Britain begins the new decade on the cusp of leaving the European Union and with its Royal Family in crisis. And yet, for the second consecutive January, many people are talking about a vegan pastry.
The unusual national conversation is thanks to Greggs: a cheap, no-frills bakery chain that has avoided the retail malaise sweeping the United Kingdom with clever marketing and by giving customers the chance to buy vegan.
Some Greggs stores have seen hundreds of customers lining up in the cold to try its new vegan steak bake. The brand has inspired genuine fans to create Greggs appreciation societies. And during last year’s heated general election campaign, political rivals Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn made sure to be photographed inside its stores.
The cult status surrounding the company, which pop star Ed Sheeran raves about and TV personality Piers Morgan thinks is emblematic of everything wrong with the world, is only growing. Greggs is Britain’s most popular food brand, according to polling company YouGov, and rival restaurant chains are unable to break its hold over Britain’s cultural and food zeitgeist.
Its rise is a uniquely British story, and its celebrity would confound outsiders — but experts say companies worldwide can learn from Greggs’ success.
Mass popularity has been a long time coming for the chain, which last week rewarded staff with a £300 ($390) bonus after another string of successful returns. Greggs started life in Tyneside, a former center for heavy industry in northeast England, in 1939, and was a forgettable fixture on a select number of UK main streets just a decade ago.
But with an unusual and relentless marketing campaign and a shift towards healthier products that appeal to wealthier customers, the company has reinvented itself.
“People want to be associated with Greggs,” says Sara Collinge, managing director of marketing consultancy Don’t Cry Wolf. “It’s incredible to think that just a few years ago they were a beleaguered business that was really struggling to keep up with other … chains like Subway.”
Has Greggs conquered Britain?
“Young people, especially, love Greggs,” says student Holly McManus — and she would know. A year ago, McManus set up an online Greggs appreciation group for fellow University of Liverpool attendees that now has more than 400 members.
“Go to Greggs have a pastry” is the straightforward mantra on the community’s Facebook page. It’s embraced by students across the United Kingdom.
“There’s two Greggs on our campus and at lunch times the queue always goes out the door and far down the street,” says McManus, who estimates that she eats at Greggs twice a week.
The company’s low prices are a big driver of its popularity, helping its products to become a staple for younger Brits. The vice president of McManus’ group says the “ritualistic daily routine of a sausage roll at break time” while attending school was his “first true experience of culinary independence.”
In 2017, a Birmingham university student jokingly wrote on Greggs’ Facebook page asking to host a party at one of its stores; in a cunning PR move the company accepted, temporarily turning an outlet into a nightclub and enjoying days’ worth of publicity.
It doesn’t hurt to have celebrity friends, either. “I ate 7 sausages rolls in a row and had to go to bed, I love you,” Ed Sheeran wrote on Twitter in 2017 after Greggs gave him a specially designed box of their top-selling item. Two years earlier, the actor Jake Gyllenhaal admitted that when he’s in the United Kingdom, he likes to sit in a park and eat a Greggs baguette.
But the company isn’t just a young person’s obsession. According to YouGov, it’s risen to the top spot among Britain’s most popular food brands. Boasting acceptance across numerous demographics, the polling firm says Greggs is well liked by millennials and boomers alike.
The ‘PC-ravaged clowns’ are on a roll
Nothing gets Britain talking like a vegan sausage roll.
When Greggs launched the plant-based alternative to its most popular product last year, it caused a firestorm of excitement and controversy that even the most optimistic marketing team couldn’t have expected.
Many hailed its arrival, with the general consensus on social media being that the product tasted about as good as the meat option. The Guardian said the roll provided “a chance for a divided country to heal itself.”
“They democratized vegan food, making it accessible for more people, bringing it onto high streets in the country,” Collinge says. “They took plant based food out of its vegan enclaves and hit the mainstream.”
Others stoked controversy. “Nobody was waiting for a vegan bloody sausage, you PC-ravaged clowns,” Piers Morgan said on Twitter — to which Greggs replied, “Oh hello Piers, we’ve been expecting you.”
Still, sales of the vegan product picked up throughout 2019, helping to drive a 58% increase in the chain’s profit during the first half of the year.
“Greggs is really aware of trends in foods, consumer trends, and it’s got very good marketing. It’s got a friendly, fun image that people can really engage with,” says Maureen Hinton, global retail research director at GlobalData.
“Piers Morgan helped a great deal by moaning about it,” Hinton admits. But the company was already on the right track. “They were forward thinking,” she says. “Ethics, sustainability and governance are becoming really big issues for retailers and it seems to have tapped into that really well.”
For its encore, Greggs launched a vegan steak bake this month — unveiled with a flashy online trailer. And, in a perfectly proportional response, British consumers lined up in the cold at 10 p.m. to get a first taste.
Both vegan products feature Quorn, a meat substitute that gets its protein content from a fermented fungus.
PR still Greggs’ bread and butter
Greggs faces fierce competition, at least in London, from chains such as Pret a Manger and Costa Coffee, which have grown rapidly in recent years by offering sandwiches, salads and coffee (as well as pastries and cakes).
But rather than emulate their models, Greggs stuck to low-cost, traditionally British products, which include the popular £1.75 ($2.30) sausage roll while simultaneously targeting new, middle-class customers in cities in southern England.
The strategy has worked; now, the hottest chain in the country is planning to open 100 new outlets in 2020. With shares up dramatically, Greggs is also on the cusp of joining the United Kingdom’s benchmark FTSE 100 index.
“It might be surprising to some that Greggs is doing so well, given that it sells ‘off-message’ products, perceived as unhealthy,” says Tim Denison, the director of retail intelligence at Ipsos Retail Performance.
“The age-old basics of retailing are still very relevant though. Location is key — Greggs has been very astute in finding honey-pot spots, that may not have been considered as traditional retail locations.”
But store placement and vegan products aren’t the secret to Greggs’ success, say experts: its true power lies in marketing.
“What they did incredibly successfully was stop focusing on their products and started focusing on their brand,” Collinge explains. “They absolutely know their audience.”
That confidence is clear in several of its PR operations. Upon launching its vegan roll, for instance, Greggs raised excitement by sending out the product to journalists packaged in what resembled an iPhone box.
“They get it,” says Collinge. “They get the self-deprecating British humor, they know they can poke fun at people, but the main thing they do is poke fun at themselves, which works incredibly well.”
Can Greggs get bigger?
Greggs has its roots in World War II, but the company’s rise to the top ranks of British brands only began in the past decade, when new management inherited a business that had been hit hard by the global financial crisis.
“The thing that people misinterpret in the UK market is that if it’s low price it must be low quality,” Greggs CEO Roger Whiteside told The Telegraph last year. “But customers are wising up to that because of what I call the Aldi/Lidl effect. Low price doesn’t have to be low quality.”
It’s an apt comparison; German superstore Aldi has built a devoted following on both sides of the Atlantic. When it enters a new American town, it’s not uncommon for hundreds of people to turn out for the grand opening. Its allure, too, is in rock-bottom prices, often so cheap that Aldi beats Walmart at its own discounting game.
But experts also see challenges for Greggs in explaining its story to consumers outside the United Kingdom.
“That’s one of the reasons they haven’t expanded internationally — they know that what they have is special and it really works for this market, whereas it doesn’t necessarily translate,” says Collinge.
“I don’t know if it’s one of those businesses you can open abroad,” Hinton concurs. “It’s quite British in its personality.”
Hinton also questions how long its dedication to low prices can continue. “How far can you expand and keep the growth going without the cost becoming too overwhelming? Physical stores and having to employ people is becoming more costly, especially as the living wage is going up,” she adds.
But with excitement over its vegan range and its colorful marketing campaigns, Greggs has, at least, cooked up a storm in Britain, even if its vegan offerings continue to produce controversy.
“People now expect brands to be bold, and stand for something,” Collinge concludes. “If you’re not upsetting someone, you’re not doing it right.”

Open/Close Menu Charter and Bareboat on Lagoon
Tours in the Lagoon
Daily Tours in the Lagoon
Two days in Venice
Tour of the islands with aperitif on Lagoon
A sightseeing of the most authentic and fascinating places
The Certosa is an ideal platform to start a tour of the town and of the islands of the Lagoon.
At the ACTV stop on the island (Certosa stop), you’ll see on the front, starting on the right, the Sant’Elena docks with the military nautical institute Morosini behind, the island of San Pietro and the majestic cathedral and the Arsenale (dockyard).
In two days you’ll see this island and some of the other islands in the Lagoon.
The schedule includes boarding in the evening to tour the city and an aperitif; dinner at one of Venice pubs (bàcaro) or restaurant near or on the boat.
The next morning will be devoted to visiting the neighborhood, after breakfast, and a tour among one of the possible at the Sant’Andrea fort or to the Castello’s market; the saturday afternoon we will sail heading north to visit Murano, Burano and pass the night in Torcello.
The last day we’ll sail to reach the sea and the central Lagoon with the possibility of visiting one of its islands: Alberoni, San Lazzaro degli Armeni or San Servolo.
The boat mooring, in the island of Certosa, allows to reach San Pietro di Castello in 10 minutes. Especially for the one that already went through the classic touristic paths in the city, uncover the most authentic parts will reveal the true spirit of Venice.
ISLAND OF SANT’ANDREA
The fort represents one of the symbols of the venetian naval power.
Walking through its hidden passages and above the pillboxes commemorating the history of this place is really a fascinating experience.
SAN FRANCESCO DEL DESERTO
The island is a peaceful osasis, inhabited by a dozen Franciscans. A friar will guide you to the discovery of its monuments and its history.
Free offer guided tours every day.
Always the preferred way to entery the Lagoon. Its wood is rich in tree species, native and oriental: Robinia, hackberry, mulberry, black and white poplar, ash, Japanese privet and marsh cane, and populated by a number of communities of hares, goats, and birds.
Sant’ERASMO
Sant’Erasmo is the second largest island of the Venetian Lagoon.
Known as the kitchen garden and the beach of Venice, this island once faced the sea, before the construction of the North dike of the Lido port, which created the Treporti land.
The city-island which counts about 7,000 inhabitants is the most crowded among the the islands of the north lagoon. Always a fishing village, renowned in the whole world for the art of lace, today tourism is its primary income source. The harmony of its colours, the warm feeling coming from its “calli” (streets) in every season and the hospitality of its people, give Burano an unforgettable charm.
Is linked to Burano with a wooden bridge. Almost ignored by the horde of day trippers, who believe this rectangular land strip is an offshoot of Burano, was once called Maiurbium (= greater town). Today it has about three hundred inhabitants, some of which living in the newly built housing estates in the south-east of the island.
GIRO DEL LIDO
Lagoon, sea, lagoon inlets… A fine sail facing one of the best Italian beaches, against the backdrop of the most luxurious hotels and villas in art nouveau style. For the lunch we will go Alberoni, a small village at the western end of the island or on the island of Poveglia.
Final stop, depending on the time, San Lazzaro (visit 15:30) or San Servolo.
This little known island is an incredible mix of history, nature and atmosphere.
A couple hours dedicated to the exploration of this land you’ll never forget.
Prices: two nights and two days
€ 200, one person,
€ 380, 2 people,
€ 800, 5 people.
Boarding: about 1800. Landing: within 1900.

Initially, director Scott Caan wanted a simple title sequence at the end of the movie. However, title designer Howard Nourmand proposed a sequence inspired by the infamous Rorschach inkblot test. His concept, designed to take the audience on a visually stimulating trip into the male psyche, convinced Caan.
DesignerHoward Nourmand
StudioGrand Jeté
I thought it would be so cool if each viewer sort of had their own experience or interpretation of the subjective imagery I was feeding them.
Howard Nourmand: “I read the script when it was just a draft and loved it. Initially Scott kinda felt the titles should be simple and play at the end of the film over some really nice live action he had shot. I realized that if I wanted to persuade Scott to do a sequence at the beginning of the film I would have to sell him on a concept that really really juiced him.
“I started off by doing tons of research. I went to practically every library in L.A. I felt like I was getting close to an animated graphic design style which was leading to something but it was all still pretty vague.”
Howard Nourmand/Grand Jete

Joel Bentow, Seaton Lin, David Eagle, Goffrey Romsa, Mikey Pendola
“Ironically the inkblot thing came to me while I was lying down in bed not trying to come up with anything creative. Before I even began any animation I made hundreds of blots. I knew the blot idea was strong, but I still was unclear about how I would animate them and my initial storyboards lacked specificity.
“I was frustrated because my storyboards and animation tests were sort of all over the place and I could feel the clock ticking. Scott kept making surprise visits to my office where he would say to me, ‘they are really good but if they are not amazing we just won’t put them in.’ He really knew how to push me. It was rough at times, but looking back it was the best thing he could have done.
[Scott] forced me to ‘play above my head’. Saul Bass once said that of Otto Preminger.”
“Ultimately, I came to the conclusion that I just had to edit my ideas and simplify things. My good friend and peer Patrick Hoelck always says to me ‘what’s the sentence to describe it.’ In this case it was: To visually stimulate and induce the viewers’ subconscious by using authentic psychiatric devices and take them on a psychological trip which explored the inner depths of the modern male psyche. In doing that I used optical illusions, hypnotherapy, Rorschach cards and music.
“In the film, Solo’s (the protagonist) perception of the complex subject of love changes as he grows up. The blots in the titles embody this theme. They are metaphors for the lessons to be learned of love. The longer you look at them the more you see. The blots become all the things that play a role in defining Solo’s identity.”

Celebrity chef on why Greek food is about more than hummus and moussaka
Celebrity chef Theo Michaels on why Greek food is about more than hummus and moussaka
Orexi is a collection of more than 80 recipes inspired by the flavours of Greece and Cyprus. In this book MasterChef UK’s Theo Michaels, from Harpenden, pays homage to his family heritage, championing traditional dishes and sharing his own modern cooking.
Born in Edmonton in London, Theo lived in America for five years before moving back to London and eventually settling in Hertfordshire, now living in Harpenden with his wife and three children.
We sat down with the chef to discuss his new cookbook and his love of Greek food.
Why is food so important to the Greek and Cypriot culture?
Food is entwined within our culture, it is the common thread that everything else frays from. The food itself is important, of course, but its more about what it signifies and forces you to stop, sit down, and spend time with people. That’s the real magic.
Did you grow up with Greek/Cypriot food in the home? What was the food culture like?
It’s a cliché, but my mum is an incredible cook so albeit the food was mostly Cypriot, depending on where we lived contributed to what other ingredients we ended up using. The bonus was most of my friends also enjoyed Cypriot food during their childhood as they knew what time dinner was and that our Greek hospitality would always set them a plate.
How is life in Hertfordshire?
Brilliant, in Harpenden we’ve got tons of great restaurants, bars and shops and stuff to do. Specifically I really like the Silver Palate in Harpenden, they’re one of the oldest, most established restaurants and also where I first started my pop-up restaurant a few years ago. Oh, and they’ve just brought out a new menu which is fab and a great place to take the kids for brunch. Equally when we’re cooking at home or I’m ordering supplies for events I always use our local butchers, Jelley’s Meats in Southdown. If we’re after some fresh air Harpenden Common is a great place with lots of different events taking place over the year.
What does Orexi mean? Can you tell us about the concept?
Orexi literally means appetite – the French say bon appetite, the Greeks say kali orexi – it means the same, we just say it louder! The concept was all about championing Greek cuisine, at its heart it’s about opulence, hospitality, simple beautiful ingredients, restraint and proper food, the stuff you want to eat. It was also about showing a new side of Greek cuisine and promoting the fact that it is so much more than hummus and moussaka.
I ran my own recruitment business for the best part of 15 years and eventually just lost the passion for it. It was after reaching the heats of the semi-finals on Masterchef in 2014 that I decided to follow my heart and try to carve a career in food. I had no idea what, but gave myself one year to try. At first I was doing pop-up restaurant nights and private chef work and now five years on I’m the executive chef for Elsewhere Events managing the design and delivery for events from 25 people up to 250. We bounce around between our chateau in Provence, manor house in the Alps and our Estate in Norfolk and various pop-up corporate events.
Besides the executive chef work I write a weekly food column for Best Magazine which I love and have just had my third cookbook published.
You have experience of high end cuisine, but now focus on simple and accessible food. What’s the biggest difference between family friendly food and fine dining?
Family friendly food is the day to day, it’s our sustenance – it’s the reality of modern life. Fine dining is an event, it’s an experience, a rarity.
For me, it’s two-fold. The food that I really enjoy, that brings me real pleasure is usually the simpler of foods, a whole fish cooked on the barbecue, a simple salad of the freshest of ingredients - it nourishes my soul as much as my body.
I’m also a father of three (all under 10) and what we eat at home is hugely important; it makes or breaks our health. It teaches our kids how to eat and how to cook, which is a life skill. But I’m also a realist and wild horses couldn’t stop me diving head first into the odd ruby-murray takeaway or a decent fish’n’chips!
What was it like being on Masterchef?
Intense, surreal, an honour. Masterchef was an incredible experience and I’m forever indebted. Seriously, it was life-changing. I didn’t win and was gutted at the time, but there is something about being the underdog, about having to prove your worth and fight for every win and bit of progress.
Food is evocative and like most chefs much of my inspiration comes from childhood memories and family stories; it creates an intimate and personal muse from where you start to create new dishes and recipes. My mother and father are excellent cooks, as was my yiayia’s (Greek for grandmother). My new book Orexi showcases some of those traditional recipes from the villages of Cyprus and Greece (and my nan’s north London home!) but I also wanted to show more of what modern Greek food is about. As such most of the book is full of exciting new Greek recipes that are easily accessible and perfect for the upcoming summer!
It’s a Thursday night, you’re late home from work, and the cupboards are pretty bare. What’s your go-to quick and easy dinner?
Presuming we’re discounting takeaways, I do like laap; pork mince (in the freezer), lots of lemon grass (again in the freezer), chili, ginger, garlic – you’re done in ten minutes and wrapped in a lettuce leaf. Either that or a simple tomato salad, quality olive oil and decent bread to mop it up.
If you only had five ingredients that you could cook with for the rest of your life, what would you choose?
Coriander, garlic, chili, lemon, olive oil – that’ll basically work with anything else I can find!

AG: 1,400 Auto Plaza USA customers to receive restitution
Posted: Wed 3:39 PM, Aug 14, 2019
FRANKFORT, Ky. (WBKO) -- The Kentucky Attorney General's Office has confirmed it has secured restitution for 1,400 Auto Plaza USA customers who were overcharged.
Court documents state the Nicholasville company told the 1,400 consumers the prices of vehicles included taxes and fees, but the company submitted insufficient tax amounts on the transactions.
Customers received delinquent tax notices from the state as a result.
The company and its owners will pay more than $450,000 as a result of a consent judgment.
“I am proud that our office was able to secure restitution for every customer,” Attorney General Andy Beshear said. “Every Kentuckian impacted will either receive their money back or have their outstanding taxes reconciled.”
700 consumers who paid delinquent taxes will receive a total of $214,000. The Kentucky Department of Revenue will receive $175,000 to resolve various issues with the other 700 customers.
"The Better Business Bureau applauds the action of Attorney General Beshear’s office in this matter," director of operations Kim Sweazy said. "We are proud to partner with his office to help protect and fight for consumers in the Commonwealth.”
Customers will be contacted by the Attorney General's Office in September once the defendants pay all the amounts due.

Catholic Action Center Needs Coats & Blankets

With over 1,500 homeless residents in Lexington, it’s hard to keep all those people warm and properly clothed in sub-freezing temperatures.
The Catholic Action Center is hoping that everyone in Lexington and the surrounding areas will dig into their closets, as well as their hearts, to help cloth the growing homeless population.
Ginny Ramsey, co-director of the Catholic Action Center, said they desperately need coats and blankets.
"Coats and blankets are our number one [need]. Hats, gloves, long underwear, anything that can keep people warm would be appreciated."
Ramsey said they rely solely on the goodness of people in the community to provide for those in need, and wants everyone to do their part to provide relief from the extreme cold.
"Folks are suffering," she explained. "This is a very critical time."

Tim Tebow talks wedding planning: 'I just mostly say Yes, babe.'
HALEY YAMADA
Good Morning America January 15, 2020
Tim Tebow talks wedding planning: 'I just mostly say Yes, babe.' originally appeared on goodmorningamerica.com
Tim Tebow and his fiance Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters are in the "final stretch" before their wedding and are gearing up for the big "I do."
"Wedding planning has been great. It’s been so much fun planning the day and seeing it all come together," Tebow told "GMA." "We have some really unique moments that will be a part of it. But honestly, I just mostly say ‘Yes, babe.'"
Listening to the bride-to-be may be a smart idea for any husband, including Tebow, who posted an outtake while shopping for a wedding outfit where he's wearing just a tuxedo vest and no dress shirt.
The former NFL player proposed to the South African model in January 2019. Nel-Peters shared a series of photos from the dreamy proposal on Instagram, writing, “Any dreams I’ve ever had, you’ve exceeded them all! I love you and I can’t wait to spend forever with you! @timtebow 💍❤️”
Tebow, who is a spokesperson for The Knot Registry, opened up about their wedding planning process and shared some of the couple's must-haves on their registry. Their registry includes many home and kitchen products like an open fire grill, fine china, and an espresso coffee machine since they love to entertain.
"One thing Demi and I like to do is host people," he said. "Family, friends, team members ... so even though we had a few must-haves, we really wanted a bunch of products for cooking and entertaining."
Demi-Leigh said in a statement she registered for a "charcoal grill, cutting boards and upgraded kitchen tools" to make one of her family's favorite recipes.
"One of my all-time favorite dishes my dad makes is oxtail with vegetables,“ she said. “Tim got to try it for the first time last Christmas and was instantly sold, which is why we’ve registered for things like a charcoal grill, cutting boards and upgraded kitchen tools.”
In addition to traditional home essentials for newlyweds, Tebow said the couple also created a honeymoon fund and a charity fund through the platform, so guests can donate to his charitable foundation, the Tim Tebow Foundation, instead of a traditional wedding gift.
"Something we really believe in is using any opportunity you have to help fight for people who can’t fight for themselves. It’s been my life mission since I was five years old. So when we started doing the planning, incorporating an option for our guests to donate to the Tim Tebow Foundation in lieu of a traditional gift was a non-negotiable for both of us," he said.

As they prep for the big day, including first dance practice, Tebow said the couple is most looking forward to having their loved ones by their sides.
"The most important part of the wedding to us is that our closest family and friends have the best time celebrating as we embark on our next chapter together," he said. "We are so fortunate to have so many people coming to the ceremony and reception.”

Canadian PM Trudeau tells Iran crash vigil he will pursue justice
By Rod Nickel and Chris Helgren
Reuters• January 12, 2020
EDMONTON, Alberta/TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, his voice sometimes breaking, on Sunday told a vigil for some of those killed in an Iranian plane disaster that he would "pursue justice and accountability" for what happened.
Iran says it mistakenly shot down a Ukrainian airliner on Wednesday, killing 176 people. Fifty-seven Canadians died, most of them of Iranian descent, in one of the biggest single losses of life Canada has suffered in 40 years.
"You may feel unbearably lonely, but you are not alone. Your entire country stands with you, tonight, tomorrow, and in all the years to come," Trudeau told a standing-room crowd of 2,300 in a basketball gymnasium in Edmonton, Alberta, home to 13 of the victims. Most had direct links to the University of Alberta.
As Trudeau spoke, boxes of tissues were passed among the mourners who packed the bleachers. Black-rimmed photos of the dead stood on the stage, beside arrangements of rose petals, candles and plates of dates.
"This tragedy should have never occurred, and I want to assure you that you have my full support during this extraordinarily difficult time ... you give us purpose to pursue justice and accountability for you," said Trudeau, who has demanded Canada take part in the crash probe.
"We will not rest until there are answers."
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney lamented an "epic demonstration of human folly." Kenney, a political foe of Trudeau, told the vigil he was confident the prime minister would give his all to find out what happened.
Family and friends wept and hugged, listening to tributes to their loved ones from young and old.
Ghazal Pakseresht grieved the short life of her friend and Persian school classmate, 14-year-old Daria Mousavi who died in the crash with her sister Dorina, 9, and parents Pedram Mousavi and Mojgan Daneshmand.
“She never got to fall in love, get married, have kids and grow old. In life we don’t realize how important someone is to us until they’re no longer with us," Pakseresht said of Daria.
Daniel Ghods said his girlfriend, Saba Saadat, a student of biological sciences, was a "glimpse of light" in his life, before she was killed in the crash.
"In this world we live in it’s easy to become desensitized to the tragedies going on around us," Ghods said. "I ask everyone to maintain their humanity and be kind to one another."
Earlier in the day about 2,000 people packed into a Toronto university hall, voicing grief and rage.
"There is no justice in this world," said Masoud Niknam, mourning his brother Farhad, a dentist and married father of two children.
"I don't believe in anything anymore. We will have a hole in our hearts forever and that cannot be filled with anything."
“Everybody is angry, everybody is upset. I haven’t seen Iranian people like this since 1979, the revolution,” said Mehrdad Ariannejad, CEO of Tirgan, a non-profit organization that organized the Toronto memorial.
The memorials follow several days of grief in Canada, including candlelight vigils in many cities.

5 things you might not know about new Barcelona head coach Quique Setien
Barcelona have appointed Quique Setien to replace Ernesto Valverde on a contract until the end of the 2021-22 season.
The 61-year-old former Racing Santander and Real Betis boss takes over with the Catalonia club top of LaLiga.
Here, the PA news agency takes a closer look at the new Barcelona manager.

— Quique Setien (@QSetien) June 30, 2019
Setien started his playing career with hometown club Racing Santander and would go on to appear over 350 times for them during two stints. A central midfielder with an eye for a goal, he would also begin management at El Sardinero too in 2001 when they were in the Segunda Division. One of his best moments with Racing occurred when he returned there in 1992 and led them to promotion back to LaLiga as a player and he achieved the same feat during his first campaign as a manager there.
Atletico success
Former Spain boss Luis Aragones (pictured) was Quique Setien’s manager at Atletico Madrid (Martin Rickett/PA)
After eight years with Racing, Setien moved to Atletico Madrid in 1985 and it was here when he earned international recognition and won three caps for Spain. He also went to the 1986 World Cup, but failed to appear off the bench. He only remained with Atletico for three years, but won the Spanish Super Cup in his first term and also helped them qualify for the UEFA Cup.
Coaching path

— OptaJose (@OptaJose) January 14, 2020
Setien’s coaching career started with Racing, but he moved to fellow Segunda Division side Polideportivo Ejido and then he next became an international manager. For a short period of time in 2006, he was in charge of Equatorial Guinea before a spell as Logrones manager, which ended with his dismissal in 2008. The first break for the experienced coach finally happened with Lugo, where he guided them to the Segunda Division and kept them there before departing for Las Palmas – who were in LaLiga – and leading them to survival. Real Betis took note and appointed him in May 2017 and Setien guided them to Europa League qualification in his maiden season.

Whilst in charge of Betis, Setien was linked with a switch to the Nou Camp in January 2019 after implementing an attractive style of play at the Sevilla-based club. In November 2018, he stunned Valverde’s men with a 4-3 victory. Setien also received a signed shirt from Sergio Busquets during one of these visit to the Nou Camp with the Barca midfielder writing: “For Quique with love and admiration for your way of looking at football. All the best.” Meanwhile Setien’s philosophy has been influenced by the late Johan Cryuff.

— LaLigaSports (@LaLigaSports) January 14, 2020
The experienced manager is a big admirer of chess and is understood to have played against former world champions Anatoli Karpov and Garry Kasparov, although the results of these meetings have not been disclosed. The strategic style of chess can be linked to football and this is a view shared by Setien, who has long been a fan of the board game.

Entry #022
The War on the Windborn
The Kharun Invasion…the Great Avin War…they were both about to be eclipsed to what unleashed next.
The Windborn sought to re-establish their rule once more and vanquish the disarray and anarchy that they blamed the avin for; avinkind, to rid the land of their former Guidances, now turned oppressors, and gain their independence. Their goals were completely irreconcilable. And with the ties between one another beyond severed, and all attempts for diplomacy completely abandoned, it was now an all-out battle for the control of Avia.
Avin had an advantage at first: their vast numbers. From all corners of Avia, their armies surpassed the Windborn’s in 100 to 1. No matter how powerful, there was only so much a Windborn could do to before they were overwhelmed and slain by their former followers. But an avin could only be so strong in battle. A Windborn, on the other hand…
The Windborn had already learned to turn their once benevolent power into a weapon. All they had to do now was to amplify it. Completely unrestrained and motivated to make the avin submit, their control of the Wind went from destructive to catastrophic. Eventually, it seemed there was little need for Windborn armies at all, for a single one of them could now harness the power to obliterate enemy hordes on their own.
Not even the brightest minds behind the avin armies could come up with a strategy to counter their enemy’s unstoppable power. It was as if the Windborn had concluded they had no need for avinkind at all – they could either have them surrender or wipe them all. As their numbers narrowed, so did their choices. It was a fight for the right to exist, and more and more the Windborn seemed closer to be the ones who would earn it.
To this day, no one can explain how something, or rather someone, seemingly so insignificant could have turned the tide of the battle. But it did. That someone who we now know remember as The Great Windborn Slayer.

Second Drone Attack in Four Days Kills Nine
Author: Noah ShachtmanNoah Shachtman
According to the Washington Post, the Obama administration last month cut back on the CIA's drone attacks inside Pakistan, because of the political problems the unmanned strikes were causing the government of President Asif Ali Zardari.
Some cutback. For the second time in four days, U.S. killer drones have struck in Pakistan. The latest attack – the 18th reported just this year – killed nine people and wounded four others, Pakistani intelligence officials tell CNN.
The strike took place not far from the town of Wana, in the tribal region of South Waziristan. It's a "known Taliban and al-Qaeda hub," according to Pakistan's *Dawn *newspaper. And it's "the main stomping ground of Maulvi Nazir, a key Taliban commander accused by the United States of recruiting and sending fighters to Afghanistan to attack US and NATO forces." (You may recall Nazir from his April broadcast, dissiminated by Al-Qaeda's media arm, in which he called President Barack Obama a "black ass." Since then, his crew has been visited by the CIA's friendly Predator outreach team at least twice.)
Meanwhile, Pakistani military officials claim to have killed more than 750 militants during intense ground combat against the Taliban. (U.S. officials say that figure is "wildly exaggerated.")
The Paksitani public is also showing signs of becoming fed up with the extremists. According to a March poll taken by the International Republican Institute, 69% now agree with "the Taliban and Al Qaeda operating in Pakistan is a serious problem" – up from 45% in June. Still, only 10% think terrorism is the most important issues facing the country; 46% said "inflation." And only 24% support "the U.S. military making incursions in the tribal areas" to take out the militants. And 61% still do not believe that Pakistan should cooperate with the U.S. "on its war against terror."
One wonders how the American approach to Pakistan might change, with a new military commander for the region. Gen David McKiernan, the outgoing top general, was always very clear that "as a NATO commander, my mandate stops at the [Afghan] border. So unless there is a clear case of self-protection to fire across the border, we don't consider any operations across the border in the tribal areas." But incoming chief Lt. Gen. Stanley McChrystal has a long history in special operations. Which means secretive raids, cooperation with three-letter agencies – and, perhaps, a different view of how sacrosanct borders really are.

Heterogeneity vs. homogeneity
Hundt, Marianne (2014). Heterogeneity vs. homogeneity. In: Auer, Anita; Schreier, D; Watts, Richard J. Letter Writing and Language Change. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 72-100.
The Letters from settlers and labouring emigrants stem from a digitized edition of a contemporary letter edition made by the New Zealand Company with the obvious aim of advertising life in the newly established colony and thus attracting further migrants to their cause. The editing process is more than likely to have had a homogenizing effect on the language of the letters. The aim of the paper is to describe the degree of variability that is still found in these letters and to assess their suitability as a source of information for the history of written New Zealand English. To assess the editorial influence as a homogenizing factor in the New Zealand letters, a two-pronged approach is taken: (a) a micro-level comparison of variability in existing autographs from New Zealand from a later period with comparable letters from the Wakefield settlements, and (b) a macro-level comparison of variability in contemporary letters from America of emigrants from Lancashire, the so-called Cherry Valley Chronicles.

Corruption Scandal in Burma: The Canadian Connection
By TIN MAUNG HTOO Friday, March 23, 2012
The Voice Journal, a weekly newspaper based in Rangoon, was threatened with a lawsuit last week by furious bureaucrats upset with an explosive story suggesting that Burma's notoriously corrupt Ministry of Mines engaged in a massive fraud when it resold to Chinese interests what was previously Canadian multinational Ivanhoe Mine's 50 percent stake in Burma's largest mine.
Reports of fraud involving the Monywa copper project should come as no surprise to longtime observers of Burma's natural resources industry. Since Ivanhoe and its founder, billionaire Robert Friedland, first entered into a 50-50 partnership with the Ministry of Mines in the early 1990s, my organization, the Canadian Friends of Burma (CFOB), has been extremely concerned by the secretive manner in which they together operated the massive copper project just outside Monywa.
It was a pleasant surprise therefore to read good, hard-hitting reporting about the Ministry of Mines and the Monywa project coming from The Voice Journal. The ministry's swift response to the report by The Voice, which cited an internal government audit, was something one would expect from a rotten agency that for many years operated as the private funding arm of a brutal military regime, using offshore accounts in Singapore to hide substantial royalties from the national budget.
The Burmese democracy movement and the international media has a duty to stand by The Voice and its journalists who are currently facing financial peril merely for reporting what many in the business community in Burma already knew—that the ministry has been knee deep in blatant theft of the country's natural resources wealth.
Recently disclosed American diplomatic cables made available by Wikileaks give support to The Voice's claims that the Ministry of Mines and other government-controlled entities were engaged in a massive fraud regarding funds resulting from the sale of the Monywa assets.
While the whole story of the Monywa swindles is far from complete, both the cables and the leaked details of the government audit come to together to form a detailed picture showing that the Ministry of Mines and a group of regime insiders conspired to engage in a massive fraud. This fraud was made possible in part by the secretive nature with which Ivanhoe Mines, a firm listed on both the Canadian and US stock exchanges, chose to dispose of its Burmese assets.
According to the leaked cables, infamous Burmese regime crony Tay Za served as a broker in a series of transactions that saw Ivanhoe's 50 percent stake in its joint venture sold first to a government-controlled entity in violation of Burmese sanctions and then resold at a steep profit by the Than Shwe regime to a consortium led by Chinese weapon’s firm Norinco and its subsidiary Wan Bao.
The cables say that Tay Za played a “pivotal role” in the negotiations over the fate of the copper project and was set to receive a US $50 million fee for his involvement in the deal. Tay Za, a close ally of Snr-Gen Than Shwe, is the subject of American, Canadian and EU sanctions.
The information contained in the cables strongly suggests that for more than four years, Ivanhoe deliberately misled its own shareholders about its ongoing involvement in Myanmar Ivanhoe Copper Company Limited (MICCL), a joint venture between Vancouver-based Ivanhoe Mines and state-owned Mining Enterprise No. 1 (ME-1).
The leaked cables indicate that Ivanhoe’s senior management was directly involved in the daily operations at MICCL long past the firm’s supposed withdrawal from Burma in early 2007. This is in glaring contradiction to Ivanhoe’s previously stated claim that the firm stopped being involved in MICCL’s activities after Ivanhoe transferred its MICCL stake into a so-called “third party blind trust” in February 2007.
The Monywa copper project was for many years Burma’s largest mine and one of the top sources of revenue for the Burmese regime. The US embassy in Rangoon spent a considerable amount of time focusing on this controversial project. There are more than a dozen cables that mention MICCL and many quote its general manager, Glenn Ford (sometimes misspelled in the cables as Glen).
A January 2009 cable written by the US embassy in Rangoon and marked “confidential” quotes Ford as telling US diplomats, “In September 2008, ME-1 began negotiating with the Chinese consortium over the purchase of MICCL, using regime crony Tay Za as a broker.

'happy memorial day' barack obama Donald Trump donald trump memorial day donald trump twitter george h.w. bush george w. bush larry klayman's memorial day pt So Divisive! remembe how offensive obama was? ronald reagan that monster the obama years tomb of the unknowns
A Solemn Remembrance Of All The Times Barack Obama Did Memorial Day Wrong
Doktor Zoom
I was surprised how many wingnuts thought I agreed with them, because obviously it wasn't really his beautiful White House.
Donald Trump had some deep thoughts on the real meaning of Memorial Day yesterday:
Happy Memorial Day! Those who died for our great country would be very happy and proud at how well our country is doing today. Best economy in decades, lowest unemployment numbers for Blacks and Hispanics EVER (& women in 18years), rebuilding our Military and so much more. Nice!
You know what isn't the right way to mark Memorial Day? Saying "Happy Memorial Day!" on a day that's supposed to be about solemn remembrance. Twitter, not surprisingly, had no end of fun pointing out that the "president" of the USA had just honored the war dead by praising what a great, cherry-picked job he'd done of inheriting Barack Obama's economy. Friend of Wonkette Charlie Pierce was particularly good at it:

Sure, I was a ball turret gunner on a B17 and 22 of our planes flamed on that mission, including mine, but it was all worth it so 70 years later, an overripe gossoon could preen himself on his predecessor's work.
We thought the part where they washed him out of the turret with a hose could have used some trenchant thoughts about tariffs, though. On the plus side, Trump managed to get through the day without grinning, mouthing the national anthem, and dancing around like he had to pee.
All of that put Yr Wonkette in mind of some of the times -- like all of them -- when Barack Obama was accused of somehow dishonoring Memorial Day by doing far more offensive stuff, like talking about the sacrifice and honor of the sacred war dead, but doing so in the wrong location. Let's take a look at a few of the many times Barack Obama told America he hated the troops!
In 2009, Obama laid a wreath at the tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery, and also honored black soldiers who fought for the Union in the Civil War. We're astonished we couldn't find -- in what was admittedly a cursory search -- any rightwing sources freaked out by that in 2009, although later that year Rush Limbaugh did have a hissy at Obama for dishonoring the sacred dead of 9/11 by calling it a day of service, because helping others is socialist, and also some bullshit.
By 2010, though, the rightwing narrative had taken shape: No matter what Barack Obama did near Memorial Day (or any holiday), it was an unspeakable dishonor to The Troops, a stain on history, and the likely end of America. You see, in 2010, Obama took five days off from presidenting to visit Chicago, where he probably seized guns from patriots and distributed them to gang-bangers. That meant he wasn't at Arlington to lay a wreath, and although he did give a speech at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery -- no shortage of War Dead there to honor -- it was still outrageous and insulting, because no white president ever skipped laying a wreath at Arlington except Ronald Reagan and GW Bush, when it wasn't outrageous somehow. Ever since then, Snopes has had to debunk the claim that Obama never, ever laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns, because he just hated America that much. Every year thereafter, he went to Arlington, but that mere detail never seemed to make a difference, because after all, he'd also banned people from saying Merry Christmas.
In 2012, Obama managed to disgrace the sainted war dead by honoring them at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, where he gave a speech. But you see, because he was taking up space at the memorial, that meant there was security, and barricades, so for a few hours before, during, and after the speech, REAL veterans couldn't walk right up to the wall because Obama was honoring the dead, which was awfully selfish of him, according to the wingnut internet:
Many of those who were denied entrance to “The Wall” bear the living scars of their service in that horrific war. They gave the very best they had to keep Southeast Asia from becoming the very thing Obama is doing his best to turn America into–a Marxist-Leninist State.
With his long record of unambiguous hatred for our military, this is the person who closed the Vietnam Memorial from 7:30 AM until 2:00 PM, denying access to veterans and those who truly care about the names of those inscribed on that Memorial Wall. In the opinion of this essayist, this is one of the most egregious, selfish, self-indulgent acts yet committed by this human being. And he closed it so he could give a 15-minute speech which was nothing more than self-congratulatory agitprop. [All various forms of emphasis in original -- Dok Z]
Here is Barack Obama's self-congratulatory agitprop in favor of a Marxist Leninist warrior-hating state, from that very 2012 speech -- from Fox News, no less:
We come to this wall -- to this sacred place -- to remember. We can step towards its granite wall and reach out, touch a name. Today is Memorial Day, when we recall all those who gave everything in the darkness of war so we could stand here in the glory of spring. And today begins the 50th commemoration of our war in Vietnam. We honor each of those names etched in stone -- 58,282 American patriots. We salute all who served with them. And we stand with the families who love them still.
See? Nothing but me, me, me.
For 2013, wingnuts were still mad about Barack Obama dishonoring the Marines by making a Marine guard hold an umbrella over the head of a FOREIGN PERSON and also a BLACK GUY. In 2016, Obama went yet again to Arlington, but before that, he made a complete MOCKERY of America by going to Hiroshima three days beforehand, where according to Dead Breitbart's Internet Home for Perpetual Outrage he profaned Memorial Day Weekend by praying for peace. And peace always means surrender, so Obama effectively dropped atomic bombs on Pearl Harbor, the cur.
https://wonkette.com/516692/guest-post-from-a-u-s-marine-about-barack-obamas-shocking-and-disgusting-use-of-an-umbrella
Even after Barack Obama left office, he still managed to dishonor Memorial Day. Last year, wingnut lawyer Larry "That Judge Was A Jew!" Klayman insisted at WND that an Obama-appointed judge had spat in the face of all fallen heroes by ruling against him in yet another bogus Benghazi lawsuit the week before Memorial Day 2017, and oh what a sad pass America has come to.
And to round out the horror show, just look at this utterly offensive tweet from the former president yesterday:
We can never truly repay the debt we owe our fallen heroes. But we can remember them, honor their sacrifice, and affirm in our own lives those enduring ideals of justice, equality, and opportunity for which generations of Americans have given that last full measure of devotion. pic.twitter.com/pRxwmaMClL
— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) May 28, 2018
Why did he have to use a picture of himself honoring the veterans instead of praising Donald Trump's beautiful economy, huh? Why does he hate America? Why was Obama afraid to even say "Happy Memorial Day" like a REAL patriot would?

