FOMC Minutes Spark Un-Taper Unwind
Stocks are confused. The FOMC Minutes, which clarified that a) taper is on (no matter what almost), and b) forward guidance has been replaced by some fluffy words; have sent the USD higher, bond yields higher, and precious metals lower in 'classic' un-taper unwind mode. Stocks are holding (for now) as the USD strength (and implicit JPY weakness) is supporting US equities via the idiocy of the carry trade. VIX remains well bid and credit markets are blowing wider.
And stocks are confused as USD strength is being confused with JPY carry exuberance and holding stocks up here at VWAP...
Credit markets are not happy...

Fuck the Fed
Nope. The Fed is saying fuck us now cause they've reached the end of their ability to prop up this fuctarded banana republic any more!
I've been saying for months now the Big Banks who OWN the Federal Reserve ( yes OWN it you moe rons!) see Obozo lost all his political power so there's no reason to prop up his sorry ass now.
It's all over you mooks!
Our only real concern is for the safety of Jamie's bonus.
He's gone before ya know it soon!
the day obamacare died parody song
Hey Hilthy... What takes you so long to chew report for us?
I thought you could analyze 125923 page book in 20 seconds... No?
I view the fed as frantically pulling levers and pushing buttons in the derivatives market so that the financial markets appear calm. I expect they will continue to do this until it no longer works. I think it will be very interesting when that day comes.
The do seem to have some talent in the 'pulling & pushing' area though.
So was that "it" for the recent gold run? It's been languishing ever since Monday night.
Yeah I think so because honestly nothing that impacts phys gold has changed since the December low of $1180 something. What has really changed to support a sustained rise?
Chinese New Year was a blip in terms of purchases. Indian buying has fallen off the radar. Taper is slated to continue on as per today's FOMC minutes. Economy is in the crapper. Unemployment is shit. Housing starts are horrible. Retail spending is down. All of these have continued to remain the same since November when the first bad numbers for retail came out. Nothing has changed since then. What exactly HAS changed to support the rise in the past month? Just the USD falling? That's not fundamental enough to change the trend is it?
I'm no expert so I'm asking. I could be wrong.
The gold worshipers keep trying to ignore what their deity is telling them.
Glod is predicting deflation. But his followers are too obsessed with inflation to hear.
>> Glod is predicting deflation
So that's what all those massive, instantaneous dumps in the slow hours were all about? Somebody didn't care how much they lost on the trade, they were only trying to let us little people know deflation was about. That was real swell of them.
What is the price of the loss of reserve currency status?
Do you understand? The fantasy must continue at any cost.
The cost of controling the gold market is a pittance compared to the ability to print (and use) multiple trillions of worthless fiat.
This is why I sold Glod and bought gold.
Glad to be ought of my glod position. Phew. Thanks.
In a technical sense gold should make some sort of attempt to return to $1280, which should now be support. If it can't get back down to ~1280, that would be very bullish.
The only reliable gold indicator worth following is the amount of physical left in the system.
As Rob Kirby has said 'this ends when China doesn't get its gold'.
The hoard at GLD is now down to 800 tons. It was 1350 a year ago and has lost inventory every single month since then. This collection of bricks dwarfs the Comex. It is the final weapon against the collapse of the dollar as a reserve. If the big guys can not get gold when they demand it....well they had better or oil won't ship and China won't produce. All producers will and have always, demanded real stuff for their real stuff. Sure they accept currency if they can spend it. Any excess over what they can spend and believe it.....they are doing you a favor. It does them little good to be paid interest on treasuries if they do not believe they will ever be able to spend those treasuries. Ultimately they must have a savings vehicle that will endure. On a long time horizon paper promises are never kept. Better for them and for us to save in the way that has worked for 5000 years, gold. They know this and so do we.
Watch the GLD inventory. When it is gone (or maybe sooner) Rob Kirby will start looking pretty smart.
Nothing to worry, markets will do their best, sic dixit bernankus
Young Ivy league graduates are avoiding working for Wall St like the plague!
1 in 6 are going to work for "Teach For America"
Watch this interview on CNBC - the zombie anchors are in horror! The old guys go on the full frontal attack -the younger anchors are listening though.
"After the Occupy Movement - "I never really thought of my job in moral terms before" said a young Goldman trader."
Who said the Occupy Movement had no effect? That's why it was crushed.
Wall St has been exposed - has lost all it's cache - and appeal to the younger generations.
"There is one group of graduates that are still highly motivated to work on Wall St - those that graduate with massive student debt." Well that says it all - they HAVE to sell their souls to the devil.
His book is #12 on Amazon's best sellers list.
I'm dubious. The number of sociopaths in society shouldn't have changed.
There will always be a job for the sociopaths, somewhere. If they aren't going to Wall Street, politics, advertising, sales, or religion where are they going?
I'd be more worried about not knowing where they are.
As well as the hard line sociopaths there will be those who follow them, as well as the borderline cases.
Then there's the question; nature or nurture?
Looks like the bulls drew a line in the sand at S&P 1836 and it held. Given this strength even with a full taper, it's hard to see how stocks don't rise from here. BTFD
Oops! VIX bid, credit and gold slammed. Support failed to hold. Ought to be an interesting last 45 minutes to see if the bulls can regain 1836.
Stocks go up until the black swan poops on the party.
I don't understand where the money is going.
-yields going up means bonds are down
-stocks are down
-gold is down
I would expect at least one of them to benefit from this.
High end real-estate in Tuscany? Private jets?
When too many are overextended on margin everything can definitely go down at once, and fast. That's when you really want to be the smart one who saved some dry powder for just such an opportunity.
Didn't you watch "The Matrix"?
- "Only try to realise the truth."
- "What truth?"
- "There is no money."
Monkey hammer the gold while they can.
30 yr rates ... jump my babies, jump. Please pass 4%. I want to buy into a lt bond fund, collect a little safe interest, reap big cap gains when the flight to safety returns. Being an old bum, I want safe(ish) yield and want to finally buy into a safe(ish) LT non-govt bond fund and retire with income. This last part will happen with the liquidity crisis to come when europe and japan give in. Expecting a big temp dip in prices when panic ensues.
Credit is not happy?
That's called CRappy.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) -- Cloudy weather is in the forecast again as firefighters try to control a 28 square-mile blaze in Montana that has forced the evacuation of at least 200 homes.
Yesterday (08/05) the wind was largely blowing the blaze back onto itself, and fire information officer Pat Cross expects the fire to "behave again."
The fire northeast of Missoula and several others in Montana caused Governor Brian Schweitzer to declare a state of emergency yesterday.
In northwestern Montana, about 50 homes ahead of a fire in the Flathead National Forest have been evacuated. Officials say residents to the north also may be evacuated if the fire continues growing.

