City Farmer Nursery in Southeast San Diego is world unto itself.
A glance from the street reveals only a small storefront with a big sign. But open the door and, like Harry Potter's magically modified Ford Anglia, the nursery is bigger on the inside than its boundaries can possible reveal.
City Farmer's five-acre grounds are an urban farmer's paradise. Step through the gate and it is impossible to know where to look first—at the turtles in the pond-building area, at the towering bamboo, at the chickens and turkey strutting in the hen house, or at the patio with supplies for small-scale raised bed vegetable gardening. A small café with fresh-made food sits to the right, a place to rest and renew tired legs. Abundant, chaotic and blossoming, the entire nursery is a place that exudes health.
Bill Tall, the suspender-clad, cheerful and robust proprietor of City Farmer, stands behind the old-fashioned wooden counter of the nursery's store. The walls burst with everything from beekeeping and chicken keeping supplies to bulk herb seeds and seed potatoes to tools for growing tiny bonsai trees. He dispenses advice in the manner of a general store proprietor of the 1800s: with a smile, a cautionary tale or two and encouragement.
Humble Roots
Like many of the plants he sells, Tall is a native San Diegan. In 1972, when Tall was 15 and attending Madison High School in Clairemont, he took two classes that would change his life: Business, where he learned to do balance sheets and accounting, and ROP Horticulture. One day, the horticulture teacher said to him, "Why don't you start a nursery?"
With $250 he earned from a job at Sea World, and a small piece of land his father let him use in Southeast San Diego, Tall started City Farmer Nursery. From the start, City Farmer was dedicated to natural, organic gardening.
"I bought a pile of manure from a dairy, a pile of sand from a truck that was passing by, and a pile of wood shavings from a lumberyard," Tall says. "At the end of the school year, I asked if I could have all the plant material from the experimental garden at the school, plus I took anything I could find at home."
Tall repotted the plants in old milk cartons, as plastic pots had not yet been invented, and he avoided chemicals.
"When I started the nursery," Tall says, "I didn't want to set up the paperwork for chemicals, so I decided to run it organically." As a child, Tall also raised chickens in his Clairemont backyard. "I bought 100 baby chicks mail order," Tall says. "At that time, if you gave your neighbors eggs, nobody complained." When he opened City Farmer, he moved the chickens down to the site. "Even if I didn't have time to get to the market," he says, "I always had eggs to eat and fresh vegetables."
Leading a Movement
Today, Bill Tall's City Farmer Nursery is at the cutting edge of the organic food and "locavore" movements, growing food without chemicals and eating food grown close to home. City Farmer, near the intersection of Home Avenue and Euclid off the 805 freeway, has gained notoriety as the place to buy everything related to home gardening and small-scale farming in San Diego.
Much of the variety of City Farmer has come about through the requests of Tall's customers, and Tall's own desire to learn. "You have to keep looking at alternative ways of doing things," Tall says. "In the early '90s, someone came in talking about hydroponics. So we sold pond supplies. That grew into aquaponics, raising fish and food."
In the future, Tall hopes to expand to include a farm stand of organic fruits and vegetables. However his business expands, Tall will make sure it reflects his values. "When you have a business," he says, "it's not just a business if your heart and soul are in it." For Bill Tall, gardening is not just about business, it's about life. "We can make our own world," Tall says. At City Farmer Nursery, Bill Tall's world is beautiful.

Thank you Ank and mimi.
Mimi, that is very strange. I hope it will eventually work for you. I have had that happen a few times, but later when I try, it works.
Great picture!
I have an odd situation. I posted 2 pictures of our Marine and his wife. I can't get the one of him and his wife facing the camera to open. And the same thing with the picture of your father in the plane. It starts to open, then the bar(?) that goes across when the puzzles open just stops moving when it is about a fourth of the way across. I've never had that happen before. Obviously others are able to solve yours, and many have solved mine too. Strange isn't it.
Very beautiful thanks
Thank you Hanne.
Those looks are stunning right now!! Thanks so very much Sandy!
Thank you morris!
Excellent photo, chickie. It is as if I were standing there. Very life like!
Thank you Laura, PLG, lyndee and tex.
lyndee, there is a dry creek bed that runs through the woods. It is full in the Spring, otherwise dry.
Lovely photo. I love it when there's a lot to look at! Thanks.
Great puzzle Chickie. Is that a river I see through the trees?
Love it! Thanks, CM!
Yes, definitely a bright spot! You have a lot going on in this photo...greenery in the foregorund, Bare trees in the middle and fall color in the background, even in the way back!. Very nice shot, chickiemama!

For the first time DU (Delhi University) is offering BMS (Bachelor of Management Studies), a management program offered at the under-graduate level, which has created a lot of curiosity in aspirants.
Courses included under the new program are:
- operations research
- macroeconomics and global environment
- investment and risk management
- accounting for managers and basic econometrics
- principles of marketing management
- corporate strategy
- international trade and finance
This new program aims to create new frontiers of knowledge and standards of achievement to mould responsible, ethical, committed and active managers out of the students, by way of sharpening their latent skills, developing the qualities of leadership in order to influence and change the society as well as the organization in significant, positive and wholesome manner.
The course content of the program is very strong. The courses studied under it will help the students in understanding the various aspects of managing a business. Ample weightage is given to the econometrics aspect in order to strengthen students' foundation for a higher degree in management. An interesting mix of courses from economics, management and commerce are being offered in this program. However, management students will also study the foundation courses in their first 2 years.
Through discipline 1 course, the common aspects of BBE and BBS have been combined while; the variations have been taken care of in the six discipline 2 courses. Therefore, in the 3rd semester, the specializations in investment and financial analysis, etc, will be included.
Colleges offering BMS program this time are:
- Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies
- Keshav Mahavidyalaya
- Deen Dayal Upadhyaya
- College of Vocational Studies
- Bhim Rao Ambedkar College
- Maharaja Agarasen College
Around 840 seats are there for this program and online registration for the same will be available till Monday, June 10.
Quite a few colleges offering business oriented courses at the Bachelor level are unhappy with DU's decision to let only 6 colleges' offer BMS course. Out of the 13 colleges under DU, which used to offer the 3 courses - BBS (Bachelor in Business Studies), BBE (Bachelor in Business Economics) and BFIA (Bachelor in Financial and Investment Analysis), which has been replaced by the new BMS, only about 6 colleges are offering the same and many questions are being raised about the selection criteria of the college.
Teachers from SGGS College of Commerce and SGTB Khalsa, SGND Khalsa, which used to offer one or more of the same courses, have submitted a petition to "reconsider" the selection of colleges at the office of the Dean of colleges, on Thursday, June 6. As per the colleges, they have been successfully running the courses since 2006 and the entire batch was placed not a single student was left unemployed.
The decision of the university authorities might create a problem of managing workload in these colleges, which shall be offering BMS. As per the petition, "While replacing the courses, an understanding was given to all colleges that BMS course shall be given by default to all the 13 colleges, which have been offering BBE, BBS and BFIA course."
The petition also mentioned that, "the seven colleges, despite having a strong faculty base, past performance, excellent placement track record and well-established infrastructure have been denied the introduction of BMS course for unknown reasons. It is disheartening to note that discontinuation of this course will make all the teachers of this course surplus and the specific infrastructure created for this course redundant." After the announcement of the list of colleges, a meeting was held, in which this petition was signed.
University took the decision whimsically and people knowing least about the subject have decided on the same. For SGTB Khalsa, there were about 50 seats for the course, which have been re-distributed.
The university has created a high powered committee to look into the selection of colleges but no public document is there for enumerating the parameters considered. In the meeting of EC (Executive Council), which was held on Friday, June 7, the issues of infrastructure and audit report as well as selection criteria were raised, since the announcement on the list of colleges done before was either discussed by the AC (Academic Council) or EC.
However, the AC has authorized the vice-chancellor for taking the decision while the EC has not.

