Intermission Review
By Jesse Hassenger
Intermission, a gritty ensemble comedy about a bunch of gritty Irish folk, bears some resemblance to late-nineties indie crimedies like Trainspotting, Go, and Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, and fans of those movies should certainly check this one out--it's practically made for those "if you liked [that], check out [this]" shelves at the video store.
What Intermission resembles just as handily, though, is an Irish Love Actually, which is to say it's like Love Actually with a lot more drinking and violence. This is unlikely to placate anyone who truly hated Love Actually and, as such, would require something on the order of a soccer riot to feel fully cleansed. But if you (like me) merely thought a few of those charmingly stammering Englishmen could use a good deck, Intermission is the punch-throwing, rock-chucking romantic comedy for you.
Yes, romantic comedy. The occasion for this low-key mayhem is, in most cases, loneliness. John (Cillian Murphy) breaks up with Deirdre (Kelly MacDonald), who takes up with Sam (Michael McElhatton), an older man who has left his wife Noeleen (Deirdre O'Kane), who seeks to feel attractive again. Also, Deirdre's sister Sally (the appealingly surly Shirley Henderson) is depressed after her last relationship ended horribly (naturally, it sounds sort of hilarious when we hear about it secondhand), and defiantly nurses her growing facial hair.
Explaining the ins and outs of these relationships (and there are several characters I haven't mentioned), I'm at a loss as how for how to account for the subplot about a blowhard cop (dependably unlikable Colm Meaney) and the ambitious TV producer (Tom O'Sullivan) striking an awkward alliance. It's a useful means of tying these storylines together, I suppose, and provides some chuckles, but its lack of thematic connection to the rest of material, and its minor (yet heavy-handed) satire of television documentaries bear little post-movie scrutiny.
A lot of Intermission is like that: Entertaining as it goes along, leaving you wanting more of this (the offbeat, offhand humor), less of that (the male characters' haplessness), satisfied but not elated. Yet strictly in terms of storytelling, the constant cross-cutting works; you're out the door before you have much of a chance to suss out which subplots didn't pay off.
Accordingly, it's hard to tell how much of the picture's considerable charm is based in shrewd organization by newcomer John Crowley or just an eye for casting; Cillian Murphy (28 Days Later) and Kelly Macdonald aren't playing particularly likable or interesting characters, but we like them anyway. Mark O'Rowe's script is generous with funny details, like the way the contents of a botched petty theft quietly turn into a minor culinary trend. And I'm grateful to the filmmakers for not creating any of the precious small-town eccentrics that so many post-Waking Ned Devine British comedies cling to for dear life.
Which reminds me: Colin Farrell is in this, too, returning to his native Ireland with gusto as Lehiff, a petty, heartless crook with ties to several of the main characters. Farrell has no trouble with the kinds of roles Tom Cruise used to take in the eighties, but he's a lot more fun on the opposite side of the law. Adorned with gold chains and looking like he tore his sweater from Bill Cosby's back, Farrell muscles through Intermission as the movie's loveless id, the only character without any sort of maudlin streak. His Lehiff isn't as frightening or funny as, say, Trainspotting's irrepressibly psychotic Begbie, but he gets the movie's first--and possibly its most memorable--scene all to himself. From that propulsive opening to his goofy crooning of "I Fought the Law" over the closing credits (it's also on the soundtrack), Farrell chases his heroic roles out of the room -- and the twee out of Ireland.
Up the beatdown on DVD, with deleted scenes rounding out the disc.

Hogslayer: The Unapproachable Legend
by Christian Williams
Anyone familiar with motorcycle drag racing has heard of Hogslayer, the famous dual-engine Norton dragster. And it’s only appropriate that the most successful drag racing bike of the 1970s have its story told through a sharp-looking documentary film.
Thanks to a post on the Motorcycle Classics Facebook page by fan Steve Becker, we’ve got the promotional trailer for the film, aptly titled “Hogslayer: The Unapproachable Legend.” The film is still being put together and the production company, The Edge, Ltd., is still looking for more documentary materials. What they’ve already put together for this trailer looks pretty cool, though.
We did a little more digging and found the following description for the film on the Hogslayer Documentary Facebook page:
“‘Hogslayer’ documents the story of the origin of the Sunset Motors Race Team including the design, development, and racing of the famous Hogslayer dragster winning multiple world championships in the 1970s. ‘Hogslayer’ is bench racing at its best as told by TC Christenson and John Gregory from the original Sunset Motors in Kenosha, Wisconsin. This is a David and Goliath story of the Sunset Motors Team taking command of motorcycle drag racing through their brilliant innovation and raw courage racing a dual-engine Norton dragster against the best the world had to offer.”
So, without further ado, here’s the promo trailer for “Hogslayer: The Unapproachable Legend:”

Ai Continues Activism Against China; Government Responds
News BY Katherine Grube from Sep/Oct 2009
On New Year’s Eve 2008, during a conversation with curator Hans Ulrich-Obrist at Vitamin Creative Space’s Beijing branch, artist-provocateur Ai Weiwei predicted: “2008 was the first year that China safeguarded legal rights; it’s when people started to wake up. But in 2009, I think China will confront greater problems.”
These words now seem unnervingly prescient, given that the first six months of 2009 in China were marked by politically sensitive anniversaries and often-violent protests including riots by members of the Uighur minority in Xinjiang province. From his Beijing studio, Ai continued his calls for a more responsible government even as China stepped up its response to the artist’s efforts.
After tense interactions with Chinese authorities in May, which culminated in the closing of his Sina.com blog and a visit by police to his mother’s home, government antagonism continued in June and July. Ai re-opened his blog on servers located outside of China [http://blog.aiweiwei.com], writing new blog posts, both humorous and irate. On June 7, Ai posted grainy photographs of surveillance cameras installed outside his house and unmarked vans stationed on the street. The following day, black-and-white portraits of the artist and his large, well-fed belly appeared under the title, “It’s getting bigger every day.” The portraits present a portly man unaffected and, if anything, amused, by the government’s activities. Posts later in the month adopted a more serious tone, listing the government’s more heinous offenses: “Selling AIDS-infected blood, corrupt coal pits, fake news, those who should be administering justice violating it, widespread corruption, rights violations, internet censorship; all you need to ask is a question for you to be anti-China.”
In late June, Ai’s activism broadened to include protests against Green Dam-Youth Escort, web-censoring software that filters content and limits access to certain websites. The government planned to require that the software be installed on all computers sold in China after July 1 to block access to pornography. Ai objected to the software as an intrusion upon individual liberties and went so far as to call for an internet boycott on the launch date. According to Ai, the web-boycott was observed by 6,000 people.
Ai’s efforts were part of a larger outcry; the United States warned that the software would violate free-trade agreements and pressed China to reverse the decision. On June 30, the government postponed the mandatory software installation.
Although minor provocations comprise many of Ai’s daily blog entries, his long-term focus remains the Sichuan Earthquake Names Project, an effort conducted by more than 50 researchers and volunteers to collect the names of the deceased students in towns across Sichuan province. On July 28, Ai declared the project “basically complete,” after researchers collected the names of 5,194 students who died in collapsed schools during the May 12, 2008, earthquake. Project volunteers confirmed that 4,803 children perished; the remaining 391 children’s deaths are unlikely to ever be confirmed because of incomplete school registries and logistical impediments. Ai’s researchers tallied 141 fewer student deaths than the government’s official number of 5,335, and their research refutes the official claim that 1,300 students died in Beichuan Middle School. Instead, Ai’s team confirmed 786 student deaths.
Two weeks before the final count was released, Ai had launched a new phase of the project beginning his own inquiry into the collapsed school’s structural integrity, sending volunteer engineers alongside experienced project researchers to the affected regions. In a July 9 blog entry, project researcher Liu Yaohua detailed his 17-day trip in Sichuan during which he documented collapsed schools, took samples of foundations and photographed the damage. Police maintained a noticeable presence Liu reported, and visited his hotel room in Mianyang, a town near Beichuan. Research in the area was suspended on July 19 when police intercepted Liu’s car and interrogated the two drivers and three researchers on board for an entire day. The team resumed their research in Deyang, a town 50 kilometers to the south.
Select content from Ai’s blog will soon be available in printed form. Beijing-based translator Lee Ambrozy is compiling separate English and Chinese volumes, but because of the sensitive political content, negotiations with publishers are ongoing.

Agency Holiday Charity Initiative

Tony Kay • March 17, 2017
There’s undeniably something elemental about The Maldives’ sound. After all, roots music, folk, and country—sub-genres that, at their best, have always evoked the Earth and the elements—form the band’s bedrock. But like so much that’s elemental, The Maldives’ longevity (13 years and counting) and dependably awesome live presence can be taken for granted with alarming ease.
Once anyone hears Mad Lives, it’s unlikely they’d ever take The Maldives for granted again. The band’s latest long-player isn’t just the finest record in their reliably sturdy discography. It’s the kind of fully-realized, sustained, unerringly brilliant work around which cults are born.
Two of The Maldives’ undeniable calling cards—their chemistry as musicians, and lead singer Jason Dodson’s unaffected tenor voice—remain cornerstones of their sound. From there, though, Mad Lives frequently sails into uncharted waters. You won’t hear a lot of the patented roots-rocking Maldives here, the epic force of “The Fight” notwithstanding. You will hear a nervy but astonishingly consistent merger of earthy roots influences, chamber-pop sumptuousness, near-gothic atmospherics, and psychedelia.
The Maldives. (photo: Tony Kay)
The uncharted waters that Mad Lives explores are often dark ones. I have no idea if (or how much of) this record was composed under the dark shadow of Donald Trump’s ascension, but there’s no denying that the album plays like a search for enlightenment and truth in a world gone merciless and insane.
“No Sense in a Slow Death,” the record’s opening track, establishes that mood at the outset. With its purposeful acoustic strums, distant slide-guitar moaning, and steady but languid tempo, it moves along like a weary traveler fighting to continue on through an arid, blindingly bright desert. Dodson’s lyrics reinforce the weariness as his words turn in on themselves with each successive footfall in the proverbial sand (“I believe that we are fearless when we’re free/I know we are not fearless, we’re not free”).
Mad Lives | On Comes The Night | Official Album Teaser #1 [HD] from The Maldives on Vimeo.
That headlong walk into adversity takes an almost apocalyptic turn with “The Fight.” Faustine Hudson’s tribal pounding hovers beneath Adam Bily’s whirring dark-church keyboards, then dramatic blasts of horns and strings burst in at the song’s three-minute mark, only to drop off like they’ve fallen from a cliff a minute later. Dodson’s dread-informed croon and Tim Gadbois’ fragile-sounding acoustic guitar are left standing alone before the menacing toms and electric guitar melody thrum beneath them to a fading, uneasy end.
The sheer gorgeousness and heartfelt execution of Mad Lives’ songs, and Randall Dunn’s lush production, are what make the album a compulsive repeat listen despite its often harrowing lyrical turns. There’s redemption in the soaring harmonies, grandiose instrumental build-up, and exhilarating dynamic shifts of “Staring at the Sun.” “A Day at the Beach” edges towards straight-up sensuality with its dirty fuzztone guitar, sweet wah-wah, and playful sixties groove. Atmospheric, tinkling keyboards, spectral backing vocals, and elegant grand piano even augment the album’s folkiest track, “House of Flames.” The rough-hewn, enchanting end result sounds like Appalachian bluegrass music played by ghosts.
Dunn’s George Martin-meets-Nigel Godrich production work reaches its zenith on “2 Know You is 2 Love You,” an honest-to-God pop symphony replete with pillowy Beach Boys harmonies, chiming bells, marimbas, and gently-plucked, angelically sighing strings. And at several points Mad Lives is almost as beholden to Dunn’s boardwork and violinist Eyvind Kang’s orchestral arrangements as it is to the band and its songs.
Mad Lives | The Boat That Never Touches Water | Official Album Teaser #2 [HD] from The Maldives on Vimeo.

Slight emphasis on almost. The building, nocturnal strings and regal French horn on “The Boat that Never Touches Water” would mean nothing if Dodson’s voice wasn’t at the forefront, reaching for falsetto notes with tremulous beauty. And the psychedelic bluegrass of “Reckoning” stands on the figurative shoulders of Hudson’s heartbeat percussion and Kevin Barrans’ richly organic banjo.
Most importantly, the songs at the foundation of Mad Lives are uniformly strong enough to stand on their own. The album’s closing track,“Blind (Wish You Well),” unequivocally confirms that assertion. It’s little more than Dodson singing over a quietly restless, flamenco-informed guitar, forming a dark coda to the album’s recurring preoccupations with light and darkness, sight and (metaphoric and literal) blindness. It’s also Dodson’s finest recorded moment as a singer to date, his voice moving from mournful moans to high notes to bitter crooning with quietly-absorbing suspense, nuance and drama. It’d likely be the kiss of death for most bands to close out a record with their most eerie, haunted, and misanthropic song. The Maldives possess the courage to go there, full-on.
That bravery extends throughout the entirety of Mad Lives, a record that’s alternately intimate and grandiose, elegiac and heart-swellingly romantic, carefully-crafted and nakedly emotional. If that doesn’t describe a classic right out of the gate, damned if I know what does.
Mad Lives officially drops on March 31, and the band plays their record release party one night later, April 1, at the Triple Door.

JACK MCDONALD - Honorary membership of Kilmarnock (Barassie) for Walker Cup star
Following the success of this year’s triumphant Walker Cup team, Kilmarnock (Barassie) Golf Club has marked the historic victory by awarding honorary life membership to one of the heroes of the GB&I squad.
(Report & pictures courtesy of the Scottishgolf.org website)
Scotland international Jack McDonald, who also played an integral part in Ayrshire's victories in the Scottish Ara team championship and the West Of Scotland Area Championship this year, became the third Barassie member to lift the trophy when the team regained golf’s blue ribbon amateur event at Royal Lytham & St Annes in September.
The recognition is especially significant as this is only the ninth time in 45 attempts that the GB&I team has won the Walker Cup. As a consequence, it is believed Barassie is the only club in the UK and possibly the world to produce three Walker Cup-winning team members.
At a celebratory dinner held at Barassie’s clubhouse last month, McDonald’s astonishing year was marked by the presence of the Walker Cup, the European Team Championship trophy and the Scottish Team Championship cup, all of which the Barassie member helped secure. The club also announced that it would rename one of its main dining rooms to honour its association with the Walker Cup.
Jack McDonald, Gordon Sherry and Jim Milligan with the Walker Cup
“Barassie has a long and proud tradition of nurturing elite golfers,” said Ian Johnstone, Captain of Kilmarnock (Barassie). “Jack joins Gordon Sherry and Jim Milligan as Barassie members who have lifted the Walker Cup which is quite a record of achievement. We believe Barassie is the only club in the UK and possibly in the world to produce as many Walker Cup winners and we felt duty bound to mark this achievement with some kind of permanent tribute.”
Barassie’s new Walker Cup Lounge will be adorned with priceless memorabilia from the event including a signed flag from McDonald’s winning performance.
“It’s an unbelievable achievement for a golf club especially as the GB&I team has only won the event nine times, so having members from the same club winning it three times is pretty special,” said McDonald after the dinner. “
“It comes from the club; the set-up here is great, we have 27 holes, the practice facilities are brilliant and it’s very friendly; they tend to help juniors a lot which is good. It’s a great club to be a part of.”
Following in the footsteps of his grandfather who also played in the Walker Cup, McDonald played a key role in the team’s triumph this summer. “The Walker Cup was an amazing experience – it’s hard to beat that in golfing terms but as highlights go, being given honorary membership at Barassie is also fantastic,” added the 22-year-old, who has been a member at Barassie since he was 13. “Being so young, honorary membership is a great achievement and a great highlight at the end of the year.”
Also on display in the new Walker Cup Lounge will be the wedge used by Milligan in 1989 to seal the biennial tournament for the first time on US soil. “We’ve always had good players at Barassie,” commented Milligan. “From juniors to seniors and onto internationalists, there have been a lot of good golfers at the club. It’s hard to say why, but we have good facilities and a tough course.”
Considered by many as one of Scotland’s most charismatic golf clubs, Barassie is also widely regarded as one of the country’s most challenging layouts. Final qualifying for the Open Championship and the Seniors’ Open Championship have been played over the links, as has the Ladies Amateur Championship and the Boys Amateur Championship, the later no less than six times.
This latest chapter in Barassie’s history places the emphasis firmly on the sporting achievements of its members rather than the accolades decorated on the course. “To have three members playing key roles in successful Walker Cup-winning teams is remarkable,” noted Johnstone. “It says a lot about the club and the dedication of our members. Barassie is a special place to enjoy golf.”

The Beast Master Series
(aka) Hosteen Storm
Portrait as Andre saw the Beast Master ~ It used to hang in her living room.
He was a beast master in the now-defunct Patrol. The military (and the need for his talents) was reduced after their defeat of the Xiks, which came only after those aliens had destroyed Terra. All Terrans are being repatriated to other human colonies including Arzor where Storm has arrived. With him he has brought his Team, a Dune Cat, an African Eagle, and two Meercats. These are creatures developed and trained to work in concert with the telepathic beast masters. The eagle is the scout from the air, the meercats the saboteurs, and the cat provides muscle and cunning on the ground.
NOTE: Unbeknown-st to most people, there were two full length feature films, a TV show (that ran for three seasons) and one “Made for TV” movie produced. All claim to be based on this Andre Norton Novel. While some Critics thoroughly hated all – some people loved them. All three movies were released in many countries around the world. As for the TV shows there is evidence that they also were released internationally once they were put on DVDs. There are even CDs of the Original Movie Soundtracks available.
For your pleasure we have chosen to add a few interesting things about the spin-offs,
Check out the Movie and TV Show galleries listed below.

Beast Master, The ~ 1959;
Hosteen Storm, an Amerindian, whose home planet Terra had been destroyed in an interplanetary war by the ruthless and nonhuman Xiks, was forced to seek a new life elsewhere. His Navajo Indian ancestry had endowed him with the rare trait of communicating with animals so that, during the recent war, he had become Beast Master, one of a handful of scouts who commanded a trained and loyal animal team.
Arzor, the planet to which Storm emigrated, was like Terra in some aspects, but that was not his only reason for choosing it. Unknown to anyone else, he had another purpose – a mission of revenge – to face at last the man who had killed his father.
How Storm slowly works toward his goal, how he is almost drowned by a flash flood when on a survey trip, how he discovers a hold-out pocket of Xiks, and how – armed only with a knife – he meets the Xik leader in hand-to-hand combat, suggest the exciting adventure in this novel that grips and holds the reader from beginning to end.
Andre Norton, acknowledged as one of our leading science-fiction writers, has written a vividly imagined, chillingly taut story that will take its place with her popular Star Gate and Star Guard.
Lord of Thunder ~ 1962;
Why --- at the height of the great dry season when neither man nor beast can long survive away from shelter and water -- should all the native tribes on the planet Arzor be gathering in the sinister and almost unknown country of the Peaks? To find the answer, Hosteen Storm, a Beast Master relocated here after Terra's destruction in a galactic war, is sent into the Peaks on a mission of utmost danger. With his great cat Surra and his African Eagle Baku, a perfect scouting team, Storm and two companions discover a fantastic world underground and an uprising planned against the off-worlders. How can total disaster be averted?
The solution forms the dramatic climax of this superior science fiction by one of its foremost exponents, the author of such previous successes as The Beast Master and Sea Siege.
Beast Master's Ark ~ 2002;
Beast Master Hosteen Storm has endured great perils to carve out a life for himself on Azor, the colony planet he’s called home since the destruction of Earth by the alien Xil. On a planet with alien life forms and untold secrets from its pre-human past, there are always dangers in the wild, especially in the vast desert and rugged mountain region known as Big Blue.
But nobody has ever experienced a threat like the devastating scourge the natives call Death-Which-Comes-In-The-Night. Something is killing grazing animals, and has begun to attack humans as well, leaving nothing behind but the bones of its victims.
Hosteen, aided by his telepathically linked animals, knows that if he can’t stop the killings Azor will be decimated. His only ally is a young woman who has beast master ability, but was raised to mistrust others with such a power. At stake is the safety of all those on Azor and on other colony planets as well. Because Death-Which-Comes-In-The-Night is a scourge that if not stopped here, could spread...
Beast Master's Circus ~ 2004;
Someone is kidnapping the animals of beast masters' teams. On planet after planet, telepathically gifted people are being attacked - some of them murdered - by a conspiracy to take their precious animals.
Laris, an orphan who trains exotic alien creatures for an interstellar circus, knows that somehow her employer is connected to the deadly plot. She also knows that those involved will kill her if she talks.
Beast master Hosteen Storm has heard about the plot, but when the circus comes to Arzor, he doesn't realize his mortal peril. The circus, with its many colorful acts, is danger cloaked in the swirling excitement of the show. Laris loves all animals, and is herself able to communicate with them. When she meets Hosteen and becomes friends with him and his family, she desperately wants to warn him, to save him and his animals. But as the circus nears the end of its stay on Arzor, the deadly plotters prepare to strike at those Laris cares about ... and at her, if she interferes!
Beast Master's Quest ~ 2006;
Laris is a young orphaned ex-refugee, gifted with the beast-master ability allowing her to communicate with animals. Her closest companion is a remarkably intelligent and enigmatic catlike creature named Prauo, whose origin is shrouded in mystery. Laris, having made a home for herself with the Quades, a family of Arzor ranchers, has also become friends with beast masters Tani and Hosteen Storm, who help her develop her beast-master skills.
When Laris inherits a spaceship from a distant relative, she realizes that she might now fulfill her dream of finding Prauo's home planet. But it won't be easy, and she is relieved when she is able to convince her new extended family to embark with her on a journey into the unknown depths of space.
What Laris and her friends find in space, however, tests their beast-master abilities and threatens their lives. Prauo's home world is beset by dangers that the intrepid travelers could not have anticipated. It will take all of their talents and experience to get back to Arzor alive.

Dean Sims
On Tuesday, January 29, 2019, Dean Paul Sims, husband, retired electronics technician, active volunteer and father of 5 children, passed away at the age of 92.
Dean was born on November 11, 1926, in Highland Park, MI to Dean and Esther (Richards) Sims. Following graduation from high school, Dean joined the Navy on December 21, 1945. He proudly served in the Asiatic Pacific, the European Occupation following World War II and in the Korean War.
After his retirement in 1983, Dean began to volunteer with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. He applied to serve on a trail crew when ATC was developing a volunteer trail crew program in the Southern Region. It’s mission: to assist trail maintaining clubs in their effort to tackle major construction and reconstruction projects in the wake of a major federal effort to purchase lands that would allow hundreds of miles of relocations to routes that better fulfilled the desires and expectations of a National Scenic Trail. Over the last 35 years the Konnarock Crew, as it came to be known, and local volunteer clubs moved hundreds of miles of Trail off of paved public road shoulders and unsustainable grades onto routes that have fulfilled the dreams of millions of hikers. Dean volunteered with the Konnarock Trail Crew for over 30 of those years.
Dean was always a boost to crew morale, keeping spirits high even when the weather or the work was not cooperating. A master storyteller, Dean occupied others’ spirits while toiling together on projects. Dean not only worked on Konnarock crew weeks building relocations, he was essential in working to open the basecamp at the start of crew seasons. Dean skillfully sharpened and rehandled tools before the start of each season, first for Konnarock and then also for Rocky Top Trail Crew.
Dean left many friends. He will be missed.

Hello Chief!
Peacemaker is one of my very favourite scores. So much brass in there. So much orchestral sonority.
This score has thunderous, bombastic, pompous, trilling, sonorous, noisy, arresting, resplendent cues!!!!
Plenty of roller-coaster, helter skelter moments in there as well.
It's a great oppurtunity to have such a score in lossless.
This is a score that someone has to play loud and let the neighbours call the police!!
Play it loud and enjoy it!
I was wondering if you have the "The Peacemaker Alternate & Unused Cues" in lossless???

Memo to NPR: Fact Checking is a Wonderful Thing
Posted on April 30, 2008 by Robert C.J. Parry
Yesterday, the DN linked to an NPR story that was billed as a profile of Officer Jennifer Grasso, the first woman to enter the LAPD’s SWAT school. Interestingly, the only thing it said about Grasso was that she refused to be interviewed. Some profile.
That may be the only thing the report got right. Top to bottom, the story is riddled with factual errors, blatantly stereo-typed prejudice and gross omissions (for instance, trumpeting an officers $2 million jury verdict, while failing to mention said verdict was overturned on appeal).
Here, then, is the commentary in response that I have prepared for NPR. They’ve not seen fit to get back to me. I’m shocked.
The Politically Incorrect Truth About LAPD’s First Female SWAT Officer:
NPR’s recent profile of Los Angeles Police Officer Jennifre Grasso, the first female selectee for the renown LAPD SWAT team, left out numerous key facts and advanced patently false misperceptions and liberal stereo-types.
Let’s stipulate now that Jennifer Grasso is an outstanding cop. Those who have worked with her say she’s far better than most male officers. SWAT officers I know were disappointed when she failed their stringent 2006 selection.
This doesn’t change a simple fact: If Grasso is passes SWAT school, it will only be because she’s a woman, and Police Chief Bratton wants a woman on SWAT, capable or not.
NPR failed to mention that Grasso recently committed a violation of weapons’ safety so egregious that most present SWAT officers would have been removed from the team for the same. She accidentally fired an MP-5 submachine gun, without even having the weapon in a firing position.
Before now, SWAT officers were expected to arrive with the finest weapons handling traits. Just as diamonds can be cut and polished only to standards their chemical traits permit, so too are weapons skills limited. By choosing only officers with the finest innate traits – those with skills that need to be honed, not learned – SWAT has amassed a remarkable record – killing less than 1% of the extremely dangerous suspects they confront and only one hostage ever – and arguably not even her.
In past years, dozens of male and female candidates have been disqualified for even placing a finger on the trigger at the wrong time. Every professional weapons handling standard starts with “never put a finger on the trigger unless you are ready to fire.” Grasso went one better, spraying rounds into the dirt in front of her.
She literally could have killed someone, yet is still in school.
Does anyone really believe no SWAT standards have been lowered, as CPT Jeff Greer asserted?
This is no minor matter to current SWAT cops. Would you want to confront an armed suspect knowing the officer behind you had accidentally fired the same machine gun that is now inches from your back? If you’re a hostage, is that officer your first choice of rescuer?
NPR also failed to tell you that the selection procedure that picked Grasso used only five of the 18 standards that were previously used to evaluate candidates. Among the eliminated tests, was a simulated hostage rescue that very closely mirrored the 2005 incident in which SWAT is believed to have accidentally killed a little girl – the Suzie Pena case which supposedly led to this change. It is that same test that former officer Nina Acosta barely passed in the early 1990s before suing the City for discrimination. Contrary NPR’s report that she wasn’t selected because of her gender, officers who testified in the trial say Acosta hesitated for three or four seconds inside that room while fumbling with her weapon. Most police gun battles are over in half that time.
That is why Acosta’s $2 million verdict was thrown out by an appeals court, another fact NPR left out.
NPR also was quick to quote LAPD observer Joe Domanick, a journalist who’s never carried a gun, much less served as an LAPD officer. According to him, blacks and Latinos were only admitted to SWAT following a consent decree, and the unit is still largely a bastion of whites.
In fact, this is false. Among the very first SWAT officers were several highly regarded officers of a variety of ethnicities. One black sergeant is regarded by old timers as a key to the team’s early growth. A large number of the team was Hispanic. Today, African American officers make up a greater percentage of SWAT than the LAPD as a whole – something that was true before Randal Simmons was murdered in Winnetka earlier this year.
But, to Domanick and NPR (who apparrently didn’t bother going to look at SWAT), this is a white male bastion.
The fact is, contrary to NPR’s assertions, SWAT is a bastion of excellence of all colors, and diverse in its expertise. Its record proves it rarely uses force, and its ranks include some of the world’s best-trained – and most successful – hostage negotiators.
How could NPR get so many facts wrong and omit so many important points? I’d venture to say NPR is far more prejudiced against folks in blue, than SWAT cops are anyone of any color. Or any gender.
The loser in all of this is Grasso. Frankly, lots of folks can make mistakes with a weapon. Officers who have done so in the past have retested the selection process and made the team, without doubts. Grasso will not be so fortunate. Regardless of the selection standards used, she will now always be known as the woman who had the standards changed for her, and who got away with something no man ever would.
Sometimes when you shatter a non-existent glass ceiling, you still get cut be falling shards.
And, remember, the standards have not been lowered.

I know Grasso and she is a good cop. But if she does not pull out of the whole thing because of her mistake, which by the way would of failed past officers, i will loose some respect for her. She has to know that they are changing the standard for her so she will make it through. Do the right thing and pull out Grasso!!!Its the right thing to do…
This is another example of the departments stupidity. Wanting a female SWAT Officers is a good thing, but you want one that is fit for the job. Grasso is a fine officer, but she should be held to the same standards as all the other candidates. It should not be about being a female, male, white , black or hispanic. It should be who is the best officer for the job. If she is not it then she should not be placed in SWAT. Try again next time, but dont give it to her just because she is female.

Symantec calls Apple's iOS more secure than Google's Android
Recently, Symantic came out with its latest report, in which it ranked Apple's iOS as more secure in comparison to Google's Android. The report dubbed "A Window Into Mobile Device Security," includes 23 pages, in which the security approaches used by Apple and Google in its mobile operating systems are described. Apart from this, the report also emphasizes the past and possible future holes found in the iOS and Android platforms.
The report made close comparisons of both the platforms and reached on the conclusion that iOS offers full protection against malware attacks, while its counterpart offers only a little.
The report also ranked iOS higher than Android for protection against resource abuse and service attacks, data loss, and data integrity attacks. Moving further, even the fields like access control, application provenance, and encryption were found to be more securely protected by iOS.
Isolation was the only security category, in which Google's Android was termed as better than iOS. Android received highest marks for this category, while iOS was told to offer moderate protection.
On the whole, the report by Symantec credited the provenance approach of Apple for building a steady security barrier. This because all of the apps, before getting launched on the App store has to undergo vetting procedures. The report said that this avoids malware attacks, data loss attacks, data integrity attacks, and denial of service attacks.
While coming over to Android, Symantec pointed out two major weaknesses in it. The report said, “First, the provenance system in place enables attackers to anonymously create and distribute malware. In addition, its permission system relies upon the user to make the important security decisions, and considering most of Android users are not of high technical capability, this causes problems.”
But the report did term Google's mobile operating system as an enormous improvement over traditional desktop operating systems.

