Jan Dunlap - A Bobwhite Killing
A Bobwhite Killing
by Jan Dunlap
Birders always hope for a rarity when they go on a Birding Weekend, but when Bob White finds the weekend leader sporting bullet holes in his chest, he realizes that more than an unusual bird is at stake. To make matters worse, Bob must contend with a lost love, big cats, ATV enthusiasts, and small-town intrigue as he sets out to find a killer, along with an elusive Northern Bobwhite, in Minnesota's Fillmore County. In this third Birder Murder mystery, Bob discovers that the past and present can collide in surprising ways to shape the future…assuming he'll survive the weekend and still be around to see it.
Jan Dunlap is the author of the Bob White Birder Murder Mystery series, which combines serious bird watching, dead bodies, environmental issues, and humorous complications! The first two novels in the series, The Boreal Owl Murder and Murder on Warbler Weekend, have attracted a wide range of readers, from birders to mystery lovers of all ages. While she is pleased to have received numerous accolades and Minnesota Book Award nominations for the novels, Jan thinks her greatest accomplishment is juggling – she is an author, speaker, adjunct professor, and mother of five children. A former high school career center manager, she often finds bits of real life sneaking into her Bob White books. She lives in Chaska, Minnesota, and welcomes visitors to her website at www.jandunlap.com.

CRUSH: The End of Anonymity
CRUSH - Bringing you the latest in social media news in four minutes or less. And in our own exciting news - we've gone HD, making our crushing capabilities that much clearer. Enjoy! Don't forget to join us on Facebook and Twitter, and get your daily crush at www.commonsensenms.com Facebook took center stage this week with its annual developers conference, F8. What were the biggest announcements? Although Facebook founder Marc Zuckerberg displayed a dozen new tools and widgets, the most significant announcement to prepare for is the "open graph platform". Open Graph plans to connect all corners in the web in order to "create a Web that's smarter, more social, more personalized, and more semantically aware". As one element of this platform, website owners will have a chance to place a "Like" button on their pages, allowing Facebook to then publish whatever a user likes directly to their Facebook profile.
Of course the privacy police have already stated concern over the new development, and with good reason. When does sharing data on what we read, view, listen to, and interact with on the web become invasive as opposed to interactive? Stay tuned to CRUSH for latest in what is sure to be an upcoming battle over personalization versus privacy.
In honor of the recent celebration of Earth Day, we encourage you to fly on over to the "We Love Birds" community on Ning. Hosted by NRDC and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, "We Love Birds" is one of the best uses of Ning we've seen yet. View some of natures' finest yourself with the over 7,000 stunning photos.
While social media sites continue to innovate at a crushing speed, the honorable justices of the US Supreme Court seem to be experiencing technical difficulties. The divide between "the hip justices and hip-replacement judges" was made painfully clear during this week's court discussion over sexting and privacy rights. Embarrassing highlights from the case:
- Chief Justice Roberts asks what the difference was between email and a pager
- Justice Kennedy wondered what would happen if you were sent a text the same time you were sending one to someone else - "Does it say: 'Your call is important to us, and we will get back to you?"
- Justice Scalia's confusion on service providers and concern of whether they can be shared by printing them - "You mean (the text) doesn't go right to me?"..."Could Quon print these spicy little conversations and send them to his buddies?"
In other online sex news, we would like to commend Apple's decision to trash nearly 6,000 sexually suggestive iPhone apps. Refreshing to see some leadership within corporate America, and hats off to Steve Jobs for refusing to chose profits over the objectification of women.
And that brings us to our CRUSH OF THE WEEK - Our story this week truly reveals the power of social media, as Mayor of East Haven Connecticut donated a kidney to a Facebook Friend, Carlos Sanchez, after seeing the status update Sanchez posted saying his friends and relatives had all been tested but were not a match. Making the Mayor a hero in our books, and Facebook her loyal sidekick.

The Dow Jones industrial average topped 18,000 today for the first time ever.
Notably, when President Barack Obama took office the Dow stood at 7,949 — meaning it has more than doubled during his terms. So, should he get some credit for that? And, despite the market's rise, do most Americans think they're better off now than six years ago?

The Art of Japan: traditions and modernity"
Recently I heard of a Japanese saying. "The one with the terrace beside the water, the moon before others see." What it's about. About the amazing love of man to nature. Japanese myths tell that when the gods Izanami and Izanagi over the rainbow descended from the heavens to separate the earth from the abyss, struck Izanagi the powerful spear on abyss and then with his spear rolled the string drops. These drops formed a curved chain of Islands. Yamato is the ancient name of Japan, means "way of the mountains". The name "Yamato" suggests that the creation of Japan is not yet complete. "The land of the rising sun" called her neighbors.
Japanese love to the lovely is rooted in their love of nature. Japan is a country of beautiful landscapes in a soft green-blue tones. This delicate range can sometimes break the fall colors of the maples Continue reading

Luis Suarez charged with racist abuse by Football Association
Luis Suárez is facing a battle to clear his name and salvage his reputation after becoming the most high-profile Premier League player to be charged by the FA in connection with an alleged offence of racism.
In the latest twist to a saga that began with Patrice Evra accusing Suárez of abusing him "at least ten times" during a Barclays Premier League fixture between Liverpool and Manchester United on October 15, the FA deemed that the Uruguay striker does indeed have a case to answer.
Liverpool have remained steadfast in support of their player and a statement was released to that effect, confirming that their position on the matter is unchanged and that they will continue to afford the 24-year-old their unequivocal backing.

Project Description
[vc_row el_position="first last"][vc_column width="2/3″][vc_column_text el_position="first"]
Stand Alone Inverters
In non-grid connected areas, a stand alone system is a brilliant way to supply power to your house. If you live in an off-grid area where the cost of connecting to the grid is astronomical, speak to our system designers to achieve your ideal renewable power solution.
Our stand alone inverters are designed for remote application or off-grid power systems with battery backup. These inverters are ideal for situations where the Queensland power grid is not available but AC power is needed.
An Inverter is used as part of a solar power unit to draw DC power from batteries charged by solar arrays and convert it to AC power suitable for use in everyday appliances. Our stand alone inverters provide a variety of size and output ranges depending on your needs.
The AC output voltage of a stand alone inverter device is often the same as standard power line voltage, such as the household 240VAC common here in Brisbane. This allows the stand alone inverter to power numerous types of equipment designed to operate off of standard line power. The designed for output voltage is often provided as a regulated output. That is, changes in the load the inverter is driving will not result in output voltage change from the inverter. In a sophisticated stand alone inverter, the output voltage may be selectable or even continuously variable.
A RAPS (Remote Area Power System) or Stand Alone system uses solar panels to charge large batteries which are then used for power during non-daylight hours.Stand alone systems are normally only suitable for non-grid connected areas, however in some situations a battery backup system is essential in case of grid power outage. Ask our solar experts about battery backup if your location, home or building requires it.[/vc_column_text][vc_teaser_grid grid_columns_count="4″ grid_teasers_count="100″ grid_content="teaser" grid_layout="thumbnail_title" grid_link="link_post" grid_link_target="_self" grid_template="grid" grid_layout_mode="fitRows" grid_thumb_size="180×180″ grid_posttypes="post" grid_categories="inverters-standalone-category" order="ASC" el_position="last" orderby="title"][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3″]

