MST and Kazakhstan partner, Skymax Technologies, recently participated at MinTech 2015 in Ust-Kamenogorsk City, Kazakhstan, 20th to 22nd May, showcasing a number of MST's products and solutions at the mining exhibition.
Over the last 18 months, Skymax's technical teams have undergone intensive training and their collaboration with MST provides excellent local service and support for MST technologies and growing customers in the region.
Like mine operators everywhere, the Kazakhstan mining industry are increasingly looking towards technology to optimize their mining operations.
Kazakhmys, a progressive mining company in Kazakhstan, exemplifies this technology trend.
Wanting to upgrade their operations, the successful initial installations of MST's VDV Leaky Feeder Radio System and ImPact Digital Network at two of Kazakhmys' underground mining operations, helped to ensure they remained competitive in terms of production costs over the coming years.
MST's VDV Leaky Feeder radio systems provides Kazakhmys with multi-channel voice communications to key personnel and vehicle drivers throughout their two mines, while the MST ImPact Network provides high bandwidth connectivity to a range of their mines' IP devices and applications, including IP Video Cameras, fixed VoIP Telephones, underground PC's, and IP Public Addresses & Alarm Systems.
Importantly, the core ImPact Network and associated NS50 AP nodes can form the basis of an advanced tracking and fleet management system that the mining company plan to implement in further stages of their mines' technology upgrades.
As the Kazakhstan mining industry pro-actively seeks to improve their operational efficiencies, MST looks forward to similar projects in the region with the support of MST partner, Skymax Technologies.

Coal traffic shipments, especially thermal coal, are yet to pick up at major ports. The signs of recovery in coal volumes, which were supposed to begin from the second half of this financial year, are still not in sight.
Thermal or steam coal cargo shipped through major ports saw de-growth of nine per cent during April-November. In the same period, coking coal traffic moved up 2.27 per cent, reveals data by the Indian Ports Association.
The slide in thermal coal cargo was due to a lesser volume of imports. Imports of thermal coal have been on a downtrend in the current financial year (FY).
The country is now the second-largest consumer-cum-importer of thermal coal but imports are sliding. During April-October of FY18, thermal coal imports declined 16 per cent to 33.62 million tonnes.
"Coal volumes at major ports would grow after imports gain momentum. The domestic market presents a scenario of tight coal supplies due to supply bottlenecks. This is expected to prompt the industries to buy more imported coal although viability would be an issue", said an energy sector analyst.
The thermal power plants across states are reeling under coal shortage stress due to unavailability of railway rakes to transport coals from mines to power plants. The government through schemes like SHAKTI (Scheme to Harness and Allocate Koyla (Coal)) and policies have been trying to highlight the need to cut on imported coal for power generation by thermal plants. At the same time, inadequate infrastructure and lack of comprehensive planning has led to the schemes being unable to achieve the desired targets. Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh have been highly affected by the coal shortage.
Data by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) shows at the end of October, power plants with an aggregate capacity of 25,000 megawatts are saddled with coal shortage as 14 plants face supercritical stock of coal inventory. Another nine plants have less than seven days of coal stock and are categorised as 'critical'. Coal shortage has been more glaring after August due to drop in hydro and nuclear power generation. Given the trend in coal shortage fuelled by inadequate rakes, coastal power plants may step up their imports, countering the downtrend in coal imports in the first half of this year. State-run power plants have almost imported two million tonnes of coal in 2017.
The supply constraint has become a sore point among industries dependent on domestic coal. Aside from thermal power stations being worst hit by coal crunch, Captive Power Plants (CPPs) owned by industries, including steel, cement, aluminium and paper, are in the soup.
Indian Captive Power Producers' Association (ICCPA) has written to Coal India chairman, pointing to the severe coal shortage faced by CPPs that are at risk of closure. Against the stipulated 75 per cent coal mandated in the Annual Contracted Quantity (ACQ), the CPPs are getting 15-50 per cent coal.

In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, many still enjoy a simple breakfast of coffee and toast from modest and traditional-looking coffee shops for under RM2 (about 65 cents), while reading newspapers or chit-chatting with friends or family on a lazy morning.
Currently, those that want wireless Internet services along with their meals usually opt to go to more expensive cafes such as Starbucks or restaurants in shopping malls.
However, the pattern may change with a new ruling for almost all restaurants in the city to provide wireless Internet services.
In efforts to make Kuala Lumpur a city with full wireless Internet (WiFi) coverage, the city government recently required all food and beverage outlets to provide such services to customers by April this year.
The requirement is mandatory for all new food operators with premises bigger than 120 square meters in floor size, when they apply for an operating licence. Existing vendors must provide the service before they can renew their business licence.
Cafes, pubs, bars and club lounges are also required to provide WiFi services, the mayor of Kuala Lumpur, Tan Sri Fuad Ismail, was quoted as saying to a Malaysian newspaper recently.
"The WiFi service is in demand and food outlet operators who offer it will be giving their customers value-added services. The outlet operators are free to provide the WiFi services to their customers for free or for a reasonable fee," he said.
Wong Hon Yau, a 29-year-old engineer living in Kuala Lumpur, says having wireless Internet services in all restaurants will add convenience to patrons. "Customers will not be confined to cafes that serve pricey drinks to get connected to the Internet," he said.
While this requirement does not affect food and beverage outlets that already provide wireless Internet service, it could impact smaller establishments such as coffee shops serving local cuisine.
Restaurant and coffee shop vendors are caught off guard by the requirement, as they said it would mean extra costs to them.
"I am not aware of such ruling as the City Hall has not given me any notices on the ruling," said M. Yusoff, an owner of a local coffee shop. He said he might have to raise the prices of the food and drinks on the menu.
A spokesperson of the Chinese Restaurateurs' Association of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor said its members are also not aware of the ruling and found it absurd that the City Hall should force businesses to provide such services.
"If customers want to spend time surfing the Internet while drinking their coffee, they should go to cafes such as Starbucks. Why make smallish restaurants provide such services too?" he said.
Restaurant operators are wary of the ruling mainly because they are worried that patrons would spend longer time sitting in the premises. "For most of these smallish eateries, we depend on a faster turnover of customers. If the customers refuse to leave because they want to take advantage of the wireless Internet services but at the same time not order more food or drinks, we, the vendors, may end up making losses in our businesses," Yusoff said.
Many restaurants and cafes, especially those serving mid-priced food and drinks, offer wireless Internet services to attract patrons. Kuala Lumpur became the first "wired" city in the country when it began offering a municipal wireless network known as "WirelessKL" in 2008. Penang, a popular tourist island in the north of Peninsular Malaysia, started its own municipal wireless network a year later.
Nevertheless, Malaysia still lags behind many other Asian countries when it comes to broadband Internet penetration. Only about seven out of 100 Malaysian residents were broadband Internet users in 2010. The number was 25 out of 100 in Singapore, while Hong Kong and South Korea have 30 and 36 broadband users per 100 inhabitants, respectively.

