader, Mara which manages the place, did not inform the traders of its decision.
"I was shocked to receive the notice last week and was not able to concentrate on work since then as I am worried about my future and livelihood,'' she said.
Another trader said he heard talk that Mara wanted to upgrade the place and inject some life into the dying mall.
"I heard that they wanted to raise the rent and to make the place look more presentable,'' she said.
A trader, who specialises in sewing baju kurung and kebaya, said she was disappointed with the way Mara was going about the matter.
"They should communicate to us about their plans. We are happy that they want to modernise the place, I think it is a good idea and is also about time.
"But do not leave us out; offer us the opportunity to grow with the modernisation,'' he said.
"All these years Mara has done nothing to promote the place. Now they want to do upgrade the building and want to kick us out,'' he said.
Another trader, who wished to be known only as Nani, said the management insisted that they open on weekends when no one was working.
"It makes no sense for us to open our shops and turn on the lights on the first floor, while the lobby is in darkness.
"No one will come into the building when the lights are turned off at the entrance,'' she said.
Most of the traders interviewed said they did not mind paying extra and were even willing to modernise their shops as they preferred to continue operating at the place since they already had their regulars.
Federal Territory Malay Hawkers and Small Traders Association president Datuk Bahrim A. Razak said it was not right for Mara to keep the traders in the dark about their redevelopment plans.
"Some of the traders have nowhere to go as they have been here for a long time,'' he said, adding that it would be difficult for them to start afresh elsewhere.
"There are traders who have spent thousands of ringgit on renovations. Moreover, Mara should keep the communication channels open with the traders.
"Mara should come up with an in-house circular informing the tenants of their promotions and happenings at the mall regularly and Mara's Entrepreneur Department should monitor the situation and talk to tenants about their concerns,'' Bahrim said.
He said the traders were setting up an action council to address their problems and were preparing a memorandum to be submitted to Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin as well as Rural and Regional Development Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal.

– have had three consecutive 3-0 series leads in one playoff year? I know Montreal did it at least twice (in the late 60s and in…1976?) and Pittsburgh did it since the lock-out, either the year they won it all, or the year they lost in the finals to Detroit. Who else?
4 comments for "Question for the Hive Mind: How many teams –"
I can tell you that since 1987 no team has gone 12-1 to open the playoffs and only 2 have gotten to 11-1, the '95 Red Wings and the '08 Penguins. The only other team to start 10-1 other than this year's Kings was the '88 Oilers. Of the prior 3, only Edmonton won the Cup.
Going back to 1987 when the NHL switched to four Best of 7 series, only two teams have gotten out to 3-0 leads in the first 3 rounds. The 2008 Penguins and the 1995 Red Wings. They both lost in the Finals.
Not even that many teams did in in two rounds. I wasn't keeping track but it was two or three others.
And the 2012 Los Angeles Kings!!!!!!!!!!!

