Yeongam, South Korea, Oct 14, 2012 (AFP) - A peerless Sebastian Vettel leapfrogged Fernando Alonso at the top of the world championship on Sunday as the Red Bull driver led from the first corner to win the Korean Grand Prix.
With four races to go starting in India in two weeks, Vettel, the reigning champion who is chasing a third drivers' title in a row, sits atop the standings with 215 points. Alonso, who finished third, is on 209.
It was the 25-year-old German's third win in three races and he will now be favourite to retain his crown, in what had been a highly unpredictable season until he took the championship by the scruff of the neck.
Second at a cool but sunny Yeongam was Vettel's team-mate Mark Webber, who started on pole. It was the first Red Bull one-two of the season.
Alonso's fellow Ferrari driver Felipe Massa, second at Suzuka seven days ago, continued his resurgence with a fourth-placed finish. Lewis Hamilton, who still had title aspirations going in this grand prix, finished down in 10th. It now looks increasingly like a two-horse race for the title.
Fifth was Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus, followed by Nico Hulkenberg in a Force India. Romain Grosjean (Lotus), Jean-Eric Vergne, Daniel Ricciardo (both Toro Rosso) and Hamilton rounded out the top 10.
"Very pleased. Fantastic, I'm very happy," Vettel told the crowd, having celebrated his 25th career victory by jumping on top of his Red Bull with his arms aloft. "It was a fantastic race.
"Towards the end I felt I had a bit more in the tyres," said Vettel, whose front-right tyre in particular was badly worn by the end. He had been warned repeatedly by his team to "look after" his tyres.
"I could've gone on a bit longer. We were all a bit worried about the front tyres."
Alonso, also a double world champion, put a brave face on losing his lead in the standings. "We have to be happy with the performance today," he said.
"It was a good day for the team and for me. Today was better than expected."Vettel, who started second on the grid behind Webber, nipped in front of his team-mate at the first corner. Behind them Alonso and Hamilton duelled over third place, with the Spaniard winning through.
Jenson Button's bad weekend finished almost as soon as the race began. His fine start from lowly 11th was wrecked when Kamui Kobayashi came flying down the inside, smashing into Button and destroying his suspension.
"I've just been hit by Kobayashi. What an idiot!" the McLaren driver and 2009 world champion exclaimed over the team radio.
Also out, not long afterwards, was Nico Rosberg, who retired his Mercedes because of the same incident. The Sauber driver Kobayashi, third last week in his native Japan, was forced into the pits for a new nose and tyre.
He was then landed with a drive-through penalty for causing the early carnage and bowed out soon afterwards when Sauber decided that the damage to his car was too extensive. Kobayashi later apologised to Button and Rosberg.
Vettel, the man in form after victories at the last two races in Singapore and then Japan last week, was in firm command. Webber -- intentionally or not -- was a buffer between the leader and the chasing pack.
The Red Bull duo were exchanging fastest laps in front of a good crowd -- the last two races at Yeongam have failed to attract spectators -- while an improving Massa shoved a struggling Hamilton further down the field.
Third in the championship is Raikkonen, on 167 points, followed by Hamilton (153) and Webber (152).
"I was just told by the team that we had a rear-suspension failure, but it was safe to drive so they kept me going," said former world champion Hamilton, who also had some artificial turf stuck to his car for the last portion of the race.
"It was tricky to even keep 10th place."

