I'm proud to be an American. I'm proud of my country: its government, its ideals, its military--especially its military.
I grew up with a love for the armed forces. I loved G.I. Joe, watching F-16 fighter jets take off from an air force base near my home and reading Black Hawk Down while my classmates were into Harry Potter. It's difficult to say whether that was just a boyish fascination or a deeper sense of patriotism and national pride.
As I got older and more capable of understanding something abstract as patriotism, I didn't lose my affinity for our nation's armed forces. The boyish fascination transformed to the idealistic support for and devotion to our government and military. As a self-described patriotic American, it became easy to justify the costs of our ongoing War on Terror from the safety of my Ohio high school, and, later, university.
But as I found out early on in my time in Iraq with PLC, it's much more difficult to view every inhabitant of this ancient land as potential terrorists when each man you meet is nicer than the last. It's much more difficult to think you understand a culture when it continually defies your expectations. And it's much more difficult to justify the costs of war while sitting face to face with a young boy with a deadly heart defect which- if not directly related to chemical weapons used during Desert Storm or the Iraq War - cannot get surgery as a result of years of infrastructure damage and nationwide sanctions.
Don't expect me to say I've abandoned my love for America or my support for our military. My blood still boils when someone questions the motives of our military or insists our leaders use lies to justify their foreign policy. But I would say the time I've spent here in Iraq has completely destroyed any sense of a black-and-white answer to patriotism. My time living shoulder-to-shoulder with Kurds and Arabs has probably left me with more questions than answers. But that's a good thing.

About Aspectus
What industry sectors does the agency specialise in?
We focus on five key markets: financial services, B2B technology, energy, engineering and event marketing. We know these sectors and the media supporting them inside out, all over the world.
What is special about the agency's approach to PR?
We make it our business to find out the issues that really matter to our clients' prospects and then work on ways of pressing those buttons and creating a dialogue.
Our success hinges on two factors: the quality of the storyline ideas and content that we produce, alongside our ability to use the internet and social media to maximise the impact of the coverage we achieve for our clients in the mainstream media.
Aspectus recently broadened its service offering to include the engineering and event industries. Have new strategies been implemented to incorporate these sectors?
Clients come to us because of our niche market knowledge. As we have grown, both in terms of geography and head count, our knowledge has become broader and deeper and our new sectors reflect the expertise within the agency. We have a long track record in engineering PR and are seeing a steady increase in the number of companies wanting to work with us, drawing on the fantastic international knowledge base within the practice. At the same time, we have put in place a 'no brainer' proposition for the events industry. Tried and tested on some of the biggest players within the sector, we have developed an event marketing methodology that harnesses both traditional and social media to boost the profile of a client's event dramatically, drives up exhibitor numbers and significantly increases attendance.
How do you ensure your clients get the right coverage in the press?
Our job is to get in the face of our clients' target audiences. We don't just want our clients to be noticed – we actually want to change the whole relationship between them and the people they are trying to reach.
In a crowded media market, quality content is key. Using our own writers, we develop what we call storyline packages – copy, research, facts and stats, third party contacts; in fact, everything that a senior journalist would need to develop their own versions of our story.
In your opinion, what are the main challenges facing PR today?
There is undoubtedly an art to producing ideas and material that will really appeal to our clients' customers. If you've got a great idea then you need to get it out there through every channel and in every form available to you. If it works as an article, then repackage it as an e-newsletter, make it the key theme in a customer testimonial or case study. Driving it through social media channels is the difference between it being seen by a handful of people and being picked up and passed on by tens of thousands.
About clients
Can you list some of your most well-known, or respected clients?
Within their niche sectors we are lucky to work with a group of clients who, if not always well-known, are well-respected. Outside their particular sectors our clients are generally less well known but they do include brands like Fidessa, Elster, Pennwell, UBM and Baringa Partners (the UK's best place to work).
Tell us about a client you recently worked with. What was the company's brief, your approach and the result?
Our financial services practice is particularly pleased with an ongoing campaign for Asset Control.
Asset Control wanted to move away from being seen as a "pipes and plumbing" data management infrastructure provider. Only six months into the campaign, Asset Control is now associated with major industry trends, continually demonstrating its understanding of the challenges facing clients and markets. How did we get there?
It started with an initial project to build and refine messaging, tagline and product positioning, all tested against key influencers in Asset Control's market. Intensive media training, specifically around the new messaging, followed quickly to ensure that all press opportunities were capitalised on and really delivered for Asset Control. Good job, since these press opportunities started coming thick and fast once we kicked off the PR campaign. Built upon storylines we devised to complement the messaging, these core ideas drove by-lined articles, press releases, interviews and even award entries all closely tied to Asset Control's key messages. All this ran through social media channels in a co-ordinated way, with the content tailored for each platform, to engage the audience and supercharge SEO. That was how we ensured the message made its mark.
How do you balance the use of social media and traditional PR in your work?
It's completed integrated. We see social media and mainstream media as fundamentally connected; we use one to feed and add value to the other. And we know exactly how to do this; we understand what social media channels work best for every story, every client. But the key to unlocking the full value of PR in today's connected media world is to produce quality content in the first place. That's why we have a whole team of full-time writers. Great ideas and great stories are what really make the difference.
What has been your most memorable work for a client?
One recent campaign particularly stands out for me. Now widely regarded as the power industry's must-attend event, POWER-GEN Europe comprises a dedicated trade show, multi-track conference and is also co-located with two other leading shows: Renewable Energy World and Nuclear Power Europe. 2011 was our second year promoting the show and it was another record-breaking year for POWER-GEN Europe with more than 14,900 visitors from 95 different countries. Naturally, we wouldn't claim every visitor attended as a direct result of our campaign, but with 240 pieces of coverage in 21 countries, including 84 pieces of coverage generated from press releases, 57 by-lined articles published, ten show previews in top tier media and more than 50 journalists attending, there's a good chance that the majority had heard or read something about POWER-GEN Europe prior to the event.
Social media proved pivotal in successfully raising the show's profile, with a loyal community of event followers actively contributing to, and participating in, lively discussions around the event. By the end of the campaign the Twitter pages had more than 1000 followers, the blog had attracted more than 3000 visitors and the home page search engine rankings had witnessed a significant boost. Ultimately, the event was a huge success and will be repeated this year, again with Aspectus leading the PR.
About journalists
Which media outlets or journalists do you find you work with the most often?
It's mostly top-tier trades, specialist national correspondents and general business titles.
How do you build and maintain strong relationships with journalists?
A combination of market knowledge, great ideas, good content, reliability and decency.
About you
You have worked as both a broadcast journalist and in PR. What made you decide to make the switch? Have your experiences as a journalist impacted your approach to PR?
Hopefully, it means that I understand the needs of a journalist as well as the pressures they operate under. We know how newsrooms work and try to think like journalists when creating a storyline or piece of content. We have tried to inject a newsroom-style buzz into the office here.
What media do you seek out first thing in the morning?
I wake up to the Today programme much to the annoyance of my wife who soon has Magic FM blaring out. I'll also read the overnight handover email from my North American and Asian colleagues who will highlight any stories with legs likely to affect our day. Then it tends to be the Times, Telegraph and FT.
Are you involved in any other projects?
I would love to be but running a family and keeping everyone happy at Aspectus is pretty full-time. I do organise a social cricket side called the Southwell Ramblers. It's our 40th anniversary this year and we are always looking for talent!
Name three guests you'd invite to a dinner party and why.
I'd like to reincarnate three people – Grace Kelly, who is probably the most beautiful woman who has ever lived. David Niven, a true star of Hollywood's Golden Age whose autobiography, The Moon's a Balloon, is a hilarious read. It says much about Niven's character and his seemingly easy ability to be affable and friendly with everyone that, when he died, one of the wreaths at his funeral was from the porters at Heathrow Airport. The card read: "To the finest gentleman who ever walked through these halls." He made a porter feel like a king. And finally an older, father-figure friend of mine, Stan Smith, who was an amazing mentor and kept me on the track at a time when I could very easily have gone off the rails. I'd like to have spent more time with him and it would be fun seeing him try to be smoother than Niven and charm Grace Kelly.

