The full schedule isn't yet posted, but I'll be on a panel discussion about naming systems on Jun 8, as well as giving a lightning talk and a workshop on Jun 9.
If you're going to be there and I've talked to you on the forum before, feel free to reply to this thread so that I know you'll be there -- it'd be cool to meet some community members.

A manhunt has been launched to find a pervert who sexually harassed a young girl at a train station.
An Asian man, believed to have gold teeth, started asking the victim inappropriate questions before touching himself on the platform at Swinton Interchange.
British Transport Police (BTP) have not revealed the girl's age but said the incident left her feeling 'extremely distressed'.
Officers said it was 'vital' they track down their suspect.
PC Richard Ward said: "The young girl was waiting for a train, when a man tried to engage her in conversation, before asking inappropriate questions.
"He then began touching himself inappropriately over his clothing.
"Both the victim and the man boarded a train at Swinton, with the victim sitting away from the man, who left the train at Rotherham."
He added: "The actions of the man left the young girl feeling extremely uncomfortable and distressed.
"She feared for her safety.
"It is vital we find the man responsible."
The suspect is described as Asian, aged in his 30s, around 5ft 8ins tall, of slim build, with several metal, possibly gold teeth.
He was wearing a black coat, black trousers and a black beanie hat and was carrying a black rucksack.
The incident happened on Saturday, January 17, at 6am.
Any witnesses or anyone with information is asked to contact BTP on 0800 40 50 40, or text 61016, quoting reference PSUB/B14 of 20/01/15.
Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Get a little salty with Selland's 'The Josh' pizza
Let's be honest: We adore "The Josh" pizza at Selland's Market-Café in East Sacramento primarily for its ability to deliver salty flavor in a variety of ways. There's creamy salt (feta cheese), meaty salt (pepperoni) and vinegar-y salt (Kalamata olive). But the Josh, named after Selland's family member and company executive Josh Nelson, is more than one-dimensional. We also like this pie's bright, slightly sweet tomato coulis, bracing red onion and chili flakes, cooling fresh basil and crunchy, blistered crust.
$16.25. 5340 H St., Sacramento (also at the El Dorado Hills Selland's), 916-736-3333, www.sellands.com

Sometimes you need to merge several capture files into one. For example, this can be useful if you have captured simultaneously from multiple interfaces at once (e.g. using multiple instances of Wireshark).
There are three ways to merge capture files using Wireshark:
mergecap tool, a command line tool to merge capture files.
This tool provides the most options to merge capture files. See
Section D.8, "mergecap: Merging multiple capture files into one" for details.
This dialog box let you select a file to be merged into the currently loaded file. If your current data has not been saved you will be asked to save it first.
Most controls of this dialog will work the same way as described in the "Open Capture File" dialog box, see Section 5.2.1, "The "Open Capture File" dialog box".
Specific controls of this merge dialog are:
This is the common Windows file open dialog with additional Wireshark extensions.
This is the common Gimp/GNOME file open dialog with additional Wireshark extensions.

Matt Tubbs revealed he turned down more money to join Pompey and vowed: I'm here to get promoted.
And League Two's top scorer believes he can achieve that aim this season after completing his move to Fratton Park.
Tubbs turned down a host of sides, including AFC Wimbledon, Bristol Rovers and Southend, to ink a two-and-a-half year deal with the Blues.
The 30-year-old admitted he could have earned more joining Wimbledon, where he has fired 15 goals on loan from Bournemouth this season, on a permanent deal.
But the prospect of being part of Pompey's rebirth was a greater attraction.
Now the man who came close to arriving in the summer wants to make an instant impact.
Tubbs said: 'I'm here for promotion.
'They (Wimbledon) offered a deal that, as a financial package, was better than this deal.
'But, for me, it's not about money but trying to progress in my career.
'In the two-and-a-half years I'm a Portsmouth player, I really feel we can gain promotion.
'The package Wimbledon come up with, like Neal Ardley said publicly, was an outstanding offer.
'But I've made my decision and I wanted to play my football at Fratton Park.
'We can get to the play-offs and gain promotion.
'This league's unpredictable. You only need to win two or three games on the spin and then you are up there.
'This squad is capable of doing something.'
Accommodating Tubbs into his team will provide an immediate poser for Andy Awford as Pompey go to Newport County tomorrow.
The Blues boss successfully employed a 4-2-3-1 set-up at Luton in a season of a number of formation changes.
Tubbs, who has been given squad number 14, believes he has the flexibility to be used in a number of roles.
He said: 'I'd like to think I can play anywhere.
'At Wimbledon we've played a 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 when I've been wide.
'I'm an out-and-out striker at the end of the day, though.
'But if the manager wants me to do a job elsewhere I'd be happy to do that.
'As a manager you need plan A, B and C. The manager seems to have that here.
'I have played as the lone striker.
'At Crawley we played a 4-3-3 and the two wider men were tucking back, while I played as a lone striker.
'I'm not the biggest guy but I want to work hard and, if I can do that in a one up front, I will. I'd like to think I'm quite versatile.
'I played off the striker against Liverpool this week for AFC Wimbledon, which I wasn't too keen about, chasing those players! It was a lot of hard work!
'But all I want to do is play. Hopefully, Portsmouth and I will be the perfect match.'

British retailer Marks & Spencer has returned to Paris after previously having pulled out of Europe's fashion capital in 2001.
The new flagship store occupies 1,400 square metres in a building at 100 Avenue des Champs-Elysées. Three more shops are due to be opened in the city.
According to the Telegraph, there were street protests and despondency among the expatriate community when M&S closed its Paris store ten years ago after people had acquired a taste for British food and fashion, or simply appreciated being able to acquire a few home comforts while abroad.
Following the closure, the retailer found itself embroiled in a court case as trade unions and French politicians complained of 1,700 job losses. Its former French CEO, Luc Vandevelde, was even fined in 2005.
In 2001, M&S closed its 38 stores across Europe to concentrate on its core British arm after experiencing a sharp fall in sales in the late 1990s. There had been 18 stores across France, including ten in Paris.
A branch of its food outlet, Simply Food, is also due to open in the French capital.
There are currently about 700 M&S stores in the UK. Over the past decade, the retail giant has opened 360 stores in different countries. The company believes there is scope for faster growth in France, China and India.

