Today we visit Braeside House Bed and Breakfast in St Andrews, where James and Margaret share three of their best golf stories. I especially enjoyed their tale of how they managed to secure marshalling jobs at the 4th and 17th holes for the PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass.

Gao has been imprisoned in a remote area of western China. Now his wife speaks out about his situation. Chinese human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng's family and friends were shocked and relieved to finally hear news of his whereabouts on Sunday. Gao had been missing for 20 months. On December 16, state media announced Gao had been sentenced to three years in prison. On New Year's Day, Gao's brother, Gao Yi, received official notice that Gao was in the Xinjiang Shaya prison in a remote area of the Uygur Autonomous Region in western China. Gao Yi is very eager to visit his brother in prison, but he estimated it would take at least ten days to travel there. Gao's wife, Geng He was concerned when she heard the news. [Geng He, Gao Zhisheng's Wife]: "He is locked up in that place where there is no transportation. Also, the prisoners are all ethnic minorities. The CCP regime must also have ulterior motives, if it really imprisons Gao Zhisheng there. They want to put him in that isolated area and cut him off. Basically he is being exiled in a place where he could be gradually forgotten. So we all have to pay close attention to his plight. And it is not easy for his family to visit him." Human rights ...

Occupy Sympathizer Plays APEC Dinner

The more surprising aspect of this clip is not that someone who performs in front of these world leaders should openly sympathize with the Occupy movement, but that everyone was surprised he wasn't whisked away by security, as if that would be the appropriate or at least the usual response. Then we read further down and are told that few of those leaders were even listening and the irony becomes clearer.
In any event, expect Fox News and the usual suspects to have a field day with this tomorrow.
Brianna Keilar's blog report for CNN: >
HONOLULU, Hawaii (CNN) - As President Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and the heads of 18 other nations dined together Saturday night, they were unwittingly serenaded for almost 45 minutes by a musician playing a song about the Occupy Wall Street movement.
"We occupy the streets, we'll occupy the courts, we'll occupy the offices of you, till you do the bidding of the many, not the few," sang Matthew Swalinkavich, a well-known local guitarist who calls himself Makana, the Hawaiian word that means "the gift". Makana was invited by the White House to perform during the APEC leaders dinner.
Dressed in a suit, Makana at first played traditional Hawaiian-style music as leaders arrived at Honolulu's Hale Koa Hotel. He continued his performance during dinner, positioned next to the four tables where leaders and their spouses dined. Eventually he unbuttoned his shirt to reveal a t-shirt that said, in handwritten letters, "Occupy with Aloha," and began playing a song he recently wrote called "We Are the Many".
Video recorded on a cell phone by Makana's sound technician showed some leaders turning their attention toward him as he sang the song, but most appeared not to notice. "I started out very cautiously because my intention was not to disrupt their dinner. My intention was to subliminally convey a message that I felt was paramount to the negotiations," Makana told CNN. "Eventually I got enough courage to go into it for an extended period of time. And I ended my show with the line 'the bidding of the many not the few.' I sang it about fifty times in different ways for them to hear."
And here is a report by Yes Lab : >
Honolulu - A change in the programmed entertainment at last night's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) gala left a few world leaders slack-jawed, though most seemed not to notice that anything was amiss.
During the gala dinner, renowned Hawaiian guitarist Makana, who performed at the White House in 2009, opened his suit jacket to reveal a home-made “Occupy with Aloha” T-shirt. Then, instead of playing the expected instrumental background music, he spent almost 45 minutes repeatedly singing his protest ballad released earlier that day. The ballad, called “We Are the Many,” includes lines such as “The lobbyists at Washington do gnaw.... And until they are purged, we won't withdraw,” and ends with the refrain: “We'll occupy the streets, we'll occupy the courts, we'll occupy the offices of you, till you do the bidding of the many, not the few.”
Those who could hear Makana’s message included Presidents Barack Obama of the United States of America, Hu Jintao of China, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono of Indonesia, Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada, and over a dozen other heads of state.
"We Are the Many", lyrics and video below the fold.
We Are The Many
Ye come here, gather 'round the stage
The time has come for us to voice our rage
Against the ones who've trapped us in a cage
To steal from us the value of our wage
From underneath the vestiture of law
The lobbyists at Washington do gnaw
At liberty, the bureaucrats guffaw
And until they are purged, we won't withdraw
We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few
Our nation was built upon the right
Of every person to improve their plight
But laws of this Republic they rewrite
And now a few own everything in sight
They own it free of liability
They own, but they are not like you and me
Their influence dictates legality
And until they are stopped we are not free
We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few
You enforce your monopolies with guns
While sacrificing our daughters and sons
But certain things belong to everyone
Your thievery has left the people none
So take heed of our notice to redress
We have little to lose, we must confess
Your empty words do leave us unimpressed
A growing number join us in protest
We occupy the streets
We occupy the courts
We occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few
You can't divide us into sides
And from our gaze, you cannot hide
Denial serves to amplify
And our allegiance you can't buy
Our government is not for sale
The banks do not deserve a bail
We will not reward those who fail
We will not move till we prevail
We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few
We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few
We are the many
You are the few

