Boxer, Beetle: A Novel by Ned Beauman (Author)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award in 2010.

The three main characters in Boxer Beetle all have what one might call issues. Kevin, alias Fishy, suffers from a rare condition that makes him smell like week-old seafood; he's also a stealthy collector of Nazi memorabilia. Philip Erskine is a fascist, eugenicist and repressed homosexual, who in the mid-Thirties becomes fascinated by Seth "Sinner" Roach, a gay, sadistic, alcoholic flyweight from Poland by way of the East End of London, on the principle that the latter, small but nearly perfectly formed, is the proverbial flower in a dungheap.
Certain intrigues involving a Welsh hitman and – it seems – a millionaire property developer who shares Kevin's taste in collectables, compel his interest in the story of the other two, both by now dead.
It transpires that Seth wasn't the only specimen to find a home in Erskine's laboratory; the real star of the book is the eponymous beetle, bred from a specimen found by Erskine on a field trip and named, thanks to the swastika on its back as well as a certain, let's say, unscrupulousness, after Adolf Hitler.
This is a fairly busy book. My favourite part is the middle: an energetic parody of a country house murder mystery. It's fun partly because its singular focus allows a smooth narrative flow for a while; but mostly because it's just very funny.
As well as evoking Agatha Christie and Evelyn Waugh, it also slyly attacks the contemporary English upper-middlebrow heritage novel, through the insupportable Millicent, a dead ringer for Ian McEwan's Briony Tallis ("Mr Erskine, I have just seen your friend Mr Morton brutally sodomising your dear mother!")
The rest is ambitious and energetic, but seems, as critics used to say, narratively overdetermined. Against this one should sound a quiet note of praise. When Beauman gives himself space he shows a brave kindness towards some blisteringly unpromising characters.
I liked his description of Seth's first drink in some time as "an intense relief, as when someone tells you at the last moment that you do not have to do something that you have been dreading"; and I loved the tentative relationship between Erskine and Seth and how love, hate, violence, domination and a funny kind of domesticity all swirl unpredictably around in it for a little while, before we're back to the rough urban poetry, the bugs and the big ideas.

