Casey Brown Fastest Woman in Jeep Canadian Open DH
MTB - Whistler, BC
The Jeep Canadian Open Downhill was a rowdy affair today with an exhausting and technical descent that included running the gauntlet at Heckler's Rock. With a time of 2:44.80 Steve Smith (CAD) was untouchable once again at Crankworx Whistler, crushing his competition and finishing almost five seconds faster than second place racer Mick Hannah (AUS) +4.64. Andrew Neethling (RSA) finished third fastest with +5.61.
With this win Steve Smith takes the triple-crown; winning first place in every DH event at Crankworx Whistler. Today's victory at the Jeep Canadian Open DH is particularly sweet as he earns $10,000; the largest prize purse awarded at any DH race in the world. It is apparent Smith is on another level of racing and he is going into the seventh and final round of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup DH in Hafjell Norway as a favorite to win.
The women's podium was a sweep for Canadians with the fastest woman Casey Brown (CAD) coming in way ahead with a time of 3:15.28. Next up was Claire Buchar (CAD) at +9.81 and Lauren Rosser (CAD) +10.44.
With these wins, Smith and Brown also earned enough points to take the overall King and Queen of Crankworx titles. Local Whistler boy Jack Illes was awarded the Prince of Crankworx title for his outstanding performance in the Boys (13-16) category.
Coverage of the Jeep Canadian Open DH was phenomenal and included seven wired cameras on the ground, two cable cams and one helicopter camera, ensuring those watching the live webcast at home had front row seats. Some of the most entertaining footage came from Heckler's Rock where hundreds of shirtless men (and some women) started to gather around 9am.
The Jeep Canadian Open DH was the last event of Crankworx Whistler 2012. This year the festival enjoyed record-breaking crowds the entire ten days, as well as huge uptake on live webcast coverage powered by Red Bull Media House. Replays of the events live webcasted can be found at www.redbull.com/bike. Crankworx 2012 is a wrap, stay tuned for news about Crankworx 2013 dates for Les 2 Alpes in July and Whistler in August.

I'm using jQuery Mobile (jQM) and Knockout.js (ko) to develop an application. In this application, I need to generate a variable number of buttons that are defined by a constantly updating web service.
So, in my markup, I have:
<div id="answerPage-buttons" data-bind="foreach: buttonsLabels">
<button data-role="button" data-inline="true" data-theme="b" data-bind="text: text, click: $root.submitAnswer" />
buttonLabels is a list of short strings returned from the web service. It's defined as:
self.buttonLabels = ko.observableArray();
This all works fine when the buttons are not "jQM styled". However, when I style them using:
problems arise during the update.
The issue seems to be that jQM wraps the buttons in a div (with a sibling span) to make them all nice and mobile looking. However, when the ko applies the updates via the bindings, it only removes the tags, leaving the surrounding stuff, and adds new button tags - which are then also styled by the jQM trigger call.
So, I end up with an ever-growing list of buttons - with only the last set being operational (as the previous ones are gutted by the removal of their button element, but all the styling remains).
I've managed to address this, I think, by placing the following call immediately after the observable is updated:
$("#answerPage-buttons div.ui-btn").remove();
However, my feeling is that there's probably a better approach. Is there?

Wavves Makes a Comic Book
By Larry Fitzmaurice on April 21, 2011 at 9:15 a.m. EDT
Yesterday, Wavves' Nathan Williams Tweeted that he had "something special" to show his followers; given that yesterday was April 20, it's totally understandable to expect a TwitPic of a bunch of blunts and joints or something (although, that did happen). Instead, Williams unveiled his latest project: a comic book called Negative Dad.

Wavves: "Glued" [ft. Zach Hill] (via SoundCloud)
Yesterday, pop-punk ragamuffin Nathan Williams of Wavves posted three unreleased demos from 2009 sessions with Hella's Zach Hill to the band's Ghost Ramp blog: the psych-y jam "Goldy Lox", and the punky cuts "Hula Hoop" and "Glued". We previously posted video of Williams and Hill performing "Hula Hoop" together, and Williams mentioned the sessions in our interview with him last year. Check 'em out above.

Schmooze Blog points out that there's an official video for the title track to Wavves' King of the Beach; directed by Focus Creeps. The clip follows pop-punk fiend Nathan Williams and pals as they get high, play video games, eat food, make counterfeit money, get high again, and, yes, go to the beach. Watch the video below, and see if you can spot what looks like a cameo from Best Coast's cat Snacks.