This is proof that divers are crazy
...because I'm not sure why, actually.
But anyway, with fifteen-foot waves getting ahead of the bilge pump, common sense eventually prevailed and they went back someplace warm and dry.

From back when I did some diving, I seem to remember there being two types: the ones who worried about details(such as "SCUBA doesn't mean I can swim five miles to shore through a storm"), and those who decide they're damn near nine feet tall and bulletproof.
Guess which ones generally make the news?

Take it away, Gordon Lightfoot:
The lake it is said
Never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy..."
He was singing about Lake Superior, not Huron, but under the circumstances I'd say the song still applies...

I've been sea sick twice: the first time was riding an 11m RIB through the outskirts of a hurricane. The other was on a night dive during a fairly mild storm off the coast of Guam.
Anyone diving in 15 ft waves has a death wish.
- 2:07 PM, November 11, 2013
- Will said...
One of the places* I took scuba lessons has a history of divers being lost, just trying to get out of the water, in less than perfect weather conditions. 15 ft waves sounds a bit risky to me.
*Monastery Beach, CA

- Aaron said...
Tam: Thank you kindly for the link.
Yeah, we weren't expecting 15 footers forecast was for 5-7 or so. They developed after we hit the lake and the wind decided to shift from the west to the north and proceeded to kick our um, tanks.
This is why you don't go dive the Great Lakes in November.
Wes S.: You never, ever, sing that song on a boat that's on the Great Lakes, very bad luck. But we did start humming the Gilligan's Island theme song after a bit.
In other news, I can attest that Dramamine rocks, no sea-sickness for me in all that.
A good try to touch the hull 100 years to the very day after she sank, and a good reminder that there was a reason she sank that day in November.
- 3:06 PM, November 11, 2013
- Matt G said...
Great response, Aaron.
Look, friends-- we all will die eventually. Taking on a certain amount of assigned risk just means that you'll have more to look back on. The vast majority of divers aren't nuts; they just utilize special skills and equipment to go further into a hostile environment for longer than the rest of us usually do. As such, they get to experience some nifty sights that most of us don't get to experience first-hand.
Diving looks pretty sane, against my jaunts skydiving and firefighting in an SCBA.

I remember waking up in my nice warm bunk in the off-crew barracks at Sub Base New London to hear the chant of "I wanna be a Navy diver!" I'd huddle over to the window with my blankets around me and see the latest Scuba Diver class, four to a telephone pole,in green coveralls and tennis shoes, out for their 4 am jog, prior to swimming to Long Island and back before breakfast. In February. So I would go back to bed and reflect that compared to Divers, submarine sailors were relatively sane.

Will, Monastary beach looks quite a bit nicer than where I got my first Rescue Diver cert.
That didn't pan out due to FD snafu so it got switched to PADI.
- 1:07 AM, November 12, 2013
- Mikael said...
As a PADI instructor... that looks like a great big nope for me. I've dived in 3 foot waves and getting back on the boat then is a little tricky. 15 means I don't go in the water in the first place, heck anything over 5 and I'll demure. 5-7 feet forecast means "count me out on this one guys".
On the other hand I'm in the process of making plans for diving with whales, sea lions, mantas, dolphines, sharks, squid, etc in Baja Mexico around february, maybe I'll see some great white sharks? Non-cage dives. Oh and nightdive in humboldt squid territory may happen...
- 7:39 AM, November 12, 2013
- Will said...
That's the problem. When the weather is good, I'm told it rates as one of the top three diving locations in the world. However, if it turns just a bit, the conditions get very hazardous, very quickly.
The first time our class showed up there, the instructor would only allow us in the water sans tanks and belts. Said waves were too bad for gear. We went out a short distance and free dived for handfuls of sand, blind. Couldn't see your hand in front of your facemask.
We thought his instructions on how to exit the water were a bit extreme. Not hardly! I think rule one was don't wait 'til you're tired to decide to leave the water, or you may not make it out at all.
The dune/beach slopes into the water at about 45 degrees, there is a hell of an undertow, and a cross-tow, and waves, and it is COLD (probably due to the undersea canyon that ends there). It takes multiple wave cycles to make it high enough up the slope to get out of their reach, even on a good day. The technique is called the Monastery Crawl.
The instructor explained that on a similar day, with conditions just a little worse, he didn't allow any students in the water. Classes on either side of his location that day both lost students trying to exit the water. It's not uncommon to find tanks and belts abandoned in that area, according to the dive shops. This was early 80's.

- Goober said...
So, did you not have the camera out during the bad part of the storm? Or did it just not do justice to the conditions?
Because nothing I see in the pics is 3 to 4 feet, even, much less 15 feet...
I was out in 9 foot seas on the 21st of September, BTW. Not fun.
That being said, my boat's bow is self-bailing, so I can submerge the entire thing up to the top of the windshield without doing any harm. Didn't even get any water in the bilge at all. If you were overpowerng your bilge pump, you must not have a self-bailing bow? Is that right?
The pics sort of looked like it, anyway.
If so, may I suggest that you stop going out in seas any taller than 3 feet or so? You really have no business being out there without a self-bailing bow unless the weather is fair to middlin at worst...
I respect your drive and the risk you took, but I don't think that you had any business being out there without a closed bow boat. This coming from a guy who runs Hell's Canyon in my jet boat every Boxing day for fun (it is usually less than 20 degrees outside, and I'm running class IV whitewater...) O!

I don't know if Aaron's still tracking comments over here; you may want to ask at the linked post?
- 7:19 PM, November 14, 2013
It never ceases to amaze me how so many people will underestimate the Great Lakes. Oh well. I'll chalk it up to Darwin when Huron follows Superior's example and doesn't give up her dead.

