Measuring Value in MBA Programmes

  • Haksever Cengiz
  • Muragishi Yuki
Registered author(s):

    This paper presents an application of data envelopment analysis to measure value added in Master of Business Administration (MBA) education in the US. The paper focuses on the MBA programme as an example of a value-adding process in education and demonstrates how such programmes may be evaluated in terms of their efficiency in providing value to students. Results of experiments with various combinations of input and output measures are reported. The top 20 MBA programmes do not seem to be different from the second 20 in terms of average efficiency.

A Theory of International Currency and Seigniorage Competition

  • Yiting Li

    (Department of Economics, National Twaiwan University)

  • Akihiko Matsui

    (Faculty of Economics, University of Tokyo)

This paper explicitly considers strategic interaction between governments to study currency competition and its effects on the circulation of currencies and welfare in a two-country, two-currency search theoretic model. Each government uses seigniorage to provide public goods. Agents consume private goods, and the public goods of their own country. We have several findings. The negative impact of a country's inflationary policy on the realm of circulation of its currency imposes an inflation discipline: the more open a country is, the stronger is the discipline. The worldwide circulation of a currency increases seigniorage and welfare and decreases the inflation rate of the issuing country compared to autarky. The other country, since the tax base is reduced due to the use of foreign currency, raises its inflation rate. However, there is a limit on the rate beyond which it cannot maintain the circulation of national money. Under strategic interaction between governments in selecting equilibrium, the larger country would try to lower the inflation rate to make its currency circulate abroad, while the other country may also lower the inflation rate to sustain its national currency as the sole medium of exchange.

The Redistributive Role of Minimum Wage Legislation and Unemployment Insurance

  • Nicolas Marceau
  • Robin Boadway

The use of unemployment insurance and minimum wages as instruments for redistributing income are analyzed. The government is assumed to be able to implement an optimal income tax in an economy consisting of two ability-types of persons. The effect of introducing a minimum wage which induces involuntary unemployment combined with unemployment insurance is considered. Social welfare can be improved despite the possible revenue costs to the government if the policy causes a self-selection constraint to be weakened by enough. Sufficiency conditions are derived for this to be the case.

Throwing gas on the fire. Brrrr. That’s cold.

Thank you for stopping in with words of encouragement and a hug and a what-the-heck comment. And thanks for the emails and words of support.

please don’t stop patronizing a business because of one person’s mistake.

If you already were a customer of the place, liked the food and service and atmosphere and whatever… please please please still patronize it.

Today, I was approached by one of our local newspapers who was asking for a comment about this “story” and I knew that publishing something in the paper would be a huge mistake. It’s not that newsworthy, for one. And for two, who suffers for it?

If I screwed up and made a stupid mistake in judgement, my employees have nothing to do with it and shouldn’t be penalized for it.

My response when questioned today reiterated such:

Mr. *** is a partner in the business. His silent partner is a well-respected and liked business person in the community (he also owns ***).

The BTC also employs over 30 people. It doesn’t seem fair that the actions of Mr. *** should trickle down and have a negative effect on those who rely on their jobs at the BTC.

The employees of the BTC use their paychecks locally at other businesses, including mine. They pay their bills and feed their families with those paychecks. If customers choose to not patronize the BTC, I would rather it be for their own personal affront instead of as retribution on behalf of the restaurants targeted by Mr. ***.

It’s not that big a deal, now that we all know. The gig is up. The cat is out of the bag.

He made a huge boo-boo and people are mad, but at least it’s all out in the open.

And here’s a way to spin it into something helpful:

We will all now be skeptical when it comes to anonymous “reviews”.

Us restaurant owners will still read the comments left for us on Yelp, TripAdvisor, UrbanSpoon (and whatever other “review” site pops up in the future)… and we will immediately act on constructive criticism.

And non-restaurant owners who have read this story will now know to take the “reviews” on the internet with a virtual grain of salt.

A big, huge, gnarly grain of salt.

Final words on this subject for me:

A fire was set, and those who were burned fought back.

But throwing gas on the fire isn’t going to help anyone nearby. It will create a town of ashes and animosity, and that would be pretty dumb considering how great a place it is that we live in.

So back to work.
All of you.

Bok Choy and Turnip Greens

Well, tonight I had my first-ever disappointing experience with a 5 Spices, 50 Dishes recipe. My first response, as I doctored up the tasteless, watery black-eyed pea curry, was anger and a sense of betrayal. But as I realized the specific missing flavors that I was trying to add into the dish – fat and sweet – my eyes strayed over to the empty can of coconut milk – lite coconut milk (it was all I had in the house!) – and I knew I had no one to blame but myself.

Well, the curry ended up quite edible after generous infusions of ginger, Earth Balance, salt, and vermouth. (How does vermouth make absolutely everything better?) And I accompanied it with a fabulous side – spicy bok choy and turnip greens stir fried with garlic and ginger. Unfortunately at this late stage in the game I had to compost at least half the turnip greens, which is a shame. I don’t know if I’ve ever cooked them before. I was put off by their prickly texture when they were raw, but once they were cooked I could not get enough of them. Super-yum!

