Discovering the magic of Valais with Dr. José Vouillamoz
I met Dr. José Vouillamoz at lunch...in the Republic of Georgia. An international gathering of wine professionals sat in the autumn sunshine eating roasted meats and drinking Rkatsiteli fermented in qvevri. When I turned to make conversation with my table mate, he modestly revealed he was working on a book with the tremendous ambition of cataloguing the world's grapes under production. "Wow!" was all I could muster.
José, ampelographer (an expert in the study and classification of cultivated grapes) and vine geneticist, hosted a Swiss wine tasting at the conference with collaborator Jancis Robinson. I tasted many Swiss wines for the first time, including Chasselas, also called Fendant and Gutedel, the country's best known variety. When sourced from over-productive vineyards, it's a rather watery-tasting white, but today there are many well made Chasselas. Jose described them as "like Muscadet on the nose and honey on the mid-palate."
Tasting with José at the conference was educational, but only when our press trip took to the countryside did we see, smell, and taste the wonder of the Valais. This is Switzerland's largest wine region where wine grapes are harvested more than 1000 meters high. We spent three days steeped in this alpine wine culture and tasted rare wine varities including Arvine, Amigne, Cornalin, Rèze, and more.
We zig-zagged down a rocky slope that had vineyards cutting across its face. We concentrated on our balance as we snapped photos of magnificent vistas and repeatedly stopped in awe. This vineyard was as incredible for its remote location and height as its beauty. At a slight flattening in the ground, lunch and a tasting had been prepared. Pumpkin soup from a brass cauldron, and a world of savory Swiss cheeses and dried meats awaited us. We were spoiled with a fine selection of white wine, including sweet and dry Amigne and Arvine, and red wine including Humagne Rouge and a range of savory, bold Syrahs. The wines were from the recently restored vineyards of Jean-René Germanier, whose wines have been recognized as among the best in Switzerland. He and enologist and co-owner Gilles Bess have devoted efforts to native varieties and working with the unique terroir of the Valais.
Provins Arvine 1971 – This wine also had strong apricot flavor as well as orange marmalade and blood orange. It had great balance and huge length. José's comment on this: "It has become a meditation wine."

My dinner with Oscar
I met Oscar Quevedo Jr. in 2009 at the European Wine Bloggers Conference in Lisbon, and he still writes his family's winery blog. He is a prime example of how wineries can benefit from a likable brand ambassador who is adept at social media - and an all-around nice guy. Along with his winemaker sister, Claudia, Oscar is one of the more youthful members of a family that has made wine in the Douro Valley for generations. Quevedo's extensive line up of Ports includes lovely ruby, tawny, white, rose, and vintage ports.
Yesterday Oscar was at Columbia Wine Company - which boasts quality wine from around the globe - located way uptown at 170th and Broadway in Washington Heights. The store was hosting a tasting with over a dozen bottles from Portugal, South Africa, and more. Those who know me well know I adore Port, and I did buy both Quevedo tawny and rose Ports straight off the tasting table. However, I'm often more excited about the Douro's dry wines, because most people are unaware of them. So I was eager to present these wines, made from blends of native Portuguese grapes, at last evening's intimate dinner party.
Oscar white was from 2012, and it was a medium bodied white wine with a nose of green apple. It had refreshing acidity and crisp, bright fruit flavors. It was a perfect pairing with crab cakes served on arugula with hazelnut oil and a roasted red pepper coulis.

School Times - Poem by Tiku akp
I have long left the classroom
Upon the cold floor of which
I have rubbed my buttocks;
It was my turn to clean.
I had been horrified as
The bleary- eyed teacher pulled
My hair to make me recognize
The faces crawling on the flat darkness
Of the board swinging on the wall;
I wished it should rain;
The dilapidated roof should leak;
And the pot bellied peon should
Bang the polished face of the bell
And I should run to my grandpa
And sit on his lap to watch him rub
Tobacco on his palm
With stone hard forefinger;
And of course to my beautiful mother
Flitting from room to room
Hidden under the printed plaits
Of her hand-woven saree;
A thought troubling her unripe brain;
What her son would be doing
In school in the treacherous rain.

