Gear Review
Great backpack
I bought this as an all around pack. Something I could use for school as well as day hikes. It was not as big as I thought it would be based on previous reviews but it still is a great pack. I can fit my 15" MacBook Pro, a Nalgene, and about 3 books (not large hardcover books) in the main compartment. With those in the main compatrment there isn't any room in the front smaller pocket for anything substantial.
If I lost this pack or could buy any other pack I wanted again, I would buy this pack without thinking twice.

UN rights experts outraged by extremely harsh sentence against blogger
May 17, 2014 — Saudi Arabia: UN rights experts outraged by extremely harsh sentence against blogger
GENEVA (15 May 2014) – A group of UN human rights experts today expressed alarm at the conviction to 10 years in prison, 1,000 lashes, and a 1 million Saudi riyal fine against Saudi online activist and blogger, Raef Badawi.
"This outrageous conviction should be overturned and Mr. Badawi immediately released," said the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion, Heiner Bielefeldt, the Special Rapporteur on freedom of expression, Frank La Rue, the Special Rapporteur on torture, Juan E. Méndez and the Chair-Rapporteur of the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, Mads Andenas.
"Mr. Badawi is a prisoner of conscience, who has been convicted for peacefully expressing his views on religious and other issues," they added.

Thanks IT. Was still thinking if SA still doesn't pick up i'll have to make a trip to your blog.
Thanks for the link :) learn alot from your insight though i'm still young into investment, and living in the other part of the universe which ppl here don't really write about. Unfortunately sometimes i couldn't decipher what you mean exactly in a practical way. The comments here have definitely been helpful.
Happy NY again :)
Thanks cyenwong. I hope this article isn't too far over people's heads altogether. It was a long one already, and as I re-read it I thought "well, I'll lose some people here, and here, and here." But to expand on what I mean by 'modified duration,' for example, ... well, actually I suppose I could do that in a sentence or two. But all of those sentences add up.

Teaching ethics and the Code:
Nurse educators weigh in
A wide range of ethical questions emerge in the bioethics class that Connie Ulrich, PhD, RN, FAAN, an associate professor of bioethics and nursing at the University of Pennsylvania Schools of Nursing and Medicine, teaches to second-degree nursing students. Questions like: How do you determine which patient should receive an organ transplant; how do you respond to patients who want a diagnosis when family members object; what is your professional and moral obligation to care for patients with Ebola; and what do you do if a patient asks you to assist with suicide?

Review: Samsung Gravity Smart
Form Basics Extras Video Wrap-Up Comments 1
Media Camera Photos/Video Browse/Customize Extras
The Gravity Smart uses the same, drab, boring music player that's on nearly all Android devices. Samsung did nothing to make it fun to use. Side-load your music via a PC and the microUSB port (or directly onto the microSD card itself) and the Gravity Smart will find your tunes and play them back with no problem.
If you want more than simple playback, you'll have to jump into the Android Market, where hundreds of apps (including Amazon MP3 Player, Pandora, Slacker, among others) are available for download.
Click a thumbnail above for a larger view.
The Gravity Smart makes use of the stock YouTube app to satiate video snacking needs. It's a good piece of software for browsing through videos on YouTube and playing them back. The photo gallery software is used to play back any video content captured on the device itself or side-loaded to the microSD card. It is a bare-bones player, but it works.

3D Vision on Linux
I tried the new beta driver 195.30 on my Linux machine (RHEL4) to test the nvidia 3D Vision. With option set to "Stereo" "10" in the xorg.conf file and FX380 card, everything seems to work except the emitter, which is light green but does not turn to strong green. OpenGL based programs displayed double images but no stereo effect through the glasses (from the 3D Vision kit). The emitter was plugged to an USB port. Here are my questions:
1) Do I need an additional driver for the emitter like for Windows? If so, is this driver available?
2) The FX380 does not have onboard stereo DIN connector (3D Vision works fine with USB only for this card on Windows system) so the only connection is the USB. Is this sufficient? In the instruction on the X config options from nVidia, it is mentioned that "infrared emitter must be connected to a USB port of your computer, and to the 3-pin DIN connector of a Quadro graphics board (based on G8xGL or higher GPU) before starting the X server". Is it really true that both the USB and the 3-pin DIN connections must be made? If so, then only high end cards meet the requirement, a different situation from that of the Windows system.
Please let me know if you have info on how to make the 3D Vision stereo work. Thanks.

