Last night I attended the Computer Hjstory Museum event featuring the founding team of Sun Microsystems – Andy Bechtolsheim, Bill Joy, Scott Mc Nealy and Vinod Khosla – with Sun's current Chief Scientist, John Gage moderating. Scott Mc Nealy actually referred to John as the "Fifth Beattle". If you have never visited the Museum, I *really* recommend coming down over the week-end to take a tour of the magnificent exhibits that contains a wealth of computer antiques. And if you like it, you can join as member (as I did) to support their effort.
I have tried to capture the gist of the panel's conversation. This was pretty challenging since they changed subjects pretty often, and kept on making jokes about each others. It created a great ambiance – sort of an old school pal reunion, but a difficult context to liveblog. For a long time I have been an admirer of the team that made Sun a driving force in computing and networking – until the company lost its mojo in the late 90's. I started developing on Sun workstations back in 1989 (a sun 3 110 and Sun 386i "Roadrunner" with 4MB of RAM and no disk) when I joined Effix Systemes to create a Unix trading room desktop application – that was before Sun adopted X11 as its GUI environment, and before shared libraries existed in SunOS forcing you to link with the kernel – those were good times.
"Would you invest in Sun ?" was the first question – since 2 of 4 founders are VCs at Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers. Vinod recalled that Sun's original business plan was 3 or 4 pages long. Bill mentioned that the initial round was quickly wrapped up – in a parking lot. The debate was then whether Scott would quit his job (he was then making $40K of annual salary) to join Sun full-time – which he originally refused, and had to be talked into it by Vinod who explained that as a founder, he could not remain employed somewhere else.
Sun (Stanford University Network) came up as a joint idea of Andy, Scott and Vinod who then approached Bill to join them as the Unix guru and write the operating system code, based on Unix BSD (the famed SunOS). One of the key choices made by Sun early on – unlike other competitors – was to adopt open systems and standards that would make development and interoperability easier. At that time, companies did NOT want components and peripherals to interoperate as proprietary elements drove prices, and margins, up.
Contemporaneous (circa 1982) computers were Vax mini-computers, using nascent windowing systems at PARC, and having limited resources (80MB disk and 2MB memory for a Vax 750/780). The initial Sun1 had the same resources, for a 10th of the price. Scott was originally responsible for building boxes according to orders coming through a pool of (6) phone lines. He had developed a simple ERP application (in vi) to enter order and track deliveries.
Sun revenues went through an impressive revenue ramp in its first 6 years: $8.5M, $39M, $110M, $210M, $450M, $1B. Vinod attributed partially that success to the fact that they focused on building a $0B company – meaning that the infrastructure, the processes and the ambition were aimed at getting to $B of revenues.
Moving to the issue of immigration, and the quota forced by the administration on H1Bs, Scott pointed out that US companies had strongly benefited from the work of US immigrants. Andy, or James Gosling, were not born in the US and contributed hugely to the innovation of the global IT industry. He then joked by asking Andy how many billion dollars he paid in taxes, pointing out that he was hardly a burden to the US society.
Discussing long term corporate longevity, Vinod stated that Dec only featured 3 different innovations throughout its history, and this was enough to sustain it for 30 years – until its dies. He likened Dell to the new Dec, not innovating a whole lot on the technology front.
As a technology optimisit, Vinod believes that there is no limit to technology innovation per se, just limitations that human impose to themselves because they do not think "out of the box" enough. This remark was made in the context of a discussion about Moore's law, and the fact that so many years – it was still governing components innovation . Scott continued by claiming that IBM and Sun are the only two cmpanies investing heavily in computer architecture.
Talking about the Microsoft relationship, Scott explains that whilst he enjoyed his run-ins with Gates/Ballmer, it was time for the two companies to start working together for the benefit of the industry, and to comply with regulatory pressures. Andy made a related comment on how difficult it was to give away stuff for free – referring to the process Sun had to go through to open source Solaris. Now Sun is gunning for Red Hat, as the provider of a great, scalable, high performance operating system.
One of the new innovation challenges is power consumption and its optimization – a strength of the new line of Sun servers, as opposed to sheer performance. Limiting energy comsumption, renewable and alternate energies is actually a key concern of Vinod's personal investments.
There was then a long Q&A session that I did not capture, but for one question: which role models did Sun founders look up to. Vinod mentioned Intel founders, Andy referred to Albert Einstein's genius, Bill elected the two Johns: John Gage and John Doerr (now his partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers), and Scott… noone.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
The Newspaper Not Secretly Controlled By ME, I Swear!
Nov 20rd, 2012 • Issue 175 • The edition that's black and white and dead all over
We are all doomed, and it's Wikia's fault
It's been a quiet four months at Uncyclopedia, our hometown, out here on the edge of the prairie, and it's not just because Wikia have murdered everyone and are currently bathing in golden tubs filled with their blood. It seems Uncyclopedia has lost more users than John Travolta has lost gerbils up his own butt[citation needed], but fear not, Uncyclopedians-who-have-been-here-less-than-one-month! Long-time wunderkind and beloved administrator Frosty (sorry, are we laying it on too thickly?) has a plan to save us, and it involves... getting himself run over by a car.
Ha ha! Actually, he posted a forum topic, accompanied by a vote, because that's what Uncyclopedians do in times of crisis, and it always works. Forum:Petitions to make all our users that quit comeback attempts to galvanize Uncyclopedia's remaining users to action by reminding them that we used to have members, Oh! so many members! Most of whom were better than us! Please sign a petition asking them back—sign, you ungrateful todgers, like your lives depend on it—and then email them all on the 14th!
In theory, the people receiving said emails will return to Uncyclopedia with smiles on their faces and bliss in their hearts. In practice, however, the plan has been difficult to implement. And by "difficult", we mean "slightly impossible". A frustrated user has narrowed the plan's failure to three causes:
As it turns out, Wikia has limited the number of emails users can send to each other to ONE PER BLOODY DAY, rendering Frosty's scheme to bury our departed users under an avalanche of spam all for naught. As of Monday, November 19, exactly two departed users have been persuaded to return by the campaign, and nobody likes Kakun or Oliphaunte anyway, because they are useless puddles of suckage. It's just as well; most current Uncyclopedians are slightly too drunk to notice that putting a running chainsaw against one's neck is a bad idea, much less understand what the petition is all about.
At any rate, if you haven't accidentally decapitated yourself with a chainsaw, do have a look at that forum, and if necessary, make yourself one or two (or forty) sockpuppets, just to spam those long-departed users of ours. The Cabal Wills It.*
*(Note: There Is No Cabal)
Frosty is dead.
No, you read that wrong, he is just dead inside. Earlier this month, Frosty nearly had the shit murdered out of him by a car. Luckily, as Frosty is a typical Australian teenager, he was protected from serious harm by his protein-based exoskeleton and his thick layer of poisonous, mucosal warts. The car is expected to recover in time for the rematch; in an interview with our correspondent, the car shouted numerous dark threats while leaping onto a turnbuckle and shredding its T-shirt.
In the interim, Frosty has been resting comfortably with the aid of codeine, alcohol, and oral favors from the Asian transsexuals arrayed at his feet. "I find Uncyclopedia no longer holds the same draw for me as it did before," said Frosty, "especially since I've been getting oral favours from these Asian transsexuals arrayed at my feet."
So weep, all ye who read this, for Frosty has joined the ranks of the undead, despised by God and abhorred by the God-fearing. On the upside: he can now appreciate those movies about sparkly vampires. On the downside: he wants our blood. RUN!
Return of the Prodigal Son
Hearts and minds were filled with joy last month by the tentative return of beloved Uncyclopedian Bizzeebeever, who became scarce in July, leaving behind a terse apology for "having no money for Internetting". Current Uncyclopedia ghost Lyritha was heard to say "Buckets, remind me who that is, again..." before floating away down a corridor, moaning and rattling chains. Or rather, she would have, if ghosts were real, and if we'd asked her.
Bizzeebeever's return is said to augur good tidings for the wiki, even though his current contributions consist of pointless pot-shots at Wikia, and short, pithy remarks left on talk pages, such as "fuck you, I hope you are dead", and "please disregard the previous comment, my penis was caught in a pencil sharpener". He also lurks for hours on IRC, talking and playing UnTrivia by himself. It will surprise no one at all that Bizzeebeever is now the person most accomplished at playing with himself; when we asked Zombiebaron about Bizzeebeever's remarkable dominance of a game that no one else plays, he was heard to remark "Zombiebaron", which our interpreters took to mean "Can someone please ban that guy? I am too lazy to do it myself."
We at the Unsignpost do hope that Bizzeebeever holds on to his current position as Head of Quality Assurance at the dildo factory, for we have missed his hilarious forum posts almost as much as we missed his habit of talking himself up in the Unsignpost ...and his limpid blue eyes ...and his silky-soft golden locks ...and the charmingly-gnarled 40 kg tumor jutting from his neck—you know the one, it resembles the offspring of a blood tangerine and a baboon, and contains both hair and teeth...? (That might be his head; we're not sure.) Anyway, yes, we all love Bizzeebeever, and we hope he stays "returned", at least until the judge decides whether to hold him indefinitely, or just chemically castrate him, for the safety of the public.
Return of the OTHER Prodigal Son
This past week, another intermittent Uncyclopedia member (and full-time Mensch-in-Chief), TKF, returned to swear at SPIKE; delete articles which had even votes on VFD; ban people; feature an article with one "For" vote, one "Against" vote, and one comment on VFH; and be a generally hilarious excuse for an administrator. We all want to be you when we grow up, TKF!

