November 29, 2007: Again to Carthage
The sequel to Once a Runner is finally out! It's called Again to Carthage by John Parker. It's already in high demand (our warehouses ran out right away but have them back in now and Amazons warehouses are currently out) so get your copy now! I ordered a bunch and made it my Staff Recommendation, so if you head on up to Barnes and Noble, you'll find a copy with the Staff Recs. I'm hoping thatsomeone will see how popular the sequel is and thus reprint Once a Runner but we'll see how that goes.
November 29, 2007: Gobble Gallop
I ran my first every Turkey Trot this year! I was really excited about it - I've always wanted to do one but the places I go for Thanksgiving don't have Thanksgiving races. So sad. So this year, my husband and I hosted for our families in our new house which meant - Gobble Gallop!
I got up early so we could get the turkey stuff started and my husband stayed at home to get it in the oven. Parking was surprisingly easy considering how much later I arrived then I usually do for a race, so that was nice. It was rather cold - weather.com told me 9 feels like -2 when I was heading out the door - I'm not sure what it was at the start. I headed across the street and joined what I hoped was the line to pick up my packet. Br. My poor feet were frozen toe-sicles by the time I made it to the front though the lines moved fairly quickly. Next stop was to pick up my chip (the around the ankle kind, which I'd never done before) and then back to the jeep to drop it all off.
Time to head out for a warm-up and see what the weather felt like. Conclusion? Br! My toe-sicles didn't warm up at all (despite the fact that my body doesn't get cold overall easily, my feet get cold super easy). The race started about 15 minutes late, but that was so that everyone could get registered and it was announced well so it was all good, though lots of people hung out at the start line for a long time anyway. I did a combination of running around to stay semi-warmed up and going back to the jeep to be out of the wind until the start. I ended up racing in light clothes (just a light long sleeve and my racing jersey on top and tights/shorts on bottom) and it worked out just fine - I would have definitely been too hot in my running jacket. My toes did warm up during the race, so that was quite good and I was thankful for my sock gloves, though surprised to not need to take them off at all.
The start was crazy fast, though it didn't really feel it, but I came through the first mile (all downhill) at 6:18. I was a bit torn about how hard to race this - I hadn't really trained seriously for it, but I had been running consistently. I ended up picking an in-between - I didn't race super hard but I wasn't running all in comfort zone, either.
It was an out and back course which can be fun sometimes since you can see everyone on the course. I saw a good handful of people I knew and who knew me, which makes it even more fun. The course was nice - crazy simple (down one road, back the same road, one turn at the end), no traffic, and happily not slippery at all (it was all on brick which can get crazy slippery if wet). I finished in 20:48 - 9th woman overall and 2nd in my age group.
So overall, this was a pretty great race and I will definitely be there next year (assuming that I'm hosting Thanksgiving again). I can't rave enough about the shirts, either! I love them! They ran a bit big but otherwise they are great - a very nice, simple, bold design on the front with a great, unusual race shirt color. The ads were done the best I have ever seen on a race shirt - there was a map of the course on the back and all of the sponsors were along the course so each one got a sign showing where they were. Very tasteful and a great idea. There were also neat little things that made a big difference - heat in the tents, hot chocolate after the race, a DRC coupon with your name on it and lots of different length races to go with the 5K.
November 18, 2007: Last Call
November 8, 2007: Fall Trail Series Shirts!!
Hey my fellow runners - do you know what your life has been missing? A shirt proclaiming your love of the Fall Trail Series, that's what!
Jarrow has agreed to get some shirts made if there's enough interest so here's the scoop:
~ Long-sleeved cotton t-shirts - dark blue with white writing
~ "Northern Minnesota Track Club" and Austin-Jarrow logo on the front, 2007 race schedule on the back
We need 24 people to make them worth making. If less than 48 people order, the shirts will be $14.75 and if more than 48 order it'll be $11.50.
Sound awesome? Here's what you do - let me know you want one and what size you want it. You can email me at samantha.mf.carlson (at) gmail.com. We don't need to worry about payment until they're all ordered up, I believe. Deadline is Sunday, November 18 - my birthday!
November 2, 2007: Running Weekend
So many exciting running events this weekend!
First off is tomorrow early morning - the men's marathon Olympic trials in Central Park. All the info you could ever want is at Runner's World. You can also watch free live streaming video from NBC sports starting at the lovely hour of 6:35 am tomorrow. My current plan is to catch some of it - I don't think I'll be getting up at 6:30 but probably by 7:30. There's a decent amount of serious contenders this year, so it should be an exciting race.
Second is also tomorrow - my high school (the girls, anyway) made it back to State! We peaked there my Senior year and they made it back the next year, but it's been 5 years since they made it back in. They race tomorrow at 10 and I'm sad I can't go down and cheer for them (I'm deer hunting this year for the first time in a looooooong time and since I have to go to the last trail race on Sunday, I don't want to be taking 4 fours off in a row this time of year . . . I'm sure you were all very interested in knowing all of that, too). It sounds like they're a good, close team this year so I'm hoping they do well and it looks as though they're hoping for a top 8 finish. They have one girl who made it down on her own last year, so there's some State experience in there that should help. I know it's really overwhelming no matter how many times you head down. They have a new coach since I ran, too, and this is his first time brining a team down to State. Go Rapids, go! Also - is it wrong for me to take some glee in East not making it down for the first time in 16 years? I was on the team that broke their 160-something wins in a row so that might have something to do with it - they were always our running rivals.
Sunday is, of course, the last trail race of the year! The Pine Valley ski trails in Cloquet. Not that I have any idea of where that's at yet . . . So, everyone come and have some fun!
Oh, Sunday is also the New York City Marathon. So there's that too . . . :)

