Japan's position on situation in Senkaku Islands
RECENTLY, China's provocative actions near the Senkaku Islands have been increasingly intense. Chinese government vessels have navigated almost daily on Japanese contiguous waters off the coast of the Senkaku Islands, with some staying for more than seven hours. Recently, a Chinese aircraft flew over Japan's sovereign territory.
I wish to share with the readers of the Inquirer Japan's position on Japan-China relations surrounding the situation of the Senkaku Islands.
First, on Dec. 13, China committed a further dangerous act of a Chinese state aircraft intruding into Japan's airspace by flying over the Senkaku Islands. This is the first intrusion of this kind, which increases the possibility of a contingency and which escalates the current situation. Based on international law, every state has complete and exclusive sovereignty over the airspace above its territory. China's intrusion clearly constitutes an unlawful act. Also, any country can take necessary measures to stop an airspace incursion.
While Japan intends to calmly deal with the matter, it will take a firm response to an airspace incursion under domestic laws and regulations. When the incursion occurred on Dec. 13, Japan's Air Self-Defense Forces took a countermeasure in line with a standard operating procedure that is widely recognized in the international community.
Second, China continues to unilaterally escalate the situation. It is China that is challenging the status quo concerning the Senkaku Islands. Why does China choose to challenge it by coercion and not based on international law? Is this a China that "opposes hegemonism and power politics in all their forms" and that "will never seek hegemony or engage in expansion" (from a report to the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party)? Does China want to see Japan-China relations pass the point of no return?
If China further escalates the current situation, Japan will have no choice but to consider its future response with adequate readiness. Japan is deeply concerned that the environment to continue communications between diplomatic authorities of the two countries could be harmed. Japan strongly hopes that China will prove its diplomacy of "peacefully dealing with issues" by its own action.
Third, Japan's basic position that the Senkaku Islands belong to it is unshakable. At the same time, Japan, as a responsible stakeholder of the region, will deal with the current situation in a calm manner from a broad perspective. In fact, Japan is ready to maintain close communications with China in an effort to ease tensions. Based on the hallmark that Japan has consistently maintained after World War II, Japan, as a peace-loving nation, will continue to contribute to peace and prosperity in Asia.

Sun promises to open-source Java
- Related Stories
Java inches closer to open sourceMay 16, 2006
Ex-Sun exec returns to run software groupMay 1, 2006
Open-source advocate: Release Java codeFebruary 13, 2004
Open-source advocates have urged Sun for years to open-source the Java programming language, but the company has resisted, citing compatibility concerns and fear of losing control. Now the company has promised that Java will become open source.
Sun set to open up Java
At JavaOne, Sun Microsystems CEO Jonathan Schwartz and Rich Green, the company's new executive vice president of software, officially announce that Java will become open source.
"At this point, it is not a question of whether, but it is a question of how" Sun will open-source Java, Rich Green, the company's new executive vice president of software, said at Sun's annual JavaOne developer conference here.
The previous concerns have not gone away, said Green, who rejoined the company earlier this month. "There are two battling forces here," he said. One force is the demand for Sun to open up Java, and the other is concern for compatibility. "This is something for us to go figure out," he said.
Green didn't give a time line or details of how Sun would proceed. When Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz repeated Greens' statement onstage, the audience cheered. "The question is not whether we will open-source Java, the question is how," Schwartz reiterated.
In a meeting with reporters after the opening address at JavaOne, Schwartz and Green shared a few more details. "All the community will be involved," Green said. "I feel like I have not one boss, but thousands of them. This has to be done as a group," he said.
Because it is not a simple task, no targets can be set regarding arrival time, Green said.
Sun hopes that releasing Java under an Open Source Initiative, or OSI, license will increase the number of Java users. "Minimally, (we expect) that those who have said that they won't use Java unless it is under an OSI license will now use Java," Schwartz said. "It just grows the tent."
Schwartz makes the right point, said RedMonk analyst James Governor. "If there are people out there saying they won't use it because of religion, that makes a lot of sense." Yet for enterprise Java users, compatibility is a critical issue, and Sun has to tread carefully, Governor said.
The jury is still out on whether Sun's announcement will make a difference, said Lyn Robison, an analyst at the Burton Group. "I'd like to see how they are going to do it," he said.
IBM--a Sun rival, but also a big Java user--supports Sun's action in committing to open-sourcing Java, Rod Smith, IBM's vice president of emerging technology, said in a statement.
"Java has grown in popularity, but the rate and pace of innovation has been limited by the degree of openness Sun was then willing to embrace," Smith said. IBM would gladly help Sun bring Java into the open-source realm, he added.
Increasing the number of Java users should in turn grow Sun's business, Schwartz said. "Open-sourcing products doesn't mean you have less revenue; it means you have less barriers to revenue," he said. "Folks that want to pay for the product will continue to pay for it. They want access to support and services."
Since Sun open-sourced Solaris, the company's business related to the operating system has grown at a rate Schwartz hadn't seen before at Sun, he said. "Open source allows us to appeal to those customers that will only use or incorporate open-source products," he said.
Attendees of JavaOne will not be getting hold of the source code for Java under an open-source license. But, as expected, Sun on Tuesday announced it is making other software available to the open-source community. This software includes Sun Java Studio Creator, Sun Java System Portal Server, Sun's Java Message System-based message queue and Web Services Interoperability Technology.
Also, as previously reported, Sun announced the Operating System Distributor's License for Java, which is designed to make it easier to bundle the desktop Java Runtime Environment with Linux. Developers of several Linux packages--including Ubuntu, Gentoo and Debian--are expected to include Java with their operating systems, Sun said.
Sun has increasingly embraced open source. Last year, the Santa Clara, Calif.-based company launched OpenSolaris, an open-source project for its Solaris operating system. In addition, it made a shift in its Java applications, scrapping an upfront license fee in favor of subscription-based pricing, common in open-source business models.

