The North Korean Nightmare
It's later than you think.
Aug 30, 2004, Vol. 9, No. 47 • By JOSEPH P. FERGUSON and NICHOLAS EBERSTADT
E.H. CARR'S powerful little book The Twenty Years' Crisis presciently argued in 1939 that the events leading Europe to war were not sudden and new, but rather two decades in the making; that interwar Europe's crisis was rooted in power politics, framed by the insatiable ambitions of revisionist states, and intensified by the stubborn unwillingness of some European (and American) leaders to recognize these unpleasant but unyielding realities. Though written in another time and of another place, The Twenty Years' Crisis could be offered as briefing material today for policymakers struggling to make sense of the international drama revolving around the nuclear weapons program of North Korea.
North Korea's nuclear crisis, of course, is not exactly breaking news. If, like Professor Carr, we wish to date the duration of the crisis, we would be obliged to look back many years: perhaps to Pyongyang's November 1992 refusal to cooperate with the inspectors from the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) who were attempting to reconstruct the full history of two suspect sites in North Korea's nuclear program; or to North Korea's March 1993 announcement of its intention to withdraw from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) that gave IAEA inspectors authority to pursue their inquiry; or even to the attendant March 1993 declaration by North Korea's Kim Jong Il of a "semi-state of war" and warning that "a touch-and-go grave situation has been created in which war may break out at any moment."
Indeed, the following depiction of the crisis on the Korean peninsula, written by Paul Bracken in the fall of 1993, might just as well have been published yesterday:
North Korea is in a crisis that threatens its existence. . . . The situation is extraordinarily dangerous because these are the highest stakes possible. The Korean Peninsula, moreover, is heavily militarized and lacking in crisis management capacities. Dealing with nuclear proliferation in this high-stakes setting will be much more difficult than solving proliferation problems in other countries. . . . The absolutist regime in the North has limited maneuvering room and must operate within very shaky military and economic structures. Although there are risks of pressing it too hard, a nuclear-armed North Korea would constitute the long-feared nightmare of the international community: an over-armed state in a desperate position; with unstable decision-makers and poor command and control.
To be sure, the current particulars of the North Korean nuclear crisis differ in some respects from those a decade earlier. But it is nevertheless the same crisis, shaped by the same fundamentals. And like Carr's Twenty Years' Crisis, this Korean crisis may fester for years to come. But just as in interwar Europe, the balance is inherently unstable. Some decisive event or events will finally spark dramatic--perhaps explosive--changes that profoundly reconfigure the region's security equation.
For most of the actors embroiled in the drama--the United States, South Korea, Japan, China, and Russia--the preferred outcome to the crisis would be a comprehensive and peaceful resolution through diplomatic negotiations. But in this drama, as in Europe's interwar drama, the most desirable outcome may well be the least likely. Given the character and objectives of the drama's central actor--the regime in Pyongyang--it is difficult to see how the contending interests of the principal parties could be harmonized. This is not to suggest that we shall not see international talks convened or "breakthroughs" claimed. (We have, after all, already seen plenty of that over the past decade; more of the same likely lies ahead.) It is instead to suggest that such talks and "breakthroughs" are exceedingly unlikely to defuse the ongoing crisis itself.
The North Korean nuclear crisis of 2002-2004 has been treated as a terrible surprise by practically all of the governments that have become embroiled in it. Before that eruption, it is well to remember, cautious optimism about a newly constructive attitude in Pyongyang had been spreading in international diplomatic circles for several years. And the optimists seemed to have facts on their side, for in the period between late 1999 and October 2002--that is to say, until the month Washington confronted North Korea with evidence that it was running a secret nuclear program in contravention of many pledges and treaty obligations--relations between Pyongyang and its neighbors (indeed, with the entire international community) were arguably better than at any previous point since the end of the Korean War.

Alaskan Malamute are 'gentle, mellow dogs' says Alaskan Malamute Club of the United Kingdom
Posted: February 18, 2014|
The Alaskan Malamute is the largest of the Arctic dog breeds.
The breed is extremely loyal and intelligent, sweet and most affectionate toward its master.
They are described as being great with children who are old enough to play with him safely.

They are very friendly and therefore are not suitable as guard dogs.
Alaskan Malamutes were originally bred as sled dogs for work in the Arctic, but are now popular as family pets.
The Alaskan Malamute Club of the United Kingdom describes the breed as a 'affectionate, friendly, loyal, devoted companion' on its website.
It says an ideal Alaskan Malamute is 'heavily boned, powerfully built' - and are also very intelligent animals, though they can be hard to train.
Alaskan Malamute is similar to a husky which is not a banned breed. Males grow to about 85 lb (39kg) and females to 75 lb (34kg).
The dog, similar to a husky, is not a banned breed.

NVIDIA TNT2 - Switch from Monitor to TV and back???
I have recently bought a cheap TNT2 32MB with TV-out.
When installed under Windows, I'm able to switch from monitor-mode to tv-mode and back. Can this be done in Linux? If so, how?
I've read a lot of threads dealing with twinview, but it seems that my card doesn't support twinview... nor do I need it. Can anyone help me and tell me which parms do I have to add to my xf86config?
I have also read that it's possible to boot on TV-only but I don't want to do that because the TV attached to the TNT2 is in another room and away from the computer. I just want to fire up my xine (or similar) and watch my films via TV-out, that's all.
does really noboy know a solution?