Wavves' Nathan Williams just posted this new song on his blog. It's a bit more on the garage side of the garage-punk divide and ends with a manic slash of sped-up guitars and drums. Williams and drummer Zach Hill performed the track in an earlier form on a Daytrotter session in 2009, but the track has been reworked. Check it out.
New Wavves: "TV Luv Song"
By Tom Breihan on February 16, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. EST
"TV Luv Song" is a jittery new pop-punk track from Wavves about wasting all your time watching television and feeling just fine about it. According to Spin, the song is "the first in an upcoming batch of music [Wavves frontman Nathan] Williams will be releasing on his own," and it could end up on a 7" single. According to Wavves' Twitter, the image above is the single art, and it comes from artist Robert Wolfe. Head over to Spin to stream the track (their download isn't working).

"No bongs or pipes though. That's how they threw [Tommy] Chong in jail, I'm not going to fuck with that; the rolling papers and grinders are enough for now."
-- Wavves' Nathan Williams, discussing the limits to his drug paraphernalia-hawking exploits (which, yes, now include Wavves-branded rolling papers). He also mentions the possibility of a Wavves-branded strain of weed; good to know he's got his priorities straight. (via Spinner)
Best Coast Plays "Letterman", Meets Justin Bieber
By Tom Breihan on February 1, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. EST
Last night, SoCal fuzz-poppers Best Coast performed on the "Late Show With David Letterman", which gave leader Bethany Cosentino the opportunity to pose for a photo with fellow "Letterman" guest Justin Bieber (that's not a Photoshop up there) and the rest of the world the opportunity to hear Letterman say "Snacks the cat." Cosentino really gives her voice a workout during this rendition of "Each and Every Day", which you can watch below, via Consequence of Sound.
Also last night, Best Coast played a co-headlining show with Wavves at Washington, D.C.'s 9:30 Club. NPR Music hosted live webcasts of the sets from both bands. And right now, you can stream both sets in full on the NPR website.

"I dumped him. I was mean to him, apparently: I called him an idiot because he was dancing on the table in a bar. If I was smarter then, I would've stuck a dollar bill in his underwear."
-- Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino on lessons learned from love (almost) lost when she dumped Wavves' Nathan Williams when they were 17. Spoiler alert: they got back together. (via the Los Angeles Times)

First Guns
- FIrst Guns ( First Guns. Written from the point of view of Michelle Obama's arms. Actually, quite well written, in fact, very tongue-in-cheek, and probably not the worst way to keep up with the First Lady. Here are the Guns on meeting the Queen:
Of course, Michelle performed perfectly, charming everyone with that blend of formality and accessibility that the Obamas do so well. Her one supposed faux pas, when we touched Her Royal Highness, was a warm response to the Queen's overture and was recieved as such. And you know what? We are glad we did it!
Thanks to That's Fit for the link, and recalling the People interview where Michelle talks about her workout routine, and (attention B.O.W.C.) the President's:
Six days a week, he also never misses a workout. "For Barack, exercise is even more important for his sort of structure than for me. I can skip a workout. I can go for days without going into a gym, quite frankly," she says, laughing. "He really can't."

... was out the window. What we did have though was a booking confirmation for a hotel in Bogota. So we thought we would chance our arm a bit and said to them that we would book onward travel out of Brazil during our stopover in Colombia. Our check in assistant, Reuben, was a tough nut to crack but he said he would allow us to check in if his Superior (a lad called Bruce) gave us the green light. So up we go to Bruce's office praying he'd let us check ...

I think our planning, preparation and organisational skills will mean this is going to be a smooth 3 months. Just boarded so time to switch off and get that travel book out (yes OK we haven't really planned the trip but sure we'll nail it in 9 hours). ...

