Lawmakers Want FTC to Probe Google Safari Tracking
Today's controversy surrounding Google's tracking of Safari-based cookies has prompted the attention of Congress, with several House members calling on the Federal Trade Commission to investigate.
Reps. Edward Markey and Joe Barton, co-chairmen of the Bi-partisan Congressional Privacy Caucus, and Cliff Sterns, chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight & Investigations, penned a letter to the FTC asking if today's revelation constitutes a violation of its recent settlement with the company.
That settlement arose from complaints regarding Google's Buzz social network, and banned Google from "future privacy misrepresentations." It also requires Google to implement privacy safeguards and submit to regular audits.
"Google's practices could have a wide sweeping impact because Safari is a major Web browser used by millions of Americans," the congressmen wrote. "As members of the Congressional Bi-Partisan Privacy Caucus, we are interested in any actions the FTC has taken or plans to take to investigate whether Google has violated the terms of its consent agreement."
Earlier this week, a Stanford University graduate student, Jonathan Mayer, released a report that accused Google and three other ad networks of side-stepping the privacy settings on Apple's Safari browser to track usage on iPhones and Macs without permission.
Google said the report, which was picked up by the Wall Street Journal, "mischaracterizes" the search giant's efforts. But the company admitted that a glitch accidentally allowed Google cookies "to be set" on Safari and promised a fix.
"Cookies" are little bits of data collected about your Internet activity. They can be useful - like remembering passwords and settings on sites that you surf to frequently - but there are also concerns about targeted advertising and how much data is really collected. As Mayer noted, popular Web browsers provide the option to block third-party cookies, but Apple's Safari browser is unique in that it blocks third-party cookies by default on the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Macs.
Despite that ban, Google said that Apple enabled some features that rely on third parties and third-party cookies, like Google's +1 button. As a result, Google took advantage of that access and "created a temporary communication link between Safari browsers and Google's servers." In doing so, however, Safari unexpectedly allowed "other Google advertising cookies to be set on the browser," prompting Mayer's report and the Journal story. Google insisted it was not intentional and said it has "started removing these advertising cookies from Safari browsers."
Markey and his Congressional Privacy Caucus colleagues have called for the FTC to investigate a number of similar issues lately, including Google's privacy update and Facebook's tracking cookies.

How did you get the fuck to Oakland? Jason McAfee: Well, when I was at Flyrite the phone rings. This was the most magical moment of my life. Chops answers. And he's talking to someone. And he holds the phone like this, like totally tight and quiet and he says, "Dude, it's Freddy Corbin for you." I had met Freddy and we had talked a little about things because we just bonded and liked each other. Freddy called me out there and I think maybe Alison had sprinkled some things in his ears about… "Jason wants to get out of L.A." I didn't know where I was going. I just was in L.A. and I went to New York, "Do I go back to L.A. I don't know?" So Freddy called, Chops gives me the phone and I get on with Freddy. And he says, "Hey dude, it's Freddy. And I just said, "Hey!" Like Jesus was calling me. I was flipping out. So he says, "Hey dude, I'm going to go do this Japanese convention… (The Japan convention, the first one.) Do you want to come here and cover because Alison said you're kind of just floating around? So I thought maybe you'd want to come here and work for a couple weeks." And I thought, holy shit! And this was when Freddy was going to open 13. So he said "Why don't you just come out here, or when you're back in L.A. from New York give me a call and we'll talk more about all of it." So I remember leaving New York, going back home, and sitting on my couch one night calling Freddy Corbin, which for me was just insane. Because to go back to this really quick -the tattoo type things, just seeing his shit, I was like, "What the fuck is happening?" It's kind of girly but I was obsessed with him -I though he was killer. Cool artsy tattoos, gold teeth, he had it all! So I'm talking to him on the phone and he's telling me I can come up for the two weeks but he might be opening this new shop and maybe it would work out if I wanted to start working there, and this and that. I was just like, fuck yeah. Anything. Yeah! So we talked for a while and I remember coming up here. It was like September 1999. So I came up in 1999 and I came to work here and Freddy was here for like a day. We hung out and he was painting that poster of the La Vida Loca girl and then he took off to Japan and it was me and Nate Sponsler (mainly me) for two weeks in Oakland. I had never been to Oakland; I didn't know anyone up here but kind of… Freddy, Alison and Jef Whitehead -they were the three people I knew. Jef didn't want to do anything, Alison was very sweet and cool, and let me stay with her when I first moved here and helped me out. I hung out with her a lot while Freddy was gone. So I just did that two weeks here and from there it turned into 12 years. So you obviously feel like you found your home here. Yes. So now that you're home here do you think your tattooing has found its root here? Yes. Now I know what your style is, but what sort of influences here have crafted that for you? Your influences and your inspiration? If you sit down and draw a tattoo and no one is telling you what to draw, how do you get there? What makes you like those things? Being around you guys. I think a lot of it came from just being here after only tattooing two years. When I first came to work here I hadn't been tattooing long at all. And Freddy just took the chance on hiring me because he liked me, which is amazing. Just being here and definitely when [Chris] Conn came -still to this day I don't think anyone thinks they can do what he does, that's his thing. Everyone's trying but they can't. And definitely when you came… It was like you being here, Conn, me, Freddy, Nate -it definitely gave me inspiration for things that I would see and like. And just also being in San Francisco -going to those shops and becoming friends with Jeff Rassier or all the other people around and seeing this amazing world of tattooing going on up here, and still so young and fresh to it, but actually getting to know you guys and being around it and watching you draw or Freddy draw or whoever -just seeing it was definitely my whole main influence on things, there's no doubt about it. But that's where it came from. Do you find it hard to keep up the pace? Or is it pretty easy for you? I know you're a family man now. Yes, I'm a family man. I think it definitely was. There were times when it was tough being here somewhat. I would look at the calendar and see Scott Sylvia, Chris Conn, Freddy Corbin, in my book, and I'd think what the fuck? This shouldn't be happening. It was crazy. And I think there definitely was a feeling like draw, draw, keep up! I had to become something as well, and make it happen. It was definitely tough. Because to be honest, a lot of the time I didn't feel like I was even ready to keep up with that kind of level that you guys were all at. You guys had all been tattooing 15 years. Back then you were where I am now. You guys had already been doing it for a while and I'd be like, "Fuck, Scott's fucking shading, and his colors and his lines…and Conn and Freddy and… Oh my god how the fuck can I do this?" So yeah, it was kind of trying at times. I was just trying to do a nice tattoo on people and make it happen.