Hi all...
So I'm running a test server right now for my company. I've built and run a Zimbra server before so I wouldn't say I'm *too* wet behind the ears when it comes to this stuff...
...however, today, when sending mail from my Zimbra test server to a known-good user on our current horde-based mail service, I instantly get a bounceback from the Zimbra server saying that the mail was undelivered. Below is the header from that message...perhaps someone could give me a hand in isolating the issue?

Numerous additional routes can be found throughout the centre with superb technical and challenging climbing on gently overhanging and vertical climbing walls.
Our new bouldering area includes a full overhanging arch and offers a large array of climbing on a variety of angles, from vertical to very steep indeed. Further development of the bouldering areas is ongoing and will see the construction of a huge bouldering area beneath the existing mezzanine due for completion in Autumn 2012 in time for the start of the Winter Bouldering Aggregate, and set to include an 11m long and 5m wide bouldering 'routing roof' that will allow route style forearm pump sans harness. The dedicated kids' bouldering area encourages even the youngest children to get involved and features a colourful low level traverse wall and the delightfully named Tommy the Elephant.
Climbing for many of us isn't just about keeping fit and training and we have injected a huge amount of fun into the new Beacon Climbing centre with the inclusion of the World's first CrazyClimb installation. Weird, wacky and incredibly good fun, CrazyClimb at Beacon Climbing Centre offers 11 unique climbing challenges each using a convenient TruBlue autobelay system.

Oct. 11, 2013
IOWA CITY, Iowa-- After its first ever appearance at the Windon Memorial Classic in Lake Forest, Ill., Iowa had three weeks to prepare for a familiar tournament: the Rod Myers Invitational in Durham, N.C.
The Hawkeyes won the inaugural tournament in 2010 behind top-10 finishes from Vince India and Brad Hopfinger. In 2011, then-sophomore Steven Ihm finished runner-up in the event, leading Iowa to a fourth place finish. Ian Vandersee and Brian Bullington also participated in the event as freshmen, placing 36th and 38th respectively. Iowa placed fifth in the 2012 Rod Myers Invitational, and was and again led by Ihm, who placed 10th.
Four of the five golfers in the Hawkeye lineup for this weekend's tournament played in 2012, and three played in 2011. The familiarity with the course, as well as the stretch of favorable Iowa weather over the past three weeks, has the Hawkeyes feeling good about their chances in Durham.
"I've been putting everything together the past couple weeks," said Ihm. "I'm looking forward to getting back to Duke's golf course. I really like that place."
Junior Ian Vandersee, who will see his first action of the year this weekend, said he and his teammates have been itching to get back into action.
"As a team, I think we all had a good few weeks off from tournament play," he said. "Everyone's put a lot of time in, and we've been focused on the right things. I'm excited to see what we're capable of."
Vandersee, who improved his 2011 score by nine strokes last season, is looking to kick of his junior season with a solid performance at a customary venue. "I'm excited to get back at it. I haven't played in a tournament this year. I'm getting my game in order, and it's starting to come around," he said.
Senior Ryan Marks, junior Brian Bullington, and freshman Carson Schaake complete the Iowa lineup.
Despite having no experience in a collegiate golf tournament, Schaake insists that he is confident and primed to perform at a high level. The Omaha, Neb., native had a very successful prep career, ranking first in the state of Nebraska and 24th in the nation for the class of 2013 on the National Junior Golf Scoreboard.
"We've been battling it out in qualifying the past couple days, and I was finally able to get it done," Schaake said. "I've got high expectations. I'm going there to shoot the lowest score I can, and I'm ready to play."
Coach Mark Hankins said the extra time off allowed the team to play more qualifying rounds, something the seventh-year head coach said is beneficial for a talent-laden team like the Hawkeyes.
"One of the things with scheduling is that it sometimes isn't timely," he said. "(The break) allowed some guys to make some changes, and I think we're really close to being ready. We should be really competitive at Duke."

Lawyer Falls For Internet Brokerage Scam, Receives Public Censure
"We note that the internet can be a source of useful information. Unfortunately, not everything on the internet is reliable." - In the Matter of Donald F. DeCiccio.
Here's an interesting disciplinary action out of Rhode Island last month: the story begins when attorney Donald DeCiccio read about an opportunity online:
Through friends and internet research he became aware that attorneys could offer their services, and be paid a fee, to act as an "attorney pay master" to facilitate certain types of commodities transactions. In essence, as understood by the respondent, an attorney pay master acts as an escrow agent who receives and holds the funds due to a commodities broker and then disburses the funds to the broker upon receiving confirmation that the funds have been earned. The attorney pay master receives a fee for acting as this escrow agent.
DeCiccio pursued this opportunity, and started a website to facilitate this venture. He was soon contacted by one "Rajat Ohri", about whom the recent Rhode Island Supreme Court opinion notes:
Whether "Rajat Ohri" is a real person, a real person whose identity had been misappropriated, or is a fictitious name is unclear from the record. For purposes of this order we will refer to "Ohri" as that is how he was known to the respondent. We draw no conclusion that a real person by that name was actually involved in this matter.
"Ohri" – in quotes – sought to use DeCiccio's services as an attorney pay master, and after a "cursory investigation", DeCiccio agreed. To his credit, at the time he asked the State Bar's Disciplinary Counsel for advice as regards the ethics of conducting such online brokerage. To his discredit, he decided to continue despite Counsel's "strong[] recommend[ation] that he not engage in these services". Over the course of thirteen months, fifteen different deposits were made into DeCiccio's client account, totaling almost $3.5 million. Per the agreement, he then transferred this money to various offshore bank accounts at "Ohri's" instruction, earning himself a tidy commission of $68,734. During this time:
The respondent made no effort to determine whether Ohri was entitled to receive these funds, and did not question the legitimacy of these transactions.
Eventually the penny dropped, and DeCiccio found out that "Ohri was defrauding other individuals and was using the respondent's client account to facilitate that fraud." He - and his malpractice insurer – have deposited money into a fund to pay some of the victims' fraud, and now comes the matter of his ethics investigations. The Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court had already found DeCiccio guilty of violating ethics rules, and last month the Supreme Court itself agreed. Not surprisingly, it was the comingling of funds in the client account that garnered the most attention, with the court concluding that "[a] clearer breach of fiduciary duty would be difficult to imagine."
DeCiccio's one piece of good fortune was that the Court found that his "conduct resulted from a lack of judgment rather than evil intent", and so he received a public censure. A powerful sanction, for sure, but it could have been a lot more severe considering he asked for, and then ignored, formal ethical advice. The quotation we pasted at the top of this post provides words for all of us – attorney or not – to live by.

