Under-Pressure Peugeot's Shares Slide
By Alessandro Pasetti,
Dow Jones Banking Intelligence.
Shares in Peugeot were down more than 4% on Wednesday in the wake of reports of a possible capital increase. A big cash injection would certainly provide a much-needed buffer, but is not the answer to the French automaker's travails.
The company tapped equity capital markets in early March 2012 with a 1 billion euro capital increase priced at a 42% discount to the share price then, but that move did little to shore up Peugeot's finances and also failed to shore up its market value, which has since dropped 46%.
Structural reform is needed, including the disposal of parts supplier Faurecia SA.
On Tuesday, Faurecia appointed Michel Favre as its chief financial officer, effective September 1. Mr. Favre is a well-known name in the market, as he was previously the CFO of Rexel, but his appointment does not seem likely to move the needle short-term.
Faurecia's own stretched financial position – it carries EUR1.8 billion of net debts – weighs on Peugeot's balance sheet and it is unclear why the parent group insists on retaining control.
Exane BNP Paribas said Wednesday that while Peugeot is clearly problematic, what is clear is that a cash injection seems unlikely at the moment. "The group starts today negotiations with the unions for productivity measures; the European market seems to be stabilizing and the group holds some assets that could shore up its finances," such as Faurecia and real estate assets, the broker noted.
Peugeot is in trouble and is likely to remain under pressure for some time, regardless of any rebound in European auto sales.
Unless the company finds a permanent solution, perhaps via a merger with another European auto maker, speculation over the need for new finances will continue to emerge.

The widespread adoption of smartphones equipped with high-quality image-capturing capabilities coupled with the prevalent use of social networks have resulted in an explosive growth of social media content. People now routinely capture the scenes around them and instantly share the multimedia content with their friends over a variety of social networks. The social network functions also ensure that much of this content comes with some form of social annotations. This environment sets the stage for advances in large-scale media research. This special issue hopes to address these challenges. The articles in this issue cover identification of use cases and task design, dataset development, and basic research over existing datasets.

MONTREAL – Alex Galchenyuk's Game 3 overtime winner is another illustration that NHL greatness is often precocious.
On Thursday night in Madison Square Garden, at 20 years and 99 days, the Habs' number 27 became the youngest player in Canadiens franchise history to score in overtime when he crashed the net and cashed in on a lively rebound. Sure, the American has scored prettier goals in his life, as the puck went off his chin, his chest and then past Henrik Lundqvist, but he was still no doubt thrilled with the outcome of that game-winning play.
By scoring his second career playoff goal, Galchenyuk joined a select company of Habs past and present. Indeed, since the NHL first expanded from six to 12 teams in 1967, only eight Canadiens skaters have lit the lamp more than once in the postseason before reaching the legal drinking age in the USA. Pesky winger Claude Lemieux leads the way with ten goals en route to the 1986 Stanley Cup. Trailing Lemieux are 50-goal scorer Stephane Richer (seven), rugged forward Shayne Corson (six), Sergei Kostitsyn (three) and Mario Tremblay (three). Doug Jarvis, Brendan Gallagher and Alex Galchenyuk round out the list with two goals apiece.
Looking at regular-season scoring, one cannot help but note that the best offensive players in the NHL today have made their marks at the top level at an early age. By the age of 20, most of the best scorers in the game today were already playing, and thriving, at the NHL level. In contrast, players still developing in the minors or skating as over-agers in the CHL are far less likely to emerge at dominant scorers in the major leagues. Among those who have debuted at age 18 in the past ten seasons, Sidney Crosby leads the way with 222 points in 160 games before turning 20. He is followed by Steven Stamkos (141 points), Jeff Skinner (107), Sam Gagner (90), Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (76), Jordan Staal (70), Evander Kane (69) and 2014 rookie of the year candidate Nathan MacKinnon (63). Alex Galchenyuk, Montreal's first pick in 2012, rounds out the Elite Nine with 58 points amassed over 113 regular-season games as a teenager.
When the Canadiens' management and scouting staff decided on the former Sarnia Sting at the draft table in the summer of 2012, the group took a calculated gamble on a player who had missed all but two regular-season games in his second OHL campaign due to a serious knee injury. Still, there was one key factor supporting the selection of the speedy left-hander with the third overall pick. As a 16-year old rookie in 2010-11, Galchenyuk finished 20th in the OHL in scoring with 83 points in 68 games, a scoring pace rarely seen in pro prospects below the age of 18. According to independent research, over 72% of the scoring rate of a 17 year-old will carry over to the NHL four years later, whereas 20 year-olds will only retain 26% of his junior scoring. By this metric, we could expect Galchenyuk to tally upwards of 72 points next season, when he'll turn 21. Time will tell, but for the talented sophomore, so far so good.

New York Life's First Quarter Life Insurance Sales Surge 20%
NEW YORK, May 30, 2013—New York Life, America's largest mutual life insurer, today announced very strong first quarter gains in sales of life insurance, income annuities and mutual funds.
Continuing the positive momentum from its record results in 2012, the company's insurance sales advanced strongly with individual recurring premium life insurance sales through agents up 20 percent over the first quarter of 2012. The number of life insurance policies sold through agents rose six percent in the first quarter of 2013, indicating strong interest in protection products, with 45 percent of the company's new life insurance policies produced by agents serving the cultural markets. New York Life's cultural markets include African-American, Chinese, Hispanic, Korean, South Asian, and Vietnamese.
"Our life insurance sales have been trending higher since 2008, which speaks to the desire among American families and businesses for financial safety and security, especially when there is so much uncertainty in the economy around us. More and more, we see insurance consumers taking personal responsibility for their financial protection and doing so with the guidance of trusted professionals, led by our field force of more than 12,250 agents across the country," said Mark Pfaff, executive vice president in charge of Agency.

