EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - 2009: Travis Beckum of the New York Giants poses for his 2009 NFL headshot at photo day in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by NFL Photos)
Sorry this is getting up late, as the game has been re-hashed by many others, but here goes:This one hurts alot. To come so close and come up short…Well, let's take a look at the various components of the Giants' effort last weekend. On offense, the G-Men did ok. Manning was able to hook up with his receivers and exploit the Packers pass defense. Other than the pick six that he threw, Manning had a good game. His receivers were open, and he hit them consistently. Travis Beckum showed up with a 67 yard TD reception and run that had me comtemplating the headline Bend It Like Beckum. Victor Cruz and Hakeen Nicks were open all day, and the patch work line kept Eli upright. The refs blew the TD call with Ballard, and the running game got untracked. Bradshaw's return was a huge benefit.Defensively, the Giants rushing defense showed up, but the pass D took a breather. Chase Blackburn's INT pretty much cancelled out Eli's INT, but the defense should be able to find a way to stop their oppon...

House GOP rolls out border plan
$659 million well shy of Obama goal to tackle surge of kids
Posted: July 30, 2014 at 5:30 a.m.
House Republicans on Tuesday unveiled their plan to stem the surge of unaccompanied children from Central America at the southern border, proposing to spend $659 million -- well short of the $3.7 billion President Barack Obama seeks -- to ease the humanitarian crisis.

FPM leader Michel Aoun is seen in Rabieh, Tuesday, Jan. 21, 2014. (The Daily Star/Charbel Nakhoul, HO)
All Lebanese parties and groups are in agreement that a new government is needed, and urgently, but certain politicians seem to be prioritizing their own wishes above the country's stability.
Both Hezbollah and Future have agreed on the need for rotating ministerial portfolios, and the 8-8-8 formula. But the former has been as yet unable to convince its Free Patriotic Movement allies of the need for regularly rotating Cabinet portfolios, with caretaker Energy Minister Gebran Bassil saying Sunday the position must be reserved for Christians, and, indirectly, for his party.
As the country veers from one security incident to another, with fractious borders and a general sense of unease, a functioning government is needed more now than ever, especially given that the presidential election, scheduled for late spring, might not even take place on time. Should this occur, a government would provide a much-needed safety net.
International backers of Lebanon are also stressing the need for a government sooner rather than later, and have indicated that they are not opposed to Hezbollah being part of any new Cabinet.
Therefore while this widespread enthusiasm for a new government abounds, it must be taken advantage of. If that means that the FPM are not part of the new government, then so be it. The president and the prime minister-designate have implied they are not willing to wait around for FPM leader Michel Aoun to calm down, and it seems likely the party's ministers will resign if it is not promised the Energy portfolio.
Both sides bruised from recent events in Lebanon, Hezbollah and March 14 have realized compromise is necessary. Hopefully this mood of partial reconciliation translates into the creation of a new Cabinet, today and not tomorrow.

Webb gives up eventual game-winner seconds after forcing tie in soccer title match
MURFREESBORO — The day after surviving a tense soccer marathon, Webb School of Knoxville couldn't overcome less than a minute's worth of the same sort of drama Thursday night.
One second, the Spartans scored to tie St. George's in the Division II-A state championship match.
About 30 ticks later, the match was untied. Peyton Schelp's bending kick into the right corner of the goal early in the second half was the difference in the Gryphons' 2-1 victory at the Richard Siegel soccer complex.
"After (the tying) goal, we were pretty pumped up," said Spartans midfielder Townes Bouchard-Dean. "We lost our heads a little bit maybe. Give St. George's credit. That was a great play and a great finish."
The ending was wrenching for the defending champion Spartans (14-6-1), who passed through the gauntlet of four overtime sessions and 10 rounds of penalty kicks for a 9-8 semifinal victory over Evangelical Christian the night before.
The Spartans didn't unwind from what Bouchard-Dean described as "probably the craziest soccer game I've been a part of" until sometime after 1 a.m.
The fatigue was apparent in the first half as the Spartans struggled for consistent traction. They tilted the field their way late in the first 40 minutes only to surrender the first score. Nicholas Sims ran unmarked onto Schelp's cross and pounded it to the back of the net in the 39th minute.
St. George's played the early semifinal on Wednesday and withstood its own test. The Gryphons surrendered a goal late in regulation against University School of Nashville before scoring early in the first overtime session and winning, 2-1.
Still, St. George's coach Tony Whicker knew that his team hadn't expended as much energy or emotion in their semifinal as Webb had.
"Their guys were even more tired than we were," he said. "Keeping them on their heels was important."
Webb was on its toes for the first 10 minutes of the second half. A foul resulted in Ramzy Abidi's free kick in the 50th minute and his ball to the far post found some portion of Bouchard-Dean's anatomy to carom in for a goal.
"Maybe a hip or something, a body part," he said. "It wasn't the most graceful goal."
Its impact wasn't lasting either, not after St. George's quickly countered up the field.
"We're sitting on a high and we give the goal back in 30 seconds," Webb coach Seth Harbin said. "Then you're chasing the game again."
Although the Spartans never caught up, there was some sense of satisfaction. Last year's title win and this year's title-game appearance are the only times Webb has made the championship match.
"It's pretty special," said Bouchard-Dean, noting the loss of six seniors from last season's team. "Honestly, I didn't expect to be back here."
It was pretty crazy, too.

