Students gather in a circle inside a beautiful modern lodge surrounded by 255 acres of forest.
"Close your eyes," Karri Winn directs the group. "Sense your physical body, and allow any muscle tension to relax. Expand your attention to include your emotional body and let it rest."
Sound like the start of a yoga retreat? It's actually a business class.
Winn and her classmates, or cohorts as they are called, study at the Bainbridge Graduate Institute (BGI), an MBA school on the island that's designed to teach environmentally friendly, socially responsible capitalism.
The program just wrapped up its second year, producing 14 graduates with an MBA in sustainable business.
The school started in 2002 as an experiment to infuse sound environmental and social practices into the standard business curriculum. Its enrollment has nearly doubled every year, with 40 students enrolled now and 50 new ones expected this fall.
For more information on the Bainbridge Graduate Institute, check its Web site at www.bgiedu.org.
Green genes
The institute is the brainchild of the wealthy grandson of a famous conservationist following a midlife crisis. No question, the place is on the crunchy side, from its forest setting and group-sharing circles to organic meals and discussion of "human flourishing indicators."
But with enrollment in business schools declining, making business about something more than money taps into an unmet need, says Gifford Pinchot, BGI's chairman and founder.
Pinchot's grandfather, the first U.S. Forest Service chief, helped President Theodore Roosevelt build the conservation movement.
The younger Pinchot, who has an economics degree from Harvard, spent years as a consultant advising companies on sustainability and innovation. He said he hit a midlife crisis after seeing much of his work undone by shortsighted CEOs.
With money he earned from the sale of an Internet security company, he and his wife decided to build a new business school — against their friends' advice.
"They said that's too idealistic, too fluffy, too granola," Pinchot says. "I thought, wait, if there are people not being served, that's an opportunity."
Their goal is to give students skills to change the way business is done and prepare them to lead companies pursuing sustainable development.
"We have an opportunity to solve the world's major problems," Pinchot says. "Business is the dominant institution of our time. It's the biggest leverage point."
The thinking that BGI's mission represents received a boost recently when corporate giant General Electric said it would voluntarily cut its greenhouse-gas emissions and double its research investment in clean energy to $1.5 billion during the next five years.
Prominent faculty
BGI has recruited professors from top universities, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Virginia, to teach classes. The school invites leading executives, such as Paul Dolan, former CEO of California winemaker Fetzer Vineyards, to lecture or become "entrepreneurs in residence."
Its funding comes from tuition, grants from a number of family foundations and from Pinchot's own pocket. Pinchot says he hopes to break even with a boost from increased enrollments and donations this year.
A few companies, such as Hewlett-Packard, support the program indirectly by paying tuition for their employees to attend.
Mark Proia, 36, a design engineer in Portland, is among six HP employees to study at BGI; two have already graduated.
"I have a passion for environmentalism and I work in the business world," he says. "I wanted to merge the two."
Traditional MBA programs might include an elective in sustainable business. At BGI, those issues are built into every course.
In finance and accounting classes, for example, a budgeting problem analyzes the return on investment of a pollution-prevention project.
Recently, on the last day of the semester, Winn and other students shared plans for new businesses in a class called "Radical Sustainability."
Besides Winn's concept for a yoga-products company, other students unveiled projects to convert farm manure into electricity, turn a roadside inn in remote Utah into an eco-lodge or retreat center, and promote the culture created by the annual Burning Man arts festival.
Few of the students at BGI have undergraduate business degrees. Their average age is 35, and more than half are women.
Three times each term, they meet at the IslandWood campus and stay for three days of workshops. The rest of the time, they study online.
IslandWood, an outdoor education center created by Aldus software founder Paul Brainerd and his wife, is a model of green architecture, with recycled materials and solar-heated water. It includes 255 acres of forest with trails, streams and abundant wildlife.
The day starts with exercise at 7 a.m., followed by breakfast. Then, students and staff gather in the Great Hall, a kind of high-tech lodge with rustic décor and wireless Internet. They sit in a circle and share personal news or praise cohorts in a ritual designed to promote communication and bonding.
BGI is authorized by Washington state to grant degrees, but the school is applying for national accreditation, a process that can take up to two years. Because it does not have accreditation yet, students can't qualify for federally guaranteed loans or use the MBA credits toward some Ph.D. programs.
To help students pay for tuition, which costs $30,000 for two years, the school arranges 5 percent interest loans through private parties.
BGI is forming ties with other universities to promote its brand of sustainable business education.
"My sense is this could be a big thing in the future, but it's still at least five years away before it catches on," says Dan Poston, assistant dean for master's programs at the University of Washington's business school.
He doesn't see much demand in the industry yet. Still, the UW is working with the Bainbridge school to develop ideas for its own curriculum, Poston says.
Rick Bunch, a UW business-school alumnus who is BGI's executive director, says students who become good entrepreneurs and managers can create change within companies and industries.
"What we're asking graduates to do is go out there and get organizations to do what they're not doing," he says.
Right now, says student Mark Proia, "there still aren't a lot of jobs in the corporate world that have sustainability as a focus." But, he adds, "I see the wave coming."

