An international team composed by scientists of Radboud University and the University Politecnico di Milano has realized the ultimate speed limit of the control of spins in a solid state magnetic material.
Nature Communications publishes their results on February 5.
The rise of the digital information era posed a daunting challenge to develop ever faster and smaller devices for data storage and processing. An approach which relies on the magnetic moment of electrons (i.e. the spin) rather than the charge, has recently turned into major research fields, called spintronics and magnonics.
In the current publication, the researchers were able to induce spin oscillations of the intrinsically highest frequency by using femtosecond laser pulses (1 fs = 10-15 sec). Furthermore, they demonstrated a complete and arbitrary manipulation of the phase and the amplitude of these magnetic oscillations – also called magnons. The length-scale of these magnons is on the order of 1 nanometre.
These results pave the way to the unprecedented frequency range of 20 THz for magnetic recording devices, which can be employed also at the nanometer scale.

st: Estimating long run output using Blanchard and Quah decomposition on a trivariate structural VAR.
Thu, 6 Sep 2012 16:12:55 +0100 (BST)
I'm estimating potential output using a tri-variate structural VAR with long run restrictions a la Blanchard and Quah (1989). The SVAR includes real output, real exchange rate (RER) and inflation. The restrections are the following :
- RER and inflation do not have long run effect on output
- Inflation does not have a lon run effect on RER.
Following the posts on Statalist about replicating the charts of the Blanchard and Quah's article, espacially the code posted by Jorge Eduardo Pérez Pérez, I've tried to recover long run output by setting the RER and inflation shocks to zero.
My question is whether this is correct or not, and if that's not the case, how should I proceed?

Here's the thing about teams that are better than yours: When you play,
they win most of the time. I don't think too many people believe the
Philadelphia 76ers to be the better team in their second-round series against the Boston Celtics—if they were, they
would have more wins (and probably superior players)—but that's not to
say the gap is so unbridgeable that they can't win four games out of
seven against them. It just means that they have to take advantage of
each and every opportunity given to them. Like, when the team shoots
2-18 from three against you and has their best scorer shoot 3-11 from
the field, and you lead for the better part of three quarters, you gotta
close that game out.
So much for Plan A, then, and if the Celtics win decisively
tonight—leaving no doubt that they are in fact the better team—there
probably won't be much time for a Plan B. The Sixers need at the very
least to prove that playing the Celtics to a near-draw on Saturday night
wasn't a fluke—to again keep pace throughout, to match effort and
game-planning and, uh, scoring—to have any chance in the remainder of
the series. And winning the game outright wouldn't be the worst idea
either. (Pre-game analysis, is what we call that.)
7:00 tip from the TD Garden tonight. Go Sixers. And if you're in the
Boston area and see Lou Williams practicing his contested three-point
shooting before the game, please feel free to run out there and kick him
in the shins.
Here's Doug Collins talking about his banged up players, including Elton Brand.
"Just treat it," EB says of his soreness. "I'm excited to play tonight."

Tiny Singapore risks economic gloom without big baby boom
By John O'Callaghan
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - History suggests Singapore will enjoy a welcome baby boom in this Year of the Dragon, the most auspicious for births in the Chinese zodiac.
But after 25 years of state-sponsored matchmaking and fertility-boosting campaigns, the government's attempts to arrest a sliding birth rate are falling flat, with potentially profound consequences for the wealthy Asian city-state.
The calls to conception are now urgent and constant to citizens whose fertility ranks last among 222 nations in the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency's World Factbook.
Faced with dismal statistics like that, the government has begun a review of population and immigration policy and says it plans new measures to encourage births by the time it publishes the results of its consultation early next year.
The message to have more babies is all the more pressing as resentment builds over an influx of foreigners who now make up more than a third of the population of 5.2 million, a factor that is eroding support for the long-ruling People's Action Party.
"We have a problem. The long-term trend is down but we cannot give up," Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said in a speech on Sunday about the nation's future. "We need to create the right environment, the right social environment, the right ethos so that Singaporeans want to settle down and have kids."
Social and economic engineering is nothing new in Singapore, where a firm government hand helped to steer a small island with no natural resources into one of the world's most affluent countries in a little over a generation.
But the relentless drop in the birth rate reveals the limits of that influence in what has been described as a "nanny state". Continued...