Corporate News
The economy made 2003 another tough year for computer technology companies. Corporate IT spending continued to be depressed, which put even more pressure on the bottom lines of companies that supplied computers and software. As the year ended, the Connecticut-based research firm Gartner Group predicted that the three-year downturn in computer-related spending was ending and that global technology spending would rise from $2.27 trillion in 2003 to $2.4 trillion in 2004.
Several corporate consolidations took place during the year. Yahoo spent $1.6 billion to buy Overture Services, Inc., which pioneered the concept of companies' paying for a favourable position on a search engine's results page. Data storage systems firm EMC Corp. bought Legato Systems, a storage software firm, for $1.3 billion and acquired Documentum, Inc., a document management software firm, for $1.43 billion. Database firm Oracle's $7.25 billion unfriendly bid to take over enterprise human resources software firm PeopleSoft was extended to February 2004, the sixth extension of the deadline. As PeopleSoft's outlook improved, its stock rose above Oracle's per-share bid price and thereby cast doubt on whether the transaction would occur. The deal also hinged on whether it was considered anticompetitive by U.S. and European Commission regulators. Oracle had launched its bid days after PeopleSoft reported that it would acquire manufacturing-integration software firm J.D. Edwards for $1.7 billion. Palm bought personal digital assistant competitor Handspring, but the value of the deal was difficult to calculate because the stock transaction excluded the value of Palm's PalmSource software operations, which were slated for a separate spinoff. Palm and Handspring were combined to form PalmOne.
Other companies reacted to the economy by trying to be more nimble. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) sought to stay a step ahead of its larger rival, Intel Corp., by introducing its own version of the 64-bit microprocessor, the next step in boosting computer power by processing larger slices of data at one time. AMD's new 64-bit chip offered backward compatibility with 32-bit programs written for PCs and network servers, while Intel's two-year-old 64-bit chip had required new software written specifically for its architecture—a factor cited by some industry observers as the reason Intel's chip had been slow to take off.
Apple led the way as personal computer manufacturers tried to remake themselves into consumer electronics companies in order to deal with the slowed market for personal computers. Apple gained considerable publicity with its iPod MP3 music player and its iTunes authorized music-download service, especially when iTunes was adapted to the much larger Windows-based PC market late in the year; these initiatives contributed to a 36% increase in Apple's revenue over the previous year. PC companies trying to branch out into consumer electronics included Dell Inc., Gateway, Inc., and Hewlett-Packard Co. (HP). Dell, for example, introduced a music player, an online music service, a liquid crystal display television set, and a new handheld computer. While Dell made the move into consumer electronics from a position of strength in the PC business, Gateway sought to use consumer electronics devices to save its financially ailing PC business. Meanwhile, HP, fresh from its takeover of Compaq Computer Corp., released digital cameras and other digital entertainment products.
AOL's parent company, AOL Time Warner Inc., changed its name to Time Warner Inc. to shed the image of its slowing AOL Internet access business. Observers considered this an admission that the 2000 merger of AOL and Time Warner had been a failure. AOL announced plans to gain more customers by offering a discounted $9.95 per month dial-up Internet access service under its Netscape brand name; that represented a considerable reduction from the $23.90 a month charged for the AOL brand-name service.
Many companies reduced employment to cope with a difficult economy. Sony Corp. announced that it would eliminate 20,000 jobs, or 13% of its workforce, as part of a plan to save $3 billion over three years. EDS Corp., the second largest computer-services firm, planned to eliminate about 2% of its workforce, or some 2,700 employees. Sun Microsystems cut about 3% of its workforce to cope with more than two years of declining sales. Gateway eliminated more than 1,900 jobs and closed 80 of its retail stores. High-end computing firm Silicon Graphics laid off nearly one-fourth of its employees as it tried to cut expenses.
The number of students pursuing computer technology careers in college continued to drop, an apparent reflection of the reduction in job prospects in the field due to the economy. Colleges with big computer science and electrical engineering departments reported enrollment declines of 20–40% in those departments since 2001, which was shortly after the bursting of the Internet bubble of business activity. The lessened interest in technical fields came at the same time that the U.S. government and IT companies were defending the outsourcing of computer technology jobs to countries where wages were lower. Gartner predicted that by 2008 a quarter of all technology jobs would be located in less-developed countries with low costs.
Some technology firm executives stated that American corporations would reinvest the money saved through outsourcing and that this would lead to more American jobs in the long run. Others suggested the impending retirement of the post-World War II baby-boom generation would open up more computer technology job opportunities in the U.S., despite outsourcing. Computer executives also admitted that there was a risk that outsourcing might simply result in fewer American computer technology jobs. The U.S. government opposed any limits on the outsourcing of computer technology jobs, calling it a short-term protectionist approach, but there was some concern in Congress over the offshore outsourcing of work on government contracts.
The PC industry seemed to be on an upward trend late in the year, although there was little economic recovery in the American business market, a key segment for the PC industry's prosperity. Worldwide PC shipments grew faster than anticipated in the third quarter and were about 15% higher than in the same period a year earlier.
As the year drew to a close, IBM Corp. reported that it was beginning to see signs of economic stabilization and expected to create 10,000 new jobs in 2004. Google, the privately owned search engine company that had become nearly a household word, remained consistently profitable. Google's edge was its private computer network that periodically scoured and stored a large percentage of the Internet's Web pages and then used them to provide what were widely considered the best searches of that information. By year's end investors were expecting an initial public stock offering (IPO) from Google that some estimated could value the company at more than $15 billion.
PC industry pioneer Adam Osborne, a former technical writer who introduced the first portable personal computer in 1981, died at age 64. (See Obituaries.)