The "Antifa" (short for "Anti-fascist action"), also known as the ARA (short for "Anti-Racist Action") is a mob of far-leftists that seek to cause mayhem in the streets of America and Europe. Despite its name, the Antifa movement is an intolerant hate group that uses fascist tactics and direct quotations from Adolf Hitler.[1][2] They are also anti-American in outlook, as when descending on an otherwise peaceful protest on Berkeley Campus in 2017, one chant demanded "No U.S.A. at all!"[3]
Although Antifa itself existed as early as 2017, the concept of anti-fascism, especially as a far-left ideology, existed as early as World War II for propaganda purposes, where Stalin referred to the USSR as "anti-fascist", with the obvious implication that the USSR and Stalin were "morally better" than the Nazis and Hitler, using the misapplication of Nazism and fascism as being of the far right instead of being of the far left.[3]
In the United States, Antifa is an effort the counter the rollback of socialist "progress" during the Obama administration. Socialists consider all forms of capitalism as "fascist," and the repeal of the Obamacare individual mandate was a devastating blow to "socialist progress."
In the United States, they rose up at the University of California, Berkeley in response to Democrats losing the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. They claim that those individuals that support President Donald Trump and other conservatives are "Nazis". In Europe, they claim that supporters of right-wing, anti-establishment figures such as Marine Le Pen in France[4][5][6] or the Alternative for Germany[7] are "fascists" and "Nazis." Antifa groups have targeted Lega Nord in Italy.[8] Antifa has targeted, intimidated, and harassed conservative figures simply because of political disagreements.[9]
They dress in all black, wear black masks to hide their identities and attempt to disrupt rallies that are held in support of Trump. They use pepper spray on unsuspecting people, throw rocks, bricks, bottles, cement-filled soda cans, balloons filled with their own waste, punches, M-80s, march with flags and clubs, and commit vandalism and other criminal acts. They are militant, far-Left extremists that are a product of far-Left ideology, education, and funding.
The Antifa does not support the First Amendment and the freedom of speech, as seen in their illegal shutting down of scheduled conservative speakers on college campuses.[10] Its members have chanted support for the destruction of the United States, along with all national borders.[11]
Some witches and practicers of the occult who support left-wing policies have described themselves as "Antifa witches."[12]
Support from "mainstream" liberalsMany in the leftist mainstream media applaud the Antifa's stance as they align with their #Resist agenda,[13][14] and they have not taken a strong and clear stance against Antifa violence.[15] Facebook permits them to have a page to rally support. Political figures in the U.S. Democrat Party and liberal European parties refuse to condemn their actions. There has been no condemnation of this group or its actions from California Governor Jerry Brown. Berkeley, California mayor Jesse Arreguín (who has ties to far-Left anarchist group By Any Means Necessary[16]) has illegally ordered the city's police department to stand down while Antifa violence unfolds, which has caused a rift between the Berkeley Police and Arreguín.[16] Likewise, Michael Signer, the Democrat mayor of Charlottesville, Virginia, illegally ordered a stand-down for the city's police department to allow Antifa to engage in a violent riot with neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups in what is widely suspected to be a Democrat-staged false flag operation.[17][18] While Antifa tries to proclaim they fight against who they claim are "fascists" (erroneously lumping in the Alt-right and conservatives with legitimate fascists like Nazis and white supremacists), Antifa is, in fact, fascist and Nazi-like themselves in every aspect, being the very thing they claim to fight against. A quote, falsely attributed to Winston Churchill, is still correct in summing up this group of thugs, "When fascism comes to America it will be called anti-fascism."[19]
|Antifascist Action focuses on promotional, informative and practical ways of struggle against all authoritarian ideologies and groups promoting any kind of oppression, particularly against Neo-Nazism and right wing radicals.
Numerous liberals, such as Dartmouth professor Mark Bray, have described Antifa's violence as a "positive" thing, casting it as necessary for a greater good – "combating the far right."[20] House Democrat minority leader Nancy Pelosi first condemned Antifa violence only in August 2017.[21][22] Tim Kaine refused to condemn Antifa.[23]
Mainstream media outlets promoted the false claim that violent left-wingers user their violence against conservatives to bring about "peace."[24] Chuck Todd of NBC was criticized by conservatives for asking "softball" questions when interviewing Antifa sympathizers.[25]
On August 28, 2017, Tucker Carlson pointed out on his show that the Antifa is effectively the militant wing of the Democrat Party.[26]
Wikipedia editors have downplayed Antifa's violence and far-left-wing ideology and portrayed it favorably.[27] The Southern Poverty Law Center, which has labeled numerous mainstream conservative organizations as "hate groups" but is itself a hate group in its own right, has refused to label Antifa a hate group.[28]
In October 2018, Portland mayor Ted Wheeler mayor defended his own decision to let Antifa block traffic and harass drivers and to block the police from intervening.[29][30] In April 2019, Chris Cuomo of CNN defended Antifa as a "good cause."[31]
"Antifa" violence and criminal behavior
- See also: Left-wing violence in the Trump era
The Antifa claims that its violence is necessary and legitimate to use in order to stop those who they believe to be "fascists" and "authoritarians."[32]Like the Occupy Wall Street movement prior, Antifa is establishing branches in cities across the country. By their actions,[33] people are demanding the group be labeled a domestic terrorist organization by the government. social media. Antifa radicals tried to garner sympathy by establishing a GoFundMe.com account. With politicians and the liberal media largely ignoring the violence, it is only a matter of time before somebody dies as a result of all the hate, anger and criminal behavior being displayed by Antifa.[34]
Antifa groups have used violence in its anti-Trump demonstrations to the point where police in riot gear were needed, and protestors have used gas canisters and rocks.[35]
In June 2017, an Antifa website encouraged physical violence against Trump supporters, capitalists and others who hold conservative-leaning views.[36]
Since 2016, the FBI and DHS warned local governments of Antifa violence and its increasing occurrences, and they labeled its activities as "domestic terrorist violence."[37] The New Jersey State Office of Homeland Security has designated Antifa a domestic terrorist group.[38]
In a major August 2018 protest in Washington, D.C., Antifa members threatened and physically attacked the police,[39][40][41] as well as uninvolved bystanders including mainstream media journalists.[41][42][43] They also carried signs promoting violence against people whose ideas they oppose,[40][42] and many of them called for murdering the president.[40]
Some Antifa members, such as California philosophy professor Eric Clanton, received extremely lenient sentences compared to the violent crimes they committed as Antifa activists.[44]
In January 2019, Antifa leader José Alcoff, who had previously advocated for murder, was arrested for being connected to an attack on two U.S. Marines a few months earlier.[45] Alcoff had been working with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and congressional Democrats to create new regulations on small businesses.[46]
In 2019, Antifa activists were caught working with Mexican drug cartels and migrant caravan activists to create an armed conflict on the U.S.–Mexico border.[47] In May 2019, several Antifa protesters in Paris stormed a hospital, threatening its patients.[48]