Mont Alto, PA -- Beaver splits with PSUAC foe, Mont Alto dropping game one, 3-5, then rebounding to win game two, 5-3.
After playing on the road yesterday, Beaver returned to action again today this time traveling to Mont Alto for a PSUAC double header. In game one, Mont Alto got on the board first, scoring two runs in the second inning. In the top of the fourth Beaver finally found an answer as Matt Capo (Moon Township, PA / Moon) and Shawn Shaner (Adrian, PA / Kittanning) scoring Stephen Antolic (Freedom, PA / Ambridge) and Nick Casasanta (Moon Twp, PA / Moon) who both reached safely with singles of their own earlier in the inning. Despite this hit streak, Beaver was still down one run after their at bat. In the bottom of the inning, Mont Alto answered with two runs of their own to regain their 3-run lead (5-2) after four innings of play. Both teams played stingy defense allowed for just three total hits between both teams until the seventh inning. In the top of the inning, in their final at bat of the game, Beaver's Tyler Thellman (Beaver Falls, PA / Blackhawk) hit a one out single. He was followed by Antolic who doubled to score Thellman. Seeming to have some momentum, Beaver looked to make a late push to challenge Mont Alto, but the next two batters were not able to string together hits as the Lions fell by a final score of 3-5.
On the mound for Beaver was Jake Debo (New Brighton, PA / New Brighton) who threw six innings giving up 10 hits and four runs, striking out two. Antolic led the way offensively going 3-4 with 1 RBI followed by Capo who was 2 for 3 with an RBI.
Game two got off to a quicker start as both team tallied a run in the first inning followed by a 2 run Mont Alto second. With a small deficit, Beaver rallied back in the third. This time it was Casasanta and Derek Bozic (Beaver Falls, PA / Beaver Falls) with the RBI singles to regain the lead, 3-2. Again in the fourth, Beaver attacked the Mont Alto picthing as four of the seven batters out the ball in play. A single by Duncan Miklos (Beaver Falls, PA / Blackhawk) followed by a Thellman double set the stage for Antolic who hit an eventual game winning 2RBI single. With a 5-3 lead after the fourth, Beaver was able to hold Mont Alto to just two hits for the remainder of the game to claim the victory.
On mound was Dan Vanderslice (Sharon, PA / Sharon) who threw a complete game givng up just six hits and three earned runs while striking out four.
The Lions return to action Saturday, April 16th when they host Penn State Schuylkill in more PSUAC double header action.

Highlighting is a makeup technique that has been used in professional makeup artistry for decades. In recent years it has become a huge deal in most of our makeup routines and the beauty industry has come alive with lots of options – whether you like a powder highlight, Creme/liquid formulas, a subtle sheen or full on glitter sparkle.
Being of a combination skin type and having had blemish prone skin in the past, I do have a bit of texture on my skin which can be emphasised if I use the 'wrong' type of highlighter on my skin. I like to stick to glitter/shimmer free formulas and nearly always choose a liquid highlight under my foundation and use a finely milled pressed powder highlight on top of my foundation. I apply in light circular motions using my favourite brush – the Real Techniques Setting Brush (its honestly amazing and only £5.59 at Look Fantastic here).
Some of my favourite highlighters (and ones I use in my pro kit) are:
• BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter – Champagne Pop and Opal
• Hourglass Ambient Metallic Strobe Lighting Powders
• MAC Whisper of Gilt
• MAC Oh Darling
• Anastasia Glow Kits – Gleam, That Glow & Nicole Guerriero
All of the above are fantastic, but I think I may have found the perfect highlighter for every skin tone – super pale to super deep, smooth skin or not – in the new Anastasia Beverly Hills Amrezy Highlighter.
This highlighter was made in collaboration with Amrezy (Amra Olevic) a huge Instagram Influencer, renowned for her glowing highlighted look. The highlighter is a stunning light gold (verging on champagne), which has a super soft texture and is so finely milled, it gives the skin a gorgeous 'kit from within' glow – but without showing up any texture in the skin, like I mentioned above. It's a buildable powder, so it's great if you are after just a little sheen or if you fancy a full on disco glow (like I managed when testing it out below).
The Amrezy highlight is limited edition and costs £29 and is available to buy now with Free Shipping on Anastasia Beverly Hills UK.

Murray Cammick
After the success of the 2016 Flash Cars show, Murray Cammick returns to Black Asterisk gallery with a selection of music images with AK•75-85. Once again Cammick is exhibiting limited edition, silver-gelatin prints derived directly from his negatives. Cammick has not strayed far from the Queen Street of Flash Cars, as the music of the day revolved around inner city venues.
When Cammick co-founded the seminal music magazine RipItUp in 1977, he was not aware of how radical the changes in New Zealand music culture would over the next decade. Foreign punk/new wave acts like The Ramones, Iggy Pop and Blondie visited and locals like The Suburban Reptiles, The Scavengers and Toy Love put visceral energy into the scene. In a time of cultural change, Cammick documented important cultural events such as Bob Marley's 1979 visit to New Zealand and suburban cultural events like The Screaming Meemees playing in a packed suburban hall. Seedy local venues were the place to worship raw music and Zwines and Mainstreet were where alienated youth gathered to enjoy the company of kindred-souls. Cammick's camera captures the tribal audience and sweaty musicians who commanded the scene.
Cammick studied photography at Elam School of Fine Arts 1973 to 1975 with lecturers John B. Turner and Tom Hutchins who encouraged him to take socio-political photos for the student newspaper Craccum. Cammick took the first photos of the Flash Cars series at Elam and learnt a respect for the documentary tradition. Reflecting on his work for the Capture blog, Cammick wrote:
"I tried to document the music and the scene as a 'fly-on-the-wall' documentary photographer. You either contribute to the myths/bullshit of rock n roll or you try and show some of the reality of the grind of touring and promotion…. Shooting un-rock 'n' roll photos became something to aspire to, so I was pleased to get Iggy Pop in his clunky reading glasses laughing … I sneaked a shot but he heard the camera and made it clear, "No photos in my pyjamas.""
AK•75-85 shines a light on a seminal ten years of popular cultural history - while our music scene was growing up in the backyard of Muldoon, the Springbok tour and much other political tumult, New Zealand was becoming firmly established on the international touring map. For stars, big and small, the entertainment and inspiration was often mutual. Many of these visitors still had the hard work ahead of them - so too did our local musicians, but with stars shown as people just like them, their increased confidence could also take on the world.
"For years I've regretted that I did not capture the beauty of Debbie Harry in my 1977 photos, but now I am starting to appreciate that they show a tired young woman who briefly leaves an international flight to do a day's promo…Debbie Harry arrived from the USA at dawn – a day of interviews in Auckland, then on a plane to Melbourne for a TV interview that night. That's life."
Flash Cars
"Take our photo!" -Anonymous
In 1974, while still a student at Elam School of Fine Art, Cammick began photographing people and their V8 cars as they congregated late at night in Auckland's Queen Street. When the theatre patrons went home, the city's main street was their place to park-up or cruise.
Cammick spent many weekend nights from 1974 to 1981 photographing the scene. While he documented the V8s, his mode of transport was a diminutive Morris Minor that he hid in a side street. Cammick was a shy and naïve 20 year old when he started this series and revellers would see his SLR camera and hassle him to – "take our photo!" – unaware that they were giving the quiet photographer the opportunity (and images) he was looking for.
In 1977 Cammick and long-time friend Alastair Dougal established RipItUp music magazine. After he photographed concerts for RipItUp he headed for Queen Street – but as the eighties got underway – the Queen Street V8 scene faded. A later photo might be a single car moving through the bleak environment, looking for a scene that is no longer there. The dark, empty street has a character of its own and starts to takeover the images.
When he ended his involvement with RipItUp magazine in 1998, he set out to do a series of photographic exhibitions but was thwarted by the digital takeover of photography and the realisation that key images from his Flash Cars series were missing – last seen in the 1980s. In mid-2014, the missing negatives were found, allowing a comprehensive exhibition to be undertaken. Jenny Tomlin,
a specialist in the field of silver gelatin printing has made the new prints for the show. Cammick's Queen Street photographs are represented in the Te Papa National Gallery & Museum, Wellington. His photographs have been published in Art Of Te Papa (2009), NZ Photography Collected (2015, Te Papa Press) and Into The Light: A History Art Of NZ Photography (2006, Craig Potten Press).
Selections from 'Flash Cars' have been seen in exhibitions at Snaps Gallery, Auckland in 1976 and 1977 and have also in group exhibitions including The Active Eye (Manawatu Art Gallery 1975), Drive (Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, New Plymouth 2000) and 40 Years of Photo-Forum (2014). 'Flash Cars' Makes a long awaited return to Ponsonby, Auckland in August 2016 with a full exhibition at Black Asterisk.

