In the wake of the #MikeBrown tragedy, the "3005" rapper ponders the benefits of being white in America…..
"Twitter activism is wack," he wrote. "Marches don't work anymore police should be forced to wear recording devices." He tweeted the poem in another round of posts writing, "i wanna be a white rapper. i wanna be so white i'm the biggest rapper of all time. i wanna be so white i can have a number one song with cursing and parents are fine with it." Gambino continued with a list of "i wanna be so big and white" scenarios including, "what if everyone starts to get big and white? what if this works for everyone and everyone can experience this whiteness and this bigness? i hope i become too big and too white." He later explained that he's not against Twitter or activists, but that the two don't mix, and explained the "white rapper" rant. "If someone calls me a 'white rapper,' i want to make sure they undersatnd i don't have all the benefits," he wrote. (BET.com)

LOL this would make a great script for a comedy movie but suck as a real life experience. I have some relatives like that. I took my mom to lunch yesterday and as always she constantly complains and is rude to the staff. It used to embarrass me but now I figure she eats a lot of spit.I will be glad when I get my home back. This child's graduation cannot come any faster. I'm so tired of all this extra family, hanging around eating and drinking up any and everything that isn't nailed down. I caught one of the kids order pay per view, I wanted to slap the taste out of his momma's mouth, lawrd.
Its hot, its crowded, its loud and I've been to the market 10 times in the last 7 days and I was not home for 2 of the 7 days.
I'm going to a hotel screw this.
ETA: OMG, my cousin cussed out the security guard at the front gate. Why?? Because she doesn't know my maiden name (which happens to be her last name, our father's are brothers) and doubles as the keyword to be let in. Are you freaking kidding me at 9am?
And, now were out of salt!! I've never run out of salt, does that even happen?? Guess so, Tequilla and lime shots for the adults and EVERYONE puts salt and lime on fruit salad even the kids.
...tell PETA my mink is dragging on the floor...
Yes, it's real. No, you can't touch it.

Cucm Migration P2V Best Way?
In Cucm cluster we have two cisco callmanager nodes. 1 Publisher and 1 subscriber. Cisco UCM version is 8.0.3. And all phones now registered to subscriber.
Publisher is on MCS-7825H3 (phisical)
Subsceriber is on ESX (virtual).
My is migrate pubsiher from Phisical to Virtual medium. What is the best way you thing about migratin publisher from P to V ?
Because I dont want to affect users from migration.
hi Mehmet,
1) On physical MCS servers 8.0.3, take a DRS Backup of the Publisher
2) On the VMWare where Pub is to be on, do a fresh
install of 8.0.3 on it using the same Hostname/IP Address of the existing Pub.
3) Once you have completed the fresh install of the new Pub on VMWare,
restore the Backup that you took from the old Pub.
4) Build the new Subscribers on VMWare using the same Hostname/IP Addresses
of the existing Subscribers.
Here is some documentation on it:
Hope this helps!

Roots of rotten mortgages
The roots of today's mortgage-based financial crisis can be traced back to the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), which Jimmy Carter signed in 1977. Seeking to address complaints from anti-poverty activists and housing advocates about banks allegedly discriminating against minority borrowers and "redlining" inner-city neighborhoods, the CRA decreed that banks had "an affirmative obligation" to meet the credit needs of victims of discrimination in borrowing.
To add a government stick to the process, the CRA decreed that federal banking regulators would consider how well banks were doing in meeting the goal of more multiculturalism in loaning when considering requests by banks to open new branches or to merge.
A good "CRA rating" was earned by way of increasing loans in poor neighborhoods. Conversely, lenders with low ratings could be fined.
The Fed, for instance, warned banks that failure to comply with government guidelines regarding the delivery of "equal credit" could subject them to "civil liability for actual or punitive damages in individual or class actions, with liability for punitive damages being as much as $10,000 in individual actions and the lesser of $500,000 or 1 percent of the creditor's net worth in class actions."
However well-intentioned in terms of delivering "economic justice," this push for more government-directed social engineering produced a widespread weakening of long-established industry standards for credit worthiness.
Led by Congressional Democrats, this policy of replacing private and decentralized decision-making with a system of centrally-delivered rewards and punishments was basically a one-party effort. Republicans, it seems, were more aware of the unintended consequences that flow from government interference in the market.
As Investor's Business Daily recently put it, succinctly and correctly: "Over the past 30 years, Democrats, along with a handful of Republicans, have demonized lenders as racist and passed regulation after regulation pressuring them to make more loans to unqualified borrowers in the name of diversity."
The march toward the eventual financial meltdown picked up speed during the Clinton administration via an increased lowering of loan standards in order to expand minority borrowing.
The result was widely praised. "It's one of the hidden success stories of the Clinton era," wrote Ronald Brownstein in May 1999 in the Los Angeles Times. "In the great housing boom of the 1990s, black and Latino homeownership has surged to the highest level ever recorded. The number of African-Americans owning their own homes is now increasing nearly three times as fast as the number of whites; the number of Latino homeowners is growing nearly five times as fast as that of whites."
In 2000, Howard Husock reported in City Journal that the "Clinton Treasury Department's 1995 regulations made getting a satisfactory CRA rating much harder. There would be no more A's for effort. Only results -- specific loans, specific levels of service -- would count."
The "specific levels of service" referred to how well banks were responding to complaints, including complaints from advocacy groups that were in the business of complaining.
"By intervening -- even just threatening to intervene -- in the CRA review process, left-wing nonprofit groups have been able to gain control over eye-popping pools of bank capital, which they in turn parcel out to individual low-income mortgage seekers," reported Husock. "A radical group called ACORN Housing has a $760 million commitment from The Bank of New York."
In addition to setting the stage for giving money for mortgage payouts to ACORN and other lending amateurs, CRA authorized those organizations to collect fees from the banks for their "marketing" of loans.
"The Senate Banking Committee has estimated that, as a result of CRA, $9.5 billion so far has gone to pay for services and salaries of the nonprofit groups involved," reported Husock.
There's big money, in short, in "nonprofit" activism -- and upward mobility. A guy carries a sign advocating "Change" in front of a bank and the government turns him into a salaried protester, credit analyst and dispenser of mortgage money.
"The changes came as radical 'housing rights' groups led by ACORN lobbied for such loans," reports Investor's Business Daily, regarding the Clinton era. "ACORN at the time was represented by a young public-interest lawyer in Chicago by the name of Barack Obama."

A window into health in California.