The modern re-incarnation of Antifa was founded in 1988 in Minneapolis, Minnesota as well as Toronto, Canada to counteract white supremacist groups and Neo-Nazi groups.
The organization can be traced to the "united front" of the Soviet Union's Communist International (Comintern) during the Third World Congress in Moscow in June and July 1921. The idea of the united front strategy was to bring together left-wing organizations in order to incite communist revolution. The Soviets believed that following Russia's revolution in 1917, communism would next spread to Germany, since Germany had the second-largest communist party, the KPD (Communist Party of Germany).
It was at the Fourth World Congress of the Comintern in 1922 that the plan took shape. Moscow formed the slogan "To the Masses" for its united front strategy and sought to join together the various communist and workers' parties of Germany under a single ideological banner that it controlled. Both the communist and fascist systems were based on collectivism and state-planned economies. Both also proposed systems wherein the individual was heavily controlled by a powerful state, and both were responsible for large-scale atrocities and genocide. In addition, the term "anti-fascism" was originally used by Stalin and the USSR prior to and during World War II as part of propaganda purposes to make the USSR seem mainstream by comparison to Nazi Germany.[49][50]
The 2016 annual report by Germany's domestic intelligence service, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), notes the same point: From the viewpoint of the "left-wing extremist," the label of "fascism" as pushed by Antifa often does not refer to actual fascism, but is merely a label assigned to "capitalism."
While leftist extremists claim to be fighting "fascism" while launching their attacks on other groups, the report states the term "fascism" has a double meaning under the extreme-left ideology, indicating the "fight against the capitalist system." Antifascism is a strategy, not an ideology. They argue that the capitalist state produces fascism, or at least tolerates it. Therefore, anti-fascism is directed not only against actual or supposed right-wing extremists but also always against the state and its representatives, in particular members of the security authorities.[51]
An Antifa group, "Refuse Fascism," organized what it announced would be a series of major rallies in U.S. cities that would last until President Trump and Vice President Pence stepped down.[52] Rather than millions of people, as it intended, the protests saw very low turnout.[53][54]

"Anti-Fascism" did not offer a coherent political ideology. In terms of ideas, it was an empty vessel, a mere political dance....It gave the false impression that principled democrats believing in the rule of law and freedom of speech could rub along fine with the dictators of the proletariat, or that democratic socialists had only minor differences with Communism. What is more, it opened up a wonderful arena for the activities of disciplined activists, whose training in the Leninist techniques of splitting and dividing adversaries would run rings round wooly intellectuals....If you were a French trade unionist, tired of the wrangles of the Left, or a British Empire loyalist baffled by the complexities of modern politics or a Christian peace worker hoping to avoid another war, anti-Fascism was for you! Only in the background was the unspoken dialect that, if Fascism was to be Bad, the Good had to lie with the originator of anti-Fascism -- Joseph Stalin's USSR.

