Spreading the News for a Community Service
Students identify a service organization in the Bronx and try and communicate its importance to the community.
A service organization wants everybody to know what it does in the community. The student's assignment is to find out as much as possible about: what the organization does; why its work is significant; when it was founded; how its mission or activities may have evolved over time; who benefits from the activities; and where people can contact them. After researching the organization, the student will prepare a brochure, and give a short talk at an upcoming Bronx Chamber of Commerce luncheon at Lauritano's Restaurant (see photos).

Grosjean admits to 'stupid mistake'
- Race:
- Japanese Grand Prix
- Drivers:
- Romain Grosjean
- Teams:
- Lotus F1
Romain Grosjean admitted he made "a stupid mistake" in running in to Mark Webber at the start of the Japanese Grand Prix.
Webber branded Grosjean a "first-lap nutcase" after being tapped in to a spin by the Lotus in turn two at the start. The incident comes two races after Grosjean was banned from the Italian Grand Prix for causing a first-corner crash in Spa, and he admitted that he had tried to be careful since then but had been caught out by the closing speed as Webber slowed for the second corner.
"Ever since I came back in Singapore my priority has been to be very cautious at the start, and I was watching Sergio [Perez] on my left to make sure there was no contact with him," Grosjean said. "There was quite a big speed difference between me and Mark [Webber] as I came into the first corner which caught me by surprise and we collided. It was a stupid mistake."
Grosjean also revealed that Webber confronted him over the incident after the race and said he would look to learn from the error.
"Mark [Webber] came to see me after the race and was obviously not happy, but I apologised and we have to move on. We'll sit down and look at things again before the next race to see what we can do to improve these situations. In the last few laps of the race the tyres were at the end of their life and we were out of the points, so it made sense to retire. Not a good day, but we have to look ahead to Korea and a chance to make amends."

Al Fares Restaurant Group, Esteemed International Johnny Rockets Franchisee, Opens 12th Johnny Rockets Restaurant
Jumeirah Centre Restaurant is in The Coastal City's New Premiere Location in the United Arab Emirates
ALISO VIEJO, Calif. - Jan. 2, 2014 // PRNewswire // - Long-time franchise partners Al Fares Restaurant Group, LLC, operated by Wael and Zaher Samman, have unveiled the newest Johnny Rockets restaurant in their impressive portfolio – the 1,300 square-foot eatery with indoor and outdoor seating in the popular Jumeirah Centre shopping mall in the coastal residential area of Jumeirah in Dubai, UAE. The term Jumeirah, which literally means "beautiful" in Arabic, is primarily an upscale residential area frequented by locals, expatriates working in the emirate and tourists visiting Dubai. Al Fares Restaurant Group debuted their flagship UAE Johnny Rockets restaurant in 1996 in Jumeirah at Jumaa Al Majid complex on bustling Beach Road, which closed in preparation of the opening of the new location at the newly opened mall.
Like the ten that preceded it, the new location in Jumeirah brings the concept of Americana to the UAE with the same flavorful food, friendly service and fun, timeless ambiance that residents and area visitors have enjoyed for the past seventeen years. The all-American menu features made-to-order hamburgers, American fries served with the signature ketchup smiley face, hand-spun shakes and classic sandwiches. Dancing servers, twirled straws and upbeat tunes from the past eight decades round out the unique interactive guest experience.
"The thrill of re-opening Johnny Rockets in beautiful Jumeirah proves our commitment to the development of this area and our passion for the brand," said franchise partners Wael and Zaher Samman. "We take pride in having delighted Johnny Rockets guests in the UAE, since 1996, and we look forward to delivering on our Guest Promise for many years to come."
The new Johnny Rockets is located on the prime Jumeirah Beach Road strip in Jumeirah Centre, the first mall to be built along Beach Road. The two-story shopping and entertainment center services all corners of Dubai, including the surrounding communities of Jumeirah, Al Wasl and Umm Suqeim. The mall boasts almost 50 retail outlets, many of which provide one-of-a-kind retail concepts not found elsewhere in the city.
"The inherent value of Johnny Rockets as a brand is evident by how strongly the UAE has embraced our all-American experience," said John Fuller, CEO of Johnny Rockets. "Wael and Zaher have proven their expertise and the fact that we continue to maintain success in the federation for almost two decades, is a testament to their business acumen and the area's affection for classic Americana."
Longtime Johnny Rockets franchise partners, Wael and Zaher Samman received the company's International Award for Outstanding Development in 2012 and now operate 11 restaurants in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Ras Al Khaimah. In June, they introduced Johnny Rockets to the Corniche waterfront area, which marked their second Abu Dhabi restaurant since opening Yas Marina Circuit in August 2012. Dubai locations include Dubai Marina, Mall of the Emirates, Sheikh Zayed Road, The Village in Dubai Mall (2), Mirdif City Centre, J3 Royal Mall and Jumeirah Centre, as well as Al Hamra Mall In the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, which opened last month. Three more restaurants in the UAE are scheduled to open within the next two months, and their first restaurant in Oman, in the capital city of Muscat, is slated for mid-2014.
The new Johnny Rockets restaurant in Jumeirah seats approximately 55 people in its 1,300 square-feet of indoor and outdoor retail space. Jumeirah Centre is located at Jumeirah Road, Jumeirah 1?Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Johnny Rockets is open seven days a week from noon to 2:00 a.m.

