The Washington State Department of Transportation has proposed spending up to $20 million to save the century-old Western Building from demolition during construction of the Highway 99 tunnel.
The Washington State Department of Transportation (DOT) has proposed spending up to $20 million to save the century-old Western Building from demolition during construction of the Highway 99 tunnel.
The converted warehouse is a work space for about 100 artists, and it is visited by hundreds of people during "First Thursday" art tours in Seattle's Pioneer Square district, including this week.
Last year, state engineers and private-industry construction executives said they would demolish the building, which would not survive the vibrations that a giant tunneling machine would cause below. The DOT estimated it would cost $29 million to $35 million to upgrade the warehouse to modern codes.
But many people and groups, including historic-preservation agencies, spoke in favor of preserving the Western, causing DOT program administrator Ron Paananen to take another look.

- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies

So instead of razing it, the tunnel team would add pilings to fortify the foundations, add temporary cables, inject grout into the soil and build a steel frame around the perimeter, to gird it against vibration damage. Much of the building has bowed or sunk over decades, while cracks up to 8 inches appear in some beams.
Artists still would be evicted next year. Later, the Western could be reused as art studios, or by some other tenants, after the 12 months of construction below. It would not survive a major earthquake without a large additional investment, said Rick Conte, senior engineer with consulting firm Parsons Brinckerhoff.
If highway officials continued to demand its demolition, approval for the tunnel's environmental-impact statement — due in August for a late-summer groundbreaking — might be delayed, he said. The DOT is required to minimize or compensate for damage to historical resources, among other impacts.
"There was a potential we could be delayed, and schedule was very important at this point," Paananen said. "There was definitely a cost risk side to us." He said the agency is "trying to do the right thing. Clearly, people thought there was a better path."
The $15 million to $20 million cost would come out of the right-of-way section of the $3.1 billion budget for an Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement corridor from Sodo to South Lake Union.

Somebody Has To Root For Macbeth
Talk about playing against type: It appears that Joe Dowling, the popular artistic director of the Guthrie Theater, has cast himself in the surprising role of Significant Republican Donor. On September 8, 2003, according to the website opensecrets.org, Dowling gave the legal maximum--$2,000--to the reelection campaign of George W. Bush.
Are we to believe that this Irish national opposes gay marriage and backs the war in Iraq? Or that he was showing some appreciation for the tax break on his $350,970 annual salary? Or, given his knack for recruiting out-of-town talent, could the director have been angling to cast Arnold Schwarzenegger in a small but ethnically appropriate role in The Diary of Anne Frank?
We can't know for certain because Dowling, who has aided the Guthrie immeasurably through his willingness to talk to any group, anywhere, anytime, declined to discuss his political donations. While not speaking directly to Dowling's situation, however, Sheila Smith, executive director of the lobbying group Minnesota Citizens for the Arts, offers a certain rationale. "If you want to accomplish anything at the legislature," Smith explains, "the goal is to have as many supporters of your issue as possible. And in our society today, we're so divided that if you want to accomplish anything at all, you need to make friends on both sides of the aisle."
Those who enjoy the comedy of our state legislature will recall that last year the Guthrie received a $25 million state subsidy for the building of a $125 million theater complex on the Mississippi riverfront. It's nearly impossible to fathom this project having succeeded without the advocacy of the Guthrie's leader. This is truly the House that Joe Built.
Dowling's personal politicking, then, would seem a natural extension of the theater's $150,905 lobbying effort in the 2002-2003 fiscal year. (Dowling is said to have made numerous smaller donations to statewide candidates. Records also show a $250 gift to Democratic Congressman Martin Sabo, a $500 gift to the last living giant of the old-guard DFL, Walter Mondale, and $500 to a DNC presidential fundraising committee.)
Smith speaks at length about "civic engagement" and the "nonpartisan" status of the arts. Yet philistines may wonder how this kind of strategic giving differs from the "participation" practiced by corporate giants like Cargill or IBM. "The lobbying we are doing is on behalf of artists and arts and nonprofits in Minnesota," Smith says. "And nonprofits are owned by the public. So, unlike IBM, we're not lobbying for a company and for ourselves. We're lobbying for the people of Minnesota."
Though Dowling prefers to lobby from backstage, he did deliver a dramatic final act to this election mystery. On June 30 of this year, Dowling's representative called back to say, the director wrote out another check for $2,000...to the campaign of John F. Kerry.

