I've been on and off the internet since mid-June and are thinking about what is good and what is bad about the virtual world, or rather what we'd like to keep and what we'd like to discard. Facebook went out the window some time ago. Our friend Eck calls it "Fakebook". And I've been realizing that so much of the internet is about the illusion of who we are/who we want to be/who we want the world to think we are. Wikipedia is another example of this for me. Academics and some poets have Wikipedia sites that help to grease the wheels of job searches and gigs and publicity. I wonder sometimes who builds those entries and puts the pretty pictures up. When I tried to delete my entry on Wikipedia I was told this was "vandalism". I'm not sure who created the entry, or who updates it, but I can occassionally hack it back down in size without the Wikipedia people flagging me as a vandal.
These are the notes I took about being mostly off and sometimes on the internet over the last month. These are questions I would have googled, answers I arrived at, and miscellaneous facts and musings:
How much holy basil can I drink? Why did our electricity bill go up? Mark F said "email me". I need a RK-33 Panasonic typewriter ribbon. (I ordered it online.) How expensive is domestic adoption? I never emailed Mark F. What's the weather in Buffalo? (Ask someone! Read the newspaper!) The average IPhone user checks his or her IPhone 150 times a day (NPR). Tickets for the puppet show? I did order them online. I read the New York Times, found the weather (national), read book reviews, found movie listings and horse racing news, news also about Burma, Australia, Syria, Israel, and the United States. When I'm not on the computer I cook, sew, read, and run. I was online to look at the energy calculator provided by ConEd and realized our electirc range is an energy demon, but our crock pot is fine. We need groceries from Fresh Direct, so I go to the store instead. Our neighbor says, "You don't text? How do you do that?" She has the phone number for Lana's gymnastics in Flushing and slips the flyer under the door.
What I've found is that I do want to use the internet a couple times a week as an informational tool. Sometimes there are kid events around town for Bea, other times there are rare things I'm looking for like the typewriter ribbon. But I don't want to have relationships online. I want to see people and talk to people on the phone if they are too far away to meet up with in person. I want to write letters also, and I want to remember the names of streets that people live on and also their telephone numbers.
With a kid in the house, these questions have taken on a new importance: how do I help my kid negotiate her way through a real world that is so hooked up to a virtual world? It doesn't make sense to ban screens from a kid who will live in an increasingly virtual world, but I do hope that giving the example of not living connected to a screen will help to keep a balance. The solitary nature of a computer or an iPhone bothers me. We do watch movies a lot, so the screen is present, but it's a communal screen that is about 6 or 8 feet from our heads. When I peer into a tiny screen I disappear from my family, which is what I don't want to do, and what I don't want my kid to do (or at least not much). We've been playing more games here: cards and checkers and of course Barbie marries a frog and the frog runs off with another prince or some variation of that. I've also been noticing that my days are a lot more satisfying when I don't wake up and check my email first thing. And days are extremely satisfying when I'm not online at all. This shouldn't be a big surprise. There are still chunks of the world that are not online and they're not missing out on much. (Though their economic statuses may make them miss out on other things like food and health care.) When I was a smoker, I needed a cigarette in the morning, and when I was bored, I smoked a cigarette. The internet looms in the same way for me, which is why I'm not keen on it these days.
In other news, there was summer camp. Not for me, but for the kid. Not a big deal summer camp, but a couple weeks of dropping her off for a couple hours every morning to play instruments and make art. That experience was a trip-- a chance to see (on a small scale) how counter-intuitive the structure of school really is. We learned to be somewhere every morning at 9:30, which was also counter-intuitive, because sometimes we weren't awake that early and sometimes she wasn't interested in going to this venue at this time on this day. Learning became part of a box: 9:30-12:30, in one particular space, with a lot of instructions about what she should do with her body: stand here, sit here, line up here, eat at this time, etc. It was novel, but also draining, and also ultimately another reminder that ours is an autonomous learning household. Then she learned the phrase "You get what you get and you don't get upset." (for example, when handed an instrument or given a seat to sit in.) Puritanical? Stalinist bread line? I did say kind of bluntly "That's a crock of shit." We talked about it a little bit and changed it to "You get what you need," which seems only fair to a kid. Needs are so various, and schools are so narrow. That's why we're glad that summer camp is over.
Peace out people. And see you soon.
An Autumn Writing Workshop
(Beginning Monday September 9, 6 pm) in Jackson Heights, Queens
Topic: Autobiography: how do we create art from the personal without lapsing into the confessional, touchy-feely, sentimental.
We'll read short stories by James Joyce, works by Gertrude Stein, Bernadette Mayer's Midwinter Day, and others.
Projects will include research on the neighbor you hated as a kid, google map poems of places you've lived, and new angles on the tribute to the dead grandmother.
Open to poets, fiction writers, musicians, filmmakers, visual artists.
Limit eight students, 10 weeks, $300. Reserve a spot today!
1. For the past year or so, maybe longer I guess, we've been without proper computers in our household. In the old days I had my own machine, something with files on it, with a desktop I could rearrange and add photos to. It was a grounding force, that machine. But circumstances of an expanding household and less money changed all that. At first maybe we didn't notice. The computers were dying, first one, then another, then the iPod got smashed, then the computer we borrowed from friend broke too. Thomas borrowed one from work. We call it "the work computer". We surf on and off it like tourists in an internet cafe. I think, often, that I should only have a notebook.
2. I have three notebooks that Thomas brought home from work. They are mock-ups for books. Most of the pages are shiny white. They're all unlined, which is the dilemna. I think that I should only have a notebook, but it should not be an unlined notebook.
3. In September I'm supposed to write a series for Jacket 2 on Mother Poets. I had in mind that mostly I wanted to write about Bernadette Mayer. And also about being an unschooling poet mom. Then other thoughts crept in. Would I be obliged to write about Sylvia Plath? If I think she is not an interesting poet will I also conclude that she is not an interesting mother. If I write publically about mother poets, will the wrath of the mother poet world come down upon me? For a few days a few years ago I was on a mother poet listserv and I had to leave when some of the mothers began talking about enjoying sleep training their kids. (I did note a trend that conservative poets sleep-trained and avant poets did not. There is a dissertation in there somewhere.)