After topping Forbes magazine's annual list of "Most Miserable Cities," Stockton, California is pushing back. Reporter: Sasha Khokha
Double-digit unemployment, drastic property value declines, a crime rate among the 10 worst in the nation. These are the kinds of statistics that propelled Stockton to the number one spot on Forbes' list in February. But Stocktonians like Gregory Basso say that kind of number crunching doesn't take into account something intangible: quality of life.
So Basso took to YouTube.
"And let me tell you about quality of life in Stockton, California. I mean I have to get up debating whether to wear my sunglasses in February," Basso says in the video.
To date, Basso's response to Forbes has drawn more than 47,000 views.
Basso's video continues with him sitting in his home on a Stockton golf course, watching news images of snowstorms back East.
"And I thought gee, and I looked out, and I saw these people playing golf, and I thought, gee, why are we miserable?"
Basso, a retiree who used to run a garbage company, is a featured speaker at this weekend's Stockton is Magnificent rally. The event is a message to Forbes from the city that dubs itself the Asparagus Capital of the world. The poster for the event features two dinner plates: one with a piece of charred asparagus, labeled: "What Forbes thinks of us." The other with a nice fresh spear labeled "What we think of ourselves."
University of the Pacific Professor Alan Ray is one of the event's organizers. "There is a sense of hope in this community that regardless of all our problems, we really kind of like the people, and we have learned to appreciate our differences," said Alan Ray, a professor at University of the Pacific Professor and one of the event's organizers.
A photographer perched on a crane plans to take a picture of thousands of Stocktonians at the event wearing "Stockton is Magnificent" T -shirts. Rally organizers will send a copy to the magazine.
Forbes Senior Editor Kurt Badenhausen, who wrote the "miserable cities" article, says he's already received plenty of messages from outraged Stocktonians.
"I'm looking at a sign right now hanging in my office that says we love Stockton, with a big X through Forbes. It's quite catchy," said Badenhausen.
He says he's glad the article is helping to inject some civic pride, but that won't make Forbes re-consider its rankings.
"Having a rally is one thing, but there also needs to be plans in place to create jobs, stem forcelosures, and reduce crime," Badenhausen said. "Those are the things that are going to get Stockton off the list."
Some Stocktonians agree, saying tomorrow's rally, organized by a downtown business association, glosses over the city's real struggles. They've created a Facebook page called "Stockton is Bloody" to draw attention to the gang and crime problem.

Developer- and Publisher-specific Articles: DICE
The mission is a go: Battlefield 4 deploys for consoles, PC
Dice is once again welcoming players to the front with the release of Battlefield 4. Available today for 360, PC, and PS3, the latest entry continues the series' tradition of open warfare with combat over land, sea, and air. Battlefield 4 includes a single-player campaign, focusing on an impending war between China, Russia, and the U.S., as well as an extensive multiplayer component that features destructible environments and a wide array of weapon, kit, and vehicle unlockables. For those thinking of making the jump to PS4 or Xbox One, gamers who buy the current-gen versions can upgrade to the next-gen versions for $10 when the systems launch next month.
First round of Battlefield 4 multiplayer beta now live for consoles, PC
The Battlefield 4 multiplayer beta has officially launched for 360, PC, and PS3 gamers who pre-ordered the Battlefield 3 PC Digital Deluxe Edition, are registered owners of either Medal of Honor Warfighter Limited Edition or Digital Deluxe Edition, or who are Battlefield 3 Premium members. The beta features the Siege of Shanghai map and support for two game modes, Conquest and Domination. This will also be the first time that gamers get to experience Levolution, a new feature that involves levels reacting dynamically to the ongoing action to ensure that each session is different, and earn Battlepacks, random combinations of camos, dog tags, and items.
Battlefield 4 multiplayer beta details announced, to go live October 1
EA has announced the multiplayer beta dates for the console and PC versions of Battlefield 4. The beta will feature the Siege of Shanghai map in Conquest Mode and Domination Mode, and will be open first to Battlefield 3 Digital Deluxe Edition pre-orders, Battlefield 3 Premium members, and registered owners of Medal of Honor Warfighter Limited Edition or Digital Deluxe Edition. Early access will begin on October 1, while all 360, PC, and PS3 owners will be able to join on October 4.
Battlefield 4 progress to be transferable from current to next gen
Dice has announced on the Battlefield 4 blog that current-gen players will be able to carry over their progress whenever they transition to PS4 and Xbox One. Stats, unlocks, and ranks will all transfer over, as well as Premium memberships. The next-gen versions will be released after the 360 and PS3 versions, but will support 64-player battles and 60 frames per second.
Dice starts the fireworks early with two new shots from Battlefield 4
EA has decided to kick off the fourth early with two new shots from Battlefield 4. Both of the explosive images are from levels that were debuted at E3: the first, above, from the single-player mission Angry Sea, and the second from the multiplayer level Siege of Shanghai.
E3 2013: Battlefield 4 info, gameplay media, DLC details released
EA and Dice have released some single- and multiplayer gameplay footage and screenshots from Battlefield 4, including the trailer revealed during Microsoft's conference showcasing the single-player mission Angry Sea. During the level, players must escape from a sinking aircraft carrier by hijacking a nearby boat. Dice also revealed that Xbox One will receive exclusive DLC, Second Assault, a post-launch pack that will include four Battlefield 3 maps re-imagined using the new Frostbite 3 engine. The multiplayer video shows some best-of moments from a 64-player match on the Siege of Shanghai map that was show at EA's preview press conference.
Battlefield 4 to deploy for PS4, Xbox One, plus pre-order and E3 info
EA has announced that Dice will have PS4 and Xbox One versions of Battlefield 4 ready in time for release this holiday season. Two new pre-order programs have also launched, one for the physical release and the other for digital. The first extra is the digital expansion China Rising for boxed versions, which will include new vehicles, new gear, and four multiplayer maps set in mainland China. PC gamers that pre-order the Digital Deluxe version through Origin will also receive China Rising, as well as bonus items and access to the multiplayer beta.
Battlefield 4 revealed, trailer and screens released
EA has officially announced Battlefield 4. The Dice-developed, Frostbite 3-powered entry is slated to launch this fall and was introduced with a 17-minute video of in-game footage.

Battlefield 3: End Game details, screens released
Some new screens have been released for the Battlefield 3 digital add-on End Game. Set to launch this March, End Game will include not only four new season-inspired maps but also a new dirt bike, two new anti-aircraft vehicles, a new dropship, the return of Capture the Flag and Air Superiority, five new assignments, and 16 new dog tags.

Hi all -
Been extremely happy with m0n0wall and it has been reliable since I
installed it about a year ago.
However, today had a weird "crash" (if that's what it was.) Not sure
if my cable modem crapped out first, or if m0n0wall did. But then on
the screen of m0n0wall, saw these messages:
dc1: watchdog timeout
(I see the above line occasionally and it doesn't seem to corollate
with probs, never saw the next lines until today though...)
ipfw2 initialized divert disabled, rule-based forwarding enabled,
default to accept, logging disabled
DUMMYNET initialized (011031)
IP firewall unloaded
Could this be a sign of a hardware problem? Or could it just happen if
my cable modem dropped offline? Comcast has been unreliable in my area

Hey Tom. Love the Blog, particularly the pictures although I think you use more than I probably would. Any concerns about copyright on the pictures?