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation announced Herndon Graddick as its new president this week, following a board vote. He replaces Mike Thompson, the interim president who stepped up in 2011.
Graddick, who has served as GLAAD's Vice President of Programs and Communications since 2010, has supervised quite a few successful endeavors during his time as VP. Most recently, he oversaw the "Stand Up For Ellen" campaign, which defended Ellen DeGeneres' position as JCPenney spokeswoman. He also ran the Commentator Accountability Project, which calls for anti-gay guests to be banned from cable news airwaves.
Graddick will make an official debut as president at Los Angeles' GLAAD Media Awards on April 21.
"I look forward to working with our dedicated staff to create a culture where there is a welcoming and respected space for LGBT Americans," Graddick said in a statement. "GLAAD's work with the media to inspire Americans to speak out against anti-LGBT actions and support equality is needed today more than ever."

Number of Ethiopian Chidren in Special Ed Twice Nat'l Average
The percentage of second-generation Ethiopian immigrants who participate in special-education programs in elementary and high school is nearly double the nationwide figure of 7.5 percent, according to a Central Bureau of Statistics report released yesterday. The findings sparked criticism over the education system's approach to immigrants and charges of cultural bias in diagnostic testing.
The report, which puts the figure for the children of Ethiopian immigrants at 13.8 percent, also shows that the higher the parents' income and the mothers' education level, the less likely their children will be classified as having special needs.
The report found that 8.8 percent of low-income students - those whose parents occupy the bottom two income deciles - participate in special-education programs, while only 4.7 percent of those in the top two deciles study in such programs. And nearly 11 percent of students whose mothers had up to 11 years of schooling were placed in special-education programs, but only 4 percent of those whose mothers had more than 16 years of education were placed in such programs. Michal Shany, director of the Haifa University Clinic for Diagnoses and Research in Learning Disabilities, said the tests used to determine whether a child requires special education are not applicable to all cultures.
"Too many children are identified as 'special needs' because they are being judged with tools that are not appropriate to their culture," she said. "You cannot perform an intelligence test in the context of special education on students from Ethiopian backgrounds because it is culturally biased. On exams that test general knowledge, vocabulary or abstract thought, it is clear these students will get low scores."
Shani called for a new approach.
"The current policy is mistaken, as it does not consider the difference between the basic ability to learn - in which there are no differences between various groups - and knowledge that isn't provided because of cultural conditions," she said. "The solution has to be programs that close gaps, not keeping children inside the special education system."
The 120,000 Israeli students learning in such programs attend three types of educational facilities: special-education schools, special-education classes in regular schools and various "mixed programs" combining regular classwork with special assistance. About 63 percent of special-education students are male.
But the nationwide statistics mask stark differences between various cultural and ethnic groups. Figures for children of immigrants from the former Soviet Union are also higher than the national average, at 8.3 percent.
"For every student who does not act native-born, the school's first judgment is to send him to special education. This is a patronizing approach," said Roni Akala, head of Fidel, a non-profit organization that promotes the education and social integration of Ethiopian immigrants.
"The education system's finger is too light on the trigger," she said. "The Ethiopian community needs investment - not sending [students] to special education, which to a large extent closes off the child's future."

In response to requests from Plumbing Manufacturers Intl. (PMI) and its members, as well as from other supporters of the U.S....
Related search terms from www.waterinfolink.com: AB 1366, salinity, softeners
Assembly Bill (AB) 1366 passed California's legislature in October. WQP Managing Editor Rebecca Wilhelm spoke with David Loveday, director of government affairs and communications for the Water Quality Association (WQA), and Pete Conaty, California legislative advocate for the WQA and Pacific Water Quality Association, to see what this means for the future of the water treatment industry in California and across the nation.
Rebecca Wilhelm: Please tell us what is the AB 1366.
Pete Conaty: Basically, it is a bill to allow local agencies more control over the discharge caused by self-regenerating home water softeners.
David Loveday: Last year, there was AB 2270, which was a much stronger bill than this one, but the governor vetoed it. This bill and last year's bill passed both chambers with overwhelming numbers, so there was widespread support within the legislature. AB 2270 was statewide, but the governor felt strongly that it should only be in the areas with the most need to control salinity. They picked five regional boards.
Wilhelm: What regions are affected?
Conaty: Affected areas include the coastal areas from San Jose south, all the way to San Diego, and the central valley for the most part, south of Sacramento, down through Bakersfield.
Wilhelm: Could you describe the timeline of this bill's progress?
Conaty: It started in January and went until the end of the legislative session in September. Along the way, we were able to obtain quite a few favorable amendments. It is not statewide; also, they have to give us ample notification before they go to the step of either banning or removing softeners. It's a two-step process: Regional boards have to make a finding and local agencies have to have public hearings that are noticed, and cannot take action for at least 60 days.
Loveday: The battle has gone from Sacramento back down to the local level. In the bill, there are many things they can do. They can put a salinity management plan in place, and that was not in the bill before. Before they ban they have to go down to the local level, where they are much more in touch with their constituents. When they are going to take an action like this that is going to affect someone whose business is down the road and is a small businessman in the community, they will certainly take another look.
Wilhelm: What kind of reaction have you seen from the industry to this bill?
Loveday: Many people understand that you cannot keep fighting every year. I do not think we will see any more legislation.
Now that it is over, we have had preliminary conversations with the state boards and regional boards, and they are willing to sit down and work with us. That is a very positive step, in the sense that the battle is over now; they want this bill to work. Hopefully they don't see us as enemies; they see us as a partner who can help with their salinity issues.
Conaty: I think the industry's reaction is "wait and see." There are a couple areas where they might move a little quicker to exercise their rights under this bill, which won't take effect until Jan. 1, 2010. But they will have to go through a regional water board first before a local agency can do anything, so we will get a heads up if any regional water board takes an action.
Loveday: We stress to our members that they need to get involved in their communities. That might mean joining the Lions Club, the Kiwanis, maybe the Chamber of Commerce, and going to luncheons and sitting down with those people. You may have someone from the water board there, and certainly an elected official. Get to know them; let them get to know you and your industry and educate them. We will be monitoring regional boards and authorities. If an agency is going to look at the problem, we are going to notify dealers and prepare packages for them. We are developing those kits right now. We will be meeting with members to walk them through the plan. We will invite our members and PWQA members and say, "Here is how the bill works. Here is what it means to you, and you have to be our eyes and ears on the ground."

