It took very little persuading to make the decision to come to Indonesia. It was a "no brainer" to accept the Yayasan Tempe Foundation's proposal to present a paper on "The State of the North American Tempe Market" at their International Tempe Symposium in Bali. After all, I have been making tempeh professionally for 18 years at Turtle Island Foods (now the second largest tempeh producer in the United States). For years, we had listened to the stories of tempeh-making in the motherland from our loyal Indonesian customers. It was past time to see it first-hand.
There was a taste of irony that the Symposium was held at the 5-star Kartika Plaza Hotel of Kuta Beach on Bali. Kuta Beach, and Bali in general, are not the most fertile havens for tempe makers or consumers in Indonesia. Indonesia-the fifth most populous country on earth-is a diverse land of many islands and many cultures. It is said that one sixth of the world's languages are spoken on these islands! Bali has two obvious forces that distinguish it from the rest of Indonesia-its Hindu cultural roots (the rest of Indonesia is predominantly Muslim) and the impact of tourism. With the vast influx of visitors from all over the world, an eclectic blending of cultures and food tastes has occurred. Whereas tempe is made and consumed on Bali, it is much less prevalent and rooted in the culture than it is on Java, the most populous island of the Indonesian archipelago.
While the conference itself was a mostly scientific gathering, it did provide many practical insights into the place of tempe in the Indonesian culture. In the past, then-president Suharto had exhorted his people, "Don't be a tempe nation." By this he meant, grow past the impoverished country lifestyle and become more modern and Western-tempe being a symbol of "poor people's food." At the keynote address of this conference, Mr. Joop Ave, the Indonesian Minister of Telecommuni-cations and Tourism, tried to create a new image for tempe. He told of a recent movement to "Indonesianize" the presidential palace and proudly serve tempe to heads of state as an example of Indonesian ethnic food. He fervently extolled the virtues of eating tempe and tahu (tofu). "The American concept of meat eating is almost offensive," said Mr. Ave. "We need to make it trendy for people to eat tempe." Sadly, the conference turned out to be long on scientific studies and short on marketing research, although there was a rich display of innovative tempe products in an adjoining hall that included: tempe miso from Japan, chicken flavored tempe chips, and tempe breakfast cereal.
Every day we were served a vast buffet lunch from the hotel. Besides the great variety of Indonesian tempe dishes, such as sambal goreng tempe (spicy fried tempe with rice), tempe mendoan (slices of batter-fried tempe), and tempe croquettes, meat was always served as well. It was interesting to note that whereas nearly everyone in Indonesia loves and eats tempe, they are not a particularly vegetarian country. The same scientists that produced the papers on Tempe Consumption Patterns in Indonesia would load up their plates with plenty of beef and chicken, as well as tempe, at lunch.
While in Indonesia, I visited three different sized tempe shops. The
smallest was a little shop in Ubud, Bali which makes about 100 pounds per
day, and the largest was Pak Pedro Sudjono's factory in Yogyakarta, Java,
which makes 5,000 pounds per day! Here are my brief impressions of those
Tempe Ubud
Ubud has long been the artistic center of Bali. Surrounding this mountainous
town are small villages that produce everything from furniture and woodcarvings
to paintings and toys. The country's deep spirituality is omnipresent here,
with many temples and shrines scattered about the hinterlands. Tempe Ubud
is owned and operated by a small family group of four adults and several
small children. Fifty kilos of tempe are made each day in the house that
also serves as the family's living quarters. When we arrived at mid-morning,
a man was cooling the cooked beans by hand in a large bamboo colander placed
on the floor of the front porch. The tempe from the day before was incubating
in small 3"x 3" perforated plastic bags, each of which weighed about 3
ounces. These small cakes were incubated for two days on wooden slats in
a dark room next to the main living area. A bicycle-powered mill, the colander,
an aluminum cooking pot, and a heat sealer were the only pieces of equipment.
The 3-ounce cakes were sold to restaurants and were available in the market
for 150 rupiah (about six US cents).
Tempe Murni
Located in back of an oil depot in the heart of industrial Denpassar sits Tempe Murni. This is a substantial operation, producing 750 kilos of tempe seven days per week, 30 days per month. The proprietors, Mr. Marso, and his wife Pukita, employ 10 young men in this operation. The employees work eight hours per day, 30 days per month, and are paid 100,000 rupiah (about $42 US dollars) each month. This is considered a good job, and several papers wondered what impact the loss of these jobs would have on the Indonesian economy if tempe were to be produced in modern, efficient factories. The soybeans are cooked in delidded 55-gallon drums placed over propane burners. Two sweaty, bare-chested men were skimming the hulls off the beans with plastic colanders.
Two others were cooling and packaging cooked beans in perforated
plastic bags in another room. The beans were piled not on the floor but
on a piece of white canvas. Tempe Murni sells 250 grams of finished tempe
for 400 rupiah (16 US cents) to their distributors who sell it in the market
for 500 rupiah (21 US cents). It is interesting to note that in Indonesia,
tempe is viewed as "poor people's food" and is largely purchased as inexpensive
protein. Yet in the United States at $1.89 per 8-ounce pack, tempeh is
seen as being "natural" food and relatively expensive compared to, say,
ground meat at $1.69 per pound. Yet when one compares the cost of tempe
in Indonesia and the US to the per capita income of their respective countries
($540 USD and $23,000 USD) a cake of tempe is actually more than four times
"cheaper" in the United States!
Pak Pedro Sudjono's Tempe
Yogyakarta has always been viewed as the cultural capital of Indonesia. It is also, I learned at the Symposium, the city with the highest per capita consumption of tempe in all of Indonesia. On a weekly basis, the average person in Yogyakarta consumes nearly 200 grams of tempe versus only 75 grams per Balinese citizen. This shows in the local market, which is totally inundated by a large variety of tempe products, both raw cakes and prepared in various sauces. The main supplier of all this is Pak Pedro Sudjono, a local actor, politician, and tempe maker. This innovative plant produces 5,000 pounds of product each day from a 1,500 square foot area. The shop does have a gas-fired boiler and copper kettle for cooking the beans, but everything else is done with the same level of technology witnessed elsewhere (bamboo colanders on the floor for mixing and packaging, etc.). What is unique about this shop is the ingenious barter system that exists here. The main operation is run by a paid staff of 24 people, but the filling is almost all done by local women who sit on the floor and seal the inoculated beans in plastic bags, sometimes melting the plastic by running it near the open flame of a cloth wick stuck into a soda can filled with kerosene! After the bags are sealed, the women pack them up into the cloth sacks the beans came in, load them onto bicycles, and pedal the load home. There they incubate them for several days and, when white and ripe, take them to the local market for sale! It was in Yogyakarta that I noticed small, one-ounce packages of tempe incubated for an extra long time in banana leaves and sold for 25 rupiah (about one US cent!).
Our time in Indonesia ended all too soon, with many places left to explore. Soon after our visit, the Indonesian economy crashed, taking President-for-life Suharto with it. To this day, the challenges that face the Indonesian people are staggering. One thing I know for sure is that somehow throughout all of this upheaval, tempe is still being made in its own funky, time-honored way by some of the hardest working and friendliest people on the planet. The culture that binds the beans together binds the people as well.
Scott Tibbott is CEO of Turtle Island Foods, manufacturer of Tofurky, tempeh, and other products.