Mount St. Helens still producing loads of lava
SEATTLE - For more than a year, Mount St. Helens has been oozing lava into its crater at the rate of roughly 10 cubic yards - a large dump-truck load - every three seconds.
With the sticky molten rock comes a steady drumfire of small earthquakes.
The movement of lava up through the southwest Washington volcano is "like a sticky piston trying to rise in a rusty cylinder," U.S. Geological Survey geologist Dave Sherrod said by phone from the agency's Cascades Volcano Observatory in Vancouver, Wash.
"These quakes are very small - we think they're associated with that sticking and slipping as the ground is deformed and relaxes," he said.
The mountain is about 50 miles north of Vancouver and 100 miles south of Seattle.
St. Helens' violent May 18, 1980, eruption blasted 3.7 billion cubic yards of ash and debris off the top of the mountain. A torrent of scalding mud poured down the north fork of the Toutle River. Fifty-seven people died in the blast, which left a gaping crater in place of the perfect, snow-clad cone that had marked the original 9,677-foot peak known as America's Mount Fuji.
St. Helens - now 8,325 feet - rumbled for six more years, extruding 97 million cubic yards of lava onto the crater floor in a series of 22 eruptions that built an 876-foot dome. The volcano fell silent in 1986.
Then in September 2004, the drumfire of low-level quakes began. In the past 15 months, the mountain has squeezed out about 102 million cubic yards of lava.
Winter weather has prevented aerial monitoring of the crater since Oct. 24, "but we know what the rate has been. It's been relentless," Sherrod said, noting geologists can also rely on a network of remote monitoring equipment to tell them what's happening.
"One view of this eruption is that we're at the end of the eruption that began in 1980," he added. "If it hadn't been so cataclysmic ... it might instead have gone through 30 or 40 years of dome building and small explosions."
All the recent activity has remained within the crater, though scientists - keenly aware of the potential damage that silica-laced ash can pose to jet engines - monitor St. Helens closely for plumes of smoke and ash that can go as high as 30,000 feet.
"We haven't had that kind of plume since March 8, which is either a blessing or it leads us into complacency," Sherrod said. "We avoid complacency," he added quickly.
It's not entirely clear where the lava is coming from. If the mountain were generating the lava, scientists would expect to see changes in the mountain's shape, its sides compressing as lava is spewed.
At the current rate of extrusion, "three or four months would have been enough time to exhaust what was standing in the conduit. ... The volume is greater than anything that could be standing in a narrow 3-mile pipe," Sherrod said.
That suggests resupply from greater depths, which normally would generate certain gases and deep earthquakes. Neither is being detected.
"That's one of the head-scratchers, I guess," Sherrod said.

AS usual an excellent performance by the LACO. The second half of the concert featured an American premier of an orchestration of a Brahms trio. I was really impressed. My only complaint was that the piece was too long, by about 15 minutes and some judicious editing will make this a standard piece.
Mozart: Symphony No. 33 in B-flat major
Mozart: Bassoon Concerto in B-flat major
Brahms/Swensen: Sinfonia in B (original 1854 version of Trio, Op. 8)
Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra
Joseph Swensen, conductor
Kenneth Munday, bassoon
Recapture the exuberance of youth with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra: Mozart composed his Symphony No. 33 at the age of 24 and the charming Bassoon Concerto when he was just 18! Kenneth Munday, principal bassoonist for the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, will perform this concerto. Joseph Swensen will guest conduct Sinfonia in B, his arrangement for chamber orchestra of the Brahms Piano Trio. Swensen notes that his orchestration reflects the romantic and surprisingly radical mentality of 21-year-old original composer Brahms.
Arrive early for a concert prelude one hour before the concert to hear the stories behind the music with guest conductor Joseph Swensen.
About the Ticket Supplier: Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra

Center for Industrial Progress (CIP)
The Central for Industrial Progress is a "for profit" think tank founded by Alex Epstein, also a blogger at Master Resource (the "Free Market Energy Blog") and a past fellow of the Ayn Rand Institute. Epstein is the author of The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, a book that suggests the overall impact of using fossil fuels is to make the world a far better place. [7]
The CIP's mission is to "inspire Americans to embrace industrial progress as a cultural ideal." CIP summarizes their philosophy on their website: [1]
"At the Center for Industrial Progress (CIP), we celebrate man's impact on nature, just as our ancestors celebrated Americans' ability to 'tame a continent.' We celebrate the never-ending project of the industrial revolution: to harness more and more energy to feed machines that do more and more work to make our lives better and better."
"… As for pollution, so long as we embrace policies that protect property rights, including air and water rights, we protect industrial development and protect individuals from pollution. By contrast, 'green' policies do not improve the human environment, but sacrifice it to the non-human–just ask anyone trying to build an industrial project today."
The CIP regularly publishes articles "debunking" environmentalism, and promoting the oil and coal industries, as well as some of their common talking points. For example, Alex Epstein has said that "we should think of coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear, as clean energy." [2]
Stance on Climate Change
"The movement to convince the public of catastrophic global warming is fundamentally unscientific. Its leaders do not, as true scientists would, objectively study and relay the full evidence about what drives the climate, they fixate obsessively on CO2. They do not share how poorly understood climate drivers are; they act as if they can predict the climate with certainty. Through manipulation of government agencies, a credulous media, and many of their cloistered colleagues in academia, they have managed to take over much of the field of climatology and the vast majority of its public relations." [3]
According to an archived version of their website, the CIP is not a 501c-3 organization, because "with 501c-3 status comes an enormous amount of government invasiveness, including limitations on involvement in policy debates we want to participate in."* (emphasis added). They no longer share this information on their donations page.
CIP also contendes that "we and our supporters are best-served by a model in which we maintain the flexibility, agility, and lack of red tape to make maximum use of donors' gifts."* [4]
*The Center for Industrial Progress has since removed their website from the Internet Archive.
According to the CIP website, their mailing address is as follows: [16]
Center for Industrial Progress25592 La Mirada StLaguna Hills, CA 92653
Key People
Note: As of July, 2015, only two individuals are listed on the Center for Industrial Progress website: [6]

Eric Dennis — PhD, Senior Fellow
As of August 2012:
- Alex Epstein — President and Founder.