Home / Business / 87 Days On, Zimdollar in Dramatic Meltdown
87 Days On, Zimdollar in Dramatic Meltdown
September 21, 2019 Business
The Zimbabwean dollar (Zimdollar) – which comprises the RTGS$, bond notes and mobile money — this week dramatically weakened peso-style against the United States dollar and other base currencies as the authorities struggle to defend the increasingly unstable domestic currency which returned only 87 days ago.
The US dollar was yesterday trading at ZW$20 on the parallel market, while it was around ZW$14 on the interbank forex market.
Government freed the exchange from February 20 as part of currency refroms. It then brought back the hitherto demonetised Zimdollar on June 24, unexpectedly banning the multi-currency system which ensured exchange rate stabilisation and ended hyperinflation in 2009.
For the past 87 days, government has been desperately trying to defend the local quasi-currency through stifling money supply and high interest rates, but in vain. The currency has been battered by poor economic growth, inflation, current account deficit and lack of confidence. The collapse of the Zimdollar has made the peso crisis look mild.
Since last year, Argentina’s monetary crisis has been deteriorating amid a severe depreciation of the peso, caused by high inflation, an appreciation of the US dollar in the local markets, and other domestic and international factors.
The crash of the Zimdollar has had devastating and far-reaching implications on the economy which has already descended into recession with government officials projecting a growth rate of less than -2%.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) — which was in town this week — has warned that the economy could contract by -5,2%.
An IMF team from Washington DC was in the country for the first assessment of the Staff-Monitored Programme (SMP) which runs from May this year to March next year at a time government finances are in a shambles, with a number of SMP set targets having already been missed.
The IMF delegation, which left the country yesterday, met President Emmerson Mnangagwa, Finance minister Mthuli Ncube, Foreign Affairs minister Sibusiso Moyo, Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe governor John Mangudya, officials in the Office of the President and Cabinet as well as directors in all key ministries.
It also met business, labour, civil society and the opposition.
The Zimdollar was brought back without macro-economic stability.
According to the Maastricht criteria, stability is measured by five variables: low and stable inflation; low long-term interest rates; low national debt relative to GDP; exchange rate stability; and low deficits. Reserves and confidence are also central currency stability.
Currency and exchange rate volatility have had a serious impact on the economy and people’s lives.
Standards of living for ordinary Zimbabweans and business operations have deteriorated, amid tumultuous price escalations and rapid erosion of incomes. Annual inflation has surged from 31,01% in November 2017 when Mnangagwa took office to around 288,62%.
However, economist Steve Hanke yesterday said inflation in Zimbabwe has in reality reached 851%. The tumbling Zimdollar has resulted in the skyrocketing of prices of basic commodities such as bread and mealie-meal.
Due to exchange rate instability and differentials, salaries and wages have been eroded almost 20-fold in real terms. Company balance sheets, value, stocks, pensions and savings have also been badly eroded.
The poor have been the hardest hit by price spikes, rising inflation and eroding incomes. The situation has been exacerbated by exchange rate movements amid signs of worsening poverty levels.
The depreciation of the local quasi-currency is making imports even more expensive, undermining prospects of achieving a period of sustained economic growth and rendering the Vision 2030 target of attaining upper middle-income status a pipedream.
The fall of the dollar has resulted in property owners or landlords abandoning the rapidly depreciating currency and charging rentals in foreign currency to preserve value.
Zimbabwe Federation of Trade Unions secretary-general Kenias Shamuyarira said the rapid depreciation of the local currency will worsen hardships for workers.
“Obviously, the depreciation of the local currency means immense and increased hardships bedevilling the entire labour force,” he said.
Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries president Henry Ruzvidzo said the tumbling currency has fuelled instability in the economy.
“The depreciation of the local currency is causing inflation and creating a very unstable operating environment as confidence is fast eroding,” he said. “This increases country risk and discourages investment. The situation is unsustainable.”
Former Finance minister Tendai Biti, who is also Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Public Accounts chairperson, said the depreciation of the local currency is as a result of bad governance and a confidence deficit in the economy.
“We are not producing. There is no productivity. There is no confidence in the Zimbabwean dollar. So what is happening is just a vote-of-no-confidence in this currency,” Biti said.
“There is disequilibrium in the economy, there is too much money chasing too few goods — hence high inflation. This is what happens when you increase money supply into the economy. These guys are overspending. They are creating more money supply and the rates shoot up. This is what happens when you demonetise the US dollar, you commodify it.”
Biti said the crisis requires a political solution rooted in inclusivity and legitimacy to address bad governance and poor policies.
“Whatever they do, it won’t work, there is no confidence in Emmerson Mnangagwa and Mthuli Ncube. Mnangagwa and his government have been a disastrous failure,” Biti said.
However, Ncube said last night there are various ways to contain the tumbling of the local currency.
Top HeadlinesZimbabweBusinessCurrencies

“I have been focussed mainly on the Harare water situation and not paying much attention on that, but as monetary and fiscal authorities, our job is to try and stabilise the situation. There are many ways we can manage this, by managing liquidity and fine-tuning the interbank market rate,” he said. “You should also recall that this is the end of the tobacco selling season and foreign inflows are not very strong.”
Ncube also said that the rules on EcoCash agents, who have been accused of charging extortionate rates in the selling of cash, should be tightened to manage the crisis.
An economist who preferred to comment off record said the situation was spinning out of control.
“It’s becoming an unmanageable crisis. Government has tried to use interest rates; higher interest rates encourage hot capital flows and demand for currency.
This causes an appreciation of the currency, but in this case it has come to naught,” the economist said. “The other problem is poor economic growth; higher growth tends to cause an appreciation in the currency as markets expect higher interest rates when growth is rapid.
“Zimbabwe is reeling from high inflation and this makes our exports less competitive and reduces demand for currency, while causing depreciation.
“Add to that lack of confidence in the economy and the current account deficit. Our large current account deficit is worsening currency depreciation as money continues to flow out to buy imports. It’s a mess.”

The Gun Bill That Is Going Through Congress Could Significantly Increase The Number Of Americans Banned From Buying Guns
End Of The American Dream
When news that a “concealed-carry reciprocity law” had been passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, gun owners all over the nation rejoiced.
But what most people didn’t realize is that there had been a last minute change to the bill that could substantially increase the number of Americans that are banned from buying guns. This poison pill completely ruins the bill, and it must be voted down. What we need is a clean “concealed-carry reciprocity bill” that does not include “Fix-NICS” in it.
Let’s start at the beginning. Last week, gun owners were elated when the House passed a bill that would enable them “to legally carry concealed weapons across state lines”…
Republicans rammed a bill through the House on Wednesday that would make it easier for gun owners to legally carry concealed weapons across state lines, the first significant action on guns in Congress since mass shootings in Nevada and Texas killed more than 80 people.
The House approved the bill, 231-198, largely along party lines. Six Democrats voted yes, while 14 Republicans voted no.
The measure would allow gun owners with a state-issued concealed-carry permit to carry a handgun in any state that allows concealed weapons. It now goes to the Senate.
It would be easy to assume that since virtually every single Republican voted for this bill that it must be a good thing.
But it turns out that a change was inserted into the bill at the last moment that many lawmakers never read. According to Fox News, the bill “contained an 11th-hour change to help states and agencies enter such data as criminal and domestic-violence convictions into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System for gun purchases”.
A few member of the House immediately figured out what was going on and decided to vote against the bill. One of them was U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert…
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) explained on Wednesday that he could not support national reciprocity because House Leadership added the gun control expansions of “Fix-NICS” to it.
“Fix-NICS” is a measure Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), and John Cornyn (R-TX) support. It responds to the Air Force’s failure to report Devin Kelley’s criminal history by expanding the number of people who will be barred from gun possession going forward.
So exactly how many people could be “barred from gun possession going forward”?
Well, according to Gun Owners Of America, even people with “unpaid traffic tickets” could be banned from owning guns under this bill…

National rifle champion in their midst
Today must be highlight the youth shooting sports day at the blog. This is three for three posts on youth in shooting sports. School is out, the weather good, so shooting sports have their day.
This young lady is from Washington State.
From The Spokesman Review:
By Juan Juan Moses
Shadle Park High School senior Elisha Lafond is an outstanding student whom any parent or any school would be proud of. She has accomplished a lot in a few years and seems to be heading into a busy life of excitement and achievement.
Lafond competes both nationally and internationally in air rifle and .22-caliber rifle. It is not a common sport for a young person to be involved in today, but Lafond has found something that she not only is passionate about but also excels in.
The sport has taken her many places around the world and offered her many lessons she can use throughout life.
When she was 12, her father spotted an advertisement by the Spokane Rifle Club for juniors. He signed her up.
Soon, she was hooked.
In 2002, she competed in England. Last year, she was a member of the world championship team that competed in Croatia. Last year also found her competing in Brazil as a member of the U.S. World Cup team. And she won the title of junior national champion at the 2006 Junior Olympic Games at the Olympic training center in Colorado Springs.
So, last year was a busy year for Lafond. But she managed not to miss any schoolwork in between her travels and competitions.
"My teachers are all very supportive. They work with me. Sometimes I take homework with me on the road. And when I come back, I have to work extra hard to catch up," she says.
For 2006-2007, Lafond also is a member of the Bundesleague team that competes in Germany.
She is quite the competitor. Not quite what the anti's would have you believe about what happens when high school kids and guns get together.
What has she learned while training in her marital art?
Asked what she has learned from the sport of shooting, Lafond answers without hesitation: "Patience."
She elaborates that once a shot has been fired, there is nothing you can do but have the patience to learn from your mistakes and practice harder for the next shot.
"You learn to let go and have patience and not be angry with yourself," she says.
Lafond stresses that shooting has taught her to learn from past mistakes and to always strive to do better next time.
Another important lesson she has learned, she says, is the importance of goal-setting, not only for the sport itself but also for life in general...
...Lafond credits her sport for her focus in whatever she pursues. "Shooting is a sport that requires a lot of focus and concentration. I like the challenge of getting the target every time. It has helped me with my concentration."
Hopefully we will see more of Miss Lafond in the 2008 Olympic Games.

PhotoCrew
Fly With Us!
Sure you know what RIAT is all about, for the Aviation PhotoCrew it is the biggest project of the season. We are very privileged to fly a lot of photomissions all across Europe, and most of them are great and superb, but in terms of ‘BIG’ the photoflights in the week of the Royal International Air Tattoo are on top!
That goes as well for the amount of work and corporation needed to fly all these photo join-ups. In the first place our long-time friendship and support from the RIAT Ops team is key. Already at the beginning of 2018 we had our meeting in the offices of the Air Tattoo where we plan our photomissions along with each of the departments that play a vital role in the end result. CAA, ATC teams and Operations all must agree to give us the support and guidance we need to make this magical week happen. The briefings are made build a dedicated airspace, flight level and frequency.
Each of the aircrews will receive this 18 page briefing as a first step towards the photo join-up. The days prior to the photoflights there is at least once telephone contact with each of the pilots, a task that literally takes days! We decided for this edition to operate out of Oxford airport, as it was on the edge of the photozone. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a very expensive decision and at times very ineffective as well…
Ooh well, but the weather was with us on all days for 100%, a fantastic variation in blue skies and white fluffy clouds, a photographers dream and ideal start for some long awaited air to air photography.
Just like in 2017, we did not get the aircraft that were on top of the list as the Romanian Mig-21 was cancelled only a few weeks before the airshow. But what a long list it was again!! Flights started in the early morning, just when the fog was lifting, and lasted until almost sunset. Hardly time to go to the bathroom, change your memory card or have a sandwich, but this is what RIAT is all about for us….flying, flying, flying.
Too many highlights to mention, as literally all of the Air Forces accepted our invitation for a photo join up, but here is the TOP 5 of most memorable moments in the 2018 edition:
- The first and maybe last chance to see the French Marine ATL2
- The first time to join up with the prototype of the Embraer KC-390
- The arrival of two Italian Typhoons in warm early evening light
- The black Gloster Meteor used as an ejectionseat testbed by Martin Baker
- Our first join up with a C-17 Globemaster, that waited for us like 20 minutes because we could not take off on time
All of these join ups take the 12 points, and everybody else gets the 10 points!
The work of the Aviation PhotoCrew doesn’t end after the flying, during the actual airshow weekend it’s always a pleasure to see all the aircrews who already eagerly await to get a first glimpse of the photoresults. Towards the end of the year, a kingsize calendar is produced for the RIAT team with 12 of the best photos on there, as the RAF is celebrating its 100th anniversary the cover will be graced by the Red Arrows.
Preparations for the 2019 photoflights have already started at the airshow weekend, and it is fantastic for us to see that the number of aircrews and Air Forces letting us know well in advance they will attend RIAT, is increasing each year. Pollish your machines, we will be ready! If you like to fly with us in the RIAT photomissions, don’t forget to get in touch with us like…now!
A special thank you goes again to Rich Cooper and his COAP team for superb corporation, and for this edition we also had the very appreciated help from Richard Paver.

Immigrants: Success in Business
by Bahadur Singh | Oct 27, 2015 | Entrepreneur, Entrepreneurship
When immigrants arrive to the United States, they have to combat prejudice and stereotypes in addition to difficult financial and legal situations to achieve success. America promises the American dream and boundless success, but in many cases, this feels impossible. Immigrants are generally regarded as people who struggle to adjust to their new lives.
But many of the the world’s most successful corporate leaders are immigrants. In a highly circulated New York Times article from 2014, Anand Giridharadas argued that success in America comes with being born abroad. He says, “Statistics show that if you are born elsewhere and later acquire American citizenship, you will, on average, earn more than us native-borns.”
I’d like to focus on a few influential business leaders who are not native to where they work. They have completely revitalized their field.
1. Andrea Jung: Avon CEO
Born: 1958, Canada
Jung graduated magna cum laude from Princeton after being raised in Toronto by her Chinese immigrant parents. Five years after joining Avon in 1994, she became their CEO. She has been named one of Forbe’s Most Powerful Women. She is also a non-profit leader and an outspoken supporter of women’s issues.
2. Nadir Mohamed: Rogers Communications CEO
Nadir Mohamed
Born: 1956, Tanzania
Mohamed’s parents were Ismaili Muslims, originally from India. He grew up in Tanzania before the family moved to Canada where he majored in accounting at the University of British Columbia. In 2000, he joined one of Canada’s top telecom carriers, the Toronto-based Rogers Communications, and recently was titled the CEO.
3. Sergey Brin: Google co-founder
Born: 1973, Russia
During the Brezhnev era, Brin and his parents faced strict barriers limiting Jews from getting certain types of work. In 1979, Brin’s parents moved the family to the U.S. which enabled Brin to apply to the University of Maryland. From there, he attended Stanford and launched Google with Larry Page. Brin’s story is an amazing tale of immigrant success.

Folau: What does it all mean?
Home » Defence » Folau: What does it all mean?
Posted By Bernard Gaynor on Friday, December 6, 2019 2:06 pm | 23 comments
As the dust settles on the Israel Folau saga, the real question is not whether Israel received $4 million or $8 million. It is not whether Raelene “I’m-A-Great-Leader” Castle keeps her job either.
The real question is this: has any of the effort put in to protect freedom changed anything?
And this is the answer: no. No. NO.
The stone, cold reality is that all the Folau saga has proven is that if you quote from the Bible, you will lose your job.
Because Folau has lost his job.
This reality is best outlined in an article on this controversy by the Sydney Traditionalist Forum:
Given the questions raised by this controversy (freedom of speech, public religious expression, the extent and enforceability of corporate speech codes on private conduct) it should have been an objective of Folau’s backers to have these ventilated in a court of law. Instead, current outcome offers no resolution, no precedent, and in no way has it secured the civil liberties of people who fall out of favour with Acceptable Opinion. The frontlines of the Culture War have moved precisely nowhere.
Indeed, the fact that Acceptable Opinion on matters relating to sexual morality has not suffered a dent to its hegemony can only be interpreted by the right-minded as a de facto win for the ideological left.
In other words, this is not what victory looks like.
Sure, it’s fun making jokes about Raelene Castle and it seems likely from all the media reporting that Folau has been paid something to disappear.
But so what? This only proves that, if the administration is incompetent and you have a high profile, you might get something to go away. But you will still be exiled.
It’s hardly comfort for the quiet Australians who simply cannot muster anything like the media coverage or support that Israel Folau did.
The reality is that, quite apart from not being a victory, this was also a massive lost opportunity.
I was inspired by Israel Folau’s courage. In fact, I was the very first person to donate to his campaign, although this was by mere coincidence. I just happened to stumble on the Sydney Morning Herald article reporting that his campaign had been set up about 30 seconds after it was published.
And many others were inspired too. Australians sent a river of gold to help him wage this battle. This money flowed because the impression was given that Folau was not just fighting for himself but for all of us. And Folau’s profile meant that this fight would be highly public.
For the first time in a long time, it looked like we had a shot at victory.
With the public support, financial muscle and media spotlight, Folau’s case was an opportunity for those on the side of freedom to actually win an important battle against an incompetent and totalitarian regime.
It was an opportunity to do something that would help all of us into the future.
But that battle has been avoided.
Good luck getting all of those conditions in place again.
Whatever happens post-Folau, you can bet your bottom dollar that the new codes of conducts and contracts that start flying around will make it even harder for the next person caught in the sight of ‘Thought Police’ to defend themselves.
But, you might say, Folau has pointed out that the new Religious Discrimination laws coming our way will help.
Actually, they won’t. On this point Folau is dead wrong.
If those laws were in place, they would have made it easier for Rugby Australia to defend its decision in court to sack Israel Folau. These laws will only make a bad situation worse.
We need these proposed laws like we need a hole in the head. The very fact that these laws will put the protection of Christian Australians in the hands of the anti-discrimination industry should send us all into a cold sweat.
However, given all of this, I still understand the pressure on Israel Folau more than most. I know what it is like to go through the legal wringer. I have been in it since 2013 and will be back in court in February next year.
The decision to settle, with the money on the table, in many ways was a sensible one for Folau personally, although I do believe that his apology was terrible in principle and practice. But, regardless, this settlement does not help the rest of us.
Folau still must face the anti-discrimination industry too given the perpetually offended and serial litigant Garry Burns has now lodged a complaint against him. Folau must fight that complaint and it would be a complete betrayal of all of us if he chose to settle that legal issue too.
I have no idea where this complaint will go. Based on what has been deemed ‘vilification’ in the past, it will not be an easy fight for Folau to win. However, to be honest, I would not be surprised if the New South Wales Anti-Discrimination Board ‘manages’ to decide, for once, that Burns’ latest complaint is, cough, vexatious.
After all, it comes just days after he launched a fundraiser to stave off bankruptcy resulting from his failed High Court challenge against me.
Plus the Anti-Discrimination Board does its best work when it picks on the fringes: the brain-damaged, the insane and the outcasts. It probably doesn’t have the bravery to bear the scrutiny that Burns’ complaint against Folau will bring.
That I could hold as possible two completely different outcomes in this matter merely demonstrates the flaws of this entire area of law. It is chaotic, political, arbitrary and subject to the whims of those in positions of power. There is no principle in it at all.
If the complaint does go ahead, I would not be surprised either to see the ‘unbiased’ Kate Eastman representing Burns. After all, she has represented him previously in cases which have revolved around argument about the content of the Bible.
And who is she? Why, she’s just one of the Rugby Australia tribunal members that found Folau ‘guilty’. Her bias and role in this process should have been raised in court.
But it wasn’t. And now the irony is that, even if Kate Eastman doesn’t appear for Burns, her previous work is still likely to be used in his complaint against Folau.
That is another massive missed opportunity which may come back to bite Folau hard.
Finally, I cannot but lament the lost opportunity that my legal action against the Chief of Defence Force has become.
Like Folau, I was sacked for offending the LGBT mafia for comments that I made in my own spare time and in my own private capacity.
Unlike Folau, however, every ‘workplace’ investigation into my private behaviour found in my favour (and there were 14 of them, all brought against me following complaints or lobbying from gay and transgender activists inside Defence).
On top of that, Defence even had to fork out $25,000 to my father along the way for the abuse he copped from the most senior transgender officer in the military (Defence refused to investigate my complaint about this matter).
Despite all of this, I was still sacked. And my termination notice admitted that I was a high performing officer but, you know, diversity yada yada.
I fought my termination in the courts with almost no institutional support (you might want to ask certain organisations why that is) and with very little media attention. Despite all the odds, I won the first case. This only occurred because ordinary Australians rallied to help me.
Unfortunately, Defence won on appeal. For legal reasons, I cannot state publicly my full views on this decision. However that decision has been heavily criticised in academia, legal commentary and even in the media.
But that is cold comfort to me and it should be cold comfort for all Australians. Now we must all live with a precedent that it is legally permissible to sack someone, even if they have done nothing wrong, because of their private views.
My great regret about this case is not so much that we lost. It is that I have no doubt that we would have won if there was institutional support and a willingness by the ‘mainstream’ conservative organisations to back the fight in 2014.
Sixty-odd investigations and court cases later, I still remain enmeshed in litigation for my views on marriage, family and morality without institutional support.
This is the reality for ordinary Australians caught up in situations like Folau’s. There’s no cameras. There’s no support network. There’s no fanfare. You are left to fight by yourself, pay by yourself and in the hope that your family will be able to manage the stress, anguish and pain.
Indeed, I am one of the lucky ones. I have somehow managed to build a much wider support network of ordinary Australians and I am extremely grateful to each one of you who reads this, prays for me and contributes to the fight. Most other people do not even have this to help them through.
Now Defence is pursuing me for almost $750,000 in legal costs. It has already spent almost $30,000 just preparing its costs claims against me when it knows that it can’t wring much more than $1,500 out of me.
Everything I owned has already been consumed in this battle.
As taxpayers, you should all be outraged that the Chief of Defence Force is so wantonly and maliciously wasting your money for absolutely no purpose at all.
I suppose it’s small change for a large organisation – especially when it is funded by you and me – but it highlights exactly how difficult it is for ordinary Australians to build the firepower that they need to defend themselves.
Israel Folau had the chance to do something really great for Australia. But he didn’t seize the moment.
For once, all the elements for a successful fight were in place. But that firepower has not been used. Instead, it is now being de-stockpiled.
And that means we are all now relying on some unknown little person to have the courage to fight a harder battle sometime in the future. And then, somehow, to win it.
We are looking for a miracle. Like I said, this is not what victory looks like…

Bernard I grieve for you and thank you for your strong stance and the inspiration you have been.I too am concerned that there has not been greater response from Christian bodies. What has happened to you is grossly unfair and should never have happened in Australia.
Many have been asking if ACL has been helping.
I have recently spoken with the ACL and am hopeful that there may be opportunities for the ACL to assist.
I must also thank Lyle Shelton – who I have got to know over recent years – for his support and friendship.
He copped a lot of abuse to write this article about my situation and I am inspired by the courage he has shown to write this:
https://www.lyleshelton.com.au/why_is_defence_trying_to_bankrupt_this_iraq_veteran
Every time I read your emails loaded with info I can’t believe that no one, organisation, government and or media outlet taken up your cause/situation.
The left and godless places like the general media choose to ignore the truth. Why isn’t PETA Credlin, Andrew Bolt, The Kenny Report, Alan Jones, Ryan Dean, Paul Murray and conservative Government ministers taking this on. Also taking on The Human Rights Commission, Kate Eastman and Gary Burns.
It may be possible that Israel Folau was following biblical principles in some way with settling. Somewhere in the Old Testament a king is advised to try negotiations while the other king’s invading army is still a long way off from actually engaging in battle.
Is the reluctance for the ACL to help a Catholic/Protestant thing with the Protestant driven ACL unwilling to support a serious Catholic like yourself?
It may be worth asking how many Catholics have the ACL (or the Human Rights Law Alliance) previously assisted and under what circumstances.
Would it be useful to find out whoever is bankrolling Cardinal Pell’s considerable legal costs (they could possibly be approached indirectly through contacting Cardinal Pell’s legal team) and see if they will help?
Well, I’m disappointed with Folau. I see him as a traitor to the faith. The ACL needs to get off the fence & support you Bernard.
I haven’t given ACL a red cent as I’ve not seen or aware of what they’ve done for anyone. It’s difficult if there’re rats in the ranks.
Folau and castle settled behind closed doors and it cost him “nothing”. I call it a betrayal to those who supported his case. Even if the case had to go to the high court, I am sure the funds would have kept coming for him. Martyn Iles sent a media release saying it was a win.
This should have been the landmark case in free speech, now the Wafen can continue their reign of terror.
Sean Peter coleman
Bernard, have you had any progress with the ACL assisting with funding? I sent 2 emails following a donation to Falou and was assured the ACL was in discussions with you. All followers who also donate to ACL should be concerned if they are not willing to support your legal challenges but were so quick to support a very wealthy Falou and accept the benefits of the vast media coverage. I have not seen anywhere where Falou/ACL has committed to using the excess fund raised for the good of free speech and this concerns me greatly.
Thanks Sean.
I am waiting for a decision from the Human Rights Law Alliance. The ACL itself is not interested although I suppose the more correct response would be that I have been in discussions with the ACL for help since around 2014 and it’s still making up its mind…
Thanks for the rely Bernard, now seems like a good time for me and any others to send follow up emails to the ACL now they have been ‘victorious’ by proxy.

Bernard, I have been following your posts for some years now. I am saddened in the extreme to hear what our society is doing to you and your family. My heart grieves, the Holy Spirit grieves that man’s inhumanity to his fellow man is perpetrated with impunity in high places here in Australia, without a countering force to stop the flow. I remember when you ran for parliament: Cory Barnardi and Australian Conservatives, Lyle Shelton, Kirralee Smith. They must be aware of the continuing flagellation of Bernard Gaynor. Where are they? And where are the media warriors for conservatism? Alan Jones, Peta Credlin, and the like. they can bring to the public cases such as yours, as they have done for Israel and others. Where are they on your issue with this vindictive abuse of power against you. Where is our Conservative Government with many Christians in leading positions? May the Lord protect you and your family, and may you continue to go forth in his power and strength.
Kirralie Smith has always been a public supporter and I am immensely grateful for that and her friendship.
I urge conservative peak bodies to consider the wider ramifications of your litigation war and to support you financially.
I too am embroiled in a long winded civil case that could be described as law fare and based on malice /vengeance.
Not a pleasant experience and there is no easy way to bail out.
The long term solution would have to include law reform so that serial / unethical litigants cannot highjack the legal system to pursue personal vendettas.
Pastor A. Mark
Bernard, I despair for you and Australia – but I am truly grateful for your courage and integrity in continuing to fight this present darkness. With you I am sorely disappointed that Israel Folau did not insist on going to court. As you say, we lost a “best chance” to get a legal precedent for our defense. Praying for you and family and this great Southland.
I do not wish to be overly critical of Folau. These issues are always difficult and those involved also know far more about all the factors than observers. But it is still a missed opportunity. Thanks for your kind words. And prayers!
Spot on Bernard

Can you give an example of where Izzy Folau insulted or degraded anyone? While Izzy Folau is no snowflake, your comment clearly betrays your ignorance.
What about the “snowflake” homosexual lobby?
They don’t just want the equality they have already got, they demand (and get) superiority.

Antony Beevor: why did Ukraine ban my book?
After the Ukraine government condemned his book Stalingrad, Antony Beevor reflects on governments’ desire to alter the past and warns of the dangers of censorship
According to an old Spanish proverb, “history is a common meadow in which everyone can make hay”. It has also long been a battleground for the perpetuation of nationalist myths and political attempts to reshape the past. In recent decades there have been encouraging developments, with many more international history conferences and foreign academics recruited by universities. All of this has helped to reduce the tendency of countries to view the past uniquely from their own patriotic perspectives. At the same time governments of all shades still long to impose their versions of the past through education, pressure on the media and if necessary outright censorship and even legislation.
Motives vary. In France, attempts by the former president Nicolas Sarkozy to criminalise denial of the Armenian genocide were strongly suspected to have been aimed at attracting the votes of the large Armenian community. Meanwhile, Holocaust denial laws in Germany and Austria in 2000 were no doubt brought in with the best intentions, yet the conclusion of the Irving-Lipstadt case in Britain – in which historian David Irving sued US academic Deborah Lipstadt for branding him a Holocaust denier – triumphantly proved that open debate, if necessary in court, is a far better way of nailing the lies of extremists. Irving’s short term in jail in Austria in 2006 simply encouraged him to play the political martyr.
In Turkey, censorship becomes more and more ferocious, and not just about the Armenian genocide, Kurdish matters, Fethullah Gülen and the attempted coup of 2016. Today’s Russia is at times just like the Soviet Union in its attempts to preserve past legends. Yuri Dmitriev, the highly respected Gulag researcher in Karelia, north-west Russia, was arrested on trumped up charges in 2016 of taking pornographic photographs of his adopted daughter and is still held more than a year later for “psychiatric evaluation”.
Most Russian archives, especially the military ones, were closed to foreign historians back in 2000 after the tantalising glimpses we had enjoyed from 1992. Friends teased me, blaming the closure on the storm caused by my book Berlin – The Downfall, but it was not published until 2002. This was also some time after the FSB (the new version of the KGB) had started to investigate the work of foreign researchers. One friend, more than a year after he had published his book, found that in one of the archives every file he had quoted from had been withdrawn on orders from on high. Grigory Karasin, the Russian ambassador in London at the time, and now deputy foreign minister, condemned my account of the Red Army’s mass rapes in the Berlin book as “lies, slander and blasphemy”, although it was mainly based on Russian archival sources. And in 2014, when historian Catherine Merridale and I were in Estonia for a literary festival, we heard that the Russian defence minister, Sergey Shoygu, had finally managed to pass a law condemning anyone who insulted the Red Army in the second world war with up to five years in prison. During his first attempt, six years earlier, to introduce the law, Shoigu had said that the offence was the equivalent of Holocaust denial, which was an interesting comparison.The following year an already bowdlerised version of Berlin was banned in part of Russia on the grounds that it might corrupt the minds of students and teaching staff. According to the regional minister of education, the book “propagandises stereotypes formed during the Third Reich”. My Russian publishers, who have been issuing new translations of my books, are working to find a way in which they can be published in their integral forms without coming into conflict with the authorities. It is not easy.
I certainly did not expect this latest contretemps, following the Ukrainian government’s sudden banning of a Russian language edition of Stalingrad, especially 20 years after the first publication. This was basically because one passage recounts how the SS forced Ukrainian militiamen to massacre 90 Jewish children in August 1941. The Ukrainian government’s “committee of experts” claimed this story was taken from Soviet propaganda. In fact the source notes show clearly that it was based on reliable German accounts, especially one by an anti-Nazi officer who was so horrified that he wrote to his wife to say that Germany did not deserve to win the war. There is also a harrowing eyewitness account of the killings written by an SS officer.
At least there has been one encouraging aspect to the whole sorry story. I received a bewildering array of support from Ukrainian human rights groups, Human Rights Watch in the US, the Canadian foreign minister and the Foreign Office in the UK. (This prompted my daughter to observe: “And what about people who have real human rights problems?” She had a point.) Fellow historians naturally regarded the decision to ban the book as ridiculous. Philippe Sands, the president of English PEN, immediately offered to change his mind and accept an invitation to the Kiev book fair for his book East West Street so that he could put the case there. It was an astonishing own goal by the Ukrainian committee of experts when the country wants to be seen as more democratic and western than Vladimir Putin’s Russia to their north, and, finally, mainly thanks to representations by the British embassy, the committee has backed down. There is no longer any suggestion that the story came from Soviet sources.
They did, however, have one complaint outstanding. My Russian publisher’s translator had changed “Ukrainian militiamen” to “Ukrainian nationalists”, which implicitly tars all Ukrainian nationalists with the reputation of having helped the SS Einsatzgruppen. But now my Russian publisher believes that it was right to change the word on the grounds that the militiamen were operating under the aegis of the OUN, the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists. This may seem a trivial spat over nomenclature, but it is a pertinent reminder of how powerful the grim legacy of the war remains three-quarters of a century on.
Whoever says "education does not matter" can try ignorance
A decision must be made in the life of every nation at the very moment when the grasp of the enemy is at its throat. Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'? A country isn't a rock. It's not an extension of one's self. It's what it stands for. It's what it stands for when standing for something is the most difficult! - Chief Judge Haywood

That's fucking depressing. For those of you who don't know who Beevor is, he's a very well respected and even handed historian whose best known works are on the fall of Berlin and the Battle of Stalingrad.

He is also a hack by the way who is lying even in this particular piece. Russian military archives weren't closed in the 2000s. They were began to open in that time and now they are so open that it created a f...king rennaisance in Russian studies of World War 2. Yes, in the 90s well-respected Western historians were allowed (for small sums of cash) mostly unrestricted access to some of the archives. So the guy is essentially lamenting for the Russian government corruption which allowed him to break the existing laws without consequences. Nowadays, these archives are open to everyone.

Beevor, eh. You can't really blame him for being hostile, I mean, he genuinely tries to hide it, but Britain and Russia are enemies since the revolution, so it shows - history is politics turned into the past. But yeesh some passages in Stalingrad were funny. You can't make a British person fully understand Russians, I guess.
He should've stuck to his "bad Russians" narrative and then wouldn't have been banned in the Ukraine. Too bad he also targeted the Nazi collaborators. Couldn't sense the winds of "pro-European revolution of dignity" changing, the poor sob.

Action to Stop the BU Bio Terror Lab!
by against the BU Terror Lab! 06 Feb 2006
************ Please Re-Post and Distribute Widely ************
Recently there has been information in the news about the bio-lab getting approved. Fortunately the reporting on that information was not complete. The LEVEL 4 Biolab has not gotten through all the hoops it needs to in order to be developed. BU is putting in a building and level 1-3 biolabs in that space but fortunately they still have a lot more to do before getting themselves set to develop the level 4 lab. The Level 4 biolab will be testing incurable diseases and bio-weapons.
Please take an easy step right now and call Senator Kennedy:
Senator Kennedy's Number: (202) 224- 4543 or (617) 565 -3170. Inform him that the placement of this lab in a low-income community of color is racist. Tell him that studying incurable diseases in a major metro area is severely dangerous and BU is not responsible enough to be trusted with these infectious and lethal germs. You can even tell him that these germs have a great likelyhood of being developed into Bio-weapons for the US imperial military. Take whatever angle you would like.

Re: Action to Stop the BU Bio Terror Lab!
by N.I.M.B.Y.
(No verified email address) 06 Feb 2006
Anything planned for this week? The news over the weekend said they were going to start construction on I think it was Thursday ?
by directaction
[here's some stuff from Mobe]
Many of you, no doubt, were dismayed by last week’s headlines about the Biolab gaining Federal approval, BUT WE HAVE BEEN EXPECTING THIS ALL ALONG!
WE HAVE NOT GIVEN UP IN OUR EFFORTS TO STOP THE LAB! Spread the word - federal approval is not the end of the road! Since those reviewing BU’s environmental impact statements were the SAME PEOPLE who awarded the grant to BU, we never expected them to give serious attention to the major questions raised by critics of the lab about its safety, secrecy and lack of community oversight.
Two legal actions are already underway challenging the environmental reviews, and a third is being planned.
Don’t forget that state-wide and Boston regulations are currently being debated which would make what goes on in BU’s BSL4 lab much more transparent. The Fox state legislation would require labs to meet stringent safety requirements and allow public oversight. It is still in the Joint Committee on the Environment and we must insure that it gets to the floor for a full vote. All of our calls to Frank Smizik paid off – the bill is being rewritten again, and “anonymous sources” say that the new draft has a lot of teeth put back in!
Currently, there is a ban on rDNA research in BSL4 labs in Boston. This ban would make it impossible to carry on much of the planned research. We need to make sure that the Boston Public Health Commission fulfills its mandate to protect the public by maintaining this ban.
Most important to remember at this moment is that JUST BECAUSE THE BUILDING GOES UP DOESN’T MEAN IT WILL HOUSE A BSL4 LAB!
In a suburb of Toronto, activists succeeded in keeping the BSL4 component of a laboratory intended as a combined Level 3 and 4 from going into operation. Public outrage forced this outcome. We can do the same in Boston. La lucha continua!
THE COALITION TO STOP THE BIOTERRORISM LAB IS PLANNING A WEEK OF STREET ACTION DURING THE WEEK OF VALENTINE’S DAY! Stay tuned for details!
# DIRECT ACTION
# Next Planning meeting for March 18th
# SAVE THE DATES!!!!
# Rep. Gloria L. Fox Responds to Federal Approval for BU BSL4 Bioterrorism Lab
# Film Series - RACE: THE POWER OF ILLUSION
# Don't forget, Mobe has moved!
The time has come for direct action and lots of it!
We knew eventually it would come down to blocking the bulldozers!
If you are interested in participating in Direct Action or receiving non-violence and civil disobedience training please contact us @ 617-492-5599 or email contactus (at) bostonmobilization.org
Perhaps there is a silver lining to all of this. We have been involved in a campaign that has been able to delay the start of construction for years. Now, perhaps the threat of groundbreaking will galvanize more people into action, which will generate enough publicity to stop this thing!
We can do it! Public opinions have stopped BSL4 labs in other cities!
Next Planning meeting for March 18th
Be part of this event! Join us at the Cultural Cafe, 76 Atherton Street, Jamaica Plain
Wednesday March 8th @ 6:00 pm, and every following Wednesday

REBEL SKY TRIBUTE
March 10, 2006, 5:00 – 7:30
With Howard Zinn, Margaret Burnham and Freda Rebelsky
On March 11 our dear friend Freda Gould Rebelsky is turning 75! From the time she was three years old, standing on her father’s shoulders at a rally to save Ethiopia, Freda has been on the frontlines in the fight for peace and social justice. She has inspired many generations of us – students, friends, and colleagues – with her unflagging energy, devotion and straight talk.
And now we invite you to join us in honoring her.
As many of you know, Freda is active in the Boston area working with organizations fighting for peace and social justice. This includes her special role as a board member of two groups, Community Change Inc. and Boston Mobilization. The two of us are getting together honor Freda on her special day. Of course Freda would never allow us to just throw her a party without a practical purpose. So the proceeds from the event will be split between the two organizations. What a great way to pay a tribute to Freda and celebrate her lifelong commitment to social justice!
To celebrate Freda, there’ll be singing, dancing, jazz music. Howard Zinn, Margaret Burnham and Freda herself will host a free flowing discussion about the themes of social justice that Freda has devoted her life to.
Grace Church, 76 Eldridge St, Newton 02458
With a reception afterwards with food, wine and music!
In honor of Freda’s 75th birthday, tickets are $75 a pair, but also in honor of Freda, nobody will be turned away for lack of money. Pay what you can! For more information, please contact Sharon Stout: sharonostout (at) mahogany-group.com

Rep. Gloria L. Fox Responds to Federal Approval for BU BSL4 Bioterrorism Lab
REPRESENTATIVE GLORIA L. FOX, State House, Room 167, Boston, MA 02133, Tel: 617-722-2810 Fax: 617-722-2846
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – February 2, 2006 - Contact: James Stark (617-722-2810)
“I am deeply disappointed at today’s decision by the National Institutes of Health to approve and fund Boston University’s proposed bio-defense laboratory to be placed in the South End/Lower Roxbury section of Boston.”
“To anyone who has followed this NEPA process this is no surprise. It was clear early on that NIH would not closely examine the potential impacts of the lab or alternative locations. It was clear that it intended to dismiss all environmental and racial justice considerations. When NIH chose in September 2003 to fund 2/3 the cost of the BU lab, its direction was set. The public is ill served by NIH’s self-serving declarations and decisions.”
“It is quite unfortunate that this whole process of placing a facility that will be doing bio-defense work on select agents and pathogens with no known cure has been rammed down our throats by NIH and Boston University. Many questions raised by community members, public health officials, and environmental organizations have gone largely unanswered still to this day. While Boston University claims it has attended over one hundred community meetings, it has given the same boiler plate presentation, and refuses to answer questions about transparency, safety procedures, transport of deadly toxins, and security of the facility.”
“Boston University has not earned the trust of the community to build such a facility. They deliberately lied to government officials when they reported last December that they have never experienced a laboratory mishap in their current laboratories. Only one week after that report came out did a whistleblower alert the public that three scientists became infected with tularemia while unknowingly working with virulent strains of tularemia. These scientists left the facility, came into contact with many people, and soon realized something was wrong and went to a hospital for treatment. Luckily, tularemia is treatable, and is not infectious. Nonetheless, after this cover up was reported, Boston University responded by saying that this was ‘one more example of a lack of attention in the laboratory that we think isn’t up to our standards’.”
“Just recently, through a Freedom of Information Act request by a local environmental agency, we learned of another problem that BU has not reported to the public. This high containment bioterrorism laboratory will be built beside the Roxbury Canal Conduit. A July 2003 analysis done by the Antiterrorism and Force Protection Team engineers found that the Conduit presented a security threat to the facility. Boston University then pledged one million dollars to address this vulnerability. NIH and BU never mentioned this significant vulnerability in their environmental or regulatory filings. It is irresponsible for this facility to be placed in such a densely packed urban community when Boston University has not been forthright with the community and local public health agencies.”
“I am working day and night to see to it that this facility does not get built. If placement of this facility is not reconsidered, I am the sponsor of state legislation to regulate the facility with enforcement provisions that close the lab if work is being done that endangers the community. Currently, conditions exist only where if they again fail to follow their own standards, work can still continue. To allow work to continue that endangers the lab workers to such diseases as Ebola, The Plague, and other diseases with no cure is a recipe for disaster.”
“I urge the public to call their elected officials and ask if they can guarantee the public’s safety in case such a pathogen infects a lab worker. After all, it will be the government that will be relied upon to make the decision to quarantine the public, not Boston University. It is critical that the community continues to make their voices heard.”

This issuse seems to be being ignored by many in the community. Compared to what usually gets posted on imc for variuos issuses like iraq, there seems to be a proclivity about ignoring issues that directly affect the communties of color?

I'm actually shocked no one cares about Dr. King's widow passing away. She was an amazing person, as was her husband, but none of you seem to care. Nothing to really rant and rave about so she falls by the wayside.