News Article
Nanowires Enhance Laser Performance In The Deep UV
BY SONGRUI ZHAO, XIANHE LIU, AND ZETIAN MI FROM McGILL UNIVERSITY, CANADA
Ultraviolet light plays a crucial role in countless tasks that benefit humanity. Uses include sterilization, water purification, preventing counterfeiting, and the analysis of chemical and biological samples.
Today, the dominant sources of UV emission are mercury lamps, a few types of gas laser, and lasers based on frequency conversion. Unfortunately, all these UV sources tend to suffer from a low efficiency and a large footprint. What's more, their operation requires a toxic gas and produces a significant amount of mercury emission, which contaminates our environment. For example, back in 2005, more than 200 tons of mercury was emitted to air from mercury containing products, such as mercury lamps. Exposure to mercury has a devastating impact, deteriorating the health of millions of people and damaging the developing fetus. Clearly, what the world needs are greener, more efficient UV sources. Thankfully, this is possible by turning to compact compound semiconductor devices.
Given the drawbacks of the incumbent UV sources, it is not surprising that development of AlGaN-based, deep-UV lamps has attracted significant attention during the past decade. AlGaN is an ideal alloy for making a UV laser, as its bandgap can be tuned to deliver emission that spans from 200 nm to 364 nm. However, with the III-N material system, efficient sources are far harder to realise in the deep UV than in the blue, green, and near-UV. External quantum efficiencies of AlGaN quantum well deep-UV LEDs are typically just a few percent. Additional concerns are an operating wavelength for electrically injected quantum-well laser diodes that is limited to 336 nm, and a threshold current density on the order of tens of kA/cm2. These weaknesses stem from material issues: dislocation and defect densities in the AlGaN material system are high, and current conduction in aluminium-rich AlGaN is incredibly inefficient.
Recently, our team at McGill University has tackled these critical challenges with AlGaN nanowire structures, which are grown on a silicon substrate by plasma-assisted MBE under nitrogen-rich conditions. The devices that we form are nearly free of defects and dislocations, and benefit from a tremendous reduction in the formation energy of the magnesium-dopant near the surface of the nanowires. This enhances magnesium-dopant incorporation and increases the efficiency of current conduction.
Another great attribute of our devices is that they incorporate quantum-dot-like nanostructures into core-shell AlGaN nanowire arrays. This leads to a significantly reduced transparency current density, thanks to the three-dimensional quantum confinement of charge carriers. Thanks to this, we have been able to produce electrically injected semiconductor lasers operating in the UV-AII, UV-B, and UV-C bands.
Nanowire lasers
Regardless of the form of laser, it must provide optical feedback, because this holds the key to increasing the population of photons and ensuring lasing. With a conventional Fabry-Pérot laser, feedback is realised with mirror facets and a long gain medium; and in our sub-wavelength scale nanowire arrays, it occurs via a phenomena known as Anderson localization, wherein the recurrent light scattering leads to strong photon confinement (see Figure 1 (a)). Note that the strength of the light localization is governed by the orientation, size, and filling fraction of the nanowire arrays.
In our devices, AlGaN random nanowire arrays are vertically aligned on a silicon substrate (see Figure 1(b) for a typical scanning electron microscopy image). The nanowires also function as a gain medium − it has a very small cavity size compared with that of a Fabry-Perot laser.
Detailed simulations reveal that there is a high probability of forming high-Q cavity nanowire arrays when the average diameter of the nanowire is 60 nm to 75 nm, the fill factor of the array ranges from 15 percent to 55 percent, and the emission wavelength of the source is 290 nm (see Figure 1(c)).
We have also simulated the in-plane electric field component of the optical field (see Figure 1(d), where image size is 2.35 µm x 2.35 µm). These calculations highlight the strong confinement present in randomly arranged nanowire arrays.
Figure 1: (a) Light recurrent scattering in AlGaN nanowire arrays provides the optical feedback required for lasing. (b) Scanning electron microscopy reveals the nature of the self-organized AlGaN nanowires on silicon. (c) The probability of forming cavities with a Q-factor higher than 1,000 for a wavelength of 290 nm, as a function of average nanowire diameter and filling factor. (d) In-plane electric field distribution. (e) The electric field (left axis) and effective refractive index (right axis) as a function of the distance from the substrate, showing the optical confinement along the nanowire vertical direction by the tapered nanowire morphology.
In our nanowire lasers, vertical optical confinement results from the effective refractive index variations along the nanowire growth direction. Due to the tapered nanowire morphology, the effective refractive index reaches a minimum at the nanowire bottom, and has a maximum value at the nanowire top (see Figure 1 (e)). Consequently, phonons are strongly confined near the nanowire laser active region. This is beneficial, reducing optical leakage through the underlying silicon substrate.
Strain benefits
Due to the large surface-to-volume ratio and the resulting highly efficient strain relaxation, nanowires offer several advantages, including direct growth on foreign substrates, such as silicon, low defect and dislocation densities, and smaller polarization fields, compared to conventional planar structures. Often, however, this has failed to lead to impressive optical emission efficiencies, due to significant non-radiative surface recombination.
To address this challenge, we have developed AlGaN core-shell nanowire heterostructures that suppress non-radiative surface recombination with a wide bandgap, aluminium-rich AlGaN shell. The structure of our single AlGaN nanowire consists, along the growth direction, of n-GaN, n-AlGaN, i-AlGaN, p-AlGaN, and p-GaN (see Figure 2(a)).
The presence of an aluminium-rich AlGaN shell is clearly revealed with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (see Figure 2 (b)). The aluminium-rich AlGaN shell is spontaneously formed during epitaxial growth, due to aluminium adatoms undergoing slower migration than those of gallium. The resulting increase in the aluminium content in the near-surface region is beneficial, leading to a strong carrier confinement, which slashes non-radiative surface recombination and boosts the carrier injection efficiency into the active region.
Fabrication of electrically injected deep-UV lasers is not easy, so some groups have developed optically pumped AlGaN quantum well lasers in the UV-B (280 nm to 315 nm) and UV-C (200 nm to 280 nm) bands. Threshold powers are of the order of
0.1 MW/cm2 to 1 MW/cm2; and due to the large bandgap and the large effective mass of electrons and holes in AlGaN, to reach transparency, the carrier densities must be of the order of 1019 cm-3 or higher – that is, the carrier density must reach this value to realise the onset of population inversion in conventional AlGaN quantum wells.
Turning to three-dimensionally quantum-confined nanostructures, such as quantum dots, enables a dramatic reduction in the transparency carrier concentration – and ultimately, the lasing threshold. However, prior to our work, there were no demonstrations of AlGaN quantum dot lasers in the deep UV.