Toshiba SCiB Li-Ion Battery Debuts in a Schwinn E-Bike
25 September 2008
|SCiB module and Schwinn Tailwind. Click to enlarge.
Cannondale Sports Group, a global provider of branded bicycles and a division of Dorel Industries, Inc., has selected the new Toshiba fast-charging SCiB (Super Charge ion Battery) lithium-ion battery (earlier post) to provide the power battery module for a new electric bicycle for the North American and European markets.
Toshiba's SCiB 24V/4.2Ah module will be installed in the Tailwind, a new electric bicycle Cannondale Sports Group will bring to market under the Schwinn Bicycles brand. Commercial launch of the Tailwind is scheduled for early 2009.
For the SCiB, Toshiba adopted a new lithium-titanate anode material offering a high level of thermal stability; a high flash point electrolyte; and a structure resistant to internal short circuiting and thermal runaway.
Toshiba claims that the SCiB has an input-output performance equivalent to that of an electric double layer capacitor. This feature is suited to high-power applications. However, cell voltage is only 2.4 V (the anode is 1.4 V versus lithium) and it has a low capacity density of about half that of graphite.
Capacity loss after 3,000 cycles of rapid charge and discharge is less than 10%. SCiB has a long cycle life, and is able to repeat the charge-discharge cycle more than 6,000 times.
The SCiB is housed in an SCiB Battery Module comprising ten 4.2 ampere-hour (Ah) SCiB cells aligned in series connection, plus a battery management system.
The safety characteristics of SCiB allow recharge with a current as large as 50A, allowing the SCiB Cell and SCiB Standard Module to recharge to 90% of full capacity in only five minutes, according to Toshiba. Toshiba is developing a 3.0 Ah high-power version of the SCiB cell specifically for hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) applications.
Toshiba says that it intends to extend the application of the high-power SCiB to electric cars in the future, after advancing development of a higher-performance SCiB cell.
SCiB and the Schwinn Tailwind electric bike, the first commercial application of SCiB, is on display at Interbike 2008 (24-26 September), the largest bicycle trade show in North America.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Toshiba SCiB Li-Ion Battery Debuts in a Schwinn E-Bike:
It is also somewhat bad news for companies that make old fashioned super capacitors. This battery offer super capacitor power with ten times the energy density of a super capacitor. However, it still is less durable because a super capacitor can easily do 100,000 recharges. However, for EV applications 3000 recharges and 150 miles range is still 450,000 miles or plenty for 20 years of service.
Anyway, EVs with the ability to charge to 90% in 5 minutes will be much more useful than EVs that need 30 minutes. Nobody (but retired people or unemployed) will do a long-distance drive in a pure short range EV unless it can recharge at every gas station in 5 minutes. Otherwise people will be forced to drive range extended EVs or alternatively only use their EVs for short-distance commuting and errands.
If these batteries can be made for $500 or less per kWh we could start to depend less on the ICE.
Think about 20-25 kph.
As far as I know, these bikes are usually electric-assist bikes, so you HAVE to pedal to get moving. As speed increases, the assistance decreases. So it helps you most when you need it: uphill/headwind. Above a certain speed there is no assistance at all.
I think it's a beautiful concept. Instead of a moped or bus, this helps you stay fit just by going about your daily life.
In the Netherlands these bikes are becoming very popular. I think this design doesn't beat the Sparta ION, which has the battery in an oversized down tube.
Your trip should take around 45 mins. To drain 500 Wh in that time an an average power of > 650W is required.
To go 25 kph on a normal bike takes around 200 W. The power you are providing yourself is easily 50 W, so the power demand on the electric system should be around 150 W. Sure the rating isn't a bit optimistic? Or is it 8-10 miles uphill only?
It would be interesting to see how much of the battery's charging needs could be met by regenerative input from the drive motor operating as a generator, when the rider is in the mood to pedal hard or when the bicycle is going downhill.
Also, I would like to know what kind of transmission arrangement this bike has. Modern bicycles often have deraileur (is my spelling correct?) on both front and rear sprockets, thus providing 10 or more overall gear ratios. Does the Schwinn electric bicycle have such an arrangement as well?
Modern high-tech materials, i.e. carbon fiber and titanium, are expensive but enable lighter weight. Does the Schwinn E-bike utilize this technology?
For those interested in how bicycles, motorcycles, scooters, walking, buses, and other transport modes can fit into modern urban transportation, I recommend this book: Grava, Sigurd; Urban Transportation Systems: Choices for Communities; (c)2003, published by McGraw-Hill. I suppose electric bicycles will find their niche as well.
I have a Schwinn Electric bike, (24v, lead acid batteries) so I hope the new Li battery will soon be available.
As for those thinking of using one for a commute .. if the trip is under 10 km, the bike is great. Speed is about 20km/h on batteries alone, with a modest increase if you peddle hard. I find peddling useful in acceleration, or for extending the range, or for helping out on uphills, or just to get some exercise.
You still may want a car for days when the weather is bad.
The advantage of electric (and pedal) bikes is that they are small and cheap and you CAN keep your car for wet days or days when you have to bring others with you.
There is no law which says you can only have one mode of transport, hence, if you live in or near a city, get a bike.
The energy of about 100 wH is rather low, I would have thought - only 30 minutes @ 200 watts to full discharge.
If you can recharge at work, you are OK, else you have a dead bike to cycle home on.
Here is another great book on bikes fro MIT
Bicycling Science
Von David Gordon Wilson, Jim Papadopoulos, Frank Rowland Whitt
The message from that would be that the power requirements from pedal bikes are very low, and you don't need a motor at all (my comment).
From the point of view of urban commuting, ordinary bikes should be fine up to about 5 miles, thereafter an e-bike or e-scooter might enable a more elegant entry into the office on a warm morning.
Excellent performance for low power applications.
However, the low energy density (67.2 Wh/Kg), i.e. about the same as the current NiMH used in the Prius, will limit application for PHEVs and BEVs (too heavy). It would be very interesting as HEV pack, it would supply improved braking energy recuperation and extended life duration at a lower cost?
Toyota may get the message?
Details on the Schwinn Tailwind eBike Disclosed
According to Schwinn, the Tailwind electric bike represents the next generation of eBike and will be available in early 2009 at a suggested retail price of $3,199.99(US).
The Tailwind (like all Schwinn electric bicycles) is a so-called eBike hybrid and can be ridden in either motor-assist mode or as a conventional bike. The eight-speed Tailwind utilizes a lightweight, Schwinn-designed 6000 series aluminum alloy frame and an SR Suntour NEX-4610 suspension fork with lock-out.
The electric motor in the Tailwind is housed in the hub of the front wheel, an innovation found in all Schwinn electric bike models. In addition, all Schwinn eBike models (including the Tailwind) utilize the Plug N' Drive removable battery pack which is built into stylishly designed rear bike rack systems, allowing riders to quickly detach the battery for recharging.
It is projected that Tailwind owners will realize an industry leading 2,000 recharge lifecycles with the eBike versus the industry standard of 1,000 charges before needing to replace the battery. Tailwind riders will find they can ride 25 to 30 miles per charge (depending upon such factors as climate, rider weight and terrain). The Tailwind also comes with a 20,000-mile or two-year limited warranty.
Other specs for Schwinn's Tailwind include
* A Shimano Nexus 8-speed internal geared rear hub,
* A brushless motor with 180 watts of continuous power or 250 watts at peak power,
* Schwinn's PowerDial™ on and off power assist system, with three pedal assist power settings,
* Rear roller braking system,
* Double wall alloy rims and Continental Town Ride tires (with flat protection and reflective sidewall),
* Inside-the-frame electric wire routing,
* Full fenders, chain cover, Basta Defender wheel lock, and B+M dynamo powered light set,
* Selle Royal Look In gel saddle (seat), with suspension seat post and adjustable rise stem,
* Four standard frame sizes (S, M, L, XL), and
* Three step-thru frame sizes (S, M, L).
You get it in the book I referenced:
"Here is another great book on bikes from MIT
Bicycling Science
Von David Gordon Wilson, Jim Papadopoulos, Frank Rowland Whitt"
My understanding was that the 2008 Schwinn e-bikes were about $2K - I do not think anyone would pay $3.2K for an ebike (So I am assuming this will be the same).
The range is very limited.
Here at AmpedBikes, we have tested every battery available Li+, Lico2, Limn, Lifepo4 we are having an inframe injection mold manufactured for us and BOY if I could get my hands on these batteries!
The bike is completely overpriced and in my opinion they did not do their homework with the US market.
The benefits of riding an electric assisted bicycle as a commuter are immense!
1. The average commuter adds 3.55 tons of Co2 to the atmosphere yearly.
2. By riding an electric pedal assisted bike even 4 days a week will reduce the Co2 emissions by 3 tons per person yearly!
3. Your health! You don't even notice it but month after month by commuting you start to actually pedal. You are getting healthy and do not even realize it.
4. Stress.. Your daily stress that only gets compounded in traffic on the way home is melted away by commuting by e-bike, increasing your mental health and daily outlook immensely.
5. Productivity.. If you encourage your employees to commute their productivity is increased by 30% over the first month.
There are sooo many reasons to do it and no reasons not to.