Stir-fried Bok Choy and Turnip Greens with Goan Black-Eyed Pea Curry Over Brown Rice

I’m about to run out of garlic (although luckily Libby left me some she had in her bag from hostelling), and the curry used my second to last onion. I may have to go shopping soon for these must-have staples if the magic box fails to provide…

With no further ado, however, here is the recipe I used for the bok choy (it’s modified from the internet and I want to make sure I have a copy for the future – it was that good).

Spicy Bok Choy and Turnip Greens with Garlic and Ginger

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 5 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon Thai red curry paste
  • 1 head mature bok choy, sliced crosswise 1/2 inch thick
  • 1 bunch turnip greens
  • Salt
  • 3 tablespoons broth
  • 2 tablespoons vermouth (recipe called for Shaoxing rice wine, which would be great, but I’m out)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce

Heat a large wok or skillet until very hot. Add the canola oil and heat until just smoking. Add the garlic, ginger and chili paste and stir-fry until lightly browned, about 30 seconds. Add the bok choy and turnip greens and a pinch of salt and stir-fry until crisp-tender, 5 minutes. Add the broth, cooking wine and soy sauce and cook, tossing, for 2 minutes longer. Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil.

    Lite coconut milk – ick! Once I ended up with a can when I mistakenly took it from the shop’s shelf, i.e. meaning to take full-cream. Later when I was in the middle of cooking I realised my cockup but went ahead and used it anyway, thinking that it won’t taste so bad. Hmpf. The dish came out disgustingly watery and not so tasty. Low-fat products should be banned!

    See? We’re perfect cooks, it’s the ingredients’ fault! :-P

  3. scrumptious says:

    Exactly! Either the ingredients’ fault, or, on those occasions that I make a new recipe by following a recipe instead of my own instincts, it’s definitely the recipe’s fault.

    I used to cook with lite coconut milk kind of obliviously. I think either my palate has become more sensitive. I won’t be making that mistake again!

    It’s really awesome to see you here, Michelle. Thanks for commenting!

The Residents – Santa Dog

Congratulations to THE RESIDENTS for forty years of fine music. It all started in 1972 with Santa Dog

From the Bach Is Dead Discography: “This double 7″ single set with a gatefold sleeve is the first official Ralph Records release. Roughly 500 were made and many have the gatefold sleeves stuck together because they were folded and packaged before the varnish, applied to seal in the hand silk-screened cover art, had sufficiently dried. All copies are signed and intentionally misnumbered.”

From Wikipedia: “Santa Dog was the first official release from The Residents and Ralph Records. It was a double single released in December, 1972. The single was packaged to look like a Christmas card from an insurance agency and was mailed to various recipients, including Frank Zappa and Richard Nixon. The remaining copies were sold through Ralph’s mail order service. Although all four songs were performed by the Residents, they are attributed to different bands.”

Romney Chooses Paul Ryan as Running Mate

August 13, 2012

I remember last year, Paul Ryan was chosen by the Republican Party to give a response to Obama’s State of the Union Address. I liked it, actually. It really seemed as if he was a true fiscal conservative. But then these are just words, all plain rhetoric fabricated by the establishment Republicans. If we want to examine if he truly is a fiscal conservative, we have got to examine his voting record. It’s that simple, really.

To be honest, the video above makes him look as if he is a small-government libertarian type. In one interview, he even mentions that his influences include Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman, and Friedrich Hayek (source), many of whom are significant contributors to the libertarian political philosophy. It annoys me that he can reference those people as influences and yet take many positons that go against liberty.

This is why many times libertarians are accused of being neoconservative establishment Republicans especially since many times there is the same kind of rhetoric and also since representative Ron Paul, one of the most significant personalities in the liberty movement, has been a member of the Republican Party for many years.

With all the debt crisis and economic problems in the US right now and even with problems with the euro, it’s very strategic for the Republican Party to choose Paul Ryan as Romney’s vice presidential running mate. Having someone who sounds like he is a consistent fiscal conservative is great publicity for Romney who has flip-flopped on so many issues for many years (most definitely also a better choice than McCain team’s choosing of Sarah Palin as running mate). This is also true especially since many times he has also taken positons deemed too extreme or radical by the establishment.

Paul Ryan talks to Obama during Bipartisan Meeting on Healthcare Insurance

The problem is he votes for expanding unnecessary wars and interventionism. He voted for the Patriot Act. He voted for military arrest and indefinite detention of their own citizens. He voted for TARP and the bailouts. How can you call yourself a fiscal conservative if you vote for all those things?

More importantly, he mentioned “sound money” in the video. This, of course, from a libertarian point-of-view, entails some sort of transition from fiat currency to a commodity-backed currency. By being Romney’s VP running mate, it’s obvious that his position on monetary policy is no different from those establishment folk. This guy is a typical ambitious politician who is willing to compromise principles to achieve political power.

What’s really interesting is that no matter who wins this November between Romney or Obama, nothing will really change most especially when it comes to monetary policy.

    Buying silver in SGD is not as good as you imagine as USDSGD would drop. Might as well buy other forms of PM. The Oct GST law only applies to Au and not Ag.

