Vol. II. The Beginnings of Americanism: 16501710
Verses from the Magnalia
was no poet, but like many of his quaint predecessors of the seventeenth century he thought it added dignity to his pages to insert poetical tributes to the distinguished men about whom he wrote. Some of these elegies and epitaphs were written by himself in the fantastic style of two generations before. Others, such as the lines on John Cotton by Benjamin Woodbridge, given in our first volume, were gathered from other sources. We here select some of Mathers own lines, some contributed by the Rev. Nicholas Noyes (16471717), pastor at Salem, the most fantastic of all our poets and an inveterate punster, an epitaph by the ingenious merchant, Mr. Samuel Bache, and a few verses by a certain Benjamin Thompson (16421714), who has the credit of being our first native born poet, of whom, however, very little is known. His
New Englands Crisis,
which is supposed to be an epic of King Philips War, seems to have been preserved only in selections, but our specimen of Thompsons verse will hardly cause great regrets for the fate of his
magum opus.
A Prefatory Poem, on That Excellent Book, Entituled
Magnalia Christi Americana;
Written by the Rev. Mr. Cotton Mather, Pastor of a Church at Boston, New England.
By Nicholas Noyes.
To the Candid Reader.
with huge love, of what to be possest,
I much despond, good reader, in the quest;
Yet help me, if at length it may be said,
Who first the chambers of the south displayd?
Inform me, whence the tawny people came?
Who was their father, Japhet, Shem, or Cham?
And how they straddled to th Antipodes,
To look another world beyond the seas?
And when, and why, and where they last broke ground,
What risks they ran, where they first anchoring found?
Tell me their patriarchs, prophets, priests, and kings,
Religion, manners, monumental things:
What charters had they? What immunities?
What altars, temples, cities, colonies,
Did they erect? Who were their public spirits?
Where may we find the records of their merits?
What instances, what glorious displays
Of heavns high hand, commenced in their days?
These things in black oblivion covered oer,
(As theyd neer been) lie with a thousand more,
A vexing thought, that makes me scarce forbear,
To stamp, and wring my hands, and pluck my hair,
To think, what blessed ignorance hath done,
What fine threads learnings enemies have spun,
How well books, schools, and college may be spared,
So men with beasts may fitly be compared!
Yes, how tradition leaves us in the lurch,
And who, nor stay at home, nor go to church:
The light-within-enthusiasts, who let fly
Against our pen and ink divinity,
Who boldly do pretend (but wholl believe it)?
If Genesis were lost, they could retrieve it;
Yea, all the sacred writ; pray let them try
On the New Word, their gift of prophecy.
For all them, the new worlds antiquities,
Smotherd in everlasting silence lies:
* * * * *
Who can past things to memory command,
Till one with Aarons breast-plate up shall stand?
Mischiefs remediless such sloth ensue;
God and their parents lose their honor due,
And childrens children suffer on that score,
Like bastards cast forlorn at any door;
And they and others put to seek their father,
For want of such a scribe as Cotton Mather;
Whose piety, whose pains, and peerless pen,
Revives New Englands nigh-lost origin.
* * * * *
He hath related academic things,
And paid their first fruits to the King of kings;
And Alma Mater that just favor,
To shew
sal gentium
hath not lost its savor.
He writes like an historian, and divine,
Of Churches, Synods, Faith, and Discipline.
* * * * *
The stuff is true, the trimming neat and spruce,
The workmans good, the work of public use;
Most piously designed, a public store.
And well deserves the public thanks, and more.
Upon the Death of Sir William Phips, Knt.
Late Captain General and Governour in Chief of the Province of the Massachuset-bay in New-England, who expired at London, Feb. 16941695.
And to Mortality a sacrifice
Falls he, whose deeds must him immortalize!
Messieurs; Netops rejoice; tis true,
Ye Philistines, none will rejoice but you:
Loving of all he dyd; who love him not
Now, have the grace of publicans forgot.
Our Almanacks foretold a great eclipse,
This they foresaw not, of our greater Phips.
Phips our great friend, our wonder, and our glory,
The terror of our foes, the worlds rare story.
England will boast him too whose noble mind
Impelld by Angels, did those treasures find,
Long in the bottom of the ocean laid,
Which her three hundred thousand richer made,
By silver yet neer cankerd, nor defild
By Honor, nor betrayd when Fortune smild.
Since this bright Phbus visited our shore,
We saw no fogs but what were raisd before:
Those vanishd too; harassd by bloody wars
Our land saw peace, by his most generous cares.
The wolvish Pagans at his dreaded name,
Tamd, shrunk before him, and his dogs became!
Fell Moxus and fierce Dockawando fall,
Charmd at the feet of our brave general.
* * * * *
Stout to a prodigy: living in pain
To send back Quebec-bullets once again.
Thunder, his music, sweeter than the spheres,
Chimd roaring canons in his martial ears.
Frigates of armed men could not withstand,
Twas tried, the force of his one swordless hand:
Hand, which in one, all of Briareus had,
And Hercules twelve toils but pleasures made.
* * * * *
Now lest ungrateful brands we should incur,
Your salary well pay in tears, great Sir!
* * * * *
But thou chief loser, poor New-England, speak
Thy dues to such as did thy welfare seek,
The governour that vowd to rise and fall
With thee, thy fate shows in his funeral.
Write now his epitaph, twill be thine own,
Let it be this, A PUBLIC SPIRITS GONE.
Or, but name PHIPS; more needs not be exprest;
Both Englands, and next ages, tell the rest.
On the Bright and the Dark Side of that American Pillar, the Reverend Mr. William Thompson; Pastor of the Church at Braintree. Who triumphed on Dec. 10, 1666.
may a rural pen try to set forth
Such a great fathers ancient grace and worth!
I undertake a no less arduous theme,
Than the old sages found the Chaldee dream.
Tis more than Tithes of a profound respect,
That must be paid such a Melchizedeck.
Oxford this light, with tongues and arts doth trim;
And then his northern town doth challenge him.
His time and strength he centerd there in this;
To do good work, and be what now he is.
His fulgent virtues there, and learned strains,
Tall, comely presence, life unsoild with stains,
Things most on worthies, in their stories writ,
Did him to moves in orbs of service fit.
Things more peculiar yet, my muse, intend,
Say stranger things than these; so weep and end.
When he forsook first his Oxonian cell,
Some scores at once from popish darkness fell;
So this reformer studied! rare first fruits!
Shaking a crab-tree thus by hot disputes,
The acid juice by miracle turned wine,
And raisd the spirits of our young divine.
Hearers, like doves, flockd with contentious wing,
Who should be first, feed most, most homeward bring,
Laden with honey, like Hyblæan bees,
They knead it into combs upon their knees.
* * * * *
Apollyon owing him a cursed spleen
Who an Apollos in the church had been,
Dreading his traffic here would be undone
By numrous proselytes he daily won,
Accusd him of imaginary faults,
And pushd him down so into dismal vaults:
Vaults, where he kept long Ember-weeks of grief,
Till Heaven alarmed sent him in relief.
Then was a Daniel in the lions den,
A man, oh, how belovd of God and men!
By his bed-side an Hebrew sword there lay,
With which at last he drove the devil away.
Quakers too durst not bear his keen replies,
But fearing it half drawn, the trembler flies.
Like Lazarus, new raisd from death, appears
The saint that had been dead for many years.
Our Nehemiah said, Shall such as I
Desert my flock, and like a coward fly!
Long had the churches beggd the saints release;
Releasd at last, he dies in glorious peace.
The night is not so long, but phosphors ray
Approaching glories doth on high display.
Faiths eye in him discernd the morning star,
His heart leapd; sure the sun cannot be far.
In extasies of joy, he ravishd cries,
Love, love the lamb, the lamb! in whom he dies.
An Elegant Elegy which Mr. Samuel Bache, an Ingenious Merchant, Made upon the Rev. John Wilson.
as the poor want succor, where is he
Can say, all can be said, extempore?
Vie with the lightning, and melt down to th quick
Their souls, and make themselves their pockets pick?
Wheres such a leader, thus has got the slight
T teach holy hands to war, fingers to fight;
Their arrow hit? Bowels to bowels meant it,
God, Christ, and saints, accept, but Wilson sent it.
Which way so eer the propositions move,
of his syllogisms love.
So bountiful to all: but if the poor
Was christian too, alls money went, and more,
His coat, rug, blanket, gloves; he thought their due
Was all his money, garments, one of two.
Upon the Very Reverend Samuel Whiting.
By Benjamin Thompson.
fame, the glorious chariot of the sun;
Through the worlds cirque, all you, her heralds, run:
And let this great saints merits be reveald,
Which, during life, he studiously conceald.
Cite all the Levites, fetch the sons of art,
In these our dolours to sustain a part.
Warn all that value worth, and every one
Within their eyes to bring an Helicon.
For in this single person we have lost
More riches, than an India has engrost.
When Wilson, that plerophory of love,
Did from our banks, up to his center move,
Rare Whiting quotes Columbus on this coast,
Producing gems, of which a king might boast.
More splendid far than ever Aaron wore,
Within his breast, this sacred father bore.
Sound doctrine Urim, in his holy cell,
And all perfections Thummim there did dwell.
His holy vesture was his innocence,
His speech embroideries of curious sense.
Such awful gravity this doctor usd,
As if an angel every word infusd.
No turgent style, but Asiatic store;
Conduits were almost full, seldom run oer
The banks of Time: come visit when you will,
The streams of nectar were descending still:
Much like Septemfluous Nilus, rising so,
He watered christians round, and made them grow.
His modest whispers could the conscience reach,
As well as whirlwinds, which some others preach;
No Boanerges, yet could touch the heart,
And clench his doctrine by the meekest art.
His learning and his language, might become
A province not inferior to Rome.
Glorious was Europes heaven when such as these
Stars of his size, shone in each diocese.