- Steffen Henne — Researcher.

- Mary Anne Weninger — Executive Assistant.
As of May 2012:

The Center for Industrial Progress offers "Speaking" services for corporate events and "Consulting" services for the energy industry. They describe their consulting service as being "unmatched in its ability to successfully out-message 'environmentalists' and turn their supporters into your supporters." [12], [13]
Epstein's speaking services include keynotes on topics like "The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels," "Energy Heroes," and "How to Take the Moral High Ground." He also provides workshops for "custom guidance making the moral case for fossil fuels to neutralize attackers, to turn non-supporters into supporters, and to turn supporters into champions."
October 5, 2015
Alexander Epstein planned to release his "Energy Liberation Plan" for consideration by 2016 political candidates. According to an article by Epstein in Forbes, the Energy Liberation Plan seeks to combat "backwards energy and environmental policies that are anti-development, not anti-pollution." He contends that we are "squandering the opportunity of a generation, through blind opposition to our three most potent sources of power: hydrocarbon energy (coal, oil, and gas), nuclear energy, and hydroelectric energy." [15]
Epstein concludes that "The Energy Liberation Plan is based on the timeless wisdom of our Founding Fathers, who believed that everyone has the right to produce and consume as they judge best so long as they do not violate the rights of others" (emphasis added).
Originally slated for release on October 5, 2015, the date was postponed and it is unclear when it will actually be released.
September 17, 2015
The Center for Industrial Progress's Alex Epstein wrote an article in Forbes titled "Jerry Brownout," where he criticizes California governor Jerry Brown for his opposition of fossil fuel use. According to Epstein, "it's crucial to understand just how destructive his anti-oil agenda is."
"Energy abundance is essential to climate livability—since the natural climate is inherently variable, volatile, and vicious. And oil and other fossil fuels do infinitely more to make it safer than make it more dangerous. This has been proven and documented—there has been a 98% decline in the rate of climate-related deaths since significant global CO2 emissions began. For 40 years doomsayers have hidden our ever-safer climate by conflating mild, manageable global warming, which is real, with catastrophic global warming, which is not," Epstein writes. [17]
September 1, 2015
Alex Epstein hosted Steve Milloy, publisher of Junkscience.com, on the Center for Industrial Progress's podcast titled "Power Hour" in an episode titled "Steve Milloy on the Science and Policy of Emissions." [14]
Milloy says that "Virtually every environmental policy I've seen since the early 1990s has been basically politics and not science," and discusses his believe that the EPA's attempts to clean the air are unnecessary, especially with regards to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) produced largely by automobiles and coal-fired power plants.

"Compared with the alternatives, the overall impact of using fossil fuels is to make the world a far better place. We are morally obligated to use more fossil fuels for the sake of our economy and our environment." [9]

Alex Epstein wrote a letter published on the Center for Industrial Progress' website titled, "Don't Divest, Educate—An Open Letter to American Universities."
In the letter, Epstein and several other notable climate change deniers, including Peter Ferrara, J. Scott Armstrong, Steve Goreham, S. Fred Singer, David Schnare, Richard Lindzen, and Matt Ridley, proclaim that they are "proud to stand in favor of fossil fuels." [8]
The "undersigned scientists, philosophers, energy experts, and economists" of the letter ask for a "more rigorous education on energy and environmental issues," and "are willing to debate anytime, anywhere to defend what [they] believe is right." [8]

CIP is listed as a co-sponsor of the Heartland Institute's Seventh International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC7). [5]
November 5, 2012
Alex Epstein debated leading environmentalist Bill McKibben on the issue of global warming. Epstein argues that "fossil fuels improve the planet" while McKibben presents the majority scientific view that the continued burning of fossil fuels will have a strongly negative impact on the environment. [10]
The debate was urged on by MasterResource's Robert Bradley who showed Epstein an article published by McKibben titled "Global Warming's Terrifying New Math" which Epstein now claims received "not nearly enough criticism."
Epstein has launched a website, fossilfueldebate.com where he presents his case on the issue — that "McKibben is dead wrong about fossil fuels and our environment." Epstein purports to take an "objective, scientific look" at why he believes fossil fuels have given us "the greatest environment in human history." [11]

WCWS Q&A: Arizona pitcher Taryne Mowatt
Q: When you softball career ends, what are you plans? A: I've always loved being in front of the camera. I want to be a television sideline reporter for someone like ESPN. Is that your major? Yes. It's what I've always wanted to do. You graduated this semester? Not yet. I still have another semester, but that's OK. I'm ready to go to work if someone wants to give me a job. So you want to take John Kruk's job? No. I want to do the Erin Andrews' deal. I've been pitching the idea that there should be an Erin and Taryne duo. I would give anything to meet Erin Andrews. I want to do her job. What sports would you like to cover? I want to do football, baseball and softball. I'd have to learn about basketball. Since ESPN televises every game, you could audition while you're in town. When we made it here my plan was to stop by the ESPN trucks to check out all the equipment. I went by there, it was really cool. Did you bring a resume? I don't have a resume. I collect business cards. Maybe I can just tell them what I've done and what I want to do. By Mike Baldwin