Album Review

On their fourth album, the Nields remain primarily a vehicle for Nerissa Nields' songs, which here are concerned with the opportunities and pressures of community and relationships. A search for home is the subject of several songs, but Nields makes it clear that home is to be found in emotional commitment, not in a specific place. In fact, the more conventional sense of home is a place to be escaped from: In both "This Town Is Wrong" and "Caroline Dreams," specific friends identified by name are urged to get away, and the spoken word "Barbi Poem" associates convention with artificiality. The songwriter's affection for locations is ironically tinged. In the lead-off track, the catchy "Jeremy Newborn Street," she is content to wait even though she's been stood up, while the "May Day Cafe" is a place she goes to drink alone. Her ambiguous sense of romantic attachment is expressed in a trilogy of songs in the middle of the album, beginning with the unlimited devotion of "One Hundred Names," continuing with the dangerous attraction of "Mr. Right Now," and concluding with "Jack the Giant Killer," which is about domestic abuse. By the end of the record, she declares, "I Still Believe in My Friends." The accompanying music to these songs generally falls into the category of Beatles-influenced, folkish pop/rock, specifically the Beatles music of 1966-67 found on the singles "Paperback Writer"/"Rain" and "Penny Lane"/"Strawberry Fields Forever" and the album Revolver, with their touches of strings and horns augmenting the pop arrangements. Katryna Nields remains her sister's mouthpiece, with Nerissa joining in on harmonies, and she gives the lyrics an emotional edge with the pronounced break between her chest and head voices, which she uses to expressive effect. This is elegant, appealing music that speaks to the varied concerns of contemporary women.

Formed: 1991

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '90s, '00s

The Nields are one of the most exciting of the new breed of contemporary folk-rockers. A review of a Nields concert described their music as "equal parts Beatles, Cranberries and Joni Mitchell." Although they began as an acoustic trio in 1991, the Nields have evolved into a high-energy quintet. While Nerissa Nields' songs, sung by her sister, Katryna, successfully fuse intelligent lyrics with heartfelt sensitivity, arrangements are kept at a feverish pitch by the Pete Townshend-...

Open iTunes to preview, buy and download music.

Album Review

On this album of nearly solo guitar instrumentals, Chet Atkins plays with his usual ease and dexterity, beginning with some tasty originals and gradually moving into such standards as "Mr. BoJangles" and "Cheek to Cheek." The most unusual track is the in-concert vocal performance "I Still Write Your Name in the Snow," which is a bit more risque than you might expect, but makes a welcome change of pace.

Born: 20 June 1924 in Luttrell, TN

Genre: Country

Years Active: '40s, '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s

Without Chet Atkins, country music may never have crossed over into the pop charts in the '50s and '60s. Although he recorded hundreds of solo records, Atkins' largest influence came as a session musician and a record producer. During the '50s and '60s, he helped create the Nashville...

Comparing the EOS 50D and EOS 500D Cameras

EOS 500D

Image courtesy and copyright Canon

Its only been two days since Canon announced the new ESO 500D / Rebel T1i and already some EOS 50D owners are crying foul. Especially since this new consumer grade DSLR borrows so much technology from its older sibling the EOS 50D such as its:

  • 15.1 Megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor.
  • ISO 100-3200 (expandable to 12800).
  • 3.0” ClearView LCD with Live View mode.
  • 9-point wide area AF with cross type center point.
  • High speed DIGIC 4 performance and superb image quality.
  • EOS Integrated Cleaning System.

As well as the fact that it goes one step further and provides full HD movie recording capabilities with HDMI connection for viewing and playback on an HDTV, just like the new 5D mark II.

Do these similarities really matter to EOS 50D owners or are the differences in build quality, size, weight, viewfinder, auto focus, burst rate and accessories enough to differentiate the two cameras?

Will Canon release a firmware update for the EOS 50D that enables HD movie recording or will this feature continue to grace only its consumer and professional grade cameras?

Or will the Fake Chuck Westfall spend the next few months lampooning Canon’s seemingly unusual marketing scheme?

Only time will tell!

  1. Hello,

    Currently I’m useing a 350D and want to upgrade. I was intresseted in buy the 500D/550D, but considering the 50D now.

    For trainspotting the higher fps is a pro. But how about noice? I think my 350D has a lot of noice when shooting above 200ISO.

  2. hi.

    i am a bigginner at photography and i’m looking to buy a camera.

    i’m keen on the pentax kx with the standard lens plus the pentax da55-300mm f/4-5.8 ed lens.

    im also looking at the canon 500d with standard lens and ef-s 55-250 f/4-5.6 is lens.

    i would probably use the camera alot in the game parks.

    can any one give me some advice on which camera to choose.

    • Shane,

      Thanks for reading. I’ve never used Pentax cameras so I can’t really help you decide. I’d recommend renting each camera (if possible) to see which fits you better.

  3. Hi Jeff,

    Can you kindly explain a little further when you stated that ‘500D like all other Canon DSLRs doesn’t shoot in RAW mode if configures properly’ May I ask what is the configuration.I am interested in photographing and is currently considering extremely cautious on the camera I am going to invest in.Thank you in advance for your tips and advice.

    • Blance,

      Most consumer grade DSLR cameras from Canon are configured to shoot JPEG images by default. You can changes this in the menu system to shoot RAW or RAW & JPEG at the same time. You can download the 500D manual from Canon’s web site and see exactly how this is done.

