Analysis: Did Cars Save President Obama?
There's been a ton of talk since last night about how much the relatively low unemployment rate in Ohio and the descending rates in Michigan and Wisconsin helped President Obama with his so-called "Mid-Western firewall."
The ironies couldn't be thicker:
The President's bailout of major car companies soon after he took office offended many Democratic voters.
"I feel they should've gave the people the money to spend to keep the companies going," retail clerk Linda Webb told me in 2010, while pushing her grocery cart out of the Walmart in Jackson, Michigan. "But they did the opposite. They gave it to all the big people that didn't need the money. If they handed me money like they handed them, I could've went and bought a car — it would have kept them in production."
In 2010, the hiring spurred by the bailout wasn't quite so easy to see, but since then, it's set in.
Then there's the industry itself -- not exactly a natural Obama ally.
The auto industry has had its own reasons to resist the Obama presidency, including implementation of regulations requiring cars to get a minimum of 55 miles per gallon by next decade.
But at the end of the day, a prediction that a top Democratic official made to Transportation Nation back in June proved true: swing states jobs numbers, he said, would be "determinative" in the fall. Here's what we wrote then:
Buoyed in part by automobile hiring, employment in swing states looks far better than the nation as a whole, providing a possible path to victory for President Barack Obama, who bailed out the big three auto manufacturers with a clothespin on his nose.
In Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Missouri, the auto industry has been adding jobs at rapid clip, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. So that even though things were really bad in those states, they're now less bad. Which is good news for the President.
"We know that this thing is going to be super tight," said a senior Democratic official. "But we are absolutely of the belief that the swing states jobs numbers will be determinative in the fall."
By now, the national narrative is well known. May's employment numbers were meh, signalling a heap of trouble for the President. "He is the underdog," opined NPR's Mara Liasson, who then ticked off things that could only make the electoral picture worse for the Democrats: the Euro crisis, the Chinese economy, etc. That pretty much sums up the conventional wisdom.
In the swing states, things are markedly better than they were two years ago, and in many of them, the employment picture is a whole lot brighter than the nation as a whole.
Here's the rest of that post.

A court in central Vietnam convicted 14 bloggers, writers and political and social activists on Wednesday of plotting to overthrow the government and sentenced them to prison terms ranging from 3 to 13 years in what human rights groups said was the largest subversion case to be brought in years. Activists convicted in Vietnam crackdown on dissent
The defendants were arrested in 2011 and accused of links to a banned pro-democracy group led from California. The government says the group — Viet Tan, or Vietnam Reform Party — seeks its overthrow.
A number of the defendants are members of the Redemptorist group in the Roman Catholic Church, which has been engaged in community service and has taken up the causes of land seizures and corruption. Redemptorist activists have become increasingly assertive in Vietnamese movements for democracy and human rights, and some churches and parishes have become centers of dissent.

Globalization and identity formation: A postcolonial analysis of the international entrepreneur
In the United States, the past twenty years has witnessed a growing academic interest in understanding 'globalization,' i.e., a series of interconnected social, cultural, and political processes occurring under integrated economies. Management scholars have tried to understand globalization in terms of its potential consequences for companies conducting business in various countries and regions. However, globalization involves more than this, for as new relationships between people and places occur, new ideas about who they/us are in those relationships also emerge. How can international management scholars thus understand these complex relationships occurring under globalization? How can they theorize and study such relationships? ^ Although there are multiple ways to address these questions, the approach to globalization within U.S.-based international business and management research has been insufficient. First, meta-theoretical assumptions supporting U.S.-based management theories and practices have seldom been questioned in regards to their deployment in non-Western contexts. Second, the emphasis of this research on "cultural differences" implies "separation" and may conceal social and cultural formations established through global relationships. Thus, alternative approaches to understanding business practices in the context of globalization are needed. ^ To this effect, I first develop the notion of identity formation , based on poststructuralist and postcolonial theories, as a conceptual framework, in contrast with the modernist views of identity informing the extant international management literature. I suggest this notion as an appropriate focus of analysis for understanding contemporary relationships between people in the world. To demonstrate these arguments, I conduct fieldwork focused on the international entrepreneur, specifically the Turkish entrepreneur. Relying on an extended case study design and a multi-method approach, I examine how Turkish entrepreneurs in high-technology sectors in the U.S. and in Turkey engage in identity formation processes. ^ The identity formation framework allows me to demonstrate how globalization processes occur relationally through embedded discourses of hybridity, gender, subalternity, and nation articulated by international entrepreneurs. I further address how postcolonial lenses allow for conceptualizing encounters between West and non-West occurring under globalization as a series of interdependent events at the locus of identity formation. As such, my dissertation offers a theoretically distinct conceptualization for globalization research in international management.^

Pro-Zarqawi MPs anger Jordan
Jordan's parliament has condemned an Islamist MP for calling Abu Musab al-Zarqawi a "martyr" and demanded that his party question him and three other members for attending the dead al-Qaida leader's wake.
In a statement on Sunday, parliament demanded that the Islamic Action Front "question its four members about the visit (to al-Zarqawi's home), put an end to these practices and consider any attempt to bypass the right, dignity and declared positions of this country a crime that won't go unpunished".
It said the visit was calculated to deliberately provoke the Jordanian people.
Mohammed Abu Fares and three other members of the Islamic Action Front - all parliament deputies - visited al-Zarqawi's home on Friday to pay condolences to his family.
Abu Fares called al-Zarqawi a "martyr" in a sermon he delivered at a mosque following the wake.
He said later that the term did not apply to Jordanians who died in last November's triple hotel blasts in Amman. The attacks were claimed by al-Zarqawi's group.
"Mobs and ignorant people"
"I can't describe them as martyrs; these were mobs and ignorant (people)," Abu Fares told Al Arabiya satellite station on Saturday.
Parliament argued that Abu Fares' comments marked a "serious precedent" in sanctioning killing, glorifying murderers and insulting al-Zarqawi's Jordanian victims.
Parliament, which is in recess for the summer, did not say if it will take action against the four lawmakers, whose party, with 17 MPs, is the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood Movement.

