Excavating the Eternal: An Indigenous Archaeological Tradition in India
Cremo, Michael A., Antiquity
Histories of archaeology by Western scholars routinely say that archaeology began in India with the reports of European travellers of the sixteenth century. Trigger (1989: 181) says, 'Archaeological research in India began in a colonial setting.... European travellers began to note ancient monuments as early as the sixteenth century.' Even Indian scholars have accepted this perception of the history of archaeology in India. About the writings of the early European travellers, Chakrabarti (1988: 1) says, 'Without doubt these records constitute the first group of archaeological writings on India.' But Indian historical texts and oral traditions reveal a parallel indigenous archaeological tradition, involving the excavation of lost sacred images and the recognition of sacred landscape features.
Excavation of sacred images and sites in the Braj Mandal region
The Braj Mandal region of northern India (Figure 1) provides a striking example of indigenous archaeological activity. The Braj Mandal is famous for its associations with the Hindu god Krishna, a form of Vishnu. Followers of Vishnu, called 'Vaishnavas', regard Vishnu or any of his selfsame forms, such as Krishna, as the supreme god. In the term Braj Mandal, braj means a pasturing place for cows, animals dear to Krishna, and mandal means a circular region. The Braj Mandal is about 80km in diameter. Its largest town is Mathura, on the west bank of the Yamuna River between New Delhi and Agra. The Bhagavata Purana identifies Mathura as the place where Krishna appeared in ancient times. At various locales in the Braj Mandal, such as Vrindavan (a name often used to refer to the whole of the Braj Mandal), youthful Krishna engaged in pastimes of divine friendship and love with his cowherd relatives and friends, as depicted in countless works of Hindu art and literature. After Krishna left this world, one of his descendants, Vajranabha, was appointed king of the Braj Mandal. According to the Skanda Purana, the area was overgrown with forest, and the pastime places of Krishna were lost. The sage Shandilya showed Vajranabha the locations of Krishna's pastimes, and to commemorate them Vajranabha established shrines housing images of Krishna. Over the course of time, many of the locales, shrines and images were lost again and later rediscovered.
Whether or not one accepts the account of Vajranabha in the Skanda Purana's Bhagavata-mahatmya section (according to modern scholarly opinion it is a fairly late interpolation), the identification of the Braj Mandal with Vajranabha and Krishna is recorded in other documents. According to Entwistle (1987: 60), the core of the Vajranabha story is found in the Mahabharata, a Sanskrit epic that modern scholars say reached its final form between 500 BC and AD 200. As for Krishna, Megasthenes, a Greek ambassador to the court of the Indian king Chandragupta Maurya in the late fourth century BC, wrote in his Indika: 'Herakles was worshiped by the inhabitants of the plains--especially the Sourasenoi, an Indian tribe possessed of two large cities, Methora and Kleisobara and who had a navigable river, the Jobares, flowing through its territories.' Bryant (2003: xvii-iii) notes, 'There seems little reasonable doubt (and almost all scholars agree) that the Sourasenoi refers to the Surasenas, a branch of the Yadu dynasty to which Krsna belonged; Herakles refers to Krsna, or Hari-Krsna; Methora to Mathura, Krsna's birthplace;... and the Jobares to the Yamuna river, where Krsna sported.'
What form the worship of Krishna (Hari-Krishna, or Heraldes) took is not specified, but there could have been temples housing images of Krishna. Megasthenes tells us in his descriptions of government officers in India that one of their duties was to maintain temples. And Quintus Curtius (Bryant 2003: xviii) says that the front ranks of the Indian army that confronted Alexander the Great's invading forces carried an image of Heraldes (Hari-Krishna). …

When you expect 200W, EasyRail gives you 200W. One Rail, One Setup.

Pros: Quite High 12v amperage (62A)
Cons: Not modular, but i knew that going in.
Other Thoughts: I bought this to power my new gaming system. Worked flawlessly out the box and handled overclocking very well, as in no power spikes etc. Upgraded from a seasonic 550w as i was going to be building an sli system and required higher amps and more wattage to sustain my system seeing as i was performing a major upgrade.