Tony Stark breaks all the rules (even the one that says superheroes must keep a secret identity), and he always seems to come out on top — that's why we love him. But now comes "Iron Man 2," a film about secret dangers, the sins of the father and the nasty price of modern celebrity. The movie lands May 7 in the U.S., and every day until then, we'll have behind-the-scenes scoops on the summer's most anticipated film.
A major theme of "Iron Man 2" is the churn and burn of public life — billionaire superhero Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is living large but he's also being poisoned by his celebrity, his past and, yes, even by that bright glowing disc in his chest that keeps his heart going even as it taints his blood.
So, because of the mad public-life theme, the Hollywood premiere for the movie on Monday was big, brash, loud and crazy at the edges. (It was also an interesting moment in the life of Marvel Studios and Walt Disney Entertainment, which walked down their first public red carpet together with the tentative hand-holding that you might expect in any arranged marriage.)
The premiere shut down Hollywood Boulevard and hundreds of fans and tourists turned out to gawk at the movie stars, the scantily clad cheerleaders in red-and-gold (they're called the "Ironettes") and the assembled press, which rearranged schedules to attend the affair — this premiere was supposed to be in London but the nasty ash cloud from that Icelandic volcano changed those plans. Yes, it sounds like a comic-book plot twist but isn't that appropriate? I'm not sure I would have been surprised Monday if Mickey Rourke shed his leather-lapeled suit and attacked the crowd with crackling laser whips. He didn't however, although at one point he did give his agent the slip; in the lobby of the El Capitan Theatre, ICM President Chris Silbermann walked up to a group of reporters and asked (with only mock distress), "Where's Mickey? Have you seen Mickey? I went to the bathroom and I came back and he wasn't in his seat." The star was located and guided to an elevated stage outside, where "Iron Man 2" director and costar Jon Favreau introduced his cast before fireworks were launched (and, yes, I confirmed that it was fireworks, not an attack by the Mandarin.)
Downey had arrived with an appropriate bit of James Bond flair by zipping up a narrow, blocked-off lane in a souped-up, soft-top white Audi R8 Spyder. He stopped curbside, hopped out to open the door for his wife and producer partner, Susan Downey (she's the executive producer of "Iron Man 2"). It's amazing to watch Downey these days –
– along with Johnny Depp, he's ascended to a star level that no one anticipated a decade and although Depp loses himself in the disguise of his roles, "Iron Man" succeeds by bottling its star's singular charisma and bad-boy background and presenting it as meta-entertainment.
On the red carpet I stopped to chat with "Iron Man 2" producer and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, who is the linchpin figure right now in this grand Hollywood adventure for the characters of Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and so many other comics creators. Feige told me a story: "Nineteen years ago I came down here and sat on some bleachers over there to see the original 'Star Trek' cast members put their handprints in the cement. I was a freshman at USC. I took a taxi up here. I remember looking around and thinking, 'Wow, why are these nerds here?' And then I realized, 'Oh wait …' "
On Monday, when Feige looked around, he saw a number of big-time comic-book creators, among them Geoff Johns, Mike Mignola, Brian Michael Bendis and Ed Brubaker. Bendis and Brubaker had never been to a premiere — each flew in for this one — and they were more than a little wide-eyed. "This is a nightmare," Brubaker told me in a text message as he tried to navigate the red-carpet's wall-to-wall chaos. We finally found each other and over the course the evening I got to introduce him to Dane Cook and Jeremy Renner but, alas, I couldn't get through the thicket surrounding Downey in order to bring together the man who killed Steve Rogers and the man who brought Tony Stark to life.
Hugh Hefner, fresh from the heroic act of saving the Hollywood sign, attended and, really, may have been the closest thing to a real-life Tony Stark in attendance — the young Howard Hughes wasn't available it seems. Also attending was portly porn star Ron Jeremy, not someone you usually see standing a few feet away from Disney chief Bob Iger.
Inside, ready to watch the movie, I found that our seats were next to to Louis Letterrier, the director of "Clash of the Titans" and "The Incredible Hulk" and one of the really nice guys in Hollywood. I first met him on the London set of "Clash" and, over the many months since, I could sense that he was really pained by the criticism of "Clash," particularly the savage rebuke of the 3-D effects. He never planned to make a 3-D film and the format wasn't his choice in the end, but Letterrier was the good solider throughout and even on this night he didn't utter cross word about it all.
It was an interesting room. Before the movie started, Adrien Brody (soon to be seen in "Predators") had long chat with Avi Arad, who was a key figure in the Marvel success story in Hollywood. Jeph Loeb was near the front of the room chatting with friends and engaging in the careful art of relentless crowd-scanning while speaking to someone. One entire row was taken up the military advisors to film, who wore their dress uniforms and sat with extremely good posture. Finally, the stars all arrived and the movie rolled. How was it? Well, I'm no movie critic, but I thought it was great fun, especially the Monaco race set piece and the relentless energy of Downey's one-of-a-kind jive. It was nice to see the chemistry between Gwyneth Paltrow and Downey take on new sizzle and Rourke was a wonderful study in sullen malice.
The movie may be too much, too loud and too silly for many people but it's also going to be a massive hit for those people who walk into a theater looking to fly away and laugh between the explosions. Afterward I saw Don Cheadle in the crowded lobby and we waved at each other. I asked what he thought. "I didn't know what to expect, I hadn't see it yet. So it was new to me. And liked it. I'm happy. It was fun." I couldn't agree more.