It seems SOA adopters are more likely to find success in their second or third year-and after a bit of tailoring SOA to meet your busines needs, according to JP Morgenthal, the Tech Evangelist blogger and a Sr. Principal Architect with QinetiQ North America's Mission Systems Group.
This "tailoring" business in particular has Morgenthal rethinking what constitutes SOA. Maybe, he wonders in a recent post, SOA's not so much about architecture as about strategy.
I know what you're thinking - "Oh no, not again with the what-is-SOA debate." Well, hold your horses-that's not really the takeaway here.
The bigger point, at least as I see it, is that word, "tailoring." It goes a long way toward explaining why it's been so hard to pin down a definition of SOA-but more importantly, it goes a long way toward explaining how you should approach SOA if you want to find success. Morgenthal admits this was hard for him to see, at first, because he was hung up on the concept of SOA as an architecture (or architectural style, some would argue).
It's a mindset he had to rethink after moderating a panel at the 1105 Group's Enterprise Architecture Conference:
"... in opening myself up to the idea that SOA may be more of a concept than an actual architectural approach, it became clear to me that that each organization may also organically formulate their own approximation of SOA that meets the needs of their business as functional components, or services. Moreover, each business' approach toward SOA will most likely look completely different than any other business' approach, their pain points will be different and their approach toward measuring success will be different."
Where does that leave us with SOA and how can you use this information? According to Morgenthal, this takes the focus off supporting infrastructure-which is what all too many companies do, trying to figure out which tools or solutions they should buy-and leaves us with a set of templates or patterns, which each business must tailor:
"... if we know this information going into an SOA effort, we can better manage expectations of the business with regard to Return-on-Investment (ROI) and time frames. Most of all, if the tailoring effort is a known part of the process, then unrealistic expectations can be removed from the practitioners, allowing them to focus on reaching successful ends."
As I see it, it's a license to worry less about whether you're doing SOA properly and more about tinkering with the concept to find out how it can work for your business. But it's also nice to know while you're in the thick of it that you're looking at a two- to three-year time span for success.

Loraine, Nice post with interesting observations. SOA's strategic nature and business buy-in aspects are coming to the fore frequently and rightly so. Timeframe of two to three years is comforting, but this is a sample from a group that realized the benefit of SOA or felt as such. Data from a larger group may offer surprising numbers. ROI is likely to depend on the nature of an SOA initiative, frequency of business changes and the magnitude of such changes. I incidentally highlighted this in a recent article ( http://www.infoq.com/articles/soa-service-identification ) I feel timeframe of 2 - 3 years is good enough to undergo 6-8 iterations of reasonably major business changes coupled with supporting IT changes. This may very well be the "tailoring" period to set realistic expectations. The challenge from now on would be to pass on details about unrealistic expectations and cut short this "tailoring" period.Reply

Over the weekend I made the point that Obama's San Francisco remarks were framed in the terms advanced by Thomas Frank in What's the Matter With Kansas?. Mickey Kaus takes up the subject here. He also captures Obama's poorly concealed arrogance:
He presents himself as near ominscient, the Archimedian point from which everyone else's beliefs and behavior can be assessed and explained, and to which almost everyone's beliefs will revert after the revolution. … sorry, I mean after President Obama has restored hope!…
Obama was Frank's neighbor in Chicago when Frank was editing The Baffler. We do not know how close Obama and Frank were back then, though Obama was Frank's state senator. Someone who does these things for a living needs to take a serious look at Obama's Chicago, where leftist radicals, crooks, and race hustlers appear to loom large along with the worldview of Thomas Frank.
UPDATE: Noemie Emery adds: "[T]he matter with Democrats, and with Obama, seems to be Thomas Frank."

MapQuest Transfers Local Listings Management To Yext
Last October, MapQuest started outsourcing local business listings management to Yext. The "claim your MapQuest listings" page is hosted by Yext (I believe) with a co-branded look and feel.
Yesterday, MapQuest notified business users that its local business center and basic local listings product would be formally shutting down. Here's the text of the email that went out:
We wanted to inform you that the basic version of the MapQuest Local Business Center (LBC) is shutting down. As of January 31, 2014, you will no longer be able to access your listings account within the basic version of the LBC. We have, however, continued our partnership with Yext, which gives us the opportunity to offer you an enhanced business listing with plenty of tools and features to help your business succeed.
With a Yext Premium Powerlistings account, you will be able to manage and edit your own business listing, monitor customer reviews, add enhanced content to your listing such as menus, product and service lists, calendars, promotions, hours of operation, staff bios, photos, and more, and also sync your Yext content to your business' Facebook page. Package options vary. Upgrade to a premium package and make sure that your potential customers can continue to find you on the web.
While MapQuest claims your listings information page doesn't explicitly say this, Yext operates a local listings network of the major local search and mapping sites and apps, with the major exception of Google. It appears that the free local listing option is no longer available on MapQuest and that users will be required to pay the Yext fee, which is roughly $40 per business location per month, for syndication across Yext's distribution network.
Yext greatly simplifies the process of syncing and enhancing data across sites. However some local SEOs are critical of the service.
Regarding MapQuest, it appears that AOL doesn't know what to do with the site. It has long neglected MapQuest and tried to sell it several times without success. Once the digital mapping leader — it invented the category essentially — MapQuest has maintained a presence in the market almost solely on the strength of its brand.
In a related announcement, MapQuest has entered into a deal with pay-per-call platform Marchex. The latter will distribute advertisers through MapQuest and related properties.
Postscript: The Yext pricing was previously, incorrectly reported as $500 per month. The pricing is roughly $480 per year per business location.
We're listening.