4. The rains have been torrential in New York City, and it feels more like another place, but I'm not sure what place. The coast of Florida the day before a hurricane? Maybe. We've had one tropical storm come through and we're not even very deep into the season of storns with names.
5. Working in my gardens, I can see the wonders of rain. It's a tropical paradise. Should I plant lemon trees in Queens? Peppermint, Spearmint, Oregano, and Chamomile are growing side by side.
6. In the park this week we made masks. It's part of a summer project to explore theatre with the kids. Next week we do puppets. Masks were exciting, because they were not what I thought they'd be. They are spooky, even if they're light-hearted and yellow and pink. Here is the crew on Summit Rock:
7. I'd like to know more about masks. Bea and I went to look at the Franz Boas collection of masks at the Museum of Natural History:
Spooky especially in the dim light of that room. Bea shrugged and said "let's go to Gems". I still want to know more about masks.
8. In the summer workshop, we're exploring the Five Senses. We started with vision, which to me feels like the hardest to think about as the dominant familiar in your face sense. I started by asking trite questions. Why am I so happy when the sky is blue? I took some pictures:
9. I don't understand philosophy, but Thomas was reading a good book about Spinoza and Leibniz, and then I started telling Bea a story about a bottle nosed turtle named Spinoza, and now Spinoza is all the rage around here. (As a turtle, not a philosopher.)
10. One more picture, this one of Gem Girl in the Gem Room at the Museum of Natural History.
Peace Out People.
We've been getting very strange blog comments lately about our unschooling posts. So, this is a shout out to our anonymous friends who want to write, but can't quite tell us who they are. We do like to keep the comments line running for folks who want to connect about poetry, parenting, food politics, and unschooling. So, this is to say if you want to leave a comment, please introduce yourself to the Lisablog Readers! And Hello Walter, thanks for checking in. Peace out People.
Greetings People
This summer I'll be continuing the theme of The Poet's Notebook with an emphasis on The Five Senses. The class will run for ten weeks, with a sequence of two week segments exploring the fields of sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch.
We'll experiment with braille and sign language and synesthesia, and we will think about our habits as writers (what sensory information do we favor? what sensory information do we ignore?).
The class is open to creative people of all kinds, and the dates of meetings are Mondays (6 pm to 8:30 pm):
June 3, 10, 17, 24,
Fee for the class is $300 ($275 for returning students) and the class will be held in Jackson Heights, Queens.
Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com to register.
From The Way We Eat: Why Our Food Choices Matter:
Gidon Eshel and Pamela Martin, of the University of Chicago, studied the greenhouse gases emitted by the production of animal products, and concluded that the typical US diet , about 28 percent of which comes from animal sources, generates the equivalent of nearly 1.5 tons more carbon dioxide per year than a vegan diet with the same number of calories. (240)
The prevailing Western ethic assumes that human interests must always prevail over the comparable interests of members of other species. Since the rise of the modern animal movement in the 1970s, however, this ethic has been on the defensive. The argument is that, despite obvious differences between human and nonhuman animals, we share a capacity to suffer, and this means that they, like us, have interests. If we ignore or discount their interests simply on the grounds that they are not members of our species, the logic of our position is similar to that of the most blatant racists or sexists— those who think that to be white, or male, is to be inherently superior in moral status, irrespective of other characteristics or qualities. (246)
According to Dr Timothy Jones, an archaeologist at the University of Arizona who led a US government funded study of food waste, more than 40 percent of the food grown in the United States is lost or thrown away— that's about $100 billion of wasted food a year. (268)
I read Peter Singer and Jim Mason's The Way We Eat: Why Our Food Choices Matter, and as I said to my friend Evan today, I don't think a book has changed my life so much since I read Ulysses.
In our household we've eaten sustainable meat and dairy for some time (coming from local farmers at our Green Market or from Amish farmers who also deliver raw milk to us). That felt like a step in the right direction.
We assumed that the animals were better cared for than factory farmed animals (and this was confirmed by word-of-mouth from friends who had visited the farms, and from website information about the farmers' practices.)
A couple things came up in Peter Singer's book that revised our food-thinking yet again. Firstly, we don't own a car and don't drive because of its impact on the environment. I've always thought of that as a basic important step I can take to help. But cow-eating (and milk-drinking) has as much of an impact on the environment as car-driving. So now I ask, do I really need to eat cows? The answer is no. Chickens? Well chickens are treated really poorly, sometimes even in "organic" farming contexts. Cage-free doesn't mean free-range; it can mean that the chicken is kept in a shed in close proximity to a lot of other chickens with its beak clipped off. It can not see sunlight and still be cage-free. So, this is a bummer, as they say. Fish? Forget it. Fishing is almost entirely not-sustainable in the 21st Century. Our old friend salmon is either farmed (requiring tons to fish-food which is trawled from the ocean in the form of fish that are then ground up and processed to feed the salmon fish-pellets) or mislabeled as "wild" when often it is farmed. Turkeys: see Chickens. Pigs: pigs have really awful lives in captivity, and yes, they are pretty smart.
I'm always trying to conserve. (I take public transport, I turn off lights, I dislike plastic bags, etc. etc.) It's nothing radical, and in most of the world it's really just the way things are (in Europe people are food and energy conscious, in the Third World they don't have choices— they eat less meat because they can't afford it or can't access it.) But the impact of animal-eating on land, water reserves, and oil energy (pesticides are oil-based and necessary to grow cattle-feed) is phenomenal. The impact of vegetable and fruit eating is usually three times less and sometimes ten times less than the impact of meat eating. Under these circumstances, I think I shouldn't eat meat. I certainly don't need cow milk. I might still eat some goat cheese. And eggs, yes, I use them for our morning pancakes, but I have an egg connection, and I know those chickens personally. (They're pretty happy girls.)
This is the news from the Lisablog headquarters. I think everyone should read The Way We Eat. I think people should stop eating cows too. I mean people who are worried about global warming need to stop eating cows. People who are worried about corral reefs should stop eating fish and shrimp. People who are worried about global warming and about corral reefs should just give up and become vegetarians.
More on this soon. Meanwhile, keep eating the rich!