People wearing denim to support assault victims
People wearing denim to support assault victims
LOUISVILLE, Ky. —
You may see more people wearing denim in the middle of the week. It's to show support for survivors of rape and sexual violence.
The Center for Women and Families in Louisville says Wednesday is the sixth annual Denim Day event, and March and April are Sexual Assault Awareness Months in Kentucky.
The center is holding a news conference Wednesday morning in honor of the event and will be joined by health care representatives and a sexual assault survivor.
The center's website says the idea for Denim Day dates back to 1999, when a rape conviction was overturned in Italy because the victim was wearing tight jeans. The website says women in Italy's legislature protested by wearing jeans the next day.

Playing basketball in the new Ektio Breakaway
We had the chance to test the new Ektio Breakaway, which improves upon previous models through enhanced comfort, performance and ease of use. The new Ektio looks great and is sleeker than the first edition, but make no mistake, these new athletic shoes are as safe as ever with new breakthrough technology. With that peace of mind, basketball players have come to find out that there are more benefits to wearing the new Ektio than just looks and safety from injuries. A recent survey done by Ektio revealed that 42% of players felt that Ektio shoes improved their outside shooting efficiency compared to their prior sneakers. One of the fundamentals of consistent outside shooting is balance and stability. Ektio shoes, which provide ankle support technology designed to protect against sprained ankles, also offers maximum balance and stability for the foot and ankle. Basketball experts and trainers believe this is the explanation for the better shooting the Ektio shoe provides.
The shoe is very lightweight and gave us more ankle support than we could have hoped. John Starks, former New York Knicks guard and member of the Ektio Team, says this shoe will set the standard for maximum performance and ankle protection in basketball, tennis, volleyball and more. "We've taken our product to a whole new level," Starks said. "We're always striving to improve the product, and we've certainly done that with the Breakaway." Rick Barry, NBA Hall of Famer and member of the Ektio Team, has said, "I find it difficult to understand why any basketball player would not wear the Ektio shoe."
The slightly more difficult process of putting the old models of Ektio on is now eliminated with the Breakaway model. Two inner straps bring your foot and the shoe together as a single unit, minimizing movement going on inside the shoe. The movement that occurs inside every other shoe is what allows the ankle and shoe to move in separate directions, causing excruciatingly painful ankle sprains. With that movement minimized in the Ektio shoe, so are the chances of an ankle sprain. The mesh tongue and neoprene inner booty provide for a snug, comfortable fit while securing the inner straps to the shoe. The anti-sprain bumpers on the outside allow you to cut harder, stop shorter, and slide more powerfully defensively without the fear of the ankle giving out.
The Breakaway is scheduled to launch February 1, 2013 at Eastbay.com, Amazon.com and Ektio.com. The Ektio Breakaway will retail for $129.95.

