Former Quarterback Breaks Paper Airplane Record

The quiet world of competitive paper airplane flying got some unusual attention this weekend when Joe Ayoob, a former quarterback for the University of California at Berkeley, set a new world record for distance, 226 feet and 10 inches, inside a 747 hangar at McClellan Air Force Base, near Sacramento. Ayoob broke the former record by 19.5 feet. "It was a proud moment," said Ayoob. "I used to make a paper airplane every day when I was a kid. I love it." The YouTube video recording the event (right) went viral on sports and news sites in the U.S., U.K. and Australia, and by Wednesday morning, the humble website of John Collins, the designer of the winning glider, known as "the paper airplane guy," was unavailable due to "exceeded bandwidth." Collins and Ayoob have been working together for over a year.
Collins has written a couple of popular books, The Gliding Flight and Fantastic Flight, that use the art of paper folding to help teach kids about aerodynamics and the scientific method. Sunday's flight was recorded on video and measured by a surveyor with a laser, to qualify for the Guinness book of world records. It will take about three to six months for the record to be made official. The flight beat the record currently held by Stephen Krieger, of Bellevue, Wash. "Stephen is telling me he thinks he can beat our distance," Collins told the Marin Independent Journal. "So it's on."

Yay! A month ago, everybody thought Michelle Obama was going to be on the March cover of Vogue Magazine, the annual "Power Issue". But she wasn't. As it turns out, Mobama scored the April cover, "the Shape Issue"!! Huzzah! This is Michelle's second Vogue cover – her first was March 2009, when she had just become FLOTUS. Four years, a reelection and one set of midlife crisis bangs later, Michelle sat down for Vogue once again. She's wearing Reed Krakoff on the cover, I think (that was widely reported), and YAY, she's showing off her amazing arms. Love the color of that Krakoff dress. You can read the full Mobama interview here at Vogue – I'm going to go back later to enjoy it thoroughly, but for now, here are some highlights:
MO on the criticisms that the Obamas don't entertain enough: "I don't think it's our job to put an idea to rest. Our job is, first and foremost, to make sure our family is whole. You know, we have small kids; they're growing every day. But I think we were both pretty straightforward when we said, 'Our number-one priority is making sure that our family is whole.' "
BO on his "bachelor apartment" in Washington when he was in the Senate:
"…The culture in Washington has changed in ways that probably haven't been great for the way this place runs. . . . When you talk to the folks who were in the Senate or the House back in the sixties, seventies, eighties, there was much less pressure to go back and forth to your home state. . . . Campaigns weren't as expensive. So a lot of members of Congress bought homes here in the area; their kids went to school here; they ended up socializing in part because their families were here. By the time I got to the Senate, that had changed. Michelle and the girls, for example, stayed in Chicago, and I had this little bachelor apartment that Michelle refused to stay in because she thought it was a little, uh. . . .You know, pizza boxes everywhere," he says. "When she came, I had to get a hotel room."
The First Lady leans in toward me. "That place caught on fire."
"It did end up catching on fire," says the president sheepishly.
"And I was like, I told you it was a dump," she says. Her husband continues, "As a consequence, I think, when the Washington press writes about this, part of what they're longing for has less to do with us; it has to do with an atmosphere here where there was more of a community in Washington, which did result, I think, in less polarization. Because if your kids went to school together and you're seeing each other at ball games and church, then Democrats and Republicans had a sense that this is not just perpetual campaigning and political warfare."
BO on his wife:
"Well, what is true is that, first and foremost, Michelle thinks about the girls. And pretty much everything else from Michelle's perspective right now is secondary. And rightly so. She is a great mom. What is also true is Michelle's had to accommodate"—he pauses for a long while—"a life that"—another pause—"it's fair to say was not necessarily what she envisioned for herself. She has to put up with me. And my schedule and my stresses. And she's done a great job on that. But I think it would be a mistake to think that my wife, when I walk in the door, is, Hey, honey, how was your day? Let me give you a neck rub. It's not as if Michelle is thinking in terms of, How do I cater to my husband? I think it's much more, We're a team, and how do I make sure that this guy is together enough that he's paying attention to his girls and not forgetting the basketball game that he's supposed to be going to on Sunday? So she's basically managing me quite effectively—that's what it comes down to. I'm sure Valerie might have made it sound more romantic." The First Lady, who has been staring at her lap through this entire answer, finally looks up and laughs.
What MO gets from BO:
"Well, patience and calm I'm borrowing," says the First Lady. "Or trying to mirror. I've learned that from my husband, that sort of, you know, ability to not get too high or too low with changes and bumps in the road . . . to do more breathing in and just going with it. I'm learning that every day. And to the extent that I've made changes in my life, it's just sort of stepping back and seeing a change not as something to guard against but as a wonderful addition . . . that can make life fun and unexpected. Oftentimes, it's the way we react to change that is the thing that determines the overall experience. So I've learned to let go and enjoy it and take it in and not take things too personally."
What BO gets from MO:
"And what Michelle has done is to remind me every day of the virtues of order." The First Lady lets out a big laugh. "Being on time. Hanging up your clothes. Being intentional about planning time with your kids. In some ways I think . . . we're very different people, and some of that's temperamental, some of it is how we grew up. Michelle grew up in a model nuclear family: mom, dad, brother. . . . She just has these deep, wonderful roots. When you go back to Chicago, she's got family everywhere. . . . There's just a warmth and a sense of belonging. And you know, that's not how I grew up. I had this far-flung family, father left at a very young age, a stepfather who ended up passing away as well. My mother was this wonderful spirit, and she was adventurous but not always very well organized. And, so, what that means is that I'm more comfortable with change and adventure and trying new things, but the downside of it is, sometimes—particularly when we were early on in our marriage—I wasn't always thinking about the fact that my free-spirited ways might be having an impact on the person I'm with. And conversely, early in our marriage, Michelle provided this sense of stability and clarity and certainty about things, but sometimes she resisted trying something new just because it might seem a little scary or push her out of her comfort zone. I think what we've learned from each other is that sense of. . . ." "Balance," she says. "There's no doubt I'm a better man having spent time with Michelle. I would never say that Michelle's a better woman, but I will say she's a little more patient."
Ugh, that's only halfway through the interview! Anyway, I need to wrap this up or this post will be ten pages long. So here's the gist: the Obamas are a wonderfully efficient team, whether you're talking about co-parenting, marriage, campaigning or governance. And besides that… they just love each other. *sigh*

She was found nearby by someone who didn't want to keep her but at least he was kind enough to take her to the vet's. The vet called my daughter (as I understand it) who went and got her thinking The Blind Cat Sanctuary would take her. They said no. My daughter has absolutely no room in her home (she rescues). I have a full house since I still have fosters from years ago who were never adopted. She seems to be able to adjust. As long as she gets her food, she is happy!
The cat has tested negative, is declawed and blind and almost deaf and has thyroid problems for which she will be supplied her meds for free from Wellington Vet. Any questions, please contact me or Sherry (I'm Trudi).