Expensify blows away Workday for expenses (why does enterprise software suck so badly?)
UPDATE: I should have made it more clear that I'm speaking only for myself here, not as part of Rackspace's policy or official stance. Also, some of the issues I was noticing here might be due to Rackspace's VPN, we're working through those. Also, I hear there's a new version of Workday coming and I will reevaluate my post then. I hate doing expense reports. I thought it was just me. But, no, it's the tool I'm forced to use: Workday. But, no, it takes 15 times longer to do my expenses than when I did the same report in Expensify. Both are cloud computing-based services. But one sucks, and one doesn't. If you are evaluating enterprise software, please go with the usable solution. That's Expensify. From: Scobleizer Views: 2481 34 ratings Time: 07:15 More in Science & Technology

Koch Brand Found to Have Cain in It!
[LESS INFO] 10 VIEWS | ADDED 00:00:04 10/18/11
In June of this year, AlterNet quietly published an article about Herman Cain's deep ties to Americans for Prosperity . At the time, no one paid close attention because most people had no idea who Herman Cain was or why they should care. But now that Cain is the current frontrunner of the day in the Republican primaries, it's worth revisiting and re-examining Cain's close relationship to the Koch brothers and Americans for Prosperity.
From the AlterNet article: >
Not only is Cain a frequent speaker at AFP Foundation events, he was also, by his own account, tapped by [Mark] Block to be one of the faces of Prosperity 101 , a workplace seminar program, designed for employers to present to their employees at "voluntary" workplace gatherings where they are told that the legislative initiatives typically embraced by Democrats -- health-care reform, energy reform, higher taxes for the wealthiest Americans -- could so hurt their employers as to force layoffs. The program was set in motion during the lead-up to the 2010 elections. (AlterNet, working in collaboration with the Investigative Fund at the Nation Institute, published an expose on Prosperity 101 last week.)
Mark Block is Herman Cain's campaign manager now. And about Prosperity 101? Here's an excerpt from that expose published in June : >
The idea behind Prosperity 101 is simple: Employers gather employees for a "voluntary" seminar where nervous workers, already sweating in an economy that is shedding jobs, are told that government regulation, unions and tax increases -- even if only on the wealthy -- are bad for their employers, thereby threatening the workers' own livelihoods. Then they're reminded to vote -- for example, in last year's midterm elections. (The Prosperity 101 textbook includes a sample voter registration form from the State of Wisconsin.) And in the program textbook, employee participants are urged to join Americans for Prosperity, which has a history of alliances with GOP candidates.
In the textbook's introduction, Hansen, Prosperity 101's creator, plays on workers' fears of economic insecurity, stirred up by the lingering recession:
'You go to work every day, giving your best efforts in hopes of keeping your job through every economic cycle and every corporate downsizing…Will you be included in the next round of layoffs?… Do you know your job security is not just dependent on your performance?...Prosperity 101(TM) is designed to empower you, the employee, to go beyond your paradigms and look at job protection in a new way.'
It isn't just Herman Cain involved in Prosperity 101, either. The Wall Street Journal 's Stephen Moore and John Fund were also involved. >
In addition to workplace "education", Prosperity 101 is actively involved in voter registration drives in the workplace. From The Nation Institute :
" A key component of Prosperity 101 is working with employers to help them encourage voter registration among their employees, " Hansen, trim and stylish at 52, explained to the crowd. "So when Herman [Cain] first heard the concept here, he said, 'You've come up with the answer to ACORN!'"
Hansen then played the Prosperity 101 promotional video, which features Cain and the Journal's Stephen Moore.
