IF THE apocalypse was to arrive tomorrow, one of the four horsemen bearing down on the world might just turn out to be Zambian economist and scenario analyst Dambisa Moyo.
She'll alight from her fire-snorting stallion, make a perfect landing in high heels and haute couture and, once she's whipped off her helmet, she'll use her sword to stab her point home saying: "I told you so."
But the world-renowned author on matters of global import wouldn't come right out and say it — that resource scarcity will rout us all.
An astute thinker, however subjective and idealistic, she uses facts and figures to embolden her books — from her controversial 2009 debut, Dead Aid, to How The West Was Lost (2011) and, now, Winner Take All: The Race for the World's Resources, released this year — an acute assessment of macroeconomic demand outstripping global supply. It's an alarming read, of China's rush for energy, water, minerals and arable land, all in a desperate but determined attempt to sate the unstinting needs of its population of 1.3-billion and counting.
A compact and compelling book, Winner Take All has an over-the-top urgency about it that's best absorbed in small takes. Yet you can't resist its currency for too long. It draws you in and fills you with fear at the prospect of peril that, ironically enough, could follow in the wake of global progress.
Moyo essentially says there is way too little to go around and that unless we radically reassess our dependency on certain resources, and in particular how China's resource avarice fuels emerging economies, we're done for. Moyo, though, doesn't like to think of herself as alarmist, despite the fact that she's widely denounced for "media hype", particularly after Dead Aid's release. Her extensive argument on why aid to Africa has done very little, if anything, and why it should be cancelled, drew a wide audience, instantly turned her into a lectern celebrity for high-profile economic conferences and catapulted the book onto the New York Times bestseller list.
It was also widely panned. In the Dutch evening paper, NRC Handelsblad, Mark Schenkel wrote that experts tore the book apart "for its juggled statistics" and "one-sided interpretations". Tom Dietz of the Institute for Development Issues at the University of Amsterdam even got personal: "She's cute, glamorous and well-spoken. This works well in an entertainment-driven society."
It's thus unsurprising that barely had Winner Take All hit the New York Times bestseller list than it came in for the same sort of flak. Writing in The Guardian, Jonathan Fenby, himself an author on matters Chinese, says Moyo "fails to provide the essential domestic component" in that country's domestic demand for resources, and that a "fuller assessment" is required to properly contextualise the Asian Tiger's economic position in the world. But Fenby also praises Winner Take All for its "intimidating array of evidence", which is one way of looking at this fact-packed, overloaded book.
The evidence, exhaustively accumulated over three years, certainly speaks for itself. Moyo's research took her from Canada to Russia and China, of course, and involved interviews with about 80 commodities traders and policy makers.
To give the book historical context, she reached as far back as 1798, to economic theorist Thomas Malthus and his Essay on the Principle of Population. With that as a basic template for her arguments, Moyo sets out to paint a disturbing picture of how China is bloating itself amid short-sighted inaction from governments all too happy to suckle their economies on the Tiger's teat. Whether it is from a ground-level point of view, describing how every raw mineral you can think of goes into manufacturing a car — and that we can ill-afford the ever-growing demand for cars; or from a bird's-eye view, when she recounts how China is rerouting entire rivers such as the Brahmaputra to counter its severe fresh-water shortage — Moyo makes you pay attention.
The world's failure to pay enough serious attention to Chinese companies, such as Chinalco, buying up entire mountains in countries such as Peru, is what irks her the most.
"I was astonished to see how systematic and deliberate the Chinese campaign has been, and it just seemed odd to me that, in spite of the scarcity of resources, the rest of the world is not focusing on this problem in the same systematic way."
In typical fashion, she trots out some figures: "We'll have 9-billion people in the world by 2050, with 3-billion new people in the emerging classes by 2020 and an additional 3% moving into urban areas; all of them big demand factors, yet we're not talking about it. We talk about banking regulations from a global perspective and we talk about the Copenhagen Consensus" — the United Nation's talks about developing green economies.
Don't get Moyo wrong, though. She's not against enviro-friendly indabas such as the recent Rio+20 conference, where Copenhagen Consensus delegates continued to talk about sustainable development. She just finds it a bit of a ho-hum thumb-rolling affair.
"I've spent a lot of time in Silicon Valley talking to a lot of people about where the resource solutions might be coming from, and the feeling is that a lot of the solutions, like shale gas and nuclear energy, are either not palatable from an environmental or political lobbying point of view or are unlikely to be transformative on the scale we want. It's not that I think solar power and so forth is rubbish, but given the challenges … it doesn't give me much comfort".
In addition to the spectre of severe resource scarcity, Moyo also warns of the effect China's economic slowdown can have on emerging markets: "African governments and other mineral-rich countries like Russia and Brazil, countries that are overreliant on Chinese investment, mustn't just think it's business as usual. Export markets have been decimated (by the recession)."
Previously accused of not coming up with viable alternatives, Moyo recommends that governments do some navel-gazing: "China should ask itself whether it's possible for its citizens to live at the standard of your average westerner with three cars, plasma TVs and a smartphone for everyone, without some destruction in the world. I don't think so. Either the Chinese government spends every ounce of its know-how to satisfy that demand or it comes up with a new model for its people to live by."
In that sense, Africa is by default in a fortuitous position, Moyo argues. "(Africa) is delinked from the rest of the world. We have a billion people on this continent, 15% of the world's population, yet we sit at less than 2% of world trade, despite the fact that we have the most tillable land in the world. That's an abomination."
Could Africa rise to the challenge of feeding the world? We may not have a choice. Ending Winner Take All, Moyo writes: "We find ourselves on earth at a unique time with the … challenge of managing and navigating the headwinds of commodity shortages that the world faces over the next two decades." It's a do-or-die situation, and if we allow one winner to grab commodities unabated, we will all lose.