Hey, Brent. Glad to see you're a visitor to these shores.
I'll admit, this has become a photo blog almost by default. I'm not entirely sure anyone visiting wants to read a lot of text rendered by 'moi'(a brief swelling of text last month, and the response thereto, pretty much put the K.O. on whatever hopes I might have had to make this a mixture of words and images). No one's really interested in my prose, to put it bluntly.
As for the photos, I've adopted the following policy: If anyone objects to my using a particular image, and can prove they have legal standing to make such an objection, then I'll gladly remove it. So far I've received no complaints.
Thanks for visiting, Brent, and feel free to comment at will.

Love the photos. Mickey Spillane and Lefty Frizzell? Great stuff.
- February 07, 2005 10:35 AM
and if photographers had a license to kill there'd be a whole lot of dead blogger thieves. I love the part about how you'll remove an image if the person complaining can prove to you they own the image, as if you had some right to them to exercise. You don't own any of the images do you? This is an exercise in thievery then, isn't it? You're not a photographer, you're not a professional writer either, so perhaps this point has no impact on you. But it is an unfair practice to all legitimately creative people who make a living from their work. Writers and photographers like to give permission, get credited, and perhaps even get paid for their copyrighted materials used in someone else's "creative" endeavor. If there were an editorial or critical context it might be slightly more acceptable but you are doing no more than a scrapbook, a tribute to your "sensibility" like people used to do cutting out pictures from movie mags and pasting them down but that was done in private.

"and if photographers had a license to kill there'd be a whole lot of dead blogger thieves. I love the part about how you'll remove an image if the person complaining can prove to you they own the image, as if you had some right to them to exercise."
Is that you, Fred (probably not, since you're posting from Amsterdam)? No matter. I'll plead 'nolo contendre' to the above, but I think my policy of removing an image only at the behest of its owner is eminently fair. What, you think I should leave it up if somebody complains? Besides, last I checked I wasn't receiving even imaginary compensation for this endevor, so my use of these images could easily fall under the "fair use" doctrine.
As a matter of principle, I'm not sure it wouldn't be a form of leeching even if I *had* permission; like, say, if I wanted to build a career around sucking on the marrow of a dead filmmaker's bones. I mean, just 'cause I got the widow's permission, that wouldn't make it an honorable enterprise, would it?
"You don't own any of the images do you? This is an exercise in thievery then, isn't it?"
In principle it is, yes. As I said, I'll not contest the charge. But it's unsurpassingly benign thievery, remember that.
You're not a photographer, you're not a professional writer either, so perhaps this point has no impact on you.
How do you know I'm not a professional writer?
But it is an unfair practice to all legitimately creative people who make a living from their work. Writers and photographers like to give permission, get credited, and perhaps even get paid for their copyrighted materials used in someone else's "creative" endeavor.
Creativity is in the eye of . . . you know the rest. Personally, I think there's a small measure of creativity to what I'm doing here, but it's useless to argue the point strenuously. As to the matter of credit, in nearly every instance I swiped these images off the internet from sites which had gone through the same process in obtaining them. In other words, I don't have so much as a clue as to who owns these images most of the time, so I couldn't weigh down the presentation with credits even if I wanted to.
That might be a rationalization, but you'll have to admit it's a clever one.
"If there were an editorial or critical context it might be slightly more acceptable but you are doing no more than a scrapbook, a tribute to your "sensibility" like people used to do cutting out pictures from movie mags and pasting them down but that was done in private."
Here, I'll take issue with you. There *is* both a critical and editorial context to these entries. You're assuming, by employing the word "scrapbook", that I have some measure of admiration for every subject herein. That is not the case, I can assure you. On many occasions I do, but on just as many I don't. Often these images are used in ironic counterpoint to a quotation, sometimes to make the viewer reevaluate the stature of certain individuals, sometimes in, yes, flat-out tribute or damnation. In short, I do put *some* thought . . . a great deal of thought, actually . . . into how I present these materials.
This is one point I am not prepared to concede.
Still, I want to thank you for leaving this comment, because at the very least it gives me an opportunity to address these issues head-on. I hope you continue visiting.
- February 07, 2005 2:35 PM
I've run out of time to respond to your response right now but I'll try to return some day. But reading your answer and a quick checkup on Google has given me the sad news that you are one of those folks who craves attention even if it's a pie in the face. Nonetheless I have to thank you (and I'm serious) for giving me the most amusing time I've had in days. Google led me to some movie fan group discussing the merits of Kevin Smith (and I agree with you there are none) and you enter the fray in all of your oblivious monocle and top hat wearing elitist splendor name-dropping old British silly-ass comedy teams etc and you get set upon by the slacker Smith fans Lord of the Flies style, who answer your loopy snootiness with lines like "Why do I get the impression you know what cock tastes like?" And then you try hard to prove street cred, talk to these fellows in their own lingo so to speak and convince them you can "get down" you're not an old fuddy-duddy. I loved it. It was Internet Theatre of the finest sort. It was like an episode of Frasier except it was screamingly funny. Thank you for being you.

(geez. you've gotta be someone connected with 'afb'. I mean, the level of hostility is too unwarranted to have emerged from any other quarter)
I would only take issue with your contentions that I'm looking for either attention or "street cred". There's so many ways I could get attention on the internet if I wanted it that the mind boggles in counting them. I mean, if you wanted to see attention-seekers, I could show you some genuine lulus (run a Google search on the name Tony Gaza someday and then come back and tell me I crave attention). I wouldn't, as a matter of course, just assume that when someone publishes a blog, or participates in discussions online, that their only purpose is one of garnering people's notice. For instance, I don't automatically assume that that's what youre doing here, so why would you assume that about me?
As for the matter of "street cred", I'd completely forgotten about that contretemps on "Ain't It Cool News" over Kevin Smith (that had to be at least 4 years ago) but, after re-reading it, I think I gave as good as I got, and I knew going into it that the fanboys would try to savage me as best they could. It goes with the territory over there, so I was well-prepared for it. My 19th century affectations in that set-to were deliberate; intended to needle and annoy them if nothing else. I didn't (and don't) care what anyone, other than those I like and respect, thinks of me; and the very last thing I've ever needed is props from geekazoid Talkback-ers on "Ain't It Cool News" (I think I have more ambition in life than that).
Besides (returning to the 'attention' issue for the moment), if I truly am the wanton attention-seeker you portray me as, then wouldn't I subject myself to that nonsense on a daily basis? And wouldn't I have used this blog as a forum for my personal indulgence; writing incessantly about wonderful me?
You really haven't thought this through, have you?
Though once again I thank you for visiting as well as commenting.

i enjoy the whole collage effect of your site, the unique contrast of outstanding images and great quotes. it's a quiet oasis on the internet away from the cultural wasteland of our current post-orwellian nightmare.
the key is to not give a fuck what anyone thinks and forge ahead . . .