Posiflex is releasing a new mobile POS tablet, the MT4008.
Posiflex USA, long known for its fixed POS terminals, is the latest addition to the mobile generation.
For the first time ever, the majority of consumers are visiting retail websites on smartphones and tablets rather than on traditional desktop and laptop computers.
More than half of back-to-school shoppers will not purchase computers this year. According to the Crucial.com Back-to-School Shopping Report, which includes responses from 1,000 adults in the U.S., found that 57% of respondents do not plan to purchase laptops, desktops, tablets, or mobile devices for school this year, as a vast majority of consumers are increasingly concerned with becoming more frugal.
Motorola Solutions Inc. has introduced the new Symbol CS4070 wireless handheld Bluetooth scanner that can pair with any Bluetooth-enabled tablet, smartphone or laptop to provide enterprise-class 1D and 2D bar-code scanning.
PayAnywhere, the professional grade mobile point-of-sale solution from North American Bancard, has released PayAnywhere Storefront, its free touch-screen tablet and stand with built-in credit card reader.
HP is releasing a Windows 8.1 tablet-based POS solution designed to make it easy for small business retailers to effectively manage their business and cut operating costs.
Brookstone announced the launch of a new tablet-optimized website.

Persian roots in which a silent vāv must be written after an initial khe are often considered the bane of foreign learners of Farsi. I myself felt some discontent at having to learn this silly spelling rule after initially encountering Persian in the wonderfully clear Cyrillic script used by Tajiki. However, one of those little eureka moments one encounters in historical linguistics was that these words can be traced back to Proto-Indo-European roots with intial *sw-, e.g.:
- خواهار 'sister' < PIE *swésōr;
- خوابیدن 'to sleep' < PIE *swep‑;
- خویش 'himself' < PIE *swe‑ (I guess, but even if I guess wrong, it still helps to remember).
Thus, a little knowledge of PIE can instantly serve as a mnemonic device in some tricky aspect of a language that arose millennia later.
Increasing age may make it more challenging to learn a language to real conversational proficiency and lose that accent, but I've been so encouraged lately by how a decade-plus of sometimes focused and deliberate, but just as often casual and absentminded, learning provides remarkable benefits in reaching a middling level effort-free. Another example is when I recently picked up an intermediate-level reference for Japanese grammar (a language I've never formally studied) and realized that I know most of the words used in the example sentences purely through some kind of osmosis over the years. It is wonderful how everything out there ties together somehow. Now if I could just have these fruits of a decade's experience and have that decade itself back…

The Pier (2011)
Jack McCarthy left Ireland for the US 20 years ago when his business failed and hr had to get out in a hurry. Now he's called home by his father, Larry, who says he's dying.
Finding his father apparently fit enough to hit golf balls in a field of cattle. Jack is furious but decides to stay in Cork when he meets an American tourist, Grace - although she's quick to tell him she's just out of a divorce and not ready for another relationship. Jack tries to call in debts from local people who owe his father money, but their time together becomes more and more unbearable until Larry is finally honest with his son.

Date of Stay: August, 2009
We had a great stay at Country Waye. I called in advance, and when I spoke to the owners, their warmth was felt through the phone. They were very helpful in selecting the right site for our needs. It is a very serene valley setting surrounded by mountains. Clean bathrooms and a playground for the kids. Grassy middle area for tossing a ball. Nice pool for playing in. Not for lap swimmers. I would definitely return if I visit the area again.
Date of Stay: August, 2009
We were intrigued by the Yogi Bear chain and spontaneously chose this RV park. Our initial site was in the middle of an open field. We then asked to be moved to the river area, and it felt much more like a campground. The river was lovely and added a beautiful dimension to the evening. I was really disappointed that there were lots of added charges for the activities listed in the campground book. It is a great place if you have little kids and are willing to spend for the extras.

It is increasingly clear that Silvio Berlusconi will actually do some time for his escapades of dishonesty and sexual misconduct. Unlike the US which sends people of any age to jail so the government can pay $40,000 a year for their upkeep and medical expenses, the governmnet of Italy would prefer if they remained at home and did something for the public good. Silvio will probably be offered the option of performing some sort of public service or remaining in one of his luxurious villas and been compelled to entertain himself with parties. We assume this means he will aid the Italian government efforts to reduce the unemployment rate.
We urge young gorgeous women to learn the location of his "prison" and then offer their services to assist his daily life experiences. They get work, he gets pleasure, and the people of Italy do not spend a lira!!

