Israeli producer Noam Helfer, who works under the moniker Helfer, makes music that sounds organic and synthetic at the same time. Maybe it's because he blends together old school analog synths with samples of the natural world, creating arrangements that'll start with a bird chirping or wind blowing, and end with an artificial crash of mediated electronics. Or maybe it's because his pulsing, heavy baritone is uniquely unprecedented, but somehow timeless. Whatever it is, it makes for an unpredictable listen.
After releasing a series of albums with his experimental post-rock act Kitzu, Helfer began creating solo work, releasing his debut EP, Air Drops, for BLDG5 earlier this month. The EP is six tracks of burbling, squawking, synth 'n' sample work, placated by Helfer's weighted vox. I caught up with Noam via email to talk about the new EP, performing live and couch-surfing. Helfer embarks on a European tour next week, but for now, you can download his new EP, Air Drops, here.
Can you talk a little bit about the inspiration behind Air Drops?
Air Drops is my debut EP so it consists of tracks about different periods in my life. I've always written my own music, and in 2013 I went through changes in my life. I stopped working with others and started performing as a solo artist. Air Drops marks the first chapter as my solo career blossoms.
It seems like you use a lot of samples of natural sounds (birds, water, etc.) on the EP. What was the decision behind this?
When I'm outside, walking or riding my bike I never have my headphones on. I like the sound and ambience of our world. Every situation and scenario sounds completely different and compiles from different elements that combine into one big crazy symphony. Something about the "clean" and "dry" sound in a recording studio just doesn't relate to me. In reality there are always other layers going on while the main thing is happening.
So what was the recording process like?
It was a long process, almost three years of recording from time to time, scribbling down words in my notebook, small and big moments of inspiration and flow. Then came the decision to put it all into an EP. From there on, many hours of sleepless night in my studio and then mixing with my amazing brother Shimon Tal who helped me turn my ideas into a complete piece.
What instruments/equipment do you use?
The work in the studio is very different from the live set. I started off as a guitarist, so I use guitars quite often, but usually it quite changes once it's on Ableton. Besides that I work with analog synths like Korg Trident, Siel and sometimes just use Ableton's Operator. I also work a lot with my voice, for samples, synths and pads. For the live set I bring an AKAI APC40 and a Fender Mustang 64′ guitar.
How does playing your songs live differ from recording them?
My live set is built so I can change almost everything on the spot, so each concert has a different feel, a different crowd and a different me. If people are into dancing, I give them dancing, if they just wanna hear songs and kick back, I play my songs more chilled. It's really dynamic, and that's exactly what makes it so alive and exciting.
Is your song Couch Surfer inspired by actual couch-surfing? Do you have any stories about that?
Actually I've couch-surfed only once in my previous band (Kitzu) while touring, but the song is not about that at all. It's actually in a way about my living room couch, and a day where it felt like getting up would be impossible. But, as always, the music got me up. I started recording and things just got better.
You're going on a European tour soon. Is there anywhere in particular you're excited to visit?
The whole tour is really exciting! But there are two places I really wanna see and feel. One of them is Zagreb in Croatia—what goes down there?! The second is Vienna. I imagine it to be such a magnificent city. I've heard really good things about it, and we'll have the chance to stay there for a few days so we'll get to feel it.
What's the music scene in Israel like?
Really great musicians/DJs keep on popping up. Most of the artists live in Tel Aviv, but there also good ones scattered all around. There are two or three main "families" that lead the scene in Tel Aviv. BLDG5 is my family, which represents other great artists like Garden City Movement, 3421 and Rotem Or. Another great family is Raw Tapes which focuses mainly on beats, Brainfeeder-style. It's not London (yet), but Tel Aviv is definitely happening.
How do you think your surroundings affect your music?
Israel is a complicated place, but let's not get into it.
How have things changed for you since signing with BLDG5?
BLDG5 is a sub-label of Anova Music, the biggest indie label in Israel. I've been working with those guys for a while now, as I released two albums with Kitzu on their label. BLDG5 works on almost every aspect of my solo project. Being surrounded by great crews of professional and caring people is one of the best things an artist can wish for himself. It's really like a family.
What can we expect from your full-length album?
Whenever I work on a new tune I just can't wait to get it out. But I really want to be able to take the time and build a conceptual album, where each track connects to the previous one. It will all tell one big story, probably an abstract story because I'm not much of a storyteller.

My love for culinary arts
Earning a living of what I love most would be the best thing. I myself enjoy many things including: biology, exercising, drawing and painting but, cooking takes the cake. Culinary arts is something that I would very much enjoy taking up because I would do what I love all day long. Good food is the key to a person's heart. It has so many variations of colors, textures, flavors and aromas that just hug your soul. With that being said many people become overweight and have heart problems so, I would encourage healthier and more nutritious foods, but nutritious does not have to mean disgusting in this case. Although, everybody enjoys food, I am aware that sadly many people go to sleep hungry. To combat this issue I would organize kitchens that will be open to those needy people as a free event. I cannot change the entire world alone, but I sure can start helping somewhere. I believe that God gave us all talents and capabilities for a reason. So if my living would help anybody, that's a plus for me. Thank You for your Consideration.