I got it from here (amongst others):
I'm afraid this is in Dutch, but if you look at the figure in the lower half of the page, there is a long list of speeds for different types of bikes @250W.
The standard bike is waaaay at the bottom, reaching only 29kph for that amount of power. Compare that to the speed of a fully faired 2 wheel recumbent. They easily go over 60 kph with that power input.
250W is a continuous power output that is attainable for a well-trained, average person.
My bike is a custom design running at 48V with NiMH SubC cells. Full stall current is about 35A and when the batteries are fully charged, they hold 46V at that current. So that's about 1.6 kW. My motor is not the best (PM DC) so I have a feeling that most of that is being dumped to heat as the field is most likely de-magnetizing my magnets.
With modern hybrid vehicles, the compact electric motor technology has advanced rapidly. The Honda 10kW pancake motor could easily fit in the hub of a 26" bicycle and you could really haul a** with that :)
I got my li-ion e-bike kit from Crystalyte. It requires self installation and getting the hub motor spiked into the wheel by a bikeshop, but it's much cheaper than the Schwinn bike. I have 36 volts and 9.6 Ah, which yields 350 Wh. I do about 5 Wh per kilometer with no sweat pedal assist and no major hills, speed is 25-30 km/h. The voltage gets too low for my taste after 30-40 kilometers. I could probably do up to 60 kilometers, but the assist speed slows down as it's linearly dependent on the voltage.
There are other kit sellers around and I can just say that I'm relatively happy with the Crystalyte product that I've had for over a year. Only the throttle is flimsy.