Kevin Broom, also known as "Fishy", suffers from trimethylaminuria: a rare condition that means he smells of rotting fish. He doesn't get out much, except to run sinister, after-hours errands for wealthy property developer Grublock who, like Kevin, collects Nazi memorabilia. (The Nazi memorabilia message boards are "brisk with shared endeavour and healthy competition", which is more appealing to Kevin than the "depressing" trimethylaminuria support groups.)
The novel begins with Grublock sending Kevin to check up on a private investigator. Kevin finds him dead. He also finds a note written to a man called Dr Erskine from Adolf Hitler thanking him for his "kind tribute". Grublock has mentioned a boxer called Seth Roach, though Kevin has no idea how he might be connected. When Grublock is killed, Kevin must try to find out.
What follows is a gripping and clever story, as Kevin reconstructs the events that led to the letter from Hitler, and uncovers the tragically doomed love affair between the eugenics-obsessed entomologist Dr Erskine (he provides the beetles) and the Jewish boxer Seth Roach. Along the way we meet rabbis, small-time gangsters, town planners and, memorably, another entomologist who carries bedbugs around in a glass vial, "which every night he tipped out onto his hairy thigh so they could feed on his blood". There is a brief history of invented languages, a discussion about dissonant music and its relationship to capitalism, and an analysis of what is wrong with new towns (among other things, there are too many roundabouts).
While the frame narrative occasionally strays too far into postmodern whimsy, as the mostly cheerful Kevin is driven around handcuffed to a dashboard by a Welsh hitman ("When I am in a stressful situation, I often like to ask myself: what would Batman do in my place?"), the 1930s are wonderfully evoked, and the historical sections of the novel are taut, thematically rich and extremely well written. One chapter begins: "The morning light peeked in through the windows of the mortuary, pasty and trembling like the sort of ghoulish little boy who would rather see a dead girl than a naked one." Elsewhere, the "tepid April rain fell on London with all the sincerity of a hired sales gimmick for umbrellas". A girl's character and appearance is summed up with this: "She had so many freckles that Erskine wondered if she might have stolen some from other children."
The "well-made" realist novel has been thoroughly picked over lately, and many commentators have wondered why writers persist with, as Coetzee puts it, "its plot and its characters and its settings". Some have said the realist novel is dead, or just boring. But the best kind of realism is not the literary equivalent of a new town with too many roundabouts, and signposts that don't allow you to get lost. Great realist fiction has always been about messing with reality – exposing it, heightening it, exploring it, smashing it up a bit, turning it inside out and shaking it to get a better look at it. It doesn't always have to be "realistic", but it does need to be compassionate, and to acknowledge that, because we are all flawed, no one is a villain. It's relatively easy to write a clever essay, or a piece of fiction that rejects plot, character and setting. But it takes a real skill to make a tragic hero out of the five-foot, nine-toed, alcoholic Seth Roach, for whom sex is an extension of boxing and "posh cunts" are there to exploit and beat up.
Almost everyone else in this novel is even less appealing – in theory – than Seth, but it is possible to identify with all of them and to care about what happens to them next. Because we are emotionally involved in the drama of the novel and its characters, we can more meaningfully engage with its thematic questions. What does it mean to feel you have to hold someone or something in contempt? What is true progress? What would it mean to breed a super-race of anything (beetles with swastikas on their wings, for example) and to stamp out any kind of mutation?
It's clear from this compelling debut that Beauman can perform the complicated paradoxical trick required of the best 21st-century realist novelists: to take an old and predictable structure and allow it to produce new and unpredictable connections.
Beauman's first novel is a great read. Lots of humour and a gripping story that never takes itself too seriously. Sort of like a Malcolm price detective time travelling novel with a bit of 19th century eugenics thrown in. Very satisfying. If you liked it then read his second.
A massive exploration into eugenics, Boxer, Beetle is ambitious. The two main characters are self-loathing bastards, though their self-destruction manifests itself in different ways. It's a man's world, so the only woman who comes close to being a main character is somehow more well-adjusted (perhaps because she is straight and the men are not straight.) The narrator doesn't seem to be a main character to me, because the book is strangely more about the past than the present. And the story in both the past and the present takes many twists and turns.
What Beauman does well is the development of the neurotic male characters (Erskine and Broom) in the book. Their lives, their personal and social constraints, their worries, and their ambitions make them whole. What Beauman does too much of, for me, is the political blabber about the anti-Semitic, eugenics-centered arguments between politicians and intellectuals that go on and on and on for pages, where, yes, one would need to look up many events that happen or are referred to make sense of most of it. That's all fine; who doesn't like to work a little to learn some good history? (Uhm, some people don't, so this book is not recommended for those...) But somehow it was too much, too long, and at some point I found myself skimming through the anti-Semitic bullshit to get to the action or the personal developments. All of it reminded me of Rushdie's books where references to current affairs and historical events are a staple of every paragraph, but Beauman's prose does not flow as well or is not as captivating. There is also the added massive uncomfortable feeling of reading horrendously racist things being said that if you grew up in the West and are not a skinhead, you might find yourself cringing a lot. Of course, most of it is also hilarious. But not at all. But yes. But no. And it goes...
As for the beetles... As someone who designs biological experiments to test hypotheses on a daily basis, I am not sure what the question is that is being asked by the experiments with the beetles in the book. That selective breeding can improve select traits? But that's not what Erskine's genius (eugenics) idea, that's only what agriculture and farming has been doing for centuries. Can we breed better stuff by combining those that have select good traits? Sure, but nowhere in the book do we learn that Erskine has done such experiments. What seems to happen int he book is that there are some beetles and by feeding them different stuff and/or over time, Erskine allows them to become super beetles... Uhm, OK... (Perhaps all this is to ridicule the "science" of eugenics?)
In the end, I am glad I read this book and learned some stuff about fascism in Europe (Blackshirts, Battle of Cable Street, etc.) I am not sure if I would recommend to to anyone, other than those who really enjoy intellectual, historical, and rather uncomfortable subject matters.
It's too short to give the material proper treatment. The framing device of Kevin in modern day is almost unimportant.
Monstrous misfits with ugly motives are beautifully rendered in a novel where Beauman's scrupulous research is deftly threaded through serious themes in a laugh-out-loud-on-the-train history lesson.
It's clear from this compelling debut that Beauman can perform the complicated paradoxical trick required of the best 21st-century realist novelists: to take an old and predictable structure and allow it to produce new and unpredictable connections.

London, 1934. Philip Erskine, gentleman entomologist and Nazi sympathizer, is distracted from his beetle breeding by an interest in eugenics, and by one beguiling human specimen: Seth "Sinner" Roach, a Jewish, homosexual, nine-toed runt of a boxer. Seventy-five years later, a crime scene clue sets a hapless collector of wartime memorabilia on the trail of scientist and subject, leading toward a danger that my not have died with the Third Reich, after all.… (more)

Leading candidates for 2004 National MVP honors
A breakdown of the leading candidates for the 2004 National Most Valuable Player award from across the country. The table below is complete with stats, team records, state and national rankings and other notes on each candidate.
There are 14 candidates that we came up with, and each one is ranked among RivalsHoops.com's upper echelon of 2004 players. Arizona-bound Jawann McClellan actually happens to be the lowest-ranked of them all at No. 38 (note to Rivals: update rankings ASAP, folks).
What we were basing MVP consideration on was, of course, individual play (stats, feats, etc.) but also on how well a particular player has helped his team improve and lead them to wins and lofty rankings in their city, region, state or in the country.
Again, this list is for the Most Valuable player, not the Player of the Year, which is obviously a completely different animal. Jefferson, Howard and Livingston are sure to be the top three or so for POY honors, but for now we want to examine which player below has been the most valuable.

