Hawks and Blues fans think the Wings are turning tail on them by leaving the West now that the Wings aren't the powerhouse. When did they start paying attention? Wings eked a promise when they first moved to the West that they would be the first team to go to the East when the opportunity arose. Had this happened 10 years ago, what would they have said then?
I feel (kinda) bad for RWN not being able to see the Wings as much, but honestly it's the best thing for the team. The reduction in travel should have a measurable positive impact on their performance.

I downloaded a copy... no tellin' what all I agreed to in that license that I didn't read ;-) I'll install it on our "sandbox" server and play around with it before I get the courage to install Java agent on our production server. We're more of a postgresql shop but we do use mysql "on the side" and its always good to tweak for max performance :) ________________________________ From: Mike Harrison <cluon at geeklabs.com> To: chugalug at chugalug.org Sent: Sunday, October 27, 2013 9:42 PM Subject: [Chugalug] MySQL Tuning... With Oracle/Java MySQL Enterprise Monitor Ed and other heavy MySQL/Maria users.. Dispite that it installs Java, and therefor I probably won't run it all the time... (added some server load as well as just being Java) I've been playing with the Oracle MySQL Enterprise Monitor (and the Agents you install on each SQL server) and learned some things about MySQL tuning from it, it actually has some very informative helpful information in it. More useful instructions that the MySQL Website (which is pretty good). Summary: Works best if you install the monitoring agent on each server, and then install the monitoring server on a seperate system, The Agents connect back to the server. They even use SSL connections, you should be able to run the monitor in your office for systems in colo with some firewall rules. It recognized the multi-master slave configs and even a second MySQL instance (on strange ports) running on the servers. It gives advice about user perms/security configs as well as table cache and settings for InnoDB writes and such.. Including when doing something for a performance increase breaks ACID compliance. While it installs and uses MySQL 5.6 and Java, the Agents will work with 5.1 and above, in my case right now it's looking at two 5.1 servers on Redhat, a 5.5 server on Ubuntu and three 5.6 servers on Redhat.. across 4 systems on two physically separated networks. If you are careful, setting up multiple MySQL instances is not that hard.. Worth playing with, and going through the Oracle signup process to get a copy to evaluate. Of course.. They'd like you to pay for it for production long term use, and I'd have to say it could save you enough headaches it would be worth it. And it has awesome pretty dashboard/charts for the pointy haired types.. as well as useful screen candy for DBA/SysAdmin types. _______________________________________________ Chugalug mailing list Chugalug at chugalug.org http://chugalug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/chugalug -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Family Fun Fest 2014
Contact: Gary Bremen, 305-230-1144, x007
Biscayne National Park has announced the dates and themes for the 14th season of its popular Family Fun Fest series, along with some brand new features. The new season kicks off on Sunday, December 8, 2013 at the park's Dante Fascell Visitor Center. New this year will be Family Fun Fest Junior, a selection of simpler activities for parents with toddlers. Also new, the City of Homestead will be sponsoring free public transportation to the park on weekends aboard the new National Parks Trolley. The events are free and take place from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. on the second Sunday of every month from December through April.
Each Family Fun Fest event focuses on a particular theme highlighting some aspect of the park's diverse resources. Every month, participants receive a passport which they get punched as they complete each of five activities located on the grounds around the Dante Fascell Visitor Center near Homestead. Activities include games, science experiments, presentations and craft projects. After collecting all five punches, kids earn a specially designed button to remember the lessons learned.
The 2013-2014 schedule is:
Participants who earn all five buttons in a season are declared "Family Fun Fest Fanatics" and earn a special award in April.
In addition to 5 activity stations at each event, there will also be one activity station focusing on theme-related creative play for parents with toddlers. "The little guys will earn a button just like their older brothers and sisters, but with activities geared to their skill level," said the program's creator Yelitza Sepulveda. "Family Fun Fest Junior fills an important niche for parents looking for innovative educational opportunities for their children."
Family Fun Fest is made possible through visitor donations and the Bobby Duryea Fund at the South Florida National Parks Trust, with additional support from the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserves, a variety of other local agencies and businesses, and a host of dedicated volunteers.
The Dante Fascell Visitor Center is located at 9700 SW 328 Street, nine miles east of Homestead, Florida. Call 305-230-7275, extension 0 or visit the park's website at www.nps.gov/bisc for more information.

8 1/2 Women
Watching a Peter ("The Pillow Book") Greenaway film is like watching an episode of the Jerry Springer Show where all the guests have a college education. You just sit there and think to yourself, "Is this my universe?"
Okay, normally I wouldn't bother with this type of artsy-fartsy independent film, but since it was a Greenaway film, I knew all I had to do was survive it -- which at 126 minutes was not easy, let me tell you -- and the review would be 3/4 written since all I would have to do is describe the plot for a few paragraphs and everybody and their grandmother would think, "No way. Mr. Cranky is making it up."
Firstly, after the death of Philip Emmenthal's (John Standing) wife, his son, Storey (Matthew Delamere), convinces him to get naked (and yes, penises are visible. I have now dubbed this "Week of the Penis." Celebrate in whatever manner you deem appropriate."). Father and son stand in front of a mirror totally naked and then get into bed with each other. Later on, there's all this talk about Philip wanting to sleep with his father instead of his mother, but -- thank whatever deities may rule the universe -- this does not happen.
Instead, Storey and Philip start collecting all these women and housing them in Philip's big Genevan mansion. Since Storey works in Japan, a few of them are Japanese. However, a few of them are not, and if you ever wanted to see Amanda Plummer naked, riding a horse and bathing a huge pig, this is the film for you. I don't know if I dozed off somewhere in the movie, but I never did see the 1/2 woman show up. Fortunately or not, she's revealed in the end -- a Japanese female with no legs. What this all means, I have absolutely no clue. Nor do I care.

the print function does not work on my kubiak 2012. it's always worked in the past on kubiak 2011 and kubiak 2010 ... any idea why the page comes up with blanks on the lines instead of player names & stats?