I'm always amused at the way many people on Crash write off NASCAR. I'm old enough that the first race I ever attended was to watch Mike Hailwood at Aberdare Park in1958 so maybe I've picked up a thing or two over the years. I watch a wide variety of motorsports including NASCAR, WSBK, MotoGP and moto-cross and those of you who think NASCAR is easy need to get yourselves to a race and find out how impressive it is and how difficult it is to set up a car and deal with changing track conditions over the course of a long race. Some real racing fans get this but so many don't have a clue how hard it is to be successful in ANY top level form of racing. The commitment required is way beyond anything most can imagine. If you should decide to attend a NASCAR race you will be amazed at how accessible the drivers are and how much value you get for your buck (or Pound or Euro or whatever) I'm a long time Rossi fan but love the skill level of ALL the riders and I'm truly impressed at Marquez.

It wasn't a century or any organized ride. I went out for 50 or so and got carried away as the weather was perfect today.
I did notice one difference between a longish ride on the FG vs a geared bike. It seems easier to rest/re adjust my rear while coasting down hill or up to a stop. I can easily stand and pedal on the FG but it's not the same. Part of the issue may have been I've not gone longer than 50 miles since July so I'm not toughened back up yet.
I rode a 30 mile group ride on Saturday and the longish ride on Sunday. I choose the F.G. for both, I'm beginning to wonder why I own a geared bike. I think the answer is for all out speed over distance I'm a bit quicker on the geared bike but, I'm choosing the F.G. more and more.
Anyway if you've got a F.G. and haven't taken a longish ride on it, go for it!

I've been looking for a bike for a few weeks now, which has been challenging because I'm short and I don't know much about bikes. I found this posting on craigslist and don't have anyone to ask about it. Is it worth $80 or $100? I emailed the person and they said it rides well and has all original components but could use new tires. I know that it has down tube shifters, which is not really ideal for uncoordinated me. Would it be worth it to buy it and covert the down tube shifters? Here's the posting:
Any advice is greatly appreciated. If this isn't the place to post this, let me know and I'll delete it. Thanks!

Press pouts about Obama access [Darleen Click]
Oh, poor puppies!
The White House press corps on Sunday expressed frustration with the lack of access given to President Obama this weekend, during his trip to Florida.
White House Correspondents Association President Ed Henry released a statement Sunday evening, saying that the press corps had not been given adequate access to the president and that the group would press for "transparency" in the future, according to a pool report.
"Speaking on behalf of the White House Correspondents Association, I can say a broad cross section of our members from print, radio, online and TV have today expressed extreme frustration to me about having absolutely no access to the President of the United States this entire weekend," said Henry. "There is a very simple but important principle we will continue to fight for today and in the days ahead: transparency."
Just take a break, guys, from humping Obama's leg and relax. I'm sure Jay Carney will meet with you soon to pat your head and give you a cookie.

Several large retail construction projects are reaching completion or getting started in Sonoma County this year in Petaluma, Sebastopol and Windsor.
From early financing challenges to local opposition to the original 300-home concept to two fires during construction, the redevelopment of the former Barlow Co. apple-processing plant at the eastern gateway to Sebastopol has faced a number of challenges. Construction on 96,000 square feet in 11 new industrial and retail oriented buildings that are part of The Barlow business park (707-824-5600, thebarlow.net) started early last year and reached shell completion early this year.
"Tenants are in the midst of tenant improvements," said April Karr, marketing director.
The first of the couple of dozen signed tenants set to move in to the new space was Kosta Browne Winery's crush operation, which made it in time for the mammoth 2012 harvest. The first public-facing tenant presence is a tasting room for La Follette Wines, which was set to open in mid-March. Several more are scheduled to open in mid-April and the rest are set for tenant-improvement completion throughout this year.
The complex contains beverage production facilities such as longtime tenant Guayaki Yerba Mate plus soon-to-open Spirit Works Distillery, Wind Gap Wines, Woodfour Brewing Co., Warped Brewing Co. and Taylor Maid Farms coffee roaster and tea supplier.
Two buildings that burned down in the fire were being rebuilt last week. MacPhail Winery has a production facility going into one. In the other, newcomer Freeman Wines is set to have a tasting room in a couple thousand of the 12,000-square-foot structure.
[gallery link="file" order="DESC" columns="2"]Two new regional malls in Petaluma
Dirt is set to start moving in early May on the 36.5-acre, 315,000-square-foot Deer Creek Village (415-693-9000, deercreekproject.com) shopping and professional office project site between Highway 101 and North McDowell Boulevard and south of Rainier Avenue, according to Greg Geertsen, a partner with project owner Merlone Geier Partners of San Francsico.
That would clear the way for construction to start in June on a 130,000-square-foot Friedman's Home Improvement store, lumber shed and garden center to anchor the $65 million project. Three smaller retail buildings along North McDowell as well as improvements to Deer Creek, which runs across the northern quarter of the site, a dog park and trail would be built at the same time as the Friedman's store.
"We're happy to get started there," Mr. Geertsen said. Midstate Construction of Petaluma has been estimating costs, and bids on the site work is set to open in early April.