B.S. Geology University of Wisconsin-Madison (1979); M.S. Geology University of Wisconsin-Madison (1984); Ph.D. Geology University of Michigan (1988)
My research and that of my students (see their research summaries below) in petrotectonics spans the range of phenomena that operate at the grain to terrane scale. We apply petrology (igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary), geochemistry (petrologic thermodynamics and phase equilibria; stable and radiogenic isotopes;microbeam analysis), bedrock mapping and structural geology in field-based research projects that attempt to decipher the tectonic history of the Appalachian-Caledonian and Grenville orogens. My primary research tool is the electron probe microanalyzer. At UK we have a recently upgraded CAMECA SX50 electron probe microanalyzer with CL detector for imaging zircon growth zoning histories. I teach igneous and metamorphic petrology and run regional field trips to New England, Canada, and the Blue Ridge. Besides research and teaching, I have a keen interest in undergraduate education and alumni relations. I am now Chair of the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences.
Current Graduate Students (all M.S. candidates)
Lucas Rohrer is from Princeton, Kentucky and earned a B.A. in Chemistry from Asbury University. Lucas is working on the tectonic history of a zone of dextral transpression in central Conn., Mass., and N.H. This research involved detailed bedrock mapping and structural analysis at a range of scales to test the extent of transpressional deformation in central New England. Lucas completed an entire summer of independent field mapping in central Massachusetts. Highlights of that work included dealing with a bull moose whose territory overlaps with Lucas's field mapping area. Lucas has accepted a position in secondary science education in his hometown of Princeton, KY.
Emma Larkin is from Salem, Massachusetts. She received her B.S. in Geology from Salem State University, Massachusetts. Emma's thesis research will delineate the extent of Grenville basement rocks in the eastern Great Smoky Mountains of western North Carolina, and will involve bedrock mapping, structural analysis, petrology, and geochronology. Emma is "in residence" near Waynesville, NC, and is currently carrying out her mapping program funded by the EDMAP program of the U.S. Geological Survey.
James McCulla is from Virginia (College of William and Mary) is a second semester graduate student in the M.S. program at UK. He is working on dating the timing of transpression in central New England using monazite and zircon U-Pb geochronology.
Carlene Gilewski is a new graduate student who completed her B.S. in Geology at Grand Valley State University, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Carlene has expertise in chemical petrology and thermodynamics. Her thesis research will focus on defining the P-T evolution of the rocks in the Palmer Zone of Transpression in central Massachusetts.
Recent Graduate Students
Daniel Spaulding recently completed his M.S. degree, and is from Hazard, Kentucky. He received his B.A. in Geology from UK. Dan mapped part of a quadrangle in the rugged and remote eastern Great Smoky Mountains, including part of Great Smoky Mountain National Park, which served as the basis for research focused on deteremining if Taconian metamorphic isograds were telescoped during late Paleozoic ductile shearing and folding. Daniel completed his mapping during the Spring 2013 term, and then did a summer internship with Pioneer Natural Resources in Summer 2014. He did so well in his internship that Pioneer offered him a job and he joined the many other UK alumni working at Pioneer in Dallas.
Evan Kelly (M.S. 2014) is from Wisconsin and earned dual degrees in Geology and Economics from Vanderbilt University. Evan is worked on the provenance of uppermost Ocoee (Walden Creek Gp.) clastic sediments in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mtns. area. He used a variety of provenance tools, such as sandstone petrography, microprobe analysis of detrital feldspar, and detrital zircon U-Pb and monazite Th-Pb geochronology. Evan just started a career as an exploration geologist with Pioneer Natural Resources in Dallas.
Susan Leib (M.S. 2013) is from the "Quad Cities", and earned her Bachelor's degree from Olivet-Nazarene University. Susan worked on the P-T history of metamorphosed pseudotachylytes from a ductile normal detachment fault in the Caledonides of northern Norway. Susan's research employed petrology, microprobe analysis, and thermobarometric calculations. Susan is now enrolled in the Museum Studies program at University of Western Illinois.
Gabriel RiCharde (M.S. 2013) is from Boston and earned his Bachelor's degree from Wheaton College. Gabe worked on the P-T history of eclogites from Liverpool Land, East Greenland. Gabe now works as a geologist for Schlumberger in Madrid, Spain.