The thing about being the boss is that you become accustomed to employees politely agreeing with everything you say. You know that privately they might think you're wrong and a jerk. But you don't care because part of the fun of being boss is knowing that what wage slaves think doesn't matter.
Of course, good form requires that you occasionally affect an attitude of caring. So, you briefly bottle up your contempt and conduct town hall meetings during which you plaster on a smile and listen impatiently while trying not to seem so. And afterward you're allowed to retreat to the welcome company of your peers where, in opulent surroundings, you can say what you really think.
It's excellent training for being a politician except for two things. In politics what you say privately tends to leak and what the proles think matters.
Article Photos
Such is the situation in which Mitt Romney finds himself after being filmed telling his cronies, "There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what ... who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what. ... These are people who pay no income tax."
Far from condemning Romney for his contempt, I commend him, because he has finally told the truth - not easy for a politician who has been pro-choice and pro-life, a conservative (excuse me, a severe conservative) and not a conservative, a supporter of bank bailouts and not a supporter of bank bailouts, a global-warming believer and not a global-warming believer, an opponent of coal ( "It kills people") and a promoter of coal, and ... well, you get the idea.
He said what he and others believe. There are makers and there are takers and, as far as the takers are concerned, forget them.
What's the difference between makers and takers? Simple. Makers pay income taxes and takers don't. So, let's talk about makers and takers and who pays for government and who doesn't.
The first thing we have to agree upon is that all levels of government count - federal, state, and local. That's because tax revenues and expenditures are heavily shared. Second, we should agree that all taxes count - Social Security, sales taxes and property taxes as well as the income tax. Third, we should acknowledge that income is income whether it's the result of a paycheck or a dividend check.
On that basis, the percent of people that pay no taxes is precisely zero.
Yes, you say, but don't people who pay income taxes pay much more than those who don't?
According to an analysis by the Citizens for Tax Justice, in 2011, the richest 1 percent of Americans whose incomes averaged $1.4 million and who commanded 21 percent of all income, paid 21.6 percent of taxes.
Sounds fair, doesn't it?
The middle fifth of taxpayers, roughly a third of whom pay no federal income tax and who had an average income of $42,000, earning 18.7 percent of all income, paid 19 percent of taxes.
Darn! Almost even again.
But, what about the bottom fifth of taxpayers, those layabouts who pay no income tax and have an average income of $13,000? They receive 3.4 percent of income and pay 2.1 percent of taxes.
That's right. They're undertaxed by a whopping 1.3 percent while the 1 percenters are overtaxed by six-tenths of one percent.
No wonder the country's so screwed up!
The truth is that America's tax burden as based on income is remarkably flat and no one avoids paying. And, if the tax burden is measured as a percent of net worth, then Mitt Romney and the 1 percenters are doing much better than the rest of us.
We all have skin in this game. And Romney's attempt to demonize 47 percent of Americans as dependent moochers is truly class warfare because it prefaces policies that would take the most from those who have the least and give it to those who already have the most.
Under the Romney/Ryan budget plan, West Virginia, the state with the most 47 percenters, would see hundreds of millions of dollars sucked from its economy, probably making us America's biggest loser.
That's why it's ironic that Romney complained that the 47 percent are enslaved to Obama. If they were, West Virginia would be the most pro-Obama state in the nation.
But, those are facts, something to which Romney has an aversion. Was he moved when a Congressional Research Service report showed that tax cuts for the wealthy do not stimulate economic growth? Is he moved by the fact that European nations that applied his economic policies are still wallowing in recession and their recoveries are far behind ours? Not a chance.
Instead,while pretending to deplore class warfare, Romney carves America into makers and takers, encouraging one class to strike another, and offers to provide the means and leadership. Meanwhile, he accuses others of wallowing in victimhood while whining, inaccurately it turns out, that he is unfairly burdened with caring for them. But then, it's always other peoples' victimhood we find disgusting. Never our own.
Romney doesn't, but hopefully we will understand that we are in this together.

"I am very relieved that Colt is now safe and that no one was hurt during his capture," Kohler, who lives in Camano Island, Wash., said in a statement issued through her lawyer.
Kohler said she has yet to speak with her 19-year-old son, who was arrested early Sunday morning in the Bahamas. "It has been over two and a half years since I have seen him, and I miss him terribly," she said. "I hope that it will be possible for me to see him sometime soon."
Moore has been on the lam since 2008 when he broke out of a juvenile detention facility in Washington state. He is alleged to have stolen cars, boats and planes since then, often without shoes – becoming a folk hero of sorts to a sizeable cult following online.
Authorities believe Moore committed as many as 100 crimes in eight states and one Canadian province.

Rated 4.1 out of 5�by 11 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Emmet Good Stuff I wasn't sure why the mat is perforated when I got it and I'm still not sure why it is but it's a solid mat. It's slippery at first but after some use it's as grippy as any other mat I've ever used. December 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Steph0612 Love it! I use this at home everyday. I love it! Highly recommend! June 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by PatrickE Solid Yoga Mat I needed something simple and non-slip that looked and felt good. That's exactly what these were. January 28, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Andy17 Great Yoga Mat This is an excellent yoga mat, particularly if you are just starting out. The perforated patterns allow air to move through the mat and helps prevent sticking. Also a nice texture to it, although I would like the material to be a bit more firm and tacky. Overall, solid yoga mat. November 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Matt You get what you pay for. I read all the reviews on this one and a couple others. There were a couple bad reviews on this one that I feel are very accurate. Do I think this mat is the best one ever made, no but I do think I totally got my money's worth out of it i.e. I got what paid for. So if u want a super nice and expensive mat, get one. If u want a nice and easily affordable matt then get this one. October 18, 2014

Although it might not seem like it, the global smartphone boom is still very much in its infancy. And, atop this game-changing trend, two players sit above the rest -- Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) and Samsung. In fact, according to some analysts, the pair took home the entire share of profits from the global smartphone market in the first quarter of this year. However, both have found themselves on the down-and-out lately -- to the chagrin of their shareholders. In this video, Fool tech and telecom analyst Andrew Tonner discusses the recent problems for the two, especially Samsung, and why this might not be quite as bad as it seems.
As Apple and Samsung learned long ago, it's incredible to think just how much of our digital and technological lives are almost entirely shaped and molded by just a handful of companies. Find out "Who Will Win the War Between the 5 Biggest Tech Stocks?" in The Motley Fool's latest free report, which details the knock-down, drag-out battle being waged by the five kings of tech.

