Cricket has often become a metaphor for politics- it did so in the 1930s when the famous Bodyline series became part of Australian national identity and Sir Donald Bradman the first Australian icon. Its done so several times on the sub continent- I was at the Oval Test Match this summer to see Tendulkar score 91 and saw a devotion to him that eclipsed the purely sporting. Fire in Babylon is about another such moment- when West Indian cricket came to dominate the sport for a twenty year period. Led by their thoughtful captain Clive Lloyd the West Indies moved from being a team of talented individuals to becoming a team of amazing players who bonded and played together like a team. Having been scarred by Australia in 1976, Lloyd found a group of fast bowlers- famous names that will endure- Holding, Croft, Garner, Marshall, Roberts and the rest who put the world's cricket teams to the sword. Just look at the clip above where Brian Close confronts HOlding at the Oval: you can feel the aggression in Holding's bowling.
Fire in Babylon tells the story of the transition from Calypso Cricket to this new more fiery and determined West Indian side. It puts it into the context of the racial and colonial politics of the late 20th Century. The story suggests that West Indian cricket was partially motivated by a national struggle to put the West Indies on the map. Independence was only managed in the late 1960s so the teams that played England in the seventies and eighties were teams that came from a very new set of countries. Furthermore they were filled with the ethos of the American civil rights movement. Interview after interview- particularly with Viv Richards- proclaims the importance of Luther King and of Bob Marley. These men when they came to England or Australia were racially abused by the crowds who would shout insults at them: some of which stunned a West Indian team brought up in a newly independent world. They knew about South Africa and events happening under Apartheid. They understood themselves in some sense as messengers from the third world, coming to beat the first world English and Australians. Part of the story of the cricket of that generation was as Michael Holding argues, putting their cricket up with English and Australian Cricket: saying to the English and Australians that West Indies Cricket had to be taken seriously. Fire in Babylon is metaphor used by a rastapharian member of the Wailers and friend of Richards to describe what the cricketers were doing. Running through the film are interviews with Richards's teacher, with the Wailers, with others who were involved at the time.
This part of the story was definitely there- you can see it in the interviews with Roberts and Richards and the rest- they cared and thought about this stuff and were politically motivated. The film neglects though to develop two important angles on the cricket of the time. The first is that it doesn't show that the West Indies were a clever cricket team. This wasn't just a matter of getting together four guys who could bowl at 90 m.p.h: that's happened before and will happen again, it was that these young men were intelligent cricketers. They could think as well as blast batsmen out. That cricket sense is actually not given the attention it should have: consequently you don't develop during watching the film the admiration you should develop for these guys. They aren't political philosophers- their political theory is bound to be less developed- but they were amazing cricketers so should be interviewed about how they worked out how to get batsmen out and intimidate bowlers. It wasn't just brute strength. Secondly the political aspect isn't allowed the complexity it needs. There are hints during the film that things were not so straight forward. Colin Croft and Clive Lloyd toured South Africa in the early eighties- they aren't allowed to explain why. There is a political edge that some of the interviews belie. Furthermore lots of the politics comes from those who were hanging around Richards: its not to deny that it was there but equally the multiplicity of experience that went to make up that team has to be appreciated.
Fire in Babylon is ultimately disappointing because it doesn't focus on the cricketers and the cricket enough. It presents a story whereby West Indian nationhood was remade by cricket- that's partly true and its important that the West Indian team demonstrated that a third world, black team could play the white first world teams at their own game and win. It was a reminder that its not the colour of your skin, but in this case the content of your cricket character that determines your life. But its also important to note that the team was not a political movement but filled by individuals who had different perspectives on their times. What propelled them to the top wasn't just their brute strength and speed, it was skill and intelligence. Ultimately these men were phenomenonal- just look at the clip above again, when you see Close duck and dive you are seeing the last of the cricketers of the 1950s dive out of history and when you see Holding bowl, you see the twenty first century. That the twenty first century cricketer was created not in England, nor in Australia or South Africa or India, but in a set of small islands out in the middle of the Caribean is testament to the brilliance of the individuals who performed that task. In that process they overcame the hideous racism of the cricket establishment and also assisted in the creation of nations in the Carribean (and it would be interesting to know how the different islands saw the team- something the film doesn't get into). Ultimately though I wanted more cricket and less politics.

Blue Dog, it isn't personal
Orange flowers, I like you. I like you a lot. I like it when I receive you for no reason at all*.
Curve of Pursuit blanket, why can't you knit yourself? You are like a scarf, times 100. I'm trying to infuse you with good thoughts, but I'm afraid that I'm unintentionally infusing you with I-hate-knitting-garter-stitch thoughts. I can see it now, the giftees will wrap the blankets around themselves, then look at each other and say, "I don't know what garter stitch is, but I sure hate it!" Yet, I have hope that I will love you, Curve of Pursuit blanket, and possibly even miss you, when you are gone. That is always how these things go. Again, it isn't personal.
*Keep 'em coming, flower giver!

Lucas Browne targeting David Price in 2013
UNBEATEN Australian banger Lucas 'Big Daddy' Browne believes he's on course to challenge British heavyweight hope David Price for his Commonwealth title at some stage this year.
Price's promoter Frank Maloney recently claimed that the world's big men are running from the 6ft 8in Liverpudlian, but Lucas says he'll be more than happy to face him once he's got a little more experience under his belt.
"If I have a few more fights and if I prepare myself correctly I will have a good chance of beating him," Browne, 33, said.
"I'm not silly enough to think I'm unbeatable, but at the same time neither is he.
"Like every well-managed fighter, Price has been tested enough for his skill level at the time and think that he now needs to go up against a big hitter and show that he can also take a hit as well as he can dish one out.
"With a little more experience under my belt, the right fitness, and a good training camp, my power will be too much for him.
"Either way, it will get people talking, and also shut a few people up."
Browne's manager Matt Clark added: "We certainly respect David Price. He's been exceptional since turning professional. He's yet to have his chin tested yet, though, and Lucas Browne will certainly do that.
"Price has the Commonwealth title and it's something that we want."
Browne was due to engage in a Commonwealth title eliminator with Sheffield's Richard Towers in Hong Kong last month. However, Towers had to sadly pull out after suffering an ear complaint in training.
It is likely that the pair will need agree to face each other again in order for one of them to earn a shot at Price.