Odds favor 'house' in high-stakes trade talks
A friend of mine who plays blackjack cannot resist asking for one more card even when he is three or four points shy of being busted. That he experiences the inevitable outcome of losing and does it again and again demonstrates how the notion "this time it's going to be different" can easily shove both history and math right out of the picture. The blinding light of an elusive reward can distract us from close examination of risk.
Our country is at a high-stakes table betting much of our economic future on the fairness of the Transpacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement being negotiated with Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. We need to stop and think and not let "having a trade agreement" or "this time it's going to be different" hurry us into signing a bad one. Again, the odds favor the "house"… over 600 multinational companies who get to participate in the negotiation process.
The over-promised benefits of global trade -- expanding markets and mega corporate profits -- serve as a distraction from the less laudable outcomes like insuring cheap labor, obtaining patent extensions, rolling back or freezing each country's laws regarding worker and environmental health and safety, and country of origin, locally produced and GMO food labels which may be more of the real deal. You and I have no idea what is in the TPP, but the corporate "trade advisors" who have a lot to gain and the ear of American trade representatives know every word. Their interests do not align with our needs and the axiom that not everyone who kneels with you prays with you is more often true when the stakes are high.
After NAFTA kicked in, unemployment in North Carolina jumped more than two percentage points as we lost one out of three manufacturing jobs to structural collapse. Government spent vast sums on unemployment payments and other benefits for trade-affected workers. Though the TPP text has been kept secret even from members of Congress, we do know that only five of its 29 chapters deal with traditional trade issues while 17 chapters on non-trade issues impose limits on financial oversight, domestic food safety, health, environmental and other policies called "investor rights" that can supersede member countries' future laws and regulations.
Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch dubs the TPP "NAFTA on steroids" and warns that the investor-state dispute mechanism included in the pact "empowers corporations to skirt national courts and sue our governments before tribunals of private-sector lawyers operating under UN and World Bank rules to demand taxpayer compensation for domestic regulatory policies that investors believe diminish their 'expected future profits'."
Congress has a role, but it may be limited. "Fast Track," a Nixon-era legacy, creates a legislative expressway without on- or off-ramps for trade agreements so that they bypass regular scrutiny by barring amendments, allowing only 20 hours of debate and 30 days in the House or Senate vote. Every word carefully written over a five-year period to insure corporate gain must now be vetted for its harm to American families by the Congress, the media and the public.
So far they haven't been allowed to see it.
The President has asked for Fast Track but a letter has been signed by many members of the House Democratic Caucus raising concerns about Fast Track in this case. Our Congressmen David Price and G. K. Butterfield have been asked to consider signing, not in lack of support of global trade or our President, but as a measure of the complexity of the issue and a recognition of what is at risk. No one is against trade, just trade that hurts hard-working American families. We cannot bet on hunches, hopes or continuing good will. We must slow down, think hard and learn from prior experience the importance of complete understanding of terms and that Congress's job is to stand firmly between bad policy and every person on your street..