We caught a repeat of the Undercover Boss episode with Churchill COO Bill Carstanjen recently. I really enjoyed the show to be quite frank. It is fun to see a fish out of water, when the water is a racetrack – a place we all know as horse owners, fans and bettors. He spoke with many at the track – a trainer, a jockey valet, a press person and a cleaning person.
We figured we'd run one of the most popular posts on HANABlog in homage
What if Bill took the job as an Undercover Bettor?
First, Bill would have to wake up really early, or stay up really late, reading the PP's. He would have to work at it, because betting is difficult. Then he and his shadow, Bettor Pete, would have to head to the track, pay for parking, admission and find his spot in the simulcast center. There he would have to track down the changes – always a tough task at a simo-center. And make all necessary adjustments.
Then it would be time to make a bet.
He and Bettor Pete would check the TV monitors and see that an exacta was paying $22 at two minutes to post, but the other track they were following, a similar ex is paying $38.
“Let’s play the $38 one, as it is paying more” COO Bill says.
“Each track decides if it shows payouts in $1 increments or $2 increments. The $22 ex for $1 is actually a better bet than the $38 one for $2. So we should bet the $22 one.” Bettor Pete explains.
"How do you know which track shows $1 and which $2?" asks COO Bill.
"Experience. It took me a long while, though" replies Pete.
"That seems strange, especially for new people racing is trying to attract" says Bill.
"That's the way it works in horse racing, " says Bettor Pete.
The camera would then show Bill looking melancholy-like into the air, scratching his chin, wondering, “Why would racing not show all increments the same, for the good of the customer?”
Then the race would go off, with Bill and the bettor holding a live $2 3-2 ex for $44 smackers if successful. It is looking good. The three horse has a big lead and the two is coming wide…… yes! Victory!
But there is an inquiry. Bill and his bettor are trembling – although it appears there will be no change, after all we saw this type of non-infraction be left up 100 times or more – it is never an easy time for a bettor. Then the tote board goes dim, there has been a change. It is announced, with no real explanation from anyone on camera and the prices are displayed.
“What happened”, says COO Bill. “Is your money just gone?”
“Yes, that’s the way it works” says the bettor. “In places like Australia and Hong Kong they have protocols to handle inquiries so the public is better informed, but here it goes from track to track. Most times your money just changes hands without nary a peep. And rulings change from track to track, so it is a bit of a mystery”
“Well I guess someone wins when you lose, so bettors are still getting paid somewhere”, COO Bill explains.
“Sure” says Pete. “But if you went to work on Friday and found that your paycheck was given to someone else, would you be happy because at least someone got paid?”
The camera would then show Bill looking melancholy-like into the air, scratching his chin, wondering, “why would racing not have a uniform set of inquiry rules, and report it the same way all across the sport, so customers feel that their money is more respected? And no, I don't want Bob Evans to take my salary each Friday and call it even either”
“On to the next race,” says the bettor.
For the second, Bill and the bettor both agree, the seven horse is the play. He is 6-1, and looks like an overlay.
“The only problem I see,” says the bettor, “is that the six horse is trained by a guy who just got caught with a positive test, so we clearly have to watch out for this fella.”
“Positive test?” says COO Bill. “If he has a positive test, why is he training a horse in a race today?”
“That’s the way it works in horse racing,” says the bettor.
As the race draws closer the odds drop to 5-1 on their potential play, but still right in the wheelhouse of the bettor.
“Anything over 4-1 and this bet is King” our bettor tells Bill.
“Gotcha” says Bill. “Let’s go bet”
At ten seconds to post they lay their cash down. They each bet $40 to win.
Any they’re off. The seven horse, their bet, gets an easy lead. $40 at 5-1 is $200 profit, a nice days work. But COO Bill – a numbers guy at heart – notices that at the bottom of the screen the horse, who was just 5-1 at the quarter, is now 5-2 at the half!
“Hey our horse is 5-2 now!” he pleads to bettor Pete.
The horse, all out in a game effort, loses in the last jump.
“Oh well”, says the bettor.
“Oh well!?! What do you mean, oh well?! We just bet a horse at 5-1, and we said we would never bet him at anything less than 4-1. He ended up at 5-2 while the race was being run!!! What the heck is up with that? How can we take the odds board seriously!?”
“That’s the way it works in horse racing,” says the bettor. “Racing probably has the power to do something about it, but we just end up waiting and waiting for fixed odds betting, or something to address it. I think a lot of the tracks are only concerned with slots.”
The camera would then show Bill looking melancholy-like into the air, scratching his chin, wondering, “why would racing not do something to make it better for customers and help grow racing?”
“For our last race of the day, I do like the four at Fair Grounds…...” says the bettor.
Bill jumps in: “Fair Grounds, I like that track!”
“No, I was going to say I do like the four at Fair Grounds, but I have stopped betting that track because this meet there was signal dispute. These things happen time and time again and bettors are left out in the cold. I, and many players here, are stopping playing tracks that do that.”
“I’m sure they have a reason for doing that… " says COO Bill.
"I don't know why they do it, but that's the way it works in horse racing," says Pete. "The customers are kind of an afterthought in these internal squabbles"
The camera would then show Bill looking melancholy-like into the air, scratching his chin, wondering, “why would racing not fix any issues amongst themselves without withholding signals, so the bettors can still play their favorite tracks?”
“Well what about the next at Calder” says COO Bill.
“I don’t play Calder. They raised takeout two years ago to astronomical rates." replies Pete.
"Oh" says Bill.
“Well, it’s been a pleasure Pete” says COO Bill.
“So do you want to be a bettor Billy?” asks Pete.
“If racing makes some changes, Pete, only if they make some changes.” says COO Bill.
At the end of the show when the "boss" gives away really good things, Pete shows up and Bill just kinda shrugs and says "I can't help you Pete, you're up against this yourself." It wasn't the warm and fuzzy feeling we're used to on this show, but alas, as Pete says "it's the way it is in horse racing"

In Light of Tether’s Fractional Reserve, a Shadow of Fiatcoins’ Future
Tether has taken a lot of heat for admitting it is running a fractional reserve. There’s no doubt that Tether’s unregulated nature makes this approach risky and that its lack of transparency is unsettling, but the entire modern banking system is architected on fractioned assets.
And Tether is not the only stablecoin that admits that it is backing its tokens with cash and “equivalent assets”; all of its competitors state in their terms of use that they can (and/or do) back tokens with cash-like investments, like government treasury bonds or other securities.
So, are these stablecoins any different than the legacy banking system? In practice, they act the same, but in structure, operations and regulation, they are still largely untamed.
Depending on your take, the news of Bitfinex drawing on Tether’s reserves to cover $850 million in losses — and the follow-up news that Tether is running a 74 percent fractional reserve — was either a spicy bombshell or a blandish nothingburger.
It’s either fraud and insolvency or good faith and responsible operations; proof that the writing is on the wall or that business is being conducted as usual. At the very least, both sides likely agree, it’s fiat banking in a nutshell.
But it was never anything else in the first place. And, moreover, Tether isn’t the only stablecoin with the gumption to run a fractional reserve; many of its competitors have terms of use that grant them this leeway and, while they’ve been more transparent about this fact than Tether from the start, this dependency on fractional reserves has been largely shrouded by Tether hogging the limelight.
In Tether’s shadow, however, rising competitors have shown that they’re more like the top stablecoin — and the precedent it is setting for crypto-banking practices — than they’d care to admit.
Wildcat Banking for the Digital Age
By its very nature, Tether — and other stablecoins like it — have always relied on the old model. That investors are buying into a fractional reserve system with notes that exist in another fractional reserve system is not lost on its defenders. The irony, to them, is that people are worried that Tether is not fully backed, but they don’t seem to worry that their own dollars in the legacy system run the same risk.
As Coinmetrics Analyst and Castle Island Ventures Partner Nic Carter summed it up on Twitter, banks are conducting the same business with “far lower capital ratios than tether has.”
There’s some nuance to extrapolate here, however, in that banks are fully regulated and they (typically) invest capital in highly liquid assets. To back its $900 million revolving credit from Tether, Bitfinex and Tether’s parent company, DigiFinex, collatralized this debt with 60,000,000 shares in itself. This type of incestuous lending raises the questions: How sound is this collateral and how legitimate is the underlying loan?
Carter told Bitcoin Magazine that Tether and Bitfinex “definitely concealed the risk of the loan” when they failed to disclose the credit/shares swap to their users. Seeing as DigiFinex represents both Tether and Bitfinex, which means that the exchange basically took out a loan from itself against its own shares, Carter said that the deal is “worryingly recursive — the value of DigiFinex declines as Tether risks insolvency, causing the collateral to be worth less.”
Banks underwrite assets with liabilities all of the time, Ellie Frost, a former investment banker at Deutsche Bank-turned cryptocurrency professional, told Bitcoin Magazine. Using liquid assets such as securities, government bonds and the like to generate capital in the form of debt is the backbone that makes modern banking possible and currencies elastic, the only difference being that these practices are regulated and are done with a greater degree of transparency than Bitfinex’s deal with Tether.
For instance, intercompany loaning like the $900 million Bitfinex-Tether deal isn’t uncommon in traditional banking, but Frost noted that “a loan connected to a subsidiary would immediately be flagged, have extra vetting and would likely have to go through shareholder approval on the company’s end.” This loan also circumvented the usual risk procedures and “credit process” that banks conduct when signing off on a loan.“There is incredibly stringent regulation around practices like this (particularly post-2008, when banks so royally screwed up their risk management around derivatives like CDOs [collateralized debt obligations]) and banks have shareholders to be held accountable to,” Frost told Bitcoin Magazine. “Banks not only release filings, but every single large debt obligation that is loaned out via investment banking goes through multiple regulation procedures.”
“We need to be clear this is institutional, not retail banking,” she added, regarding Bitfinex’s actions to cover up the missing $850 million. Bitfinex used customer funds from Tether to pump additional capital into itself without any “of the transparency that is associated with typical retail customer’s investments” or the regulations for capital requirements that banks adhere to.
“It isn’t uncommon for parent companies to bail out subsidiaries,” Frost concluded. “However, you cannot truly compare [Bitfinex/Tether] to a bank because they lack the risk management and regulations.”
So what Tether has done isn’t out of the ordinary for modern banking — but it is a scrappy, less “legitimate” version of it. The question remains, then, could more stablecoins bring this age-old banking model into maturity within the crypto ecosystem?
The Stablecoin Mold
The answer is a mixture of “they will,” and “they already have.” Though Frost argued that, “it isn’t fair to compare the two” for the same reasons that Tether’s banking is so dissimilar to traditional banking: there’s zero regulation.
Still, if you look at the terms of use of Tether’s most popular fiatcoin competitors, they all qualify that their backing is both in cash and reportedly “highly liquid” cash equivalents. Even if they are largely un- (or under-) regulated, their reserves may not be wholly cash-backed.
Poloniex parent company Circle and Coinbase’s stablecoin USDC, for example, “is fully backed by U.S. Dollars or equivalent assets held by Circle with its U.S. banking partners in segregated accounts, on behalf of, and for the benefit of, Users.” The actual benefit here may be up for debate, because, per the terms, “Circle, not the Users, will earn interest on the U.S. Dollars or equivalent assets in such accounts.”
Earning interest and dividends on customer deposits is the business of banks; after all, money isn’t put to work if it’s sitting in one place, so banks invest it to make revenue, some of which (though an arguably paltry amount of around 2 percent in the U.S.) goes back to customer savings accounts.
Most all fiatcoin issuers make no such promises of interest for their customers. Winklevoss-owned Gemini notes that its GUSD “is strictly pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar … correspond[ing] to a U.S. dollar held across one or more omnibus bank accounts,” though “the monies within which are used to purchase money market funds invested in securities issued or guaranteed by the United States or certain U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities.”
The Paxos Standard is the same as well, with its terms of use stating that the “Paxos Trust Company provides cash management for the U.S. dollar deposits backing PAX so that each PAX is backed by an equivalent amount of US dollar deposits or US Treasury bonds.”
TrustToken claims that “each TrueCurrency token is backed by an equivalent amount of fiat deposits,” but that it may “utilize sweep accounts that can protect the deposits through overnight investments in U.S. Government Treasuries” and that, for its GPB equivalent, “U.K. Government Treasuries may be utilized for GBP deposits.”
Sometime after Tether established a credit line with Bitfinex, the stablecoin’s website updated its information to clarify that USDT is backed by “reserves … includ[ing] traditional currency and cash equivalents and, from time to time, may include other assets and receivables from loans made by Tether to third parties, which may include affiliated entities.” The last bit regarding loans from affiliated entities likely refers to the deal in question with Bitfinex.
On the surface, the reserves of Tether’s competitors are diversified with the clients in mind. At least, the common response I received when asking issuers why they held assets other than cash was one of risk mitigation.
“This is another measure we’ve taken to ensure nothing happens to the 100 percent reserves backing TrueUSD,” Tory Reiss, co-founder and head of business development at TrustToken, told Bitcoin Magazine. “There is a cap to FDIC insurance for USD and no FDIC insurance for non-USD fiat. Therefore, instead of relying on the solvency of banks, we decided to mitigate risk by relying on the solvency of governments.”
Paxos’ Global Head of Strategic Business Operations Nancy Dornbush also told us that, in line with Paxos’ “top priority to keep [its] customers’ funds safe,” the company “[secures] them with U.S. government obligations” which are “guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the United States government.”
USDC also “believe[s] that diversifying reserves across such asset classes allows for greater security of funds by mitigating individual bank failure as a risk factor,” according to Joao Reginatto, USDC’s product lead at Circle — though he added that USDC “is currently backed entirely by cash deposits.”
Like proper banks, these stablecoins have looked toward U.S. treasury bonds as safe harbors for liquidity because, as Frost put it, “Uncle Sam is on the line for that money at the end of the day.” These cash-like assets also help nourish their balance sheets for further growth.
“As reserve balances grow with increasing adoption of USDC, we plan to also hold reserves in highly liquid and low volatility assets such as U.S. Treasury Bonds,” Reginatto said regarding USDC’s plans. Reiss echoed this sentiment when he noted that as “TrueUSD scales, [government bonds] allow [its] protection of the funds to scale as well.”
Justified as it may be as protecting client deposits, this expansionary strategy has the reach and feel of an elastic banking policy. If funds are left sitting in an account, they make no money. But if you invest them, you can accrue revenue on deposits — and if these companies hope to scale, they’re going to need more than redemption/issuing fees to subsist.“I’m not surprised by stablecoins making other investments, but they are not transparent [and do not] give any say to ‘shareholders’ of the coin,” Frost said. “At the very least, they could be up front about what investments they do have and let retail investors judge for themselves if they are comfortable with the risk the coins are taking on.”
To be fair, they list in the terms of use that cash may be allocated into things like treasuries and securities, albeit they are vague about which ones. Each of these Tether alternatives also conducts monthly attestations to prove their reserves, all of which are public and conducted by reputable accounting firms.
But these are not official audits, which, more than just making sure that a company’s bank account is square, allow a firm to evaluate business practices to see how a company generates revenue and what its operations look like.
Paxos told us that it is internally audited by Grant Thorton LLP (which also runs attestations for USDC) and is externally audited by a Big Four firm. These audits, however, are not public, and none of the representatives from the other four stablecoins Bitcoin Magazine spoke with mentioned anything besides attestation reports.
It would also be unfair to compare these stablecoins to Tether. The regulatorily unfettered grandaddy of stablecoins is beholden to basically zero governmental oversight. On the contrary, Paxos and Gemini are subject to New York State Department of Financial Services trust laws and TrueUSD and USDC are federally registered as money services businesses with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
These regulations certainly make these options “safer” than Tether to some, but Frost encourages potential investors to be more critical when evaluating whether or not any of these stablecoins are safe, while also advising for stablecoins to present more “transparency of their risk models and investments.”
Their regulatory legitimacy and corporate trappings may make them an attractive alternative to banks — and may even provide a presage of what the future of banking may look like — but she cautions that, though they may play the part of a bank, they still lack the substance that defines modern banking institutions.
“I in no way think that traditional banking is perfect, but I think that it is important that these stablecoin companies are upfront with their risks and do not try to compare themselves to these ‘safe’ institutional players,” Frost concluded.

“Appearances can be deceiving. What looks like a situation where a female is in charge of a male can actually be a scenario where the exact opposite is the case! At first, Aleska Diamond looks like a controlling mistress in her latex outfit, and Choky Ice, chained to the wall, at first looks like her slave in black latex duds. But when we see Aleksa insert a red-jeweled butt plug in her bottom, even as her “slave” observes, it becomes clear that this is a unique situation where she has merely kept her master restrained to the wall at his own request, so he will be faithful to her with his wildly in-demand porn stud cock!

Goodyear introduces IntelliGrip and Eagle 360 Urban Concept Tyres
Posted by Ernest | Mar 8, 2017 | Auto, Auto Events / News Briefs | 0 |
Goodyear has revealed two of its latest Tyre range, envisioned for the world of tomorrow: the IntelliGrip and Eagle 360 Urban Concept tyres. Both tyres come with the brand’s latest innovations with the purpose of reaching destinations faster. Designed for future-generation autonomous electric ride-sharing vehicles in urban areas, the IntelliGrip Urban and Eagle 360 Urban concept tyres are set to meet the rising interest for on-demand-transportation and the ever evolving Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem.
Valuing the importance for convenience (cost and time saving), the Goodyear IntelliGrip Urban concept tyre is equipped with advanced Sensor-in-Tire technology, and designed to support autonomous vehicle control systems and enhance passenger safety. The concept tire is capable of sensing road and weather conditions. By gathering this critical data and sending it directly to the vehicle’s computer system, it enables the car to optimize speed, braking, handling and stability.
The IntelliGrip Urban would enable fleets to monitor their vehicles and tires in real time, giving them a competitive advantage whilst helping to increase their profitability, supported by following key features: sensor-in-Tyre technology, proactive maintenance, tall and narrow shape and specially-designed tread.
The Eagle 360 Urban is powered by Artificial Intelligence and features bionic skin with a sensor network that allows the concept tyre to check on its own status and gather information on its environment, including the road surface. Via connectivity with other vehicles as well as infrastructure, traffic and mobility management systems, the Eagle 360 Urban also captures information on its surroundings in real-time.
The Artificial Intelligence unit serves as the ‘brain’ of the tire and enables the tyre to continuously sense the road condition and the surrounding environment in real-time and check on its own status in real-time. At the same time, the tyre enables processing of information using neural networks. It has the ability to transform using its own morphing tread and tire/vehicle interface. And, interact with other vehicles and all of the elements making up the Internet of Things to share the information it has captured and lessons learned.
The Eagle 360 Urban’s bionic skin high-sensory capacity tread, with its sensor network, captures information on road and weather conditions and transmits this input to the tyre to optimize the morphing of the tread. The tyre also allows the vehicle’s ‘nervous system’ to improve the car’s braking, handling and efficiency. Lastly. the tyre comprises of all of the elements making up the Internet of Things to inform other tyres and vehicles expected to take the same road. With intelligent morphing, the tyre prepares the vehicle for the unexpected by proactively providing safety under all conditions. Depending on the road and weather conditions, the most appropriate tread pattern appears autonomously with the help of the bionic skin of the tyre. Additionally, the bionic skin allows self-healing repair. And, in combination with the Artificial Intelligence unit, it measures current and predicts future tyre wear to allow automated tyre management, enabling predictive and proactive maintenance. Last but not least, the spherical shape moves in all directions and contributes to comfort, safety and maneuverability to match the demands of autonomous mobility and mobility as a service.

Alt Hist Issue 6 includes four wonderful alternate history stories, plus a great “straight” historical fiction set in 1914 about a teenage girl accused of war crimes. The alternate history stories cover some classic areas for speculative fiction and of interest to alternate history buffs: what if Hitler won the war, what if the Germans invaded Britain in WW2, who really killed JFK and what if the Cold War turned hot? But none of these tales are just speculation on alternative versions of history. They all share what you have come to expect from Alt Hist: a strong story and engaging characters.
Alt Hist is the magazine of Historical Fiction and Alternate History, published twice a year by Alt Hist Press.
Stories featured in Alt Hist Issue 6:
“B-36”by Douglas W. Texter
“ Battalion 202: Worm in the Apple” by Jonathan Doering
“The Iceberg” by Andrea Mullaney
“When Shots Rang Out” by Lynda M. Vanderhoff
“Hitler Is Coming” by Martin Roy Hill
Set in a world in which the early Cold War grows very hot, “B-36”by Douglas W. Texter tells the tale of what might have happened if the Soviet Union had taken Berlin during the Berlin Airlift. In this world, Secretary of Defense James Forrestal orders a B-36 piloted by Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Drummond and a very special mission commander to fly to the Soviet Union with a secret “gimmick” on board. The results of the mission are world-changing.
The next instalment of Battalion 202 by Jonathan Doering: “For all I know, you’re dirty as well.” Christopher felt his chest flare. “Alright then, if you don’t believe me, shoot me.” A worm enters an apple. It is seeking food, shelter. It is only acting on its nature. But sooner or later the apple will turn rotten. Everything will explode. There is a traitor in Pontefract Auxiliary Unit. A traitor who places his own survival and success in the new Nazi state ahead of everything – even the lives of his comrades….
On Boxing Day, 1914, a teenage girl sits in an Edinburgh prison awaiting trial for a war crime. Her lawyer finds himself captivated by her as he tries to establish the truth of the case, whose roots lie in the Titanic disaster two years before. ‘The Iceberg,’ by Andrea Mullaney, is based on an extraordinary true story.
In “When Shots Rang Out” by Lynda M. Vanderhoff JFK was a well known ladies man, but his family has suffered under a curse that is nearly Shakespearian in scope. Could it be that Kennedy upset the wrong person with his philandering, putting in motion the death and bad fortune that would see his family destroyed?
What would the United States be like if Hitler won the Second World War? In “Hitler Is Coming” by Martin Roy Hill protagonist Paul Klee is an OSS veteran and police investigator on temporary assignment to the post-war American SS to stop a plot to kill a victorious Adolf Hitler on his first visit to the U.S. From fascist cabbies to corrupt Party gauleiters, Klee wends his way through an America most Americans today never knew once existed.

You are at:Home»Hero of the week»More than a news story
More than a news story
By Jenn Rafael on April 11, 2013 Hero of the week
We have seen it too many times. A news article or quick report on TV about another American killed in Afghanistan. We see the photos, listen to the report, then move on.
SGT. Michael Cable
I remember hearing about a Soldier who had been stabbed while playing with Afghan children. I remember thinking how tragic that was.
Then I moved on.
But the family didn’t. His community didn’t either. One week later, on April 4th, that news story became real for the family of SGT Michael Cable and the community of Owensboro, Kentucky. Cable, the seventh casualty from the area to die serving his country in OIF/OEF, was welcomed home by hundreds of people who lined the streets as his procession drove from the airport to the funeral parlor several blocks away.
Escorting him were 137 bikers from the Patriot Guard, American Legion Riders, and Rolling Thunder. In all, the procession stretched for more than a mile.
There is a face behind every news story we hear, and a grieving family back home trying to somehow cope with the loss of their cherished son or daughter, husband or wife. Entire communities struggle to make sense of it all, wanting to take the pain away from their neighbors, knowing there is nothing they can do except show their support.
That support is far more valuable than most of them realize.
SGT Michael Cable and the hundreds to came out for his homecoming are our heroes of the week.
Sent to me by Michael, a veteran who was there on April 4th to welcome SGT Cable home.

In Joon Ho Bong’s post-apocalyptic drama Snowpiercer, the world of 2031 is completely frozen, forcing a community of survivors to develop their own hierarchal social system within the confines of a moving train. A corrupt class system, much like what exists today, inevitably grew within this insular population—lower class in the back and upper class in the front—sparking a fire between the oppressed and privileged. This revolution, though set decades from now, is reflective of the current cultural climate, providing a rich, relevant inspiration for rising downtown NYC label PRIVATE POLICY to explore this season.
Founded by Parsons graduates Siying Qu and Haoran Li, the collaborative project is in its second season, this sophomore effort further honing what the two find valuable as designers. They’re constantly looking at youth culture within the city, injecting this energy with a subtle sense of luxury, the balance of high and low echoing Snowpiercer’s narrative. For fall ’16, subversive street elements took root in classic American silhouettes, like bombers or bucket hats, while sly nods to opulence are found in the collection’s fabrics, from wool silks to velvet. This equilibrium is informed by the duo’s eclectic art school background and formal training, providing them with an acute awareness of customer and quality, both of which are essential for a label in its infancy.
We visited PRIVATE POLICY this week in their studio space to shoot some details of the collection and talk about all things collaboration and community.
How did this partnership come about?
Haoran Li: “During our graduating year at Parsons, we were always together because our working tables were next to each other. At the time, she was doing menswear and I was doing womenswear, so it was pretty different. With PRIVATE POLICY, we wanted to make something our friends would wear; our friends want to wear something colorful, something youthful, but it’s very hard to find clothes like that within a reasonable price range.”
Siying Qu: “Our friends represent New York’s creative youth because having gone to art school, we have a lot of communication with other art forms besides fashion, like photography, fine art, music. We hang out downtown and see this market; there are some interesting things to wear, but we feel like we’re not finding enough.”
How do you keep prices “reasonable?”
SQ: “We design backwards, thinking about stores we want to sell in and considering their price point. We’ll then consider what’s reasonable for our customer and think about the fabrics we can afford. We don’t want to compromise quality, either; we’re not trying to do fast fashion. We need quality to attract this creative youth that’s also focused on details.”
HL: “Our fabrics are from Italy and Japan.”
SQ: “Our clothes are made in China, but we specifically chose Shanghai, which is a fast developing city, almost like New York. We found this atelier-like factory that can do small quantities for us, which is very helpful to keep down the price point and maintain quality.”
Who does what in this collaboration?
HL: “Siying specializes in silhouettes and I’m interested in textiles. We’ve been told we’re a unique team because it’s more common to have a designer working with someone more business. Luckily, our brand vision is really singular and both our families are from strong business backgrounds, so we’ve have a business touch even before design.”
Tell me about the collection’s inspiration, Snowpiercer.
HL: “We got all the different color elements from the film. The word, “Takataka,” is a reference to the train is running. With the fur details, we thought about surviving harsh weather. Our silk is shiny, but it still has a wool attached to it—a warm, silky fabric.”
SQ: “The film is about a revolution of people who are on the bottom of this train society and want to get to the front of the train, where there’s all this luxury, high-class life. It felt like a very romantic revolution for us. At the front of the train, we saw pinks, golds and greens, and with the other side of the ‘world,’ more beige and earthy tones. We found this contrast to be beautiful and brought it into the collection.”
I see a strong loungewear presence in this collection, which seems to be taking over fashion. Is this in reference to the film, as well?
SQ: “Loungewear was worn by the leader of the train in this very Italian menswear print. At the same time, it feels very modern, so we wanted to create something that could be worn outside. We do a lot of vintage shopping, not only in New York, but in Austin, and recycled this classic ’50s silhouette to make a lounge shirt with zippers and plackets on the sleeves.”

Amazon in Good Field Position After NFL Deal
April 6, 2017 By Paul SweetingBlog0 Comments
Amazon won the auction for live-streaming rights to this season’s Thursday Night Football franchise with a bid of $50 million dollars for a package of 10 games. That’s 5 times what Twitter paid last year for essentially the same deal: Amazon will share the games with NBC and CBS and will stream the networks’ feeds, including their ads. Amazon will also be able to sell a handful of ads per game itself.
The games will be available for free to Amazon Prime members.
Although the 5X increase in price is impressive — and was probably too rich for Twitter — $50 million is still pretty small beans, both for the league — whose deals with the broadcast networks run into the billions — and for Amazon, which has $20 billion on its balance sheet. For both, it’s largely an add-on business at this point.
For the NFL, streaming is still largely an experiment aimed at finding a way to reach cord-cutters and out-of-home viewers, and to test the viewership waters outside the U.S., not to supplant its traditional broadcast deals. For Amazon, the NFL deal is a way to enhance the value of a Prime subscription and to attract to new subscribers at a relatively modest price. Read More »

E-sports competition driving live OTT broadcasting
January 14, 2015 By Paul SweetingBlog
Given how much traffic it draws — to say nothing of suitors — it was inevitable that Twitch.tv would attract competitors. And now it has. Paris-based Dailymotion on Wednesday announced the launch of Dailymotion Games, a new live-streaming platform dedicated to gaming (h/t VentureBeat).
According to the press release, gaming content already generates more than 180 million video views per month for Dailymotion, and according to comScore, and attracts more than 11 million unique visitors per month globally. With the new platform, broadcasters will be able to “create live streams, monitor them through a dedicated control panel and monetize their content via user-controlled video advertisements.”
The platform also incorporates a chat system to allow for real-time conversations between live streamers and viewers.

By: Derek On: September 25, 2018 In: Company News Comments: 0
Last week wrapped up the American Trucking Association’s annual TMC National Technician Skills Competition (SuperTech) held in Orlando Florida. For the 3rd consecutive year, we’re pleased to announce that all technicians (5 in total) representing Dickinson Fleet Services advanced to the Finals in their respective divisions. We’re also very pleased to announce that for the 3rd straight year, Jeff Brinkman and Jose Feliciano placed higher than their previous visit.
TMC SuperTech Final Standings
Once again, our technicians exemplified excellence by representing the company among the best of the best at TMC SuperTech . Out of the top 150+ technicians, all 5 racked up enough points to advance to the Finals. Here’s the breakdown…
Heavy-Duty Vehicle Skills Division
Jeff Brinkman, 2016 Top Tech Champion, finished in 82nd place, considerably advancing his 102nd place finish in 2017.
Jeremy Piepmeier, 2018 Top Tech Champion, finished in 51st place in his first year of competition at the national level.
Jose Feliciano, 2017 Top Tech Champion, finished in 40th place, bettering his 44th place finish in 2017.
Trailer Skills Division
Darren Thul, a finalist at the 2016 Top Tech competition was the 2018 Top Trailer Tech Champion. Darren finished in 11th place overall this year, 2 places better than the DFS Top Trailer Tech finished in 2017.
Light/Medium-Duty Vehicle Skills Division
Zach Nikorak, a 2018 Top Tech Finalist qualified as the Company’s Light/Medium Duty (LMD) contestant based on his LMD skill scores in the 2018 Top Tech competition. Zach finished in 6th place in the competition overall. This year was the first ever appearance for the LMD track in the SuperTech competition.
Zach took 1st place in the “Lubricants” skill station was recognized on-stage at the awards banquet. This achievement means that Zach has the honor of being recognized as the very best in the nation at this skill set. What an incredible honor for Zach and Dickinson Fleet Services!
Celebrating Their Achievements
TMC members from across the industry, SuperTech competitors and their spouses were in attendance at the SuperTech awards banquet held at the Marriott World Center Resort in Orlando, Florida, as TMC awarded over $100,000 in cash and prizes to technicians competing from all over the United States. We were all very proud to see our team represented so well among the best of the best.
Getting Stronger Each Year
Each year, our team continues to perform better than the previous year TMC SuperTech. This could not have been possible this year without three members of the Top Tech Competition team, Larry Fowler, Bill Souers and Brennan Elkins serving as Mentors to help lead our technicians into battle. Thank you, Mentors!
And once again, THANK YOU to everyone who played a role in helping during the Top Tech competition all the way to the SuperTech Finals in Orlando. We wouldn’t be able to pull this off year after year without your support. We’re all #DFSPROUD of all of our Top Techs, our Maintenance Excellence leaders, and their performance during the Top Tech competition here in 2018.

Warner Home Video presents
Suspicion (1941)
"What did you think I was trying to do? Kill you?"
- Johnnie (Cary Grant)
Review By: Jon Danziger
Stars: Joan Fontaine, Cary Grant
Other Stars: Nigel Bruce, Dame May Whitty, Sir Cedric Hardwicke
Genre: suspense thriller
A+ A B+ B- C+
Did Alfred Hitchcock hate women? That's certainly a prevalent assumption in much of the critical writing on his work, and while it may be true, men don't always fare a whole lot better. Admittedly, the boys aren't as routinely terrorized in Hitchcock movies the way that the fairer sex frequently is, but it's Hitch's view of humanity generally that seems always to be cloaked in darkness. Whichever side of the proposition you want to argue, you'll find lots of red meat with Suspicion, Hitchcock's second film made in America (after Rebecca), and academic debates aside, you'll also find this to be a ripsnorting good time.
As she was in Rebecca, Hitch's leading lady is Joan Fontaine, who plays Lena, to the manner born, but, according to her family, "not the marrying sort." (In this context, anyway, that's euphemism for "old maid," not "lesbian.") And then along comes Johnnie, the effortlessly charming young man who is the object of all the young ladies' attention, Lena included. Can it be that he feels for her as deeply as she does for him?
The movie charts the relationship between these two—they're soon married, but goodness knows it's a short-lived honeymoon. Suspicion is among other things one of the great extended film exercises in point of view: we know only what Lena knows, we learn what she learns. (In this respect, then, as spectators we are asked intensely to identify with Lena, and I think it's too much to say that Hitchcock hated his audience as viscerally as some contend he hated women.) And what she learns about Johnnie isn't very good, at all: his shady past (a co-respondent in another's divorce?), his gambling, his debts. It's bad enough to learn that your new husband is an embezzler. It's something more than insult to injury to suspect that he's trying to kill you.
That's the central tension of the picture: is the gold-digging Johnnie looking to off Lena for the insurance money, or her inheritance? In modern parlance, Lena would probably be a textbook abused woman, an enabler; she makes one horrid discovery after another about Johnnie, but continues to forgive him. (How's this for an annual review from your boss? "I told Johnnie I wouldn't prosecute.") And it's played with astounding vitality by the two lead actors. Fontaine is marvelous, both steely and delicate, full of the title attribute yet unable or unwilling to follow her intuition to its obvious conclusion. Just as good is Cary Grant, in his first Hitchcock picture. His Johnnie has an obvious menace that doesn't show up in, say, C.K. Dexter Haven, but is startling and present; how can he be both so charming and so venomous? (Because he's maybe the greatest actor in screen history, that's how.) Even if he's not homicidal, he's got the delusions of Biff Loman and the outsized ego of Donald Trump; he may or may not be gaslighting the wife, but he's definitely a player.
And as ever no one is better than Hitchcock in fetishizing props, in using them to externalize his characters' internal conflicts. A pair of ancient armchairs become a powerful symbol of a marriage gone awry; there's danger in Scrabble; and there's no use crying over the most menacing thing in this whole menacing affair, a glass of milk. Some enterprising up and comer from the American Dairy Council ought to see about licensing this clip—imagine the ad: Cary rushing up the stairs with the glass aglow, the pity and terror and acceptance in Joan's eyes, him rushing over with said glass to her bedside, and the graphic comes up: Got Milk?
Rating for Style: A+
Rating for Substance: A
Aspect Ratio 1.33:1 - Full Frame
Anamorphic no
Image Transfer Review: Occasional resolution problems are pointed up by Grant's natty wardrobe—his checkered ties and striped suits occasionally tend to shine, and they shouldn't. But otherwise this is a pretty impressive transfer, with some spectacular black-and-white photography from cinematographer Harry Stradling.
Mono English no
Audio Transfer Review: There are some problems with the dynamics on the mono track; Franz Waxman's score is excellent, but occasionally swallows up the dialogue. The limitation, though, seems to come not from the transfer, but from the source material.
Audio Transfer Grade: B-
Static menu with music
Subtitles/Captions in English, French, Spanish with remote access
1 Original Trailer(s)
1 Documentaries
Layers: dual
Extras Review: Joan Fontaine talks directly to the camera in an original trailer; the only other extra is Before the Fact: Suspicious Hitchcock (21m:34s), a documentary that takes its name from the novel on which the film is based. (I haven't read the novel, but for a fascinating compare and contrast, check out the Library of America's volume of the works of Nathanael West; it includes West's screenplay adaptation of the same book, one that seems not to have been used at all for Hitchcock's film.) Among those interviewed are Hitchcock scholar Bill Krohn, the director's daughter Pat Hitchcock O'Connell, critics Robert Osborne and Richard Schickel, and director Peter Bogdanovich; it's an intriguing look at, among other things, the original ending that Hitchcock wanted to shoot, and at the horror of colorization, inflicted on the movie in the 1980s by Ted Turner.
Extras Grade: C+
Hitchcock, Fontaine, and Grant are all in fine fettle, and Suspicion may well be the best and most sustained exercise in point of view in film history. A classic, terrific movie, one of the pictures that rightly earned the director his moniker as the master of suspense.

Patel: A Life
Rajmohan Gandhi
Navajivan Trust
From Amazon: "“PATEL A LIFE” Tells, for the first time, the full story of the life of Vallabhbhai, the ploughboy who helped liberate India and then, in 1947-9, welded her into one nation. Built from correspondence and diaries, including the Sardar's letter and the remarkable diary kept by his daughter Manibhen, PATEL is as authentic, intimate and complete an account as can be assembled. “That there is today an India to think and talk about,” President Rajendra Prasad wrote in May 1959, “is very largely due to Sardar Patel's statesmanship and firm administration.” “Yet,” added Prasad, “we are apt to ignore him.” If ignored, Sardar Patel is also missed. Troubled times engender a longing for the grip on India's affairs that Patel had. How he acquired that grip is part of PATEL'S story. A quarter-century after the selection of India's first Premier, C. Rajagopalachari recalled the event and wrote: “Undoubtedly it would have been better if Nehru had been asked to be Foreign Minister and Patel made the Prime Minister.”

Shropshire tile company wins top awards
Craven Dunnill Jackfield has underlined its ranking as the leading manufacturer and supplier of specialist tiles for major restoration projects, having taken top honours in the TTA Awards. The company has been named in The Tile Association Awards as both winner of the prestigious Excellence in Manufacturing and as the manufacturer for the Best Renovation Project 2017.
The latter award was given in recognition of the company’s feat in manufacturing more than 7,000 historically-accurate tiles, across 40 different formats, to match the remains of the original tiled floor at The Garrick Club’s Great Hall, London, working in association with the contractor Harper & Edwards.
Craven Dunnill Jackfield has won six top awards in the last four years for its unique prowess in traditional, hand-made tile production and solutions-led delivery of complex tile projects.
In the last 12 months alone Craven Dunnill Jackfield has bespoke manufactured tiles for several, high profile restoration projects, which all required specialised ceramic expertise, unique to the company.

Estimated global mortality attributable to smoke from landscape fires
Johnston, FH and Henderson, SB and Chen, Y and Randerson, JT and Marlier, M and DeFries, RS and Kinney, P and Bowman, DMJS and Brauer, M, Estimated global mortality attributable to smoke from landscape fires, Environmental Health Perspectives, 120, (5) pp. 695-701.

Background: Forest, grass, and peat fires release approximately 2 petagrams of carbon into the atmosphere each year, influencing weather, climate, and air quality.
Objective: We estimated the annual global mortality attributable to landscape fire smoke (LFS).
Methods: Daily and annual exposure to particulate matter ≤ 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5) from fire emissions was estimated globally for 1997 through 2006 by combining outputs from a chemical transport model with satellite-based observations of aerosol optical depth. In World Health Organization (WHO) subregions classified as sporadically affected, the daily burden of mortality was estimated using previously published concentration–response coefficients for the association between short-term elevations in PM2.5 from LFS (contrasted with 0 μg/m3 from LFS) and all-cause mortality. In subregions classified as chronically affected, the annual burden of mortality was estimated using the American Cancer Society study coefficient for the association between long-term PM2.5 exposure and all-cause mortality. The annual average PM2.5 estimates were contrasted with theoretical minimum (counterfactual) concentrations in each chronically affected subregion. Sensitivity of mortality estimates to different exposure assessments, counterfactual estimates, and concentration–response functions was evaluated. Strong La Niña and El Niño years were compared to assess the influence of interannual climatic variability.
Results: Our principal estimate for the average mortality attributable to LFS exposure was 339,000 deaths annually. In sensitivity analyses the interquartile range of all tested estimates was 260,000–600,000. The regions most affected were sub-Saharan Africa (157,000) and Southeast Asia (110,000). Estimated annual mortality during La Niña was 262,000, compared with 532,000 during El Niño.
Conclusions: Fire emissions are an important contributor to global mortality. Adverse health outcomes associated with LFS could be substantially reduced by curtailing burning of tropical rainforests, which rarely burn naturally. The large estimated influence of El Niño suggests a relationship between climate and the burden of mortality attributable to LFS.

