Two detailed reports have thrown serious doubt on whether Iraq had any nuclear, chemical or biological weapons, or even the means to make them, at the time when the US cited this as its major reason for going to war.
The first report was released on Thursday by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a think-tank in Washington DC. It cites intelligence information and material uncovered by weapons inspectors to conclude that while Iraq still wanted such weapons, it did not have any, or any means to produce them, in 2002. The one exception was continuing illicit work on long-range missiles.
The second report, in the Washington Post, cites new documentary evidence and testimony from Iraqi scientists showing the same thing. However, this evidence also indicates that Saddam Hussein decided not to prove Iraq's lack of weapons of mass destruction to inspectors, as the UN demanded.
The Carnegie report concludes that intelligence showed the threat lay not in actual WMD, but in Iraq's determination to acquire them and demonstrated willingness to use them. This danger "could not be allowed to fester unaddressed", they conclude, but "the choice was never between war and doing nothing".
An unprecedently intrusive and well-funded search by the US since the fall of Baghdad has found little more than UN inspectors did before the war. The Carnegie report says continued "coercive" UN inspections, a tactic it has long advocated, would have eventually verified this without war (New Scientist, 18 September 2002)
Unauthorised interviews
Wednesday's Washington Post report, by Barton Gellman, included "unauthorised" interviews with inspectors from the Iraq Survey Group, the US team charged with finding Saddam's WMD. These revealed that Iraq's pre-1991 WMD stockpile, and its ability to make any, had disintegrated during years of UN inspections and sanctions.
The exception was long-range missiles forbidden by the UN. Modher Tamimi, Saddam's chief missile engineer, told Gellman he concealed designs for missiles that could hit Tel Aviv or Riyadh from UN inspectors. Outside experts said Tamimi's efforts were impressive, based as they were on antiquated Russian rocketry texts, but added that the designs probably would not have worked.
Other sources told the Post that the head of Iraq's bioweapons programme, Rihab Taba, told US interrogators that Iraq had no access to smallpox, while camelpox research ended at the onset of war in 1990 after only 45 days. Western scientists, who used antibody-based detector kits to search Iraqi labs for weapons-capable pathogens, told the Post they found nothing.
Hit list
Yet the Post's investigation also revealed that Saddam could have done much more to prove to UN inspectors in 2003 that he had destroyed his weapons.
Gellman uncovered a list, written for Saddam in 1995 after the defection of Saddam's son-in-law, Hussein Kamel. It detailed every aspect of illicit weapons production that the Iraqis feared Kamel would tell the UN. It holds no surprises: the UN eventually found and destroyed everything on the list.
If Saddam had given that list to UN inspectors in 2003, it would have gone a long way towards proving he no longer had weapons the inspectors were searching for. But, perhaps unwilling to admit weakness, he did not.

This is unarguably the biggest coup yet for the energetic and purposive Argyll and the isles Tourism Cooperative Ltd.
CEO Mike Story, a sleepless strategist and campaigner for the area, has attracted a key tourism conference to Argyll for October this year – and it could not be a greater or more fitting opportunity for this crucial business sector in Argyll.
More than that, the format of the event will set your socks on fire with its energy, fun and complex impact on the buyers.
Argyll and the Isles will host the Scottish Destination Management Association [SDMA] conference in Argyll on 21st October.
The SDMA membership, listed here, is of the specialist custom tour operators, the tailor-made buyers of specialist activity, special interest oportunities, unique accommodation offers – and compelling possibilities for corporate away days and events.
The demographic target of their businesses fits the Argyll and the Isles market perfectly.
Calum Ross, Co-Chairman [with Connie Lovell from Mount Stuart] of Argyll & the Isles Tourism Cooperative [AITC] says: 'Argyll and the Isles Tourism are delighted to host this important conference.
'The companies involved with the SDMA are important to us, not only do they bring customers to our area, but through their own marketing they help promote Argyll and the Isles all over the world.'
The event will be held at the spectacular Loch Melfort Hotel, brooding over an unforgettable seascape and with Arduaine Garden literally on its doorstep. That can only be a great place to pitch from.
Now look at the format of the event.
Speed dating.
Mike Story, Executive Director of Argyll and the Isles Tourism explains: 'We figured that the best way to get a range of key messages and products over to these guys would be to hold a speed dating session.
'That way instead of having someone talk at them all day, a team of representatives from all over Argyll and the Isles can sit down opposite the team from the SDMA and pitch them what each area has to offer.
'When the bell rings they move on to the next person and so, so each of the pitchers gets an uninterrupted session with one of the buyers.'
The AITC will have at the conference, representatives from the local area marketing groups and from each of the six sectors where AITC feels – on good evidence 0 Argyll has an outstanding offer to make; Marine Tourism; Wildlife – sea, air and land ; Outdoors – golf, guided walks, activities, camping, sea trips, air trips; Art, Culture and Heritage – with castles, music, arts and crafts – and the birthplace of Scotland; Food & Drink – seafood, venison, lamb, ales; Whisky & Distilleries – a clear specialism.
What we're seeing here is an opportunity for each area and each sector in Argyll to get a high impact opportunity to sell what they have to offer – while every one of them contributes to selling Argyll as a whole to these centrally appropriate industry buyers.
Imagine you're one of the SDMA member companies, getting a fast moving series of people offering you , time after time, unique, gold nugget opportunities in the blink of an eye:
- sea kayaking in Bute and Oban;
- sailing in Tighnabruaich, Loch Craignish and the Gare Loch;
- golf at Machrihanish, Loch Lomond and Helensburgh;
- coasteering on Islay and north Argyll;
- diving at Dunoon, Mull and Oban;
- guided walks across Argyll – and guided bird walks in Islay;
- whisky tours;
- sea angling off Islay and Jura;
- corporate seductions at Mount Stuart, Inveraray Castle, Ardkinglas, the Isle of Eriska, Portavadie…
- deer stalking on Jura;
- surfing at Westport in Kintyre, wind surfng / board sailing on Tiree
- bird watching, lighthouse visiting
- marine wild life tours from Mull, Islay, Oban, Ardfern, Crinan and more;
- thrills and spills to the Corryvreckan and the Grey Dogs from Easdale, Ardfern and Crinan;
- specialist gardens in Cowal, Mid Argyll adn the Rosneath penisnsula
- round Colonsay RIB tours;
- air trips to Tiree, Coll, Colonsay and Islay;
- half marathons in locations so scenic you don't feel the pain;
- music festivals of all kinds in all places;
- seaplane flights;
- boat charters out of Campbeltown, Oban,
- scenic road trips, through geologically and historically rich places – anywhee, mainland and islands;
- specialist eating and dining delights;
- cycling opportunities of all kinds on Islay;
- nature reserves
- therapies and pampering…
And we could all go on all day in adding to this.
By the time the evangelical sellers of opportunities, activities and hospitality in Argyll have finished with them, the SDMA members might well begin to wonder if they need to look at anywhere else.
They don't.
Argyll and the Isles Tourism has made this opportunity possible. Now the local marketing groups and the representaties of each of the six sectors has until October to get bright-eyed, bushy tailed and ready to deliver the sharpest, most compelling pitches [timed to the second].
Paul Graham, Chair of Argyll and the Isles Strategic Tourism Partnership [which embraces the local marketing groups, the public sector bodies involved in tourism and some of the key players in the sector' says about the conference: 'This has been a major coup for us to attract the conference and AGM of such an influential group.
'Many of us already work with some of the operators and representatives of our Direct Marketing Organisations will be attending on the day to 'speed date' the delegates.
'This is a fantastic opportunity to be able to engage with them on a one to one basis. This will also put Argyll & The Isles on their literature for 2014 and beyond. Good times ahead. Thanks to the directors of AITC, Mike Story & Carron Tobin for making this happen.
'As Chair of Argyll & The Isles Strategic Tourism Partnership I was delighted to hear of the 'trunking' of the A83 all the way to Campbeltown.
'This sends the message that Argyll & The Isles is upping its game and becoming recognised as a world class destination for tourism. With the road being adopted into the Scottish Government remit, this will safeguard the future of the fabric of the route and we will benefit from better quality of road infrastructure.'
And that will be music to the ears of a lot of specialist tailor-made operators visiting in October. Argyll beong the massive and spectacular territory it is, you cannot get away from the roads – and the better they are, the better Argyll will do.