Sales of New York Life's mutual funds (including the company's MainStay family of funds) increased by a remarkable 24 percent over the first quarter a year ago. The company's exceptionally strong mutual fund sales are being driven by consistent investment performance from the company's investment boutiques in both income oriented and capital appreciation funds, which remain in high demand from customers.

Mother, Daughter Beaten to Death with Hammer in Queens
By Adam Janos and Pervaiz Shallwani
A Queens mother and daughter were beaten to death with a hammer early Wednesday by the mother's boyfriend, who told police that the women were "casting spells on him," authorities said.
Carlos Amarillo, 44 years old, is accused of using a hammer to bludgeon to death his girlfriend Estrella Castaneda, 56, and her daughter, Lina Castaneda, 25, in the bedrooms of their East Elmhurst home, the Queens District Attorney's office said.
"I killed them because they are witches, I want the police to kill me. I killed them with a hammer," Mr. Amarillo allegedly said when he called 911 around 12:10 a.m., the district attorney's office said.
Responding officers found the women unconscious in their bedrooms with severe head trauma, officials said. A hammer was found next to one of the bodies, and the women were pronounced dead at the scene. Lina Castaneda's seven-year-old daughter was found asleep in her bed, unharmed.
Mr. Amarillo was walking toward the street and holding a Bible when police arrived. He was taken into custody without incident and made statements to investigators that "both of the victims were witches and were performing voodoo and casting spells on him," the district attorney's office said. He was arrested and charged Wednesday with murder and weapons charges. He was awaiting arraignment and couldn't be reached for comment. No defense attorney information was available.
Arnoldo Parra, 63, Lina Castaneda's uncle, said of the victims, "They were the most amazing women." He said Mr. Amarillo only came into their lives in the past year.
Neighbors were surprised by the violence. "It's usually pretty calm," Mark Pena, 19, said of the area. "I've lived here about seven years… you know the people around you."
Neighbor Patricia Hernandez said, "I would see the older lady come and go from the house, her daughter, her granddaughter… the two adults, and the little girl, when she'd go on her way to work."

Murder on the Orient Express
by Agatha Christie
Murder on the Orient Express Part 2, Chapter 14 Summary
The Evidence of the Weapon
- Mrs. Hubbard is revived, and the three men head to her compartment. On the floor is a cheap dagger, "sham Oriental," with rust on it (2.14.17). There are no fingerprints, of course.
- The man must have slipped into Mrs. Hubbard's room, put the knife in her bag, scared her, and then fled. Right? Well… Poirot's not convinced.
- Mrs. Hubbard comes in and is freaking out. She asks to be moved, so they take her to compartment No. 12 in the adjoining coach, which is identical to the one she's in now.
- Poirot also figures out something else about the bolted door: the door appears to be bolted if it's locked from the other side. That must have been what happened. The Swedish woman must have checked the door and assumed it was locked – but it was only locked from the other side.
- Mrs. Hubbard rambles on when Poirot asks her if she visited Smyrna. No, she sailed to Stamboul and a Mr. Johnson met her there.
- Mrs. Hubbard needs some coffee. They search her bags (there's nothing else unusual there) and then head out to conduct the rest of the search.

Q&A with Mr. Green Clean: Seventh Generation's Jeffrey Hollender
Q: Why are traditional cleaners bad for the environment?
A: First, let's understand that we're talking about the environment inside your home as well as the environment outside your home. Toxic cleaners adversely affect the environment by contaminating the water or polluting the air with fumes that are dangerous to you. For example, chlorine bleach, a very common cleaner, is extremely dangerous. If you mix ammonia and chlorine, you get chloramine gas, which is extremely toxic.
Q: What's so bad about chlorine bleach?
A: If you bleach paper using chlorine you get dioxin, a deadly chemical 300,000 times more dangerous than Agent Orange. There are also many other hazards with chlorine bleach. For example, if there is chlorine in your automatic dishwashing detergent, the chlorine mixes with the food and steam and creates a gas. When the dishwasher is opened and this gas comes out, it's highly toxic. The same is true even in laundry machines but at a lower level.
Q: How do hazardous chemicals in cleaners enter the body?
A: Human skin is remarkably porous and will absorb many substances it touches into the bloodstream. We also ingest cleaner chemicals when we use these products or touch residues left on surfaces and then eat or put our hands to our mouths. Food itself is easily contaminated by cleaners used in the kitchen. And cleaner vapors and tiny droplets suspended by sprays are invariably inhaled.
Q: Can exposure to synthetic cleaners have a long-term impact?
A: We see the effects of acute exposures instantly. They're dramatic things like poisonings or burns. But chronic exposures develop over years as we regularly encounter minute amounts of chemicals. Many of these substances build up in our bodies — they don't break down or get excreted. There's a wealth of evidence that chronic exposure to them can eventually cause cancer, asthma, allergies, environmental sensitivities and endocrine disruption, which happens when chemicals mimic hormones in the body and trigger all kinds of cellular malfunctions.
Q: Do green cleaning products clean as well as traditional cleaners?
A: If they're well-engineered, absolutely. At Seventh Generation, we've spent countless lab hours developing non-toxic, biodegradable, naturally based compounds that clean just as effectively as synthetic chemicals. It takes time and investment, but powerful surfactants can be created from vegetable sources; vinegars can replace solvents; peroxide can be harnessed as a harmless bleach; and so on. There's no longer any excuse for a poor performing green cleaner. We have the technology and science to make them work perfectly.
Q: How can people tell if a cleaner is green or not?
A: Lots of products claim to be "green" but really aren't. Look for cleaners that clearly list all their ingredients and offer a statement to that effect. Honest products also provide information about the source of their ingredients. Avoid products that don't tell all or hide ingredients in categories like "surfactant" or "fragrance." Skip products with "poison," "warning" or "danger" on their labels, but don't worry too much about the term "caution" because it applies even to natural cleaners (i.e., it's not "nontoxic" since if you drink half a bottle of it you'll probably get sick). Avoid products with flammability or ventilation warnings. A lot of it is common sense. If you see suspicious ingredients, a lot of unpronounceable chemical names, etc., that's a clue that the cleaner probably isn't health- or eco-friendly.