Pam, it will be a wrench when kitten goes. I'll wait until after the weekend in case his owners have been away. I've never heard of that song, what a great sentiment! Have you told us about your chickens and I missed it? I'm down to two from my original four. I expect there will be chicken conversations when Geoff returns as he said he was going to get some more after his hols.
Becks, it looks lovely and if it's sunny and Jess is having fun you'll enjoy it :- ) About the cost of phoning etc, I was just thinking that if you're planning to check in here sometimes you don't want a nasty surprise when the bill comes. I've only heard about these things and don't go anywhere so can't make a useful comment on charges.
Morning all. Have been kitten sitting since breakfast, thought it was time I turned off the telly and did something else!
Hope the holiday makers enjoy their time away. I shall be highly entertained by Becks's 'Moans from Abroad' . Could that be a follow up title to ... ;- ) Becks, this is probably a daft question but does it cost a lot more to be using the internet when you're in Europe?
He would indeed, I think it's our duty to keep that from happening! I've never seen a vine weevil - not that I've particularly looked - but I have encountered the larvae on plenty of occasions.
Hollie-Hock, I don't know if I can admit to the rescue woman that my charges have gone adventuring and I would feel guilty at taking any more knowing I'm not really doing what she intended. I'm going to take kitiekat's advice and see what happens.
I do hope that hedgehogs find your garden one day :- )
I don't think so. Geoff keeps things ticking over even when the rest of us are being lackadaisical !
Job done boys!!
Tonight's mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make sure Fork Handles does not disappear on to page 2 ;- )
Meanwhile, back to the athletics track. Go Weirwolf, Go Jonnie. Job done, Hannah!!!
Hi kitiekat. Thanks for your suggestions.
Flo :- )
Dean - bargains or what!
Oh Pam, as a fellow dog-owner you have my heartfelt sympathies. At least the owner cared enough to be upset. I hope s/he now purchases a muzzle to save anyone else from such trauma.
Jean's had plenty of time to go to the bookshop and be several chapters in to the action!

As Vancouver and Surrey clamour for SkyTrain and light-rail expansion, the province's Transportation Minister said Wednesday it is up to Lower Mainland mayors to come up with a plan to pay for the infrastructure – one that is supported by the public – before she takes legislative action to enact it.
Mary Polak's stand, advanced during a meeting behind closed doors with the mayors' council of TransLink, suggests no quick fix to the eternal debate over how to find hundreds of millions of dollars needed for transit expansion.
In Vancouver, Mayor Gregor Robertson has become more urgent in pushing for a SkyTrain line tunnelled along the Broadway corridor that could cost $2-billion, citing the massive project as crucial to the well-being of one of B.C.'s key urban centres.
After the meeting with the minister, Mr. Robertson called again for "road pricing" – measures such as tolls, transponders or other options in which consumers pay for their use of roads – calling it a "vastly superior tool" for funding transit.
Ms. Polak, talking to reporters following her meeting with mayors, said she did not see comprehensive road pricing as feasible in the short term, arguing it would take four to five years to implement.
In addition to road pricing, Mr. Robertson said the mayors have long argued for using a share of the revenue-neutral carbon tax to pay for transit needs. While the B.C. NDP has been open to the idea, the governing Liberals have been opposed to it.
Mr. Robertson suggested it might take the coming provincial election next May to sort out the issue.
"Parties running for election need to be clear on how they are going to resolve this," he said in an interview after the mayors' meeting. "We've got to address this. The election obviously presents an opportunity for the major parties to plant their mark here and say how they're going to improve transit in Vancouver."
For years, the mayors have been urging the province to come up with revenue sources for transit beyond fare hikes, gas taxes and property taxes. Ms. Polak said after the meeting with mayors that she's not prepared to take any options to the legislature unless the mayors do more homework.
"It's a matter of being able to show they have public support for the legislation they would ask me to bring forward," she said. "If they have that work done, we'll consider what they bring forward. These are all experienced mayors. They know their communities. I believe they have the capacity to do this work."
Ms. Polak, who represents Langley and has said she is personally mindful of transit pressures in the region, said she was well aware of the high-profile transit wishlists of Vancouver and Surrey, but still needs to see a consensus among mayors on their priorities.
Mr. Robertson said he was looking for action from the legislature when it resumes sitting next February, a few months ahead of the mid-May provincial election.
Mayors' council chair Richard Walton, mayor of the District of North Vancouver, said he had not expected any breakthrough as a result of Wednesday's meeting.
"There's no quick solution. The next couple of months are going to see us working within mayors' council to try and meet the requests of the minister for a much more articulated vision."Report Typo/Error

There's no denying that the V1073 and V1273 are great looking cameras. Both models come in either matt grey or matt black, with gunmetal and black details. Both share the same all-metal bodyshell, a rather minimalist rectangular slab shape with rounded corners. It is quite small at just 93.3 × 57.9 × 21 mm, although at 148g minus battery or card it is heavier than it looks.
The top plate carries the illuminated on/off switch and the shutter button, which is flat, smooth and mounted almost flush with the body, making it difficult to feel with your shooting finger. On the back of the camera are only three buttons, for playback mode, display mode and menu, and the zoom control, which is thin up-down rocker switch. Those three buttons are also mounted flush with the surface, and have to be pressed in with the edge of your thumbnail.
Everything else on the camera is controlled via the touch screen interface. As with most cameras employing this technology, I found that even on a three-inch screen the buttons and menu selections were just a little bit too small and fiddly for my large fingers and I was constantly finding myself in the wrong menu, however someone who didn't have a blacksmith for a grandfather would probably find it easier. The interface uses lots of gradient shading and animations, and looks very slick, but I found it a little slow at times.
One thing I also found slightly annoying was that the camera always starts in the default "Smart" mode, a fully automatic setting with no manual options. I far prefer cameras that remember how you had them set up, so that if the camera switches itself off you don't have to spend time putting it back into program mode and turning the flash off.
All of these small niggles pale into insignificance however, when compared to the major problem with both of these cameras. Outdoors in daylight, even on a cloudy day, the image on the monitor is almost invisible. I think the problem is that the touch-sensitive surface of the screen is slightly opaque, and reflects the ambient light more brightly than it transmits the light from the monitor behind it. Indoors or at night this isn't a problem, but outdoors it renders the monitor almost useless.
Would be nice with a review on the movie mode. As this is the big difference compared to other cameras.
panasonic fx35, TZ5 and sanyo hd800 is the competition
the best movie mode now the canon and sony cameras have, althou just VGA
Nice camera, shame about the Kodak's terrible customer service. Purchased mine on 4 May to capture baby's first weeks. Six weeks later - and ten days after birth - it broke. Kodak won't refund or exchange. Must be sent away for repair, taking around 3 weeks. No alternative means of photographing new born. Kodak now say I have to wait in for next 48 hours for UPS to collect product. Handy. Apparently, Kodak only refund products that break within 28 days - not a great endorsement of their products, is it?
Must agree that difficult to see in bright sunlight, but other than this great camera. Video so good that JVC everio now on Ebay, 4 gb card does 29 mins at high def. Simple to use , idiot proof even and great stills. One of the easiest cameras I have had to upload and sort with easyshare software.