Re: Sugar Ray Leonard vs Roberto Duran
I'm increasingly aware of the notion that my own taste differs a bit from most Classic members. This is my favorite fight of all-time, and I particularly enjoy the early rounds. In round 1, Duran is troubled so much by Leonard's ridiculous speed that he's hardly in the fight. He tries several different means of approach, which mostly fail, and you can see he's leery of the handspeed as well.
I've watched this fight upwards of a dozen times. Seeing how Duran copes and ultimately conquers a speed deficit and goes from seeming considerably slower to almost equally fast is pure boxing. He doesn't actually get faster, of course, but the timing, the feinting, the slipping, angles, in-and-out of range way of positioning the feet, changing the tempo whenever Leonard is near the ropes -- just makes it seem they are on equal footing.
Every time I watch this fight, I see new things. There's just so much in it.

Predicting Palestinian genocide of Jews under a one-state solution is a mite farfetched, I would submit.
When there is genocide in Darfur, systematic rape in Congo, repression in Burma -- there must be consequences.
To get a resolution about genocide passed, he devised a letter-writing campaign.
1944, apparently coined by Polish-born U.S. jurist Raphael Lemkin (1900-1959) in his work "Axis Rule in Occupied Europe" [p.19], in reference to Nazi extermination of Jews, literally "killing a tribe," from Greek genos "race, kind" (see genus) + -cide. The proper formation would be *genticide.
Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aimed at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. [Lemkin]Earlier in a similar sense was populicide (1799), from French populicide, by 1792, a word from the Revolution. This was taken into German, e.g. Völkermeuchelnden "genocidal" (Heine), which was Englished 1893 as folk-murdering.
The deliberate destruction of an entire race or nation. The Holocaust conducted by the Nazis in Germany and the Rwandan genocide are examples of attempts at genocide.