CRAIG Dawson is up to speed and could make his Wanderers debut tomorrow, according to Dougie Freedman.
The West Brom defender, who joined the club on a 93-day loan last week, is in contention to challenge Zat Knight and Tim Ream for a starting place against Watford.
But the Wanderers boss reckons the weekend could come too soon for his other new signing, Medo Kamara, who had been on a winter break with his Serbian club FK Partizan.
"Craig has trained with us for the last 10 days really, so he's fine," Freedman said.
"He's definitely in contention to play.
"Medo has been on a winter break, so he's been back in training for 22 days without a game.
"It would be difficult to say whether you could put him straight into the team. And I think he might need that period to settle a little bit."
Keith Andrews remains on the sidelines nursing problems with his thigh and Achilles, and it is thought the Irishman could be missing for a couple more weeks as he tries to rectify the problems.
But Wanderers have no new fitness worries after last weekend's unlucky FA Cup defeat against Everton.
Freedman saw enough in that performance to suggest his tactical approach is starting to be embraced by the players.
And the Scot has high hopes of claiming a third win away from home this season.
"We are moving forward, although results don't suggest it, but I believe strongly that we are," he said.
"On the field, I think it is starting to click.
"In that game I saw that the players were taking on board what I wanted from them, so in that respect we should be looking forward to the game at Watford and the chance to take three points."

