The following programs are funded by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund to produce radio programming and concerts to support the arts.
Butch Thompson's Road Show: Butch Thompson's Road Show educates listeners about the origins of jazz with live piano solos and narrative from one of the country's original jazz experts – Minnesota's own Butch Thompson. The show also aims to educate listeners about the origins of jazz through live solo concerts by Butch Thompson paired with other musicians from genres outside jazz. Each concert would be recorded for broadcast as part of the Butch Thompson's Jazz Originals series. The second year will include a dance element choreographed to classic jazz and original compositions.
Jazz at MPS:This program highlights the work of high and middle school band teachers and young artists, by using existing recordings from concerts and by bringing the students into the studio to record them playing their original work and music from the jazz lexicon. The students would learn about putting a radio show together by helping to make content decisions. They would also learn about writing arrangements for different combinations of musicians. And they will learn how to perform in a studio, which is very different from performing in front of a live audience.
Jazz Noir: Jazz Noir is an hour long radio show in the style of the CBS Radio Mystery Theater, teaming a Minnesota Writer/Playwright with a Minnesota Jazz Composer collaborating to originate a one-hour radio "Noir" drama elucidating a gritty and fascinating time in Minneapolis/Saint Paul/Minnesota history. The 2014 Radio Drama is The Black Hand Side That Feeds You, written by Award-winning playwright Christina Ham with a jazz score composed by John Penny.
MN Jazz Elders is a comprehensive look at the beginning of jazz in the Twin Cities, featuring jazz artists in their 80's and 90's who are still performing. The show will include a pieces performed live by these individuals and will include one on one interviews interspersed into the program. The program is intent on giving the history behind the beginning of jazz and also to honor our active musicians with telling their story to the community.
Minnesota Jazz Trax: A web stream dedicated to Minnesota jazz and jazz artists. This stream is a separate stream from our on-air service, but content from the stream would be featured on Monday nights on the radio. Content includes music, short form documentaries, and interviews.
Viva City: The Viva City Festival is an annual celebration that takes place in Minneapolis Public Schools every year. The festival gives the district an amazing opportunity to share and honor the art making that has been created with a large number of the student population. It has become an icon for the district and in 2014 we look forward to celebrating the festival's 20 years of existence. A broadcast of the "Best of Viva City" will be produced.
Twin Cities Presents: A weekly music show that covers a variety of genres. Each show features a Minnesota artist that will be performing in the Twin Cities the upcoming weekend. The show will include popular songs by the artist, mixed with drops from interviews. Also, fans will be interviewed on why they love this particular artists/group. Blog on website coincides with the piece.

BAICs Foton to Enter Australian Market with New 1-Tonne Pickup Truck
Wednesday, June 22, 2011 Categories: Australia, BAIC, China, New Cars |
The Australian pickup truck market will soon welcome a new player in the 1-tonne segment, courtesy of Chinas ever-growing automotive industry. Beiqi Foton Motor Co. Ltd, more commonly referred to as BFC or simply Foton, is a subsidiary of Chinas more widely known BAIC and will be represented in the country by Sydney based Australian automotive distributor, WMC Group.
The WMC Group secured the rights to distribute the Foton range of 4x2 and 4x4 utility vehicles with plans for the first vehicles to go on sale in Australia early next year. The Sydney based distributor said Australian Design Rule compliance and testing is currently underway and is due to be finalized within the next two months.
Fotons as of yet unnamed for the local market 1-tonne pickup truck model will be motivated by a Cummins ISF 2.8-liter Euro 5 common rail turbo diesel delivering up to 120kW of power and 380 Nm of torque, or a Foton manufactured 2.4-litre petrol engine matched to a Getrag five-speed manual or ZF six speed automatic.
WMC said it is planning a range of six model variants including a 4x4 dual cab diesel, a 4x2 dual cab diesel, and a 4x2 dual cab petrol as well as a 4x2 extra cab diesel and 4x2 single cab models with either diesel or petrol power.
The dual cab model has an overall length of 5,310mm (209-in.), width of 1,880mm (74-in.) and height of 1,810mm (71.2-in.) with ground clearance of 220mm (8.7-in.).
Fotons Australian distributor said the new Foton ute will be equipped with ABS+EBD along with dual front airbags, and it expects an ANCAP safety rating of at least 4-stars.
"Foton will be a game shifter in the ute sector delivering a sedan style interior on a wide body configuration boasting a full one tonne pay load and a three tonne towing capacity with power from Cummins, the world's largest and most experienced producer of diesel engines," said Jason Pecotic, managing director of WMC.
"Apart from those impressive specs the new Foton will be priced at a level that will be between 15 and 20 percent less than comparable models from Japanese manufacturers, making it a compelling proposition for buyers whether they are tradesmen, farmers, fleet operators or private buyers," Mr. Pecotic added.