If you like Enya, Yanni or George Winston, then you'll absolutely fall in love with the music of Jeffrey Michael.
Only in his 20's composer, pianist and recording artist Jeffrey Michael has performed for millions of people and sold over 250,000 CD's worldwide with his self-promotion strategy and record label Fireheart Music. Jeffrey Michael grew up in Sterling Heights and Novi, Michigan. As a 2 year old he used to bang on his Great Grandmother's piano. In 1983 she passed away and her piano was passed along to Jeffrey's mother. She actually told him not to touch the piano for fear that he would damage it at such a young age. Naturally, he disobeyed her and began playing the piano by ear when he was 6 years old, going on to compose his own music by 11 years old. Jeffrey does not read music but rather is a self-taught musician who utilizes his excellent ear for his music and composes using a special shorthand that he developed as a child prodigy. Some of his musical influences include George Winston, David Lanz, Suzanne Ciani, John Tesh, Alan Silvestri, James Newton Howard, Hans Zimmer, James Horner, John Williams, Thomas Newman, Dave Matthews, Pink Floyd, James Blunt, David Gray and Coldplay. At age 15 Jeffrey broke his right hand and could barely use it to play piano for many months which caused him to develop his left hand much more fully than many pianists. Now he is known for his dexterous two-hand counterpoint melodies. That same year Jeffrey borrowed $1,000 from his father, went to a recording studio and made a tape of his compositions that he began selling in his high school. In two weeks he paid his dad back. The next year he made another tape. By the time he graduated, he had sold 5,000 albums of instrumental music primarily to high schoolers! 1n 1996 after briefly taking business classes at Eastern Michigan University and Schoolcraft College, Jeffrey created Fireheart Music. Since then he has developed his company into an independent record label and music production company where he composes, produces and arranges piano CD's. Under the Fireheart label he has released and self-promoted 7 piano CD's including Inspirations (1996), Sailing to the Stars (1999), Winter Spirits (1999), Reflections (2000), Kaleidoscope (2002), After the Storm (2004) and Awakening (2006). For the past 8 years Jeffrey has been touring the United States performing small concerts and more recently has become one the top art festival musicians in the country. He has also performed for many illustrious companies including Fox, Robert Mondavi Wineries, Versace and The American Cancer Society. Jeffrey also composes music for film, television and video games. He has his own recording studio and has composed music for many projects. Some of his credits include music on the Sci-Fi Channel, ABC, Bravo and Oxygen as well as various reality TV shows. Jeffrey is also co-owner of Half Genius Productions, an independent film production company in the Los Angeles area. He plays the guitar, enjoys screenwriting, painting, traveling, fishing, golf, hockey and has played soccer throughout Europe. He now resides in Hermosa Beach, California."