In the market for a new handgun, looking for opinions.
Hey everyone!
So I think I went about getting my first guns in a backwards order. I now own a 16" PSA middy AR15 and a Mossberg 500 with an 18.5" barrel, collapsable stock, side saddle shotshell holder and a streamlight tlr-1 mounted on the end with a remote coil to the forend. Both of those I am proud to call my own and yet I do not own a handgun.
I'm not looking for a 1911 for my first handgun. I have shot quite a few at the local range on their $1 handgun rental Wednesday's and have arrows it down to three..... I think....
1.) Smith & Wesson M&P9 FS
2.) Springfield XDM
3.) Glock 17 or 19
I know most of the above have strikingly similar specs and whatnot, I'm having a hard time "pulling the trigger" on any.
The glock has the timeless perfection reputation, but I hear they have an issue with all guns with serial numbers EAAxxxxxx through EZZxxxxxx and they aren't handling the issue too well. The pistol also feels a little funny in my hand, the grip and the angle don't feel quite natural. I'm sure that would work itself out with lots of drills and practice and if it were really heads and shoulders above the rest I would deal with it, but I don't really think the glock has that much more, is any, to offer than the other two.
The springfield XD or XDM. I haven't shot this gun very much, but it seems to have a superb reputation. I'm not sure if I am a fan of the blackstrap safety, but otherwise this gun feels pretty good in my hands. Shoots well.
The S&W M&P9. This is my favorite so far. I don't know why, but this gun seems to really melt in to my hands. It feels by far the most natural, almost like and extension of my arms when I'm shooting. I understand that S&W had a big bomb when they originally released the Sigma and a lot of people were skeptical of the M&P series when it launched. I'm hoping any quirks have worked themselves out by now with the M&P and I am seeing a LOT of my LEO friends who were die hard glock users switching to the M&P for their duty weapon. These guys trust their lives on their guns, and to me seeing such a large number switch to the M&P speaks volumes.
I could use some information of anyone has any comparing the three, calling out any major issues or malfunctions that have been fixed or more importantly ones that haven't been fixed yet, and just some general opinions from those who shoot much more than I do.
(and no, I'm not just asking this to troll or stir some old pot of "here we go again" comparison threads. I want legitimate info, user feedback, and NO CHILDISH BICKERING!!)
M&P 9 would be my choice, I have one and it is accurate and reliable. Triggers on them are not bad and get better as you go.
I love my XDM 9mm. I have had it for a few years now with a few thousand rounds through it with no problems at all. It is more accurate than me and fun to shoot. The reason I chose that over the glock was that it simply felt better in my hand. You can't go wrong with the glock either. I personally like the back strap safety because it ensures I need a good grip on the gun to make it go bang. That is also similar to my every day carry 1911.
It sounds like you have it narrowed down to 3 great choices. Go with whichever feels best in your hand.
I'm in the same boat I'm getting my handgun premit in two weeks and consider all 3 guns as possible choices, but leaning towards the glock
G19 or XDM9. Both r great. XDM looks cooler. But I like the glock trigger better. I had an XDM for bout 2 yrs. sold it. Needed money and had too many 9mm's. But I'd buy another if I had the money too. This time it would be the compact 9 or 45.
Great choices. Although I haven't had any experience with the xd, I've read plenty of good things about them. It also doesn't hurt that the xd was rifleman magazine's handgun of the year a couple of years ago.
The m&p is an excellent handgun. IMO the ergos on the m&p can't be beat. As I have big hands I chose to go with the large back strap with mine and it fits perfect. The reliability on my m&p has been 100% and it has eaten anything I've put through it so far without a hiccup. It was actually my first handgun also. I went into the shop having done all my research on the glock and left with the m&p lol! After putting 50 rounds down range with both the glock and the m&p, (both rentals) I was sold on the m&p. The trigger out of the box also feels better IMO.
The glock is a household name for a reason. Its reliability and brilliant simplicity. I own a g22 rtf and like my m&p, seems to eat everything I feed it! As for the ergos, it's not as good as the m&p IMO, but I overcame that by trying to fix another issue. My rtf was I little too aggressive on my hands after putting a couple hundred rounds down range, so I add a hogue rubber grip sleeve with the palm swell. Two birds with one stone! The grips are no longer too aggressive and it now FITS LIKE A GLOVE! The aftermarket fit is definitely on par with the m&p now. Another BIG + for the glock is the aftermarket parts that are available and the ease in which you could modify it yourself. That has to be my favorite part about the glock. The ability to easily mod this firearm to fit you.
I'm sure you can't go wrong with any of these three choices! good luck and congrats on your first handgun purchase!
Truthfully, you would be fine with any of your choices.
I have an XD and it's a quality pistol.
The S&W M&Ps are developing a very good reputation and are making inroads into the LE market. If I were in the market for a polymer pistol, I would give them serious consideration.
Nothing wrong with Glocks. I simply don't think they are particularly special. They have earned a solid reputation for reliability over a number of years. IMHO, the others have closed the gap to the point that it is a matter of personal preference. The Cult of Glock fanboys have pretty much turned me off to to any chance of ever buying one, but then I get contrarian some times just to spite people. But it's not the gun's fault.
You have already eliminated the Glock because it does not feel right in your hand. Glocks dont fit me well either. I have an XD and it is a good pistol. I have handled the M&P and I would choose it over the XD based on feel. As you stated it melts into your hand. A pistol has to point naturally and feel comfortable in the hand. You will be more accurate and have less felt recoil with a well fitting pistol.
Todd, i own a SA XDm40, so i could be biased on it as an option! but you have already made your choice, whether you know it or not. the M & P! if this one just feels right and natural in it's way it fits your hand, then that's the one to go with. because how a pistol fits your grip, will be a large factor in how well you can control recoil, which in turn will factor in as to how accurate you can shoot it. any of the three choices would be a good first pistol, but the one that fits the best would be my suggestion and choice. i have shot many Glocks, but have never owned one, but with their excellent reputation for reliability, they would for me always be an option. the M & P, haven't had the chance to hold or shoot one yet, as they seem pretty scarce in my area, but i am reading very good reviews and reports about them, enough that i would possibly take a chance with one, if it felt right in my hand. the XDm, well i am pleased with mine so far, that definately another one in a different caliber would be considered. just my thoughts, and good luck with your choice.
They're all fine guns.
I prefer the XDm. I like the addition of the grip safety, and don't even notice it when I'm shooting. XDms are a bit heavier than Glocks, which is about the only diss I can think of.
Pick each up, let your hand tell you what it likes best. Then consider the features (weight, safeties/controls, etc) that matter to you. That'll pretty well point you in the right direction.
I can't think of any legitimate reason to discourage you from buying any of the three models.