Official International Inauguration of the Route verte
The official international inauguration of the Route verte, a bicycle route extending for more than 4,000 kilometres developed over a period of more than 12 years by almost a thousand different organizations, was held August 10th in Quebec City, coinciding with the arrival of the 2,000 participants in the Grand Tour, Quebec's leading bicycle tourism event.
Commenting on the "Route verte tornado" that swept throughout Quebec over the past 26 days, Jean-François Pronovost, Executive Director of Vélo Québec Association and overseer of the development of the Route verte, delightedly exclaimed, "Mission accomplished!" while reviewing the series of activities held to mark the official international inauguration of the Route verte.
First, the Destination Route verte '07 tour, which began on July 16, 2007, in the municipality of Ville-Marie in Témiscamingue, was an opportunity to call for action to complete the Route verte and to encourage all Quebecers to explore their Route verte. On each day of this fabulous trip, the six young Destination Route verte '07 participants explored a different segment of the Route verte and met with dozens of regional bikeway development partners.
Also, during a six-day exploratory trip on the Route verte, the participants in the International Mobile Forum, representatives of major cycling organizations and developers of major bikeways (Canada, United States, Europe) engaged in fruitful discussions with builders of the Route verte in various regions of Quebec.
Lastly, the morning of the 10th saw the conclusion of a series of regional inaugural events held in 24 cities and towns across Quebec: Montreal, Laval, Gatineau, Thurso, Shawinigan, Trois-Rivières, Saguenay, Alma, Longueuil, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Granby, Sherbrooke, Drummondville, Victoriaville, Lévis, Saint-Georges, Rivière-du-Loup, Rimouski, Gaspé, Bonaventure, Ville-Marie, Lorrainville, Saint-Jérôme and Charlemagne. Coordinated by the municipalities, these events highlighted the efforts of all those who have contributed-and who continue to contribute-to the development and improvement of the Route verte in the various regions.
Today, Vélo Québec Association Executive Director Jean-François Pronovost noted, "The Route verte is now 87% complete." According to Vélo Québec projections, based on the progress of current projects, the rate of completion will reach 90% by the end of 2007. With the segments in 13 regions over 85% complete, the bicycle route currently serves 300 municipalities and 3,000 kilometres have already been marked with the official Route verte crest. Pronovost also took this opportunity to point out that "the official international inauguration of the Route verte has given us a chance to collectively establish new objectives for the next five years":
complete the Route verte as well as the links with routes in United States and Ontario;
complete and improve the signage all along the Route verte;
provide for the sustainability of the existing infrastructures;
enhance awareness of the Route verte beyond our borders.
In closing, he added: "The development of the Route verte would not be possible without the constant support of Transports Québec, which from the outset has fulfilled the commitment of Government of Québec and allocated funds for the construction and maintenance of the Route verte in conjunction with regional partners. This initiative would also be impossible without the commitment and efforts of volunteers in the field, trail managers, regional tourism associations, tourism establishments and bicycle industry partners. Also, during this inauguration year, we have been able to count on the support of the companies PROXIM, a major network of independent pharmacists, and GAZ MÉTRO, which agreed to serve as official sponsors. This has allowed us to hold various events throughout the summer."
The Route verte concept originated with Vélo Québec Association and is being developed in collaboration with the Government of Québec, particularly Transports Québec, as well as regional partners.

Today I have checked my Roboto and it have a new crack that never existed before. When I bought the figure the release day it had a small crack on the left. Now it has a new crack on the right and the original crack is even bigger reaching to the pectoral zone.
When I twisted the waist in order to check the gears, the cracks even opened more, so I stop any more movement.
Someone else?

First Post @ First One @ One First
My name is Mike Sacks. I am a third-year law student at Georgetown interested in legal journalism and the intersection of law and politics. This semester, I have no morning classes. As such, I will be taking advantage of living only minutes from the Supreme Court to pursue a rather unorthodox extracurricular activity: reporting from the Court as the first one in line at One First Street.
For every politically salient case from January through April, I will attempt to be at the head of the general admission line. This is no mean feat: for the September rehearing of Citizens United v. FEC–also Justice Sotomayor's first appearance on the Bench–much of the line started forming around 4am. How do I know this? Because I claimed my first ever "First One @ One First" ticket by spreading my blanket on the sidewalk at 11pm the previous night.
As a Duke University graduate, I should have ample camping-out experience. But in my four years as an undergraduate, I actively sought to–and succeeded in–securing my admission into the Duke-UNC games without once suffering through wintry nights in a flimsy tent perched on the soggy soil of Krzyzewskiville. Indeed, as a former "Nina Totintern," I once enjoyed a similar evasion of the elements at the Supreme Court. But those halcyon days of press-passed entrances are over. Now I must rough it.
Camping out at the Court in winter's nadir will not be easy. Tents are forbidden. The concrete sidewalk makes for an unforgiving bed. Sprinklers spring up in the still of the night. Challenging climate be damned, however; when the next person arrives, excited to be first, he or she will find me, with my cracked lips and frozen fingers, sardonically asking how it feels to be second and seriously inquiring why he or she is crazy enough to get in line so early.
And that question–"why are you here?"–is what I set out to explore. Every Supreme Court reporter tells us what goes on inside the Court at argument and in its opinions. Every Supreme Court reporter gets insight and analysis from expert academics and practitioners. Sometimes Supreme Court reporters even interview a party in the case to expose the human element often lost in the rarefied air of high court's legal abstraction. But no Supreme Court reporters ever ask the Courtroom's spectators why they have congregated inside the Temple of our Civil Religion.
Our citizenry who have come to witness the Court first-hand surely have something to say, whether when waiting in line before the Court opens or spilling out onto the steps after the Chief Justice's gavel bangs closed the day's session. Perhaps no one ever asks them because our judiciary is supposed to function independent of public passions. But only the most dogmatic adherents to the mythology of an insulated Court will maintain that our Third Branch is apolitical. Look to the anti-abortion protesters who spend every day standing silent in front of the Court or the grandstanding Senators asking stonewalling judicial nominees for their views on the day's hot-button political issues. Look at the Court's history in matters of race, sex, Presidential power,economic policy, law enforcement, sexual orientation, to name only a handful, to find the Court inexorably intertwined with the era's political climate. Look even at the Court itself: justices are labeled for their fidelity to liberalism or conservatism, however epochally defined.
The Court is responsive to politics. Consequentially, the vox populi should matter for those interested in the Court. What does the person in line at 5am hope to see in this case? Why is the family that shows up at 9am hoping to get in? How many of those waiting for the doors to open are lawyers invested in the litigation or legal issues at play or professionals or citizens who will be impacted by how the Court may rule? How many people exiting the Court even understood what they just saw and heard? Do they care or were they just there to be there? All of these people represent the American public. How they vote is impacted by how they perceive our country's system of governance. Their experience with the Court–whether from the position of knowledge or ignorance, veneration or cynicism, all of the above, or somewhere in between–helps shape our political dialogue that informs who we elect to represent us in the Executive and Legislative Branches. These branches, in turn, shape the judiciary through nominations and confirmations; and the judiciary, thus shaped, passes judgment on the political choices made by earlier–and sometimes contemporary–Presidents and Congresses.
Accordingly, my other aim for this project is to test my hypothesis that the Roberts Court has been quite responsive to its surrounding, and shifting, political climate. I have a forthcoming piece detailing my thoughts, but I will preview my evidence:
- During the 2006-07 term, the first full term in which both Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito served together, Republicans controlled the White House and both chambers of Congress. Meanwhile, the Roberts Court aggressively pushed rightward on abortion, student speech, school desegregation, gender discrimination, and campaign finance.
- The Court's 2007-08 term proceeded alongside a divided government with a Republican President and Democratic majorities in the House and Senate. The Court reflected the division: President Bush, seeking a legacy, saw a conservative interpretation of the Second Amendment win out in Heller; the Democratic Congress, elected in a wave of anti-war sentiment, found its hostility to Bush's war on terror policies reflected in the Court's granting habeas corpus rights to Guantanamo detainees in Boumediene.
- Last term, which straddled the Bush and Obama presidencies, found the Court taking a blockbuster case in in September 2008 that threatened to invalidate a key civil rights provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, but pulled back with an 8-1 decision in June 2009 upholding the provision.
- This term, the first one fully operating alongside a Democratic Presidency and Congress, is progressing in an almost post-partisan fashion, as if the conservative Court has taken to heart President Obama's overtures to the Right unwelcome among Congressional Republicans. The Court is reckoning with one case that pits liberal values against liberal values, another in which two conservative values clash; further, McDonald v. City of Chicago may result in a grand bargain in which the conservative Heller majority can extend its interpretation of the Second Amendment to the states by breathing new life into a clause of the Fourteenth Amendment that could strengthen constitutional protection for liberal causes. In fact, the only case that threatens a drastic shift to the right in a politically salient issue is Citizens United, the campaing finance case I camped out for in September. And not only is that case officially part of last term, but also the fact that no opinion has come down yet has led some to speculate that it may not be the cut-and-dry 5-4 conservative opinion most expect. But more on that case, and how it fits into my hypothesis, when the decision actually comes down.
Finally, I will use this site to post other thoughts on the Court that I haven't yet read anywhere else. Given that the legal and political blogs tend to express every possible sentiment existing in this world and parallel universes, these entries will likely be rare and in the shape of wild conjecture. When another site says something I'm thinking, almost always much better than I can express it myself, I will post it here. Further, when another site says something exceedingly compelling that I have not yet thought or I could have never come up with by myself, I will post it here. And if another site says something exceedingly objectionable and I have something to contribute to it, I will post it here.
Thank you for reading. If this introduction has gained your interest–and if you're this far, I hope it has–please subscribe and share!