..and that was what to do with the bio weapons plant?
nothing at all! What does the "communities of color" have to do with a lab? LAst time I checked we all live in "communties of color".
I may be wrongi, but I think t's where it's being built.
by noah
this lab has everything to do with a community of color. the thing is being built in roxbury/south end and roxbury is a predominately african american community. you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. i, like i am sure everyone else on this forum mourned the passing of Cortta Scott King, however that has nothing to do with this post. if you are going to criticize us, come up with the information that would make it an effective argument and do not digress.
chirst!
which is reality again? Veteran keeps confusing me!
by Betteran U
Veteran is not really a Veteran, nor does he think MLK was amazing, unless he agrees with MLK that wars are fomented by the rich to make money on the blood of the poor. No, Veteran is playing a role, as do many poeople on these lists. It is intended to give the occasional honest to goodness reader the impression that the military is cool with MLK. This is Public Relations 101 , friends. What matters is substance, and many people on these message boards have made a career of declining to address real issues--they are trying to impose their alternate reality on you.
The BU bioterror lab is a BAD thing. We don't gather figs from thistles, nor godness from Bioterror Labs. Bioterror labs produce bioterrors, period. putting one in a neighborhood with lots of poor people is wrong.
But you know what kids? Money talks. And if you don't suck ass to make some, others will and they will bring bioterrors to your neighborhood one day.

"I'm ready to become a suicide bomber": Chilling confession of 7/7 attacker's widow
Fugitive wife of Jermaine Lindsay reveals horrific plan in online poem where she says she is “breathing Jihad”
The fugitive widow of 7/7 bomber Jermaine Lindsay is preparing to end her own life in a suicide attack.
Samantha Lewthwaite revealed her horrific plan in a chilling poem she posted online which tells how she is tired of life on the run and is “breathing Jihad”.
She writes: “I’d rather be receiving my martyrdom, think I’ll get ready... and buy a vest.”
The threat comes as police step up their search for Lewthwaite, 28, known as the White Widow, who has been missing for nearly a year.
The Sunday Mirror can reveal that detectives in South Africa, who are leading the hunt, are investigating new intelligence that she is hiding out with five terrorists in Central Kenya.
A source said: “The reports are being treated very seriously. They indicate Lewthwaite is part of an active cell, and there is a risk they are now preparing to mount new attacks.”
She posted her poem, called Maybe Paradise Tomorrow, using a Twitter account.
In the verses she pays tribute to Aboud Rogo Mohammed, the former leader of Al-Qaeda-linked terror faction Al-Shabaab, killed last week in a Kenya drive-by shooting.
One verse indicates a vow to join him in “Jannah” (Islamic paradise).
She writes: “So maybe tomorrow it will be Jannah, I look around at how beautiful Jihad is, It’s alive in Kenya, It’s alive in me, And I’m breathing Jihad, It’s my time.”
A reference to black clouds echoes a note found when police raided her Kenyan hideout last year.
And she repeatedly mentions Shahada, the Muslim creed which says : “There is no god but God, Muhammad is the messenger of God”.
Also found was a smashed laptop containing the outline of a book, plus notes, and a poem dedicated to Osama bin Laden.
Three months ago we revealed how Lewthwaite, whose husband Jermaine Lindsay blew up a Piccadilly Line train during the 7/7 atrocity, was using a Twitter account to add posts to a terrifying blog.
The university dropout is a wanted woman because of claims that she took part in a grenade attack in Kenya which killed three football fans watching a Euro 2012 game in a bar.
The CIA, Kenyan police and Scotland Yard are on her trail.
Lewthwaite was born in Northern Ireland, where her father Andrew met her mother Christine when he was in the British Army.
Her parents separated when she was 11, an event friends suggest was key to her seeking solace in Islam and converting at the age of 15.
She met Lindsay in an Islamic chatroom while she was studying religion and politics at the School Of Oriental And African Studies in Central London. She married the Jamaican-born carpet fitter in 2004.
When her 19-year-old husband blew himself up, she was eight months pregnant with their second child. She had another child by an unknown father in 2009.

The Global Resilience Partnership (GRP) is a partnership of public and private organisations joining forces towards a resilient, sustainable and prosperous future for vulnerable people and places. GRP believes that resilience underpins sustainable development in an increasingly unpredictable world. We envision a world where vulnerable people and place are able to thrive in the face of surprise, uncertainty and change.
To create transformational impact on the resilience of people and planet, by reducing vulnerability and expanding opportunities for sustainable development. To instil resilience principles and actions in institutional and policy environments and incorporate private sector innovation to reshape the development and humanitarian sector.
1. Create a safe space for resilience innovation & scaling
2. Promote shared learning & mainstreaming of resilience practice
3. Convene diverse voices to shape resilience policy & investment
4. Advance the collective understanding & knowledge about resilience
One or two success stories achieved
Established in 2014, the GRP has in its first phase:
• Accelerated resilience innovations benefiting 5.7 million people through investments of more than US$30 million across 16 countries in some of the most vulnerable parts of Africa and South & South East Asia. These innovations have received numerous prestigious international awards, including: Two UNFCCC Momentum for Change Awards (2018 & 2019), The UNISDR Sasakawa Award (2019), The Munich Re Risk Award (2019), and a UN Global Climate Action Award: Women for Results (2019)
• Advanced the shared knowledge of resilience programming, most notably through GRP’s recent Resilience Insights Report that synthesised current state of knowledge on resilience programming based on GRP’s own investments into resilience innovations and learnings from across 42 partners organisations and programmes.
• Convened diverse voices to build political momentum for resilience at the highest level, most notably by playing a major role in building momentum and ambition towards the 2019 UN Climate Action Summit. This culminated in the GRP convened Building a Resilient Future day at the UN Climate Action Summit, in September 2019. This event was attended by around 500 participants, including government ministers and private sector CEOs and Presidents, and resulted in around 100 ambitious commitments and collaborative actions on resilience, that will be taken forward by this movement.

TR East crashes A North party
Posted By APP.COM staff On October 29, 2008 @ 11:03 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
This was supposed to be the year that four Class A North teams made the SCT final four. That is, until Toms River East decided to keep winning.
In one of the two toss-up games of the day, TR East held off CBA and is the only team outside A North still standing. Not only are the Raiders still standing: they’re still undefeated. That’s 18-straight games without a loss and if they go two more, they’ll have at least a share of their first A North…err…SCT title. Let’s get into the nuts and bolts of Wednesday’s games starting with the East win.
Toms River East 1, CBA 0
Even though TR East was playing on their home turf as the No. 3 seed against an 11th-seeded CBA team, this game sure felt like an upset. I haven’t been putting polls up, but based on the people I talked to and the opinions from those of you who’ve seen a lot of games, the popular sentiment seemed to be that CBA was going to win this game. While A North deserves much of the respect it gets, I thought it was getting too much in this game. CBA might be the better team on a lot of days, but it seemed like a lot of people were dismissing East, and they’ve accomplished way too much this year and in the past three years to peg them as that kind of underdog on their home field. They don’t play as tough of a schedule as CBA, but they finished undefeated in a division that would have handed CBA at least one loss. Probably more like three. So if anyone didn’t give TR East their due before this one, they should now.
Now with all that said, TR East was fortunate to win. They had about three or four opportunities to score another goal, according to coach Ted Gillen, but as far as keeping CBA out of the net, they were fortunate. Joe D’Amico hit the crossbar with four minutes left and the ball bounced right back to Bobby Varga in net for East. Give the Toms River East defense credit, because if they put their mind to shutting a team down, so far, they’ve been able to do it. I thought for sure CBA would score in this game, even against sweeper Tyler Wynn, who is looking more and more like an All-Shore lock. They didn’t and East is going to its second SCT final four in three years. Terrific job by Gillen and his boys. To me, this was the biggest win of the day.
Howell 1, Manalapan 0
Ladies and gentlemen, you’re second biggest win of the day. Howell needed a win in the worst way: they haven’t defeated a winning team in A North all year and they’re still trying to exercise the demons against Manalapan to some degree. You could argue that they’ve been the better team for the last three years now, but had lost to Manalapan in three of the previous four postseason games they’ve played against one another. Make that three out of five now.
I mentioned Howell being a loaded team when healthy, because they sport Cody Calafiore, Billy Kappock and Matt Salvatore on the attack. Today, though, the best player on the field was Chris Katona. Sure, Salvatore controlled the midfield on the ground and even played some stopper; Kappock won every ball in the air in his vicinity; and Calafiore drew the most attention with his ball skills. But Katona had more of an impact on the game than anyone. He scored the game-winner, saved the potential game-tyer off the end line with five minutes left, and he even created a first-half opportunity on a cross that probably should have been a goal. He’s the overlooked player on the team because Calafiore is the skill, Kappock the athlete and Salvatore the versatility. But Katona has been the perfect complimentary piece for this team and has scored big goal after big goal in the last two years. It’s just another example why Howell should be talked about as a top three or four team in the Shore instead of as a .500 team.
A couple of injury notes as well: Howell stopper Connor Doherty left very early in the game with what appeared to be a hamstring injury. That’s why Salvatore played some stopper…Jake Grinkevich gave it a go and looked a bit rusty at the start. He seemed to get used to the bulky knee brace and settle in as the game went on. He made a great pair of saves on the shots that preceded the Katona goal, mainly on the first one by Cody Calafiore. He should be fine for states, but Manalapan is going have to create some offense. The only goal they’ve scored on Howell this year was a pk in the first meeting.
The defending champs remain alive and they’ll have their shot against this year’s top dog in the Shore.
Freehold Twp. 4, Ocean 0
That top dog, of course, is Freehold Township. They kept that title, for now, by pummeling Ocean for 80 minutes. Coach Todd Briggs said he is “ridiculous and meticulous when it comes to scouting” and he had his team ready for what Ocean was going to do. Sure, Freehold Twp. scored four goals, but give credit to the defense today. They bottled up Jacob Rubinstein and Bendjy Cetoute Wednesday, which not many teams have been able to do. Phil Horan has been a major factor in goal for Freehold Twp., but their defense has probably been a little short-changed this season when passing around the credit. It’s been a little inconsistent here and there, but Hani Nasr, Bobby Searby, Connor Egan and Matt Jeffrey have been strong over the course of the year.
The Howell matchup should be a fun game. Both teams really want to play one another and the first two games were very entertaining.
Marlboro 5, Manasquan 0
This score shocked me. Manasquan is a tough defensive team and they played a nice game against Marlboro in the preseason, but they got handled in this one. Marlboro is really clicking right now and I don’t see anyone beating them, even a TR East team that’s been able to take on all comers or red-hot Freehold Twp. or Howell. Obviously, Freehold Twp. can beat them as they’ve already shown, but doing it for a third time is going to be tough.
There was a rumor circulating that Hunter Gorskie broke his arm in the game. I talked to coach Dave Santos shortly after I read it on the NJ.com forums and he squashed it. So, unless Dave Santos is pulling a Bill Bellicheck and trying to cover up his injuries, expect to see Hunter Gorskie take the field Thursday night. A cover-up wouldn’t do much good anyway, as it don’t not fix a broken arm.
Picks coming a little later. The semis should be very entertaining, so if you’re not afraid of a little cold weather, grab some hot chocolate and check them out.

Fighting Back Commission [1 of 2]
Some provisions of this model
policy may require clarification.
Many citizens see no need for officers to own or to carry more than
one firearm. It is true that there
have been incidents in which officers have "planted" their second
firearm on persons they have shot,
in order to cover up improper
shootings of unarmed persons.
But it is also true that there are
legitimate reasons for officers to
own or carry more than one
First, the typical police service revolver is large, bulky, heavy,
and inconvenient for officers to
carry while working out of uniform
or while off-duty. Thus, many officers own a second, smaller "off-
duty" gun.
Second, there have been incidents in which on-duty officers
have been disarmed by criminals,
and have avoided death by resorting to the use of concealed second firearms.
The policy requires officers to
register and qualify with all their
firearms, to provide ballistic
samples of all their firearms, and to
obtain their commander's permission to carry a concealed—but
registered—second gun. This is
designed to minimize various problems involved with the use of
firearms. No officer can "plant" a
gun that is registered in his name
on a shooting victim.
Unnecessarily exhibiting a
firearm limits an officer's alternatives in controlling a situation. It
also creates anxiety on the part of
citizens, and may result in an unwarranted discharge of the firearm.
By providing that the second gun
be concealed, this unnecessary
anxiety will be reduced. No officer
can intimidate citizens by carrying
a second gun they cannot see.
Our policy's provisions regarding off-duty police action and off-
duty firearms also require clarification. Police officers are the only
civil servants who are "on duty 24
hours a day." In many places, they
are required to be armed 24 hours a
day. That requirement is inconvenient for officers who engage in
sports or other non-law enforcement related activities. It also
places great demands on officers
who must remain alert and ready
for action at all times. Tragic incidents involving armed off-duty
police have occurred. Thus, our
model policy eliminates the requirement that off-duty officers be
"armed and ready for action at all
times." Instead, it leaves the decision to carry a gun while off-duty
up to the individual officer, and
states that he or she should not
carry off-duty guns while drinking,
while engaging in sports, or while
out of town. It also clearly defines
the department's expectations
regarding the responsibility of the
off-duty officer to take police ac-

January 29, 2019 ∙ by vmbernard ∙ in Kettering Adventist HealthCare, Health & Lifestyle
Story by Elizabeth Long
Roy Chew, Ph.D., president of Kettering Adventist HealthCare since 2015, is retiring effective February 15.
“I am so thankful for the opportunity to have worked with Roy over the years,” says Fred Manchur, CEO of Kettering Adventist HealthCare. “Roy’s innovative approach and passion for the very best clinical technology, married with a faith-based approach to caring for our community, exemplifies Kettering Adventist HealthCare’s legacy of excellence in health care.”
Chew’s career with Kettering has included a broad range of roles and responsibilities. He joined Kettering Medical Center in 1976 where he served in various capacities including clinical coordinator for the department of Respiratory Therapy, vice president of Human Resources and vice president of Professional Services for the non-nursing patient care and clinical departments.
In 1999, Chew was named president of Grandview and Southview medical centers following the hospitals’ merger with Kettering Medical Center. Under his leadership, Grandview and Southview climbed to the pinnacle of clinical quality, receiving numerous national quality awards. While at Grandview and Southview, Chew helped establish Montgomery County’s first Federally Qualified Health Center (Community Health Centers of Greater Dayton) and the Victor Cassano Health Center. He also helped establish Kettering Health Network’s first series of major primary care-based outpatient centers.
In 2009 Chew was appointed president of Kettering Medical Center. Under his leadership the hospital opened a Level II Trauma Center; transitioned to a Level III B Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to offer more advanced care to mothers and babies; initiated the plans for the Kettering Cancer Center; and was instrumental the development of the NeuroRehab and Balance Center.
Kettering Adventist HealthCare is a not-for-profit network of eight hospitals, 10 emergency departments, and 120 outpatient facilities serving southwest Ohio. The network’s hospitals are Kettering, Grandview, Sycamore, Southview, Greene Memorial, Soin, Fort Hamilton, and Kettering Behavioral Medicine.

It makes intuitive sense to humans that the bigger the brain, the more intelligent the animal. Humans, chimps, gorillas, dolphins and whales all are good examples of intelligence powered by large, complex bundles of grey matter. But this bigger-is-better assumption might be a significant oversimplification. Some recent studies suggest it would be worthwhile focusing on intriguing examples at the other end of the scale.

Most people are familiar with the way bees perform near-miraculous feats of exploration and communication using fewer than a million neurons (we humans have 86 billion). Spiders present another fascinating example. For instance, jumping spiders, those that hunt down their prey, have impressive mental skills. One species in particular, Portia africana, attacks other spiders and insects and is known to have the ability to spot a target, then advance to a position from which it can attack, even if that approach takes the prey out of sight momentarily. Apparently, it holds that information in its tiny brain (which, at about 600,000 neurons and smaller than the head of a pin, merits the word tiny).
Some of the latest experiments with Portia have shown that it can, in a sense, count. If scientists place a single edible spider in its view, it will unhesitatingly choose an attack route that briefly obscures its view. However, if by the time the prey is back in sight, one or two extra spiders have joined the original, Portia will pause. The numbers don’t jibe. These experiments suggest Portia can keep track of one, two and many — a feat that demands mental skills that seem unlikely to emerge from a brain that size.
Comparing spiders whose brains vary widely in size also suggests smaller brains are no handicap. All spiders make mistakes when weaving webs, but small-brained species are no more error-prone than their large-brained cousins.
AS THE SPIDER ADJUSTS ITS WEB, THE WEB FEEDS INFORMATION TO THE SPIDER. AMAZINGLY, IT IS EXTENDING COGNITION BEYOND ITS BODY
Jay Ingram
In a paper published in early 2017, biologists Hilton Japyassú and Kevin Laland suggested that spiders use “extended cognition,” or, in their words, are capable of “outsourcing information processing to the body or environment.”
What comes to mind immediately is storing your grocery list on your cellphone rather than in your frontal lobes, but there are more vivid examples. Octopuses, renowned for their smarts, have dispersed their central nervous system throughout their bodies: their brains contain only about two-thirds of their neurons, the rest residing in the eight arms. Those arms make decisions on their own, like deciding where to bend the arm so that the sucker holding a food item is brought directly to the animal’s mouth. But at least the octopus “brain,” scattered though it may be, still resides within the animal’s body. That may not be the case with spiders.
Japyassú and Laland contend that one of the issues confronting very small animals is how to maintain their smarts. It’s a complex problem. Even though as the body shrinks the brain volume does too, the brain occupies a progressively larger percentage of total body volume, according to a biological principle called Haller’s Rule.
How to cram this organ into the head and how to fuel it as it becomes proportionally larger become serious challenges. In some spiders, like the tiny Anapisona simoni, the brain even overflows into the legs! And reducing the size of the brain’s neurons, while helpful, can only go so far.
The problem is particularly acute for spiders, which, as predators, must execute elaborate hunting manoeuvres. Even weaving a web that does the hunting for them is a demanding task. But there’s more to it: a spider can adjust the tension of the web threads to tune the web to detect larger or smaller prey. It’s a two-way street, because as the spider’s brain adjusts the web, the web feeds different information to the spider. That is extending cognition beyond the body.
It’s tempting to argue that the web, however beautifully designed and responsive it is, is a tool just like a chimpanzee’s termite-probing branch, or even a beaver’s dam. But Japyassú and Laland maintain that the key to an extended cognitive system is that it must work in both directions. The termite stick feeds information to the chimp but not vice versa. The dam itself isn’t communicating with the beaver; the animal is adjusting the height and composition of the dam depending on the materials available and the water level. In contrast, the web itself is informing the spider just as our fingertips inform us about textures they’re touching. We squint or cup our hand behind an ear to heighten our senses; the spider tweaks its web.
As strange as the idea is that we humans might one day enhance our own cognition by embedding a computer chip, stranger still is the notion that we are way behind the curve when compared with spiders.

Provincial Departments Keeping Tabs On Flaring Incident
(Heightened flaring can be seen just over container crane last Saturday afternoon - file photo)
The provincial Environment Department is waiting for a report from Canaport L-N-G on last weekend's flaring incident at the natural gas terminal.
A spokesperson tells CHSJ News the report will be reviewed by department officials to make sure all 63-terms and conditions of the facility's air quality permit were - and - are being met.
Meantime -- the Public Safety Department tells us it's not aware of any structural issues and none of the pressure vessels - piping - nor fire suppression systems were damaged.
A spokesperson tells us if any damage had occurred - the department's Technical Inspection Services would have become involved.
Money for the Huntsman Marine Science Centre
A nice chunk of cash from Ottawa and the Province for the Huntsman Marine Science Centre in St. Andrews. The centre is building a 20,000 square-foot Discovery Centre to replace its existing aquarium. Both the Province and the Federal Goverment announced 2.5 million dollars today to develop the Discovery Centre on the lower campus property of the Huntsman Marine Science Centre.
Poverty Rally in Kings Square
(Fern Bennett with Make Poverty History)
Photo By Jim Hennessy
A sobering statistic from an anti-poverty rally today.......every three seconds, someone in the world dies from poverty. The group Make Poverty History staged the demonstration in Kings Square and spokes-person Fern Bennett tells CHSJ News, some strides have been made to help those living in poverty in Saint John but more needs to be done.
Bennett adds she is waiting with baited breath for the Provincial Government to hand down it's budget December.1st to see if any positive changes will be made to the current social set-up.
Saint John Area Nursing Home Workers Rally
It was a double-feature in Kings Square as nursing home workers rallied to bring attention to their plight as well. They have been with-out a contract for a year after reaching a tentative deal in March. That was dismissed by the Provincial Government who ordered public sector unions to implement a two year wage freeze to deal with the projected deficit. President of Cupe Local 1603 Tammy Nadeau tells CHSJ News, any chance of getting back to the bargaining table are slim.
As for any chance of strike action......Nadeau says their union has been off the job twice in forty years and they don't want to go down that road.
Graham Government Comments on Rally
A representative from the Graham Government was on hand for the rallies. Saint John East MLA Roly MacIntyre says the Graham Government has tried to maintain a good working relationship with the nursing home workers.
MacIntyre adds the nursing home workers pension fund was short and the Graham Government topped it off with $25 million dollars or it would have been bankrupt.
A Resolution in Walsh Case
Attorney General Mike Murphy has announced that civil action between Erin Michael Walsh, the Province and others has been resolved. Walsh was convicted of second-degree murder following the shooting death of Melvin "Chi Chi" Peters in 1975 and sentenced to life in prison with no parole for 10 years. The conviction was upheld on appeal in 1982.
The Province does acknowledge and agrees that a miscarriage of justice may have occurred respecting the 1975 conviction because of the timelines, processes and procedures of the day. Both the Province and City have agreed to pay compensation to Walsh and his wife. Details of the settlement are confidential.
New Homes for Quispamsis
(New Accessible and Seniors Apartments in Quispamsis)
A project that started back in June is nearing completion along the Old Hampton Highway. The finishing touches are being put on 16 new accessible and seniors apartments in Quispamsis. Total cost is $1.8 million dollars and President of Ken-Val United Church Suites Clifty Long says this is filling a need for many in the Kennebecasis Valley.
Long expects the first tenants will move into their new homes on the first week of next month. Ottawa has put $480,000 dollars toward the project and the Province is on board for one million in rent supplements.
Another Hurdle for Residents at Ten Scott Avenue
Just days after residents on Scott Avenue were breathing a sigh of relief, a new problem is on the horizon. Rothesay Council on Tuesday pulled their application to purchase the four mixed income apartment buildings on the street off the table but CHSJ News has learned, one of the buildings is up for bids at a public auction on the 26th in Sussex. The assessed owner is listed as Kenneth and Helen Griffin and an apartment building and lot at 10 Scott Avenue is just one of several properties listed under their name.
Another interesting point is at the bottom of the listing, it says the Provincial Tax Commissioner was made aware of the properties sale on the 16th of last month. Griffin is quoted as saying he had no interest in selling the property to the town.
Rallies to be Held in King Square
There will be a few extra bodies in Kings Square today at noon. This is due to a pair of rallies including one for nursing home workers in Greater Saint John. They have been on the job for a year with-out a contract after signing a tentative deal back in March. That is when the Graham Government ordered public sector unions to implement a two year wage freeze to deal with the projected deficit. The union is asking if a deal can be reached with doctors....what about them.
Also, according to Face Book.....a take action against poverty group also plans to rally in the Square to bring attention to their cause. Things also get started at noon.
Marco Polo Update
Construction on the replica of the Marco Polo project is done for another season. With colder temperatures early in the evening and mornings, work crews are putting away their tools until the spring. Project spokes-person Barry Ogden tells CHSJ News, the vessel is over 90% complete.
The problem is.....they don't have a final resting place chosen for the replica just yet. Ogden says they would love to berth it anywhere between Water Street and Long Wharf but continue to consult with the Port Authority.

The Rise of Multi-Modal
by: Vanassa Fry - District 4 Mobility Manager
As part of the US Department of Transportation’s Strategic Plan 2012-2016 former DOT Secretary Ray LaHood steered the nation towards a course of multimodal transportation that supports livable communities. Not only does multimodal transportation offer safer, more convenient travel it also will help the US move away from our reliance on foreign oil. Sounds like a good plan, right? Well, it’s not as easy as it sounds.
For decades transportation modes have acted independently of one another in the way they’ve been managed and funded. Main Street could have a state highway bisecting it with only a few safe places to cross for the entire stretch through town. A county’s road and bridge department rarely communicated with local public transportation entities and vice versa. Now, with funding getting tighter for everyone and funders requesting collaboration on projects we’re seeing unusual partnerships form with successful outcomes.
Hailey, Idaho is one such success. When the federal government released TIGER II funding Hailey partnered with Idaho Transportation Department, Mountain Rides Transportation Authority, Blaine County Recreation District, College of Southern Idaho and others to garner $3.5M in funds for the Woodside Boulevard Complete Streets Initiative. Prior to the project, Woodside Boulevard, the thoroughfare through the densest part of town, offered little in the way of pedestrian and bicycle amenities, exposing riders and walkers to fast-moving traffic on the narrow street. Drivers were challenged by the lack of traffic signals enabling access to the state highway.
Now sidewalks line both sides of the street, bike lanes allow riders to safely maneuver through the neighborhood, and cars and buses are able to make protected turns onto the state highway. This project and others across Idaho prove that Complete Streets projects are safer, promote economic vitality, are more convenient and offer transportation choices by not singling out one mode as more important than others.
Interested in learning more about how you can form collaborative relationships and pursue a Complete Streets project? Contact your local mobility manager. To learn more about other transportation options in Idaho visit I-way.org. I-way can help you find an accessible and efficient transportation option to get you to your destination.
US Secretary of Transportation Announces Improvements to Infrastructure Challenges
The fight to get real transit solutions isn't always grim. Sometimes the friends of public transit systems make real strides.
Consider this announcement from the US Secretary of Transportation.
"President Obama today [May 17, 2013] signed a Presidential memorandum that will shave months, even years, off the time it takes to review major infrastructure projects. This means that states, local governments, and private developers will be able to to start construction sooner, create jobs earlier and fix our nation's infrastructure faster.
On March 22, 2012 the President issued an Executive Order launching a government-wide initiative to improve the efficiency of federal review and permitting of infrastructure projects.
Since then, the agencies have expedited the review and permitting of 50 major projects, including bridges, transit, railways, waterways, roads, and renewable energy projects.
Federal agencies have also identified a set of best practices for efficient review and permitting. Those range from expanding information technology (IT) tools to strategies--like simultaneous review--for improving collaboration. Today's Presidential Memorandum directs all relevant agencies to put these best practices into effect."
While these measures won't fix every transit problem we have, cutting the red tape is certainly helpful. As the post mentions, several transit efforts are already feeling truly positive effects as a result of these updates.
According to the permits dashboard, there are currently quite a few nationwide transit programs that are reaping the benefits of these changes, including:
The creation of the Baltimore Red Line
The extension of the Los Angeles Green Line
Improved rail service in the northeast
The completion of 4 missing miles of bike and pedestrian paths in Maryland and DC
A Fresno-to-Bakersfield high-speed train in California
Repair of the Devil's Lake rail line in North Dakota
The creation of a new light rail service in Minneapolis
Some of these projects already have permits. Other permits are in progress.
We're certainly looking forward to seeing what CTAI can accomplish with the expedited review process.
Sustainability through Public Transit
By: Dave Doran, CTAI District 5 Mobility Manager
Many consider public transit to be a cost effective and practical alternative to driving. Indeed, public transit services provide citizens with an economical choice on how to move about their community, but these services also provide significant values in terms of sustainability. Public transit use increases both short and long-term sustainability in multiple sectors of our economy including business, personal and regional health and the environment.
The use of public transit can free up financial resources individuals might otherwise have dedicated to the operation and maintenance of a personal vehicle. This has the potential to create more economic stability within the individual’s family / household and ultimately less stress for resources. In the long term, increased use of transit also creates jobs -generating more economic prosperity in a progressive industry and reducing American consumption and dependence on non-renewable and foreign energy sources. The use of other forms of transit, like shuttles and vanpools, is also good for employers and their business development. Having a vanpool or another transportation choice to get employees to work can allow employers to draw a more competitive workforce from beyond the immediate vicinity and from the greater region. It can also increase safety and punctuality to the worksite, and reduce absenteeism and stress in the workforce; all of which increase productivity and generate added corporate revenue. This industry potential can also draw more businesses to Idaho communities creating increased regional economic prosperity.
By taking cars off the road, public transit also reduces carbon dioxide and other harmful particulate matter emitted into the atmosphere through vehicle emissions, which improves regional air quality and citizen health. In addition, most public transit trips begin and end with a pedestrian or bicycle trip to and from the transit stop. Consequently, those who use transit as a regular source of transportation are more likely to be physically active than their single-occupancy-vehicle driving counterparts. This is a critical thought when you consider that in 2011, 27% of Idaho adults were considered obese and that over $320 million dollars was spent in Idaho in 2010 on related health concerns (Landis Nov. 9, 12). Having a more physically active society will ultimately reduce obesity rates and expenditures on other health related concerns, sustaining a healthier environment on multiple planes.
Public transportation services also provide a sustainable contribution to communities by ultimately preserving tax-based infrastructure and departmental expenditures dedicated to maintaining roads and bridges. This is essential for states like Idaho who have large transportation networks covering many miles of roads, with a small population base to adequately support such infrastructure.
Additionally, public transportation industries are becoming more sustainable in and of themselves. Through the incorporation of intermodal transit facilities,and moving one step further by implementing architecturally certified Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards for those facilities, transit agencies like Pocatello Regional Transit (PRT) are paving the way for sustaining public transit services in a strained national economic state. With the utility cost savings PRT will soon realize in their LEED –Silver certified intermodal transit facility, public funds can potentially be dedicated to expand and improve service operations. Additionally,considering technological advancements in alternative fuel sources like compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid propane auto-gas, transit agencies have additional opportunities to increase their already dedicated involvement in sustaining the health, environment and economic stability of our country.

AASHTO's Future of Transportation for 2012: CTAI's Take
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) identified its list of top ten transportation topics for 2012. Below is our take on those that apply to CTAI’s members and Idaho:
1. Enacting a long-term transportation bill: CTAI will continue to work with Idaho’s congressional delegation and staff to push for the enactment of a long-term transportation bill.
2. Managing in lean times – addressing the problem of the nation’s aging bridges, highways, and transit systems with stagnant or reduced funding: As one of two states without a dedicated source of transportation funding, and given the current economic times, CTAI is working to educate Idahoans in support of transportation funding. We received a grant to develop the I’M4CTAI campaign in which we sign up at least 1,000 transportation supporters to advocate on behalf of Idaho’s transportation needs and sources of funding.
3. Responding to and planning for natural disasters: CTAI has been working with the Idaho Department of Homeland Security and is now working with the Idaho Department of Water Resources to identify Idaho’s transportation resources for recovery and rebuilding – in the event of a natural disaster in our state. Our partnerships with these agencies will help mobilize the vehicles needed to help get Idahoans out of danger and to help transportation providers rebuild after the disaster.
4. Reducing traffic deaths: CTAI supports safer roads and reduced deaths on Idaho roads and highways. CTAI will provide support for any legislation that improves traffic safety for Idahoans.
5. Increasing the visibility of transportation as an issue in the upcoming presidential campaign: CTAI will work through national agencies in the education of long term transportation needs for our politicians.
6. Generating new ways to fund transportation: As part of the I’M4CTAI campaign, CTAI will work to mobilize advocates and partner agencies in support of a local option tax authority to help cities and counties fund transportation needs in Idaho.
7. Advancing intercity passenger rail
8. Engaging the business community in support of transportation: CTAI mobility managers and staff will continue to educate Idaho Businesses on the benefits of improving transportation options such as public transportation, carpooling, vanpooling, and ridematching.
9. Serving a growing elderly population, both rural and urban: CTAI mobility managers and staff will continue to partner with senior centers and agencies that serve the elderly population in identifying opportunities and partnerships that will lead to improved transportation options for seniors.
10. Responding to new stormwater reforms and other environmental regulations.
google commented on 30-May-2012 03:43 PM
We need to continue to come together to coordinate, develop efficiencies in the system we have, and build partnerships to get where we’d like to be. In addition, we need to have a variety of funding mechanisms to improve public transportation and mobility
in Idaho.
This program represents less than 2 percent of all federal transportation spending and for 20 years has been the primary funding source for sidewalks, crosswalks, bike lanes, and trails.
Other states have granted significant local option taxing authority to their cities and those cities have chosen to adopt them. In addition to establishing whether or not local option taxes are allowed as well as the types of local option taxes available.
Idaho allows its cities only very limited local option taxation authority. Currently, only a few Idaho cities have the option of adopting a resort tax
Transportation Reauthorization Extended...Again.
The Community Transportation Association of Idaho commends Congress for extending the nation's surface transportation at current funding levels.
"The six-month extension of federal highway and transit programs approved by Congress this week ensures the continuation of critical services and thousands of job-creating infrastructure projects across the nation," said Heather Wheeler, CTAI executive director. "We congratulate the leadership on both sides of the aisle in the House and Senate for their hard work to bring about this extension. We encourage Congress and the Administration to develop and pass a robust, multi-year surface reauthorization bill over the next six months. CTAI is prepared to work with the Idaho Congressional Delegation with the development of this bill."

High school football 2018: Elyria has new home and new hope
Tim Gebhardt | The Chronicle-Telegram
Published on Aug. 6, 2018 | Updated 6:40 a. m.
Ely Stadium will have a new entrance just south of the present entrance. Crews are beginning the work on the new entrance and parking lot close to the new facility.
KRISTIN BAUER / CHRONICLE
Pat Mozzochi of Valentine Contractors in North Canton, works on the entrance monument to the Elyria Athletic Complex on Oberlin Road in Elyria Aug. 2. The new Elyria High football stadium will open Aug. 24 against Avon Lake.
STEVE MANHEIM / CHRONICLE
ELYRIA — It’s a new era for Elyria High’s football team.
The team will play in a new home for the first time in 90 years after the retirement and demolition of old Ely Stadium.
The new venue is just a few thousand feet south of the original one but the difference is drastic — artificial state-of-the-art turf, new locker facilities, new stands, new scoreboard and new press box. It’s Phase 1 of the development of the Ely Stadium area that eventually will have upgraded softball, baseball and tennis venues. The boys and girls soccer teams will also play on the new field.
“I’m excited. I’m looking forward to it,” senior wide receiver and cornerback Adrian Martin said. “The field that we had was old and now it’s torn down.”
“I’m glad our old stadium’s gone,” senior tight end and safety Noah France said. “My brothers (Tad and Seth) played on it and my dad, too. I’m sorry but I really like what they’re doing. It’s really nice. Everybody’s excited about the first game. Hopefully we’ll have a big crowd.”
“I’m excited for it to be done,” senior wide receiver Izaiah Thomas said. “We want to at least get to .500 and make the playoffs.”
Second-year coach Sean Arno is eager to see his team play on the new turf, as well. And he’s especially eager to put last season’s 1-9 record in the rear view mirror.
“We had a good offseason,” Arno said. “Kids worked hard in the weight room and we had good offseason attendance. It takes time to build that culture in that year-long process of being in the weight room and working together.”
Elyria finished with less than 1,000 total yards rushing last year but did throw for nearly 2,000. The Pioneers lost their leading rusher and passer in Dontae Beckett, as well as their leading receiver — Deviian Williams — to graduation. They also lost leading tackler and third-team All-Ohio linebacker Qwanda Woodson to non-football related issues but Arno is confident he has the personnel to take their place.
Elyria returns 11 starters — five on offense and six on defense.
“We were pretty undersized last year (on the line),” Arno said. “We had to be easily the smallest team in the league by 100 pounds. Once we get through our scrimmages (this week at Midview and Avon), we’ll know more of what we have to work on.”
“We feel pretty confident,” Martin said. “We have a new offense, new defense. We’ve been in the weight room all summer. We’re looking forward to it.”
“It takes time,” Arno said. “That old adage of it taking three to five years is true. I know there was success here before but to do what we’re trying to do — you’re starting to get some roots and the big thing is building relationships with the kids. As the middle school athletic director, it helps me build the bridge for these kids coming in. I know these kids by name. We’re really excited about what we’re doing because we have all the teams now combined to one seventh-grade and one eighth-grade (team).”
Arno knows it will take some growing pains and patience. The team bonded and stuck together over a tough offseason in which they had to deal with the death of junior wide receiver Brenden Rich-Beckett. It hasn’t been easy getting to this point.
Arno began his coaching career leading Elyria’s freshman team in 1998 under Dick Kerschbaum. He moved on from there to turn a couple of losing programs into winning ones. His last stint before Elyria was three years at Wellington where he improved the Dukes from 2-8 in his first season to 3-7 and 5-5. Offensively, Wellington averaged over 33 points a game in 2016.
France and Thomas believe this year’s team will be much better on both sides of the ball.
“We need to know our assignments,” France said. “We’ve got a lot of young guys that are really talented. I think they’ll help us a lot this year. We’re not too deep in seniors but the offense we’re running is really good. We’re aiming to be over .500 this year. We’re young but we’re talented. I’m really excited about this season.
“We’ve got a good, young running back (sophomore Jakeem Atkinson) and our offense is designed to really attack the defense,” Thomas said. “We’ll be more aggressive. Last year we kind of struggled with that. We couldn’t put the ball in the end zone.”
Arno said he has a reason for feeling good about this year.
“I wouldn’t be as confident if they hadn’t worked so hard in the offseason,” he said. “They put the time in.”

The Alan Gross case has provoked a lot of discussion for nearly five years, but until this new star of the Cuban opposition movement came along, it didn’t occur to anyone that Mr. Gross’ precarious health is apt for ridicule. Yesterday, “Let Alan rot!” And later, a joke on Twitter: “Alan Gross will be taken soon from Cuba to Africa to fight Ebola: if he survives, he'll be free. If he dies, USAID will take him to U.S.” If you set out to discredit the opposition movement from within, could you do any better?
VOA: Cuban doctors practicing in U.S.-built hospitals in Liberia. Wait ‘til the Helms-Burton purists get on this one…
Speaking of Helms-Burton, the President of Bacardi (!) talks about investing and doing business in Cuba when the embargo is lifted, without mentioning the law’s myriad conditions.
El Nuevo Herald: In Miami, dissident Guillermo Farinas talks about the state of the opposition movement, the parts he views as legitimate and not, and he tells of his fear for his life. He also says, without naming names, that someone in Miami tried to buy him off and did the same with Oswaldo Paya years ago. Paya’s widow says it isn’t true. Farinas came to Miami to attend a workshop on human rights and nonviolent action.
At the UN, how the Obama Administration defends the embargo.
A top USAID official slams the Times for failing to note Cuba’s responsibility for jailing Alan Gross. Don’t hold your breath waiting for USAID to admit responsibility for sending him into a predictable disaster.
Aron Modig, the Swede who was in the car in which Oswaldo Paya was killed, slept through the whole thing, and remembers nothing, is now a member of Parliament. The Herald recently asked the driver, Angel Carromero, about Modig; Carromero said: “There were times when he was asleep but he was the copilot. If he chose to remain quiet and turn the page, well I don’t share in that sentiment. I respect it but I’ve chosen a more complicated road and one with worse consequences for me but I couldn’t stay silent.”

One of the things that I see some people point out as a negative about the show is that it was just a bunch of ideas that David and Mark had built up over the years that have nothing to do with Twin Peaks, but that seems like a good thing to me and something they did with the original series. Whether you're looking at the transition out of the Monroe bio or Lynch's idea for "I'll Test My Log with Every Branch of Knowledge" creating one of the most memorable Peaks characters. There's nothing wrong with disliking those ideas they had, but painting pulling together prior ideas that they may have been been mulling over as a negative has always seemed odd to me.

Whether you're looking at the transition out of the Monroe bio or Lynch's idea for "I'll Test My Log with Every Branch of Knowledge" creating one of the most memorable Peaks characters. There's nothing wrong with disliking those ideas they had, but painting pulling together prior ideas that they may have been been mulling over as a negative has always seemed odd to me.
Especially because they wouldn't have just thrown in any old thing, but the ideas that they could see fitting in with what 'Twin Peaks' is to them. And both Mark and David had veto power, so they would not have allowed the other to sabotage the TP-ness of the thing.

That's not really the issue. The issue is the end result looks like the Twin Peaks name is just painted on to secure budget. Like the they abused the persistent fandom to do their pet art project. I paid for a subscription service to see Twin Peaks, and I feel ripped off.

Of course it is, and I fully acknowledge they don't owe me anything just because I'm a fan of the original Twin Peaks. I just feel like advertising under the name Twin Peaks, claiming it's Cooper's journey back into Twin Peaks and then delivering Dougie Show with a dozen pointless side characters is false advertising.