Desperate Housewives alum talks about his struggles with alcohol and drugs.
CAPOTE star Philip Seymour Hoffman's tragic death on Feb 2 of an apparent drug overdose has inspired former Desperate Housewives actor Shawn Pyfrom to open up about his own struggles with addiction.
Pyfrom, who played Bree Van de Kamp's son Andrew on the drama, admits that he's an alcoholic and drug addict in a post on his Tumblr account, saying that he's admitting his addictions "against the advice of others".
The actor, who said that he's now five months sober and "relatively new" to sobriety, writes in the post that he made his admission to encourage others to conquer their addictions.
"I even question whether or not I should publish this, as I type out these words. But if these words can encourage someone to hold on to their life, to keep from ever using, or to find the strength to stop, then it's more important that these words are shared," Pyfrom wrote. "I've considered what's at stake for myself by sharing this – but I find myself without regard for that. I won't allow my selfish needs to get in the way of potentially reaching another human being's life."
The actor, 26, said that he "lived for drugs" for several years.
"I thought more about using, than I thought about any other 'pleasures'," the actor wrote. "I put myself in places I never would have ended up otherwise for the sake of getting high.
"There are countless nights of blacking out, and making poor decisions as a result of my overusing. I wasted the time of valuable people, who worked so hard to pull my career to a higher place, by allowing my addictions to tug me out of their grip. I worried the people that care about me. My friends. My parents. My siblings. All for the sake of something that I believed I had control over. I didn't even realise how low drugs and alcohol had pulled me."
Pyfrom concluded his message by writing that he hopes it gives the reader strength to avoid addiction.
"I hope you can save your life," Pyfrom wrote.
Hoffman, 46, was found dead in his New York City apartment. The actor, who had a history of addiction, entered a detox programme after suffering a relapse last year. – Reuters

Neal, the most recent posting in my personal gallery, "Frosty Morning Calm", is from Pro 100. It's a completely unique film, custom coated for J&C on very old equipment in China (the Classic 200 and Classic 400 are rebranded Forte). I like it a lot, but it's a soft emulsion, and benefits by avoiding temperatures above 68 F and sudden shocks from alkaline to acidic (so no acid stop bath); it also scratches very easily.
That said, it's the only ISO 100 film I have around; at the price, I'm willing to put up with the black backing and framing numbers printed in (sometimes rather thin) white ink, the very soft paper of the backing, and the lack of a useful end tape (I either use the masking tape that secures the new roll, or if it has too much black paper stuck to it, a fresh piece of masking tape; either way, I stick it inside the door of the camera so I'm sure to have it handy when I unload). Grain is fine, even, and crisp, tonality is excellent, sharpness and resolution quite good, and at least in my process, speed is exactly as rated. It's even got good latitude; hard to argue with those qualities in a film that's $1.39 a roll including a black film can.

Arizona Wildcats
Wildcats QB Matt Scott invited to NFL Combine
Last April quarterback Nick Foles became the first Arizona Wildcats passer to be drafted since 1961.
A third-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles, Arizona's career leader in virtually every significant passing category made his debut in November, ending another long (and somewhat embarrassing) drought for the school.
Well, the gap between Foles and the next UA QB to be drafted likely won't be nearly as long as the one between Foles and Eddie Wilson.
Matt Scott, who threw for 3,620 yards and 27 touchdowns as a senior, has been invited to the NFL's Scouting Combine.
Scott enters the 2013 draft season as an interesting prospect. He started just one full season at the collegiate level, and flashed solid arm strength to go along with mobility that many NFL teams seem to be looking for.
And while he may not be one of the top prospects at this moment, the fact that he's been invited to showcase his ability for scouts proves there's a decent amount of interest in his skills.

United States: Ban Landmines, Don't Just Clear Them
Conclude Years-Long Review and Join Mine Ban Treaty