Theo Jansen is a Dutch artist who builds walking kinetic sculptures that he calls a new form of life. His "Strandbeests" walk the coastline of Holland, feeding on wind and fleeing from water.
Dutch artist Theo Jansen has been working for 16 years to create sculptures that move on their own in eerily lifelike ways. Each generation of his "Strandbeests" is subject to the forces of evolution, with successful forms moving forward into new designs. Jansen's vision and long-term commitment to his wooden menagerie is as fascinating to observe as the beasts themselves.
His newest creatures walk without assistance on the beaches of Holland, powered by wind, captured by gossamer wings that flap and pump air into old lemonade bottles that in turn power the creatures' many plastic spindly legs. The walking sculptures look alive as they move, each leg articulating in such a way that the body is steady and level. They even incorporate primitive logic gates that are used to reverse the machine's direction if it senses dangerous water or loose sand where it might get stuck.

Cell phones are more than just convenient communications tools; in an emergency, they can also serve as storage devices, logging data that can be passed along to others. Abayima, one of eight winners of the Knight News Challenge: Mobile, has created an app that transforms mobile phone SIM cards into storage devices that can be passed around in crises. It's not terribly convenient, but it's way better than no information at all.
In developed nations, citizens often take for granted that cell networks will always work. When a crisis hits--say, Hurricane Sandy--and the networks briefly go down, people are gripped with panic, and that's when misinformation starts being spread. It's not such an irregular occurrence in more tumultuous countries. Just last year, citizens in Syria and Egypt saw their Internet access shut off so that they couldn't communicate with the outside world.
Abayima was created in 2011 when co-founder Jon Gosier--along with a number of colleagues--noticed that the Ugandan government was blocking certain text messages from going through that indicated how the country's elections were going. So Abayima was founded as a nonprofit with the goal of keeping communication open during these so-called "blackouts."
After the Ugandan elections, Abayima created a post-election assessment to show just how bad it got. The assessment described incidents like this one, where a Ugandan posted a warning to friends on Facebook: "SMS is being monitored for key words like `dictator', `egypt', etc...my tip is; pliz (sic) try to mask your language in one way or another... chances are techies are using full-text search and not semantic (unless they've got $$ to spend)."
Abayima explains in its Knight application:
Rather than rely upon high-tech infrastructure, Abayima relies upon centuries old information networks inspired by the Jewish resistance, the underground slave escape routes in the United States, Navajo code talkers, the war scouts of Sparta, etc. There is a long lineage of using `no or low-tech' means of encryption to protect sensitive information.
Abayima is hardly a no-tech solution, though it is more low-tech than cell phone networks. The initiative's creators hope to train activists to use the app; those activists will then be expected to train others. In order to monetize the platform, they're working on a closed-sourced version of the Abayima SIM Kit for publishers who want to reach audiences in developing countries. Instead of going out and buying a newspaper, people could just pass around their SIM cards, which will have news that the government doesn't want you to get.
Before launching Abayima, Gosier founded Appfrica, a consultancy that incubates companies in Africa's tech ecosystem with market research, technical help, and investments. Abayima is a spin-off of Appfrica.
The nonprofit's founders are hoping to work with activists in Egypt and Syria in the short term. Gosier writes in an email: "Also, Kenya has presidential elections coming up. We hope Abayima isn't needed there, but if it is, we actually have two developers on the ground who are prepared should a response be needed." Abayima's open-source SIM card modification kit is available here for Windows and Linux developers.

Re: what has tertiary education turned into?hi nevinsmith
Are you saying you typed 'maths' and it was altered automatically to 'math'?
I'm not laughing. Seems like a good ambition. What will determine your success in life is not what bits of paper you have collected but what you can actually do. So if you can make a success of your own skills in engineering, go for it! Fortunately, there's still a demand for people who are keen, have a good reputation and can show they can deliver. It'll take a while to build the reputation but you have to start somewhere. It's what Richard Branson and Bill Gates did and it worked for them.

Re: what has tertiary education turned into?Hi;
Who says? Hope that insult was not pointed at me.
We really do not need any more billionaires. How about the goal of being merely a decent human being? Also, in the coming world hopefully there will be no place for billionaires. In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them. No explanations, just DGA. If you can not overcome with talent...overcome with effort. #5 2012-01-16 21:07:17

Re: what has tertiary education turned into?Hi;
That was an attempt at humor. A difficult concept for me. But have you ever heard of that Einstein quote? The one about education ruining a persons imagination? I can dig it up. I have heard similar statements from other men, including noteworthy mathematicians. You might be confusing schooling with education.
Maybe it does not although you can find people who are willing to argue with that. But given the choice between being a decent human being and being a billionaire, I think you know which one is correct. I also think you know the one most people are choosing.
You did not anger anyone. I enjoy talking with people about things they are experiencing almost as much as I love combinatorics. I am just talking to you as another human being. Your post was interesting, so I responded.
My parents were poor and we lived in a ghetto, the Bedford Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn. Everyone is striving for a better future, but what if you do not make it? Most do not. A billionaire is a guy with too much money and a poor person is that same guy without enough.
You also left out my main point, the answer to your question. Over here alot of them are coming out with degrees they did not earn. They are not good, so they do not get any job other than what daddy can buy for them. When one of them is mistakenly hired he damages everyone.
When was that ever true? There is an old saying here. It is probably long forgotten,"it is not what you know but who you know." Luckily, there are other ways of being a success not just how big your office is or how big your car or how many people call you sir. In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them. No explanations, just DGA. If you can not overcome with talent...overcome with effort. #7 2012-01-17 15:19:26

Re: what has tertiary education turned into?Hi nevinsmith;
I have heard that quote many times and in many forms. Do they mean enormous in weight, excessivenes or volume?
I have already set the plans in motion. Just remember be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it.
I do too but society does not feel that way. I will tell you one thing we all can get from education, something they can not take away, an education!
Education, no matter how you get it is always worth it. Never pass up any chance to educate yourself, that is the real success. In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them. No explanations, just DGA. If you can not overcome with talent...overcome with effort. |

When I started working with the development team abroad, they suggested we use Basecamp to stay in synch. I had heard of the company 37 Signals but had never used any of their products so I was really blown away once we got the project up an running. The service includes a message board, shared task calendar, To Do List, a writeboard, and file sharing service and an easily to manage contacts list.
The team put all of our milestones into the system so now I can go to Basecamp, review the list of upcoming milestones and leave files and comments that I think are useful for the team. Once you upload or insert a new comment you have the option of notifying specific group members which is great because it avoids spamming those people who are not relevant to the update.
I think this software is really a brilliant way to manage a geographically separated group of people where transparency can obviously be difficult and it is hard to get clarity around what each person is doing. I seriously recommend Basecamp for anyone collaborating on not just software development, but anything that could require getting a group of people on to the same page.