I too was disappointed with a lot of the Return, like the roadhouse scenes, the slow pacing, the lack of character development. Like Ray Wise I wanted it more like the Original or like FWWM, I wanted it more about the original cast members. I'm probably wrong for that but its how I feel, I also was way too exited for it before it came out, I was kind of obsessed and wanted too much from it. However I paid $40 for a two month subscription of Showtime and HBO and got 18 hours of new Twin Peaks, I wasn't ripped off at all, it was something I thought would never happen and I would pay way more to see another season or movie.
(I've only watched the Return once, each episode a few times as they came out, so I'm hoping to like it more, the next time I watch it, also there were some parts I really enjoyed and anything Twin Peaks is a dream come true for me even if I wanted it more like the original)

But what was Twin Peaks?
At the time, similar things were levied against it; during season 1, come the night of the finale, it was popularly hated as a show that billed itself as a procedural that had the audacity to not wrap up its case. People acted like they were robbed of a solution when instead Cooper was shot in a cliffhanger, having built up expectation a solution would come, mostly because the media had themselves built up that expectation, from thin air. Then we all know what happened--it was forced to appeal to the desires of the consensus, then abandoned by those who cared only about the idea of resolution, eternally unsatisfied. The original show was full of 'pointless side characters' like Cappy, the bank teller who takes 10 minutes to step three feet, Toad, and the Pilot especially is a litany of side characters who never return again. Watching the S2 opener with friends, there was intense bewilderment that it wasn't how they expected. Many dropped out at the first hint of supernatural goings-ons that seemed irreconcilable with just being a dream. Senior Droolcup made people ANGRY because of how slow he moved. Why did Donna suddenly have a redheaded sister?
TP was a show with character, certain genre trappings, and conventionally enjoyable elements. But above all it was the unique manner it was written with, that Frost and Lynch shared, that seemed to me the sole reason for them to care about creating it, and that gave it any lasting quality. It was subversive in its core.
S3 is much like FWWM. Loathed and loved in equal measure, and really stubborn. If FWWM was written by consensus, nobody would have made it a brutal experience where you almost feel you share in Laura's victomhood. But I can't imagine it any way other than totally dedicated to being honest about her, and immortalizing what happened to her that all along, in the lived reality, wasn't just a plot device for a sprawling writing style. S3 does follow Cooper, and is his journey back, taking for consideration and sticking with it the idea that leaving the Lodge is not so easy and not so comforting that it can be easily undone in an immediate deus ex machina. And just like Laura's experience being hellish and confusing, it feels more honest and makes more sense (to me at least) that Cooper is scarred, and the show, in a way, is also scarred. It never could be anything but, given the murder the original series had to endure, and given the metatextual approach that seemed an important and consistent part of the franchise. I find it pessimistic to treat such creative liberties as tedious when it really feels to me an exultant act, and always has. Even the revelation of Leland was treated in this way, though it was a decision from above; I always found it to be so horrifying that it was like I was seeing something I should have never wanted to see.
Recipe not my own. In a coffee cup. 3 TBS flour, 2 TBS sugar, 1.5 TBS cocoa powder, .25 TSP baking powder, pinch of salt. 3 TBS milk, 1.5 TBS vegetable oil, 1 TBS peanut butter. Add and mix each set. Microwave 1 minute 10 seconds. The cup will be hot.

It’s a piece of art and as with any piece of art some love it, have no feeling one way or the other about it, or hate it. It’s unfortunate that that’s the way it goes and sucks that it didn’t satisfy everyone though, that would’ve been quite a feat. Personally, I love about 85% of it, am ambivalent on about 10%, and dislike about 5%.
And I will say if you plan to watch it again, try to watch 2-3 episodes per night and at watch them every night or every other night if you can. I wouldn’t trade the week to week experience for anything, but it really works much better watched that way.

Hey, you feel how you feel. I was just commenting because that seemed a lot like how they wrote the Pilot, just took the things they like and made them Twin Peaks and it seems like that's what they did again.

I’m starting to wonder if the best way to watch Twin Peaks is in reverse - with The Return first, followed by the tv series, and ending with FWWM. I’ve started rewatching the original series after a rewatch of The Return and oddly it seems to flow in contrast to how foreign and alien The Return felt watching it after 25 years since the tv series ended. I have a friend that has never seen Twin Peaks, so am hoping to use her as a guinea pig to see if this works.
For me it worked because the tv series picks up after Carrie’s awakening and we hear Sarah’s cry of “Laura” in the first part of the tv series - almost like the show is a recount of Carrie’s “real” life.

I'm not sure I agree but there used to be a guy posting in here preaching before the Return came out that the Return was the beginning and we had already seen the end....Maybe he wasn't just some crazy loon.
With all the time travel and prequels and time loops its really hard to say forsure…..I guess the real question is, when did Cooper 1st go into the lodge...

I couldn't find this posted anywhere, but you can see the Combined Dialogue and Continuity Lists for all 18 parts here https://12ptcourier.com/screenwriting/2018-emmy-scripts-download-pdf-all-nominees/
Since we don't know who wrote this there is probably nothing actually important, but here are a couple things that were interesting to me on skim
- Part 14 labels the girl who saw Billy last as Experiment
- Cooper is labeled Dougie throughout, even in the opening Fireman scene and after he becomes Richard, while Mr. C is labeled Dale
- Diane sees her Doppelganger in Part 18
- Description of BOB being vomited "Man vomits as he is floating in a warp hole. Push in to vomit. CU molecules."
- Laura is called Laura everywhere except for after Dougie crosses over where she is Carrie
- from Andy's vision "A Mysterious Creature starts to appear. A baby vomiting appears as the Mysterious Creature disappears."
- Naido is referred to as Blind Woman in some parts and Naido in others
- American Woman is labeled Naido
- The golden pool is "Hole with water turning clockwise" when Mr. C approaches it
- Frogmoth just called Creature
- Mysterious Creature is how Experiment is labeled
- Phillip Jeffries resides in the White Lodge
- The scene where Naido becomes Diane - "Reverse to MCU Blind Woman.... Smoke coming out from her head. Dissolve to push in MCU Blind Woman. She is in a room. Her Head opens and she disappears. A mirror Floats and Diane's face appears. Intercut to MCU Diane. Blind woman turn into DIane."
- When we enter the FWwM portion of Part 17 "EXT. Palmers House- Flashback." and the Palmer House is sometimes called just House or White House
- For some reason, Part 8 has the part 17 credits
- The end of Part 18 is described as follows "WS Alice's House. Lights go out. Fade to black. Fade in MCU Dougie and Laura. Laura whispering something at Dougie. Fade to black."
I'm sure there's more of note, but my lunch break is over.

Possibly a combination of errors / mixups and rewrites? I see that "Doc Hayward" delivers Jacoby's lines during the shovel drop-off.
Not taking any calls.

That's what I was wondering. With no author, they could be based on Cori Glazer, Lynch, and Dunham's script/editing notes or they could have just been written by a Showtime employee. And they're all dated 3/27/17 but there's no way they were all written on the same day, so I'm not sure if that's the day they were given to the Emmy's/Showtime or something else.
While it won't be anything like reading the real script, I think I'm going to type this up in Fade In just because I'm interested to see how it reads vs how it watches.

I managed to get through Bill's arrest if anyone wants to take a look and provide feedback. I tried to keep it as close to verbatim as possible, but in some places I added a "to" or slightly adjusted phrasing.

When it was light, he waited outside Shanda's door. It seemed like a long time until she came out, but the sun was still very low in the east. He fidgeted, and finally said, "I have to piss, and I don't know where, and-"
She giggled. "I told you- -the room is at the far end of the hall under the stairs. Didn't I tell you?"
He didn't remember. Certainly he hadn't understood. He thanked her and ran toward the stairs.
"Lock the door when you're inside," she whisper-called.
The room below the stairs had windows too high up to look out, and a door with a latch. Inside a stream washed into a basin at his chest level, then spilled over into a trough on the floor. It was all clean, and nothing smelled. When he came out, there was a man waiting outside the door. He had the round ears of a kinless, and he looked like the man who had brought Samorty's armor. He didn't say anything to Whandall as he went inside.
They ate in the kitchen. Serana fussed over them and didn't seem surprised to find Whandall was still there.
"We're going to play in the big park," Shanda told Serana. "Will you tell Miss Batty for me?"
Serana made disapproving sounds. "I'll tell Miss Bertrana you called her that." She didn't sound like she meant it. "You'll need a lunch. I'll fix up something. You be back by suppertime."
They went to the courtyard where the clothes were drying, and Whandall selected a length of rope. He went to the tree branch and threw the rope over it and tied knots in the rope. With the rope there, he felt safer, because he thought that once he was over the wall no one could catch him in the chaparral. Not without magic.
The Lords did magic. Everyone said so. Lord Qirinty made cups dance and pulled a dagger from thin air, but it was Lord Qirinty who had wished they could do real magic. But the stove was magic. It all made Whandall's head hurt. Learning things was not the same as understanding them . ..
He started to climb the rope. When he got on the branch, he saw Shanda was climbing up. She wasn't good at climbing.
"Help me up," she said.
He reached down and took her hand and pulled her up to the branch. Then he looked around. One of the men with shovels had seen them climb up, but he only went back to work.
"Can I get back in this way?" she asked.
"You're not going out."
"Yes, I am."
"Shanda, the chaparral is dangerous. You'll get hurt and your stepfather will kill me."
"I won't get hurt if you show me what to do."
"No." He crawled along the tree limb until he was over the wall. She came right behind him. "No," he said again, but he knew it was no use. "Go back and pull the rope to the outside of the wall."
Just near the wall the plants seemed weak and almost lifeless, but farther away they grew thicker. In a mile they'd be luxurious. Two miles farther were the first of the redwoods. "Those are wonderful," he told her. "Wait till you see them close."
But she wasn't avoiding the plants. He stopped her. He showed her lord's-kiss and nettles and thorn bushes, and three kinds of touch-me. "Three leaves," he said. "Three leaves and white berries, and it doesn't just sit there. Watch." He saw a stick on the ground and examined it carefully before he picked it up. Then he rubbed his hands on one end and held it by the other end, moving it closer and closer to a large vine. At a hand's distance, the vine moved just enough to brush the stick.
Whandall showed her an oily smear on the stick. "You wouldn't want to touch that."
"Would it kill you?"
"No, it just makes you swell up in bumps. The vine can kill you. Things it touches only hurt you."
She still wanted to move too fast. He showed her some of the scars the plants had left on him when he was with the foresters. He made her follow just in his footsteps, and whenever she wanted to look at something, he slopped.
There wasn't the ghost of a chance they would reach the redwoods today.
At noon they stopped and ate lunch, then started hack. Whandall took his time, pointing out plants even if she'd seen them before. He 'd forgotten often enough, and Kreeg had had to remind him...
She held a branch at the broken end. Glossy red-and-green leaves grew at the tip. "What would happen if I rub that stick on my stepmother's chair?"
"Not the stick, the leaves. Shanda, really?"
She nodded, grinning.
"Well, she won't die. She'll itch and scratch."
"It's magic?" Shanda asked. "If it's magic it won't work at all inside the walls. That's what my stepfather says."
That would explain the cook fires, Whandall thought. But not Qirinty's dancing cups.
"I'm going to try it," she said.
He stood under the rope as she climbed it, in case she fell. She waved from the top and was gone.
It had been a glorious day.
He was out of the chaparral before the light of sunset died, but the night was turning misty. When Whandall reached the hilltops, he could see fog curling in from where the harbor had been. He watched it for a time, humped above the land. Then he heard shouts. Had someone seen him? Water Devils, perhaps someone worse. He couldn't see anyone, but he ran into the fog, running as hard as he could until he was exhausted.
Fog was all around him as he caught the stench of the Black Pit. The Pit itself was not to be seen. What he saw was dark shadows racing toward him.
He ran back the way he had come, but he was too tired to run far. When his breath ran out he trailed to a stop.
He hadn't heard a sound.
He'd seen... what had he seen? Dogs or wolves, but huge. But nothing chased him now. He had to get past the Pit to get home, and someone had chased him up the hill. A band was more dangerous than shadows.
The shadows came again as he crested the hill. This time he watched. Bent to pick up a sharp-edged rock in each fist, and watched again. He wished with all his heart that he already had his Lordkin knife. He had outrun them before and he could again... but they were only shadows. Wolf-shaped shadows, and something much larger, racing silently toward him.
They were less real as they came near. Whandall yelled and swung his rocks to smash skulls, and then he was among them, in them, and breath-
less with wonder. They were pockets in the fog: half a dozen wolf shapes all merged now into one thrashing bubble of clear air. The larger shape was a cat as big as Placehold's communal bedroom, armed with a pair of lungs very like Lordkin knives. Then that too was part of the bubble, thrashing as it fought the wolves, and Whandall could watch the shadow shapes of huge birds wheeling above the misty slaughter. They'll never believe me. But what a day!

The Vic - Chicago, USA
Chicago, Feb. 16, 1997
silverchair is young and it's ready
By JAE-HA KIM, Pop Music Critic
Chicago Sun-Times, February 17, 1996

silverchair has been slagged as being little more than a mall rat version of Seattle's best bands.
But at their sold-out show Sunday night at the Vic, the trio of Australian teenagers proved that after two solid years on the road, they have what it takes to be major contenders in 'rock 'n' roll.
Touring to promote Freak Show, the hard-rocking musicians ripped through a 75-minute set that began with Slave and ended with Israel’s Son, the first track from their breakthrough 1995 debut, frogstomp.
The musicians sounded so tight and polished that it was easy to forget that the eldest won't turn 18 until April. They won't have any trouble getting prom dates when they graduate from high school in a few months, but if the high-pitched screams were any indication, singer-guitarist Daniel Johns was the crowd favorite. A slim, blond boy with delicate features, his voice conveys angst -- an irresistible combination to many teenage girls.
The stage set-up was spartan, with just a banner depicting circus oddities ("See the bodyless man!") hanging high above their heads. Johns worked the stage, peering at the body-surfing fans through his tangled hair.
Detractors put off by Johns, bassist Chris Joannou and drum-mer Ben Gillies have derisively dismissed them as Sound(kinder)garden and Pearl Jam in Pajamas.
But the teenagers' music is more interesting and better written than that of Mad Season, a side project put together by members of Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam. While Mad Season's Above (1995) exhibited little of the originality of the musicians' primary groups, silverchair's Freak Show and frogstomp are sprinkled with ridiculously catchy head-banging numbers that translate well live.
That's not to say that they haven't learned a thing or two from bands such as Nirvana. silverchair’s melodies are strewn with scratchy feedback, and Johns is fond of singing tortured lyrics that owe a lot to poetic license.
At least I hope so anyhow. It's more than a little disconcerting to hear a teenager sweetly sing, "C'mon abuse me more/I like it,' no matter how tongue in cheek he meant the lyrics to be.
SILVERCHAIR ENJOYING RIDE
TEENAGE AUSTRALIAN TRIO KEEPS FANS/PEERS ON THEIR FEET
By GREG KOT, Tribune Rock Critic
Chicago Tribune, Feb. 18, 1997
Photo for the Tribune by James Crump
Three years ago the three teenagers in the band silverchair won a radio contest in their native Australia with a grunge knockoff called Tomorrow, landed a record deal and, parental chaperones in tow, began touring America.
There they faced interminable questions about their youth, their third-hand Seattle-by-way-of- Newcastle sound and singer Daniel Johns' uncanny vocal and physical resemblance to the late Kurt Cobain.
It's enough to make any teen scream, which Johns did -- a lot -- on Sunday in silverchair's performance at the Vic. Seems as though the blond, blue-eyed front man has discovered several suffixes for the word "mother," with which he delighted his shrieking peer group.
Lenny Bruce-isms aside, what matters is not so much what Johns says, but how he says it.
Whipping his tresses as though trapped in a high-speed blender, wiggling his slinky Axl Rose hips, pausing dramatically beneath a strobe light between power chords, the willowy Johns teeters between awkward adolescent and feral rock star.
No wonder the mosh pit was frothing one minute, swooning the next with his every move.
The 17-year-old singer doesn't just entertain his audience, he's part of it.
On silverchair's second album, Freak Show, the singer bemoans, celebrates and satirizes youthful feelings of inadequacy.
The circus-poster backdrop for the stage suggested that the band, and by extension its audience, sometimes feels like a side-show attraction performing for the benefit of a voyeuristic and often uncomprehending world.
"I don't really know/How to put on a cool show/As boring as they come/Just tell me where to go," Johns raged.
"C'mon, abuse me more, I like it," he crooned with a delicacy that belied the plea.
With Johns on guitar, Ben Gillies on drums and Chris Joannou on bass, Silverchair has graduated from blatant Pearl Jamming to the harder stuff: a whiff of Pantera, a heavy dose of Helmet, a touch of Black Sabbath.
Johns' favors big baritone chords, and the trio likes to start songs slow and finish fast -- a gambit that wore thin after three tries.
But the trio packages its derivative riffing and callow lyricism with anthemic melodies, and Johns' agile voice delivers them with a wounded power.
Most of all, silverchair seems to enjoy what it's doing: Watch Johns shred his guitar! See Gillies swan dive into the mosh pit! Feel the hormones rage!
silverchair may not be particularly original, but the band's lack of guile and attitude hold a lesson that more refined practitioners of guitar rock would do well to study.
Review courtesy Entertainment Ave.
Much can be said for the resilience of today's youth. It's 6:15 p.m., 20 some odd degrees outside and they haven't started letting people into The Vic for the silverchair show that my ticket shows is supposed to start at 7:00. Me, I'm in that line too, and yes, like most of the young'ns, I left my coat in the car expecting 1) the doors would open at 6:00 so the cold wouldn't be too bad and 2) it would be hot inside The Vic and I didn't want to be bogged down holding my coat while moshing. Alright, I wouldn't be heading for the mosh pit, but I didn't want to have to stand around holding my coat either.
Well, at least option 2 was right because there we stood, most of us, in t-shirts and flannels, waiting for the doors to open. About a half an hour later warmth finally came as I let the security dudes patted my shivering body down and I entered the venue. Me, personally, I thought this entire experience sucked, but most of the rest of the folks in line didn't seem to care, they just wanted to see one of their favorite bands - silverchair.
Being so far back in line, I headed for a seat in the balcony because I'm short and didn't feel like straining my neck and standing on my toes trying to see over everyone on the main floor. Third row, off to the side, it was as good a spot as any so I kicked backed and relaxed and found out the show wouldn't start until 7:30. The lights go down, it's opening act time, and a group called Handsome takes the stage.
A quick word about Handsome. The crowd kinda liked them, or maybe they were just trying to get warm, and Handsome kicked into a 35-minute, high energy show. The only problem for me was there was nothing special about them. It was your standard, guitar driven alternative-esque type show. Not that they were bad -- they played well, but just didn't have anything or any sound to set them apart from the rest of the pack. A little bit more slapping hands in the crowd, or any slapping hands in the crowd for that matter, maybe some crowd interaction or something, but it was like the crowd wanted a little bit more and Handsome didn't deliver. Although the crowd started out liking the band, by the time their 35 minutes ran out the mosh pit became indifferent and the outstretched hands in the front row came back by their sides with no "he slapped my hand" stories to tell. From me Handsome get a SHRUG. The potential is there, they just need to find someplace to put it.
The lights are back up and the security dude is scolding this 12ish year old a couple of rows in front of me for bringing in one of those disposable cameras. He threatens that if he sees her try to take a picture during silverchair he'll throw the camera away and maybe even toss her out of the venue. I'm thinking, "Lighten up, dude, just give her a warning and take the camera away if she does it -- don't make this a federal case." But he kept on and on even after the girl said "OK, I won't" and stuffed it in her pocket. Sorry for that little tangent, I digress. Back to the show.
Promptly at 8:30 the lights go down again and carnival music tries to overpower the high-pitched screams of the girls in the crowd. A few moments later the three boys in silverchair stroll on stage and kick into an hour and fifteen minute set of songs that showed me a lot more about this band than the standard radio hits portray. Yes, I have to admit that other than those radio songs I haven't heard anything else from silverchair, but after this show I might have to head out and pick up a CD or two. I was duly impressed.
Other than radio, my only other impression of the three boys from down under are from what the critics have said -- most of which seem to blast the band as "Nirvana wanna-bes" who need to grow up a little, but there are a few that compare them to Nirvana but expand on that. Me, well after seeing this show, I see them as a band that can truly grow old with their fans, as long as they don't go to college and become engineers or some other boring occupation like that. The boys have grown since frogstomp, and the songs from Freak Show are a little more polished. Their music has changed just enough to keep them fresh but not so much to alienate their first legion of fans.
As I'm sitting there listening to songs like Slave, Abuse Me, Leave Me Out and Cemetery (which was quite impressive with Daniel Johns playing it solo while Chris Joannou and Ben Gillies headed off to "get a drink"), I'm hearing an almost pop music influence mixed with the standard chord-driven, alternative sounding songs. It's enough to not let them fall into that "it sounds like everything else on the radio these days" trap. Then, as the show progresses, I become impressed because, yes, all you cynics out there, Daniel can really play guitar and not just blast through "three chords make a song" music. And then, as the show progresses further, instead of pop I hear hard core during songs like No Association and Israel's Son. Here's a band taking some generic pop-rock, alternative, and hard-core and mixing it all together with some old style metal to boot. It was pretty cool if I do say so myself.
By the end of the show I can say that silverchair has turned the skeptic in me to more of a believer that they can surpass the "one-hit-wonder" bands that have proliferated the airwaves lately. And you know, it was weird, but at times, with all of the bras flying on stage, I couldn't remember the last shows I saw with that much lingerie heading for a mike stand. Oh yeah, one was KISS and the other was Tom Jones. If that's any indication of where this band is heading it looks like they will be having a long and fun ride! Only thing I wondered is how 16-year-old Susie is going to explain to her parents why she is coming home without her bra. I can hear mom now: "You threw it on stage. Sorry, I used that one on my parents -- now get to your room and you're never seeing Jason again."
In the end the crowd had a blast, even if the mosh-pit was so packed that instead of slam dancing it was more of a big wave moving back and forth. And you know, the band didn't really interact with the crowd much, well at least not until the end when they decided to stage dive into the crowd. They showed they can play, and in the end they showed they haven't grown up yet -- that's cool!
It's TWO BIG THUMBS UP for silverchair!
By JEWELS
We got up as close as possible and ended up in front of Chris's area. The crowd was restless as Handsome came on a bit later than scheduled, but it was worth the wait. I moved to the balcony and sat with Jenn (The Llama Grrl) Ryan. Pete Walton came and sat next to us. I saw the headless doll next to Ben's drum set and I asked Pete about it. He said, "Oh, that's Jessie, the headless doll!" I laughed -- silly boys!
Finally the lights dimmed and the crowd got rowdy again. The backdrop lowered; it was really cool, with all these circus freaks on it. The circus theme music started (I just love that little touch! It's great!) The band came out, the circus music stopped and they opened the show.
Here's the set list:
Findaway
Abuse Me
Leave Me Out
Suicidal Dream
Faultline
No Association
Pure Massacre
Madman Encore:
Israel's Son
I was so thrilled that they did Roses. I just live for that song; it gets me going and to hear it live is even better! During that song, Daniel dropped his pick and went on playing without it. When the song was over, he went to pick it up but it wasn't easy.
During Freak, Daniel pointed at everyone for "as cool as you" and another time he sang "as cool as all of fucking you!" THAT was cool!
Right before he played Cemetery, he gsaid, "The guys left me. I'm all by myself. They went to jack off -- maybe I should too." Something like that. I couldn't hear him very well but that's what I later heard he said.
During Madman, Daniel went on a rampage. He ran all the way over to Chris's area and went back toward his speakers. Not to my surprise, bras and panties were thrown up on stage. I counted like four pairs. One pair of underwear landed by Chris and he kicked them. A red bra was thrown right in front of Daniel. And this is funny -- a pair of underwear hit Daniel in the hand during one song. Bailey went over to get it out of his way and noticed it was underwear and threw it down with a disgusted look on his face. It was great!
At some point, Daniel threw something in the crowd and said, "Here, have a piece of guitar. It's a piece of shit, maybe I'll throw it out at the end of this show." But he didn't. Instead, it got smashed by the speaker.
When they came back for the encore, Daniel asked, "Where's Handsome? Did they leave? We're gonna do Minor Threat." Then Jeremy Chatelain from Handsome came up and tickled Daniel around the waist. "OK, here he is," Daniel said. They played Minor Threat with Jeremy singing. It was strange to see someone besides Daniel sing, but it was really cool.
During Lie To Me, Daniel kicked up his left leg real high. Chris did his jump a few more times -- now he's a true rock star 'cause he's moving around -- go Chris!
Daniel did the usual thrashing after Israel's Son. He ran over to the speakers and ran his guitar all around it and made distortion. Then he knocked the speaker over and one fell right onto his green PRS -- poor thing!
While daniel was mucking around on the sound effects pedals, Ben was about to leave buit then he turned around. I thought he was gonna moon us 'cause I know he's done that lately. But he did something so wild and awesome. He stood up on the drum platform and stretched his arms out and pointed at the crowd. He hunched over and I knew right away what he would do. He made a run for the crowd and fell right into the hands of complete silverchair freaks! Before I knew it, I couldn't see him because he was buried in all the hands. Watson and the stage crew came running out to his rescue. They got him out of there as soon as they could and rushed him off stage. It was so cool to see him do that!
The lights came back on and the show came to an end. It was sad 'cause I did NOT want it to end. But it was so great while it lasted.
By DAWN (nguyendp@axp.calumet.purdue.edu)
I went to the concert on Feb. 16th in Chicago. It was awesome. We arrived at the Vic around 5 and stood in line for about an hour and 15 minutes. It was a long, cold wait and everyone's toes were frozen. A silver tour bus with a trailer was parked directly in front of the doors. Of course, everyone was yelling at it in hopes that one of the band members would come out.
Once inside, we found a nice place to stand. I favored the right side -- less girls and more room. The Vic was much smaller than I had expected it to be. We found a place next to the rail of the mosh pit and waited for the opening band. Handsome came on and totally rocked. They played a few songs and then thanked the audience for coming and thanked silverchair for letting them tour with them for a couple of weeks. There was really no crowd participation. Every once in a while someone would yell for silverchair to come on. Handsome was really good. They have a really heavy groove. Then the set was over, and on came the roadies to set up the stage for silverchair.
After about what seemed like forever with all of the girls yelling for Daniel, the lights dimmed and the back-drop fell. The crowd was yelling and went crazy when the circus music started. silverchair came out and took their positions. They ripped into Slave, Roses and Findaway without interruption. After Findaway Daniel introduced the next song.
"You've probably heard this song on the radio," he says, noting that a friend [production manager Bailey Holloway] would help play the song, which was Abuse Me.
silverchair got the crowd going and everyone sang along. During The Door, something happened to one of Ben's cymbals because there was a drum tech [Danny Hemminge] next to Ben trying to fix the cymbal. Every time he reached for the screw, Ben would hit the cymbal. So the tech just sat next to Ben on the riser and waited for the end of the song. The guy unscrewed the high-hat and did something with it. Daniel saw this and started an inaudible conversation with the crowd to stall, but then decided, "I don't feel like talking any more."
The highlights of the show would probably be:
Daniel said to the audience, "Here, have a piece of guitar. It's falling to pieces. I'll probably just throw it in the crowd after the gig anyways." (But nothing happened to the green PRS after the show.)
For the encore Daniel goes, "Handsome, please report to the stage. If you're here, please come to the stage. I don't know if they're still here or not. Oh, fuck it then." Then the singer of Handsome (Jeremy Chatelain) came out behind Daniel and scared him by putting his hand on his waist. Jeremy then ripped into "Minor Threat with silverchair playing.
At the end of the show, during Daniel's guitar screeching distortion, Ben jumped on the drum riser and faces the audience. After giving the crowd the "I'm gonna do it" look, he ran off the riser and into the arms of the waiting crowd. The security guards pulled him out with difficulty because of all the people hanging on him.
What I thought was cool:
It seemed to me that more people sang along on Abuse Me and Freak than of the frogstomp songs, even Tomorrow.
My sister asked a lady in the audience where she got her shirt. (It was a black shirt and on the back had silverchair, Midget, Spiderbait, etc.) She said that she got it in Australia and flew to Chicago to see silverchair.
During Freak Daniel said "cool as fucking you" and pointed to the crowd, and everyone went crazy.
I was disappointed that they didn't play Pop Song or Paranoid. It also seemed to me that the show wasn't as intimate as it could have been, like when I saw them in L.A. at the Troubadour. Daniel was a lot less talkative in Chicago. Maybe all of the touring and promoting had gotten him tired.

B – The Mail Art Archive of Ruth Wolf-Rehfeldt and Robert Rehfeldt
included in: For Ruth, the Sky in Los Angeles
Curated by Kathleen Reinhardt
Albertinum, SKD, Dresden
8 September 2018 – 6 January 2019
“For Ruth, the Sky in Los Angeles” is an aquarelle that consists only of this sentence, which David Horvitz sent to Ruth Wolf-Rehfeldt in 2016 from the United States. Today, it sits on her desk in Berlin-Buchholz and has entered her comprehensive archive of Mail Art from around the world.
The exhibition “For Ruth, the Sky in Los Angeles,” on view at the Albertinum from 8 September 2018 until 6 January 2019, is a living homage to a hitherto overlooked position of Mail Art and visual poetry. Ruth Wolf-Rehfeldt (*1932 in Wurzen, Sachsen) was active as an artist from the beginning of the 1970s until 1990. Using an Erika Typewriter, she developed complex graphic compositions juxtaposing text and image. 62 of her timeless “typewritings” – diagrams, patterns, abstract poetry, and collages – form the core of this small presentation. Additionally typewriter graphics purchased last year through the Cultural Foundation of the Free State Saxony for the Art Fund of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (Dresden State Art Collections) will be shown in the exhibition, too.
Although Wolf-Rehfeldt worked in East Berlin and therefore was subject to travel restrictions and strongly surveilled communication, she was an active member of the international Mail Art movement and corresponded with artists in Europe, the United States, South America, and Asia. Her work can therefore be found today in many archives of international Mail Art artists. The exhibition traces the broad dissemination of Mail Art with a selection from the extensive collection of Ruth Wolf-Rehfeldt and Robert Rehfeldt.
At the same time the presentation at the Albertinum is an experimental format in which David Horvitz (*1982 in Los Angeles, USA) enters into a dialog with Wolf-Rehfeldt’s work. The young contemporary artist developed an exchange with the documenta 14 artist based on the principle of a living archive. Like Ruth Wolf-Rehfeldt, he deals with processes of circulation and interconnectedness, exploring how thoughts and feelings become sign and actions. Whether with Mail Art, artist books, infiltrations on the internet, apps or documented travels and collected artifacts – the questioning of the rules of time and space, knowledge and ownership mark his artistic approach.
In the exhibition at the Albertinum, Horvitz will show existing works on paper and glass sculptures alongside a new video work and invites visitors to try Mail Art for themselves through a participatory artwork. A performance and a work in the urban space of Dresden complete the show.
Both positions are divided by generations and worlds – their wit, their conception of art and its inherent poetry is nonetheless very similar. The personal admiration and bond that David Horvitz has with Wolf-Rehfeldt has inspired the first solo exhibition of the artist’s work in Dresden, which is anchored in the now through their dialogical exchange.
The exhibition is curated by Kathleen Reinhardt.

Lake Pontchartrain
for string sextet (two violins, two violas, two cellos)
Water is emotion, and every body of water I visit makes me feel a different way. Lake Pontchartrain is a shallow estuary in Louisiana just wide enough that one cannot see the other side. To get to New Orleans, one must travel across its waters on a freeway or train elevated just above the surface. On a cloudy, rainy day, the gray waters of Lake Pontchartrain evokes feelings of sadness, serenity, intimacy, and longing. The piece begins and ends like the lake’s gentle, unending waves: instruments play long single notes at different times, creating a chord progression that sways between dissonant clusters and tonal harmonies. The quiet middle sections are inspired by nature: wind rustling, birds chirping, and stillness. It features sparse triadic gestures, microtones, and cellos bowing on the bridge.
for B flat clarinet and live electronics
Pluto is a thirty-five minute long chamber work for clarinet and live electronics. It has five movements:
I. Serenity
II. Cosmic Rant
III. Planet Heart
IV. The Sun’s Quiet Heat
V. Gravity
Work on this piece began in July, 2015, around the time of NASA’s Pluto flyby. By the end of the yea r, I had a performable draft. After winning third prize in Peabody’s Prix d’Eté, the final movement Gravity was programmed in the Peabody Thursday Noon Concert Series, with Melissa Lander on clarinet. The third movement, Planet Heart, was premiered in August 2016 by Michele Jacot at the Toronto International Electro-acoustic Symposium, and performed again by Chase Mitchusson at NSEME in March 2017. Clarinetist Shawn Earle also performed Gravity at the 2016 University of Virginia Technosonics Festival.
In February 2017 I teamed up with Andrew Im to perform the piece in its entirety. We did so at the Centre Street Performance Studio in Baltimore. We performed it again in at the Music City Festival in Orange, NJ, and perform it in Rutland, VT on August 13.
The piece is expansive both in length and in texture, with long undulating loops and delay that continue the clarinet’s sound like a piano’s sustain pedal. Noise and ring modulation provide contrast to the smoothness of the clarinet. The electronics allow for loud sections, harmonies, and sounds lower than the clarinet can play– all derived from a clarinet.
Below are recordings of Serenity, Planet Heart, and Gravity.

Among the most distinctive areas of the Gardiner Museum’s collection are its famous group of 150 European porcelain figures inspired by the Commedia dell’Arte. The Commedia dell’Arte was a popular form of theatre that emerged in Europe during the Renaissance, and remained popular until well into the eighteenth century. The collection includes examples from most European porcelain manufactories showing the characters and costumes of the actors, their gestures and comic poses. These figures were usually utilized as ornaments for the table in the eighteenth century.
The origins of the collection are also of interest. It was initially assembled by George Gardiner as a memento of his directorship of Harlequin Enterprises Ltd., publishers of popular novels. It has since been augmented by gifts from William and Molly Anne Macdonald and the heirs of Dr. Hans Syz.

the Association of Southeast Asian Nations has helped expose the NDA government to the challenges and opportunities in India’s east Whether it is the urgency of rejuvenating ties with Myanmar deepening ties with Southeast Asia or establishing contact with the foreign ministers of major powers with a stake in Asean Swaraj’s sojourn has drawn the government into the wider landscape of India’s foreign policy Although not always appreciated in Delhi Myanmar is an important neighbour which shares long land and maritime frontiers with India Swaraj’s talks with the Myanmar leadership have lent much-needed depth to the foreign policy focus of the NDA government concentrated so far on the subcontinent India has certainly stepped up its engagement with Myanmar in the last few years Its efforts however have not been commensurate with the new opportunities in Myanmar which has opened up to the world after prolonged isolation Much remains to be done especially in connecting India to Myanmar Delhi has long acknowledged the fact that Myanmar is India’s bridge to Southeast Asia In her remarks at the meeting with Asean foreign ministers Swaraj emphasised the importance of connectivity “in all its dimensions geographic institutional and people to people” Asean leaders have heard this before but would like to see India implement forthwith a variety of cross-border transport projects that are woefully behind schedule More than two decades after the unveiling of its much celebrated Look East Policy India has no direct air links with most Asean capitals While India’s trade volumes in the region have grown over the years Delhi remains a laggard in Asean’s efforts to craft a large free trade area in Asia India has also been a hesitant partner on defence and

Caught between rapidly growing economic interdependence with China and Beijing’s growing political and military assertiveness Southeast Asia has been hoping for a more activist Indian role in shaping

vandalised chaos in four districts Vangveeti Chalasani Devineni families That was what happened about 40 years ago something you simply cannot capture on a celluloid screen in a span of two-and-half hours From the emergence of Vangaveeti Radha to the demise of Vangaveeti Ranga in Vijayawada is what RGV aims to capture in Vangaveeti and botches it up almost immediately More from the world of Entertainment: The trap is the fact this story lacks a hero or any heroic element and the entire crew falls into it Based on the real incidents that shook Vijayawada in the 70s and 80s the story lacks enough political play and a thrilling story so the entire onus of carrying the narrative forward is placed on a macabre series of murders with just gory deaths to be remembered There was so much at play when the incident took place in Vijayawada The power hunger the caste fights the political drama of TDP Left and Congress was why things ended up as they did To play a safe game almost all the elements have been pulled out leaving just the crime angle and the names It’s like making a film on 26/11 or 9/11 terror attacks without touching the terrorism angle While it was a conscious effort taken to stay out of controversies what is left of the story is simply not worth capturing on camera All these cracks could have been ignored had there an element of suspense but you just Wiki Vangaveeti Ranga and you get the sketchy details Well if most of the audience did a little Googling beforehand to see what is in store the movie is left with absolutely nothing to offer them The second downfall is the lack of emotional intensity among the debutant actors Radha (Sandy) and Ranga (yes Sandy again) were the only two characters that showed a relatively stern and rough mien to resemble anything close to a gang culture or rowdyism But the fun is lost by choosing the same guy to reprise the roles of the unfateful Vangaveeti brothers The rest of the actors show promise in a few scenes but it’s just a feeble effort The way RGV handles the camera is worth appreciating RGV knows where to put the camera and when exactly to put it there His sheer brilliance is in using the frames not just in a horizontal axis but also in almost all levels of the vertical axis is a clear sign of his expertise in handling the lens But the ‘documentary’ gets little irksome when he narrates and rushes the story in frequent intervals Though the VO was little witty but it doesn’t really add value to the narrative There was a lot of consternation building in the Telugu states surrounding the release of the film with the Vangaveeti and Devineni lineage on close watch and a possibility of caste fights erupting once again But feel free to go watch the film just to convince yourself that

political crisis in a sharp rebuke to Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and European Union leaders who backed him With nearly all votes counted separatist parties won a slim majority in Catalan parliament a result that promises to prolong political tensions which have damaged Spain’s economy and prompted a business exodus from the region Rajoy who called the elections after sacking the previous secessionist government had hoped Catalonia’s “silent majority” would deal separatism a decisive blow in what was a de facto independence referendum but his hard line backfired The unexpected result

Dharmafly has been working with BBC World Service since 2007 on a collection of applications that help them reach out to their community with world news, involve them in conversations and convey complex issues with neat visual interfaces.
We’ve built upon each application with a step-wise, iterative process of development, which has given the organisation one very high profile award (the Sony Multiplatform Radio Award) and another award nomination (our Bangladesh River Journey app was declared a Webby Honoree, “in recognition of outstanding work”).
These projects have demanded an extremely high level of detail, and have been designed to meet the needs of a global audience of varied cultures, with meticulous testing, critical security, scalability, accessibility and high performance – all the while taking advantage of the cutting edge of web technology.
Length of relationship: 7 years
Dharmafly team members: 15
BBC team members in direct contact: 27
Web apps delivered: 6
#1: Bangladesh River Journey
Blog post | Live site
40 BBC journalists from around the world took to a boat, to navigate the rivers of Bangladesh, tracking climate change and, unexpectedly, the great destruction caused by a massive cyclone. We built a system for reporters to send their longitude and latitude in a text message to Twitter, and we used this to plot their blog posts, photos and tweets on an interactive map for viewers to follow their journey. An API was built to propagate the content into third-party developers’ own applications.
The project won a Gold award at the Sony Radio Academy Awards (akin to an Oscar for the radio industry), and was nominated for a Webby – the most prestigious award for international web projects.
#2: Talking America
In the run up to the historic elections that saw Barack Obama elected, we mapped the opinions of US voters and the reports from BBC journalists, concerning the situation and desires of an America on the verge of change. The application combined daily journalistic reporting, social media aggregation and geographical plotting.
#3: World Service Widget
An ambitious project to spread World Service news articles, audio and video, out of the BBC’s website, and on to users’ websites, blogs, social media spaces and computer desktops, in the form of a expandable “widget” that keeps itself up-to-date with new content. The widget was launched in 16 world languages (and new ones continue to be added), and developed for 9 different web platforms – such as WordPress, Facebook, iGoogle, Adobe Air and Mac Dashboard.
#4: World Feeds
About World Service feeds
We created a system to convert news feeds for some of the BBC’s many world language channels, bringing news content to new destinations.
#5: Twitter Aggregator
About “Twagger”
This application lets BBC news editors maintain lists of news topics that their journalists are discussing on Twitter – such as the Haiti earthquake and the Africa Nations Football Cup. The news editor can then add a small widget that displays the journalists’ latest Twitter messages about a particular topic on to any page on the World Service website.
#6: World Have Your Say live
This application collects users’ comments on World Service live, phone-in radio programmes. The comments are collected from multiple channels, such as SMS text messages, email, blog posts and Facebook groups. The app then displays them in real-time on the World Service website, allowing users to discuss the issues with each other. To the user, the app feels like an Instant Messaging client such as Skype. To the BBC editor, it is a tool to manage the multiple programmes and comments that they generate.

ABSTRACT Hepatitis C is a widely distributed problem all over the world, especially Egypt. Chronically infect-ed people develop serious liver disease and now it is the most common cause for liver transplantation. Recently, a new regimen, sofosbuvir (sovaldi), alone or with combinations as sovaldi-ribavirin, was approved for treating this disease. There are limited studies that explore the effects of these drugs on the reproductive organs, and hence af-fection of male fertility while using these drugs. This study aims to throw more light on whether sovaldi or sovaldi-ribavirin causes testicular dam-aging effects in the adult male albino rats. We in-vestigated the effect of this regimen in a dose equivalent to that used in the human (41 mg/kg once daily orally for sovaldi and 41 mg/kg twice daily orally for ribavirin) for consecutive 5 and 10 days. There was highly significant decrease in tes-tosterone hormone level and marked degenerative changes in the seminiferous tubules and the testic-ular interstitium, with increase in collagen deposits in sovaldi treated rats, and in a more extensive manner in sovaldi-ribavirin treated rats. There was a significant increase of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) fragmentation in the treated groups after 10 days. However, there was a non-significant differ-ence in DNA fragmentation in the treated groups after 5 days when compared with control. Immuno-histochemistry detection of caspase-3 showed sig-nificant increase in its expression in the treated groups after either 5 or 10 days. This denoted the specificity of caspase-3 immunohistochemistry technique in the detection of early apoptotic changes. It was concluded that sovaldi and soval-di-ribavirin induced gonadotoxic effects through induction of DNA fragmentation via upregulation of caspase-3, and that the resulting damaging effects increased with longer duration of drug intake.