Panini Bar
Setting up a panini bar makes assembling sandwiches almost as much fun as eating them. A selection of Italian cold cuts and cheeses, anchovies, freshly made pesto and tapenade, and two kinds of bread ensure that there is a combination to please everyone.
Source: Martha Stewart Living, July 2008
- 2 loaves ciabatta, halved horizontally
- 1 loaf whole-grain bread, sliced 1/2 inch thick
- Martha's Pesto
- Olive Tapenade
- 1/2 pound each thinly sliced soppressata, prosciutto, bresaola, and coppa
- 1/2 pound each thinly sliced smoked mozzarella, fresh mozzarella, provolone, fontina, and ricotta cheeses
- 2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 head radicchio, leaves separated
- 1 bunch fresh basil
- 1 jar (3 ounces) best-quality anchovies
- 1 bunch fresh oregano
- Lemon wedges, for squeezing
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Set out ingredients for guests to build panini. Heat a panini press. Brush each sandwich with oil, and place in press. Grill according to manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Place a sandwich in skillet, and top with a smaller heavy skillet. Cook, flipping once, until bread is golden brown and cheese melts, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to oven to keep warm. Repeat.

So we've established for certain that Ryan Leaf owns this place?
I'm suprised too - thought the dinner menue was over priced and certainly not enough food - Brunch was a much better value. My wife and i are shocked to see essentaily New York City prices at many of the new spots on upper King with out the quality- This includes The Grocery
I'm kind of suprised at the high star reviews too... The Grocery is good but it's not one of the greats. I would spend the same amount of money on a different restaurant. Good food, not awesome.
Stopped in the other night for a drink and menu read.
I had to put the phone light on menu to read, tiny lettering & dim light.
Ended up ordering the Beef Carpaccio and the Lamb/Pork wontons from the 'Starters'.
The carpaccio was awesome, just the right amount of heat from the chile, and literally melts in your mouth.
The wontons were delicious as well. Served piping hot and tasty as well.
Now the bad part. These 2 apps were $14 combined. The carpaccio was served on a plate about the size of a tea saucer or dessert plate, paper thin & one layer thick. Big on flavor - short on quantity. The wontons...5 in all, served on the same size plate, again, a small portion for the price.
Add to this a $5.50 can of beer and it starts to add up fast. I also found it odd that there was no draught beer. I know cans are all hip these days...but really $5.50? Dinner plates start around $12(it is a very limited menu) and climb up from there...with your can of beer in an old gas station. Obviously, some love goes into the food but if you have an appetite, or give due consideration to the value of a dollar, this may not be the place for you.
good food, but too crowded now. Also, sad to say the owner, though Irish, has NO idea how to cook a proper scone!
very average food, nice people but speak very very poor english
Wow, I'm pretty surprised at how well-reviewed the Grocery is here. I went with a group of 10, and none of us was particularly pleased with the food. The service was great and the decor was nice, but the food was overpriced for what it was and I feel like there are other restaurants downtown with a similar concept and better execution. I will not be going back.
Our dinner was less than inspiring, the kabobs were ok but boring, the wings were the same as was the burger. The food was just very mediocre. Their house red wine was decent and a relatively good buy. The cocktail I had was unique and I enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty loud inside and outside, but service was good. I will be back to try the all day breakfast options, though.
I was so excited to try out Ms. Rose's and walked away disappointed.
The food was so so but the service was terrible. Our server forgot our appitizer, let our water glasses sit empty and we had to remind her we ordered a second round of cocktails.
We ordered the gnocchi and a ruben. I asked to subsitute the protien in the gnocchi and our server said there was an upcharge, which i expected but it was her delivery that threw me off. The gnocchi was good, lots of flavor. The ruben was just average. I will give them credit for their fries. They were awsome.
I won't rush back anytime soon.
Love the style and the location is great in Avondale! Great beer selection and the food that I ordered was very good, albeit the presentation was a little lacking. I was however, a little disappointed in the margaritas. They taste wonderful, slightly sweet and tart, but when I think of a Mexican restaurant, I really picture large margaritas - not a small cynlinder glass filled with mostly ice. I want a giant margarita - at a good price. Otherwise, they seem successful and I hope that it continues!
The food I tried was bland. I tried the chicken taco and the Baja fish taco. Both were bland compared to Taco Boy. My friend had the Grilled Mahi taco and the Carne Asada taco. He agreed that the food needed more punch. The service was great and I liked the surf videos. Won't be back anytime soon.
I love going through the drive-thru at BBC, but the service inside the restaurant has been awful on the 3 occasions I've eaten there. I don't mind laid-back service, but in one visit, my waitress forgot multiple drinks, didn't put my order in at the same time as my dining companions', and wasn't at all apologetic. In an attempt to rush my food out, the kitchen delivered my "sautéed" fish almost entirely raw. To be fair, they did comp my meal - but I don't think I'll risk eating in, again.
I used to love Groucho's but I just went through the drive thru and ordered a white moose with extra sauce (which I didn't get)and a sweet tea. This cost me $10. The whole way home, all I could think about was that I feel ripped off. I can get a gourmet sandwich at Ted's Butcher block for the same price.. with Mac & Cheese!
Food: 5 stars
Drinks: 5 stars
Service: 1.5 stars
Atmosphere: 1 star
The food was worth the drive from Goose Creek. The Spanish Sunrise was a perfect brunch beverage and the coffee was nutty, rich, and delicious. The service was slow and server's attitude was flippant and off-putting.
I am not a fan of the industrial/warehouse setting but I understand it is a design trend. It feels unfinished and unwelcoming and cold.