There's a possibility it wouldn't be atrociously bad. Seems like it would only add the 3 instructions or whatever overhead to most refcount operations. How much this would reduce performance depends on what percentage of time is currently used by refcounting. Are there any figures for that? A quick way of getting an idea of how much effect it would have might be to change Py_INCREF and Py_DECREF to go through the relevant motions, and see what timings are produced for single-threaded code. It wouldn't be a working implementation, but you'd find out pretty quickly if it were going to be a disaster. -- Greg Ewing, Computer Science Dept, +--------------------------------------+ University of Canterbury, | Carpe post meridiem! | Christchurch, New Zealand | (I'm not a morning person.) | greg.ewing at canterbury.ac.nz +--------------------------------------+

I love entrepreneurship. I really do.
I wish I had the guts for it, the courage to put my balls on the line. But I'm just a big puppy dog who dreams of leaving the front yard but actually loves the security of the picket fence blocking me off from the unknowns of the busy street.
But it's nice to look through the pickets and dream sometimes.
I take my hat off to those who jump the fence and go exploring. One such brave dog is my dear friend's brother Henry. He's an adventurer, a go-getter, a mover and shaker. He had an idea and he ran with it.
He followed his heart to Guatemala and saw potential in a business venture: maximon leather.
We are a luxury leather brand that makes bags for big weekends. We're inspired by Maximón, a loose living bad boy from Guatemalan folklore and Latin America's flair for a good night out.
Check out his kickstarter video below. I've made a pledge and would totally invest in a big weekend bag for that boy in my life ... but like Bubes says ... "I just haven't met you yet"

During the last couple of weeks, studying for my hospital's mandatory EKG rhythm interpretation course made me very glad I bought this book, and worked my way through it. In combination with the course, taught by a cath lab RN/heart addict ("wallpaper with a Torsades border would be so pretty!"), which actually uses this book, I'm stumbling toward a better understanding of WHY those wiggly lines get weird when the heart's electrical system gets FUNKY. So, aspiring nursing students, tele techs and panicking new grads, get shopping!

A well-known sociologist explores how the underground economy is dissolving racial and class barriers in an increasingly globalized New York City.
Although Venkatesh (Sociology/Columbia Univ.; Gang Leader for a Day: A Rogue Sociologist Takes to the Streets, 2008, etc.) established his career via his penetrating studies of the Chicago underclass, he declares that in New York, a "new world of permeable borders beckoned [where] the criminal underworld interacts with the mainstream world to make the world of the future." He notes that although the book grew out of research conducted since 1997 on sex workers and the underground economy in these cities, it is not strictly academic but also contains elements of memoir. After establishing his essential thesis about New York's new permeability among ambitious residents willing to "float," he delves into more specific social narratives, beginning with the lives of Indian video store workers and aging Hispanic prostitutes against the backdrop of Manhattan's Giuliani-era gentrification. Venkatesh then moves on to a nuanced portrait of a Harlem cocaine dealer trying to decode the lucrative downtown (white) market (a section reminiscent of his previous book) and to the noirish lives of several women attempting to be successful as managers of upscale prostitutes. These women discussed the "large numbers of women [arriving] in New York with a surprising new openness to the idea of using sex work to supplement poorly paying straight jobs." The author displays a piercing sense of empathy and ability to translate dry sociological principles into an understanding of the difficult lives of the urban poor. Less effective are his reveries on his own changing personal circumstances, which include divorce and the struggles of academic careerism, and his attempts to observe the feckless social and career rituals of Manhattan's youthful upper class. Although the overall narrative is unwieldy and at times indulgent, Venkatesh has established a singular voice in urban sociology, and his immersive research and insights remain penetrating and unique.
Will appeal to readers fascinated by the intersections of class, prosperity and crime.

Teen/Girls; Fiction: Multicultural
When you are fourteen-years-old, how do you deal with an identity that is confusing and loss that is nearly inconceivable? If you are Tess in Nancy Bo Flood's middle grade novel, Soldier Sister, Fly Home, you talk to your Navajo grandparents, because your mom works at the hospital; and your dad is in Phoenix because he got a promotion at his computer company; and the white kids at the school in Flagstaff bully you because they see you as Indian, not Navajo or white; and your big sister, Gaby, is serving in the U.S. Army in Iraq.
The day before Gaby deploys, she asks her little sister, Tess, to take care of her stallion, Blue. Tess is frankly scared. "Show him who's boss," Gaby advises, and her grandmother agrees. Tess practices being in charge until it comes naturally. She and Blue become bonded.
The Navajo world, specifically sheep camp, teaches her to embrace the earth and to appreciate the give and take of nature. Her grandmother encourages her to take the best of both cultures and make them her own.
Author Nancy Bo Flood tells this story in vivid, expressive language. Accessible to middle-grade students of both cultures, the story grabbed and held me, and I am old enough to collect social security. Tess's voice and earnestness are authentic and readers will empathize with her fears and support her growing confidence. I loved the grandparents who guided Tess and shared their culture so lovingly, and the way Tess bonded with Blue. Her story took me back to when I was in middle school (AKA junior high), even though I am not Navajo, never owned a horse, never had a sister in the army, and didn't know my grandparents.
It isn't always easy to show deep feelings in simple sentences. Nancy Bo Flood has done a marvelous job. Girls and their grandparents will love this book.
Soldier Sister, Fly Home is dedicated to the memory of Lori Piestewa, who was a member of the Hopi tribe and also Mexican American. Lori was the first Native American woman in US history to die in combat on foreign soil. She died on March 23, 2003 and was awarded the Prisoner of War Medal and the Purple Heart.
Nancy Bo Flood lived and taught on the Navajo Nation for fifteen years. She was a research psychologist and studied brain development at the University of Minnesota and the University of London before she began writing books for children. Her books include Warriors in the Crossfire and Cowboy Up! Ride the Navajo Rodeo.