Nov 27, 2012 • Issue 176 • I scream, you scream, we all scream...for painful orgasms
No, Uncyclopedia has not gotten religion; it's still full of degenerates, wang vandals, and that scourge of gay men everywhere: uncensored images of boobies. However, it has seen a recent influx of old and new users, most of whom apparently never got the memo about how Uncyclopedia sucks, or how Uncyclopedia is dying, or how Uncyclopedia will be contagious for another six weeks before the amoxicillin starts working.
Returning recently like a scorching case of gonorrhea were Meganew (!), Socky, NoNamesLeft (to the everlasting delight of Frosty), and Master of Menageries Comicat1, who took a six-month sabbatical to invent preposterous new animals on the Serengeti. New users include Sinner George, MagicBus, Leverage, Fakehater and Kamek98, who have all taken to editing like ducks take to water—of course proving that they are all sockpuppets of someone, for which they will all be perm-banned, just as soon as Frosty can figure out who.
Lastly but not leastly, we celebrate the arrival of the ridiculously competent Murder Frog, who brings expertise on influential musicians of the last century, but, more importantly, has the most awesome name since the Universe itself birthed Captain Machinegun Thunderpants Fuckmaster on a pile of slaughtered tigers. The UnSignpost welcomes them, one and all, and hopes that their tranquilizers don't wear off while they still remember how to leave.
Obituary for a friend
Thanksgiving came and went on Uncyclopedia this past week, and while the rest of the world was busy cracking jokes about how Americans really don't need to throw a holiday as an excuse for eating, a certain Uncyclopedia tradition was busy getting beaten, raped, and left for dead in the compost-bin of memory. Yes, we were referring to the Aristocrat's Turkey Day Ball; how did you know?
For those of you who don't remember, or don't want to remember (we assume that's all of you), the Aristocrat's Turkey Day Ball was the once-mighty celebration of sex-, torture- and scat-based humor so debauched and vile that it would shame a London dockside whore, and not a fresh young one, either—one that had been "fucked around the fleet". Sadly, no one even remembered the damn thing until two days before Thanksgiving, and when Uncyclopedia's favorite whipping boy brought up the subject in a forum, he was met by a silence so vast that we assume he fell into it, because we haven't seen him since. Being Kip, though, he'll probably pop back up through a sewer grate somewhere. Swim hard, Kip.
The ATDB left no survivors; its limp corpse will be thoroughly sexually abused, its intestines torn apart and worn around necks like Christmas garland, and its remains will be fed to a freshly no-legged midget with a massive dildo rammed up his butt. Damn you, Mhaille and Zombiebaron, you lazy useless fucks.
Esoteric bullshit
A certain faithful UnSignpost reader recently noted via electronic signal that the UnSignpost's last edition was both "spam" and "esoteric bullshit". We Here At the UnSignpost™ were, to be frank, shocked and dismayed by this statement, for it was never our intent to be anything but the most outrageously stupid, inane, crass, vulgar, rude, boorish, inbred, brain-dead, emotionally-stunted, anti-literate, fucked-up and all-around retarded puddle of gassy splooge east or west of the Mississippi—or any river, for that matter. In this endeavor, however, it seems we have failed.
Yes, someone has beat us to it, and by a wide margin, for he is the undisputed champion of such sculduddery. So we offer up our most heartfelt apology to that reader, who shall remain nameless (it was Hotadmin4u69), and we humbly admit that we stand in awe of his ability to pick the gayest user name possible, not once, but twice. However, while we wish him the best of luck in disentangling his dental retainer from his own scrotum, we would like to remind him of the famous adage, Never quarrel with a man who buys ink by the barrel.