Definitely think this event is overrated. We paid the $150 for each of us to be VIP, not to be confused with the VIP TABLE that was $1,000 for 6 people to have their own table. With the VIP ticket we were able to get a better liquor selection and access to the second floor. We were pretty excited for this event, but we were definitely let down. Last year we attending the Snyder Grand Ball right next store to the Hippodrome so I'm largely comparing my experience to the Aquarium's party.
-The imax area was very big and open which allowed for us to interact with friends without having to scream at each other while listening to a pretty good band
-The lines for drinks weren't very long, waited 5 minutes max for a drink
-Organization wasn't bad, waited about 10 minutes in line outside to get in. Pretty quick check in
-The VIP table members were taking seats from other tables and using end tables to sit on because there wasn't enough seating for the VIP table guests.
-The appetizers weren't very appetizing. I don't think warm deviled eggs go very well with whiskey. I was hoping for food a little more recognizable, not just slices of cucumber rolled up with some pinkish looking mayonnaise stuffed in it
-There weren't any tables or chairs to sit your drink on unless you went into the imax room in which case you can sit in those seats. But you're pretty much SOL for sitting down or having a table unless you get the VIP table
Next year we're just paying the $130 for the aquarium party where you get a much better selection of appetizers/food and seating available to everyone. I don't think the extra $40 was worth it for the VIP ticket. I'm not that picky with my alcohol and honestly, I would've been fine never stepping foot on the second floor. To me, it was an overpriced house party which we could've went to Red's for almost half of what we paid and got the same experience.
Let me 1st say, the doctors are nice. Of course you will have to wait until they call u back. Prepare yourself for 1hr and a half to 2 hrs if you have something plannned or have to work. The front desk are not so welcoming, particularly the black lady. She is rude, does not smile and does not greet you at all. Looks like she ate something bad and decided to take it out on the pregnant lady. She talks so low that you have to ask her to repeat herself and she gets an attitude with you. I've seen her treat the other patients like this, so at least it not me. It makes the visit very uncomfortable. No southern hospitality with this lady. So if you're ok with the wait and want to be disrespected then this is the place.
So-so food, drunken college kid crowd, and the beer selection is just a step above other bars on Shem Creek. I can't recommend this place, unless you just want to pound beers and yell a lot. I will probably revisit in a few months when the new bar crowd dies off.
I agree about the view, the food, etc. But there ain't nothing 'gracious' about the service. We laughingly call the man behind the counter "the bar nazi". Still we suffer his rudeness for the sunsets and oysters! Like they say at Bowens " some like it, some don't".
So I tried this place out and it's a little out of the way for me. There were some things I enjoyed and some things I felt could be better.
There was a 4square special for checking in and getting a free snack. I got the fried green tomatoes as I like FGT. I agree with the person above who mentioned this could be more seasoned. The cornmeal breading was kind of meh (like Shake and Bake would've been better lol) and it seemed the definition of seasoning that was performed was dump some salt and pepper into one spot.
I tried the tuna next. This was very tasty. I was just not thrilled at the price associated. I'm just glad that they do half off apps on Tuesdays to mitigate this a bit.
I also tried the ricotta cheese. The honey that came with the cheese and toast was a nice compliment. The ricotta in general by itself does not tend to have a lot of flavor, so the honey gave it just enough to be a nice little snack.
For dinner I had the chicken. It came with collards and mac/cheese. There was nothing special about the mac and cheese (a lot of places in town seem to add some little flare to mac and cheese to make it more memorable for grown ups), but then again this was just a side, so I really shouldn't expect much. The collards were decent after they gave me some extra vinegar to add. I think a little bit of salt would have helped too. The chicken was ok. I think the light breading they used was to better emphasize the honey. It was not bad, but not something I'd rave about.
The service was reasonable. There were times where there were lulls and times where they were well on top of things. I was waited on by a cute server named Ashley. I would go back if she asked me to go back lol.
Angel Oak is about a 30 minute drive from my place. It needs to come up with some more innovation to conventional items if I want to just randomly decide to go there with any kind of frequency. It should do more than simply be a place that has items A, B and C. It should have an awesome and innovative take on items A, B and C if it wants to draw people from further out.
This place is nothing to write home about. I tried it for both lunch and brunch. Nice laid back decor, but the service is slow even when its not busy, and their brunch menu is very limited. My eggs were cold and hard, but my grits were very tasty. I had lunch there as well. Burger is fine, but doesn't stand out. There are enough other places with better views that I'd go back to before heading back to the Shelter again.

Five major lenders, JP Morgan Chase & Co, Goldman Sachs Group, Deutsche Bank AG, Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Citigroup Inc, have agreed to finance the transaction. A trio of Japanese banks, Mizuho Financial Group Inc, Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, are also believed to be involved. SoftBank and Sprint are moving ahead, planning the transaction despite the odds that regulators will try to block the deal. According to those familiar with the transaction, the deal will be announced in August.
T-Mobile is owned by Deusche Telekom, and the German Telecommunications firm has apparently agreed to the broad outline of a deal that would pay T-Mobile stockholders $40 a share. That would value T-Mobile at $32 billion. If regulators block the transaction, Deutsche Telekom would receive a $2 billion break-up free from SoftBank. On the other hand, if Deutsche Telekom pulls out of the transaction, SoftBank will receive a $1 billion break-up fee from Deutsche Telekom.
There is speculation that if a deal is completed, T-Mobile CEO John Legere will be tapped to run the combined company.