Flux (metallurgy)
Flux (metallurgy) explained
In metallurgy, a flux (derived from Latin fluxus meaning "flow") is a chemical cleaning agent, flowing agent, or purifying agent. Fluxes may have more than one function at a time. They are used in both extractive metallurgy and metal joining.
Some of the earliest known fluxes were carbonate of soda, potash, charcoal, coke, borax,[1] lime,[2] lead sulfide[3] and certain minerals containing phosphorus. Iron ore was also used as a flux in the smelting of copper. These agents served various functions, the simplest being a reducing agent, which prevented oxides from forming on the surface of the molten metal, while others absorbed impurities into the slag, which could be scraped off the molten metal.As cleaning agents, fluxes facilitate soldering, brazing, and welding by removing oxidation from the metals to be joined. Common fluxes are: ammonium chloride or rosin for soldering copper and tin; hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride for soldering galvanized iron (and other zinc surfaces); and borax for brazing, braze-welding ferrous metals, and forge welding.
In the process of smelting, inorganic chlorides, fluorides (see fluorite), limestone and other materials are designated as "fluxes" when added to the contents of a smelting furnace or a cupola for the purpose of purging the metal of chemical impurities such as phosphorus, and of rendering slag more liquid at the smelting temperature. The slag is a liquid mixture of ash, flux, and other impurities. This reduction of slag viscosity with temperature, increasing the flow of slag in smelting, is the original origin of the word flux in metallurgy. Fluxes are also used in foundries for removing impurities from molten nonferrous metals such as aluminium, or for adding desirable trace elements such as titanium.
In high-temperature metal joining processes (welding, brazing and soldering), flux is a substance which is nearly inert at room temperature, but which becomes strongly reducing at elevated temperatures, preventing oxidation of the base and filler materials. The role of a flux is typically dual: dissolving the oxides already present on the metal surface, which facilitates wetting by molten metal, and acting as an oxygen barrier by coating the hot surface, preventing its oxidation.
For example, tin-lead solder attaches very well to copper, but poorly to the various oxides of copper, which form quickly at soldering temperatures. By preventing the formation of metal oxides, flux enables the solder to adhere to the clean metal surface, rather than forming beads, as it would on an oxidized surface.
In some applications molten flux also serves as a heat-transfer medium, facilitating heating of the joint by the soldering tool or molten solder.
Fluxes for soft soldering are typically of organic nature, though inorganic fluxes, usually based on halogenides and/or acids, are also used in non-electronics applications. Fluxes for brazing operate at significantly higher temperatures and are therefore mostly inorganic; the organic compounds tend to be of supplementary nature, e.g. to make the flux sticky at low temperature so it can be easily applied.
Composition and properties
Organic fluxes typically consist of four major components:[4]
Activators - chemicals disrupting/dissolving the metal oxides. Their role is to expose unoxidized, easily wettable metal surface and aid soldering by other means, e.g. by exchange reactions with the base metals.
Highly active fluxes contain chemicals that are corrosive at room temperature. The compounds used include metal halides (most often zinc chloride or ammonium chloride), hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, citric acid, and hydrobromic acid. Salts of mineral acids with amines are also used as aggressive activators. Aggressive fluxes typically facilitate corrosion, require careful removal, and are unsuitable for finer work. Activators for fluxes for soldering and brazing aluminium often contain fluorides.
Milder activators begin to react with oxides only at elevated temperature. Typical compounds used are carboxylic acids (e.g. fatty acids (most often oleic acid and stearic acid), dicarboxylic acids) and sometimes amino acids. Some milder fluxes also contain halides or organohalides.
Vehicles - high-temperature tolerant chemicals in the form of non-volatile liquids or solids with suitable melting point; they are generally liquid at soldering temperatures. Their role is to act as an oxygen barrier to protect the hot metal surface against oxidation, to dissolve the reaction products of activators and oxides and carry them away from the metal surface, and to facilitate heat transfer. Solid vehicles tend to be based on natural or modified rosin (mostly abietic acid, pimaric acid, and other resin acids) or natural or synthetic resins. Water-soluble organic fluxes tend to contain vehicles based on high-boiling polyols - glycols, diethylene glycol and higher polyglycols, polyglycol-based surfactants and glycerol.
Solvents - added to facilitate processing and deposition to the joint. Solvents are typically dried out during preheating before the soldering operation; incomplete solvent removal may lead to boiling off and spattering of solder paste particles or molten solder.
Additives - numerous other chemicals modifying the flux properties. Additives can be surfactants (especially nonionic), corrosion inhibitors, stabilizers and antioxidants, tackifiers, thickeners and other rheological modifiers (especially for solder pastes), plasticizers (especially for flux-cored solders), and dyes.
Inorganic fluxes contain components playing the same role as in organic fluxes. They are more often used in brazing and other high-temperature applications, where organic fluxes have insufficient thermal stability. The chemicals used often simultaneously act as both vehicles and activators; typical examples are borax, borates, fluoroborates, fluorides and chlorides. Halogenides are active at lower temperatures than borates, and are therefore used for brazing of aluminium and magnesium alloys; they are however highly corrosive.
Fluxes have several important properties:
Activity - the ability to dissolve existing oxides on the metal surface and promote wetting with solder. Highly active fluxes are often of acidic and/or corrosive nature.
Corrosivity - the promotion of corrosion by the flux and its residues. Most active fluxes tend to be corrosive at room temperatures and require careful removal. As activity and corrosivity are linked, the preparation of surfaces to be joined should allow use of milder fluxes. Some water-soluble flux residues are hygroscopic, which causes problems with electrical resistance and contributes to corrosion. Fluxes containing halides and mineral acids are highly corrosive and require thorough removal. Some fluxes, especially borax-based brazing ones, form very hard glass-like coatings that are difficult to remove.
Cleanability - the difficulty of removal of flux and its residues after the soldering operation. Fluxes with higher content of solids tend to leave larger amount of residues; thermal decomposition of some vehicles also leads to formation of difficult-to-clean, polymerized and possibly even charred deposits (a problem especially for hand soldering). Some flux residues are soluble in organic solvents, others in water, some in both. Some fluxes are no-clean, as they are sufficiently volatile or undergoing thermal decomposition to volatile products that they do not require the cleaning step. Other fluxes leave non-corrosive residues that can be left in place. However, flux residues can interfere with subsequent operations; they can impair adhesion of conformal coatings, or act as undesired insulation on connectors and contact pads for test equipment.
Residue tack - the stickiness of the surface of the flux residue. When not removed, the flux residue should have smooth, hard surface. Tacky surfaces tend to accumulate dust and particulates, which causes issues with electrical resistance; the particles themselves can be conductive or they can be hygroscopic or corrosive.
Volatility - this property has to be balanced to facilitate easy removal of solvents during the preheating phase but to not require too frequent replenishing of solvent in the process equipment.
Viscosity - especially important for solder pastes, which have to be easy to apply but also thick enough to stay in place without spreading to undesired locations. Solder pastes may also function as a temporary adhesive for keeping electronic parts in place before and during soldering. Fluxes applied by e.g. foam require low viscosity.
Flammability - relevant especially for glycol-based vehicles and for organic solvents. Flux vapors tend to have low autoignition temperature and present a risk of a flash fire when the flux comes in contact with a hot surface.
Solids - the percentage of solid material in the flux. Fluxes with low solids, sometimes as little as 1-2%, are called low solids flux, low-residue flux, or no clean flux. They are often composed of weak organic acids, with addition of small amount of rosin or other resins.
Conductivity - some fluxes remain conductive after soldering if not cleaned properly, leading to random malfunctions on circuits with high impedances. Different types of fluxes are differently prone to cause these issues.
The surface of the tin-based solder is coated predominantly with tin oxides; even in alloys the surface layer tends to become relatively enriched by tin. Fluxes for indium and zinc based solders have different compositions than fluxes for ordinary tin-lead and tin-based solders, due to different soldering temperatures and different chemistry of the oxides involved.
The composition of fluxes is tailored for the required properties - the base metals and their surface preparation (which determine the composition and thickness of surface oxides), the solder (which determines the wetting properties and the soldering temperature), the corrosion resistance and ease of removal, and others.
Organic fluxes are unsuitable for flame soldering and flame brazing, as they tend to char and impair solder flow.
Some metals are classified as "unsolderable" in air, and have to be either coated with another metal before soldering or special fluxes and/or protective atmospheres have to be used. Such metals are beryllium, chromium, magnesium, titanium, and some aluminium alloys.
Fluxes for high-temperature soldering differ from the fluxes for use at lower temperatures. At higher temperatures even relatively mild chemicals have sufficient oxide-disrupting activity, but the metal oxidation rates become fairly high; the barrier function of the vehicle therefore becomes more important than the fluxing activity. High molecular weight hydrocarbons are often used for this application; a diluent with a lower molecular weight, boiling off during the preheat phase, is usually used to aid application.[5]
Behavior of activators
The role of the activators is primarily disruption and removal of the oxide layer on the metal surface (and also the molten solder), to facilitate direct contact between the molten solder and metal. The reaction product is usually soluble or at least dispersible in the molten vehicle. The activators are usually either acids, or compounds that release acids at elevated temperature.
The general reaction of oxide removal is:
Metal oxide + Acid → Salt + WaterSalts are ionic in nature and can cause problems from metallic leaching or dendrite growth, with possible product failure. In some cases, particularly in high-reliability applications, flux residues must be removed.
The activity of the activator generally increases with temperature, up to a certain value where activity ceases, either due to thermal decomposition or excessive volatilization. However the oxidation rate of the metals also increases with temperature.
At high temperatures, copper oxide reacts with hydrogen chloride to water-soluble and mechanically weak copper chloride, and with rosin to salts of copper and abietic acid which is soluble in molten rosin.
Some activators may also contain metal ions, capable of exchange reaction with the underlying metal; such fluxes aid soldering by chemically depositing a thin layer of easier solderable metal on the exposed base metal. An example is the group of fluxes containing zinc, tin or cadmium compounds, usually chlorides, sometimes fluorides or fluoroborates.
Common high-activity activators are mineral acids, often together with halides, amines, water and/or alcohols:
hydrochloric acid, most common
phosphoric acid, less common, use limited by its polymerization at higher temperatures
Inorganic acids are highly corrosive to metals even at room temperature, which causes issues during storage, handling and applications. As soldering involves high temperatures, compounds that decompose or react with acids as products are frequently used:
zinc chloride, which at high temperatures reacts with moisture, forming oxychloride and hydrochloric acid
ammonium chloride, thermally decomposing to ammonia and hydrochloric acid
amine hydrochlorides, decomposing to the amine and hydrochloric acid
Rosin fluxes
The terms resin flux and rosin flux are ambiguous and somewhat interchangeable, with different vendors using different assignments. Generally, fluxes are labeled as rosin if the vehicle they are based on is primarily natural rosin. Some manufactures reserve "rosin" designation for military fluxes based on rosin (R, RMA and RA compositions) and label others as "resin".
Rosin has good flux properties. A mixture of organic acids (resin acids, predominantly abietic acid, with pimaric acid, isopimaric acid, neoabietic acid, dihydroabietic acid, and dehydroabietic acid), rosin is a glassy solid, virtually nonreactive and noncorrosive at normal temperature, but liquid, ionic and mildly reactive to metal oxides at molten state. Rosin tends to soften between 60–70 °C and is fully fluid at around 120 °C; molten rosin is weakly acidic and is able to dissolve thinner layers of surface oxides from copper without further additives. For heavier surface contamination or improved process speed, additional activators can be added.
There are three types of rosin: gum rosin (from pine tree oleoresin), wood rosin (obtained by extraction of tree stumps), and tall oil rosin (obtained from tall oil, a byproduct of kraft paper process). Gum rosin has a milder odor and lower tendency to crystallize from solutions than wood rosin, and is therefore preferred for flux applications. Tall oil rosin finds increased use due to its higher thermal stability and therefore lower tendency to form insoluble thermal decomposition residues. The composition and quality of rosin differs by the tree type, and also by location and even by year. In Europe, rosin for fluxes is usually obtained from a specific type of Portuguese pine, in America a North Carolina variant is used.[6]
Natural rosin can be used as-is, or can be chemically modified by e.g. esterification, polymerization, or hydrogenation. The properties being altered are increased thermal stability, better cleanability, altered solution viscosity, and harder residue (or conversely, softer and more tacky residue). Rosin can be also converted to a water-soluble rosin flux, by formation of an ethoxylated rosin amine, an adduct with a polyglycol and an amine.
One of the early fluxes was a mixture of equal amounts of rosin and vaseline. A more aggressive early composition was a mixture of saturated solution of zinc chloride, alcohol, and glycerol.[7]
Fluxes can be also prepared from synthetic resins, often based on esters of polyols and fatty acids. Such resins have improved fume odor and lower residue tack, but their fluxing activity and solubility tend to be lower than of natural resins.
Rosin fluxes are categorized by grades of activity: L for low, M for moderate, and H for high. There are also other abbreviations for different rosin flux grades:[6] [8]
R (Rosin) - pure rosin, no activators, low activity, mildest
WW (Water-White) - purest rosin grade, no activators, low activity, sometimes synonymous with R
RMA (Rosin Mildly Activated) - contains mild activators, typically no halides
RA (Rosin Activated) - rosin with strong activators, high activity, contains halides
OA (Organic Acid) - rosin activated with organic acids, high activity, highly corrosive, aqueous cleaning
SA (Synthetically Activated) - rosin with strong synthetic activators, high activity; formulated to be easily soluble in organic solvents (chlorofluorocarbons, alcohols) to facilitate cleaning
WS (Water-Soluble) - usually based on inorganic or organic halides; highly corrosive residues
SRA (Superactivated rosin) - rosin with very strong activators, very high activity
IA (Inorganic Acid) - rosin activated with inorganic acids (usually hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid), highest activities, highly corrosive
R, WW, and RMA grades are used for joints that can not be easily cleaned or where there is too high corrosion risk. More active grades require thorough cleaning of the residues. Improper cleaning can actually aggravate the corrosion by releasing trapped activators from the flux residues.
There are several possible activator groups for rosins:
halide activators (organic halide salts, e.g. dimethylammonium chloride and diethylammonium chloride)
organic acids (monocarboxylic, e.g. formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, and dicarboxylic, e.g. oxalic acid, malonic acid, sebacic acid)
Solder fluxes are specified according to several standards.
The most common one in European setting is the ISO 9454-1 (also known as DIN EN 29454-1).[9]
The flux classes according to ISO 9454-1 are specified by four-character code, by flux type, base, activator, and type. The form code is often omitted.
Flux type
1 Resin
1 Rosin
2 Without rosin
1 Without activator
2 Halide activator
3 Non-halide activator
A Liquid
B Solid
C Paste
2 Organic
1 Water-soluble
2 Water-insoluble
3 Inorganic
1 Salts
1 Ammonium chloride
2 Without ammonium chloride
2 Acids
1 Phosphoric acid
2 Other acids
3 Alkaline
1 Amines and/or ammonia
Therefore, 1.1.2 means rosin flux with halides.
The older specification, still often in use for specifying fluxes in shops, is the older German DIN 8511; the pairing is, however, not always one-to-one (note the multiple vs. one relation old standard vs. new standard in table below

One standard increasing used (United States) is J-STD-004 (very similar to DIN EN 61190-1-1). Four characters (two letters, then one letter, and last a number) represent flux composition, flux activity, and whether activators include halides:[10]
First two letters: Base
RO: rosin
RE: resin
OR: organic
IN: inorganic
Third letter: Activity
L: low
M: moderate
H: high
Number: Halide content
0: less than 0.05% in weight (“halide-free”)
1: halide content depends on activity:
less than 0.5% for low activity
0.5% to 2.0% for moderate activity
greater than 2.0% for high activity
Any combination is possible, e.g. ROL0, REM1 or ORH0.
Examples of special fluxes
Some materials are very difficult to solder. In some cases special fluxes have to be employed.
Aluminium and its alloys are difficult to solder due to the formation of the passivation layer of aluminium oxide. The flux has to be able to disrupt this layer and facilitate wetting by solder. Salts or organic complexes of some metals can be used; the salt has to be able to penetrate the cracks in the oxide layer. The metal ions, more noble than aluminium, then undergo a redox reaction, dissolve the surface layer of aluminium and form a deposit there. This intermediate layer of another metal then can be wetted with a solder. One example of such flux is a composition of triethanolamine, fluoroboric acid, and cadmium fluoroborate. More than 1% magnesium in the alloy however impairs the flux action, as the magnesium oxide layer is more refractory. Another possibility is an inorganic flux composed of zinc chloride or tin(II) chloride,[11] ammonium chloride, and a fluoride (e.g. sodium fluoride). Presence of silicon in the alloy impairs the flux effectivity, as silicon does not undergo the exchange reaction aluminium does.
Magnesium alloys. A putuative flux for soldering these alloys at low temperature is molten acetamide. Acetamide dissolves surface oxides on both aluminium and magnesium; promising experiments were done with its use as a flux for a tin-indium solder on magnesium.
Stainless steel is material which is difficult to solder because of its stable, self-healing surface oxide layer and its low thermal conductivity. A solution of zinc chloride in hydrochloric acid is a common flux for stainless steels; it has however to be thoroughly removed afterwards as it would cause pitting corrosion. Another highly effective flux is phosphoric acid; its tendency to polymerize at higher temperatures however limits its applications.
Fluxes have several serious drawbacks:
Corrosivity, which is mostly due to the aggressive compounds of the activators; hygroscopic properties of the flux residues may aggravate the effects
Interference with test equipment, which is due to the insulating residues deposited on the test contacts on electronic circuit boards
Interference with machine vision systems when the layer of flux or its remains is too thick or improperly located
Contamination of sensitive parts, e.g. facets of laser diodes, contacts of connectors and mechanical switches, and MEMS assemblies
Deterioration of electrical properties of printed circuit boards, as soldering temperatures are above the glass transition temperature of the board material and flux components (e.g. glycols, or chloride and bromide ions) can diffuse into its matrix; e.g. water-soluble fluxes containing polyethylene glycol were demonstrated to have such impact[12]
Deterioration of high-frequency circuit performance by flux residues
Deterioration of surface insulation resistance, which tends to be as much as three orders of magnitude lower than the bulk resistance of the material
Electromigration and growth of whiskers between nearby traces, aided by ionic residues, surface moisture and a bias voltage
The fumes liberated during soldering have adverse health effects, and volatile organic compounds can be outgassed during processing
The solvents required for post-soldering cleaning of the boards are expensive and may have adverse environmental impact
In special cases the drawbacks are sufficiently serious to warrant using fluxless techniques.
Acid flux types (not used in electronics) may contain hydrochloric acid, zinc chloride or ammonium chloride, which are harmful to humans. Therefore, flux should be handled with gloves and goggles, and used with adequate ventilation.
Prolonged exposure to rosin fumes released during soldering can cause occupational asthma (formerly called colophony disease[13] in this context) in sensitive individuals, although it is not known which component of the fumes causes the problem.[14]
While molten solder has low tendency to adhere to organic materials, molten fluxes, especially of the resin/rosin type, adhere well to fingers. A mass of hot sticky flux can transfer more heat to skin and cause more serious burns than a comparable particle of non-adhering molten metal, which can be quickly shaken off. In this regard, molten flux is similar to molten hot glue.
Fluxless techniques
In some cases the presence of flux is undesirable; flux traces interfere with e.g. precision optics or MEMS assemblies. Flux residues also tend to outgas in vacuum and space applications, and traces of water, ions and organic compounds may adversely affect long-term reliability of non-hermetic packages. Trapped flux residues are also the cause of most voids in the joints. Flux-less techniques are therefore desirable there.[15]
For successful soldering and brazing, the oxide layer has to be removed from both the surfaces of the materials and the surface of the filler metal preform; the exposed surfaces also have to be protected against oxidation during heating. Flux-coated preforms can also be used to eliminate flux residue entirely from the soldering process.[16]
Protection of the surfaces against further oxidation is relatively simple, by using vacuum or inert atmosphere. Removal of the native oxide layer is more troublesome; physical or chemical cleaning methods have to be employed and the surfaces can be protected by e.g. gold plating. The gold layer has to be sufficiently thick and non-porous to provide protection for reasonable storage time. Thick gold metallization also limits choice of soldering alloys, as tin-based solders dissolve gold and form brittle intermetallics, embrittling the joint. Thicker gold coatings are usually limited to use with indium-based solders and solders with high gold content.
Removal of the oxides from the solder preform is also troublesome. Fortunately some alloys are able to dissolve the surface oxides in their bulk when superheated by several degrees above their melting point; the Sn-Cu1 and Sn-Ag4 require superheating by 18-19 °C, the Sn-Sb5 requires as little as 10 °C, but the Sn-Pb37 alloy requires 77 °C above its melting point to dissolve its surface oxide. The self-dissolved oxide however degrades the solder's properties and increases its viscosity in molten state, this approach is therefore not optimal.Solder preforms are preferred to be with high volume-to-surface ratio, as that limits the amount of oxide being formed. Pastes have to contain smooth spherical particles, preforms are ideally made of round wire. The problem with preforms can be also sidestepped by depositing the solder alloy directly on the surfaces of the parts and/or substrates, by e.g. chemical or electrochemical means.
Protective atmosphere with chemically reducing properties can be beneficial in some cases. Molecular hydrogen can be used to reduce surface oxides of tin and indium at temperatures above 430 and 470 °C; for zinc the temperature is above 500 °C, where zinc is already becoming volatilized. (At lower temperatures the reaction speed is too slow for practical applications.) Very low partial pressures of oxygen and water vapor have to be achieved for the reaction to proceed.
Other reactive atmospheres are also in use. Vapors of formic acid and acetic acid are the most commonly used. Carbon monoxide and halogen gases (e.g. carbon tetrafluoride, sulfur hexafluoride, or dichlorodifluoromethane) require fairly high temperatures for several minutes to be effective.
Atomic hydrogen is much more reactive than molecular hydrogen. In contact with surface oxides it forms hydroxides, water, or hydrogenated complexes, which are volatile at soldering temperatures. The most practical dissociation method is probably an electrical discharge. Argon-hydrogen gas compositions with hydrogen concentration below the low flammable limit can be used, eliminating the safety issues. The operation has to be performed at low pressure, as the stability of atomic hydrogen at atmospheric pressure is insufficient. Such hydrogen plasma can be used for fluxless reflow soldering.
Active atmospheres are relatively common in furnace brazing; due to the high process temperatures the reactions are reasonably fast. The active ingredients are usually carbon monoxide (possibly in the form of combusted fuel gas) and hydrogen. Thermal dissociation of ammonia yields an inexpensive mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen.
Bombardment with atomic particle beams can remove surface layers at a rate of tens of nanometers per minute. The addition of hydrogen to the plasma augments the removal efficiency by chemical mechanisms.
Mechanical agitation is another possibility for disrupting the oxide layer. Ultrasound can be used for assisting tinning and soldering; an ultrasonic transducer can be mounted on the soldering iron, in a solder bath, or in the wave for wave soldering. The oxide disruption and removal involves cavitation effects between the molten solder and the base metal surface. A common application of ultrasound fluxing is in tinning of passive parts (active parts do not cope well with the mechanical stresses involved); even aluminium can be tinned this way. The parts can then be soldered or brazed conventionally.
Mechanical rubbing of a heated surface with molten solder can be used for coating the surface. Both surfaces to be joined can be prepared this way, then placed together and reheated. This technique was formerly used to repair small damages on aluminium aircraft skins.
Very thin layer of zinc can be used for joining aluminium parts. The parts have to be perfectly machined, or pressed together, due to the small volume of filler metal. At high temperature applied for long time, the zinc diffuses away from the joint. The resulting joint does not present a mechanical weakness and is corrosion-resistant. The technique is known as diffusion soldering.
Fluxless brazing of copper alloys can be done with self-fluxing filler metals. Such metals contain an element capable of reaction with oxygen, usually phosphorus. A good example is the family of copper-phosphorus alloys.
In soldering of metals, flux serves a threefold purpose: it removes any oxidized metal from the surfaces to be soldered, seals out air thus preventing further oxidation, and by facilitating amalgamation improves wetting characteristics of the liquid solder. Some fluxes are corrosive, so the parts have to be cleaned with a damp sponge or other absorbent material after soldering to prevent damage. Several types of flux are used in electronics.
A number of standards exist to define the various flux types. The principal standard is J-STD-004.
J-STD-004 characterizes the flux by type (e.g. Rosin (RO), Resin (RE), Organic (OR), Inorganic (IN)), its activity (strength of fluxing) and reliability of residue from a surface insulation resistance (SIR) and electromigration standpoint, and whether or not it contains halide activators.
This replaces the old MIL QQS standard which defined fluxes as:
R (Rosin)
RMA (Rosin mildly activated)
RA (Rosin activated)
WS (Water-soluble)
Any of these categories may be no-clean, or not, depending on the chemistry selected and the standard that the manufacturer requires.
Various tests, including the ROSE test, may be used after soldering to check for the presence of ionic or other contaminants that could cause short circuits or other problems.
J-STD-004 includes tests for electromigration and surface insulation resistance (which must be greater than 100 MΩ after 168 hours at elevated temperature and humidity with a DC bias applied).
Brazing and silver soldering
Brazing (sometimes known as silver soldering or hard soldering) requires a much higher temperature than soft soldering, sometimes over 850 °C. As well as removing existing oxides, rapid oxidation of the metal at the elevated temperatures has to be avoided. This means that fluxes need to be more aggressive and to provide a physical barrier.[17] Traditionally borax was used as a flux for brazing, but there are now many different fluxes available, often using active chemicals such as fluorides[18] as well as wetting agents. Many of these chemicals are toxic and due care should be taken during their use.
A related use of flux is to designate the material added to the contents of a smelting furnace or a cupola for the purpose of purging the metal of impurities, and of rendering the slag more liquid. The flux most commonly used in iron and steel furnaces is limestone, which is charged in the proper proportions with the iron and fuel. The slag is a liquid mixture of ash, flux, and other impurities.
Flux recovery
During the submerged arc welding process, not all flux turns into slag. Depending on the welding process, 50% to 90% of the flux can be reused.[19]
Metal salts as flux in hot corrosion
Hot corrosion can affect gas turbines operating in high salt environments (e.g., near the ocean). Salts, including chlorides and sulfates, are ingested by the turbines and deposited in the hot sections of the engine; other elements present in fuels also form salts, e.g. vanadates. The heat from the engine melts these salts which then can flux the passivating oxide layers on the metal components of the engine, allowing corrosion to occur at an accelerated rate.

More Germans arm themselves amid fears around refugees
Author: Thema Newsroom
High-profile attacks have made some Germans insecure, but the crime data is complex
On her website, 24-year-old German woman Carolin Matthie describes herself as a “model, author and influencer”. In recent months, however, she is better known for the gun she carries in a holster, tucked into the small of her back.
Now the Berlin university student is the poster girl for a growing number of Germans arming themselves with pepper spray, knuckle-dusters and other accessories of angst.
Matthie bought her gun after a close encounter in the summer of 2016. Walking home to her university dorm in a deserted area of the capital, six men began following her and shouted drunkenly after her in an unfamiliar language.
The men only disappeared, she said, when a security company car, on its hourly round, passed by chance.
Afraid she wouldn’t be so lucky a second time around, Matthie paid €50 for a gun licence and €189 for a Walther P99 air pistol. It looks like the real thing but is more a deterrent, she says, though she has not yet needed to draw it in public.
“Now I know what I can do in an emergency, I have a plan if I’m attacked and that feels better,” she told The Irish Times.
Raised in a country village, Matthie says she and her friends now often talk of a growing feeling of insecurity in Berlin. It’s a discussion she tracks back to the peak of Germany’s refugee crisis two years ago, when more than one million people arrived in the country within 12 months.
Germans’ initial welcome cooled after the Cologne new year’s attacks of two years ago, when gangs of young men – many of northern African origin – groped and raped women in the western German city.
Attacks on women
In the following six months, as a debate raged over the loss of public control in Germany, the number of applications for so-called “minor gun licences” – required to own an air pistol in Germany – jumped 75 per cent to 524,000.
Though numbers have steadied since, gun dealers see a correlation between sales spikes and new attacks on women by asylum seekers and refugees.
Last week, an Afghan asylum seeker claiming to be 15 – though suspected of being older – stabbed to death his 15-year-old ex-girlfriend in a jealous rage with an eight-inch kitchen knife.
Meanwhile, the trial is ongoing of an Iranian asylum seeker, who claimed to be 16 but has since admitted he is 33, for the rape and murder of a woman jogger in 2016.
German police insist that, despite a series of horrific crimes carried out by individual asylum seekers and refugees posing as minors, the juvenile crime rate is dropping.
A recent crime study in the state of Lower Saxony showed juvenile robberies down more than half on two decades ago, while minors carried out one-third fewer murders and manslaughters in the same period. However, the same report linked a disproportionate number of crimes to juvenile asylum seekers, both successful and failed, and other “illegal” groups.
In 2016, juvenile migrants carried out 3.5 times more crimes than two years earlier, the report said, although the refugee crisis saw the number of asylum seekers in Lower Saxony double in the same period.
Migrant groups
Far from proof of an explosion in refugee crime, the report’s authors make other qualifications – in particular how, in any population group, 14-30-year-old males are always the most criminal age cohort.
Finally, the report found a clear distinction between migrant groups, with no noticeable criminal statistic spike among young migrants from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq. The big problem are youths and young men from Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia who, in 2016, comprised just 0.9 per cent of the population of Lower Saxony but 17.1 per cent of criminal suspects.
The report’s bottom line: while there has been an increase in criminality from some refugee groups, the situation is too complicated to talk of an explosion in crime requiring a draconian crackdown.
But that is precisely the refrain of the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) and anti-Muslim Pegida group. The Dresden-based group has warned for years about an “invasion” of “rapefugees” while, this week, AfD deputy leader Beatrix von Storch was temporarily banned from Twitter after accusing German police of pandering to “barbaric, Muslim, gang-raping hordes of men”.
Rather than carry her air pistol forever, Carolin Matthie would like German politicians to accept responsibility for growing public insecurity and respond with greater police spending and greater transparency in criminal statistics.
“If someone attacks me, it’s immaterial to me if he is German or Arabic, what bothers me is when reporting and statistics play down the origin of the attacker,” she said. “We have a real problem with certain population groups, but because that is air-brushed out, people no longer believe criminal statistics and drift away to fringe parties. And they tar all Turks and Arabs with the same brush.”

Comic-Con TV Reporter Dresses as Princess Leia
John Edwards has a sex tape?
More at Zennie62.com | Follow me on Twitter! | Get my widget! | Visit YouTube | Visit UShow.com
In the story that will not die, we now learn that John Edwards, the former North Carolina Senator and VP running mate to John Kerry, now reportedly has a sex tape. According to Rush & Molloy, the gossip columnists of the New York Daily News, Edwards former aide Andrew Young just finished a book proposal that described first, that he is not the father of the child of Rielle Hunter, John Edwards mistress, second, that Young just happened to see a sexually-explicit videotape as he was unpacking after moving to California from the East Coast, where he lived with Rielle Hunter, Edwards' mistress, and Young's wife and family.
The story is known by now: in August of 2008, after the heat of the Democratic Primary had cleared and just before the Democratic National Convention, former Senator Edwards admitted he cheated on his wife Elizabeth starting in 2006, while she was battling breast cancer. The scandal was originally reported by the Enquirer as far back as November of 2007, and just a few blogs, including Zennie62, then called "Zennie's Zeitgeist" followed it.
Rielle Hunter was an amateur film-maker Edwards befriended in New York City in 2006, but the friendship turned into two things: a $200,000 video job for Hunter and an affair for Edwards. Then - aide Andrew Young told the media - or those new media types paying attention - that he was the person who had the affair with Hunter and evntually got her pregnant.
This video I created gives you a look at what Rielle Hunter did for Edwards on the campaign trail:
Now Young's changing his story, claiming there's a sex tape and he has it, stating that he's not the father of Hunter's child and that Edwards is, and throwing Edwards so far under the bus he's going to be ran over by it and have skid marks on his back.
The question is why, after all this time, would Andrew Young do this to his former boss? Loyalty can last forever, can't it? According to the Huffington Post, Young feels "betrayed" by the "once-friendly" Edwards family. That turnabout may have come at the hands of Elizabeth Edwards, as the NY Daily News claims it was she who blamed Young for being an "enabler" of Edwards affair with Hunter, even to the point of arranging cell phone calls between Edwards and Hunter. Reportedly, Ms. Edwards threatened to leak information about Young's criminal past.
And The Enquirer, which rose from tabloid obscurity to gain mainstream media attention by breaking this story, reports that Young expressed displeasure with Edwards after he visited Hunter just after the child was born last year. Then, just after Edwards admitted his affair in August of 2008, Fox News ran a post presenting Young's unfortunate past of arrests. Young, with his image damaged, felt backed into a corner and like any wounded animal, struck back with this new story. The real story.
(Some websites, like the Enquirer claim the story of Young's past came up in The Daily Beast, but that's not true. It was Fox News.)
That the Edwards matter has degenerated to this point is sad to say the least. A once-promising man and family have essentially reduced themselves to the point of slinging mud at former friends and vice versa and who knows who else is next, given that Elizabeth Edwards is writing a book too.

Rev Al Sharpton's amazing speech at Michael Jackson Memorial
More at Zennie62.com | Follow me on Twitter! | Get my widget!
On YouTube.com
One of the highlights of the Michael Jackson Memorial is an amazing speech given by the Rev. Al Sharpton. Sharpton's always a lighting rod for criticism for his "tell-it-like-it-is" style, and he presented it at the memorial. Sharpton gave one of the best speeches I've ever heard because it cut deep to the core reasons why many people love and defend Michael Jackson and for another reason: Jackson represents the growth of mainstream American Culture, where people paid less attention race and more attention to what they liked regardless of the skin color of the person who made what they liked.
Sharpton walked up and delivered an old-fashioned unplanned stump stemwinder speech. The kind I'd expect to hear from him in church. Here's the transcript of Sharpton's masterpiece presented by Seattlemedium.com:
All over the world today people are gathered in love viduals to celebrate the life of a man that taught the world how to love.
People may be wondering why there’s such an emotional outburst. But you would have to understand the journey of Michael to understand what he meant to all of us. For these that sit here as the Jackson family - a mother and father with nine children that rose from a working class family in Gary, Indiana - they had nothing but a dream.
No one believed in those days that this kind of dream could come true, but they kept on believing and Michael never let the world turn him around from his dreams. I first met Michael around the 1970 Black Expo, Chicago, Illinois. Rev. Jesse Jackson, who stood by this family till now, and from that day as a cute kid to this moment, he never gave up dreaming. It was that dream that changed culture all over the world. When Michael started, it was a different world. But because Michael kept going, because he didn’t accept limitations, because he refused to let people decide his boundaries, he opened up the whole world.
In the music world, he put on one glove, pulled his pants up and broke down the color curtain where now our videos are shown and magazines put us on the cover. It was Michael Jackson that brought Blacks and Whites and Asians and Latinos together. It was Michael Jackson that made us sing, “We are the World” and feed the hungry long before Live Aid.
Because Michael Jackson kept going, he created a comfort level where people that felt they were separate became interconnected with his music. And it was that comfort level that kids from Japan and Ghana and France and Iowa and Pennsylvania got comfortable enough with each other until later it wasn’t strange to us to watch Oprah on television. It wasn’t strange to watch Tiger Woods golf. Those young kids grew up from being teenage, comfortable fans of Michael to being 40 years old and being comfortable to vote for a person of color to be the President of the United States of America.
Michael did that. Michael made us love each other. Michael taught us to stand with each other. There are those that like to dig around mess. But millions around the world, we’re going to uphold his message. It’s not about mess, but it’s about his love message. As you climb up steep mountains, sometimes you scar your knee; sometimes you break your skin. But don’t focus on the scars, focus on the journey. Michael beat ‘em, Michael rose to the top. He out-sang his cynics, he out-danced his doubters; he out-performed the pessimists. Every time he got knocked down, he got back up. Every time you counted him out, he came back in. Michael never stopped. Michael never stopped. Michael never stopped.
I want to say to Mrs. Jackson and Joe Jackson, his sisters and brothers: We thank you for giving us someone that taught us love; someone who taught us hope. We want to thank you because we know it was your dream too.
We know that your heart is broken. I know you have some comfort from the letter from the President of the United States and Nelson Mandela. But this was your child. This was your brother. This was your brother. This was your cousin. Nothing will fill your hearts’ lost. But I hope the love that people are showing will make you know he didn’t live in vain. I want his three children to know: Wasn’t nothing strange about your Daddy. It was strange what your Daddy had to deal with. But he dealt with it…He dealt with it anyway. He dealt with it for us.
So, some came today, Mrs. Jackson, to say goodbye to Michael. I came to say, thank you. Thank you because you never stopped, thank you because you never gave up, thank you because you never gave out, thank you because you tore down our divisions. Thank you because you eradicated barriers. Thank you because you gave us hope. Thank you Michael. Thank you Michael. Thank you Michael!
Fox News Bill O'Reilly said Sharpton's speech was racist, but that's certainly not the dumbest thing I've ever heard O'Reilly say - his crack about not knowing "Black restaurants" could be nice places to go to takes the prize - but it's close.
The bottom line is Michael Jackson did change American Culture. Think about it. He became a singing star just four years after the passage of The Civil Rights Amendment in 1964 and continued to produce hit after hit to his death, all the time gaining fans around the World who didn't care what color his skin was; they just liked his music and him. That's powerful, and all the more so when one considers the racial problems we've seen and experienced. It's really gotten better and Jackson deserves a lot of credit for that.
Conservatives can't deal with anyone telling the truth about race relations, but they'd better start because it's their inability to understand how race relations have changed that has doomed the political future of conservatives and of the GOP.
A political party historically based on hating a racial group - as was true for the GOP for decades - can't survive when people of different colors are mating as one. Causing that in a small way is but one of Michael Jackson's gifts to society. If it's hard for you to deal with that fact, one of the "hard facts that create America" as President Lincoln would say, you're not American at all because you don't get your own country.

Criticality in models for fracture in disordered media
Caldarelli, Guido and Castellano, Claudio and Petri, Alberto Criticality in models for fracture in disordered media. Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 270 (1–2). 15 - 20. ISSN 0378-4371 (1999)
It has been recently noticed that heterogeneous media undergoing a fracturing process display a set of properties characteristic of systems at the critical state. In the present work we focus on the way in which the critical regime is reached. It is possible to define a branching ratio, for the breaking processses in the material, that represents the probability to trigger future breakdowns given an initial failure. This probability takes the value 1 when the system is critical thereby representing a measure of the distance of the system from the critical state. We show that, although the models considered in literature become really critical only in correspondence of the global failure, different dynamical rules may drive the system close to the critical state at different rates, such that the duration of the “quasi-critical” stage largely varies from model to model.

MSTRKRFT Fist of God
By Sarah Ferguson
Hitting with emotional impact (like an Armand Van Helden house track), MSTRKRFT's sublime electronic melody is partnered with gorgeous vocal work by L'il Mo on album opener "It Ain't Love." Could this be the new electro anthem for women whose men are jerks? It is the first track on Fist of God by MSTRKRFT (aka Al-P and Jesse F. Keeler, or JFK), Toronto, ON's electronic mavens of badass party music. Alongside L'il Mo there are many skilled vocalists and MCs onboard this project, including N.O.R.E. (of NY's Capone and Noreaga) and Isis from Thunderheist (coming together on party track "Bounce"). This is deep beat-based music with amorous hooks in the big beat electro stratosphere. The songs hold humanistic wisdom to balance the hedonistic partying. "Heartbreaker," featuring John Legend, conveys with deep strength a man's experience with a woman who cheats (over a gorgeous, house-influenced piano rhythm). But it's not all tragic stories of love and loss. "So Deep," featuring Jahmal from the Carps, describes a woman whose beauty defies the norm. Expect Fist of God to reap a bounty at home and abroad. (Last Gang)

Antarctica Expedition: Humpback Whales!
Aquarium senior educator Jo Blasi is on expedition to Antarctica to help study the impact of climate change in these areas and changes in the marine ecosystem. She will be live blogging frequently about the expedition, research technologies and marine life encountered during the trip.
Palmer LTER researchers work to understand the changes occurring along the Western Antarctic Peninsula by monitoring the ecosystem. That means studying everything here, including water chemistry and currents, bacteria, phytoplankton and krill. I bet you can't guess the largest item on the list? Whales! Dave Johnston and Zach Swaim (a former contributor to the Right Whale Research Blog!) of Duke University are guest contributors to this research expedition, studying the large marine mammals, such as whales and seals, in the Palmer LTER area. Check out Zach’s blogs as part of the New England Aquarium’s Right Whale Team.

As a new research component under the LTER project, it is important to catalogue and study whales and seals as top predators of the Antarctic system. Studying whales is not easy. The whale team has to first obtain special permits from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that allow them to do their research. The next step was finding the whale, which I must admit is not an easy task in the open ocean! Fortunately, the whale team has lots of help. Once a whale spout is seen and the timing is right, the researchers spring into action…or more accurately into a zodiac. Then it’s off to find the whale.

(Photo: Jo Blasi/Palmer LTER)
Once the whale is located, it’s time to try and gather as much information as possible. Dave and Zach try to get a good picture of the underside of the whale’s fluke, or tail. Each fluke pattern is unique, like a fingerprint, so it helps to identify the whale. The photographs also help them recognize if the whale has already been documented before or if it needs to be added to the research catalogue. All of the IDs collected on this trip will be submitted to a catalogue of Antarctic whales curated by the College of the Atlantic in Maine. (FYI, the Aquarium keeps the catalogue of North Atlantic Right Whales.)

In addition to photographs, Dave and Zach try to get a biopsy, or a small tissue sample from as many whales as possible. The tissue samples can be tested for DNA and lipids, or fats. These two things tell researchers about the health of the whale like where it might have been seen before and other crucial data. The technology used to get that sample? A crossbow!
Gear ready to go in the zodiac
Combined with a small biopsy arrow, the crossbow allows the researchers to get a very small tissue sample from the whale without getting too close. After locating a whale and getting some fluke and dorsal fin photographs, Dave or Zach take aim for a spot below the dorsal fin and then shoot. The dart sails through the air, hits the whale and then falls back into the water, waiting to be retrieved by the zodiac crew.
Biopsy dart flies through the air
Dart floating after a successful biopsy
If the shot was successful, the dart has a small piece of dark-colored skin tissue and lighter-colored blubber. (As Aquarium researchers report in this post, the process is minimally invasive and when done correctly elicits little or no reaction from the whale.) Once the samples are collected from the animals, it’s back to the lab to preserve the samples. The samples are removed from the dart and then prepared for the trip back to the United States. After the tests are run and the identity confirmed, the researchers will have a better understanding of the whale population that’s here in the Palmer LTER region.
Tissue sample from a humpback whale
The LTER area is an important feeding ground for humpback and minke whales, leopard and crabeater seals as well as other marine mammals. As sea ice declines, temperatures warm and other changes occur along the Western Antarctic Peninsula and this often times means changes to the ecosystem for these animals. It is necessary to study these top predators because scientists need to understand what their populations are like now and anticipate the impacts to the ecosystem in the future. By joining the cruise this season, Dave and Zach are helping to complete the picture of what changes are occurring at all levels of the food web in the Palmer LTER region.