Spanish Chopped Summer Salad
This salad appears in endless variations around the Mediterranean. If you replace the ham and hard-cooked eggs with feta cheese and marinated sardines or anchovies, you have the Turkish version.
Slideshow: Terrific Green Salads
- Servings: 6
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 serrano chile, minced
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 large tomatoes (about 2 pounds)—peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
- 2 medium cucumbers—peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
- 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
- 1 small red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
- 1 small green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
- 1 pound romaine hearts, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped mint
- 1 cup oil-cured black olives (about 1/4 pound), halved and pitted
- 1/2 cup finely chopped baked ham or Serrano ham (1/4 pound)
- 2 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and coarsely chopped
How to make this recipe
In a small bowl, combine the vinegar with the lemon juice, garlic and chile. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper to make a dressing.
In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes with the cucumbers, onion, bell peppers, romaine, parsley and mint. Add the dressing, season with salt and pepper and toss gently. Transfer the salad to a large platter and scatter the olives, ham and chopped eggs on top. Serve immediately.
Suggested Pairing
A tangy white with bite and some oak will match the bold flavors of this salad. A traditional Spanish white, such as one from Rioja or Penedès is the best choice.

Es war sauber. Der Preis war unverschämt. Die Lage so lala und eher laut. Parken und Frühstück teuer.
Room was extremely small compared the price if the room.
The valet parking service was too expensive and too slow.
I like the fact that the hotel was closed to everything that we needed from restaurants, bars and drugstores. The hotel staff were very friendly from the valet attendant to the front desk. Our flight got delayed and they were able to accommodate our check-in time. We understand that parking is an issued around the city but we thought it was expensive for the hotel to charge $45 for valet parking and there are a lot of homeless people walking around. I wouldn't walk around the city by yourself at night.
Staff was great took care of us and where on point which all the little details Needed more shampoo and conditioner!!...fit under my boob
Not safe !!! Had to park down 2 blocks in parking garage !!! No hotel parking like listing said !!! No deals like we were PROMISED FROM KYACK !!! You could tell our ROOM WASNT CLEAN...THERE WERE USED TOWELS EVERYWHERE AND WHEN WE CALLED TO COMPLAIN ALL THEY SAID WAS HUH THATS STRANGE !!!! Lame not worth it if your looking to go to a show and dont want to worry about your stuff...THEN DONT STAY HERE !!!! I work at hotels and this was by far one of our worst experince !!!
I loved the room and the space in the room. When I walked through the hallway it smelled so good....awesome experience!
Good for folks looking for a quick and quiet stay. The 'breakfast' left much to be desired.
Very comfortable room and bed, friendly staff, good location near The Fox Theatre and lots of bars and restaurants. No hot water to speak of, wifi only worked for about 5 minutes.
The price was great. There was quite a bit of cleanser left in the shower, but it was clean!
Location Breakfast was weak
-elevator felt a little sketchy; needs some maintenance
Having driven up from LA, we arrived just after midnight. We called 2-3 hours away to let the concierge know.. the guy hung up on us. Luckily, he had left by the time we got there... Thomas, the night concierge, was awesome and extremely helpful! The next evening, we had some late night troubles with getting a taxi. I question of this "new" guy actually called... we waited for a long time. However, I really enjoyed having a 24- hour concierge... thanks for that. It's a "boutique" hotel... hence the room was tiny. HOWEVER, We slept well, the room was well laid out for being so small, and has all the fixins' of a regular hotel. Parking was across the street at the Convention center, but for a reduced rate. In the AM there was a continental breakfast, which was a nice spread. This hotel was right smack in the middle of downtown Oakland, on the border of ChinaTown. Which was great because "Fortune" Chinese is open late and 2-3 blocks away and delish! The area is very walkable, with stores and bars and restaurants nearby. See above...
Perfect location. Went to a concert at the fox theater and right downtown. Parking is easy, even on the street is fine. Very safe, Oakland just has a bad rep
Location was ideal for business, food & nightlife in downtown Oakland. 2 blocks from BART. Rooms are nicely updated while still maintaining old-school charm. Rooms are a bit snug and sink is in bathroom but c'mon people this building is 100+ years old. You're clearly not at a Courtyard Marriott, embrace the history. Surprisingly good water pressure for an older building. I stayed on second floor above the entrance and there was a ton of street noise that woke me up in the morning--trash pickup at 5 AM, loud truck running and pallet unloading for Smart & Final next door at 6 AM. Not really hotel's fault but something to be aware of--choose a higher/rear facing room or bring a loud fan. It was nice they provided it but breakfast was bare minimum. Staff was friendly but staff rushed through check-in as quick as possible. Shampoo but no conditioner in bathroom.
Strange experience altogether. Checkin gentleman was a little uncomfortably flirtatious while the morning staff person at checkout was unfriendly and curt. Elevator out of service and was only offered a free cancellation verses a discount. Incredibly noisy room, awkward layout. At $170 with tax, definitely not worth the overall experience. Would not recommend ot stay at again.
Location / Distance to City Center was great. The room was a bit small.
Very clean, comfortable accommodations. Great central downtown location for business. Nice hot breakfast included. Good value.
Close to downtown Oakland within walking distance of the Fox theater. Arrived late at 5:30 for our 3:00 reservation and the room was not ready. There were 5 other parties in the same situation. The receptionist didn't ask our name or gather any info from us (or anyone else in the waiting room) when we arrived. We were asked to sit and wait behind the people that arrived before us. After 30 minutes nobody waiting had been taken care of so we went up and told them we had a reservation and gave our name. We were given the same answer. We went to a nearby restaurant and came back an hour later...then our room was ready. They clearly needed a more caring/knowledgeable person working the front desk.