While The Sun Is Above Us (edition 2012)
by Melanie Schnell
Work details
While The Sun Is Above Us by Melanie Schnell
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I've won a copy of this book through a Goodreads First Reads giveaway.
I think I've said "wow" 15 times after finishing this book, trying to figure out how to write this review.
When I saw this book on the Goodreads giveaways page, I knew I wanted needed to read it. When I saw the book was written by a white Canadian woman, like Sandra in the book, I was a bit worried. I worried that Sandra would dominate the book unfairly and that it would be all about her perspective. Or it would become another tale of "whitey saves the natives from themselves". I also worried that Adut wouldn't be come across with the accurate perspective of a native Sudan woman and would instead sound whitewashed.
After reading, I find those fears were unfounded and think Schnelle pulled it off expertly. From her bio on her website it says she lived in Sudan and from the Acknowledgement page in the book it's clear Schnell did an extensive amount of thorough research. I'm impressed with her effort and think it paid off.
{Admittedly, though I do not have first hand experience with Sudan or its people. All my knowledge, limited as it is, comes from news sources - which is hardly a bastion of objective reporting anymore. Thus, my statements are qualified with "I think".}
Both women have distinct, compelling voices. While I was able to grasp early on what happened when the two women crossed paths, I didn't know what lead up to that point. I was completely enthralled by these women and couldn't stop reading their story. Not only to find out what happened but also because it's written so well. This book is written so beautifully. The writing is crisp, clear and direct,which I think matches the subject and characters perfectly. I love how the women alternated telling their stories and how they switched between past and present.
It's an enjoyable read in a gripping, heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, stomach-turning kind of way. It's a great book. It's just not for the faint of heart. It's not gory, glorified or graphic but rather matter of fact and straightforward. It's so realistic and perfectly on point, I started to wonder if this did in fact really happen. That's how good was.
When Sandra and Adut are done telling their stories, it sticks with you after. What happened in this book is so haunting and their voices so strong. There is also the lingering questions that don't get answered. There might not even be answers to those questions but I couldn't help wondering anyways. The questions are ultimately minor in relation to the overall story but still, I'd love to know how it is all connected.

Pure Energy
Dont even try to understand how Thaddeus Phillips puts together a performance. He plucks seemingly random things from the air and somehow creates relationships from a whirling mass of stuff, and his newest work, Microworld(s) Part #1, is no different. Somehow mad scientist Nikola Tesla, the Nagakin Capsule Tower in Tokyo, Shakespeare, a Serbian expatriate and a rubber duck are seamlessly interconnected in the work as they spin around in a white box powered by foot pumps operated by audience members as they enter the theater.
Lost? No need. In his own magical way, Phillips, an expatriate friend of the Buntport Theater gang who returns occasionally to present his latest works, is certain to charm and entrance: Hell fool you into believing every minute of it and, in this case, loving that youve expended some of your own energy in making the whole thing work.
In typical fashion, Phillips began simply with the vision of doing a show powered by renewable energy. Then, while touring Serbia last summer, he came across the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade, which reveres the inventor who imagined such advances as solar energy and the Internet well before their time. He read an article in the New York Times about the Nagakin tower. There was a great quote in the article about how the building represented possibilities or roads not taken, he explains. And Tesla represents that as well. From that miasma came Milo, a Serbian guy living in a capsule apartment with his rubber duck (Tesla, Phillips notes, often talked to pigeons) and quotes Camus and...and, well, you get the picture. But not the denouement!
Microworld(s) opens tonight for previews and continues Thursdays through Saturdays, with three Sunday matinees, through November 8, at Buntport, 717 Lipan Street; for tickets, $10 for this weekends previews and $13 to $16 for the rest of the run, go to www.buntport.com or call 720-946-1388. And for more on Thaddeus Phillips, go to www.luciditysuitcase.org.
Thursdays-Saturdays, 7 p.m.; Thursdays-Saturdays, 7 p.m.; Sundays, 3 p.m. Starts: Oct. 15. Continues through Nov. 8, 2009

Some select sentences from the New Scientist's analysis.
CultureLab: Al Gore's underwhelming 24 hours
The high priest of climate change failed to make many converts.It was cringe-worthy, quite dull, and sadly not very compelling...It was an excruciating few minutes while the London moderators tried to keep the audience of about 100 in the small LSE auditorium busy with impromptu stand-up. We would hear a telephone ring, they said, and it would be Al.
Videos of republican US congressmen and anchormen from Fox News making entertaining statements about climate change pepper the segment on sceptics arguments. Each one, we are told, is a red herring (cue animated .gif of a red fish). Animated .gifs of large red fish are repeatedly contrasted with the word REALITY, writ large on a black background.
I'll spare you the rest - highlights from each city can be viewed online if you're curious. But the trouble is: it's dull. It's all been done and seen before, often better. (Dare I mention: if you want to see detailed explanations of classic sceptical arguments, see our own Climate Myths.)
But I'm still left with the overwhelming feeling that Gore's time is over. As Mike Shanahan of the International Institute for Environment and Development puts it: "climate change needs a Gandhi or a Martin Luther King or a Mandela, and Al Gore is none of those".

