This week, regulators detailed a number of Financial Stability Plan programs. Economic assessments will be conducted on the 19 largest financial institutions – those with $100 billion or more of assets. Capital in the form of mandatory convertible preferred securities will be made available to financial institutions identified through economic assessments, or upon approved applications, through the new Capital Assistance Program (CAP). Eligible institutions will be able to issue FDIC-guaranteed senior unsecured mandatory convertible debt under an extension of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's (FDIC) temporary liquidity guarantee program (TLGP).
Below we discuss each program. Many questions remain unanswered for financial institutions and market participants; additional information will become available as regulators begin the economic assessments and the programs move into the implementation phase.

|Media assistance M&E and democratization measurement characteristics in USAID program reporting documents
|Passey, Kristopher R.
media assistance

|University of Missouri--Columbia
|International media assistance, the endeavor to help emerging nations and developing countries build or develop media similar in nature and function to those in existing liberal democracies, has greatly expanded since the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. U.S. media assistance funders have linked media assistance to democratization efforts. This case study of USAID media assistance program reporting documents (n=68) looks at specific monitoring and evaluation characteristics as reported over a 20‐year period and how reporting documents make the link to democratization. The analysis found that although M&E activity has improved as reported over the 20‐year period of the study, 75 percent of the documents ranked in the lower half of cumulative M&E characteristics scoring. It also found that the relationship between democratization characteristics and media assistance are not clarified by the monitoring and evaluation data as reported. The study does show the USAID database to be a rich source of data about how media assistance programs have been implemented in different cultures, countries and political environments.

Cancer patient finds new life in crusade
Joan Wyllie's family support grows into a group to comfort others with the disease
The first eight doctors Joan Wyllie saw for her persistent intestinal distress told her she was fine.
The ninth doctor, a psychologist, suggested the pain in her stomach was really all in her head and prescribed the antidepressant Elavil.
The 10th doctor diagnosed stage 3C and 4 ovarian cancer. Wyllie was given a 50 percent chance of surviving the 7½-hour surgery needed to remove hundreds of tumors, many of which had metastasized.
Six months had elapsed from the time the Chula Vista Realtor first experienced severe bloating, constipation and tiredness to the day she was correctly diagnosed. That diagnosis came only after she insisted on laparoscopic surgery to find some answers.
What Wyllie also discovered that day was how little information and support is available to women with the disease.
"I found out the very minute I was diagnosed on Feb. 29, 2008, that people don't know about ovarian cancer," Wyllie said. "You are starving for information and starving to talk to someone else that has been there and done that and walked in your shoes.
"You will grasp at any straw. But it isn't out there like breast cancer."
This dearth of information propelled Wyllie, 65, into action. As she lay in the hospital recuperating from surgery, and underwent six grueling chemotherapy sessions, she began hatching plans for a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness and funds for ovarian cancer research.
With the help of her two daughters, daughter-in-law and five granddaughters, Nine Girls Ask? for a Cure for Ovarian Cancer was born. So was Wyllie's new life's work.
The unflagging energy she had always poured into her real estate business now was channeled toward Nine Girls Ask? She began speaking to local civic groups, and even when chemo made her desperately ill, she was trying to contact the "Oprah Winfrey Show" for some exposure.
Part of Wyllie's crusade included revisiting two of the nine doctors who had given her short shrift. One apologized. The other made excuses. Neither of them would put her informational brochures in their waiting and exam rooms.
Wyllie did get an audience with surgical and medical students. She was a participant on a panel of patients for the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance.
"They sat there with their mouths agape," she said of the students. "They couldn't believe our stories. We wanted to hit them before they develop bad habits."
Nine Girls Ask? held its first fundraiser last September, drawing 500 attendees and raised $42,000 for the UCSD Moores Cancer Center, where Wyllie received treatment. A golf tournament and other events have added to the funds. The second annual fundraising luncheon next month at the La Jolla Marriott, also to benefit the cancer center, is expected to attract more than 600 people.
"From my perspective, what she has accomplished is not the norm," said Pam Werner, director of development for UCSD Moores Cancer Center. "She is the epitome of energy and commitment and wanting to do it right.
"The result is she is raising a lot of money and making people aware of a disease that doesn't have the publicity or advocacy of breast cancer."