It is nonsensical that the US has spent billions of dollars to clean up the mess caused by landmines, but insists on the right to use them again in the future. Throwing money at the problem is not enough. A permanent solution is needed and the Mine Ban Treaty provides it.
Steve Goose, arms director at Human Rights Watch
(Washington, DC) – The Obama administration should conclude its years-long review of US policy on antipersonnel landmines with a decision to ban the weapon and join the international ban treaty, Human Rights Watch said today, on the eve of the International Day for Mine Action.
"It is nonsensical that the US has spent billions of dollars to clean up the mess caused by landmines, but insists on the right to use them again in the future," said Steve Goose, arms director at Human Rights Watch. "Throwing money at the problem is not enough. A permanent solution is needed and the Mine Ban Treaty provides it."
The United States is not among the 161 nations that have signed the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty, which comprehensively bans antipersonnel landmines and requires their clearance and assistance to victims. The Clinton administration in 1997 set the objective of joining the treaty in 2006, but the Bush administration reversed course in 2004.
At a Mine Ban Treaty meeting in Geneva in December 2013, the US announced that the policy review initiated in 2009 is "pressing forward to a conclusion" but gave no indication of when it would announce its decision.
In a March 28, 2014 letter, Human Rights Watch urged US President Barack Obama to announce the results of the US landmine policy review by the time of the Mine Ban Treaty's Third Review Conference, which opens in Maputo, Mozambique on June 23.
Since the Mine Ban Treaty came into force on March 1, 1999, more than 47 million stockpiled antipersonnel mines have been destroyed, 27 countries have completed mine clearance to become mine-free, and the annual number of casualties from landmines and explosive remnants of war has decreased dramatically.
Nearly all of the 35 countries that have not signed the treaty follow its key provisions. The last recorded US use of antipersonnel landmines was more than 20 years ago, during the 1991 Gulf War. The US has had an export ban on antipersonnel mines since 1992. There has been no known US production of antipersonnel mines since 1997.
Globally, use of antipersonnel mines is now rare. In recent years, the only government forces laying new mines have been Syria, Burma, and Libya under Muammar Qaddafi. None of these countries have joined the treaty.
The US is the world's largest contributor to global mine clearance and victim assistance programs. According to the Landmine Monitor initiative by the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), the US provided more than US$2 billion to these programs from 1993 to 2013. In 2012, the US contributed US$134.4 million for 30 countries and three territories through more than 40 organizations. Afghanistan and Iraq received the largest contributions, accounting for 48 percent of US mine action funding in 2012.
Human Rights Watch is a founding member of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, which received the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, together with its coordinator, Jody Williams, for its efforts to bring about the Mine Ban Treaty and for its contributions to a new international diplomacy based on humanitarian imperatives.
In 2005, the United Nations General Assembly declared that April 4 of each year would be observed as the International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action. To mark 2014 Mine Action Day, events are planned at the United Nations in New York, at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, and in nations around the world.

That is an utterly absurd statement, but if you want to think of the UFP as an enemy force to the Bajorans, go right ahead... I shan't stop you.
I actually question it in the opposite direction. It's natural the Bajorans would join Starfleet who helped them get back on their feet after what the Cardassians did to them.
The Dominion were responsible for what happened to Cardassia and were the occupying force, the Federation helped them to get back on their feet, and were the enemy of the occupying force. Now maybe the Romulan and Klingon prescence and aid could be akin to an Occupation, but, I certainly wouldn't expect the Federation Prescence to be seen in that light.
I think remnants of the now defunct military dictatorship that ran Cardassia for centuries would be resentful of the Federation's presence on Cardassia. It would be naive to assume that people like Gul Madred would do a 180 and would now support the Federation after the war. I could imagine a new version "The True Way" terrorist group, rising up to oppose the Federation's presence on Cardassia.
Look at it this way, most modern day Germans hate the Nazis, but still a small minority in Germany who support Nazi ideals. There will always people who embrace destructive ideologies.

The methane gas is coming from both landfills and through controlled digestion of waste food products. T

India denies Karmapa visit to USDenied permission to travel to Europe earlier this year, Ogyen Trinley Dorje, the 17th Karmapa and most prominent member of the Kagyu lineage, has again faced travel restrictions. If all had gone well, he'd have arrived in New York this week but was denied an exit visa in what appears to be a concession to Chinese interests. The India Times reports: "The Karmapa was scheduled to attend prayer sessions being organized by Karma Triyana Dharamchakra center in Woodstock in New York that began yesterday (Wednesday), but Indian authorities refused to grant him permission to visit there," Gompa Tsering, Karmapa's secretary, said.

Stumbling into the Buddha in BrooklynI have always found it interesting when books seem to randomly, perhaps auspiciously, find their way into my life. I find it particularly interesting when these books are dharma books.

Is it ok to say "the West"?Editor-at-Large Andrew Cooper stopped by for a visit yesterday—quite a change from the Pacific Northwest, where he lives. The heat and rain are very familiar to him, though. He hails from the New York metro area. Still, he may miss the cool breezes off Puget Sound. Andy, web editor Phil Ryan and I got to talking (Phil was not distracted by the Shady Buddha during this meeting), and Phil noted that every time we use the term "Western Buddhism"—or even just "the West"—some people object. These comments have been helpful, forcing us to examine our use of the term. More »

In Sharkey's piece, "The Heartful Dodger," Vinny talks about leading MBA's Challenge Day—a mindfulness-based program that introduces kids to mindfulness exercises in order to open them up to their own "thoughts, fears, prejudices, and vulnerabilities"—and how he works with kids to help them find freedom beyond conditions: More »