Intro to Moodle and Socratic Variations
First and fourth periods used a modified Socratic Seminar (see slideshow below) to discuss the relationship between conflict and setting in "The Sniper."
Second and seventh periods got an introduction to the Moodle site we use in class and some more practice with Schaffer model elements by identifying selected sentences in paragraphs.
- English 8 Strategies: complete yesterday's homework assignment (as necessary).
- English I Honors:
- work on the wiki reconstructing the arguments and counter-arguments presented in class;
- answer the following question about today's Socratic Seminar by leaving a comment on this post. (Do NOT put your full name. Use only your first name and last initial.) What did you think of today's discussion activity? What were two things you thought were effective about it? What was one thing you would like to have changed?

The late nineteenth century
was a tumultuous time for the United States. The social, scientific,
and cultural landscape of the country was undergoing radical
changes. Darwin's theories of evolution and natural selection
had called into question established views concerning humankind's
origins (theories in which Kate Chopin had more than a passing
interest); urbanization and restoration of the country following
the Civil War ushered men and women into a new social identity;
and, perhaps most importantly, the women's rights movement had
been gathering momentum since 1848, when the first woman's rights
conference was held in Seneca Fall, New York.
As apparent through the tone of this reviewer, Puritan morality
was, to a large degree, responsible for much of the resistance
against Chopin's novel. It was the plumb line against which the
value of Edna Pontellier, The Awakening, and Chopin
herself were evaluated. Lois K. Holland notes that in response
to the religious and social turbulence of the late nineteenth
century, "Puritan morality became a rigid stronghold...
imposing its repressive influence on artistic endeavors as well
as on practical aspects of life" (7). Indeed, as women began
to unite and organize as part of the women's suffrage movement,
both the liberal and conservative elements dug their heels in
for a battle that would ultimately end in victory for the suffragists
in 1920, but only by one vote.
Intended as a "retraction," Chopin's comments appeared in the July issue of Book News, some three months after critics had ravaged The Awakening. Perceived as a coy display of literary helplessness, Chopin's comments didn't fare well with critics. In fact, they provoked their hostility even further, for only four months after publication, The Awakening had been condemned nation wide by reviewers who agreed that it was "unwholesome" (Holland 42). In fairness, a few critics did print an occasional less-than-scything review of The Awakening. Although these critics didn't wholly condemn the novel, they didn't praise it either. These reviewers simply recorded synopses of the novel's theme and withheld moral judgment. For example, the April 1899, issue of The Book Buyer reported that The Awakening "is said to be analytical and fine-spun, and of peculiar interest to women" (Toth 329). The March 25, 1899, issue of the St. Louis Republic praised the style of the book saying only that The Awakening "is the work of an artist who can suggest more than one side of her subject with a single line" (Toth 329). Charles L. Deyo, in one of The Awakening's few positive reviews, lauded Chopin's style and defended Edna as a victim of ignorance in the May 20, 1899, issue of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
Deyo postures against Chopin's critics and defends Edna's
actions by vilifying Leonce Pontellier, portraying Edna as a
victim--"a poor, helpless offender" (Culley 148)--and
ascribing to Edna's circumstances the responsibility for her
actions. Unfortunately, as with Lucy Monroe's review, Deyo's
review was also tainted by self-interest and bias (Toth 342).