Moving on From March 11
March 11 or 3/11, as it is often referred will be forever ingrained in the minds of many who suffered around the Tohoku region. First at the hands of a devastating mega earthquake and then compounded by the deadly rush of violent tsunamis washing away anything lying in its destructive path. We explore how not only individuals but whole communities have moved on from that fateful day.
Housing Update
The Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures were hit hardest by the waves of destruction triggered by the world’s fourth most powerful earthquake. The results were almost 340,000 people being displaced across the Tohoku region, temporary or fabricated housing was the only option for most families.
Fukushima, which already had a serious housing problem, was further complicated by the meltdown of several Nuclear Reactors in the area. This meant more than 160,000 people needed to evacuate to a safe distance to avoid radiation poisoning.
Currently, it is estimated that as part of the rebuilding process all government provided housing will be completed by March 2019, with around 90% of housing already being constructed.
(Photo by The Asahi Shimbun via Getty Images)
At the time of writing, it has been reported that 73,000 people have been unable to return to their hometowns, and that includes 34,000 from Fukushima alone.
Onagawa, Miyagi Prefecture
Sometimes when we are down, it gives us a chance at fresh beginnings, and the one town carries that exact motto is Onagawa in Miyagi Prefecture. A quaint little coastal town, it too was flattened by the devastating tsunami. Waves of more than 17 metres high were responsible for taking out 70% of the structures here and claimed the lives of almost 10% of the local population.
The rebuilding process is probably a tale that should be the inspiration for many rural cities across the country, both existing and recovering. It should also help to reinvigorate a sense of enthusiasm and help to attract a new generation of ambitious Japanese people with an entrepreneurial flair.
Since the rebirth of the new town hub, the startup scene has blossomed, and with it a community that is ready to take the town forward into the future. To get a better sense of what I am talking about, you may also want to watch a recent video posted by ‘Abroad in Japan’s’, which shows off some of the incredible story’s of people’s contribution to the revival of Onagawa.
Sendai Aiport
The force of the tsunami didn’t just clear out entire towns but also damaged vital infrastructure like Sendai’s Airport, located in Miyagi Prefecture. The landing strip and other connecting roads were drowned in water, the terminals and air traffic control tower were flooded, flight hangars were damaged and debris and cars literally left scattered across the site. The damage and flooding left by the water rendered most of the facility inoperable and swept away any aircraft or ground equipment left in its wake.
As the water resided the massive clean up began, and locals, volunteers from across the country and the military all contributed to clearing the wreckage. Clearly, there was a lot of effort required to clear what remained of the wave of destruction, with cars and other waste obstructing access to the airport terminal. However, the need for relief was dire, and so within a mere 6 days, a lot of the debris had been cleared and the airport was opened to military aid. A month later domestic commercial flights restarted and gradually more and more services were added as capacity increased. Domestic services became fully operative in the summer later that year.
The International airport had suffered a worse fate, and so substantial rebuilds were required to bring it back to any kind of operation. Success was achieved by October 2011, and the International Terminal was 100% back in action by March the following year, as it was serving 90 flights a day.
It is now March 2018, a few days after the anniversary of the worst natural disaster to rock this nation, and we still see there are stories of both hope and struggle. However, with the uplifting accounts of how places like Onagawa and Sendai Airport were rebuilt and have begun to prosper again, we can only hope that this helps to inspire more cities and prefectures to band together. Bringing these towns closer can not only help to build strength in the community but also help them to think and move forward toward a healthy future.
A bright future

Now reading: Four Towns, A Biosphere, Penguins & Whales – Clarence Drive Has It All
Four Towns, A Biosphere, Penguins & Whales – Clarence Drive Has It All
Clarence Drive is one of the most stunning coastal drives in the world. It’s every bit as exciting as Chapman’s Peak, without the cost of the toll.
Forming part of Route 44 Clarence Drive hugs an incredibly scenic portion of the coast just south east of Cape Town, connecting the seaside towns of Rooi Els and Betty’s Bay – the Hottentot Hollands Mountains on one side, the ocean on the other.
Seventy seven bends, numerous wide curves and a couple of sharp corners – with plenty of opportunity to pull over, hop out of your vehicle and survey the beauty of what lies before you (including whales during winter) – makes up one of the flattest ‘mountain passes’ you’ll ever drive…
The road is in excellent condition, named after Jack Clarence, one of three men to buy the land in the area, subsequently selling it for holiday homes to create the villages of Rooi Els, Pringle Bay and Betty’s Bay. The other two men were Harold Porter and Arthur Youldon (Betty’s Bay was named after Youldon’s daughter, Betty).
It’s a good thing that anything over 60 kilometres an hour feels a little giddy, as you’re going to want to drive Clarence Drive as slowly as you can (rather go during the week, if you can, when weekend bumper-crowders aren’t on the road).
Officially Clarence Drive begins only at Rooi Els, but Route 44 starts at Gordon’s Bay and, for interest’s sake, we’ve rated the highlights of the whole route, from Gordon’s Bay to Betty’s Bay, after which it merges with Route 43.
SPARK’S BAY DAY CAMP
It’s easy to drive straight past Spark’s Bay. But the City of Cape Town keep this little day camp, complete with picnic tables and toilets, in good nick (even the loos were reasonably clean, but take your own bog roll). Spark’s Bay lies further up the coast from Dappat Se Gat and the Kogel Bay camping area.
It’s a beautiful space for a picnic, or fishing on the edge of the ocean, the mountain looming above you. We could easily have set up our picnic chairs for a sit-in. The views from here of the single spur of mountain that spreads over at least ten miles all the way to Hangklip (Hanging Rock) is nothing short of spectacular.
Our tip: Go a little further, beyond the loos into the next bay, and you’ll find a sandy beach and a tidal pool.
ROOI ELS
Rooi Els is the very first seaside village you come to after leaving Gordon’s Bay. It’s also the smallest of the towns along Clarence Drive, and one of the prettiest.
You’ll pass over the Rooi Els River bridge in a wide sweep and head up the hill towards the exit off Clarence Drive, but not before spotting, out of the corner of your eye, the landmark ‘Beach House’ – a huge steel framed box with a hull shaped roof that sits right on the far edge of the bay.
Our tip: Coral Gardens, an inshore rocky reef, is popular amongst divers; Rooi-Els Cave, which you can explore was where Stone Age relics were discovered; no street lights, only a few tarred roads and an untamed beach.
PRINGLE BAY
Pringle Bay was originally the name given to the land between Rooi Els and Pringle Bay in the late 1700s, when plans were afoot to turn the area into a port to ship produce across False Bay to the naval base at Simon’s Town. Thankfully this didn’t happen, and the quaint little village on the mouth of the Buffels River was left to while away time at a different pace from Cape Town.
A group of artists, retirees and restaurant owners live here permanently, either as close to the sea as possible, or up the mountainside for the views.
Our tip: The little hub in the centre of town is worth a detour off Route 44 for its coffee shops, gift stores, deli and restaurants. Pringle Bay’s beach is particularly impressive, and hike to Hangklip Lighthouse from the Maasbaai slipway is a must.
One of only two land-based penguin colonies in South Africa, Stony Point is home to the Jackass or African penguin. The abandoned whaling station, Stony Point, lies on the western edge of Betty’s Bay.
Our tip: a cheaper and less crowded alternative to Boulders Beach.
BETTY’S BAY
A popular weekend getaway venue, just about everyone in Cape Town either owns a beach pad here, or knows someone who does.
The beaches and sand dunes are incredible and town, although now a little bigger than some would like (and said to be the ‘longest’ seaside village in the country – 13 km along the coastline), most residents adhere to the conservation rules leaving their homes enclosed by fynbos rather than walls, roads remain untarred and there is no sign of street lights.
Our tip: The Palmiet River Trail, GaBoli Chocolate for sheer decadence, or John the Potter.
HAROLD PORTER BOTANICAL GARDENS
A more demure version of Kirstenbosch, Harold Porter is no less beautiful for the views that extend down the slopes of the garden and beyond to the sea. There are several trails here, including the easy, but beautiful, Leopard’s Kloof Trail.
Our tip: look out for the carpenter bee pole at the corner of the entrance building.
The heart of Kleinmond is its Harbour Road. A short road, it veers off right relatively soon after entering Kleinmond to culminate in a waterfront lifestyle venture. Give the R44 Main Road, with its cumbersome Spar and over-abundance of dentists, a skip.
Our tip: wild horses have free run of the Botriver lagoon marshes between Kleinmond and the Arabella Western Cape Hotel & Spa. You can row from Kleinmond’s beach up the lagoon and river.
KOGELBERG NATURE RESERVE
The whole coastline of Route 44 falls within the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve. It protects a portion of the Cape Floral Kingdom that is particularly species-dense with a floral diversity per unit area far greater than anywhere else in the world.
Within it lies the Kogelberg Nature Reserve, 18 000 hectares of wilderness, particularly beautiful for having been isolated for so long. Don’t let the address fool you, the reserve’s entrance is nowhere near Franschhoek, but is closer to Kleinmond.
Our tip: hikes in the reserve are inspirational.

BTB-Vella Munn Touch of the Wolf Author's Spotlight Tour & Giveaway!!!
Welcome to For Whom The Books Toll. Today is my stop on this wonderful tour. So, please stay a while and make yourselves comfortable and enjoy the excerpt.
Why did I write Touch Of The Wolf? There are a lot of reasons but location is at the core of it. Setting is as vital to me as characterization and plot. Once a setting emotionally speaks to me, I won’t/can’t rest until I’ve immersed myself in the land.
Touch Of The Wolf is set in Washington State’s Olympic National Forest, one of the most pristine ecosystems in the United States. It’s the country’s largest and best example of a virgin temperate rain forest, home to the largest herd of Roosevelt elk.
But Olympic is more than a delight for biologists, hikers, and photographers. From the first moment I walked into the forest I knew I’d entered a magical place. Cell phones don’t work here, there are no roads into the interior, and past and present become one. Surrounded by massive Sitka spruce and western hemlock with lush ferns, mosses, and likens all around, I was transported back hundreds, even thousands of years. This is where the Pacific Northwest Native Americans not just lived but flourished. The rivers were (and still are) home to salmon, a rich food source the natives considered sacred.
Hiking alone, I gave myself over to the country’s mystical quality. A constant drizzle sang to me and I began to believe the spirits of ancient Natives were watching me wondering if I was capable of understanding why they considered Olympic a gift from their spirits. As a modern woman, I can never completely comprehend their ties to their spirits, but I could and did create a modern man whose roots sink deep into the loamy earth. I coupled him with a woman who knows nothing about her past but senses that the truth lies in this sacred setting.
Winter Barstow, so named because as a child she was abandoned in Barstow California in winter, comes to Olympia looking for the university anthropologist who gave her life purpose and sent her an authentic Native American ceremonial wolf mask. The mask speaks to her as nothing ever has, but she doesn’t dare show it to the Native American park ranger with compelling black eyes—a man who awakens the woman in her.
A man determined to keep an ancient truth from her even as he fears for her life.
I see Touch of the Wolf as more than a paranormal romantic suspense. Winter is a woman determined to solve a murder while looking for a sense of belonging and a man struggling to bridge his heritage and the modern world.
Title: Touch of the Wolf
Author: Vella Munn
Publisher: Entangled Publishing-Ignite Imprint
Abandoned as a child, Winter Barstow is a woman without a family history and with few clues to lead her in the right direction. When a stolen artifact from the Olympic National Forest arrives at her door, Winter travels to the remote outpost in Washington in search of who sent it to her and why. Instead of answers, she finds the handsome, yet moody Forest Ranger Jay Raven hiding from his heritage.
Jay’s attraction to Winter is instantaneous, and powerful. To admit it, however, means Jay must recognize a culture he’s left behind—something he’s not willing to do. But when Winter discovers the body of her college mentor, her life is in danger and only the call of the wolf can lead Jay to her side and back to his Native American ways.
And a love strong enough to offer both.
As Winter continues her search for the thieves, she becomes a target for killers. Now Winter and Jay must embrace their heritage and the spirit of the wolf to save Winter’s life, as well as the love that has brought them home.
“Peace and renewal. That is what Cha’lak’at’sit has always meant to the Chalat. The river was a gift from K’wati, who intended it to provide for our people. Whatever we decide now must be done with traditional Hoh belief in mind.”
Jay Raven rubbed his aching right shoulder, doing his best to pay attention to his uncle. At thirty, Jay was in the best shape of his life, but that didn’t mean he was Superman. “I knew he’d say that,” he whispered to his brother, who stood next to him on the banks of the Cha’lak’at’sit—or as the non-Natives called it, the Hoh River—near where it fed into the Pacifi c Ocean in Western Washington. “Our uncle and the rest of the elders will always see everything in the context of the past.”
Floyd jerked his head at the cedar canoe they’d pulled onto the gravel shore after bringing their uncle to where the Narrow Roaring Creek stretch began. “They’re going to be at this for hours. At least we’ll be moving with the river’s flow when we head back.”
“Fighting the current about did me in. Thanks for the help.”
“No sweat, bro. I knew you couldn’t get Uncle here on your own. I wish he’d sit down.”
So did Jay, but Uncle Talio was doing what he believed he’d been born to do.
“Seeing so many of the Chalat here today fills me with gratitude.” Uncle Talio turned in a semicircle, connecting with the over one hundred Hoh Native Americans who’d come for the meeting. “This shows that the decision we’ve been asked to make means a great deal to you.” He shifted position, leaning more of his weight on his cane. “Before I read the request from Dr. Anthony Gilsdorf, I’ll try to make sure everyone understands the ramifications should we decide to have anything to do with the anthropologist.”
It had rained last night, and judging by the sodden clouds, Jay figured another downpour wasn’t far off. He’d grown up in and around Olympic National Forest. He didn’t quite have webbed feet, but as he’d told the woman he’d naively thought he’d spend his life with, one reason he’d left the Northwest rain forest was so he wouldn’t grow gills.
Leaving hadn’t lasted long, but he’d changed during those years while the forest remained the same. A thousand years after his death, this wet realm would endure. Ancient moss-studded Sitka spruce and western hemlock would still rise above mats of vine maples and fern. Maybe he should stop distancing himself from his heritage and let it absorb him as it had his uncle and other members of the small tribe.
Only he couldn’t.
“Until whites ventured inland from the ocean,” Uncle Talio continued, “the river and the land around it was home to us and the other tribes. But even then our ancient way of life had been threatened by the newcomers’ diseases. Now what remains of the Chalat live near the mouth of the river we love, even as it slowly steals what little land we still have.”
“Did he have to bring this up?” Floyd muttered. “That anthropologist’s request has nothing to do with erosion.”
Jay smelled booze on Floyd’s breath, but Floyd wasn’t drunk. As many times as he’d tried to get Floyd sober, he knew the signs.
When Uncle Talio was acting in his role as a tribal Old People, he tended to sound as if he barely understood English, but just because he’d grown up speaking Quinault didn’t mean he was cut off from the twenty-fi rst century. He simply preferred to live in the past.
Jay’s shoulders weren’t the only part of his body that ached. His back threatened to knot, and his knees were tender from supporting his weight the whole time Uncle Talio, Floyd, and he had been in the canoe. As an Olympic National Park ranger, he was accustomed to spending his days on his feet, not struggling with the seldom-used but well-maintained canoe.
That’s what he was, he reminded himself as Uncle Talio held up a deerskin decorated with the tribe’s symbol of a stylized eagle and a salmon—a forest ranger. He was proud of who he was; he just didn’t want his heritage to define his every moment.
Vella Munn cut her writing teeth penning confessions. At the time she had two preschoolers and not enough time or confidence to write anything longer. She hit the confession wall after writing, “I Was An Unwed Father”, and moved onto category romances. Some 30 romances for the major romance publishers later, she dove into historicals and wrote nine Native American historicals for Tor/Forge. Under a pen name she has written mumble-mumble erotic romances for a variety of publishers and self-published. The electronic publishing explosion excites her and she sees endless possibilities. It’s a crazy exciting time for writers and readers. A longtime member of Novelists Inc., an organization for multi-published fiction writers, she is grateful for the knowledge, experience, and support of fellow members.
Her favorite genre has always been romantic suspense and she’s delighted to be part of Entangled’s Ignite line where hopefully her out-of-the-box imagination won’t have people thinking she needs a padded room.

Paul Mc:
I have to say that, although, I enjoyed the show it was nowhere near as good as the last times I saw Yes, on the ABWH tours.
The new material is unenthralling, although "Homeworld/the Ladder" works well. The new members did not impress me. I doubted whether Billy Sherwood's guitar was plugged in half the time, actually, and as for Igor - his playing was very subdued and one-handed, as a competent keyboard player myself, I'd say I could replicate any of the parts he played with no preparation. Shades of Tony Kaye, instead of Wakeman or Moraz, or even Downes.
White is an uninspired, unsubtle drummer and Squire, despite capturing something of his old self, left me cold, they're chugging beats seemed more appropriate to an ambitious pub rock band, than two the supergroup of yore.
Two members stand out: Howe and Anderson were on great form. The band only reached vertical take off on quite magnificent versions of "And You and I" ,"Awaken" and "Perpetual Change".
Why did they resurrect the cringeworthy "Hearts" instead of "It Can Happen" or "leave It" from 90125.
To be honest, if they same line-up returns to madrid in the next few months, I shan't be going to see them.
Pedro Gonz�lez:
What a delicious night!
La Riviera, the spanish House of Yes, gave an outstanding ovation to the group when the fisrt chords of YIND began to full the air with renovated promises of a band that seems to be in one of their best times. We, the spanish admirers, have not been very lucky in Yes world tours. Since ABWH concerts, Yes troup has not visited our country and, obviously, we all were anxious. Last friday night was the expected night, the time to hear to one of the most particular and emotive rock groups in the musical scene.
It was 21:15 PM when the excited crowd began to call, shouting, to the group. Everything was prepared and the first bars of The Firebird suite preceded a very nice execution of YIND. Steve Howe played his guitars with a mix of profesionality and delight that captivated the audience repeatedly. It could be heared people shouting: "torero, torero, torero". Billy Sherwood is a nice guy (he was very kind signing our programs after the show) who gives to the band some good samples of singing and guitar playing. Igor is a very talented keyboard player who fits perfectly in the band. Squire is powerful and enthusiastic, always jumping around and enjoying the performing of the songs. Alan White has got clear eyes and gives to the band the solid ground that the music needs. Jon Anderson sings as ever: fragile, emotive and clear.
All the old songs were very well received by the crowd (over 2.000 people). A very special mention to AYAI and to AWAKEN. Both of them were very well played with some new arrangements which delighted to all of us. The new songs are very interesting. Themes like HOMEWORLD offer us a new dimension of the group, music to listen and to enjoy with special feelings. Yes has got the particular habiliy to make music which captures the ear of the audience in a way that produces surprise. Yes music is like �the eagle in the sky� in OWNER: dancing one and only�
It was a beautiful night. All of us would like to receive Yes in Spain some more times. All of us would like too to listen to the group sitting in a concert hall and see our minds transported again to the wonderful Yes hills.
Come back soon.

Hapa-Haole Music
Traditional Hawaiian music was based upon mele oli and mele hula as performed in the pre-Western-contact era. Mele oli means plain chanting, while mele hula signifies chanting accompanied by hula.
Subsequently, mele hula kuʻi – chant and dance style with western influences – developed in the late-19th and early 20th centuries from mele hula. These three forms served as the foundations of authentic Hawaiian music.
In 1879 in Hawaiʻi, Portuguese musicians (Madeira Islanders) played on “strange instruments, which are a kind of cross between a guitar and a banjo, but which produce very sweet music” (this Madeiran guitar, the machete, was destined to become the Hawaiian ʻukulele.) (Hawaiian Gazette – September 3, 1879)
In about 1889, Joseph Kekuku began sliding a piece of steel across the strings of a guitar, thus inventing steel guitar (kika kila); at about the same time, traditional Hawaiian music with English lyrics became popular.
All of this helped set the foundational sound for a new music in Hawaiʻi.
From about 1895 to 1915, Hawaiian music dance bands became in demand more and more. These were typically string quintets. Ragtime music influenced the music, and English words were commonly used in the lyrics.
This type of Hawaiian music, influenced by popular music and with lyrics being a combination of English and Hawaiian (or wholly English), is called hapa haole (literally: half white) music.
In 1903, Albert “Sonny” Cunha composed “My Waikīkī Mermaid,” arguably the first popular hapa haole song; two years later he wrote “Honolulu Tom Boy,” which became immensely popular. (The earliest known hapa haole song, “Eating of the Poi”, was published in Ka Buke o na Leo Mele Hawaii…o na Home Hawaii in Honolulu in 1888.)
Sonny Cunha was also known as a talented pianist who incorporated the piano into a Hawaiian orchestra for the first time. As a composer, pianist and orchestra leader, Cunha attracted many audiences – residents and visitors alike – with his new type of music; although pure Hawaiian songs still retained their popularity among kamaʻaina residents.
The new style and tempo of Cunha’s music came to exert an enormous influence on another musician, Johnny Nobel (later called the ‘Hawaiian Jazz King;’) in 1918 Noble joined Cunha’s band on drums and xylophones, and thus embraced the new style of music. Nobel also learned composition from Cunha and began to compose in the new style of Hawaiian music.
Noble’s first rise to fame came as the leader of a major hotel orchestra, at the Moana Hotel. He felt that jazz and Hawaiian music blended beautifully and immediately began to shape the sound of the orchestra. With no brass in the orchestra, the mellow sound they produced became the standard of the time.
As a composer and arranger, Noble really became a great composer of hapa haole tunes including, “My Little Grass Shack”, “King Kamehameha” and “Hula Blues.” He was responsible for ‘jazzing up’ and making popular the traditional “Hawaiian War Chant” song.
In 1935, Noble became the first Hawaiian composer inducted into The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.
The hapa-haole sound was a “new wave” in the Hawaiian music scene. The new sound undeniably met the tastes and attitudes of the audience in Waikīkī in the first half of the twentieth century.
The lyrics usually expressed attractive images of Waikīkī – sand, surf, palm trees and hula girls. The new style of Hawaiian music responded to the transformation of the American pop music scene. From 1900 to 1915, it was based upon simple ragtime rhythms and sometimes upon waltz-like melodies.
The hapa-haole sound adopted jazz and blues from 1916 to the 1930s and then it incorporated the big-band sounds from the 1940s to the 1950s, rock ‘n roll in the 1950s and surf-style in the 1960s.
As time went by, the sound became less and less Hawaiian, despite its lyrics referring to Hawaiʻi.
At the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco, hapa-haole songs were featured in the Hawaii exhibits. The Hawaiian songs accompanied by ukulele fascinated the audience and triggered a Hawaiian boom on the mainland.
By 1916, there were hundreds of Hapa Haole (half “foreign”) tunes written. That same year, reportedly more Hawaiian records were sold on the mainland than any other type of music. And they came in all the popular styles of the day: in ragtime, blues, jazz, foxtrot and waltz tempos, as “shimmy” dances and–even–in traditional hula tempos, but jazzed up a bit.
In 1935, a radio program began, broadcasting live from the Banyan Court of the Moana Hotel on the beach at Waikīkī, and radios nationwide tuned in to hear “Hawaii Calls.” Not only did nearly every island entertainer cut his or her teeth on the program, many went on to become well known.
A number of non-Hawaiian continental musicians exploited the marketable commodity. Songs like “Yacka Hula Hicky Dula” and “Oh How She Could Yacki Hacki Wicki Wacki Woo” reflected the Hawaiian vogue, but did not represent the hapa-haole sounds in the true sense.
In Waikīkī, composers and musicians carefully blended Hawaiian music with jazz and blues, and attached the music to the Waikīkī landscape.

Hula ‘Auana
The Panama-Pacific International Exposition was held in San Francisco in 1915 to celebrate the completion of the Panama Canal, as well as support San Francisco’s recovery from the devastating 1906 earthquake and fire.
The Exposition looked to the future for innovation. Things we take for granted today – cars, airplanes, telephones, and movies – were in their infancy and were shown off at the fair, and some well-known technological luminaries were involved in the fair.
The San Francisco Exposition was also the launching site for broader awareness of hula ‘auana, contemporary hula – it was featured in the Hawaii exhibits.
There, ‘Princess Lei Lokelani’ performed traditional foot movements – ku‘i and ‘uwehe – to modern ‘ukulele and steel guitar songs – this also launched the hapa-haole (half “foreign”) hula phenomenon into broader markets. (Wianecki)
There are many different types of hula. Today, hula has been divided into two main categories; hula ‘auana and hula kahiko, also known as modern hula and ancient hula.
Within the ancient hula, or hula kahiko, there are several different type; to begin with, the three basic ancient dances hula pahu, hula ku‘i and hula ‘āla‘apapa provide the starting point for the kahiko dances we see today.
The hula pahu dances were, originally a part of heiau, or temple, rituals and were danced in honor of “the akua – Kāne, Kanaloa, Kū and Lono – the ‘state gods’, who had been recognized by all Hawaiians and were intimately involved in Polynesian cosmology and the ordering of Hawaiian society”. (Kaepple)
After the overthrow of the Hawaiian religious system in 1819, by the Hawaiians themselves, the rituals were transferred to honor ‘aumākua (deified ancestors) who had not been overthrown, such as Pele, Laka and Kapo.
The hula pahu dances are defined by a certain rhythmic pattern and by certain chants. They are danced to the beats of the pahu drum.
The movements of the hula pahu originally objectified or embodied the work of kahuna (priests or spiritual mentors) and was according to legend, brought to Hawai‘i, along with the pahu drum, from Tahiti by La‘amaikahiki.
The hula ku‘i originated in the Kalākaua era, and had its first public appearance during the coronation ceremonies of King Kalākaua in 1883. The hula ku‘i is accompanied by mele, and usually instruments like the guitar or the ‘ukulele. The dance style is softer than the hula pahu, yet not as soft as the modern ‘auana
The hula ‘āla‘apapa is an ancient hula that is accompanied by chant, and danced to the rhythm of the double gourd ipu, ipu heke, with “vigorous and bombastic” movements. The dance is performed in a standing position, and the ho‘opa‘a is responsible for both the rhythm and the chanting.
The ‘ōlapa/ku‘i dances and the ‘āla‘apapa dances are very much alike to the untrained eye, but differences lie in the movement and rhythmic patterns and the flow of the chants.
Mele hula kuʻi – chant and dance style with western influences – developed in the late-19th and early 20th centuries from mele hula. These three forms served as the foundations of authentic Hawaiian music. (Torgersen)
At the corner of what is now Baker Street and Marina Boulevard in San Francisco’s Marina District was where the Hawaiian Pavilion stood during the Panama-Pacific International Exposition.
These Hawaiian shows had the highest attendance at the entire fair and launched a Hawaiian cultural craze that influenced everything from American music, to movies, to fashion. (Mushet)
“The hugely popular Hawaii pavilion … showcased Hawaiian music and hula dancing, and was the unofficial launching pad for ukulele-mania.” Hapa-haole songs were featured in the Hawaii exhibits.
The ‘Princess’ was 15-year old Elizabeth Jonia Leilokelani Shaw; she and her family were a hit at the Exposition – Shaw had moved from the Islands to Portland with her family. Her first professional performance was at the exposition; she later danced contemporary hula in vaudeville.
Hula ‘auana are always accompanied by mele, and have soft and floating movements. The ‘auana is also inspired by the hula of the 20th century up until the late 1960s, including the hapa haole styled hula. (Torgersen)
The costumes of the hula ‘auana are different from the kahiko costumes, which usually involve a pā‘ū (hula skirt) and a top to match the pā‘ū for female dancers, and a malo (loincloth) for the male dancers, as well as anklets, wristlets and a headpiece made from traditional hula plants and flowers.
The ‘auana costumes often involve mu‘umu‘u (long dress or gown) for women and black pants, a shirt and sash for the men. The women often have large headpieces made from flowers and greens and may wear shoes as part of the costume.
The kahiko dances must always be danced barefoot, and the dancer is not allowed any jewelry or excessive makeup. (Torgersen)
By 1916, there were hundreds of Hapa Haole tunes written. That same year, reportedly more Hawaiian records were sold on the mainland than any other type of music. And they came in all the popular styles of the day: in ragtime, blues, jazz, foxtrot and waltz tempos, as “shimmy” dances and–even–in traditional hula tempos, but jazzed up a bit.

“The hugely popular Hawaii pavilion … showcased Hawaiian music and hula dancing, and was the unofficial launching pad for ukulele-mania.” Hapa-haole songs were featured in the Hawaii exhibits and hula ‘auana, contemporary hula was born.
‘Princess Lei Lokelani’ performed traditional foot movements – ku‘i and ‘uwehe – to modern ‘ukulele and steel guitar songs – this also launched the hapa-haole hula phenomenon into broader markets. (Wianecki)
Today, hula has been divided into two main categories; hula ‘auana and hula kahiko, also known as modern hula and ancient hula.
By 1916, there were hundreds of Hapa Haole tunes written. That same year, reportedly more Hawaiian records were sold on the mainland than any other type of music.
And they came in all the popular styles of the day: in ragtime, blues, jazz, foxtrot and waltz tempos, as “shimmy” dances and–even–in traditional hula tempos, but jazzed up a bit.
The ‘Princess’ was 15-year old Elizabeth Jonia Leilokelani Shaw; she and her family were a hit at the Exposition. “A native of Hawaii, Shaw went to Portland with her family, several of whose members are professionals, in 1906.”
“Her first professional appearance was at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco, where she was featured for her beauty and talents as a dancer in the Hawaiian village on the zone.” (Variety, May 6, 1921) She was so popular that she was almost crowned ‘Queen of the Zone,’ missing the honor by just a few votes. (Wianecki)
For the next four years, she was doing vaudeville as ‘Jonia and Her Hawaiians,’ “in which she is assisted by her sister and a male Hawaiian orchestra of four pieces. Jonia’s efforts consist of two dances, one with her sister, who appears in male attire, and one as a solo.”
“The remainder is made up of work by the orchestra, one of the men handling a vocal solo with the others playing a duet with steel guitars.”
“The Jonia act is still suitable for vaudeville, notwithstanding the number of turns of this order that have been seen about during past season.” (Variety, May 11, 1917)
Elizabeth Jonia Leilokelani Shaw, aged 20, was stricken with pneumonia at Washington, DC. She was brought to Portland and died there April 18, 1921. (Variety, May 6, 1921)

The rule of law has collapsed in America, a nation where the guilty go free while the innocent are persecuted and silenced
Sunday, November 17, 2019 by: Mike Adams
(Natural News) As of November 15, 2019, the rule of law no longer exists in the United States of America.
This has become abundantly apparent with the rigged jury decision to incarcerate Roger Stone for the “process crime” of misstating memories during interrogations with federal agents. In an era where Hillary Clinton is openly allowed by the director of the FBI (treasonous criminal James Comey) to destroy evidence, obstruct justice and get away with high-level crimes because “she didn’t mean to” violate the law, Roger Stone is about to be sentenced to what will essentially be life in prison (he’s 67 years old).
In an era when former president Barack Obama illegally laundered billions of dollars through international banks in order to fly actual pallets of cash to Iran to fund their nuclear weapons program, Julian Assange rots in custody, denied his freedom, his health and his sanity for over a decade, all as punishment for daring to expose the dark secrets of the military industrial complex.
The jury against Roger Stone was rigged with over 90% of the people in the jury pool found to be supporters of Hillary Clinton. The malicious fake news media smeared Stone for years, installing intense hatred in the minds of the jurists and cementing the outcome of the “trial,” if it can even be called that.
Meanwhile, Adam Schiff (Loonbag-CA) holds secret trials with secret transcripts in secret dungeons, coaching witnesses to say what he wants them to say while editing secret transcripts to make those witnesses appear to say things they never said. The treasonous media runs with every lie Schiff hands them, having long abandoned any last shred of journalistic integrity or basic human decency.
90.9% of Stone jury pool voted for Hillary

Sponsored solution from the Health Ranger Store: Lab-verified Nascent Iodine solution is a dietary supplement that provides your body with supplemental iodine to help protect your thyroid during radiation exposure. Nuclear accidents such as Fukushima (or nuclear war) can expose your body to radioactive iodine-131, a dangerous radioisotope. Pre-loading your system with stable iodine occupies the iodine receptor sites on your organs, causing your body to naturally expel radioactive iodine you may have been exposed to through air, food, water or milk products. This defensive strategy is recommended by nearly all health authorities, worldwide, including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Discover more at this link.
The rule of law has collapsed in America, and no one is safe from the hate-filled left-wing mob that now openly seeks to criminalize all political opposition.
If you oppose the Democrat mob, you will be targeted and destroyed
If you oppose the Democrats, you will eventually be targeted by the IRS (Lois Lerner, anyone?), arrested by the Feds in a midnight raid that’s coordinated with CNN (a la Roger Stone), de-platformed from all the major tech platforms, smeared on Wikipedia with an onslaught of fabricated lies, demonized by the fake news media with coordinated hit pieces (as the NYT just did with John Solomon) and harassed in public by violent, drooling left-wing mobs that are triggered into rage by the very sight of the American flag or a MAGA hat.
The juries in left-wing cities will never find a violent Leftist guilty, nor a conservative patriot innocent. A jury in San Francisco, for example, set an illegal alien free after he shot and killed an American woman in an obvious case of manslaughter, if not homicide. But he was set free because San Francisco is a “sanctuary” city, which means the people who run that collapsing sh#thole of feces and filth have decided to ignore the laws they don’t like.
And this is how things are now progressing — if you can call it that — all across the country, where the rule of law is abandoned at will, replaced by a raging, anti-American, anti-Trump, anti-freedom tyranny of the left-wing majority mob.
The left-wing dedication to authoritarianism and tyranny is now so complete that all the tech giants recently conspired to memory hole the name of the deep state spy “whistleblower” Eric Ciaramella. Even uttering that name will get you banned on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Indeed, stating a name now gets you banned from the public square for the simple reason that the deep state has ordered the tech giants to eliminate that name from public discourse.
Similarly, the tech giants have now banned a Republican candidate for congress simply for being a Republican. Under the tyrannical thumb of Jack Dorsey, an un-indicted criminal guilty of treason against America for rigging elections, Twitter is now banning people for merely tweeting, “I hired Donald Trump to fire people like Yovanovitch,” referring to the lying former ambassador of Ukraine, who is whining about being fired after wasting taxpayer money by doing a lousy job as ambassador.
The effort to criminalize Trump’s foreign policy, you see, is really just a symptom of a much larger effort being pursued by the lawless, deranged, lunatic Left: The complete criminalization of “disobedience” to the left-wing agenda.

A QUICK OBSERVATION ABOUT MEET THE PRESS
The lead story on Meet The Press this morning? It is Dennis Hastert, a former speaker of the house of representatives, out of office for 7 years, who apparently was being blackmailed over what the media seem pretty sure (but have no proof) was a sexual indiscretion of many (something like 30) years ago, that no one is filing any charges over and no one claims he used money illegally...
THE MOST DELUSIONARY ARTICLE OF THE YEAR
Katie Glueck, of politico.com, has written for an article – which assures us that “Democratic insiders” (unnamed, of course) are thrilled about the prospect that Hillary Clinton will testify before congress on Benghazi, because they expect that she will put on a bravura performance and Republicans will look bad by overplaying their hand. My congratulations to Ms. Glueck for...

BALTIMORE UPDATE
For days, I have blogged that, this May, Baltimore has had the largest number of murders for any month in the past 15 years. Update: make that the last 25 years.

These are the Black...
AN UGLY, DANGEROUS ANNIVERSARY

ACADEMIC BROWNSHIRTISM
Do you remember when universities were considered free speech zones?

HILLARY AND SID – THE LIES KEEP COMING
Hillary Clinton lied about her relationship with Sidney Blumenthal when she was Secretary of State. The lying itself is no surprise; Hillary Clinton is, as the late New York Times colunists William Safire put it, a congenital liar. She says whatever will benefit her, regardless of whether it is true. But when the lying is about how she conducted herself as Secretary of State...

(SOME) BLACK LIVES MATTER: THE BALTIMORE FALLOUT
For months and months, I have been blogging about the reality that, to the racial agitators and their left wing never-let-a-crisis-go-to-waste pals, “Black Lives Matter” only if the Black lives can be exploited for racial and/or political purposes.