Thank you, Bill. As someone who co-produces one of my favorite blogs, your words are doubly appreciated. Also, that's a great Cronenberg quote and it pretty much nails what I'm doing. Personally, I *don't* give a flying fuck, but I will admit I'm interested in what my visitors think (especially the ones who come by repeatedly). I'm mystified, however, how anyone with a rudimentary understanding of the english language could label a blog primarily concerned with non-personal matters self-indulgent. But it's of no moment.
I will keep on trucking.
Thanks again for your kind words.

Dammit Tom, I never knew that I was going to ignite this sort of firestorm when I mentioned the pictures! I've been intending to put some pictures in my blog for a while - it would have been nice to have had a photo of Charles Lane in the posting where I noted the old curmudgeon's 100th birthday. My worry has always been a knock at the door from the "friends of The Mouse" or someone else threatening me with a beating - or worse a law suit. I know I can post my own stuff (and I've got a couple of things that I will post if my brother ever gets around to scanning them, but the rest is tricky.
I've done some research for articles that my brother has written. Sometimes the editor wants photos (usually of World War II armoured vehicles) to go with the article but they have to be "copyright free". It's hard enough finding the photos of some of this equipment; finding (and being sure that it is) copyright free is a pain in the ass. Mainly I end up finding sites where they've got pictures and don't openly state that the material on the site is copyrighted, but where di _it_ come from.

That was my point, Brent. I may be engaged in a form of theft with these images . . . and once again, whoever owns them can send me a 'cease & desist' order and I'll comply if the complaining party has standing . . . but I think I'm safe in saying that in a large number of these I'm stealing the image from someone who has themselves stolen it. Some of these could be second-or-third generation thefts for all I know.
Because I *don't* know. I'm not just going to assume that whomever I got the image from has title to it (and there've been instances where I did not grab an image because its ownership was clearly stated).
At any rate, the only alternative to images that I can see is writing material for the thing. But I'm not stupid, either. I know what little audience this blog has will disappear in a heartbeat the minute I start doing that. So I'm choosing the lesser of two evils here. I can live with some people not liking it, believe me.

Self-delusion and self-justification are clearly mother's milk to you. You present yourself in a pompous, ridiculous light on these usenet groups--you've been very busy in a battle of wits with 16-year-old internet foes thru the years I see--but of course you "meant to" appear pompous and ridiculous. You "get the joke". I've now glanced at some of your other posts and you appear to be quite the put-on artist indeed!
- February 08, 2005 1:51 PM
Since you were kind enough to respond in detail to my accusations about the use of the images let me give you a reply.
- February 08, 2005 1:54 PM
- Tom Sutpen said...
Oh, well . . .
I don't agree with your opinion, but I won't argue the point.
- February 08, 2005 2:03 PM
re the use of images not your own
I do hope I'm not misstating your case as I don't want to and don't see any need. If I've gotten it right, you accept that you are a "thief" doing this, you accept that you are taking something that doesn't belong to you, although you do not seem to feel "theft" in itself is very stigmatizing you de factor concede that this is problematic from a legal standpoint and perhaps actionable by virtue of the fact you avoid taking pictures where the copyright is stated. And regarding justifications, you feel entitled to take possibly stolen material because you took it from someone you think stole it, and because you have not been paid or profited from the stolen material. Further, you also feel justified in taking other people's images because!!! no one would look at your blog if it contained your prose instead of the lifted images made by people who are not you and you do not want to lose your audience!!! (how do I know you are not a professional writer you asked? Do you want to make a claim here? I assume you're using a pen name or perhaps your parents were big Faulkner fans) Does anyone out there not see this as possibly just remotely self-serving, morally equivocating and a hint sociopathic? I and many other people who write and make images professionally have had material taken out of books and magazines and even private resources and uploaded into cyberspace for someone else's fun, profit or creative endeavor. Perhaps I am overstating the case in this context and elements of fair use are relevant (tho I assure you Disney and others will not concede this)and the inernet is after all the wild west and anything goes. Even if this was conceded, I think your elaborated sense of self-justification indicates that you simply don't respect the copyright and control an artist or writer has over their work. Faced with the idea of removing an image you are using--again, YOU concede that you would be obliged to do this under the circumstances of a copyright holder denouncing you--you say: okay, if they catch me, and hey this guy over here robbed somethin' too, and anyway....oh this was good...you didn't want to weigh down "the presentation with credits". Perhaps the people whose credits they are would disagree about that excess baggage.
- February 08, 2005 2:32 PM
A final word and I will go away.
I've put my two or three cent in here because I found your justifications miserable and because I felt irritated enough to goad you. This discussion is indicative of the problem that has to be faced on the internet before it gets worse--much worse than what you are doing. If people feel no guilt or shame or nothing but a sense of entitlement to what they can technically get up on the net than creative people are going to suffer. There has to be a change in attitude I believe. End of sermon.
Yes your blog is interesting and evocative and your taste in cinema is admirable. ciao

- Tom Sutpen said...
Well, I thank you for your words about the blog itself.
My only response is that basically everything you've written is in some sense true, with two exceptions.
One: I don't accept your characterization of my using these images as "sociopathic", simply because I'm fully aware . . . and have been from the moment I started this blog . . . of all the issues you've raised pertaining to using images not my own. I did debate with myself considerably over this approach, believe me. In the end I decided to forge ahead with it. Now, you can say that the wrong side won out in that debate. I won't argue with you. But I honestly wrestled . . . and still do to some extent (which is why I find your objections, and the airing of them, valuable to this blog). . . with the moral dimension of this matter. It's every bit as much a matter of principle to me as it is to you and, despite the fact that I have no intention of altering my course (not at this time, anyway), we do not differ on the base-line morality of what I'm doing.
Two: I can't speak for others on the internet who engage in this practice, but I can assure you that, with the exception of the High School photo of myself I posted some weeks ago, I have never experienced any sense of entitlement to these images. It is always in the back of my mind that *somebody* holds legitimate title to what I'm posting; which is why I decided from the start to institute a policy whereby I would remove an image should its owner object to its use. That's not mere legal cover; it's the least I can do absent any definitive information as to an image's primary source. The matter of ownersip of images online is so ambiguous that in virtually every instance I wouldn't know *who* to ask for permission. I collect these photos using the Google Image search engine (though I do get images from friends on occasion) and, once again, in those cases where I've happened upon something that I thought might be of use but its ownership was clear, or there was a stated proscription against their use, I moved on.
Also, though I admire William Faulkner no end, my parents are not fans as far as I've been able to tell. They did indeed endow me with the name Thomas, however, thereby sticking me with a literary forbear (and a demented one at that) to the end of my days. I've only had to confront the "pen name" issue about 10-12 times so far. As I said to someone in a recent email, I don't know what conclusions we might draw from this as to the state of literacy in this country or the reputation of Faulkner through the decades, but for good or ill Thomas Sutpen *is* my name . . . long may it wave.
One last thing (just to satisfy my curiosity), have I ever had dealings with you prior to this? I only ask because you seem to have some familiarity with my past history on Usenet (though you can count the number of actual flamewars I've gotten into over the past 4 years on one hand), so I was wondering if you were a stray 'ramp-f' regular or something of the sort. You can email me with your answer to that if you'd like.
In closing, I apoplogize if anything I've engaged in here (or anything I've said in the course of this exchange) has offended you . . . there was no need for either of us to be rancorous about any of this, so I for one am sorry if I was . . . and I genuinely thank you once again for the opportunity to air these issues publicly.