Hilton Newark Penn Station
Gateway Center - Raymond Blvd, Newark, NJ
0.1 km from
฿ 5,279+
Airport shuttle
The location was fantastic for us. The evenning of our stay we had arrived at Newark rail station off the train from Baltimore. We left our luggage at the hotel and after freshening up caught a quick train to Manhatten for ann evenning out. The following morning we used the hotel's airport shuttle service to fly out of Newark Airport. There was slight confusion about the airport shuttle service. The evenning receptionist told us we needed to confirm our intended use half an hour beforehand. When I duly attempted this the next morning I was told this was unecessary
Arrived late and called the hotel about the shuttle from Newark airport, was told it was on its way. 1 hour later was told it was stuck in traffic, so caught a cab and was there in 10 minutes, didn't see much traffic anywhere.
right across the street to newark pennstation(trainstation)20 min from NYC penn station,very helpful and nice employees,free access to business center with free & fast internet,small but nice fitness room, very noisy, expensive inhouse restaurant,not much facilities around and newark is definately not a beautiful city,starbucks is closed on weekends,rooms not cleaned at 100%
15mn away from New York Penn station. Hotel staff very friendly. Free shuttle to Newark airport. Not the nicest suburb, but seams to be safe.
The staff we met while checking in were exceptionally friendly and included concierge service which included evening hors d'oeuvres plus continental breakfast. When we asked details about train times to NY city etc they could not have been more helpful.
Location inside pen station. Room with good view over penn station and beyond to the airport Good let luggage I had to wait one and a half hours for the shuttle despite ringing three times. When I told te reception staff they showed little interest and didn't apologise although they did offer a free breakfast. Generally the staff were uninterested and I didn't feel valued as a customer Internet expensive
convenience to both airport and new york shuttle bus only running hourly to airport - surprised as budget hotels we have used run half hourly shuttles
The staff were very helpful, they were particularly friendly in the Market Grill where we had breakfast on 2 mornings. Beautiful room, and the bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. Usually we stay in Manhattan when we visit New York but this hotel offered a great alternative.It was very cost effective as it was $10 return from the station to Penn Station New York [34th Street near Macys] Our room was not ready when we arrived and even when we came back at 11pm, we then had to wait on the bell hop to bring it up. Think this should have been done.The Starbucks attached to the Lobby only opened Monday to Friday and even then closed at 7 pm. The walkway from the train station to the hotel was closed each evening when we returned from the city meaning that we had to go outside of the station and cross the road to access the hotel lobby. During this we were stopped several times by people asking for money.
Concierge Service on the 9th floor was super! Expensive restaurant in hotel with very poor service.
It has a very convenient location near the train station that made our trip in and out of New York easy. There was some difficulty in confirming a taxi booking to go to an event.
The location is the greatest thing about it, as it is next door to the PATH train that takes one to Manhattan in 30 minutes.n I really can't think of anything I did not like.

DNS forward works great. Looks like I should have done a bit more
reading before posting.
The only problem is I have ~500 domaisn that need to be changed to
access the private IPs. I can easily make a script that can give me
all the data I need to add to my m0n0wall config but I don't know of a
easy way to do this. Does anyone know of a easy way to interface with
m0n0wall remotely. The only way that I can see to do this now is grab
the config.xml from status.php and check to see if it already has the
domain and if not post the information to the DNS forward add form.
This would be really slow because of the disk writes and feels wrong.
If anyone has a better idea please let me know.

About the Book
October's Adventure: Eileen and I hiked about 120 miles of the ninth-century medieval pilgrimage Camino de Santiago Compostela, or St. James Way, in northern Spain. We started in St. Jean-Pied-de Port, France and continued through the Pyrenees to Logrono, Spain. Eileen was diagnosed with breast cancer in January, 2010. It was discovered in the very beginning stages and successfully treated. It was suggested by one of the many amazing people that helped us through this period that we do a pilgrimage/retreat to help come to terms with the ordeal. Now seemed like the perfect time so we started our trek on October 5, 2011.