Editorial: The Politics of Southeast Asian Contemporary ArtAs indicated by the expression «the politics of» in the title, and as demonstrated by the articles in this issue, Southeast Asian contemporary art is neither a politically neutral, nor a geographically exact concept.
Re-evaluating (art-) historical ties: The politics of showing Southeast Asian art and culture in Singapore (1963-2013)However late in coming, the Singapore Art Museum (SAM) nonetheless became the first facility anywhere in Southeast Asia to collect and exhibit Southeast Asian modern and contemporary art. In fact, no other country in the region but Singapore, it seems, has expended as much effort if not resources in the consecration of a "Southeast Asian art" together with one's own.
The Aesthetics of Identities and the Difficulties of Histories: The Contemporary Chinese Southeast Asian ArtThe existence and subjectivity of Chinese Southeast Asian art are an invaluable reference not only to the political complexity and difficulty that haunted post-war Southeast Asian nation-states, but also to the cultural manipulation in the cold-war strategies and the construction of ethnic identities. These are critical links for understanding the modern history of Southeast Asia.
So we may understand one another. A TravelogueSoutheast Asia's history of cosmopolitanism, richly intermingling cultural and religious practices, social systems, hybrid artistic styles and languages, all evidence a global and inclusive outlook.
Art and Social Engagement in Yogyakarta, Indonesia: Ketjilbergerak and the Legacy of Taring PadiIn order to help the people of Sidoarjo commemorate the fourth anniversary of this disaster, Taring Padi, a political art collective from Yogyakarta, Central Java joined the people of Sidoarjo for a four-day collaborative project. Known as "Reflection in the Mud," this project focused on reviving the collective memory of the Sidoarjo community.
A Country in Transition: The Role of Art and Artists in Contemporary MyanmarThe history of contemporary art in Myanmar is a history of resistance that has not yet been written. It is a private and intimate resistance, which could not explicitly come to light in public.
Just Enough Critique: the 8th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary ArtThe bodies populating the space of the Triennial reflect less their socio-economic context than a desire to escape reality in search for a fantasy world of monsters, knights, drag queens, goddesses and other mythical or highly idealized figures.
Hospitality, Friendship, and an Emancipatory PoliticsIn a wider discussion about cosmopolitanism, hospitality and friendship are important concepts because they point to a specific type of encounter and relationship between people. Analyzing the format of artist-residency in terms of hospitality and friendship is particularly pertinent today especially when signs of cultural intolerance are evident in worldwide public opinions and attitudes.

So. Mustard yellow is my absolute favorite color so when I first saw this I knew I had to have it. The color is great! I ordered a medium because I wanted it to fit loose and a bit longer than my normal Xs/S sizes and I am happy I made that decision. The different layers are sewn together nicely and lay well (no weird alignment or clumpy issues that sometimes happens with tops like these). In my opinion, it would be a great shirt to bop around town running errands, or just a cute way to jazz up an outfit when you want to look cute and feel comfy at the same time.