PORTLAND-- Imagine this, never having to pay a power bill again. Sound like a dream? Well, it's a reality for the owners of one brand new Happy Valley home.
The home is one of five houses featured in this year s Northwest Natural Street of Dreams.
Crews with Elemental Energy put up 68 solar panels to form what will be one of the largest residential solar installations in Oregon.
They are using a drone to help document their work.
It gives you a real good perspective that you can t quite get from the ground, said John Grieser, the owner of the company.
Once completed, it will be Northwest Natural Street of Dreams greenest home to date.
Even though it will be full of all the latest high tech gadgets and appliances, homeowner Carl Waide will never have to pay a power bill.
I ve always wanted to build eco-friendly, said Waide. With technology and the way that solar has grown and evolved we re able to one hundred percent offset this entire house s electric consumption over the course of the whole year,
The panels will also charge Waide's electric car.
They can drive 12,000 miles a year with their electric car and have it completely fueled by the energy coming off the solar panels, Grieser said.
The up-front cost of the solar panels is about $40,000 or $22,000 after federal and state tax credits.
Considering it will save about $3,000 dollars a year in energy, the system will pay for itself in just over seven years
So what may be a dream home for many will someday be a reality as more and more homes go solar.
In the last 18 months, the United States as a whole has installed more solar panels than the previous 30 years combined, Grieser said.

George Clapp Vaillant
George Clapp Vaillant (April 5, 1901, – May 13, 1945) was an American anthropologist.
George Clapp Vaillant was born 1901 in Boston, Massachusetts, and attended Noble and Greenough School in his hometown. After finishing his secondary education at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, he went to Harvard University where he received his Bachelor's Degree in 1922 and Ph.D. in 1927. His Ph.D. thesis established a chronology of Maya ceramics. Later on, his work launched the historical sequence of cultures in pre-Columbian Mexico.
During his college years, he worked at the Harvard Peabody Museum, and continued on excavating in Pecos, New Mexico. At the American Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., Vaillant was appointed the position of associate curator from 1930 to 1941. He became the honorary curator of Mexican Archaeology from 1941 to 1945; during this time, he also taught at several local universities. He was the Senior Cultural Relations Officer for the United States Embassy in Lima, Peru from 1943 to 1944.
Vaillant conducted archaeological expeditions in the Southwest from 1921 to 1922 and 1922 to 1925, in Egypt from 1923 to 1924, and in Central America in 1926 and 1928 to 1936. He also organized archaeological programs throughout Latin America. Three major excavation sites in the Basin of Mexico, Zacatenco, Ticomán, and El Arbolillo, are located.
Aztecs of Mexico: Origins, Rise and Fall of the Aztec Nation was completed in 1941, and a second edition was published posthumously. His other book, Indian Arts in North America, was written in 1939. Vaillant also wrote several monographs on Middle American excavations.
Vaillant was known for the reconstruction of the early stages of Mexican Culture. His excavations at Zacatenco, Ticomán and El Arbollo established the framework for the Formative or Preclassic period in central Mexico. He was also known for his synthesis of Aztec history, which is also written in Aztecs in Mexico. Throughout his research of relating archaeology to the events and descriptions of colonial sources and Mexican traditions, Vaillant concentrated on problems of chronology and culture history. Later in his career Vaillant excavated at several Aztec sites (Chiconautla and Nonoalco), but failed to publish these projects. Several decades later Christina Elson and other scholars at the American Museum of Natural History completed the study of artifacts from these sites and began a program to publish them.
Vaillant killed himself in Devon, Pennsylvania in 1945, at the age of 44. His wife found him in their yard, a revolver next to him and a fatal wound through his head. The last person to see him alive was his elder son and namesake, George Eman Vaillant, who at that time was 10 years old.[1]