President & VP..Dumb & Dumber
The scrolling is a disaster. The screen just jumps a lot. Perhaps you should head back to the old drawing board.
It's terrible. Aside from the navigations being completely convoluted, the pages load much slower, while reading the forums, the font changes size constantly, the set up is just not that friendly. Also, you still lifeisgood to post her naggy, nasty, rude comments where she feels the need to insult and lecture everybody but hey, freedom of speech and all that.
The larger print is ok but the smaller one was fine too. The ads really cause the page to move even slower than it does.
It's a little harder to manuver around but that could just be getting used to something new.
Exactly. While my high school completely bombarded us with the regents studies, they barely touched up the SATs and what colleges are really looking for. They made it seem as if having a Regents Diploma would open up every door! It didn't. Maybe once upon a time it meant something but it hasn't meant squat in quite some time. No college application asked for it and no employer asked for it.
Fishman, please, enough. The Regents should NOT be a bar for measuring a teacher's competency if the students are being neglected in other more important areas of study. That is lame and pathetic. That statement is so beyond ridiculous it's laughable.
The regents are a complete waste. Having a regents diploma means nothing. It did not affect my acceptance into university nor did any prospective employer ask for it. Instead of stressing the regents schools should stress the SATs and maintaining a high gpa
Not a fan of Debi Rose or project hospitality but the kids shouldn't suffer. But the company I work at is collecting school items for kids so I am more than happy to contribute to that. Terry Troia is indeed disgusting but try to get past it to help a kid. They shouldn't suffer because of these two clowns
Once again Karma, you and Michael Bloomberg and the rest of your ilk can stay out of my personal life. End of story. You sitting here trying to convince everyone you are right and everyone else is wrong just proves my point. And anyone who eats on a subway, infant or adult, is disgusting. Good god, just go away. No one needs to be taught anything especially by you.
Personally anyone who is still nursing a two year old should be locked up. Enough is enough. That's not "bonding" or "nourishing" ..that's just sick and pathetic and bad parenting.
Six months...after that, the anti-bodies don't do a blessed thing.
Only white trash such as yourself would accept that post as being anything more than nonsense.
Now I know why chosenone decided to become a drug dealer. Her poor spelling, grammar and basic wording is so below average, she probably failed nursery school.
Swisher, WHAT? Please post in comprehensible english and not babble. And learn how to spell and use your words. Ure? What is URE? Missery? And where is your punctuation? Your post is a complete waste of three lines.
Go back to school and try to advance past the eight grade. What a disgrace.
Did I say SHE made excuses? No genius. I made a generalization. Please, and I"m asking nicely. Do me a favor and stop with all your corrections, judgments and general obnoxious attitude towards other posters here. You do not know everything and trust me when I tell you that you are no better than anyone else.
I have a mother.. I don't need you to lecture and nag.
Thank you
Seriously "mother"... Your teen age daughter who was busted with a huge amount of drugs (not to mention that classless tacky tat that she's got), what do you think people are going to say? oh what a sweet little girl.? Really? This is the problem with most of the parents on this dump...they make excuses up for their rotten little darlings.
Time to pay the piper. Let her straighten out. Maybe then all of you can work together to be useful members of society
Well said xnawrprns.
Great Comment..and yes, TommyCee is quite the trailer park trash isn't he?
Oh yeah, just try to get a cop to come to your house to ticket the car that's blocking your driveway. We call the precinct to have them come and deal with the drunken underage brats on Lamoka and they are keeping it consistent........they haven't shown up for the past three years...don't expect them to show up and do their jobs either. Lazy lazy lazy 122
I don't know who is more of an idiot....Jillian Rose or Maggie Schneider OR the idiot reporter who wrote this article thus lending creedence to the fact that the ignorant inbreeds of this island actually get annoyed if you dare park in front of their house. And if you live near public transportation, then expect for people to park on your block.
WOW! Tom Curitore...you are NOT a handsome man. What is that thing you are hugging in the picture? Seriously, you should consider not leaving your hovel at all. What an unattractive couple. Blech
When I park my car if I'm visiting someone, and someone comes out and screams that it's their spot and not to park in front of their house, I simply tell them: If ANYTHING happens to my car, keep in my mind that my car can be moved and fixed, but your house can't be.
I have never witnessed such rudeness and idiocy like these people who play musical cars because they are spiteful and refuse to park in their driveway. Or people who have to have four or more cars. For god's sake, we've made it on one car before. I walk if I can, something very few people do anymore.
It's disgusting and of course, these animals that participate in this type of behavior are too ignorant and selfish to see how revolting they are.

Anthropology: 2007-2008
At Haverford we teach social and cultural anthropology. Social and cultural anthropologists study human beings and human communities. We are interested in social life and organization, modes of subsistence, exchange practices, the family, politics and power, ritual and religion, gender, and all forms of expressive culture. Traditionally anthropologists have studied small-scale indigenous communities (once called "primitive societies") and rural populations, but now anthropologists also study state societies, urban communities, and the effects of globalization. Social and cultural anthropology has three central traits. First, we are comparative. This means that we compare social and cultural phenomena in one place to those in another, and that we explore the particular features of a specific people and place in relation to general theories about humans and human societies. This comparative method allows us to tease out what is unique and distinctive about the subject we are studying and what generally tends to be true about that sort of thing. Second, we are holistic. We try to get a sense of the context in which a particular incident or practice is occurring, as a way of developing a fuller understanding of that specific practice and of that place and those people and how things work there. Third, we engage in participant-observation fieldwork. Social and cultural anthropologists live in the communities they are studying for extended periods of time, in order to build a perspective that integrates an insider's and an outsider's points of view.

Gossip Girl
Blair Waldorf Quotes: Gossip Girl Quiz Time!
Let's face it: season five of Gossip Girl has basically belonged to the ever-evolving and dramaliiicious life of one Blair Waldorf!
Sure, there's been the occasional sidestep into the love life of Nate Archibald, or a peek at Serena vdW as a career woman here or there, but most o' the good stuff has been B-centric – and we aren't complaining one little bit! From royal weddings and royal minders, to suitors one, two, and three, Blair Waldorf has covered a lot of ground so far this season, and she's done so with charm – and insults! – to spare.