And then when I fucking lose my god damn cell have to buy all of the ringtones I've already paid for once before. Some friends told me about a site where you can text ringtones to your cell for free. And also upload any saved image on your computer and text it to your phone to use as a background or whatever. The ringtones are free because they work in the same way... you upload the songs on your computer and chose which part of the song and how long you want it to play as your ringtone. And even better the site has a library and you can search and use any of the songs other people have uploaded to the site. The site has worked for me pretty good and I think it works for any network and almost any phone.
enjoy blades.

Helpful Tip for: Adult & Continuing Education
Adult education in Jersey City denotes the educational courses, specially designed for adults, who for some reason could not accomplish the basic school certification. Continuing education for adults, on the other hand, is meant for the employed people who aim for earning a higher degree for developing their career. The most prominent feature of such educational programs is that the timing of the courses do not coincide with the job-timings.

The Bulls hope Joakim Noah is one of the reserves named to the Eastern Conference All-Star team when the list is revealed tomorrow night. Noah should make the team, but if he does he won't be joined in New Orleans by Tony Snell. The Bulls' rookie was left off the Rookie roster for the Rising Stars Challenge, which will take place Friday, Feb. 14 to begin the All-Star festivities.
Snell has appeared in 39 games for the Bulls, averaging 5.7 points on 38 percent shooting and 1.0 3-pointers per game. He's been slightly better since the Bulls traded Luol Deng -- freeing up minutes on the wing -- averaging 7.0 points on 39.5 percent shooting, 1.4 3-pointers and 2.8 rebounds in better than 22 minutes. If there were to be an argument for who Snell should have made the team over, Nets reserve center Mason Plumlee is averaging 5.6 points and 3.0 rebounds in 15 minutes per game.
[BULLS: What it would take to get Carmelo to Chicago]
For the first time in All-Star Weekend history, the Rising Stars Challenge participants, selected by the NBA's assistant coaches, will be grouped into one pool, and a draft will take place on Feb. 6 to determine the teams. That's probably a good thing, considering how loaded the sophomore team would be. That sophomore team includes standouts Bradley Beal, Andre Drummond, Damian Lillard, Terrence Jones and Anthony Davis.
Just five Lottery picks -- Victor Oladipo, Trey Burke, Michael Carter-Williams, Steven Adams, Kelly Olynyk -- from this year's draft class made the game (meaning nine did not), and only one of the first eight picks (Burke) made the game. First overall pick Anthony Bennett was the first top pick not to make the game since Kwame Brown in 2001. Bennett has been a major bust in his first year in Cleveland, averaging just 2.8 points and 2.4 rebounds in 10.8 minutes per game -- and he's appeared in only 33 games.
Taj Gibson was the last member of the Bulls to represent Chicago in the game, playing for the sophomores in 2011. Gibson (then a rookie) faced off against Derrick Rose (sophomore) in 2010, and Rose appeared as a rookie in 2009. Elton Brand (2000, rookie; 2001, sophomore), Khaled El-Amin (2001, rookie), Marcus Fizer (2002, sophomore), Jay Williams (2003, rookie), Tyson Chandler (2004, sophomore), Kirk Hinrich (2004, rookie; 2005, sophomore), Luol Deng (2005, rookie; 2006, sophomore), Ben Gordon (2006, sophomore) and Andres Nocioni (2006, sophomore) also have all represented the Bulls in the game. Toni Kukoc was the first Bull to participate in the event, playing as a rookie in 1994.
Here's a full list of this year's participants:
Steven Adams, C, Oklahoma City Thunder
Giannis Antetokounpo, F, Milwaukee Bucks
Pero Antic, C, Atlanta Hawks
Trey Burke, G, Utah Jazz
Michael Carter-Williams, G, Philadelphia 76ers
Tim Hardaway Jr., G, New York Knicks
Victor Oladipo, G, Orlando Magic
Kelly Olynyk, C, Boston Celtics
Mason Plumlee, C, Brooklyn Nets
Harrison Barnes, F, Golden State Warriors
Bradley Beal, G, Washington Wizards

Re: No Rams on TV: Team's sellout streak ends
Those of us whom the Rams abandoned really do not feel terribly sorry that ther Rams did not sell out their stadium. Maybe the grass was only spray-painted greener? Or maybe there is a septic tank under that grass?
We rarely get the games televised out here in Central/Southern CA as we are not in the Rams "region" anymore.... but then who moved?
One has to have Direct tv to purchase NFL Ticket but even then the non-sold out games are blacked out. This is all part of the NFL scheme to squeeze the fans for all the cash they can. I can see it set up eventually so that there will be no commercial games broadcast, only pay per view...
At least, for now anyway, if the Rams somehow climb throuugh the backwindow, maybe even the upstairs window, the games have little choice than to be televised!

Re: No Rams on TV: Team's sellout streak ends
This was bound to happen eventually. I'd bet that St. Louis is in the upper end of attendance year after year. And suddenly we go low enough to cause a blackout and people have to personally disrespect those fans in the city with those kind of comments.
As for me. I live in the San Fran area, but I'm in St. Louis and will be going to the game with all the ignorant and arrogant people.

Re: No Rams on TV: Team's sellout streak ends
I have a hard time getting down on fans for not selling out a game on Christmas Eve. I dunno, I'm much more embarrassed about the MNF game than this piece of news.