  4. Well I just decided coming back home that I want to leave my Nikon D200 and D2x in the dusts of America and go back to the awesomeness of Canon’s true colour quality cameras.

    I been trying to work out which of these two camera’s is the winner. For obviously known reasons, in the past rebel have always been the cheap knock off versions of the EOS camera’s.
    However the 500D is a high end Rebel camera. What’s really doing my head in, is this HD video, I mean get real. DSLR cameras are made to take photographs after all what on earth are you purchasing one to make video clips for. Go get yourself a camcorder then.

    But other than that whole ordeal it seems the only con to buying a 500D is the high speed action photography. If you need to capture extremely quick sequences of photos in rapid succession, then you’ll need the 50D, as it is able to shoot at either 6.3 fps or 3 fps, while the 500D is only capable of 3.4 fps.

    The 50D is the faster camera due to the difference in the number of channels that is dedicated to sensor data readout.

    The shutterspeed are different on the 2 aswell. 500D is 1/4000 whereas the 50D is 1/8000 but get real how many photographers actually shoot that sharp.

    There’s some difference with white balance feature, where you cannot use the kelvin values on the 500D. This stating the camera can’t be used for proper studio work.

    So therefore you cannot shoot as fast, you have less weight to carry, a cheaper camera all in all and i’ve read something about the autofocus not being as precise as the 50D. Quality is the same between the camera’s and they have the same CCD.

    But my conclusion to why any proffessional photographer wouldn’t want to use the 500D is that it doesn’t have a RAW function to shoot on. Ie. the loss of fun in post production

    Take it or leave it just some shared info for all of yas ;)

    • Richard,

      Thanks for reading and for your comments on the 500D. My only comment is that the 500D like all other Canon DSLRs does shoot in RAW mode if configured properly.

  5. Hello.I am from Portugal. I would like to buy a camera. Can you tell me if Canon E OS 500 and objective 18-200 mm is a good option? I am not a professional. photography is my hobby.Have you experienced this models? Thank you in advance for your reply. Maria

    • Maria,

      Thanks for reading and for your questions. For a beginning amateur photography, the new EOS 500D and the EF-S 18-200mm zoom are a great choice. Good image quality at an affordable price.

  6. I came across a photo of the Rebel with a battery grip on it….and it does look like it has more size, of course. But…you have to go spend the $$$ on a battery grip! Kind of pointless.

    Also agree about the attraction of video for the photographer. I’ve been doing an informal poll with some pro Canon shooters I know. Seems kind of split. I hope to cover this over at JSP blog at some point.

    Happy Sunday!

  7. Hi Jeff,

    I see 2 problems with Canon releasing a firmware upgrade to add video capability to 50D.

    1. Canon has never been know to add extra features to DSLR cameras via firmware update in the past.

    2. The more serious problem is that, the 50D does NOT have a builtin microphone or any audio input. It would be pretty useless to add video capability without any audio.

    The most likely scenario would be Canon adding Full HD 1080p30 capability to the 60D to replace the 50D some time in the future.

  8. I’m interested to see as well. I want to get one in my hand to see how it feels. Kinda looks small in a man’s hand (and I don’t have big hands) from what I’ve seen.

    I may still shoot for the 50D. Video is nice but…do I really need it? I’d rather have the camera feel good in my hand. As I said over at JerseyStyle Photography, Digital Rebels have felts light and not very strong to me.

    • I tend to agree Mark. The Rebel line of cameras are very small even with a battery grip. The 40D/50D and 5D/5DMKII seem just about the right size and weight. As for video, I just don’t see the attraction. Canon already makes some excellent video gear but I just don’t see many folks crossing over from still images to video.

The View From My Seat: San Jose 2012 Nationals

I enjoyed capturing the magic of the US Nationals Long Programs and Free Dances from my 16th row seats. My Canon PowerShot SX 2010 IS, although not a professional SLR, gets me close to the action, with its 14X zoom.

There were so many unforgettable moments, more predictably including the tributes to Rudy and Michelle, and LPs/FDs by gold medalists Jeremy Abbott, Davis & White, and Denney & Coughlin. But, brilliance from dark horses Ashley Wagner and Adam Rippon, as well as up-and-comers Jason Brown, Jonathan Cassar and Doug Razzano, and a rallying comeback from Carolyn Zhang were equally thrilling. My top 20 photos reflect some of these moments, and more.

I hope you enjoy the view from my seat!

Christmas in the Ballroom 2011 (a track off our live CD).

It features our chorale of 9 and pianist in a simple, largely unison arrangement of the Holst classic, by Catherine Bennett. So atmospheric and peace-filled.

The photography is from my february visit to beautiful Telluride, CO.

May you have peace and joy!

Our Pink Martini Music Video Won 4th Place!

Our prizes?

Two guest list tickets for an upcoming Pink Martini show, as well as some “other gifts” (possibly P.M. schwag?!). We’re contemplating one of the Hollywood Bowl Pink Martini shows in September. But, it’s tempting to save up for a European concert locale.

What people are saying

Pink Martini’s Business Manager shared this:

“We’ve been consistently amused by your video since its submission. In fact, it was the first video we received that we really loved, and at that time, unsure how the contest would go, we were relieved to know we had at least one gem. By far the best of the “home video” type entries we received.

