X Window System Administration
When the X Window System was first released, many complained that the system was big, slow and complicated. My first experience with X was installing one of the earliest releases available for Intel hardware on my 386 running UNIX with 4MB of RAM and an 80MB hard drive. The installation took up most of the drive, and X ran so slowly (with much thrashing of virtual memory) that it was simply unusable. I quickly decided to remove it from my system and went on to "real work".
However, I got a taste of what X was like and appreciated how the developers took the "high road" in their design. They combined a high degree of versatility and a client-server architecture, at the noticeable expense of performance on what is now generally considered to be archaic hardware.
Today, most computers running Linux have more than sufficient hardware resources to run X with good performance, so running X on an inexpensive desktop system is commonplace. Now that we've all got X running on our desktops, the next hurdle is configuring X and customizing it to meet our needs.
I will start out by presenting a brief description of how X is structured and how the parts interoperate. Once you know this, it will be much easier to make sense of the implementation details.
One of the most basic facts to be aware of is that X is not part of the kernel. Unlike other operating systems, where applications make requests to put up windows, menus, et al., to the operating system API, X is entirely contained in user space, running as ordinary processes. These processes are classed into two groups: client processes and server processes.
The job of the X server is to handle the interface to the hardware (graphics adapter, keyboard and mouse) and a few additional low-level services such as drawing, color allocation, event handling, inter-client communication and managing a resource database of user preferences.
Clients communicate with the X server through the X protocol, which can be run over interprocess communication (IPC) on one system, or between systems using TCP/IP. This allows an X client to run on one system and use the display, keyboard and mouse on another. Yes, it is even possible to run an X protocol over the Internet.
For example, if I use TELNET to access my ISP and run the command xeyes, the program will start up and display a window on my Linux system. The program seems to be running locally, even though it is actually running on the remote system and just using my system for the display. The way this works is that the remote system is running xeyes, while the client (requesting services) and my Linux system are running the X server (which fulfills the client's requests). This, of course, requires that my system be set up to allow it; I use the xhost command to allow my ISP's system to use the X server on my system. Also, the $DISPLAY environment variable in my TELNET session must be set correctly (see below). I am using this example only as a demonstration; if you want your system to be secure, you will probably not want to allow people to access your X server from an outside network. One trick used by crackers is to put up an invisible window covering your display that catches all keyboard input, including passwords.
Each display is handled by one server process, but many clients can use a display at the same time. One of the most fundamental client types is the window manager, which allows the user to manipulate windows. A window manager performs actions such as drawing "decorations" around windows (borders, title bars and buttons), and provides functionality such as pop-up menus and the iconization of running clients. Desktop environments such as KDE and Gnome are implemented as user-space X clients, as are all other applications that run under X. These applications can be of any level of complexity, from xlogo to Netscape Navigator.
In the remainder of this article, I will cover some basic X Window System administration. A full treatment would take a whole book, so I'm going to discuss only what I consider the most important points for the novice X administrator. For the most part, I will assume you have X already configured and running. I will skip over advanced topics such as security and running X over a network (on X terminals or remote systems) as much as possible. This article covers XFree86, which comes with most Linux distributions. If you are running a commercial X server, you may want to skip the section below on configuring the X server, but the rest of the material covered is independent of the server you are using.

Kneebody has had many labels thrown at it, but none seem to fit. That said, the members of the transcontinental quintet (whose new album, Low Electrical Worker, is due next month) haven't exactly gone out of their way to make it easy for folks to pin down their shapeshifting sound. Thanks to a system of musical cues they've developed that allows each player to tweak nearly any element of any given song -- be it volume, orchestration, tempo or key -- the act's arrangements change constantly and zigzag through various vibes and moods. We asked trumpeter Shane Endsley to give Kneebody's chameleon-esque style a name and to explain how he and his bandmates cue-municate with each other.
Westword: Say you're talking with someone who's never heard you guys before. How do you describe exactly what you do?
Shane Endsley: Well, if I have to give a quick answer, the thing that I've been saying is "electro-acoustic instrumental music." I try to avoid the stylistic references. A lot of times, we've been labeled as funk jazz or fusion or post-jazz -- all these different things. But nothing seems to ring well. So I've been saying electro-acoustic instrumental music. And hopefully that covers it.
7 and 9 p.m. Thursday, February 22, Dazzle, 930 Lincoln Street, $12, 303-839-5100.
I was reading about how you use musical cues, which I think you borrowed from Steve Coleman, right?