Beijing: Foreign Direct Investment to China surged to USD 9.41 billion in July registering 24.13 percent year on year increase, as the country continues to have robust growth in investment from abroad despite economic slowdown.
At the same China's Outbound Direct Investment (ODI) crossed USD 50 billion mark in the first six months registering a 20 per cent increase.
China attracted USD 9.41 billion in FDI in July which amounted to USD 71.39 billion in the first seven months up 7.09 percent from the same period last year, the Commerce Ministry said here today.
The data does not cover incoming investments in banking, securities and insurance sectors.
The service sector saw a steady increase of FDI inflows in the first seven months, up 15.78 percent year on year and accounting for 49.93 percent of the total FDI inflow during the period, state-run Xinhua reported.
FDI in China's manufacturing sector dropped 2.42 percent, taking a 41.18 percent share of the inflow, the ministry said.
Investment from the US rose 11.44 percent to USD 2.18 billion during the January-July period, while investment from the European Union grew 16.72 percent to US 4.64 billion.
Meanwhile, Chinese investment in overseas non-financial sectors rose 20 percent year on year to USD 50.6 billion in the first seven months, the ministry said.
Friday's data came after a string of other economic indicators, from factory output and retail sales to foreign trade, showed the world's second-largest economy may be gradually stabilizing after a protracted slowdown.
Among the latest evidence, HSBC's preliminary reading for China's manufacturing sector showed the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) rose to 50.1 in August, the highest level in four months.

Re: Generalization of Greater to matrices
Hi Herman,
at first You need a matrix norm, i.e a positive semidefined function
that map a Matrix onto positive real numbers. One common definition may
MatrixNorm[m_?MatrixQ] := Abs[Det[m]]
since a determinat is a expensive operation it is better to calculate
the value
one and to store the results:
MatrixSort[mtab_]:= First /@ Sort[{#, MatrixNorm[#]} & /@ mtab, Last[#1]
> Last[#2] &]
The result is the sorted list of matrices.
Hope that helps

Mahershala Ali is a big winner tonight.
During the 2017 SAG Awards, the Hollywood star walked away with the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role.
While on stage at the Shrine Auditorium, the actor revealed what he learned from working on Moonlight.
"What I've learned from working on Moonlight is we see what happens when you persecute people. They fold into themselves," he shared with the audience. "And what I was so grateful about in having the opportunity to play Juan was playing a gentleman who saw a young man folding into himself as a result of the persecution of his community."
Kevin Winter/Getty Images
He continued, "Taking that opportunity to uplift him and tell him that he mattered and that he was okay and accept him and I hope that we do a better job of that."
The actor was up against a talented group of stars including Jeff Bridges, Hugh Grant, Lucas Hedges and Dev Patel.
But before walking off stage, Mahershala couldn't help but give credit to all of the talented co-stars he worked with in the past year.
"I want to thank Tarell Alvin McCraney for his courage. I want to thank Barry Jenkins just for your insight and brilliant," he shared. "I want to thank my fellow cast mates. Any one of those young men could be up here holding this. It's beautiful work. Thank you. Peace and blessings be upon you."

There are many good lines in the Ken Clark interview: privatising Royal Mail, dismantling BIS, his fitness regime, his admiration for Mandelson and so on. There were also some striking remarks on the timing of a spending review that are worth highlighting.
Clarke basically argues that it would be senseless to conduct a spending review debate in the run up to an election. I'm not sure it is quite Tory policy, but he makes some interesting points. Read more

SYDNEY — A 27-year-old Glace Bay woman who admitted to stealing $110,000 from her grandparents was sentenced Thursday to a two-year less a day conditional sentence followed by a one-year probation period.
Jillian Maureen Cameron of West Street sobbed throughout the hearing as provincial court Judge David Ryan reviewed some of the facts in the case and appeared to wrestle with whether to send the woman to jail or not.
"I have to say that this is one of the most difficult sentencing decisions I've had to deal with," said Ryan, who has issued thousands of sentencing orders in more than 15 years on the bench.
He said while Cameron betrayed her grandparents in stealing their life savings, they remain committed to the woman they helped raise as a child.
"Your grandparents have shown a great generosity of spirit in their unreserved love for you," said Ryan, while urging Cameron to recognize she has a lot of work to do to improving her life circumstances.
"You have tried to deal with some significant issues on your own and you need to start addressing those problems and start making better decisions," said the judge.
Cameron pleaded guilty to unlawfully being in a dwelling with the intent to commit theft. The offence occurred between June and July 2012 at a residence in Glace Bay.
Prosecutor Glen Gouthro previously told the court the grandparents called police in July 2012 after discovering $110,000 was missing from a home safe. The couple no longer keep such vast sums in the home.
Police recovered about $32,000 of the missing money, which was found under a floorboard in Cameron's home that she at one time shared with her partner Scott Carl Anda and their child. Anda has pleaded guilty to break and enter and will now be sentenced March 18.
The remaining $77,000 is believed to have been spent over a three-month period on such things as a secondhand above ground swimming pool, a motor bike, clothes, a bed and minor repairs to their home.
Gouthro suggested the larger portion of the cash went toward the purchase of drugs.
Ryan said had Cameron initially admitted to the theft when first contacted by police, it is likely more of the money may have been recovered.
Defence lawyer James Snow also previously noted that Cameron is making a bid to turn her life around and that during the past 15 months while on release conditions, no breaches have been recorded.
Cameron is dealing with a prescription pill addiction along with some mental health issues in addition to trying to be mother to a young daughter.
Ryan warned Cameron that any breach of the conditional sentence will likely result in her being jailed. Such sentences allow offenders to serve their time in the community.
During the sentence, Cameron is to adhere to a 24/7 curfew with exceptions of medical and legal appointments, education, employment and counselling appointments which all have to be pre-approved by her sentencing supervisor.
She is not allowed to consume alcohol or attend where it served. She is also to refrain from all drugs excepted those prescribed. She is not allowed to associate with anyone with a criminal record including the father of her child unless dealing with access or visitation.
Although noting Cameron is unlikely to ever have the resources to repay her grandparents, Ryan did order a restitution order for $77,000.