Merritt jammed for hours by truck-vs.-bridge crash
Traffic on the Merritt Parkway through Westport and Fairfield was tied up for hours Tuesday after a tractor-trailer truck -- in violation of the highway's truck ban -- got on the road at Exit 42 and rammed the North Avenue overpass heading north.
The disabled tractor-trailer, hauling about 30,000 pounds of flour to Rhode Island, caused one northbound lane of the parkway between Exits 42 and 44 to be closed nearly six hours as operations to remove the damaged truck and its cargo took place.
The mishap took place shortly before noon Tuesday.
Westport firefighters assisted the salvage contractor in removing the flour by cutting a hole in the side of the trailer. The flour was inspected by a state Department of Consumer Protection inspector to determine which flour sacks had to be discarded.
State Police shut down part of the highway so a contractor called in to remove the damaged truck could bring equipment to the scene by traveling the wrong way from Fairfield.
Firefighters and police were on the scene for about six hours as the accident scene was cleaned up and the truck hauled off the roadway.

May 23, 2009-Visit to Chiang Mai
Judy at the top of Thailand
In May we flew to Chiang Mai for a long weekend with the idea of doing a little road touring and taking some photos. Late Thursday arrival; Friday morning pick up the rental car; and then head out for three days to see Chiang Mai and the surrounding area, mostly mountains and rivers.
This post contains the links to the wingssail images pages where all the photos can be found.
Chiang Mai
wingssail images-fredrick roswold
First a few scenes from the city of Chiang Mai itself. We found Chiang Mai to be charming.
Breakfast at the Duang Champa
wingssail image-fredrick roswold
See the boutique hotel where we stayed.
Wat Pan Tao
wingssail image-fredrick roswold
Around the corner from the Duang Champa is this old wooden temple called Wat Pan Tao.

Dragons at Chedi Luang Chiang Mai

Next to Wat Pan Tao is Chedi Luang Chiang Mai which is the site of a very old Chedi (pointed tower) now in ruins but still an impressive site.
Click here for more photos of Chedi Luang Chiang Mai
And we visited Bor Sang Umbrella Factory for a particularly important momento of Asia (see previous post)
Terraced Farm Land
wingssail image-fredrick roswold
On Saturday we headed out of town to see some of Chiang Mai's famed mountains and hills. Along the way we found rivers and valleys, and several small Thai towns.

Judy visits a temple at the top of Thailand
wingssail image-fredrick roswold
Near the top of Doi Inthanol, the tallest mountain in Thailand we stopped at the Napamaytanidol monuments to the King and Queen of Thailand. The air was cool and the location was spectacular.
Click here for a photo essay of Judy at Napamaytanidol.
More shots of Napamaytanidol.
Click here for some other shots we took on our way down the mountain.
wingssail image-fredrick roswold
There were many signs along the road directing us to waterfalls and we decided to stop at this one. It was the last chance to see one before the light was lost to the shadow of the mountain. We were glad we stopped.
More waterfall shots.
After all the driving we needed some activity so that night in Chiang Mai we went looking for music. There are a few rock clubs along the river and after sticking our noses into three of them we ran into this great punk band at the Riverside. Here is a short video clip we made to the music of Franz Ferdinand. When the band played this song the whole house started jumping.
Doi Sutep, temple of gold
wingssail image-fredrick roswold
After a late start on Sunday we made our way up to Chiang Mai's local mountain temple, the famous Doi Sutep. This temple nestled in the forest on the mountianside high above Chiang Mai has a stunning chedi of gold. In the late afternoon sun it glowed against the blue sky.
We had to climb a long set of stairs to get to it but it was worth it.
Click here for more shots of the Temple of gold

Young Thai Dancer
wingssail image-fredrick roswold
Where there are tourists you often find performers with a collection box on the ground who will dance or sing or play music for donations. At Doi Sutep there were a number of young kids playing music and dancing under the watchfull eye of their parents nearby. We put some extra baht in the box and took photos.
Click here for more photos of this girl.
Also, we took a river trip on the Ping River which flows through Chiang Mai.
Click here for some photos of the Ping River Boat Trip.
We pushed the weekend in Chiang Mai as long as possible only flying back to Bangkok at midnight on Sunday night, but we had a good, mostly relaxing, time and we are so glad that we finally got to see Chiang Mai. Next weekend we go back to Phuket for more boat projects.
We'll keep you updated.
Fred & Judy, Bangkok

I received the following email in response to my post entitled "Brain Freeze." I liked it so much that I asked the writer for his permission to post it here. -- Charles
I had to laugh out loud and tried not to spit out my coffee while reading your blog article on brain freeze. Not laughing at you but at myself. It seems that I have a brain freeze on a daily basis when training at my dojo or even here at home. I can relate so much and agree with you that it seems we can only take in only so much information.
Last night while training one on one with my teacher in Tai Chi Chuan I could not for the life of me get the right hand movement. My teacher even grabbed my hand and like scolding a 10 year old said "No, no, no....like this" and proceeded to move my hand through the movement himself. We both laughed over that scene. Luckily, it finally dawned on me what to do.
Thank you for the article and letting me know I'm not the only one that gets the dreaded Brain Freeze.