"Important thing is that Pakistan act and that these people are brought to justice"
Washington: United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has said that there is evidence of involvement "somehow" on Pakistan soil in the Mumbai terror attacks and pressed Islamabad to act quickly to arrest suspects to ensure there is no "follow-on attacks."
Ms. Rice also advised an "outraged" India to exercise restraint so as to not to make the situation "worse."
"I think we do believe that there was – there is evidence of involvement somehow on Pakistani soil...even if these were non-state actors, which I believe they were – non-state actors operating on Pakistani soil. It is still Pakistan's responsibility to respond," she told Fox News.
Ms. Rice made this remark when asked if she thought the Mumbai attack was launched from Pakistan and were there signs the attackers were trained either by current or former Pakistani military or intelligence?
She said she stressed during her visit to Pakistan last week how important it was for Islamabad to act quickly but denied there was a 48-hour deadline to take action.
"The important thing is that Pakistan act and that these people are brought to justice and that any information that they may have is put to use in making sure follow-on attacks don't happen."
Ms. Rice was asked to comment on a report that she had asked Pakistan government to arrest a former head of Pakistani intelligence outfit, ISI.
"Well, I don't want to get into the details of this. This is counter-terrorism work. And obviously, I don't want to tip their hand or ours. But this is a time when Pakistan must act. They must act in concert with India, with the United States. Great Britain is helping," she said.
"I was absolutely convinced that President Zardari, Prime Minister Gilani and other officials understand this is also Pakistan's fight, because it is trying to root out terrorism and terrorists within that country. So, I did feel that there was a good, strong commitment there. But now we have to see follow-through," she said. Ms. Rice said that though she could understand the frustration and anger of India, New Delhi should restrict itself from any action that could make the situation worse. — PTI

I Envy Those Who Have Not Read P. G. Wodehouse And Are About To
Lev Grossman has this to say about P. G. Wodehouse: "As it turns out, Pelham Grenville Wodehouse — what else would the P.G. stand for? — was an English writer born in 1881. He was a comic writer in an age of serious aesthetes: he was of the generation of James Joyce and Virginia Woolf, and the toweringly serious works of his famous coevals have gone a long way towards obscuring Wodehouse's enormous gifts as a stylist. His subject was the foibles of the pre-war English aristocracy, which sounds limiting, but it was his subject the same way marble was Michelangelo's subject. He could do anything with it. (He also co-wrote the book for Anything Goes. True fact.)" [more inside]

That evergreen feminist cautionary fable: The Handmaid's Tale
Does The Handmaid's Tale hold up? , Adi Robertson for The Verge:
"A few weeks ago, I mentioned to a friend that I was in the middle of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. 'It's like 1984 for feminists, right?' he asked. Sort of, I said. But it's a lot scarier. It's about how you'll lose every right you have, and none of the men you know will care. Then I said he would probably betray me if they froze all women's bank accounts. That was the peak of my paranoia, but it held on for several more days, as I read on the subway while half-consciously figuring out how I might theoretically escape to Canada. 1984 was for lightweights."[more inside]
Electric Literature's 25 Best Novels of 2014
"Year-end lists are always subjective and incomplete, but they are especially tricky for books. A dedicated film critic can watch every wide release film and a theater critic can go to most every play, but the book critic is faced with an insurmountable mountain of books each year. The sheer number of books is inspiring as a reader, but it can make 'best of' lists laughably subjective when the critic has only read a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of novels published each year. With that in mind, I decided to crowd source Electric Literature's year-end lists. First up: novels."
anxieties about lurid voyeurism, unwholesome interest: In Cold Blood
"Much has been said about the storytelling techniques of 'Serial,' which comes out in weekly installments even as the show's host, Sarah Koenig, reinvestigates the conviction of a Baltimore-area teenager for the murder of his ex-girlfriend. The serialized approach teases its audience with cliffhangers, prompts its listeners to construct their own theories and invites outsiders to glimpse the tricky winnowing process of reporting. But 'Serial' also testifies to how much the criminal justice system itself is founded on storytelling."

17 Brilliant Short Novels You Can Read in a Sitting by Lincoln Michel at Electric Literature:
This week author Ian McEwan expressed his love of short novels, saying "very few [long] novels earn their length." Certainly it seems like a novel has to be a minimum of 500 pages to win a major literary award these days, and many genre novels have ballooned to absurd sizes.[more inside]
I love a good tome, but like McEwan many of my favorite novels are sharpened little gems. It's immensely satisfying to finish a book in a single day, so in the spirit of celebrating quick reads here are some of my favorite short novels. I've tried to avoid the most obvious titles that are regularly assigned in school (The Stranger, Heart of Darkness, Mrs Dalloway, Of Mice and Men, Frankenstein, The Crying of Lot 49, etc.). Hopefully you'll find some titles here you haven't read before.