LaRue County Schools are looking for progress in each of the areas tested as the district enters statewide spring testing.
All schools continue to prepare for the reading, math, science and writing assessments in various ways. Summer Garris, senior class adviser and LaRue County High School teacher, said her school is using a spinoff of a television series to go with a "Survivor-Ramp Up" theme that includes an acronym designed to help students ready themselves for the tests.
LaRue County Schools seem better prepared than many other districts to implement the U.S. Department of Agriculture's proposed nutrition changes intended to combat childhood obesity and malnutrition.
The first rewrite of school-meal rules in 15 years, the proposed standards aim to cut sodium, boost the amount and types of fruits and vegetables students are offered, cut saturated fat, increase whole grains, and limit calories.
In Kentucky, veterans, active duty military personnel and their family members may qualify for college financial aid programs.

Get an alert when new Gwyneth Herbert dates are announced
An acclaimed jazz vocalist who has been called 'Britain's answer to Norah Jones' by Jazzwise. Many would argue that she is much more. Her music education included playing in a punk band, studying the French horn and fronting a hip-hop outfit, as well as learning how to truly inhabit jazz songs. Inspired as much by Janis Ian and Joni Mitchell as by Billie Holliday or Nina Simone, she's been writing her own material for years and has recorded a CD of originals and well-chosen covers ('Bittersweet And Blue') with help from musical collaborator and co-writer Will Rutter. This wealth of experience makes Gwyneth Herbert an assured performer who fully deserves the accolades being thrown at her.

Assange protests hit UK consulate in NY
A group of protestors have gathered outside the British consulate in New York, the US, over London's handling of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Assange, who has sheltered inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London for the past eight weeks, is under police siege and the British government has even threatened to violate the diplomatic immunity of the embassy and storm the building, where the Australian is staying, to arrest him. The protesters said they want London to remove the siege and let Assange get out of the embassy building. "We plan on staying until Julian Assange gets out of the embassy," one of the activists named Adam Peck said. The protest in New York comes after a similar group of activists picketed the British consulate in Melbourne, Australia, last week to call for Assange's release. The protestors carried placards that read "hands off WikiLeaks, free Julian Assange" and condemned the British government's threats to raid the Ecuadorian embassy. "UK consulate officials are refusing to speak to us. We want to speak to them about their attacks on Ecuador's sovereignty that have massive implications for other embassies," one of the activists in Melbourne said. AMR/HE

"It's a question of what was energy efficient for the vice president," [San Francisco's own Speaker Nancy] Pelosi said of the decision to keep Gore in Tennessee.
Yeah. Gore's travel schedule, his decision to maintain four homes, etc. typically revolves around the consideration of how to most wisely use energy.

All those £3 Tories and the Telegraph who schemed on a 'wicked' plan to get Corbyn into leadership may regret their folly. Corbyn of course won on the back of a genuine Labour wave to steer back the party to its original mission. Contrary to the warnings of 'New' Labour, Corbyn is likely to confound e pundits and win the next elections.
Although I share many of the same values of those who identify with the leftist movement, I seem to differ in how I believe we can change the world. Disengagement with capitalism allows it to develop in a vacuum, only growing to serve itself, and we all know the destruction it can leave in its path.
As for the EU, there's little else to say. They have gone from promising the earth and the heavens to their citizens, to becoming the executioners of the IMF and their own bankers. Pity they cannot see that by carrying out like this, they are not just destroying Greece but also the very foundations of their precious and profitable political and economic unity. For them, too, the hour of reckoning is nigh.
As we learn more about biological systems and their nature in the context of the Earth as a single system, we begin to understand the natural nanotechnology involved. Just as birds inspired flight so the camouflage of octopi and the colours of butterflies inspire new levels of control over material.
Like lots of people I had a dream to travel the world. Not in bite size two week trips. I wanted to really travel and have the luxury of getting to know a country inside and out, to do yoga in India, stay with tribes in Vietnam and generally be a bit of a hippy with an income that required little work.
As long as the public continues to accept the assurances of the rich that we have to suffer so that they don't have to, the bitterness created will continue to create divisions between ethnic and religious communities that should be working together to destroy zero hour contracts and ensure proper funding for the NHS.
Everyone loves sales. Whether it's the latest Xbox game, kitchen appliance or electronic gadget, people are always looking for bargains, especially during the run up to Christmas. But there's a stark difference between lining up for Boxing Day sales and the animalistic behaviour witnessed last week during the "Black Friday" sales...
If we want to stamp out homelessness, and poverty, and starvation, and all of the other problems we are currently facing, the answer doesn't lie in a donation once a year. If we really want to challenge these social ills, we have to bond together and stand in solidarity with the less fortunate - all year round.