Nexus 7 2013 along with Android 4.3 officially announced!
We were expecting the announcements of Android 4.3 and the new Nexus 7 for a while now and today was the day Google delivered during their conference, Breakfast with Sundar Pichai. They showcased the new products (as well as Chromecast which will be touched on in a future article) and the new features of Android 4.3.
First up, the new 2013 Nexus 7, successor to the immensely successful 2012 Nexus 7. Nexus 7 was google's first attempt at selling tablets themselves. With a good feature set and an amazing low price – it was the hottest device to get. This year, the form factor is roughly the same. Is is about 50g lighter though and 2mm thinner.
It also gets rid of the silver lining around the device. The bezels are still the same thickness on the top and bottom. Internally, the screen has been updated to a full HD 1080p screen with 1920×1200 resolution which is a major improvement over the 1280×800 screen of the previous generation. The processor, graphics and ram has been bumped to a 1.5 GHz quad core Qualcomm S4 Pro 8064 processor, Adreno 320 graphics and 2GB ram respectively. Mono speakers give away to dual front stereo speakers and the front camera is also joined by a secondary 5 mega-pixel camera! That's a good addition.
The new Nexus 7 will also be the first device to ship with Android 4.3. The update will also be available on all Nexus devices shortly too. 4.3 does not bring a lot of user-focused features but there are some. There's new set of multi-user settings, Bluetooth Smart, aka Bluetooth Low Energy, OpenGL ES 3.0 support, and NFC.
Google states that the N7 will have upto 9 hours of HD video playback and 10 hours of web browsing. They also included the ability to wirelessly charge the device. These new additions do bump up the price to $229 for the 16GB model though. But a $29 price increase for all these great updates is well worth it. In addition to the 16GB model, the 32GB model is listed at $269 and the 32gb LTE model at $349.
Stay tuned for an upcoming 2013 Nexus 7 giveaway!

google keeps putting out nice devices. I still love my Asus T300.
But I think google needs to push more into the education system. I'm sick of seeing iPads at all the school! LOL
Nice share! The slimmer and powerful 2nd gen nexus 7 is definitely worth the price.
P.S Excited about the giveaway…

AS ace detectives go, it's unlikely to ruffle too many villains' feathers.
But one North-East police team has signed up a crime-fighting pink pigeon as a light-hearted way of preserving law and order.
The pigeon - with its distinctive shocking pink plumage – was spotted soaring across the skies above Darlington last week.
Its appearance got ornithologists' curtains twitching and gained national attention.
The bird, named Molly by a local child, certainly caught the imagination of police in Darlington.
Officers posted a message on the Darlington Neighbourhood Police Teams Facebook page on Monday (March 3), depicting the pigeon giving crime prevention advice.
The post, which has received dozens of likes, features a photograph of the bird and a thought bubble showing the pigeon thinking: "Pink Pigeon says remember to lock your car doors."
In explaining the post, an officer wrote on the page: "Following our pink pigeon sighting, we thought we would give some crime prevention advice in a fun way.
"Over the weekend there has been a number of insecure cars broken into and property taken."
Most social media users appear to have taken the post in the light-hearted manner it was obviously intended.
But an earlier post, featuring a blue pigeon, likely to have been computer-generated, received a few grumpy comments along the lines of 'police should be doing their jobs, not posting messages about pigeons on Facebook'.
Whatever your take on the Great Pink Pigeon of Darlo, it has certainly proved a squawking point.