Notes from Organised Tastings
1995 White Burgundy
by Tom Cannavan, 1996
This was a blind tasting. Overall these wines lived up to their reputations, ranging in style from austere and tight to quite fat and generous. The wines of Niellon were particularly impressive.
Pascal, Puligny-Montrachet - £16.99
Bright, pale straw colour. Reticent nose, a hint of apple, very little else. Crisp and bone dry, some spicy flavours, but rather tartly acidic and short on the finish. Not enough fruit.
Niellon, Chassagne-Montrachet - £17.99
Deeper gold tinge to the still pale colour. Very intense nose of cinnamon spice and warm, toasted oak. Much fatter wine on the palate with full body and more intense, figgy fruit and a nice measure of new oak. Finish stays big and spicy, with a nice acid balance. Quite a robust style of wine, but very good indeed.
Sauzet, Puligny-Montrachet - £22.99
Very pale gold, almost hinting at green. Restrained nose, giving very little -a touch of melony fruit perhaps? Seems a little dilute on the palate. A good acid structure and long finish, so could come together well if fruit comes to the fore. Only quite good on this evidence.
Chateau Puligny-Montrachet, Puligny-Montrachet, 1er Cru "Les Folatières" - £20.99
Pale golden yellow. Very striking, intense nose with loads of oak and a slightly green note. On the palate a very big wine with rich fruit and prominent oak, fat and quite alcoholic. A bit of a blockbuster which would become tiring to drink I think. Needs food.
Pascal, Puligny-Montrachet, 1er Cru "Hameau de Blagny" - £21.99
Darker gold/yellow colour. Sweet, syrupy element to the nose with a little bit of acetone. First impression on the palate is of very oily texture with a hint of botrytis? A herbaceous edge to the acidity which is quite confusing. Good lemony fruit too and nice acidity in the finish.
Niellon, Chassagne-Montrachet, 1er Cru "Champgains" - £22.99
Straw colour, perhaps edging towards gold. Huge concentration of leesy aromas. Really powerful on the nose. Excellent integration of fresh oak, buttery fruit and a very clean, mineral edge to the acidity. Full bodied but not flabby. Classy finish. Very good indeed.
Carillon, Puligny-Montrachet, 1er Cru "Les Champs Canet" - £23.99
Pale straw colour. Striking, heady aromas of tropical fruits. Gorgeous, opulent mouthfeel - richly textured with a sweet element (botrytis again?) Pure stripe of white acidity to balance and leave a rounded impression in the finish. Very good.
Pillot, Chassagne-Montrachet, 1er Cru "Morgeot" £21.99
Pale straw colour. Very toasty on the nose, nice oak. Slightly rubbery edge to the taste, but good melony fruit comes through. Dies a little - something missing? Acid re-states itself in the finish which is actually very fine. This may just be a bit untogether at this stage. Good in a few years time?
Hamilton Russell Vineyards (South Africa), Walker Bay Chardonnay 1996 - £10.99
Golden yellow colour. Delicious nose of sweet fruit, minerals and new oak. On the palate showing very pure citrus fruit flavours, but restrained too. This is classy new world stuff - cool climate though? A very delicate wine, finely balanced and with complex layers of taste. Very good indeed and very immediate.
Niellon, Chevalier-Montrachet Grand Cru - £67.99
Very pale straw yellow. Yeasty nose, very soft. Subdued on the palate too, quite a lot of spicy, buttery flavours buried in there. Improving. Needs a lot of concentration to taste the subtleties of this, but it has a lot of complexity. Needs time? Very good indeed.

December 2, 2015
Stanley Robertson has been sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole for the August 2010 murder of Annie Toliver in College Station.
At least ten of the 12 jurors decided there were mitigating circumstances in the defendant's life that warranted the life sentence over death.
Tuesday afternoon, the jury announced it had "deadlocked" on the second question of their charge: whether Robertson was mentally retarded.
To get to the second question, jurors would have had to unanimously decide Robertson was a future danger.
Obviously, they eventually answered the mental retardation question as a unanimous "no, he is not" in order to move to the third and final question. By virtue of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, the mentally retarded cannot be executed.
In the end, it took 21 hours from start to finish over three days to reach the last conclusion: at least ten jurors thinking something from Robertson's life warranted a life sentence over the death penalty the prosecution sought.
All 12 jurors would have had to have thought there were no mitigating circumstances for death to be imposed.
Wednesday was the seventeenth day of the trial.
Robertson was found guilty on February 7 of the kidnapping and stabbing death of Annie Toliver, his ex-girlfriend's mother, in August 2010. Robertson told that ex and authorities he killed Toliver because the ex wasn't there for him, including after a July 2010 arrest for allegedly putting a knife to the ex's throat in front of her kids and holding her hostage. Toliver's body was dumped in Fort Worth, and Robertson ended up intentionally crashing his SUV into a Fort Worth police officer's car during a chase.

