Book review: GBH by Ted Lewis
British author Ted Lewis is best known for his second novel, Jack's Return Home (filmed in 1971 as Get Carter, the title by which subsequent editions of the book would be known). But many believe his greatest work was his last, GBH, published in 1980, two years before his death.
For a long time, you could only read GHB if you could find and afford a scarce second hand copy. Thankfully, it has recent been re-released by Syndicate Books (along with the rest of Lewis's work) a subsidiary of the prestigious and well known crime fiction press, Soho Crime.
GHB is the story of George Fowler, former head of a powerful London based criminal organisation that controlled the largest porn distribution network in the UK. His products are far worse than being merely 'blue movies', as they are rather innocuously referred to, and include, it is strongly inferred, snuff films, which Fowler sells to a small group of very deranged and very rich clients.
Fowler has everything: money, muscle, a wonderful penthouse with a sunken lounge (the key signifier in Lewis's books, of any underworld villains worth their salt) and a beautiful, intelligent girlfriend, Jean, who helps run his empire and isn't at squeamish about what Fowler does.
Then someone starts undermining his organisation from within.… Read more

Ephemera from the 1971 film, Get Carter
Following on my essay earlier this week in the Los Angeles Review of Books on Ted Lewis, his Jack Carter books and the film adaption of the first book, Get Carter (which you can check out here if you if you are interested), I thought readers might be interested in a selection of ephemera from the books and film.
The 1971 movie, directed by Mike Hodges, does not need any introduction here. While it is by no means the best british crime movie ever made, as some would claim, it is a good one and has been very influential, in terms of plot, characterisation and visual feel.
For those who are interested, there are a lot more terrific behind the scenes images from Get Carter here on the official Ian Hendry website.… Read more
Get Carter, again
It is impossible to discuss British author Ted Lewis's 1970 novel, Jack's Return Home, without mentioning its better-known 1971 film adaptation,Get Carter. Rarely has such an influential crime novel dwelt so deeply in the shadow of its cinematic adaptation. In the wake of the movie's success, the book was quickly retitled Get Carter (which is how I'll refer to it) and the main character forever associated with British actor Michael Caine, then at the height of his preternaturally long acting career, in a snappy suit and tie, grimly looking over the barrel of a shotgun.
Not that anything else Lewis wrote was particularly successful. As British crime writer Ray Banks observed in a piece on the site The Rap Sheet: "As far as forgotten books go, you could make a claim for pretty much anything Ted Lewis wrote." But what Lewis lacked in sales, his books, particularly Get Carter, made up for in the glowing praise of crime writers, nearly all of it posthumous.
Get Carter and its subsequent prequels, Jack Carter's Law (1974) and Jack Carter and the Mafia Pigeon (1977), have recently been rereleased by Syndicate Books, which marks the first time they have been available in North America for 40 years.… Read more
Noir Con or bust guest post #1: Heath Lowrance
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned I'd be asking several US writers and bloggers I dig to guest post on Pulp Curry in the lead-up to my visit to the US to attend Noir Con in Philadelphia in early November. It's a way of giving regular Pulp Curry readers a little taste of the crime writing scene in the US.
First up is Heath Lowrance, whose latest book City of Heretics has just come out through Snubnose Press, the same publisher as my debut novel Ghost Money.
City of Heretics is about an aging con named Crowe, just out of prison and back in Memphis, ready for some payback against the criminals who got him sent up. Before Crowe can enjoy his revenge he has to track down a brutal murderer cutting a swath through the city—ultimately leading Crowe to confront a bizarre secret society of serial killers masquerading as a Christian splinter-group.
It's not the first time Lowrance has appeared on Pulp Curry. I reviewed his debut novel The Bastard Hand on this site last year. Lowrance writes across a number of genres, including crime fiction and Westerns. He's one of those writers who combine the knack for telling a good hard boiled with excellent writing.… Read more
Crime fiction criminals
By definition, the majority of crime fiction characters are criminals or at least commit illegal and/or immoral acts. But books where the main character is a full-time professional criminal are surprisingly few and far between. Here's a selection of some of the best.
It's worth noting that when this post originally appeared on the Crime Fiction Lover website, readers came up with several good additions, including Andrew Vachss's Burke, Charlie Huston's Henry Thornton, Lawrence Block's hitman character Keller and Patricia Highsmith's Tom Ripley. I had originally thought of including the James Ellroy character Dudley Smith ("Knock, knock, who's there, Dudley Smith, so reds beware"), but he's a bent cop so not eligible. However, Ellroy's Pete Bondurant would definitely make the cut.
Please leave a comment if you can think of any others.
Parker by Richard Stark (aka Donald Westlake)
The 24 books written between 1962 and 2010 featuring the professional thief known as Parker remain some of the best crime fiction ever written. Sixteen Parker novels appeared between 1962 and 1974. Westlake took a rest from the character until 1997, then wrote another eight Parker books.
Parker is a career criminal who steals things for a living. Get in his way on a job or try to double cross him afterwards and he'll hurt you.… Read more