3D TVs
The EyeFly 3D screen protector film, brought to consumers by Nanovue, promises to turn regular screens in mobile devices into glasses-free 3D displays. The product, originally nano-engineered by the Temasek Polytechnic (TP) and A*STAR's Institute of Materials Research and Engineering's (IMRE) in Singapore, is not the first of its kind of the market, but Nanovue claims it offers considerable advantages over competitors. The film has no perceivable influence on screen brightness, works both in portrait and landscape mode and, most importantly, does not distort regular 2D images. Read More
The 2013 Philips DesignLine puts a new slant on HDTV
When it comes to HDTV placement, you've generally faced with two options – a stand for sitting the TV in an entertainment unit or on a table, or a wall mount. With its 2013 Philips DesignLine, TP Vision is offering a third option – simply leaning the TV against a wall. When it comes to a modern minimalist look, the new DesignLine TV takes the cake, with no visible frame or stand, it looks like nothing more than a square sheet of glass. Read More
Sony has filed a US patent for 3D glasses that can be used with any 3D TV set. The glasses use a variety of downloadable software and interchangeable modules that hold out the promise of cheaper 3D glasses that aren't tied to a single receiver model. Read More
Despite the rise and rise of the LED flat screen TV, the humble Plasma is still a favored choice for home movie fans and color reproduction devotees – often with good reason. Panasonic's 2013 offerings in this space are headed-up by the flagship ZT60 series, which the company put to task in a completely blacked-out booth alongside its predecessors at the Consumer Electronics Show. Read More
I was lucky enough to sample firsthand the incredible viewing experience offered by big screen OLED TVs at the IFA 2012 booth of consumer electronics giants LG and Samsung last year. Both companies have new models scheduled for commercial availability in early 2013 and both, it would appear, are claiming a world first at CES in Las Vegas this week ... each claiming to be first to debut a curved OLED TV.

As we recently heard, Hisense is showing off a glasses-free 3D TV at CES 2013. It turns out, however, that the Chinese electronics manufacturer has another interesting 3D TV on display at the show – it's one that you can see through. Read More
In addition to a 110" Ultra-HD LED TV, Hisense also revealed its latest take on glasses-free 3D technology at CES with the GF60XT980 television concept. The new 60-inch TV uses an Ultra High Definition (UHD) panel to provide a clear, 3D picture from almost any angle, so multiple viewers can enjoy the 3D effect without needing multiple pairs of glasses. Read More
China's Hisense arrived at CES 2013 with a brand new line of Ultra-LED (U-LED) XT900 televisions, which will be available in 65-, 84-, and 110-inch sizes. The company's XT900 line boasts an impressive 3,840 x 2,160 pixel resolution along with 120 Hz panels allowing for an active shutter 3D picture. The U-LED screen also incorporates local dimming technology to deliver a more dynamic contrast ratio. Read More
LG's 3D smart TVs to include even more popular gaming apps
Families will have even more games to play on their LG CINEMA 3D Smart TV, which LG will be demonstrating at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2013). The new additions follow the company's launch of gaming apps in July. Some of the games will take advantage of its 3D capabilities with a Dual Play feature that gives two players their own full-screen view of the action, unlike traditional split-screen modes. The games are played with the company's new motion-sensing Magic Remote. Read More

An air-quality analysis at Cheakamus Crossing has shown pollution levels near a controversial asphalt plant have remained far below limits set by the Ministry of Environment. But despite the good news the RMOW will not reverse its wish to see the plant relocated farther from residential areas.
�We continue to be interested in seeing the plant relocated out of the neighbourhood � there�s no question about that,� said Whistler Mayor Nancy Wilhelm-Morden. �It�s incompatible to have a heavy industrial use immediately adjacent to a neighbourhood.�
The current asphalt procurement policy at municipal hall stipulates that all asphalt used for municipal purposes must be made three kilometres away from a residential neighbourhood. Council made that rule in 2012 after other attempts to move the plan failed, and began purchasing asphalt for a higher price from Squamish.
The RMOW installed the air-quality monitoring station in September of 2010 to address neighbourhood concerns over potential pollution drifting from Alpine Paving a few hundred metres away. The device measured for particulates 2.5 microns and smaller, which the reports authors, Levelton Consultants, said rarely occur naturally but often result from combustion, as would occur at an asphalt plant.
The report shows average pollution levels in the past two years peaked at only 67.5 per cent of allowable levels, or 5.4 ug/m3 out of an allowable 8.0.
The asphalt plant had been operating at its current site for 20 years when the 2010 Olympic athletes� village was built in the area, and later sold off as residential properties in the new neighbourhood of Cheamus Crossing.
A stipulation in the buyers� disclosure documents identified the presence of the asphalt plant, but Wilhelm-Morden said she believes buyers were told by the municipal staff of the time they were in discussion with the plant owners to relocate it.
�The people who bought into the neighbourhood were under the impression that � it would be moved,� she said.
Since then, homeowners have complained of the plant�s noise, odours and smoke, for which the air quality survey was ordered due to health concerns.
The plant�s owner, Frank Silveri, said in the past the smoke at issue is actually steam, but last year he installed a new $2 million system to reduce emissions. He could not be reached for comment.
The Ministry of Environment established two Ambient Air Quality Objectives (AAQO) by which communities can gauge the level of air pollution in their area. On a 24-hour basis it calls for no more than 25 ug/m3 per day. Cheakamus Crossing registered on average just 10 ug/m3 in 2011 and 12.9 in 2012. On the scale of annual averages, for the same years, 5 and 5.4 ug/m3 were registered respectfully, well below the limit of 8.0 ug/m3.
The ministry believes spikes in 2012 were due to smoke and haze caused by wildfires in Asia.