Cow Creek Ranch, formerly Martin's Cow Creek Ranch, was originally part of a much larger cattle ranch in the area owned by the Dockweiler family of Tesuque, New Mexico. The ranch was split up in the early 1900s, and Louise Dockweiler Martin and her husband, Bob Martin, settled in Cow Creek valley. All buildings on the property were built by Bob Martin with pine and aspen milled onsite. The old mill site was located where the fish fry takes place today. Parts of the old equipment and wagons can still be seen in that area.
Prior to the Dockweilers' and Martin's ownership and involvement with the ranch, it was home to an old boarding school for "second sons," young English boys who were sent over to America to learn ranching. Accounts of this school can be read in history books. The school existed in the late 1800s at the top of the 120, where a few remains of one of the outbuildings can still be seen. The school was completely self-sufficient with natural springs flowing right beside the cabin, large gardens, livestock, and even a grass tennis court.
The Martins raised four girls- Dodo, Tootie, Babe, and Peggy on the property. The Ranch was historically a cattle and horse operation. The Martins had a substantial garden on the ranch which consisted in large part of root vegetables and lettuce. The garden was located across the stream from Lake #2. They also raised milking cows and pigs, which they kept in the milk pen up the valley. Remains of the old milk pen can still be seen at the site of the sporting clays course.
The original Martin home, built in the early 1920s, consisted of what is now the dining room, card room, and office. A photograph of the original house can be found hanging above the chest of drawers in the lodge. As the family grew, the Martins added on the living room area and the upstairs section of the main lodge. The kitchen was originally a portico, and the pantry was an earthen-floored root cellar. Drawn in by the charm of Martin's Cow Creek Ranch, friends of the family began to visit and extend their stays to longer and longer periods of time. From the late 1920s to the early 1930s, the Martins began to add rooms in order to accommodate their guests. The first room to be added was room 1. Then, a bit later, rooms 2 through 6 were added. The last addition was the north wing, consisting of rooms 7 through 10. Electricity was produced by wind power from the old windmill (no longer standing) and a Delco generator until the mid-1970s. The small stone building on the front lawn was the old generator house. As the story goes, the girls would tell everyone "lights out" before turning the generator off for the evening.
On the advice of some of their friends from Red River, the Martins began charging people to come and stay in the mid-1930s, and their ranch became one of the first operating dude ranches in the area. Clients would pay to experience ranch life in its true form. Guests would take part in activities such as cattle drives, rodeos, cattle branding, harvesting hay, and big square dances. While some work with the cattle and horses would be expected of them, they would also enjoy what has historically been some of the best fishing in Northern New Mexico. They would mingle with guests from the other dude ranches in the area, such as Mountain View Ranch and Balsley Ranch (now the Bar X Bar Ranch). Historically the ranches would gather for rodeos at Martin's Ranch and for big square dances at Balsley Ranch and Mountain View Ranch. Quite often the guests would ride on horseback between the ranches. Many of the trails in use today were the original trails used by the Martin girls and their guests. Many descendents of these original guests of Martin's Ranch still come to visit and share their summer vacations with us at Cow Creek.
Frequently, guests would spend the whole day Friday fishing, saving up their catches for the evening's fish fry, which would take place in the old Aspen grove at the top of the 120. As the years went on, the fish fry was moved closer to the lodge, to the site of the "Red Rooster," located across from today's fish fry, on the banks of Soldier's Creek. Based
on accounts from former guests, it was customary for the Martins to roast one of their pigs in a pit at this site several times during the summer. It would roast all day and then be enjoyed by the guests that evening.
The lives of the Martin girls were filled with plenty of hard work, while experiencing the joy of sharing their way of life with the guests. They each had their own roles at the ranch. Tootie used to make daily trips to town in her station wagon to get supplies. She and Dodo were in charge of the office and business functions. Today's current office was always referred to as Tootie's office, where she kept a day bed because of the long hours she would work. She also acted as a deputy Game Warden for the area. Babe was responsible for all of the ranch operations and guest services. You would often find her leading guests on trail rides and supervising other activities with the help of her husband, Frank Emerson. Peggy Martin, the youngest of the girls, had very little involvement with the ranch after her marriage to Henry Gallegos, one of the first game wardens in the area, because they spent the majority of their time patrolling on horseback and living in a small cabin near Grass Mountain.
The Ranch was run as a fully operational dude ranch by the Martin girls up until the mid-1980s, at which point it was closed since three of the four sisters had passed away. For the next fifteen years, Peggy allowed friends and long time trusted clients to continue visiting the ranch with their families on a self-service basis. In the year 2001, the ranch was purchased by the Mead family of Dallas, Texas, who were long-time clients of the ranch.
Sky Mead, of the Dallas Times Herald, began visiting Mountain View Ranch, located over the ridge from Martin's and up the Pecos Canyon, in the mid 1920s. In the 1940s, his son, Bob Mead, Sr. ventured to Martin's Cow Creek Ranch, and began bringing his son, Bob Mead, Jr., at the age of five. This was the beginning of a longstanding family tradition of a two week summer vacation spent on the banks of Cow Creek. In 2001, Lanier Hartnagle, the daughter of Bob and Judy Mead, moved to New Mexico, renovated the property and reopened the ranch to guests. She and her husband Michael Hartnagle manage the ranch together to this day.
Shortly before the Mead family purchased the ranch, the Viveash Fire, roared through the Cow Creek Valley, taking with it 29,000 acres, twenty thousand of which burned on the first day. Three cabins on the property and many livestock and wildlife were lost to the fire, and it had a devastating immediate impact on the fish habitat. With the assistance of aquatic rehab specialists from Boulder, Colorado, and under the direction of the Corps of Engineers, Bob and Judy Mead and their daughter facilitated the recovery process of the land and the stream over the course of the next one and one-half years. Although the fire had a devastating effect on the land and the fishery, the positive impact of the fire will be long lasting. Since the fire, the entire ecosystem, from vegetation and bug life to the larger wildlife species in the area, has exploded. Cow Creek now has one of the healthiest fisheries in Northern New Mexico, due to the flourishing bug life. The deer and elk herds are much larger than before, due to the fertile grasslands and scrub oak, which had previously been overcome by the evergreens. Although fire can be a hard adjustment for the eye, it is a vital part of the life of an ecosystem. The once overpopulated and diseased evergreen forests have now given way to healthier hillsides filled with aspens and scrub oak. As you look through the valley, you will notice that many of the trees and most of the buildings were spared from the fire. This can be attributed in large part to well-grazed land, proper thinning, and metal roofs.
Extensive renovations were done to the buildings, and great measures were taken not only to restore, but also to preserve the original elements of the structures on the ranch. Phone lines were finally brought to the ranch in 2004. The Mead family has made it a priority to continue many of the longstanding traditions of Martin's Cow Creek Ranch, such as the Friday Fish Fry, horseshoes, cowboy music around the campfire, and ringing the old ranch bell to call in the fishermen for meals and to ring out the guests on their departure. "When guests and their families returned to the ranch after it had been closed for 16 years, we wanted them to feel as though they were coming home" – Lanier Mead Hartnagle.
For generations, Martin's Cow Creek Ranch has served as a relaxing escape for families and friends. Annual summer vacations have become a tradition. We hope that you, too, will come to think of this ranch as your home away from home and a place of warm and happy memories.
Cow Creek Ranch, where the New Mexico fly fishing experience of a lifetime becomes a yearly tradition.