Yeah, he's one of the guys I played with. He would do a couple of things. He had something that he would play for stopping the band and for changing tempo; there would be little things like that that would happen. That's more of a direct influence. But it's the kind of thing bands have been doing for a long time. Like, every band has its own language of cues for when it's the last time, or when you're going to vamp and all that stuff.
With our stuff, we're just starting to think about it and trying to expand it into this, like, whole system that would encompass any element of the music you would desire to shift at any point if you were thinking as a producer or an arranger-type head. So now we've expanded it so that anybody can cue the music. It doesn't have to all come from one person. And it can change anything, like volume, or the orchestration, or the tempo, the key -- just trying to cover everything. Like if you're on a vamp and want to cue chord changes, can you do that somehow? So there's, like, twenty of them.
I also read that when you guys compose stuff, you don't actually write anything down. So it's all pretty much by memory?
Well, whoever wrote it usually has his sketch, so they can refer to it if we forget parts. But we don't take the time to write lead sheets, usually, or parts, because we don't use them. So usually someone has his little sketchpad, and they're teaching the thing to everybody, one at a time. And then we try to learn each other's part so that hopefully we can switch. As much as we can, we try to get the music more and more modular.

Sacramento River Cats
Season Record: 25-24
Notable Performances for the Week of 5/22-5/28:
Daric Barton: This week will likely be remembered mostly as the week where the A's top prospect was injured in a freak collision with Tony Womack at first base. Barton fractured a bone in his left elbow (glove hand) on 5/23 and will be out at least six weeks.
Hiram Bocachica: 9-19, 6 R, 2 2B, 2 HR, 7 RBI, 1 BB, 0 K, 2 SB. Bocachica's return to the River Cats was an outstanding one, as the utilityman came out swinging. He homered in his first at-bat and was a catalyst for the Sacramento offense all week. Bocachica has played in only nine games thus far (four for Stockton in a rehab assignment) and he has driven in nine runs.
Charles Thomas: 8-16, 3 R, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K. Thomas raised his average nearly 30 points to .307 with an outstanding week at the plate. He isn't hitting for much power this season, but Thomas has been making good contact and getting on-base at a good clip (.358). His defense in center has been tremendous.
Keith Ginter: 12-22, 6 R, 3 2B, 1 HR, 13 RBI, 3 BB, 0 K. Ginter is quietly putting together a strong rebound season. With his performance this week, the former A's second baseman raised his average from .271 to .310. He is hitting .346 with 20 RBI in 21 games in the month of May and is destroying left-handed pitching at a .324 clip. If Mark Ellis, Marco Scutaro and Antonio Perez continue to struggle offensively for the A's, Ginter could become an option again later in the season.
Jason Perry: 4-10, 2 R, 2 2B, 1 RBI, 0 BB, 3 K. After collecting only one hit in his first 26 AAA at-bats, Perry has collected a hit in each of his last three starts and is 4-10 with those two doubles. Although the River Cats outfield is somewhat crowded with Thomas, Bocachica, Doug Clark and Brian Stavisky, Perry should continue to get some at-bats if he can show improvement like he did this week. A .400 hitter at AA isn't going to hit under .200 at AAA for long.
Jason Windsor: 2 GS, 2 W, 11 IP, 11 H, 1 R, 0 HR, 2 BB, 12 K. The Windsor watch continues, as the former Cal State Fullerton star put up two more outstanding starts this week. Windsor has not found the AAA transition to be very difficult, winning all four of his starts and allowing only five runs in 22.1 innings pitched. He has an outstanding K:BB ration (22:5) and has given up only one homerun. Windsor has been especially effective at AAA with runners on-base (.211 BAA) and runners in scoring position (.192 BAA).
Jason Karnuth: 4 G, 4 SV, 4.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K. Karnuth was nails this week, as he closed out four of the River Cats' five wins. He leads the team with nine saves this season and he is holding opposing batters to a .222 BAA.
Midland Rockhounds
Season Record: 27-23
Notable Performances for the Week of 5/22-5/28:
Jed Morris: 14-30, 4 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 2 K. Morris raised his average from .279 to .337 with a red-hot week at the plate. The catcher has been forced to play some out in right-field because the Rockhounds are thin on outfielders, and he has shown a good arm out in right. He is currently riding a nine-game hitting streak. Morris is 20-48 at the plate in games in which he has started at catcher this season.
Kevin Melillo: 9-29, 6 R, 3 2B, 3 BB, 2 K. Melillo had a hit in all but one game for the Rockhounds this week and he has scored a run in seven out of Midland's last nine games. Melillo is hitting .269 on the year, which is ahead of his pace from last season, when he was hitting .252 on May 28 for Kane County. Melillo would catch fire starting in June and would never look back last season. Melillo leads all AA second basemen in fielding percentage and has made only one error this season.
Travis Buck: 8-29, 3 H, 1 2B, 1 3B, 4 RBI, 5 BB, 6 K, 1 SB. Buck has continued to show little growing pains with the adjustment from high-A to AA pitching. He is now hitting .303 in AA with an 819 OPS. He has seven extra-base hits in 16 games for Midland and has hit safely in all but three of his AA contests. Buck's strikeout totals are a little higher at AA, but otherwise, he has been hitting with the same authority as he did earlier in the season with Stockton.
Vasili Spanos: 9-30, 2 R, 3 RBI, 4 BB, 4 K. Spanos got his average back over the .300 mark to .304 with four hits in his last 10 at-bats of the week. He got a lot of time out in the field this week, as he made five starts at third, one at first and one at designated hitter. Spanos leads the Rockhounds with a 943 OPS for the season.