Heavy Trash Biography
This US band was formed in 2005 as a collaborative venture between Jon Spencer (Hanover, New Hampshire, USA) of the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and Matt Verta-Ray (b. USA) of Madder Rose and Speedball Baby. The project was intended to be a continuation of the two mens fascination with American roots music and punk, and the common ground to be found between the two genres. Heavy Trashs self-titled debut album veered away from the blues punk of the duos parent bands in favour of a collection of frantic honky tonk and rockabilly numbers. The resulting concoction was a highly enjoyable and seriously rocking album that was a vital addition to both mens résumés. Going Way Out With Heavy Trash, released in 2007, was a fine, rollicking follow-up, with Canadian roots rockers the Sadies and Danish rock n rollers Powersolo and Tremolo Beer Gut drafted in for additional support.

All You Want to Know about Skeuomorphic Design in Interactive Infographic
Does art imitate life or does life imitate art? There is no strict answer for this question, but one thing is for sure – skeuomorphism imitates life in all the details. It's a design trend that shows objects close to their real life analogues. In such a way it makes them familiar to the viewers that can act with them as they do in the real life. When the user sees the button in skeuomorphic design, he pushes it, when a switcher – turns on/of, etc. Elements look like objects from real life, and that's why are inviting for the audience. For example, Apple widely uses this principle in its iOS devices, and all of them are immensely popular for the crowd.
All of you are familiar with audio and visual skeuomorph in design. The first one are most audio effects that accompany your operation with some elements of design (camera, calculator, buttons, etc). The latter are all that textures that are used to make objects close to life.
If you think that skeuomorphism is only a web product, you're mistaken. There are imitations in the real life too. The fake leather, the hubcaps of wheels in cars (resemble earlier wheel construction), electric chandeliers that look like real candles, etc.
Of course, as each trend, this one has its pros and cons.
Users feel comfortable with it, it is quite engaging, really sells, it is appealing to the viewers and acts as a good communicator.
It overlooks functionality, it can confuse, good only for certain sites.
And that's not all. More about this creative design trend you can learn here. If you still have question about:
• History of Skeuomorphism
• Types in Web Design
• Pros and Cons
• List of Free Skeuomorphic Textures
• Examples of First Skeuomorphic UI's
• Real life examples of Skeuomorphism