The Chicago Blackhawks surely didn't enjoy this past offseason as much as their previous one. After adding some much-needed toughness and depth to help their offense, they have made some major strides towards a return to the Stanley Cup finals. The Dallas Stars are relying on a rookie coach in hopes he would end their playoff drought. The task is made much harder with their leading scorer out of the picture.
Glen Gulutzan makes his NHL coaching debut as the Stars and Blackhawks kick off their seasons Friday night at American Airlines Center. He coached for two years with the Texas Stars Dallas' top minor league affiliate.
After winning its first Stanley Cup in over forty-nine years, the defending champs crept into the playoffs thanks to a Dallas loss on the final day of the 2010-11 regular season. The Hawks were ultimately eliminated by the Western Conference champions Vancouver in the first round.
Right wing Patrick Kane stated on ESPN.com "I think a lot of us have to prove that what we did two years ago wasn't really a fluke, Last year, we didn't have our best team and we almost did some damage."
Chicago general manager Stan Bowman, who is also signed for a three year contract, brought in some much needed veterans in Andrew Brunette, Jamal Mayers and Steve Montador, along with noted agitator Daniel Carcillo. They will join the core of Jonathan Toews, Kane, Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa.
"You need to be able to change the momentum, and that's usually with guys who play a certain (physical) style," Bowman told ESPN. "That's why we've added all those players while we've kept all our top guys."
You can say the Blackhawks are excited about their new additions to the team, while the Dallas Stars are counting on new players to make the departure of Brad Richards easier. They have signed right wing Michael Ryder and defenseman Sheldon Souray.
Corey Crawford showed that he can handle the load of being a starting goalie in the National Hockey League, and Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews continued to produce as two of the best young players in the game. The Hawks finished the season scoring 258 goals, which put them third in the Western Conference.
This should be a tough opening game for Chicago, because despite missing the playoffs, Dallas won 42 games and finished with 95 points in the competitive Pacific Division.

...and a couple more actions here and there:Boston Celtics first to 20 points
Rajon Rondo+12.5 Points OVER Kobe BryantPaul Pierce -0.5 Total 3 Pointers Made OVER Derek FisherKevin Garnett -0.5 Total Rebounds OVER Lamar Odom

Harry Pell opened the scoring with a penalty that sent Scott Davies the wrong way after Mark Roberts handled a corner from George Francomb in the 43rd minute.
Michael Smith doubled the lead shortly afterwards on the cusp of half-time after a deflection fell kindly for the on-loan Charlton striker to tuck away his second goal of the campaign.
The Dons have now won all three of their home games this season and Ardley, who took charge last October, was delighted with the display.
"That's probably the best performance since I've been here," he said.
"We thought they would play 4-3-3 and they must have looked at our last couple of games and thought there's goals there, rightly so, and went 4-4-2.
"We quickly changed a few things tactically before we went out and full credit to the boys for doing that.
"We'll look to freshen it up mid-week, there's a lot of tired bodies, a lot of players who have played every game and we have a really tough September coming up. York and Chesterfield are tough away games, and Burton at home, it's a tough schedule.
"We'll have a look and see what we can do and try to freshen it up.
"We have one or two players come off the bench who've done really well so if we can let them go out and stake their claim and get some minutes we will.
"Everyone will get their chance over the course of the season and everyone will play games."

Electronic Arts has announced that they will be giving away free games to those affected by the SimCity launch disaster. For those who have bought and activated SimCity, expect to receive an email from EA on March 18 telling you how to redeem your free game.
Maxis General Manager Lucy Bradshaw admits in a blogpost that EA is "dumb" for letting the servers crash despite the fact that they knew how many people were going to be playing.
"A lot more people logged on than we expected. More people played and played in ways we never saw in beta," she said.
"In the last 48 hours we increased server capacity to 120 percent. It's working – the number of people who have gotten in and built cities has improved dramatically. The number of disrupted experiences has dropped by roughly 80 percent."
Bradshaw goes on to boast that despite the shaky launch, SimCity is doing well in all major markets. "The consensus among critics and players is that this is fundamentally a great game.
"But SimCity is made to be played online, and if you can't get a stable connection, you're NOT having a good experience. So we're not going to rest until we've fixed the remaining server issues," she added.

