Shaolin Vs. Wu-Tang is Raekwon's new album that will be released on March 8th. We previously heard the album's title track, and now we have another new song to feast on.
"Molasses" is the latest song to hit the web, and it doesn't disappoint. It features his main man Ghostface Killah and Rick Ross on guest vocals. I don't know about you, but this is one of the slickest beats to come out this year. Sure the years early, but I don't think it's every too early to praise a new Raekwon song. It does have a early 90's feel to it after all. Can't complain about that.
Check it out below:

Ghostface Killah has surprised me with the announcement that he has a new album called The Apollo Kids coming out on December 14th via Def Jam. It came with first single "Together Baby" which sounds like prime time Ghostface. Loving his signature delivery over the soulful sample. This one's a keeper:
Ghostface made a song in support of Rihanna. Chris Brown should take a listen.

We all like ourselves some Wu-Tang so it was cool to see a new Raekwon track out there. I know most of you guys are going wtf some rap on we all want someone to shout for? Well believe it or not I love myself some hip-hop every now and then. I just haven't really given it enough love on this blog. Well the new Raekwon track "Wu Ooh" is probably a good way to get back into it. The song features other Wu-Tangers; Ghostface Killah and Method Man. "Wu Ooh" is pretty much flawless with great verses from all 3 of them, with a really solid beat and cool background of…you guessed it….wu ooh's. I really enjoy those drums they worked in there. Overall this is pretty hot. The track will most likely be on "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2" his highly anticipated follow up to "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx". Let the anticipation begin! Check it out:

Best Coast are one of the true lo-fi groups that I truly believe in. They have a real genuine sound. Best Coast is really the moniker of Beth Cosentino. She has released a few singles as Best Coast, receiving a lot of praise from the likes of Pitchfork, and music blogs all over the map. They are getting set to release their debut album this year, and you can read more about them in our post here. Beth gave us a minute of her time to give us a pretty laid back interview. You can tell that Beth is a down to earth chick who is very easy going and fun to be around. I tried to keep it as real as I could, and she did the same. Check it out below:
Will: Tell me a little bit about the history of Best Coast. How did it all come together?
Beth: I moved home to los angeles after living in new york for about a year. I pretty much just started writing songs as soon as I got home. I asked my friend bobb if he would help me record the stuff, and if he wanted to play with me, and he said yes, and almost a year later, here we are !
Will: You are known for your California sound. Tell me about some of your influences, and how you pieced together your sound!
Beth: I'm really inspired by the beach boys, all the phil spector groups, and stuff like 50's doo-wop—the platters, the flamingos, etc. I'm also really into stuff like the ramones, and the kinks—and sort of that "lazy" rock n roll sound, so I guess in a way I thought I would somehow try to combine those two sounds. Make some kind of pretty sounding, warm, yet grungy, and sometimes heavy music. Does that even make sense? Haha…
Will: I read that your dissatisfaction in NYC helped you get to where you are right now? I am a native New Yorker so I am a bit offended (jokingly)! Care to explain?
Beth: :-p new york just wasn't the right place for me. I think some people are cut out for it, and others aren't. I am way too lazy and chilled out to live in new york. Too much effort, hahaha. Plus, I couldn't stand the weather. The cold made me so depressed. I think I'm just better suited to live in a place where the sun shines 80% of the year.
Will : You released a lot of singles! Can you tell us a little bit about them?
Beth: The first one we did was on art fag. My friend Mario runs the label and he asked if I'd be down to do a 7", so I just gave him 3 songs that bobb and I had recorded. That is the one that has "sun was high (so was i)" on it—that's actually the first time I ever wrote/recorded as best coast. the second one we did was on a label based out of NY called group tightener. Again, just gave them some songs we'd already recorded. The most recent one we did was the black iris 7". For this one we actually went into a studio (black iris studios, in LA) and recorded an a and a b side—which turned out to be "when I'm with you" and "this is real"—we added live drums and experimented with production and stuff, and it was really fun. It's pretty different than the other 7"s, which I think is fitting, because it's a lot closer to the way the album will sound than the early stuff was.
Will: Your sound is very lo-fi, what are your thoughts about lo-fi and its takeover of the indie scene?
Beth: Personally I don't really understand where the resurgence came from, but I'm glad its around.
Will : Do you think you will ever abandon the lo-fi production/sound and move to a cleaner sound?
Beth: I think that our record is probably going to be a lot less lo-fi—but that doesn't mean it won't still have stuff like reverb and distortion and fuzz and what not..i think it's just going to sound a little more produced and a little bit less "I recorded this in my bedroom"
Will: What has it been like touring as Best Coast?
Beth: well we haven't officially toured yet, but we head out for our west coast tour with Vivian girls in 2 weeks, and I couldn't be more excited.
Will : Whats your Almost Famous moment? If you've never seen the movie (watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qn3tel9FWU ), What is that one "defining" moment that you will always remember during your time as Best Coast?
Beth: probably when I was asked to be in nylon magazine as part of a feature of up and coming female musicians. I was kind of like "wait what, really???" it was pretty exciting, and my parents were really stoked too, which made me even happier.
Will : What does the future hold for Best Coast? When is your debut album coming out! Will you re-use any songs from the 7 inch singles, or will it be all new stuff?
Beth: The album will be out at some time this year, hopefully in the fall. It's all new recordings! I'm both nervous and excited about it, but mostly I'm excited.
Will: Favorite Beer?
Beth : Well I'm allergic to gluten so I don't drink beer, but when I did drink beer I was really into Budweiser, plain and simple man.
Will: Favorite Album Of 2009?
Beth: Phoenix- Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
Will: Favorite Album Of The Decade?
Beth: Ghostface Killah- Fishscale
Will: Job you would have if you weren't in a band?
Beth: chef or journalist or maybe a cat trainer.
There you have it guys! Thanks a lot to Beth for taking the time out of her busy schedule and answer some of my questions!!
Check out Beth's latest single "Up All Night" which came out on a split single with Jeans Wilder. She has another single coming out on February 9th that you can purchase from PPM here for her single Something In The Way. It features two new songs ""Wish He Was You" & "The Road".