Jindal continues reform agenda through budget woes
One underappreciated facet of the Gov. Bobby Jindal Administration has been its ability to make lemonade out of lemons and advance a reform agenda simultaneously. This trait surfaced again in Louisiana’s Department of Health and Hospitals forced cuts because of mid-year budget deficits.
With roughly 40 percent of general fund money going into health care, the $248 million total general fund cut was going to make a significant impact on its operations as well as produce the single largest area of fiscal relief for the state Yet when the dust settled, particularly in the area of care of the indigent elderly and developmentally disabled, the Administration made exactly the best moves to induce increased efficiency into the system.
Most prominently, it has accelerated plans to close state-run development centers – in other words, publicly-owned nursing homes for the developmentally (meaning mentally and/or physically) disabled. Their operating expenses are much higher than comparable facilities in the private sector, and some of their clients could be cared for adequately in home- and community-based settings. Also, the state again has scaled back payments to the politically-powerful nursing home industry which for decades has benefitted from extra largesse that has bred wastefulness and inefficiency. This may encourage more transfers from institutional settings into alternatives at cost savings to taxpayers. Yet at the same time, the Administration preserved funding for the very home- and community-based programs that will be expected to take up the slack from the impact of these other changes.
What distinguishes these changes from those of the greater crisis of a year ago is back then alterations to produce savings largely were procedural, while this time they are more reallocation. This is a key and (given political forces) more difficult step in policy evolution but absolutely necessary if savings are to be realized. Some efficiency gains get realized through changing the way tasks are performed, but the real savings come from pulling money from less efficient uses and putting it into activities that produce the same or better outcomes for fewer dollars.
One would hope that these kinds of things would have been done absent any budget crisis on the principle that smaller government is morally better but regardless Jindal has done them in the current forced situation, instead of takings alternatives such as budget gimmickry, not introducing prioritizing into cuts, or, worst of all, raising taxes. Like other actions such as state human resources pay and personnel reform they are unglamorous whose benefits are hard to see but whose self-interested political opponents are vocal in their criticism, yet they bring large and undeniable benefits to the state as a whole. Jindal may be criticized for infrequent pursuit of the large and symbolic, but he must be commended for his ability to insert a conservative approach in the nuts-and-bolts of governing when faced with harsher fiscal times.
Glover's lack of response induces little confidence
Months after the incidents came to light, the only question out of many swirling around a percolating corruption probe into Shreveport’s City Hall that has yet to have been fully answered is whether “accountability” is in the lexicon of Mayor Cedric Glover. That has been answered as an emphatic “no," now buttressed by a largely useless report which is long on stating the obvious and short on accepting responsibility and making changes.
The actions taken by Caddo Parish Sheriff Steve Prator already has netted three employee arrests and another, former supervisor of inspectors Wavey Lester, resignation under duress. Lester, a holdover from former Mayor Keith Hightower’s administration reappointed by Glover, is related to one arrested in the alleged scheme to pay contractors for shoddy, fraudulent, or nonexistent work, and also to city Councilman Calvin Lester. The investigation subsequently spread to the Queensborough Neighborhood Association which is lead by Caddo School Board member Lola May.
Most stunning was that warning signals flashed for years that something was wrong while even the most basic due diligence was being neglected. Director of the department involved, Community Development, Bonnie Moore, also an appointee held over from the Hightower regime, revealed that the program under question did not even vet the presumed “contractors” receiving money to see if they had a contractor license – a process that takes seconds on the Internet. Direct invitations to corrupt actions were issued as a result of the department only a few years ago prohibiting nepotistic transactions – and then allowing those who had been participating such as Wavey Lester’s relative to continue.
This is not the first controversy this decade with the department with Moore’s leadership. Under Hightower, a loan program went bad with seeming political favoritism playing a role in decisions made in Moore’s department. Instead of corrective action, the program simply was stopped.
And Glover since his taking the helm of the city appeared to evince the attitude that he kept the area out of mind, nothing bad could be happening there. He was taken by surprise when Prator launched the investigation months ago, once it started his underlings instead of being cooperative and proactive expressed bafflement over or even passive resistance (such as charging sheriff’s investigators hundreds of dollars for city documents related to the probe before the arrests) to it, and Glover initially defended city actions before nudging Lester to resign.
This leads to some very curious, unanswered questions that only silent Glover can resolve:
Why was Moore kept on, despite her record and glacial speed in discovering and trying to address problems in the department?
Why were even the simplest procedural changes, such as vetting the status of contractors, never implemented despite Moore’s perception of problems?
Why was Wavey Lester kept on, and did it have anything to do with his relations with Councilmen Lester and the contractor?
What role did the Fair Share program have to do with the improprieties – the program that mandates that the city identify businesses owned by the “disadvantaged,” such as the arrested contractors who are all racial minorities thereby qualifying their firms and give them assistance to make them as competitive as possible in winning city contracts?
Why did the city not begin an investigation itself as it was clear even years ago that some kind of problem was emerging about this program?
Where was the city auditor Leanis Graham in studying these programs through which millions of dollars passed?
What is the city’s relationship with the Queensborough Neighborhood Association, with details about the money that flowed from the city to the organization and whether May’s position had anything to do with that flow of funds?
Glover has done nothing to address any of these questions. They still need answering because leaving them unresolved both sends to signal that a coverup is in the works to hide far more extensive corruption and/or that the Glover Administration cannot reflect upon or own up to mistakes which gives the impression that it is incapable of running the city in the efficient and ethical fashion that its citizens deserve.
Firing Moore, who has proven incapable and never would be retained had something like this come to light in the private sector, would be a first good step. Then Glover needs to be honest, even if that means heavy self-criticism, and show some leadership in addressing these concerns. Doing neither risks indicating to the citizenry he is incapable of achieving either.
Protest notes provide direction to challenge usurpation
Louisiana officials have joined in calling for the Environmental Protection Agency from backing off its ideologically-driven choice to set the stage for its regulation of carbon emissions as an “endangerment.” How they are doing so may point to a strategy for defeating the power grab.
As noted previously, a twisted interpretation of a law never intended to apply to what is in fact a nonexistent problem is going to allow the EPA eventually to issue regulations that will have a profound negative impact on the American economy – an issue pointed out in these numerous communiqués. But most galling is that the EPA in the process plans to rewrite unilaterally the law without Congressional approval. To understand why, we must first acknowledge the political nature of the “man-made global warming” issue and the political and monetary agendas of those who support it.
The hoax largely is aided and abetted because of a mixture of ideology and money. Pres. Barack Obama and many liberal Democrats want to use the issue to acquire more power and privilege for government they think they will control. The federal and other governments dole out huge sums of money to researchers to give them incentives to fashion research that will support this agenda (the exposure of these efforts now turning them into babbling, transparent apologists). Interest groups who share this ideology shut their eyes to the lack of and contradictory evidence to their article of faith (much of the recent research now having been found manipulated to attempt to validate their faith) in order to continue to maintain their purposes and jobs. Genuine scientific inquiry is a casualty of those that assert human activity makes any significant contribution to climate change.
Yet none of this is argued by the correspondents even as in replies to them the article of faith is reasserted. And all Louisiana legally can do is protest; it has no legislative power to make any changes to this federal concern. However, that the approach is to highlight the impact on property rights and economic freedoms may point to how to overcome the unilateral action of the executive branch, taken because Obama cannot get a reluctant Congress to put into law this policy.
What the EPA does not want to admit (and which is why it continues to claim it is being “compelled” to act in this way by a Supreme Court decision) is that it intends to act extralegally. The very law it cites as forcing it states that endangerment means regulation essentially of any property with a significant structure on it the size or more of an acre. Unilaterally, the EPA is creating a “tailoring rule” that will increase by an order of two magnitudes the emissions standard by which a property would face regulation because it knows to follow the law as written would subject well over a million new structures to a complicated regulatory process that would be overwhelmingly politically unpopular and enormously expensive.
The approach that these opponents of the EPA’s usurpation of legislative power appears to focus on a court challenge that initially would make the EPA follow the letter of the law, and once that happens, to sue on the basis that the interpretation of the Clean Air Act of 1971 constitutes impermissible takings under the Constitution. If this is what Gov. Bobby Jindal and others are intending by penning these protests, rather than a futile attempt at persuasion these lay the groundwork for policy that reasserts proper Constitutional authority. As such, they do Louisianans a service.
Enjoy Independence Bowl; sustainability questionable
Today the 2009 edition of the Independence Bowl occurs, in what might the end of the golden era of Shreveport’s Independence Bowl and an eventual slide into oblivion.
At least it has a title sponsor which may allow it to last longer than the dubious previous one which defaulted on its commitment. Essentially going a couple of years without a sponsor and then with one that quickly stopped paying its money forced the entity that runs it, the Independence Bowl Foundation, to dip into reserves and led Shreveport to make a controversial and secret gift/loan to the organization to keep the game afloat.
But the problem is these follies did not go unnoticed by college football. This game will be the last matchup between teams from the premier power conferences in the land, the Big 12 and Southeastern Conferences. This decade, they have produced six of the nine mythical national champions and every year but one put one of their teams in the national championship game.
With departure, LA Democrats can put up or shut up
After attempts public and private to boot him out of office, it appears that the chairman of Louisiana’s Democrats Chris Whittington apparently is leaving the post on his own accord, departing with a mixed legacy.
On the one hand, the tide of conservatism that belatedly has turned the South Republican at last hit Louisiana and caused major retrenchment of Democrats. Out of seven statewide elected offices, seven U.S. House seats, and the pair of Senators, only three of these spots are held by Democrats, one in each category, compared to the 10 when he assumed command of the party from the hapless Jim Bernhard. Democrats also during his term lost their effective majority in the state House although giving up only a little ground in the state’s Senate. One could blame the party leader for these reversals.
On the other hand, it must be noted that perhaps the weakest state political parties, institutionally speaking, in the country are Louisiana’s, in part because of a political culture that has placed so must emphasis on candidates/personalities, and in part because of a political system whose blanket primary system for state and local offices discourages identification with and disempowers parties. And of the two major parties, because registration tides have run against them to instill further resource erosion, as an organization the Democrats are the institutionally weaker.
LA policy-makers must fight flawed EPA takeover
Maybe the outspokenness comes from knowing he’s moving on by his own accord, but Louisiana’s Secretary of Environmental Quality Harold Leggett sent a necessary note that should wake up the uninformed and rouse the quasi-religious, and helps to back responsible policy-makers from Louisiana.
Leggett, who is leaving his post early next year to return to the private sector, penned a letter (similar to that of leaders of two other states) to the federal government’s Environmental Protection Agency objecting to its ruling that “endangerment” exists concerning emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This enables the agency to begin regulating CO2 as a “dangerous” gas and has introduced a means to do so. Leggett argues that Congress, which created the Clean Air Act of 1971 under which the EPA is claiming authority to do this and which represents the people, should be deferred to by the EPA in deciding what to do.
This position is entirely justified because of three major problems with the EPA’s approach. First, it derives its authority to do this from a 2007 decision of the U.S. Supreme Court that was tortured in its jurisprudence and arrogated to itself what it thinks Congress should have thought about what could be regulated and how. Second, it does so through its own dubious interpretation of the law, unilaterally rewriting it because to follow the letter of the law would impose absurdly high regulatory costs on virtually any property bigger than a large house. Third, the “science” on which EPA based its decision itself has been demonstrated to be faulty, flawed, manipulated, and unreliable.
Thus, the logical conclusion is that if the EPA follows the law it will have such an absurd impact therefore reasonable minds must conclude Congress never intended the Act to regulate anything in the air and the genuine science to support the idea that man-made CO2 emissions cause a significant negative change in climate does not exist. Therefore, it would be entirely appropriate for the EPA not to act to preserve the integrity of the law and to allow Congress to provide guidance through legislation clarifying what it means to do, using actual science.
That, however, runs against the ideological grain of the pres. Barack Obama Administration which hopes to use the issue to increase government control over the economy to empower government and its other allies. This approach also brings power and privilege to those who disregard the questionable “science” behind the idea of man-made climate change and cling to that as a matter of faith regardless of the costs to people.
Louisiana is blessed to have two of the more active members of Congress who speak against the man-made climate change fraud, Sen. David Vitter and Rep. Steve Scalise. Hopefully, they will echo Leggett’s concerns in Washington and strive to correct the bull-headed Obama agenda by continuing to work against disastrous bills that in essence would ratify the EPA’s choice and to support others that would counteract its decisions in this regard.
Leggett is to be applauded for publicizing an issue gone largely unnoticed by the public and this would serve as a worthy way to punctuate his service to the state.
Suggested changes needed to ethics law adjudication
In cooperation with Louisiana’s Board of Ethics, the Gov. Bobby Jindal Administration has come up with some changes to ethics law adjudication that deserve legal enactment, despite what one key legislator thinks.
The most significant change involves allowing the Board to appeal decisions. The present procedure has the Board acting as prosecutor and bringing cases to administrative law judges for adjudication, but then the Board legally must approve all decisions made by the law panel to which there is no appeal. Jindal and many on the Board both want to change this so that the Board can appeal a panel decision into the appellate court system and not just rubber-stamp everything.
This makes sense. As the Board acts like a prosecutor as well as grand jury, as a prosecutor it should have an appeal option. This clears up the legal ambiguity that forces it currently to sign off on all decisions, even those with which it disagrees. Also, this can clarify uncertainties of the law by having a court invested with judicial power provide a single legal interpretation of ethics statutes.
Two gals' choices help two guys' Congressional bids
Lost in the recent Legislative shuffleboard has been that two legislators now can feel better about their political futures because of the unanticipated actions of two others.
If anybody had predicted some kind of announcement coming from Democrat state Rep. Karen Peterson about this time it would have been that she was making herself the favorite to win the Second Congressional District by her entry into the contest. Not only does Peterson hold the second-highest position in the state House, Speaker Pro-Tem, but in 2006 she strongly had challenged then-incumbent William Jefferson, then fighting investigation for crimes in office for which he later was convicted.
But Peterson passed on the contest in 2008 while Jefferson was indicted. It was won by present incumbent Republican Rep. Anh “Joseph” Cao, largely because of the damaged candidacy of Jefferson, but with demographics favoring a Democrat and Cao’s support of a bill that would increase the cost of health care while reducing its quality souring Republicans on him, the winner of the Democrat primary in 2010 can expect election in November.
However, that won’t be Peterson, as almost simultaneously with the announcement of Democrat state Sen. Cheryl Evans’ upcoming resignation of her seat, Peterson announced she would pursue it, had a campaign organization ready to go, and had gotten scheduled her first fundraiser for the Feb. 6 election. Evans, who is leaving to stay in the same area code with her husband whose job has them moving out of state, appears to have with Peterson done a little coordination to give Peterson a head start on capturing the seat.
That Peterson has done so aggressively indicates that she does not have Congress in mind. It would be silly to go for the Senate seat, then to turn right back around and start campaigning for Congress (having delayed that for the Senate race for nearly two months). One could argue this isn’t something too far off from what Rep. Steve Scalise did before winning his Congressional seat – run for the state Senate in 2007, only to compete for the First District seat immediately after. Yet in Scalise’s case the seat came open only concurrently with his state victory – Gov. Bobby Jindal being elected – and also consider that Peterson is giving up her House leadership post. Unless she’s serious about staying in the Senate awhile, if she was just marking time until bagging a win for federal office it wouldn’t make much sense to give up that post.
Regardless of her reasons, this development must please the likes of state Reps. Cedric Richmond and Juan LaFonta, currently the main candidates for the Democrat nominee likely to face Cao. Neither could beat Peterson had she run, so one of them, probably Richmond given the increasing favors shown him by national Democrats, now is the favorite. For which, ultimately, they have to thank Evans’ sense of family togetherness and Peterson’s lack of interest (which may be for the same reason; she also is a relative newlywed who might not prefer spending so much time in Washington).
Pelosi thanks Deity for pro-abort clause; so may Melancon
A whole lot of stuff has to happen for Rep. Charlie Melancon to continue his political career past a little more than a year, but so far his state colleague and his Congressional mistress are keeping him in the running – if he can grasp the opportunity.
Melancon faces a tall task to defeat incumbent Republican Sen. David Vitter by poll numbers and the political tides. But he would have no chance at all if forced to vote for a career-killing health care reform bill that promises higher expenses and taxes for lower quality favored by many of his fellow Democrats, including the state’s only other Congressional member Sen. Mary Landrieu, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
At first, Melancon sided with Pelosi when in committee he refused to block consideration that would have steered federal dollars towards funding elective abortion. This enabled him to vote against the measure later with Pelosi’s blessing because enough other votes could be rounded up for it to pass. However, it later was removed to Pelosi’s chagrin, and Melancon was permitted to by her to vote also against the final product because it still had enough votes to pass.
This defeat stuck in Pelosi’s craw, but Senate action on this account has turned more to her liking. There, Landrieu helped support a partial reversal of the anti-abortion measure which for the first time ever would create a way for providers to replace privately-earned dollars for some aspects of care with publicly-subsidized bucks and then use those other dollars to fund elective abortion. Thus, the Senate version which is teetering on passage would conflict with the passed House version.
Pelosi, who said “Thank God” that the Senate version encourages the very un-Godlike practice of killing the unborn for any reason at all, now thinks this Senate difference can be reconciled successfully into the final product. To which House supporters of the original ban, including the lone Republican of the bunch Anh “Joseph” Cao, say only over their nay votes.
This collision course, if a Senate version passes and Pelosi pushes it, would give Melancon a great opportunity to keep alive his Senate hopes by a vote against a conference committee product that includes the Senate language – if Pelosi undoes his leash. The slippage of votes for overall passage that would occur as a result may be too great and then Pelosi would not give permission for Melancon to defect. Then he has a choice to make: do as he has unthinkingly and meekly done for years and submit to her will, or do what’s right, help kill the bill, and not destroy any chance he has of winning the Senate seat. If it comes to that, let’s hope for the latter.
If followed through, Landrieu faces grave electoral future
Zebras don’t change their stripes, so it’s no surprise that Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu looks to join her fellow liberals in the Senate in passing health care reform legislation that has gone from truly monstrous to just horrific with changes made to accommodate her and others.
Of course, Landrieu is an idiot if she actually believes what she now claims to support: it will not cut costs, it will not improve the quality of care, and it will bring health care to no additional people, but it will raise taxes and create a Trojan Horse for a continued government takeover of health care (for a succinct and data-filled rendering of the flaws and hidden agenda and the lies being told to cover them up in this legislation, see the Wall Street Journal’s “The WSJ Guide to ObamaCare”). But this attitude and subsequent behavior is the hallmark of liberalism, a discredited belief system about human beings that survives only because of ignorance, deception, and active propagation of negated assertions in order to gain power and privilege, and Landrieu never wanders far from it, so her acquiescence should come as no shock.
The question is what ramifications an eventual decision of hers to back this tissue of lies will have on her political career? It could be that she doesn’t plan on running for reelection. By 2014 she’ll be in her mid-fifties with 18 years in the Senate (and a lifetime of serving in elected offices with next to no experience in the private sector which explains much about her dismal record), her family having made a ton of money and she eligible for a fat pension. Maybe she thinks she can hand off the seat to younger brother Mitch (if he can win the New Orleans mayoralty). This certainly would explain why she would support something so thoroughly detested by the Louisiana electorate, because she doesn’t plan on facing it again.
Legislators show they really wanted "dummy diploma"
After months of insisting otherwise, the cat finally is out of the bag, the elephant in the room has been recognized, the legislators have no clothes – whatever metaphor/cliché you choose, the fact is the real intent of state Rep. Jim Fannin and state Sen. Bob Kostelka was to create a “dummy diploma.”
This past year, these two lead authors of legislation that would create a new diploma track for Louisiana high school graduates – only three years after another career diploma had been put in place by the state – that significantly relaxed requirements for graduation kept insisting up and down that this was not an attempt to water down standards. Besieged by adverse publicity about low graduation rates in the state, they denied this was a move to change the rules to improve the statistics without maintaining quality.
But they finally admitted this was all gamesmanship when they opposed the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education’s desire to address the question of graduation requirements for the new diploma by moving to make its graduates pass the same exit exams. When a motion by allies of the legislators failed to stop moving with the item that would promulgate rules including requiring all students take the same exit exams, the legislators responded by asking for an attorney general’s opinion to try to negate the authority of BESE to require this.
It’s questionable whether this tactic will succeed. The new laws do not prohibit BESE from doing this, but neither does it state this is to be the regime and so the fact that the laws made an exception to the existing regime may indicate BESE does not have the authority. If the losing party to the opinion disagrees, the next step to resolution would be the judicial system.
However, unquestioned is the dumbing down agenda of Fannin and Kostelka is now laid bare for all to see. If they truly believed the changes provided as high a quality education as they said, there is no reason for them to argue that students pursuing the new diploma should take an easier set of exit exams. BESE’s majority was entirely correct in its decision to put children and the state’s economic development first instead of providing political cover for legislators who can’t stand the heat but refuse to leave the kitchen.
And if for some reason after all the legal wrangling this decision gets overturned, the other official who would bear some culpability for the resulting dumbing down of state education standards should make amends – Gov. Bobby Jindal. He signed this unnecessary legislation into law; let’s hope without agreeing with Fannin’s and Kostelka’s reasons and thereby willing to rectify a wrong by pushing to change the law if their view gets the benefit of the legal doubt.
Conditions make Dardenne Senate run unlikely
While some may believe politicians act in strange ways, when it comes to ambitions in seeking office they usually behave quite rationally with fairly accurate cost-benefit calculations. Because of that, do not expect Louisiana’s Sec. of State Jay Dardenne to challenge incumbent fellow Republican and Sen. David Vitter.
Ever since Vitter’s admission of and apology for an unspecified “serious sin” believed linked to utilization of escort services almost a decade ago, Democrats and liberals and some Republicans turned off by Vitter’s brass knuckles political style have dreamed that the incident could take down a previously-invulnerable senator – despite continued evidence that Vitter remains in a good position. He continues to enjoy better approval ratings than either Dardenne or his only serious announced challenger Democrat Rep. Charlie Melancon (and also better than his Democrat counterpart Sen. Mary Landrieu), and polling of matchups against Melancon or Dardenne consistently give him a double-digit lead.
Optimists at Vitter’s demise argue that the approval ratings for both Melancon and Dardenne show a large number of people didn’t know enough about them to rate them, and thus their approval ratings can grow. They also point out that Vitter has not yet polled at least half of the intended vote (even if close); typically, an incumbent is considered safe if he can hit or exceed that mark. It is data such as these, and the fact that he polls slightly better against Melancon than does Vitter, that have caught Dardenne’s attention and gotten him to think about an exploratory committee for a Senate run.
But this attitude of hope for a defeat of Vitter at this point largely is overblown. Landrieu did not poll above the 50 percent level until about seven months before her 2008 reelection and did not consistently stay there until about three months prior. Further, unless respondent ignorance of a candidate is very high (say 75-plus percent), typically as potential voters feel more informed about a candidate they tend to break fairly evenly, because less-informed individuals (as these tend to be) usually will divide among partisan and pseudo- or genuine ideological lines. In other words, approval of Dardenne (or Melancon), with roughly 40 percent of those queried professing they don’t know him at present, is unlikely to exceed by more than a pittance Vitter’s approval ratings (if at all) as more learn about him.
Dardenne also has some other obstacles to overcome that make a contest at this time look less appealing. Running in a closed primary will feature more ideological and conservative voters, because it is restricted only to GOP registrants and only more politically informed and interested people participate in primaries who, in a Republican primary, are more conservative. Vitter has a natural advantage here because his voting record compared to Dardenne’s in the state Legislature was more conservative (and has continued very conservative in Congress) and among more active GOP voters they clearly see him as more conservative.
The only possibility for Dardenne to overcome this would be to spend a lot of money that he doesn’t have. He would have to spend much just to convince Republican primary voters of a conservatism ranking with Vitter’s – but Vitter, with at least $3.9 million available has plenty by which to poke holes in Dardenne’s record. And (with all due respect to my colleague and friend’s assessment), Vitter has little vulnerability with GOP voters whose primary interest is social issues relative to Dardenne because of their past records and Vitter’s contrition. As Louisiana Family Forum Director Gene Mills, whose organization has been a leader in social issue-oriented politics in the state, noted, “Jay has been a fine secretary of state, but he hasn't been as conservative as Sen. Vitter.” He simply is not the candidate to rally social conservatives disaffected with Vitter, which are not many in the first place.
At this point, Dardenne does not begin to approach the financial wherewithal to begin this difficult task. Since state law prohibits use of this state campaign account for federal office (and vice versa), he must start from scratch raising funds anew. And with only about $272,000 in his state account at the end of 2008, if a 2010 Senate nomination challenge ended in defeat, he would have to turn right around and ask for more to hold onto his current office in 2011, so a 2010 run would hamper his money-raising a year later. He also has left it pretty late to ramp up efforts, with the primary only nine months away against a strong opponent, increasing his level of difficulty. Plus, he can’t expect help from many traditional Republican donors who will view his candidacy as something divisive that only could detract from Vitter’s chances against Melancon.
Thus, the exploratory committee idea reveals two things. First, if he finds he can raise money quickly, this may be a signal that, despite the contrary evidence noted above, that there is real sentiment for a Dardenne candidacy that has a decent chance of winning. If not, and second, he can just continue this effort into a more-realistic run against Landrieu in 2014. Therefore, he has little to lose by initiating this effort.
But that’s not the case with an actual attempt. Unless his fundraising experience in the near future is at distinct odds with the evidence above, he will realize his chances are few at knocking off Vitter, potential costs are great, and rationality will kick in with a passing on entering the contest. Barring some unexpected negative aspect about Vitter manifesting in the next few months, Dardenne likely will stay on the sidelines and wait for a more propitious set of circumstances to pursue his political ambitions.
Landrieu so far refuses to back hollow words with action
Sen. Mary Landrieu has changed her tune somewhat on her “Louisiana Purchase” provision in current Senate legislation that would increase the cost of health care and decrease its quality, but if she’s seriously committed to finding additional money for the state’s Medicaid program she needs to walk the walk, not just talk the talk.
Louisiana’s Medicaid reimbursement rate is scheduled to increase dramatically with fiscal year 2011 because of an artifact in the law does not account for the effects of a large amount of federal government spending for disaster relief. Partially to offset that, Democrat Landrieu got a provision tucked into the bill in question that would shovel in 2011 an additional $112-230 million to the state. But Republican Sen. Tom Coburn is trying to get either standing alone or combined with others an amendment to strip that provision from the bill.
At first Landrieu crowed about swinging the deal and then became defensive about removing the provision. Her mood has swung again; now she claims she would “relish” defending the provision if the Coburn measure makes it to the floor. But if she is sincere about the entire fix to demonstrate her words don’t ring hollow, she needs to prove it by actions.
This would entail her not to oppose from being debated Coburn’s amendment or its attachment to anybody else’s. Then we would get a chance to hear her full eloquence, including the chance to answer why she has not to this point introduced separate legislation, or to include in a supplemental appropriation the provision. (She already missed one chance.) She also must do one or both of those two things. If she sincerely believes in the righteousness of her request, she will not attach it to this bill that has uncertain chances of passing and the goodness of it being washed away by all the controversy surrounding the entire bad bill in which it resides currently. To fail to do so, risking failure of its passage when she can make a convincing argument for it to pass on its own, signifies she is not serious about the matter.
Landrieu has a long history of talking stuff up for political consumption, and then either not following through or doing the opposite of what she said (such as the appointment vote for Miguel Estrada to the appellate bench). Given that, Landrieu needs to take these actions – allowing Coburn’s amendment to the floor and introducing separate legislation for the fix or put it in a supplemental – to prove that, for once, her actions actually back her soothing palaver designed to impress the folks back home.
LA moving in right direction with pay plan proposal
Louisiana’s State Civil Service Commission couldn’t quite take the heat, but set the stage for a truly revolutionary and welcome change to personnel pay policy that will create better state government service at reduced costs.
The SCSC approved almost unanimously (the only non-gubernatorial-appointed member abstaining) to create a tiered system of pay increases that occur only when certain benchmark levels of performance are achieved in annual reviews of classified service employees. This is in contrast to the present system that allows only for an all-or-nothing four percent increase for any employee, as almost every single one has been given in the past, who receives a review scoring in one of the top three of five categories.
The advantages of the new system are legion: efficiency will be encouraged as slack performers will receive less than better ones, encouraging the former to exit and the latter to stay in state employment, and money might actually be saved along with this improved performance. Critics claim it will allow too much subjectivity and discretion in the hands of supervisors, but the same amount of discretion already exists under the present system.
However, the several parades of whining state employees (probably the ones who would end up getting lower evaluations under the proposed system and/or don’t work to their full potential knowing it’s not necessary to get the full pay raise under the current regime) that appeared at various times over the past few months in front of the SCSC apparently got to it to partially. The original plan would have allowed agencies to give up to three, four, or six percent raises, respectively, for the middle, next-highest, and highest evaluation categories; the proposal that passed made those levels mandatory unless the Commission approved an exception.
This has lead Gov. Bobby Jindal, who must approve all changes in pay plans forwarded by the Commission, to state he will refuse to approve it and return it for inclusion of the original idea. Since Jindal appoints six-sevenths of the Commission, if the current crop of commissioners wants to retain their jobs (and assuming Jindal wins, as is likely at this point, a second term in office), they will have little choice to comply. Jindal (as well as proponents in the Legislature) believes the flexibility excised from the proposal is important for the whole to work best. If left to a case-by-case basis, agencies may be reluctant having to go through the process to give lesser amounts, and would mean the Division of Administration would be less able to steer strategically resources to agencies on the basis of priority.
Perhaps as a compensatory measure, the Commission also stated it was going to tackle an even bigger problem that if not resolved largely would moot any of the proposed change: the skewed results of evaluations that assign almost all employees into the top three categories (and almost half in the top two). It is inconceivable that the state of Louisiana could acquire such a monopoly on high-performing individuals: clearly, gamesmanship to get as many employees as possible flat four percent raises on virtually an annual basis has been in play. The Commission also wisely committed to training of supervisors in their evaluating to make sure they were as objective and fair as possible.
While the plan presently going to Jindal is good, the change he stumps for will make it even better. Combine this with previously-passed rules about force reduction procedures, and anticipated legislative changes in retirement rules from defined-benefit to mandatory defined-contribution for new entrants (see here for the problems that await for a defined-benefit system) and the beginning of the 2010-11 fiscal year will mark the most exciting time for quality improvement in the history of the state’s civil service.
These kinds of matters to the larger public aren’t exciting and flashy as other policy measures, but they promise noticeable performance improvements to citizens and savings to taxpayers. The SCSC and the department it oversees have been on the right track this year and let’s hope this continues going forward.
Landrieu practices shell game, puts Vitter in tough spot
As bad as current Democrat-desired health care legislation may be in terms of higher costs and worse outcomes, it might end up positively toxic for Louisiana’s senators who are having to deal with it.
Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu found herself casting a vote concerning abortion that may come back to haunt her. While Landrieu always has supported the concept of legal abortion for convenience, she never had supported federal government money going to insurers that would cover elective abortions … until yesterday when she voted to reject an amendment that would not permit any insurance plan getting taxpayer dollars to offer abortion coverage, replicating language in the House version. The motion failed 54-45.
The rationale Democrats use as a pretense to say this won’t encourage or aid in private insurers in paying for abortions of convenience is that the bill as currently written would not allow federal dollars directly to be used to reimburse for the killings. This is sophistry at best, disingenuous at its immoral worst. As amendment author Democrat Sen. Ben Nelson noted, the separation of funds in the bill an accounting gimmick. “The reality is federal funds would help buy coverage that includes abortion,” he said.
True enough, as the federal government would be subsidizing coverage which will be required by the new law adjusted by community rates it also will require. Without that infusion, the insurer may not be able to afford to offer and pay for elective abortion. Thus, “private” funds get released for that that otherwise would have to be used for other purposes now to be subsidized with federal money. It’s a shell game, a point Landrieu has yet to address despite an indication she would explain the matter.
Meanwhile, something Landrieu inspired, a special provision in the bill that would steer $100 to $300 million to the state to supplement Medicaid expenses in 2011, is causing consternation for Republican Sen. David Vitter. Her “Louisiana Purchase” provision has been criticized as a form of bribery for her vote to allow debate on the entire motion to succeed, which would allow her then to vote against a final product that would pass regardless since the motion to proceed required three-fifth of the seated Senate while passage requires only a majority of those present, thus again saving political face to the unknowledgeable.
Republican Sen. Tom Coburn wishes to strike that language, and Republican Sen. John McCain has discussed taking that measure and others and proposing an amendment wiping out them all. This leaves Vitter in a quandary because he could be forced to vote to remove a measure which would help the state and, worse for his reelection prospects, be used against him as an indicator that he is insensitive to the state’s needs.
To defuse this, Vitter should file his own separate legislation – which Landrieu refuses to do – to implement the Medicaid “fix” (an artifact of the formula determining how much federal money goes to the state beginning in 2010-11 produces a significant drop in the federal share because it does not differentiate the impact of federal spending for disaster recovery of previous years). Then he can demonstrate he supports the fix and vote for wiping it out of the health care bill if the McCain amendment comes to fruition, explaining his vote on the basis of the other undesirable things needed to go.
Thus, Vitter probably can tap dance around this will little if any political damage. By contrast, Landrieu has to hope time and no additional controversy concerning this bill and her votes surrounding it dull the memory of voters if she seeks another term in five years.
Landrieu mayor run gambles career on uncertain outcome
It looks as if Lt. Gov. Mitch “Ahab” Landrieu formally will pick up pursuit of his great white whale known as the mayoralty of New Orleans when qualifying for the office begins tomorrow, despite a previous vow not to – even though chances are again he will find disappointment.
As noted in this space some time ago, the normal dynamics of the contest do not favor white candidate Landrieu because, if we toss the clever literary allusions, in reality a better aquatic mammalian description of New Orleans would be as a black whale. When voter registration totals show blacks about doubling up on whites, even if Landrieu could match his roughly 20 percent black support in the 2006 mayoral runoff in a similar contest against a black candidate, assuming black turnout runs only slightly behind white turnout he still would lose.
The simple fact of life in large majority-black cities in Louisiana, if not in the entire south or nation, is that for the highest office in the city, is that relatively few black voters defect from a quality black candidate against a white candidate in a runoff. It was proven in New Orleans in 2006 when the very politically-damaged current Mayor Ray Nagin defeated Landrieu, and when later that year Cedric Glover won the top job in Shreveport. In the former case, the runoff brought disproportionately more voters to Nagin who had not previously voted in the primary to extend his primary lead to victory; in the latter, Glover did the same to overcome a deficit from the primary in a city where black registration was not much more than white.
But even to get to a hypothetical black/white candidate runoff might be a stretch for Landrieu this time. In 2006, he bested other white candidates who were competitive but newcomers to politics. This time, he looks certain to face the biggest spender he’ll ever encounter, former gubernatorial candidate John Georges, and repeater from the 2006 contest Rob Couhig who probably will capture a large majority of the small (12 percent or so) Republican vote. Facing experienced and proven vote-getters and with Georges’ deep self-financed pockets magnifies the primary consequence of Landrieu’s late start after his previous discounting of running this time: his relative lack of funds. At the beginning of this year, he had only about $100,000 in his lieutenant governor’s account (which he can use) for a race where in 2006 he spent $3.6 million.
Landrieu may be counting upon the fact that the field to this point has not attracted a slew of bigger names to make up for his being behind in the money chase and that reputation alone, as evidenced in some independent polling that put him out front among hypothetical candidates, can close the gap. It’s true that the field of white candidates probably is more illustrious than those who are black, but the racial voting dynamics are such that this does not matter that much, history shows. Nagin himself was a late entry, almost afterthought when he first ran in 2002, and certainly did not run from a position of strength in 2006. As long as a quality black candidate exists – and there appears to be at least one in the unflashy state Sen. Edwin Murray – the dynamic will deliver enough votes for any such person to defeat Landrieu in a runoff.
This attempt comes with considerable political risk. A victory could position Landrieu well to make a run at the governorship in 2015, but not only does entering the contest now essentially eliminate any run he (unlikely) had in mind for 2011, a loss would again cast a pall over any attempt he may make for that higher office in the future. It would cement his reputation as a candidate who can win only the small or relatively insignificant offices because of his name, but who does not have the ability beyond that to capture a significant policy-making prize. His entrance here could place definitively a cap demarcating the upper limit of his political career – no higher than the Capitol Annex Building, not up to the fourth floor of the Capitol itself. Four months out from the election, it seems a risk at best uncertain to pay off.
Scorned media fail to provide helpful news analysis
While the manufactured media story related in my most recent post dealt with the non-issue of Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal not heaping enough encouragement on Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu for a measure he likes in a bill he hates, the latest non-story about the episode focuses on a somewhat different angle, that Jindal has not protected enough Landrieu’s honor.
I guess I need to go through all of this again, since some slow news reporters and/or editors can’t find out enough real news about which to write: Landrieu has faced criticism that she had sold a vote that could have stopped consideration of a disastrous health care reform measure in the Senate for the chance to have as part of that bill a passage that would shovel anywhere from $100 to $300 million to fund Louisiana’s Medicaid program in 2011. Part of this criticism came from conservative media commentators, including calling her a “prostitute” for her willingness to trade a vote for political favors. Jindal said he would not criticize any delegation member and left it at that. He also said that while he disagreed with the bill, he would be thankful for whatever any delegation member could do to help with Medicaid funding, echoing a previous statement where he said criticism of her on this was unfair.
(Meanwhile, the sun rose in the east and the grass is still green ….)
But the angle the Associated Press’ Melinda Deslatte pursues in a “news analysis” (translation: an editorial by a reporter about the things she covers termed this way to try to square the circle that reporters for the sake of objectivity should not reveal their own views about them) is that Jindal didn’t go far enough by “refusing to denounce the prostitute slur against the senator …. is it too much to expect him to push for more dignity in the political discourse and to rebuke those who resort to gender-demeaning slurs?” She answers, “Apparently so,” and in leaving it at that – despite the fact she should well know the real reason why Jindal might not do Landrieu any great favors on this account because she reported on it.
During Jindal’s campaigns for governor, Democrats have used such tactics as darkening his face in campaign ads (juvenilely thinking that it would turn off potential voters who didn’t think he was “white” enough) and cherry-picking his words to assert that the Catholic Jindal was anti-Protestant or a religious weirdo. And did fellow Catholic Landrieu ever issue a statement “to denounce the racist and religious slurs against the candidate?” Or did Deslatte ever write a “news analysis” that chided Landrieu and/or other state elected Democrats for not doing so?
Those answers would be, “apparently not.” The story to the objective observer is that Landrieu, who if she was serious about the Medicaid bailout money would attach it to a noncontroversial bill or in the regular appropriation bill for that area of government, is not going to get more than a tepid defense from Jindal for criticism of her action that would make him swallow a poison policy pill because out of partisanship she never did anything to defend him from denigrating attacks – and even then he said she should not be criticized in contrast to her total silence.
But that violates Deslatte’s template that Jindal is a semi-hypocritical meanie, stoked by the fact that he has preyed upon the most potent insecurity rampant in the media – being made irrelevant by being ignored. Deslatte moans about how “Repeated efforts to get Jindal or his spokesman to answer a direct question about the prostitution comments got no response. Asked a half dozen times if the governor believes those comments were appropriate, Jindal spokesman Kyle Plotkin never provided a direct answer. He didn't respond to a request to speak to the governor about the issue.” To repeat, there’s no fury like the media scorned by refusal to cooperate with its agenda – especially when the agenda is to make the object not talking look bad.
So we get her waste of paper, ink, and electrons. And more of using it to line bird cages while we turn our attention elsewhere – as newspaper circulation figures show – to find genuinely informative, sophisticated analysis about politics.
Non-story tantrum indicative of media insecurties
“There are no slow news days, just slow news reporters,” my old collegiate adviser in my journalism days counseled. To that aphorism one can add, “Never argue with somebody who buys ink by the barrel,” and these explain the strange non-story that recently appeared in the Baton Rouge Advocate.
It expounded upon the situation that Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu was nonplussed because Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal was defending her vigorously enough against criticism that she had sold a vote that could have stopped consideration of a disastrous health care reform measure in the Senate for the chance to have as part of that bill a passage that would shovel anywhere from $100 to $300 million to fund Louisiana’s Medicaid program in 2011. Meanwhile, the sun rose in the east and the grass is still green.
That part of this criticism came from conservative media commentators including calling her a “prostitute” for her willingness to trade a vote for political favors seemed to upset some but not really Landrieu, who said she was over not receiving more explicit support on the matter from Jindal. For his part, he said he would not criticize any delegation member and left it at that. He also said that while he disagreed with the bill, he would be thankful for whatever any delegation member could do to help with Medicaid funding, echoing a previous statement where he said criticism of her on this was unfair.
So why is this news? Because the Advocate wants there to be more to it, out of pique at Jindal. This is obvious from the snide passage that Jindal “last held a news conference Nov. 4 in Baton Rouge and has not returned more than a dozen calls from reporters the past two weeks.” Translation: Jindal’s staff has been ignoring the Advocate’s reporters on this matter. Understand that more than anything else the media wish to be thought of as relevant and important, so to brush them aside like that is the greatest denigration that can be perceived by the media.
So, the little fit being thrown by the Advocate as a result that it can’t get Jindal to say anything else that would actually justify the story and make Jindal look bad and/or a cad is this story, which masquerades to some degree as a straight news story but instead directly editorializes, “Jindal initially publicly defended Landrieu, D-La., but that changed after conservative heavyweights began bashing her for money she got for Louisiana before voting on the controversial health-care bill.” Translation: Jindal’s a bad guy because after rude guys he likes got involved, he wouldn’t protect poor little Mary.
To say this conclusion is inventive is realistic. To say that it has any relation to the truth is fantasy. Jindal repeated what he had said before, so how does he suddenly become “changed” in actions? Since they couldn’t get Jindal to act the way they wanted, it became an exercise in manufacturing a story to make it seem he acted that way.
Let this be a lesson to all observers of the media: scorn them and they go off the rails playing out revenge scenarios. Which leads to the ironic conclusion that this will cause the irrelevance they desperately seek to avoid, not because policy-makers won’t give them what they crave, but because consumers – as is happening throughout the newspaper industry – will stop paying attention to them precisely because of a surplus of playing out their insecurities in public such as this self-indulgent piffle.
Landrieu wants debate only when it helps her politically
In Sen. Mary Landrieu’s world, democratic debate is desirable only when it serves her interests, her reaction to the health care reform bill currently being considered in the Senate shows.
Recently, Democrat Landrieu caught a lot of flak for being the decisive vote for allowing the Senate to bring up for consideration the bill which will increase costs associated with health care while decreasing the quality of its provision as it attempts to usher in a government-run system. Landrieu got heat because, besides reminding that the vote was not on passage and just for consideration, she also had inserted a provision that would bring the state anywhere from $100-300 million to its Medicaid system for 2011. The state then, and in succeeding years, would have to pay vastly more for this program because the formula assigning payment proportions did not take into account injections of huge sums of federal dollars (for hurricane disaster recovery purposes) that boosted average state incomes.
But when it comes to debate over the merits of the entire country paying for that fix on Louisiana’s behalf, she appears dead set against kind of discussion. For years the taxpayers’ best friend in Congress has been Republican Sen. Tom Coburn, and he is trying to get an amendment that would remove that provision. Democrat leaders seem ready to fight that amendment from coming to the floor for debate.
If interested in the value of debate, confident in her request, and willing to respect the integrity of the institution, one would think Landrieu would welcome the opportunity to expound upon the merit of that provision. Instead, one of her hacks called it “political stunt” and that Coburn “has made a habit of grandstanding against Louisiana.” That may refer to Coburn’s questioning of the pace and use of recovery dollars in the past.
Of course, that neglects that Coburn tried to steer additional money to the state, specifically to repair the I-10 bridges over the Rigolettes, by chopping out unnecessary pork elsewhere – a fight on which Landrieu was AWOL. The current provision, another form of pork, Landrieu unabashedly has stumped for as a thinly disguised reason for her to allow the bill to be considered. Her ultimate goal is to actually vote against the entire measure so she can say she opposed this monstrously bad bill, yet for it have enough votes to pass it with this provision to claim credit also for this extra largesse.
But this strategy is too crass to admit, which is why she desperately wants to avoid debate. She then would have to explain why she does not seek a legislative solution in a separate bill, or as part of the regular appropriations bill for Medicaid through the federal department of Health and Human Services, for this formula change that otherwise would disproportionately impact the state. If this measure is so necessary, as Coburn wishes to contest, why can’t it stand alone, or in an appropriations bill? Is Landrieu that incapable and that ineffective as a senator to be unable to justify the fix on its own merits?
Probably, which is why she wants to short-circuit any hashing out of the issue. This contempt that she shows towards free expression tells us all we need to know about her true feelings about the value of policy discussion – if it benefits her political interests, debate away, but shut up if you oppose her especially when she cannot defend herself.
Regardless of motive, Kennedy idea publicizing valuable
Louisiana’s Treasurer John Kennedy has been the chief window-opener on the state’s Commission on Streamlining Government, which will wrap up its work shortly, letting in some fresh air as ideas crackle from him like electric sparks from a Van de Graaff generator. His enthusiastic approach has led to much speculation about his motives.
One is that this is in search of higher office. Churning out suggestions, many of which are well-received popularly, in the context of his past history as a political chameleon would hint at somebody looking to create a brand impression that would serve useful in a campaign, finally creating a definitive image that would put to rest his flirtation with the left and give him unimpeachable fiscal conservative credentials.
Yet if this a motive for outspokenness, Kennedy does not talk like somebody in any hurry to complete the process and to use the completed persona soon. He says he is not running for U.S. Senate next year nor for governor in 2011, the only two offices which would be considered enough of a promotion to forsake a safe Treasurer’s seat that he does say he will run for again that year.
Shedding buildings only way to stop Bossier catastrophe
It’s agreed that Bossier City’s elected officials have squandered a bounty that could have made it a very publicly safe, low-tax haven that would have produced an impressive economic growth machine. Now that they have put the city into a bind, appropriate to ongoing 2010 budget deliberations we must ask, what should they do to get it out?
To answer this, it’s instructive to review what they should not do. To begin, no competent solution can be derived unless all concerned recognize that the city has not a revenue problem, but a spending problem. As noted previously, Bossier City’s property tax rate is set at a level comparable to other cities of similar size in Louisiana so there’s no need to jack that up. Even had rates been rolled forward to compensate for past reassessments, the extra revenue would only have compensated for about a third of the shortfall that emerged during the 2009 budget year.
Four years ago, city politicians pulled off a shell game in compensating for deficits in areas that had nothing to do with water and sewerage by increasing those fees. Earlier this year, they floated the idea of another increase, this time one that would actually have to do with water and sewerage to help pay for upgrades in the system, but public backlash shot that down. This deficit appears set to continue, in part caused by the last increase because officials stupidly ignored basic economics and didn’t realize per user usage would decrease because it now was more expensive per unit. Worse, the city charter mandates after two years in a row of losses that a schedule be produced presumably eliminating the deficit which could allow the money-hungry Council to raise rates again, independently of the budget crisis.
Bill sponsoring gap shows Melancon's inability to lead
In another attempt to find something to write about during what may be considered a “slow” news period, the New Orleans Times-Picayune hit upon comparing during this session of Congress that the challenger to Republican Sen. David Vitter, Democrat Rep. Charlie Melancon, has introduced only six pieces of legislation, two symbolic only, while Vitter has put his name on 73. That’s not as interesting as is the reaction by the Melancon camp seeking to take the seat in 2010 in trying to spin this.
Melancon operatives sniff that their boss is good behind the scenes in trying to make legislation that is more “Louisiana friendly.” By contrast, they claim that Vitter does no more than “grandstanding” in proposing so much legislation few pieces of which ever make it into law.
Note the forensic sidestep being attempted here, as the staffers try to equate the quality of legislation with its chances of passage. This perverts the true definition of “quality” which is simply the degree to which the legislation helps the country. How popular legislation may be among members of a particular Congress has nothing to do with how good it is – as this 111th Congress has shown dramatically with useless spending that expanded the deficit by about a fifth in one fell swoop, stealth state-controlled universal health insurance for “poor children” (in some cases up to 25 years in age and whose families make nearly six-figure annual salaries), and other less publicized mistakes.
A review of Vitter’s legislation, even just that mentioned in the story, reveals some very good ideas such as preserving the most vulnerable members of society from being killed for convenience, foreign assistance incentives to reduce illegal immigration, and preventing government funding going to a community organizing group facing multiple felony charges. That majorities in Congress lack the wisdom to pass these kinds of measures speaks not their quality but rather the inability or unwillingness of that majority to understand the superiority of such policies and to empathize with the American people.
And while this small amount of legislative bill success that a Melancon handler classifies as something that “produces nothing for his constituents,” at least give Vitter credit that in being stymied he is not actually working against the best interests of his constituents as has Melancon by his support indirectly (through votes allowing liberal Democrats to control the House) and directly (by voting for such idiocy as the budget-busting spending bill early in the year that, at best, has done nothing to improve the country’s economic performance) of measures harmful to the country.
But, argue the Melancon hacks, their boss promotes changes to other bills to help his constituents. Yet when pressed to come up with some examples, most cited by them Melancon ended up voting against in the final bill. So how is that any different from their argument that Vitter’s work not making it into law is “ineffective” if both are on the losing side of votes, and how does this make Melancon any more “effective?” By making his Democrat superiors’ bills he doesn’t like only mildly damaging instead of very damaging? If he believes that, why is he supporting a party that causes so much damage?
Actually, doing things out of the limelight does seem to be Melancon’s style which helps his avoid publicity of more unsavory things he’s done to the taxpayers. For example, in the name of “research” with other members of Congress Melancon took a junket that spanned three continents, 20,000 miles and hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayers’ money that culminated in viewing telescopes and sending postcards from the South Pole. And this supposed investigation into man-made climate change (effects of climate change he could have observed just as easily driving for two hours in any direction in his district) itself was based upon what has become revealed to be questionable, if not outright fraudulent, science that he consistently has defended.
All of these attempts by Melancon apologists try to deflect observation of the essential truth: Melancon has more sympathy with the liberal agenda than not, and he will go along and get along with it by opposing where he can’t slow down his masters’ preferred items but, like the faithful lap dog that he is, always supporting them when they need his vote. If nothing else, that Vitter takes strong principled positions promoting beneficial legislation in contrast to Melancon’s cravenness should tell voters all they need to know about who would be better to lead for Louisiana’s interests in the Senate.
Fulfilling requests digitally thrift idea worth pursuing
It may have cost the state $13,000, but at least it can learn what needs to be done to ensure greater efficiency particularly needed in these times of budgetary stress.
The state’s First Circuit Court of Appeals recently ruled that it was not good enough to fulfill a public records request just to place documents available for public inspection on the Internet, and awarded the plaintiff $13,000 in attorney’s fees because the Public Service Commission did not produce public records in a timely fashion. Part of the reason for the delay was the PSC’s contention, since the records in question already were viewable via the Internet, that it had fulfilled the request.
However, the plaintiff wanted paper copies, and the law backed him up. R.S. 44:32 states “it shall be the duty of the custodian of such public records to provide copies to persons so requesting,” even as fees may be charged. Thus, while those kinds of documents can be put out on the Internet, they still have to be provided in paper form on request.
Servicing these requests can take much employee time and some physical resources. It would be much more efficient for each agency that serves as a custodian of public records to place as many records as possible online, create simple web processes by which to access them, and be allowed to fulfill requests this way. For those who claim they do not have access to the Internet, each agency could set up terminals and printers to allow these requestors to come to the agency to get access.
Of course, this would require a change in statute to permit record provision without the state having to hand over a fee-for-service hard copy except those done at the proposed workstation and whichever records for whatever reason cannot be put online. The Legislature also would have to commit to a program of putting all possible state records online and funding the establishment of the workstations.
While this would pass along printer and paper costs to requestors (they already absorb most search costs because of the specificity required in a request), these are relatively small, not even necessary if the downloaded records are used from digital media, and certainly are dwarfed by the costs to taxpayers to fund government to do it, subsidizing a small number of requestors. In fact, they may end up being cheaper for many requestors since the state typically charges much higher fees than it actually costs in terms of printing. These changes need pursuing during the next regular session.
Thanksgiving Day, 2009
This column publishes usually every Sunday through Thursday after noon (sometimes even before; maybe even after sundown on busy days) U.S. Central Time except whenever a significant national holiday falls on the Monday through Friday associated with the otherwise-usual publication on the previous day (unless it is Independence Day or Christmas or New Year's when it is the day on which the holiday is observed by the U.S. government). In my opinion, there are six of these: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas.
With Thursday, Nov. 26 being Thanksgiving Day, I invite you to explore the link above.
Liberal protest misdiagnosis sign of their own weakness
Selective outrage never is becoming, but it becomes more obnoxious still when it becomes selective selective outrage. An unsigned commentary from New Orleans’ Gambit magazine illustrates the point precisely.
The Gambit folks apparently became perturbed when, locally, in the wake of Republican Rep. Anh “Joseph” Cao’s vote to pass a ruinously bad House health care measure received some rude remarks from people disappointed in that, and, nationally, that at a rally attended by 10,000 or so to protest the bill in Washington D.C. headlined by leading Republicans, a sign appeared equating a photo of a concentration camp with the bill. To them, it seemed to signify a recent growing incivility in political discourse.
But, in reality, the piece tells us more about the fallaciousness and insecurities of its writers. The entire diatribe focused on this presumed speech coming from alleged supporters of the Republican Party and by implication from the right of the ideological spectrum. And to bolster its attempt to define this speech into its being uncivil, the writers mention that two groups called upon Republican leaders to condemn it as such. Recognize this tactic serves a broader political agenda to accomplish the proverbial passing of a camel through the eye of a needle, to try to delegitimize principled conservatism by a shotgun marriage of it with these other sentiments by the drawing of condemnation of groups allegedly representing the objects of these slurs.
This attempt unravels when first investigating the groups. One, the Anti-Defamation League, famously preaches from the left and long has a history of selective outrage: speech from the right it finds offensive draws immediate ire; but unquestionably hateful speech from places with which left sympathizes draws mild rebukes if any at all. The other, the Asian Pacific Americans for Progress, describes itself as an organization for “progressive” (read: very liberal) people and swears absolutely fealty to the health care reform wreck supported by Democrats. That they are the ones condemning remarks isn’t so much any validation that these remarks are objectionable as it is revelation of their own partisan political biases. Naturally, the editorial mentions none of this.
Note also that the writers are building a thesis by selectively taking unrepresentative evidence and attempting to impute it to the whole. Maybe, out of the thousand or more signs at the rally, were there a couple others of the same ilk that got the writers into a huff. And the submitted comments about Cao that so vexed these crusaders are unlikely to represent more than a similar proportion of the entire universe of those objecting to Cao’s vote. Yet they try to pass off these as some larger indicator of widespread “hatred” that has created this “ugly season.”
This cavalier reading makes one wonder where these nimrods have been for the past decade. If you want to see real vituperative hate in political discourse, you need look no further than dozens of wacko leftist blogger and forum sites where the venom has been flowing freely ever since former Pres. Bill Clinton got caught with his fly unzipped. This should not be surprising, as liberalism as a whole lacks intellectual and empirical verification as a political ideology, so it must rely on willful ignorance of history and fact with these replaced by emotive anti-intellectual appeal. Yet this seems to escape the slumbering authors, perhaps because they revel in the same self-deception and/or inability to think for themselves.
Being an ideology bereft any intellectual coherence and substance, liberalism’s proponents long ago took and made mainstream arguments into directions featuring ad hominem, straw man, and dissembling qualities. Not unlike what Gambit’s editorialists try to do when they imply negative qualities to the right when it has been the left’s province for so long. Liberals have for so long have created the conditions and lived in an “ugly season” that when seeing a flicker of it on the right they cannot break from the playbook which results in the usual incorrect, self-serving interpretation.
Reform, reorganization best ways to gain large savings
In what promises to be a slow news week, the Baton Rouge Advocate ran a story about something in state government that was not anything new, but nevertheless interesting and worthwhile in the complicated public policy debate about force levels and classification of state government workers.
Those perusing the latest available (2007-08) annual report of the Department of State Civil Service will have noted that force levels overall did not change too much in the fiscal year 2004-2008 periods, but that a decrease of around 5,000 in the classified ranks was offset by a more than 5,000 increase in the unclassified service. Classified employees, after a six month probationary period, acquire job protections that vastly constrain agency abilities to discipline or to make workforce adjustments that would result in lower salaries for them, and which make it very difficult in an extended process to discharge them.
However, the article focuses on the unclassified workforce – those whose personnel matters are outside the hiring, disciplining, and firing regulations of the DSCS and are left up to the agencies that employ them. It notes this increase in the unclassified service and ponders about its implications. Unfortunately, the piece does not adequately capture the complexity of this argument, a necessary prerequisite as Louisiana looks to reduce its personnel costs by making its government more efficient as large budget deficits loom.
Regrettably, the article leaves the impression that the vast majority of the roughly one-third of the state’s full-time equivalent workforce in the unclassified service are presumed less “controllable” as objects of state spending policy and are at-will, if not political, appointees. However, it is decidedly not the case that more than a fraction of the unclassified service is comprised of positions whose existences, compensations, and hiring and firing positions are left mainly in the hands of elected officials and/or policy-makers.
Most of the unclassified service has performance pay plans in place – and often plans tying actual performance more closely to pay adjustments than presently in the classified service. For example, in higher education where the majority of these unclassified employees work, campuses years ago were directed to construct performance plans that assign numerical scores to various and mostly objective indicators, along with a few subjective ones, from which pay raises are calculated. In fact, campuses themselves determine whether raises are made and how, and with the fiscal situation such as it has been for the state for the past quarter-century these have been far and few between.
Contrast this with the procedure in the classified system, where the more-subjective evaluation process produces a five-tiered system where the same raise, until this year given annually, is given to anybody in the three higher tiers or well over 95 percent of the classified force. This may change, as the State Civil Service Commission in a couple of weeks will decide whether to change the present classified evaluation system to one that is actually closer to that often used in evaluating members of the unclassified service.
Also, in the instances of anyone who entered or laterally moved into the higher education system in a tenure-track position, these take on characteristics of the classified service. After, in essence, a much longer probationary period (usually six years; some actually come in with tenure and thus have no probationary period), they acquire protections similar to those in the classified service.
Finally, the reason why the proportion of about a third of the state’s employees are unclassified is because of two quirks tolerated in Louisiana, a higher education system that could use some more rationalization in organization and a charity hospital system run by a higher education system. The state’s head count (as opposed to FTE) number for the end of fiscal year 2009 shows almost half of the state’s employees are in higher education. (Some of this is overstated because, for example, part of that count will be students on work-study, adjunct instructors teaching a single course, etc.). But, given the large number of campuses (90) and five boards that oversee postsecondary education that may not do a lot to prevent inefficiency, ongoing cost-cutting deliberations may produce some retrenchment in almost all unclassified positions from this area.
Note as well that because higher education (the Louisiana State University System, specifically) has authority over the charity hospital system, the vast bulk of its employees are categorized here and are unclassified. Were the state do the sensible thing and get out of the hospital business except for a facility or two used for medical training (if even any are necessary), these jobs, most unclassified, would disappear from state rolls.
And if DSCS did look into the data to explain the changes in both areas of employment, it probably would find most of the downsizing in classified employee numbers has come from the aftereffects of the 2005 hurricane disasters, and subsequent reductions stressed by the Gov. Bobby Jindal Administration, partly out of budgetary concerns and partly out of ideology, and by other officials with power in this area (most notably Agriculture Commissioner Mike Strain), while the increase in unclassified employee tallies has come from the large amount of money pumped into higher education for several years until last year and unabated escalation of Medicaid costs and usage that have pumped up demand in the charity hospital system. It’s likely not as mysterious a development as DSCS officials seem to think.
Thus, the perception that the proportion is recklessly growing of the Louisiana state government workforce created and supervised at the whim of officials, and the allied thought that cost-cutting measures here would reap significant rewards, is unwarranted. Many more savings will emerge through mundane technocratic kinds of reorganization and reform of the present classified pay regime than by a scrubbing of unclassified positions where people are hired and fired at will.
Wise higher ed suggestions need serious consideration
Sensible ideas continue to come from Louisiana’s Postsecondary Education Review Commission regarding realigning resources, but especially in this policy area real progressive change only will occur with proper implementation.
The latest recommendations, joining others some of which can be implemented by the state’ Board of Regents but most of which only can be dealt with by the Legislature, would result in the discontinuation of some academic programs, perhaps especially in graduate studies, with an emphasis on completion rates, quality, and workforce needs to sort those that continue from those that shouldn’t. In addition, it recommended equal funding per faculty member for associates degree programs (those offered at baccalaureate universities typically are higher because of higher faculty salaries) and the elimination of “excess” hours in programs (currently defined as any baccalaureate program offering more than 120 hours except where accreditation requires more).
These recommendations remain consistent with previous ones suggested if not adopted. For example, PERC has asked for higher admission standards and consolidation of schools in some instances. That was brought up again particularly in reference to Southern University – New Orleans which has averaged about 10 percent completers (finishing a degree in six years) over the past couple of years. Adding the reduction of programs could strip a school like SUNO to the point where it has no real reason to exist as a separate institution.
This may be the only way to move the state towards consolidations and even closure or downgrading of campuses from four-year to two-year, as politics has played a major role in keeping this from happening. While the Southern University System may complain that the ravages of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 have had lingering effects on its ability to deliver education, that calamity’s intervention made for the ideal opportunity to put consolidation into effect. With the University of New Orleans also hurting from that disaster (as one of its coping moves, looking to downgrade significantly its athletics programs despite their history of reasonable success), it would have made perfect sense long ago to combine forces by folding the small SUNO into the larger UNO and divest of the SUNO infrastructure.
However, as a commission member pointed out, the state cannot arbitrarily lop off any low completer program or consolidate it elsewhere. One example from my past: years ago, Louisiana State University Shreveport offered a Bachelors of Arts in Social Sciences – Public Administration. From anywhere from five to 10 students were enrolled in it at any time. It was certainly needed – there are thousands of government employees (not counting teachers and university professors) in the Shreveport metropolitan area in managerial positions – but it received little support in terms of connecting it to government (although at the time LSUS spent almost nothing on these kinds of efforts, so it wasn’t being discriminated against). But it cost nothing to have. Its major coursework was taught by faculty members whose courses were used in other majors as well, and the only extra and modest administrative demands it made were added to the duties of one faculty member (me).
Eventually, it was discontinued as part of a round a dozen years ago ridding low completer programs. However, not a single cent was saved by doing so, and under different circumstances it would have had great potential. It is considerations such as these that will have to be weighed by any round (yet again) of low completer removals.
One option not present in the past, also suggested by a commission member, is the use of online delivery as a method of consolidation. For example, Illinois has a quasi-separate administrative unit within the University of Illinois system called the Illinois Virtual Campus which essentially allows any student at any state public university to take a course online offered at any state public university and have it count as potentially fulfilling a degree requirement at their home school. This model could be adapted to Louisiana where instruction of duplicative specialty programs could housed in one institution administratively and then delivered through distance means.
Further, increased use of online instructional resources can create specialization and efficiency. As an example, it is now possible at LSUS to fulfill all major area requirements for a B.A. in Social Sciences – Political Science through online coursework, and the same holds true for a Bachelors of General Studies, except for the capstone course, if the area of concentration chosen is in political science. This presently can attract students who complete associates degrees at community colleges across the state, who then virtually without leaving their areas can transfer and complete a four-year degree.
Yet this can be expanded in the context of realigning resources. As an example, smaller schools who either do not offer political science beyond the introductory level or general studies as a major could import LSUS political science courses, or those schools if they have these majors if low completer in nature could shed them from being taught on their campuses yet their students still could complete those degrees with use of the imported courses. Obviously this would create controversy because it could mean certain faculty members in certain disciplines at certain schools would be made redundant, but if the state is serious about efficiency, it’s going to be headed in that direction. (And the transformation would take some time – if tenured, faculty members essentially would have to leave their jobs before such realignment could happen in a cost effective way.)
To date, even as PERC is asked to come up with $146 million in savings prior to the end of February, most of the real savings are long-term in nature such as with the above. Regardless of these not being short-term items, ideas such as these promise substantial savings through more efficient alignment of resources, and PERC wisely needs to keep heading and recommending in this direction. Then it will be up to the Regents and Legislature to put aside politics to adopt them and into implement them with care.