person who may slaughter animals, dress their flesh, sell their meat(Redirected from Butcher)
Butchers are people who may slaughter animals, dress their flesh, sell their meat or any combination of these three tasks. They may prepare standard cuts of meat, poultry, fish and shellfish for sale in retail or wholesale food establishments. A butcher may be employed by supermarkets, grocery stores, butcher shops and fish markets or may be self-employed. An ancient trade, whose duties may date back to the domestication of livestock, butchers formed guilds in England as far back as 1272. Today, many jurisdictions offer trade certifications for butchers. Some areas expect a three-year apprenticeship followed by the option of becoming a master butcher.
- The ignorance, carelessness, and brutality are not only in the rough-handed slaughtermen, but in the polite ladies and gentlemen whose dietetic habits render the slaughtermen necessary.
- Henry S. Salt, The Humanities of Diet, Manchester: The Vegetarian Society, 1914.
- A little while ago I met on the road a butcher … He is not yet an experienced butcher, and his duty is to stab with a knife. I asked him whether he did not feel sorry for the animals that he killed. He gave me the usual answer: 'Why should I feel sorry? It is necessary.' But when I told him that eating flesh is not necessary, but is only a luxury, he agreed; and then he admitted that he was sorry for the animals.
- Leo Tolstoy, The First Step (1892), ch. IX
- She often spoke of marryin' a butcher or a sausage maker, having a liking for those trades, as she said, for they knew you couldn't never get all the stains from their aprons, and didn't demand it.
- Gene Wolfe, "Our Neighbor by David Copperfield", Future Tense (1978), ed. Lee Harding; reprinted in Endangered Species (1989).
Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical QuotationsEdit
- Quotes reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 87.
- Whoe'er has gone thro' London street,
Has seen a butcher gazing at his meat,
And how he keeps
Gloating upon a sheep's
Or bullock's personals, as if his own;
How he admires his halves
And quarters—and his calves,
As if in truth upon his own legs grown.
- Thomas Hood, A Butcher.
- Who finds the heifer dead and bleeding fresh
And sees fast by a butcher with an axe,
But will suspect 'twas he that made the slaughter?
- William Shakespeare, Henry VI, Part II (c. 1590-91), Act III, scene 2, line 188.
- Why, that's spoken like an honest drovier; so they sell bullocks.
- William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing (1598-99), Act II, scene 1, line 201.
- The butcher in his killing clothes.
- Walt Whitman, The Workingmen, Part VI, Stanza 32.

There will be no flower or doggie spotlighted tonight. It wouldn't be fair to post a picture of one of our beloved friends in the same post as the Monster Michael Vick.
Mommy was shocked when she heard that this worthless waste of a man and CONVICTED animal killer was being allowed back into the NFL. Why would the Philadelphia Eagles even think of offering this piece of trash at place on their team. Mommy is furious and as far as she is concerned she will never watch another NFL football game. What kind of signal is this giving the world? That it is OK to kill a dog and say you are sorry and everything be OK. So today football does not exist for Mommy anymore.
We are wiping for feet & paws of the NFL and just like this little doggie, I'd like to bury Michael Vick in a hole and pile a truckload of poop on his sorry head.
Or better yet, Mommy says she would exile him to a field full of cactus and throw him on them to rot.

That's right,
We don't want to minimize or maximize michael vick, we X him out of our doggy lives, furever!
Now we talk about beautiful things, like your smile in the previous post, like your grandpa's banana story, like all the pretty flowers your mom uses to decorare your blog.
Is it coincident or what, you talked about the unlucky opossom recently, here in Dallas we met a possum who lives in our back yard, I'll email you the picture.
Love ya.

I just found your blog and totally agree with the anger towards Michael Vick. I am so glad that people like you are making it a point to say how awful he is. He truly shouldn't be forgiven. I just learned that he not only used his dogs for fighting, but would unnecessarily kill the dogs that refused to fight in the worst way. Is that true that he would drown them or even hang them? How was he the highest paid football player at one time. What a worthless person. It just goes to show where peoples priorities are these days. I am sure there are plenty of good players that could take his place. Anywho, I am just freshly annoyed with that and then your wonderful post got me all fired up about it. I am glad to meet you and would love it if you stopped by my blog sometime to meet my Africa. I hope you find her worthy for your special friends list. She would be so flattered! Thanks for all that you do!

I really hate that Michael Vick is permitted to play football. It is sending a wrong message especially to children that look up to football players.
I don't believe that the NFL should have let him back in but just because the NFL let him back in didn't mean that a team HAD to pick him up.
A stand up team with good core values would not bring that type of person into their organization. I know that Khyra is an Eagles fan and don't mean to offend her with this statement, but what was their head coach thinking letting that type of trash into their organization. They should have more pride in their football history and set a good example for children. Being from Pennsylvania, I expect more from the teams in my state and I am embarrassed by the decision that they have made.
Great post and we hope that your mommy is feeling much better today!
Lots of Luv & Kisses

My Old Girl and I totally agree that he should not be playing, that no team should have accepted him and that he should be punished for what he did.
I also don't know if he's truly sorry because I haven't seen the interview, but most people who have seen it said he did not seem sorry.
But in my little Bichon opinion, if (and it's a big "if") he is truly sorry and asks God to forgive him, God will--just like I think God forgives any of us who do something wrong and ask for forgiveness. And if Vick was truly sorry for everything he did, and if God forgave him for that, I think I could, too.
But, again, those are big ifs. In the meantime, we'll keep pulling for the Cowboys. ;)

Hi, Mona and Mommy! Well stated about M.V. It's confusing. He doesn't even seem fazed by the suffering that happened. It's horrible.

Well said, Mona! While I do believe that people should get second chances, I don't believe they should just have life handed to them on a silver platter. It is very hard for me to imagine he regrets what he did. If he had a heart at all he would not have been able to torture those dogs the way he did.