Harare — Zimbabwe's troubled shoe manufacturing sector has recovered its domestic market share in the past year mainly because of the depreciation of the local currency, First Merchant Bank of Zimbabwe (FMB) said in its latest quarterly review of the country's economy.
The liberalisation of the economy in 1991 resulted in an influx of cheap shoe imports into the country which caused the closure of some footwear manufacturing companies. But analysts say the depreciation of the Zimbabwe dollar, which has lost 134 percent of its value to the American greenback since 1997, has played a part in the industry's recovery.
The depreciation of the local dollar had led to a significant increase in the cost of importing footwear, resulting in a decline of imports during 1999. This enabled the local footwear industry to fill in the resultant gap.
"The footwear industry has suffered a number of casualties in recent years as subsidised footwear imports at prices that were frequently below local production costs affected the competitiveness of many shoe factories," the FMB said in a report for the quarter ending in September.
"Most came under severe pressure to increase productivity and efficiency to remain competitive. More recently, the exchange rate changes in 1997 and 1998 added so significantly to import costs that the local firms were able to recover a large part of their former domestic market share."
The report said the local footwear manufacturing industry had also been able to increase its exports in the past year, though it did not give an expansion figures in both cases.
However, Zimbabwe's harsh macroeconomic climate has continued to have a negative effect on the industry, with producer costs estimated to have risen by about 65,8 percent in the 12 months to June 1999.
The industry has also seen sharp increases in its wage bill in the past two years because of the country's high inflation, which has eroded workers' buying power and forced them to demand higher cost of living adjustments. Zimbabwe's annualised inflation soared to a new record high of 70,4 percent in October, up from 69,7 percent in September, with debilitating effects on both local companies and workers.
Because of the high operating costs, the industry has had to hike shoe prices, which increased by an average 5,4 percent a month from May to August this year.
"However, over a more extended period, average price increases have been sustained at figures well below the average for all consumer goods," the FMB report said, noting that price increases of consumer goods were 55 percent in the first seven months of this year.

Yes, I am a member. No, I am not a member yet.
Rani Durgavati Vishwavidyalaya, formerly University of Jabalpur, enjoys the 'Accredited' status and has been graded as 'B++' by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), Bangalore on 12.11.2002. This grading is based on the institutional score between 80-85% awarded by the Peer Team of the NAAC and approved by its Executive Council and is valid for five academic years i.e. upto 2006-2007. The grading evidences the academic excellence and places the University among the best in central India. The University fraternity i.e students, teachers and employees have worked to earn this reputation and we are proud of it. The University was constituted and established on 12th June, 1956 under the Jabalpur University Act, 1956 (Act No.22 of 1956) with territorial jurisdiction over Jabalpur revenue district, and shifted to its present location at Saraswati Vihar, Pachpedi, Jabalpur in 1961. Its present campus is spread over 99.63 acres of scenic beauty and environment friendly surroundings and accommodates an Administrative Block, Art Faculty building, Teaching and Research buildings of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Bio-Science, System Science and Physical education departments. It also has a Central Library, Computer Center, USIC, University Institute of Management, University Law Department and also other facilities like boys and girls hostels-one each, University Health Center, University Guest House, Canteen and residential quarters. Other facilities like Post Office, Bank and Printing Press also exist within the campus. It is, therefore, possible to say that the university campus is a city within the City of Jabalpur. The Academic Staff College of the University is one of the best in the country. It has so far conducted 63 orientation courses and 180 refresher courses in various subjects. Over 7300 teachers have been benefited by these courses. It has also organised an ASC Directors' meet in the year 2001 which was chaired by the then UGC Chairman Dr. Hari Gautam. It has recently moved into its own building constructed with UGC's assistance. In the field of distance education also, this University is making rapid strides. Nine study centres have already been established and many more are coming in near future. The University was renamed as Rani Durgavati Vishwavidyalaya on 7.6.1983 by Act No. 23 of 1983 to honour the well known valorous Gond Queen of Garha Mandla. It was reconstituted under M.P. Vishwavidyalaya Adhiniyam, 1973 and given jurisdiction over Jabalpur, Mandla, Seoni, Balaghat and Narsinghpur districts in 1995 by Act No. 28 of 1995. With the formation of Katni and Dindori as separate revenue districts, the number of revenue districts under the University have increased to seven. Its activities now spread over an area of 46556 sq. km. having a population of 8.27 millions according to 2001 Census. The area is mostly rural & tribal consisting of 76% of its population. The literacy rate in the area is only 51.6% Population of SC/ST members is 14%. Of seven revenue districts, Mandla and Dindori are, in the main, tribal districts.