Re: No Rams on TV: Team's sellout streak ends
It is the product that dictates the fans support. StL Is a Sportstown overall. And the Rams belong. So arrogant is the term for now. But when the tough times come around. Which they will. This city will stick with a short term fix.
We would not get this support in LA. I know i experienced it first hand.
If anybody has been more critical of this team. It's been me and i know as a true fan that this team deserves STL and STL deserves NFL Rams football.
Enough said---Go Rams

Re: No Rams on TV: Team's sellout streak ends
Did the Rams sell out every game in all their years in LA? Did they have a home game on CHRISTMAS EVE during a 6-8 season that we can compare this situation to? I'm a longtime fan of the LA/STL Rams and I think that 1 non-sellout in an 11 year span is not the end of the world and can be a good thing as it sends a message to the team to improve the product. I live near Philly and Eagle fans are supposed to be one of the most "Diehard "fans in the league,not to mention the 4th or 5th largest city in this country.In bad seasons for the Eagles they have had situations of non-sellouts at the end of the years against a less than stellar opponent And in a fairly new stadium?
I'm pretty new to this board but the 1 thing I have in common with ALL of you is that I am a RAMS fan and it's not a LA VS STL thing.They could play in Eastern Lower Gybip and I would STILL be a RAMS fan although that would be quite a mouthful!!!

Re: No Rams on TV: Team's sellout streak ends
To alter a famous phrase - "If you build a team - they will come." (But maybe not on Christmas Eve, because a lot of people will be over the river and through the woods, on their way to Grandma's house, or last-minute shopping, or staying home with their families, or getting the cookies and beer ready for Santa....)

Re: No Rams on TV: Team's sellout streak ends
But past that let's recognize that St. Louis has one of the worst deals for season ticket holders out there. Our share of PSLs to season ticket holders is one of the highest in professional sports.

Re: No Rams on TV: Team's sellout streak ends
It's Christmas Eve
Washington Redskins are 5-9
Fans have written off the Rams for this season.
This should be a very entertaining game. It's the last home game of the season.
Playing indoors at the friendly confines of the Dome. (No Weather issues)
The Packers won last night over the Vikings.
We are still alive in the playoff scenario.
We've had alot of big games this season...this is do or die.

Re: No Rams on TV: Team's sellout streak ends
As for "The Streak" congrats St. Louie. You would never get that kind of streak in Los Angeles. As for blackouts Los Angeles is blacked out permanently. No NFL ticket, No Rams football!LA RAMMER

Re: No Rams on TV: Team's sellout streak ends
I'm not terribly moved one way or the other about this news. It's a meaningless streak since so many Rams homes games have been sellouts thanks to corporate/team/NFL buyouts at the last minute. It's been 10 years so it's understandable that the newness has worn off but it would be nice if a St. Louis fan gave a little back to LA fans who were chided for not selling out all the time...especially at the end of '94.
St. Louis fans aren't any different than any other fans and shouldn't be expected to support a losing franchise. Start winning and the attendance will go back up.

Re: No Rams on TV: Team's sellout streak endsOriginally Posted by a SOCAL fanOriginally Posted by another SOCAL fan
A slack season against a non-division opponent on Christmas Eve...oddly enough I don't think a move back to LA would have done better than 95% of the tickets either.
Can we move on now to talk football or is the LA vs. STL thing going to linger through the holidays?

Re: No Rams on TV: Team's sellout streak ends
I am pooling a number of investors to build a stadium in my backyard here in Stockton for the Rams. This news of a none sell out is EXACTLY what I need to pull this off! By the way, members of ClanRam...tickets to games...comped!

"Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again" (John 12:27-28).
If you will bear with me for a moment, I would like to make a bald assertion. Here it comes. This verse is talking about the same thing that Reformed theologians are talking about when they refer to the imputation of the active obedience of Christ.
Still with me? Is this going to affect my bounce rates?
In the gospel of John, whenever God glorifies the Son, we are talking about some aspect of the salvation of men. We see this glory principally in the crucifixion (which is what Jesus is praying about here in this passage), but the Father explicitly says that He had glorified His own name (in and through Jesus) already. He would do it again in the cross, but the work of glorifying the Father's name through the priestly work of Jesus was already in process.
How do we know that Christ's perfect life as the new Israel was imputed to every true member of the new Israel? We know it because — given what the Father says from Heaven here — it really would glorify the Father's name if it were true.