Hey Mike! This sounds like an amazing project. Best of luck to you. I'll link to your blog from mine and will be excited to get updates. Best, Erin
I look forward to reading about your journey outside the Bighouse.

Excited to see how this turns out, Mike.
Also, I'm still shocked you never camped out at K-ville.
This sounds like an interesting project. Obviously, only time will tell how fruitful it proves to be. Best of luck.
Excellent idea! I blogged about your project here http://joshblackman.com/blog/?p=3603
As the second person in line for the Caperton v. Massey Coal argument (6:00 a.m., snow on the ground) and a veteran of Duke basketball campouts (only the less strenuous grad student campouts), I have to say that this seems like a great (crazy) idea! I'm definitely signing up!
Interesting thoughts about the political leanings of the Court due to a given climate. I have to think more about it.
One point, though. You suggest that W advanced his conservative legacy with Heller, but I am relatively certain that the Solicitor General argued against the course taken by the majority in Heller. He asked for the court to find that an individual right existed, but also wanted the handgun ban to survive and have it face review at lower levels again.

JollyOutings.com (temporary, brand will change)
JollyOutings.com is a collaborative community of family fun experts sharing information about the best family activities and destinations. The site is built on user-contributed content. Users can rate content posted by other users. The idea is to put together the best user-generated guide of destinations to visit with kids.
Families with kids of any age.
Wire frames are attached. Please view them.
I'm planning to use the jQuery UI to build the front-end and I would like to use the "UI lightness" theme, so please design something that fits around that.
(see template gallery to view the template)
I prefer something fairly minimalist. Colours should be bright and fun, but the design should not be childish. There is a lot of text on the site and I need a good design to break up the content sections and make the site look good.
I prefer the background on the site where text appears to be white. The boxes can be filled with a background colour, but very light if at all. In other words, text should be dark and the background light like on most other sites.
The width of the site should be 950 pixels.
Please don't include photographs because I don't want photos that don't relate to specific destinations on the site. However, you should include line graphics.
I already have some graphics for the ratings. They are attached. Note that a logo is not required.
*** Listings page ***
I would like to see an attractive graphic for each of the boxes on the left to make them stand out. Preferably, each box heading should include a nice illustration. The illustrations should be fun. For example, for the contributor tools box I'm thinking about something like "TLC" (needs tender loving care). Something that encourages people to contribute. I definitely don't want to see anything technical there, e.g. no spanners!
Destinations are shown on the right in the boxes.
*** Destination page ***
You can see the content in the wire frames. There is a lot of text. Design something to break this up a bit and make the page look interesting.
I need a nice "more content needed" logo or icon.
This is a new site.

The work I do allows your mind to wander, and reality becomes increasingly surreal, or just too real... After hours on the computer, you look at a friend and are distracted by the realization that their left eye is smaller than the right one, that they have chapped knuckles and abnormally blue veins.
I have tried to be zen in my work, and failing at that, have made these pictures. The compositions are automated, in 20-60 layers. They are mostly placed on the original backgrounds. Wherever there was a flaw, you see a mark. These marks, separated from the original, just to keep some kind of record and to draw a line between what is yours and what is mine. They look like ghosts to me. — Maura Murnane