continued "It's ridiculous for the Zoning Board of Appeals to even consider this proposal," she said.
Amersi, however said Wednesday that the new six-story structure would not obstruct views for adjacent properties, and that there are no existing views of the lake from Canada Street that would be blocked by the six-story structure.
"No one will lose an existing view of the lake," he said, noting that the six-story building would also not be visible from people in boats on the lake, due to the angle of view.
Amersi continued that Surfside needed upgraded rooms to continue to be financially viable, particularly considering that a new Marriott Courtyard was likely to be built across the street with 120 new rooms, and other major hotel chains are also seeking to build — and these new developments would cause Surfside to lose market share unless their rooms were upgraded.
"People want modern, larger, top quality rooms," he said.
And with those new rooms, sufficient on-site parking would be necessary, which meant larger and more spaces to comply with regulations — which would require a two-story parking garage.
"We're very tight on parking at this point," he said.
Amersi added that the new building would be modern and include a 25-feet deck on the top two floors, complete with plantings and furnishings.
"It will be a really nice contemporary building with character — and it will be a little bit retro," he said, noting that the building may pick up some design cues from the hotel's iconic neon sign, which has been mentioned in various publications for its 1950s chic.

UML (Unified Modeling Language): Standard Language for Software Architecture Development
Date Added: May 2011
Format: PDF
A solid architectural vision is a key discriminator in the success or failure of a software project. This paper discusses how to describe architecture through a set of design viewpoints and how to express these views in the UML. In this paper, the authors mainly focused on the standardization of UML for software development process with the discussion of benefits of UML. Object-Oriented Analysis (OOA) is concerned with developing software engineering requirements and specifications that expressed as a system's object model (which is composed of a population of interacting objects), as opposed to the traditional data or functional views of systems.

Priced at 400 Microsoft Points on the Xbox Live Marketplace, the November DLC includes a six-pack of new vehicles to augment the moments our review called "incredibly beautiful." But who needs to stop and smell the roses when you can inhale the sweet fumes of a 1965 Shelby Cobra or that 2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon? (Okay, we probably should have used the new Lamborghini Gallardo as our second example.)
Full list and details on the new rides can be seen after the break.
The newest "Forza Horizon" Car Pack will be available for download starting Tuesday, November 6 on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, adding a new batch of amazing cars for "Forza Horizon" fans to collect, drive and explore the open roads of Colorado in. From off-road beasts designed to tame any surface to legendary drift cars, the November Bondurant Car Pack has something for car fans of every stripe.
The November Bondurant Car Pack for "Forza Horizon" includes six vehicles prepped and ready to tackle the open roads of Forza Horizon's Colorado, including:
· 2012 Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Spyder Performante: At 3,274 pounds overall, this is the lightest open-top Lamborghini ever. Carbon fiber abounds, from the door panels to the center tunnel cover. Even among its Lambo brethren, the Performante stands out as something special.
· 2012 Shelby 1000: The Shelby 1000 is not just a Mustang with immense horsepower, it is an entirely custom-built machine. Mash the pedal on the right and unleash this conservatively rated 950 horsepower monster and it will be obvious: This is a car that Carroll Shelby would have been proud of.
· 2010 BMW M3 GTS: The ultimate factory M3 comes with more in all the right departments and less wherever it made sense for a street-legal track car. Lightened everywhere conceivable and fully adjustable from the suspension to the rear wing, the M3 GTS is a versatile weapon on the track or the open road.
· 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 S/C: Marketed as "the fastest streetcar in the world," the 427 - the "S/C" stands for "semi-competition" - is the most desirable of all the Shelby Cobra variants. Out of the 100 that were planned, only 53 were built. In essence, the S/C is nothing less than a purpose-built race car, converted at the last minute for street use.
· 1994 Nissan 240SX SE: Some fans say the drift scene begins (and ends) with the 240 SX SE. Low cost, lightweight, and with plenty of power, the SE earned its legendary status one E-brake slide at a time. Whether driving for points or just hooning it up, the 240SX is a willing partner in the thrilling automotive dance of drifting.
· 2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon: Whether cruising on asphalt or tearing up Forza Horizon's backroads, this beast is as rugged as it comes. Perfect for drivers looking to indulge an outdoorsy bent or for those who just want to intimidate the competition, the Rubicon always delivers.
The November Bondurant Car Pack will be available on Tuesday, November 6 on the Xbox LIVE marketplace for 400 Microsoft Points.