With more women hitting the road on their own bikes, female racing champions were the inevitable next step.
That's part of the plan for Elena Myers, 16, who Saturday became the first female to win an AMA Pro Road Race in the 77 years the organization has sanctioned road racing.
"I'm in another world right now," she told the San Francisco Gate moments after winning the shortened SuperSport race in the West Coast Moto Jam at Infineon Raceway. "I can't believe it."
"The race went really good for me and some people made mistakes, and I took advantage," she said.
The Suzuki rider, who attended her high school prom two weeks ago and is about to graduate with a 4.0 GPA, started eighth in the grid of the scheduled 18-lap race for riders aged 16-21 on 600cc bikes.
With the help of a fourth place at Fontana (San Bernardino County), she entered the weekend in fourth place in points.
Tyler O'Hara of Petaluma, who finished third, called Myers' win "huge for the sport. I think Elena just broke the barrier as a woman on a motorcycle at the top level."

Knitting a complex project (lace) without a lifeline (ahem, a little arrogance will surely attract the attention of the frog gods).
And working the stitch through the back loop at the end of the every row did not work out so well either. Rather difficult to undo/redo that for me.
Ah well, there is always the opportunity for some good to come out of such mishaps and I was not too far along in the project. The resurrected project has two stitches at the end of each row worked in a stockinette stitch rather than a single stitch as the pattern calls for. This really helps to reinforce the neck. I also changed to a size 6 needle which means it is going along a lot faster. And I picked up some stronger reading glasses. It really helps to be able to see the yarn/thread.
We've been on the road for nearly two weeks, I
today while DH drove, and I made good progress. A short drive tomorrow, just over four hours, and we'll be home
(I miss my meow, meow). There are 159 stitches in the last row worked, 4 stitches are added every other row, so it is growing at a rather rapid pace. Maybe I'll have it finished by the weekend after this. Alright GG no
A girl can dream, can't she?
I'm not laughing. I'm thinking of how many times I've frogged and restarted to frog and restart to frog..... I'm glad you found the larger needles work well as it will be a faster, easier knit for you. It often surprises me that fine yarn and needles that seem too large go well together.
Cheating is an option. . . . Cheaters never win and winners never cheat, but smart knitters who want to retain an iota of sanity do, cheerfully. ~~Kory Stamper

Island of the Blue Dolphins
by Scott O'Dell
Analysis: Trivia
Brain Snacks: Tasty Tidbits of Knowledge
Island of the Blue Dolphins is based on the true story of The Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island, who lived alone for eighteen years. Unlike Karana, she returned to the island to stay with her child, not her brother. She's buried near the Santa Barbara Mission in California (source).
Scott O'Dell lived in Southern California, an area that inspired many of his books, including Island of the Blue Dolphin. He writes, "That is why, I suppose, the sound of the sea and the feel of the frontier are in my books. And why many of the people I have written about are Indians, Spaniards, and Chicanos" (source).
Scott O'Dell's was named Odell Gabriel Scott. He changed it to Scott O'Dell as an adult (source).
Scott O'Dell did not originally mean for Island of the Blue Dolphins to be a children's book. It wasn't until he showed the manuscript to a friend that he was told that kids would like it (source).
Scott O'Dell wrote a sequel to the novel called Zia, which was published in 1976. The book tells the story of Karana's young niece who is on a quest to find her aunt on the island (source).