College-wide Policies
Smoking Policy
Colorado College is committed to providing an environment for students, faculty, staff, contractors, and guests that is conducive to learning, healthy, and comfortable. Therefore, the college will maintain balance between affording non-smokers with protection from involuntary exposure to environmental smoking and expectations that may be perceived as attempts to manage the conduct and the choice of smokers. Given that philosophy and the college's compliance with the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act, the college prohibits smoking in all college-owned, -leased or -operated buildings, and building entrances. For the purposes of this policy, references to smoking include the use of marijuana and all tobacco products (including but not limited to cigarettes, bidis, or kreteks, also called clove cigarettes). Although the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act does not address smokeless tobacco, the college encourages all members of its community to consider the potential health risks of using such products.
All financial and administrative policies involving community members across campus are within the scope of this policy. If there is variance between departmental expectations and the common approach described through college policy, the college will look to the campus community to support the spirit and the objectives of college policy.
Authorities delegated and retained/administrative responsibility
The president of the college delegates administration of the college's smoke-free environment policy to the dean for student life and the vice president for finance and administration.
Limiting exposure to tobacco smoke
Smoking is prohibited in entryways and all enclosed areas:
- Classrooms, auditoriums, work areas, private offices, conference and meeting rooms, lounges and cafeterias, hallways, medical facilities, restrooms, elevators, stairs and stairwells
- Vehicles owned, leased or provided by the college
Smoking products of all types is prohibited in the following outdoor areas:
- The seating and parking areas of outdoor sports centers or fields and other venues where members of the general public assemble to witness entertainment events
- The Cabin
- The Baca
Preserving the integrity of this policy
Members of our campus community, as well as our guests, are expected to observe the provisions of this policy; organizers of events held on campus must advise participants of the college's policy while community member are encouraged to report concerns to Campus Safety.
Campus Safety ensures that persons smoking on campus are advised or reminded of the college's smoking policy.
If an infraction occurs: students will be referred to the appropriate student conduct office as non-compliance with this policy is a violation of the Student Code of Conduct; faculty, staff and contractors failing to abide by the expectations of this policy will be referred to their immediate supervisors or managers for appropriate action; guests will be required to leave campus if they refuse to comply with the expectations of this policy once advised.
Indoor areas:
the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act defines but does not limit indoor areas to the following:
- Public places and buildings such as elevators, restrooms, theaters, museums, libraries, schools, educational institutions, retirement facilities, and nursing homes
- Lobbies, reception areas, hallways, and any other common-use areas
- Any place of employment not exempted
- Restaurants, bars, limited gaming facilities, billiard or pool halls, bowling alleys, grocery stores, and any food-service establishment
- Indoor sports arena, gymnasiums, and auditoriums
- Health-care facilities, hospitals, health-care clinics, doctor's offices, and child day-care facilities
- No less than 75 percent of hotel or motel sleeping quarters rented to guests
- Jury waiting and deliberation rooms, courtrooms, and public meetings
- Government-owned mass transportation of any kind
the outside of the front or main doorway leading into a building. Entryways also include the area of a public or private property within a specified radius outside the doorway. The specified radius shall be determined by the local authority or, if the local authority has not acted, the specified radius shall be 15 feet.

To regain their relevancy, Democrats need to go back to their evolutionary roots.
The NSA drama has reeled in a host of global grandstanders desperate for relevancy.
"We think there should be a nexus between the actual work people are doing and the relevancy of drug abuse," he says.
Exclamations of horror greeted this gruesome tale, the relevancy of which no one had as yet perceived.
This reflection suggested some meaning—some relevancy—in the death's-head.
By-and-bye, without any relevancy at all, he said abruptly, "If a little sooner she had come—aho!"
Mr. Garth appeared to be puzzled to catch the relevancy of the remark.
I pass over the incidents of the rest of my sojourn at St. Julian, as having no relevancy to the object of this work.
The true explanation is to be found in the principle of relevancy.
If the last alternative is true, then the other two have no relevancy to the subject in hand.
"pertinent to the matter at hand," 1550s, from Middle French relevant "depending upon," originally "helpful," from Medieval Latin relevantem (nominative relevans), from stem of Latin relevare "to lessen, lighten" (see relieve). Not generally used until after 1800.

Supermodel Natalia Vodianova Dares To Leave House With Unshaven Legs
International crisis alert! Supermodel and all-around babe Natalia Vodianova dared to show up at the Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year ceremony night before last with legs that had not been shaved. I know! You can hardly believe it either. The Daily Mail dedicated an entire article to this body hair situation (as did we, apparently), and, get this, Vodianova had the nerve to flaunt her fur by pulling up her skirt for the photographers. Not only that! Coco Perez has previously documented sightings of the model's thigh hair. As StyleList points out, she's a mother of three, so maybe she didn't have time to get out the razor. Check out the hair concern here, if you so desire. [StyleList]