Jared Burton: 3 G, 5 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 BB, 9 K. Most of Burton's numbers came in a marathon performance on Saturday, when he threw four innings of shut-out baseball in the Rockhounds' 14-inning win. He struck out nine in that game and helped give Midland a chance to pull it out in extras. On the season, the right-hander is holding batters to a .227 BAA and he has a 30:9 K:BB ratio.
Marcus McBeth: 3 G, 1 W, 1 SV, 6 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 6 K. McBeth was a workhorse for Midland this week, putting together a two-inning outing and a three-inning outing in addition to a traditional one-inning stint. McBeth has been very good at AA since his demotion from Sacramento with the exception of one outing where he allowed four runs in only one-third of an inning. If you take that outing out of his numbers, McBeth has allowed only one run in 10 innings for Midland. He is holding opposing batters to a .162 BAA in AA.
Stockton Ports
Season Record: 23-26
Notable Performances for the Week of 5/22-5/28:
John McCurdy: 7-18, 3 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 5 K, 1 SB. McCurdy is quietly hitting .283 for the Stockton Ports. He saw his playing time increase while Cliff Pennington was out with a hamstring injury and he hit well in Pennington's absence. McCurdy is currently working on a six-game hitting streak.
Richie Robnett: 6-23, 5 R, 3 2B, 2 HR, 2 RBI, 3 BB, 5 K. Robnett leads the Ports with seven homeruns this season. He is putting together a solid May. For the month, Robnett is hitting .272 with five homers in 23 games. He has also walked 14 times during the month. Robnett has been hitting left-handed pitching extremely well (despite being a left-handed hitter), hitting .319 versus southpaws for the season.
Cliff Pennington: 2-22, 3 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 SB. Pennington returned from a two-week absence caused by a sore hamstring and homered in his first game. Unfortunately, he wouldn't collect another hit until his fourth game of the week. That hit was a double, giving him two of his four extra-base hits for the season in one week. His stolen base was his seventh of the season.
Michael Rogers: 2 GS, 2 W, 13 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 2 HR, 2 BB, 11 K. Rogers is quickly becoming the ace of the Stockton pitching staff. He has now strung together eight straight starts of allowing two or fewer earned runs. For the season, Rogers' ERA is at 3.60 and he is at 2.10 for the month of May. He leads the team with five wins. Rogers' K:BB ratio is a particularly impressive 47:15. The 2004 second round pick is making a push for a mid-season promotion to AA after having been brought along slowly so far in his professional career.
Mike Mitchell: 3 G, 3 SV, 3 IP, 3 H, 1 R. 2 K. 0 BB. Mitchell has been racking up saves at a prodigious rate for the Ports since Marcus McBeth was promoted. Mitchell has saved games in each of his last five appearances and he has eight on the season. He is holding batters to a .226 BAA and he has yet to allow a homer. Mitchell has also shown pin-point control, walking only four in 25 innings while striking out 23. The 24 year-old has a 2.19 ERA for the season.
Kane County Cougars
Season Record: 30-19
Notable Performances for the Week of 5/22-5/28:
Jeff Baisley: 10-22, 11 R, 2 2B, 3 HR, 15 RBI, 4 BB, 4 K. Baisley has been arguably the best player on the A's best minor league affiliate thus far this season. He leads the A's system with 11 homeruns and 41 RBI. He also has a 973 OPS and has committed only two errors at the hot corner this season. Baisley has been particularly hot in May, batting .364 with six homers in 24 games. He became the first Cougar to hit three homers in a game in three years on Thursday when he took the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers deep for three. He also set a season-high in RBIs for a single game with six on Sunday versus Wisconsin.
Steve Kleen: 6-14, 4 R, 3 2B, 8 RBI, 5 BB, 1 K. Kleen bumped his average back above .300 for the first time since May 1 with a strong week at the plate. The Pepperdine alum is now hitting .313 in the month of May with 13 RBI in 25 games. He has also walked 14 times against 15 strikeouts in May.
Vince Mazzaro: 1 GS, 1 W, 6 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 HR, 2 BB, 3 K. After a rough patch during the first part of May, Mazzaro has settled down and has put together two solid starts in a row. The 19 year-old right-hander has allowed only two runs in his last 13 innings after giving up 15 in his previous 14.2 innings. He is 5-4 on the season.
Jason Ray: 2 GS, 2 W, 10 IP, 9 H, 4 ER, 1 HR, 6 BB, 9 K. Lost in the buzz surrounding the three teenaged Cougar starters has been the season of 21 year-old Jason Ray. Ray is 4-1 with a 3.66 ERA and 54 strikeouts in 46.2 innings for the Cougars this season. He is holding opposing batters to a .209 BAA for the season and a .190 BAA in the month of May. He has given up only one homer. Ray's walk totals are higher than one would like (28 on the season), but he has otherwise been outstanding in his first full professional season.
Jared Lansford: 1 GS, 1 W, 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 5 BB, 1 K. Another start, another almost no-hitter for Lansford. The Cougars' right-hander has been ridiculously difficult to hit so far this season, as he has been holding opposing batters to a .110 BAA and he has allowed only 10 hits in his first 30 innings of the season. Lansford has been particularly tough on lefties (.081 BAA) and he has allowed only one extra-base hit (a double). Lansford's only blemish so far this season has been his control. He has walked 16 against 13 strikeouts. However, he is keeping his pitch count low enough to get late into games and he has been near unhittable, so it isn't a cause for major concern at this point.