Public Health
|Main Menu
An excel spreadsheet template for calculating life expectancy is available.
tables conceptually trace a cohort of newborn babies through their entire life
under the
Interval (x to x+n)
The period of life between two exact ages; e.g. "20 to 25" means the 5-year interval between the 20th and 25th birthdays.
Specific Mortality Rate (nMx)
The age specific mortality rate , nMx = nDx/nPx where nDx is the number of deaths occurring to persons aged n to x+n, and nPx is the number of persons aged x to x+n alive at the mid-point of the period under consideration. Mortality rates are usually presented as deaths per x persons per year, where x is a convenient population base, e.g. 10,000. If a longer period is used to count the number of deaths (e.g. 5 years as in the life table template) then an adjustment must accordingly be made to calculate the annual age specific mortality rate by dividing the derived rate by the period of observation years.
of Dying (nqx)
To estimate the exact probability of dying between age x and x+n (nqx) the deaths to persons aged x to x+n must be related to the true population at risk. The mid-period population estimate must be adjusted by adding half the number of deaths occurring over the period to it. This assumes that deaths are evenly spread throughout the time period and across the period of life under consideration.
general for age groups; nqx
= 2 x n(nMx)
assumption that deaths are spread evenly across the time period of life under
consideration is particularly unrealistic in the case of infants, where the
majority of deaths occur within the first few days of life.
To calculate the probability of dying for infants therefore, the infant
mortality rate is used, as the number of livebirths is an exact estimate of the
population at risk of dying. Therefore
for infant deaths we have;
1q0 =
1D0/B where
B = number of livebirths over period of consideration.
exception occurs in the final open-ended age group (85+ in the lifetable
templates). As everybody within
this age group must die, the probability of dying is equal to 1,
i.e. ¥qn
= 1.000.
Alive (lx)
The number of persons living at the beginning of the indicated age interval (x) out of the total number of births assumed as the radix of the life table.
number of persons alive at the beginning of an age interval (lx+n) is
equal to the number alive at the beginning of the previous age interval (lx),
minus the numbers of persons dying within that previous age interval
over the time period considered (ndx);
i.e. lx+n
= lx - ndx
Dying (ndx)
The number of persons dying within the indicated age interval (x to x+n) out of the total number of births assumed in the table.
number of persons dying within a particular age interval (ndx)
is equal to the number persons alive at the beginning of that age interval (lx)
multiplied by the probability of dying within that age interval (nqx),
i.e. ndx
= lx x nqx
Lived in Age Interval (nLx)
The number of person-years that would be lived within the indicated age interval (x to x+n) by the assumed cohort of 100,000 births. Again, assuming that deaths are spread equally across the age intervals and also across the period of consideration, then the number of person-years lived in an age interval is calculated as the mean of the populations at the beginning and end of each age interval, multiplied by the length of each age interval in years i.e. nLx = n/2 x (lx + lx+n)
difficulty arises with the estimation of 1L0,that is the
average number of infants alive who have not yet reached their first birthday.
Again the problem is that it cannot be assumed that infant deaths occur
uniformly throughout the 0 to 1 age interval.
For this reason 'separation factors' are used to weight the average
of l0 and l1 as follows;
= 0.3l0 + 0.7l1
additional problem lies with ¥L85,
the average number of persons alive over age 85.
This is approximated from ¥L85
= ¥d85/¥M85.
Years Lived From Age x (Tx)
The total number of person-years that would be lived after the beginning of the indicated age interval by the assumed cohort of 100,000 births. This is calculated by simply cumulating the nLx column from the oldest to the youngest age.
Expectancy (ex)
The average remaining lifetime (in years) for a person who survives to the beginning of the indicated age interval. Calculated by dividing the total number of person-years lived from age x (Tx) by the number of persons alive at age x (lx)
i.e. ex = Tx/lx

Questions To Ask Before You Invest In A Photography Class
Of course I hope that you'll decide to explore your interest in photography by registering for my classes, however, I realize that there are a lot of choices available.
In order to help you make a more informed decision based on your particular needs, please take a moment to read through the following questions before you register for any workshop.
I hope the questions will assist you in selecting the right person or organization to work with.
With Jobs Like These, You'll Need A Job !
Photographers who are beginning their careers feel that they must work for low pay or no pay to prove themselves. As photographers we prove ourselves with our work. The only thing we prove by working for little or no pay is that we will work for little or no pay.

#UndertheDoor | "Shop Smarter" via @TerrillCharming
"You've checked into a luxxury suite off the Coast of the Cayman Islands, remember receiving your favorite "morning paper "delivered directly to your doorstep? "Under The Door" is a column within The Collective that allows our gems to submit articles that intend to educate others and promote innovative ideas that increase productivity within our society…"
"Shop Smarter" Submitted by @TerrilCharming
I'm a guy who loves fashion. When I can afford it, I still shop at the outlet store. I see no reason to go to Macy's or the mall to purchase designer clothing/accessories. I do track both male and female brands because I help people shop.
A few of my favorites are but not limited to: Bebe, BCBG, True Religion, Coach, DKNY, Kenneth Cole, Victoria's Secret, Ecko, Michael Kors, Ted Baker, Perry Ellis.
Too many people want to believe they know the difference between something from the mall vs the outlet store. Unless you're a designer or work retail stores, then you're NOT well versed in knowing what was last year design versus 2012.
Case in point. BCBG "Power Skirt" which has been out for 6 months to a year in some markets, but little known to "common people" here in America.
Wear designer on a dime. You work too hard to spend it all on one outfit.