Jim Mayfield: StarStruck gives kids dose of singing and acting over summer
So you think little Johnny has what it takes to be the country's next big song and dance man?
Mary sits on the patio for hours play acting with "Little Mermaid" action figures?
Or maybe you just need to find a creative outlet for the kids once school ends, which, if you haven't noticed, is just around the corner.
In addition to the wide array of summer camp offerings in Martin County, Stuart's StarStruck Performing Arts Center and Theatre has a solid lineup of offerings for everyone from kindergarten to high school seniors.
Registration for the group's summer programs opened April 2, and there's still plenty of room on the roster for local kids to sample "a little bit of everything the theater has to offer," said StarStruck acting coach Josh Noble.
Noble, who teaches the center's Acting I and Acting II courses, will illuminate the art of acting for children entering kindergarten through eighth grade in the fall in four, one-week Allstars camps, the first of which begins June 11.
Allstars will act, sing, dance and draw from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Additional sessions begin July 16, July 23 and July 30.
Noble is a New York Equity actor who has been appearing in the company's productions since 2005 and who recently joined StarStruck's staff full time.
"For me, I just loved this area and kept coming back. Now it's great to be in Stuart," he said.
Campers are encouraged to eat a full breakfast before arriving and bring a healthy snack. Four or five peanut butter and jelly sandwiches should do the trick.
For those looking for a bit more bite this summer, StarStruck is offering three productions for three age groups.
For "MiniStars," kindergarten to second grade, a "Prince & Princess Royal Revue" featuring Disney show tunes runs June 18 through July 14.
Third- through sixth-graders will take a shot at Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Oklahoma!" June 18 through July 14, and the big kids tackle "Legally Blonde" June 4 through July 1.
Each production will have its own run when the camps end.
For more information about StarStruck's summer programs or to register, visit the center's website at www.starstruckfl.com or call 772-283-2313.
And don't try to convince someone you didn't belt out the chorus to "Oklahoma!" just a bit earlier.

Charged way too much for what we ordered. Never got our food, so no idea if it tastes good in restaraunt, but ordering is a nightmare and now we're starving and have been yelled at and have no food.
Posted by Delores on 07/09/2010
Love love Topaz!! The waiters are couteous the food is delicious and the Mai-Tais are the bomb. However the place is quite small but they do have a large table by the window which is very roomy. You can reserve this table which I always do :)
Posted by kaswny on 06/03/2010
This is a small place but great food. The topaz steak is the best!! They are in the process of renovating and I hope the food stays as good and reasonable as it is. Where can you go and get food & drinks for less than 100 dollars?? Topaz
Posted by Anonymous on 04/05/2010
Great food. Good prices. Can get tight when crowded but it's worth it for quick good Thai food.
Posted by CheapoFoodie on 03/04/2010
Stumbled upon this after asking our driver where we should go for good Thai food. The food was great! It was very reasonable in price, but was also very flavorful and fresh. The service was great, even though the place is small and was so crowded you could not get in the door (good sign on a Wed night). You can tell this place is where local people go instead of paying to go to a higher profile place.

I ordered for a personal pickup. The restaurant looked nice and the waiters seemed nice. But, when I got back to the office to eat my drunken noodles I was definitely dissapointed. The dish itself wasn't particularly flavorful. The carrots they used were the ever repulsive frozen ridge cut horrors. Not impressive.
Posted by stephanie on 02/26/2010
Certainly not worth the prices. Food is bland, and it's not real Thai food. Cramped seating, not too clean. And you have to be careful, because they add an 18% gratuity to your check. If you don't pay attention, you could end up paying double tips. I would not recommend this restaurant.