VIENNA (AP) — Facing greater oil demand but possessing limited ability to satisfy it, OPEC countries on Wednesday agreed to keep unchanged their output target of 30 million barrels a day.
OPEC Secretary General Abdullah Al-Badry sought to cast the 12 countries' decision in a positive light.
"We have a very comfortable price and the market is very stable," he told reporters after an OPEC meeting in Vienna. "So everybody's happy."
In fact, OPEC's move was in part recognition by the oil cartel that most members will not be able to substantially increase output in the short-term, even if the world's appetite for crude increases as major economies expand and inventories shrink.
The price of oil rose after the OPEC decision, with benchmark Brent North Sea crude for delivery in July climbing 45 cents to $109.97 a barrel in London.
The International Energy Agency, oil consultant to major consuming countries, sees short-term demand rising. But many OPEC members are at their production capacity limits, and there are other problems.
Iran says it can boost output to 4 million barrels a day within months — but remains constrained by sanctions imposed over its nuclear program. Domestic chaos in Libya has reduced its output to less than a quarter of the daily 800,000 barrels it would normally be able to produce. And production from Venezuela and Nigeria has slipped because of economic and political difficulties there.
Iraq is also under threat. Jihadists wrested control of the northern town of Mosul on Monday. While the loss of the city has no immediate effect on oil exports, now at over 3 million barrels a day, it adds to concerns over security and the country's plans to expand oil production.
Sidestepping around another difficulty, the oil ministers agreed to extend Al-Badry for a third year past the end of his normal term in efforts to defuse tensions generated by competing bids for the post by regional rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran.
OPEC still accounts for about 40 percent of world demand. But present difficulties leave it to OPEC powerhouse Saudi Arabia and its smaller Gulf allies to make up for increased international needs, along with other major oil producers outside OPEC, such as Russia and the U.S.
The Saudis regularly raise or lower production to meet demand. Now pumping about 9 million barrels a day, they say they could increase that by more than another 3 million barrels if needed.
"In the end it's the traditional swing producer, Saudi Arabia, that will be meeting any additional demand," said senior analyst Ehsan Ul-Haq, of Energy Economics.
Margaret Childs contributed from Vienna.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Raytheon Co , one of the largest U.S. weapons makers, has agreed to pay $8 million in civil penalties to resolve hundreds of alleged violations of U.S. export control laws over the past decade, the U.S. State Department said on Tuesday.
The State Department said it reached the agreement with Massachusetts-based Raytheon after an extensive review showed the company's "numerous violations demonstrated a recurring, corporate-wide weakness" in maintaining effective compliance controls.
Under the terms of the agreement, Raytheon neither admitted nor denied the allegations. However, the company voluntarily reported many -- if not most -- of the alleged violations to the government.
Half of the fine will be suspended on the condition that Raytheon will use the money for government-approved remedial compliance measures, including increased training and oversight. The company also agreed to hire an independent special compliance official to oversee the four-year consent decree.
Raytheon, which prides itself on generating more revenues overseas than its rivals, expects international sales to account for 27 percent to 29 percent of its total revenue in 2013.
The company said in a statement it would continue to work closely with the State Department "to achieve its goal of full compliance and industry-leading practices."
The department said it would not debar Raytheon from further exports since the company voluntarily disclosed nearly all the violations covered by the settlement over the past decade.
Many of the violations involved the manufacture of hardware by foreign partners in excess of approved amounts, and the failure of Raytheon employees to submit documents in a timely manner, or with necessary amendments, the department said. Some violations related to classified material.
Violations continued to occur, even after Raytheon pledged to increase training, adopt a more robust information technology system, and hire more experienced personnel, it said.
Last year, United Technologies Corp, another large U.S. exporter, agreed to pay $75 million in fines for export violations, including the sale of software later used by China to develop its first modern military attack helicopter.

Can you suggest an appropriate alternative to denim cutoffs for the beach? I nee
If you're looking for something incredibly easy yet glamorous for the beach, my first instinct is to direct you to a caftan. A tribal pattern always looks amazing, but you can really go for any bold print (like feather, animal, or one that's inspired by Native American textiles). If you like the idea of a print, but want something a little tamer, try a shorter caftan with a monochromatic pattern; it won't feel so overwhelming. The great thing about these cover-ups is that they really conceal what you're wearing underneath, so your suit doesn't need to coordinate. If these options are too boho for you and you'd prefer to take a preppy angle, you could always pick up a little lightweight shirtdress for the beach; it would look so cute with a little gingham swimsuit. For the risktakers out there I'd suggest going for a really impactful look by combining a shredded tunic over either a bright bikini or a metallic suit, either of which will really pop through the sexy, edgy cover-up. Finally, if you are more of a minimalist, I recommend picking up a simple tank or t-shirt dress. It can be very understated, streamlined and striped, or totally classic, the key is to find something with an uncomplicated shape in a colour you love!

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are mixed in early trading on Wall Street as budget talks continue in Washington.
Discount retailer Big Lots soared 8 percent after beating analysts' earnings forecasts and raising its estimate for full-year earnings.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 13 points at 12,978 shortly after the opening bell Tuesday.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index was up a fraction at 1,409 and the Nasdaq composite index fell two points to 2,999.
Pep Boys fell 9 percent after posting a loss on weak sales at the company's auto stores and rising costs.
In Washington, talks are proceeding on how to avoid a fiscal crunch of higher taxes and government spending cuts set to automatically kick in at the beginning of the year.

text: With tights and make up all seemingly now accepted male staples, why not corsets? That's what Folk have sneaked into the mainstream with this drawstring cardigan. Initially I thought the most interesting part of this cardigan was the contrasting squares on the neckline creating a lapel-like effect. A look closer revealed something much more interesting, are corsets in for men?

