Pattern Energy to buy two wind power projects
Pattern Energy Group Inc. announced it has agreed to buy two wind power projects from its majority shareholder, Pattern Energy Group LP, for total cash consideration of $202.4 million
AuthorEditors of Electric Light & Power/ POWERGRID International
Pattern Energy Group Inc. announced it has agreed to buy two wind power projects from its majority shareholder, Pattern Energy Group LP, for total cash consideration of $202.4 million.
The purchase will add 214 MW (an increase of 21 percent) in net capacity when completed, increasing Pattern Energy’s portfolio to 1,255 MW. Acquisitions funded from available cash and credit facilities.
Grand Renewable is a 149-MW project in Haldimand County, Ontario, that is being built with 67 Siemens 2.3-MW wind turbines. Construction of the project began in September 2013 concurrently with the closing of a nonrecourse construction and term loan from a syndicate of leading project financing banks.
The project is scheduled to reach construction completion and commercial operation in the fourth quarter of 2014. The electricity from Grand Renewable is committed to the Ontario Power Authority (OPA), which has an AA-/Aa2 credit rating, under a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) that includes a predefined escalator. The Grand Renewable project has characteristics similar to Pattern Energy’s South Kent project but with a slightly higher PPA price and a slightly lower net capacity factor.
Grand Renewable is owned 45 percent by Pattern Energy, 45 percent by Samsung Renewable Energy Inc. and 10 percent by the Six Nations of the Grand River. Pattern Energy will be the operator for the project under a long-term agreement with the project partnership. Pattern Energy paid $79.5 million purchase price, which is subject to certain adjustments, for its 45 percent interest from its unrestricted available cash.
Panhandle 2, a 182 MW wind project, is being built in Carson County, Texas, and consists of 79 Siemens 2.3-MW wind turbines. Construction of Panhandle 2 began concurrently with the execution of Pattern Energy’s acquisition agreement and the execution of nonrecourse project construction financing with affiliates of Morgan Stanley.
Upon commissioning, some 80 percent of the expected output is contracted under a long-term energy price hedge, with an A-/Baa2 credit-rated affiliate of Morgan Stanley, with the balance paid at the Electric Reliability Council of Texas’ (ERCOT’s) spot market prices. The Panhandle 2 project has strong, consistent wind with an expected net capacity factor that is slightly higher than 50 percent.
Pattern Energy, together with three institutional tax equity investors, will acquire Panhandle 2 upon completion of construction, which is scheduled to occur in the fourth quarter of 2014. Pattern Energy is expected to hold an approximate 80 percent ownership interest and receive the majority of cash flow throughout the project’s life. There will be no long-term debt on the project. Pattern Energy will be the operator for the project under a long term agreement.
Pattern Energy will pay the $122.9 million cash purchase price, subject to certain adjustments, to Pattern Development upon certain conditions being met, including funding by the tax equity investors of their required equity contributions upon reaching commercial operation which will be used to repay the project’s construction loan financing. Pattern Energy expects to have sufficient available cash and credit facilities to fund the acquisition of its interest in Panhandle 2.
The Conflicts Committee of the board of directors of Pattern Energy, which is composed entirely of independent directors, approved the terms of the acquisitions. The committee was advised on financial matters by Evercore Group LLC, which also provided fairness opinions, and on legal matters by Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP.

Ameren's largest transmission project approved by Illinois Commerce Commission
An order issued Tuesday by the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) paves the way for major new investment by Ameren that will create jobs, enable the delivery of renewable energy and improve the reliability and efficiency of the electric power grid.
Ameren Transmission Company of Illinois (ATXI), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ameren Corporation (NYSE: AEE), has received approval from the ICC to build the majority of its nearly 400-mile, approximately $1.1 billion Illinois Rivers transmission project. The project consists of a new 345kV transmission line crossing the Mississippi River near Quincy, Ill., and continuing east across Illinois to the Indiana border. This is the largest transmission project in the corporation's history and the largest single investment by the corporation since the early 1980s.
Right-of-way acquisitions for the approved portions of the project are expected to begin immediately with a full range of construction activities in 2014, providing a significant boost to the Illinois economy over the next five years.
"We are pleased with the ICC's decision confirming that the Illinois Rivers project is necessary and the best approach to addressing the reliability needs of customers and ensuring the development of an efficient electricity market. This project will help fuel the Illinois economy and provide customers access to a variety of energy sources, including wind energy," said Maureen A. Borkowski, president and CEO of ATXI.
The ICC agreed with and supported the need for this new line and granted a certificate of public convenience and necessity for seven of nine proposed segments on the route and three of nine proposed bulk substations. ATXI is moving forward on the approved portions of the project. The ICC noted the remaining two segments were not approved due to lack of time and evidence to determine the most cost-effective route. ATXI plans to request a rehearing to determine the appropriate routing of the two segments and the location and need for the substations that were not approved.
The project previously received approvals from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, Inc. (MISO), a regional transmission organization serving an 11-state region and the Canadian province of Manitoba.
Ameren Transmission Company of Illinois is a subsidiary of Ameren Corporation dedicated to electric transmission infrastructure investment, expanding Ameren's already robust transmission system of more than 7,400 circuit miles of high-voltage transmission lines in Illinois and Missouri.

$163 billion in transmission under construction in North America
For 2014, there are $25.6 billion on the books
AuthorCarl Dombek
An estimated $163 billion worth of transmission investment is underway in the U.S. and Canada, with $13.5 billion in 2013 alone, according to TransmissionHub data.
For 2014, there are “$25.6 billion on the books,” Kent Knutson director of Hub Services for PennWell, added during the December 3 TransmissionHub Quarterly Market Update webcast.
Some of those projects remain in permitting and planning stages, he said, adding that most of the construction involves 345-kV and 500-kV DC and AC lines. Most of the construction is set to occur in the West, including in the WECC region, and in Canada’s Alberta and British Columbia, as well as in the Northeast.
Despite low electric load growth forecast for the next several years, transmission development is being driven by the need to upgrade aging infrastructure, reliability concerns, plant retirements and the need to meet renewable portfolio standards in several states across the U.S., Knutson said.
FirstEnergy, for instance, recently announced that it plans to invest an additional $2.8bn over four years to expand its “Energizing the Future” transmission initiative.
The main focus of the initial construction effort will be the 69-kV transmission power lines and substations in the Ohio Edison, Cleveland Electric Illuminating, Toledo Edison and Penn Power areas, the company said on November 12.
As part of the program, about 7,200 circuit miles of 69-kV and higher transmission lines will be evaluated and rebuilt, as needed, FirstEnergy added. Also, more than 170 substations will be inspected and upgraded, along with 70,000 transmission structures that will be evaluated and rebuilt, as needed.
Natural gas growth is also affecting transmission development, Knutson said, noting that while natural gas had been a volatile fuel for decades, it has come down to prices seen between 1990 and 2000, or in the $3 to $4 range. He added that natural gas “is forecast to only reach about $4 by 2020,” and the reason the forecast is becoming more predictable and less volatile has to do with the shale gas boom.
Another driver for transmission development involves renewable energy and state renewable portfolio standards, Knutson said.
Noting the extension of the production tax credit last year, he said that “a lot of wind energy projects that were on hold came back into play,” but the amount of completed wind energy projects is still going to be significantly lower than in the past.
On solar power, Knutson said there are a lot of large-scale solar energy projects that are either under construction or in planning stages. In 2012, 1,502 MW of solar power came online and about 5,000 MW are expected this year.
Coal and nuclear plant retirements are also driving transmission efforts, he said, noting that just in 2012 and 2013, more than 10,000 MW per year have retired. “That’s going to have a significant effect on the market and transmission will be an important part of that,” he said.
The 2012 output from the coal plants that are scheduled to be taken offline represented about 245 million MWh, or 16 percent of all coal generation in the country, he said.
U.S./Canada projects completed and operating in 2013, include the:
· 111-mile, 500-kV, estimated $860 million Devers to Colorado River project by Southern California Edison (SCE)
· 8-mile, 345-kV undersea, estimated $850 million Hudson Transmission Project by Hudson Transmission Partners
· 39-mile, 345-kV, estimated $675 million Greater Springfield Reliability Project by Northeast Utilities
· 192-mile, 345-kV, estimated $411 million West Shackelford to Navarro-Sam Switch project by Lone Star Transmission
During the webcast, Carl Dombek, senior editor for TransmissionHub, highlighted several projects, including San Diego Gas & Electric’s (SDG&E) Sunrise Powerlink, which according to TransmissionHub data, is a 117-mile, 500-kV line designed to carry renewable energy from El Centro to San Diego, Calif. The project includes a 6.2-mile, 230-kV segment and a new 500-kV substation.
Dombek noted that the project was completed slightly ahead of schedule and slightly under its $1.9 billion budget, despite a number of issues, including having to “be very mindful of [the] proximity to the nesting zones [of bald and golden eagles], which caused [the company] to have to adjust [its] construction schedule.”
Additionally, incidents involving equipment falling from a helicopter and rotor strikes during construction caused grounding of the helicopters for a period of time.
He also referenced California’s Tehachapi Renewable Transmission Project, which according to TransmissionHub, involves 250 miles of a combination of 500-kV and 220-kV lines and upgrades. It involves the development of three new substations and lines running from Pardee in the west, to Highwind in the north and on to Mira Loma in the southwest.
Dombek noted that the project is intended to bring renewable energy from the Tehachapi Mountains into the load pocket of the Los Angeles area.
California state regulators approved the project in 2009, including a stretch of 3.5 miles of line that went through an existing SCE-owned right-of-way through the city of Chino Hills, Calif.
Chino Hills citizens and the city itself, which has the sixth highest per capita income in the U.S., mounted “a fairly extensive legal fight once [SCE] put the first towers up along that right of way,” Dombek noted, adding that ultimately, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) ordered that that portion of the project be placed underground.
SCE and CPUC remain in discussions over the kind of equipment that will be necessary to underground that portion, he said, adding, “[U]ntil that can get ironed out, [SCE] can only proceed in a limited fashion with things like property acquisition, ordering long lead time components and such."
SCE has warned several times that undergrounding that portion of the project will probably delay the project past its projected in-service date, Dombek said, noting that those segments of the project will enter service in a staggered fashion so it will not delay the entire portion.
Another project highlighted during the webcast is the Gateway West project, which according to TransmissionHub, is being proposed jointly by Rocky Mountain Power and Idaho Power.
The project will stretch nearly 1,000 miles from the Windstar substation near Glenrock, Wyo., to the Hemingway substation near Melba, Idaho. The project will involve about 200 miles of 230-kV lines in Wyoming and another 800 miles of 500-kV lines in Wyoming and Idaho.
Dombek noted that a record of decision was recently issued for the project and it was unique in that it approved eight of the 10 segments of the line with the direction that the developers look at the alignment of two of the segments that basically parallel a river and goes through a culturally important site.
“It’s unique in that it was approved in segments, but the line itself is unique in that the segments that were approved can be constructed and can be energized – and will bring value – even without those two segments [if] in the worst case scenario they were not approved at all,” he said.
The developers are confident that the remaining segments will get approval in a way that will satisfy most of the concerned stakeholders, he said.
He also referenced the Cascade Crossing project, which was, according to TransmissionHub, a proposed 120-mile, 500-kV line that would have originated at Boardman and ended at Salem in Oregon, but the project was canceled last June.
The 2008 economic recession played a role in the project’s cancellation, Dombek said, noting that it caused the developers, including Portland General Electric, to revise the project. While demand for power eventually grew, it did not do so as quickly as expected. Also, the Bonneville Power Administration was able to identify additional capacity in its system, further reducing the need for the project.
Lone Star Transmission's parent company is NextEra Energy. SDG&E is a unit of Sempra Energy. SCE is a unit of Edison International. Rocky Mountain Power is a division of PacifiCorp, which is owned by MidAmerican Energy Holdings. Idaho Power is a unit of IDACORP. Hudson Transmission Partners is an affiliate of PowerBridge.

UFO: Military-like Jets Pursue Flying Entity over Ontario
EDITED BY RAYMOND
An ex-Canadian Military Recon Paratrooper have reported sighting a UFO being chased by military jets over Grafton, Ontario on 9 March, 2013 at 12:00 AM.
This report has been obtained from a testimony included in the database of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).
The witness begins the report by describing the location and time of the sighting.
“I was on Lake Ontario south of the Village of Grafton on the shoreline. At 10:30pm EST.”
The witness then describes the number of objects that he saw. He also talks about their direction, altitude, shape and position.
“I noticed 3 lights over the Lake due west about 5-8 miles out in a line formation but at different levels. The light on the left was the lowest then the middle light was higher and the far right was the highest. They seem to form at perfect line.”
The witness further describes his connection with the military and talks about his interest in aircrafts and flying.
He also analyzes the lights emitted by these objects and based on that he concludes that they were not aircrafts.
“I’m an ex Canadian Military Recon Paratrooper and I try to learn everything I can about aircraft and flying. So at first what I saw almost looked like para-flares dropped from an aircraft.
At this point I noticed that the lights were not descending at all. I also noticed that the lights were changing colors from blue to blue-green to red to turquoise. I know para-flares are orange”
He then talks about the duration for which he was able to view them. He also talks about fast changes in altitude and direction of those objects, during that time.
“I continued to watch them for about 3-5 minutes. Then I noticed the far left light increased it altitude about 1000- 2500(10 degrees) feet within a matter of 2 seconds.
"At the same time the far right descended altitude about 500-1000(5 degrees) feet. The center light did not move it during this.”
The witness then tells us how the lights remained in the same formation for a while and then disappeared. “So now the lights still are just as bright but the far left is the highest and center and far right are at the same level. The light stayed at this formation for about another 8-10 minutes then disappeared. It’s not like the lights burned out.”
The witness further talks about the speed at which they disappeared. He also talks about the appearance of fighter jets.
“When I lost sight of them it was like they were moving away at a high rate of speed. About 45-60 minutes later around 11:00pm EST, I heard fighter jets.”
The witness tells us about what he was doing when he saw the jets and also talks about their direction and altitude.
“I was still outside and looked again to the west and saw 2 fighter jets around the same altitude in full after burner flying CAP (Combat Air Patrol).”
He also provides us with a description of the military jets and tells us that they were probably Canadian F/A-18 fighters.
“The after burners came and when. The aircraft had no navigation, landing or strobe lights. A few times I have seen the Green formation combat light during one of their turns. The Military Fighter Jets had twin engines that I could see while they were in afterburner power. I assume they were Canadian F/A-18 fighters.”
The witness further describes why the appearance of fighter jets puzzled him.
“The only issue is that I am about 50km from Canadian Forces Air Force Base Trenton. This base does not have fighters stationed there. It’s an air lift wing using C-17s,C-130s,Airbus A319s and twin engine hueys for the search and rescue. The closest Canadian Air Base that has fighter aircraft is about 500km away.”
The witness then tells us about the duration for which the fighter jets remained at that location and describes how they disappeared. He also tells us how the public relations denied the presence of military aircrafts in that region, when contacted.
“The Fighter aircraft stayed in that area only for about 10 minutes then climbed to a higher altitude and headed due west. I contacted the Public Relations Office at CFB Trenton and asked about military aircraft flying in that area.
He reported that no military aircraft were flying that night over the lake. Only military aircraft was a C-130 about 80 miles north of me around 8 pm EST.”
The witness finally tells us how he is certain that the objects that he saw initially were not aircrafts.
“I know what I saw was not an aircraft of any sort. I have been around a lot of civilian and military aircraft my whole life so I can say I know what I am looking at was not aircraft.”
The above quotes were edited for clarity.
MUFON requests the readers to keep in mind that many reports of UFO sightings can be explained scientifically as natural phenomenon.

Voyager 1 Enters Unknown Region Beyond the Solar System
ABC.ES ABC_CIENCIA / MADRID
The probe Voyager 1, launched into space by NASA for 35 years, appears to have finally crossed the frontier of the solar system and is moved by an unknown region leading to interstellar space, according to a new study released by the American Union Geophysics and will be published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
Thus, the ship would have left the heliosphere, the bubble of charged particles emitted by the sun in all directions and envelops our solar system to enter a new field that has never before seen a human artifact.
On August 25, 2012, Voyager 1 saw drastic changes in radiation levels to about 18,000 million miles from the sun trapped cosmic rays in the outer heliosphere and almost disappeared, while the galactic cosmic ray radiation - cosmic coming from outside the solar system, soared to levels not seen since the launch of the Voyager. "In just a few days, the intensity of the radiation trapped in the heliosphere decreased, and the cosmic ray intensity rose as expected if you leave the heliosphere," says Bill Webber, professor of astronomy at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces.
In the article, the authors state that the Voyager 1 seems to have left the main region dominated by the Sun, revealing hydrogen and helium, a characteristic spectrum of what can be expected in the interstellar medium.
However, Webber says, scientists are still debating whether Voyager 1 has reached interstellar space or into a separate region beyond the solar system.
"It's out of the heliosphere normal, I would say that," said Webber to mediate the dispute. "We are in a new region. And all you're measuring is different and exciting."
The Voyager 1 and its twin, the Voyager 2 , were launched 35 years ago from Cape Canaveral with a mission to explore the solar system. The 2 is about 15,000 million km from the Sun between the two have explored the giant planets in our system: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, and 48 of its satellites.
Their batteries are designed to run until 2025.

Bo Jiang, Former NASA Contractor, Arrested By FBI On Plane To China
NORFOLK, Va. -- A Chinese national who worked at NASA's Langley Research Center has been arrested on a plane bound for Beijing on charges of lying to federal agents.
Bo Jiang made his initial appearance Monday in Norfolk federal court. It wasn't immediately clear whether Jiang had an attorney.
U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf says Jiang wasn't employed by NASA, but worked at the Hampton, Va. facility for the National Institute of Aerospace.
An affidavit says Jiang was under investigation for possible violations of the Arms Control Export Act.
The affidavit says Jiang was arrested aboard a plane at Dulles International Airport on Saturday when he failed to disclose all of the electronics he was taking with him.
The affidavit says Jiang had previously taken a NASA laptop to China that contained sensitive information.

1966 - Close Encounter on a Dark Road in South Dakota
South Dakota - 1966
I have seen so many TV shows and read so much about different UFO sightings and 99% of the time, it is a light miles away, or something so vague, nobody would have a clue what it was.
The sighting we had was a long time ago, so you are probably not interested anymore, but I remember it like it was yesterday.
I was in 7th grade. My friend was spending the night at our farm and we, along with my parents were on our way to a small town about 7 miles from us.
We were 1/2 mile north of our farm, going north, when we noticed a very bright light to the east/southeast of us, probably a 1/2 - 1 mile away.
It appeared to be very close to the ground and either hovering or moving very slowly. My Dad said it had to be a helicopter and possibly a game warden or similar.
About another 1/2 mile to the north was my uncle's farm and there was a big hill that the road cut through. We went in an approach into a field where we could get up to the top of the hill.
We watched the object, still distant slowly moving to the northwest. We watched it for 2-3 minutes, and then the bright light went out and we couldn't see it anymore.
We watched for a couple more minutes, seeing nothing and then it appeared again northeast of us, still heading northwest.

1955 - US Senators See Flying Saucers In Soviet Russia
One of the most powerful U.S. senators in modern history actually eye-witnessed two UFOs while on a fact-finding trip through Russia in 1955, and the U.S. government kept the sightings a secret for more than three decades.
The incredible encounter is detailed in 12 TOP SECRET CIA, FBI, and Air Force reports-and declassified in 1985. Those startling reports reveal that Senator Richard B. Russell, Jr. (D-GA), then chairman of the Armed Services Committee-was on a Soviet train when he spotted a disc-shaped craft taking off near the tracks.
He hurriedly called his military aide and interpreter to the window and they saw the UFO, plus another one that appeared a minute later. The astonished trio reported the sightings to the U.S. Air Force as soon as they were out of Russia.
"The three observers were firmly convinced that they saw a genuine flying disc," says an Air Force Intelligence report, dated October 14, 1955, and classified TOP SECRET at the time.
Senator Russell served 38 years in the Senate. He was its senior, and one of the most influential senators at the time of his death in 1971. He was chairman of the Armed Services Committee from 1951 to 1969, and unsuccessfully sought the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1952.
The mind-boggling documents detailing his UFO encounter were made available by the Fund for UFO Research and its chaiman, Dr. Bruce Maccabee. Several key documents were obtained by the group through the Freedom of Information Act.
"These long secret documents are of major importance because they show for the first time that one of the most powerful U.S. Senators witnessed and reported a UFO," said Dr. Maccabee.
The Air Force Intelligence report says Russell and his two traveling companions spotted the UFOs on October 4, 1955, while traveling by rail across Russia's Transcaucasus region.
"One disc ascended almost vertically, at a relatively slow speed, with its outer surface revolving slowly to the right, to an altitude of about 6000 feet, where its speed then increased sharply as it headed north," the report states.
"The second flying disc was seen performing the same actions about one minute later. The take-off area was about 1-2 miles south of the rail line.
" Russell "saw the first flying disc ascend and pass over the train," and went "rushing in to get Mr Efron (Ruben Efron, his interpreter) and Col. Hathaway (Col. E. U. Hathaway, his aide) to see it," the report said.
"Col. Hathaway stated that he got to the window with the Senator in time to see the first (UFO), while Mr. Efron said that he got only a short glimpse of the first. However, all three saw the second disc and all agreed that they saw the same round, disc-shaped craftas the first."
The Air Force report was written by Lieut. Col. Thomas Ryan, who interviewed Senator Russell's companions in Prague, Czechoslovakia, on October 13, after they arrived there from Russia shortly after the sighting.
In his report, Col. Ryan called the sightings "an eyewitness account of the ascent and flight of an unconventional craft by three highly reliable United States observers. He added that Col. Hathaway led off his account of the sightings by saying: "I doubt if your going to believe this, but we all saw it." Senator Russell was the first to see this flying disc we've been told for years that there isn't such a thing, but all of us saw it."
CIA documents show that the agency later interviewed the three eyewitnesses in the Russell party and also a fourth person, unidentified in the reports, who had seen the UFOs. An eyewitness, whose name was blacked out on the CIA report prior to its declassification, said one of the UFOs "had a slight dome on top" and also a "white light on top." The edge of the disc was glowing pinkish-white, he added. The UFO rose "vertically with the glow moving slowly around the perimeter in a clockwise direction, giving the appearance of a pinwheel."
Interpreter Ruben Efron told the CIA that visibility was excellent. As one UFO approached the train, he said, "the object gave the impression of gliding. No noise was heard and no exhaust was heard, and no exhaust glow or trail was seen by me."
After the encounter, Senator Russell told the men with him: "We saw a flying disc. I wanted you boys to see it so that I would have witnesses," according to the CIA documents."
And an FBI memo, dated November 4, 1955, also discusses the sighting and admitted Col. Hathaway's testimony "would support existence of a flying disc."
Dr. Maccabee, of the Fund for UFO Research, believes that Senator Russell and his group never publicly revealed their incredible sightings "because they were no doubt advised not to talk. These documents provide startling new evidence that UFOs exist."
Mr. Tom Towers, in his January 20, 1957, column, 'Aviation News,' for the Los Angeles, CA, Examiner, printed the contents of a letter from Senator Russell, which was in response to a request for information about the sightings in Russia.
Mr. Towers had originally contacted Senator Russell's office by letter with the request that he be given permission to "break" the story.
The Senator wrote: "Permit me to acknowledge your letters relative to reports that have come to you regarding aerial objects seen in Europe last year. I received your letter, but I have discussed this matter with the affected agencies of the government, and they are of the opinion that it is not wise to publicize this matter at this time. I regret very much that I am unable to be of assistance to you." The letter was dated 17 January, 1956.

United Nations Treaty Series
Treaty Series 2794
The United Nations Treaty Series (UNTS) is the result of article 102 of the Charter of the United Nations, which states as follows: 1. Every treaty and every international agreement entered into by any Member of the United Nations after the present Charter comes into force shall as soon as possible be registered with the Secretariat and published by it. 2. No party to any such treaty or international agreement which has not been registered in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article may invoke that treaty or agreement before any organ of the United Nations. On December 16, 1946, the United Nations General Assembly passed resolution 97, which laid the rules for the registration of international agreements by the UN Secretariat. The UNTS is by far the largest collection of treaties, running to some 2500 volumes containing 158,000 treaties from 1946. Its predecessor was the League of Nations Treaty Series (LNTS).

Evangelicals Don Full Body Armor to Defend the American Theology
Friday night, Greta van Sustern at Fox News interviewed Jerry Falwell Jr and asked hin to explain why so many evangelicals have chosen Donald Trump over Ted Cruz in the GOP race for president. Just 2;38 minutes, listen to Falwell’s explanation, for it’s explosive…not about Trump, but about the return of evangelicals to the defense of the American theology instead of their own nests.
This is not about Donald Trump, but still serves as a reminder that almost all stories about Donald Trump are not realty about Donald Trump, but about something else. This shift in the way evangelicals will look at national politics going forward is seismic for both the Left and the GOP establishment, and in the broader history of our times will stand out greater than Chris Christie throwing his weight behind Trump. For it means that another “American Awakening” is beginning, and once again evangelical Christians are willing to shake hands with people they had separated themselves from the past thirty-some odd years, morally, politically and even culturally…people who sometimes use language stronger than “shucky-dern”, play the slots, and drink something harder than cider, people whose councils evangelicals have refused to join since Reagan. Donald Trump is a shining example of heat-of-the-moment language abuse (me, another), yet Falwell looks over this. He also represents a lot of those evangelicals, and has indicated a willingness to suit up and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with men and women who openly speak of opening up a can of whoop-ass against a common enemy.
This is huge, America.
The last few seconds of Falwell’s comments are the most earth-shattering:
“Save the country first, maybe next time we can look at abortion, gay rights, etc. But save the county first.” (my paraphrase)
They haven’t been talking this way for many, many years, and because they haven’t they had been cordoned off and dealt with by the national media and the political parties as targets as identifiable, uncompromising and increasingly mockable as Hasidic Jews at the Temple Mount.
But now in the uniform of defending America instead of a separate interest group (another political creation of the Left and the Media) they stand indistinguishable except as Americans.
How magnificent is that?.
About America’s Capacity for Periodic Awakenings
Why this alliance thrills me is that it proves America has not (yet) lost its way, that we still know the original roadmap. In my copy of Larry Schweikart and Mike Allen’s “Patriot’s History of the United States”, which is almost as dog-eared as my Jerusaem Bible, the authors mention two “Great American Awakenings” as being significant events in defining the American character. The first was in the early 1700s, with the advent of the Baptists and Methodists, both missionary movements, both building the bulk of their congregations by missionizing other churches and the multitudes of “don’t-give-a-damn’s” found on America’s frontiers, where there was only “some talk of building a church” (Mark Twain, c1868). The second began in the 1820s-30s, and was similarly disposed to redirect wayward populations from straying too far from their religious roots.
Both represented a kind of free market in religion, so that no single class of churches could become staid and orthodox and monolithic as had befallen the imported European churches, such as the Church of England.
But it seems God, not so much individual denominations, is in the American DNA, which is why I have referred to an “American theology”, and have mentioned these parallels in prior essays. When we come to certain crossroads, especially in times of war, we turn back to our religious underpinnings. You may not know this, but the rest of the world does not operate according to this principle, and probably was never wired properly from the beginning (which is what my book, “Devil’s History of the United States” is all about…a parable of the parallels between a nation under God and those managed by the “political head of the rest of the world”.)
So, in my view America has had other “awakenings”, at fairly regular intervals, beginning with the Civil War, then generationally, every 30-40 years or so, every time the reserve of our national character was tested. Unlike the Europeans, who, after a half-century of catastrophic wars of their own design, seemed to dismiss God instead of turn back to Him, when American men went to war our citizens drew closer to their churches and to each other. (If you want to connect this to socialism, feel free, for godlessness is one its founding planks.) World War I produced a preacher named Blly Sunday (from Chicago and not Hogspit, Georgia as some detractors would allow) and a revivalist movement that drove H L Mencken into paroxysm of vitriol. Then there was World War II with even greater carnage and loss, then finally the 1980s, when the tag “evangelicals” first began to creep into the nationsl lexicon, alongside the Moral Majority, including Rev Jerry Falwell, Sr.
Only this “awakening” of the 80s was notable for it was more of a retreat from the world than a restatement of America’s (plural) relationship with God. Whether the Moral Majority created this awakening or was created by it (I lean toward the letter) as a political movement this didn’t fare too well, and my admiration for Rev Falwell began only when he quit politics and returned to preaching, in essence saying he had been pursuing “a lower calling”. Only a deep man can do that.
But in those days, I didn’t follow the inside-baseball of the political separation between the Christian Right and the GOP. I was about the same age as the girls over at RedState and NRO so believed I knew a lot more than I actually did. What I did follow was the culture of this evangelistic closing of ranks up close, as I taught several courses at a small Baptist college in central Kentucky. That was where I had my “shucky-dern moment”, when during a lecture about the boat people from Vietnam I let loose the word “crap”, which George Carlin once said was one of the seven words you couldn’t say on television yet is the most popular game in Vegas. A female student came up after class and asked me if I would not use that word again. For the 1980s, I was shell-shocked, but said “Of course.” But she didn’t stop there, reporting me to school officials, who called me on the carpet. For those of you who have seen the Ingrid Bergman version of Joan of Arc’s trial by a Church tribunal in France, the dour mugs on those inquisitors was nothing compared to the solemnity of that high-haired Baptist administrator in his plaid sport coat and yellow striped tie. He didn’t read me the riot act, but rather the pious act. which if your father ever sat you down and gave you a stern lecture about right and wrong instead of stropping you with his belt, you’d rather have the belt every time. Ask my son.
The awakening of the 1980s was a period when what we now call evangelicals, including Pentecostals and non-denominational churches, turned inward, leaving the ways of the world to its own devices. It was a retreat, under the theory that they would be the ones the alligator eats last.
This is a condition I have been trying to reverse since the days of the Clintons. And since Obama, when the name of the Game became more clear, I spent a lot of time urging patriotic non-religionists, even RINO’s who purported to still be pro-American, to sit down and extend the hand of fellowship to what they believed were one-issue moralists to find common ground. Sadly, as Obama’s grip tightened, into the 2012 cycle, I came to learn from some really fine Giuliani-style pro-choice conservatives that many evangelicals would no more than sit down with them before standing right back up and storming out because these patriots had failed some religious litmus test. I wish I had been there.
This is why the Falwell endorsement is such an historic, seismic change…and he was actually able to outline it so very well in just a few short seconds. They can finally see the handwriting on the wall, things I could have told them in 1996, or 2006, 2008 onward, but they had to find out themselves. The Left’s plan for Christians and other species of faith is now clear. Marx said as much in the 1840s, still, we had to hear it from the horses’ mouths, or, in this case, his other end. There was the rise of the “new-atheism”, a youth movement really, having little to do with religion and everything to do with politics…and hate. It began around 2004, its purpose to eradicate religion. You may not know of this bunch, but on campus close to 40% now claim socialism their “religion” , also proving the decline of competitive religious education in the home and public schools.
In a matter of a few short years, this new atheism has allied itself with the LGBT movement and the abortion crackers who defend cutting babies up and selling them for body parts as if they were butcher shop products. They are everywhere on social media and are indistinguishable.
The Christian right, having largely removed itself from this world, with the availability of alternative means of education, may have dodged this bullet, but in the days since Obama, and the rise of social media, it’s been made clear that their original retreat in the 80s could not save them. Falwell has lit their way back to the American light.
With a portion of Republicans ready to surrender just to avoid what will befall the Christians, and another sizeable slice actually wanting to get in on the action, evangelicals are wise to look for patriots rather than only just one type of patriot. And there are a lot of us. We are a sizeable bunch
Does Jerry Falwell Jr have a private agenda as his father was accused of having in 1980? Maybe, time will tell. But in his comments he said “saving America” is Cause One, the rest can wait until the Enemy (as C S Lewis used to call him) is defeated. Since that has always been Cause One with me, that sounds like a plan, a plan straight out the American theology playbook as writ in 1787.
Every patriot should be proud to see that we are once again all wearing the same uniforms and the same armor of the Creator of this republic.

I think you’re right. I think it’s – dare I say it? – Yuuuge. I can only imagine the wheels turning in all the players’ heads about the possibilities going forward. That the ones you speak of today are secure enough in and sure enough of their faith to be able to say we have to concentrate on the task before us, might be an example to others in a position to be of more “material” help in the fight.

Ubisoft Makes Assassin’s Creed: Unity Free, Donates €500,000 To Notre Dame
By : Ewan Moore On : 18 Apr 2019 09:22
Ubisoft has offered its support in the wake of the partial destruction of the iconic Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, in which a fire caused the roof and spire of the 800 year old building to collapse.
From now until April 25, you’ll be able to download and play Assassin’s Creed: Unity for free on PC. Unity is notable for letting players explore a gorgeous digital version of late 18th century Paris, complete with a painstakingly detailed recreation of Notre Dame itself.
Ubisoft said in a statement:
Ubisoft wants to give all gamers the chance to experience the majesty and beauty of the cathedral. You can download Assassin’s Creed Unity on PC for free here, and you’ll own it forever in your Uplay games library.
Assassin’s Creed: Unity artist Caroline Miousse, told The Verge a while back that Ubisoft’s version of Notre Dame was easily the biggest building in the game, and that she spent ‘literally years fussing over the details of the building’.
Miousse apparently obsessed over old photos to get everything just right, and even worked with texture artists to ensure that ‘each brick was as it should be’. As such, it’s fitting that gamers get the chance to see a version of the cathedral while repairs on the real thing take place.
A previous report from GPS World, suggested that detailed 3D maps such as the one in Unity will play a role in the restoring of Notre Dame to its former glory. A spokesperson Ubisoft told us that the company is “not currently involved” in the reconstruction process, but that it’d be “more than happy” help in any way it can.
As a result, Ubisoft is also pledging €500,000 to the reconstruction effort, and encourages “all who want to help with the restoration and reconstruction of the Cathedral to join Ubisoft in donating.”

Global response
England rushes forward with school privatisation agenda – but outcomes far from certain
Mar Candela
#academisation, #England, #GERM, #UK, #WhitePaper, privatisation, quality education
By Howard Stevenson, University of Nottingham, UK
Earlier this year the UK government published its plans for school reform in England in a White Paper – Educational Excellence Everywhere (DfE, 2016). Within the UK education policy is a matter for individual nations and so policy paths differ significantly across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. England has long been considered as in the vanguard of the drive towards a privatised system of public education, and the White Paper seeks the acceleration of that process.
The school system in England highlights all the complexities of the contemporary privatisation agenda in public education systems. Private companies are seldom conspicuous in the system, and in law it is not possible for any part of the public system to be provided directly on a ‘for-profit’ basis. However, in reality private companies are present in almost every aspect of the English public education system, and considerable, and increasing, amounts of public funds are being siphoned out of the system into private hands.
The most obvious way in which English education is being privatised is through the creation of academy and free schools. These are schools that have been removed from local government control and are run as ‘independent schools’ funded directly by central government. A free school is the name given to a newly established (rather than ‘converted’) academy school. Academy schools were introduced by a Labour government as a ‘turn around’ strategy for inner city schools facing persistent problems. In 2010 the Conservative-led Coalition government encouraged all schools to become academies. ‘Successful’ schools could choose to become academies on their own, whilst schools considered ‘failing’ (by the inspection process) had to be ‘sponsored’ as academies by a successful school. At the end of the 2010-15 Coalition government a majority of all secondary schools had become academies, but only 15% of primary schools had done so.
The government’s White Paper is committed to every school becoming an academy by 2022, with school communities having no choice in the matter. Moreover, it was made clear that every individual academy should be part of a group of schools – often called a Multi-Academy Trust.
The government’s commitment to academy schools is based on a claim that ‘academisation’ (a clumsy term, but one that is now part of everyday educationspeak in England) will drive up standards, and the White Paper is replete with references to England becoming a ‘world class’ education system. There is however, no evidence base to support this claim. International evidence cited in support of this agenda used to include admiring references to the Swedish free school system, but these references have been quietly dropped. Within England the influential House of Commons Education Select Committee was forced to concede ‘There is at present no convincing evidence of the impact of academy status on attainment in primary schools’, whilst the Committee Chair (and Conservative MP) asserted ‘current evidence does not prove that academies raise standards overall or for disadvantaged children’ (BBC, 2015).
So why the drive to academisation?
The answer lies in understanding that academisation is not about quality education for all but about a fundamental transformation of the English school system whereby public schools are transferred into private hands – initially on a ‘not for profit’ basis, but in due course . . . . ?
The process is initially gradual as individual schools are forced to become academy schools and in due course all schools are drawn into Multi-Academy Trusts. In turn these Trusts become larger and larger. Indeed, the proposed legislation makes reversing these processes extraordinarily difficult and so a one way route to increased concentration and monopolisation is virtually institutionalised.
This new so-called ‘school-led system’ is intended to blur the lines between public and private, and thereby open the substantial ‘market’ that is English public education to private capital. The large ‘academy chains’ illustrate these tendencies clearly. ARK is an academy chain established by a group of hedge fund managers. A past Chairman, and current Trustee, is Lord Fink. He is also treasurer of the Conservative Party and one of the party’s 20 largest donors. Another chain, Academies Enterprise Trust (AET) has previously proposed a Joint Venture with a for-profit organisation which would have resulted in a large amount of its so-called ‘back office services’ being contracted out. This did not proceed in the face of widespread condemnation (and a joint union campaign), but it illustrates clearly a direction of travel. In September 2015 Dubai-based GEMS Education, the world’s largest for-profit provider of schooling, opened its first academy school in England, under the auspices of GEMS Education Solutions, the companys’ ‘public sector management and delivery arm’. Another GEMS academy school is planned for September 2016.
What is clear is that there is now a plethora of private sector organisations deeply embedded within the English public education system and strategically placed to expand rapidly if, or more likely when, the restriction on ‘for profit’ provision is lifted.
These commercial organisations already operate in very different ways to traditional public education schools in England. They are exempt from local government control, but they also have a diminishing input from parents and community members on governing bodies. Governance is increasingly through the Trust with a clear shift towards business rather than professional interests. Multi-Academy Trusts are direct employers of individual teachers and as such are being strongly encouraged to exercise their new-found institutional ‘freedoms’ in relation to teachers’ pay and conditions of service. The drive to 100% academisation would mean the complete break up of any system of national pay and conditions for teachers and the emergence of a hugely fragmented employee relations framework. The role of unions in such a system is unclear, but there can be no doubt that the fragmentation of the system is intended to divide, and to create a hostile environment for union organisation. Teacher unions have already had to wage a number of disputes in order to defend their right to be recognised and to represent their members.
The analysis presented here is of importance to teachers elsewhere in the world. England is not a ‘high performing’ system, but that does not stop many of the policies introduced into English schooling being replicated all over the world in different places and in different forms. Rightly or wrongly, English education policy has a disproportionate impact on education systems across the world with many of its policies copied with barely any suggestion of local adaptation. England is currently in the vanguard of a particular type of education reform in which marketization and privatisation are its defining features. Across the world the ‘edu-preneurs’ will be watching England closely with a view to seeing how public education systems can be opened up to those who seek to make a private profit from the provision of a public good. That is why it is not possible to easily dismiss developments in English school sector policy.
However, despite all the political capital being mobilised to drive this agenda forward, the aspirations articulated in the White Paper have encountered stiff resistance and the government has already been forced into making an important retreat from its commitment to 100% academisation. Teacher unions have emerged at the heart of an alliance that includes parents, local government politicians and others, all of whom see a system of education provision based on public service values being hijacked and passed into the hands of corporate interests.
The government’s retreat is obviously expedient, and it clearly remains committed, in principle, to a public system of schooling with no local democratic control. That said, the range of forces opposed to these developments have already struck a notable success, and if they can maintain the broad alliance that has emerged in this campaign, it may well be that the tide of privatisation in the English school system can be turned. The outcomes are far from certain, but there is everything to play for.

140+ Inspirational Quotes From Successful Entrepreneurs
Everyone needs inspiration from people who’ve been there and done that. Here are some words of motivation and wisdom from a variety of successful entrepreneurs.
On overcoming failure
I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.
Thomas Edison, inventor, businessman, and founder of the first industrial research lab dedicated to technological innovation
How many people are completely successful in every department of life? Not one. The most successful people are the ones who learn from their mistakes and turn their failures into opportunities.
Zig Ziglar, salesman and motivational speaker
I had to pick myself up and get on with it, do it all over again, only even better this time.
Sam Walton, founder of Walmart and Sam’s Club
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
Teddy Roosevelt, owner Elkhorn Ranch and former president of the United States
Failure is just a resting place. It is an opportunity to begin again more intelligently.
Henry Ford, founder Ford Motor Company
I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed. I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying. Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
Michael Jordan, owner of the Charlotte Hornets and former basketball player
Show me a person who never made a mistake, and I will show you a person who never did anything.
William Rosenberg, founder Dunkin’ Donuts
Recognize that there will be failures, and acknowledge that there will be obstacles. But you will learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others, for there is very little learning in success.
Michael Dell, founder Dell, Inc.

Herb Kelleher, founder of Southwest Airlines
After 25 years of buying and supervising a great variety of businesses, Charlie and I have not learned how to solve difficult business problems. What we have learned is to avoid them. To the extent we have been successful, it is because we concentrated on identifying one-foot hurdles that we could step over rather than because we acquired any ability to clear seven-footers.
Warren Buffet, investor
Patience is a key element of success.
Bill Gates, co-founder Microsoft
On maintaining priorities:

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.
Steve Jobs, co-founder Apple, Inc.
Live out your imagination, not your history.
There is little success where there is little laughter.

Repetition makes reputation and reputation makes customers.
Elizabeth Arden, founder Elizabeth Arden, Inc.
Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.
I think I’m in the service business. I mean, our sandwiches are pretty good; I don’t know if they’re extraordinary. But our service is . . . I wanted all my stores to be the same, to offer the same customer experience, whether I was there or not. Customer loyalty comes from consistent experience. They learn to count on you. When you screw it up, you fire your customers.
Jimmy John Liautaud, founder Jimmy John’s Franchise LLC
When a customer’s expectations for your business don’t match reality, his or her perception is affected, oftentimes permanently. Shoddy business presentation and practices affect how much value a customer places on your brand . . . Any business, no matter what it is, lives or dies by the customer reactions it creates.
Jon Taffer, former business owner and restauranteur, current host and co-producer of Bar Rescue
A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by trying to do hard things well.

Never hire someone you can’t fire.

On entrepreneurship:
I’m a big fan of small business ownership. I think it’s the backbone of American innovation. But to be successful, you first have to have the courage to go for it.
Bill Rancic, first winner of the TV show “The Apprentice”
It doesn’t matter whether the Dow is 5000 or 50,000. If you’re an entrepreneur, there is no bad time to start a company.
Entrepreneurship is largely about being scrappy, creative, fearless, and somewhat irrational. Those aren’t the principle traits nurtured in formal business training. And ultimately, general business skill sets are easy to hire. My own business training was in a rock band.
Tim Westergen, co-founder of Pandora
I had to make my own living and my own opportunity! But I made it! Don’t sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them.

Rawa, Founder, Peachcake LLC
If you are committed to creating value and if you aren’t afraid of hard times; obstacles become utterly unimportant. A nuisance perhaps; but with no real power. The world respects creation; people will get out of your way.
Candice Carpenter, founder of iVillage.com
If you want to build a successful business, make sure you have three things—a big market opportunity, great people, and more than enough capital.
Richard Harroch, Venture Capitalist, Author, and Entrepreneur
What is best for people is what they do for themselves.
If I had to choose one attribute that would be most predictive of success for an entrepreneur, I would have to say being a good communicator. By that I mean having the ability to get other people excited or inspired about your vision. In the end, success comes largely from the work and contribution of others around you, not yourself.
The problem you ultimately want to have, as an entrepreneur, is deciding who to help, not deciding who can help you.
Gene Simmons, entrepreneur and musician
Almost every entrepreneur I know loves to brainstorm new ideas, often reminiscing the early days when they were still figuring out what to build. Side projects can ignite this entrepreneurial spirit and get a team excited.
Ryan Hoover, founder of Product Hunt
I don’t know why people are obsessed with growing so big all the time. It’s never been my idea to just grow so huge that I need a staff of 50. I love being nimble.
Natalie Sisson, co-founder of FundRazr
Being an entrepreneur isn’t just a job title, and it isn’t just about starting a company. It’s a state of mind. It’s about seeing connections others can’t, seizing opportunities others won’t, and forging new directions that others haven’t.
Tory Burch, CEO of her own billion-dollar fashion brand
That is the life of an entrepreneur: It’s a steady stream of hard work, occasionally punctuated by some really hard decisions.
Dharmesh Shah, author and co-founder of Hubspot
Entrepreneurs often think that there is a formula for running a business: measure this, check that box, and you’re done. But it never looks like that on the ground. It’s messy, but it has to happen organically.
Marc Eckō, entrepreneur and founder of eckō UNLTD
On taking risks:
I dream, I test my dreams against my beliefs, I dare to take risks, and I execute my vision to make those dreams come true.
People don’t take opportunities because the timing is bad, the financial side unsecure. Too many people are overanalyzing. Sometimes you just have to go for it.
Michelle Zatlyn, co-founder of CloudFlare
Often, in the real world, it’s not the smart who get ahead but the bold.
Robert Kiyosaki, investor and author
I don’t look at risk the way other people do. When you’re an entrepreneur, you have to go in feeling like you’re going to be successful.

Diligence is the mother of good luck.
I feel that luck is preparation meeting opportunity.

There is no royal flower-strewn path to success. And if there is, I have not found it for if I have accomplished anything in life it is because I have been willing to work hard.
The only way to do something in depth is to work hard. The moment you start being in love with what you’re doing, and thinking it’s beautiful or rich, then you’re in danger.
Miucci Prada, business owner and fashion designer
The reality is that with a startup, you can’t sit around waiting for magic to happen–you have to just work your ass off instead. Talk to customers, build your product, get feedback, then do it all over again. It’s a cycle, and it’s hard work, and it definitely doesn’t involve magic.
Hiten Shah, co-founder of Crazy Egg and KISSmetrics
On innovation and creativity:
Don’t be intimidated by what you don’t know. That can be your greatest strength and ensure that you do things differently from everyone else.
Sara Blakely, founder SPANX
We want to do just a few things better than everyone else. We just do things we think are right.
Steve Ells, founder and co-CEO of Chipotle
I think frugality drives innovation, just like other constraints do. One of the only ways to get out of a tight box is to invent your way out.
Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.
On leadership:
Start with good people, lay out the rules, communicate with your employees, motivate them and reward them. If you do all those things effectively, you can’t miss.
Lee Iacocca, senior executive of the Ford and Chrysler Motor Companies; author
Know what you bring. Know what you don’t bring. And build a team that covers everything you need.
Angie Hicks, founder of Angie’s List
No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it.
The more effort that goes into a commitment, the greater is its ability to influence the attitudes of the person who made it.
Robert Cialdini, author of Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion
As a leader, it’s a major responsibility on your shoulders to practice the behavior you want others to follow.
Himanshu Bhatia, Rose International Inc.
Jack Welch, chemical engineer and former CEO of GE
Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it’s amazing what they can accomplish.
Most businesses think that product is the most important thing, but without great leadership, mission and a team that deliver results at a high level, even the best product won’t make a company successful.
The secret to success lies not in doing your own work, but in recognizing the right man to do it.
On motivation:
One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn’t pay to get discouraged.
Lucille Ball, owner of Desilu Productions, actress and comedian
Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.
The first step is to establish that something is possible; then probability will occur.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser. The choice is yours and yours alone. Refuse to throw in the towel. Go that extra mile that failures refuse to travel. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure.
Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics
The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire, the size of your dream and how you handle disappointment along the way.
I daydreamed for motivation. I didn’t lie to myself and talk about my passions and how if I was passionate enough about something I could be successful at it.
Mark Cuban, owner Dallas Mavericks, Landmark Theatres, and investor
Sustaining a successful business is a hell of a lot of work, and staying hungry is half the battle.
Wendy Tan White, founder and CEO of Moonfruit DIY
I wake up every morning and think to myself, ‘How far can I push the company forward in the next 24 hours?’
Leah Busque, founder of TaskRabbit
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
Dale Carnegie, author How to Win Friends and Influence People; speaker
People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.
Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
On vision:
You must have an honest conversation with yourself about the vision you have for the future of your small business.
Donna Levin, co-founder and VP of Operations at Care.com
Thinking about your purpose is actually pretty crucial to your success as a company and a brand: Not only does it give customers something to believe in, but it will inspire your team to think bigger, and make your product better.
Walt Disney told his crew to ‘build the castle first’ when constructing Disney World, knowing that vision would continue to serve as motivation throughout the project. Oftentimes when people fail to achieve what they want in life, it’s because their vision isn’t strong enough.
Gail Blanke, President and CEO, Lifedesigns
All I got is dreams. Nobody else believes. Nobody else can see. Nobody else but me.
Jay Z, music producer, bar owner, and sports agent, founder of Roc Nation
Long-term goals are dangerous. They limit you. They hinder you from reacting to new conditions.
Pete Cashmore, founder Mashable
If you were born without wings, do nothing to prevent their growing.
Coco Chanel, fashion designer
High expectations are the key to everything.
Let’s get to brass tacks:
Whether you’re a programmer or a seamstress, it’s all about new techniques, simplifying old techniques, and consolidating steps. Making things go faster — but not worse.
Martha Stewart, founder Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia
If you want to sustain excellence over a long time, you’d better come up with a system that works well. Anyone can sprint for a little while, but you can’t sprint for forty years.
Michael Dell, founder of Dell, Inc.
Almost all quality improvement comes via simplification of design, manufacturing . . . layout, processes, and procedures.
Tom Peters, co-author In Search of Excellence
The truly gifted negotiator, then, is one whose initial position is exaggerated enough to allow for a series of concessions that will yield a desirable final offer from the opponent, yet is not so outlandish as to be seen as illegitimate from the start.
You can market your ass off, but if your product sucks, you’re dead.
If a vacuum cleaner salesman rings your front door, he will be selling HIMSELF first. The vacuum cleaner is secondary.
Companies that realize that their growth opportunity goes beyond the surface level marketing and focus inward at the opportunities presented within their own product are the ones who will find outsized results.
Sean Ellis, Founder of Qualaroo and GrowthHackers
See every crack, every detail. I learned to really see and not just look at my business.
Jon Taffer, former business owner and restauranteur, current hosts and co-producer of “Bar Rescue”
To sell well is to convince someone else to part with resources — not to deprive that person, but to leave him better off in the end.
Daniel Pink, author To Sell is Human and named one of the 50 most influential management gurus
On taking action:
Achievement seems to be connected with action. Successful men and women keep moving. They make mistakes but they don’t quit.

Execution really shapes whether your company takes off or not.

I am not the richest, smartest or most talented person in the world, but I succeed because I keep going and going and going.
Sylvester Stallone, restauranteur, art collector, actor, director
The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.
Nolan Bushnell, founder of Atari, Inc. and Chuck E. Cheese
My best advice to entrepreneurs is this: Forget about making mistakes, just do it.
Ajaero Tony Martins, CEO of Firefly Technologies
I got my start by giving myself a start.
J. Walker, beauty entrepreneur, founder Madame C.J. Walker Manufacturing Company in 1908, and widely considered the first African-American woman self-made millionaire
There are many really stupid ideas that wind up being brilliant, if you can implement them.
We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don’t let yourself be lulled into inaction.
Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping – they called it opportunity.
Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft
I think business is still largely an execution game, not an invention game.
A thousand acres that can feed a thousand souls is better than ten thousand acres of no more effect.
So many people told me it was not a good idea to a start a restaurant, especially a fast-food restaurant. There was so much wrong with it—it was too spicy; everything was done by hand, from scratch. Everything was wrong. But that’s why customers liked it; it’s different, in the right way. If you have an idea, just go for it. If everybody is telling you that it’s wrong, maybe that’s an indication that it’s an original idea.
Tenacity will beat brains seven days a week. Go in on Saturday. Stay ’till 6:30 on Fridays. Somebody will notice, and reward you for it.
If you are the kind of person who is waiting for the ‘right’ thing to happen, you might wait for a long time. It’s like waiting for all the traffic lights to be green for five miles before starting the trip.
Screw it, let’s just do it.

Strengthening the Economy, with Robert Atkinson Tuesday, September 12, 2017
Strengthening the Economy, with Robert Atkinson
Hosted by Rebecca Costa
Mr. Robert D. Atkinson
Today we are joined by one of the world’s most revered and controversial economists, Mr. Robert Atkinson. Atkinson is currently the President of Washington public policy think-take, the Information Technology Innovation Foundation. His work is well revered, he has been tapped by both President Bush and President Obama to spearhead major economic initiatives. He is one of the first economists to make an undeniable connection between research and development investments in technology and a strong, lasting economic recovery. We are in for an eye opening discussion where many of our misconceptions about what it takes to be a global economic leader will be shattered.
The Costa Report
Archives Available on VoiceAmerica Business Channel
The Costa Report is a post-partisan talk show for thinking people – citizens who don’t care whether a solution comes from the left, right, or center, so long as it works.
Each week The Costa Report goes where the other networks won’t. Rebecca Costa delivers what other “big-name” talk show hosts don’t. She invites the world’s top newsmakers and thought-leaders to discuss the challenges we now face for one full hour each week. No sound bites. No talking points. Each show is completely un-scripted and un-edited. From government debt, healthcare and terrorism, to election, education and energy reform, no topic is off-limits.
Rebecca Costa
Rebecca Costa is a sociobiologist who offers a genetic explanation for current events, emerging trends and individual behavior. A thought-leader and provocative new voice in the mold of Thomas Friedman, Malcolm Gladwell and Jared Diamond, Costa is the foremost expert in “Fast Adaptation” tracing everything from terrorism, debt, epidemic obesity and upheaval in the Middle East to evolutionary imperatives.
Retiring at the zenith of her career in Silicon Valley, Costa spent six years researching and writing The Watchman’s Rattle: Thinking Our Way Out of Extinction. In her book, Costa explains how the principles governing evolution cause and provide a solution for global gridlock. When asked why the book has special significance today, Costa claims, “Every person I know, wants to know why our government gets more in debt, our air and water more polluted, our jails more crowded, our security more tenuous and our children more violent. We seem to have lost our ability to solve our problems. The Watchman’s Rattle offers a genetic explanation for our paralysis, and prescribes a way out.”
The success of Rebecca Costa’s first book led to a weekly radio program in 2010 called The Costa Report. The Costa Report is currently one of the fastest growing radio programs on the West Coast.

By - The Washington Times - Sunday, December 15, 2002
Apparently, tricks aren't for kids. And neither are video games.
Or so Acclaim has propositioned this Christmas season with BMX XXX, the latest game to leave the masses aghast with its atrocities. Seeking a new audience the drooling, hormonally-charged male for its extreme sports games, Acclaim hired dancers from the Manhattan gentlemen's club Scores to appear in various states of dress in the game. It also added a bunch of swearing and pretty much annoyed every parental watch group in the country.
The result? BMX XXX isn't being sold in a number of the country's biggest retail chains, and the biggest producer of home consoles forced Acclaim to censor the game for its hardware. Still, the game received as much buzz as any other title at May's Electronics Entertainment Exposition (E3), the yearly convention at which companies reveal their upcoming game lineups.
"Through research, we realized that there wasn't much differentiation. Consumers were bored of a guy on a board on a ramp," said Ben Fischbach, senior brand manager for Acclaim. "The demographics are older, and we looked at who we are now making games for. Our intuition said there's an audience here. So the concept was, 'Let's make entertainment we want to play. Let's make entertainment a 20-year-old wants to play.'"
The numbers back up Acclaim's assumptions. The average age of a gamer these days is 28, and more than 60 percent of those who play video games are men over the age of 18, according to an August study by NPD, a global market information company that tracks a broad range of industries, including video games. In other words, children who grew up in the late '70s and '80s playing Atari and Nintendo didn't stop playing video games once they reached adulthood. And when Acclaim's biggest extreme sports titles, Dave Mirra BMX and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, did not reach expected sales figures in 2001, the company knew a different demographic would have to be targeted.
So Acclaim looked to the movies for direction, realizing it wanted to make a game that was part "Airplane!" and part "American Pie." The company hired a script writer, who turned out 400 pages of comedic material chock full of 50 crazy characters that range from homeless men to prostitutes and, shall we say, their employers. And yes, Acclaim stuck in the Scores girls, who jiggle and giggle on stage as rewards for completing various tasks in the game, and the ability to ride around on bikes as women who range from fully dressed to less than fully dressed. Of course, a bit of success in the game means those women can be topless, too.
"When we started work, we knew the product would start a debate of where video games were going as an art form," Fischbach says. "The biggest misconception we're dealing with is what the audience is. It's misconstrued that it's a child's toy, and that's just not the case anymore. [The critics] have sensationalized what's in the game. It's not full nudity; it's not sexual situations. There's a ratings system in place, and not all entertainment is meant for all audiences. Parents need to play an involved role and look at the labels."
Video games work the same way as movies. The Electronic Software Ratings Board (ESRB) labels each game with a rating, then explains on the back why it received that rating. BMX XXX carries an M, or mature, rating, meaning it is meant only for consumers 17 years old and up, because of comic mischief, nudity, strong language and strong sexual content. Other categories include EC (early childhood), E (everyone), T (teen) and AO (adults only), though no console game has garnered the last rating.
Sony Computer Entertainment America, the producer of PlayStation 2 in the United States, apparently felt the M rating wasn't enough and demanded the topless images be removed. (The Xbox and GameCube which skews much younger than the other two consoles are not censored.) According to the Web site IGN, the decision was made because the nudity didn't mesh with SCEA's business platform and because SCEA didn't find the nudity intrinsic to the game. A logo obstructs upper torso of the topless created riders and topless dancers.
A worse hit came from a number of major retail chains, including several that sell R-rated movies with similar amounts of nudity and four-letter words. The game can't be found at Best Buy, Circuit City, Toys R Us, KayBee Toys, K-Mart and Wal-Mart, among others. Those chains do, however, carry other mature titles like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Hitman 2, both of which have been cited as ultraviolent and bloody. There had been some talk of those stores carrying the censored version, but that never came to fruition.
"We knew certain retailers were not going to carry the game," said Alan Lewis, public relations director for Acclaim. "[Still, it is in] 15,000 storefronts nationwide, possibly more. And we're comfortable with the edited version on PlayStation 2."
However, Fischbach, with disappointment clear in his voice, added, "Our intent from the get-go was to release the same version on all three platforms."
Acclaim doesn't make its sales figures public. But even with the game available only in stores like Game Spot and EB Games, "sales have been meeting our expectations," Lewis said.
It's not hard to see why. While the game doesn't play that much different from any of the other extreme bike games tricks, grinds, stalls and plants are still done through various combinations of buttons to score points there are other, uh, perks. The create-a-rider feature, while not extensive, allows gamers to clothe their riders, and many of the shirts for the females are sheer. Eventually, of course, shirts become optional.
The main game mode appropriately is called Hardcore Tour and takes bikers through eight or so different areas, and there are several multiplayer modes, including a variation of strip poker. And the movies aren't too hard to unlock. On the first board, collecting five coins allows your biker entrance to Scores and starts the first non-nude movie. Collecting 40 more coins on that board opens up another short video.
"It is all based on humor," Fischbach said. "What can we do that would push the line? Scores is popular in New York, so we got the license and utilized it. [Nudity] has been done in some PC games. Surely with this kind of mass market it is a first for platforms."
In case anybody cares, the movies can be locked with a simple code found on any Internet site. For curiosity purposes only. And, of course, not for kids.

Watch The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
"Evil Has Reigned For 100 Years..."
In 1940, London is under attack by German bombers. The Pevensie children, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, are evacuated to the country home of Professor Digory Kirk for their own safety. When arriving at the house, the housekeeper tells the children that he is not accustomed to having children around and they must not be disruptive.
While playing hide and seek in the attic, Lucy discovers an old wardrobe. Stepping through the wardrobe door, she discovers she is in an enchanted land known as Narnia. She comes upon strange and wonderful woodland creatures who tell her of their plight. The White Queen is trying to conquer all of Narnia.
Lucy convinces her siblings to come through the wardrobe and explore this parallel universe. Once they enter the land, they are seen as Narnia’s protectors and champions. The forest creatures see Peter as the leader of their army, and they wage war for control of Narnia. Peter fights alongside of Aslan, a magical lion who is the protector of all the woodland creatures. Aslan’s wisdom is not wasted on the children. The children become Kings and Queens of Narnia.
Years later, chasing a white stag through the forests of Narnia, Peter, Lucy, Edmund and Susan run through the trees and into a jumble of coats and fall out of the wardrobe. They are back home in London. Professor Kirk enters the room and asks what they are doing? Peter states that the professor wouldn’t believe them if they told him.
The professor smiles and tells the children that he has been to Narnia, too. Lucy attempts to use the wardrobe to get back to Narnia, but it doesn’t work. The professor tells Lucy that he has been trying to get back for many years, and one day they will return, but it will be when they least expect it.

Photo: Submitted
The John Cooper School announced a homecoming Tuesday as Matthew Wilson was named new boys basketball coach and program director.
Wilson, a 2006 Cooper alumnus, co-captained the Dragons’ Southwest Preparatory Conference (SPC) championship team that went 31-3 in his senior season.
After spending time as a coach elsewhere, mostly in the college ranks, Wilson saw an opportunity at Cooper he could not pass up.
“It’s incredible,” Wilson said in a phone interview Tuesday. “I’m so excited. I learned and grew so much in my time as a student at Cooper. So I’m thrilled at the opportunity to invest in our students and the future generations.”
Wilson played collegiately at American University in Washington, D.C. while earning his Bachelor of Science degree. Wilson also earned an MBA from Rice University and a Master’s in Education from Baylor.
The new Cooper coach was on collegiate basketball coaching staffs at Baylor, Eastern New Mexico and, for the past three years, Kilgore Junior College.
With plenty of experience at the next level, Wilson hopes to help his Dragon players with their own transitions out of high school.
“When I tell them what they need if they want to accomplish their goals of playing in college, it’s coming from a place of experience,” he said. “It’s coming from a place of having been a recruiter for five years. It’s coming from a place of working with college students on a daily basis. I understand what it takes to be successful in college.”
Wilson enters his first head coaching job with some high school experience as well. From 2010-12, he served as an assistant girls basketball coach at Episcopal High School in Houston.
As he re-enters the high school level, Wilson says his time at Episcopal should help him with the two main differences between college and high school basketball: interactions with parents and having multiple teams within one program.
“My experience at Episcopal educated my communications with parents and specific training for students,” he said. “The skill sets required at high school and college are a little bit different. I think that will help with that adjustment.”
Perhaps the most valuable experience Wilson brings to Cooper is his time there as a student. Wilson recalled a moment during his job interview when he met a current basketball player who was going to perform in the school play later that night.
Wilson says being involved and managing one’s time are two big parts of life at Cooper.
“I understand what they’re going through on a daily basis,” he said. “Cooper is an extraordinary academic school. It is difficult and you have to manage your time very well, but it prepares you for later in life tremendously. I understand the time commitment the students have to athletics, the time commitment they have to academics, and the time commitment they may have to other extracurricular activities.”
Cooper last won the SPC when Wilson was a player back in 2006. Now the coach, Wilson hopes to build a program — with strong defense, relentless effort and a quick transition game — that can get back to that level.
“We want to build a program where we are giving ourselves a chance to compete, ultimately for championships,” he said. “The timing of them is never certain. Championships are obviously very difficult and hard to come by, but to me, they require three things: they require a championship culture, they require talent and they require great team chemistry.”