Today I'll take a break from discussing Six Persistent Enigmas about Consciousness, to comment on The Economist's recent series on six great mysteries of science. I highly recommend these thoughtful and fact-filled two-page essays, and the final installment (September 12) is titled:
"What is consciousness? The hard problem"
There's a lot of good material in this piece, but journalism often contains mistakes, even in a respected periodical such as The Economist. A few examples:
"Subjective though it is, consciousness … looks like a specific phenomenon, not a mere side-effect." But of course side effects can be "specific."
I think it's fairly obvious that being conscious, in the sense of having vivid, sensuous, introspectible experiences, is quite different from being self-conscious, in the sense of being aware of oneself. In all probability, many animals that lack self-consciousness are perceptually aware of their surroundings and their own body-sensations. But the article muddles these two uses of the term "consciousness" repeatedly.
Some people with damaged visual cortices have "blindsight." They report that they cannot see anything in large areas of the visual field, but if they are asked a yes-no question about the "blind" part of their visual field they can often answer correctly – e.g., "Did a light flash just now?" I have never heard of blindsighters spontaneously reaching out and picking up things they cannot see. But The Economist claims they can "point to, and even grasp, objects in their visual fields." (If researchers have found blindsighters who do that spontaneously, without being cued, I am happy to be corrected, but I'm skeptical.)
These criticisms aside, the whole series is worth seeking out, and it is complimented by a series of brief videos. The video on consciousness showcases major scientists and philosophers such as Christof Koch, David Chalmers, and Daniel Dennett. See http://www.economist.com/sciencebriefs..

Experienced Honolulu Bus Accident Lawyers Representing Clients in Injury Claims
The legal team at Shim & Chang have represented many bus accident victims in Honolulu and throughout Hawaii. We have obtained compensation for bus passengers who were injured while riding a city bus, as well as recoveries for automobile drivers and pedestrians hit by public transit and tour buses.
Representing Passengers Injured while Riding "The Bus" in Honolulu
Oahu Transit Services (OTS) operates "The Bus" transportation system in Honolulu. Many locals use The Bus to travel to and from work each day, and The Bus is especially popular among senior citizens who no longer drive their own vehicles. While The Bus provides a valuable service to people in Honolulu, avoidable injuries do occur on city buses. For example, a bus driver may not wait for a senior citizen to sit down before pulling forward, causing the senior to fall and sustain an injury. Other driver behaviors that may cause passenger injuries include:
- Sudden braking
- Making sharp turns while passengers are standing
- Jumping curbs while making turns
- Closing doors while passengers are still attempting to enter or exit a bus
- Quickly accelerating to make a green light
Our Hawaii bus accident lawyers understand how to hold transit companies responsible for a bus driver's failure to provide passengers with safe transportation. We will also look at the operability and condition of the bus itself to see if any mechanical or equipment issues caused or contributed to our client's accident.
Experienced Representation for Drivers & Pedestrians Hit by Buses
The Honolulu lawyers at Shim & Chang also represent car and truck drivers and pedestrians hit by city buses and tour buses. For drivers of smaller vehicles and people on foot, a collision with a large bus can result in serious injuries and even death. Our extensive experience handling personal injury and wrongful death claims means we are well equipped to handle these potentially complex cases.
Seek Advice & Representation from a Skilled Bus Accident Lawyer in Honolulu
If you have been hurt in a bus accident, as a passenger or while on the road, you need the assistance of skilled Honolulu lawyer to ensure you receive maximum compensation for your injuries. Few personal injury law firms can rival our experience dealing with insurance companies, government entities, and at-fault parties. For a complimentary consultation regarding your injury and options for recovery, please contact Shim & Chang today. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no legal fees until we obtain compensation on your behalf.