1. Cost. They could make a nicer camera, but most of the people buying instant film nowadays (pictures with Santa, etc) are looking more for low cost than high quality.
2. Rate of return. Polaroid only had black-and-white integral film for about 3-5 years in the early 2000s. Other than that, it was color all the way.

Fracking and Your Health
Hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" has boomed in the last few years and is now producing most of the natural gas in the U.S. It is praised as helping the U.S. be more "energy independent" and has lowered the cost of natural gas. But, the controversy is whether it can harm our health, especially for people who live near the drilling sites. Continue reading

Why This Teacher Was Fired After Confronting a Bully in School; You Be the Judge
Imagine this:
You're a teacher and you see a kid blowing his nose on others, using inappropriate language and pushing other students.
You confront him and say "do you know how your actions and your words are hurting other students and your friends?"
You ask other students "in your classroom to take turns saying how the student ('Student A') had acted badly, violated rule or insulted them, and/or why Student A was annoying or had no friends".
You're fired and think the school is wrong.

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN - OCTOBER 02: Nicklas Lidstrom of Detroit Red Wings looks prior to the start of the 2009 Compuware NHL Premiere Stockholm match between Detroit Red Wings and St. Louis Blues at the Ericsson Globe on October 2, 2009 in Stockholm, Sweden. (Photo by Paul Gilham/Getty Images)
Defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom retired Thursday after 20 seasons with the Detroit Red Wings, ending one of the best careers in NHL history. The four-time Stanley Cup champion and seven-time Norris Trophy winner fought back tears as he made the announcement. ''My drive and motivation are not where to need to be to play at this level,'' Lidstrom said. The 42-year-old Lidstrom, a Swede, played for the Red Wings in each of his 20 seasons and set an NHL record by playing 1,564 games with one team. He put retirement on hold in each of the previous two years by signing one-year contracts. ''I've been dreading this day since I became manager in 1997,'' Red Wings general manager Ken Holland said. Lidstrom had 34 points and a plus-21 rating that ranked among the league leaders last season. He missed a career-high 11 games with a bruised right ankle and was out for another game with the flu. He had 264 career goals with 1,142 points and a 450-plus rating. ''Retiring today allows me to walk ...

Farm Bill meetings to decide fate of food aid
By William Lambers on October 22, 2013
© examiner.com
Bread for the World said today the U.S. Congress will start to finalize the Farm Bill on October 30th. What's at stake is funding for programs that fight hunger in America and overseas. These include the food stamps program that feeds Americans in need and the Food for Peace plan that provides aid to developing countries.
Since both the House of Representatives and the Senate have passed their versions of the Farm Bill the "conference process" must begin. Bread for the World explains this is where "the House and Senate try to reconcile the bills into a single piece of legislation."
The House wants to cut the food stamps program (SNAP) by nearly $40 billion dollars over 10 years. The Senate version has $4 billion in cuts over the same time period, but includes improvements to the program according to Bread for the World.
Feeding America and other advocates say cuts to food stamps will overwhelm the nation's system of food banks with increased demand. With 49 million Americans suffering from hunger, massive cuts to food stamps will be devastating.
Bob Aiken, CEO of Feeding America said last month, "Charity absolutely cannot make up for this substantial cut to federal food assistance. The legislation will cause at least four million individuals to lose their SNAP benefits entirely, 850,000 households will lose an average $90 per month in SNAP benefits, and 210,000 children will lose free school meals."
On November 1st automatic food stamp cuts will take place with the expiration of benefits from the federal stimulus program. Any cuts resulting from the Farm Bill will be in addition.
The U.S. Food for Peace program is also part of the Farm Bill. This is the main tool of the U.S. in fighting world hunger. There are 842 million people globally who suffer from hunger. Food for Peace is the largest single donor to the UN World Food Programme (WFP). These donations fight hunger in Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, Haiti and many other countries. The World Food Program USA and other groups are calling for increased funding for Food For Peace and also reforms to improve efficiency.
The McGovern-Dole school lunch program is also in need of increased funding in the Farm Bill. This program funds WFP, Catholic Relief Services, Save the Children and other groups so they can provide school meals around the globe. Recently marathon champion Paul Tergat, who received WFP school meals as a child, visited Congress advocating for McGovern-Dole.
Bread for the World is encouraging citizens to get involved by contacting their representatives using social media.