At its meeting on 22 February, Sub-Committee A (Economic
and Financial Affairs, Trade and External Relations) decided to
seek a note from the Legal Adviser "on the sources and extent
of Community competence in relation to WTO negotiations".
This Note seeks to provide a response to that request.
(a) Legal Personality
The Community has legal personality by virtue
of Article 281 of the EC Treaty and capacity, within its field
of competence, to enter into obligations binding in international
law. The Community is party to a wide variety of international
agreements. It is also a member of a number of international organisations.
However, the Treaties do not expressly confer legal personality
on the European Union and consequently, it is argued, the Union
has no power to contract obligations binding in international
law or to belong to international organisations.
(b) Sources of Community competence
The Community's competence to conclude international
agreements arises from two sources:
(i) Express provisions in the Treaty.
For example, Article 133 enables the Community to enter into tariff
and trade agreements within the scope of the Common Commercial
Policy. Other examples can be found in Article 111 (monetary and
foreign exchange agreements), Article 155 (TENs), Article 174
(Environment) and Article 181 (Development co-operation);
(ii) The jurisprudence of the European Court
of Justice. The Court has held that external competence may
flow from other provisions of the Treaty and measures adopted
within the framework of those provisions. Thus the existence of
"internal rules" or of unexercised Treaty powers to
adopt such rules confers external competence on the Community.
(c) Competence - the legal implications
The Community's ability to conduct external relations
is restricted, as a matter of law, to those areas where it has
competence. On the other hand, where and to the extent that the
Community has competence, Member States' freedom of action, for
example, to enter into agreements between themselves or with third
States is limited. This is a consequence of the supremacy/primacy
of Community lawMember States cannot prejudice the operation
of Community law inter alia by entering into external obligations.
Where the transfer of competence is partial,
because the Treaty expressly preserves Member States' competence
(for example, Article 174 (4)) or the internal rules do not occupy
the whole field, then the Community and the Member States share
competence. Both will be parties to the international agreement,
which is commonly referred to as a "mixed agreement".
Internal and external competence are therefore directly related.
The precise extent of Community competence in
relation to a particular subject or agreement is frequently a
matter of concern and debate between the Commission and the Member
States. (The external competence implications of a proposal may
therefore influence Member States' decisions on the adoption or
extension of internal rules.) History shows this to have been
the case in relation to the GATT/WTO.
(d) The Common Commercial Policy
It is clear that the Community has competence
in relation to external trade matters. Articles 131-134 enable
the Community to conduct a common commercial policy with third
States. The policy has facilitated the establishment of a customs
union between the Member States and is based on uniform principles
with regard to such matters as tariff rates, the conclusion of
tariff and trade agreements with third States, import and export
policy. It has been long recognised that the common commercial
policy is an area where the Community has exclusive competence.
But the precise scope of the common commercial policy has been
hotly debated. In particular, does it include services, transport
and intellectual property rights? The matter came before the Court
of Justice prior to the conclusion of the Uruguay Round (a political
compromise was reached between the Commission and the Member States
as regards the actual negotiation).
(e) The Court of Justice's Opinion 1/94
In a lengthy, detailed and somewhat complex ruling
the Court held that the common commercial policy covered some,
but not all, modes of supplying services. Following the approach
of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS), it distinguished
four different ways in which services were supplied: cross-border
supply, consumption abroad, commercial presence and movement of
persons. Only the first falls within the common commercial policy.
The Court also held that international agreements in the field
of transport were excluded from the scope of the common commercial
policy: transport was the subject of a separate and specific title
of the Treaty. Further, the Court held that those parts of the
Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPs)
which dealt with intellectual property rights were outside the
scope of the common commercial policy. But the Court went on to
reaffirm its jurisprudence on the sources of Community competence
(see paragraph (c) above) and found, after a detailed examination
of the acquis, that the Community had, by virtue
of relevant existing "internal rules", (limited) competence
in relation to transport and intellectual property.
(f) The Community's participation in the WTO
and the agreements reached in the Uruguay Round
Both the Community and the Member States are
party to the WTO agreement and associated agreements. The formal
complexity of the legal position regarding the Community's competence
in relation to WTO matters can be seen from the legal base given
to the Council's decision approving Community membership. The
decision was based on (old numbering) Articles 43, 54, 57, 75,
84(2), 99, 100, 100a, 113 and 235, in conjunction with the second
subparagraph of Article 228(3) of the Treaty. Article 113 (now
133) provides, as explained in para (d) above, the legal basis
of the common commercial policy. The other Articles (or more precisely
one or more of them as the case may be) provide the legal base
for the relevant "internal rules" in the areas of services,
establishment, transport and intellectual property.
(g) The Amsterdam Treaty
The Amsterdam Treaty inserted a novel provision
(Article 133(5)) permitting the scope of the common commercial
policy, and therefore exclusive Community competence, to be extended
to cover services and intellectual property. This responds to
the Court of Justice's Opinion 1/94, dealing with the Community's
accession to the WTO agreements, described in paragraph (e) above.
The unanimous agreement of the Council is needed to effect such
a change. However, as will be appreciated, because of the logical
relationship between the exercise of internal competence and external
competence the Community's powers in these areas may increase
(gradually and sometimes by QMV) as more "internal rules"
are adopted.
(h) A wider agenda for the WTO
If the agenda of the WTO extends (further) into
matters less directly related to trade it will be necessary, as
at the time of the Uruguay Round, to see if and to what extent
those matters fall within the scope of the common commercial policy
or under other provisions of the Treaty giving the Community express
powers to enter into external agreements. If they fell outside
those provisions, an examination of internal competence, potential
or exercised, would be needed to ascertain the precise extent
of the respective competences of the Community and the Member
States. Finally it should be noted that even where a Member State
retains the ability to act unilaterally it may be constrained
by the duty of co-operation (in Article 10 of the EC Treaty) which
requires Member States to abstain from any measure which could
jeopardise the objectives of the Community.

Herb Weiss was an instructor at MIT until he became one of the first Research Staff at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in 1951. Twenty seven years later when he retired from Lincoln as head of the Radar Division he was in charge of the R and D teams that developed the DEW (distant early warning) and BMEWS (ballistic missile early warning systems). In addition, there were development programs for the FAA that paved the way for the air-to-air collision avoidance systems, improved beacon tracking, and weather radars. The weather pictures now routine on television are based on the digitally processed range/doppler techniques that were developed at laboratory.
The division of the laboratory that Weiss directed has also been active in many other projects. These include both airborne and ground based radars for the detection of moving personnel in foliage. Laboratory-build equipment with this capability was used in Vietnam. An airborne radar capable of detecting moving vehicles in ground clutter was also developed.
An active development program for the FAA included basic work on the airborne collision avoidance system, beacon data links, improved radar processing, and weather tracking equipment. The colored moving weather pictures shown on TV is one direct result of the range/doppler concepts pioneered at Lincoln.
Weiss has served on the Ballistic Missile Defense Panel of the President's Advisory Committee, the Department of Defense Electronic Systems Advisory Panel and on the FAA Air Traffic Control Advisory Committee. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the IEEE Editorial Board. He received a Presidential Certificate of Merit for his war-time work for the Air Force and a second Presidential Certificate Merit for his work for the U.S. Navy. In 1954 he received the Air Force Outstanding Achievement Award.

Freedom fighter, journalist and writer Ranen Mookherjee dead
Kolkata: Veteran freedom fighter and renowned journalist Ranen Mookherjee, who wrote several popular books on Bangladesh politics as also biographies of political leaders under the pen name Krittivas Ojha, died Tuesday following old-age complications. He was 86.
Mookherjee is survived by his daughter, said a family member.
As a school boy, Mookherjee joined the freedom movement after he came in touch with Mahatma Gandhi. He was arrested in 1946 while observing the Rashid Ali Divas.
Later, he joined the all India Forward Bloc and fought the assembly elections twice unsuccessfully as its candidate. He also took part in the food movement of 1959 in West Bengal.
Beginning his journalistic career with Forward Bloc`s Bengali mouthpiece Loksevak, Mookherjee at various times was associated with Lokmat, Ganabarta, Dainik Basumati, Bharatkatha, Satyajug, Bartamaan and Sambad Pratidin. He served as the chief reporter of Dainik Basumati.
His political analyses written under the nom de plume Krittivas Ojha were widely read.
He covered the Bangladesh liberation war and had close contacts with Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahaman. His biography of Mujibur Rahaman "Ami Mujib bolchi" was critically acclaimed.
He authored around 30 books, that included biographies of martyr Khudiram Bose, Forward Bloc leader Hemanta Kumar Basu and Communist Party of India-Marxist stalwart Promode Dasgupta.
Mookherjee was one of the founders of the Indian Journalists` Union. He played a leading role in it and served a number of terms as its general secretary and president, and toured a number of countries as part of media delegations.
His body was taken to the Forward Bloc state committee office where its state secretary Ashok Ghosh offered wreaths. Later, at the Press Club, journalists and CPI-M Politburo members Biman Bose and Surjya Kanta Mishra laid wreaths.
A wreath was also placed on behalf of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
Mookherjee had signed a pledge for posthumous body donation. The body would be donated to the NRS Medical College and Hospital as per his wishes, family sources said.

good evening chowhounders,
i made sure to read all the posts on this board dealing with europea, toque!, and all the other high end / fine dining restaurants before posting this post.
background info:
we will be celebrating our anniversary dinner saturday night and are looking to do a TASTING menu at either one of the restaurants. friday nights dinner will be @ garde-manger because it's in old montreal, it's chucks restaurant, and it's great for the late night lounge atmosphere. we are both passionate about food & wine, and have made our rounds here in toronto
so after many days & hours researching restaurant websites, message boards / forums, reading reviews, magazine articles, etc., etc., the final two have been chosen.
restaurant-toque! vs, europea
here is what i have heard & read and using to help me decide
toque - consistently great: service, food, wine pairings, etc.
europea - great value for what you get vs. what you pay, CHEF's table is available
$$ is not an option, but if save some and am still blown away then all the better.
any help would be great.
your choice: toque!? or europea? and why.