European land sector in danger of losing key capabilities, says EDA report
Posted: 03/05/2013 12:00:00 AM EST
The European land industrial sector is more fragmented than the air and naval sectors and is in danger of losing key capabilities and skills in the current financial climate. That's the conclusion of a 12 month study conducted by the European Defence Agency (EDA), which also highlighted the need to improve interoperability between member states and held that "Pooling & Sharing is more crucial than ever."
The Future Land Systems (FLS) study explored the demand and supply side challenges in the European land defence industry, which accounts for 25% of all defence expenditure and employs 128,000 highly skilled people.
Speaking to EDA's Chief Executive in December, Claude-France Arnould told me that the land sector is "a driver of innovation and creates spin-offs into the civil sector." She went on to state that, "most of the troops deployed abroad are land forces, so it is really a key sector both operationally and for industry and growth." The overall turnover of the European land defence industry is 17 billion Euros annually and it employs about 128,000 high-skilled workers.
The next step, according to the EDA, is to launch demonstrator programmes with member states and move to improve efficiencies in the supply chain. For this the SME community will be a particular focus.
The FLS report has eleven recommendations:
1) To coordinate and harmonise European Defence Technology export and import regulations.
2) To strengthen the EDA role as the coordinator for the Land System Sector.
3) To implement interoperability standards (including methods for simulation training and encryption, protocols, open architectures, etc).
4) To invest in proposed future defence technologies.
5) To perform studies and projects in the areas of new methods for funding, methods for harmonisation, qualification procedures, rationalisation of test and evaluation centres, cross recognition of certification, outsourcing of maintenance and logistics and new business models.
6) To establish new education opportunities for the defence industry workforce.
7) To study the effects of Pooling and Sharing on the industrial supply chain.
8) To perform studies and projects in the area of new Power Sources for land assets.
9) To perform studies and projects to improve War Gaming and Combat Simulations methods.
10) To perform studies and projects regarding Protection materials.
11) To perform studies and projects in the area of Electronics (including FPGA).

MIDDLEBURY — Visitors to the new M Gallery at 3 Mill Street who fail to discuss the art are missing the point.
"We want to create a community that communicates with each other," said Cha Tori, a Middlebury College senior who helped charter the gallery.
Until Nov. 17, the M Gallery will display "Vision Obscured," an exhibit of abstract photography by seven Middlebury students. The show opened this past Friday, and is curated by Tori.
When Goshen resident Dick Conrad's immune system attacked his muscles in August of 2008, leaving him totally paralyzed, in August of 2008, he faced up to a recovery period that included months in the hospital and more in a wheelchair.
MIDDLEBURY — It was August 2008 — deep in the heart of bike-riding, lawn-mowing season — when Goshen resident Dick Conrad found himself completely immobile. Almost overnight, his immune system had mistakenly attacked the nerves in his body, a result of the very rare Guillain-Barre syndrome.
After two-and-a-half years of rehabilitation, Conrad is relieved to count himself among the healthy again. But one need only step into Carol's Hungry Mind Café in Middlebury to see that Conrad stayed busy even during his recovery period.

Chris Rossi, Custodian for Vanessa Rossi, P.O. Box
249, Boonville, California 95415, owner of 600 shares
of the Company's common stock, proposes the
Resolved, Shareholders request that our Board adopt
a bylaw or charter amendment that any future or current
poison pill be subject to a shareholder vote as a
separate ballot item, to be held as soon as possible.
A poison pill is such a drastic step that a required
shareholder vote on a poison pill is important enough
to be a permanent part of our bylaws or charter rather
than a fleeting short-lived policy.
It is essential that a sunset not be used as an escape
clause from a shareholder vote. Since a vote would
be as soon as possible, it could take place within
4-months of the adoption of a new poison pill. Since
a pill is such a drastic measure that deserves shareholder
input, a shareholder vote would be required even if
a pill had been allowed to expire.
Chris Rossi, P.O. Box 249, Boonville, Calif. 95415
sponsors this proposal.
"Poison pills … prevent shareholders, and
the overall market, from exercising their right to
discipline management by turning it out. They entrench
the current management, even when it's doing
a poor job. They water down shareholders' votes
and deprive them of a meaningful voice in corporate
"Take on the Street" by Arthur Levitt, SEC
Chairman, 1993-2001
"[Poison pill] That's akin to the argument
of a benevolent dictator, who says, 'Give up
more of your freedom and I'll take care of you.'"
T.J. Dermot Dunphy, CEO of Sealed Air (NYSE) for 25
"That's the key negative of poison pills
-instead of protecting investors, they can also preserve
the interests of management deadwood as well."
Morningstar.com, Aug. 15, 2003
Verizon does not have a shareholder rights plan, or
"poison pill." Moreover, the Board of
Directors has adopted a policy that requires the Board
to seek shareholder approval in the unlikely event
that the Board were to determine that such a plan
were necessary.
The policy is contained in Verizon's Corporate
Governance Guidelines. It provides that the Board
will not adopt a shareholder rights plan without shareholder
approval. If the Board, in the exercise of its fiduciary
duty, determines that it is in the best interest of
shareholders to adopt a shareholder rights plan, it
will either seek prior shareholder approval or present
the plan to shareholders for their approval within
one year of adopting the plan. If the plan is not
approved by shareholders, it will expire one year
from the date it is adopted and cannot be renewed
or replaced. Any plan adopted by the Board must also
contain a "sunset" provision, providing
that shareholders will have the opportunity to ratify
or reject the plan every three years following the
date of initial shareholder approval.
In the Board's view, this policy preserves both
its ability to appropriately exercise its fiduciary
duty in a timely manner and the shareholders'
ability to evaluate and act on any shareholder rights
plan or ensure that it expires.
Accordingly, the Board of Directors recommends a vote
AGAINST this proposal.