We’d love to…post it permanently on our YouTube channel and on our website, and use it at other venues too. Thanks again for your video, and thank your fabulous cast for us as well!”

The creation of the video was a joy, but the contest announcements have brought it all to life again!

See their facebook page for fan’s comments on our video and to follow the remaining contest, and click “Like” to keep up-to-date on their concerts and activities.

“Ohayoo Ohio” Music Video Contest Entry

Eleven months ago CJ and I launched the plans for my 40th Birthday celebration at the stylish, Mid-Century resort: The Century Palm Springs. Taking our favorite band’s festive inspiration, and our plans to imbibe cocktails aplenty, we named the weekend “Pink Martini-Land!”

Fast forwarding to one week before our departure, CJ made the very happy discovery on facebook of the Pink Martini music video contest. When I saw that “Ohayoo Ohio” (“Hello Ohio”) was one of the options, it was clearly kismet (I was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio). The stars had aligned, and we heeded their creative calling!

We hope you have even half as much fun as we did creating it! And now, we cross our fingers and hope that the judges get swept up into our world of muumuu runway shows, gleeful synchronized swimming, swingin’ faux percussion, “Mrs. Groper” (CJ as a baked Mrs. Roper-type) and more!

My 40th Bday in Palm Springs: Pink Martini-Land!

My head is still a bit in the clouds, after an unforgettable 40th birthday celebration in Palm Springs, entitled “Pink Martini-Land!”. It was our second time at The Century resort, and I already can’t wait to go back. My friends made it so very special, *sigh*! Wanna stay there yourself, or see details, go to

The Century garden and poolside, with a perfect view of the San Jacinto Mountains.

Me and my $9.00 muumuu!

Is Kristi Yamaguchi Jewish?

On our way to Palm Springs we discovered a wondrous thing: the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame Kristi Yamaguchi relief sculpture portrait and placard. It deems her “one of the most electrifying skaters in the modern era.” That’s not a word I would associate with her…perhaps “consistent,” “committed,” “graceful,” “inspiring,” “smooth”?

I mean no disrespect to Kristi, but as you can see, this portrait bears as much a resemblance to her as to the love child of Tracy Gold and Joan Rivers. On that note, a friend noted that she looked Jewish. Maybe she is?

But, judge for yourself…

“Pink Martini-Land!”

I’m off to the second installment of my 40th B-day festivities, entitled:

Toodles for now! Meet me at poolside!

Support Doctors Without Borders in Haiti

Noone needs to be told how dire the state of emergency is in Haiti, following the devastating earthquake on January 12th. Although there are surely many disaster-response organizations doing good work, my familiarity with Doctors Without Borders encourages me to share this link. Through my friend John, who is in the DWB network, I know that this organization does invaluable work in responding to such disasters. Click on this banner image below to make a donation!:

Read the most recent SF Chron article: Haiti aid flow grows; feuds over reaching victims. The death toll may reach 200,000. Although no less tragic, that’s nearly two times the civilian death toll in the six year war in Iraq.

My heart goes out to all those who have lost loved-ones, and to the spirit of those whose lives were cut mercilessly short. I offer up the prayer and plea that the rescue and relief efforts be able to reach those in need as soon as possible.

A tale of Noblegarden.

Or, how to keep hundreds of overachievers busy.

Was it just my server, or is every server’s newbie area overrun with a peculiar affair?

That of hundreds of rabbits, all level 80, simply sitting in place, not moving, waiting,

waiting, …

waiting for the egg that, apparently, will spawn in front of them to spawn in front of them.

These rabbits all over the place.  Quietly parked at every building edge, every feature of Azure Watch…

Because the Overachievers MUST HAVE the Violet Proto-Drake, THIS YEAR, BY GUM!, they’re going to sit in place for … hours? and wait for the egg to respawn directly in front of them.  (Violet Prot0-drake the reward for achieving all seasonal events.)

Sorry, dumb me, I was running around, in rabbit form, (for some reason), and I took the eggs where I saw them.  I turned the quests in, and then  I left a lot of rabbits parked where I first saw them, waiting, and waiting.

I’m not sure if this event is working as intended.  Or they’re just there to  collect the required 10,250 eggs, with the absolute least amount of effort, and be done with it today.  Then it’s back to … raiding?  (Minimize effort to maximum effect.)

Or, it’s like that old idiom:

How do you keep an idiot busy?  See next sentence.

How do you keep an idiot busy?  See previous paragraph.

Anyway, it’s back to the tournament for me.  :)  (Two Champions now.)

P.S. The wife checked out Goldshire.  Same thing.  Rabbits lining the all walls, immobile, twitching, waiting for the egg to spawn in front of their little whiskers.  Hundreds.  She’ll try some other time.

    It was, after all, only the first day (and it was also a Sunday… what else has anyone got to do?) I have a strong feeling as the week goes on there will be a lot less waiting and watching going on. It only took me a couple of hours to finish the entire event, and I alternated between sitting and watching and running around racing to catch eggs, as well as visiting all the different towns rather than trying to ‘min/max’ the best and least populated area. :)

    I really want a couple of the rewards on an alt, but she can wait til Thursday or Friday to go egg-hunting!