Hey Vaughan
Do different colours cost more than others?
Do different annodised colours effect strength or problems with part integrity?
Haha!! No problem to tell you the truth Im not a massive fan of huge amounts of crazy colours but thats just me!! I prefer the Titainium grey evey time!!
Gota ask though mate........ orange
To answer your other question, all anodising is the same as far as strength with colours, the annodise process is complicated but the colour is only the pretty bit! The hardness comes from the method tempretures of the acid tanks etc etc......
The colours dont cost extra if its a colour we do but as a 1 off it can add 100+ bucks depending on where you get it done. For us we get Gold, Black and Grey - sometimes a bit of blue and some red, BUT!!! we only do red on a special request and at the full responsability of the customer because to be honest its CRAP! Red annosise fades so bad when out in the sun, Red in general is the most UV unstable colour of the lot. Take a look at older red cars and Hondas the look pretty bad some of them!! We do injection moulding also and years ago when we used to mould a well know brand of handguards the red was alway the trickiest to get right.
Best option is to run a vote and we will annodise to the result??? Personally I reckon the Ti grey!!
Hope that helps mate! Im off to the beach

Google has announced a revamping of Google Maps and it is much more than a few changes. It is a reworking of the entire Google Maps interface from the group up, designed to make Maps more intuitive for users. Advertisements also have a new look.
Google has announced a revamping of Google Maps and it is much more than a few changes. It is a reworking of the entire Google Maps interface from the group up, designed to make Maps more intuitive for users.
One major change is users can now click on any area of a map, and Google will respond by showing you information about what is in the area that you could be interested in, such as restaurants, businesses, and hotels. This is designed to make it easy for visitors to see what is near a particular location, such as discovering what is located near a hotel when someone is visiting a city.
There is much more connection with Google+ and what they display on the map popups, meaning it is much more critical for businesses to make sure their Google+ page is active with correct information, including hours and photos, and user reviews of their business.
What businesses are displayed are also influenced by each user's Google+ network, highlighting specific businesses that Google+ connection have given positive reviews for. So that also makes it well worth it for businesses to promote their Google+ pages to engage users for more reviews, increasing the likelihood that their business shows up first for more people.
Google Maps search results are much more clearly added to the maps page.
For example, they included a screenshot highlighting a user searching for an Italian restaurant, it not only displays the first result as an overlay on the map, it also shows all related Italian restaurants in the area with restaurant names and short blurbs about each one.
They have also redesigned how advertisements are placed on Google Maps. Formerly, different colored pins on the map represented paid advertising versus non-paid, however, engagement wasn't that high as many users didn't understand what the different colors meant. Now, short snippets of ads are placed directly onto the map itself with the business name, alerting users to an advertisement or special deal for that business.
The new style of ads are in the testing phase and advertisers aren't being charged for ad clicks at this time. However, this ad style is for desktop only, not mobile.
The new version of Google Maps is by invite only. You can request an invite here.
On a related note, Google announced that Maps users will now be able to rate businesses on a scale of one to five stars, as opposed to the Zagat 30-point scale. Though Google noted Zagat reviews will still be available throughout Google.

10.10.07 - By Matthew Hurley: This Saturday night when Juan Diaz takes on Julio Diaz in a lightweight unification match up he will be without longtime trainer Ronnie Shields. Shields is already in Russia with Evander Holyfield, preparing the aging legend for his bout against World Boxing Organization heavyweight champion Sultan Ibragimov..
Diaz maintains that the situation is not causing him much concern despite the fact that Shields has been his head trainer for the majority of his career. Assistant trainer Derwin Richards has taken over for Shields and The Baby Bull seems pleased heading into Saturdays showdown. Still, fighters, like all athletes, have tremendous egos even if all fighters dont wear that ego like a badge of honor as say Floyd Mayweather does. An ego is necessary to simply climb into the ring. A fighter has to believe that hes not only good enough and tough enough to compete but that he can win.
Otherwise he will quickly be looking for another profession. And anyone with a big ego can easily feel slighted because an egocentric person believes, to some degree, that the world revolves around him.
A perfect recent example of this very situation is when Manny Pacquiao was getting ready to set up training camp for his fight with Jorge Solis. His trainer Freddie Roach notified Pacquiao that he would be traveling to Puerto Rico to train Oscar De La Hoya for his fight with Floyd Mayweather. Despite the fact that both fighter and trainer insisted that there was no rift between the two there have been lingering doubts as to that notion. Pacquiao performed below par against Solis and then drove Roach to distraction when the two regrouped to train for the rematch with Marco Antonio Barrera. Pacquiao even seemed to be ignoring Roach in the corner during the Barrera fight, laughing and gesturing to people in the audience while his befuddled trainer tried to get his attention. It almost looked like a petulant child seeing how much he could get away with under the eye of a strict parent. Things changed in the eleventh when Barrera fouled Pacquiao. In the corner between rounds the Pac Man focused on his trainer as he tried to clear his head, but his message to Roach had been sent and Roach, in turn, let Manny know that he would not be bullied. The two seem OK now, but the training camp building up to the Barrera fight was filled with tension.
And yet trainers need to make money too. Roach could obviously make way more money training De La Hoya then he could Pacquiao, and Pacquioa was fighting a lesser opponent. Still, hurt feelings were there and they lingered right up to the opening bell of the Barrera fight.
Ronnie Shields is in the same position Roach found himself in. He can make more money with Holyfield than he can with Diaz. And he, like the rest of us, needs the money. But will it cause a rift between fighter and trainer? There have been some rumblings that Shields may not return to the corner of Diaz. Or perhaps The Baby Bull will do exactly what Pacquiao did, act out and then calm down and get back to business. Regardless, Shields wont be in the corner this Saturday and that may prove to be a big factor in the fight.