Figure 2: (a) Schematic of AlGaN core-shell nanowire heterostructures. (b) Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDXS) line scans along the radial direction of the active region indicate the presence of aluminium-rich, AlGaN shells. The red line in the inset denotes where EDXS line scans were performed. (c) High-resolution scanning tunnelling electron microscopy reveals highly localized compositional modulations of alternating gallium-rich(brighter)/aluminium-rich(darker) planes at the atomic-scale. (d) The gallium-map (displayed in temperature-scale) and concurrently acquired annular dark-field (ADF) signal from electron energy loss spectroscopy − spectral imaging (EELS-SI) at atomic-resolution, showing a direct correspondence between the local increases in gallium-signal with the ADF signal within single atomic-planes.
Our success stems from discovering a new mechanism for forming quantum-dot-like nanostructures in nearly defect-free AlGaN nanowire arrays. According to detailed scanning transmission electron microscopy images, our aluminium-rich AlGaN nanowires feature extensive gallium-rich nanoclusters (see Figure 2(c)). They are between 0.25 nm and 2 nm high (height measured in nanowire axial direction, which is the growth direction), and 2 nm to 5 nm wide (the nanowire radial dimension).
Electron energy-loss spectroscopy enables elemental mapping of the gallium atoms in this structure (see Figure 2(d), which also show a corresponding high-resolution, dark-field scanning tunnelling electron microscopy image). This spectroscopic technique provides an estimate of the localized variation in the gallium concentration of 5-10 atomic percent. The formation of quantum-dot-like nanostructures in the AlGaN nanowires is directly related to the interplay between the chemical ordering and the non-uniform incorporation of gallium and aluminium adatoms at the nanowire growth front.
Conduction challenges
One of the greatest challenges associated with the fabrication of an electrically pumped AlGaN laser in the mid or deep UV is the realisation of sufficient current conduction. There is a tendency for this to be extremely poor, due to the large activation energies for silicon and magnesium dopants, and significant carbon impurity incorporation in the conventional MOCVD growth process. Making matters worse, defects, such as nitrogen vacancies, can further compensate holes in magnesium-doped AlGaN.
To overcome this challenge we have systematically investigated magnesium dopant incorporation in AlN nanowires from a theoretical and an experimental standpoint (see Figure 3 for the result of a first-principle calculation of aluminium-substitutional magnesium formation energy as a function of doping position in AlN). Our calculations show that magnesium-dopant formation energy is significantly reduced in the near-surface region of the nanowires. This implies that magnesium-dopant incorporation in nanowire structures will be significantly higher than that in conventional planar structures. What's more, experiments show that growth under nitrogen-rich conditions can suppress the formation of defect-related nitrogen vacancies.
Figure 3: Ab-initio calculation of magnesium doping into AlN nanowires. (a) Illustration of the structure used for calculation. (b) Aluminium-substitutional magnesium formation energy along the nanowire radial direction. Index "1" indicates the surface. As this number increases, it denotes the position towards the bulk region of nanowires. It is seen that the near-surface region has much lower formation energy than in the bulk region.
Another key finding is that the primary p-type conduction in AlN nanowires is through the magnesium impurity band. That is good news, because it enables extremely efficient, nearly temperature-invariant current conduction, which was not previously possible in Al(Ga)N epilayers. The activation energy in magnesium-doped AlN nanowires is just 20-30 meV, compared with 500-600 meV for magnesium-doped AlN epilayers.
Armed with these insights, we have demonstrated the first AlN nanowire LEDs. These 300 µm by 300 µm chips have a forward voltage of only around 7 V at 20 mA. This very promising current-voltage characteristic highlights the efficient current conduction in AlN nanostructures, and lays a great foundation for the fabrication of electrically injected AlGaN deep UV lasers.
We produce these lasers with standard optical lithography and metallization techniques. Fabrication of conventional, large-area nanowire devices often involves the use of polymers for surface passivation and planarization. However, they are not suitable for our devices, because they are strong absorber of deep UV light. So we use a relatively thin p-metal contact, which is directly deposited on the top surface of the AlGaN nanowires at a tilting angle (see the inset of Figure 4(a)).
Our device exhibits excellent current-voltage characteristics (see Figure 4(a)), and it can produce a CW output at 6K (Figure 4(b)). As the injection current increases, a sharp lasing peak appears around 334 nm, superimposed on a background emission (see Figure 3). A clear lasing threshold occurs at around 10 A/cm2, a current density that is several orders of magnitude lower than that of a conventional AlGaN quantum well laser operating at 336 nm. We attribute this ultralow threshold to the excellent carrier confinement and the high quality of the optical cavity.
Figure 4: (a) Current-voltage characteristics of a 334 nm AlGaN nanowire laser, with the inset showing the fabricated device. (b) The lasing spectra measured at 6 K from 7.7 A/cm2 to 22 A/cm2. (c) Integrated intensity as a function of injection current.
Figure 5: (a) The emission spectra of a 289 nm AlGaN nanowire laser measured under continuous-wave operation at 10 µA (below threshold) and 80 µA (above threshold) at room temperature. (b) The integrated electroluminescence intensity as a function of injection current. The inset shows the plot in a logarithmic scale. (c) Emission spectra of a 262 nm AlGaN nanowire laser measured at an injection of 50 µA (above threshold) and 7 µA (below threshold) at 77 K.
Tuning the alloy composition enables the production of electrically injected AlGaN nanowire lasers in the UV-B and UV-C bands. For our 289 nm laser, a broad emission spectrum is produced at a low injection current, while a clear threshold occurs at 30 µA, and by 80 µA a sharp lasing peak has emerged (see Figures 5 (a) and 5 (b)). Plotting the light output on a logarithmic scale reveals a clear S-shape dependence, which corresponds to a transition from linear spontaneous emission to super-linear amplified spontaneous emission and then on to linear lasing emission (see the inset of Figure 5(b)). This behaviour provides unambiguous evidence for lasing.
Lasers at even shorter wavelengths can be produced with our nanowire laser technology. We have realised a 262 nm laser, which produces a sharp lasing peak when the current is ramped from 7 µA to 50 µA and the device is held at cryogenic temperatures. The threshold is 20 µA.
Our AlGaN nanowire laser technology offers a new route to the realization of electrically injected, deep-UV lasers. It could underpin the next revolution in photonics, which will see efficient, small-scale, solid-state UV light sources replacing conventional mercury lamps. Such progress can slash mercury emissions to air, soil and water. Our novel nanowire sources also promise more efficient, greener, manufacturing processes for sterilization, security, and medical diagnostics. Great opportunities lie ahead for the electrically injected, deep UV nanowire laser.
Emission from the nanowire lasers can be as short as 262 nm.