Cary Digital's methodology and approach
We take a technology-neutral approach to our design work. We take a structured approach to our work by which we mean that we establish the way we are going to build something and ensure that we follow that methodology consistently throughout the project lifecycle. If something needs to be changed mid-way, we make sure that change is retrofitted to the whole design, so that consistency is maintained.
In the worlds of graphics, website design and computer programming in general there are one hundred and one ways to do most things. What counts is being consistent. Through consistency comes predictability. For those who try and interpret what we have designed, whether they are users, clients, or other developers, consistency means readability.
Larry Wall, the developer of Perl, one of the most successful computer scripting languages, said this of his language:
“As for Perl, it has never been ‘structured’ in that sense, though it has always been structured in the sense that you can create as much structure as you like. The whole point is that the structure is optional, not imposed externally.”
We wholeheartedly subscribe to this approach.

Upper secondary students’ task reasoning2008In: International journal of mathematical education in science and technology, ISSN 0020-739X, E-ISSN 1464-5211, Vol. 39, no 1, p. 1-12Article in journal (Refereed)
Upper secondary students’ task solving reasoning was analysed, with a focus on grounds for different strategy choices and implementations. The results indicate that mathematically well-founded considerations were rare. The dominating reasoning types were algorithmic reasoning, where students tried to remember a suitable algorithm, sometimes in a random way, and guided reasoning, where progress was possible only when essentially all important strategy choices were made by the interviewer.

Children’s conceptions about mathematics and mathematics education2010In: Current state of research on mathematical beliefs XVI: proceedings of the MAVI-16 Conference June 26-29, 2010, Tallinn, Estonia / [ed] Kirsti Kislenko, 2010Conference paper (Refereed)
This paper deals with younger students’ (grade 2 and 5) conceptions about mathematics and mathematics education. The questionnaire consisted of three parts: (1) statements with a Likert-scale; (2) open-end questions where the students could explain further their conceptions; and, (3) a request to draw a picture of yourself doing mathematics. The results from the statements were summarised and the pictures were analysed. Most students in grade 2 had a positive attitude towards mathematics whereas a larger proportion in grade 5 gave negative answers. All students presented mathematics as an individual activity with a focus on the textbook. The elder students narrow the activity down to calculating. A post-questionnaire confirmed the results.

A model for the role of the physical environment in mathematics education2018In: Nordisk matematikkdidaktikk, ISSN 1104-2176, Vol. 3, no 1Article in journal (Refereed)
In this paper, we develop an analytical tool for the role of the physical environment in mathematics education. We do this by extending the didactical triangle with the physical environment as a fourth actor and test it in a review of literature concerning the physical environment and mathematics education. We find that one role played by the physical environment, in relation to mathematical content, is to portray the content in focus, such as geometry and scale. When focusing on teachers, students, and the interaction between them, the role of the physical environment appears to be a precondition, either positive (enabling) or negative (hindering). Many of the findings are valid for education in general as well, such as the importance of building status.

Mathematical reasoning and beliefs in non-routine task solving2015In: Current State of Research on Mathematical Beliefs XX: Proceedings of the MAVI-20 Conference September 29 - October 1, 2014, Falun, Sweden / [ed] Lovisa Sumpter, Falun: Högskolan Dalarna, 2015, p. 115-125Conference paper (Other academic)
This paper explores low performing upper secondary school students’ mathematical reasoning when solving non-routine tasks in pairs. Their solutions were analysed using a theoretical framework about mathematical reasoning and a model to study beliefs as arguments for choices. The results confirm previous research and three themes of beliefs are used by the student. These themes are safety, expectations, and motivation. The results also show a connection between beliefs and imitative reasoning as a way to solve non-routine tasks.
A reason to believe: beliefs as an influence on students task solving2008Report (Other academic)
Upper secondary students’ task solving reasoning was analysed, with a focus on what grounds they had for different strategy choices and conclusions. Beliefs were identified and connected with the reasoning that took place. The results indicate that beliefs have an impact on the central decisions made during task solving. Three themes stand out: safety, expectation and motivation.

‘Boys press all the buttons and hope it will help’: Upper secondary school teachers’ gendered conceptions about students’ mathematical reasoning2016In: International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, ISSN 1571-0068, E-ISSN 1573-1774, Vol. 14, no 8, p. 1535-1552Article in journal (Refereed)
Previous results show that Swedish upper secondary school teachers attribute gender to cases describing different types of mathematical reasoning. The purpose of this study was to investigate how these teachers gender stereotype aspects of students’ mathematical reasoning by studying the symbols that were attributed to boys and girls, respectively, in a written questionnaire. The results from the content analysis showed that girls were attributed gender symbols including insecurity, use of standard methods and imitative reasoning, and boys were assigned symbols such as multiple strategies especially on the calculator, guessing and chance-taking.

Four female mathematicians’ collective narrative: reasons to leave academia2014In: Philosophy of Mathematics Education Journal, ISSN 1465-2978, E-ISSN 1465-2978, no 28Article in journal (Refereed)
In this paper, I explore four Swedish female mathematicians arguments for why they decided not to work in academia after finishing their PhD. These stories were merged into one narrative, the fictive voice of Sarah. Her story describes life as a female PhD student in a mathematics department as a positive experience. The two main reasons to why she decided not to stay at the university were (1) the difficulty of getting a job, and (2) her wanting to work with applications and problem solving instead of working with the development of theories.
Investigating upper secondary school teachers’ conceptions: is mathematical reasoning considered gendered?2016In: International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, ISSN 1571-0068, E-ISSN 1573-1774, Vol. 14, no s2, p. 347-362Article in journal (Refereed)
This study examines Swedish upper secondary school teachers’ gendered conceptions about students’ mathematical reasoning: whether reasoning was considered gendered and, if so, which type of reasoning was attributed to girls and boys. The sample consisted of 62 teachers from six different schools from four different locations in Sweden. The results showed that boys were significantly more often attributed to memorised reasoning and delimiting algorithmic reasoning. Girls were connected to gamiliar algorithmic reasoning, a reasoning type where you use standard method when solving a mathematical task. Creative mathematical founded reasoning, which is novel, plausible and founded in mathematical properties, was not considered gendered.

On Aspects of Mathematical Reasoning: Affect and Gender2009Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
This thesis explores two aspects of mathematical reasoning: affect and gender. I started by looking at the reasoning of upper secondary students when solving tasks. This work revealed that when not guided by an interviewer, algorithmic reasoning, based on memorising algorithms which may or may not be appropriate for the task, was predominant in the students reasoning. Given this lack of mathematical grounding in students reasoning I looked in a second study at what grounds they had for different strategy choices and conclusions. This qualitative study suggested that beliefs about safety, expectation and motivation were important in the central decisions made during task solving. But are reasoning and beliefs gendered? The third study explored upper secondary school teachers conceptions about gender and students mathematical reasoning. In this study I found that upper secondary school teachers attributed gender symbols including insecurity, use of standard methods and imitative reasoning to girls and symbols such as multiple strategies especially on the calculator, guessing and chance-taking were assigned to boys. In the fourth and final study I found that students, both male and female, shared their teachers view of rather traditional feminities and masculinities. Remarkably however, this result did not repeat itself when students were asked to reflect on their own behaviour: there were some discrepancies between the traits the students ascribed as gender different and the traits they ascribed to themselves. Taken together the thesis suggests that, contrary to conceptions, girls and boys share many of the same core beliefs about mathematics, but much work is still needed if we should create learning environments that provide better opportunities for students to develop beliefs that guide them towards well-grounded mathematical reasoning.
Pre-school mathematics – a gendered activity?2012In: ICME12-Proceedings, 2012Conference paper (Refereed)
The interactions between two pre-school teachers and their students were analysed looking at turn-taking in communication and content in mathematical activities. The results indicate that girls are often placed in the role of help-teachers. Also, the teachers demand more of the girls than the boys. In common talking space boys’ reasoning are more frequently highlighted. Girls are attributed properties such as ‘cute’ and boys ’cool’. The two teachers consider this behaviour as something “that you do”.
Preschool teachers' conceptions about mathematics2015In: Views and Beliefs in Mathematics Education: 19th International Conference on Mathematical Beliefs (MAVI), 25-28 September 2013, Freiburg, Germany / [ed] Carola Bernack-Schüler, Ralf Erens, Timo Leuders, Andreas Eichler, Springer, 2015, p. 55-66Chapter in book (Refereed)
This study looks at Swedish preschool teachers conceptions about mathematics and emotional directions towards mathematics. The results indicate that the preschool teachers are positive towards mathematics. When describing what mathematics is at preschool level, most teachers lists mathematical products such as mathematical concepts and procedures in arithmetic and geometry.
Recreational Mathematics - Only For Fun?2015In: Journal of Humanistic Mathematics, ISSN 2159-8118, E-ISSN 2159-8118, Vol. 5, no 1, p. 121-138 Article in journal (Refereed)
In this paper, I explore recreational mathematics from two perspectives. I first study how the concept appears in educational policy documents such as standards, syllabi, and curricula from a selection of countries to see if and in what way recreational mathematics can play a part in school mathematics. I find that recreational mathematics can be a central part, as in the case of India, but also completely invisible, as in the standards from USA. In the second part of the report, I take an educational historical approach. I observe that throughout history, recreational mathematics has been an important tool for learning mathematics. Recreational mathematics is then both a way of bringing pleasure and a tool for learning mathematics. Can it also be a tool for social empowerment?

Teachers' conceptions about students' mathematical reasoning: Gendered or not?2009Report (Other academic)

Themes and interplay of beliefs in mathematical reasoning2013In: International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, ISSN 1571-0068, E-ISSN 1573-1774, Vol. 11, no 5, p. 1115-1135Article in journal (Refereed)
Upper secondary students’ task solving reasoning was analysed with a focus on arguments for strategy choices and conclusions. Passages in their arguments for reasoning that indicated the students’ beliefs were identified and, by using a thematic analysis, categorized. The results stress three themes of beliefs used as arguments for central decisions: safety, expectations and motivation. Arguments such as ‘I don’t trust my own reasoning’, ‘mathematical tasks should be solved in a specific way’ and ‘using this specific algorithm is the only way for me to solve this problem’ exemplify these three themes. These themes of beliefs seem to interplay with each other, for instance in students’ strategy choices when solving mathematical tasks.
Upper secondary school students’ gendered conceptions about affect in mathematics2012In: Nordisk matematikkdidaktikk, ISSN 1104-2176, Vol. 17, no 2, p. 27-47Article in journal (Refereed)
This study explores upper secondary school students’ conceptions about gender and affect in mathematics. Two groups of students from Swedish Natural Science Programme each answered a questionnaire; the first with a focus on boys and girls in general and the other with a focus on individuals themselves. The results from two questionnaires were compared. The first questionnaire revealed a view of rather traditional femininities and masculinities, a result that did not repeat itself in the second questionnaire. There was a discrepancy between traits students ascribed as gender different and traits students ascribed to themselves.

Why Anna left academia2014In: Proceedings of the 38th Conference of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education and the 36th Conference of the North American Chapter of the Psychology of Mathematics Education (Vol. 5) / [ed] Nicol, C., Oesterle, S., Liljedahl, P., & Allan, D., Vancouver, Canada: PME , 2014, p. 217-224Conference paper (Refereed)
This paper aims to explain why Swedish female mathematicians decide not to work in academia. The stories of five women were merged into one narrative. Anna describes a struggle with her own self-identity in a gendered structure that most often involved implicit power. One of the main reasons for not working in a mathematics department after finishing their PhD was the difficulty in getting a job without support.

Grade 2 and grade 5 students' conceptions about mathematics and mathematics education2012In: Proceedings of NORMA 11: The sixth Nordic conference on mathematics education, Reykjavik, 2012, p. 187-196Conference paper (Refereed)
Students’ conceptions about mathematics and mathematics education were investigated with a special focus on emotions and motivation. The results show that both grades describe mathematics education as an individual activity taking place at a school bench with a workbook. But whereas grade 2 students are positively oriented towards mathematics, grade 5 students show a more negative view. Also, the dominance of intrinsic motivation indicated by grade 2 students was not repeated in grade 5, where the responses showed a movement towards extrinsic motivation.

Preschool children's collective mathematical reasoning during free outdoor play2015In: Journal of Mathematical Behavior, ISSN 0732-3123, E-ISSN 1873-8028, Vol. 39, p. 1-10Article in journal (Refereed)
This paper illustrates how young children (age 1–5) use mathematical properties in collective reasoning during free outdoor play. The analysis of three episodes is presented. The results from the analysis of the argumentation show that the children used a variation of mathematical products and procedures, to challenge, support and drive the reasoning forward. When needed, they utilise concrete materials to illustrate and strengthen their arguments, and as an aid in order to reach conclusions. The children also use abstract social constructs, such as jokes, as part of their reasoning.

Prospective teachers’ conceptions of what characterize a gifted student in mathematics2013Conference paper (Refereed)
This paper explores Swedish prospective teachers’ conceptions of what characterise a gifted student in mathematics. This was studied through a qualitative questionnaire focusing on attributions. The results show that a majority of the students attribute intrinsic motivation to gifted students, more often than extrinsic motivation. Other themes were other affective factors (e.g. being industrious), cognitive factors (e.g. easy to learn), and social factors such as good behaviour and background.

On a Saturday evening in November 1687, Francis Cook was in a cornfield near a swamp when he heard a dog cry.

On 29 November, at the funeral of Isaac Dix, the incident was a hot topic of conversation.

Ojos de Brujo Techarí
By Derek Nawrot
Five years after their critically acclaimed Barí album, which sold over 100,000 copies and won them accolades world-wide, including the BBC naming them Europes best band, Barcelonas Ojos de Brujo continue to forge musical paths into their vibrant and colourful fusion of flamenco and regional Spanish sounds woven into jazz, hip-hop, gypsy music and other world sounds. Reflective of the eight-piece bands history as a musical collective in Barcelona, Techarí (which means "free in the gypsy language) is musically an overwhelming listen with its start-stop flamenco guitar rhythms punctuated one moment by pounding techno beats or scratching and the next by beautiful Latin jazz horns. The album, which retains the same organic sound as its predecessor, journeys from funk to a Catalan take on rumba and Indian and Eastern rhythms, no doubt courtesy of friends Asian Dub Foundation, who show up amongst the varied guest list, which also includes a member of Senegalese hip-hop collective Daara J and Nitin Sawhney, the South Asian fusion maestro. The music acts as a foundation for the ethereal voice of singer Marina "la Canillas Abad, whose distinct voice soars between fiery rap and punk shouts to weaving a sensual, trance-like state in which the vocals are sometimes inaudible, but when combined with the heavily enduring flamenco-style guitar make for a truly global feel that knows no borders.

BOOK REVIEW: New Boy, by Tracy Chevalier
6 July 2017 6 July 2017 - Meg Leave a comment
Title: New Boy by Tracy Chevalier
Series: Hogarth Shakespeare #5
Published by Hogarth
Published: May 11th 2017
Genres: Fiction, Retellings
Source: Blogging for Books
From the New York Times bestselling author of Girl with a Pearl Earring comes the fifth installment in the Hogarth Shakespeare series, a modern retelling of Othello set in a suburban schoolyard
Arriving at his fifth school in as many years, a diplomat's son, Osei Kokote, knows he needs an ally if he is to survive his first day so he's lucky to hit it off with Dee, the most popular girl in school. But one student can't stand to witness this budding relationship: Ian decides to destroy the friendship between the black boy and the golden girl. By the end of the day, the school and its key players - teachers and pupils alike - will never be the same again.
The tragedy of Othello is transposed to a 1970's suburban Washington schoolyard, where kids fall in and out of love with each other before lunchtime, and practice a casual racism picked up from their parents and teachers. Peeking over the shoulders of four 11 year olds Osei, Dee, Ian, and his reluctant girlfriend Mimi, Tracy Chevalier's powerful drama of friends torn apart by jealousy, bullying and betrayal will leave you reeling.
You are not my brother, O thought. He hated it when white people used that word, trying to take on some of the coolness of black culture without wearing the skin and paying the dues.
Tracy Chevalier’s New Boy is the latest installment in the Hogarth Shakespeare series, and I think it’s one of my favorites of the series. Having studied and taught Othello, I felt as if I were able to deconstruct the novella as I was reading it and delight in the correlations of the novella to the play.
Osei, or O, is a Ghanian diplomat’s son, and he is attending a new school in the 1970s in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. when a series of dramatic events unfold on school grounds from first bell to the final bell. It’s evident from the beginning that O is one of the only black students to attend this school, and that sets him apart immediately. Racial tensions are high, and everyone from the students to the instructors harbors some kind of prejudice toward O either through their own ignorance or through something that happens during the span of the day.
I thought Chevalier’s transposition of the dramatics of Othello to a schoolyard playground with all of its hormone-fueled rage, jealousies, and love was spectacularly done. Somehow the age of the major characters seemed to elevate the drama to something at once so believable and frightening. The final scene in the novella is heart-stopping and ends abruptly. I only wish there was more, a few pages of the aftermath, but as in the play, the reader is left with a quick cut to a black screen without that neat resolution.
In such a small book, Chevalier weaves a depth in each of her major characters, and her talent really shines in her development of O’s struggles at home, with himself and his place in the world, and how those struggles clash with the reality he faces at his new school. You feel his awkwardness, his intelligence, his anger, his love, and his wrath in a mere two hundred pages, and you’re left wanting to know more about this young man by the time the book ends.
New Boy is a masterful retelling of one of Shakespeare’s most racially charged plays, and it had me hooked from page one.

Gaza fishermen survive Israeli machinegun fire
The Israeli navy on Sunday morning opened heavy machinegun fire on Palestinian fishermen off Gaza shore.
A PIC journalist quoted local sources as saying that Israeli gunboats opened fire on Palestinian fishermen and vessels sailing in Gaza waters.
A group of Palestinian fishermen survived the bullet attack while their boat sustained damage. The fishermen were forced to go back ashore for fear of being killed.
The attack is another chain in the series of Israeli violations of the Cairo-brokered ceasefire deal struck in the wake of the 2014 Israeli offensive on the besieged coastal enclave.
Two Palestinians injured by Israel gunfire in W. Bank and Gaza
Two Palestinian young people suffered injuries when Israeli soldiers opened fire at them in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
Medical sources said that a young man named Mohamed Qashqish, from Halhoul town in al-Khalil, suffered a bullet injury in the leg after soldiers opened fire at him during his presence near the separation wall in Dar Salah town, east of Bethlehem.
The sources added that the young man was evacuated to a local hospital to receive medical treatment.
In Gaza, a young woman suffered a trauma and slight bruises when soldiers in the military post of Sofa, east of Rafah, opened fire close to her.
Local sources reported seeing a girl falling to the ground near the border fence after soldiers fired a volley of bullets around her.
They added that the soldiers prevented an ambulance crew from evacuating the girl for more than half an hour.
The Palestinian police, for their part, conducted an investigation into the incident to know the reason for the presence of the girl in the area.
IOF attacks farmers east of Khan Younis in Gaza
The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Friday morning opened fire at Palestinian farmers east of Khan Younis area, south of the Gaza Strip, with no reported casualties.
Local sources reported that Israeli soldiers behind the border fence opened fire randomly at farmers working on their lands east of Khan Younis, adding that the intensity of shooting forced them to leave their lands.
A similar incident happened yesterday when a group of farmers tried to access their lands in the same area.
Army Opens Fire On Gaza Farmers
Israeli soldiers opened fire, on Thursday morning, on a number of Palestinian farmers in their lands, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, and east of Gaza city.
The WAFA Palestinian News Agency said the soldiers, stationed across the border fence, fired many live rounds on the farmers, while working in their own lands, forcing them away.
WAFA said the two latest attacks targeted Palestinian lands east of Khan Younis city, in the southern part of the coastal region, and east of Gaza city.
The Israeli army conducts frequent violations against Palestinians, and their lands, in areas close to the border fence, in the northern and eastern parts of the Gaza Strip, an issue that prevents dozens of families from planning their lands.
Similar attacks also target Palestinian fishers in Gaza territorial waters, in direct violation of the Oslo accords, and every ceasefire agreement.
Gaza: The southeastern border saw unusual military moves last night
The southeastern border of the Gaza Strip on Wednesday evening saw intensive Israeli military moves as flares were lightening up its sky.
An official field observer told Quds Press that the border area between Kissufim military post and al-Sanatti area, east of Khan Younis town, had witnessed on Wednesday night active movement of military troops and armored vehicles, including tanks.
As usual during such overnight military moves, he said, flare bombs were heavily fired over the area.
Israeli army launches limited incursion into blockaded Gaza
Nine Israeli army vehicles on Wednesday morning moved some 150 meters into eastern al-Bureij refugee camp, in central Gaza Strip.
A PIC journalist quoted eyewitnesses as saying that four Israeli army bulldozers, three military tanks, and two troop-carriers moved 150 meters into Palestinians’ cultivated lands in eastern al-Bureij camp and leveled the area.
Shortly afterwards, the Israeli occupation troops moved southwards to the border area in Deir al-Balah city.
The incursion is another chain in the series of Israeli violations of the ceasefire deal struck in the wake of the 2014 offensive on the besieged coastal enclave of Gaza.
2 Palestinian fishermen arrested off Gaza shores
Israeli naval forces detained Tuesday night two Palestinian fishermen off the coast of Beit Lahya north of Gaza Strip, while fishing boats were targeted while sailing off Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza.
Palestinian media sources identified the two detained fishermen as Aahed and Munis Zayid. Israeli forces also confiscated their fishing boat before taking them to an unknown location, the sources added.
Meanwhile, Palestinian fishing boats came under fire while sailing off the coast of Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza Strip. No injuries were reported during the attack.
However, the fishermen were forced to leave the sea. The IOF carries out attacks on land and at sea of the Gaza Strip on a near-daily basis, often putting Palestinian fishermen and farmers and their livelihoods at risk.
IOA to allow in cement for Gaza projects
The contractors union in Gaza said that the Israeli occupation authority (IOA) would start to allow shipments of construction cement into the Strip early next week.
In press remarks to the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) on Monday, head of the union Osama Kahil stated that pledges were made in this regard following efforts made by the Palestinian ministry of civil affairs.
Kahil added that these cement shipments, which would be used for specific projects, were supposed to arrive in Gaza last week, but the IOA postponed their entry until next week.
He pointed out that Turkish, US, German and Qatari institutions recently received some truckloads of cement for their projects in the Strip.
However, the IOA has not decided yet to allow in cement for civilians, factories and merchants, according to him.
Army Uproots Palestinian Farmlands East Of Gaza
On Tuesday morning, several Israeli army vehicles, and bulldozers, invaded Palestinian agricultural lands, east of Gaza city, and uprooted them, in addition to firing live rounds and smoke bombs.
The Palestinian News & Info Agency (WAFA) said three Israeli tanks, and three armored bulldozers, advanced approximately 150 meters into Palestinian farmlands, and uprooted them.
WAFA added that the army vehicles came from “Nahal Oz” military base, across the border fence, east of the Sheja’eyya neighborhood, east of Gaza city.
The soldiers also demolished a concrete wall, near the Karni Crossing, east of Gaza city, and fired smoke bombs in addition to several live rounds.
The army carries out frequent limited invasions into Palestinian lands, close to the border fence, in the northern and eastern parts of the Gaza Strip, and prevents the Palestinian from entering their own lands.
International projects in Gaza receive cement despite private sector ban
International organizations in the Gaza Strip received a cement delivery on Saturday, while a suspension on cement imports for the private sector was still being enforced by Israeli authorities.
Head of the Palestinian Contractors Union Osama Kahil told Ma’an that 2,000 tons of cement entered the Gaza Strip through the Kerem Shalom crossing on Saturday, and he expected further cement deliveries to enter in the coming week due to efforts by the Palestinian Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The shipments of cement would allow reconstruction efforts by international organizations to continue in the besieged coastal enclave, and return jobs to 40,000 construction workers who have been out of work since the last cement delivery, Kahil said.
Reconstruction efforts in the Gaza Strip have also been “expanded to include Turkish, German, and American plans in addition to the UN and Qatari plans of reconstruction,” Kahil added.
He assured efforts by the Palestinian Minister of Civil Affairs Hussein al-Sheikh were ongoing to continue the flow of cement through Kerem Shalom.
A spokesperson for Israel’s Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) told Ma’an that the suspension of construction materials entering the Gaza Strip was still being enforced due to “exploitation of construction materials by Hamas,” and that the ban would still be in place “until the issue is addressed.”
They added that the suspension only affected the private sector, and that entry for international projects was proceeding as usual.
Saturday’s delivery comes one week after it was revealed Israeli forces uncovered and destroyed a tunnel passing from the Gaza Strip into Israel, once a gag order by Israel’s government was lifted on its discovery.
The tunnel -- the first to be found since Israel's devastating military offensive on the coastal enclave in 2014 -- was reportedly discovered one week prior to the publication of the incident, around the time Israel suspended delivery of cement into the Gaza Strip.
Israeli authorities have previously accused the Gaza Strip's de facto ruling party Hamas of stealing reconstruction material to sell on the black market and use to build tunnels.
Reconstruction efforts following the the 50-day war have been painfully slow -- hindered by Israel's blockade, ongoing disputes between Gaza's de facto leaders Hamas and the Fatah-dominated PA, and a severe shortage of foreign assistance.
Israeli Navy Ships Open Fire On Palestinian Fishing Boats
Israeli navy ships opened fire, earlier Monday, on a number of Palestinian fishing boats in Gaza waters, in the northern part of the coastal region.
The fishers had to sail back to shore in order to avoid further assaults and violations; the attack led to property damage but no injuries.
On April 3, Israel unilaterally decided to extend the fishing zone, off some parts of the Gaza coast, to nine miles, instead of six.
The areas, where the fishing zone was increased, extend from Wadi Gaza, west of Gaza city, until the western part of Rafah, in the southern part of the coastal region.
Israel frequently and unilaterally reduced it to six, then three, and to six again, before eventually increasing it, in certain areas, to nine nautical miles.
Under the Oslo agreements, the Palestinians are supposed to be able to fish and sail within twenty nautical miles, but Israel kept unilaterally decreasing it.
Mezan Center slams Israeli attacks on Gaza fishermen
The Mezan Center for Human Rights on Sunday raised alarm bells over the surge in Israeli attacks on Palestinian fishermen in the blockaded Gaza Strip. The Mezan center spoke out against the arbitrary abductions and confiscations to which Gaza’s fishermen have been subjected on a quasi-daily basis.
The most recent among these violations occurred on Sunday morning as the Israeli occupation navy arrested two fishermen in western Beit Lahia, to the north of the Gaza Strip, and confiscated their vessels after they opened fire on the fishing boats setting sail off Gaza shores.
Mezan identified the two fishermen as 23-year-old Ibrahim al-Sultan and 19-year-old Urans al-Sultan. The center quoted Uran’s father as stating that his son and relative were arrested moments after they threw their nets within 600 meters of Gaza’s waters. The Israeli navy boats chased them down and opened fire on the boats before they forced the two fishermen to take off their clothes and swim towards the Israeli gunboat. The two fishermen were forced to leave the area for fear of being killed while the occupation navy seized their boats.
The Mezan Center spoke up for Palestinians’ right to set sail across Gaza waters, adding that Palestinian fishermen have been the permanent target of Israeli attacks despite an earlier deal expanding the fishing zone to nine nautical miles.
NGOs warn of Israeli ban on construction materials to Gaza
Palestinian non-governmental organizations (NOGs) strongly condemned on Sunday the Israeli continued ban of construction materials’ access into Gaza Strip, warning against its serious implications on the deteriorating humanitarian situation.
The NGOs pointed out in a statement issued Sunday that Israeli authorities have tightened restrictions on Gaza’s commercial imports and exports, further exacerbating the economic, social, and humanitarian situation in the besieged enclave.
Gaza Strip has reached an unprecedented level of food-insecurity, unemployment, and poverty rates, the statement added.
The statement warned of the serious implications of the slow reconstruction process, adding that thousands of homes and health and educational facilities, which were destroyed during Israel’s 2014 aggression, are still in need for rehabilitation and reconstruction.
The NGOs said that the international mechanism for Gaza reconstruction has deepened the suffering of Gaza people and imposed more restrictions on the reconstruction process. The organizations also expressed concern over the donor countries’ failure to fulfill their financial pledges.
The statement called on the international community to act urgently to end the Israeli siege on Gaza and to accelerate its reconstruction.
Israeli forces detain 2 Palestinian fishermen off Gazan coast
Israeli naval forces on Sunday morning detained two Palestinian fishermen off the coast of the Gaza Strip and seized their fishing boat, local sources told Ma'an.
Locals told Ma'an that Israeli naval forces opened fire on fishing boats, and detained Oranus al-Sultan and Ibrahim al-Sultan and took them to unknown location.
The sources added that Israeli forces seized fishing equipment and the boat.
As part of Israel's near-decade long blockade of the coastal enclave since 2007, Palestinian fishermen have been required to work within a limited "designated fishing zone" off the coast, which was recently extended to nine nautical miles.
Israeli forces regularly detain Palestinian fisherman off the coast of Gaza working within the fishing zone, generally for alleged security reasons.
According to the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, Israeli forces detained 71 fishermen and confiscated 22 fishing boats throughout 2015.
The center said that Israeli naval forces also opened fire on Palestinian fishermen at least 139 times over the course of the year, wounding 24 and damaging 16 fishing boats.
"These attacks occurred in a time where the fishers did not pose any threat to the Israeli naval troops, as they were doing their job to secure a living," the center said.

Highlights for Franc White
The Southern Sportsman with Franc White
The Southern Sportsman was Franc White. Franc shot his own film and shared his adventures on his television show produced at the studios of WRAL-TV.
His dog was named Frickus. Frank flew an airplane painted in a zebra pattern. And he would end every program by saying, “Do yourself a favor…take a kid fishing.”
This particular episode was produced in 1992, but apparently aired in January 1993. The video is poor in quality since it was recorded “off-air” by a viewer who lived on the fringes of the television signal. But, it has survived all these years.
Franc passed away in 2012 at the age of 86.
Franc White THE SOUTHERN SPORTSMAN Commentary 44
Franc White, better known as The Southern Sportsman, was an avid outdoorsman. Through his television program he shared his love for hunting, fishing, and cooking. Through his “Franc White Commentary” he shared his concerns regarding ecological issues as of 1993. Many say Franc White was way ahead of his time. (Franc White passed away June 6, 2012)

Jason Freeman
Hex & Hell
BR2 Music Publishing
Jason Freeman, who also is a member of Memphis pre-World War II blues cover band Bluff City Backsliders, plugs in for his first solo effort — a wild mélange of Texas boogie; Louisiana swamp; Mississippi Delta and hill-country blues; and Sun Studio-style rockabilly.
And he’s no stranger to that last subgenre, either, working as a Sun Studio tour guide by day. “Working at Sun Studio has expanded my view of the role Memphis has played throughout history,” Freeman says in his bio on the website for “$5 Cover Amplified,” a package of 12 online documentaries produced as a complement to Craig Brewer’s 2009 musical drama series for MTV, “$5 Cover.” “I think that’s helped me raise the bar as to what I’m doing, knowing I’m representing a brand that’s known all over the world. In my own humble way, I’m a representative of that tradition.”
In fact, “Hex & Hell,” a collection of 10 Freeman originals, is the first release on filmmaker Brewer’s new record label. Freeman has a song featured in all of Brewer’s films — “The Poor & Hungry,” “Hustle & Flow,” “Black Snake Moan” and “Footloose” — and taught Samuel L. Jackson how to play slide guitar for “Black Snake Moan.”
If one had to draw a voice comparison, fellow slide guitarist Roy Rogers might come to mind. But it’s Freeman’s gutsy slide that’s in the spotlight here, presented in a variety of styles and tones, backed by just bass and drums on most tracks.
For variety’s sake, three tracks enjoy expanded instrumentation. “Florida Watah,” the title track and “Love Baby” add organ, violin/violin/cello and saxophone, respectively — all to great effect.

Batman and the Owls of Ga’Hoole take on Kirby and Nancy Drew
Sep 16 Posted by nancyjrab 1 Comment
Imagine if there was a battle between Batman, (the caped crusader) and Nancy Drew, (the girl detective) Who would win?
Depends on what the fight was.
If they were vying on a brawn-only basis, Batman. Brains? Nancy Drew.
But if you asked my ten year old twins who would win – then you’d have a real battle. Because when it comes to electronic games, boys see things one way, and girls, another.
See, my son LOVES the new Batman game for Wii Batman: The Brave and the Bold the Videogame (full disclosure – I received a free review copy, he played it.) I was impressed with how it looks less like a game and more like the actual cartoon…uh, excuse me, animated series. (seriously – when did it become a bad thing for kids to like cartoons?) My son likes the story, he loves the graphics, he thinks it’s easier to learn than some of the other, more complicated games I’ve gotten for review.
My daughter. Not so much. It’s not that she doesn’t like it, it’s just that she’d rather play her new PC-based game, recently released for Nancy Drew’s 80th (!) anniversary (and yet she still looks so young! how does she do it?!) Nancy Drew, Secrets Can Kill. (also a free review copy) My daughter doesn’t care much for battle games. She never says the six most dreaded words a mother trying to get her son to go to bed ever hears: “Let me just beat this level.” She likes that the Nancy Drew game allows her to solve puzzles – not just fight her way out of things. She likes that there’s a main character who’s a girl. And I like that the girl characters in this electronic game (unlike so many others) aren’t built like porn stars.
Her Interactive, the company that puts out the Nancy Drew series of games calls themselves a “pioneer of fun and inspiring interactive adventure entertainment based on female play preferences.” Which is basically PR-speak for “we make video games for girls.” And all gender stereotyping aside – there really is a difference.
Take the Kirby/Owls of Ga’hoole mash up. Bet you can guess which of my twins likes Kirby’s Epic Yarn (didn’t get a demo – just a demonstration! It’ll be in stores October 17th). It’s a cooperative game where players can help each other get to different levels, and where there really isn’t anything to “win.” It’s all about Kirby, the famously cute little critter – back for the first time since the Nintendo 64 days, who in this game, is made of yarn, and living in a patchwork world. The graphics are adorable, different, and look…well, tactile…if that makes any sense.
Here, see for yourself.
This is the kind of game my daughter would love. It’s the kind of game my son wouldn’t necessarily admit he could love…but I bet he would. Even a ten year old boy gets sick of blowing things up now and then. And the yarn graphics are inventive and funny. Even I love it. And I stink at video games. (I got a chance to play for a few minutes at a press event The coolest thing for me: when Kirby goes “behind” something, the “fabric” bulges out, and you can see him bulging behind it. So cute.) Bottom line: Kirby’s Epic Yarn is sweet, you’re not competing with anyone. and the graphics are cool and interactive without being violent or epileptic fit inducing. Wins the mash up for me.
Except for one thing. A few months ago but I received (gratis) a full-box set of the Guardians of Ga-Hoole books. The game Legend of the Guardians, and the soon to be released movie of the same name are based on it. I haven’t seen the game yet, but all I can say is: my son, whose favorite thing to say (after, “let me just beat this level”) is “I hate to read.” had to be threatened with loss of a playdate to get him to put down the third book in the series and go to bed.
On the strength of that alone (as well as the fact that in all the years I’ve been getting free electronic games, I have never before been given good old fashioned BOOKS – yay Warner Bros Entertainment!) I am shamelessly promoting the game, and including this quote from the press release:
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole – The Videogame is being released in conjunction with the highly-anticipated feature film from critically-acclaimed director Zack Snyder. The video game provides fans with the ultimate extension of the movie by allowing players to create their own Guardian of Ga’Hoole and experience the film’s storyline from a new perspective.
Hey – my son LIKED reading these books. That’s already a new perspective. Can you imagine how he’s gonna feel about the game? I can hear myself now: put down the owl…or else.
And you have to admit — it does look pretty cool:
Even so, I kinda like the cute little yarn guy better.
And since it’s my blog, Nancy Drew and Kirby win the battle.
Hey – I didn’t say it was fair. I just said it was my opinion.