Gosh, we get so caught up in the numbers -the meaningless numbers- don't we?
The miles, the speed, elevation, grade, cadence, heart rate...
OK, may be that last one isn't so meaningless. Not for me, anyway.
Sometimes we forget the sheer joy of just... duh... riding
I needed new brifters on my LeMond. Couldn't really sell it with busted brifters.
$300 later they're all fixed. But... I can't get that money back.
It's not like I can pass the cost on, right?
So all I can do, really, is get my 300 bucks' worth out of 'em and the kind of eat the cost.
I've been riding the Reno quite a lot around town lately but since I was selling it, I stripped off the computer and now I ride with no concept of any of those numbers.
I'm just riding to ride and, you know, I'm kind of enjoying it more.
No computer to look at; I just look more at my surroundings.
No miles to count, no "here-to-there" to worry about so I just go where ever on a whim.
I just keep a pace that feels comfortable.
I needed an easier ride today after yesterday's double climb of Sharp Park Road so I just did what felt good. It's nice. I like it.
Riding just to ride. What a concept.
I'm also rediscovering that the LeMond is a nice bike.
I'm kind of getting to know it all over again.
Heck, it's already all paid for (as is the Giant) so why was I looking to sell it?
The Giant needn't worry, though... it's in noooo jeopardy, at all.
There's a reason -a very apparent reason- why it was double the price tag of the LeMond.

If this connection is lost, you can just open a new tunnel, with ssh -f -N -L 127.0.0.1:LPORT:HOST:RPORT SERVER (or whatever the Windows equivalent). Precisely the same call as you used to start the first tunnel. The Notebook may lose *websocket* connections (execution, output) when the tunnel goes down, but you should at least be able to do things like save the notebook after re-establishing the tunnel and then refresh the page to get new websocket connections. This is one of the things that is probably better in current master than 0.13.1 - websockets will reconnect automatically, and if the reconnect fails you get a dialog that lets you reconnect manually.

The real solution is to fix whatever erroneous configuration is killing these connections. If you don't trust your connection, the best workaround is what I alluded to above: 1. submit tasks in a single session 2. record the msg_ids associated with that work in some persistent way (files, in the notebook itself, etc.) 3. retrieve results from the Hub via msg_ids (or filesystem, or anything else).

All politics is local
International | The United States has been watching Afghanistan, but hot spots elsewhere deserve a squint
It took mathematicians and computers more than a century to come up with an equation proving that only four colors are needed to mark countries on a world map where bordering countries never have the same color. It took President George Bush mere days to offer a new theorem. In the post-9/11 world, mapmakers need only black and white: "You are either for us or against us," the president said.
Tracing out that sort of dichromatic scheme does not make it reality on the ground. The events of Sept. 11 changed everything on the world stage, but in the streets it is sometimes a different story. The battle for Macedonia and AIDS in Africa did not go away that Tuesday; we just quit talking about them. For many nations the new line in the sand failed to rub out the old order. For them, ethnic strife, religious persecution, civil war, poverty, and corruption cloud which side of the terrorism war they are really on.
An old struggle gained new attention in Afghanistan's neighbors Pakistan and India. India claims Pakistan is behind an attack on the Indian Parliament on Dec. 13 that killed 14. In response, the Hindu-led government of Atal Behari Vajpayee is mounting the largest mobilization of troops along its 1,100-mile border with Pakistan since it fought the Muslim-dominated country 30 years ago.
One million Indian troops were stationed there on Jan. 1, including infantry and armored divisions, along with fighter aircraft and bombers. India moved its only aircraft carrier, six other ships, and two submarines into positions in the Arabian Sea within striking distance of Pakistani territory.
The buildup came in spite of American and British diplomacy aimed at reassuring India that their war next door could alleviate India's longstanding disputes with Pakistan. Secretary of State Colin Powell added to the U.S. list of outlawed organizations two Pakistan-based groups India believes are behind the December attacks. Mr. Bush also sought to reassure Mr. Vajpayee with news that Pakistan had arrested 50 "extremists or terrorists."
The Indian prime minister was unmoved. He said charges against those arrested were too vague and hinted that he could fight his own war. "Our objective is to put an end to Pakistan-sponsored cross-border terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir and the rest of the country," he told a gathering of his own party.
Meanwhile, Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf must decide whether to move troops to the border with India or maintain forces along the border with Afghanistan, where their presence could be essential to capturing key al-Qaeda leaders, including Osama bin Laden. The standoff with India only highlights concern that Pakistan is too infused with its own radical Islamic elements to be a tried-and-true partner in the war on terrorism.
Other borders are hot. North Korean border guards last month fired three shots across the DMZ, the tense border zone with South Korea. It was the first shooting incident along the zone in more than three years. South Korean troops returned fire, but official U.S. reaction was muted. Later the southern forces, together with the U.S. military contingent, discovered that the shots were fired from a machine gun banned under the armistice agreement that ended the Korean War.
Communist officials in Pyongyang seemed to be measuring the American attention span. "If the U.S. imperialists try to test their logic of strength on [North Korea], as they are using it against some countries, they will be annihilated to the last man," read one official December commentary.
Elsewhere the war on terrorism colors internal strife. Under U.S. pressure, Kenyan police launched a series of raids targeting the country's Muslim community centered in the coastal city of Mombasa. They believe it harbors terrorist cells connected to al-Qaeda and is a transit point for South Asian drug traffickers.
Kenya arrested 50 prominent Muslim leaders, including the head of the National Muslim Youth party and a well-known businessman. But Muslims comprise a significant portion of Kenya's middle class and figure prominently in national politics; when the FBI wanted to extradite those arrested, Mombasa's High Court issued an injunction to prevent it.
Meanwhile, civil war again looms in Somalia, where clan warfare prompted the United States to send troops 10 years ago. A fledgling government lost a no-confidence vote in October. Two weeks ago fighting between rival militias killed 22 and injured civilians in a downtown Mogadishu meat market. Rival warlords, long associated with bin Laden operations, are racing for legitimacy as an antidote to being the next target in the U.S.-led war.
Even European allies are discovering political risks at home. Germany has arrested hundreds of suspects in connection with the Sept. 11 attacks, but its war on terror forced Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder into a no-confidence vote late last year. A Social Democrat who depends on the leftist Green Party in his coalition, Mr. Schroeder lost its support after he activated 4,000 German soldiers for combat duty outside Europe for the first time since World War II. He won by just two votes.
Eager to show whose side they are on, army chiefs from Southeast Asia announced that they will hold multilateral war games as part of a coordinated response to a potential terrorist attack. They also signed a declaration on terrorism that for the first time binds them to share intelligence information.
These are the kinds of steps that earn brownie points in the war on terrorism. But they paper over problems at home. Half of the Association of Southeast Asian partners-Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar (also known as Burma), and Vietnam-are blacklisted by the U.S. International Religious Freedom Commission for their persecution of Christians.
Laos increased its own internal campaign against Christian believers just as the world turned its attention to terrorism. Local officials notified teachers last September that they must renounce Christianity in order to keep their jobs. Those who refused have been told to expect layoffs.
Indonesia attracted worldwide attention when Muslim fighters surrounded and attacked Christian communities in Sulawesi with threats of a "bloody Christmas." The confrontation cooled when an elite Indonesian army unit moved in and disarmed some of the fighters. Police forces once loath to crack down on the Muslim-led violence are under new pressure to isolate radical Islamic elements. Doing so without undermining political stability is the new challenge.
It is a challenge also confronting international peacekeepers in the Balkans. They have been reluctant to investigate recent fires that have destroyed at least 30 religious sites in Macedonia, including 14th-century frescoes. Brittle peace between Serbs and ethnic Albanians gained a new dimension after Sept. 11. There is at least some evidence that some of the mostly Muslim Albanians-defended by U.S. forces in Kosovo and now by international peacekeepers-received training and support from al-Qaeda.
Macedonia's Serb-led forces claim the ethnic Albanian fighters draw from mujahedeen troops who are veterans of conflicts in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Chechnya. During a guerrilla offensive last May, Macedonian forces say they came under fire from U.S.-made Stinger anti-aircraft missiles the guerrillas acquired from Afghanistan.
Guerrilla forays post-9/11 are branded "terrorist attacks." But peacekeepers are also careful to put demands on the Serb authorities and to overlook religious strife. Defining the conflict on religious grounds risks reigniting it.
Those elements cannot be ignored, according to religious freedom advocates. "Religious freedom and human rights must be an essential part of any campaign against terror," said Larry Goodrich, spokesman for the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. "They are not luxuries to be dispensed with in this campaign."
Mr. Goodrich admits that the sweeping effort to bring nations into the anti-terror coalition "changes the equation." But it should not end scrutiny over other abuses. "It doesn't mean we suddenly forget about our values," he said. "But there are those in the administration who would argue that the war on terrorism trumps everything. We do not."
While fighting terror remains Job No. 1 everywhere, folks like Mr. Goodrich want to make sure other hot spots don't simply fade to gray.