The former Dubai expat allegedly threatened to publish naked pictures of his estranged wife
just sayin Thursday, 22 August 2013 7:36 PM - uae
very true Victory
That DM article is shocking in the extreme at how lenient he and the station were treated.
Reverse it in the UK and all hell would have started.
Monkey Tennis Thursday, 22 August 2013 7:34 PM - UAE
Can I be the first to congratulate Arabian Business on its successful transition into becoming the Gulf's version of the Daily Mail. It's been coming for some time now but I think you've finally got there. Well done, chaps.
Proud Brit Tuesday, 20 August 2013 8:59 PM - UAE
I honestly thought that Arabian Business readers would be slightly more intelligent, but these comments are no different than those on other crappy sites (which I will not mention). Of course, this is not AB's fault, I am merely commenting.
Not a real British man? Just because he holds their passport? 'British' with quotation marks? It seems that many of the readers are confusing the UK with GCC countries where citizenship isn't given to residents regardless of how long they live there.
Every country has its faults, and the UK certainly has them too. But reading this, I could not feel prouder of our legal system. Sure it may seem lenient to some of the readers here but it's called human rights people. Condemning someone for allegedly threatening to publish naked pictures to five years in jail? Wow.
Very proud of the UK - regardless of what anyone else says. It's called caring about your people, whether they are white or not.Wildwine Thursday, 22 August 2013 7:35 PM - UAE
@Victory, you may have point regarding UK's immigration policies, what they should / should not have done etc. It is a completely different discussion.
Even if the process is flawed (as you argue), that however does not mean the guy in the center of this drama is a non-Brit or a "lesser" Brit!!! Your Government issued a passport to him so he is as British as you are.
Doug Thursday, 22 August 2013 7:33 PM - UAE
@Victory - you didn't answer my question. I asked you what you thought the criteria for being British should be. I didn't ask why people came to Britain seeking citizenship; I asked you what defined someone as being 'British'. Why will you not answer this question?
With regards to crime, one report on a rogue preacher does not suddenly suggest Britain has been taken over by immigrants. You're right, I can't imagine someone in the Middle East 'getting away' with something similar, but that's largely because Britain has a tradition of permitting people to say and think what they want.
I'm also not entirely sure immigrants from 'the 3rd world' are responsible for all the crime and the welfare budget. The majority of people on welfare and in jail are white British, and the common excuse for why so many are on welfare is because apparently the foreigners have taken all the jobs. You can't have it both ways!Mark Renton Thursday, 22 August 2013 7:32 PM - UAE
@Victory, I see what the problem is - you're reading the Daily Mail. You will probably find yourself less prone to bouts of apoplectic rage about immigrants if you stop.....
@John, can you quote any reliable figures and sources for these slightly alarming assertions you have made? Last time I looked, immigrants were doing all the jobs that (as you call them) "native Brits" didn't want to do.....John Thursday, 22 August 2013 2:24 PM - UK
Look at the UK today, where immigrants from the 3rd world form majority of criminals and welfare seekers. How would you feel as a native Brit when you see immigrants come and turn safe towns to a haven of crime? If they are not into crime, they are on welfare while the native Brits work hard all day.Victory Thursday, 22 August 2013 12:55 PM - UAE
@ProudBrit @TerryMay @Doug - in case you are under any illusion of what is happening in the UK and it's pathetic PC approach, read the article in today's Daily Mail and let me know if you are now so proud! Wake up!
Can you imagine any one doing this in the Middle East if you flip the argument 180 degrees? It wouldn't be a slap on the wrist you would be getting either!Victory Thursday, 22 August 2013 11:06 AM - UAE
@Doug ....because people see a UK or US or French or German passport as a ticket to a better life, free education, housing and healthcare - they come not to be 'British' but for what the country has to offer. Economic migrants are different. The UK has lost the plot - immigration doesn't have to mean issuing passport, it can mean visa sponsorship etc. just like here in the sunny UAE. They have it right - the UK has not.
Victory Thursday, 22 August 2013 11:06 AM - UAE
@ Terry May (real name?)....am fully aware of the benefits but economic development of a nation doesn't have to resolve in a seismic change in the structure of that society. I am an economic migrant, I understand the rules of living as someone's guest. I also understand that i will never get a UAE passport or be called British Emirati - and do you know what - I am cool with that concept.
I am a home owner in the UAE, I got married here, my daughter was born here but still I understand that I will never get an Emirati passport and enjoy all the benefits that being an Emirati brings. I don't expect free education for my child or free healthcare for my family or social security for the periods when I haven't worked. Sadly too many people arriving in the UK (read about the swarms of newly annointed Europeans on their way!) have exactly this in mind - free everything and the tax payers and funding it.
This isn't an issue about black, white, brown or yellow - it is about fairness.Terry May Wednesday, 21 August 2013 2:43 PM - UAE
Victory: I suggest that you go and read up on the reasons for immigration and educate yourself. You clearly misunderstand the positive reasons behind the history of immigration and the development of a country.Doug Wednesday, 21 August 2013 2:42 PM - UAE
@Victory - let's leave aside the debate over immigration at the moment. I'm interested in your assertion that many 'non-Brits' hold a British passport. I'd be very interested to find out why you think someone with a British passport isn't necessarily British, and I'd be fascinated to find out what you think the criteria for becoming a British citizen (and thus holding a British passport) should be.
Because at the moment it seems to be a case of you think anyone who isn't white, can't be British.
Doug Tuesday, 20 August 2013 4:19 PM - UAE
There's a very simple solution to this problem.
If Mr Afsar had left the UAE and returned to the UK, and then allegedly committed the crime, that means the crime was carried out in the UK, not the UAE.
So all his wife has to do is pursue the case through the courts in the UK. No need for extradition, justice for both parties.
smartenough Tuesday, 20 August 2013 2:50 PM - uae
hahahaha total joke by the UK, and then they criticise the laws in the UAE. jolly good show Nigel
Saudi Tuesday, 20 August 2013 1:21 PM - Saudi Arabia
UK justice is a joke especially when refusing legitimate extradition requests and I've washed my hands from it a long time ago.
Say hi to abu qatada, and the countless dozens of "political asylum" seekers who fled the gulf and the larger Arab world and have blood in their hands. It gets better when these scum bags bite the UK government that fed them.Matt Williams Wednesday, 21 August 2013 3:41 PM - UAE
@ Saudi : Pot calling the kettle black..... Sorry! So one minute you take issue over the UK refusing extradition, to might I add a minority being that this guy is infact British Pakistani and the next minute you are accusing us of affording less rights to minorities. So which is it? As that last statement of yours is in direct contradiction to the first as surely we would under your odd logic be extraditing this guy as he is deemed to be a minority and therefore gets less rights!...But guess what! We aren?t!....If you are going to play the race card then at least check your previous comments!...
Aradabul Tuesday, 20 August 2013 11:16 AM - London
Me thinks he is wanted more on Financial situation than The wife
Ali Monday, 19 August 2013 4:50 PM - UAE
He is a dangerous criminal and the UK only shows it support of criminals by not extraditing him. And I dont get, he is not a true British man, why is the UK trying to help him so much?
Andy Monday, 19 August 2013 3:35 PM - USA
One can not deny that there is no prejudice in Dubai at the moment. The locals of which were pardoned from prison during Ramadan were supposed to have their debts settled. The non-locals which were owed money still have not been paid. This is prejudice and injustice. I hope the editors will post this without prejudice. Honesty is the best policy.
Peter Johnstone Monday, 19 August 2013 3:33 PM - Paris, France
Regardless of the fact that this man sounds like a completely pathetic piece of work, the fact remains that his concerns for receiving a fair trial in the UAE is completely legitimate. You can only applaud the UK authorities for blocking this extradition request.