Aflatoxin in peanut is a major problem in worldwide and development aflatoxin resistant cultivars is required. The work presented in this thesis was conducted with the specific objectives to (a) develop a HPLC technique to quantify aflatoxins in peanut, (b) understand the variation in aflatoxin production as influenced by reproductive stage (R-stage), growing environment and genotype and (c) identify physiological and biochemical factors that are responsible for the genotype's resistance or susceptibility of the production of aflatoxin.
To extract and quantify aflatoxins in peanut kernel, a rapid and cost effective technique has been developed using a UV-detection based HPLC system. The minimum detection limit of the current method is 0. 6 to 1ppb. This method was validated against two present techniques.
The experimental program was as follows. During 2001-02 three field experiments were conducted to examine genotypic variation at preharvest period. In experiment 1, two peanut genotypes were tested under mild water stress (MWS) and severe water stress (SWS) conditions. In experiment 2 and 3, ten genotypes were examined under drought conditions at two locations. In these experiments aflatoxins, RWC, pod leakage (%), pod water activity (aw). pod moisture content, sugars (glucose, fructose and sucrose) and amino acids (asparagine, trans-4-hydroxy methyl proline (MHP) and proline) were studied. Using the same ten genotypes, in experiments 4 and 5 during 2003-04, leakage of aflatoxins and aflatoxins in shells were examined. Under controlled environmental conditions (in vitro) seven genotypes that were grown under drought conditions from experiment 4 were screened for aflatoxin production.
The total aflatoxin was higher in SWS than MWS conditions but it decreased during pod filling period. In experiment 1, concentration of aflatoxins reduced from 69 to 6ppb and content from 2.3 to 1.i µg m-2 from 120 to 150 DAS. A similar pattern was also noted in experiment 2. This may be related to the fact that aflatoxins leaked out of pods and more of this occurred in mature and developing pods than juvenile pods. The decline in aflatoxins may also be related to the method of sample preparation. For analysing aflatoxins in R3-5 stage pods, shells were included with kernels, as shells were not possible to separate from kernels, whereas, in R6-8 only kernels were tested for aflatoxins. Shells were found to have higher aflatoxins compared to kernels.
The juvenile pods were more vulnerable for aflatoxin production than mature pods. A t any particular sampling date mature pods had more growth cracks but growth cracks were not apparently related to high fungal invasion. The higher pod moisture in younger pods than mature pods was associated with higher aflatoxins. The levels of sugars and amino acids were also higher in juvenile pods than in mature pods. Because of higher concentration of all sugars and amino acids in juvenile pods, they were more susceptible to Aspergillus invasion and aflatoxin production than mature pods.
There was peanut genotypic variation in aflatoxin levels in all experiments at different sampling dates. Among genotypes tested NC-7 produced higher levels of aflatoxin than Streeton in experiment 1 . Whereas in experiments 2 and 3, AX3-137 and AX2-92 produced higher aflatoxin than AX4-565. However, the coefficient of variation in these experiments was very high i.e. above 100% for total aflatoxin, suggesting there may have been large errors associated with sampling techniques and uncontrolled environmental factors, which confounded the observed genotypic differences.
Under in vitro conditions with reduced variability, genotypic differences were noted. The total aflatoxin level in peanut genotypes increased towards maturity. No genotype was completely resistant to aflatoxin production at unit substrate level. The genotypes AX4-565, Streeton and P4-3 produced higher level of total aflatoxin than other genotypes. However relationship of aflatoxins between field and in vitro studies was poor.
In conclusion, the present research established a simple and cost effective method to analyse aflatoxins. The identification of genotypic variation for aflatoxin production at field level was difficult due to the observed large sample variation in aflatoxin. Under water stress conditions due to high pod moisture content, sugars and amino acids the juvenile pods were more susceptible for aflatoxin contamination than mature pods. Data suggested that aflatoxins leaked into the soil during pre harvest period, and that the peanut shell appeared to have more aflatoxins than kernel, but these points need to be confirmed first.

Does your Host Provider offer end-to-end Managed Solutions?Most web host providers offer little or no support, and simply expect you to already have someone on staff to handle your technical needs. Other providers claim to have managed solutions - but that simply includes a few web page links with information and someone who will reboot your web server when it starts to get slow or crashes. At TurnKey Internet we take managed support to a higher level providing support on everything ranging from getting a CGI script installed, to security questions about your e-commerce site.

Google, Yahoo, MSN and other search sites actually RATE your site based on the software versions you use, and can significantly lower your page ranking score if you are using older and less secure software commonly provided by some web hosting companies.
Does your Host Provider offer expert local toll free support 24 hours a day?There is nothing worse than having to pay for support, even worse when you have to pay by the minute and realize you are talking to someone located half a world away who barely speaks your language.

Does your Host Provider disclose their network infrastructure and capacity?TurnKey Internet provides full details on our next generation network and company-owned datacenter. TurnKey Internet provides a complete Network Speed Test center for you to see just how fast our network is! Many Web Host Providers are nothing more than resellers of another company, so when you ask them to disclose their infrastructure, you can quickly see if you are dealing with a middleman or a reliable company with their own facilities. TurnKey Internet owns and operates its facilities (network, computers, infrastructure, fiber optic circuits, etc.) TurnKey Internet is not a reseller, or a sales agent for another datacenter or web hosting company.

Unlike the trend as more and more companies outsource their technical support and customer support half way across the globe, TurnKey Internet is a complete one-stop-shop providing clear, consistent expert quality service.
Does your Hosting Provider offer realistic prices?Often, the most unrealistic prices come from the smallest of providers operating out of a single location, or worse yet operating off a single shared server! The simple truth is that using an inferior web host provider will not save you money at all. You will inevitably end up paying a lot more due to down time and lost profits. TurnKey Internet offers the best value in the industry, and the lowest prices too - all backed by our redundant network and datacenter. While some companies may lure you in with unrealistic low ball offers and slogans, TurnKey Internet delivers on the promise of unbeatable service matched with outstanding value.