Swish, spit, protest: The new Mass. tooth brushing law
(Brushing at school. A bad idea?)
You probably missed this, with all the U.S. Senate election excitement, but a new law quietly went into effect Jan. 1 that may have more of a day-to-day impact on our daily lives than anything Scott Brown does.
That's right -- government mandated toothbrushing.
No not you, silly. The kids.
The state Department of Early Education & Care is requiring all children in day care longer than four hours and/or who eat a meal to have their teeth brushed on-site. (Parents send in the brush, which is to be replaced every few months, or if the kid is out sick.)
Some schools are adopting the regulations for older kids as well, so we'll certainly be seeing more of it in the coming months.
Parents can opt out of this rule, and from what I hear anecdotally, quite a few are angrily doing so.
The weird thing is that these are the sort of moms and dads who buy organic meat and serve the kids edamame, brussels sprouts and quinoa. Their kids are prohibited from watching TV or eating McNuggets, yet the parents object to the one simple thing that could affect their little cherub's dental health the most?
What gives?
The reasons I've heard include a strenuous objection to being forced by the state and/or the idea of a bunch of kids swishing and spitting one after the other as both gross and germ-spreading.
But the state forces us to do a lot of things that protect our kids' health -- car seats and vaccines jump to mind. And in terms of swishing and spitting, most daycares are supervising the process to minimize the mess, the spit and the quantity of toothpaste enthusiastically smeared on the wall.
So what's the problem here? Boston.com Moms Nation, tell us, should your kids be required to brush teeth at school? Have any of you opted out of the new law? Dentists, nurses or hygienists out there, what do you think? Leave a comment, or drop an email to email@example.com.

A former Veco Corp. executive tapped Saturday to fill a vacant seat on the Anchorage School Board said Sunday he was declining the appointment because of concerns that controversy over his past would harm the district.
Thomas Corkran, who served as Veco's corporate controller and chief information officer through the company's most notoriously corrupt period and then dismantled it in the aftermath, said in a telephone interview Sunday that he had notified Board President Jeannie Mackie of his decision.
"At this time, I believe putting the Board's interests above my own is most important, and it is apparent that my appointment would be a tremendous distraction to the Board's mission and purpose for the students and teachers of this district," Corkran wrote in an e-mail to Mackie. "For this reason, I respectfully will decline appointment to the Board."
Veco's chief executive, Bill Allen, and vice president, Rick Smith, were at the center of a long-running investigation into Alaska political corruption. Both pleaded guilty in 2007 to federal charges of bribery and conspiracy, became witnesses for the prosecution, and eventually went to prison. Allen was a key witness against then-U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens, and both testified against state legislators.
Corkran spent the bulk of his professional life -- more than 16 years -- as a Veco executive but the connection received the barest of mentions during Saturday's School Board meeting. He didn't reveal it in either his resume or his official interview, and no board member asked him who he worked for all those years.
He remains president of a Veco spinoff company, MST Ventures, created around the time most of Veco's assets were sold to the Denver-based engineering firm, CH2M Hill. Alaska corporate records show the other board members are Allen's three adult children. And he's manager of another spinoff, Seattle-based AEL LLC, according to Washington state records. He said in a phone interview that he rarely speaks to Allen and never visited him in prison, but does talk to the Allen children about business matters.
Veco sales documents listed him as a "key" Veco employee.
Mackie and another School Board member interviewed Sunday, Kathleen Plunkett, said they were unaware of his long history with Veco until a Daily News reporter told them about it. A Daily News columnist had questioned the appointment in a piece posted online Saturday night.
"I'm not sure if he was an employee or not, what exactly his position is," Plunkett said. "But I knew he was not indicted."
Don Smith, another board member, said he knew Corkran had worked for Veco "prior to all the fun things that happened. My recollection was he never was involved in any of the skullduggery."
In his three-page resume submitted to the School Board, Corkran didn't once name Veco. Yet at the same time, he did name the company he worked for earlier in his career, the Big Eight accounting firm of Touche Ross. He also didn't mention Veco in his three-minute presentation to the board.
A district written statement e-mailed Saturday just after the board picked Corkran described him only as a "self-employed financial consultant."
For years before the company was sold in a major deal negotiated by Corkran in 2007, Veco executives were among the state's most active campaign contributors. The corruption cases revealed that the company had a program of "special bonuses" paid to executives, who then used the money to make campaign contributions.
Veco president Pete Leathard, Smith, Roger Chan, Jamie Slack and Corkran all received the bonuses, Allen told investigators. Corkran said the bonuses were considered taxable income and were legal as far as the IRS was concerned. But state law bars reimbursements for campaign contributions.
Asked whether the public could have trusted him given his high position in a company marred by corruption, Corkran said he knows "the wounds are fresh" and that some people will wrongly blame others for the bad acts of two individuals.
The only Veco executives charged were Allen and Smith.
"There's two people in the company who caused issues and problems of which nobody else at the company was involved in, and that to me is the tragedy in the whole deal," Corkran said in a phone interview. He said he was glad he was able to secure the sale of Veco to CH2M Hill and save thousands of jobs.
During the Saturday meeting, board member Natasha von Imhof spoke in support of Corkran because of his financial expertise and highlighted his role in the complex Veco sale. She mentioned that the district has launched a new budget process, is in negotiations with the teachers' union, and that the sides are far apart.
"We are in a budget freefall right now," von Imhof said. "All of those aspects right now lead me to support Tom Corkran because of his CPA experience and his budget experience at this time, as well as the negotiation that you had with Veco and selling Veco to CH2M Hill."
That at least aired his Veco history, von Imhof said in a phone interview on Sunday. But pressed on his role with the company, Imhof finally said, "It didn't occur to me to ask him."
She and Corkran are Campbell Lake neighbors and family friends whose kids play together, she said in the interview. She called him a brilliant man with integrity and said he would have been a wonderful board member.
Corkran was von Imhof's campaign treasurer during her successful 2012 campaign, and he contributed $500 to her election bid in December 2011, according to Alaska Public Offices Commission records. She didn't disclose that relationship during the board debate over the two finalists and when asked about it, retorted that fellow board member Smith also was a donor .
Mackie said she knew from von Imhof that he had negotiated the Veco sale.
"That is all I knew. I didn't know that he was an executive for Bill Allen or any of that other information," Mackie said.
Mackie said she was disappointed that he had not revealed his role. But board members also didn't probe Corkran during Saturday's interviews, even to ask who he worked for 16 years as "corporate controller" responsible for worldwide accounting, as his resume says. A video of the meeting is posted on the School District Web site.
"I was more focusing on what he had done. I wasn't thinking about who it was for," Mackie said. "That's a lesson learned."
Corkran said his approach to resume-writing doesn't include listing employers.
"I was not trying to hide Veco," Corkran said in the interview. "And I don't think I did hide Veco."
Anyone could Google him and find out his history, he said.
But had the Veco connection been fully aired, it might have hurt his chances, said both Mackie and Smith, two of his supporters on Saturday.
"You're affiliated with those terrible, terrible people," Smith said. "Therefore, somehow, you must be one of them. That probably would have sunk him."
Corkran was one of more than 40 people who sought to fill a post that opened up when Gretchen Guess resigned to move to Florida, and he was one of 31 candidates still in the running as of Saturday. By early afternoon, the decision was down to two, Corkran and Kameron Perez-Verdia.
The board initially split 3-to-3 between those two. Plunkett then changed her vote.
Mackie said she checked with Perez-Verdia, and he told her is still interested in serving. She and von Imhof said they support him in the job. The School Board is meeting Monday and will have to vote anew on the appointment. If board members approve Perez-Verdia, he would be sworn in at the Monday meeting, she said.
"It's just been a tough month," Mackie said. The former school Superintendent Jim Browder, who only was hired July 1, suddenly announced to staff on March 1 that he was leaving. He was already interviewing for jobs elsewhere.
The board doesn't need any more controversies to overshadow its work, Mackie said.
"I think he did the right thing," she said of Corkran's decision.