Notes from the Cellar blog
A rosé for all seasons (especially this one)March 24, 2014 at 12:58 PM — Wine Guy
While pink, in all its amazing shades, is on my palette of flavors year-round, something magic happens as late winter turns to spring. Just like that, the light is all different, colors start their brilliant metamorphosis and although we all know that it ain't really gonna quit raining 'til the 5th of July, everything is just a little bit brighter, in every sense of the word. Lighter shades red of transcend their places in the cast of tasty options, to the star status of full-blown cravings.
Today, I'm thinking Tavel. Monsieur Soleil inspires me to hues of pink, but that cool edge to the breeze makes me want the warmth of red, something heady, bright, grenache-ish, Rhône-ish, with spicy red fruit and that inimitable stony undercurrent.
Tavel, baby. France's only appellation that's devoted solely to pink wine. Refreshing, cool and dry, with a heart that beats red fruit, and recites poetry with a garrigue-y accent. Blood oranges and raspberries, the citrus accented with the bitter edge of the rind, just-ripe berries imprinted with the incredible earthy tinge of their skins, the enticing hint at bitterness that plays perfect counterpoint with fruit.
This, of course makes me hungry. Like all the best wines, it's best with the companionship of some mets, particularly savory things. Perfect with sardines, anchovies or escargot in a very simple preparation. Fresh greens, chèvre or other piquant cheeses, jambon, olives… see where this is going? As for me, I'm inspired, thirsty, hungry -- and going to the store...
À bientôt!

"Hell is other people," and that's perhaps why Dante chose to write in the vernacular. Mary Jo Bang posits Dante's choice of demotic Italian over more academic Latin as crucial to her more "pop" approach to the Inferno, as if Dante, in descending the circles of Hell, were literally playing out a necessary descent from the purities of high-culture into the noisy substrata of the low.[1] But for a misreading of Benjamin, in which Bang posits his translational ethics as invested in "sharing what is common to all," her approach partakes in Benjamin's notion that, in the zombie "afterlife" of a text, one can only reanimate it through translation in ways that are impermanent and historical.
Emily Dickinson's poetry is perhaps the closest thing canonical American literature has to a "sacred language." In Robert Duncan's lectures on Dickinson, we could say that he posits her as the ultimate untranslatable poet, even within her own language. In her poems she "bring[s] us to the line where everything is so fraught with meaning that we can't find the meaning."
Like many traditional translators, Benjamin describes a bad translation as the "inaccurate transmission of inessential content," an inaccuracy that experimenters may revel in, as they amp up the noise between versions . . . We could say in a Lacanian moment that these new translators make a pere-version of the original, seemingly derailing the paternal metaphors and prohibitions implicit in God-as-namer and the translator as the guarantor of the name. But what would it mean to take Benjamin seriously (and, with Lacan, to avow the unavoidability of the paternal imago), to search for the Adamic patois, divine remnants of the sacred language in the infomatic jumble of disaggregated signs in our literary arcades?
It is a common misconception that Walter Benjamin's writings on translation, specifically "The Task of the Translator," support and even found a translation practice that calls itself "experimental." This couldn't be further from the truth.
"Traduttore, traditore": a cliché perhaps not worth repeating (like most bon-mots about translation, including that singularly awful quote from Yevtushenko). Except that, pari passu and funiculi, funicula, it doesn't get repeated enough. That is, in its original it's a near sonic repetition, with only one changed vowel—it is a repetition, then, that is subject to disavowal when you say "translator, traitor" in English.
Birdlike, a poem lifts off from the page, leaves words behind, ascends beyond ink.
But then it flies into a window.
Amaris Cuchanski, David Wallace, and Laynie Browne converged on the Writers House one day recently to talk about a remarkable performance piece (later text) by Caroline Bergvall, "VIA." In the piece, Bergvall intones forty-seven English translations of the opening tercet of Dante Alighieri's Inferno (1321): "Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita / mi ritrovai per una selva oscura / ché la diritta via era smarrita." She arranges the translations alphabetically according to first word, from "along" to "when," reciting the translator's name and date after each. Our PoemTalkers discuss the poem's pre-textual state as aural performance, the remarkable title which seems to connect every manner of issue and mode, the relative literary value and literary-historical place of individual verse translators, translation itself as inherently open, and, of course, the ur-relevance of Dante's always-interpretable infernal foray into the experience of being lost in words.
"Just the place to bury a crock of gold," said Sebastian. "I should like to bury something precious in every place where I've been happy and then, when I was old and ugly and miserable, I could come back and dig it up and remember." — Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited
I wanted to draw out George Economou on the task of translating Cavafy as he was finishing up an extended project to be released, by coincidence, in the poet's sesquicentennial year. I began by asking him to describe that project. (To conserve space, many of my subsequent questions are elided; they are implicit in George's discursive responses.)
Economou: My current project consists of 162 poems, the 154 "Collected" or "Published" poems, seven poems from the group known as the "Unpublished" poems, and one poem from the "Repudiated Poems," i.e., early poems that Cavafy withheld from publication. The title is Complete Plus, The Poems of C. P. Cavafy in English, to be published by Shearsman in early 2013.
In his 1961 introduction to Rae Dalven's translations, W.H. Auden catalogued the poetic "conventions and devices" that Cavafy's poetry fails to provide the English translator looking for equivalents: the imagery of metaphor and simile, a style or register of diction (English has "nothing comparable to the rivalry of demotic and purist" Greek, the mixture of which is the most characteristic aspect of Cavafy's texture), ornament. Yet of the versions by several translators Auden had read, "every one of them was immediately recognizable as a poem by Cavafy; nobody else could have written it." So what is it, he asks, that "survives translation and excites?" Auden's answer was a tone of voice, one that "reveals a person with a unique perspective on the world." Later, in his 2006 introduction to Aliki Barnstone's translations, Gerald Stern amends this to a sensibility, a "tender humanism, a humanitas supreme." Peter Bien had called it an attitude of "resignation," understood not as despair but a kind of wisdom.
C.P. Cavafy's introduction to the English literary world was accomplished largely through the efforts of E.M. Forster. Forster met Cavafy during the First World War in Alexandria where, as a conscientious objector, he served with the Red Cross. Already a successful novelist, he was intrigued by both the poet (Daniel Mendelsohn characterizes Forster's interest as a "crush") and his work. He composed a vivid portrait of Cavafy, published in 1919 in The Nation and the Atheneum and again in his collection Pharos and Pharillon, which included the description — by now a cliché — of "a Greek gentleman in a straw hat, standing absolutely motionless at a slight angle to the universe." This essay also featured a translation of "The God Abandons Antony." After the war Forster brought Cavafy's poems to the attention of T.S. Eliot, who published "Ithaca" in The Criterion in 1924, and Leonard Woolf, who published "The City" in The Nation and the Atheneum the same year. The translations of all these poems were made, with Cavafy's involvement, by George Valassopoulo. Woolf also tried unsuccessfully for years to persuade Cavafy (who did not publish a book of his poems in Greek during his lifetime) to let the Hogarth Press bring out a collection of Valassopoulo's English versions.[1] Cavafy and Forster continued to correspond until the poet's death.

