Evangeline Lilly & Barry Humphries Join the Cast of 'The Hobbit', Too
by Alex Billington
June 19, 2011

Some interesting casting news that Peter Jackson decided to unveil on Father's Day (in the US). Jackson took to his Facebook again for an update, in the process revealing two more major casting announcements for his already-underway adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. Playing a new character, a Woodland Elf named Tauriel, is Canadian actress and "Lost" regular Evangeline Lilly, in her next big film role after Real Steel. Additionally, Australian voice and character actor Barry Humphries will portray the Goblin King from the story as Jackson says, "in much the way Andy Serkis created Gollum." More great additions!
I think it's best to just let you hear what PJ himself said in his post about casting both Lilly and Humphries:
"Evangeline Lilly will be playing a new character—the Woodland Elf, Tauriel. Her name means 'daughter of Mirkwood' and, beyond that, we must leave you guessing! (No, there is no romantic connection to Legolas.) What is not a secret is how talented and compelling an actress Evangeline is; we are thrilled and excited she will be the one to bring our first true Sylvan Elf to life."
"I'm also highly excited that Barry Humphries will be portraying the Goblin King, in much the way Andy Serkis created Gollum. Barry is perhaps best known for his business and social connections as the long-time manager of Dame Edna Everage. He has also been an ardent supporter of the rather misunderstood and unfairly maligned Australian politician, Sir Les Patterson. However, in his spare time, Barry is also a fine actor, and we're looking forward to seeing him invest the Goblin King with the delicate sensitivity and emotional depth this character deserves."
"Evangeline and Barry, along with Welsh actor Luke Evans as Bard and Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug, just about rounds out the major casting. I cannot wait to get stuck into these new scenes!"
Those other two, Luke Evans as Bard, and Benedict Cumberbatch as the dragon Smaug, were confirmed earlier this week, as it sounds like they're trying to wrap up casting for both movies (An Unexpected Journey in 2012, There and Back Again in 2013) so they can move full-force into shooting for the rest of the year. I'm intrigued to see a brand new character implemented as a key part of the story, as this might indicate they're really expanding upon what was in the book and adding a lot to make it cinematic and feel directly a part of the Lord of the Rings world. All of the casting has been spot on so far, and I trust in PJ, so whatever he's up to, bring it on. We'll keep you updated on The Hobbit as shooting continues down in New Zealand.

Secondary schools in Zambia
Secondary schools in Zambia teach grades eight to twelve, also known as form one to five. Some secondary schools in Zambia also offer 'A' levels to their students and some are secondary boarding schools. In Zambia there are international, private, Government and community secondary schools. International secondary schools use internationally recognised curricula leading to secondary school qualifications such as IGCSE, GCE and the International Baccalaureate (IB). The government secondary schools are split into upper basic, grades 8-9 and secondary, grades 10-12. There is a growing list of secondary schools that can be found here.
14 results for Education and Careers › Secondary schools
Most private, Government and community secondary schools follow a Zambian curriculum with private schools demanding the higher fees in this group. Government secondary schools provide secondary education for the whole of Zambia. They are often divided into junior secondary schools, for grades eight and nine and upper secondary schools, for grades ten to twelve. Community secondary schools are supported by individuals, businesses, farms and/or churches in the local area.
Secondary schools across Zambia may cater for day scholars and offer secondary school boarding facilities. International and private secondary school education tends to take in children from the age of 11 whilst Government and community primary school education usually begins at age 13. Government basic schools teach grades one to nine, of which grade one to seven fall in the Zambia primary school category.

Economists and the general public will argue, probably forever, about the precise causes of the 2008 financial crisis.
But assigning blame can be left to the historians. The question Americans need to face today is whether the steps Washington is taking today in the name of preventing another crisis will have the unintended effects of slowing economic growth, or even making another crisis more likely.
The primary response thus far, the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, was passed in July 2010, with the stated aim of ending the notion of "too big to fail" financial institutions.
Whatever regulators thought they were doing, the effect has been to increase the number of rules and regulations enormously.
Two years ago, the House Financial Services Committee issued a report showing that Dodd-Frank had produced more than 5,300 pages of rules and was only halfway to completing its regulatory checklist. Compliance, one representative estimated, would require 24 million hours of work annually.
Standard and Poor's in 2012 estimated that complying with Dodd-Frank would cost the eight largest financial institutions in the country between $22 billion and $34 billion annually.
Now, four years after the law's passage, any firm that works in high finance is potentially subject to new rules, oversight and fees.
The international Financial Stability Board, a creation of the world's 20 largest economies, issues recommendations regarding what it considers SIFIs (systematically important financial institutions).
U.S. firms designated as SIFIs are then prime candidates for closer scrutiny by financial regulators here, who are pushing to have such firms subjected to the strictest regimes of regulation.
Banks, brokers, asset managers, hedge funds, securities managers � in short, anyone who deals with large sums of money � may soon see a portion of their revenues siphoned off either in the form of taxes and fees or to meet the costs of complying with new rules.
The question, of course, is whether the new layers of red tape will mean a safer, more equitable financial system in this country, or simply create new bureaucracies while slowing growth.
Our fear is that in their zeal to protect Americans from all harm, regulators will wind up quashing the entrepreneurial spirit that is an essential part of the financial sector.
Capitalism works wonders, but cannot be divorced from risk. And failure, however large and however painful, is an essential part of the process by which our economy allocates resources for the greater good.
There is no such thing as a simple, clear-cut guide to determining the value, utility, and wisdom � or lack thereof � contained in any particular regulation. The best Americans can do is pay attention to what lawmakers and the unelected rulemakers are doing in Washington, and speak out when they see costs that outweigh benefits.