The Magazine
No longer blind to the greatness of this versatile Greek.
May 9, 2011, Vol. 16, No. 32 • By JOSEPH EPSTEIN
What isn't in dispute is Xenophon's close relationship with Agesilaus, who ruled Sparta as one of its two kings for the unusually long span of 40 years. Plutarch writes of Agesilaus' "early life having added to his natural kingly and commanding qualities the gentle and humane feelings of a citizen." Despite being small and having had a limp owing to one of his legs being shorter than the other, "the goodness of his humor, and his constant cheerfulness and playfulness of temper, always free from anything of moroseness or haughtiness, made him more attractive, even to his old age, than the most beautiful and youthful men of the nation." As late as his seventies, Agesilaus was still leading the Spartans into battle.
Xenophon first encountered Agesilaus at the Battle of Coronea. He somehow managed to insinuate himself with the Spartan king. This connection, which placed him in the inner circles of Sparta, gave him, in effect, a chair in the royal box for viewing the history of post-Peloponnesian War Greece—a history that ended with the ultimate subduing of once-mighty Greece, through endless internecine battles and disputes, by the Macedonian Philip II, father of Alexander the Great.
Agesilaus and Xenophon shared a belief in the need to destroy the Persian Empire and a hatred of Thebes. Always loyal to friends, Agesilaus arranged for Xenophon's retirement estate at Scillus. One of the chief criticisms of Xenophon's Hellenika is its author's too kind—which is to say largely uncritical—treatment of the Spartan king, and his partiality toward the Spartans generally throughout his history. So strong is this partiality that, for long spells in the Hellenika, one almost forgets that Athens exists. One of Xenophon's modern critics suggests that the title of the work would more accurately have been Peloponnesiaca. The great Theban general Epaminondas, the man responsible for defeating the Spartans at Leuctra (371 b.c.) and Mantinea (362 b.c.), has scarcely more than a bit part in Xenophon's history. Lysander, the rival of Agesilaus for Spartan leadership, also gets short shrift in the pages of the Hellenika.
A new edition of this history is now published under the general editorship of Robert B. Strassler, who earlier brought out Landmark editions of Herodotus and Thucydides. Strassler is what is today known as an independent, which really means amateur, scholar, taking the word amateur in its root meaning of lover. After a successful career in business—oil drilling—he retired, and soon thereafter devoted himself to ancient history, the love of which he acquired as an undergraduate at Harvard and never lost.
The result of this devotion has been Strassler's Landmark editions. These books print the central texts in solid new translations, with marginal notes and useful footnotes, introduced by scholars, with still other scholars writing upon specialized topics pertinent to the central texts. Perhaps best of all in the Landmark editions are the maps, which are clear, plentiful, and immensely useful. One can read Herodotus and Thucydides over and over without having such basic knowledge as how large Attica and the Pelopponnese are, how far is the distance between Athens and Sparta, or Corinth from either. Robert Strassler is himself, one learns, without Greek, and he has devised books of immense aid for the Greekless Hellenophile, of whom your reviewer is one.
A Landmark edition is especially useful for Xenophon's Hellenika, for it is a work over which much controversy hangs. Until early in the 20th century, Xenophon's history was taken to be definitive. Then, in 1906, the papyrus of an incomplete manuscript since known as the Hellenica Oxyrhynchia was found in Egypt that contradicted Xenophon in many particulars. A later, Roman chronicle by Diodorus Siculus, who tends to agree with the Oxyrhynchia historian, has further reduced the reputation for accuracy of Xenophon's Hellenika. Yet another controversy has to do with when Xenophon wrote his history. Some scholars have him writing different parts of it at different stages of his life. One of Xenophon's strongest critics, the Oxford classicist G. L. Cawkwell, holds that the Hellenika isn't history at all but essentially memoirs, the memoirs written by an old man, and as Cawkwell notes, "old men forget." Yet, whatever his faults, however much he falls short of the precision required by modern historical scholarship, Xenophon remains immensely readable and instructive. Without Xenophon's Hellenika, as Robert Strassler notes, "we would know nothing or very little of many events and developments of that dynamic period" from the end of the Peloponnesian War through 362 b.c.
History, in its less technical but most attractive form is, as Macaulay had it, "philosophy teaching by example," which is history of the kind about which Xenophon cared most. Throughout the Hellenika, but also in the Anabasis, the virtuous actions of leaders are what Xenophon highlights and extols. Noble deeds please him most. Leaders (and they are chiefly Spartans) who consult the wishes of the gods show good sense. Bad conduct finds its recompense. To violate an oath is to court disaster: "Agesilaus, beaming with joy, told the envoys to announce to [the powerful Persian satrap] Tissaphernes that he was quite grateful, because Tissaphernes, by violating his oaths, now had the gods as his enemies and he had also, by this same action, made the gods the allies of the Greeks."
The gods may not always reward virtue in Xenophon, but they "are not indifferent to the impious and those who do wicked things." Courage, honor, sensible leadership, the orderly life—these are the virtues Xenophon most admires. Contra Gerald and Sara Murphy, not living but dying well is, in Xenophon, often the best revenge. At the Battle of Mantinea between the Thebans, led by Epaminondas, and the Spartans, led by Agesilaus, and which wrote fini to Spartan hegemony, he writes of the Athenians who, out of hatred for the Thebans, came to the aid of the Spartans, joining in the fighting:
With remarkable restraint, Xenophon chose not to mention that both his sons took part in this battle, and that one of them, Gryllos, died bravely in this battle, being, one of the Landmark Hellenika's footnotes reports, "depicted in the picture of the battle commissioned by the Athenians for one of their public buildings." For all that it wants in intellectual rigor, the Hellenika contains many fine novelistic touches. After the Athenian disaster of the naval battle at Aigospotamoi, Xenophon recounts the reaction when the news of the disaster reached Athens:
Who was it said that history begins in the novel and ends in the essay? Xenophon, perhaps more the novelist and essayist than pure historian, would have agreed.
Some of the most important historical events in Western history have wanted great writers to witness and record them. The French Revolution came inconveniently after the death of the Duc de Saint-Simon and before Benjamin Constant had come into literary maturity. No great writer was on the scene for the American Revolution, or for our Civil War. The history of Greece and Rome was more fortunate: Herodotus was there to record battles between the Greeks and the Persians, and Thucydides to record events, many of which he personally witnessed, in the Peloponnesian War. In Rome, Livy and Tacitus and Suetonius were in the same fortunate position. The existence of such writers makes history more vivid and ancient history, itself, perhaps of deeper interest than any other.
The endless making and breaking of treaties and busting up of alliances and dishonoring of pledges among Sparta and Athens and Persia, ending in the eclipse of all three, is the greater story of the Hellenika. The prolific Xenophon was, as we should say today, on the case, embedded, capturing a goodly portion of the life of his time, "the only historian from antiquity," as Arnaldo Momigliano wrote, "to rival Tacitus in the range of writing that came from his pen."
Denigrate him though many historical scholars have tried to do, they have succeeded in little more than putting a few dents in his shield. In the end, Xenophon stands, half a historian, half a philosopher, and wholly a marvelous writer.