Jefferson will now make his home in Milwaukee.
Gary Dineen/NBAE/Getty Images
Just ask the Boston Celtics, who acquired Ray Allen at last year's Draft and will now be adding a 17th banner to the rafters of the TD Banknorth Garden. Just ask the Portland Trail Blazers, who dealt Zach Randolph to New York last year, an addition by subtraction move if there ever was one, as it clearly helped the development of both Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge.
Similarly, the deal that sent Jason Richardson from Golden State to Charlotte allowed Monta Ellis to grow into a star for the Warriors, who despite missing the Playoffs, still won six more games this year than they won the year before, even though the guy whose rights they traded Richardson for, Brandan Wright, barely played.
In the NBA, you have your contenders. You have your teams that are building for the future. And then, you have teams that are in no-man's land, caught between contending and rebuilding. This is one of those days that the no-man's-land squads can put themselves in one of the other two groups.
This year, their weren't as many veterans passed around during the draft. And of course, the headlines will focus on the Bulls and Heat drafting potential franchise players in Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley.
Still, there was one deal that could have major implications down the line, another that will send an All-Star packing in a couple of weeks, and a third that will eventually be an indication of how good a couple of GMs are at evaluating young talent.
Here are all the deals that went down, officially and reportedly...
The trade is risky for the Nets, but it can pay off in more than one way. They know they're losing a quality veteran in Jefferson, but Yi is 6-11, just 20 years old (we think), skilled, and athletic. He has a world of potential and could eventually be better than RJ. In the meantime, with his popularity in the most populated country in the world, and a huge Chinese population just a few miles away from IZOD Center, he should help bring in some extra revenue for a team that has been in the red in their red building.
And of course, there's the whole summer of 2010 dream. There's no doubt now, with Simmons' big contract coming off the books a year earlier than Jefferson's and just in time to create cap space for the King when he becomes a free agent, that the Nets are putting themselves in the LeBron James sweepstakes.
And if LeBron envisions himself as a global icon, he might see the opportunity to team with Yi, in addition to moving to a larger market, as a wise business move. So in reality, we won't be able to grade this deal for the Nets for another two years.
On the other side of the deal, the Bucks get a reliable and steady player on both ends of the floor. Jefferson averaged a career-high 22.6 points per game this season and if the Bucks deal Michael Redd, they know that RJ can help pick up the scoring slack. He's also a solid defender who has matched up pretty well with James and Tayshaun Prince, two division foes, in the past.
In the end, the deal probably didn't affect the two teams' lottery picks. The Bucks took Joe Alexander, who they had been targeting for several days now, with the eighth pick. And with the 10th pick, the Nets selected Brook Lopez, who fills a need that they've had since the summer of 2004: toughness down low.
After three seasons of mediocrity, the Pacers can finally start fresh by dealing O'Neal. Ford obviously fills their No. 1 need: a floor leader who will push the ball to Jim O'Brien's liking. And Nesterovic and Hibbert give them depth up front.
The Raptors, as long as O'Neal is healthy, make a move that could get them over that First Round hump. An All-Star frontline tandem of O'Neal and Chris Bosh is pretty potent, and O'Neal will certainly help with one of the Raptors' biggest weaknesses over the last couple of years: rebounding.
In addition, Toronto removes the obstacle that was keeping Jose Calderon from being their primary point guard. Calderon had a breakout season this year, but sacrificed himself for the sake of team chemistry by allowing Ford to start after he returned from injury. Of course, for the plan to come together, Toronto needs to resign Calderon, who is a restricted free agent this summer.
The trade can't take place until July 9 though, because of the base-year-compensation status of Ford's contract.
Portland clearly saw an opportunity to trade up to get the best player available who had surprisingly slipped past the top 10. If Bayless impresses in training camp, he could very well be starting next to Brandon Roy in the Blazers' backcourt next season. Otherwise, he could back up both Roy and Steve Blake and give them some needed firepower off the bench.
Before the Draft, you wondered if, given their existing talented youth, the Blazers should just trade out of the first round entirely. But the opportunity to get a talent like Bayless was too good to pass up. With Roy, Aldridge and Greg Oden, their future was bright already. Throw in Bayless, projected to go fourth in this draft for much of the last month, and it's even brighter.
The Pacers get a shooter in Rush, as well as a solid point guard in Jack, who could compete with Ford for the starting job in Indiana. And with the deal, it becomes all the more likely that Jamaal Tinsley will not be a Pacer come October.
No two GMs have been more maligned in the past year than Minnesota's Kevin McHale and Memphis' Chris Wallace. Some say that they're more responsible for putting the Celtics and Lakers into the Finals than the Celtics and Lakers themselves. So, this trade is a chance for one of them to redeem himself eventually. The question is: Which one will that be?
If McHale is really getting in Kevin Love what he thinks he's getting, the Timberwolves have taken a big step in the right direction, because in Miller, they're getting the best veteran in the deal by far. And Love teams with Al Jefferson to provide a young, talented frontcourt.
But if O.J. Mayo turns out to be a star and Love just a role player, then this deal could be just as bad for the Timberwolves as when they dealt the rights to Brandon Roy to Portland.
For Wallace and the Grizzlies, they've got a lot of young backcourt talent (Mayo, Rudy Gay, Mike Conley), but it's yet to be seen how they fit together.
Three-team Deal:
The Blazers acquired the rights to Nicolas Batum (25) from the Rockets.
The Rockets acquired the rights to Donte Greene (28) and a 2009 second round pick from the Grizzlies.
The Rockets acquired the rights to Joey Dorsey (33) from the Blazers.
The Grizzlies acquired the rights to Darrell Arthur (27) from the Blazers.
The Pistons traded the rights to D.J. White (29) to the Sonics for the rights to Walter Sharpe (32) and Trent Plaisted (46).
The Timberwolves traded the rights to Mario Chalmers (34) to the Heat for two future second round picks and cash.
Three-team Deal:
The Bulls acquired the rights to Omer Asik (34) from the Blazers.
The Blazers acquired a 2009 second-round pick from the Nuggets plus two future second-round picks from the Bulls.
The Nuggets acquired the rights to Sonny Weems (39) from the Bulls.
The Spurs traded the rights to Goran Dragic (45) to the Suns for the rights to Malik Hairston (48), a 2009 second round pick and cash.
The Wizards traded the rights to Bill Walker (47) to the Celtics for cash.
The Heat traded the rights to Darnell Jackson (52) to the Cavaliers for a 2009 second round pick.
The Blazers traded the rights to Mike Taylor (55) to the Clippers for a future second round pick.