Moore's segment confers a crucial air of legitimacy upon Prosperity 101 by virtue of his post at the world's premier financial newspaper, an affiliation that is highlighted both in the video and in the program's other promotional materials. "Washington is working against employers," Moore tells viewers. "It's working against people who are trying to create wealth and are trying to employ workers."
Each audience member received a copy of the program's textbook, a slender paperback that features material by Cain and Moore, among others.
Suddenly Herman Cain's "surge" begins to fall into place. The combination of workplace indoctrination and voter registration last year means many workers have a clear idea of who he is, as compared to others. At this point, he may be the single candidate with name recognition.
There's an even larger strategy at work here, coordinated with tea party groups and others who seek to drive a wedge into the African-American community and shave away some of Barack Obama's popularity. They do this by playing the "Cain would be the first 'REAL' black President" card. That initiative has begun and is spreading via conservative radio talkers and tea party groups, who see it as an opportunity to push back on the perception that they're racists.
Think Progress : >
That notion, however, spurred Ingraham to contemplate the GOP’s African-American presidential candidate Herman Cain. In comparing the “blackness” of the two African American politicians, Ingraham wondered whether Cain would actually be 'the first black president' because he doesn’t 'have a white mother, white father.' Therefore, isn’t he the real black candidate ?: >
INGRAHAM: And what happened with Obama is that he gets this job that he’s not qualified for… OK, so [Obama is] Constitutionally qualified for but he’s not really qualified for. And guess who pays the price? All of us. Because we had such a yearning for history. Well I have a question. Herman Cain, if he became president, he would be the first black president, when you measure it by — because he doesn’t — does he have a white mother, white father, grandparents, no, right? So Herman Cain, he could say that he’s — he’s — he’s the first, uh — he could make the claim to be the first — yeah, the first Main Street black Republican to be the president of the United States. Right? He’s historic too.
Listen to it here:
By the way, this really is an issue in the African-American community. Mixed race is another layer to the already-complicated race issue, which is why the Kochs hope it will effectively divide them.
As much as I'd like to shrug Herman Cain off as the newest Republican shiny thing, it's difficult to do when he enjoys the corporate backing of Rupert Murdoch, Charles Koch and David Koch. I expect they will throw as much mud and money as need be to get their guy in the front of the pack. T he Wall Street Journal is moving full-tilt boogie to attack the President on as many fronts as possible, including this ridiculous editorial published yesterday, which once again begins with the even more ridiculous premise that President Obama is a "loner." Ann Althouse joined the echo chamber with her own laudatory review of Cain's Meet the Press appearance yesterday, practically falling over herself in adoration of his heritage: >
Notice how simply and vividly he struck a chord — the classic black American experience — and made it resonate for anyone who works for living. There is a quality of nobility , that fits with the idea of heritage .
The bottom line here is that Charles and David Koch are patient men with a lot of money. Cynical patient men. They will stop at nothing to enrich themselves at the expense of every citizen in this country, including grooming and backing a completely unqualified candidate , extolling his heritage as being "authentic African-American," and positioning him as the guy with the awesome tax plan that will cripple the working poor in this country more than they already are, even as they clamor for it .
David Axelrod may think Cain isn't a top-tier candidate , but David and Charles Koch see that differently. As long as they have the money and resources to pour into his campaign, my suspicion is that he will continue to 'surge', at least until he implodes like the rest of them seem to do.
In the meantime, I expect we will be hearing and seeing a lot more of Herman Cain.