The Terri-Will Relationship, most commonly known as Werri, is the formerly romantic relationship and marriage between Terri Del Monico and Will Schuester.
They were high school sweethearts who got married. Their marriage is strained throughout the first half of Season One and eventually ends in a divorce when Will discovers Terri had been lying to him about being pregnant. She faked the pregnancy for a month or two, taking Will about to fake appointments. Also telling him about all of her "symptoms" that went along with the supposed pregnancy. They separate in Mattress and Will files for divorce in The Power of Madonna, which is finalized in Funk, when they sign the divorce papers at Will's apartment. Their relationship has not been explored further.
Season OneWill and Terri met in high school (where he was the Glee "golden boy" and she was head cheerleader) and later married. Five years into the marriage, they begin to grow apart due to their differences. Terri is not supportive of Will's passion, and is obsessed with money, while Will develops feelings for his co-worker Emma, the school guidance counselor. Terri soon discovers she is pregnant, only to find out that she is actually having a hysterical pregnancy. Seeing how happy the news of the pregnancy makes Will, Terri panics. Instead of telling Will the truth, she begins to fake the pregnancy in order to keep them together.
In Mattress, Will finally discovers she has been lying to him and was planning to adopt his pregnant student, Quinn's baby behind his back and pass it off as her own. Will is angry and hurt and leaves her.
In Sectionals, Terri tries to reconcile but Will tells her that he can no longer feel as he once did for her and later shares his first kiss with Emma.
Will files for divorce in The Power of Madonna.
In Funk, they finalize the divorce, though Terri kisses him saying he will always be the sixteen-year old boy she knew back then, before leaving.
Season Two
In Britney/Brittany, Terri interrupts Will's car ride with Emma and starts an argument with him in front of her, claiming that he doesn't have enough money to spend on expensive things and that the car will be repossessed. This argument turns into Terri stating that she believes Will still has feelings for her and will return to her one day, and she doesn't want him to have blown all their savings by then. Will leaves, flustered and upset.
In The Substitute, Terri drops by Will's house when she finds out he is sick. She makes it her mission to take care of him, and though he declines at first, he realizes that he's lonely and lets her be his temporary caretaker. The two end up sleeping together. While Will's substitute Holly Holiday is over at Will's house, Terri drops by, mistaking them for a couple and ends up insulting her. She then insists that the only woman Will will ever love is her and Will kicks her out of his house, telling her to never come back and what they did was a mistake.
In Blame It on the Alcohol, it is revealed that Terri drove Will to drink in high school.
In A Night of Neglect, Terri becomes a member of Sue's League of Doom, probably to get Will back.
In Funeral, Terri makes sure the Glee Club get their tickets to Nationals. Will gives her a hug and tells her he loved her. Later he walks away with Emma, leaving Terri upset.
Will brings Terri lunch at work and calls her beautiful. They kiss and she calls him handsome. She later announces that she's pregnant, which makes Will pleased and excited. Will is ready to become an accountant to better support Terri and their unborn child. Will decides to spend sixty dollars per month on New Directions behind Terri's back, and Emma has a crush on Will. Terri asks what is wrong with him when he brings her an unhealthy lunch and complains when he says he has to work later now. She is not supportive of his plans to take the Glee Club on a field trip, and he is upset that she spends too much at Pottery Barn. (Pilot)
Terri allows Will to believe that the non-existent baby is a boy, which pleases him. Will and Emma nearly kiss during his night shift at the school. Terri is upset to the point of tears when Will tells her that they cannot afford the grand foyer. (Showmance)
Terri gets a job at McKinley because she wants to spend more time with Will, who's been fooling around with Emma. This ends up being another problem in their relationship. (Vitamin D)
Will accompanies Terri to the doctor's office, where he is led to believe that the baby is a girl. Will tears up with happiness. (Throwdown)
Will discovers one of Terri's fake baby bumps and confronts her about it. She reveals that she is not actually pregnant, but faked it because she didn't want Will to leave her. As Will leaves the apartment, Terri begs him to stay, screaming to no avail that she loves him. (Mattress)
Terri attempts to reconcile but Will says he no longer feels love for her. He tells Emma that he has left his wife, implying that he wants to be with her. He later kisses her. (Sectionals)
Will and Emma make an attempt to have sex. He later files for a divorce from Terri and tells Emma to wait for him. (The Power of Madonna)
The divorce is finalized in this episode. Later, Terri remembers Will and replaces Finn asking her a question with him. (Funk)
Terri comes and disturbs Emma and Will's car ride. Terri forces Will to sell the car. Then tempts him to keep the car to remind it of her and the regret that could she is feeling, to which he rejects. (Britney/Brittany)
Will gets sick and his neighbor calls Terri. She helps him get better and the two sleep together. Terri admits that her and Will's marriage was "toxic." Later, she sees Will and Holly and gets jealous. She throws a fit and calls herself Will's wife. Will ends up asking her to leave and to never come back. (The Substitute)
At the League of Doom meeting Sue states that everyone there hates Will Schuester, but Terri says she does not, although she does hate the Glee Club. Terri joins a club led by Sue made to destroy the Glee Club. Since Terri knows that the Glee Club makes Will happy, this questions if she cares about his feelings. (A Night of Neglect)
Terri tells Will that she's moving to Miami for a job opportunity. She buys Will and New Directions first-class plane tickets to NYC, and he is grateful. The two of them hug and Will congratulates her. Terri then walks away, giving one final glance at Will. (Funeral)
The kids of New Directions help Will with his proposal to Emma. Terri does not appear but her relationship with Will is brought up a couple of times. Quinn says in the choir room when Will announces his proposal plan that she hopes he won't screw it up this time. When Rachel, Tina, Mercedes, and Santana attempt to think of song ideas for the proposal, they say they'll do a better job than the boys and if Will picks the boy's song selection, it'll screw up his current relationship just like his previous one with Terri. (Yes/No)
In Artie's dream, Will and Terri are still married and Will has turned to alcoholism. Terri is still demanding and shrewd, and she kept up with the fake pregnancy story by using a baby doll to fool Will, who is too drunk to notice anything. Terri shows up at McKinley to demand Will's paycheck before he wastes it on "booze and flannel shirts." When Will is not paying attention, Terri proceeds to hit on Artie and mentions that Emma and Ken Tanaka are married and living peacefully in Hawaii, suggesting that had Artie not been in the wheelchair, all of this would've happened. (Glee, Actually)
This episode returns to the time of the Pilot. When Will says to Terri that he is the new director of the Glee club, she is not very happy about it. Scenes later, Terri says to Will that she does not think that the glee club is a good idea, but Will convinces her it is and they later kiss and say that they love each other. (2009)
At the end of the episode, the Glee cast sing I Lived, and Terri and Will hug each other, which makes Emma a little bit jealous. (Dreams Come True)
- Terri was Will's first girlfriend.
- It is implied that they were each other's first back in high school, as Will states in Hairography, that they "did it in the back seat" of his car on prom night.
- They were married for about five years, although they had been dating since high school.
- Their prom song was Hello Again by Neil Diamond.
- They've known each other since they were 15 years old, maybe even longer.
- Terri took care of Will while he was sick, not Emma.