Draft of Mitch Daniels's Response to State of the Union!?
1:19 PM, Jan 19, 2012 • By WILLIAM KRISTOL
This morning, the Republican leadership on the Hill announced that Indiana governor Mitch Daniels would deliver the GOP response Tuesday night to President Obama's State of the Union Address. An hour ago, a dark lady mysteriously appeared at our offices and dropped off an envelope before vanishing down the stairwell. We can't vouch for the authenticity of the document the envelope contained, of course. But it appears to be a draft of a section—the final section, apparently—of Daniels's speech text. On the first page of the section is typed, in capital letters, "DO NOT CIRCULATE WITH THE REST OF THE SPEECH DRAFT—THIS IS UNDER PERSONAL CONSIDERATION BY THE GOVERNOR."
Here's the draft section:

Wyclef Jean: "Rivers of Babylon" After a night of stirring performances, it was only right that Wyclef Jean closed out "Hope for Haiti Now." The Haitian-born star — who immediately traveled to his homeland in the aftermath of the earthquake and has raised millions of dollars for relief efforts — delivered a moving rendition of the reggae classic "Rivers of Babylon." The biblically inspired "Rivers" was written and performed by Brent Dowe and Trevor McNaughton of the Jamaican trio the Melodians in 1972, and it was included on the soundtrack to the classic Jamaican crime film "The Harder They Come." Its lyrics are based largely on Psalm 137, which details the Jewish people's despair after being exiled from Jerusalem by the Babylonians. A 1978 cover version of "Rivers of Babylon" by the disco group Boney M hit #1 in the United Kingdom and stayed there for five weeks; it peaked on the U.S. pop charts at #30. Sublime's 1992 debut 40 Oz. to Freedom featured a live version of the track, which has also been covered by Paul Simon and Sinead O'Connor. "Let the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in thy sight here tonight," 'Clef sang. That meditation, taken from Psalm 19, seemed like a fitting epigram for a night filled with appeals for awareness and assistance. Stars flock to telethon to raise money for Haiti quake victims. Hope For Haiti Now: A Global Benefit For Earthquake Relief. Millions of people around the world have tuned in to the "Hope fo...

The Haynesville Shale, a large natural gas reserve, has increased the number of trucks traveling DeSoto Parish roads. / Mike Silva/File/The Times
The Haynesville Shale is likely to become America's largest natural gas field and perhaps the fourth largest in the world, Chesapeake Energy Chairman and CEO Aubrey McClendon disclosed Wednesday in a conference call with its newest partner, Plains Exploration and Production Co.
Oklahoma-based Chesapeake is so committed to development of the deep underground natural gas reserve spread across several parishes in northwest Louisiana and into east Texas that it so far has invested $2.5 billion, McClendon said.
The conference call and audio webcast from Chesapeake's corporate headquarters follows Tuesday's announcement of a joint venture between Chesapeake and Plains Exploration and Production Co., also known as PXP. As part of the deal, PXP will pay $1.65 billion for 20 percent interest in Chesapeake's lease holdings on the Haynesville Shale.
PXP also will fund 50 percent of the drilling and completion costs in Chesapeake's remaining 80 percent interest until an additional $1.65 billion has been paid. The end result is that PXP will hold 110,000 acres and Chesapeake, 440,000 acres, on the Haynesville Shale.
McClendon's confidence in the Haynesville Shale's ability to produce such volumes of natural gas is based on two years of research. More than 70 well penetrations into the deep shale in an area considered the core were analyzed, along with hundreds outside of the core, he said.
McClendon remains vague, though, on the boundaries of the Haynesville Shale. The "four corners," as he described them, of the play are being somewhat defined because of drilling activities.
But he's confident the underground reserve is spread over 3.5 million acres that falls in the core area. He would not specify how much is in Louisiana and how much spills into east Texas.
"I don't want to give a complete roadmap to others," he said.
James C. Flores, PXP's president and CEO, said his company joined Chesapeake after poring over its data collected on the Haynesville Shale.
It has consistent high properties throughout. And "excellent recovery stats to date," Flores said.
"Our conclusion (is) "» the Haynesville is a world class reservoir, and Chesapeake's position smack dab in the middle of it will be a great position for PXP.
"Chesapeake and PXP plan to aggressively develop the acreage."
McClendon described the Haynesville Shale as a "highly pressured formation" having twice the pressures of the Barnett and Fayetteville shales. And there's no comparison, he said, to the first eight horizontal wells drilled on the Haynesville all being in Louisiana and the first eight on the Barnett and Fayetteville shales.
"These wells pay back pretty quickly "» and not quite a financial strain as you would think," McClendon said.
The eight wells are producing anywhere from 5 million to 15 million cubic feet of natural gas a day on restricted chokes. Barnett Shale wells are producing less at open choke.
McClendon joked that the Barnett wells often are referred to as monster wells, so with the Haynesville Shale's wells being about three times more productive, they should be referred to as "triple X monsters."
The wells, which he described as being in a class of their own, will only get better with time.
"The amazing part about this reservoir is the consistency of it and simplicity of it. "» This one is a different animal because of the ferocity and dynamics of it," Flores said.
From an infrastructure perspective, the north Louisiana area is a perfect spot, McClendon said. It has plenty of water, was ready for drilling, already had gas pipelines in place and it was "relatively easy" to get the lease acreage put together.
And the proximity to the market also makes it easier to get the gas out at a reduced cost, he said.
Flores noted that Louisiana is one of the biggest net consumers of natural gas in the nation. To be a supplier of its own natural gas will have tremendous impact across the state.
Chesapeake plans to have 12 rigs online by year's end, 30 by 2009 and 60 by 2010. The company anticipates drilling 600 wells over the next three years. It has 27 rigs on order and will contract with third parties to put together the additional equipment that is needed.
McClendon does not anticipate that Chesapeake will sell any of its Haynesville Shale interest. Instead, the company will be looking for more to buy and lease. Approximately 4,000 landmen are in the field. Chesapeake is working with Twin Cities in Shreveport in that effort.
"We hope to be the only game in town for the owners of small blocks of land," McClendon said.
Along another line, McClendon said the Haynesville Shale discovery should open the door for the United States to more widely market natural gas. The country is 99 percent self-sufficient on natural gas, he said.
McClendon pledged to put on a "full-court press" to try to get people to recognize that fuel stations retrofitted for natural gas is the best option to the dependence on foreign oil.
"It's a potentially hugely liberating event for our country. "» We've probably doubled America's reserves with this play."