JUDGMENT S.K. Kulshrestha, J.
1. By this appeal, the appellant has assailed the judgment dated 27th June, 1994 of the learned Sessions Judge, Sagar, in Sessions Trial No. 298/93 by which he has been convicted under Sections 302 and 201 of the IPC and, respectively, sentenced thereunder to imprisonment for life and rigorous imprisonment for 7 years. Both the sentences have been directed to run concurrently.
2. The appellant is the husband of deceased Sarojrani who was tied in the nuptial bondage with him in the summers of 1989. This nuptial was blessed with a son in the year 1991 who was, at the time of the incident, about 3 years old. At the time of the incident, Sarojrani was in the house in which the accused lived alongwith other members including P.W. 1 Jiwanlal, though bed- room of the accused was separate.
3. According to the case of the prosecution, accused was unemployed and frustrated by his unemployment, his wife Sarojrani (deceased) used to pressurize him to allow her to go to her parents' place. This attitude of the deceased had led to quarrels between the two, in the past, as the accused was opposed to the idea of her frequently going to the house of her parents. It was on account of this hostility existing between the two that the accused, according to the prosecution, throttled her and after her death, burnt her body by pouring kerosene oil on the body and lighting a match to it and thereafter went away. On being informed by the neighbour Ajay Kumar, Jiwanlal (P.W. 1) rushed to the place of the incident and thereafter informed the police, on the basis whereof, police recorded a "merg" and sent the body for post-mortem. In the report of post-mortem, it was revealed that the deceased had died on account of throttling and the body was burnt later. During investigation, clothes of the deceased, half burnt match stick, a bucket made of iron sheet containing kerosene oil, was seized and sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory, Sagar in which traces of kerosene were found by the Laboratory. On the basis of the evidence collected by the prosecution including the statement of P.W. 7 Chhiddu Shah that the accused had made extra-judicial confession which he did not support at the trial, the prosecution claimed that the accused was the person who had caused the death of his wife Sarojrani by throttling her and thereafter, in order to screen the offence and the offender, he had burnt the dead body and surreptitiously left the house.
4. The accused, on being charged with the offences aforesaid, denied the charges stating that the case of the prosecution was false and pleaded that he was at the Pathak Medical Store when Arvind Rajput informed him that his wife had set herself on fire and when he reached the spot, police had already arrived. The learned Sessions Judge, however, on trial found the accused guilty and convicted and sentenced him as stated above. It is against this conviction under Sections 302 and 201 of the IPC that the accused has preferred this appeal.
5. We have heard the learned Senior Counsel and the learned Additional Advocate General for the respondent/State and perused the record.
6. Learned Senior Counsel for the appellant has stated that the first and foremost requirement to which the prosecution should have addressed itself is the presence of the accused at the time of the incident or around that time in order to draw any inference that the accused alone was the person who could have killed his wife in the aforesaid manner. Learned Senior Counsel has stated that the prosecution has brought no evidence of traces on the clothes of the accused or any recovery of any means used for commission of throttling or any other evidence to connect the accused with the offence in question and merely on far fetched inference that his wife had died of throttling as stated in Autopsy Report, has proceeded against the accused on the assumption that the accused was guilty. In this behalf, learned Counsel has referred to the decision in Harbans Lal v. State of Punjab and Rajkumar v. State of M.P., , and submitted that unless there is something to suggest proximity of the accused to the person against whom the offence had been committed, then merely because the person happens to be the husband of the deceased, it can not be said that he is the person guilty of the offence committed.
7. Learned Additional Advocate General, per contra, has submitted that though no body has stated anything about the presence of the accused at the time or before or after the incident, yet since the accused and his wife were living in a separate room, though in the house occupied by other inmates also, none else was responsible except the accused and, therefore, he has been rightly convicted. Reliance has been placed by the learned Counsel on the decision in State of Karnataka v. K. Gopalkrishna (2005 AIR SCW 949).
8. The point canvassed before us has narrowed down the controversy and, therefore, elaborate discussion on the point relating to the death of Sarojrani and its homicidal nature is not necessary. In fact, since other facts have receded into background, we can straight away proceed to consider the question and the only question involved in the present case; whether the accused can be held responsible for the death of his wife.
9. We have repeatedly asked the learned Additional Advocate General to point out the evidence to the effect that the accused was seen in the house whether before the incident, at the time of the incident or after the incident. Learned Additional Advocate General, as per his usual can-dour, has accepted that such evidence is not there but he has stressed his point on the footing of the case of K. Gopalkrishna (supra). In view of the asphyxial death and the evidence of strangulation leading to fracture of hyoid bone and the fact that the accused was seen in the house only little before the house was put on fire, Their Lordships observed that it was a case where complicity of the accused was patent from the facts on record. It is undisputed in the case in hand that there is not even an iota of evidence to suggest that at the time of the commission of the offence, before or after the commission of the offence, the accused was present. Thus, the observations relied upon by the learned Additional Advocate General do not apply to the facts of the present case on account of the important distinction going to the root of the matter.
10. Learned Senior Counsel has cited Harbans Lal v. State of Punjab (supra). In this case, it has been observed that where the prosecution did not lead any evidence to show that the appellant was living in the house and not in the shop as pleaded by him, he was entitled to benefit of doubt. This case also related to the murder of wife allegedly by husband. Reliance has also been placed on the decision in Rajkumar v. State of M.P. (supra). In this case, Their Lordships have observed in Paragraph 8 as under :--
"The evidence of P.W. 8 does not advance the prosecution case much. During the long gap of 4 1/2 hours in the day time, there was a reasonable possibility of the accused leaving the house to attend to his work or for any other purpose. In fact, P.W. 15 --the brother of the accused who was declared as hostile witness, set up the version that the accused was working at the saw mill at the crucial time but it was not substantiated further. The accused did not, in the course of his examination under Section 313, Cr.PC, clarify whether he was at the house or elsewhere. He just denied the knowledge of the incident. Though it is not safe to act upon the version given by P.W. 15, yet it was the duty of the prosecution to establish that the accused had or necessarily would have remained at the house around the time when the attack took place. The 'last seen' evidence of P.W. 8, even if believed, can not be pressed into service by the prosecution on account of the long time gap, that too during day time. Barring evidence of P.W. 8 who claimed to have seen the accused at 9.00 a.m. at his house, there is no other evidence to establish the presence of the accused in the house proximate to the time of occurrence. Therefore, the vital link in this behalf is missing in the case."
11. Even later view of Their Lordship, as we have come across in the case of Dasari Siva Prasad Reddy v. Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P. , does not accept the ipso dixit of the prosecution that in the case of the death of wife, the complicity of the husband should be inferred. Observations in Paragraph 23 of the report read as under :--
"23. The High Court then observed that since the plea of alibi is found to be false, it can be inferred that the accused was present in the house in the night of 19-4-1996. The High Court after adverting to the observations in Prabhakar v. State of Maharashtra, , drew the further inference that only the accused and the deceased were in the house at the relevant time and there was no possibility for other to enter into the house. These observations were primarily based on the unreliable evidence of P.W. 4. The High Court's approach in seeking support from the decision in Prabhakar's case is clearly unsustainable. The facts and circumstances in that case unerringly pointed to the presence of the accused at the crucial time and there was no possibility of third person being there. The inferences drawn in that case can not therefore be pressed into service here. If we exclude P.W. 4's evidence, there is no evidence whatsoever to establish the presence of the accused in the house on the crucial night. The fact that the appellant could not establish by cogent evidence that on the night of 19th April, 1996 he remained at the house of his parents in another village does not lead to the necessary inference that the appellant must have remained at his house on the night of 19th April, 1996."
12. In the above case, even on failure of the husband to prove that he was elsewhere, inference that he was there in the house with his wife was found impermissible. We, therefore, find that unless by cogent, trustworthy and reliable evidence it is established as a fact that the husband was present and had the opportunity to strangulate his wife or otherwise cause her death, merely on account of death, by hind sight, it can not be inferred that the husband is the person who caused her death. We make it clear that we should not be understood as laying down that in every case where complicity of the accused is otherwise patent, proof of presence would be imperative. There may be cases where the proof of his presence may become available from the statement in the dying declaration of the deceased or the other circumstances such as hair of the accused in the closed fist of the deceased or the burn sustained by the accused and the like. Such is not the case in hand. What more, the accused has also examined two defence witnesses D.W. 1 Anup Sen and D.W. 2 Santosh Pathak to prove his alibi. However, since the prosecution has failed to prove his presence in or about the time of the commission of the offence, we consider it quite unnecessary to deal with the defence evidence.
13. From the above discussion, we conclude that accused is entitled to benefit of doubt and while the conviction of the appellant under Sections 302 and 201 of the IPC and the sentence awarded thereunder is set aside, he is acquitted of all charges and directed to be set at liberty forthwith if not required in connection with any other matter.

I have a beautiful, precious baby girl who's now eight (I have another beautiful, precious baby girl who's six, but this story isn't about her). When she was little, Cinderella was the QUEEN of the Universe. We practically wore out the VCR tape that my friend loaned me. Since my kids don't really watch t.v. (I have a thing about t.v. – not an over-the-top thing, but a thing nonetheless), we spent a fair bit of time with the Disney classics.
I scoured the Earth looking for a copy that I could buy so that I could give our borrowed copy back. I checked all the usual places; the evil empire of Wal-Mart, all the bookstores, every online outlet that was up and running seven years ago and right back to the Disney Store itself. It was there that I was told that Cinderella was "in the vault" and wouldn't be released until some undisclosed date. It's a BRILLIANT, but frustrating, marketing ploy that Disney uses – they keep their best stuff "in the vault" and only dole them out at undetermined intervals to keep interest high. It feels oddly like a drug dealer who regulates his junkies' fixes. I figured that, given my luck, Cinderella would be released WAY too late to do me any good.
Yeah, I was right. Here we are, almost nine years later, Cinderella is just NOW getting released on DVD. Punkin is SO over Cinderella. PUH-LEESE! She's gone through two other princess by this point and is now into those horrid Bratz dolls (which, mean old parents that we are, we refuse to buy for her on principle. Barbies are bad enough – "big head" dolls are too much for me to take). I'm still considering buying the DVD anyway, though, so if Punkin grows up to have a daughter, she, too, can worship Cinderella (and her Mommy won't have to make herself crazy looking for a copy). That's worth the twenty bucks the DVD will cost, don't you think?