Backstairs Billy Hardback
by TOM QUINN
William Tallon, who died in 2007, was a shopkeeper's son from the Midlands who worked for the Queen Mother for more than fifty years and became her most trusted servant.
Known as 'Backstairs Billy', he was charming, amusing, occasionally bitchy - and extremely promiscuous.
As a child growing up in relative poverty in Coventry, Billy thought working for the royal family would be hugely glamorous.
As a teenager he sent letters to the royal household begging to be taken on.
It was a shock, however, when he found himself barely out of his teens and working for a family that had two very different sides.
As far as the public was concerned, the royal family was a model of reticence.
But Billy saw the other side of a family whose members loved drinking and smoking, swearing and playing sometimes cruel practical jokes on each other in private.
They hated anything serious and were constantly making jokes at each other's expense.
The Queen Mother was especially good at all this, according to Billy.
This was partly because she had a great sense of fun and partly because, for the last twenty years of her life, she was dotty to the point of lunacy.Billy adored her and she adored Billy; perhaps because of his high-camp style and outrageous remarks about the well-born equerries, royal press people and advisers, but mostly because he made her gin and tonics just the way she liked them - nine-tenths gin and one-tenth tonic. Outrageously funny, scandalous, sometimes shocking, but always fascinating, this is the life story of one of the most original characters ever to have graced the royal household.