Latest question:
How do you think the new GigE standards will influence the machine vision industry?
Respond or ask your question now!
"Stereo optics devices provide extra dimension and clarity�we can see much more clearly the interactions between a potential drug compound and a target protein molecule. While this capability used to be very expensive and only available to select researchers, Quadro makes it affordable."
One of the keys is how the drugs dock, or react to each other. The NVIDIA GPU takes some of the mathematical tedium out of the process, says Jeff Brown, general manager, NVIDIA Professional Solutions. "There's a lot of math going on there in all the simulations. Huge variables are being done on the fly. What you see is the result of that math, called rendering. These are physics calculations that super computers used to do. Now clusters of graphics processors can do a lot more iterations. They're providing the tools that scientists need. It helps them move applications and optimize them on GPUs."
In docking, molecular modeling techniques are used to predict how macromolecules (typically proteins) interact with other molecules, which may be other proteins, nucleic acids or small drug-like molecules. How a protein interacts with small molecules may enhance or inhibit its biological function. This plays an important role in the rational design of drugs.
"The idea," Rizzo says, "is that drugs fit a target like a lock and key. If you understand the interactions of drug and protein, your brain is the best computer. It picks up things during the analysis. With docking, you can look for a new drug for any given target using computation. You dock in the molecules one at a time and compute its binding properties.
Computation, in various forms, speeds up the drug discovery process which of course is vitally important."

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Ok your problem here is a very common one, the drum supports (wheels) 21 have started to seize and will need to be replaced, You may want to replace the front drum glides also as part of maintenance. The parts are very cheap. To get to the parts take the top off the machine by removing the screws along the rear lip, next take the top panel off, then take the panel out from under the door, remove the control panel then disconnect the door switch, remove the front door panel then disconnect the belt and pull the drum out through the front.You will then have access to replace the supports and front felt/glides.
I would like to earn your highest rating, if you are not totally satisfied with my answer please hit the continue button.
If I have answered your questions to your satisfaction please feel free to come back at any time after rating me "Excellent service" for additional questions you may have at no further charge :)Sometimes I will have to give bad news, Please try to find it in yourself to rate me for the service not the bad news.Thanks!Mike.
How many of the supports are there? 4 I'm guessing. What are the part numbers I would need to order parts and where would you recommend I order them from?
Can we continue to use the dryer? Till I fix it, ASAP of course.
Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX to be the best possible outcome from the noise we are hearing.
I would like to earn your highest rating, if you are not totally satisfied with my answer please hit the continue button.
I have a follow up question. The recommend repair doesn't seem like the real problem. All drum rollers spin fine and smooth with out noise. But while scratching my head, I was playing with other parts, motor and idler pulley. The idler pulley seems to be the source of all the noise. Is this typically the issue? I'm already into the project the cost of this question and $80 for parts I don't seem to need.
Yes but you never mentioned that this might be the cause of the problem, and now I'm waiting on parts and the dryer is in pieces all over my garage. I'm hoping the part arrive in time for me to re-assemble the machine before the next weekends laundry day.
While your feedback and pointer to the repair parts site have been good, I'm disappointed that you neglected to include the idler pulley in your recommendations. Based on this I would rate your service as only Good.
I'd rather you had mentioned all 5 parts as needing repair so I could have completed the work in 1 day rather then spread out over 2 weekends.

     I'd love for NB to eventually have all the equipment that TechShop has! That might take awhile, though. But isn't it also nice to have alternate locations for playing with this equipment?

 I emailed Jim, and he told me that he is interested in working out some sort of reciprocal arrangement with NB and maybe other hackerspaces for members in good standing. I'm communicating with him about this...

 He also told me that there is a preview event this Saturday at 4pm to generate some buzz, and it is open for anyone interested in showing up outside the building:

 "I'll be there to meet with potential lenders and members, and answer questions."

Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Rain Water Harvesting
This course will provide an overview of rainwater harvesting, history, uses and applicability to conserving rainfall as a natural resource. We've divided this class into 2 portions. The first portion is free and the second is $35, which covers the cost of constructing a rain barrel. You must attend the first class in order to attend the second. The second portion is optional.
During the first portion of the class, participants will discuss the benefits of rain water harvesting and learn all aspects of building and maintaining both passive and active container catchments (rain barrel). Passive catchments are landscapes that use rain as their only source of water. They include roof gardens, rain gardens, bog gardens and swales. Components of such systems will be shown, and participants will be walked through the steps of designing and building rain gardens and other passive-catchment systems.
Cost: Free (all participants must register)
In the second portion of the class, participants will build their own rain barrel. We'll be modifying a common 55-gallon drum for harvesting rain water. They will also learn how to cover, hide or decorate large tanks to make them more aesthetically pleasing. Setting up solar-powered pump and incorporating drip-irrigation systems will also be covered.
Cost: $35 / $30 for Master Gardeners (all participants must register)
August 3, 9am - 12pm Location: Iron County Visitor's Center, 581 N Main, Cedar City