Cougars' Kuebler hits three homers
Royals prospect more than doubles season total, plates four
By David Heck / Special to MLB.com | July 6, 2011 9:08 PM ET
The Royals prospect went deep three times and drove in a career-high four runs, powering the Class A Kane County Cougars to a 10-7 victory over the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers.
Kuebler also scored four times in the first multi-homer game of his four-year career.
"I've been working with the guys on our team," Kuebler said. "Our manager [Vance Wilson] and hitting coach [Damon Hollins] have been trying to change things up. The first time I did that was about a week and a half ago. That's when I hit my first home run, then yesterday I had another and then the three today. I've been sticking to my approach and it's been working pretty good."
Kuebler, the cousin of Kansas City's Alex Gordon, missed the start of the season after suffering a head injury in Spring Training. He struggled upon his return on May 20, batting under .200 until Wednesday.
"It was really hard coming back at first," the 2008 17th-round pick said. "For about a month, I was trying to feel my way back in. My mechanics weren't there and I was trying to make up for lost time."
Kuebler homered in his first at-bat Wednesday, taking a 2-0 pitch from starter Del Howell over the left-field wall. He went deep again in the seventh, winning a battle with reliever Dan Britt.
"It was about a 10-pitch at-bat," Kuebler said. "I fouled three pitches off my ankle, which is all bruised up now. I took the count to 3-2 and had a two-strike approach. I squared it up and took it over the fence."
The 21-year-old first baseman's final longball came in the ninth against Skyler Crawford.
"The count went to 1-2 and I was just thinking, 'Let's not strike out right now,'" Kuebler said. "I didn't want to end the game on a bad note. I got a curveball up and put a good swing on it.
"So it's kind of two different ends of the spectrum. I got ahead in the count [earlier] and got down in the count [later], but I battled and got a pitch to hit."
After failing to homer in his first 29 games, Kuebler has five in his last nine contests. Getting some time off during the Midwest League All-Star break helped him clear his head and make changes to his swing, he said.
"I went back home for the All-Star break and came back with a new attitude," he said. "I've been trying to stick to my approach. I made the mechanical changes that I needed to make and I was trying to take them over to the game. I think that's a big difference. Those things combined to have good results."
Since the All-Star break, Kuebler is hitting .318 (14-for-44) with nine RBIs, 11 runs scored and a 1.059 OPS in 12 games. In doing so, he has raised his average 48 points to .211.
"I told myself I wanted to be hitting at least .225 by the end of July and .250 by the end of the season," Kuebler said. "I was hitting under .100 [during my] first month of the season. I took a step back and am taking it one day at a time. I'm not trying to get five hits every other day. I've been trying to hit balls hard rather than trying to get hits."

One of my favorite songs at the moment is Fela Kuti's Colonial mentality. I find it to be both profound and hip while disagreeing fully with its title and its message, which is a proof of the universality and greatness of Kuti's music (it is difficult but to enjoy it, I have to ignore his politics and his misogyny).
I stopped a long time ago to believe that there is such a thing as blackness and africanness/africanity. I have realized that the quest for authenticity is similar to Caligula's destructive and impossible one for the sun in Camus's play in the sense that it always ends with a witch-hunt for there must be monsters to blame for shortcomings and traitors to chastise for their refusal to be 'true africans' or whatever else is considered to be pure or socially acceptable.
Colonial mentality is a great song with a political message that I despise because it is culturalist and defines identity in terms that are too absolute and too reactionary to be productive. To put things bluntly, since existence precedes essence, what matters is the choice for people aren't being in themselves. Whether a mentality is colonial or not is no longer an essential question for what matters is individuality and responsibility. That said, the song is awesome and Fela Kuti's message is worth listening too because although his conclusion is erroneous, it is both legitimate and pertinent while being too self-absorbed and ideological to be complete.

A systems integrator with lengthy experience in the government IT market is rethinking its cloud strategy, saying its security-conscious customers want to build solutions in their own data centers rather than host them in third-party facilities.
Harris Corporation said Monday that it will discontinue its Cyber Integrated Solutions operation and sell a data center facility in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The company expects to incur a loss of $70 million to $80 million on the operation, which will be recognized in an after-tax charge during fiscal 2012.
Harris had invested $200 million in the 140,000 square foot facility in Harrisonburg, which it bought in 2010. Harris hired Lee Technologies to overhaul the facility, and entered a strategic alliance with VCE,which markets solutions from Cisco, EMC and VMware.
Harris said that although it sees demand for cyber security and cloud-enabled solutions, its government and commercial customers currently prefer hosting mission-critical information on their own premises.
No Additional Value on Trust?
"We know there's a large growing market for cloud computing, and we have the technology and expertise to be an important player in it," Harris president and CEO William Brown said in the company's earnings call on Jan. 31. "But it's becoming clear that customers, both government and commercial, currently have a preference for on-premise versus off-premise solutions.
"As this market evolves, it's also becoming clearer that customers don't place additional value on trust and are unwilling to move the most mission-critical applications to the cloud before less-sensitive applications are thoroughly tested and vetted in a cloud environment," Brown added.
Harris will instead focus on providing secure networks and cloud solutions for customers on their own premises. "These actions allow us to refocus our capital and efforts on the secure, cost-effective communications and IT solutions that our customers are demanding," said Brown.
In January, Brown said the Harrisonburg facility "remains highly underutilized and a significant financial drag," and lost $10 million in the most recent quarter.
A Changing Market, or Execution Problems?
Does Harris' pullback signal a material slowdown in government agencies' appetite for cloud solutions, or is it tied to strategic challenges with Harris' approach to the market? Harris cited recent budget cutbacks in the defense department as an issue.
But the performance of other providers in the government cloud market suggest that some agencies are willing to use third-party facilities. Terremark has done strong business at its NAP of the Capital Region, located just 30 miles east of the Harris Cyber data center. Terremark successfully filled three 50,000 square foot data centers with government and commercial customers before being sold to Verizon last year.
The Harris Cyber Integration center earned Tier III certification from the Uptime Institute, which put together this 5-minute video providing a look inside the Harris facility.

Hounds, need I say more!! Run don't walk over to Miel and horde these little beauties. It IS 117 degrees outside so factor that in and take a small cooler, a bag of ice or have a freezing car waiting. The flavors are outrageous, all kinds of ganache, hazel nut, fleur de sel, fruits,etc all made of THE best ingredients! In Europe, lots of stores, pull chocolate from stores in the summer months which is only fitting in a continent that only got AC in the last few years(after all of those poor grannies and grandpas died during a heat wave a few years ago in their 6 floor walk ups in Paris.)