Veeco Instruments Inc. (VECO) designs, manufactures and markets equipment to make light emitting diodes (LEDs), solar panels, hard-disk drives and other devices. The Company operates in two segments: Light Emitting Diode (LED) and Solar, and Data Storage.[1] Nearly 80% of Veeco's revenue comes from Asia, a segment that grew at a staggering 125% year-over-year rate between 2009 and 2010.[2] However, such growth is highly erratic due to Semiconductor Cyclicality.
Following the global recession, Veeco experienced a rapid improvement in business conditions in late 2009 and continuing into 2010.[3]. Revenue in 2010 is $933.23 million, compared to $282.41 million in 2009. Net income also improved equally as drastically, with $361 milliion in 2010 and a loss of $15.56 million in 2009.[2]
The semiconductor market is notoriously cyclical. ]The semiconductor industry is affected by the fluctuating demand for PCs and cell phones, and by the rest of the electronics market. The demand in up cycles is so high that the chip manufacturers cannot always meet demand. On the other hand, if electronic sales, particularly PC sales, are slow, demand for chips can plummet. The semiconductor industry is at the whim of consumer demand more than corporate demand, adding to the volatility in demand.
About 80% of Veeco's revenues come from Asia due to the concentration of fabs there.[4] Many semiconductor manufacturers are building fabs or outsourcing to fabs in parts of Asia, particularly Taiwan. Asia has lower overhead costs, and it is also convenient to be located near major electronics markets such as Japan and China. The large growth potential in China could be a major factor for semiconductor demand in years to come.
Veeco's main competitors are:
Veeco remains a company with very high net margins due to the company's focus on the lucrative LED market in comparison to many of its competitors' focus on chip manufacturing. Veeco's net margin in 2010 was approximately 39%.[2]

Giving to international causes is especially high for first- and second-generation Americans who still have strong ties – real or sentimental – to their motherlands.
Bangladesh has a thriving civil society. Non-governmental organizations provide critical goods and services to poor populations. From educational support to water wells, NGOs impact millions of lives annually. This is the narrative that those who donate follow.
But, very rarely does anyone follow up on a more important question: What's the return on my charity?
Some organizations are run more efficiently than others. Some organizations are better at delivering services than others. A small number of organizations lie, cheat and steal. Some break promises. Some do not keep their commitments. As the aphorism goes, one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch.
Individuals rarely have resources to investigate where their charity dollar goes. The cost of investigation is simply too high. So, individuals trust organizations. But, even well-intentioned organizations might be doing something inefficient or counterproductive.
Looking at this problem, the U.S. Department of State decided to partner with diaspora-founded NGOs and a partner with experience in philanthropy in order to create a philanthropy portal. The portal, which is now in beta, will serve as a mechanism for donors to know the value of their investment. NGOs will be regularly investigated for efficiency and value. Only NGOs that have gone through an approval process will be allowed into the portal.
By streamlining donations into one portal, donors will feel better about their investment, and NGOs may receive more dollars given that donor confidence.
Measuring is critical to how we give. In a world of limited resources, the value of every dollar has to be optimized.

DRI scientists' co-author study examining life in one of Earth's coldest, ice-sealed ecosystems
(RENO) - This week a pioneering study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (PNAS) and co-authored by Dr. Alison Murray and Dr. Christian Fritsen of Nevada's Desert Research Institute (DRI) reveals, for the first time, a viable community of bacteria that survives and ekes out a living in a dark, salty and subfreezing environment beneath nearly 20 meters of ice in one of Antarctica's most isolated lakes.
Lake Vida, the largest of several unique lakes found in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, contains no oxygen, is mostly frozen and possesses the highest nitrous oxide levels of any natural water body on Earth. A briny liquid that is approximately six times saltier than seawater percolates throughout the icy environment that has an average temperature of minus 13.5 degrees centigrade (or 8 degrees Fahrenheit).

"This study provides a window into one of the most unique ecosystems on Earth," said Murray, the report's lead author, and molecular microbial ecologist and polar researcher for the past 17 years, who has participated in 14 expeditions to the Southern Ocean and Antarctic continent. "Our knowledge of geochemical and microbial processes in lightless icy environments, especially at subzero temperatures, has been mostly unknown up until now. This work expands our understanding of the types of life that can survive in these isolated, cryoecosystems and how different strategies may be used to exist in such challenging environments."

Despite the very cold, dark and isolated nature of the habitat, the report finds that the brine harbors a surprisingly diverse and abundant assemblage of bacteria that survive without a present-day source of energy from the sun. Previous studies of Lake Vida dating back to 1996 indicate that the brine and its' inhabitants have been isolated from outside influences for more than 3,000 years.
Murray and her co-authors and collaborators, including the project's principal investigator Dr. Peter Doran of the University of Illinois at Chicago, developed stringent protocols and specialized equipment for their 2005 and 2010 field campaigns to sample the lake brine while avoiding contaminating the pristine ecosystem.
To sample the unique environment researchers worked under secure, sterile tents on the lake's surface to keep the site and equipment clean as they drilled ice cores, collected samples of the salty brine residing in the lake ice and then assessed the chemical qualities of the water and its potential for harboring and sustaining life, in addition to describing the diversity of the organisms detected.

Geochemical analyses suggest that chemical reactions between the brine and the underlying iron-rich sediments generate nitrous oxide and molecular hydrogen. The latter, in part, may provide the energy needed to support the brine's diverse microbial life.
"It's plausible that a life-supporting energy source exists solely from the chemical reaction between anoxic salt water and the rock," explained Fritsen, a systems microbial ecologist and Research Professor in DRI's Division of Earth and Ecosystem Sciences.
"If that's the case," echoed Murray. "This gives us an entirely new framework for thinking of how life can be supported in cryoecosystems on earth and in other icy worlds of the universe."
Murray added further research is currently under way to analyze the abiotic, chemical interactions between the Lake Vida brine and the sediment, in addition to investigating the microbial community by using different genome sequencing approaches. The results could help explain the potential for life in other salty, cryogenic environments beyond Earth.
The Lake Vida brine also represents a cryoecosystem that is a suitable and accessible analog for the soils, sediments, wetlands, and lakes underlying the Antarctic ice sheet that other polar researchers are just now beginning to explore.
The funding for this research was supported jointly by NSF and NASA.