Paleo Plan: The first few days January 6
So, apparently I still know how to log in here.
I needed a place to write up my thoughts about trying out Paleo Plan, and this seemed like as good a place as any.
Intuitively, I like the idea of the "paleo" diet (though I'm not a huge fan of its adherents). An emphasis on whole foods, with a side effect of being lower carb by default (and not to hard to make totally low carb) seems like something that should work for me. Nerd 2 and I gave "going paleo" a try for a couple of months last year but couldn't stick with it, non-paleo foods are just so much easier. And so very _there_, you know? I also felt a fair bit of guilt over foisting such a drastic lifestyle change on Nerd 2 when I had no reason to believe that it would do any good.
Anyways, between trainings and deployment, Nerd 2 is going to be out of the picture for the vast majority of 2014. In addition, 2014 is looking to be a crazy year for me what with working a new job, graduating school, bar exam, then (hopefully) working an even more stressful new job and all. I tend to be a bit control freaky in the kitchen, but I think that this year is not such a bad time let go a little, and have someone else tell me what to do.
Enter Paleo Plan. The basic idea is that for $10/month, they will prepare paleo friendly meal plans for 2 adults, cross-indexed to a shopping list and their recipe database. Essentially taking the thought out of meal planning, but still allowing me the actual cooking time that I enjoy. They have a 14 day trial period, and I figured I'd test it out while Nerd 2 is away on his first stint.
Right now, it's Tuesday of my first week. I went shopping last Saturday. The shopping list was _long_. Even with trying (to some extent) to size things down for 1 person and taking into account the staples that I already have around the house, it was the fullest my shopping cart had been in a long time. I probably spend 20 minutes in the produce section getting everything together. The checkout lady even complimented my "healthy eating". All told, I spent about $136 at Cub Foods to get most of the items on the list. I needed to make another detour to Mississippi Market for tapioca flour for another $5ish. This is a pretty high grocery bill for me (especially considering that Nerd 2 isn't eating off of this), but the plan is structured to cover breakfast and lunch and will hopefully help me kill off my nasty skyway lunch habit.
The recipes (which are all available for free on their site here) have been hit and miss so far. They seem like they were either written by someone who doesn't have a lot of cooking technique, or someone who does have a lot of cooking knowledge but isn't good at writing recipes. That being said, they are simple enough to improve on the fly if you have a bit of a clue about working in the kitchen.
For example, let's take the Teriyaki Chicken that I made last night (that was supposed to be Monday night's meal, but I have switched some meals around in order to better plan for freezing and thawing and ripening based on a Saturday shopping day — that's something that I wish the Plan did better by default). First, I am not sure what universe there is that this recipe counts as Teriyaki Chicken. Pineapple? Really? If it had been called Hawaiian Chicken, I could have believed that. Next, the cooking order seemed a little broken: cooking onions at the same time as _all_ the chicken? It seemed like a recipe for overcrowding the pan and getting disappointing caramelization. Instead, I browned the chicken in batches, then sweated the onions some before adding the rest of the veggies and returning the chicken – pretty standard stir-fry technique. The recipe is also desperately lacking in spices – if I make it again, I'll be liberally adding garlic/ginger, but as it was I just ended up dousing heavily with sriracha after it was finished (sriracha has a fair bit of sugar, but for the 80/20 paleo that I'm trying to achieve here it's just fine).
The Gingery Broccoli Beef was similarly underwhelming. Which is pretty hilarious if you look at the comments on the recipe complaining about how "spicy" it is. Sigh.
On the other hand, these Pumpkin Flatbreads were pretty amazingly good. Entirely worth making an extra trip for the tapioca flour, and they solve a standard breakfast time problem for me — I tend to eat breakfast on the go, and for that I usually need something wrapped in something. So tortillas or lefse or bread or other non-paleo things end up sneaking in right first thing in the morning which just throws the whole day off. They are pretty carby, but I'm not trying to go into ketosis or anything here so I'll take it.
So, after the first few days, it seems to be going OK. I'm not blown away (except by the flatbreads), and I'm going to need to insert my brain into things more than I had hoped (but hopefully it's just things like reordering the meals on the schedule, upping the spice level, and tinkering with technique). I'll definitely ride this out through the 14 day trial, and maybe pay for one month while Nerd 2 is around.

Joseph W. McLeary, who served with the city Police Department, Maryland State Police and the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency during a more than four-decade career, died Sunday of a massive stroke at Greater Baltimore Medical Center. He was 73.
"Joe loved the state police, and he carried that into retirement," said state police spokesman Greg Shipley.
"It was obvious that being a state police officer was something that never left him. He even still wore the state police haircut," he said. "He had many, many friends throughout the department, and he had the respect of troopers across the state."
"Joe liked to think that he was helping people — people who were in distress," said Bill Toohey, former Baltimore County police spokesman, who is now director of communications for the Governor's Office of Crime Control & Prevention. "Some cops grow bitter and angry, but Joe never did."
The son of a General Motors autoworker and a homemaker, Joseph William McLeary was born in Baltimore and raised in Dundalk.
After graduating in 1959 from Dundalk High School, Mr. McLeary enlisted in the Army and served with the 504th Military Police at Fort Gordon, Ga.
Discharged in 1962, he joined the Baltimore Police Department and rose from the foot patrol to serving as an undercover officer and in the motorcycle unit.
Mr. McLeary began his state police career in 1966 when he joined the aviation unit and was one of the first paramedics to serve in the division. He transferred to plainclothes, where he worked as an investigator from 1973 to 1975, when he was promoted to supervisor.
In 1979, he helped organize the internal affairs unit, and then was named assistant commander and later acting commander.
Promoted to detective sergeant in 1981, he supervised the criminal investigation section of the Maryland Port Administration at the Dundalk Marine Terminal. In 1984, he was assigned to headquarters, where he worked in the criminal investigation division, and in 1990 to the Glen Burnie barracks, where he oversaw its criminal investigation division.
He was commander of the licensing service section at his 1992 retirement.
During his years with the state police, Mr. McLeary was a regular teacher at its academy.
"I first became aware of Joe when I was attending the Maryland State Police Academy as a member of the Class of 1978," recalled Mr. Shipley.
"Here was this sharply dressed criminal investigator lecturing us on a sensitive subject. He delivered it with both facts and a sense of comedy. He had a great comedic wit," he said. "He was a character, and we were in awe of the guy. We never forgot him, and all these years later, we still talk about him and that class."
"He could relate to them in a very personal way, and that's why they remember him now," said Mr. Toohey.
During the 1970s, Mr. McLeary studied at Loyola University Maryland and the Community College of Baltimore County in Essex.
"After the state police, however, he started a whole new adventure working for FEMA," said Mr. Toohey. "Because he was retired, without any full-time commitments, and because he had experience in dealing with traumatic events, he became an emergency worker for FEMA. They called on him, at the drop of a hat, to respond to some disaster, often quite distant, and assist in some form or other."
For a decade, Mr. McLeary roamed the world on missions that took him from Hurricane Marilyn, which ravaged St. Croix in 1995, to the Olympics in Atlanta in 1996, to the Red River flood in 1997 that inundated Grand Forks, Neb.
In 1999, Mr. McLeary spent more than a month at Fort Dix, N.J., in medical support assisting Albanian refugees from Kosovo. During Hurricane Katrina in 2005, he worked more than a month in Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
But the World Trade Center attack in 2001 was one of the most traumatic events that Mr. McLeary faced.
"He was working at Bellevue Hospital, where he met people coming in looking for their loved ones," said Mr. Toohey. "He was just trying to help people get through their stress."
"What bothered him most was going through the streets and seeing the pictures and notes saying, 'Have you seen so and so? If so, please call this number.' It really affected him," said his wife of nearly 50 years, the former Margaret Anne "Meg" Frisino.
Hurricane Katrina was his last mission, and he retired in 2005.
At the time of his death, the longtime Lutherville resident was working as a bailiff for the District Court of Baltimore County in Towson.
Mr. McLeary and his wife were avid Johns Hopkins lacrosse fans and were season ticket holders. He also enjoyed raising bull terriers.
He was an active member of the 504th Military Police Battalion and enjoyed traveling by train to attend the annual reunions. He also liked to vacation in New England in the fall and at Niagara-on-the-Lake in Canada in the spring.
"Every December, we visited the Grand Illumination at Williamsburg" in Virginia, said Mrs. McLeary.
Mr. McLeary was a member of American Legion Post 183 in Parkville, where he was in charge of the Boys State program.
For more than 50 years, the couple were regulars at Squire's Restaurant on Holabird Avenue in Dundalk.
"We went every Friday at 7:30 p.m. either alone or with another couple, and we always sat at the same table, No. 243," said Mrs. McLeary.
Mr. McLeary was a communicant of Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church, Baltimore and Ware avenues in Towson, where a Mass of Christian burial will be offered at 11 a.m. Friday.
In addition to his wife, Mr. McLeary is survived by a sister, Edwina Jensen of Atlantic, Iowa; and several nieces and nephews.