Social Enterprise Apps — $6 Billion Market Opportunity By 2016
Posted by Henry Dewing on September 30, 2011
- 508 Recommendations
- 8 comments
With the end of the quarter closing in, I wanted to take a step back and fill you all in on new research we have on the way. This quarter we looked at the evolution of Social Enterprise Apps, and their effect on the enterprise collaboration landscape. In today's globally dispersed, fast-paced, highly mobile workplace, high performance teams need new tools — and social appears to fit the bill.
What exactly is a Social Enterprise App? At a high level, Social Enterprise Apps enable info workers to establish and view groups of people, information, and processes. With embedded peer rating and information feeds about employee skills, team member profiles, team objectives, and project progress, info workers gain a deeper understanding of team performance goals and results.
What features do they have, and how do they affect business processes?
- Personal profiling identifies team members with the right skills.
- Activity streams increase awareness of achievements and status.
- Rating/voting enables learning from the accumulated knowledge of the team.
Where do we see this going? While the market is accelerating into hypergrowth as you read this, vendors are still early in product development. We believe the feature sets from social vendors will erupt in the next few years to a $6 billion opportunity.
Imagine flipping your computer screen every morning to a social portal that aggregates all YOUR most relevant work-related content, from most popular conversations amongst colleagues, latest meeting notes and sales projections, to project documents you are collaborating on with others, all within a sleek flipboard-esque (www.flipboard.com) interface. When you want to collaborate live with colleagues about topics you have reviewed, you could go to a virtual workplace (like www.sococo.com) to find those colleagues and have a live voice, video, or IM conversation. Advances in social analytics will create new connections within these interfaces, providing employees with access to each other's work environments based on matched skills and interests.
What enterprise 2.0 innovations do you see on the horizon? What will be the key feature set? Are there key business processes yet to become social? Who are the cool new vendors waiting to be discovered or the slumbering giants waiting for the right time to enter the market?

Shoes for the cobblers children - Social IT?
Comment from Paul Muller on Thu, 12/29/2011 - 19:39
What are your thoughts on IT itself as a candidate use case for social tech? I recently wrote about it as one of my "top 12 for 2012" topics that I think will be disruptive to IT management practices, especially when collaborative application development and delivery models such as Agile and Devops are factored in - without social tech, they're dead or *very* analogue.
I referenced your blog in it - I hope you don't object!
Social for IT Management
Comment from Henry Dewing on Fri, 12/30/2011 - 07:41
The technology management function (Forrester prefers to call it the business technology or BT organization) could certainly benefit from Social work processes. Employee self-help desks, sharing of best practices, identifying best programmers for a job, and closer ties to vendors are a few examples of benefit areas. BT is often the place where early trials of technology are initiated because the tech savvy workers both help improve the technology deployment and have the culture to adopt new technology. As you note in your blog - the seamless integration to work processes will be hard to achieve and critical to success.

Every footballer knows the tale. The team-mate who is dropped, then takes a half-hearted approach to training, and eventually becomes a damaging and divisive presence within the squad.
The player left repeatedly on the bench usually believes he has had a raw deal from his manager and if anyone at Tottenham is entitled to think in that manner, it is Michael Dawson.
Dawson is one of the most experienced players in the squad and has been a commanding, reliable presence in the majority of his 252 appearances for Spurs. This season, despite being named captain shortly before the campaign began, Dawson has played only four minutes of Premier League football for Andre Villas-Boas.
His two starts have come in the Capital One Cup and the Europa League and he hopes to make another in the latter competition, at NK Maribor in tonight's European contest.
Dawson rejected a move to Queens Park Rangers in the summer and, as fourth-choice centre-back he could be forgiven for concentrating solely on finding an escape route in January.
While the 28-year-old would not confirm his long-term intentions, he insists he will never develop into the sullen figure who quickly becomes the bane of a manager's life.
"Sulking is not something I've ever done, it's not something I'm going to do and it's not something I want to be around," he told Standard Sport.
"Everyone in the squad wants to play and I don't think it's right if people come in sulking.
"We all want to play but that's why you have to stay positive. When you're called upon, you need your team-mates to want to back you and fight for you. Do I still feel I can force my way in? Of course.
"I always back my own ability, because you have to. In a career you go through hard times and this is one of them, when I'm not playing.
"Under Harry Redknapp I was involved regularly and playing lots of games, so of course this is frustrating.I was used to being captain when Ledley King was unavailable and there was no better feeling than leading the team out. We went to play at some amazing places during those times and those memories will remain.
"I love playing football and I want to do it on a weekly basis. There is nothing better than training from Monday to Friday, winning the game on the Saturday and having that feeling on a Saturday night makes for a great week ahead. When you don't play, it's a different feeling."
A little more than a year ago, Dawson's career looked ready for take-off. He had been a vital member of the Spurs side that reached the Champions League for the first time in their history and he was similarly important the following season.
Tottenham progressed to the last eight of Europe's main club competition, beating Inter Milan and AC Milan on the way, with Dawson playing in both legs of the aggregate win over the seven-times' European champions.
There were also four caps for England that season, yet two serious injuries restricted him to only 13 appearances in the 2011-12 campaign, Redknapp's final one at White Hart Lane.
Sadly for Dawson, a change of manager has yet to bring a change of luck but his attitude is admirable. The defender believes his injuries last season have enabled him to retain a better perspective on his current situation.
"Last year the injuries kept me out for a long time and believe me, that's hard," he added. "At least when I get out on the training pitch, I'm doing something I love.
"I have to stay positive and ensure I have good people around me. Your family are the ones who have to put up with you on a daily basis and they're the ones who keep me going.
"You go home to your wife, make phone calls to mates.
"It was my choice to stay and fight for my position, simple as that. When the offer came [to join QPR], I decided I'd stay and work hard and when I'm called upon, I have to be ready.
"There are lots of games coming up. I've played already in the League Cup and the Europa League and hopefully, I'll be playing more.
"Would I still want to stay here long term? I want to play football; there is no hiding that. I'm a Tottenham player and I will keep working hard as I did on the day I signed."
Dawson has already praised Villas-Boas's open-door policy at Spurs but he stopped short of saying he was satisfied of the explanations he had been offered for his exclusion.
"He's the manager," he said. "His decisions are final. We've got top players here and whoever does play is top class. When my chance comes, I'll be ready."