So, while The Netherlands just adopted net neutrality, the US is now nearing a comprehensive agreement on a piracy crackdown system. It will include throttling internet speeds, limiting access to e.g. only the top 200 websites, and forced participation in an educational program on copyright. The system has been drafted by the White House, big content, and ISPs. I guess this is the final nail in the coffin for net neutrality in the land of the 'free'.

social security law: an overview
Social security is designed, as the title suggests, to provide security. To protect individuals from unforeseen catastrophes, the government spreads certain risks among all members of society so that no single family bears the full burden of such occurrences.
In the United States, the Social Security Program was created in 1935 (42 U.S.C. 301 et seq.) to provide old age, survivors, and disability insurance benefits to workers and their families. Unlike welfare, social security benefits are paid to an individual or his or her family at least in part on the basis of that person's employment record and prior contributions to the system. The program is administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA) and since 1965 it has included health insurance benefits under the Medicare program. While the original act used Social Security in a broad sense and included federally funded welfare programs and unemployment compensation within its scope, current usage associates the phrase with old age, survivors, and disability insurance.
The Federal Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) pays out monthly benefits to retired people, to families whose wage earner has died, and to workers unemployed due to sickness or accident. Workers qualify for its protection by having been employed for a minimum amount of time and by having made contributions to the program. Once an individual has qualified for protection, certain other familymembers are, as well. Financial need is not a requirement.
While the Social Security Act (federal law) governs an applicant's right to benefits, state substantive law governs some of the family relationship issues that may bear on that right such as the validity of a marriage.

Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life and President of the National Pro-life Religious Council, expressed gratitude today to Bishop Raymond Burke for the pastoral letter he wrote On the Dignity of Human Life and Civic Responsibility, and for the "Notification" he issued to Catholic legislators who support abortion and euthanasia, instructing them not to receive Communion.
"Communion means union with Jesus, and with his teachings. To permit the killing of children contradicts everything Jesus taught. Bishop Burke is simply calling for consistency," Fr. Pavone explained.
Responding to the comment of Democratic State Senator Julie Lassa that she would not allow religion to decide how she serves her constituents, Fr. Pavone said, "Read the medical texts on how abortions are done. They use the words dismemberment and decapitation. Abortion is violence. It's not just religion that tells us to oppose it; it's human decency."
Priests for Life is conducting an intense effort this year to challenge candidates and voters to see abortion as the primary electoral issue. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

Richard Justice talks predictions
• I will not write these boys off early. I did it in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2008. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. The Astros start slow and finish fast. That's what they do. Please remind me of this on June 1 when they're eight games below .500.
• Cecil Cooper will do a terrific job. By the end of this season, he'll have the support of fans, reporters, players and his front office. He'll get an extension for 2010 and a nice fat raise. He was a rookie manager when he took over for Phil Garner in 2007 and had some learning to do. He has learned. He's remarkably relaxed and confident this spring. That confidence will play well in the clubhouse. He unveiled his team motto on Tuesday: Our Team. Our Time. Pretty good, huh?
• Russ Ortiz will be the No. 2 starter by mid-season. He's healthy for the first time in years and throwing the ball free and easy. He's a proven winner. His signing is going to be one of the smarter ones Ed Wade has made.
• Mike Hampton will win more games than Randy Wolf.
• Felipe Paulino will throw a 100-mph pitch this season. In the major leagues.
• J.R. Towles is going to be entrenched as the starting catcher by Sept. 1. He may have to start the season in the minor leagues. That's not important. There's no reason he can't succeed. He's a first-rate catcher and on his way to getting his offensive issues figured out.
• The Astros will have one of the National League's three best bullpens. They've got depth, balance, a mixture of youth and experience. And they've got a great closer. They'd better enjoy that great closer. Jose Valverde seems certain to test the free-agent market after the season.
• Hunter Pence is going to keep getting better. He's big, strong and fast. He's also driven to succeed. He will.
• Bud Norris, Brad James, Chris Johnson, Tommy Manzella and Brian Bogusevic will be pushing for spots on the big-league team by the second half of the season.
• Kaz Matsui will spend time on the disabled list, but it won't matter. Drew Sutton will fill in nicely.
• Roy Oswalt will win his first Cy Young Award. Lance Berkman will be the National League MVP.
• Darin Erstad, David Newhan and Jason Michael will again be invaluable off the bench.
• Lou Palmisano will be Ed Wade's latest shrewd move from the Rule V draft, joining Wesley Wright and Shane Victorino on an impressive list.
• Tim Byrdak will be recognized as one of the most amazing stories in all of big league hardball.
• Lance Berkman and I will make a joint appearance on Pardon the Interruption. It will be studied for years for its wit, intelligence, insight and content.

Damn. If that don't make you feel warm and fuzzy about 2009, I don't know what will. I never read RJ...Is he always this much of a homer, or should I cut him some slack?

* He was right about not writing them off early, but we'll see how they do when they come off the All-Star break with a BRUTAL schedule for a month.
* Cecil Cooper is not doing a great job and winning no fans. Totally wrong on that one.
* Ortiz isn't and won't be the #2 starter, but so far, it has been a very nice pickup.
* He's right so far about Mike Hampton. But, considering 4 of Hampton's 5 wins have been against the Pirates and Wolf is playing for the best team in the NL, I'd be shocked if that held up.
* He does a great job of making it seem like the organization wants Towles to succeed when they're giving him no chances and Quintero too many. He won't be a starter as long as Coop has his say.
* Right now, the Astros don't even have one of their division's best three bullpens. They are 9th in the NL in ERA, behind Milwaukee, St. Louis, Cincinatti AND Pittsburgh. They are 0.01 better than Chicago. They are 10th in the NL in batting average against. Only three teams have allowed more hits, five have allowed more earned runs, and nobody has allowed more homers.
* Hunter Pence has slumped of late, but he's still one of the best hitters on the team even with Coop being a jerk and batting him 6th. Dead on there.
* Matsui did land on the DL. And Maysonet is actually the one that filled in nicely. But, again, Coop is a jerk and doesn't like young players so he sent him down.
* Oswalt and Berkman are finishing the first half nicely, but neither will win those awards and probably never will. Sad they're so overlooked, but it's something they just need to deal with.
* LOL about Erstad, Newhan and Michaels. What a joke.
* Tim Byrdak is a mediocre, overused reliever that will go nowhere because of Ed Wade's infatuation with him.