Contemporary capitalism is in the throes of crisis precipitated by over-accumulation and the effects of decades of privatization, commodification, and financialization, each sieved through the other. These crises have profound and uneven consequences for the present and future that can be seen in the shifting discourses and material social practices around children and childhood. This paper builds upon my ongoing project, 'childhood as spectacle,' to examine what is at stake in the accomplishment of social reproduction—and its failures—in turbulent times and heterogeneous spaces. Looking closely at the ways aspirations for the future are defined, managed, reached, and deferred in and through the family and schools, I will take stock of contemporary social reproduction and its anxieties. Drawing on three popular and contradictory cultural productions of the past year, the films Race to Nowhere and Waiting for Superman, and the best selling book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua this presentation will address some of the ways the lives and wellbeing of some children—middle class and wealthier children—have been fetishized while others—the vast majority of children—suffer the consequences of a disinvested public sphere and a radically reduced social wage. As the sense of precariousness stemming from the financial crises of the past decade widens and infiltrates everyday life more deeply this situation becomes more acute. In this context aspiration and its management can be framed as a cultural politics ripe for unpacking; a structure of feeling whose drives and effects may illuminate the present as a political moment.

One of the underappreciated joys of the annual Tennessee Williams/New Orleans Literary Festival is the chance to encounter the lesser-known works of the playwright. The 27th annual edition began this week relishing that opportunity with a star-studded look at three rare one-act plays.
Under the banner of "Those Rare Electrical Things Between People," directors Aimee Hayes and David Kaplan presented a trio of brief plays centered on various relationships between two people. The plays were given vivid staged readings at the Hotel Monteleone on Thursday night. Each play contains the lyrical poetry that colors all of Williams' work, even as he creates such distinct characters. In looking at three very different types of relationships, a common thread of humanity's need to connect is poignantly revealed.
The program opened with the hauntingly beautiful "Talk to Me Like the Rain and Let Me Listen." Written in 1953, this is Williams in his most minimalist form, which makes it ripe for presentation in a staged reading. Little is needed in way of a set; the characters themselves are only named Man and Woman.
Bryan Batt and Alison Fraser brought their Broadway chops to the rich monologues that make up most of the one-act piece. They play a couple (perhaps together for a long time, perhaps little more than a one-night stand) who are lost and lonely, even in one another's company. Each shares their story with little interaction, other than resigned sighs and reactions.
The piece opens with Batt's character waking from a rough night – days and nights – of drinking. There is a touch of humor in his confusion as to what has happened to him, but it quickly turns to sadness and pity as it becomes clear that his drinking has turned him into a self-absorbed, even cruel man. In a powerful scene, the cruelties inflicted upon him while he was in a stupor are not remembered, or, perhaps, he chooses to leave them unspoken.
Fraser captures the Woman's sense of desperation. She is seeking escape, not only from this Man but from herself, and from life itself. When the Man finally convinces her to talk, "like the rain," it becomes a downpour of emotion, longing and depression. Fraser brings a fire to it all that illumines the script. She brings the heightened language to life, showcasing that delicate balance that few playwrights other than Williams can get away with – dialogue that is poetic and, at the same time, grittily real. It can be coarse, but it also is transporting.
- What: The five-day festival celebrating the art and influence of writer Tennessee Williams includes performances, panel discussions, author events, celebrity writers, theater gossip, walking tours and contests.
- Where: A dozen venues across the French Quarter, centered at the Hotel Monteleone, 214 Royal St., and at the Williams Research Center of the Historic New Orleans Collection, 410 Chartres St.
- When: Events continue through Sunday, March 24.
- Admission: Event prices and packages vary. Go to tennesseewilliams.net for a complete schedule and to purchase tickets. For more information, call 504.581.1144. Tickets are available on site at the Hotel Monteleone.
The earliest piece of the trilogy shows a young Williams developing his strength as a pure storyteller. Written in the 1930s, "The Palooka" is set in a gym or boxing arena, where a new young prizefighter is about to get his first big break. Ringside, he meets an older fighter who tells him the story of Galveston Joe, the poor kid's boxing hero.
Harry Shearer and Michael Arata are at the center of the brief scene, each giving a poignant, joyous performance. Arata, though obviously too mature for the role in a fully staged production, plays the young boxer with an exuberance of a lovable puppy. With a lot of "dese" and "dems" and "dose," he also dumbs down his language appropriately without turning the character into a cartoon.
Shearer shows why he is so renowned as a flexible actor – able to shape his voice into such a rich variety of characters. With a near deadpan approach, but with elements of wistful nostalgia dripping into his voice, he gives the young buck advice, and spins the yarn about the pleasurable life his childhood hero is now living. Shearer's sense of timing as a natural storyteller is exquisite. He knows how to draw out the images with Williams' words in a way that those pictures blossom in the mind of the audience. While the twist in the tale is beyond predictable, this little diamond in the rough charms.
The evening closed with another poignant but acerbically funny work, written by Williams in 1958. "Something Unspoken" was originally presented as a double bill under the title of "Garden District." It is the companion piece to the now better-known "Suddenly, Last Summer."
"Something Unspoken" is a glimpse into the lives of a wealthy Southern spinster and her secretary/companion of 15 years. Beneath the genteel setting of their situation lie tensions and emotions that plague any relationship when things go unspoken for too long.
Those tensions are cleverly and charmingly unpeeled in a pair of tour-de-force performances by Christine McMurdo-Wallis and Nell Nolan. McMurdo-Wallis is the wealthy Cornelia, obsessed with gaining a top position in the local chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy. Nolan plays the aptly named Grace, her quiet and much put-upon secretary.
As they sit together near the telephone awaiting the results of the chapter's election, details of their lives together emerge – but only to the degree that either character is willing to reveal. "People who don't know me are everybody," Cornelia declares.
McMurdo-Wallis shows the haughty flair of the imperious Cornelia, fiercely competitive, but like so many of Williams' women, showing vulnerability just beneath the surface. She is a woman whose fortune is the only thing holding her orderly, near-feudal world together, long past its expiration date. She has confused servitude with love, resulting in a misreading of the reasons Grace has remained with her for 15 years. The core of their relationship is, indeed, something unspoken and probably misunderstood by each.
Nolan is the picture of self-sacrificing grace, having dedicated so much of her life to serving her trying and difficult employer. The reasons why are never clear; that line between secretary and companion apparently were blended years earlier. Nolan plays the ambiguity to perfection. There is a genuine compassion shared between these two, but Nolan's Grace gets her wry digs in, as well, taking a certain delight in watching Cornelia being taken down a notch or two.

