Here's the book:
Scott A. Boorman, "The Protracted Game: A Wei-Chi Interpretation of Maoist Revolutionary Strategy""
And yes, the game is really complex, but then what would you expect when you have pieces of equal weight (value) played on a 19 x 19 grid. Computing power has probably caught up withthe games complexity now, but in the mid-eighties, when Chessmaster on a PC could at least teach near master-level chess strategy, the best that could be done with AI an go was basied on electronic potentail algorithms. (Assuming I correctly remember what a couple of mathematicians and engineers threw back and forth at the Berkeley Go Club.
Boston is nice if you like people who don't have big teeth and carefully done hair and who keep their distance. I like it. I also like the architecture and the size and the fact that it's possible to cope without a car.

And when historians trace how her inevitability dissolved, they will surely note this paradox: The first serious female candidate for president was rejected by voters drawn to the more feminine management style of her male rival.
The bullying and bellicosity of the Bush administration have left many Americans exhausted and yearning for a more nurturing and inclusive style.

Moot Court. Fuck.
I had to miss a Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band concert at the OLD gym at UVa in 1974 (The Wild the Innocent and the E St Shuffle tour) because of fucking moot court. Not University Hall... the dingy old funky thing where they had all the cool shows.
I think I bagged just about every baggable thing during law school but I couldn't figure out how to get around that one.
Had some judge from one of the administrative agencies. God I was pissed that night.
Still have never seen Springsteen... that would have been the time to do it.
Any single woman being a lobbyist will be suspected of going to bed with a politician, whether she has or not.
1) McCain has a reputation as being a hound dog.
2) She looks exactly like McCain's wife.
3) His campaign staff in 2000 was worried about an "inappropriate" relationship.
I'm not sure it was a statement about her character, but more that it's very believable that McCain is sleeping around. I don't draw from this that it's an "all women are sluts" kind of thing.

Echidne
Echidne,
I am not even sure where to begin with that statement. On one level you are absolutely correct and that is sad. On several other levels there is room for "negotiation."
If the lovely Miss Iseman were not quite so lovely, would those in charge of hiring lobbyist be sure that she be put in that position?
If she were not so comely, would Senators and CongressMEN be anxious to be seen in her company?
If she were merely competent, would that be enough to succeed?
If she were just comely and profession, is that even enough? Or must she also be "available? (And honestly, I have no idea of the answer)
These things are not simple and should not be treated as such. When I see a woman who looks like a model in a position of influence, I tend to ask questions.
When I see a horny old goat with loose morals (read senator or congressMAN) I also tend to ask questions.
It is a quandary.
Nudge is as good as a wink.
Today, McCain's lawyer says the campaign got its facts about the meeting wrong, but insists the underlying point remains the same.
"He didn't do anything improper," McCain attorney Bob Bennett said. "Members of Congress all the time make calls to nudge action. Where it gets to be improper is when you start to weigh in too heavily as to what the action should be."
This is probably the stuff he recorded for Jewel in the mid-1960s...
But I have an acquaintance who works for a lobbyist on our side and she says her work is made very difficult by the assumption that she'd trade sexual favors.

So long as legislatures are 99 percent male there are going to be corporations who see a benefit in dangling attractive females out as lobbyists. Maine's legislature has one of the better gender ratios for state legislatures. The Maine Legislature long ago ceased being an "old boys club."

Pooty Poot's Russia (NYT):
Putin’s Iron Grip on Russia Suffocates His Opponents
By CLIFFORD J. LEVY
NIZHNY NOVGOROD, Russia — Shortly before parliamentary elections in December, foremen fanned out across the sprawling GAZ vehicle factory here, pulling aside assembly-line workers and giving them an order: vote for President Vladimir V. Putin’s party or else. They were instructed to phone in after they left their polling places. Names would be tallied, defiance punished.
The city’s children, too, were pressed into service. At schools, teachers gave them pamphlets promoting “Putin’s Plan” and told them to lobby their parents. Some were threatened with bad grades if they failed to attend “Children’s Referendums” at polling places, a ploy to ensure that their parents would show up and vote for the ruling party.
Around the same time, volunteers for an opposition party here, the Union of Right Forces, received hundreds of calls at all hours, warning them to stop working for their candidates. Otherwise, you will be hurt, the callers said, along with the rest of your family.
Best classes I had were small, with problem sessions, so you knew how you were doing.
Constitutional law's entire, total grade, after two semesters and a lot of information, was a single four hour closed book exam.