For aging nuclear reactors, a coming surge of shutdowns
How safe will these ad-hoc radioactive dumps be?
By Kevin Gray | September 23, 2013 -- 01:59 GMT (18:59 PDT) | Topic: Innovation
When it first fired up its twin reactors in 1973, the Zion nuclear power plant in Illinois -- roughly 40 miles north of Chicago -- was the largest in the world. It was a stunning work of technology that supplied electricity to some two million homes. And it could have easily lived on into the new century. But in 1998, its parent company, the energy giant Exelon Corp, turned off its lights and shuttered the facility rather than face some costly upgrades.
For 12 years, Zion sat dormant on prime Lake Michigan shorefront as Exelon shelled out $10 million a year to maintain it and protect it with round-the-clock patrols of armed guards. By 2010, the facility had become home to drifting weeds and nesting falcons.
But that year, the federal government -- in an arrangement never tried before -- agreed to allow Exelon to transfer custody of the plant to EnergySolutions, a nuclear-waste storage outfit. The deal was worth a potential $1 billion in clean-up fees to EnergySolutions. It would be the largest nuclear power plant decommissioning ever undertaken in the United States. And it pledged to return the 375-acre site back to Exelon as grass and local shrubbery at the end of 10 years. From there it could be used for a park, condos or commercial purposes.
Following fears of meltdowns at Japan’s tsunami-ravaged Fukushima reactors in 2011, governments, utilities and private industry are eager to see the results of the deal. The storage of spent nuclear fuel and the dismantling and transportation of the reactor buildings takes technical skill and an innovative business plan, which could become a model for dozens of other nuclear plants being mothballed across the United States and around the world. And because President Obama refused in 2008 to re-open the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository, the toxic byproducts in facilities need commercial resting places.
Today, despite some financial setbacks, EnergySolutions is ahead of its decommission schedule. And this October, it will begin the trickiest phase of its operation: moving the spent nuclear fuel from the wet storage pools in the reactor buildings to large concrete casks several yards away, where they will sit on a raised pad and remain indefinitely.
"The project is 42 percent complete," says John Christian, head of logistics, processing and disposal at EnergySolutions and the man who has overseen the project from the start. "We've completed all the site prep and started to make waste shipment from the site."
Ripping and shipping
Rows of ominous-looking concrete casks now rise on the gravel site. They stand 18 feet, 9 inches high, measure more than 11 feet in diameter and, when loaded, will weigh 157 tons each. They can withstand a tornado with winds up to 360 miles per hour, 4,000-pound wind-blown projectiles hurtling at speeds of 126 miles per hour, flooding, fire and even accidental tipping over. And they will soon house all 2.2 million pounds of spent nuclear fuel -- and another 80,000 pounds of radioactive material -- from the site.
In a process known as "rip and ship," the company will next tear down sections of the plant and move them by rail to its radioactive waste facility in Clive, Utah, where they will be dumped wholesale and entombed beneath rock and clay. EnergySolutions expects to ship some 500,000 cubic feet of material -- enough to fill 80 rail cars -- everything from concrete walls, pipes, wiring, machinery, desks and chairs, much of it contaminated with low-level radiation. But the hottest stuff -- the spent fuel -- will remain right where it is.
EnergySolutions has spent the past year removing Zion's fuel rods from a cooling pool and putting them into the canisters and casks for dry storage. The fuel, which is still about 400 degrees, can now be air cooled. Christian expects the company to begin moving the casks, via a heavy-haul rail, 100 yards south of the reactors by mid-October.
They will remain there until the feds come up with an alternative to Yucca Mountain. "Until we have a national repository open, this spent fuel has to stay where it is," says Lawrence Boing, a nuclear decommissioning specialist at Argonne National Laboratory’s nuclear engineering division. "The big question now is what do we do with this stuff?"
That question comes at a time when the entire global decommissioning market is about to expand like at no other time during our nuclear era. In the past three years since the tsunami wreaked havoc on the Fukushima plants, more than 20 reactors have been ordered closed at a potential cost of $26 billion to the industry. That’s a boon to businesses like EnergySolutions that can lead to decades-long contracts for tear-downs.
"A lot of plants are approaching 40 years old, and at some point the owners are going to look around and either build a new one or say 'This no longer makes economic sense,'" says Margaret Harding, a nuclear industry consultant based in Wilmington, Del.
She adds that the rise of cheap natural gas from shale fracking has put nuclear power on alert. On Aug. 27, energy company Entergy shocked both supporters and long-time opponents, who had fought for the closure of its 41-year-old Vermont Yankee nuclear reactor, among the oldest in the country. The company said it would do so, but not because of opposition. In the face of cheap gas, it was "no longer financially viable," an Entergy executive said.
While Entergy said it could take decades to decommission the reactor, which it plans to shut down next year, other nuclear sites are moving to decommission at a faster pace. The global trends publisher Research and Markets reported last year that it expects the decommissioning market to surge as more than half the world's reactors are expected to shut down by 2030, including 150 reactors across Europe, accounting for the bulk of them.
A financial challenge
In the United States, the people paying for these tear-downs are usually the electric utility's ratepayers. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission requires each power plant operator to set aside a fund to dismantle or permanently encase its reactors. When Zion powered up, ratepayers began paying pennies on every bill to go into its fund. It stands at $1 billion.
The Zion project has been a financial challenge for EnergySolutions. In March 2012, it revealed it had underestimated the costs by about $100 million -- an enormous amount considering the size of the decommissioning fund. A month later, it replaced its CEO for the second time in two years. The company's new president, David Lockwood, told analysts it had intentionally underbid the project, hoping the publicity would help it land other teardowns around the world, including in Germany, which hopes to shutter all of its plants by 2022. "We undertook Zion for strategic, not financial, reasons," Lockwood said.
Indeed, EnergySolutions has enormous technical skills. It helped tear down the Maine Yankee and Connecticut Yankee plants, and it is contracted to clean up roughly 53 million gallons of residual radioactive and chemical waste stored in 177 aging tanks at the nation's Hanford weapons site, home to the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima. It is also currently decommissioning 18 reactors in the United Kingdom and is designing and installing the system that will decontaminate water from the Fukushima plants down to safe level. "EnergySolutions has remarkable experience dealing with far higher contamination, and in far more complicated processes at sites like Hanford, than you are going to see at a commercial nuclear site," says Harding, who has worked in this field for 30 years.
It also has the financial advantage of owning its own waste facilities. Its Utah site, where lower-level radioactive waste from Zion will be shipped, charges between $25 to $100 per cubic foot for waste storage. About 4 million cubic feet of Zion waste will be shipped there, monitored by 30 air-sampling stations, 90 ground-monitoring wells and 60 soil-sampling stations. This might cost another firm $400 million, a budget-breaking figure on a typical lump-sum project, but it's one that should pay off for EnergySolutions.
This past January, in a sign of its financial struggles, a $7 billion private equity firm, Energy Capital Partners, bought the company for $1.1 billion and took it private, paying a 20-percent premium at $3.75 per share, over the company's average closing share price. "For our company, this transaction enables us to continue to execute on our strategic plan by providing the investment capital to expand and to grow our business," said Lockwood, indicating a desire to see the company grow into the expanding market here and overseas.
The fate of Zion's dry storage casks is less certain. EnergySolutions will turn the casks and the Zion site as greenfield back to Exelon once it has completed decommissioning. Exelon could turn the area into a park. The casks are licensed for 20 years, with up to four year extensions. The NRC believes the fuel can be safely stored for at least 100 in casks. But the radioactive half life is 16 million years, with a defined hazardous life of 160 million years. The world will soon be dotted with these ad-hoc radioactive dumps.

North Dakota Takes Bold Step Forward On Commercial Hemp Industry, Tells Feds To Stay Out
Nick Wing ~ Huffington Post
North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple (R) signed a bill into law on March 27th, 2015 that lays the groundwork for a commercial hemp industry and explicitly cuts the federal government out of the state's licensing process.
House Bill 1436 establishes guidelines for the state's industrial hemp program and allows people to apply to grow the plant for either research or commercial purposes. With its provision for commercial hemp, the law goes beyond the federal Farm Bill, passed by Congress last year, which allowed some states to cultivate the plant, but only for research purposes and in more restricted pilot programs.
The new measure builds on previous legislation that had legalized industrial hemp farming in North Dakota, but had gone largely unimplemented. Harsh federal restrictions on hemp have left some growers open to prosecution, making many states wary of pushing forward with cultivation. In addition to North Dakota, twelve other states have passed legislation to establish commercial industrial hemp programs, and a handful more have approved hemp production for agricultural uses or academic research. However, a number of those states have not actually moved ahead with officially establishing commercial hemp operations.
North Dakota will join the five states -- Colorado, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee and Vermont -- that actually implement the hemp laws they have on the books. The Hemp Industries Association, a nonprofit trade group consisting of hundreds of hemp businesses, recently reported that those states collectively planted approximately 125 acres of hemp crops last year.
In an update to North Dakota's earlier hemp legislation, HB 1436 takes a bold stance against federal authorities, holding that a "license required by this section is not conditioned on or subject to review or approval by the United States drug enforcement agency." Instead, the North Dakota Agriculture Department will oversee the process for issuing licenses and monitoring and testing the hemp grown in the state.
Federal drug policy doesn't differentiate between hemp and other strains of marijuana that contain much higher concentrations of the psychoactive compound tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. Since the passage of the 1970 Controlled Substances Act, all forms of marijuana have been considered Schedule I substances by the Drug Enforcement Administration. Drugs in this category are deemed to be among the most dangerous, with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse and severe psychological or physical dependence. (Other Schedule I drugs include heroin and synthetic stimulants once known as "bath salts.")
According to a 2005 Congressional Research Service report, the U.S. is the only developed nation that hasn't developed an industrial hemp crop for economic purposes.
Hemp has a variety of uses, from textiles and paper to oils, cosmetics and food products. The HIA estimated the total retail value of hemp products sold in the U.S. in 2014 to be at least $620 million. Due to federal restrictions, the overwhelming majority of the hemp used in these products currently comes from imported sources.
Earlier this year, bipartisan groups of lawmakers in both the House and Senate introduced versions of the Industrial Hemp Farming Act, which would end the federal ban on hemp production.
The legislation would amend the Controlled Substances Act to exclude industrial hemp from the definition of marijuana and would allow American farmers in all states to grow the crop. Neither version of the bill has received a vote.

Fairs Follow Long Tradition
Written by Christy Martinez
With themes ranging from “Barn in the USA” to “Dancing with the Steers,” county fair season is officially underway across the U.S., and will eventually give way to state fairs later this summer.
As I write this, the town of Casper is celebrating parade day in conjunction with the Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo, the first county fair to be held in the state each summer.
After some research, I found that the first fair in North America was held in 1765 in Windsor, Nova Scotia, while a New England patriot and farmer, Elkana Watson, earned the title of “Father of U.S. Agricultural Fairs” after organizing the Berkshire Agricultural Society and creating an event, known as the Cattle Show, in Pittsfield, Mass. in September 1811. The livestock exposition was also a competition, with $70 paid for the best oxen, cattle, swine and sheep.
After that first fair, Watson worked with other communities to organize their own agricultural societies and their respective shows, or fairs. By 1819, it’s said that most counties in New England had their own societies and fairs, and the movement was spreading to other states. By the end of the 19th Century, almost every state and province had one or more ag fairs or exhibitions.
Today over 3,200 fairs are held in North America annually, and I think it’s safe to say that if you were to walk onto the grounds of many of them, you’d find the same elements – livestock barns containing cattle, hogs and sheep, exhibit halls filled with home-grown produce and homemade products and many 4-H and FFA kids working hard to put the finishing touches on their projects.
Many fairs boast exhibits like none other. I grew up attending the Iowa State Fair, and a “must-see” each year is the butter cow, which is just that – a dairy cow sculpted from butter. Just run a Google image search, and you’ll see for yourself.
Unfortunately, this summer the butter cow will be missing its creator of over 50 years, as sculptor Norma Lyon passed away this year at the age of 81. She sculpted her first 600-pound cow for the Iowa State Fair in 1959 while pregnant with her seventh child. The Iowa State Fair has featured a butter cow every year since 1911 as a promotion for the state’s dairy products.
I had the opportunity to meet Norma while in college, on a field trip with a dairy judging course. After we reviewed several pens of Jersey dairy cows, she brought us warm, homemade cookies in the old milking parlor, and we washed them down with fresh Jersey milk, and I still remember that’s the sweetest, smoothest milk I’ve ever tasted.
So, whether you encounter a cow made entirely of butter or something else at Wyoming’s county fairs or the Wyoming State Fair this year, be sure to get out and support your local agriculture industry and the youth who are becoming involved – after all, that’s been the whole point of county, regional and state fairs ever since Elkana Watson first created his event 200 years ago.
In the pages of the Roundup we’re in the midst of our “Summer County Fair Series,” which features information about the ongoing county fairs and their schedules, as well as articles on notable kids and their projects from around the state. Stay tuned for more coverage of fair season in the Cowboy State!

Read the full transcript of “Is the Wine World Still an Old Boys Club?”:
Susan Kostrzewa: Hi, I’m Susan Kostrzewa. I’m the executive editor of Wine Enthusiast. In this episode, we’ll talk with Women of the Vine & Spirits founder, Deborah Brenner, and Wine Enthusiast tasting director, Lauren Buzzeo, about what it means to be a woman in the wine and spirits industry, and how gender differences affect what’s in your glass.
So we’ve all been in the industry for a while now. I’ve been in the wine and spirits industry on the journalistic side for about 15 years. Lauren, I think, how long have you been involved in wine and beer and spirits?
Lauren Buzzeo: Let’s just go with over a decade. We don’t have to get specific here.
SK: Deborah, I know also you’ve been in this for a while. I would love some of your perspective. Actually, we’ve talked before about your, sort of the path that got you to where you are now. Maybe you can talk a little bit about that and then also tell me what you think. Do you think things have improved for women in our industry?
Deborah Brenner: It’s been really interesting to champion women in this industry because I started over 10 years ago. At that time, nobody was talking and certainly didn’t want to listen to me, about talking about women pioneering and trailblazing, and what we could do for diversity initiatives in this business. So, has it changed for women today? Yes and no. I mean, that’s the only way I can answer that, to be honest, because some things have but others … We have a long way to go.
LB: It’s interesting that your background includes coming from the tech sector and industries that are probably seeing a little bit of a parallel in terms of the promotion of women within those industries, as well. So, I think it’s just an overall conversation that, thankfully across many different industries, that we’re having as just a nation, in terms of the importance and the prominence of women in the workplace. Certainly as it pertains to us, we want to talk about the wine industry. I think you hit the nail on the head. Ten years ago, there were certainly plenty of women. We were all around. But, it wasn’t really a national conversation. It wasn’t really a vocal conversation that a lot of people were having. So to be able to have this group and this network of support, where everybody feels comfortable coming together and sharing their stories and experiences, and really working for a change, has just been probably very illuminating and enthralling for so many people.
SK: I would like to talk a little bit about how women as consumers and how women as producers, or women in the wise wine business, are impacting our industry, and also what the consumer is drinking. Because I think that … Look at the numbers, I mean, women are purchasing something like 80% of the wines being bought in the U.S. for the household. And that’s another one that, it’s not like that’s a new thing. That’s been going on for some time. It just maybe wasn’t being talked about in the open. What do you guys think? How do you think that impacts what products are out on the shelves, and how does it impact how wine is made? Do you think there is a difference in how women approach a product, how men approach a product … What is your perspective on that?
DB: Well, I mean you’re absolutely right. The numbers reflected the fact that women were dominating the purchasing power of wine in America, and also consumption in restaurants and what we call on premise. That’s been going on for a long time. How it can influence … I think it just goes to show what what we’re doing at Women of the Vine & Spirits with advocating diversity initiatives and leadership roles. You know, when you have a diverse team making impactful decisions on the industry, how could you exclude women when the women are the largest consumer? And we certainly don’t want to exclude men, it’s a collective effort, we have to do it together. But I think, looking at those numbers, even demonstrates a stronger need for having women in those decision-making roles because they do know what women want. It’s not that they want something pink, we’re not going to pink our wine, we’re not going to low-alcohol our wine. We’re certainly not going to –
SK: No I do love a good rose, I will say.
DB: Well, I do. I do, I have to say when I say pink I mean in the labeling and the marketing.
SK: I understand.
DB: And I love my rose and my rose [inaudible 00:05:15]. But, I think, that’s because that’s what they thought, right? So there was a trend a while ago when they first, the marketers were waking up to the women consumer, and they were doing things that were, like I said, lower alcohol and affecting the way they were making … And that, I think it backfired because it’s not what women want. So, what do they want? Well, you really do have to ask women.
SK: You have to ask women. I had a conversation with our spirits editor, Kara Newman, about this a while ago. It was really great because I said, “You know, what are the stats revealing as far as what women and men are drinking?” And she said, “Well, I mean brown spirits are huge for women right now, more so than gin and vodka. That’s a big growing sector for women, to appreciate these traditionally male spirits.”
I’ve acknowledged, just in my own life, the men I know drinking more of, again that stereotypical … Champagne, sparkling wine, white wine, rose … So, you have to be very careful. I think you’re right, there was a time where the marketing of these wines for women, it was really hard to sort of stomach. On one hand, I was excited to see that these companies were acknowledging, “Look it’s not a one-sided thing.” It’s not just men sitting in their cellars collecting super high-end wines. There’s a very broad, sort of spectrum of people drinking wine. But I just sort of thought, who’s decided that this is what women want? It felt like it came out of a marketing, sort of room full of guys.
LB: Sue, you know you always look for those wines with the big fancy high-heeled shoe on the label.
I think, actually, a lot of this goes along with really what we try to do here at Wine Enthusiast, which is almost the democratization and the better education of just wine and wine consumption, right? I think, traditionally, you’re talking about perceptions that the men were the ones who were leading in terms of consumers, or in producers’ minds. The men were the one that they needed to pay attention to because they were the ones who were perceived to be really doing a lot of the purchasing and doing the collecting. It was a lot of trophy bottles and … Let’s say, there’s another phrase out there that might pertain to what I’m speaking of, but I’m not going to say here. It has to go with swinging back-and-forth.
For women though, we’re really looking at understanding that they’re the ones that are actually leading consumption and purchasing, and are looking beyond those, albeit in most cases fantastic, but beyond those traditional producers or regions and really just open to learning more, drinking better, and experiencing different things. That’s what I think is the most exciting thing about recognizing the importance of women and our purchasing power in the market today.
DB: Absolutely, and I just want to … We touched on it before, about women have been in the industry, they just worked talked about. When you see some of the family winemakers and the traditional, which is just the best wines in the world, they were family. That means there were women at the helm, they just didn’t talk about it. So those women were working in the business, raising the children, keeping the household, and they were remarkable. It wasn’t something now because women consumption is the highest, and the way that we relate to products … We relate to products through stories, through people. That’s how women do purchase. I tell all the women that are involved in Women of the Wine & Spirits, this is your time to boast, to shine. Tell your stories because that’s how those women consumers are going to connect with you. I’m going to drink your wine, not a private label that was marketed to me.
SK: Right. For women who are producing wine and are consuming wine, but also just the newer consumer, they want context for the wine. When should I drink this? What’s the situation? What am I eating? Its scores are still important, people still obviously follow them. In addition to that, they want to know how do I use this wine? How do I interact with this wine? I think that it really opens things up for everybody to be able to tell stories in that way.
LB: And I think that that’s something that generally also speaks to maybe something fundamental differences between genders as well, in terms of how much you want to think about something, and how many other areas your brain actually goes into when considering a wine verses, as Sue was saying, just thinking about a score, or provenance, or reputation. Really actually diving into well what am I eating, who am I going to be with, where is this wine from? Do I know it, do I not know it? If I don’t know it, why don’t I know it? What can I learn about it? I think women generally tend to be just a little bit more thirsty for that discovery and that search of knowledge than perhaps some traditional collectors might be.
SK: One of the things that I really … I take away every year when I attend the conference, but also in the discussions that extend beyond the conferences … How do you take all this good information and implement it into real life support in the workplace? I would love to know, from your perspective, some of the programs or some of the approaches that you think, as you’ve talked to people over the years, because I think anyone who’s listening to this works in a company probably has thought about “How can I address diversity or gender roles a little bit better?” Do you have any advice or good practices, just off the top of your head, that you’ve heard that you would like to talk about a little bit?
DB: Yeah, and I think you bring up a good point. I mean, anybody listening could be in any industry, you know? I think the obstacles in some of the gender stereotypes and things and diversity that we face, it’s not just in the alcohol/beverage industry. It’s across all industries. So it’s very applicable. Obviously, for us we’re paring it down to specifically a industry focus, but I think the first thing is having these conversations. I think that is important. I think the other thing is to … Engagement in the conversation. You’d be amazed, and I’m sure you both have experienced it, how many men are extremely supportive. When you start really engaging them, that’s when change is going to happen. We’re going to do it together.
SK: Yeah, and I think they’re supportive but they don’t always know exactly how to help. I mean other than just being supportive every day in the workplace. I think these kind of discussions are very helpful for them, as well. Like how do I implement something, how do I help implement something in the workplace that’s supportive?
DB: Absolutely. I think you pointed out very well, you know I like to say to people that diversity initiatives are happening in discussions in HR departments. First of all, especially in our industry, there are millions of companies that don’t have HR departments. We still are family run and operated in so many aspects of this industry, so that may only be applicable to some of the larger corporations. Really, diversity doesn’t happen at the hiring process, it happens at the top because it’s not that we can’t be diverse of having people enter the business, it’s how to get them to the leadership and decision-making.
Really for me, I focus more on the executive level because that’s where I think diversity for us and the next generation of women has to start. So I think you need to have the conversations at the top, and I also think what tools and what things are we doing … The conference, I thought, may be a one-off event. It became clear not only did we need to do it annually, but we needed to keep the conversation going all year. I don’t think you can really create a movement and make change in anything if you’re only talking about it once a year. So, creating the year-round alliance and programs, educational webinars, job postings and boards, those are really, really important to keep the conversation and networking. I’m really a big, big proponent of talking to our members and partners at Women of the Vine & Spirits. Network during your day. If it is work, it’s work. You owe the gift to yourself to take 10 minutes out and talk to some people, and reach out.
LB: I think that that’s such great advice and honestly your comment about really starting at the top and going to the executives, and having the conversation from there … These are the people that can really, as Sue was saying, what can we do to support, these are the people that can really support those efforts to do those items, to do networking, to make those connections during your workday because you are right, there are a lot of other obligations that exist outside of our professional lives. Especially, admittedly for myself as well, as women, as a mother of household, there’s a lot of other things going on that need my attention.
Just having that awareness from everybody within the business, certainly male executives, leading by example that “Hey, this is work. This is something that is important for you to do. I’d like to make sure that you have the time, the resources, to be able to do it appropriately to be successful in your position.” I think that Sue and I, and likely you DB, can likely speak to a range of men that we’ve worked with throughout our professional lives that were incredibly supportive and who helped and mentored us along the way. It’s because of that recognition and that support of us personally, and of other areas in our lives, that we’ve been able to come so far and get where we are.
SK: It’s so funny because, or maybe not funny, but really one of the big insights from this last conference that I attended, we talked a lot about … You know, obviously we hope that as a society we have evolved to a level of gender really not, we want to be at a point, where gender does not play in. Where it’s not to be a concern. But beyond anything else, it’s just smart. It’s just good business to recognize how women can impact the bottom line, how they can impact an organization. I thought that was brought up because we wanted to be beyond that. We would love for this sort of gender bias to be gone completely. But in the meantime, I think that anybody who is running a business can look at what happens when you put women into executive positions. That’s happening more and more. There’s real growth, I mean obviously. It just makes sense. It’s just interesting to look at it from that perspective as well. It’s almost like a hard numbers type of thing, in some cases.
LB: And I think more and more you can easily identify the companies that are making efforts, and that are being proactive and supporting women in those more executive roles. Because they are being more successful, they are more modern, they are moving with the times. So, absolutely. It affects the industry as a whole.
DB: And I have to say that I’ve … I’m witnessing that every day with what I’m doing because when I started this, right? It was a complete leap of faith starting as an entrepreneur to put this together. The alliance, and the conference, and all the work that we’re doing is funded through individual membership and corporate partnerships. What’s been remarkable is to see the companies and the corporate partners that have stepped up and supported this organization and what we are doing and supporting our mission. I have to say, most of the people that were in that decision-making position to write those checks and support our organization were men because they are in the leadership position. So I’m just thrilled, and I’m so proud of our partners and our members for stepping up and showing that, together, we can work and it will be good for the whole industry as a whole.
SK: I think that we’ve had a lot of conversation or discussion about, obviously women, but also about the men. So, I want to question, as women, as women working together, as women in an industry together, how can we be more supportive of one another? Historically, maybe in certain areas, it’s been a little bit tough or competitive. I think that times might be changing, and there might be a new call for a more cohesive, if you will, female unit. So what can we do-
LB: Collaborative.
SK: Collaborative female unit, exactly. So what can we do to be more collaborative within our industry? Have you seen that mentality sort of shift a little bit throughout the few years?
DB: Now, having a forum and you can see if you engage in any of our regional events, or our webinars, or come to our annual conference, the energy is just unbelievable. It is collective energy of collaboration. What’s so exciting is to see all of these companies that are competitors, taking off their competitive hat for the greater good of the cause, which is to advance women in their careers. I think what it really comes down to is the individual level because that’s where it still is a problem for people. Not so much in the larger group segment, but the individuals against other individuals.
That stems from a lot of other things, like you say, it stems from insecurities, it stems from a lack of confidence, and things. I think that now having a forum what you need to do is seek out those women that do support you. Now we can ignore a little bit of those other ones that may not because you have somewhere else to turn. I have to say that I have all the same insecurities and doubts as any human being would. When I feel that way, I am so grateful for now having a network of the most incredible women in this industry in all walks of the industry. That’s where I say, I force myself because we’re all so busy, and we’re working in such a fast-paced environment, and sometimes just taking two minutes to email or pick up a phone. I can feel the energy get back into my blood and I feel I can go on the rest of the day. Just that little word of encouragement, or feeling like I’m not alone. It’s really powerful. Especially, because we’re facing challenges all the time.
SK: Yeah, and I think that in the past, just as you were talking I was thinking, I think what use to happen for women in the workplace is there weren’t a lot of other women to turn to. There was a different approach to problem solving, which I think has changed. I feel there was a real gender delineation for many years and workplaces to how you approached, you know, if you didn’t know something, was it okay to say, “Hey, I actually don’t have an answer to this. What do you think we should do?”
That has not typically been a male way of handling yourself if you want to be respected in business. Usually it’s, “Actually I’ll either not admit that I don’t know it, or I’ll just say something and hope that it sounds good.” I mean, and again, I don’t think most men wanted to approach things that way either, but I think there used to be that delineation. I feel like people’s behaviors in the workplace in general have changed, male and female. And it is more collaborative. It is okay to be smart and turn to the smart people in your group and say, “I’m not sure what to do here, let’s talk about it and work it out.” It’s nice to see, finally, all of that evolving. I’m hoping that will also help women not to feel sort of isolated in their approach and how they want to handle it.
I actually want to take this down another road, and it’s just for fun, a little bit for fun. So, I’d love to hear from you guys. As strong women and I have to assume, since you were children, strong personalities, who your heroes were as young women? You know, either as children or young women, obviously we can take it a couple different directions. One is, who inspired you? Were there women who inspired you in your life, maybe we start with that. Strong women, or could be a family member, could be a famous person. I’m springing this on them, they didn’t know I was going to ask that. So don’t think too much.
DB: Go ahead.
LB: Thanks, Sue.
Well, I know this might be a little bit of a shortcut, but I’m going to say who inspired me the most, honestly, was my mom and my dad for very different reasons. I’m going to start with my dad because he inspired me to be a passionate, live in the moment, appreciate everything that’s going on around you in every sense possible, in the moment that you’re in it, kind of person. He’s the one that introduced me to wine. We did a ton of tastings, we would always go out and enjoy fine dining and fine bottles over many, many hours. So he really was my entry into the world of wine from an inappropriately young age, so I have to give credit where credit is due there–
DB: Italian.
LB: Yeah, Italian. You know. So he absolutely changed my life in that regard, but I have to also say my mom for a completely different reason. When things sort of went south between them, and she was left to pick up the pieces, she was the toughest, scrappiest, most amazing, and simultaneously elegant woman that I’ve ever known to exist. So it’s definitely for very different reasons, but they both showed me what it really could be to be an amazing human, regardless of gender.
SK: Deb. That’s a tough act to follow.
DB: It is a very tough act to follow, and I have to say it’s a very hard question. Our life path takes us and introduces us to people at all different stages, and we go through different stages of our life. So, I think my heroes have changed as my stages have changed. I have to say as a child, it was definitely my family because I am the youngest of three girls. There were no boys, so in my household, I have to say I kind of grew up in a little bit of a plastic bubble because I didn’t have firsthand gender differences because I didn’t have brothers. I kind of didn’t experience it until I went out in the real world as I got older, and I was like, “Whoa, what is this?” Somebody had to mow the lawn, and there was no one else to mow the lawn, so I’m going to mow the lawn. I’m going to rake the leaves.
So, I think it brings up an interesting thing when we talk about the unbiased, the unspoken biases, because even in our own families we tend to stereotype who’s going to mow the lawn and who is going to do the dishes, it just is. So, I didn’t have that, so for me my heroes came about in my workforce. Once I got out of my home, that’s when I encountered that I was being treated differently. I have to say that I didn’t have role models in my workplace because there were no women in those leadership roles. They were all in entry level or secretarial type roles. I did find role models with news anchors. When you see the first woman doing that and I was like, “Wow, look at that.”
Women getting promoted into positions, and I think that’s always been where I’ve been fascinated to know their story and how they got there. I think, honestly, that’s what led me to write the book, Women of the Vine, because I was so intrigued by these leaders, and I wanted to know, how did they do it as women, as wives, mothers, daughters … And now their CEOs, scientists, and still all of that. So, I guess I didn’t answer with a specific hero, but my heroes are everywhere. They’re all out there, they’re all you.
LB: Thanks for beating me.
DB: No, no. I mean, I just have to say. Well you go to the conference, right? I want to say, “That’s my hero.” Then I meet somebody in a whole different industry, and I’m like, “Oh my God.” I find it.
SK: No, it is a hard question to answer.
DB: It’s a hard question.
SK: And actually what I was going to say is I remember my first Halloween costume as a kid being Princess Leia. Again, not to say that she was completely feminist, but I can remember as a young girl just who I connected with, and who I wanted to be in general. They were always sort of more ass kicking women, and a lot of, you know, and men as well–
DB: Well I guess one was Catwoman because I’m older than you. So I watched Batman and when they had her I was like, “Oh man.” Yeah, I’m older, so I’m really showing. But if you’re bringing that up, I have to say that was badass for me.
SK: Yeah will you look at–
LB: But let’s just clarify that we’re talking Leia Organa, not slave Leia, right?
SK: Yeah, not slave Leia. Yeah, yeah. Not slave Leia. And I was just thinking when you were talking, I mean, I think for me too it was my parents. I mean my father has always been … There are three girls and one boy in my family, I was the youngest, am the youngest. There really wasn’t much discussion as to whether we were going to achieve things in our life, my brother or the girls. My mother, I always joke and say my mom, you know, she’s German. She’s tough. And I can remember, it was always like, get up, scrape off the dirt … Are you bleeding or not? Are you alive? Okay, move on.
You know, always taught us to really be tough, and to try not to actually not to lean too much on being a woman. That was something, for her, that was very important. She said, I want you to … You know, she was my mom, she said, “I think you’re all beautiful and wonderful, but that can go away. So you need to build everything else. And not focus on that, even if others want to focus on that.”
DB: I have to say that my father said a similar thing to me. I owe so much to my parents. I’ll never forget when I was thinking about college, it wasn’t a choice. It was kind of like, “You’re going to go to college.” My father said to me, and I think it’s important for the listeners to hear because it’s just so remarkable, and he says, “I don’t care if you decide to be a stay-at-home mom the rest of your life, but you’re going to be an educated one.” So, going to college was just like the next step. He never said I had to be a career woman, and I think that was … I just, like I-
SK: Because it’s supposed to be about choice.
DB: Yes.
SK: That’s something, that often, when you talk about women’s empowerment, you talk about feminism, there is sometimes a bias among women who connect with those movements about what women do. I think what’s so important is it doesn’t matter what you decide to do, it’s that you chose to do it, and that you were educated and you had enough information to make that choice in a way that was yours.
DB: Exactly.
SK: And I love that you brought that up. That’s come up in my life from time to time. I’ve had to think about it. Just because maybe something wouldn’t have been my choice, actually doesn’t mean that that was a bad choice for her to make. All I care about is if she’s educated and in a place where she felt like she could make that choice, you know, in the right way. So it’s interesting.
DB: I think what’s also interesting is all three of us have talked about our fathers. I really just want to say that, when we said how do we start the conversation with the executives, how do we get it going, and I know this came up in the conference as well … You know, there are men in all of our industries, in all of these executive positions, with daughters. The conversation can start and open there. What does your daughter do for a living? What does your daughter do? Is she in college, is she in high school, is she a CEO of something?
SK: How would you like her experience to be if she worked in your company? Because sometimes I think it does have to become, you know, again it’s changing, but become personal in a way. Oh, I didn’t think about that. How would you like for when she goes into the workplace, or if she’s in the workplace, for her to be treated? You know how smart, intelligent, how interesting she is … How would you like for her to be treated? And I think that is one way of looking at it.
DB: I also think it would be interesting to say to a man who may have sons and daughters, and say, do you think there is a gender pay gap? I mean, it would be interesting if you had two kids that are are out in the workforce, how would you feel about your daughter making $.70 to the dollar? You know, maybe he thinks his daughter is smarter and more successful. But I think these are really interesting ways to open up some dialogue that could break the ice and get some conversations going. That I think can really bring the point home to them, literally home, because all three of us had dads who really encouraged us to break all barriers.

Hail Stowell, the man who made Schmeichel – Don
Tim Nash May 8, 2019 0 Comments
Wolves favourite Mike Stowell has been hailed as the man who has ‘made’ Kasper Schmeichel. Schmeichel has this week made his 300th League appearance for Leicester City in a game where he was powerless to stop Vincent Kompany scoring a ‘worldie’ past him from 30 yards to give Manchester City the edge in the race for the Premier League title with a vital 1-0 win at the Etihad. After eight years at the King Power Stadium, the 32-year-old Denmark international is recognised as one of the best goalkeepers in the top flight. During the whole of that time, Stowell, 54,…
Farmer recalls Wolves’ greatest comeback
The two amazing Champions League semi-finals this week have proved football’s incredible capacity for comebacks. Liverpool’s 4-0 win over Barcelona after being 3-0 down in the first leg will never be forgotten. Their opponents in the Champions League final, Tottenham, have joined them at the pinnacle of club football competition after retrieving a 2-0 deficit on the night against Ajax to triumph 3-2 to set up only the second all-English final. These moments are now marked indellibly in fans’ memory banks forever. One such moment in older Wolves supporters’ recall is the 1958 FA Youth Cup final. Trailing 5-1 from…
Nuno is Wolves’ best signing – Thelwell
Kevin Thelwell has hailed Wolves’ best signing – and it’s none of the stars who have performed so impressively on the pitch to clinch seventh spot in the Premier League. Wolves’ sporting director is convinced head coach Nuno Espirito Santo is the biggest reason why the team has made such rapid strides over the last two years. When the Portuguese took over in May 2017, Wolves had just finished 15th in the Championship. Since then the transformation has been nothing short of astonishing as Wolves won the Championship in his first season in charge and are now confirmed as the…
Liverpool expect treble boost to face Wolves in decider
Liverpool expect to have three major players back to face Wolves in the Premier League title decider this Sunday. Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino sat out of the historic 4-0 win over Barcelona on Tuesday night which put the Reds into the Champions League final, while Alex Oxlade Chamberlain was rested. Salah was recovering from concussion suffered in the game against Newcastle, while Firmino’s muscle injury problems kept him out. Left back Andy Robertson was unable to start the second half against Barca because of a calf issue. Speaking after the game, Robertson said: “It doesn’t feel the best at…

J.Lo Goes On ‘TODAY’ Show To Talk About The End Of Her 10-Day Challenge
She's going to start it up again soon.
Axelle/Bauer-GriffinGetty Images
Jennifer Lopez went on the TODAY show to talk about how she feels now that her 10-day challenge is over.
J.Lo says she doesn't really crave the foods (carbs and sugar) she cut out on the diet anymore.
J.Lo says she's going to "eat normal" for five days, then start the challenge again.
Jennifer Lopez wrapped up her 10-day, low-carb, no-sugar challenge on Wednesday, and now, she's opening up about what she really thinks about going carb- and sugar-free.
J.Lo went on the TODAY show Friday morning to talk about her experience, and it turns out, she was pretty surprised about her new attitude on carbs: "I was, like, I’m going get up in the morning and have oatmeal," she said, talking about the morning after the challenge was done. "I just needed some carbs. And then I only had three bites and I was like eh, I’m done with this."
J.Lo said she just didn’t crave the foods she skipped on the challenge when she could finally have them again. And, get this: She said she just wasn’t as hungry anymore. "I kept dreaming about what I was going to eat," she said. "But you get to a point where you can’t fit as much down."
But J.Lo said her boyfriend Alex Rodriguez, who also did the challenge, "went crazy" on the formerly-forbidden foods when it was over (A.Rod posted some proof of that via Instagram—apparently he chowed down on pizza, wings, french fries, and pastries, post-challenge).
Top this. How did you break the #10daychallenge?
A post shared by Alex Rodriguez (@arod) on Jan 31, 2019 at 7:00pm PST
But J.Lo didn't only celebrate with oatmeal: Thursday night she shared an Instagram Story of an entire Puerto Rican feast, which included carb-heavy rice, beans, and fried plantains. (She captioned that photo "worth the wait," btw).
Jennifer Lopez / Instagram: @jlo
Overall, Jennifer said the experience was "amazing" and she loves how much other people have gotten into it. "Everywhere we go, people come up to us and say, 'I’m going to start it!'" she said. And J.Lo said she liked the whole thing so much, she’s planning to do it again—sooner, rather than later.
"I’m going to do five days with eating normal and then I’m going to go back to doing it for another 10 days," she says. "Maybe people can join me on the second round."
And of course, J.Lo couldn't pass up the opportunity to rave about how amazing Hoda Kotb, who also participated in her challenge, looks. "You can really see just how much of a difference taking sugar out of your diet not only makes you fee but what it does to your body," says J.Lo.
So I guess now there's only one question: Will you be joining J.Lo for her next round of the challenge? You've got five days to decide.

“Tokyo Declaration on Universal Health Coverage: All Together to Accelerate Progress towards UHC”
Statement December 14, 2017
Universal Health Coverage Forum 2017
We, the Co-Organizers of the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Forum, reaffirm our commitment to accelerating progress towards UHC, and to achieving health for all people, whoever they are, wherever they live, by 2030.
We recognise the integrated and indivisible nature of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which balance the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development.
We reiterate the importance of target 3.8 of the SDGs, which seeks to provide all people with access to high-quality, integrated, “people-centred” health services. This must include promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative health services, as well as safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines. We want to ensure that people do not suffer financial hardship when accessing services. We emphasize the importance of protecting all people from health risks such as outbreaks, and responding rapidly to outbreaks and crises.
We acknowledge that health is a human right and that UHC is essential to health for all and to human security. We adhere to the principle of Leaving No One Behind, which requires special effort to design and deliver health services informed by the voices and needs of people. This prioritizes the most vulnerable members of the world’s population — children and women — those affected by emergencies, refugees and migrants, and marginalized, stigmatized and minority populations, so often living in extremely difficult circumstances.
We affirm that UHC is both technically and financially feasible. UHC produces high returns across the life course and drives employment and inclusive economic growth. UHC is one of the cornerstones of the Sustainable Development Agenda and contributes to progress towards all SDGs. Without UHC, billions of people are at risk of losing the opportunity to live full and productive lives, and hundreds of millions risk impoverishment in their pursuit of health care. Millions of people live in countries and states considered to be fragile. Attaining UHC in these settings requires strong intersectoral collaboration.
We reaffirm and build on the G7 Ise-Shima Vision for Global Health, the TICAD VI Nairobi Declaration, which acknowledges the “UHC in Africa: A Framework for Action.” We also build on the G20 Berlin Declaration, which acknowledges the UHC2030 “Healthy systems for universal health coverage – a joint vision for healthy lives,” as well as other regional and international declarations. All of these stress the need to build and strengthen resilient and sustainable health systems and prepare for public health emergencies in an integrated way. In this context, we note the progress that has been made to reinforce preparedness and responses to public health emergencies, including formalization of coordination mechanisms among the World Health Organization (WHO) and other relevant United Nations (UN) partners, and funding mechanisms for emergencies like the WHO’s Contingency Fund for Emergencies (CFE) and the World Bank’s Pandemic Emergency Financing Facility (PEF).
We welcome the release of the 2017 UHC Global Monitoring Report. According to this report, much remains to be done to achieve UHC:
At least half of the world’s population still does not have access to quality essential services to protect and promote health.
800 million people are spending at least 10 percent of their household budget on outof-pocket health care expenses, and nearly 100 million people are being pushed into extreme poverty each year due to health care costs.
Concerned that progress towards UHC is too slow, despite the efforts made in each country, we call for greater commitment to accelerate progress towards UHC.
Strengthening global momentum towards UHC
By 2023, the midpoint towards 2030, the world needs to extend essential health coverage to 1 billion additional people and halve to 50 million the number of people being pushed into extreme poverty by health expenses.
We commit to monitoring progress towards UHC as part of the UN SDG review process by issuing global monitoring reports regularly, and reviewing key findings at the subsequent UHC Forum. We welcome the use of a uniform measurement methodology for UHC indicators in the 2017 Global Monitoring Report. We also emphasize the importance of strengthening the breadth and depth of data at the national and subnational levels, including disaggregated data, to inform evidence-based policymaking and to assess progress, as well as strengthening the capacity of local stakeholders to analyse and use data.
In response to the recommendations of the UN Secretary-General’s High-Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic Growth, and as articulated in the Dublin Declaration on Human Resources for Health, we call upon all relevant stakeholders to expand and transform investments in the health and social workforce for UHC, emphasizing the empowerment of women and youth employment.
To maintain a high level of political momentum on UHC, we welcome the 40th anniversary conference in 2018 of the Alma Ata Declaration, from the International Conference on Primary Health Care. We also welcome the decision to designate December 12 of each year as International UHC Day and support the UN high-level meeting on UHC in 2019. Furthermore, we will support stronger global leadership at high level of the UN system to promote UHC.
Accelerating country-led process towards UHC
We commit to jointly mobilizing political leadership around the world so that countries develop their own roadmaps towards UHC, with clearly indicated targets, indicators and specific plans. We support the increased alignment of efforts among all development partners through country-led, multi-stakeholder coordination platforms in line with the UHC2030 Global Compact principles. We also promote country-level engagement with diverse stakeholders from non-governmental and private sector partners to enhance shared ownership and accountability. We welcome the contribution of international initiatives such as the Tokyo Joint UHC Initiative, the UHC Partnership, Providing for Health Partnership, and the Global Financing Facility (GFF), which aim to strengthen country systems and platforms for UHC and preparedness in a collaborative manner.
In pursuing UHC, we commit to targeted investments to prevent, detect and respond to disease outbreaks and other emergencies including surveillance systems in order to safeguard health security and international collaboration under the International Health Regulations (2005). In doing so, we will promote a focus on fragile and conflictaffected settings to ensure UHC financing in such settings. We also commit to investing in building a sound foundation for healthy societies with equitable access to social services such as water, sanitation, nutrition, housing, and education, and mainstreaming gender throughout policies and programmes.
On financing for UHC, we support a strong dialogue between the Ministries of Health and Finance to mobilize and manage domestic resources to increase public funding and reduce out-of-pocket payments. It is also critical for countries to mobilise citizen and community platforms, strengthening their budgetary processes, tracking expenditures to achieve value and equity of health spending, and enhancing the efficiency of health expenditures.
Effective and innovative financing tools offered by development partners, such as the GFF and World Bank’s IDA, also complement domestic resources. In this regard, we welcome IDA18’s strong policy commitment to the global health agenda, which was supported by Japan and other donors, and look forward to further mobilization of IDA funds to promote UHC. We also call for expanded financing and increased alignment to support UHC by all development partners, particularly multilateral development banks and Global Health Initiatives such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (The Global Fund) and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and foundations such as Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. In order to further promote financing for UHC, we will explore holding a high-level dialogue with Health and Finance Ministries by 2019.
Innovation for UHC
We recognise that realising our ambition requires going beyond “business as usual,” and commit to developing and supporting strategies, policies and systems at the global and country level to harness and sustain the transformative potential of innovation. This commitment recognises the need for countries to articulate their local priorities for UHC and share best practices.
We also commit to improving access to medicines and vaccines through collaborative work and research and development, including during health emergencies building on platforms such as the Global Health Innovative Technology Fund (GHIT), the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness and Innovations (CEPI) and the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI).
Accelerating progress towards UHC requires systematic learning from country experience through platforms such as UHC2030, increased focus on policy coherence, addressing implementation bottlenecks, and harnessing the potential of system innovations and effective and affordable technology in the health sector. We commit to stimulate learning on innovation for UHC by accelerating the generation and sharing of critical knowledge by building on and enhancing coordination of existing and future networks.
We look forward to future convenings and sharing the progress made towards UHC with the Global Community, in the context of the World Health Assembly, the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development and the UN General Assembly, upcoming high-level UHC meetings such as the 2018 40th Anniversary of Alma Ata, and at the next UHC Forum. We extend our deep appreciation to the Government of Japan for its commitment to supporting the continuation of the UHC Fora in the future.

Poem: "The Girl He Brought Home" - The Wordsmith's Forge

Poem: "The Girl He Brought Home"

*grin*
Goood bogeyman!
From: ysabetwordsmith Date: January 5th, 2012 07:47 pm (UTC) (Link)
He can be fierce at need, but underneath, I think he has a heart of solid chocolate.
I'm glad you liked this poem.

Indeed. I expect that "security blanket" is not in his usual job description. :)
One of the things I'd wondered about Melinda was whether she'd grow up a "normal" magic-oblivious human, or whether she'd turn out to be "family", as the daughter of the house described one of her friends. Answered! I do increasingly wonder, though, whether there is actually a substantial number of "normal" humans, or mostly an awful lot of people who don't talk to each other about the things they think are too weird for other people to believe.

>>Indeed. I expect that "security blanket" is not in his usual job description.<<
True. His usual job is all about being scary -- banging on pipes, eating the bad boys and girls, being one of the things that go bump in the night. That's part of his nature, the way the wolf is part of the woods. But he's a person, and he has free will. Although there are some constraints he can't or won't break, he can usually manage to ensure that justice gets done.
At home, he can let down his guard some and be himself, show the gentler side. Sometimes, though, somebody succeeds in pulling that out when he wasn't intending to show it. *chuckle* I bet that girl had him wrapped around her little finger before he was out the door of her parents' house.
>>One of the things I'd wondered about Melinda was whether she'd grow up a "normal" magic-oblivious human, or whether she'd turn out to be "family", as the daughter of the house described one of her friends. <<
Her affinity for reptiles seems to be innate, along with her ability to see through the glamour that usually protects many of the mystical beings from human notice. A vivid encounter can easily cement that into permanent interaction with the shadow world.
>>I do increasingly wonder, though, whether there is actually a substantial number of "normal" humans, or mostly an awful lot of people who don't talk to each other about the things they think are too weird for other people to believe.<<
Likely so. It's kind of a spectrum: those who WILL not notice regardless of what goes on around them, those who catch a glimpse now and then but dismiss it, those who glimpse and wonder but may or may not talk about it, those who encounter the mysterious and follow it, and those who grow up with it. The two realms interpenetrate, but not everyone has (or wants) access to both. There are people who can live their whole lives and never meet anything out of the ordinary because it's just not in their reality, people who have the potential for both and can choose, people who would never find it on their own but can notice it if they go somewhere more active, and so forth.

I bet that girl had him wrapped around her little finger before he was out the door of her parents' house.
I would not be surprised if the kids at Monster House were the first human ones to whom he was a friendly figure rather than a scary monster. (But really, I know ~nothing about his existance before moving in with the narrator, so that may be way off-base.) Being a bit of a marshmallow about a kid who needs you is ... well, it's pretty reasonable for a human. (Where do bogeymen come from?)
It's kind of a spectrum
Aye, but what does that curve look like?
>>Where do bogeymen come from?<<
He said: "I was born human. My mother threw me in a dustbin right after I was born. I was found and nursed by a night mare, and this is what I became."
Well. I had no idea. There could be different origins for other bogeymen, or it could be consistent, or even some of each. Monsters do run to variety, though.
Is that ... what his foster-mother expected or intended?
If the bogeyman has more to say about his life before he met the narrator, I would be most curious.
Does he have/use/want a name? None of the characters in the main family of the series are mentioned by name that I can think of, where various others are. (I suspect reference by relationship is easier for new readers.) I've been assuming that the humans have mundane names, and I imagine the little old lady ghost does, though the family might not know it, but I've no idea about the nonhumans.
Re: O_o
>>Is that ... what his foster-mother expected or intended?<<
I don't know for sure. It seems that contact with the mystical expands a person's opportunities. I doubt that there is a predetermined path, but there are likely to be strong possibilities. Major events change people, and close contact with the mystical can make those changes more dramatic. So it was likely that he would change and no longer be ordinary. The form it took for him was probably a combination of his foster-mother's influence, his personal experience, and his innate personality.
>>If the bogeyman has more to say about his life before he met the narrator, I would be most curious.<<
Me too. Maybe it will pop up in some fishbowl, or elsewhen.
>>Does he have/use/want a name?<<
Not that I know of so far. For some reason, many of the characters in this series just don't seem to use names much. I think it gives them kind of an 'everyone' vibe. It's interesting because characters are usually forthcoming with their names when I write about them; it's often the first thing I get. When they don't, and it's in a cluster like this, I tend to respect that.
>>I would not be surprised if the kids at Monster House were the first human ones to whom he was a friendly figure rather than a scary monster.<<
It could be. Then again, he might have had another household prior to finding the narrator.
>> (But really, I know ~nothing about his existance before moving in with the narrator, so that may be way off-base.) <<
He hasn't been greatly talkative with me either, thus far.
>>Being a bit of a marshmallow about a kid who needs you is ... well, it's pretty reasonable for a human. <<
*ponder* Looking at the poems so far, the monsters mostly seem pretty contextual: they are gentle and friendly with people they know, either gentle or invisible to people who are decent or haven't bothered them, but can be anywhere from pesky to vicious with people who annoy or threaten them.
>>Aye, but what does that curve look like?<<
I suspect a bell curve, though possibly a squashed one here or there. The "will not see" end may be higher than a regular bell end, for instance.

Davos 2016: Ease of doing business still work in progress, says FM Jaitley
Jaitley also said the political opposition is unlikely to obstruct the reform process, including on the direct and indirect tax reforms, and he was hopeful about the GST getting through as well which is one of the few reforms that has been held up.
Davos: Confident of pushing GDP growth higher and continuing the reforms agenda, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Saturday said one main reform which is still work in progress is 'ease of doing business' in India and steps are under way on that front.
He said India's ranking has improved on ease of doing business in the last one year, but more needs to be done on that front and necessary steps are being undertaken.
Speaking here at 'The Global Economic Outlook' session on the last day of the WEF Annual Meeting, Jaitley said GST remains very high on the government's priority while the new bankruptcy law is another major reform measure, going ahead.
The panelists said India remains a bright spot in the global economy with a growth rate of over 7 percent, the highest for any large economy.
To a question on whether all was going well for India and whether there were at all any problems, Jaitley said there are "quite a lot" still and one of the basic problems remains that a large population still lives in poverty.
"To take them out of poverty, we need a sustained high level of growth for a long time. There is an increasing realisation in India that given some favourable conditions, we can grow at a much faster pace," he said.
Besides global factors, Jaitley said, there have been two successive bad monsoons which have hurt rural demand and therefore, the growth rate.
"On global situation, oil price has been quite helpful, but shrinkage of exports has been an adversity," he said.
Jaitley said the government has taken a number of steps and some more are in the pipeline, including some legislative reforms.
"If we get through with that, we can grow at a much faster pace in coming years."
Asked about his high priority areas, the finance minister said, "I think what is extremely important is that all steps that the government has taken have been in one direction. We have not made any mistake.
"States have also become very competitive and that is also a very good news for India.
"Also, it is only one or two legislation, including GST, that has been held up, but it is very high on our priority.
The direct tax reforms we are undertaking should not have any problems. We are also hopeful of the indirect tax reform.
Then, we have new bankruptcy law. "One main reform which is still work in progress is ease of doing business in India. We did not have a great track record on that, but our rankings have improved there also.
Still, it remains a work in progress and we will continue to take steps on that front," he said.
On technology, Jaitley agreed that the new trends in this area and the fourth industrial revolution would indeed benefit India.
"Indians over the last one decade or so took naturally to IT. This was because of energy unleashed within and outside the country.
"The new Startup India campaign is targeted at that again. We have announced tax breaks and many more benefits and the government will adopt a no-interference approach. These measures would unleash the entrepreneurial energy of Indians in the technology space," he said.
Jaitley's co-panelists in the session include IMF chief Christine Lagarde, British Chancellor of Exchequer George Osborne, Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda and Swiss banking giant Credit Suisse's CEO Tidjane Thiam.

The 2019 Special Olympics will be taking place in a few weeks, from 14 until 21 March, in Abu Dhabi, which is located in the United Arab Emirates. Joining us on the couch to discuss it is Special Olympics South Africa CEO Ancilla Smith and one of South Africa’s athletes that will be participating at the 2019 Special Olympics Mesuli Ncunyana, who will be participating as a Golfer.
There has been a campaign that was started called #BackOurTeam in order for South Africans to help with the sponsoring of the athletes, and get behind them. There have been a number of big name celebrities who also gone on to show their support of campaign, such as Loyiso Bala, Kim Jayde, and AKA amongst many others.
The Special Olympics never seems to get as much attention as it deserves, as South Africa has had many athletes who have participated and done us proud over the years, and one such athlete is Mesuli Ncunyana, who is a former gold medallists, and participant this year. His family has even shared that the Special Olympics has helped to play a large role in his life, helping him to regain his confidence in every aspect of his life, such as at home, school and in sports.

Wisconsin Governor Issues Executive Order on ‘Gender Identity or Expression’ on First Day in Office
In one of his first acts in office, Gov. Tony Evers (D-WI) signed an executive order seeking to prohibit discrimination on the basis of “gender identity or expression” in state agencies.
Executive Order #1 states that it “is the expressed policy of my administration that the executive branch should prevent discrimination and harassment against any class of citizens because of age, race, religion, color, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression,” and so forth.
The order is not yet available online, likely because Evers was just sworn in Monday, but he posted a picture of it to his Facebook page.
“In addition to the excitement of taking the oath of office today, I had the opportunity to sign my first two executive orders as governor. These orders prevent discrimination in state agencies and recognize the importance of state employees,” Ever said in a Facebook post. “Each person deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. This fosters sound government, society, and business, and it’s just the right thing to do.”
According to The Capital Times, the order states that any recipients of government contracts or grants can only hire on the basis of merit, and requires the Equal Employment Opportunity office to develop programs that “emphasize harassment prevention and cultural diversity awareness.”
The executive order was celebrated by several progressive organizations, including the Wisconsin Human Rights Campaign (HRC).
“Discrimination in any form is wrong, and through his actions today—signing his first executive order since taking office—Gov. Evers continues to demonstrate that he will fight day in and day out to uphold the Wisconsin values of fairness, justice, and equality,” said HRC Wisconsin State Director Wendy Strout in a press release.
“We were proud to turn out LGBTQ voters in November to help elect Evers, and thank Fair Wisconsin for their ongoing work to end anti-LGBTQ discrimination across our state,” she added, noting that she looks forward to helping “pass legislation that will finally safeguard protections for transgender Wisconsinites, who are still denied basic and explicit protections from discrimination in the workplace, housing, and public spacing.”
Fair Wisconsin Executive Director Megin McDonell said Evers “heard his constituents loud and clear and took action to protect LGBTQ people from discrimination in the workplace.”
“This executive order modernizes our state’s internal policies to make sure Wisconsin government employees are judged solely on their job performance, not who they are or who they love,” she said. “Our state is at its strongest when we’re all free to work hard, earn a decent living, and go about our lives without fear of discrimination.”
Evers’ second executive order calls on state agencies to “actively work to recognize the valuable contributions of state employees, promote positive morale, and foster a collaborative work environment.”

State Senator Rob McColley Honored with 3rd Annual Taxpayer Torch Award
June 19, 2019 June 18, 2019 Beth Lear
COLUMBUS, Ohio – State Sen. Rob McColley (R-Napoleon) received the Taxpayer Torch Award from Americans for Prosperity of Ohio (AFP-OH) on Tuesday. The award is given to a lawmaker who “shows leadership through policies that break down barriers to opportunity,” says AFP-OH.
Issues addressed by the senator that earned him the Taxpayer Torch Award include civil asset forfeiture, occupational licensing reform, and regulation reduction.
Lt. Gov. Jon Husted was the first recipient of the Taxpayer’s Torch Award, and was on hand to introduce State Sen. McColley.
“It’s very important to have allies when you’re trying to make change. The ‘establishment’ way of doing things is very hard to change. And you have to pull together allies who are like-minded, who share the same cause, the same goals. When we work together we can achieve big things,” Husted said.
“I appreciate the fact that there is an award to champion people who do this because I really believe that in society, you get what you celebrate. I was honored to be the first recipient,” he added.
Husted shared a story about a young man who was born disabled with an undeveloped arm and created a program using a 3-D printer to develop prosthetics for people in need. The Ohio Secretary of State’s office began receiving complaints about this young man’s business demanding that it be shut down, that regulations be used to stop his business.
“I called Rob McColley and said, Rob, will you work with us on this?” Husted shared. “And he said, ‘Absolutely, tell me where I gotta be, tell me what I’m gonna do.’ And that’s the kind of can-do attitude of this year’s award recipient.”
After thanking Husted and his staff, Sen. McColley shared a story of his own. “I was talking with my former staffer the other day, and I asked her, ‘What’s one of the overriding lessons you took when you left my office?'”
She smiled and replied: “I left with a healthy skepticism of big government.”
McColley was proud of that, saying it was “probably the most valuable lesson I can leave with any of my staff members.”
There were several key bills that Sen. McColley mentioned during his speech. House Bill 347 in 2015 reformed civil asset forfeiture. He described it as a method for the government to take private property by simply accusing someone of a crime.
“So we dared to stand up for the presumption of innocence and our Constitution,” declared McColley.
Senate Bill 255 was the next key piece of legislation. It reformed the occupational licensing system in Ohio. More than 250 jobs required government permission through licensure in the Buckeye State. That is more than 20 percent of the workforce in Ohio.
The most recent piece of legislation that helped the senator earn the Taxpayer Torch Award is Senate Bill 1, which, if passed by the Ohio House of Representatives in its current form, will cut government agency regulations by 30 percent in three years.
“Ohioans deserve champions who are innovative, bold and willing to take on issues that challenge entrenched interests,” said AFP-OH Director Micah Derry. “Senator Rob McColley has been doing just that his entire legislative career, and I couldn’t be more proud to present him the 2019 Taxpayers’ Torch Award.”

Troy Davis Faces Execution Fourth, Likely Last, Time
September 8, 2011 MATTHEW CHARLES CARDINALE Leave a comment
(APN) ATLANTA — Troy Davis, the Georgia man whose death row case has drawn international
attention, has again been scheduled for execution for September 21, 2011, but advocates
hope to convince the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles to grant last-minute clemency.
Davis was convicted of shooting a police officer, Mark MacPhail, in Savannah in 1989, but since then, seven of
nine witnesses have recanted their testimony against Davis, and two other witnesses have
implicated another individual as the murderer.
This is the fourth time Davis has had an execution date, although this time he has probably
exhausted his appeals.
Most recently, the Supreme Court of the US ordered a hearing in the trial court as to whether
Davis could prove his innocence claims. But the trial court ruled against Davis, setting him
back on a path where a new execution date was only a matter of time.
“We are focused right now on educating people about the doubts that continue to persist,
encouraging people to make concerns heard to the Board of Pardons and Paroles, who has ability
to weigh in and prevent the execution and really step in in a situation where the legal process
has failed to alleviate some doubts that Troy Davis is guilty for a crime with which he could
pay with his life,” Laura Moye, Death Penalty Abolition Campaign coordinator for Amnesty International
USA, told Atlanta Progressive News.
“The Board has very wide discretion at what they can look to to grant relief, they are not confined by the
narrow parameters of the legal process, this narrow focus on process and procedure that has hampered
Troy’s ability to have his innocence claims taken seriously,” Moye said.
Meanwhile, despite the fact that the Board previously ruled against Davis, there are at least two
factors which may lead to a different ruling this time. First, three of the five Board members are
new to the Board and have not heard Davis’s case before; and second, there are two new witnesses who
have implicated another man as the culprit.
One witness, Benjamin Gordon, implicated another man, his relative, Sylvester Coles, as the killer.
Meanwhile, another woman says she witnessed to Coles admitting to her that he shot MacPhail.
When the Supreme Court of the US granted Davis a hearing in the trial court on his innocence claims,
Justice Anthony Scalia dissented, calling the new hearing a “fool’s errand.” In retrospect, it appears
to some extent, he was right.
“What the problem with the legal system has been is it has been so focused on procedure, it hasn’t been
asking a more fundamental quesiton which is can we rely on the conviction?” Moye said.
“Troy Davis was given an enormous task of proving innocence at the evidentiary hearing in Savannah
last summer. He was given a task that was almost impossible to achieve without physical evidence,
and with witnesses that the judge didn’t want to believe,” Moye said.
Davis first faced execution in July 2007, but the Board granted a ninety day stay on July 16 so it could review
Davis’s case further. In the meantime, the Supreme Court of Georgia granted a review of Davis’s case,
which Davis later lost. The Board later also ruled against Davis.
Davis faced execution a second time in September 2008, but the Supreme Court of the US granted a stay on
September 23, to allow time to consider an appeal the question of whether to grant a new trial, which was
later rejected.
Davis then faced execution again a third time in October 2008, but the 11th Circuit federal court stayed
the execution on October 24 connected to Davis’s innocence claims, which were different than his appeals or requests for
a new trial.
“Psychologicly it must be a torturous process to have someone repeatedly come close to their death. Most
murders aren’t even like that,” Moye said.

This is the fourth time Davis has had an execution date, although this time he has probably exhausted his appeals. So, this will likely be the last time; either he will be pardoned or he will be executed.

My blog is worth $0.00.
list season: the top 10 songs on "funeral"
you know it, i know it, bethanne knows it. funeral by the arcade fire was the best album of last year. so, in a move that usually isn't typical of many bloggers, i'm going to skip back an entire calendar year, and give you my favorite tracks from this classic album.
10. "haiti"-
out of the dark tracks, the anthemic tracks, the uplifiting ones, a pop song doesn't really fit. even though it's one of the best pop songs of the year.
9. "neighborhood #3 (power out)"-
doing a list like this is like ranking your children. it's blasphemous, but i told myself that i was going to do it. i'd have to say that the only downside to this song is the vocals. i can't sing along to screaming. haha.
8. "neighborhood #2 (laika)"-
everytime i play this song around my sister/roommate, she goes, "what the hell is that white guy screaming about?" once again, you can't sing along to screaming. but, like "#3", this is a good song, and it's agonizing for me to point out the things i dislike about the songs.
7. "une annee sans lamiere"-
i can't sing along to french. maybe if it were spanish..
6. "rebellion (lies)"-
when the drum kick from "haiti" continues, everyone knows where it's going. the 90's alt-rock-equse bassline kicks in, and win's calmest vocals on the record float through the first verse. when win's vocals get more impassionate, i get goosebumps.
5. "neighborhood #4 (7 kettles)"-
maybe i like this track because it screams "fresh cherries from yakima"! the sparse acoustic guitar line, the kettles in the background, the cymbal flourishes. it sounds like a song i'd record if i had the money and extraordinarily talented musicians around me. plus, the lyric "you can't raise a baby on motor oil" is obvious, but uplifiting at the same time.
4. "in the backseat"-
one of the best album closers ever, it has regine on vocals, and her wail at the end give me chills. the musicial build-up to the end makes for the most climactic moment on the album.
3. "wake up"-
uplifting record. i can't say enough good things about them, so i won't even start. but, i do have to say the tempo change at the end to the motown-esque jam is one of the best moments i've heard in indie rock in a loooong time.
2. "neighborhood #1 (tunnels)"-
without a doubt the best lyrical performance on the album ("yeah, i'll build a tunnel, from my window to yours"), the narrative of building a city on top of the snowed-in town is probably the best concept i've ever heard, and i'm jealous i didn't write it.
1. "crown of love"-
a perfect song. harmonies, melodies, instrumentation, everything. especially when they speed up the tempo at the end.
posted by douglas martin @ 2:22 PM
THANK YOU FOR PUTTING CROWN OF LOVE AT #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay, i'll stop now.