Distinguished Alumna 1999
Susan Ivy Clark
Susan Ivy Clark, Lawton, was born in 1953 at Fort Bragg, N.C. and graduated from Northside High School, Fort Smith, Ark. She received bachelor's degrees in sociology and history from Cameron in 1975.
She was one of the first graduates in the sociology degree program. She has fond memories of her instructors and experiences at Cameron and remembers working in the art department when it was located in the barns on the west side of campus with an occasional cow observing her through the window.
Other degrees include an associate of art from Westark College and a masters in sociology, with honors, from the University of Oklahoma where she was a graduate teaching and research assistant.
Clark has been an interviewer for the Oklahoma State Employment Service, a social worker for the Oklahoma Department of Human Services in 1977-85 and an outreach counselor for St. John's Hospital's Adolescent Treatment Unit in 1985-87. Her work for St. Johns Hospital included the development of the S.T.A.R. program at Comanche County Memorial Hospital. Since 1987, she has been the director of New Directions, Inc. She has also taught as an adjunct instructor in the criminal justice, sociology and political science department at Cameron.
She became a volunteer and board member of New Directions, a shelter for battered women and their children in 1983, serving several terms as an officer including president. Under her leadership the shelter has increased staff, services and volunteer support. Programs include 24-hour sexual assault crisis teams and a hotline, family counseling, court advocacy, outpatient counseling, a public awareness program and professional training for volunteers, police and medical staff. Through local efforts, shelter services are now available to more southwest Oklahoma counties. Through grants and fund-raising efforts, New Directions is building a new shelter and is expected to open its doors this fall.
Clark introduced the Silent Witness Program to Oklahoma through New Directions and Junior League of Lawton. The project involves the creation of life-size silhouettes holding engraved plaques with the stories of women and children killed by domestic violence in the Lawton area.
A proposal written by Clark brought New Directions Oklahoma's first grant from the Nicole Brown Simpson Charitable Foundation. This led to a meeting with the staff of that organization and members of the Brown family in Washington, D.C., on behalf of victims of violence. An invitation was extended to march with them at a March to End Silence, with the Lawton delegation creating the Silent Witness silhouette for Nicole.
Clark became a member of Junior League of Lawton since 1991 and served as president for 1998-99. She has served on the Oklahoma Coalition on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault since 1980. She has been a member of the Comanche County FEMA board since 1994 and has served on the State Department of Health's domestic violence and sexual assault advisory committee.
Honors include Outstanding Women of Comanche County nominee in 1997 and Outstanding Young Women of America in 1986.

Immunologic response after 6 months of highly active antiretroviral therapy indicates a favorable clinical outcome in HIV-infected patients regardless of virologic response. This finding suggests that both immunologic and virologic markers should be used in clinical practice to evaluate treatment response.
This study suggests that wine intake may have a beneficial effect on all-cause mortality that is additive to the effect of alcohol. This effect may be attributable to a reduction in death from both coronary heart disease and cancer.
The available data suggest that garlic is superior to placebo in reducing total cholesterol levels. However, the size of the effect is modest, and its robustness is debatable. The use of garlic for hypercholesterolemia is therefore of questionable value.
A retroviral rebound syndrome similar to that seen in primary HIV syndrome can occur in patients with chronic HIV infection after cessation of suppressive antiretroviral therapy.
Interruption of therapy may be associated with profound viral rebound and recurrence of the acute HIV syndrome.
Clinicians caring for HIV-1–infected patients who are receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy must be aware of inflammatory reactions involving opportunistic infections, AIDS-associated malignant conditions, and infectious diseases.
Grabar and colleagues' study in this issue points to the importance of assessing the virologic and immunologic responses to treatment in the context of the underlying pathogenetic process. By doing so, we will be able to reach the ultimate goal of antiretroviral therapy: to prevent illness and prolong survival among HIV-infected patients.
In this issue, Temple and Ellenberg address the ethical challenge presented by use of placebo controls. Under what circumstances are placebo controls ethical, and what alternatives are available?
To many health professionals, the ideal patient just lies there quietly and cooperatively, watching television between occasional bouts of meaningful interaction with his family. Bob didn't measure up to this standard.
The Under Toad in John Irving's novel The World According to Garp is a grim symbol of the uncertainty of recurrence that patients with cancer face.
Among the topics covered in this Update are the prevention of coronary artery disease, use of antithrombins, and treatment of congestive heart failure.
Part one of this two-part article considers the ethical concerns about the use of placebo controls and describes the limited ability of active-control equivalence trials to establish efficacy of new therapies in many medical contexts.
Part two of this two-part article discusses more fully the ethical considerations for using placebo controls in particular settings. The value and relevance of placebo-controlled trials of new agents in situations in which proven effective therapy is available are also explored.

Marquette may have dodged a big bullet with Jamil Wilson, the senior forward who injured his right knee while going up for a dunk early in the first half vs. Samford.
Wilson, the team's leading scorer entering the game, stayed in the game to shoot his and-1 free throw, but missed it, and stayed in the game for 41 more seconds before coming out. He did not return.
Eagles coach Buzz Williams told reporters that Wilson was getting a postgame MRI, but that Wilson wanted to play in the second half.
Because Marquette had the game so well in hand, there was no reason for Williams to push it with Wilson, who is averaging 11.7 points per game.
The Eagles open Big East play on the road at Creighton next Tuesday, and Williams knows how jacked the Bluejays will be in playing their first conference game as a member of the Big East.
"I wasn't here, but I think it will mimic Marquette's home opener in Big East play vs. UConn when they were top 10 in the country and they just blitzed 'em," Williams said of Marquette's 94-79 win over No. 2 UConn in 2006. "I think we're walking into a buzzsaw, and I think they're waiting."

he had memo for the third fight and looked pretty much as ripped as he did for the 4th.
and Marquez has *never* refused to be tested. Can't same the same for Nappiao.
But when Nappiao walks headfirst into a right hand (that also dropped him earlier in the fight), suddenly Marquez is the suspect? GTFO. It wasn't Marquez who was asking for cutoffs or hiding behind excuses like fear of needles, superstition, etc. Marquez has been a standup guy in regards to testing from the get go. It was Pac's camp, Roach specifically, who LIED about Marquez refusing to be tested, then goes on to accuse Marquez of using PEDs. Says a lot when Memo threatened to sue and Freddie backtracked with his lame 'I was just joking' excuse (which nobody believes). Nappiao and his camp are phucking clowns.