Several things…
First- if there is a Nancy Drew pc game is there also a Hardy Boys? My youngest, SIX, loves patterns and problem solving. I think getting him away from WoW and discussions on whether a p90 is better than a glock in a gun fight… like I have any idea… is better would be wonderful!
Second- if they are graphic novels, what do we call the cartoons in the newspaper? Graphic novellas?
Thirdly- and lastly- you have all the Guardian of GaHoole books??? I have been searching for them FOR YEARS!!! Since I bought the first one when it was brand new at the school book fair. I saw the second one but it was sold out by the time I got done working the book fair that time and then…. well I just never could find them when I was looking… always sold out or on back order at the book store or book fair.
I know it’s wrong but I can’t help it… I have book envy.
I should join a 3 letter group for it but… then I’ll have video game or iPad or Kindle envy so what’s the point?
You know you want to read me all the time! Leave your email and hit subscribe and I'll email you every time there's a new post!

The President’s Apprentice Scheme 2009-2010
Harnessing the energy of young engineers to provide infrastructure for a better world
If engineering is to deliver the best possible outcomes to society, engineers must understand their role in the wider field of development, and shape their work and contribution accordingly.
As key implementers, we must produce an action based plan to meet the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The MDGS:
1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
2. Achieve universal primary education
3. Promote gender equality and empower women
4. Reduce child mortality
5. Improve maternal health
6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
7. Ensure environmental sustainability
8. Develop a global partnership for development
“The key to sustainable development in Africa that is, development that does not rely indefinitely on foreign aid is the creation of infrastructure. Part of this is a purely physical matter: a question of civil engineering” Sir David King (formerly UK Chief Scientific Advisor)
The MDGs depend critically on the delivery and the processes of delivery of the underpinning infrastructure upon which civilisation depends, infrastructure that delivers real, pro poor outcomes in its planning, construction and operation.
The 2004 Presidential Commission ‘Engineering without Frontiers’, and the 2006 ICE Brunel International Lecture affirmed that the engineering profession has a clear role and responsibility to work, with others, towards the achievement of the MDGs.
Paul Jowitt
e p.w.jowitt@hw.ac.uk
Daphne Guthrie
e daphne.guthrie@ice.org.uk
The President’s Apprentice Scheme for 2009 2010 provides an intensive, professional development programme addressing infrastructure for international development. It will be supported by key engineering organisations and other professionals operating on a pro bono basis. The breadth and depth of this programme is beyond any single company training scheme.
The programme will include professional development activity on topics such as:
Programme and project management
International development issues
Delivery of capital projects
Development financing models
Sustainable development and infrastructure
Procurement issues
Anti corruption measures and security
Local capacity and skills development
Climate change adaption and mitigation
Governance and partnership models
This experience will involve active participation in the production of an engineers’ toolkit/handbook (available to all engineers after its launch in October 2010) entitled ‘An Engineering Project Delivery Plan for International Development and the UN MDGs’.
The President’s Apprentice Scheme is available to selected outstanding graduate engineers, up to six from the UK and Europe and six from ICE’s other international regions, brought together in an ambitious professional development initiative to increase the awareness and capability of international development among these professionals. The profile of the chosen President's Apprentices are available on the ICE website.
The programme will be delivered in three professional development sessions in 2009/2010. Starting in the UK after the President’s inauguration in November 2009, followed by Durban, South Africa and the UNESCO headquarters in Paris, to coincide with ICE Presidential visits. The apprentices will visit local infrastructure and development projects and also shadow the President during other activities.

Download our new mobile weather app. The fact-checkers, whose work is more and more important for those who prefer facts over lies, police the line between fact and falsehood on a day-to-day basis, and do a great job. Today, my small contribution is to pass along a very good overview that reflects on one of Trump’s favorite overarching falsehoods. Namely: Trump describes an America in which everything was going down the tubes under Obama, which is why we needed Trump to make America great again. And he claims that this project has come to fruition, with America setting records for prosperity under his leadership and guidance. “Obama bad; Trump good” is pretty much his analysis in all areas and measurement of U.S. activity, especially economically. Even if this were true, it would reflect poorly on Trump’s character, but it has the added problem of being false, a big lie made up of many small ones. Personally, I don’t assume that all economic measurements directly reflect the leadership of whoever occupies the Oval Office, nor am I smart enough to figure out what causes what in the economy. But the idea that presidents get the credit or the blame for the economy during their tenure is a political fact of life. Trump, in his adorable, immodest mendacity, not only claims credit for everything good that happens in the economy, but tells people, literally and specifically, that they have to vote for him even if they hate him, because without his guidance, their 401(k) accounts “will go down the tubes.” That would be offensive even if it were true, but it is utterly false. The stock market has been on a 10-year run of steady gains that began in 2009, the year Barack Obama was inaugurated. But why would anyone care about that? It’s only an unarguable, stubborn fact. Still, speaking of facts, there are so many measurements and indicators of how the economy is doing, that those not committed to an honest investigation can find evidence for whatever they want to believe. Trump and his most committed followers want to believe that everything was terrible under Barack Obama and great under Trump. That’s baloney. Anyone who believes that believes something false. And a series of charts and graphs published Monday in the Washington Post and explained by Economics Correspondent Heather Long provides the data that tells the tale. The details are complicated. Click through to the link above and you’ll learn much. But the overview is pretty simply this: The U.S. economy had a major meltdown in the last year of the George W. Bush presidency. Again, I’m not smart enough to know how much of this was Bush’s “fault.” But he had been in office for six years when the trouble started. So, if it’s ever reasonable to hold a president accountable for the performance of the economy, the timeline is bad for Bush. GDP growth went negative. Job growth fell sharply and then went negative. Median household income shrank. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by more than 5,000 points! U.S. manufacturing output plunged, as did average home values, as did average hourly wages, as did measures of consumer confidence and most other indicators of economic health. (Backup for that is contained in the Post piece I linked to above.) Barack Obama inherited that mess of falling numbers, which continued during his first year in office, 2009, as he put in place policies designed to turn it around. By 2010, Obama’s second year, pretty much all of the negative numbers had turned positive. By the time Obama was up for reelection in 2012, all of them were headed in the right direction, which is certainly among the reasons voters gave him a second term by a solid (not landslide) margin. Basically, all of those good numbers continued throughout the second Obama term. The U.S. GDP, probably the single best measure of how the economy is doing, grew by 2.9 percent in 2015, which was Obama’s seventh year in office and was the best GDP growth number since before the crash of the late Bush years. GDP growth slowed to 1.6 percent in 2016, which may have been among the indicators that supported Trump’s campaign-year argument that everything was going to hell and only he could fix it. During the first year of Trump, GDP growth grew to 2.4 percent, which is decent but not great and anyway, a reasonable person would acknowledge that — to the degree that economic performance is to the credit or blame of the president — the performance in the first year of a new president is a mixture of the old and new policies. In Trump’s second year, 2018, the GDP grew 2.9 percent, equaling Obama’s best year, and so far in 2019, the growth rate has fallen to 2.1 percent, a mediocre number and a decline for which Trump presumably accepts no responsibility and blames either Nancy Pelosi, Ilhan Omar or, if he can swing it, Barack Obama. I suppose it’s natural for a president to want to take credit for everything good that happens on his (or someday her) watch, but not the blame for anything bad. Trump is more blatant about this than most. If we judge by his bad but remarkably steady approval ratings (today, according to the average maintained by 538.com, it’s 41.9 approval/ 53.7 disapproval) the pretty-good economy is not winning him new supporters, nor is his constant exaggeration of his accomplishments costing him many old ones). I already offered it above, but the full Washington Post workup of these numbers, and commentary/explanation by economics correspondent Heather Long, are here. On a related matter, if you care about what used to be called fiscal conservatism, which is the belief that federal debt and deficit matter, here’s a New York Times analysis, based on Congressional Budget Office data, suggesting that the annual budget deficit (that’s the amount the government borrows every year reflecting that amount by which federal spending exceeds revenues) which fell steadily during the Obama years, from a peak of $1.4 trillion at the beginning of the Obama administration, to $585 billion in 2016 (Obama’s last year in office), will be back up to $960 billion this fiscal year, and back over $1 trillion in 2020. (Here’s the New York Times piece detailing those numbers.) Trump is currently floating various tax cuts for the rich and the poor that will presumably worsen those projections, if passed. As the Times piece reported:

Early in 2015, the UN Security Council snuck through a resolution making it mandatory that everything in the world ever includes ‘Uptown Funk’ by Mark Ronson ‘feat’ Bruno Mars.
While organisations the world over scramble to meet this requirement, lest they be bombed by rather oxymoronically-monikered peacekeeping forces for their insubordination, Ubisoft have it sorted – of course!
Yes, it should go without saying that this annual release of their unbeatable dayglo party favour Just Dance includes the omnipresent hit. It also includes many other chart things, which will be revelled in by most anybody under the age of 15.
Unfortunately that sense of derring-do (yes he did sir!) which pervaded most previous JD releases – where classic new wave, rock and even (gulp!) indie territory was plundered - has been hurled out the window, with a brick tied to it to ensure that it disappears without a vaguely floaty whimper. There‘s scarcely anything other than modern chart fodder – plus shitty covers and Disney stuff, be it from movies or former Mouseketeer types - among the 44 tracks here. Unless you pay to subscribe to Just Dance Unlimited, which is where they hide the good stuff...
Begrudgingly getting past one of the franchise’s most myopic playlists yet, control methods are plenty. Talking PS4, for that’s what we’re talking, your old Move controller works (assuming it’ll still hold a charge), as will the PS4 camera (albeit a tad shakily) or a smartphone app. Actually, to clarify, an iPhone or Android app, for the Windows Phone version only seems to support the Xbone. On this we call shenanigans...
As well as the familiar solo or group play, some new modes say hello, including ‘Dance Quest’ – which has you challenging your console - and ‘Showtime’, which allows you to get all care-and-share with recorded performances online.
It’s as fun as ever, but that playli... Shit, the UN’s knocking! Uh, GIRLS HIT YOUR HALLELUJAH – WOOOOOOOOO!

California may not have the highest rates of Lyme disease in the country, but more than 1000 cases have been reported in the past ten years, and 83 cases were confirmed in the Golden State in 2015. Only 22 states … [Read more...]

The San Luis Obispo County Cannabis Business Association (SLOCCBA) – Making Cannabis Available
Never in a million years did I consider the idea of a cannabis trade association, let alone be the one to create such an organization in SLO County. Yet that’s what happened in January 2017, just in time for our group to be included in the city and county cannabis regulatory discussions. The San Luis Obispo County Cannabis Business Association, Inc. (SLOCCBBA) was formed to aid … [Read more...]

Montreal Infringement Festival May 23, 2014 2014, Artists, June 21 juin, Music
DaDestroya, Negrosapien and HemmRage were raised in the quiet town of Chateauguay, Quebec. As children, they recorded songs and radio broadcasts amongst themselves for fun on tape cassettes. In the 1990s, the three brothers had a chance encounter with the HipHop legend, Special Ed who coincidentally, also happened to be their uncle (or, ‘big cousin’ as they call him). This was the start of it all. As youths they were further inspired by acts as unique as Wu-Tang, as eccentric as A Tribe Called Quest, world wide as Jay-z, new age as Kendrick Lamar and as underground as Necro. It was necessary for them to develop their own method, and later, their own controversial beliefs concerning music in general. DaDestroya, passed the time writing rap verses during high school classes and insulting local up and coming rappers during lunch hours. He held a fundamental belief as to how music should be made. Few agreed with his opinions and instead chose “imitation instead of innovation”. His adamant refusal to this way of life led to his assembling a group of rebels in his school known as Tha’ Rappture. The group disbanded after conflicts of interest in the other members’ personal lives. But he continued on, along with his fundamentalist HipHop beliefs. Negrosapien, who at the time wrote poetry in his book of rhymes, joined forces with DaDestroya to continue the struggle. He brought a persona never before seen in Montreal, a demeanour as unique as his personality and a voice as commanding as a dictator. The two formed a formidable alliance, and eventually released 4 EPs (Bereavement, The Death Weapon EP, The Earth Is Flat EP and The Human Error EP), each of which gained airplay on the local radio stations in their area. This led to them releasing their first album Speak With Our Hands in 2008 and the critically acclaimed Closed Captions LP which was released recently to rave reviews. The group began to garner more attention locally and otherwise. HemmRage, who supported his brothers from the beginning, mastered the craft of producing music in private. He too began working alongside the two brothers, which led to a big shift. From that point forward, their group had changed forever. No longer did they depend on anyone other than themselves for support as they did in the beginning. Their music was their own. The beats and especially the lyrics, came entirely from their heart and soul. Calling themselves PsynLangwage was the result of being determined to: “SPEAK TO YOU IN A DIFFERENT WAY” PsynLangwage is a REVOLUTION for all music lovers. It is not rap music, it is not hip-hop music, and it’s definitely not country. This is PsynLangwage. And their passion? Getting YOU to PSYN UP.

Congrats all around…
Got the chance to stop in this morning at the Urban Youth Academy in Compton, where Orlando Hudson had the first visit of his “Around the Mound” tour to try and get more African-American youths to play baseball. He enlisted the services of his teammate, Juan Pierre, and Angels’ center fielder Torii Hunter, to spend time with the kids and teach them a few things about the game. O-Dog is planning on doing school visits in 10 cities around the league this year, which is an incredibly ambitious program. Props to him for his efforts.
As for the Urban Youth Academy, the facility is really something else and the work they do does not get nearly the attention it should, so congrats to the whole staff there on a great morning over there.
Meanwhile, for those who haven’t seen the latest rankings, Inside the Dodgers remains in the Top 10 on the MLBlogs network, so keep up the great work. I’m going to have to check out some of the other sites that are above us and see how they’re spreading the word!
Here’s tonight’s lineup against the Angels:
Blake, 3B
Torre pregame media session:
On Kuroda: He’ll go two more times and we’ll look at him all the way back on that first homestand the beginning of the month. He may pitch in Albuquerque at some point. I’m not sure.
On Schmidt: we can see the finish line, but its still going to be awhile.
On Blake: I’m comfortable with Casey hitting 8th. He knows how to hit there.
He never said a word to me about where he hits. I don’t sense its an issue for him.
On Mota: Mota was much better last night. They had him swinging his leg better. He’s working at it.
On Weaver: Weaver still not available tonight. We are going to hold off on Milton’s bullpen until later in the game just in case we need him. If you see Milton throwing in the late innings it’s his bullpen, he’s not warming up.
Furcal and Martin will rest tomorrow.
Tags: rankings, Urban Youth Academy
It is awesome work by Orlando, Juan and Torii in trying to get our youth involved in baseball. Most kids nowadays think everything revolves around football and basketball. and, who could blame them because the coverage is so damned lopsided. Baseball always takes a backburner. but, to me BASEBALL RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woo Hoo Go Blue Crew!!! Keep up the great work on and off the field.
By dodgerbuddy on May 23, 2009 4:50 pm - Reply
I think Inside the Dodgers should be ranked #1. I have yet to see a better blog than ours.
I hope that if the score is tied and we have a runner on 2nd with no outs in the later innings that we never, ever, ever bunt with our 3 hole hitter ever again. I knew we lost when they did that last night. Besides giving up an out, you are asking your best hitter to make out on PURPOSE for two guys who have 13 rbi in 19 games in May, between them. The idea that they our the 4/5 hitters is a joke right now in itself, but then again no one else is hitting either.

All the best to Odawg, JP and Torii, in their efforts with the “Around the Mound ” tour.
They say, “you win some, you lose some”, but we’re kind of getting use to winning….so
LET’S GO DODGERS.
By oldbrooklynfan on May 23, 2009 6:42 pm - Reply
Yeah man, superprops to these guys for getting out there amongst those youngsters, encouraging them to follow the great game of baseball. And those kids are pretty blessed, too, to have been visited by these stars, who are playing as if they are in the prime of their careers. Staggering statistics, phenomenal plays on the field, and running the bases. Can you tell I’m impressed by these guys?
As for the lineup I think Ethier does not deserve to be where he has been staying, in the lineup. Casey sure should be there before him. It’s like “Come on Joe, tell the kid that secret that makes him start hitting again…”
Choke up an inch or two…”Yeah right…, the kid responds.”
You know, it’s something stupid, dumb, simple.
Go Dodgers!!

schmidt just left his rehad assignment in the third inning with an injury… here we go again…

dodge ~ Are we surprised? lol
not at all… I think he was hit by a comebacker…
Stupid Angels announce Ethier have a good arm not average what are they thinking about?
By shad80 on May 23, 2009 7:16 pm - Reply
So, Schmidt hd developed a permanent case of “Icantplayitis”! lol
Shad ~ Vinny said it was a perfect throw!
red pen *has developed
Wow another rare k’s from Pierre.
I think the Dodgers need to chalk Schmidt up to another Darren Dreifort and move on. It would be nice if he could get healthy and start earning some of that salary, but it really looks doubtful he will.

I take that you listen to him on the radio. I’m struck with these Angels announce on kcla ch 13.
this nuggets- fakers game sucks… the refs are handing it to LA… I hate basketball… kobe is a cry baby

Shad ~ I am listening on the radio. I like it better than the video on mlb.tv. It’s always a half an inning behind the actual game.
Lol, Dodge! My husband always thinks it’s the other way around.
Good evening all!
So far, so good for Wolf.
I still think he looks like Opie though…
By vl4ecc on May 23, 2009 7:33 pm - Reply
how can he trublu? this game is stupid… I dont like either team so im not biased but come on the NBA wants to see lebron and kobe… and looks like the refs are told to give em that.
Good evening, all. For those of us interested in Dodger history: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/24/books/review/Shapiro-t.html?_r=1&8bu&emc=bua2
Thanks, nelly, for the link to mlb contracts. For those who have visions of Roy Halliday in Dodger blue dancing in their heads, he’s signed through 2010 on a 3-year, 40 mill contract. At that price, he’s a screaming deal. If he chooses to go through FA after next year, he will clean up. If Toronto desires to move him during next year’s stretch drive, anyone who wants him will pay a king’s ransom for,more than likely, a short-term rental. Bottom line, a bad deal, IMO. If you want him (and who would’nt), sign him during FA when all you lose is a draft choice.

NOW THAT IS OUR ANDRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andre, way to start off!!!! That looked much more like his natural easy swing.
About time Ethier.
WTG RUSS!!!
Dodge ~ he’s been a Lakers fan since the Jerry West days and so, of coyrse, he thinks every call goes against them. I am with you though, everyone wants to see Kobe and Lebron!
Great job Russell! Good to see them both get the job done.
ALRIGHT RUSSELL!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, it’s all about money and ratings and the Lakers/Cavs final woud be what woukd genrate the most revenue.
I agree with your husband, trublu. But of course, I’ve been a Laker fan since I was 12, so I admit I am biased): I can admit their defense has been pathetic lately.
Wayta go R U S S E L L
what? another technical… stupid… well who cares its dodger time… 1-0 and threatening to add more… go dodgers
BCG ~ their defense has been hard to watch!
That’s the spirit, Dodge!!!!!
dodge16 ~ it’s about money and the series that will make the most money will be a Lakers/Cavs series. I have felt that way about the NBA for a long time. The mlb has it’s issues with PED, but I think there is still some major issues with money and refs in the NBA. I have felt that way since that infamous Lakers/Kings series back in the day.
What the hell Farmer get a tech because of that? Williams didn’t get one when he threw it to Howard.
Signs of the real Andre coming back, and signs of the real JP coming back as well 🙂
farmer should have been thrown out of the game… if a player throws the ball in the stands its an automatic ejection
I knew if JP comes back to normal Ethier would heat up.
So true, NellyJune!!!
oh oh Ethier is warming up.
I think Andre is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was kind of like invasion of the body snatchers, lol. Reminds me of that movie that was out years ago with Meg Ryan where her spirit switched places with this old man and finally at the end of the movie they switched back.
..and if you think about last night, he had 2 walks, and his other two at-bats were solid even though they were outs.
bluecrewgirl – It so feels that way!!!! It’s like all the power was drained from Andre and was poured into JP.
Maybe the same way that Proctor or another Mota clone is in Wade body haha.
NellyJune ~ You must have moved your Gnome! lol
True, Shad. Hopefully Wade will be back to normal in his next appearance.
Good evening all,
LETS GO DODGERS, LETS GO!!!!
By Dodger4life on May 23, 2009 8:15 pm - Reply
I did not move my gnome, but I am wearing my Andre shirt, which I haven’t been. The superstisious in me thinks maybe that is the issue. I haven’t been wearing my Ethier shirt/jersey consistently during the games.
Dodger4life ~ HOWDY!!!!!
We really need the real Wade back since Kuo is still hurting.
Dodger4life, our spirit leader is in the ITD house!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blake is so damn good.
Hey dodger4life.
I’ll have to start wearing ALL of mine at the same time! That way we can’t miss!
Hi tru, it is good to see you, as well as everyone else 🙂
Good evening BCG….I am in the middle of cooking a burger but I am keeping tabs of the game as well.
GO DODGERS!!!!!
That wasn’t a 5 sec violation? It took a long time for him to get that ball in.
Ok ladies, I just realized I had put my Ethier bobblehead (the ones they sell at the Dodger store) on the coffee table the other night. I will have to leave it there now, lol.
I missed that Zeile walk off homerun off Percival in 1997.
I missed that Zeile wake off homerun off Percival in 1997.
damn i was right the first time lol
Don’t move it bluecrewgirl!!!!!
BCG ~ you better leave it there!!!!!
good job nba… lakers win
I won’t move it. Maybe it’s helping Andre’s Feng Shui.
Sigh Kemp should had throw that harder lol.
BCG ~ anything that makes them play better can’t hurt!
Aybar got so lucky.
**** that Aybar is so damn lucky.
Shut up Hudler
Well, that’s not too good Randy.
Crap!
Man, they are going to need to have some big innings to pull this one out.
One batter to late.
We haven’t had big innings lately
By boblee4014 on May 23, 2009 8:36 pm - Reply
Oh man Josh was in Compton and I missed the Odog, Pierre and Hunter oh well I had something to do.
Hunter kicked our a#$ again. Wake up, Dodger bats!!!!….Schmidt was hit on the side of his face with a batted ball during his rehab start. Hopefully, it’s not too serious.
juan back to being juan for this game at least.
Good job O-Dog………come on Andre!!!!!
Good point, boblee, lol. The odds have to be in their favor at this point.
That sucked………….that was such a bad call.
….and Furcal follows suit. Who says imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!!!
Ouch that didn’t look good.
Get you butt back in the dugout Scioscia that did hit him.
Well, that was a very strange at-bat, but we will take it. Good Job Russell 🙂
Where was these risp hit last night esp when the bases were loaded.
Yeah! Our comeback begins!!!!!!!!!
I was afraid Andre was going to get himself kicked out for arguing, but good to see him fired up and Russell comes through again!
My Loney has a first name,
It’s J-A-M-E-S
My Loney has a second name,
It’s L-O-N-E-Y
I love to watch him every day
And if you ask me why I’ll say
‘Cause James Loney has a way
With H-I-T-T-I-N-G!
By leefink and martinloneykemp
Bring on the risp hit.
YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!
WTG, Russell!!!!!
Nice going MARTIN.
Two out rally…. Way To Go Dodgers!!!!!
I thought so too bluecrewgirl, but that was a sucky call. Andre didn’t even swing the bat.
Great job, James. I would love for Matt to launch one now.
Time for Kemp to get his 1st career hit off of Lackey.
Damn should be 2-1.
L O N E Y ties Ethier with 30 RBI.
Sigh guess not.
Lackey was lacking in that inning.
By perumike on May 23, 2009 8:51 pm - Reply
Good Job Loney!!!!
Hang in there Boy’s!!!!
GO DODGERS!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay – Matt is still drained of power apparently 🙂
Kemp sure needs to have those new contacts checked out, They not doing him much good…
I didn’t realize Schmidt’s injury was because he got hit in the head with a line drive. Hope he’s ok.
Dang wish we had that last inning.
Keep on keepin on Boy’s….Lets get some more runners across home plate 🙂
Talk about navigating through innings, RANDY doing a good job.
two strikeouts for JP
Let’s make Lackey work more in this inning then last inning come on Blake we need another homerun.
Ahhh, the Juan we all know and love has arrived!
damn stupid computer and fk Pierre is back to being Pierre again lol
JP and Furcal aren’t doing anything at the top of the order at all tonight.
GO DODGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on Raffy, put it in the gap!!!
boy tru, that was said with such enchanted style, I thought it was him.
A Dodger starter still pitching in the 7th. Now, there’s a notable occurence!!
Now Raffy not hitting. We can’t seem to get all cyclinders clicking in order.
I miss Enchanted, NellyJune!
RANDY did alright, but it’s a good time for a change.
LET’S GO RONNIE
His enchantedness is missed by all 🙂
Guess I jinxed Wolf. LOL!!!!
I think he waiting for another win or another Mota meltdown.
That’s good, NellyJune………”Enchantedness”!!!!
Overall Bellisario has been doing a good job. He’s had his bad days…..all pitchers do, but for the most part, he has been a pleasantly good surprise.
Is a good thing when Belisario comes in and don’t walk the first guy he faced.
I don’t know if anyone put this link up or not but it’s an update on Schmidt.

He is like royalty around here.
hey josh… i’m a long time reader, unfortunately, not as frequent of a commenter here. but i do appreciate all the hard work you do, and to keep the fans ‘in the loop’ with daily updates here on top of everything else you. i do know you read these comments so i do have a favor to ask of you (since i don’t know where else to go). i used to live in LA, and frequented the games (my family still has season tickets in section 15 of the field level), but unfortunately i moved out of state two years ago. one thing i always enjoyed when going to the games was the music that the players chose as their ‘at-bat/entrance’ songs. since i moved, i don’t get to enjoy it, and its rather difficult to pick up some of the songs when listening to the games on radio or watching on tv via satellite. in the past, the list was in the fan forum section of dodgers.com, but it looks like it was removed this year. i would love to see the list back up again since the players tend to change their songs from one year to the next. (i specifically asked for songs for furcal, pierre, o-dog, kemp, loney, blake, martin, loretta, broxton and billingsley – i picked up on kershaw and ethier’s songs). i attempted to email the club through the website’s ‘help/contact’ link, but it bounced back to me twice. could you pass this info on to whomever? thanks josh!

Hey Collie!!! It wasn’t posted, but we heard about it. That is just too bad for Jason.
Troncoso and Belllisario have been good, for the most part. Wade has been abducted by aliens from the Planet Gnat and Mota…just….plain….sucks!!!!!
Nice contact Andre……………..great at-bats so far Andre. Keep it up!!!!
Some of our fans on the main LA main message board want him dfa because of all the walk and sigh I don’t want a 1 2 3 innings from Lackey.
Dodgerdog ~ that’s a great idea! I’d love to have the list of songs too!!!
Urgh should had jinxed Lackey.
seesky – I agree, and good evening to you too.
Padres and Giants are both winning!
Good Evening Koufax1963!!!!!
Oh no!!! They took Andre out, perhaps for his foot.
That wouldn’t be pleasant Nelly. I’ve seen it happen many times in my softball years and I’ve seen some pretty nasty ones. A teammate of mine 2 weeks ago lined one off the pitchers knee during a game (He plays in another league that night of the week so I didn’t see it). He shattered the knee cap and he had to have surgery for it.
It sounds as if it isn’t a major injury for Schmidt, so that’s good. But now he’ll have the mental issue of course with the whole worrying about a come backer.
Uh-oh, Dre is out of the game!
Maybe Lackey won’t come out for another inning.
What happened to Andre?
I really hope Andre’s foot is ok.
He was hit by a pitch on the foot. He limped off, but seemed to be okay.
I want to hear the Loney song!!!
Lets get some run here gentlemen!!!!!!
GO DODGERS GO!!!!!!
GREAT JOB BELISARIO
Start singing!!!
Big Game James!!!
J-A-M-E-S!!!!!!!!!
Stop talking about Frankie he pitching for the Mets. Wow that throw was so close I love Loney hustle. We need to scored now damn shut up Hudler.
LONEY :))))
Let’s get this run in Kemp. I want to be a Happy Kemper!
At least, Lackey is gone. Let’s see some Dodger Shock & Awe!!!!
Damn wish Kemp was a left handed batter he would beat that out.
Fear The Beard!
Tie ball game!
CASEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t know how many time I said this but Blake is one of the best 8th hitters in the league.
Alright Dodgers!!!!!!
ATTA BOY CASEY!!!!!
Let’s keep this thing going. Let’s get a Lotta Loretta
what is with pierre tonight
C A S E Y does it, great clutch.
JP is coming back down to Earth.
Damn Loretta in his last 6 PH’s is 0/6 no way and Juan for 5 is back.
NellyJune ~ and everybody else is playing much better because of Juan’s “landing”!
Get em on, get em over, get em in. Good job, Blue!!!!
Way to comeback Broxton.
Let’s have a walkoff win today! That would make the day complete for LA sports fans (yes, LA, not Anaheim, which is in ANOTHER FREAKING COUNTY!!!)
Damn the Angels announce didn’t even know Ethier is out of the game.
Alright Andre!!!!!!
Broxton is AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Let’s get Hoffman his first major league hit, a walkoff!!! 🙂
Way to throw Brox!!!!
Broxtonized!!!

They said Andre has a split nail on his toe if I understood Vin correctly. I wouldn’t think that would be very serious.
By bluecrewgirl on May 23, 2009 10:08 pm - Reply
Oh come on Martin
Dre split his toenail on his foot & that is why he’s out.
You gotta swing the bat big boy. They aren’t going to walk you there!
Did you hear that………….a split toe nail on Andre. His big toe too – ouch!!!!!
Nothing a little conditioner can’t fix right????
He should be back tomorrow I would hope.
Come on Russ… Just a poke…
Not when you have Conte I’m worry.
I would think they could always remove the toenail and let it grow back if worse came to worse. I dropped wagon handle on my big toe when I was 5, hurt like hell. My toenail fell out and it grew back fine. At least he doesn’t have any broken bones, so that’s great news.
WE KNOW DRAMA!

Nice to comeback from the walk Martin come on Loney.
All the ladies love Dre but it’s not because he has pretty feet so he should be ok.
Nice to see you vl4 hahaha nice running Martin
Shad – that is very true. Nothing is a sure thing when it comes to our medical staff. You are so right about that.
I want to hear an Encore of the Loney Song!!
So should we say Dre got nailed tonight????
It’s definitely not because of his feet!!!
I have the Loney Song ready and waiting Collie
I’d take the Lakers trainer instead.
LOL!!!You are quite the comedian tonight, aren’t you?
James Loney – that was just awful!!!!
That was some filthy pitching.
I do what I can Nelly.
Lol, Shad. If Andre does need any medical attention for his toe, I would hope Conte would be nowhere near him.
mike outmanaged joe that inning
..or it should say “James Anthony Loney” – that was just awful!!!!
Free baseball for all! Christmas in May!!
Damn what was that Loney?
Gosh damn Kcop suck about time.
bluecrewgirl – Conte needs to stay away from Andre!!!
Yes, he does Nelly! Minor injuries seem to have a way of morphing into something more since he’s been the trainer. I think Andre will be fine. I was worried his toe was broken at first.
hahahaha love Broxton tonight.
Come on Broxton one more out damn wish Furcal would had made that played.
Ferk still having trouble to the back hand side.
I love it when Brox has the slider working to mix it up.
Nice job Jon! Now let’s end this thing! We have an early game tomorrow and we need our rest! 🙂
Oh yea!
Kemp Do this: bash it! go dodgers!!
Mike — I have the day off. Seeing as it’s a day game after a night game & I’m a little older. I’ve got to rest my eyes and butt!
LETS GO DODGERS, LETS GO!!!!!!!
It’s time to give the bully some help!!!!
Lets get someone across home plate 🙂
WE LIVE FOR THIS.

MATTY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Way to lead it off!
Let’s go oh bearded one!
We’ve got a wonderful bullpen.
Can kemp get the steal. I would let blake hit a way
Damn Blake why did you have to hit that.
Take Mota/Ohman out and added Cruz/Pedro than yes.
Nice Blake get that sac down Castro.
Brox’s slider has just been HELLLLLLAAAAAAACIOUS!!!!!!!!!

WOW, CASEY IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
The Bison and the Beard come through and still no outs!
Here we go……………….Come on JC, as opposed to JP.
This is why we really don’t need that extra pitcher.
seesky – that was some great pitching by Brox tonight.
Let’s get this down. We need to execute.
I want me some Kuo flip bat homeruns dang I missed those day lol.
Do I see a squeeeeeeeze?
JP with a suicide squeeze maybe?
Let’s go Juanapy!
JP – be the hero tonight – come on JP!!!!!!
You watch, Juan is going to be the hero!
I guess with no outs maybe we don’t want a squeeze just yet?
Chance for JP to be a hero.

I can’t believe I am saying these things about JP………….and it’s really not so bad – LOL!!!!!
We Beat the Angels. Pierre came through finally
Or should we say nail splitting game, Nelly?
A win is a win.
Rubber game tomorrow. Hope Billz brings his “A” game.
The first time Kemp gets on base he scored the winning run the first time Pierre get on is a game ended rbi walk.
Y E A H
Torre outsmarts Scioscia.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that is funny bluecrewgirl!!!! LOL!!!! I really hope Andre is okay…………heaven forbid if Conte hurts him more.
GOOD EYE PIERRE
Broxton is now 5-0.
Fabulous job Bellisario and Broxton. You kept us in this game.
Wow, what a game!!!! A student of the game’s baseball game. The 5-man infield. Personnel moves by batter. And we win!!!!!! Can’t get any better than that!!
We always had a good bullpen, for years now and this is the best one.
Pass the flask, seesky!
I must admit, as much as we didn’t give credit to our BP during Spring Training, overall they have been doing a great job. Yes, there are still a few question marks, but what team in the league doesn’t have that same issue, especially in our division.
Congrat’s All Around…..
WAY TO BOY’S!!!!!!!!
Good Night and God Bless All 🙂
Another round for ITD!!!!!!
This is definitely a flask type of game.
Good night Dodger4life!!!! Take Care and God Bless 🙂
Good night D4!
Another great thing about this win, the rest of the NL West won also and they gain no ground 🙂
BRING THE RING TO L.A. IN 2009!!!!!
GO DODGERS GO!!!!!
Good night again everyone…..:-)
Everyone in our divsion won tonight so the standings stay status quo other than the fact that we are the first team in the league to reach 30 wins.
Goodnight Dodger4life.
Dodger4life – we were thinking the same thing. Good night again…………….sweet Dodger Dreams!!!!
Dodgers right fielder Andre Ethier left Saturday night’s game in the eighth inning with an injury to the big toe on his right foot suffered in a fifth inning at-bat. Ethier was hit by a John Lackey pitch and split the nail on the toe. He wound up scoring in that fifth inning on James Loney’s single. Ethier remaining in the game and lined out to left field in the seventh inning, but was replaced in right field by rookie Jamie Hoffmann in the top of the eighth. Ethier, who has struggled in recent weeks, doubled in his first at-bat and scored a run, then singled in his second at-bat. — Ken Gurnick

Is official Castro stats lines is way better than Pierre with a bad performance by Pierre and in few AB’s. Castro stats lines are .391/.464/.609/1.073. JP stats lines are .383/.458/.489/.947.
By shad80 on May 24, 2009 2:51 am - Reply
Wow that was Pierre 1st career rbi’s in 97 ab’s against the Angels in his career but dang don’t like his stats lines 175/.223/.216/.440. It’s look like the Angels have his numbers. Should that numbers be little bit more accounting Broxton saves with other pitchers getting a win?
Damn I hate to see Furcal obp at .301 and I remember last year when we was all on Pierre case. Bills have an obp at .348 in 20 AB’s and when pitchers have a big obp as high as that than you have a big problem.
Good morning ~ According to the Home Page, Andre will be out of today’s game with his split toenail. Please take care of yourself, Andre. We need you back as soon as possible.