Sun has promised for years to open-source Java and has dangled this carrot over and over again. Some people just love to get Sun-burned. It is time to recognize that the boy who cried wolf is actually Sun promising to make Java open-source.

- Great
- Open Source will have all the features and by open sourcing Java this goal is even closer.
It is good for Open Source and for Java.

- So it's ok for everyone but Microsoft?
- Sun famously sued Microsoft for changing Java to run faster on Windows, but now wants to give everybody the ability to change Java?
Smells like desperation to me.....

- Desperation?
- Java is the #1 enterprise class language. The only possible contendor is Ruby and that will take years to happen.
MS has already changed Java, for the worse. J++ and C# come to mind. Both are weak shadows of Java, and crippled due to the fact that they are not platform independant and C# actually lets you do dangerous things, negating the point of managed code.

BAKER - In a battle for first place in the Greater Oregon League, Haley Freske came off the Mac-Hi bench in the top of the eighth inning Friday in the Pioneers doubleheader with Baker.
Freske connected to break a 5-5 tie and Collette Robert retired Baker in the bottom of the eighth as Mac-Hi claimed a 6-5 win and salvaged a split of the GOL twin bill.
Baker got home runs from Jessie Stephens and Abi Smith to pull out a 4-2 win in the opener.
In the night cap, the Bulldogs hit three more long balls as Stephens, DJ McCauley, and Taylor McAdams connected to lead Baker to a 5-4 lead after four.
Karli Cortez answered for the Pioneers in the top of the sixth. Cortez' long ball tied it at 5-5 and the teams exchanged goose eggs until Freske's game winner in the eighth.
"The second game was a real battle," Pioneer coach Nicole Christian said. "It was back and forth. We left a lot of runners on base in the first game. They were a great couple of games to watch."
Cortez led the Pioneer offense with three hits on the afternoon.
Baker and Mac-Hi, with the split, remain tied atop the GOL, both with 8-2 records with two GOL games left. The Pioneers host Ontario at 1 p.m. Saturday. Baker gets La Grande to close out the regular season campaign on Friday.