D700 Live View focus issue and no focus beep issue
Nov 4, 2012
Doing some focus testing. Live view shot is not focusing with shutter press or AFON button. Have wired remote plugged in. If I manually focus and get the green box and then press the remote, get a fuzzy refocus and firing of the shutter.
Also D1 beep is on, but get no confirmation beep.
When out of live view then focus works correctly, but still no beep.
Manual exposure
Focus (focus or release - no change to outcome.)
What settings am I missing?

"Air Force's time of attack depends on weather conditions. These could change the time of attack and also limit the area of operations. The weather of the last few days, for instance, would have delayed the start until between 0800 and 1100 due to low ceiling in Bavaria."Then I'll skip to the last two paragraphs on Page 91:
"Thus it is proposed:The initial at the end of that order is "J" meaning, I think clearly, Jodl.
"Attack by the Army independent of the attack by the Air Force at the time desired by the Army (0615), and permission for limited operations to take place before then; however, only to an extent that will not alarm the entire Czech front.
The Luftwaffe will attack at a time most suitable to them."
"As a result of the political situation the Führer and Chancellor has ordered mobilization measures for the Armed Forces, without the political situation being aggravated by issuing the mobilization (X) order, or corresponding code words.Then I skip to the last paragraph:
"Within the framework of these mobilization measures it is necessary for the Armed Forces authorities to issue demands to the various Party authorities and their organizations, which are connected with the previous issuing of the mobilization order, the advance measures or special code names. "The special situation makes it necessary that these demands be met (even if the code word has not been previously issued) immediately and without being referred to higher authority. "OKW requests that subordinate offices be given immediate instructions to this effect, so that the mobilization of the Armed Forces can be carried out according to plan."
"The Supreme Command of the Armed Forces further requests that all measures not provided for in the plans which are undertaken by Party organizations or Police units, as a result of the political situation, be reported in every case and in plenty of time to the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces Only then can it be guaranteed that these measures can be carried out in practice.

Organizers for Hot August Nights say with the event just a month away there are still openings available and they are hoping local car enthusiasts fill them.
Past participants say they've been getting phone calls saying registration for this year's event remains open and that's set some wondering if sign ups are lagging.
Not so, says Executive Director Tony Marini. It's a deliberate attempt to lure locals back to the area's biggest special event.
"We're going to make sure our locals can get in. If they've got cars and they want to get registered, come down to see us. We're going to put you in because locals are the ones that made the event."
This year's event gets underway at South Lake Tahoe Friday August 3 and continues through the following weekend in Reno and Sparks.
Marini says registration for all venues remains open.

PALO ALTO CREEK (Gillespie County). Palo Alto Creek rises southeast of Cherry Mountain in central Gillespie County (at 30°22' N, 98°54' W) and runs southeast for sixteen miles to its mouth (at 30°14' N, 98°46' W) on the Pedernales River, one mile north of U.S. Highway 290. The stream is intermittent in its upper reaches. It rises in the hills of the eastern Edwards Plateau and crosses into the Central basin, running through flat to rolling terrain with loamy and clayey soils; vegetation consists primarily of grasses and open stands of live oak, Ashe juniper, and mesquite.