One mouth, two ears; use proportionately.
"Plastics" was the one-word career advice a meddling family friend uttered to aimless Benjamin (Dustin Hoffman) in the 1967 film The Graduate. If the picture were being made today, that terse advice might well be changed to two words: "Public Service."
The incredible opportunity that awaits those who go into government work is hard to comprehend. Whether you are looking at city, county, state or federal agencies, the number of public service employees about to retire is staggering.
*Forty-four percent of all federal workers become eligible to retire in the next four years, according to the Partnership for Public Service. In nine years, eligibility reaches 60 percent of the federal workforce. One stunning fact: 87 percent of claims assistants and examiners at the Social Security Administration will reach retirement eligibility by 2010. *The California Performance Review, an independent panel of government and economic experts, warns that the state faces "a human capital crisis" because in the next four years, the state will lose 34 percent of its current workforce. Some warn that number could climb to 49 percent. *California counties and cities face a similar talent drain. The gap, according to Palo Alto City Manager Frank Benest, is particularly pronounced in the "professional and managerial ranks where fewer entry- and mid-level employees are available to step up and lead public organizations into the future." *Currently, more than 25,000 California public employees who are covered by CalPERS (Public Employee Retirement System) are retiring each year. Almost 15,000 (and climbing) public school teachers are retiring annually.
"Numerous reports have been written about the impending human capital crisis that will affect the nation's workforce in the next several years," the California Performance Review continues. "The crisis stems from the wave of retirements expected as the baby-boom generation reaches retirement age. By one estimate, there are more than 70 million baby boomers in the workforce versus about 40 million in the generation following them."
City manager Benest put it in more melodramatic terms in a past issue of Western City Magazine, a publication targeted to management-level city workers. "Stop and listen. Do you hear the silence. It's the sound of nobody following in your footsteps."
All of this doom and gloom for bureaucrats adds up to hope and promise for jobseekers. With each passing day, your odds of being able to land a good government job are increasing. Expect to see new and more aggressive recruiting campaigns as government agencies scramble to find adequate staffing.
There is another option as well. Some agencies may outsource their work, but there is a limit to how much government work can be handled by private contractors. At any rate, those private contractors will also be hard pressed to hire enough help.
Part of the problem is more than just demographics. Many concede that the generations coming up may not be interested in government work, since a public-service career holds little appeal. "Government work is now seen as bureaucratic, mind-numbing and generally second-rate," confesses Benest. "Our best and brightest have not been encouraged to select public service as a career." He offers a blueprint for government to address the problem, which calls on leaders to: Stop bashing government. "Why would any young person aspire to a public-service career when they perceive that the public's work is oftentimes hurtful and ugly." Reach out to students. Benest notes that surveys have found that students often don't consider a public-service career because no one asks them. "Elected and appointed officials need to reach out to both high school and university students to discuss the nature of local government, careers in local government, and the rewards of public service. Promote those rewards. Officials need to show that government work does make a difference, just as much as the nonprofit sector, which remains a more popular career choice.
Others emphasize the satisfaction of public service as well. Steven Keil, legislative coordinator for the California State Association of Counties, first started in a government work in 1969. He is passionate about public service: "You are doing work that matters to people – public health, welfare, child protective services, etc. – things that make life better for people."
Keil points out that county work "is also career work that often requires a high percentage of technical and professional credentials. They (the positions) also offer solid promotional opportunity, reliable pay, and good job security."
"There is truly a sense of satisfaction in public service," writes veteran federal employee Kevin Wilkinson, who encouraged young jobseekers to pursue government employment in an article in the Free Lance Star in Fredericksburg, VA.
"Besides financial and other career benefit factors, there is truly a sense of satisfaction in public service," he wrote. "So what I'm trying to say to all Generation Xers or Yers (pick your catchphrase) is that now is your time to step up to the plate. As we baby boomers embrace our earned retirements, it is your turn to seriously consider working for America."
Of course, the most compelling facts are the numbers. Wilkinson points out that, in addition to retirements, the Partnership for Public Service anticipates that "more than 200,000 federal workers will resign over the next five years. All in all, the federal workforce could see almost 900,000 vacancies in a very short period of time.
So much for plastics.

UPMC's tax-exempt status faces challenge
Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl announced today that the city would challenge the tax exempt status of regional medical giant UPMC, a court battle that he likened to "the David versus the Goliath." "They're not a charity," the mayor said at a press conference today. "They haven't been operating as a charity and it's time that this community step up in that regard. The reality of the situation is the taxpayers ... are currently subsidizing UPMC's non-profit status." The mayor said he was emboldened to make the challenge by a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision last year that reaffirmed tax-exempt organizations must meet five criteria outlined in a previous court case, including one that requires them to operate without profit motive.

2011 College Football Bowl Pick'Em: Week 2
Here's the bowl loot Boston College missed out on ...
Previewing Saturday's ACC football matchup between the Boston College Eagles and the N.C. State Wolfpack.
Predicting how the ACC will shake out in 2011. Both Jeff and Brian have Florida State and Virginia Tech in this year's ACC Championship Game, but only one has the Seminoles taking this year's conference title.
As is par for the course for ACC bowl tie-ins, the Military Bowl will be played on December 28 this year. Kickoff at 4:30 PM on ESPN. The Military Bowl completes a six-day, ACC bowl extravaganza that begins with the December 26 Independence Bowl and ends with a New Year's Eve doubleheader of the Sun Bowl (2 PM) and Peach Bowl (7:30 PM). Joy.
The 2011-12 ACC bowl lineup is nearly set, with seven of the conference's nine bowl dates and times set.
The 2011 Independence Bowl folks announced the date for this year's college football bowl game in Shreveport, Louisiana. The game will fall on December 26, a holiday.
Why the 1997 Independence Bowl? Plenty of reasons: 1. It's from the Poulan/Weedeater era, the gold standard of terrible corporate bowl sponsorships. Just short of two minutes in, you get a great field shot of the Notre Dame logo and the Weedeater logo together. Priceless. 2. LSU is wearing gold jerseys and white helmets. It's almost disorienting to see, and they look like Tennessee in the wide shots thanks to the poor color balance. 3. Notre Dame's Ron Powlus, who Beano Cook predicted would win two Heismans, is playing in the Weedeater Bowl. 4. Some guy runs on the field and gets tackled by police. 5. Rondell Mealey rushing for 222 yards, a performance that landed him in the Independence Bowl Hall of Fame this winter. Yes, that Rondell Mealey. 6. This is about as good as Gerry DiNardo football gets, folks. (H/T UniWatch)