A little classic country – Tennessee Ernie Ford, 16 Tons:
TWO THIN JUANS
Sooooome people say all Juan has got hims a glove,
The other Juan’s speedy but he kain’t get no love,
Glove and no love, their power blows,
A man in the dugout that says they’re pros.
You have two thin Juans and what do ya get?
A walk to load the bases and another walk wins.
Coletti don’t ya trade em or let them go.
We ain’t got much in the minor league store.
Laaaaaast year we’da put them where the sun doesn’t shine,
One had no bat and the other one whined,
We ain’t got much, but now 9s on a roll,
And all Joe says is, “Well bless his soul.”
Weeeeee hope there-a battin’ don’t fizzle a-gain,
O B P and sluggin’ ain’t their middle names,
But when they get themselves on base they both make us go,
And they owe there fat ol’ contracts to the Neddy below-a.
Iiiiiiif you see Juans a comin’, better look real fine,
When Manny gits back they’re both on the pine.
But for now their at bats they’re git their fill,
If Juan don’t git ya,
Then the other Juan will.
Coletti don’t ya trade em or let them goooooo.
We aaaaain’t gooooot muu-uuu-uuch in the minor league store.

ARIAHNA
Voice of Spirit
WITH A MESSAGE FOR YOUR HEART,
YOUR SPIRIT AND YOUR LISTENING EN-JOY-MENT!
'Be Who You Are. Be extraordinary. Be brilliant. Be you. It's Time'
....from the CD 'It's Time' © 2001Ariahna Spirit Music
What makes ‘Ariahna – Voice of Spirit’ unique?
The lyrics to her songs are designed to uplift, inspire and literally transform. Her stunning voice has a healing vibration that touches the heart and soul of those who hear her. Her first CD is presently 19 countries around the world and 3/4 of the United States.
In September of 2001, she released her second CD and in its first week, it was already in 4 continents and 18 states. She has performed her music nationally and internationally and opened for world-renowned author and speakers Dr. Wayne Dyer and presented at Dr. John F. Demartini’s Celebration of Wisdom and Yearly Certification Programs as well as Dr. James Parker and Dr. Karl Parker's conventions. Ariahna has also been a featured trainer for T. Harv Eker’s, Peak Potentials.
She began performing and writing songs at the age of five. The decision to become a doctor of chiropractic at the age of 16 re-directed her life focus. Since 1988, she has been instrumental in assisting thousands of individuals on their healing journey. As a doctor, Ariahna (aka. Dr. Denise Nadler) recognized her purpose to assist in bringing the body back into balance and order. Her post-graduate certifications gave her skills to integrate healing on a deeper level, through the emotions, the mind/body/spiritual connection and the energy and vibrations of song and sound.
Because she knew there is a direct link between music and healing for many years she used other people's music in her work. In 1998, Ariahna finally decided to go into the studio and began to record the songs she had been writing through the years so she could incorporate her own music into her work.
Shortly after receiving her chiropractic license, she opened a successful wellness practice. She also became a personal /professional consultant, coach and mentor and started teaching transformational programs at seminars and conferences around the world. Later, she added her music to her own programs. Hands-on work as a chiropractor for over 15 years, and her experience with sound and vibrational healing along with her teaching work has given her the opportunity to empower people in having awesome transformations in their lives.
Who would benefit from the music of ‘Ariahna – Voice of Spirit’?
Anyone who:
¨ seeks inspiration, motivation and uplifting experiences
¨ wants to awaken their voice and better express themselves in the world
¨ understands the power of sound, song and the vocal expression to elicit inner shifts
¨ feels lost, confused, a sense of despair or is living in chaos and conflict
¨ is seeking a deeper connection to themselves
¨ desires healing and transformation
¨ wants to have fun and en-JOY
“Your music is exquisite. The range of your voice is truly awesome.”…Dr. Pat Gayman, President Empower U Coach, Nevada
"You should be heard by millions of people on television shows like Dr. Robert Schuller.” …Michael Wyman, Business Consultant, New York
“Your music fills the room and touches people in a magical way.”…Toni Robino, CEO of With Flying Colours, Ohio
Why is the music and voice of ‘Ariahna - Voice of Spirit’, so important now?
With the ongoing challenges of world events, people of the United States and all over the world are feeling confused and fearful. They see chaos, disorder and destruction.
With all on the outside so difficult to comprehend, this is the time – more than any other time perhaps in our history, to go within. This is the time to connect to our own Spirit for wisdom, our own heart for guidance and our own Self for healing.
All healing, transformation and love comes from within. ‘Ariahna – Voice of Spirit’ brings inspiring lyrics and soul stirring singing to elicit feelings of inner harmony, peace and joy in the listener. She is a powerful performer with an enchanting and spellbinding voice.

"Ariahna has a powerful feminine presence, excellent command from the stage, tremendous heart and a beautiful voice. She delivered her program with both energy and fun connecting beautifully with our students and staff alike.
She is undoubtedly a master in her field. If you are interested in heart opening songs, uplifting group participatory singing and an inspiring and fun musical program, I encourage you to hire her for your event. Your audience will be glad you did."
Master Trainer, Peak Potentials Training
How To Use The Music of Ariahna
Ariahna, with her stunning voice, can be the musical entertainment for your next conference, convention or special event. She can open the program with an energizing musical experience and weave music throughout the program to inspire and create unity within the group. You can also host Ariahna to present concerts as well as transformative musical programs in your area. As a performer, she brings a unique healing and learning experience to her audiences. Each of these programs can be offered alone or in combination with the others.
Concert Music: Your group can sit back, enjoy and relax as they connect with Ariahna’s beautiful and inspiring singing and profound, poetic messages through song. Her lyrics and music will expand your thinking, open your heart and speak to your soul – setting your Spirit soaring.
Harmonic and Healing Sounds: Ariahna uses a quartz crystal ‘singing’ bowl, which produces meditative healing sounds. Along with her lovely voice, you will feel your mind and breath come into balance as the sound resonates within you, eliciting a mystical connection to your self. Your group will learn how to create your own sounds and experience powerful healing within and witness it in others.
Fun Making Music: Using drums, rattles and other instuments from around the world, Ariahna will guide your group to play music from their hearts. Everyone will be able to participate by playing, singing simple songs and changes from various cultures and just have fun while quieting the mind and expressing the music that is inside them.
Throughout history, music and sound has been valued by people of advanced societies and indigenous cultures. From the Egyptians to the Aboriginal people -- to the Asians, Europeans and Native Americans, singing and music making have been used to achieve a state of balance and well being and for healing and spiritual uplifting. The term “musical medicine” was coined in ancient Greece where it was understood that music could be used to cure physical, psychological and spiritual disturbances.
Many current scientific studies prove that through the use of music, sound and song, people reduce stress and also learn and process information more quickly and with greater ease. Additionally, the benefits include accessing creative ideas, relaxing and experiencing incredible healing.
This is a rare opportunity to profoundly empower the individuals at your next program with a unique presentation from an acclaimed performer who is also a gifted healer.

Internet Movie Database (IMDB)
Peter Canavese 2006-11-21 18:27:15 -0800
The greatest adventure and saddest irony--taught alike by teachers to students and students to teachers--is that the big picture of history is writ small and ruthlessly unforgiving in each life--indeed, in every moment.
109 min. Fox Searchlight Pictures. Directors: Nicholas Hytner, Nicholas Hytner, Nick Starr. Cast: Richard Griffiths, Clive Merrison, Frances De La Tour, Stephen Campbell Moore, Dominic Cooper.
It's a perennial pastime of film critics to put this axe to the grindstone: plays don't translate well to film. Certainly there's something to this old chestnut: film is its own unique medium, and just as cinema's freedom of scope and editing isn't always practical or even possible on the stage, so too are the limitations of stage not always advisable on the screen (hence the screenwriting practice of "opening up" a play by adding more—and more visually appealing—settings and action).
And yet, in both mediums, content is supreme. The medium need not be the message and, to be frank, hardly ever should be. Which brings us to Alan Bennett's The History Boys, a theatrical phenomenon on the West End (where it won Olivier Awards for "Best New Play", "Best Actor," and "Best Direction") and Broadway (a record six Tony Awards, including "Best Play", "Best Director of a Play", "Best Featured Actress," and "Best Actor"). Just after the Broadway run, the play's director Nicholas Hytner (The Madness of King George) collected the much-lauded cast to immortalize the piece on film, and the results are suitably impressive.
The screen robs the play of one dimension, and Bennett's theatricality cannot be hidden, but the transcendent pleasures of Bennett's play remain intact: crackling dialogue, vibrant performances all around, and a depth of emotion and intellect. Though technically set in 1983 Yorkshire, The History Boys isn't limited by time and place; it's the sort of film that seems to be about everything: the theory and value of education, the multiplicity of sexuality, growing pains, moral choice, nostalgia, professional competition, feminism, the role of art in our lives, and indeed how a life should be spent.
Richard Griffiths plays Hector, a British prep school's roly-poly, chipmunk-toothed teaching institution. His name betrays his Grecian values, from the Socratic method to his eyebrow-raising penchant for enjoying the company of boys. Though stressed out about their applications to Oxford or Cambridge, his students appreciate Hector's irreverence and cultural enthusiasm while laughing off his sexual peccadillos.
Everything changes when the school's stuffy headmaster (Clive Merrison) brings in younger, leaner instructor Irwin (Stephen Campbell Moore) to teach to the tests. As the adults—including Frances de la Tour's whip-smart Mrs. Lintott—debate how best to serve their young charges, the lads reveal bundles of contrary impulses. Fun-loving but capable of self-absorbed aloofness, gifted but nerve-wracked over their futures, "clever, but...crass," the boys bond over their collective social and hormonal plight.
As ever, the biggest teenage wild card is sex: a prize still elusive and mysterious, Hector's copped feels notwithstanding. Provocateur Dakin (Dominic Cooper) has a volatile mix of attractiveness, overconfidence, and sexual adventure, while his younger foil Posner (Samuel Barnett) laments, "I'm a Jew, I'm small, I'm homosexual, and I live in Sheffield. I'm fucked." Hector's class—which celebrates cultural literacy by way of theatrical and musical performance, object lessons in foreign language, and spirited, irreverent debate—proves irresistable to young minds, though they also know enough to intuit that Irwin may be their best hope for success at the gauntlet of college exams and interviews.
Hytner's simple approach is to follow the action, often with a handheld camera capturing the electricity of Hector's classroom and the boys' youthful energy. The direction and the performances soar because of a well-developed empathy. Hector's transgressions are hardly excused (though the boys are past the age of consent, the teacher clearly abuses his position), but Griffiths makes his hurt poignant and as palpable as his pedagogical brilliance. If his sex drive waylays him, his heart is always in the right place, as he exhorts his boys to retain at least one lesson, to pass on what they've learned.
The greatest adventure and saddest irony—taught alike by teachers to students and students to teachers—is that the big picture of history is writ small and ruthlessly unforgiving in each life—indeed, in every moment. Lintott encapsulates this history in the making as "the utter randomness of things." Though less poetic, one student's description is no less apt: "it's just one fucking thing after another."

It was nearly midnight when Gabriella landed in a snowdrift in Millie Perkins’ garden.
Millie was in bed, propped against her pillows sipping Irish coffee. The bedroom was as cosy as an oven, tucked as it was under the thatched roof. The bed-head was against the brick chimney that carried the heat up from the kitchen range below. If it hadn’t been for her tabby cat, who curled against her stomach, purring and kneading threads from the eiderdown and making a good book-stand for one of the Mills and Boon romances she was fond of reading - Millie wouldn‘t have heard a thing.
Leonardo lifted his head and meowed a complaint. As a result, the book fell sideways to the floor in the middle of a rather crucial scene, where the hero was about to declare his love - and slid under the chest of drawers. Leonardo kept on staring towards the chintz-curtained windows, his hair ridging along his back like one of the hairy caterpillars who appeared in the spring to devour her lettuces.
Millie admitted to a twinge of alarm as she rose from her bed and slid into the sheepskin slippers her daughter had given her for Christmas. It had been naughty of her to open the gift in advance, but as she could tell from the shape of the parcel exactly what was in it - well, she didn’t see any point in waiting.
Not that there was anyone to tell her off. She’d be spending this Christmas alone. Her beloved granddaughter had gone into labour early, so neither could be with her. Millie was thrilled to think her first great-grandchild would be born on Christmas Day, though - and they’d rearranged the celebration for New Year, instead.
Twitching the curtains open a chink she peered out into the garden. Leonardo leapt on to the window sill and pawed the chink wider so his head would fit through it and he could satisfy his own curiosity.
For a moment Millie didn’t see anything, especially what she was looking for, the tell-tale footsteps in the snow to signal an intruder. She took a moment to admire the scene. It was so Christmassy, with snow plastered on the tree branches like icing sparkling on a cake. It had been ages since they’d had a white Christmas. It seemed fitting somehow, when her great grandchild was due to be born. It also reminded her of her childhood, when Christmas cards were magical concoctions of stage coaches, robins, angels and sparkle dust.
“Good, grief!” she exclaimed when snow flurried up from the drift. A small winged creature crawled out from a hole and sneezed, sending a shower of golden sparks shooting upwards. When they settled Millie saw that the creature glowed. It seemed to be injured as it crawled across the snow, dragging its wing behind it.
Leonardo growled deep in his throat, rear ended himself swiftly to the floor and took refuge under the bed. His yellow eyes glared out from the darkness like alarmed lanterns.
“Don’t be such a cowardly custard,” Millie said, and reaching for her glasses, exclaimed, “I do believe it’s a fairy!” She’d never expected to see a real fairy and felt rather excited about it. What a wonderful tale she’d have to tell to her great grandchild.
Still, she decided on caution, picking up the wooden spoon as she shuffled past the Christmas tree with its coloured lights and tinsel, and the gaily wrapped parcels underneath.
The night cold was bitter after the warmth of the cottage. Her breath puffed out in a cloud of vapour. She shivered, pulling her beanie down round her ears and drawing her shawl a little tighter when the church clock in the village struck twelve.
The creature was a cute little thing, the size of a small doll. She had bedraggled blond curls and feathery wings, and if she hadn’t had such a peevish expression on her face she would have been quite pretty.
“Don’t just stand there,” she snapped. “If I don’t get warm soon, I’ll perish.”
Millie eyed the thin shift the fairy wore. “You do seem unsuitably dressed for winter.” She lifted her gently from the ground and into her shawl. “You must let me look after you.”
“Not too tight, one of my wings is already damaged. If it doesn’t heal I won’t be able to get there in time for the birth.” The creature looked glum for a few seconds. “Then I’ll have some explaining to do.”
Millie retraced her steps, securing the door behind them. She placed her small charge on the kitchen table then pulled up a chair and stared at her. She remembered the story of sleeping beauty. “I hope you’re one of the good fairies.”
The creature put her hands on her hips and sizzled with red sparks. “Fairy!” she snorted, stamping a bare foot. “My name’s Gabriella and I happen to be an angel, one of the cherub types. I’m in a hurry, so if you’re going to help me let’s get on with it. Oh dear.” Her temper evaporated. “I miscalculated badly. If I don’t get there on time the baby will have no soul and I’ll be disgraced. She began to look around her in panic. “Have you seen my soul bag? I had it in my hand when I hit the tree branches.”
Thoughts of snuggling back into her bed fled Millie’s mind. “If you don’t mind me saying, you don’t seem ... well ... competent enough for such an important task.”
“It’s my first assignment since my exam,” Gabriella said miserably. “If I fail, they’ll send me back into the nursery, and it will be an eternity before I can attempt to graduate. This is my second attempt. Last time I gave the wrong soul to the wrong child. They wouldn’t take the fact that I suffer from dyslexia into account.”
Millie had no idea what dyslexia was, but hoped it wasn’t infectious. “Goodness, that seems a bit harsh.”
“This time I have to succeed, or die in the attempt.”
Millie felt quite sorry for her. “I expect your bag’s still in the snowdrift, dear. I’ll go and look for it, then perhaps I can sew your wing back on for you.”
The bag was lying in a puddle of melted ice near the gate. It pulsated with blue and white light. Warm to the touch, Millie felt quite calmed by it.
“It’s a wonderful little soul,” Gabriella explained when she went back in. “This colour is rare and they’re in high demand. The baby will be equipped to become a healer - if its body survives the birth and if the soul doesn’t run out of energy. It should enter the host body before birth, really, but there’s a bit of leeway.”
Millie felt hopeful as she remembered her own great-grandchild. “My granddaughter is in labour at the moment.”
Gabriella smiled slightly. Taking a bit of paper from her pocket she squinted at it and said with great importance. “This soul is for a baby called Mary Saint.” She clapped a tiny hand over her rosebud mouth. “Forget I said that.”
Millie tried to forget it as she sewed the wing back into place with the neat hemming stitches she learned as a child - but she couldn’t help being a bit envious because the rare healing soul wasn’t destined for her great-grandchild. The operation must have hurt Gabriella, but she didn’t make a sound, which was rather brave of her, Millie thought. She appeared exhausted afterwards.
“I’ll have a short rest, then I must try and finish my journey. The child should be born about six am.”
Millie made Gabriella a cosy bed in one of her new sheepskin slippers. She kept watched over her, mainly because Leonardo had come downstairs, and was very interested in what the slipper contained. He had that look in his eye - the one he got when he thought he was still young and stalked birds.
“If anything happens to that angel I’ll throw you out in the snow,” she warned, and he jumped on her lap and rubbed his chin against hers and purred because he knew she’d do no such thing, and he’d got what he was after, anyway - her undivided attention.
Just after six the phone rang. Millie snatched it up. As expected, it was her daughter. “The baby’s a boy. He’s very tiny and the doctor doesn’t think he’ll survive.” Tears sprang to Millie’s eyes. “They’ve transferred them to Saint Mary’s, they’ve got a specialist baby unit there.”
Millie’s eyes snapped open. “Saint Mary’s!” It had to be more than a coincidence. “You mustn’t give up hope,” she said, trying not to sound too excited. “It’s Christmas, a time when miracles happen.”
She gently shook Gabriella awake. The angel wasn’t very responsive. Her eyes were dull and she was trembling. “I’m afraid I’ve caught an infection of some sort. I’m too sick to fly.”
A very strange idea formed in Millie’s head, one she wouldn’t have acted on under different circumstances. “Oh, you won’t have to fly. I have transport.”
She’d kept Frank’s old motor bike shiny and clean, but hadn’t been able to bring herself to part with it. Now and again she kick-started it, and until five years ago had ridden it to classic vehicle shows. She just hoped she could still remember how to drive the thing - her reflexes weren’t exactly what they used to be.
The leather flying jacket, hat and goggles - which had once belonged to her husband, and had flown all over Europe in a Spitfire during world war two - fit her with room to spare. Frank would have a fit if he knew what she was up to. Perhaps he did, though. Sometimes, he unexpectedly dropped by the cottage for a chat.
“Frank,” she said out loud, when she was pushing the heavy bike out of the garage. “You’d better help me with this thing. Our great-grandson’s life is at stake.”
The motor bike kick-started after a couple of backfires, which left sooty black rings in the snow. Millie let the engine run for a while, gazing down at Gabriella, tucked into the depths of the side-car in her sheepskin bed. The angel had lost some of her glow.
Millie ran her hand over the bike’s tank, remembering the summer days of her marriage, when she and Frank had toured the countryside on it. They’d had a wonderful fifty years together. She still missed Frank, even though he’d been gone for several years. These days, marriage didn’t seem to matter much. Millie couldn’t understand why people were reluctant to make a commitment to each other when they were in love - she couldn’t understand it at all.
The handlebars wobbled as she put the bike into gear and moved off in a cloud of smoke. But by the time she’d cleared the village - waving to an astonished vicar who was walking his dog before the early service - she’d gained a little confidence.
The roads were clear of snow, and the traffic was light. The dawn was cold, the air crisp. Soon, Millie’s fingers and feet were numb and her cheeks were glowing scarlet from the cold like a couple of ripe plums.
Behind the curtains of the houses she passed, she imagined children waking to excitedly delve into Christmas stockings. Turkeys would be stuffed and fitted into ovens, port decanted, carols sung and brandy flamed on Christmas puddings decorated with sprigs of holly.
Smoke curled up from chimneys. She waved to everyone she saw, shouting out, “Merry Christmas.” Bursting with seasonal cheer she drove into the hospital grounds and parked her vehicle in a space reserved for the hospital administrator, a Mr Merryweather. It was a name which conjured up a jolly, plump face smiling with benevolence.
Millie had a moment of doubt about Gabriella, who appeared quite spiritless. “Are you all right, my dear? You seem to have run out of sparkle.”
Gabriella gave her a wan smile. “The soul has lost a bit of its lustre. I’m trying to conserve the strength I have left. We should say good-bye now, Mrs Perkins. Don’t let anyone see you when you go to the nursery. Someone might try and stop you.”
“Oh, I thought you’d be spending Christmas with me, to recuperate before your journey home?”
“It’s impossible now, I’m afraid.”
When Millie realised why it was already too late. She’d sleuthed her way into the nursery and was gazing down at her tiny grandson. Born a month early, he was wired up to an extraordinary machine which bleeped rather erratically. He wore a little blue beanie on his head, which was rather sweet, and which brought a lump to her throat. He was totally captivating, and resembled her late husband, Frank, right down to his skinny, wrinkled legs.
She sensed Frank beside her now. “He’s going to make it, you know.”
“Yes, I know, Frank.” She’d seen the miracle herself, the almost imperceptible stream of life that had rippled through his body when Gabriella had anointed him with the soul. The light had grown too bright for her eyes and she’d closed them for a moment.
When she’d opened them again the angel had gone. Millie hoped the silent prayer she’d said for her would reach the right ears.
She and Frank kept watch together as the erratic bleeping of the baby’s heart strengthened. A nurse bustled in, her eyes intent on the monitor. She didn’t seem to notice her and went out again. Then, one tiny clenched fist waved in the air. The baby’s skinny legs quivered and stretched. His eyes opened and she thought she caught a glimpse of Gabriella.
“Thank you, Gabriella,” she said, and smiled.
It was a long journey back, but the cottage was warm and welcoming. Leonardo had become bored with his own company and had knocked a few coloured balls off the lower branches of the tree to amuse himself. She poured herself a well deserved glass of sherry, and was in the process of hanging the balls back on the branches when a laugh tinkled from somewhere above her.
“Gabriella?” She stopped what she was doing and stared at the top of the tree. In place of the dusty fairy Frank had won at the fun-fair several years before, was a tiny glowing angel. It twisted and turned in prisms of light. “Gracious!” she said and stared suspiciously into her glass.
The vicar dropped by later. She sensed he was as alone as she, so she invited him for lunch. She told him about Gabriella, showing him the sheepskin slipper, slightly luminous now, and the angel on top of the Christmas tree as evidence. He didn’t laugh at her, just told her she must be very special to have seen an angel, then went on to ask her about the motor bike.
She told the vicar all about her life with Frank, and allowed him to ride the bike up and down the road. He looked dashing on it. She thought she might bequeath it to him in her will.
She drank rather a lot of sherry that afternoon. So did the vicar - for his voice was slurred at the evening service, which didn’t really matter because most of the congregation had slurred voices as well. So, “While shepherds watched their flocks by night,” irreverently became, “While leopards washed their socks so bright,” it was sung with a great deal of gusto and laughter.
Millie began to giggle. The vicar smiled broadly at everyone, and when the carol was over he said he’d been inspired by the faith of one of his parishioners. He preached a fine sermon about Christmas miracles and angels who watched over newly born babes.
Her daughter rang her later in the evening, and she was jubilant. “The baby’s going to be fine, the specialist said. They’re going to call him Francis after dad, and Samantha and Joe have decided to get married. Isn’t that wonderful?”
“Wonderful indeed,” Millie said, knowing nothing else could surprise her this Christmas. As she said to Frank a little later, when she was having one of her private chats with him.
“Who would have imagined a fallen angel would land in my garden at Christmas?”

[ 8th of November release via Long Song Records: Satoko Fujii & Joe Fonda – FOUR ]
Posted On 2nd November 2019 By grzech In All That Jazz /
“The conversation is intuitive, at times seemingly telepathic — and it creates an enormous amount of drama and joy.” — Steve Feeney, The Arts Fuse
“…an intimate but uncharted and wide-ranging improvisational encounter with a fellow free-zoning master, bassist Joe Fonda…This music is infused with a wide-open spirit.” — Josef Woodard, DownBeat
“Cerebral and emotive…” — Hrayr Attarian, Jazziz
No one could have predicted that when pianist-composer Satoko Fujii and bassist-composer Joe Fonda first performed together in 2015, the duo would develop into the major collaboration it has become. And yet, four years down the road, they have toured extensively and released three CDs, all of which received rapturous critical praise. Now they present their fourth album, Four (Long Song Records, November 8, 2019), recorded in Japan with special guest trumpeter Natsuki Tamura. The inspiration that Fujii and Fonda draw from each other and the creative freedom they feel when they work together has kept their duo growing and deepening. This new release holds plenty of surprises.
“Satoko and I have created a strong body of work in a very short time of performing together as a duo and as a trio with Natsuki Tamura,” Fonda says of his work with the Japanese pianist. “The thing I love so much about playing with Satoko, and the lesson she imparts to me on every concert is, to play music without the ego being part of the process. Satoko plays from the love of music. She is selfless and leaves her ego at home when she comes to play. What a priceless lesson I receive each and every time we perform.”
For her part, Fujii also finds the duo’s music liberating. “While we often don’t notice, we really are tied up and hindered by many things. It is not easy to be truly free and not be effected by these things,” she says. “Joe is a musician who can release himself from these influences. When I play with him, I feel I also can be released from these invisible ropes and begin to find that freedom.”
The freedom and selflessness that Fonda and Fujii cite are evident from the opening moments of the album. They remain strong individuals, but they each subsume themselves to the music they are making in the moment. They are both generous musical partners, and on “Painted by Moonlight,” each uses space judiciously to leave room for the other to contribute. “Diamonds in the Rough” features some high-level melodic counterpoint between them, with one voice coexisting equally with the other. In contrast, “Cannot Do More Than That” finds them engaged in a call and response dialogue, taking turns advancing the piece, developing the last thing played, and handing it back. While the music becomes abstract and quite complex on “The Wind as it Bends,” they make eloquent music with the simplest of materials on the contemplative “Gift from Billy,” on which Fonda plays wood flute.
When Tamura joins on the final two pieces, the trio displays with the same balance of voices and sonic resourcefulness as the duo. The wide-ranging “Stars in Complete Darkness” evolves from its lyrical opening to pure sound explorations and back over the course of more than 20 minutes. The beautifully sustained group improvisation is highlighted by some of Fujii’s most probing playing. She consistently moves in unexpected directions as one note or a single chord deflects her line along a new trajectory. Elsewhere during the performance, Tamura’s wide sonic palette and Fujii’s delicate and colourful playing inside the piano, coupled with Fonda’s rich Arco drones yields gorgeous sonic tone poems. The concluding “We Meet as Three” is an elaborate conversation among three of the most inventive musicians at work in improvised music today.

Joe Fonda “is a serious seeker of new musical horizons,” according to the Boston Phoenix. From 1984 to 1999, he was the bassist with composer-improviser and NEA Jazz Master Anthony Braxton. Fonda also has been an integral member of several cooperative bands, including the Fonda-Stevens Group with Michael Jefry Stevens, Herb Robertson, and Harvey Sorgen; Conference Call, with Gebhard Ullmann, Stevens, and George Schuller; the Fab Trio with Barry Altschul and Billy Bang; and the Nu Band with Mark Whitecage, Roy Campbell, and Lou Grassi. He is currently a member of The 3dom Factor, Alschul’s trio with saxophonist Jon Irabagon, and guitarist Michael Musillami’s trio, among others. He has led some truly unique ensembles of his own including From the Source, which features four instrumentalists, a tap dancer, and a body healer/vocalist; and Bottoms Out, a sextet with Gerry Hemingway, Joe Daley, Michael Rabinowitz, Claire Daly, and Gebhard Ullmann. He has released twelve recordings under his own name.

Critics and fans alike hail pianist and composer Satoko Fujii as one of the most original voices in jazz today. She’s “a virtuoso piano improviser, an original composer and a bandleader who gets the best collaborators to deliver,” says John Fordham in The Guardian. In concert and on more than 80 albums as a leader or co-leader, she synthesises jazz, contemporary classical, avant-rock, and folk musics into an innovative style instantly recognisable as hers alone. A prolific band leader and recording artist, she celebrated her 60th birthday in 2018 by releasing one album a month from bands old and new, from solo to large ensemble. Franz A. Matzner in All About Jazz likened the twelve albums to “an ecosystem of independently thriving organisms linked by the shared soil of Fujii’s artistic heritage and shaped by the forces of her creativity.”
Over the years, Fujii has led some of the most consistently creative ensembles in modern improvised music, including her trio with bassist Mark Dresser and drummer Jim Black and an electrifying avant-rock quartet featuring drummer Tatsuya Yoshida of The Ruins. Her ongoing duet project with husband Natsuki Tamura released their sixth recording, Kisaragi, in 2017. “The duo’s commitment to producing new sounds based on fresh ideas is second only to their musicianship,” says Karl Ackermann in All About Jazz. Aspiration, a CD by an ad hoc quartet featuring Wadada Leo Smith, Tamura, and Ikue Mori, was released in 2017 to wide acclaim. “Four musicians who regularly aspire for greater heights with each venture reach the summit together on Aspiration,” writes S. Victor Aaron in Something Else. As the leader of no less than five orchestras in the U.S., Germany, and Japan (two of which, Berlin and Tokyo, released new CDs in 2018), Fujii has also established herself as one of the world’s leading composers for large jazz ensembles, leading Cadence magazine to call her, “the Ellington of free jazz.”