mongosniff: error while loading shared libraries: libpcap.so.0.9Posted by Philipp in Linux
Lately I've worked with mongoDB which is a great NoSQL database. A tool which can come in handy is mongosniff, which comes with mongodb binaries. Mongosniff is something like tcpdump for TCP/IP.
On my Fedora 16 x86_64 System I'm running mongodb binaries available from mongodb, this allows me to easily run the version I want. But mongosniff didn't worked right out the box for it. When starting mongosniff I got following error: mongosniff: error while loading shared libraries: libpcap.so.0.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. So this mostly means that libpcap isn't installed, but this wasn't the case as you can see in a minute.
My first try was to install libpcap for my system but this didn't solve the problem. A lookup with ldd showed that indeed libpcap.so.0.9 was missing for it:
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffa30d2000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x0000003ef0400000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x0000003655a00000) libpcap.so.0.9 => not found libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x0000003ef1000000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x0000003654600000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x0000003ef0000000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000003eefc00000)
A check if any libpcap module was available showed that a too new version was installed and that a symlink as libpcap.so.0.9 was missing:
ls /usr/lib64/libpcap* /usr/lib64/libpcapnav.so /usr/lib64/libpcapnav.so.0 /usr/lib64/libpcap.so.1 /usr/lib64/libpcapnav.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib64/libpcap.so.1.1.1 /usr/lib64/libpcap.so
So creating a symlink for libpcap.so.0.9 solved the startup problem: ln -s /usr/lib64/libpcap.so.1.1.1 /usr/lib64/libpcap.so.0.9. If you're running a 32bit mongodb version you may check your /usr/lib to see if the required libpcap is missing. Don't know if this problem still exists if you're running mongodb from the offical repositoy.

To help you get started, I'm giving the first chapter of my life-changing book to everyone who subscribes to this blog. Subscribe right now for email or RSS updates and join the over 1,500 people who have read it for themselves!
#2 – This Blog Gives You Tips You Can Actually Use
Tired of all the "productivity" blogs out there that focus on silly hacks which either don't apply to you or tie you down to some crazy system that only makes your life more complicated in the long run? ("Getting Things Done," I'm talking to you.) Life isn't supposed to be hacked, it's supposed to be lived and enjoyed, and chances are the pace of life has been preventing you from living and enjoying your life the way you want to. You won't find blind robot productivity articles here or the fluff you'll find on your typical time management blog. Here you'll only find stuff that makes you think, gives you those "A-ha!" moments and can actually start changing your life, right away.
#3 – This Blog Has a Strict "No Bullshit" Policy
On the internet, it's easy to act like a "guru" and create the air of perfection, like you've got it all together and everyone should worship you. I've unsubscribed from too many blogs where the author was a self-styled "goo-roo" and I'm not going to pull that crap on you. Yes, I'm a damned good time management coach, but I still have my bad days. I teach people how to have work-life balance but sometimes I get a little overwhelmed myself. I'm human, I screw up (royally, at times), and I won't give you the BS that I'm perfect. I make mistakes like anyone else – but I have become very skilled with putting the breaks on and turning those mistakes around very quickly – and I'm going to teach you how to bounce back fast as well.
#4 – This Blog Can Make You Smarter And More Attractive
I ain't kidding. The articles you read here will make you stop and think about what you're doing with your life, and about how you don't want to settle for anything less than living one damned fine existence. You're going to learn how to stomp stress flat and get your life balanced. You'll learn how to start making your life what you want it to be, rather than running around like a hamster in a wheel, hoping the pace of life will let up for a while. (Guess what – it won't. You'll just learn how to handle it better.) And then what happens? You start getting smarter about the decisions you make in life, and as you drop stress and get more clarity on what you won't settle for, you'll become more confident about the direction of your life. And confidence is attractive, baby.
#5 – This Blog Can Make You Rich, Powerful and Successful
Money isn't everything – and power over others isn't success at all. When it comes down to it, true wealth is power over your own life, control of your thoughts, actions and emotions, and the ability to take a nice long soak in life and love it. That's success. Read this blog, try the strategies I lay out for you and you'll be on your way to generating the kind of emotional wealth that comes with a fulfilling life that you live on your own terms (instead of the sheep-like path society pressures us to take). If you take just one tip and use it, your whole life can begin moving in a better direction.