I don't know how many of you saw today's Oprah show, and if you missed it, you missed a good one. By the way I don't usually watch Oprah, but I saw a promo on the local ABC station this morning. It had Oprah talking about her getting her first acupuncture treatment on her show. Well I had to see this and I even taped it. I know that when Oprah talks America listens and I just had to hear what she would say. Would she be enthusiastic or would she blow my profession, my love out of the water, here in America.
Well on her show she had about two needles inserted and remarked that she felt it but that it did not hurt. She then had a person from her audience get treated for chronic shoulder pain while the rest of the show was taped. She also had a Dr. Mehmet Oz, M.D. on who tried to explain how acupuncture works and I was gratified to see that he was positive about it.
The woman who was treated announced at the end of the show that her shoulder pain was gone.
For anyone who is interested here is a link to Oprah's web site where it talks about the acupuncture segment.

An Israeli court ruled that papers belonging to writer Franz Kafka, possibly including an unpublished manuscript, will be made public for the first time.
The papers, which also include correspondence between Kafka and his mentor Max Brod, have been the subject of a custody battle between the Hoffe family and Israel's National Library for the past two years. A Tel Aviv court ruled this week that the papers should be made public, with the exception of personal documents. In a separate ruling, the judges rejected a request for a gag order to suppress the publication.
Last week, the Tel Aviv District court ordered that deposit boxes containing the papers be opened for the first time in 40 years.
Kafka left the papers to Brod shortly before his death, who, contrary to Kafka's wishes, published what are now many of his most famous works. The rest Brod willed to his secretary, Esther Hoffe, who passed them down to her daughter Eva.
Eva and her sister, Ruth Wiesler, began selling off pieces of Brod's estate. They planned to sell the papers to the German Literary Archive in Marbach, until the Israel National Library demanded the rights to them.

The place for off-topic discussion
Tagged: mclaren f1, McLaren P1
This topic contains 48 replies, has 31 voices, and was last updated by Atticus 1 year, 5 months ago.
McLaren claim the P1 has lapped the Nurburgring Nordschleife in under seven minutes in Chris Goodwin's hands.
Here's a video with too much moody footage and atmospheric music and not enough white-knuckled onboard terror. Still pretty cool though:
Hopefully a full onboard video will follow…
Interesting. I wonder which layout they clocked under seven minutes. I looked up the lap times on Wikipedia and there is a whole lot of variation in timing. Make the Nordschleife loop alone under 6:11 and then we could talk about shattering the ultimate record. I believe this is the current one held by Stefan Bellof and his Porsche 956.
The convention is BTG (bridge to gantry) I understand. So a full lap of the Nordschleife minus a section of the pit straight. More info at bridgetogantry.com if you're into 'Ring stuff.
7 minutes is mighty impressive for a production road car – Bellof's lap, whilst incredible in it's own right, is not the fairest comparison since it was a full-blown fire-snorting race machine.
Got it, BTG was one of the more unusual things I learnt about timing on the Ring. However, it's not the pit straight that's involved, but the back straight on the actual Nordschleife (you might wanted to refer to that in which case we just misunderstood each other a bit). Thanks for the info. :)

Racism in U.S. an unrelenting truth
As we watch the situation in Ferguson, Mo., escalate in stunned horror, we can't help but reflect on race relations in this country. Again and again, I have found myself thinking, "I didn't think it was this bad." As a white teenager living in a small, mostly white community, I am forced to confront the […] [Read More]
Domestic terrorists more dangerous than jihadists
If we define terrorism as violent acts committed against innocent civilians to advance a political agenda, then all racist murders in the U.S. qualify as acts of terrorism "because the perpetrators commit the violent act to send a political message to minority communities," says C.J. Werleman in AlterNet. [Read More]
Why race still evokes paranoia in politics
The subject of race has "become the primal grievance in our politics, the source of a narrative of persecution each side uses to make sense of the world," says Jonathan Chait in New York magazine. Conservatives have become overly paranoid about being classified as racists by liberals looking "to delegitimize their core beliefs," while paranoia […] [Read More]
Don't call Obama critics racists

Happy holidays: the 'war on Christmas' is a fiction
The "war on Christmas" is as much a figment of the imagination as the belief in Santa Claus, says Charles Haynes of the First Amendment Project.