Windsor woman injured in crash
A Windsor woman sustained serious injuries in a two-vehicle accident at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday in Johnson County.
According to a Missouri State Highway Patrol report, Elbert D. Coleman, 83, of Knob Noster, was driving south on state Route 23 when he attempted to make a left-hand turn onto state Route WW. He pulled into the path of a northbound vehicle driven by Twila D. Christopher, 36.
Christopher's vehicle struck the front left corner of Coleman's vehicle, which came to rest on the shoulder. Christopher's vehicle traveled off the east side of the road and struck an embankment.
Christopher, who was not wearing a seat belt, was taken by Johnson County Ambulance District to Research Medical Center in Kansas City for her injuries.
Reports indicate Coleman was wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident.

Hall, who was wearing a seat belt, was taken by ambulance to St. Mary's Hospital in Jefferson City with moderate injuries.
Oerly, who was not wearing a seat belt, was also taken by ambulance to St. Mary's with serious injuries.

Get out the vote efforts lead the digest today and will stay near the top from here on out. Republican Governor Pawlenty, DFLer Mike Hatch and the I-P's Peter Hutchinson are out on the campaign trail today. The Ap's Brian Bakst kicks off the start of the horse race coverage with this story.
There also seems to be an increase in absentee ballot requests says KARE-11.
The Governor's Race
Hutchinson was on MPR's Midmorning program. You can listen here.
The St. Cloud Times has a story that both Hatch and Pawlenty will campaign in St. Cloud today.
Last night the three participated in a KSTP-TV debate. MPR, the Star Tribune, the Pi Press and the AP have stories.
There were plenty of endorsement over the weekend. And all three candidates can celebrate. The Rochester Post Bulletin and the Star Tribune's Dennis Anderson endorse Pawlenty.
The Star Tribune and the Mankato Free Press endorse Hatch.
The Pi Press endorses Hutchinson.
I guess that clears that up.
WCCO's Pat Kessler profiles Pawlenty and Hutchinson.
The Star Tribune profiles Pawlenty, details his track record and lists some things you don't know about him.
The opening lines of this AP story on Hutchinson are marvelous.
Don Davis, with Forum Communications, has a story that says the race for governor hinges on education and health care.
U.S. Senate race
Amy Klobuchar will also be working the GOTV stuff and will have some help from a friend from Illinois. Illinois Senator, and possible presidential hopeful, Barack Obama will hold a rally for Klobuchar and 1st District congressional candidate Tim Walz in Rochester tonight. Klobuchar's camp expects 1,000 people at the event.
Former V.P. Al Gore will hold a rally for Klobuchar on Thursday.
Klobuchar also racked up the endorsements over the weekend. The Star Tribune and the Pi Press backed her.
Oh, there was also a debate last night. KSTP-TV and the League of Women Voters also hosted a U.S. Senate debate on Sunday. MPR, the Star Tribune, the Pi Press and the AP have stories.
Klobuchar is also leading Kennedy in campaign cash in the bank account. The Star Tribune takes a look at where the money is coming from.
Speaking of fundraiaing, Forum Communications Scott Wente has an interesting look at fundraising and finds that most prefer to write a check.
The Wall Street Journal's opinion page mentions Kennedy's ad in an online forum.
WCCO-TV's Pat Kessler also reality checks the comments the late Senator Paul Wellstone made before the war.
The 1st
The Wall Street Journal takes a look at the race in Minnesota's 1st District and describes Democrat Tim Walz as an "everyman."
The Washington Post puts the 1st and the 6th in its list of top 35 races.
The Post also mentions the 1st as one of the races the Dems could win.
The Wall Street Journal wonders if all those pundits are right.
The Rothenberg Political Report also mentions Walz in this write-up.
One reason Walz may be gaining ground is because voter sentiment may be changing in the Midwest, says CQ Politics.
Forum Communications also says Democrats are seeing a boost in rural support.
The 6th
The Star Tribune has a story on the candidate debate between Republican Michele Bachmann, Democrat Patty Wetterling and the I-P's John Binkowski.
WCCO-TV talks about Bachmann's church. In particular, a church plank that says the Pope is the antichrist.
The 8th
Dick Kekempthorne was in Minnesota to campaign for Republican Rod Grams.
Fox News covers the race.
But Forum Communications says Oberstar would be Transportation Chair if he's reelected and Democrats take control of the House.
Attorney General
The Pi Press takes a look at the race
Secretary of State
Forum Communications takes a look at the candidates and where they stand on the photo id law.
Lt. Gov.
The candidates debated on TPT's Almanac. The Star Tribune has a story. The Bemidji Pioneer also writes up Lt. Governor Molnau's visit.
The Legislature.
The Star Tribune wonders if Democrats can take control of the Minnesota House. They also have ten races to watch.
One of those races is House District 20B between DFL incumbent Lyle Koenen and Republican Scott VanBinsbergen. The West Central Tribune has profiles of Koenen and VanBinsbergen.
The St. Cloud Times also takes a look at the race in House District 13A between DFLer Bruce Schuck and GOP incumbent Bud Heidgerken.
The Brainerd Post Dispatch also takes a look at the race in Senate District 12.
It's also meet the candidates night in Melrose.
The Grand Forks Herald says the GOP is targeting DFL incumbent Bernie Lieder.
The Red Wing Republican Eagle says the Senate District 28 race is getting nasty.
WCCO-TV says the grocers are mounting a campaign to sell wine in grocery stores.
Odds and ends
The Star Tribune takes a look at the young policy wonks.
Fox 9 has a story asking if the DFL endorsed candidate in the Hennepin County Sheriffs race
actually lives in Hennepin County.
And finally, do you vote for the dead guy?