A lawyer who worked for News International told a parliamentary committee on Wednesday that the company had misled Parliament about the extent of its knowledge of the phone hacking scandal.
The lawyer, Julian Pike, is a partner at Farrer & Co, a law firm that also represents Queen Elizabeth.
The Guardian reported that Pike said he saw evidence in 2008 that suggested more News of the World journalists were involved in hacking phones, and told News International executives this news. However, Pike did not speak up when officials from the company continued to mount their "one bad apple offense." In his parliamentary testimony, he cited attorney-client privilege as the reason for his silence.
Pike's testimony contradicts News of the World's long-running claim that former royal reporter Clive Goodman was the only person to hack phones at News of the World. (That claim ended in December 2010.) In July 2009, News Corp executives found themselves in front of Parliament for allegedly paying a substantial amount of money to hide evidence that had surfaced and described the company's pervasive use of phone hacking. News Corp. executives, including News International's executive chairman at the time, Les Hinton, maintained their stance that Clive Goodman was the only reporter to hack phones. James Murdoch, who had run News International before Hinton, has found himself in deep trouble over his claims that he never knew of any wider criminality beyond Goodman.
Pike's testimony also follows News Corp.'s recent decision to replace Pike's firm with new representation. News Corp's new defense firm Olswang will be in place when Les Hinton, the executive chairman of News International during the time Pike was referring to will testify via satellite.
News Corp. currently faces over 60 different claims from individuals who believe their phones were hacked by News Corp owned papers. The lawsuits, which continue to grow, include both public and private figures. Lawyers also investigated whether American courts could file claims against News Corp for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). Among other provisions, this piece of U.S. legislation prohibits U.S. companies from deliberately bribing foreign officials.
Days after the disappearance of 13-year old Milly Dowler, British tabloid News of the World began intercepting Dowler's voicemail messages. The paper deleted old messages to make room for new ones, leading some to speculate that she was alive. The Guardian reports: "The Dowler family then granted an exclusive interview to the News of the World in which they talked about their hope, quite unaware that it had been falsely kindled by the newspaper's own intervention. Sally Dowler told the paper: 'If Milly walked through the door, I don't think we'd be able to speak. We'd just weep tears of joy and give her a great big hug.'"
Police first became aware that the paper was listening to Dowler's messages after it reported that an employment agency had called Dowler about a job vacancy, but didn't take action "partly because their main focus was to find the missing schoolgirl and partly because this was only one example of tabloid misbehaviour," according to the Guardian.
A News of the World item about his knee injury lead Prince William to believe that his aides' voicemail messages were being listened to by a third party. Three royal aides also noticed that new voicemails were showing up as old. Months later, the New York Times reported, News of the World editor Clive Goodman wrote a piece about Prince Harry's visit to a strip club that quoted a voice mail message from his brother William word-for-word.
Goodman (right) and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire (left) received jail time for intercepting hundreds of voicemail messages meant for royal aides. The pair accessed the voice mailboxes of three aides 609 times, according to BBC News. An earlier search of Mulcaire's home turned up "dozens of notebooks and two computers containing 2,978 complete or partial mobile phone numbers and 91 PIN codes; at least three names of other News of the World journalists; and 30 tape recordings made by Mulcaire," reports the Times, but the pair were only charged for hacking the royal aides.
New allegations from the Guardian that NoW paid £1m to suppress evidence of phone hacking prompted Parliament to hold new hearings two years after News International exec Les Hinton (bottom left next to Murdoch) first testified that Goodman was the only person at NoW who knew about the hacking. At the new hearing, Coulson (top left) maintained that he was unaware of phone hacking during his time at NoW.
A New York Times piece alleged that phone hacking was pervasive at NoW and Coulson was aware of conversations about the practice, despite denying any knowledge about it. According to the Times: "'Everyone knew,' one longtime reporter said. 'The office cat knew,'" and reporters "described a frantic, sometimes degrading atmosphere in which some reporters openly pursued hacking or other improper tactics to satisfy demanding editors."
Coulson stepped down as communications chief, blaming media speculation that he knew about phone hacking during his tenure of NoW. News editor Ian Edmondson was fired after allegations of phone hacking, and new information prompted police to re-open the investigation on NoW.
The News of the World admitted its role in phone hacking in a public apology on its website and paper. Former editor Edmondson and reporters James Weatherup and Neville Thurlbeck were arrested on charges of intercepting voicemail messages.
Levi Bellfield was found guilty of murdering Milly Dowler, but a second charge that he had attempted to abduct another schoolgirl was abandoned after tabloid publicity made it impossible for the jury to reach a fair verdict. News of the World paid Sienna Miller £100,000 in damages after publishing 11 articles that used private information from her messages in 2005 and 2006, according to the Guardian.
Police notified Milly Dowler's family that NoW intercepted and deleted the young woman's voice mail messages, destroying possible evidence in the search for her killer. New evidence also shows that NoW targeted families of London's 7/7 bombings.