The World of Paperbacks
Among new titles from OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS reference works lead the way. The first three deal with religion: Peter and Linda Murray's Oxford Dictionary of Christian Art ([pounds sterling]9.99), W. R. F. Browning's A Dictionary of the Bible ([pounds sterling]8.99) and David Farmer's Oxford Dictionary of Saints ([pounds sterling]8.99). All three are examples of great learning condensed into an accessible form. The next two volumes are concerned with history: Jan Palmowski's Oxford Dictionary of Contemporary World History ([pounds sterling]9.99), with over 2,500 entries, and John Cannon's Oxford Dictionary of British History ([pounds sterling]9.99) with some 3,600 entries: each is an example of multum in parvo and each is a welcome addition to anyone's library. The final reference work is The Oxford Dictionary of Word Histories ([pounds sterling]8.99) edited by Glynnis Chantrell, a compendium of useful information about the words we use and an ideal volume for the beginner. The last new O.U.P. title is John Shepherd's highly praised, scholarly and accessible biography, George Lansbury: At the Heart of Old Labour ([pounds sterling]21.99). From Clarendon Press we have Ittai Gradel's Emperor Worship and Roman Religion ([pounds sterling]21.99), a well argued analysis that will enrich our understanding of Roman life and shape our knowledge of Roman religion for generations.
PIMLICO has brought out the concluding volume of John Campbell's Margaret Thatcher Volume Two: The Iron Lady ([pounds sterling]9.99) which covers her time as Prime Minister, her ignoble loss of power and her time afterwards with objectivity and balance. Also from Pimlico we have: Ruth Dudley Edwards' Newspapermen: Hugh Cudlipp, Cecil Harmsworth King and the Glory Days of Fleet Street ([pounds sterling]12.50), a fascinating story of two of the greatest figures in twentieth-century British journalism; Sir Roy Strong's The Arts in Britain: A History ([pounds sterling]9.99), first published in 1999; and Jeremy Lewis's enjoyable biography of the great eighteenth-century poet, novelist and travel writer, Tobias Smollett ([pounds sterling]8.99). Pimlico has also republished Rupert Christiansen's 1988 study of the Romantics as seen through individuals, Romantic Affinities: Portraits from an Age 1780-1830 ([pounds sterling]14.00).
PAN BOOKS have published the one-volume, admittedly one very large volume, abridgement by Robert Skidelsky of his three-volume biography of the twentieth century's leading economist, John Maynard Keynes 1883-1946: Economist, Philosopher, Statesman ([pounds sterling]20.00). This boiled-down version was revised and carries a new introduction yet still contains some sixty per cent of the original and thereby retains the author's balance and ability to make economics almost attractive. Other Pan titles include Norman Davies' Rising '44: 'The Battle for Warsaw' ([pounds sterling]9.99), the moving account of the uprising by Polish fighters, of the German revenge and of the Soviets' duplicitous behaviour and Andrea Stuart's Josephine: The Rose of Martinique ([pounds sterling]8.99), a biography of Napoleon's first wife. Finally we have Wars against Saddam: Taking the Hard Road to Baghdad ([pounds sterling]7.99) by the BBC reporter, John Simpson. This edition brings the story reasonably up to date with new material on Saddam's capture and a discussion on the legacy of the war for those who have to cope with its consequences.
Recent releases from PENGUIN BOOKS centre on history and biography and include: T. M. Devine's Scotland's Empire 1600-1815 ([pounds sterling]8.99) which looks at Scotland's contribution to the expansion of the Empire, something that has often been overlooked; David Carpenter's The Struggle for Mastery: The Penguin History of Britain 1066-1284 ([pounds sterling]12.99), which was highly praised in this magazine on its hardback publication; Niall Ferguson's Empire: How Britain Made the Modern World ([pounds sterling]8. …

Intel raises the bar in server chips with Nehalem
Intel's upcoming Xeon server chips incorporate significant advancements that could form the basis for future chips that could handle high-performance computing tasks, analysts said.
Intel's upcoming Xeon server chips incorporate significant advancements that could form the basis for future chips that could handle high-performance computing tasks, analysts said.
Lenovo on Tuesday became the second major PC maker to announce workstations based on Intel's upcoming quad-core Nehalem chips, which are due for release next week.
Dell plans to announce in the next few days new servers and services offerings, the company's chief executive said Tuesday.
Intel on Monday said it has frozen salaries of employees across the company, including top executives, in an effort to reduce spending and control costs.
Intel reaffirmed on Friday that it was readying new ultra-low-voltage chips, due in the second quarter, for inexpensive ultraportable laptops.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC) has ended unpaid leave for employees due to rising chip orders, the company said in a statement Friday.
GlobalFoundries, the former manufacturing arm of rival Advanced Micro Devices, needs to pay Intel for a license to manufacture x86 processors, an Intel spokesman said Tuesday.
Advanced Micro Devices agreed to an Intel offer to make public the terms of a cross-license agreement at the heart of a dispute between the two companies. But there's one condition: in return, AMD wants Intel to lift a demand that evidence submitted ...
Embattled German DRAM maker Qimonda will cease chip production by the end of March as it continues to seek ways to avoid liquidation.
Chip maker Intel on Monday sent a notice to rival Advanced Micro Devices that it violated a patent cross-licensing agreement when it spun off a manufacturing arm into a separate company.
Graphics chip vendor Nvidia spent US$43.6 million during its last fiscal year to cover warranty and product replacement claims related to graphics chips that were manufactured and sold with a weak packaging material, the company said on Friday.
Microprocessor maker Intel retained its title of world's largest chip maker last year, while rival Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) fell from the top ten, according to market researcher iSuppli.
Apple on Tuesday jumped ahead of Intel in launching the chip maker's quad-core Xeon chips, announcing two workstations that carry the upcoming processors.
Intel on Monday detailed plans to push its Atom processors into devices beyond just netbooks and mobile Internet devices.
Intel on Wednesday said it had joined Dell and other companies in an attempt to free the term 'netbook' from the clutches of PC maker Psion Teklogix.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

TSA searches in Sea-Tac Airport waiting area anger some passengers, but agency won't confirm if it's testing more aggressive searches in Seattle.
As she waited for her flight from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to Medford, Ore., last month, Linda Morrison noticed something unusual in the waiting area.
"A lady in a TSA uniform came over, put on her rubber gloves and went up and down the rows of seats, choosing bags to go through," said Morrison, a retired corporate recruiter who lives in Seattle. "She didn't identify herself, didn't give a reason for the search. She seemed to be targeting larger carry-on bags."
Morrison was stunned. She expected to be screened at the designated checkpoint area, or maybe at the gate, where the Transportation Security Administration sometimes randomly checks passengers as they board. This was different. "To me, it just felt like an illegal search performed by a police state," she said.
There's that phrase again: police state. It's being thrown about a lot more since November's pat-down/opt-out fiasco, as public anger over the TSA's new security measures remains high. Which makes the question of whether we're traveling in a police state, or something like it, worth taking seriously.