One of the features of library membership is an induction, a hurdle sufficiently alarming that I would have cancelled the whole plan to avoid the ordeal. But alas, my charming companion knows my tricks. He called and arranged the appointment before I could weasel out.
You'll never hear me talk about being scared because honestly, nothing much scares me. Living people pose no concern, regardless of how illustrious or infamous or annoying. Decisions like moving to a different country or buying a house are conducted on a whim. Having kids, changing careers: the big stuff is easy.
I loathe telephone conversations, radio interviews, and sometimes washing lettuce. I am irrationally startled by loud noises. But I can't think of anything sensible that intimidates or worries me, and I wasn't expecting to discover a reserve of anxiety.
The London Library just joined the list.
My reasons are so juvenile and quaint they are worth observing: I feel unworthy, undeserving, ill-educated, shabby.
I often talk about my working class antecedents, but it is rare to encounter a situation where my accent and background feel problematic. Or rather, I don't care.
And then in a random unexpected moment I find that somewhere under the layers of lipstick and silk scarves and attitude, there is still a frightened little girl who can't pronounce 'wolf' or 'roof' or 'rural' - or thousands of more esoteric words that I could spell and define but would never, ever say out loud.
There is nothing to fear at the library: it is a building full of books and people. I enjoy the former and ignore the latter. But the walls are decorated with the portraits of exalted dead members, and golly, do I find them intimidating.
I can dine at high table in the oldest Oxford college without a qualm. I hang out with aristocrats and rock stars and gutter punks. I am sanguine, indifferent almost to the point of inertia.
But the portraits on the walls remind me that my life is improbable: truly working class people generally do not transcend their class status. Historically they might make money, might give their children a better life, but that is an economic change, not a social change.
There is a big difference between income and class, and I am not a product of the impoverished but aspirational middle.
I was born authentically poor and sick, but I had the requisite zeal to raise myself and my children out of poverty. I worked hard and took insane risks to change our prospects. But I'm the transitional figure, neither one nor the other. I don't even want to be middle class: it is a fresh daily shock to see that my children are something I will never be.
Beyond that, I'm a woman, and an immigrant - two categories of the population not overly represented in the bastions of the establishment, even when we have the money and connections required to join the private clubs. Rebecca West is the only woman I've seen depicted on the walls of the institution (so far), photographed in old age and looking wrathful. It took reckless arrogance for me to get this far but I am humbled to walk where she walked, hold the books she touched.
It doesn't make any sense that a tour of a library would be notable in any way whatsoever - but I would say the London Library scares the pants off me. If I wore pants. Which I don't, so, you know, whatever.
I'll get over it. Like I advise the children: fake it till you make it.