  2. Kinless says:

    WoWInterface had a cool addon just for this. It puts a message “ZOMG an egg!” on your screen and plays a sound when you move your mouse over an egg. Great for differentiating between a brightly colored egg, and the small version of it (not what you want) or a brightly colored rabbit sitting in a bush.

    I haven’t really looked into what I was supposed to do for “completing” the Noblegarden event. Collecting everything they’re offering by turning in enough chocolates? That’s a lot of chocolates!

  3. Brajana says:

    Everything that you can buy with the chocolates can also be found by picking up eggs. I managed to get all but the Tuxedo Shirt and the Bunny Ears while saving up the eggs for the “Eat 100 Eggs” achievement, so then I just need to find an extra 75 to buy those. It’s still a lot of eggs… but I guess i was just having so much fun doing it that it didn’t feel like that much :)

  4. Windpaw says:

    I will likely never have a violet protodrake – I simply cannot stand to waste what little game time I have at the moment, in rabbit form, sitting in some secluded corner of Razor Hill – waiting for eggs to materialize.

    I did it long enough to kill a couple of quests and nab a couple of achievements – but it is highly unlikely you will see yours truly running around with “The Noble” title anytime (ever)

    Now if I could play at work? It would be done ;)

If these bugs were fixed by changes new in this upstream release, then

However, since this does not appear to be the case, these bugs should not
have been closed in the changelog.

There's a bunch of stuff in the list archives, which I'm too lazy to
hunt through and cut-n-paste ;-)

Searching terms like "lsof" and "noflushd" should find most of the
relevant information.

Hardware question (urgent)

I'm new on Debian Sparc and have a question about hardware we have to
decide for in a limited time frame (sorry for the urgent tag).

We have got a certain promotion offer which includes:

  2 x 400MHz UltraSPARC-II CPUs, 2MB E-cache
  2048MB memory
  4 x 36GB 10000RPM UltraSCSI disk drive (hotswap)
  Sun StorEdge DVD-ROM 10 drive
  2 x 360 Watt Power supplies

We want to use this as server for dynamic web content using Zope
and PostgreSQL as well as ftp server.  The question is:  Does Debian
GNU/Linux support RAID features on this system.  The salesman claims
to be responsible only for Solaris and I'm on my own with Linux.

Anybody has a similar system running or has experiences with RAID.
I was assured that dualprocessor Suns run best under Linux before.

What about system features described on the web site as:
     * Automatic System Recovery detects failed hardware components--and
       boots around them.
     * Built-in RSC notifies you of problems via the Net or modem, and
       enables remote rebooting and viewing of past events.

I would really like to install Debian on this box because I know it
very well.  Is there anything I should aware of if I have a pure i386

Thanks for any hint

      I've tried both versions of rxvt here and they produce the same codes
      for the function keys.  The only thing that I can guess could be
      causing this is the change in the way rxvt handles X resources.  Do
      you have any rxvt related entries in your ~/.Xdefaults, ~/.Xresources,
      or (if it exists) /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt files?

Yap! That's the problem. I tried with the entries with F1-F12 commented in
.Xresources, and it worked like a charm. I think I put them in because of an
older mc didn't like those keys.

Question about X build tactics.

Is there a big reason why lndir is not used instead of cp in the build

For reasons of disk space alone something along the lines of:

        mkdir $(SOURCE_TREE)
        lndir ../../$(SOURCE_TREE)-real $(SOURCE_TREE)/ ifndef NOT_BUILDING_X_SERVER
        # create source tree for static, debuggable XFree86 server
        mkdir $(SOURCE_TREE)-xserver-xfree86-dbg
        lndir ../../$(SOURCE_TREE)-real $(SOURCE_TREE)-xserver-xfree86-dbg/

Seems reasonable, are there any catches that I am missing? (Aside from
the minor bootstrapping problem as lndir is part of X.)

the ones that don't apply, now grumbling about disk space while trying

[FAmSCo] FAD @ 12th Free Software International Forum

Igor Pires Soares igorsoares at gmail.com
Sat May 7 14:36:26 UTC 2011

Since we were not able to have a meeting today it would be nice to have
some discussion on the mailing list on some pending issues.

One of things pending for approval is the FAD at the 12th Free Software
International Forum. We need to take a decision on that since the event
is getting closer.

I sent an email to the fudcon-planing mailing list earlier this week
with more details about the event and budget estimative.

Conceptually, they are not very different -- both (along with the other schema proposals SOX, DCD, and DDML) are trying to replace DTDs with an instance syntax. That is, they define an XML language that does the same thing as DTDs: defines elements, attributes, and so on.

For the most common operations -- defining elements and attributes and assigning data types (integer, date, etc.) to attributes and PCDATA-only elements -- both are technically very similar. For more exotic operations -- inheritance, reusing definitions from other schemas, etc. -- they differ in both scope and technique.  XML Schema offers more features than XML-Data Reduced (the part of XML-Data implemented by IE 5.0); it is not known how these will evolve in future drafts.

The most significant difference between the two is simply that XML-Data Reduced is implemented and XML Schema is not. However, many people seem to be waiting for XML Schema to become a recommendation before starting any schema work. When that happens, I suspect you will see a lot of software that uses schemas. I also suspect that XML-Data, as well as the other schema proposals, will largely fade away in favor of the standard.