1. McDonald's and P&G selling in different nations • Selling different products – Lose production economies of scale • Spreading fixed costs • Purchasing economies • Transportation economies • Inventories • Brand names – McDonald's -- same brand name, take advantage of umbrella branding • Consumers infer product quality from brand name – Procter and Gamble -- different brand names, unable to take advantage of umbrella branding 2. Poletown case • Background to case – New site needed, Poletown only site in Detroit, heavily populated – City, UAW in favor of Poletown, residents opposed – $200 million for Poletown site vs $65-80 million for alternative site • Stockholders -- fiduciary responsibility – Midwestern alternative • Stakeholders -- non-fiduciary, moral responsibility – Includes stockholders, community, employees, suppliers, alternative community, customers • Likely locate in Poletown • Same conclusion – If survival of company at risk – If satisfying stakeholders in best interests of stockholders (increases value) • Your choice -- depends on strength of argument 3. Dixieland Bottlers/Big Dog • Transfer pricing -- Big Dog better off if it acquires Dixieland and can increase price that Dixieland pays? • Opportunity cost -- best use of Big Dog's Resources? • Vertical integration vs. market transaction – Vertical integration • Reduce transactions costs (but already lifetime contract) • Increase coordination • Reduce leakage of private information – Market transaction • Reduce agency costs • Reduce influence costs • Although Dixieland pays less for Big Dog products, market share same as nationwide 4. Developing Countries' Demand for Specific Assets • Increase demand for specific assets, more vertical integration – Underdeveloped court system and contract law – Economies of scale 5. Patterns in many industries • A) Small firms outsource production – Less able to achieve economies of scale and learning economies • B) Standardized inputs outsourced, tailor- made not outsourced – Standardized inputs -- less asset specificity • Little risk of opportunism -- lower transactions costs • More opportunity for economies of scale – Tailor-made -- just the reverse 6. Diversification to diversify managerial risk (Ch 3-5) • Agency considerations -- difficult to measure divisional performance – Product diversification increases agent's opportunity for hidden information and hidden action (asymmetric information) • Risk attached to investment in relationship- specific assets • Shareholders spread risk – If shareholder owns large block of stock, can't sell without affecting stock price – Diversification resulting from internal development reduces risk by reducing asymmetric information – Diversified firms less likely to go bankrupt (all or nothing) – Economies of scope reduce risk 7. Holdup problem related to relationship-specific assets • Fundamental transformation with relationship-specific assets • Opportunity cost -- redeploying a specific asset reduces its value – Quasi-rents can be transferred to trading partner

The development of a green economy is at the forefront of President Obama's domestic agenda, and many say that developing a green economy is a key part of the nation's recovering economic health. While there has been an increased focus on green ideas and initiatives over the past few years, there are still many more questions about where we go from here.
How do we transition from ideas into action? How will the workforce adapt to take advantage of clean technologies? How do local policymakers respond to these initiatives? Just how necessary is this green economy?

A new actor played the role of Professor Charles Francis Xavier in this summer's X-Men: First Class, but Sir Patrick Stewart has no grudge against his replacement.
Stewart hasn't yet seen the movie, which released in June, but insists that is due to his busy life, not any bad feelings. "I haven't seen it," he said. "I haven't been to the movies in over nine months."

Would Failure To Strike Syria Invite More Chemical Weapons Use?
By editor
Ivo Daalder, who was U.S. ambassador to NATO during the 2011 military intervention in Libya, says the United States should conduct military strikes against Syria, even if it can't get the backing of the United Nations. He argues that Syrian President Bashar Assad would interpret inaction as an invitation to use chemical weapons in the future. He also says that despite asking for congressional approval for military action, this is ultimately President Obama's call. "This is a lonely place for presidents to be. It will be up to him to make that decision."