The missing 7-year-old boy's mother, Desiree Young, tearfully issued a direct public plea Thursday to the child's stepmother, Terri Horman, who has come under increasing police scrutiny.
"We implore Terri Horman to fully cooperate with investigators to bring Kyron home," says Young.
Pressure has been mounting on Horman, believed to be the last person to see Kyron when she dropped him off at school June 4. She has since taken two polygraphs and been served with divorce papers and a restraining order by her husband, Kaine Horman, who is Kyron's father.
Terri, who has helped raise Kyron since he was a baby, has hired a prominent criminal defense attorney. Authorities have not identified her as a suspect or a person of interst, but have circulated pictures of her and the truck she was driving the day Kyron disappeared.
In the public statement, Young says she still believed that "Kyron is still alive" and urged the media to continue to "get his face out there."
"We pray each day for Kyron," she says. "We are working with investigators daily to bring Kyron home. We are extremely confident in how the investigation is going to bring him to home to us."
Kyron's father Kaine spoke of the family's heartbreak at Kyron's disappearance, saying, "We miss his toothless smile, his belly laugh and we miss the happy noise that emanates from the house when he's around."

User Review: The North Face Catalyst 75
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: 100 € (on sale)
Poor materials: particularly the film near the zips is all broken after only one month; and all the latches are made by too little parts, very very breakable. The form is not correct so that the back zip risks to be forced every time you have a lot of stuff.
Not recommended.
- big
- very breakable
- not so comfortable when full
- heavy
- not enough straps inside to arrest your stuff
It doesn't fit well when full charged, even if shoulders belt are ok, because the hip belt is big but not precise, so that it moves and you can't bind it as you want.
Poor materials: particularly the film near the zips is all broken after only one month I use the backpack.
All the latches at the end of the side straps are very very breakable.
The mould of the back pack is not correct so that the back zip riscks to be forced every time you have a lot of stuff inside, even if you try to block your stuff using the inside straps.
The pockets on the bottom part are not so usable.
It's heavy and not recommended.

WASHINGTON (January 29, 1998) -- Cardinal Bernard Law, Chairman of the Committee for Pro-Life Activities of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops, issued the following statement today following the explosion at the clinic in Birmingham:
"We are deeply saddened at the news of the death and the injuries caused by an explosion at an abortion clinic in Alabama. If initial reports are true, and this destruction was intentional, we condemn, in the strongest possible terms, such murderous violence. We will pray for the families of the victims of today's tragedy and for the victims themselves."