Canon reveals new SD, A-series cameras
updated 09:00 am EST, Thu February 22, 2007
Canon SD and A Series 2007
Continuing its announcements in advance of the PMA trade show, Canon on Thursday unveiled four cameras for its point-and-shoot PowerShot line. The SD1000 and SD750 both designed as much for style as function, Canon says: either model has the option of a black tone around the lens, emphasizing the signature PowerShot look. The cameras are also the Japanese firm's thinnest optical zoom models, shrinking to 19.4mm (0.76 inches) in the case of the SD1000. Each model has a 7.1-megapixel sensor and 3X optical zoom, also using single DIGIC III processor to clean their images and boost normal ISO sensitivity to 1600.
The SD1000 will ship with a 2.5-inch LCD, optical viewfinder, and traditional SD-series control for $300; the SD750 drops the viewfinder in exchange for a 3-inch LCD and a new touch control dial for $350. Both are due in late March.
Click through for photos and more details.
In turn, the camera maker has also upgraded its mid-range PowerShot A-series. Both the A560 and A570 IS use the DIGIC III to bring face-detection and ISO 1600 to A-series photos for the first time; the chip also brings red-eye correction during on-camera editing. Resolution on the two models is equal to the new SD series at 7.1-megapixels, but uses the larger lens to boost the optical zoom to 4X. A 2.5-inch LCD is equally standard on both editions.
The A570 IS brings image stabilization and will be available in March for $280; the A560 will go without the technology but should arrive at the same time for $230.
PowerShot A570 IS (A560 is similar)

Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram
Higgins, Paul (2012): Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram. figshare.http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.101044
This is a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram showing stellar absolute magnitude (how luminous a star is) versus "color-magnitude" (B-V; how red or blue a star is). Stellar data from the HIPPARCOS (black dots) and Gliese (gray dots) catalogues were used. Thus this HR diagram is biased toward nearby (Gliese) or bright (HIPPARCOS) stars.
The color bar indicates temperature in units of 10^3 Kelvin. The Main Sequence and Giant Branch are indicated, as well as the primary stars of interest for the Trinity College Dublin (Ireland) Astrophysics Research Group (the Sun, Betelgeuse and EG Andromeda). As you can see, the Sun is quite an average star.
This diagram will be published in my PhD thesis (Higgins, 2012; submitted).

EAST GREENWICH ŌĆö At first glance, the goal for a March 31 reopening of the Greenwich Odeum seems just a dream.
No lights in the theater. No seats. A chaotic mess on stage. And on a subfreezing January morning outside, itŌĆÖs not much warmer inside.
But if you look closely, you can see a few signs that argue otherwise.
The wood frame reducing the size of the stage, the Odeum Corp.ŌĆÖs way around state requirements of sprinklers for a larger stage, is slowly taking shape. The bathrooms, though still primitive by modern standards, have received a cleaning. Two of the new cushier seats that will replace the old hard ones await tryouts in the lobby.
For more on the story, check out the Jan. 26 edition of the East Greenwich Pendulum.

As you can see now, solution validators are the game changers when it comes to working with sandbox solutions. The real answer to our problem is understanding what rules are being enforced.
With a list of known rules, you can obviously tailor your code to that environment. Again, thanks to the MCMs, all of us now have a little more insight into what it takes to develop products for Office 365.
Here's two resources that developers can reference:
It's worth calling out that the FxCop rules are brand spanking new thanks to Kimmo Forss, a fellow MCM and member of the Office 365 team. The FxCop rules are still a work in progress as Kimmo and team work out a few other issues; however, with more info and tools, developers should have a better grasp of what is and is not allowed on Office 365.
Happy sandbox coding...

INANCIAL Secretary Sir Donald Tsang Yam-kuen yesterday said the
government was prepared to hold for the long term the blue-chip shares
it had acquired through active intervention in order to ensure market
He did not rule out further market intervention in the event of future
speculative attack _ a clear indication that the government might
continue to accumulate shares of blue chips in the coming days.
Silas Chan, director of Champ Pacific Capital, said the government had
acquired an estimated $120 billion worth of blue-chip shares in a
speculators who were using stock futures to speculate against the HK
"The whole purpose of going into the market is to restore order. For
that reason, when we unload these stocks it will be an orderly
operation, it will not be an abrupt operation," Sir Donald told
Traders and economists, however, said the government may have no
option but to keep the shares for the long-term because the market
would crash if it attempted to sell the shares in the current
"Obviously, if they will sell all of their shares at one time the
market will crash. Because they took this extraordinary step they have
the responsibility to unwind their positions in a responsible way,"
according to Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) regional economist
David O'Rear.
"If they accept that the government has no role in playing the stock
market, then they should take six, 12, or 15 months to slowly sell-off
their shares at a rate that should be predictable and publicised," Mr
O'Rear said.
"This would allow the market to understand the government has made a
mistake and it's getting out of the business of the manipulating stock
Sir Donald said the government had no intention to hang on to the
shares "forever".
"These are blue chips, these are the assets of Hong Kong, they are
for Hong Kong people. We bought them at a rate when the Hang Seng
Index was below 8,000 and it is a very good investment as far as the
exchange fund is concerned. I am quite happy to hold them for a long
while," he said.
Sir Donald said that when the time came to sell, the government would
do so "in an orderly operation".
"The most important thing is whether we are able to maintain
stability in the market and whether we also get the confidence of the
people of Hong Kong and also the local and overseas investors," he
He said it was important Hong Kong maintained stability "when the
financial crisis is so severe in other parts of Asia".
"I think they (speculators) will be deterred by our action this
time," he said, adding that it was hoped the HKMA "will see a lesser
need to intervene" in future.
But Sir Donald warned: "We are vigilant."