VanCon 2015 and carrying your words like a torch
At one of my colleges (long story), a professor told me that I didn't say much but that when I did speak, people listened. I once forgot to do the reading and faked my way through a roundtable discussion on medieval Japanese court poetry, so I hope he was talking about another time. But I've always hoped he was right, in spite of assuming 99% of what I say is nonsense and no one is paying attention.
Most people already know that aside from having a fabulous VanCon, I went Supernatural set stalking on Monday. Because apparently we couldn't think of anything better to do in the pouring rain than take a taxi to the far suburbs and walk for half an hour on residential roads with no clue where we were going. To our credit, we laughed the entire way. We stayed for several hours after everyone else left and there was little to see – but just before wrap, Jared waved us across the street onto the set and showed us around the Impala. He had us sit in the actual Impala. And Jensen heard him rev the engine and came out to check on his "Baby", and I briefly thought Dean Winchester had manifested into reality to kick my ass. Look, I left "speechless" weeks ago. You all know, details or not, that we were incredibly fortunate and fans could not dare to dream of anything better. Last VanCon was my first Supernatural convention; I knew no one. To have come to that place in a year was, and continues to be, simply staggering.
But I'm not sure that was the most unbelievable thing that happened while I was in Vancouver.

Earlier this week I heard a report on NPR about a new round of general strikes and protests planned in Greece. Two groups that had participated in previous strikes had decided not to participate this time, said the reporter. One of those groups: Journalists. According to the report, the Greek journalists decided that even though striking "showed brotherly solidarity", it might be counterproductive because they recognized that one of the most important things about a protest is publicity.Ummm... I'm glad they figured that out.

Earlier this year, when the price of BTC fell by more than 60% from the former record high, also a less noted number of bitcoin collapsed: the bitcoin trading volume.
There are many explanations for the decline in the BTC trade – from mining to blockchain competition or simply that the year of release of the blockchain is so long ago. But it is unclear why the level has not recovered, as the price of BTC has risen by 50% since February 5.
The average number of BTC trades registered daily has roughly halved from the December highs and reached its lowest level in two years last month, even as bitcoin became a household name and also rose above $10,000 again after the year of this turbulence thanks to more demanding mining.
Withdrawal methods Bitcoin
Statistics: What does trading volume per day mean?
The trading volume statistics show the number of shares or contracts that indicate the total activity of a security or market for a certain period of time. It is an important technical indicator with which an investor confirms a trend or a trend reversal and can be monitored by tracking. Volume gives investors an idea of the price development of a security and whether they should buy or sell the security.
Blockchain Tracking: Why is the BTC volume important for investors?
The trading volume can help a BTC investor to recognize the momentum of a stock and confirm a trend. If the volume increases, prices will generally move in the same direction depending on the payment methods used. This means that if a security remains higher in an upward trend, the volume of the security should also increase and vice versa.
This is where the analysis of the trading volume comes into its own. The investor sees a steady increase in volume in the past month. He also recognizes that it is the company with the highest volume and the share is still on an upward trend. This signals to the investor that the company is gaining momentum and that the trend should continue to rise.

Trading volume as a sales indicator
Trading volume can also indicate when an investor should make a profit and sell a security due to low activity. If there is no correlation between the trading volume and the price of a security, this signals a weakness of the current trend and a possible reversal.
What the BTC volume tells you:
Whenever you refer to the "price" of Bitcoin, you refer to the price of the last trade on a particular exchange. This important distinction is made because statistics show that there is not a single global price that everyone follows. Sometimes the price of Bitcoin in other countries may differ from the price of BTC in Germany, as the most important stock exchange in these countries includes different transactions.
Besides the price you sometimes also see the terms high and low. These terms refer to the highest and lowest prices of the last 24 hours – the trading volume per day. Another important term is volume. It represents the total number of coins traded in the specified period. Significant trends are generally accompanied by large trading volumes, while weak trends are accompanied by low volumes.