Hangin' 10 at 6000 Feet
photography: Eric Kiel
(page 2 of 2)
With the release of Gidget, starring Sandra Dee, in 1959, American adolescents from coast to coast were exposed to Hollywood's version of the southern California beach-and-surfing lifestyle. Within months, woodies—wood-sided station wagons, the car of choice for the surf-set—began showing up everywhere. Even in places like Nebraska, gremmies (novice surfers) were driving woodies around with longboards sticking out the back. Hang the fact there weren't any waves on the Platte River: surfing was "in." (Ketchum has a few resident woodies—one, a 1957 Willys owned by local clothier and skiing legend Bobby Burns for 25 years. "It has four-wheel drive," he grins, "probably making it America's first SUV.")
Not inclined to miss a trend in the making, the music industry rushed to capture what was clearly a large potential audience. It didn't take long. Three singing brothers from Hawthorne, California, with the last name of Wilson, had added a cousin and a friend to form a singing group that was first called Kenny and the Cadets, and then Carl and the Passions, and then the Pendletones. Dennis Wilson, who surfed, thought it would be a good subject for a song, with the common vernacular giving the lyrics a certain esoteric mystique: ho-daddies, gremmies and hotdoggers, hang ten, woodies, wipeout. His brother Brian wrote "Surfin'" and then "Surfin' Safari," demos were recorded for both songs in 1961, and the name of the group soon changed to The Beach Boys. With Jan and Dean also competing for spots on the Top Ten, the surfing culture was chronicled in hit songs and sub-sequently memorialized.
As in all sports, surfing has been subject to frequent, often radical change, moving from longboards to shortboards and back, from redwood to boards made of foam.
Innovations such as multiple fins made the ride more stable, while O'Neill Company wetsuits allowed southern Californians to surf in winter, northern Californians to surf in all seasons (55-degree water being a significant detriment to the enjoyment of this sport). The ankle strap or leash tethered the board to its rider, ending the significant amount of "fetching" that had been involved when board and rider parted company and the breaking wave carried the board up onto the beach. Now everyone could more comfortably and safely be a surfer.
The 21st-century trend is toward "big wave" surfing. Time Magazine featured an article in July 2004 in which Billabong, an Australian surfing company, offered $250,000 to any surfer who rides and conquers a 100-foot wave. Such waves travel at over 40 miles per hour, so the surfer is pulled on a line by a jet-ski, catapulted to the wave's crest, where the surfer then drops into the maw as it breaks.
Sets of mammoth waves occur infrequently, so it's up to a company called Surfline, a forecast service, to let surfers around the world know, for a price, when "surf's up."
Bing Copeland remarks, grumpily, that you once had to follow the adage, "You don't know if you don't go." Now, subscribing to the forecast service can ensure that you'll know before you go—but you certainly won't be the only one. Surfline.com gets a million hits a month. "I admit," says Copeland, "I have a love-hate relationship with Surfline."
Surfing is now a 4.5-billion-dollar industry, with surfers cropping up on China Beach in Vietnam, the shorelines of Indonesia, and the long, gentle swells of South Africa (Bruce Brown found the perfect wave off Durban, South Africa, in his 1966 movie Endless Summer). For the present, it appears that the sport is in no danger of losing its momentum.
And the Wood River Valley, far from the places where people surf, continues to draw a disproportionate number of residents whose daily lives once included—still include, in many cases—riding a board and/or designing one. The myriad reasons are obvious in some cases, more subtle in others.
In the "obvious" category … surfing, skiing, and snowboarding are all gravity sports, where balance is a key ingredient. They're done in the open air, in a natural setting, by an individual instead of a team. As picnic attendee Herb Nolan, a surfer on Hawaii's big waves in the 1950s, puts it, "Ski or surf, it's all the same."
Mike McCann, a principal in the real estate firm of McCann, Daech, Fenton, recalls the Dawn Patrol on southern California beaches, where true believers paddled out to surf the "glassies"—waves that had not been blown out by the on-shore winds that arise after 10 a.m. These days, when there's fresh powder on Bald Mountain, the Dawn Patrol is out again, in this case riding skis or snowboards. One moppet in the surfing movie Step Into Liquid summed up the feeling these athletes are seeking: "It's like flying … it's not like soccer, where all the moms are on the sidelines yelling at you."
Scott Hansen, a former world-class freestyle skier, avid surfer, and Sun Valley resident, remembers sitting in class at Orange Coast College in California, "while saltwater dripped out of my nose directly onto the examination paper in front of me." Hansen started his school days riding "glassies," as did Mike Pyrzinski, a Ketchum finish carpenter who always surfed before his high school classes. Both are now part of the Dawn Patrol on Baldy.
Snowboarding easily captures the hearts of surfers and former surfers, bearing, as it does, a strong relationship to their first love: you carve a wave, and you carve a turn.
One of the first prototype snowboards was called a "Snurf" in an obvious, but perhaps not very attractive, attempt to link the two in surfers' minds. McCann, still an avid surfer, says he can tell as he glides down Baldy which snowboarders began as surfers "just by the way they hold their hands and stand on their boards."
Another reason so many surfers have relocated to the Wood River Valley is also shared by most neo-local non-surfers, and even non-skiers: "Too many people," as Fritz Watson puts it sosuccinctly. McCann's explanation is a little longer, but it amounts to the same thing: "Many southern Californians, as they saw the Los Angeles area grow into a megalopolis with the beaches packed with people shoulder-to-shoulder, said, 'Let's find a place that mirrors the way beach towns were in the '50s, '60s, and '70s.'"
For many of these expatriates, the Ketchum area seemed to be the place.
The Wood River Valley has always prided itself on a certain egalitarian sensibility. And despite a wide disparity in material wealth, there is still a recognized commonality among residents: "All responding to the same vibe," as Room+Board owner Kimberly Sesnon muses.
In Malibu, Laguna, or Manhattan Beach, the term was "laid-back"—free of pretense. In surfing's early years, posers were called "ho-daddies." Here in Ketchum/Sun Valley, as one wag puts it, "If you're in Aspen or Vail and your net worth is $50 thousand, you try to act as if you're worth $5 million. In Sun Valley, if you're worth $5 million you try to act as if you're worth $50 thousand." The local Chamber of Commerce says the same thing in a different way: "You go to Aspen to be seen. You come to Sun Valley to vacation."
In addition, there seems to be a common meritocracy of sorts, and it's based on athletic prowess—or, at least, athletic engagement. That's what the old surfers remember. Here, too, area residents are not spectators, they're participants; and the sports from which they derive pleasure are often individual. In most cases, the only one to notice a well-carved turn or a well-negotiated mountain-bike trail is the one who did the carving or the negotiating. Don Burgess, a cinematographer who splits his time between Malibu and Sun Valley, says, "The Pacific or Bald Mountain: it's an opportunity to challenge nature."
And so, surfers gathered in August at Sun Peak campground in Ketchum, comfortable in their mountain retreat, secure that what they once found elsewhere was rediscovered here. And like the ocean whose permanent yet ever-changing countenance gave them both recreation and personal satisfaction, Bald Mountain was the backdrop for their festivities—a more than acceptable surrogate.