Why UltraKey Belongs Behind Bars!
August 15, 2015 by Art Willer #prison corrections education training0
The Minnesota Department of Corrections Education Unit recently put UltraKey behind bars, choosing UltraKey to teach inmates how to type!
For years, the Education Unit has provided a range of skill development to inmates, including keyboarding. Recently, the Department set out to establish a common instructional approach with a standard software solution. After considerable research, UltraKey rose to the top of their most wanted list.
The Education Unit was already impressed with the quality of instruction in UltraKey, and with its ability to keep thousands of records, using a single server, connected to eleven facilities. This, along with the ability to run independent of any Internet connection, met the MN DOC's education needs.
However, the Education Unit had additional security and administrative needs. They approached Bytes of Learning to see what we could do for them.
Bytes of Learning reviewed those needs and decided they could be met with a manageable amount of research and development. We also decided to make the modifications at no extra charge to the Department, because we concluded the changes would benefit other UltraKey customers.
What the Education Unit Needed:
• Transfer over 500 inmate records a day with minimal administrative effort.
• Do all that transferring without interfering with the local instruction control that lets teachers manage the learning.
• Protect privacy by letting inmates log into UltraKey without seeing the names of other inmates using the program.
• Prevent inmates from accessing any file-open commands, eliminating any possibility they could explore computer systems.
What Bytes of Learning Delivered:
Bytes of Learning created a new build of UltraKey with all the Education Unit needs in mind. The enhancements the Department requested, plus a number of our own initiatives are now being released to all users as build series 6.4.
The following solutions are unique to UltraKey and make it the ultimate keyboarding choice for any corrections department.
• Housing the entire state's population of inmates in one secure host.
• Enrolling and transferring over 30,000 user records in a single process, at a rate of over 10,000 records per hour.
• Restricting transfers to the site level, while letting instructors manage all records within their site.
• Providing instructors enrollment and transfer capability, so they are not dependent on central administration to keep records current, while limiting that capability so instructors can only change the information within their classes.
• Letting inmates log in using IDs and passwords, rather than browsing classes and names.
• Allowing all file exploring capability to be disabled.
The Result:
The Minnesota Department of Corrections Education Unit was impressed with how UltraKey performed during their trials, even before any changes were made.
They were grateful for the opportunity to discuss the needs that UltraKey did not meet during the trial. So were we.
The education technicians found it commendable that a producer would modify a publicly available product to meet their needs. We felt it was a privilege.
The Education Unit was delighted with the solutions Bytes of Learning came up with, and are looking forward to continuing their state-wide implementation of UltraKey with Bytes of Learning on their team.
Contact us to discuss this or any other questions you may have about using UltraKey in your corrections system. To conduct your own evaluation, request a trial license. To let us price your licensing needs, please request a quote.

It appears that many people or sys admin want to run php 5 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Unfortunately Redhat does not provide this package (RPM file) for RHEL. You can download source code and install php 5 from official php site. This requires compiler collection on your system. Download source code and just follow instructions presented in INSTALL or REDME file.
Another option is search and installs PHP 5 packages. You can download x86_64 PHP 5 package here. Use wget command to download these packages and rpm command to install new packages. But first remove old php4 package using rpm -e command.
Alert: This post is outdated. Please use the latest version of RHEL/CentOS v6.x+ for PHP 5.x. The author no longer support php 5 rpm on RHEL 4.x.
However these rpm packages 64 bit so if you are running 32 bit os rebuild RPM file.
Step # 1: Download src rpm
# cd /tmp
# wget http://www.cyberciti.biz/files/lighttpd/rhel4-php5-fastcgi/php-5.1.4-1.esp1.src.rpm
# rpm -ivh php-5.1.4-1.esp1.src.rpm
Step #2: Rebuild RPM for 32 bit RHEL version
# cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
# rpmbuild -bb php.spec
It will take some time to compile and rebuild RPM files.
Step #3: Install new php5 RPM file
Remove old php4 rpm. Go to /usr/src/redhat/RPMS directory and install PHP5 RPM files.
Please note that PHP 5 is not official supported by Red Hat on RHEL 4.0. You are using these packages on your own risk 😉

Study: Half of teen drivers text behind the wheel
In a large national survey, nearly half of all respondents 16 years or older admitted to having texted while driving behind the wheel.
Additionally, the teens who admitted to the risky behavior are more likely to engage in others, like irregular seat belt use and drinking while driving, according to a study released Monday by the journal Pediatrics.
The coupling of risky behaviors makes this among the most important teen safety issues, the journal wrote, and singles out an important subgroup of teens that officials should focus on, as teens who text and drive are five times more likely to also drink and drive.
The issue of distracted driving has come more to the forefront in recent years as the scientific community studies it more closely.
An analysis by the National Safety Council recently concluded that crash deaths by drivers on the phone were seriously underreported nationwide. They concluded this compounds the problem because it makes it seem less serious, and impedes efforts to win passage of tougher laws.
"Strategies to reduce this and other risky driving behaviors may include state laws and technological solutions, but parental supervision may be the most effective prevention tool," wrote the authors of the Pediatrics study.
Dr. Andrew Adesman, who co-authored a study on the problem for the Centers for Disease Control recently, recently told CBS News it is imperative the problem be addressed at all levels due to the danger.
"Texting while driving is just becoming sort of epidemic, and it's a higher cause of deaths than even drinking while driving," said Adesman. "The impairment that comes with texting is worse than drinking while driving."

Boxers consistently rank among the top 10 breeds in the United States, but how much do you really know about these four-legged athletes? Here's a primer on the boxy breed.
These cute and cuddly pooches were bred to help hunters in Germany during the 19th century. Strong and athletic, the dogs were bred to run up to 20 miles, then use that infamous underbite to catch and hold their prey until hunters arrived. True to the name, boxers actually do stand on their hind legs and bat their front paws.
"Get two boxers together that like each other and eventually they will get up on their hind legs and they will box; that's the way they play into their old age," says championship breeder Judy Boran of Strawberry Boxers in Arizona.
Large, alert eyes and a massive underbite help boxers stand out from the crowd. Boran says that a strong jaw line helped boxers hold onto prey during those early hunting days. Docked ears and cropped tails reduced the risk of injury during a hunt, and show dogs maintain those features. This muscular breed tends to weigh between 60 to 75 pounds, and reach a height of 21 to 25 inches at the shoulders. Boxers also should be a bit boxy. Boran, who has judged show dogs, notes that the dog's measurement from post-sternum to rear should be the same as the length from the ground to its withers.
"It's harder to find a square boxer, but I think that's extremely important," she says. "It's just a quality that says, 'I'm here, look at me.' It's like in horses; the boxer should own the ground over which it stands."
Atlanta Boxer Rescue warns that the breed requires plenty of attention, exercise and supervision. In return, they will reward you with a lifetime of companionship. Boxers also have a reputation for being loyal and protective, particularly around little ones. When screening prospective clients, Boran says she prefers households with children because boxers thrive in that environment.
"Every boy needs a boxer and every boxer needs a boy," she says. "The most important thing about boxers is that they are people dogs. They need their people and give absolute love and devotion. They have a joy in life."
Their short coat and desire to be near people mean that boxers don't do well as outdoor dogs. Boran and Atlanta Boxer Rescue say the breed thrives inside with its people.
Common health issues
That short muzzle also means boxers cannot fly in the cargo hold, along with other brachiocephalic pooches such as bulldogs, pugs and Shih Tzus. Snoring is another byproduct that Atlanta Boxer Rescue points out to prospective adopters.
When purchasing a boxer from a reputable breeder, ask if they test for a cardiomyopathy, and a neurological disease called myelopathy that severely weakens a dog's hindquarters.
Westminster contenders
All eyes were on Winfall Brookwood Styled Dream when boxers took the show for the Westminster dog show earlier this year. As 2011 Best of Breed winner, the beautiful boxer defended and reclaimed her title against other top dogs, including her sister, Winfall I Dream Of Style.