The Role of Culture and Tradition in Laura Esquivel's "Like Water for Chocolate" and Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

Report this Essay
In today's well connected and wired world with the same brands and billboards dominating the skyline it is only every country's individual culture and traditions that are able to distinguish between them. Culture and traditions develop over a period of time. We learn of different cultures and traditions of different countries through their arts, food, lifestyle, traditional dresses and architecture. Most have developed over the centuries and are a reflection of their history. Both authors, though one writing a bittersweet love story and the other a political satire have based their stories on the culture of their native lands. Laura Esquivel, a Mexican bases her story on the fact that traditionally the family's youngest daughter remains unmarried and spends her life taking care of her mother. The story revolves around Mama Elena's youngest daughter, Tita. Mama Elena is the dictatorial owner of the De La Garza ranch and is determined to see that her family traditions are maintained, even if they result in mayhem and destroy her own daughter's happiness. Nobel Laureate Marquez's novel One Hundred Years of Solitude has been hailed by The times Educational Supplement as
"Garcia Marquez's hypnotic history of his Buendia family, founders of Macondo, a remote South American settlement, is a charged chronicle of fantasy and realism ..... Farce and laughter vein his world... Marquez is a poet nearly, a seer, an alchemist... a tour de force, enchanting, convoluted and barbarous."
This book is the family saga of the Buendia family and of the town they founded, Macondo. This book has also been hailed as the 'Bible of Macondo'.
Tita, protagonist of Like Water for Chocolate, is the youngest of Mama Elena's three daughters. She is born in the kitchen and is informally adopted by the family cook Nacha and grows up in the kitchen in the tradition of great chefs and she grows up to be a master chef. Food as we all can attest is one of the most basic of traditions and...

Well I bought an FAL out of curiosity and the price was right. It is an Argentine imported by S.A.C. I have figured out why the price is right though, the font sight is in the 12:30 position so I can't adjust the windage far enough to get zero. I know very little about FAL's and am wondering how to rectify this.
Also I would like to find some info on this flavor of FAL. Curious if all the parts are Argentine or if it was someones project.

(Solved) - Black screen on start up.(4 posts)
Hi hobart6080
Welcome to HTG...
First ask her try starting in SAFE mode, at starup gently tap usually F8 (but maybe F10 or another F Key)
She should get options to repair etc
Do tell her to be patient and let computer suss out the instruction, so many fail,when they push other keys too early.
hobart6080, Welcome. Is the caps lock blinking in a series or hear beeps when you power on the laptop? Can you see activities in hdd light? Try connecting it to an external monitor to test it is not an lcd screen failure.
Thanks for your suggestions. after trying things I decided to remove the battery and tried using straight power. The computer started up and I used safe mode and then restarted. The windows update kicked in and finished off what it started before the problem occured. Granddaughter omitted to tell me that updates were in operation when the screen went black. I seem to remember the same thing happening to me when windows was updating last year. Once again, many thanks.