PARIS (AP) — Japanese players Kei Nishikori and Naomi Osaka both advanced to the third round at the French Open on Wednesday with straight-set wins.
Nishikori broke Andrey Kuznetsov six times and saved seven break points in a 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 win on Court 1.
The 2014 U.S. Open finalist, seeded fifth at Roland Garros, was a quarterfinalist in Paris last year.
Osaka, still 18 and playing in only her second major tournament, has yet to drop a set. She beat 32nd-seeded Jelena Ostapenko in the first round and defeated Mirjana Lucic-Baroni 6-3, 6-3 in the first match on Court 14 on Wednesday.
Osaka also reached the third round in her first Grand Slam tournament, this year's Australian Open. She next plays 2014 finalist Simona Halep. The sixth-seeded Romanian rallied from 4-1 down in the first set to beat Zarina Diyas 7-6 (5), 6-2.

Your GetReligionistas are big fans, when it comes to the work of Associated Press religion scribe Eric Gorski. However, there are times when it is hard to pack all of the good stuff into the small package that is the typical wire-service story. Thus, before you read Gorski's recent report about the Vatican and the postmodern nuns -- the USA Today headline was "U.S. Catholic sisters probed on doctrine, fidelity" -- kindly consider the following quote from the famous 2007 address by Sinsinawa Dominican Sister Laurie Brink praising the many suns who have moved "beyond the church, even beyond Jesus" and into an interfaith approach to their work and theology. She was speaking at the national gathering of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, an organization at the center of the Vatican's concerns about the religious health of many religious orders here in North America.
In a Scripps Howard column on the subject, I offered this slice of this famous speech about the "sojourning" orders in this day and age:
"Religious titles, institutional limitations, ecclesiastical authorities no longer fit this congregation, which in most respects is Post-Christian," added Brink, a former journalist who is a biblical studies professor at Chicago's Catholic Theological Union. For these women, the "Jesus narrative is not the only or the most important narrative. ... They still hold up and reverence the values of the Gospel, but they also recognize that these same values are not solely the property of Christianity. Buddhism, Native American spirituality, Judaism, Islam and others hold similar tenets for right behavior within the community, right relationship with the earth and right relationship with the Divine."
Now, with that quote in mind, work your way through Gorski's report about this "apostolic visitation" and the research document that is guiding it.
Read on:
... (The) nature of some questions in the document seems to validate concerns expressed privately by some sisters that they're about to be dressed down or accused of being unfaithful to the church.
The report, for example, asks communities of sisters to lay out "the process for responding to sisters who dissent publicly or privately from the authoritative teaching of the Church." It also confirms suspicions that the Vatican is concerned over a drift to the left on doctrine, seeking answers about "the soundness of doctrine held and taught" by the women.
Still other questions explore whether sisters take part in Mass daily, or whether they follow the church's rules when they take part in liturgies. Church officials expect consistency in how rites and services are celebrated, with approved translations and Masses presided over by a priest.
Liberal Catholics are framing this investigation in terms of women's rights and they have every right to do so. Conservatives basically agree with the Vatican, which is what conservatives do most of the time.
However, the story never provides insights into the wide array of doctrinal issues at stake. It's sounds like another fight over women's ordination, not a debate about essential, creedal issues of ancient Christianity -- such as the uniqueness of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ.
Brink is by no means the only sister saying what she is saying. Where are the quotes in the AP story that point toward the actual doctrinal issues that are involved?
It seems that there is a big ecclesiastical mystery here and some people have no idea why the Vatican is concerned. Thus:
Francine Cardman, associate professor of historical theology and church history at Boston College's School of Theology and Ministry, said it isn't clear why these questions are being asked now in the U.S.
But she said the focus on doctrine puts it in the context of establishing a "correct" and exclusive interpretation of the Second Vatican Council of the 1960s and of women's religious communities. She said the inquiry should be seen "as part of a much older tradition of misogyny in the church and especially distrust of women who are not directly and submissively under male, ecclesiastical control."
In the end, we have another "she said, she said" story. This was a case where the editors needed to give Gorski a bit more room. We needed some real, live quotes to establish the width and depth of the issues that are really at stake.
Is the Vatican ready to move "beyond the church, even beyond Jesus"?
That's the heart of this story. Right there.

Happy Birthday…Who?
Happy Birthday to Nicole and Vicki of course! Wait...who are Nicole & Vicki? We have no idea.So this huge cake appears in the kitchen area this morning around 9am. There are some pieces cut out of it, so clearly some people have already dug in. Who? No one knows.
The cake reads 'Happy Birthday Nicole & Vicki'. There is no one that works here at FUN 107 or WBSM with either of those names. Hmm...weird. So who is this cake for?? No one knows.
Now, my office is directly outside of the kitchen area where the cake was left, and I played a fun little game today at work. I counted the amount of times I heard people walk by the cake and say "Who the heck are Nicole & Vicki?" Guess how many times? 17. 17 people walked by this mysterious cake and asked who Nicole & Vicki were!!
How the heck did this cake just appear and no one knows who it's for, where it came from, or who ate some of it already?
Very strange...