This topic has spilled into Unthreaded.
The one comment that I would be inclined to make on this is that, if people are depending on water from glacier retreat in tropical and temperate settings, then it seems to me that their water supply would be equally diminished by glacier stabilization or advance, not just by glacier disappearance. What proportion of the water delivered to (say) India is from the annual precipitation-melt cycle and what proportion from "mined" meltwater from glacier retreat? Or other places?
During the Laurentide glacier retreat from North America, apparently the Ottawa River was equivalent in size to the Amazon.

General Mills has unveiled the Winter Olympic athletes who will grace the newest Wheaties box. Gold medal winners Lindsey Vonn, Shaun White and Seth Wescott will get the prime spots on the iconic orange box.
The decision marks the first time snowboarders will be featured hawking the breakfast of champions.
Olympic darling Vonn, who came away from Vancouver a gold and bronze medal in alpine skiing, tweeted that she felt "so honored," and posted a picture of herself with the Wheaties box on her Facebook page.
U.S. & World
Snowboard cross gold medal winner and Maine native Wescott beat out more high profile winter Olympians such as Shani Davis and Evan Lysacek. Apollo Ohno was featured on the box four years ago after the Winter Olympics in Turin.
The esteemed position, which in past years has featured Bruce Jenner, Michael Jordan, and Tiger Woods, has depicted successful athletes since the early 1930's.

Tyler Murphy doesn't have to look far to get some advice on making your first start at quarterback on the road in Lexington, Ky.
In fact, it's already come up.
"We talked about that," Leak said. "He didn't know until I told him."
Leak, a graduate assistant at Florida who is working with the quarterbacks, made his first start in the same stadium that Murphy will.
It was 10 years ago Friday and turned out to be one of the memorable games in Florida history.
"Really? 10 years?" Leak said. "That makes me feel old."
The circumstances are as different as they are similar. Yes, the Bluegrass State was the scene of Leak's first start and it will be for Murphy's.
But Leak was an 18-year-old true freshman who had been with the program for four games. Murphy is a 21-year-old junior who has been with the program for four years.
"The maturity level is different," Leak said.
Leak was also considered to be a major coup for coach Ron Zook when he signed with the Gators, while Murphy was something of a project.
Murphy was a two-star quarterback who sat for three years.
"We thought Murphy was a real good athlete and was a great kid when he visited," coach Urban Meyer said via text message. "Great high school video."
And while Murphy is playing because of an injury, Leak played because of a coach's decision.
"We had to do something to jump-start the offense," Zook told The Sun. "We felt like it was time. You knew you were going to have growing pains. But Chris was a unique guy in the way he approached games and with his maturity."
Florida had split its first four games in 2003 when Zook approached Leak in the weight room and told him he would start. Leak had played in Florida's first four games, but Ingle Martin had been the starter.
"I was obviously excited, but at the same time I was ready to go," he said. "I was on a mission to get Florida back to the top and I knew it was a matter of time. I embraced it.
"I already had a lot of game experience leading up to it and I felt comfortable with the offense."
In Lexington that day, Leak's first three plays as the University of Florida starting quarterback went like this:
1. False start penalty.
2. Incomplete pass.
3. Sack.
And for the rest of the first half, it didn't get much better. Florida finally got a field goal late in the half, but Kentucky answered with a touchdown in the third quarter to take a 21-3 lead.
It appeared Florida's long winning streak over the Wildcats was in major jeopardy.
"I knew Kentucky was going to throw everything at me," Leak said. "But I also knew that all we needed was one touchdown to get back into the game."
Florida received a break when Kentucky was penalized 15 yards on a UF punt and the Gators took over on their own 40. On the next play, Leak hit Kelvin Kight with a 40-yard pass. He then threw a short touchdown pass to Carlos Perez.
Florida went for two and didn't get it. Down 21-9, Florida got the ball back only to lose it when Leak threw his second interception of the game. Again, Florida's defense held and a 25-yard punt return by Keiwan Ratliff set up another touchdown pass to Perez.
It was now 21-16. All Kentucky had to do was run out the final four minutes on the clock to beat the Gators.
On second down, Kentucky's 270-pound quarterback Jared Lorenzen dropped back to pass. Florida linebacker Channing Crowder got to Lorenzen, but couldn't bring him down. Instead, Lorenzen spun around and threw the ball blindly down the field and into the waiting arms of Florida defensive back Johnny Lamar, who returned the pick 35 yards to the 1-yard line, Florida punched it in and left with a victory.
"I'd seen that big old guy make plays before with guys hanging on him," Zook said. "I was just glad to get the win."
Leak finished the game 20 of 35 for 268 yards. He would go on to become Florida's all-time passing leader and won a national title.
"I hear 35 pass attempts and I want to call Coach Zook and thank him for having that much trust in me," Leak said. "That means a lot to me, even today."
On Saturday, Murphy will try to do what Leak did 10 years ago — win his first start and do it in Lexington.
"It'll be deja vu for me," Leak said
Leak reminisces on first start as Gators' QB

Ohio Board of Regents Approves New Undergraduate Degree Programs
The Ohio Board of Regents has approved two new undergraduate degree programs and the revision of six others.
The board approved the establishment of a Bachelor of Science in engineering technology degree to be offered at the Kent State Tuscarawas Campus. A Bachelor of Fine Art degree in fashion design, to complement the existing Bachelor of Art degree in fashion design, also was approved by the board.
"The new Bachelor of Science in engineering technology has been designed to serve the needs of the students, as well as the employment needs of Northeast Ohio, and that of the state in general," says Kamal Bichara, Ph.D., director of the engineering technology program. "The new degree program was driven by recommendations made by the Industrial Advisory Board and by the employment outlook of the region."
The engineering technology major comprises three concentrations formerly housed in the Bachelor of Science in technology degree —electrical/electronics, computer design, animation and game design and manufacturing/mechanical systems—and two new concentrations—green and alternative energy and integrated engineering technology.
Speaking of the new B.F.A. degree in fashion design, J.R. Campbell, M.F.A., director of the School of Fashion Design and Merchandising, says, "The creation of the B.F.A. in combination with the major revision of the B.A. program in fashion design allows much greater flexibility and responsiveness in the design curriculum to respond to changes in technology, career specialisms and supply chain innovations in the fashion industry."
Campbell says that students from both the B.A. and B.F.A. programs will be trained to be successfully competitive for any entry-level design position in the industry and will be required to develop portfolios for presentation at interviews.
Name changes for six degree programs in the College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Biological Sciences and the Department of Modern and Classical Language Studies were ratified by the board.
The College of Arts and Sciences' Bachelor of General Studies degree will now be known as the Bachelor of Integrative Studies degree, and includes the establishment of a concentration that allows students to combine three minors to form the major.
The Department of Biological Sciences' conservation major within the Bachelor of Science degree has been changed to environmental and conservation biology, with two new concentrations in conservation biology and environmental policy and management now available.
The French, German, Russian and Spanish majors within the Bachelor of Arts degree in the Department of Modern and Classical Language Studies will now be called French Literature, Culture and Translation; German Literature, Culture and Translation; Russian Literature, Culture and Translation; and Spanish Literature, Culture and Translation, respectively.
"It was important to revise the names of these majors because we made a curricular change that involved the blending of our current degrees programs in translation and literature/culture," says Jennifer Larson, Ph.D., chair of the Department of Modern and Classical Languages. "The names of the resulting bachelor's degrees reflect the combination of coursework that will be required for all our majors in these languages."
For more information about the new undergraduate programs, contact the appropriate academic department or school.