Airshow China 2014: Pakistan in talks to buy '30-40 J31/JF-31/FC-31s'
Farhan Bokhari, Islamabad - IHS Jane's Defence Industry
12 November 2014
The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) is in talks with China to buy 30 to 40 of the Shenyang J-31 / FC-31 twin-engined stealth fighter displayed at Airshow China 2014 in Zhuhai, a senior Pakistani government official has revealed to IHS Jane's .
"The discussions are beyond initial inquiries and they fit into the pattern of Pakistan being the first export customer of Chinese [military] hardware," said the official.
The FC-31 was unveiled as an export model at Zhuhai, although a prototype with the J-31 designation has been flying at a Shenyang Aircraft Corporation facility since 2012.
In 2007 then air chief marshal Tanvir Mahmood Ahmed, who at the time was PAF chief of staff, told IHS Jane's that Islamabad was considering the purchase of up to two squadrons or 30 to 40 of Chengdu J-10 fighters.
PJ-31 will be Pakistani J31 variant.

A deal was signed in 2009 for 36 J-10 expected to be delivery start from 2014-15. Is J-10 deliveries started ? if yes, How many delivered till date ?
If compare J-10s programme it would take another 8-9 years to see J31 in PAF colors.

That deal has been indefinitely postponed for now ... and focus has been shifted to the completion of JF-17 induction and maturity to Block-III standard. PAF is envisaging Block-III to be around 80% as capable as the Block-52+ F-16s. Due to the current economic woes engulfing the country at the moment, it was decided to pospone the induction of FC-20 and even cancel it if Block-III JF-17 attains its capability goals.

Furthermore, only time will tell how long it will take J-31 to mature.
China's fighter project develeopment paradigm is very astute and practical. It is focused on incorporating components that have already been developed successfully. In this context the other stealth projects that have been already in quite advanced stages of development (like the J-20 and J-21) will contribute to the speeding up of the J-31 development cycle. Just like JF-17 Block-I took half the time to attain FOC than the J-10.

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) has expressed interest in procuring fourth generation stealth fighter aircraft FC-31 from China.
Minister for Defence Production Rana Tanveer Hussain told Dawn on Friday the matter was being discussed with Chinese authorities.
It is for the first time that a senior government functionary has confirmed talks with China over purchase of the longer-range stealth aircraft — an issue that has been a subject of speculation in defence circles since the 10th edition of the Zhuhai Air Show (China) held earlier this month, when the aircraft was unveiled.
The Jane's Defence Weekly had quoted an unnamed Pakistani official as saying that the PAF was holding talks with China for the purchase of 30 to 40 of the Shenyang FC-31 fighter planes and that discussions had gone beyond initial inquiries.
The FC-31 is being developed by China primarily for the export market. Chinese officials claim that several countries have expressed interest in the aircraft believed to be comparable to US F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
A prototype of the aircraft, designated as J-31, has been flown by the Chinese aircraft research and development firm Shenyang Aviation Company for a couple of years now.
What particularly interests the PAF is that FC-31 prototype (J-31) and JF-17 use the same Russian Klimov RD-93 engines.
Pakistan is increasingly relying on China as a reliable source for its defence procurements.
Mr Hussain said that Pakistan was also interested in Chinese attack helicopter Z-10.
China and Pakistan had earlier co-produced JF-17 Thunder. Pakistan has been eagerly trying to market this fighter aircraft.
"We have nearly confirmed orders from seven countries for JF-17," Mr Hussain said.
Pakistan, which is at present producing Block-2 of JF-17 at the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex, Kamra, is eyeing orders from countries in the Middle East and Africa.
"The PAF has a requirement of 250 aircraft, but now we have decided that we'll sell some of the JF-17 Block-2 to international buyers besides fulfilling our local demand," the minister said.
The minister sounded upbeat about the upcoming four-day defence exhibition IDEAS 2014 beginning in Karachi on Dec 1.
Some 175 companies, including 34 local firms, are participating in the international event this year.
Mr Hussain said a few MoUs and agreements on joint ventures were expected to be signed during the exhibition, but no orders were expected at the event.
"The basic spirit behind the exhibition is to increase interaction with defence industry (officials) of other countries and provide exposure to our own industry," he said.

1. PAF acquiring J31
2. PAF to export JF17 to 7 countries
3. PAF to acquire 250 JF17
Now we just need the J-10 deal back on the table. PAF needs volume as well as quality, 40-50 J-10 would help provide that. They'd also help us dump the Mirages.
So currently PAF 2020-25 might look like
250 Jf17
~90 F16 Blk 52
Not a bad fleet at all.

Give 400 Frontline fighters which is more than PAF currently operates. I think PAF is holdong off on future JF-15 Procurement (still hasnt ordered more than 150) until more exports and they have a clear picture of the setup of blk 3 (ie more aggressive electronics, lighter airframe and better engine ect)

Photos of China's newest stealth twin-engine J-31 fighter, unveiled on Nov. 10 during a preshow tour of Airshow China in Zhuhai, have recently leaked into the media again. The fighter may be sold to potential buyers in the Middle East, as well as Pakistan, Argentina and Nigeria, reports our Chinese-language sister paper Want Daily.
The J-31 was exhibited in Zhuhai by the Aviation Industry of Corporation of China.
The J-31 has a limited fuel capacity and combat radius, features that could be defects for combat on the mainland, but for smaller countries such as Pakistan, the fighter's agility and smaller size is exactly what they would prefer, according to a report by Sina's military news portal.
Pakistan has bought weapons from China before and is eyeing the J-31, said Pakistan Air Force major general Khalid, who visited the Zhuhai Airshow for the third time and praised the J-31 as the world's best fighter, according to the report.
Pakistan's neighboring countries have already been preparing for the research and development of fourth-generation fighters, making it quite natural for the country to look for some of its own. Moreover, the price of China's J-20 fighters is twice that of the J-31. The light fighter seems a pragmatic choice, said military expert Xu Yongling. Pakistan always places military procurement from China as its top priority as the two have close ties, Xu said.
There are signs that Argentina and Nigeria will procure China's J-17 fighters, and they likely will also buy the cheaper J-31 fighters as a good combination if they can reach an agreement, said the Japan-based Diplomat.
Experts said one J-31 fighter costs around US$75 million, making it very competitive. It has already completed flight tests, relieving buyers of the extra costs for further research and development.
US media has simultaneously harped on the rising threat of China's new fighters while lambasting the fighter's quality, a contradictory mentality for a nation with some of the world's best fighter technology, said Jin Canrong, vice president of the School of International Relations at Renmin University of China.