Vanuatu, Gold and Current Affairs with a healthy measure of paternal cynicism thrown in for luck!Posted: 03/01/2014 in Box of Chocolates, Finance, GOLD, Vanuatu
Tags: 2014, Central Bank, current affairs, cynicism, ECB, Federal Reserve, gold, gold investors, healthy, healthy measure, IMF, paternal, RBA, Vanuatu, Vanuatu Government, WTO
2014 is a year that will be a year of DRAMATIC change – for pretty much everyone, I believe. Please allow me to expand on this – just a little….or if you prefer, let's just say that I'm happy to stick my neck out a little…or a lot if the situation at hand necessitates it.
VANUATU has a very good chance of putting down strong roots in 2014, roots that would propel it onto a path of greater self-determination. This can/should come from a number of areas such as the Vanuatu Government doing everything in its power, as a currently forgotten and/or to-date ignored Member of the WTO, to revive the kava export industry (Australia would be an appropriate start, methinks), continuation of the progress being made with regard to the legitimization of land ownership claims, planning and implementation of Vanuatu's attractiveness as an IT-savvy and IT-friendly place within which to conduct an IT-related business, for instance – call centres for major off-shore corporations and financial institutions and the like.
GOLD has been an absolute boon for Gold INVESTORS (Note the emphasis on "Investors"?). Its spot price has steadily deteriorated over the past two years or so thereby giving "dollar-cost-averaging" Investors (there's THAT word again) the opportunity to make a mid-to-long-term killing.
Locally (Vanuatu and Australia), there's a lot that can be said about the good, the bad and the ugly side of politics and bureaucracy. Some of it is refreshing, some disgusting, some appalling and some – just plain bloody unbelievable in its apparent untouchable temerity!
And finally, there's the insane, the crazy, the weirdness or purely absurd and/or funny as hell.
So stay tuned for a mix of all of this in the year ahead – 2014 – the year of change! For better or worse? Well, to a very large degree, it's all going to come down to what YOU do…or NOT do.
Switzerland to Hold Referendum on Gold Reserve PolicyPosted: 20/04/2013 in Finance, GOLD, Vanuatu
Tags: currency, ECB, EU, Euro, Europe, Fed, Federal Reserve, gold, Gold Reserves, Swiss, Switzerland, Vanuatu
Perhaps there is a lesson in this for our own country?
When you read this article here, take particular note of the following comments…."….follows the disposal of some of its (Switzerland's) gold reserves between 2000 and 2008, as part of an agreement among global central banks to reduce their holdings of gold."
In other words, the Central Banks agreed to sell off their gold in exchange for more Monopoly money. Say what?
Then there's this lovely observation made by a financial commentator – "
"This has a long way to go yet, and may not be passed when the referendum does happen," noted Macquarie Bank precious metals analyst Matthew Turner.
"If it did, it would be incredibly bullish, a rocket for gold prices as we are talking about huge purchases that would have to be made. But the Swiss National Bank will not want its reserves policy to be determined by referenda and this proposal will be countered," he added."
Yes – I have highlighted those sections a gold bug would find interesting. Just don't underestimate the Swiss, is all I say!
Keep Your Grubby Hands Off OUR Money! (Part Two)Posted: 30/03/2013 in Finance, GOLD, Vanuatu

Here is Part Two of "Keep Your Grubby Hands Off OUR Money!" Enjoy….
(Note: All of my media articles can be found on the Home page of "The Watcher" or here (The Money Connection).
By now, you all know of my passionate interest in anti-corruption and my activist role in attempts to change things for the better in Vanuatu. The Vanuatu government ratified a UN Convention, 2 years ago, wherein an anti-corruption body was to be formed. This has not happened yet and time is running out for the government to meet its UN obligations.
Fortunately, the new Cabinet includes Ralph Regenvanu, the new Lands Minister, President of the Graon mo Jastis Pati and current Government Spokesman. I say "fortunately" because Ralph is also an enthusiastic anti-corruption advocate. As such, I am hoping and anticipating that he will "make it happen", sooner, rather than later.
On the world scene, things have also been pretty chaotic – Civil wars in Africa, Cyprus citizens robbed of their savings, calls by Germany for the Italians to have some of their personal wealth confiscated as well (15%), attempted leadership spill in Australia, South Korea and Guam are on "high alert" due to North Korea making a lot of noises about war and Argentina pushing to take over the Falklands again in light of the first-ever commercial oil discovery there. Hope the situation doesn't arise where another "Maggie Thatcher" is needed again, as in 1982!
A word or two on GOLD. The "mates club" members – IMF, WTO, World Bank, EU, US Federal Reserve and the ECB have done a cracker of a job in their apparent common goal of creating economic chaos. Their so-called attempts to "stimulate growth" have been a hoax. Why? Well, they continue to debase the global currencies ad nauseum and simultaneously decry the value of GOLD (E.g., Ben Bernanke's stated view that gold is NOT money) but what are they doing in practice? Surprise! They're buying gold as if there were no tomorrow. For the first time in 20 years, the Central Banks became net BUYERS of gold in 2011 and have retained that position ever since.
Pension Funds, worldwide, are now pushing to have a proportion of their assets allocated to gold (Hmmm, I wonder what the VNPF's position is on this?). Note: I know that the current Reserve Bank Governor has stated that Vanuatu has no gold nor is there any intention of having gold in the nation's coffers.
These two trending factors, Central Bank buying and Pension Fund buying combined with an increasing private demand for gold, stand to push up its prices and in my view, dramatically.
There are many indicators emerging that suggest that 2013 could well be the watershed year for global finances. The issue is not whether we'll feel any pain from a global financial collapse but rather how much pain and how soon? In times such as these, gold always proves its worth as a "store of value". Got some? No? Get some.

Locally, well not much has changed over the past week or so– we're getting a 1.5 Billion Vatu Convention Centre, courtesy of China. A likely white elephant, in my view and all the while sorely-needed money for health and education goes wanting.
Sometimes, I swear, I think there must be something to the "there are aliens amongst us in human form" theory because the actions of the policy-makers and law-makers here defy human logic.
Looking abroad, I guess the first point to make about the past week is that watching the markets has been as about as exciting as listening to the Antartic weather forecast for tomorrow (COLD!). All very "Ho hum", you might say.
Apart from Japan's, the others have all experienced small daily pluses/minuses with the end result that all ended "up" for the week.
What could have affected the markets in a manner that drove them in the same direction?
It's all been to do with "money" or rather, the lack thereof.
JAPAN. Currently has a national debt that is 24 times the tax revenues. Their new Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, has declared a new strategy for their economy. You guessed it – grease the wheels of the money-printing presses and let 'er rip! This, from "The Guardian", U.K…… "The interest rate on Japan's 10-year government bonds is now less than 1% – the lowest in the world, despite a very high level of government debt and annual budget deficits. Indeed, Japan's debt is roughly 230% of GDP, higher than that of Greece (175% of GDP) and nearly twice that of Italy (125%). The annual budget deficit is nearly 10% of GDP, higher than any of the Eurozone countries. With nominal GDP stagnating, that deficit is causing the debt/GDP ratio to rise by 10% annually."
One response from angryboy that had what I reckon is a good take on the issue, said –
"The Japanese have been trying to "kick start" their economy for years but all they seem to be doing is proving that Keynesian "stimulus" efforts work just like any other artificial stimulant by providing a short lived boost that does nothing to provide any sustainable, positive changes and leaves the country ever deeper in debt.
The one positive note is that there are plenty of lessons on what not to do for the West to learn from"
U.S. "President Barack Obama says Congress has to raise the debt ceiling because they already spent the money."
Oh dear! And this from the leader of the largest economy on the planet (sigh).
CHINA. A different story to remind you about. There is continuing discussion and speculation about the Yuan gaining increasing status as a "currency of choice". The facts speak for themselves and this CBNC article "Yuan as a World Currency? Getting there Fast" is but one of many snippets of the "facts" out there in mainstream and academic media.
PHOCEA SAGA. We're watching the events and news surrounding this issue and will keep you posted. Is this the straw that will break the back of the Kilman government?