The former 'American Idol' judge shares video of her leaving hospital after being admitted for dislocated shoulder and cracked ribs following a fall on the set of a music video.
Mariah Carey is recovering at home after injuring her shoulder while filming a music video for the remix of "#Beauty" with Young Jeezy. She got discharged from hospital after doctors reset her shoulder. The former "American Idol" judge recently shared a video of her being wheeled out with her arm in sling.
In the black-and-white video, Mariah tells the camera, "Well, that was fun." She is surrounded by members of security team and nurses as she reaches her car. In the midst of nurses' instructions telling her to be careful with her steps, she said that she would be going back to the filming set.
"Thanks all for the well wishes <3 Still in a lot of pain - cracked rib, fractured shoulder, bruises everywhere, but the show must go on," she wrote on Twitter on July 11. The mother of two added, "In a sling, but will do my best to make it look good [with] the ensemble Sat [with] the NY philharmonic, an amazing honor for such a great cause."
The "Through the Rain" singer was rushed to hospital on Sunday, July 7, after dislocating her shoulder on the filming set. During an appearance on "Today" show, Nick Cannon revealed details of his wife's "pretty serious" injuries.
"Not only did she dislocate her shoulder, she actually cracked a rib and ... she chipped her shoulder bone," he said. The "America's Got Talent" host recalled the accident, "She was in this nice, beautiful gown, heels on and everything, and was kind of on this platform and reached and slipped and fell on her whole side."
Mariah is set to perform at a free concert with Major League Baseball to benefit Hurricane Sandy Relief in Central Park's Great Lawn on July 13. She apparently will carry out her schedule with her arm in sling.

Two men shot in Euclid
(Euclid) - Two people have been hospitalized after they were shot and wounded on East 260th Street in Euclid early Monday morning.
Euclid Police say a 29-year-old North Olmsted man was arrested later in the day in connection with the shootings.
About 12:30 a.m., police received reports of a man with a rifle, then shots were heard. Euclid police then found in a car, two people on East 260th near Euclid Ave., who were shot and wounded.
Euclid police say both men were still in the hospital on Tuesday, their conditions critical but stable.
In addition, a car driving by started a four-car collision when the driver got distracted, looking at what was happening.
East 260th was closed until mid-morning as police and the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation looked at evidence at the scene.

Rihanna Mourns Deceased Child Actress
Rihanna has had her good days and bad days over the last couple of years. Yesterday was definitely one of her bad days.
The "Who's That Chick" singer took to her Twitter account on Tuesday to mourn the passing of 11-year-old Broadway actress and personal acquaintance Shannon Tavarez, who lost her battle with acute myeloid leukemia on Monday.
Rihanna wrote,
"Just got off of a plane ride and got horrible news that our little star Shannon Tavarez has lost her battle against leukemia! Way too soon … keep her family in your prayers."
Rihanna had developed a close relationship with Tavarez, who appeared in the Broadway production of The Lion King. After hearing of her illness, the Barbados-born singer befriended the young thesp, publicly lobbying with Alicia Keys to find bone-marrow donors for her.
Tavarez was diagnosed in April, when she began to experience mysterious leg pain.

This striking Art Deco style sculpture of newlyweds reflects timeless romance which lives through the years. Flowing contours of soft champagne gold are accented with contrasting silver highlights.
The artist, Alexsander Danel, was born in Estonia in 1940. He graduated from the Moscow Industrial Arts School and the Moscow Fine Arts Academy. He earned awards for his work in the former Soviet Union and later worked with distinction in Italy and the U.S. He was the principal sculptor for Austin Production Inc. from 1981 until 2001. Danel died in 2001.
The statue measures 20 1/2" in height. The irregular shaped base measures 8 1/4" by 9 1/2". The statue weighs 13 lbs. 3 oz. There is a small nick on the back of the groom's head, a slight rub mark on the side of the bride's veil, and a nick on the pointed corner of the base. See photos.
The sculpture is marked "Danel Austin sculpture 1991". Austin Sculpture used a process which included Durastone, a slurry of crushed rock in the molding process. Steel rods were used to reinforce the sculpture. The finished product received a finish and polish to complete the work giving the sculpture a rich appearance.
This is a lovely piece for couples at any point in their life together. The Art Deco style of this sculpture adds romantic ambiance to any setting.