More weirdos turned up at the additional audition city, forcing the judges to admit only a few with real talent and real motive to be an Idol.
If one thought Los Angeles as the city of entertainment would offer more "American Idol" talents than the other audition cities, they are wrong. More people with eccentricities came to the place than the ones with real singing voice.
The last slot of the day is usually reserved for a real good singer but this time, it's this season's version of General Larry Platt. At 59 years old, Cooper Robinson is way overdue to be an "Idol" but he was there only as the show's attempt to insert comedy. He sang an awful rendition of "I Feel Good", the judges were left speechless and he left the place, knowing what they would say.
But Cooper was not the only stunt. Matt "BIG STATS" Frankel showed up in a suit but he raps. Claiming he's a music producer to a bunch of great artists, Frankel has a voice that was a joke to the judges. "Give me that one shot. I know it's against your guys' better judgment. I can see it in your faces. I really needed to lubricate up a bit," he begged. But the judges were adamant, and later Frankel declared a war against Randy Jackson.
Call it a case of bad audition, Tynisha Roches was a perfect example. Roches was so confident that she is the next "Idol" that she couldn't let go of the mic she brought although Randy and Steven Tyler had tried to yank it out to stop her from singing. She made Randy leave the room and call the security. "Randy was all about giggles. I thought he was a lot cooler than that. He was like the Pillsbury Doughboy," she said outside.
And then there was Victoria Garrett who believed that God had brought the audition to the city because she is meant to be the winner. She screeched through her song and Steven encouraged the other two judges to just "get it over with". "You are going to, Siberia!" Steven joked. It was Jennifer Lopez who said no to her and it was also Jennifer who got the diss from Victoria.
Next week, the judges could have a better luck in San Francisco.

Graph Drawing by Stress Majorization
Gansner, Emden R. and Koren, Yehuda and North, Stephen (2004) Graph Drawing by Stress Majorization. In: Graph Drawing 12th International Symposium, GD 2004, September 29-October 2, 2004, New York, NY, USA , pp. 239-250 (Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-31843-9_25).
Full text not available from this repository.
One of the most popular graph drawing methods is based on achieving graph-theoretic target distances. This method was used by Kamada and Kawai [15], who formulated it as an energy optimization problem. Their energy is known in the multidimensional scaling (MDS) community as the stress function. In this work, we show how to draw graphs by stress majorization, adapting a technique known in the MDS community for more than two decades. It appears that majorization has advantages over the technique of Kamada and Kawai in running time and stability. We also found the majorization-based optimization being essential to a few extensions to the basic energy model. These extensions can improve layout quality and computation speed in practice.

It would be something of a misnomer to suggest that West Ham have suddenly become an attacking powerhouse – they still lack a quality finisher and someone who can take advantage of Andy Carroll's aerial supremacy for that to happen – but there have been signs in the last two league matches that Sam Allardyce has been trying to play a more expansive game.
Ironic then that against Liverpool and Arsenal, the Hammers have made some defensive mistakes and been involved in referring debates that have taken the sheen of off what has otherwise seen some encouraging performances.
Modern football though is as much about mental attitudes as tactical insight and the appalling clearance by Stewart Downing that allowed Arsenal back into the game just before half-time at the Emirates, was a good example that proved that - particularly against the better sides - a team can never afford to make a mistake or show any weakness.
The shame of it was that the Hammers looked much better with Mo Diame in the middle of the park, allowing Matt Jarvis to have one of his better games.
Indeed, but for a bit of old style decision-making that decided Jarvis to stay on his feet when tackled waist high by Bacary Sagna in the penalty area – somewhere Ron Greenwood was doubtless applauding – the Hammers could have had a nervous Arsenal team on the ropes by half-time.
Fans will doubtless be hoping for the formation – if not the form – to continue at home to Crystal Palace to allow the Hammers to get the point or three needed to confirm Premier League football next season, but Big Sam's post-match comments suggests we might be in for another war of attrition against Tony Pulis' vastly-improved side.
At Easter weekend though, it's sometimes hard for some older supporters not to get all starry-eyed when thinking of how crucial the period used to be in deciding important issues in the league.
Although the Premiership program extends itself fully over the weekend for TV purposes, it once used to run over the four days of the holiday period in actual games for the club, a team often playing on Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Bank Holiday Monday.
Modern understanding of health and fitness wouldn't allow for it now, of course, but it's amusing nonetheless to consider modern footballers putting aside a pie and a pint, lacing up the heavy boots and trotting out for three games in four days.
On evenings when I've little else to do, I like to imagine the FA having a season of old-style football where players don't roll over six times when tackled, stay on their feet when scythed in half by an opponent smelling of Craven ready-rubbed and Watney's Pale Ale and given only a finger-wagging admonishment by a referee in a top-hat needing to get back to Barnsley post-match for his Sunday shift down the mine.
As it is though, Allardyce v Pulis is a close as we're likely to get. Tin hat on everyone!