Two math teachers at a Minnesota school are using a flipped-classroom model to help their students work at their own pace and get extra help during class. Students log in to a website each week where they access their video assignments and then work on problems in groups during class. "Now with these new classes you have more time to look at the process of how kids are learning -- what they are doing, where and how they are messing up or not understanding," math teacher Tom Ahrendt said.

Online religion may be good for your soul but dangerous for your computer, according to a new report.
The study by Symantec, a company that sells computer-security software, finds websites devoted to religion or other ideologies to be the ones most targeted by malicious hackers.
c. 2012 Religion News Service SALT LAKE CITY (RNS) If you suspected the newly released U.S. Religion Census overstated the Mormons' growth rate, you were right. That's because, this time around, the Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints changed the way it reported its membership to the researchers.
When the Vatican announced a doctrinal crackdown on the leadership organization representing most of the 57,000 nuns in the U.S., the sisters said they were "stunned" by the move. Many American Catholics, meanwhile, were angry at what they saw as Rome bullying women whose lives of service have endeared them to the public.
c. 2012 Religion News Service VATICAN CITY (RNS) Under new rules announced on Wednesday (May 2), the Vatican will more closely oversee the operations of Caritas Internationalis, a global confederation of 162 national Catholic charities.
Despite emotional protests and fierce lobbying from gay rights groups, United Methodists voted to maintain their denomination's stance that homosexual acts are "incompatible with Christian teaching"—an expected outcome as the denomination becomes increasingly international in membership.
c. 2012 Religion News Service (RNS) Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput announced Friday (May 4) that five priests accused of sexually abusing children last year would be barred from ministry and could be defrocked, while three others were cleared by a church-led investigation and could return to pastoral work.
c. 2012 Religion News Service CHICAGO (RNS) Mitt Romney may or may not become the first Mormon to move into the White House next year, but a new study shows that Mormonism is moving into more parts of the country than any other religious group, making it the fastest-growing faith in more than half of U.S. states.