If you are a Washington Capitals fan, you know who this blogger is. If you visit SBN Nation, you know who this blogger is. If you follow Greg Wyshynski via Twitter, you know who this blogger is.
This blogger needs no introduction as he is J.P. from the well known Japers' Rink blog on SBN Nation. J.P. was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to tell us about how he got into the game, the Capitals, blogging about hockey, his thoughts on the industry as well as his take on the current Capitals team. Thanks, J.P.!
PH: How did you get into hockey?
JP: Such an easy question, but one for which I don't have a good answer. My dad started taking me to Caps games out at the old arena in Landover when I was seven or eight, and I have been a fan ever since.
PH: Growing up, who was your favorite team/player?
JP: I've always been a Caps die-hard, and my first favorite player was Bengt Gustafsson; I dug his name.
PH: At what point in your life did you know that you wanted to be a hockey writer/blogger?
JP: I started writing about hockey towards the end of the lockout while studying for the Maryland Bar Exam, but it's always just been for fun or as an outlet of some sort. I never really wanted to be a hockey writer, but I can fake alright it at times.
PH: Besides Japers' Rink, (we'll get to that later), what other outlets have you covered hockey for?
JP: I wrote at FanHouse for a while. That's it.
PH: How did you get the Japers' Rink gig at SB Nation?
JP: The folks at SBN approached me and asked if I'd be interested, and once I heard that James Mirtle was going to lead their hockey section, I jumped at the chance. The SBN platform is just unreal, and the corporate/IT folks and bloggers are great.
PH: Tell us about your experience at Japers' Rink. What do you try to bring readers who come to the site?
JP: I try to provide a place for intelligent conversation about the team we all love. Obviously, we try to inform our readers in ways that other outlets aren't, but it's really about the discourse and I think that our community has really helped to make the site what it is today. It's smart, it's fun and all our readers are better-than-average looking.
PH: How rewarding has this gig been for you? What has happened to you as a hockey blogger because of your efforts?
JP: It's been great. I've made great friends through blogging and have had opportunities I'd never thought I'd have, but I owe a lot of that to the fact that the Caps are the single-most forward looking organization in all of sports in terms of engaging and encouraging new media. That I can stand in the locker room shoulder-to-shoulder with the pros and not feel entirely out of place is rather remarkable.
PH: What direction do you think hockey blogs will take over the next couple of years? Do you think their importance will keep on increasing as coverage in the newspapers, at least in the U.S., dwindles down?
JP: I think blogs can fill gaps in newspaper coverage, but are unlikely to ever replace dailies who have either adapted a bit to the new media realities or have died off. The fact remains, though, that they're the ones traveling and covering the teams 24x7, and they're writing for broader audiences who don't care about Corsi ratings or updates on a team's OHL prospects and so on. We, on the other hand, are basically hobbyists who write for fans who want a bit more. I'm pretty sure we can all co-exist peacefully.
PH: Now for some actual hockey talk - what has impressed you most about the Capitals this season? Why? Where do you see them finishing come April and how far do you think they can go in the playoffs?
JP: What hasn't impressed me about the Caps this season? The offense is a juggernaut, the defense has improved and the goaltending has been strong no matter who's been between the pipes. But they were very good last season for the first 82 games, so regular season accomplishments are enjoyable in the here-and-now but won't be satisfying if the post-season doesn't end well. So that's the $64,000 question, and the answer… I can see them winning the East in the regular season and would be disappointed with anything short of an Eastern Conference Finals appearance. But there isn't a team in the sport that can beat the Caps when they're playing their best, so the sky's the limit.
PH: Quick - Name the three medal winners at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver? Why?
JP: Russia, Sweden and Canada. Why? Ovechkin, Backstrom and refs who will cheat for them, respectively. Just kidding. Sorta.
PH: Any words of wisdom for readers here at Kukla's Korner?
JP: Don't drink and drive and don't root for the Flyers.

May 22, 2013 - By Andrea Novotny, Staff WriterThe Fort Thompson Green Blanket Map-In will provide the public with opportunities to learn about and participate in the creation and use of stone tools. The event, hosted by Burr and Chancey Garetson, will be at 9 a.m. Saturday through Tuesday at the Garetson Ranch, 8531 Highway 789.
A map-in is the term for a gathering of flint knappers, and knapping is the art of shaping stone into tools.
The Fort Thompson Green Blanket Map-In is free and no registration is necessary. Activities will be provided for participants of all ages.
The Wyoming Archaeology Society will attend from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday.
Russell Richard, representing the Wyoming Atlatl Association, local flint knapper Burr Garetson, and others will demonstrate flint knapping, primitive bow shooting, spear throwing, atlatl use, obsidian spalling, and Clovis point making.
Attendees will get the chance to participate in many of the activities. There will be picnics.
In addition to being a unique learning opportunity, Garetson said he expects the event to be fun and culturally enlivening.
"I like to involve people in their past," Garetson said. "Stone tool making is something that belongs to all of us; nobody has ancestors that didn't make stone tools."

Arduino Projects Hobby Projects Tutorials
This section is a group of projects based on the Arduino micro controller. It's very inexpensive and easy to learn using a type of 'C' language. Note that I've used the Arduino Mini and their Bare Bones Kit from Modern Devices Company. I'm very pleased with both. If one can't solder then please buy an assembled kit. All information presented in these projects is free for anyone to use and there is no warranty of any kind.
These projects are for those with a two year degree, the garage tinkerer, ham operator, or even a kid in vocational school. Note that on Ebay there are a number of starter kits for sale by a number of individuals. These would be very good for those starting out from scratch. One will also need a PC and USB cable and/or USB to RS232 adaptor.