Silver Star LimousineRead MoreThough it began in 1981 with just one Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, today, Silver Star Limousine operates a fleet of 35 upscale vehicles that range from the antique to the exotic. Drivers can ferry a pair of passengers to a wedding in a 1932 Hupmobile, chauffeur a corporate getaway in a Mercedes Sprinter, or make a quick trip from the airport in a Lincoln Town Car. Each vehicle has been outfitted with technology to reduce its carbon footprint and can travel across the tri-state area. Stretch limos and party buses create an air of mystery for groups of up to 40 passengers, with amenities such as LED light shows, 54-inch plasma TVs, and room for dancing.810 Yonkers Ave.Yonkers, NY US
Go Green RhvacRead MoreAccording to Go Green RHVAC, one of the best ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to make sure your home's energy system is operating efficiently. The company's technicians can help ensure that's the case in your home, installing new, high-efficiency HVAC systems that help lower energy bills and better regulate indoor temperatures. Of course, buying a whole new system isn't your only option: the techs can also clean, inspect, and repair existing A/Cs and furnaces to help them operate as efficiently as possible. Or, they can boost indoor air quality by cleaning air ducts and vents to rid them of debris and irritants such as dust, mildew, pollen, and dust mites. To do the job right, Go Green RHVAC's technicians use a truck-mounted machine specifically designed to clean air ducts. And, they can also apply an anti-microbial fog treatment that keeps bacteria and mold at bay for up to six months and allows homeowners to pretend they live in London for a few hours.18 Seely TerraceBloomfield, NJ US
Crystal CleanRead MoreIt may seem unlikely, but the air inside homes is often more polluted than the air outside. That?s because homes cycle air, which can contain pollen, dust, and dander, through HVAC systems until somebody finally breathes it. The team of technicians at Crystal Clean applies 18 years of experience to help keep indoor atmospheres clear of particulate offenders by using NADCA-Certified Advanced HEPA filtration systems to clean air ducts and vents. The components of the furnace needing cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, and chimney cleaning are also available, payable directly to Crystal Clean at time of service.738 South StreetPeekskill, NY US
Constant Clean CrewRead MoreThe professional technicians behind Constant Clean Crew make it their duty to keep homes and businesses sparkling. In addition to scouring interiors, they also purge dusty ducts and air vents. For the past two years, they have depended on word-of-mouth marketing to promote their services instead of spending money on expensive and unreliable word-of-nose marketing.562 rt 82hopewell jct, NY US