Air Compressor Unloader Valve line keeps popping out...
The tube that goes inot the air unloader keeps popping out and air escapes. Unscrewed it re-aligned the tube with the brass thingy inside, screwed it back and .....turn on the compressor and....it pops out again? 21-gal upright oiled, 6 months outta warranty. Gotta be an easy fix? Anyone???
moving to garage-tools forum.
Just scrap the line and go down to the hardware store and get a new plastic line with some new brass ferrules and make sure that you get the little brass insert that goes INSIDE the line to support it when the ferrule is tightened. It sounds like the insert is missing and if that is the case even if the ferrule crimps properly on a plastic line it will simply collapse and slip out no matter how tight you get it if that insert is missing. The whole outfit will only cost about 4 or 5 bucks, maybe less.
When you say the insert is not completely round are talking about the ferrule or the insert that goes INSIDE the line? You should have a compression nut that screws to the fitting and that the tube goes through, a brass ferrule that the tube also goes through and is crimped by the the nut and a brass insert the size of the ID of the tube that slips INSIDE the tube to support it when the ferrule is crimped. Do you have all three pieces?
1)the plastic line (small) 1/8" dia???
2) it goes thru a small brass fitting that has threads on it
3) after that a small brass tapered fitting goes on the tip of the line and the very tip - it won't go past it. This is what I superglued onto the tip. So far it has worked.
4) then all I insert the line and (tip) into the valve line assemble and tighten #2 into it.
Before superglue just the plastic line would pop out and I would have to unscrew both brass fittings and start over.
Super glue will not hold forever and you have a part missing.
There should be a small brass tube 1/8" in OD and about 3/8" to 1/2" long (for a 1/8" ID plastic tube) with a lip formed on one end. This brass tube is inserted INSIDE the plastic tube to support it so that it will not collapse when the ferrule (the tapered brass part that slips over the OUTSIDE of the tube) is crimped by the nut that goes over the entire assembly, that is there are two brass pieces inside the nut besides the fitting it screws over. You really need to fix this thing right because if it fails and you don't notice it you very well could burn out the motor if it stalls while trying to start the pump with pressure on it. Besides the fitting that this is all attached to you should have,
1- A brass nut slipped over the line first.
2- A brass ferrule that slips OVER the line about 1/8" past the end of the tube.
3- A brass tube that slips INSIDE the plastic tube to support it.
If the ferrule will not slip past the end of the tube it is because it is already crimped and it is not going onto the tube far enough, these things are NOT REUSABLE! Once the nut has been tightened onto this part it must be discarded and replaced with a new one but even if you can get it farther onto the tube it still probably will not hold. This is because no matter how much it crimps the plastic tube will simply collapse and slip out unless the brass insert that you are missing is in place to support it. These are VERY common and inexpensive items that you can easily find at any hardware store or plumbing supply.
Oldred is Right,......... You're Missing a part........
Another alternative is to Scrap the Plastic line,+ Replace it with Copper Tubing,.....
Then all you'll need is a couple of furrels,...... No Inserts needed......

NEW YORK, Monday —What warm weather we are having! Everyone in New York City looked ready to put on summer clothes. One nice thing about Washington Square is that it seems to make people feel that they are in the country and can go about country fashion.
Yesterday, after my meeting at International House, I went to the USO canteen run by the Jewish Welfare Board. It is a very comfortable place with plenty of room for dancing, games and food. It was crowded Saturday night and I thought the boys seemed to be having a very good time.
I was very glad to find my son, Franklin, Jr., much better yesterday morning. When he is full of new ideas, I can always tell he is beginning to feel himself again. They were bubbling over on every subject yesterday.
I arranged my books and found a duplicate copy of a very lovely edition of Bret Harte's "The Luck of Roaring Camp," so I took it over to him. He seized upon it at once to reread it, since it is many years since either of us read what both of us remembered to be a perfectly delightful story.
Franklin, Jr., has also been reading a life of Simon Bolivar and is fascinated by it. Bolivar certainly must have been a wonderful man and I am glad we are now learning to know heroes of South American history better.
I took the night train to New York City last night and went over to the Naval Hospital again this morning. Then I took a last look through the 65th Street houses to make sure that the things we want at Hyde Park have actually gone.
In the afternoon, I am attending a party at 99 Park Avenue to celebrate the giving of the one millionth free ticket for places of entertainment to the men in the Services. Under Mr. John Golden's leadership, his committee has obtained the cooperation of the various producers in New York City. They have given this tremendous number of tickets to make sure that the men coming to New York City will not spend lonely evenings.
It is a very great service, for if you have nothing to do in a city like New York, lounging around the streets isn't safe or entertaining. I am sure that similar plans have been carried out in all the other big cities in the country, but it had to be on a bigger scale in New York City than anywhere else. I am grateful to all these people of the theatre who have given so generously of their seats during these past months.

Wiring question for replacing compressor fan motor for a two ton Presidentiol Condensing Unit
The original 1/6 hp 230 VAC, 1 phase vertical shaft fan motor has only two wires attached to the Cutler-Hammer C258NB230T Series E Coil 24V 60 Hz Contactor, which also has the capacitor connected to it. The new motor the guy at Granger sold me has four wires. I'm assuming that the coil stays discharged while the motor runs, then recharges when it is off allowing it time to charge. I assume I must combine the four wires to be two. My questions are: Is my thinking correct? Does it matter which coil wire do I connect to which primary motor wire? I'm guessing it does, but I don't know how to choose whice wire to attach to gether.
I have a schematic in my album....check it out.:thumbsup:
What motor did grainger sell you?
What color are your 4 wires?
Green would wire to the unit body or ground.

We urge people to reach for the stars, on Wall Street they urge reach for your pockets.
There is never a single path in life.
I must surpass who I am to be human.
We inhabit an America devoid of any ideology except for "I."