BOSTON � Jonathan Herrera�s bloop single to right field scored Jonny Gomes from second, and the Red Sox walked off with a 3-2 victory over the Orioles in the first game of Saturday�s doubleheader.
Gomes had led� off the inning with a pinch-hit single to deep short. David Ross moved him to second with a sacrifice, and manager John Farrell elected to hit Herrera for Jackie Bradley, Jr. against lefty T.J. McFarland.
Boston emerged with a much-needed win with the help of yet another fine performance from Jon Lester.
Lester�s had more dominant days this season � a May afternoon against Oakland springs to mind. But Lester was as good as he could be on Saturday, tossing eight innings and allowing only two unearned runs.
Those runs came with two outs in the third, when Xander Bogaerts booted Steve Pearce�s ground ball. Lester actually recorded five outs that inning, as the frame opened with a rare errant throw to first on a routine ground ball.
The Orioles hardly peeped against Lester in his other seven innings. They got two on in the fifth before a comebacker and a foul out. They had one on in the eighth when Stephen Drew and Dustin Pedroia combined on one of the finest double plays of their collective middle-infield tenure: Drew sprawled up the middle to reach the Nelson Cruz grounder, flipped it quickly to Pedroia, who spun and fired to first for the final out of Lester�s afternoon.
Lester struck out seven. He didn�t walk a batter.
Before the game, manager John Farrell called Lester�s performance in 2014 �as good a year as he�s had in his career.�

Several months ago, the Los Angeles art collaborative Fallen Fruit (David Burns and Austin Young) began an artist residency at the Skirball to develop an installation for our Ruby Gallery. Fallen Fruit's community-based projects use fruit as a medium to explore social engagement, so we invited them to search our collection of Jewish artifacts for anything fruit related! After surveying a range of fine art and ritual objects featuring figs, etrogs, apples, oranges, and many other fruits, they could not take their eyes off of a seventeenth-century ketubbah that was richly decorated with fruit and animal motifs, zodiac signs, and biblical scenes.
In Hebrew ketubbah (plural, ketubbot) literally means "what is written." It is the term used for a marriage contract, a custom that originated in biblical times. In an era when women were regarded as property rather than as equals, its purpose was to protect the married woman in the event that she was divorced or widowed. It specified that she must receive a material sum, including the dowry she brought to the marriage, to assure her support and well-being. Over the centuries the ketubbah has evolved in many Jewish communities from a legal document to a symbolic expression of mutual love and respect between equal partners. Today, particularly in the United States, many couples compose their own ketubbah texts and personalize the design.
The Skirball has one of the most prominent collections of ketubbot in the world, with over 430 in the collection from countries such as Italy, Egypt, Persia, Germany, and the United States. A majority of the collection belongs to the special tradition, developed in Jewish art, of the decorated marriage contract. After the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492, the custom of illuminated ketubbot flourished in areas of Sephardi settlement such as Italy, Amsterdam, London, North Africa, and the Near East. Nearly half of the entire Skirball collection consists of ketubbot produced in Italy during the golden age of the illuminated ketubbah, from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries.
The particular ketubbah that inspired Fallen Fruit's project is from Busseto, Italy. The traditional Hebrew text was copied by the scribe in 1677, and this text was set in its beautifully crafted frame about a century later. The frame includes an inner border constructed with an intricate die-cut technique. The contract is signed by two rabbis from the Busseto community to sanction the marriage of the bridegroom, Jacob, son of Eliezer Mogil, and the bride, Dolce, daughter of the late Isaac Navarra, on March 5, 1677. Made out of parchment (animal skin), the ketubbah features five biblical episodes and twelve signs of the zodiac set in roundels. The upper edge is devoted to scenes from the story of Adam and Eve. As Eve extends her arm to pick a fruit that resembles a pomegranate, the inscription reads: "The serpent tricked me, and I ate." (Genesis 3:13). Other biblical scenes include Delilah cutting Samson's hair and Jacob's ladder. In order to put this exceptional ketubbah on display, we first had to enlist the help of a conservator who specializes in manuscript treatment. The conservator's job is to keep the piece from deteriorating and to ensure its long-term preservation.
Conserving the Busseto ketubbah required a few steps. First, there were some flaking pigments of paint that had to be fixed—a common problem for ketubbot, since they are painted on the flesh side of the parchment, which has a smooth surface that causes paint to come off over time. Small tears in the parchment also needed to be repaired by joining them with Japanese tissue fibers. For display purposes, our conservator then hinged the ketubbah to secure it to a mat.
Finally, weights were applied to assure that the treated area lay flat upon drying. Come see this glorious artifact, now on display in our core exhibition, Visions and Values: Jewish Life from Antiquity to America, and visit the art installation Fallen Fruit of the Skirball in the Ruby Gallery (located right outside the café) while you're here! We are grateful to the artists for their inspiration, which has revived this treasured example of Jewish heritage. Shopping for a ketubbah?