Welcome to the Fishing Report from the Great Smoky Mountians.  The sun is shining and the temperature is 22 degrees in Townsend this morning.  This is going to be a beautiful day.  It is going to be cold.  The high is predicted to be 37 degrees.

Little River is getting more fishable from a water level perspective.  She is flowing at 440 cubic feet per second (cfs) or 2.43 feet on the flow gauge.  Median flow for this date based on 48 years of data is 281 cfs.  The water temperature at 8 am is 38 degrees.

So, the flow is lower in these streams but don’t be fooled.  2.43 feet on the gauge is fishable and we allow beginner students to wade at that level.  There is still plenty of flow and the water is cold.  Be careful.

Water temperatures below 40 degrees usually equate to slow fishing.  The trout will not be active for the most part.  You might find some hungry browns.  You might catch a rainbow or brook trout.  But, don’t expect great fishing.  That isn’t going to happen.

The outlook for cold water remains the same or worse over the next few days.  An influx of cold arctic air is pushing south.  We’ll see lows in the teens Tuesday night through Thursday night.  High temperatures will be in the 30’s later this week.

If you go fishing, be prepared with warm clothes, an extra change of clothes, nymphs and split shot to get them down.  Drag the bottom of the stream.  Get your fly in their face.

Today will be a good day to be here, at the shop.  We have some great entertainment and knowledge to share with you and it is free.  Just come by the shop.  Mike Bryant and Tim Ivey will be tying between 10 am and 2 pm.  All you have to do is show up.  Mike is President of the Little River Chapter of Trout Unlimited.  He is an expert fly tyer.  He will be showing you all the ways to use CDC for tying trout flies.

Tim is on his way right now from Georgia.  Tim is a professional fly tyer and demonstrator.  He likes making poppers and warmwater flies and he is good at it.  Fly fishermen enjoy and learn from watching and talking to Tim.

You may also register to win a $100 LRO gift card.  Registration begins at 10 am and we will draw the winner at 2 pm.  No purchase is necessary.  Just fill out the form and drop it in the wicker creel.

When I pulled out of the drive onto our private gravel road this morning, two wild turkeys were standing there right in front of my truck.  I pulled forward slowly and they finally moved out of my way.  Then I saw more, and more, and more, all standing in the road.  All total, I counted 37 turkeys.  I may have missed seeing some that moved into the forest.  They just walked far enough to avoid me and my truck.  Of course I drove slow so I wouldn’t run over them.

I have never seen that many turkeys hanging around our house at one time.  This must have been a good year for the broods.  I could tell, many of these birds were smaller and younger.

I don’t feed the turkeys.  I used to.  A biologist told me that feeding turkeys is a bad practice, especially if you sprinkle the corn in the same place every day.  Feces dropped near the food can cause diseases that could ultimately wipe out the entire flock. I stopped that practice years ago.  I think my neighbor still feeds them and the flock appeared to be heading to their house this morning.

When I was a kid, I would have given about anything to actually see and potentially shoot a wild turkey.  I never saw one and didn’t shoot one.  Things change.  Now, I could step out the front door of our house and shoot a wild turkey just about any time I wanted to.  I’ve never done that either.  I would rather watch these turkeys.

I do enjoy hunting wild turkeys in a truly wild setting.  I go on a turkey hunt every Spring.  Lately though, I opt to sleep in while my friends head out before daybreak, dressed head to toe in camo.  A couple of my other buddies do the same thing, stay in the cabin while the others hunt.

We get up eventually, take care of business and sometimes mix a pitcher of bloody marys.  To me, hunting is about being with friends, not killing an animal.  When they kill one, I’m just as excited as they are.

Fly fishing is different.  I really want to catch a fish.  If I don’t, that’s OK too.  I’m out there enjoying myself whether the fishing is excellent or slow.  Either way, I achieve my goal.  Fishing, like hunting is all about anticipation.  My fishing anticipation is still very strong.  My hunting anticipation has weakened over the years.

Have a great day, stay warm and thank you for being here with us.

The error handling on remove is totally irrelevant to merging this
driver. If you want to work on changing this in the core you're more
than welcome to spend your time on it, I'm really not sure it's really
worth the time or effort for the systems we currently have, if someone

Ballet Master Frederic Franklin Dies At 98

Originally posted on CBS New York:

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — The arts world this weekend was mourning Frederic Franklin, a British-born dancer who helped popularize the modern ballet in the United States and performed until he was 95.

Mr. Franklin – known as “Freddie” in the world of dance – was 98 when he died at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center Saturday of complications from pneumonia, according to his lifelong partner, William Ausman.

Mr. Franklin last appeared with the American Ballet Theatre at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts three years ago.

The company’s artistic director, Kevin McKenzie, says the amazingly energetic Franklin gave McKenzie his first job as a dancer. And McKenzie gave Mr. Franklin his last job — as a Friar Laurence in “Romeo and Juliet” at Lincoln Center.

McKenzie said the Liverpool, England native retained an amazing memory of the greatest 20th century dance moves, and choreographers including George Balanchine relied on…

Video: Dantonio wants better execution on offense

EAST LANSING - Mark Dantonio wants to improved execution from his quarterbacks coming off the first scrimmage of training camp.