"John said they were excellent."
Review for Town & Country Toyota Body Shop
John X. on 03/22/2012
Spoke with Arepon. Arepon said Justin was really nice. The quality of the repair service was wonderful. Arepon said she was completely satisfied with the way they were treated and the communication with the business, except for 1 issue. When her dad, John was speaking with a representative, the representative wasn't very patient. Arepon stated her dad doesn't speak English very well, and he felt the representative rushed him through the process. Otherwise, they were nice, and it was fine. Arepon stated the business could serve them better by providing a free gift when they purchase a vehicle at the business. They are loyal Toyota customers, and it would be better advertising for the company. She would like a t-shirt with the Toyota logo.

Aidan O'Brien's stranglehold on the ante-post market for the first Classic of next season was strengthened further on Saturday as Churchill shortened in the market after a comfortable victory in the Dewhurst.
As big as 3/1 in the week leading up to Saturday's Group 1, bookmakers reacted to Churchill's romp by hardening the son of Galileo to as short as 6/4 in places for May's Classic.
O'Brien, who in landing Saturday's prize was securing his 20th worldwide Group One Flat race of the year, said of the winner: "They went a sensible pace. He settled in there and quickened down into the dip.
"It got a little bit messy after the two [furlong marker] but Ryan guided him through and produced him lovely, so we're over the moon.
"Physically he's a very imposing horse. He's probably a more imposing two-year-old than we've ever trained.
"He has a great mind and relaxes and sleeps. He just does the minimum, which is brilliant. He's a great traveller and the qualities are there in abundance.
"Anyone that has had anything to do with him gets that special feeling from him - that's very special when that happens.
"We've always viewed him as a miler, but that's not to say he won't get further. He's so relaxed and laid-back and when he came in (to the winner's enclosure) he wasn't even blowing. He's very economical as a galloper - he saves everything."
Jockey Ryan Moore who has ridden the 2yo on all but one of his 6 starts to date said after the race: "He was always going to win. He's a very, very good colt. It wasn't as evenly-run as it should have been, but this lad has got an awful lot in his favour.
"There's not a lot he can't do. When I ask him, he always finds. He's definitely a Guineas horse. I think he'll get better."
Churchill was O'Brien's fifth Dewhurst winner, but surprisingly only one of the previous four has gone on to land the 2000 Guineas the following year - Rock Of Gibraltar back in 2002.

The pattern suggests one man: serial killer Warren Hoyt, recently removed from the city's streets. Police can only assume an acolyte is at large, a maniac basing his attacks on the twisted medical techniques of the madman he so admires. At least that's what Detective Jane Rizzoli thinks. Forced again to confront the killer who scarred her (literally and figuratively) she is determined to finally end Hoyt's awful influence...even if it means receiving more resistance from her all-male homicide squad.
But Rizzoli isn't counting on the U.S. government's sudden interest. Or on meeting Special Agent Gabriel Dean, who knows more than he will tell. Most of all, she isn't counting on becoming a target herself, once Hoyt is suddenly free, joining his mysterious blood brother in a vicious vendetta...
Filled with superbly created characters (and the medical and police procedural details that are her trademark), The Apprentice is Tess Gerritsen at her brilliant best. Set in a stunning world where evil is easy to learn and hard to end, this is a thriller by a master who could teach other authors a thing or two.

"suspenseful intrigue and great listening
it was a good thriller. Held my attention. Tess is a very good writer
I would recommend
"Was this abridged?"
careful if selecting from the "Next in the series" list... I don't recall sing that this was abridged, but it was much shorter than I expected.
"Great book/author"
Really enjoyed this book; fast paced/unexpected-suspensful twists- really like this author; never a boring moment