Using Play Therapy to Help an Anxious Child
For the purpose of confidentiality names and some details have been changed.
Do you have a child who is anxious? Play therapy can help. Here is just one example of an anxious child who developed resilience through play therapy.
Lily was four years old when she started attending play therapy with me. She had witnessed domestic violence and suffered as a result of mental health problems in one of her parents. In response to these difficulties, she had become very withdrawn and fearful. The necessary measures to ensure her safety had to be put in place before play therapy could commence, but once she was out of danger she could begin the task of healing emotionally from her trauma.
When she came for the first play therapy session with me she stood, rigid, in the middle of the room. She was hyper-vigilant and reacted with fear to every noise that she heard outside the room. She did not speak much, and anything she said was muttered under her breath. Using my body language and tone of voice, I focused on being a calm and reassuring presence in the room, allowing her space and time to explore the many fascinating objects in the room. I acknowledged her fearful responses to noises, and let her know that I was with her, I knew how she felt and that she was safe.
She soon began to feel comfortable enough to play with the toys in the room.
Lily played out many themes over the next few months, such as stories about rescuing, overpowering fearful characters, ‘nurturing’ play, setting up scenarios in which she would meet obstacles and have to overcome them, and regulating her feelings with blowing activities. These activities were all chosen by her, and she moved through them at her own pace, often coming back to re-enact the same themes over several weeks. Sometimes I could see the metaphors in the stories she played out- I could see how they represented her life. Occasionally her play did not make sense to me, but I could see that it was profoundly important to her and that she was working through some deep issues. My job is not to interpret her play to her, but just to stay with her feelings, reflecting them back to her, to witness the stories she showed me, and to join her in her play when invited to.
Through reflecting feelings, mirroring her tone and body language, and creating an atmosphere of non-judgemental acceptance, a therapeutic relationship was established, which allowed Lily to play out her feelings and practice new ways of experiencing and responding to the world. It is that feeling of safe-holding and acceptance that makes play therapy different to the regular play of day-to-day life.
As well as working with Lily, I also met regularly with her carer. I helped her to understand Lily’s behaviour, and showed her how to help Lily to feel calm and secure.
Lily attended play therapy for 30 sessions over the space of a year, and when she was ready to finish attending she was a completely different child to when she started. She would come bounding up the stairs to my room and was loud and exuberant in the play therapy sessions. (was this really the same child who had been like a frightened little mouse in the early sessions?) She was able to talk directly about her feelings, and was able to express her anger and disappointments in ways which were appropriate and healthy. Lily’s life was still not perfect, due to a difficult relationship with one parent, but through play therapy she had learned to cope with these difficulties in ways which were healthy, and not become overwhelmed with too-big emotions. Her carer reported that she was much happier in herself and had become more sociable and outgoing.
To look at her now, no-one would suspect the difficult first few years that Lily had endured. She was lucky to have attended play therapy at a young age. It is never too late for therapy, but when the child is young their brain is able to adapt more easily. Play therapy has given her back her childhood.
If you have a child who is anxious, and would like to find out if play therapy could help your child, contact me for an appointment. The case discussed above was about a child who had suffered immense trauma in her early years. Play therapy can also be highly effective for anxiety where the cause for their fears and worries is not known. I can work in partnership with the parents to see how we can all best support the child.

when I am reading a ton of stuff for fun/intellectual play I often guiltily find the issues of the TLS and the New York Review of Books piling up unread; it's when I'm too busy to have non-work-related book-reading (i.e. the last six weeks, it's making me slightly crazy and actually I just picked up the two plays I need to read for a discussion group tomorrow & realized that after having already today written a book review and taken care of edits on another and lectured on Tom Jones and held office hours and had various important meetings with students really and actually from dawn till dusk my brain was going to totally bust if I tried to read anything to do with the eighteenth century and I am just going to have to give the evening over to calm mental relaxation preferably involving a bit of blogging and a novel with supernatural creatures of some kind and take the plays up again in the morning tomorrow when I will have been in theory mentally refreshed by sleep) that they come to seem such a godsend. Intellectual stimulation in small doses, also conveniently able to lie flat on the table in front of me while I eat my dinner!
So I have been avidly consuming the more literary or otherwise interesting-to-me-and-not-policyish end of stuff in the NYRB. Last week (no point listing everything, lots of good things) there was Luc Sante on H. P. Lovecraft (available online to non-subscribers) and a very good essay about Proust by Graham Robb (not sure who that link will work for--let me know if it gets you through without a Columbia ID?--but it is a great relief that the Columbia library's finally sorted out the electronic subscription, I have been grumbling for ages on principle about the unreasonableness of having to pay an additional sum for an electronic subscription, it is what I will not do...) and also a very striking essay by Istvan Deak about police informers in Communist Hungary; this week Joyce Carol Oates on Margaret Atwood (no subscription required) and a great piece by Darryl Pinckney about Colson Whitehead's latest novel Apex Hides the Hurt (not sure about the link's accessibility again, but I especially liked this because I am a fan of both guys' writing and it's nice to see the one appreciating the other).
So all of this is well and good. But really the point of this (I hope uncharacteristically) rambling and roundabout and altogether-more-confessional-than-usual entry is to say something quite different. There is the most wonderful thing published in two parts over these two issues, and if you only read one thing this whole year in the New York Review of Books this is what it must be.
It's David Bromwich on Lincoln, and it would be good if they published some version of it in a little chapbook, it is a very wise and compelling piece of writing and I would buy several copies for Xmas presents. (Oh dear, that is a frivolous way of expressing it, but I really do feel the need to press this text on everyone I know.)
Here's part one, which opens with these wonderful and Hazlitt-tinctured yet deeply Bromwichian sentences (it is a matter of style and of substance, there's both a ring in the words and a particular sidewaysness in the insight that are characteristic of his mode of thinking, like a maxim from La Rochefoucauld made more supple and humanized by the workings of the moral imagination): "Abraham Lincoln knew himself well—something we seldom allow for and perhaps do not want in a great man. It is harder to feel a legitimate pride in our own understanding when the hero has been there first."
(There are times when I am willing to concede that the essay can match the novel blow for blow when it comes to the intellectual and ethical investigation of character.)
And here is part two. If you can't click through with those links, perhaps send me an e-mail and I will see if I can e-mail them to you, these really are something special.
(Full disclosure: David Bromwich was one of my dissertation advisors, and if I were the type to be an intellectual acolyte--which I am not, not at all, nor is he the type to encourage such behavior--I would definitely sign on for this one. I learned more from that guy than from any other teacher I've ever had. And I learned a lot from a lot of the other teachers too, I have been very lucky in my teachers, so this is not a casual statement.)
Here's a particularly striking bit from the second part (it's a review essay, really, about recent Lincoln biographies by Richard Carwardine and Doris Kearns Goodwin):
A second popular fallacy has crept into recent discussions of the Civil War in the light of the present "war on terror." Two groups, unrestricted libertarians and admirers of an imperial presidency, now look back on Lincoln as a radical innovator in the use of emergency powers. Libertarians deplore what they think Lincoln did, while champions of executive power endorse it, but the two agree that he went extraordinarily far. How true is this? Let us remember that Lincoln was president at a time not of foreign but of civil war, the only extended war on American soil, when the very existence of the republic was in peril. He spoke of the situation candidly: "Must a government, of necessity, be too strong for the liberties of its own people, or too weak to maintain its own existence?" He had both a profound and a practical love of liberty, and a notably unexaggerated view of the meaning of "maintaining its own existence." He was in fact, by the standards of later presidents such as Roosevelt, Nixon, and George W. Bush, restrained in his use of emergency powers. Lincoln went by a contracted not an expansive definition of state security.
His first invocation of such powers gives a sense of the purpose that informed his policy. Habeas corpus was suspended in 1861 to protect the railroad—used for the transportation of soldiers and supplies—against the danger that rioters in secessionist Maryland would tear up the tracks. A celebrated later episode turned on the arrest by General Burnside of the anti-Union demagogue Clement Vallandigham (an Ohio congressman and later a gubernatorial candidate): an arrest that Lincoln, without having ordered it, defended in a closely reasoned public letter. Having made his argument, he drew back and offered to revoke the order against Vallandigham if his supporters would swear not to foment desertion and sabotage.
But here's the part from the first half of the review that had me thinking for days afterwards:
Goodwin's subtitle [The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln] makes a point that is easily missed. The political genius of Lincoln appears most sharply in the collective talents of his cabinet. We may thus be reminded of two sorts of biography she has the wit not to attempt: the portrait of a solitary genius in politics, and the sequence of facts about a man who was president when important things happened around him. Both of those stories have been told about Lincoln, and both are misleading, but the second is the more pernicious and more apt to be taken seriously today. When Lincoln said in a late letter to Albert Hodges, "I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me," he was employing a stock formula of humility whose sense was evasive and concessive. Yet the statement has given deterministic historians, from his time to ours, all the evidence they need to convict him of playing a subordinate role in the inexorable march of events.
Goodwin asks us to regard Lincoln not as an isolated hero, and not as a patient absorber of the shocks of impersonal forces, but as the first among peers who led the country through its most dangerous emergency. What is a cabinet? In a constitutional system, it should represent neither the elite of a party nor the unmodified will of the people. Where persons of honor and competence are brought together and managed by a presiding intelligence—if the president knows who those people are and if the president is one who can lead and not just speak and sign—the cabinet becomes a well-adapted instrument for the public good, a body more coherent than a legislature and taking longer views than a king. To make it work, however, the president must have certain qualities. He must cherish an impartial curiosity about all the shades of opinion in the country he governs. He must want to hear bad news.
Lincoln determined from the first to make Seward his secretary of state—for the respect he commanded, for his worldly wisdom, and to reward all he had done to deliver a Republican victory in New York. Yet Seward differed with Lincoln immediately on the makeup of the cabinet. Lincoln believed it should exhibit the whole range of the party; Seward preferred to include nobody except former Whigs. Accordingly, he opposed the appointment of Chase, of Gideon Welles, and of Montgomery Blair, former Democrats whom he rightly saw as hostile to his interests. His New York ally Thurlow Weed backed this exclusionist plan, and told Lincoln that by taking on Chase at Treasury, Simon Cameron as secretary of war, Welles for the Navy, and Blair for postmaster general, he was building up a cabinet that threatened to overwhelm Seward at State, Bates as attorney general, and Caleb Smith in the Department of the Interior. It would simply make for a Democratic majority. "You seem to forget," said Lincoln, "that I expect to be there."
What is a cabinet, indeed?

Kodiak Sciences Completes $33 Million Mezzanine Private Financing
Proceeds to Support Development of KSI-301 in Retinal Diseases
Palo Alto, CA, April 26, 2018 – Kodiak Sciences Inc., a development-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in novel therapeutics to treat high prevalence ophthalmic diseases, today announced the completion of a $33 million mezzanine private financing of convertible notes. Perceptive Advisors and ArrowMark Partners joined existing investors in the financing. Additional terms were not disclosed.
Kodiak intends to use the proceeds from the financing to advance the development of its lead product candidate, KSI-301, an anti-VEGF therapy for wet age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
“The financing announced today allows us to build on the progress we are making to advance our lead product candidate, KSI-301, into the clinic,” said Victor Perlroth, M.D., Kodiak’s Chief Executive Officer. “The funding will also support development of additional pipeline programs beyond KSI-301 to address other high prevalence ophthalmic diseases.”
About KSI-301
Kodiak’s lead product candidate, KSI-301, is a novel pre-IND stage anti-VEGF biologic therapy that is designed to combine inhibition of a known pathway with a potentially superior ocular durability profile compared to drugs currently marketed for wet AMD and DR. KSI-301 is built with Kodiak’s Antibody Biopolymer Conjugate, or ABC, platform, which is designed to maintain potent and effective drug levels in ocular tissues. By addressing the primary causes of undertreatment, KSI-301 has the potential to improve and sustain visual acuity outcomes in patients with neovascular conditions of the retina such as wet AMD and DR.
About Kodiak Sciences
Kodiak Sciences Inc. is a development-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in novel therapeutics to treat high prevalence ophthalmic diseases. Our mission is to become a global leader in the discovery and development of best-in-class medicines for the treatment of ophthalmic diseases. We believe our Antibody Biopolymer Conjugate, or ABC, platform has the potential to fuel a pipeline of novel product candidates in high prevalence ophthalmic diseases. In addition to its lead product candidate, KSI-301, Kodiak has leveraged its ABC platform to build a pipeline of product candidates in various stages of preclinical development including KSI-501, a dual inhibitor antibody biopolymer conjugate for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy. Kodiak is based in Palo Alto, CA.

Using bomb radiocarbon analyses to validate age and growth estimates for the tiger shark, Galeocerdo cuvier, in the western North Atlantic,
Refined and validated age and growth determinations are necessary for a proper understanding of tiger shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) life history characteristics in the western North Atlantic (WNA). Age and growth estimates were derived from band counts of 238-sectioned vertebral centra. Bomb radiocarbon analysis of ten band pairs extracted from four vertebral sections suggested that band pairs are deposited annually up to age 20. Males and females were aged to 20 and 22 years, respectively, although longevity estimates predict maximum ages of 27 and 29 years, respectively. Two- and three-parameter von Bertalanffy and Gompertz growth functions fit to length at age data demonstrated that growth rates were similar for males and females up to around 200 cm fork length (FL) after which male growth slowed. Both sexes appear to reach maturity at age 10. The two-parameter von Bertalanffy growth function provided the best biological fit to length at age data generating parameter estimates of: L ∞ = 330 cm FL, k = 0.131 for males and L ∞ = 347 cm FL, k = 0.124 for females, with L 0 set at 62 cm FL. This study provides a rigorous description of tiger shark age and growth in the WNA and further demonstrates the utility of bomb radiocarbon as an age validation tool for elasmobranch fish. © 2008 Springer-Verlag., Cited By (since 1996):6, Fish and Fisheries, CODEN: MBIOA, ,

Dewey Trial comes to a close: Homage to the Press UPDATE
After 19 days of deliberations and the longest in Manhattan Criminal Court,
the press, still presses on. Some new reporters arrive, some take shifts and some are sitting through the long slog of the jury deliberations. Below is an updated picture of the press corps.
Left to Right, Matthew Goldstein (NY Times), Sara Randazo (WSJ), Stewart Bishop and Max Stendahl ( Law 360), Joseph Ax ( Reuters), Christine Simmons ( American Lawyer) and Chris Dolmetsch ( Bloomberg )
After over 4 months, the trial of Steven Davis, Stephen DiCarmine and Joel Sanders comes to a close. The jury selection began late April. On top of the ever present attorneys, their teams, defendants and their families, the press (particularly some that are very focused upon legal news) have been omnipresent.
For those readers who have followed and read about this trial daily, below is an image of your source of information. The reporters from Law 360, American Lawyer, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times are pictured below. For months they listened to hours of evidence and testimony, distilled down the key points and wrote their stories in the un-air conditioned courthouse hallways of the summer.
They will be there when the verdict is read, awaiting the jury's decision every day.

Courtroom art of the trial of Aaron Burr : Acquitted of misdemeanor September 1807
On June 24, 1807 a grand jury indicted Aaron Burr ( 3rd Vice President of the United States) for treason, for levying war against the United States, an act which allegedly took place on December 10, 1806. The grand jury also indicted Burr for high misdemeanor, for organizing a military expedition against Spain in Mexico, in violation of the Neutrality Act of 1794. A remarkable aspect of the trial was President Jefferson's micromanagement of the prosecution from the White House. Jefferson himself never doubted that Burr was a traitor. Burr had served as Jefferson's Vice President from 1801-1805.
Courtroom illustration of the trial of Aaron Burr—some of the finest lawyers in the country argued the case—where the right of due process and protection for the rule of law were at stake.—© Bettmann / Corbis
Most of the spectators were familiar with the stars of the drama, or “Melo-drama,” as one newspaper put it, and most had taken sides in the bitter public conflicts between Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr.
The long legal ordeal ended without a single conviction in 1807. Burr was legally a free man, but most Americans, including the president who said so publicly, still considered him a traitor, and a traitor who had escaped the gallows. After four years of self-imposed exile in Europe, Burr returned to New York, where he remained a social outcast, a man without a country. Jefferson may have lost his case, but he succeeded in destroying Burr or at least in helping Burr destroy himself.
Burr died in Staten Island on September 14, 1836. He is buried in Princeton New Jersey.

DEFLATEGATE: Jeffrey Kessler, attorney representing Tom Brady and NFL Players Association
Jeffrey Kessler is a partner at the New York office of Winston and Strawn, a Chicago-based law firm. He represented the NFL Player Association and Tom Brady during the Deflategate hearings in Manhattan Federal Court, arguing the case in front of Judge Richard Berman. The judge ruled against the NFL, overturned the suspensions and Kessler secured a victory for the NFL Players Assn.
Here is the full transcript of his interview on NBC Sport about the win.

What Kessler's tried.
McNeil, et al. v. NFL, et al—In one of the most impactful cases in NFL history, Kessler successfully argued against the league’s Plan B system, which gave clubs limited rights to retain 37 players each season, on behalf of Jets running back Freeman McNeil and a host of others. That decisionpaved the way for the league’s adopting a free agency system.
Zenith v. Matsushita—In a major non-sports case, Kessler was part of a team that successfully defended electronics companies Matsushita and JVC in the U.S. Supreme Court over claims of a worldwide conspiracy.
Brady v. NFL—In 2011, Kessler represented lead plaintiff Tom Brady and a class of other players in the case that ultimately led to the end of the 2011 NFL lockout and the establishment of a new collective bargaining agreement.
Sprewell v. NBA—When the Golden State Warriors’ Latrell Sprewell was suspended for a year and had the remainder of his contract voided by the NBA in 1997 after choking coach P.J. Carlesimo, Kessler successfully got the voiding of his contract overturned and his suspension reduced to the remainder of the season.
Kessler also aided the appeals of Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma, Vikings running back Adrian Peterson and Ravens running back Ray Rice, all of whose suspensions were ultimately reduced or overturned.

Judge nullifies Tom Brady's four-game suspension: Roger Goodell: NFL will appeal
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000520654/article/roger-goodell-nfl-will-appeal-tom-brady-ruling
From NFL.com
Tom Brady will be under center for the Patriots' season opener next Thursday.
The ruling, handed down by U.S. District Judge Richard Berman on Thursday morning, nullified the four-game suspension levied against the Patriots quarterback back on May 11 when Ted Wells, an independent investigator hired by the NFL, asserted Brady's connection to deflated footballs used in the AFC Championship Game this past season. Goodell upheld that four-game suspension upon review.
The decision came after multiple attempts at settlement between Brady, his council, the NFL Players Association and the NFL. On Monday, Berman dismissed both sides after just a few minutes after realizing they were too far apart to reach a settlement.
Roger Goodell ( far left) and Tom Brady ( second from right) in Federal Court on August 12th.
Goodell later announced the league would appeal the decision.
"We are grateful to Judge Berman for hearing this matter, but respectfully disagree with today's decision. We will appeal today's ruling in order to uphold the collectively bargained responsibility to protect the integrity of the game," Goodell wrote. "The commissioner's responsibility to secure the competitive fairness of our game is a paramount principle, and the league and our 32 clubs will continue to pursue a path to that end. While the legal phase of this process continues, we look forward to focusing on football and the opening of the regular season."
According to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport, the league will not seek a stay to keep Brady off the field under its appeal.

I thought I'd try at a topic to share some appreciation of things most posters will probably have a shared interest in.
The reason I come up with this particular topic is that I I recently saw Apocalypse Now (the redux, which I had not seen before and which roots the film into its political context, as a result of which I became more involved), and I am intrigued by the way Marlon Brando comes into his acting very late in the long monologue about the Vietnamese warrior mentality. I feel the bulk of it is a bit contrived, but it suddenly is startlingly evil, when the actor applies all this horror to himself. He says:
"If I had ten divisions of those men, then our troubles here would be over very quickly."
Not a great line per se, but it is so convincingly delivered that it accumulates all the random cruelty of the film prior to that moment into a bit of sense of purpose, which then is even more disturbing than the a-moral chaos we have seen so far.
I must say that I'm generally just as interested in romantic comedy as in poetic war films.
The strong do what they can, the weak accept what they must.

Richard Crenna's speech in First Blood. To Brian Dennehy. Maybe the best ever.

Alec Baldwin did a pretty good job on his closing argument in Nuremburg.
Kevin Spacey's speech to his wife in American Beauty ending in, "I rule," was pretty hilarious.

Still, everything is context here. Suppose instead of dropping a balloon filled with paint on a car, George Willis Jr. and the boys had burned down a campus building or been involved in a sexual assault or murdered someone? What would constitute integrity on the part of Charlie Simms then?
Should he rat them out or not? Would that be the couragous thing to do?
Movies often manipulate us emotionally. Everything is always more black and white than the shades of gray world we live in.

But the context upon which Charlie's integrity rest is a rather grey area. Should he rat on George Jr. and his rich kid friends for participating in a stunt that resulted in a car being damaged by paint?
But the stunt could have been considerably more grave. The movie portrays Trask, George Jr. and "the boys" in a very unfavorable light. Which makes it easier to react to Charlie's behavior as a nominal betrayal only. The sleazeballs deserved to be humilitated or punished---but not the angelic [ordinary guy] Charlie.
This can only be predicated however on how we react to what the sleazeballs did to Trask. Change that and our reactions might change as well.
But this will always be embedded in the narratives of particular daseins. There is no exact line we can draw between Charlie did the right thing and Charlie did the wrong thing.

Indeed that is a well delivered line. If I am not mistaken this film is directed by the same man who directed Robocop, which also has some memorable performances. Especially the character of the gang-leader and his boss Dick Jones deliver their lines well.

That's probably the best line in the movie. But it's delivered so casually, as if he says "I love the smell of coffee in the morning".
No, Coronel Kurtz is beyond any such value judgments. I think the film makes a very strong turn in introducing Kurtz after first having made it clear that Vietnam is no place for morality, as described in the line abut speeding tickets you quoted. Before we see him, the viewer is led to think that it cannot possible be worse or less moral than the arbitrary death we are treated to at every juncture. But then it is. "It smelled like slow death in there".

I do remember getting quite involved, but I remember no specifics. Is there any line in particular that stands out?
For me the best delivered line for that film is: "It's okay, I wouldn't remember me either". I still want to say that to someone, if the occasion presents itself.
That's exactly what they are meant to do, and do all the time, I would say. Film is in a sense a continuation of the art of rhetorics. To place a perspective in a context, so as to make it believable and acceptable, to an audience that is at first uninvested. This very effective scene is a good example of how you can make any issue seem like the world is at stake.
Strong delivery indeed. Very theatrical.

A guy getting told he's going to kill someone. (1:00)
What's well delivered is the fear, rather than the striking of it. (Although if you haven't seen this movie watch it --- it completely trumps morality, extremely Hegelian, positing determination (absolute spirit) as culminating from slavery through suffering and suffering overcome, to pride and then victory. This order of things, this is the genius.
I get the impression that it's the position of the American writers guild, that this is the first American in French -- but in being this, it surpasses the American film. Nothing is added, but one thing subtracted: prefabricated morality. A morality is being built up.

It was never really established in the film that Colonel Kurtz was even sane. To wit:
Willard: They told me that you had gone totally insane, and that your methods were unsound.
Kurtz: Are my methods unsound?
Willard: I don't see any method at all, sir.
There are always value judgments. It is only a question of jamming all the conflicting ones together and coming up with the least dysfunctional behaviors. But this can never be more than a point of view. Kurtz's own included folks dangling from trees and decapitated heads strewn about everywhere.
The moral narrative I impose on Vietnam revolves around political economy and the assumption that those who prosecuted the conflict were less interested in democracy and human rights for the South Vietnamese and more concerned with preventing the falling Commie dominos from taking more and more cheap labor, natural resources and markets from the folks who owned and operated Wall Street and Washington D.C.
Morality "out in the world" has far more to do with the whims and the wherewithal of wealth and power than with the carefully calibrated philosophical propositions we get from folks like Aristotle and Kant.
Virtue? That's always been for sale. It's just that some folks want to rationalize things bought and sold as Virtue.

On second thought, I think that it precisely does address this - ! perhaps the line as it is written does not, but the delivery is too convincing to take lightly. I find it the most frightening part of the entire play of perspectives.

Yes, you're right. Beautifully written.
But what do you think that was he doing there in the first place? What might he have thought, on his way over, possibly on a similar boat-ride?
In Vietnam the military industrial complex came to light. From what I gather (in large part through film) is that this was the death-blow to American morality, from which it is now properly beginning to suffer. And meanwhile, "communism" (statist dictatorship) is triumphing all over the world.
In a word: will-to-power.
Yes, that is true of course, and it has always been. The truth wears a friendly mask.

Role of the CCN protein family in cancer

The CCN protein family is composed of six matricellular proteins, which serve regulatory roles rather than structural roles in the extracellular matrix. First identified as secreted proteins which are induced by oncogenes, the acronym CCN came from the names of the first three members: CYR61, CTGF, and NOV. All six members of the CCN family consist of four cysteine-rich modular domains. CCN proteins are known to regulate cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. In addition, CCN proteins are associated with cardiovascular and skeletal development, injury repair, inflammation, and cancer. They function either through binding to integrin receptors or by regulating the expression and activity of growth factors and cytokines. Given their diverse roles related to the pathology of certain diseases such as fibrosis, arthritis, atherosclerosis, diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, and cancer, there are many emerging studies targeting CCN protein signaling pathways in attempts to elucidate their potentials as therapeutic targets.

The Resource Nothing ventured, Jeffrey Archer
The item Nothing ventured, Jeffrey Archer represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in City of Stirling Library Services.
Archer, Jeffrey, 1940-
Nothing Ventured heralds the start of a brand new series in the style of Jeffrey Archer's #1 New York Times bestselling Clifton Chronicles: introducing Detective William Warwick. But this is not a detective story, this is a story about the making of a detective . . . William Warwick has always wanted to be a detective, and decides, much to his father's dismay, that rather than become a lawyer like his father, Sir Julian Warwick QC, and his sister Grace, he will join London's Metropolitan Police Force. After graduating from university, William begins a career that will define his life: from his early months on the beat under the watchful eye of his first mentor, Constable Fred Yates, to his first highstakes case as a fledgling detective in Scotland Yard's arts and antiquities squad. Investigating the theft of a priceless Rembrandt painting from the Fitzmolean Museum, he meets Beth Rainsford, a research assistant at the gallery who he falls hopelessly in love with, even as Beth guards a secret of her own that she's terrified will come to light. While William follows the trail of the missing masterpiece, he comes up against suave art collector Miles Faulkner and his brilliant lawyer, Booth Watson QC, who are willing to bend the law to breaking point to stay one step ahead of William. Meanwhile, Miles Faulkner's wife, Christina, befriends William, but whose side is she really on? This new series introduces William Warwick, a family man and a detective who will battle throughout his career against a powerful criminal nemesis. Through twists, triumph and tragedy, this series will show that William Warwick is destined to become one of Jeffrey Archer's most enduring legacies

Journal: World Journal of Gastroenterology
Keywords: Congenital bronchoesophageal fistula | Adult | Esophagography | Surgical treatment
AIM: To study the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and surgical treatment of congenital bronchoesophageal fistulae in adults.METHODS: Eleven adult cases of congenital bronchoesophageal fistula diagnosed and treated in our hospital between May 1990 and August 2010 were reviewed. Its clinical presentations, diagnostic methods, anatomic type, treatment, and follow-up were recorded.RESULTS: Of the chief clinical presentations, nonspecific cough and sputum were found in 10 (90.9%), recurrent bouts of cough after drinking liquid food in 6 (54.6%), hemoptysis in 6 (54.6%), low fever in 4 (36.4%), and chest pain in 3 (27.3%) of the 11 cases, respectively. The duration of symptoms before diagnosis ranged 5-36.5 years. The diagnosis of congenital bronchoesophageal fistulae was established in 9 patients by barium esophagography, in 1 patient by esophagoscopy and in 1 patient by bronchoscopy, respectively. The congenital bronchoesophageal fistulae communicated with a segmental bronchus, a main bronchus, and an intermediate bronchus in 8, 2 and 1 patients, respectively. The treatment of congenital bronchoesophageal fistulae involved excision of the fistula in 10 patients or division and suturing in 1 patient. The associated lung lesion was removed in all patients. No long-term sequelae were found during the postoperative follow-up except in 1 patient with bronchial fistula who accepted reoperation before recovery.CONCLUSION: Congenital bronchoesophageal fistula is rare in adults. Its most useful diagnostic method is esophagography. It must be treated surgically as soon as the diagnosis is established.

… When looking for activities that are comparable to the work of the visual artist, there are actually only two intellectual professions: It is the poet and philosopher who provide the community of objectives in which the artist participates. Their chief preoccupation, like the artist, is the expression in concrete form of their notions of reality.
In Madeleine Boschan’s oeuvre, literature and, above all, poetry are an important point of reference. Thus, the exhibition title The Enormous Room is borrowed from the novel of the same name by the American poet and writer E. E. Cummings. At the same time, this very novel serves as inspiration for the title of her new works for Innsbruck: In the further end six figures (a sort of room) I-VI.
But how can this work-inherent reference to literature be explained apart from the titles of the works? Like literature, which can conjure up spaces of thought in the reader, evoke a certain mood or describe a human interaction, Boschan’s sculptures constantly influence the atmosphere of a given place. This spatial atmosphere can affect moods and sensations, and thus triggers an interrelation between the works and the viewer’s perception.
In this regard, it is striking that it is always descriptions of places and spaces that interest the artist – places of human encounters and interaction which are the prerequisite for our reality and our human existence to occur. Thus, places are of an existential nature themselves. In recent years, Madeleine Boschan has created a series of portals that have an architectural feel to them and are characterized by a minimalist-constructive form language. Sometimes executed in small format, sometimes in monumental size, they are an imaginary as well as a real space for possible human encounters and interactions.
Madeleine Boschan has developed her new works In the further end six figures (a sort of room) I-VI, which are derived from the shapes of the openings and walk-through situations of these very portals. In this way, the works are part of a development in which her sculptures have moved more and more from an abstract linear form language to a flat, concrete one. She has created six geometric, monochrome wall pieces that strike a balance between the virtual image and the actual object, the pink and turquoise-green coloring of which is borrowed from the ancient polychromic tradition. The idiosyncratic flat objects clearly gain in physicality through their installation with an optical ’stand‘ on the lower edge, their specific forms tapering towards the wall, and the shadows created by this. Their plasticity is further enhanced by the hand-applied, haptic painting with egg tempera, in which every brushstroke, every painterly gesture and every layer of the paint application, consisting of several layers of paint, can be traced. Madeleine Boschan thus reflects on both the objecthood of the picture and the pictorialness of the object.
However, she adds another dimension in the further end six figures (a sort of room) I-VI since she turns the original empty forms or negative spaces of the portals into positive ones so that they meet the viewer with all their physicality. Wall and space combine with the perceived objects, which convey their potential pictorialness to the viewer. At the same time, temporality is inscribed in the works through the brush stroke and the multi-layered application of paint so that space and time meet in them.
The asymmetrical shapes of the works are in strong contrast to the symmetry of the gallery space. Through this, the human orientation as a subjective spatial sensation is unbalanced and the viewer is required to actively relate to the surrounding space and the works in order to determine his or her own position within this structure.

PSA: Jose Reyes Is A Bad Baseball Player
There are times a manager is stuck playing a player because he doesn’t have a better option. There are times when a manager is stuck playing a player because that player has a big contract, and the team wants to try to extract as much value from the player as they can. There are other times when you play a player because you legitimately believe that player will improve.
Then there is Terry Collins continuously putting Jose Reyes in the lineup.
You cannot possibly justify putting Reyes in the lineup now. In his first 58 games this year, Reyes is hitting .186/.261/.294 with nine doubles, two triples, three homers, 18 RBI, and nine stolen bases. Among Major League third baseman, Reyes has the lowest batting average and slugging. He also has the second worst on base percentage. His -1.1 WAR is the second worst in the majors among third baseman, and it is the third worst among major league infielders. Overall, he’s a bad hitter.
You can’t even argue Reyes is hot. He is current two for his last 30, and he hasn’t had an extra base hit in over two weeks. You could call it a funk, but look at his numbers for the season. This is who Reyes is now.
He’s also not much of a fielder. In 270 innings at third, he has posted a -4 DRS and a -2.2 UZR. It’s a short sample size for sure, but it lines up with the numbers he posted in 427 innings at third last year when he had a -6 DRS and a -2.5 UZR.
It’s not like Collins is stuck playing Reyes. First and foremost, Reyes is making the major league minimum, and he is going to be a free agent after the season. There’s no need to try to save any face by playing Reyes. Also, there is a much better option.
Wilmer Flores is in the middle of a career year. He’s hitting .326/.349/.507 with eight doubles, a triple, five homers, 18 RBI, and a stolen base. He’s not the platoon bat he once was either. Against right-handed pitching this year, Flores is hitting .298/.327/.462 with six doubles, a triple, five homers, and 14 RBI. Since May 1st, Flores is hitting .366/.398/.573 off of right-handed pitching.
In essence, Flores is not just the Mets best choice at third base. Right now, Flores is the best hitter in the Mets lineup. Sure, he will likely be supplanted by another player on the roster. However, that player is likely to be Michael Conforto or Yoenis Cespedes. It’s not going to be Reyes.
By the way, if you are interested in fielding your best defensive infield, Flores still needs to play ahead of Reyes. In 197.1 innings at third this year, Flores has a 1 DRS and a -2.3 UZR. No, those aren’t great numbers, but they are better numbers than Reyes is posting.
Overall, there is absolutely no reason why Reyes is in the starting lineup. Frankly, you could argue the Mets should have kept Sean Gilmartin and designated Reyes for assignment. At the very least, that would have kept T.J. Rivera, who is having a much better season than Reyes, on the roster.
But no, Reyes has been in the starting lineup for four straight games and five out of the last six games while appearing in all six games. That’s more than any other infielder on the roster. It needs to stop, and it needs to stop now. Unfortuantely, with Reyes’ sizzling hot 1-4 with an RBI last night, it’s not likely Collins will reduce his playing time.

Gothamist says:
Good point, start Wilmer!
What are the stats for Jose after April?
Unrelated, The Mets did draft a third baseman with a big athletic frame last night…
We will see how these players pan out. Typically, we need to wait at least three years before we see them in the majors. Usually, it takes longer.
Another point to make.had Reyes been on 2nd instead of Reynolds in the last Texas game, do you think Reyes would have scored as Reynolds did? I do not..he would have jogged to 3rd and slowed to look at the play behind him..I am tired if his fake bunting (and he NEVER bunts, except the last hit to win his cowardly batting title), lack of selectivity (nothing new there though) and inability to play well anymore. Time is ruthless…DFA and move on
Rafe says:
Reyes went into the final weekend trailing Ryan Braun by three points .332 to .329 in the race for the batting title. He went 9 for 15 to win the title by 4 points. A great finish and nothing cowardly, so check your facts first.
I thought Reyes pulling himself from the game was overblown, but there is a point to his being cowardly. Instead of leaving it all out on the field in what was likely his final game ever as a Met, he got his hit and left the game.
There is a measure in cowardice in that.

One thing I could remember for next performance is to thank the audience for the accompaniment. Thank you, you are a great audience!
And before they reset my compuserve password, my new answer to the secret security question, "What's your favorite band?" is
"Urban Barnyard."
Today, May 20th, Mary Help of Christians closed to become a Chapel of Convenience. Father Mark sees himself next in Ohio. The R&B guy who moved with the weekend flea market from the MHC yard to the public high school yard said the MHC yard was sold to NYU.
Howard said the funeral home on A and East 12th is not selling.
The parochial school with the Chico Mural will become college dorms?
At least keep the church as a Turino landmark.
The church has steep steps, a tradition in Manhattan. During the packed service, some attendees were pulling the bell rope. At first one of the priests was doing it. You couldn't hear anything. I thought, wow, that's a sound proof entrance, but then some of the bigger fellows came along and, yes it rang and rang until the rope broke. I went upstairs. Howard had gone from the alter to the top floor by the organ. We went to the bell tower, one of two. I climped up to the rafter and attached the frayed horse-hair with my usual knot that pulls against the lower knot, and slipped the rope, which begins as a ribbon through one hole, then downstairs through another then looking from downstairs tieing a little knot in the ribbon, through a hole in the crawl space then someone pulled from below, pulling the length of the rope down. That's a heavy bell.
Cardinal Eagen's name came up today.
Try to remember you have a beautiful jewelbox over there (East 12th Street between 1st and A). The interior colors are a pale gold beige with light blues, it's such a light fresh air church. It's your chapel of convenience. Anyway, I, understatement, recommend you allow for the maintainenance of this charming legend. It never looked more beautiful than today, and thanks, Salesians, for being friends to the friendless. Good point about the batteries that look the same but only some power the flashlight.
Howard heard me play war-is-over songs on WBAI last month. Bob Fass must have rebroadcast his Phil Oches tribute.
Today's service incorporated many beautiful musical moments. They played a lovely recording, "si signore" and during "The Lord's Prayer" sang what I believe was the "our father" words in Spanish to the tune of "Sounds of Silence."
One of the attendees, who usually attends the church on 12th between Avenues C & D said that Bishop Sullivan, who led this service, was a priest to watch.
Mary Help of Helpseekers!
One thing I could remember for next performance is...

BID 32 leaders committed to ‘building neighborhood from within’
August 1, 2018 by Andrea Waxman Leave a Comment

Several blocks on North Avenue near 16th Street buzzed with pedestrian and vehicular activity on a recent summer morning. Customers greeted each other as they entered and exited Galst Food Market and popped in and out of The Juice Kitchen across the street. Neighbors and acquaintances lingered on sidewalks in the perfect summer weather, chatting in pairs and small groups. Construction vehicles and machines added to the hum of energy in the heart of Lindsay Heights.
As the long-vacant Blommer Ice Cream factory at 15th and North is transformed and an adjacent structure rises to form Legacy Lofts, the community is seeing growth. The mixed-income residential complex containing 64 apartments represents the kind of economic development the North Avenue/Fond du Lac Marketplace Business Improvement District 32, established in 2004, focuses on.
BID 32’s goal is to create “a viable and sustainable commercial corridor that supports local entrepreneurs,” according to its website. The BID works to engage current business owners and attract local, regional or national businesses to locate to the community.
Additional priorities, according to BID president Sharon Adams, are to strengthen community bonds, allow residents to build wealth and, especially, make sure that improvements do not displace the people who already live in the neighborhood.