Looking back on 2012, what would you rate as the most important/significant events of the year? What about yourself? Did you have a good year…or something else? For some thoughts from yours truly, check out my first diatribe for 2013 – "The Certified BULLS**T Club – New Members Welcome!"
Globally, I feel it's fair to say that the major events of the year were the US Presidential elections, events in Syria and the London Olympics. Whatever the world events, it's the things that happen in YOUR close world of friends, family, business colleagues and community that affect you most and therefore are most likely to hold priority for you.
For most of the people I know, it's been a financially challenging year and for some – devastating. Businesses closed down, bank re-possessions, jobs lost, no money for school fees and so on.
Sure, there have been some individual successes as well. I wish I could name some of these great people, men and women who are quietly achieving….in the true sense of the word. I won't though, as they are unequivocally entitled to their privacy. I can say this – I'm eagerly awaiting the next 12 months as these people continue to grow their successes, more often than not because of the challenges faced by them. The most personally gratifying factor for me is that each and every one of them is, without exception, a good person and human being!
2012 was an interesting year for yours truly. Apart from a couple of temporary "nasties", it was a pretty good year from a health perspective. I have worked with some really cool and successful people this past 12 months. Had some fun too…..small stint on radio, my regular shell (or two) with my nakamal mates, some special occasions with my wife and social occasions with friends. Overall, I consider 2012 to have been a good year ending in a foundation for an even better 2013.
Okay, now let's leave the beer & skittles and roses behind for a spell…….
My perception is that there is a distinct air of "change" omnipresent. I have heard it said many times recently, in many different quarters, that people are looking to 2013 as a year of change – for the better. Perhaps we are on the verge of an era that will bring with it a greater participation, numbers-wise, in meeting the challenges ahead, in concert with others and for the benefit of all. I hope so. It's not going to be an easy task but one that is "do-able".
I plan to keep up my writings to you, dear reader and with a bit of luck, keep you entertained as well as informed. I'll also be doing my bit on the anti-corruption front, particularly locally, so you can expect to read/hear more on this subject. On that note, I ask that you check out the "Certified BULLS**T Club" site and please, if you feel you have a possible contender for an award, send in your nomination for the inaugural January Awards.

By the way, I also hope that I may have helped improve your financial position in some fashion. Hopefully my occasional attempts at humour have also helped to entertain you along the way.

Global Conference 2017
Transforming the Urban Landscape
Monday, May 1, 2017 / 3:45 pm - 4:45 pm
Whittier Room
Technology has always been the catalyst that has driven the evolution of cities. Building design, transportation, infrastructure, energy usage and connectivity are undergoing massive changes that affect how we live, work and play in our urban landscape. Beyond passenger cars, the adoption of autonomous taxis, trucks and delivery vehicles could ultimately have the greatest impact on reducing congestion.
- How is the integration of smart city technology influencing our living space?
- What are the solutions to challenges such as expensive housing, excessively long commutes and fossil fuel dependency?
- What are the new digital technologies that are making cities more livable and what is the effect on our privacy and security?

We are excited to announce that we have teamed up with the Taos Arts Council to put together a beautiful show, now open to the public at The Town Hall of Taos!
A while back we were approached by Paul Figueroa, of the Taos Arts Council, to put together a exhibit to be hung in a large public space, The Town Hall of Taos. It sounded like a fun opportunity, so we agreed. We started out thinking we would approach this like any other gallery hanging, featuring all of our artists. Though this would be beautiful, after a lot of discussion, we decided to go in a different direction…
We wanted to make it an educational and interactive exhibit, featuring the work of some of the many wonderful people that are involved with Weaving Southwest. We invited several of our students, including Paul Tracy, who after a couple classes (with us and Tierra Wools) and weaving one sampler piece, created the beautiful rug shown here. We invited several artists that use our yarn, like Kay Harris of Taos who weaves beautiful afghans on a Weave-It Loom using our 2-ply Tapestry Yarns. Of course, we invited all of our artists!
We also wanted to tell the story of Weaving Southwest. Who we are, what we do and why we do it. We were able to get a couple of my Grandma Rachel Brown's tapestries as well as pieces from my great aunt, Kristina Wilson, and step-grandmother, Joan Loveless. If you have read The Three Weavers or are from these parts, it is very likely that you have heard their names. Those three women had such a huge impact on weaving in Northern New Mexico and I felt their story should be shared.
Shortly before we started hanging the show, I came across a scrapbook that belonged to my Grandma Rachel. It contained newspaper clippings dating back as far as the 1940's. We mounted these articles along with bios of all of the participants (thanks to Copy Queen of Taos and the Barry Norris Studio) and hung them throughout the show, in hopes of guiding the viewer through the wonderful and rich history that is Weaving Southwest.
We are having an opening at Town Hall, 400 Camino De La Placita, from 5-7PM tomorrow, Friday, January 24, 2014. If you are in the area, we would love for you to join us! The show will hang through March 28th, so if you can't make it tomorrow, maybe you can make it some time over the next couple months.
We realize not everyone can make it to Taos on such short notice, so we have decided to share the entire show via our blog! Every couple days, we will have posts featuring our artists, students and weavers that use our yarn. I am also transcribing all of the articles, so you will be able to follow the wonderful story that brought Weaving Southwest to where it is today.
I hope you enjoy this exhibit, in person or virtually, as much as we enjoyed putting it together for you!