Bouillabaisse with Spicy Rouille
From EatingWell: January/February 2007
This famous Provencal stew was traditionally a catchall for fishermen's catch of the day. Our version uses ocean-friendly calamari, tilapia and scallops.
Makes: 6 servings, about 1 1/3 cups each
Active Time:
Total Time:
Nutrition Profile
Diabetes appropriate | Low calorie | Low saturated fat | Heart healthy | Healthy weight | High potassium | Gluten free |View Our Nutrition Guidelines »
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 leeks, white parts only, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced and thoroughly washed
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed
- 4 plum tomatoes, diced
- 2 large red potatoes, cut in 1/2-inch dice
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 2 8-ounce bottles clam juice
- 1 cup water
- 2 4-inch strips orange peel, (see Tip)
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 Pinch saffron, (see Tip)
- 8 ounces tilapia fillets, cut into thirds
- 8 ounces large dry sea scallops, (see Tip), halved
- 8 ounces cleaned, sliced calamari (squid) tubes and tentacles, (see Tip)
- Spicy Rouille, (recipe follows)
This recipe calls for:
- Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add leeks, celery, garlic and fennel seed and cook, stirring often, until the leeks are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomatoes and potatoes; cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes begin to break down, about 4 minutes. Add wine, increase heat to high, bring to a boil, and cook, stirring often, until reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Add clam juice, water, orange peel, bay leaves and saffron and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are just tender, about 15 minutes.
- Carefully submerge tilapia and scallops in the soup, return to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Add calamari, submerge in the soup, and continue cooking until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Discard orange peel and bay leaves. Serve the soup with a spoonful of Spicy Rouille on top.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 1. Cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day. Reheat and proceed with Step 2.
- Tips: Bottled clam juice can be very high in sodium. We like Bar Harbor brand, which has 120 mg sodium per serving. Look for it in the canned-fish section or the seafood department of your supermarket.
- Use a vegetable peeler to easily remove strips of the outer orange peel (zest), leaving the bitter white pith behind.
- Saffron is the dried stigma of a saffron crocus. It contributes a pungent flavor and intense yellow color to classic dishes like paella. Saffron is sold in threads and powdered form.
- We prefer cooking with dry sea scallops (not treated with sodium tripolyphosphate, or STP). Scallops that have been treated with STP (wet scallops) have been subjected to a chemical bath and are not only mushy and less flavorful, but will not brown properly.
- Calamari, also known as squid, is sold frozen or fresh in the seafood department of the grocery store. Look for cleaned calamari, with its cartilage and ink removed; otherwise ask at the fish counter to have it cleaned.