Tightly written thrillers like The Marching Season have made best-selling novelist Daniel Silva a favorite of readers everywhere. In The Kill Artist, he paints an absorbing portrait of a reluctant hero's attempt to thwart an old enemy to preserve a precarious peace.
After the assassination of his wife and son, Gabriel Allon retires from his brutal anti-terrorist career and loses himself in his previous cover job: art restoration. But when Tariq al-Hourani, the Palestinian terrorist responsible for his family's death, begins a killing spree designed to destroy Middle East peace talks, Gabriel once again slips into the shadowy world of international intrigue. In a global game of hide-and-seek, the motives of Gabriel and Tariq soon become more personal than political.
Filled with vivid action and a fascinating cast of supporting characters, The Kill Artist delivers pulse-pounding suspense, carried to a startling climax by the tension-packed narration of George Guidall.
©2000 Daniel Silva (P)2001 Recorded Books
"Reluctant Assassin"
Meet Gabriel Allon, reluctant assassin. "The Kill Artist," published in 2000, introduces us to Daniel Silva's popular Gabriel Allon series. Yes, the series gets better as it progresses: "The Kill Artist" is not its best entry. In fact, I think that each entry gets better than the last one, reflecting the growing skill of the author. None-the-less, I still recommend that anyone wishing to listen to the subsequent Gabriel Allon novels should start here, with "The Kill Artist," and then listen to the novels in sequence. The Gabriel Allon character has a lot of complexity, as do the plots of all his adventures. Although Daniel Silva does a good job summarizing all that you need to know for each successive episode, you will still miss out on the richness of this series if you pick it up in the middle. (In fact, I did just that, not knowing any better at the time. Now, I am enjoying going back and listening to the series in the proper order ... and getting so much more out of it than I did the first time 'round.)
Author Daniel Silva is a pretty complex character, himself. Raised in a devoutly Catholic family, he converted to Judaism in adulthood, as a result of his marriage. Now he writes compelling novels about an Israeli Mossad assassin (although, curiously, the Mossad is never mentioned in any of his Gabriel Allon novels -- it is just called "the Office"), in which we learn more than we may have ever wanted to know about the Holocaust, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, international politics, and recent world history. Whether or not these novels suit one's taste in fiction, one cannot deny the deep, penetrating intelligence and profound, cynical knowledge of world events and human nature that emanates from all of Daniel Silva's novels. As some previous reviewers have noted, "The Kill Artist" has some pretty dark aspects to it -- don't buy it for light escape fiction -- but it does offer some intriguing, disturbing, and surprisingly fair-minded insights into current headlines and the human psychology behind them.
George Guidall, as always, does an excellent job narrating "The Kill Artist." He has a lovely, warm, mature voice, that he can adapt into many different characters, including female characters. Although he draws some of his accents from his "generic" bag, he uses a pretty credible French accent for this audiobook.
"Felt like things had been done before."
Nothing grabbed me. The story was ok but several minor things bothered me, so I'll list them below.
When I finished this I thought huh, the hero didn't do anything heroic and he did not solve the bad guy problem. The good action was done by another. Ok, but that kind of let me down - not much hero development here.
Throughout the book the good guys were not doing smart things which made it less fun to root for them. In a few scenes the bad guys came out ahead due to luck. For example: the bad guy dresses as a waiter to get into a meeting of dignitaries. The front door guard let him in even though his name was not on the list - because the bad guy said they told me they needed extra staff. A guard let him into a private room because the bad guy said one of the top aids told me to bring this food. When the bad guy was in the kitchen, the boss of the waiters gave him work to do. The boss should have known who his employees were. He paid them. The boss did not even ask where he came from. This was too easy - using luck.
I was disappointed the following was not shown. A woman was being trained as an agent. She was told to figure out who was following her. She reported three people and was wrong. Next time she reported three people and was right. I wanted to see what she saw and why she concluded what she did.
Because a woman loved Gabriel she did amazing things for him. I wanted to see him reciprocate some kind of feeling for her, but he showed no feelings. That was a let down. It made him less sympathetic.
Something unexpected was revealed at the end. It was quickly told. It was a neat surprise. The details behind that could have been a good story. Not required but I wanted to know more.
I did not care for the narrator George Guidall. He made Gabriel the hero sound like a clerk or librarian. It didn't fit the sexy macho agent. And he made the bad guy sound wimpy. Other parts were ok, but overall his voice was not as good for me as other narrators.
Genre: spy suspense thriller
"why didn't i enjoy this book more?"
I can't quite put my finger on the problem. I expected to become fully engaged by the story and enthralled by the narration, but it just didn't happen.
The story should have elicited some excitement, suspense, tension, but it just seem to drone on. George Guidall is one of the best readers in the business but perhaps his voice is now too soft to narrate a thriller or perhaps even the great Guidall couldn't instill life into this story. Either way, this listen was a bit of a disappointment.
This is the second Daniel Silva I've downloaded - I also listened to Death in Vienna - and it was the author's second chance because I do love spy/thrillers. Still, there are better books out there and better ways to spend a credit. Keep looking. Don't settle for merely OK.
"Good Spy Novel"