Andy Coulson, former communications chief to David Cameron and ex-editor of News of the World, was arrested in the investigation on phone hacking at NoW.
The News of the World released its final issue after James Murdoch, head of parent company News Corp's operations in Europe, made the decision to shutter the paper. The move was expected to "take some of the heat off immediate allegations about journalistic behavior and phone hacking."
Multiple news outlets reported that the Sun and the Sunday Times, also owned by parent company News International, had been hacking the voice mail box and other records of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown for years. The Sunday Times allegedly posed as Brown to obtain his financial records, and the Sun allegedly received details about Brown's son's cystic fibrosis. The revelations mark the first time allegations have targeted News International's other papers.
News Corp referred its bid to take over satellite broadcaster BSkyB to the Competition Commission, which will delay the deal by at least six months as the company awaits regulatory clearance. British leaders have called for Murdoch to drop the bid, with Labor Party leader Ed Millibrand calling the deal "untenable" and Liberal Democrat Nick Clegg calling on News Corp to "do the decent and sensible thing."
Rupert Murdoch withdrew its $12 billion bid for BSkyB, the largest pay-TV broadcaster in Britain, after the British government withdrew its support the day before. The deal, which would have substantially increased Murdoch's foothold in the British media, appeared like it would sail through until last week. News Corp, which began to seek full ownership of BSkyB in March 2011, will keep its 39% stake in the company.
The FBI launched a probe into allegations that News Corp. attempted to hack the phones of September 11 victims after Representative Peter King and other members of Congress wrote to FBI Director Robert Mueller demanding an investigation. Murdoch also agreed give evidence before a parliamentary committee. He had previously said that he was not available to attend the hearing, but relented after receiving a personal summons delivered to him and his son by a deputy sergeant-at-arms.
Les Hinton announced his resignation as Dow Jones CEO, and Rebekah Brooks stepped down as chief executive of News International. Brooks presided over the News of the World during the phone hacking of murder victim Milly Dowler, and is scheduled to appear before a parliamentary committee next week. Murdoch also met with Dowler's family to apologize.
Brooks was arrested in connection with the scandal, throwing her scheduled appearance before Parliament on Tuesday into serious doubt. In addition, Sir Paul Stephenson, the head of Scotland Yard, resigned his position, becoming the highest-profile public official yet to lose his job because of the scandal. (The Met has itself been plunged into crisis for its lax handling of the scandal and for the corrupt ties police officers developed to News International.)
John Yates, assistant commissioner of the British Metropolitan Police, stepped down after the resignation of chief Paul Stephenson the previous night. The scandal has focused on British police for failing to investigate evidence of News of the World's phone hacking activities and for accepting bribes for information from tabloid writers. Yates decided not to reopen the investigation two years ago, saying he did not believe there was new evidence to consider.
Rupert Murdoch, son James and former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks testified in front of a parliamentary committee. All three insisted that they were not aware of phone hacking activities at the tabloid. Rupert Murdoch also made clear that he would not resign. Someone attempted to pie Murdoch in the face with shaving cream.
A former editor and a top lawyer for the News of the World accused Murdoch of lying in his testimony that he had no knowledge of phone hacking at the tabloid. The two recall showing him an email between private investigation Glenn Mulcaire and then-reporter Neville Thurlbeck with transcripts of hacked voice messages. Sun editor Matt Nixson was fired following allegations that he knew about phone hacking during his time at the News of the World. The investigation also threatened to spread to other newspapers that were named for using a private investigator to illegally obtain information.
The Guardian reported that the News of the World hacked the phone of Sara Payne, the mother of an 8 year old girl who was abducted and killed by a pedophile. The 2000 murder had prompted Rebekah Brooks to launch a campaign for a sex offender's law in Britain now known as "Sarah's Law." The phone that the tabloid hacked may have been one that Brooks personally gave to Payne in the aftermath of the tragedy, which Payne had praised as for helping her "stay in touch with my family, friends and support network."
Clive Goodman, a former News of the World reporter, has alleged that there was a massive coverup of phone hacking at the tabloid. He was arrested for phone hacking in 2007, and now claims that former editor Andy Coulson offered to let him keep his job in exchange for saying that he was the only person at the tabloid who hacked phones. The allegations are deeply damaging to Coulson and Rupert and James Murdoch, who have all maintained that they knew nothing about phone hacking.
Glenn Mulcaire, the private investigator hired by the News of the World to intercept voicemails, sued News Corp. over the payment of his legal fees. The company had been paying his fees since 2007 when he was found guilty of hacking the phones of aides to the royal family, but recently terminated the arrangement after Rupert and James Murdoch's testimonies in Parliament. Mulcaire himself is the target of dozens of civil lawsuits filed by suspected victims of phone hacking.
Glenn Mulcaire has been ordered to release the names of people who ordered him to hack the phones of six public figures. He is due to make the disclosure by the end of next week, as part of actor Steve Coogan's lawsuit against News Group. The revelations threaten to blow the defense presented by News of the World editors, who claim they knew nothing about phone hacking.