Architect: Sanei Hopkins Architects
Cost: £450
The professional skills of Sanei Hopkins Architects were in evidence during the summer holidays when a Peter Pan House was created in a back garden in Friston, Suffolk.
The structure, for Amir Sanei and Abigail Hopkins' two sons, was built using materials left over from the Wendy House recently made for their two daughters (AJ Small Projects 2005). Additional material was bought to realise the project, which was based on a 'Suffolk pig arc for flying pigs'. The structure is suspended 2m from the ground between two trees because pigs - apparently - need 'good clearance when coming in to land and can't fly very high'.

Motorola Droid Turbo 2 ( 32GB, Black Soft Grip)
The Verizon-exclusive Droid Turbo 2 delivers on its promise of an uncrackable screen -- and it's a great all-around Android phone, too.
Apple iPhone 6s Plus ( 64GB, space gray)
The iPhone 6S Plus has a few key advantages that give it an edge for serious iPhone users, but its big body still may not fit for a lot of people.
Apple iPhone 6S ( 16GB, space gray)
The newest iPhones are top-to-bottom better phones with lots of enhancements; iPhone 6 owners don't need the upgrade, but everyone else should seriously consider it.
LG Lancet ( blue)
Though the LG Lancet is reliable and inexpensive, the Microsoft Lumia 735 gives you more for your money.
LG G4 ( metallic)
Though it feels too similar to last year's G3, the LG G4 is an excellent big-screen smartphone that will appeal to budding photographers, and has old-school features missing from rival flagships.
Motorola Droid Turbo ( 64GB, black ballistic nylon)
Even with its hefty design, the Motorola Droid Turbo's robust battery, powerful processor and vivid display put it on the short list for Verizon customers.
Samsung Galaxy Note Edge ( charcoal black)
Samsung's swooshing Galaxy Note Edge is a triumph of novel design, but its high price tag and minimal extra usability make for a niche appeal.
Sony Xperia Z3v ( black)
Sony's variant on the Xperia Z3 is nearly the same excellent overall phone on Verizon, albeit with a slightly dated external design.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 ( charcoal black)
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will thrill anyone who loves a fast phone with a large screen, but it's best for compulsive scribblers willing to pay a lot for its winning stylus.
LG G Vista
Given its midrange specs, the LG G Vista for AT&T and Verizon is a solid buy if you want a big "phablet" at a low cost.

The Korean peninsula during the Cold War provided a cruel but historically unparalleled real-world "experiment" in the relationship between polity and material advance: an ethnically and culturally homogenous nation was, in 1945, suddenly divided by an arbitrary boundary line and then subjected to two radically different and adversarial political economies for successive decades on end. Assessing the competition between the North and South Korean economies from partition to the end of the Soviet era, Nicholas Eberstadt argues that the storyline is not quite as simple as the now-prevailing narrative suggests (that centrally-planned economies are doomed to fail against market-oriented alternatives). Rather, he suggests, the race for material progress was just that: a race, the results of which were far from preordained at the outset.
In Policy and Economic Performance in Divided Korea during the Cold War Era: 1945–91, Eberstadt presents an impressive compilation of hard-to-find comparative data on economic performance for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK, or North Korea) and the Republic of Korea (ROK, or South Korea) over two critical generations. By a number of indicators, Eberstadt argues, Kim Il Sung's North Korea actually outperformed South Korea for much of this period–not only in the years immediately following partition, but perhaps also into the 1970s.
To explain these surprising results, Eberstadt details the impact of government policies on the course of growth of both economies and offers some unorthodox observations about material performance under these two contending polities. He finds that prevailing economic development theory on such issues as planned-versus- market economies, military burden, and the relationship between material advance and poverty, may require reexamination in light of the experience of the two Koreas between partition and the end of the Cold War.
Nicholas Eberstadt is the Henry Wendt Scholar in Political Economy at the American Enterprise Institute.