Nelson Earns Second Team Recognition; Johnson, Balta Honorable Mention Selections
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – There weren't too many more consistent players in the Ivy League this year than Yale's Jennifer Ong. Ong, who led the Bulldogs in batting (.351) and hits (54), had at least one hit in all but eight games this spring and never went more than two games in a row without a hit. On Thursday, she was rewarded for her outstanding season by earning first-team All-Ivy recognition at second base.
Ong, a junior, was one of four Yale players honored. Christy Nelson, who batted .375 in 20 Ivy games, was named to the second team at third base, while shortstop Meg Johnson and centerfielder Tori Balta earned honorable mention recognition.
Ong, who started all 46 games, finished second in the league in hits, fifth in average and sixth in on base percentage (.409). She ended the season with a 14-game hitting streak. In three years, she has 28 doubles, which is the fifth most in school history.
Nelson, a junior, was outstanding during the league season. She started all 20 games, had five doubles, two triples, three home runs and 12 RBI. Overall in 46 games, she batted .314 and led the team in home runs (4), doubles (12) and RBI (22). Her 12 doubles tied for third in the league, and she was sixth in slugging percentage (.514) and total bases (72). She'll begin her senior season with 14 career home runs, three shy of the all-time school record.
Johnson, who batted .390 in 20 Ivy games, has the misfortune of playing one of the deepest positions in the league. Co-Players of the Year – Jane Alexander of Harvard and Brown's Stephanie Thompson – are both shortstops. Nevertheless, Johnson enjoyed an outstanding senior season. She started all 46 games, led the team with 13 stolen bases and was second in batting average (.343) and hits (49). In her outstanding career, Johnson finished with 168 hits, the sixth most in school history, and 68 RBI, the ninth most all-time at Yale.
Balta, a sophomore, started 43 games in centerfield and tied for 10th in the league with 24 runs scored. In addition, her seven RBI in league games were the third most on the team. Overall, she started 43 games, had seven doubles, one home run and 14 RBI.

Rich Client Platform
|How to Contribute
While the Eclipse platform is designed to serve as an open tools platform, it is architected so that its components could be used to build just about any client application. The minimal set of plug-ins needed to build a rich client application is collectively known as the Rich Client Platform.
Applications other than IDEs can be built using a subset of the platform. These rich applications are still based on a dynamic plug-in model, and the UI is built using the same toolkits and extension points. The layout and function of the workbench is under fine-grained control of the plug-in developer in this case.
When we say that the Rich Client Platform is the minimal set of plug-ins needed to build a platform application with a UI, we mean that your application need only require two plug-ins, org.eclipse.ui and org.eclipse.core.runtime, and their prerequisites.
However, rich client applications are free to use any API deemed necessary for their feature set, and can require any plug-ins above the bare minimum. Examples include the Help UI, and the Update Manager.
For more details on what is included in the Rich Client Platform, see the RCP FAQ.
Case Studies
The Eclipse community has put together a set of highlighting the use of RCP technology in a variety of real-world settings. More are being added all the time so visit page from time to time to see what's new.

|semi-portable (Rank2Types, MPTCs)
|Safe Haskell
A continuation-passing variant of
Maybe for short-circuiting
at failure. This is based largely on code from the Haskell Wiki
(http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Performance/Monads) which
was released under a simple permissive license
However, various changes and extensions have been made, which
are subject to the BSD license of this package.
- data MaybeK a
- runMaybeK :: MaybeK a -> Maybe a
- toMaybeK :: Maybe a -> MaybeK a
- maybeK :: b -> (a -> b) -> MaybeK a -> b
- data MaybeKT m a
- runMaybeKT :: Monad m => MaybeKT m a -> m (Maybe a)
- toMaybeKT :: Monad m => Maybe a -> MaybeKT m a
- liftMaybeK :: Monad m => MaybeK a -> MaybeKT m a
- lowerMaybeK :: Monad m => MaybeKT m a -> m (MaybeK a)
The partiality monad
A continuation-passing encoding of
Maybe; also known as
Codensity Maybe, if you're familiar with that terminology.
N.B., this is not the 2-continuation implementation based on the
Church encoding of
Maybe. The latter tends to have worse
performance than non-continuation based implementations.
This is generally more efficient than using
Maybe for two
reasons. First is that it right associates all binds, ensuring
that bad associativity doesn't artificially introduce midpoints
in short-circuiting to the nearest handler. Second is that it
removes the need for intermediate case expressions.
N.B., the
Alternative and
MonadPlus instances are left-biased
a. Thus, they are not commutative.
The partiality monad transformer
A monad transformer version of
|MonadTrans MaybeKT
|Monad m => MonadError () (MaybeKT m)
|Monad (MaybeKT m)
|Functor (MaybeKT m)
|Monad m => MonadPlus (MaybeKT m)
|Applicative (MaybeKT m)
|Monad m => Alternative (MaybeKT m)

Execute a
MaybeKT and return the concrete
Maybe encoding.