This is an introductory chapter from a book called "The Enthios.com Guide to Fibonacci and Beyond"
Everything in nature is made up of building blocks. Just as the universe is made up of atoms, so the market is made up of basic units called Market Structures. And just as there are two basic part to an atoms - protons and electrons - so in the market there are two types of structures, Market Structure High and Market Structure Low. Most price movement in the market can be defined in terms of MSL's and MSH's, and the ranges that are found in-between them. Likewise, everything you find at enthios.com is, for the most part, defined in terms of MSL's, MSH's, and the building block that they form together, 1-2-3 Reversals.
A Market Structure Low (MSL) is the first sign of a potential reversal in prices from a downtrend to an up trend. It is usually made up of three price bars (or candles): A low, a lower low, and then a higher low. The "Low" is measured from the actual low of the candle, not the closing price. Ideally, as shown in Figure1, the Low and Lower Low will both be "down" bars (where the closing price is lower than the open price), whereas the third bar, the Higher Low, will be an up bar.
Figure 1 - MSL
The MSL is actually triggered when prices subsequently move above the high of the third candle, as shown by the dotted line. Of course, it is dangerous to enter a long trade simply on the trigger of a MSL. But this book is filled with ample opportunities to use the MSL and MSH as triggers for different trades.
A MSL can also be made up of two bars or candles when they both have the same low. This is known as a double bottom, as shown in Figure 2. Again, ideally the first bar of the double bottom will be a down bar, and the second will be an up bar. In this example, the second is a doji (open and close were the same), which is neutral.
Figure 2: Double Bottom MSL
The opposite of a MSL is a Market Structure High (MSH). It is the first sign of a potential reversal in prices. A MSH is usually made up of three price bars (or candles): A high, a higher high, and then a lower high. The "High" is measured from the actual high of the bar, not the closing price.
Again, the MSH is triggered short when prices move below the low of the third bar in the MSH pattern.
Figure 3: MSH
The next important building block is made up of MSL's and MSH's. Just as a MSL is the first sign of a potential reversal in prices, the combination of a MSL, a MSH, then a MSL that is higher than the first one, is a confirmation pattern that a down trend has reversed into an up trend. This is illustrated in Figure 4.
4: Upside 1-2-3 Reversal
Note that the MSL trigger on the higher MSL is the first point of entry for a reversal trade, however the reversal is not confirmed until prices move above the high of the previous MSH.
Some of my trading friend have pointed out that a MSH is exactly the same as a Swing High. That probably is the case. Certainly every swing high is made up of a MSH at its apex. However there are some instances where a MSH is not a swing high.
expect miracles, they are everywhere.............. God is good all the time

Julie Thomas, from Sussex, had the design and the words "Grandpa H", put on her arm to remember her grandfather.
But it's against the law for people under 18 to get tattoos, and Julie's mum, Mary, wants the tattooist who did it to be investigated.
Julie says she felt pressured into getting the design. She said: "If I could scratch it off, I would."
She went on: "I didn't realise how big it was until I saw it in the mirror."
The tattooist who did Julie's design apparently only does the designs as a hobby.
Julie has had to have blood tests to see if she's caught anything from his needles, but won't know the results for three months.
The design cost �40, but it could cost up to �600 for painful laser surgery to have it removed.
The law says people under the age of 18 can only get tattoos for medical reasons.
Even if they have an adult with them, or have permission from a parent or guardian, it's still illegal for anyone to give young people a decorative tattoo.

Public Policy Polling's new poll asked, among other questions: "Who do you think deserves more credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden: Barack Obama or Mitt Romney?" Now, that's a very odd question, in that you would be hard pressed to come up with a scenario in which Mitt Romney had anything to do with the Osama bin Laden raid at all—much less more to do with it than the actual president that gave the go-ahead. The results by party, though, may be the new craziest thing you've ever seen [PDF]:
Poll: One in six Republicans say Mitt Romney deserves the credit for killing bin Laden

* Nikkei stays below major support lines * Nikkei may hit 8,500 before it picks up - analyst By Ayai Tomisawa TOKYO, Nov 9 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei share average fell 1 percent on Friday, extending declines into a fifth day on investor caution about U.S. fiscal woes and discouraging developments in Europe that have sent the yen climbing against the dollar and the euro. The re-emergence of macro-economic concerns comes amid a weak quarterly earnings season that has seen many companies cut their annual guidance. "Investors were overly optimistic that they had thought that the market would price in the U.S. election result and would buy Japanese stocks whose valuations are cheap," said Masatoshi Sato, a senior strategist at Mizuho Investors Securities. "It's too early to price in all the negative factors. The market may not pick up unless the index hits bottom around a psychological support level of 8,500." Key concerns for investors include the U.S. fiscal cliff - $600 billion in spending cuts and tax increases due to take effect early next year, as well as few signs of progress in Europe's debt crisis. The euro is trading near one-month lows against the yen, under pressure after ECB President Mario Draghi said the euro zone economy showed little sign of recovering before the year-end despite easing financial market conditions. In early trade, the Nikkei dropped 1.1 percent to 8,739.06. It is trading below its 25-day moving average of 8,862 99 and its 13-week moving average at 8,874.40. The broader Topix index fell 1 percent to 728.23. "The index has breached major support lines and there are worries that exporters may not meet their full-year targets even after they reduced their outlooks," said Hiroichi Nishi, general manager at Nikko Cordial Securities. "But the volume of selling may not be that big today ahead of the weekend," he added Carmakers and electronics makers led losses, with Toyota Motor Corp, Honda Motor Co, Toshiba Corp and Nikon Corp declining between 1.6 percent to 1.8 percent. Nexon Co Ltd slumped 9.7 percent to a record low of 827 yen after the online game provider cut its full-year operating profit forecast for the year ending December. Tsumura & Co surged 8.1 percent to a 28-month high after the manufacturer of Chinese medicine raised its full-year operating profit forecast and annual dividend estimate, citing better sales.