I am perplexed and confounded, year after year, by the limited knowledge most Macintosh users have of the basics of their computers' operation. From my first day with a Mac, I read the manuals and purchased supplementary "bibles." In chronological order, I plowed through Encyclopedia Macintosh, then The Mac Almanac, several editions each of Mac Secrets and The Macintosh Bible, plus additional heavyweight tomes. They're all still here, on my bulging bookshelf, awaiting my next summons.

At 7.7 miles, it takes about 12 minutes to make the drive between the Mid-South Fairgrounds and Graceland.
However, the political fortunes of each couldn't be more different.
A financing plan for a long-delayed expansion of the Graceland campus to develop all 120 acres owned by Elvis Presley Enterprises and amassed since the mid-1990s cleared the Shelby County Commission this week and the Memphis City Council a week before.

The Orpheum Theatre Memphis frequently plays host to musicals, but an arrival next week will bring something the theater doesn't get to put on its stage often – a Broadway play.
"War Horse," a play that inspired a Steven Spielberg movie of the same name, will premiere at The Orpheum March 25. It's the story about a character named Albert and his horse Joey, the latter of which has been tapped to fight for the English during World War I.
In 2008, Memphis-based Makowsky Ringel Greenberg LLC developed The Shops of Angelos Grove retail center in Marion, Ark.
2012: Case Management, a provider of outpatient case management services for the mentally ill, bought the four-story, circa-1973 airport area office building at 3171 Directors Row for $1.3 million from Directors Memphis LLC, a company based in Tacoma, Wash.
DeAndre Brown runs what might be the best known landscape business in areas of Memphis where the yards have brush and trees taller than the vacant houses they completely obscure.
"We operate a little differently than other contractors. Most have subcontractors that work separately," he said. "We are one large crew of 60 men or women. We get the heavy equipment in first. Then a team of weed eaters will go in behind that, then a team of people go in behind them and clean up."
A 3-square-mile Tourism Development Zone would finance a $233 million renovation of the Mid-South Fairgrounds sought by the administration of Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr.
The city sent its 88-page application Sept. 13 to Tennessee Finance Commissioner Larry B. Martin.

It was the last major issue for the Memphis City Council that left office at the end of 2007.
Its members passed a city ordinance on the first of three readings that would regulate strip clubs and other sexually oriented businesses. And then the council delayed the measure until the newly elected council, with nine new members, took office in January.

Mud Island residents could be going in circles by early May, as Dixieland Contractors continues building the $750,000 Mud Island roundabout at the intersection of Auction Street and Island Drive.
A roundabout is a type of road junction in which traffic travels in a circle around a central point. Drivers entering a roundabout have to yield to traffic that's already within the loop. The Mud Island Roundabout will be 120 feet in diameter and have two lanes circling a landscaped, two-tiered center.
Traveling U.S. Highway 64 east into Fayette County is a little like pulling back a veil that separates the headaches of Memphis from a vast, largely untapped rural utopia.
Sights along the way into Fayette include a few modest homes, set back comfortably from the street. Cows and horses roam the wide green expanse. About the only thing breaking up the country scenery are signs posted here and there that announce future real estate developments, reminding visitors that even Fayette's rural isolation will be short lived.
Shelby County Commission member John Willingham didn't add his voice to the chorus last week proclaiming that a new day was dawning in Shelby County.
On Oct. 10, his colleagues on the commission approved a building moratorium in unincorporated parts of Shelby County - which goes into effect one week from today - to curb uncontrolled sprawl, even though similar plans failed in 2000 and 2004.
People often associate fund raising with just asking people for money, but according to Cathi Johnson, it's much more than that.