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — Myanmar's government on Thursday disputed accusations that it failed to protect a top U.N. human rights envoy who said his vehicle was attacked by a 200-strong Buddhist mob during a visit to a city where religious violence flared earlier this year.
President Thein Sein's spokesman, Ye Htut, said U.N. rights rapporteur Tomas Ojea Quintana was never in any danger during his visit this week.
He said members of the crowd approached Quintana's convoy in the central city of Meikhtila only to give him a letter and a T-shirt, "so what Quintana said is very different from the true situation."
Myanmar, a predominantly Buddhist nation of 60 million people, has been gripped by sectarian violence in the last year that has left more than 250 people dead and sent another 140,000 fleeing their homes. Most of the victims — including at least 43 from a March attack in Meikhtila — were Muslims.
Quintana's 10-day visit to Myanmar, which ended Wednesday, was in part aimed at investigating ongoing tensions and the response of the government.
Quintana said his convoy was mobbed Monday night as security forces looked on.
"The fear that I felt during this incident, being totally unprotected by the nearby police, gave me an insight into the fear residents would have felt when being chased down by violent mobs during violence last March ... when police allegedly stood by as angry mobs beat, stabbed and burned to death 43 people," he said.
Quintana slammed the government for failing to do its job. "The state has failed to protect me," he said.
Ye Htut had another version of events.
In addition to helping to disperse hundreds of people before Quintana's arrival — he said 100 were left by the time the convoy arrived — one police car was escorting the U.N. rights envoy and 30 other officers were controlling the crowd, he said.
"Police gave protection to him and people had no intention to hurt him," Ye Htut said, adding that police successfully cleared a path and the convoy passed without incident.
Myanmar only recently emerged from decades of isolation and military rule. One of the biggest challenges of the new, quasi-civilian government has been the rising anti-Muslim sentiment.
Quintana said his own experience "highlighted for me the dangers of the spread of religious incitement in Myanmar and the deadly environment that this can create."
"Although the chief minister declared that the trust had been restored, this does not reflect reality," he said.
The unrest began last year in the western state of Rakhine, where Buddhists accuse the Rohingya Muslim community of illegally entering the country to encroach on their land.
Quintana faced several smaller protests during his visit, most of them peaceful. Almost all were by Buddhists, who feel that the U.N. and other international agencies are ignoring their complaints and tilting relief and reconstruction efforts in favor of the Muslim community.
It was Quintana's eighth trip to Myanmar since being named U.N. rights rapporteur. He will present his findings to the U.N. General Assembly on Oct. 24.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Ethics Committee said Thursday it found no violations among House members whose mortgage loans went through the VIP section of the former Countrywide Financial Corp., the company whose subprime loans helped cause the foreclosure crisis.
The committee said nearly all the allegations of favored treatment involved loans that were granted so long ago that they fell outside the panel's jurisdiction. The committee added, however, that participation in the VIP program did not necessarily mean borrowers received the best loan deal available — and most lawmakers were not even aware they were placed in a VIP unit.
The actions of unnamed House staff members were harshly criticized. Emails indicated they reached out to Countrywide lobbyists for assistance with their personal loans, but those actions also were too old to remain in the committee's jurisdiction. The panel said that if the incidents had been more recent, the staff members could have faced discipline.
Countrywide was taken over by Bank of America in 2008. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee reported in July that Countrywide made hundreds of discount loans to buy influence with members of Congress, congressional staff, top government officials and executives of troubled mortgage giant Fannie Mae.
The Oversight report named six current and former members of Congress who received what Countrywide referred to as discounts. All of their names had surfaced previously.
The committee has no jurisdiction over actions that occurred more than six years prior to the current Congress — which began in January 2011.
But even if the statute of limitations had not run out, the committee said, inclusion in the VIP program was not by itself a violation of House rules or laws. The panel said it found that Countrywide's "discounts" applied to standard loan rates that were commercially available elsewhere.
"They are not the kind of 'gift' which would be, in and of itself, outside the realm of reasonable market rates for commercially available loans," said the statement issued by Ethics Committee Chairman Jo Bonner, R-Ala., and ranking Democrat Linda Sanchez of California.
Even so, the committee said, members must take steps to ensure they are being treated no differently than a member of the public who is similarly situated.
The committee statement added, "Of greatest concern...was email evidence regarding the specific conduct of some employees...who may have reached out to lobbyists or other government affairs officials at Countrywide for assistance with their personal loans."
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the Oversight Committee, which released the July report on Countrywide, said the finding of possible wrongdoing by congressional employees "clearly indicated that Countrywide's efforts were inconsistent with House rules."
"While short of formally determining a violation, this sends an unmistakable warning to any entity that might try to duplicate Countrywide's lobbying strategy," he said.
Issa added that his committee found that Countrywide employees viewed their VIP program as a tool to build relationships with those positioned to influence the company's business interests, including government officials.

Iran is a beautiful country with a wildly diverse landscape, a very hospitable people and a history stretching back thousands of years. A multi-cultural populace, though somewhat restricted by a conservative government, welcomes new visitors with open arms and friendly smiles. Thankfully, since sanctions have been lifted, westerners are now again allowed to visit this wonderful country. You can choose from exciting city breaks in Tehran or Isfahan, cultural tours in Qom and Shiraz or archaeological adventures in Persepolis and beyond.
Holidays in Iran can be everything from luxury spas at an oasis hotel to adventurous journeys through the desert. Visit sacred holy sites in Qom, go horse riding with the nomadic central tribes or try mountain biking in the foothills of Mount Damavand, the highest volcano in Asia. Tehran has a hugely varied cuisine, but with delicious staples like the Persian kabob and Ghormeh Sabzi (a lamb stew with beans), you are in for a culinary treat. Venture to Shiraz – famed for its lush green spaces – to see the bazaar and drink tea with the locals, and perhaps you will be asked to join them for dinner, which is fairly common in Iran.
Visit Iran's stunning cites, from the capital Tehran with its bustling streets to the quieter, architecturally beautiful, Yazd. Tehran is a modern city, with great museums, art galleries and parks waiting for you to explore. Go shopping, eat at fantastic restaurants and venture to the superb Green Palace to marvel at the stunning mosaics that festoon the walls. Or venture to Isfahan, the former capital, which is considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Its hand-painted tiling is mesmerising, and its tree-lined boulevards create a sense of serenity not found in Tehran.
Iran's history dates back thousands of years, and this can be seen in the ancient cities and spectacular ruins, like Persepolis. The former ceremonial seat of Darius I, Persepolis, has some very beautiful friezes depicting Persian nobles, and is a grand example of the architecture of his dynasty. Make your trip an adventure by travelling to the Dasht-e Lut desert, one of the world's hottest and driest places and clearly not for the faint-hearted. You can even go skiing in Iran, in Dizin, which with lifts up to 3,600 metres, is higher than most places you can ski in Europe.
Fly with British Airways and enjoy award-winning service and excellent value for money.