The world's central bankers will end up behind the market equivalent of the woodshed after flooding the world with cheap money, veteran investor Marc Faber told CNBC on Thursday.
"When you print money, the money doesn't flow evenly into an economy. It flows to some people or to sectors first, and in this case, it flowed into equities, and until about five months ago, bonds," Faber said. "I believe that markets will punish central banks at some stage through an accident."
The bond market could collapse, Faber said, adding that bonds have been weak considering the scope of the U.S. Federal Reserve's quantitative easing program. The other possibility is that stocks could end up in a bubble.
Faber, known for his "contrarian" investment approach and often bearish views on the market, told CNBC he's gearing up for a market crash that will provide plenty of opportunity for bargain hunting.
"For the first time in four years, since the lows in March 2009, I love this market because the higher it goes the more likely we will have a nice crash, a big time crash," he said.
Faber had told CNBC in November that he expected U.S. stocks to tumble due to disappointing corporate profits and expectations the global economy would barely grow or possibly even contract in 2013.
At the time, he said he expected the S&P 500 to fall at least 20% from its September high of 1,470. The index settled Wednesday at 1,501.96.

Exploring Windows 7 on the Mac: installation via Boot CampMac users who have a need to run Windows applications or games may have good reason to keep an eye on the development of Windows 7, due for release later this year. Among its features are easier setup and installation.
This series looks at the features Windows 7 offers to Mac users, and what is involved in moving from XP. This segment looks specifically at how Windows 7 differs from Mac OS X in setup and installation, and how Microsoft has made improvements over the experience offered by XP and Vista.
Mac users have a number of reasons to install Windows; some might want to run Windows in a virtual environment such VMwares Fusion, Parallels Desktop, or Suns free VirtualBox to run a custom corporate app (or some other software that only works on Windows), right on the Mac OS X desktop.
Others might want to install Windows natively on their Mac using Boot Camp for full the performance required to run many Windows-only games. And many Mac users are also owners of generic PCs, and want to setup their Windows PC to share files and sync data with their Mac.
Portions of this article will apply to all these users, with a focus on Mac users who install Windows (and Windows 7 in particular) directly on their Mac using Boot Camp. A previous article looked at what is involved in installing Windows 7 within a virtual environment.
Using Boot Camp
While Apples Boot Camp Utility (below) is sometimes portrayed as a translation layer that allows Windows to run on Mac hardware, it is really just a two-step preparation tool that first formats the boot drive so that Windows can be installed, and then provides the installed copy of Windows with Apple-supplied driver software to properly access all of the unique hardware on Macs.
Neither of these steps are necessary when running within a virtual environment, as those tools both run Windows from a virtual disk image that sits in the regular Mac OS X file system, and supply drivers for the virtual hardware they emulate, presenting a generic PC environment of standard network, graphics, and other virtual components to whatever version of Windows is installed.
Reformatting the disk with Boot Camp
If your hard drive is full or nearly full, you might have some initial pains preparing for Boot Camp. Youll need at a minimum 15 GB of free disk space to install Windows 7, and by free we mean really free; if you throw away just enough files to give yourself 15 GB, chances are your drive will still have files scattered around to the point that Boot Camp wont actually be able to clear out a partition space for Windows.
Thats because Boot Camp doesnt just allocate for Windows some of your drives disk space; it actually reformats the entire disk in place, lopping off a contiguous area of the disk to set up a blank disk partition, and shrinking down your boot volume to account for the difference.
This is a potentially dangerous operation, so make sure you have a full backup of your drive, either using a disk cloner utility or Time Machine to backup to an external USB drive or network server such as Time Capsule.
While weve never experienced any problems with repartitioning the disk in place, it makes no sense to perform this high wire act without a net, because any interruption or disk error could result in an invalid partition map and an unreadable volume that very likely cant be recovered.
Once you identify the amount of space you want to allocate for Windows, Boot Camp moves around your files on disk like Tetris pieces to create a free contiguous area it can partition for Windows. If it runs into too many files that cant be moved, it will ask you to solve the problem by imaging your drive to another disk and then moving it all back.
That operation, which can be done using Disk Utility, takes some time. Youll need to first select your drive and create an image of it (below) on another drive (such as an attached USB drive), then put your system in Firewire target mode and restore the image to the disk using another system. Another option would be to boot your system up from your Mac OS X install DVD and run Disk Utility from the disc to restore the image to your boot drive.
It may also be possible to defrag your drive using a disk optimization tool such as iDefrag, which can sometimes move around files that Boot Camp wont.
Ideally, Boot Camp will be able to find enough room to make those steps unnecessary. Even so, it will take some time (as much as a couple hours) for Boot Camp to complete the repartitioning step. Also, keep in mind that Boot Camp only knows how to start with a drive with one partition, so if youve already partitioned your boot disk, Boot Camp will insist you reformat it back to one single partition first.
Once complete, your drive will show up with two usable partitions, the first being your regular Mac boot drive, and the other with a horrible name along the lines of disk0s3. That stands for disk 0, slice 3, where slice means partition. There are two other invisible partitions, slice 0, the partition table, and slice 1, a 200 MB partition allocated to EFI. (Remember when the whole drive was less than 200 MB?) Slice 2 is your original Mac partition.
Making Windows feel at home on the Mac
Windows doesnt really know how to handle GPT, the type of partition table used by EFI, the boot firmware system used on all Intel Macs (and their equivalent to the OpenFirmware used by PowerPC Macs). However, Intel developed EFI with Windows in mind, so it made the standard backward compatible with MBR, the simpler partitioning scheme used by generic PCs that still depend upon BIOS rather than EFI.
Windows, including the new Windows 7, expects to find a BIOS boot environment and an MBR (master boot record) to identify the disk partition to be used during installation. Boot Camp prepares a dummy MBR in the GPT that identifies the new partitions it created, and the Macs EFI firmware pretends to be BIOS for Windows during the reboot process.
That allows Mac users to simply insert a Windows install DVD and directly boot from it; the software thinks its installing on an old fashioned, generic PC when really its running on a state-of-the-art EFI PC made by Apple.
Among other things, the fancy EFI firmware that Macs use support the same kinds of Mac-only features OpenFirmware has long provided, including:
Firewire target mode, which makes the disks partitions visible to another system via Firewire
Option boot for selecting a startup disk and partition at reboot
C boot for starting up from an optical drive
BIOS PCs have to manually configure the boot volume, and cant boot the system into target mode. They also typically only offer experimental-quality USB booting, something Microsoft doesnt officially support in Windows. That greatly complicates the task of trying to install Windows on an external USB drive, making it something that Apples Boot Camp subsequently doesnt support either.
Brave souls can download an EFI utility and edit their copy of the Windows installer to attempt to install Windows on an external USB disk, but this isnt a task for the faint of heart. Install Windows to a Macintosh USB drive (without Bootcamp). « Tube Shards
While Windows cant take advantage of all the benefits of the Macs modern firmware, EFI does make it easy to select between Mac OS X and Windows at boot, and also enables the system to select the desired boot device from within either operating system (using Apples supplied control panel under Windows), something Windows cant do when running on a dual-booting, generic PC.
Direct installation of Windows using Boot Camp
The install process of Windows keeps getting more sophisticated. The new Windows 7 beta is now on par with the first releases of Mac OS X. Starting with Windows 2000, Microsoft moved its desktop operating system from a DOS-based startup and installer to one using the NT kernel. However, Windows still dropped down into text mode during the installation, just as NeXTSTEP, the predecessor to Mac OS X, once did. The Windows install experience is now entirely graphical from the initial screen (below top) thorough the install progress steps (below bottom), which are presented as if in an active, Aero-styled window (albeit non-functional, as the window is only ornamental).
Apples Mac OS X installer boots a pared down version of Mac OS X from the DVD to run its install process. That enables the install DVD to also run some handy and familiar Mac OS X apps prior to the install process, including the full version of Disk Utility for examining, verifying, and formatting volumes. The Windows 7 installer runs as a custom system with some integrated options for performing just a few disk operations.
One is required when installing Windows 7 on the partition prepared by Boot Camp, because Windows 7 demands an NTFS disk partition to begin installing. In the install image below, Windows reports seeing all of the disk partitions, although it thinks the GPT partition 0 is unallocated.
The partition we want to install Windows on is partition 3, labeled BOOTCAMP, but the installer says thats not possible. To get around this problem, click on Drive options (advanced), which reveals the option to Format partition 3 (below). Click Ok to dismiss the warning that the partition might have something on it (it doesnt). The format is done rapidly, as the FAT volume only needs a quick NTFS volume format written on it.
Once that step is past, Windows 7 installs itself for about a half hour, then presents some installation options related to setting up an initial user account, automatic system update preferences, and the new HomeGroup sharing features. Windows 7 then sets up networking, allowing you to select a WiFi network and log in. If you allow it, Windows 7 immediately downloads and installs a couple of updates, although they arent actually identified until they are being installed.