Some scattered reflections on what turned out to be a rather tremendous afternoon of college hoops (Cory Joseph bobbleheads sold separately):
Gonzaga gets its much-needed win. Forget an NCAA tournament at-large bid. For now, Gonzaga just needed to see something positive happen on the basketball court. The Zags have been battered and bloodied by their brutal non-league schedule, going 5-5 in their first 10 games and losing to basically every competent opponent they have played. So this was a huge win, not only because it helps salvage Gonzaga's flagging at-large tourney hopes, but because sometimes you just need to see the ball go in the basket. With Steven Gray sidelined by back cramps, Gonzaga got a neutral-court win over an unbeaten and athletic top-10 team. Quality stuff, and just in time.
Illinois falls to ... wait, is that scoreboard right? You can be forgiven for not believing your eyes on this one, but there it is, plain as day: The 14th-ranked Fighting Illini did indeed fall to the 4-7 University of Illinois-Chicago Flames at the United Center on Saturday. It's rather remarkable, actually, because this UIC team is not a sleeper NCAA squad, or an undefeated-but-hard-to-gauge foe like Cleveland State. The Flames have a host of bad losses to their name, including one to Northern Illinois earlier this week. The Illini were, to this point, rolling right along. There were few causes for long-term concern regarding Bruce Weber's team before Saturday, though one involved the Illini's penchant for long two-point jumpers, statistically the least efficient shot on the court. Illinois needed to shoot more 3-pointers. The problem against UIC wasn't the attempts (18) but the makes (a mere four). I'm not sure you want to worry too much about Illinois going forward, because, hey, bad losses happen. But the Illini do have plenty of offensive improvements to make to ensure bad teams like UIC can't keep up with them on neutral floors this season.
Who's worried about the Kansas State Wildcats? No one likes Chicken Little, so I'll reserve the whole sky-is-falling routine for more dire circumstances. But it's probably time to be at least somewhat concerned with Kansas State's slow start. Against a Florida team that also had not proved much early in the season, the Wildcats stormed out to an early lead in Sunrise, Fla., only to follow it with one of the worst second-half performances you'll see all season. After halftime, the Gators shot 60 percent (15-for-25 from the field), which would have been nice enough on its own. But when you cause your opponent -- or your opponent causes itself, or some combination therein -- to shoot 6-for-28 and score a mere 21 points in 20 minutes, 60 percent shooting might as well be 100. Frank Martin's team led 23-8 at one point and then totally broke down in this one. At this point you have to wonder whether K-State isn't just playing poorly, but whether it's not nearly as good as we all assumed this offseason. There's still plenty of time to figure all this out, and plenty of time for the Wildcats to change their season's trajectory again. But for now, games like Saturday's are disconcerting.
Everyone wins in Greensboro. How does everyone win in a basketball game, exactly? When the better team wins, but both teams compete at a high level, show noticeable improvement and improve their standing in front of an eager college hoops public. Both Texas and North Carolina performed as such Saturday. The young and talented Longhorns got what was essentially a road win in a hostile environment. The young and talented -- but oftentimes confused -- Tar Heels played a quality opponent to the wire, got key contributions from Harrison Barnes (especially a pretty last-minute 3 to tie the game, just before Cory Joseph's jumper gave Texas the win) and Kendall Marshall. Marshall's big play is especially encouraging for a team that has lacked consistency at the point guard spot. At this point, though he may do so like a reluctant father buying his teenage son a car, Roy Williams needs to the keys over to Marshall and see whether he's ready to drive. That may or may not be a mixed metaphor. The important part is that it's true. When he does so, UNC appears to be the second-best team in the ACC, and we would not have said as much two weeks ago.
Other games and performances of note: Michigan handled that tough Oakland team in Ann Arbor. We might need to start giving the Wolverines a little more attention as a potential NCAA tournament team out of the Big Ten ... Jared Sullinger again went nuts, scoring 30 points and grabbing 19 rebounds in a performance that caused our own Doug Gottlieb to call Sullinger the best player in the country. At this point, who else has done more? ... BYU lost its unbeaten record, falling to UCLA at the Wooden Classic in Anaheim, as the Bruins' thus far schizophrenic season took another strange (but encouraging) turn ... Georgetown shot 78 percent (!) in the first half against Loyola (Md.) ... Josh Selby's first game as a Jayhawk was a tempered success: Selby scored with ease and hit big shots down the stretch, but his style seemed to clash with KU's pass-heavy system in a tight home win over USC ... UCF stayed unbeaten with a win over Miami, and it's officially time to start calling the Knights a NCAA-tourney candidate ... and Cleveland State, playing in its first "Are they real or not?" game of the season, was dealt a loss at West Virginia, but the Vikings acquitted themselves well until the Mountaineers pulled away in the second half. Their games against Butler in the Horizon League will be fun to watch.