Public Art: Time-Place-Meaning
May 17, 2017 /0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Geralda Miller
It’s no secret that I enjoy going to Burning Man. If the Black Rock Desert dries in time, this will be my tenth consecutive year attending the event. It was the large-scale art installations that were so alluring that I looked forward to returning each year, and still do. I’m awestruck by the massive sculptures – some shooting fire, others are intricately lit and dance with LED light patterns. It’s a playground of spectacular art installations that allow the 70,000 people who attend the weeklong event to become physically or emotionally engaged. While taking a group last week on a tour of Reno’s downtown public art, I commented that I believed Burning Man was a good example of how public art should be. Her response was – is it public art if you must buy a ticket to see it.
I love it when I’m challenged to think critically about something. Right now, I’m trying to understand public art and its meaning. My personal examination began last month after attending a Passover dinner where this was the topic of conversation while enjoying dessert. Our dinner was right after Reno City Council decided to temporarily place the Space Whale sculpture, which is a life-size, stain glass humpback whale and calf that was first seen last year at Burning Man, at City Plaza. The decision caused lots of chatter. I’ve heard and read pros and cons. Many asked why is the city using their money for this instead of using that money for something like repairing potholes. Reno Gazette-Journal newsman Mark Robison wrote a great article that explains that a small portion of room tax must go to public art. Whoever the person was that came up with the idea of using part of the tax money from tourists for the city’s public art, I applaud you! Others complained that Reno has too much Burning Man art. And to those people I suggest you come on one of our downtown public art tours we give and see the variety of public art that’s here. For a city our size, the collection is quite impressive. But back to Passover dessert.
I sat at the table across from Paul Baker Prindle, Director of Galleries at the University of Nevada, Reno. While enjoying my first blackberries of the season, Paul said he’d like to see more public art in Reno instead of outside art. Wait…what? I’d never heard this distinction before and now needed to understand the difference. It’s one with which I’m still trying to grasp. Public art engages the viewer whereas outside art is there simply to look at. Does this mean there has to be physical engagement or a visceral reaction for it truly to be considered public art? I’m reminded of a talk Paul hosted four years ago on public art. Women from Daily Tous Les Jours, a French Canadian design group, spoke about their installation in Montreal called 21 Swings. Twenty-one swings hung in Montreal’s entertainment district. When people would swing, instrumental sounds filled the air. As more people would swing, melodies and harmonies formed. It is described on their website as “an exercise in musical cooperation…thus stimulating a sense of community and ownership of space.” OK, now I’m having a lightbulb moment! Perhaps that’s the true meaning of public art — that which stimulates a sense of community and ownership of space.
I was awakened at that Passover dinner. I think my exploration and understanding of what is public art has only just begun. Paul is sharing books and articles with me on the topic and I now have plenty of reading material. It is with this acute lens that I will walk the Reno streets, examining our art collection. Does Reno’s public art stimulate a sense of community and ownership? Does it express our community values, heighten our awareness or challenge our assumptions? As you can tell, at this point I’ve still got more questions than answers on the topic. (I welcome your thoughtful comments.) What I do know for sure is that the quality of any artwork we have on display in our city must always be of the highest quality. And that doesn’t mean it has to be high art.
The Association for Public Art says: Public art is a reflection of how we see the world – the artist’s response to our time and place combined with our own sense of who we are.” Who are we, Reno? It’s obvious we’re becoming an arts hub and we’re the gateway to Burning Man and temporarily displaying some of its art. Now, let’s bring art like the 21 Swings here and develop a strong sense of play and community.

Reno is the SPOT for year-round art
August 1, 2016 /0 Comments/in Art Spot Reno /by Geralda Miller
It’s time to bid farewell to another July. I don’t have much time to sit back and relax because I’ve got more arts-related fun things to do. But I want to take a few minutes to reflect on the past 31 days that were called Artown.
I’m old school. Early in July, my good friend Toni Harris and I sat at her dining room table and marked in our Little Books all the events we wanted to check out. I was very happy to see, thanks to the Sierra Arts Foundation, a celebration of local artists of all genres on opening night. That has been one of the big voids in this month-long festival. Artown’s main goal is “to encourage local artist participation and highlight the best performers in northern Nevada” and they finally did that.
I made the mistake of forgetting to use insect repellent that first week and had the mosquito bites to show for it. But it was a great week to get a cultural infusion with the African Children’s Choir and the South African All Stars, featuring Bakithi Kumalo. Both were delightful concerts. My only disappointment was the dearth of diversity in the audience. It has me pondering: what is it going to take to get more people from racial and ethnic groups in Reno to participate in the arts? Arts and culture should be an important avenue for bridging racial strife. I’m getting tired of sitting in an audience for a culturally rich evening of music or dance with a preponderance of white faces over the age of 60. (It’s time to come up with a hashtag similar to #oscarssowhite. But I digress.)
I love Pops on the River – the fundraiser at Wingfield Park for the Reno Philharmonic where the orchestra performs a Broadway-inspired concert and people decorate tables and wear costumes. I’ve been attending for quite a few years now, humming along to my favorite show tunes while wearing a fun outfit. But I’m going to call it like it is – a confined crawl for elitist. So, if any of you reading this are against the themed downtown crawls, think about how much you love spending $450 or more for a table to decorate and planning your group’s costumes to parade around in and dance in a conga line.
We (Art Spot Reno) helped the businesses on Dickerson Road put on another successful open house called Discover Dickerson. Although it was a scorcher, people roamed the industrial arts district, familiarizing themselves with all that’s offered – ceramics, blacksmithing, jewelry making, bookselling, beer brewing, movie watching, auto repairing, global and urban dancing, gardening, and dining.
Of course I also had to attend the theatrical productions at the Reno Little Theater, Good Luck Macbeth and Brüka Theatre – all enjoyable performances.
While Artown is strong in performing arts, especially music, it’s still lacking in showcasing fine visual art. Thanks goodness for the annual Coeur d’Alene Art Auction, which was held at the Peppermill. I was especially drawn to James Bama’s realistic cowboy paintings and Fritz Scholder’s sincere, contemporary paintings of Native Americans. Costing approximately $30,000 each, none of these magnificent works came home with me. But I have the catalog. What a tribute it is to Reno to have this auction that’s considered the largest in the field of classic Western and American art. With around 750 bidders and 95 percent of the 313 pieces selling, sales exceeded $18 million.
Well, those were the highlights of my July. Yes, it was busy, but I can be just as busy enjoying the arts in Reno any other month of the year, and so can you. For good reason, our motto is “Reno is the SPOT for year-round art.” Make it yours, too.
Geralda Miller, Art Spot Reno Curator

2015 Reflection – Reno arts scene emanates joy and awe
January 4, 2016 /3 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Geralda Miller
Peruse the Internet and you’ll find one “best of 2015’ list after another — best movies, best books, best albums. It’s an easy way to reflect on the past year. Reviewing my 2015 calendar one last time, I can say there was a copious amount of exceptional arts events in Reno. Our motto is: “Reno is the SPOT for year round art” and this year truly confirmed that.
Between my business partner, Eric Brooks, theater critic Galen Watson and myself, we attended many openings, exhibits, plays and festivals. We didn’t have a strategy, just attended what interested us. There were some disappointments (and always will be), but Reno’s 2015 arts scene, for the most part, was enjoyable. I applaud those who brought newness — Off Beat Festival, Sculpture Fest and the Gateway Project. It’s events like these that allow us to confirm that Reno is filled with creative people and becoming an arts destination. I also commend Paul Baker Prindle, director of Sheppard Contemporary and University Galleries, for two notable exhibits that engaged wide and diverse audiences – “I Am My Brother’s Keeper,” and Tehching Hsieh: One Year Performance 1980 – 1981.
I’m also proud of the Midtown Mural Tour we started this year. The walk is a great way to view many artistic gems. I’m going to go all out here and say it’s the BEST mural tour in Reno.
That’s enough reflecting for me. I’ve got to start filling in my 2016 calendar. But please continue reading what Eric and Galen praised in 2015.
My New Year’s prediction (no crystal ball needed): It’s going to be a very busy 2016 in the arts!
Eric Brooks:
This last weekend marks my third year anniversary as a Renoite. Thank you for having me. It has been an incredible journey, with the path just beginning. As I reflect upon the last 12 months, I am in wonder of what was shown to us. 2015 was a whirlwind of receptions, pop-up’s, new events and the community coming out to engage with the art, artists, creating unique and lasting experiences. Here are my highlights out of a stunning schedule:
“Tehching Hsieh: One Year Performance 1980 – 1981” — Sheppard Contemporary showcased one of the most engaging exhibits of the year. Only the second time to be displayed in the U.S., we had a chance to experience this incredible piece April 16 – June 21. Mr. Hsieh was on hand for an artist talk and was happy to mingle with the crowds during the reception that followed. I sat near the back of the packed auditorium, there were times when the language and his soft tone made it hard to understand, but what came through loud and clear was his dedication to his craft. To see him discussing his life’s work, his passion and attention to detail, was moving – motivating. Two weeks later I returned to the exhibit on a lonely Wed. afternoon. I was alone in the room, surrounded by his face staring at me thousands of times, from every angle. The room was alive in silence. I sat down and tried to imagine the solitude he must have felt, the power he contained to endure. Those four walls were a lesson of struggle, the ability to conquer and move forward to the next. He made me want to be an artist.
OverUnder: “Blueprint of a Mother” — The inaugural Sculpture Fest took place over Mother’s Day weekend. Along with BELIEVE sitting under the Reno Arch, more than 15 sculptures, many interactive, were placed on the ReTRAC pads downtown. The festival also featured projections from Android Jones and introduced two new murals, one from Christina Angelina and my favorite in the city, “Blueprint of a Mother.” Erik Burke is one of the most prolific muralists in town and has been responsible for national and international muralists coming to Reno. This piece, in particular, is massive — 70 feet of pure love. Love for family and for Nevada. A portrait of his wife who had just given birth to their first child. It still brings shivers when I drive south on Virginia, pause at Plaza and look up.
Exhibit showing at the Nevada Museum of Art through Jan. 18.
“Late Harvest” – Nevada Museum of Art — “The exhibition seeks to simultaneously confirm—through historically-significant wildlife paintings—and subvert—through contemporary art and photography—viewers’ preconceptions of the place of animals in culture.” That quote is from the Nevada Museum of Art website. We had 18 days in January before this spectacle closed. This exhibit was right up my alley — taxidermy of the most unique. This is one of those shows that you needed to see. When I told someone about a lion cut in half and the insides were filled with quartz, the 3-D shooting wallpaper or the large stained glass windows, which on closer inspection were butterfly wings, it just didn’t translate. That just scratches the surface. I walked those rooms a dozen times and still left with new perspectives each time. My favorite was watching students, of all ages experience the installation with a sense of awe and wonder.
“Tiny Gems: A Series of Fleeting Experiences” — How about a show that takes place all over town and lasts only one night and it is highly interactive? Yes! Yes, as many times as you can ask me. Last July, Holland Project coordinated an evening of fleeting experiences, combining music, painting, writing, performance art, music, movement and a sense of magic. The experience started at the Planetarium then moved on to Chapel of the Bells, Old Post Office, Midtown Yoga and finished at Spectre. I joined the procession at the Old Post Office and was WOWED!! Yes, two exclamation points. There were piñatas to be smashed, tiny poems in a quiet, otherwise empty room for the taking, an intricate sign painted down a 20-foot hallway declaring, “I’m Going To Fall In Love With You One Day.” There was experimental music, bodies swaying in a perfect jilted texture to match the sounds bouncing around the dark concrete capsule we were sitting in. The evening continued to Midtown Yoga where glowing gowns lit one room and a bubble wrapped impromptu concert hall where everyone was offered a bottle of bubbles to fill the air. The best part of the evening was the look on every face I encountered – sheer joy. Not a sense of happiness or fun, it was joy, and I felt it for days after the event.
Galen Watson:
It has been a marvelous year for Reno Community Theater but ‘All good things must come to an end,’ wrote the father of English literature Geoffrey Chaucer in his poem “Troilus and Criseyde.” As this year marches inevitably to the conclusion of its own dramatic run, it seems appropriate for those of us who critique theater to pay homage to the dramatic arts. So, too, should we honor theaters, playwrights, casts, crews and those who work so hard to produce performances that inspire, provoke, amuse and entertain us.
This year, Reno Little Theater offered up Bruce Norris’ Pulitzer Prize winning “Clybourne Park” that provoked audiences with issues of race and gentrification, and questioned the meaning of community. And Steve Martin’s “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” tickled audiences as a thought-provoking comedy about cults of celebrity and the people we turn into rock stars: scientists, artists and even con men.
Over at Good Luck Macbeth Theatre Company, Chris Daniel’s “Last Call at the Old Southwest” explored LGBT history and the struggle for mainstream acceptance. Christian Durso’s “Shiner” was an ode to teen angst, hopelessness and the influence of Seattle Grunge rocker Kurt Cobain on a generation. George Brant’s off-Broadway play “Grounded” tackled the drone war, its moral dilemmas and the devastating effect on pilots who mete out death and destruction via a joystick.
Meanwhile at Brüka Theatre of the Sierra, the Broadway musical version of the British movie “The Full Monty” showed just how far a father would go for his son — even down to his birthday suit. David Lindsay-Abaire’s “Good People” spun a tale about choices in poverty-stricken South Philly: those who have them and those who give up theirs for the one they love. Finally, “Buttcracker 6: Underland” is a Brüka original holiday season ballet of the absurd – a parody of “The Nutcracker” and “Alice in Wonderland.” The “Buttcracker” series is sure to be Reno’s favorite alternative holiday show.
One of the reasons I love live theater is that it’s interactive. Actors communicate to the audience and the audience reacts in real time with joy, amazement, shock, sadness, introspection, glee or perhaps an epiphany or two. Every single one of the productions I critiqued spoke to me on some level. But now it’s time to choose my two favorites — not an easy task because there were many terrific productions and superb performances.
Good Luck Macbeth Theatre’s “Grounded” was truly a one-woman tour de force. Ashley James swaggered around the stage in a trim flight suit, exulting, pronouncing, sermonizing, reflecting, lamenting, and despairing as her character evolved during the one-hour-plus performance. She mesmerized the audience, circling and pacing like a predator on the hunt ,while a screen at the rear of the stage projected her deteriorating sanity. The solo show was timely, compelling, and powerful.

Brüka Theatre’s American version of “The Full Monty” was simply a superbly realized production. A splendid, nine-piece band rocked David Yazbek’s musical score from the loft, led by Music Director Tony Degeiso. The audience was treated to jazz, blues, rock and more from these professional cool cats while the actors sang, strutted their stuff and danced their pants off, literally. The performers were talented, poignant and honest. They left me uplifted and tapping my toes. I gave the production a resounding 5 G-strings.
There you have it, the theater year in review. This wasn’t all of the fine performances that played this year; rather, they’re the ones we had the privilege to critique. So ring the curtain down on 2015 and we hope to see all of you in 2016 at one of Reno’s theaters.

Reno: It’s a Different Day
September 16, 2015 /1 Comment/in Art Spot Reno /by Geralda Miller
I’ve returned from my 10-day adventure in the Black Rock Desert at Burning Man. It was exhilarating as ever, even with its sandstorms and freezing temperatures.
Once again, I had the pleasure of writing the art tour script and gave art tours to people who wanted to learn about the magnificent installations that spanned the playa. During the two-hour tour, I only was able to chat about approximately 40 of the 94 pieces that were awarded part of the $1.2 million Burning Man Arts bestowed this year. We tour guides were encouraged to make the tour our own, which meant I could emphasize some of the works that had a Reno connection. Get ready!
It was quite apropos that the first piece the art car passed was the FUNnel of Creation, which was built by Jeremy Evans and the Reno Core. With it’s brightly lit steel rods and fire poofers on top, it was a very impressive piece at night and one of my beacons to find my way back to camp. In close proximity was Pentamonium, built by Gary Gunderson in Seattle, Wash. Although it wasn’t built here, the 18-feet tall steel kinetic sculpture has a Reno connection. The Gateway Project, a coalition of nonprofits and community groups that is raising funds to bring artwork from the playa, is having a fundraiser on Oct 16. On Oct. 17, they’re celebrating the installation of Pentamonium in Idlewild Park.
Every year, a few installations become places for rituals, like weddings, and Mazu Goddess of the Empty Sea became one of those. In addition to telling the story of Mazu and highlighting its symbolic Chinese features, I told them that this temple was built at the Generator, a community art and builders space in Sparks. It was the ideal opportunity to talk about the 34,000 square feet workspace that operates on Burning Man’s 10 principles. Then we rode by David Boyer’s wind sculpture, Kinetic Forest, and I got to tell them to also walk around the arts district in downtown Reno and see his sculptures moving in the breeze.
Jeff Schaumberg and Laura Kimpton have shown us how powerful and precious words can be. This year, they planted a garden of affirmations: Dream, Be, OK, Live. This was my time to talk about all of the Burning Man art that has found a home in Reno, including our own word — Believe.
The Man is the focal point of this event, which drew approximately 70,000 people. He stood 60 feet-tall and stood on a 9-feet-tall base, which was covered with 32 hand-painted sideshow banners that were designed by Rex Norman, aka Killbuck, and painted at the Generator. At 320 linear feet, his whimsical bannerline probably set a world record.
Last year, Peter Hazel wowed us with his elegant daffodil mosaic. This year, the Verdi resident’s Manta Ray soared and glistened above the playa.
On Tuesday, Sept. 1, while Mayor Hillary Schieve delivered her state of the city address “It’s A New Day in Reno,” I had the pleasure of telling people from around the country and world the state of Reno’s arts scene. By the time they got off that art car, these participants knew Reno has a vibrant arts scene and is a major contributor to this festival’s art. I’m not going to go so far as to say it’s a new day, but I’ll definitely say it’s a different day.

Now to Move From Good to Great
May 7, 2015 /2 Comments/in Art Spot Reno /by Geralda Miller
I’m the type of person who has difficulty celebrating my birthday. Instead, it’s a time for introspection, and I ask myself lots of questions. Am I living my life to the fullest? Am I where I want to be in my life? And if not, why. They’re the kind of questions that can motivate or stifle. For me, they’ve been motivators.
As we celebrate the one-year anniversary of re-launching this website and coordinating the Art Walk, I have to ask similar questions. Is Art Spot where we want it to be? Have we successfully marketed Art Spot, continuing to reach more Reno residents? Are we doing all we can through the business to help build a community that embraces the arts? And if not, why.
When my business partner (Eric Brooks) and I started, our goal was to support businesses that support the arts. But we soon found out that we not only had to support businesses, we also had to support the artists. We designed a funky flag for businesses to hang. We built a super website that has an artist registry and a calendar, so everyone knows where to go and what to do in the arts.
In my evaluation of our first year, I’d say we’re doing a pretty good job. More businesses want local art on their walls and more artists are showing and SELLING their work. But I’m the over achiever and a “C” grade never was acceptable. So, that means we’ve got work to do to make sure there isn’t an empty seat in theaters, visual artists have ample avenues to show their work, and more Reno residents engage in the arts scene. I truly believe in our slogan — More Art Everywhere — and want more people in our city to realize that.
I’m going to do everything I can to get an “A” in art!

Let’s Walk the Walk
January 14, 2015 /4 Comments/in Art Spot Reno /by Geralda Miller
How time flies.
Last February, my business partner and I held our first of three dry runs for Art Walk Reno before our official launch in May. Eric Brooks and I were surprised how many people ventured out in the cold and said they had a good time. We knew we were on to something that would be beneficial for local artists and the downtown businesses that wanted to show art.
As long as I’ve lived here, I’ve always liked the idea of first Thursdays at the Nevada Museum of Art, but work obligations kept me from frequenting that well-attended event. I would drive by close to the 7 p.m. closing and regret not attending. For others, as myself, who weren’t able to escape their desks in time, but wanted to enjoy an evening downtown experiencing art, we thought an art walk through the Arts District would be the perfect extension to that cornerstone event. It worked.
Starting our event at Liberty Fine Art Gallery allows people to check out what’s happening at the museum and then walk around downtown, grab a bite and see more art. Let’s face it. Who’s ready to go home at 7 p.m.?
The venues showing art stretch a mile, from Sierra Arts Gallery and Metro Gallery in City Hall on Virginia Street to the east and McKinley Arts and Culture Center at Vine Street and Riverside Drive to the west. If you check out all 17 stops on the art walk, not only will you see good local art, you’ll get the extra benefit of a good workout that satisfies many of your New Year’s resolutions.
For that reason, and the fact that February is American Heart Month , we’ve partnered with Saint Mary’s Center for Health and Fitness for Walk for Art and Your Heart! challenge. The first 50 people who want to participate in the Walk for Art and Your Heart! challenge will receive a free pedometer. And if you already own a pedometer or use a Fitbit, that’s perfect, you, too, can participate in the challenge. Check in at Liberty Fine Art Gallery and we’ll log you in.
Why do this? Oh let me count the reasons! You get to see great art. You’ll get a great workout in and not feel guilty when you eat that slice of pizza at Noble Pie Parlor at the end of the walk. You get to be just a little bit competitive and try to walk the most steps and win great prizes. Now that I think more about this, Eric and I will walk the route beforehand and post the number of steps we walked on Facebook, so you have a number to beat. How’s that? You also get to challenge yourself and keep on walking throughout the month and try to log the most steps walked for even more prizes.
And for the rest of you who aren’t reward driven, I think the most important reason to participate is for a healthy heart. I will walk in memory of my mother, who died six years ago from heart disease.
I’m grateful to Saint Mary’s Center for Health and Fitness for working with us on this. What a great way to start our second year of fun strolls in downtown Reno! We’re setting the bar higher for ourselves. It’s a good thing we’re going to be in great shape to keep leaping!

Let’s Pay Attention to Reno’s Art
November 10, 2014 /4 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Geralda Miller
I just read the CBS Sunday morning news report about how Don Bacigalupi, president, and Chad Alligood, curator, from the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Ark., traveled more than 100,000 miles to almost 1,000 studios in 44 states on the hunt for unrecognized talent for an exhibit called “State of the Art: Discovering American Art Now.”
Their mission was to find undiscovered artists across the country, to showcase in a contemporary art show.
“Wherever you come from, wherever you live, there might be a great genius artist working right next door, and if you haven’t paid attention to that, it’s worth doing,” Bacigalupi said.
Well, I couldn’t agree more!
We just held this month’s First Thursday Art Walk Reno. This event keeps getting better and better. (And I’m not just saying this because I help run it.) All you had to do was start at Liberty Fine Art Gallery and go on the walk to see the impressive variety of art that’s on display in Reno’s Downtown Arts District — 40 local and regional artists in 18 galleries and alternative venues.
Among the notables are: Bryce Chisholm, one of Reno’s hardest working artists, has work hanging in Noble Pie Parlor. Will Roger Peterson, one of the founders of the Burning Man organization, has a stirring exhibit, “Provocative Portraits” at Sierra Arts Gallery. Megan Ellis’ intricate insect studies are on display at Hub Coffee Roasters on the River. And Emily Silver’s remarkable examination of Las Vegas in “Ten Walks at the Edge of Las Vegas” is at McKinley Arts and Culture Center.
Although it would be great validation, we really don’t need Bacigalupi and Alligood to come to Reno for us to know we’ve got a vibrant arts community. But I think we need to remember what Bacigalupi said, so I repeat: “…there might be a great genius artist working right next door, and if you haven’t paid attention to that, it’s worth doing.”
We need to pay better attention to what we’ve got in Reno! We at Art Spot Reno truly believe this. We’ve even changed our Art Walk slogan because of it – More Art Everywhere.
After reading the CBS report, I perused the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art to learn more about the exhibit. I found out that in conjunction with the exhibit, the museum held The Summit at Crystal Bridges: Insights from a Changing America.” I wish I would have been able to attend this sold-out conference. The who’s-who list of attendees included policy-makers, educators, business people, artists, and museum professionals. Former Pres. Bill Clinton was a guest speaker. He said:
“The ability of democratizing the arts — making it available to more people, and giving people a chance to develop their own talents — will be one of the most important strategies we can pursue to build a future we can all share and live with.”
Don’t take my word for it. Drive downtown, put on a pair of comfortable shoes and check out all the art. There’s More Art Everywhere!!

A Review & Analysis of Storytelling in Disney’s The Nutcracker and the Four Realms
I’m not always a huge fan of Disney’s policies. They’re a massive corporation, and their pursuit of increasingly restrictive copyright laws is something that is a major concern of mine.
However, I’m also an advocate for storytelling, and occasionally I have to go to the theater with my family and see something solid, and Disney usually delivers that.
Anyway, despite the fact that it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, Disney has already released its version of The Nutcracker, an interesting take on the classic ballet.
For those who are totally oblivious to its existence, here’s a quick trailer:
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms trailer, courtesy of Disney.
I’ve sort of settled into a review/analysis format when I talk about movies (see my previous Christopher Robin and Incredibles overviews on the Loreshaper Games blog), so let’s start with my review, which I will keep free of spoilers.
Disney taking fairy tales and turning them into franchises is not new, nor is their big-budget live-action formula.
“The Nutcracker and the Four Realms” takes that approach to the classic Nutcracker story, with a fairly large departure from the standard format in which the story is told. These do not get in the way of the general conceit, but do make it substantially more complicated.
As a result, it is impossible to say that the film is a faithful adaptation of the ballet or the short stories that inspired it, even though it includes both musical interludes and plot devices (such as many of the characters) who are drawn directly from the original.
The film centers itself around a young protagonist, Clara Stahlbaum, who is experiencing her first Christmas after the loss of her mother and coming to terms with the whole ordeal and moving on with her life. Along the way she enters a fantastical realm and does the standard Hero’s Journey stuff, but that’s pretty much all stories so don’t count it out just because it’s orthodox.
I’d classify it as being fairly character driven, and this is one of the strongest strengths, due to the incredibly solid acting delivered throughout the whole film.
Clara is striving to come to terms with her mother’s death and reunite their family. Loss and coping seems to be something of a common theme for children’s movies, with the Incredibles 2 taking a much milder approach to this in the form of coping with Helen Parr’s new job as opposed to the literal death of Clara’s mother, and in the analysis section I’ll give some theories as to why. However, I will say that there is a good connection between her internal struggles and the struggles unfolding around her, which makes the plot flow really quickly without being too confusing (of course, I am not the film’s target audience).
This film is part of a recent trend of Disney movies aimed at younger audiences that treat their viewers as intelligent, like Christopher Robin was earlier this year.
In general, I thought it was solidly executed in all counts. The acting was solid, the music was quite on point (I’m not even a fan of most of the parts Tchaikovsky’s ballet, despite generally liking his other work, but they don’t over-use the Sugar Plum Fairies motif until you’re sick and tired of it, so I count that as a win), and the CGI was flawless.
The characters are sometimes a little flawed. The character of Clara was fantastic and is a great example of showing heroic growth in a film protagonist, but the main villain (who is revealed in a twist that isn’t incredibly surprising, but this is a movie made for children) comes across as a little shallow (albeit reasonably shallow, as I’ll get into more detail about in the analysis).
One of the things that I do have to say here is that Disney does a good job of paying homage to many of the elements of the original tale, including ballet sequences and set-dressing that is iconic and recognizable. The storyline itself is quite different than the original fairy tale, so don’t expect anything similar in terms of that.
The Four Realms as a setting element is something of a weakness. While Clara’s travels into a Narnia-esque realm set a good window-dressing, there’s an odd feeling that we didn’t really get a good look at the setting, but we also know more than we need to know about it.
Mid-movie setting exposition is tricky, and they did about as good a job as they could, but there were places mentioned and briefly explored that didn’t matter to the plot, and that’s one of the sins of the newer Star Wars movies that Disney should have learned from.
Also, there is literally a character named Sugar Plum in this movie. Sure, I get it, Sugar Plum Fairies, but do you have to name one Sugar Plum? Too saccharine for my tastes.
All-in-all, I’d say that this is a good movie. A star-studded cast delivers a PG-rated performance that’s not going to go down in history as great, but is also not the worst use of your time.
I’ll be honest; I think that this could be a good teaching movie because of the fact that it has fairly little objectionable content and is really rich in symbolism and depth, not to mention the fact that it ties in naturally to a short story that you could read and therefore allows you to use the film as an educational enrichment.
It’s not a Christopher Robin or Lion King tier movie, where it’ll be something worth returning to, but I wouldn’t dismiss it as a cynical cash-grab. If you’re going to the movies anyway, consider it.
Also, it’s not a musical. Misty Copeland is in the film, and she’s fantastic, but you see as much of her in the credits sequence as in the movie itself.
Basically, I watched this movie because I was tagging along, but I thought it was quite good. If I had to quantify it, I’d give it a well-earned four out of five stars.
A Star Wars Rant
This film’s storyline should have been used in The Last Jedi or The Force Awakens to establish Rey’s character.
It’s really strong and ties into all the places that you could want it to go. Change all the set dressing and actors, and you’ve got a perfect setup here.
This movie proves that a lot of the complaints about Disney’s perceived practices are invalid; the film has an incredible diverse cast, all of whom are talented. It has enough development in each of the central characters to make them stand out, without detracting from Clara’s growth. It has comedic relief. It has moments that hit on deep sadness and fear.
The Last Jedi could have had these things too, but it didn’t follow the Disney formula.
The Analysis
There’s a lot to analyze here, and I really thought that this movie was really good at working the Disney magic, even if they didn’t always get the payoff they desired.
Most people are probably aware of the Hero’s Journey by Joseph Campbell, but I think that we can take a step back to just plain Jungian interpretation of many of the archetypal symbols that show up in this film.
I’m not sure what Disney’s in-house writing guide says about storytelling; I know that they have something like the Hero’s Journey as an in-house document that they use to crank-out award winning screenplays, but I’d be willing to bet that it’s really in-depth, and that The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is going all-in on that symbolism.
And, really, it should. The Nutcracker as a fairy tale has clear and evident symbolic importance to most of its elements, and Disney’s version plays with that a little while being conservative in many ways.
The Known and the Unknown
A large part of any good story is knitting together the known and the unknown. Without having the known world represented, you lack any connection to humanity, but failing to enter the unknown leaves the storytelling exercise pointless.
Stories about people going to work, coming back home, and going to bed, then repeating the process, tend to be boring unless there’s some struggle that makes that process difficult.
This is because, as Jordan Peterson describes in his Maps of Meaning, the storytelling process is about mediating decisions that come about when the unbearable present meets the unknown future.
To put it in simpler Jungian dichotomies, there is the known and the unknown, and a liminal bridge between them. To bring balance between these two things is to bring the mind into wholeness.
Clara’s Animus
The story starts off with Clara’s life in chaos. Her family is beginning to celebrate her first Christmas after her mother’s death, and Clara is clearly not emotionally prepared for this.
She is told that she must keep up appearances, or that certain behavior is expected, or that it is important to maintain traditions. This is the immature animus–the avatar of order–failing to speak to her.
She is lost and drowning in the unknown; she doesn’t know what to do now that her mother is lost.
The feminine often symbolizes opportunity, especially in Jungian interpretations. While the full reasons for this are beyond the scope of this analysis, it is relatively simple to claim that the death of Clara’s mother represents the loss of this optimism about the unknown. It is an end to the positive perceived valance of the unknown that fosters turning the unknowable spaces around us into knowable spaces.
The conflict, therefore, stems from having an imbalance; the world is chaotic and this chaos confronts Clara on account of her mother’s demise. The loss of her mother has stripped Clara of any optimistic worldview about the future; the unknown now represents, quite reasonably, only death to her, because she has lost sight of the potential for a positive unknown.
Entering the Four Realms is an opportunity for Clara to undergo a Hero’s Journey, initiating a growth of character that could also be classified as a bildungsroman.
This controlled and willing encounter with the unknown represents the formation of an animus within Clara’s psyche; she goes after the prize of knowledge, of being able to open a gift left behind by her mother in an egg (symbolic of fertile potential) which can only be opened by a key which has been lost in the Four Realms.
This animus is a means of structuring the world into order once again; by encountering the Four Realms, which were brought to life by her mother and exist in a sort of magical space, she is able to put her thoughts into perspective.
It can also be said that the magical Four Realms have a parallel in similar stories such as C.S. Lewis’ Narnia, which is that they carry deep symbolism related to introspection and reflection; they are not only literal places that the characters are able to visit, but a place where the objective reality that filters into consciousness is no longer the governing force and instead the mythic symbolism of the subconscious can filter in.
Rodents and Owls
One of the interesting symbols in the film is that of the rodent. The Mouse King is a key figure in the film, but he winds up being a help rather than a hindrance. The counterpart to them is an owl, an assistant of Drosselmeyer, who is to look over Clara, and who provides her with guidance in a couple points throughout the film.
Rodents are vermin, and typically symbolize chaos and the unknown. However, the owl represents a counterpoint in both representing order and wisdom but also preying upon vermin. Despite this, Drosselmeyer’s owl ignores the rodents throughout the film (for a reason that becomes symbolically important near the film’s conclusion).
Near the opening of a film Clara and her brother try futilely to capture a mouse in their attic, which is significant because it reflects Clara’s inability to adapt her psyche to the uncertainty of her new life devoid of maternal care.
Later in the film, but still in an early scene, Clara passes down a hallway lined with owl mosaics (I believe on both sides of the hallway, though I only noticed the mosaics half-way through the scene and the far side was obscured in such a manner that I cannot be 100% positive). However, in a brief shot the owl mosaics on one side have been replaced with mouse mosaics. At the end of this passageway, she is brought into the Four Realms.
Over the course of the film, the owl plays a relatively minor role but appears in key scenes in which Clara is experiencing doubt. It reflects the return of the known world’s relevance to Clara’s psyche, allowing her to return to a mental state of order that has been difficult to find since her mother’s death.
It is the rodent, however, as an avatar of the unknown, that is perhaps more important to consider.
The Mouse King is a frequent adversary throughout the earlier parts of the film, but in the latter parts of the film he turns into an ally for Clara and the Nutcracker (whose role is much less relevant to this analysis; he exists primarily to support Clara, but he still provides some deeply symbolic elements to the story).
This transition from enemy to ally–paralleled by the character of Mama Ginger, who is in league with the Rat King–provides the psychological counterweight to the undesirable elements of chaos.
By discovering that the unknown does not necessarily need to be feared, Clara develops as a character into a heroic figure, fulfilling the type that has been set out before her.
The Triumph Over Doubt
In the film, it is clear that the main enemy is not necessarily the unknown, but rather fear and doubt. This is a core Jungian psychological concept. This uncertainty is created by an inability to balance the psyche, something that Clara overcomes.
But it also provides the basis for the main villain’s motivations; Sugar Plum (ugh, that name), who was “abandoned” like Clara upon Marie’s death, is incapable of overcoming that doubt and fear.
This imbalance leads to her seeking to become a tyrant; an out-of-balance representation of Jung’s “dreadful father”, whose role in the universe is to pursue order above all else, even at the expense of change.
The usurpation of Clara’s rightful place as Queen of the Four Realms and the oppression of the populace that comes alongside Sugar Plum’s ascension, as she creates an army of tin soldiers who lack individual agency and awareness, is a classic example of this archetype playing out.
At one point, Sugar Plum explains clearly that with her army, she will never be hurt again.
This symbolizes the key message of the story: It is necessary to accept reality to move on with one’s life, but that process requires self-discovery and acceptance of agency.
There’s other things that can be said here, but I’m not necessarily the person to say them and I have constraints on my time, so they’ll have to go unsaid for now.
Basically, I felt like the cinematography was well-done, the characters were generally vivid, and the storytelling had that Disney magic that comes from a deep understanding of the psychology of stories.
Were there missteps? Yes. But I don’t think they grew to the point of detracting from the journey, and Nutcracker is an interesting example of how the Hero’s Journey can manifest, albeit one wrapped in silly window dressing.

The Order of the British Empire is an honor conferred by the Queen to those that have made important achievements in public life and dedicated themselves to serving and serving to the United Kingdom.
Keynesian economics as conceived by Keynes was totally static”; that is, it didn’t involve time as an important variable. But considered one of Keynes’s adherents, Roy Harrod , emphasised the importance of time in his simple macroeconomic model of a growing economic system. With the publication of Towards a Dynamic Economics (1948), Harrod launched a wholly new specialty, development theory,” which soon absorbed the attention of an rising number of economists.
With his type of speedy speech, rattling off a lot so quick, I thought he lived in New York City, but no, he hails from California and has a math degree from Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Yoram did his graduate Ph.D. in Economics in 2003 on the University of Washington. He calls himself an environmental economist, which sounds pretty classy to me. I love the atmosphere and we’d like individuals educated sufficient to elucidate to others how essential and VALUABLE our natural sources are to this nation.
Sceptics of fiscal policy also make the argument of Ricardian equivalence They argue that an increase in debt must be paid for with future tax will increase, which is able to trigger folks to reduce their consumption and get monetary savings to pay for the future tax increase. Under Ricardian equivalence, any enhance in demand from fiscal coverage might be offset by the elevated financial savings rate supposed to pay for future larger taxes.

Journey 291: Sunday Night Tiger Football
I got to watch grandson Joey’s final football game of the season late this afternoon. Picking up granddaughter Aubrey, we joined Megan, Oliver and Joey at the Webb City football stadium. The sun was shining and the temps were a bit warmer than yesterday. It was perfect football weather.
The 4th grade Tiger team has been beset with injuries this year. One of their key players has been out since game 1 and Joey suffered a knee injury as well, which temporarily sidelined him. But this team learned amazing things this year…to overcome adversity, to share in the victories and the defeats, and to step up and shine as they explore their strengths.
Joey has made several touch downs, in the last couple of games. He was the team player who put 6 points on the board tonight. I’m very proud of his determination and his persistence. It’s not always fun to play when you aren’t winning. But there are so many other truths to learn, about oneself and the team, when you are losing while doing the very best that you can.
I enjoyed the game and being outside on this gorgeous fall day. I enjoyed watching Oliver and Aubrey playing in and around the bleachers with other brothers and sisters of the boys in blue. At these games, there’s a little community of people present, held together by a common bond. It’s always interesting to watch how people interact and respond to what’s going on, on the field. And I enjoyed chatting with Megan, who is very present for her kids, cheering them on, capturing the moments with her camera phone, storing away these treasured times in her heart.
It’s another finish to another season of football. I’ve watched Joey gain confidence in his abilities and step up as he’s mastered the basics. It’s totally up to him whether he plays football again next summer, or turns his attention elsewhere. Whatever he decides, I’ll be there, along with the rest of his family, cheering him on.

It's perfectly natural to want to cringe at the mere thought of a Night of the Living Dead remake — one shot in full color no less — but hear me out: Tom Savini's 1990 version of Night of the Living Dead does a respectable job of reworking George Romero's 1968 classic to a fit more modern archetype. Well-known for his make-up effects (on films such as Friday the 13th and Romero's own Dawn of the Dead), Savini understandably leans toward a more visceral revision to the already ghastly classic.(read more...)
The Haunted Mansion: Keeping the Faith
Submitted by Nate Yapp on Wed, 2011-02-23 02:45
The following is for the League of Tana Tea Drinkers' roundtable discussion of "What Do Cute Versions of Monsters Tell Us About Horror?" I realize that I didn't address the question directly, but I think my piece fits into the larger discussion.
I've never been a spiritual person. The most pressing conflict of faith I had growing up was whether I would become an agnostic like my father or an atheist like my mother (I still bounce back and forth to this day). I suppose we all need something to believe in, however, especially as children. I believed in horror. It was, in many ways, my faith - adored without question, every movie I could get my hands on committed to memory and recited ad nauseam. Frankenstein, Dracula, the Wolf Man, and an exquisitely tortured Vincent Price were all major deities. It was a simple pleasure in a complex time - my parents were getting divorced and I was being moved (as opposed to moving, which suggests I had some choice in the matter) to another state. In hindsight, horror was something I very much needed to survive - the heightened acting, the fantastic settings both foreboding and unreal, the monsters who brought thrills and chills to supplant the uncertainty that was actually much, much scarier.

Review: Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (1973)
Submitted by Bruce Jordan on Mon, 2011-02-21 00:00
During the early 1970s, the three major television networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) provided their viewing audiences with an abundance of well-made, low-budget fright flicks as a response to the then burgeoning drive-in market. One of the most well-remembered shows to air during this time was the ABC Movie of the Week. The series ran for a respectable six years (1969-1975), producing several key genre entries. John Newland's Don't Be Afraid of The Dark stood at the forefront of this small screen movement. Newland's film left an indelible mark on the terrified viewing audience that caught it on October 10, 1973. Now, almost forty years later, it still stands up as the kind of film that will make you want to sleep with your light on. (read more...)
Review: Mahakaal (1993)
Submitted by Simon Powell on Mon, 2011-02-07 21:06
If imitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery, Wes Craven is presumably meant to take the chutzpah of Mahakaal as a compliment. A jaw-droppingly blatant rip-off of one of Craven's most famous films, A Nightmare on Elm Street, it is also a frustrating piece of work. Despite being, at times, genuinely creepy, and adding a few inventive touches of it's own, it ultimately fails, because the story changes leave it thematically weaker, and the directors are unwilling or unable to transcend the limitations and demands of the "Bollywood" commercial film-making formula(read more...)
The Disused Fane: Go Into the Light
Submitted by Nathan Sturm on Wed, 2011-02-02 16:04
One of the best parts (there are many) from the Spanish flick Horror Rises from the Tomb (1973) is an early scene in which the protagonists, all of whom are bored rich people, attend a séance. They want to get in touch with their ancestors; it's not like they have anything better to do with their time. They succeed. Unfortunately for them, the film already opened with a prologue set in the Middle Ages in which a certain nobleman and his mistress are executed for practicing witchcraft. Naturally, it is these two individuals who manifest themselves at the séance, and naturally, this inspires the one guy to take everyone up to the old ancestral castle to start digging for things in the crypts. It doesn't turn out well.(read more...)
Review: Dead of Night (1945)
Submitted by Rich Dishman on Mon, 2011-01-24 05:17
Ealing Studios' 1945 production of Dead of Night is a landmark film on two different levels. Its overall high quality, mind-bending wraparound story, and one legendary sequence solidify Dead of Night's reputation as one of the greatest examples of the horror anthology. Of equal significance, the film provides links to the future by introducing elements that foreshadow genre movies made many years later.(read more...)
Review: House (1977)
One of the great things about horror films is the constant evolution of the genre; just when you think you've seen every possible take on a premise, somebody will come along with a new twist on an old favorite. The bare bones of the plot of House (a group of teenage girls, trapped in a creepy old mansion, being murdered one by one) may sound very familiar. However, in the hands of a first-time director with a background in both art and advertising, it becomes a chaotic and experimental piece of work that, aside from being baffling, bloody, and disturbing, is a great example of the theory of Pure Cinema.

Review: Monster House (2006)
Submitted by Julia Merriam on Mon, 2011-01-10 02:29
Everyone has something they were terrified of as a child. Sometimes it was the shadows lurking in the closet, sometimes it was the malevolent clown doll perched on the highest shelf, and sometimes it was that creepy house across the street. But what happens when those imagined dangers, often considered the folly of childhood, become a very dangerous reality? The answer, of course, is Monster House, the directorial debut of Gil Kenan (City of Amber). An innocent and yet surprisingly mature film, Monster House explores both the mystery of the neighborhood's haunted house and the complexity of adolescence with minimal belittlement. Offering a fresh take on an old idea, Monster House approaches its youthful themes with maturity, dignity and a healthy dose of good ol' supernatural fright, making it nothing less than a top-notch children's horror film.(read more...)
The Disused Fane: I Am Become Death
It has become almost mandatory in any movie involving zombies or zombie-like creatures... the scene in which one of the protagonists confronts a friend or family member who isn't quite the same anymore. Can he perform his duty to civilization by pulling the trigger, or will he end up like them? Is it right to kill a loved one who has become one of the undead (or an alien pod-person, or a plague-infected mutant, or whatever)? (read more...)
Review: The Uninvited (1944)
Submitted by Kevin Nickelson on Mon, 2011-01-03 11:33
At some point in its history, Hollywood decided that more eye-popping effects, blood, violence, and nudity were needed to bring more viewers to theaters and put more money into industry coffers. Unfortunately, this often led to a lazy, less-nuanced approach to filmmaking. Fans of the haunted house chiller, in particular, saw first-hand how the new, in-your-face angle negatively impacted their favorite horror sub-genre. Where you now see the ghosts and supernatural forces through optical and computer trickery, the ghost stories of filmdom's golden age relied on simple sound, lighting, and wind machine effects to get the viewer's already active imagination to scare the pants off them. One of these subtle gems of yesteryear is 1944's The Uninvited, a sumptuous-looking, superbly directed and acted hair-raiser of the highest caliber.(read more...)

Sounders’ Smith suspended
Posted by Jose Romero
MF Khano Smith, one of Sounders FC’s expansion draft picks, will miss the first regular-season game and has been fined $250, according to the MLS Web site.
Here’s how the site has it:
Khano Smith
Suspension/Fine: First 2009 Regular Season game, $250
Reason: Disciplinary Committee Decision
It appears the fine stems from a hard tackle and subsequent red card for Smith late last season. You can read about what happened here from goal.com:
Of course, Smith might not serve the suspension as a Sounder should he be traded or not make the final roster. Smith is the second Seattle expansion pick that must open the season suspended, joining Jeff Parke, who has to complete a 10-game suspension imposed by the league.

University of North Iowa Faculty Votes to Re-certify Union Faculty Chapter
October 31, 2018 | :
by Monica Levitan
The United Faculty of the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) has recently completed its first union recertification election with 85 percent faculty support after a 2017 bill significantly changed Iowa’s collective bargaining law for state employees.
The 2017 bill passed by the Iowa House and Senate limited the required and permissive matters of bargaining as well as terminated payroll deduction and requires recertification of the bargaining unit a year before the expiration of each bargaining agreement, according to the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) press release.
“The results of the election show that repeated attempts to dismantle unions in Iowa have failed. In fact, they have made us stronger,” said Dr. Carissa Froyum, associate professor of sociology at UNI and United Faculty’s vice president. “We are more organized than ever, and we won’t back down. Our union is unique because it brings together tenured faculty, probationary faculty, and non-tenure-track faculty. That combination allows us to address workplace issues for all faculty at UNI.”
Established in 1976, the chapter is the only negotiating mediator for the UNI faculty and is affiliated with the AAUP, according to the press release.
The election occurred from October 15-29 and was conducted electronically.
The United Faculty chapter at UNI offers several benefits for all types of faculty, and has been advocating for voting rights for non-tenure track faculty, said Forum.
“We have done a salary equity study, which led to real change for all faculty. And we have worked collaboratively with the administration to advance faculty governance on campus,” she said. “After the recertification vote, everyone knows that we have our faculty’s back, and they have ours.”

Why Branding and PPC Go Together Like PB&J [PODCAST]
Gayduobhah February 3, 2016 E-Marketing News Comments Off on Why Branding and PPC Go Together Like PB&J [PODCAST] 734 Views
If your brand voice and PPC ad copy don’t go together like peanut butter and jelly, your marketing dollars are going to waste. Image source.
Branding and performance are typically seen as being on opposite ends of the marketing spectrum — the PPC specialists run their campaigns while the branding experts concern themselves with more high-level strategy. But as Dana DiTomaso, Partner at digital marketing agency Kick Point explains in the latest episode of the Call to Action podcast, if you don’t see how the two relate, you’re likely cheating yourself out of a higher conversion rate.
The four elements that every brand voice needs to feel complete.
The most important question marketers need to ask themselves before they write a word of PPC ad copy.
Tricks for condensing your brand voice into the 70 characters that AdWords allows.

Brand-Infused PPC For Better Results by Dana DiTomaso via the Call to Action Conference.
How to Make Your Marketing Match Your Reality by Dana DiTomaso via MozCon
Call to Action theme music brought to you by the great folks at Wistia.
Dan: Your talk at the Call to Action Conference last year was about what you call brand-infused PPC. Aren’t branding and performance typically considered to be on opposite sides of the marketing spectrum?
Dana: I think traditionally they are. I would disagree with that categorization but we’re often of the mind that the brand and the performance go together hand in hand. And I think a lot of the work that’s happening now with brands is really bringing that together, where people realize that every brand engagement — not just the sales or the marketing or whatever people might see — really does impact that customer experience. And that’s where I think brands are going.
Dan: It was a bit of a leading question, because of course your talk is all about how you could bring brand back into the performance conversation. Before we dive a little bit further into that branding stuff, can you tell us how searching for Ford dealerships on Google is the best way to learn what not to do when it comes to aligning your PPC ads with your overall brand messaging?
Dana: Yeah, you could do this for any dealership, too. It doesn’t have to be Ford’s — you know, Chevy, GM. The problem is that there’s usually a lot of dealerships in a town and what differentiates them? If you Google them and you see the ads that come up, they’re all saying the same thing. You know, “Great deals on F150” or, “Come check out the new Silverado.” We’re in Alberta so it’s truck country so they all see truck ads. But I imagine in a city, you might see things like the Ford Focus and the Chevy Aveo, that kind of thing.
Dan: Not a lot of hybrids out there, I guess.
Dana: No, not a lot of hybrids out here. But you see a lot of the same kinds of messaging. Because that’s the messaging that they get from the advertising agency that’s been hired by Ford at large. The individual dealership doesn’t necessarily have the resources to differentiate themselves. But the dealerships that are successful in the long run do take that time to make themselves successful and stand out. And they do put in that effort to have the really cheesy TV ads or the radio ads that you can’t escape from but you know their name and you know what their brand is.
Dan: But you’re not seeing that familiar messaging creep into your B2C ads, for some reason.
Dana: We don’t see it too often. Occasionally we do. Like there’s a dealership here in town that obviously has put some effort into their PPC. But we’ve seen situations where two dealerships have exactly the same ad copy because they’ve hired the same automotive marketing firm to deliver the messaging for them. And they’re literally recycling the same ad copy for two competing dealerships in the same geography.
Dan: Wow. On the other hand, you also looked at Geico ads and their PPC ads, and while of course they didn’t include a talking gecko because we’re still talking about PPC here, they were much more successful from a brand standpoint.
Dana: Could you imagine if you could put a talking gecko in a PPC ad? That would be kind of amazing.
Dan: Yeah, I think maybe that’s the next generation of PPC.
Dana: Yeah, on Google Now, PPC, that’s what it’ll be. But definitely when you – so I did this test at SearchLove Boston earlier last year, and I put up three TV ads from three different car insurance companies. And I put up three PPC ads from the same three car insurance companies. And people, by looking at a still – one still – from the insurance TV ads, they could tell what company it was. By looking at the PPC ads, they really couldn’t tell. Geico did stand out a little bit and a few people did guess the Geico one correctly. But the others were all about lowest rates. And I understand that that’s a big differentiator in the insurance space but you spend all this money on your brand. You’ve got like Flo, for example, with Progressive. She’s their brand spokesperson and she doesn’t come through in half of their messaging. Why is that? Why is that missed opportunity there?
Dan: Yeah, and on the one hand it seems like PPC marketers have it tough because they can’t put the talking gecko in the ad because you’re limited in terms of space and in terms of visuals. But at the same time, you say that brand actually makes it easier for PPC marketers to write copy. How so?
Dana: Because a lot of times people are thinking, “How do I write this ad so that it isn’t the same as everything else that’s out there in the search?” One of the first things that you do when you say, “Okay, I’m going to advertise with this keyword,” you Google that keyword and see who your competitors are. And if you’re able to have a strong brand voice to fall back on, you don’t necessarily have to say, “All right, I guess I can’t say that because that brand is saying that.” You’re already approaching it from a perspective of: “We know what makes us different. We know what makes us stand out from our competition. Now I’m going to turn that into a PPC ad.”
So instead of approaching it as a, well, “Everyone else is saying this so I guess I should too” or “Everyone else is saying this so I guess I need to find a slightly-different-yet-keyword-relevant term for it,” you can actually stand out a little bit in the PPC and make it interesting. And people are really glazing past the same old, boring ads that everyone else is writing that say nothing, essentially. And it doesn’t take much to stand out in that kind of crowded marketplace.
Dan: You suggest that before writing a PPC ad, people need to ask themselves, “Why should anybody click on this ad?” And it may seem obvious, but why is it so important for marketers to gut-check themselves with that question?
Dana: I think a lot of work kind of gets phoned in, sometimes. Because you say, “Okay, I’ve got to write 20 ads today.” I can guarantee that somebody writing a TV ad doesn’t have to write 20 TV ads in a single day. But the attention isn’t paid, even though the budgets are creeping and creeping similar to what we used to see in traditional advertising budgets. Really take the effort before you throw several thousand dollars at a piece of text. Think to yourself, “What is going to make that potential searcher click that ad?” And this is where that audience segmentation really comes in handy. “What is their pain and how are we going to solve it?” And then “How can I communicate that in 70 characters?”
Dan: You mentioned brand voice earlier. I want to delve into that a little bit. You say that brand voice is made up of four elements: persona, tone, language and purpose. Can you talk about some of the tradeoffs involved in choosing one brand voice over another?
Dana: Well, it’s like a personality. Ands so you have a person who has good traits and bad traits. And a lot of people say, “Oh, our brand is friendly.” We’ll put that aside for now because if your brand is rude — and absolutely there are some brands that are rude. For example, I have a great sample. Burger Baron — which is a chain of burger restaurants across Alberta — their Twitter persona is totally offensive but that’s their brand. And just go check out their Twitter; you’ll see what I mean. I kind of respect how gross they are because it means that they’re really standing for something.
Dan: Sounds like the Donald Trump of burger brands or something?
Dana: Yeah, I think it’s actually the oil field worker of burger brands but it’s the language that they’re choosing to use. And the language they’re choosing speaks to their audience, then, because that’s the language that their audience is using and it makes sense for them. Not everybody is going to get excited about this brand, but it means that the people who do get excited about it get really excited about it. Standing for something means something to your customers. And a lot of brands fall into this trap of “We want to make everybody happy” instead of “We’re only going to make a segment happy.” Think about another example, was that Target, the fake customer service guy who when Target went gender neutral with their toys, he was responding.
And Target was kind of like, “Wink-wink, nudge-nudge.” Well, I guess that’s okay. They didn’t explicitly say that they liked it, but they did. And again, that’s a brand that is standing for something and didn’t feel bad about it. It wasn’t like, “Oh, we’re going to change our mind because these people are upset.” So think about how that carries through to your brand voice. How do the decisions that you make about your brand reflect on the brand voice as a person? The brand voice is the extension of your brand when you’re using that voice to speak to people in PPC ads, in television, in social media.
Dan: Right, and you talk about how being super clear about your brand voice helps you obtain the right kind of customers or clients. And of course, that can save you a lot of money in the long run.
Dana: I think people are more devoted to a brand — more likely to become that customer who recommends that brand everywhere — if they’re able to make that kind of emotional connection. And a brand who stands for nothing and is just trying to make everybody happy all the time means that nobody gets that strong brand connection. They don’t get excited about it.
Dan: Maybe can you go into why it’s so important to target the right kind of customer? Because I think that some people think, “Why would we limit ourselves or limit our audience if ultimately, the more customers the better?” Because that’s not always the case, is it?
Dana: Yeah, we see that a lot in small businesses in particular, is you get worried and you think, “Oh, no, I have to say yes to everybody or else I’ll never be in business again.” But really, you’re doing yourself a disservice. And we talk about it — especially in B2B sales — as marketing debt. The marketing debt is the time that you spend dealing with bad leads that are ultimately wasted time, money that you’re losing off these people. It’s debt that you’re incurring. When really, you should be spending the time to bring in the kind of clients who are going to be the most excited to work with you or the most fun to work with. Why waste your time with these other people? And it’s trying to convince a client, “There’s plenty of fish in the sea; we’re going to find the right client for you.” And once those right clients start to come in, it really makes a difference for their business.
Dan: Yeah, and I think it’s hard to scale that way, too because eventually, those clients or leads that aren’t quite right for you or weren’t quite right from the beginning are going to be a drain on your customer support and on your sales team, and just on your resources in general.
Dana: Yeah, it makes it really difficult to grow. And by taking a stand and saying, “Look, this is the kind of customer we’re going to help. This is the kind of customer that you should probably go look at this other product.” I think it’s important to do that or else you’re always trying to chase after those people who are marginally great. And as a result, you don’t necessarily have enough time to spend with the customers who are going to be great right out of the box.
Dan: One thing we haven’t really talked about yet is conversion, and where that comes into play, here. You suggest that marketers ask themselves what elements of their brand will ultimately drive sales. Can you paint a picture of how you can take what you’ve established and articulate it about your brand voice, and carry it into you planning pages in a way that converts?
Dana: Yeah, I think it’s important to say that question that you asked: “What elements of your brand drive sales?” So really plot that out for yourself. Figure out what those elements are and then what that means to your overall customer lifecycle. So doing a customer lifecycle is something that’s really important. I don’t know if you’ve had anybody on the podcast before who’s talked about customer lifecycles. But I reckon –
Dan: We’ve been thinking a lot about it internally, lately, but I don’t think we’ve talked about it on the podcast yet, no.
Dana: Okay. So Carrie Bodine, she spoke at MOZcon I think two years ago. And she does customer journeys and she was fantastic and presented a sample. And really, it’s just figuring out all the different touch points that happen not just in the sales cycle but during the lifetime the customer engages with you, and then where they end up at the end of that customer journey, if there is an endpoint. For a product like yours, for example, a customer could be with you for years but what’s that endpoint that makes them stop working with you, right?
Dan: Right.
Dana: And figuring out how your brand really infuses each step and each touchpoint of that customer lifecycle. And then you can identify points where your brand voice or your brand attributes can make parts of it stronger or weaker, and that can also help figure out that customer journey for you. And in terms of conversion in particular, I mean isn’t it easier to convert customers who are the right kind of customers in the door? I know personally I’ve had phone calls with customers who don’t necessarily have enough budget but their thing sounds really cool, and it’s like, “Well, I’d like to work with you but you don’t have enough money.” And it’s like, “Why are you trying to make this happen?” Just refer to somebody who will be really happy to have this customer instead of fighting to change who you are in order to get a customer who’s only marginally right for you.
Dan: That’s a really good point. If you’ve done your job segmenting through your ads and your ad copy, then by the time they get to your landing page, they’re going to be way more qualified. And regardless of even the copy or the images on your page, the conversion rates are going to be higher because you’re already working with a much more qualified sample.
Dana: Think about Facebook ads, for example. So besides Kick Point, I am the co-lead of Ladies Learning Code here in Edmonton, which has chapters across Canada. And we run workshops for women to learn how to code. And we do a lot of Facebook ads to try to bring women to our workshops. And there’s a ton of segmentation that happens in those ads. And so for example, if I’m running a workshop on Ruby, I’m going to try to find people who are already interested in programming, right? It would be different than if I said, “Okay, all women in Edmonton between the ages of 18 to 65 plus, period.” Now, that’s not a great segment, right?
But then if I say, “Okay, so this age range may be a little bit narrower and the age range may be between 25 and 45, who are early technology adopters or who are already interested in WordPress,” for example. Then I’m getting a much smaller segment and yeah, maybe it doesn’t look that great for my impressions but boy, my conversion rate really goes up. So don’t necessarily – and people get tied up in impressions a lot, right? And especially senior leadership. They’re used to seeing — especially if they’ve been in marketing a long time — they’re used to seeing: “300,000 people saw your ad.” And if you say, “Hey, we targeted 2,000 people and 1,000 people bought,” that’s way better than “300,000 people saw your ad and we got ten phone calls.”
Dan: And it’s the same thing with click-through rate, isn’t it?
Dana: Yes, absolutely. I would much rather see a tiny, tiny impression share and a ridiculous click-through rate. It just makes sense mathematically.
Dan: Yeah, although at the same time, you also talk about how click-through rate is in the deal and all, and sometimes a lower CTR actually has payoff down the line. If you could maybe talk a little bit about that, as well?
Dana: Yeah, for sure I’d also like to see – and this is particular in AdWords. So when you’re doing social ads, of course you can segment really closely and so you want to get that higher click-through rate. But with AdWords, it’s hard to tell. Sometimes you can match up the different types of phrases that people use with the different types of intent and customer grouping and make a change there. But if you’re advertising on things like Current Search, for example, that’s a lot of searches which are not super segmented. But what I would like to see is you write an ad that’s interesting, maybe it gets a slightly less-than-awesome click-through rate but then your landing page conversion rate is much higher than when you write a generic ad. You get more clicks but you have a really low conversion rate. And that’s where you need to look at both sets of stats, not just the click-through rate in a vacuum.
Dan: Right. Yeah, we talk so much about how your landing page reinforces the message of your ad and could be a great support to your ad in terms of conversion and Quality Score and all of that. But it goes the other way around, as well. If your ad does a lot of the heavy lifting in terms of segmenting and qualifying those leads, then your landing page doesn’t have to do quite as much work.
Dana: Yeah, and you know, you don’t necessarily want to make your landing pages work too hard, right? I mean it’s that click is really that piece of work and then you’ve got them. And then it should be an easier process instead of the hard sell.
Dan: Then it’s just a matter of not screwing it up, which is sometimes easier said than done.
Dana: Yeah, please don’t send them to your homepage. Not that anybody listening to this podcast, I hope, sends anybody to their homepage after clicking on a PPC ad but yeah, you never know.
Dan: I hope not. Right. All right, well, since we’re data-driven marketers, here, I can’t really let you go without asking: what does brand-focused reporting look like?
Dana: So a lot of what we do with brand-focused reporting is really – it isn’t necessarily that monthly report that you get that talks about the number of visits that you got. It’s more looking at it qualitatively and saying, “Is this message aligning with your overall brand message?” And also looking at the quality of the leads that you’re getting in. So if you’re in a B2B business, that means things like lead scoring. It means communicating with the sales team and saying, “How are the leads that are coming, and please use lead scoring stuff in the CRM.” But additionally, ask the team and say, “How are the leads that are coming in? Are they good?” Often we’ll recommend to clients (when we work with clients that have an in-house marketing staff) like — go and hang out in a sales meeting and see how it’s going.
And over time, “Is it improving? Are they happier with the quality of leads that they’re getting?” Because this is your job and this is also the salespeople’s job to report back to you. And if you’re a business — let’s say bricks and mortar — look at the in-store conversion rate. Are the number of people walking in the door compared to the number of people buying, is that going up? Does that mean that we’re driving the right kind of people to the store? So if before we started doing this PPC ad to get more people to come to your store, and let’s say the percentage of people who walked into the store and bought is, say, 40 percent, and then after we do these ads now it’s 50 percent, that’s really improved your in-store conversion rate.
Dan: I love how it always seems to come down to the fact that this stuff is both an art and a science. That you know, we need to look at our data and trust our data and reap insights from that, but we also need understanding and buy-in across the organization about what our brand stands for, what our brand voice is so we can check that against the numbers.
Dana: Yes, absolutely. And I would also recommend, too, if you are interested in reporting, let’s see. At MOZcon 2014, I gave a talk there that was all about reporting. If you look up the MOZcon 2014 video bundle, and I imagine you can include a link in the podcast description as well, my video was the free video that year and I talk about reporting for 45 minutes. I just watched it again last week, actually, just to refresh my memory on some of the topics that I covered in that talk. But if you are struggling with figuring out the right stuff to report on, I would really recommend that talk. It doesn’t talk about brand specifically but you’ll find that a lot of it is applicable.
Dan: All right. Well, yeah, we will definitely link to that on our show page as well as of course your talk at Call to Action last year. Thank you so much, Dana, for taking the time to chat. This was great.
Dana: Yeah, thanks for having me.