Editor's note: Robin Washington is a research scholar for the San Francisco-based think tank Be'chol Lashon. He lives in Duluth, Minnesota. He was previously the editor of the Duluth News Tribune. You can follow him on Twitter @robinbirk. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the author.
(CNN) -- In Neshoba County, Mississippi, on the night of June 21-22, 1964, James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner went missing. Their bodies would be discovered in an earthen dam 44 days later as the ultimate payment for their efforts to secure voting rights for all Americans.
Yet 50 years later, it's as if it barely happened.
A right-leaning Supreme Court has decimated the Voting Rights Act, the very law inspired by the deaths of those three young men. Their rulings have given the OK to conservative legislatures and governors nostalgic for the Old South to reinstitute roadblocks to voting.
What happened to learning from history?
You might remember this case was the basis of the 1988 movie "Mississippi Burning," which starred Gene Hackman as a crusading FBI agent bent on getting to the bottom of killings by the Ku Klux Klan, though it's hardly historically accurate.
"The movie I love to hate," Steve Schwerner, Michael's brother, told me from New York last week. "It makes out the FBI as the hero (yet) the Civil Rights Movement felt that the FBI was the enemy and was working with local law enforcement (who were Klan members) much more than the movement."
Chaney's sister, Julia Moss-Chaney, also decried the portrayal of a "hero FBI."
"Tell me about it," she said from her home in Willingboro, New Jersey. "If all of that had been invested, it wouldn't have taken 44 days" to find the bodies.
Or even longer if two of the missing men had not been white. Schwerner and Goodman were white and Jewish from New York. Chaney was a black Mississippian. In a bitter irony of what the three men stood for, it was the notion of white lives being more valuable than black that helped bring their deaths to national attention.
"It's no secret that had my brother not been with Mickey Schwerner and Andrew Goodman, we would not have known anything of what had happened to him. It's a painful reality, but it is common knowledge," Moss-Chaney said.
Schwerner agreed.
"We wouldn't be talking right now if it was only Jim Chaney or if it was three Mississippi black people. There were many people that had been killed in Mississippi beforehand, and with the exception of Medgar Evers never made The New York Times, never made NBC News. Nobody ever mentioned their names."
Michael Schwerner had arrived in Mississippi earlier that spring. Teaming up with Chaney, he immediately raised the ire of the Ku Klux Klan.
"He was targeted from the moment he arrived," Moss-Chaney said. "You know the nature of hate: 'Let me first make sure I degrade you to the degree in my mind that you are less than human.' There's nothing less than human for a white man to be than a 'n----- lover.' Once that's established, then anything goes."
Goodman joined them on June 20, 1964. They were riding in a blue Ford station wagon the next day when a deputy sheriff stopped them.
"It is sad, heartbreakingly sad, that Andy's first day in Mississippi was the last day of his life," Moss-Chaney said, her voice going quiet.
What were they doing that so outraged the good old boys? Aside from just being black and white together, their major work was voter registration, at the time barred to black people unless they could answer impossible questions such as how many bubbles are in a bar of soap.
An FBI investigation did lead to the federal conviction of seven conspirators in the case. Mississippi didn't get around to prosecuting the case until more than 40 years later, when Klan leader Edgar Ray Killen was convicted and sentenced to three maximum 20-year terms for the murders.
The killings fueled passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964 and the Voting Rights Act the next year. Yet much of that progress was turned back in 2013 when the U.S. Supreme Court gutted crucial provisions of the Voting Rights Act. It followed that in April with a ruling against affirmative action efforts in higher education.
Part of the justices' argument was that federal actions to assure equality at the ballot box have been successful, so they're not needed anymore. But that's like saying a car rolls well with wheels, so you can take them off. And proof that it doesn't work is that as soon as those enforcement measures were lifted, voter restrictions returned in the form of less-than-logical Voter ID laws.
One of those allows prospective voters to present gun registration cards as acceptable proof of eligibility, but not student IDs, Attorney General Eric Holder said in December. Is that any less ridiculous or subjectively discriminatory than asking voters to count bubbles in a bar of soap?
Yes, the arc of the moral universe is long and may bend toward justice, but it also makes a couple of back flips along the way.
"We've certainly made some progress," Schwerner said of where the country is now, a half century after the murders. "On a scale of 1 to 10, if you started at 1 when Brown vs. Board of Education came down in 1954, we might be at 4 now."
For that, three men gave their lives.

Deportation and Postponement
If are an non-citizen of the United States and are facing the
deportation, otherwise defined as the process of expelling a foreigner
from the country, you will likely seek the the assistance of a lawyer to
get permission to remain in the country legally. This postponement is
called a "stay of deportation" or "stay of removal".
There are various government agencies involved in the immigration
process. Each agency handles requests for a stay of deportation and
appeals differently.
Typically, a stay of deportation would be requested while you are appealing your case.

The simplest things in life often bring us the most pleasure, and this one sits somewhere in that category. One of the defining features of the new LG Nexus 4, is of course the pattern on the rear. Paying homage to the original Nexus One live wallpaper pattern, caught in the right light it's a pleasure to look at. Not content with limiting to the rear of Google's latest baby, there's now a live wallpaper that attempts to bring the effect to the front.
Simply known as Nexus 4 Dot Live Wallpaper, it's available for free download from the Google Play store now. There's a bunch of advertisements to deal with, but only in the settings menu. There's a few different settings to customize, namely color, size of the dots and the speed of the animations. Our personal preference is for small white dots -- the closest resemblance to the actual pattern on the Nexus 4. Click on past the break to see how it looks in a couple of other colors, or head on over to the Play Store and snag yourselves a copy.