Catching up with Toshio Odatecomments (7) April 6th, 2011 in blogs
I didn't intend to visit Toshio Odate for an official interview as an associate editor at Fine Woodworking. My wish to visit him came out of the desire to find out more about two tools I had in my shop—a large log-ripping saw called a maebiki-oga, and a side-trimming plane I had recently picked up on eBay.
Of course, I can't hide that was more than excited to meet an author I had admired for many years, ever since I picked up a copy of his well-known "Japanese Woodworking Tools: Their tradition, Spirit, and Use." When I mentioned Odate to the manager of a local woodworking club, he said "you'd be foolish not to visit him—he's only 20 minutes away from you!" And so I called up Mr. Odate and made an appointment.
A few days later, I was pulling up his driveway on a late Connecticut afternoon. As I parked and got out, Odate came out to his back porch to meet me. I didn't bring out my wooden Japanese toolbox or the big saw just yet—I worried I'd drop the box or the saw on somebody, and even though I'm well-versed in making a fool of myself, I decided against it for the time being.
More on Japanese Tool Tech
After taking off my shoes at the entrance, Odate welcomed me to his sitting room, where an amazing collection of vintage power line insulators adorns the walls, along with other funky glassware. I met his assistant, Laure Olender, who takes photographs of all of Toshio's work. I sat down and made only the smallest of small talk—which was not necessary. I sensed in a few moments that there is no need to be anything but full-on with Toshio Odate—and that it pays to listen.
I asked about the large ripsaw, or maebiki-oga, and Odate asked me to bring it in to show him. After a few minutes looking at it, he explained to me what I was wondering about: the maebiki of that size have specially-shaped teeth, usually on the front third or half of the blade. These special teeth give purchase so the blade can dig in better as it approaches the end of its glide, where the power of the user's pull plus the blade's own inertia is least. Other Japanese saws, like the more commonly-known ryoba or dozuki, have the tooth line at an angle compared to the blade's back (or centerline, for the ryoba). This angle digs in more as the user reaches the end of the blade's length. Odate mentioned that in woodworker's slang, these teeth were sometimes called chon-gake. It was gratifying to learn this small, if somewhat esoteric, detail about my saw.
Toshio added that this kind of information is not what most woodworkers are interested in, and it is indeed esoteric—but he'd still include it if he were to write a book dedicated to the art and life of the kobiki, or sawyer. And here is where Toshio added something very important: there is something else that is not always being grasped by many woodworkers in the craft: the social responsibility of the craftsperson, be they woodworkers, musicians, photographers, doctors, or writers. Each of these persons practices a craft and in that craft they are expected to produce a result that carries with it a social responsibility. And that responsibility is where the person's skill and even artistry must be used to serve others. For example, if a joint is used to show off a person's ability to create a showy piece, but fails when it comes to joining two pieces of wood securely and efficiently, that person has failed at their responsibility to society—even if the joint "looks beautiful." But the craftsperson who makes a solid joint, that looks "good enough," does its job and holds for decades or centuries to come—that person has fulfilled the responsibility society asks of them. Even if that joint is hidden, it has the spirit of being a good joint. Odate made a comparison to comfortable and attractive undergarments—they are out of sight, but if they are strong, comfortable, warm, and last, they've done their job well, and can even bring a smile to the wearer's face (I'll admit that the comparison brought smiles to our faces at the time).
What about hobbyist and enthusiast woodworkers, I asked? If you are a hobbyist or enthusiast, Odate explained, and you are not publicly committing yourself to being a craftsperson for public hire, you don't have the weight of that social responsibility. But once you commit to making a piece for a client, or a family member, that responsibility is there, to those people. It's your job to make sure your design and your workmanship serve the needs and desires of your clients, and that the techniques and materials you use serve those ends. Anything else is superfluous, and runs the risk of being dangerous, or at best, ugly.
Wise words, from someone whose experience of over three quarters of a century has spanned an apprenticeship as a tategu-shi (sliding screen door maker), a woodworker, a teacher, and a sculptor. Odate has fulfilled responsibilities in all of these areas, and shows no sign of planning to diminish his creative output.
Toward the end of the evening, Odate shared a wonderful insight. Indicating the rich, warm patina of a tremendous plank table in his kitchen, he mentioned the idea of the "user's finish"—the fact that no piece is really complete until, 50, 100, or 300 years down the road, the thousands of users' hands handling a piece have given it the true finish, one that the maker could not give when the piece was assembled. It speaks of the present-day craftsman imbuing his or her work with their intention and sense of social responsibility, and projecting that skill and care towards the future, where further generations will be able to feel the woodworker's spirit with them still.

Even if the results are not perfect, if it is the craftsman's best effort, then they have done their duty to self. They can do no better. They can increase their skill and achieve better results, but the effort is an honest one, not one of compromise.
That same issue is reflected in a significant portion of society where "doing your best" or "doing the right thing" gets whittled down in the name of competitiveness or profit.
Posted: 4:00 pm on April 12th
Unfortunately, I was brought up durring the begining of the 'instant' age, my father wasn't a woodworker and I had no exposure to it, other than 'shop class' in school, until later in life. Now I am trying to catch up but it is really too late. We need to challenge our young people, we need to intice them into being more creative, we need to instill patience and vision in their souls.
Hopefully we will continue to find a select few to take up the banner and continue learning, and teaching, the time honored practices of the Masters so that tradition isn't lost in the 'instant' society we've become.

|Climbed car to car with JZ. Finished on the Ford Couloir rather than traverse to the the Exum. The Ford was 4th class mud. I always imagined this mountain bigger than it turned out to be. We met some nice people from the Mid-West who shared the walk back to the lower saddle.

|Route Climbed: The North Ridge variation IV,5.9 Date Climbed: August 1991
|In summer of 1991, Bill Krause and I climbed the classic North Ridge from Valhalla Canyon. We climbed the Italian Cracks variation(5.8) and above, added a 5.9 hand crack pitch and two 5.8 face climbing pitches to reach the top. Tom Turiano (local Guide) and the late Leigh Ortenburger called it "The North Ridge without the chimneys", but somehow it never made it into any of the Guide Books after Leigh died. We thought it was a great, clean climb, avoiding the wet chimneys of the regular North Ridge.
|Posted Nov 16, 2002 9:26 pm
|Route Climbed: The Complete Black Ice Couloir from Valhalla Canyon V,5.7 Date Climbed: August 1989
|In August of 1989, Bill Krause and I climbed the complete Black Ice Couloir in a day from Valhalla Canyon. This was our second attempt on the route, having been lost on the Valhalla Traverse the year before. A great climb and great company. This is another unforgetable trip. I remember meeting Jack Tackle at the Lower Saddle and swapping lies for hours..