Joyous sight, child reading a book.
Our tummy is an inefficient part of our body.
One can not teach the "hard work"ethic.
Some think of others, some of self.
Some fear life, some fear fear and some are fearless.
Some wipe face as they eat, others wait until finished.

CHAPEL HILL - Forward James Michael McAdoo's aggression began even before North Carolina took down Florida State 79-58 on Sunday.
Coming off an 11-point performance against Clemson on Thursday, the sophomore bounced back with 21 points on 10-for15 shooting by afternoon's end against the Seminoles. And it all started with a positive pre-game attitude.
"I felt really confident coming into this game and really just felt a good vibe, even during warmups," McAdoo said. "Just coming off of that game at Clemson where I didn't feel like I played very well, God is good and my shots were able to fall early."
The Norfolk, Va., product's aggression came quick for the Tar Heels. Getting out early and running the court, McAdoo steered North Carolina with 17 points before the break and put up one of his most impressive halves all season.
With a one-handed slam and back-to-back alley oops just a few plays later, the preseason All-America even showed some rare emotion in his performance.
McAdoo's emotion - and the success that stemmed from it - was also infectious for the rest of the Tar Heels. Collectively, the team shot 55.4 percent in the effort, the highest shooting percentage UNC has seen since Nov. 21 against Chaminade.
Fellow starters Reggie Bullock and P.J. Hairston scored 20 and 16 points, respectively, as the trio - which Hairston referred to as a "triple-barreled gun" - combined for nearly 60 points.
"I definitely feed off of it, seeing (McAdoo) get out in transition, steal the ball, go down and get an and-one dunk," Bullock said. "Just seeing the emotion on his face - he really doesn't show that much emotion. When he definitely gets into the game, get him involved and everybody in the starting five definitely feeds off it."
Head coach Roy Williams credits some of McAdoo's recent success to the insertion of Hairston into UNC's starting lineup. With the ability to spread the floor and stretch the defense, Williams said Hairston's starting spot allows McAdoo to drive to the basket more often.
"10 for 15 - I want him to do that every game," Williams said. "The bottom line is that he knows I want him to be aggressive, but you've got to make shots. 10 for 15, to do that when the defense is aimed to stop you is pretty doggone impressive."
And it seems McAdoo has been listening. The forward acknowledged Williams' push for aggression just a few minutes later, saying, "I just try to look at it and focus in on it.
"I knew I needed to play and I need to stop relying on my teammates. When me, Reggie and P.J. and everyone in the starting lineup have good games, we really do well. I don't want to have any regrets, so I just go out there and give it my all and plays just seemed to go my way."

In the comments to the last post, Luke Waterfield has supplied a plausible solution to the identity of "Foundation X", the mysterious and secretive organisation with unlimited funds that has held meetings with a Lord and a member of the British cabinet about investing in the UK.
Is "Foundation X" the "United Nations Office of International Treasury Control" a body which claims to be a "Sovereign Entity" formed after the end of the Second World War?
If you want to know more, they have a most informative video here. Iain M Banks fans will note a wry sense of science fiction humour in the choice of music.
Naturally, everybody linked to the actual United Nations denies any such body exists.
But as all conspiracy theorists know, that's a dead giveaway. Plausible deniability is important.
The UNOITC is run by a Dr Ray C Dam. However, as the UNOITC website makes clear, "Dr. Ray C. Dam is a person, but His Excellency Dr. Ray C. Dam is a certified and indemnified international Central Banking financial institution operating as The Office of International Treasury Control." So you've got to get the details right.
The similarities between "Foundation X" and "UNOITC" are notable.
"Foundation X" has Gold Bullion, and wants to invest in billions in economic reconstruction. So does the UNOITC. Additionally, there is mention of the gold standard in both accounts.
"Foundation X" is secretive and only wishes to discuss their proposals with extremely powerful people. The UNOITC has a similar sense of propriety, as can be seen by their unhappiness with the response they got from the Scottish Government when they offered help there.
But of course, it could be someone is trying to scam the UK government, in the disguise of the UNOITC, relying on the good name of that body for their own nefarious purposes (ahem). According to the UNOITC themselves, such unsavory business practices have been ongoing, and Governments must be watchful.
To be serious for a moment, UNOITC are a plausible candidate for "Foundation X". According to their Wikipedia entry, they have a history of making similar approaches to governments like Fiji, and even attempted to buy MG Rover for the familiar sum of £5 billion.
This was a significant over-valuation, so it's perhaps unsurprising that they did not prceed with that investment. Why do they seek to make such approaches? No-one knows.
If this is the case, it's rather sad that Lord James has been taken in by a pretty blatant and rather silly hoax. Lord James is, I'm sure, a decent man, and we all make mistakes. It would be wrong to overly mock a man with a distinguished career for making such a mistake late in life.
What's a little more disturbing is that this… misunderstanding, has led to representatives of this body gaining a meeting with a Cabinet minister and their proposal apparently leading to discussions with other ministers.
I don't doubt that Lord James is telling the truth when he says he was contacted by an FSA regulated financial institution. But if it's this body, I'm amazed that it wasn't immediately spotted as a hoax. or at the very least, a joke of some sort.
So how did it get so high up in government?
Perhaps Lord Strathclyde was acting out of simple good manners, trying to be sympathetic to a colleague. That's understandable. But to put yourself in a position where possible fraudsters get to meet with Cabinet Ministers is… unusual.
It's certainly on a par with that Australian fellow with the dodgy diet tea company!
In any case, I wonder what discussions Ministers have had over the activities of the UNOITC, and if the Government needs to be slightly more on guard against the activities of what you might call, in another tribute to Iain M Banks, the "Finance Culture Eccentric"