Enzyte maker found guilty of fraud
Owner of Herbal Supplement Company found Guilty of Fraud
AP News Feb 22, 2008 20:45 EST
A federal court jury on Friday found the owner of a company that sells "male enhancement" tablets and other herbal supplements guilty of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, bank fraud and money laundering.
Steve Warshak, whose conviction was reported Friday by The Cincinnati Enquirer, is founder and president of Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, which distributes Enzyte and a number of products alleged to boost energy, manage weight, reduce memory loss and aid restful sleep.
Television ads for Enzyte feature "Smiling Bob," a goofy, grinning man whose life gets much better after he uses the product, which allegedly boosted his sexual performance.
Warshak, 40, could face more than 20 years in prison and his company could have to forfeit tens of millions of dollars.
Messages seeking comment from Warshak's Boston attorney Martin Weinberg and Assistant U.S. Attorney Anne Porter were left at their offices Friday night.
Prosecutors claimed customers were bilked out of $100 million through a series of deceptive ads, manipulated credit card transactions and the company's refusal to accept returns or cancel orders. They said unauthorized credit card charges generated thousands of complaints over unordered products.
Warshak's mother, Harriett Warshak, also was convicted of conspiracy, bank fraud and money laundering.
Now, think about this: this guy is in the make-your-dick-bigger-business with his mommy!
The government also alleged the defendants obstructed investigations by two federal agencies.
Some former employees, including relatives of Warshak, pleaded guilty to other charges and cooperated with prosecutors. They testified that the company created fictitious doctors to endorse the pills, fabricated a customer-satisfaction survey and made up numbers to back claims about Enzyte's effectiveness.

The company that sells Enzyte was convicted of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, bank fraud and money laundering.

.. and the central crime goes unremarked.
From Google:
The company that sells Enzyte was convicted of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, bank fraud and money laundering.
The news about this stuff doesn't come across very well, though. I found that my e-mail provider was convicted of fraud, for instance, but only from a book I was reading.
We finally watched La Vie en Rose. Really good. Did you know Edith Piaf was only 4'8"?

A "friend" told me the Horny Goat Weed really works.
Yeah, that's right, a "friend"....
It pays to be the candidate in a Democratic primary in Austin Texas who did NOT say this:
"I've known Joe Lieberman for more than 30 years. I have been pleased to support him in his campaign for reelection, and hope that he is our party's nominee," the former first lady said in a statement issued by aides.
There isn't a Democratic candidate in the Texas primary who didn't support Lieberman over Lamont in the primary. They both supported Lamont in the general.
I'll be back.

Strange...
"Yeah, but supposedly, we are SMARTER than that, right?"
Yeah, I used to think so. I wonder how much money is lost to scams now as compared to years ago.
I still remember sometime back a co-worker and friend that I thought was fairly wise asking about a Nigerian scam he received in email. I could tell he had hopes.

I lived in Wickford, Rhode Island from 1964 to 1986. The Newport Jazz Festival was, quite literally, just down the road a piece.

It would have been a waste of a better product on the emotion. A bite or two was already out of the burger and it was worth more than her singing.

Hello. Stupid question: Suddenly modules on my Google homepage aren't loading, pages like Facebook and youtube look really weird (mostly stacked blue links) and I cannot see a video with the current post, though it looks like there should be one. I tried reinstalling Flash and it didn't seem to work.
Anyone here have any idea WFT might be wrong? I hadn't changed anything, and I've rebooted 3x.

I had read every book in the Greek Mythology section of the Ames Free Library in Easton, Mass. by the time I was in 5th grade. I devoured it. I have never read the Bible but I loved Greek myths. I read the Iliad in 4th grade. Not sure why.

Echidne - you have mail
Roger Stone is a Republican campaign consultant and lobbyist in the United States frequently involved in scandal.
He is described, depending on the preferences of the describer, as a "veteran political strategist" or a "long-time dirty tricks operative". He does not dispute either description. He has admitted to committing dirty tricks as a young staffer in Richard Nixon's re-election campaign in 1972 and to helping bribe a New York political figure in the 1980 presidential election.
In 1990, The New York Times described him as a "renowned infighter" and during the 2004 United States Presidential Campaign, CBS News described Stone as a "veteran Republican strategist"

Mr. Neff,
Where is said poster?
David Oistrakh's Beethoven concerto was my favorite in college the year I was going out with a violinist. She got me into that one, and Dvorak's seventh symphony, and Brahms' wonderfulpiano quintet, and Bartok--nothing if not eclectic...good memories

Mixed. overworked at school but some good things with some students.
I won 2 pairs of tickets (good) to any event at one of about 5 theaters in the city but there's no auntie blodge to split them with (bad)
kids are cool, but my ex is acting crazy again.
all in all - I'm ok.
Don't know Wieniawski at all; I'll look it up; thanks

Hello all. I've been reading this blog since '03.
Can someone explain the hope/change thing to me?
Can someone explain why they believe any of the politicians running can change anything when they all seem to be bought and paid for by the same private interests?
All this hope talk sounds completely delusional to me.
Thanks.