Kutz, Jacob Alexander (1903-1997)
Although the family maintained its strict Orthodox roots in the Ukraine, Jacob was educated in the Mennonite schools of the district. He was deeply impressed by his teachers, to the point where after graduating from a Mennonite elementary school in Mariawohl, a Mennonite high school in Gnadenfeld and the Mennonite business college in Halbstadt, he was ready to join the Mennonite Church.
Then came the spiritual revivals in the Molotschna Colony and he joined the Mennonite Church in Landskrone. At the same time, war and revolution swept through the area and he was imprisoned and later forced into military service. However, his deep faith and his strong resistance to war led to his exemption from military service. Soon after that he obtained permission to emigrate to Canada. Jacob left his family behind and landed in Quebec in July 1926. Here he changed his name to Kutz from Kutzenko.
After spending the obligatory time working in northern Ontario, Jacob studied to become a barber and settled in Kitchener, Ontario. Here, in 1928, he joined the Kitchener Mennonite Brethren Church (KMB). From 1930 on he actively pursued his career as a barber but even more actively, his service to God. He expressed his deep faith and determination in decades of church and conference work. At the KMB Church Jacob taught an adult Sunday School class for over forty years, was treasurer for 14 years, secretary for 19 years and church correspondent for the Mennonitische Rundschau a number of years. For a time he was also church moderator. The collection and writing of historical and statistical data for the Ontario Conference as well as the KMB church were also part of his work. As conference leader, Jacob and his family hosted many Mennonite visitors from across Canada. All of this made for a very busy church career.
Jacob's service to the Ontario Conference of MB Churches must be stressed as well. He served as provincial treasurer for 31 years, from 1947 to 1978, as Home Missions Treasurer for a number of years and as Board of Trustees Treasurer for many years -- a true labor of love.
Through all this church work Jacob Kutz remained a dedicated student of the Word, for decades an active member of the KMB choir, a loyal and loving father and a busy volunteer to the end. At Tabor Manor in St. Catharines where he lived from 1993 to 1997, he volunteered in the local elementary school. In 1996 the Lt. Governor of Ontario recognized his lifetime of volunteer work with a "Senior Achievement Award." (given to individuals for outstanding volunteer work in their local community). He died at peace and surrounded by his family -- a remarkable and faithful servant of God.

Corn Palace Director Mark Schilling resigns following audit
Corn Palace Director Mark Schilling resigned Monday due to findings in an as-yet unreleased state audit of Mitchell's city-owned attraction, according to Mayor Ken Tracy.
Tracy announced Schilling's resignation around 11 p.m. -- too late for the news to make The Daily Republic's A section deadline -- following a lengthy closed meeting known as an "executive session" near the end of Monday night's regular Mitchell City Council meeting at City Hall.
Schilling, who was not present for any of Monday night's council meeting, had submitted his resignation earlier Monday.
The city requested the audit be performed by the South Dakota Department of Legislative Audit after Tracy was informed by "various sources" who told him there were certain procedures at the Corn Palace that needed review. Tracy has reviewed a preliminary version of the department's audit report, but declined to divulge any specifics in an interview with members of the media following Monday night's council meeting.
"To say there were no findings would not be an accurate statement," Tracy said. "There were some policies and procedures that they uncovered and they have made significant recommendations as to what changes should be made as we go forward."
A final version of the audit report is expected to be received by the city in the near future, and Tracy said it will then be released in open session at the next council meeting, which is scheduled for March 17.
Assistant Corn Palace Director Jeri Mickelson has assumed Schilling's role on an interim basis pending further decisions yet to be made about hiring a new director for the Corn Palace, Tracy said.
"I haven't made any final decisions as to how we will proceed," Tracy said. "I certainly will work with the council as we move forward."

Chargers C Hardwick practices, could play vs. Titans
Published: December 22nd, 2009 | Tags: David Thornton, Dennis Norman, Eric Ghiacuic, Jacques Cesaire, Jamie Winborn, Keith Bulluck, Kyle Vanden Bosch, Legedu Naanee, Nate Washington, Nick Hardwick, Nick Harper, San Diego Chargers, Scott Mruczkowski, Shawne Merriman, Tennessee Titans, Travis Johnson, Week 16 injuries
The Chargers and Titans hit the practice field Tuesday — normally a day off for teams — in advance of their Christmas Day NFL Network matchup in Tennessee, and it appears as if San Diego could receive a boost on its offensive line.
Nick Hardwick (ankle) was a full participant in practice, which is big news, considering the Chargers have been without their starting center since Week 1. Scott Mruczkowski, who had been starting for Hardwick, already has been ruled out, meaning San Diego would start its third center — Dennis Norman — if Hardwick can't return.
The Chargers announced after practice that they had signed center Eric Ghiacuic, who spent four seasons with the Bengals (2005-08), and placed Mruczkowski on season-ending injured reserve.
The Chargers practiced without LB Shawne Merriman (foot), WR Legedu Naanee (foot), DE Jacques Cesaire (elbow), and DE Travis Johnson (groin).
For the Titans, DT Tony Brown (knee, quadricep), CB Nick Harper (shoulder) and DE Kyle Vanden Bosch (neck) didn't practice. WR Nate Washington (ankle) and TE Craig Stevens (concussion) were limited. Washington injured himself on a touchdown catch during last weekend's victory over the Dolphins.
Tennessee already knows it will be without LBs Keith Bulluck and David Thornton, who are both done for the season. To help, the Titans signed nine-year veteran LB Jamie Winborn to a two-year contract Tuesday.

UNTIL recently it was only television presenters who had live feedback in their ear - now teachers at a Newport school are "mic'd up" and can be watched live by their senior managers.
Duffryn High School spent £13,000 on head sets and web-based software called Iris Connect to film one teacher at a time, who walks around the class wearing a microphone and headphone while being filmed.
The non-public broadcast appears on a laptop being watched by the head teacher or assistant head teacher, who can give instant feedback to the classroom.
Teachers can also film their own lessons and watch them back afterwards to see how they could improve or do things differently, explained head teacher Jon Wilson.
The school was praised in its recent Estyn inspection report for having one of the highest percentages the inspectorate had seen of good or excellent lessons, with none deemed "unsatisfactory".
"It is live coaching and is purely linked to staff development," said Mr Wilson of the school's new technology, which is internal, password protected and used by each teacher once per half-term, starting with the newest teachers.
"We get teachers to watch each other and positively criticise their lessons. We found that it was reviewing lessons and feeding back to staff that led to really good judgements on teaching [from Estyn]."
High-performing teachers are filmed for 15 minutes and their lessons edited into segments, such as the start of the lesson, questioning phase, use of resources and "plenaries" where teachers explain how progress is made. The lessons are then uploaded to the school website for colleagues to watch.
Pupils have also filmed their own short "lessons", solving equations or literacy problems, for their peers to watch online.
"If we have a brand new teacher come into school they can look at the website," said Mr Wilson. "We have follow-up staff sessions as well, asking what is effective questioning and how you can avoid telling pupils the answer. The technology takes some of the time out of it and avoids changing the dynamic in the classroom by having someone sit in. You can also put a microphone on a table and see how students are interacting."
The money to pay for the technology was prioritised out of the school budget, said Mr Wilson, adding: "It was something we needed to invest in.
"You see the fruits of the labour straight away because teachers can make changes immediately," he said. "It builds upon years of work we've done here. Everybody can improve all the time."