Tropical Storm Andrea Brings Seashells To Sanibel!
Tropical Storm Andrea blew through Southwest Florida this week without stirring up too much ruckus.. other than seashells and Beach Bling! It was a sheller's playground at Lighthouse Beach on Sanibel Island, Florida. Sara and Daren from Fort Myers were very happy Sanibel is practically in their back yard so they could drive over after the storm to find all of those seashells in the top photo by sifting through the shells at the water's edge.
I think the happiest gal on the beach was Jessica who was visiting from Kentucky. The beach was buzzing with the news that she found a JUNONIA!!! Boom Shellalaka!
She said she saw lots of shells half buried in the sand so started digging around and up popped her JUNONIA! … And that gorgeous dark LIGHTNING WHELK… And an ANGEL WING! Wahoo!
Jim and his wife Linda took a different method of collecting shells. They plopped right down to sit in the shallow water because they were feeling so many shells at their feet. Jim scooped up this exshellent empty HORSE CONCH!
I couldn't resist peaking in his shell bucket to see the rest of his finds from the water. Wanna peak too? Oh I know you DO!
Linda was holding her own on finding great shells. Oh yes she was! She found a perfect (and huge) ALPHABET CONE and two, count them… two perfect TRUE TULIPS…
I was thrilled to see Angela and her sister-in-law Candy again (I met them about this same time last year) loading up their buckets with goodies.
Awesome, right?
I love to see such happy families on the beach doing their own treasure hunt. All visiting from Alabama is Gracie, Dennis, Gloria, Sonya and Tyler…
They were doing yet another method of shell collecting… looking for minis! They found WENTLETRAPS, BABYS EARS, and all sorts of fun tiny miniature shells…
All while we were all finding shells, there were DOLPHINS swimming by, STARFISH scooting around in the tidal pools, live FIGHTING CONCHS burying themselves. Misty and Davis from Alabama were amazed by the all of this sea life.
Misty even found a live baby PYGMY OCTOPUS! Cool! This is not much bigger than the babies I filmed hatching on video I took several years ago. So see that video CLICK HERE. After showing this baby to us, she gently put it back in the water.
Earlier yesterday, I went to Blind Pass Captiva to see if the shells were coming in there too. Yes they were! The water was much rougher so it wasn't as easy to get the rolling shells but Joe and Penny from MA were toughing it out and scooping up the goods…
They found some nice WHELKS, CONCHS, COCKLES and SCALLOPS.
Tom and his daughter Alma from Wisconsin found a few treasures but the rough water kept them away from filling up their bags. The water was still a bit too rough in the Gulf Of Mexico at Blind Pass for really good shelling.
There was such a big difference from rough waters at Blind Pass to the calm water around the tip of Lighthouse Beach by the Sanibel Pier. This is actually on the San Carlos Bay side of the Lighthouse. This area is great for kids at a time like this since they get to see and learn about live sea creatures and also get to take empty shells home to remember their vacation forever…. just like these cuties Cole, Chase and Isabelle visiting from Kentucky.
This is where Super Sheller Clark found this one of three ALPHABET CONES. Happy guy!
And this is also where I found my best find… a CARRIER SHELL! I know, it doesnt look like much but finding a shell I rarely see, aaaalways makes me happy. Thank you TS Andrea!
I think the best shelling today will be in the afternoon at low tide again either at Lighthouse beach or Blind Pass Captiva. I just checked the Web Cams around the island to see if the water has calmed down a little at Blind Pass Sanibel and it does look a little calmer so it should be good by the jetty rocks on the Captiva Side soon…if not now. OMG So I have to go! I've got to get out there before I miss something! I'll post more soon but in the meanwhile, CLICK HERE to see the best shelling web cams for Sanibel Captiva and Ft Myers Beach.
Don't forget to enter to win the Sanibel Shelling Vacation giveaway! Click on the next image!