Basic digital circuits would be a big help. Now for what upsets so many students: Math class up through trigonometry, Algebra 2, or better pre-calculus as a minimum. In addition a real laboratory science class in inorganic chemistry (CHEM. 101 and/or CHEM. 102) and/or physics 101/102 for technology (available in most community colleges) would be a big help. This is technology oriented physics, not so much the more abstract four-year transfer type.
What is the difference between a micro-controller versus a micro-processor? A micro-processor requires a number of external integrated circuits (ICs) in order to function such a memory, I/O ports, system clock, etc. A micro-controller has all of this built in internally saving a lot of time and cost just getting the system to operate at all. The above illustrates a completely functional Arduino controller. For an example of a micro-processor "board" see the KIM-1 my first computer

Chinese Horiscopes for 2000
The Chinese zodiac consists of 12 signs, and therefore revolves in a 12 year cycle...in order to find your horoscope sign, search for your birth year, and that will fall under your sign. 2000 is the year of the Dragon. Good luck in finding your sign and may the fates smile upon you!
The first sign is the sign of the Sheep/Ram
Years:1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003
Personality: You're passionate, wise and gentle. You're also timid, lack direction in your life, always tardy and tend to eexpect the worst. But you'll never lack the comforts of life. You have the imagination to transform your surroundings and like to sruround yourself with beauty. You're willing to help others, but only if there's no fuss. Gratitude makes you uncomfortable. Sheep are compatible with rabbits, pigs, and horses, incompatible with the ox and the dog signs. Sheep are good money managers and make good treasurers or accountants. Sheep hate losing and will go to great lengths to win. They are deep people and don't show their feelings. Male sheep like to control money and female sheep like to spend it. They may tend toward vanity.
Predictions:A mobile year is predicted for sheep, with out-of-town work going well and producing good money, but backstabbing and controversy for those who stay put. It's a relatively healthy year for sheep, but accidents are a problem, especially for those born in 1943. Sheep should drive especially carefully and beware of sharp objects. Romance may be fun this year for sheep, but not serious. Sheep born in 1955 should particularly avoid being a guarantor for other people, which is likely to lead to loss of money and a friend.
The second sign is the sign of the Monkey
Years: 1920. 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004
Personality:Monkeys tend to be erratic but tinged with genius. You're versatile, inventive, original, decisive, sensible, good with money and a great problem-solver. You are an extremely generous and entertaining friend. You thirst for knowledge and have the potential to achieve fame and fortune. The trouble with you is, you know it. You also tend to be vain, selfish, and jealous of others' achievements. Dragons and raater are compatible, tigers are not. The monkey is a dreamer, with wonderful imagination and intuition. Monkeys have a way of feeling other's feelings, are especially interesting people and can make excellent artists. Monkeys don't find decision-making easy, but they are stubborn and once a decision is made, they won't change
Predictions: It's going to be a busy year for monkeys and a particularly good year for those holding public office or in service industries. Romance looks good in 2000 (it's an auspicious time for monkeys to marry). But it's not a big money-making year. Health problems are likely to centre on the digestive system. It's a year of good results for monkeys turning 8 this year. For those born in 1956, relationships look volatile.
The third sign is the Horse
Years:1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002
Personality:You're happy-go-lucky, quick to compliment others and, as a consequence, very popular. You've got a good head on your shoulders, especially in regard to money. But while you are superbly practical and inventive, you are also impulsive, impatient, and easily angered. Nor are you as self-confident as you look, particularly when you're dealing with the opposite sex. You're most compatible with tigers, dogs and sheep, least with rats. The horse tends to be impatient and wants everything done right away without worrying about the nitty gritty. Horses tend to be well-liked, highly sociable, and outgoing, bright, energetic, and easy to love. Horses hide their worries and often hide their true opinions of others, not wanting to hurt anyone's feelings. They are generous to a fault: If you need to borrow money, ask a horse
Predictions:Those born in horse years have a stable year ahead at work, with income sources steady. But romance looks like a downer all this year, especially for those born in 1966. The horse's health picture may include bleeding problems in 2000. Horse people born in 1954 will attract much admiration from those around them.
The fourth sign is the Rooster
Years:1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005
Personality:You're a loner, an over-achiever, and a hard worker, and you always think you're right. As a consequence, you tend not to trust other people and you're sometimes disappointed in yourself. You speak your mind forcefully and give the impression of being adventurous. But really, you're not. Maintaining your appearance takes up considerable amount of your time. Roosters are compatible with the ox and dragon signs, incompatible with rabbits. Hens and roosters love good food and tend to be spendthrifts. Don't pick a fight with them: they are argumentative and become terribley unreasonable when angered. They make good lawyers, but not accountants because of a a lack of thoroughness in their approach. Hens and roosters think they're smartest of all. They are kind-hearted and love to help others.
Predictions: They can put last year's griefs behind them:2000 is a time of good changes and a much luckier year for hens and roosters. Income improves and romance is looking good. They may still be exhausted from last year's overwork, but they can relax and exercise to charge their batteries for the good things coming. Hens and roosters born in 1969 have a particularly busy and positive year, romantically speaking. Those born in 1957 should stay away from gambling or guaranteeing loans.<./P>
The fifth sign is the Snake
Years:1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001
Personality:You have the gift of being able to make money, but you tend to be reluctant to part with it. You think a lot, talk little and are very wise. You are a good judge of character and opportunities. When you have a goal, you will not abandon it until completion. Vanity may be one of your failings. You are most compatible with people born in the years of the ox and rooster, least compatible with the tiger and pig signs. Snakes are swift of thought and reaction. They look at a situation and understand all aspects of it immediately. They have a strong esthetic sense and lofe beauty in all forms. They worry too much, like everything to be secure and tend to hide money. Snakes persevere and make good leaders. They are often goodlooking.
It's a good money-making year for snakes, especially those with their own businesses, and a good year to start a new business or project. Romance is hot for snakes in 2000. But they should watch what they say because they could easily become embroiled in controversy. It's an especially lucky year for those born in 1953 and 1965.
The sixth sign is the Dog
Years:1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006
Personality:You are the perfect friend: Honest, loyal, always willing to lend a hand, and a great fighter for truth and justice. You are a born leader, but have a tendency to be obstinate and a bit self=righteous. Money doesn't interest you particularly, as long as you have enough to get by. The dog is compatible with horses, tigers and rabbits, incompatible with dragons and sheep. Dogs can be self-centred and are sensitive to what others think of them. They're loyal. They're concerned with appearance, tending to look good. They are often attracted to a career on the stage. Once a dog becomes determined to get a job done, it's as good as done because dogs are steady workers