AMD's 12-core "Magny-Cours" Opteron 6174 vs. Intel's 6-core Xeonby Johan De Gelas on March 29, 2010 12:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- IT Computing
HPC and Encryption Benchmarks
Just a few days prior to today's launch, we were able to get access to the benchmark numbers that Intel and AMD produced for LSDyna's (Crash simulation) and Fluent (fluid dynamics) from Ansys. The first benchmark is the Ansys Fluent Truck_14 m benchmark.
The next one is LS Dyna "Neon refined revised".
In both cases, the four memory channels and 12 core mix per CPU seem to pay off: AMD can beat Intel again in the HPC benchmarks, although the advantage is small.
Next we ran Sisoft Sandra 2010's encryption benchmark. Do remember that this is a completely synthetic benchmark. A 100% encryption performance advantage might translate in a very small performance advantage in a real world application. For example the code run on a website might only include a small part of encryption code.
Once the Xeon X5670's AES instructions can do their work, encryption is lightening fast. Here the new Xeon is 19 times faster than its older brother and 9 times faster than the best Opteron. Encryption can be broken up easily in smaller parts, it scales extremely well. The result is that the CPU with the most threads, the Xeon 5670 and Opteron 6174 easily outperform their older brothers in cryptographic hash functions.

Accord99 - Monday, March 29, 2010 - linkThe X5670 is 6-core. Reply
JackPack - Tuesday, March 30, 2010 - linkLOL. Based on price?
Sorry, but you do realize that the majority of these 6-core SKUs will be sold to customers where the CPU represents a small fraction of the system cost?
We're talking $40,000 to $60,000 for a chassis and four fully loaded blades. A couple hundred dollars difference for the processor means nothing. What's important is the performance and the RAS features. Reply
JohanAnandtech - Tuesday, March 30, 2010 - linkGood post. Indeed, many enthusiast don't fully understand how it works in the IT world. Some parts of the market are very price sensitive and will look at a few hundreds of dollars more (like HPC, rendering, webhosting), as the price per server is low. A large part of the market won't care at all. If you are paying $30K for a software license, you are not going to notice a few hundred dollars on the CPUs. Reply
Sahrin - Tuesday, March 30, 2010 - linkIf that's true, then why did you benchmark the slower parts at all? If it only matters in HPC, then why test it in database? Why would the IDM's spend time and money binning CPU's?
Responding with "Product differentiation and IDM/OEM price spreads" simply means that it *does* matter from a price perspetive. Reply
rbbot - Saturday, July 10, 2010 - linkBecause those of us with applications running on older machines need comparisons against older systems in order to determine whether it is worth migrating existing applications to a new platform. Personally, I'd like to see more comparisons to even older kit in the 2-3 year range that more people will be upgrading from. Reply
Calin - Monday, March 29, 2010 - linkSome programs were licensed by physical processor chips, others were licensed by logical cores. Is this still correct, and if so, could you explain in based on the software used for benchmarking?
AmdInside - Monday, March 29, 2010 - linkCan we get any Photoshop benchmarks? Reply
JohanAnandtech - Monday, March 29, 2010 - linkI have to check, but I doubt that besides a very exotic operation anything is going to scale beyond 4-8 cores. These CPUs are not made for Photoshop IMHO. Reply
AssBall - Tuesday, March 30, 2010 - linkNot sure why you would be running photoshop on a high end server. Reply
Nockeln - Tuesday, March 30, 2010 - linkI would recommend trying to apply some advanced filters on a 200+ GB file.
Especially with the new higher megapixel cameras I could easilly see how some proffesionals would fork up the cash if this reduces the time they have to spend in front of the screen waiting on things to process.

This foundation lasts on me for about 3-4 hours tops. Which frankly, is very good compared to others i've tried in the past..
Its coverage is good. The colour I bought was Shell Beige and it blends with my skin tone perfectly. The only problem was the packaging, if i left it standing upright and then unscrewed the lid a lot of the product would pour out of the hole and all over my carpet which isnt good for the carpet or ofcourse for my wallet, i've learned to put this into a little pot from the beginning of use and then things like that wont be happening. Overall this product has been very useful for covering blemishes, and reduced shiny-ness<-- is that a word?:/ but it certainly didnt disappoint!