My father had a stroke two weeks ago and is in a rehab hospital. He is able to walk now but his language skills are greatly diminished. He has trouble finishing a sentence. He cannot remember the names of things. He seems to be in and out of awareness. Because of all of this, he is very depressed and at times becomes very agitated. Because the rehab hospital is two hours away, we can only visit a couple of times a week. Today was a very bad day for him. I was told that they have started anti-depressants. Has anyone else had experiences similar to this and will it get better? I know the rehab hospital cannot keep him if he is not cooperating and that scares me.

Between Darkness and Light
15-16 December – Vienna (Austria)
If you watch a candle you can notice the game between light and darkness. The hot flame radiates light which generates shadows. It creates a space where the darkness and light meet. This is the space that we will investigate in this winterworkshop.
We will use the map of the 5 rhythms to discover the interaction between darkness and light in our body, heart, mind, soul and spirit. How do I move when I'm struggling? How do I move when I feel good? And maybe even more important: How do I move from one to the other? From Darkness to Light? And what do I find in between?
"Offer your body to the realm of mystery and receive the gift of instinct. Offer your heart to the realm of darkness and receive the gift of intimacy. Offer your mind to the realm of chaos and receive the gift of intention. Offer your soul to the realm of unity and receive the gift of integrity. Offer your spirit to the realm of destiny and receive the gift of inspiration."

Christmas has come and gone and now you're probably wondering what to do with that elaborate gingerbread house you spent hours making. Maybe you're curious just how long a gingerbread house can last. I know one in particular that's been around for two decades:
That's right. I made this gingerbread house 20 years ago. Twenty. Years. And it's been stored in my mom's freezer ever since.
We finally convinced her to say goodbye to it this year. Farewell gingerbread house, you had a good run.

Last week my brother and I made plans to head out to the flea market on Saturday morning. It ended up raining and my brother called and cancelled on me. No problem, I certainly had other things to do. Later that afternoon I got a call from my brother and he told me that he ended up going out to the flea market after the rain cleared up without me. He must of felt guilty about it because he stopped by the house and brought me this lovely that he picked up for me while he was out there.
I just love her! I have never seen a red one before. Now I just have to find a name for her. Needless to say all is forgiven, I have the best brother ever.

Tilak Smarak Mandir, Pune, INDIA 411030.
Jyotirvidya Parisanstha (known as JVP to people of Pune, India and to most of the Indian amateur astronomers) is an association of amateur astronomers.
On August 22, 1944 some eminent citizens of pune formed JVP, primarily for the spread of knowledge of astronomy among the public also to make their own contribution as far as possible. It was the first association of its kind and remained so far for a few decades. Right from conception, JVP has been actively working on the propagation of astronomy in purely scientific temperament.
JVP has been arranging sky shows and lectures, which are open to everybody who is interested in astronomy.
Library of JVP boasts some very old and rare books as well as books and magazines giving latest and up to date information on astronomy.
JVP conducts courses on Astronomy basic as well as advanced astronomy like mathematics in astronomy, Astro-photography and telescopes making workshops for amateurs.
JVP has a few good telescopes, which are under active service. During the cloudless months almost every month, members take these telescopes for star parties. The star parties are held at places sufficiently away from the light pollution of the Pune city where the naked eye limiting magnitude even extends upto 6.5 to 7.
JVP has serious observation groups working on: Meteor showers, Occultations and Photometry etc. The observations are being recognised by International centres for these observations like IMO and IOTA.
Few of the members of JVP are active in the field of astrophotography (the images are now made available on our site). Few of the photographs are also published in reputed international journals like Sky & Telescope.
JVP always tries to inform the public of any astronomical event that are likely to take place in the sky. Also JVP tries to keep the public informed about the major activities and the invensions/ discoveries in the field of astronomy through all types of media. Some of JVP members do write regularly in the local newspapers regarding the planetary positions and astronomical events like occultations, space probes, current events in astronomy etc.
Since May 1, 1998 Jyotirvidya is also on internet and will be providing information on various topics to the people all over the globe with up to date information.
JVP is a first Amateur Association to Host ALL INDIA AMATEUR ASTRONOMERS MEET in 1991.

President of Honeywell Process Solution, Vimal Kapur, took some time out of his schedule at HUG EMEA to talk to the media and answered some questions on Honeywell's activity in the Middle Eastern markets
How important is the Middle East Market to Honeywell solutions and what is your growth strategy in this market?
We are based in every country in the Middle East across the board. In fact, I am not aware of any country that we are not present in. We have a manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia and are setting up one in Abu Dhabi next year, in Q1 next year. And of course, we have very good operations in Oman, Qatar, Saudi and UAE, offices in Iraq, Basra, so we are present across the board so yes, we are present there and we think that that is how we are very successful there.
And what is the growth strategy?
Given the situation in the Middle East, there are less opportunities then there was. Once there were ten and now there are two, so there is a significant reduction in opportunities. Customers want to run their assets better, they want more return from their assets which goes well with our story and how we can provide then services which are outcome based, how we provide them software which helps their return on their assets, so this has been our focus around the world not just the Middle East. We can deliver these local, and this is one of strengths.
What do you think about the big nation strategies like the UAE and Saudi pushing towards 2030?
We fully support these national projects and these fully align with us, which is why we are setting up production facilities there. In Saudi in particular, we are supporting the localisation. We have new graduates every year which we train to Honeywell standards until they become Honeywell engineers. We are doing what a corporation should be doing. We are not hampered by our commitment but by the ability of time. We will do everything we can and what is capable, by this is a great thing to do.
Donald Empire (Honeywell PR director): It is not only training but we have set up training centres in Saudi. We do have some partnerships with some of the universities in Saudi.