This is the second year in a row KTS has materialised on my birthday - though both occasions were coincidental to him I consider the visits a rare and splendid gift.
He & Alison stopped by on their way to Paris via Istanbul and it was great fun to show them my daily routine and take them on jetlagged walking tours: Bunhill Fields, the Barbican, the Tate Modern, Two Temple, Prufrock.
Over dinner one night I explained to Quentin how we met as raddled morbid teenagers, the token poor kids in a youth program designed to cosset and educate children with better prospects: a beginning so inauspicious I never would have expected to know him longer than that summer.
We were both bitter, caustic, contemptuous - of each other, of the program, of the place. It would be a very long time before I understood how rare it is to meet someone who not only tolerates but enjoys mordant invective. The best thing about KTS, then as now, is his cold dark heart. He doesn't mind the hectic lacerating sarcasm that issues from my mouth, or the chaos of my household. He is like us, so he likes us.
In fact, our so-called friendship features a ten year gap during which we were technically enemies. We lived in the same place but our experiences were divergent: while still a teenager I was a parent, married, responsible, studious, old. KTS was crazy smart but young and decadent and, as he says, "babies don't dance and they can't buy beer."
I thought he should grow up, he thought I should live a little before I died. Neither of us was polite or reticent in our judgment of the other. Age and maturity proved both assessments correct, though it hardly matters. We took different roads but ended up approximately where our cynical, youthful selves secretly hoped. Museums, travel, books, careers, organic vegetables: a life that materially and symbolically rebukes everything we knew growing up next to Highway 16.
Though neither would have admitted to anything so banal as hope back in the day.
How strange and extraordinary to have a friend sitting in my London home who remembers the B&I Store, and the Great Wall, and that summer in Seattle. We share memories that I would have thought fictional if I didn't have someone to verify that yes, it did happen, that place existed, that person was real. Or we help each other forget. He sat with me in the hospital after the accident, listening as I talked frantically around a dislocated jaw - and has no memory of the day whatsoever.
Twenty-four years later, we're still manifestly the same mocking, ironic, and hopeful kids who sat on a rock talking about suicide. We're just older, and live somewhere else:

When I was small I would beg for a ride to the regional library, far away across the bay. My father, muttering about the inconvenience, would sometimes take me there on the way to his job. This was fine because I didn't need to browse: I was working my way alphabetically through the stacks.
With a dozen or so books clutched in my arms I would go to work with my father at the gas station. In the hot months I curled up in a stack of tires, one lone lightbulb far away overhead illuminating the pages of the books I read, indiscriminately, voraciously. On cold days I sat in the lobby next to the customers waiting to pick up their cars, ignoring their chatter, ignoring the mechanics and my grandfather in his pristine uniform, ignoring everything except the book in my hand.
I went to the gas station because I was too young, and then too sick, to stay home alone. When weather and illness put the tire room and even the lobby off-limits I retreated to my dad's pickup truck, running the engine for heat, and reading - anything - just reading.
Sometimes this routine was interrupted by a visit with my grandmother; the drive to the library was even more of an imposition for her, but she loaded up the car with small dogs and angry cousins and we set out on the drive - in those days, before the big roads were built connecting all the little towns on the peninsula, perhaps an hour away from the farm.
On those trips I would beg the librarian for an extension on the lending limit, and the people at the counter would purse their lips and consider me: a scrawny, misshapen girl with blue lips, a hacking cough, fresh red scars trailing across my neck. They always said yes, and I would leave with two dozen books, generally novels but also reference works on guinea pigs or woodworking or whatever I was obsessed with at the time.
The librarians frowned when my selections exceeded the strength of my arms, but eventually I was allowed to take up to thirty books at a time. Because I would read them - and because, presumably, I obviously needed them.
I was the most ambitious member of the summer reading program for a couple of years, but then I finished all the available works in the children's section. A policy problem: should a child be allowed gold stars for reading adult literature? I was still young enough for story time and puppet shows, but too ambitious for the prize program meant to tempt or induce or trick other children into literacy.
By the time I was twelve I was already up to "L" in the adult stacks of that low-ceilinged brown-carpeted building. This was another problem for the librarians: while they could authorise loaning the Sinclair Lewis with no qualms, there were many titles on the shelves that might have been forbidden to a child. But they just shook their heads, stamped the due date, and wished me well.
Indiscriminate reading took me through mystery, romance, science fiction, biography, history. Agatha Christie, George Orwell, Ernest Hemingway, Herman Melville, anything, everything: I craved the words. From Alexandre Dumas to Marguerite Duras, Goethe to Rilke, with grimier pitstops on the way, my world was expanded - inexorably. In my mind I did not live in the 1980's, or on a woebegone peninsula west of Seattle. I was adrift in an alternate universe of fiction and poetry, where anything was possible, if not probable.
I have very few intact memories of hospitals, doctors, surgery, the violence and misery at the corners of my eyesight. What I remember from my childhood is books, literature, and libraries.
Back in those days the library was also a crucial source of information in the form of directories and phonebooks - the place where a confused rural youth would go to look up the contact information for colleges, in order to write or call for catalogs.
I was old enough to drive by the time I was researching colleges, and had lots of schemes and activities to occupy my time. But I still loved the library, still considered it a haven and refuge from real life. I visited less, but more efficiently, and my memories are more precise, like the regular book sales; always so tragic as my old friends were removed from the stacks forever, and I never had enough money to rescue the titles I had loved the most.
The most vivid memory is from this period: I was wearing a peacock printed minidress, psychedelic blue tights, and knee-high black boots on the day I sat with my back to the children's section researching the university scholarships I would apply for, and win.
The scholarships allowed me to leave town, but I took my library card with me, and I have it still, on the other side of the world, in the top drawer of my grandfather's desk. I sit at the desk and stare at the ephemera on my wall, photographs and paintings of the Northwest, and wonder how I managed to get here - but then I look down at the book in my hand, and start reading again.
The college library was housed in a brutalist architectural monument, all poured concrete and views of a dripping forest. That is where I first read Foucault, along with the collected letters of Thomas Jefferson. I studied, finished my degree, chased my daughter, went to graduate school, started my first career, fell in love - all in the shadows of a library.
What else could a bookish poor kid do? The best I could hope for, the absolute limit of my horizon, was a job in state government. Nothing else was on offer, and I didn't even know I was allowed to wish for more. My undergraduate mentor tried to advise, tried to tell me that I was a writer, but I thought his comments nonsensical. I couldn't afford that kind of fantasy.
Instead I chose a practical, conservative program that would lead to a proper job. Two days before I finished a masters in public administration the director of the program looked up from a copy of my thesis with a frown, and said "You should publish this; you should really consider a PhD."
But I didn't know what PhD even stood for, and publishing was not a viable option. I needed to earn a living, I needed health insurance, I had a kid to raise. I set aside books and buckled down to be an adult.
Within a year it was clear I was not suited to a real job: too opinionated, too dreamy, and also still too sick, I wanted to go back to the library.
I moved to Portland and started a new itinerant career as a writer and publisher - a pursuit that generates sufficient income for my worried working class brain (even as I fret about lack of benefits, a pension, and a job title easy to describe to strangers at dinner parties) if not a regular pay-check. The disadvantages do not matter, because I feel vastly more satisfied and secure. Why? Because I am best equipped for solitary, private pursuit of knowledge. I am thoroughly enamoured with discursive thought. I like puzzles and errata. But most of all, because I am more at home with books, and words, than with people.
But I was surprised to find that the main library was under renovation. I cobbled together a solution with satellite libraries smaller than the parking lot of the library of my youth, and frequent trips to Powell's, which had a better reference section than my alma mater.
It seemed like a coincidence when I moved to Seattle and found that the main library was being demolished to make way for a new lavish modern building that would not open before I left town. But when I moved to Cambridge, England as the main library was similarly dismantled it started to feel like something else entirely: judgement, curse?
I'm not superstitious but I started to take it personally when I found that the municipal lending library was a bookmobile in the market square. I had outgrown the benefits of a bookmobile by age ten, and back then I lived in a place where hardly anyone else was reading. Cambridge is a venerated academic town: everyone is reading.
Most of my friends didn't notice or care because they used the university library and college collections. But I was not affiliated with the university, and thus had no privileges. I could not borrow, and I could not browse. I was allowed to stand in the lobby of a library that included books with my name on the spine, but I was never granted the right to walk in those hallowed halls.
London did not hold much promise because I didn't live there, but also because I lacked the correct credentials for a reader pass at the British Library. Of all the many depressing aspects of my time in the United Kingdom, this remains the worst, outdistancing by far the imprecations of life as an immigrant.
By the time I moved to London I'd been a professional writer and publisher for thirteen years, without ever having access to a decent library.
During that time libraries had themselves changed, moving away from books to an emphasis on information technology. My local library in London is called an "Idea Store" - without any irony whatsoever.
This might be fine for poor kids born in this century who crave words, like I craved words in my impoverished youth. I don't know; maybe they are getting what they need from these new glassy buildings full of computer terminals. But I have a computer at home. What I want, what I need, is books.
It didn't take me long to figure out that there was a solution: the London Library, founded in 1841 by Thomas Carlyle and friends. Virginia Woolf, John Betjeman, Rebecca West, Rudyard Kipling, George Bernard Shaw, Edith Sitwell, Vita Sackville-West, George Eliot, Charles Darwin, Henry James, TS Eliot, Isaiah Berlin, W. M. Thackeray, Siegfried Sassoon, Winston Churchill, and Arthur Conan Doyle were all members: the list goes on from there. EM Forster was given a lifetime membership as a 21st birthday present from a rich aunt.
But there you have the source of my problem, because the library, while eminent and in all ways exquisite, is not free. It does not aspire to be.
This fact was enough to convince me not to join, mainly because I remember the little girl with armloads of books dreaming of a life without sickness, poverty, and pain. If the Kitsap County Regional Library had charged for subscription, I would not have been able to join.
These niceties are not recognised by my immediate family members. The people who live in my house are middle class, educated, entitled, and dismissive. They tell me that I should think more about how that little girl was rescued by reading, and that it is my duty to write stories she would want to read. They say I'm not fit for any other purpose.
And for my birthday this year, they bought me a membership card for the London Library.