I like and have read most of the Gabriel Allon novels, and returned to this one just because it's been awhile.
It is a little on the dark side, but all in all a good book. Allon is a little too "super duper" but I'll take that to the modern anti-hero so popular in other such novels.
"A poor showing by a good author"
I listened to a newer work by Silva and loved it. So I went back to the beginning and was horribly disappointed.
Sliva uses constant profanity to try and demonstrate the tough grittiness of his characters. Simply showing us who they are would be much more effective. The constant use of "F***" as well as the excessive sexuality distract from and weaken the story line to the point that I finally quit listening half way through.
George Guidall gives a fine performance and is easy to listen to. He is one of the better readers I have heard. His voicing for various characters is appropriate, consistent and well done. Silva's story lines move rapidly from character to character and Guidall's voicing of various characters makes the action easier to follow.
I am glad that I listened to a more recent Silva novel first. Silva has learned how to richly develop a hard, gritty character without resorting to trite use of profanity and obscenity. Unfortunately he didn't learn this early enough in life to save this book.
"Perhaps it's just not my taste"
The Daniel Silva series was recommended to me by a good friend and I guess I expected more. Maybe it was the narrator - not one of my favorites although I realize he has been doing this a long time and has many avid followers. Most everything I've listened to narrated by him falls a bit flat. I really don't like the way he does women at all. Makes them all sound weak and pouty, no matter who the author is.
The plot of the book felt forced in some places, like the author had to figure out how to write himself out of a hole and did it the most expedient way. And perhaps I just don't love this genre enough, although there are some writers in this genre I enjoy very much. Yet, I will listen to the others in this series that I already purchased, because, well I own them now and maybe they will grow on me, or not.
"Very good but to dark for me"
I know most people who love Vince Flynn/Alex Berenson books love Daniel Silva. I've read and listened to a few and while I do appreciate the realism in his books I also am a bit turned off by the darkness that tends to be in them. Also a lot of sex scenes tend to be described in his books. I leave 4 stars as I did mostly enjoy the book and I love George Guidall. 4 stars because I think he is a very talented writer but he's just not for me.
"I've had dental work that was less painful ...."
Ever have a friend start telling you a story and say "hey, let me give you a little background" ... and 30 minutes later they're still going in circles giving you background that really has nothing to do with nothing? If so, you can relate with my reaction to this book. At any number of points, I wanted to scream "JUST GET TO THE POINT!"
I'm a pretty sophisticated reader, but this book is painful. The author will spend ten minutes discussing every little detail in scenes that are effectively 20 or 30 seconds of action. I expect this in the first half of any book as the plot is being setup ... but I swear that this author (at least in this book) actually gets MORE detailed as the book unfolds. The plot is great ... the characters are interesting ... the author clearly has talent ... but I'm just not spending any more credits on this author/series.
"An Assassin with a conscience"
I have had this book on my shelf for some time now and decided to see for myself if Daniel Silva's Israeli assassin, Gabriel Allon, was as good as I have heard. I can honestly say that Gabriel did not fit into my image of an assassin.
As the story begins, a mysterious stranger moves into a old cottage in an isolated English village, Port Navas Cornwall. The first chapter is told from the viewpoint of Peel, a boy of around 10, who had also recently moved to the village with his mother. Therefore, it takes several chapters to find out the stranger is Gabriel Allon.
Gabriel was a world renowned art restorer, the cover job he had in order to hide the fact that he worked for the Israeli intelligence service. However, he "retired" from the clandestine service nearly 10 years previously when a terrorist he was contracted to take out placed a bomb under his car, killing his son and turning his wife into an empty shell. After that, Gabriel went into a self imposed exile and immersed himself into restoring paintings in the hope of forgetting the past.
Then the Israeli ambassador and his wife are killed by terrorists in Paris, and Ari Shamron, head of the intelligence service, discovers the assassin was none other than Tariq, the Palestinian who destroyed Gabriel's family. Shamron trusts no one, and secretly goes to England to bring Gabriel back for one more mission. Gabriel can not refuse, even though he knows killing Tariq will not bring his family back.
In other novels featuring assassins, they tend to be cold and calculating, justifying their actions by believing the target deserved to die for their transgressions. Gabriel, however, has flashbacks and feels guilty for what he has done. Benjamin Stone, a wealthy backer of the Israeli operation, describes Gabriel as "an assassin with a conscience."
Given all the baggage Gabriel is carrying around, I had my doubts as to whether he would be an effective assassin. Add in the fact that he has been inactive for nearly 10 years and he was at a distinct disadvantage.
I thought the book started out slowly, but it gradually picked up its pace before finally reaching its climax. But even after the climax, there were more plot twists which tied the story into a neat little ball. Gabriel seemed to enjoy restoring paintings much more than his other line of work. Therefor, this is not the typical testosterone filled prose that one would associate with a story about an assassin, but rather paints a softer, more human side of the occupation.
There are several more books in the series, so I am anxious to find out what would bring him out of retirement again
"First audiobook"
Liked the suspense and story line. Recommend to anyone who likes suspense thrillers. Bad good as reading the book.