|Route Climbed: Owen Spaulding with Variations Date Climbed: September 10, 2002
|After a weekend of early fall snow, our team of 5 climbed the Owen Spaulding in true alpine conditions. Reached the summit in the afternoon in gorgeous weather. Climbed the rock, snow, and ice with crampons and axe and threw in a few variations up alternate chimneys. My first experience climbing rock in crampons -- I discovered that it has its advantages on small flakes. This was part of the Exxum late summer alpine mountaineering seminar. Great experience and fun climbing.

|Route Climbed: Owen Spaulding Date Climbed: August 15 1998
|This was my fifth summit of The Grand. I love this mountain. Climbed both Exxum and Owen Spaulding. this mountain has something for everyone and always affords me the adventure I seek.
|Posted Oct 5, 2002 9:39 pm
|Route Climbed: Owens Spaulding Date Climbed: July 29, 2002
|Reached the summit on a beautiful, clear day. Thanks to my husband Alan, who told me I could. And to Dasch, Jeremey, and once again Alan, for pretending I was keeping up most of time. Finally, as alway, thanks to the mountain.
|Posted Sep 24, 2002 5:59 pm
|Route Climbed: Upper Exum Ridge Date Climbed: September 14, 2002
|Climbed quickly with Exum Guide Brian Prax, summited around 10:00 AM. Spent 45 minutes on the summit, not a cloud in the sky, low wind and pretty warm. Descent via Owen-Spalding was slowed by a considerable amount of snow and ice. Once we put on crampons, it really expedited things. Great climb on a great mountain!

|Route Climbed: Direct Exum Ridge (5.7, III/IV) Date Climbed: September 15, 2002
|Free-soloed the Direct Exum Ridge in under an hour. Down-climbing the Owen Spalding route in rock shoes was quite an adventure due to snow and ice. Trip report here.

|Route Climbed: Upper Exum Ridge Date Climbed: September 4, 2002
|Beautiful rock and fantastic views! We climbed in two days with Exum guides. Perfect weather on both days. The Upper Exum Ridge has sensational low 5th class climbing with great exposure.
We summitted at 11:30 after making several variations of the Exum Ridge including climbing to the top of Carman's Pinnacle on the west edge of the ridge and scaling a slightly overhanging 20 wall to re-gain the standard route below the Horse.
The descent down Owen Spaulding was unremarkable except for a couple icy chimneys and a sweet 120 foot rappel.

Started at 3am from Lupine Meadows, started climbing ~ 8 am, summitted ~ 3pm. Down and out in the afternoon/evening. Great weather, only one other party on the Exum that day.
One of the most rewarding mountain routes I've done, especially the lower portion. Great exposure, bomber rock.

Look for the cave under a boulder in the flats as a bivy before the lower saddle.
Enjoyed climbing with Bill from Iowa- Bill where are you now?
Turned into a bit of an epic helping out this father and son team from Salt Lake. Nice people but well ...
Also recommend are Irene's arete and Valhalla couloir.

Shooting Sportsman Magazine 2012 - Pheasants Over Primland
The wild game sport hunting program at our Virginia hunting resort has been developed to be totally sustainable. Sport hunting is a tool supervised by Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries wildlife biologists to control populations of certain game species. High populations of animals such as deer negatively impact the species composition of native vegetation through their selective grazing. Our local deer population is among the healthiest in the state.
Children may hunt at Primland with no minimum age, although the young hunter must have the strength and maturity to handle a gun. Usually this is around the age of ten, although Primland's safety policy requires any guest younger than 18 may only hunt with a parent or adult guardian.
For more information about our hunting programs, please download our hunting brochure and rate cards. We are an affiliate of Hunters for the Hungry.
5-Stand Clays ShootingFive-stand incorporates the best of skeet, trap and sporting clays into a field game that is fun and challenging. Each shooter attempts five targets from each of five stations for a twenty-five shot round. Five-stand is an excellent warm-up game for hunters and clay shooters since the level of difficulty can be adjusted and since it requires considerably less time than fifty and one hundred sporting clays courses.
The Highland Course was designed with both pleasure and challenge in mind.

When fiddling around trying to find a solution to one of my problems, it seems to be that .extra(tables=[]) was what I needed. I took a trip through the django documentation just to find that there were no examples, or even a description into what kind of 'string' it takes. Is it JOIN statements? Just a name of a table and/or matching columns?
Please add an example to the documentation and/or a better explanation of the string it accepts.

- Needs documentation unset
- Needs tests unset
- Patch needs improvement unset
- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
Agreed. There is an example for where, but not for tables. Adding this would be helpful.
Changed 5 years ago by jpaulett
Add example using both tables and where in Queryset.extra()
comment:2 Changed 5 years ago by jpaulett
- Cc john@… added
- Has patch set
Attached a patch to add this documentation. The example is fairly trivial (in fact, it makes more sense as a simple filter())
comment:3 Changed 5 years ago by anonymous
- Severity set to Normal
- Type set to Bug
comment:4 Changed 5 years ago by SmileyChris
- Easy pickings unset
The example follows the bad practice of embedding values in the where clause rather than in params
It'd also be better if the example was hypothetically useful.

Added a patch with params using in the where clause.
comment:7 Changed 5 years ago by krzysiumed
Is this note necessary? I can't find any useful example of using extra(where=...) - everything can be done with objects.filter. I suggest to close this ticket.
comment:8 Changed 4 years ago by jaylett
The documentation now explains what format tables should be in. I suspect that the only uses of this are fairly complex, and so the effort in explaining the context in documentation is going to outweigh the value of an actual example.
comment:9 Changed 4 years ago by timo
- Resolution set to wontfix
- Status changed from new to closed
Agreed with the last two comments, if we can't come up with a useful example here I don't see much use in adding this.