Asia data show drop in global demand, Fed officials eye QE3
By Nick Edwards and Leika Kihara, Reuters Tuesday, July 10, 2012, 12:41 am TWN
BEIJING/TOKYO--Asia's two biggest exporters showed further signs of slowing in data published on Monday, signaling risks of a fresh slide in global demand, as a top Federal Reserve official said he was downbeat on the prospects of the U.S. economy.
Japan's core machinery orders in May plunged 14.8 percent from April, with the key gauge of capital spending sinking far below analyst expectations of a 3.3-percent decline. That raised the risk that growth momentum in the world's No. 3 economy will stall if firms start to scale back investment.
Meanwhile Chinese consumer inflation eased more than expected in June, with producer prices in outright deflation for a fourth month, signaling that demand for goods from China's vast factory sector — especially from foreign customers — is declining as the global economy weakens.
Both data points underscored a downbeat assessment of growth prospects in the world's biggest economy by Boston Federal Reserve President Eric Rosengren in a speech in the Thai capital Bangkok on Monday.
"My pessimism is rooted in an expectation of weakness in investment, net exports, and government spending," including "concerns about economic and financial conditions in Europe," said Rosengren, who described himself as more pessimistic than policy-setting colleagues on the Federal Open Market Committee.
He's not alone in feeling grim about near-term U.S. economic prospects, with Wall Street economists more convinced than ever that the Fed will embark on a so-called QE3 program — a third round of quantitative easing via large-scale bond purchases.
A Reuters poll on Friday revealed that primary dealers, the large financial institutions that deal directly with the Fed, expect a 70-percent chance of the US$2.3 trillion QE program being expanded.
The poll was conducted after the U.S. Labor Department reported that employers created only 80,000 jobs in June, far fewer than needed to bring down the 8.2 percent unemployment rate and adding to evidence that Europe's debt crisis was weighing on global growth.
Rosengren, who does not have a vote on Fed policy this year but will next year, told reporters after his speech that it was "appropriate to have more quantitative easing" from the Fed.
His comments were echoed by fellow Fed official, Chicago Fed President Charles Evans, also speaking in Bangkok.
"Additional monetary accommodation is need to more quickly boost output to its full potential level," said Evans, one of the Fed's most dovish voices. "The economic circumstances warrant extremely strong accommodation."
Analysts also believe the Bank of Japan (BOJ) might be compelled to expand its own asset purchase program on Thursday at the conclusion of its monthly policy-setting meeting.
"The BOJ looked like it would be on hold this week, but given weak U.S. economic data and monetary easing by central banks in China and Europe, there is now a 50 percent chance that the BOJ could ease this week," said Hiroaki Muto, senior economist at Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management Co.
A surprise interest rate cut from the People's Bank of China last week — the second in a month — on the same day that the European Central Bank also cut rates and the Bank of England expanded its quantitative easing program — has only served to deepen the downside risks being priced into asset markets.
Asian shares and the euro slumped on Monday as sluggish U.S. jobs data and cooling inflation in China deepened worries about slowing global growth.

Meet the scout leader who stood up to the London attackers
- By Elias GrollElias Groll is a staff writer at Foreign Policy, covering cyberspace and its conflicts and controversies. He has written for the magazine since 2012 and is a graduate of Harvard University.
- elias.groll

After two men brutally killed a British soldier using knives and a meat cleaver in London on Wednesday, one woman bravely stepped forward and tried to reason with the attackers.
Ingrid Loyau-Kennett saw the scene in Woolwich — two men standing over the body of the soldier, Lee Rigby — from the bus she was riding, stepped out, and tried to find out what had happened. After finding that Rigby no longer had a pulse, she turned to one of the men, trying to calm him down.
"I asked him why he had done what he had done," she told the Guardian. "He said he had killed the man because [the victim] was a British soldier who killed Muslim women and children in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was furious about the British Army being over there."
The photo of Loyau-Kennett, a scout leader and former teacher, calmly speaking to one of the men alleged to have carried out the attack has become a sensation in Britain, where she has emerged as an unlikely symbol of British fortitude. When the assailants told her that they hoped to spark a war in the streets of London, she told one of them, "Right now it is only you versus many people, you are going to lose — what would you like to do?" "I would like to stay and fight," she quoted the man as telling her. With those words — "you are going to lose" — British Prime Minister David Cameron said she spoke for the British people.
Here's that photo, with commentary from Loyau-Kennett's son:
My mum is a motherfucking badass twitter.com/SiibillamLaw/s…
— Basil Baradaran (@SiibillamLaw) May 22, 2013
And here's Loyau-Kennett, still remarkably unfazed, recounting the experience in a television interview:
Meanwhile, the two suspects who were shot by police on the scene are reported to be in stable condition. One of the men has been identified as Michael Adebolajo and was previously known to British security services. Two additional people have been arrested on conspiracy charges.
Additionally, the full version of the video of one of the suspects — his hands soaked in blood — explaining his actions to a bystander was obtained by the Sun. The clip is below (warning: it's graphic):

What is AQUAGEN
AQUAGEN is the world's foremost oxygen supplement technology. It's unique, proprietary formula bonds oxygen in a natural solution of distilled water. The highly concentrated oxygen is released into the bloodstream through the digestive system where it is distributed throughout the body by red blood cells.
Oxygen and Health
Medical practitioners and nutritionists agree that oxygen plays a significant role in sustaining a healthy mind and body. AQUAGEN is a stabilized oxygen supplement for the body. Today, pollution increases around us in the air we breathe and the water we drink; daily stress steals oxygen from our bodies; and other dietary deficiencies reduce the life-sustaining oxygen that leads to healthy cellular metabolism. The body cannot function properly without a dependable supply of oxygen--and many believe that oxygen depletion may be the cause of disease. AQUAGEN is a safe, pH balanced oxygen supplement that puts oxygen back into our bodies and may enhance mental awareness, physical endurance and stamina and ensure a better quality of life.
The Power of Oxygen
Nutrients in our bodies---such as proteins, carbohydrates and fats---must have a constant supply of oxygen to convert "potential" energy into "usable" energy. This "energy" is what fuels our bodies and gives us the endurance and stamina to survive and thrive in our daily lives. Aquagen efficiently supplements the body's oxygen supply to effect this transformation and give our bodies vital energy. Cellular regeneration (we lose billions of cells every day) requires the bonding of oxygen with amino acids in our bodies. The AQUAGEN technology offers an effective oxygen supplement to help in this daily rebuilding process.
The toxins and pollutants that invade our environment and bodies through air, food and water can be inhibited or even destroyed by ample amounts of oxygen in our bodies. Thus, oxygen is the basic ingredient of energy and life! Oxygen is not manufactured or stored in our bodies---it is consumed by our cells every moment we breathe (and by this very act of breathing we create the need for constant oxygenation). AQUAGEN, the premier oxygen supplement on the market today, provides this essential source of extra oxygen to the body.
Suggested Use
15 drops in 8 oz. of water three times daily. Best taken on an empty stomach at least 30 minutes before each meal. Consult your physician before taking during pregnancy or if pre-existing conditions exist.
Shake well before using. Do not use a metal utensil for mixing.