North Florida anglers all seem to agree that the fishing year is off to a very good start. Bass and speckled perch are spawning in several lakes, and inshore gulf fishing was far better than usual through January.
North Florida anglers all seem to agree that the fishing year is off to a very good start. Bass and speckled perch are spawning in several lakes, and inshore gulf fishing was far better than usual through January.
The Steinhatchee report from last weekend and early this week was not far-off from excellent.
Gainesville's Brad Riddle fished last Friday with fellow Steinhatchee Captains Don Campbell and Bob Erdman. The guides found plenty of speckled trout in deeper holes in tidal creeks near the Steinhatchee River mouth, and they caught limits of fish ranging in length from 16-to-23 inches with Saltwater Assassins and Mirrolures. Lots of gulf fishers will be interested to hear that the three fine anglers also located a bunch of sheepshead. The fish were neither in creeks nor out in their usual spawning territory. The hard-pulling bait stealers had gathered in water 6-feet deep on a rocky bottom north of the Steinhatchee channel. Fishing live shrimp, the men released several smaller fish and put a dozen nice ones on ice.
Tuesday, Capt. Brad and Capt. Don returned to creeks south of the river, where they again took limits of trout. It was the one that got away, however, that they talked about most. Campbell battled the huge fish through three drag-stripping runs, but the hook pulled out before he could bring it to Riddle's waiting net.
An accomplished and veteran angler, Campbell believes that this was a 30-incher, and, probably the largest trout he has ever hooked.
Trout, both the speckled and sand varieties, are still being caught in the Steinhatchee River. When I phoned the Sea Hag Marina Tuesday afternoon, Bobby Gastley of Clarksville, Ga. had just docked after a morning of casting white paddletail grubs in the river between Markers 23 and 18. He had hauled in several keeper trout, topped by a nice 22-incher.
Sunday, Gainesville anglers, Doug Barrett and Capt. Rick Davidson enjoyed stellar trout action. When the tide neared high that afternoon, they moved to a shoreline between Steinhatchee and Horseshoe Beach.
The Paul Brown Originals they cast drew strikes from twenty big trout. Five were at least 4-pounds, and the the best fish hit the 5-pound mark.
Butch and Robbie Baker fished Saturday out of Horseshoe Beach. Fishing Gulp! shrimp under popping corks, the Gainesville father and son found the trout in good supply on the flats. They pulled in around 60 fish, keeping the largest seven. While running over the clear shallows, they spotted a couple of large redfish as they spooked off.
Paul Schmidt proved that east coast fishers can succeed in the winter surf. Schmidt took advantage of perfect weather Sunday to climb out onto the rock jetty at Vilano Beach. Casting shrimp with a 3-ounce pyramid weight and a 6/0 circle hook, the Gainesville angler hauled in several nice redfish and a few small blues. The best bite, he said, came at the middle of the falling tide.
Speckled perch are still being pulled from shallow cover in Newnan's and Lochloosa Lakes. It seems that the crappie spawn has already lasted a long time this season … and the best month to catch shallow specks is usually February.
Bass have also shown up shallow and aggressive in several area lakes. Hunt Whaley's bass tale was among the most impressive from last weekend. The Gainesville angler fished Rodman Reservoir Sunday afternoon and located feeding fish near the Kenwood launch site. At one point, he caught two 4-pounders, a 3, and a 2 on four consecutive casts with a Bomber Long A. Whaley weighed his last two bass of the day — 5 and 6.5-pounds — on a hand-held digital scale before releasing them.
And congratulations go out to the UF Bass Fishing Team for their win last weekend on Lake Okeechobee in the Boat US Florida Collegiate Bass Trail Tournament. Stephen Carlisle and Shane Fussell bagged a 15.02-pound limit while casting Gambler Big Easy baits to outdistance the competition.
The Bassmasters of Gator Country will welcome Edward Leonard of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to its February meeting Monday evening at Gary's Tackle Box. Leonard will explain the FWC's new TrophyCatch Angler Recognition Program to attendees. Members will also draw for the monthly tournament — this one on Rodman Reservoir.
The meeting starts at 7:30 and everyone is welcome.
Gary Simpson, a veteran tournament angler, operates Gary's Tackle Box at L & S Auto Trim.