Making Globalization Fair
In your recent essay "The Overselling of Globalization," you point out some of the failures of globalization.
The main point is that a lot of the discontent with globalization in places like the United States arises from the fact that it was oversold. It was pretended that everybody would benefit, that there would only be winners, and in fact there are a lot of losers. The problem was made worse by the way we managed it. But even if it's well managed, there will be losers, and it's important to recognize that so you can design policies that respond to those problems.
You argue that today's world has a greater need for collective action to provide global public goods and that such initiatives could be funded through the sale of global natural resources. How would such a plan work?
There's a recognition that there are a lot of global public goods — like fighting against AIDS — that need to be provided globally. Now, some of that is being done informally in joint research programs through voluntary contributions. But without taxation, there would be a tendency for the underprovision of public goods nationally, and the same argument holds internationally for global public goods.
There are also a lot of global natural resources, like the oceans, that really don't belong to any country. The fish in the oceans can be thought of as a global resource. It's a resource that we are overusing, and most economists now say that we ought to sell the right to use this scarce global natural resource. So the proposal is to link these two ideas: we ought to be using market mechanisms to ensure that our global natural resources are well used; that will generate revenues, and some of those revenues can be used for financing global public goods.
You propose raising the world's money supply by issuing a global reserve currency, which would be distributed primarily to poor countries. How would this plan contribute to the stability of the global financial system?
What we argue is that not only is the system inequitable, it is also unstable. And we see that the huge deficits of the United States are giving rise to a lot of anxiety. Can the United States really continue to run these deficits? Is the dollar a currency that can be relied upon? And that uncertainty about the value of the dollar has contributed to global instability. So our idea is that you would create this global reserve currency, which would eliminate or at least reduce the reliance on the dollar.
You attribute China's success to its strategy of managed globalization — it opened its markets gradually instead of adopting the rapid liberalization policies advocated by the IMF. What advice do you offer to countries that are looking at China as a model?
Well, elements of China's policy are relevant to all developing countries, but obviously China has some distinctive characteristics. So its strategy could not be imitated precisely, but many of the things it has done provide important insights to other countries — for instance, its rural-based development strategy, where a lot of the development occurred in the rural sector so that you did not have the wrenching migration of labor that has been a problem in many developing countries. And it had industrial policies where it promoted a particular industry, just like Korea did. Not all countries can manage those kinds of industrial policies, but Brazil and many other countries can.
In your new book Fair Trade for All, you propose that all WTO members commit to providing free market access in all goods to all developing countries that are poorer and smaller than themselves. Briefly describe the benefits of this plan.
Fundamentally, everybody recognizes that one of the great problems of the 21st century is the problem of poverty in the developing countries. There's a lot of discussion about resources — more aid — but they also need more opportunities, and that's what trade does. The cost to the developed countries would be minuscule; in fact, they would benefit, because they would be able to get the goods more cheaply. Obviously there are some special interests in the United States that would suffer, but the country as a whole would actually be better off.
Versions of this have already been adopted by Europe. They have opened up their markets to the poorest countries of the world unilaterally [through the Everything But Arms initiative]. What we are proposing is to extend this so that it's not just Europe but also America and Japan, and extending it to more countries. So it's not just the very, very poorest, but some of the other low-income countries.
What kind of response has the book received in policy circles?
The book has gotten a very strong response, especially from the developing countries, but even from policymakers in more-developed countries. The book was launched at the Hong Kong ministerial meeting on trade in December, and it was very positively received. Coverage in Asia was enormous. It obviously spoke to concerns that many of these countries have.
What the book points out is that trade can be an important element in promoting development but that the development round that was begun in Doha [in 2001] is not a true development round. A lot of the discussion is focused on agriculture. We show that there's a broad agenda that goes well beyond agriculture and that would be of benefit to more countries. Eliminating [agricultural] subsidies would actually hurt some of the poorest countries, because they are food importers. We point out that, in fact, there is a broad agenda and one which is in some ways more intellectually coherent than the kind of trade position that the United States has maintained in these negotiations, where it has been trying to go so far as to claim that cotton subsidies are not trade-distorting.
One of the disappointments at Hong Kong is that while there's a broad agreement on the principle of Everything But Arms opening up markets, the United States wants to carve out exceptions so that some of the poorest countries, like Bangladesh, would not be able to export to the United States their key commodity, textiles and apparel. So what [the U.S. government says] is they can export to the United States aircraft — things that they can't produce — but things that they do produce, that are their comparative advantage, we want to restrict those. And obviously the developing countries see right through that kind of duplicity.
Can you comment on the process of multilateral trade negotiations? You make the point in the book that the system is inherently disadvantageous to developing countries because it's based on the principle of reciprocity.
One of the seminars in Hong Kong concerned the strategy of the United States and a few other countries of signing bilateral agreements, which are clearly undermining the multilateral system and are even more unfair than the multilateral system. So yes, the multilateral system is complicated and in some sense disadvantages the developing countries, but they are even more disadvantaged in the bilateral agreements. One of the points, though, that we do emphasize is that because of this inherent unbalance, it's important that trade negotiations focus on the core issues of trade and not extend into areas like intellectual property.

Product Description
Here's a translated description of the game (or at least the theme) from the publisher:
Chocolate, nuts, fruit, cream: Producing chocolates and other sweets can be wonderful -- but it's important to collect the right ingredients in order to create these small delicacies. Playing the highest valued card doesn't always win. The staff working in the kitchen of these Parisian chocolatiers are rather unusual: cockroaches, dung beetles and other crawling creatures.
Ergo, Maus au Chocolat is not the Ratatouille card game, but merely a mirror image from a parallel universe. In a post on his website, designer Knut Happel explains that the game originally involved spices in Indian markets, but that theme was a no-go for the Kosmos line. La Cookaracha was one title under consideration, but in the end the mice reigned supreme.