My weekend included: 41st birthday, 29th anniversary of terminal cancer diagnosis, and 16th wedding anniversary.
Not too shabby - in fact, all excellent news.
Long rambles around the city - lovely dinners - visits with friends - a taxidermy fox tongue and a jelly bean dispenser. Have all my childhood wishes officially come true? Probably.
Thanks to everyone for the good wishes & fun times!

Forget talking to flowers to help them grow - apparently chanting to cheese produces much better results.
The head of an Austrian school for dairy farmers claims that an album of chanting recorded by Gregorian monks has been responsible for their prize-winning cheese.
"Cheese matures with the help of micro-organisms which I am sure also feel vibes. The music is very simple and I think that is what helps," said head teacher Erich Kerngast.
The 'Chant Music of Paradise', which reached the top 10 in the UK charts is clearly number one to these Austrian cheese-makers, who play it on repeat to the two-and-a-half tonnes of cheese as it matures in the cellars of the school.
"We put in a Dolby Surround hi-fi system worth £1,600 and have been playing the Gregorian chant over and over again," said Mr Kerngast.
The dairy farmers are obviously doing something right: the school has won a (cheese) string of prizes for its Grottenhofer Auslese cheese since it began playing the monks' chants to the long-suffering produce.
Not only is cheese stimulated by music, it has stimulated some musical tributes, too.
Watch a video of Radio 1's Comedy Dave and Chris Moyles' cheese song and the bizarre cheese song from The Mighty Boosh in the videos below.

Hundreds of children are being held illegally in police cells over night, a top cop has claimed.
Dawn Copley, assistant chief constable of Greater Manchester Police, claimed the practice was widespread.
Ms Copley, part of a All-Party Parliamentary Group for Children, said youngster's rights were not seen as important.
And she told MPs how there had been "chronic breaches" of the law.
Ms Copley said: "Too often, children and young people remain in custody overnight.
"The continued chronic breach of this legislative requirement is not only bad practice per se. Subliminally it indicates to all involved in the process that children's rights are not seen as important."
Children can be held in custody to further a criminal investigation, uncover the identity of suspects, or if their disappearance would hinder a prosecution.
But under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act they should be transferred to the care of the local authority.
But Ms Copley said this didn't always happen because of shrinking resources.
In October the Howard League for Penal Reform revealed 800 children were locked up overnight in police cells each week.
The Home Office say that those under the age of 18 should not be held in cells overnight unless there is a "specific necessity".
A spokeswoman said: "It is a matter for chief constables to ensure the law is complied with."


text: Wow, summer FLEW past me this year. We did a lot, all summer long, but now the kids are back in school and it's starting to get cooler outside. I'm going to really enjoy the fall and the holiday season this year. But first, one more "summer" trip! It's labor day! We're going to start it all off by looking at new dishwashers, and we'll probably get one to be delivered on Monday so I can have the old one sitting outside and Lowes will deliver and haul off the old one. But first, we're going to drive to Sherman either tonight or tomorrow, that's about 100 miles north, and visit my wife's Grandmother (Dad's mom) and then her Grandfather (Mom's dad) all day Saturday. I assume we'll do a cookout of some type, hot dogs and chips, a cold drink and hamburgers. Then monday is the day to put the dishwasher in, maybe go down to the small water park we've got in our neighborhood and let the kids play one last time. Good times! So, what's everyone else doing this LABOR DAY!?