Nine Principles of Good Practice for Assessing Student Learning
Assessment is not an end in itself but a vehicle for educational improvement. Its effective practice, then, begins with and enacts a vision of the kinds of learning we most value for students and strive to help them achieve. Educational values should drive not only what we choose to assess but also how we do so. Where questions about educational mission and values are skipped over, assessment threatens to be an exercise in measuring what's easy, rather than a process of improving what we really care about.
Learning is a complex process. It entails not only what students know but what they can do with what they know; it involves not only knowledge and abilities but values, attitudes, and habits of mind that affect both academic success and performance beyond the classroom. Assessment should reflect these understandings by employing a diverse array of methods, including those that call for actual performance, using them over time so as to reveal change, growth, and increasing degrees of integration. Such an approach aims for a more complete and accurate picture of learning, and therefore firmer bases for improving our students' educational experience.
Assessment is a goal-oriented process. It entails comparing educational performance with educational purposes and expectations -- those derived from the institution's mission, from faculty intentions in program and course design, and from knowledge of students' own goals. Where program purposes lack specificity or agreement, assessment as a process pushes a campus toward clarity about where to aim and what standards to apply; assessment also prompts attention to where and how program goals will be taught and learned. Clear, shared, implementable goals are the cornerstone for assessment that is focused and useful.
Information about outcomes is of high importance; where students "end up" matters greatly. But to improve outcomes, we need to know about student experience along the way -- about the curricula, teaching, and kind of student effort that lead to particular outcomes. Assessment can help us understand which students learn best under what conditions; with such knowledge comes the capacity to improve the whole of their learning.
Assessment is a process whose power is cumulative. Though isolated, "one-shot" assessment can be better than none, improvement is best fostered when assessment entails a linked series of activities undertaken over time. This may mean tracking the process of individual students, or of cohorts of students; it may mean collecting the same examples of student performance or using the same instrument semester after semester. The point is to monitor progress toward intended goals in a spirit of continuous improvement. Along the way, the assessment process itself should be evaluated and refined in light of emerging insights.
Student learning is a campus-wide responsibility, and assessment is a way of enacting that responsibility. Thus, while assessment efforts may start small, the aim over time is to involve people from across the educational community. Faculty play an especially important role, but assessment's questions can't be fully addressed without participation by student-affairs educators, librarians, administrators, and students. Assessment may also involve individuals from beyond the campus (alumni/ae, trustees, employers) whose experience can enrich the sense of appropriate aims and standards for learning. Thus understood, assessment is not a task for small groups of experts but a collaborative activity; its aim is wider, better-informed attention to student learning by all parties with a stake in its improvement.
Assessment recognizes the value of information in the process of improvement. But to be useful, information must be connected to issues or questions that people really care about. This implies assessment approaches that produce evidence that relevant parties will find credible, suggestive, and applicable to decisions that need to be made. It means thinking in advance about how the information will be used, and by whom. The point of assessment is not to gather data and return "results"; it is a process that starts with the questions of decision-makers, that involves them in the gathering and interpreting of data, and that informs and helps guide continuous improvement.
Assessment alone changes little. Its greatest contribution comes on campuses where the quality of teaching and learning is visibly valued and worked at. On such campuses, the push to improve educational performance is a visible and primary goal of leadership; improving the quality of undergraduate education is central to the institution's planning, budgeting, and personnel decisions. On such campuses, information about learning outcomes is seen as an integral part of decision making, and avidly sought.
There is a compelling public stake in education. As educators, we have a responsibility to the publics that support or depend on us to provide information about the ways in which our students meet goals and expectations. But that responsibility goes beyond the reporting of such information; our deeper obligation -- to ourselves, our students, and society -- is to improve. Those to whom educators are accountable have a corresponding obligation to support such attempts at improvement.

famous tale of how a group of Scottish islanders raided
a shipwreck for its consignment of 24,000 cases of whisky
has grown into a legend.
the wreck of the ship that became the inspiration for one
of Britain's best-loved films was carrying something far
more valuable.
files released recently by the Public Records Office show
that it was not just spirits that disappeared - but a substantial
sum of hard cash.
SS Politician sank off the Scottish Island of Eriskay in
1941 and eight years later the film Whisky Galore recounted
the story of how the locals raced to retrive the ship's
liquid cargo, hiding the bottles before the excise men could
find them.
as well as whisky, the Politician was carrying eight cases
of currency to the West Indies and the United States.
all, there were nearly 290,000 ten-shilling notes, which
would be worth the equivalent of several million pounds
at today's prices.
the Crown Agents, who were supplying the notes to the colonial
administration in Jamaica, were confident they would not
get into circulation, for years they kept turning up at
banks around the world.
April 1941 Captain E. Lauriston, who was in charge of the
salvage operation noted that there were reports of banknotes
from the wreck turning up on Benbecula.
Crown Agents were not concerned, noting in a memorandum
: "the local police service is in no doubt on a very,
very small scale but the nature of the place and its surroundings
should tend to reduce the chances of serious loss through
the notes being presented and paid."
following month, however, an empty cash case was found abandoned
in the hold of the ship. By June of that year the notes,
were turning up in bank branches as far away as Liverpool.
By mid July, 168 had been tendered in Jamacia and 141 in
1958, the Crown Agents reported that 211,267 notes had been
recovered by the salvage company or Scottish police and
had been destroyed.
A further 2,329 had been presented in banks in England,
Scotland, Ireland, Switzerland, Malta, Canada, the United
States and Jamacia, of which only 1,509 were thought to
have been presented in good faith. But that still left 76,404
notes which were never accounted for and whose fate remains
The current trend for remakes of classic films is set to
continue with plans for a new version of arguably Scotland's
finest film, Whisky Galore! The remake of the classic Ealing
comedy set in the Western Isles is the brainchild of French-based
media giant Canal Plus.
The original, shot on location on Barra in 1948, tells the
story of a ship that runs aground off the fictitious island
of Todday and the wily islanders' attempts to outwit Customs
officers and salvage thousands of cases of whisky.
The film was based on a novel by Compton Mackenzie, which
was inspired by the wreck of the SS Politician off Eriskay
in 1941.
It is understood "advance discussions" are under
way between representatives of Canal Plus and a British
production company to remake the film, but no stars have
been chosen yet.
Donald Manford, Western Isles councillor for Barra, welcomed
the proposal.
He said: "It would be absolutely wonderful to shoot
the film on Barra again, both for the economy directly and
the impact the movie would have on tourism by advertising
the beauty of the island.
"A remake is certainly something I would strongly encourage
and we would help the film's makers in any way we can."
Mr Manford, whose grandfather was involved in the real-life
drama on Eriskay more than 60 years ago, added: "People
around here joke that the only politician that brought us
any good is lying at the bottom of the sea. Maybe she will
bring us luck again."
The original film had a large cast including the leading
Scottish actors of the day such as Gordon Jackson, Duncan
Macrae and James Robertson Justice.
Scottish first-time director Sandy Mackendrick and an 80-strong
cast and crew sailed for Barra from Oban, and had to contend
with the worst summer for 80 years.
The film went over budget and over schedule and was considered
a disaster when studio boss Michael Balcon first saw it.
He wanted to cut it down and release it as a supporting
film. It was re-edited, but the film still performed poorly
on its original release. A sequel, called Rockets Galore!,
was also shot on Barra.
Calan Plus inherited the rights to the Ealing comedies and
other British films through a series of takeovers, and is
keen to exploit remake rights.