The problem is that it doesn't work most of the time. Even a
broken clock is correct twice a day. Technical analysts
constantly trot out their 'broken clock' winners to suck you in
to the idea that you can profit without understanding what you
are investing on a fundamental basis.
What does a TA practitioner do when a presumed support level is
violated? They note the next support price that they have
identified from past trading. If the new, lower price holds, they
can declare victory. If not, it's on to yet another cheaper
Does price action indicate that the 'smart money' knows how a
quarterly report will look, or how the market will react to it?
Take a look at just a few days of trading from last week in the
shares of infrastructure play Aegion (
The company was due to report after the close on Wednesday April
. By mid-morning on Monday the stock was down 3.2% from the
previous Friday's close. Did that mean 'get out' because somebody
knew the news was going to be bad? By 11:00 am on Wednesday the
shares were up to $21.63, 5.8% higher than the previous week's
close. Did that make them a buy because insiders were sure the
quarterly report would be great?
Oops. A mini flash-crash in AEGN sent the stock reeling to a
weekly low of $19.72 in just seconds. Trend reversals like that
shouldn't be ignored! But wait, right after the open on Thursday,
AEGN popped to $22.47.
From Wednesday's low to Thursday's high the shares had moved
13.95%. The only thing those widely varied quotes told you for
sure was where you could buy or sell. From 4:00 pm on April 19 to
4:00 pm on April 26 the stock moved from $20.44 - $21.07. The
enormous gyrations were simply noise that needed to be ignored
unless you wanted to sell high or buy low. Doing that is the
antithesis of technical analysis.
I challenge all readers to show me any published technical
analysis that could have helped traders make money in the Russell
2000 over the past two months. Following trends would have caused
severe whiplash accompanied by extreme money hemorrhaging.
Do your accounts a favor. Stop reading about technical trading.
Do homework on fundamentals then buy when prices are low. Your
future net worth will thank you for making the effort.

Agent Accuses Saban of Paying Players
Success in college football breeds content and skepticism. And one sports agent thinks Nick Saban hasn't be playing by the rules in leading Alabama to two national titles in the last three years.
Appearing on a Pittsburgh radio show on Thursday, Ralph Cindrich — who played at Pitt in the 1970s and in the NFL — said, "Everybody has something on Nick Saban, for God's sake. And if he has a problem with anything I say, come on after me, big guy."
The interview began with Cindrich criticizing the NCAA's sanctions on Penn State from earlier in the week. Cindrich proceeded to rant against the NCAA and point to Saban as someone who doesn't follow rules.
Cindrich failed to provide any specifics of what he knew. He implied that Saban makes $7 million a year but only reports $5 million, with the remaining sum going toward paying Alabama players.
These are damning accusations, but without concrete proof they just sound like your typical drive-time sports radio caller.
That being said, it will certainly raise some eyebrows, especially coming just days after former Alabama player John Copeland said the Crimson Tide were recently outbid for recruit Reuben Foster.