Connected Superintendents Recording & Archive: Live Discussion with Pamela Moran and David Britten
Posted by Shelly Terrell on February 27, 2012 at 10:55am in Sample Title
On Wednesday, February 29th, at 9pm EST/ 6pm PST, members of the EDU PLN Ning and participants of #Edchat had the opportunity to join two forward thinking superintendents, Pamela Moran and David Britten for a live conversation about the impact and power of administrators being connected to social media.
**In case you missed the event, here is the recording to share with your administration or to view. You can also check out the transcript of the chat by clicking the file attached below!**
ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
During the six years that Pamela Moran has served as superintendent, Albemarle County Public Schools has continued a trajectory of excellence leading to recognition of its schools and departments as top performers across multiple performance measures. Dr. Moran takes pride in staff and community support to ensure that every learner has the opportunity to excel and embrace learning, which is key to the Division’s vision that all young people achieve future success after high school graduation. Despite the decrease in available revenues and increased enrollment, more Albemarle County students than ever graduate from high school. Achievement gaps have decreased significantly. Albemarle County graduates have one of the highest percentages of advanced studies diplomas (considered by the Virginia Board of Education as the “college ready” diploma) awarded in Virginia. Students in all four high schools attend the best, most highly competitive colleges in the country. Pamela Moran has served Albemarle County Public Schools as superintendent for six years, beginning in January 2005. During her educational career, she worked as a secondary science teacher, middle school associate principal, science grant director, staff development and gifted education coordinator, elementary principal, director of curriculum, assistant superintendent for instruction, and superintendent. She also has taught educational leadership and curriculum courses as an adjunct instructor for the University of Virginia’s Curry School and the School of Continuing Education. In 2010, Moran was appointed to the Governor’s Commission on Higher Education, and she currently serves as president-elect of the Virginia Association of School Superintendents. She has a B.S. from Furman University and an M.Ed and Ed.D from the University of Virginia.

Haplogroup U (mtDNA)
Haplogroup U is a human mitochondrial DNA haplogroup (mtDNA). The clade arose from haplogroup R, likely during the early Upper Paleolithic. Its various subclades (labelled U1–U9, diverging over the course of the Upper Paleolithic) are found widely distributed across Northern and Eastern Europe, Central, Western and South Asia, as well as North Africa, the Horn of Africa, and the Canary Islands.
Haplogroup U
Possible time of origin
46,500 ± 3,300 years ago[1]
Possible place of origin
Western Asia[2]
U1, U5, U6, U2'3'4'7'8'9
Defining mutations
11467, 12308, 12372[3]
The haplogroup U8b's most common subclade is haplogroup K, which is estimated to date to between 30,000 and 22,000 years ago.
OriginsEdit
Haplogroup U descends from the haplogroup R mtDNA branch of the phylogenetic tree. The defining mutations (A11467G, A12308G, G12372A) are estimated to have arisen between 43,000 and 50,000 years ago, in the early Upper Paleolithic (around 46,530 ± 3,290 years before present, with a 95% confidence interval per Behar et al., 2012).
Ancient DNA classified as belonging to the U* mitochondrial haplogroup has been recovered from human skeletal remains found in Western Siberia, which have been dated to c. 45,000 years ago.[4] The mitogenome (33-fold coverage) of the Peştera Muierii 1 individual (PM1) from Romania (35 ky cal BP) has been identified as the basal haplogroup U6* not previously found in any ancient or present-day humans.[5]
Haplogroup U has been found among Iberomaurusian specimens dating from the Epipaleolithic at the Taforalt and Afalou prehistoric sites.[6] Among the Taforalt individuals, around 13% of the observed haplotypes belonged to various U subclades, including U4a2b (1/24; 4%), U4c1 (1/24; 4%), and U6d3 (1/24; 4%). A further 41% of the analysed haplotypes could be assigned to either haplogroup U or haplogroup H. Among the Afalou individuals, 44% of the analysed haplotypes could be assigned to either haplogroup U or haplogroup H (3/9; 33%).[7]
Haplogroup U has also been observed among ancient Egyptian mummies excavated at the Abusir el-Meleq archaeological site in Middle Egypt, dated to the 1st millennium BC.[8]
Additionally, haplogroup U has been observed in ancient Guanche fossils excavated in Gran Canaria and Tenerife on the Canary Islands, which have been radiocarbon-dated to between the 7th and 11th centuries CE. All of the clade-bearing individuals were inhumed at the Tenerife site, with these specimens found to belong to the U6b1a (4/7; 57%) and U6b (1/7; 14%) subclades.[9]
DistributionEdit
Haplogroup U is found in 15% of Indian caste and 8% of Indian tribal populations.[10] Haplogroup U is found in approximately 11% of native Europeans and is held as the oldest maternal haplogroup found in that region.[10][11][12] In a 2013 study, all but one of the ancient modern human sequences from Europe belonged to maternal haplogroup U, thus confirming previous findings that haplogroup U was the dominant type of Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in Europe before the spread of agriculture into Europe and the presence and the spread of the Indo-Europeans in Western Europe.[13][14]
Haplogroup U has various subclades numbered U1 to U9. Haplogroup K is a subclade of U8.[15] The old age has led to a wide distribution of the descendant subgroups across Western Eurasia, North Africa, and South Asia. Some subclades of haplogroup U have a more specific geographic range.
SubcladesEdit
Subclades are labelled U1–U9; Haplogroup K is a subclade of U8.
Van Oven and Kayser (2009) proposed subclades "U2'3'4'7'8" and "U4'9".[3] Behar et al. (2012) amended this by grouping "U4'9" as subordinate to "U2'3'4'7'8" for a new intermediate subclade "U2'3'4'7'8'9".
Haplogroup U1Edit
The U1 subclades are: U1a (with deep-subclades U1a1, U1a1a, U1a1a1, U1a1b)[16] and U1b.[16]
Haplogroup U1 estimated to have arisen between 26,000 and 37,000 years ago. It is found at very low frequency throughout Europe. It is more often observed in eastern Europe, Anatolia and the Near East. It is also found at low frequencies in India. U1 is found in the Svanetia region of Georgia at 4.2%. Subclade U1a is found from India to Europe, but is extremely rare among the northern and Atlantic fringes of Europe including the British Isles and Scandinavia. Several examples in Tuscany have been noted. In India, U1a has been found in the Kerala region. U1b has a similar spread but is rarer than U1a. Some examples of U1b have been found among Jewish diaspora. Subclades U1a and U1b appear in equal frequency in eastern Europe.[17]
The rare U1 clade is also found among Algerians in Oran (0.83%-1.08%) and the Reguibat tribe of the Sahrawi (0.93%).[18]
The U1a1a subclade has been observed in an ancient individual excavated at the Kellis 2 cemetery in the Dakleh Oasis, located in the southwestern desert of Egypt. 21 of the Kellis burials have been radiocarbon-dated to around 80-445 AD, a timeframe within the Romano-Christian period.[19] Haplogroup U1 has also been found among specimens at the mainland cemetery in Kulubnarti, Sudan, which date from the Early Christian period (AD 550-800).[20]
DNA analysis of excavated remains now located at ruins of the Church of St. Augustine in Goa, India have also revealed the unique mtDNA subclade U1b. This sublineage is absent in India, but present in Georgia and surrounding regions.[21] Since the genetic analysis corroborates archaeological and literary evidence, it is believed that the excavated remains belong to Ketevan the Martyr, queen of Georgia.[21]
The age of U5 is estimated at between 25,000 and 35,000 years old.[22] Approximately 11% of Europeans and 10% of European-Americans have some of haplogroup U5.
U5 has been found in human remains dating from the Mesolithic in England, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Russia,[23] Sweden,[24] France[25] and Spain.[26] Neolithic skeletons (~7,000 years old) that were excavated from the Avellaner cave in Catalonia, northeastern Spain included a specimen carrying haplogroup U5.[27]
Haplogroup U5 and its subclades U5a and U5b today form the highest population concentrations in the far north, among Sami, Finns, and Estonians. However, it is spread widely at lower levels throughout Europe. This distribution, and the age of the haplogroup, indicate individuals belonging to this clade were part of the initial expansion tracking the retreat of ice sheets from Europe around 10,000 years ago.
Additionally, haplogroup U5 is found in small frequencies and at much lower diversity in the Near East and parts of northern Africa (areas with sizable U6 concentrations), suggesting back-migration of people from Europe toward the south.[28]
Mitochondrial haplogroup U5a has also been associated with HIV infected individuals displaying accelerated progression to AIDS and death.[29]
U5 was the main haplogroup of mesolithic European hunter gatherers. U haplogroups were present at 83% in European hunter gatherers before influx of Middle Eastern farmer and steppe Indo-European ancestry decreased its frequency to less than 21%.[19]
U5 has polymorphisms in the locations of 3197 9477 13617 16192 16270
U5a arose around 17,000 and 27,000 years ago and has polymorphisms in 14793 16256 ( + U5 polymorphisms).[30]
U5a1 arose between 14,000 and 20,000 years ago and has polymorphisms in 15218 16399 ( + U5a polymorphisms).
U5a1a arose between 8,000 and 16,000 years ago and has polymorphisms in 1700 16192 ( + U5a1 polymorphisms).
U5a1a1 arose between 3,000 and 11,000 years ago and has polymorphisms in 5495 15924 ( + U5a1a polymorphisms).

Projected frequencies for haplogroup U6 (top left) and several subclades.
Haplogroup U6 is dated to between 31,000 and 43,000 years ago by Behar et al. (2012). This is consistent with the discovery of basal U6* in a Romanian specimen of ancient DNA (Peștera Muierilor) dated to 35,000 years ago.[46] Hervella et al. (2016) take this find as evidence for Paleolithic back-migration of Homo sapiens from Eurasia into Africa. The discovery of basal U6* in ancient DNA contributed to setting back the estimated age of U6 to around 46,000 years ago.[47]
Haplogroup U6 is common (with a prevalence of around 10%)[28] in Northwest Africa (with a maximum of 29% in an Algerian Mozabites[48]) and the Canary Islands (18% on average with a peak frequency of 50.1% in La Gomera). It is also found in the Iberian peninsula, where it has the highest diversity (10 out of 19 sublineages are only found in this region and not in Africa),[49] Northeast Africa and occasionally in other locations. U6 is also found at low frequencies in the Chad Basin, including the rare Canarian branch. This suggests that the ancient U6 clade bearers may have inhabited or passed through the Chad Basin on their way westward toward the Canary Islands.[50]
U6 is thought to have entered North Africa from the Near East around 30,000 years ago. It has been found among Iberomaurusian specimens dating from the Epipaleolithic at the Taforalt prehistoric site.[51] In spite of the highest diversity of Iberian U6, Maca-Meyer argues for a Near East origin of this clade based on the highest diversity of subclade U6a in that region,[49] where it would have arrived from West Asia, with the Iberian incidence primarily representing migration from the Maghreb and not persistence of a European root population.[why?]
According to Hernández et al. 2015 "the estimated entrance of the North African U6 lineages into Iberia at 10 ky correlates well with other L African clades, indicating that U6 and some L lineages moved together from Africa to Iberia in the Early Holocene."[52]
U6 has four main subclades:[49][51]
Subgroup U6a reflects the first African expansion from the Maghreb returning to the east. Derivative clade U6a1 signals a posterior movement from East Africa back to the Maghreb and the Near East. This migration coincides with the probable Afroasiatic linguistic expansion. U6b and U6c clades, restricted to West Africa, had more localized expansions. U6b probably reached the Iberian Peninsula during the Capsian diffusion in North Africa. Two autochthonous derivatives of these clades (U6b1 and U6c1) indicate the arrival of North African settlers to the Canarian Archipelago in prehistoric times, most probably due to the Saharan desiccation. The absence of these Canarian lineages nowadays in Africa suggests important demographic movements in the western area of this Continent.
— Maca-Meyer 2003
U6a: subclade is the most widespread, stretching from the Canary Islands and Iberian Peninsula to the Horn of Africa and Near East. The subhaplogroup has its highest diversity in Northeast Africa. Ancient DNA analysis of Iberomaurusian skeletal remains at the Taforalt site in Morocco, which have been dated to the Later Stone Age between 15,100 and 13,900 ybp, observed the U6a subclade among most of the fossils (6/7; ~86%).[53] Fossils at the Early Neolithic site of Ifri n'Amr or Moussa in Morocco, which have been dated to around 5,000 BCE, have also been found to carry the U6a subhaplogroup. These ancient individuals bore an autochthonous Northwest African genomic component that peaks among modern Berbers, indicating that they were ancestral to populations in the area.[54] U6a's estimated age is 24-27,500 BP. It has one major subclade:
U6a1: similar distribution to U6a parent clade; found particularly among Copts (27.6%) and Beja (10.4%).[55] Estimated age: 15-20,000 BP.
U6b: shows a more patched and western distribution. In the Iberian peninsula, U6b is more frequent in the north, whereas U6a is more common in the south. It has also been found at low frequencies in Morocco, Algeria, Senegal and Nigeria. Estimated age: 8,500-24,500 BP. It has one subclade:
U6b1: found only in the Canary Islands and in the Iberian peninsula. Estimated age: c. 6000 BP.
U6c: only found in Morocco and Canary Islands. Estimated age: 6,000-17,500 BP.
U6d: most closely related to U6b. Localized in the Maghreb, with a presence in Europe. It arose between 10,000 and 13,000 BP.
U6a, U6b and U6d share a common basal mutation (16219) that is not present in U6c, whereas U6c has 11 unique mutations. U6b and U6d share a mutation (16311) not shared by U6a, which has three unique mutations.
U2'3'4'7'8'9Edit
Subclades U2, U3, U4, U7, U8 and U9 are now thought to be monophyletic, its common ancestor "U2'3'4'7'8'9" defined by mutation A1811G, arising between about 42,000 and 48,000 years ago (Behar et al., 2012). Within U2'3'4'7'8'9, U4 and U9 may be monophyletic, as "U4'9" (mutations T195C!, G499A, T5999C) arising between 31,000 and 43,000 years ago (Behar et al., 2012).
Haplogroup U2 is most common in South Asia[56] but is also found in low frequency in Central and West Asia, as well as in Europe as U2e (the European variety of U2 is named U2e).[57] The overall frequency of U2 in South Asia is largely accounted for by the group U2i in India whereas haplogroup U2e, common in Europe, is rare; given that these lineages diverged approximately 50,000-years-ago, these data have been interpreted as indicating very low maternal-line gene-flow between South Asia and Europe throughout this period.[56] Approximately one half of the U mtDNAs in India belong to the Indian-specific branches of haplogroup U2 (U2i: U2a, U2b and U2c).[56] While U2 is typically found in India, it is also present in the Nogais, descendants of various Mongolic and Turkic tribes, who formed the Nogai Horde.[58] Both U2 and U4 are found in the Ket and Nganasan peoples, the indigenous inhabitants of the Yenisei River basin and the Taymyr Peninsula.[59]
The U2 subclades are: U2a,[60] U2b,[61] U2c,[62] U2d,[63] and U2e.[64] With the India-specific subclades U2a, U2b, and U2c collectively referred to as U2i, the Eurasian haplogroup U2d appears to be a sister clade with the Indian haplogroup U2c,[65] while U2e is considered a European-specific subclade but also found in South India.[57]
Haplogroup U2 has been found in the remains of a 30,000-year-old hunter-gatherer from the Kostyonki, Voronezh Oblast in Central-South European Russia.,[66] in 4800 to 4000-year-old human remains from a Beaker culture site of the Late Neolithic in Kromsdorf Germany,[67] and in 2,000-year-old human remains from Bøgebjerggård in Southern Denmark. However, haplogroup U2 is rare in present-day Scandinavians.[68] The remains of a 2,000-year-old West Eurasian male of haplogroup U2e1 was found in the Xiongnu Cemetery of Northeast Mongolia.[69]
Haplogroup U3 falls into two subclades:: U3a[70] and U3b.[70]
Coalescence age for U3a is estimated as 18,000 to 26,000-years-ago while the coalescence age for U3b is estimated as 18,000 to 24,000-years-ago. U3a is found in Europe, the Near East, the Caucasus and North Africa. The almost-entirely European distributed subclade, U3a1, dated at 4000 to 7000-years-ago, suggests a relatively recent (late Holocene or later) expansion of these lineages in Europe. There is a minor U3c subclade (derived from U3a), represented by a single Azeri mtDNA from the Caucasus. U3b is widespread across the Middle East and the Caucasus, and it is found especially in Iran, Iraq and Yemen, with a minor European subclade, U3b1b, dated at 2000 to 3000-years-ago.[71] Haplogroup U3 is defined by the HVR1 transition A16343G. It is found at low levels throughout Europe (about 1% of the population), the Near East (about 2.5% of the population), and Central Asia (about 1% of the population). U3 is present in the Svan population from the Svaneti region (about 4.2% of the population) and among Lithuanian Romani, Polish Romani, and Spanish Romani populations (36-56%)[72][73][30] consistent with a common migration route from India then out-of-the Balkans for the Lithuanian, Polish, and Spanish Roma.[74]
The U3 clade is also found among Mozabite Berbers (10.59%),[18] as well as Egyptians in the El-Hayez (2.9%)[75] and Gurna oases (2.9%),[76] and Algerians in Oran (1.08%-1.25%).[18] The rare U3a subclade occurs among the Tuareg inhabiting Niger (3.23%).[77]
Haplogroup U3 has been found in some of the 6400-year-old remains (U3a) discovered in the caves at Wadi El‐Makkukh near Jericho associated with the Chalcolithic period.[78] Haplogroup U3 was already present in the West Eurasian gene pool around 6,000-years-ago and probably also its subclade U3a as well.[78]
Haplogroup U4 has its origin between 21,000 and 14,000 years ago. Its distribution is associated with the population bottleneck due to the Last Glacial Maximum.[72]
U4 has been found in ancient DNA,[79] and it is relatively rare in modern populations,[38] although it is found in substantial ratios in certain indigenous populations of Northern Asia and Northern Europe, being associated with the remnants of ancient European hunting-gatherers preserved in the indigenous populations of Siberia.[80][81][82] U4 is found in the Nganasan people of the Taymyr Peninsula,[59][83] in the Mansi (16.3%) an endangered people,[82] and in the Ket people (28.9%) of the Yenisei River.[82] It is found in Europe with highest concentrations in Scandinavia and the Baltic states.[84] and is found in the Sami population of the Scandinavian peninsula (although, U5b has a higher representation).[85] U4 is also preserved in the Kalash people (current population size 3,700)[86] a unique tribe among the Indo-Aryan peoples of Pakistan where U4 (subclade U4a1[87]) attains its highest frequency of 34%.[73][88]
The U4 subclades are: U4a,[89] U4b,[90] U4c,[91] and U4d.[92]
Haplogroup U4 is associated with ancient European hunter-gatherers and has been found in 7,200 to 6,000-year-old remains of the Pitted Ware culture in Gotland Sweden and in 4,400 to 3,800-year-old remains from the Damsbo site of the Danish Beaker culture.[93][24][94] Remains identified as subclade U4a2 are associated with the Corded Ware culture, which flourished 5200 to 4300 years ago in Eastern and Central Europe and encompassed most of continental northern Europe from the Volga River in the east to the Rhine in the west.[95] Mitochondrial DNA recovered from 3,500 to 3,300-year-old remains at the Bredtoftegård site in Denmark associated with the Nordic Bronze Age include haplogroup U4 with 16179T in its HVR1 indicative of subclade U4c1.[94][96][94][97]
Haplogroup U7 is considered a West Eurasian-specific mtDNA haplogroup, believed to have originated in the Black Sea area approximately 30,000-years-ago.[56][98][99] In modern populations, U7 occurs at low frequency in the Caucasus,[99] the western Siberian tribes,[100] West Asia (about 4% in the Near East, while peaking with 10% in Iranians),[56] South Asia (about 12% in Gujarat, the westernmost state of India, while for the whole of India its frequency stays around 2%, and 5% in Pakistan),[56] and the Vedda people of Sri Lanka where it reaches it highest frequency of 13.33% (subclade U7a).[101] One third of the West Eurasian-specific mtDNAs found in India are in haplogroups U7, R2 and W. It is speculated that large-scale immigration carried these mitochondrial haplogroups into India.[56]
The U7 subclades are: U7a (with deep-subclades U7a1, U7a2, U7a2a, U7a2b)[102] and U7b.[102]
Genetic analysis of individuals associated with the Late Hallstatt culture from Baden-Württemberg Germany considered to be examples of Iron Age "princely burials" included haplogroup U7.[103] Haplogroup U7 was reported to have been found in 1200-year-old human remains (dating to around 834), in a woman believed to be from a royal clan who was buried with the Viking Oseberg Ship in Norway.[104] Haplogroup U7 was found in 1000-year-old human remains (dating to around AD 1000-1250) in a Christian cemetery is Kongemarken Denmark. However, U7 is rare among present-day ethnic Scandinavians.[100]
The U7a subclade is especially common among Saudis, constituting around 30% of maternal lineages in the Eastern Province.[105]
The subclade U7a4 point to an origin in the Near East. It peaks among the modern inhabitants of Azerbaijan (26%) and Iranian Azerbaijanis (16-22%), while occurring in the rest of Iran at frequencies from 2-16%, with moderate frequencies of 14-17% in the western parts of Iraq and 1-19% in the Arabian Peninsula. In lower frequencies it is also found in Turkmenistan (2-10%), western parts of Kazakhstan (2-10%), Syria (3-7%), Uzbekistan (2-6%), Central Anatolia (2-4%), South Punjab (1-2%), and Afghanistan (0-2%). U7a4 was also observed in one instance in Tuscany and two other in European Russia.
Further information: Haplogroup K (mtDNA)
U8a: The Basques have the most ancestral phylogeny in Europe for the mitochondrial haplogroup U8a. This is a rare subgroup of U8, placing the Basque origin of this lineage in the Upper Palaeolithic. The lack of U8a lineages in Africa suggests that their ancestors may have originated from West Asia.[15]
U8b: This clade has been found in Italy and Jordan.[15]
Haplogroup K makes up a sizeable fraction of European and West Asian mtDNA lineages. It is now known it is actually a subclade of haplogroup U8b'K,[15] and is believed to have first arisen in northeastern Italy. Haplogroup UK shows some evidence of being highly protective against AIDS progression.[29]
Haplogroup U9 is a rare clade in mtDNA phylogeny, characterized only recently in a few populations of Pakistan (Quintana-Murci et al. 2004). Its presence in Ethiopia and Yemen, together with some Indian-specific M lineages in the Yemeni sample, points to gene flow along the coast of the Arabian Sea. Haplogroups U9 and U4 share two common mutations at the root of their phylogeny. It is interesting that, in Pakistan, U9 occurs frequently only among the so-called Makrani population. In this particular population, lineages specific to parts of Eastern Africa occur as frequently as 39%, which suggests that U9 lineages in Pakistan may have an origin from this area (Quintana-Murci et al. 2004). Regardless of which coast of the Arabian Sea may have been the origin of U9, its Ethiopian–southern Arabian–Indus Basin distribution hints that the subclade's diversification from U4 may have occurred in regions far away from the current area of the highest diversity and frequency of haplogroup U4—East Europe and western Siberia.[106]

Subcluster U5b2a is characterized by a predominantly central European distribution, since a large number of U5b samples from Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic fall into this subcluster. For instance, subcluster U5b2a2 is frequent in central Europe (with the highest frequency of its subcluster U5b2a2a1 in Poles) and dated as arising between 12–18 kya [...] It is also remarkable that within U5b2a1a, a Mediterranean branch precedes subcluster U5b2a1a1, which is characteristic of central and eastern European populations (Figure 1). Another U5b subcluster, U5b3, has its most likely homeland in the Italian Peninsula, from where it expanded in the Holocene along the Mediterranean coasts [11]. Hence, in general one may conclude that an initial diversification of U5b occurred in southern and central Europe, followed by the spread of a particular U5b subclusters into eastern Europe.

Will the real GOP candidate please stand up?
By David Von Drehle Monday, Feb. 06, 2012
Peter van Agtmael / Magnum for TIME
Former Speaker of the House, and Republican presidential candidate, Newt Gingrich, greets supporters at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Anderson, South Carolina on Primary Day, Jan. 21, 2012
Let's see if we have this straight.
Heading into the Florida Republican presidential primary on Jan. 31, surging outsider Newt Gingrich was threatening to knock off Establishment front runner Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts. By channeling the anger of the Tea Party movement, Gingrich roared to victory in South Carolina in time to thwart the Romney coronation.
Clear enough. Except the "outsider" is a guy who has been around Washington for 30-plus years and was just two heartbeats away from the presidency during his service as Speaker of the House. And the "front runner" is a fellow who not long ago was having trouble keeping up with a refugee from the pizza-delivery industry. And Romney's earlier "victory" in Iowa was actually second place. And the "Establishment," well ...
"I don't know what the Republican establishment is," says Jeb Bush, a former GOP governor of Florida. "I haven't learned the secret handshake, and I don't know where to go for a membership card." That's Jeb B-U-S-H, as in Reagan-Bush, Bush-Quayle, Bush-Cheney; as in three generations that include a Republican Senator, a party chairman, governors and Presidents. Jeb's membership card was stapled to his birth certificate, so what's the point in his saying there is no Establishment unless this year there actually is no Establishment?
This race is making America's head spin.
After his eight-vote win in Iowa that was actually a 34-vote loss (or maybe not--the folks counting the votes finally gave up trying), Romney was locked in battle with former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum. That's when Gingrich, plummeting in the polls, burst back into the lead, thanks in part to a televised interview in which his second ex-wife said Gingrich once asked for an "open marriage." Romney, meanwhile, damaged his hopes of leading the low-tax party by revealing that he pays a low tax rate. He also scrambled to answer charges that he invested millions of dollars in American businesses.
The wild card in the race is Ron Paul of Texas, 76, on account of his strong appeal to the youth vote. Santorum is hanging in there too, in case something, um, unexpected happens.
How Newt Roared Back
Any attempt to make sense of the race at some point runs smack into the fact that the race doesn't make much sense. The Republican Party is still reeling from the explosions of 2006 and '08, which blew apart constituencies no longer happy together. The nation-building neoconservatives, eager to improve the world, clashed with the America-first conservatives; the pork-barreling K Streeters clashed with the genuine fiscal conservatives; the prim social conservatives clashed with the libertarians; the pro-immigrant crowd clashed with the border-sealing caucus; and so on. The impulse at party headquarters was to slap a Band-Aid emblazoned with Ronald Reagan's smiling face over the wounds, which might have worked for a while--until the whole economy collapsed.

Pravda | Article about Pravda by The Free Dictionary
https://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Pravda
(formerly Khirochi), an urban-type settlement in Kholmsk Raion, Sakhalin Oblast, RSFSR. It is located in the southwestern part of the island of Sakhalin, on the Tatar Strait. Pravda has a fishing kolkhoz, a fur-breeding sovkhoz, a fish hatchery, and a container-manufacturing enterprise.
(Truth), a Slovak-language daily and the main organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Slovakia (CPS). Founded in September 1919 as the main organ of the Czechoslovak Social Democratic Party (Marxist Left) in Slovakia, the newspaper became the organ of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia in May 1921. It was called Pravda chudoby (Truth of the Poor) until 1925. Because it was frequently banned, the newspaper came out under various names or illegally. In September 1944, during the Slovak national uprising, the paper became the organ of the CPS. It is published in Bratislava. Circulation, 250,000 (1974).
Pravda was awarded the Order of Labor in 1960, the Order of the Republic in 1970, and the Order of Victorious February in 1973.
(Truth), a daily newspaper and the press organ of the Central Committee of the CPSU, published in Moscow. Founded by Lenin in 1912, Pravda is the largest and most popular newspaper in the Soviet Union. Together with the party, it has traveled a long road in the struggle for the victory of the socialist revolution and for the building of socialism. Performing the function of collective agitator, propagandist, and organizer of the working people, Pravda has become a newspaper of all the people of the USSR and is the most authoritative paper today.
Pravda was established by a decision of the Sixth (Prague) All-Russian Conference of the RSDLP in January 1912 in response to the workers’ desire to have their own daily paper. The first issue came out in St. Petersburg on Apr. 22 (May 5), 1912, and since Apr. 22 (May 5), 1914, this date was commemorated as the working-class press day. Since 1922, April 22 (May 5) has been officially observed as Press Day.
Pravda was simultaneously a legal workers’ daily with a mass circulation and the de facto press organ of the Bolshevik Party. (The main organ of the RSDLP from 1908 to 1917 was the newspaper Sotsial-demokrat [Social Democrat], published abroad and circulated in Russia illegally.) In starting Pravda the party relied on its experience in issuing many legal and illegal papers, notably Iskra (Spark), Vpered (Forward), Proletarii (Proletarian), Novaia zhizn’ (New Life), and Zvezda (Star).
The actual editor and guiding spirit of the newspaper was Lenin. He determined its orientation, carefully selected its writing and editing staff, and worked out the format. Between 1912 and 1914 alone, the paper published some 300 articles by Lenin. The paper’s publishers, as well as active contributors, were the Bolshevik members of the Fourth Duma—A. E. Badaev, M. K. Muranov, G. I. Petrovskii, F. N. Samoilov, and N. R. Shagov.
Among others who organized, edited, and contributed to Pravda were N. N. Baturin, A. S. Bubnov, A. I. Vinokurov, S. S. Danilov, M. E. Egorov, K. S. Eremeev, B. I. Ivanov, M. I. Kalinin, E. I. Kviring, N. K. Krupskaia, N. V. Krylenko, S. V. Malyshev, L. R. Menzhinskaia, V. R. Menzhinskii, L. M. Mikhailov, V. M. Molotov, S. M. Nakhimson, V. I. Nevskii, D. Ia. Odintsov, M. S. Ol’minskii, N. I. Podvoiskii, N. G. Poletaev, E. F. Rozmirovich, M. A. Savel’ev, K. N. Samoilova, Ia. M. Sverdlov, N. A. Skrypnik, J. V. Stalin, P. I. Stuchka, A. I. Ul’ianova-Elizarova, G. L. Shidlovskii, and E. M. Iaroslavskii. Several persons wrote regularly for Pravda from abroad, including A. M. Kollontai, I. F. Armand, F. A. Artem (Sergeev), L. N. Stal’, and Iu. M. Steklov. Another frequent contributor and the newspaper’s poet was D. Bednyi. M. Gorky headed the literary section from 1912 to 1914.
Pravda was financed by voluntary contributions from workers, many of whom were active contributors, correspondents, and distributors. Between 1912 and 1914 the paper published contributions from more than 16,000 workers. The newspaper’s daily circulation averaged 40,000, reaching 60,000 some months.
From 1912 to 1914, Pravda played a major role in disseminating Bolshevik slogans and promoting the tactics of combining illegal and legal party work among the masses, in combating the Menshevik Liquidators, Trotskyists, and other opportunists, and in organizing the working class and educating it politically. Pravda published reports on the proletarian struggle in various cities throughout the country, as well as so-called factory exposés—letters about working conditions and the everyday life of the workers. All this helped strengthen the mass movement of the proletariat. Pravda also included articles about the life of the village, wrote about the need to confiscate all landlords’ estates in the interest of the peasantry, and called upon all strata of the working people to unite under the leadership of the working class in the struggle against autocracy and social and national oppression.
The tsarist regime relentlessly harassed the newspaper. Out of the 645 issues that appeared from 1912 to 1914, 190 were suppressed. The government closed down the newspaper eight times, but Pravda continued to appear under other names. In 1913 it was issued as Rabochaia pravda (Workers’ Truth), Severnaia pravda (Northern Truth), Pravda truda (The Truth of Labor), and Za pravdu (For Truth), and in 1914 it came out under the name Proletarskaia pravda (Proletarian Truth), Put’ pravdy (The Path of Truth), Rabochii (Worker), and Trudovaia pravda (Labor Truth). On July 8, 1914, on the eve of World War I, the tsarist government banned the paper and arrested its staff.
After the overthrow of the tsarist regime, Pravda resumed publication on Mar. 5 (18), 1917, as the organ of the Central Committee and the St. Petersburg Committee of the RSDLP (Bolshevik). After his return from abroad on Apr. 5 (18), 1917, Lenin joined the editorial board. From March to July 1917 the editorial board included, at various times, Eremeev, Kalinin, Muranov, Ol’minskii, and Stalin, and its secretary was M. I. Ul’ianova. The newspaper promoted the strategy and tactics of the Bolshevik Party and performed a vital ideological and educative function. It consistently exposed the essentially antipopular policies of the bourgeois Provisional Government, unmasked the opportunism of the Mensheviks and Socialist Revolutionaries, and mobilized the masses for the socialist revolution. Pravda published major party documents and materials and Lenin’s writings (207 articles by him between March and Oct. 25, 1917). Its circulation rose to 85,000–90,000.
On July 5 (18), 1917, Pravda’s editorial offices were destroyed by military cadets, and from July to October the paper, persecuted by the Provisional Government, again came out under other names: Listok “Pravdy” (Leaflet of Pravda), Rabochii i soldat (Worker and Soldier), Proletarii (Proletarian), Rabochii (Worker), and Rabochii put’ (Workers’ Way). On Oct. 27 (Nov. 9), 1917, the paper, now the main organ of the Central Committee of the RSDLP (Bolshevik), reassumed the name Pravda. Since Mar. 16, 1918, Pravda has been published in Moscow. Prior to 1925 it was first the organ of the Central Committee and Moscow Committee of the RCP (Bolshevik), from 1925, the ACP (Bolshevik). In October 1952 it was designated the organ of the Central Committee of the CPSU.
After the victory of the Great October Socialist Revolution, Pravda published the most important resolutions of the Communist Party and Soviet government, as well as articles and reports by Lenin setting forth the tasks involved in building the world’s first socialist state. (Between Oct. 25 [Nov. 7], 1917, and mid-January 1928 the paper published 345 of Lenin’s works.)
During the Civil War (1918–20), Pravda’s main task was to mobilize the masses to resist the united forces of domestic and international counterrevolution. After the war the newspaper appealed to the masses to counteract the economic dislocation and to work for the reconstruction of industry and agriculture. At all stages of the development of Soviet society Pravda was an instrument of the party in its struggle to carry out its strategic, tactical, and organizational tasks, to maintain the purity of Marxist-Leninist doctrine, to put into practice the economic development plans, and to raise the workers’ material and cultural level.
During the prewar five-year plans (1929–40) Pravda did a great deal of organizational work in developing socialist emulation, promoting shock-work methods and the Stakhanovite movement, and fostering a communist attitude toward labor among workers. Editorial “field offices” were established at the largest construction sites, for example, the Stalingrad Tractor Works, the Gorky Automotive Plant, and the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Plant. During the collectivization of agriculture, Pravda made a most important contribution to the strengthening of the kolkhozes, machine and tractor stations, and sovkhozes. The paper disseminated the great principles of Soviet democracy, urging all working people to participate in the governing of the country.
Pravda played a significant part in carrying out the cultural revolution in the USSR, systematically discussing questions relating to the development of public education, literature, and art and publishing the best works by Soviet writers. Among the prominent Soviet scientists and scholars who contributed to Pravda were I. V. Michurin, S. I. Vavilov, O. Iu. Shmidt, D. N. Prianishnikov, and I. M. Gubkin. The works of such famous writers as M. Gorky, V. V. Mayakovsky, M. A. Sholokhov, A. A. Fadeev, A. S. Serafimovich, V. V. Vishnevskii, and A. A. Surkov were published by the paper, and essays and feuilletons by A. I. Kolosov, M. E. Kol’tsov, and D. I. Zaslavskii appeared regularly.
While focusing primarily on problems of economic development, Pravda also called for the strengthening of the defense capabilities of the USSR. It educated the Soviet people in patriotism, proletarian internationalism, and political vigilance, exposed fascism, and campaigned against the imperialist warmongers.
During the Great Patriotic War (1941–45), Pravda was the fiery agitator and organizer of the nationwide struggle against the fascist aggressors. Through Pravda the party Central Committee addressed the people and the army, confronting them with the most urgent tasks relating to the war. The newspaper made the masses aware of the Leninist idea of defending the socialist fatherland and disseminated the current slogans of the party. It published the speeches and articles of party, government, and military leaders. Some of the oldest party activists spoke out through the pages of Pravda—V. A. Karpinskii, F. Ia. Kon, G. M. Krzhizhanovskii, D. Z. Manuil’skii, N. A. Semashko, E. D. Stasova, and E. M. Iaroslavskii. Prominent leaders of the international communist and workers’ movement also contributed to the paper, among them G. Dimitrov, K. Gottwald, D. Ibarruri, W. Pieck, P. Togliatti, M. Thorez, and W. Ulbricht.
During the war Pravda published communiques issued by the Soviet Information Bureau, information about domestic and international events, and articles about the heroism of Soviet soldiers and guerrillas, the heroic feats of labor by workers and collective farmers, and the patriotic acts of Soviet citizens. It also published documents revealing the brutality of the Hitlerites. The paper’s circulation increased by 150 percent. Field editorial offices of Pravda were set up at a number of defense plants, and dozens of contributors worked at the front lines as special correspondents, including P. A. Lidov, V. M. Kozhevnikov, B. N. Polevoi, and S. A. Borzenko. Among famous Soviet writers whose articles and literary works appeared in Pravda were A. N. Tolstoy, M. A. Sholokhov, K. A. Fedin, A. A. Fadeev, V. P. Stavskii, K. M. Simonov, A. E. Korneichuk, B. L. Gorbatov, A. T. Tvardovskii, S. Ia. Marshak, and I. G. Ehrenburg. Political cartoons were contributed by the Kukryniksy group (M. V. Kupriianov, P. N. Krylov, and N. A. Sokolov) and by B. E. Efimov.
After the victory of the Soviet Union in the Great Patriotic War, Pravda gave extensive coverage to the Soviet people’s efforts to restore and further develop the national economy. The newspaper devoted considerable space to questions concerning the establishment of the world socialist system, the national liberation movement, and the peace policy of the USSR. Speeches by famous fighters for peace were printed in Pravda, including F. Joliot-Curie, J. Bernal, A. Seghers, P. Robeson, P. Neruda, and N. S. Tikhonov. The newspaper was active in disseminating the ideas of the CPSU program adopted at the Twenty-second Party Congress in 1961. Nearly 16,000 readers of Pravda participated in a discussion of the draft of the new program and party rules, and a number of special issues were devoted to detailed discussions of various provisions in the CPSU program.
Today, Pravda focuses on the tasks of creating the material and technical basis for communism, perfecting socialist relations in the society, and educating the new man. It is working for the practical realization of the economic and social policies of the CPSU and for the implementation of the Soviet policy of peace in the international arena.
One of the most important areas of Pravda’s activity is theoretical and propaganda work. The newspaper reveals the scientific principles underlying the party’s policies and explains the reasons for its growing role in a developed socialist society. It also elucidates problems relating to Marxist-Leninist theory and to the scientific and technological revolution and discusses the current objectives of increasing the efficiency of the Soviet economy, improving management in production, and developing socialist democracy. Pravda widely publicizes the proceedings of party congresses, Central Committee plenums, and sessions of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR and publishes decrees and resolutions issued by the Central Committee of the CPSU, the Soviet government, and international conferences of communist and workers’ parties.
Series of articles are published commemorating noteworthy events in the life of Soviet society, for example, the 50th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution (1967), the 100th anniversary of Lenin’s birth (1970), the 50th anniversary of the formation of the USSR (1972), and the 70th anniversary of the party’s Second Congress (1973). Pravda exposes the attempts of bourgeois propagandists, as well as right-wing and “left-wing” opportunists, to distort Marxist-Leninist doctrine and the practical experience of building socialism and communism in the USSR.
Questions relating to the party have an important place in Pravda. There are analyses of the experience of party organizations in directing economic, cultural, and ideological work. Other articles deal with such intraparty concerns as raising the level of ideological awareness among Communists and strengthening their vanguard role, putting into practice the Leninist norms of party life and principles of party leadership, improving the techniques and style of party committees’ work, and developing criticism and self-criticism. Discussions and debates on both theoretical and organizational subjects appear in the pages of Pravda.
Pravda’s treatment of problems of economic construction, of agricultural and industrial development, is closely linked with practical analyses of socialist emulation at various plants, kolkhozes, and sovkhozes, with promoting advanced methods of work, management, and administration, and with inculcating in Soviet citizens a conscious and creative attitude toward labor and a responsible attitude toward society. Through Pravda the masses participate in people’s supervision by revealing shortcomings at enterprises and institutions in their letters to the editor and contributing articles.
The material published in Pravda deals with the economic and cultural life of all the Soviet republics, the achievements of Soviet science, and questions relating to public health and education, literature and art, environmental protection, physical training, and sports.
Every issue of Pravda includes detailed information about world events. Speeches and articles by leaders of the Communist and workers’ parties and by progressive public figures abroad are published regularly. Much attention is given to further strengthening and developing world socialism and economic integration, to life in the socialist countries, and to the implementation of the Peace Program of the Twenty-fourth Congress of the CPSU. Pravda sheds light on every aspect of the present-day world revolutionary process and systematically examines questions relating to the international communist and workers’ movement and the national liberation struggle of various peoples.
In 1975, Pravda’s circulation averaged 10.6 million. It was printed simultaneously in 42 cities from pages transmitted by phototelegraphy or from matrices delivered by plane. The paper has subscribers in more than 120 foreign countries.
The editorial staff is headed by a board approved by the Central Committee of the CPSU. Among its former editors in chief were M. A. Savel’ev, L. Z. Mekhlis, P. N. Pospelov, M. A. Suslov, L. F. Il’ichev, and M. V. Zimianin. In 1976 the position was taken by V. G. Afonas’ev. The staff consists of 22 departments and the Press Bureau, which prepares material for local papers. Pravda had 105 full-time correspondents working within the country and abroad. In addition, hundreds of nonstaff correspondents contribute to Pravda. The editors daily receive more than 1,300 letters, totaling more than 450,000 annually. Letters are used in almost every issue—for example, in surveys of events or in sections of related news items (podborki)—and serve as an extremely important source of information and as an expression of public opinion. To render theoretical and methodological assistance to those who work for or contribute to the Soviet press, Pravda publishes the magazine Raboche-krest’ianskii korrespondent (The Worker or Peasant Correspondent), as well as the magazine Zhurnalist (Journalist), the latter jointly with the Union of Journalists of the USSR.
Pravda has been awarded two Orders of Lenin (1945 and 1962) and the Order of the October Revolution (1972).

Stone Soup Ribbon Cutting
Stone Soup Community Center celebrated the near completion of the Green Rebuild and Collaborative Training Project with a Ribbon Cutting on Tuesday, December 3, 2013.
Stone Soup is a coalition of community groups, grassroots activists, and artists who came together in 2006 to serve a disadvantaged neighborhood in central Massachusetts through a variety of projects and activities – most notably the establishment of a community center that functions as a neighborhood anchor and safe haven for children and adults. Over a dozen groups maintained offices and used the space on a regular basis and many others hosted events there, including a community bicycle repair and advocacy group, a prisoner solidarity group, a community art studio and gallery; an immigrant coalition, an environmental justice organization, and the local chapter of the ACLU. All members are co-owners and collaborators in defining the space. In their words, “It is not just ownership of the building that gives the organization a sense of sustainability; it is also ownership of the decision-making process that makes the collective work.”
When an electrical fire in 2009 rendered their building uninhabitable, the collective remained intact and engaged in a slow but steady capital campaign to rehabilitate and expand the building. As general contractor they chose Youth Build Boston, a nonprofit that provides jobs and training in the building trades to young adults, and the local carpenters’ union provided substantial in-kind goods and services. Several other community-focused organizations also participated in creating a long-lasting, energy efficient, and economically sustainable community-owned building. An Equity Trust loan in 2013 provided the final piece of financing needed to complete the project.

TSMC forecasts sales to fall 22% sequentially in Q1
C.C. Wei (left), TSMC's Vice Chairman, and Mark Liu, TSMC's Chiarman
Taipei, Jan. 17 (CNA) Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), the world's largest contract chipmaker, said Thursday its consolidated sales for the first quarter of this year could fall 22 percent from a quarter earlier in reflection of a slower global economy and inventory adjustments in the industry.
In an investor conference, Lora Ho (何麗梅), senior vice president and chief financial officer of TSMC, said with the global economic growth momentum moderating to push down demand, TSMC is expected to post US$7.3 billion to US$7.4 billion in consolidated sales for the January-March period, down 22 percent from the previous quarter.
The sequential fall caught the market off guard as an earlier estimate pointed to a fall of 10-20 percent, indicating the semiconductor giant has turned more cautious about the business outlook.
Ho said inventory adjustments are even likely to continue into the middle of this year.
Before the investor conference started, TSMC reported NT$99.98 billion in net profit for the fourth quarter, up 12.3 percent from a quarter earlier on sales of NT$289.77 billion (US$9.40 billion), which were up 11.3 percent from the third quarter.
In 2018, it posted NT$351.13 billion in net profit, a record high, up 2.3 percent from a year earlier, with earnings per share at NT$13.54, compared with NT$13.23 in 2017.
For the first quarter of this year, TSMC's gross margin, which reflects the difference between revenue and cost of goods sold, is expected to range between 43 and 45 percent, down 2.7-4.7 percentage points from a quarter earlier, Ho said.
Ho added that its operating margin -- the difference between sales, the cost of goods sold and operating expenses -- is expected to range between 31 and 33 percent in the first quarter, down from 37 percent a quarter earlier.
Also in the investor conference, TSMC Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman C.C. Wei (魏哲家) said he feared the company will not be able to achieve an earlier goal of posting a 5-10 percent increase in sales for 2019. On the sidelines of the conference, Ho told journalists that the growth rate may hit only 1-3 percent this year.
Wei said the global semiconductor industry, excluding memory chip production, will likely record only a 1 percent increase in sales for 2019, compared with an 8 percent rise in 2018.
As for the pure foundry industry, Wei said, sales this year could remain unchanged from a year earlier, falling behind a 6 percent increase in 2018.
Due to the weakening demand which is expected to send TSMC's capacity utilization rate lower, the chipmaker has decided to lower its capital expenditure target to a range of US$10 billion to US$11 billion from its previous planned range of US$10 billion to US$12 billion.
Out of the 2019 capex, 80 percent will be used in development of advanced 7 nanometer, 5nm and 3nm processes, 10 percent for high-end packaging and testing technology, and the other 10 percent in special processes, TSMC said.
While TSMC cut its sales forecasts for the first quarter and even for the entire 2019, the chipmaker said it remains confident in its 7nm technology, expecting chips made on the process to account for 25 percent of its total sales in 2019, up from only 9 percent in 2018.
TSMC said sales generated from chips used in the Internet of Things could rise at a double-digit pace this year, while revenue generated from chips used in high performance computing, including applications in mining devices used for cryptocurrency transactions, could fall by double digits.
Although TSMC is cautious about the business outlook for 2019, the company is expected to raise its cash dividend payout since its net profit hit a record high in 2018. Last year, the chipmaker issued NT$8 in cash dividend per share, a new high in the company's history.
The cash dividend payout will be decided in a board meeting scheduled for February.

The WestRock Foundation Supports Projects of The Nature Conservancy
Paper and packaging company partners to preserve forestlands and freshwater in Virginia and Tennessee
The Nature Conservancy and WestRock Foundation announced a partnership for two conservation projects in Southeast Virginia and along the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee. Aligning with The Nature Conservancy, whose mission is to conserve lands and water for people today and for future generations, further demonstrates WestRock’s commitment to sustainable forestry and environmental stewardship.
“The Nature Conservancy thanks the WestRock Foundation for their generous support of our goal to restore longleaf pine forest in Virginia,” said Bill Kittrell, acting Director of The Nature Conservancy in Virginia. “This gift will allow us to expand the Big Woods Conservation Area and protect vital floodplain forest along the Nottaway river, which will preserve water quality, support rare species like the red-cockaded woodpecker, and one day be home to the returning longleaf pine tree.”
The WestRock Foundation’s funding in Virginia will help The Conservancy establish conservation easements over 10,000 acres of forestland along the Nottoway River and nearby Big Woods Conservation Area. These easements will preserve high-quality, ecologically diverse floodplain forest and support the restoration of longleaf pine savannas, home to rare red-cockaded woodpeckers and bobwhite quail. In addition to the forest and wildlife benefits of this project, a portion of the targeted conservation region includes acreage in one of the most biologically diverse stretches of the Nottoway River, which is a tributary of the Albemarle Sound. River protection resulting from the project will benefit freshwater flows into the Albemarle Sound estuary, which supports a variety of recreational and commercial uses.
“With the support of the WestRock Foundation, The Nature Conservancy will also be able to preserve critical forestlands and important streams across Tennessee’s Cumberland Plateau,” said Terry Cook, State Director for The Nature Conservancy in Tennessee. “Our scientific analysis has enabled us to target biologically rich and resilient forest areas that we will protect through acquisition and sustainable forestry agreements with private landowners. Thanks to the WestRock Foundation, these forests will remain intact and healthy, benefitting people as well as many imperiled species that live there.”
In Tennessee, the WestRock Foundation’s funding will support land acquisition for conservation, along with efforts to grow forest certifications and increase participation in The Conservancy’s Working Woodlands program in the Cumberland Plateau. Working Woodlands is designed to empower private landowners to conserve their lands as working forests while improving forest management and water quality in headwater streams through the application of forestry best management practices.
“The initiatives, and the WestRock Foundation’s pledge, speak to the importance of shared goals,” says Kevin Hudson, senior vice president, WestRock and board member of the WestRock Foundation. “The mission and work of The Nature Conservancy and the WestRock Foundation’s commitment to sustainable forest management and environmental stewardship all align to promote sustained forest health, wildlife diversity and water quality for this generation and those to come.”

Looking Back on Our First Year at Extended Play
by The Civilians February 18, 2016
We are celebrating one year of bringing you some of the most exciting stories about investigative theater artists from around the world! Here, we speak to some of the artists we've covered since Extended Play launched last year.
Earlier this month, we celebrated our first birthday at Extended Play. Today, we are taking stock of the stories we’ve shared about investigative theater happening around the world. We recently spoke to a few of the artists we covered this year to see what’s new. Below, check out links to a few notable Extended Play articles from this past year, followed by updates from the artists.

In early October, we interviewed the Yes Men, the activist performance duo fronted by Jacques Servin and Igor Vamos. The week we published our conversation, at Politicon, these political pranksters welcomed “Edward Snowden” to his first in-person appearance in the US — well, sort of. The duo brought a Snowden look-alike onstage after announcing that President Obama had pardoned the notorious CIA whistle blower. Then, for Halloween they haunted Ft. Detrick, Maryland, as ghosts of the victims of biological waste contamination. Later, Andy (a.k.a. Jacques) wrote a piece about their Greenpeace in Greenland trip in Rolling Stone magazine. And most recently, in January, the Yes Men “defense and security consultant” introduced a solution to terrorism at European Parliament. Finally, although they tend not to talk about target issues before the reveal phase of projects, they are nearly ready to reveal their hand in a project code-named #TrumpForPresident.

In November, we published a commentary Nilaja wrote about performing her latest solo show, “Pike St.,” in her native Lower East Side. She received rave reviews for the piece, which ran at the Abrons Arts Center in November and December 2015, and is currently planning a national and international tour of it with Epic Theatre Ensemble. She continues to teach in NYC and will be directing the Urban Youth Theatre’s Spring production at the Abrons, where she took her first art classes.
Katie Pearl and Lisa D’Amour (PearlDamour) and the Milton Project

Last April, we spoke to director Katie Pearl about the Milton Project, which PearlDamour — her company with playwright Lisa D’Amour — has been working on for the past few years. Having already mounted one production in Milton, North Carolina, they are actively working on projects in other Miltons across the U.S. Here’s what they have to say about the project’s current status:
“We’re deep into working with Milton-Freewater, Oregon, on the project there. Our show will happen in June, on the stage of the high school. We worked with the city of Milton-Freewater and received an Our Town grant from the N.E.A. to expand our impact there, so actually our Milton performance is now couched within a larger city-wide project called “Talk, Play, Dream — Hablar, Jugar, Soñar.” It’s a year and half of bilingual creative and cultural programming to encourage the Anglo and Latino communities in Milton-Freewater to share experiences and dream together about the future of their town.
“The reason our focus is bilingual is because the population of Milton-Freewater is split almost equally between Anglos and Hispanics — who mostly come from the same area in Mexico — and a good portion of the Mexican community is monolingual. So, similar to how our goal in Milton, North Carolina was to create an experience that could be shared by the white and African American communities, we’re working to create arts-based events to be shared by the two communities here. To that end, we’re adapting our script to be a totally bilingual experience, and have been working with a native Spanish speaker professor, as well as with a team of high school students, to be our experts in regards to local references and language in the script.
“On the other side of the country, we’re also continuing planning and grant-writing work with a local cohort in Milton, Massachusetts, to start bringing the project there. They’re going to declare “Sky Over Milton — Our Community Reflected” as a town theme next year. That’s where we’re looking after Oregon.”
Mary Kathryn Nagle and “Sliver of a Full Moon”

One of the first articles we published on Extended Play was an interview with playwright Mary Kathryn Nagle, whose play “Sliver of a Full Moon” arose from interviews with Native women who have survived abuse. The piece was performed at the United Nations in 2014 and continues to spread its message to communities across the country. Here, in Nagle’s words, is an update on where “Full Moon” is going, and what’s next for her:
“A lot has happened with “Sliver of a Full Moon” since we last talked! Since we spoke, the play has visited several law schools, including Yale Law School and Harvard. And this April 22, we will present the play at N.Y.U. Law School. Taking the play to Law Schools has brought about a whole new discussion, which I find to be quite thrilling! Most law students do not study the 19th Century Supreme Court cases that created the Court’s 21st Century federal Indian law jurisprudence today. So it has been interesting to see the moment when they discover that the Supreme Court’s stripping of tribal jurisdiction over non-Indians is based on a 19th Century framework that is inherently prejudicial and problematic.
“We have also been invited to present the play in Santa Fe in March and Stanford Law School in May. This past January we took the play to the Three Affiliated Tribes in New Town, North Dakota. Numerous individuals in the audience stood up and thanked the women and men in our cast for sharing their stories of survival and for stopping the silence that surrounds domestic violence in our communities. The presentation was very emotional and clearly very impactful.
“My next project is actually a commission for Arena Stage. I am researching and writing a play that compares the modern day fight to restore and preserve tribal jurisdiction over non-Indians who commit crimes of violence against Indian women on tribal lands with the fight my grandfathers undertook on behalf of Cherokee Nation in the 1830s, when they took the Cherokee Nation’s case up to the United States Supreme Court and won the right to exercise exclusive jurisdiction over non-Indians on Cherokee lands. I have been researching primary sources such as their letters and their attorneys’ memoranda, as they are all kept at the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It has turned into a very exciting project that also appears to be very timely, given the challenges we now face in the Supreme Court, where non-Indians want to challenge the constitutionality of tribal jurisdiction over tribal lands.”
Tamilla Woodard, Ana Margineau and PopUp Theatrics

In June, we spoke to directors Tamilla Woodard and Ana Margineanu about PopUp Theatrics, the artistic partnership they share with playwright Peca Stefan. The trio creates what they call “immersive, site-specific, site-impacting theatrical events in dynamic collaborations with artists worldwide.” We caught up with Tamilla and Ana recently to see what’s happening with PopUp in the coming months. Here’s what they had to say:
“‘Broken City’ has been a way for us to explore a theatrical lineage and also to continue to test certain boundaries of the performer-spectator relationship right in the center of this live, large, beautifully unpredictable and ultimately untamable venue called the streets of New York City! With ‘Broken City — Wall Street,’ we will wrap up a three-year journey we started in 2014 with a show that takes place near and around Wall Street. We are in the middle of the research phase and are blown away at every turn by the rich stories contained on every magnificent corner of the financial district. And this year we have invited Sign Dance Collective, two dance theater artists from London, as part of this collaboration. The physical language that they bring to performance will help us deepen our practice of creating an immensity of theatricality beside real life. Come check us out in August!”
Dan Hoyle, Tamilla Woodard and “Five Boroughs/One City”

Tamilla Woodard is also artistic director for the Working Theater’s “Five Boroughs/One City” initiative, which pairs five writer-director teams to “create a piece of theater rooted in a neighborhood in each of the five boroughs of New York City by engaging a specific community as both source and resource in the creative process.” The Bronx piece is being created by Dan Hoyle, who we interviewed this past December, and is working with Tamilla to bring his play “The Block” to life.
From Tamilla:
“I am crazy excited about getting Dan Hoyle’s new play, “The Block,” into rehearsals this spring. It will be the first production of the Five Boroughs/One City initiative. Its been a pleasure to be the Artistic Director and to be charged with supporting the creation of new works and the creation of new artistic partnerships. I’m still amazed by the Working Theater’s commitment to the scope of the initiative, to the artists and to the communities. Dan and I have been working like mad these past many months, with incredible actors in the room helping us hear and shape the play. We think it’s beautiful and funny and sad. Its feels like an aural and visual snapshot. The play is really trying to capture the energy of one particular block, and the people who have called it home their entire lives. Dan put in a lot of leg work in the community, made a lot of friends and has taken really good care of those stories as he’s shaped this play inspired by the incredible characters he’s met these last 18 months. So, you know, come see it!”
And Dan is equally enthusiastic:
“Tamilla Woodard, who’s directing the piece, is a master theater ninja, and she has been throwing blow gun darts at lines and giving me nunchuks to chop at narrative. We now have a story that centers around a main protagonist, Dontrell, and how he negotiates a return to “The Block.” All the characters are trying to move up one small station in life, and we see how they do and don’t from an intimate perspective. We did a segment at the readings of the ten minute plays of my Theaterworks! students at Pregones Theater in the South Bronx in January, and the audience was roaring with laughter. The show is 50 percent funnier and 50 percent deeper and still very true to the South Bronx. We are excited!”
We’ve had a great time this past year delving into investigative, immersive and interactive theater. As we head into 2016, we’re planning more features, podcast interviews with your favorite artists, and online extensions of the Civilians productions on stage. Thank you for taking the journey with us so far, and if you’re new to Extended Play, welcome! Scroll back through what we’ve done, and look forward to what’s to come.

Vanessa Carlton r announced she was bisexual at a concert. Singer Vanessa Carlton made headlines over the weekend by declaring to the crowd at the Nashville Pride concert that she is a proud bisexual woman. Is a bisexual confession simply a safe way for women to inch out of the closet? Is it a boon for the gay community? Or is it all a publicity stunt? For a woman to say she is bisexual today brings about as much stigma as saying she had braces as a child.
Coming out as bisexual rather than gay may also be more palatable to an American male audience that finds something alluring about female bisexuality.

Valve is Considering Paid Mods Again
When Valve introduced paid mods in 2015, people were not impressed. There were complaints about stolen work and how people would profit from other people’s resources. There were debates about how the modding community would become too corporatized if mods went from a hobby to a career. And with worries online about price gauging and horse armour, the general reception was highly negative.
So much so in fact that the whole concept was dropped in four days. It was that unpopular.
But now it seems like Valve may be giving it another go! Why? Because in a recent roundtable at Valve’s HQ, Gabe Newell expressed the intention of trying paid mods again in the future. He did this by saying that modders are ‘definitely’ creating value and should be compensated for it, as well as mentioning that money needs to flow to the people creating said value. Here’s his comments in full:
[modders] create a lot of value, and we think that … absolutely they need to be compensated, they’re creating value and the degree to which they’re not being accurately compensated is a bug in the system, right? It’s just inserting noise into it/
You want to have efficient ways so that the people who are actually creating value are the people that money is flowing to.
As you can see, it’s a pretty clear comment about paid mods being a possibility in future. It’s not 100% blatant, but you can definitely see where they’re going here.
Either way, the reaction online… has not been positive. Oh no. You’ve got people on Voat literally tearing the statement apart.
The population of the Elder Scrolls modding subreddit think of it as a terrible idea.
And well, many other sites and comment sections are not best pleased here either.
So why is this? Why are people so negative about the idea of paid mods?
Well for the most part, it’s the same reasoning as last time. It takes modding away from a community pastime to a pay to play business.
In other words, it makes it so the average modder is less likely to give out their work for free (aka to help the community) and more likely to become part of a corporation or collective charging money for every little thing.
It also opens a big cans of words in regards to mod compatibility. Why? Because mods are not really designed to work with other mods. They can (and sometimes they do), but they’re not really intended for that. Each mod is designed with the assumption the original vanilla game is being used and that it’s own changes will work standalone.
That’s fine for a free product used at your own risk. If things don’t work out, just revert to the normal version of the game without losing anything. Nothing lost and nothing gained.
But for paid mods? That’s not the case. Instead, there’s the assumption (by the user) that by paying for a product, they expect support for said product. That the two $20 mods they bought are both going to work alongside each other.
And as any person with any experience in the mod world knows, that’s impossible. I mean, imagine two massive mods that overhaul the whole game and story. You physically can’t get them working together. They edit the exact same stuff. Same with multiple mods for characters, multiple mods for certain physics, etc. Basically, it becomes a support nightmare.
Add the inevitable copyright/trademark violation mods (like those that turn the Elder Scrolls series into a Lord of the Rings adaptation, Batman Doom, etc) and paid mods become a very complicated situation that needs careful planning in order to not spiral out of control.
That said, I don’t mind if Valve does implement them. The core concept has its positives (like rewarding people for their work and incentivising more people to develop mods for games). And as a concept, paid mods are inevitable to some degree. It will happen one day, whether we like it or not.
I just hope Valve had done their homework and planned it out properly this time around. And that everyone’s fears of community change, legal issues and support nightmares turn out to be irrelevant in the long run.
But hey, what do you think? Do you like the idea of paid mods making a comeback? Or do you think this idea has too many issues to work out well?
P.S. The mods featured are all from Nexus Mods

Guest post by Andreas Prokop.
This blog post was originally published as an article in Open Access Government (Prokop, 2018b) to advocate for the importance of Drosophila research. It follows up on a previous piece in the same journal advocating for developmental biology (Prokop, 2018a). These articles aim to showcase how policy and decision makers can be alerted to the importance of fundamental biomedical research—a field that is easily underrated by non-specialists because rationales for its significance aren’t usually self-explanatory. Hopefully, this article provides some ideas to inspire members of our community with ways to convince non-specialist audiences of the importance of the research we all value for good reasons.
For 30 years I have been studying the nervous system of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, the tiny insect that hovers over our fruit bowls in summer (Prokop, 2016). You may wonder why anybody would invest professional time or public money in something that seems more of a private hobby than serious research. But I am not alone: fruit flies have been intensively studied for over 100 years, and worldwide over 10,000 scientists are currently estimated to engage in fly research; and their work has great impact: nine (arguably ten) researchers have received a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work in Drosophila—the last one as recently as 2017 (Fig. 1). As I will argue here, the biomedical sciences would be very far behind their current status quo without research in fly or other simple organisms, such as the nematode worm C. elegans or baker’s yeast.
Fig. 1. Researchers awarded the Nobel Prize for work on Drosophila in 1933, 1946, 1995, 2004 (only marginally for fly work), 2011, and 2017 (for more information see Prokop, 2015).
Why the fly? A historical perspective
Kick-starting genetics: Mere serendipity set in motion the long-lasting interest in fruit flies; in 1910, studies on evolution by Thomas Hunt Morgan led to the almost accidental finding that genes lie on chromosomes. This started the era of genetics—with Drosophila research leading the field unraveling how genes are organized, become mutated, or interact with each other (Allchin, 1997; Brookes, 2001; Kohler, 1994).
Genetics as a tool: In the middle of the 20th century, researchers started to use Drosophila genetics to address the essential question of how genes work and determine biology. In the same way as mutations in humans cause inherited diseases that tell us something about the biological relevance of those genes, mutations can be used in Drosophila research as a tool to dissect and understand biological processes. The fly was ideal because genetic manipulation techniques were well established, its generation cycle of only 10 days allowed fast progress, and the ease of keeping big numbers of flies facilitated systematic ‘mutational screens’ to search for new genes that contribute to biological processes (Fig. 2). Drosophila became “a boundary object par excellence, residing in the interstices of two major disciplines, genetics and embryology” (Keller, 1996). Together with the advent of molecular biology (to decipher and manipulate genes) and advances in biochemistry (to study the protein products of genes), fly research turned into a gold mine for discovery. For example, genes that mediate embryonic development, nervous system function, or even the ability to learn were discovered and studied, thus pioneering fundamental understanding of those processes (Mohr, 2018).
A translational path to humans: Through parallel work in vertebrate animals, in particular the mouse, it became increasingly clear that fundamental concepts discovered in the fly seemed to apply to all animals: genes studied in mammals turned out to be very similar in structure and function to their fly equivalents; in some cases, it was even shown that genes from fly and mouse were interchangeable. The scale of this ‘evolutionary conservation’ became clear when the human and fly genomes were sequenced and compared. Ethan Bier and colleagues reported at the time that 77% of 714 distinct human disease genes matched unique Drosophila sequences (Reiter et al., 2001). The fundamental truth behind this statement was unequivocally documented by a systematic study in yeast using 414 strains with lethal mutations, of which almost half could be ‘cured’ by introducing the equivalent human gene (Kachroo et al., 2015; Leslie, 2015). Therefore, the fundamental processes of biology and the genes involved are ancient; organisms that shared their last common ancestor a billion years ago have maintained many of these fundamental functions to astonishing degrees. This concept of ‘deep homology’ explains the above mentioned Nobel laureates: through their work, they have laid foundations for a fundamental understanding of biological processes which can explain to us what goes wrong in human disease and pave the translational path into the quest for cures.
Fig. 2. Flies as an efficient starting point of a translational pipeline.
The importance of Drosophila research is undiminished
The last decades have brought new strategies for research in mice and other vertebrate animals that have now turned also these organisms into true boundary objects. The fairly recent advent of CRISPR technology is seen as the magic silver bullet that has finally closed the experimental gap to research in smaller invertebrate models. However, I would argue that this is a dangerous misconception likely leading to increased research costs, unnecessary use of animals, and a slowdown in scientific advance.
It has been said: “You get 10 times more biology for a dollar invested in flies than you get in mice” (Levitan, 2015). To illustrate this point, keeping 400 fly stocks requires one stand-alone incubator and £100 a month to pay for food vials and 4-6hrs of work (Fig. 3); maintaining the same number of mouse strains readily accessible would take at least £12,000 a month and a vast housing facility. Furthermore, CRISPR technology certainly has accelerated mouse research enormously, but it is also well established in Drosophila and has enhanced the possibilities of fly research to the same degree. Many more arguments can be listed (Prokop, 2015), but I would like to focus here on one last, enormously important aspect: the fact that biology is complex.
Fig 3. Maintaining and handling flies in the laboratory. A) A ~10 cm high vial containing flies. B) 400 different fly stocks kept in one incubator. Genetic crosses are performed under a stereomicroscope (C) on CO2-dispensing porous pads (D) to carefully inspect the immobilized flies (E).
Thus, to understand inherited diseases, it is often not sufficient to gain important knowledge of the affected genes and their products; it requires an understanding of the usually complex functional networks in which they operate (Prokop, 2016). An important strategy to unravel complex genetic networks is the simultaneous manipulation of two or more genes in the same individual—a task that is routinely performed in a fly laboratory, but enormously laborious and time-consuming in mice. Furthermore, experiments, even if based on well-informed rationale, often fail. In fly, such failure is unfortunate but can be easily absorbed, since time and money invested are usually low, with alternative experiments being set up in a matter of days or weeks rather than months or beyond. Hence, work in fly gives access to flexible experimentation, where trial-and-error is a feasible strategy to overcome the challenging enigmas posed by biological complexity.
Understanding fundamental biology is the lifeblood for translational research into human disease. As I have argued here, Drosophila research is a powerful generator of such understanding. Certainly, fly is NOT a mini-human. For example, it cannot be used to study arthritis or fibrosis, but it can be used to understand fundamental concepts of extracellular matrix regulation underlying those problems. In the context of Alzheimer’s disease, flies are unsuited to the study of personality loss, but can be used to address the still unresolved, important question of how this condition triggers nerve cells to degenerate. In any case, the use of any experimental models should always be carefully justified. Consequently, funding panels should, in my opinion, more often question the uses of higher animals where fundamental concepts could be pioneered more efficiently in simpler models – thus spending research money responsibly and speeding up the discovery process.