Santon steadilly stabs support[daily upgrades]
Welcome...Skip to end to view recent stuff at end...
otherwise...here's a little rambling...in case anyone gives a damn, which I don't expect anyone to.
First off... I feel old. I'm not old old... but I'm 32 and I just started(with serious intent) with the art and art school in Sept 07. I used to be a chemist, and I was working my PhD in intermetallic solid state chemistry but after 5 years of that, I decided that my thesis wasn't worth finishing and dropped out. Not that I'm trying to say how smart I am...trust me...the one thing you need more than anything else to get a PhD is the ability to get through mountains and mountains of boring crap, and I really didn't have the stomach for that. So I guess I wasn't really chemistry PhD material. Anyhow. I see people younger, older and with more experience and talent than I, and I wonder why the hell I'm doing this. Sometimes I felt like that in chemistry, but I didn't bother me the way it does now.
But I do miss the community. Anyways. Knowing that I could have been making art this whole time, instead of squandering it away wondering what the hell I was going to do with my life, has lead me to dedication I've never had before. The problem is getting over all my bad habits...the rushing(mostly)...missing the details. I don't want to make crap...I spent so long making crap, and I want it to stop. But it's habitual... anyhow...I'm trying to take my time, and when I find myself rushing I try to take a break instead of rushing a piece to ruin.
So far, the art thing is treating me well. I got my first real commission. Ok, so it's just for the school, but it was a juried thing and I won. Woo. I was paid to draw caricatures for a highschool aftergrad... Most of them turned out, there were a couple I wish I had taken back and started over again...but I'll remember that for next time. When I had a moment to look around I saw that aftergrad was just as lame as I remember it. I guess they call it a prom in other parts...
Well...I do a lot of drawing...and I've been painting a lot because I have a show at the end of September that I'm working towards...they won't be portraits...generally... oh well. Well...I've gone on...enjoy...

This is just the underpainting...blech

Haha your wood carving is tripping me out. Your stylized ink drawings are very appealing, but I think your oil painting needs a little more work. Overall, kudos to you! I'm glad you're pursuing the arts after chemistry haha

"This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy." -Douglas Adams

I'm working on a sculpture project that includes a metal box. I made the box, I'm pretty damned proud of it.
But what I'm amazed by is the texture I got with the patina. I love it. Here's some before and after pictures with a couple of close ups. There's some engraved text at the bottom that I did before the patina...it's really not visible unless you have a (very strong) light shining nearly parallel to the surface.

some sketchbook stuff.
I scanned the pencil part by itself because scanning pen with pencil makes either the pencil look like ass or the pen...on or t'other.