Your photos are sooooo beautiful! I'm very glad to meet you. Wow, you've lived in a lot of amazing places. I can so relate to your profile description. Goodness, this is sort of a disjointed comment. Anyway, I scrolled and read as far as the sewing machine and came back to say that I learned to sew on something like that. They don't make them as solidly as they used to! Autumn.....it's so strange to see your photos and to think of it. The other side of the world thing isn't as strange as, the other side of the YEAR. Anyway, thanks for hanging out with me in the sunny spot!
Love, Katy Noelle

The Lillebaby EuroTote is a system of 5 products in 1. You can use the EuroTote as a Cradle Carrier, Bunting Bag, Stroller Bag, Play Blanket and Travel Bedding. I have been using this EuroTote for the last month or so with Oliver and for the most part I really like it. Being only 9 weeks old he needs security and safety so I have used it as a Bunting Bag to help cradle him while he is in his bouncy seat or laying on the couch. I have also brought the EuroTote over to my inlaws house so Oliver could lay on their floor and sleep on their couch. It provides a level of familiarity and comfort for him and it provides me with a peace of mind knowing that he is safe.
Since it has been snowing since I received my EuroTote I have not had the opportunity to use my stroller. Who can maneuver something so big in the snow without four-wheel drive? I have also used the EuroTote as a Play Blanket allowing Oliver to play on the floor (and in an environment that I know is clean!)
User Manual from their website.
I wouldn't go so far as to say that this is a piece of baby equipment that I must have. I like to have it around for Ollie to use but it is cumbersome to put together (I made DH do it) and I have yet to find it easy to transport the baby in (maybe because he is so small.) I anticipate being able to use my EuroTote more often now that Oliver is growing up because he won't "get lost" in it so easily. When he was days old I tried carrying him around in it as a bunting bag but he would just slide around in it. Now that he is gaining more strength in his neck and body he is able to stay in it better.
How would you like to win one for yourself (I mean your little one?) They retail for $120 and now you have a chance to win one. Please head over and check out the EuroTote and tell me which one of the 5 ways you would most use this product and tell me which color you like best. You will have to click around the site a little bit to find the colors. Since this is an expensive prize you will have to work for it a little bit.

Sciatica is a specific pain that originates from the sciatic nerves which each run from one side of the pelvis through the hip and buttocks and down the leg. The Sciatic nerve forms what is effectively an electrical cable to and from the brain. Sciatica is a condition where pain, weakness or altered sensation can be experienced in the buttock, hamstring, calf or foot but it stems from the spine, via the Sciatic nerve. The most common cause of Sciatica is compression of the nerve due to a herniated disc.
Common symptoms:
Pain along the back of the leg
Burning or tingling along the leg
Weakness or numbness
Constant pain on one side of the buttocks
Shooting pain aggravated by standing and prolonged sitting
Sciatica may be triggered by very small, normal movements like bending over to one side to pick something up, as well from suffering a trauma like falling off a ladder and landing on your back. It usually affects only one side of the pelvis and leg. Pain extending from the lower back along the back of the leg is a common symptom of sciatica.
Physiotherapy is very effective in the treatment of Sciatica. Treatment by our team of highly skilled Physiotherapists can relieve nerve root compression caused by fibrous scar tissue following a disc prolapse and can treat conditions related to compression of the sciatic nerve by other structures also.
Our Physiotherapists also aim to prevent further episodes of sciatic pain through teaching correct postural techniques, and exercises to correct any muscle imbalance in the spine.
In most cases Sciatica can be managed conservatively. Exercise prescription from a fully qualified Physiotherapist has been shown to play a key role in the successful management of this troublesome condition.
Our Expertise
Our Physiotherapists have a great deal of specific clinical experience in the management of sciatica and lower back conditions.
Initially, our chartered physiotherapists will carry out a thorough assessment, helping them to select the most appropriate treatment to help you recover.
Our highly skilled Physiotherapists will provide expert treatment for your pain as well as prescribing specific exercises to reduce your risk of re-injury and giving you a long term solution.