HOLY COW!!! Wish I was there!! Some beautiful stuff being found…especially everyone's smiles!!
WOW!! I want to be there today! Great finds everyone :)
I cannot imagine finding an octopus-must be very rare!
Wowzer!! I want to be there now too!!!
OMG! What magnificent specimens. And a whole bunch of them! really want to hop on a plane and come right down! Junonia, Horse Conchs, True Tulips, oh my! And then dolphins on top of that? Who could ask for anything more? LOL Very happy for all you shellers out there scoopin' up the goods. Have a Shelltastic Time!
What am I missing I would be insane with pleasure I will be back next year
Wow! So happy for all of the shellers! Tulips are my favorite shell, but sadly I've failed to find a whole one on my trips to Sanibel! Wish I was there so I could snag one … there's always next year. Have fun everyone!
I loved seeing the octopus!! And so tiny!!
I wish July 27th would get here already. Last year we stayed in Bonita and this year we are staying on Captiva. It will be easier for me now to do all the shelling I want! I hope I run into you.
Glad to hear Andrea didn't cause any damage…now get your shelling on!! I love that last picture!
Cute octopus. Love all the shells. I hope I hadn't thrown away a carrier shell thinking it was a broken shell! Happy shelling.
Me too, I really love that last picture; I reckon that would make a great calendar shot really — it captures how and why people love to shell on Sanibel!
gosh i wish i were there, awesomeness! miss sanibel/captiva…someday i will be there again and eat at the bubble room again, yum!
Amazing how quickly it can change! Very few shells to be found at Lighthouse beach a couple of weeks ago (Blind Pass was where they were washing up for us). So glad everyone is finding lots of great shells there now – loved seeing them! Great looking junonia, horse conch, alphabet cones etc. Loved the pygmy octopus too!
It sounds like you will have some more great shelling in the days ahead!
So enjoy your posts and pics when I cant be out there myself. Yeah for all the great shells everyone is finding!
OMG! What fantastic finds! This looks like one of my dreams! Happy shelling to you all. Wish I could be there. Don't know if I can thank you enough Pam, for letting us in on this beautiful glimpse of your life on Sanibel!
Love those BIG colorful alphabet cones.
Will be there in 2 weeks but I told my family on Friday we needed to jump in the car and leave now for the after-storm shelling! Can't wait to be back in the water and shelling. We live in Nebraska and had a family reunion yesterday. My nephew had his bag of shells from Sanibel (from our trip last summer) in his car and we got them out and went through them again. It will have to tide me over until we get back on the beach!
These pics are amazing! I can hardly wait to leave for Sanibel in 5 days. Do you think the shells from Andrea wll still be plentiful for a while? All the smiles and shells are a vacationer's dream..
This was the shelling day I have literally been dreaming about! It can't believe how perfect it was. I am so happy I got to meet you, Pam. You have kept my shelling dreams alive back in Kentucky. Thank you for documenting this wonderful day!! :D
Sometimes, it's fun to be able to say "I told you so!"
Oh, how I would love to be there!!!!!!! I love shells and shelling, just as my deceased mother did. I love to make things from shells, such as jewelry, wind chimes, etc. to give to my friends as gifts. What I would love to do is make a 'shell garden' for myself, which would be my own little special 'part of the beach' in my yard. I have heard of Sanibel and was going to visit when I went to Florida, but my brother went into congestive heart failure the night we got to Florida and we couldn't go. Sanibel is on my Bucket List.
I love looking at your webpage…it's like taking a mini vacation! As much as I love shelling, I can't get out as often as I'd like, so gazing at all the beautiful "finds" allows me to live vicariously through you and your friends on Sanibel! :) You just never know what God will put out for you to find!
So heartbreaking. We were there last week when the weather was awful because of Andrea. No sun all week and lots of rain. We had to leave on Saturday and didn't even get to take advantage of the shelling even though we had to endure the storm. Worst vacation ever :(
I've been to Sanibel over a dozen times during my lifetime and have only found an alphabet cone once. I remember it so vividly and I was only a child. Good luck to everyone shelling this week!
wow!!! im so jealous lol !!! lots of great shells i wish i was there
My heart is right there with you all! Happy Shelling!!

Quick Pic – Nauticus Ikea Hack
Inspiring ideas from customers!
The best and brightest chosen from images off facebook, flickr, instagram and more.
Ashley sent us this amazing project on facebook, with the description: "My first IKEA hack! The original was a Rast three-drawer dresser. The wood was stained with a red oak, and the fronts were wrapped in an embroidered canvas fabric. I'm really happy with how this came out." Holy wow! I would be too. What a cool update using the Nauticus pack!