What I am about to say will not endear me to many chefs and restaurateurs . like anyone who loves his work, I try to be simpatico with my brothers –in-arms on most food issues. But when it comes to conservation and world ecology, I must part company with those who profit at the expense of one of the world's great animals. Too often, in my quest for the best of everything, I take for granted the abundance of raw materials that make eating such an enjoyment for me. Such is the case with caviar. For thirty years I've devoured all the caviar in sight whenever I could find or afford it. that enjoyment—and the ability to pay for it—now threatens the existence of the species that makes it possible.
According to the World Conservation Union, there are 20 species of sturgeon, all but two of which are threatened with extinction. Some of these magnificent fish can be over ten feet long, live to be 200 years old and can weigh over a thousand pounds. I'm not exaggerating.. , But since the breakup of the Soviet Union, poaching has increased to such a degree that the sturgeon's highly prized, and therefore costly, eggs are now extracted from the captures (and killed) females at unprecedented numbers.
What we now see is more high-end restaurants (especially in our biggest cities and especially in Las Vegas) featuring the Iranian variety which, they assure you, is bigger, better and rarer than anything you have tasted before. This means they can charge ever increasing prices that were outrageous to begin with. To be fair, they paid a dear bounty for this booty, but only because the rich and famous will respond in kind. They pay it to freewheeling un-regulated poachers fishing the Caspian Sea for all the profits they can haul in in the shortest time. Pure capitalism to be sure--- but a death knell to the king of freshwater fish.
Truth be told, I haven't tasted Iranian Beluga and don't intend to. But I have greedily savored these briny pearls of decadence for decades—from moscow to malibu--- without considering the consequences. There is nothing better with champagne and no other food brings a smile to my face as quickly. But pleasure—and consumption--must stop when another species' survival is threatened. There will be no jokes or sarcasm, puns or double entendres this day -- only a beseechment for others to follow suit.
Caviar, I will eat thee no more, forever.
This is John Curtas.

Bachelor of Science in Public Administration
Choosing Public Administration means majoring in an academic field with a defined professional outcome, where students share the vision to become public managers, leaders in governmental and non-profit agencies. Public administration students acquire skills and knowledge specifically useful for public management, alongside general perspectives on government and public policy making. At the University of La Verne, we offer course delivery in a variety of formats intended to meet the complex schedules of the contemporary student.
Why Public Administration? Why now?
Public sector employment, especially at the local level, is a "growth industry." Employment projections for Southern California Counties in the year 2005 indicate that State and Local Government employment will increase by 13 percent, and local, non-educational employment will gain 14 percent. Good people with public administration skills are needed to improve housing, transportation, public health, safety and emergency services, and growth management. These are the areas where our graduates are most likely to work.
Public administrators are the stewards of our nation's future, guiding how we perceive and address the major challenges and opportunities of our time. As a public administration student, you will learn how to translate the goals of citizens and elected officials into plans of action to improve our lives and communities. You will become familiar with the techniques and skills required to help government to be effective and efficient, making the work you do count every day in the lives of people across your community. Studying public administration has some clear advantages for students whose career goals involve public and nonprofit management. Some of these advantages are significant enough that public sector job postings stipulate a preference for a bachelor's degree in public administration.
Tradition, commitment, excellence and value
The University of La Verne has been in continuous operation since its founding in 1891, and is one of the only institutions of higher education in the country that offers continuous educational opportunity from bachelors to doctoral degrees in public administration. Because of our commitment to sustaining curricular excellence to the public administration field, we have streamlined the transition from undergraduate to masters, and masters to doctoral program completion for our students seeking further educational and employment opportunities. We believe each student is unique, and so we tailor our instruction to accommodate a range of learning modalities