The Louisiana oak, or Quercus ludoviciana, is one of the rarest oaks in existence, found only in select arboreta. It's a naturally occurring hybrid derived from a cross of Willow oak, Quercus phellos, and Cherrybark oak, Quercus falcata var. pagodifolia.
It is larger and better formed than southern red oak and commonly grows on sites more moist and acidic. This deciduous tree has heavy strong wood which makes it an excellent timber tree. It also makes an ideal shade tree, which, over the years will become a magnificently lofty specimen reaching 80 feet or more. Obviously, such a massive tree would not be suitable for small plots, but would be better suited for parks and country properties. In addition to beauty and utility, Louisiana oak provides habitat and food for wild animals and birds. The three-lobed leaves are almost chartreuse in spring turning a glossy deep green for summer and finally a rich copper in autumn.
Louisiana oak is a fast growing tree, but unlike other fast growers, it is also long lived. Its native range in North America is from the Great Lakes in the north, to New Jersey in the east, and Louisiana in the south and west. It is most common to the areas drained by the Mississippi river, or the original Louisiana territory. Despite such a vast area, it is nowhere common and it is largely unheard of. However, it is found in arboreta in the UK (Kew), France, the Netherlands and Germany and can be found in some select nurseries.

Catholic Community enraged by Patanjali's commercial, seek ban
Baba Ramdev's Patanjali Ayurved has managed to infuriate the Catholic community in Mumbai through their latest commercial on national television which depicted the holy Cross while urging Indians to boycott foreign products.
The Indian Christian Voice (ICV) has gone to the extent of writing to President Pranab Mukherjee, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other departments seeking a ban on the commercial, stating that it may incite hatred against Christians and lead to attacks on churches and other Christian institutions. According to reports, ICV feels that the commercial has 'the potential to disrupt communal harmony.' "In the commercial, Baba Ramdev has depicted the Cross, the very symbol of the Christian faith, and called upon Indians to boycott all foreign products. The commercial has the potential to destroy the very moral and secular fabric of India, eventually disrupting communal harmony. We have petitioned the President, Prime Minister, Finance Minister, Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Minister for Corporate Affairs and Advertising Standard Council of India demanding that this commercial advertisement be withdrawn forthwith and banned immediately from being screened on any public domain," ICV president Dr Abraham Mathai said.
"The Christian community has no objections to the boycott he seeks, but we strongly object to the misuse of the Cross in the ad. The commercial has smartly depicted the Cross to show the British rule in India, in a bid to enable Baba Ramdev to arguably propagate his agenda of targeting a particular minority community. Such demagoguery will definitely result in increased attacks on churches," he added.
The latest commercial features a black-and-white clip depicting the pre-Independence 'Swadeshi' movement and suddenly zooms into a map of India with three crosses jutting out in three directions. Between the crosses the words E, I and Co. are shown indicating the East India Company which brought upon the British colonial rule in India.
Lately the brand has been aggressive about its positioning while pitching MNCs as 'thieves'. Even in its print advertisement it has come strongly against its global FMCG competitors. "Though we got political freedom 70 years back, economic freedom is still a dream," the print advertisement states. "The way East India Company enslaved and looted us, multinational companies are still doing the same by selling soap, shampoo, toothpaste, cream, powder and similar daily items at exorbitant price," it says. The multimedia campaign started running ahead of Independence Day.

Use of two vertical incisions on sides for abdominoplasty?
Interested in abdominoplasty (was on high dose prednisone for 5 years to treat an autoimmune condition, which is now in remission) 49 year old male, 6'1. 337lbs >180lbs current. When I'm laying prone gravity does a wonderful job of pulling the skin back. It seems that two vertical incisions, on the sides from armpit to waist, would accomplish the same AND the scars would be hidden when arms are down? I was also thinking of covering with tattoos as well. Is this ever done?
Yes, what you are describing very well is the surgical practice of removing, contouring and reshaping a patient following massive weight loss. It is a craft that almost every ASAPS Member is well versed and participates in frequently. Here is an example of one of our female patients that lost over 150 pounds before and after a body contouring procedure ( http://www.garyculbertson.com/photolibraryr%202-a.htm ). Yes, we also do men.
Please remember that based upon your description you may require more than one surgical procedure. Consider a consult with one of the many members of the ASAPS. They are experts in massive weight loss patient surgery. Best,
Gary R Culbertson, MD, FACS

The Methodist Bishop of Obuasi Diocese, Rt. Rev. Stephen Richard Bosomtwe-Ayensu has called on President John Mahama to 'talk less and do more'.
According to him, the president must be seen to be working because Ghanaians are tired of assurances that Ghana's socio-economic conditions would improve.
Rev. Bosomtwi-Ayensu made the comment on Asempa FM's Ekosii Sen programme Friday.
He said Ghanaians are languishing in abject poverty because government has turned a blind eye on what he described as the 'spiraling increases' in goods and services.
The Methodist Bishop reiterated the urgent need for government to institute more practical measures for reviving the country's economy.
'Talk is cheap what we need is action. Ghanaians are tired of the assurance to fulfill the Better Ghana Agenda promise,' he exclaimed.
Rev. Bosomtwi-Ayensu wondered why Ghana was wallowing in abject poverty, and queried what had become of the various natural resources the country is endowed with.
He cautioned government against the 'profligate' expenditure at the expense of the bread and butter issues confronting the citizenry.
The Methodist Bishop was quick to add that his critique of the Mahama-led administration is not out of malice.
Rev. Bosomtwi-Ayensu therefore urged President Mahama to stop the rhetorics and find an antidote to the economic crisis. According to him, Ghanaians cannot continue to endure the hardships in the country because they are unbearable. Story by Ghana/Adomonline.com/Adwoa Gyasiwaa

Rugby World Cup winning coach Graham Henry and his assistant Steve Hansen will coach the Barbarians against Australia at Twickenham on Saturday 26 November.
The two Kiwis, who masterminded the All Blacks' World Cup triumph, will take charge of the Baa Baas for the first time. They will be joined by a host of players from the All Blacks squad including Sonny Bill Williams, Keven Mealamu and Jerome Kaino.
Barbarians' chairman John Spencer said: "This is a great coup for the Barbarians at this particular time. Having seen at first hand in New Zealand in recent weeks the high regard in which both Graham Henry and Steve Hansen are held by the rugby fraternity at large, capped by the All Blacks being crowned as world champions, we are absolutely delighted that they are coming to the UK to coach the Barbarians."
Wales' Leigh Halfpenny and Jamie Roberts, along with South Africa's Bryan Habana and Victor Matfield, are also scheduled to feature in a stellar line-up. The new Barbarians feature a glittering cast of other big names from around the world including Stirling Mortlock (Australia), Danny Cipriani (England), Jason White (Scotland) and the Wales' trio of record cap-holder Stephen Jones and his namesakes Ryan and Adam Jones.
Barbarians' secretary Alan Evans said, "Advance ticket sales have already hit the 40,000 mark and as more and more star names are announced we are confident that the British rugby public will want to be at Twickenham to see whether Graham Henry and Steve Hansen can mastermind another victory over the Wallabies."