Councilor in troubled city withdraws, re-elected
SUNLAND PARK, N.M. (AP) — A councilor in a troubled New Mexico border city who withdrew from his race was re-elected this week anyway.
Sunland Park city councilor Christian Lira beat out three other opponents with 32 percent of the vote on Tuesday, and said he plans on remaining in office "because of all the support."
And now Lira plans on challenging longtime Rep. Mary Helen Garcia, D-Las Cruces, in the Democratic primary.
Lira, 31, publicly withdrew from his council race last month but not in time to get his name taken off the ballot. Lira said he didn't campaign because he was thinking about running for state representative.
But he said the results encouraged him even more to challenge Garcia. "I just don't think we are getting the representation we need down here," Lira said.
Garcia, a retired school principal who is seeking her 10th term, said Lira will need to answer questions since he served on the council while Sunland Park faced financial ruin. She also said he will need to address his previous domestic violence arrest.
Lira was arrested in May 2010 on charges of false imprisonment and battery against a household member after prosecutors said he attacked his ex-wife in a jealous rage during a late-night car ride. He was later found not guilty.
Lira said any reference to his domestic violence arrest was "dirty politics."
In 2012, Sunland Park drew national headlines after a mayoral candidate was charged with extortion by secretly recording an opponent receiving a lap dance from a topless woman in his campaign office.
The year before, Mayor Martin Resendiz said he was drunk when he signed nine contracts with a California company for $1 million.

No matter how many guidebooks you read, every trip always contains a surprise or two. A transportation strike forces you to rethink your itinerary, or renovations at a must-see museum thwart your plans. On a recent trip to Vietnam, my friend Leigh and I encountered this element of unpredictability, and learned to welcome it.
A week into our trip, we'd toured Hanoi, rock climbed in Halong Bay, and relaxed on Cat Ba Island. I was ready to leave behind the crowds of tourists and head into rural Vietnam; Ninh Binh, famous for its rice paddies and limestone karsts, was our next stop. In a spirit of adventure, we'd eschewed the air-conditioned tourist coaches popular with Western backpackers and were headed for the local bus station.
Pandemonium awaited us there. We quickly learned it was a national holiday, and most of Hanoi was leaving the city to celebrate with family. Would-be travellers circled ticket officials, brandishing their money. Others took a passive approach and sat wherever they could, plastic shopping bags of gifts heaped at their ankles. They fanned themselves with newspapers and waited for something to happen. Vendors in conical hats skirted around these islands of people, proffering baguettes, Oreos, or pineapples.
Two Canadians with little Vietnamese didn't stand a chance amongst thousands of determined locals. After two hours, we were still in the crowded bus yard, wilting in the heat and humidity. We watched bus after bus depart, each packed with people.
And then our luck turned. I saw a tiny purple bus pulling in to the yard. It was labelled "Ninh Binh" on a handwritten sign in its front window. Best of all, it was empty. Almost before it had stopped, I leapt aboard, hoping Leigh was following.
The 100-km trip took nearly five hours on the overcrowded highway. It was a sweaty ride nestled in between Leigh and a young Vietnamese couple. Though Leigh and I spoke little Vietnamese, and they, little English, we found we had French in common. As the bus crawled along, Mai and Ha told us both about their pride in their country, and about the problems Vietnam is facing. We heard of stunning natural beauty, and hard-working people, as well as abject poverty, and a serious need for infrastructure. I was struck by Mai and Ha's insightfulness and their matter-of-fact assessment of their own country. Their words returned to me often during the rest of the trip. By the end of the bus ride we were invited to celebrate the holiday with their family, a group ranging in age from three to 90. It was a feast of crispy fish, beef stir-fry, vegetable stew, soup, rice, and several unfamiliar tropical fruits. We all laughed as Leigh and I tried to correctly pronounce Vietnamese words. Finally, we said goodbye, e-mail addresses on scraps of paper in our pockets. We returned to our hotel, and to the world of travel guides and itineraries.
We had quite a few unforgettable experiences in Vietnam. We rode motorbikes around Hoi An, relaxed on stunning beaches in Nha Trang, and shopped our way through Ho Chi Minh City. We experienced tranquil river life in the Mekong Delta, and ate some of the best food I've ever tasted. And yet, my favourite memory of the country is of a humid, crowded afternoon spent on a local bus. We'd moved out of the guidebook and into the real Vietnam.

October Is Energy Awareness Month
October 1, 2012
October is Energy Awareness Month, and since 1991 teachers all over the country have incorporated energy efficiency and conservation activities into their curricula, as well as information about energy sources. The following resources are available to assist with lesson planning:
- The National Energy Education Development Project offers a list of resources for teachers who wish to incorporate Energy Awareness Month into lesson plans. This includes science kits and curricula for many renewable and conventional energy technologies for multiple age levels, including an extensive list of curricula that can be downloaded free of charge and used in classrooms with locally available supplies. In collaboration with the American Wind Energy Association and the Department of Energy's Wind for Schools project, wind energy curricula are available.
- The KidWind Project has extensive online curricula as well as curricula kits that can be purchased. The WindWise curriculum was specifically designed for secondary school students to look more closely at some of the impacts associated with wind technology and its development.
- The Renewable Energy Alaska Project and the Alaska Center for Energy and Power are bringing the new AK EnergySmart K-12 energy efficiency curriculum to school districts across the state. If you are looking for ideas on how to engage students in energy issues, contact Courtney Munson to schedule an AK EnergySmart classroom visit or teacher informational session.
- Teachers in other areas of the country may want to visit the Illinois Wind for Schools program website, which features a spreadsheet that compiles available wind-related curriculum for students in primary school, junior high school, and high school. The Energy for Educators website supported by the Idaho National Laboratory and the Wind Powering America website also offer lists of wind energy curricula and teaching materials.