"Two weeks ago, Steve Wozniak made a public call for Apple to open its platforms for those who wish to tinker, tweak and innovate with their internals. EFF supports Wozniak's position: while Apple's products have many virtues, they are marred by an ugly set of restrictions on what users and programmers can do with them. This is most especially true of iOS, though other Apple products sometimes suffer in the same way. In this article we will delve into the kinds of restrictions that Apple, phone companies, and Microsoft have been imposing on mobile computers; the excuses these companies make when they impose these restrictions; the dangers this is creating for open innovation; why Apple in particular should lead the way in fixing this mess. We also propose a bill of rights that need to be secured for people who are purchasing smartphones and other pocket computers."

MAYFAIR MEMORIES: "There were days when I could barely afford to shop in Mayfair!" said a nostalgic Diane von Furstenberg, who will open her second central London store today on Bruton Street in Mayfair.
Von Furstenberg was referring to her student days at boarding school in Oxfordshire, when she and her mates would hop the train and spend the day shopping in London. "I love Mayfair — I still do my shopping here," she said during a walk-through of the 2,650 square foot store.
The shop bears all of the designer's trademarks: The small, round mirrors on the walls, the Indian-inspired mirrored curtains in the dressing rooms, the hot pink banquettes and the plush, graphic rugs she's designed with The Rug Company.
The store is the first in London to carry the full range of DVF products, including her jewelry for H. Stern, Christian Louboutin shoes, and her accessories collection.
The Mayfair store leads off a marathon of European openings for von Furstenberg, who will christen stores in cities including Paris, Brussels, Madrid, Moscow and Hong Kong over the next few months.
"It's a lot of back and forth and a lot of traveling," said von Furstenberg, who served cocktails to guests including Jemima Khan, Naomi Campbell, Michael Roberts and Kinvara Balfour on Sunday afternoon. "But opening stores is certainly a lot better than closing them."
MENKES FIRES BACK: Lest anyone think Suzy Menkes' sword is mightier than her pen, the International Herald Tribune critic would like to clarify her comments about wanting to murder Marc Jacobs "with my bare hands," after waiting two hours for his show to begin. Menkes talked to WWD Sunday about the Jacobs comment and other issues addressed in Thursday's front-page story headlined "Jacobs Blasts Back." "I'm afraid my British sense of humor fell flat," Menkes said. "My remarks about murdering Marc Jacobs were meant as a joke, and probably a very bad one. What I actually did [that night] was to tear apart a pizza with my bare hands, as my dinner with Stephanie Solomon of Bloomingdale's — in memory of Kal Ruttenstein — was totally screwed." (Solomon is vice president of fashion direction at the store and the late Ruttenstein had been senior vice-president of fashion direction.) "I know what Kal would have said about the two-hour wait: 'If the show is worth it, who cares?'"
This story first appeared in the September 17, 2007 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Well, Menkes clearly did, and wrote a scathing review of the show. On Sunday, she declined to comment on the review or Jacobs' reaction to it. However, Menkes did weigh in on the timing of the New York shows and the Jewish holiday. "I was never called by, or spoke to, the CFDA at any time to discuss show dates and the Jewish holiday. I wish they had asked my opinion, because I think the New York shows were much too early and must have put a strain on all designers relying on European fabrics." As for her Jewish faith, Menkes asked: "Am I really the only person in the fashion community who is involved in the holidays?"

Fortunately, my husband is very easy to please. His favorites are some of my simplest recipes, like meatloaf, Sloppy Joe's and Roast Chicken. But, whenever we go out to a "nice" restaurant, and Craig sees "Osso Buco" on the menu-- I already know that's what he's going to order.
Searing and braising is one of my favorite cooking methods. The prep work might take up to an hour, but in the end-- I can just sit down and relax while my Dutch Oven turns an inexpensive cut of meat into something that is tender, and has a beautiful sauce.
To finish the recipe, I remove the bay leaves (of course). To thicken the sauce, I use about 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch, whisked with about equal water. It is sloooooooooowly added in, a bit at a time, until it reaches the thickness that I like.