PARIS, Nov. 30 — For sale: history, with a view.
France is selling dozens of historic properties in Paris and the provinces, using the proceeds to move government bureaucrats into less expensive properties and to help pay off the national debt.
So far it has unloaded dozens of chateaus, villas and "hôtels particuliers," the stone mansions of Paris's golden age. Foreigners, primarily American pension funds and private equity firms, are the biggest buyers so far. For all their Gallic pride, the French seem happy to have anyone take the properties off the hands of taxpayers.
"All the locations are great, and they are all beautiful pieces of real estate," said Eric E. Sasson, European head of real estate for the Carlyle Group, the global private equity firm that has bought several properties.
Soon on the block will be the Hôtel Majestic, once a huge luxury hotel in central Paris that Hitler seized for his military government headquarters in occupied France. France's foreign ministry took over the building after the war and used it for diplomacy: The Paris peace accords ending the Vietnam War were signed in its chandeliered ballroom.
France is overburdened with its opulent patrimony. The state has more castles, manors and monumental buildings than it knows what to do with, and can hardly afford to maintain them properly. The country already spends 2 billion to 3 billion euros ($2.65 billion to $4 billion) a year to maintain its properties.Continue reading the main story
It has transferred some property, along with the headache of upkeep, to provincial governments. Work on hundreds of other sites has been suspended for lack of funds. France is not alone. All over Europe, countries are struggling to maintain the Roman, medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, neo-Classical, belle époque and Art Deco architecture they have been left.
Britain uses 18.7 percent of its national lottery revenue to shore up the country's old edifices. The Italian government created a publicly listed real estate fund to hold much of its patrimony and now leases back the buildings.
Because they are merely users, not owners, France's individual ministries have had little incentive to spend on periodic renovations. When budgets get tight, building maintenance gets cut. The result is worn interiors and crumbling facades.
The gothic Saint-Jacques Tower in the Fourth Arrondissement of Paris has been covered with scaffolding and sheeting for years, in part awaiting money to finish its refurbishment. Other buildings are maintained on the outside but are a wreck on the inside.
"There are castles in the Loire that are practically in ruin," said Jean-Louis Dumont, a Socialist parliament member.
So acute is the crisis that in September, the prime minister of France, Dominique de Villepin, pledged 70 million euros ($92 million) a year in emergency funds to help cover the most critical work of keeping France's heritage from falling down.
The government, meanwhile, has embarked on a program to sell some of the buildings now used by its ministries. According to a 2006 government study, the state holds more than $50 billion worth of property, not including those buildings considered priceless, like Notre Dame. About $20 billion of the state-owned property is used for government offices. The Finance Ministry concedes that its valuation of the properties may be "slightly below the market."
It has already sold buildings worth a total of more than $1.6 billion, including more than $800 million last year. Daniel Dubost, the finance ministry official overseeing the property sales, expects the program to continue at the current pace for years.
"Eventually we'll fall to a more normal rhythm," he said in his office in the ministry's modern and austere building in the unfashionable 12th Arrondissement on the edge of Paris. "But we're not ready to stop the rhythm of at least 500 million euros a year."
Most of the money from the sales reverts to the ministry that last had control of the property, but 15 percent of the proceeds flows to the state to help pay down France's national debt. Some critics say that the government does not offer enough information or advertise widely enough to get the best price.
Not every one is happy with the sales. The French research center Institut Montaigne criticized the program last year in a report that said the state was selling "at the whim of the market, without a medium or long-term vision of the management of its patrimony."
Opposition politicians worry how the money raised will be spent. "These are the family jewels and once they're sold, they're gone," Mr. Dumont warned. "We must be rigorous in making sure the money raised is used effectively."
The state has sold 10 Parisian hôtels particuliers, the 18th- and 19th-century mansions that once housed the French aristocracy, in the last two years — a rapid pace unheard-of for the kinds of property that normally come up for sale at most one or two times a year. Currently for sale are the outbuildings and second courtyard of the Hôtel de Noirmoutier, one of two great works by the 18th-century architect Jean Courtonne. His other masterpiece is the Hôtel Matignon, where France's prime minister lives.
Bidders must put down a sizable deposit and the government reserves the right to withdraw anything that fails to attract an adequate bid, as happened last year with a 17th-century abbey the Justice Ministry had been using as a reform school.
Once a building is sold, the ministry has three years to vacate the premises, and it must pay rent to the new owner during that time.
Mr. Dubost's team picks properties to sell that are too valuable to justify their current use or are not compatible with their function.
One of the most glaring examples, he said, is the Ministry of Culture's division for music, dance, theater and shows, which occupies a splendid hôtel particulier in the Seventh Arrondissement. The gated mansion, registered as a historic monument, is one of seven properties that Parliament has tried to get the Ministry of Culture to give up.
It was built in 1770 and owned by the Hungarian aristocrat, Marie Leopoldine Palffy, known by her title Princess Kinsky. She was the mistress of Louis XV's foreign minister, the Duke of Choiseul, and lived in the mansion until her death in 1794.
The property passed through several prestigious hands after that before it was bought by the banker, Louis Louis-Dreyfus (great-granduncle of the actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus of "Seinfeld" fame).
Along with many Jewish-owned properties, the Hôtel Kinsky, as it has come to be called, was seized by the Germans during World War II. The French state became its owner after the war and the writer André Malraux took control of the building when he became minister of culture in the 1960s.
The ministerial bureaucrat in charge of the building occupies an immense office on the ground floor with a grand piano and French doors opening onto a terrace and lawn ending at a fountain and trees. Princess Kinsky's portrait can still be seen in a mural that adorns the ceiling.
But most of the building has deteriorated into a drab affair. A dirty, red industrial carpet covers the lobby and hallways. Still the bureaucrats are not happy about having to leave. "For 15 days you have been sending lawyers and architects and Saudi emirs," sputtered a man in a black suit in the lobby of the mansion when a finance ministry official arrived with a reporter. "We've had enough."
The buyer is rumored to be a member of the Saudi royal family.
Only a few other properties have been sold to individuals. The French billionaire Vincent Bolloré paid 10 million euros for a town house facing the Bois de Boulogne that once belonged to the aristocratic Noailles family. A few villas on the Côte d'Azur are expected to go to Russian billionaires.
But the biggest buyers are foreign private equity and pension funds, looking for long-term investments or perhaps short-term capital gains.
Last year, the New York-based Westbrook Partners bought an Art Deco office building near La Madeleine, Napoleon's neo-Classical church in the heart of Paris.
The Carlyle Group paid 165 million euros ($217 million) for a 215,000-square-foot belle époque building on the Rue du Bac, in the heart of the most chic quarter of Paris.
The building, in the style favored by the city planner Georges-Eugène Haussmann, incorporates two older hôtels particuliers. One was the home of Jean-Jacques Régis de Cambacérès, a French statesman, and author of the Napoleonic Code that underpins French law today.
Much of the mansion is in disrepair, its parquet floors worn and weathered, its murals stripped or painted over, its intricately carved woodwork broken or missing.
Mr. Sasson of the Carlyle Group said the new owners planned to turn the main Rue du Bac building and one of the hôtel particuliers into luxury stores and upscale offices.
Many investors buy with only a vague idea of how they will use the property, and the finance ministry says the government does not care.
"They won't have the right to destroy it, or paint it red, or build a tower in the garden," said one official at the Ministry of Finance, who could not be named because of ministry rules. "But they can use it for a bordello as long as they obey zoning laws."Continue reading the main story

La Jetée
Chris Marker's La Jetée is one of the most influential, radical science-fiction films ever made, a tale of time travel told in still images.
One of the most influential, radical science-fiction films ever made and a mind-bending free-form travelogue: La Jetée and Sans Soleil couldn't seem more different—but they're the twin pillars of an unparalleled and uncompromising career in cinema. A filmmaker, poet, novelist, photographer, editor, and now videographer and digital multimedia artist, Chris Marker has been challenging moviegoers, philosophers, and himself for years with his investigations of time, memory, and the rapid advancement of life on this planet. These two films—a tale of time travel told in still images and a journey to Africa and Japan—remain his best-loved and most widely seen.
Chris Marker's La Jetée is one of the most influential, radical science-fiction films ever made, a tale of time travel told in still images.
A complex journey into time and memory, Chris Marker's mind-bending free-form travelogue roams from Africa to Japan, guided by associative editing and an unnamed narrator.
"La Jetee is a brilliant short - with Chris Marker proving a film with just photos can be as powerful as most films with moving images...great film."
"I got Vertigo...La Jetee is such a different film that no one will ever be able to duplicate it. 12 Monkeys has got nothing on this."
"Two great films exploring the limits of time, space, and cinema by one of its best kept secrets, Chris Marker."
"La Jetee blew me away the first time, and taught me to break storytelling down to images."
"They begin again. The man doesn't die, nor does he go mad. He suffers. They continue."