Thanks ladies!!! I am SO excited. And... in true angel mama fashion, I had to EXPLAIN it to everyone at the fabric store. LOL. It was really neat to share with people that this quilt isn't just colorful, it's symbolic for me. I explained what a rainbow baby was, and I got to talk about my angel without people looking at me like I was nuts, and people were able to acknowledge my little angel and my Baby Bug and share in the joy. I cannot tell you what a balm for my soul that was.
And... Lindsey! That's so sweet! It's not SUPER hard... if you can sew in a straight line, you can quilt. Take that class though! It'll be helpful!
Thanks to tasha_mae for my BEAUTIFUL siggie!

Directed by Sam Wainright Douglas, a veteran filmmaker and Mockbee's son-in-law, the hour-long film features frank interviews with the Rural Studio founder and his peers (including Peter Eisenman and Cameron Sinclair) while documenting the creation of a home for Alabama resident Jimmie Lee Matthews, a soul music aficionado known as Music Man. "We wanted to produce a film that followed a project from start to finish, so you could see the impact the experience was having on students, while also allowing Mockbee to explain the Rural Studio and his motivations, allowing you to get to know this amiable, thoughtful person," says Douglas, who co-produced the film with Jay Sanders, Sarah Ann Mockbee, and Jeff Fraley. "We also tried to show his impact on the profession beyond the borders of Alabama and have a larger discussion about architecture's role in our lives, education, citizenship, and social priorities."

WASHINGTON Food and Drug Administration spokesperson Christopher Kelly recently said that, despite comments from an agency official on Monday, the agency will not submit to Congress a legislative proposal to seek authority to approve generic versions of biotechnology medications, CongressDaily reports.
FDA chief operating officer John Dyer had said on Monday that the agency had begun to draft language for such a proposal. In addition, a congressional aide said that the FDA informed the House Energy and Commerce Committee about plans to submit such a proposal but did not disclose a timeline.
Kelly said that the comments from Dyer resulted from a misunderstanding. Fiscal year 2009 budget documents refer to a legislative proposal that will provide recommendations on an FDA approval process for generic versions of biotech medications. Kelly said that the reference to such a proposal was an "expression by FDA of our interest in moving this forward, not an actual proposal."

Thailand's prime minister pledged yesterday to use peaceful means to end the siege of the capital's airports by anti-government protesters and demoted the national police chief, amid speculation that he had disagreed with government policy.
But in the likelyhood of a violent confrontation still appeared high, as protesters and police reinforced their presence at Suvarnabhumi international airport, seized Tuesday by the anti-government People's Alliance for Democracy.
"Today, we see blood with our eyes. We will fight," said top protest leader Sondhi Limthongkul. "At this moment, there is no way we will negotiate."
The group is demanding the resignation of the government, which it accuses of being a puppet of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted by a 2006 military coup and fled overseas to escape corruption charges. Current Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat is Thaksin's brother-in-law.
The capital remains cut off from all civilian air traffic, stranding thousands of travelers and dealing a severe blow to the economy and tourism industry.
More protesters arrived at the airport in cars and buses despite roadblocks set up by police, boosting their number to several thousand. One of the main elevated roads into the airport is controlled by the alliance's guards, who have set up their own checkpoint.
Police, many in full riot gear, also had a much more visible presence, guarding an airport hotel and airport management offices, and assembling in a nearby administrative building. There appeared to be several hundred in the area.
The Thai government on Thursday declared a state of emergency at Suvarnabhumi and at the smaller Don Muang domestic airport – also occupied by demonstrators – but has not taken any further firm steps. Its failure to end the illegal airport closures has led to calls in the media for Somchai to step down, even from those who oppose the protesters.
In a brief, televised speech last night, Somchai gave no clue as to when the deadlock might be resolved.
"Do not be concerned. The security forces will use peaceful means," he said. "There will be negotiations and whatever else which is appropriate in the situation."
Government spokesman Nattawut Sai-Kua said Gen. Pacharawat Wongsuwan, the national police chief, was demoted to an inactive post in the prime minister's office.
Nattawut declined to comment on the order, issued by Somchai.
It was not clear whether Pacharawat was removed because police failed to evict the protesters or because he apparently made no attempt to negotiate a peaceful end to the crisis, as the government had asked.
Many of the demonstrators were defiant, saying they did not care if police tried to disperse the crowd.
"Even though they are going to come here, it doesn't matter. They can arrest us, but we will come back again," said Vichai Hanvivatpong, 40, a protester inside the terminal.
Vichai said he did not think the group was doing the right thing, but "we have no choice. If you go for something big, you have to sacrifice something."