Predictions:It's a year when dogs need to be careful in all areas of life. They tend to be accident-prone or liable to illness, so they should take it easy on the road and get a health check-up. They shouldn't rock the boat in personal relationships. They need to be cautious and conservative in financial investments. It's not a good for a dog to quit a job. Dogs would be wise to have legal docutment double-checked. They can get through 2000 fine if they take care.
The seventh sign is the Dragon
Years:1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000
Personality:You're something of an eccentric. You're full of health and energy, yet tend to worry about nothing. Perfection is second nature to you and you do everything to the best of your ability. You're honet, sensitive and courageous, but that goes hand-in-hand with stubbornness and a quick temper. You're capable of devoting yourself to good-or bad. Rats, snakees, monkeys and roosters are most compatible with dragons. Dogs are incompatible. Dragons tend to be self confident on the surface and a little nervous underneath. A typical dragon is adventurous, likes trying something new, enjoys comparisons with others, and enjoys showing off. A dragon can be persistent and very stubborn, and has a nature others find untouchable
Predictions:Dragons are accident-prone this year, so they should drive especially carefully. Romance will be enjoybable, but they shouldn't take it seriously. It doesn't look like a goo dyear for making money, (they need to avoid fambling), but work life should be stable and especially good for those in marketing, sales and the entertainment business.
The eighth sign is Pig/Boar
Years:1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007
Personality:You're full of courage and honesty, know what's right, and have a great inner strength. You don't talk a lot, but when you do, there's no shutting you up. However, you usually know what you're talking about. You're affectionate and though you may have a short temper, you'd rather avoid an argument. The boar is compatible with rabbits and sheep, but not with snakes. Boars tend to be self=confident and extremely sentimental. they rarely go broke because they are good at controlling money. They tend to be poetic and can succeed in writing careers. When boars get angry, however, they are very destructive
Predictions: There may be family problems, but money matters look good for boars, this year, especially for self-employed boars and those dealing with the stock market. It's a healthier year than the last two, but there's instability in the area of romance. Boars born in 1947 need to balance their lives by paying more attention to family, but they have awesome earning power in 2000. Boars born in 1971 can learn a lot from older people this year and need to take more care of their health than other boars do now.
The ninth sign is the Rabbit/Hare
Years:1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999
Personality:You're blessed with good taste, a silver tongue, talent, ambition, and virtue. And you never act on impulse. Rabbits hate tardiness and have no patience with procrastination. For the rabbit, all aspects of life should be clear-cut, well thought-out, on schedule and up-front. Rabbit people are most compatible with the sheep, dog and pig signs, and least compatible with rats and roosters. This is the most moody of all 12 signs. Rabbits can change their minds almost as quickly as dragons. Rabbits are frank and honest, and will speak their minds without hesitation. They are loving people, but a blow a minor problem out of proportion. Rabbits have excellent judgment on beauty. They make good fashion designers.
Predictions:Rabbits will have a stable year financially, bu things may be difficult at work unless they surround themselves with highly trusted people. Rabbits are prone to illness in 2000. Also, it looks like a year full of romance, especially for rabbits born in 1975.
The tenth sign is the Rat.
Years:1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008
Personality:You're charming, honest, ambitious, and hard-working. On the other hand, you're a terrible gossip and this can cost you friends. You're also a bit of a penny-pincher, though your friends will always find you good for a loan. You jealously guard your privacy and your independence is fierce. You're most compatible with the ox, dragon, and monkey, least compatible with horses. The rat is good with finances and is often materialistic. Rats tend to be perfectionists and are highly demanding and calculation. A rat can be a tough boss. Rats worry about their relationships and are highly romantic. They are especially gifted with the ability in make themselves happy again instead of brooding after difficulties.
Predictions:It's a profitable year for rats, who are sharp and quick-thinking in 2000. Minor accidents threaten, but there's a good shot at a promotion at work. Rats are full of good ideas this year. Single rats in serious relationships are advised to marry or they may face interference from a third party. Rats born in 1948 will see a number of false starts in the romance area. Financially, rats will have their ups and downs, but over-all, it's a year when they can make good money. Rats born in 1960 have an especially flat year romantically, but see improvements in the work world.
The eleventh sign is the Tiger
Years:1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010
Personality:You are brave and rarely afraid to take a physical or intellectual risk. You're sensitive, thoughtful and responsible to the needs of those closest to you. But you also have a short temper and streaks of stubbornness and selfishness. Nor do you easily trust people. You inspire respect, but have a tendency to butt heads with authority figures. The horse, dragon and dog signs are compatible with tigers. Snakes and monkeys are not. Tigers are bright and outgoing, and love to look good, so they can do well in show business or public relations. They have little patience and can be moody, but are charming and good at reading others minds. The tiger is an interesting sign because beneath the charm, tigers are fierce and like to be dominant.
Predictions:Money comes and goes for tigers this year. They need to take a conservative approach to relationships and avoid arguments. The best business success appears to be in out-of-town work. Potential health concerns for tigers in 2000 include ulcers and surgery. tigers born in 1950 will see things start up with difficulty, then become easy, with business and income matters finishing the year well.
The last sign is the Ox
Years:1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009
Personality:You're blessed with patience, sharp wits and the ability to inspire confidence in others. But you're also hot-tempered,(to the point sometimes of violence), stubborn and sometimes, terribly prejudiced. You're good with your hands, but hate yourself for any kind of failure. You are sure of your own mind and will not be swayed. The snake, rooster and rat signs are compatible, but not the sheep. When the ox makes up his mind, it takes an ax to change it. Oxen are stubborn and can nag until they get what they want. This is the most unforgiving of all signs. Oxen tend to be absent-minded. They mind their own business and don't like to mess around in other people's affairs. The ox concentrates on what's importatn and doesn't waste time on what's less important. The ox has a high degree of perseverance and, like a locomotive, rushes in the desired direction until arriving at the destination.
Predictions:The ox has been having difficulties, but this is a lucky year and a time to break free of problems. Oxen sitll face controversies , but others will help. Aside from burnout, it looks like a year of good health. Success is likely to come from far away. Those who work in the entertainment field or in financial investments have an especially easy year of it. Romance looks like an unfortunate area this year, except for the 1961-born ox, who should have a colourful, romantic year.