Git for Darcs Users
Just like Darcs, every Git command comes with a
--help option. For example
git add --help. You can also check out the official Git documentation.
Also see "General Notes" below for features present in Git but not in Darcs.
Git Concepts
In order to understand some commands it is important to compare both Git's and Darcs' internal model. A Darcs repository is a collection of patches with some dependencies between them. The working directory is what you get when you apply all those patches in a valid order.
Git on the other hand tracks states of the working directory. Each commit refers to a particular "version" of the working tree. So far, this is just a different view of the same thing, in fact, Git internally stores some sort of diffs for space efficiency. The important difference is that a Git commit also remembers which version we make our patch against, i.e., the parent of the new commit. Several commits can have the same parent or multiple parents, in which case they are merges. As a result, a Git repository forms a directed acyclic graph. These are often depicted in ASCII art like this:
o---o---o---o / \ o---o---A---o---o---o---B---o
After commit "A" two developers (or the same developer in different branches) performed different commits on top of the same original version. The "B" commit is a merge. If the two branches contained conflicting changes "B" would contain its resolution.
A branch in Git is now merely a pointer to a commit. For example, a typical situation is this:
o---o---o <-- feature1 ; o---o <-- develop ; o---o---A---o---o---o <-- master
Here we have three branches "feature1", "develop", and "master". "master" is the default branch that is created automatically, when you initialise a new Git repository. Some commands also default to the master branch for certain actions, but otherwise it is not special in any way.
Note that Git branches all exist in the same repository. You can have several physical clones of the same repository like in Darcs, but it is often more convenient to work with multiple branches in the same directory. The most important commands for working with branch are
git checkout and
git branch, see below.
General Settings
Just like Darcs, Git has global and per-repository configuration options. To globally set your committer name and email use
git config --global user.name "Haskell Curry" git config --global user.email firstname.lastname@example.com
Since Git keeps several branches in the same repository it is very useful to show the current branch in your shell prompt.
Git Overview
For an overview of what repositories (or parts of repositories) are modified by various git commands:
The git "local repository" corresponds to darcs internal store of patches. The git "workspace" corresponds to your normal code tree in darcs. The git "index" is a staging area within the current repository, for storing partially-committed hunks. It has no equivalent in darcs.
darcs init
git init
darcs get
git clone <repo-url> [<local-name>]
Possible repo URLs look like this:
git clone http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc.git # via HTTP (slowest) git clone git://darcs.haskell.org/ghc.git # git's protocol (fast, read-only) git clone [username@]darcs.haskell.org:ghc.git # via SSH
darcs put
There's no default command to do that, but the following should work:
ssh me@remote cd /some/directory.git git init --bare exit cd my/local/repo git push me@remote:/some/directory
--bare option disables a checkout of the working copy, i.e., only the contents of the
.git directory are stored.
Note: If the repository is supposed to be shared by several users, it's best to init it with either of these commands:
git init --bare --shared=group # everyone in the same group can read and write git init --bare --shared=all # same group can read/write, others can read
You can also set this after the fact, by setting the configuration variable
core.sharedRepository. See
git config --help for more information.
darcs add
git add <dir-or-file>
darcs record
Git supports interactive recording very similar to darcs.
git add -p
git add -i
The main difference is that Git does not automatically commit the changes. You have to do that manually using
git commit [-m "commit message"]
If you do not supply a commit message, it will open your default editor. If you want to abort the commit, use an empty commit message.
To see what will be committed, use
git diff --cached
Tip: If you want to see the diff when you edit the commit message, use
git commit -v
darcs record -a
git commit -a
This will add and commit all (not ignored) files. It will not add newly created files. (To do this call
git add . before in the repo root directory.)
darcs pull
There is no direct mapping for the interactive
darcs pull. Cherry-picking is not as streamlined as in Darcs.
darcs pull -a
Here is how you update (everything) from the source repo:
git pull
If all you want to do is to keep updated then this is fine. The above is actually a shortcut for
git pull origin
origin is the name of your default remote branch. (You can name it as you like, but certain Git commands will use
origin as the default if no argument is specified.)
XXX: will this pull into the current branch, or always into master? (Websites suggest always into master, so you likely need to follow
git pull with
git rebase <branch-name>)
Like in Darcs, you may get conflicts. To resolve conflicts, edit the conflicting file,
git add it, and
git commit it.
If you want to see whether you get conflicts before pulling
git pull is actually ... XXX
darcs push
Selectively pushing patches is not available directly in Git.
git push does the same as
darcs push -a.
A comparable interactive workflow is to merge a selection of patches from a local branch into the local master branch and then
git push that.
In general, even though a central repository is possible, Git promotes a pull model. That is, to work on a project you typically "fork" (
git clone) the source repository, add your changes, publish your repository, and send a pull-request to the upstream maintainer. The reasoning behind that is that you don't have something akin to a list of committers, but rather the maintainer has a set of trusted peers. This model is very different than what seems to be common among darcs users, but it has its advantages.
Obviously, this requires that it's made easy to publish your version of the repository easily. This is where websites like GitHub come into play. GitHub is free for open source projects (it offers a paid service with private repos), and makes it particularly easy to share with Git. GitHub automates things like forking and sending pull requests. GitHub has a quota of 100 MB, but a forked repository will not count on your quota. This is particularly useful for large code bases like GHC. (The GitHub quota isn't always correct; so if it seems wrong check again the next day.)
darcs push is also used to exchange patches between local repositories. See "Local Branches" below for how to work with branches in Git.
Of course, you need to be able to publish your local changes to a remote repo (even if it's not the main repo). This is done using
git push which is largely equivalent to
darcs push -a
darcs push -a
git push [<repo-url-or-alias>]
Without argument this will push to your
darcs changes
git log git log <file-or-directory>
darcs changes --last <N>
git log -n <N>
darcs changes --summary
git log --stat
darcs changes --match
git log --grep="something"
=-sign is important)
Other useful variants
git log -p
Shows the patch for each commit.
git grep <text>
Look for something anywhere in the repository's history (tag names, commit messages, file contents).
git show <commit-id>
Show the changes by the given patch
More examples.
git log v2.5..v2.6 # commits between v2.5 and v2.6 git log v2.5.. # commits since v2.5 git log --since="2 weeks ago" # commits from the last 2 weeks git log v2.5.. Makefile # commits since v2.5 which modify # Makefile
git log --help for a lot of extra options, to refine the output.
darcs tag
git tag <tagname>
This will fail if the tag already exists. If you want to move an existing tag use
git tag -f <tagname>, but never move a tag in a public repo/branch. Use this only on local branches, and only if the tag exists nowhere else.
git tag --help contains a discussion of this.
darcs whatsnew
git status
darcs diff
git diff
git diff <commit1>..<commit2> # show diff between two commits
darcs revert
Not sure if this gives you fine-grained reversion of individual hunks:
git reset --hard
git reset only resets the staged files, i.e., the things added with
git add.
darcs unrecord
Not sure if this will unrecord any patches except the most recent???
git reset --soft HEAD^
darcs unpull
darcs amend-record
It is not easy to amend any patch except the last one committed.
If the change to be amended is the latest commit
git commit --amend
TODO describe workflow if amended patch is not the current HEAD.
TODO add note for merge commits
darcs rollback
git revert <commit-id>
Working directory must be clean. (You can use
git stash to save local changes).
darcs annotate
git blame
General Notes

Local Branches
git branch git branch <name> git branch -b <name> git checkout git branch -d <name> git branch -D <name> git stash git show-branch
git pull git fetch git merge
Suggested Workflow
- feature branches
git rerere
Example Workflows
Fix a bug
git pull <upstream> # get latest changes git checkout -b fix_bug # start a branch to fix the bug # ... hack ... git add -i # select the proper changes git diff --cached # verify what will be committed git commit # ... test ... oops, forgot something git add -i # add the new patches git commit --amend # add them to previous commit # ... test ... looks fine now git checkout master # back to main branch git pull # make sure it's up to date git merge fix_bug # merge in our local changes # ... if we get a conflict here, edit the file then # ... add the changed files with git add, then git commit git push # push changes to personal public repo # or directly to <upstream> git branch -d fix_foo # delete the branch we no longer need
Yes, it is a bit more complicated than using darcs to do the same thing:
darcs pull <upstream> # get latest changes # ... hack ... darcs record # select the proper changes # ... test ... oops, forgot something darcs amend-record # add the new patches # ... test ... looks fine now darcs pull # make sure it's up to date # ... if we get a conflict here, edit the file then # ... darcs amend-record darcs push # push changes <upstream>