Have Mercedes Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Hi, if the driver's side window will not work the top will not work either.
Check the fuses in the trunk fuse box. Fuse 1 and 2 are for the windows. Remove and inspect them.
I'd check all of the fuses there.
If the fuses are good you may have a bad window switch or motor.
I did check the fuses. The problem occured when I stopped to get the mail.
Did you remove the fuses? They are prone to poor connections.
I replaced one of the fuses. It happened when I pushed the window switch to roll down the whole way without holding the switch down. I hear the window do a little something everytime I turn key on/off and try the switch.
you need to synchronize that window.
Close the door and turn the key on.
press very gently on the switch until the window is all the way down and continue to hold the switch an additional 3 seconds.
then what
repeat the procedure in the up direction.
the window should then be synchronized.
only press gently on the switch to the first click
I'll go try it now
Messed with fuses again. got window up, haven't tried top yet, I'll try tomorrow. so thanks for now

A low-key recovery in home prices continued to spread throughout the Albuquerque metro area during the first quarter.
Out of 42 multiple listing service or MLS areas in the metro, 32 posted year-over-year increases or no change in median price, a 50 percent increase from 21 in the first quarter of 2013, according to the Greater Albuquerque Association of Realtors. Only seven MLS areas posted increases in the first quarter of 2012.
While the recovery has broadened, the gains partially were offset by home price drops in struggling MLS areas, leaving the metro with a modest 1.6 percent year-over-year increase in median price to $172,700 for a detached single-family house. Median price means half sold for more and half sold for less.
The average price increased year over year by 3 percent to $206,526 in the first quarter, within range of the pre-bubble average of 4 percent each year from 1983 to 2003. The 1,809 detached, single-family home sales were the most in any first quarter since 2,415 homes were sold in early 2007.
"The number of units sold is increasing," said GAAR Executive Vice President Janice McCrary. "We're seeing modest price increases. We're headed in the right direction."
Housing's major role
Real estate activity plays a major role in the economy, accounting for 16.7 percent of New Mexico's gross state product in 2012, according to a new analysis of federal data by the National Association of Realtors. Before the housing downturn, its would have accounted for 18 percent or higher.
Based on a median sale price of $172,100, each home sale in New Mexico generates $50,992 in total income using a multiplier calculation.
The income is generated in a number of ways, such as a new homebuyer's spending on household goods and improvements. In addition, the "wealth effect" of homeownership in an appreciating housing market serves to boost consumer spending in general.
The biggest income generator is the calculation that, for every eight existing homes that are sold, a new house gets built – a ratio that holds roughly true in the Albuquerque metro. Thus the housing recovery should have a strong impact on employment, the analysis says.
The recovery, now entering its third year, reflects a 12-year cycle in the metro's residential real estate market, said Peter Parnegg, co-owner of Coldwell Banker Legacy.
Based on average annual sale prices, the 12 years of the cycle are measured from the lowest points or troughs in prices as they fluctuate over the years, he explained. In recent decades, home price troughs were reached in 1988, 2000 and 2011.
It should be noted the 12-year cycle does not show itself as clearly if median price is used.
Listings influx
The upshot is that, if the pattern of past recoveries holds true, the average annual home price will post its biggest percentage increase in 2016, Parnegg said.
March, the last month of the first quarter, saw the biggest monthly influx of new listings in four years.
Some of the increase likely resulted from churn, or sellers switching real estate agents as the buying season approaches, McCrary noted. These switches create a new listing out of a home that may have been on the market for some time.
The March influx of 1,613 new listings also likely resulted in part from pent-up demand from owners who had postponed putting their homes on the market until conditions improved for sellers. They now feel optimistic enough to test the waters, Parnegg said.
The home price recovery varies from one MLS area to the next but is generally concentrated in the city of Albuquerque. Prices for detached, single-family homes essentially were flat in the first quarter in Rio Rancho and continued to drop in Valencia County.
The comparatively faster pace of price recovery in the city of Albuquerque is tied to it being the metro's employment hub, thus buyers who put a priority on short work commutes look for homes there, McCrary said. The result is more robust buying and selling activity in Albuquerque than in outlying areas.
The low-key recovery is likely a factor in the subdued pace of house flipping in the metro – 20 flips, or less than 1 percent of home sales in the first quarter – according to foreclosure listing firm RealtyTrac. Nationwide, an average of 3.7 percent of home sales in the first quarter were flips.
Low flip rate
House flipping appears to be a common activity in cities where home prices are on the rise after crashing badly when the housing bubble burst. Examples from the first quarter are Jacksonville, Fla., at 10 percent, San Diego at 7.1 percent, Las Vegas, Nev., at 6.7 percent and Miami at 5.9 percent.
Over the past three years, the Albuquerque metro hasn't seen much flipping, which is defined as a house that's purchased and sold within six months. The same holds true for Las Cruces and Santa Fe, according to RealtyTrac data.
In the first quarter, New Mexico was tied with Alaska for having the fourth-lowest flip rate in the country.
Housing distress also continues to decline in the metro, although it's still more prevalent here than on average nationwide.
The foreclosure rate in February was 2.6 percent for homes with outstanding mortgages, higher than the 1.9 percent rate nationwide, according to CoreLogic. The rate has dropped fairly steadily since peaking at 4.2 percent in April 2012.
The metro's more than 90-day delinquency rate in February was 4.8 percent, equal with the rate nationwide, CoreLogic reported. Like the foreclosure rate, the delinquency rate has dropped fairly steadily since peaking at 6.8 percent during several months in the first half of 2012.

The Blue Star Universal Symbol for colorectal cancer is free to all groups and programs as part of our mission to promote unity in the colorectal cancer field, in recognition of our shared common goal to prevent and eradicate colorectal cancer.
Much like red ribbons for AIDS or pink ribbons for breast cancer, the hope is this symbol will be integrated into existing group awareness efforts and communications tools – incorporated into materials as a representation of our collective fight against colorectal cancer, but not replacing any group's unique identity or unique mark.
This symbol was developed by Addison Whitney, a national branding firm, through a comprehensive logo development process, and focus-group tested nationwide. Many people responding to the focus group questions said they liked this combination of a star and ribbon feeling it embodies power, hope, and awareness. People also reported liking how the symbol can take on a somewhat human form. People responded positively to the twist of merging the typical awareness ribbon, which people have come to know means 'generic awareness' for something, and a star which respondents felt represented remembrance of those who have died from the disease and the hope for a future cure. People responded to the color blue because of its associations with strength and regality.
The new Universal Symbol may be used in one of three ways:

So at the risk of putting words in his mouth, I will take an attempt to explain this further.