There has been a long and intense period of disinvestment in Lindsay Heights, and other central city neighborhoods, Adams noted. More than 30 percent of the properties in Lindsay Heights are owned by the city. “Our BID is located in a transforming community where real estate development is also very important, so while we promote and serve our property owners and our tenants … real estate development becomes a crucial part of our work,” she said.
Residents and businesses have expressed to the BID that creating an authentic neighborhood identity is important to them as well and “we’re moving in that direction,” Adams said.
“The identity that’s emerging is … stewardship for our environment” and also collaboration, she said. What does collaboration look like? “We answer each other’s calls and we say ‘yes’ (when we are asked to contribute.)”
Adams pointed to several redevelopment projects in which historic buildings have been restored, including the former Walter Schmidt Tavern, which now houses The Tandem restaurant and several offices and businesses including Fix Development, and the Innovations and Wellness Commons. The Commons comprises The Juice Kitchen, Outpost Learning and Event Center, the Milwaukee Center for Independence commercial kitchen and Fondy Food Center’s administrative offices.
Without an executive director since mid-2016, the BID decided to take some time to clearly define its priorities, goals and strategies. It is getting close to completing that process and then it will be ready to hire a director, said Joann Harris-Comodore, the BID’s vice president, who is also founder and CEO of Neu-Life Community Development Inc. and Residential Living Services Inc.
Last summer, the BID worked with the UWM School of Architecture and Urban Planning’s Community Design Solutions (CDS) design center during a two-day program that included architects, developers, lenders, city officials and community members. The group discussed and designed development ideas to revitalize the neighborhood and created the Lindsay Heights Charette Plan.
This year, UWM students also designed façade improvements and redevelopment ideas for a number of vacant and dilapidated storefronts on Fond du Lac and North avenues, said Sister Edna Lonergan, a BID board member and president of St. Ann Center for Intergenerational Care. The center opened at 2450 W. North Ave. in 2015. It is planning to add a community band shell and warm therapeutic pool in the near future.
“(The UWM students) worked on charette sites, façade enhancements and right-of-way landscaping. They identified three parcels to focus on for redevelopment and three additional buildings for façade enhancement,” suggesting uses including a coffee shop, health food store, café and bakery for specific sites, Lonergan said.
Lonergan is pleased that the people on the BID board are committed to building the neighborhood from within, she said. “It’s a really good neighborhood. Not unlike any other neighborhood, (residents) want all the same things: home ownership, good schools, good day care and job opportunities.”
The BID and St. Ann’s Center have hosted six business development workshops for residents in the 53206 ZIP code. The meetings are designed to provide resources and advice to people looking to start or expand their own businesses. Eighty people applied to attend the last incubator but the format only permits about 25 participants, Lonergan said. With the city and LISC Milwaukee, the BID is also working to help entrepreneurs set up businesses in pop-up stores, she said.
To successful real estate developers like Kalan Haywood, founder of the Haywood Group, Business Improvement Districts and similar local business organizations can provide valuable insights into what area residents want. Such groups can also provide important data about a community.
BIDs are “helpful mainly because (they) allow the developer to get a true pulse of what’s going on, in real time, in that community,” which saves everyone’s time, Haywood said.
Haywood has purchased the Milwaukee Mall, formerly a Sears, Roebuck & Co. building at 2100 W. North Ave., and plans to redevelop the eight-acre property into a multi-use site that will include retail, office and housing, he said.
Ezzard White, a retired electrician and high school teacher who provides training to young people who want to learn skilled trades, joined the BID board two and a half years ago. He said he has seen a lot of change in his Lindsay Heights neighborhood.
Community residents are starting to spend money to invest in their homes and businesses because they are starting to see economic growth, he said. “You can see people believing in their community.”
White added, “If you want to know what the BID is doing, all you’ve got to do is take a ride up and down North Avenue.”
BID 32 will host a picnic, “Let’s Grow Together,” in Fondy Park, 2201-2299 W. Meinecke Ave. on Saturday, Aug. 4, 1-3 p.m. Free food and live music will be provided. Everyone is welcome.

"I think that these funds, these investor groups are looking at a cultural move away from your garden apartment with elevators, swimming pools, tennis courts and common areas," Ellenburg said. "Homeownership is looking less desirable to some, particularly in the affordable arena, and they have a chance, for very close to the same price, to rent a three-bedroom, two-bath or a four-bedroom, three-bath home and are able to call it their own."
Housing discrimination is prohibited by the Fair Housing Act. Discrimination covered by the Act can take many different forms beyond just raising prices or lying about availability. For example, the Act addresses wheelchair access in some newer properties. Learn what the Fair Housing Act covers, how to complain, and how the investigation process works.
"We recently entered an agreement with one of our long-standing third-party relationships to build homes that will be purchased by that third-party in a stand-alone rental community," Lennar President Rick Beckwitt said on the company's earnings call. "This community is in Florida and is the first in what we believe will be an ongoing business strategy and relationship where we build and sell homes in bulk on land owned by third parties with no lease-up risk."
"It's viewed as an ancillary income stream. We see this as more and more renters may prefer to raise a family or live in a single-family home versus an apartment complex or community or building. And so it is part of our Apartment Living group," Toll Brothers CEO Douglas Yearley said on the company's second quarter earnings conference call last month.
This week a small Tampa, Florida-based builder, ERC Homebuilders, is launching a "soft" IPO, hoping to raise $100 million to build more than 1,000 rental homes across the state.

Building Adhesives appoints David Hackett as general manager
Published: 04 November, 2016
Building Adhesives has recently appointed David Hackett as general manager.
Formerly sales and marketing director, Mr Hackett now takes full responsibility for the day-to-day running of the business.
As a founding pioneer of tile installation systems in the UK market, the significance of this heritage remains a key driver for the BAL and Dunlop businesses.
Mr Hackett said: “The market leadership that Building Adhesives enjoys is due to great people, innovative products and a fantastic customer base throughout the UK, all of which are continually evolving to suit the challenges of the day.”
The role of sales and marketing director will remain under Mr Hackett’s control to continue an active day-to-day involvement in the customer facing side of the business. Peter Bell will remain managing director of the ARDEX Group UK businesses.
Commenting on the appointment, Mr Bell said: “Brexit clearly makes for uncertain times, but the fundamentals remain strong in the UK. I’m sure the high degree of focus from David as general manager will continue to put Building Adhesives in a strong position to meet the needs of the market.”

HOW THE STUPID GET THEMSELVES MAIMED OR KILLED, part 3:
from CLH:
“Is it genetic or environmental? Or both?
The saga of the snake:
Last night Shadow [dog] was barking up a storm out by the back door, and it was really annoying. So I went back there to get her inside. Opened the door and called. She wouldn’t come in at first, then made a wide circle around the steps to the wall and slid inside. By then I’d realized what the problem was – a cute little snake curled(?) up on the step. It seemed to have a dark body with light bands. Both dogs were now inside so I closed the dog door, shut them out of the back hall and went for my camera, curious as to just what sort of snake it was.
Here’s where it gets downright Darwinian. Your balance-challenged, hyper-reflexive mother, camera in hand, set out to negotiate back porch steps that were illuminated only by a porch light obstructed by the open door. Started having suspicions when that little snake half-struck at me as I stepped over it. There I was, one foot on the concrete step about two feet from the snake, the other foot on the ground, not feeling all that steady. Took a few moments to center myself so I could get both feet out into the yard so I could crouch to take pictures. That was when I saw that the light bands were a more pronounced pattern. Really getting suspicious now.
After the photo session I climbed back up onto the porch and looked down on the little fellow, who was vigorously shaking his tail at me. Because this photo makes him look huge and ferocious I have to give the whole episode some scale. Coiled up, that little snake was about the size of my hand. Its body was a smidge bigger in diameter than my thumb. Wasn’t until I was back inside and downloaded the pictures that I realized for sure that I had been dealing with a beautiful baby diamondback. And he wasn’t just curled up on the warm concrete, he was mad. If that baby tail had had more than one rattle on it, he would have been making noise.”

CLH: Glad you are OK, but is is a GREAT photo. Though the snake was a youngin’, you still have to be really careful. They have the same venom, and herpetologists have DIED by being bitten by a baby snake and not realizing how serious the bite was. SEE: Joe Slowinski and the mis-ID’d baby krait.
Perhaps it was seeking Cathy, its play-buddy?
Or collecting data on how high the Hamilton family jumps?
Betty: I’ve told Cathy she has to stop letting animals follow her home . . .
Mark: Believe me, I spent a lot of sleepless time that night realizing what could have gone wrong, and there was a lot to realize. I’ve been told that babies are even worse than grownup rattlers because they haven’t learned to modulate their venom pumping yet. He was handsome, though.
Beautiful snake. AND fully photo documented. The other problem with young snakes is that the puncture wound from the fangs may be so small that it cannot be detected, and therefore is ignored. I am going to be taking my birding class to a “den” of rattlers in the Berkshires in a few weeks, but we will be fully prepared and wearing boots et. What’s next? A cougar in your kitchen?
Somewhere on my hard drive I have one man’s too brief account of a lifetime spent tracking cougars and killing the ones that started attacking people. It’s one of the best pieces of journalism I’ve ever read, and I’m saving the best parts so I can rework them into a story someday, but the intelligence (burying the carcasses of victims, constantly doubling back on itself as it moves to avoid being tracked) and speed of the cougar were beyond belief.
The narrator found a woman who had been eaten alive by a cougar and half-buried before he got to her. I can’t remember the description of her injuries, but they were terrible. “I’m dying,” was all she said, and she was gone.
The central moment of the story is when the narrator is himself attacked. He sees a cougar at the edge of some trees and he backs away from it toward his car, a dozen yards or more. Gets his keys out still looking at it. In the moment it takes him to turn and put the keys in the lock, the cougar closes the distance, and he feels what he describes as a baseball bat swung full-force to the back of his neck. Its teeth are in his neck and shoulder and it begins shaking him, just like a dog would, to try and break his neck. I can’t exactly remember what he said he thought then (probably an “I’m done for” rather than the more romantic “my race is run” or similar), but he was absolutely certain that he would die. He didn’t.
funny – when the earthquake hit in LA, my first thought: “It sounds like a large animal has just landed on the roof – could it possibly be a cougar?”
I have no idea why I thought that.
There was a woman I met years ago, Jenny Fyfield, who spent some time trying to document that cougars were still extant in Massachusetts. There have been persistant visual reports for many decades, especially from the Quabbin area, but initially they were treated like sightings of the Mothman. Now, people are not so sure and alleged pug marks et have been found. The question is whether they are wild, or someone’s escaped “pet”. Some years ago we found an odd deer kill at Quabbin that she looked at and it ended up having all the earmarks of a cougar kill, as opposed to a bobcat or coyote kill. It is amazing to me how really large wild mammals can live in the small state of Massachusetts and not be seen. MOOSE, considered really rare and accidental and extralimital 20 years ago, have now established a viable population here, and if you get up early from Quabbin to the Berks in the right spots, you have a good chance of seeing one. Moose tracks and scat are now a common find. FISHERS, formerly considered a “wilderness” species, have moved into more urban areas all the way to Boston, including Broad Meadow Brook here in the city, where they subsist on pet cats and dogs. I just found out Fish and Wildlife shot a WOLF last year, though in that case I have to believe it was an escaped pet.
Jesse: I confess I am ambivalent about shooting cougars who have developed a taste for humans. We could use more culling than they do. I have an ever-growing list of potential cougar bait as I write this.
MARK: I agree. I’m definitely from the Edward Abbey school of thought. 2 favorite points (completely as I see them and not as he wrote them):
* humans need to possess a much larger set of capabilities (hunting with bow and arrow, navigating by the stars, glissading down a glacier) than most of us currently possess
* these capabilities should allow us to exist in nature without permanently altering it (hiking out to the Grand Canyon instead of driving your car up to a parking lot on the edge)
Jesse: Laudable points, yes, but I am just thinking of an ever growing list of folks that, well, to be honest, I don’t think I would mind quite so much if they were devoured by a cougar. Slowly if possible with maximum crunching of bones and smacking of feline lips. You may have your own list. I may be just a teetch cranky cuz the (exterior) house painters are here and there is no quiet, privacy et. and I cannot read and write and I have deadlines et. I am getting edgy. There is an old book, DANGEROUS TO MAN, that I read as a kid that had reports of people being devoured by giant land crabs in the Pacific and I remember the author stating that perhaps the worst fate of all would be devoured slowly by some huge jellyfish, if that could be arranged. For the Catherine list of “How the Stupid Get into Trouble”, there is, of course , the sole idiot that managed to get pricked by the spur on the foot of a Platypus and died, the only case of “death by monotreme” I think on record. BTW: Catherine, your mother does NOT belong under that heading! Shame on you!
“What’s next? A cougar in your kitchen?”
With the dog door anything’s possible but a skunk or raccoon is more likely, or a coyote. Cougars have been sighted at JPL (about 5 miles west of here, where I worked for many years), some on the wilderness edge and at least one quite far down rooting in the dumpsters. Gave the night-shift flight ops folks some pause . . .
“BTW: Catherine, your mother does NOT belong under that heading! Shame on you!”
Ah, Mark, if you only knew the bounds of my S T O O P I D I T Y that night. I, not Cathy, was the one who put me on the list.
Mark: Speaking of lists, can I add some names to your jellyfish-devouring one?
This has been bothering me for quite a while. Maybe primatologists can help. There was a Ancient Roman punishment (usually for parricide) that involved being drowned in a leather sack with a rooster, a wild dog, a snake, and a monkey. I can understand the wild dog (painful biting) and the snake (painful biting, plus poison), but why the other two? Any ideas?
MARK: I don’t think I know that one, but as a kid I was scared by pictures of giant clams closing on ankles (in reality, next to impossible) and terrified by lion’s mane jellyfish and (even worse, for various reasons including size, color, and the eerie strangeness of the name) the Portugese man-of-war. There was even a book of illustrated puns (I think) that showed the undertow as a disembodied subaqueous foot that would grab you and pull you under. I hated that one.
CLH: Do you have SPOTTED SKUNKS or STRIPED SKUNKS? I believe both species are found in CA. One thing I have always wanted to see is when SPOTTED SKUNKS spray: they do a HANDSTAND! I have seen pictures, and it looks hilarious. Which for me would lead to an event that would likely later be filed under Catherine’s “When Stupid People Get Maimed or Killed..or Sprayed”. I think I would be so fascinated by a skunk walking towards me on its fore paws, tail in the air, I would likely get nailed. To make matters worse, I have a soft spot for all of the mustelid clan, skunks, weasels, otters, wolverines and have been known to feed the skunks in our own backyard. They love cheese! There must be lots of wildlife at JPL: anyplace with that much space is bound to attract all sorts of stuff.
Striped skunks -they’re pretty funny too while spraying, front feet stamping and rear in the air.
It’s probably the deer that draw in the cougars to JPL. At dusk they (the deer) wander at will between the cars in all the parking lots. There’s even a ‘deer crossing’ sign on the main road into the Lab. To my knowledge they’ve never sighted a bear though.
Jesse:
Roosters (a la cockfights) have mean spurs and know how to use them. Wouldn’t want to share a sack with one. As for the monkeys – razor sharp canines make for painful bites. Grasping hands mean you can’t get away. All four critters in the same sack seem overkill to me. One would think they’d do as much damage to each other as to the poor executee, but then that might be the point – draw out the proceedings as much as possible.
The belt sanders have stopped on the front door and windows, so it no longer sounds like I am inside a mouth having a root canal. Whew!
JESSE: It’s amazing, but several 40s.50s “jungle movies” and even the old TV series “Jungle Jim” featured people getting thier legs trapped in Giant Clams. Those images have stayed with me all my life. I finally got to snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef and saw what I believe were Giant Clams (they were (1) clams; (2)they were indeed GIANT and (3) had that great ripply lip going on the two shells). You would have to be President For (YOUR SHORT) Life of Catherine’s STUPID, MAIMED, KILLED CLUB to find a way to get your foot in there. But now that I think of it, I have seen shorebirds in terrible distress with one of thier feet locked tight inside various bivalves and there are several well-documented cases of mollusk-eating waterfowl like scoters and eiders dying because a clam or mussel has clamped on thier tongue and not let go. Yeow!!! DEATH BY BIVALVE!! Of course I am sure all of us have at one point eaten “bad clams” and that certainly has felt like “DEATH BY CLAMS”. I swore off after my last bout decades ago and have never gone back unless the clams are in a mixed dish like zarzuela.
CLH: The “Death By Jellyfish” list. Heh-heh-heh. Yes, I am sure we ALL have such a list, and are “checking it twice”. Care to make any of your list public?
Jesse: it’s the wierd unsubstantial jelatinous textural nature of jellyfish that make them so distressing to so many. SEE: Barbara Hurd’s essay on jellyfish in her latest wonderful collection of short pieces WALKING THE WRACK LINE.
CLH: Skunks stamping feet. Now according to sources, the SPOTTED SKUNKS also stamp their feet WHILE DOING THE HANDSTAND!!! How can that possibly work????
Jesse: RE: The Ancient Roman sack o’ chaos:
1. Sounds like the beginning of some bad ancient joke: “so, Plautus, this rooster, this snake, a dog AND a monkey walk into the forum. The senator says: quick jump in this bag, here comes Apicus!…” you finish the rest.
2. It actually sounds like everything is supposed to be chasing and biting everything else and the human is caught in the middle: the snake bites the rooster, the rooster pecks the monkey, the monkey pulls the dog’s tail, EVERYONE get’s PO’d and wails on the human. Piggy won’t go over the style, and I shan’t get home tonight.
3. But most likely, it’s all symbolic. Roosters were omenic creatures (see ornithomancy); snakes were Cthonic symbols; et et.
4. “the monkey thought it was all in fun…” POP
cool – more community blogging:
posted a lovely photo of a gray tree frog (not a death-by-sack species) from betty:

Kids, kids –
Have you HEARD this? The new album from Brian Wilson. “Good Kind Of Love” sealed it. Ringing plangent chords shot through with a new and realest, most unselfconscious swing. Heart’s ease. I’m exquisitely happy.
There are engines of healing ancient since the world began, and one of them, Brian Wilson, that Californian, in the fourth decade of his career, in the two thousand eighth year of the common era, is giving us some of his best.
And the sack-animals posts are great! Thanks!
So you’re a Brian Wilson freak? THAT explains a LOT!
Mark, only in his bathrobe to run to the shower
Betty: RE: Treefrog photo. The frog appears really pale and seems to lack the lichenate patterning I am used to in Gray Treefrogs round these parts. Is this a function of lighting? I know they can also do some color changing, is that why? Regional variation? No chance it’s a Canyon, right? (doesn’t look like it).
RE: Jesse: Oh, a Brian Wilson fanatic, eh? THAT explains a LOT.
Mark, who likes his bathrobe too, but can’t play the theremin. But these guys can:
Birding in Dis. This is where we went this past weekend:
[photo]
Birding with Mephistopheles is one huge drag. But he’s got a great life list.
Hero and major influence on me.
theramin good.
fires of hell bad.
Found this on Gawker. As they thoughtfully point out, it is an ad for an Australian newspaper, and “it’s too bad that it also reinforces the fact that video is way more exciting than print.” We discuss the print-vs.-everything-else-media issue ad nauseam over here, but this paper seems to be sinking its own ship:
Too bad that “dis” is vernacular now. “Dis” is one of the great evocative names: it sounds like hail falling on scarred metal.
God, that was one big celebration of the end of luddite print culture. Thought problem: OK, write a description of what you just saw. How long would it take to read that? What would it be like to listen to that reading?
This is a case where the ad “looked cool” with a nice Phillip Glass-esque soundtrack, but no one thought several steps deeper than that, like “what are we actually saying?” It’s like no one there heard of the concept of “subtext”. But, hey, it’s OZ, our earthly simulacrum of the Bizarro World.
PS: forgot to mention, the photo of Satan’s Kingdom was by SHEILA, from her blog:
http://gremlinthecat.blogspot.com/
For Jesse:
Brian (sans robe) and theremin.
It was a gentler and simpler time.
Mark, “what’s this tiny piece of blotter paper with a picture of Mr. Natural on it? Put it under my tongue? OK”
Mark: It is a Gray Tree Frog. The patterning disappears in direct sunlight. I’ve sent Cathy two more photos from a sequence; when Frog is on the old board the “little man” on its back shows, then when Frog hopped onto the house siding in the sun the pattern was not visible. These photos, and many more, were taken in Cathy’s dad’s backyard in College Station, TX. These critters hang out under the lids of the 35 gal garbage cans Chuck uses to collect rainwater. Sometimes there are Green Tree Frogs, too. Canyon Tree Frog is a desert species, WAY out-of-range to the west of here.
Great photos. I have uploaded them to my flickr page so y’all can see them:

In keeping with one of the threads here, it was most amusing to find an article about the venomous Texas snakes on the Outdoors page of our local newspaper today. Quoting, in part, “I have an aunt who lives in a rural area on the outskirts of Abilene. I call it rattlesnake central….On more than one occasion she has found western diamondbacks stretched across her kitchen floor.”
CLH, Beware!
Betty: Excellent photos, but they do seem to be showing that the frog has changed color. From the Wikipedia site and many others:
“As their species name Hyla versicolor implies, gray tree frogs are highly variable in color. In their natural habitat, possible colors include gray, yellow, brown and green. The degree of mottling also varies. They can change from nearly black to nearly white. They change colors more slowly than a chameleon. Dead gray tree frogs and ones in unnatural surroundings are predominantly gray in color.” It looks like the frog has become gray because it is on an unnatural background. My recollection of having them as pets (they are common here) is that they were often this color when first put into captivity.
Are their vocalizations in Texas the same as in the northeast?
MARK: The “pocket symphony” is unbeatable, but wow, that first song was amazing. Somewhere between Brian Wilson and John Frusciante.
CATHY: I know it’s weird, but that video makes me more anxious than excited. Long explanation here about distrusting photography more than a little and video more still. Especially in the historiographical context!
Quiz Question. Category: Non-Fiction Film. Difficulty level: high. “Name a well-known documentary that features ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice’ in the closing credits.”
SHAMPOO? It seemed like a documentary to me.
Roger Corman and Me?
Theremin – I WANT one!
Theremin: the first time I heard the word, I thought it was an over the counter flu med.

About NRNR
Home Tourism
To ensure the long-term sustainable existence of the Reserve, funds are needed. Since 1994, exclusive safaris are being offered to nature lovers from different parts of the world, placing as little impact as possible on the environment. Guests are encouraged to admire the uniqueness of the Reserve, accompanied by trained rangers and field-guides, on foot, by cross-country vehicle or from the sky in a hot-air balloon.
Wolwdans Dunes Lodge
The NamibRand Nature Reserve in Namibia has been proclaimed as Africa's first International Dark Sky Reserve (IDSR), which means that it is one of the best places on earth to star-gaze.
Guest sometimes have the opportunity to view rare wildlife species such as the elusive leopard.
The rules of the Reserve prescribe that the total number of guest-beds in the Reserve is restricted to one bed per 1000 hectare and a limit of 25 guest-beds in any one location. Presently there are five concessionaires conducting tourism operations in the Reserve. These tourism operators collect a daily park fee from guests on behalf of the Reserve.
All of these concessionaires make every effort to co-operate with one another so as not to interfere with each other's activities, such as drives, hikes, utilisation of tracks and care of the environment. They are also bound by their concession agreements to respect and maintain the natural resources of this pristine area, in terms of game viewing, driving rules, type of structures erected, water utilisation, volumes of tourists allowed, planting of trees and refuse removal, amongst many other factors.
Tourism concessions on the NamibRand Nature Reserve contributing park fees include exclusive accommodation establishments and activity orientated products such as hot-air ballooning and walking trails. We believe that each concessionaire has a unique product to offer, suiting the needs, wishes and pocket of every kind of tourist:
In the North of the Reserve, Kwessie Dunes Lodge, operated by Natural Selection Safaris, you’ll find 12 cool and comfortable (and air-conditioned) chalets all with canvas walls and thatched roofs.
In the heart of NamibRand, the Wolwedans Collection, run by NamibRand Safaris offers a variety of lodges and camps. Guests are provided with a classical safari experience close to nature, in comfort and style, at the tented Dune Camp, the Dunes Lodge, the Private Camp or the Boulders Camp.
The Family Hideout, an old farmhouse in the South of the Reserve, provides self-catering accommodation. The Family Hideout also offers three upmarket and unique campsites, far apart from each other, set in the dunes, named Orion, Venus and Jupiter (disabled-friendly).
Tok-Tokkie Trails, operated by Unlimited Travel & Car Hire cc, offers guided walks in the dunes and mountain ranges of NamibRand.
Hot-air ballooning, operated by Namib Sky Adventures, is a unique activity offered to guest who are accommodated at any of the surrounding lodges.
The Reserve also hosts NaDEET Centre, a non-profit environmental education centre for Namibians to learn about sustainability and experience the Reserve.
Dark Sky Reserve
At Kwessie Dunes Lodge , each bedroom has a separate ‘star gazer’ room, completely open to the sky, and the perfect spot from which to watch the celestial theatre show above.
Guides from the Wolwedans Collection and Tok-Tokkie Trails are trained in aspects of astronomy and spend time with guests sharing stories about the constellations, as well as unbelievable views of the moon and planets such as Jupiter or Saturn.
Namib Desert Environmental Education Trust (NaDEET) is the educational core for the NamibRand Nature Reserve International Dark Sky Reserve. They impart the importance of preserving the dark sky to close to 1000 visiting Namibian schoolchildren per year.

Efforts continue for the creation of the government
By Naser Pajaziti / 07/02/2017 / Comments Off on Efforts continue for the creation of the government
The largest opposition party SDSM (Macedonian Social Democratic Union) is expected to hold talks today with BDI (Democratic Union for Integration) for the creation of the government.
These two parties have launched talks yesterday, as SDSM has expressed its readiness to secure the necessary seats to form the government. Last week, president of the country, George Ivanov said that he will mandate that party leader who secures 61 seats to form the government.
“These meetings and discussions will continue. There will be discussions in both parties, but we think that both parties want Macedonia to solve this crisis and have a government as soon as possible”, said the vice chair of SDSM, Radmila Sekerinska.
The vice chair of BDI, Teuta Arifi said that her party has a clear agenda to talk to other parties for the creation of the government.
“In the table of talks, we have our priorities that relate to the platform of the Albanian political parties and BDI’s non-negotiable points: the making the Albanian language an official language throughout the entire territory of the country, deliver all the reforms in justice and integrate the country in the NATO and EU”, Arifi declared.
The talks are being held on a level of parties’ vice chairs, while last night, SDSM and BDI have discussed on the possibility of forming a coalition and the joint government agreement.
SDSM with 49 seats and BDI with 10 seats cannot form a government on their own. They also need another of the Albanian parties such as Besa Movement with 5 seats or Alliance for Albanians with 3 seats.
In an interview for IBNA, leader of Alliance for Albanians, Ziadin Sela declared that he would accept to be in a coalition with SDSM if this party accepts the platform signed by the Albanian parties, which makes Albanian an official language in the entire territory and other issues which relate to the advancement of the rights of Albanians in FYROM.
According to him, the agreement can only be signed if the laws are approved before the creation of the government.
While talks are being held in the country for the creation of the government, the EU Enlargement Commissioner, Johannes Hahn is expected to arrive in Skopje on Thursday. Hahn is expected to meet with all the sides involved in the current situation. /balkaneu.com/

Raiders official salary cap space: $64.667 million
Sunday, March 2, 2014 - 12:15pm
Follow @BairCSN
Programming note: For all the day’s sports news, tune in to SportsNet Central tonight and every night at 6, 10:30 p.m. and midnight on Comcast SportsNet Bay Area
The 2014 NFL salary cap has been set at $133 million, a total significantly higher than most estimates.
That means the Raiders have even more money to spend. We all knew that. Exactly how much wasn’t clear until Sunday, when recent contracts were factored in. The Raiders now have $64.667 million in salary cap space heading into the start of the new league year, according to NFLPA documents and additional sources. That is by far the most in the NFL.
[RELATED: Woodson contract talks with Raiders hit a snag]
This number includes a 1-year contract signed by offensive lineman Khalif Barnes on Friday.
Documents show the Raiders as having $61.275 million in cap spending for 2014 and $9.311 million in dead money.
The Raiders had $2.432 million carryover from last year’s cap, which padded their cap number to the total mentioned above.
The team gained financial freedom after ridding themselves of bad contracts – with significant dead money as a necessary byproduct -- and signing new players to team-friendly, short-term deals over the past few years.
The team has money to spend but significant holes to fill. They have 17 players, including 10 starters, set to be unrestricted free agents on March 11. A few in that group, including tackle Jared Veldheer and defensive end Lamarr Houston, are expected to demand significant raises if they’re re-signed.
The Raiders also plan to upgrade at several positions in order to compete in a talented AFC West.

Nelson Alfaro Law – Miami & Bogota
The Power of Negotiation
Our professional multidisciplinary team and associate firms, permit us to offer coordinated and comprehensive advise to each client in criminal, economical and immigration matters.
Our professional independence allows us to work with other law firms and consultants in a coordinated manner.
Below we offer you a step by step guide of the process of negotiation, with the ultimate goal of reducing sentences and freedom. Negotiation is key for any person facing extradition and sentencing, this is an area where Mr. Nelson Alfaro excels and succeeds.
Why negotiate
When a Defendant faces a criminal charge, sometimes there's only one goal which is to minimize the possible sanction. The negotiation is by far the best way to avoid a long jail term and other sanctions. Besides, going to trial is risky as it's impossible to predict the jury's verdict, as a consequence many defendants choose to enter a plea bargain with the Prosecutor.
What is the negotiation?
A plea bargain is an agreement between the Prosecutor and the Defendant. By means of the attorney, the Prosecutor provides the Defendant the opportunity to declare guilty in exchange for a lesser sentence to the original charge. In its war against international drug trafficking, the U.S. government and prosecutors will always strive to impose the maximum possible sentences as exemplary.
There are many factors which determine the possible outcome of a plea bargain. It is precisely in the negotiation where Mr Alfaro excels and exceeds the expectations of his clients, achieving important reductions in cases with more than 30 years sentence.
How does the negotiation benefit you?
For the Defendant, the most significant benefit of the plea bargain is to leave behind the uncertainties of a criminal proceeding and avoid the maximum sentence which can vary between a sentence of 40 years and life imprisonment. In fact, voluntary submission opens the possibility of receiving a sentence of around 10 years.
What occurs when an agreement is reached?

First McDonald's in the USSR, 1990
The Fast Food Phenomenon: Russia’s Other Booming Market
In 1990 fast food exploded on the Russian market in one of the Cold War’s most memorable dying images. Today, the industry is one of Russia’s “healthiest” – experiencing steady growth from both foreign and domestic investment, perhaps despite the challenges the Russian market offers.
One of Teremok’s popular blini stands in Moscow.
The first western arrivals were Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, and Baskin Robbins. McDonald’s is today the market leader, with an impressive 80+ percent of the total market, achieved by the early, substantial, and continual investment by the parent company. Most brands rely on franchising, and thus have grown slower. The burger giant now operates in more than a dozen Russian cities and has ambitious plans to open a restaurant at every Moscow metro stop, which are perhaps ten minutes walk apart. The McComplex, a massive factory opened during the financial crisis of the 90’s to ensure both quality and quantity of supply, has also been invaluable to growth. The factory provides everything from patties to pies to even laundry facilities for uniforms. Although the business policy of increased volume has faltered in America, it is still working well in Russia. With 10 times the service capacity of its average competitor, the restaurant is booming in the still under-served market.
“Little Spuds” – A Kartoshka Stand.
Baskin Robbins is one of Russia’s largest franchises. Combining the allure of a western brand name and the quality assurance of a local factory with the traditional Russian passion for ice-cream (street kiosks for ice-cream operate even in winter) has been a perfect recipe. Other franchises such as Pizza Hut, its sister company KFC, Sbarro’s, and Subway all have smaller presences and have faced more problems in the market. KFC closed a franchise on the heavily trafficked Arbat after the store “failed to meet quality standards.” Subway experienced a major setback after it unwittingly became involved in a Mafia dispute over a St. Petersburg location. Also, the largely undefined nature of franchising within Russian law is problematic. Franchises must register with the government twice, once as a business as once as a patent-sharer, and are not seen as financially independent from the parent company. This, combined with the new scarcity of suitable real estate, has led to a recent tapering of foreign investment and new brand names.
A Teremok Blini – popular fast food.
Another problem for western brands has been the successes of Russian competitors. Opening a Russian franchise costs half of what a western franchise does, with name recognition being nearly equal. Georgian chains like the buffet-style Moo-Moo and the salad bar based Yolki-Polki have funny names and growing pocketbooks. Both capitalize on Russian nationalism, offering tasty traditional dishes in pseudo-traditional atmospheres of rustic wood, vine overhangs, and costumed servers. Other, more non-traditional options have also succeeded. Rostik’s (Russia’s KFC) has become a market leader in drive-through restaurants. The company now has a deal with KMB Bank to open two-year credit lines for new franchises, poising it for substantial growth.
Furthermore, most Russian fast food locations are, quite literally, based on the streets of Moscow in the form of kiosks. The largest chains are Kroshka-Kartoshka (stuffed baked potatoes) Russkoe Blini (filled Russian pancakes) and Stop Top (hot dogs). Collectively, no-name kiosks selling roast chicken and shawrma meat rank second in popularity (following only McDonald’s) despite the infamous poor quality of their raw materials and sanitation. To combat the food-poisoning deaths, Moscow passed a law that would have shut down any food-service establishment without water and sewage (which no Russian kiosk possesses) in 2002. This law has apparently been ignored or amended, however, as kiosks are still a-plenty in Moscow (although employees can be seen washing their hands from a bottle).
Moscow’s fast food market is estimated at between $400-700 million per year, with per annum growth of perhaps 20 percent. The market is far from saturated and, despite problems, will likely continue to expand steadily over the next several years. Working in the market’s favor are, first, the rapid expansion of shopping malls in Russia, which are creating new real estate for fast food and, second, Russia’s broad-based, young, not-so-picky clientele. According to recent market research, half of men and women between 16-50 buy fast food at least once a week. Most of this clientele considers location (64%) and cost (54%) most important, while fewer regard quality (43%) and cleanliness (25%) as important factors. This means that rapid expansion, even with cut corners, will likely be rewarded.
Above all, history will recall fast food in Russia as an image of the dead Cold War. McDonald’s, of course, turned their arrival to the market into a PR coup, broadcasting on morning shows across the US the lines of shapka-toped patrons waiting in line for their taste of capitalism’s victory. In 1997, Pizza Hut aired a commercial featuring Mikhail Gorbachav addressing a crowd praising pizza and freedom. But whatever its theoretical implications, fast food will be fast growing in Russia for several more years.

$2 And Counting: Gas Prices Continue Upward, Says Auto Club
January 22, 2009 Weekly Fuel Prices Report, Gas Prices
(LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23, 2009) - It wasn't another week of double-digit increases, but gas prices still went up by about a penny a day in many local markets over the last week, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California's Weekend Gas Watch.
The average price of self-serve regular gasoline in the Los Angeles-Long Beach area is $2.062 per gallon, which is 7.3 cents more than last week, 29 cents higher than last month, and $1.14 under last year. In San Diego, the price is $2.082, which is 4.5 cents more than last week's price, 29 cents above last month, and $1.12 lower than last year. On the Central Coast, the average price is $2.143, up 6.7 cents from last week, 27 cents up from last month, and $1.16 below last year. In the Inland Empire, the average per gallon price is $2.053, which is 6.4 cents over last week, 30 cents more than last month, and $1.13 less than last year.
"Southern California prices do normally rise at this time of year as refineries cut inventory, perform maintenance, and prepare to produce the 'summer blend' of gasoline that is required to improve the state's air quality," said Auto Club spokesperson Jeffrey Spring. "Since their low point nearly six weeks ago, gas price averages have risen by 34 to 38 cents in most local areas."
The Weekend Gas Watch monitors the average price of gasoline as of 2:56 a.m. on Jan. 23.