Presenting the annual holiday guide for women
Last week I compiled the holiday guide for men. This week, to be fair, it is the women's turn for much sought after advice for surviving the holidays with sanity, and if all goes well, marriages and relationships intact. If we work on preserving the sanity issue, I believe it is possible that the rest could take care of itself.
Women who wish to preserve their lucidity during the holiday season, especially during these trying times, must adhere to one rule. Do not expect men to respond to anything with even so much as a modicum of common sense as you understand the term.
How can that be? You ask. Aren't men allegedly the masters of logic, while women advocate emotional response to achieve the same end? Although that may be the accepted concept, I believe it is not entirely accurate.
Men are not complicated. They are disappointingly simple. If they ask, "What do you want for Christmas?" Do not think, "What is wrong with this twit? You don't ask people what they want for Christmas. What happened to the element of surprise?"
Moreover, whatever you do, do not respond with an intelligent inquiry like, "Why don't you use your imagination and give me something that you think would make me really happy?"
If you expect good results from that question, you will be disappointed to the extreme. You could expect more from someone who endured a frontal lobotomy. If you were rewarded with anything more than a thousand-yard stare, I would be amazed.
Men have imaginations that invent things like nuclear warheads and weapons of mass destruction. "An imaginative gift born of an understanding of the spouse they have lived with for years," does not compute in their little brains.
Now, you must make a decision. Do you want actual results, or do you want the man in your life to behave on your terms? If you expect both, we have reached an impasse. Both are not possible.
Try to understand that men are accustomed since birth to doing as they are told. Their mothers told them what to do. Then their teachers told them what to do, followed by those in command if they joined the armed forces, who told them what to do. Then bosses told them what to do at their respective jobs.
In other words, men are accustomed to taking orders, whereas girls and women are not. They do whatever they want. Why? Because they can. There is no real explanation for this. It just is. I suppose it is akin to explaining outer space. If space means nothing is there, why was it given a name? Men need orders. Accept it. Do not ask why. It will ruin the "Preserve Your Sanity Program."
When I stop to think about it, space is a good analogy when trying to explain what happens when men are asked to use their imagination to buy gifts for their spouses or significant others. The answer is nothing. Because nothing happens. That part of their brain either does not function, or, it is not there. I believe the latter.
The condition strongly supports the argument that the Divine power occasionally makes a mistake.
If you do not tell your man what you want for Christmas when he asks, he will take the advice his mother gave him when he was a little boy. "Never buy a person a gift that you would not buy for yourself."
Now think about that for a second. If he does as he was told, you could receive anything from an electric drill to a 9mm Uzi submachine gun. Unless you really want something like that, keep reading.
Tell the man in your life to give you something specific, like a new Mercedes, Porsche, Patek Phillipe watch, the Hope Diamond, or say, "Gimme money." Tell him that a shopping spree would be nice. But be specific. Give him a dollar amount or you might receive a quarter along with a card that says, "Shop till you drop."
The same rule applies if you want to go somewhere for a few days of vacation. Do not tell him you want to go somewhere warm. You could end up fishing for piranha in the jungles of the Amazon. Say "I want to stay in a suite at the Bellagio in Vegas for four nights," or "I want to spend a week at the Kahala Hotel and Resort on Waikiki Beach." Never say, "Surprise me."
Otherwise, this is where the element of "surprise" could take on an entirely different meaning than you had in mind. Trust me. I am certain of this.
Never leave anything to his imagination. Men assume that everybody, including you, thinks the way they do. If you tell them differently, they will walk around dazed and confused for months.
For those of you who are young and are just beginning to feel comfortable with your feminine wiles, learn to use "that look" to its best advantage. Most women learn the power of "that look" when they are very young.
My granddaughter used "that look" successfully for the first time when her older brother took her cookie when she was two years old. He hasn't eaten a cookie since.
"That look" has been used for everything from chilling beer to causing temporary blindness when men are walking on nude beaches with their spouses. If you are not aware of the applications, ask your mother. She will be happy to oblige you with a detailed explanation.
Okay. That covers the advice for this upcoming season. Just remember that the men in your life are simple people. You might even say they are delicate. It doesn't take much to make them behave or to confuse them while they live in this system that even you can't understand.

School is about to start again and I always think about the kids who don't get to sit at the "cool" table. A song popped up on the iPod that made me think about my prayer for these precious young souls. "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts offers a lot of lyrical wisdom and a wonderful sentiment.
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold…
As a parent you wish your child could avoid heartbreak and pain but the truth is nobody gets out of this journey unscathed. So you try to prepare them to deal with the inevitable bumps of life.
I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.
Recently I wrote to a young lady who was beginning to navigate high school while figuring out how her new found faith in Jesus factored in. I shared with her some things I wished I had known way back then.
1. I wish I had known that my high school years did not define me AT ALL.
My teen years were a mixed bag of memorable highs and incredible lows. Now I realize that what I once considered some of the worst moments of my life I am now grateful for experiencing. In many of those spiritual valleys you could not have begun to convince me that God was molding me or that those experiences could ever be of value. I knew the scripture just as you likely do…that in all things God works for the good of those who love him.
Do we know His attributes? Do we believe (really believe) His promises? If we do, then we must accept the troubles and "we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good". Romans 8:28 (MsgB)
I have developed a heart of compassion for those who are wounded. Why? God gave me the privilege of being wounded early in my life. That sounds crazy as I read back over that last sentence. It is not a sentence that I would have written twenty or perhaps even ten years ago. But I can see that my struggles as an overweight, geeky and generally outcast adolescent molded my heart to empathize with those who are hurt and ostracized by their peers.
Had I been the coolest guy or the best athlete or the most handsome I most likely would not have developed a sensitive spirit to others. So God gave me the opportunity on all of those fronts to develop sensitivity. I did not enjoy that period of my life. I would have given anything at that time to be one of the really popular kids. I would have told you that I would gladly trade nearly anything on the spot to be the starting quarterback or the big man on campus. I was desperate to be part of the cool group. With the benefit of hindsight I can promise you that I am grateful for every refining difficulty and problem. Such a dramatic change in attitude is a matter of time, growth in my relationship with Jesus and my trust in the truth of His promises. As G.K.Chesterton wryly noted, "Do not free a camel of the burden of his hump; you may be freeing him from being a camel." Had I been freed the burden of my "hump" (that tough teenage passage), I would not be who I am today.
So I hope your experience right now is better than mine. But if it is not or if it changes in the future, always remember that God is in control, He loves you more than you can fathom, and He will work it for good even if you cannot see it at the time.
2. I wish I had known that I needed to decide in advance what I would do in tough situations
Most of my mistakes as a teen were made in moments of peer pressure that I was not prepared to address. Joni and I tried to teach our sons that you decide in advance what your response will be to temptation. Decide in advance that you will call for a ride when asked to get in the car with a drinking driver. Decide in advance to not get yourself into a situation where sexual temptation will be an issue. Decide in advance that you will be kind to the less popular no matter how the "cool" kids view that action. Decide in advance to trust God as you make decisions that you fear might lessen your popularity or status. In the moment you tend to make wrong decisions so make them in advance and then stand firm.
3. I wish I had known that every person is created in God's image…and He loves them just as much as He loves me
Sparky Anderson, a former Cincinnati Reds manager, once said that "you can never go wrong being classy." And you can never go wrong being kind to everyone. Sometimes you will be tempted to ridicule or tease those who are less attractive, intelligent, gifted, or cool. Don't do it. When I went to my 25th reunion (ouch) I observed something interesting. Some of those "losers" are the "winners" now. They have wonderful families and lives. Some of the kids I was desperate to be like are still living off of moldy high school memories. High school is the start of a very long journey. Some people seem to be leading the life race coming out of high school. The real winners know that life is a marathon and that God has a plan for that long race. Be kind to everyone. Jesus loves them. And so should you.
4. I wish I had known that nothing outside of who I am in Christ can make me cool
There is nothing wrong with desiring to wear clothes and shoes that are fashionable. There is nothing wrong with being in activities that are popular. But it is wrong to think that those clothes or shoes or activities make you better than others. I really wish I had known that going along with the group and doing wrong things did not make me cool. I wish I had realized in high school that people look at those things but God looks on the heart. It is your heart that makes you who you are, not your outfit or activities or "rebellious" moments.
5. I wish I had known in high school that I needed to take responsibility for my own actions
Learn now to say these three sentences.
I was wrong.
I am sorry.
Forgive me.
And keep your "but" out of those statements. Don't say "I was wrong 'but' I didn't think it would hurt you" or "I am sorry 'but' I was having a bad day." Those are not real apologies. Take responsibility. Live with integrity. That will make you unique in this culture!
6. I wish I had known in high school that the 2nd most important decision I would make is who my friends were
Your friends have an influence on who you are and who you become. Pick them carefully. Young Christians often think they can influence their friends for Christ if they keep hanging out with them. Be careful that you don't lose the balance of fellowship and encouragement of Christian friends. Prayerfully seek a balance between the two. But understand that friends are a critical factor in your life and they will influence who you are…good or bad.
7. The most important decision I will ever make is who or what I worship
I did figure this one out to some extent in high school. Everyone one worships something or someone. It can be money or power or fame or popularity. I believe we are created to worship God. We have a yearning from our birth to find our purpose and significance. But if you don't find that relationship in Christ you will tend to fill it with wrong things. Often those things are not inherently bad. But they can become bad things when they become the focus instead of Jesus. We used to sing a camp song with these lyrics..
Seek ye first the kingdom of God
And His righteousness
And all these things shall be added unto you
There is nothing wrong with these "things" when you seek the kingdom of God first. One of my favorite passages is in the book of Colossians. Paul outlines what it looks like to be a real Christian. Living these five little verses will change your life.
Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. (Colossians 3, NLT)