Feminism in India : The Tale and its Telling
This paper is a sketch of feminism in India which also raises some theoretical issues. It argues that postcolonial theory fails to recognize that what counts as "marginal" in relation to the West has often been central in the non-West. With a primarily textual orientation, postcolonial studies neglect the historical analysis of the constraints of social institutions and the possibilities of human agency therein. With this understanding, this paper traces the history of feminism from: India's colonized past through its nationalist and gender struggles; independent India's state-initiated development to the transformed context of globalization; and finally a contemporary India with a simultaneous assertion of marginalized communities and the rise of a "global middle class" with its paradoxical impact on feminism.

As I slept that night,
Broken hearted,
A familiar dream
Once more started.
Your smile was the only thing

I woke up then from,
My personal hell.
I wondered aloud whether
Someone could tell
Me how I fell in love with

Malaysia urged to stop 'harassment' of activists
Amnesty International has called on Malaysia to stop the "harassment" of a human rights organisation that has accused the government of corruption.
Authorities are investigating the funding of Suaram, an opposition-leaning group that has long campaigned against police brutality and other abuse.
Earlier this year, a French court started hearing a complaint launched by Suaram, accusing Prime Minister Najib Razak and others over a 2002 deal to buy two submarines from France.
Amnesty International urged Malaysia in a statement Friday to "end all forms of harassment and intimidation", saying the recent probe against Suaram appeared "to be a concerted, multi-departmental government campaign".
"Amnesty International is concerned that the recent government actions against Suaram appear to be linked to the organisation's legitimate work, in particular a corruption case which it has brought before the French courts," the London-based group said.
A government spokesman denied Suaram had been targeted.
"Malaysia has a free, vibrant and flourishing civil society ... Nevertheless, all organisations in Malaysia must adhere to our laws and regulations, and Suaram is no exception," the official said.
Suaram has said the probe is proof that the government is determined to silence critical voices after it alleged corruption over the purchase of the two Scorpene submarines while Najib was defence minister.
The allegations have posed a headache for Najib, who must face elections by the middle of next year and has been seeking to gain support by touting a reform agenda, including abolishing and amending strict security laws.
But critics have dismissed this as a ploy to bring back voters, who in the last elections in 2008 dealt Najib's Barisan Nasional coalition its worst ever results, costing it its customary two-thirds parliamentary majority.

On Wednesday, California Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse released a report entitled "Lessons in Lawsuits," which details the litigation costs of 12 California school districts. Included is information about Santa Ana Unified (SAUSD) and Capistrano Unified (CUSD). According to the report, those two districts alone spent more than $15 million on lawsuits (the cost of outside counsel…

A Final Word from the CUSD Picket Lines
by Dan Chmielewski •
A last word from our striking teacher. "Well, its over. The tentative agreement wasn't the best, but under the circumstances it was probably the best that could be achieved with such an intractable, obstinate board. Some teachers are overjoyed, while others are frankly upset. I think the devil is in the details. It's a three…
Another Report from the Frontlines at CUSD's Teacher Strike
by Dan Chmielewski •
Attendance on the line was down in some ways, and up in others. Some teachers had their layoff hearings today and couldn't be there, but on the bright side, several teachers who worked yesterday came out and struck with us today – awesome! Think about that – teachers who are under risk of being laid off are striking. This should indicate just how serious this whole strike is to the future of our profession.
The Devil in the Details of the CUSD Strike
by Heather Irene Justus •
I've been writing about Capistrano Unified School District and the struggles with our current Board of Trustees. The teachers went on strike Thursday even as talks began regarding the contract imposed by the CUSD Board of Trustees.
The details are important because they seem to be getting lost in translation between the media, the administration, the union and the parents. The issue is that Teachers are willing to take pay cuts, they just don't want them to be permanent. There are other issues as well, which I've written about but the real issue is the board, who funded their race and the ultimate goal of a number of organizations to privatize our public education system.

According to Cleveland.com, Police said 18-year-old Damari Wayne approached a 23-year-old man in a Ford Mustang and said, "Get out of your vehicle now or I'm going to blow you away".
Wayne and a younger accomplice, grabbed the man's wallet and cellphone from the car, then realized they were allegedly attempting to carjack a manual transmission vehicle.
Neither how to drive a stick, so they allegedly asked the car's owner on how work the pedals. They gave up, ran off and police used the stolen cell phone to track them down.