Apple Tax Bill Overstated to Investors
Apple Inc. AAPL 0.78 % 's real tax bill isn't as big as the one it reports to its investors.
Among the findings of an investigation by the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations are figures that show Apple's reported taxes substantially exceed the sum it actually pays the U.S. Treasury.
One factor: Apple uses a conservative approach to accounting for taxes on its overseas earnings. It has been setting aside billions of dollars a year in provisions against possible taxes on income that it earned abroad. But those taxes wouldn't be due until Apple brought the funds home to the U.S., something Chief Executive Tim Cook said he has no intention of doing.
Thus, the provisions have the effect of making the tax liabilities that Apple discloses to investors look bigger than what it is likely to pay, said a person familiar with the Senate probe.
A person familiar with Apple's finances said it is merely taking a conservative approach in providing for possible taxes on some of its overseas income. The cash taxes the company paid to the U.S. Treasury came to nearly $6 billion for the year that ended in September, a sum Apple said probably makes it one of the country's biggest taxpayers. Apple reported $55.8 billion in pretax income for that year.
Many U.S. companies pay less in taxes than they disclose to investors because of accounting rules. But, in recent years, Apple's payments to the U.S. Treasury have run well below the tax liabilities the company discloses to investors, and the gap is getting wider, according to the subcommittee's report on its lengthy examination of Apple's tax practices.
"While legitimate reasons may exist for differences between a corporation's financial statements and its tax returns, the Subcommittee found large and growing differences in each of the three years it examined with Apple," the report said.
The discrepancy highlights how difficult it is to get a fix on exactly what companies pay the Treasury at a time of heavy debate over corporate-tax policy in Washington.
The debate was rekindled this week after the subcommittee reported Apple had managed legally to avoid paying taxes in any jurisdiction on billions of dollars in overseas earnings—something senators said they had never seen before.
U.S. companies tell investors what they expect their taxes to be, but what they ultimately pay the Internal Revenue Service is confidential. Apple, however, disclosed those cash payments to the Senate subcommittee.
According to the subcommittee's report, Apple told investors it had set aside $6.9 billion for federal taxes in the year ended in September 2011, but it paid just $2.5 billion to the Treasury. A year earlier, it set aside $3.8 billion but paid just $1.2 billion.
Tax benefits from stock-based compensation accounted for much of the difference in 2011, Apple said in a filing. But the provisions for overseas earnings also played a role.
The U.S. takes the unusual approach among developed countries of taxing all of its companies' global earnings. But companies aren't generally required to provide for or pay taxes on profits earned by overseas subsidiaries as long as company executives deem the funds to be permanently reinvested overseas.
Apple holds about $102 billion at its foreign units. "I have no current plan to bring them back at the current tax rate," Mr. Cook, the Apple CEO, said during about two hours of testimony in a Senate hearing Tuesday.
After reviewing Apple's securities filings, Jennifer Blouin, an accounting professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, said the company appears to be setting aside, but not immediately paying, taxes for a portion of its overseas earnings. That makes it appear to investors that Apple is paying more taxes than it is.
"Their tax rate looks a lot higher than it would," Ms. Blouin said. "Their cash effective tax rate is something substantially lower than that."
Ms. Blouin said it is difficult for outsiders to know, based on Apple's financial statements, why the company is setting aside taxes it likely will never pay. One effect of the provisions is that they have damped Apple's earnings at a time of rapid growth, she said.
Calculations by Ms. Blouin and The Wall Street Journal of Apple's financial statements suggest the company might have been able to reduce its tax provision—and increase its net income—by roughly $5.8 billion if it hadn't set aside the additional taxes on foreign earnings.
"Could that be some kind of earnings smoothing?" Ms. Blouin asked.
A person familiar with Apple's finances said the company doesn't use accounting gimmicks.
Jack Ciesielski, publisher of the Analyst's Accounting Observer, said he wasn't persuaded by the Senate report that Apple is overstating its taxes in its financial statements. Investigators shouldn't have compared Apple's fiscal 2011 tax provision of $6.9 billion with its cash tax payments of $2.5 billion, he said. Instead, investigators should have excluded the $3 billion in federal tax provision that Apple classified as deferred, he said.
Mr. Ciesielski said the difference between Apple's $3.9 billion of "current" federal taxes and its $2.5 billion cash payment in fiscal 2011 could be explained by its $1.4 billion in uncertain tax provisions. Those are credits and deductions that a company has claimed on its tax return but that it believes tax authorities may ultimately reject.
"It's leaving themselves some wiggle room in case something they've taken a deduction for doesn't fly," Mr. Ciesielski said.
U.S. companies are estimated to have accumulated more than $1.9 trillion of earnings in offshore subsidiaries, according to Audit Analytics, a number that is growing at a rate of 8% a year.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has pressed companies to disclose how much tax they would owe if those funds were transferred to the U.S. parent. The idea is to give shareholders a better picture of how much cash would be available if the funds were repatriated.