Merely by chance very unsuspecting
You caught my heart unprotecting me
Now I've fallen in love with you
Just when I thought I was free and easy
You came along to me soft and breezy
Now I've fallen in love with you, woo hoo
I've fallen in love with you
And for the first time in my life
I know what it's like to be a happy man, happy man
And for the first time in my life
You've given me something I can't understand, being a happy man
Be with me now, love me forever
Leaving you lady is something that I'd never do
I've fallen in love with you
All of my life it seems I have waited
Now I can say all these words I have stated are true
I've fallen in love with you, woo hoo
Fallen in love with you, woo hoo

I've already written a piece praising Jim Caldwell's nearly flawless performance this year, and I don't want to recover the same ground today, but it's time to make the case for Caldwell as the best coaching performance in 2009. Forget for a moment that the Coach of the Year award should go to the best coach. It doesn't. It goes to the coach who most often out performs expectations. That leads to some iffy winners from time to time. Past coaches of the year include: Mike Smith, Lovie Smith, Dick Jauron, Jim Haslett, Jim Fassel, Dom Capers, Ray Rhodes, Wayne Fontes, Lindy Infante (SERIOUSLY), and Jim Mora.
Jim Caldwell has excelled in every area of coaching. His team is disciplined (fewest penalties in the NFL). He's been a good in game coach. He hasn't lost a game…you know, little stuff like that. Still, barring a 16-0 record, it might not be enough. Even if Indy goes 16-0, he might not win.
This season, the prime candidates are:
Jim Caldwell, Colts:
Pros: Undefeated. Disciplined team. Has handled every hurdle. Indy has had lots of injuries and young players playing more than expected, but they've been prepared and ready to play.
"Overperform Rating": Low, but should be high. Revisionist history says, "Of course the Colts won 12 games! They always do!". But everyone forgets that many in the media had the Colts pegged for a 2nd place finish in the South and no more than 10 wins. The Colts are better than people expected, but everyone has forgotten what they expected because the expectations were stupid in the first place.
Cons: He coaches Peyton Manning. Everyone assumes Peyton runs the team anyway. There is the perception that this is really Dungy's team and he is just a caretaker. He is quiet and doesn't play 'media games'
To win: His odds are rising. He could win at 15-1 if the Saints don't go undefeated. 16-0 should do it though (one would hope). Everyone has to be satisfied with how Indy finishes.
Sean Payton, Saints:
Pros: Undefeated. He's seen as an offensive innovator. He's young, media friendly and dynamic. He's taken on the 16-0 issue with gusto (which may or may not be smart, but the media likes it). His team is considered by almost every major poll to be the best in football. He "outcoached" Belichick on Monday Night Football. The Saints are seen as a sympathetic story.
"Overperform Rating": High. The Saints were on few preseason lists as division winners let alone #1 overall seeds. The Footballoutsiders for instance had them as an 8 win team.
Cons: Everyone acknowledges that the biggest difference between the 08 and 09 Saints is their defense. Gregg Williams has brought a blitzing style that has translated into massive improvement. Payton has already won the award once.
To win: He's the odds on favorite. 16-0 would be a lock. As long as the Saints go 2-1, he should viewed as a top choice.
Marvin Lewis, Bengals:
Pros: Bengals field one of the toughest defenses in the league, and Marvin is a defensive guy. Swept the 'tough' AFC North for the first time in franchise history.
"Overperform Rating": Off the charts. The Bengals were expected to bad, mostly because they are always bad. FO had them down for 7 wins, and they already have nine and a division title in a division with defending champs Pittsburgh and AFC finalist Baltimore.
Cons: The Bengals are losing steam. They've won 2 of 4 over Detroit and Cleveland, but still have to play San Diego and the Jets. They may top out at just 10 wins. Also, I don't think most people think Lewis is a great coach.
To win: Hope the first two guys lose a game, take the 2 seed in the AFC
Brad Childress, Vikings:
Pros: Convinced Brett Favre to come to Minnesota
"Overperform Rating": Low. The Vikings are better than people thought, but they are crazy talented and won 10 games last year. Sure the Favre thing has worked, but the Vikings were picked by many to win the division. FO had them slated to win 9 games and be a playoff contender. They've been better than that, but not dramatically so.
Cons: He's a terrible game manager. He's not well respected as a coach. If he wins, it will be a referendum on his decision to bet his career on Favre.
To win: Win out, snake the 1 seed from the Saints (still possible, right?)
Jack Del Rio, Jaguars
Pros: Searching…Searching….Searching…nope. Can't think of any. Just kidding. Has taken a young roster in a city that doesn't care and has them on the brink of the playoffs. If they steal a spot, he could well be the winner.
"Overperform Rating": If they make the playoffs, off the scale. The Jags aren't a good team, and everyone knew it coming in. Ok, so the Outsiders had them down for 10 wins, but no one else did.
Cons: Jags are fading fast. They finish with Indy and New England and Cleveland on the road. They won't make the playoffs and Del Rio will quickly fade as a candidate.
To win: Make the playoffs
Josh McDaniels, Broncos
Pros: Young, Belichickian guy. Fiery with his team. Won the Jay Cutler showdown. Got Brandon Marshall in line.
"Overperform Rating": Excellent. The Broncos were expected to be bad, but they've won 8 games already. FO had them down for 5 wins.
Cons: Broncos started 6-0. They've gone just 2-5 in their last 7 games. He was the odds on favorite early, but is now just a second tier candidate.
To win: Win 11 games and the AFC West. Hope everyone else on the list stumbles.

Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Insightful, revelatory and profound, Moreh's Oscar-nominated documentary combines riveting interviews, archive footage and - yes - state-of-the-art photographic effects to offer a unique perspective on the Israel-Palestine issue.
If vigilance and preemption, recompense and retaliation is not enough, the film asks, then what is?
It's about spycraft, but it goes to the source. If for no other reason, it deserves to be seen for arranging decades of events in the Middle East into a chronology that, to an outsider, makes dreadful sense.
There are many films that rail against the inherent injustices of any given power structure. Much rarer are the documentaries like The Gatekeepers which expose that the faithful stewards of a certain foreign policy no longer believe in said policy. This is an important film, showing the constant reaction and counter-reaction of each side.
This is a great and necessary document in support of a two-state solution. Even those who don't believe in such a solution may find their minds changed by The Gatekeepers.
The Gatekeepers has a cold air to it: washed-out colors, tan ominous soundtrack, eerily floating satellite footage… The most chilling aspect, however, is the blunt commentary about the work itself.
For a film that consists largely of a series of talking-head interviews, The Gatekeepers is a riveting a documentary.
The film, by seasoned cinematographer Dror Moreh, is a feat — of access and of passionate and appropriately unsettling political commentary.
The Israeli journalist Dror Moreh has hit a documentarian's trifecta with The Gatekeepers. It's an exemplary piece of enterprise journalism, a vivid history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and a polemic that's all the more remarkable for the shared experience of the polemicists.
This is one hot, provocative, revelatory and astonishing documentary, one sure to provoke enthralled interest and controversy wherever it is shown worldwide.
While no film from the narrow perspective of Israeli intelligence could purport to offer a thorough view of the conflict, what makes The Gatekeepers ultimately so compelling is its pervasive sense of moral ambiguity.
The pessimism pervading this film is summed up by Shalom, who says, speaking of the decades of occupation: "The future is very dark."
The six men have different personalities that suggest varying styles of leadership, but what's remarkable about The Gatekeepers is how they speak in one voice about the moral complexities of their former jobs and their extreme pessimism about the future.
Using the interviews along with news footage and occasional re-enactments, Moreh conducts a kind of primer in the organization's history, which is, in its own way, a history of modern Israel. It's fascinating.
The existence of The Gatekeepers is its own chief statement. You don't get the sense that it's any easier for these men to question Israel's leadership from the safety of retirement.
Although The Gatekeepers lacks the stylistic inventiveness of "Fog," it is nonetheless a compelling account of what can go wrong when power is unrestrained.
Using archival footage, inventive animated recreations of incidents and chilling aerial smart-bomb views of air strikes as they happen, Moreh creates a simple yet elegantly damning film.
The filmmaker doesn't speculate about why these men are talking, but he leaves you with an excellent guess.
You'll be arguing with your friends about the ethics of secrecy and defense for hours; that's what makes these exit interviews so essential. They come late to the spy game, but are welcome regardless.
The Gatekeepers doesn't play like agitprop. The storytelling is strong, the images stark. The camera roams among multiple monitors showing multiple satellite views while an ambient score works on your nerves.
If you need reassurance or grounds for optimism about the Middle East, you will not find it here. What you will find is rare, welcome and almost unbearable clarity.
As a political testament, the result is revealing and important. Yet as a documentary, it wanders here, there and everywhere – long on intensity but short on focus.
Until this film, these Shin Bet directors had never consented to an interview. Now that they've spoken - and have said the unexpected - we can only wonder if their words will have an influence.
Even when the so-called Gatekeepers offer up damning testimony against their organization, there's no real threat that they'll ever be held accountable for it.
A fascinating and informative, if sometimes stodgy, documentary about the most secret wing of Israel's anti-espionage unit.

CLEVELAND -- The Detroit Tigers said they were focused on a defense-first shortstop after they lost Jose Iglesias -- most likely for the entire season -- during spring training.
That's exactly what they have. But even though their shortstops are hitting under .200 this season, the Tigers apparently didn't pursue free agent Stephen Drew, who signed Tuesday afternoon with the Boston Red Sox.
"I know it's been talked about a lot," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said Tuesday in response to a generic question about Drew and his team's shortstop situation. "But it really hasn't been discussed internally."
It seemed logical that the Tigers would focus on defense first at shortstop since that's what they had with Iglesias, a stellar defender who very likely overachieved at the plate in 2013. Iglesias hit .303 with a .735 OPS in 109 games for the Red Sox and Tigers in 2013, but he also hit .257 with a .622 OPS in six minor league seasons.
Of course, .257 and .622 would be major improvements over the production the Tigers are currently getting out of the shortstop position. Heading into the game Tuesday night, Tigers shortstops have hit a combined .189 with nine RBIs and a .470 OPS.
Andrew Romine has started the majority of the games at shortstop for the Tigers. He is a very good defender, but his offensive numbers have fallen off drastically in recent weeks. Romine was hitting .250 after a 3-for-5 performance May 4 against the Kansas City Royals but has seen his average fall all the way to .179 since.
Romine is 2 for 30 with two singles and 11 strikeouts since May 4.
"He's very good defensively," Ausmus said. "I think he's not been swinging the bat the way he would like to right now, but he's definitely a better hitter than what he's showing."
Danny Worth is hitting .250 with a .616 OPS, but his sample size is rather small. Worth has just 24 at-bats this season. His career numbers are much better against left-handers (.282 average, .699 OPS) than they are against right-handers (.206 average, .537 OPS). It's possible that Worth will see more playing time, especially when the Tigers face a left-hander, as long as Romine continues to slump.
Ausmus, who said he has been "very satisfied" with the play of his shortstops this season, said offensive numbers play a role in which shortstop he starts on a daily basis, but it isn't the only thing he takes into account.
"It does factor in somewhat," Ausmus said. "You have to take it into account. But when you have a defender like that or bring in a defensive position, there's a little more slack cut."
Drew has hit .264 with a .764 OPS in his eight-year career, but he hasn't hit better than .253 since 2010. Drew is a left-handed hitter, which the Tigers are short on, and has solid career numbers against right-handed pitching (.275 average, .795 OPS).

International Protection of Intellectual Property: An Empirical Investigation

In this paper, we test the empirical implications of Grossman and Lai's (2004) game-theoretic model of international patent protection. The model yields clear predictions of the variation in degrees of patent protection across countries based on the market sizes and levels of innovative capability of the countries. To take into account the interdependence in the determination of strengths of patent protection between countries, we adopt the spatial econometrics approach. We find that the pattern of patent protection around the globe was broadly consistent with the predictions of the model before the implementation of the TRIPS agreement in 1995.