Album Rating: 4.5This would be my favorite non-80s Fates album, right after the first two with Alder and the last two with Arch.

To this albums defense, I've avoided post-Parallels Fates for a long time and I definitely paid the price.

Sex. Drugs. Loud music. Wild costumes. Dazzling light shows. These words can all describe a great rock concert or a hot dance club, but they were also part and parcel of the ancient cultural phenomenon known as the "Mystery religions". In this book, author Christopher Knowles shows how the long-dead Mystery religions got a secular reincarnation when a new musical form called rock 'n' roll burst onto the scene.
Knowles shows how the Mysteries prefigured subcultures as diverse as Santeria, Freemasonry, and Mardi Gras, and explains exactly how ancient rituals and music found their way to the New World. In the process, The Secret History of Rock 'n' Roll traces the development of rock's most popular genres, such as punk and metal, and reveals how many of rock's most iconic artists fill the same archetypal roles as the ancient gods. You'll see how many of the rituals, customs, and musical styles of our postmodern society have stunning ancient parallels. You'll meet history's first pop divas, headbangers, and guitar heroes and read the untold story of the Puritan Woodstock. Get ready for a wild ride that will take you from the Stone Age to the Space Age.

Excellent reading, disappointing book
Quinn does a fine job with the reading. One of my favorite things about audio books is getting the pronunciations of foreign and unfamiliar terms, and he weaves them in smoothly. His pacing and dynamics were both great. I'll be looking for more by him.
Weak scholarship, distracting cutesy phrasing, and above all, deep tunnel vision, showing little awareness that anyone else's tastes could really matter as much as his or be nearly so interesting. Would have been a better memoir, maybe.
The first part, going over the existing accounts and physical evidence of the mystery cults of antiquity with an eye on possible similarities of practice with contemporary music and related celebrations, was fun. A lot of it's speculative, but he's clear about it, and some of the connections he traces intrigued me enough to suggest further reading. The farther his subject is from himself, apparently, the better Knowles is at writing interestingly about it for people who don't share his immediate tastes.

UPDATE: Brean Capital Reiterates Buy Rating, Raises PT on Electronic Arts
In a report published Wednesday, Brean Capital reiterated its Buy rating on Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA), and raised its price target from $15.00 to $19.00.
Brean Capital noted, "We are raising our fiscal 2013 non-GAAP EPS estimate for EA to $1.05 from $1.00 on increased comfort with our in-line F3Q13 estimate ($0.55, up from $0.54 on fine tuning), and an increase in our F4Q13 estimate to an above consensus $0.76 from $0.71 on stronger-than-expected sales of Battlefield Premium. We are also raising our fiscal 2014 revenue estimate to $4.3 billion, from $4.14 billion, on a stronger FPS comp and an expanded line-up, but maintaining our fiscal 2014 non-GAAP EPS estimate at $1.20, albeit with an upward bias. As a result, we are increasing our price target to $19 from $15. Our new target price is based on 13.0x our calendar 2013 estimated non-GAAP EPS of $1.46, or 10.0x excluding net cash."
Electronic Arts closed on Tuesday at $14.74.

I received an enquiry about a crossing for Windsor Drive this afternoon, so I thought I'd blog it.
When members of the public send in requests for Highways work, people are now being sent a stiff letter asking them to get support of local people including elected councillors. I am aware of the kind of letter that Nick Chapman is sending out. Indeed, I have myself been sent one.
This appears to be a directive from CBC to Highways to make them think harder about where they spend their money, and to make ad hoc requests from the public more quantifiable, and responsible. If that's the reasoning, then it seems like a good strategy to me, especially as CBC are facing another round of cuts (or a whopping council tax rise) next year, and need to get value for money.
I discussed this matter with the town clerk, Clare Evans, at the end of July and she was going to make a form available for members of the public requesting ad hoc work, which would indeed need qualifying by locally elected representatives.
As to the matter of a crossing (or 2 - I'm not certain if one or 2 were being thought about) on Windsor Drive, my understanding through my enquiries, is that members of CBC have actually given the go ahead for a crossing. Unfortunately money to do this work has not yet materialised, as it was supposed to have been done through developer contributions via the new Sandringham Drive estate, and these have since hit snags.
I have been waiting since the beginning of July 2014, which is when I last received an update on this matter from CBC, (including officers as well as Cllr Spurr and Cllr Young) to learn if there is to be any satisfactory outcome. I shall follow up on that, again, now.
I shall keep you all informed if I do receive an update.
If I do not get an update, the next public opportunity to voice concern on Windsor Drive would be at the Town Partnership Committee on 20th October, to be held at Peel Street, Houghton Regis at 7.30pm. The Town Partnership Committee is a meeting of CBC and Town Council representatives, with officers from both council also present.