Do You Know These Strategies for Improving Your Golf Swings?
But it can take awhile to get good at it. Continually working to improve your golf swing is one of the key factors to improving your game. The more you practice your swing, the better your game will be. To improve your golf swing, use the following tips.
Golfing is not like fishing, you don't want to flip your wrist when the ball makes contact with the club. It is instinct to flip your wrist but you want to resist this urge. It is important that you begin at contact with your wrist watch toward the ground so that during follow through your writs remains straight forward. Doing this will enable you to reduce your slice and keep your ball on target for a hole in one! It also puts the maximum strength behind the point of contact so that the ball will go farther.
Make sure to put your left knew out toward your target during the backswing motion. It is most likely that you will feel a bit of muscle tension not to mention a much more stable position in both knees. Doing this gets you into a proper stance and reduces the body turn many golfers experience during follow through. The best way to practice this is to try holding a basketball between your knees when you swing (or at least imagine that you need to keep one there). You will need this stance to show you how to draw from the strength you have in your leg muscles.
If you need to work on the swing power, then you need to use the leg and trunk muscles. Also, bear in mind always that your powerful swings are not due to having strong or powerful arms. It kind of seems that the arms are the seat of power, and that is a natural assumption made by new players. We advise against trying to hit with only the use of your arms because that's a good way to hurt yourself. You want to draw upon the strength in the rest of your body. This helps you maintain your stance. It protects your arms and wrists. If you keep at it, then you can have the kind of power and accuracy that will improve your game.
Golf is a great game. It is great for people of all ages. Small children can have fun golfing. Everybody needs to practice their golf swing to perfect it. It will take time and effort to develop for you to develop your golf swing.
The good news is there are lots of things you can do to improve your golf swing and your overall game. Having the right clubs, a good stance and a good attitude about the game, for example, are all things that you can do to improve your swing. If you want to improve your game even further, invest in high quality golf swing analysis software.

Transcription below:
Good morning, welcome to Cube Wrap for Friday the 31st of October, 2008. I am Michael Hevern for Cube Financial.
The information provided within this presentation is general advice only and you should consult the services of a financial professional in order to ascertain whether the information is applicable to your investment strategies and risk profile. Again, this is general advice only.
Dow managed to finish up for the session after trading thought 350 point range with the triple digits yet again after the Fed cut their the interest rates to 1%. The GDP figures were also released and they were down for the quota 0.3%, which giving the worst figures seen since 7 years since 2001. Endless to say there is expecting to further decline in 2009. Consumer spending was also recorded and seemed to be the worst since 1980s. We had the Kansas City Fed releasing manufacturing figures saying that they hit a records low; the figure was minus 23 in October, minus 9 in September and was the worst reading that they have seen in the 14 years history of the Kansas City Index manufacturing index. The 3 months dollar level also fell shortly this week, jumping to 3.1925 for Wednesday that compares to a peak of 4.82% on October 10, so not much good news on the economic front over there, but the market did struggled out somewhat and wasn't as bad as was expected.
We see also that in the NASDAQ, it was up 2.5% AMEX said that it will cut 10% of its work loss, that 7000 jobs, they are losing there and cutting as well another big companies in the US. The NASDAQ is seeing to be the biggest beneficiary in the economic revival. So, they have brought in through that downtrend line you can see there, similarly for the Dow. The Dow actually came into resistance today. The NASDAQ seems to have a bit more to go before it does reach the resistance levels.
We saw Apple up 6.2% and Intel up 8% on the session. They also benefited from a pullback in the oil price and airline index had surged 10% overnight. Exxon reversed its costs in the afternoon trading ending up 0.5% after it say that its profited exceeded expectations. Prudential was also the big mover on the day trading 18% after it released a significant quarterly loss. In rest of the market, we the New York stock exchange, four stocks eventual to every one. Finally, on the NASDAQ we saw 3 stocks rising for every one sale that is fairly broad based move there. It will be interesting to see whether we see that follow-through to night.
The UK saw that market up just over 1% stock to be 03 lows. The banks and miners actually moved, but that was despite below the commodities prices. We saw FTSE trading in a 150 point range and finishing that midpoint at that range. We also saw banks, Royal Bank of Scotland, HBOS, the Lloyds and Standard Chartered probably 24.4 and 10% on the session. Miners also held their own gain with Fin Data being the big mover up 16% on the session. We saw the BHP, Rio and GUSTAV all up 25 and 8% on the session.
Elsewhere, in the Europe we saw the French CAC up 0.2% and German DAX up 1.3%. The big news in the German market, Lloyd still inhabiting the Volkswagen its gone through a wild ride with short sellers and the short sellers aim that is something that hedge funds don't want to see at the moment they were shorting the stock and they were caught in the short squeeze as porche said that they would assist or take a 756% stake in Volkswagen.
Going forward we see in the Asia, the Nikkei up significantly there, the trade closing at 5 day, bouncing of the 82 lows. We can the Bank of Japan said that they would likely cut rates causing a soft front in the Yen which will help exporters. Talking 3 days ago that 7 past level. It was actually at 9000, closing just above the 9000 last night, so huge volatility there.
We saw elsewhere in Asia that Hong Kong shares were up 13% and Chinese shares were up 3% on the session. In commodities, we saw the oil price pulled back on stronger US dollar and as traders took profits following the 5 dollar move in the previous session. We also saw gold pullback 15 dollars at 739 and that was around at 2% on the session. That has been a firmer US dollar in the climbing oil prices. We also saw in the commodities, the silver was down 0.2%, copper down 10%, zinc and lead down 8% and 4% respectively, and aluminum and nickel down 4% and 12% respectively. So this has been a significant pullback in those spikes in the prices in the prices that has happened from the last 6 to 10 days.
In our market we will see a test of the resistance level there on that downtrend line and there will all the much momentum today. We had expiry yesterday so we saw abit of short coming there as options holders squared up positions before expiry and we may so a bit of a spike this morning but it will be pulled back this afternoon.
In the ADRs of interest to us include ANZ was up by 0.6%. NAB was actually down 3% and US BHP got up, was doing fine with the catch up there up 8% on the session. Rio was up 11% on the session. That was despite the pullback in the commodity prices, but that did happen towards the end of the session.
We saw the gold stocks index up 11% and the oil stocks index up 3.5%. BHP was up 5% saw the oil stocks index up 3% and gold stocks index up 4%. We saw Newmont up 8%. We had RIO up 5%. Chevron index were also up 5 and 0.5%, so a slight pullback in the commodities prices the share prices seemed to hold up. We saw ANZ was up 3% and actually NAB was also 7% on the session.
We see that miners, BHP and RIO expected a bit of a spike with exercise option, but may be we can see this pull off at the end of the day, it is Friday remember Westpac reached their figures before market yesterday. The net profit for the year was up 12%, the cash EPS was up 6% and they did double their allocation for debts. So they are already up 4% on the close, but it look like pretty good report. MRE in the news saying that the raising 210 billion dollars, going forward and there were up for previous session 38%. Fosters are also saying that they going to delay the spin off there of their warrant assets at the moment. ASX is likely to open up on the open but just be careful it is Friday. It will be profit taking, pretty good rate for the short term traders and be careful at that.