No, just a misdemeanor.
It took them six months to make up their minds, but authorities in Fishkill, N.Y., have come out firmly against tossing teenagers from concert stages.
Hip-hop star Akon now faces criminal charges stemming from his June concert in upstate New York in which he hoisted a teenage boy onto his shoulders and threw him into the crowd, the Associated Press reports. A woman at the concert claims she got a concussion when the boy landed on her.
Akon is scheduled to appear in Fishkill Town Court on Monday to be arraigned on charges of endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree harassment.
Video from the incident shows Akon speaking about Africa when an object flies past his head. He asks the crowd to identify the person who threw it and directs a security guard to bring him to the stage, saying, "You made a big mistake brother," whereupon he lifts the teenager and throws him back into the crowd.

While her ex Joel Madden preps for a new baby with Nicole Richie, singer Hilary Duff is delaying her own plans to start a family.
"I'm definitely not ready to get married," Duff, 20, tells Cosmopolitan in its January issue. "I think a reason that people in this business get married young is that they feel like everything comes to them sooner in life. It's normal to be like, 'Okay, what's next?' "
Having famously dated Good Charlotte musician Madden for 18 months – before they broke up in November 2006 – Duff is currently dating NHL player Mike Comrie.
On the heels of this week's Jennifer Love Hewitt controversy about body image, Duff said that, as a scrutinized starlet, she has fretted about her weight.
"You lose some happiness when that's all you think about," Duff says. "There definitely was a time, about a year and a half ago, when I was pretty obsessed with my body and my weight, but I'm better not stressing about my body all the time."
She adds, "It's not attractive when girls get super-skinny. Guys don't like it. Girls don't like you as much."
Next year, Duff will be tackling her first serious movie role, in War, Inc., costarring John Cusack. This year she spent promoting her latest CD, Dignity, which hit stores in April.

PARIS — Total, France's largest oil company, is selling a 20% stake in a Nigerian offshore oilfield to China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec) for about $2.5bn as part of an asset-disposal programme.
Total said on Monday it had signed a deal to sell the stake in the OML 138 block, which produces 130,000 barrels a day of oil equivalent and contains the Usan field, which started production in February.
The asset accounts for about 10% of Total's Nigerian production, which averaged 287,000 barrels a day last year.
The French group said in September that it planned to sell assets worth between $15bn and $20bn through to 2014 as part of a bolder approach to managing its business, which has seen it buy and sell assets more frequently.
China's state-backed energy companies are seeking new oil and gas reserves abroad to feed the world's second-largest economy, especially from regions such as Africa where government scrutiny is lighter than in North America or Europe.
Nigeria is Africa's largest crude oil exporter and oil companies operating there have long had to deal with attacks on their pipelines and staff, with the country's worst floods in 50 years seriously affecting their output.
Total CE Christophe de Margerie said earlier this month the group did not intend to disengage from Nigeria altogether.
"It doesn't mean we are scared and intend to start some kind of walking out of Nigeria. Total is happy to develop its projects in Nigeria."

Marching on empty slogans?
08 June 2005
by Julian Baggini
I recently spotted Bob Geldof and Richard Curtis in the swanky surroundings of London's Landmark hotel. They were probably discussing how to solve the problems of poverty, while running up a drinks bill that could have fed a family in the Sudan for months. But while it's easy to sneer at celebrity philanthropy, at least Geldof and co devote huge amounts of their time to the causes they support. If we really want to ask uncomfortable questions about good causes, shouldn't we look to the public who so eagerly support them?
For how many of the three million people in the UK who have pledged their support to the Make Poverty History campaign, the million who have bought a white wristband, or the 150,000 people who are expected to gather in Edinburgh, really know or understand exactly what measures the Make Poverty History campaign is calling for? And if they don't, aren't they just being at best sentimentally indulgent and at worst downright irresponsible?
According to Steve Tibbett of ActionAid, a Make Poverty History campaign coordinator, getting the support of the relatively uninformed is all part of the plan. "As campaigners, we understand from the start that there will be different levels of engagement," he says. "Any campaign these days will have in its communications strategy different levels of sophistication in terms of the message."
But isn't it worrying that to achieve a breadth of support, depth in understanding has to be sacrificed for the sake of simplicity? "I don't necessarily think it's irresponsible for someone to show support for something they only have a certain understanding of," Tibbett says. "Any campaign will have a kind of pyramid structure, where you're talking in a very sophisticated way to people who would be willing to lobby their MPs or write complex letters to ministers, right the way down to people who would just signify their support. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, as long as the campaign is legitimate."
Yet there is a tension here. The supporters at the bottom of the pyramid may be expressing a general desire to confront poverty. But those at the top are committed to a very particular course of action, where, as Tibbett says, "the specific goals are really important".
Stephen Pollard, a senior fellow at the Centre for the New Europe, is a leading critic of the Make Poverty History campaign. He accepts that "most people think they're not signing up to a detailed set of proposals but endorsing something that is wholesome", and he doesn't blame them for that. But where he does feel some supporters go wrong is to become convinced of the righteousness of their cause and so dismiss the alternatives without taking the trouble to find out the facts.
"If you are supporting something because it is clearly a good thing, then someone who pedantically says, 'Hold on, what they are specifically saying is actually wrong' is almost by definition criticising a good thing and must therefore be a bad thing. But it is rather that you are both trying to achieve the same end, and one of you has a different prescription."
Richard Norman, a professor of philosophy at the University of Kent who has been active in the Make Poverty History campaign, believes that details are unimportant. Those who support the campaign without a deep grasp of the issues, he says, are in some ways entering into its true spirit.
"The job of popular campaigns is to support the broad objectives, not to fine-tune detailed policies," he says. "The point of campaigning is to put pressure - essentially, moral pressure - on the politicians, and it's the politicians' job to make the decisions. In the case of Make Poverty History, the reason why a popular campaign is needed is to overcome the inertia and the vested interests which stand in the way of politicians doing what they know ought to be done to alleviate poverty."
Tibbett too points out that we don't expect people to be fully informed about everything they take a stand on. "If you think about a general election, for instance, you're not saying that a general election in the UK is invalid somehow because some people only read the Sun. In all these issues there are levels of sophistication and I don't think we should be too mean on some people who haven't got the time or interest to go in depth."
In any case, by no means all the campaign's supporters are woolly-minded idealists expressing no more than a pious wish to help the poor. Luke Houghton sports multiple white wristbands and will be travelling from Bristol to Edinburgh to protest at the G8 summit. Like many committed enough to campaign and protest, he can recite the three goals of the Make Poverty History campaign and defend them. "I feel it's important for me to know what's going on. I want to know what I'm fighting for," he says.
Joanie Willett from Cornwall is also making the trip to Edinburgh and talks about the different ways of understanding free trade with more subtlety than some media detractors. "A lot of people are actually really quite well informed," she claims. "Oxfam and Christian Aid did a Make Poverty History day at the Eden project at the weekend and you didn't have to tell people much because they already knew about the issues. Obviously you get some people who are just jumping on a popular bandwagon, but that's always going to happen."
The truth is that all of us have opinions, some of them very strong, on subjects we are not experts on. And unless we believe we should have no views and take no action on anything outside our expertise, that is something we just have to live with. Nevertheless, it is interesting to speculate why some non- expert views are dismissed as naive and ill-informed, while others will be entirely respected at dinner-table conversations.
The answer might be suggested by a remark in John Carey's The Intellectuals and the Masses. Make Poverty History has become a mass movement and, as Carey claims, the function of the term "mass" is "to deprive [the majority of people] of those distinctive features that makes users of the term, in their own esteem, superior".
The consequence of this is what we might term Carey's Law: anything which reaches a certain level of popularity will become despised by the minority who see themselves as society's elite. The anti-war campaign was the exception to the rule, only because the elite detest Tony Blair more even than they do the masses.
But what this elite needs to recognise is that they too hold a variety of views, only a few of which are backed up by in-depth knowledge and understanding. In the Times on Wednesday, for example, Bruce Anderson wrote that Geldof "would like his young followers to believe that the west is to blame for all of Africa's difficulties" and that his solution is to "stop encouraging Africa to participate in global trade and content ourselves with providing enough aid".
Yet, no doubt to the disappointment of many who will descend on Edinburgh via Seattle, Make Poverty History is manifestly not promoting an anti-capitalist, anti-free trade revolution. Indeed, although it wants developing countries to be able to protect some of their markets, on the whole, its goal is to make trade more free by abolishing punitive import tariffs in the west and ending Europe and America's huge farm subsidies, in order to open up western markets to developing economies.
Of course, we should all try to understand better those things we hold strong opinion on. But time is limited and if we think a lack of expertise should encourage humility, then the corollary is surely that we should be willing to defer to experts. And in the case of Make Poverty History, supporters are not being asked to support some ragbag coalition of fresh-faced idealists. "We're talking about nearly 500 organisations in the UK alone, representing a consensus on views on the types of issues that we recognise are the keys to unlocking poverty in Africa," says Tibbett. "These organisations consult widely and speak for partners on the ground in Africa, Asia and Latin America."
That people should choose to back such an alliance without first becoming well versed in the issues seems to me not a rash abdication of responsibility, but a perfectly reasonable respect for the judgments of people who care for what we care about, but who know a lot more about it. Open hearts and half-empty heads is not a lethal combination, unless those heads are also closed.