Getting the right mic is a SHURE thing at ProFusion 2014. The list of vendors who will be showing off their wares at ProFuison 2014 is growing. Shure was there last year and are looking forward to presenting new gear this year. If you're not sure about which microphone to use with your DSLR or want to know how to mic your interview subject with the best possible sound, head straight to the Shure booth. No doubt you'll see these latest offerings from Shure –their VP83 and VP83F Lenshopper Camera-Mount Condenser Microphones. Designed to improve audio from DSLR cameras and camcorders, Shure Incorporated offers the VP83 LensHopper™ Camera-Mount Condenser Microphone and the VP83F with integrated flash recording.
The IQ250 features the widest usable ISO range of any high-end camera system.
Phase One introduces the world's first CMOS-based medium format digital camera back. The new 50-megapixel IQ250 brings unprecedented image capture flexibility to the IQ2 family of wireless-enabled high-end camera systems. Delivering up to 15 stops of dynamic range and improved ISO sensitivity of up to ISO 6,400, the new IQ250 digital back will also be capable of shooting up to 2 frames per second in burst shooting mode.
In the studio or on a mountainside, the IQ250 lets photographers capture stunning imagery in available light — virtually anywhere and any time.
With a sensor size of 44x33mm, the IQ250 offers 68 percent more image-capture real estate than any full-frame 35mm DSLR camera and the widest usable ISO range of any medium format camera system.
The IQ250's phenomenal dynamic range of 14 f-stops enables photographers to capture the most demanding scenes in one shot, while retaining details in highlights and shadows. This feature is a godsend for on-location photographers whose only option is to use the light available to them.
In the video below, sports photographer Tim Kemple takes you through his very first day shooting with the Phase One IQ250 digital back. Witness one of the craziest days Tim has had as a photographer.
The IQ250 is designed for capture versatility. With an ISO range from 100 to 6400, it delivers world-class image quality at any ISO speed. And its range of exposure time – from 1/10000s to one hour – accommodates extensive shooting options. Another key feature of the IQ250 is its fluid and responsive Live View, which offers great composition and focus assistance.
The Nikon D5300 offers brilliant image quality with crisp detail. The enhanced 24.2-megapixel CMOS sensor delivers stunning images and HD videos due to the removal of the Optical Low Pass Filter (OLPF). The Nikon D5300 combines performance with easy and intuitive features, to help users capture photos confidently.
For clean, sharp details in even the most challenging lighting conditions – including night games and dimly lit restaurants – the Nikon D5300 covers a wide ISO range of 100-12,800 and is expandable to ISO 25,600.
Nikon's newest image processing engine drives the rapid response and swift performance of the Nikon D5300 while maximizing energy efficiency, reducing image noise and delivering true-to-life colours.
To further help users capture the image they intend, the Nikon D5300 features Nikon's Scene Recognition System and 2,016-pixel RGB metering system to analyze and recognize the scene. Utilizing these systems results in automatic adjustments to exposure, autofocus (AF) and white balance to deliver the best photo possible, whether it's a landscape or portrait.
Nikon's quick and precise 39-point AF system works with the Scene Recognition System to accurately acquire and track subjects throughout the frame, resulting in tack-sharp images. Active kids that are too busy to pose for a photo or pets chasing after a toy are easily captured in brilliant sharpness for memorable photos.
While using the optical viewfinder or in Live View, take advantage of the D5300's ability to shoot at 5 frames per second (fps) to capture great moments that would have otherwise been missed.
The Nikon D5300 is Nikon's first HD-SLR to feature built-in Wi-Fi, allowing users to share high-quality photos instantly. The D5300 sends images to your phone or tablet, allowing you to share through email, social media or whatever else you can think of.
That means friends and family can now see your favourite moments as soon as they happen. The D5300 also includes built-in GPS, another first for Nikon HD-SLRs. You can also tag pictures and let people know where life takes you.
$849.95 for body-only
$1199.95 for the 18-140mm VR kit
$1799.95 for the new AF-S 58/1.4 G lens

Vocal Music and Contemporary Identities
Unlimited Voices in East Asia and the West
Edited by Christian Utz, Frederick Lau
Routledge – 2013 – 324 pages
Series: Routledge Research in Music
Routledge – 2013 – 324 pages
Series: Routledge Research in Music
Looking at musical globalization and vocal music, this collection of essays studies the complex relationship between the human voice and cultural identity in 20th- and 21st-century music in both East Asian and Western music. The authors approach musical meaning in specific case studies against the background of general trends of cultural globalization and the construction/deconstruction of identity produced by human (and artificial) voices. The essays proceed from different angles, notably sociocultural and historical contexts, philosophical and literary aesthetics, vocal technique, analysis of vocal microstructures, text/phonetics-music-relationships, historical vocal sources or models for contemporary art and pop music, and areas of conflict between vocalization, "ethnicity," and cultural identity. They pinpoint crucial topical features that have shaped identity-discourses in art and popular musical situations since the1950s, with a special focus on the past two decades. The volume thus offers a unique compilation of texts on the human voice in a period of heightened cultural globalization by utilizing systematic methodological research and firsthand accounts on compositional practice by current Asian and Western authors.