Seasoned, or white, male and over the hill?
If the sociopolitical and economic commentary at the nation's most prestigious newspapers and syndicates seems anachronistic, it's because the average opinion columnist at these publications is white, male and "old as hell," says Sarah Hedgecock, whose data research is displayed in a graphic on Gawker. But Steve Matrazzo of the Dundalk Eagle says that analysis […] [Read More]
Albany's racial injustice
Our opinion: Albany needs to take a fresh look at the lack of adequate diversity in its fire department.

But that doesn't resolve the […] [Read More]

After their last successful stint together in Wedding Album, Girish Karnad and Lillette Dubey are back with their latest collaboration Boiled Beans On Toast. Anyone who has read Karnad would know that his simple yet comprehensive style of writing has the ability to speak much in fewer words: An extension of the author's personality maybe? And Dubey needs no introduction when it comes to theatre and arts. She has already proved her acting skills in many movies – both Bollywood and Hollywood – as well. "Wedding Album has performed nearly 200 shows around the world to much critical and popular praise. I am sure this play too would have a very successful stint, hopefully more than out last venture together," Dubey says.
The play, the book
Karnad's new play, a contemporary Chekovian comic drama, examines various aspects of a changing India, through an examination of the several Indias that coexist in a city like Bangalore. Boiled Beans on Toast traces the interwoven lives of half-a-dozen people who have opted to live in the city of Bangalore. They are very different from each other, belonging to widely divergent social strata, and from widely separated geographical corners. Starting from under a single roof, these lives branch out in diverse directions, get entangled in the swirl of life outside where they lose track of themselves, separate or unexpectedly collide and careen off each other. "The city is Bangalore, but anyone familiar with life in a modern Indian megalopolis will instantly respond to this portrayal of urban aspirations, conflict, blind groping and violence," she says.
Odd characters
"I was supposed to start working on this play much earlier. Unfortunately, I got busy in other productions so we couldn't do it earlier," says Dubey who is only directing the play and not acting as "she has to travel a lot and it would be difficult for her to stay here." Already the play has 21 characters essayed by nine actors. Dubey says that with BBOT, Karnad moves into new space. "Till now his plays had mythology, legends and history in the background be it Yayati, Tughlaq or rakt Kalyan, but this is different. This new kind of space, however, has the same intelligence, satire and humour which Karnad's works genrally have," she adds.
Already a success
"The Marathi version, in which the play is based in Pune, opened last year and has already received much critical praise, and the English version will bring this wonderful script to a larger national and international audience," informs Dubey. A look at the hopes and aspirations, the attitudes and foibles, the strengths and weaknesses of a variety of people from different economic backgrounds, giving us a searing and endearing picture of life in a modern metropolis as seen under a microscope.
When and where: April 20 at Tata Theatre, NCPA from 7 pm onwards

Department is "very comfortable" with no increase in IT, official says
The Veterans Affairs Department has requested a 10.6 percent increase for fiscal 2012, while its IT is asking for a flat budget.
The department has asked for a $61.9 billion in gross discretionary funding for operational costs, while the department's IT budget is requested to be $3.16 billion, the same amount approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee for fiscal 2011 in December. That's $145 million less than the fiscal 2010 enacted level of $3.3 billion.
"We are very comfortable with this level of investment in IT," said W. Todd Grams, principal deputy assistant secretary for management, said on Feb. 14 in a call with reporters.
VA gets slight cut in IT budget
VA sets the telehealth table
"We have shorter milestones, and agile principles," Grams said. "PMAS is showing an 80 percent success rate."
One IT program that will increase dramatically is telehealth, in which mobile devices and instruments allow caregivers to provide care from remote locations. The VA, which already runs one of the largest telehealth programs in the world, wants to increase that funding by $63 million, which is a 76 percent increase, Grams said.
Due to improvements in IT programs, as well as in financial systems and other management systems, the VA in 2010 was able to eliminate three out of four longstanding material weaknesses cited on its balance sheet, Grams said. Those weaknesses involved financial systems functioning and compensation and pension liability estimates, he said.
Grams added that acquisition reforms at the VA account for $355 million savings in the proposed budget. Those savings will be achieved through greater use of reverse auctions, among other means, he told reporters.

In April 2009, Mutassim Gadhafi, Khamis' brother and Libya's National Security Advisor, held a private meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton upon his visit to the White House. With Mutassim at her side, Clinton told reporters at the time she was "very much looking forward" to broadening and strengthening the relationship between the two nations.
It was Clinton who said last week that after firing over a hundred missiles at Libyan government targets, the U.S. and its allies were handing over command of the no-fly zone over Libya to North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
"Gadhafi's troops have been pushed back, but they remain a serious threat to the safety of the Libyan people," she said.
ABC News' Kirit Radia contributed to this report.