Guest Editor Sander Molenaar is a history researcher at the Sinological Institute at Leiden University in The Netherlands.
China's economy is growing faster than ever, and 'we' feel threatened. Who are we anyway? And why do we feel threatened?
We are 'the West': America and Europe, mainly western Europe. Constructs of what happened three centuries ago: the Industrial Revolution. The West initiated the Industrial Revolution and by doing so created the foundation for the modern age. Our modern age. Along with modernity came its spoils: steamboats, machine guns, quinine. Through these spoils, the West managed to force its rule on the greater part of the world. Westerners accumulated wealth and continued to develop, and now, in the early 21st century, a clear gap exists between the developed West on the one hand (the Global North), and the developing countries on the other hand (the Global South).
But then, things start to change. All of a sudden, economies in the Far East start to grow, and GDPs start to increase. Giants like China even go as far as to boast on its rapid economic growth. Our reaction? To feel threatened.
Many people take the gap between the North and the South for granted. Ask Max Weber, who explains in The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism that the rational and industrious character of Calvinism, in comparison to the conservative and lazy character of Islam and Confucianism, inevitably led to the development of the West, while the rest lacked behind. Or take a look at the World System Theory of Emmanuel Wallerstein: the center obtains raw material from the periphery, then processes the raw material into complex products, and finally sells the products for more raw material. Because technology ánd knowledge are in hands of the center, the periphery can only sell raw material or inferior products to obtain the complex products and will thus exhaust its resources, without catching up with the advanced center. The West invented these complex products during its industrialization, and the periphery never managed to catch up.
But Wallerstein is not the only one to shine his light on the world system theory. Take Andre Gunder Frank for example. He accepts the basic divergence between center and periphery, but he places the starting point of the world system long before the industrialization: "the Indian Ocean area, extending to the South China Sea, has been central in global history in all the millennia up to about 1800, and now is re-emerging again as central." (Pearson. 2003: 4)
It is for good reason that Andre Gunder Frank mentions the Indian Ocean. Adam Smith explains in chapter 3 of The Wealth of Nations that the key to success in a capitalist society is the division of labor. Specialization increases productivity, but it must go hand in hand with an increase in transport, because the overflow of products must reach markets further and further away. Since transport over water is more efficient and reaches further than transport over land, an increase in maritime transport indicates the growth of economies. The one place in the world that was both the cradle and the playground for maritime voyages, was the Indian Ocean.
Regular maritime contact between Egypt and India was established five thousand years ago. The Chinese empire reached India by sea around 200 before Christ. In the following centuries a flourishing market grew in the Indian Ocean. Chinese merchants travelled across the South China Sea as far south as Java, building trading posts (entrepôts) and Chinese colonies, and from this position entered the Indian Ocean to trade. At times, they managed to come as far as the pirate island of Zanzibar, off the east coast of Africa. They brought the fine silk much sought after by the courts of India and the middle East, and they brought the fine porcelain that was found in Tanzanian tombs. From the countries bordering the Indian Ocean they carried back precious metals, spices and woods. They also purchased slaves and horses from Arabic traders.
China, as much of the Indian subcontinent, was always surrounded by horse riding nomads, because of all the desserts around its borders. The Chinese built a wall to fend off the barbaric horsetribes of the steppe, but if they wanted to defeat them they needed horsepower. Therefore, in times when the nomads became a threat, the Chinese increasingly shipped horses from the Indian Ocean area to China.
The Chinese were not the only maritime merchants in the Indian Ocean. Flourishing trade existed between the island people of the Malay archipelago. Spices and woods came from the different islands and were amassed in entrepôts such as Melakka or Singapore. From here, Chinese traders took them back to China, or Arabic traders would take them to India and the middle East. A small amount of spices would even make it as far as Rome, or in later times the Byzantium empire and Venice. This small amount of pepper and such would later prove inspiring enough for the European adventurers to circle around the Turkish blockade and enter the Indian Ocean market.
The century before European entrance of the Indian Ocean is remarkable and worth explaining in order to illustrate the balance between East and West. The early fifteenth century (1400 AD, that is…) was a time of revival. The iron grip of the great Khan and his Mongols was broken in most of the Eurasian continent, and the threat of Timur the Lame was over. The agrarian societies of China, India and the middle East were locked in a cyclic battle with the nomadic tribes of the arid zone that runs from the Great Wall in the east, through Mongolia and the middle East all the way to Egypt. The agrarian societies were strong enough to ward off the different tribes, but when the tribes united they could conquer the agrarian societies (e.g. Djingiz Khan and his Pax Mongolia). However, as they conquered the agrarian societies, their lifestyle changed. The brutal nomads became less fierce because daily life no longer required riding a horse or wielding a bow. The agrarian societies were then able to overthrow the old group of nomads. Until the nomadic tribes were to unite again and repeat the cycle.
The Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) was the revival of the agrarian society after the invasion of the Mongol Yuan (1276-1368). The first emperors of the Ming completely reorganized the empire. They dispatched several fleets to explain to all sovereigns in the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, by force if necessary, that the Ming emperors ruled China and consequently the world. The third Ming emperor, Yongle, was excessive in all his actions. He ordered the construction of new capital in the north to keep the nomads under control, and in 1420 he moved to this new site and called it Beijing, the northern capital. Emperor Yongle deforested the north of Vietnam to provide the building material for his new capital, and to celebrate the completion of this project he sent the eunuch Admiral Zhenghe to the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean to pick up the important sovereigns, so they could attend the ceremony. As mentioned before, this was not always a friendly invitation. For example, the king of Sri Lanka refused to come along and even ordered his troops to attack the ships of Zhenghe. The eunuch admiral then decided to attack the capital of Sri Lanka in blitzkrieg and the king was carried off to China before his troops reached the beach. On another occasion Zhenghe defeated a pirate king who blocked the trade route in the strait of Melaka.
This is not to say that the Chinese controlled the Indian Ocean. Besides the presence of Chinese on the east side of the Indian Ocean, two other features are important as well for the formation of the trading culture in the Indian Ocean. First there is the spread of Hindu-culture from India to southeast Asia. In the tenth, eleventh century the straits of Sunda and Melaka were controlled by the Hindu kingdom Srivijaya. This maritime kingdom was spread over the east coast of India, the Malay peninsula and Sumatra. Long after the decline of this kingdom, the Hindu-culture dictated everyday life in southeast Asia. The second influence came from the Arabic traders who brought the Islam with them to every port they visited. The spread of Islam in Indonesia goes back to Arabic traders in the years after the fall of Srivijaya.
This was the world the Portuguese entered in the late fifteenth century. The Indian Ocean was an early global network where merchants connected an area from the Ottoman empire, to the Chinese empire and the islands of southeast Asia. The merchants communicated in pidgin Malay and shared knowledge and technology, e.g. the hybrid ship types that blended south and east Asian shipbuilding techniques. The Portuguese, and later the Dutch and the English, didn't take over the market as many believe they did. They roamed off the top, but the main share of the market was still in hands of Arabic, Malay and Chinese merchants. Until in the early 19th century, when the spoils of the industrial revolution enabled the Europeans to control the people of Asia on their own soil. In accordance with the world system theory, the center develops over the back of the periphery, and the West accumulated wealth, where the East was left behind.
However, this control did not last long. Less than hundred and fifty years later the second world war left Europe in ashes and America in pole position. Now, sixty five years later, people are starting to doubt the strength of the USA. In this article we've seen some five thousand years of Asian supremacy, and about two hundred years of Western control. It is this hidden minority complex that causes our fear of the rising East. But if history has anything to teach us it is that all we have to do is come up with a second 'industrial revolution', and our Western way of life is safe for another two centuries. Or perhaps it's time to learn using chopsticks.

Molecular phylogenetic analysis of the evolution of complex hybridity in Isotoma petraea
Bussell, John D., Waycott, Michelle, Chappill, Jennifer A., and James, Sidney H. (2002) Molecular phylogenetic analysis of the evolution of complex hybridity in Isotoma petraea. Evolution, 56 (6). pp. 1296-1302.