There's something in the air at The Emirates Stadium. Arsenal Football Club has had a difficult 2012 so far, and patience – for some, at least – is starting to wear thin, leading to a protest that has brought puzzled expressions from elsewhere. At this lunchtime's match against Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League, a group of supporters plans to place black bin bags on seats at the ground prior to the match. But what are the reasons behind this protest, what are its aims, and are those protesting representative of the Arsenal support in a broader sense? Where Has Our Arsenal Gone has been here before, at the end of last season they protested with a march from a pub near the ground to The Emirates Stadium prior to the team's match against Aston Villa. They have a six point manifesto – season tickets, stadium seating, commercial activity, ownership and target markets, the manager and the chairman – and it will certainly be interesting to see how many people choose to get involved in it.
While the protest of the end of last season dissipated somewhat as the team's form picked up this season, we can be reasonably certain that recent tensions have risen on account of another dip in form on the pitch. When the season began, of course, the words "Arsenal" and "crisis" seemed momentarily entwined with each other, but league form picked up and as autumn turned to winter the team's form – largely channelled through the incendiary Robin Van Persie – picked up and it felt as if a sense of detente had descended over the club. Since the new year, however, the wheels have threatened to fall off the wagon again. Arsenal haven't won in the league since a scarcely earth-shattering single goal win against Queens Park Rangers on New Years Eve, with defeats that have included a sensational match away against Swansea City and a loss to Fulham. Last weekend, boos rang loudly around The Emirates Stadium as the team went in at half-time two goals down against Aston Villa. They managed to turn that match around to take their place in the Fifth Round of the competition, but hackles began to rise again on Wednesday night after a lifeless goalless draw against Bolton Wanderers.
The timing of this protest, coming shortly after the transfer window slammed shut for another season, is probably significant. Arsenal remains perhaps the Premier League's most financially prudent club, with the sixty thousand capacity Emirates Stadium generating the sort of income that most other Premier League clubs – and far beyond – would look upon with considerable envy. Why, they may well rationalise, did the club stay relatively quiet in another transfer window when the club's revenue is sufficiently plumpened to be able to merit spending on a clearly faltering team? It is a question that is worth asking, particularly when we consider the cost of missing out on a place in next year's Champions League – something that looks like a distinct possibility, at the time of writing. Finishing below the fourth place spot in the Premier League this season would cost the club in excess of £30m in missed revenue for next season. Moreover, Arsenal is not the only team playing in fits and starts at present. If Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are now starting to look like dots in the distance, Chelsea have looked similarly patchy of late, whilst neither Liverpool or Newcastle United have either shown a great deal of consistency of late. January, protesters may well believe, was an opportunity that has been spurned by the club.
Of course, the question of season ticket and ticket prices seems almost beyond debate. Arsenal increased theirs well beyond the rate of inflation at the end of last season, and they remain the most expensive in the Premier League. The question of stadium seating, meanwhile, hints at dissatisfaction at the atmosphere levels within The Emirates Stadium for home league matches, which has long – whether rightly or wrongly – been a source ridicule from the supporters of other clubs for some time. Arsenal supporters are, of course, best advised to ignore the supporters of clubs on this subject, but the matter of atmosphere is an important one. It can have an effect on the players, and a good atmosphere should be part and parcel of the match-day experience for those that have spent heavily on those tickets in the first place. On the matter of commercial activity, the question of the commercial deals that the club has signed is an interesting one. With Financial Fair Play regulations on the horizon, other clubs have stepped up their search to increase their commercial revenue but it is understood that Arsenal's commercial activities do pall in comparison with those signed by Manchester United and Manchester City of late.
The matter of ownership and target markets again hints at dissatisfaction at the changing culture of Arsenal Football Club, with concern over "the overemphasis of the Board in targeting their 'ideal' match day demographic." The gentrification of football – and in particular Premier League football – began more than two decades ago, of course, and there is a lot of truth in saying that "Short-term greed can and will affect the club over the long term". Whether the directors of a club of this size would listen to supporters on a subject like this, however, is a moot point. It is on the final two points, however, that the aims of Where Has Our Arsenal Gone start to look a little more muddled. There is little that can be argued with in saying that, "We want to see Mr Wenger repeat his early successful years with the club", they stop short of directly criticising the manager. Wenger has, of course, come in for criticism from some supporters this season, but his earlier success at the club means that his position at the club remains relatively secure. Questioning the direction of the club, however, seems valid. January, as mentioned above, now feels like a missed opportunity for Arsenal and missing out on a Champions League place would be costly, both in terms of money and the prestige of the club.
What is difficult to gauge, however, is how representative of the club's broader support Where Has Our Arsenal Gone is. Certainly, the comments underneath this article on the Mirror's website during the week suggest that supporters are divided on the subject of whether they should protest, what they should protest about and what what form any protests should take. The extent of such decisions, perhaps, can be seen from such incidents as the decision of the website Online Gooner to suspend its forum because, according to the site's Twitter feed, "too many posts were, in my opinion, not showing Arsenal fans in a good light." All of this leads us back to a question that we have pondered on this site before: that of entitlement. Do the high ticket prices at The Emirates Stadium give Arsenal supporters a right to expect victory and success. It has been six and a half years since the club last won a trophy, but they could yet, of course, end this season by finishing in a Champions League place – they are, at the time of writing, five points behind fourth-placed Chelsea with fifteen matches left to play: hardly an insurmountable obstacle – and winning the FA Cup.
Of course, losing today to Blackburn Rovers – who beat them at Ewood Park earlier this season in a match that seemed to summarise all of the problems that Arsenal were facing at the time – would be a severe embarrassment for the club, but the fact that Arsenal supporters are unhappy enough to protest in the first place could be regarded as a symptom of the wider malaise that is affecting the game at the moment. The number of clubs at which supporters are expressing their dissatisfaction has increased massively this season, with anger levels rising for a variety of reasons that cover the entire spectrum of issues relating to the state of the game in this country in the twenty-first century. There are some – including, perhaps, Arsenal supporters – who may dismiss today's protests as being what has come to be known as "first world problems", but as a symptom it is revealing that a club for which silverware is still a comparatively recent memory (compare, for example, Arsenal's six years without a major trophy with Newcastle United's forty-two years without one) has an element within its support that is agitating for a return to what may be considered the "core values" of the club. There will be something in the air at The Emirates Stadium this afternoon, and it won't just be flakes of snow.

Gone are those days when the most compact handset would sell the highest. Smartphone users these days are looking for larger screen real estate, and when there is demand, there is supply. More and more manufacturers are launching smartphones with a screen of 5 or more inches. Galaxy Note 2 is a good example, and around 10 million units of the predecessor were sold before the launch of new version.
Other manufacturers are also gearing towards launching 5 inch smartphones. Recently, HTC launched HTC Droid DNA in the US, which is the American variant of HTC J Butterfly which was launched little earlier in Japan. The device comes with high end internals, and is powered by a 1.5-GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, but what makes it stand out of the 5 incher crowd is the screen which it is equipped with. It's has a 5 inch screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080! Yes, the device comes with a 1080p HD display and has a pixel density of whopping 441 ppi. Putting the DNA's screen into perspective, recently launched Samsung Galaxy Note II has a 5.5 inch screen and comes with a resolution of 1280 x 720. Screen real estate is a good thing, but the DNA is better put against the likes of Samsung Galaxy SIII rather than Note II because the latter is equipped with split screen view and Wacom screen that supports stylus, so that's a different arena altogether.
The 5 inch market of course needs some better competing devices and Sony is rumored to have something in the labs, and it's the Yuga and Odin. The Sony Xperia Yuga is anticipated to be Sony's flagship device for 2013, and this device is going to be a good contender for HTC's Droid DNA device because it comes with a 5 inch 1080p display, so the DNA won't be the exclusive device to have that. Coming to the specs, the device is rumored to be powered by 1.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor and 2GB of RAM. Apart from that, it is expected to be equipped with an Exmor Camera sensor which can record 1080p HDR videos, so we expect the device to be very good in the camera department as opposed to Droid DNA which comes with an 8 megapixels camera. According to various sources, the battery will be a 2400mAh one.
Sony Yuga and Odin are apparently the same device with Yuga being the Asian version whereas Odin will be the global version. According to latest leaks, the Sony C650X "Odin" is expected to be 131.6mm x 69.7mm x 9.8mm thick, and weighs only 5.04oz (147g). The Sony C660X Yuga is said to be taller but thinner at 138.6mm x 71mm x 8.1mm, and weight only 140g, despite it having a waterproof cover.
Like Sony's tablets, these devices are also said to be equipped with IR blaster. What are your thoughts on Sony Yuga and Sony Odin? Let us know in the comment section below.