did you know?
- E-mail Direct messages are official University communications, and therefore, individuals may not opt out of receiving them.
related pages
- Authorization & Approval
- Restrictions
- How to Send an E-mail Direct Message
- Benefits of E-mail Direct
- Drawbacks of Bulk E-mail
- Tips & Reminders
- Help & Additional Information
NYU E-mail Direct is a bulk email service through which preauthorized NYU staff can request to send an email message to a well-defined segment or segments of the University community or to the entire University community. When properly used, mass email is a powerful tool for conducting business swiftly, without generating large amounts of paper.
Before using E-mail Direct, please read the Appropriate Use of E-mail at New York University Policy.
Authorization & Approval
E-mail Direct typically requires authorization by a dean. If you're not sure whether you meet eligibility requirements, send a message with your name, title, and reason for desiring access to email@example.com.
For approval of specific messages, ITS suggests that for mailings to students in a school, a dean can designate a person to approve mailings; for mailings to more than one school, see the Restrictions section, below.
- During the final two weeks of the Fall and Spring semesters, only emergency University-wide mailings are permitted to students.
- Reminder mailings about previously sent messages are not permitted.
- You should not send notification of lectures or events to the entire University unless they are truly University-wide events. Events may be posted on the NYU Calendar, or targeted to specific groups.
- After approval, cross-University mailings may be sent, but there is a limit per sending group. Schools are allowed two per semester plus one in the summer (five total for the year). Administrative units are allowed two per semester (four total for the year). Should your school or division need to send out additional cross-University messages above and beyond these limits, we will consider your request on a case-by-case basis. Please put a request in email and send it to email@example.com and these requests will be reviewed by the Office of the Provost.
- While we do permit non-NYU addresses to be added to a recipient list, Email Direct is not a service that should be used to market an initiative or program to a community who are not associated with NYU. An important distinction of the Email Direct service is that it does not allow an individual to unsubscribe from a list as messages are considered official university communications.
Should you wish to promote your intiative to a non-NYU community, please use our NYU Lists service.
How to Send an E-mail Direct Message
Please follow the instructions on the E-Mail Direct Message submission page.
Benefits of E-mail Direct
Using E-mail Direct ensures that email lists are kept confidential (a requirement at NYU), that systems are properly scheduled for orderly delivery, that bounced email and other anomalies are handled in a structured environment, and that mailings are coordinated across the University. Because addresses are pulled from an up-to-date database rather than being retrieved from the user, the recipient list remains both accurate and typo-free.
Drawbacks of Bulk E-mail
At times, we all object to uninvited communications such as paper bulk mailings, and phone calls selling services. Unsolicited email is frequently sent by commercial entities and may represent "spam" to recipients. Because the Internet grew out of a research and academic tradition where commercial transactions did not exist, some people using email are highly sensitive about keeping the channel uncluttered and effective for desired communications. As a general rule, send messages that are of specific interest only to your targeted group. Don't send "general announcements" as they are likely to create a negative response. Limit the size and number of your mailings.
Tips & Reminders
When sending messages through NYU E-mail Direct or on your own, keep the following points in mind:
- It is not possible to send an attachment using E-mail Direct. Doing so increases network and disk usage unnecessarily. The preferred method for distributing files is to place it on your website and provide a link to it in the E-mail Direct text message itself.
- Limit the size and number of mailings. Infrequent use of email to distribute information is generally acceptable. However, people generally do not like to receive unsolicited email, even though that email may be official University business. By saturating your audience with direct mailings, you may create a negative response to your activity or announcement.
- Plan in advance to deal with responses to your email and, if you send it yourself, to receive rejected (bounced) messages for erroneous or obsolete addresses. For a large list, this can be a significant burden. If you are mailing to an audience whose addresses have been extracted for you from an NYU database, you should report rejected mail to firstname.lastname@example.com so that the incorrect addresses can be corrected in the University's email directory. If E-mail Direct sends your email, we will receive and correct bounces and other anomalies.
- Have ITS create an email alias (e.g., email@example.com) to be used for the "From" address on your email. This will allow recipients of your mail to send a reply to an organizational address rather than to the individual who sent out the mail.
- When your information can be made public, instead of sending a long message, make a web page and send its URL. This limits the size of the email, allows you to format the information more to your liking, and gives the recipient a feeling of greater control.
- Remember that not all members of the University community have email. Also, not everyone who does have email reads it regularly. Sometimes, people get accounts and never use them!
- Keep in mind that in the aggregate, email is not a free service. Schools pay the costs of maintaining NYU-NET and computer systems and support, all of which are necessary for smooth functioning of email and related services.
Help & Additional Information
If you still have a question after reading this page and the Appropriate Use of E-mail at New York University Policy, submit it via email to email@example.com.

I thought I knew what was going on by page five. I was correct in one supposition, but the truth was far stranger than I'd imagined.
For a time it may seem that the typhoid epidemic in evil twin Caleb's stomping grounds is irrelevant, although interesting in itself if you care about medical history. I liked learning about Hester's version of oral rehydration therapy and blanched when I read about burning tobacco leaves for fumigation. Do not allow yourself to become impatient. It's all relevant and that will be revealed in due time.
Is Angus' wife, Genevieve, a cold-hearted accessory to his murder? Did Caleb murder Angus? Is Angus still alive? Why did the author give him the same name as one of the Pitts' cats? (You may ask, but you won't get an answer.) Since we have another Angus, will an Archie show up?
What about Lord Ravensbrook, who was guardian to the Stonefield brothers? What's his role in this tragedy? Mr. Niven was unwittingly ruined by his friend, Angus. Does he really hold no grudge?
Who is the lovely Drusilla and why is she seeking out William Monk? She's a member of Society, as he isn't. Certainly her many charms give Monk the opportunity to unfavorably compare Hester to her in his mind. Will he live to regret this or does Hester have a rival? Does Hester even care?
If you're a fan of Oliver Rathbone, don't worry. He'll have plenty to do during the trial scene. Hester isn't neglected, either. I thoroughly enjoyed her solution to one person's nasty little trap for our hero.
Contrary to what other reviewers have said, this book isn't confusing. While I admit to having been partially fooled the first time I read it, once a crucial point became clear, everything made perfect sense. I definitely recommend this novel.

Gear Review
Jim Orsi
Standard racking carabiner
These are a standard for racking trad gear on your harness. They help keep jumbles of stoppers, slings, cams, etc., organized and accessible. The wiregate shaves some weight off a rack versus a solid gate oval. To my knowledge, the only other wiregate oval on the market is the Omega Pacific Doval.
Ovals are also typically used in aid climbing, but since I don't aid, I can't comment on the BD's performance for that purpose.

- This Afternoon:
- Scattered Storms
- Temperatures: 80s
- Rain: 60%
- This Evening:
- Storms Tapering Off

With all the events going on the mall today, hopefully everybody can be prepared by bringing rain gear. A chance of showers and storms all through the day could rain on the festivities throughout the region. Some of these storms could be strong bringing some pretty gusty winds to the area. Showers and storms will continue to float down from the northwest through the afternoon hours, some could even linger through the early morning hours on Thursday but not anticipating a widespread event after this evening. Warm and humid today, temperatures fall slightly tomorrow into them mid 80s with a touch less humidity. This will be the deal for Friday as well before more humid air and heat pump in for the weekend. Chances of showers and storms fall for Sunday and just in time for Labor Day Monday. Temperatures drop back off by mid next week.

the shadows contrast well w/ the overall colors of the pieces, but the first thing that bugged me was the reflection in the pitch black eye (along w/ the lack of an eyelid). the shadow on the bill of the hat says the light is coming from the top left, the shadow on the nose says the light is coming from high center, and the eye reflection says the light is coming from high left *(all our perspective).
other than that very nice pieces. they're a little flat, but it's a style and i like it so far.