Complex hybridity is a rare diploid genetic system of plants, extensively characterized in Oenothera, in which heterozygosity for one or more reciprocal translocations is maintained by means of autogamy and a balanced lethal system. It is visible at metaphase I of meiosis as rings or chains of chromosomes held together by terminalized chiasmata. Phylogenetic analysis based on 274 random amplified polymorphic DNA markers showed that in the Australian endemic Isotoma petraea (Lobeliaceae) the genetic system had a single origin, as a ring-of-six, in the Pigeon Rock population. It subsequently spread to other populations to produce hybrids incorporating additional chromosomes into the rings. Our research supports the suggestion that complex hybridity is an evolutionary response to intense inbreeding and selected because it allows masking of accumulated deleterious alleles.

July 12, 2008 Is the Media Business Giving GE Indigestion?By Christopher Alleva
Many commentators have wondered aloud what GE is thinking with its NBC Universal division (NBCU). The news operation is lurching far left and has to deal with the sudden loss of Tim Russert. The division has a big bet riding on this summer's Olympics. All this plus a healthy dose of risk, should make GE a little queasy.
Thanks to the financial structure of a $3.5 billion acquisition of the Weather Channel, new questions are raised about GE's commitment to the network and assorted other properties under the NBCU flag. A short piece in Wall Street Journal spoke directly to the puzzle:
Acquiring the Weather Channel in partnership with private equity partners like Bain and Blackstone is not a strong indicator NBCU is a "core business" for GE. The strategic advantage of teaming up with these players eludes me, if we assume GE wants to stay in the business. GE certainly doesn't need them for their money, operating experience, or even to mitigate the acquisition risk. Oddly, Bain and Blackstone are contributing a large portion of the equity and a big hunk the debt financing. GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt's "core business" incantation appears rather hollow when the company is bringing in private-equity partners for such a small (for GE) yet strategic deal. Liability and other risk Immelt should be concerned with the intangible risks associated with the TV and movie business. From the unseemly feud with Fox News that percolated all the way to Immelt's office to the embarrassing episode with former CEO Jack Welch in an appearance on the company's business cable channel CNBC commenting on GE's first quarter earnings debacle. Undoubtedly, NBCU president Jeff Zucker sends over a supply of sleeping pills with his reports to head office. A revealing account in this week's Vanity Fair of CNBC's role in the fall of Bear Stearns portrays CNBC as a bunch of loose cannons running around at their Englewood Cliffs New Jersey headquarters. As rumors about Bear's viability were widely circulating Bear CEO Allan Schwartz decided to appear on CNBC. Looking to quiet the rumor mill he wanted to pick the friendliest inquisitor. According to Vanity Fair, Schwartz feared the risk in picking the wrong CNBC correspondent for the interview.
This is not the first or last time CNBC finds itself at the vortex of a sticky situation. There isn't enough insurance available to cover the liability risk arising from GE's ownership of this cable channel. An excellent example of the kind risks they face is a February interview where New York Insurance Superintendent Eric Dinallo told William Ackman, head of New York hedge fund Pershing Square Capital Management, to be careful with some of his criticisms of monoline bond insurers Ambac and MBIA. Firms that Ackman was aggressively shorting at the time and waging a public relations war to run down their price. Dinallo noted that New York State law prohibits false statements about the financial condition of state-regulated insurance companies. These are criminal statutes. GE is close to an untenable position in managing NBCU. If they exercise due care and supervision, the producers and talent will scream interference. If a major incident occurs with their talent and content, the parent corporation will be held liable. GE is under no pressure to sell. They can dispose of NBCU at a time and place of their choosing. Selling after a successful Olympic run could present an ideal time to get out from under a business that is obviously incompatible with GE's business goals and objectives. A company like News Corp with Rupert Murdoch at the helm is far better situated to control this kind of risk. GE's inherent risk is product liability and finance-related. Risk arising from media and entertainment businesses is a different dimension for GE. on "Is the Media Business Giving GE Indigestion?"

Don't get your hopes too high just yet, everyone. This story comes from Brazil, land of picturesque beaches and seemingly endless models. So, y'know, it's not like you're going to be able to go to town on yourself during your shift at Burger King.
Anyway, a 36-year-old Brazilian woman named Ana Catarina Bezerra Silvares has won the right to masturbate in the workplace. A judge granted her this privilege due to a disease she has; a disease that sounds way more awesome than cancer.
Apparently this woman suffers from a condition known as "compulsion orgasmic," a chemical imbalance affecting the brain. It appears that rubbing one out is the only way to relieve the pain.
According to the woman: "There was a day I had to masturbate 47 times. I began to suppose that this could not be normal and decided to seek help."
47 times, huh? That's just five times short of my personal record.
Anyway, this should make for a kick-ass office Christmas party come December.