Me neither.
Why is this acceptable? (because we're used to it.)
We could make this possible. We could trace the provenance of data. And at the same time, mostly-solve one of the challenges of distributed systems.
Speaking of distributed systems...In a distributed system (such as a web app), we can't say for sure what events happened before others. We get into general relativity complications even at short distances, because information travels through networks at unpredictable speeds. This means there is no one such thing as time, no single sequence of events that says what happened before what. There is time-at-each-point, and inventing a convenient fiction to reconcile them is a pain in the butt.
We usually deal with this by funneling every event through a single point: a transactional database. Transactions prevent simultaneity. Transactions are a crutch.
Some systems choose to apply an ordering after the fact, so that no clients have to wait their turn in order to write events into the system. We can construct a total ordering, like the one that the transactional database is constructing in realtime, as a batch process. Then we have one timeline, and we can use this to think about what events might have caused which others. Still: putting all events in one single ordering is a crutch. Sometimes, simultaneity is legit.
When two different customers purchase two different items from two different warehouses, it does not matter which happened first. When they purchase the same item, it still doesn't matter - unless we only find one in inventory. And even then: what matters more, that Justyna pushed "Buy" ten seconds before Edith did, or that Edith upgraded to 1-day shipping? Edith is in a bigger hurry. Prioritizing these orders is a business decision. If we raise the time-ordering operation to the business level, we can optimize that decision. At the same time, we stop requiring the underlying system to order every event with respect to every other event.
On the other hand, there are events that we definitely care happened in a specific sequence. If Justyna cancels her purchase, that was predicated on her making it. Don't mix those up. Each customer saw a specific set of prices, a tax amount, and an estimated ship date. These decisions made by the system caused (in part) the customer's purchase. They must be recorded either as part of the purchase event, or as events that happened before the purchase.
Traditionally we record prices and estimated ship date as displayed to the customer inside the purchase. What if instead, we thought of the pricing decision and the ship date decision as events that happened before the purchase? and the purchase recorded that those events definitely happened before the purchase event?
We would be working toward establishing a different kind of event ordering. Did Justyna's purchase happen before Edith's? We can't really say; they were at different locations, and neither influenced the other. That pricing decision though, that did influence Justyna's purchase, so the price decision happened before the purchase.
This allows us to construct a more flexible ordering, something wider than a line.
Causal orderingConsider a git history. By default, git log prints a line of commits as if they happened in that order -- a total ordering.
But that's not reality. Some commits happen before others: each commit I make is based on its parent, and every parent of that parent commit, transitively. So the parent happened before mine. Meanwhile, you might commit to a different branch. Whether my commit happened before yours is irrelevant. The merge commit brings them together; both my commit and yours happen before the merge commit, and after the parent commit. There's no need for a total ordering here. The graph expresses that.
This is a causal ordering. It doesn't care so much about clock time. It cares what commits I worked from when I made mine. I knew about the parent commit, I started from there, so it's causal. Whatever you were doing on your branch, I didn't know about it, it wasn't causal, so there is no "before" or "after" relationship to yours and mine.
We can see the causal ordering clearly, because git tracks it: each commit knows its parents. The cause of each commit is part of the data in the commit.
Back to our retail example. If we record each event along with the events that caused it, then we can make a graph with enough of a causal ordering.
There are two reasons we want an ordering here: external consistency and internal legibility.
External ConsistencyExternal consistency means that Justyna's experience remains true. Some events are messages from our software system to Justyna (the price is $), and others are messages coming in (Confirm Purchase, Cancel Purchase). The sequence of these external interactions constrains any event ordering we choose. Messages crossing the system boundary must remain valid.
Here's a more constricting example of external consistency: when someone runs a report and sees a list of transactions for the day, that's an external message. That message is caused by all the transactions reported in it. If another transaction comes in late, it must be reported later as an amendment to that original report -- whereas, if no one had run the report for that day yet, it could be lumped in with the other ones. No one needs to know that it was slow, if no one had looked.
Have you ever run a report, sent the results up the chain, and then had the central office accuse you of fudging the numbers because they run the same report (weeks later) and see different totals? This happens in some organizations, and it's a violation of external consistency.
Internal LegibilityOther causal events are internal messages: we displayed this price because the pricing system sent us a particular message. The value of retaining causal information here is troubleshooting, and figuring out how our system works.
I'm using the word "legibility"[1] in the sense of "understandability:" as a person we have visibility into the system's workings, we can follow along with what it's doing. Distinguish its features, locate problems and change it.
If Justyna's purchase event is caused by a ship date decision, and the ship date decision ("today") tracked its causes ("the inventory system says we have one, with more arriving today"), then we can construct a causal ordering of events. If Edith's purchase event tracked a ship date decision ("today") which tracked its causes ("the inventory system says we have zero, with more arriving today"), then we can track a problem to its source. If in reality we only send one today, then it looks like the inventory system's shipment forecasts were inaccurate.
How would we even track all this?The global solution to causal ordering is: for every message sent by a component in the system, record every message received before that. Causality at a point-in-time-at-a-point-in-space is limited to information received before that point in time, at that point in space. We can pass this causal chain along with the message.
"Every message received" is a lot of messages. Before Justyna confirmed that purchase, the client component received oodles of messages, from search results, from the catalog, from the ad optimizer, from the review system, from the similar-purchases system, from the categorizer, many more. The client received and displayed information about all kinds of items Justyna did not purchase. Generically saying "this happened before, therefore it can be causal, so we must record it ALL" is prohibitive.
This is where business logic comes in. We know which of these are definitely causal. Let's pass only those along with the message.
There are others that might be causal. The ad optimizer team probably does want to know which ads Justyna saw before her purchase. We can choose whether to include that with the purchase message, or to reconstruct an approximate timeline afterward based on clocks in the client or in the components that persist these events. For something as aggregated as ad optimization, approximate is probably good enough. This is a business tradeoff between accuracy and decoupling.
Transitive causalityHow deep is the causal chain passed along with a message?
We would like to track backward along this chain. When we don't like the result of Justyna and Edith's purchase fulfillment, we trace it back. Why did the inventory system said the ship date would be today in both cases. This decision is an event, with causes of "The current inventory is 1" and "Normal turnover for this item is less than 1 per day"; or "The current inventory is 0" and "a shipment is expected today" and "these shipments usually arrive in time to be picked the same day." From there we can ask whether the decision was valid, and trace further to learn whether each of these inputs was correct.
If every message comes with its causal events, then all of this data is part of the "Estimated ship date today" sent from the inventory system to the client. Then the client packs all of that into its "Justyna confirmed this purchase" event. Even with slimmed-down, business-logic-aware causal listings, messages get big fast.
Alternately, the inventory system could record its decision, and pass a key with the message to the client, and then the client only needs to retain that key. Recording every decision means a bunch of persistent storage, but it doesn't need to be fast-access. It'd be there for troubleshooting, and for aggregate analysis of system performance. Recording decisions along with the information available at the time lets us evaluate those decisions later, when outcomes are known.
IncrementalnessA system component that chooses to retain causality in its events has two options: repeat causal inputs in the messages it sends outward; or record the causal inputs and pass a key in the messages it sends outward.
Not every system component has to participate. This is an idea that can be rolled out gradually. The client can include in the purchase event as much as its knows: the messages it received, decisions it made, and relevant messages sent outward before this incoming "Confirm Purchase" message was received from Justyna. That's useful by itself, even when the inventory system isn't yet retaining its causalities.
Or the inventory system could record its decisions, the code version that made them, and the inputs that contributed to them, even though the client doesn't retain the key it sends in the message. It isn't as easy to find the decision of interest without the key, but it could still be possible. And some aggregate decision evaluation can still happen. Then as other system components move toward the same architecture, more benefits are realized.
Conscious Causal OrderingThe benefits of a single, linear ordering of events are consistency, legibility, and visibility into what might be causal. A nonlinear causal ordering gives us more flexibility, consistency, a more accurate but less simplified legibility, and clearer visibility into what might be causal. Constructing causal ordering at the generic level of "all messages received cause all future messages sent" is expensive and also less meaningful than a business-logic-aware, conscious causal ordering. This conscious causal ordering gives us external consistency, accurate legibility, and visibility into what we know to be causal.
At the same time, we can have provenance for data displayed to the users or recorded in our databases. We can know why each piece of information is there, and we can figure out what went wrong, and we can trace all the data impacted by an incorrect past event.
I think this is something we could do, it's within our ability today. I haven't seen a system that does it, yet. Is it because we don't care enough -- that we're willing to say "yeah, I don't know why it did that, can't reproduce, won't fix"? Is it because we've never had it before -- if we once worked in a system with this kind of traceability, would we refuse to ever go back?
[1] This concept of "legibility" comes from the book Seeing Like a State.