Ousted Africa Israel Chief Marin Alleges He Uncovered 'Abuses'
Richard Marin, former chief executive officer of Africa Israel USA, sued the company and its Israel-based parent, saying he was fired after uncovering "serious instances of self-dealing and conflict of interest."
Marin, who became CEO in February 2009, is seeking to recover a $1.25 million bonus he said he was promised for last year, plus management incentive fees and damages for his termination in December.
"This is a case of a company firing an executive in order to cover up wrongdoing that the executive discovered and reported," Marin said in the complaint, filed yesterday in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan. A lawyer for the company said today that Marin was fired after disagreements with management in Israel about strategy, and that he delayed repayment of a loan against the bonus.
Africa Israel USA, a unit of Israeli billionaire Lev Leviev's Africa Israel Investments Ltd., made its highest-profile acquisitions just before the onset of the credit crunch in 2007. A series of acquisitions that included the $525 million purchase of the former New York Times building and Manhattan's Clock Tower building for $200 million saddled the firm with $2 billion of debt.
Marin was hired to help the company "stop the bleeding" from its "badly timed investment binge," according to his suit.
'Willful Diversion'
Marin alleges that the company, struggling to restructure its debt, diverted a valuable client to a competing firm founded by a former employee. That client, China Sonangol International Ltd., which owns an office building at 23 Wall Street, brought more than $200,000 of fees to Africa Israel, which was managing the property, Marin's suit said. China Sonangol also owed Africa Israel $700,000 and Marin said that senior management in Israel prohibited him from suing to recover those funds because the Hong Kong firm has ties to Leviev's non-real estate ventures.
"Willful diversion of the opportunity deprived shareholders of Africa-Israel of hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue," Marin alleged in the suit.
Y. David Scharf, a lawyer for Africa Israel, said Marin was terminated because of a series of disagreements with management in Israel, including disputes over the strategic direction of the company and "outwardly hostile" remarks to Leviev in front of senior management. Marin also borrowed $500,000 against his bonus, according to Scharf and Marin's lawsuit. The amount should have been paid back in 2010, Scharf said; instead Marin created a promissory note with a date in 2011, against the bonus he expected to receive for 2010.
Bonus Advance
"He basically took the company's money and gave himself an advance against the 2010 bonus, which wasn't guaranteed. It was completely discretionary," Scharf said.
Marin described the bonus advance in his suit, saying he and management agreed the loan would be due in June 2011, and be repaid from his expected 2010 bonus. Africa Israel recorded the loan and its payment date in corporate filings in June and September 2010, according to the lawsuit.
Scharf also said that China Sonangol was unhappy with Africa Israel's performance in leasing the vacant space at 23 Wall Street, so Africa Israel referred it to another firm.
"It wasn't like Africa Israel diverted business to a competitor; they actually saved a working relationship," Scharf said. "Africa Israel was not generating revenue, not leasing the property."
The case is Richard A. Marin v. AI Holdings (USA) Corp., 651224/2011, New York state Supreme Court (Manhattan).