Super-sized ads overshadow the Bowl
By Chirag Patel
Photo courtesy of www.sodastreamusa.com
So it turns out the much-hyped Super Bowl match-up of the NFL’s best offense against its best defense ended up being as exciting as watching paint dry (unless you’re a Seahawks fan). But the American tradition has taken on a life of its own, becoming just as much a consumer showcase as it is a professional sporting event. And the numbers certainly don’t lie: Neilson reports that the same-day viewership of this year’s Super Bowl raked in an average audience of 111.5 million viewers, with 5.6 million people in the U.S. sending 25.3 million tweets over the course of the entire game. FOX, which broadcast the game, said this year’s Super Bowl brought in more viewers “than any television program in U.S. history.” Now that’s saying something. And perhaps this justifies the staggering amount of money that corporations shelled out to be featured during the coveted game breaks.
Forbes has reported that ad time during the Super Bowl cost on average $4 million for a 30-second spot. When you factor in the additional millions it costs to produce each 30-second commercial … well, you get the idea. With so much money on the line, you can bet that creative teams in ad agencies across the country have been frantically trying to convince CEO’s that their sexy, funny, outlandish, silly or touching commercial idea is worth the price tag of admittance, and with the everyday John Smith talking as much about the big game as they are about what they are excited to see in between, these big corporations are sure to be sure before they sign those hefty checks.
So how did these corporations do with their precious time last Sunday? Let’s take a look at some of the most popular, most talked about and more controversial ads showcased during Super Bowl 2014.
First up is an interesting ad by SodaStream, a make-it-yourself soda pop alternative to the big guns in the game, Pepsi and Coca-Cola. What’s interesting about this ad isn’t the fact that it featured Scarlett Johansson (I wonder what her day rate for endorsements is?), but the fact that the creatives who wrote it were foolish enough to make such a rookie mistake in their script by having Johansson call out SodaStream’s competition by name in the commercial. This is a big time no-no, and FOX originally refused to air the commercial for breaking a tried-and-true rule of the ad game. When you are paying an A-list actress to endorse a product in a commercial that costs so much money, and are forced to spend more money to re-edit it days before it’s set to air due to an oversight, that’s just wrong. And when the story of your mistake becomes more talked about than your actual product, that’s just money wasted.
Sticking to the soda game, Coca-Cola had what was in my opinion a bold and touching ad that seemed to try to tap into the beauty of our multi-cultural country. Unfortunately, it created a social media backlash that might leave some ashamed to call themselves American. The ad in question portrayed a number of ethnicities enjoying Coca-Cola, with a rendition of “America the Beautiful” sung in multiple languages. Social media outlets exploded with thousands of comments, many of them too inappropriate to publish here, but following the train of thought that American’s only speak English in this country, and that “immigrant terrorists” have no right to sing “America the Beautiful.” For shame, America. For shame.
Then there were the commercials that pulled on viewers’ heartstrings amid their yells at Peyton Manning to do something, or anything really. Honda asked us to embrace our loved ones for a moment in their “hug someone” ad featuring Bruce Willis and Fred Armisen, and to take car safety as seriously as they supposedly do. Microsoft’s “empowering us all” ad gave a glimpse of how the company is working on new tech, allowing a boy to walk, a man to see and a woman to hear for the first time, among other things. It’s a touching bit of media that paints Microsoft in a different light, while indirectly poking fun at the hipster-dominated, I-need-a-new-iProduct-every-year commercials that Apple has become known for. And of course the Budweiser “puppy love” commercial, that made people “ohh” and “aww” at the friendship between a dog and a horse, and also somehow made us want to buy beer – I think?
Of course, this year also had its fair share of the more ridiculous commercial ideas. Bud Light had a great hidden camera prank-style ad featuring a random guy being swept up in a series of ever crazier events – including a pingpong match with Arnold Schwarzenegger and an elevator ride with Don Cheadle and a llama. A woman with a puppet quit her job on national TV for a reason I can’t remember. A 10 year-old girl tried to sell me a car I could never afford. Radio Shack poked fun at their irrelevance among today’s youth with a commercial packed with 80s stars right before the company announced they would be closing 500 stores across the nation. David Beckham ran around in his underwear, Steven Colbert made me crave pistachios and I recall a dog with a giant head at one moment.
Super Bowl 2014 may have disappointed in its initial promise of a great match-up of the leagues’ best teams, but the nation may take solace in the fact that the big game has come to offer so much more: unfiltered American consumerism at its best. Now if you will excuse me, I seem inclined to go buy some Doritos and Old Spice deodorant.

UN Report on maternal health flawed... | Abortion legalization also shown not to reduce maternal deaths
Quotation by Marc Aupiais
UN Maternal health research flawed | UN organizations mismanage resources- report
Critics have slammed a UN report on maternal deaths for not revealing its sources, and thus not being verifiable. They have also raised concerns that UN agencies' efforts at promoting abortionist special interest agendas in countries with high maternal deaths do not aid maternal health, citing studies in multiple countries, and noting low maternal death rates in nations where abortion in illegal. Pregnant women are more likely to be murdered by relatives or lovers than at any other stage of life, according to statistics collected based on the Population in the United States.
C-Fam, an organization which focusses on the politics of the United Nations reports on the lack of transparency alleged of the UN reports on Maternal Health, and on the criticism that the UN organizations often focus on promoting abortionist special interests, at a cost to general women's health and education.
"The new maternal health report endorses a UN strategy that recommends “safe” abortion services and family planning alongside antenatal care and skilled attendants at birth. That strategy was based on previous UN reports that said 536,000 women died yearly from pregnancy-related causes, 78,000 from illegal abortion. The new report slashes the total to 358,000 and did not offer any data regarding abortion.
“This is specious,” Duke University’s Dr. Monique Chireau said. “There were no data collected on deaths from abortion. We can’t even get good data on maternal deaths.”
The report says that only 63 of 173 countries studied had complete records on a cause of death. Twenty-four had no records at all.
Critics say the UN issued the report because of a recent independent study that showed previous UN data suspect and its research methods flawed. That independent study found that better education, economics, and healthcare, along with lower fertility rates, led to better maternal health. It did not mention abortion or family planning.
At a conference in June, International Planned Parenthood’s Sharon Camp asked one of the authors of the independent study if abortion and family planning contributed to lower maternal deaths. The author, Dr. Christopher Murray, replied that it would be hard to find evidence to support that belief.
While the most recent UN report found the same lower number of maternal deaths as the independent study, its research methods remain murky. While the UN report includes a comparison of study methods, Chireau said it leaves readers more confused about the UN's approach. “They talk about process. What process? Where are the additional data sets?”
A former UN reproductive health official said promoting abortion services stems from a belief by most UN staff that legalizing abortion makes it safer and does not increase its incidence. Dr. Guiseppe Benagiano, formerly of the World Health Organization, acknowledged that abortion rates have increased after legalization in a number of countries.
Complete data is available for countries where abortion is illegal and maternal deaths low, such as Chile, Ireland, Malta, and Poland. Pro-life analysts say the research links tighter abortion laws with better maternal health. The new UN report, meanwhile, shows maternal deaths are higher than previously estimated in India, where abortion is legal and widespread.
Sixty-five percent of all maternal deaths occur in 11 countries, including India, according to the report. Three states with the highest rates of maternal death rates are torn by war or suffer from failed governments.
While it does not offer an evidentiary link, the new UN report says that higher contraceptive prevalence “may have contributed to improved outcomes.” Chireau called that misleading because a decrease in HIVAIDS-related deaths is a big factor behind lower maternal deaths in sub-Saharan Africa.
The UN report puts HIVAIDS-related maternal deaths at 21,000, one-third the number found by the independent researchers. It acknowledges that the figure was “difficult to estimate directly from available study data.”"

Hong Kong extradition protests leaves city in shock
Media captionPolice use tear gas on protesters
Authorities have shut some government offices in Hong Kong’s financial district after the worst violence the city has seen in decades.
By Thursday morning the crowds had largely dispersed around government headquarters – where police and protesters had pitched battles on Wednesday.
The protesters are angry about plans to allow extradition to mainland China.
Despite the widespread opposition, the government has not backed down.
However, Hong Kong’s Legislative Council (LegCo) delayed a second reading of the controversial extradition bill and it is unclear when it will take place.
How did the violence unfold?
The second reading, or debate over the extradition bill was originally scheduled for Wednesday.
In an attempt to prevent lawmakers from participating in the debate, activists in the tens of thousands blockaded key streets around the government headquarters in central Hong Kong. Police were also out in riot gear.
Later the tensions boiled over as protesters tried to storm key government buildings demanding the bill be scrapped.

Police responded by firing tear gas and rubber bullets to block them and get them to disperse. After hours of chaos, the crowd eventually dissipated overnight.
Rights group Human Rights Watch accused the police of using “excessive force” against protesters.
Seventy-two people aged between 15 and 66 were injured in the violence, including two men who were in critical condition.
After the violence on Wednesday, Ms Lam, in a tearful interview, called the protests “organised riots”, and dismissed accusations that she had “sold out” Hong Kong.
Only a handful of protesters remained in the central business district in the city on Thursday morning, though some roads and a downtown shopping mall still remain closed, said local broadcaster RTHK.
Hong Kong’s train operator, the MTR, said that Admiralty station – the station at the heart of the protest zone – would remain closed today following a police request.

There is still a strong police presence around the downtown areas of the city
What we learned about Hong Kong’s youth
By Martin Yip, BBC News Chinese, Hong Kong
The morning after the most violent protests Hong Kong has seen in decades, the scene outside the Legislative Council complex is quiet.
Debris is strewn about the roads – umbrellas, surgical masks – the aftermath of a serious confrontation.
Areas are still being cordoned off by police in riot gear, but there are no signs of protesters returning.
There is one elderly man shouting at police – he might seem like a lone voice, but anger against the police use of force is widespread.
As things stand, there is no fixed date for the reading of the extradition bill, although we’d expect that to happen next week.
Many members of the public, and the government, will feel a sense of shock.
They all learned something about Hong Kong’s youth: the strength of their feeling about Hong Kong’s political integrity is not to be underestimated.
They also showed they can get organised very quickly and they are willing take more radical measures than the generation that led the Occupy protests five years ago.
What is the extradition plan?
The government of Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam has proposed amendments to the extradition laws that would allow extradition requests from authorities in mainland China, Taiwan and Macau for suspects accused of criminal wrongdoing such as murder and rape.
The requests would be decided on a case-by-case basis.
The move came after a 19-year-old Hong Kong man allegedly murdered his 20-year-old pregnant girlfriend while they were holidaying in Taiwan together in February last year.
The man fled to Hong Kong and could not be extradited to Taiwan because the two do not have an extradition treaty.
Hong Kong has entered into extradition agreements with 20 countries, including the UK and the US, but an agreement with China has never been reached.
Why are people angry about it?
Hong Kong was a British colony from 1841 until sovereignty was returned to China in 1997.
It is now part of China under a “one country, two systems” principle, which ensures that it keeps its own judicial independence, its own legislature and economic system.
But people in Hong Kong are worried that should the extradition bill pass, it would bring Hong Kong more decisively under China’s control.
Demonstrators are worried about what the passing of the bill would mean for Hong Kong
“Hong Kong will just become another Chinese city if this bill is passed,” one 18-year-old protester told the BBC.
Most people in Hong Kong are ethnic Chinese but the majority of them don’t identify as Chinese – with some young activists even calling for Hong Kong’s independence from China.
For those people, the passing of the extradition bill would be the final nail in the coffin.
Critics of the bill, including lawyers and rights groups, also say China’s justice system is marred by allegations of torture, forced confessions and arbitrary detentions.
But Ms Lam’s government says the amendments are required to plug loopholes in the law that effectively make Hong Kong a haven for those wanted on the mainland.
She has also said there will be legally binding human rights safeguards.

San Francisco Foghorn
Hipsters and bikers and pirates, oh my!
From USF: Board the 33 Stanyan bus on Fulton and Stanyan, traveling Outbound to Potrero and 25th St. Get off at 18th and Dolores St.
18th St. and Dolores St.
Dolores Park is a testament to the reality of San Francisco’s microclimates—the sun seemingly never sets on this delightful park just blocks away from the heart of the Mission. The rolling hills of grass are perpetually covered with sunbathers, hipsters, tourists and just about any other person interested in taking a break from the hustle and bustle of the rest of San Francisco.
826 Valencia (a.k.a. The Pirate Store)
Founded by popular author Dave Eggers (of McSweeney’s fame), the Pirate Store is the ideal place for anyone looking to get outfitted in sea-faring gear. The store celebrates pirate lore with booby traps, a vat of lard and eye-patches for sale. Writing workshops are held in the back of the store for students aged six to eighteen. If the pirate’s life is for you, sign up to be a tutor!
603 Valencia St.
Good Vibrations couldn’t be further from the typical notion of a seedy erotica shop. This boutique is a clean, colorful, well-lit environment where patrons can feel free to ask the friendly and approachable staff about whatever their heart desires. No taboos or hang-ups here!
THE CASTRO
From USF: Board the 33 Stanyan bus on Fulton and Stanyan St., traveling Outbound to Potrero and 25th St. Get off at 18th and Castro St.
The Castro Theater
An architectural treasure, the Castro Theater truly deserves to be called a movie palace. The theater plays movies featuring bygone silver screen icons like Bette Davis and James Dean in a locale that evokes the glamour of old Hollywood. That’s not to say newer fare goes neglected. Coming in September: four nights of double-features showcasing some of director Tim Burton’s finest work.
Whatever Comics
548 Castro St.
Whatever Comics is a comic book store in the Castro where everyone can get their geek on. The store offers a nice alternative to the sea of trendy shops and restaurants the Castro is known for. This fortress of pop-culture carries all the big publishers (Marvel, DC, DarkHorse), but leaves some shelf space open for independent comic artists as well.
Hot Cookie
Do you love cookies? Do you love cookies molded into phallic shapes? If you answered yes to either (or both) of these questions, Hot Cookie is the place for you. The kitschy Castro touch is only half the reason Hot Cookie is so great—their delicious sweets really do speak for themselves.
HAIGHT AND ASHBURY
Give peace a chance… it’s only a few blocks away.
From USF, walk south down Clayton Street and through the Panhandle until you reach Haight Street.
Coffee to the People
1206 Masonic Ave.
Among the many pretentious cafés along Haight, Coffee to the People is a legitimate coffee shop. Serving only organic and fair trade coffee, CTTP stands behind its commitment to peace, social justice and environmentalism. It’s a great environment for debating, socializing, studying or simply relaxing with a good cup of coffee.
1855 Haight St.
A select list of items I’ve purchased at Amoeba: a belly dancing record, a live Woody Allen comedy record, “Forrest Gump” (for under $10), and an obscure Andy Warhol film on DVD. This list only begins to describe the melting pot that is Amoeba. Anyone and everyone’s music and film fantasies are made into reality with Amoeba’s extensive selections of CD, vinyl, DVD and more.
The Red Vic Movie House
1727 Haight Street
The Red Vic Movie House is the antidote to large, corporate movie theaters like the Metreon. Worker-owned and run in great part by volunteers, The Red Vic is proudly independent. The movie selection varies from season to season. You can count on seeing anything from “Annie Hall” to “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.” Look for organic treats at the concession stand as well as big comfy couches.
It’s amore at first sight.
From USF: Board the 5 Fulton on Fulton and Clayton St., traveling Inbound Towards Transbay Terminal. Get off at Market and Fourth St. Board the 30 Stockton traveling Outbound to Broderick and Beach. Get off at Stockton St. and Columbus Ave.
261 Columbus Ave.
City Lights is the ultimate independent bookstore that upholds its progressive values and undyingly supports literature that’s not afraid to push the envelope. Three floors of books (one dedicated entirely to poetry), creaky wood floors and shelves, world-renowned authors (who regularly give readings) and a palpable spirit of literary passion all make City Lights a San Francisco landmark.
Café Trieste
601 Vallejo St.
Café Trieste is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee and read that new book you bought at City Lights. Known as the first place to get espresso on the West Coast in the 50s and for the Beat writers who frequented it, Trieste is a North Beach staple. Not only their amazing coffee drinks, but the old Italian men smoking cigars and downing espresso help give Trieste it’s undeniable charm.
The San Francisco Art Institute
800 Chestnut St.
While it’s technically part of Russian Hill, The San Francisco Art Institute is just around the corner from North Beach. This school for the arts features a beautiful courtyard at its entrance and a massive terrace that offers a breathtaking view of San Francisco. The school’s best kept secret is probably the fact that it houses a work by renowned muralist Diego Rivera. This gallery space is open to the public, not just students of the school.
Things will look great when you’re… well, you know.
From USF: Board the 5 Fulton on Fulton and Clayton St., traveling Inbound towards Transbay Terminal. Get off at Market and 4th St.
Metreon
101 4th St.
The Metreon is the go-to spot downtown to see any widely released commercial film you can imagine (and is also known to show the occasional popular indie, too). While the inside may seem overwhelming (it houses a museum, shopping center and IMAX screens), its central location makes it the perfect place to go see that new summer blockbuster you’ve been secretly waiting for.
Jewish Contemporary Museum
763 Mission St.
This Museum isn’t just a gallery, but rather a place for ideas and art to intersect. Rather than emphasizing static visual art, the museum strives to create interactive exhibits. The museum also offers programs that include music and live performance. The building itself is most notable for its newest addition, a giant blue metallic cube balancing precariously on its side, which gives the illusion it could fall over at a moment’s notice.
The Orpheum Theater
There are many places to take in live theater in San Francisco, but in terms of a grandiose experience, few venues can compare to the scale and ostentation of The Orpheum Theater. The walls and ceiling of the theater drip with intricate details, creating an almost fantasy-like setting. The Orpheum is also one of the theaters that hosts touring Broadway shows, so if musicals are your thing, the Orpheum can’t be missed.

Contract Negotiation / Headline / MMA
Contracts In The MMA World
by Jason Karpel · June 12, 2014
Contracts are involved in almost every business. Whether it is employment contracts, independent contractor contracts, promotional contracts, the list goes on and on. However, contracts in the MMA world can be very “shady”, “sticky”, “fake”, and down right “criminal”.
In 2007, UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture was involved in a very public contract dispute with the UFC. Randy accused the UFC of underpaying him and making millions of dollars of his fights without paying him “what he deserved”. This dispute gained a lot of media attention and was the first time the UFC brass opened their financial records to the media in order to dispute claims made by Randy Couture about being underpaid and undervalued.

“When he signed and executed the promotional agreement he was awarded a signing bonus of $500,000 of which half was to be paid upon signing and half upon the completion of his first fight which was UFC 68,” stated UFC Chief Financial Officer John Mulkey. The UFC did produce a cashed checked signed by Couture dated Jan. 30 for $250,000 and an additional check for $250,000 dated March 3, 2007 and referenced as “UFC 68 Bonus” was issued to Couture, which would seem to corroborate the $500,000 amount referenced both by the UFC and Couture. In September 2008, over 12 months of contract disputed, Couture struck a deal to return to the UFC and defend his heavyweight title against Brock Lesnar at UFC 91. The contract disputes between the UFC and its athletes did not end with Randy Couture.
More recently we have seen fighters such as women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey go through a contract dispute with the UFC, number one contender Gilbert Melendez and the infamous Diaz brothers. Ronda Rousey almost lost her coaching spot on the reality show “The Ultimate Fighter”. Gilbert Melendez was involved in one of the bigger contract disputes in recent memory that eventually saw him sign with Bellator only to have the UFC match Bellator’s offer, which included a coaching spot on “The Ultimate Fighter” opposite UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis as well as a guaranteed title shot opposite Pettis. It should be pointed out that most MMA promotional agreements include a matching clause that allows a promotion like the UFC to match other promotions offer’s within a certain time frame.
No other contract dispute has been bigger then Eddie Alvarez’s battle with Bellator and Viacom. In late 2012, Eddie Alvarez was a free agent and was testing the MMA market. Alvarez has long been one of the top lightweights in the world and was presented with an offer by the UFC which would have not only compensated him very well but offered the opportunity to fight on PPV and collect a percentage of the PPV buys. Under the terms of a clause in his Bellator contract, that promotion had a right to match the UFC offer, and that’s where things got interesting.
This was a huge deal because while Bellator retained matching rights it was believed that they could not match the UFC’s offer because Bellator was not on PPV. Well that was not the case and sadly for Eddie Alvarez this ordeal cost him over a year of courtroom battles and sitting on the sidelines watching his prime fighting years pass him by.
The main points of the UFC offer to Alvarez was a $250,000 signing bonus and a $70,000 fight purse with a $70,000 win bonus for his first fight, with salaries escalating over the life of the deal. The contract was to cover a span of 40 months or eight fights, whichever occurred earlier. While these concrete figures are easy for Bellator to match, the issue lied in Alvarez’s ability to earn projected income from PPV buys.
Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney had this to say about the PPV bonus offer, “There is no guaranteed pay-per-view in the UFC offer to Eddie Alvarez… We as Bellator don’t have to match projections. We don’t have to match what could conceptually happen. We have to match guaranteed dollars and what the UFC contractually guaranteed would occur. That is what we are held to.” After the two sides went to court, they reached an out of court settlement that brought Alvarez back to the Bellator cage and saw him fight on Spike TV against Michael Chandler. Key point is that the fight was not on PPV, which may have cost Alvarez big money.
The major issue with the way Bellator exercised their matching rights in this situation was Bellator had never been on PPV and because PPV bonuses are hypothetical they argued in court that they can not be held to match hypothetical projected dollar figures and that by law they had to match concrete dollar figures. Well clearly the UFC has multiple shows that air on PPV and with Eddie Alvarez’s contract offer offering him a piece of those PPV shares, Bellator used a loophole to trap Alvarez and prevent him from possibly cashing in on one of the biggest fight purses in MMA history. But the trouble with Bellator’s contracts does not end here.
Recently news has come out about the terms in Bellator promotional contracts and it is not good. According to a recent article by John S. Nash, “Bellator has informed the fighters and managers that this extension can be enacted each time a fighter is declared “the champion of his weight class, a Tournament winner, or a Tournament runner-up” and that the extensions accumulate. What this means is that a tournament winner who then fought and won a Bellator title would have two extensions added to his contract, one for being declared a Tournament winner and one for being declared a champion of his weight class. There also does not seem to be a limit to the number of extensions that can accumulate, so that a fighter who wins or reaches the finals of multiple tournaments or who wins the championship on separate occasions or in different weight classes could have 3, 4, or even more extensions added to his deal.”
This clause in the Bellator promotional contracts is very discouraging and leads to lots of questions and speculation. Whether other managers decide to sign their clients to these contracts remains to be seen, but I will not have any of my clients sign this type of contract.
Another organization that has contract troubles is a regional promotion named “King of the Cage.” I have first hand experience with this promotion as I have had several fighters fight for them and I have seen first hand some of the shady wording they put in their contracts. One fighter who brought a lot of media attention to this origination is Lowen Tynanes. Lowen is a former client of mine and informed the media and myself that his King of the Cage contract was forged. Lowen had entered into this deal before we began to work together. What makes matters worse is that his forged contract was a 4-year contract. YES A 4 YEAR CONRACT. There was not a specific amount of fights, the pay was god-awful and the length of the contract was four years. That is unheard of in the MMA business and very shady. And this contract was forged. When king of the cage was questioned about it they said they knew it was forged but they were going to hold Lowen to it under the legal terminology of “acceptance by performance”. Because Lowen fought for them once he accepted the terms of the contract without even knowing it. I did not represent Lowen when he began to fight this contract and brought it to the media. But I plan on helping Lowen because he is a great young man and this type of behavior is unacceptable. This can ruin Lowen’s career and this organization needs to be held accountable.
Hopefully these contracts can be fixed/tweaked in the future and we can attempt to make this industry a more honest and fair one for the fighters. Bellator and King of the Cage need to be held accountable for these misconceptions and fraudulent contracts they produce.

Revenge: Wildcats take down Thunderbirds in FCS playoffs

“We wanted an opportunity at Southern Utah because we knew that’s who was waiting, we got it,” said Weber State University head coach Jay Hill.
In their second round playoff game, the Weber State Wildcats went south, to face the only FCS team to beat them this season.
In the matchup, the Wildcats took down the Southern Utah University Thunderbirds 30–13 and advanced to the FCS Playoff Quarterfinals.

The Thunderbirds jumped on the Wildcats early, scoring on a 16-yard touchdown run by sophomore running back Jay Green Jr. After WSU punted on their first drive of the game, the Thunderbirds marched down the field and scored a field goal, making the score 10–0.
The Thunderbirds moved into field goal territory after a 49-yard run by SUU senior quarterback Patrick Tyler. The score stood at 10–0 by the end of the first quarter.

On the first drive of the second quarter, the Wildcats marched the ball down the field, only for Weber State’s sophomore running back Kevin Smith to fumble on the four-yard line.
The next time the Wildcats got the ball it was all senior Drew Batchelor. The receiver moved the chains for a first down early in the drive on a catch that was first called incomplete, before being overturned.
Batchelor then caught the 20-yard touchdown pass, making the score 10–7 in favor of the Thunderbirds after the extra point. Batchelor led the ’Cats in receiving in the game, finishing with 98 receiving yards and one touchdown.
“It’s a good day to be a Wildcat,” Batchelor said.
By the end of the first half the score was 13–13 after two field goals from Weber State freshman kicker Trey Tuttle, and one at the end of the half by SUU’s freshman kicker Manny Berz. In the second half, it was the Wildcats who jumped out early, with senior quarterback Stefan Cantwell running in the touchdown.
Hill said, “I thought the key drive of the game was how they went out and played that first drive of the second half.”
The score capped off a seven play, 81-yard drive for Weber State. Cantwell threw a touchdown to senior tight end Andrew Vollert on the next drive, giving the Wildcats a 27–13 lead they would hold until the end of the third quarter.

On the first play in the fourth quarter, redshirt freshman Rashid Shaheed dropped a pass from Cantwell in the end zone. The drop was the third missed scoring opportunity for the Wildcats, after the first quarter fumble on the goal line and a third quarter drive that ended on the SUU 1-yard line.
The next score for the Wildcats came off a Tuttle field goal, putting the Thunderbirds in a three-score hole. Despite trailing by 17, the Thunderbirds continued to fight.
They moved consistently down the field, only to give up three sacks to Weber State seniors Cardon Malan and McKay Murphy as well as junior linebacker Justus Brown. The Wildcats ended with six total sacks, three by Malan.
“Our defense played great as a whole,” Malan said. “I could just go through every guy on our team on the defense, they stepped up and played great.”

The sacks forced the Thunderbirds to kick their eighth punt of the game, with only five minutes remaining — SUU would not get the ball back. The Wildcats were able to march methodically down the field, kneeling the final seconds off the clock inside of Southern Utah’s 10-yard line.
This was the first time Cantwell played an entire game against the Thunderbirds, as he was knocked out of their matchup earlier this season with a concussion.

Cantwell said, “The fact that I was able to go through all four quarters and to help the offense go down the field was amazing.”
Cantwell finished the game with 299 passing yards, his most since WSU played the University of California, and led the team in rushing with 105 yards and one rushing touchdown.
The next opponent for the Wildcats is the James Madison University Dukes, the top-ranked team in the playoffs and in all of FCS football. The Dukes are also coming into the game on a 24 game win streak.
Hill said, “I shouldn’t have to say one thing this week to motivate these players to practice hard and go out and get this.”

WikiLeaks: A Christmas gift to the world
Published by Stefan Engeseth on december 23, 2010
WikiLeaks: A Christmas gift to the world, which can make the world spin a the right way again.
Wishing you a Wikileaking 2011.
Redesigning the saying: People don’t know what they want until you show it to them?
There is an arrogance in the old saying: People don’t know what they want until you show it to them. I had lunch with a designer who in an elegant way redesigning the saying into:
People know what they want, they only don´t know how to express it.
Designer Håkan Johansson, ZWEED
It does make sense and sell furniture:

Beautiful creative destruction
Can destruction be beautiful? This website shows how and where on earth destruction has become beautiful memories – captured on excellent photos.
Creative Destruction is an Internet-site devoted to innovation and economic change. Using photos from a large selection of abandoned buildings as illustrations.

More leaks inspired by whistleblowers as WikiLeaks
Power is in the individual person who has access to any-form of connection to the Internet. I believe that whistleblowers as WikiLeaks is only the beginning of a numbers of leaks that will have different names as OpenLeaks.org.
We will see copy cats of Günter Wallraff, working as employes but later leak information if they feel it is the only way to change the way business is done.
A whistleblower is a person who raises a concern about alleged wrongdoing occurring in an organization or body of people. Usually this person would be from that same organization.
Never before has the grass rots been so powerful.
Electrifying advertising at the 100 Watt Awards
I attended ”100-wattaren”, the prestigious Swedish award of advertising effect. Apart from me, 799 other advertising and marketing professionals were also attending this years’ awards. The 100 Watt Awards was founded by the Association of Swedish Advertisers in 1990, so this year the award also celebrated its 20th anniversary promoting advertising that really works.
Swedish advertisers have really improved their skills, especially in television and on the Internet. One advertising agency, Forsman & Bodenfors, has over the years been outstanding in winning awards. This year was no exception and they were awarded twice for their campaign “Dear Steve Jobs” for the Swedish National Television. It was a smart idea that made more than 400.000 people demand an iPhone app for SVT.
The effect of all these really good advertisers in Sweden, demonstrated by the high quality level of the nominees for the awards, could be that now can expect to export even more talent abroad. I wrote an article about this for Advertising Age earlier, titled “Why Sweden Is Teeming With Ad Talent:”
Agencies around the globe are waging a war to attract the most talented people. And many of these talented creative people hail from Scandinavia. But why is that? I argue that it is partly because of the school system and the dark winters.
The dark winter evening also offered several talented musical artists lighting up the night, where one of my favorites is the charming soul singer Jasmine Kara (music is also another good example of a successful Swedish export).
WikiLeaks: Is the Russian president reading my blog?
Blogged on the 8th on “Why WikiLeaks will get the Nobel Prize.”
The day after the Guardian has published the headline:
Julian Assange should be awarded Nobel peace prize, suggests Russia.
The article indicates that the idea is from the Russian president (who may have read my blog).
A big thanks to the legendary blogger Jack Yan who did send me the Guardian article and blogged: Wikileaks’ brand of transparency is the enemy of the establishment.
Why WikiLeaks will get the Nobel Prize
Published by Stefan Engeseth on december 8, 2010
No idea to describe what WikiLeaks is or does. Instead I like to explain why I think WikiLeaks will get the Nobel Prize.
I think they could be as important as Napster was for the music industry. First the music industry complained and did not want to change anything. But now, after a long painful lesson, they finally have adapted into new formats as Spotify and other solutions.
To compare the music industry with the USA may sound disrespectful. But for decades USA has got the rest of the world to dance to their hit music and “hit” politics.
WikiLeaks will be the best ever change management tool for the world. Why? Because they will change USA which is the same as changing the world.
In a transparent world economic interest and politics grow together. Big business has become politics. The effect will be that politics and business need to change and therefore I think WikiLeaks will get the Nobel Prize in peace and economic category.

Thom Thavenius success at Unplugged Speeches™
Last Thursday the fifth Unplugged Speeches™ took place. This time it had a different speaker, Thom Thavenius. Thom is an ex-employee in both security- and intelligence services and has a unique knowledge in the field of intelligence analysis and strategy development. The audience was full of heavy-waiters as Google, Spotify, Universal Music, Swedbank, Nordea, TV4 and many others.
The goal of the lecture was to discover and learn how the business world could use and learn from secret service. Thom was excellent in delivering knowledge about how to spot patterns and how to use the knowledge internally (marketing, leadership and change management). Thom talked about how leadership in an organization can navigate by understanding and using the best available information there is to get.
We learned not only how to connect the dots in present time but also to map out how to connect the dots in the future.
Leadership is a mindset
Leadership is a mindset.

From segregation to black liberation
Naima Omar
This is the first of three columns looking at the life, politics and activism of Angela Davis, a living icon for revolutionaries
Angela Davis is an icon for many, a fighter for black and women’s liberation and a revolutionary to the core. But some seem to forget the revolutionary bit.
Davis’s childhood was defined by racism, violence, fear and resistance, shaping who she went on to become.

Trump forced onto back foot by Iran
Simon Assaf
Donald Trump has learned that the Middle East is a complex and dangerous place where bellicose threats on Twitter count for little.
The US president has been talking up the threat of war on Iran since he came to office, prompted no doubt by Israel and Saudi Arabia, which have long feared the growing Iranian influence in an era of declining American power in the region.

Versailles: the settlement that settled nothing
The Treaty of Versailles was a vicious project, during which the Great Powers prioritised their own imperialist interests over the rhetoric of a “just and lasting peace”. Steve Guy looks at its consequences.
The Great War had ground on for four long years, and the Allied leaders were caught by surprise when revolution in Germany compelled the military dictatorship of Ludendorff and von Hindenburg to sue for peace in November 1918. As a result, the peace talks only commenced in January 1919, with a commitment by the Allies to producing a “just and lasting peace”. In fact, there were five peace treaties concluded by late 1920. Of the five, the one with Germany, the Treaty of Versailles, levied the most onerous demands on the vanquished foe.

Kashmir: the poisoned legacy of partition
The plight of the Kashmiris has long roots, stretching back to the end of Empire and the division of India after the Second World War.
Kashmir is the most militarised region on the planet. An estimated half a million Indian security personnel police a population of about 7 million.
About 80,000 have been killed in an insurgency against Indian rule. From 2016, shotguns filled with lead pellets have been used for “crowd control”, deliberately fired to blind civilian protesters. Stories of torture, rape and abduction abound among the mainly Muslim population.

Johnson's bluster on crime
Brian Richardson
The prime minister, like many before him, has advocated greater police numbers and increased stop and search powers. This approach won’t tackle the issues fuelling violent crime, writes Brian Richardson.
“Entitlement, aggression, amorality, lack of concern for others.” That was how one woman described a particularly notorious member of the Bullingdon Club during her time as a student at Oxford University in the 1980s. She recalls “with extreme regret and embarrassment” her role acting as a scout for an organisation which was characterised by a culture of vandalism and intimidation. Women were routinely belittled at its lavish dinners while others were recruited to perform sex acts.

Clare Lemlich
A tide of racism and violence is sweeping the US, but there is also resistance, reports Clare Lemlich.
On 3 August 21 year old Patrick Crusius travelled to the border town of El Paso, Texas, walked into a local shopping centre, and murdered 22 people. Moments before opening fire he shared a manifesto online stating, “This attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas.” He drew inspiration from the Christchurch, New Zealand, mosque shooting earlier this year.
Mass shootings are almost a routine occurrence now in the United States. So far this year there have been 261, roughly one per day, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

Notes on the climate crisis: Heathrow expansion
July / August 2019
John Sinha
In June last year, sensing the growing chaos of Theresa May’s administration, the Heathrow lobby got the government to smuggle legislation through parliament to expand Heathrow airport. It only passed because many Labour MPs voted for a third runway, against their party’s policy on aviation. They undoubtedly received encouragement in their defiance by the actions of Unite general secretary, Len McCluskey, who wrote to every Labour MP lobbying for Heathrow expansion.

How defeat bred division
Sabby Sagall
On 20 April 1968, leading Tory politician Enoch Powell made his infamous “rivers of blood” speech in which he attacked mass immigration from the Commonwealth. Quoting from the Latin poet Virgil, he proclaimed: “As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see the River Tiber foaming with much blood.” The speech caused a political storm, making Powell one of the most divisive political figures in the country.

How supermarket workers buck the trend
The Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers (Usdaw) has long had a reputation as a right wing force in the labour movement, a bulwark of the right inside the Labour Party and a voice for “moderation” inside the TUC, where it champions the utility of cosy “partnership” deals with employers and avoids even the occasional language of confrontation.
Close to Tony Blair throughout the New Labour era, the union nominated Andy Burnham in the 2015 Labour leadership election and, learning nothing, backed the hapless Owen Smith in the 2016 attempt to depose Jeremy Corbyn.

Scotland | Is the monolith beginning to crack?
Charlotte Ahmed
In the febrile atmosphere of pre-Brexit Britain, it is a fool’s game to try to predict the short-term future of political parties. That previous certainties have been trashed in the fall-out of the economic crisis all over the world is beyond doubt.