A votre sante! Prost!
Practice your foreign language toasts at a unique wine and beer tasting on April 12 from 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. at the Gallery One Visual Arts Center in Ellensburg. The event, which features libations from France, Germany, and Washington State, will fund scholarships for students in French and German studies at Central Washington University.
"We hope to raise at least $4,000 for scholarships," said Marji Morgan, dean of the College of Arts and Humanities. Morgan, who is hosting the event with World Languages Professors Nathalie Kasselis, Michael Johnson, Laurie Moshier, and Natalie Lefkowitz, says the benefit will highlight some of the remarkable cultural offerings from France and Germany.
Guests will enjoy French and German delicacies prepared by Chef Oscar Guitron of the Yellow Church Café. The menu includes hearty appetizers such as German mini-pastrami sliders and French Brie en croute.
There will be a silent auction, in which bidders can vie for, among other things, a week for six in a Sun Valley, Idaho resort home and guest house, donated by Linda Duper and Steve Willard, generous supporters of CWU. In addition, French, German, and Theatre Arts students will provide musical entertainment.
"This promises to be a spectacular evening!" enthused Morgan. "You will be able to experience French wine, German beer—and help our students succeed at the same time."
Tickets must be purchased in advance. The benefit is $35 per person and is tax-deductible. Tickets are available at Wildcat Tickets, www.cwu.edu/tickets/single-events, or by calling 509-963-1429. Tickets will not be available at the door. For more information, contact Barbara Hodges at 509-963-1400 or by e-mail, email@example.com.

Pakistan Supreme Court Orders Arrest of PM for Corruption
Ashraf's Term May End Much as Gilani's Did
In June, Pakistan's long-standing Prime Minister Yousef Raza Gilani was removed from office after being convicted of contempt of court by the Supreme Court. Officials named Makhdoom Shahabuddin as his replacement, but this idea was ditched almost immediately when it was discovered he already had a warrant out for his arrest.
This brought a beginning to the administration of Raja Pervez Ashraf, who was under investigation for corruption charges but hadn't been indicted yet. This was apparently the closest the ruling PPP could come to a candidate who wasn't already a criminal.
Ashraf lasted just over half a year, and now his term looks to be in serious jeopardy as well, as the investigations have completed and the Supreme Court has ordered him and 15 other co-conspirators arrested for corruption in the "rental power plants" scandal.
Ashraf was at the center of the rental power plants scandal, in which off-shore power plants were given hundreds of millions of dollars to generate additional electricity but produced a small fraction of what was promised. At the time, Ashraf was the minister for power and water, and was reportedly paid major kickbacks by the companies for signing off on the deals, earning him the nickname Raja Rental.

Hmmm, must be nice to have a Supreme Court like that.
Seriously man, didn't that guy just become the PM?
Also while the Supreme Court is still at it, aint it time for El Presidente Mr. 10% to go BACK to jail?

Product description
To the renowned psychoanalyst, philosopher, and linguist Julia Kristeva, Melanie Klein (1882-1960) was the most original innovator, male or female, in the psychoanalytic arena. Klein pioneered psychoanalytic practice with children and made major contributions to our understanding of both psychosis and autism. Along the way, she successfully introduced a new approach to the theory of the unconscious without abandoning the principles set forth by Freud. In her first biography of a fellow psychoanalyst, the prolific Kristeva considers Klein's life and intellectual development, weaving a narrative that covers the history of psychoanalysis and illuminates Kristeva's own life and work. Kristeva tells the remarkable story of Klein's life: an unhappy wife and mother who underwent analysis, and--without a medical or other advanced degree--became an analyst herself at the age of 40. In examining her work, Kristeva proposes that Klein's "break" with Freud was really an attempt to complete his theory of the unconscious. Kristeva addresses Klein's numerous critics, and, in doing so, bridges the wide gulf between the clinical and theoretical worlds of psychoanalysis. Klein is celebrated here as the first person to see the mother as the source of not only creativity, but of thought itself, and the first to consider the place of matricide in psychic development. As such, Klein is a seminal figure in the evolution of the provocative ideas about motherhood and the psyche for which Kristeva is most famous. Klein is thus, in a sense, a mother to Kristeva, making this book an account of the development of Kristeva's own thought as well as Klein's.