It seems that the cold and flu season is now in full force at my son's school. Half of the students in his class have been out sick over the past week, and teachers are falling ill as well. Friends who teach in other cities across İstanbul have also reported a large number of absences in both the student body and the faculty due to illness.
Usually the flu season runs from November through March, and the cold season hits its peak from September through April. However, anyone can catch either illness at any time of the year. Unfortunately, children are two to three times more susceptible to coming down with a cold or flu than an adult. When one child in a school falls ill, a virus can quickly spread through the enclosed space of a school or classroom as well as by simply handling the same toys, pencils, books, cups and eating utensils.
Precautions can be taken to reduce the risk of spreading an illness. The first step, which many parents unfortunately overlook, is if your child is sick, do not send them to school. If they have symptoms of a cold or flu, it is better for them to rest at home instead of being sent to sit miserably in a classroom all day and possibly infect others around them. They can always catch up on any missed work when they are feeling better.
We all know that we need to wash our hands often throughout the day. However, for many people, especially children, simply running water over the hands is as far as the washing goes. It actually takes at least 20 seconds of washing the hands with warm water and soap for the hands to be thoroughly cleansed. An easy way to teach children just how long they should wash their hands to get them clean is to have them recite the alphabet or sing the Happy Birthday song twice. Both last just about the right amount of time.
When on public transportation, I constantly see people sneezing and coughing without covering their noses or mouths. This is one of the quickest ways to spread illness. I cringe when an obviously sick person is coughing and sneezing in public places and not bothering to try to use a tissue. Like me, my son always has a packet of tissues in his backpack not only for sniffles or coughs, but also in case of spills or accidents that need to be cleaned up. I've noticed over the past few years that more children are aware of spreading germs through coughing and some remember that if they don't have a tissue handy, they should cough into the crook of their arm to try and stop some of the spread of germs. Of course, children have a tendency to use tissues and then stuff them away in their pockets, so parents need to check to make sure used tissues are thrown away.
At home, there are many places where germs lurk that we don't even think about. High traffic areas such as walls, light switches, computer keyboards, glasses and desks should all be cleaned and disinfected often. All these areas should be wiped down frequently with a disinfectant to help stop the spread of germs. Phones, too, should be wiped down periodically.
Most people try to keep their bathrooms reasonably clean. However, what many do not realize is that, on average, the kitchen harbors many more germs that the bathroom. Kitchen sinks are the repository for meat, bones and other garbage slated for cleanup later. This results in a hotspot for bacteria growth, and a sink should be cleaned often to discourage this growth. Sponges and dishtowels are not immune, either. Both should be changed every one to two months because they harbor bacteria. Wash dishtowels every few days to cut down on problems, not just in cold and flu season, but all year.
Many people use the terms cold and flu interchangeably, but there are differences between the two illnesses. It is rare to have a fever with a cold, but with the flu, a low-grade to high fever is common. The flu is often accompanied by the sudden onset of fatigue, which is fairly uncommon with a cold. Flu sufferers may experience severe headaches and general muscle aches and pains. A runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat or cough are all common symptoms of both a cold and flu. The flu can be especially dangerous for the elderly, young children and those with suppressed immune systems. Complications from the flu can include bacterial pneumonia, ear and sinus infections and dehydration.
The flu can be passed on to others not only while a person is sick, but also before they begin to develop symptoms. Most adults are carriers for one day before they notice symptoms and for up to a week after becoming ill. Children can pass along the flu for a longer time after symptoms appear.
I doubt if any of us want to live in a sterile environment and limit contact with the outside world in an attempt to try and avoid exposure to germs and bacteria. Basically, we can take precautions as much as possible and hope for the best. In spite of some of the old wives' tales that I have been told while living in Turkey, the real reason there is an upsurge in colds and flu during the winter months is that people tend to spend more time indoors, around others who are ill. In enclosed spaces, viruses spread quickly. Getting the flu or catching a cold is not due to walking barefoot on a cold floor or walking outside without a warm hat on.
As soon as you feel ill, crawl into bed, get as much rest as you can, drink plenty of fluids and eat healthy food to help boost your energy and immune system. And please, if your child is ill, keep them home instead of sending them off to school. Other parents, classmates and teachers will appreciate it.

Child Safety: Child Safe Blinds & Shades
- Ensures the safest room for children
- Avoids unnecessary injuries and clutter
- An array of child and pet friendly styles
- Pick cordless operation for low heights
- Pick motorized for tall heights
Blindsgalore supports the Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) in providing window treatments that meet the highest standards in cord safety to avoid any unwanted injuries or mishaps. The WCSC recommends that blinds and shades be equipped with a cordless option or for ease and extra protection. Blindsgalore recommends a motorized blind or shade for the utmost safety. If the location or large size of the window prevents a cordless selection, the WCSC approves a continuous cord loop. This option features a clutch-assisted lift with a looped cord that is anchored to the wall and remains the same length regardless of the position of the shade. Cordless window treatments are really the smart choice for all of your blinds and shades.

COSTA MESA, Calif., March 5, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pacific Mercantile Bancorp (Nasdaq:PMBC) announced today that it has entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to sell up to a total of 2,222,222 shares of its common stock, at a price of $6.75 per share in cash, to Carpenter Community BancFund LP and Carpenter Community BancFund-A LP (collectively, the "Carpenter Funds"). The price of $6.75 per share of common stock represents a 13% premium over the $5.95 closing price of the Company's common stock on February 26, 2013, the day before the effective date of the Agreement. The net proceeds from the sale of those shares, which are expected to total approximately $14,800,000, will be contributed by the Company to a new wholly-owned asset management subsidiary, which will use those proceeds to fund the purchase of nonperforming loans and foreclosed real properties from the Company's wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Pacific Mercantile Bank. Following the purchase of those assets, the new asset management subsidiary will focus its efforts and resources principally on managing and disposing of those assets. The sale of those assets by the Bank to that subsidiary is expected to result in improvements in the Bank's financial condition and future financial performance and, at the same time, will provide the Bank with additional financial resources that it plans to use to fund new loans and grow its business.