Last week I picked up and headed west to visit San Diego and one of my good friends, Jaime Derringer of Design Milk! San Diego was the last major city in California that I had left to visit and I couldn't wait to pack my bags and get airborne. Not even a sinus migraine or delayed flights could hold me back!
After landing much later than originally planned, Jaime and her beyond adorable daughter picked me up at the airport and drove me directly to the source of all things good in the world – fish tacos at Rubio's, the supposed birthplace of my favorite Mexican delight! Now that's a friend.
The next morning I worked them off (and then some) when we went hiking at Torrey Pines. I complained a little, sweated a lot, but couldn't have asked for a better view along the way. The area is so well maintained, it's seriously impressive.
I loved all of the crazy foliage everywhere, not so much the rattlesnake holes.
After a few trails we drove down to the beach and stood in the freezing cold water, then walked along the edge a little. I was busy looking for shells and realized the west coast is all about rocks. I collected four smallish ones and proceeded to unintentionally carry them along everywhere I went for the next few days in my purse. Let's just call it extra weighted cardio, shall we?
I fell in love with this unattended lifeguard stand against the rocky outcropping of the reserve behind it.
Next we headed over to La Jolla, where I promptly picked out several seaside homes to live in that I can only ever dream of setting foot in let alone affording. The little details of the town are what really stuck out to me (well that and the bazillion foot tall palms), and the juxtaposition of an Armani Exchange next to a local shop selling seashell wind chimes was a treat.
I loved this woman sprawled out in the middle of this park with her pink bike and pink outfit!
What happened next was this animal lover's dream come true. SEALS!
We walked out onto the seawall and I was in heaven, I swear I could have stood there for hours observing these flubbery, flippy-floppy guys!
I promptly picked out my favorite – the light brown guy just to the right of center – and a few minutes later realized he wasn't a seal at all. Instead he was the lone sea lion on the beach! Such a Kelly thing to do.
We stopped for lunch at the sweetest converted house, Cody's, where Jaime had the best fries ever and my chopped salad was amazing. I think I could have sat there for hours under the shade of all their umbrellas admiring this little modern building.
When we got back to Jaime's I was just about as exhausted as Lulu the English Bulldog looked.
The adventure continues…
Love this post. I used to swim really far out in the La Jolla cove and I always thought I would get married in that pink hotel that overlooks the ocean until I grew up and realized how stupid expensive it was.

As a slightly biased Californian, I love this post! The SD area is beautiful, and you captured the coast wonderfully. I, too, pick out my favorite among groups of animals-so funny!

It certainly looks like you had a wonderful time – I hope you have a tan to show for it as well
06-26-13 » 12:38 pm »
well right now it's a peeling sunburn that's slooowly turning into a tan. 😉

lol @ Lulu's FML expression. Permanent sadface.
06-26-13 » 1:25 pm »
I love exploring new places and it sounds like you had the perfect guide to show you the best places. Thanks for sharing!

Been there. Love those crazy seals arguing over a square foot of beach.

Posted on November 13, 2009 at 10:58 am
I've reached the point in Fall Quarter where all that gets me through is endurance. I have a bit of extra motivation this year, though, being that I graduate in June. I haven't yet been hit by the infamous senioritis, but instead find myself more motivated, knowing that I only have a few months of college left.
Recently I spent a Sunday in San Francisco. I joined a friend who commutes there once a week from Angwin to work for a small documentary film company. He got the job as an internship through the Film and Television program here at PUC. He showed me around the office, explaining to me the process of filmmaking. His company has produced several documentaries for National Geographic, PBS, and Apple. We spent the afternoon working, me on my homework, and he on digitizing film.
Last week was particularly busy since on the weekend I attended the yearly Adventist Forum conference that this year was held in Monterey. What took most of my time was preparing my research project for my excellent Civil War & Reconstruction class. I'm writing on Northern religious interpretations of the war. I'm particularly interested in how the religious rhetoric during the Civil War continues to influence American perspectives on war today.
I'm looking forward to next quarter since I'll have a much lighter load. I'll be concentrating my time on my history and honors theses. But I don't mind being busy. This is my last year in college, so I'm trying to take advantage of it as best I can. I've made a list of things I want to do before I leave PUC. It includes visiting the Redwood forests, riding the roller coasters at Six Flags Marine World, and eating at Chez Panisse in Berkeley.
My time at PUC has been memorable. I spent my freshman year at PUC. And though I attended other schools during my college years, I decided to come back and finish here in Angwin. PUC has helped me understand myself–as an Adventist, as a student, and as an individual–more than other place I've been. I know I'll look on my time here with fond memories and sincere gratitude.

Re: getting an exchange for a different device
i think people seem to think that we can choose what phone to send. or in a escalated call we can click a button and send a different phone, its directly related to inventory, IF inventory is low another device can be sent but we cannot choose, its literally a drop down box and sometimes an alternate phone or 3 to choose from is available. i can understand wanting another device. sisyphus is right dont let one bad phone let you think the rest of them are bad phones. when you call in let them know your situation we will be more then happy to send another out, we have to be cautious with exchanges because people call in just to get something new, if troubleshooting wont fix it we will send another, but dont be upset if we cannot send another device type its not our choosing .

Vincent Piat-Kelly hopes that organisms might feed on radioactive waste (Letters, 18 April, p 53). There are indications that microbes can, at least indirectly, utilise energy from radioactive decay.
For example, radiolysis of water produces hydrogen and an oxidant (something like H2O2) which can serve as an energy source for chemolithotrophic organisms (see also "Some bugs like it hot", 5 October 1996, p 42).
Unfortunately, utilisation of the energy released has no effect whatsoever on the rate of decay of radionuclides and hence offers no neat alternative to geological disposal.