Yes, it sounded crazy to me too. But instead of getting abused by New England junior skiers for another weekend, I was headed to Newport Vermont, which is basically Canada, for a winter mountain bike race.
The whole week I was waffling on how I felt about the race. Biking on snow, which I had done a grand total of one time, I remember was fun. Driving 220 miles each way to do a race is not fun. Paying $54 entry fees, gas, and hotel is not fun. So this was teetering on the edge of being not fun. The real thing that had me scared, however, was the terrifying illiteracy of the race promoter. His blog/race info site included sentences like...
you should have some newspaper with it in order to help you start a fire if need be?
I'm trusting a guy who can't tell the difference between a question mark and a period to be in charge of this thing? Maybe it's years of being nagged by an English major (my mom), but I was seriously concerned by this. I had a feeling this guy was just going to tell us to "go 'bout 10 miles down dis trail, then bang a left, then, uh, go over to, uh, Newport Center... and uh, take trail 7 back. ok? go!"
But Linnea really wanted to go, so I caved, and we went. And I got there, and met the race promoter. And he talked kind of funny. You know why? Because he's French Canadian.
He's French Canadian!
No wonder he doesn't give a crap about writing English, it's his second language! He just carpet bombs a sentence with nouns and verbs and figures he'll hit something close to what he wanted to say. All is forgiven, Quebecois-race-promoter-man!
Ok! Racing time. The 30 milers started at 8am, about 30 of them. It was zero degrees. I was freezing, and scared. Us sissy 10 milers caravan'ed over to the 10 mile start at 9am and I got even more nervous. Was I going to lose my toes? All I had was my bike shoes covered with my skiing overboots. Standing around watching the start at 8am, my whole body was cold, not just my feet. I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm going to die in the woods...
It probably wasn't that bad. The sun came out, and the wind didn't come up. We rolled down the dirt road around 10:15, all 15 of us. The lead was quickly taken up by a girl in a full Trek/VW kit, riding a full XTR carbon fiber hardtail, who had her name and an American flag on her top tube. I had a sneaking suspicion that she might, in fact, know what she was doing. More on her later.
After a minute of riding on a dirt road (man, this winter mountain biking is easy!) we turned onto a snowmobile trail. In a matter of seconds the race completely changed. This is what went through my head.
- Riding on this road is easy. I can't believe I paid $50 for this.
- Hey, we're turning.
- Whoa, I'm slowing down.
- Better start pedaling. And shifting.
- Whoa, I'm still slowing down.
- I can't even steer this thing.
- Whoa, I'm basically stopped.
- *Churn pedals and moves at 2mph*
- Holy crap what did I get myself into
It was really that bad. Out of 15 people, I think 13 of us were off the bike within a minute of hitting the trail. I zigzagged around at walking pace trying to find solid snow to ride on, and generally failed miserably. I started running with my bike, because I'm a cross racer, darn it, and that's just how we deal with adversity.
Unfortunately the field was half a mile long, and I was running in snow, so I didn't really get that far before I went back to slogging at 2mph. After 5 more minutes of suffering, it was about 100 degrees inside my winter outfit (because somehow I thought winter biking would be way colder than skiing, ha ha), and I got to the end of the field. I was up to 4th place because everyone else was having as much fun as I was.
Somewhere along the line I let more air out of my tires, so I was probably running 20 psi. I think that helped. It turned out that that field was really the worst part of the course -- once we got onto the snowmobile trails in the woods it was genuinely ridable. You still had to sit back, not steer, and pedal smoothly -- but you could actually do it. The fun factor increased exponentially.
So Linnea and I rode together for 8 miles of pretty fun snow biking. It was a race, but not that serious. I took about 5 minutes longer than necessary at the first checkpoint and we lost 4 places. I yelled "WATTS" when I tried to ride up a steep hill and failed. Things were going well.
The really great thing about riding on snowmobile trails is descending. It is an awesomely out of control experience -- you just get way back and push on the bars to keep them straight. You try to relax, fight your bike anyway, generally slide all over the place, but somehow stay upright.
The race ended with an epic mile of suffering across Lake Memphramagog. Linnea and I had actually passed enough people back that we were up to 3rd, riding with the 2nd place rider. Riding across the lake, there was a little plowed strip of ice (instead of drifted snow) to ride on, so you could actually get moving. I "put the hammer down" and "attacked" (these words are in quotes because it was really pretty feeble) Linnea and the guy in 2nd and opened up a nice 50 yard lead by the end of the lake. Woohoo! I'm doing great! My legs hurt but I'm almost done... oh crap the plowed section ended.
I immediately floundered helplessly in the the soft snow, thrashed myself sideways, got off, got back on, and hey, there they are, right next to me! That lead really paid off.
It was too soft to ride effectively in. My girlfriend is right behind me and has a legitimate chance of beating me. My legs are now really quite cooked from my fruitless attack. This must be how Ryan Kelly feels in every race. But I'm a cross rider, damnit.
So I did what I had to do. I ran, pushing my bike through the snow for about a minute, until I couldn't run any more, and then I staggered up the bank off the lake. I got on my bike, fought some more soft snow, and made it to the finish line in 2nd overall.
The two people I was racing against? They didn't give a damn. They walked their bikes through the snow and finished calmly, because they're not hypercompetitive idiots.
So maybe I tried too hard, but I was second, and I was the first man in, because all the real men were riding the 30 miler. The winner turned out to be that pro woman, which didn't really bother me until I saw the times.
Her time: 1:12
My time: 1:36
I got girled by 24 minutes and I was still the first guy in. Put another way, I was 33% back and still got second place.
That girl kicked my ass in a way Lynn Bessette can only dream of.

Juniper Networks Inc. lost about a fifth of its market value Wednesday, a day after the networking company said economic concerns are pressuring business and government spending. The comments from the Sunnyvale, Calif., company raised concern about second-half spending on networking products and weighed on the sector's stocks Wednesday. Industry giant Cisco Systems Inc., which has talked about the economy's "mixed signals" and air pockets for almost a year, fell 3.7 percent. Read the rest of this post on the original site »

There already is a thread in the TS10 chapter but stil I'd like to put it down here.
TS10 seems to be down, and although I'm sure the boys & girls of Travian are working hard to fix this, we'd love to have some information. Downtime can happen ofcourse, but please let us know what is going on.
I managed to get in briefly and it seems the clock on the server is still running: neg crop is flying away and it's likely a lot of people will lose troops due to starvation. Somehow I could NPC -with a lot of refreshing- but this is getting a tricky situation prety soon...
Phanttis seems to be on holiday (have fun!), perhaps Tschena can fill us in?
thanks in advance.
Yours truly,
TS10 players

I knew it was an awd turbo and know that they are pretty quick, especially if they have been upgraded. this one looked and sounded like it had some upgrades, but nothing too crazy...exhaust, box and small front mount. anyway, he asked if i wanted to race at the light and i said yeah... at the light i pulled out about a car or so on him and held it up through mid third gear. the second time we did it from a roll..i was in mid 2nd gear when he hit it... i nudged him through third this time, but only about 3/4 of a car or so.
dammit. need some mods quick (immediate plans: downpipe, uppipe, cobb ap, borla hush, Sti intercooler).

text: I know nothing about trainers but given the wide range in pricing I presume there is a wide range in quality and features. This isnt for anything competitive but I don't want to miss out on opportunities to build some stamina during the dark nights. I have quickly found that hills do some great things, so I would like something that can be programmed between incline and flat, if thats possible. Not really sure on budget... I don't expect it will be $100 but also dont want it to be $500. If something good is out there for $200 - $300 that would be about what I plan to spend.

"The economic downturn last year hit our members hard," AARP CEO Bill Novelli told reporters.
The 40-million member group said it is working to ensure the stimulus package being developed by President-elect Barack Obama includes help for the unemployed and aid to cash-strapped states for health care.
The group is also seeking help for homeowners facing bankruptcy, money for job training in health care professions, and aid for doctors and hospitals to upgrade health information sharing technology.
The group said it also is seeking long-term economic improvements such as broad health care reform aimed at controlling costs and improving care.
"We cannot fix the economy with out fixing health care," said AARP Executive Vice President Nancy LeaMond.
Obama has made overhauling the U.S. health care system a major priority, and AARP is part of a coalition that includes business and union groups that is pushing to ensure that health care reform that controls costs and improves care remains at the top of the new administration's agenda. Continued...