How process asynchronous calls in Silverlight, by using custom Dispatcher
In current public alpha of Silverlight 1.1 there is no dispatcher. However there are STA and MTA. So, how to process long operations in background threads in MTA and update UI in STA? Well, let's write our own dispatcher. But this is not so simple, but it is possible. Let's start
How, actually works dispatcher? It's pumps system messages by using timer in Single Threaded Apartment. Let's write VeryLongMethod. It will be high precise π (PI) calculation. By passing all math stuff, I just point you to how I run the process
public static class BackgroundPiCalculator { static Thread worker; public static void RunCalculationAsync(int digits, int delayMs) { P = 2 + (digits + 7) / 8; D = delayMs; worker = new Thread(new ThreadStart(calc)); worker.IsBackground = true; worker.Start(); }
As you can see, I open new thread outside of MTA and run this long calculation. I added a couple of wait methods to be able to see the process. The next step is to create callbacks.
public static event EventHandler DoCalculation; public static event EventHandler<RunCalculationCompletedEventArgs> RunCalculationCompleted; public static event EventHandler<ProgressChangedEventArgs> ProgressChanged;
Well. By now, if we'll subscribe to those events from the right thread (STA), we'll get them in the thread where we subscribed. Right? Let's do it.
public void Page_Loaded(object o, EventArgs e) { // Required to initialize variables InitializeComponent(); PICalculator.BackgroundPiCalculator.RunCalculationAsync(10000,100); PICalculator.BackgroundPiCalculator.ProgressChanged += new EventHandler<BackgroundPiCalculator.ProgressChangedEventArgs>(BackgroundPiCalculator_ProgressChanged); PICalculator.BackgroundPiCalculator.RunCalculationCompleted += new EventHandler<BackgroundPiCalculator.RunCalculationCompletedEventArgs>(BackgroundPiCalculator_RunCalculationCompleted); }void BackgroundPiCalculator_ProgressChanged(object sender, BackgroundPiCalculator.ProgressChangedEventArgs e) { result.Text = e.PreliminaryResult.ToString(); progress.Text = e.ProgressPercentage.ToString() + "%"; }
Well, compile and run to get the error "Invalid cross-thread access".
Hmmm, it comes from the other thread, but I subscribed to event in my thread, so what's the problem? Ah, the object I'm trying to use was created in other thread. This why I can not access it from my thread. So what to do?
Windows threats such cases by sending block event and moving the object to executing thread. It just pumps messages. Let's do it.
We create two queues – one for result text and the other for progress. Then when the data arrived we'll enqueue the message. Concurrently we'll create timer in STA to pump and dequeue those messages. The only timer can work in UI thread is HtmlTimer. Please notice, that this class is obsolete due to "This is not a high resolution timer and is not suitable for short-interval animations. A new timer type will be available in a future release.". Hey, there a new dispatchers will be available as well in a future release? I believe, that they are. So, let's create a timer, queues and handlers
HtmlTimer t = new HtmlTimer(); t.Interval = 100; t.Tick += new EventHandler(t_Tick); t.Start();
void t_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { while (resultMessages.Count > 0) { result.Text = resultMessages.Dequeue(); } while (progressMessages.Count > 0) { progress.Text = progressMessages.Dequeue(); } }
Queue<string> resultMessages = new Queue<string>(); Queue<string> progressMessages = new Queue<string>();
And enqueue messages upon their arrival.
void BackgroundPiCalculator_ProgressChanged(object sender, BackgroundPiCalculator.ProgressChangedEventArgs e) { resultMessages.Enqueue(e.PreliminaryResult.ToString()); progressMessages.Enqueue(e.ProgressPercentage.ToString() + "%"); }
We done. Now the calculations will be performed asynchronously and we'll get a feedback into our UI.
Well done, so what's next? Next, we'll enqueue delegates and invoke them into right thread, but all this in the next post. Have a nice weekend.

It is, and this is the problem of WPF as well. The solution is aggresive locking. Seek my blog about multithreading

Sure tick works, but the issue isn't about getting stuff going again in the ui thread, as you said, "Ah, the object I'm trying to use was created in other thread." When you insert the string into the queue from the background thread, you are accessing the queue that was created in the ui thread. And when you dequeue the inserted string from the UI thread, the string was created in the background thread. What you've done is added the queue in the middle, instead of updating the TextBlock directly from the background thread. There's still plenty of cross thread access going on, it just that string and queue don't cause exceptions, whereas the UI components do. So the real issue is, some objects can be shared accross apartments, and some can't (particularily UI components.) That is the fundamental issue isn't it?

Jack, Tick event works in STA, thus it works. And it still will be relevan in 13 days
Jack Bond Says:

Hopefully this will all be irrelevant in 13 days, but isn't there still cross thread access going on here? When the background thread inserts items into the queue, it is accessing the queue created in the STA UI apartment, and when the Timer ticks, it dequeues the string created in the MTA background worker apartment. Unless I'm missing something, it just seems that the string and Queue classes are a little less tempermental to the cross thread access issues.