Vanuatu, country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, consisting of a chain of 13 principal and many smaller islands located about 500 miles (800 km) west of Fiji and 1,100 miles (1,770 km) east of Australia. The islands extend north-south for some 400 miles (650 km) in an irregular Y shape. The Torres Islands are the northernmost group. Southward from the Torres group, the main islands are Vanua Lava and Santa Maria (Gaua) in the Banks Islands group, Espiritu Santo, Aoba (Ambae), Maéwo, Pentecost, Malakula, Ambrym, Épi, Éfaté, Erromango, Tanna, and Anatom. Some 200 miles (320 km) to the southeast of Anatom, two uninhabited islands, Hunter and Matthew, are claimed by both Vanuatu and France (as part of New Caledonia).
Formerly the jointly administered Anglo-French condominium of the New Hebrides, Vanuatu achieved independence in 1980. The name Vanuatu means "Our Land Forever" in many of the locally used Melanesian languages. The capital, largest city, and commercial centre is Port-Vila (Vila), on Éfaté.
A diverse relief—ranging from rugged mountains and high plateaus to rolling hills and low plateaus, with coastal terraces and offshore coral reefs—characterizes the islands. Sedimentary and coral limestones and volcanic rock predominate; frequent earthquakes indicate structural instability. Active volcanoes are found on several islands, including Séré'ama on Vanua Lava, Manaro on Aoba, Garet on Santa Maria, the twin volcanic vents of Benbow and Marum on Ambrym, and Yasur on Tanna. There are also several submarine volcanoes in the group, and some islands have solfataras or fumaroles. The highest point is Tabwémasana, 6,165 feet (1,879 metres), on Espiritu Santo, the largest island. There are two seasons—hot and wet from November to April, and cooler and drier from May to October. The southeast trades are the prevailing winds, although northerlies during the hot season provide most of the heavy rainfall. Annual precipitation varies from about 80 inches (2,000 mm) in the south to some 160 inches (4,000 mm) in the northern islands. Much of the group is covered by dense rain forest, but drier regions have patches of savanna grassland. Abundant bird and insect life contrasts with the sparse fauna. Of the approximately 10 types of bats found in Vanuatu, three are found only there.
The indigenous population, called ni-Vanuatu, is overwhelmingly Melanesian, though some of the outlying islands have Polynesian populations. There are also small minorities of Europeans, Micronesians, Chinese, and Vietnamese. Roughly three-fourths of the population lives in rural areas, but since independence the urban centres of Luganville and Port-Vila have drawn a significant number of people attracted by better opportunities. More than 100 local Melanesian languages and dialects are spoken; Bislama, an English-based Melanesian pidgin, is the national language and, along with English and French, is one of three official languages.
Some seven-tenths of the population is Protestant, Presbyterians constituting the largest denomination. Other religions include Roman Catholicism, traditional beliefs, and cargo cults.
Subsistence agriculture has traditionally been the economic base of Vanuatu, together with an elaborate exchange network within and between islands. Economic changes occurred with the development of European plantations in the island group after 1867: cotton was the initial crop, followed by corn (maize), coffee, cocoa beans, and coconuts (for copra). Cattle ranching was instituted later. By the 1880s French planters had reversed the initial British domination of the plantation sector, though they too found it increasingly difficult to compete with ni-Vanuatu producers, who could fall back on subsistence agriculture in times of economic downturn. French hopes of economic hegemony, based on high world prices for copra and the importation of Vietnamese labour in the 1920s, were dashed by the Great Depression of the 1930s. By 1948 most of the copra in the island group was being produced by the ni-Vanuatu themselves, though it was not until the development of cooperatives in the 1970s that they were finally able to assume control of the trade.
Kava, beef, copra, timber, and cocoa are the most important exports; Australia, New Caledonia, Japan, and New Zealand are the main export destinations. Imports—mainly of machinery and transport equipment, food and live animals, and mineral fuels—come principally from Australia, Singapore, New Zealand, and Fiji. Because of its vulnerability to weather and commodity market fluctuations, Vanuatu is working toward supplementing large-scale agriculture with stronger extractive, manufacturing, and service sectors to foster its long-term economic growth.
Since independence, Vanuatu's tourism and offshore financial services have emerged as the largest earners of foreign income. The growing lucre generated by tourism has attracted the attention of foreign companies seeking to develop land into resorts and other attractions. Although, according to the 1980 constitution, all land in Vanuatu is under ni-Vanuatu customary collective ownership and cannot be sold to foreigners, increasing interest from abroad in the late 20th and early 21st centuries prompted the government to allow land to be leased for 75-year periods. Such leases were often negotiated to the disadvantage of ni-Vanuatu, however; many included, for example, a provision that, at the end of the 75 years, the customary owners could regain their lands only by paying in full the cost of any development. In the early 21st century there was concern that such provisions would mean the permanent alienation of customarily owned lands.
Forestry, important in the islands' early colonial history but later eclipsed by plantation agriculture, has also grown in importance. Much of the country is forested (including areas of sandalwood and other valuable tropical species). Because the majority of trees felled during the 1980s were exported as unsawn logs, in the early 1990s the government banned exports of roundwood and limited the annual harvest. Earnings from processed wood (mostly sawn on small portable mills) grew as a result, and wood products accounted for a small but significant proportion of exports in the early 21st century. The sale of commercial fishing rights is another important source of foreign revenue, and there is extensive small-scale fishing for local consumption. Mining of manganese ore on Éfaté ended in the 1970s, but later surveys identified a number of remaining deposits there as well as the likely existence of exploitable gold, copper, and petroleum reserves elsewhere in the islands.
On most of Vanuatu's islands, unpaved roads link coastal settlements; there are few interior roads. Interisland transportation is by boat or airplane. Major airports are located near Port-Vila, near Luganville on Espiritu Santo, and on the northwest side of Tanna. Many smaller airfields are scattered throughout the islands.
Government and society
Under the terms of the 1980 constitution, the president, who serves as head of state, is elected to a five-year term by an electoral college made up of the unicameral Parliament and the presidents of the Regional Councils. Members of Parliament are elected to four-year terms on the basis of universal franchise. Parliament elects the chief executive, the prime minister, from among its members; the prime minister then appoints a Council of Ministers. The constitution also provides for a National Council of Chiefs (Malvatumauri), composed of elected "custom chiefs," which advises the government on matters relating to custom and tradition. Provincial authorities are responsible for local governmental functions.
The Supreme Court is the ultimate judicial arbiter of both civil and criminal matters. There are also a court of appeal and magistrates' courts, and island courts may be established by warrant to rule on land disputes. Since independence, defense has been provided through a pact with Papua New Guinea. Vanuatu has no regular military, but the country's police force operates a domestic paramilitary unit, the Vanuatu Mobile Force.