Chandra Wilson
Full name: Chandra Danette Wilson
Grey's character: Dr. Miranda Bailey
Nickname: The Nazi
Date of birth: August 27, 1969
Hometown: Houston, Texas
Currently residing in: New York, New York (we think)
Education: Houston's High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, then a BFA in drama from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts
Bet you didn't know... In 2009, Chandra joined the Broadway cast of Chicago as Matron "Mama" Morton. The actress has some serious pipes!
Chandra Wilson keeps her personal life personal — or maybe her performance as Dr. Miranda Bailey is so convincing and intimidating, everyone's afraid to ask! Details on Chandra's life are scarce, but from her career, it's clear she has an impressive résumé of accomplishments both on screen and on stage. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Chandra focused on honing her craft throughout her adolescence and into her 20s. Her first TV role was in the 2001 series Bob Patterson, which starred Jason Alexander after Seinfeld wrapped — the show was canceled after only five episodes. An accomplished singer, Chandra also developed a career in theater, depicting Bonna Willis in The Good Times Are Killing Me and appearing in the critically acclaimed musical Caroline, or Change.
In 2005, Chandra beat out Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth for the role of Dr. Miranda Bailey, who was originally envisioned as Caucasian and blonde. (Can you really picture anyone other than Chandra yelling at Seattle Grace's surgical interns? Didn't think so.) Bailey has been a constant favorite of both fans and critics: Chandra has received four consecutive Emmy nominations and won seven awards, including one Screen Actors Guild Award, two People's Choice Awards, and four Image Awards. But her skill isn't limited to acting: In 2010, Chandra made her directorial debut with the Grey's episode "Give Peace a Chance," for which she later won an Image Award Snap! Is there anything this woman can't do?

Live Truck Operator/Reporter
MARQUETTE COUNTY -- With the big snow storm looming, preparations are underway for road crews at the Marquette County Road Commission.
With the forecast calling for several inches Tuesday night, plus another six inches on Wednesday, the county road commission is insuring that all of their trucks and crew members are ready to go.
With over 1,000 miles of road to be cleared of snow, the crews know all too well how to get the job done.
"There is some exception when we get a multiple day snow event, but if it's one storm passes through then moves on, the people can expect within 24 hours we'll have them open up and moving," said Michael Harrington of the Marquette County Road Commission.
Harrington also says this year, ice has been a much bigger problem with the warmer winter and rainfall.
The road commission will be working in shifts to stay on top of the expected snowfall over the next few days.

The SR 410 detour provides a route around the Nile Valley landslide. Crews built a temporary detour route through the Nile Valley community.
OverviewOn Oct. 11, 2009, a massive landslide uplifted and destroyed a quarter mile of State Route 410 and changed the landscape and river dynamics of the Nile Valley forever. WSDOT and many other agencies established an emergency route around the landslide. In addition, Governor Gregoire tasked WSDOT and crews to build a temporary detour route which crews completed on Nov. 24, 2009. A new route along the toe of the landslide will be open to traffic fall 2012.
Partnerships & Cooperation WSDOT teamed up with the Nile Valley community, Yakima county and environmental agencies to complete this project.This project won numerous local, state and national awards for WSDOT's emergency response effort.