A Smart Investor Would Skip the M.B.A.
Why spend six figures on a business degree? Students would do better to train and network on their own
Imagine that you have been accepted to Harvard Business School. The ivy-covered buildings and high-powered faculty whisper that all you need to do is listen to your teachers, get good grades and work well with your peers. After two years, you'll emerge ready to take the business world by storm. Once you have that degree, you'll have it made.
But don't kid yourself. What matters exponentially more than that M.B.A. is the set of skills and accomplishments that got you into business school in the first place. What if those same...

BAE Systems boss is set to make £18 million almost overnight if a merger goes ahead with EADS, it has been reported.
Chief executive Ian King has accumulated lucrative share options which would usually take years to mature, but, if the £30billion merger goes through, he would be paid a giant windfall straight away, according to the Daily Mail.
A BAE spokesperson declined to comment.
The newspaper report claims that after 36 years in the company, King has built up extensive holdings of shares and options through a web of executive reward schemes.
He has more than one million BAE shares in his portfolio, worth more than £3.36million at the current price.
In a merger, he would either receive at least that amount in cash or the equivalent value in new shares in the combined group.
King has also amassed options on around 4.5million shares in executive reward schemes set to bear fruit over a number of years.
But a deal with EADS could trigger a "change of control" clause set out in the company's annual report meaning that the shares all pay out at once, according to the report.
This would hand him an instant jackpot of £14.5million, taking his grand total to £17.8million.
It is not clear at this stage whether any or all of these sums will be paid out.
The deal will require the approval of the British, French and German governments if it is to go ahead, while the United States is understood to be taking a close interest in the deal because of BAE's involvement in sensitive US defence projects.
UK unions fear that the move will trigger thousands of job cuts, while the British government is expected to block the deal if it saw the French and German governments take stake above 9 per cent in the new combined entity.
Details of King's potential payday are now likely to be probed by the House of Commons Defence Select Committee, which is holding an inquiry into the proposed merger.
BAE is an expert in defence, security and the military, whereas the majority of EADS' work is commercial.
EADS, a consortium of aerospace and defence manufacturers from France, Germany and Spain, is headquartered in Paris and Berlin. It employs nearly 15,000 people in the UK including at its Airbus wing sites in Filton, near Bristol, and in Broughton, North Wales.

I have walked by this little barber shop in Milan about a hundred times but I have never had a moment to go in and get a trim.
Finally, the last time I was there, I had a few minutes to pop in and see these guys in action.
Actually I have been growing my hair out a little and I wanted it to grow out a little more before getting it cut but I could not pass up this opportunity.
I don't know if these guys are the best barbers in Milan – they could be very average- but there was something about the quiet, neighborhood-barber-shop quality that I thought was so endearing.
So can you tell what they are doing with the towels here?
No velcro-tabbed big plastic sheets for these guys.
They place one very clean, very well-pressed white sheet across my lap, then one sheet front-to-back over my shoulders, then another sheet back-to-front over my shoulders.
In the little gaps around my neck where the towels don't meet my neck they stuff long strips of cotton that they keep in a glass jar.
That's three sheets for one customer. As a New Yorker I kept thinking to myself "their laundry bill must be HUGE"
Again, I don't know if these guys are the best but I love unreasonably charming old-school techniques like this.
No Aveda
No Paul Mitchell
Plenty of atomizers
I looks like they did their sign with a Sharpie marker – I really think they did.
If you get a chance I would love to hear about any other funny little techniques that your barbers uses.
ps I have to admit the cut did grow out very well

Jackson, Phil
Jackson, Phil (Philip Douglas Jackson), 1945–, American basketball player and coach, b. Deer Lodge, Mont. Jackson was an All-American at the Univ. of North Dakota. Drafted by the New York Knicks in 1967, he was a forward and a superb defensive player, playing on two championship teams (1970, 1973) and remaining with the team until 1980. He then entered coaching, proved to be extremely talented, and rose to become (1989) head coach of the Chicago Bulls. Known for his quiet style, natty courtside attire, philosophical bent, Zen beliefs, and devotion to the triangle offense, he was extremely successful at motivating and stimulating teamwork among disparate players. Jackson coached the Bulls during the team's glory days, directing such superstars as Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen and leading his team to six National Basketball Association (NBA) championships (1991–93, 1996–98). In 1999 he took over as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. There, working with Shaquille O'Neal , Kobe Bryant , and others, he won three consecutive (2000–2002) NBA championships. He stepped down as Lakers coach in 2004 but the following year he agreed to return he retired in 2011. The Lakers were NBA champions again in 2009 and 2010, giving Jackson the record for most NBA titles (11) for a coach. In 2014 he became president of the Knicks. Jackson's books include the autobiography Maverick (1975), Sacred Hoops (1995, with H. Delehanty), More than a Game (2001), and Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success (2013, with H. Delehanty).
See D. Whitaker, ed., The Gospel According to Phil (1997) and R. Lazenby, Phil Jackson's Long Strange Journey (2001).

