2007-10-27 03:40 Asheville after the storm
I missed the bus last night. Seems like I've been missing a lot this week. Work has been a storm of activity. A project, a Weekly Planner, I sent to press at the beginning of the month finally arrived and looks fantastic. But like two weather fronts colliding, the Weekly Planner crashes into another project, a paperback book, and it seems the days and nights wrestle for control of my energy. I missed The Kakalak Poets on Saturday, but caught the Bernstein and Cabanis-Brewin reading at Malaprop's …

2007-10-19 10:01 Sophisticated attack targeted Bhutto in Pakistan
The aftermath of the attack on Bhutto's convoy. Click to view. As the toll from yesterday's ambush on former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto convoy rises to 132 killed and upwards of 500 wounded, the details of the strike emerge. The attack was a sophisticated, coordinated strike carried out by professional terrorists. Conflicting reports exist, but it is clear at least one suicide bomber, and possibly two, conducted the attack, possibly in conjunction with snipers, a car bomb, and a person throwi …

2007-10-12 11:18 We've been 'Kuwaiti-rised' by 3 million 'Palestinians'
The verbal stoush reported in Malaysiakini between the Indonesian Enbassy and the Director of Rela Zaidon Asmuni, reminds us again of the danger of Rela, a private army for some UMNO warlords. Please read my earlier posts: (1) Rela-gate! Do we have Warlords (2) Rela-gate - we want some answers! (3) Warlords & their goons (4) Home Ministry sets Rela hounds on traders!

2007-10-11 11:11 Beauty and the ˜burqua
Reuters here reports on a version of 'America' s next Top Model' from Afghanistan. It struck me as an issue full of ambivalence for feminists; on the one hand, there's the recently reported on problem of the 'whitewash' of the fashion world (see here ). Given this, the promotion of different ideals of beauty seems to be a good thing. But on the other hand, the body image emphasis of these programs is something that, for the most, I find myself uncomfortable with. To illustrate my ill-ease, consi …

Or Deportation Without a Guarded Border is a Futile Gesture My guess is that the Reuter reporter's intention in her article, Deportees use "revolving door" to return to U.S., is to positively portray the pluckiness and determination of the deported illegals who return back to the United States. Of course, I could be wrong. But the one thing that should be taken away from this article is that deportation is nearly meaningless if we don't guard our borders.

2007-08-31 14:16 Michael Jackson: Journalist
Yesterday I wrote: "and I m sure that news stories and tributes will appear soon enough elsewhere on the Internet." Only a bit of an understatement. I have no idea how many billion kilobytes went winging about the Interest yesterday - in blogs, on discussion boards, via e-mail - in which people shared their memories and paid tribute to Michael Jackson. I was going to compile a list of links, to make sure you didn't miss the best, but it grew far too long. (Head to really simple BEER syndication …

Politically dominant Malays want the singer, a 24-year-old Malaysian Chinese student living in Taiwan, to be jailed or even stripped of his citizenship for the controversial …

MOSCOW (Reuters) - A woman set fire to her ex-husband's penis as he sat naked watching television and drinking vodka, Moscow police said Wednesday. Asked if the man would make a full recovery, a police spokeswoman said it was "difficult to predict." The attack climaxed three years of acrimonious enforced co-habitation.

User level transactional programming in Haskell, Peter Thiemann, 2006 Haskell Workshop. Correct handling of concurrently accessed external resources is a demanding problem in programming. The standard approaches rely on database transactions or concurrency mechanisms like locks. The paper considers two such resources, global variables and databases, and defines transactional APIs for them in Haskell. The APIs provide a novel flavor of user-level transactions which are particularly suitable in th …

Yes, from June to November is hurricane season on Hawaii, whether we want to hear it or not. It is good to know and be prepared, as a visitor to the islands or as a Hawaii resident. Sure, this is not Florida where one hurricane hits one after the other but we easily forget that Hawaii can get hit too. In 1992, just one year after I had moved to the Hawaiian Islands, Hurricane Iniki was following a direct path to the Big Island. It was more than scary. My family called and wanted to know how we w …

Here's an utterly delicious item from The Guardian :Ascribing sinister motives to Britain has long been an integral part of Iranian culture and political life. But now pro-government hardliners have accused the country they label the "old fox" of plumbing new depths of chicanery by digging a tunnel to ferry spies and prostitutes into its embassy in Tehran. Iranian authorities claim to have uncovered a long subterranean passage leading to the embassy compound, which occupies a large area in the c …

"U.S. officials have called the meeting a make-or-break moment for the government, which was formed in 2006 to reduce violence by including all groups but has been paralysed by boycotts and infighting on ethnic and sectarian lines. The worst split occurred this month when the main Sunni Arab bloc, the Accordance Front, withdrew its six members. "The Sunni Arabs, who along with Shi'ites and Kurds are one of the three parts of Iraqi society, will not be excluded from the government," Maliki said. …

This Reuter s article is an interesting reflection on the 50-plus and their tech literacy. If you are interested in jazz and blues music then the recording company Blue Note might mean something to you. I means nothing to me. It appears that by the end of August the label will have revamped its Web site to become a social network and digital music store for fans of jazz and blues, rather than its current format - a simple promotional site. The core age demographic of its customers is 35-54. Not …