Best Member Poems
After Li Po
While my hair was still cut straight
across my forehead
I played at the front gate, pulling
You came by on bamboo stilts, playing
You walked about my seat, playing with
blue plums.
And we went on living in the village of
Two small people, without dislike or
At fourteen I married My Lord you.
I never laughed, being bashful.
Lowering my head, I looked at the wall.
Called to, a thousand times, I never
looked back.
At fifteen I stopped scowling,
I desired my dust to be mingled with
Forever and forever and forever.
Why should I climb the lookout?
At sixteen you departed,
You went into far Ku-to-en, by the river
of swirling eddies,
And you have been gone five months.
The monkeys make sorrowful noise
You dragged your feet when you went
By the gate now, the moss is grown,
the different mosses,
Too deep to clear them away!
The leaves fall early this autumn, in
The paired butterflies are already
yellow with August
Over the grass in the West garden;
They hurt me. I grow older.
If you are coming down through the
narrows of the river Kiang,
Please let me know beforehand,
And I will come out to meet you
As far as Cho-fu-sa.
To Thushari Williams
Dear Thushie, the six months you spent with us
Will never be forgotten, the long days you laboured
In the care home, your care-worn comings home
To sit with Brenda Williams, po?te maudit sang pur,
Labouring together to bring to light poems buried alive
And turn them into a book, the living text
Proof enough of your divine gift as muse
And enchantress of both word and screen.
Now in far Indonesia you strive to strike a bargain
With an uncaring world, webmaster with magic fingertips
You engrave the words of us, careworn poets of our age,
In blue and scarlet on a canvas alabaster page.
Simulacrum more real than reality itself,
Should reality exist in cyberspace.
My Pr?vert, my Nerval, I never thought to see
So handsomely orthographed, like Li Po scrolled
In Chinese water by a blue pagoda.
Indeed if anyone could write in troubled water
It would be you, my dearest daughter.
Whether this world will grant you a living
Only time's indifference and your subtle craft will tell,
Artists like poets live on other's bounty, as you know so well.
Reading in Li Po
how "the peach blossom follows the water"
I keep thinking of you
because you were so much like
Chairman Mao,
naturally with the sex
and the figure slighter.
Loving you was a kind
of Chinese guerilla war.
Thanks to your lightfoot genius
no Eighth Route Army
kept its lines more fluid,
traveled with less baggage
so nibbled the advantage.
Even with your small bad heart
you made a dance of departures.
In the cold spring rains
when last you failed me
I had nothing left to spend
but a red crayon language
on the character of the enemy
to break appointments,
to fight us not
with his strength
but with his weakness,
to kill us
not with his health
but with his sickness.
Pet, spitfire, blue-eyed pony,
here is a new note
I want to pin on your door,
though I am ten years late
and you are nowhere:
Tell me,
are you stillmistress of the valley,
what trophies drift downriver,
why did you keep me waiting?
More great poems below...
My friend is lodging high in the Eastern Range,
Dearly loving the beauty of valleys and hills.
At green Spring he lies in the empty woods,
And is still asleep when the sun shines on igh.
A pine-tree wind dusts his sleeves and coat;
A peebly stream cleans his heart and ears.
I envy you, who far from strife and talk
Are high-propped on a pillow of blue cloud.
You ask how I spend my time--
I nestle against a treetrunk
and listen to autumn winds
in the pines all night and day.
Shantung wine can't get me drunk.
The local poets bore me.
My thoughts remain with you,
like the Wen River, endlessly flowing.
We climbed Yoyang Tower with
all the scene around coming
into vision; looking up the
Great River seeing boats turn
and enter the Tungting Lake; geese
crying farewell to the river
as they flew south; evening falling
as if mountain tops upt up the moon
with their lips; and we in the Yoyang
Tower as if with heads amongst
the cloud, drinking wine as if the cups
came from heaven itself; then
having drunk our fill there blew
a cold wind filling out our
sleeves, it seeming as though
we were dancing in time with it.
I take my wine jug out among the flowers
to drink alone, without friends.
I raise my cup to entice the moon.
That, and my shadow, makes us three.
But the moon doesn't drink,
and my shadow silently follows.
I will travel with moon and shadow,
happy to the end of spring.
When I sing, the moon dances.
When I dance, my shadow dances, too.
We share life's joys when sober.
Drunk, each goes a separate way.
Constant friends, although we wander,
we'll meet again in the Milky Way.
A bright moon rising above Tian Shan Mountain,
Lost in a vast ocean of clouds.
The long wind, across thousands upon thousands of miles,
Blows past the Jade-gate Pass.
The army of Han has gone down the Baiteng Road,
As the barbarian hordes probe at Qinghai Bay.
It is known that from the battlefield
Few ever live to return.
Men at Garrison look on the border scene,
Home thoughts deepen sorrow on their faces.
In the towered chambers tonight,
Ceaseless are the women's sighs.
On Marble Stairs
still grows the white dew
That has all night
soaked her silk slippers,
But she lets down
her crystal blind now
And sees through glaze
the moon of autumn.
"Bathed in fragrance,