Snow Storm Benedict Hits Newtown, CT This moring we woke up to snow - lots of snow! Snow Storm Benedict hit Newtown, CT overnight and snowed for most of the morning. Benedict was a Nor'Easter which is a special type of storm that hits the states along the Atlantic Seaboard. The original forecast for snow accumulations was 12" to 18" of snow - Newtown got a grand total of 27" to 29" depending on the news source. Benedict is one of the largest storms to ever hit Newtown.
Here are some photos of what Snow Storm Benedict left behind (the first photo was taken around 7am):
Snow Storm Benedict left behind a ton of snow in Newtown, CT and we're sure that he will not be forgotten anytime soon.

Australians love a holiday road trip. More than 900,000 kilometres of roads and highways take us through spectacular coastal scenery, beautiful mountains and endless plains. If you've got the travel bug, here's our list of road trips to fill your summer with new adventures.
1. Savannah Way
An epic highway that traverses Australia's tropical north, Savannah Way links Cairns in the east to the west coast city of Broome. The 3700km long road travels through 15 national parks, five World Heritage areas, two states and one territory, passing by magnificent gorges, world class fishing spots and historic pioneer towns.
2. Huon Trail
The Huon Trail, south of Hobart, is heaven for food lovers. Feast on Huon Valley apples, berries and wine, and the seafood bounty of the D'Entrecasteaux channel and Bruny Island. The road winds through some of Tasmania's most scenic wilderness, finishing at the tiny settlement of Cockle Creek, the most southerly point it is possible to drive in Australia.
3. Rainforest Way
There are plenty of opportunities to commune with nature while exploring the Rainforest Way's 650 kilometre network of scenic drives through the verdant hinterland of the Tweed area, straddling the New South Wales and Queensland border. At the region's heart is Mt Warning, all of which remains of the ancient Tweed Volcano, which last erupted 23 million years ago.
4. Flinders Ranges
Flinders Ranges, stretching roughly from Port Pirie to Lake Callabonna in South Australia, offers a glimpse of the origins of our ancient island. Take a driving tour through the ancient range to see spectacularly rugged geological formations that have eroded over 540 million years. Be sure to visit Wilpena Pound, a natural amphitheatre almost 100 kilometres across boasting some of South Australia's best hiking, four wheel driving, and Aboriginal rock art sites.
5. Cape to Cape
The 110km drive from Cape Leeuwin to Cape Naturaliste in south-west Western Australia travels through the Margaret River region, offering a captivating mix of surf culture and wine, with a little history thrown in. Visit the historic lighthouses at both capes, spend a night among the vineyards, and be mesmerised by the magic of giant karri forests along the way.
6. Kosciuszko Alpine Way
Joining Jindabyne and Khancoban, Kosciusko Alpine Way travels through some of Australia's most spectacular scenery, from mountain peaks to silver snow gums to alpine lakes. There is plenty to do too: lovers of the outdoors can choose between trout fishing, bushwalking and water sports, while in winter the area is busy with people visiting nearby ski fields.
7. Great Ocean Road
When discussing Australia's best driving routes, it's hard to beat the Great Ocean Road; 250km of winding bitumen that hugs Victoria's rugged southern coastline. The heritage-listed road, stretching between Torquay and Allansford near Warrnambool, was built by returned soldiers between 1919 and 1932, and is a dedicated war memorial. Highlights include famous surf spot Bell's Beach at its eastern end and in the west, the Twelve Apostles, eight limestone stacks that rise up dramatically out of the harsh Southern Ocean.