Nearly all Muslims can agree on the basic beliefs of Islam: There is one God, Muhammad is God's prophet, and Muslims should fast during the holy month of Ramadan and give alms to the poor.
Yet beyond these central pillars of the faith, Muslims worldwide vastly differ as religious convictions are shaped by cultural and social contexts, according to a new report by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.
"The World's Muslims: Unity and Diversity" draws on 38,000 face-to-face interviews in 39 countries, and finds that Muslims differ sharply over questions of faith, such as who counts as a Muslim and what spiritual practices are acceptable.
With 1.6 billion adherents, Islam is the world's second-largest religion, behind Christianity, and accounts for one-quarter of the world's population.
"There isn't one single Muslim world. There are many Muslims around the world that share beliefs, but there are differences as well," said James Bell, director of international survey research at the Pew Forum.
Though broad, the report is not comprehensive. "Political sensitivities" and "security concerns" kept researchers out of some countries with significant Muslim populations, including China, India, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Syria.
Muslims are united by the shahada, the declaration of faith that there is only one God and Muhammad is his messenger, as well as by specific religious practices and belief in angels, judgment day, and fate.
But they differ significantly by country and region in levels of religious commitment, openness to multiple interpretations of faith and the Sunni/Shiite divide.
For instance, 95 percent of Muslims in sub-Saharan Africa said religion is "very important" to them. Solid majorities agreed in the Middle East, North Africa and the United States.
Meanwhile, the atheist strain within communism continues to reverberate through former Soviet states like Russia and Kazakhstan, where much lower percentages of people (44 percent and 18 percent, respectively) say religion is "very important."
Generally, men and women worldwide held similar religious commitments. However, they differed greatly in mosque attendance, especially in Central Asia and South Asia, which is probably due to local or cultural norms, Bell said.
Younger Muslims worldwide were less religiously committed than older Muslims, with the biggest differences seen in the Middle East and North Africa. In Lebanon, for instance, Muslims older than 35 were 28 percentage points more likely to pray several times a day than younger Muslims. Only Russia showed younger Muslims placing significantly more importance on religion.
Sectarian differences were divisive in some countries. In most predominantly Sunni countries throughout the Middle East and North Africa -- like Egypt and Morocco -- half or fewer of Sunnis accept Shiites as fellow Muslims.
But in nations where large populations of Sunnis and Shiites live side by side -- like Iraq and Lebanon -- majorities of Sunnis recognize Shiites as fellow Muslims. Outside of this area, sectarian affiliation doesn't matter as much; one in four Muslims polled do not identify as Sunni or Shiite.
The report also found a striking difference between Muslims worldwide and U.S. Muslims. Basic practices like daily prayer and weekly mosque attendance, as well as the importance of religion in daily life, were lower for American Muslims.
Americans also showed a greater acceptance of denominational differences. Whereas 63 percent of Muslims worldwide believe Islam has only one interpretation, only 37 percent of American Muslims believe this.

(CNSNews.com) - Opponents of same-sex marriage call it an unexpected and remarkable move: The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has agreed to hear oral arguments on a request to block the ruling that legalized same-sex marriage in the commonwealth.
Same-sex couples have been permitted to legally marry in Massachusetts since May 17, 2004, as a result of the Supreme Judicial Court's Goodridge v. Department of Public Health decision.
The Thomas More Center, one of the groups that is appealing that ruling, said it is "extremely pleased" that the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court has agreed to hear oral arguments in the case. The Law Center calls this the last legal action that would be capable of stopping same-sex marriage in Massachusetts.
"This last election has shown that the people of this county do not want so-called same-sex marriage and have overwhelmingly supported constitutional amendments to ban it," said Robert Muise, the attorney who is handling the case for the Law Center.
"The citizens of Massachusetts have a constitutional right to be heard on this issue, and now they will have that opportunity."
The Thomas More Center and other groups filed the appeal on behalf of C. Joseph Doyle, the executive director of the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts.
On April 20, 2004, the Law Center petitioned a single justice to put the Goodridge decision on hold, until Massachusetts lawmakers could amend the state's constitution to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
That petition -- and a request for an expedited appeal -- were denied; but the full court ultimately decided that Doyle's appeal could "proceed in the ordinary course," thus keeping the case alive.
The Massachusetts Supreme Court just announced that it has agreed to hear Doyle's appeal.
The Law Center argued in its brief that "what happens with the legal institution of marriage should ultimately depend on the democratic processes outlined in the Commonwealth's Constitution rather than by judicial fiat."
"The fact that the Massachusetts Supreme Court has decided to take up this issue again is remarkable," said Richard Thompson, the Law Center's president and chief counsel. "Clearly, the tide is changing in America -- moral values do matter," he added.
The Thomas More Law Center describes its mission as defending and promoting the religious freedom of Christians, time-honored family values, and the sanctity of human life through education, litigation, and related activities.