Following on from previous singles "Coming Back To You" and "Loose People", Brisbane-based quartet Sans Parents are dropping another single, "Can't Stop Moving".
Moving further away from the rougher aesthetic they exhibited with their first release, it sees the band expressing a more prominent element of pop, and coming out all the better for it.
Partly comprised of the now-defunct Hungry Kids Of Hungary, Sans Parents tap into the same sort of pop influences that the likes of contemporaries such as Miike Snow find so enthralling. Theirs is a sound full of seduction and intrigue, a vivid affair which presents pop exactly as it should be: with excitement and allure. "Can't Stop Moving" is the perfect next step for the band, encompassing not only their strengths thus far, but expanding to produce something quite special.
From vocalist/guitarist Alex Bennison's vocals to the punchy power-pop instrumentals, everything here works because, as stated above, the band grasp the essentials of their sound so well. Alike the brighter moments of Porches' excellent Slow Dance In The Cosmos, it is a simply constructed, though perfectly executed, three-and-a-half minutes. Key to this is its chorus, which leaps from the speakers and gifts the song an extra helping of infectious energy. The title may hint to some sort of kinetic theme within the track, though to relay this to real time is another matter entirely, making its success here all the more applaudable.
Everything about "Can't Stop Moving" is a real treat, and proves a timely reminder to just how much of a rush the slightest influence of pop, when performed this well, is capable of inducing.
Listen below.

Don't be horder! Bring in your local Junk Clearing Company!
When people hear the term "junk clearing," they usually begin to groan because they fully understand that that process can be nothing but exhausting, boring and frustrating. In short, hardly anybody wants to bother with the job of junk clearing, which is exactly why there are professional companies around that specialize in this undesirable job. Calling a junk clearing company has other practical reasons, too. For one, if you are a person with a bad back or an elderly man or woman, you do not have to risk throwing your back out by bending over excessively and doing heavy lifting to pick up the junk in your own home. That is what a professional junk clearing service is all about.
Depending on the junk clearing service that you pick, you will get better or worse performance, which is why you are, advised to carefully screen the junk clearing company with which you want to do business. A good rule of thumb is to make sure that the junk clearing service you choose adheres to these basic rules.
First, it should provide you with an arrival window of at least a couple of windows because you deserve to know when they will show up so that you can plan your day around its arrival. This is a must because you do not want to have them just popping up when you can't be bothered at that particular day and time. Additionally, the junk clearing company should be fair in their pricing and provide you with a free survey of the junk you expect it to take away from your residence. This ought to then be followed up by a prompt price-range estimate for the actual work. Third, the junk clearing company's workers should be the only ones who lift and load up your junk; you should never be asked to help because that is totally unprofessional. Finally, the junk clearing company ought to also show a good deal of courtesy by performing a final sweep of your residence prior to them leaving.
Any good junk clearing company worth its salt should also charge you a fair price structure that is based on how much of one of its regular-size trucks your load of junk fills up! That's it! For example, it would not be unreasonable for a junk clearing company to charge you between $350 and $440 if all of your junk takes up the entire space on one of its trucks. However, for loads of junk that only take up a small section of a junk truck, a fair junk clearing service should charge you no more than simply about $75.
A service of this kind will be a godsend for anybody who does not want to throw out his or her back when removing junk from his or her residence or premises. Junk is one of those things that we all eventually have to deal with, and that is why there are professional services around to make life easier for us in this respect. When the junk cluttering your home environment—or even your office environment, for that matter—gets to be too much too bear, do you a favor and use a junk clearing service. It is better than continuing to just keep your junk lying around.

McDonald's is thriving in Australia.
The fast-food chain just reported its fourth straight quarter of same-store sales growth in Australia, where McDonald's is fondly known as "Macca's."
It also recently ranked first among Australian's favorite restaurants, according to a survey by Wimdu, a site for apartment rentals.
Customers cited "good, tasty food," "convenience," and "low prices" as their top reasons for eating there.
McDonald's executives tout Australia as one of their strongest markets, and said on a recent earnings call that they look to Australia for ways to improve its restaurants around the world.
So what's so different about McDonald's in Australia?
Basically everything — including the ingredients, the restaurant models, the service, the menu, and the public image.
In Australia, many of the restaurants are unrecognizable compared with those in the US. They have bars of fresh food where you can watch your order being prepared.
I normally wouldn't eat, nor post McDonalds but today is an exception. A hung over burger with @toddy_ and @samipantsman turned out pretty damn good. Castle Hill McDonalds in Sydney is one of the first to trial the new table service, make your own gourmet burgers. They did not disappoint! This one is double beef, crispy bacon, special sauce, tomato chili jam, tomato, beetroot, lettuce, cheese, pickles, tomato and all on a delish white bun. You can even order and pay for everything at an automated machine and not even go to a register. I'm impressed! 👌👍😁 #burger #sydneyburger
And dessert includes customizable Belgian waffles.
It looks nothing like a McDonald's restaurant on the inside.
Easterbrook last week attributed Australia's successful turnaround to "a renewed focus on improving operations, the added convenience of offering barista crafted McCafé beverages through the drive-through, and the stronger value platform with the re-launch of the 'loose change menu.'"