Risk analysis has grown to be a critical function in enterprises. As organizations are confronted with more threats, gaining a more precise understanding of which risks are the most serious ones to address is important. The Open Group published our Risk Taxonomy Standard, based upon Factor Analysis for Information Risk (FAIR) to address the need for a standardized taxonomy in risk analysis. To help further the risk analysis profession, The Open Group is launching a new risk analyst certification program.
This session will explore current issues in risk analysis, describe various types of risk analysis frameworks and methods, and it will highlight the elements of risk analysis that the new Open Group certification will test competency in. It will also provide an overview of the certification program and the various testing options.
The Open Group FAIR Certification Program is aimed at meeting the needs of risk analysts and organizations employing risk analysts. The program is based upon FAIR, an open and independent information risk analysis methodology. FAIR is gaining significant acceptance among large organizations as a leading risk analysis methodology. The Open Group has published two standards based upon FAIR:
These two standards constitute the body of knowledge for The Open Group FAIR Certification Program.

Big Data: The Power of APIsMarcillo Oliveira, Sensedia
Big Data: The Power of APIs
Marcillo Oliveira, Sensedia
APIs or Application Programming Interfaces are at the core of emerging technologies such as Cloud Computing, Big Data, Mobile and Social. APIs could be catalysts on initiatives like mobility, distributed information access, social networks integration, brand awareness and to foster innovation.
Facing this, some nice stories could be told: Apps like Waze are changing our way to drive giving us accurately routes and estimated time to arrive to destination based on traffic condition reported by users; write your notes on paper notebooks are really old fashioned after apps like Evernote. Furthermore Dropbox, Foursquare, Whatsapp, Soundcloud and a lot of other services have been dramatically changed our relation with technology. We are - literally - surrounded by mobile apps (now even wearable things), social media and lots of things in the cloud (data, platforms, softwares and more).
But what makes some APIs be so successful - like the Twitter API which have around 13 billion access per day - and some to be unnoticed? That is the point: there are some architectural and design details that could make all the difference between a good (and just well made) API and a successful (and powerful) API.
In this presentation, the goal is to unveil some secrets that will help you get your API well designed and made to be powerful and successful.
Intended audience: Software Architects, IT Managers and Developers
Key takeaways:
- Understand the use and concept of an API besides Social Networks environment
- Building successful open APIs: definitions and best practices
Marcillo Oliveira is Sensedia's COO and Head of Innovation and Technology, and currently leads the In-Company Training, the Innovation Office and the SOA & API Strategy and Deploy Initiatives.

SEC Power Rankings: Week FourPosted by DPerry on December 14th, 2012
Every week, the SEC microsite will post a composite power ranking list for the league's performances coupled with a short commentary justifying each team's specific ranking. Here are Week Four's SEC Power Rankings (all statistics via TeamRankings).
- Florida– There's not a lot missing from the Gators' resume. They've beaten every opponent by double figures, while playing the nation's 13th toughest schedule. As of the release of last week's rankings, however, they hadn't had the chance to prove their mettle in a true road game, a situation in which they struggled last season (losing their first four). After their trip to Tallahassee last week, consider that mettle proven. The Gators embarrassed rival Florida State in a 72-47 win, holding the Seminoles to only 15 first-half points. Florida's ability to win away from the O-Dome will be crucial over the rest of the season. In addition to this Saturday's trip to Arizona, the Gators will have road games at Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, and Kentucky, all among the more hostile environments in the SEC.
- Missouri– Do I have to put a team here? There's a massive gap between Florida and the rest of the conference, but the Tigers are the choice at #2. Missouri hasn't been tested against quality competition since they left the Bahamas, but their performances against smaller conference foes have been far from convincing. A nasty little habit of starting slow has been their biggest problem. The Tigers trailed Southeast Missouri State by 10 at the half, and only held a three-point advantage over Tennessee State after 20 minutes. In fact, Mizzou ranks 101st nationally in first half scoring margin, at only +3.1 points. Big second half scoring outputs have saved Frank Haith's team, but with Brandon Paul and the Fighting Illini looming next week, another slow start may be too much to overcome.
- Kentucky– After consecutive losses to Notre Dame and Baylor, the Wildcats made history when they dropped out of the rankings from the #8 spot, receiving only 186 votes, the largest single-week drop in AP poll history. Kentucky proceeded to easily handle its next two opponents in Samford and Portland, but somehow fell even further in the next AP poll, garnering only 44 votes. I'm not claiming that the Wildcats deserve to be ranked, but why would they lose ground after two convincing victories? It appears that quite a few voters realized a week too late that they were allowed to leave Kentucky off their ballots. Read the rest of this entry »