Marquez is probably on the juice. Pacquiao's does not give a care about testing, Pacman seems aloof he is an old school fighter and just fights whoever you tell him too. Roach fault for not forcing the issue on testing earlier, if Roach is smart he better drill it in Pacmans head to get VADA testing for all his fights.
When I say this that Marquez is probably on the juice, it's because you have to think about it this way, this man has an obsession to beat Pacquiao, his live revolves around him, Pacquiao reminds me of Sakuraba the gracie hunter, he beat all those gracie the same way Pacman was destroying Mexican fighters, when Royce and Saku had a rematch after their first fight which was a draw, Royce the great Royce gracie, used steroids, he went that far to finally beat the man who was a thorne on his side.
Marquez seems like the type of person who would do this, he drinks his own piss, likes getting different alternative medicine done, likes the hyperbaric chambers, and loves getting vitamin injections in his butt. Anyone who isn't suspicious of JMM but was suspicious of Pacquiao just because Floyd said so, are delusional and biased.
JMM has a serious cloud over his head but for some reason people don't really care, it only matters that Pacquiao juices nobody else.
JMM body is a red flag his transformation at 39 was insane, first he bulked up against Pacman with huge wwe wrestler style muscle, next he got shredded with hard solid muscle.
He also sought out Memo Heredia a known snitch and braggart who even after he was let off the hook continued to do PED pushing, he never served time and threw his clients under the bus to save his ass.
Unlike Conte, Memo ratted and hasn't reformed, why change your name and hide in Mexico?
JMM probably was coaxed by Memo saying Pacquiao is juicing and everyone is juicing so why not juice? I can beat those tests just tell them you are clean and say you will take any test they are easy to beat.
Marion Jones replied the same way JMM did, saying test me now, test me all you want I am clean.

not rational boxing fans
If anything the Floyd fans should attack Marquez the same way they did or do pacman, but they don't because it shows they don't really care unless it concerns Pacquiao fighting Floyd.

marquez is as suspicious as one can be without testing positive or admitting it etc
but yet people act shocked and offended when someone is highly suspicious of him doping

Wen-Ting was a great host. She provided us with detailed instructions for making our way from the airport to the appt and met us with the keys. She also left us with excellent recommendations of places to eat in and around alphabet city - essential as there is just too much to choose! The apartment is nice and clean and the perfect size for two people. It's in a good location for access to bars and food. Overall a fab host in a fab apartment in a fab city!
Wen-Ting was such an amazing host and made our New York stay a great one. The apartmemt was exactly as described and in a really quiet neighborhood - good sleeps every one of our 9 nights. Wen-Ting really went over and above to make sure we had all the information we required and was always available to give us brilliant local insights. Thank-you so much, we could not have asked for a nicer person to deal with. We would defo stay at Wen-Ting's again. You are the best!
...and you were such a pleasure to host! As a traveler myself, I love hearing from guests that I was able to somehow contribute positively to their trip. Come back anytime!
Great place to stay! Right near the centre of East Village, great shops, friendly people and good restaurants. Though not very close to a subway(15-20min walk), the bus stops right nearby and will take you there in a tick. Wen-Ting is a fabulous host. The flat is cosy and as shown in the pics. No hidden surprises the pictures are literally like for like. Will book the same if I come to New York again!!! Thanks again!
Wen-Ting is a great host, friendly staff, available. She had much patience with my questions and needs . His recommendations were precious and accurate. The apartment is very bright, spacious and airy. Very nice to stay in this home.
Staying at Wen-Ting's place was a real pleasure. Even though we never met her and got the keys to the apartment from a friend of hers, we never felt left out in the cold because she's easy to communicate and very responsive. She provided us with a guide to nearby restaurants (we loved every one of them), supermarkets, etc. This is a great neightborhood with lots of activity going on at all times -each and every street is so alive-, so the flat is ideal for a genuine NY experience. This is a very quiet building with warm neighbors, and the elevator is a huge plus. The bed might be a bit small for a couple, but apart from that, it was a perfect overall stay.
Wen-Ting was very helpful and kind in all our contacts. The apartment is very nice, clean and well lit. It has a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with a good shower, and good space in the living room and the bedroom. There are many bars and restaurants on the neighborhood, so you can end your day somewhere near the apartment.
The reservation was canceled 7 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Wen-Ting was a pleasure to deal with...her communication prior and during the stay was prompt and very easy. Her apartment is in a great location and was very clean. The bed was also very comfortable which meant for great night sleeps. Wen-Ting was also very accomodating with our arrival and departure times. I would recommend Wen-tings accomodations for anyone considering travel to NYC. Thanks Again ! Anthony and Lisa
Wenting is very easy with communication and the apartment is clean and feels like home! I'd recommend it. Thanks Wen-ting for your arrangement! :)
Wen Ting's apartment is lovely. Exactly the type of place I live in. The location is excellent and a short walk from everything in the east village. I was amazed at how many activities I ended up involved in on 4th street itself. Stand up comedy, restaurants, a famous theater company, cooking classes and of course bars cafes, pizza shops and everything else that makes the village. Wen-Ting was super organized, flexible and responsive to all my questions. Even hurricane Irene didn't present a problem. I would definitely recommend Wen Ting's apartment if you're staying in NY.