When true love conquers all, what is a djinn to do?
Johnny is a djinn, and he has a hard life. His master, Rahul, is a massive Bollywood star who's run off to England to avoid an arranged marriage, a marriage Johnny has to make happen. It's his job.
Rahul further complicates matters by falling for a British Bollywood fan, Laura, whom he meets at a film premiere. How can Johnny get his master back to Mumbai to marry the woman to whom he is pledged and away from the English hussy who is steadily taking more and more of his attention?
Johnny will use revenge and jealousy, but how will he cope when true love is thrown into the mix?
Reader Advisory: This book is best read in sequence as part of a series
Before we go any further, I should introduce myself. You can call me Johnny. It's not my name, but you can call me by it. I'm a Djinn and we don't give out our real names willy-nilly like you daft humans. We know the power of a name and are very cagey when it comes to introductions.
Occasionally, though, we get tricked, and that's what happened to me many moons ago, and now I look after a young human called Rahul. He's not the man who tricked me, that was his father's father's father's father's father or something like that. Some Djinns get let off easy with only a generation or two of service before a kind human wishes them free, but somehow I managed to get stuck with a family full of selfish bastards. I just get handed down from Khan to Khan and do their bidding. It's not a thrilling life.
I don't interfere in the affairs of mortals unless I am explicitly ordered to. Well, usually. It's not a hard and fast rule. If Rahul were to trip up and fall in the Ganges, for example, I'd leap to his rescue because he would be in mortal danger, no explicit order needed. I'm bound to the dark-haired, blue-eyed fool, and so I have to keep him alive and well until it's time for his natural demise.
Rahul doesn't mistreat me, he doesn't call on me at all hours to make him magic beverages or massage his calloused feet like his father did. I do very little for him, truth be told. He's asked me to grant him one wish in all his life so far, and that was to make him famous. So we hit Mumbai and he became an overnight Bollywood sensation.
He's a good-looking lad, for a human, with russet-toned skin and eyes that shine like hidden sapphires, and so he fell into the acting life with ease. I barely had to use any magical influence at all. I accompany him on set, but I tend to ignore the whole rigmarole myself. I prefer filling in the Mumbai Times crossword than watching the simpering girls dancing and the boy meets girl, loses girl, finds girl storylines of Bollywood.
Some of my relatives would kill for my glamorous life, but then they're trapped in bogs, deserts and wastelands. Some days I wish I was in a wasteland. Let me tell you the tale of when my Master went to London and the headache I had looking after him there. I'm a Djinn, we like to tell stories and moan. It's a little known fact.
* * * *
Rahul was just finishing up work on the latest Bollywood blockbuster, Benazir, which means Incomparable to all you English-speaking folks. I can't remember what it was about, but it was the typical Bollywood love story and I mostly ignored it during filming.
"Johnny," my master summoned me.
I put down my needlework—what, even Djinn need a hobby—and I did the impressive poof thing complete with smoke, lightning and glowing, red eyes.
"Oh, stop messing," he snapped. "This is important."
"Yes, Master." I bowed and changed into Rahul's preferred envisagement. I find it to be rather constricting to be in human form, but I have to do his bidding whether I want to or not.
"I've just spoken to Uncle Rajeesh, and he's spouting some nonsense about marriage."
"Well, you're getting on now, Rahul. You're in your late twenties. It's time you settled down."
Posted August 15, 2013
"I received this book as a review copy in return for an honest review"
Silver Screen Dream by Victoria Blisse
Victoria does it again. This was a wonderful love story bringing two people together
that would have never given each other the time of day. I loved this story! Rahul is a Bollywood actor who is being forced into an arranged marriage. He has a Djinn named Johnny that was forced to see him thru to this marriage. While in London at a movie premier Rahul meets a woman named Laura that is not usually his type. There is just something about her he can't get enough of. Johnny doesn't like the looks of this and is trying to keep them apart. Johnny can't fight fate or love when it comes to these two.

Kammala Street junction is full of traffic bottlenecks
KANCHEEPURAM: The Kammala Street junction continues to be full of traffic bottlenecks in spite of the one-way system implemented on the four `Raja Veedhis' in Kancheepuram town.
Picking up and dropping passengers by share-autorickshaws, mini-buses and State Transport Corporation buses near the junction have led to frequent hold-ups even though police constables have been posted at the junction of Kammala Street (popularly known as Chennai Road) and North Raja Veedhi (known as Senkazhuneerodai Veedhi) for almost 18 hours in a day to ensure a smooth flow of traffic.
Public carrier operators seldom respect the directions issued to them by police constables as they claim that vehicles are stopped near this junction in view of the public demand though they are supposed to halt their vehicles at the 'official' Kammala Street bus stop on the Chennai Road near Pachaivannar temple.
Further, vehicular traffic coming into and out of the town through this junction gets affected whenever heavy vehicles — both passenger or commercial vehicles — try to pass through this junction to reach the Chennai-Bangalore National Highway through Ponnerikarai.
These vehicles ply on the extreme right side of the carriageway (on Sengazhuneerodai Veedhi if they want to move out of the town or on the Chennai Road if they want to enter the town) so that the drivers could take left turn without much difficulty. Thus, other are forced to halt a few meters away from the junction for a few minutes and then resume their journey, sources said.