error having muultiple values in one database field
I have a query I am just starting...but have already run into a problem
Select 'test, ' as module,
(Select title + ' '
From test_documents) as text_text
From test_table
So there are multiple rows in the test_document table and I want ALL of those to be in test_text.
So...I want test_text to look like:
title1 title2 title3
I am using it as text to be indexed and searched.
Thanks sooo much for any ideas!!!

I'm not sure that I understand what you're asking. If you are trying to create a table with multiple values in a single column, that is a really, REALLY bad thing to do! If you are trying to create a cross-tab query that builds a list of the values in some column for all of the rows that meet some condition, that is better done on the client, although it can be done in the database too.
Can you give us a better "real world" description of what you are trying to do, that will probably help more than anything.

I basically am trying to make a View...that I will use for searching....
those titles : title1 title2 title3
would be in one column named search_text
that will be indexed by my search...
I know that when I run my scheduled file to index I could do some code there to combine all the fields....just wanted the smalles amount of processing time as indexing takes long enough.
so basically if the user searches any of those title names...it would bring up one result ...

declare @string varchar(1000)
select @string = ''
select @string = rtrim(@string) + [Your_Column] + ','
from [Your_Table]
select substring( @string, 1, len(@string) - 1)
This works.....then I can just can do another select with my other fields and it works great

Conditions for recovery of sparse signals correlated by local transforms
This paper addresses the problem of correct recovery of multiple sparse correlated signals using distributed thresholding. We consider the scenario where multiple sensors capture the same event, but observe different signals that are correlated by local transforms of their sparse components. In this context, the signals do not necessarily have the same sparse support, but instead the support of one signal is built on local transformations of the atoms in the sparse support of another signal. We establish the sufficient condition for the correct recovery of such correlated signals using independent thresholding of the multiple signals. The validity of the derived recovery condition is confirmed by experimental results in noiseless and noisy scenarios.

Vice President Biden praised the late Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) as "the quintessential American" at an arrival ceremony for the senator's body at the Capitol Rotunda on Thursday.
"Each and every American who has been granted the honor accorded to Danny today, they have been granted it because they possessed a particular quality that we view as uniquely American," Biden said.
The vice president went on to praise Inouye, who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his service during World War II, saying he was consistently amazed by the senator's disposition, despite the harsh injuries he suffered in battle. He also noted the prejudice that Inouye, the nation's first Japanese-American senator, faced with determination.
"For all Danny had come through, from the sting of prejudice to his physical injuries, to the depravations he suffered, to the losses he had, he would have been forgiven by all who knew him if he had an edge to him. If there was a tinge of bitterness, a touch of cynicism in his heart. He would have been forgiven for that," Biden said. "But the amazing thing to me was, there was none."
Biden complemented Inouye as having "the most fulsome embrace of life with one arm than any man or woman could have with two."
But the vice president also praised the late senator's public service. Inouye represented Hawaii in the Senate for 50 of the 53 years since the state was admitted to the Union, and served as its first House member prior to that.
"Engagement in politics, being a member in Congress, can and should be the most honorable profession of all," Biden said. "Danny made me proud to be a senator."
Biden appeared at the ceremony with other top congressional leaders, including House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (R-Calif.).
Inouye died Monday at Walter Reed Medical Center after a short fight with respiratory illness. He was 88.

Today is one of those days where I have ten million things to do after being completely lazy, having fun in the sun over the long holiday weekend. I"m feeling slightly depressed because I think I've just come to the realization that it's September which means that summer is pretty much over. Noooooooo! :( Above is a collage of photos from the weekend, Hollywood, Venice, Malibu etc. I'm always looking for cool new wall art. It really makes the best backdrops for photos. Just a typical beach outfit… this shirt I wore before here but I decided to cut it because it was too long. I'm really loving red shorts and pants right now as well. This week is going to be crazy busy, going to Nasty Gal/ Soho House fashion's night out party tonight and then of course FNO on Thursday. Maybe NY this weekend. We'll see.
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend! XO
P.s. I'll announce the winner of the RayBan giveaway on my FB and Twitter tonight.

A NEW Tesco superstore will provide at least 200 jobs in the Swansea Valley - but they could come at a cost.
Consultants have warned that the proposed development at Alltwen, Pontardawe, could put 138 Somerfield jobs at risk in the area.
They said, "The trade impact of the proposed Tesco store will be such that it will impact upon the viability of the Somerfield store.
"Therefore, the level of jobs that will be delivered should be considered in the context of the number of jobs that are likely to be displaced."
But Tesco argues that wages and salaries are likely to inject £2m into the local economy while the store will also benefit suppliers and local businesses which provide a range of goods and support services.
Neath Port Talbot Council's planning department is recommending planning consent with conditions after the authority originally referred the application - which also includes provision for a petrol filling station and a drive-through restaurant - to the National Assembly.
The Assembly has decided not to "call in" the application.
Councillors will be told today that it is considered the proposal will "not cause any material harm".
If anything, it will "directly assist in the realisation of the widely-acknowledged need to bring forward the regeneration and beneficial use of a brownfield site at the 'gateway' to Pontardawe."