2004 - Team signs up for Whisky Galore remake
Plans for a remake of the classic film Whisky Galore have
taken a step forward, with a British production team signing
up to the project.
Whisky Galore Film Ltd, comprising the people behind films
such as the Madness of King George and Confessions of a
Dangerous Mind, could be making the Outer Hebridean island
of Eriskay famous again as the backdrop of the now-legendary
Compton MacKenzie tale.
It was revealed last year that French film company Canal
Plus, which now owns all the Ealing Comedy rights, was planning
to remake the 1949 classic. It is understood the remake
is to be shot in Scotland.
A statement from the production company read: "Whisky
Galore Film Ltd can confirm they have optioned from Studio
Canal the remake rights of Sir Compton MacKenzie's book
Whisky Galore. We are in the early stages of development,
but will hopefully soon be in a position to formally release
full details on the project."

A New version of one of Scotland's finest films, Whisky
Galore, is to be shot in the Western Isles, it has been
confirmed, and the producer will be a Lewis man.
Leading French film company Canal Plus has signed a deal
with the British production team Whisky Galore Film Ltd,
which was set up last year by Iain Maclean and Ed Crozier
for the purpose of remaking the movie.
Lewis man Mr Maclean, from Leurbost in Lochs, said yesterday:
"We have every intention of shooting the new Whisky
Galore in the Western Isles, and everything is going well."
He said that, unlike the original, they did not intend to
shoot the entire film on Barra, but were keen to use various
locations throughout the Western Isles.
"We would film from Barra up to the west coast of Lewis.
This would mean that the whole of the Western Isles would
benefit as it would be a massive boost to the islands in
terms of tourism."
The idea to remake Whisky Galore came from Iain himself
and he approached a friend working in London's west end
Respected UK film producer Stephen Evans became involved.
He has been responsible for 13 films which have received
11 Academy Award nominations, including two Oscars.
His hits include The Madness of King George, Wings of the
Dove and The Luzhin Defence.
Most recently, he was executive producer of Confessions
of a Dangerous Mind, directed by George Clooney.
The original Whisky Galore movie made in 1949, is based
on the true story of the sinking of the SS Politician off
the Outer Hebrides in 1941, while she was destined for the
United States with 50,000 cases of Scotch whisky on board.
Islanders made sure that the cargo did not go to waste -
and there are still bottles of the famous whisky around.
Compton Mackenzie subsequently wrote the novel Whisky Galore,
and eight years later an adaptation of the book was made
into a movie.
The new Whisky Galore will, like the original, be set during
the war years.
But Mr Maclean said: "We intend starting it off in
the present day although mostly it will be set in the same
time period as the original. We hope to start filming within
the next year."