Wen-Ting was an awesome guest. She communicated her plans clearly, was friendly, independent, and left her room and surroundings spotless. We really enjoyed spending some time with her and enjoyed some great conversation. We would have her back in a heartbeat
Wen-Ting Was a great guest. Was respectful of her surroundings. Will gladly host her again
A very lovely and easygoing lady. Wen-Ting is always welcome. I recommend her highly.
Wen-ting was a wonderful guest!
Wen-Ting's group was a stellar five star experience. They came for the out of doors and were able to enjoy walks, the nearby towns and the house and falls. They came to our swimming hole and visited our garden. Rich and I were delighted with their company! They left their home clean and neat. I recommend them highly!
Wen-Ting and Dan were perfect guests: Active, friendly, smart and fun-loving. Neat as pins. We'd love to have them back anytime.
Wen-Ting excelente chica! Linda y Muy Simpática. Ella y sus amigos son limpios divertidos y amigables. Fue una linda experiencia tenerlos en casa. La recomiendo al 100%
We are sorry that we had not much time taking with Wen Ting because we were quite busy on the new year. She is a real traveler.
I do not have a chance to meet Wen-Ting but our communication was really smooth. My maids told me that she is nice and friendly. When she left, the room was clean and neat. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us. :)

I have known Wen-ting for many years, since Fall of '99 to be exact. She is without a doubt one of the most trustworthy persons that I know, and very cool in an unassuming way - reserved et al. I know that she enjoys traveling so given that it is travelers who come to stay at her place, she would be empathetic to the needs of those staying at her place - cleanliness, professional, etc. As far as stories - there are too many to tell, so will spare everyone :)
Wen-ting has been a very good friend of mine ever since I moved to NYC, about 8 years ago. She is smart, reliable, helpful, and just a naturally good-hearted person. Her apartment is very nice, clean, and cool. I highly recommend renting from her, you'll have a wonderful NYC experience.

Ethiopia-the faraway land on the horn of Africa, was Jane Kurtz's home when she was a young girl. Her parents were missionaries there, and her playmates were dark-skinned, smiling children. They mostly lived in grass-covered huts with dirt floors covered with mats—as did Jane and her family. The boys might work as cattle herders; the girls would help their mothers with cooking until it was time for them to be married.
To open a book illustrated by Floyd Cooper is to be drawn into a world of warmth, bravery, and joy. His drawings are as essential as the text itself in illuminating the world of childhood, often of the Black experience.
He was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1956. Early on, his family lived in the projects and had little money, but his mother was able to give him a sense of self-worth that he has carried with him always. She also shared stories with him, helping to build his imagination.

He was trouble, into everything at once, with an imagination that just wouldn't quit. Neither his teachers nor his parents knew quite what to do with him. But when he opened his mouth the most beautiful sounds came out. Young Jack Prelutsky had a glorious voice, so good they called him a prodigy, and the New York Metropolitan Opera's choirmaster gave him free lessons. But he gave up his dream of being the world's best opera singer when he heard Luciano Pavarotti perform. He knew he couldn't match that amazing voice, and he did know for certain that whatever he did in his life, he wanted to be the very best at it.

Alicia Suskin Ostriker is one of our country's finest poets. She lives in Princeton, New Jersey. I thought that today you might like to have us offer you a poem full of blessings.
The Blessing of the Old Woman, the Tulip, and the Dog
To be blessed
said the old woman
is to live and work
so hard
God's love
washes right through you
like milk through a cow
Equipment. I like to paint and draw, and I own enough art supplies to start my own store. And for every hobby there are lots of supplies that seem essential. In this poem we get a whole tackle box full of equipment from Michael Sowder, who lives and fishes in Utah.
Fishing, His Birthday
Whether we like it or not, we live with the awareness that death is always close at hand, and in this poem by Don Thompson, a Californian, a dead blackbird can't be pushed out of the awareness of the speaker, nor can it escape the ants, who have their own yard work to do.
Yard Work
My leaf blower lifted the blackbird—
wings still spread, weightless,
floating on the loud, electric wind
almost as if it were alive.

Athletics Beat Yankees, 4-3
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) ? Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run homer in the first inning and A.J. Griffin shut down one of baseball's best lineups for five innings as the Oakland Athletics beat the Yankees 4-3 Thursday night to snap a nine-game skid at home to New York.
Seth Smith added a two-run single in the third for the A's, who won for the 11th time in 13 games to move a season-best four games over .500 at 48-44 ? the first time the club has been there since it was 28-24 on May 31, 2010.
The A's snapped New York's three-game winning streak and handed the Yankees ? who at 57-35 still own the best record in the big leagues ? just their third defeat in 12 games.