Have you had them? So good!
No but I'll be looking for them next time im there!
I can't believe no one told me about the knockoff Girl Scout cookies-I guess I'll have to go back now!
I really should have found some sort of beginner's guide to Aldi before I went, huh? Don't worry, you're laughing with me, not at me. It was really funny, even then.I'm always up for a new adventure and trying new things-I need to catch up on these challenges!
Is this not a normal thing in the US? Most of the grocery stores I've been to lock their carts, and they take a loonie ($1 coin) to unlock, not $0.25!
Most of the time I find a kid in the parking lot willing to take my cart back and he/she can keep the quarter. I phrase it that they are doing a job for me and the quarter is their pay. Setting up future generations of hustlers I guess.
We made a list of all our groceries, then went to the store and priced them per ounce. Then we went home and compared it to Amazon. Most things are about even, but there are some things that are significantly cheaper when ordering from Amazon. And since we have Prime already, no shipping!
Man, I'm glad you mentioned ordering food from Amazon. This is something I think more people should look into.
It sounds so strange to order food online and have it delivered, but it's becoming more and more normal, especially for non-perishable items.
For me, there's a stigma attached to ordering food online. It's just a mental thing, it doesn't make sense when you think about it. If you can order books and household items, why not cereal, flour, mustard, rice milk??
I'm gonna take another look. Thanks!
Cut to the chase..Isn't it as simple as withdrawing the 1/2 amount in cash and this is all you have to spend for the month?

|America is handing the region to Iran instead of arming the Kurds to defeat IS
|Written by Administrator
|Friday, 10 October 2014 22:14
"You can lead them to water, but you can't make them drink." After having its "head" dunked in the truth of Islamism, the Obama Administration seems to prefer to drown in its failed anti-Bush pacifism.
Everyone knows the most reliably pro-American military in the Syria-Iraq region is the Peshmerga, yet American arms have not been provided to these Kurds, nor has their justified nationalist aspiration been acknowledged, let alone endorsed.
Instead, America is handing the region to Iran (enhancing its nuclear ambitions), accommodating resurrected Turkish dreams of a worldwide caliphate (transcending its "sultanate"), and failing to enlist necessary support from Wahhabist Saudi Arabia (reinforcing its ideological outreach). Indeed, America can't find anyone to provide the "boots on the ground" that can begin to match the burgeoning Islamic Army, threatening to conquer the American Homeland… and everything in between.
Lame excuses for inaction advanced by Obama's spokespeople are easily exposed; for example, they failed to ensure that the Continuing (Funding) Resolution passed last week would allow direct support for Erbil without first transiting Baghdad. Again, ideology ("We must not undermine the new 'unity' government") shrouds intent and pays lip-service to the legitimate, urgent needs of one of the diminishing number of unabashedly pro-American fighting forces.
The vacuum displacing a relatively tranquil Pax Americana is predictably and rapidly being filled by both Sunni and Shiite Islamists, and Kurdistan finds itself in the cross fire.
Tehran wants to immortalize a Shiite Crescent (Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon), Ankara wants to sever it with Sunnis (multi-national Arabs and non-Arab Ottomans), and Riyadh wants to stir the pot just enough to foment insurrection, but not enough to allow the Kingdom to be threatened. Geopolitical lines are thereby crossed as these aspirations are being fulfilled, while Kurdistan (joining Israel, to a degree) serves as an irritant, a stubborn target for those harboring far greater aspirations.
Each of these countries has attempted to manipulate Kurdistan via political alliances that serve only to undermine the legitimate aspirations of the populace - self-determination, either as an independent state or as a quasi-independent federated-region. In the mean time, 30-40 million Kurds struggle for survival.
Instead of helping Kurds, who are ready to do America's bidding, Obama aspires to let the Free Syrian Army decide which "moderates" should receive armaments and year-long training in Saudi Arabia (costing American taxpayers $1 billion). Is Obama enamored of Saudi oil?
Instead of helping Kurds, who desperately need American support, Obama is acceding to Turkey's rapprochement with the Islamic State, most recently having absented itself from America's nascent "alliance of the unwilling" in return for release of 49 Turkish hostages. Is Obama pro-Brotherhood?
Instead of helping Kurds, after more than 60 villages and towns in Syrian Kurdistan have fallen to the Islamic State, Obama is receding from opposing Assad (propped up by Rouhani and Putin), hoping that Syrian air defenses (yet to be degraded) won't block Allied bombers. Is Obama a genocide-appeaser?
Kurds eagerly and valiantly defend Western civilization against Muslims who continue fighting the Crusades; they may be a millennium remote chronologically, but they remain zealots hungry to avenge the 1683 defeat of Islam outside the gates of Vienna.
Demography is rapidly changing, as Kurds are increasingly subject to ethnic cleansing; if defeated, Kurds would be forcibly resettled out of Syria and thereby lose their distinctive identity for, already, a million refugees have relocated, replaced by pro-Assad Shi'ite/Alawite Arabs. Sporadic air-support (recalling the Yazidi plight) is grossly insufficient against the Islamic State. Yet, inexplicably, Obama has even failed to ensure other Arab nations (plus his Turkish pal, Erdoğan) and opposition groups (plus other countries, worldwide) condemn the Islamists' anti-Kurd acts.
Political groups petitioning for support must have "clean hands." Thus, elements of the Free Syrian Army seeking allied arms must pass the litmus-test of supporting Kurds, for most are allied with the Muslim Brotherhood or al-Qaida. Unlike stateless-Kurdistan, pro- and anti-Assad entities are merely struggling for power. Therefore, America must provide military, political and humanitarian assistance to Kurdistan urgently, empowering it to lead a coalition of ignored minorities.
Dr. Sherkoh Abbas (President of the Kurdistan National Assembly of Syria) and Dr. Robert Sklaroff (a physician-activist) have co-written essays during the past half-decade advocating for an independent Kurdistan.