Today sees the release of the James McAvoy and Mark Strong-starring "Welcome To The Punch," and as you'll know if you've read our review, it's a slick, unusually ambitious, gorgeous-looking and absorbing British cops-and-robbers flick. It's also the latest film (with Danny Boyle's even better "Trance" following sharp on its heels next week) to prove that our cousins across the pond can take on the crime movie with the best of them.
U.K. crime cinema doesn't necessarily have the immediate iconography or obvious movements of the 1930s Warner Bros gangster pictures, film noir of the 1940s, the Coppola and Scorsese epics of the 1970s and 1980s, or the quirky comedies from the Coens and Tarantino in the 1990s. But there's a long history of thieves, robbers, murderers and more in British movies, in a variety of films that may have flown under your radar. And so with "Welcome To The Punch" on VOD and in limited released, and "Trance" on the way next week, we thought it was a perfect time to pick out some of our favorite crime pictures from the Sceptred Isle. Read our picks below, and let us know your own favorites in the comments section.
We hope we wouldn't have to say this, but if you're after a cinematic take on Graham Greene's seminal novel "Brighton Rock," you should run a million miles from the recent, impressively-cast (Sam Riley, Andrea Riseborough, Helen Mirren, John Hurt) but ill-conceived remake, and stick with the 1947 original. Richard Attenborough (reprising the role that brought him to fame on the West End stage a few years earlier) stars as Pinkie, a fresh-faced psychopath in a gang in the coastal town of the title, who finds himself rising up the ranks after killing a newspaper reporter. To avoid the rap, he marries besotted waitress (and witness to the crime) Rose (Carol Marsh) to stop her from being able to testify against him, but with the law and rival gangs closing in, Pinkie decides he might have to take more drastic action. Penned by Greene and "The Deep Blue Sea" author Terrence Rattigan, and directed by the somewhat forgotten filmmaker John Boulting, it's one of the seminal, and probably earliest, examples of the British gangster film (retitled, for its U.S. release, "Young Scarface," marking quite the contrast with its earlier namesake), melding Boulting's fine, almost proto-noirish sense of place, the seedy underworld of the picturesque seaside locale, with Greene's ever-simmering Catholic moralism. It's stylishly made and dark as you like, but what really stands out is the astonishing, terrifying bug-eyed turn from Attenborough, a million miles away from the avuncular star of "Jurassic Park" and director of "Gandhi" he'd become in later years. Attenborough became one of the most important figures in the British film industry, but this acting role is the one he'll always be remembered for.
This cool neo-noir follows the aspiring writer Jack Manfred (Clive Owen), who ends up taking a job as a casino croupier in order to make ends meet, which leads him both to juggling three women -- a store detective (Gina McKee), a fellow croupier (Kate Hardie), and a high-rolling South African gambler (Alex Kingston) -- and being the inside man of a heist of his workplace set up by the latter. It's pretty thin on plot, or even much in the way of the staples of the genre, but makes up for it with lashings of atmosphere, a realistic and lived-in sense of the world, and most of all, the casting of Clive Owen -- in his breakout feature film role -- who commands the movie in a lead turn that's both suave and self-aware. Owen's narration -- taken from the thinly-veiled novel he's writing, gives it echoes of both classic crime fiction, and a more complex examination of narrative. It mostly disappeared when it debuted in the U.K. in 1998, but became a critical darling in the U.S. two years later, earning a devoted following and placing on the National Board Of Review list of top ten films for 2000. So all in all, a fine return to the genre for Mike Hodges, who perhaps made the seminal British crime film with "Get Carter" (see below), and he reteamed with Owen soon after for the lesser, but still worthwhile "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead."
If you're looking to find a fairly unusual "British Crime" film that barely fits into this motley crew of movies, Ben Wheatley's debut, "Down Terrace," could be the one. As English as Marmite, "Down Terrace" can seem like an acquired taste with its pitch black and Sahara-dry humor, mixed with truly disturbing and purposefully banal sequences, but when it connects, "Down Terrace" is wicked, and wickedly funny. A dysfunctional family film centered around murder and betrayal, set in Down Terrace in Brighton, the movie chronicles the Hill family, who soon unveil themselves to be genteel sociopaths and criminals. Upon release from prison Bill (Robert Hill), his son Karl (his real life son Robin) and his wife Maggie (Julia Deakin) decide they should try and flush out who ratted on the two criminals. This doesn't really mean bloody recriminations (at least not at first) and but more the very English manner of bringing friends and suspects over for tea and dinner to talk. One by one, associates are politely dispensed with and Karl -- who has recently learned he is going to be a father -- begins to fray and come unhinged, wanting to leave this life of crime behind to just become a good dad. Featuring the use of hilariously ironic folk music and blues (Karen Dalton, Robert Johnson), much of the humor in the film is derived by the absurd mundanity of the situations (the Hills arguing with a friend to come out of a bathroom so they can let him go, deciding he's not a culprit, only to kill him anyway). It's not quite as accomplished as Wheatley's other films, "Kill List" and "Sightseers," but it's brilliant in spots and certainly announced the arrival of fresh new voice in English cinema, who has risen to be one of the best indie auteurs we've got at the moment.
Much more a psychopath film or even a twisted serial killer movie, "Gangster #1" still obviously applies here, as it's set in the London's crime world in the 1960s. Bookended by a much older version of said numero uno gangster in the present day (played by Malcolm McDowell), "Gangster #1" opens up with some old, fatcat gangsters watching a boxing game, when one of them mentions that Freddie Mays is finally getting out of jail. This triggers an angry and upset McDowell's trip down memory lane, which forces the narrative to flashback to the younger version of this top dog (now played by Paul Bettany) in the 1960s. The film then charts the rise of the anonymous gangster as he becomes muscle for the influential London gangster Freddie Mays (David Thewlis). But "Gangster #1" has much more on its mind than your typical crime film and the movie chronicles our lead's mad obsession with Freddie's power, wealth and status, to the point of wanting not just to become him, but to inhabit his soul. "Persona" for the gangster set? Maybe, as it's just as much a picture about identity and rivalry as anything else. Directed by Paul McGuigan ("The Acid House," "Lucky Number Slevin"), while "Gangster #1" looks appropriately vintage and does feature strong, unhinged performances by McDowell and Bettany (who became a star off the back of the film), that might be the only thing the movie does right other than its off-the-rails psychopath sequences that are as if Alex from "Clockwork Orange" grew up to be not only a raving loon, but a monstrous sociopath as well. Marred by constant, unnecessary voice over from McDowell, "Gangster #1" just slathers it all on, never really takes a break in tone or defines to the audience why they should care. Even more ill-fitting is the finale. McDowell once again returns as the aged version of Bettany, but Thewlis, and co-stars Saffron Burrows and Eddie Marsan inexplicably stay the same. Uneven at best, we'll admit the themes of "Gangster #1" make it far more interesting than it perhaps has the right to be, which just about allows it to sneak onto this list.
Perhaps best defined by its jazzy and supercool funk score by Roy Budd (which you can bet your ass was listened to closely by David Holmes when he scored Soderbergh's "Ocean's" films), Mike Hodges' outstanding 1971 crime pic, is brutal, but also refined, elegant and chic in a way most British crime films are not. Featuring as magnetic a performance as Michael Caine ever gave, it's also one of the best British films ever, wherein the star plays the eponymous Carter, a Newcastle-born, London-based gangster. The plan is to run away with his boss' girl (Britt Ekland), but Carter's life takes a turn for the unexpected when his brother is killed (seemingly in a drunk driving accident) and he has to return home for the first time in several decades. Setting out to track down the man responsible, Carter uncovers all kinds of corruption, betrayal and insidious acts in the process. Caine stalks the north-eastern industrial wasteland like he owns the joint, burying his charm deep down; he's magnetic, but never pleasant, getting up to some truly abhorrent acts, and coming across as nothing less than a Cockney Angel of Death. And when combined with the assuredness with which Hodges directs, and the bleak, almost existential feel of the script (right down to the ending), it adds up to something of a crime classic. Stay far, far away from the Sylvester Stallone-starring remake (which Caine cameos in); this one's the real deal.