Survey of Nigeria's foreign policy - 5
The Abuja Charter of 1992 incorporating the plans towards economic union of Africa was signed and it then replaced the moribund Lagos Plan of Action of the 1970s which had remained largely unimplemented. It remains an open question whether the recent rushed establishment of an African Union without adequate study will lead to Africa's integration.
Many of the policies put in place in the 1990s did not yield commensurate economic dividends because of some reasons, chief of which was our internal political difficulties, this being our inability to institute a democratic regime and embrace a democratic culture.
The second reason was that Eastern Europe was just opening up its markets after the collapse of communism. This area of the world had a developed infrastructure and was nearer the sources of investible capital from which Nigeria was expecting investment. The owners of this capital were more interested in the security of it and for strategic reasons of security, in making the lives of Eastern Europeans just freed from Communism, better. At the time we were opening up, Latin America was doing the same, so also was China and South East Asia and Africa could just not compete, the obstacles were just simply overwhelming. The challenge then is that we must not be wearied by trying but we must learn to depend more on our own effort in future. This effort would take the form of political conformity with the rest of the world as well as husbanding our own resources and diversifying our economy particularly from over-dependence on export of hydrocarbons whose use may be threatened in future because of humankind's concern for the environment.
Our foreign policy endeavours under General Sani Abacha amounted to a mixed grill. We were successful at considerable cost to our psyche and exchequer in helping to stabilize the political situation in our region through imposing an uneasy peace in Liberia and Sierra Leone. But this was at the expense of the well-being of our people who had suffered untold economic deprivation and loss of their fundamental human rights. The result of our violating our people's rights was ostracisation of Nigeria from civilized society and the international community. This then drove us into the warm embrace of other pariah states and China while we abandoned our traditional partners in the West with consequent serious economic decline. The demise of Nigeria's erstwhile ruler constituted a "deus ex machina" for this country and opened a window of opportunity for carefully assessing the future of our foreign relations as well as graphically underscoring the fact that one cannot really separate foreign and domestic policies.
The coming to power of General Abdulsalami Abubakar as Head of State and his determined effort to take Nigeria back to the international community through freeing several detainees and prisoners from Abacha's gulag constituted a denouement of the impasse in which we had been. His efforts were largely reciprocated by the international community.
We accordingly made new beginning in May 1999 when Olusegun Obasanjo was sworn in as democratically chosen president of Nigeria after sixteen bitter years of military rule. Happily what could have put the hand of the national clock back in Obasanjo wanting to have a Third Term was aborted and the embarrassment of foreign criticism was averted.
Currently, with his transformation agenda, President Goodluck Jonathan has made it clear that Nigeria should aspire not only to significant development at home but also to an appropriate role in the comity of nations. But just as the international community has opened up to Nigeria because of the perceived changes in our domestic politics, the situation can relapse to what it was hitherto if we renege on our promises and commitment on democratization, transparency and good governance.
What then is to be done to avoid complete marginalisation and possible second partition of Africa in the face of failure of policy which is causing the rest of the world considerable concern? This concern arises not out of altruism but because of constant break down of law and order in Africa and attendant emigration of refugees from this continent to other parts of the world. In recent times, we have seen the phenomenon of disappearing states like Somalia and Liberia not to mention Rwanda and Burundi, even Nigeria was described by such an important news medium as America's Washington Post as a "failed state".
Nigeria must first of all confront her domestic problems by consolidating her democracy. Democracy is not just the question of holding periodic elections, important as this is, it means developing a democratic culture underpinned by the rule of law. We must build an egalitarian society with careers opened to talents. It should be possible for any Nigerian of talent to rise to any position that these talents entitle him or her. The present politically expedient policy of federal character, which has been misused should yield place to open competition. This is the only way by which the sense of patriotism will be fostered. There is at present a feeling in some parts of the country that 'this republic is not based on equality of its citizens'. Such feelings would have to be assuaged through practical power sharing mechanism. The alternative to building a united country is too ghastly to be contemplated.
We must face the question of the economy squarely. Fifty-one years after independence we still operate a dependent economy based on export of raw materials and industries of import substitution. We must reverse this process by building industries, particularly agro-based industries in which we have comparative advantage. Our country certainly can support huge textile and garments industries based on local production of cotton. This is also an industry which the current regime of the World Trade Organisation favours for developing countries. The so-called Tiger economies of South East Asia, China and India virtually dominate the textile and garments industry of the world. We ought to be able to challenge these countries because of our cheap labour. We should be able to compete with Israel and the United States in providing the world with properly packaged tropical fruits. We should cut our tastes for unnecessary luxury goods and use what we can produce. We need to open our market to investments from the outside world. One hopes present policies in this regard would be determinedly pursued. The economy is the key to respect in the international system and we must do everything to develop our economy. There is no strategy of economic development better than those that have been tried and that have worked in the Western liberal democracies. Any attempt to graft economic development on an authoritarian regime will fail. The erstwhile example of success of the Tiger economies as a justification for this is no longer relevant. Perhaps we need to look at the example of Botswana, where honest and liberal government and proper management of national resources and patrimony has led to development which is at par with any of the so-called Tiger economies without the political authoritarianism of those regimes.