No. 12 Oregon 30, Texas 7: Marcus Mariota passed for 253 yards and a touchdown and added 133 yards on the ground as the Ducks spoiled coach Mack Brown's swan song with the Longhorns in the Valero Alamo Bowl in San Antonio.
Avery Patterson and Derrick Malone each returned Case McCoy interceptions for touchdowns for Oregon (11-2), which held the Longhorns to 236 total yards. Josh Huff caught five passes for 104 yards and a touchdown for the Ducks.
Malcolm Brown rushed for 130 yards on 26 carries for Texas (8-5), but the Longhorns couldn't get anything going in the passing game. McCoy finished 8-of-17 for 48 yards with the two interceptions and freshman Tyrone Swoopes was 1-of-6 for 8 yards.
The Longhorns did a decent job of slowing down Oregon's high-powered offense, but the Ducks' defense won the day. Patterson picked off McCoy and went 37 yards to open the scoring, and Malone returned an interception 38 yards for a TD to cap the night.
McCoy's 1-yard TD run capped a 79-yard drive and pulled the Longhorns within 10-7 late in the first quarter, but it was all Ducks from there. Mariota's 16-yard strike to Huff gave Oregon a 20-7 halftime lead and Texas was shut out in the second half.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Oregon K Matt Wogan made field goals of 25, 32 and 39 yards and missed from 32 yards. … Mariota briefly surpassed his career high of 135 rushing yards before taking a sack that dropped him two yards below the mark. … Brown finished with a 158-48 record in 16 seasons at Texas.

RE: Rep. JC Planas and his urging Speaker Sansom to resign

We want to support Rep. Planas' position and applaud his statesmanly published concerns. Rep. Planas is to be congratulated for his stance that politics must take a back seat for the good of the State of Florida. How often have you heard that lately from the majority Leadership in the Florida legislature.

As a nonpartisan, nonsexist,single-issue organization, ERA Inc. is proud to be associated with Rep. Planas as Sponsor of the House Equal Rights Amendment ratification bill, HCR 8003 (SCR 1008, filed by Senator Joyner).

ERA barely missed passing by 3 states; just needs 3 more ratifications to pass into the US Constitution. Not DEAD, not about same-sex nor abortion, which it does not regulate, ERA benefits men as well as women and the economy. We honor legisators such as these two who implement the fundamental moral American value of equality for all regardless of gender. Not all do. Ask them.

Coach Weis embraces football challenges at Kansas
Leave it to first-year Kansas coach Charlie Weis to find a silver lining in his team's 1-10 record.
Weis, the former coach at Notre Dame who recruited several key players on this year's national championship contender, is taking a long-term approach to rebuilding the Jayhawks.
Kansas, which visits West Virginia at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, hasn't had a winning season since 2008. The Jayhawks, losers of 20 consecutive Big 12 games, won five games in their two previous seasons, and they are the only conference member that isn't bowl eligible this year.
Weis, however, remains undaunted and resolute about the task at hand.
"Until you start winning more football games, even the biggest fan is going to have to be a bit skeptical and understandably so," said Weis, a longtime NFL assistant who has a 36-37 career record as a college coach. "I love when people say, 'Why did you take this job?' Well, I didn't take the job to go 1-10. I took it because I felt this would be a challenge, taking this team and turning it from a program at the bottom to back to not only respectability but being a perennial winning football team."
Despite losing 10 straight games following a season-opening win over South Dakota State, there have been bright spots, including the emergence of a running game — second-best in the Big 12 — and near-misses against Oklahoma State (20-14), Texas (20-17) and Texas Tech (41-34 in two OTs).
Weis understands that in any rebuilding process it's important to remain positive.
"Tell me a team in the league that runs the ball better than us. I don't know if there is one," he said. "At the beginning of the year, I couldn't have said that. Now all of a sudden you have this rushing attack. You've got the same runners back next year. You fix your passing game. You could see from my standpoint, I'm drooling to get to the offseason."
West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen paid homage to Weis — known for his success with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady — as well as defensive coordinator Dave Campo, former coach of the Dallas Cowboys.
"We're going to be at a major schematic disadvantage going against their coaches," Holgorsen said. "They've got coaches with tremendous pedigree that coached everybody in the world for decades."
Asked about recruiting players to Kansas, Weis waxed philosophical.
"What's not to like about Kansas? What's not to like about the facility? And if you want to play, a team that has a record that is deficient is one that opens your eyes," he said. "And you want to know something, they're interested.
"What's missing is we're not winning enough games. And there will be plenty of people saying no. And for those people, the No. 1 reason they say no is because there's a stigma that's attached when a team's losing.
"So our job is to remove that stigma."