Take-Aways on Employee Ownership from the Other Side of the Pond
By Mary Ann Beyster
At the end of February, I began an international tour in Scotland and England to show our new documentary film, "We the Owners: Employees Expanding the American Dream." http://www.wetheowners.com/
Each screening was followed by panel discussions with me, an executive from an employee/worker-owned enterprise, a professor, or a nonprofit/state leader in the field. Here are five take-aways from my 15-day tour covering eight cities and 10 film screenings from the Highlands of Scotland to London.
Mary Ann Beyster (second from left) at the University of Edinburgh meets with audience and panel members. Event was organized by the Co-operative Education Trust Scotland.
1. Ownership and empowerment translates
I am at the University of Stirling, the first international screening. It's the opening of the film, the subtitle has come across in big letters, "the American Dream," with an image of the American flag, and Professor Joseph Blasi has discussed the desire for ownership and independence by the founders of the American Revolution (against the British Empire). Have I just offended everyone in the room - 80 people?
After the screening David Erdal (author of Beyond the Corporation, former managing director of employee-owned Baxi Partnership and Tullis Russell); Sarah Deas, director of Co-operative Development Scotland (CDS); and I head to the front of the room to field questions after the screening. The questions begin to flow about the practical aspects of workplaces with freedom, opportunity, independence and representation, fairness, and risk. Aside from certain American terms, no apologies or translations of concepts are necessary. In addition, the basic principles and practices cross borders, even though aspects of our legal framework and history in employee ownership and cooperatives are different.
2. May all forms of employee ownership bloom
After touring four cities, I had met people from a wide range of enterprises: employee owned, worker cooperatives, community owned, community collectives, mutuals, vendor funded and owned, and more. In Scotland, the CDS provides education on a range of ownership/governance forms so that business owners can adopt what is right for their enterprises. CDS, funded by the government agency, Scottish Enterprise, sees these businesses as being an integral part of supporting small business, job quality, and economic growth. Hugh Donnelly of Co-operative Education Trust Scotland, another one of my hosts, also has an education mission and works with students in elementary schools up to universities.
Within Scotland, the physical size of South Carolina, regions likely will have a natural inclination toward certain forms over others driven by several factors such as culture of community, industry, access to capital, and availability of professional services. So too, we should promote a variety of formats of worker ownership across the U.S. and within our own states.
3. "Collaborative" has a nice ring to it
After the screening in St. Andrews, several professors described how they are integrating broad-based ownership forms into their business and sustainability courses as part of a "social enterprise." They have a class called "Collaborative Enterprises" to delve into the range of ownership and participative practices. It reminds me of a recent article by Frank Shipper of Salisbury University in Maryland and several colleagues entitled, "Collaboration That Goes Beyond Cooperation: It's Not Just 'If' But 'How' Sharing Occurs that Makes the Difference."
4. . Ownership is a part of the solution
During my short tour, people were not shy about discussing the pain of the recent financial collapse, the aggravation of seeing the continued excessively high salaries and bonuses of British bankers, and the uncertainty of what is next. Many seemed quite eloquent in describing an economy based on businesses with engaged and empowered owners who are stewards for the values and the value creation of the organization, its employees, the community, and the country. Government officials say this as well.
The point was made more than once that even a conventional corporation depends on people cooperating voluntarily to make it work – without that cooperation it would fail. Only with employee ownership is this commitment properly recognized and reinforced.
5. Not mainstream, but on the map
No one involved in employee ownership seems satisfied with not being mainstream. Why do they have to explain to bankers what an employee-owned company is and how it works? Even with its long history of cooperatives, there is much to do to educate people. At the last screening in London, Erdal and Peter Stocks, the managing partner of Baxi Partnership, engaged this audience on how these models should be the dominant corporate model in the UK. Stocks, a businessman with a 30-year career leading business acquisitions and organic growth of technical businesses, laid out the motivations for using broad-based ownership as part of building sustainable enterprises. Like Erdal and Stocks, there's a growing number of employee-ownership ambassadors.
In reflecting on my trip, I found that the different nation citizens are looking to implement the worker-owned idea, they are open to many formats, they want collaborative company cultures, and they think the idea is a solution to the excesses of the financial system. Taking this idea and its adoption mainstream is a common desire and challenge. We have much to learn from each other, and collaborations seem a natural course for growth.