At least one other reader also reported the roaming searches described by Morrison, also in Seattle. Christine Porter says she witnessed an identical procedure on two separate occasions. "TSA now randomly appears at boarding gates to check boarding passes and IDs as well as potentially hand-search carry-on luggage," she said. "It's irritating."
Is the TSA testing a more aggressive screening procedure in Seattle? I asked the agency.
"TSA officers at airports nationwide routinely screen passengers at the gate area using a variety of methods, including physically searching bags and using explosives detection technology," said agency spokesman Greg Soule. "This additional layer of security is part of our unpredictable approach to keep passengers safe and reduce the risk of dangerous items being carried on planes."
As is often the case with TSA's answers, I can't tell whether that's a yes or a no.
I put the police-state question to an expert on repressive regimes. "It's absurd to liken the annoyances brought on by airport security to life under a police state," Washington, D.C.-based human rights activist Mariam Memarsadeghi said. "A police state is defined by perpetual fear — fear of a state apparatus that is incessantly watching over the actions of people for the sole purpose of maintaining its power over them."
The threat American air travelers face is from not the government but international terrorist networks, Memarsadeghi said.
So maybe the term "police state" isn't quite right, then.
James Morrissey, a University of Illinois biochemistry professor and a frequent air traveler, prefers "intrusive security." "TSA has become a law unto itself, and it routinely tramples the civil rights of the flying public," he says. "Unfortunately, there will always be some people who will be perfectly OK with having their rights trampled in the name of security. But allowing this to happen is very disturbing to me."
Jeff Stollman, a security and privacy consultant in Philadelphia, is irked by "security theater" that offers no real protection against terrorism. "I suspect that a lot of the current controls don't really do that much to improve security," he said.
Matthew Gast, a technology writer at a San Francisco-based publishing company, believes it's wrong no matter what it's called. "I have not taken a flight since I was forced to allow a TSA agent to put his hands down my pants," he said. "It's the only time I felt unsafe in an airport."
Supporters of the TSA's more aggressive screening measures point out that no one has to fly, and that Amtrak, Greyhound and personal vehicles are still available.
But similar security searches are now being conducted on trains and in other public areas, including random screenings of mass-transit riders in Washington, D.C., New York and Boston.
The TSA has also indicated that it wants to move the perimeter of aviation security screening beyond the airport, to checkpoints on the road, according to Chris Calabrese, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union. If these roving searches are tolerated within the terminal and are allowed to jump to the street, there's no telling what might come next. Conceivably, in the near future the TSA could set up roadblocks to randomly screen automobiles anywhere it pleases.
If so, it could prompt further outcries from the traveling public and more comparisons to a police state, say Calabrese and other privacy advocates.
Not all travelers have accepted these new procedures. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has filed a suit against the government, claiming that the TSA violated the Constitution and five federal laws when it deployed body scanners for primary screening at U.S. airports. The case is to be heard Thursday in a Washington circuit court. There are also numerous proposed laws to curb the TSA's power by either defunding the body scanners or making dissemination of scanner photos illegal.
"It's very much out of character for the U.S. to embrace this type of suspicion-less surveillance," says Marc Rotenberg, EPIC's executive director. "But instead of branding it as part of a police state, let's simply put an end to it."

College Campuses Now Are `Diversity' Mills
Williams, Walter, Insight on the News
You've written a tuition check, carted your son or daughter off to college, given last-minute admonitions and made tearful goodbyes. For those thousands of dollars, the anguish of seeing your 17- or 18-year-old pack up and leave home for the first time, and entrusting him or her to strangers, what are some of the things you might expect? One thing for sure is that your youngster will encounter and be bombarded with diversity newspeak.
"Diversity" is a big buzzword on college and university campuses. Diversity has fogged and claimed the minds of campus administrators so much so that they've created diversity fiefdoms. Harvard University Medical School has an Office for Diversity and Community Partnership. Brown University has a Diversity Institute. The University of California at Berkeley has a Diversity Committee and a diversity officer. At George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., where I teach, there's a Diversity Advisory Board and an Office for Diversity Programs and Services. At most colleges and universities, there's a diversity or multiculturalism agenda to propagandize students.
According to Merriam Webster's dictionary, "diversity" means diverseness, multifariousness, multiformity, multiplicity and variousness. The opposite of diversity is uniformity or identity. For the bulk of universities and colleges, diversity means race and sex quotas, and programs to ensure that representative forms of sexual deviancy become an accepted norm. To ensure this politically correct vision of campus life, there are forms of diversity that can't be tolerated--ideological and political diversity. In these cases, there must be uniformity and identity.
According to Karl Zinsmeister's article, "The Shame of America's One-Party Campuses," in the American Enterprise (September 2002), campus political (and hence ideological) diversity is all but absent. Zinsmeister sampled faculty political affiliation obtained from local voter-registration records at several universities. He classified faculty who registered as Democratic, Green or Working Families party members as belonging to the party of the left, and those registered as Republicans or Libertarians as members of the party of the right. …