TEAM Santa Rosa Economic Development Council recently tabulated results from an industry survey but will have to start over after discovering glitches in the survey procedure.
Ildi Hoseman, public affairs director for TEAM, sent out a news letter Aug. 31 stating that the results were completed and boasted a key finding.
"TEAM has tabulated the results of our recent industry survey. Thanks to all those that participated! A key finding within the data proved exciting; the survey indicated that 85.7 (percent) of respondents would be hiring more people in the next 12 months," Hoseman said in the email. "On the down side, these same respondents said they are experiencing difficulty finding qualified candidates."

Students will read TIG profiles and Member Stories, with the objective of better understanding others? perspectives to critically reflect and write about their own identity.
Open University ethnomusicologist Martin Clayton describes how his study of music and its performance in different cultural settings has allowed him to develop his understanding of the concept of entrainment. His research into this phenomenon is providing key insights into the synchronisation of rhythmic processes in humans and in the natural world.
Toxic and Harmful Algal Blooms
These activities, in conjunction with Bigelow Laboratory's "Toxic and Harmful Algal Bloom" web site, will help your students gain a better understanding of toxic and harmful algal blooms.

The purpose of this resource is to identify a region for study as a system, and to establish a list of characteristics and features useful for determining the boundaries of regional systems. Students discuss their current understanding of what Earth systems are and how they work, and consider how to identify the boundaries of a region for Earth system study. In small groups, they select a region for recommendation to the class, and they make a list of characteristics and features that can mark t
Uniform convergence and pointwise convergence
The aim of this material is to introduce the student to two notions of convergence for sequences of real-valued functions. The notion of pointwise convergence is relatively straightforward, but the notion of uniform convergence is more subtle. Uniform convergence is explained in terms of closed function balls and the new notion of sets absorbing sequences. The differences between the two types of convergence are illustrated with several examples. Some standard facts are also discussed: a uniform

This package introduces the concepts of RIA and will be useful to a
NASA KSNN What does a scientist do?
Scientists share certain methods and approaches to understanding the nature of the world around them. They use a systematic approach to observing and studying the world. They ask questions, look for patterns, and try to find general rules for the way life works.

Identifying patterns is an important skill in understanding math and science. Patterns can be seen all around us. They are sometimes seen as repeating visual images or may be found as special arrangements of numbers in a list.
NASA KSNN How can objects be sorted?
Sorting things into categories is the first step in understanding nature. To sort items, you need to carefully observe them. This often leads to new insights into nature.

32 CFR 321.7 - Request for correction or amendment.
§ 321.7
Request for correction or amendment.
(a) General.
Upon request and proper identification by any individual who has been granted access to DSS records pertaining to himself or herself, that individual may request, either in person or through the mail, that the record be amended. Such a request must be made in writing and addressed to the Defense Security Service, Office of FOI and Privacy, 1340 Braddock Place, Alexandria, VA 22314-1651.
Description of the record. Requesters should specify the number of pages and documents, the titles of the documents, form numbers if there are any, dates on the documents and names of individuals who signed them. Any reasonable description of the document is acceptable.
Description of the items to be amended. The description of the passages, pages or documents to be amended should be as clear and specific as possible.
A direct quotation of all or a portion of the passage may be made if it isn't otherwise easily identifiable. If the passage is long, a quotation of its beginning and end will suffice.
In appropriate cases, a simple substantive request may be appropriate, e.g., 'delete all references to my alleged arrest in July 1970.'
If the requester has received a copy of the record, he may submit an annotated copy of documents he wishes amended.
Deletion or expungement, i.e., a complete removal from the record of data, sentences, passages, paragraphs or documents.
Correction of the information in the record to make it more accurate, e.g., rectify mistaken identities, dates, data pertaining to the individual, etc.
Reason for amendment. Requests for amendment must be based on specific reasons, included in writing. Categories of reasons are as follows:
Accuracy. Amendment may be requested where matters of fact are believed incorrectly recorded, e.g., dates, names, addresses, identification numbers, or any other information concerning the individual. The request, whenever possible, should contain the accurate information, copies of verifying documents, or indication of how the information can be verified.
Relevance. Amendment may be requested when information in a record is believed not to be relevant or necessary to the purposes of the record system.
Timeliness. Amendment may be requested when information is thought to be so old as to no longer be pertinent to the stated purposes of the records system. It may also be requested when there is recent information of a pertinent type that is not included in the record.
Completeness. Amendment may be requested where information in a record is incomplete with respect to its purpose. The data thought to have been omitted should be included or identified with the request.
Fairness. Amendment may be requested when a record is thought to be unfair concerning the subject, in terms of the stated purposes of the record. In such cases, a source of additional information to increase the fairness of the record should be identified where possible.
Other reasons. Reasons for requesting amendment are not limited to those cited above. The content of the records is authorized in terms of their stated purposes which should be the basis for evaluating them. However, any matter believed appropriate may be submitted as a basis of an amendment request.
Court orders and statutes may require amendment of a file. While they do not require a Privacy Act request for execution, such may be brought to the attention of DSS by these procedures.
(c) Assistance.
Individuals seeking to request amendment of records pertaining to themselves that are maintained by DSS will be assisted as necessary by DSS officials. Where a request is incomplete, it will not be denied, but the requester will be contacted for the additional information necessary to his request.