The Point (Stop #14)
I list this area in 'Off the Beaten Path' because I'm always surprised how many visitors don't take the walk under the railroad trestle out to "The Point". The Point is the junction between the Potomac (on left) and the Shenandoah (on right) Rivers. You look down river (the Potomac) towards Washington. The view is much the same as it was in the 1860's. All of the visible high ground is owned by the park and preserved in it's natural state.
The Potomac River cuts through the Blue Ridge Mountains at this point. The Maryland Heights (on the left) and the Loudon Heights (on the right) are the disjointed pieces of the Blue Ridge. Three states are visible from this point. Maryland (the river and lands to the left), Virginia (Short Hill Mountain downriver on the right) and West Virginia, Loudon Heights (near ridge on the right).

Storer College
During the Civil War, Harpers Ferry became one of many Union garrison towns where runaway slaves, or "contraband," sought refuge. Following the Civil War, New England Freewill Baptist missionaries acquired several vacant Armory buildings on Camp Hill and, in 1867, started Storer College, an integrated school designed primarily to educate former slaves but open to students of all races and both genders. Frederick Douglass served as a trustee of the college, and delivered a memorable oration on the subject of John Brown here in 1881.
Today, the school grounds are used by the National Park Service operates the Stephen T. Mather Training Center developing programs to improve the skills of employees. Located on the grounds is the National Park Service's Harpers Ferry Design Center. The Design Center creates the video and audio programs for all the national parks, as well as museum exhibits and trail information.

Green groweth the holly,
So doth the ivy.
Though winter blasts blow never so high,
Green groweth the holly.
As the holly groweth green
And never changeth hue,
So I am, ever hath been,
Unto my lady true.
As the holly groweth green
With ivy all alone
When flowers cannot be seen
And greenwood leaves be gone,
Now unto my lady
Promise to her I make,
From all other only
To her I me betake.
Adieu, mine own lady,
Adieu, my special
Who hath my heart truly
Be sure, and ever shall.

Giornico boasts an outstanding historical heritage. Among its attractions are its vineyards and a small island in the Ticino river. This island can be reached by two small Romanesque bridges. There are also many churches in the village, the best known of which is the remarkable Romanesque church of San Nicolao. Six other churches are also interesting, in particular the church of Santa Maria del Castello (currently sluice to the public) with the vestige of an old fortress, and the parish church of San Michele. Some interesting houses are also to be found in the village, among them the «Casa degli Stanga», with its fascinating frescoes. This house is nowadays the site of the ethnographic museum of Leventina. A more recent construction worth mentioning is the «Congiunta», where some contemporary sculptures are exhibited. Among the historic monuments is the Monument of the Battle of Giornico («Monumento della battaglia di Giornico»), created by the sculptor Apollonio Pessina from Ligornetto and erected in 1927 in memory of the battle of the people of Leventina and the Swiss Confederates against the Milanese troops.
Recommended period: april - october
Places along the route: Torre di Attone - Monumento dei Sassi Grossi - Museo «La Congiunta» - Chiesa di S.Maria del Castello - Chiesa di S.Nicolao – Chiesa di S.Michele - Casa Stanga (Museo di Leventina)