Bailamos? I love to dance. Or lets talk and get to know each other.
I don't like trying to describe myself. I let my actions speak about who I am. I love being a math teacher, playing basketball, and spending time with my family and friends. I don't just go to church once a week, but rather, I'm active and involved. I'm looking for someone so we can share our time together. Whether it's going out on the town, or staying in and enjoying each others company. No amount of words can truly show a person's character, so if you are willing, lets get to know each other and give it a shot.

In music I don't listen to hard rock or metal, but basically anything goes. Old school to pop, rap to country. E igual en espanol escucho de todo. Desde merengue a rancheras, baladas a bachata, nortenas a cumbias, de rock en espanol a corridos.
I like going out dancing (especially merengue and salsa), watching a movie, enjoying a conversation over a good meal. Even if it's a small place without all the hype, the food and the company make it great.
I like to read though I don't do it often enough. I liked the Left Behind series, Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code and, Angels and Demons.

Abstract: Let W be a real reflexive Banach space, dense in a Hilbert space H and with dual . Let the injection be continuous and compact. We consider the nonlinear integral equation
where a, f, A are given and u is the unknown. The kernel maps into R and f takes values in H. The nonlinear function A is a maximal monotone mapping .
Making use of the theory of maximal monotone operators we prove an existence result on (1). This result is used to obtain approximate solutions to the related nonlinear hyperbolic differential equation .

To many environmentalists and investors alike, the clean energy technology sector appears to hold great promise.
But regulators are warning individual investors to be careful of green energy investment scams that appear to be on the rise as interest in alternative energy grows thanks to high oil prices and concerns about climate change.
"It seems like everybody's going green these days -- even fraudsters," the Financial Regulatory Authority warned last week. "However, the 'green' they are after is your money."
FINRA said green energy scams "dangle the promise of large gains from investing in companies purportedly involved in developing or producing alternative, renewable or waste energy products."
There are legitimate clean energy investment options out there, but FINRA says investors enthusiastic about this sector need to do their homework.
Green energy frauds may involve classic "pump and dump" scams that tout thinly traded stocks to create an artificial demand before the perpetrators sell their shares, leaving investors with worthless stock.
Last week's Investor Alert from FINRA cited a solar-panel stock touted as "set for a 200% gain" and a Chinese wind-power company called a "one in a million" opportunity that could jump "51X its current level." FINRA did not identify the companies in question.
Other possible green-energy frauds may employ a Ponzi scheme in which incoming funds from new investors are used to pay phony returns to earlier investors.
FINRA pointed to a recent case brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission that charges promoters of "eco-friendly opportunities" with luring 300 investors into a $30 million Ponzi scheme. The SEC charges the promoters falsely told investors they would be backing a "carbon negative" housing community in rural Tennessee and in a "biochar" charcoal substitute made from organic waste, promising returns ranging from 17 percent to "hundreds of percent" annually.
Representatives of the two companies named in the SEC's civil complaint -- Mantria Corp. of Bala Cynwyd, Pa., and Speed of Wealth LLC of Centennial, Colo. -- have denied the charges.
Some signs of a possible fraud, says FINRA:
Unsolicited communication such as faxes, emails, text messages and blog postings.
Seminars that use short-term incentives and bonuses, along with aggressive sales tactics urging you to liquidate savings.
Claims about the "next big thing."
Products that are in development stages or exist as "working prototypes."
Pressure to invest immediately.
Steps you can take to avoid falling prey to such tactics include considering the source of the information, exercising skepticism, reading a company's SEC filings and finding out where a touted stock trades.
Pump-and-dump scams typically involve penny stocks that do not meeting the listing requirements of the major stock exchanges such as the Nasdaq or New York Stock Exchange. Instead, they usually are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the Pink Sheets.
As I mentioned earlier, there are legitimate clean energy investment vehicles out there for those who believe in this sector. My suggestion to small investors is that they explore exchange-traded funds that specialize in the alternative energy industry.