Cute girls doing interesting things
The ILAB is on the case!
Happy Reiwa 1!
Japan's first imperial succession from a living emperor in more than two centuries made for a uniquely celebratory atmosphere. In Japan, midnight on April 30 was like New Year's Eve at Times Square. A countdown, fireworks, and great good cheer.
The new era has arrived!
I was working in Japan in January 1989. The mood was gray and somber. Emperor Hirohito had been on his death bed for months. The press macabrely reported every blood transfusion he received. A lot of blood transfusions. Happy times it was not.
The reign of Emperor Akihito commenced on 8 January 1989 and ended on 30 April 2019 in the year Heisei 31. On 1 May 2019, Crown Prince Naruhito inherited the Imperial Regalia and the Office of Emperor, marking the start of the Reiwa era.
Naruhito is Japan's fifth emperor since the 1868 Meiji Restoration moved the capital from Kyoto to Tokyo and restored de jure imperial rule. He is the 126th emperor of Japan, the oldest continuous and hereditary monarchy in the world.
Granted, beginning with Emperor Jimmu (reigned 660–585 BC), a "direct descendant" of the Sun Goddess Amaterasu, the first nine emperors are "presumed legendary." Emperor Kinmei (reigned 539–571 AD) was the first with "historical verifiability."
Mutsuhito (1867) Meiji era
Yoshihito (1912) Taisho era
Hirohito (1926) Showa era
Akihito (1989) Heisei era
Naruhito (2019) Reiwa era
In Japanese, an emperor's given name is not used in public. As a result, imperial references differ depending on whether you are, for example, watching NHK in Japanese or English. In English, Emperor Naruhito is referred to as "Emperor Naruhito."
In Japanese, while alive, the emperor is "Tennou Heika (天皇陛下) or "His Imperial Majesty the Emperor." Emperor Akihito is now Joukou (上皇) or "Emperor Emeritus." Posthumously, an emperor is referred to by his era name.
As with the several months that elapse between the election an American president and the inauguration, the formal enthronement ceremony is scheduled for October. If you're the head of state of a country with formal diplomatic relations with Japan, you're invited.
Since the Meiji era, (male) Japanese politicians have worn the English morning coat on formal occasions.
In a historical first, Satsuki Katayama, a member of Prime Minister Abe's cabinet, became the first woman to attend an enthronement ceremony. She wore a kimono.

West Grinstead, West Sussex, England
Knepp Castle
Knepp Castle was built in the 12th century by William de Braose as a motte and bailey fortress. King John rebuilt it as a stone castle with a two-storey keep in 1214. It had a succession of royal visitors, including Henry III, Edward II and Richard II. It fell into decline and and by the 1720's it had been largely destroyed. In the early 19th century the remnants were reinforced and fenced in by Sir Charles Burrell to protect them from further deterioration.
The area around the ruins is supposedly haunted by the apparition of a white doe. According to local lore, it is the spirit of a bewitched girl from the 13th century.

Limitless Review
After seeing trailers of the recent film 'Limitless', it didn't seem to catch my eye, but after seeing it in the cinema today, I was shocked at how good it was! Bradley Cooper stars as an unpublished writer trying to make a breakthrough in the public eye and failing miserably; and to make matters worse, he gets dumped by his girlfriend. But this all changes when he bumps into his ex-brother-in-law, once known as a drug dealer, but now claiming to be working in the medical side. He claims this tablet will not only let him access the 20% of the brain our bodies usually access, but all of it. After a lot of debating he finally takes the pill and the effects set in fast. His brain clicks into gear and he is somehow able to access all the information he has ever read in a book, even from the smallest glance, and is he is able to write his book in one night, even learn a language in the space of one night! As the drug sets in, the camera makes everything brighter and contrasted, showing the effect of the drug on Cooper. Apart from the storyline, this was my other favourite aspect of the film; the camera techniques used to show that he had taken this amazing drug. A fish-eye effect is used when he first takes the drug and walks outside, showing close-ups of peoples faces and reactions, the drug also speeds him up to the point he can't remember what happened; the camera pans in and keeps zooming as if he were walking through the city but in fast motion. Paths of light from the busy traffic speed past him, he sits down at his desk and letters fall from the roof; the words he could never find before he took the drug.
As the film goes on, you see the addiction set in and the effects the drug has on him. It is definitely worth the watch and is now up there in my favourite films along with 'Fight Club' and 'Requiem For A Dream', which it is very similar to. You can see the trailer for 'Limitless' below:

Eminent Question: Harris County Court at Law or District Court - Whose domain?
In one of several cases from Houston decided Friday, the Texas Supreme Court clears up some of the confusion created by the partially overlapping jurisdictions and partially exclusive jurisdiction of the Civil District Courts and the County Civil Courts at Law (CCCL#1 2 3 and 4) in Harris County.
AIC Management v. Crews, No. 05-0270 (Tex. Jan 25, 2008)(O’Neill) (condemnation, sufficiency of legal description, UDJA, jurisdiction of Harris County Civil Courts at Law)
Note: Only the portion of the opinion addressing the jurisdiction issue is copied below:
Which has got the jurisdiction?
HOLDING: We hold that, pursuant to section 25.1032(c)(1) of the Texas Government Code, the county court had jurisdiction to decide issues of title arising out of the condemnation suit irrespective of the amount in controversy.
II. Jurisdiction
AIC contests the jurisdiction of the trial court, a county civil court at law in Harris County, to resolve what it characterizes as a title dispute. We consider this point first.
AIC’s argument concerns the interplay between the amount-in-controversy limitations of the general jurisdictional grant to statutory county courts,[3] Tex. Gov’t Code § 25.0003, the exclusive jurisdictional grant to district courts for disputes involving title issues, Tex. Prop. Code § 21.002, and a more specific jurisdictional grant to statutory county courts in Harris County, Tex. Gov’t Code § 25.1032. Generally, the subject-matter jurisdiction of statutory county courts is limited to “cases in which the matter in controversy exceeds $500 but does not exceed $100,000.” Id. § 25.0003(c)(1). Without reference to amounts in controversy, the Texas Property Code requires a county court at law before which an eminent-domain proceeding is pending to transfer the case to the district court upon determining that the controversy involves “an issue of title.” Tex. Prop. Code § 21.002. Finally, section 25.1032 of the Government Code contains, in pertinent part, the following specific jurisdictional grant to Harris County civil courts at law:
(a) A county civil court at law in Harris County has jurisdiction over all civil matters and causes, original and appellate, prescribed by law for county courts . . .
(c) A county civil court at law has exclusive jurisdiction in Harris County of eminent domain proceedings, both statutory and inverse, regardless of the amount in controversy. In addition to other jurisdiction provided by law, a county civil court at law has jurisdiction to:
(1) decide the issue of title to real or personal property
Tex. Gov’t Code § 25.1032.
Under section 25.1032’s plain language, the county civil courts at law in Harris County have exclusive jurisdiction over eminent-domain proceedings and may decide issues of title to real property. AIC contends, however, that this specific jurisdictional grant does not extend to title disputes which exceed the maximum $100,000 jurisdictional limit for statutory county courts. Because the property at issue in this case exceeds $100,000 in value, AIC contends, section 21.002 of the Property Code divested the county court of jurisdiction and required transfer of the case to the district court. We disagree.
The $100,000 cap on county court jurisdiction appears in chapter 25 of the Government Code under subchapter A, entitled “General Provisions.” Id. § 25.0003(c). The first section of that subchapter states that, “[i]f a provision of this subchapter conflicts with a specific provision for a particular court or county, the specific provision controls.” Id. § 25.0001(a). Section 25.1032, which appears in subchapter C, defines the specific jurisdiction of county civil courts at law in Harris County. Id. § 25.1032. That section vests exclusive jurisdiction over eminent-domain proceedings in Harris County in the county civil courts at law. Id. § 25.1032(c). Subsection (1) also grants those courts jurisdiction to decide the issue of title to real property, which section 25.1032(c) provides is “in addition to other jurisdiction provided by law.” Id. Section 25.1032(c)(1) thus bases the county civil courts’ jurisdiction on the type of claim, not the amount of money in dispute. See Haas v. Ashford Hollow Cmty. Improvement Ass’n, 209 S.W.3d 875, 880 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2006, no pet.); see also Taub v. Aquila Sw. Pipeline Corp., 93 S.W.3d 451, 458 (Tex. App.— Houston [14th Dist.] 2002, no pet.); In re Burlington N. & Santa Fe Ry. Co., 12 S.W.3d 891, 899 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2000, no pet.). We conclude that, in Harris County, the county civil courts’ jurisdiction to decide issues of title arising out of condemnation proceedings is in addition to their general concurrent jurisdiction described in section 25.0003(c) and is not dependent upon the amount in controversy.
AIC cites our decision in City of Houston v. West, 520 S.W.2d 752 (Tex. 1975), to support its contention that the county court lacked jurisdiction to decide issues of title in this case. In West, which involved an eminent-domain proceeding, we held that an issue of title was involved that required transfer to the district court for resolution. Id. at 754. Our decision, though, preceded the Legislature’s specific jurisdictional grant to county civil courts at law in Harris County over eminent-domain and title issues, Tex. Gov’t Code § 25.1032(c). Accordingly, our decision in West has no application here.
In interpreting statutes, we examine the language the Legislature chose and may also consider the object sought to be obtained. See id. § 311.023(1). The legislative history indicates that section 25.1032, which vested exclusive jurisdiction over eminent-domain proceedings in Harris County in the county civil courts, was originally enacted to alleviate a caseload imbalance between underutilized county courts and overburdened district courts in Harris County. House Comm. on Judicial Affairs, Bill Analysis, Tex. H.B. 1110, 69th Leg., R.S. (1985). The statute was subsequently amended to “raise the amount in controversy limit . . . and expand [county courts’] jurisdiction with respect to other causes of action,” again due to the heavy pending caseload in the Harris County district courts and the availability of speedier resolution in the county courts. See Act of May 15, 1989, 71st Leg., R.S., ch. 445, § 1, 1989 Tex. Gen. Laws 1605, 1606; Tex. Gov’t Code Ann. § 25.1032, Historical and Statutory Notes; Tex. Sen. Jurisprudence Comm., Bill Analysis, Tex. H.B. 1795, 71st Leg., R.S. (1989). The statutory language vesting jurisdiction in the county courts based on the type of claim rather than the amount in controversy is consistent with this purpose. We conclude that the county court at law had subject-matter jurisdiction to resolve any title dispute between AIC and the Crewses arising out of the City’s eminent-domain proceeding, and now turn to the deeds themselves.

Reign those CC@Law in!
A thoughtless comment by 14thAppJudge Seymore is being misinterpreted to lift the $100k AIC jurisdictional limits of CC@Law "Regardless, the trial court had jurisdiction to enforce the lien on Haas's property, irrespective of the AIC." 209 SW3d 875
Sure the CC@Law have concurrent jd w/ the Cnty Dist. Cts, but "irrespective of the amount in controversy"? Really... I was thinking that the SPECIFIC language of TxGovt.C.25.0003 limiting the CC@Law AIC JD to $100k was pretty clear.
What else is clear is that the AIC limit is statutorily lifted on in the case of emminent domain/condemnation proceedings, a la TxGovt.C. 25.1032(c)
I'm laughing because the Harris County Court at Law homepage even say:
1. "Judge Jacqueline Lucci Smith was elected as presiding judge of Harris County Civil Court at Law No. 2 in November, 2006 and took the bench on January 1, 2007. She presides over one of four County Civil Courts at Law with the constitutional jurisdiction of the county court and concurrent jurisdiction with the district courts in civil cases in which the matter in controversy exceeds $500 but does not exceed $100,000."
"Jurisdiction has been further specialized to civil jurisdiction concurrent with the constitutional jurisdiction of the county court and concurrent jurisdiction with the district courts in civil cases in which the matter in controversy exceeds $500 but does not exceed $100,000"
Sure... when you've got exclusive JD of this or that... throw the AIC limitations out the window... but let's not allow a side remark in an opinion over a suit dealing w/ the enforcement of a couple of $400 liens for not paying neighborhood assoc dues cause the legislative limitations on the CC@Law to be overlooked.
Does anyone else think this is a problem, CC@Law JD now being solely premised on subject matter... no AIC at all?
Don't nod-off and let this one get thrown right past you!
I agree, but what about the higher end? Should the $100,000 cap be mandatory, so that all cases over $100k would be transferred to District Court?

Owner of Komodo's Pub in Midtown files lawsuit against roofing contractor over water damage and lost profits caused by temporary closure
MIDTOWN BAR SUES ROOFING CONTRACTOR OVER RAIN DAMAGE
In a petition filed October 6, 2015 in Harris County District Court, Komodo's owner alleges that the bar hired Strata Roofing & Construction LLC to repair its roof for $15,580.00 and that the contractor's workers "allowed rain to flood the premises", forcing it to shut its doors for 12 business days.
As a result, the petition states, the popular neighborhood bar suffered damages in the form of $15,000 in lost profits, $6,000 in wages paid to employees while it was closed, and incurred additional expenses of $500 for paint.
The pleading further alleges that the contractor refused to pay for the alleged damages after having been sent a demand letter, and that the roofing company instead filed a mechanic's lien on the property located at 2004 Baldwin St. Houston TX 77002 for $9,640.00 on August 31, 2015.
Komodo says that the underlying contract for roofing repairs was signed on June 21, 2015 and that under the term of the contract Strata Roofing accepted responsibility for any damage that was directly caused by water intrusion during rainfall. It claims that the damages would not have occurred but for the contractor's negligent conduct in performing the job.
Komodo seeks relief for breach of contract, negligence, and also makes a claim under the Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA). It seeks a total of $21,500 in actual damages, attorney's fees, interest, and court costs. Additionally, Komodo seeks a judicial declaration that the lien filed by the contractor is invalid. It requests that it be awarded its attorney's fees on the breach of contract claim, and also references the Property Code and the Declaratory Judgments Act as a basis for recovering attorneys fees that were necessary to remove the mechanic's lien filed by the contractor, which it claims is invalid.
Komodo's is an assumed name of Lizzard's Midtown, Inc, which was formally named as the plaintiff in this civil action. The company's law firm is MONSHAUGEN & VAN HUFF, P.C. and one its owners, Albert T. Van Huff, signed the original petition. Two other lawyers are also shown on the address block: Stephanie B. Donaho and Amy L. Schlaffer.
Defendant STRATA ROOFING & CONSTRUCTION, LLC has not yet been served with citation and has not answered the lawsuit. Therefore, it is not known who will represent them, and how they will defend the lawsuit. Based on their filing of a mechanic's lien in the property records of the Harris County Clerk's Office, which indicates that they have not been paid the full contracted-for price for the job, they will likely assert a counterclaim against the owner of the bar.
CASE INFO: Cause No. 2015-59375, Lizzard's Midtown, Inc. v. Strata Roofing & Construction, LLC, filed 10/6/2015 with the Harris County District Clerk, and randomly assigned to the 234th District Court, Harris County, Texas.

July 10, 2001: FBI Agent Sends Memo Warning that Unusual Number of Muslim Extremists Are Learning to Fly in Arizona
FBI agent Ken Williams. [Source: FBI]Phoenix, Arizona, FBI agent Ken Williams sends a memorandum warning about suspicious activities involving a group of Middle Eastern men taking flight training lessons in Arizona. The memo is titled: “Zakaria Mustapha Soubra; IT-OTHER (Islamic Army of the Caucasus),” because it focuses on Zakaria Soubra, a Lebanese flight student in Prescott, Arizona, and his connection with a terror group in Chechnya that has ties to al-Qaeda. It is subtitled: “Osama bin Laden and Al-Muhjiroun supporters attending civil aviation universities/colleges in Arizona.” [Fortune, 5/22/2002; Arizona Republic, 7/24/2003] Williams’ memo is based on an investigation of Sorba that Williams had begun in 2000 (see April 2000), but he had trouble pursuing because of the low priority the Arizona FBI office gave terror investigations (see April 2000-June 2001). Additionally, Williams had been alerted to suspicions about radical militants and aircraft at least three other times (see October 1996; 1998; November 1999-August 2001). In the memo, Williams does the following:
Names nine other suspect students from Pakistan, India, Kenya, Algeria, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. [Die Zeit (Hamburg), 10/1/2002] Hijacker Hani Hanjour, attending flight school in Arizona in early 2001 and probably continuing into the summer of 2001 (see Summer 2001), is not one of the students, but, as explained below, it seems two of the students know him. [US Congress, 7/24/2003, pp. 135 ; Washington Post, 7/25/2003]
Notes that he interviewed some of these students, and heard some of them make hostile comments about the US. Additionally, he noticed that they were suspiciously well informed about security measures at US airports. [Die Zeit (Hamburg), 10/1/2002]
Notes an increasing, “inordinate number of individuals of investigative interest” taking flight lessons in Arizona. [Die Zeit (Hamburg), 10/1/2002; US Congress, 7/24/2003, pp. 135 ]
Suspects that some of the ten people he has investigated are connected to al-Qaeda. [US Congress, 7/24/2003, pp. 135 ] One person on the list, Ghassan al Sharbi, will be arrested in Pakistan in March 2002 with al-Qaeda leader Abu Zubaida (see March 28, 2002). Al Sharbi attended a flight school in Prescott, Arizona. He also apparently attended the training camps in Afghanistan and swore loyalty to bin Laden in the summer of 2001. He apparently knows Hani Hanjour in Arizona (see October 1996-Late April 1999). He also is the roommate of Soubra, the main target of the memo. [Los Angeles Times, 1/24/2003; 9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 521]
Discovers that one of them was communicating through an intermediary with Abu Zubaida. This apparently is a reference to Hamed al Sulami, who had been telephoning a Saudi imam known to be Zubaida’s spiritual advisor. Al Sulami is an acquaintance of Hanjour in Arizona (see October 1996-Late April 1999). [Mercury News (San Jose), 5/23/2002; 9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 520-521, 529]
Discusses connections between several of the students and a radical group called Al-Muhajiroun. [Mercury News (San Jose), 5/23/2002] This group supported bin Laden, and issued a fatwa, or call to arms, that included airports on a list of acceptable terror targets. [Associated Press, 5/22/2002] Soubra, the main focus of the memo, is a member of Al-Muhajiroun and an outspoken radical. He met with Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed, the leader of Al-Muhajiroun in Britain, and started an Arizona chapter of the organization. After 9/11, some US officials will suspect that Soubra has ties to al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups. He will be held two years, then deported to Lebanon in 2004. [Los Angeles Times, 10/28/2001; Los Angeles Times, 1/24/2003; Arizona Republic, 5/2/2004; Arizona Monthly, 11/2004] Though Williams doesn’t include it in his memo, in the summer of 1998, Bakri publicized a fax sent by bin Laden to him that listed al-Qaeda’s four objectives in fighting the US. The first objective was “bring down their airliners.” (see Summer 1998). [Los Angeles Times, 10/28/2001]
Warns of a possible “effort by Osama bin Laden to send students to the US to attend civil aviation universities and colleges” [Fortune, 5/22/2002] , so they can later hijack aircraft. [Die Zeit (Hamburg), 10/1/2002]
Recommends that the “FBI should accumulate a listing of civil aviation universities and colleges around the country. FBI field offices with these types of schools in their area should establish appropriate liaison. FBI [headquarters] should discuss this matter with other elements of the US intelligence community and task the community for any information that supports Phoenix’s suspicions.” [Arizona Republic, 7/24/2003] (The FBI has already done this, but because of poor FBI communications, Williams is not aware of the report.)
Recommends that the FBI ask the State Department to provide visa data on flight school students from Middle Eastern countries, which will facilitate FBI tracking efforts. [New York Times, 5/4/2002]
The memo is addressed to the following FBI Agents:
Dave Frasca, chief of the Radical Fundamentalist Unit (RFU) at FBI headquarters;
Elizabeth Harvey Matson, Mark Connor and Fred Stremmel, Intelligence Operations Specialists in the RFU;
Rod Middleton, acting chief of the Usama bin Laden Unit (UBLU);
Jennifer Maitner, an Intelligence Operations Specialist in the UBLU;
Jack Cloonan, an agent on the New York FBI’s bin Laden unit, the I-49 squad; (see January 1996 and Spring 2000).
Michael S. Butsch, an agent on another New York FBI squad dealing with other Sunni terrorists. [Federal Bureau of Investigation, 7/10/2001 ; US Congress, 7/24/2003, pp. 135 ]
However, the memo is not uploaded into the FBI’s information system until the end of the month and is apparently not received by all these people (see July 27, 2001 and after). Williams also shares some concerns with the CIA (see (July 27, 2001)). [Mercury News (San Jose), 5/23/2002] One anonymous government official who has seen the memo says, “This was as actionable a memo as could have been written by anyone.” [Insight, 5/27/2002] However, the memo is merely marked “routine,” rather than “urgent.” It is generally ignored, not shared with other FBI offices, and the recommendations are not taken. One colleague in New York replies at the time that the memo is “speculative and not very significant.” [Die Zeit (Hamburg), 10/1/2002; US Congress, 7/24/2003, pp. 135 ] Williams is unaware of many FBI investigations and leads that could have given weight to his memo. Authorities later claim that Williams was only pursuing a hunch, but one familiar with classified information says, “This was not a vague hunch. He was doing a case on these guys.” [Mercury News (San Jose), 5/23/2002]

July 10-11, 2001: Conference Held in Washington on Preparing the US for Domestic Terrorism
Anthony Williams. [Source: Manuel Balce Ceneta / Associated Press]The National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the National Emergency Management Association co-sponsor a two-day event held in Washington called Preparing the Nation: A National Policy Summit on Domestic Terrorism. Federal officials, state teams of governors’ key policy advisors, and state leaders in law enforcement, public health, fire, and emergency management attend. Speakers include Attorney General John Ashcroft, Representative Christopher Shays (R-CT), and Governor Robert Wise (D-WV). [National Governors Association, 6/25/2001; Red Cross, 7/11/2001; National Governors Association, 7/13/2001] The agenda of the event is structured around a tabletop exercise, based on a hypothetical bioterrorist attack. The scenario involves a neo-nazi terrorist releasing six liters of plague slurry in a fictional city resembling New York, called Gotham. [National Governors Association, 6/25/2001; National Governors Association, 7/10/2001 ; National Governors Association, 7/10/2001, pp. 7 ] In his speech at the event, Anthony Williams, the mayor of the District of Columbia, says it is especially appropriate that the summit is being held in DC, because “our city has been called ground zero for a potential terrorism incident. ‘It’s only a matter of time,’ they say, ‘before Washington, DC is the site of a terrorist attack.’” [National Governors Association, 7/10/2001 ] Assistant FBI Director Dale Watson tells the summit that a significant terrorist attack is likely on US soil (see July 11, 2001). [Reuters, 7/12/2001] In his speech, Ashcroft says, “Our number one priority is the prevention of terrorist attacks” (see July 11, 2001). [National Governors Association, 7/11/2001 ] Charles DeVita, the vice president for global safety and security for the Red Cross, says, “Conferences like these are starting to take place because even the federal government is realizing that [acts of terrorism are a major] threat. It’s not a matter of if, but when this is going to happen.” [Red Cross, 7/11/2001]

July 10, 2001: Urgent CIA Request for Funds to Immediately Deal with Bin Laden Is Denied
On this date, CIA Director George Tenet and CIA counterterrorism chief Cofer Black give the White House an urgent al-Qaeda briefing that, if heeded, Black later believes could have stopped bin Laden. Tenet and Black strongly suggest that both an overall strategy and immediate covert or military action against bin Laden are needed (see July 10, 2001). According to a 2006 book by journalist Bob Woodward that is likely paraphrasing Black, one of Woodward’s sources for his book, “Black calculated that if [the White House] had given him $500 million of covert action funds right then and reasonable authorizations from the president to go kill bin Laden, he would have been able to make great strides if not do away with him.… Over the last two years—and as recently as March 2001—the CIA had deployed paramilitary teams five times into Afghanistan to work with the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance, a loose federation of militias and tribes in the north. The CIA had about 100 sources and subsources operating throughout Afghanistan. Just give him the money and the authority and he might be able to bring bin Laden’s head back in a box.” [Woodward, 2006, pp. 77-78; New York Daily News, 9/29/2006]

Shortly Before July 11, 2001: Canadian Officials Release Al-Marabh from Prison Despite His Links to Suspected Militants
Children at the Um Al-Qura Islamic School, where both Jaballah and Shehab served as principals. [Source: Um Al-Qura Islamic School]On June 27, 2001, Nabil al-Marabh was arrested while trying to enter the US from Canada. He is already wanted in the US for skipping bail on an attempted murder charge, and US intelligence has linked him to al-Qaeda (see June 27, 2001-July 11, 2001). He is held in Canada. About two weeks after his arrest, there is a court hearing to determine if he should be released. His lawyer argues that he should be released because his uncle, Ahmed Shehab, can keep him in line. The lawyer does not mention that Shehab works at a school headed by Mahmoud Jaballah. Canadian intelligence has been closely monitoring Jaballah since 1996 and has overheard him communicating with many top militant leaders, including al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri (see May 11, 1996-August 2001 and February 1998). Presumably Canadian intelligence is well aware of Jaballah’s job at the school discussed in the hearing, yet this is never mentioned to the judge. Jaballah had been arrested in 1999 for suspected ties to Islamic militants and then released, and his school job had been mentioned in media reports. In August 2001, he will be arrested again, and Shebab will replace him as principal at the school. [Globe and Mail, 11/4/1999; New York Times, 10/14/2001; Toronto Star, 7/17/2004] While in jail, al-Marabh is visited by Hassan Almrei, who had been his roommate earlier in the year (see October 19, 2001). [MacLean's, 12/10/2001] Almrei will also later testify that in 1995 he obtained a false passport for al-Marabh, and that after al-Marabh’s arrest in June 2001, al-Marabh asked him to obtain a second false passport for him. [Canadian Security Intelligence Service, 2/22/2008 ] Canadian authorities were investigating Almrei since at least September 2000, and may have suspected his role in a plot against the Toronto airport by this time (see January 2001-Summer 2001). But authorities either do not notice al-Marabh’s links to Jaballah and/or Almrei or do not care, because he is released on bail on July 11 and immediately disappears.

July 10-September 11, 2001: Phoenix Flight Schools Are Not Checked Despite FBI’s Phoenix Memo Recommending Checks
On July 10, 2001, Phoenix FBI agent Ken Williams sends a memorandum to FBI headquarters urging a nationwide check on Middle Eastern students at flight schools (see July 10, 2001), but apparently neither Williams nor anyone else actually conducts any kind of check on Phoenix flight schools at this time. Phoenix flight school managers will later claim that the FBI does not ask them for tips on suspicious students before 9/11. A Sawyer School manager apparently had suspicions about some of his students (though he does not mention alleged Flight 77 pilot Hani Hanjour specifically). He later will say that had he known the FBI was concerned that some students might be Islamic militants, “I would have called someone.” Another flight school manager claims he has a good relationship with the FBI and is surprised he is not asked about Williams’s concerns. He will complain, “Should flight schools be clairvoyant?” [New York Times, 5/24/2002; 9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 529] In fact, although Hanjour left Arizona in March 2001 and lived on the East Coast after that time, there is evidence he comes back for some flight training in the Phoenix area in June and August 2001, including at the Sawyer School (see Summer 2001). The 9/11 Commission will later note that the evidence of Hanjour training in Phoenix during the summer is not definitive, but “the FBI’s Phoenix office believes it is plausible that Hanjour return[s] to Arizona for additional training.” [New York Times, 5/24/2002; 9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 529] It does not appear that Williams or any other FBI official checks flight schools anywhere else in Arizona before 9/11.

July 10, 2001: CIA Director Tenet Briefed about Al-Qaeda; Urgent White House Meeting Results
CIA counterterrorism chief Cofer Black and Richard Blee, a manager responsible for the CIA’s bin Laden unit, meet with CIA Director George Tenet and review the latest intelligence about al-Qaeda. Black lays out a case based on communications intercepts and other intelligence suggesting a growing chance that al-Qaeda will attack the US soon. There is no smoking gun per se, but there is a huge volume of data indicating an attack is coming (see July 9-10, 2001). The case is so compelling—Tenet will later say it “literally made my hair stand on end”—that Tenet decides to brief the White House on it this same day (see July 10, 2001).

July 10, 2001: CIA Director Gives Urgent Warning to White House of Imminent, Multiple, Simultaneous Al-Qaeda Attacks, Possibly within US
Condoleezza Rice and George Tenet in the White House. This picture is actually taken on October 8, 2001, and President Bush is elsewhere in the room. [Source: Eric Draper / White House]CIA Director George Tenet finds the briefing that counterterrorism chief Cofer Black gave him earlier in the day (see July 10, 2001) so alarming that he calls National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice from his car as he heads to the White House and says he needs to see her right away, even though he has regular weekly meetings with her. [Washington Post, 10/1/2006] Tenet and Black let a third CIA official, Richard Blee, who is responsible for Alec Station, the CIA’s bin Laden unit, brief Rice on the latest intelligence. Deputy National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley and counterterrorism “tsar” Richard Clarke are also present. [McClatchy Newspapers, 10/2/2006]
'Significant Attack' - Blee starts by saying, “There will be a significant terrorist attack in the coming weeks or months!” He argues that it is impossible to pick the specific day, saying Osama bin Laden “will attack when he believes the attack will be successful.” He mentions a range of threat information including:
A warning related to Chechen leader Ibn Khattab (see (July 9, 2001)) and seven pieces of intelligence the CIA recently received indicating there would soon be a terrorist attack (see July 9-10, 2001);
A mid-June statement by bin Laden to trainees that there would be an attack in the near future (see Mid-June 2001);
Information that talks about moving toward decisive acts;
Late-June information saying a “big event” was forthcoming;
Two separate bits of information collected “a few days before the meeting” in which people predicted a “stunning turn of events” in the weeks ahead. This may be a reference to intercepts of calls in Yemen, possibly involving the father-in-law of 9/11 hijacker Khalid Almihdhar (see June 30-July 1, 2001).
Multiple, Simultaneous Attacks in US Possible - Blee says that the attacks will be “spectacular,” they will be designed to inflict mass casualties against US facilities and interests, there may be multiple, simultaneous attacks, and they may be in the US itself. He outlines the CIA’s efforts to disrupt al-Qaeda by spreading incorrect word that the attack plans have been compromised, in the hope that this will cause a delay in the attack. But he says this is not enough and that the CIA should go on the attack. Blee also discounts the possibility of disinformation, as bin Laden’s threats are known to the public in the Middle East and there will be a loss of face, funds, and popularity if they are not carried out. Blee urges that the US take a “proactive approach” by using the Northern Alliance. [Tenet, 2007, pp. 151-4] Author Bob Woodward will later write: “Black emphasize[s] that this amount[s] to a strategic warning, meaning the problem [is] so serious that it require[s] an overall plan and strategy. Second, this [is] a major foreign policy problem that need[s] to be addressed immediately. They need […] to take action that moment—covert, military, whatever—to thwart bin Laden. The United States ha[s] human and technical sources, and all the intelligence [is] consistent.” [Woodward, 2006, pp. 80; Washington Post, 10/1/2006] Richard Clarke expresses his agreement with the CIA about the threat’s seriousness, and Black says, “This country needs to go on a war footing now.”
Rice's Response - There are conflicting accounts about the CIA’s reading of Rice’s response. According to Woodward: “Tenet and Black [feel] they [are] not getting through to Rice. She [is] polite, but they [feel] the brush-off.” They leave the meeting frustrated, seeing little prospect for immediate action. Tenet and Black will both later recall the meeting as the starkest warning they gave the White House on al-Qaeda before 9/11 and one that could have potentially stopped the 9/11 attacks if Rice had acted on it (see July 10, 2001) and conveyed their urgency to President Bush. (Tenet is briefing Bush on a daily basis at this time, but he will later say that Rice has a much better rapport with the president.) Black will say, “The only thing we didn’t do was pull the trigger to the gun we were holding to her head.” [Woodward, 2006, pp. 80; Washington Post, 10/1/2006] Rice says that Bush will align his policy with the new realities and grant new authorities. Writing in 2007, Tenet will say that this response is “just the outcome I had expected and hoped for,” and recall that as they leave the meeting, Blee and Black congratulate each other on having got the administration’s attention. Nevertheless, Rice does not take the requested action until after 9/11. [Tenet, 2007, pp. 153-4]
Rice Concerned about Genoa - Clarke will recall in 2006 that Rice focuses on the possible threat to Bush at an upcoming summit meeting in Genoa, Italy (see June 13, 2001 and July 20-22, 2001). Rice and Bush have already been briefed about the Genoa warning by this time (see July 5, 2001). Rice also promises to quickly schedule a high-level White House meeting on al-Qaeda. However, that meeting does not take place until September 4, 2001 (see September 4, 2001). [McClatchy Newspapers, 10/2/2006] Rice also directs that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Attorney General John Ashcroft be given the same briefing, and they receive it a short time later (see July 11-17, 2001).
Meeting Not Mentioned in 9/11 Commission Report - The meeting will not be mentioned in the 9/11 Commission Report (see August 4, 2002), and there will be controversy when it is fully revealed in 2006 (see September 29, 2006, September 30-October 3, 2006, and October 1-2, 2006).

July 11, 2001: Attorney General Ashcroft Says ‘Our Number One Priority Is the Prevention of Terrorist Attacks’
John Ashcroft speaking at the National Governors Association summit on domestic terrorism. [Source: Red Cross]Attorney General John Ashcroft gives a speech at a summit on preparing the US for domestic terrorism, held in Washington, DC (see July 10-11, 2001). He says, “[W]e must be vigilant about the prevention of attacks utilizing weapons of mass destruction. And we must be prepared to mitigate the damage to human life and property should our worst fears come true.” He also says, “Our number one priority is the prevention of terrorist attacks,” but cautions, “We will not always be able to prevent terrorist attacks. When an incident occurs, we must react and react quickly.” [Associated Press, 7/11/2001; National Governors Association, 7/11/2001 ] Yet despite his claim that preventing terrorism is a priority, one day after this speech Ashcroft reportedly tells the acting FBI director that he does not want to hear about terrorism anymore (see July 12, 2001). In a letter he’d sent out to department heads two months previously, describing the agenda of the new administration and citing seven goals, he’d made no mention of terrorism (see May 10, 2001). And the day before 9/11, Ashcroft will refuse to endorse the FBI’s request for a $58 million increase in counterterrorism funding (see September 10, 2001).

July 11, 2001: Assistant FBI Director Predicts Terrorist Attack in the US
Dale Watson. [Source: FBI]At a conference on domestic terrorism held in Washington, DC (see July 10-11, 2001), Assistant FBI Director Dale Watson, the head of the Counterterrorism Division, warns that a significant terrorist attack is likely on US soil. He says, “I’m not a gloom-and-doom-type person. But I will tell you this. [We are] headed for an incident inside the United States.” This quote appears in a Reuters news story about the conference, entitled, “Terrorist Attack on US Soil Predicted.” Apparently paraphasing Watson, the Reuters article reports, “The FBI predicts terrorists will launch a major attack on American interests abroad every year for the next five years and thinks an attack using a weapon of mass destruction is likely at home.” The article also says that the number one threat is “from exiled Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden.” Attorney General John Ashcroft also speaks at the conference about security measures for upcoming public events such as the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City (see July 11, 2001).

July 11-17, 2001: Rumsfeld and Ashcroft Receive Urgent Al-Qaeda Warning Recently Given to White House
Defense Secretary Rumsfeld and Attorney General Ashcroft receive the same CIA briefing about a likely imminent, multiple, and simultaneous al-Qaeda strike that was given to the White House on July 10, 2001 (see July 10, 2001). In 2006, the State Department will reveal the two were briefed within a week of the White House briefing, at the request of National Security Adviser Rice. One official who helped prepare the briefing later describes it as a “ten on a scale of one to ten” that “connected the dots” to present a stark warning that al-Qaeda is ready to launch a new attack. A Pentagon spokesman says he has no information “about what may or may not have been briefed” to Rumsfeld, and Rumsfeld does not answer questions about it. Ashcroft says he was not given any briefing and calls it “disappointing” that he was not briefed. After it is confirmed that Ashcroft was briefed, apparently on July 17, Ashcroft will still claim not to remember the briefing, and will say he only recalls another CIA briefing earlier in the month (see July 5, 2001). Journalist Andrew Cockburn later reports that, “according to several intelligence sources,” Rumsfeld’s reaction to the briefing at the time “was one of vehement dismissal, complete with cutting observations about the CIA falling victim to ‘vast doses of al-Qaeda disinformation’ and ‘mortal doses of gullibility.’” McClatchy Newspapers will comment that these briefings raise “new questions about what the Bush administration did in response, and about why so many officials have claimed they never received or don’t remember the warning.” [McClatchy Newspapers, 10/2/2006; Cockburn, 2007, pp. 9] On July 26, 2001, it will be reported that Ashcroft has stopped flying on commercial airlines within the US (see July 26, 2001).

July-September 11, 2001: Member of ‘Lackawanna Six’ Fails to Tell FBI about Important Bin Laden Warning or Presence of Al-Qaeda in US
Edward Needham, an FBI agent in Buffalo, New York, has been investigating a group of eight Yemeni-Americans in the nearby town of Lackawanna after receiving an anonymous letter saying they have been training in Afghanistan (see Early June 2001). In fact, they were, and while there they heard a speech from Osama bin Laden in which he mentioned there were 40 suicide bombers on their way to a very important mission (see (June 2001)). This group will later be known as the “Lackawanna Six” for the six of them who return to the US. Some time around July, Needham interviews Sahim Alwan, who has recently come back from Afghanistan. But Alwan says he had only traveled to Pakistan for religious training. The others who returned also fail to tell any authorities that they have been in Afghanistan or what they learned there. On September 11, 2001, hours after the 9/11 attacks, Needham calls Alwan and asks him if anyone new has come into town. Alwan says no. But in fact, Juma al-Dosari, an al-Qaeda operative who recruited the Lackawanna Six, has recently returned to Lackawanna and Alwan knows where he is staying. Al-Dosari is trying to recruit a second group of young men to go train in Afghanistan. But the training camps are closed down and al-Dosari leaves town before the FBI finds out he is there. He tells friends that he is going to fight for the Taliban. He will be captured in Pakistan in December 2001 and transferred to Guantanamo prison soon thereafter.

July 12, 2001: Acting FBI Director Prevented by CIA from Telling Attorney General Ashcroft about Al-Qaeda Malaysia Summit
On July 12, 2001, acting FBI Director Tom Pickard briefs Attorney General Ashcroft a second time about the al-Qaeda threat (see July 12, 2001). In a later letter to the 9/11 Commission discussing the meeting, Pickard will mention, “I had not told [Ashcroft] about the meeting in Malaysia since I was told by FBI Assistant Director Dale Watson that there was a ‘close hold’ on that info. This means that it was not to be shared with anyone without the explicit approval of the CIA.” During the briefing, Pickard also strongly recommends that Ashcroft be briefed by the CIA to learn details that Pickard feels he is not allowed to reveal. The “meeting in Malaysia” is an obvious reference to the January 2000 al-Qaeda summit in Malaysia (see January 5-8, 2000). Louis Freeh, the FBI director at the time of the summit, and other unnamed FBI officials were told some about the summit while it was taking place (see January 6, 2000). It is unknown if Pickard and Watson learned about it at that time, but Pickard’s letter shows they both knew about it by the time of this briefing. It is not known why the CIA placed a “close hold” on any mention of the Malaysian summit so strict that even the attorney general could not be told. Since two of the 9/11 hijackers attended that summit, sharing the information about the summit with other agencies may have helped stop the 9/11 attacks. [Pickard, 6/24/2004]

July 12, 2001: Attorney General Ashcroft Reportedly Does Not Want to Hear about Al-Qaeda Threat
Thomas Pickard. [Source: Federal Bureau of Investigation]Acting FBI Director Thomas Pickard attempts to brief Attorney General John Ashcroft on the al-Qaeda terrorist threat for a second time (see June 28, 2001), but Ashcroft is uninterested and says he does not want to hear about it, according to Pickard’s later account.
'I Don't Want to Hear about It Anymore' - According to a June 24, 2004 letter from Pickard to the 9/11 Commission, Pickard opens the briefing by discussing “counterintelligence and counterterrorism matters.” Pickard’s letter will go on to say: “The fourth item I discussed was the continuing high level of ‘chatter’ by al-Qaeda members. The AG [attorney general] told me, ‘I don’t want to hear about it anymore, there’s nothing I can do about it.’ For a few seconds, I did not know what to say, then I replied that he should meet with the director of the CIA to get a fuller briefing on the matter.… I resumed my agenda but I was upset about [Ashcroft’s] lack of interest. He did not tell me nor did I learn until April 2004 that the CIA briefed him on the increase in chatter and level of threat on July 5, 2001” (see July 5, 2001 and July 11-17, 2001). [Pickard, 6/24/2004] In testimony under oath to the 9/11 Commission in 2004, Pickard will affirm that, “at least on two occasions” he briefed Ashcroft on a rising threat level and concerns about an impending attack, which were being reported by the CIA. Commissioner Richard Ben-Veniste will ask Pickard if he has told Commission staff that Ashcroft “did not want to hear about this anymore,” to which Pickard will respond, “That is correct.” [9/11 Commission, 4/13/2004 ] According to Pickard’s later recollection: “Before September 11th, I couldn’t get half an hour on terrorism with Ashcroft. He was only interested in three things: guns, drugs, and civil rights.” [Miller, Stone, and Mitchell, 2002, pp. 293]
Differing Accounts of What Was Said at the Meeting - According to the 9/11 Commission’s June 3, 2004 record of its interview with Watson, “Pickard told Watson that he was briefing Ashcroft on counterterrorism, and Ashcroft told him that he didn’t want to hear ‘anything about these threats,’ and that ‘nothing ever happened.’” [9/11 Commission, 6/3/2004 ] Author Philip Shenon will write about this meeting in his 2008 book, The Commission, based on interviews with Pickard and “Commission investigators who researched his allegations,” but none of the quotes or representations of fact in Shenon’s text will cite a specific source. Shenon will make reference to Mark Jacobson and Caroline Barnes as being the 9/11 Commission staffers who interviewed Pickard. [Shenon, 2008, pp. 240-248, 433] According to Shenon’s version of the meeting, Ashcroft replies to Pickard: “I don’t want you to ever talk to me about al-Qaeda, about these threats. I don’t want to hear about al-Qaeda anymore.” [Shenon, 2008, pp. 247] Ashcroft, in testimony under oath to the 9/11 Commission, will dismiss Pickard’s allegation, saying, “I did never speak to him saying that I did not want to hear about terrorism.” [9/11 Commission, 4/13/2004 ] Pickard will respond to Ashcroft’s testimony in his 2004 letter, saying, “What [Ashcroft] stated to the Commission under oath is correct, but they did not ask him, ‘Did he tell me he did not want to hear about the chatter and level of threat?’ which is the conversation to which I testified under oath.” [Pickard, 6/24/2004] The deputy attorney general at the time of the meeting, Larry D. Thompson, and Ashcroft’s chief of staff, David T. Ayres, will sign a letter to the 9/11 Commission on July 12, 2004, in which they say they are responding to Pickard’s allegation that when he briefed Ashcroft “on the al-Qaeda threat prior to September 11, 2001, the attorney general responded that he did not want to hear such information anymore.” The letter will say Thompson and Ayres were present at that and the other regular meetings between Pickard and Ashcroft, and “the attorney general made no such statement in that or any other meeting.” [Ayres, 7/12/2004] The 9/11 Commission Report will conclude, “We cannot resolve this dispute.” [Commission, 2004]
Differing Accounts of Who Was at the Meeting - Pickard’s 2004 letter will state that Ayres is at the meeting, but has left the room prior to that part of the meeting, as he does not have the required level of security clearance. Pickard’s letter indicated that the FBI Assistant Director for Criminal Investigations, Ruben Garcia, is at the meeting and also witnesses the exchange. [Pickard, 6/24/2004] Shenon’s book puts Garcia at the meeting, but does not make reference to Garcia’s account of what is said there. Also, in the notes to Shenon’s book, it will not say that he interviewed Garcia. [Shenon, 2008, pp. 247-248, 433] According to a June 22, 2004 NBC News report: “Commission investigators also tracked down another FBI witness at the meeting that day, Ruben Garcia… Several sources familiar with the investigation say Garcia confirmed to the Commission that Ashcroft did indeed dismiss Pickard’s warnings about al-Qaeda.” Furthermore, “Pickard did brief Ashcroft on terrorism four more times that summer, but sources say the acting FBI director never mentioned the word al-Qaeda again in Ashcroft’s presence—until after Sept. 11.” [MSNBC, 6/22/2004] According to the 9/11 Commission Report, “Ruben Garcia… attended some of Pickard’s briefings of the attorney general but not the one at which Pickard alleges Ashcroft made the statement.” [Commission, 2004, pp. 536n52]
Ashcroft Denies FBI Requests and Appeals, Cuts Counterterrorism Funding - Following the meeting, on July 18, Ashcroft will reject the FBI’s request for an increase in funding for counterterrorism, and instead propose cuts to that division (see July 18, 2001). Pickard will appeal this decision; Ashcroft will reject the appeal on September 10, 2001 (see September 10, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 4/13/2004]

July 13, 2001: Bush Administration Again Denies CIA Expanded Authority to Assassinate Bin Laden
The Bush administration again denies the CIA expanded authorities to go on the offensive against bin Laden. These authorities would include permission to assassinate bin Laden without making an attempt to capture him alive first. In March 2001, the CIA wanted to give a draft request about this to the Bush administration, but officials weren’t ready so the draft was withdrawn (see Early March 2001). On July 13, three days after a dramatic CIA presentation about a likely upcoming al-Qaeda attack (see July 10, 2001), a meeting of deputy cabinet officials is held to discuss the CIA’s expanded authorities request. However, no decisions are made. Tenet will later comment, “the bureaucracy moved slowly.” The Bush administration will grant these authorities a few days after 9/11. [Tenet, 2007, pp. 154]

July 13, 2001: White House Is Warned Al-Qaeda Attack Plans Are Delayed but Not Abandoned
By mid-July 2001, new intelligence indicates that the new al-Qaeda attack has been delayed, maybe for as long as two months, but not abandoned. So on this day, a Senior Executive Intelligence Brief (SEIB) sent to top White House officials is entitled, “Bin Laden Plans Delayed but Not Abandoned.” On July 25, a similar SEIB will be titled, “One Bin Laden Operation Delayed, Others Ongoing.” The SEIB is usually released one day after the corresponding President Daily Briefing and contains similar content (see January 20-September 10, 2001), so it is probable Bush receives this information. [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 259, 534] After 9/11, it will be discovered that in fact the 9/11 attack was originally planned to take place in the early summer but was delayed (see May-July 2001).

July 13, 2001: CIA Reexamines Al-Qaeda Malaysia Summit but ‘Major League Killer’ Is Not Put on Watch List
Tom Wilshire, a CIA manager assigned to the FBI who expressed interest two months earlier in surveillance photos from the al-Qaeda Malaysia summit (see January 5-8, 2000), now finds a cable he had been looking for regarding that summit. The cable, from January 2001, discusses al-Qaeda leader Khallad bin Attash’s presence at the summit. Wilshire explains later that bin Attash’s presence there had been troubling him. He writes an e-mail to the CIA’s Counterterrorist Center (CTC), stating, “[Khallad] is a major league killer, who orchestrated the Cole attack (see October 12, 2000) and possibly the Africa bombings (see 10:35-10:39 a.m., August 7, 1998).” Yet Khallad is still not put on a terrorist watch list. Wilshire asks that the FBI be passed this information, but the FBI will not actually be given the information until August 30, a week after it learns future 9/11 hijacker Khalid Almihdhar is in the US. [US Congress, 7/24/2003, pp. 157 ; US Department of Justice, 11/2004, pp. 298 ] Although the CIA managers that receive this e-mail are not named, Richard Blee, in charge of the CIA’s bin Laden unit and Wilshire’s former boss, appears to be one of the recipients: On the same day Wilshire sends this e-mail, Blee writes his own e-mail entitled “Identification of Khallad,” which is sent to another CIA officer. [Central Intelligence Agency, 7/13/2001; 9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 537] An FBI analyst assigned to the CTC is given the task of reviewing all other CIA cables about the Malaysian summit. It takes this analyst until August 21—over five weeks later—to put together that Khalid Almihdhar had a US visa and that Nawaf Alhazmi had traveled to the US. Yet other CIA agents are already well aware of these facts but are not sharing the information (see August 22, 2001). Working with immigration officials, this analyst then learns that Almihdhar entered and left the US in 2000, and entered again on July 4, 2001, and that Alhazmi appears to still be in the US.

July 13, 2001: CIA Manager Says Extra Person to Be Allocated to Malaysia Summit Re-evaluation, Unclear If this Happens
A CIA manager says that an additional intelligence officer, Doug Miller, will be assigned to help an ongoing low-key review of al-Qaeda’s Malaysia summit when Miller returns from holiday (see January 5-8, 2000 and Mid-May 2001). The statement is made in response to an e-mail by CIA manager Tom Wilshire, who pointed out that al-Qaeda leader Khallad bin Attash attended the summit, meaning it was important (see January 4, 2001). Presumably, the manager that sends this e-mail is Richard Blee, who is responsible for Alec Station, the CIA’s bin Laden unit. Blee appears to have received the e-mail to which this is a response (see July 13, 2001). The review is currently only being conducted by one intelligence officer, Margaret Gillespie, who is only told to do it in her spare time and whom it takes over three months to find CIA cables indicating two of the future 9/11 hijackers have entered the US (see August 21-22, 2001). Miller’s help would certainly benefit the review, as he is already aware one of the hijackers, Khalid Almihdhar, has a US visa, but a cable he drafted to notify the FBI about this was blocked by Wilshire (see 9:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. January 5, 2000). However, there is no mention of Miller actually being given the assignment on his return and no sign he does any work on this. Wilshire also asked that the FBI be officially told bin Attash attended the summit in Malaysia, but this information is again withheld (see January 5, 2001 and After).

July 14, 2001: NEADS Personnel Are Briefed on the Threat Posed by Bin Laden
Personnel at NORAD’s Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS) are briefed about the threat posed by Osama bin Laden. Lieutenant Colonel Mark Stuart, an intelligence officer at NEADS, will tell the 9/11 Commission that NORAD’s Continental United States Region has developed an “Osama bin Laden… threat briefing,” which is the last briefing of its kind before 9/11. The increased threat level relating to bin Laden and al-Qaeda is then “briefed at NEADS,” he will say. Further details of the briefing NEADS personnel receive are unstated. [9/11 Commission, 10/30/2003; 9/11 Commission, 10/30/2003 ] NEADS, based in Rome, New York, is responsible for protecting the airspace in which the hijackings take place on September 11. It will therefore be responsible for coordinating the US military’s response to the hijackings. [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 17; Vanity Fair, 8/1/2006; Shenon, 2008, pp. 203]

According to Waldorf, Atta purchases US postal money orders in denominations of $100 to $200, paying for them with cash, but she does not know how they are spent. Waldorf says that the money orders, which can only be cashed in the US, are “not traceable.” The owner of a local childcare center, Anna Brookbank, later says she recognizes Atta, having seen him shopping at a Punta Gorda supermarket during this period.

By mid-July the Macedonian police and military are no longer able to contain the KLA in the Tetovo-Kosovo corridor. The fighting intensifies and the KLA establishes secure bases in this region. On the evening of July 15, local KLA commanders notify Macedonian residents that they must flee or face execution. It is estimated that over 30,000 Macedonians are forced to flee their homes and become refugees. [Taylor, 2002, pp. 121-122]

Mid-July 2001: CIA Director Tenet Warns National Security Adviser Rice About Major Attack
CIA Director Tenet has a special meeting with National Security Adviser Rice and her aides about al-Qaeda. Says one official at the meeting, “[Tenet] briefed [Rice] that there was going to be a major attack.” Another at the meeting says Tenet displays a huge wall chart showing dozens of threats. Tenet does not rule out a domestic attack but says an overseas attack is more likely. [Time, 8/12/2002]

Mid-July 2001: Deputy Defense Secretary Wolfowitz Doubts Attack Warnings
Deputy National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley tells CIA Director George Tenet that Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz questions the significance of the recent surge in al-Qaeda warnings. Wolfowitz apparently suggests that bin Laden may merely be trying to study US reactions to an attack threat. Tenet replies that he has already addressed these questions and that the reporting is convincing. [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 259] Tenet is likely referring to a report delivered to the White House on June 30 entitled “Bin Laden Threats Are Real” (see June 30, 2001) that was prepared to deal with nearly identical doubts from Defense Secretary Rumsfeld (see Summer 2001). In April 2001, Wolfowitz said in a meeting that the main terrorist threat to the US was from Iraq, not bin Laden (see April 30, 2001).

Mid-July 2001: Pentagon Official Suggests to CIA Director Tenet that Al-Qaeda Is Just ‘Phantom Enemy’
Shortly after a pivotal al-Qaeda warning given by the CIA to top officials (see July 10, 2001), Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence Steve Cambone expresses doubts. He speaks to CIA Director George Tenet, and, as Tenet will later recall, he “asked if I had considered the possibility that al-Qaeda threats were just a grand deception, a clever ploy to tie up our resources and expend our energies on a phantom enemy that lacked both the power and the will to carry the battle to us.” Tenet claims he replied, “No, this is not a deception, and, no, I do not need a second opinion.… We are going to get hit. It’s only a matter of time.” After 9/11, Cambone will reportedly apologize to Tenet for being wrong. [Tenet, 2007, pp. 154] Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz raises similar doubts around the same time (see Mid-July 2001), and Tenet believes Defense Secretary Rumsfeld is blocking efforts to develop a strategy to fight bin Laden (see Summer 2001).

July 16, 2001: New York Taxi Driver Tells of E-mails Warning Imminent Al-Qaeda Attack on New York and Washington
A Village Voice reporter is told by a New York taxi driver, “You know, I am leaving the country and going home to Egypt sometime in late August or September. I have gotten e-mails from people I know saying that Osama bin Laden has planned big terrorist attacks for New York and Washington for that time. It will not be safe here then.” He does in fact return to Egypt for that time. The FBI, which is not told about this lead until after 9/11, interrogates and then releases him. He claims that many others knew what he knew prior to 9/11. [Village Voice, 9/25/2002]

July 16, 2001: British Intelligence Agencies Warn Al-Qaeda Is in the Final Stages of Preparing Attack in the West
British intelligence agencies send a report to British Prime Minister Tony Blair and other top officials warning that al-Qaeda is in “the final stages” of preparing an attack in the West. The prediction is “based on intelligence gleaned not just from [British intelligence] but also from US agencies, including the CIA and the National Security Agency,” which cooperate with the British. “The contents of the July 16 warning would have been passed to the Americans, Whitehall sources confirmed.” The report states there is “an acute awareness” that the attack is “a very serious threat.” [London Times, 6/14/2002] This appears to be similar, but not identical, to a warning to British leaders from MI5, Britain’s domestic intelligence agency, 10 days earlier (see July 6, 2001).

July 18, 2001: Attorney General Ashcroft Says FBI Budget Will Be Cut, including Counterterrorism
Attorney General John Ashcroft replies to the FBI’s annual budget proposal. The proposal had asked for a sizable increase for only one area—counterterrorism. However, Ashcroft says that the FBI’s budget for counterterrorism should be cut, not increased. The budgets for some other divisions will also be cut. Acting FBI Director Thomas Pickard asks Ashcroft if the FBI can appeal and Ashcroft agrees. Pickard and his top assistants discuss what should be appealed and decide only to appeal the counterterrorism cuts, as they feel that this is “the most important thing,” according to Pickard. The appeal will be denied on September 10 (see September 10, 2001). [Shenon, 2008, pp. 249]

July 19, 2001: FBI Director Tells Field Offices to Be Ready to Respond to New Attack but Not to Prevent It
Acting FBI Director Thomas Pickard holds a periodic conference call with the heads of all FBI field offices. According to a later account by Pickard, one item he discusses is the need to have evidence response teams ready to move quickly in case of a new attack. This is brought up in light of all the increased threat reporting. However, he does not task the field offices to look into whether any plots are being considered within the US; nor does he tell them to take any action to disrupt any such plots.

(July 19, 2001): 9/11 Hijacker Atta Tells Three Friends in Germany that Time Has Come to ‘Fear God’s Word’
Near the end of his visit to Spain in July 2001 (see July 8-19, 2001), future 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta sends a cell phone text message to three friends in Hamburg, Germany. The message reads: “Salam (greetings). This is for you, Abbas, and Mounir. Hasn’t the time come to fear God’s word. Allah. I love you all. Amir.” The message is sent to Said Bahaji, so he is the “you.” “Mounir” is Mounir El Motassadeq. “Abbas” is Abbas Tahir, a Sudanese friend of Ziad Jarrah’s who author Terry McDermott says is one of the Hamburg group. Atta signs the message “Amir” because he is generally known as Mohamed el-Amir in Germany. The information about this message will come from the BKA (German intelligence). It will be unknown if the BKA finds the message before or after 9/11. [McDermott, 2005, pp. xi, 225, 303, 328]

July 20, 2001: 9/11 Hijacker Hanjour and Possibly Alhazmi Fly Near Washington
9/11 hijacker Hani Hanjour rents an aircraft from Caldwell Flight Academy in New Jersey and flies to Montgomery Airpark in Maryland. The route he takes means that he flies near to Washington. He is accompanied by another man the 9/11 Commission will suggest is hijacker Nawaf Alhazmi, whose credit card is used to pay for the aircraft rental, as well as fuel in Maryland.

July 20, 2001: Call between KSM, Bin Al-Shibh about Moussaoui Intercepted
An unknown intelligence agency intercepts a telephone call between alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed (KSM) and his associate Ramzi bin al-Shibh. [9/11 Commission, 2004; 9/11 Commission, 3/18/2004] In the call, KSM and bin al-Shibh discuss the state of the 9/11 plot, in particular the fact that Ziad Jarrah, one of the proposed pilots, may drop out. They speak in a code, substituting unexceptional words for what they really mean. [9/11 Commission, 3/18/2004] KSM instructs bin al-Shibh to send the “skirts,” meaning money forwarded to bin al-Shibh by an associate of KSM, to “Sally,” meaning Moussaoui. [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 246] The reason for this is that “Teresa,” meaning Jarrah, is “late,” i.e. he is wavering and may drop out of the plot, due to possible conflicts with lead hijacker Mohamed Atta about Jarrah’s isolation from the conspiracy. It therefore appears that KSM is thinking of Moussaoui as a replacement for Jarrah. According to a 9/11 Commission memo, KSM says something like, “if there is a divorce, it will cost a lot of money.” Bin al-Shibh then tries to reassure him, saying it will be okay. The conversation also mentions “Danish leather,” an apparent reference to failed “20th hijacker” Mohamed al-Khatani (see August 4, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 3/18/2004] The agency which intercepts this call is never identified to the public, although the NSA is reportedly intercepting such calls to and from KSM at this time (see Summer 2001). The 9/11 Commission will mention the call in a staff statement and its final report, but will not mention that it was intercepted, merely citing detainee interrogations as the source of information about it.