EvDTree: structure-dependent substitution profiles based on decision tree classification of 3D environments
Centre de Biochimie Structurale, Faculté de Pharmacie, Université Montpellier I, 15 avenue Charles Flahault, 34093 Montpellier Cedex 5, France
BMC Bioinformatics 2005, 6:4 doi:10.1186/1471-2105-6-4Published: 10 January 2005
Structure-dependent substitution matrices increase the accuracy of sequence alignments when the 3D structure of one sequence is known, and are successful e.g. in fold recognition. We propose a new automated method, EvDTree, based on a decision tree algorithm, for automatic derivation of amino acid substitution probabilities from a set of sequence-structure alignments. The main advantage over other approaches is an unbiased automatic selection of the most informative structural descriptors and associated values or thresholds. This feature allows automatic derivation of structure-dependent substitution scores for any specific set of structures, without the need to empirically determine best descriptors and parameters.
Decision trees for residue substitutions were constructed for each residue type from sequence-structure alignments extracted from the HOMSTRAD database. For each tree cluster, environment-dependent substitution profiles were derived. The resulting structure-dependent substitution scores were assessed using a criterion based on the mean ranking of observed substitution among all possible substitutions and in sequence-structure alignments. The automatically built EvDTree substitution scores provide significantly better results than conventional matrices and similar or slightly better results than other structure-dependent matrices. EvDTree has been applied to small disulfide-rich proteins as a test case to automatically derive specific substitutions scores providing better results than non-specific substitution scores. Analyses of the decision tree classifications provide useful information on the relative importance of different structural descriptors.
We propose a fully automatic method for the classification of structural environments and inference of structure-dependent substitution profiles. We show that this approach is more accurate than existing methods for various applications. The easy adaptation of EvDTree to any specific data set opens the way for class-specific structure-dependent substitution scores which can be used in threading-based remote homology searches.

The discount store celebrated its 40th anniversary Feb. 29.
While talk continues to circulate around town about the possibility of a supercenter being built in Eldon, the existing Walmart reached a milestone recently.The discount store celebrated its 40th anniversary Feb. 29."Forty years ago to this day, the city of Eldon and Walmart partnered together," store manager Tom Mills said during the 40th anniversary celebration, held at the store. "And to this day, it has been a success, not only for Walmart, but for the community of Eldon. So, thank you very much."The anniversary celebration was a community event. Students from Upper Elementary School led in the saying of the Pledge of Allegiance, the Eldon High School choir sang the National Anthem, and Mayor John Holland spoke on behalf of the city."Congratulations to Walmart and all the employees and what they mean for the community and the whole surrounding area," Holland said. "We can't stress how important you are to our community."A couple of days later, Walmart hosted the Eldon Area Chamber of Commerce's First Friday Coffee on March 2, where store manager Mills addressed the rumors about a supercenter."I know there was probably some concern about possibly a supercenter coming in, and I'm going to tell you what I know at this point," Mills said. "I think it was about three and a half weeks ago, there were possibly some land deals going on. My boss was actually in that day and I asked him if he knew anything. I finally got a hold of somebody and called the home office and this is what they told me. They said we are pursuing our options in Eldon. That's what they gave us. Walmart is very detailed and they're going to do some studies before they make an announcement. Because the worst thing you could do as an organization is say we're going to do this, and then pull the rug out."We had a company come in and do some ground samples … and there was a lot of surveying going on," Mills said. "Honestly, at this point, I really don't know a whole lot except that they are pursuing their options. I think it's very possible, but you know, it could be two or three years down the road. I can tell you this, if I get an opportunity I'm going to try and push and I'm going to try and give them my insight on what I think would be best for thecommunity."Mills has been manager of the Walmart store in Eldon for six years. He introduced other members of the management team at last week's 40th anniversary celebration."I am only one part of this store. When I'm not here, I know I have two solid people who will take over the store and treat you the same way I would," Mill said when introducing assistant managers Dan Hayes and Paul Gardner. "We have 60 years experience (with Walmart) between us. Dan, from day one, wrapped his arms around me when I came here, and Paul has been a great addition, too. Without these two guys, our store wouldn't be what it is today."Page 2 of 2 - The Eldon Walmart has a number of its approximately 90 employees who have worked at the store for 30 plus years."We have five of our 30-year associates here this morning, who started over 30 years ago," Mills said. "So at least 150 years of experience right here. And we also have a lot of 20-year associates, and 15."We did a calculation, and experience in our store, we have 694 years of experience among the Walmart associates," Mills said. "So that's pretty awesome."Kent Morris, Walmart market manager who supervises nine stores, including the one in Eldon, commended the employees for making the store a success."It's been an honor to work with this group of associates," Morris said."I just want to say thank you to the associates and Tom and your management team."The managers of the Walmart stores in Osage Beach and Versailles — Phil Hamilton and Deanna Mathews — attended the Eldon store's anniversary celebration, along with other members of the Walmart management team for the area, as well as representatives of the Eldon Chamber of Commerce, school district, city of Eldon and business community.It has been 40 years since the Walmart store opened in Eldon, but store manager Mills said the company's philosophy is still the same."Sam Walton (founder of Walmart) had lots of quotes. One that always stuck with me is the customer is the boss," Mills said. "Sam always believed the customer was the main focus and if we took care of the customer, the customers would take care of us. … The customers are the lifeline between Walmart and the community of Eldon."At the end of the celebration event, Mills led employees — and visitors — in a Walmart cheer.The chant ended with the question who's No. 1?"The customer, always," was the response.