Born and raised in Burnaby, Jeanette has been volunteering in the community for years, starting with Meals on Wheels. Jeanette raised her family in Burnaby and now her grandchildren live close by.
When taking her grandchildren to the drop-in centre at Burnaby Family Life, she was asked to volunteer to help with the monthly Sharing Cultures Dinners organized and hosted by the South Burnaby Neighbourhood House. She says, "The people are nice and the food is great – I've been there ever since." Jeanette continues to volunteer every month at the multicultural dinners.
Jeanette was a founding member of the Seniors Together Committee at South Burnaby Neighborhood House, a program that focuses on providing positive intercultural exchanges for people of all ages. As an active member of the diverse committee, she models respect and makes everyone feel good about being involved.
When volunteering, Jeanette is often the only Canadian-born person in the group. Most of her other committee members, staff, and participants are immigrants; some very new to the country. Jeanette cheerfully shares her knowledge of Canadian culture while learning from other cultures and embracing different traditions and beliefs. She helps those she meets feel comfortable and at ease.
She says it just makes sense: "If I went to someone else's country, I'd want to be treated the same way."
"I like getting to meet new people. It's rewarding to see them smile, to know that somebody cares. It makes me feel good to say I'm a Canadian; I like newcomers."
"One lady in my group of clients, who doesn't speak any English and is hard of hearing…
every time she sees me, her face lights up and she grabs my hand and hugs me. It's that personal connection that is so important. It's my idea of volunteering – to show that somebody cares."
Jeanette blankets the community with her positive attitude and open-mindedness. She models this in all aspects of her life and volunteer work.
In her words, "I think the world revolves around volunteers."

Green, Executive Director Weeksville Heritage Center is both a historic preservation organization and a community cultural center located in Central Brooklyn. Established in 1968 under the leadership of a founder-director whose tenure lasted thirty years, Weeksville was on the brink of closing its doors in the late 1990's. This situation gave rise to several questions about the mission and vision of the organization, its ability to be a sustainable cultural institution, and more importantly, how could it be a relevant institution able to meet the needs of its community civically and culturally. What happens next?

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I'm thinking maybe I need to do a zine about menopause...tried to find out if there were others who make zines who are going through this madness....I don't even know if it matters.
Tomorrow is/has to be better than how I feel now. I don't want to feel this way for years and years more of this place.
Menopause sucks. I can't take anything to make it better, all the stuff either doesn't touch this or I'm alergic to it....I just want to make it stop…

Rachel Zoe hits Vancouver with 2012 fall-winter collection that channels rock 'n' roll cool
She didn't have me at hello, but Rachel Zoe did have me at "the Rolling Stones". During an in-store appearance at Holt Renfrew on August 9, the celebrity stylist turned designer explained how key members of the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world (and the women who loved them) were major inspirations for her 2012 fall-winter collection. So really, I didn't even have to see Zoe's latest line of edgy ready-to-wear glam pieces to know that I would love it: the woman obviously gets it. (Then again, anyone who doesn't fully appreciate the seminal influence that Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithful, Anita Pallenberg, and later Bianca Jagger have had on fashion, have no business being in the fashion industry. Period.)
That said, it's always interesting to see how a contemporary designer such as Zoe updates a bygone era and makes it her own. And thankfully, she was more than happy to give us the lowdown on every piece. As the models made their way down the catwalk, Zoe—along with Holt Renfrew's vice-president of fashion direction, Barbara Atkin—offered commentary on each outfit. Turns out Zoe loves her designs as much as I do.
Sometimes, the article in question was so fab, she couldn't find the words to elaborate: "I can't even talk about this one," she would say. Clearly, her label isn't just a department-store cash grab. Zoe stands by every single design.
As for the Stones influence, one of the most obvious nods was the Candice, a dark-green funnel-neck cape. I could totally see Faithfull rocking this with some go-go boots and a cap during her Swinging London heyday. According to Zoe, "the cape is everything" this season, so you've been warned. And if you want to give this look a millennium edge, think black platform ankle boots. And it just so happens that Zoe has a few really hot styles to pick from, including some nautically themed shorties with gold buttons as well as some shearling bad boys that flap wide open in the front.
Another Stones wink was the white brocade suit. With cigarette pants and a fitted, yet slightly androgynous, collar jacket, it looked like the kind of outfit that Mick and Bianca would fight over.
In the mini-dress department, the Karolina black-and-white-striped sequin mini shift ($895) was a definite standout.
"It's Edie Sedgwick in a nutshell," Zoe said, before commenting on the dress's forgiving cut: "And it's not too fitted, so you can eat your cheeseburger with your date."
If you're looking for more of a timeless party dress, Zoe's Selita sequinned blouson dress is to die for—it's the kind of show-stopping LBD that leggy PYTs will be rocking for years to come.
Like Selita, the Cassie ($495) has very little to so with Mick et al. Yet, this vibrant turquoise cowl-back gown ($495) truly was the show's centrepiece. It's fresh, young, and as Zoe points out, just a really easy to wear clean design. She recommends pairing this dress with some bright contrasting scarlet lips and a messy bun for that perfect red-carpet rebel look—also known as the quintessentially Rachel Zoe look.
Very Cool

The rear tire has a tendency to slip and make it bump the rear fender which sometimes makes it so the tire doesn't turn smoothly. I jiggle the rubber tire, and it's then fine though. ETA: So yeah I think it's a pretty typical problem/design flaw with Molly's bike. The rear tire doesn't stay straight and bumps into the other parts.

Dear Teacher,
Cold you please help me too write an article? :?:
I think more detail in what you are trying to do is needed, before people here can begin to help. :lol:
- Could you help me write an article?
When you use "Could you" you already have the sentence in the form of a polite request, so you don't need "please" there. Additionally, "please" is not generally used in sentences that are formed as questions. Instead, it is used something like this:
- Please help me write an article.
Finally, the only answer I can give to your question is yes. I can help you write an article. Please submit only a couple of paragraphs at a time. (Not long ones.)

I have seen a lot of commercial electronic shooting targets. Most of them seem to use microphones to "triangulate" the position of the projectile. If I wanted to do a diy version of this what kind of math would I need to determine the location of a projectile shot at a metal target?