Barcelona hold a 3-2 advantage but Actual Madrid are keen to make the most of the home factor on Wednesday. Los Blancos are going through their worst start in a season since 1973. Can Jose Mourinho, self-renamed The Only One, cease Actual Madrid boat from sinking deeper.
Last year, Actual Madrid & Barcelona played out a 2-2 draw in the Supercopa de Espana at the Santiago Bernabeu. While a repeat of this result would suit the Catalans, the hosts are obliged to win on Wednesday.
The return of defender Pepe may gain advantage Actual Madrid in defence. At the other finish of the field, Jose Mourinho will be hoping that his forward line clicks at last after watching it stutter against Valencia & Getafe more recently.
Meanwhile, Tito Vilanova is on the brink of landing his first ever trophy as Barcelona coach.

Lori Midson

Guidelines: MXF Application Specification
Audio-Visual Working Group
Draft under development.
The Working Group began drafting an MXF Application Specification for archiving and preservation in 2009. In 2012-15, the effort continued under the auspices of the Advanced Media Workflow Association (AMWA), where the specification has been assigned the identifier AS-07. AMWA has approved the June 2016 version as an official Proposed Specification.
AS-07 offers a detailed specification for a file "wrapper," one key part of a digital file format for audio-visual preservation. The specification includes a list of permitted encoded essences (the underlying content bitstreams), defines a means for the carriage of multiple timecodes; the handling of captions, subtitles, and Timed Text; a minimal core metadata set; program segmentation metadata; and embedded content integrity data.
The overall application specification has been written broadly, to cover a wide range of audio-visual content. AMWA specifications, however, allow for the creation of what are called shims, special profiles with added constraints to fit a narrower application. The AS-07 development team has prepared one shim for release at the time of initial publication: the AS-07 Baseband Shim: Single Items from Baseband Video. This shim is intended to serve the most critical current needs of many archives: the reformatting of older analog and digital videotapes and, for some organizations, the encoding and packaging of "live" video streams sent to an archive via a serial interface. The details for AS-07 Baseband Shim are presented in appendix J of the most recent drafts of the specification.
We are eager to receive comments on the specification.
Current draft posted at the AMWA Web site:
- June 2016: AS-07 (includes Baseband Shim as table in Appendix J) (114 pages)
- Note: The AS-07 Application Specification continues to evolve thanks to peer review and feedback. Until a new version is published, a live list of updates to the current version is available here.
A set of graded sample files based on the June 2016 AS-07 Application Specification is available.
Earlier draft posted at the AMWA Web site:
- September 2015: AS-07 (includes Baseband Shim as table in Appendix J) (111 pages)
- September 2014: AS-07 (includes Baseband Shim as table in Appendix J) (89 pages)

- August 2011: MXF Application Specification for Archiving and Preservation, version 1h
- October 2010: MXF Application Specification for Archiving and Preservation, version 1d