Thank you Very much for being with us here today!
Thank you for having me.
Thank you Very much for being with us here today!
Thank you for having me.
First I would like to say a huge Thank You to Ginger for taking the time to answers these questions. Also for allowing me to share Cody and Charlies first kiss. You Rock!
I am a huge fan of first kisses. They definitely make or break the story for me. This one, well why don't you read it yourself……..
Thank you for taking the time to answer some of my questions.
TM: What possessed you to write this series?
JH: It was something I just needed to get out of my head. It started with 3-4 scenes. I put those scenes on the backburner for a few years and then one day I opened the document again. From there it just poured out. I was really inspired by the idea of making eye contact with someone and having something so strong pass between you that it changes your world. I like that David is helpless to his feelings for Olivia because of who she is inside, not because she's just another beautiful woman. And I wanted to explore what would happen if you had that moment – but it was too late, because you already belonged to someone else.
TM: Are any of the characters based off anyone? If so, which characters and who from?
JH: David has always lived in my head. He's the perfect man to me – a man who knows when to be hard and when to be soft. David doesn't put up with bullshit from anyone except his one weakness – Olivia. He's not based on anyone except my idea of male perfection.
Olivia probably has quite a bit of myself in her. I won't tell you which parts though. J Before I wrote this story, I read Anna Karenina and felt inspired by it. That also deals with adultery. Adultery has always fascinated me though, so I know I would've chosen that topic anyway, but I really did enjoy the story and Anna's character. Some people find her frustrating – some people find Olivia frustrating – but I don't. She's a little bit of a tortured soul, like Olivia.
One thing that bothers me about this genre is when the friendships aren't developed. I think the friends you keep says a lot about who you are, and they can see things you don't. So when a female character has no close friends, I find that odd. I have very close friends of all kinds, so there are probably pieces of them in each character, just like there are pieces of myself.
Oh, I will say – when I lived abroad, there was one particularly creepy French guy who was always leering at me and other girls – so I think in my head, Arnaud is basically him.
TM: What is one thing that stands out for you in Olivia and David's relationship?
JH: It's so god damn intense. It's almost like they can't live without each other. I believe they can't be happy without each other, not in the truest sense of the word.
TM: After looking back on the story is there anything that you would have liked to add to it?
JH: I feel like I'm just a vessel for this story. It wrote itself. There are times when I've doubted something about it or thought I should've done something differently, but then I think, do I really believe that? This story had to unfold the way it did – that's what I believe. At the end of the day, I wrote the book I wanted to read, so I'm pretty content with it.
Hello Heather, Thank You so much for taking the time to do this interview with me.
Why did you title your book, Love Notes?
The title came to me instantly. I have a huge love of music. I'm a singer so it's a very large part of my life. The Love part because Charlie found love with a boy as well as a good friend in Tori and she needed to find love within herself. Notes because music is a huge part of Charlie's life. It's her escape from reality. We all need an escape and music was hers.
What was the inspiration behind wanting to write this story?
I was verbally abused by my dad. This isn't my exact story but there are parts of it that are mine. This is a harsher version. The comment at the dinner table; that was something my dad always said whenever we had company over for dinner. It was humiliating.
Was this a hard story for you to write?
Oh my gosh, YES! It brought the past back up and got me reliving some of this all over again. Chapter 18, I cried like a baby while writing it.
What was the message you wanted to get across to readers, with this story?
Verbal abuse is never okay. It's worse than physical abuse, you just don't see the scars. They're internal and never go away. I wanted people to read it who have been through something similar and be able to take something away from it. I want girls to walk away not feeling so quite alone. Also, I want the overall message to be that nobody can make you happy but you. You alone define your self-worth.
How long have you been a blogger?
I have been blogging since September of 2012 and I love it. I love being able to share my love of books with others.
Did you intend on becoming an author?
I've been writing my whole life and I've wanted to write a book for over 20 years, I just never thought I would be any good at it. I questioned by ability to do it and I honestly thought I would tank at it.
I never had anyone tell me that I could do whatever I wanted to in life or that I was capable of doing anything. I was afraid to even try, until a year ago. I wrote out a bucket list of things that I wanted to start to accomplish. I decided to start on a story with subject matter that I knew a lot about. Something I had experience in and I hoped that my story would touch others.
Do you think that being able to publish books in electronic format has been beneficial to the writing world?
Definitely! E-books seem to be the way these days. I read an article that said the e-books are the way of the future and I do believe they're right. However, I do love my paperbacks!
Your second book is about Charlie's best friend Tori, are you going to be taking this story in a different direction?
Yes, I'm going in a completely different direction. Charlie's story was about verbal abuse, but Tori's is something a little darker.
What do you want readers to know about you and your series?
I just want to write a series about everyday people that other's can relate to. I want readers to feel my character's, but take something away from it. Nothing is too outlandish in my stories and they all have a little bit of "Heather" in them. Tori's has a lot of 'me' in her story. It' based on some of my experiences in my past.

Classic Interior Design Perspectives
This is my actual job. I work drawing perspectives of spaces to be build(and many times designing and take decisions on what I will draw). I studied fine arts and at this very moment I am working to create my own 2d animation enterprise. I have work in many other fields as well but to this date, I have a full time job in an architecture studio.
As much as I hated my job originally, I have grown fond to it. No to the furniture which I would never have in my own house but to the challenge of doing a good picture out of it. Warping perspective or faking lights in order to make a better shot. Rendering with pencil or painting them with Photoshop and Corel or others. Since it is classic furniture, 3d play no game here because it will be too much trouble to model all the furniture, therefore, it has to be done by hand.
At first I was very slow with the perspectives but now I have gained come speed. I would like to share share my knowledge to this community. I can provide some help if someone needs critic or reference of columns, classic furniture, types of fabrics, floors, carpets, to name a few.
I hope you like all this or at least, be usefull in some way.