An Elite Education (& Worldview)
Many of these same individuals make fun of reenactors, SCV members, amateur and local historians, those proud of their Southern heritage, and anyone else who has anything other than a purely academic interest in the Civil War--or who--God forbid--happens to disagree with their interpretation of events. They impugn and insult them at every opportunity. They stereotype, condescend, assume motives, misquote, misunderstand, misinterpret, they contradict their own statements and, yes, they lie. They demonize the South in one sentence and deny they're doing it in the next, while all the time claiming "scholarly objectivity." They write of the South's burden regarding the slavery issue while ignoring the North's and then become defensive if anyone calls them on it, claiming it's irrelevant. And they write (poorly) boring books and commentary that not even Mensa members could make sense of, thinking that using 20 words, when 10 would suffice, makes them sound smarter.
They've convinced themselves that their "scholarship" and pronouncements are original and that no one else has ever considered their angle. They enviously criticize popular styles of historical narrative (i.e. David McCullough) that far outsells anything they could ever produce. They become especially condescending and emotional when anyone (even credentialed historians) challenges their politically correct orthodoxy. That's when the ad hominen attacks begin - the last refuge of those who can't answer an argument.
And then they wonder why they have so little influence among the general public and those who study the conflict casually, as a hobby, or as "entertainment" - to use their word. They believe that their "profession" is on the same level as a brain surgeon's and only they have the "sophistication," training, and intelligence to research, read, study and come to conclusions and interpret for the great unwashed masses. "How dare anyone challenge us!" How laughable. (Many of these same elitists do not, themselves, possess advanced degrees in history, but they do subscribe to the orthodoxy. That's what's important.)
Their self absorption and arrogance is so unappealing, but they do so enjoy talking to themselves.
And thus concludes this week's rant.

Interesting post for July 21, considering the significance of the date in context with a major event of the war.
Nonetheless, I agree with you on some things... and don't agree on others.
Yes, there are those who poke fun at all things Confederate, and then there are those who, like myself, are frustrated... not with the people who lived 150 years ago, but with those who live today and give poor representation of the truth... and ALL of the facts in a particular argument. There seems to be a "holier than thou" attitude (not limited to academians or one side of an argument) out there among a select few that inhibits any possibility of an open mind.
That aside, when it comes to academia, you also have to understand the nature of academia. In academia, the Civil War is pretty much played-out. Try applying to a doctoral program while mentioning an interest in focusing on Civil War era studies... in many circles, it might as well be the kiss of death (and perhaps rightfully so, considering the saturation of the field). Those who have taken on the Civil War have to look at the subject from different angles (which isn't so bad really, or else we'd be faced with the same old stories over and over again). Sort of like looking at a Rubics Cube and coming up with new ways to solve the puzzle. Some "new" views are repetitious and end up weeding themselves out. Others are original in their approach and the student ends up sticking out his/her neck in defense of a thesis... and, depending on their ability to argue their point, they either fall or stand and move on to bigger things. And so, the cycle begins. Pretty much academians addressing academians and seeking approval among peers for their innovative viewppoints. So, a little self-absorption is expected from time to time. I think the real test for academians is in platforms such as blogs, when they step out of the conventional academic role and engage those other than academic peers. Of course, that isn't so easy either (and it counts "zip" toward published works to be considered for tenure). Nevertheless (to get back to my point), original work is necessary if one wants to hold the line on Civil War era studies.
As for popular history... depending on the source, there can be good reason to be critical. Yes, they might be raking in the dough, but that doesn't mean that what they are saying is correct. David McCullough (or perhaps his scripts from time to time) have had errors. He might be popular, but I think you would agree that being popular doesn't necessarily mean being correct (no matter how much money they bring in).
Personally, I like to merge a little popular history with academic history... entertainment with true history is possible (though frowned on by some academians).
I think a lot of what you said is true, but also applicable to some people on both sides of historical arguments.
- 22 July, 2008 00:32
I forgot to add... regarding those that you mention who "enjoy talking to themselves." If you mean history bloggers, actually, stats show that people are not only reading posts and rants (to include yours and mine), but when good enough, the same people are returning time and time again to read more. It's convenient history in what I consider to be microwaved portions - quick and just enough to leave somebody hungry for more.

All points well-taken Robert.
"Personally, I like to merge a little popular history with academic history... entertainment with true history is possible (though frowned on by some academians)."
I try to do the same.
"Holier than thou atttitude" (on both sides). Again, I agree.
Thanks for reading and thanks for the thoughtful input.
- 22 July, 2008 08:11
I agree with much of Robert's comments too Richard (as well as yours), but have to add that 'tearing other people down' in the process is what I have a problem with.
Challenging the material, seeking out new perspectives, and pushing the limits are all admirable goals that I can completely support. I also understand the need to find new angles, especially in the academic world.
It is when someone makes it a point to trash other people (who are not taking that course), or do so in order to cover up their own limitations, that I find fault. One historian comes to mind who has built his 'reputation' by taking pot shots at those who do not think they way he does.