Type of Document Master's Thesis Author Schillings, Mary Katherine Author's Email Address firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-04162012-152226 Title Spiritual Support as Coping among Alzheimer's Caregivers Degree Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) Department Social Work Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Wilks, Scott E. Committee Chair Cain, Daphne Committee Member Livermore, Michelle Committee Member Keywords
- Alzheimer's caregivers
- caregivers
- spiritual support
- coping
Date of Defense 2012-03-22 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe purpose of this study is to identify the effect of spiritual support on Alzheimer's caregiver's perceived burden. This study will examine the relationship between spiritual support and burden among Alzheimer's caregivers. The collection of data was accomplished by a packet of surveys mailed to Alzheimer's caregivers. For this study the population is separated and difficult to survey as a whole, therefore, a smaller cluster sample is surveyed from a specific organization. The global score of the burden measure is negatively correlated with the global score of the Spiritual Support Scale. In this study, spiritual support is not the sole reason for perceived burden to be low; rather, spiritual support causes a more positive outlook on the burden, triggering the caregivers to report lower levels of perceived burden. A social worker must be confident in the knowledge of supports used by clients and how to accommodate each client in achieving the ability to cope with stress when caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano has been diagnosed with leukemia and has taken a leave of absence indefinitely. At 52 years of age, Pagano said that he had felt fatigued and had blood work done. While the situation is serious, a source told the Indianpolis Star that there is optimism about a full recovery. Pagano is currently in a hospital and is expected to stay there for the next six weeks. Offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, formerly with the Pittsburgh Steelers, has been named the interim head coach.
Fantasy Analysis:
No fantasy analysis here. I think it's safe to speak for the entire FFToolbox community when I say we all wish the best for Pagano and our thoughts are with him, his family and friends. Some things are larger than football, and in this case, immeasurably larger than fantasy football. Here's to hoping the Colts can come together and rally in the face of very unfortunate news.

My love of gardening and playing with flowers began on the farm in Hocking County where I grew up in the relatively carefree '50s. Both my Mother and Grandmother maintained large gardens where flowers grew alongside the vegetables. There was also a stream and forest on the property full of plants to study and rocks to collect. Plus there was also the monthly visit from the county bookmobile to satisfy my love of reading and learning.
I met Jerry, my future husband, at Ohio University, and we married a week after my graduation. I was a school library media specialist and English teacher in Pickerington for several years until our daughter and son were born. I had the good fortune to be able to stay at home with our children during their early years, but went back to the Ohio State University for a Masters Degree in Educational Communications with a renewal of my career as media specialist and English teacher in Westerville schools.
After retirement in 2000, I joined the Creative Arrangers Guild and Oakhaven Garden Club in Gahanna. I have also been active in the Central Ohio Hosta Society and the Metropolitan Columbus Daylily Society, serving both as exhibition judge and show chair. I serve as liaison with the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Garden to develop and maintain the Ohio Hybridizers Historical Daylily Garden and the Ward Hosta Garden. I am looking forward to my term as Columbus District Director and a continuing officer of the Greater Columbus Council of Garden Clubs.

The Truth about Postal Reform
May 1, 2012
By Reed Anfinson
President of the National Newspaper Association
And Publisher of the Swift County (MN) Monitor-News
Now that the U.S. Senate has passed S 1789 to reform the ailing U.S. Postal Service, critics are trying to disable the bill on its way to the House of Representatives. Business Week recently cited unhappy stakeholders, including postal unions, postal management and some Republicans who mistakenly believe the bill burdens taxpayers.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-CA, whose own bill awaits action in the House, blasted "special interests." But Business Week says, "Considering how many people are unhappy with the bill, it isn't clear which special interests Issa is referring to."
S 1789 provides tools which will help ensure the survival of the Postal Service, the circulatory system for a $1.1 trillion mailing industry – making sure cash, greeting cards, packages, newspapers and magazines arrive on time.
Consider some of the alternative fixes.
Issa's bill would immediately end Saturday mail, close half the mail processing centers and thousands of post offices, and put a new board of political appointees in charge to trim workers' benefits and maybe wages. It would direct the Postmaster General to favor profit over service, which experts say will frighten away business mail.
At the other extreme are Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT, who wanted to keep everything open, labor unions who say the USPS will heal as the economy heals and the White House solution: raise rates.
For Sens. Susan Collins, R-ME, Joe Lieberman, I-CT, and co-sponsors Tom Carper, D-DE, and Scott Brown, R-MA, the extremes do little to ensure the USPS' long-term survival.
S 1789 encourages a more flexible, less costly workforce. It would keep mail flowing while cutting costs. It provides for ending Saturday mail delivery in two years, if the USPS takes other significant steps toward financial viability. It would allow plant closures if the USPS maintains local mail delivery speed.
S 1789 provides a different vision. Consider:
• The USPS' plant-closing plan would amass mail at automated urban centers, where costly machines sit idle much of the day. To optimize machine usage, the USPS would haul mail much farther. But the haul would slow the mailstream, particularly in rural areas far from metro plants. It would create second-class citizens who would get and send mail more slowly than urban dwellers and hamper smaller communities' quests for economic development.
• Many say they wouldn't miss Saturday mail. But the USPS builds its system around senders, not receivers. Who would be hurt by a five-day delivery scheme? Anyone who depends on timely mail delivery. Shutting down the system two days a week – three on Monday holidays – would slow deliveries for those who need prescriptions delivered; citizens who get newspapers by mail; and businesses needing six-day cash flows.
• Closing small post offices seems a no-brainer. Surely not all are needed. But rather than closing them entirely, USPS could have circuit-rider postmasters to open offices a few hours a day, maintaining communities' links to the world.
• The Congressional Budget Office says 1789 would cost $33.6 billion. But postage-payers, not taxpayers, carry this burden. Taxpayers face liability as the funder-of-last-resort only if postal revenues dry up – which is more likely to happen if mail slows to a crawl.
Finally, members of Congress may differ on how they see USPS. Is it a corporation or a government agency responsible for binding the nation together?
Fact: it is a Government-Sponsored Enterprise, and more like Fannie Mae than IBM or the Defense Department. It has to use business tools, but carry out a public mission.
The USPS has enormous power in the marketplace. Members of Congress who mistakenly see postal reform as an exercise in deregulation may actually unleash a powerful federal agency which would compete directly with private business, while those who look to raise postage so generous worker benefits can continue could derail the engine that keeps jobs alive.
What's needed is a clear-eyed vision and a full understanding of the needs of all who the Postal Service serves. Postal management today has an impossible task, expected to accomplish business goals without the cost-controls businesses have, expected to achieve government ends without federal support.
Congress owns this confusion. Only Congress can fix it. "Deregulation," rate hikes nor abrupt and disruptive approaches to labor costs will get the USPS to stability.
S 1789, on the other hand, provides crucial steps toward resolving issues the USPS faces.