U2's debut is remarkable in both its scope and its success in achieving that scope. Anthemic from the moment they're let out of the gates, all members seem possessed by the hope and fury of being young. Yet, innocence and wonder can still be found in "Electric Co." and "Out Of Control." The balance between youth and ambition make this record so great.

Hutchison China MediTech Limited ("Chi-Med")
Cancer Therapy Collaboration with Lilly
London: Wednesday, 9 October 2013: Hutchison MediPharma Limited ("HMP"), an R&D company majority owned by Chi-Med, today announces that it has entered into a licensing, co-development, and commercialisation agreement in China with Eli Lilly and Company ("Lilly") for Fruquintinib (HMPL-013), a targeted oncology therapy for the potential treatment of various types of solid tumours. Fruquintinib, a selective inhibitor of the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor ("VEGF") receptor tyrosine kinases, was discovered by HMP and is currently in Phase II testing in China.
Under the terms of the agreement, the costs of future development of Fruquintinib in China, to be carried out by HMP, will be shared between HMP and Lilly. HMP will potentially receive a series of payments of up to US$86.5 million, including upfront payments and development and regulatory approval milestones. Should Fruquintinib be successfully commercialised in China, HMP would receive tiered royalties starting in the mid-teens percentage of net sales. Additional terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Christian Hogg, Chief Executive Officer of Chi-Med said: "Our belief is that Fruquintinib has potential activity against multiple tumour types with high incidence rates and may benefit patients with significant unmet medical needs in China. The collaboration with Lilly will allow for Fruquintinib to be developed across various tumour types in China and at a far greater speed than if we went alone."
"We are excited to collaborate with Hutchison MediPharma in the development of this potential new cancer therapy," said Jacques Tapiero, Lilly Senior Vice President and President of Emerging Markets. "In Lilly's emerging markets business, we are focused on providing patients with innovative medicines from our own pipeline and through collaborations with respected science-based companies such as HMP. Together, we are committed to help meet the medical needs of oncology patients in China."

About Fruquintinib
Fruquintinib ("HMPL-013") is a novel and potent small molecule agent that selectively inhibits VEGFR 1, 2 and 3.

In addition, it demonstrated clinical activity in patients with various heavily pre-treated advanced cancers. Currently, a single arm Phase II study for Fruquintinib is on-going in China with results expected to be released in early 2014. In July 2013, HMP received Phase II/III Clinical Trial Application approval from the China Food and Drug Administration which granted the further development of Fruquintinib. . In the planned Phase II/III clinical trials, Fruquintinib will be studied in patients witha variety of solid tumours.