do not brush your hat;
Washed in perfume,
do not shake your coat:
"Knowing the world
fears what is too pure,
The wisest man
prizes and stores light!"
By Bluewater
an old angler sat:
You and I together,
Let us go home.
When I was a boy I called the moon a
white plate of jade, sometimes it looked
like a great mirror hanging in the sky,
first came the two legs of the fairy
and the cassia tree, but for whom the rabbit
kept on pounding medical herbs, I
just could not guess. Now the moon is being
swallowed by the toad and the light
flickers out leaving darkness all around;
I hear that when nine of the burning suns out
of the ten were ordered to be shot down by
the Emperor Yao, all has since been quiet
and peaceful both for heaven and man,
but this eating up of the moon is for me
a truly ugly scene filling me with forebodings
wondering what will come out of it.
All the birds have flown up and gone;
A lonely cloud floats leisurely by.
We never tire of looking at each other -
Only the mountain and I.
Amongst the grandeur of Hua Shan
I climb to the Flower Peak,
and fancy I see fairies and immortals
carrying lotus in their
sacred white hands, robes flowing
they fly filling the sky with colour
as they rise to the palace of heaven,
inviting me to go to the cloud stage
and see Wei Shu-ching, guardian angel
of Hua Shan; so dreamily I go with them
riding to the sky on the back
of wild geese which call as they fly,
but when we look below at Loyang,
not so clear because of the mist,
everywhere could be seen looting
armies, which took Loyang, creating
chaos and madness with blood
flowing everywhere; like animals of prey
rebel army men made into officials
with caps and robes to match.
The moon shimmers in green water.
White herons fly through the moonlight.
The young man hears a girl gathering water-chestnuts:
into the night, singing, they paddle home together.
I met Tu Fu on a mountaintop
in August when the sun was hot.
Under the shade of his big straw hat
his face was sad--
in the years since we last parted,
he'd grown wan, exhausted.
Poor old Tu Fu, I thought then,
he must be agonizing over poetry again.
Phoenixes that play here once, so that the place was named for them,
Have abandoned it now to this desolated river;
The paths of Wu Palace are crooked with weeds;
The garments of Chin are ancient dust.
...Like this green horizon halving the Three Peaks,
Like this Island of White Egrets dividing the river,
A cloud has risen between the Light of Heaven and me,
To hide his city from my melancholy heart.
The old gardens of Kusu Terrace
are a wilderness, yet the willows
that remain still put out new branches;
lasses gathering water chestnuts
sing so loudly and with such
clarity, that the feeling of spring
returns to us; but where once stood
the palace of the King of Wu, now
only the moon over the
west river once shone on
the lovely ladies there.
Chang-an -- one slip of moon;
in ten thousand houses, the sound of fulling mallets.
Autumn winds keep on blowing,
all things make me think of Jade Pass!
When will they put down the barbarians
and my good man come home from his far campaign?
I was about to sail away in a junk,
When suddenly I heard
The sound of stamping and singing on the bank—
It was you and your friends come to bid me farewell.
The Peach Flower Lake is a thousand fathoms deep,
But it cannot compare, O Wang Lun,
With the depth of your love for me.
I came here a wanderer
thinking of home,
remembering my far away Ch'ang-an.
And then, from deep in Yellow Crane Pavillion,
I heard a beautiful bamboo flute
play "Falling Plum Blossoms."
It was late spring in a city by the river.
Dew whitens the jade stairs.
This late, it soaks her gauze stockings.
She lowers her crystal blind to watch
the breaking, glass-clear moon of autumn.
I took a small path leading
up a hill valley, finding there
a temple, its gate covered
with moss, and in front of
the door but tracks of birds;
in the room of the old monk
no one was living, and I
staring through the window
saw but a hair duster hanging
on the wall, itself covered
with dust; emptily I sighed
thinking to go, but then
turning back several times,
seeing how the mist on
the hills was flying, and then
a light rain fell as if it
were flowers falling from
the sky, making a music of
its own; away in the distance
came the cry of a monkey, and
for me the cares of the world
slipped away, and I was filled
with the beauty around me.
Amongst bubbling streams
a dog barks; peach blossom
is heavy with dew; here
and there a deer can
be seen in forest glades!
No sound of the mid-day
bell enters this fastness
where blue mist rises
from bamboo groves;
down from a high peak
hangs a waterfall;
non knows where he has gone, so sadly I rest,
with my back leaning
against a pine.
Drunk on Dragon Hill tonight,
the banished immortal, Great White,
turns among yellow flowers,
his smile wide,
as his hat sails away on the wind
and he dances away in the moonlight.
Chuang Tzu in dream became a butterfly,
And the butterfly became Chuang Tzu at waking.
Which was the real—the butterfly or the man ?
Who can tell the end of the endless changes of things?
The water that flows into the depth of the distant sea
Returns anon to the shallows of a transparent stream.
The man, raising melons outside the green gate of the city,
Was once the Prince of the East Hill.
So must rank and riches vanish.
You know it, still you toil and toil,—what for?