Divide & Conquer: Creative Room Dividers
When my second child was born, both kids were sharing the same room. When we moved to a bigger home, they both had their own space, but quickly asked to be back together. Now that they've shared a room for about 4 years, they are asking for their own space again but WITHIN the same room. Are kids always like that? I guess we're all learning as we go along, right?!
In an effort to help them re-decorate their own room (mind you, they are 6 and 4 years old, I think I'm still going to give some gentle nudging here and there), we spent some time looking for creative ways to divide their space.
There are a lot of ways to DIY a divider beyond simply setting up an Ikea Expedit. And of course there are plenty of purchasable options. This list is for inspiration, the favorites so far (by democratic vote) for their little project are adaptations of the ladders, the bottles or the bookcases. See for yourselves:
1. Sheet music decoupage to a flat surface (Instructables).
2. Upcycled Hangers (LIKEarchitects via Inhabitat).
3. Pallets with hinges (RecyleArt).
4. Bookcases (Jonti Craft).
5. Chalkboard divider (Junk Market Style).
6. Colorful Hanging Divider (Make It Lovely).
7. Plastic Panels (Nola Star).
8. Upcycled Plastic Bottles (Klein Dytham via Fabulously Green)

1. Re: Support the notion of shrinkwrap BundleArchiveDavid Bosschaert Nov 15, 2010 2:52 PM (in response to Thomas Diesler)
I'm currently playing with a number of options around this. Once I have made a little more progress I'll post a few options that we could consider...
2. Re: Support the notion of shrinkwrap BundleArchiveThomas Diesler Nov 16, 2010 4:22 AM (in response to David Bosschaert)
ARQ now supports the notion of multiple target containers over multiple protocols with multiple deployments. It also extended the event model to send events back and forth from the container to the test client over the given protocol. So you can do thinks like ...
* deploy testable archiveA to containerA
* deploy plain archive to containerB
* make testA call back to test client and fetch archiveC
It seems that the logical approach would be to port the ARQ OSGi functionality to the latest ARQ first. If the event callback functionality should not work as expected then it should be fixed at the ARQ level.
Aslak, seemed to have looked and learned from the OSGi integration considerably. Much of what I did for OSGi is now generally available in ARQ and part of the overall test strategy.

Thomas Diesler wrote:
This in particular caused issues for us in the past. I think we have a few options here:
- follow the pattern we had in the past with a JMX callback
- use some sort of other remote protocol to obtain the test archive
- actually not make a remote callback from the test class and produce test archiveC in testA somehow.
I'm personally not a big fan of options 1 and 2 since they make the test hard to follow (IMHO) and require a remote communication back and forth between the test (running in an OSGi framework) and the test client (not running in OSGi). In addition to that were the actual technical problems in the recent past that were holding us back in 1.
I'd be much more in favour of option 3 since it makes the test easier to follow and understand, so I started experimenting with this.
For this, you first need Shrinkwrap to be usable from inside OSGi. This is possibly generally useful outside of this context too, and I think I've got most of this done now (SHRINKWRAP-242) (btw this doesn't include the API change as suggested in SHRINKWRAP-139).
Then you do have the disadvantage that you can't make calls any more such as
as the "Foo.class" object is not available to the classloader. Instead you'd have to do something like
{code}URL url = ... // get url to org/acme/foo/Foo.class resource
While this may seem like an inconvenience I think it's ok and possibly outweighs the complexity introduced by options 1 and 2. You can wrap those calls in a method in your test to get back to a simple addToArchive(archive, "org.acme.foo.Foo") or something like that.

Ok - what I currently have works on the jbosgi branch of ARQ with one of our performance tests - I'll look into starting from ARQ master next.
4. Re: Support the notion of shrinkwrap BundleArchiveThomas Diesler Nov 22, 2010 3:38 AM (in response to David Bosschaert)
At the end of the day you will probably find that it is nonsense to assemble the shrinkwrap archives in the target container. Especially if you have a variety of target containers at various locations and a variety of test deployments not all of which will be osgi bundles. Especially in AS7 were class/resource visibility is very strictly controlled you would have to use a thing that has very little to do with the fundaments of shrinkwarp.
Any deployment that makes it into AS7 comes via the ServerDeploymentManager API. Yes, AS7 hot-deployment is also a client of that API. This API already works by sending serialized objects back and forth on a communication channel - the port is 9999. The exception to this rule is remote access to the Aries JMX API, which only works for OSGi bundles. Going forward, it makes sense to use the AS7 API for any deployment including OSGi bundles. So JMX would not be used as the deployment channel.
Given that the ARQ test client already uses a remote communication channel I believe that it is only natural to use that channel to fetch additional deployments from the client side. You would not even have to touch shrinkwrap to make this work
I'll look into starting from ARQ master next.
Please check with Aslak how this client-server event thing is supposed to work with AS7. Is this supposed to go over the test communication channel, the deployment communication channel or something else independent of protocol and deployment? It is not in master yet AFAICS.
5. Re: Support the notion of shrinkwrap BundleArchiveThomas Diesler Nov 22, 2010 4:43 AM (in response to Thomas Diesler)
Maybe you like to spread the word about your intended ARQ/Shrinkwrap approach on the AS7/SW dev forums. I'd like to hear what folks from all teams say when they hear that they will have to use one API in @Deployment and another in a different portion of the test case when there are deployments generated at test runtime.
It is also possible that this problem is unique to the OSGi benchmark tests and that it is generally sufficient to have multiple test deployments, which are not parameterized and can all get generated before the test is executed i.e. just like the @Deployment archive