the dangerous precision worship
Among a rising chorus of folks speaking out about problems caused by America's obsession with football at every level, author (and fan) Steve Almond's voice stands out the loudest. His new book Against Football argues that "our allegiance to football legitimizes and even fosters within us a tolerance for violence, greed, racism, and homophobia." In a nutshell "Fans should stop watching." Needless to say the book has provoked a strong reaction in fans (and defensive sportswriters), most notably in New York Mag, with Jonathan Chait's personal story of how football made him a better person: "In Defense of Male Aggression: What Liberals Get Wrong About Football".

"distinctly queer and contemporary, as if retrofitting a classic car"
"Longings and Desires", a Slate.com book review by Amanda Katz:
[Sarah] Waters, who was born in Wales in 1966, has carved out an unusual spot in fiction. Her six novels, beginning with Tipping the Velvet in 1998, could be called historical fiction, but that doesn't begin to capture their appeal. It is closer to say that she is creating pitch-perfect popular fiction of an earlier time, but swapping out its original moral engine for a sensibility that is distinctly queer and contemporary, as if retrofitting a classic car.[more inside]
Her books offer something like an alternate reality—a literary one, if not a historical one. There may have been lesbian male impersonators working the London music halls in the 1890s, as in Tipping the Velvet, but there were certainly not mainstream novels devoted to their inner lives and sexual exploits. Waters gives such characters their say in books that imitate earlier crowd-pleasers in their structure, slang, and atmosphere, but that are powered by queer longing, defiant identity politics, and lusty, occasionally downright kinky sex. (An exception is her last novel, The Little Stranger.) The most masterful of these books so far is Fingersmith, a Wilkie Collins-esque tale full of genuinely shocking twists (thieves, double-crossing, asylums, mistaken identity, just go read it). The saddest is The Night Watch, a tale told in reverse of a group of entwined characters during and after World War II. But among many readers she is still most beloved for Tipping the Velvet, a deliriously paced coming-of-age story that is impossible to read in public without blushing.

Things That Don't Suck, Some Notes on The Stand
[Spoiler alert: assume everything, from the link above to those below, contains SPOILERS.] [more inside]
I recently reread The Stand for no particular reason other than I felt like it. I'm honestly not sure how many time[s] I've read it at this point, more than three, less than a half dozen (though I can clearly remember my first visit to that horrifyingly stripped bare world as I can remember the first reading of all the truly great King stories). It's not my favorite of King's work, but it is arguably his most richly and completely imagined. It truly is the American Lord of The Rings, with the concerns of England (Pastorialism vs. Industrialism, Germany's tendency to try and blow it up every thirty years or so) replaced by those of America (Religion, the omnipresent struggle between our liberal and libertarian ideals, our fear of and dependence on the military, racial and gender tension) and given harrowing size.
I'm happy to say that The Stand holds up well past the bounds of nostalgia and revisiting the world and these characters was as pleasurable as ever. But you can't step in the same river twice, even when you're revisiting a favorite book. Even if the river hasn't changed you have. This isn't meant as any kind of comprehensive essay on The Stand. Just a couple of things I noticed upon dipping my toes in the river this time.

Amazon vs. Hachette, an Epic Battle Faught with Letters and Addresses
Best Selling author Douglas Preston, along with 907 other authors, signed a letter that ran as a double full-page ad in yesterday's print edition of the New York Times, asking Amazon to stop blocking or delaying the sale of books on their site as a tactic to lower the e-book prices that Amazon is charged by the publisher Hachette.* The three month dispute between Hachette and Amazon previously prompted a response by Amazon's self-published authors and readers, but it took an odd turn Saturday night when Amazon posted this letter on a site called ReadersUnited.com, after sending it as an email to all of its Kindle Direct Publishing authors. In that letter they include Hachette's CEO's email, and have asked their KDP authors to write to Hachette's CEO telling him what they think about cheaper ebooks. [more inside]

The Pen is Mightier than The Diving Elbow Drop Lucha Libre is Mexico's answer to wrestling. Fighters put on masks an duke it out in the ring.

The loser has to take off his mask. The winner goes onto another round. The grand prize winner receives a book contract.