South Korea Housing Market Shows Signs of Life
Is the housing market in Asia's fourth-largest economy finally waking up?
South Korea's property market got off to a bullish start this year. Home sales in January more than doubled from a year earlier, driven by tax breaks and a brighter outlook for the economy.
The number of transactions surged to 58,846 nationwide last month–well above the average of 43,085 over the past five years, the land ministry said Thursday. Transactions in Seoul, its Kyonggi province and the nearby city of Incheon jumped a collective 203% on year.
Nomura economist Kwon Young-sun said there were strong signs of a recovery in the market. "We expect pent-up demand to materialize further, supported by government measures to increase social welfare spending and boost the property market," Mr. Kwon said in a recent report.
Others are bullish, too. One of the first things President Park Geun-hye's government did to stimulate the economy after taking over last year was to introduce tax breaks to help spur home sales. That tax relief, and upbeat expectations for the country's economy, are likely to keep the housing market in an uptrend this year, the land ministry said in a statement Thursday.
Finance Minister Hyun Oh-seok said in a report to parliament on Thursday there was "a sign of significant recovery in the real-estate market."
South Korea's housing market slumped beginning in 2008, with the values of residential real estate sliding as sales dwindled, in turn weighing on economic growth. The downturn came amid efforts by the government to promote a deleveraging of household debt. Banks, acting under the government's direction, made home loans more difficult to obtain. The nation's financial authorities still maintain debt-to-income and loan-to-value restrictions on mortgages.
Still, South Korea's household debt stood at a record-high 991.7 trillion won ($930 billion) as of the end of last September.
Last month's jump in home sales came as South Korea's economy is gaining steam. It expanded 2.8% last year, up from 2% a year earlier, and is expected to grow 3.8% this year and 4% next year, thanks to fiscal spending and a healthier global economy, the Bank of Korea said.

text: Q: Along the three-mile stretch of land along North Kihei Road that is flanked by Kealia Pond Wildlife Sanctuary and the Pacific Ocean, there are no trash barrels available. The area is frequented by fishermen, tourists and weekend partiers, all of whom seem to leave their trash behind to blow into the pond and the sea. Cleanup of the area seems to rely on organized volunteer cleanup crews or individuals who pick up trash as they walk along the beach. This is an extraordinarily sensitive stretch of land and it deserves good stewardship. Is there anything you can do to help with this situation? Mahalo for your time and attention.

This nonsense has a long history. I came to this country in the 80s. Imagine my reaction when I saw American football looking guys eating their sprouts on Columbia's grass. They scared me as much as Reagan who called some insanely rich people "heroes" for dropping some pennies "charitably."
Ah, at receptions there were mostly sticks - celery and carrots. Tell me that this is normal.
I never overcame my aversion to sprouts and sticks (and Reagan and charity)

Tomorrow is 4/20, which is an exceedingly important holiday for ganja lovers everywhere. 420 Day was established in 1971 as a teachable moment about the wonders of getting so damn stoned you forget you have legs.
We've already featured incredible stoner dogs, so for this 420 Day let us refer to the Venn diagram of internet plus stoners. What's that in the overlap? Oh, it's cats, the internet's favorite fluffy little potheads. In the tradition of cats straight chillin' and more cats straight chillin', we present thirty more cats who are getting extra chill for this 4/20 season.