That's one gorgeous bowl Wayne has. :mrgreen:tam bam
I was suggesting a trina effect because the aventurine was pulled in such a nice wavy manner that made it resemble other companies' trina. Personally I think this bowl is Fratelli Toso, mainly because it was the first company that came to mind when I saw it. Rose's bowl is not zebrati. Here is a picture of glass I consider as zebrati. http://www.20thcenturyglass.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65_71&products_id=1905

The OECD Global Science Forum (formerly the Megascience Forum) is a venue for meetings of senior science policy officials of OECD countries. Its goal is to identify and maximise opportunities for international co-operation in basic scientific research. The Forum establishes special-purpose working groups and workshops to perform technical analyses, and to develop findings and recommendations for actions by governments. These groups bring together government officials, scientific experts, and representatives of international organisations. Specifically, the Forum serves its Members in the following ways:
The Global Science Forum holds two general meetings each year and authorises specialised subsidiary activities as needed. The Forum produces findings and recommendations for action at senior administrative or operational levels. Recommendations to Science and Technology Ministers may also be made. Mechanisms are optimised for each topic under consideration, to produce policy-relevant findings, options, and recommendations for actions by governments:
Subsidiary activities of the Global Science Forum are proposed by Member delegations, and participants are appointed by governments. Potential involvement of non-OECD countries, international bodies, and other OECD committees must be considered to maximise opportunities for productive interactions, and to avoid unnecessary duplication. The Forum does not duplicate or interfere with the work of any other international organisation or process, nor does it consider matters that can be dealt with on a bilateral or trilateral basis. In general, purely scientific matters are not to be debated by the Forum or its subsidiary bodies. If unresolved scientific questions emerge during the course of a Forum activity, an appropriate recommendation for action can be made to a scientific body. If opportunities for co-operation are identified, interested governments will decide whether they wish to participate in discussions leading to the negotiation and implementation of international projects. The responsibility for negotiating final agreement and administering the co-operation will reside with the participating governments. The Forum itself will not play an operational role in funding or managing any scientific project or facility.

TO LOSE favor in Washington was once political poison for Israeli prime ministers. Twice during the 1990s, Israelis voted out leaders who quarreled with the U.S. president; the second one was Benjamin Netanyahu. So one of the more remarkable aspects of Israel's current election campaign, which ends at the polls on Tuesday, is that Mr. Netanyahu hasn't been afraid to play up his notoriously bad relations with President Obama.
Last week the Bloomberg columnist Jeffrey Goldberg reported that Mr. Obama had been privately repeating the observation that Mr. Netanyahu's Israel "doesn't know what its own best interests are." Rightly or wrongly, Israelis judged that to be a White House leak intended to damage the prime minister's electoral chances. Rather than flinch, however, Mr. Netanyahu pushed right back, boasting that he had "rebuffed the pressure" that would have had Israel "curb our pressure against Iran" and withdraw to its 1967 borders.
Evidently, Mr. Netanyahu calculates that being seen to stand up to this U.S. president is good politics in Israel — and he may be right. A recent poll showed that half of Israelis believes the prime minister should pursue his policies even if they lead to conflict with the United States. The big story of the campaign has been the surge of far-right parties that reject not only Mr. Obama's view of Israel but also the two-state solution that has been U.S. policy for more than a decade.
This disturbing trend is partly the result of Mr. Obama's poor handling of Israel, which he has not visited and where he is widely regarded as supportive of the nation's defense but unsympathetic to its psyche. If the White House were trying to undercut Mr. Netanyahu, it would be guilty of the same poor judgment the Israeli leader showed in tilting toward Mitt Romney in the U.S. presidential race. No scenario contemplated by political analysts foresees anyone other than Mr. Netanyahu emerging as prime minister from the bargaining that will follow Tuesday's election.
The question is whether the incumbent will choose, or perhaps be obliged by the electoral math, to include parties from the center and left in his coalition. If he does not, Mr. Netanyahu could find himself isolated both within his own government and internationally: He is one of only two of the top 30 candidates from his own Likud Party to endorse Palestinian statehood.
For that reason, the wise U.S. policy would be to concede, and maybe even welcome, Mr. Netanyahu's reelection while quietly urging him to construct a centrist government. In the coming months Israel and the United States will likely have an urgent need to communicate clearly and cooperate closely on the threat of Iran's nuclear program; and they must try to preserve the prospect of Palestinian statehood. Mr. Obama and Mr. Netanyahu may be political foils, but as each begins a new term their deeper interest lies in a reset of their relationship.