Meet 'Z,' the first-ever Korean American Girl Doll
"Every girl has a story to share."
He's got a flannel. He's got a graphic t-shirt. You better believe he's got a drum kit.
"The thing we've always wanted that we didn't know we wanted."
"To little girls who may feel alone and so desperately want to see dolls that reflect their beauty—it means more than you know."
The American Girl Dolls can't stay little girls forever. So we imagined what they'd be like as adult humans with real lives.

Golf betting tips: Trophee Hassan IIMarch 25, 2015 Courses and Travel
After the disappointment of Madeira we get the tips for the Moroccan staple

After the farce that was Madeira last week it looks like we are in for a treat with this weeks Trophee Hassan II from the fabulous Golf du Palais Royal in Morocco.
It definitely seems this in parts tree lined course which is exposed to the coastal breezes has become a bit of a horses for courses venue but with that goes the problem that all those players tend to be underpriced.
Therefore I have looked for players who have form at similar courses such as East London, Durban, Royal Portrush, Oitavos Dunes, those used for the KLM Open, even the ill fated Santo de Serra course which was also designed by Trent Jones snr.
Julien Quesne has been rather plagued by niggling injuries over the past few years but he remains a talented player who will add to his two European tour victories and this seems the ideal venue. He has plenty of top ten finishes at all the relevant venues including here and was 8th at East London two starts ago. He was only 37th on his only other start here in 2012 but that did come the week after his first European tour victory. He clearly likes golf in Morocco as we can see by his 9th here in 2013 but also a 2nd and 3rd on the Challenge Tour when it visited the country. £40 e/w 66/1.
Mark Tullo can't boast the same level of form in Morocco but he has won the Egyptian Open in North Africa before. He also had a good finish at East London two starts ago when 10th to add to a 5th there in 2013. He has also been 2nd at Santo de Serra and 3rd on the links in the Scottish Open so can clearly play coastal breezy courses. At the price I think he is worth a small investment £20 e/w 150/1 + £10 180 Betfair.
My one pick from left field this week is Mikael Lundberg who has a big price tag considering he won just last June on tour. As for the corresponding courses he can boast a 5th at Royal Portrush (only derailed by a poor 3rd round), 4th Santo de Serra. 4th Oitavos Dunes. He has two wins on the tree lined Moscow course which was interestingly designed by Trent Jones Jnr and where last years winner Canizares secured his maiden tour win. His form here is nothing spectacular though he played well for the first three rounds on his debut when he putted really well. Putting seems to be key around here and Lundberg topped that category at East London two starts ago. £15 e/w 300/1 + £20 top 10 22/1 + £35 365 average Betfair.

Osborne unveils new UK spending watchdog
Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, unveiled a new watchdog yesterday that would monitor government spending and stop ministers "fiddling" growth and borrowing forecasts.
The chancellor said the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) would give greater credibility to the figures that were unveiled on Budget day.
He also announced that he would disclose next week how the coalition Government would find £6bn in Whitehall savings to help reduce the deficit. David Laws, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, said the cuts would be early and "aggressive."
Mr Osborne warned that if action was not taken to combat the deficit, the consequences could be "disastrous".
Accusing the previous Labour government of consistently misleading the public, Mr Osborne said the OBR would be in charge of growth and borrowing forecasts.
"Again and again, the temptation to fiddle the figures, to nudge up a growth forecast here or reduce a borrowing number there, to make the numbers add up has proved too great, and that is a significant part of the reason for our current problems," he said.
"I am the first Chancellor to remove the temptation to fiddle figures by giving up control of the economic and fiscal forecasts. I recognise that this will create a rod for my back down the line.
"That is the whole point. We need to fix the Budget to fit the figures, not fix the figures to fit the Budget."
Alan Budd, a veteran economist who has held several Whitehall posts, will chair the OBR. He began work last Thursday and said yesterday that it was going "very well".
He said his three-man Budget Responsibility Committee would not be able to get all the forecasts right but "every judgment will be ours and we guarantee the independence and integrity of our work".
Alistair Darling, the former Labour chancellor, denied suggestions that he had colluded with Treasury officials to dupe the public.
"The suggestion that Treasury civil servants have colluded in publishing anything other than accurate figures is just plain wrong," he said.
"We're required in law to set out forecasts that take account of all decisions taken and we've published these in Budgets and pre-Budget reports." (© Daily Telegraph, London)