Suicide by Hit Man?
Was Andrew Kissel Killed for Shady Deals? Or Did He Engineer His Death as a Final Swindle?
At this point, the only thing certain is that Kissel's murder was as brutal as it is mysterious. The victim had been stabbed four or five times in the back. His hands and feet had been bound with plastic restraints. According to Andrew's father, William, who has been briefed by police, investigators found no sign of forced entry at the mansion, where Andrew had been staying alone, nor any fingerprints that didn't belong there. There were no defensive wounds on Kissel's hands, suggesting the lack of a struggle. "Whoever killed him, it wasn't a little guy," says William, a retired chemist and inventor. "My son was very strong." He also had a long career as a very shady businessman and a long list of enemies. "He led a complex life," his criminal defense lawyer Philip Russell says drily. "Many people were unhappy with him."
For starters, there were several banks that federal prosecutors, in a case brought against him last June, say he bilked out of $20 million by applying for loans with phony documentation. Then there were the members of his Manhattan co-op, who discovered in 2003 that Kissel, who served as the treasurer of the building, had embezzled more than $4 million from them after they gave their smooth-talking neighbor wide control over the finances. Kissel used his ill-gotten money to help fund a decidedly upscale life, which included a $3.4 million yacht and a private jet. Kissel was also being sued by his business partner in a Connecticut real estate development firm for stealing assets. As an added twist, Andrew is the brother of Robert Kissel, a prominent banker living in Hong Kong who was killed by his wife, Nancy, in 2003 in the notorious "milk shake murder" (see box). Says Lt. Daniel Allen of the Greenwich police, who are heading the current investigation: "The officers have a lot of work ahead of them, a lot of people to talk to."
Perhaps the most bizarre possibility is that Kissel, facing jail and with his life in financial ruin, had hired a hit man to have himself killed, so that his daughters, Ruth, 8, and Dara, 6, might inherit the money from his insurance policy. That scenario first cropped up in an article in the New York Post, which quoted an unnamed "source familiar with the case" floating the possibility. When asked, police would not confirm or deny if they are in fact pursuing that angle. Kissel's father says he initially considered the suicide-by-hit-man possibility "preposterous" but now isn't willing to rule it out. "I changed my mind," says William, mournfully and on the edge of exhaustion. He adds that it is his understanding that his son did have an insurance policy worth between $10 million and $15 million: "He loved his children, and he wanted them to get something from this, so that's a real possibility."
In contrast to his turbulent end, Andrew Kissel grew up in comfort and stability. His father invented a process for copy machine toner that enabled the family to live in ritzy Saddle River, N.J. "His parents were great people," says Danny Williams, 42, Robert Kissel's childhood best friend. Even as a youngster, though, Andrew was troubled. "As we got older, Andy started hanging out with a bad crowd," recalls Williams. "He started smoking pot, doing cocaine. I once saw him steal money out of his mother's purse." In that respect, says Williams, he was "totally different" from younger brother Robert, who was down-to-earth and didn't cut ethical corners. "Andrew always wanted to have the best car and the best tires on it," says Williams. "I think he was just greedy. He wanted it all and didn't want to have to work hard for it."
All the same, there are reasons to doubt the suicide-by-hit-man scenario. Kissel's attorney Graber points out that the method of death—stabbing—was especially painful. "I don't think that's the way Mr. Kissel wanted to go out," says Graber, who was handling Kissel's divorce. "Maybe a bullet to the back of the head if he was that slick about arranging his death." Vernon Geberth, a retired New York City homicide commander and the author of Practical Homicide Investigation: Tactics, Procedures and Forensic Techniques, a textbook used in police academies all over the country, agrees. "That's ludicrous," says Geberth. "If you're going to have yourself whacked, you don't submit yourself to being bound and stabbed." But to Geberth's practiced eye, the method of murder does suggest some other lines of inquiry. "Multiple stabbing connotes to me anger and/or rage," he says. "The binding is an element of torture, so I would be leaning more toward a personal motivation than strictly a hit."
At the time of his murder, Kissel's divorce from wife Hayley, 43, had become more heated. She had filed a motion to have him evicted from the house. The day before he was last seen alive, Saturday, April 1, he and Hayley, a former champion skier whom he met when she was the ski instructor for Andrew's sister Jane, openly quarreled in front of the moving men who were there to pack him up. (It was the movers, returning on Monday, who discovered the body.) But Graber, for one, is certain that the divorce, though somewhat acrimonious, had nothing to do with his client's death. "When he sat with me in my office, he didn't seem as bitter and filled with hate as 99 percent of the people who sit here," says Graber. (Police have said that Hayley is fully cooperating in the investigation.)
In the end, of course, for all his scheming ambition, Andrew, who suffered from substance abuse and was taking antipsychotic medicine for bipolar disorder, got nothing but a squalid death. Only about 20 people attended his funeral. Among the no-shows were his wife and kids, kept away by a feud that has raged in the family ever since Andrew and Hayley fought unsuccessfully to get custody of Robert's three children after his murder. (The kids are now living with Robert and Andrew's sister Jane.) Even for his defense lawyer, the whole strange saga remains an enigma that may or may not be solved. Says Philip Russell: "It is a true mystery."

National Park Service:
Opportunities Exist to Clarify and Strengthen Special Uses Permit Guidance on Setting Grazing Fees and Cost-Recovery
GAO-06-355R: Published: Feb 9, 2006. Publicly Released: Feb 9, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6246
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In our September 2005 report, Livestock Grazing: Federal Expenditures and Receipts Vary, Depending on the Agency and the Purpose of the Fee Charged, we reported that the National Park Service (Park Service) allowed livestock grazing on nearly 1.6 million acres at 31 park units. To manage grazing on their lands, the park units spent at least $410,000 in fiscal year 2004, which included activities such as fence maintenance, personnel, and monitoring resource conditions; they also collected about $196,000 in receipts from ranchers for the privilege of grazing livestock on Park Service lands. In fiscal year 2004, the park units retained about $192,000, or 98 percent, of the receipts collected. During the course of our work, we found that the park units were not consistently implementing the Park Service's special uses permit guidance for fee-setting and cost-recovery. This letter presents the results of our further evaluation of the park units' efforts to manage grazing permits on their lands and makes recommendations to strengthen the Park Service's guidance for setting fees, recovering costs, and retaining funds. This letter discusses (1) the fees that park units charge for grazing permits and (2) reporting and retaining of cost-recovery amounts from grazing permits.
The park units use different approaches when setting grazing fees. Although the Park Service's special uses permit guidance directs park units to charge grazing fees based on two amounts--a land and facility fee plus an amount to recover costs--we found that none of the 31 park units appeared to have followed the Park Service's guidance. Some of the park units have not implemented the guidance on setting grazing fees, in part because they believe that the guidance calls for a fee that is higher than market value and that such a fee would discourage grazing. The Park Service is reviewing its guidance and the fee that it should charge. In reviewing Park Service guidance, we identified questions about the Park Service's fee structure, which we have raised with the Solicitor's Office of the Department of the Interior. For this reason, we are recommending that the Park Service revise its guidance to reflect the resolution we reached with the Solicitor's Office regarding the authority for the Park Service's fee structure. Many of the park units are retaining receipts in excess of what they reported as cost-recovery amounts for managing the grazing program. For example, officials at Gettysburg National Military Park and Eisenhower National Historic Site in Pennsylvania indicated that each location deposited $1,350 in grazing fees for use by the park unit; however, both park units reported no cost-recovery amounts and no expenditures for grazing permits. If park units do not calculate and document cost-recovery amounts, the Park Service cannot ensure that they are only retaining the funds they are authorized to retain. As a result, we are recommending that the Park Service develop strategies to better ensure that the park units calculate and document cost-recovery amounts.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: GAO's General Counsel issued a decision on Special Park Use Fees on August 23, 2007 (B-307319). The National Park Service Special Use Program Manager incorporated the decision into second-level guidance--the Director's Order--for the program and has incorporated changes from the Federal Register notice into the document. The Director's Order was approved by the Director of the National Park Service in February 2010.
Recommendation: As the Park Service revises its guidance on fees for special uses permits, it should ensure that the guidance reflects the resolution we reached with the Solicitor's Office regarding the authority for the Park Service's fee structure.
Agency Affected: Department of the Interior: National Park Service
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The National Park Service Special Use Program is holding several training sessions per year for special use management and fees. According to the Special Use Program Manager, the new training will incorporate the GAO decision on grazing fees.
Recommendation: The Park Service should develop strategies to better ensure that the park units calculate and document cost-recovery amounts.