Business Aviation Caterers
As business jet owners and operators began cutting flight hours and expenses during the recession, the caterers who serve the industry were among the first to feel the effects.
Some announced layoffs, reduced hours, less-costly half-portion dishes and menus that were custom-designed to meet customers' budgets. Some stopped serving the business aviation community. Still others simply closed up shop.
In recent months, industry associations have noted a slow yet steady increase in the number of monthly flight hours, as well as a climb in charter activity. That's good news for caterers, though many business jet owners and operators appear to still be keeping a tight rein on budgets, giving up the exotic fruit platters and the Lobster Thermidor.
That doesn't mean you can't still find those dishes-or just about anything else you want. Plenty of first-rate caterers continue to serve the business aviation field, as our directory of the top bizav caterers suggests.

Can't find Hoya HMC Japan UV(O) filters?
Aug 3, 2014
I was going to buy a HMC UV(O) Japan filter in 72mm for the sigma 18-35mm 1.8, but can't find them in stock. I see alot of these UV(C) ones that are made in the phillipines instead. Were these all made as replacements? There's also a "skylight" HCM UVO, but I don't know what that is. Seems like it removes blue from the pictures.
There are other colored ones, ND filters, and polarizers, but no plain clear ones made in japan that I can find. What's the deal with that?

In the case of the Ferrania Solaris Chrome, it is an epic turnover in the current photo film industry.

This is a great start. I love Maura's vulnerability and how she hatched the plan to go home with Jane. They really are too adorable for words. I love how Jane goes through all the signs Maura was trying to give her and pulls Maura to her in the end of the chapter saying "you're breaking my heart." Can't wait for more!

Great start! I definitely like where this is headed. It is fun to speculate how they would get together and who would make the first move. Looking forward to more!

When i was a youngin, my mum, Suzie, drove us around everywhere in a little bright green gemini, named aptly 'Suzie's Tree frog"
Her tenpin bowling league team name was 'The tree frogs'
and she adores frog sculptures, bric a brac…anything frog related!
I grew up surrounded by cute lil froggies everywhere lol..
even had some pet ones for awhile, but they didnt get along too well with our tortoise :)
My mum, Suzie, She was very inspirational in the making of this piece.
Plus also, Kristina (my aunt) has mentioned that she likes frogs, and the colour purple, which also influenced this piece, as I wanted it to be something Kristina would like, and compliment her gorgeous photograph misty sunset
created in ps

thankyou for taking the time to view my art and (hopefully) comment…

Trend Watch: Braised Short Ribs
Short ribs typically come from the ribs on the underside (the "plate") of the cow or steer. They are meaty and have a good amount of fat and connective tissue, making them an excellent choice for long braises. Since most short ribs are cooked on the bone, we get another bonus from the bone marrow. This cooks out during braising, giving you one of the richest and most unctuous sauces you've ever made. With short ribs, it seems like you get all the benefits of a tender cut like sirloin or rib eye, but with the added advantage that they can be braised. It's the best of both worlds, and maybe this is why they've become so popular lately. Here are a few recipes that we've recently seen and drooled over: • Gourmet's Stout-Braised Short Ribs reviewed right here at the Kitchn! • Root Beer Braised Short Ribs from the Miami Herald, 1.8.09 • Braised Short Ribs with Potato Puree, Swiss Chard, and Horseradish Cream from Smitten Kitchen, 12.23.08 • Braised Hoison Beer Short Ribs with Rosemary White Bean Puree from the Bitten Word, 1.7.09 • Cocoa-Braised Short Ribs with Chestnut Puree and Red Wine Gravy from the Chicago Sun Times, 12.17.08 • Braised Chili-Spiced Short Ribs with Black Beans from Gourmet, 2.09 Are you new to this trend, or have you been loving short ribs for years?

Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?
Student : Yes.
Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
(Student was silent.)
Professor: You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, young fella. Is GOD good?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Is satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor: Where does satan come from ?
Student : From … GOD …
Professor: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor: So who created evil ?
(Student did not answer.)
Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them ?
(Student had no answer.)
Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)
Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.
Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)
Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class was in uproar.)
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class broke out into laughter. )
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Professor: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.
I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you'll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won't you?
By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.