July 20-22, 2001: During G8 Summit, Italian Military Prepare against Attack from the Sky
Anti-aircraft stationed around the G8 Summit in Genoa, Italy. [Source: BBC]The G8 summit is held in Genoa, Italy. Acting on previous warnings that al-Qaeda would attempt to kill President Bush and other leaders, Italian authorities surround the summit with anti-aircraft guns. They keep fighter jets in the air and close off local airspace to all planes. [Los Angeles Times, 9/27/2001] The warnings are taken so seriously that Bush stays overnight on an aircraft carrier offshore, and other world leaders stay on a luxury ship. [CNN, 7/18/2001] No attack occurs. US officials state that the warnings were “unsubstantiated,” but after 9/11, they will claim success in preventing an attack. [Los Angeles Times, 9/27/2001] According to author Philip Shenon, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice is involved in discussions about the precautions, and this is the only time she focuses on al-Qaeda threats in the summer of 2001. Shenon will add: “There is no record to show that Rice made any special effort to discuss terrorist threats with Bush. The record suggested, instead, that it was not a matter of special interest to either of them that summer.” [Shenon, 2008, pp. 154]

July 21, 2001: US Official Threatens Possible Military Action Against Taliban by October if Pipeline Is Not Pursued
Niaz Naik. [Source: Calcutta Telegraph (left)]Three former American officials, Tom Simons (former US Ambassador to Pakistan), Karl Inderfurth (former Deputy Secretary of State for South Asian Affairs), and Lee Coldren (former State Department expert on South Asia) meet with Pakistani and Russian intelligence officers in a Berlin hotel. [Salon, 8/16/2002] This is the third of a series of back-channel conferences called “brainstorming on Afghanistan.” Taliban representatives sat in on previous meetings, but boycotted this one due to worsening tensions. However, the Pakistani ISI relays information from the meeting to the Taliban. [Guardian, 9/22/2001] At the meeting, Coldren passes on a message from Bush officials. He later says, “I think there was some discussion of the fact that the United States was so disgusted with the Taliban that they might be considering some military action.” [Guardian, 9/26/2001] Accounts vary, but former Pakistani Foreign Secretary Niaz Naik later says he is told by senior American officials at the meeting that military action to overthrow the Taliban in Afghanistan is planned to “take place before the snows started falling in Afghanistan, by the middle of October at the latest.” The goal is to kill or capture both bin Laden and Taliban leader Mullah Omar, topple the Taliban regime, and install a transitional government of moderate Afghans in its place. Uzbekistan and Russia would also participate. Naik also says, “It was doubtful that Washington would drop its plan even if bin Laden were to be surrendered immediately by the Taliban.” [BBC, 9/18/2001] One specific threat made at this meeting is that the Taliban can choose between “carpets of bombs” —an invasion—or “carpets of gold” —the pipeline. [Brisard and Dasquie, 2002, pp. 43] Naik contends that Tom Simons made the “carpets” statement. Simons claims, “It’s possible that a mischievous American participant, after several drinks, may have thought it smart to evoke gold carpets and carpet bombs. Even Americans can’t resist the temptation to be mischievous.” Naik and the other American participants deny that the pipeline was an issue at the meeting. [Salon, 8/16/2002]

July 23, 2001: CIA Officer Says Al-Qaeda Leader’s Associates like 9/11 Hijacker Almihdhar Are of ‘Very High Interest,’ Mentions Mysterious Almihdhar Connection
Due to a lack of response to a previous request that information about the Cole bombing and al-Qaeda’s Malaysia summit be passed to the FBI (see July 13, 2001), CIA officer Tom Wilshire e-mails another CIA manager asking about the request’s status. The manager’s identity is unknown, but the previous request was received by Richard Blee, a close associate of Wilshire’s who is responsible for the CIA’s bin Laden unit (see June 1999 and Between Mid-January and July 2000), so presumably he receives this request as well. Wilshire writes: “When the next big op is carried out by [Osama bin Laden’s] hardcore cadre, [Khallad bin Attash] will be at or near the top of the command food chain—and probably nowhere near either the attack site or Afghanistan. That makes people who are available and who have direct access to him of very high interest. Khalid [Almihdhar] should be very high interest anyway, given his connection to the [redacted].” The name of the redacted event or entity is unclear. [US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division, 7/31/2006 ] However, it could be a mention of Almihdhar’s role in the 1998 US embassy bombings in East Africa, since the CIA was aware of that from at least January 2000 (see 9:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. January 5, 2000). Or, more likely, it could be a mention of Almihdhar’s role in the 2000 USS Cole bombing (see October 12, 2000), since Wilshire mentioned earlier in the month that Almihdhar could be linked to the Cole bombers (see July 5, 2001).

[Source: US Navy]Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld writes a note, in which he expresses his fear of the US experiencing a “modern-day version” of Japan’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in 1941. Rumsfeld dictates the note to himself, which he intends to offer when he is next testifying before Congress. In the note, he states: “In some future hearing, I am going to say that I do not want to be sitting before this panel in a modern-day version of a Pearl Harbor post-mortem as to who didn’t do what, when, where, and why. None of us would want to have to be back here going through that agony.” [Donald Rumsfeld, 7/23/2001 ; Rumsfeld, 2011, pp. 334] The 9/11 attacks, which take place less than two months after Rumsfeld writes this note, will be frequently compared to the attack on Pearl Harbor. [New York Times, 9/12/2001; San Francisco Chronicle, 9/14/2001] Rumsfeld warned of the danger of a surprise attack like the one at Pearl Harbor happening again during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee in January this year (see January 11, 2001).

July 23, 2001: KSM, Using False Name but Real Photo, Is Given US Visa
The photograph of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed on his 2001 US visa application. [Source: 9/11 Commission]Khalid Shaikh Mohammed (KSM) is granted a visa to enter the US, despite being under a federal terrorism indictment, having a $2 million reward on his head, and being one of only a dozen people in the world on a US domestic no-fly list (see April 24, 2000). There is no evidence that he actually uses his visa to travel to the US. Investigators speculate that he may have considered a trip to shepherd some aspect of the 9/11 plot. He applied for the visa using a Saudi passport and an alias (Abdulrahman al Ghamdi), but the photo he submitted is really of him. He uses the new, controversial Visa Express program that allows Saudis to apply for US visas without having to appear in person at any point during the application process (see May 2001). [Los Angeles Times, 1/27/2004] Just a month earlier, the CIA passed a warning to all US intelligence agencies, certain military commanders, and parts of the Justice and Treasury Departments saying that Mohammed may be attempting to enter the US (see June 12, 2001). However, either this warning isn’t given to immigration officials or else they fail to notice his application. [Los Angeles Times, 1/27/2004]

July 23, 2001-October 20, 2004: Indonesian Vice President Supports Islamist Militant Leaders
Hamzah Haz. [Source: Secretary of Vice President of Republic of Indonesia]Hamzah Haz supports many Islamist militants during his time as vice president of Indonesia from 2001 to 2004. Hamzah serves under President Megawati Sukarnoputri, but he heads a different political party than she does, and his party, the United Development Party (PPP) has a more Muslim orientation. Prior to the October 2002 Bali bombings, Hamzah describes himself as “very close” to Abu Bakar Bashir, the alleged spiritual head of the al-Qaeda affiliate group Jemaah Islamiyah. Just one week before the Bali bombings, he says, “If you want to arrest Abu Bakar Bashir, you will have to deal with me first.” In May 2002, he kisses both of Bashir’s cheeks in public. And in August 2002, he publicly invites Bashir to dinner. Hamzah also calls himself “very close” to Jafar Umar Thalib, the head of Laskar Jihad, an Indonesian paramilitary group responsible for killing thousands of Christians in the province of Maluku (see January 1999-July 2001). [Age (Melbourne), 10/14/2002; Time, 10/21/2002] After the Bali bombings, Hamzah tones down his support for militants such as Bashir and Thalib. However, he continues to ridicule suggestions Indonesia has a serious terrorist problem. In September 2003, he says, “Who is the real terrorist? It is the United States for they have attacked Iraq. In fact they are the king of terrorists.” [Sydney Morning Herald, 9/5/2003]

July 24 or 28, 2001: Captured Operative Had Links That Could Have Led to Moussaoui, 9/11 Plot
Djamel Beghal. [Source: Public domain]High-level al-Qaeda operative Djamel Beghal is arrested in Dubai on his way back from Afghanistan. Earlier in the month the CIA sent friendly intelligence agencies a list of al-Qaeda agents they wanted to be immediately apprehended, and Beghal was on the list (see July 3, 2001).
Information Obtained - Beghal quickly starts to talk, and tells French investigators about a plot to attack the American embassy in Paris. Crucially, he provides new details about the international-operations role of top al-Qaeda deputy Abu Zubaida, whom he had been with a short time before. [New York Times, 12/28/2001; Time, 8/12/2002] One European official says Beghal talks about “very important figures in the al-Qaeda structure, right up to bin Laden’s inner circle. [He] mention[s] names, responsibilities and functions—people we weren’t even aware of before. This is important stuff.” [Time, 11/12/2001] One French official says of Beghal’s interrogations, “We shared everything we knew with the Americans.” [Time, 5/19/2002]
Link to 9/11 - The New York Times later will report, “Enough time and work could have led investigators from Mr. Beghal to an address in Hamburg where Mohamed Atta and his cohorts had developed and planned the Sept. 11 attacks.” Beghal had frequently associated with Zacarias Moussaoui. However, although Moussaoui is arrested (see August 16, 2001) around the same time that Beghal is revealing the names and details of all his fellow operatives, Beghal is apparently not asked about Moussaoui. [New York Times, 12/28/2001; Time, 8/12/2002]
Timing of Arrest - Most media accounts place the arrest on July 28. However, in a 2007 book CIA Director George Tenet will say he received a briefing about the arrest on July 24. [Tenet, 2007, pp. 156-157]

July 24, 2001: King of Jordan Offers to Send Troops to Eliminate Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan; US Not Immediately Interested
King Abdullah II. [Source: David Bohrer/ White House]CIA Director George Tenet will later reveal that on this day, he learns in a briefing that King Abdullah II of Jordan is offering to help the US with troops to defeat bin Laden in a decisive military manner. He offers to send two battalions (roughly between 1,000 and 2,000 soldiers) of “Jordanian Special Forces to go door to door in Afghanistan, if necessary, to deal with al-Qaeda. The offer was a wonderful gesture but would have to have been part of a larger overall strategy in order to succeed. To King Abdullah, bin Laden was the greatest threat in the world to his nation’s security….” [Tenet, 2007, pp. 156] There is a claim that al-Qaeda plotted an assassination of King Abdullah II, which was aborted when he learned of the plot in the summer of 2000. [Gunaratna, 2003, pp. 133] After 9/11, it will be reported that in July 2001, Jordan warned the US that al-Qaeda was planning an attack inside the US (see July 2001). It will also be reported that in the late summer of 2001, Jordan warned the US of a major al-Qaeda attack inside the US using aircraft. They say it is codenamed “The Big Wedding,” which is al-Qaeda’s codename for the 9/11 attacks (see Late Summer 2001).

July 24, 2001: World Trade Center Ownership Changes Hands for the First Time
Larry Silverstein. [Source: Silverstein Properties publicity photo]Real estate development and investment firm Silverstein Properties and real estate investment trust Westfield America Inc. finalize a deal worth $3.2 billion to purchase a 99-year lease on the World Trade Center. The agreement covers the Twin Towers, World Trade Center Buildings 4 and 5 (two nine-story office buildings), and about 425,000 square feet of retail space. [New York Times, 4/27/2001; Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, 7/24/2001; IREIzine, 7/26/2001] Westfield America Inc. will be responsible for the retail space, known as the Mall. Silverstein Properties’ lease will cover the roughly 10 million square feet of office space of the Twin Towers and Buildings 4 and 5. Silverstein Properties already owns Building 7 of the WTC, which it built in 1987. This is the only time the WTC has ever changed hands since it was opened in 1973. [International Council of Shopping Centers, 4/27/2001; Westfield Group, 7/24/2001; Daily Telegraph, 9/11/2001; New York Times, 11/29/2001; CNN, 8/31/2002] It was previously controlled by the New York Port Authority, a bi-state government agency. [Wall Street Journal, 5/12/2007] Silverstein and Westfield are given the right to rebuild the structures if they are destroyed. [New Yorker, 5/20/2002]
Silverstein Properties Not the Highest Bidder - Silverstein Properties’ bid for the WTC, at $3.22 billion, was the second highest after Vornado Realty Trust’s, at $3.25 billion. Silverstein Properties won the contract only after protracted negotiations between the Port Authority and Vornado Realty Trust failed. The privatization of the WTC has been overseen by Lewis M. Eisenberg, the chairman of the Port Authority. Eisenberg, a financier, is involved in Republican politics. [New York Times, 3/17/2001; Forward, 8/20/2004]
Banks Provide Most Money for Deal - Larry Silverstein, the president of Silverstein Properties, only uses $14 million of his own money for the deal. His partners, who include real estate investors Lloyd Goldman and Joseph Cayre, put up a further $111 million, and banks provide $563 million in loans. [Brill, 2003, pp. 156; New York Times, 11/22/2003; South Florida CEO, 2/2005; Wall Street Journal, 9/11/2008]
Silverstein's Lenders Want More Insurance - The Port Authority had carried only $1.5 billion in insurance coverage on all its buildings, including the WTC, but Silverstein’s lenders insist on more, eventually demanding $3.55 billion in cover. [American Lawyer, 9/3/2002] After 9/11, Larry Silverstein will claim the attacks on the World Trade Center constituted two separate events, thereby entitling him to a double payout totaling over $7 billion. [Daily Telegraph, 10/9/2001; Guardian, 8/18/2002] Eventually, after several years of legal wrangling, a total of $4.55 billion of insurance money will be paid out for the destruction of the WTC (see May 23, 2007). Most of this appears to go to Silverstein Properties. How much goes to Westfield America Inc. is unclear. [New York Post, 5/24/2007]

July 25, 2001: 9/11 Hijacker Jarrah Seems to Leave US Twice on Same Day
Future 9/11 hijacker Ziad Jarrah seems to leave the US twice on the same day. According to a 2002 FBI document about the 9/11 attacks, Jarrah takes a KLM flight from Atlanta, Georgia, to Amsterdam, Netherlands. But the same document says he also takes a Continental flight from Newark, New Jersey, to Dusseldorf, Germany. The FBI document contains a note from an analyst that merely comments this is “conflicting information.” [Federal Bureau of Investigation, 4/19/2002] Jarrah seems to leave the US twice in a short time period on one other occasion (see December 26-28, 2000).

Shortly After July 24 or 28, 2001: British Authorities Learn of London-Based Militant’s Arrest in Dubai, Take No Action against Top Associate
British authorities learn of the arrest of top Islamist militant Djamel Beghal in Dubai (see July 24 or 28, 2001), and the CIA tells them that an operative behind a plot Beghal is helping organize, a bombing of the US embassy in Paris, has arrived in Britain. [Tenet, 2007, pp. 157] It is unknown who the operative behind the plot is and what action British authorities take on the matter, but arrests of people linked to Beghal and his associates are made around Europe in the next few months (see September 13, 2001, September 26, 2001 and March 2000-September 22, 2001). Beghal has been active in Britain for some time, in particular at London’s radical Finsbury Park mosque, which is under surveillance by the British (see 1997), and a group of his associates are arrested in Britain one day after his capture is made public (see March 2000-September 22, 2001). However, no action is taken against one of his key associates, Abu Hamza al-Masri, who is an informer for the British (see Early 1997). Authors Sean O’Niell and Daniel McGrory will comment: “Despite Beghal’s clear links to operations in London and Leicester, however, there was no search of the [mosque] building and no attempt to arrest the chief recruiter [Abu Hamza] who had led the prayers there. The mosque continued to be at the centre of jihad recruitment.” [O'Neill and McGrory, 2006, pp. 94]

July 26, 2001: Attorney General Ashcroft Stops Flying Commercial Airlines; Refuses to Explain Why
Dan Rather in July 2001 presenting the story about John Ashcroft. [Source: CBS via Banded Artists Productions]CBS News reports that Attorney General Ashcroft has stopped flying commercial airlines due to a threat assessment, but “neither the FBI nor the Justice Department… would identify [to CBS] what the threat was, when it was detected or who made it.” [CBS News, 7/26/2001] One newspaper reports, “Ashcroft demonstrated an amazing lack of curiosity when asked if he knew anything about the threat. ‘Frankly, I don’t,’ he told reporters.” [San Francisco Chronicle, 6/3/2002] It is later reported that he stopped flying in July based on threat assessments made on May 8 and June 19. In May 2002, it is claimed the threat assessment had nothing to do with al-Qaeda, but Ashcroft walked out of his office rather than answer questions about it. [Associated Press, 5/16/2002] The San Francisco Chronicle will later conclude, “The FBI obviously knew something was in the wind.… The FBI did advise Ashcroft to stay off commercial aircraft. The rest of us just had to take our chances.” [San Francisco Chronicle, 6/3/2002] CBS’s Dan Rather will later ask of this warning: “Why wasn’t it shared with the public at large?” [Washington Post, 5/27/2002] On July 5, the CIA had warned Ashcroft to expect multiple, imminent al-Qaeda attacks overseas (see July 5, 2001) and on July 12 the FBI warned him about the al-Qaeda threat within the US (see July 12, 2001).

Counterterrorism “tsar” Richard Clarke informs National Security Adviser Rice and her deputy Stephen Hadley that the spike in intelligence about a near-term al-Qaeda attack has stopped. However, he urges keeping readiness at a high level during August, when President Bush and many other top US leaders go on vacation. He warns that another recent report suggests that an attack has just been postponed for a few months “but will still happen.” Similarly, on August 3, the CIA sends a cable to the US intelligence community warning that the threat of impending al-Qaeda attacks is likely to continue indefinitely.

July 27, 2001: 9/11 Hijacker Books Airplane Flight with Unknown Older Man
Future 9/11 hijacker Waleed Alshehri books a one-way airplane ticket from San Francisco to Miami, via Las Vegas, at a Florida travel agent office. According to an FBI report about the 9/11 attacks, he is accompanied by an older man in his mid-40s. Days after 9/11, the travel agent who books the flight will be shown photographs of the other hijackers in an attempt to determine who this other man is, but the agent will not recognize any of the hijackers as that man. Apparently, Alshehri does not use the flight, although he does fly from Miami to San Francisco and back a few days later. [Federal Bureau of Investigation, 4/19/2002] Mohamed Atta is believed to be the oldest of the 9/11 hijackers, and is 33 years old by the time of 9/11.

(July 27, 2001): CIA Checks Out Radicals Mentioned in Phoenix Memo, Also Receives Memo?
The FBI sends a request to the CIA, asking the agency to check for information on eight Islamist radicals mentioned in the Phoenix memo (see July 10, 2001). However, the CIA apparently does not find any additional information about them. [USA Today, 5/20/2002; Washington Times, 5/23/2002; Wright, 2006, pp. 350-1] Had the CIA investigated these men closely they might have turned up ties connecting them to al-Qaeda. For instance, in 2000, two friends of the main target of the Phoenix memo were detained and deported after twice attempting to enter a US airplane cockpit in what may have been practice for the 9/11 attacks. That same year it was learned by US intelligence that one of these men had received explosives and car bombing training in Afghanistan (see November 1999-August 2001). Other ties between the men in the memo go undiscovered; for instance, another person targeted in the memo had trained in al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan and will later be arrested with a top al-Qaeda leader (see July 10, 2001). Around this time, the Phoenix memo is sent to FBI headquarters and its I-49 squad in New York (see July 27, 2001 and after and July 27, 2001 or Shortly After). After 9/11, the CIA will say it did not receive the memo and its Office of Inspector General will agree with this. [US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division, 3/28/2005 ] However, in a 2006 book journalist Lawrence Wright will report that the memo was also sent to the CIA’s bin Laden unit. One of the sources Wright cites for this passage is Mark Rossini. Rossini is an FBI agent who at one time worked in the unit’s I-49 squad in New York, but was detailed to the bin Laden station in the summer of 2001.

July 27, 2001 and after: Phoenix Memo Received by FBI Headquarters; Little Action Taken in Response
FBI headquarters. [Source: GlobeXplorer]FBI headquarters receives the Phoenix Memo, but does not act on it. The memo was drafted by Arizona FBI agent Ken Williams and warns that a large number of Islamic extremists are learning to fly in the US. It is dated 17 days earlier, but is not uploaded until this date (see July 10, 2001). Although the memo is addressed to eight specific agents, it is apparently not received by all of them. The Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General will later say that the memo was not delivered directly to the addressees, but uploaded to a central dispatching point, from where it was assigned to Radical Fundamentalist Unit agent Elizabeth Matson on July 30. Before sending the memo, Williams called both Matson and her colleague Fred Stremmel to talk to them about it. Matson pulls up the memo, which has “routine” precedence, and prints and reads it. However, she thinks it should go to the bin Laden unit. A week later she discusses the matter with bin Laden unit agent Jennifer Maitner and they agree that Maitner will do some research and then they will talk again. Matson will later tell the Office of Inspector General she may have mentioned the memo to her superior, but is not sure. Her superior will say he was not consulted. Maitner discusses the memo with bin Laden unit chief Rod Middleton and also sends it to the FBI’s Portland, Oregon, field office, which was previously interested in one of the men named in the memo. However, she does not do anything else with it before 9/11, apparently due to her high workload. The FBI will later acknowledge the memo did not receive the sufficient or timely analysis that it deserved. [US Department of Justice, 11/2004, pp. 65-77, 80 ] The memo is also seen by the FBI’s New York field office (see July 27, 2001 or Shortly After), another RFU agent researching the Moussaoui case (see August 22, 2001) and possibly the CIA’s bin Laden unit (see (July 27, 2001)).

9/11 hijacker Marwan Alshehhi pays for a few hours of ground and flying time at Kemper Aviation in Lantana, Florida. According to a document used as evidence at the Zacarias Moussaoui trial, on the first day, “Alshehhi could not answer basic questions on the written aviation test, which he needed an instructor’s assistance to complete.” Alshehhi returns on July 30 and August 8, when he rents a plane for approximately one hour.

July 27, 2001 or Shortly After: FBI’s New York Office Receives Phoenix Memo, Takes Little Action
The FBI’s New York field office, which specializes in international terrorism, receives Ken Williams’ Phoenix Memo, but only briefly checks the named radicals and does not respond to Williams. In the memo, Williams noted that there is a suspiciously large number of Islamic extremists learning to fly in Arizona. Some of them will turn out to be connected to 9/11 hijacker Hani Hanjour (see July 10, 2001). Williams sent the memo to FBI headquarters (see July 27, 2001 and after) and the I-49 squad in the New York FBI field office. In New York, the memo is read by FBI agent Jack Cloonan, a member of the I-49 squad. Cloonan believes that the memo has a “glaring deficiency,” as he thinks bin Laden does not have a support operation in Arizona any more. He forms the opinion that William’s theory and conclusions are “faulty.” However, two of the hijackers were in Arizona in early 2001 (see December 12, 2000-March 2001) and some of the people named in the memo will later be linked to bin Laden (see October 1996-Late April 1999). In August 2001, Cloonan will ask, “Who’s going to conduct the thirty thousand interviews? When the f_ck do we have time for this?” Nonetheless, he checks out the eight names mentioned in the memo. He will apparently find nothing, although several individuals associated with the Phoenix cell are Sunni extremists (see November 1999-August 2001). The memo is also read by an analyst and an auditor in New York while they are researching other matters, and Cloonan will tell the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) he may have discussed the memo with some of his colleagues. The OIG’s report will say Cloonan told investigators that “he did not contact Williams or anyone else in Phoenix to discuss the [memo].” However, in a 2006 book author Lawrence Wright, citing an interview with Cloonan, will say that Cloonan spoke to Williams’ supervisor in Phoenix about it. [US Department of Justice, 11/2004, pp. 77-9 ; Wright, 2006, pp. 350, 426] The I-49 squad possibly forwards the memo to the Alec Station bin Laden unit at the CIA’s Counterterrorist Center (see (July 27, 2001)).

[Source: FBI]According to the Justice Department indictment against Zacarias Moussaoui, Moussaoui and 9/11 hijacker associate Ramzi bin al-Shibh are in communication for several days. Moussaoui makes several calls from Norman, Oklahoma, to Dusseldorf, Germany. Then, around July 31 someone using the name “Hashim Abdulrahman” in the United Arab Emirates sends two wire transfers totaling about $15,000 to an “Ahad Sabet” in Hamburg, Germany. Sabet is claimed to be an alias for bin al-Shibh. Then bin al-Shibh, again using the Sabet name, wires about $14,000 to Moussaoui in Oklahoma. [MSNBC, 12/11/2001] Moussaoui immediately moves to Minnesota and begins studying at a flight school there (see August 10-11, 2001). The passport with the name Ahad Sabet that bin al-Shibh used appears to belong to an innocent US doctor who had his passport stolen in Spain several years earlier (see July 7, 1998). [CNN, 8/7/2002]

Late July or Early August 2001: US Authorities Look into Theory that Iraq Had Role in 1993 WTC Bombing
Laurie Mylroie. [Source: Publicity photo]US authorities re-open the files on Ramzi Yousef, the convicted mastermind of the WTC bombing in 1993, and begin looking into the theory that Yousef may have actually been an Iraqi agent. Presumably this is in response to requests by Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz the month before to look into the matter (see June 2001). Yousef was convicted in 1996 (see September 5, 1996) and has been in custody since 1995 (see February 7, 1995). According to the official version of events, Yousef’s real name is Abdul Basit, a 27-year-old Pakistani who until 1989 was a computer student studying in South Wales. In late 2000, the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) published Study of Revenge: Saddam Hussein’s Unfinished War Against America arguing in support of the theory that Yousef was actually an Iraqi agent (see October 2000). The book, written by AEI scholar Laurie Mylroie, says that Basit was living with his parents in Kuwait in 1990 when Iraq invaded the country (see November 8, 1990). During the occupation, Iraqis presumably murdered him and his family and then altered police files so Iraqi intelligence could use his identity. [New Republic, 9/13/2001; London Times, 9/22/2001] In February 2001, former CIA Director James Woolsey traveled to Britain in an attempt to find evidence to support this theory (see February 2001). But Mylroie’s theory is debunked by authorities who match the fingerprints of Yousef to those of Basit. [Washington Monthly, 12/2003; Isikoff and Corn, 2006, pp. 81]

The 9/11 Commission will later report that in July a deep schism developed in the Taliban and even al-Qaeda leadership over the wisdom of going through with the 9/11 attacks. Apparently, even top Taliban leader Mullah Omar was ideologically opposed to the attacks at this time, though he may have changed his mind before 9/11. [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 251-252]

Late July 2001: Taliban Foreign Minister Tries to Warn US and UN of Huge Attack Inside the US
Taliban Foreign Minister Wakil Muttawakil. [Source: Reuters]Taliban Foreign Minister Wakil Ahmed Muttawakil learns that bin Laden is planning a “huge attack” on targets inside America. The attack is imminent, and will kill thousands. He learns this from Tahir Yuldashev, top leader of the rebel Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), which is allied with al-Qaeda at the time. Yuldashev apparently is worried that a large al-Qaeda attack will lead to a US attack on Afghanistan, which would threaten the IMU’s safe haven there. Muttawakil sends an emissary to pass this information on to the US consul general, and another US official, “possibly from the intelligence services,” also attends the meeting. The message is not taken very seriously; one source blames this on “warning fatigue” from too many warnings. In addition, the emissary supposedly is from the Foreign Ministry, but did not say the message came from Muttawakil himself. The emissary then takes the message to the Kabul offices of UNSMA, the political wing of the UN. They also fail to take the warning seriously. [Independent, 9/7/2002; Reuters, 9/7/2002]

Argentina’s Jewish community receives warnings of a major attack against the United States, Argentina, or France from “a foreign intelligence source.” The warning is then relayed to the Argentine security authorities.

Says a Jewish leader, “It was a concrete warning that an attack of major proportion would take place, and it came from a reliable intelligence source. And I understand the Americans were told about it.” Argentina has a large Jewish community that has been bombed in the past, and has been an area of al-Qaeda activity. [Forward, 5/31/2002]

Late July 2001: Egypt Warns CIA of 20 Al-Qaeda Operatives in US; Four Training to Fly; CIA Is Not Interested
CBS later reports, in a long story on another topic: “Just days after [Mohamed] Atta return[s] to the US from Spain, Egyptian intelligence in Cairo says it received a report from one of its operatives in Afghanistan that 20 al-Qaeda members had slipped into the US and four of them had received flight training on Cessnas. To the Egyptians, pilots of small planes didn’t sound terribly alarming, but they [pass] on the message to the CIA anyway, fully expecting Washington to request information. The request never [comes].” [CBS News, 10/9/2002] This appears to be just one of several accurate Egyptian warnings from their informants inside al-Qaeda. Around this time, word of the upcoming 9/11 attacks is spreading widely in the training camps in Afghanistan. For instance, in a recorded speech played at one of the camps, Osama bin Laden specifically urges trainees to pray for the success of an upcoming attack involving 20 martyrs (see Summer 2001).

However, the Bush administration rejects a plan to capture him, as officials are not 100 percent sure the patient is al-Zawahiri. Officials later regret the missed opportunity. [ABC News, 2/20/2002] In another account, an anonymous CIA source claims that the “Egyptian intelligence service briefed us that he was in a hospital in Sana’a. We sent a few people over there, and they made a colossal screwup. While our guys were conducting a surveillance of the hospital, the guards caught them with their videocameras.” [New Yorker, 9/9/2002] CIA Director Tenet will touch on this incident in his 2007 book, saying that only that on July 24, 2001, “we had reporting that al-Zawahiri was in Yemen and we were pursuing confirmation and a plan to exfiltrate him to the United States. Although we doubted this information, it was out intention to play this hand out.” He doesn’t mention what happened after that. [Tenet, 2007] Al-Zawahiri also appears to have spent time in Yemen in 1998 (see Spring-Summer 1998).

After May, Schippers continues to get increasingly precise information about this attack from FBI agents in Chicago and Minnesota, and around July he renews efforts to pass the warning to politicians. He will claim, “I tried to see if I could get a Congressman to go to bat for me and at least bring these people [to Washington] and listen to them. I sent them information and nobody cared. It was always, ‘We’ll get back to you,’ ‘We’ll get back to you,’ ‘We’ll get back to you.’” At the same time he is attempting to pass on this warning, he will claim he is also attempting to pass on the work of reporter Jayna Davis and her theory that Middle Easterners were involved in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing (see 8:35 a.m. - 9:02 a.m. April 19, 1995), and also Wright’s claim that Hamas operatives were operating freely inside the US (see February-March 2001). The three claims put together seem to lead to a bad response; Schippers later comments, “People thought I was crazy.” Around July 15, he attempts to contact Attorney General John Ashcroft. Conservative activist “Phyllis Schlafly finally apparently made some calls. She called me one day and said, ‘I’ve talked to John Ashcroft, and he’ll call you tomorrow.’” The next day, one of Ashcroft’s underlings in the Justice Department calls him back and says, “We don’t start our investigations with the Attorney General. Let me look into this, and I’ll have somebody get back to you right away.” Schippers will say he never did hear back from anyone in the Justice Department. Perhaps coincidentally, on July 26 it will be reported that Ashcroft has stopped flying commercial aircraft due to an unnamed threat (see July 26, 2001). In late August, his FBI agent sources again confirm that an al-Qaeda attack on lower Manhattan is imminent. [WorldNetDaily, 10/21/2001; Indianapolis Star, 5/18/2002; Ahmed, 2004, pp. 258-260] In 2003, Wright will say, “In 2000 and in 2001, [Schippers] contacted several US congressmen well before the September 11th attacks. Unfortunately, these congressmen failed to follow through with Mr. Schippers’ request that they investigate my concerns.” It is not clear if Wright was one of the Chicago FBI agents that Schippers claims gave warnings about a Manhattan attack, or if Wright is only referring to Wright’s investigation into funding for Hamas and other groups that Schippers was also warning politicians about (see February-March 2001).

Late Summer 2001: Jordan Warns US that Aircraft Will Be Used in Major Attack Inside the US
Jordanian intelligence (the GID) makes a communications intercept deemed so important that King Abdullah’s men relay it to Washington, probably through the CIA station in Amman. To make doubly sure the message gets through it is passed through an Arab intermediary to a German intelligence agent. The message states that a major attack, code named “The Big Wedding,” is planned inside the US and that aircraft will be used. “When it became clear that the information was embarrassing to Bush administration officials and congressmen who at first denied that there had been any such warnings before September 11, senior Jordanian officials backed away from their earlier confirmations.” The Christian Science Monitor will call the story “confidently authenticated” even though Jordan has backed away from it. [International Herald Tribune, 5/21/2002; Christian Science Monitor, 5/23/2002] It has been reported elsewhere that in July 2001, Jordan warns the US that al-Qaeda is planning an attack inside the US, but it is unknown if this is referring to the same warning or a separate one (see July 2001). In late July 2001, the king of Jordan will offer the US to send two battalions of Jordanian special forces to Afghanistan to eliminate al-Qaeda havens there (see July 24, 2001). Also in July 2001, Jordan briefly detains and interrogates Mohammed Haydar Zammar, who is a member of the Hamburg cell with three of the 9/11 hijackers (see July 2001). Zammar appears to have foreknowledge of the 9/11 plot around this time (see August 2001).

August 2001: Al-Qaeda Hamburg Cell Member Zammar Appears to Have Foreknowledge of 9/11 Attacks
Al-Qaeda Hamburg cell member Mohammed Haydar Zammar appears to have foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks. Ibrahim Diab, a Lebanese national, has recently been recruited into the cell. Diab makes plans to attend an al-Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan, and Zammar pays for his travel expenses to the camp. Zammar is generally considered to be the main recruiter for the cell. Diab will later claim that Zammar warns him in August 2001 to leave for the camps as soon as possible because something big is about to happen. [Los Angeles Times, 1/30/2003] In 2002, the Los Angeles Times will report: “Zammar’s bluster matched his size. In almost any discussion, his was the loudest voice and most radical view.… In part because of Zammar’s outspokenness, authorities tend to discount his role in the Sept. 11 plot. They concluded no one would entrust information to a braggart like him.” [Los Angeles Times, 9/1/2002] Diab’s confession, made public in 2003, would seem to discredit the idea that Zammar was not trusted with knowledge of the 9/11 plot. And since Zammar is monitored for years before 9/11 (see March 1997-Early 2000), it also raises questions about what German intelligence might have learned from monitoring him. Diab will fly out of Germany on September 10, 2001, just one day before the 9/11 attacks (see September 10, 2001). He will attend an al-Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan, but be arrested in Pakistan in late October and quickly deported back to Germany. He will confess his activities to German intelligence shortly thereafter, and then be released without charge (see October 29, 2001). [Chicago Tribune, 2/23/2003]

August 2001: FAA Told to Warn Airlines of Hijacking or Airliner Bombing in New York, Atlanta, and Other Locations
The CIA sends a message to the FAA asking the FAA to advise corporate security directors of US airlines, “A group of six Pakistanis currently based in La Paz, Bolivia may be planning to conduct a hijacking, or possibly a bombing or an act of sabotage against a commercial airliner. While we have no details of the carrier, the date, or the location of this or these possibly planned action(s), we have learned the group has had discussions in which Canada, England, Malaysia, Cuba, South Africa, Mexico, Atlanta, New York, Madrid, Moscow, and Dubai have come up, and India and Islamabad have been described as possible travel destinations.” [US Congress, 9/18/2002] In late July, the government of Bolivia arrested six Pakistanis, though it is not clear if they are the same six or an additional six. One of them appeared to be related to Mir Aimal Kasi, a militant who killed two CIA employees in front of CIA headquarters in 1993 (see January 25, 1993). [Tenet, 2007, pp. 156] The 9/11 Congressional Inquiry will later note, “While this information was not related to an attack planned by al-Qaeda, it did alert the aviation community to the possibility that a hijacking plot might occur in the US shortly before the September 11 attacks occurred.” [US Congress, 9/18/2002] It has not been reported if the FAA actually passed this message on to the US airlines or not. There have been no reports of any extra security measures taken by the airlines, airports, or the FAA in the month before 9/11 in places such as New York City and Atlanta.

August 2001: Moroccan Informant Warns US of Large Scale, Imminent Attack in New York
In 1999, a Moroccan named Hassan Dabou infiltrated al-Qaeda for the Moroccan intelligence agency. He was sent to Afghanistan, posing as an Islamic radical on the run from the Moroccan government. While there, he was able to grow close to bin Laden. He heard bin Laden repeatedly vent his anger at the failure of the World Trade Center bombing in 1993 (see February 26, 1993). Bin Laden was “very disappointed” that the towers did not fall. Dabou heard that bin Laden had planned “something spectacular” involving “large scale operations in New York in the summer or fall of 2001.” Moroccan intelligence passed this information to US. Around this time, US intelligence is so interested that they call Dabou to Washington to report on this information in person. Dabout makes the trip in secret, but apparently his cover is blown and he is unable to go back and gather more intelligence. Dabou is still in Washington cooperating with US intelligence agents when 9/11 occurs. After 9/11 he will remain in Washington, get a new identity, and continue to work with US intelligence.

August 2001: Six 9/11 Hijackers Live Near Entrance to NSA
At least six 9/11 hijackers, including all of those who boarded Flight 77, live in Laurel, Maryland, from about this time. They reportedly include Hani Hanjour, Majed Moqed, Khalid Almihdhar, Nawaf Alhazmi, and Salem Alhazmi. Laurel, Maryland, is home to a Muslim imam named Moataz Al-Hallak who teaches at a local Islamic school and has been linked to bin Laden. He has testified three times before a grand jury investigating bin Laden. NSA expert James Bamford later states, “The terrorist cell that eventually took over the airliner that crashed into the Pentagon ended up living, working, planning and developing all their activities in Laurel, Maryland, which happens to be the home of the NSA. So they were actually living alongside NSA employees as they were plotting all these things.” [Washington Post, 9/19/2001; Radio 4 'Today', 6/21/2002]

August 2001: 9/11 Hijacker Possibly Seen Near Facility Where ‘Blind Sheikh’ Is Being Held
Mohand Alshehri. [Source: FBI]Hijacker Mohand Alshehri is apparently seen in a bar in Rochester, Minnesota, and is engaged in conversation with a woman there. Rochester is home to the Federal Medical Center prison, where the “Blind Sheikh,” Sheikh Omar Abdul-Rahman, is held from 1998 to 2002. The hijackers have a number of tangential links to him (see Early 2000-September 10, 2001). The woman, Nancy Hanlon, often runs into Arabs at the bar, which is popular with Saudis receiving medical treatment nearby. Hanlon will later describe Alshehri as “young, dishevelled—and utterly despondent. He was slumped over a glass of beer… It was overwhelming—the despair that a person can give out! Out of every part of him. His face.” During their three-hour conversation Alshehri, who claims to be a pilot and produces a pilot’s ID, insists, “You are talking to a dead man. I don’t exist. I’m a ghost. I’m not even here, I’m dead… I’ve got myself into something there is no way out. There is no way out… It has been decided. He has decided it. It is done. It is finished.” However, he does brighten up a few times and says, “We are really going to show your country something. Something big. It’s going to be really big.” After 9/11, Hanlon apparently remains unaware of pictures showing Alshehri as one of the 9/11 hijackers. She goes to the FBI in 2002 and identifies Alshehri from a series of photographs. However, the FBI will say there is no reason to believe Alshehri ever visited Rochester.

August 2001: Russia Warns US of Suicide Pilots

More than that, Moscow warned Washington about preparation to these actions a couple of weeks before they happened.” Interestingly, the article will claim that at least two of the militants were Muslim radicals from Uzbekistan.

August 2001: Large Passenger Jet Flown and Landed by Remote Control
A Federal Express 727 lands in New Mexico in August 2001. [Source: Associated Press]US company Raytheon flies and lands a Federal Express 727 passenger jet six times on a military base in New Mexico, entirely by remote control and without a pilot on board. This is done to test equipment intended to make hijackings difficult, by allowing ground controllers to take over the flying of a hijacked plane. The Associated Press will later report, “[T]he Raytheon test used technology that provides the extremely precise navigational instructions that would be required for remote control from a secure location.” The Associated Press will observe, “Unmanned, ground controlled reconnaissance aircraft have been used by the military for missions over Iraq and Kosovo,” and will quote Thomas Cassidy, president of the California-based General Atomics Aeronautical Systems and manufacturer of the military aircraft, as saying, “It’s a reliable system.” [Associated Press, 10/2/2001; Der Spiegel (Hamburg), 10/28/2001]
Raytheon Employees on 9/11 Planes - Several Raytheon employees with possible ties to this remote control technology and/or Raytheon’s Global Hawk program will be reported to have been on the hijacked 9/11 flights (see September 25, 2001). Earlier in the year, a specially designed Global Hawk plane flew from the US to Australia without pilots or passengers. [ITN, 4/24/2001]
Others Say Remote Control Is Impossible - Contradicting the Associated Press report, a number of media reports after 9/11 will suggest such technology is impossible, or flatly deny its existence. For instance, The Observer will quote an expert as saying, “the technology is pretty much there,” but is still untried. [Observer, 9/16/2001] An aviation-security expert at Jane’s Defence Weekly will say this type of technology belongs “in the realms of science fiction.” [Financial Times, 9/18/2001; Economist, 9/20/2001] And in late September 2001, President Bush will give a speech in which he mentions that the government would give grants to research “new technology, probably far in the future, allowing air traffic controllers to land distressed planes by remote control.” [New York Times, 9/28/2001]

August 2001: CIA Veteran David Edger Joins University of Oklahoma
David Edger. [Source: Public domain]David Edger, a high-ranking CIA officer who was previously station chief in Berlin, Germany (see May 1997), joins the political science department of the University of Oklahoma at Norman as a visiting scholar.
Appointment Arranged by CIA Director's Mentor - An announcement says that the appointment was arranged by the university’s president David Boren: “David Edger has joined us as a CIA officer in residence. Mr. Edger most recently was stationed at the US Embassy in Berlin as minister-counselor for coordination, where he directed both military and civilian US intelligence programs in Germany. During the two-year assignment, Mr. Edger will teach courses related to the US intelligence community and foreign policy. President David Boren arranged for his participation at OU.” [Newsletter of the Department of Political Science, The University of Oklahoma, 9/2001] David Boren is a former Democratic senator who headed the Senate’s intelligence committee for many years. There, Boren acted as mentor to CIA Director George Tenet, who was a Senate staffer before joining the CIA. They have maintained a close relationship: Boren and Tenet were having breakfast together in Washington on the morning of 9/11 (see (Before 8:46 a.m.) September 11, 2001 and (8:50 a.m.) September 11, 2001).
Involved in Surveillance of Hamburg Cell - Edger’s appointment may have been connected to his previous duties in Germany, where, during the years 1997-2001, he directed CIA surveillance and infiltration attempts against the Hamburg cell of 9/11 hijackers. A 2002 article in a local newspaper makes clear that Edger, or possibly other intelligence officers, had some inside but incomplete foreknowledge of al-Qaeda’s plans: “Up until his appointment with OU six months ago, Edger’s work with the CIA focused on terrorist groups in Germany. One of the three cells he was tracking included some of the people responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. He said although officers knew members of the cell and some of what they were doing, they had no idea that they would meet in London and go to different parts of the US, where they would learn to fly planes to crash into the World Trade Center. ‘In that case, we failed,’ Edger said.” (See February 12, 2002.) [Norman Transcript (Oklahoma), 2/12/2002]
Several 9/11 Links to Oklahoma - Numerous 9/11 figures have connections to Oklahoma, and specifically to OU’s campus in Norman, including Zacarias Moussaoui (see Between February 23, 2001 and June 2001, February 23-June 2001, and July 29, 2001-August 3, 2001), his associate Hussein al-Attas (see August 10-11, 2001), Nick Berg (see Autumn 1999), and lead hijackers Mohamed Atta and Marwan Alshehhi who reportedly sought flight training at the nearby Airman Flight School (see July 2-3, 2000 and August 1, 2001).
Post-9/11 Comments - After 9/11, Edger will make numerous public statements supporting the war on terror and the Iraq War. The Tulsa World will report in October, 2001: “‘Americans are looking for simple assurances, hoping human intelligence can warn of the next attack,’ said Dr. David Edger, a specialist in espionage operations, paramilitary activities and counter-terrorism. ‘Getting that human intelligence is not simple. Great patience is required, and classic spy recruitment does not work in such hostile environments,’ said Edger, who served 39 years in the CIA. ‘The war will last many years, and we will never be sure when it ends,’ Edger predicted.” [Tulsa World (Oklahoma), 10/12/2001; Tulsa World (Oklahoma), 11/9/2001; Tulsa World (Oklahoma), 3/25/2002; Norman Transcript (Oklahoma), 10/11/2006]

August 2001: Persian Gulf Informant Gives Ex-CIA Agent Information About ‘Spectacular Terrorist Operation’
Former CIA agent Robert Baer is advising a prince in a Persian Gulf royal family, when a military associate of this prince passes information to him about a “spectacular terrorist operation” that will take place shortly. He is given a computer record of around 600 secret al-Qaeda operatives in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. The list includes ten names that will be placed on the FBI’s most wanted terrorists list after 9/11. He is also given evidence that a Saudi merchant family had funded the USS Cole bombing on October 12, 2000, and that the Yemeni government is covering up information related to that bombing. At the military officer’s request, he offers all this information to the Saudi Arabian government. However, an aide to the Saudi defense minister, Prince Sultan, refuses to look at the list or to pass the names on (Sultan is later sued for his complicity in the 9/11 plot in August 2002). Baer also passes the information on to a senior CIA official and the CIA’s Counter Terrorism Center, but there is no response or action. Portions of Baer’s book describing his experience wil be blacked out, having been censored by the CIA. [Baer, 2002, pp. 55-58; Financial Times, 1/12/2002]

August 2001: Hijackers Seek Help at Florida Pharmacy; Incident Later Raises Fear of Bioterrorism
Gregg Chatterton. [Source: Bill Ingram / Palm Beach Post]Pharmacist Gregg Chatterton approaches two men—later identified as 9/11 hijackers Mohamed Atta and Marwan Alshehhi—after observing them spending a suspiciously long time in the skin care aisle of his drugstore, Huber Healthmart Drugs in Delray Beach, Florida. “My hands. They’re itching and they’re burning,” says Atta. Chatterton will later recall: “Both [of Atta’s] hands were red from the wrist down. If you filled your sink with bleach and stuck your hands in there for six hours, they would come out red, and that is what they looked like.” Asked the cause of his skin irritation, Atta replies evasively. After recommending a particular lotion, Chatterton is about to turn away when Atta forcefully slaps his hand against the druggist’s chest and says, “My friend, he’s got a cough.” Chatterton gives Alshehhi a bottle of Robitussin. Chatterton will remember the pair when the FBI comes calling a few weeks later. He will say, “When somebody touches you like that, you remember that customer.” According to the St. Petersburg Times, the incident will give rise “to the theory that Atta irritated his hands while handling anthrax” (See also October 14, 2001 and March-April 2002).

August 2001: New York Office of Emergency Management Buys Crisis Management Software that Will Be Used after 9/11
New York City’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) purchases crisis management computer software that it plans to launch for use on September 17, and that will significantly help the city’s response to the 9/11 attacks. [Wall Street Journal, 10/23/2001; Wired News, 11/2/2001] The OEM is intended to improve New York’s response to major incidents, including terrorist attacks, and play a key role in managing the city’s overall response to an incident. [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 283-284] The software it buys, called E Team, is an emergency and event management product created by E Team Inc., a small company based in Canoga Park, California. [Wall Street Journal, 10/23/2001; e-ProWire, 5/22/2002] John Hughes, a vice president of E Team Inc., in fact used to be the deputy director of the New York City OEM. E Team was originally created for use by the military in battlefield coordination, but the software can now be used by public agencies and private companies, to “prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters and emergencies of all types.” [Los Angeles Times, 12/11/2000; California Technology Ventures, 10/16/2001; Wired News, 11/2/2001] It enables officials to coordinate thousands of workers and hundreds of agencies. [Wall Street Journal, 10/23/2001] The OEM plans to install the software on special server computers in its Emergency Operations Center on the 23rd floor of World Trade Center Building 7, and to launch the E Team system on September 17. [Wired News, 11/2/2001; Council of the City of New York, 8/2002, pp. 22 ] But as a result of the terrorist attacks on September 11, the system will instead go into use on September 14, at OEM’s temporary command center at Pier 92 on the Hudson River (see September 14, 2001). [Wall Street Journal, 10/23/2001; e-ProWire, 5/22/2002] Every government organization supporting the OEM command center after 9/11 will use E Team to coordinate its rescue and recovery efforts with the OEM. [California Technology Ventures, 10/16/2001] A report later published by New York City Council’s Select Committee on Technology in Government will say it is ironic that the OEM decides to buy the E Team software in the month before the terrorist attacks in New York take place. The report will comment that the OEM buys the software “in order to better manage precisely the emergency situations that the city faced after 9/11.” [Council of the City of New York, 8/2002, pp. 22 ]

(August 2001): NSA Intercepts Another Call between Yemen Hub and 9/11 Hijackers Alhazmi and Almihdhar in US
The NSA has been intercepting calls between at least two 9/11 hijackers, Nawaf Alhazmi and Khalid Almihdhar, in the US and an al-Qaeda communications hub in Sana’a, Yemen, run by al-Qaeda operative Ahmed al-Hada over an approximately 18-month period before 9/11 (see Early 2000-Summer 2001). According to MSNBC, the final intercepted call comes “only weeks” before 9/11. [MSNBC, 7/21/2004] Around the same time there is great alarm in the US intelligence community over a communications intercept in Yemen indicating there was going to be a major al-Qaeda attack against US interests (see June 30-July 1, 2001). Further, the investigation of the USS Cole bombing has reignited interest in Almihdhar and Alhazmi on the part of the US intelligence community since at least June 2001 (see June 11, 2001 and July 13, 2001). The two of them are placed on an international no-fly list in late August (see August 23, 2001).

August-October 2001: Britain Seeks Indian Assistance in Catching Saeed Sheikh
British intelligence asks India for legal assistance in catching Saeed Sheikh sometime during August 2001. Saeed has been openly living in Pakistan since 1999 and has even traveled to Britain at least twice during that time, despite having kidnapped Britons and Americans in 1993 and 1994. [London Times, 4/21/2002; Vanity Fair, 8/2002] According to the Indian media, informants in Germany tell the internal security service there that Saeed helped fund hijacker Mohamed Atta. [Frontline, 10/13/2001] On September 23, it is revealed, without explanation, that the British have asked India for help in finding Saeed. [London Times, 9/23/2001] Saeed Sheikh’s role in training the hijackers and financing the 9/11 attacks soon becomes public knowledge, though some elements are disputed. [Daily Telegraph, 9/30/2001; CNN, 10/6/2001; CNN, 10/8/2001] The Gulf News claims that the US freezes the assets of Pakistani militant group Jaish-e-Mohammed on October 12, 2001, because it has established links between Saeed Sheikh and 9/11. [Gulf News, 10/11/2001] However, in October, an Indian magazine notes, “Curiously, there seems to have been little international pressure on Pakistan to hand [Saeed] over” [Frontline, 10/13/2001] , and the US does not formally ask Pakistan for help to find Saeed until January 2002.

Early August 2001: Moussaoui Calls Member of Al-Qaeda’s Hamburg Cell; Leaves Phone Number in His Possessions
At some time in August 2001, Zacarias Moussaoui calls Naamen Meziche, who is an apparent member of the al-Qaeda cell in Hamburg, Germany, with a few of the future 9/11 hijackers. Moussaoui is in the US and will be arrested and imprisoned on August 16 (see August 16, 2001). Although it is not specified in news reports, presumably Moussaoui makes the call before his arrest, while he still is able to make calls. Meziche’s phone number is written on a piece of paper among Moussaoui’s belongings. FBI officials will not be allowed to search Moussaoui’s possessions until after 9/11. Presumably, if they had been able to, the call and phone number could have helped point investigators to the Hamburg cell and hijackers. Meziche is the son-in-law of Mohammed Fazazi, the radical imam of the Al-Quds mosque in Hamburg, Germany, regularly attended by three of the 9/11 hijackers (see 1993-Late 2001). He is also said to be a friend of hijacker Mohamed Atta. Meziche’s role in the Hamburg cell will only emerge after he is killed in a US drone strike in Pakistan in 2010 (see October 5, 2010). [Wall Street Journal, 10/16/2010] Before 9/11, German investigators are monitoring some members of the Hamburg cell (see for instance November 1, 1998-February 2001). Had that investigation widened to include Meziche, the call from Moussaoui could have been detected and changed the investigation of Moussaoui in the US.

Early August 2001: Alleged Informant with 9/11 Foreknowledge Arrested in Turkey and Let Go
Al-Qaeda operative Luai Sakra is reportedly arrested by Turkish intelligence in Turkey and then let go. It will later appear that Sakra was an informant for the CIA, Turkish intelligence, and Syrian intelligence before 9/11. He appears to have begun working for the CIA and Turkish intelligence in 2000 (see 2000). Sakra will later claim to have been arrested and quickly released twice by Turkish intelligence. It seems the first time was in 2000 and this was the second time. [Der Spiegel (Hamburg), 8/24/2005] It would make sense that he was released at this time if he was a secret informant for Turkey. It will later come to light that Sakra had some foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks and warned Syrian intelligence about them one day before the attacks (see September 10, 2001). But it is not known if he used this arrest to warn Turkish intelligence and/or the CIA as well.

Early August 2001: San Diego Imam to 9/11 Hijackers Seems to Show Foreknowledge of 9/11 Attacks
A neighbor of Anwar al-Awlaki, an imam who had frequent contact with future 9/11 hijackers Nawaf Alhazmi, Khalid Almihdhar, and Hani Hanjour in San Diego and/or Virginia (see March 2001 and After), will later claim that, in the first week of August 2001, al-Awlaki knocks on his door and tells him he is leaving for Kuwait. “He came over before he left and told me that something very big was going to happen, and that he had to be out of the country when it happened,” the neighbor says. [Newsweek, 7/28/2003] The neighbor, Lincoln W. Higgie, lives in San Diego, California, and has long been friendly with al-Awlaki. Al-Awlaki had already moved to Virginia earlier in the year (see March 2001 and After), but apparently he is briefly stopping by San Diego. Higgie will later recall that he tells al-Awlaki to visit if he is ever in the area. Al-Awlaki replies: “I don’t think you’ll be seeing me. I won’t be coming back to San Diego again. Later on you’ll find out why.” [New York Times, 5/8/2010]

Early August 2001: Government Informant Warns Congressmen of Plan to Attack the WTC
Randy Glass. [Source: Banded Artists Productions]Randy Glass, a former con artist turned government informant, will later claim that he contacts the staff of Senator Bob Graham (D-NY) and Representative Robert Wexler (D-FL) at this time, and warns them of a plan to attack the World Trade Center, but his warnings are ignored. [Palm Beach Post, 10/17/2002] Glass also tells the media at the present time that his recently concluded informant work has “far greater ramifications than have so far been revealed,” and, “potentially, thousands of lives [are] at risk.” [South Florida Sun-Sentinel, 8/7/2001] Glass was a key informant in a sting operation involving Pakistani ISI agents who were illegally trying to purchase sophisticated US military weaponry in return for cash and heroin. He will claim that in July 1999, one ISI agent named Rajaa Gulum Abbas pointed to the WTC and said, “Those towers are coming down.” [Palm Beach Post, 10/17/2002] Most details will apparently remain sealed. For instance Glass will claim that his sealed sentencing document dated June 15, 2001, lists threats against the WTC and Americans but, according to Glass, “[t]he complaints were ordered sanitized by the highest levels of government.” [WPBF 25 (West Palm Beach), 8/5/2002] Florida State Senator Ron Klein, who has dealings with Glass before 9/11, will say he is surprised it took so many months for the US to listen to Glass. “Shame on us,” he will say. [Palm Beach Post, 10/17/2002] Klein will recall getting a warning from Glass, though he cannot recall if it mentions the WTC specifically. He will say he was told US intelligence agencies would look into it. [WPTV 5 (West Palm Beach), 10/7/2002] Graham will later acknowledge that his office has contact with Glass before 9/11, and is told about a WTC attack, saying, “I was concerned about that and a dozen other pieces of information which emanated from the summer of 2001.” However, Graham will say that he personally is unaware of Glass’s information until after 9/11. [Palm Beach Post, 10/17/2002] In October 2002, Glass will testify under oath before a private session of the 9/11 Congressional Inquiry, and tell it that he has “specific evidence, and I can document it.” [Palm Beach Post, 10/17/2002]

Early August 2001: CIA’s Concern over Planned Bin Laden Strikes inside US Are Heightened
The CIA has “developed general information a month before the [9/11] attacks that heightened concerns that Osama bin Laden and his followers were increasingly determined to strike on US soil,” the Associated Press will later report. A CIA official will affirm, “There was something specific in early August that said to us that [bin Laden] was determined in striking on US soil.” [Associated Press, 10/3/2001] Further details about this information will remain unknown. However, the October 2001 article mentioning it could be describing an early, incomplete account of the CIA-produced Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB) entitled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US” from August 6, 2001 (see August 6, 2001). The full title of that PDB will be made public in May 2002 (see May 15, 2002), and the full text of it will be made public in April 2004 (see April 11, 2004).

Early August 2001: Saeed Sheikh Receives Ransom Money; Sends $100,000 to Hijacker Atta
The ransom for a wealthy Indian shoe manufacturer kidnapped in Calcutta, India, two weeks earlier is paid to an Indian gangster named Aftab Ansari. Ansari is based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and has ties to the Pakistani ISI and Saeed Sheikh. Ansari gives some of the about $830,000 in ransom money to Saeed, who sends about $100,000 of it to future 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta. [Los Angeles Times, 1/23/2002; Independent, 1/24/2002] The Times of India will later report that Lieutenant General Mahmood Ahmed, the director of the ISI, instructed Saeed to transfer the $100,000 into Atta’s bank account. This is according to “senior government sources,” who will claim that the FBI has privately confirmed the story. [Times of India, 10/9/2001] According to some accounts, the money is moved through a charity, the Al Rashid Trust. Some of the money is also channelled to the Taliban, as well as Pakistani and Kashmiri militant groups. [NewsInsight, 1/4/2002; Press Trust of India, 4/3/2002] The money is apparently paid into two of Atta’s accounts in Florida (see Summer 2001 and before). The Al Rashid Trust will be one of the first al-Qaeda funding vehicles to have its assets frozen after 9/11 (see September 24, 2001). A series of recovered e-mails will show the money is sent just after August 11. This appears to be one of a series of Indian kidnappings this gang carries out in 2001. [India Today, 2/14/2002; Times of India, 2/14/2002] Saeed provides training and weapons to the kidnappers in return for a percentage of the profits. [Frontline (Chennai), 2/2/2002; India Today, 2/25/2002] This account will frequently be mentioned in the Indian press, but will appear in the US media as well. For instance, veteran Associated Press reporter Kathy Gannon will write, “Western intelligence sources believe Saeed sent $100,000 to Mohamed Atta, the suspected ringleader of the Sept. 11 terrorist hijackings,” although they apparently think the hawala system was used for this. [Associated Press, 2/9/2002] Some evidence suggests Saeed may also have sent Atta a similar amount in 2000 (see (July-August 2000) and Summer 2000).

Early August-August 22, 2001: 9/11 Paymaster Skims Money for Hijackers?
An unnamed Sudanese national living in Saudi Arabia makes two wire transfers totaling about $6,500 from the National Commercial Bank in Saudi Arabia to 9/11 plot facilitator Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi’s Standard Chartered Bank account in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The 9/11 Commission will later report that a “foreign security agency” learned from the sender that he had been asked to wire the funds by Uthman Alshehri, a brother of hijackers Waleed and Wail Alshehri. According to the commission, $4,900 of this is deposited in a UAE account of hijacker Fayez Ahmed Banihammad. What happens to the other $1,600 is unclear. [9/11 Commission, 8/21/2004, pp. 138, 143 ] After the money is deposited in his UAE account, Banihammad receives a call from an associate in Germany on August 18 and withdraws $3,000 on August 20 and $4,800 on August 22 from the account. [US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division, 6/2002 ; US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division, 7/31/2006 ] Court documents suggest that more money was sent to the hijackers by al-Hawsawi. “[Khalid] Shaikh Mohammed (KSM) explained that Alshehhi was sent $81,000 (US) via al-Baluchi for Alshehhi’s, Atta’s, and Jarrah’s flight training… Most of these types of transfers were made by al-Hawsawi who was located in the UAE.” However, doubts have been expressed about the reliability of this document, which was based on KSM’s testimony, obtained through the use of torture (see June 16, 2004). [US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, 7/31/2006 ] For some time after 9/11, Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi is described in the media as the hijackers’ paymaster, even though this is the only confirmed transfer associated with him. Moreover, there are questions about his identity and whether or not “Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi” is his real name. [CNN, 3/4/2003]

August 1, 2001: FBI Reissues Warning that Overseas Law Enforcement Agencies May Be Targets
With the approaching third anniversary of the US embassy bombings in Africa (see 10:35-10:39 a.m., August 7, 1998), the FBI reissues a warning that overseas law enforcement agencies may be targets. It notes that although most reporting indicates a potential for attacks on US interests abroad, the possibility of an attack in the US cannot be discounted.

August 1, 2001: 9/11 Hijacker Fails in Test to Get in Airplane Cockpit During Flight
Abdulaziz Alomari. [Source: FBI]9/11 hijacker Abdulaziz Alomari tests airline security while flying across the US. He boards USAir flight 608 from Las Vegas to New York City. Before the flight takes off, he tells a flight attendant that he is a pilot and wants to sit in the jumpseat (a spare seat in the cockpit) to observe the pilots for the whole flight. When asked for his pilot credentials, he says he is just a student pilot. Alomari is allowed in the cockpit, but only for a short while before take-off. The pilots get the impression he doesn’t know much about flying. Half way through the flight, he tries to get back into the cockpit by claiming that he’d lost a valuable pen while in there earlier, but he is not allowed back in. [Miller, Stone, and Mitchell, 2002, pp. 296-297] Although this story is not confirmed by other sources, several of the hijackers do fly to and from Las Vegas at this time (see May 24-August 14, 2001 and August 1, 2001). Apparently the hijackers repeatedly attempt to ride on jumpseats in the summer of 2001 and are sometimes successful, sometimes not (see Summer 2001). Some news stories after 9/11 will allege that the hijackers did use jumpseats on 9/11 (see November 23, 2001).