PERTH'S- GREAT FINISH. South Fremantle Beaten. Rallying in great spirit in the closing minutes of a hard, gruelling game played under poor conditions, Perth snatched victory from South Fremantle at the W.A.C.A. ground oh Saturday. It was an excellent game, despite miserable weather, a slushy playing field and a wet,j slippery ball, and Perth achieved a not able success in finishing better than the fast, vigorous Fremantle team. South Fremantle's play in the ruck, in defence and in handling and kicking the wet ball was good but it might have won had it been more accurate in front of goal. Perth was steadier under pressure than it had been in recent games. The teams were: PERTH.-Backs: Fitzgerald. Robertson, Love. Half-backs: Hilsz, Bailey, RundeL Centres: L Ransom. Puddey. Lewis. Half forwards: Hatton. Henfry. McKenzie. For wards: Grigg, Gook. Hetherington. Ruck: Williams, Oliphant. Keightley (rover). Nine teenth man: McCarthy (did not play). SOUTH FREMANTLE--Back: Renfrey. Higham, J. Mills. Hall-backs: Dodd, D. Dolg. HaskelL Centres: C. Lewington, Jenkins, N. Lewington. Half-forwards: Mathews, R. Toll, Burkett. Forwards: Gorn. Chandler, Hart. Ruck: A. Richardson, Relly, Truscott (foyer). Nineteenth man: Poole (replaced Richardson. ill, in third quarter). UMPIRE: G. Owens. Chandler won the toss and chose to kick with the wind, but Perth forced the pace and registered the first score. South Fremantle was careless in forcing the ball on to the "awkward" wing. Perth, with ilssz and Ransom prominent, was the better team but it faltered badly near the goal where its leading was ineffective. Truscott "soccered" a goal for South Fremantle but for about ten minutes the players struggled ineffectively on the rain-sodden ground. The cricket pitches and the western goal base were muddy puddles. Working slowly but surely along the right wing, Perth kept in attack Grigg goaled for Perth. South Premantle had been well held during the quarter and was only six points ahead at the close of the quarter with 1.7 to 1.1. Robertson went to goalsneak and Gook to half-forward at the start of the second quarter. In the first minute of play Hetherington goaled and Robertson scored another a minute later. Then Perth's play fell away; it, too, seemed incapable of getting the ball on to the 'scoring wing. Robertson moved to centre half forward and Gook returned to goalsneak. The South Fremantle backs, notably Ren frey did great work and the ruck was sound but Ransom's dashing play on the wing held Perth tbgether until Gook (once with a magnificent kick) goaled twice to give the team a lead of 20 points at half-time when the scores were:-Perth, 6.4; South Fremantle, 2.8. South Fremantle hit the post twice in the first two minutes of the third quar ter. Perth's kicking became wi.d; the South Fremantle ruck gained command (despite Oliphant's sound play) and
within a few minutes Perth led by only five points. South Fremantle worked and handled the greasy ball well. But for inaccurate kicking-it had kicked 14 behinds in 18 shots--it might have been well in front. Perth players were penal ised for deliberate kicking out of bounds. It was easily South Fremantle's quarter and it regained the lead in the closing minutes. Three-quarter time scores were:-South Fremantle, 6.15; Perth, 6.6. South Fremantle's ruck made a bril liant effort at the start of the last quar ter which resulted in an invaluable goal. Reilly had swung the game in favour of the Fremantle team. But Perth fought back, with Oliphant, Hetherington and Grigg striving hard to win back ruck supremacy. Goals by Williams and Oli phant left South Fremantle only a point in front. Then McKenzie, with a pro digious punt, goaled to put Perth ahead with 11 minutes to play. Jenkins went on to the ball. It was a hard, fierce fight with Perth working the ball to the goal with rugged, heart-breaking thrusts. It led by five points six minutes from time: then hammered back two attacks. A point put it six points ahead three min utes from time. 0ook kicked another point and the game was safefor Perth. Final scores were: PERTH .... .. .. .. 9.11 (65 pts). SOUTH FREMANTLE .. 7.15 (57 pts). Scorers.-Perth: ,Gook, 22; Williams, 2.0; McKenzie, 1.2; Hetherington, 1.1;! Oliphant, 1.1; Grigg, 1.0; Robertson, 1.0; Henfrey, 0.2; Keightley, 0.1; Ransom, 0.1. One behind forced. South Fre mantle: Truscott, 3.0; Gorn, 2.3: Reilly, 1.0; Chandler, 1.4; Toll, 0.3; Burkett;. 0.1; Mills, 0.1. Three behinds forced. With effective dashing play on a wing Ransom shared with the rover Grigg the honour of being Perth's best player. Grigg's tireless roving irks a vital factor in forcing the play when South Fre mantle faltered. Oliphant did fine work on the ball in every quarter and particu larly in the last, winning rally. -lsz, Bailey and Fitzgerald played splendidly in defence, with Robertson sound and sure in goal. Puddey, Gook, Love and Hatton were prominent and McKenzie and Hetherington were valuable members of the team. At half-back and in ruck Haskell was South Fremantle's best'player. He played strongly throughout and was fast, sure and effective. In a back pocket Renfrey played flawlessly. Reilly was outstanding in the ruck and Truscott roved cleverly. Jenkins was frequently prominent at centre and D. Doig was a sound half back. Chandler and A. Richardson (until he retired from the match) were under notice at times.

|Tympanometric changes following nasal antigen challenge in children with allergic rhinitis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 6542329 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Intranasal antigen provocation was used to study the relationship between allergic rhinitis and changes in middle ear pressure. Middle ear pressure was measured by tympanometry and nasal airway resistance by anterior rhinomanometry. Middle ear pressure became significantly more negative following antigen challenge as compared with control challenge. A subgroup of patients showed middle ear pressure changes of more than minus 50 mm water. This pressure change was rapid and was associated with increased nasal symptoms. These results indicate a role for allergy in the development of negative middle ear pressure, a key finding in otitis media with effusion.

Pastor Hoyt Brown delivers a blessing to Bassett Hound, Sophie, of Fairport, during the 21st annual 'Blessing of the Animals' at Faith United Methodist Church in Henrietta on Sunday morning.
- Filed Under
Leaning over the panting basset hound, Pastor Hoyt Brown crossed himself as he stroked the slobbering pup's ears.
"I bless you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit," he said, as the dog's owner, Kathleen Wax, looked on. "Thank you for the companionship that you provide to your family."
Wax isn't a member of the Faith United Methodist Church. But every spring for the past eight years, she and her dog Sophie have come out to Henrietta for one specific sermon: the annual "Blessing of the Animals," a ritual that the church has held for more than two decades. ...