The green groups' dilemma: How to save the environment without harming agriculture
At the Ein Bokek Nature Reserve in the Dead Sea area, water that has become saline due to pollution will soon be piped out of the reserve though a new pipeline, desalinated and then returned. The Ayun Stream near the northern border, dry most of the year because its water is siphoned off by farmers in Lebanon, will also get more water, by pipeline from the nearby Dan Stream.
These two examples show an attempt to improve the flow of water to nature. But they also reveal the sorry state of many of Israel's springs and streams. Only a remnant of the water that once flowed through them still does; most has been diverted for household or agricultural use, and parts are polluted.
About a year ago, the Knesset passed the Water Law, which recognizes the right of nature as a water consumer, along with households, farmers and industry. However, the amount and quality of water allocated to nature still depends on the amount the Water Authority allocates to various sectors of the economy. While farmers now pay the real cost of producing the water, this will not significantly reduce the amount they use.
According to Nissim Keshet, of the Israel Nature and Parks Authority (INPA), it is not enough merely to allocate water to nature, because farmers living close to pumping sites demand more water, especially in a drought year when there are cuts, he says.
Currently, the INPA cuts the amount of water to nature during a drought, and increases the amount of purified sewage to it, but this is not enough to rehabilitate ecological systems. The INPA wants new agreements that would allocate water by permit. That would mean that even in a drought, cuts will be relative to both agriculture and nature, and one will not suffer at the expense of the other.
One clause in the Water Law that helps nature is to charge almost nothing for water to agriculture pumped from downstream rather than at the source, so flora and fauna will have a chance to enjoy the water before it goes for other uses.
Some experts say that change must go deeper, with high-quality water supplied to nature even at the expense of agriculture. Zach Tagar of the Middle East branch of Friends of the Earth, has written that the current cost of water is low considering Israel is a water-poor country, and does not reflect damage to nature when it is withheld.
Environmental science expert Professor Hillel Shuval of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, says that in a way, Israel exports water when it exports irrigated agricultural products. Shuval notes that farming, which is three percent of the Gross Domestic Product and three percent of the labor force, still uses 40 percent of the high-quality water. If the public were asked, he says, it is hard to believe they would support channeling water to Europe rather than to nature in Israel, he adds.
Water planner Giora Shaham warns that while hothouse plants for export would weather the such a policy, less profitable open cultivated fields will suffer. Orange groves on the coastal plain, field crops in the Jezreel Valley and fish ponds, are part of the landscape, he says, whose disappearance will constitute damage to the environment.
Shaham advocates desalination facilities serving the big cities to meet most household needs, channeling the rest of the water to agriculture and nature, and setting a price for farmers in each region.
Keshet points out that agriculture uses purified sewage, and is essential for this reason. "We want agriculture to use purified sewage and to channel fresh water to nature," he explains.
Shuval and Tagar say they recognize the importance of agriculture to the landscape, the soil, and the economy of outlying regions. They support subsidies to farmers but argue that they should be for cultivation, not for water, thus encouraging water efficiency.
"We prefer reaching understandings rather than a fight with the farmers and the Water Authority," Keshet says. The Water Authority says nature needs its own desalination facility, which would mean a supply of 50 million cubic meters, like a major facility. We want to ensure this, but things are moving too slowly for us," he says.