Crankcase Vent Hoses
I replaced my cam sensor today and whilst I was poking around the engine bay I though I would take a look and see if i could identify where I may be having a vacuum leak. I found the crankcase vent hoses - or rather what was left of them!
here is what was left of them when I stripped out all the parts!
I have ordered new hoses from the internet but what I dont know is hwere they connect to.
here is one end of the connections
and here is the other end of the connections
my question is - where does the top hose connect to and where does the bottom hose connect to?
the engine is an M62 from a BMW X5 2002 E53 4.4i
thanks for your help

Hi Tony,
Based on your vin# from your previous posting, this is a pic of your "Right" hand drive model. (Picture Below)
BMW V8 and 6-Cylinder Crankcase Ventilation Check Valve Replacement CCV, CVV, PCV, Oil Separator, Cyclonic, DIY How To on September 4, 2012
Half way down the page. Hope this is helpful.
Vent Hoses
The video was informative but does not require the removal of the crankcase vent hoses.
I can see from the diagram which hose goes where on the oil separator but need to know which hose goes where on the other end.
It looks as though hose 5 goes to the top connector (connection 8) and hose 4 goes to the bottom connector (connection 7)?
Yeah, I know the video wasn't entirely thorough and was hoping it would have given better detail about those hoses in question.
From your pic and the diagram,
Looks like hose #4 goes into #6 lower position of your separator unit and the other end listed as #7 goes into the tube on the lower right hand side of your picture.
Hose #5 goes into the Top #6 position of your separator unit and the end of that tubing listed as #8 goes into the Top portion of your picture which is your Ventilation Check Valve that's on back towards the firewall.
I'm sure you got it by now?
Thanks mate
yes I agree. connection #8 is at 90 degrees and so is the hose and connection #7 is slanted like the hose so I think this is right. thanks for your help.
hoses replaced and fault codes gone!
Glad to Hear Tony!
I have a 04 X5 4.4 that had the CCVs replaced about 1K ago. Im still getting some smoke after idling. I disconnected one of the tubes that goes between the CCV and the intake and put my finger in it when I pulled it out it had a thick film of oil on it. Is this normal? Is that much oil supposed to be getting past the CCvs? Also wouldn't that make it smoke?
The oil separator is supposed to remove the oil. I changed both hoses 400 miles ago and have no smoke. Check the oil separator is functioning correctly
As far as I know the oil separator on my vehicle is the CCVs on the top of the valve covers, I could be wrong. I was told that they were replaced recently. I checked them myself and they seem to be ok no tears cracks or other problems that i can see. It seems odd that the oil in the vent tubes is very clean and I just changed the oil about 500 miles ago. Seems to be getting past somehow. Im wondering if excessive vaccum from the engine being sludged up inside could cause this?
not sure what engine you have. mine is the M62 check out the third photo in this thread - that is the oil separator on my engine
Wow them hoses were bad white lancer! Did your x5 actually run like that, looks like they were like that a while.. I think I'm right in saying that would cause the inlet diaphragm to stay open and thus give a massive vac leak?
yes beleive it or not the car ran absolutely fine with the damaged hoses. They were like that when I bought the car so changed them asap. had a whole load of error codes up due to the vac leak which all cleared once the hoses were replaced

Germany's euro price war
By BBC News Online's Tim Weber in Munich, Germany
"Hidden price rises" were the biggest worry of Germany's sceptic public when the euro was launched as a cash currency.
And on the streets of Munich, most people believe they are worse off.
"Food prices have gone up at least 10%," complains cab driver Thomas Schlack.
A cup of cappuccino used to cost him 2.30 Deutschmarks, he says, but since the euro changeover he has to pay the equivalent of DM 2.80. A glass of wheat beer, a local speciality, was priced at DM5.80. On Wednesday evening, he paid 6.67.
Jan Mikulcik, a student, has just come from the bank, where he queued 30 minutes to swap his last Deutschmarks. He says food prices rose rapidly in the run-up to the euro launch, especially in November and December.
But Germany's largest food retailers claim they are not making a fast euro. Instead, they have launched a ferocious price war.
Aldi makes the first move
Discount chain Aldi fired the first shot, promising to "round down" all converted euro prices to the nearest "attractive price", for example from 4.08 euros down to 3.99.
Other adjustments are smaller. One litre of milk used to cost 1.19 Deutschmarks (DM) or 61 cents, but will be priced at 59 cents.
One day after full page adverts heralded Aldi's move, competitors are joining the battle.
Rival discounters Lidl and Norma have already announced their own price cuts - although only for several hundred key products. At Norma, for example, a large frozen pizza used to cost 2.55 euros, but has been marked down to 2.49.
Smaller competitors like Plus are either following suit, or - like Rewe - weighing their options.
Consumers may be breathing a sigh of relief, but the smaller players in Germany's retail sector will be smarting, as the industry is notorious for its razor-thin profit margins.
Clothes boost
And the price war is spreading beyond the discounters. Kaufland, Germany's second-largest operator of supermarkets shocked the industry - and rivals like Metro and Wal-Mart - by announcing price cuts for 1,300 products.
A bag of Moevenpick coffee, a luxury brand, will now cost 3.99 euros - well below the conversion price of 4.60 euros (DM8.99).
Competitors like Olaf Kather, managing director at Munich's Hertie department store, dismiss the move as a "cute publicity stunt". Deep discounts, he says, might be needed by those that are not ready to cope with two currencies -euro and Deutschmark - at the same time.
Beer price shock
There are a few obvious price increases as well. A number of large breweries have used the euro launch to push up prices by about 10%, ending a long price war that focused on the "attractive price" target of DM19.99.
A crate of beer bottles will now cost 11 euro, well above 20 Deutschmarks.
But even here the price squeeze has begun, with Kaufland now selling one brand of (alcohol-free) beer at 9.99 euros.
In other sectors of the retail industry, firms say their overall prices will level out, with some being rounded up, and others rounded down.
Trend reversal
However, consumer watchdogs confirm the suspicions of customers that all the cost cutting may not be as generous as it seems.
Across Germany, consumer associations have noted steadily rising prices in the run-up to the euro cash launch. Markus Saller, euro expert at the Bavarian consumer association, says there was a flood of complaints about prices during July to November.
However, the key offenders of pre-euro times were not food stores, he says, but shops selling goods in the "medium price range" of 20 to 120 Deutschmarks.
"Most people don't know by heart how much these products cost - clothes or perfumes for example. So it was easy to sneak in hefty price increases," argues Mr Saller.
Retailers have blamed energy costs, inflation and Germany's new eco taxes for last year's price rises.
"I'm sceptical about that claim," says Mr Saller, and on the streets of Munich most people seem to agree.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/4/2009 (3009 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
EDMONTON - The Edmonton Eskimos signed free agent quarterback Jared Zabransky, the cover player on EA Sports' "NCAA Football 08" video game, on Monday.
Zabransky, who began his career at Boise State as a backup to Winnipeg Blue Bombers QB Ryan Dinwiddie, guided the Broncos to 12-0 record in his senior year and capped off his college career by leading BSU past Oklahoma 43-42 in overtime at the 2007 Fiesta Bowl.
He left Boise State with 612 completions in 983 attempts for 8,256 yards and 58 touchdowns in 48 games (39 starts).
The next year he was on the video game cover.
Zabransky proceeded to sign with the Houston Texas as an undrafted free agent in 2007 and spent time on their practice squad. He later signed with Pittsburgh and was waived last July.
"Jared Zabransky is an accurate passer, very mobile and he has outstanding leadership abilities," Eskimos head coach Richie Hall said in a statement. "His skills are well suited to the CFL game."