Predeparture orientation programs have emerged as an important tool for the protection of migrant workers for a number of Asian states. This brief examines the strengths, limitations, and areas for improvement of this intervention.
This issue brief examines Asian labor migration to the Middle East—a region distinguished by its major dependence on migrant workers, the overwhelming majority from Asia. The author focuses on the role of private recruiting agencies as key facilitators of temporary labor migration and perpetrators of exploitative practices.
This brief provides a background on the displacement and evacuation of migrant workers caught in the Libyan civil war. It highlights questions raised as a result of this crisis regarding the response of the international community, discusses lessons learned from the Libyan experience, and identifies policy recommendations for addressing the protection needs of labor migrants during humanitarian crises.
This brief outlines the key policy challenges governments and other stakeholders face in addressing the health needs of Asian labor migrants. It highlights the obstacles migrant workers face in accessing health facilities and services at various stages of migration, before proposing five key steps for translating the growing interest in migrant health issues to visible changes on the ground.
This report provides a comprehensive profile of the immigrant population in Napa County, CA. It examines the effect of immigration on the county's demographic trends and calculates the economic contributions of immigrants as well as their impact on government revenues and expenditures.

Woman - evil? by ScruffyLadWatch
©2004-2016 ScruffyLad
Just a drawing I did a couple weeks ago of a fantasy-style woman, possibly evil (I'm still not sure.)
Thanks for the comment. Inking is one of those things that I have to practice a lot, screw up a lot, and hopefully improve upon.
this is your best draw by now , maybe the inking would be better if the outlines(contour)be more big and the inside lines (face,details, clothes )will be a little bit.

Just had laminate flooring fitted in two bedrooms. Service from Gary and his team was first class and the end result of fitting by Steven, is outstanding. Had work carried out before by these guys to the same standard. So glad I found these guys and will most definitely having any future work carried out by The Floor Studio, Thanks Guys!Terry Deans, Monifieth
When our production offices were being updated, The Floor Studio were recommended to us by David Nicoll. Work undertaken whilst doing this was of a high standard, and we found their prices competitive. Since then we have used them to re-carpet our main reception, offices and hallways. This job proved to be more tricky than initially thought, and we were very pleased with their timely response to dealing with the unexpected complexities in order to finish the job within the allocated timescales. We found their fitting team to be courteous and helpful.Irene Allen, Bairds Malt Ltd
Just a word of thanks for not only an excellent job on the carpets, but to mention the two lads who laid them. The extent of the damage to our house meant the heavy oak bedroom furniture was stored in the garage. The lads not only carried it into the house, but also put it back in place. 'Above and beyond the call of duty' Thanks again. Doreen Munro, Broughty Ferry

Article Summary
A hundred years ago, the state-of-the-art of automotive technology was being pushed forward as quickly by shade-tree mechanics as it was by formal industrial R&D. To paraphrase John Steinbeck: "Two generations of Americans knew more about the planetary system of gears than the solar system of stars." The current situation in robotics could be seen in a similar light - open source hardware and software provide very similar tools and capabilities to hobbyists and robotics start-up company alike. To ease entry into the field, Freescale Semiconductors has just introduced FSLBOT, which provides the basic hardware and software for development of a walking, sensor-laden robot starting at only US$200.