Picking a perfect watermelon is an inexact science.
"You don't really know until you bring it home and cut it open," says Eric DeMange, who has about 25 acres of watermelon growing on his family's farms in Southern Illinois. He expects to start harvesting melons this week.
How does he decide when the time is ripe to pick them?
For his first test, he uses a criterion well-known among watermelon lovers. "When you pick them up, they have a nice yellow area on their bellies," DeMange says.
Then he performs a less orthodox test.
"I run my hand across the melon perpendicular to the stripes," he says. "It should have a little ridge that you can just barely feel."
Once the melon gets to market, he adds, people have their own tests.
"They thump and do all kinds of things," DeMange says.
For the "thump test," one commonly cited standard is that the thump should result in a sound similar to hitting a jug of water.
Then there's the belief that seedless watermelons are less sweet than seeded varieties.
Not so, says Stephanie Simek, a spokeswoman for the National Watermelon Promotion Board, which says that 86 percent of watermelons sold in the U.S. are seedless.
Seedless and seeded watermelons "have the exact same nutrient profile," Simek says. "And they're both subject to the same minimum Brix level (a measure of sweetness) if they're sold to the consumer."
That, however, is only a minimum level — 8 degrees, as measured on the Brix scale. Most consumers, Simek says, are used to watermelon sweetness corresponding to 11 to 12 degrees Brix.
Numerous academic studies confirm that sweetness is less about seeds and more about variety of melon. A taste test conducted by Purdue University found that the Brix level for five varieties of seeded watermelons ranged from 11.6 to 12.1 degrees, while 16 seedless varieties ranged from 11.3 to 12.8 degrees. A joint study by the University of Missouri and Lincoln University found Brix levels in 15 seedless watermelons ranging from 11.5 degrees to more than 18 degrees.
Unfortunately for consumers, watermelons are rarely marketed by variety, and heritage and heirloom varieties are, by their nature, not widely available. So if you're confused about how to choose the best watermelon, you're not alone. Your best bet might be to shop at farmers markets and farm stands, where the grower is often there and will cut open samples of the day's crop.
Blackened Watermelon Salad
Yield: 4 servings
Recipes by executive chef Trent Thrun of Steven Becker Fine Dining, which owns Nadoz restaurants
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
About 4 pounds watermelon, peel on
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon blackened seasoning mix
About 1 tablespoon olive oil
6 cups mixed salad greens
1/4 cup spiced or sweetened pecans, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
2 cups (about 4 ounces) sugar snap peas, blanched if desired
1/4 cup Watermelon Vinaigrette or to taste
Bring balsamic vinegar to a boil in a small pan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until liquid has reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, cut the watermelon into 12 2-inch squares 3/4 of an inch thick. Discard the rind and reserve any excess flesh for Watermelon Vinaigrette. Dust one face of each square with blackened seasoning mix. Set squares, dusted side up, on a sheet pan lined with parchment.
Coat the bottom of a large, flat-bottom saute pan with oil. Heat over high heat until pan is very hot. Working in batches, place watermelon squares, seasoned side down, in the pan and cook for about 20 seconds without moving them. The seasoned face should have an almost-black color when removed; if not, return to the heat for a few seconds. Remove carefully; avoid crushing the watermelon if using tongs. Return to tray, seasoned side up, and let cool.
Drizzle balsamic reduction evenly among four serving plates or bowls, Place watermelon, blackened side up, on balsamic reduction. In a mixing bowl, combine greens, pecans, feta and peas; toss lightly with about 1/4 cup Watermelon Vinaigrette. Arrange the mixed greens alongside the watermelon and serve.
Note: Store-bought seasoning can be used, but be sure to get a product labeled blackened or blackening seasoning as opposed to Cajun seasoning. To make the seasoning from scratch, chef Trent Thrun mixes 1 cup paprika with 2 tablespoons kosher salt, 1 tablespoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, dried mustard and dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon each of ground red (cayenne) pepper and freshly ground black pepper.
Per serving (without vinaigrette): 235 calories; 10g fat; 2g saturated fat; 5mg cholesterol; 5g protein; 32g carbohydrate; 23g sugar; 5g fiber; 290mg sodium; 70mg calcium.
Watermelon Vinaigrette
Yield: about 1 1/4 cups
1 cup peeled and seeded watermelon
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
Kosher or sea salt
3/4 cup olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Place watermelon, vinegar, honey and salt and pepper to taste in a blender; blend until smooth.
Slowly pour in olive oil through the hole in the cap, blending until emulsified. Check seasonings and adjust if necessary. If not using immediately, stir or shake in a container to recombine.
Per tablespoon: 80 calories; 8g fat; 1g saturated fat; no cholesterol; no protein; 2g carbohydrate; 1g sugar; no fiber; no sodium; no calcium.