Ma gets second FP1 call up for HRT

- Luis Perez-Sala
- Teams:
Chinese driver Ma Qing Hua will take part in his second Friday morning practice session in a row at the Singapore Grand Prix next weekend.
HRT opted to run Ma in Narain Karthikeyan's HRT during first practice at the Italian Grand Prix and is set to give him a second outing in Singapore.
"I'm very happy to drive the F112 for a second time in a row and I really appreciate the opportunity HRT is giving me," Ma said. "It will be very exciting to drive a F1 around the streets of Singapore. It's a very demanding track for all of us, but it will be even more of a challenge for me as this is only the second time I will be driving the car at a race weekend.
"But I am looking forward to it and the laps that I added to my tally at the last grand prix in Monza have given me plenty of confidence. I have prepared myself in the simulator as well as doing some specific exercises to be used to driving at night. This is yet again another step in my career and I look forward to getting more experience at the wheel of a Formula 1 car as well as doing my best to help the team to prepare for the race".
Team principal Luis Pérez-Sala added: "Ma will step into the car once more for the first free practice session and the objective is for him to continue learning and improving as he did in Monza, where we were very happy with his work and performance."

I'm member of the Octagon Park tennis on Roosevelt Island and I am looking for a tennis partner to play regularly, intermediate to advanced level.
I just entered my thirties and I have been playing tennis forever, except in the last 2-3 years, but I have no idea what my ranking would be in the US (I'm Swiss).
Looking forward to hearing from anyone interested!

Hi Niklaus,
I would be available on weekends (preferably starting early mornings) and if I can get to your courts by subway. I live in Forest Hills.
Hi guys,
That's great! So either you have to be members (150$ Yearly) or I can purchase guest passes (I actually don't know how much they cost, I need to go ask). Hope it doesn't turn you down.
Early Weekend mornings would be fine for me.
@Danny: The F train from Forest Hill stops at Roosevelt Island
Hi Niklaus,
Sounds good. I would be happy to reimburse you for the guest pass. I am available this weekend, 8:30/9 AM on either Saturday or Sunday. Hopefully there is a cab from the train station to the courts; otherwise, I'll have to walk it. :)
Hi Niklaus,
Are you available this weekend, either Saturday or Sunday morning?
Sorry, I am actually abroad, not checking my E-mails too much. I'm coming back Monday, so this weekend won't do. Are you available next weekend?
Yes, I would be. Either Saturday or Sunday, but I would prefer to begin no later than 9 AM. Let me know if that works for you.
Hi Niklaus,
Looks like next weekend is booked unfortunately. You want to try for either the 11th or the 12?
Yeah that sounds good. Both are fine for me.
To make things a bit simpler, here is my E-mail address: firstname.lastname@example.com
Hey Min,
did you follow any of the rest of the discussion? Are you still interested in playing?
Yes you have to be member, or I can buy guest passes. Membership is 150$ per year, guest passes are 10$ I think (I'll go tomorrow or Wednesday to buy some).
If you want to contact me by E-mail (which I check more often than this website): email@example.com
I'm playing Sunday morning with Danny, and probably will want to go playing some beach volleyball on Sturday morning, so if you're available a Weekday evening that would probably be better for me. Let me know.

I don't think it will be on DVD in the Fall. Maybe next Feb. or something.
I also have thought about the day when I finally get to show my boys the movies and we start with 1 and 2 and then we have to skip 3 for 4,5 and 6. Its sort of dumb on one hand that they decided to do PG for 1 and 2 but decided to go all out for 3. It should have been all or none. Maybe its a sign that they realize this is an adult based franchise after all
I think I was planning on waiting at least until they were 5 (again remembering my own reactions) Its different now then it was then in that we could watch them over a few weeks (instead of waiting 3 years), I know what is coming (while my parents didn't) etc
Quote from: CHEWIE on April 5, 2005, 02:00 PMI don't think it will be on DVD in the Fall. Maybe next Feb. or something. There is already a release date believe it or not for the Fall Holiday season. Same as what was done for EP1 and E2.
I think I'd let Max watch them now though too (with some FF in some parts), the War Department on the other hand would put the clamps down rather quickly. So, I have to respect her wishes and let it slide for a few years.
My point is, is that this stuff is 100x worse than anything thats been in any SW movie and people I think are thinking its going to be like the other 5
Even the Friday the 13th movies were awesome in my book.

Failure to start 2nd Perl applicationby bensonmonk (Novice)
|on Oct 06, 2013 at 15:06 UTC ( #1057155=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
bensonmonk has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I have an Perl application which starts another Perl application with the code
This has worked on a number of PCs with various flavours of windows os until now!
The PC which is failing has a specification of
Operation system Windows XP;
Physical memory – 2GB;
Processor – Intel Pentium dual core 1.6
When I try to start the 2nd application, the Physical Memory graph on the Performance tab of the Windows Task Manager shows a steady increase in memory usage from about 1.01 GB to 2.6 GB when the memory drops suddenly back to 1.01 GB with an indication that the 2nd process has finished (although it has not started fully).
Can anyone tell me why this has failed and how to get the 2nd application to start?