Joe Root to captain team of rivals in England Lions match against New Zealand
If Joe Root were not already a certainty for the first England Test squad of the summer after his match-winning innings of 182 for Yorkshire on Saturday, the announcement today that he will captain the England Lions against New Zealand next week emphasised how highly the selectors rate the 22-year-old.
Root made his Test debut before Christmas, making 73 from 229 balls against India in Nagpur, but had a frustrating couple of Tests in New Zealand in March before making 45 and 29 in the third Test in Auckland.
With Kevin Pietersen missing the first part of the international summer with a knee injury, Root will surely retain his place in the Test side. The rest of the strong Lions batting order for the four-day…

INDIANAPOLIS – Katie Ledecky took on the most grueling challenge of her swimming career and won three times.
The Maryland swimmer pulled away in the women's 1,500-meter freestyle final Saturday, winning in 15 minutes, 47.15 seconds, posting the fourth-fastest time in world history and shattering one of the oldest long-course championship records in the American book.
Janet Evans of Placentia set the previous mark in March 1988 when she finished in 15:52.10. Twenty-five years, 2 months, 3 days later, Ledecky cut that time by nearly 5 seconds to win another U.S. national title and give herself a chance to become the first American woman to swim the four longest freestyle events at a world championship.
"I'm very happy with that time and it's a good way to finish the meet," she said.
Ledecky won national championships in the three longest events — the 400, 800 and 1,500 free — in astoundingly easy fashion.
Saturday, she was under world-record pace for the first 600. Though she faded over the final 900, she still broke Evans' mark and produced the world's fastest time of the year just one day after Jazmin Carlin of Britain went 15:47.26. Chloe Sutton was second in 16:07.75, an astounding 20.6 seconds behind.
Ledecky's strong showing was just one chapter of a remarkable night.
Natalie Coughlin, 30, the three-time Olympian, barely won the 50 free title over a rising star nearly half her age.
Coughlin finished in 24.97 seconds. Simone Manuel, 16, was second in 25.01 seconds, breaking the national age-group record for the second time in one day — a record Missy Franklin had held.
Nathan Adrian started the week by winning the 100 free and ended it by taking the men's 50 free title in a race that featured five Olympians.
The other feature attraction was Ryan Lochte, the world-record holder in the 200 individual medley. He was just 0.12 of a second off that pace after 150 meters but faded and settled for his third win of the week in 1:55.44.
With Franklin pulling out of the 200 IM, Caitlin Leverenz captured her first title of the week in 2:10.13.