Information precision and asymptotic efficiency of industrial markets
I present a strategic model of a bilateral oligopoly with asymmetric information to examine (i) the validity of the conjecture of price-taking behavior in such markets as the number of agents becomes large and (ii) the effect of the rate that individual information precision decreases with increased number of agents on convergence to price-taking and efficiency. I show that with downstream competition, increasing the number of sellers may make all participants price-takers in the limit, but increasing the number of buyers may not. When the total precision of information in the market is high, price-taking and full social efficiency is achieved in the limit with large numbers of buyers and sellers. However, if the total precision of information in the market is poor, price-taking conjecture may fail and large inefficiencies, including full inefficiency, can occur in the limiting outcome. The rate of decrease of individual information precision with increased number of agents determines the rate of convergence to efficiency, and the convergence is slower than that predicted by single-unit auction models in the literature. I also demonstrate that when the number of sellers or both the number of buyers and the sellers go to infinity, price-taking and information aggregation tend to go together. When the number of buyers goes to infinity, however, information can get aggregated when the agents do not become price-takers in the limit. Albeit, in the latter case, the aggregated information is masked by the noise in the sellers' signals and the cost variability.

If you can only find regular coconut milk, buy 2 cans and use the thick cream that's floating at the top. The coconut cream will caramelize during cooking, leaving sweet brown flecks in the rice.
Leave a Review
I saw this recipe and thought it would make an interesting dessert with some ripe,juicy mango. Disgusting! I LOVE coconut! I LOVE jasmine rice! But together, this was nasty! There was NO coconut flavor in the rice to speak of. How is anyone tasting coconut? There were no brown flecks of sweetness to speak of. I added more coconut cream to the mixture. And then even more. All I could taste was jasmine rice. Dessert was ruined. At least I had some ice cream in the freezer. I had high hopes for this recipe. I trusted the ratings. I did not actually read the reviews until after the fact. I have no idea how this recipe got such great ratings and reviews. A true mystery!
I've made this several times. It's a family favorite.
Used a rice cooker, half the sugar, skipped salt. Served it with shrimp and fish using a spicy jamaican sauce.
I thought the rice to liquid ratio was off on this, but trusted the recipe as written. I shouldn't have! After 40 minutes, the rice was still crunchy. I added the rest of my can of coconut cream (about 3/4 cup) and 1.5 cups water. Brought to a boil again and simmered 15 minutes--then it was fluffy and good!
Delicious! I've tried several recipes and this is the best. And it's easy! I also bought the Trader Joe's coconut cream and their jasmine rice and they are terrific products. Love this recipe, and can't stop eating it!
Very tasty! Used 1/2 coconut cream and the rest with coconut milk; only 2 tsp. sugar. Added 1 tsp. of sauteed of cumin seeds to raw rice. Forgot to add bay leaf as recommended by another reviewer. Would definitely make again.

I have taken to making this at least once a week - great preparation - simple and wonderfully tasty. The coconut cream is worth searching out, as I just kept wasting the "other half" of the can, otherwise. I buy it in bulk from a local Asian grocery so I always have it on hand. Goes with everything - absolutely wonderful. Don't do what I did the first time and make it in a nonstick saucepan (!) - you'll never get the lovely browned bits that make it so texturally interesting and delicious.
Great recipe. Used Trader Joe's coconut cream. Substituted basmati rice and cooked it 20 minutes. Served it with Grilled Shrimp with Fiery Lemongrass-Chile Sambal, lovely.
this is a killer recipe. i could not find coconut cream so i used the (cream on the top) of two cans of coconut milk to make one cup, i added about 3 tsp of sugar (based on other reviews) and followed the cooking directions as written. so good!! i could have used a few more brown bits just cause they are so tasty but really, you can't go wrong here. yummmm!!

|nice warmup for fly with the falcon.
By Rob Dillon
Dec 15, 2006
...except that it's a 1-move wonder with the crux off the ground. If you find yourself pumped after this one, save the Falcon for another day.
'The Heaven of Animals' is the finger crack on the left wall, starting 30 or 40 feet up, and given .11a. Maybe this was the warmup you were thinking of; it definitely gives the forearms a good flush. Fun headwall at the top too.

|For the 5.8 leader, this is a really nice longer climb, at least for Twall. Gear is great and the climbing is straight forward. The first move is a little hard but protects fine. Classic in my book.

|The top section of the climb was wet. Overall this is a fun climb with an interesting start.