Classic interior french style
Here I was aiming to distort point perspective as if the lens were opening from closure. This was all done with pencils, pen and retouched with photoshop and painter. Hope you enjoy it.

American style interior.
This one was hard because there were a large area in the center of the room with nothing on it.
May 14th, 2012 #4
At fist I did all the perspectives within the perspective plane. But it always looked far away, I could not show the detail of the furniture nor the shot was impressive. So I started to work the perspective inside the room, even if this means not to show a good part of the furniture.
May 14th, 2012 #5
Neoclassic dinning room
Good example of the old way I used to scheme my perspectives.

French Provenzal(like) interior
This one is one of the few colored perspective I post for the moment. I do not fell very well with the results in general. It is hard to invent the light of the shot and at the same time, show the furniture in an interesting way.

For Israel
This is a more clean result all done in Photoshop with the wacom airbrush. It was done previously(a year ago) from my first post.
May 17th, 2012 #8
These are lovely ! What a fascinating job. I probably woudn't have the patience for it myself. Can't wait to see more
May 17th, 2012 #9
Thanks Karein
May 18th, 2012 #10
Great work. I've always loved these interiors. They seem to me so much warmer and comfortable than many modern grey super clean designs.
May 20th, 2012 #11
thanks, I have to say this, the furniture looks better in real. Stronger, fine materials, confortness are a few words which come to mind when you see them, in real.
By the way I have seen your wonderfull pictures and you got a awsome light going on your way. But I do not see people. I could not agree with you more about the real experience of going out and be with nature. But I also believe that being alone with nature is another kind of concealmente, a good one. But still a safe place nonetheless. I suggest you go to the circus and paint an acrobat, the construction site with a heavy weight maching and his driver,or any kind of human moving in groups. This are strong signs of our era. You shouldnt miss that. Outside what one know there are places in which we are not experts and because of that we do not go there. I hope it this is not your case.

I got a great deal on a 1/16 digger because the guy said it ran slow and couldnt figure out why. Got it home, re-bound and calibrated the radio, and 5 minutes later problem resolved.... but now its too fast for my son lol.
I grabbed my tqi and bound the receiver to it. Recalibrated again and all works fine, but I cant get training mode to work in the link software. I can enter training, set the throttle % and apply, but it does not appear to do anything. I went back to my slash with tqi receiver and confirmed training mode works fine on it.
I read through the compatibility guide and know telemtry will not work, but no mention of training mode. I also searched the forums and didnt come up with an answer. Can anyone confirm if this is supposed to work using tq receiver model 2218x?

WASHINGTON—Barack Obama gained a burst of momentum from his landslide victory in the South Carolina primary on Saturday and an expected endorsement today from Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. But now, the Illinois senator faces a monumental contest that does not play to his strengths.
In eight days, on Feb. 5, Obama and his principal rival, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, face off in the contest dubbed Super Tuesday, the biggest day of presidential primary voting in U.S. history. Twenty-two states hold Democratic primaries or caucuses that day, spanning political terrain from California to Massachusetts, from Latino communities in the West to majority-black cities in the East, a mix of states that includes some of the nation's most expensive television advertising markets.
Super Tuesday is a particular challenge for Obama, who trails Clinton in most national polls. Three of the biggest states voting -- New York, New Jersey and Connecticut -- are in Clinton's backyard; a fourth, Arkansas, was her home before her husband was elected president. Those states account for one-quarter of the delegates to be awarded that day.
In California, which holds the biggest cache of delegates, polls show Clinton has a commanding -- although narrowed -- lead over Obama.
Moreover, the multi-state field of Super Tuesday does not play to Obama's signature strength: his ability to win over voters in live town-hall settings, using his soaring oratory and personal charm. That worked for him in Iowa, where many voters met him personally more than once. In a national campaign, by contrast, most voters' only contact with Obama will be through advertising and surrogates.
Still, the Obama campaign has a strategy for countering Clinton's big-state advantage -- one built in part on the Democratic rules for how delegates are awarded.
Rather than a winner-take-all system, in which the candidate who gets the most votes in a state claims all the delegates, Democrats have elaborate rules that award delegates in proportion to each candidate's share of the vote.
That means even a Clinton stronghold like New Jersey may produce some delegates for Obama -- and it explains why Obama visited Jersey City this month, weeks before New Jersey was set to vote, where a crowd of about 4,500 lined up to hear him.
Despite early predictions that the primary contest would be resolved by Feb. 5, both the Clinton and Obama campaigns now assume that neither candidate will lock up the nomination that day. Even a Clinton strategist predicts that the two will emerge with very close delegate counts.
In all, nearly 1,700 delegates will be awarded on Super Tuesday, a big boost toward the 2,025 needed to clinch the Democratic nomination. California will award 370 delegates that day, or about 22% of the delegates at stake. Republicans will hold their own nominating contests Feb. 5, most in the states where Democrats are voting.
The last two days have strengthened Obama's hand.
His 28-point victory margin over Clinton on Saturday in South Carolina was far wider than most predicted, giving Obama energy and new funds. His campaign raised $500,000 through its website in the hour after the South Carolina polls closed, according to a spokesman. Obama carried 55% of the vote in South Carolina, compared to 27% for Clinton and 18% for John Edwards.
On his way to winning South Carolina, Obama drew support from about 80% of African American voters, exit polls showed. That leaves him positioned to do well Feb. 5 in states such as Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, which have large populations of African American Democrats.
The biggest prize among these states will be Georgia, where blacks could make up more than 40% of the Democratic primary vote, and 87 delegates are at stake. Obama has been endorsed by Atlanta's black mayor, Shirley Franklin, and recent polls show he has an edge over Clinton in the state.
Obama argued Sunday that his South Carolina victory, in which he won about a quarter of white voters, showed that he appeals to all races. While some think that "if you get black votes, you can't get white votes," his success in South Carolina proved that untrue, Obama told a crowd of more than 9,000 at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Kennedy, the Massachusetts senator and one of the Democratic Party's most senior figures, will campaign for Obama and help him shore up support among Latino voters, said someone close to the endorsement announcement.
Latino voters are a mainstay of Clinton's base, and they have a large presence in California, Arizona and several other states that vote Feb. 5. The Obama campaign believes that Kennedy will carry influence among Latinos in part because of his prominent role in calling for an overhaul of immigration laws that includes a path to citizenship for undocumented workers.
Kennedy is expected to endorse Obama at a rally at American University in Washington. News of Kennedy's decision came the day that his niece, Caroline, backed Obama in a New York Times opinion article in which she said Obama could inspire Americans as did her father, President Kennedy. Caroline Kennedy is scheduled to appear at today's rally as well.
Obama already had a leg up on the third-largest delegate prize of Super Tuesday: his home state of Illinois. And he has built organizations in the six states that are holding caucuses rather than primaries: Alaska, North Dakota, Colorado, Minnesota, Kansas and Idaho. The caucus format, which requires voters to attend meetings to express support for their candidate, plays to the Obama campaign's strength in grass-roots organizing that it honed in the Iowa caucuses.