So You're the Mayor on Foursquare. Now What?
Complete video at: fora.tv Rajat Paharia, founder of Bunchball, cautions against believing that game mechanics will engage users indefinitely. Using Foursquare as an example, he commends the service's gamified design for attracting new users, but sees no lasting value for those who earn badges and points. ----- Community Rules: Using Gamification to Drive Publishing and Community Engagement What do Twitter, democracy and crowdsourcing have in common? The answer is you. Community has shown to be extremely powerful in driving engagement with traditional campaigns and entertainment outlets. Once the domain of fan made content and independent websites, media brands have begun to give notice to their supportive community through gamified campaigns and community management. In return, businesses have an invaluable source of opinion and information in order to shape their own products. Beat the GMAT, USA Networks, and Bunchball share insight in how to successfully manage and support a community. The Gamification Summit brings together top thought leaders in game mechanics and engagement science.

Email updates www.RonPaul.com 09/17/2011 Ron Paul's speech at the Lincoln Club Breakfast at the California Republican Party Conference at the Marriott Hotel, downtown Los Angeles, CA on Sept 17, 2011. Video by www.youtube.com Comments: I wish I had taken my tripod. Will definitely take it to the next event. There was so much excitement and people rushing towards the door to get a better photo of Ron as he came in the door that I got bumped which automatically turned the camcorder off, and I didn't notice it until he was a couple minutes into the speech. Darn! So what's not on the vid is the building energy in the air. Ron was the last speaker on the agenda and as he was late in getting in from the airport, they were stalling for time with other speakers. Needless to say, as time went on, we were getting a little anxious. Then we heard a rumbling sound in the distance and as it got louder and closer, we could hear the words, "Ron Paul! Ron Paul! Ron Paul!". People with cameras sprung to their feet and rushed towards to door. He came in the door and the room exploded! You will hear some people in the audience chanting "President Paul! President Paul!" Get used to hearing it, America! -- Ron Paul is America's leading voice for limited, constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, sound money, and a pro-America foreign policy.

Rock news to light your fuse. Hosted by Share Ross. Metallica/Lou Reed Lulu banned by London Underground; Pregnant Beyonce has interesting cravings; U2 documentary reveals rough period; REM split up and Sir Paul registers to get married at Marylebone Town Hall.
The London Underground have banned promo posters for Lou Reed and Metallica's forthcoming album, Lulu from being displayed in stations. A spokesperson claimed it looked too much like graffiti. Of course the Undergournds decision to ban it will help promote the release as nothing pushes an album to the top than censorship.
Pregnant Beyonce has been having some interesting cravings lately. She has reportedly been eating bananas dipped in tomato ketchup, Bounty ice creams smothered in hot chili sauce, oreo cookies with gherkins pickles and a slightly more normal croissants stuffed with melted dime bars for breakfast.
There's a new U2 documentary out, "from the sky down" that lays bare a tumultuous time for the band 20 years ago where there was infighting and creative differences. The group were pretty much saved by the song, "One" and there is a long section in the film where you actually hear them write the tune. Bono says in the doc, "Making Achtung baby is the reason we're here now.
After 30 years of making music together, REM have announced that they are breaking up.
Guns N Roses have confirmed more fall tour dates.
Zakk Wylde has been forced to file a restraining order against a 20 year old neighbor/obsessed fan who left a sacrifice outside his front door.