Part 1: OS X 10.11 El Capitan Web Development Environment
Developing web applications on OS X is a real joy. There are plenty of options for setting up your development environments, including the ever-popular MAMP Pro that provides a nice UI on top of Apache,PHP and MySQL. However, there are times when MAMP Pro has slow downs, or out of date versions, or is simply behaving badly due to its restrictive system of configuration templates and non-standard builds.
It is times like these that people often look for an alternative approach, and luckily there is one, and it is relatively straight-forward to setup.
In this blog post, we will walk you through setting up and configuring the OS X built-in Apache and multiple PHP versions. In the second blog post in this two-post series, we will cover MySQL, Apache virtual hosts,APC caching, and Xdebug installation.
This post was updated 10/22/2015 to reflect OS X 10.11 El Capitan rather than OS X 10.10 Yosemite. If you had this setup working with OS X 10.10 Yosemite, and have upgraded to 10.11 El Capitan, you will need to perform the
httpd.conf changes again as the upgrade process overwrites the file. Also you will have to fix homebrew as outlined below as permissions on
/usr/local directory are modified in such a way that brew will not working 100%.
This guide is intended for experienced web developers. If you are a beginner developer, you will be better served using MAMP or MAMP Pro.
Apache Setup
OS X 10.11 El Capitan comes with the Apache 2.4 pre-installed, but there is no longer a Web Sharingpreference pane in the System Preferences.
Not to fret! A simple Web sharing preference pane is available from clickontyler.com. This is a scaled down free version of the more powerful VirtualHostX. VirtualHostX is a pretty UI for controlling Apache, but you don't really need it.
Another approach is simply to use the provided
apachectl command from your terminal. Using the terminal is a pretty scary prospect for many people, but there's no need to fear it.
To start up the web server, simply bring up the Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal) and type:
$ sudo apachectl start
To stop apache you would type:
$ sudo apachectl stop
To restart apache when you have made configuration changes, simply type:
$ sudo apachectl -k restart
-k will force a restart immediately rather than asking politely to restart when apache is good and ready
So start Apache now, and then try to reach your server in a browser by pointing it at your localhost, you should see a simple header that says It works!.
If you cannot reach your site via
http://localhost you might need to add an alias in your
/etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost. It should exist by default.
Document Root
The first thing we will want to do is to change the document root for Apache. This is the folder where Apache looks to serve file from. By default, the document root is configured as
/Library/WebServer/Documents. As this is a development machine, let's assume we want to change the document root to point to a folder in our own home directory. To do this, we will need to edit Apache's configuration file.
You can use whatever command line editor you are comfortable with, just realize this is a
root-ownedfolder so you will need to use
sudo to be able to edit and save the file. I prefer to use Sublime Text 3with the commandline command
subl, others will probably prefer
vi but If you have never used a command line editor, try
$ sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
Search for the term
DocumentRoot, and you should see the following line:
DocumentRoot "/Library/WebServer/Documents"
Change this to point to your user directory where
your_user is the name of your user account:
DocumentRoot "/Users/your_user/Sites"
You also need to change the
<Directory> tag reference right below the DocumentRoot line. This should also be changed to point to your new document root also:
<Directory "/Users/your_user/Sites">
In that same
<Directory> block you will find an
AllowOverride setting, this should be changed as follows:
AllowOverride All
User & Group
Now we have the Apache configuration pointing to a
Sites folder in our home directory. One problem still exists, however. By default, apache runs as the user
_www and group
_www. This will cause permission problems when trying to access files in our home directory. About a third of the way down the
httpd.conf file there are two settings to set the
User and
Group Apache will run under. Change these to match your user account (replace
your_user with your real username), with a group of
User your_user
Group staff
PHP 7.0 Additional Changes
Although this is not needed for PHP 5.X, it is needed for PHP 7.0 and as we cover that below it's safer to just add it now. So scroll down until you see something like:
<FilesMatch "^\.([Hh][Tt]|[Dd][Ss]_[Ss])">
Require all denied
Below this paste the following:
<FilesMatch \.php$>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
Also you must set the Directory Indexes for PHP explicitly, so search for this block:
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.html
and replace it with this:
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
Save the file.
Create a Sites Folder
Of course you will now need to restart your Apache with
sudo apachectl restart to pick up the changes you just made to the configuration file.
Now, you need to create a
Sites folder in the root of your home directory. You can do this in your terminal, or in Finder. In this new
Sites folder create a simple
index.html and put some dummy content in it like:

My User Web Root
.
$ mkdir ~/Sites
$ echo "
My User Web Root
" > ~/Sites/index.html
Restart apache to ensure your configuration changes have taken effect:
$ sudo apachectl -k restart
Pointing your browser to
http://localhost should display your new message. If you have that working, we can move on!
This process relies heavily on the OS X package manager called Homebrew. Using the
brew command you can easily add powerful functionality to your mac.
Xcode 7.1 and the Command Line Tools are required so make sure you install Xcode via the Mac App Store first. Launch Xcode and agree to the Terms and Conditions, then install the Command Line Tools with this command:
xcode-select --install
The full installation documentation can be found on the Homebrew Wiki, but we will cover the essentials. Install the homebrew with the following command in your terminal:
$ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Just follow the terminal prompts and enter your password where required. This may take a few minutes, but when complete, a quick way to ensure you have installed
brew correctly, simply type:
$ brew --version
You should probably also run the following command to ensure everything is configured correctly:
$ brew doctor
It will instruct you if you need to correct anything.
If you had this setup working previously with OS X 10.10 Yosemite and have upgraded to 10.11 El Capitan, you will get an error concerning the permissions on
/usr/local due to new SIP changes in El Capitan. To address this simply run:
sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /usr/local
If you already have brew installed, make sure you have the all the latest available brews:
$ brew update
Now you are ready to brew!
Install PHP 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0
Now we have HomeBrew installed it is a simple procedure to install PHP. We will proceed by installing bothPHP 5.4, PHP 5.5, PHP 5.6, and PHP 7.0 and using a simple script to switch between them as we need. First though we have to
tap into the PHP formulas and run the following commands.
You can get a full list of available options to include by typing
brew info php54, for example. In this example we are just including MySQL support (required for Joomla, WordPress, etc.)
$ brew tap homebrew/dupes
$ brew tap homebrew/versions
$ brew tap homebrew/homebrew-php
$ brew install php54
$ brew unlink php54
$ brew install php55
$ brew unlink php55
$ brew install php56
$ brew unlink php56
$ brew install php70
Of course you can choose which versions to install. You many not need all the PHP versions listed above.
This may take some time as your computer is actually compiling Apache.
NOTE: If you get an error during compilation:
configure: error: Cannot find OpenSSL's <evp.h> you need to reinstall your Xcode command line tools with:
xcode-select --install
Also, you may have the need to tweak configuration settings of PHP to your needs. A common thing to change is the memory setting, or the
date.timezone configuration. The
php.ini files for each version of PHP are located in the following directories:
Apache Setup
You have successfully installed your PHP versions, but we need to tell Apache to use them. You will again need to edit the
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf file and search for
#LoadModule php5_module. You will notice that this is line is commented out. We can ignore it because this is pointing to the version of PHP that came with OS X. Below the other
LoadModule lines, add this:
# Brew PHP LoadModule
LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/opt/php54/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so
This will tell Apache to use PHP 5.4 to handle PHP requests. We will add the ability to switch PHP versions later.
You should also take this time to uncomment the
mod_rewrite.so module definition so that it will be available:
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/apache2/mod_rewrite.so
Let's restart Apache again, now that we have installed PHP:
$ sudo apachectl restart
Validating PHP Installation
The best way to test if PHP is installed and running as expected is to make use of phpinfo(). This is not something you want to leave on a production machine, but it's invaluable in a development environment.
Simply create a file called
info.php in your
Sites/ folder you created earlier. In that file, just enter the line:
<?php phpinfo();
Point your browser to
http://localhost/info.php and you should see a shiny PHP information page:
If you see a similar phpinfo result, congratulations! You now have Apache and PHP running successfully.
PHP Switcher Script
We hard-coded Apache to use PHP 5.4, but we really want to be able to switch between versions. Luckily, some industrious individual has already done the hard work for us and written a very handy little PHP switcher script.
It is useful to have a your own local
bin folder in your home directory. We will create one and setup the
sphp script:
$ mkdir -p ~/bin/
$ curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/conradkleinespel/sphp-osx/master/sphp > ~/bin/sphp
$ chmod +x ~/bin/sphp
Update Your Path
Now we want to ensure this script is easily found when we are in the terminal, so we need add our
/Users/your_user/bin directory to our path, as well as putting HomeBrew's preferred
/usr/local/sbin before OS X's default
/usr/bin folder. Depending on your shell your using, you may need to add this line to
~/.bash_profile, or
We will assume you are using the default bash shell, so add this line to a your
.profile (create it if it doesn't exist) file at the root of your user directory:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH:/Users/your_user/bin
Replace your_user with your actual user account. E.g.
At this point, I strongly recommend closing ALL your terminal tabs and windows. This will mean opening a new terminal to continue with the next step. This is strongly recommended because some really strange path issues can arise with existing terminals (trust me, I have seen it!).
You can double-check and ensure your path has been updated to put the
/usr/local paths first with the following command:
$ echo $PATH
Apache Setup – Take 2
Although we configured Apache to use PHP earlier, we now need to change this again to point the PHP module to a location used by the PHP switcher script. You will again need to edit the
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf file and search for the
Brew PHP text that you added earlier. Edit the
LoadModule line, to this:
# Brew PHP LoadModule for `sphp` switcher
LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/lib/libphp5.so
#LoadModule php7_module /usr/local/lib/libphp7.so
It is important that you remove all other commented out
LoadModule php5_module entries at this point or it will confuse the
sphp switcher. Also the Commented out line for
php7_module is important and required if you are installing PHP7 as it uses a unique PHP module handler.
IMPORTANT: Switch to your PHP 5.4 version with the
sphp switch command :
$ sphp 54
PHP version 54 found
Unlinking old binaries...
Linking new binaries...
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/php54/5.4.45_3... 17 symlinks created
Linking new modphp addon...
Fixing LoadModule...
Updating version file...
Restarting system Apache...
Testing the PHP Switching
After you have completed these steps, you should be able to switch your php version by using the command:
$ sphp 55
You will probably have to enter your administrator password, and it should give you some feedback:
PHP version 55 found
Unlinking old binaries...
Linking new binaries...
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/php55/5.5.30... 17 symlinks created
Linking new modphp addon...
Fixing LoadModule...
Updating version file...
Restarting system Apache...
Test to see if your Apache is now running PHP 5.5 by again pointing your browser to
http://localhost/info.php. With a little luck, you should see something like this:
Updating PHP and other Brew Packages
Brew makes it super easy to update PHP and the other packages you install. The first step is to update Brew so that it gets a list of available updates:
$ brew update
This will spit out a list of available updates, and any deleted formulas. To upgrade the packages simply type:
$ brew upgrade
You will need to switch to each of your installed PHP versions and run update again to get updates for each PHP version and ensure you are running the version of PHP you intend.
Activating Specific/Latest PHP Versions
Due to the way our PHP linking is set up, only one version of PHP is linked at a time, only the current activeversion of PHP will be updated to the latest version. You can see the current active version by typing:
$ php -v
And you can see the specific versions of PHP available by typing:
$ brew info php55
homebrew/php/php55: stable 5.5.30 (bottled), HEAD
Conflicts with: php53, php54, php56, php70
/usr/local/Cellar/php55/5.5.28 (498 files, 51M)
Poured from bottle
/usr/local/Cellar/php55/5.5.29_3 (327 files, 49M)
Poured from bottle
/usr/local/Cellar/php55/5.5.30 (327 files, 49M)
Poured from bottle
You will see all the versions of PHP 5.5 brew has available and then you can switch to a specific version by typing:
$ brew switch php55 5.5.28
OK, that wraps up Part 1 of this 3 part series You now have a fully functional Apache 2.4 installation with a quick-and-easy way to toggle between PHP 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, and 7.0. Check out Part 2 to find out how to setup your environment with MySQL, Virtual Hosts, APC caching, YAML, and Xdebug.