It took a long time but i finally have a sit down at my desk job, IT field. Cant really complain as i get paid better than i ever have to mostly sit and deal occasionally with sometimes annoying people. I have a lot of confidence issues though and being surrounded by many people i feel are way smarter than me doesn't help. I feel also it's a little too good to be true, that i'm not deserving of of it even though it is in no way high level. It's merely better for me than anything i've had before, though i still consider myself fortunate. Just worried maybe that im going to lose it constantly, along with the lack of confidence issues.
So yeah i guess i have nothing to hate, really.

Owner response: This is Steve, the manager here at DC Customz. I apologize that we could not locate the factory HID bulb for your Lincoln Navigator. When you first came in you specified that you had aftermarket HID bulbs which was not the case. We offered a full refund after we could not get the factory part but you would not accept it for months. I am sorry we could not find a factory replacement bulb for the price you were willing to pay. We hope to get the opportunity to earn back your business in the future.

Lemon Glazed Apricots
|Ripe apricots
|6 , washed and split
|Lemon curd
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|Ground ginger
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|3 Tablespoon
Preheat your oven to 375°F.place the apricot halves in an oven-safe flat dish.
Combine the lemon curd and ginger in a small bowl and spoon it over the apricots.
Sprinkle the sugar on top, and place the apricots in the oven for about 2 minutes, until just warm.
Transfer the dish to the broiler section, about 2 to 3 inches from the heat and broil, just until the tops are glazed.
Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Remove the dish from the broiler and serve 3 apricot halves per person.
Sometimes I serve the apricots with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center.
They also provide a nice accent when served with roasted meats or fowl.
If you have a baked tart shell double this recipe, spread another 3/4 cup of lemon curd over the tart shell, and arrange the baked apricots on top.

Reflections on the lectionary readings by pastors, preachers, and biblical scholars
Photo by Mary Harrsch
Each Monday we publish Sunday's Coming, an email-only post on the upcoming readings, written by our current Living by the Word columnist.
Email Address
Sunday, October 8, Luke 17:5-10
Jesus is reported to have said, "The law and the prophets were in effect until John came; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone tries to enter it by force" (Luke 16:16).
Sunday, October 1, Luke 16:19-31
In Jesus' story of the rich man and Lazarus there is no wiggle room. Deeds are done and lives led, and there are consequences for each of the three characters—the rich man, Lazarus and Father Abraham. No matter what each of them wishes, desires or hopes, the matter is finished.
Sunday, September 16, Exodus 32:7-14; Psalm 51:1-10; 1 Timothy 1:12-17; Luke 15:1-10
The sins revealed in these first three scripture passages are blockbusters—betrayal, idolatry, adultery and violence—the raw material for larger-than-life stories and films. The Bible does not whitewash the sins of its major characters. Their awful failures and wrongdoings are part of the story, as are the human consequences, divine judgment and forgiveness.
Sunday, September 2. Proverbs 25:6-7; Psalm 112; Hebrews 13:1-8,15-16; Luke 14:1, 7-14
In the fragility of goodness, author Martha Nussbaum writes, "The peculiar beauty of human excellence just is its vulnerability." Goodness is fragile and its vulnerability is part of its beauty. But in several of these scripture texts, it is not the fragility of goodness that stands out but the sturdiness of righteousness.

The relation between stature and long bone length in the Roman Empire
Stature is increasingly popular among economic historians as a proxy for (biological) standard of living. Recently, researchers have started branching out from written sources to the study of stature from skeletal remains. Current methods for the reconstruction of stature from the skeleton implicitly assume fixed body proportions. We have tested these assumptions for a database containing over 10,000 individuals from the Roman Empire. As it turns out, they are false: the ratio of the length of the thigh bone to the length of the other long bones is significantly different from those implied in the most popular stature reconstruction methods. Therefore, we recommend deriving a proxy for living standards from long bone length instead of reconstructed stature.