Nature: Love in the Animal Kingdom
Wednesday, November 25 at 8:00 p.m.
Animals dance, sing, flirt and compete with everything they've got to find and secure a mate.
For many, the all-important bonds they share as a couple are what enable the next generation to survive. Can we call these bonds love?
In this delightful, provocative look at the love life of animals, watch the feminine wiles of a young gorilla, the search for Mr. Right among a thousand flamingos, the open "marriages" of blue-footed boobies, the soap opera arrangements of gibbons and all the subtle, outrageous, romantic antics that go into finding a partner

Students who are advanced in some learning areas and challenged in others (or, "twice-exceptional/2E") have a unique profile of significant strengths and weaknesses. They may have behavior issues. Sometimes they may have an IEP (Individual Education Plan). Some examples of learning area challenges:
- Students with behavioral challenges such as difficulty focusing, self control issues, and defiance of classroom rules and procedures.
- Students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or visual or auditory processing difficulties.
- Limited English Proficient Students are often enrolled in READ 180 or System 44 to help support their acquisition of English, but may be advanced in math.
If a 2e student is advanced in one subject area, he/she can be considered ALPS in a single subject. Doing this may help them work within their strength area and may motivate them to persevere in their areas of challenge.
Twice-Exceptional Frequently Asked Questions
Who are 2E students?
- Recognized as gifted or highly able. They have outstanding thinking, academic, and/or artistic talents. May be identified with a learning disability and receiving special education services. They may have poor reading, writing, and/or math skills.
- Bright students who are struggling in school and not reaching their potential.
- To help you determine if your child may be 2E, see "Characteristics of 2E Students."
How are 2E students first recognized?
- When educators and parents are aware of 2E characteristics and recognize the pattern of strengths and weaknesses within the student.
- School teams begin problem-solving using Student Success Team (SST) guidelines. They make recommendations and document the student's response to interventions and supports.
What do these students need?
- Challenging instruction in their areas of strength
- Instruction to improve the areas of weakness
- Individualized accomodations
- Case management and social/emotional support
What is SST Consultation?
- Consultation provides school staff with recommendations and strategies to support and challenge the students in the local school.
- School staff can request consultation for individual students.
- If parents feel this support is needed, they can contact their school ALPS Liaison, who will submit a 2E Consultation Request Form.
Dan Peters Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist, is Co-founder and Clinical Director of the Summit Center, specializing in the assessment and treatment of children, adolescents, and families, with a special emphasis on gifted children and their families.
ALPS is thrilled that Dr. Dan has agreed to provide families with answers about their gifted children in our tri-annual newsletter. Each issue, you can look forward to reading answers to questions provided by our NVUSD families.
Please send any questions for Dr. Dan to firstname.lastname@example.com and we will publish answers in our upcoming issues.

The corporate network has now hit rock bottom "and we're on the way up," in the view of the president/CEO of the Missouri Corporate Credit Union.
The NCUA announced today it has served 18 former U.S. Central FCU directors and officers with demand letters, alleging their breach of fiduciary duty contributed to the failed corporate's losses.
This year, corporate credit union annual meetings included more than just the usual financial reporting and refreshments. Many corporate members were discussing their cooperative's fate in a changing landscape.
Corporate executives tell Credit Union Times they don't know anything about NCUA's legacy assets plan, including whether or not their investments will be included.
By now, First Carolina Corporate CU members have sat down to their annual meeting and luncheon today in Pinehurst, N.C.
Corporate America Credit Union's case against U.S. Central Federal Credit Union's former directors and executives is going to court. U.S. District Court Judge Inge P. Johnson filed the order March 25, setting a Dec. 6 trial date in Birmingham, Ala.
NCUA officials have repeatedly said they want credit unions to determine the future structure of the corporate system.
Corporate credit unions are collectively turning up their noses to the same proposed amendments to the NCUA's Part 704 regulation.

Man, 82, dies after water heater fills home with CO
Smoke in house caused by malfunctioning water heater
Officials say a man died after a malfunctioning water heater filled his home with dangerous levels of carbon monoxide and smoke.
The York County Coroner's office has identified the victim as 82-year-old Charles Sheffer.
Firefighters arrived to a home Friday evening in Shrewsbury Township following a report of smoke in the house. They found an unresponsive elderly man in the kitchen. That victim later died at a nearby hospital in York.
Shrewsbury Fire Chief Tony Myers said the smoke was caused by a malfunctioning water heater in the basement. The gas-fired appliance also filled the home with carbon monoxide.

on December 5, 2012 - 12:43 AM
LEWISTON – The new Congress that takes office in January may hold the key to what, if anything, will be done during the next couple of years with the decades-old chemical and radioactive contamination at the former Lake Ontario Ordnance Works.
Members of the Community Action Council, or CAC, agreed Tuesday to reach out to newly elected and redistricted members of Congress and to their newly assembled staff members to bring them up to speed on the excruciatingly slow progress of cleaning up the mess left behind by the World War II production of TNT and components of the atomic bomb.
The CAC is an independent group of citizens interested in the fate of the old munitions works at the Lewiston-Porter town line. The council has no official status, but the Army Corps of Engineers has provided it with a technical facilitator, Douglas J. Sarno, to help guide it through the maze of regulations that could eventually lead to remediation of the site.
Meanwhile, the Corps contends that residues remaining on the site off Pletcher Road pose no hazard to nearby properties, including the Lewiston-Porter Central School campus on Creek Road.
The consensus among almost everyone on the CAC is that they would like to see "every last scrap" of soil, water and debris removed from the site, but Sarno reminded them that the Corps currently has no money for even a minimal cleanup, and that complete removal may be unachievable.
The facilitator suggested that the group spend the next couple of months getting the local congressional delegation behind a remediation program that would be acceptable to most stakeholders in the community.
The CAC is awaiting the issuance of two more technical memorandums from the Corps to help guide the decision-making process. Those memorandums are tentatively scheduled for release in April and July.
The Corps presented a slide program at Tuesday's meeting to show technical details of its continuing program that monitors the soil, water and air at the former ordnance works to make sure that no contamination seeps outside its enclosed boundaries.