BBC Radio 4 Book Club: 179 episodes now available online
Book Club. This 30-minute programme's been on Radio 4, the BBC's premier speech radio station, since 1998. Books are announced a month in advance, giving listeners a chance to read the chosen title before the discussion. James Naughtie then interviews the book's author about it in front of an audience of his (or her) readers, who also put questions of their own. My favourites from the programme's archive include Alan Bennet (Writing Home), Clive James (Unreliable Memoirs), Douglas Adams (a 1 hour special on Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), Elmore Leonard (Rum Punch), James Ellroy (Black Dahlia), PJ O'Rourke (Holidays in Hell) and Stephen Fry (The Hippopotamus).

The Top Ten: Writers Pick Their Favorite Books catalogs the top ten favorite books of over 140 major authors and growing, including Louis D. Rubin, Jim Harrison, David Foster Wallace, David Leavitt, Paul Auster, Michael Chabon, and many more. Here's the list of books rank-ordered by frequency and here are other lists compiled from the statistics.
Author interviews
"Book TV's After Words features the author of a recently published hardback non-fiction book interviewed by a guest host with some knowledge, background, or connection to the subject matter of the book." There's also a podcast version (link goes to XML feed), for those who'd rather listen. Many more non-fiction author interviews can be found at Booknotes (transcripts and streaming video). If your tastes run to interviews with authors of fiction, check out the BBC's Modern Writers archive. (BookTV (but not specifically After Words) previously, Booknotes (but before the series ended) previously.)
Smart Authors and Designers Discuss Their Covers
Talking Covers: authors and designers talk about the ideas behind their book covers. [more inside]
What becomes a legend most?
In 1929, John Galsworthy won a Guardian poll as the novelist most likely to still be read in 2029. Three years later, he won the Nobel Prize, and the prices of his first editions skyrocketed. His reputation has since been on a 80-year wane that shows no signs of abating. The New Yorker asks Why is Literary Fame So Unpredictable? And who will they be teaching in literature class a century from now?
"...for the next tour, I'll either be calm and collected or nervous with a dangerously out-of-control boner."
"I'm curious about what will happen next."
"I always knew that Sugar was Cheryl, and that the anonymity was just a temporary experience, and it wasn't going to be really who Sugar was in the end. I revealed myself to you. I only withheld one piece of pretty meaningless information: my name. But I showed myself to you." Dear Sugar of The Rumpus is revealed to be author Cheryl Strayed. [more inside]

"We are already experts at lying to ourselves"
Clancy Martin is the chair of the philosophy department at the University of Missouri, Kansas City. He's also an unabashed liar, a recovering alcoholic, and was once suicidal. He's surprisingly honest, and has written extensively about all three of these things. Prior to becoming a professor, he dropped out of grad school, made a small fortune in the murky world of luxury jewelry sales, and nearly became the world's leading dealer of counterfeit Fabergé eggs along the way. He occasionally writes an advice column about lying, and even wrote a few books about it. [more inside]
I [heart] Librarians
Libraries are, for many of us, the public places where we bring our most private selves, our fears and our dreams, so long buried and so studiously unspoken. The librarian checking out a stack of books may be for many of us, the equivalent of the first person we've told a secret to. Which brings me to the real reason I chose the profession that I did for my narrator: Even more than libraries, I love librarians.

Let's Go To Pommeroy's And Have Toast To Rumpole
Yukio Mishima 14 January 1925 - 25 November 1970
"There's something very shabby about a noble grave... Political power and the power of wealth result in splendid graves. Really impressive graves, you know. Such creatures never had any imagination while they lived, and quite naturally their graves don't leave any room for imagination either. But noble people live only on the imaginations of themselves and others, and so they leave graves like this one which inevitably stir one's imagination. And this I find even more wretched. Such people, you see, are obliged even after they are dead to continue begging people to use their power of imagination." - Yukio Mishima via Kashiwagi in The Temple of the Golden Pavilion. On this, the anniversary of Mishima's transformation into a headless god, a collection of video links. [more inside]

taping downloading is killing music authorship. The Society of Authors warns that authors will simply stop writing if they aren't compensated for piracy of their work (as unlikely as that seems). Perhaps they should follow the example of Jim Griffin, newly hired at Warner Music to persuade broadband providers to attach a $5 per month surcharge for the benefit of the major labels, in exchange for halting the lawsuits that have thus far been their mainstay weapon against piracy.