"All of our quarterbacks, all three of those guys played okay. But they each made one critical error each that led to a touchdown. You can't do that. Otherwise, they played pretty well."

Michigan State's defense won the first scrimmage

Andrew Maxwell was 13-of-21 for 171 yards and one touchdown. Connor Cook was 13-of 18 for 133 yards with no touchdowns.

Cliff Diving – Day 2

No panic today, though stocks continue to sell down.  Maybe some are just panicking before others.

Geithner out on the tape, reported by CNBC,  saying tax rates have to be raised on the upper income.  Negotiating positions hardening?

Equities couldn’t hold early gains and flopped into the close as the S&P500 continues to submerge below the 200-day.

A former NYSE floor trader posted this comment on our blog today,

It may seem logical to go to gold as a safe harbor but liquidity needs are the reason why all correlations go to one in times of distress and that is why, I believe, gold will be down with the market should we slip over the Fiscal Cliff. Awesome blog.

Thanks for that!

What would a real fiscal cliff panic look like?

Stocks down hard;  Russell 2000 down harder;  consumer discretionary down hard;  gold up;  dollar down;  VIX spiking;  and defense stocks in the tank.

Bonds?   Tough to extract a clear signal with the Fed’s financial repression, but,  initially,  the cowboys would most likely be in buying on recession fears and increased worries about going over the cliff.

Cabal and GHC

Simon Peyton-Jones simonpj at
Thu Nov 22 10:33:32 CET 2012

| > Now, if Cabal can figure out a plan based on an empty database, it can
| deliver on that plan even in a non-empty database, without messing up
| any existing installations.
| This is an interesting invariant, weaker than the more obvious one:
| "Cabal should do the same plan no matter what the state of the database
| is" which is in tension with "don't install more than you have to."

Well I didn't say it should *ignore* the database. The current database might influence its plan.  For example if, after installing both yesod-platform and Fay, Cabal is asked to install a package P which depends on yesod-platform data-default 0.4-0.8, then Cabal could pick the already-installed version of yesod-platform depending on data-default 0.5, rather than installing yet another version depending on data-default-0.8.

So the invariant I suggest is
* If it'd work in an empty database, it should work in any non-empty one
* Installing X should never break the existing installation of Y

[protege-owl] How do you get the instance name into a multi-slot browser pattern.

Tania Tudorache tudorache at
Wed Oct 8 13:42:45 PDT 2008

Hi Thomas,

I have fixed this for the next beta release.

Unfortunately, I don't know the magic incantation for showing the name
in the multi-slot browser pattern in the Protege b506, but I can tell
you how to manually fix the pprj file, if this is urgent.

The Ballad of Desmond Kale (2006) – Roger McDONALD

So, this book had been staring at me from my shelf for a long time. It won the Miles Franklin Award in 2006, which usually guarantees a good read (or it certainly has lately), but I was put off by a comment by someone calling it ‘the best book about shep farming you’ll ever read’, or something to that effect. In essence, I thought it another long winded, historical novel set in colonial Australia, and I left it. Then, I picked it up to take overseas, and I’m really glad I did.

The first thing to note is that The Ballad of Desmond Kale is not about Desmond Kale at all. Not really, anyway. Despite the opening scene, featuring Desmond Kale escaping from prison (and the occasional chapter going back there) Instead, Roger McDonald introduces us to a whole cast of characters who are each somehow involved with Desmond Kale. In particular, we meet Parson Matthew Stanton, one of the best characters to come out of any book I have recently read. This man is the most pious, annoying person, and has made it his mission to hunt down Kale, who is rumoured to have a flock of perfect sheep under his control, yet alwys on the move. Stanton believes his flock of sheep are the best in the colony, yet his history with Kale means that he will stop at nothing to ensure Kale is caught and flogged. Again.

This, however, is but a small part of this massive novel. We meet the rest of Stanton’s family, as well as Kale’s daughter and grandson, who eventually ends up working for Stanton, as an apprentice shepherd, along with a young Aboriginal boy, Titus, who was ‘saved’ by Stanton’s wife, Dolly. We also meet Ugly Tom Rankine, a bent officer who is friends with the governor of the colony, and who has feelings for Kale’s daughter, Meg Inchcape. All of these characters and connections are fully rounded and well explored – McDonald gives each of them enough page time for you to pay attention, and when each string of the story comes round again, you are anxious to find out what is coming.

All of these characters play out acroos a huge canvas, that spans several yers in the colony’s history, as well as trecking across the world to play out in London. We watch children grow up, new players come into the story, charcters lose themselves in foreign islands, and fortunes change at the click of the fingers. People are backstabbed, betrayed, lied to, cheated by friends, and all that good stuff one would expect to find in this kind of novel. Roger McDonald does not disappoint. His languge is top notch, and the way he unfolds this massive, and sometimes complex story, is well done.

The Ballad of Desmond Kale is a worthy recepient of the Miles Franklin Award. Within its covers, you will find something to keep everyone happy – intrigue, mystery, romance, and a cracking good story. Roger McDonald has created a fantastic protrait of the New South Wales colony in its youth, and you really feel a part of the action. Oh, and yes, it certainly is the best book about sheep farming I have ever read.