Diadema paucispinum
Diadema paucispinum, the long-spined sea urchin, is a species of sea urchin in the family Diadematidae. It is found in the western Indo-Pacific Ocean and in Hawaii and other east Pacific islands.
Diadema paucispinum is a small sea urchin with very long, moveable spines which are slender and sharply pointed. They can be up to 25 cm (10 in) long and about four times the diameter of the test. The primary spines are bluish-black in colour, often with pale bands in younger individuals. The shorter secondary ones are brittle and venomous and easily break off in the skin.[2] There are photosensitive spots in the urchin's epidermis and if a shadow falls on the animal, it angles its secondary spines towards the intruder. These can cause a painful sting if they come into contact with bare skin.[2] Near the apex of the test is a clearly visible anus surrounded by an orange ring and raised on a small projection. Radiating from this are five narrow, bright blue lines.[2][3]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
There are two mitochondrial clades of Diadema paucispinum. One was originally considered to be limited to Hawaii but has now been found on Easter Island, Pitcairn, and Okinawa. The other one ranges from East Africa and Arabia to the Philippines and New Guinea.[4] In shallow parts of the Red Sea this sea urchin is found on calcareous rocky shelves a few feet under the surface where it uses its spines to wedge itself into crevices and hollows in the rock.[3] In Hawaii it is known as "wana" and is found on reef flats and gently shelving areas.[2]
Diadema paucispinum is nocturnal and grazes on filamentous algae as it crawls over the rocks. Despite its formidable defensive armoury, Diadema paucispinum is preyed on by triggerfishes.[2]
Skin contact with this sea urchin should be avoided. An injury caused by the secondary spines should first be soaked in hot water to deactivate the toxins and later vinegar may help soften the spines. Surgical removal of spine tips that remain in the skin is difficult because of their fragility. Left alone they may gradually be absorbed into the tissues.[2]

In one respect, the Oracle of Omaha is having his first truly disappointing year since 1990.» Read More
Billionaire Warren Buffett said Monday the stock market would be viewed as "cheap" now if interest rates continued to remain low.
"If these interest rates were to continue for 10 years, stocks would be extremely cheap now," the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway said Monday on CNBC's "Squawk Box," two days after Berkshire's annual shareholder meeting.
Despite all the criticism of McDonald's, the fast-food giant is one of the nation's best educational institutions, Berkshire Hathaway's Charlie Munger said Monday.
"They take people and give them a first job, which enables them to get a second job. They do a very good job of educating troubled young people to be good citizens and they're probably more successful than charter schools," Berkshire's vice chairman told CNBC's "Squawk Box."
Warren Buffett's financial acumen and affable personality is well documented, but the CEOs of Berkshire Hathaway's big four investments—IBM, American Express, Coca-Cola, and Wells Fargo—paint a vivid picture of Buffett as an ally, a confidant, and astute observer of human nature.
"Millennials love him," Coca-Cola Chairman and CEO Muhtar Kent said of the octogenarian investor. "Young people love to be around him, and he loves to be around young people because he has just got this unique ability to follow consumers ... where they want to go."
"He interprets … consumers' value today versus yesterday, and what they're going to value tomorrow," the Coke boss added.
Kent, along with IBM Chair and CEO Ginni Rometty, American Express Chairman and CEO Ken Chenault, and Wells Fargo Chairman and CEO John Stumpf, sat down with CNBC over the weekend at Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholder meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, to talk about the folksy billionaire next door.
Warren Buffett unapologetically defended Berkshire Hathaway's lending unit on Saturday from accusations of predatory lending, telling CNBC in an interview that he's never even received as much as "one letter of complaint" about its practices.
Warren Buffett said on Saturday he bought more IBM stock for Berkshire Hathaway in the first quarter, but didn't specify by how much.
In a conversation with CNBC's Becky Quick ahead of today's shareholders meeting in Omaha, Buffett told her the exact numbers will be in the company's SEC filing revealing its stock holdings as of the end of March. That filing is due around the middle of this month.
A Berkshire Hathaway in transition will greet the tens of thousands of shareholders flocking to Omaha, Nebraska, this weekend to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Warren Buffett's acquisition of the company.
Starting in 1965, Buffett initially converted the former Massachusetts textile maker into a gigantic stock holding company with purchases financed by the premiums paid to its substantial insurance operations.
In recent years, however, the company has made another dramatic transformation.
Berkshire has become more of a diversified conglomerate as it puts billions of dollars into buying all or big chunks of money-generating companies such as BNSF, Heinz, the big car dealer chain Van Tuyl Group, and most recently, Kraft Foods,
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett said he believes the Federal Reserve won't be in any hurry to increase interest rates—in part because of the softer U.S. economy at the start of the year, but more so due to what's going on in European bond markets.
"I think it would be very hard for the Fed to bump rates up here with negative rates in Europe," the Berkshire Hathaway chairman and CEO told CNBC in an interview that aired on "Squawk Box" Friday.
Recent calculations by Goldman Sachs showed that more than $2.1 trillion of outstanding euro zone sovereign debt now has a negative yield.
As for the aggravating factor of weaker economic growth, Buffett said he does see some bright spots. "Things like autos are very strong; things like housing are a little better." He continued, "In our rail car holdings, you see that it isn't that strong but on the other hand it's not going backwards at all."