College of Letters & Science
Undergraduate Study in Letters & Science
The Wisconsin Experience: Essential Learning in Letters & Science
Foundations: Tools of Learning
Breadth: Ways of Knowing
Depth: Practice and Understanding (Major)
Letters & Science Degrees
The College of Letters & Science (L&S) provides a broad and deep array of learning opportunities for undergraduate students. L&S courses not only provide students with basic tools for learning, but also help students acquire a thorough understanding of the many ways in which artists, scholars, scientists, and professionals create, understand, interpret, investigate, and communicate about the diverse and complex world around us. Whether in the classroom or in the laboratory, on the Web or in the workplace, educational mission of L&S is to help students to actively develop their own sense of how they might best understand the world.
Understanding the world, communicating that understanding to others, and taking action based on what one knows, takes many forms. What we call the liberal arts and sciences includes a wide range of academic pursuits: creative production and performance in the printed and visual arts; the analysis of global history, foreign languages and world literatures; scientific inquiry into the physical and natural world; qualitative and quantitative investigation into political, economic, and social processes; and many, many more. L&S classes and instructors emphasize critical thinking, analytical investigation, and effective communication. The learning experiences that L&S offers are invaluable for students in both their professional careers and their productive lives within the community—helping students develop flexible and transferable skills, both for "making a living" and "making a life."
The Wisconsin Experience: Essential Learning in Letters & Science
The three elements of learning described below—tools, breadth, and depth—work together to create a broad and rich education in the liberal arts and sciences, and promote attainment of core areas of essential learning: knowledge of human cultures and the natural and physical world, intellectual and practical skills, personal and social responsibility, and integrative and applied learning. These and countless other experiences comprise the Letters and Science approach to helping students obtain a distinctive Wisconsin Experience.
Foundations: Tools for Learning
For all UW–Madison undergraduates, these learning experiences begin with students satisfying the university's General Education Requirements—usually by taking courses taught within the College of Letters & Science. These common foundations cover key topics which are necessary for any undergraduate major and any prospective career: oral and written communication; mathematical and logical reasoning; and the diversity of cultures within global society.
In addition to these university-wide requirements, all L&S students must attain knowledge of a foreign language, in work that combines training in both communication and culture, so students may better understand and participate in the global community of the twenty-first century. Together, these "tools for learning" may be acquired through many different courses taught by many different departments. The key is that they are never taught in isolation, but always considered together with broad exposure to various "ways of knowing" from the arts and humanities, the natural sciences, and the social sciences. (For more on the General Education Requirements, see Mission and Purpose of the UW–Madison General Education Requirements; for more on the L&S requirements, see Letters & Science Degrees.)
Breadth: Ways of Knowing
At the heart of any degree in the liberal arts and sciences is an active understanding of the variety and breadth of the many scholarly approaches to knowing the world. Every student in the College of Letters and Science experiences significant exposure to three principal fields of knowledge: the arts and humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences. These broad fields of knowledge are not the same as the areas of depth that we call "majors." In fact, any particular major—or even a particular course within a major—might well involve more than one of these fields of knowledge. (For example, imagine a seminar on "people and the environment" that combines historical background, research on social patterns of energy use, and scientific understandings of climate.) Working together, each of these three fields of knowledge represents a particular "way of knowing" about the world around us.
Courses in the arts and humanities involve knowing the world through the production and analysis of artistic, literary, and scholarly work. Some courses examine the fine and performing arts, or literature, presenting students with opportunities to interpret and think critically about these creative expressions of the human condition. Other courses help students to understand and compare religious and philosophical conceptions of humankind. Still other courses take on historical subjects, focusing on moments of change and periods of continuity for the peoples and regions of the world. These courses all encourage students to analyze the range of creative and cultural artifacts, expressions, and ideas of human existence—history, literature, art, culture, folklore—and to use that information to better understand humanity and to cultivate civic and social responsibility.
Courses in the social sciences involve knowing the world through the systematic study of human society, interactions, and institutions. The social sciences explore these issues from a wide range of perspectives and research techniques, both quantitative and qualitative. Through these courses students learn how to formulate research questions and determine what techniques are best used to answer those questions—for example, exploring ideas and developing theories, conducting surveys and building models, or observing and participating in social life itself. Developing such analytical skills assists students as they approach complex problems and seek to solve them in both the workplace and the community.
Courses in the natural sciences involve knowing the world through scientific inquiry—assembling objective information that can be used to explain observed natural phenomena in a way that is thorough and verifiable. The natural sciences are often divided into the physical sciences (dealing with matter and energy, or the study of the earth, atmosphere, and oceans) and the biological sciences (dealing with life and living systems, like plants, animals, and environments). These courses often contain laboratory components that allow students to gain firsthand experience in scientific research methods. By completing this requirement, science and non-science majors alike will gain an appreciation for science as a way of systematically looking at the natural world, understanding how this process can be used to inform decision-making in a wide range of political, economic, and social contexts.
Together, these broad "ways of knowing" give students a complementary set of tools for seeing, imagining, and asking questions about the world—tools that enhance creative problem solving no matter what the field. And, because twenty-first-century knowledge is not neatly compartmentalized, it is worth noting that these areas of study intersect and overlap; courses in some areas draw upon strategies used in the others. Experiences in "breadth" courses can be life-changing: we frequently hear that a course taken to fulfill a breadth requirement introduced someone to a subject that became a new major, a new way of looking at a current major, or a lifelong interest.
For more on the breadth designation for courses, see the section on breadth in the L&S section of this catalog.
Depth: Practice and Understanding (Major)
The process of declaring and completing a major—often, but not always, attached to a particular university department—provides students with an opportunity to concentrate on an in-depth investigation of at least one subject or issue, putting their tools for learning and ways of knowing to focused use. This intensive understanding of one topic helps students to appreciate the potential depth of the others. A student's work in the major reflects a continuing progression of skills, knowledge, and values, where advanced learning opportunities in upper-level coursework grow from and expand upon earlier experiences, helping students build additional depth in writing, speaking, information literacy, and critical thinking skills from the perspective of a particular discipline. In senior capstone or independent research projects, students are frequently asked to synthesize what they have learned and apply it in a variety of new situations. By the conclusion of their studies, students in the major are better able to understand themselves and their society, to develop their intellectual powers outside of a University setting, and to make productive contributions to the world around them. (See list of L&S majors.)
Letters & Science Degrees
The College of Letters & Science offers two basic degrees for students in the General Course and five other degrees for students in special programs. Students in the General Course, regardless of major, may earn either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree. The special degrees are: Bachelor of Science–Applied Mathematics, Engineering, and Physics (AMEP); Bachelor of Arts–Journalism or Bachelor of Science–Journalism; Bachelor of Music; and Bachelor of Social Work. (For details, see sections for AMEP, Journalism, Music, and Social Work in the L&S section of this catalog.) Students who have multiple majors in L&S earn only one undergraduate degree.
Honors degrees may be earned in all of the above upon completion of the L&S Honors Program. See L&S Honors Program for more information. Majors completed in the General Course and for the Bachelor of Music degree will be posted on the transcript.