One of the most famous recruiting legends is that of an assistant coach in the SEC who offered everything but the kitchen sink to a high school senior from Mississippi. Unable to broker a deal, and with an impending deadline approaching, the coach offered the only thing he had left to give---an arranged marriage with his nineteen year old daughter. The young running back politely declined.

Ex-cop admits role in Katrina shootings cover-up
NEW ORLEANS Lt. Michael Lohman knew police had a serious problem when he arrived at the scene of deadly shootings on a New Orleans bridge after Hurricane Katrina. Officers had shot and killed two people and wounded four others, but no guns were found on any of the victims.
Lohman, the ranking officer on the scene of the Danziger Bridge shootings, testified Tuesday that he didn't order officers to devise a cover story and wouldn't have objected if they had acknowledged wrongdoing. But instead of encouraging them to tell the truth, Lohman said he helped orchestrate a cover-up to make the shootings of unarmed residents on Sept. 4, 2005, appear justified.
"The guys who were involved in this were co-workers, and some of them were friends of mine. I didn't want anybody to get into trouble," Lohman testified on the second day of a federal trial of five other current or former officers.
Lohman retired last year and is one of five former officers who have pleaded guilty to participating in a cover-up. Now he is a key government witness in the case against Sgts. Robert Gisevius and Kenneth Bowen, Officer Anthony Villavaso, former officer Robert Faulcon and Sgt. Arthur Kaufman.
Feeling remorseful, Lohman said he decided in December 2009 to cooperate with the Justice Department's probe of the shootings.
"I feel pretty horrible about all of it, but most particularly about the people who were killed and wounded," he said. "They were people who didn't deserve what they got."
Lohman said the gunfire had stopped by the time he arrived. He testified that Bowen told him residents had fired at officers before they returned fire on the east side of bridge, where 17-year-old James Brissette was shot and killed.
Bowen also allegedly told Lohman that 40-year-old Ronald Madison, a mentally disabled man, was seen reaching into his waistband before he was shot on the west side of the bridge. No guns were recovered from Madison or Brissette, however.
"They seemed to be unsure of what actually happened," Lohman recalled. "There was too much uncertainty, and things didn't add up."
Lohman said he told the officers to calm down, "get their story together" and come back to tell him what happened, although he didn't expect them to tell the truth.
"Did you order them to make up a story?" prosecutor Bobbi Bernstein asked.
"No," he responded.
Lohman said he assigned Kaufman to investigate the shootings but knew the goal of the probe would be to justify the officers' actions, despite his misgivings.
"I felt things had gone wrong on the bridge that day and inappropriate actions had been taken," Lohman said.
Lohman said he and Kaufman discussed a plan to plant a gun. He said Kaufman assured him the planted gun couldn't be traced back to police or a crime scene. Prosecutors say Kaufman took a gun from his garage and turned it into the evidence room, trying to pass it off as a gun found at the scene.
Police didn't collect any shell casings or other evidence from the bridge, one of many gaps in the probe.