(Read a recent interview with Sheree here)
Sheree Miranda Mitchell is the founder and president of Immersa Global, the experiential travel company that offers unique cultural immersion and exclusive wine tourism experiences for adults. Her love for globetrotting, good food and wine has taken her to 40 countries and has inspired her to become either fluent or functional in four languages. (Find shorter biography here)
Sheree has had a lifelong love affair with international travel. At the young age of 15, she departed on her first solo trip abroad to Mexico and never looked back. As a young adult, she spent many summers studying Spanish while living with local families in Costa Rica. Years later, in grad school, she designed and executed study abroad programs for fellow students. What started as a professional challenge opened the door to her biggest passion: creating and directing immersive travel experiences for others.
At the age of 24, upon completion of her master's degree in Spanish Literature and Second Language Acquisition, Sheree started her career as a world language educator at a college preparatory in Miami, Florida. Within her first year of teaching, she was creating and directing study abroad programs in Costa Rica and Spain which then led to her first bilateral academic exchange program between Miami and Aix--en-Provence, France.
Eight years later, in search of new professional challenges, Sheree transitioned from education to the private sector where she was recruited to restructure and enhance a successful surgery center in South Florida. The experience that she gained and the network of global contacts that she made were invaluable.
Years later, with a strong desire to get off "the grid", Sheree resigned from her position and embarked on an ambitious five continent, 14-month solo sojourn around the globe. A few months after her return, Immersa Global was born.
Now as the creative brain behind Immersa Global, Sheree spends over half the year visiting different programs sites abroad, networking with international colleagues and laying the groundwork for new immersion experiences.
What does Sheree do in her free time? You can find her exploring new places, enjoying wine with friends around the world, or dancing in the streets of Cuba!
Contact Sheree to say "hi" or meet up with her on a current or future trip at email@example.com

Korean Companies To Benefit by Trade Deal with India
Import duties on 85 percent of Korean goods, including auto parts and electronics, will be cut or phased out over the next decade, Korea's Trade Ministry said today. Indian Commerce Minister Anand Sharma and his Korean counterpart Kim Jong Hoon will sign the agreement in Seoul, said Choi Kyong Lim, the official overseeing trade agreements, said today in Seoul.
Hyundai Motor Co., LG Electronics Inc. and other South Korean companies will get greater access to India's 1.2 billion people in a trade deal to be signed tomorrow. India's $1.2 trillion economy grew 5.8 percent in the three months to March 31, brushing off the global slowdown that has dragged Korea into recession. Singapore's exports to India excluding oil products more than doubled in the two years after they signed a similar accord in 2005, turning the city state's deficit to a surplus, according to Indian Commerce Ministry data. "South Korea is looking to expand its presence in India with its vibrant economy and 1.2 billion population," said Myong Jin Ho, a researcher at the Institute for International Trade in Seoul. Bilateral trade between India and South Korea rose 39 percent last year to $15.6 billion. South Korea exported $3.6 billion of goods to India, and imported $1.6 billion in the first six months of this year. India's growth puts more money into the hands of consumers in a country where almost 30 percent of the population is under 15 years of age. Younger people tend to spend more on vehicles, phones and other consumer goods. Car Demand India will eliminate or reduce tariffs on 85 percent of South Korean exports over 10 years, Korea's Trade Ministry said. These will include auto parts, tankers, electronic goods, machinery parts and synthetic rubber. South Korea's cuts will cover about 90 percent of Indian exports, including polycarbonates, leather, industrial diamonds, gasoline and corn for livestock. Hyundai, which operates an auto plant near Chennai in southeastern India, sold 244,030 vehicles in the country in the year ended March 31. The largest South Korean automaker gets 55 percent of sales from emerging markets including India and China, where car demand has withstood the global slowdown. LG Electronics, the world's third-largest maker of liquid- crystal-display televisions, also has plants in India to make consumer appliances and personal computer monitors. The two nations decided to exclude other agricultural goods, finished automobiles, fisheries and textiles from the deal. The Korean law implementing the pact is expected to take effect on Jan. 1, Choi said. Once the cuts begin, Korea's exports to India will likely increase by an annual average of $177 million and India's exports to Korea $37 million over the next 10 years, according to Korea Institute for Industrial Economics & Trade. Conservative "Those forecasts may be conservative, given India's potential," said Myong. The two nations will also expand job opportunities for skilled personnel from India in the field of information technology, engineering, management consulting, machinery and telecommunications, and scientific research, the ministry said. It didn't specify any quotas on the number of Indian nationals expected to take up jobs in Korea in the future. India has also opened up its market to investment in all its industries with the exception of agriculture, fisheries and mining. South Korea will be able to invest in food processing, textiles, garments, chemicals, metals and machinery, it said. The following is a table of the top 10 traded goods for South Korea and India, according to the Korean Trade Ministry.read source article