US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama (not shown) read to children during their visit to the Capitial City Public Charter School to meet with the 2nd Grade Class and read the book 'The Moon Over Star' at the school in Washington DC., USA, 03 February 2009. EPA/GARY FABIANO / POOL
Approaching the keyboard in the age of Obama is becoming ever more dicey. What with dealing with the winter of our own discontent, disinfectants, and distress, there's a slow realization that the dystopian society some of us suspected before the election might be the true construct behind the flashing neon lights of Hope and Change is indeed the audacious aim of Barack Obama and it's beginning to unfold.
A scary time made even more scary by our Horror Story Teller in Chief, Scary Barry.
I've always been skeptical of the pushy car salesmen who insist that a car I am mildly interested in must be purchased immediately because there are so many buyers in line, there are no more like it, the price will go up tomorrow, etc…. but this is what we have been getting from Empire Obama re the Stimulus Plan.
If the rotting fish/lard/pork bill is not passed with all its earmarks and goodies the seas will rise, and we will be in for catastrophic times, according to Barrack Obama.
Things haven't been going so well for Barack and Michelle in the White House, it seems, since most of the Obama cabinet selections have been found unworthy in one way or another. The day Tom Daschle had to bow out of the post of secretary of Health and Human Services due to tax troubles the Obamas took off to a charter school in Washington D.C. where they told the second graders they were 'tired of being in the White House.'
Such an inspirational couple.
The escapist pair read The Moon over Star to the delighted and useful children all in order to divert attention from the bad news of the day which, truth be told, was all of Barack Obama's making.
Obama's impaired judgement in his selection of tax cheats, lobbyists and sleaze artists has hit full mass and even the puppy dog press has been forced to cover his mess of a presidency.
It's bad enough that Obama and his Democrat Party are promising the country the trillion dollar pork sandwich will be good for the economy even though support for the stimulus is sinking, the rabbit eared Obama cannot take the heat of the criticism of the package and had a snit-fit at the Democrat Retreat in Williamsburg, Va.
Unsurprisingly, the writers at Newsweek have seen the rising socialism and have shrugged their shoulders.
As the Obama administration presses the largest fiscal bill in American history, caps the salaries of executives at institutions receiving federal aid at $500,000 and introduces a new plan to rescue the banking industry, the unemployment rate is at its highest in 16 years. The Dow has slumped to 1998 levels, and last year mortgage foreclosures rose 81 percent.
All of this is unfolding in an economy that can no longer be understood, even in passing, as the Great Society vs. the Gipper. Whether we like it or not—or even whether many people have thought much about it or not—the numbers clearly suggest that we are headed in a more European direction. A decade ago U.S. government spending was 34.3 percent of GDP, compared with 48.2 percent in the euro zone—a roughly 14-point gap, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. In 2010 U.S. spending is expected to be 39.9 percent of GDP, compared with 47.1 percent in the euro zone—a gap of less than 8 points. As entitlement spending rises over the next decade, we will become even more French.
Perhaps this is the reason why most of the Republicans in Congress are fighting against the stimulus.
But what of the things that matter without as well as within our nation? Not only have there been troubling foreign policy changes… Obama directed that charges be dropped against Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the U.S.S. Cole bombing mastermind; in addition, the NSC will be restructured to be more like SpongeBob SquarePants.
The new structure, to be outlined in a presidential directive and a detailed implementation document by Jones, will expand the NSC's reach far beyond the range of traditional foreign policy issues and turn it into a much more elastic body, with Cabinet and departmental seats at the table — historically occupied only by the secretaries of defense and state — determined on an issue-by-issue basis. Jones said the directive will probably be completed this week.
Melanie Phillips, possibly the wisest woman in Britain writes here about what she suspects is the true aim of the Obama presidency.
I have argued before however that, given Obama's radical roots in the neo-Marxist, nihilist politics of Saul Alinsky, it is the undermining of America's fundamental values that is likely to be this President's most strategically important goal. I have also suggested that, since this agenda is promoted through stealth politics which gull the credulous middle-classes while destroying the ground upon which they are standing, his second-tier appointments should be closely scrutinised.
And here's a humdinger. Obama has picked a man called David Ogden to be deputy Attorney-General. Ogden has made his legal career from representing pornographers, trying to defeat child protection legislation and undermining family values. As FoxNews reported this week, he once represented a group of library directors arguing against the Children's Internet Protection Act, which ordered libraries and schools receiving funding for the Internet to restrict access to obscene sites. And on behalf of several media groups, he successfully argued against a child pornography law that required publishers to verify and document the age of their models, which would have ensured these models were at least 18.
The Dystopian world of Barack Obama approaches. His allies in Congress are calling for the fairness doctrine to Hush Rush and everyone else who opposes Obama's policies. For the first time ever 'the director of the Census Bureau will report directly to the White House and not the secretary of Commerce, according to a senior White House official.' The centralization of power continues in the empire of Obama.
Perhaps there is still hope that there will be a change from all this doom and gloom rhetoric the new president has been piling on his fellow Americans. It's not likely, the man is 47 years old and his character is pretty much formed for better or worse by now. He's moved into the job of president with very heavy steps. Still, the two weeks of mistakes, embarrassments and temper tantrums are pretty breath taking.
President Obama is not unlike another leader who led at another time in history, King Ethelred the Unready.
Of all the kings in English history, Ethelred II has perhaps the worst reputation. By the end of his reign, he'd managed to lose almost all of England to Viking Invaders.
To fully appreciate the story of Ethelred II, it is important to go back to the reign of his father, King Edgar. Edgar was the great-grandson of King Alfred the Great, and it was during Edgar's reign that, for the first time since before Alfred, all of England was united under one king. The Anglo-Saxon kingdom of England was at its height, seemingly free from dangers, internal or external. And thus, King Edgar was given the nickname "the Peaceful." It was a much better nickname than would be given to his son.
Ethelred was born around the year 968, the younger of two sons of Edgar. Unfortunately, for England, the two sons came from different mothers, and from the moment of Edgar's death in 975, a power struggle ensued. The struggle ended with the murder of Ethelred's half-brother, Edward. In 978 Ethelred was crowned king of England at age 10.
It should come as no surprise that someone who was granted so much authority at such a young age might suffer from a lack of wisdom in how to wield that power. In fact, Ethelred's reign was characterized by his inability to control or maintain the loyalty of his subjects.
Still, while the unity of England was slowly unwinding from within, the country faced a new threat from outside the island. In the early years of Ethelred's reign, the Vikings returned. At first, they made small raids along the coast, but as the years passed their boldness grew. Their raids became bigger, more brutal, and struck deeper into the heart of England. Try as he might, Ethelred could organize no effective military resistance to the invaders. So instead, Ethelred took to paying them to go away. These payments were given the polite word of Danegeld, but in reality were nothing more or less than extortion.
Poor old Ethelred was only a young boy when he became king. President Obama is 47 years old.
Our country will be lucky indeed if Danegeld is all we will be paying in the next four years with Obama at the helm.

50V rated C0G multilayer ceramic capacitors
Post a comment
PARIS TDK-EPC Corporation launched a new series of multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) with C0G temperature characteristics and a rated voltage of 50V, 60 percent smaller than existing products with the same capacitance according to the manufacturer.
With three times the capacitance of existing TDK MLCCs, the new products will have the worlds highest capacitance in the 50V rated voltage range for C0G characteristics, that is, a temperature coefficient of no more than 0 ± 30 ppm/°C over the complete operating temperature range from -55°C to +125°C.
With the new series, TDK-EPC is meeting the market demand for miniaturization in automotive and consumer applications.
Using specialized thin-layer and multilayer technologies it developed new ceramic dielectric materials that enable the spacing between the ceramic dielectric layers to be reduced by approximately 30 percent.
The new components can be used in applications that require highly accurate capacitors such as time constant and oscillator circuits.
They are also suited for use in snubber circuits and EMI filtering in power supplies of automotive electronic control units (ECU), consumer electronics, and industrial equipment.
The new ceramic capacitors can also replace film capacitors in some general consumer electronics applications.

This unique district was the vision of Teresa Cazotte Alcalde, a wealthy resident and widow of Enrique Concha y Toro, whose name is famous in English-speaking countries thanks to the popular winery. Teresa wanted to recreate a European neighborhood she had loved visiting when she was younger. She oversaw the design of a series of thin, winding streets that converge around a small plaza and fountain. Between 1926 and 1939, the eclectic array of residences grew. It's one of my favorite places for a quick stroll, and for soaking up yet another facet of Santiago's diverse styles.
(Personal Note: Tomorrow morning, I'm flying to Patagonia, where I'm told the unspoiled natural setting may mean that I'll have spotty Internet access. But stay tuned, I'll be back on as soon as I can with more photos and reports!)