Ireland's President Mary McAleese has personally thanked the Jewish community for a donation of $82,000 given to the victims of the Irish Potato Famine in 1847.
The President was speaking at New York's Temple Shearith Israel, a synagogue founded in Crosby Street in 1654 by Brazilian, Spanish and Portuguese Jews.
In 1847 Jacques Judah Lyons, who was chazan of the synagogue, organised a donation of $1,000 from the congregation to be sent to the victims of the famine. The Irish famine killed more than a million people between 1845 and 1852.
Sarah Jessica Parker wowed the crowds at the Sex and the City 2 premiere in New York in a fluorescent yellow dress.
The Jewish actress did her alter-ego Carrie Bradshaw proud in a floor length Valentino piece as she launched the much anticipated second film in the popular series.
Sporting a tan and characteristic killer heels, Ms Parker was joined on the blue carpet by fellow cast members Kim Catrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon.
After the film the stars enjoyed a Middle Eastern style dinner of hummus and kebabs.
The Israeli president has slammed The Guardian newspaper for its claim that Israel offered to sell South Africa nuclear weapons in the 1970s.
Shimon Peres said the allegations had no basis in reality and demanded a correction after the newspaper accused Israel of holding secret negotiations with South Africa's defence minister, PW Botha, in March 1975.
The newspaper said an American academic had uncovered secret documents showing that as Israel's defence minister, Mr Peres had offered three sizes of warheads to the apartheid regime.
The Jewish husband of actress Brittany Murphy has died age 39 after suffering a suspected heart attack at the couple's former home in Hollywood Hills.
Screenwriter Simon Monjack's death comes just five months after Brittany, 32, died in his arms after suffering a heart attack in the shower at the same house.
After Brittany's death Monjack ruffled feathers when he tried in vain to block plans for a post-mortem examination.
Monjack, who was born in North London, met Brittany through a mutual friend and they married soon afterwards in a Jewish ceremony in LA in May 2007.
Auschwitz has reopened to visitors after extreme floods, which have claimed the lives of seven people in Poland, forced the museum to close.
Thousands were evacuated from their homes after the Vistula and Sola rivers flooded after heavy rain.
Auschwitz's museum has been closed since Monday, as volunteers and firefighters worked to build flood barriers to protect it from the rising water. Archives and thousands of items belonging to the camp's victims were re-stored in top floors of the museum's buildings.
The water reached within a few metres of the grounds on Tuesday night.
An 85-year-old man, who has admitted he was a SS guard at three Nazi concentration camps, has had his US citizenship revoked and will be deported to Austria.
Anton Geiser, who lives in Sharon, Philadelphia, admitted he served as an SS Guard in Sachsenhausen in 1943, where he marched forced labourers and was on orders to shoot attempted escapees. He was a member of the SS Death's Head battalion
He also admitted serving as an armed guard at Buchenwald and Arolsen between November 1943 and April 1945.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned government and municipal authorities not to discriminate against non-Muslims, and instructed the country's judicial authorities to act against print and broadcast material that provokes racial and religious hatred.
"Although legal readjustments were made on matters concerning the non-Muslim minorities in our democratisation programme, it has been noticed that these have not been fully implemented," he said in a decree.
Brazil's President Ignazio Lula da Silva and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan have emerged as big global players after delivering a compromise over Iran's nuclear fuel following intensive diplomatic talks in Tehran.
Though not all its details are known yet, it is safe to conclude that this deal is even worse than the one it aimed to "improve" - namely, the uranium transfer deal that Iran first agreed to and then rejected last autumn.
The Hungarian Jewish Congress (HJC) has issued a desperate appeal to the mainstream political parties, asking them to prevent the new, extreme-Rightist deputies from turning the parliament into a theatre of antisemitic demonstrations.
White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel is in discussions with his family about whether to hold the barmitzvah of his son Zack in Israel next week after he received threats from right-wing extremists.
Mr Emanuel had told a conference in Washington last year that he was going to arrange the barmitzvah by the Western Wall in late May. Israel's Foreign Ministry received an enquiry in January from Mr Emanuel's office about the logistics.

An artist who enjoys painting images of businesses, parks and other buildings in Zanesville is Zaap's artist of the month.
Mary Ann Bucci's work will be featured as part of March's first Friday. Bucci's been painting her entire life, but started sharing it with the public after her kids went to college.
Many pieces will be for sale Friday and will be available in affordable print versions. An exciting part of this display is a lot of new work.
"I am about a lot of variety. If someone says have you painted this yet I may do it right away so it is a big variety. There are some new things that are fruits and vegetables," said Bucci.
Bucci used her talent to explore other avenues. She is often inspired by the grandchildren she baby sits so when asked to illustrate a children's book called Bailey Bunny and the Fear Monster she said Yes.
"I have enjoyed so much doing it and now we both are thrilled that the community is real excited about it," said Bucci.
Bucci is proud the book and the bunny stuffed animal will be made in the USA.

Positive Thoughts
3 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1152118 on Mar 02, 2008
Well I ordered these because I had read other people reviews about how good they are. Unfortunately I don't think they are very good as I have not noticed much difference even though I have been taking them for about three weeks. I'll keep taking them as maybe I am one of those people who need to take them for a much longer time before they start to feel the benefits.
Long-term use---I rate this A++

I'm female. I don't have severe depression, but I was on antidepressants because I suffer from PMDD pretty badly. I grew tired of taking perscription meds, so I decided to switch to St Johns wort. This is an excellent combination--while it doesn't completley rid me of my PMDD mood swings, it absolutley takes the edge off. I've taken it for three months now, and I absolutley recommend it. Additional bonus: Taken at night before bed, it aids in a wonderfully calm sleep.

Posted by 5650952479362224732 on May 20, 2013
I take all three of these at night because it was making me really sleepy during the day. I didn t realize how good it worked until I ran out of it one time and went almost a week with no sleep before I figured out it was the Positive Thoughts that was missing. I hurried up and ordered some (Iherb ships very quickly!) and it worked the first night I took it, Big Difference! So now I never run out of it and if I forget to take it, I don t sleep right and wake up at 2:00 am and that s my sleep for the night. When I analyze later what I took and didn t take, the Positive Thoughts is always the missing ingredient.
Great Product