Indian Shares Rise 1.6% with Signs of Economic Recovery
Indian shares rose 1.6 percent on Monday, July 20 as reports of positive corporate earnings "from across the world" convinced many that the global economy is actually recovering.
Several factors, including strong global and local liquidity, a recovery in earnings growth and strong corporate balance sheets, will spur the market over the next 12 months, Morgan Stanley analyst Ridham Desai said. He added, "Indian equities are in a sweet spot. We would continue to buy the dips in the market". A few of the biggest companies in India, Reliance Industries, Tata Consultancy Services Ltd and Infosys Technologies rose, gained 3.1 percent, 11.9 percent and 4.5 percent, respectively. Signs of economic recovery are whetting investor's appetite for riskier assets, with "record low global interest rates and trillions of dollars of stimulus spending helping the world recover" from the deep recession.read source article
Indian Gov Stimulus helped Revive Industrial Production in 2.7%
"Industrial activity in India will gain more traction as the favorable effect of lower bank lending rates and a continuing fiscal boost offsets a still-weak export sector," said Rajeev Malik, a regional economist at Macquarie Group Ltd. in Singapore. The rise in output "pretty much destroys the probability of further rate cuts."
India's industrial production increased at the fastest pace in eight months as record-low interest rates and government stimulus measures helped revive demand and investment. Output at factories, utilities and mines jumped 2.7 percent in May from a year earlier after a revised 1.2 percent gain in April, the statistics agency said in New Delhi today. That was more than double the 1.3 percent increase expected by economists. Economies across Asia are starting to show signs of recovery from the worst global recession since the Great Depression, prompting policy makers to stop lowering interest rates. The World Bank last month said India may overtake China next year as the world's fastest-growing major economy.read source article
India to Borrow $ 93 billion to Fund Buget
India's Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee announced plans to borrow a record 4.51 trillion rupees ($93 billion) to fund budget spending on roads, power and aid for the poor. Stocks, bonds and the currency slumped. Unveiling the budget for the year to March 2010, Mukherjee said India's fiscal deficit is expected to widen to a 16-year high of 6.8 percent of gross domestic product from a revised 6 percent. Indirect taxes will be streamlined through a goods and services tax, he said in his speech in New Delhi today.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's government is spending more to speed up economic growth and reduce poverty in a nation where malnutrition is worse than Sub-Saharan Africa. Stocks and the currency weakened on investor disappointment that Mukherjee didn't announce major asset sales and concerns a ballooning budget deficit may lead to a credit-rating cut. "The budget has failed to instill confidence as to how the government will achieve fiscal consolidation," said Rupa Rege Nitsure, chief economist at state-owned Bank of Baroda in Mumbai. "With this kind of a deficit, there is a possibility that India's rating may be downgraded." The Bombay Stock Exchange's Sensitive Index fell the most in six months, declining 5.8 percent to 14,043.40 at the 3:30 p.m. close in Mumbai. The rupee weakened 1.3 percent, the most in almost six weeks, to 48.5375 against the dollar. The yield on the most-traded 6.07 percent note due May 2014 surged 22 basis points, the most since March 17, to 6.45 percent.read source article
Good News for India's Economy
As reported by the finance ministry, Indian economic growth is predicted to spur as much as 7.75 percent in 2009. Two of the most important reasons are the improving U.S economy in second quarter reports and the recent successful harvests from the monsoon rains.
India's exports fell for the eighth consecutive month in May 2009, while industrial output increased 1.4 percent in April 2009. The economy expanded 6.7 percent, which is the most sluggish pace in the past six years, since 2003, where the economy expanded between 8.5 percent and 9 percent. Among India's many strengths is the country's large service sector, which contributes about 55 percent of India's GDP. Furthermore, the government's rural jobs program, which guarantees 100 days of work in a year for the poor has kept "rural income and consumption strong," according to the finance ministry. With income, consumption, growth, output and a strong service sector, India's economy "has shock absorbers" that will ensure the country's economic revival.read source article
Indian Stocks Increased 49% This Year
The rally this year has helped India post the fifth-best performance among the 89 markets tracked by Bloomberg News globally. Valuations have also climbed, with the Sensex now valued at 16 times reported earnings, double November's low of 8.1 times. "The relative outperformance and the strong move in the market post the elections have now priced in improving economic fundamentals," the analysts wrote in the report. "The upcoming budget next month will be very important for the overall direction of the market." The Sensex advanced 1.7 percent to 14,590.18, the highest in more than a week, as of 1:23 p.m. in Mumbai.
India's Sensex gained 49 percent advance this year and further gains depend on government policies to boost economic growth and pare a budget deficit, Nomura Holdings Inc. said. The benchmark Bombay Stock Exchange Sensitive Index may rise to 16,400 in the next 12 months, a "muted" 14 percent gain from yesterday's close, Nomura analysts led by Prabhat Awasthi said in a report today. Investors should own a mix of so-called defensive and domestic cyclical shares, they added.read source article
India and Deflation
There are numerous reasons for deflation to occur. It can be caused by a decrease in the supply of money or credit or by a decrease in government and consumer spending. Side effects that accompany deflation are increased unemployment, due to lower levels of demand in the economy and dwindling profits. This could further increase the severity of a recession.

In India, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry has reported that "wholesale prices fell 1.61% in the year to June, compared with a rise of 0.13% the previous week" Analysts said that prices would continue falling for the next fourth months, now that lower food prices have pulled the index down. An economist at Nomura, Sonal Verma, predicts that the country will "have negative numbers at least till September, primarily because inflation had picked up very sharply during this period last year." Figures show that inflation rose up to 12.9% in August 2008 but has been decreasing since then.read source article
Indian Economy Shows Signs of Recovery
India's industrial output increased 1.4% from April 2008. An economist at HSBC, Robert Prior-Wandesforde said, "[Indian] output growth almost certainly bottomed on a year-on-year basis in March and we are looking for a healthy upward trend to develop from here."

An economist at HSBC, Robert Prior-Wandesforde said, "[Indian] output growth almost certainly bottomed on a year-on-year basis in March and we are looking for a healthy upward trend to develop from here."

Welfare programs and higher investment in sectors such as infrastructure will be pursued as well.

Families below the poverty line will be given 25kg of rice or wheat every month at 3 rupees a kilo.read source article
India grew more than expected
For the 2008/09 fiscal year to March 31, India's economy grew 6.7 percent, its weakest in six years and sharply slower than rates of 9 percent or higher in the previous three years. "A main reason (for the slowdown) was financing drying up as a result of the global crisis," said Malik. "The revival in capital markets automatically means one of the negatives crippling investment is addressed." Growth was seen at around six percent in the first half and closer to seven percent in the second. Next year, economists expect growth of eight percent. The economy still has "significant pent-up demand for investment, especially in infrastructure and in affordable housing," said Goldman Sachs economist Tushar Poddar. The numbers gave cheer to the Congress-led government, which swept back to power earlier this month on a poverty alleviation platform. Its strong mandate is seen as a positive for investors, spelling political stability. Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee has said the government will make increasing growth its top priority to help India's "common man" -- even at the risk of ballooning an already large fiscal deficit.
The rise in expenditure on the election campaign may have boosted India's March quarter performance but downside effects from the external turmoil have been far too strong to be fully offset by the jump in political spending, the note said. "The impressive victory of the Congress party foreshadows economic reforms, which may help to strengthen the Indian economy," said Sherman Chan, economist at Moody's Economy.com.read source article
India 10-Year Bond Yield at Six-Week Low. RBI Plans to Buy Debt
April 22 (Bloomberg) -- India's 10-year bonds advanced for a sixth day, the longest winning streak in four months, after the central bank said it will buy existing debt. Benchmark yields were at the lowest in six weeks after the Reserve Bank of India said it will purchase 60 billion rupees ($1.2 billion) of securities in open-market operations tomorrow. The central bank's decision to cut interest rates yesterday may help the government reduce borrowing costs as it plans record debt sales in the fiscal year that started April 1. Bonds erased the day's gains after the drop in yields deterred investors before a debt sale on April 24.

Wouldn't you know … as soon as I say I'm going to do something like a series of Women's History Month posts, something gets in the way (like a late-winter head cold and various obligations to volunteer organizations), and then I don't do it. Apologies to my readers.
I would still like to write a few posts related to living female scientists, though, even if they're just "Women's History" and not "Women's History Month." Watch for them soon.
In the meantime, if you're an OSA member, please check out my latest feature article for OPN. I'll add a PDF of it to my personal online library in a few weeks.

"The Theology of the Tea Party" (by Jim Wallis, November 2010) reminded me that when I was at Union Seminary, Reinhold Niebuhr said that the greatest flaw of the communist system was ignoring what Christians acknowledge as human sin. It is ironic that free-will devotees of "The Market" make the same essential mistake. The economic tragedy was the foreseeable consequence of avaricious economic policies and decisions. Libertarian-leaning Republicans, and some Democrats, fail to take seriously human sin, surrendering themselves to the Baal whose icon is the dollar sign.