Corsica, Part I
So finally I get to share the first part of my vacation photos with you all! Last week I went to Corsica with an amazing group of girls to relax, read a book and just get the chance to feel sand underneath my feet again. Ah, I already want to get on a plane and fly back!
We went to Bastia, a city located on the north-east side of the island (which is absolutely huge). Bastia was a mix of everything I love. It was almost like Nice, Terracina and Desenzano (or any other adorable Italian city) had got together and created their own little love child. You had the narrow streets, the colourful buildings, beautiful beaches, that calmness, the delicious Italian food and the kindness of all the locals. If anybody out there is looking for a great vacation destination without any "musts" or "shoulds" this is a place to put on top of your list. I would love to go back, not only to Bastia but to other parts of the island as well. Renting a car and being able to see more of the island is what I'm going to do next time I come here (and yes, there's most definitely going to be a next time).
I was so happy to lay on a beach, play around in the ocean, eat fresh strawberries, wander the beautiful streets of Bastia, eat enormous amounts of ice cream and get the chance to hang out with some awesome people. I couldn't have asked for anything more!

Pet Christmas Gifts
Need last-minute gifts for pets or pet-lovers? Let us help with our list of top pet gifts for 2013!
It's that time of year again! The malls and stores are filled to the brim with shoppers preparing for this year's holiday festivities. While you are stocking up for your human companions, don't forget about your furry family members! Listed below are the top pet gifts this holiday season.
- Gourmet pet treats: You can find these at a local pet bakery or you can find recipes to make at home! For dogs, another great option is to get milk bones or something yummy for them to chew on.
- New bedding: Out with the old and in with the new! This is a good time of year to start fresh and purchase new blankets or bedding for your pet. To ease the transition, consider holding on to at least one old blanket for a little while longer. Animals like familiar smells.
- Fun toys: I know that my animals always enjoy new toys on Christmas morning. You can throw away that old raggedy toy, and your furry friend can enjoy something new to play with. For those who have a cat, this may be a good time to get a new scratching post.
- Collar and/or leash: This gift idea is perfect for those who have small animals who will need bigger collars in the future. For example, my family just adopted a kitten that will outgrow her current collar around the holidays.
Santa doesn't just bring presents to humans, he includes the furry family members as well! Have fun helping him out!

Ama Dablam, state of the Dablam. The huge high serac known as "the Dablam" has remained active since November 2006, when a huge mass of ice falling from this large serac barrier hit Camp 3 and swept six climbers off the mountain. During the night of November 17, 2008 another part of the Dablam fell off, and the next day an additional huge section dropped, setting off an avalanche that cleaned a section of the normal route, leaving hard blue ice. These falls almost halved the size of the Dablam. In late November the route above Camp 3 was plagued by many more crevasses than in previous years, when it had been covered by snow. The climbing is now more difficult and considerably more time consuming. A Canadian leader of a commercial expedition predicts that the whole Dablam is going to come down. He has been on Ama Dablam twice but now says, "I really don't want to go back again."

Deal in an Autism Case Fuels Debate on Vaccine - New York TimesSince the formal definition of autism doesn't exclude brain injury from other causes Hannah does technically have autism, but she'd be excluded from any research study of the disorder. She apparently has a well defined and extremely rare disorder of her mitochondria...
...Hannah's father, Dr. Jon Poling, was a neurology resident at Johns Hopkins Hospital at the time, and she underwent an intensive series of tests that found a disorder in her mitochondria, the energy factories of the cells...
...symptoms of mitochondrial myopathies include muscle weakness or exercise intolerance, heart failure or rhythm disturbances, dementia, movement disorders, stroke-like episodes, deafness, blindness, droopy eyelids, limited mobility of the eyes, vomiting, and seizures. The prognosis for these disorders ranges in severity from progressive weakness to death. Most mitochondrial myopathies occur before the age of 20, and often begin with exercise intolerance or muscle weakness. During physical activity, muscles may become easily fatigued or weak. Muscle cramping is rare, but may occur. Nausea, headache, and breathlessness are also associated with these disorders....I wonder what the legal basis of the claim was? Are vaccines known to precipitate a crisis in mitochondrial disorders? They are thought to be exceedingly rare, so I suppose that's possible.
I hope this gets covered in more detail in a major medical or science journal. Based on what I've read so far I think this has no relevance to 99.99% of the children and adults who have some form of idiopathic autism. I think this does emphasize that the definition of autism is impossibly broad.
Update 3/18/2008: Dr Rahul Parikh, writing for Salon, is the only writer on this topic I've read who bothered to include the Judge's statement:
the court "concluded that the facts of this case meet the statutory criteria for demonstrating that the vaccinations CHILD received on July 19, 2000, significantly aggravated an underlying mitochondrial disorder, which predisposed her to deficits in cellular energy metabolism, and manifested as a regressive encephalopathy with features of autism spectrum disorder. Therefore, respondent recommends that compensation be awarded to petitioners."The vaccine court is predisposed to pay if there's any chance of injury. So they paid out, even though the expected course of some mitochondrial disorders includes, tragically, regressive encephalopathy.
The confusion in this case arises because the technical (DSM IV) definition of autism is exceedingly broad, and says nothing about the underlying cause. This story is yet another indicator that we need better ways to describe disorders of cognition.

One day I just happened to be at the right place at the right time. I walked into the Sugar Mountain offices (the creators of Beecher's, Pasta and Co. and Bennett's Pure Food Bistro) while they were tasting some recipes.
Pork Quoi? You ask. What were they tasting? I was sworn to secrecy.
They were tasting pulled pork. There were ultra spicy pork sauces, sweet sauces and all this for their new venture a huge truck that is shaped like, guess what? Yes, a huge pig!
This new restaurant will be in the pork truck you see. Come up to the window and order your pulled pork sandwich to the maximus or minimus. Maximus is the spicy one or Minimus for the sweet one. They will also have homemade veggie chips.
Are you a vegetarian? No worries, they have a grilled vegetable option too.
The sandwich will cost 6 dollars and you can catch the truck this June.