I simply love photography. Someday when I have a decent collection of photographs I would like to publish a coffee table book of photographs taken by me.
What is a coffee table book?
A coffee table book is a hardcover book that is intended to sit on a coffee table or similar surface in an area where guests sit and are entertained, thus inspiring conversation or alleviating boredom. They tend to be oversized and of heavy construction, since there is no pressing need for portability. Subject matter is generally confined to non-fiction, and is usually visually-oriented. Pages consist mainly of photographs and illustrations, accompanied by captions and small blocks of text, as opposed to long prose. Since they are aimed at anyone who might pick the book up for a light read, the analysis inside is often more basic and with less jargon than other books on the subject. Because of this, the term 'coffee table book' can be used pejoratively to indicate a superficial approach to the subject.

Hunter Hayes Is Seriously Swoon-Worthy in 'Tattoo' Videoby Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Ladies, let's pause for a second to just admire the beauty that is Hunter Hayes in his 'Tattoo' music video.
The country cutie, who is responsible for such swoon-worthy and emotional hits as 'Wanted' and 'Invisible,' channels a little bit of the vibe from his track 'I Want Crazy' in 'Tattoo,' singing about a girl he loves so much he'd even consider getting a tattoo of her name. While that is a slightly questionable (and permanent!) decision, Hayes makes it seem incredibly romantic — so much so that we're left wondering what we'd have to do to get him to consider tattooing our names on him.
And needless to say, the 22-year-old musician is looking insanely adorable in the video, turning our faces into heart-eye emojis every time we glimpse at him in his tight white tee or his tight gray tee or his jean jacket or just about anything. Add to that him belting out the romantic lyrics while simultaneously playing the guitar… sigh.

Empire State Realty Trust
Empire State Building
350 Fifth Avenue, Concourse Suite 100
New York, NY 10118
ESB Broadcasting at the 2014 NAB Show
The Empire State Building ("ESB") has been involved in broadcasting since before the building was finished, with an NBC broadcast on Christmas Eve 1930. On ESB's opening night, May 1, 1931, NBC broadcast the RKO Theatre Over-the-Air from the 86th floor. Radio programs included NBC's Mobil Oil Concert Hour and WOR's Manhattan Melodies and The Microphone in the Sky. Television debuted when NBC sent its first experimental television signal from the top of the building on December 22, 1931 and in 1939, they introduced the first regular television broadcasts with the opening day ceremonies at the New York World's Fair. By the 1940s, Howdy Doody was broadcast, as well as other popular programs.
On July 25, 1950, New York City Mayor William O'Dwyer, RCA Chairman David Sarnoff and other dignitaries drove the first rivets into the base of ESB's broadcast tower.
Today, ESB does not look back to history, but rather forward into the 21st Century. ESB remains at the center of the New York Tri-State region's broadcasting operations. Our central location and strengthened technological backbone allows the delivery of broadcasting signals to cable and satellite systems and directly to television and radio receivers reaching over 7.4 million TV households representing over 6.5% of all TV households in the US. And it is not just television and radio … over 130 antennas provide a variety of point-to-point radio and data communications services to utility companies, telecommunications providers and public safety agencies.
We offer combiner and engineering space with security and priority access. ESB hosts endless combination of line-of-sight and centrally located height for a host of antennae location options, from our setbacks to the tip of our broadcast tower. We are state-of-the-art, from a clean, safe, and well run physical plant to a comprehensive power and RF monitoring system, to worker protocols to ensure compliance with law.

Not only does Peavy get to renew a friendship on the Sox with former Padre Scott Linebrink, he gets a guitar partner. Both players keep guitars stashed in their lockers and Peavy played in a band with former Padre Tim Flannery and performed live with country singer Pat Green during a concert at PETCO Park. Are they good guitarists? "I don't think it's going to pay any bills," Linebrink said.
Your pitching shouldn't either Scott.

Bartender's Choice: What to Drink at Wildwood in Portland, OR
Top bartenders tell you which cocktails to order.
"The philosophy of the bar program at Wildwood is the philosophy of the restaurant, and our focus is on local ingredients," says Ryan Csanky, Bar Manager at Wildwood Restaurant in NW Portland. "I get in the kitchen as much as I can, and echo what's happening in the kitchen at the bar."
Wildwood claims to have the most comprehensive list of local spirits in Portland, boasting 53 spirits from 22 different producers. These locally produced spirits are mixed with seasonal house-made syrups, purees, and bitters to make up a monthly rotating menu of roughly 10 cocktails.
Csanky has also been experimenting with a technique of adding acidified carbonated water to a single liqueur such a Chartreuse or Galliano. "All cocktails need to be balanced and when an acidic element is needed, we generally select a citrus or a vinegar," says Csanky. "Those ingredients add flavor, and when you have a liqueur like Chartreuse, which already has 131 ingredients, using acidified water allows us to bring out the underlying flavors of the liqueur without adding new flavors."
Csanky says that he like to keep half of the menu reserved for classic and familiar cocktails and half of the menu for more obscure, experimental drinks. "I like to have cocktails on the menu that start a conversation," says Csanky.
Csanky also takes great pride in their house-made tonic syrup, sodas, and grenadine. After years of planning and recipe development, he recently released a gin with Erik Martin called Aria, which they distill at Bull Run Distillery in NW Portland. "There are lots of people who make their own gin, and lots of people who make their own tonic, but none that I know that make both," says Csanky. The gin is somewhere between a juniper-rich London Dry style and fruitier Plymouth style, and Csanky is using it in a few different cocktails at Wildwood.
We asked Csanky what which cocktails we should order the next time we stop by Wildwood. Check out his picks in the slideshow above.