Poll: What Should I Write As My Next Story? Vote Now!
Author has written 13 stories for High School Musical, Hannah Montana, and Hellcats.
My pen name is xGuiltyxPleasure, obviously. This is the only place I use that name, so stalking me will be difficult. But if you want to know my real name, I like PMs.
Fanfiction is my dirty little secret. Everyone's got to have a couple I suppose, and fanfics are healthier for you than a hardcore drug addiction.
I ship Troypay, obviously.
Ashley Tisdale is amazing and I'm more than a little obsessed with her.
I may post some possible story ideas to my profile at some point, and ask for opinions on which I should do. Or I may just upload whatever the hell I feel like and hope it gets reviews. We'll see.
I don't mind random PMs at all. Send them my way; let's be friends. :)
I hate getting twelve emails within an hour when somebody alerts and favorites me and all of my stories, and fails to leave a single review. So review, please.
Story A. Sharpay never had much luck with love, so she chased after money instead. After her second failed marriage, her research for her next wealthy conquest led to digging up a familiar face: high school's Troy Bolton. After much career success, he had recently moved back home to Albuquerque with six figures in the bank. Her plan was the same as it had been before: charm Troy, trick him into falling in love with her, and snag a proposal in a matter of months. All while remembering the most important rule of all: never catch feelings midway through.
Story B. Summer after their senior year, the group go together for a celebratory long weekend camping trip. After surviving the road trip and setting up camp, a night of partying begins. But after the campfire burns out and everyone retires to their tents, somebody else shows up to crash the party, and a night of terror ensues. A Troypay crossed with your classic teenage slasher film.
Story C. Troy and Gabriella married as young college sweethearts. Years later, however, the teenage romance has died and Troy struggles to fake happiness through his stale marriage. Sharpay Evans returns home to New Mexico, tired of struggling in the big city. In need of a friend, she takes advantage of a chance encounter with Gabriella Montez at the gym and the two are soon inseparable. Gabriella reintroduces Sharpay to her husband, leaving him to help give male perspective into Sharpay's many failed relationships. Soon, Sharpay and Troy are spending many a weekend while Gabriella's away on lectures together in secret. It starts out innocently enough, talking over wine. But it's quickly developing into much more, before either one of them can stop it.
Story D. Troy realized his love for Sharpay Evans more than a little too late. After discovering an old note, he takes advantage of his college summer break to track down the girl from his past. But when he finds her, no longer single and shunning his affections, he sets out to prove to her that he's loved her along, recounting every day since kindergarten they've shared a moment. A series of flashbacks.

1848 sea adventure tale, with an eye on the US's war with Mexico< read all 1 reviews
JACK TIER or THE FLORIDA REEF begins in late winter or early spring of 1848. The war with Mexico will soon end in decisive victory for the smaller forces of the U.S. Army. Meanwhile the U. S. Navy is heavily engaged in blockading the long Mexican Caribbean coastline. Not every coastal mile is blocked, but the major arteries and choke points in and out of the Caribbean Sea are effectively under U.S. control. ***
This is the story of an aristocratic Mexican patriot, Don Juan Montefalderon y Castro, and American traitor Captain Stephen Spike. As novel begins Spike sails from Manhattan his ancient wooden ship, the Molly Swash to rendezvous with Don Juan at a lighthouse in the Dry Tortugas. This lies on the two hundred mile long Florida Reef, of which Key West is also a part. ***
Ostensibly the Molly Swash is carrying barrels of flour to Key West to sell to suppliers to the American forces in Mexico. In reality, each flour barrel also contains a waterproofed keg of gunpowder. Captain Spike hopes not only to sell the barrels but also his own ship to the Mexican government for use against the USA. ***
Traveling aboard the Molly Swath from New York are 18 year old Miss Rose Budd and her uncle's widow, Mrs Budd, who has raised Rose. Already in love with Rose, the Swath's first mate, handsome young Henry (Harry) Mulford. Mulford suspects Captain Spike of smuggling but not of treachery. ***
As the ship sails out from Manhattan to go to sea, she stops to pick up a short little sailor who hails her from a small boat, Jack Tier. Jack is soon put in charge (as a subordinate to Afro-American Josh, the steward, of the sleeping quarters of the two ladies and their Irish maid, Bridget Noon. Captain Spike has invited Mrs Budd and Rose to take a sea voyage to cure Rose of an ailment she does not have, but really to marry the beautiful young heiress and to retrieve his sagging fortunes. ***
Not yet even out of New York waters, the Molly Swash is pursued for no obvious reason by a U.S. man of war, the Poughkeepsie. The pursuit continues into the Caribbean. Eventually pursuer and pursued will come together in the Dry Tortugas at the lighthouse. ***
Meanwhile time moves on. By April 1848 it is clear that Mexico will soon sign a treaty of peace with the USA. Harry Mulford and Rose Budd have become engaged. Harry has proof that Captain Spike is a traitor and hopes to be rescued by the USS Poughkeepsie, so that he and Rose can be married by the chaplain aboard. Ungainly Jack Tier has become an intimate friend of Mrs Budd, Miss Budd and maid Bridget, to the considerable surprise of Harry Mulford. ***
A sudden storm has complicated the lives of those aboard the Molly Swath while sinking the nearby Mexican ship whose crew has captured the light house crew. There are chases, encounters with sharks, a stranding of the three women, Harry and Jack Tier on the upended but floating Mexican ship, more chases, escapes and adventures. ***
On the philosophical and political side author Fenimore Cooper cautions the USA not to give in to hubris and try (in vain) to occupy and retain all of Mexico (in the end the USA bought New Mexico and California for $15 million). Cooper also argues that man's apparently successful wars depend entirely on God's tolerance of the evil involved in imperialism. There is a heavy dose of religion throughout JACK TIER. Harry begins as conventionally Christian, but prays more and more as he encounters ever new challenges. After Harry has successfully swum through sharks and later been left to die by Captain Spike on a reef, he does pray more, but never as much as his fiancee Rose hopes. Jack Tier explains things to her:
"Sailors isn't so apt to pray, Miss Rose; not as apt as they ought to be. Women for prayers, and men for work" (Vol I. Ch. II).
A profound mystery of personal identity is also probed: who is this curious little waddling man Jack Tier? What is his relation from of old with Captain Stephen Spike? This overconfident reader guessed wrong. The final identification is one of the greatest surprises in American literature. The book is worth reading simply as a puzzle to be solved: who is Jack Tier? -OOO-