This dark day united all Americans in horror, in terror, and in pain.With at least one exception: Nate Willoughby.I found out that our country had been attacked using our own commercial aircraft when my mother called me from town and said, "Turn on the news." Her tone of voice suggested the worst of the worst of the worst: so awful that you didn't ask "what channel?" because it didn't matter what channel. The president had been assassinated. There was some horrific, unthinkable natural disaster, probably in Virginia. Something so bad she couldn't say it.I hung up, t … [Read more...]

NLQ FAQ: The Bible & Accountability in Marriage – Part 2: The Marriage Covenant & Covenant Breaking

But the Bible does not teach that being a Christian is a formula, or that your actions will guarantee the response of someone else. Each person has his or her own choices to make, and ultimately, they are that person's choices alone. You cannot force your husband to do the right thing, and this brings us to the very difficult question asked at the end of Part 1:But what if my husband is completely unrepentant and refuses to change behaviors that, if I am honest with myself, I must admit a … [Read more...]
NLQ FAQ: The Bible & Accountability in Marriage – Part 1: Bringing Real Change to Your Relationship
by Kristen Rosser ~ aka:KR Wordgazer I have done my best to be a submissive and supportive 'helpmeet' to my husband in every way possible, but though I hardly want to admit it, it doesn't seem to be working the way I thought it would. Sometimes I feel torn between being a good wife and protecting my children from potential damage from a lack of Christian character in their father. You are saying Quiverfull teachings could be making matters worse. How, and why? And what can I do to help make things better?If you have read the FAQ entitled "The Bible and the Nature of Woman," you may remember that the words translated as "help meet" in the KJV are the two Hebrew words "ezer," meaning "str … [Read more...]
Throwing Out the Moral GPS
by SierraGrowing up in fundamentalism was like living with a moral GPS navigator installed in my head. Every decision was mapped out already; all I needed to do was listen to the voice telling me where to go. Sometimes I could stop and look at the map. Most of the time I was looking ahead, trying to live, listening and following directions as best I could.The GPS gave me directions for living: Read the Bible and pray every day. Obey your parents. Be respectful of elders.Those directions made sense. They were there to help me get where I wanted to go: straight ahead. There were no twists and turns yet.Then the directions got a little stranger: Listen to one of Branham's … [Read more...]

Sven had already landed a job at Wal-Mart in his town. Now it was my turn. I nervously sat through my job interview, not daring to hope that I might actually be on my way to earning money. When they called back with an offer, I could hardly contain my excitement.Not only did I have a job, I had a real driver's license. No longer did I need the supervision of an adult driver. I could take myself anywhere I wanted, whenever I wanted. The freedom was intoxicating, and I found myself driving everywhere at the slightest excuse.Now that I was … [Read more...]
Daughter of the Patriarchy: The Waiting
by SierraI loved driving. I'd always known I would. As a child, I collected Hot Wheels cars until they numbered in the hundreds. When I was twelve, my mother decided to teach me to drive in case my father's rage spilled over completely and I needed to escape. It was both terrifying and exhilarating. The car felt huge and seemed to move so much faster when my hands were on the wheel. I crowed with pride as I successfully navigated the winding roads of our rural neighborhood, passing a UPS truck with wide eyes and short breath.As I grew older, I periodically stowed away money for a car. At my bakery job, I thought I might finally have a chance when I amassed $1,000 – a year's savings. A … [Read more...]
Reflections on what went wrong
by Jo @ Woman ReclaimedWe're rapidly approaching the anniversary of when I lost my life as I knew it. I'm finally to a point where I feel strong enough to boldly face where we went, what went wrong and what we messed up so very badly. We fell down the rabbit hole of Patriarchal matrimony. We didn't necessarily mean to do so. Certainly, we never thought we were down so far as we truly were. We thought we didn't fully believe in wife-only submission. We thought we never believed that the wife's salvation is based upon the Husband's favor. In more ways than I ever understood until the journey of this last year, we did fall into the trap.Just in case anyone is wondering what my opinion on … [Read more...]
Daughter of the Patriarchy: "Why do you look that cow in the face?"
By SierraCourtship took my church by storm in the 1990s. While I never read I Kissed Dating Goodbye, I was given a number of books about marriage and intimacy and taught explicitly that dating was preparation for divorce. Having never dated, I was not in a position to protest. I listened patiently to the story of the couple in my church who had married without so much as holding hands. They were the happiest couple after Eamon and Pearl, so clearly they'd done something right. I learned that smitten young Message couples would walk around holding each end of a shared stick, in order to express their affection without risking finger-to-finger contact.