Democratic Party officials think a mail-in solution may be the best way to give Florida Democrats a voice in selecting their party's candidate for president.
The Democratic National Committee disqualified the states of Florida and Michigan of all their convention delegates for holding their primaries too early. The results of both primaries were declared null and void. New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton won both states, but no delegates. Her rival, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, did not appear on Michigan's ballot.
The total delegate count of both states equals 313. Obama currently has more delegates than Clinton. But that could change if Clinton were to win a large enough portion of Florida and Michigan's delegates.
Due to the unexpected closeness of the race for the Democratic presidential nominee, the disqualification of The Sunshine State and The Wolverine State has created a problem. Party officials from both states are trying to figure out how best to solve the problem before the national convention in August.
DNC Chairman Howard Dean said a mail-in primary is "actually a very good process."
"Every voter gets a ballot in the mail," the former Vermont governor said on CBS's "Face the Nation." "It's comprehensive, you get to vote if you're in Iraq or in a nursing home. It's not a bad way to do this."
As for who pays, Dean said, "That is a problem," reiterating that the party needs its money for the general election campaign against Republican John McCain.
Florida Republican Gov. Charlie Crist has already said no to the idea that his state pay for another primary. Dean suggested the state Democratic party might foot the bill. Florida's political parties, unlike the DNC, can accept unlimited contributions.
Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., supports the mail-in solution, comparing it to an absentee ballot process. He also pinned his hopes on the state party to pay for it.
"Since Governor Dean has said he's not going to do it in the DNC, the Florida Democratic Party's going to have to go out and raise the money," he said. "We're looking at about $6 million."
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., appeared to be amenable to a mail-in solution for his state, though with less enthusiasm.
Speaking on ABC's "This Week," Levin said doing the election again would be against state law. "That can't be changed, and that can't be paid for," he said. Levin also said caucuses would be difficult, with 500 potential sites.
"The one possibility would be some kind of a mail-in caucus," he said. "But there's some real problems with that, too. Not just cost, but the security issue. How do you make sure that hundreds of thousands, perhaps a million or more ballots can be properly counted and that duplicate ballots can be avoided?"

Borough Council Looks to Move Forward With Plans for Stacked Parking at Garages
Candace Braun
An ordinance that would legalize stacked parking in Borough garages was introduced 5 to 1 by Council at its meeting on Tuesday, September 28. The ordinance, which was amended by Council, will be reviewed by the Princeton Regional Planning Board on Thursday.
The ordinance would allow stacked parking in existing parking garages in the Borough where at least 100 spaces are allotted for cars. Stacked parking is defined by the Borough as parking spaces created by a parking arrangement not satisfying the current stall width and aisle requirements for each car. The cars would be parked in such a way that drivers would be unable to retrieve their cars without moving other cars out of the way, either with the assistance of another driver, or a garage attendant.
The stacked parking ordinance would apply to garages in the Central Business District, which include Palmer Square garages on Chambers Street and Hulfish North, as well as the Borough's new garage on Spring Street.
"Maybe it's time to stop using parking as a constraint on development," said Councilman David Goldfarb, adding that stacked parking seemed like the best solution to the parking problem in town.
One change that Council made to the ordinance approved by the Planning Board would not require garages to have an attendant dedicated to moving cars for drivers if the site is "designated for use by permanent, registered occupants of the same residential or commercial unit."
The other change to the ordinance removes the sunset clause that would make it expire at the end of 2009. Council President Mildred Trotman suggested the change, as the estimated completion date of the townhouses that would make use of the garages is currently predicted for 2008.
Councilman Roger Martindell, who cast the lone vote against the ordinance, said he disagreed with opening up more spaces at other parking garages when the new Spring Street garage is never full. He voted against the ordinance because he felt it was a "premature proposal."
However, Mayor Joe O'Neill reminded him that stacked parking was part of an agreement made between the Borough and Palmer Square Management back in 1990, as part of the Palmer Square Housing Settlement. The purpose of the plan would be to free up additional space for cars so that Palmer Square could move forward with its development plans to build 97 luxury-unit townhouses on Hulfish North.
Michael Allison, a Hulfish Street resident who operates a business in Palmer Square, said that stacked parking would become an inconvenience to many residents and business owners who need to move in and out of the garage at a moment's notice: "We must have designated spaces with easy access."
Mr. Goldfarb contended that Mr. Allison would still be able to obtain the kind of parking he wanted: "I'm assuming the kind of parking you want will always be available at a price."
After the Planning Board reviews the amended ordinance, it will be returned to the Borough for review and final approval on November 9.
Alarm System Fees
In related news, Borough Council is looking to adopt an ordinance that would set the annual registration fee for residential fire alarms at $150, with a $300 additional fee if more than four false alarms came from the residence during the previous year. These charges would increase the Borough's annual revenue by approximately $60,000.
According to William Drake, a Borough fire official, there are approximately 185 alarm systems currently registered in the Borough. Out of those systems, he estimated that 25 generate more than four false alarms per year.
Councilman David Goldfarb suggested increasing the penalty fee from $300 to $500, as well as charging a $500 fee for residents who fail to register or renew an alarm.
Council agreed to these amendments, and will hold a public hearing on the ordinance at a meeting later this month before giving final approval.

That advice seems more specific to sites with updating content/articles/etc. None of that works so much for... say... an e-commerce site...

The following are not tricks but more or less some basic ideas of mine.
When talking about increasing traffic one has to focus on his target audience. That is like the first question that he has to find the answer to. What do readers of particular topics or consumers of particular services look for?
He could make his service, that offers whatever that is it offers, be the best one in the world according to his view. This doesn't mean, though, that he or his site will become successful or popular. Why? Cause his best ain't my best, your best or the customers' best.
My suggestion to anyone is to start analyzing his target audience very carefully before implementing any sorts of techniques. He has to try and find what keywords regular people use when they are searching for such services/products/topics on the Internet. He has to add quality content to his site (relevant with the original site content, of course) that will be built around these key phrases. And let's not forget that it is not just keywords here, that he has to focus on, it is the business model that he has to rearrange according to the needs his customers have.
It would also be a good thing if he focuses on being a "superstar" rather than being the average mediocre product or site. If everybody in this business go left he has to go right in order to get the desired attention and become remarkable in the eyes of people.
If he becomes that "superstar" in the eyes of the consumers of the particular product or service then he will more likely get noticed by others as well.
That's all from me on this topic. Hope to hear other inspiring ideas and thoughts.