Running out of memory is an exceptional condition. Doing something that is likely to cause memory exhaustion is a programming error, because it was the wrong solution to the problem. Memory exhaustion, the exceptional condition, is an end result of making the programming error. In this case (but not all), it is possible to treat the symptoms by handling the exception, but the general solution is to avoid the problem in the first place. > >> And I think I can provide lots of similar examples. >> >> If there exists separation between errors and exceptions, it should be >> very strong >> and evident — otherwise "casual programmers" like myself will need to >> stare at the >> ceiling every time they write something to decide what suits best. > I am not sure when I would every throw an exception in Haskell code, short of re-raising from a handler. Things that I would have used exceptions for in C-sharp can be handled explicitly with Maybe or Either, a style that I greatly prefer.

SHOULD THINGS EVER get nasty for Rupert Murdoch – as they might, if Julian Assange's claims to have a secret "insurance file" on the tycoon are true – then at least he's not going to be short of places to escape the media onslaught.
The US website Curbed.com has unveiled four of Murdoch's secret hideaways around the globe – and it appears the publishing baron's taste is for soft furnishings as heavyweight as his reputation.
From Murdoch's penthouse apartment at 834 Fifth Avenue, to his Beverly Hills getaway, and the Sydney pad his son Lachlan paid $21 million for in 2009, the Murdochs boast properties in some of the world's most exclusive locations.
If you'd like a taste of the lifestyle enjoyed by Murdoch and wife Wendi Deng, you can now charter their 183-foot yacht, the Rosehearty, for just $310,000 a week. But if that's a little out of your price range, you'll just have to make do with salivating over these pictures instead…

State Medicaid programs such as California's Medi-Cal provide health insurance to impoverished children. State Children's Health Insurance Programs (SCHIPs), such as California's Healthy Families, expand eligibility to include children of the working poor. Yet, despite these programs, California children from poor working families were still far less likely to be insured than other poor children and nonpoor children in 2001, according to a study supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS13411).
Sylvia Guendelman, Ph.D., of the University of California, Berkeley, and her colleagues used data from the 2001 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) to compare the health insurance coverage, access to care, and use of health care services for three groups of children: the working poor, nonworking poor, and nonpoor. Working poor families (4,440 children) were those earning less than 200 percent of the Federal poverty level (FPL, $35,300 for a family of four). Nonworking poor families (1,554 children) had an income less than 200 percent of the FPL; parents were not working and/or they relied on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) as their main source of income. Most TANF recipients are not employed. Nonpoor families (10,534 children) earned at least 200 percent of the FPL and did not receive TANF benefits.
Compared with the non-working poor/TANF group, children of the working poor were more likely to be Latino and less likely to be black or Asian, more likely to be undocumented (and thus unable to qualify for Medi-Cal or Healthy Families), and to live in two-parent or larger households. Even after adjusting for other factors, children from working poor families were nearly three times as likely to be uninsured as children from nonworking poor/TANF families, and they were nearly four times as likely to be uninsured as nonpoor children. Children from working poor families were also more than twice as likely as nonpoor children to have their insurance coverage disrupted.
Disparities in access to and use of care among children of the working poor narrowed considerably (except for dental care) after controlling for insurance coverage. These findings attest to the importance of continuing efforts to expand health insurance coverage of the working poor.
See "Access to health care for children and adolescents in working poor families: Recent findings from California," by Dr. Guendelman, Veronica Angulo, M.P.H., and Doug Oman, Ph.D., in the January 2005 Medical Care 43(1), pp. 68-78.

Midwife's name not scanned.
State of Ohio
County of Franklin, SS
In the matter of Pension Claim No. 422.500 of Mary, widow of Wm J Townsend late of Co. "K", 133rd Reg't, Ohio Inft Vol.
Personally came before me, a Notary Public in and for said County and State, Reca Yous aged 65 years.