The rats are back
Cincinnati Ballet's clever and delicious production of "The Nutcracker" returns to Anchorage with help from a throng of local dancers and accompanied by a live orchestra. Join the Nutcracker Prince as he battles the nasty Mouse King and travels to the land of sweets and flowers. Six shows this weekend in Atwood Concert Hall, at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 1 and 5:30 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are available at centertix.net.
Tesseracts do exist
Friday marks the 95th anniversary of the birth of Madeleine L'Engle, author of "A Wrinkle in Time." A staged version of the popular book opens at Cyrano's, 413 D St., on the very same day, a benefit for the Girl Scouts of Alaska. (Badges can be earned by Scouts showing up for the performance in uniform.) The production will take place a 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday through Dec. 22, with tickets available at centertix.net. Also in honor of L'Engle's birthday, Barnes & Noble will hold a birthday bash from noon to 2 p.m. Friday, with actors in costume available for photos. Mention Cyrano's with a purchase at the store that day and the theater company will get a percentage of the sale.
Meditative moods
We're not sure how to describe what we heard at the Kurva Choir's website, kirtan.bandcamp.com. Minimalist? Improvisatory? Mellowissimo? The trio of low strings and voices describes itself as intimate chamber music "based on the principle of intense listening and radical intimacy through music ... exploring closeness through sounds and a strong ethic of spontaneous collective creativity." If you're intrigued by what you hear at the website -- or just want to risk expanding your mind -- the trio is touring Alaska, including performances at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Sheldon Community Arts Hangar in Talkeetna; at Turnagain Arts, 4105 E. Turnagain Blvd. at 7 p.m. Wednesday; and at Chair 5 Restaurant in Girdwood on Thursday (time not available at deadline).
Power hikes
Alaska adventurer and wilderness traveler Dick Griffith will discuss his epic treks with Kaylene Johnson, his collaborator on the book "Canyons and Ice: The Wilderness Travels of Dick Griffith" at 5 p.m. Monday at the UAA Campus Bookstore. Griffith has made stupendous journeys around Alaska, Canada, Mexico and the American West for more than 50 years. Free parking is available in the South Lot, West Campus Central Lot (behind Rasmuson Hall) and Sports Lot.

The chopping down of Papua New Guinea's rainforests is happening much more quickly than previously thought, driven by Asia's insatiable demand for timber and one of the world's fastest growing populations.
Satellite imagery has revealed destruction on such a large scale that within 12 years most of the accessible forest in the south-east Asian nation will be destroyed or degraded, a study said.
Logging companies have been operating in the country for years but the exact extent of their encroachment on virgin forests was unknown.
Satellite monitoring now shows that the rate of deforestation is comparable to that in the Amazon and in the Congo Basin, said scientists from the University of Papua New Guinea and the Australian National University.
"The bad news is that it was previously thought that PNG had a very low or non-existent rate of deforestation and degradation," said Phil Shearman, director of the University of Papua New Guinea's Remote Sensing Centre.
"Our study is making it reasonably clear that's not the case - indeed PNG is losing its rainforest at rates comparable to that of the Congo and to that of the Amazon.
"Government officials may claim that they wish rich countries to pay them for conserving their forests, but if they are allowing multinational timber companies to take everything that's accessible, all that will be left will be lands that are physically inaccessible to exploitation and would never have been logged anyway."
Papua New Guinea's tropical rainforest - the world's third largest - is not only being logged by timber firms but also cleared for subsistence farming, in a country of 6m people with one of the highest population growth rates in the world.
In 1972, the former British colony's rainforests covered 94m acres, or 82 per cent of the country, satellite monitoring showed.
By 2002, that had fallen to 81m acres, or 71 per cent of the country's land mass.
At the current rate of deforestation, 83 per cent of accessible forest and 53 per cent of the country's total forests will be destroyed or severely damaged by 2021.
"So there's a much shorter time frame than anyone has previously realised," said Julian Ash, from the Australian National University, a co-author of the report.
The country's minister for forests, Belden Namah, said economic development had taken precedence over conservation and the report was a wake-up call.
"Over the past decades we have imagined that our forests are limitless.
"If this report is the bitter pill that we need to swallow to ensure that we maintain our forests into the forseeable future, so be it.
"If in 50 years, PNG is left only with scraps of forest inside national parks, then we have all failed."

There have been two types of reactions by the religious corner in Pakistan after Pervaiz Rasheed comments regarding religious schools . A very small group is playing victim that they get blamed for everything; majority of Islamic parties are calling him infidel and so wants to punish him appropriately which in simple term means death sentence.
As always none of them have tried to objectively dismiss his comments by citing some examples. May be because they have never been able to set any example e.g. an institute that welcomes all schools of thoughts and actively holds an open discussion in public on sensitive issues and challenges faced by Muslims and Pakistanis.
The other day I heard a teary-eyed maulvi telling his followers an incidence highlighting greatness of Imam Abu Hanifah and in the end praising him for his teachings. Had Imam sahab been alive today, same maulvi would have demanded death sentence for him because of his teachings on blasphemy in Islam.
Rest assured the reaction that has followed Pervaiz Rasheed comments proves him right. The only way these maulvis have learnt in Pakistan is to preach by inculcating fear. And it is this fear that stops us from raising our voice and to even ask fundamental questions.