The well-known Partition Magic is hard disk partition software for Windows Operating System, but it can't be used on Windows Server, like Windows Server 2003. Developed for desktop users, it was originally made by the PowerQuest corporation but now owned by Symantec. After changing the ownership, there has not yet been an upgrade for Partition Magic to support Windows Server.
Fortunately, EASEUS released its EASEUS Partition Manager Server Edition, which can perform basic and advanced partition operations on your Windows Server 2000/2003/2008 without data loss.
As a server computer, it protects the whole network, and usually it stores the most important classified or daily-used files. Once the server computer is down, the whole network turns naked to outside. The security and stability are the most important aspects for server computers.
The shinning point of this partition software is that it can resize/move your partitions by using the free space without destroying data. That means the server computer won't lose any data while repartitioning the disk. Remember one thing, keeping your server computer safe is to keep your network safe, anything unsure can not be applied on server computers.
With the help of EASEUS Partition Manager Server Edition which is the server alternative of Partition Magic, you can resize/move, create, delete and format partitions on your hard disk quickly and easily.

Animal testing fails the three R's
Page Tools
Researchers' code of practice aims to reduce, replace and refine animal use. That does not appear to be happening.
The use of animals in research experiments is a difficult ethical issue. No one likes to think about an animal suffering in a laboratory. But few people would refuse medical help for a loved one just because an animal may have been involved in the development of that treatment. Most people would expect, though, that researchers do not use animals for testing any more than is absolutely necessary. There is a code of practice that reflects that expectation. An Age special investigation has raised questions about the level of compliance with the National Health and Medical Research Council's code of practice, which requires scientists to apply the three R's - reduction, replacement and refinement - to animal experiments. In 2003, 488,808 animals were used in experiments in Victoria - the 1997 total was 324,308 - and about 75 per cent were killed. The chairwoman of the research council's animal welfare committee, Elizabeth Grant, attributed much of the increase to recent developments in genetic medicine, but she also said some researchers had become complacent in applying the 3Rs.
The Senate is to hold an inquiry into animal welfare laws, which cover experimentation. This is a welcome development, which should help inform public debate about the terms and extent of animal use. Little is known about what goes on in our laboratories and reporting mechanisms differ from state to state, making comparisons and assessments difficult. It appears more funding is needed to encourage researchers to develop alternatives to animal experimentation. Democrats senator Andrew Bartlett - whose private member's bill sparked the inquiry - wants a national register of animal experiments to be established to ensure research is not duplicated. He is a self-described "reductionist, not prohibitionist", which is a sensible approach. It is foolish to argue that research on animals has not benefited humanity. Animal experiments have helped develop vaccines for polio, rabies and measles and are at the forefront of work to treat cancer, AIDS and other diseases. But we have a responsibility to ensure animals are not sacrificed in meaningless or unnecessarily cruel experiments.

The unexpected move comes 18 months after Mr Murdoch's investment company, Illyria, paid $16 million for 9.1 per cent of Prime. Illyria managing partner Siobhan McKenna joined the Prime board in August 2009.
Mr Murdoch has built an eclectic collection of investments since he quit as deputy chief operating officer of News Corp in July 2005 (he remained on the board), including stakes in the Indian cricket team Rajasthan Royals, online DVD rental company Quickflix, toy marketer Funtastic and failed digital marketing firm Destra.
He made his biggest investment in November 2009, paying British company Daily Mail and General Trust $50 million for 50 per cent of DMG Radio Australia, which owns the Nova, Classic Rock and 5AA stations.
Mr Murdoch, who sold his 4.6 million News Corp shares late last year for $US55.7 million, also took on $62 million of DMG Radio's debt and became chairman of the company.
Illyria bought its Prime stake during the latter's $110 million capital raising, paying about 48¢ a share. Prime shares were steady at 64¢ yesterday.
The raising cut Mr Ramsay's stake from 43.3 per cent to 29.7 per cent, although he has since moved back to 30 per cent. Kerry Stokes's Seven Group Holdings is Prime's second-largest shareholder, with an 11.5 per cent stake.
Prime has sold two small businesses and rejigged its senior management team since Ian Audsley, a former senior executive at the Seven and Nine networks, joined as chief executive on June 16. Earlier this week Rob Gamble quit as chief executive of Prime's radio and online division.
Media executives claimed the recent changes at Prime were part of a plan to clean it up ahead of a sale to Seven (Prime buys most of the programs for its TV stations from Seven).
Seven cannot buy Prime without breaching media laws, which prevent one company from owning TV stations that reach more than 75 per cent of the population. Seven's reach is 73.8 per cent.
In July Communications Minister Stephen Conroy told The Australian Financial Review the Gillard government would ditch the audience reach rule next year.
Mr Murdoch replaced Michael Siddle, a Prime director since 1985, as deputy chairman.

Back in Beijing!
I'm ending my China adventure where I started it; in fascinating Beijing! It's so strange to be back! It's just as I remember it, just some degrees colder and some more pollution in the air. The first night (20th) we went to Wangfujing food street and I ate scorpions!
Today we went to see Mao's dead body. It was so serious, not talking (when Hanna whispered something to me, a guard said: SHHHH!!!, with the most serious look on his face) and there were guards everywhere. One thing I know for sure is that you don't mess with Chinese police and security gurads. You could not stop when you saw Mao, just walk past for about 5 seconds. HAHA! The worst thing was that I started to laugh, because he looked so tense and looked like a glowing lamp. I seriously thought that they put a orange lamp inside his head. Everybody knows the painful feeling when you have to laugh but, for anything in the world, you cannot! That was the dominating feeling inside me during the whole session. I need to stop see the humor in everything, because this seems to happen to me a lot.
Apart from that, we've done some serious shopping these past few days. I have to throw a lot of my old stuff away to get eveything home. Shopping in Beijing is great!

The Mets' weaknesses conspired against them again last night. The bullpen blew another lead and the offense floundered late in a 4-3 loss to the Marlins. Aaron Heilman walked four in the ninth to score the winning run after Duaner Sanchez gave up a solo homer to Mike Jacobs to tie it in the eighth.
The notebook had reaction from Mike Pelfrey, who hit Cody Ross with a pitch in the second inning, causing the benches to clear. I also have Jerry Manuel's thoughts on Ryan Church and three injuries to watch in the bullpen.