Niras Bankoc Cultural HostelBangkok, Thailand
Nice hostel, great location to see the main sites, but pretty far off the sky train. They did make a mistake and put me in a mixed dorm, instead of female. The staff was really friendly and I'm sure they could have fixed it, but I ended up hitting it off with some of the people in my dorm, so it turned out great!
The Mad MonkeyPhnom Penh, Cambodia
The Mad Monkey was the best hostel I stayed at my entire visit. Great atmosphere! It was really easy to meet people and the hostel staff was amazing. In the morning, they helped organize tours to the Killing Fields and S-21, so that I didn't have to hire my own tuk tuk.
Rosy Guest HouseSiem Reap, Cambodia
Decent hostel, but don't buy the cheapest rooms. There isn't any AC in the single rooms, which is miserable with Siem Reap temperatures. The staff, however, was decently friendly. Definitely a better hostel for ex-pats and couples, not really big with the back packers. Still, nice place.

March saw the annual migration of B.C.-based mining companies to Toronto for the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) conference and trade show, the world's leading mining convention.
The event, now in its 81st year, attracts people involved in mineral exploration from more than 120 countries. Every year the event has grown: 22,000 people attended in 2010; 28,000 people attended in 2011 and more than 30,000 in 2012 and 2013.
As one of this year's attendees, I asked delegates what brought them to the convention, as well as what the highlights of this year's event were for them. W. John DeCooman, vice-president, business development and strategy, at Silver Standard Resources Inc., summed up the main appeal for delegates.
"PDAC has transformed over the past 20 years into a pilgrimage for mining disciples. The mining industry is fortunate to have a comprehensive and inclusive event due to dedicated sponsors, professionals and volunteers. PDAC is a non-stop, multi-dimensional event that draws interest from every continent and every discipline."

The Derry Destroyer John Duddy returns home this summer to show Irish fight fans just what theyve been missing during his impressive four year stint in the Big Apple. Duddy will return to the National Stadium, Dublin the scene of many of his amateur triumphs, on Saturday, 14th of July in his first ever professional fight in Ireland. Billed as The Homecoming the event will be promoted by Brian Peters Promotions in association with Irish Ropes.
Since leaving behind the amateur ranks in 2003 Duddy has blossomed in to New Yorks biggest boxing star racking up 20 straight wins during his time Stateside.
A mouth watering World title clash with middleweight champ Jermain Taylor is on the cards but first Duddy wants to make his mark on this side of the Atlantic and he reckons Irish fight fans wont recognize him!
Theyll see the new John Duddy on July 14th, promised the 27-year-old. The guy who shows up will be a lot different to the guy who fought in the National Stadium as an amateur. Its going to be explosive and action packed and there wont be any need for seats there because the crowd will be on their feet!
Duddys promise is no idle boast the charismatic Derryman has become the hottest ticket in New York, with his action packed fights selling out Madison Square Garden. Duddy is also keen to point out to his loyal New York fanbase that they have not seen the last of him.
This is the right time to come home and fulfill a dream of mine by fighting as a pro in Ireland but Ill be back in New York next week to start training for this fight and Im sure it wont be too long before Im fighting there again too. Im not saying goodbye to New York, just see you later.
Ive learned so much in the four years Ive been away and I cant wait to show everyone back home what Im capable of. Irish boxing is on a real high right now, Bernard Dunne has lifted the sport back home and the likes of Bernard, Steve Collins and Wayne McCullough have been an inspiration to me. They all served their apprenticeship in America and it convinced me that I needed to do the same.
The McLoughlin Brothers and Irish Ropes have backed me from day one out there and now its great to be able to go home and show people how far Ive come. Im under no illusions that I still have a way to go but Im getting there with each and every fight and Im enjoying every minute of it at the moment.
Recent talk of a world title fight with Jermain Taylor is refusing to distract Duddy. Thats something my team are looking at and we will weigh up all our options when and if that time comes but for the moment Im just taking my career fight by fight.
Promoter Brian Peters is delighted to showcase Duddy. What John has done in the States has been terrific but to have him fight back home is a real boost for Irish boxing and proof that we are witnessing a great era for the sport in Ireland.
This summer alone will see John, Bernard Dunne and Wayne McCullough in action in Dublin. Bernard defends his European title at the Point on June 23rd with Wayne on the undercard and then John headlines at the Stadium in July so there is an exciting few months ahead or Irish boxing.
Duddy wont be short of support on July 14th with fellow Derryman Paul McCloskey headlining the supporting cast. The Dungiven light welterweight is unbeaten in 10 professional outings and he looks set for the first big test of his career on the July 14th card.
McCloskeys opponent will be confirmed in the coming weeks. Also in action at the National Stadium will be Belfasts Kevin OHara, Mayo heavyweight Declan Timlin and unbeaten super bantamweight Eugene Heagney.
Tickets for the event priced from 50 will go on sale at 9am tomorrow morning (Wednesday, May 30th) from Ticketmaster.ie, and all usual outlets.

American Society for Cybernetics 2012 Joint Conference with the Bateson Idea Group in Asilomar, CA
The American Society for Cybernetics (ASC), an organization promoting interdisciplinary discourse, and the Bateson Idea Group (BiG), a group of individuals interested in developing the ideas started by the anthropologist Gregory Bateson, will host a joint conference. The conference theme "An Ecology of Ideas" refers to the hosting organizations´ shared interest in bringing together thinkers from a broad range of fields in the "hard" sciences and social sciences, art, design, mathematics, politics and other areas of human action to explore the relations among ideas as seen from multiple perspectives. It also reflects the title of Bateson´s seminal collection of papers, "Steps to an Ecology of Mind".
(PRWEB) July 01, 2012
The joint ASC/BiG conference, with its showing of Nora Bateson's prize winning film about her father Gregory Bateson; the many plenary lectures by leading Batesonians and others; the experimental cybernetic performances that the ASC has a history of encouraging over the years; and the anticipated intense discussions and presentations of ground breaking research and thinking by many leading academics and practitioners will offer a selection of media-worthy activities with wide audience appeal. The full program of events can be found on the conference website: http://asc-cybernetics.org/2012/?page_id=26