This module works great and the setup with my lap top was easy. I was up and running in about 10 minutes. The only down side is that it included only one scope probe. with a two channel module, I hope that was a mistake.

Every so often in financial markets someone comes along and blows the whistle on a company that for all intents and purposes is sound, profitable and has a bright future. When the whistleblower exposes cracks in the facade, the results can be devastating.
It is the corporate version of The Emperor's New Clothes, a children's story by Hans Christian Andersen about a king who is conned by two tailors selling invisible clothes. The King is exposed in more ways than one when a young child watching him parade down the street with nothing on says: "But, he isn't wearing anything at all."
This is relevant today because analysts have started to lift the veil on some fairy stories coming out of China about companies and banks listed in Hong Kong. One of those entities, Sino-Forest, has been mortally wounded by an analyst in Canada and another, Agricultural Bank of China, which is partly owned by media mogul
Agricultural Bank is not in the same league as some of the recent high-profile victims of whistle-blowers, but it is worth closer attention because its performance gives many insights into the financial system of our largest trading partner.
Before digging into the recent events in Hong Kong, it is worth taking trip down memory lane to see how the transmission of shock waves from an influential whistleblower have changed over the past 20 years.
In the old days, the mechanism for exposing the quicksand beneath the foundations was a printed report distributed by mail or sent out by fax machine. This was usually picked up by the media, and then word spread gradually. In some ways it was like watching a car crash in slow motion.
The two best Australian examples naturally involve larger-than-life entrepreneurs who were able to use the force of their personalities to convince bankers to fund their growth, as well as lavish lifestyles.
The two men in question were
Rowland for the first time lifted the lid on Bond Corp's $7 billion debt and the fact that the empire was a house of cards. It took some time, but within three years of Rowland lifting the lid, Bond Corp was defunct and its founder was bankrupt.
Spalvins was going swimmingly until January 1990 when an analyst at Baring Securities, Victor Shevts, produced the first detailed consolidated balance sheet for the Adsteam group of companies.
Apparently this document was a revelation to banks who had lent money on the back of the Spalvins personality. It turns out the same security had been offered to different lenders. Shevts published a second report about six months after the first. It valued the company at half its then share price. Then, in September 1990,
The contemporary example is Sino-Forest, a tree plantation company based in China with shares listed in Hong Kong and Canada. Carson Block, the owner of a Canadian hedge fund called Muddy Waters, exposed the company's accounting practices and raised doubts about its inventory of assets.
The company's shares fell 85 per cent within hours. This was devastating for its shareholders including one of the world's most successful hedge fund managers, John Paulson.
His fund, Paulson & Co, lost about $C700 million ($678.5 million). Owners of the $US1.89 billion ($1.79 billion) in bonds issued by Sino-Forest were also badly burned. The company has denied claims that its accounts are fraudulent and has called in accounting firm PwC to review them.
Block at Muddy Waters had a vested interest in exposing Sino-Forest as he had taken short positions in the company. His profits grew the more the stock fell in value. Block was not the only whistle-blower on Sino-Forest. Australian-based fund manager John Hempton from Bronte Capital weighed in on the case.
Hempton is gaining a reputation for spotting emperors without clothes. He has identified half a dozen fraudulent Chinese companies listed in North America.
In September 2009, he blew the whistle on Trio Capital's Astarra Strategic Fund in a letter to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. The fund was frozen within a month but investors in self-managed super funds ultimately lost $120 million.
Kerry Stokes does not need to fear a repeat of the disasters that happened at Bond Corp, Adsteam, Sino-Forest and Trio Capital but his investment in Agricultural Bank of China could lose its lustre.
Stokes paid about $300 million for a 2 per cent shareholding in the bank in July last year. His investment was part of a broader strategic partnership with the bank in China.
His Westrac Caterpillar business in China should benefit from the relationship with Agricultural Bank. Nevertheless, Stokes would probably be concerned at the latest report during the week from Sanjay Jain, head of the Asian banks research team at Credit Suisse.
Jain's latest earnings estimates for Agricultural Bank are now 22 per cent below the market consensus for 2012 and 35 per cent below the consensus for 2013.
He is predicting a sharp increase in non-performing loans right across the Chinese banking system. He says bad loans in China are going to rise over the next two years to the highest level in a decade.
The forecast rise in bad loans is not surprising. Jain says rampant lending has meant that the ratio of credit to gross domestic product in China jumped from 120 per cent in December 2008 to 166 per cent in March this year.
Agricultural Bank is no stranger to problem loans. Three years ago its bad loans were a staggering 24 per cent of its balance sheet. It handed the bad stuff to the government before listing in Hong Kong.