Early August 2001: Counterterrorism ‘Tsar’ Clarke Investigates Security Protecting Wall Street Telecommunications
Paul Kurtz. [Source: Publicity photo]Counterterrorism “tsar” Richard Clarke and Paul Kurtz, a member of the White House counterterrorism team, visit New York, where they tour the facilities of the stock exchange and telecommunications company Verizon, and inquire about security precautions there. Clarke will later describe that, about a month before 9/11, he and Kurtz spend “two days literally crawling around Wall Street.” They visit the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and also go through the tunnels that carry the fiber optic cable to the Verizon and AT&T switches. (Verizon has a switching center for Wall Street located next to the World Trade Center.) Clarke and Kurtz ask about the security precautions that are in place to protect such a large concentration of critical communications equipment. According to Clarke, “What they told us was that after the 1993 attack against the World Trade Center they had diversified some of their routing capability.” Clarke will recall that he and Kurtz identify “several buildings that, were they taken out, would disconnect Wall Street from the world.” The two men also talk to stock market officials about the need for alternative sites and backup facilities. [Verton, 2003, pp. 157; Clarke, 2004, pp. 19-20]
Infrastructure Examined by Clarke Damaged on 9/11 - On September 11, damage to some of the telecommunications infrastructure Clarke and Kurtz inspect will severely hamper communications in the area surrounding the WTC, including the financial district (see (After 10:00 a.m.) September 11, 2001). The New York Times will describe: “The collapse of the World Trade Center crippled many of the connections that downtown Manhattan depended on, threatening crucial links for the police and emergency crews. Cellular sites were knocked out.… Fiber-optic transport equipment was crushed. Power failures cut off high-speed Internet service for many companies across the city.” Verizon’s switching center at 140 West Street will be badly damaged by falling debris and burst water pipes. AT&T officials will say “they are certain that they lost several pieces of sophisticated equipment in the basement of the World Trade Center that were used to transport data over fiber-optic cables.” [New York Times, 9/20/2001; General Accounting Office, 2/2003, pp. 91-92 ; Jenkins and Edwards-Winslow, 9/2003, pp. 33 ; 9/11 Commission, 2/25/2004 ] As journalist and author Dan Verton will note, “For Richard Clarke, the digital destruction that severed Wall Street from the world [on September 11] was a nightmare come true.” [Verton, 2003, pp. 157]

August 1, 2001: Moussaoui Supposedly Seen with Hijackers Atta and Alshehhi in Oklahoma
A hotel owner in Oklahoma City will later say that he sees Zacarias Moussaoui, Mohamed Atta, and Marwan Alshehhi together on or around this day. He will claim they come to his hotel late at night and ask for a room, but end up staying elsewhere. At the time, Moussaoui is living 28 miles away in Norman, Oklahoma (see February 23-June 2001). However, even though the US government will later struggle to find evidence directly connecting Moussaoui to any of the 9/11 hijackers, this account will not be cited by any US government officials or prosecutors. An article will later suggest this may be because of numerous reports and eyewitnesses claiming Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols stayed at the same hotel with a group of Middle Easterners in the weeks before the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing (see 8:35 a.m. - 9:02 a.m. April 19, 1995). By highlighting this encounter, it might draw renewed attention to controversial Oklahoma City bombing theories. Atta and Alshehhi briefly visited an Oklahoma flight school in July 2000 (see July 2-3, 2000), before Moussaoui arrived in the US. On April 1, 2001, 9/11 hijacker Nawaf Alhazmi received a speeding ticket in Oklahoma (see April 1, 2001), but there have been no sightings of him with Moussaoui. [LA Weekly, 8/2/2002]
Link to Oklahoma City Bombing? - Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson will say of this meeting: “One of the things that’s evident right now in connection with this investigation, the motel in Oklahoma City where the April bombing against the Murrah building was planned and executed from, that same hotel figures in two of the 9/11 hijackers and Zacarias Moussaoui, who’s currently in jail. Those three guys tried to check into that motel. And there is another fellow in Oklahoma City that links them to the April bombing against the Murrah building.… I have spoken to the owner of the motel. After the 9/11 attack, he called the FBI. The FBI came out and interviewed him, as he identified Mohamed Atta, Marwan Alshehhi, and Zacarias Moussaoui. They came in. They said, ‘We’re looking for a room.’ He said: ‘I don’t have any room. What do you need it for?’ They said, ‘We’re going for flight training.’” [O'Reilly Factor, 5/7/2002]
Intriguingly Similar Sightings Nearby - Years later, a 2002 FBI document will be made public that reveals several employees at a flight school in Bethany, Oklahoma, saw Atta, Alshehhi, and hijacker Waleed Alshehri flying small aircraft several times from early 2001 until August 2001. Additionally, Moussaoui was said to use the same airport, although there will be no mentioned sightings of him with the others. Bethany is about five miles from Highway 40, which is where the hotel mentioned above is near. Additionally, the hotel is about 28 miles from Norman, Oklahoma (where Moussaoui is living) and Bethany is about 33 miles from Norman (see Early 2001-August 2001).

August 2001: Marines’ Terrorism Response Unit Holds an Exercise with the New York Fire Department and Discusses the 1993 WTC Attack
Members of the Chemical Biological Incident Response Force. [Source: Daniel Wetzel / US Marine Corps]Members of the US Marine Corps’ Chemical Biological Incident Response Force (CBIRF) participate in a major training exercise with the New York Fire Department (FDNY) sometime this month. During the exercise, the FDNY’s response to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing (see February 26, 1993) is discussed, according to Colonel Thomas Hammes, commanding officer of the CBIRF. Further details of the exercise are unstated. The CBIRF was established by the Marine Corps in 1996 in order to support first responders during attacks involving chemical or biological weapons. [Lerner and Lerner, 2003, pp. 176; Hammes, 2004, pp. xii] It has around 370 members and is capable of deploying rapidly to anywhere in the world if there is an attack involving weapons of mass destruction or if a chemical, biological, or nuclear agent is released. [Washington Post, 1/8/2000; US Marine Corps, 7/21/2000] The unit has a history with the FDNY going back to when it was founded in 1996. FDNY Deputy Chief Ray Downey in fact helped develop its original training. [US Marine Corps, 4/23/2010] It moved from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, to the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Indian Head, Maryland, in the summer of 2000. [US Department of Defense, 7/2001, pp. 125 ] The move, it was reported at the time, would “place CBIRF closer to Washington, DC, and New York City,” thereby “reducing response time to crucial national locations.” [US Marine Corps, 7/21/2000] On September 11, the CBIRF’s immediate response force will prepare to respond to the attacks in New York and at the Pentagon, if needed. The unit will not be deployed, though, and will instead be held in reserve in case there is a weapons of mass destruction attack in the Washington area. [Hammes, 2004, pp. xii-xiii]

Jane Addams and the News Babies of Chicago
In the early twentieth century, newsboys were a characteristic of the urban landscape, a ubiquitous presence on big city street corners across America. Boys and girls as young as five or six peddled penny and two-penny papers in the wee morning hours, during the school day, and long, long, long after dark. On muggy and sunny summer days and on blustery winter nights, children sold the news and collected their pennies. In 1900, there were ten major, general-circulation newspapers in Chicago and dozens more specialty publications, as well; and at least 4,000 newsboys and newgirls sold them from established newsstands, from pull carts advertised with newspaper mastheads, from makeshift box displays, and from right out from under their own little arms. The exuberant voice of the newspaper crier, which cut above the chaotic din of the bustling Chicago streets, was more often than not the voice of a child.
And where there was the voice of a child on the streets of Chicago, there was, of course, Jane Addams. In a number of speeches in the early 1900s, Addams argued that “something should be done to take the babies from the streets.” Through her work at Hull-House, Addams witnessed firsthand the dangers faced by children who earned a living on the urban streets. Popular culture has romanticized the newsboy as a “saucy, chattering” chap, whose smudged, little face and crooked Gatsby-hat belied street smarts and worldliness that made him wise beyond his years. Yet Addams would never have succumbed to such romance, for her experiences had shown her otherwise. So while Chicago’s newsboys raised their voices to sell Chicagoans the news, Jane Addams raised her voice to protect them.
Many programs at Hull-House kept children off the streets, maybe even keeping some from resorting to the sale of the evening news. Addams spent a lifetime lobbying for child labor laws, and her hard-hitting articles and widely attended speeches raised public awareness about the difficulties of life for poor children, particularly those of Chicago’s immigrant families. But as was the way of the world in the Progressive Era, many children in the inner city had few choices; and for some, the freedom of movement and money in pockets made selling the news quite an alluring prospect. There were a few newsboys who made $3-5 dollars a day. One small Italian boy named Antonio, who operated two stands on the corner of Clark and Monroe streets, sold 1,000 newspapers a day. The thirteen-year-old Antonio had inherited the prime location from his father, and he benefited from a corner monopoly at a very lucrative location. Antonio was one of the lucky ones, however. Most newsboys were fortunate to take in a fraction of Antonio’s income, as typical pay was just 50 cents per 100 penny papers sold each day; and most did not have the luxury to stand still in one spot and sell such a large quantity of papers. Instead, they lugged heavy, wheeled carts, toted bulky satchels, or secured their product under their arms, as they searched the streets for customers. And it was those roaming newsboys who were, of course, most vulnerable to the dangers and temptations of the city.
Children selling papers at rush hour, at dark, in terrible weather, and without protective supervision faced many perils. In June 1903, Cornelius Scanlan, a twelve-year-old newsboy was selling papers to street car travelers on 47th street when he was hit and killed by a northbound train. Many newsboys were orphans or from poor families and were inadequately attired for Midwestern rains and for Lake Michigan cold. One newsboy named Peter was found sleeping in News Alley at 2 a.m. on one of the coldest days of the winter. He claimed to be an orphan who came to Chicago from Milwaukee. Weather was a constant problem for those who worked and lived out of doors. Newsboys were also frequently the victims of crime. William Cullen was a blind newsboy who was “a familiar figure” at Blue Island Avenue and Twelfth Street. He sold newspapers from a small wagon and with the protection of a dog, but one night as he slept two men stole his newspaper stand, jeopardizing his means of subsistence.
Particularly troubling was the potential for sexual assault. The Chicago police collected evidence on one adult news dealer who had a prosperous corner on Halsted Street. He made eight boys who worked for him come to his room to receive their pay “and there committed violence” on each, most under the age of 14. One-third of the newsboys sent to one reform school in Chicago had venereal disease, an unfortunate reality for many kids who risked life and health on the streets. Of course, even those who were not abused suffered lung ailments and other sicknesses that went untreated; and if they became too unwell to sell papers, they lost income, as well. Sadly, too, adults who should have protected them were often the perpetrators of mistreatment. Many parents, some desperate themselves, pressed these children into the newsboy “economy.” Police officers were sometimes guilty of harassment, as some in Chicago took payoffs from newspaper companies to guarantee particularly lucrative corners, muscling away newsboys who “trespassed” upon those monopolies, and even arresting others for loitering.
In 1902, a group of some 200 newsboys organized the Chicago Newsboys’ Protective Association. This union tried to mediate the conditions of newsboy employment with newspaper publishers, to lobby for better conditions, and to help members who were sick or injured. Strides were minimal, and the streets were no less dangerous. As well, newspapers in this era had multiple editions, and papers were published at morning, at noon, and at night. As such, days for newsboys were often long; and truancy from school was a common problem. Working on the streets also exposed newsboys to the temptations of gambling, smoking, and other vices that resulted from a vagrant lifestyle. Some of these kids were runaways. Edward Fink, a twelve-year-old from South Bend, Indiana, took $30 from his mother and traveled to Chicago on a freight train. He was selling papers on the streets of Chicago and living with other newsboys when he was arrested and returned to his parents. Another boy, a sixteen-year-old from Texas moved to Chicago to work as a newsboy because black newsboys were not allowed in his town. But when he arrived in South Chicago, police arrested him for vagrancy.
In 1903, Jane Addams was part of a two-day investigation into the lives of newsboys in Chicago. Commissioned at the behest of the Federation of Chicago Settlements, a committee of twenty investigators hit the streets to interview 1,000 newsboys (including 20 newsgirls) in Chicago’s “Loop.” They reported that “while favorable to the legitimate features of the newspaper industry” their investigation confirmed their “impression that Chicago needs a city ordinance which would obviate many of the abuses now apparent in the news trade.” The committee printed a 28-page, illustrated pamphlet, which outlined the work and social conditions of the children who sold newspapers and offered proposals for child labor laws to protect them. The investigation in Chicago reported that the newsboys they interviewed had ranged in age from 5-22 and that 127 of them (12%) were under the age of 10. Among the number, Italian, German, Irish, and Jewish immigrants were numerous. The investigators turned up one five-year-old child and five other kids who were just six. The report noted that “the small boy, under ten years of age, is on the ragged edge of the newspaper business.” No doubt, younger newsboys faced the most hardships and dangers, too.
The pamphlet garnered some attention, but six years later Addams was frustrated. In a speech in March 1909 about children and street trading, she complained that newsboys had fallen in the category of “merchant” and were not subject to child labor regulations. Addams was annoyed that even as Illinois had enacted a child labor law, which should have limited the working hours of all children and protected them from harsh labor conditions, it did not apply to Chicago’s newsboys. “So far, we have been unable to secure any legislative action on the subject,” she lamented. “It is a very disgraceful situation, I think, for Chicago to be placed in while the Illinois child labor law is so good. The City of Chicago is a little careless, if not recreant, towards the children who are not reached by the operation of the state law.” And so, Jane Addams’ battle for the safety and wellbeing of all children would continue.
The remarkable, illustrated pamphlet that Jane Addams and her group published is now a part of the Jane Addams Digital Edition, where you can read the document in its entirety. You will also, no doubt, enjoy the poignant photos of real newsboys and newsgirls who worked on the gritty streets of early twentieth-century Chicago.

Quit Clowning Around
Charles Cramer, alias Conway, the clown
with a wooden leg, in a postcard photo with his
wife, circa 1911 (Mysterious Chicago)
“Clowns Gathering in the Woods,” blares CNN. “Creepy Clowns: Serious Matter or Sick Joke,” asks The Guardian. It all started in South Carolina, where groups of children swore that clowns, lurking in the shadowy woods, and attempted to lure them to an abandoned house deep within the forest. Police could not find any clown paraphernalia at the scene, but that did not stop another group of children from seeing a shady clown just one week later on the other side of town. Once again, police could not find any hard evidence of red noses, water-squirting flowers, or tiny cars that can somehow fit ten people inside.
Americans chuckled to themselves, “Oh those South Carolinians are too much!” Then the clowns went national. They started showing up all along the East coast, from Florida to Maine. Then, in some sort of clown-manifest-destiny, the clowns traveled West to Texas, Colorado, Utah, and eventually were found scaring fish and surfers in California. It is not known if any clowns have swam across the Pacific to haunt Hawaii.
Scary clowns are not unique to the fall of 2016. Oh no. As I was reading through old newspapers from 1912 Chicago in an attempt to find out more information about a specific correspondent, I stumbled across an incredible byline on the adjacent page. It was about a murderous clown, living in Chicago not far from Hull-House, where Jane Addams was busy toiling away, and his vaudeville singer wife who plotted the downfall of their wealthy roommate.
In early October, 1912, a Baltimore heiress named Sophie Singer came to Chicago with her fiance, Will Worthen. They were met at the station by a “Mrs. Conway” who suggested that they all get a flat together instead of a hotel. “Mrs. Conway” was really Mrs. Louisa Cramer, wife of Charles N. Cramer (alias Charles Kramer, alias Charles Conway). The couple was part of a traveling circus, he as a human cannonball and a clown, and she as a singer and a lion tamer. Oh, and he had a wooden leg, too.
The three moved in together, and were shortly joined by Mr. Cramer. The Cramers, under the alias of the Conways, were dirt poor and only lived off the wealth of their heiress roommate and her well-to-do fiance. All was well until Ms. Singer decided that she would move back to Baltimore, leaving the Conways with no well of money to draw from. This did not sit well with the carny couple, and one night while Mr. Worthen was away gambling, the one legged clown made his move.
Worthen came back to find the key-hole stuffed. Breaking down the door, he found Sophie’s tangled legs sticking out from under their bed. She had clearly been strangled to death; her hands were tied with thin wire and Cramer’s handkerchief was shoved so deep into her throat that police needed pincers to remove it. Her jewelry had been stolen.
A sketch of Sophie Singer, Beatrice Conway, and Charles Conway (1912)
Several months later the Cramers were caught in Lima, Ohio. Mrs. Cramer quickly confessed and threw her husband under the bus as well. Charles would eventually confess as well, though he insisted that his wife had nothing to do with the murder.
During the arrest and subsequent trial Cramer the Clown decided to lighten things up with a couple jokes. “Say, Captain?” he asked during the trial. “Do you know that in this case you can’t hang a man with a wooden leg?” When the Captain said he’d never heard of a law like that, Cramer said “You have to use a rope!” Ba Dum Cha!
Charles was sentenced to life in prison, and only narrowly avoided the gallows. As he was led away, he vowed that he would “get out of this,” and twelve years later he made good on his promise. In 1925, despite his assumed lack of running ability owed to that wooden stump on his left side, Cramer ran away from a work farm in Joliet, Illinois. He was never seen or heard from again.
The next time you hear about a clown sighting in your neighborhood, you may want to exercise extra caution. Who knows? Maybe its Conway the Clown, 100 years old and still chasing people with his stump leg.

DEMETER BALLA
Born 4 May 1931 in the countryside surrounding Szentes. He began his studies in Szentes, later continuing them in Kunszentmárton and Budapest. He obtained electrician training, and he found employment in a Budapest factory. He began to engage in photography in 1951 as an autodidact – he acquired both theoretical and practical knowledge on his own. In 1957, he obtained his certificate as a trained photographer, and in the same year, he began to work at the Photography Enterprise of the Capital (Fővárosi Fotó Vállalat).
His photographs soon got attention, and won awards (1957: VIT Award, 1964: EFIAP Award, 1973: Pravda Award, 1977: Balázs Béla Award) – and from here on, he regularly worked for picture magazines and book publishers. From 1969, he worked in the editorial offices of the Magazine Publishing House (Lapkiadó Vállalat), and retired from Ádám Magazine in 1988. Since then, he has lived exclusively from creative work.
His photographic activity demonstrates diversity in genres: portraits, photojournalism, landscapes, still lives, nudes. His literary and artistic compositions are regularly published.
Writings on his work and interviews have been published in many countries of the world.
He is member of numerous professional organisations. Due to undeserving professional attacks, in 1988 he resigned his membership in the Association of Hungarian Photographic Artists – of which he was a member since 1957.
On 18 March 1999, he founded the Demeter Award for those who selflessly act for Hungarian photographic art. The award is given annually – the first, on his 70th birthday, on 4 May 2001, was given to photo-museologist Károly Kincses.
It would be too much to list his honours: among others, he received the Lifetime Award of the Association of Hungarian Photographic Artists, the Award for Hungarian Art, and in 2004 the Kossuth Prize.
Since 2007, he has been intellectual patron of the Látszótér photographic and radio community organised on the internet; with his advice and experience, he aids the work there.
He has had more than fifty solo exhibitions in countless countries of the world; among the most important: Faces and Homes, En Route, The Anatomy of Movement, Let it Be Your Will, Bagatelles, Pictures of the Titanic.
His works are found in Hungarian public collections (Hungarian Museum of Photography, the Historical Photography Collection of the Hungarian National Museum, the National Széchényi Library, Petőfi Literary Museum, the Budapest Collection of the Szabó Ervin Library of the Capital, Körmendi-Csák 20th Century Collection of Hungarian Photography), and in private collections, as well as in galleries abroad and archives.
He is an inescapable and determining personality and author of 20th century Hungarian photography.

Rafael Palomo: the bird photographer
Rafael will always remember how he found his passion for nature and, in particular, bird-watching: “I remember when I got my first binoculars,how much I enjoyed watching animals much more closely, and their behavior. I think it’s something that I will always like to do…”
The hours he has spent following this passion have lead him to have some one-of-a-kind experiences with the animals he photographs. “I became ‘friends’ with a fox, if you can call it that,” he laughs. He tells us how he gained the fox’s trust over repeated visits, and when he arrived in his car the animal came up to greet him. But the story doesn’t end there. “It turned out that the fox was a female and, one day, she took me to her lair where there were five cubs. She even let me photograph them.”
What started out as a mere hobby lead him to join the Spanish Ornithological Society (SEO/BirdLife). Thanks to his knowledge on fauna, he advised Repsol on projects to be carried out in the surroundings of the Puertollano Industrial Facility.
The bird loft: a refuge for birds
Rafael takes us to his favorite place in the Puertollano facility, the bird loft. In this space, an old industrial plant has been converted into a refuge for local birdlife.
Palomo tells us that when the plant was decommissioned, the birds moved in and, when Repsol decided to dismantle the facility, they asked him for advice on how to create a habitat for these birds that had made the facility their “home sweet home.”
This is now the bird loft. Repsol decided to create a refuge for these birds in 2005 and, today, storks and lesser kestrels live alongside the workers at the Facility.
The Ojailén River: an unexpected oasis full of life
“I have been working at Repsol for 31 years, and the truth is that I have been lucky to be able to combine my working life with my hobby,” Rafael tells us.
It was thanks to Repsol’s support that Rafael was able to produce the book and documentary Río Ojailén, which he considers to be one of his greatest achievements. In this project, he photographed the flora and fauna found in this oasis of life in the middle of La Mancha.
A large portion of the River’s water flow comes from the Puertollano Industrial Facility. The refinery’s treatment process is exhaustive and carefully controlled. This means that the water entering the river is of optimal quality and has created a refuge for flora and fauna in the area, especially in summer when it is the only water point within several miles.
One day, Rafael joined the environmental team of the Puertollano Industrial Facility in their routine water quality checks. He was very surprised to see the large variety of fauna in the river seeing as water is scarce in this area, and he didn’t expect to see so much life. “I wasn’t expecting to see so much life there…the barbels were swimming upstream to lay their eggs, the kingfisher in quick flight, the herons, the cormorants…”
This inspired him to make a book and a documentary to let people know about the habitat that was just a few miles away. When Rafael suggested immortalizing the ecological richness of the Ojailén River, Repsol decided to support this initiative by providing the resources he needed to carry out the project.
Nevertheless, if Rafael is proud of something, it’s of having helped build his colleagues’ awareness of the need to look after the surrounding environment through these projects: “Almost all of my colleagues know me as the ‘bird photographer’ and, well, I’m glad that my passion and all these projects have helped make us all a bit more aware of our surrounding environment.”

Safai Launches Campaign for San Francisco Board of Supervisors
San Francisco, CA – With over 200 friends and supporters in attendance, Ahsha Safai formally kicked off his much-anticipated campaign for San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors on July 20, 2008. A community activist and former mayoral aide, Safai is seeking to replace District 11 Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval, whose term expires in January of 2009.
A first generation American of Iranian descent, Safai was born in Iran in 1973. “My first name, Ahsha, is actually a blend of my father’s name, Ata Safai, and mother’s name, Marsha McDonald,” Safai explains. At the age of five, Safai moved with his mother to Cambridge, Massachusetts. He received his bachelor’s degree in African American Studies and Political Science from North Eastern University and his master’s degree in Urban Studies and City Planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
A strong believer in public service and community involvement, Safai has extensive experience working at all levels of government – federal, state, and local. His calling in public service began while attending college and working as an aide to Cambridge City Councilor William Walsh. Later, he moved on to work in the Massachusetts Legislature. In 1995, Safai accepted a position with the Clinton Administration as an assistant to the Deputy Director of Intergovernmental Affairs & Liaison to Native Americans.
After graduating from MIT, Safai moved to San Francisco, taking a position with the city’s Housing Authority. In 2003, he joined Gavin Newsom's campaign for Mayor and later served as the Deputy Director for the Mayor’s Office of Community Development and in the San Francisco Department of Public Works. Safai’s many accomplishments include spearheading a project to build a community youth center, championing legislation to help immigrant families remain in public housing, and directing over $25 million in federal grants towards low-to moderate-income communities and overall neighborhood revitalization.
Since moving to San Francisco, Safai has encouraged Iranian Americans to get involved in local politics and pursue a career in public service. As a field operator for Newsom’s first mayoral campaign, Safai organized a meeting between Iranian Americans and the candidate. “We had a turn out of 150 Iranian Americans,” said Safai. “As a result, the Mayor continues to meet with our community at least once a year.”
Safai believes that real change begins at the local level. He views public safety, education, and concerns over matters such as garbage clean up and parking as the key issues affecting the 11th District of San Francisco. Safai is determined to improve the quality of life for working families in District 11 and would like to see a significant increase in city services for his district.
“I will no longer allow District 11 to be the forgotten district of San Francisco,” Safai said at his campaign kick-off rally. “As Supervisor, I will fight for our fair share of resources in combating crime, improving our schools, and cleaning up our parks and streets.”
Safai has amassed an impressive list of endorsements, including Mayor Newsom. If successful, he will become the second Iranian American elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, possibly serving along side District 5 Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi who was elected in November 2004 and is up for re-election in 2008.

Name Does Religiosity Affect Multidimensional Poverty? Evidence from World Values Survey (2010-14)
Author : Salman Syed Ali, Hamid Hasan
Does religiosity affect multidimensional poverty? There is no simple answer to this question because there is no simple relationship between poverty and religiosity. Poverty is affected by religion in so many different ways, positively and negatively, through different routes and channels, that no plain general argument can be built. Yet, it is a fact that poverty, and its feel, is indeed affected by religion and religiosity of the people. In its influence and impact, the content of the religion as well as the practice of its followers greatly matter. It would be interesting to analyse how the content of different religions would differently affect poverty. However, before reaching that stage, even some more basic questions need to be answered that have not been studied and that could lead to improved understanding and open new avenues for further research. For example, we do not know whether the poor and non-poor are equally religious. We understand that poverty is multidimensional, that it is not only in income and wealth but also in other dimensions important for human life. In this case, what dimensions should matter? How do the patterns of deprivation across these various dimensions differ between the religious and non-religious multidimensional poor, and what impact does religiosity make on multidimensional poverty? The present paper attempts to provide a first cut answer to these questions. It also develops a new methodology by applying deprivation counting technique to analyse the issues at hand.

Listening, Hearing, Changing
Steven Volk, November 30, 2015
Some people find this moment of ferment on our nation’s campuses confusing, particularly as important principles that have defined the academic community are seemingly under assault. Safe space competes with academic freedom, intellectual diversity with political orthodoxy, and so on and so forth. It will take some time to sort it all out, particularly as not every protest seems well thought out and students, like all of us, are learning from their mistakes. But tumultuous moments such as the present also provide a way to hear things that, previously, we might have ignored. This week’s “Article of the Week” offers two such learning moments, one arising from the protest demands and the second, from a teacher’s reflections on her own practice.
Renaming: The Case of Woodrow Wilson
I am no longer surprised with how quickly protests have jumped from one one campus to another, for the underlying causes of concern and anger have been present – and unheard – for a long time. Student protests that recently have called our attention to the stubborn persistence of racial injustice both on campus and off have hopscotched from Yale to Ithaca, Occidental to Princeton, Amherst to Brandeis, Lewis and Clark, and Western Washington. What started at the University of Missouri did not stay at Mizzou, as students, faculty and staff seized on potentially the most promising opening for change in a generation. Among demands that have been raised by students of color are for the renaming of buildings that honor individuals who were particularly notable in their defense of slavery or, after the Civil War, segregation and racism.
Protesters at Princeton University (Photo by Mary Hui for The Washington Post)I
Among these, the case of Woodrow Wilson and Princeton stands out. President Wilson’s relationship to Princeton was anything but casual. He was an undergraduate (class of 1879), a professor (hired in 1890), and finally the university’s 13th president (1902). The deep identification of the university with Wilson can be seen all over the campus. Now, many students are questioning this relationship.
Wilson’s well known reputation as “the architect of a lot of modern liberalism” stands in stark contrast to his record on race relations which, in the muted terms of PBS’s “American Experience,” was “not very good.” In point of fact, it was a lot worse than that. Wilson was an unrepentant racist, a segregationist whose actions as President reversed the halting advances made by Black Americans in the years after Reconstruction. (For more on this see Eric S. Yellin, Racism in the Nation’s Service: Government Workers and the Color Line in Woodrow Wilson’s America (Univ. of North Carolina, 2013).
With this history in mind, in mid-November, the Black Justice League, a year-old group of concerned students at Princeton, announced that they would occupy the office of Princeton president Christopher Eisgruber until he agreed to a set of demands, including the following:
“WE DEMAND the university administration publicly acknowledge the racist legacy of Woodrow Wilson and how he impacted campus policy and culture. We also demand that steps be made to rename Wilson residential college, the Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy and International Affairs, and any other building named after him. Furthermore, we would like the mural of Wilson to be removed from the Wilcox dining hall. We understand that a name change does not dismantle racism, but also know that the way we lionize legacies set precedents.”
Calhoun College, Yale University
This call at Princeton was preceded by a similar demand at Yale that Calhoun College (i.e., residence hall), named for John C. Calhoun, a congressman, senator, vice president, secretary of state and war, as well as a staunch defender of states’ rights and an outspoken advocate of slavery, be retitled. A similar call was issued at Amherst College to retire Lord Jeffery Amherst as the college’s sports mascot. It was Amherst who wrote, in 1763: “Could it not be contrived to Send the Small Pox among those Disaffected Tribes of Indians? We must, on this occasion, Use Every Stratagem in our power to Reduce them.”
There is no simple answer to how colleges (or countries, for that matter) should deal with a past that is less than exemplary, and I don’t propose one here. But if some agreed that it was time for Yale to remove Calhoun’s name, the parallel demand to oust Wilson from Princeton seemed a bridge too far for many. Where, after all, would it all end. The editors at the New Jersey Star Ledger seemed to have this in mind when they wrote in their November 22 editorial that individuals such as Wilson were only part of the times in which they lived. “If we were to erase tributes to every historical figure with a repellent quality,” the editorial continued, “there would be no names left on any building, bridge, airport, school, river, park, statue or boulevard in the land.” Perhaps we should pause for a moment to let the full weight of that sink in. In any case, the editorial concluded, “The students at Princeton are right to acknowledge that the 28th President was a fierce segregationist, but to expunge the entire legacy of this transformative figure is historical myopia at its worst.”
Yet what students and their supporters at Yale and Princeton are saying is not that the “entire legacy” of these figures be “expunged,” but rather that the universities should stop and consider exactly what it means for the children of slavery and segregation, who you have invited to become a part of your community, to have to live, study, and work in buildings that celebrate the figures who were not just “at one” with their times, but staunch, active and outspoken proponents of slavery and segregation. This is not, in the end, a debate about whether the “repellent” acts of the past are to be deleted from historical memory, but whether those responsible for them are to continue to be honored in the present.
Was anyone listening to what the students are saying?
John Abraham Davis, center, and his family at their farm in the early 1900s (New York Times)
Yes. On November 24, the New York Times published an informative and moving op-ed by Gordon J. Davis, a lawyer and the grandson of John Abraham Davis. In “What Woodrow Wilson Cost My Grandfather,” Davis describes how, early in the last century, his grandfather rose from being a laborer to a mid-level manager at the Government Printing Office only to be demoted, with countless other African Americans, by Wilson’s systematic purge of the African Americans from the Federal civil service. As Davis concluded, “Wilson was not just a racist. He believed in white supremacy as government policy, so much so that he reversed decades of racial progress. But we would be wrong to see this as a mere policy change; in doing so, he ruined the lives of countless talented African-Americans and their families.”
The same day, the Times editorial board threw in their lot with Princeton’s Black Justice League. “The overwhelming weight of the evidence argues for rescinding the honor that the university bestowed decades ago on an unrepentant racist,” the Times wrote. This is not about removing those aspects of history which current undergraduates find abhorrent; it is about no longer honoring those individuals for such actions. While the Times is hardly the avatar of progressive thinking, it is gratifying that its editors could hear.
Emily E. Smith
Emily E. Smith is a fifth-grade teacher at the Cunningham Elementary School in Austin, TX. She was hired as a language arts and social studies teacher, although she now calls herself a “teacher of social justice and the art of communication with words.” The journey she took to her new identity was one that involved considerable listening.
Smith was just awarded the 2015 Donald H. Graves Excellence in the Teaching of Writing award given at the annual convention of the National Council of Teachers of English held in Minneapolis. (My wife, Dinah, a professor of early childhood education, was at the conference, heard Smith’s acceptance speech, and brought it to my attention. Strike that: insisted that I read it.) Parts of Smith’s acceptance speech circulated in an article by Valerie Strauss in the Washington Post, and I quote from that article here.
Emily Elizabeth Smith, fifth-grade teacher at Cunningham Elementary School in Austin, Tex. (Erich Schlegel, Washington Post)
“I’m white,” Smith began. “My classroom is not. Sure, it’s been my dream to work at an ‘urban’ school. To work with kids whose challenges I could never even fathom at such a young age. And changing at-risk lives through literature is almost a media cliché by now. These were, however, how I identified myself at the beginning of my teaching career. I was a great teacher. I taught children how to truly write for the first time and share meaningful connections on a cozy carpet.”
Yet Smith also understood that “something was missing.” Slightly more than 80 percent of K-12 teachers in the United States today are white. About half of public school students aren’t white. “That means,” she observed, “America’s children of color will, for the majority of their school years, not have a teacher who is a reflection of their own image. Most of their school life they will be told what to do and how to do it by someone who is white, and most likely female. Except for a few themed weeks, America’s children of color will read books, watch videos, analyze documents and study historical figures who are also not in their image.”
Smith’s understanding of what she was doing in her own classroom changed the day one of her students told her she “couldn’t understand because [she] was a white lady.” I don’t know why we are able to hear things at particular moments when the same messages has probably been delivered countless times without any effect. But sometimes we just do, and at that moment Smith heard. As she describes it, she went home “and cried, because my children knew about white privilege before I did. The closest I could ever come was empathy.”
From then on, she wrote, she chose to shift the curriculum she taught her class. Her 5th graders now are reading the issues that they want to explore. As they studied Sandra Cisneros, Pam Muñoz Ryan and Gary Soto, she saw a “light in their eyes I had never seen before.” They read Langston Hughes’s “Let America be America Again” from “the lens of both historical and current events and realized that the United States is still the land that has never been. The land that my kids, after reading an excerpt from Ta-Nehisi Coates’s letter to his son that connected so deeply to their personal experiences, decided they still wanted to believe in. The land they decided to still hope for. The land that one of my kids quietly said would be changed by her generation. A generation of empathy.”
After reading about the Syrian crisis, Smith’s students “wrote poetry of hope, despair and compassion from the perspectives of the migrants. Many of my kids asked to write about their own journeys across the border and their [dreams] for a better future. One child cried and told me he never had a teacher who honored the journey his family took to the United States. He told me he was not ashamed anymore, but instead proud of the sacrifice his parents made for him.”
Smith concluded, “So as I stand here today I can declare that I am no longer a language arts and social studies teacher, but a self-proclaimed teacher of social justice and the art of communication with words.”
“Looking back,” she continued,
I think that my prior hesitation to talk about race stemmed from a lack of social education in the classroom. A lack of diversity in my own life that is, by no means, the fault of my progressive parents, but rather a broken and still segregated school system. Now that I’m an educator in that system, I’ve decided to stand unflinching when it comes to the real issues facing our children today, I’ve decided to be unafraid to question injustice, unafraid to take risks in the classroom — I am changed. And so has my role as a teacher.
I can’t change the color of my skin or where I come from or what the teacher workforce looks like at this moment, but I can change the way I teach. So I am going to soapbox about something after all. Be the teacher your children of color deserve. In fact, even if you don’t teach children of color, be the teacher America’s children of color deserve, because we, the teachers, are responsible for instilling empathy and understanding in the hearts of all kids. We are responsible for the future of this country.
Put aside your anxieties and accept your natural biases. Donald Graves once said, ‘Children need to hang around a teacher who is asking bigger questions of herself than she is asking of them.’ I know I’m going to continue to ask the bigger questions of myself and seek the answers that sometimes feel impossible, because my kids deserve it … you’re welcome to join me.

Mom Shocked To Finally Learn Why Twins Look Different (Video)
by shanubaba/ January 26, 2017/ Latest Trending Topics/ 4 minutes to read
When Chrissy Bernal first became pregnant in 1999, it took her doctors six months to realize that she would be having twins (video below).
One of them was so small that earlier scans didn’t even pick her up, according to Little Things. One month later, the Texas mom gave birth to premature babies at 34 weeks during a risky C-section.
Daughter Sierra came out looking healthy and normal for a premature baby, but Chrissy noticed that Sienna “Sinny” weighed little more than a pound and had a giant head and translucent skin. Chrissy thought she looked a little bit like an alien.
Nobody had any idea what was different about Sienna, but doctors said she had a 10 percent chance to live through the next few days. What’s more, she would be a “vegetable” even if she did make it.
Sienna had a hole in her heart, and chronic lung disease, according to a 2011 Fox News report.
She was also hard of hearing and had Dandy Walker syndrome, which means that she was missing part of her brain.
But it wasn’t until Sienna was six years old that the family even had an idea of what was going on with her. After seeing tons of perplexed doctors over the years, they found a visiting geneticist who finally figured out that Sienna is a primordial dwarf.
Primordial dwarfism is a very rare condition — according to ABC News, there are only a few dozen known cases — but what is even more unusual is to have one twin with primordial dwarfism and one without.
In fact, as far as the Bernal twins know, they are the only two in the world, and they relish every moment of it.
“Being Sienna’s twin is pretty cool,” Sierra, now 18, told Fox News in 2011. “It makes me even more special. Being Sienna’s twin has made me a strong person.
Plus, I can pretty easily see who my real friends are because Sienna and I are a packaged deal. If you don’t like her because she’s different, then you don’t get me.”
Sienna is now a special needs advocate who runs a website and a couple of blogs dedicated to her unique condition.
She also has a cooking website that teaches the differently-abled to cook safely and independently.
“What makes them different is what makes them wonderful!” Sienna’s website says.

The main difference was that all "Independent Business Owners" (IBO) could order directly from Amway on the Internet, rather than from their upline "direct distributor", and have products shipped directly to their home. The Amway name continued being used in the rest of the world. After virtually all Amway distributors in North America switched to Quixtar, Alticor elected to close Amway North America after 2001. In June 2007 it was announced that the Quixtar brand would be phased out over an 18- to 24-month period in favor of a unified Amway brand (Amway Global) worldwide.
Whereas The Plan is supposed to provide a simple means to a desirable end, for Josh, Jean, and Sherri the process of recovery had become an end in itself. Josh and Jean would constantly tell me how World Wide’s books and advice had enriched their marriage and helped them to communicate with each other (the bolstering of marriage and family is a major theme in Amway). The Amway lore is also full of distributors, perhaps abused as children, who “couldn’t even look people in the eye” when they joined, but who were now confidently showing The Plan to all and sundry.
‘I was a salaried man working in a company for eight years,’ says Kaoru Nakajima, Japan’s first Amway Crown Ambassador. ‘Now I am my own boss. Now I am free. Now I am selling products that make me proud. Now I am helping people in five different countries to build their own businesses. When I see so many people getting more abundant lives, I feel really excited.’
Pyramid schemes have nothing to do with real commercial activity or product sales. Pyramid schemes are a form of financial fraud based on recruiting new people to make investments into a business, and then using those investments to pay the people who joined earlier. In Amway, distributors (Amway Business Owners) make money from the sale of our products – not from recruiting others to join.
Moving on, we exchanged info. I gave him my business card, he gave me his number. I thought cool, I just made a new friend who has the same mindset as I do, you know, work hard for the good life. He called me a couple of days later and we met at a small time franchise restaurant (his choice - part of the presentation). He brought his wife with him. They were both 22 years old. Not that it's weird, but I don't know. They both sounded like such nice people, I mean really nice. It's hard to take them or think that they are even out to commit anything that is considered bad. They gave me a book called "Business of the 21st Century" and I was to read it in four days, probably because in five days there was a meeting I was not yet aware of, and after reading the book we met again.
In 2006 Amway (then Quixtar in North America) introduced its Professional Development Accreditation Program in response to concerns surrounding business support materials (BSM), including books, tapes and meetings.[100][101] In 2010 this was superseded by its Accreditation Plus program to ensure that all BSM content is consistent with Amway's quality assurance standards, which approved providers of BSM must abide by.[102][103] The quality assurance standards state that[104][105][106]
Amway conducted a four-month evaluation of different IoT platforms, ultimately choosing AWS IoT. AWS’s scalability, global presence, maturity in the IoT space, security, and outstanding professional services were the deciding factors for Amway. “We do business in more than 100 countries and territories, and we had no idea how much data-center capacity we would need from an IoT perspective,” says Mike Gartner, senior IoT platform architect at Amway.
The centerpiece of any Rally is the life-story told by the guest of honor, emphasizing the depths of his pre-Amway rut and his resurrection through The Business. That evening’s featured guest, Executive Diamond Bill Hawkins, however, was too arrogant even to feign the requisite humility in his testimonial. He had been great all his life: a talented musician in one of Minneapolis’s best bands, a brilliant school teacher, a voracious reader, a charming companion with hundreds of loyal friends, and an unbelievably prodigious drinker of beer (about which he was now “ashamed”). When he saw The Plan and realized that he was much smarter than the guy showing it, he knew that his ship had finally come in: Here, at last, was something that would adequately reward his greatness[16].
From time to time the absurdities and contradictions of The Business would surface in Josh’s conversation. In one of his many unguarded moments, he voiced a preference for Amway Scrub Rite because it ran out more quickly than the “superconcentrated” Amway cleaners, enabling him to buy it more often. Catching himself, he quickly added, “Of course, it still lasts a long time.” This puzzled me. Why was Josh so eager to shovel money at Amway? The rational thing would be to minimize his own purchases while strong-arming his downlines into buying as much as possible. But, of course, if everyone did that, the whole business would evaporate. This is Amway’s central dilemma.
Your a straight bitch and you just want to knock down this guy for putting his two cents down, well you should do some legitamate research before you just tell this guy that hes full of shit and give him LOL’s. Besides, what the fuck are you doing just sitting on your computer commenting negatively on blogs that you know nothing about. Your a hypnotized bitch and I believe that this guy makes 2.2k a month, at least, in this thing. I guarantee you wouldnt be such a bitch if you understood how to do the same thing, but some people just cant believe something and have faith, so they knock it down and shatter other peoples dreams around them. Well I hope someone shattered your dreams when you were a kid, because isnt that what everyone wants? To be around negative lethargic fucks who spend their days finding stuff that doesnt make sense to their peanut sized minds and calling it out because they dont understand it? Well LOL to you too. Your whole life is probably a big LOL. Oooh whatchu gonna do read my internet code or whatever and come set me straight? Bitch I am straight, I aint crooked like you so consider waking the fuck up before your short insignifigant life is over in the blink of an eye
Scott confidently reprised decades’ worth of conservative alarmism, invoking inflation and national debt and other flat-earth bugbears in a doomsday routine as charmingly archaic as it was fatuous. An accurate narrative of the last few decades—growing productivity, GDP, and per-capita income, accompanied by a massive upward redistribution of wealth—would hardly have packed the millennial portent Scott was looking for. The Second Wave, like Communism, like all the works of man, was destined to decay and collapse, making way for the coming entrepreneurial kingdom—which, for those who lacked faith or zeal, would bring a day of reckoning. Were we ready? To prove he “wasn’t making this crazy stuff up,” he littered the floor with copies of Fortune, Money, and Forbes, citing the relevant disaster stories. I felt like I was back at ENTERPRISE 2020.
In the 1990s, the Amway organization was a major contributor to the Republican Party (GOP) and to the election campaigns of various GOP candidates. Amway and its sales force contributed a substantial amount (up to half) of the total funds ($669,525) for the 1994 political campaign of Republican congresswoman and Amway distributor Sue Myrick (N.C.).[73] According to two reports by Mother Jones magazine, Amway distributor Dexter Yager "used the company's extensive voice-mail system to rally hundreds of Amway distributors into giving a total of $295,871" to Myrick's campaign.[73][74] According to a campaign staffer quoted by the magazine, Myrick had appeared regularly on the Amway circuit, speaking at hundreds of rallies and selling $5 and $10 audiotapes.[73] Following the 1994 election, Myrick maintained "close ties to Amway and Yager", and raised $100,000 from Amway sources, "most notably through fundraisers at the homes of big distributors", in the 1997–98 election cycle.[74]
I can promise you will lose friends and lovers. If that's worth it to you then go forth, but be aware that for the participant (or victim) in this, your loss of friendships will sometimes be invisible, and occasionally worth much more than you ever thought. It's an honest decision - you shouldn't be friends with someone who treats you this way. Every single person who has fallen into this trap I have seen lose friends in the long run, even if we tried to see past it. It's a black mark of a terrible person. When someone tells you who they are, you should listen to them.
Amway is an $8.6 billion direct selling business based in Ada, Michigan, USA. Top-selling brands for Amway are Nutrilite™ vitamin, mineral and dietary supplements, Artistry™ skincare and color cosmetics, eSpring™ water treatment systems and XS™ energy drinks – all sold exclusively by Amway Business Owners. Global sales in 2016 made Amway the No. 1 direct selling business in the world, according to the 2017 Direct Selling News Global 100. The company’s annual sales figure includes revenue from direct selling operations and other business holdings.
But Dream Night brought all the questions back to the surface: If Amway isn’t a scam, why did it seem so much like one? It may win heaps of praise nowadays, but Amway doesn’t seem to have changed much at all. Perhaps what’s changed is us. While Amway is the same as it ever was, the rest of us have made peace with commercial insanity. Maybe capitalism has finally reached the stage of self-parody, unblushingly celebrating a house-of-cards as its highest achievement. And maybe Dream Night, instead of being the ritual of a fringe cult, is the vanguard of the future.
The reason some people received $84 was because they didn’t work hard enough to earn more. This business isnt for everyone. Just try the products and of you dont like them then return them you have 6 months to return them. Just dont start stating facts that aren’t true just because you lost a friend. They probably left because they trying to be with people who were trying to succeed. Take it from me im 16 years old and this business has not failed me yet.
Listen to Rosemarie and Otto Steiner-Lang, who joined Amway in the hope of funding their own construction company and now run their Amway business full-time: ‘We have found in Amway the independence we were looking for. This business is a doable and affordable solution for the problems in the labor market today. Amway, which represents free enterprise perfectly, postulates and promotes the initiative of the individual, reducing the burden on the public social system.’
From that point forward it became more demanding and more exhausting. Our lives had been taken away. There were Thursday meetings, Saturday events, Sunday night meetings, conferences, etc. We just lost control of it all. And on top of everything else, we were losing money, not gaining money. Finally, in mid-December, I told our mentors we couldn't do it any longer. Their first response was to blame my father who I had mentioned was skeptical (like any normal person would be). They immediately assumed he had forced us to quit when it was honestly our own decision. My dad was supportive. The next day we were cut out of their delusional lives completely. We were de-friended and blocked on social media and never to speak a word to us again.
Amway was founded in 1959 by two fellows by the name of Richard DeVos and Jay Van Andel who are based in Michigan. Today Amway do business through number of companies all around the world (More than eighty countries). In 2012 Amway was actually rewarded the number 25 position by Forbes for being one of the largest private companies in the United States. In fact, more than $11 billion dollars with of sales were recorded, making Amway one of the most successful Direct sales or network marketing companies that have been in business for well over 50 years.
[2]Nowadays, nearly all Amwayers identify with a “distributor group.” Dream Night, in fact, was arranged not by Amway, but by World Wide Dreambuilders LLC, which is constituted by the downlines of Crown Ambassador Bill Britt. These groups, which do the heavy lifting of building and inspiring downlines, have no legal connection to Amway (as indicated by the disclaimers on the back of tickets for Dream Night and every other World Wide function I attended: “This event is produced and offered independently of Amway Corporation and has not been reviewed or endorsed by Amway”). The corporation uses the legal independence of distributor groups to its advantage. In a class-action lawsuit brought by former Amwayers charging Amway Corporation, World Wide head Bill Britt, and Dexter Yager with fraud and price-fixing, Amway claimed that it was itself, in effect, a victim of Britt and Yager’s tactics—and thus not liable. (The case has since been settled out of court.)
"What I love about Amway the most is the natural ingredients used in their products. They keep my family healthier and make everything look fresher and cleaner. I appreciate the confidence I have with their customer service that was careful to my concerns and problems. They managed to make things right quickly. It is easy to make an order in a convenient way. They have products for all people of any ages, no matter what you are looking for. I would definitely recommend this company and their products to anyone."
The next week, I decided. I would never learn the truth about Amway until I joined. I left a message on Josh’s Amvox voicemail telling him I had the $160 check ready. A week later, I left another message. By my third attempt, I got Josh himself (who had been intending to return my calls) and was finally able to arrange a time to separate me from my money. It wasn’t the last time I felt he and Jean weren’t exactly cut out for the rigors of The Business.
At the end of the day, they deliberately do not keep records to show if they earn more money from recruiting or from sale of products. People that are recruited are mandated to buy products and how do we tell the difference between people who joined Amway for the discounted prices and those who joined for the income opportunity but were unable to recruit? Everyone is bundled together so we will never know.
Rallies begin with a ritual called “crossing the stage,” in which distributors who have attained a new bonus level go up to receive their commemorative pin and shake hands with a Diamond. From the crowd of about five hundred, two couples “crossed” at the 1,000 PV level (the lowest warranting a pin) and received a standing ovation from the audience. From the stage, the host then called out all the levels from 1,500 PV to 7,500 PV. Nobody emerged from the audience—which, nonetheless, remained on its feet applauding. The host kept cajoling, “C’mon, there’s plenty of room up here,” as if it were shyness that was keeping people away. It was the archetypal Amway moment: a crowd giving a standing ovation to nobody.
Bottom line: If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, Amway may not be the place for you due to the company politics. Sort of ironic, since the Amway business thrives on the entrepreneurial spirit of the distributor force. But, if you are looking to just go to work every day, maintain the status quo, get paid fairly, and live a balanced life, than Amway is great!
Whether there is more emphasis on referrals or sale of products is very debatable. It pretty much depends on the individual IBO involved. In the Amway gathering I went to, the IBO making the presentation stressed the prospect of saving through the “discounted” prices on the hub rather than trying to sell us the idea of making a lot of money. Some IBOs might try to sell you the idea of making a fortune right away. Some are pushy, some are nice people.
THIS IS ALL CRAP, EVERYTHING THIS GUY/GIRL IS SAYING IS ALL FAKE ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I AM A CROWN IN THE BUSINESS AND BECAUSE HE IS SAYING THAT IT IS NOT A PYRAMID SCHEME. ESPECIALLY, BECAUSE I HAVE AN UPLINE THAT IS IN THE LEVEL EMERALD AND I AM IN CROWN, EVEN THOUGH HE INVITED ME I PASSED HIM, SO THIS IS ALL CRAP IF ANYONE ONE IS INTERESTED IN THIS WONDERFUL OPERTUNITY CONTACT ME.
To understand the DeVos family, it helps to understand West Michigan. A sweeping landscape of flat, rolling farmland freckled with small towns, it sits on the opposite side of the state—in more than one way—from the big, diverse, reliably Democratic Detroit metropolitan area. Broadly speaking, it’s a region where people are deeply religious, politically conservative, entrepreneurial and unfailingly polite—think Utah, if it were settled not by Mormons but by Dutch Calvinists. “There’s an old expression here,” chuckles Gleaves Whitney, director of the Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies at Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids. “‘If you ain’t Dutch, you ain’t much.’”
Amway allows me to buy health, beauty, and home care products in a fashion that no other site does. It provides multi level marketing which builds a relationship between buyer and seller. However, the thing I would change about this company is to make their service more user friendly. As of right now it is extremely difficult for me to navigate their site to search for items I want. My overall experience for using this company has been rather well thus far. In terms of product selection, there are a large catalog of products that I can choose from. The purchasing process is as streamlined as any other site and the customer service has been impeccable too.
You need life insurance if people depend on you financially - and for no other reason. The only real reason for this is because you have children. A lazy spouse isn't a good enough reason, an adult can be expected to find work. If you must pay someone money to bet that you'll die, it should be because your children are dependent on you, or because you care for someone at end-of-life. They make very cheap term-life policies to cover this, for like 1-5x annual salary - 20 years, depending on whether you smoke. Getting a similar policy for on a spouse that's taking care of the kids is also important to consider.
Amway is a fun job to have. The company teaches their employees to be their own bosses. They offer great life and business skills. The upline there always encourage you to go for your goals. The employees are like family, and they show great team work. The hardest park of the job for me is working overnight. I'm looking forward to changing my shift. The most enjoyable part of my job is the freedom. I come to work every night knowing whats expected of me, and i complete my tasks assigned for that day one time. It feels good to know that i am dependable, and a hard worker.
Hey there, I'm Amedu and I made my first penny online at 20 (not too long ago...LOL). If I could do it without any prior skills, so can you. The thought of building a business could be overwhelming at first, but with the right training you will do just fine. Check out my top recommended training platform to learn how to make money online and get started today!
In the 1960s and ’70s, Ed and Elsa Prince advanced God’s Kingdom from the end of a cul-de-sac just a few miles from Lake Michigan. There, they taught their four children—Elisabeth (Betsy), Eileen, Emilie and Erik—a deeply religious, conservative, free-market view of the world, emphasizing the importance of self-reliance and sending them to private schools that would reinforce the values they celebrated at home, small-government conservatism chief among them.
In the weeks since Donald Trump announced that he would nominate DeVos for secretary of education, Michigan’s political circles have been abuzz. As ever, the DeVoses are loved and hated, with little in between. “She is a strong supporter of public education and of quality education for every child,” says Engler. “It’s horrifying. It’s a slap in the face,” says Whitmer. “The only people who have anything to worry about are those running failing schools,” says Truscott. “It is as if you were to appoint some radical pacifist as secretary of defense,” says Jack Lessenberry, a senior political analyst for Michigan Public Radio.
I got sucked into this program only to find out to get started you have to spend $300 in your store each month. This wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't stuck part-time at Wal-Mart. I could flex my schedule to fit my mentor's just fine, I already thought the way they want you to in the first place, and I welcomed learning new things but I just couldn't afford it and no one is going to help you because they're all trying to make their own business succeed. Then I tried talking to my mentor and he seemed more selfish than anything. I would have to starve myself on perfect water and protein bars and he only thought about how me leaving would affect HIM. I hate people, always will and this just made my social seclusion worse. If you are reading this to because you just got dragged into too, don't follow through with it unless you have extra money to throw around. I was also learning nothing I didn't already know. And you'll always hear people saying "Well if you knew how, why aren't you successful like us?" Well my answer is because I haven't tried yet. Every meeting you hear the exact same things. I even had the infortunity to go to this year's Spring Leadership. The most interesting part of it was the band at the very beginning. Every person had the same thing to say, the only diversity is how they got to where they are now. My mentor is extremely unequipped to teach anyone. He may have been mentored by the most famous Diamonds in Edmonton but in two years he's not even Eagle.
“Our investment in AWS Professional Services paid off by significantly reducing our learning curve and increasing speed-to-market,” says Binger. “It’s hard to believe we went from initial conception to building a production-ready appliance with IoT capability in a little over a year’s time. That’s extremely fast for Amway—our typical product-development cycle is significantly longer than that.”
What do u think of Senegence? I was talked in to joining and have a ton of issues with the way the company operates. If I were told that purchasing product would be this stressful I would have never joined. They have sold me products they don't have! Kept my monney for a 2 months at a time and are out of stock on 99% of the items 99% of the time. When they release a Lipsense color the site freezes and by the time(meaning hours) you get in the the product you want is gone. Senegence doesn't put limits on the amount of products one distributor can buy. Growing your business should be the only stressful part of a company NOT GETTING PRODUCTS! at this point I feel as if I've been very mislead and any advice Your be greatly appreciated. Thank you
And while a state constitutional amendment legalizing public funding for religious schools is unlikely to win public support anytime soon, charters have had much the same impact. While a charter school cannot be religiously affiliated, many walk a fine line, appointing, for instance, a preacher as head of the school board or renting school space from a church. “They have a couple ways of getting around it,” says Gary Miron, a professor of education at Western Michigan University who specializes in charter school evaluation and research. “I’ve been in charter schools where I’ve seen religious prayers to Jesus Christ—they mention Christ by name—and prayer circles with students, teachers and parents.”
I look Amway in this way....it provides a person with personal development goal. This is the most valuable asset not only in business but yourself. The business system may not be your cup of tea but personal development is a must in 21 century.Looking at the history, all the successful have a hand in self development either in terms of mentorship, coaching or trainings. It's obvious you cannot grow your business if you have not developed yourself which goes towards setting goals, having life fulfillment and teaching your highest potential. If amway was not your cup of tea , you did not understand the business or you did not give it time and you didn't have a business mindset; then you have no point of influencing others in your lopsided way.I love Amway the way I love wealth affiliate university as an affiliate marketer

March 26-30, 2017. Göttingen, Germany.
The members of the Network of Nordic and Baltic Tradition Archives organised three panels in the SIEF Congress which is one of the largest international events in the field of ethnology and folkloristics:
Arch01 Dwelling in the cultural archives I: traces, experiences and meanings
Arch02 Dwelling in the virtual space: digital approaches and archival practices
Arch03 Dwelling in the cultural archives II: policies and archive practices
All panels were widely attended by the international audience, while support was granted to 18 participants from the NBTA.
During the Congress, the joint meeting of the NBTA network with the worldwide SIEF (The International Society for Ethnology and Folklore) Working Group on Archives took place, as well the meeting of WG2 and WG4 (editorial team).
Both events provided the floor to the international audience and supported not only cooperation among Nordic and Baltic countries, but in a wider, especially European, scope.

Switchfoot Biography
Everybody wants a story; this is ours. It's not about putting on a show or trying to sell something. Being Switchfoot is all about putting a different foot forward, risking to change or be changed. Switchfoot is a rock and roll family of sorts. Tim, Chad, Jerome and I have seen pretty much everything over the past six years. We've done the "thirteen-hour drive" tours in the van, we've slept on the streets in London, we've gotten kicked out of the club in Hawaii, we've met our heroes and archenemies. We've been at this ever since Tim graduated from High School: the best years of our lives playing the songs that we believe in. This is the beginning of our story.
From the start we wanted to be genuine- the same people on and off stage. However, wearing your heart on your sleeve in front of an audience is a huge risk- strings break, the power goes out, fingers and memories malfunction. I used to hate playing live music for this reason. I felt like I could express what I wanted to say better on my four-track than I could on stage. When Tim, Chad, Jerome and I joined forces I finally felt like we were saying something new as a live band, something that needed to be said. I began to love the floating moments when anything can happen next. Somewhere back there the risk of playing live became a fuel to burn and our honesty became our strength.
Our roots dig deep into San Diego. We grew up surfing every day and competing on the weekends. In fact, the name Switchfoot comes from a surfing term. We're proud of our local music scene and thankful to be a part of it. We've got our local heroes, (Mark Trombino, O, Rob Crow, John Reese) but we all come to the table with different musical backgrounds. In many ways our strength is in our diversity. Tim might wish that he were Paul McCartney but Chad would probably lean toward Stevie Wonder. I think I might go for Miles Davis but that's another story. The point is that our albums have always been hard to pin down. We've never tried for a specific sound or genre. The "Switchfoot Sound" if there is such a thing has been simply an attempt to put every song on tape with the unique production that every individual song needs. The song is king not the album.
Switchfoot songs come from a place near the center of who I am. These songs are my way of exploring the world, and at times challenging the way things are. I've always had trouble writing the caffeinated chorus that pretends to be something that I'm not. We've never fit in any of the genre boxes, so we did our own thing, not in an attempt to be different but simply trying to be ourselves. I try to be honest in my songs and in my life as I try to wrestle with the tension of "how it is and how it should be." I want the listener to wrestle with the tension for herself because freedom and truth and love are worth fighting for. Moreover, life is worth living.
The Beautiful Letdown is about real life: the good, the bad, and the ugly. It's an honest attempt to reflect on the great and terrible aspects of being human, the tension of existence. A lot of people run away from this tension because the problems in our world are too hard to face. But the tension of being human is where we live and think and breathe. In fact, the very lowest moments in our lives are when we stand toe to toe with the truth about ourselves and our world. The way I see it, hope means nothing at all if hope doesn't reach to the core of our need. The Beautiful Letdown is where meaning and hope invade our greatest and worst moments. The Beautiful Letdown is where we live, who we are, and where the future begins.

Welcoming New Drama Teacher to ‘Our Town’ in Fairfax
Robinson Secondary welcomes new drama teacher and opens the season with Thornton Wilder’s ‘Our Town.’
The students of Robinson Secondary School welcomed the new drama teacher and are thrilled to be working with her on their fall production, Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town.”
Rambunctious Theatre Company presented the classic play during the second weekend of November. “Our Town” guides the audience through the town of Grover’s Corners and the lives of the people in the town; following the lives of George Gibbs, played by senior Nico Ochoa, and Emily Webb, played by senior Erin Reno. With a cast of 23 students from Robinson Secondary and 60+ tech members, the students have worked tirelessly over the course of three months to prepare for four shows over the course of the second weekend in November. From the makeup crew to the actors, each student has contributed a vital aspect to the show. Everything was student designed from the poster design to the set. The sound design was performed live with a sound crew creating the noises in real time with the show.
“The show has a connection to every single person who watches it and it really makes you think about how precious life is.” says assistant director Zachary Foley, who is a senior at Robinson. “It really makes you think about how you can live your life to the fullest.” Zachary has worked alongside director Madeline Marshall throughout the whole process, in order to gain an understanding of what he would like to pursue in his future.
Marshall is the new high school drama teacher at Robinson Secondary and is thrilled to start off the season with this play. “It has been an absolute joy to be able to begin working with the incredible students of Rambunctious Theatre Company. There is always a measure of intimidation when producing a show as well-known as ‘Our Town;’ there are so many schools of thought on Wilder’s iconic piece. What truly impressed me was the brilliant creativity and thoughtfulness of all the students involved, both on and off-stage.” said Marshall.
“They have brought so much heart and hard work to the play, which has made my job as their new teacher so much fun. Every day they impress me more and more, and have made me feel warmly welcome in the Robinson family.”
With an upcoming season of “Almost, Maine,” “Mary Poppins,” and more, Marshall has a full season of shows with her students ahead and is thankful for the experience of working on “Our Town” to get to know her students.

Women in Horror Movies
Horror is an especially good genre for exploring the dark recesses and contradictions of the many different experiences of womanhood.
Though she only appears in a single scene and never speaks a word, Elsa Lanchester’s Bride is without doubt the most iconic female monster of them all.
Maila Nurmi (December 11, 1922 – January 10, 2008) was an actress born in Petsamo, Finland, who created the campy 1950s character Vampira, TV’s first horror host. Her gothic look and extreme 38-17-36 figure made her a ghoulish icon.
Carol Borland, was an American professor, writer, and actress. She is best known for having portrayed Luna, the daughter of Bela Lugosi’s character, Count Mora, in Mark of the Vampire, and for creating the iconic look of the female vampire with her waist-length dark hair and Adrian-designed shroud in this film. The visual designs of both the character of Lily Munster in the television series The Munsters and Vampira played by Maila Nurmi were based on her striking appearance. She was accused of wearing the “wiggiest wig in Hollywood,” but the waist-length hair was her own.

Did Joseph Smith See God the Father in the First Vision?
Robert M. Bowman Jr.
A basic element of the Mormon faith is the belief in the First Vision, in which Joseph Smith claimed that the Father and the Son personally appeared to him in the spring of 1820 (Joseph Smith—History 1:14). There are many reasons to question the truth of the First Vision. In this brief article, however, only one very specific question will be considered: Did Joseph Smith see God the Father in that vision?
Joseph Smith produced several accounts of the First Vision (or something like it) between 1832 and 1844. According to the earliest of these accounts, Joseph saw “the Lord,” that is, the Lord Jesus. Yet, according to the 1838 account published in Joseph Smith—History, he saw “two personages,” the Father and the Son. If Joseph really had seen the Father, how is one to explain the omission of this occurrence from the earliest account?
It is true that the 1832 account does not deny that the Father was present, and so one might dismiss this criticism as an argument from silence. On the other hand, the visible appearance of the Father alongside the Son is surely one of the most significant elements of the story. It certainly has been viewed that way historically by LDS authorities. Gordon B. Hinckley (LDS Church President, 1995-2008) commented on the uniqueness of this aspect of the vision: “At no other time of which we have any record have God our Eternal Father and His Beloved Son, the risen Lord, appeared on earth together…. Nothing like it had ever happened before.”1 This is why the following argument presented by Mormon apologist Michael Ash will not work:
Nothing in the 1832 account states, however, that there was only one personage. If you tell someone that you had visited with the President of the United States, does this mean that the Vice President and First Lady were not present?2
Ash’s point backfires as a defense against the particular objection here. The situation is more akin to someone reporting that he had visited with the Vice-President but neglecting to mention that he had also seen the President! Again, the supposed visible appearance of the Father alongside the Son in the woods is regarded by Mormons as an essential element of the vision and as a unique event in the history of revelation (which it would be). Its omission, if it were factual, cannot be explained away as a “minor” difference or as a matter of “emphasis” or “focus.”
A recent article on LDS.org about the First Vision acknowledges the problem and suggests that the 1832 account may refer to two divine persons by the same title “the Lord.” The article proposes that in the 1832 account, the statement “the Lord opened the heavens upon me and I saw the Lord” meant that the Father opened the heavens and then Joseph saw the Son, Jesus Christ.3 Even if that explanation were correct, the 1832 account would still conflict with the 1838 account. Suppose the quoted statement means, “The Father opened the heavens upon me, and I saw the Son.” This would still mean that Joseph saw just one divine person, not two.
Moreover, the interpretation that “the Lord” refers to the Father in the first instance but to the Son in the second instance is ad hoc and strained. As Stan Larson, a Mormon (albeit a rather unorthodox one) has pointed out, the passage uses the title “the Lord” repeatedly without any indication that it refers to two different divine persons.4 A review of the occurrences of the title in the 1832 account bears out Larson’s point:
I found that mankind did not come unto the Lord…
I cried unto the Lord for mercy….
And the Lord heard my cry in the wilderness….
And while in the attitude of calling upon the Lord….
And the Lord opened the heavens upon me and I saw the Lord….
Behold, I am the Lord of glory. I was crucified for the world….
And the Lord was with me….
The claim that the 1832 account meant to say that Joseph saw two personages is therefore simply not plausible (even if it is, barely, possible). As it stands, the 1832 account is inconsistent with the later 1838 account that is part of Joseph Smith—History, which Mormons accept as Scripture. Nor is the difference between the two accounts with regard to who visited Joseph a matter of an incidental detail omitted from the earlier account. Quite the contrary, this is a major discrepancy that reflects the fact that Joseph’s theology was developing and changing in the 1830s. This fact can be discerned from an examination of the revelations, teaching materials, sermons, and supposed inspired translations he produced throughout the decade.
In the early 1830s, Joseph held to something close to the traditional Christian view of the doctrine of the Trinity (see the Testimony of Three Witnesses; 2 Ne. 31:21; Mormon 7:7; D&C 20:17, 28; Moses 7:29, 31). It would not have made sense in his theology at the time to have the Father and the Son both appearing on earth in bodily form side by side. In the 1835 Lectures on Faith, which Joseph oversaw and approved, the Father was understood to be a “personage of spirit” and the Son a “personage of tabernacle,” that is, with a physical body (Lectures on Faith 5.2). Although the two “personages” are more sharply distinguished, still at this point the idea of a literal appearance of the two divine persons on earth would not have fit Joseph’s theology.
By the late 1830s, however, Joseph’s monotheistic worldview was coming apart, and he apparently viewed the three persons of the Trinity as three separate beings and even perhaps as three Gods. In an 1839 revelation, Joseph announced that a time was coming when it would be known “whether there be one God or many gods,” and when other truths would be revealed “according to that which was ordained in the midst of the Council of the Eternal God of all other gods before this world was” (D&C 121:28, 32). By 1843 Joseph was teaching publicly that God the Father was not, as stated in the Lectures on Faith, a personage of spirit as opposed to one of tabernacle, but a personage with “a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s” (D&C 130:22).
In short, Joseph’s claim in 1838 that he had been visited in 1820 by the Father and the Son as two separately visible personages therefore reflects the stage of Joseph’s theological development at that time.5 This evidence supports the conclusion that the First Vision was a fiction, invented by Joseph after he started the LDS Church and which he continued to alter over time to suit his changing doctrine.