Segarelli wins clincher as Florida State advances in ACC with upset of Clemson
CARY, N.C. -- In a match that saw more than five hours of grueling tennis, Florida State shocked No.11 Clemson with a 4-3 upset in the quarterfinals of the ACC Championships. With the win, the Seminoles (15-7) grabbed their ninth all-time victory against the Tigers and first since 2001.
"[Friday] was a total team effort," Florida State head coach Jennifer Hyde said. "Championships like this require you to show up for four straight days and we've played two very solid days of tennis. Everyone has done a great job of taking care of their courts."
The deciding dual of the match was on Court 2 between Francesca Segarelli (No. 96) and Liz Jeukeng (No. 26).
After dropping the first set in a tiebreak, Segarelli quickly fell behind 3-0 in the second. Settling in, Segarelli used her serve to chip into her deficit before taking over the lead at 5-4. Segarelli forced a third set after she defended her serve.
In the third, Segarelli looked as if she was going to put away the match quickly after jumping out to a 3-0 lead, but Jeukeng broke two big serves to tie the set at 3.
On serve, Segarelli was forced into a deuce to decide the point. With the advantage, Segarelli maneuvered during the rally in order to get Jeukeng to lob a short shot in the middle of the court. Segarelli forcefully put the point away with a swing down the middle, going up 4-3.
"[Friday] I was really confident," Segarelli said. "I was down 4-1 in the second set and I was worried a little bit, but then all of a sudden it clicked. I didn't think about anything, my game kept coming and it came to a point in the third set I thought I was playing well and if she was going to beat me, she would have to work."
Jeukeng would tie the dual again at 4 after her serve before Segarelli went back up 5-4 after holding hers.
Segarelli broke serve, taking the match 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, advancing the Seminoles into their fifth ACC semifinal in six seasons.
"For Fran to clinch the match as a senior and for Amy [Sargeant] to play with such dominance is so storybook for them," Hyde said. "She played a very good freshman player who has had a ton of success this season. Fran wanted that day [Friday]. We've never beat Clemson and now that monkey is off our back."
"It's a feeling you can't even describe," Segarelli said. "I did it for the girls, but I knew that Coach Hyde has never beat Clemson in her career and that motivated me. I wanted to give her that as a present before I left and God gave me the opportunity to be the last one on court and I was able to do it. It was amazing."
Starting off the day with doubles, Segarelli and Daneika Borthwick dropped their match on Court 1 to Yana Koroleva and Beatrice Gumulya 8-2.
On Court 2, Mia Vriens and Amy Sargeant got out to a commanding 6-1 lead over Romy Koelzer and Tristen Dewar, but the Tigers battled back to tie the match at 7. Vriens and Sargeant buckled down and closed out the last two games, winning by a score of 9-7, leaving the deciding match to Court 3.
"Mia and Amy did a great job of jumping out to a big lead," Hyde said. "They had a little bit of a mental lapse on their court, but they stepped up and got it done."
Kristina Schleich and Kerrie Cartwright went down a break early at 4-2 and teetered back and forth for most of the match. After Cartwright served to pull within one at 7-6, the Seminoles found their break at the right time to knot the dual at 7. On serve, Schleich put the pair up 8-7, but they could not close out the match as the Clemson team of Ani Miao and Jeukeng forced a tiebreak.
Cartwright and Schleich pulled away in the tiebreak 7-2, stealing the doubles point for the Seminoles.
"It was great getting that doubles point," Hyde said. "The entire match at Number 3, we did a phenomenal job of hanging in there and we found a way to get a big break. That was tremendous effort by Kristina and Kerrie."
Moving on to singles, Sargeant made it 2-0 after dominating on victory on Court 4. She earned her 27th win on the year against Miao, 6-2, 6-1.
"Amy was awesome," Hyde said. "She got that second point so quickly for us. She played controlled and solid tennis."
Within the matter of minutes, Clemson tied the match at 2 with a pair of wins from Courts 1 and 3.
After dropping the first set 6-1, Borthwick (No. 57) fought back in the second to win a close 6-4 decision against Koroleva (No. 15). However, Koroleva pulled through in the third defeating Borthwick 6-1, 4-6, 6-1.
On Court 3, Vriens fell in a tiebreak in the first before Gumulaya (No. 38) took the second and the match 7-6, 6-3.
Clemson went ahead 3-2 after Cartwright lost on Court 5. She fell to Koelzar in a grueling, 7-6, 7-5 battle.
With duals on Courts 2 and 6 left in play, the Seminoles captured a pair of second-set victories in order to propel them into decisive third sets.
On Court 6, Schleich fell into a 5-0 early hole before losing the first 6-1. Reloading at the break, Schleich got out in front in the second, holding on to a break before Dewar tied the match at 5. Schleich outlasted Dewar in the second, taking it 7-5.
In the third, Schleich wore down Dewar and tied the match at 3 with a 1-6, 7-5, 6-2 win.
"Kristina got down big early," Hyde said. "But she turned it around in the second set and committed herself to playing solid tennis. She's hitting the ball so well right now and she's working the court perfectly and playing her game. The way she was able to dig her way out and fight in her match was impressive.
"I'm so proud of our effort. They left everything out on the court [Friday]. At an event like this, that's the only way you're going to win. We're going to enjoy this one, but we're going to have to do it again all over against a very good Virginia team [Saturday]."
After knocking out the No. 2-seeded team in the tournament, Florida State will play third-seeded Virginia at 1 p.m. ET Saturday. The Seminoles fell 4-0 to the Cavaliers exactly one week ago.

Goodbye, Hogwarts: Rupert Grint's Bare Ass Now Visible In "CBGB" Clip
Legendary NYC punk venue CBGB shuttered in 2006 after 36 years of business, but its legacy lives on — in stories, in memories, in music, and in the form of Ron Weasley's bare exposed ass. That's right: Rupert Grint plays Cheetah Chrome, one fifth of the first-wave punk band the Dead Boys, in the upcoming "CBGB" film, which hits theaters October 11. The general consensus around the Frisky office at the moment is that Rupert is one of the few gingers we are not hot for, but I kind of disagree. I always had a thing for Ron, you know? If you, like me, have been waiting years to get a glimpse of the old Weasley backside, now's your chance! [MTV]

Re: [gamesmonitor] Helipads for Stratford ? / Availability of Border Agency staff

I've just come across the February 2010 Atkins report for DfT on
"Air Traffic Review and Airport Capacity Assessment Associated with the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics"
A couple of snippets :
The business aviation clients visiting the UK will expect to be able to transfer directly from their arrival airport by helicopter to a venue close to the Olympic Games or central London; due to the distance between their arrival airport and the Olympic Park and time that would be required to make a road or rail based transfer.
A number of airports identified their concern with the apparent lack of helicopter facilities being provided close to Stratford to support the 2012 Games. In relation to this a number of parties are investigating opportunities to provide additional helipad capacity close to the 2012 Olympic Park.
Airports were keen to understand the wider preparations being made by the Government and in particular the UK Border Agency (UKBA) in relation to the additional demand generated by the Olympics. In particular those airports that operate on a ―Certificate of
Agreement‖ basis wanted to be re-assured that sufficient UKBA staff would be available to process the expected up turn in flights.

Soup cans and pop art and cubism, oh my!