Kelly Brook and Billy Zane Rekindle Romance After Broken Engagement
The broken love relationship is on again. Speculation is mounting that Kelly Brook and Billy Zane have rekindled their romance after the former lovers are snapped sharing an intimate lunch date in West London, just weeks after she called off their engagement.
Zane, according to reports, flew in from South Africa to meet with Brook in London. He was seen buying chocolates and roses before they were then caught on camera having dinner at Thai restaurant on Wednesday, May 14. The pair later on spent the night together at an exclusive hotel.
Brook was seen not wearing her engagement ring, but she looked happy as she spent her time with Zane. The pair even showed affection to each other during the outing. "Billy looked like the cat who got the cream. But she was teasing him - it looked like she was keeping him on his toes," a source revealed.
Brook and Zane met during the filming of the 2006 flick "Three" also known as "Survival Island". They initially planned to walk down the aisle in summer 2005, yet decided to postpone it just because of media fuss.
Late last month reports surfaced that Brook called off her engagement to the "Titanic" actor after re-evaluating her life following her father's death November last year after battling cancer. "After much soul-searching, Kelly decided that Billy is not the man she wants to marry and has called off the engagement," the Sun quoted a source as saying. "The split is completely amicable and the decision was made after long conversations here and in the U.S. They remain good friends."
Brook apparently agreed to give their relationship another chance as a source told the Sun that she has again branded Billy "the one".

Revelation 14
Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father's name written on their foreheads.
( These are all JEWS who followed Jesus Christ)
( These saints had most likely seen Jesus, and the resurrection and Pentecost and I think had been persecuted by SAUL of Tarsish!
And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps. 3 They sang as it were a new song before the throne,
(here on earth these 144,000 sang songs of hope of the Messiah coming to redeem them, they are now in heaven where Jesus is THE KINGS OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, and are singing this new song most likely at this very moment!)
before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who..
"key word is "WERE REDEMED"
were redeemed from the earth. These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins.
(These 144,000 saints had completely separated themselves from the world, they had had their sins forgiven and were very thankful to God, but unlike Lots wife they did not look back!)
These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. ( Praise God, these saints actually walked with Jesus Christ! )These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits ( These were the first Christians to be martyrs) to God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God. ( These saints could not deny Jesus Christ was raised from the dead, henceforth they loved not their lives even unto death!)
Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, ( Paul knows of a man who went to the third heaven! ) having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— ( These Are gentiles; This is speaking of PAUL THE APOSTLE! ) saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water." ( Praise God for the Apostle PAUL!)
And another angel followed, saying, "Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication." (JAMES or PETER… Please read all of James and Peter!)
Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, (THANK YOU JOHN THE REVELATOR!) "If anyone worships the beast and his image (Love not the world 1 John 2 )( You would be wise to read all of 1 John ), and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, ( The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life!) he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."
Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. ( The above Christians were indeed patient even unto death, and they kept the commandments which means they were Jews that believed Jesus Christ is The Messiah!)
Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me,"Write: 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.'" ( Blessed are those who do not love their life even unto death!)
"Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them." ( We trust God to fulfill His promise of eternal life in His presence)Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, ( This is Jesus Christ ) having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, "Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe." So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped. (This is the Christians who are in the grave , and us Christians who will be alive and remain to see that day with them, in a moment ….in the blink of an eye!)
Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, (The Holy Spirit has power over fire) and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe." (4718. staphule staf-oo-lay' probably from the base of 4735; a cluster of grapes (as if intertwined):--grapes.
(The clusters of the vine of the earth are those who refuse to let go of this world and it's good's, and it's god!….. REMEMBER THE DOOR HAS ALREADY BEEN CLOSED FOR THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE SUCH A HORRIBLE CHOICE!)
So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, up to the horses' bridles, for one thousand six hundred furlongs.

The young Bollywood actress has achieved her third success in a row, with the film 'Band Baaja Baaraat' which apparently was quite the box office hit. Before this film she had already known a great success with her films called 'Badmaash' and 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi', which was one of the biggest hits of the moment. Even though she has obtained this row of super hits, she is far from getting her due.
However the actress does not feel at all dishearten as she believe that over time her acting skills will be rewarded and acknowledged by the entire Bollywood film industry. When asked about this subject Anushka Sharma, she replied that her work will speak for herself, and that she is more than t confident that over time she will manage to reach out to everyone throughout her work.
Her next appearance will be in the much expected picture called 'Patiala House' where she will be starring alongside opposite Akshay Kumar. The release of the film will be on 11th of Feb.