I've stayed away from posting on the Whole Foods – Wild Oats merger and the FTC's lawsuit to block the deal. For one thing, I'm a Whole Foods shareholder, having bought after their most recent quarter when WFMI stock finally dropped to attractive levels. For another, I'm in general agreement with the consensus that the FTC is out to lunch on its view that the relevant market in which Whole Foods competes is a narrowly-defined category of natural foods stores, and I haven't had a whole lot to add.
However, I have a theory about why the FTC filed its lawsuit, and today's revelations bolster my view. I shop at Whole Foods, but I don't care about getting organic carrots; I appreciate the food quality and the aesthetic of shopping there. Like most others jostling through the cheese aisle at the Redmond Whole Foods, I don't shop there exclusively. Within a few miles there is competition on the low end from Albertson's and Fred Meyer, at the mid-point from recently remodeled QFC and Safeway, and local stores like Larry's and PCC (PCC, an 8-store Seattle chain, is, for all the world, like a mini Whole Foods). All of these grocers have expanded their organic and gourmet foods offerings while also enhancing the whole "shopping experience." Just about everyone gets this – including, I believe, the FTC.
So who doesn't get it? Whole Foods. As documents unsealed today show, WFMI's CEO believed the merger with Wild Oats would prevent a price war. Huh? If Whole Foods competes with all groceries – as everyone believes, and Whole Foods is now trumpeting to all who will listen - what's the rationale for buying Wild Oats in the first place? Does it really help them expand faster? How does acquiring smaller-formal stores that WFMI plans to close or relocate help them expand geographically? Why not just grow organically, as they've done so well for the last decade?
So, the merger never made a whole lot of sense to me, and my theory is that it didn't make sense to the FTC, either – except as an attempt to take out a competitor (which is not, in itself, a reason to bar a merger). However, any such attempt doesn't even appear to be rational, given the widening of WFMI's competitive market. Three years ago, it might have cleared the field nationally for Whole Foods. Today, they're just buying up a second-tier competitor in a crowded marketplace.
Whole Foods is working off of yesterday's playbook, and the FTC is probably going overboard because it found some unfortunately-worded documents. The ironic thing is that the antitrust authorities may well end up protecting Whole Foods from a value-destroying merger by killing the thing in court.

Set in California's lush Napa Valley and spanning four generations of a talented and visionary family, The House of Mondavi is a tale of genius, sibling rivalry, and betrayal. From 1906, when Italian immigrant Cesare Mondavi passed through Ellis Island, to the Robert Mondavi Corporation's 21st-century battle over a billion-dollar fortune, award-winning journalist Julia Flynn Siler brings to life both the place and the people in this riveting family drama. The blood feuds are as spectacular as the business triumphs. Cesare's sons, Robert and Peter, literally came to blows in the 1960s during a dispute touched off by the purchase of a mink coat, resulting in Robert's exile from the family - and his subsequent founding of a winery that would set off a revolution in American winemaking. Robert's sons, Michael and Timothy, as passionate in their own ways as their visionary father, waged battles with each other for control of the company before Michael's expansive ambitions ultimately led to a board coup and the sale of the business to an international conglomerate. A meticulously reported narrative based on thousands of hours of interviews, The House of Mondavi is bound to become a classic.More
"The House of Mondavi's cast rivals that of the 1980s wine-country melodrama Falcon Crest, with episodes of sex, violence, greed, envy, nepotism, and betrayal...[and] a King Lear-like storyline." (Wine Spectator Online)

I am a math PhD student at the University of MD with eight years of experience tutoring math and math SAT prep. I work hard to help my students grasp difficult math concepts, learn to think critically, and become self-confident. I have tutored math to 100+ students ranging from elementary schoolers to graduate students.
It is not my goal to impress you with my own grades, test scores, and awards -- being an effective tutor takes much more than that. I do my best to understand a problem from a student's perspective and explain new topics in the context of ideas that they have already mastered.
I tutor because it is rewarding to see my students have an 'aha!' moment as they figure out a tricky problem. I enjoy finding creative ways to challenge and motivate them. It is exciting to get a phone call from a student and hear how much they improved their SAT score, learn that a quiz went really well, or find out that they decided to major in math.
I have excellent references. Please get in touch with me if you'd like to speak to a parent of one of my current students or if you'd like a copy of my resume.

Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
As an applied math graduate student, I do a lot of mathematical modeling which inevitably involves using differential equations. I have taken classes in both ordinary and partial differential equations, and a class on finite element methods. I have tutored students in differential equations courses which have often incorporated MATLAB programming into the curriculum.
Over the years, I have spent a lot of time with children as a teacher, camp counselor, nanny, and friend. I have tutored elementary-school students for the past six years, mostly in math. I am creative and enthusiastic, and as a math grad student, also very passionate about math!
I spent two years volunteering at my old elementary school twice a week, working with my own first-grade teacher who now teaches third grade. I worked one-on-one with students who struggled with math, reading, or writing.
As a teenager, I noticed that interacting with kids gave me a special kind of energy and joy. Now as a graduate student pursuing a PhD in math, although I have worked with children for many years, they continue to delight me, surprise me, and teach me new things. Along with tutoring, I also offer sessions for kids ages 5 and up during which we play math games and solve math 'puzzles' to develop critical thinking skills and, of course, a love of math. This has been fun both for kids struggling with basic math concepts and for gifted kids who enjoy a completely different kind of math challenge than what they learn at school.
I have an MS in Scientific Computation and work almost exclusively in MATLAB. I have experience tutoring scientific computation and numerical analysis, subjects which are usually taught using MATLAB as the programming language. I work with MATLAB daily in my own research.