WASHINGTON — The soaring white obelisk is a defining feature of the capital's architectural landscape, so visitors to the Washington Monument this summer may be disappointed that the view of the iconic memorial has been obscured by its renovation. Or not.
Covered by a web of scaffolding and semi-transparent blue scrim to allow repair of the damage caused by a rare East Coast earthquake two years ago, the monument has undergone a modern makeover that has inspired buzz about the 129-year-old edifice — and even some calls to make the look permanent.
The sleek, mechanical scaffolding, which was designed by New York architect Michael Graves and completed in June after four months of construction, exaggerates the pattern of the monument's stone exterior, standing out from the neo-classical memorials and museums that predominate on the National Mall.
"It's a cartoonish addition. It's irreverent," said Kriston Capps, a senior editor at Architect magazine. "We don't see that a lot in the capital city."
PHOTOS: Looking back at the March on Washington
Originally commissioned for a 1999-2000 renovation, the stylish scaffolding was meant to dress up the construction but keep the look of the monument, National Park Service spokeswoman Carol Johnson said. It was reused because it received a favorable response the first time and would keep costs down.
The repairs are expected to cost $15 million, half of which is being paid for by a donation from Washington businessman David Rubenstein, a founder of the Carlyle Group, a private equity firm.
The monument has been closed since August 2011, when a 5.8-magnitude temblor centered in Virginia cracked and dislodged some of the enormous marble blocks that make up the 555-foot structure.
Amid disappointment from visitors — who normally enjoy expansive views from the monument's observation deck on the highest structure in the city — the park service has heard overwhelmingly positive feedback about the scaffolding, Johnson said.
"I must admit, they've done a really good job," said Umesh Gandhi, a tourist from Toronto who had not heard about the repairs before he visited Washington. "If you didn't know, you would think it was part of the monument."
The scaffolding is an impressive engineering feat — 6,000 pieces scaling the obelisk's towering height without attaching to it anywhere. It is stabilized in places by wooden boards wedged against the monument.
At night, it is a marvelous sight, when 488 lamps on the scaffolding illuminate the monument in an ethereal glow visible from much of the city.
"It looks like it should be in Paris," said Joe Plautz, visiting from Wisconsin, who liked that the lights showed off the facade in a different way. "It's not just your typical white stone monument, like everything else."
PHOTOS: 2013's memorable political moments
Thomas Hellriegel, on vacation from Germany, wondered at first whether it was scaffolding or art.
The lights are a small gesture to visitors who can't get the full experience while the Washington Monument is under repair, Johnson said. "It's kind of a promise that we're going to get this done."
The park service estimates that will be next spring. Stonemasons are using leftover marble from the last renovation to replace pieces that fell off during the earthquake and filling in cracks with epoxy. Once the repairs are complete, the scaffolding will come down and the memorial will reopen.
But some are so enamored of the redesign that they've asked the park service to keep it, Johnson said. Those include Capps, who argued the case in an opinion piece in the Washington Post last month.
In an interview, Capps called the Washington Monument "overwrought" and the most unenlightening memorial on the National Mall. The plain, impersonal edifice "doesn't tell us anything about Washington" the man, he said.
The broken monument, Capps said, is a powerful symbol of what he sees as an "unprecedented" level of political dysfunction in the federal government.
"The new look is jarring," he said. "It's a reminder of what we've lost sight of."
Capps admits that the response to his op-ed was mixed; many readers called him an idiot. But though he "might be on a ledge," he's completely serious.
"The Mall needs to update and reflect its time," Capps said. "Everything should be up for revision."
Not everyone is so enthusiastic about the idea. Jocelyn Dennis of Detroit, touring the site with her children, recalled her "profound" experience of seeing the Washington Monument for the first time on a school trip in eighth grade.
The monument is a statement of the country standing strong, she said. "Some things are not meant to be upgraded like that."
Traditionalists need not worry. The National Park Service is not planning to take Capps' advice any time soon.
"You must understand the mission of the park service," Johnson said. The Washington Monument is "a very important cultural icon, and our job is to conserve that."

Prenda's Brett Gibbs Objects To Pretty Much Everything, Including Use Of Hansmeier Deposition
from the but-of-course dept
Not surprisingly, the objections include the use of the Paul Hansmeier deposition which got so much attention yesterday. The specific objections here: irrelevant, lacks foundation and/or personal knowledge, hearsay, speculation, argumentative, assumes facts not in evidence, improper characterization of evidence, improper authentication of document. The idea that the document is irrelevant is simply laughable.
It's somewhat surprising that Gibbs and his lawyers felt this was a productive use of their time. As was covered pretty clearly in Ken "Popehat" White's big analysis of the case, it's quite clear that Judge Otis Wright is not buying Brett Gibbs' story, at all. In fact, he's taking an incredible level of interest in the details of the case, in a manner that suggests he does not trust Gibbs at all. Given that, you would think that filing a list of objections like this not only will not have the hoped for effect, but might actually do the exact opposite. It serves to highlight just how worried Gibbs is that this evidence will be used by Judge Wright in exploring the depths of Prenda's actions. Yes, some lawyers think that you should object to everything imaginable just in case it works. But, in this case, with the Judge making it pretty damn clear that he doesn't believe Gibbs and wants to get to the bottom of what's going on with Prenda, taking such an aggressive stance to all of this evidence seems like it could be a pretty big miscalculation. It does fit with Gibbs' and Prenda's standard operating procedures, but considering how badly that's failed in this case so far, you'd think that someone would have the sense to suggest he let up on the throttle a bit.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Blow Your Cover
As you head to Elizabeta's place in Bohan this time around, a party will be raging. The apartment is chock full of people, and this time around, Elizabeta has two more people to introduce you to. The first you'll meet is a biker named Johnny, who is looking to unload some heroin. Though Elizabeta doesn't deal in heroin herself, she's gladly helped Johnny find a buyer. Niko is asked to go along to watch over the deal, and joining him is a friend of Elizabeta, a guy that goes by the name of Playboy X. And just like that, you'll find yourself on your way.
Playboy X instructs you to head over to a location in the Schottler sector, which is in the borough of Dukes. Therefore, heading over the East Borough Bridge via Charge Island is going to be necessary (be sure to pay the toll so you don't draw any unwanted attention). Once over in Dukes, it's a brief drive to your location on Cassidy Street. After your arrival, simply drive into the arrow in front of the designated apartment building, and Playboy X will head inside. Naturally, you should follow.