Terrie Robinson Charged With Killing 3-Year-Old Son, Cooking Him in Oven
Monday, March 7, 2011 at 9:10 am
|Though he also had signs of head trauma, Tristan Robinson died from being cooked
Detectives have released almost no details on the case. They'll only say that the boy exhibited signs if head trauma, but they won't know if that came before he was cooked until after an autopsy. The child's body was still warm when police arrived. It's still unclear if the child was killed before he was burned.
His mother, 24-year-old Terrie A. Robinson, has been taken into custody. She's sitting in the Washington County Jail on $5 million bail.
Another girl found in the home was taken into the custody of the Mississippi Department of Human Services. (Special thanks to reader Captain America for the tip.)

Or is there anything worth while doing breaking into these service menus? Like better picture adjustment possibly?
Which leads me to...I know the factory picture settings are way out there, so are there any published guidelines for this particular set giving optimum picture settings? Preferably from a professional
Just fired mine up and was a little pized. 3 pixels out close together. 123buydirect.com was where she came from.
That reminds me, it came with a free 5 year extended warranty. Anything I can do to this thing that'd cause the need for a replacement, say about year 4?

iPad Screen Orientation switches to portrait on launch. SDK 1.7.2
Hello everyone. I'm about ready to publish a new version of our app to the iTunes market and there is one bug I'm trying to resolve. On SDK version 1.7.2, the app forces a switch to portrait mode if the device is already in landscape mode. It does not do this in version 1.7.1, but there are other issues caused by version 1.7.1. Is there a way I can fix this issue by specifying orientation in code?
3 Answers
Are you trying to force orientation to Portrait, or just wanting orientation to match the device's orientation?
I saw the below post recently where someone was having problems forcing orientation on 1.7.2…
Also, does your Tiapp.xml still retain all 4 orientation entries for iPad?
You can force the orientation of your app with:
Ti.UI.orientation = TI.UI.LANDSCAPE_LEFT;
or whichever orientation you prefer.
As Anthony mentioned you have to mention that specifically on the first Window like this
win.orientationModes = [Titanium.UI.PORTRAIT, Titanium.UI.UPSIDE_PORTRAIT, Titanium.UI.LANDSCAPE_LEFT, Titanium.UI.LANDSCAPE_RIGHT, Titanium.UI.FACE_UP, Titanium.UI.FACE_DOWN]
as a result of which it will support all orientation modes(guess that was what you were expecting to perform).

One Halloween party scheduled for this Saturday, Nov. 2, caught our eye immediately -- the Wiccans of Alaska are throwing their first-ever "Witches' Ball."
Real witches, throwing a Witches' Ball. At the American Legion Hall. We had to know more.
I called Amberle Wright, High Priestess of the Light and Shadows coven in Anchorage. This is the first time the Wiccan community of Anchorage has thrown a public party that she knows of. She said that the goal is to show that "we're just normal, fun-loving happy people."
"We're really not like what you see on TV."
Wiccans don't practice things like curses or animal sacrifice, she said. They don't worship (or even believe in) Satan. Wiccans have a code of ethics that includes doing no harm and revering the Earth. Their worship centers on polarity and views the Goddess and God as equal entities.
October 31 is, in fact, a big deal for the Wiccan religion. It's when they celebrate "Samhain," which marks the end of the growing season and the beginning of winter.
But, Wright said, there won't be anything religious about the Witches' Ball but a small "ancestor's table" set up in the hall and some art that's been donated by paganists for auction.
Instead, the program pokes fun at mainstream stereotypes about witches -- there will be a life-size witches' cauldron, a cackling contest, and a vampire kissing booth. In stunning tongue-in-cheek, there's even a "New England Colonial light dinner."
There will also be the usual: costume contests, dancing and a DJ.
Out of the (broom) closet
Wright said it's hard to know how many Wiccans or witches are in Anchorage, because they tend to keep their practice and beliefs to themselves.
"A lot of them don't come out and there's a bit of fear, they don't want their bosses or managers to know," Wright said. "You've probably met some, you just don't know it."
Wright's been a practicing witch in Anchorage since she moved here in 1997. About a year ago she decided to try finding other Wiccans outside her coven who were also living in Anchorage.
(Point of clarification: there's a difference between Wicca and witchcraft. Witchcraft is a practice, and Wicca is the religion associated with it. "All Wiccans are witches but not all witches are Wiccans," Wright said.)
Wright set up a group on meetup.com where Wiccans could message each other and coordinate events. The group has about 120 members so far (about 50 of them are active).
In additional to ceremonies and religious celebrations, the Wiccans of Alaska have done some civic work, volunteering with the Parks and Recreation Department and adopting trails and bus stops. They've also collected food for the food bank. If they make any money on the Witches' Ball, it will go to throwing another party around Halloween next year.
Wright said the goal of the Nov. 2 party is to let people in the community know witches and Wiccans are around –- and they're nothing to be afraid of. She emphasized that Wiccans aren't out to convert anyone, or even talk about their beliefs.
"We do not recruit people. We don't ever ask anyone if they want to learn more," Wright said. "It's our religion. We know you have your own spirituality you follow. You probably won't even hear it mentioned at all."
The party, after all, is about classic Halloween fun. There will be pointy witch hats, she said -- those are traditional, after all.
"Yeah, we're Wiccans and witches but we're just normal people like you, so come out and have a good time."