Benjamin Franklin's notion of good works
Letter to Joseph Huey
Joseph O'Brien 10 p.m., Sept. 20
(Page 3 of 8)
Afterward, the six-year-old Danielle found her mother and, with difficulty, explained what had happened to her. Even though she begged her mother not to say anything, Danielle's dad was promptly told. "I have a recollection that my dad, who was and still is a huge tree of a man, a tough-ass Sicilian fisherman who has a total reputation for being a ball-smasher of a guy, walked over there and had a little talk with Kenneth -- that was his name, and I have hated that name ever since." Danielle doesn't know what became of the boy and can't remember ever seeing him again.
"Say It" earned a nomination in 2000 for a Los Angeles Music Award in the "Best Female Singer/Songwriter" category. The awards ceremony, which takes place in Hollywood, was held at the House of Blues. Producers of the show dubbed Danielle the "Say It Girl." "The saddest and sickest part of that whole thing is that they found the song sexy," Danielle says. When the producers called to inform her of her nomination, they gushed about how provocative her song was. "All they listened to was the tone of my voice, like that whisper-talk tone right up close on the mike; they didn't even pay attention to the story." Danielle informed them that the song was about child molestation and abuse, and one of the producers said, "Girl, I just want to hear your voice whispering to me, I don't care what the song's about."
The producers referred Danielle to Todd Cooper, an attorney known for brokering the best deals. They told her, "Listen, your stuff is so hot all you need is this guy on your side and all speculation will go away and you will be signed." Danielle never met the man face to face, but he was the inspiration for the song she would pen after their first and only phone conversation, called "Dear Mr. Penishead."
The attorney listened to Danielle's CD. Then he called her at her home in Van Nuys and asked, "Can I be straight with you?" His next words stopped her: "Quit music." He continued, "You're an attractive woman, you seem to be reasonably intelligent, so quit music and find something else that you're really good at, now, while you still can." Danielle tried to end the conversation, but he cut her off and launched into a 20-minute diatribe.
In her song, "Mr. Penishead," Danielle sings: "It was so kind of you to take 20 of your very busy minutes to tell me what you could have said in 2. All that expert advice, are you sure there's no charge? 'Cause when I write it out the list is so large."
Now, as she remembers the phone call, Danielle sounds irritated. "It takes less than two minutes to tell an artist, 'Listened to your music, hate it, thank you very much.' But he just went on and on. He said, 'You're writing adult music. And there's no market for that. Teenagers are the ones who move the units. The business of music has nothing to do with music, nothing. It has to do with one thing and one thing only -- money. Hear me and hear me good. Your music will not sell units. If you are writing music that does not appeal to teenagers, which is what you're doing, you are wasting your time and you are wasting my time. You cannot be pretty. You have to be gorgeous. You cannot be smart. You have to be genius. You have to be the most amazing, incredible, awe-inspiring creature to have walked planet Earth in order to make it in this business.' "
Danielle called a friend. "I told him about the whole thing, and I told him, 'I am so mad that I feel like killing somebody or something or myself. I want to break something, I want to hurt something!' These are the broken-record responses that you hear from the A&R people -- you're not thin enough, or sexy enough, or coquettish enough, 'You don't fit the image,' and 'Your style is too diverse; you need to be all angry or all sad, all poppy or all sexy."
The Start of Something Good
In 2001, Danielle started her own label, Say It Records. "When it's all told, to establish the record company and get the first real quality piece of music done, it was about $20,000." She funded the project with her savings. To get started, Danielle read All You Need to Know about the Music Business, by Donald S. Passman, and obtained a DBA, or "doing business as," for the name Say It Records. She then acquired a post-office box and hired someone to help create a website, all of which cost around $800 and "a lot of time and energy." Fifteen thousand dollars went to three producers. "You write a song and bring them your chords and your lyrics and melody, and producers make it sound gorgeous by adding organ and a kick-ass drumbeat and arranging it and so on. Basically, the song comes naked, and they dress the song," Danielle explains. The last step of creating a record is called "mastering," which cost Danielle $1000. Finally, it cost $2000 to reproduce the CDs, not including $500 that went to a man named Xavier for art direction.
Once her label was set up, Danielle moved back to San Diego. On September 28, 2003, while playing a gig at the San Diego Dyke March, she met Alicia, who was also booked to perform. Danielle watched Alicia's set and asked for her contact information. A few months later, she called Alicia (who was still living in Los Angeles) and asked if she wanted to come down to San Diego and audition for Danielle's new band, Danielle LoPresti and the Masses. Alicia agreed and arrived to the audition prepared. "She had every song I had sent her memorized and played without a note in front of her," Danielle says.
In March 2004, Alicia, Danielle, and Kelly Bowen (who had been playing with Danielle since she was referred by a friend in 2001) produced a show in celebration of Women's History Month. Because it was a positive experience, they decided to produce another event, one that focused on independent music. They scheduled the event for November of that same year. A small team was established. It included Alicia, Danielle, Kelly, an artist's manager, and two old college friends of Alicia's who were still living in Los Angeles.

find command on subdirectories
Believe the find command should search in all subdirectories but for some reason it doesn't on a box I'm working on. For example, if I have the following
find / -name test
It wouldn't find the file /etc/mydir/test, if I execute the command in /etc. Can someone please explain what I need to do to enable search also in the subdirectories recursively?
You have to be running the command as 'root' to be able to search through system directories.
To add to that, the find command by default searches recursively. I normally use the find command along with grep to find what I need to.
The find command you are using should list subdirectories.
If permissions prevent find reading subdirectories, it will give an error message.
Maybe find is not running /usr/bin/find; what is the output of which find?

Why you should exercise disaster recovery procedures

To ensure that all the disaster recovery procedures and activities specified in a DR plan work as intended, the plans should be validated by exercising them using a number of approaches. At a minimum a table-top exercise can provide a way to walk through all steps of a DR plan without dealing with an actual event. This technique brings all relevant players together to check that all DR procedures are correct, in the proper sequence, and that all team members understand their roles in the recovery.
To ensure that technology focused plans -- such as those recovering servers for example -- work properly a functional exercise is advised. In this exercise the server in question is taken off-line and backup/recovery sequences are activated using scripts or whatever technique is preferred. This exercise verifies that the scripts include the correct information, the sequence of steps is correct, and all designated employees are able to recover the failed server. After each exercise, be sure to conduct a review of the exercise to find out what worked, what didn't work, and identify changes to the plan.
In addition to plan exercising, it's essential to have a maintenance process for all plans. This includes regularly scheduled plan reviews and exercises, updates to risk assessments and BIAs, and updates to technical data and emergency contact lists. To further ensure that plans as well as the overall program are functioning smoothly, annual audits are recommended. Work with internal and/or external auditors to make sure they understand how to audit DR plans.

CLOVIS, N.M. (AP) - A man convicted of sexually assaulting his ex-girlfriend at gunpoint before pointing a weapon at Clovis police has been sentenced to 23 years in prison.
Prosecutors say 25-year-old Paul Villanueva was sentenced Tuesday and will serve at least 85 percent of his term.
Villanueva will be required to register as a lifetime sex offender and must serve up to 20 years of intensely supervised probation and lifetime parole.
He had faced up to a 70-year sentence after being convicted in the case.
Villanueva was charged with kidnapping, aggravated burglary, criminal sexual penetration and assault with a deadly weapon on peace officers.
Authorities say Villanueva broke into his ex-girlfriend's home on May 16, 2012. He was later shot by a Clovis police officer and spent two weeks in a hospital.

Once in the dear dead days beyond recall, an out-of-town visitor was being shown the wonders of the New York financial district. When the party arrived at the Battery, one of his guides indicated some handsome ships riding at anchor. He said,
"Look, those are the bankers' and brokers' yachts."
"Where are the customers' yachts?" asked the naïve visitor.
–quoted at the beginning of Frank Schwed's 1940 classic on Wall Street, Where Are the Customers' Yachts?
Two of the stock market's biggest collapses occurred on October 24 — "Black Thursday" in 1929 and "Bloody Friday" in 2008. In his introduction to the 2005 edition of Schwed's book, Money magazine's Jason Zweig says that the yacht question is as relevant as ever:
The names and faces and machinery of Wall Street have changed completely from Schwed's day, but the game remains the same. The individual investor is still situated at the very bottom of the food chain, a speck of plankton afloat in a sea of predators. In fact, Wall Street has changed so little that Schwed's mockery, with the passage of time, has become indistinguishable from prophecy.