As I've done for the previous five weeks, I will be updating news and views on all things WikiLeaks over the three-day weekend, with new items added at the top. All times are ET. For more follow me on Twitter. Read about my latest book here.
UPDATE: Here's the Tuesday edition of this blog.
11:30 "X7o" at WL Central rips James Richardson piece in The Guardian today that used the term "Collateral Murder" for possible result of Wiki cablegate on Zimbadwe. Among issues raised is one we noted today: That The Guardian itself seems to have been first to post the fateful cable. Just now the "official" @WikiLeaks twitter feed added: "It is not acceptable the Guardian to blame us for a cable the Guardian selected and published on Dec 8."
10:25 Bradley Manning's lawyer David Coombs with new blog post on motion to dismiss due to lack of speedy move to trial. "The Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial is applied to military jurisprudence through two separate and distinct provisions....."
10:20 Jay Rosen tweets: "For each week I've followed the Wikileaks story, the significance of this Oct. 2009 article in Computer World has grown.
9:20 Remarkable charting here of the more than 2000 cables now published, broken down several ways.
9:15 Psychologists for Social Responsibility send letter to Robert Gates protesting inhumane treatment of Bradley Manning.
9:10 Interesting Haaretz piece on the media "revolution" promised by WikiLeaks and the Web -- or, maybe not.
5:20 Foreign Policy writer on Issa: Yeah, why haven't we prosecuted Assange--under non-existent laws? Maybe should call it The Rule of Non-Laws?
3:50 A fun Vanity Fair piece provides a Bank of America "checklist" for WikiLeaks assault.
3:20 A turd blossoms in Sweden : Not an easy read, but an update on Karl Rove's possible role in prosecution of Assange, at FDL.
2:15 Did WikiLeaks inspire its own likely "Collateral Murder" in Zimbadwe? James Richardson in The Guardian probes. Critic of Mugabe imperiled. But The Guardian itself published the fateful cable on Dec. 8.
2:05 Interesting Financial TImes piece on business leadership in the Age of WikiLeaks. "In a world of naked corporations facing public exposure from leakers and whistleblowers alike, business leaders will need to take their new year's resolutions to lose weight and get fit very seriously indeed. Just as purveyors of fizzy drinks and crisps may soon face an obesity tax, the flabby corporation will face a WikiLeaks 'reputational tax'."
1:05 Peter Kemp on death threats against Assange, incitement -- and the law.
12:20 New from Glenn Greenwald: "There is simply no limit on the manipulation and exploitation of the term 'terrorism' by America's political class. Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell support endless policies that slaughter civilians for political ends, yet with a straight face accuse Julian Assange -- who has done nothing like that -- of being a 'terrorist.'"
12:10 Juan Cole: Wiki release of full, famous 1990 April Glaspie memo "vindicates" her, re: Saddam.
11:25 Germany denies secret spy project with USA (see below).
11:15 Tweet for me from @darrylmason: "Do u realize if #CableGate releases flow at current rate & u keep up day by day coverage, you'll be doing this for 7 more years?" Yeah, going for the Guinness -- in both meanings of that word.
10:35 Weeks ago, I noted that in his first big post-Cablegate interview, Assange said, offhandedly, that there were a few UFO mentions in the 250,000 cables -- but why not, since silly or mysterious sightings are reported around the world every week? Well, UFOlogists seized on that and have since proclaimed major revelations to come, such as a U.S.-Russia battle with saucers over Antarctica. For a look at part of this nonsense, go here.
10:25 Forbes columnist looks at Bank of America plans to respond to Wiki hit, but closes by asking execs: Are YOU prepared. Because Assange might be coming to get ya.
10:00 Besides continuing this feed, my regular blog at The Nation returned today after a holiday layoff, check it out here.
9:45 And the Wikileaks hits just keep on a-coming: AP with account of latest cable released by Norwegian paper. "Germany and the U.S. are planning a $270 million satellite spying program that is causing friction in the European Union, according to WikiLeaks documents published by Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten on Monday."
9:40 Patrick Cockburn on his famous father, J. Assange, and "Puncturing State Secrets."
9:00 Q & A with Jessica Valenti on charges against Assange and his defenders: "I think as a culture we tend to think of rapists as obvious bad guys - like a scary man jumping out of the bushes. When it comes to those on the Left, the same is true - people don't want to believe that one of their progressive heroes could ever do something so terrible. But someone can be a great guy when it comes to politics and still be a rapist. It's not a zero sum game."
8:50 The Guardian has slacked off on cable coverage but now has a new one on U.S. pressuring European Union to accept GM -- genetic modification, that is.
8:20 Poynter asks panel to look ahead in 2011. Headline: "Imagine a Julian Assange in every state and major city in the US."
8:00 Toronto Star: New cable shows U.S. seeking to join Japan in action against prominent anti-whaling group.
7:50 Jeff Jarvis on the below: "Would be kinda funny if B of A got punked."
7:40 New NYT piece on how Bank of America is preparing for the rumored massive WikiLeaks release, which hoping that Assange is only "bluffing." A team "of 15 to 20 top Bank of America officials, led by the chief risk officer, Bruce R. Thompson, has been overseeing a broad internal investigation — scouring thousands of documents in the event that they become public, reviewing every case where a computer has gone missing and hunting for any sign that its systems might have been compromised." And much more.
7:30 Not, strictly speaking, WikiLeaks but my new Nation piece on upcoming film about guy who would have surely had an interesting take on it: folk singer / political activist (and my onetime friend) Phil Ochs.
From late yesterday
On Fox, Judy Miller calls Assange a "bad journalist" and he didn't "verify" his sources. However, current scorecard reads: Miller helped kill hundreds of thousands, Assange zero.
NYT finally back in business in the WikiLeaks cable game, with major report, making use of hundreds of cables detailing use of diplomats as "sales" agents more than previously thought, centering on jet rivalrty, Boeing vs. Airbus. Hints of corruption and bribes. "It is not surprising that the United States helps American companies doing business abroad, given that each sale is worth thousands of jobs and that their foreign competitors do the same. But like the other WikiLeaks cables, these offer a remarkably detailed look at what had previously been only glimpsed — in this case, the sales war between American diplomats and their European counterparts."
Jeremy Scahill tweets: "Wikileaks releases oft-discussed April Glaspie cable from Iraq in 1990 before Kuwait invasion."