NYPL Historic Maps
From OasisNYC
OASIS / NYPL maps help compare historical lower Manhattan with contemporary street grid
(July 2010)
In partnership with the New York Public Library's Map Division, www.OASISnyc.net now displays digitized historic maps aligned to the city's current street grid. Using OASIS's dynamic transparency tool, you can fade between current property maps (and aerial photos) and maps from the 18th and 19th centuries. Currently we've integrated three maps (two in lower Manhattan, one covering all of Manhattan): the Montresor map from 1775, the Poppleton map from 1817, and the Viele map from 1874.
More maps will be added soon, based on the groundbreaking NYPL "Map Rectifier" project. But as we were working with Map Division staff to incorporate their digitized maps, an amazing find at the World Trade Center construction site prompted us to speed up our work.
Maps and an 18th century find
On July 13, 2010, workers at a portion of the WTC construction site unearthed the remnants of an old ship, what the New York Times City Room described as "a 30-foot length of a wood-hulled vessel" from sometime in the 18th century. The article noted that the ship "was evidently undisturbed more than 200 years."
The construction site is located between Liberty and Cedar streets in lower Manhattan, just south of the WTC site. We've now updated the OASIS website with historical maps from the New York Public Library, to help provide mapped evidence dating the ship and identifing the pier where it may have been docked in the late 1700s.
Fading from 1817 to 1775 (and back again to the present)
Dynamic transparencies peel back the layers
Here's how you can access the maps on OASIS:
- zoom into the block b/w Liberty and Cedar streets (enter "140 Liberty Street" in the address search) - you may want to zoom out one level to see the property in relation to the surrounding blocks;
- expand the "Historical Land Use" legend section, and check the box next to the "Montresor map" entry;
- move the "Poppleton map" entry to the "Transparency Control" box (just click and drag it to the box);
- use the slider to change the transparency of the Poppleton map. The Montresor map underneath with fade in and out of view. You can see that in 1775 the Liberty/Cedar street block was mainly under water, and also had a pier extending along Cedar Street.
- by 1817, the Liberty/Cedar street block had been filled in extending to West Street (which had been partly built and was planned further south).
- you can click on the "Poppleton" or "Montresor" map links to find out more about them, along with a link to the detailed page at NYPL with citation information.
Bird's eye view of the construction site
Click on the Liberty/Cedar Street block, and an orange "camera icon" will appear. Click it to display a bird's eye view of the property (from Bing maps). Use the N/S/E/W icon in the upper left of the bird's eye view to see different perspectives on the area -- if you click W, you'll get a good view of the construction area.
Mannahatta too
Of course, the NYPL maps are not the only historical info available via OASIS. We also have a great partnership with the Mannahatta Project. More on this in a separate post. But in the meantime you can use OASIS to view some amazing map layers created by Mannahatta -- the 1609 shoreline around Manhattan island, ecosystems, a photorealisic image of what the island likely looked like, and you can click on any block for a link to the Mannahatta Project's website with detailed info about the 1609 flora and fauna for that area.

Wednesday, December 10, 2008 - Flights operated by the nation's largest airlines arrived on time at a higher rate this past October than in either October of last year or in September 2008, according to the Air Travel Consumer Report released today by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).
According to information filed with the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), a part of DOT's Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA), the 19 carriers reporting on-time performance recorded an overall on-time arrival rate of 86.0 percent in October, higher than both October 2007's 78.2 percent and September 2008's 84.9 percent.
The monthly report also includes, for the first time, data on lengthy tarmac delays by the reporting carriers. It also provides data on flight cancellations and the causes of flight delays, as well as information on reports of mishandled baggage filed with the carriers and consumer service, disability and discrimination complaints received by DOT's Aviation Consumer Protection Division. This report also includes reports of incidents involving pets traveling by air, as required to be filed by U.S. carriers.
The consumer report includes BTS data on the number of domestic flights canceled by the reporting carriers. In October, the carriers canceled 0.6 percent of their scheduled domestic flights, a lower rate than both the 1.2 percent cancellation rate of October 2007 and the 1.8 percent rate posted in September 2008.
In October, the carriers filing on-time performance data reported that 0.0001 percent of their scheduled flights had tarmac delays of three hours or more.
In October, the carriers filing on-time performance data reported that 5.17 percent of their flights were delayed by aviation system delays, compared to 5.10 percent in September; 3.93 percent by late-arriving aircraft, compared to 3.62 percent in September; 3.86 percent by factors within the airline's control, such as maintenance or crew problems, compared to 4.02 percent in September; 0.26 percent by extreme weather, compared to 0.40 percent in September; and 0.03 percent for security reasons, compared to 0.02 percent in September. Weather is a factor in both the extreme-weather category and the aviation-system category. This includes delays due to the re-routing of flights by DOT's Federal Aviation Administration in consultation with the carriers involved. Weather is also a factor in delays attributed to late-arriving aircraft, although airlines do not report specific causes in that category.
Data collected by BTS also shows the percentage of late flights delayed by weather, including those reported in either the category of extreme weather or included in National Aviation System delays. In October, 34.49 percent of late flights were delayed by weather, down 13.41 percent from October 2007, when 39.83 percent of late flights were delayed by weather, and down 6.96 percent from September when 37.07 percent of late flights were delayed by weather.
Detailed information on flight delays and their causes is available on the BTS site on the World Wide Web at http://www.bts.gov.
The U.S. carriers reporting flight delays and mishandled baggage data posted a mishandled baggage rate of 3.55 reports per 1,000 passengers in October, an improvement over both October 2007's rate of 5.37 and September 2008's 3.86 rate.
In October, carriers reported three incidents involving pets while traveling by air, compared to zero incidents in September. October's incidents involved two deaths and one injury.
In October, the Department received 627 complaints about airline service from consumers, down 42.3 percent from the 1,099 complaints filed in October 2007 and 8.3 percent fewer than the total of 684 received in September 2008.
The report also contains a tabulation of complaints filed with DOT in October against airlines regarding the treatment of passengers with disabilities. The Department received a total of 40 disability-related complaints in October, 31.0 percent fewer than the 58 complaints received in October 2007 and identical to the total of 40 filed in September 2008.
In October, the Department received 10 complaints alleging discrimination by airlines due to factors other than disability – such as race, religion, national origin or sex – down from the 11 complaints recorded in October 2007 and identical to the total of 10 filed in September 2008.
Consumers may file their complaints in writing with the Aviation Consumer Protection Division, U.S. Department of Transportation, C-75, W96-432, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE, Washington, DC 20590; by voice mail at (202) 366-2220 or by TTY at (202) 366-0511; or on the web at http://airconsumer.ost.dot.gov.
Consumers who want on-time performance data for specific flights should call their airline's reservation number or their travel agent. This information is available on the computerized reservation systems used by these agents.
The Air Travel Consumer Report can be found on DOT's World Wide Web site at http://airconsumer.ost.dot.gov. It is available in "pdf" and Microsoft Word format.