Daughter of the Patriarchy: The Sickness ~ Pt 2
by SierraWilliam Branham never claimed to be a faith healer. That is, he claimed that it was the power of the individual's faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ that healed their diseases. Christ had finished the work; there was nothing left to do but believe. In a 1955 sermon entitled Jehovah-Jireh, Branham explained that faith was the force that brought healing to the believer: If I could heal anyone, I'd come down here, and go to each one and heal everyone. I would, if I could. But I can't. And there's no other man can. And--and if Jesus was here, He could not, only if you'd believe. Look. That sounds strange, that Jesus could not heal unless you'd believe. When He went to His Own … [Read more...]
Daughter of the Patriarchy: The Sickness ~ Pt 1

I knew that against my will I was edging closer, and would someday have no choice but to jump in. But I looked frantically for an outlet or a bridge, digging in my heels against the edges of the pit. The name of the abyss was womanhood.I was taught that the Bible recognized three classes of people: men, women, and children. In God's plan for the family, authority descended directly in that order. Men obeyed God, women obeyed men, and children obeyed all three. For those living within this scheme, God … [Read more...]

Shareholders Elect 10 Directors at The Walt Disney Company Annual Meeting15:34 EDT Tuesday, March 13, 2012 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Business Wire) -- Shareholders of The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) at the 2012 Annual Meeting today elected 10 members of the Board of Directors and approved the Board recommendations on the Company's auditor, its stock incentive plan and the advisory resolution on executive compensation, based on preliminary results. Immediately following the annual meeting at the Westin Crown Center, Robert A. Iger, as expected, was formally elected Chairman in addition to his current role as Chief Executive Officer. The Board, as previously announced, took this action to secure Mr. Iger's leadership through his expected retirement in 2016 to provide for an effective, seamless succession and management transition and a continuity of the Company's proven strategy. The Board of Directors also unanimously elected Orin C. Smith, 69, as the new independent lead director. Mr. Smith, former President and CEO of Starbucks Corp., joined the board in 2006 and has served as chairman of the audit committee. Additional details regarding the independent lead director role are set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines. "Orin brings extraordinary leadership, integrity and independence to the lead director position," said Aylwin B. Lewis, chairman of the Board's Governance and Nominating Committee. "This structure will promote the continued exercise of independent judgment by the board." At the annual meeting, outgoing Chairman John E. Pepper Jr. introduced members of the Board of Directors and highlighted important moves by the Company during his seven years. "There are many things to be proud of and that give me confidence in the future of your company," Mr. Pepper said. "We've made bold, strategic acquisitions, giving Disney new franchises and injecting new creative potential into the company. We've expanded aggressively into new markets, including in the rapidly growing regions of China, India and Russia, which offer unlimited potential for our future." Mr. Pepper also praised Disney employees for their passion and commitment to creating exceptional entertainment experiences. Mr. Iger commented on Disney's exceptional shareholder return and record financial performance. "For Fiscal 2011, Disney generated record revenues of $40.9 billion – up 7% over last year. We also achieved a record $4.8 billion in net income, up 21% over the previous year. And our diluted earnings per share also increased – by 24% to a record $2.52," he said.

Langhammer Sheryl Sandberg Aylwin B. Lewis Orin C. Smith Monica C.

Shareholders also approved the advisory resolution on executive compensation. Final voting tallies are subject to certification by the Company's inspector of elections, and will be included in the Company's report to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within the next week.