text: ARS: Yet after calling the game out for its missteps, I still walk away from it pretty delighted by the entire ride. I loved the wild beast battles and the game's constant visual trickery. I endured the slow first third and a few ho-hum plot clichés to get to some serious plot-and-action meat, particularly in a few sequences that borrow both shamelessly and tastefully from Half-Life (you'll see). I rarely threw my keyboard and mouse at anything in frustration, but then I didn't pony up $5 to unlock the game's hardest difficulty as DLC (gross). -

Earnings wrap: Healthways, Tractor Supply
Healthways reported a second-quarter net loss of $0.5 million, or 1 cent per share, compared with a loss of $1.1 million from the same period of the year prior. The population health management company posted a revenue of $180 million, an 11 percent increase from Q2 2013.
The company signed 19 contracts in the quarter, including a 10-year renewal of its Silver Sneakers Fitness program with Highmark. President and CEO Ben Leedle said in a release that the company also had a "substantial and active pipeline" of potential contracts in domestic and international markets.
"Our financial results for the second quarter were consistent with our expectations," Leedle said. "We have now generated four consecutive quarters of sequential-quarter revenue growth."
Looking ahead to the second half of the year, Leedle said his team expects margins to rise thanks in part to performance-based fees. Shares of the company (Ticker: HWAY) fell about 1 percent Wednesday to $15.82. So far this year, they're up about 3 percent.
Farm and ranch products retailer Tractor Supply said it earned $133 million in the second quarter, an increase of 8 percent from a year ago. Per diluted share, profits came in at 95 cents, in line with the lowered guidance the company gave earlier this month.
Revenues at Brentwood-based Tractor Supply climbed to $1.58 billion from $1.46 billion in the second quarter of 2013. Same-store sales rose 1.9 percent.
"Despite some of the early headwinds, we successfully delivered positive comparable store sales in each month of the quarter while minimizing the impact to merchandise margins," said President and CEO Greg Sandfort. "We ended the quarter in great shape from an inventory position and a go-forward merchandise perspective, and feel good about our ability to continue driving sales and earnings growth in the back half of the year."
Shares of Tractor Supply (Ticker: TSCO) fell slightly after hours Wednesday to $60.88. Year to date, they're down about 20 percent.

Well, I bought my Jtag pre-modded well over a year ago and basically stopped using it a while back due to a lack of time.
It's on (I believe) XBR or Xell? I can't remember exact terminology, but it was jtagged in late 2009/early 2010 and NEVER updated. So that should give you a better idea of how behind I am.
Anyway, the problem is that I don't have a copy of the nand, nor do I even remember who I bought the jtag from. And I've yet to find a tutorial where I can update the console without having it.
Is there a way around this? Surely there has to be a program out there... right?

If you dump the NAND image using NAND Flasher 360 or Flash360, you should be able to build a new image using BestPig's Toolbox, Easy Freeboot, etc. You don't need an original, but rather just a working image.

Hyundai Other
The light behind the red/blue Temperature control rotary knob went out on my 2001 Hyundai Sonata. I ordered a new bulb ($7.41!) And easily popped the knob off, only to be completely stymied by what's behind it. There's a clear plastic upside-down-horseshoe looking thing that obviously distributes the light around the red/blue ring, but no way can I remove it to get at the bulb! There's gotta be a way to do it, but I stopped prying with a screwdriver for fear of snapping something. Does the black plastic trim bezel come off, too? Color me stumped, & anxious to get that $7 plus light bulb installed. Many thanks in anticipation of a reply. -Dan