Credibility is a big part of the issue. I could add additional comments, but I think my post pretty much sums it up. The piece I linked to was written by an academic who has seen this attitude from the inside.

I agree with some of your initial comments (Richard) about academia and professional history in general. But I would like for us to move away from classifying one group in any particular way and focus on the sources, both primary and secondary. If you have the time and inclination, I would be very interested in your response to my paper on Confederate slaves that is posted on Civil War Memory. I would appreciate it if we could keep the focus on my argument and use of evidence. I don't like stereotypes of academia and I don't care for stereotypes of the SCV---I have friends in both. Let's try to get back to the history

Dear Dr. Carmichael:
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and write. I was hoping someone of your stature from inside academia would comment.
I would be happy to read your post on Confederate slaves and respond. And, yes, I will focus my comments on your argument and use of evidence. I wish others would do the same.
I don't particularly care for the stereotypes either. I, too, have friends in both circles. Please understand I was just responding--in defense--to a recent barrage of attacks against those interested in Southern heritage.
It will be later tonight before I can read your comments and respond. Please be patient.
Thanks again,

The SOPA saga
SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) goes several steps too far in fighting piracy. But the head of NetCoalition, expected to give the industry's side of the story during the hearing Wednesday, was denied a chance to speak.
On Thursday, new media giants Google, Facebook, Zynga, and more put a full page ad in the New York Times to lobby against SOPA. A newspaper ad to protect the Web? Interesting.

Participants will produce handmade paper kites, personalizing them with text and graphics, which form poems or personal statements in the sky that explore ideas of flying, freedom, and community. http://www.nymetroparents.com/2015neweventinfo.cfm?id=159493 Socrates Sculpture Park Socrates Sculpture Park
If you go: Please tell them you saw this event on
Venue Description: In 1986, a coalition of artists and community members led by Mark di Suvero decided to retake an abandoned riverside landfill that was being used as an illegal dumpsite and make it into an open space for art and artists. Since then, Socrates Sculpture Park has become an internationally renowned outdoor museum. It is today the only spot in the New York metropolitan area specifically designed to allow artists the opportunity create and showcase large-scale work in an environment that encourages interaction between artists, artworks, and the public.
Since 2006, the park has been expanding its Community Works Initiative program, which offers employment and job training to area residents, including those of the nearby Astoria projects. Participants learn landscaping and basic horticulture skills as they tend the park gardens. At the end of the program, all participants have new marketable skills and knowledge of the resources and cultural events that the park has available for the community and visitors. Among the events and activities that the park offers are kite flights, fitness programs, workshops, the LIC Bike Parade, Summer Solstice, Makers Market, outdoor cinema, an annual Earth Day event, and the Halloween Harvest Festival. In July and August, there are free summer outdoor art-making workshops with a variety of topics.

Iberian Intrigue Whites Case
Your Iberian Intrigue Whites Case includes
Torre Di Vil Vinho Verde (x3)
Vinho Verde is on a serious hot streak since 2014. This light and refreshing white wine from Portugal is a must-have for almost any occasion. Torre Di Vil Vinho Verde is light pale yellow in color and this refreshing white wine has a nose and palate that shows fresh fruit, such as peach, with hints of orange blossom. There is a streak of minerality that makes for a bracing wine, with a well-balanced acidity and a freshness that carries through to the crisp, clean finish.
Anta da Serra White Wine (x2)
In 2014, Portugal was home to the #1 wine in the world as rated by Wine Spectator Magazine. So it is easy to say that they are on the verge of being a powerhouse of wine quality that rivals premier regions like Napa Valley and Bordeaux, France. Portugal has some unique grapes that, when blended together, produce awesome results. Here is a unique white blend of Roupeiro, Fernao Pires and Arinto grapes. They produce a wine with deliciously fruity and floral aromas that lead into rich, dry flavors of citrus and stone fruit with vibrant acidity and a clean finish.
Porta De Ravessa White Wine Blend (x3)
Porta Da Ravessa is a white blend of Roupeiro, Fernao Pires and Arinto varieties. With these grapes Porta Da Ravessa has fruity and floral aromas that lead into rich, dry flavors citrus and stone fruit with vibrant acidity and a clean finish.
Kepe Bianco (x2)
A fresh tasting white wine, full of tropical fruit notes and flavors like gooseberry and melon, with a rich mouthfeel and a long leisurely finish make this wine absolutely perfect. It will make a beautiful pair for seafood, tapas or vegetarian cuisine. Simply fantastico!
Blume Verdejo (x2)
Rueda is situated in the heart of the Iberian Peninsula, right between the two most famous Spanish wine growing regions of Ribera del Duero and Toro. The high plateau of this region produces long cold winters, short springs, and hot summers, which ensure optimal ripeness for the berries. This perfect climate, combined with modern winemaking techniques, produces bright wines with character. Pale yellow with subtle golden hues, Blume flaunts juicy tangerine, orange peel and white flowers, with a slight hint of fennel to add a touch of sweet aroma. Body is medium and the finish is dry. This stunning Spanish white scored 91 points in the 2014 Ultimate Wine Challenge and a Bronze medal in the Decanter Wine Awards 2014.