The Sutlej River (alternatively spelled as Satluj River) (ਸਤਲੁਜ, शतद्रु or सुतुद्री, , ستلج, and सतलुज) is the longest of the five rivers that flow through the historic crossroad region of Punjab in northern India and Pakistan. It is located north of the Vindhya Range, south of the Hindu Kush segment of the Himalayas, and east of the Central Sulaiman Range in Pakistan.
Sutlej is sometimes known as the Red River. It is the easternmost tributary of the Indus River. Its source is at Lake Rakshastal in Tibet near Mount Kailas, and it flows generally west and southwest. It waters the ancient and historically important region of Greater Punjab. The region to its south and east is arid, and is known as the Great Indian Desert or Thar Desert.
Sutlej joins with the Beas river in the state of Punjāb, India, and continues southwest into Pakistan to unite with the Chenāb river, forming the Panjnad river south of ancient Multān. The Panjnad joins the Indus river at Mithankot. Indus then flows through a gorge near Sukkur, flows through the fertile plains region of Sindh, and terminates in the Arabian Sea near the port city of Karachi in Pakistan.
The waters of Sutlej are allocated to India under the Indus Waters Treaty between India and Pakistan, and are mostly diverted to irrigation canals in India A huge, multipurpose Bhakra-Nangal Dam has been built on Sutlej by the Indian government. There are several major hydroelectric projects on Sutlej, e.g. the 1000MW Karcham-Wangtoo HEP. A -long heavy freight canal, known as the Sutlej-Yamuna Link (SLY), is also being built in India to connect Sutlej and Yamuna rivers.
The Sutlej was known as or in the Vedic period.
There is substantial geologic evidence to indicate that prior to 1700 BC, Sutlej was an important tributary of the Saraswati river rather than the Indus. Geologists believe that tectonic activity created elevation changes which redirected the flow of Sutlej from the southeast to the southwest. The mighty Saraswati then began to dry up, causing desertification of Cholistan and the eastern part of the modern state of Sindh. The desertification resulted in abandonment of numerous ancient human settlements along the banks of Saraswati.
The source of the Sutlej is just west of Mt. Kailash in western Tibet. This is roadless area, and was first explored by kayak and raft by Russian and German teams in 2004. See First descents of the Sutlej in Tibet.

• Many States, One Car:If renting a car for a longer road trip, check with the car rental companies in El Dorado, Arkansas to see if they have policies about crossing state lines that affect the final rate you pay.

Michael Jackson's mother Katherine Jackson leaves the sentencing hearing of Dr. Conrad Murray, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of pop star Michael Jackson, in Los Angeles, California, in this November 29, 2011 file photo. (REUTERS/Gus Ruelas/Files)
LOS ANGELES: A US judge on Wednesday gave temporary guardianship of late singer Michael Jackson's three children to his nephew T.J. amid a bitter public dispute over the whereabouts of the family's matriarch.
Katherine Jackson, the late singer's mother, had custody of Paris, Prince Michael and Blanket, but Judge Mitchell Beckloff suspended that arrangement because she had left the family home in Los Angeles.
The family has been embroiled in legal and financial disputes since the pop star's sudden death in June 2009 from an overdose of Propofol, a powerful anesthetic.
The matriarch's whereabouts were uncertain for days, with one member of the family reporting her missing -- but the singer's brother Jermaine insisting she was well and resting in Arizona.
"I want to reassure everyone ... that Mother is fine but is resting up in AZ on the orders of a doctor, not us," Jermaine Jackson tweeted.
Randy Jackson, another of the singer's brothers, on ABC's "Good Morning America" Wednesday repeated that Katherine had left Los Angeles on her doctor's orders.
Her doctor "wanted her to go somewhere where she couldn't be on the phone, and just cut off from the outside world for a few days," he said.
Katherine Jackson herself has now said she is "good and fine" and on her way home to California, according to excerpts of an interview with ABC News released by the network ahead of its broadcast later Wednesday.
However, her absence has sparked a flurry of angry Twitter messages from Jackson's 14-year-old daughter, Paris.
On Sunday, she wrote: "Yes, my grandmother is missing. i haven't spoken with her in a week i want her home now."
And then on Tuesday, she posted: "9 days and counting... so help me god i will make whoever did this pay."
Her brother Prince Michael is 15, and Blanket is 10.
Katherine Jackson however explained to ABC News: "One reason I didn't call is I just gave up my phone and I didn't want to have any phone calls while I was here."
Lawyers for T.J. Jackson, the 34-year-old son of Michael's brother Tito, and for Katherine Jackson however told the judge they suspected the woman's disappearance was not voluntary.
T.J. Jackson said he spoke with Katherine on Tuesday and that she was acting strangely.
"I've never heard my grandmother talk like that," he said in court. "I'd ask simple questions and she wasn't sharp."
Katherine Jackson said she was "devastated" about the change in the guardianship of her grandchildren, adding that the court ruling was "based on a bunch of lies."
Entertainment media have portrayed her absence as an abduction by Michael's siblings, who are allegedly furious they did not inherit any of the singer's assets.
But she insisted she was visiting a spa in Arizona to rest and that rumors of a kidnapping were false, saying "My children would never do anything to me like that."
On July 17, five of the siblings accused the estate's executors of forging Jackson's signature on the 2002 will that excluded them.
In a letter posted online, Tito, Randy, Jermaine, Rebbie and Janet write "the will, without question, it's fake, flawed, and fraudulent." Tito later withdrew from the group, according to celebrity news website TMZ.
The siblings say they have "evidence that undoubtedly supports and proves that Michael was absolutely not in Los Angeles, California on the date of his signature" in the will.
They demand the executors, John Branca and John McClain, "resign effective immediately," accusing them of having "failed to perform (their) duties."
However, TMZ has reported that the executors had paid off nearly all of the singer's $500 million debt with the income they generated from his assets.
In a statement, Branca and McClain wrote they are "saddened that false and defamatory accusations grounded in stale Internet conspiracy theories are now being made by certain members of Michael's family whom he chose to leave out of his will."