We won't lie — applying for financial aid will probably never be
fun. But some changes are coming that should make the process a little bit easier.
You'll hear these changes referred to as "Early FAFSA" or "Prior-Prior Year." The big things that are changing, starting with the 2017-2018 school year, are:
Yep, it'll be different … and good, for several reasons.
When you fill out the FAFSA for 2017-2018, we strongly encourage you to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT). The DRT lets you transfer data directly from your tax return into the FAFSA from the IRS website. The IRS DRT is available through the FAFSA website at
Using the IRS DRT will save you time and effort because:
Less time, less stress … it's all good!

Seeking Relative Outperformance
A common reader query here at OfTwoMinds is: what can I do to protect myself financially from the coming unraveling? There is no easy answer, of course, for many reasons.
One, I am not qualified nor prepared to offer investment advice of any kind. Two, if I were foolish enough to advise buying XYZ today, tomorrow it would be hit with news which caused it to crash, and three, the only person who can properly assess an investor's risk appetite, financial situation and investing style is the investor himself/herself. There is no shortcut to this financial self-knowledge.
That said, there are some basic strategies which can be useful. One is "relative performance," described here by frequent contributor Harun I.:
It has been my observation that the majority of people make investment decisions based on many things but no weight is given to the most important factor, that being whether the investment is increasing purchasing power. (emphasis added)
In my humble view investment decisions must start with asset-class performance (stocks, bonds, commodities) against an accepted measure of value such as gold, broad market performance, and sector performance. The current mass thinking in the diversification and buy-and-hold theory has one keeping poor performing assets which makes no sense to me. This thinking doesn't respect differences in time horizon.
If people were willing to shift an hour of their time daily to do proper research then they would find that their investment results would be much different.
So let's take the oil sector and see what we can make of it. We start with a long-term chart of light crude oil with a relative-performance comparative to gold:
Please go to www.oftwominds.com/blog.html to view the charts.
Harun's comment: "Where the red line is rising (1985 and 2000 peaks) oil was outperforming gold. From 2005-mid 2006 oil underperformed gold as noted by the decline of the red line."
Next, let's look at a chart (courtesy of Harun) of an integrated oil/energy company, Exxon Mobil (ticker symbol XOM) plotted with relative-performance comparatives to the S&P 500 and gold:
Harun provided this explanation:
With Gold the denominator, when the red line is rising the numerator, which in this case is XOM, is outperforming Gold. When the red line is declining XOM is underperforming gold. The only significance of the red line being above or below price is the relative value (how much can be purchase with XOM), which is not to be confused with performance.
The same goes for the blue line which measures the performance of XOM relative to the SP 500. When the blue line is rising XOM is outperforming the SP 500, when the blue line is declining XOM is underperforming the SP 500. Once again the amplitude only determine how much of the SP 500 XOM can purchase.
Note that the actual direction of price move is irrelevant. The SP 500 and XOM can both be in decline and the relative strength line will still rise if XOM is falling slower than the SP 500.
What is not shown is the RS line of gold to the SP 500 during this period. But during the bull market from 1982-2000 The SP500 outperformed gold. In other words the SP 500 was increasing in purchasing power (its ability to buy gold and commodities). XOM was outperforming gold too but at a much slower rate than the SP 500. During that period it was better (easier?) to own the index (or a stronger performing stock than XOM).
Harun's summary:
The measure of success of any investment is determined by the simple question, did purchasing power increase, decrease or remain unchanged?
During the 20-year Bull Market, Exxon purchasing power increased because it performed better than gold--but was it the best stock to own?
1988-2000 XOM grew better than gold (red) but underperformed the SP 500 (blue). Remember that the SP 500 outperformed gold during this period so while it didn't kill you to own XOM, implicitly you lost money for 12 years.
2000-2003 XOM underperformed gold and outperformed the SP 500 which was underperforming gold. XOM in this time frame would have been a bad investment.
2003-present is the only time that XOM outperformed both the SP500 and gold, makig it a sensible investment. But it must be noted that XOM cannot purchase as much gold as it did in 2005 even though it is showing a higher nominal price.
So what conclusions can we draw from plotting the relative performance of the broad stock market (S&P 500), gold against a leading oil/energy blue chip company?
Any investment performance must ultimately be measured not just against alternative investments but in terms of purchasing power.
These charts also suggest three other insights.
1. An investment may appear to be "doing OK," i.e. rising in nominal dollars, but meanwhile it is seriously underperforming other asset classes.
2. An asset may outperform for a period of time, and then underperform. "Buy and hold forever" may not be a successful strategy for establishing and maintaining outperformance.
3. Diversification may be a good idea, but diversifying into asset classes which are outperforming other classes and maintaining or growing one's purchasing power is an even better idea.
Thank you, Harun, for sharing your knowledge and insights.
Thank you, Rod C., ($10) for your generous donation to this humble site. I am greatly honored by your support and readership. All contributors are listed below in acknowledgement of my gratitude.

I recently came across an interesting result of Kobayashi [Corollary 5.5], a special case of which is the following: Suppose $\Gamma$ is a discrete torsion free subgroup of $SL_n(\mathbb{R})$ which acts properly discontinuously on the homogeneous space $X=SL_n(\mathbb{R})/SL_{n-1}(\mathbb{R})$. Then the cohomological dimension of $\Gamma$ is less than or equal to $n$.
The homogeneous space $X$ above is diffeomorphic to a fiber bundle with base space $S^{n-1}$ and fibers $\mathbb{R}^n$. This motivates my question:
Suppose $G$ is a discrete torsion free group acting properly discontinuously on $M \times \mathbb{R}^n$ where $M$ is a compact manifold. What can be said about the cohomological dimension of $G$? Is it less than or equal to $n$?
Kobayashi's proof uses spectral sequences, a tool which I am not familiar with. So before spending time learning about these objects, I was wondering if there is an obvious obstruction to the generalization of Kobayashi's result mentioned above.

The Forex world is constantly evolving and during its weekly trading hours there is a wealth of news a trader must keep on top of if they want to make the most money possible. Indeed, because the market can be affected by a number of dynamics, it is essential they know exactly what's happening at all times in order to avoid any unprofitable deals.
For example, let's assume the US Dollar is trading well against the Great British Pound during the first half of the week. This would be a good time to invest some money and reap the benefits of a positive market condition. However, by Wednesday a series of negative news stories emerge from the UK and affect the country's economic performance. These dynamics then adversely affects how well the two currencies are trading. At this point it's important to know what's just happened because it will influence whether or not someone should cease trading this currency pair for a while or continue.
Knowing the value of each currency based on various internal and external factors is crucial and the reason why FXBrokerSearch.com's Forex news centre is a vital resource. Drawing on a number of resources, our information section provides the latest information and data from which users can refine their trading activity.
Beyond shifts in the currency market itself, FXBrokerSearch.com's new section has been designed to give traders an insight into the best offers and promotions. By monitoring each of our 200+ Forex brokers we're able to quickly tell users about the latest updates and bonuses.
By compiling all this current data into one portal we believe investors will be able to make even more money in the Forex market. Indeed, thanks to our dedicated team of analysts and experts, users can find out the latest market developments as well as the best deals in the industry. Putting all this together should help everyone gain a better understanding of the market, which in turn should give them the ability to make even more money.