'I can still have the odd cigarette, can't I?'
Any smoking during pregnancy is harmful because it means that the baby gets less oxygen. Alcohol is harmful too.
'I can eat for two now, right?'
This just isn't true. A healthy, well balanced diet is really important because a growing baby will get all its food from the mother.

as a noob, i'd say it might be a good idea to add a suggestion in that "newbie sticky" thing along the lines of "read lots of other people's threads and posts before you decide to post first."
just so they can get a good feel for the place, tone, attitude, etc. so they know what to expect when they start a thread.

At least this place has some life to it. I frequent two other bulletin boards. One erupts into style bashing with a lifecycle suspiciously similar to herpes, and the other one is on life support thanks to the hosting companies new policies, and a new guide to boot.
Geh, that reminds me of a lot of people who spar at my school. They love the training. We go through 12-16 weeks of basics for the new people every year. Starting with just a jab. Once we start with contact, they find they are not tough enough to stick it out.
--Originally Posted by Bard of DorAr
You don't. You teach the important ideas of biology. Give them accept what you teach, the basics that don't directly challenge their personally held beliefs. Let them accumulate what you have to say; then and some point, say to them - "By the way, that other stuff - that's evolution".
They should be able to see a disconnect between what they've accepted from you, and what they've previously believed. Then they may be open to change.
But if you go at it directly, they will put up defenses and ignore all that follows.
Do you think this guy hasn't been challenged directly in the past? I mentioned that I'd trained some in the Bujinkan; I got the impression he had some knowledge of the system. He also said he'd trained TKD and shotokan, so it's not like he's not seen anything else.
So yeah, I agree with Bard of DorAr in his approach.
I've invited him up for a roll - but I don't plan on changing class if he does. I'll just teach what I always do, if he has something to say I'll listen. And if he does attend my class and doesn't see a difference, then either I'm teaching for crap or he can't be reached.
I may just throw together small seminar - invite him (and any students he has - he did mention training security) - I'll invite you guys too. Spending quality time with other martial artists (instead of just hanging around the shows) may be the kind of good influence needed.