hard to get on!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I love how these boots look and once they are on, they are great....but for me., getting them on is way too much work! There is something inside that sort of gathers up and when you put your heel into them it gets stuck and makes them very difficult to pull on. Very frustrating and I would not recommend them because of that. If you can get them on easier than I can, they are warm and keep my feet nice and dry. I have even worn them snowmobiling and they did the job.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Great for everyday wear in snow and slush.
They are warm, waterproof and have good traction. Winter is just beginning and I've only worn them a few times yet. I've worn them on icy surfaces and in slushy snow and rain. I did not slip and they did not let any water in.
I wear them with thick woolen socks for a snug fit.
I think they are inexpensive considering the quality.
Get the job done
Warm, comfortable, and keep your feet dry, what else could you want in a Winter boot...
As warm as my UGGS and easier to care for!
Great boots -- they are just as warm (if not warmer) than my UGGS boots and are WAY easier to care for and seem like they will last longer. I was worried about the water resistance issue, and while I haven't gone slogging through huge piles of snow in them yet, I haven't had any trouble yet with water getting inside the boots.
Overall very happy with the product, and VERY happy with my customer service experience with backcountry.com -- I HIGHLY recommend purchasing from them!
Awesome Boots
I bought and wore these boots for the first time on my annual ski trip in Hakuba, Japan in Feb 2012 and they were amazing! I was so keen to test them out I wore them on the plane from Hong Kong to Tokyo and had no problems there. Feet were warm but didn't feel like they were going to over heat. The minute we hit the powder snow in Hakuba is was great. The sole has good grip even in slightly icy snow and my toes were always toasty warm. The average temp in Hakuba while we were there was about min. -20C and max. -5C (sorry, don't know what the Fahrenheit conversion is).
I always looked forward to putting these on at the end of each day after skiing. They felt like pillow around my feet. Great for walking around in powder snow that was at times knee-deep (I pulled the inner layer of my ski pants in the boot, and the outer layer on the outside of the boot just to prevent snow from falling into the boot as they only go up to your shins). I also bought the men's version for my husband and he loved his pair too!
I bought the pink ones (got lots of compliments!) and they haven't stained so far even though I was kicking around the snow a fair bit. I normally wear a US8.5 and I bought these in a US9 thinking I'd need the extra room if I wore thick socks. The US9 wasn't too big but a US8.5 would have been a more snug fit with thick socks on.
Overall, I would highly recommend this boot and can't wait for my next excuse to wear them!
Thanks for the photo here, the picture sold 'em. Love these boots. Foot therapy for sure, soft foot bed, true to size and really warm!

How does the shoe fit? Should I order my normal shoe size?
I would order a normal size... it can be a little tough to pull on but it will fit right. If you want to upsize, it will be a little bit roomier and easier to pull on, so it's up to how you want it to fit. If you aren't worried about a little roomier bootie, I would upsize, it's like sticking your foot into a pillow.

Late last month we detailed how Mechwarrior Online makers Piranha Games honored a five-year-old player who died of brain cancer in May by selling a special mech – with the proceeds going completely to charity. Earlier this year, five-year-old Sarah Marie Alida Parries of Vancouver (who was a big fan of MechWarrior and played the game with her dad Jon) died from complications with inoperable brain cancer.
After her passing, fans within the MWO community asked that a special hero mech be created to honor her and to be sold for charity. Piranha Games listened to the community and created "Sarah's Jenner," which it unveiled on July 23. The mech sells for $10, with all proceeds going to the Canadian Cancer Society.
Today we have learned from Game Informer and GII that proceeds raised from the sale of Sarah's Jenner have generated over $100,000 USD for the cancer charity. Piranha Games and Jenna's father were delighted with the outpouring of goodwill from the MechWarrior Online community:
"When we first had the idea for Sarah's Jenner we thought that ten thousand dollars would be a number we could all be proud of," Piranha Games' Bryan Ekman told Game Informer. "The response from the MechWarrior community and from the games industry at large has been overwhelming. We can't thank everyone enough for unifying in this effort to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society and cancer research."
"Again I can never thank all of you enough for all the time and effort you at MWO have provided. It has helped a lot knowing that people out there legitimately care," said Sarah's father, John Parries.
The campaign has been extended to August 20. You can buy Sarah's Jenner here.

text: I ride a mtb with street tires which I keep well inflated. Not overinflated, but not low pressure. Sitting watching something on tv & heard a hissing noise. At first thought it might be on the tv. No...turned off the sound to discover one of my tires going flat. Took the wheel off, checked it over very carefully. Couldn't find a thing wrong...no glass, nails, wires, sharp stones, anything. Pulled the tire off & the tube out & pumped a little air in, then stuck it into the sink filled with water to find the leak. A tiny, tiny slit, not on a seam. Carefully checked the rim, nothing sharp. So...pinch flat? Or did the tube simply fail?