Section 1 Registrant's Business and Operations
Compass Group Diversified Holdings LLC (the “Company”) and Compass Diversified Holdings (“Holdings” and, together with the Company, collectively “CODI,” “us” or “we”) acquires and manages small to middle market businesses in the ordinary course of its business. The following description relates to the recent divestiture of one such business.
On February 19, 2019, the Company, as majority shareholder of FHF Holdings Ltd. (“FHF”) and as Shareholder Representative, entered into a definitive agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with Tilray, Inc., the other shareholders of FHF and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tilray, 1197879 B.C. Ltd. (“Tilray Subco”), to sell to Tilray, Inc. (“Tilray”), through Tilray Subco, all of the issued and outstanding securities of FHF for total consideration of up to C$419 million (the “Total Consideration”). The sale of FHF will occur pursuant to a plan of arrangement under Division 5 of Part 9 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Arrangement”).
Pursuant to the Arrangement, and subject to certain customary adjustments, the shareholders of FHF, including the Company, may receive the following from Tilray as consideration for their shares of FHF: (a) C$150 million in cash to the holders of preferred shares of FHF and the holders of common shares of FHF (“Common Holders”) and C$127.5 million in shares of class 2 Common Stock of Tilray (“Common Stock”) to the Common Holders on the closing date of the Arrangement (the “Closing Date Consideration”), (b) C$50 million in cash and C$42.5 million in Common Stock to the Common Holders on the date that is six months after the closing date of the Arrangement (the “Deferred Consideration”) and (c) C$49 million in Common Stock to the Common Holders, which amount may be reduced, potentially to zero, if FHF fails to attain certain levels of U.S. branded gross sales of edible or topical products containing broad spectrum hemp extracts or cannabidiols prior to December 31, 2019 (the “Milestone Consideration” and, together with the Closing Date Consideration and the Deferred Consideration, the “Consideration”). The cash portion of the Closing Date Consideration will be reduced by the amount of the net indebtedness of FHF on the closing date and a transaction expense amount of $5,000,000.
It is the intention of the parties that all stock consideration issued pursuant to the Arrangement will be issued by Tilray in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Section 3(a)(10) thereof and pursuant to exemptions from applicable securities laws of any state of the United States, such that any shares of Common Stock received by the Common Holders will be freely tradeable. If Tilray is restricted, delayed or prohibited from issuing any Common Stock in connection with the Arrangement, or if the issue price of the Common Stock is less than $56.37, any amount of the Consideration payable in Common Stock may be paid in an equivalent amount of cash.
The completion of the Arrangement is subject to customary conditions precedent, including the approval of the Arrangement by the British Columbia Supreme Court. Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, the shareholders of FHF (severally and not jointly), FHF, Tilray Subco and Tilray each gave customary representations and warranties and indemnities for a transaction of the nature of the Arrangement. The Transaction is expected to close as soon as practicable following receipt of court approval and must occur on or before April 30, 2019, unless otherwise agreed to by FHF and Tilray, and provided that the NASDAQ has completed its review of the Agreement.
The foregoing brief description of the Arrangement Agreement is not meant to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by the Arrangement Agreement itself, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

History C++ programming language
by MCL | posted: July 18, 2013 0 Comment
History of C++ (pronounced see plus plus) is a programming language that is general purpose, statically typed, free-form,multi-paradigm and compiled. It is regarded as an intermediate-level language, as it comprises both high-level and low-level language features Developed by Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979 at Bell Labs, C++ was originally named C with Classes, adding object oriented features, such as classes, and other enhancements to the C programming language. The language was renamed C++ in 1983, as a pun involving the increment operator.
history C++ programming language mycodinglab
C++ is one of the most popular programming languages and is implemented on a wide variety of hardware and operating system platforms. As an efficient compiler to native code, its application domains include systems software, application software, device drivers, embedded software, high-performance server and client applications, and entertainment software such as video games. Several groups provide both free and proprietary C++ compiler software, including the GNU Project, LLVM, Microsoft and Intel. C++ has greatly influenced many other popular programming languages, most notably C# and Java.
The language began as enhancements to C, first adding classes, then virtual functions, operator overloading,multiple inheritance, templates and exception handling, among other features. After years of development, the C++ programming language standard was ratified in 1998 as ISO/IEC. The standard was amended by the 2003 technical corrigendum, ISO/IEC 2003. The current standard extending C++ with new features was ratified and published by ISO in September 2011 as ISO/IEC 14882:2011 (informally known as C++11).
In 1970s, Dennis Ritchie of Bell start to develop new operating system at AT&T Bell Labs. In order to do that he realize that he will need a programming language, fast but too low-level to be suitable for large software development. So he developed the programming language called C(pronounced like the letter C).
In 1979 Bjarne Stroustrup began work on “C with Classes”. The new language was created In 1983, the name of the language was changed from C with Classes to C++ (++ being the increment operator in C). C++ is basically an extension of C Programming Language. New features were added including virtual functions, function name and operator overloading, references, constants, user-controlled free-store memory control, improved type checking, and BCPL style single-line comments with two forward slashes (//). Release 2.0 of C++ came in 1989 and the updated second edition of The C++ Programming Language was released in 1991. New features included multiple inheritance, abstract classes, static member functions, const member functions, and protected members.

DG'S SPEECH ON THE 25TH SILVER JUBILLEE) ANNIVERSARY OF NBC
TEXT OF SPEECH BY THE DIRECTOR GENERAL NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMMISSION, IS’HAQ MODIBBO KAWU, ON THE OCCASION OF THE 25TH SILVER JUBILLEE) ANNIVERSARY OF THE NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMMISSION. TRANSCORP HILTON HOTEL, ABUJA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24TH, 2017.
On behalf of members of the Board of Management (BOM), and our staff, spread over Ten Zonal Offices and 24 State Offices across Nigeria, I will like to welcome you all to this special day, in the history of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC). Twenty-Five years ago, today, in 1992, Nigeria’s broadcasting industry’s regulatory body was established. The background was clear. Broadcasting could no longer be the monopoly of the Nigerian state, in the context of the increasingly open socio-economic ambience within the world was being organized. Citizens in countries, even in the post-colonial countries, were becoming more assertive; asking questions about the organization of their societies; they were claiming the right to establish broadcasting outfits, to further public discourse, as well as avenues for entrepreneurial engagement. Nigeria was under military rule at the time, but it was not lost even on the military administration, that our country, could not be an exception to an international trend. If the vision was to create open economies, then there was no way, that we could maintain a broadcasting environment, which was not open up to the participation of Nigerians: intrepid entrepreneurs and always very assertive of our rights to open debate and discourse, about the nation’s development process.
It was within this context, that the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), was established. An open, broadcasting sector, must also have in place a regulatory institution, to license; monitor and regulate the industry. It is to the eternal credit of the pioneer leadership of the NBC, led by Dr. Tom Adaba, that operating from a background of a solid professional pedigree, and with a determination to create this new regulatory institution, on a firm footing, to provide the ambience that nurtured the newly opened ambience of a de-regulated broadcasting industry. They worked firmly and fairly, not only to build the Commission, but to ensure that broadcasting followed the straight and narrow path, which the Nigeria Broadcasting Code, prescribed. We cannot over-emphasize the unique work done over the past 25 years, by all the Directors-General, Directors and the dedicated generations of staff.
Today, the National Broadcasting Commission regulates a broadcasting industry that has grown exponentially, and has become a major force on the African continent. We are leading the process towards the transition from Analogue to Digital Broadcasting. Pursuit to that, in April 2016, a pilot phase of that transition was commenced in Jos, Plateau State. We offered a multiplex of 15 television channels to the people on the Plateau; a process that taught us lessons, about the possibilities and challenges of an actual Digital Broadcasting switch on. Lessons learnt from that pilot phase, were taken onboard, in the decision we took, to do the switch over in the FCT, in December, 2016.
In Abuja, we offered two multiplexes of 30 television channels. What was unique in Abuja, was the fact that it was launched by President Muhammadu Buhari, represented by Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo. And the main kernel of that event, was the statement made openly, that the Buhari Administration is irrevocably committed to the Digital switch over in Nigeria. Not only that, President Muhammadu Buhari has consistently asserted that Nigeria is going to leverage on the new Digital Revolution to create a national digital economy, targeted at creating opportunities and accesses for our country’s very creative young people. At the NBC, the work we are doing on the platform of digital broadcasting, flows DIRECTLY from President Muhammadu Buhari’s vision, for a digital economy that works for Nigeria’s young population. By the time we conclude the transition from Analogue to Digital Broadcasting in Nigeria, the Buhari administration would have created millions of new jobs; while a new platform of television viewership experience would also have been given to all the Nigerian people.
Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen;
We have also finished work on the review of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code. That is the instrument that regulates our industry. All licensees of the NBC operate on the basis of the letters of our CODE. And by the time that newly-reviewed instrument is presented publicly to the industry, Nigerians would discover that we have included three new innovations. These concern the Nature of Local Content, to assist in the protection of creative jobs within the Nigerian Economy; we also made new regulations about advertising spend for the development of the Nigerian sports industry and finally, we defined and provided sanctions against Hate and Dangerous Speech. That final piece, came from a major study carried out for the NBC on Hate and Dangerous Speech, by a major Nigerian consortium of intellectuals. It is this realization of the danger which Hate and Dangerous Speech pose to our national well-being, that made us choose our theme for this year’s event.
On a final note, I want to thank His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, for accepting to be the Special Guest of Honour today. When I called him a few months ago, he readily agreed to honour us at the NBC. The role that the Sultan has continued to play, for the development of our country, remains most admirable. He brings the power of his moral authority to assisting in the difficult duty of nation building. We are very glad, Your Eminence, that you accepted our invitation. I want to seek your indulgences, to particularly recognize a modest, self-effacing Special Guest, who played a very critical role in the broadcasting tradition of Nigeria. If you remember Siene All-Well Browne; John Momoh; Soni Irabor; Yori Folarin, and generations of distinguished broadcast announcers and newsreaders on radio and television; these great names that we all loved to listen to on radio or watch on television, were taught PHONETICS and Presentation, by a woman that we have invited to this event today. I had the privilege of having been taught at the Radio Nigeria Training School’s Language Laboratory, 39 years ago, as a young Announcer, by the same woman. I speak English the way I do today, because I was taught basic phonetics, by Mrs. Stella Awani!
NBC’s 25th Anniversary today, also coincides with the birthday of His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto. Happy Birthday to Your Eminence.We cannot have a better coincidence!
Thank You Very Much for Your Attention!

AT&T Announces an Investment of More Than $5.3B in Georgia Networks During 2015-2017
At AT&T, we’ve invested nearly $5.3 billion in our Georgia wireless and wired networks during 2015-2017. These investments boost reliability, coverage, speed and overall performance for residents and businesses. They also improve critical services that support public safety and first responders.
“In my time as governor, we have attracted and supported companies that are committed to investing in Georgia and improving the quality of life for our citizens through innovation and expansion,” said Governor Nathan Deal. “By helping to deliver broadband to rural classrooms and partnering with the state on FirstNet to help first responders, AT&T continues to invest in Georgia’s communities and people. These partnerships and long-term initiatives, including the expansion of AT&T’s wireless and wired networks, are critical for Georgia to maintain its distinction as the No. 1 state in which to do business and remain the best place to live, work and raise a family.”
“Governor Deal has created an environment that welcomes this level of investment from AT&T and others in the private sector,” said Georgia Chamber of Commerce President & CEO Chris Clark. “But, we must remember that the communications industry is rapidly changing. Georgia must remove barriers to infrastructure deployment – to pave the way for small cell deployment and future technologies such as 5G and AirGig – in order to ensure that our residents and businesses in communities across Georgia enjoy the type connectivity they need, both today and in the future.”
The AT&T LTE network now covers more than 400 million people in North America. In 2017, AT&T made over 4,300 wireless network upgrades in Georgia, including the construction and activation of 32 new cell sites. Notable Georgia network enhancements in 2017 included more than 2,700 LTE capacity adds to over 2,700 cell sites across Georgia.
By building out our 4G LTE network, we’re laying the foundation for 5G, the next advance in network technologies. We’re boosting network speeds and capacity, as we continue to expand the availability of our network using the latest technology.
“Our customers are the reason AT&T exists. And, being a part of enhancing and connecting their lives with new technology and services is why we are here,” said Bill Leahy, president of AT&T Georgia. “The significant investments AT&T is making in Georgia allows our tens of thousands of AT&T employees who call Georgia home to expand our fiber network and bring a host of new, innovative opportunities to keep communities and first responders connected, drive economic growth and spur job creation.”
Since the formation of the FirstNet public-private partnership a little over a year ago, governors from all 50 states, 5 territories and D.C. recognized the value of FirstNet, joining in its mission to strengthen and modernize public safety’s communications capabilities.
FirstNet is a new nationwide communications platform dedicated to America’s public safety community. As we build, deploy and evolve FirstNet, we will build upon our current and planned investments in Georgia to help ensure public safety’s network delivers the coverage and cutting-edge capabilities first responders expect – today and for decades to come.
For the 4th year in a row, AT&T earned the top spot in the telecommunications industry on FORTUNE’s Most Admired Companies list in 2018. We also placed No. 49 among the 50 most admired companies across all industries.
We were ranked first or second in all 9 attributes used to compile the list, including innovation, people management, quality of management, long-term investment value, quality of products/services and global competitiveness.
Our internet offerings
We continue to expand the scope of our ultra-fast internet powered by AT&T Fiber. We now market our ultra-fast internet service powered by AT&T Fiber to more than 850,000 customer locations in the Georgia area.
We have the largest fiber network within our 21-state wireline footprint. And AT&T is the largest U.S.-based provider of fiber for business services, creating an unparalleled ability to serve businesses of all sizes.
We also now market a 1 gigabit connection on our 100% fiber network to 9 million locations across 71 major metro areas nationwide. We plan to reach at least 14 million locations across at least 84 metro areas by mid-2019 for consumers.
Additionally, AT&T Fixed Wireless Internet for rural and underserved locations is now available to more than 27,000 residents and small businesses in parts of the following 46 Georgia Counties: Appling, Baker, Bleckley, Burke, Butts, Carroll, Chattahoochee, Cook, Crisp, Decatur, Dodge, Echols, Elbert, Emanuel, Evans, Fulton, Grady, Greene, Hancock, Haralson, Jasper, Jeff Davis, Jefferson, Jenkins, Johnson, Lamar, Lanier, Laurens, Lee, Lowndes, McDuffie, Miller, Mitchell, Monroe, Morgan, Pierce, Pike, Sumter, Thomas, Toombs, Twiggs, Ware, Warren, Washington, Wayne and Worth.
Fixed Wireless Internet service delivers an internet connection with download speeds of at least 10Mbps and upload speeds of at least 1Mbps. The connection comes from a wireless tower to a fixed antenna on a customer’s home or business. This is an efficient way to deliver high-quality, high-speed Internet to customers living in underserved rural areas.
The towers used to provide this service are connected to AT&T’s network using AT&T fiber optics. AT&T has nearly 4.7 million strand miles of AT&T fiber optics covering Georgia, which enables the company to offer a wide variety of products and services delivering the high-speed connectivity Georgia businesses and residents need.

By David Lange November 4, 2015, 4:00 pm
Sanjit Sethi, the inaugural director of the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design spoke on Wednesday about his past experiences and laid out plans for the future of the school in an address to faculty, alumni, and students at Corcoran’s Jack Hammer Auditorium.
Sethi talked about his graduate work at MIT, in which he installed devices like air pumps and sand dispensers to his feet and recorded how they changed his interaction with the cityscape around him. He also spoke about his time as a Fulbright scholar in India working with transient construction workers and his more recent work with contested space and the architecture of inversion.
As director of the Corcoran, Sethi promises to “be doing a lot of listening, doing a lot of learning, and doing a lot of talking to people.” He said this will help the school produce the next generation of cultural leaders. In addition, he asserted his commitment to strengthening and reevaluating existing partnerships that the school enjoys as well as expanding international outreach and creating new partnerships around the city, country, and world.
Sethi made clear that his focus on enhancing academics would be based on improved pedagogy, research, and practical design while focusing on what he referred to as the “DNA of the Corcoran.” He said that this will carry on the legacy of the school and create a long-lasting vibe of artistic excellence.

Gilbert & Sullivan Company of El Paso
Aug 02-Aug 04, 2019
FRI AUG 2 | 7:30 PM
SAT AUG 3 | 7:30 PM
SUN AUG 4 | 2:30 PM
NOTE: Friday and Saturday 7:30 start times are different than normal
A hilarious farce of sentimental pirates, bumbling policemen, dim-witted young lovers, and an eccentric Major-General await you in Gilbert & Sullivan's musical masterpiece. The Pirates of Penzance, or The Slave of Duty, a comic operetta, is the tale of Frederic who has been indentured to a band of "gentlemanly" pirates until his 21st birthday. Frederic's nursemaid was hard of hearing and was supposed to apprentice the youth to a ship's pilot, not pirate. Upon his release he meets - and instantly falls in love with - Mabel, daughter of Major-General Stanley. Unfortunately, Frederic learns he was born on February 29th, so technically he has but one birthday every four years and is bound to fulfill his apprenticeship for yet another 63 years. Mabel agrees to wait faithfully for his return. The pirates to whom Frederic is apprenticed were all orphans, so they are unwilling to plunder and pillage any fellow orphans. Of course, news of this character flaw is widely known, making them very unsuccessful pirates. Madcap antics fill out the show with the Major-General saving Mabel and his other daughters from the pirates, Frederic's misplaced sense of duty, the not so "with it" team of police, absurd logic generously applied to spice it up, and of course a very "happily ever after" conclusion.
The Pirates of Penzance- in all its silliness - is directed by Stephanie J. Conwell with piano accompaniment by Ballard Coldwell.
The Gilbert & Sullivan Company of El Paso is a community theater group that has an unbroken history of annual Gilbert & Sullivan productions since 1969 when it was founded by its first artistic director, Joan P. Quarm (dec.), to preserve and present the works of W.S. Gilbert & Arthur Sullivan. The company is funded and supported in part by the City of El Paso Museums and Cultural Affairs Department and the Texas Commission on the Arts.

Vasily Gudin: “Our guys beat the Norwegians”
Anastasia Bryzgalova and Alexander Krushelnitsky’s coach commented on the team’s victory over Norway in the bronze match of the Olympic games.
– You don’t seem like a sentimental person, but I saw you almost crying when the guys won.
– When was the last time you cried?
I don’t know. I don’t remember.
– The victory in the world Cup caused such emotions?
It’s different, it’s fast. The semi-finals, then the finals, there was no time to cry. Night game, sleep, semifinals in the morning , then a break to drink tea, eat cookies. It was different. All these expectations, experiences, and even yesterday’s game…
– Well, are you happy now?
At the moment yes.
– Did you see yesterday’s throw in your dream?
– The guys.
I don’t think they slept at all.
– Did Nastya’s fall scare you?
No, I did not have time to worry. She stood up, smiled, and I knew it was okay.
– What was the idea of a time-out in the final end?
We’ve been a long time together. We know each other, trust each other. In sports, we do not hide anything from each other. That was the idea. They called to help the man who has been working with them for three years. They themselves knew what to do. But they needed a man simply to support and share the responsibility.
– How would you comment the game?
The game was completely under the control of our team. What other comments could there be? The key point was when we made a mistake and they didn’t take advantage. And after that our guys did not let the Norwegians ahead. The key point is the start, 3: 0.
– Can we say that this is one of the best matches they played at a high level?
Yeah. If you take the world Championships and the Olympic Games, then, of course, yes.
– Maybe even the best?
You know, the semifinals and finals at the world championship were probably the best.
– Russian Curling never had Olympic medals yet. Do you feel like you’re making history?
Of course, I do. And we have been doing it since 2016. We were the first to win gold at the world championship befor. Sure we do.
– They’re a couple. Does it make the job easier or harder?
With these guys it makes it easier. There is some mutual understanding. I don’t know how it happened. There was a new set of players, all talked, offered to change partners, all agreed. We started talking with Nastya and Sasha, they said, that they were not going to change. We’ll play only like this. Okay, okay. We – coaches – believed in them, they believed in us. No innuendo, it was all fair. They had to go a hard way to get to the top, but they were not abandoned, they supported. And they believed.
– They sometimes turn on each other…
It’s bad. Look, in the last two Games they stopped doing that and the quality of the game immediately increased.
– Did you make any conclusions from what has happened? After all, you hoped for more.
Yes, of course. We have to deal with the nerves. We worked with psychologists. Do not you think that we have abandoned this work. It means that something somewhere was missing.
– Did your heart gave a leap when the Norwegians’ ‘gift’ in the seventh end?
Well I thought that we won already. And it’s all vice versa. With the Swiss team we had positive difference in personal games, but with the Norwegians on the contrary negative. Two times they lost in the finals. But today the Norwegians’ were absolutely uncertain. Our guys crushed them.
– If before the Olympics you were told that we would win bronze, what would you feel?
I’d say I want better results. I can definitely say that these guys were worthy to play in the final.

Interview with Joe Decuir
It’s time to go back to where it all began. Our guest this week was instrumental in designing and bringing the original Atari 2600 console into our lives, as well as the pack in game, Combat. Of course, we are talking to Joe Decuir this week. Prepare yourself to take an amazing walk through history and discover what the Atari 2600 could have been.
It’s hard to image video games being as successful as they are today if it wasn’t for multiplayer. Although many games are successful as single player experiences, playing against another human in a game adds an element of competition that just can’t exist in any other way. While Pong certainly lead the multiplayer arena in the arcade (and eventually at home) there is little doubt that the Atari 2600 wouldn’t have been as successful as it was if it was not for Combat, a pack-in game developed by Atari and released in 1977.
Combat was both a tank game (inspired by an earlier Atari title appropriately named Tank) and an airplane game, allowing you to fight with Biplanes and Jets. Combat allowed for multi-directional shooting and came with 27 different variations on the single cartridge, providing different modes for the player.
The game was programmed by Joe Decuir (who would later design and program Video Olympics before becoming an early employee at Amiga computer) and Larry Kaplan who would later head to Activision and Amiga, among other companies.
Technically, Combat is impressive in that it packs the gameplay it has into a mere 2 kilobytes. That’s smaller than most e-mails that the average person sends today so you can imagine how tiny this was.
Combat was included as the pack-in cartridge with the Atari 2600 system until 1982 and eventually, a sequel called Combat 2 was in development in 1983 but because of the great video game crash of 1984 it was eventually cancelled.
The game was also called Tank Plus for the Sears version and in Canada, Zellers sold a version of it called Frontline. No matter what you call it, it is certainly, by today’s standards, a lost treasure.
Combat can be found on a number of compilation packages including the Game Room on the Xbox 360 and of course it also plays pretty well on an emulator so make sure you give it a whirl with someone you are dying to have a great competition with.

Trade group airs ads to boost five senators facing reelection
no deposit bonus forex.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/08144934/GettyImages-501449582.jpg” alt=”Bill Cassidy” class=”wp-image-31671″ srcset=”https://cdn1.no deposit bonus forex.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/08144934/GettyImages-501449582.jpg 720w, https://cdn1.no deposit bonus forex.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/08144934/GettyImages-501449582-300×200.jpg 300w” sizes=”(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px”>
Senators Bill Cassidy (R-La.) (left) and Chris Coons (D-Del.) talk in the Capitol in 2015. The American Chemistry Council is running ads in support of both senators, who are up for reelection in 2020.
A trade group representing chemical companies will spend more than $150,000 on advertising during July in support of four Republican senators and one Democrat, all of whom face reelection in 2020.
The American Chemistry Council, which represents nearly 200 companies including DuPont, Chevron Phillips and ExxonMobil, is running TV and radio ads in Alaska, Delaware, Louisiana, Montana and South Dakota between July 8 and 21, according to Federal Communications Commission records accessed via no deposit bonus forex’ political ad database. Sens. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.) and Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) all face reelection next year.
The ads that mention Cassidy, Daines and Rounds praise the three senators for tax cuts. Sullivan receives recognition for ocean cleanup, while Coons is applauded for his sustainability efforts. All of the ads end by encouraging viewers to call their senators and thank them.
For each ad, FCC records list either the 2020 Senate election or the name of a senator facing reelection as the political matter of national importance. The ads are framed as issue advocacy, as they stop short of explicitly advocating for or against a candidate, and they air outside of the window before elections when electioneering communications are required to be disclosed. Therefore, the spending does not need to be reported to the Federal Elections Commission.
Sixteen months ahead of the general election, it is unclear who will be challenging the five senators. No candidate has filed to run against Cassidy or Coons, while two independent candidates have filed against Sullivan. The mayor of Helena, Mont., has filed to challenge Daines, though many expect Gov. Steve Bullock to enter the race as well if his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination falls short. Former South Dakota state Sen. Scyller Borglum has announced a primary challenge against Rounds.
The plurality of the currently identified July advertising money, nearly $69,000, will be spent in South Dakota, where the council will run more than 300 spots. The council endorsed Rounds when he ran for the state’s open Senate seat in 2014 and ran independent ads on his behalf, calling the Republican a “proven leader” who “supports small business.” Rounds easily won that race.
The organization will also spend about $55,000 in Alaska, $31,000 in Montana, and $6,400 in Louisiana, according to FCC filings. The advertisements will air on shows including CBS This Morning and Face the Nation. Their target audience is adults over the age of 35. No stations in Delaware have reported carrying ads about Coons, but the council said in a press release that it is running them.
In past election cycles, the chemistry council has supported candidates from both major parties, though it has generally given more to Republicans. During the 2018 midterm cycle, its PAC gave $195,000 to Democrats and $354,000 to Republicans. The Democrats who received the most from the PAC in 2018 were Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.) and former Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.), who received $8,500 and $9,000, respectively.
The council’s president and CEO is former Rep. Calvin Dooley (D-Calif.), who retired from Congress in 2005 and joined the organization in 2008. Dooley received thousands of dollars from the council’s PAC when he was running for reelection in the early 2000s.
In addition to contributions to candidates through its PAC, the council itself spent heavily on “issue ads” about the “economy and regulations” in 2018, according to FCC filings. The group spent nearly $2.5 million on independent expenditures during the 2018 election cycle, $900,000 of which was classified as electioneering communications.
The council is a 501(c)(6) organization, so IRS rules state that politics cannot be its primary purpose. The rule has generally been interpreted to mean that up to 49.9 percent of any 501(c)(6) group’s expenditures may go toward politics. This interpretation allows the council, which had a revenue of $121 million in 2017 according to IRS filings, to spend millions of dollars on politics.
The council is not required to disclose its donors, and does not do so voluntarily. It has received contributions from the American Petroleum Institute in past years, according to grants disclosed in IRS records examined by no deposit bonus forex.
The council also spent nearly $1.3 million on lobbying during the first quarter of 2019. The organization, like many trade groups, has spoken out against tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump and in favor of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.
This spring, the group was critical of laws passed in Maine and Vermont that banned the use of certain chemicals and materials in food packaging. It supported a Japanese initiative to reduce plastic leakage into the world’s oceans.
In 2016, the council supported the landmark reform of the Toxic Substances Control Act, which passed with bipartisan support and was signed by President Barack Obama. The reforms, known as the Lautenberg Chemical Safety Act, gave the EPA increased authority to ban potentially dangerous chemicals. The act received pushback from some environmental groups for failing to provide the agency with sufficient funding to effectively review chemicals and requiring the agency to consider the cost to companies when deciding whether to eliminate a harmful chemical.

Woman Who Urged Boyfriend to Kill Himself Gets Jail Sentence But Remains Free Pending Appeal
by Inside Edition 3:44 PM EDT, August 3, 2017
Playing Woman Who Urged Boyfriend to Kill Himself Gets Jail Sentence But Remains Free Pending Appeal
The young woman who encouraged her boyfriend to kill himself in a series of text messages was sentenced to two and a half years in prison Thursday but will remain free pending appeal.
Read: Conrad Roy's Mom Speaks Out After Michelle Carter Conviction: 'She Knew Exactly What She Was Doing'
The judge ruled Michelle Carter, 20, would be eligible for probation after 15 months and gave her five years of probation. But the sentence was stayed and Carter will remain free on bail while her appeal makes its way through the courts.
In June, Carter was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of 18-year-old Conrad Roy III in 2014.
As Carter walked free Thursday, there was anger from the Roy family outside the courtroom.
"You don't want to know our thoughts on today," one relative said to reporters. "Go interview her tomorrow while she's at f***ing Disney World!"
Juvenile Court Judge Lawrence Moniz added that Carter could not have any contact with Roy's family unless in a legal matter.
The grieving family gave impact statements before the sentencing.
"She has not shown any remorse," Roy's father said. He added that his son was his best friend.
Her lawyers argued that Carter posed no threat to the public.
Roy was found dead in a black pickup truck in 2014. The windows were closed, and a gas-fueled generator was in the back seat. The cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning.
At the heart of the case were chilling text messages and phone calls from then-17-year-old Carter in the days leading up to Roy’s suicide.
“No more thinking. You need to just do it,” she texted Roy. “Just park your car and sit there and it will take, like, 20 minutes. It's not a big deal."
“No more pushing it off,” she said in a subsequent text. “No more waiting.”
But the text that sealed her fate was one she sent to a girlfriend, who read it aloud during the trial.

“I could have stopped him, I was on the phone and he got out of the car because it was working and he got scared and I f***ing told him to get back in,” her friend read out loud in court.
Roy revealed in a video diary recorded a month before his death that he had a history of depression.
“The hardest thing for me is to be comfortable in my own skin," he said. "A lot of people tell me I have a lot going for me. I have to be happy. I have to be happy.”

Irene Rice Pereira
Masts (c.1934)
Pier (c.1934)
One of the early members of the American Abstract Artists group, Irene Rice Pereira’s work was significantly shaped by her efforts to merge machine-age materials with her artwork and ideas that technology, art, and philosophy could be brought together as a social function. Pereira strove to express the idea of infinity within the context of an increasingly dynamic scientific society. She articulated these philosophical theorems not only through her art but also through her writing, lectures, teaching, and poetry.
Born in 1902 in Chelsea, Massachusetts Irene Rice Pereira began studying art as a young girl, later attending the Art Students League in New York at night while she worked during the day to help support her family. Although she ultimately married three times, Pereira kept her first husband's last name. Early in her career she adopted the gender ambiguous title of I. Rice Pereira in order to avoid the stigma of being a creative and working female. In addition to her artwork Pereira wrote extensively throughout her life, producing ten books of poems and essays. Near the end of her life she became Honorary Poet Laureate of the United Poets Laureate International, while in the United States she was recognized more for her lectures on artistic philosophy, especially those addressing structure, time, optics, and space. Her travels in the 1930s to Europe and Northern Africa, particularly to the Sahara desert and Morocco, significantly influenced the development of the compositional style and aesthetic philosophy that would define her work as an artist, lecturer, and socio-political activist throughout her lifetime.
Pereira’s early works have at times been compared with the works of Charles Sheeler and Charles Demuth because of her focus on industry coupled with her fundamentally abstractionist compositions. However, hers is a comparison that may be over-simplified. Pereira's motivations for depicting industry, and the ultimate trajectory of her technical and aesthetic development are radically different from the precisionist methodologies employed by Sheeler and Demuth. The early 1930s for Pereira were taken up with the incorporation and interpretation of industrial values, which were then sweeping the nation. As the decade progressed, Pereira's sympathies with the industrial movement shifted to the social plights facing the average American citizen. In he last years of the 1930s, Pereira focused on social realist painting.
In 1935 Pereira helped found, and became a faculty member of, the Design Laboratory, an industrial arts school in New York City. Her work began to incorporate the abstract synthesis of functionalism, and the avant-garde theory inspired by the artist Dessau Bauhaus. In the 1940s and 1950s, already known for her use of vibrant colors, interlocking forms, and flat palettes, Pereira gained new artistic insight and recognition for her unique technical manipulations of light on glass and parchment. She had spent two years as a museum assistant at the Museum of Non-Objective Painting, where she experimented intensely with a variety of unconventional materials such as mica, string, toy parts, glyptal resin, sand, tape, wood, plastic, glass, trapezoidal canvas and parchment, box and electrified frames. According to her writings, it was here that she began to believe that “symbols are essences of the properties of space.” [1]
Throughout the 1950s and 60s Pereira solidified her own voice both in her paintings and writings. Her abstractions of this period were a true reflection of her philosophical ideas combined with the technical mastery she had developed throughout her career. At the end of 1970, Pereira retired to Marbella, Spain where she died only a few weeks later in at the age of 69. A retrospective exhibition of Pereira’s work was held in 1953 at the Whitney Museum in New York City and her works are held by many museums including the Art Institute of Chicago, Smithsonian National Museum of American Art, Guggenheim, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Corcoran, and the Norton Museum of Art.

Precarious Work in Toronto Public Library: Toronto’s Challenge
Film on Precarious Work:
City Council’s neglect of Our Public Library regrettably extends to the people who work there. Precarious Work at the Toronto Public Library: Toronto’s Challenge reveals both the dedication to public service and the struggle to make ends meet by the 50 per cent of TPL workers who work in jobs that are part-time, insecure and without the normal benefits, including pensions, of most other City workers.
This informative and emotional short film (19 minutes) features three such library workers, their union president, Maureen O’Reilly, City Councillor and Youth and Equity Advocate Joe Cressy and pioneering McMaster University labour economist Dr. Wayne Lewchuck. A must see for those who care about Our Public Library.
Our Public Library
The above video is a specially-commissioned (and sometimes provocative!) animated short film on the Toronto Public Library by James Braithwaite and Josh Raskin, who were nominated for an 2008 Academy Award for their video on a 1969 John Lennon interview by a 14-year-old, I Met the Walrus. The video won a 2009 Emmy Award and a 2010 YouTube/ Guggenheim Award.
Our Public Library is narrated by Toronto’s 2006 Scotiabank Giller Award Winner Dr. Vincent Lam. (4 min), Vincent Lam’s most recent book, The Headmaster’s Wager, is both a Canadian and International bestseller.

Jawaharlal Nehru Road (earlier known as Chowringhee Road), in the Chowringhee neighbourhood, is the arterial road running from the eastern fringes of Esplanade southwards up to the crossing with Lower Circular Road (renamed Acharya Jagadish Bose Road), in the city of Calcutta, India. It is the single most important road of the metropolis of Kolkata. It was renamed after Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first Prime Minister.
Arguably one of the first roads in the city, prior to the coming of the British, the road used to link the villages of Kalighat and Chowringhee. The village of Chowringhee was named after a Jain religious figure of those days, and the name stuck on in spite of the British rule and was changed only after the independence of India.
After the British started expanding their settlement outside the Fort area in the mid-18th century, the area around Chowringhee was one of the first expansions. And the same area remained their pride and commercial centre until their departure in 1947. During the early British developments around the Chowringhee area, they built huge bungalows and houses all along the eastern end of the road, thus earning Kolkata the sobriquet - 'City of Palaces'. It was really a wonderful era of Kolkata, which came to be the second city of the British empire. Rows of huge palatial houses flanked by gardens and the area along the western edge of the road was a huge open area called the Maidan. The Maidan was intentionally kept open and...

Oh sleep, it's one of my favorite things in the world, yet it has always been a real challenge for me. I have been on and off of sleep medication for seven years. For me, the hardest part is actually falling asleep. Well on Whole30 I fell asleep naturally. The first few days, I would be so exhausted by bedtime that I would fall asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, and that continued the whole month. This was probably the most drastic and exciting change that I experienced on Whole30.
I was very excited to get this book but am putting this in the "just ok" category. That said, I'm normally a huge Whole 30 fan and use the recipes from the Whole30: 30 Day Guide... all the time. Something that I appreciated from the 30 Day Guide was the simplicity of the recipes, most were kid friendly and included lots of one pot meals that work for busy people. That is not the case with the new recipe book.
2) There is a big step up in the use of tree nuts in the cookbook. I never really got why tree nuts would be included in an anti-inflammatory diet when they are one of the more common allergens. Aside from that, I'm super allergic to tree nuts (need an epi-pen) so this was, personally, lame for me. Nuts were easy to avoid in 30 Day Guide but many more recipes include them in the cookbook.
If you have been in a state of dependency on food--be it sugars, alcohol, chips, ice cream, just about anything--or if you have been unwell, unsuited to the world physically or emotionally--or, if you simply feel blah and would like to lose a little bit of weight--please consider trying this program. You might think, "I don't eat that badly! I eat a lot of whole foods!" which is what most people think of themselves (I sure did). But when you actually make a conscious decision to eliminate foods from your diet, you will see that even the small amounts of crap that you've been eating regularly matter. Prepare to be amazed. I sound like an evangelical, I know. It's a little embarrassing. But it is all true.
I believe the 2019 open is an epic fail. While I agree, CrossFit is a world wide sport, showcasing athletes from every country the new format leaves me confused and has deflated my motivation to compete this year. Like most professional sports, the media experience drives the interest of the fans for each competition. You don’t see other major sports get rid of their media teams in the hopes of attracting new fans in other countries. Those countries develop their own media teams for content, broadcasting etc. I’ve been a cross fit athlete before it was “cool” and have been a level 1 certified trainer. I looked forward to the open because it brought the “average” athlete into the world only few see. The announcements are weak, in another language and of poor content. Was this really your best option, scrap the entire media staff? Which in turn meant you took away all of usual vidoes, blogs, vlogs, articles etc. we’ve grown accustom to seeing each year. I’m disappointed because you’re better than that, smarter as a brand. Imagine the NFL, MLB, NBA (because that’s where Cross Fit was heading as a brand) get rid of all media content to boost global attention by taking away everything the fans used, looked forward to and relied on for information across each media domain. It’s virtual brand suicide. Just like your affiliates, which pop up at every available garage door….you develop media teams for each nation. You don’t scrap what’s working and alienate your core audience.
Level One (CF-L1) is the introduction level, where participants attend a group weekend class, talk about the basic methodology and fundamentals of CrossFit, and learn how to conduct their own classes. They go over techniques and how to adjust them for those who cannot perform them. After completing the Level One training course, one should be confident in conducting a class, scale workouts accordingly for athletes, and hold CrossFit to its standards.[50] In the second level, training goes deeper into the mechanics of the movements and how to be leaders and communicate with other students. In the Level Two course, participants learn about athletic capacity and are evaluated as a trainer in groups.[51] In order to earn the Level Three certificate, a coach one must complete 1,500 hours of active fitness coaching and become CPR certified. To earn the Level Four certificate, the highest level currently recognized by CrossFit, Inc., the coach must record several years as a Level Three and pass a test.[52]
"The struggle is a normal, necessary part of the process. Changing your food is hard. Changing your habits is even harder. Changing your relationship with food is the hardest part of all. The process requires struggle—it’s how you know you’re growing—but don’t make it harder than it has to be! There is no such thing as the 'perfect Whole30,' so if your beef isn’t grass-fed or your travel meal doesn’t look exactly like our meal template, don’t sweat it. Your only job is to stick to the Whole30 rules for 30 days, and some days, you’ll have to let good enough be good enough. When you do struggle, remember why you took on the program in the first place, and don’t be overwhelmed by the big picture—just focus on the next day, or the next meal. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it, and high-five yourself for the victories you’re achieving every day you’re on the program, no matter how small. Even tiny progress is progress."
No background science here or lengthy explanations, only 15 easy guidelines to follow to kick-start your Paleo journey. It’s up to you to decide to what extent you want to follow those guidelines, but if you follow them 100% you can be assured that you are eating the best food for your body and greatly investing in your long term health and well-being.
On that spring day across America, the CrossFit faithful gathered--and toiled. There were hundreds of thousands of them, certainly. Maybe a million, maybe two. In an old industrial facility in New Orleans, they hoisted themselves on gymnastic rings and did dips up there. In a strip mall in Santa Cruz, California, they threw 20-pound medicine balls against a wall over and over again. In a business park near the Dulles airport in Virginia, they pushed weighted barbells above their heads, first once a minute, and then as fast as they could for three minutes straight--or until they couldn't lift their arms.
If you find that you eat more than you planned at dinner, and don’t have any leftovers, my fallback is always Chicken Salad, tuna salad, egg salad, or a simple green salad. Something simple and you can’t go wrong with any of those. I didn’t include ingredients in the Grocery List for these extras, but maybe something to keep on hand just in case, you know?
Between 2009 and 2018, competitors qualified for the Games through participation at CrossFit Games regional events. For the 2019 Games, CrossFit, Inc. discontinued hosting the Regional qualifier and instead sanctioned independent fitness events as qualifiers separate from the Open. Most of the sanctioned events were already widely participated in by CrossFit Games athletes, often used as a part of off-season training, around the world. Each sanctioned event has its own rules for participation, but athletes that attend the sanctioned events are either by invite or through the event's qualification process.
The aspects of the paleo diet that advise eating fewer processed foods and less sugar and salt are consistent with mainstream advice about diet.[1] Diets with a paleo nutrition pattern have some similarities to traditional ethnic diets such as the Mediterranean diet that have been found to be healthier than the Western diet.[3][6] Following the paleo diet, however, can lead to nutritional deficiencies such as those of vitamin D and calcium, which in turn could lead to compromised bone health;[1][20] it can also lead to an increased risk of ingesting toxins from high fish consumption.[3]
For most people the fact the Paleo diet delivers the best results is all they need. Improved blood lipids, weight loss, and reduced pain from autoimmunity is proof enough. Many people however are not satisfied with blindly following any recommendations, be they nutrition or exercise related. Some folks like to know WHY they are doing something. Fortunately, the Paleo diet has stood not only the test of time, but also the rigors of scientific scrutiny.
I’m so excited to have stumbled across your blog and your meal plans. I’ve been wanting to do the whole 30 for a while, but as a busy Mom and dayhome provider I didn’t want to put even more time and effort into increasing recipe sizes and altering grocery lists to accommodate more than one person. Since you’ve done the work for me for a family of 5 I can’t make any more excuses!
The CrossFit Games is an athletic competition sponsored by Crossfit Inc.[1] and Reebok.[2] The competition has been held every summer since 2007. Athletes at the Games compete in workouts that they learn about hours or days beforehand, consisting mostly of an assortment of standard aerobic, weightlifting, and gymnastics movements, as well as some additional surprise elements that are not part of the typical CrossFit regimen such as obstacle courses, ocean swimming, softball throwing, or ascending a pegboard.[3][4] The CrossFit Games stylizes their individual winners as the "Fittest on Earth".[5]
For many years Arthur De Vany Ph.D. has been writing a book called Evolutionary Fitness on "What Evolution Teaches Us About How to Live and Stay Healthy." The diet he follows fits into my core diet definition. He may have been the first one to use the paleo diet to maximize fitness. His current site is Art's Blog on Fitness, Health, Aging, Nutrition and Exercise [archive.org].
It’s also worth noting that athletes who receive a CrossFit Games invitation from a Sanctional event win do not necessarily need to compete in the Open to make it to the Games. Additionally, athletes that place high enough in the Open to receive a bid to the Games, and athletes who are deemed National Champion for their country, will receive no additional benefit (in respects to the Games seeding directly) with a win at a Sanctional event.
Jan Engvald has studied food and health thoroughly in the literature. In Unexpected facts on... food he shows that today's health advice (more or less unchanged for more than 30 years) is a direct cause to the increase in national diseases like coronary heart disease, stroke, cancer, obesity, adult-onset diabetes, allergy, eye diseases, etc. His findings are low-carb and high-fat, close to paleo, though he allows high fat dairy.

Fad diets and "miracle" diet supplements promise to help us lose weight effortlessly.

In that sense, Whole30 has been so helpful in understanding my body. So how am I eating now? I would say that I'm eating pretty "paleo" these days. I definitely still indulge once in a while, with some red wine or french fries, but I haven't been tempted to binge in the slightest. I would definitely do Whole30 again, but I need a bit of a break from it at the moment. Instead, I'm ready for a mindful and moderate approach to my new chapter of life, back in New York City.
He developed wacky routines: He had clients race their way through repetitions on a weight machine, and at one facility, he had them scramble up a 30-foot column in the middle of the room. Eventually, the owner of that gym welded disks to the pole to make him stop. "They added a hazard 15 feet up," Glassman cracked to clients, before signaling them to go up anyway. He got kicked out of that gym. He got kicked out of several gyms. "I've never wanted to be told what to do," Glassman says. "I think it's genetic."
Bob is right on. The only announcement which was even worth watching was the last one because they brought back tommy Marquez and Co. the open this year was an absolute joke. I watched the first one, w high anticipation, laughed my butt off in embarrassment and didn’t watch again until 5 when I heard Marquez was back. Also, good luck w the top athletes from countries with like 10 actual crossfitters. What’s the point of bringing in an athlete who will be ousted in the first 5 min of the games while Brent Filowski sits home? Good call
Here comes the tough love. This is for those of you who are considering taking on this life-changing month, but aren’t sure you can actually pull it off, cheat free, for a full 30 days. This is for the people who have tried this before, but who “slipped” or “fell off the wagon” or “just HAD to eat (fill in food here) because of this (fill in event here).” This is for you.
"Loren Cordain's extensive research demonstrates how modern westernized diets drastically depart from the original diet humans consumed for millions of years. In The Paleo Diet and The Paleo Diet Cookbook, Dr. Cordain shows how diets high in grains, dairy, vegetable oils, salt, and refined sugars are at odds with our genetic legacy and then shares his uncomplicated strategy for losing weight and getting healthy."

Two friends and I discussed the article, and then one proposed something unbelievable: "We should do Whole30 together." After considering what Philipps' had to say about it, I decided to give it a try. Then Health editor in chief Lori Leibovich asked me to document my Whole30 experience with daily video diaries on Health Instagram stories, and I knew there was no turning back. I was about to do my first diet ever.
In December 2005, The New York Times ran a story about the budding CrossFit craze. The reporter interviewed some of the original CrossFitters and chronicled their fitness accomplishments, which were considerable. But the part of the article that grabbed the most attention was the opening anecdote: A first-time CrossFitter named Brian Anderson had experienced a true mess-you-up moment--he had ended up in the emergency room after his baptismal WOD. Repeated kettlebell swings had torn up his lower back to the point that he could barely stand. In intensive care, he was told he had rhabdomyolysis, a condition wherein muscle tissue breaks down to the point that it starts poisoning the kidneys. Rhabdomyolysis is rare as a result of athletics; ultramarathoners sometimes get it, but ER doctors are much more accustomed to finding it in cases of crushed limbs or massive third-degree burns. Anderson didn't need dialysis, but he spent six days on an IV drip in intensive care, followed by two months of physical therapy for his back.
Whole30 is a nutritional program designed to change the way you feel and eat in 30 days. Basically, you have to remove all of the potentially inflammatory foods and beverages in your diet (think: added sugar and sweeteners, alcohol, grains, legumes, dairy, processed foods and beverages, baked goods, and junk foods) and eat three "clean" meals a day, made with Whole30-approved ingredients (think: meats, seafood, veggies, and eggs).
The night before, he had rolled up with his entourage about 20 minutes late to a packed lecture hall of 500 CrossFitters at the University of Washington campus. He had been invited to speak there by the Freedom Foundation, a local libertarian group. Libertarians love CrossFit. It's neither a wholly owned chain of gyms nor a franchise, but the nucleus of a sprawling worldwide network of entrepreneurs. A local CrossFit gym is referred to as a box, because it can be anywhere and any style, and the culture of any box may be nothing like that of Glassman's company, or of any other CrossFit box. Boxes may even have different business models. And yet, there in the audience was the order spawned from the chaos: rows and rows of passionate CrossFitters, united in their love of the WOD, their muscled physiques rippling beneath T-shirts and hoodies.
Cordain argues that chimpanzees and horses avoid meat, and they have big bellies that we would have if we didn’t ditch plants for meat. He also says meat increased human brain size, and decreased stomach size so we can have the six-pack abs that chimps can’t. But I looked at his endnotes with citations to research and couldn’t find the source for these theories. I also couldn’t find research showing that legumes and grains were invented by humans.
Is time-restricted eating effective for weight loss? Time-restricted eating is a diet plan that requires people to limit themselves to only eating during specific hours of the day and then fasting outside of this period. Here, we look at what time-restricted eating is, whether or not it works, and what effect it has on muscle gain. We also provide tips for beginners. Read now

But the truth is--and this is apparent to anyone watching Glassman wile away an afternoon at El Borracho--that CrossFit's success doesn't derive from any conventional business strategy. Glassman doesn't behave the way he's supposed to. Sometimes he rebels out of cunning, other times for the sheer petulant fun of it. Often, it's hard to tell which. As a result, CrossFit is a workout and a company no conventional trainer or M.B.A. would ever have built. Glassman is sitting atop a firecracker of a company. And the relevant question is, as always, What's he going to do now?
At CrossFit Panther City, we believe in a commitment to excellence. We expect excellence in our coaches and we expect a full commitment from our members. When you make the decision to join us in your fitness journey we, in turn, commit ourselves to working just as hard to help you meet your goals. We just ask one thing: show up and give everything you have that given day. We all have days of feeling tired, worn out after a long week, or just downright lazy. Come anyway. You won’t regret it. If you show up and work hard we can assure you that you will get fitter, faster, stronger. That’s our guarantee to you.
This list is going to be a little longer than the last. You cut out all sugar (both real and all substitutes whether natural or artificial, like honey, maple syrup, Splenda, etc.). No grains, legumes (including all forms of soy), dairy, or alcohol. You’re also told to avoid additives like MSG and carrageenan, although that should happen naturally if you’re sticking to whole foods.
As of 2016 there are limited data on the metabolic effects on humans eating a paleo diet, but the data are based on clinical trials that have been too small to have a statistical significance sufficient to allow the drawing of generalizations.[3][6][20][not in citation given] These preliminary trials have found that participants eating a paleo nutrition pattern had better measures of cardiovascular and metabolic health than people eating a standard diet,[3][9] though the evidence is not strong enough to recommend the paleo diet for treatment of metabolic syndrome.[9] As of 2014 there was no evidence the paleo diet is effective in treating inflammatory bowel disease.[21]
An early client of Glassman's described the CrossFit experience as "agony coupled with laughter." Glassman liked that. It was as if his increasingly fit posse had a subversive secret: combinations of exercises that seemed strange and reckless and maybe dangerous to the ignorant. When Elizer, who volunteered to build the website, asked Glassman if he had a logo in mind, Glassman thought about the idea of agony mixed with laughter, then thought about thumbing his nose at all the ho-hum personal trainers he had ever endured. He came up with a vomiting clown. He called it Uncle Pukie.
The WHO trial (so named because the international team of principal investigators contained World Health Organization members) tested the potential of clofibrate, a “pre-statin” cholesterol-lowering agent, to reduce heart attack morbidity and mortality. The investigators ultimately concluded that clofibrate "cannot be recommended as a lipid-lowering drug for community-wide primary prevention of ischaemic heart disease.” Nevertheless, clofibrate remained in use until 2002, when it was pulled for increasing cancer rates. In their review of studies such as the WHO trial, Uffe Ravnskov and David Diamond observe, “Despite the largely disappointing findings from 50 years of cholesterol lower[ing] trials, the indictment and conviction of cholesterol as the causal agent in CVD [cardiovascular disease] has stood the test of time. … [Yet] the grand effort to reduce cholesterol as a strategy to improve health has failed.”

SHOUT! The Mod Musical coming to RFA Lakeside Theater
Encore performance of SHOUT! The Mod Musical
RFA Lakeside Theater
August 30 & 31, 2014 at 7 PM
Rangeley, ME: A nostalgic nod to London’s Swinging Sixties takes to the stage at RFA Lakeside Theater for an Encore performance of SHOUT! The Mod Musical. This popular show will return to Rangeley for two evenings on Labor Day weekend. In May, this amazing show entertained sell-out crowds. What a great way to bookend an amazing diverse RFA arts season in downtown Rangeley.
Tickets available at the Rangeley Lakes Chamber of Commerce on Park Rd. Don’t hesitate!
SHOUT! The Mod Musical is a Broadway musical by Phillip George and David Lowenstein featuring songs from the swinging sixties. The musical features five female singers who are called, Orange, Blue, Green, Yellow and Red.
The show is set in London between the early 1960s and 1970, and follows the lives of five women in their 20’s (The Red Girl), 30’s (Green, Blue, and Yellow girls) and 40’s (Orange girl) who all face tough situations, usually involving relationships. Throughout the story, all five women send letters to Gwendolyn Holmes, who works for the magazine “Shout!” in an advice column and gives them advice on how to deal with said issues.
The Yellow girl is the only American character in the show, who traveled all the way to Britain in order to see Paul McCartney. The Orange woman is shown as a full grown woman who is married, in her forties, and is starting to suspect her husband is cheating on her. The Blue girl is gorgeous and wealthy, and while she can go on and on about how perfect her life is, she does face some questions regarding her sexuality. The Green girl is a bit of a “slut” in the show, always hooking up with many men and throwing innuendos around. Finally, the Red girl is the youngest and most hopeful character; she is a bit hopeless in the beginning, stating she is not good-looking like other girls, until the man of her dreams comes along.
At: RFA Lakeside Theater in downtown Rangeley, Maine
Reserved Seat Tickets ($15) will be available at the Rangeley Lakes Chamber of Commerce on 6 Park Road and at the door. Limited number of seats available.

Stock footage: A brave new world
Round-table participants:
Jessica Berman-Bogdan: president, Global ImageWorks (Haworth, NJ)
Kristl Date-Dopps: director of product marketing, film, Getty Images (Seattle)
Paula Lumbard: founder/CEO, FootageBank HD (Venice, CA)
Jan Ross: senior vice president, BBC Motion Gallery (LA)
Kevin Schaff: CEO, Thought Equity (Denver)
Jocelyn Shearer: director of worldwide sales, National Geographic Digital Motion (Washington, DC)
Gary Shenk: senior vice president, images, Corbis (New York)
The micropayment models popularized by iStockPhoto and others, and the ‘crowdsourcing’ phenomenon, where material is contributed from viewers, are beginning to emerge in the stock footage realm – what impact do you think they’ll have?
Shearer: We’ve created ‘vending machine’ models and online models to somewhat commoditize and lower overall costs and raise margins. It’s going to happen even more quickly than perhaps we’d imagined, because of these new multi-platforms and rich media. And that segues nicely into the subscription and micropayment model question, where you’re going in the direction of: ‘Okay, multimedia has changed the way people consume moving content – what does that mean in terms of the economics of it?’
Ross: What does that mean in terms of the unfiltered access to it as well. As professionals, we are looking at making sure what we’re offering is cleared and has no rights issues, but there’s a new culture, if you will, arising. I think there’s room for both the mainstream and independent markets, but the issue is: can these parallel cultures exist with this unfiltered access that’s going to create a lot of uncertainty in the marketplace in terms of use and rights?
Schaff: I think they can both exist – it’s a matter of timing. Look at accessibility. Today you can get millions of photos online, but you can’t get that with footage, even with the top libraries… The largest online library is only a few hundred thousand clips.
So, if you’re looking at the volume of people and the cost associated with driving things like subscription sites, the accessibility in professional footage isn’t there yet, and that market will have to mature before you see subscription sites take off more effectively.
Date-Dopps: Getty Images recognizes the importance of social media and we see it as the ability to serve all markets at all price points that will drive market growth for the whole imagery industry. The subscription/micropayment model creates a gateway to get a whole different market interested in using imagery in a licensed way that they might not have thought about before. There’s a market that could be tapped through this affordable new model, and that will help us at the top end as well.
Shenk: On the photo side, there are two big impacts of the micropayment model – number one is there’s pricing pressure at the high end. It’s a business model that in and of itself is sustainable but it’s definitely going to impact the ‘traditional’ stock business. Even if it doesn’t displace the customer, it creates the perception of a lower price point.
Secondly, I do think it’s a viable market for a different type of customer. The quality tends to be lower. That’s not always the case, but as you apply it to footage the quality dimension can play out in different ways: the way the content was shot, the quality of how it’s digitized. There’s definitely going to be the market for that type of customer at a lower price point, and I would see that market as a growth opportunity.
Lumbard: For us, the subscription model has been put into place in relation to people licensing materials on an ongoing basis for television programs or that sort of thing. So, our subscription clients are not necessarily someone working at home on their iMac… For footage to be deliverable in a micropayment venue, [such as] the fully uncompressed high-definition materials we work with, the technology that’s going to underlie the delivery of that is still in play.
Ross: The important thing we’re asking here is: ‘What do people want?’ I think it’s a little short-sighted to try to say any more what that is. We’re at an intersection between the commercial and the non-commercial worlds… There are an infinite number of niche markets now. And that’s the exciting part of it. Like everyone says, that’s going to grow the [overall] market.
Berman-Bogdan: The thing I think validates a lot of what we do as commercial archives is there’s such an overabundance of images as a result of all these new people putting all this content out there. It helps to have a place to sort it out, to think it through or to trust, and not get lost in the choices.
How has your company adapted to doing business via the Net?
Schaff: The real driving factors are real-time search, preview and delivery. I’m interested to hear everybody else’s take on this: our tape delivery is down 85% from last year, yet our overall number of files being delivered has increased over 500%. That’s an interesting shift. I’d never have guessed that it would be that radically driven by technology.
Shearer: I can second that. We still have such a huge pile of material on analog that we’re working our way through, as once it’s digitized we can transcode on the fly into any format. But we’re finding we’re having to digitize analog just to send out as previews because the demand is so high.
Are you finding more clients are using hd material, or is there still mystification surrounding the format?
Date-Dopps: We’re seeing an increase in the capture and originating side for HD-created content. It’s happening worldwide.
Lumbard: I started FootageBank four-and-a-half years ago to serve the HD market… We’ve always, as our mandate, had education be a parallel track we take – we’re in our third edition of our format guide. Now we’re finding that the user will say ‘either/or’ – they’d like it in film or HD. We’re also finding that we can be of service for additional conversion issues. We’re getting HD-native content from Africa and Europe shot in 50i format that we then need to convert for the American market.
Ross: I don’t think we’ve seen the tipping point yet with consumers. I think there are lots of HD screens out there, but people are not signing up for the service. In fact, there was an article in Ad Age that said a lot of commercial producers are still producing in SD because they can’t find the return on investment to do it in HD, because people aren’t viewing in HD as much as we think. But I’d say in the next 18 months we’re going to see a big change.
Shenk: In the offline media market, and in the entertainment and advertising industries, I would look at this as the biggest growth market for Corbis. It’s mainly been a us phenomenon so far, but you do see some clusters of demand in Asia in particular, which often is a leapfrog type of market, and in some parts of Europe. In terms of the traditional motion market, this is one of the big growth opportunities.
Berman-Bogdan: I’m not seeing a lot of requests for HD from Europe yet, except from those who are producing for the us market.
As for the emerging platforms such as mobile and portable video, with whom are you dealing? What are you selling them?
Shenk: We’re increasingly trying to work with carriers directly. But ultimately, it’s a consumer market… In terms of images and motion, mobile has been all about personalization, and accessorizing your phone with something that makes it unique to you. We’ve recently seen a big uptake in motion, where there’s some sort of footage that has a cool factor that defines [the user] as a person.
Ross: The area I’m fascinated with is the video iPod, because I think kids are going to start taking home lessons on it… We’re going to see more than Desperate Housewives being translated for podcasting. I think there will be a lot more use of video in mobile handsets, but not necessarily telephones.
Date-Dopps: We have an in-house mobile business group that works very closely with the technology partners and the leading content aggregators to provide mobile-ready images and video clips. We just developed our first picture-based casual game called ‘PictoMatch’ which was distributed via Cingular Wireless, and we’re also growing a library of very unique video ringtones for its European and Asia Pacific partners.
It seems different companies are trying various things to be ‘one-stop shops’ for their clients, such as offering greater rights services or production capabilities. How are your companies reacting to the challenges the production world is facing?
Berman-Bogdan: We started as a rights and research company and expanded into the stock footage area, so we’ve always had that multiple service. I’ve seen the two areas more and more working together hand in hand.
Lumbard: For FootageBank HD, one of the most exciting developments is the arrival of ultra high-definition images – basically working with tapeless cameras that capture images in a 2K and 4K scan straight to hard drive. Standard hd is 1920 x 1080 but the 2K is 2048 x 1556, so we’re experimenting in that. Eventually all of this will go to what’s called 8K. Images are going to look more and more spectacular.
Schaff: There are two things you can live by: file sizes are going to get smaller and bandwidth is going to get bigger. So, it will open up new levels of the market that we haven’t even thought of yet as an industry.
Shearer: One of the things I’ve said a long time ago is I can’t wait for bandwidth to get where it needs to be so that footage can be king. As we all know, you can make stills out of footage but you can’t make stills move. There are endless possibilities for footage to be used in so many different media, and in so many different ways.
Date-Dopps: The need for moving communications has never been greater – to advertise, to brand, to entertain, educate and inform. We’re going to see great opportunities for pre-shot footage and stills to proliferate into all these industry segments, at all price points.
Berman-Bogdan: I think what’s happening as well with trends like crowdsourcing is that people are understanding that footage has a whole other kind of value. They’re telling stories in new ways and looking at footage in new creative ways. There’s a lot of opportunity and a whole new area of media development.
Ross: We’re also excited about embracing the diversity of the new cultural exchange happening online, and we hope the way to do that is by diversifying our images and respecting the diversity in the population by having a collection of niche images that will satisfy not only the independent markets but also the mainstream.
Shenk: In the context of all these shifts happening in the broadcast segment, we’re seeing huge growth in our business. People are looking to stock footage as a compelling alternative and a lower cost source, and they’re increasingly turning to us to provide search of footage, and rights and music clearances, and we’re turning that into a great growth business. I’d expect that to continue.