SCIENTIST AT WORK: Carl R. Woese
Microbial Life's Steadfast Champion
By SANDRA BLAKESLEE
Published: October 15, 1996
IT'S clear to me that if you wiped all multicellular life forms off the face of the earth, microbial life might shift a tiny bit,'' said Dr. Carl R. Woese, an evolutionary microbiologist who has devoted his life to convincing people, including other scientists, that microorganisms are in charge of nearly everything. ''If microbial life were to disappear, that would be it -- instant death for the planet.''
Sitting in his cluttered office at the University of Illinois in Urbana last week, Dr. Woese (pronounced ''woes'') put his feet up on his desk and tried to explain the nature of his devotion to the proposition that microorganisms dominate the globe.
A scientist who prefers to work alone, Dr. Woese, 68, single-handedly discovered a third branch of life called Archaea, a microbial form that is turning up in great quantities around the globe. He rewrote the tree of life, paring it from five kingdoms to three domains, with the human species sitting at the tip of one. And he pioneered the application of Darwinian thought to microbiology -- a marriage of disciplines that is revolutionizing the way scientists view the world and how humans fit in.
At first Dr. Woese's division of life was controversial, but it gradually gained wide acceptance. And last summer, the complete genome of an archaean organism was decoded for the first time, a landmark scientific step. Dr. Craig Venter, who decoded the genome, argued that the work put beyond doubt the question of whether the Archaea were a separate domain.
The problem with appreciating microbes is that they are invisible, Dr. Woese said. But they make up at least 80 percent or perhaps even 90 percent of the biomass. In terms of living protoplasm, he said, microbes outweigh all plants, insects and animals.
''If you took all the fish and whales out of the ocean, it would not make a dent in the amount of living matter in the oceans,'' Dr. Woese said.
Human beings like to think that biodiversity is represented by the rain forest, in the insects, plant life and larger animals that people can see and understand, Dr. Woese said.
But he argues that true biodiversity is found in microbes, which have been evolving for at least 3.5 billion years. On this time scale, plants and animals are not far apart on the evolutionary tree. Humans and fungi are practically on the same branch. The microbial world established the biosphere and sustains it.
Dr. Woese said bacteria were responsible for all the oxygen on the planet, via chloroplasts, which were once free-living bacteria and now reside in plants. They recycle carbon with infinite variation, regulate gases in the atmosphere and oversee mineral deposition. They invented biochemistry. Humans are merely jerry-built embodiments of microbial engineering, Dr. Woese said.
But that is not all. Dr. Woese put his feet down, leaned forward and described his quest of the last 30 years. The microbial world contains a detailed record of human evolutionary history, he said. The story of how life arose from a pre-biotic soup to the complex webs of life today is written in the genomic sequences of microbes. Sequences are the ancient texts. Humans just have to learn how to read them.
To decipher them, Dr. Woese has applied modern evolutionary biology, a fusion of Darwinian theory and molecular genetics, to the study of microbes. Dr. Woese says it has been a solitary task, since most microbiologists are not interested in evolution and most evolutionary biologists care little about microbes. ''I've been pretty much ignored,'' he said with a wry smile.
Actually, Dr. Woese has not been ignored by mainstream biologists, although some, like the eminent Harvard zoologist Ernst Mayr, feel that he has gone too far in his reclassification of life and emphasis on microbes. ''Woese would put dinosaurs and birds together,'' Dr. Mayr said in a telephone interview. ''While birds derived from something like dinosaurs, they have become so differnet that they should be recognized as different taxa in their own right.''
Others are in awe. ''If you pick up any biology textbook and look at the people who have been remembered in the past 100 years, you will see names like Darwin and Mendel,'' said Dr. Mitchell Sogin, an evolutionary microbiologist at the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory on Cape Cod. ''Tomorrow's biology textbooks will have names like Watson and Crick and Carl Woese. He works on the big picture instead of the little details.''
Educated at Amherst College and Yale University, Dr. Woese studied biophysics. This, he said, kept him from being indoctrinated by the reigning paradigm of microbiology in the early 1960's. At the time, he said, most microbiologists thought that sequencing microbial genes was impossible, even though there was a robust evolving technology for sequencing proteins and DNA from the mid-1950's on. Compared with today's techniques, it was primitive and laborious but it laid the groundwork for modern biotechnology.