The government on Wednesday reported that first-quarter gross domestic product grew at a lower-than-expected 0.2 percent. The economy grew 2.2 percent in the fourth quarter and 5 percent in the third quarter of 2014.
Many economists are expecting a pickup in growth in the second half of the year, and even the Fed in its policy statement after its April meeting on Wednesday downplayed the GDP print for the first three months of the year.
In fact, according to an analysis by CNBC earlier this month, three decades of government GDP data suggests a longstanding trend of lackluster first-quarter growth. It's unclear what's caused the trend, but Buffett said, "You wonder about seasonal adjustments."
But all things considered, the U.S. is "doing well," even under a longer-term growth rate of around 2 percent, he argued. "We might like to see more growth … [but] 1 percent inflation means that in a generation things improved 20 percent per capita, and that's another $10,000 of GDP per capita in one generation. That's fabulous."
Whether it's the U.S. economy or negative yields in Europe or some other factor, Wall Street continues to play the guessing-game over when the Fed might raise rates for the first time in nearly 10 years. The Fed policy statement also removed all calendar guidance. Earlier this year, June was favored by economists as the likely start. But now, September has emerged as the best bet for liftoff.
Buffett will be presiding over Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting Saturday in Omaha, Nebraska. The 50th anniversary celebration of the company is expected to draw a larger than usual crowd of 40,000 people.
Warren Buffett recently said he thinks the car-dealership franchise model isn't going to change. I wouldn't be so sure.
At the NADA/J.D. Power Automotive Forum in New York recently, Buffett said, "When a distribution system [car dealers] becomes that firmly established, there's a reason for it."
But, of course, everything changes. We have seen entire established industries collapse given the technologies that are available to us today.
As the market enters an environment of uncertainty in the second quarter, Jim Cramer thought it was time to dig into his bag of tricks on the best way to fight a slowdown.
What is one thing he knows about slowdowns? Stocks with dividends tend to outperform.
This is because if when the economy slows down, most investors assume there will be lower interest rates, which means stocks with higher dividends face less competition from the bond market.
Now this doesn't mean that Cramer thinks investors should just jump on board with any stock out there with a good dividend. Instead, the "Mad Money" host took a cue from the Oracle of Omaha himself to help navigate the market of uncertainty.
Warren Buffett's new auto dealership business isn't under any threat from Elon Musk or his Tesla distribution model, the billionaire said Tuesday.
Speaking to CNBC at a forum hosted by the National Automobile Dealers Association, J.D. Power and the New York International Auto Show, Buffett said he did not anticipate much of a threat from the electric car company's direct-to-consumer model because of Tesla's relatively small market.