Utah military families get free vacation on 'Snowball Express'
As if they were waiting for Santa Claus, 9-year-old Moira LeGrand and 7-year-old Danika Blamires put their faces inches from the glass and watched fire trucks and other airport emergency vehicles with flashing lights escort a silver American Airlines jet to the terminal.
The girls were among about 20 people from Utah and Idaho, all of whom lost a loved one in the Iraq or Afghanistan wars, waiting at the Salt Lake City International Airport on Thursday for a free trip on what the airline calls the Snowball Express. Gold Star families from other cities also are flying to Dallas this week. The Snowball Express program gives the families a few days of vacation in Dallas.
Deborah May, of South Jordan, flew Thursday with her three children, ages 17, 12 and 10. Her husband, Marine Staff Sgt. Donald C. May Jr., died in Iraq in 2003. This is the sixth time May has taken the Snowball Express and says it's become one of the largest gatherings of war widows and their children. She started crying recalling how the trip allows her to visit with women she communicates with online the rest of the year and gives her children a chance to meet kids like them.
May was 7 1/2 months pregnant with her youngest son when her husband died.
"It just makes you feel like you fit in," May said. "It makes you feel like you're not the weird one."
American Airlines tries to keep the planned festivities a secret from the families, but May said previous years have included trips to rodeos, amusement parks and The Nutcracker.
Ashley LeGrand Rawlings, of Idaho Falls, Idaho, and Moira's mother, said the fun with families like hers is therapeutic. Rawling's first husband, Army Cpl. Damon LeGrand, died in Iraq in 2007.
"The counseling is [the children] know all of these kids are the same," Rawlings said. "They can cry and not be embarrassed."
Like a military ceremony, the departure had pomp and circumstance. After the emergency vehicles escorted the plane to the terminal, Patriot Guard Riders holding American flags lined the entrance to the gate. They cheered as the families boarded the jet.

TuneECU for 990 - got tunes?
View Single Post
Joined: Sep 2004
Location: Main Street, Shedd, Oregon
Oddometer: 2,180
My Life with a 2010 990 Adventure and TuneECU
I have a 2010 990 Adv. Ran glitchy for the first 200 miles. Put on a G2 Throttle tube which helped. Then it ran better for the next 5000. All with the stock map. Eventually it got up to 48 mpg. It always ran very good above 4000.
The worst was right at 3200-3500 rpm and 6-8% throttle. The ignition has a big advanced timing spike centered at 3500 rpm. On the ramp up (3200-3500) it had a very touchy throttle. On the ramp down (3500-4000) it seemed to have a huge flat spot, which took a lot more throttle. This is right at 55 mph.
At 9000 miles I did the first valve adjust, TPS adjust and throttle body sync with an electric gage. It ran better overall, but the timing spike was worse.
I then put on a 2-1 exhaust of my own making. I used most of the stock H pipe and gutted a stock muffler. This pipe has more of a 'boom box' than other pipes. You can hear it chug in the 3000-4000 rpm range.
I re-mapped it several times with TuneECU, cut the spike off the ignition, added fuel and it ran a little better.
Then I tried Power-Tripp's 2-1 map. It ran fantastic! This map had a vibration above 8000, which was probably due to my more restrictive muffler. It also had a lean spot right at 3000 and 8% throttle. So, I cut back the timing and fueling to stock above 8000. I also added about 2% fuel at 3000/8%.
Now it runs fantastic!! Better than any 950 carb'd bike I've ridden. It has a totally smooth throttle from 2000-6000, no abrupt throttle, no surges, no glitches. It is trials-bike smooth down low and just builds with revs.
I used to slip the clutch when transitioning from off throttle to on throttle, now I never touch the clutch. It gets a consistent 40 mpg and is a little flat above 7k compared to dual exhaust. But, since I run it mostly in the 3-5k range all the time, it works great.
I'd suggest that you break in the bike. Don't modify the engine much for the first 5k miles to keep the warranty intact, then go for it during the first valve adjust. Change your oil and filter a lot in the first 3000 miles. I did mine at 300, 1500 and 3000 and wished I had done it more often.
Use TuneECU to mark your throttle tube for % throttle opening and watch it for a while. Look at the stock map when you find a rpm/throttle combo you don't like. Make small changes and ride it for 500 miles. Power-Tripp's maps are a very good starting point if you pull the stock mufflers.
"Dad, can I get a motorcycle when I grow up?"
"Son, you can't do both"

In the attached email description for this new Assassin's Creed: Liberation developer diary, Ubisoft PR says it "…dives deeper into Aveline de Grandpré, the new setting and how the full Assassin's Creed experience is being delivered to the PlayStation Vita." Those of us accustomed to shoddy handheld ports and small vertical slices of the game worlds we love may balk at this statement, but last week I had the chance to play the Vita entry at Ubisoft's office and I'm thrilled to say the publisher has nailed it.
Liberation's New Orleans is overflowing with authenticity and detail, especially interiors such as the Grandpré mansion. Combat is every bit as brutal and compelling as on Liberation's console cousins. And Aveline's various personas add a new layer of choice and strategy at every turn.
But the game's most successful accomplishment (during my time with it) is the way it handles the sensitive issue of slavery. It gracefully depicts the hardships, realities, and misconceptions of what was the leading industry in the 18th century — without pulling any punches.
Assassin's Creed: Liberation is an ambitious game, and from what I've seen deserves to be a system seller for Sony's Vita. If you love the universe Ubisoft has created, consider picking it up when it launches alongside Assassin's Creed III.