A deeper problem was that even the microbiologists and bacteriologists who studied microbes for a living tended to be deceived by their morphology, or shape, Dr. Woese said. Most microbes really do look alike. There are big rods, little rods, big cones, little cones, spirals and a few other shapes. But the deep diversity of microorganisms is not evident on the surface.
Furthermore, most microorganisms cannot be cultured in the laboratory, Dr. Woese said. They are intrinsically interdependent and refuse to grow in a laboratory dish.
But for microbial ecologists, what could be cultured was the basis of their conception of what existed, he said. ''This is exactly like learning about animals from visiting zoos,'' he said. ''Their natural representation and behaviors are completely distorted.''
Finally, biologists had a dogmatic belief that life falls into five kingdoms (animals, plants, fungi, protozoa and bacteria). The sheer dominance of the microbial world was ignored, even though there were many clues to its existence.
''I knew that to go after the deep evolutionary problems in biology, I had to have a universal phylogeny -- a family tree -- of the microbial world,'' Dr. Woese said. ''I was particularly interested in how nucleic acids talk to amino acids, in how early cells managed to translate this information.
''But without knowing how organisms are related, deep in time, you can't begin to answer this,'' he said. ''Imagine walking out in the countryside and not being able to tell a snake from a cow from a mouse from a blade of grass. That's been the level of our ignorance.''
Given this vacuum, Dr. Woese set out to fill it. ''I closed my door and went to work,'' he said. ''I didn't have any competitors because no one else thought that what I was doing was important. It was a one-horse race.'' Again that wry smile.
Using a painstaking method for sequencing genetic material, Dr. Woese spent 10 years staring at microbes -- specifically at patterns of microbial nucleic acids. In the beginning, he said, it took a year to do one bacterium.
Dr. Woese pioneered the use of ribosomal RNA, a relatively small amount of genetic material that is found in all life forms. It is a yardstick for finding out the evolutionary history of microbes. The more alike their ribosomal RNA sequences, the more closely they are related.
''After a time you get a feel for the relationships among these organisms,'' he said. Prokaryotes, the true bacteria that have no nucleus, tend to show one pattern. Eukaryotes (cells with nuclei) have a different pattern. At the time, these were the only two kinds of microbes known.
In June 1976, Dr. Woese encountered a pattern he had never seen before. It was from a microbe that produces methane. ''I was stunned,'' he said.
After looking at a few other microbes that make their living in a similar manner, Dr. Woese realized that he had found a third domain of life. He called it Archaea.
Most scientists now follow Dr. Woese and classify life into three domains: Eubacteria, Archaea and Eukarya. These divisions represent profoundly different lines of evolution that may be rooted in a common ancestor.
An organism that is close to the very first ''cell'' could still be around or it could be extinct, Dr. Woese said. No one knows.
One of the Archaea was fully sequenced for the first time this year and announced with great fanfare in August. Half of its genes have never before been seen by genomic researchers. They are ecstatic.
Dr. Woese said he was helped in his continuing exploration of the micro-wilderness by Dr. Norman Pace, a colleague who is now at the University of California in Berkeley. Dr. Woese recalled: ''One day Norm said to me, 'Carl, you don't need to culture microorganisms. You can pull out single genes and build evolutionary trees from that information.' ''
The ability to ''pull out single genes'' was based on cloning techniques. It was possible to extract millions of genes from a soil sample, apply a probe and pull out ribosomal RNA -- thus finding new microbial species.
Using Dr. Pace's methods and others developed in the 1980's, researchers could identify new microbes in a few days. They went to exotic locales -- hot springs, active volcanoes, deep-sea vents, Antarctic ice packs -- to find ''bugs.''
The microbial tree of life had fewer than 500 species in 1991, Dr. Woese said. It now has more than 5,000 species. And that, Dr. Woese said, is the tip of the iceberg.
Surprises turn up every week. Every time an assay is made, new microbes are found. Those thought to live in only extreme environments, like boiling waters in Yellowstone, have relatives found in temperate oceans where they make up 50 percent of the microbial life. No one knows what they are doing there.
People are beginning to pay attention to the microbial world, but Dr. Woese objects to the direction of the research. Much of the financing for finding and sequencing new microbes comes from the biotechnology industry, which wants to put the microbes to work in laundry detergents, cleaning up toxic waste dumps and the like.
''They have it backwards,'' said Dr. Woese, still the solitary, single-minded scientist. ''We should explore this world to ask deep questions about biology. Applications will certainly follow.''