Health care in Vanuatu consists of a main hospital in Vila supplemented by smaller hospitals, clinics, and dispensaries on the other islands. Malaria, tuberculosis, hookworm, and gastroenteritis are the most common diseases.
Although attempts have been made since independence to institute a single, English-speaking education system, ongoing economic aid from France for the maintenance of the Francophone school system has ensured that about half of ni-Vanuatu children receive French-language instruction. Education is free and compulsory for ages 6 to 12, but only about one-third of ni-Vanuatu children undertake postprimary education. The country's school attendance and adult literacy rates are among the lowest in the Pacific, a situation exacerbated by rapid population growth, the distance between settlements, and a shortage of teachers and classrooms in remote areas. The University of the South Pacific's Emalus Campus at Port-Vila (opened in 1989) provides undergraduate and graduate education; the university's law school is there, and students may also study at the university's main campus in Suva, Fiji. A small number of ni-Vanuatu pursue higher education in Papua New Guinea or in France.
Cultural life
The overwhelming majority of ni-Vanuatu are subsistence agriculturalists, living in small rural villages where activities revolve around the land. The constitution guarantees that land cannot be alienated from its "indigenous custom owners," or traditional owners, and their descendants. More than an economic resource, land is the physical embodiment of the metaphysical link with the past, and identification with a particular tract of land (expressed by the Bislama phrase man ples) remains one of the fundamental concepts governing ni-Vanuatu culture, although foreign developers have gained control over some land through long-term leases.
On many islands, men gather nightly at their local nakamal (men's house) to drink kava and communicate with the spirits of their ancestors, whose bones typically are buried nearby. Through magic stones, they attempt to contact and control the spiritual realm they view as all-pervasive. Among the vast majority of rural dwellers, kastom (custom), along with Christianity, continues to guide daily life.
Archaeological evidence indicates that, by 1300 bce, islands in northern Vanuatu had been settled by people of the Lapita culture from Melanesian islands to the west. Since then, there have been successive waves of migrants, including people of Polynesian origin on the southern islands of Aniwa and Futuna (not to be confused with Futuna Island in the French overseas collectivity of Wallis and Futuna). About 1200 a highly stratified society developed in central Vanuatu with the arrival (from the south, according to tradition) of the great chief Roy Mata (or Roymata). His death was marked by an elaborate ritual that included the burying alive of one man and one woman from each of the clans under his influence.
European contact began with the Portuguese explorer Pedro Fernández de Quirós (1606), followed by the French navigator Louis-Antoine de Bougainville (1768) and the British captain James Cook (1774). Cook mapped the island group and named it the New Hebrides. European missionaries and sandalwood traders settled on the fringes of islands from the 1840s, but their impact on the indigenous people was minimal. Significant cultural change occurred only after the 1860s as thousands of ni-Vanuatu men and women who had been indentured to work on plantations in Fiji and New Caledonia and in Queensland, Australia, began to return to their homes. Many established new forms of political influence within the network of Protestant (mainly Presbyterian) missions or successfully competed against European traders and planters in the group. To protect the interests of the mainly British missionaries and mainly French planters, the British and French governments established rudimentary political control with a Joint Naval Commission in 1887.
This arrangement was succeeded in 1906 by an Anglo-French condominium, under which resident commissioners in the capital, Port-Vila, retained responsibility over their own nationals and jointly ruled the indigenous people. This administrative arrangement had only a slight impact, however, on most ni-Vanuatu, whose chief European contact continued to be with either missionaries or planters. The islands became a major Allied base during World War II, when the spectacle of free-spending African American troops inspired the transformation of the Jon (or John) Frum cargo cult on Tanna into an important anti-European political movement. After the war, local political initiatives originated in concern over land ownership. At that time more than one-third of the New Hebrides continued to be owned by foreigners.
Independence was agreed upon at a 1977 conference in Paris attended by British, French, and New Hebridean representatives. Elections were held, and a constitution was drawn up in 1979. Despite an unsuccessful attempt in mid-1980 by Jimmy Stevens, the Na-Griamel Party leader, to establish the independence of the island of Espiritu Santo from the rest of the group, the New Hebrides became independent within the Commonwealth under the name of the Republic of Vanuatu on July 30, 1980; the next month it entered into a defense pact with Papua New Guinea to replace the British and French forces that formerly had defended the islands. In 1982 Vanuatu claimed the uninhabited islands of Matthew and Hunter, about 155 miles (250 km) southeast of Anatom and part of the same archipelago as Vanuatu, in order to expand its exclusive economic zone. France disputed the claim, and the issue continued into the early 21st century without resolution.
The Vanua'aku Pati (VP, "Our Land Party"), headed by Father Walter Lini, formed the first parliamentary majority, with Lini as prime minister. The VP retained slim majorities under Lini's leadership throughout the 1980s. Lini's government pursued a nonaligned foreign policy, establishing diplomatic and economic ties with the major capitalist countries as well as with the Soviet Union, China, Libya, and Cuba. In mid-1991, after no-confidence votes from both the VP's congress and Parliament, Lini was succeeded as party leader and as prime minister by Donald Kalpokas. For the December 1991 general election, Lini and his supporters formed the National United Party (NUP), which won enough seats to form a coalition government with the former opposition, the Union of Moderate Parties (UMP), under the francophone prime minister Maxime Carlot Korman.
Carlot Korman retained the post through a series of coalition governments until the 1995 general election, which initiated six years of unstable parliamentary coalitions with six changes of prime minister, including additional terms for former premiers Carlot Korman and Kalpokas and two brief terms for Rialuth Serge Vohor of the UMP. Several of the administrations (notably Carlot Korman's and that headed by Barak Sope of the Melanesian Progressive Party in 1999–2001) came apart amid charges of official corruption and criminal activity. Despite the ongoing political turmoil, the government in 1997 adopted a comprehensive reform program funded by the Asian Development Bank, the main objectives of which were to reform the civil service and other public-sector institutions, improve infrastructure, and attract increased foreign investment. Although the frequent changes of government in the late 20th and early 21st centuries indicated a sometimes fragile stability, overall Vanuatu was considered one of the more peaceful and successful countries of the region.Ron Adams Sophie Foster
In March 2015, however, Vanuatu suffered a severe setback to its development when Cyclone Pam, a category 5 (highest intensity) tropical cyclone, struck the islands. It wreaked devastation across the archipelago, including the island of Éfaté and Port-Vila on it, which had just completed rebuilding from a 2002 earthquake that had greatly damaged the town's infrastructure. The storm, which reached wind speeds of up to 185 miles (300 km) per hour, flattened buildings throughout the islands, destroyed crops, caused loss of life, and left thousands of people homeless.The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica

Becker-Underwood has been in the inoculants business for some time, and its success hasn't been missed. In fact, the company was acquired by BASF late in 2012 and is the core of a new Functional Crop Care Unit, which includes research, development and marketing activities in the seed treatment, biological crop protection and plant health segments.
Farm Industry News took a tour of the St. Joseph, Mo., Becker Underwood facility to see how inoculants are produced. The company makes a wide range of products, including the soybean inoculant Vault HP plus Integral. The product includes the rhizobial inoculant, a patented growth enhancer and Integral biofungicide in a single package.
This photo gallery takes a look at the steps involved in producing a core product - the rhizobial inoculant. This is a living product and Becker Underwood holds to production standards required in other countries. Interestingly, the United States has very little regulation of rhizobial inoculant products - including what's actually on the seed at planting. However, Canada has a much stricter program, and that's the one Becker Underwood follows.
Chris Feiden, operations manager, Becker Underwood, led a tour for media through the St. Joseph, Mo., facility showing the process. All along the way, he also noted the quality control steps involved in the process, from tracking purity to managing growth.
The inoculant business is competitive and farmers are seeing the potential for this kind of addition at planting to boost yield potential. In fact, the drought of 2012 may have caused a reduction of beneficial Bradyrhizobium japonicum, the chief nodule-building rhizobia, population in the soil ahead of the 2013 crop year. Ohio State University and other experts are suggesting that farmers should consider using inoculant with soybeans for this crop year.
It is that rhizobial inoculum in the soil, through a unique symbiotic relationship, that helps soybeans add those nitrogen-filled nodules on roots. Boosting rhizobial levels by adding inoculant can offer as much as an 11 to 1 return on your investment versus no treatment, according to Becker Underwood.
Check out the gallery and note that from a single vial of inoculum comes a season's worth of product for Becker Underwood to market.

Hello everyone,
I hope that everyone was able to find some time to remember during Remembrance Day yesterday. Having the day off yesterday has thrown me for a bit of a loop – today feels like Monday, except it's Friday tomorrow. I guess that's not a bad thing!
Right now there are many Price employees at the Greenbuild Conference and Expo in Phoenix, Arizona. We have a booth (see photo below!) that we hope conveys Price's respect for the environment. Sustainable solutions for saving energy are not only good for the planet, but have financial savings benefits as well. Many buildings are now striving to become LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified. For more info on the LEED program, check out the US Green Buildings Council website here: http://www.usgbc.org/DisplayPage.aspx?CategoryID=19
Of course, Al Gore is this year's keynote speaker at the event. Here's hoping that the green energy that comes from that conference can be passed on to everyone who was unable to attend!