Nicholson Baker, who in his book, Double Fold, argued for saving newspaper collections, explores "The Charms of Wikipedia" with insightful and hilarious results. He also has a new book, Human Smoke, coming out (excerpt)
Ideas in the Air
To The Best Of Our Knowledge is one of the most wide-ranging and literate public radio shows in the US, a two-hour "radio salon" featuring leisurely exploration of weekly themes like No Smoking, Identity Crisis, Weekend, and The Mind, Music, and Math. Host Jim Fleming approaches these big ideas through the works of authors - journalists of all stripes, memoirists, poets, fiction writers, essayists. Five years' worth of shows are available on audio archives; you can also search the impressive list of authors by name, or subscribe to the podcast. [more inside]
Photographs of Authors
Pictures of writers in a thread on I Love Music. Lots and lots of pictures of lots of writers. Another thread from the same board with more pictures (some duplicates). Author photos are most often seen on dust jackets or in the back of books, a practice Frances Wilson wishes to see abolished. One famous connoisseur of pictures of writers is Javier Marías who wrote a whole book on the subject, Written Lives. Here are a few excerpts from the book: William Faulkner, Isak Dinesen (pen name of Karen Blixen) and an edited extract covering a whole lot of authors. [more inside]
"turn to page 69 of any book and read it. If you like that page, buy the book."

Booktribes is a new site from the creators of writing site Abctales where bibliophiles can compile lists of every book they've ever read. Replete with a simple, intuitive interface, compiling your life's reading list becomes strangely addictive, and for the whole of March, the best comment of the day on this as-yet underpopulated site wins a copy of David Mitchell's Black Swan Green, with the best comment of the month winning the entire 21 volume Sceptre Collection. And if you're worried your reading list isn't up to scratch, don't panic - you can always cheat.
(some) books are for girls
Gender differences in literary taste - The Guardian (inter alia) has been reporting two English professors' studies of reading habits and feelings about books by gender. Others (newest to oldest): most revelatory books by reader gender (for men), (for women), author gender by reader gender. The methodology may not be unassailable but the findings are interesting and plausible. [viaduct vianochicken]

In those days, he could do no wrong. In the Sixties, he was the man who published Catch-22, Portnoy's Complaint and Hemingway's A Moveable Feast; he put John Lennon's doodles into cold print, launched the careers of John Fowles and Gabriel García Márquez, looked after Thomas Pynchon and Kurt Vonnegut and later, in the early 1980s, was the godfatherly mentor of Amis fils, Julian Barnes, Ian McEwan and Salman Rushdie. He was equally adept at commissioning inspired non-fictions such as The Naked Ape, Desmond Morris's zoological inspection of human behaviour.

Five Axis Scion iQ Show Car (2011)
Thursday, June 24th 2010
As part of the North American debut of the all-new 2011 Scion iQ premium micro-subcompact car, Five Axis has created a special iQ show car for display at the 2010 New York International Auto Show (NYIAS). Five Axis' iQ show car demonstrates the personal customization synonymous with all Scions.
Elegance and sophistication were the primary influences for the iQ show car. This is evident with its unique exterior color called Titanium, consisting of pearl bismuth silver that is accented with black chrome.
Inside, the special iQ show car is appointed with custom leather-trimmed seats and door inserts and an Ultrasuede® EcoDesignTM headliner. Unique upholstery is provided by Little John's Interior Concepts and custom floor mats were provided by Chilewich.
Performance was enhanced with the installation of a TRD Custom Big Brake Kit and a Tein suspension. The iQ show car rides on 18-inch Yokohama S.drive tires mounted onto five AD S6:F wheels.
Founded in 1995 by Troy Sumitomo, Five Axis is most noted for their concept cars and high-end showcars often seen at major international auto shows and trade shows like SEMA. Their primary customers are auto manufacturers such as Toyota for whom Five Axis supports many of their internal R&D programs. Five Axis also has their own line of wheels and aftermarket products, which are designed and created using the same methods and technology to create their high-end concepts and show cars.
The Five Axis Scion iQ show car will be on display throughout the 2010 NYIAS.