Stars rally to stun Barons in OT
Down 3-0 and 5-1, the Texas Stars rallied for a 6-5 overtime victory over the Oklahoma City Barons to close out 2013 on Tuesday night.
Chris Mueller had a hat trick for the Stars including the final two goals of regulation -- tying the game with 1:17 to play. Colton Sceviour's league-leading 21st goal of the season was the winner 46 seconds into OT.
With Curtis Hamilton and Will Acton scoring twice apiece -- including a shorthanded goal for each -- the Barons grabbed a 5-1 lead midway through the second period, chasing starting Texas goaltender Cristopher Nilstorp by scoring five times on 18 shots.
Mike Hedden started the Stars down the comeback trail at 12:34 of the second before Texas scored three more times in the third period.
The Stars finished the game with a 41-25 advantage in shots, including 34-13 after the first period. Josh Robinson stopped all seven shots he faced in relief for his third win of the season. Richard Bachman made 35 saves for the Barons.

Jason Collins is out, and it's time to look to women's sports to see how to deal and what Collins' impact might be on a team that signs him.
The 12-year veteran NBA center made history on Monday when he became the first male athlete in one of America's "big five" sports (baseball, basketball, football, hockey, soccer) to come out as gay while still playing.
So what now? What do we as a culture learn from this? What can we do to maximize the positive impact that this can have on all of us? How should we as sports fans react?
Before we can answer those questions, we should recognize there's still another critical piece of history to be made here, stemming from the fact that Collins is a free agent. He's become the first male major pro athlete in America to come out while still playing. But which team is going to be the first to sign an openly gay player?
Collins is still a strong player who can come off the bench and give you 10 solid minutes of post defense—something that a lot of teams could use. But he also represents an opportunity for one team to say, "We want to be the ones. We want our coach, our guys, our executives, our fans to be the first in major American pro sports to support an openly gay player. We want our jersey to be the one that bears Jason's number 98—worn in memory of the year Matthew Shepard was brutally murdered for being gay."
One team is going to have to step up, take on the extra media and maybe deal with a few members of the dwindling minority who don't view LGBT people (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) as valuable contributors to society.
Now, there's a reason we need to use a lot of qualifiers to describe the barrier that Collins broke. He's the first male active athlete on an American major professional team sports to have ever come out. But over on the women's side of things, there's a very different sort of progress being made, and it's one that whichever team signs Collins could learn from.
WNBA No. 1 draft pick Brittney Griner also came out publicly in a Sports Illustrated interview just a few weeks ago. As a sports culture, we should take this chance to examine the media and attention around Collins and compare it with the media and attention (or lack thereof) around Griner.
The NBA is more popular than the WNBA, but Griner could very well be the best female basketball player in the world, and she could actually be more well-known than Collins. It's been fascinating to watch the media around both of these players' announcements and see what it reflects about our culture, our stereotypes and our assumptions about both male and female athletes.
Many female athletes have come out since Martina Navratilova became the first in 1981. Sheryl Swoopes. Amelie Mauresmo. Angela Hucles. Fans of women's sports are used to seeing some of their champions be gay women.
But it's certainly not true that there's no anti-gay sentiment in women's sports. Talk to any female athlete and she will tell you that homophobia is quite prevalent, especially at the college level where it's often used as a recruiting tool against certain schools. ("You don't want your daughter to go there; that team is a bunch of lesbians.")
There is a lot of work to be done in that arena too, and it gets far less attention in the media than it deserves. And the only way to move forward is to start thinking of these players as people, not as political statements.
In order for us to look beyond stereotypes, we need to hear the voices of LGBT athletes and their teammates. We need to listen to Jason Collins, not just talk about him.
We need to listen to and learn from people like Griner, Fallon Fox, Megan Rapinoe, Orlando Cruz, Sarah Vaillancourt and Liz Carmouche. We need young athletes to hear their voices and the voices of athletes who felt they couldn't come out until they had stepped away from the game, like Wade Davis, Robbie Rogers, John Amaechi, Esera Tuaolo and Billy Bean.
The fact of the matter is, if you have ever played organized team sports at any level, then you have competed with or against a gay player. You may not have known it, and they might not even have known it, but they were there.
How many of those young athletes are still playing and hiding their true selves? How many quit their respective sports because they didn't feel like they would be accepted? For every young Jason Collins who does grow up and play in the NBA, how many gave up because they felt the league wouldn't support them?
The NBA has sent a clear message that Collins and any other gay players do and will have their full support.
But assuming Collins does sign somewhere, his presence in the NBA will have the most impact if nothing out of the ordinary happens at all. Collins can do the most good by coming into every game, grabbing a few boards, committing a bunch of fouls, hitting a layup or two, maybe blocking a shot and basically giving his team a post presence when its starting center rests. Then sitting back down. Same as he's done for the last six or seven years.
He doesn't need to bring a podium to halfcourt and lecture about marriage equality or the need for anti-discrimination laws. He just needs to play his game, and we just need to hear what he has to say about his experience and get to know him as a person. That's all.
That will send the most powerful message of all. His next team will bolster him. His teammates will support him. His team's fans will cheer him.
Yes, there will be a few anti-gay hecklers in the stands. But if Collins handles himself well (which I believe he will) and the league and individual teams take action when necessary to tell fans that slurs are not welcome in their stadiums (which I believe they will), then countless young male athletes will be introduced to a brand new definition of the term "champion"—one that fans of women's sports have known for decades.

In an explosive allegation, a former Los Angeles police detective who worked on the investigation into the '96 murder of Tupac Shakur claims the rapper was gunned down at the behest of hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs.
In excerpts cited in L.A. Weekly, Greg Kading writes in his book Murder Rap that a Southside Crips gang member named Duane "Keffe D" Davis claims he was paid $1 mil to kill Shakur and his friend, former Death Row CEO Marion "Suge" Knight, at Combs' behest. Combs "took me downstairs," Davis is quoted as saying, "and he's like, 'Man, I want to get rid of them dudes.' "