Symphony Space to Present VIRGIL THOMSON & FRIENDS AT THE CHELSEA HOTEL, 5/8
As a highlight of its 2014 Spring Festival, "Sleeping Around: the Cultural Lives of New York's Hotels," Symphony Space presents Virgil Thomson and Friends at the Chelsea Hotel on Thursday, May 8, at 7:30 pm, in the Leonard Nimoy Thalia.
The program, curated by Artistic Director Laura Kaminsky and noted composer/pianist Jed Distler, includes music by Thomson, Aaron Copland, Lou Harrison, and Paul Bowles, plus Gerald Busby and Scott Wheeler, who will lead a panel discussion on Thomson's music. Along with Distler, soprano Kamala Sankaram and violinist Julie Rosenfeld will perform a selection of chamber and vocal works, listed below. Between pieces, video and audio interviews with Thomson will be presented, bringing this legendary figure to life. Tickets are $32, $27 for members, and $20 for those 30 and under, available at www.symphonyspace.org.
Thomson (1896 - 1989), a critic for the New York Herald Tribune as well as a highly influential composer, lived at the Chelsea Hotel from the 1940s until his death. Noted John Rockwell in his New York Times obituary of the composer, "Beyond his work, Mr. Thomson was a magnetic force within the social world of American intellectuals, with his sharp tongue, twinkling eyes and owlish face and figure. His dinner parties at the Chelsea Hotel were the stuff of legend. He seemed, up to the very end, to know everyone in the worlds of music, art, dance and letters."
Biographer Paul Wittke observed, "Entering his apartment on the ninth floor, you walked into a past era which was very European, and left contemporary obstreperous New York far below... To these rooms like pilgrims to a hermitage came the elite of the day - Stravinsky, Boulez, Beecham, Oscar Levant, Bernstein, Tennessee Williams, Philip Johnson, Peggy Guggenheim, Edward Albee, and others. They came for...debonair conversations and fabulous food. Thomson was an amazing cook and could whip up a gourmet meal with a few cans from the supermarket. Always impeccably dressed, he reigned like a beloved maharaja, although his activities were more restricted than in former years. Like Truman Capote, whom he resembled in size (5'2"), he was to the manner born, his chic parties a social event."
Along with his groundbreaking operas on texts by Getrude Stein, Four Saints in Three Acts and The Mother of Us All, Thomson may be best known for his series of brief musical portraits, for solo piano, of people in his circle. "Virgil Thomson and Friends at the Chelsea Hotel" pairs a number of these musical sketches with their subjects' own music. The program includes:

Paul Robichaud, coach of Bathurst Phantoms girls basketball team, was surrounded by his players during a game at West Kings High School on Jan. 12. The team made the trek to the Valley to take part in a basketball tournament on the anniversary of the bus crash that killed seven members of Bathurst High School's boys' basketball team and the wife of their coach.
By Nancy Kelly
Memories of a horrific bus accident that claimed the life of seven members of the Bathurst High School boys' basketball team in 2008 are never far off for Paul Robichaud, coach of the Bathurst Phantom's girls' basketball team.
Robichaud brought his girls' squad to the Valley Jan. 11-12, the anniversary of the crash, for West Kings District High School's girls basketball tournament. West Kings' coach Bill Griffin, who was living in New Brunswick and coaching high school basketball at the time of the crash, was pleased to welcome the Bathurst Phantoms for the first time.
"That school was affected by such a terrible tragedy and it touched so many people," said Griffin, who reached out to Robichaud several years ago to invite the Phantoms to West Kings.
"I am glad we could make this happen," he added.
The tournament also hosted teams from Middleton Regional High School, Central Kings, and Lower Sackville's Millwood High School.
Robichaud was teaching and coaching at Bathurst High School at the time of the crash that killed eight people — seven basketball players and the coach's wife — and injured four others travelling in a passenger van carrying the Bathurst High School Phantoms boys' basketball team. The van collided with a transport truck on slippery roads not far from Bathurst en route home from attending a basketball tournament in Moncton.
"This the first year since that we have played on the anniversary of the accident," said Robichaud, explaining in the first few years after, he had girls on the team related to the players who died in the accident.
"Until this year, we haven't played on that weekend out of respect for their loss."
But with a new generation of players on the bench, Robichaud felt the time had come to take to the court again on Jan. 12.
"We talked it over with the kids and their parents and the support to travel to Nova Scotia this weekend was there."
Since the bus crash, Robichaud says communication between schools, especially about weather conditions, has improved dramatically.
"Back then, the decision to stay or go was left up to the coaches. Now the school principals are in contact and make the decisions about travel," which Robichaud says is "a fact of life" for school and league sports teams in rural New Brunswick. The Phantoms broke up their seven-hour travel time to the Valley by staying in Truro overnight on the way down and resting in Moncton overnight on the way home. They overnighted in Kingston while in the Valley.
"We now limit our time on the road to between three and four hours," said Robichaud.
The crash also impacted travel protocols for local school sports teams. George Humphreys, who has been coaching with the West Kings boys basketball program for 20 years, agreed travel rules and awareness of weather and road conditions have tightened up considerably and there are no risks taken when it comes to student travel.
"After what happened in Bathurst, you know it's just not worth it."
Despite the heartbreaking toll the accident took on staff and students at Bathurst High School and the community as a whole, Robichaud said the event has not "changed the culture of who we are." He remains an advocate for school sports, seeing them as an important component in the student learning experience.
"To be part of a team is so important for kids. They learn so much."

Cointegration analysis for Japanese import demand: revisited
Using Xu's (2002) import demand equation, the present study re-investigates the presence of a cointegrating relation of Japan's aggregate import demand. The sample period covers quarterly data from 1973 to 2000. The results of various cointegration techniques confirm that the volume of import, domestic real activity variable, and relative prices term are not cointegrated.