If you read and accept the typical Internet headlines on the gold price you will no doubt believe that if the US Federal Reserve and other central banks introduce more quantitative easing in the weeks and months ahead that will spur the gold price to new heights. It may well, but if that does happen an important question has to be: why will that occur?
Many reporters and commentators seem to link quantitative easing (as an ultimate cause) with in the end high rates of inflation (as the ultimate effect). Whether they do this or not, gold viewed as a "real money safe haven" – terms often used in connection with gold – has to viewed in those contexts as a "place to be invested" in the case of a cataclysmic financial event or series of events.
It follows, or so I think, that for the financial markets to price gold higher than it now is in the event of further quantitative easing is tantamount to those financial markets in essence saying "quantitative easing in the end will not result in long-term meaningful economic recovery" but rather "will contribute to continued economic decline."
This seems oxymoronic with quantitative easing also resulting in the financial markets generally in recent years stabilizing or improving from current levels. This is because in "good" theory "financial market values are at any given point in time "the present value of all future expectations." A very important question: Has financial market practice parted ways from sound market valuation theory? This is something to think very hard about.
While doing that you might want to consider:
Consider that the physical gold price arguably ought not to parallel the financial equity market indexes – short of purely being "traded on the same parameters." I suggest you think hard about this statement, and determine whether you agree with it.
Recall the negotiation story that suggests that when an American, in negotiation with Japanese businessmen, commented that they were really getting somewhere because they were thinking together "parallel" the Japanese businessmen immediately terminated negotiations. The reason – parallel lines never meet.

Dedicated by the Jacobs and Chill Families in Memory of Harold and Pearl JacobsDora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
Chukat - Shlishi
Rabbi Yitzchak Etshalom
"Listen up, you rebels!"
G-d told Moshe to take his staff and assemble the people by a certain rock. There, he was to speak to the rock in the people's presence and it would give forth water. Moshe took his staff and gathered the people, but then he went off-script.
"Listen up, you rebels!" he shouted. "Let's see if we can get water for you from this rock!" (Usually I point out that direct quotes are pretty loosely translated, but not here. That's pretty much exactly what he said.) Moshe struck the rock with the staff - twice - and water came gushing out.
G-d told Moshe and Aharon that they showed a lack of faith and failed to sanctify Him. As a result, they would not be bringing the nation into the land of Israel. The place where this incident occurred became known as Mei Meriva, "Waters of Dispute."
The question remains as to what precisely Moshe did wrong. The most obvious answer, cited by Rashi, is that he struck the rock, rather than speaking to it as instructed. (You may recall the Moshe was instructed to strike a rock under similar circumstances, way back in parshas Beshalach, Exodus chapter 17.) Another explanation is the Moshe lost his temper with the people, screaming "Listen up, you rebels!" when lack of water in the desert was a reasonable complaint. There are many other opinions. What they all have is common is that they seem like minor offenses. A person like Moshe, who was so close to G-d, was judged by a more exacting standard than most people, since people would scrutinize his every action. To utilize a metaphor, the cleaner the garment, the more obvious a tiny stain would be.

pedals you use, the more real estate you can lose to unwieldy wires or alternate power supplies. In addition, footswitches on the devices in that row of pedals furthest from your feet can be difficult to activate without hitting the knobs of pedals in the first row. Recently Stage Trix addressed this issue with its Pedal Riser (Street $11.99, stagetrixprod-ucts.com), which creates an elevated surface for pedals to create room underneath for wires.
Pedalboard manufacturers aren't unaware of these issues, and many take cable-routing considerations into their designs. Pedaltrain offer pedalboards in various sizes—including the PT-JR (Street $99, prostagegear.com)—and all feature an open-framed, angled construction that facilitates both easier activation of second-row pedals and unobtrusive routing of cables and power supplies. MKS Professional Stage Products takes a slightly different tack with its Pedal Pad MPS II Tour Series boards (Street $299.95–$349.95, pedalpad.com), which have a modular, stair-step-like design that uses interchangeable metal panels to let you arrange and fasten pedals in just about any configuration—including flat or angled.
Many pedalboards, including most of those discussed here, come with an option for a gigbag or hardshell case. A hardshell case virtually guarantees pedal safety, and it's the only real option if you're flying to a gig and need to check your pedalboard as baggage. However, keep in mind that a large
1. The Stage Trix Pedal Riser units let you raise stompboxes in the second row of your pedalboard for easier activation, and they also feature a center channel for neater cable routing.
2. The Furman SPB-8C measures 28. 5" x 20. 125" and features a hardshell case with wheels and an extendable handle, as well as 12 power outlets (eight 9-volt DC and four 120-volt AC).
3. The Pedaltrain PT-JR measures 17" x 12. 5" and features a lightweight metal frame that facilitates neat cable routing and is angled for easier activation of second-row pedals. It's also available with an ATA flight case.
4. The Pedal Pad Pro Series MPS II Tour Series Pedalboard's two-tiered design lets you attach your pedals (with Velcro) to individual metal plates that can be set flat or angled. Its hardshell, carpet-covered case also includes the Power Pad II power supply, which has eight 9-volt DC jacks and one 110-volt AC plug.