I haven't had an opportunity to look at any of them from a technical stand point. But my understanding of the ones used @ Blair Atholl (Scotland) when we visited last year for an invitational (going back as far as 1233yds) was that their target system used some sort of rubber membrane behind the target face, and a series of sensors attached to the membrane around the perimeter sensed the location of the shot to within a fairly accurate position (less than 1mm error). I believe both this system and the ones utilizing microphones use some sort of triangulation to determine the location of the bullet as it passes through what ever sensor network is used. | |||||||||
(As for how they work, see memilanuk's answer) For the math you need some sort of triangulation too see where several distances intersect. Use several microphones, time the difference between when they heard the round hitting your target - by using the speed of sound you will get the distance between the microphone and the hit. By having several distances you need to figure out where they intersect on the target; all mics will have heard the sound at different times (as the are placed on a line by the base of the target - in order to eliminate the possibility of them all reacting at the same time). We are talking about the speed of sound and distances of about a meter (a few feet for you imperialists;) so use the same length of wire for all the microphones to rule that out as a variable and keep in mind that the accuracy of the sampling is crucially important for this sort of thing. Another reason these sort of targets are so expensive is that they are made to be placed on a range, side by side (maybe as close as a feet in distance from each other) so they need to disregard if the target next to it was hit at the same time. Also keep in mind that if you use metal (or any sort of "non healing" target) you might end up with a hole larger than the bullet - and if the bullet would pass it then no sound and thus nothing to hear. | |||

The Hoboken Police Department has also increased patrols in the area of city's projects, and Housing Authority officials have pledged to strictly enforce their "zero-tolerance" policy which would ban convicted criminals from living in the 1,373 federally subsidized units in the southwest part of town.
They also announced at a Housing Authority meeting on Thursday that they will be undertaking millions of dollars in improvements to Housing Authority's grounds and facilities.
A murder and drug bust
Last month, 18-year-old high school senior Ismar "Mookie" Mineros was shot and killed near the 500 Block of Jackson Street on the property of the Hoboken Housing Authority projects.
Antonio Rivera Jr., 19, of Harrison Street, is charged with shooting Mineros to death in the wee hours of Feb. 17. At the time of the shooting, Rivera had already been free on $75,000 bail after being charged with attempted murder for an August shooting in Jersey City.
Also, on March 6, the Hoboken Police Department and the Hudson County Prosecutor's office made eight arrests to break up a major heroin ring that was operating out of Hoboken.
Considering a curfew
At Wednesday night's City Council meeting, Council President Christopher Campos, who also sits on the Board of Commissioners at the Hoboken Housing Authority, instructed the city's attorney to write a curfew ordinance that could be introduced at the council's next meeting on April 5. Before any such legislation can be passed, there will have to be a public hearing where residents can debate the issue.
After an uptick in gang activity two years ago, the idea of a curfew was debated, but at that time there was a perception of minimal support for it to pass.
But now, Campos said the conditions are different.
"We have had parents come to us this time asking for a curfew," Campos said. "The safety of our residents is a serious issue and we - as a government- are dealing with the escalation of violence that took the life of one of our residents."
Is a curfew legal?
The concept of a curfew is not a new one in Hudson County. Union City, West New York and Jersey City currently have one in place. Minors, unless working, are to be home from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. from Sunday through Thursday, and from midnight to 5 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Those curfews have been challenged in court, but they have been upheld.
Zero tolerance policy evicts entire families
Campos also said that Housing Authority officials will show increased vigilance in enforcing the "zero-tolerance" policy. The Department of Housing and Urban Development currently has a policy of evicting tenants and their families who commit violent or drug-related crimes.
Campos said that the housing board has authorized the director and the HHA attorneys to go after tenants violating the policy.
"Our tenants have been warned," Campos said. "If they or their children are involved in violent acts or drugs, their entire family will be evicted. There will be no exceptions."
Keycard system, video cameras for buildings
According to Housing Authority Acting Executive Director Robert DiVincent, the authority is also undertaking a major capital improvement initiative that is aimed at increasing security.
This Wednesday, he expects to receive bids to completely renovate the entranceways and hallways of all of the HHA's buildings.
"This is the largest project that we are going to do," DiVincent said. He said that the contract, which will likely be well in excess of $1 million, will include increased lighting, a new electronic keycard entry system for all of the buildings, a new intercom system, improved lighting and repairs to the stairs, and new fire doors. They will also paint the hallways and apartment doors, DiVincent said.
"We are going to do what we can to ensure that people that don't have the right to be in these buildings can't get in," DiVincent said. "We have spent a lot of money and effort to not only make these apartments more livable, but also to make them secure."
The authority has also already entered into a contract to buy about 25 video cameras in the HHA's public areas for about $100,000. According to HHA officials, about 14 of those cameras have already been installed, and the others will be installed shortly. The cameras feed directly to the Hoboken Police Department.
The Housing Authority also pays $45,000 per month for supplemental police protection. According to city officials, since last month's murder, the Police Department has made several adjustments to its deployment in the Housing Authority, with a specific emphasis on officers making vertical checks of the projects' buildings.

Should tenants pay for utilities separately?
From a Moneyville (Toronto Star) article:
One of the big choices when it comes to looking for an apartment is whether to rent with utilities included or to pay separately.
Many older apartment buildings are bulk-metered which means the landlord pays the hydro for everyone and builds that into the rent. But many are now installing a type of smart meter in individual apartments that can measure when and how much electricity is being used by each unit. These so-called suite meters help tenants manage their energy consumption and better participate in Ontario's conservation efforts.
The question is whether it's a good idea or a bad one for tenants.

English: The Jagdpanzer 38(t) (Sd.Kfz.138/2) sometimes known as Hetzer ("baiter") was a German tank destroyer of the Second World War based on a modified Czech LT 38 tank chassis. Most today as Jagdpanzer 38(t) called tanks are swiss G-13, wich where build after the Second World War, but they have only small modifikations to the Hetzer.