With a 3-0 record heading into Saturday's home game with the Kansas City Wizards, the first-year Seattle team has a big bull's-eye on its back.
Those jerseys are rave green, but there's a bright red bull's-eye on them now.
That's what happens to an expansion team that starts 3-0, with no goals allowed. It's what Sounders FC faces as the team gets set to host the Kansas City Wizards tonight at 7:30.
Seattle is off to the best start by a Major League Soccer expansion team. It has scored seven goals and has won even without forward Fredy Montero and midfielder Freddie Ljungberg — arguably its two best field players — for one game each. Sounders FC has also won in perhaps the wildest atmosphere in the league, at Toronto FC.
The Wizards (1-2), who lost their first two games before defeating San Jose 2-0 last Sunday, hope to knock Sounders FC off its lofty perch.

"It would be really important for us to go 4-0," said Seattle defender Tyson Wahl, who was with the Wizards last season. "We have some tough away games coming up in the next couple of weeks with Chivas [USA] and Chicago. There's a huge target on our backs right now, especially with no goals against."
Sounders FC won without Ljungberg in Week 1. It won without Montero in Week 3. Both are expected to play tonight, and will likely start.
With both Ljungberg and Montero in the lineup, another player must leave the first 11. That could be one of three players: Steve Zakuani, an outside midfielder who scored last week in his first MLS start; Brad Evans, who plays the same center midfield position as Ljungberg; or defender James Riley, which would move one of the midfielders to the back line.
"For me it's just a case of playing and playing, and hoping you're on the team," Zakuani said. "And if you're not, then you still have to stay prepared."
Coach Sigi Schmid isn't giving the Wizards any clues about his lineup.
"We have an idea of how we're going to play," Schmid said. "Obviously if you put both Freddies on the field, it changes how some other guys have to play. It changes everybody's role a little bit. It's just a matter of how all that mixes together.
"As long as everybody knows what their roles are and what their responsibilities are, and I think everybody is pretty clear about that," Schmid added.
Ljungberg and Zakuani believe Sounders FC has earned leaguewide respect.
"The first two games were at home, and a lot of people were saying, 'They're playing with their fans and they're winning at home,' " Zakuani said. "When we won away at Toronto … it kind of made people realize it's not a fluke.
"This team's for real. When you see three shutouts, three wins, you can't get any more perfect than that."
• Every remaining Sounders FC game will be aired on KIRO radio (97.3 FM). Last week's game was not heard because the team decided to let both the national Fox Soccer Channel and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) coverage stand alone.

Dezi's Group
Dezi is 42 years old and married with 10 children of whom 6 are girls and 4 are boys, while she cares for 5 grand-children. The loans have helped Dezi plus her other members in the group to recapitalize their businesses and this time round, Dezi would like a loan to buy more bananas for making "waragi" enough for her customers, as well as employing labour / manpower on her farm since now is the beginning of the rainy season. She is grateful for all her previous loans from Pearl Microfinance; for she is a better person now both in business and in family.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

OREGON CITY, Ore. — A 20-year-old Oregon City man who stabbed three people and bit another on a TriMet transit bus in October 2012 has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Austin Vanhagen pleaded no contest Tuesday to multiple assault counts in Clackamas County Circuit Court. The judge then imposed sentence.
Vanhagen apologized to the victims.
Police say the young man was yelling racial slurs on a bus on Oct. 2, 2012, leading to a confrontation.
Vanhagen stabbed three people, including the bus driver, Leonard James. He also bit another person. The stabbing victims were hospitalized with injuries that were serious but not life-threatening.

Watching BBC iPlayer abroad
Posted 08 April 2008 - 10:18 AM
Does anyone know if this is possible and if so what is required?
Posted 08 April 2008 - 10:58 AM
It doesn't work - it is blocked. Annoyingly it uses IP detection to guess where you are, so it can even block you if you are in the UK, but it doesn't think so.
I spent ages before an England match once using anonymous proxies to connect to 5Live to listen, but to no avail. Treated myself to a Slingbox instead.

Click on the UK/BBC/ITV Radio information button. I think they do a free trial. We have been using them for a few months now and can thoroughly recommend the service. Much better than trying to track down elusive 'free' proxies. Money well spent so we can keep up with Doctor Who and Have I Got News For You while living in abroad!

I have one question.....there are VPN and SSH packages available with a $20 difference. I have sent messages to them asking which one I should purchase but they never respond. Which one is best just for watching BBC/ITV etc. ??
Posted 04 July 2008 - 07:40 AM
A mate of mine has recently emigrated to Canada and so that he can keep watching stuff on the iPlayer I setup Squid on one of my Linux boxes and then he creates an SSH tunnel from his PC to the box and tells his web browser to use http://localhost:8080 as the proxy server. Works like a charm.

The BBC are a commercial organisation and justifiably want people to pay for what they create outside of the UK, after all we have to pay for it when we are in the UK so why should others get it for free.....
Too right!! Its another form of illegal immigration except they're not actually coming into the country!!

As long as you have about 0.5Mbit upstream available at home and the same at the place you're trying to watch from it'll work just fine.
Only slight niggle is that there is a delay of a few seconds from when you push a button on the remote control in the Sling Player software to anything happening but that's down to the way that data is buffered.
All in all - a great product.