Space Manifesto: when communism and drag queendom meet their alien offspring
by Atossa January 28, 2019
written by Atossa January 28, 2019
Communism, queer,activism, non binary visibillity,pink triangles and space. This is Space manifesto.
How did you start doing Drag? What are your core influences?
I started out at a friend’s birthday party. There was a competition that resembled RuPaul’s Drag Race, where we acted crazy, and the drag queen Chraja was there, who proposed to me to get invovled with drag. I was really excited with this idea! A week later, I performed my first show at the BeQueer club. Other than that, I had little knowledge about RuPaul’s Drag race, since I had seen just a few seasons of the show when I started my drag. My main drag influences were the queens that I watched perform at local clubs, as well as artists who had build a persona, such as David Bowie.
What were your internal motives with which you were driven to create Space, and what are the symbols that you manifest through her?
The last three years I’ve been in several movements, like in political left coups, in queer groups, in enterprises, in marches, etc., that helped me to develop my present political identity. I may own a different one in five years, though. I’m a communist, I believe in queer, and I feel best represented by the anarchy-queer movement. Through Space, I choose to show that it is cool to be a communist. Communism isn’t just what the history books have taught us, about Stalin, there are good parts of it, like the ones that took place in the first years of the Soviet Union. Moreover, through meta-Marxist theories and analysis, through the feminist movement in communism, it is proven that communism could be a system that is able to create an ideal world. With equality, without hierarchy, without discriminations, without pillars of the system that, to me, right now are causing all this inequality, ex the nation, the patriarchy, etc. This theoretical concept is not yet complete in my mind, but to me, communism is hope.

Do you have any political idols?
Yes. They are almost too many to count. I think that my biggest political idols are Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera.
By Space Manifesto, you have started a discussion about gender identities. Would you like to elaborate on this?
Yes. Space is a genderfluid character. Actually, out of drag I’m non-binary, so, as e result, Space is also non-binary. Space is more Butlerian than me in a way, because her non-binary realness is performed by her outfits, her use of a wig or not,etc, her looks, whereas I (oyt of drag) don’t believe that much in the theory of performativity, like, for example a certain performativity can make me more queer than my naked body, or when I wear my pyjamas.
Space is queer. Do you think that there might be certain dysfunctionalities in the greek queer movement, that should come to light?
That’s a nice question! Yes, in Greece we have to conclude to what is queer, actually. This is the main problematic that needs to be resolved (laughs). For example, to me, queers are freaks, they are the part of the lgbtqi community that are out on the fringes and choose to fight like that. For example, meetings of institutional lgbtqi entities and government representatives, this is not queer activism to me. Queer, as a term, is usually used as an definitive umbrella, instead of LGBTQI. To my opinion, addressing the definition of queer and resolving this tension, might inspire queers to finally stand together, promote their communication and become the foundation of resolving other problems that occur within the greek queer community.

What’s Space’s back story?
Space comes from a planet that’s in a galaxy far away and there we had a fully automated luxurious space communism and everything was just marvelous. She went for vacation, but she got lost and landed on earth and, more specifically, in Greece, but the earthian technology wasn’t advanced enough to send her home, so now she’s forced to eat the shits of capitalism, patriarchy, etc. Here in Earth, the only humans she can relate to are drag queens, who are also perceived as freaks and outcasts, just like she is, due to her alien attributes. As a result, drag queens are kinder to her, because they identify with her marginalization. Space, too, feels cool around them and she starts doing drag to make a living, since it’s the only job she can get. In the meantime, she attempts to overthrow the existing systems of repression and to show earthians how cool was communism in her planet.
How does Space aspire to help the greek queer world?
Space doesn’t try to be anyone’s savior. Other than that, I feel that’s she contributing by advocating for communism, and using symbols, such as the communist star in her makeup, her clothes or other political symbols, like the pink triangle. She also speaks through her political voice and statement, managing accordingly her narratives, or even her lipsyncs. I’d like to add that making a political propaganda doesn’t have to be something miserable, it could be an opportunity to communicate important matters, like work rights, or the non-binary visibility in and out of drag. I could give you some examples via specific performances of mine, if you’d like to.

We could discuss about the performance you’ve carried through at the “Glam Slam 3” event, where you first presented your Manifesto, calling all the drag queens to claim their working payment rights. Would you like to deliver on that?
First of all, I want to clarify that this was a strongly conscious choice of calling emphasizing the positionality of drag queens in the text (because in Greece there are numerically more drag queens than drag kings right now). Despite that, this is a manifesto that calls every drag performer. When I started doing drag, I dealt with a payment situation that I met in most kinds of jobs, especially those that had to do with art. I’ve worked as an assistant in several projects without payment, with my consent. And on up to that day, I had executed shows as a drag performer, where I wasn’t payed at all, in order to gain some visibility about my work and star claiming paid work in the future. That was my conscious decision, until then. Nobody promised me any salary that didn’t give me in the end, and I had a clear agreement about that with every person I have worked with, that’s why I don’t blame anyone personally.
Of course, politically speaking, I get the fact that it’s just another aspect of the existing greek economical system, that is leaking. So, I decided to do this performance, in order to coil all drag queens with a union that its main goal is to claim our rights, such as getting paid, set a minimum wage and having social security. The fact that, a drag queen is making all these preparations, the rehearsals, etc to offer a quality show and not making any money out of it (even though the drag experience is ultimately worthy in every way), this makes me very sad.

Have you ever felt targeted?
Yes, in and out of the community. Some times I’ve been targeted because I’m a drag queen from alt-rights and fascists, some times I’ve been targeted from members of the community just because I’m a communist and other times I’ve been targeted from communists because I’m queer. But, through these incidents someone can find people with common ground personally and politically. So, Ι guess that every cloud has a silver lining.
What are your aspirations about Space’s future?
I’d like to communicate her thematic via her performances even better. I’d really love for Space to make an album where she’ll narrate stories of her daily life in Earth. The Union maybe is a goal for Space, if it happens, it’d be her biggest accomplishment.

Dr. C & the Gris Gris: “Graveyard Dog” – rootsy, swampy, Cajun and blues-influenced!
Published on January 15, 2018 in Releases by staff
Dr. C & the Gris Gris signifies the best of what happens when three talented musicians, who have nothing to prove, come together, leaving their egos at the door to simply create music that satisfies them. Their southern twisted rock is unpretentious, melodic and substantially thick sounding. The band has such a laid-back attitude on their single “Graveyard Dog”, where they exude no shock tactics, no awe, no gimmicks, no “Coming soon to an arena near you!” proclaims – strictly rock music for whoever happens to be tuned in. Members of the band have had the opportunity to open for acts such as Cheap Trick, Fuel, and Sevendust, among many others, which may explain their quiet confidence.
In fact, the band’s biggest calling card is their seemingly nonchalant approach, like a bunch of old friends who rediscovered their equipment in a college buddy’s garage and are rehashing rock’s glorious days with brilliant ease.
Dr. C & the Gris Gris is a good time to be shared with everyone else, and you can certifiably sense how much joy they’re getting out of being in a band too. Nobody can say with any earnest certainty where these guys will end up, but they’re certainly a breath of fresh air in an industry fabricated on mendacious hype.
The whole of “Graveyard Dog” – which comes off the band’s upcoming debut album, entitled “Hexes with Axes” – is as good as the sum of its parts and better than a bunch of similar rock tracks that’s come out in a while.
Every minute you turn around on this recording, the instrumentation and the vocals are up to something creative that legitimately contributes to the song, without ever overstaying its welcome or overshadowing anything else. The Lafayette trio disregard modern corporate rock convention in favor of the more rootsy, swampy, Cajun and blues-influenced sound on this track.
The whole thing plays like a shout of joy, a celebratory whoop from a group of musicians delighted to be playing together. And “Graveyard Dog” proves to be as engaging and as heavy-hitting as anything being produced by the hungry new breed of rockers out there.
It is as passionate and thrilling as could possibly have been hoped for – a typically glorious combination of vintage rock and groovy southern elements all filtered through the Dr. C & the Gris Gris machine to create what can simply be termed great rock ‘n’ roll!

Happy Birthday Senator Stevens – You Lose !
James Hicks Follow on Twitter November 19, 2008
Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens, the Republican lawmaker convicted on felony corruption charges in October, officially conceded the Senate race to Democrat Mark Begich on Wednesday (one day after his 85th birthday).
“Given the number of ballots that remain to be counted, it is apparent the election has been decided and Mayor Begich has been elected,” Stevens said in a news release.
“It was a tough fight that would not have been possible without the help of so many Alaskans — people who I am honored to call my friends. … I wish Mayor Begich and his family well. My staff and I stand willing to help him prepare
for his new position,” he added.
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin also congratulated Begich on Wednesday.
“I extend my congratulations to Mark Begich and his family. This is a new era for Alaska, and I look forward to working with Mark on the many issues that are important to our state. I am confident he will add a compelling new voice to the U.S. Senate,” Palin said in a statement.
Palin praised Stevens, saying his “tireless efforts on behalf of the state he loves have benefited all those who call it home.”
With 100 percent of Alaska’s precincts reporting, Begich, the mayor of Anchorage, had roughly 48 percent of the vote, compared with about 47 percent for Stevens, according to CNN’s latest tally. [via]

Trends and Control Technologies of Volatile Organic Compound
Kim, Jo-Chun 743
Volatile organic compound (VOC) has been well-known to Korea since the end of 1990's however, it has not been well documented until now. In this study, present ambient VOC levels, VOC emission sources, and VOC control technologies were reviewed and discussed. In addition, VOC management strategies to cut down ozone concentrations were suggested based on the present VOC database. For anthropogenic VOC reduction, VOC emitted from painting processes and automobiles should be controlled in the first place in large cities such as Seoul, Daegu, and Incheon. For natural VOC management, low emission trees need to be planted in those cities. It is also very significant to keep updating present and future VOC emission inventories for efficient VOC control strategies. As a conclusion, more systematic VOC control road-map based on BACT (best available control technology) needs to be made up. and more economical and efficient VOC control techniques have to be developed under strong national support in order to lower toxic VOC and photochemical oxidant levels.
Biological Removal of a VOC Mixture in a Two-stage Bioreactor
Song, Ji-Hyeon 758
A two-stage bioreactor, which consists of a biotrickling filter module and a biofilter module in series, was investigated for the enhanced treatment of a VOC mixture, toluene and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Throughout the experiments, the overall inlet loading rate was maintained at approximately $43g/m^3/hr$, but the inlet ratios of the VOCs were modified. The experimental results showed that the different ratios of the VOC mixture resulted in changes of overall removal efficiencies, elimination capacities (ECs) and microbial accumulation on the surface of each packing material. The ratio of inlet toluene to MEK at 50 : 150 was found to be most effective in terms of the overall removal efficiency, because, at this condition, MEK (i.e., the hydrophilic compound) was mostly removed in the biotrickling filter module and the following biofilter module was used to remove toluene. It was also found that when the inlet loading rate of the VOC mixture was serially increased stepwise within short-term periods, the ECs for toluene dropped significantly but the ECs for MEK increased at the ratio of the VOC mixture. These results implied that substrate interaction and/or substrate preferable utilization might have an effect on the biological removal of each compound in the two-stage bioreactor; therefore, the bioreactor should be operated in the condition where the substrate interaction could be minimized in order to maximize overall performance of the two-stage bioreactor.
A Study on the Comparison of Atmospheric Concentrations of Volatile Organic Compounds in a Large Urban Area and a Sub-Urban Area
Park, Ji-Hyae;Seo, Young-Kyo;Baek, Sung-Ok 767
This study was carried out to evaluate the temporal variations of VOCs at an urban site, and to compare the concentrations of VOCs at an urban site in Daegu with those at a suburban site in Gyeongsan. Three hourly VOC samples in the ambient air were collected using a sequential tube sampler (STS 25, Perkin Elmer) throughout two weeks during May and July representing spring and summer seasons, respectively. The VOC concentrations were determined by an automatic thermal desorption apparatus with GC/MS analysis. A total of 12 VOCs of environmental concern were determined, which are chloroform, benzene, trichloroethylene, toluene, tetra-chloroethylene, ethylbenzene, m+p-xylenes, o-xylene, styrene, 1,3,5- and 1,2,4-trimethylbenzenes. Among 12 target VOCs, the most abundant compound appeared to be toluene, being followed by xylenes. The mean concentrations at the urbn site were 1.2 pub for benzene and 20.4 ppb for toluene (n=221) while the mean levels at the suburban site were 0.9 ppb and 4.3 ppb for benzene and toluene (n=96), respectively. The urban site concentrations were typically several-fold higher than those measured at the suburban site. It was found that general trends of VOC levels were significantly dependent on traffic conditions at the sampling site since VOC concentrations were at their maximum during rush hours, i.e. $9{\sim}12a.m$ and $6{\sim}9p.m$. Statistical investigations were conducted to investigate any significant relationships between VOC concentrations and affecting factors. Calculated correlation coefficients among VOCs were positively significant at a level of 0.05 in most cases. Increased concentrations of toluene in the urban site were estimated to reflect the effect of large industrial sources, mainly from textile industry.
Relative Contribution of the Oxidation of VOCs to the Concentrations of Hydroxyl (OH) and Peroxy Radicals in the Air of Seoul Metropolitan Area
Shon, Zang-Ho 779
This study examines relative contributions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to the formation of hydroxyl (OH) and peroxy radicals such as $HO_2$ and $RO_2$ during the intensive sampling period (Jun. $1{\sim}30$, 2004) in the air of Seoul metropolitan area. As to the contribution of VOCs to $HO_x$ levels, the impact of individual VOC concentration change on $HO_2$ concentration change was more than an order of magnitude higher than that on OH concentration change during the study period. The contribution of change in isoprene concentration to $HO_2$ concentration change was 38 times higher than OH and that in the concentration of alkene compounds to $HO_2$ concentration change was 31 times higher than OH. Moreover, the concentration changes of isoprene and aromatic compounds (AROM) played significant roles in $HO_x$ concentration changes. On the other hands, aldehydes (ALD2) and alkanes (ALKA) showed anti-correlation (negative) in $HO_x$ concentration changes with low contribution ($-4{\times}10^{-3}$ pptv/ppbv (OH) and $-58{\times}10^{-3}$ ($HO_2$) for ALD2; $-1{\times}10^{-3}$ (OH) and $-15{\times}10^{-3}$ ($HO_2$) for ALKA). Unlike other VOCs, $C_2H_6$ and $C_3H_8$ showed positive or negative contribution to peroxy radicals, depending on ambient air conditions. The contribution of VOC concentration changes to changes in $CH_3O_2$ and $RO_2$ concentration showed similar pattern to $HO_x$ contribution.
A Comparison Study on Isoprene Emission Rates from White Oak
Son, Youn-Suk;Kim, Jo-Chun;Kim, Ki-Joon;Lim, Yong-Jae;SunWoo, Young;Hong, Ji-Hyung 791
In order to investigate the NVOC (Natural Volatile Organic Compound) emissions from White Oak, the emission rates of isoprene were measured according to season, weather conditions, and the age of the tree. The analysis of seasonal emission rates showed that the emission rates were the highest during summer followed by spring and fall. The emission rates during summer were found to be nearly 8 times greater than those during fall. In addition, it was observed that the emission rates of isoprene depends on PAR and temperature. Moreover, the effect of age on the emission rates was studied, and the White Oak in the age range of $21{\sim}30$ had higher emission rates than that in the range of $41{\sim}50$. Accordingly, the current result indicates that the isoprene emissions are affected by both meteorological parameter and the age of a tree.
Catalytic Deep Oxidation of Volatile Organic Compounds Toluene and Toluene+Xylene over γPt/γ-Al2O3 Catalysts at Lower Temperatures
Kim Sang-Hwan;Kang Tae-Sung;Yang Hee-Sung;Nhu Y Vu Trinh;Park Hyung-Sang 799
The catalytic activity of $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts for the oxidation of toluene and toluene+xylene mixture was investigated in the microreactor of fixed-bed type. The calcination temperatures and loadings of $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts played the important role in the activity of catalysts for the oxidation of toluene. The increasing calcination temperatures and loadings of $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts increased the crystallite size of the platinum to result in the higher oxidation activity of catalysts. The catalytic activity for the toluene oxidation over $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts turned out to be increasing in the order of $500^{\circ}C\;<\;800^{\circ}C<600^{\circ}C\;<\;700^{\circ}C$ for calcination temperatures and 0.1 wt% < 0.3 wt% < 1.0 wt% for platinum loadings, respectively. The 1.0 wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts calcined at $700^{\circ}C$ for 3 hrs in the air showed the highest activity for the oxidation of the toluene. The decrease of oxidation activity of $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts calcined at $800^{\circ}C$ might result from the decrease of active sites by sintering of platinum metals as well as ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ supports. The 1.0wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalyst showed the activity from the lower temperature at $120^{\circ}C$, reached the light-off temperature ($T_{50%}$) at $180^{\circ}C$, and leveled off its activity at $340^{\circ}C$ with the conversion of 100% 'Mutual promotion' effects were observed for the binary mixture of toluene and xylene. The activity of the easy-to-oxidize toluene was slightly increased with the existence of the xylene. It might suggest the different mechanism for the oxidation of toluene and xylene on the $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts on different sites, and its reaction of gaseous oxygen.
Classification of Pollution Patterns in High School Classrooms using Disjoint Principal Component Analysis
Jang, Choul-Soon;Lee, Tae-Jung;Kim, Dong-Sool 808
In regard to indoor air quality patterns, the government introduced various polices that were about managing and monitoring quality of indoor air as a major assignment, and also executed 'Indoor Air Quality Management Act' which was presented in the May, 2004. However, among the multi-usage facilities controlled by the Act, the school was not included yet. This study goal was to investigate PM 10 pollution patterns of the high school classrooms using a pattern recognition method based on cluster analysis and disjoint principal component analysis, and further to survey levels of inorganic elements in May, June, and September, 2004. A hierarchical clustering method was examined to obtain possible objects in pseudo homogeneous sample classes by transformation raw data and by applying various distance. Following the analysis, the disjoint principal component analysis was used to define homogeneous sample class after deleting outliers. Then three homogeneous Patterns were obtained as follows: the first class had been separated and objects in the class were considered to be sampled under semi-open condition. This class had high concentration of Ca, Fe, Mg, K, Al, and Na which are related with a soil and a chalk compounds. The second class was obtained in which objects were sampled while working air-conditioners and was identified low concentration of PM 10 and elements. Objects in the last class were assigned during rainy day. A chalk, soil element and various types of anthropogenic sources including combustions and industrial influenced the third class. This methodology was thought to be helpful enough to classify indoor air quality patterns and indoor environmental categories when controlling an indoor air quality.
The Effect of Local Air Pollutants in a Background Area: Measurements at Gosan in March 2000
Kim, N.K.;Kim, Y.P. 821
To identify the effect of local air pollutants on the $PM_{2.5}$ level at Gosan, $PM_{2.5}$ composition data, continuous $O_3,\;NO_x,\;SO_2,\;CO$ data, VOCs data, surface wind characteristics, and backward trajectory analysis results were analyzed for the measurements in March 2000 during which high concentrations of mass and anthropogenic ionic species were reported. It was found that the combination of surface wind and continuous gaseous species data can help to identify local effect in Jeju Island. Even in a high $PM_{2.5}$ level case mainly affected by long range transport from China, it was Identified that local effects were also significant for both the duration and pollutants' levels.
The Characterization of Carbonyl Compounds in the Newly-Built Schools, Daegu City
Hwang, Yoon-Jung;Park, Hee-Sun;Jang, Seong-Il;Roh, Ki-Cheul;Son, Tae-Jung;Han, Jeong-Wook;Bae, Gi-Soo;Choi, Im-Jo 831
The study on school indoor air quality was carried out at classrooms, computer-rooms, laboratories and play- grounds for carbonyl compounds including formaldehyde during the winter time from November to December 2004 and during the summer time from June to July 2005. The sampling was conducted under the general school condition without any artificial intervention such as the sealing, ventilating or heating at indoor environments. The concentrations of formaldehyde at all types of indoor environments were lower than air quality standard of $120{\mu}g/m^3$ for public facilities. The mean concentrations of formaldehyde at indoors were $4.5{\sim}6.1$ times higher than those at outdoors. From the comparison between two year and one year old schools after construction, the concentrations of formaldehyde in two year old school were $30{\sim}38%$ lower than those in one year old school measured at classrooms and laboratories.
Prediction of Polychlorinated-dibenzofurans (PCDFs) Formation in Municipal Waste Incinerator
Ryu, Jae-Yong;Suh, Jeong-Min 842
The role of chlorination reactions in the formation of polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) in a municipal waste incinerator was assessed using a chlorination model for predicting PCDF isomer distributions. Complete distributions of PCDF congeners were obtained from a stoker-type municipal waste incinerator operated under 13 test conditions. Samples were collected from the flue gas prior to the gas cleaning system. While total PCDF yields varied by a factor of five to six, the distributions of congeners were similar. A chlorination model, dependent only on the observed distribution of monochlorinated isomers, was developed to predict the distributions of poly-chlorinated isomers formed by chlorination of dibenzofuran (DF). Agreement between predicted and measured PCDF isomer distributions was high for all homologues, supporting the hypothesis that DF chlorination can play an important role in the formation of PCDF byproducts.
Application of MODIS Satellite Observation Data for Air Quality Forecast
Lee, Kwon-Ho;Lee, Dong-Ha;Kim, Young-Joon 851
Satellites have been valuable tool for global/regional scale atmospheric environment monitoring as well as emission source detection. In this study, we present the results of application of satellite remote sensing data for air quality forecast in Seoul metropolitan area. AOT (Aerosol Optical Thickness) data from TERRA/MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectre-radiometer) satellite were compared to ground based $PM_{10}$ mass concentrations, and used to estimate the possibility of the aerosol forecasting in Seoul metropolitan area. Although correlation coefficient (${\sim}0.37$) between MODIS AOT products and surface $PM_{10}$ concentration data was relatively low, there was good correlation between MODIS AOT and surface PM concentration under certain atmospheric conditions, which supports the feasibility of using the high-resolution MODIS AOT for air quality forecasting. The MODIS AOT data with trajectory forecasts also can provide information on aerosol concentration trend. The success rate of the 24 hour aerosol concentration trend forecast result was about 75% in this study. Finally, application of satellite remote sensing data with ground-based air quality observations could provide promising results for air quality monitoring and more exact trend forecast methodology by high resolution satellite data and verification with long term measurement dataset.
Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Visibility Impairment by Airborne Pollen
Kim, Kyung-Won 863
Intensive visibility monitoring was conducted to investigate physical and chemical characteristics of visibility impairment by airborne pollen. Light attenuation coefficients were optically measured by a transmissometer, a nephelometer, and an aethalometer. Elemental, ionic, and carbonaceous species were chemically analyzed on the filters collected by $PM_{2.5}$ and $PM_{10}$ samplers. Aerosol size distribution was analyzed using a cascade impactor during airborne pollen period. Airborne pollen count was calculated using a scanning electron microscope. Airborne pollen was emitted into the atmosphere in springtime and funker degraded visibility through its scattering and absorbing the light. Average light extinction coefficient was measured to be $211{\pm}36Mm^{-1}$ when airborne pollen was not observed. But it increased to $459{\pm}267Mm^{-1}$ during the airborne pollen period due to increase of average $PM_{2.5}$ and $PM_{10}$ mass concentration and relative humidity and airborne pollen count concentration for $PM_{10}$, which were measured to be $46.5{\pm}29.1{\mu}g\;m^{-3},\;97.0{\pm}41.7{\mu}g\;m^{-3},\;54.1{\pm}11.6%$, and $68.2{\pm}89.7m^{-3}$, respectively. Average light extinction efficiencies for $PM_{2.5}$ and $PM_{10}$ were calculated to be $5.9{\pm}0.9$ and $4.5{\pm}0.8m^2 g^{-1}$ during the airborne pollen period. Light extinction efficiency for $PM_{10}$ increased further than that for $PM_{2.5}$. The average light extinction budget by airborne pollen was estimated to be about 24% out of the average measured light extinction coefficient during the airborne pollen period.
Impact Assessment of Remodeling Works on Indoor Air Quality in a University Library Building
Baek, Sung-Ok;Park, Dae-Gwon;Park, Sun-Young;Lee, Yeo-Jin 876
Recently, there have been a large number of remodeling (or renovation) works in old buildings in urban areas. Compared to new buildings, environmental risk might be more significant in such buildings where remodeling works are going on, since some parts of the building may still be in service for people. This study was carried out to investigate the impacts of remodeling works on the indoor air quality (IAQ) of a large building (a 22 stories university library). Indoor air monitoring was conducted during and after the remodeling works every two weeks for a one year period, and target compounds included BTEX, styrene, TVOC, carbonyl compounds such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. $CO,\;CO_2,\;PM_{10}$, and $PM_{2.5}$. Overall, the IAQ appeared to be recovered within two months after the remodeling works. However, in some places, concentrations of formaldehyde, toluene, xylene. and ethylbenzene showed higher levels even after works than those during the works. The results indicate that painting, glues and office furnitures are major sources of aromatic VOCs and formaldehyde. Therefore, in order to decrease the concentrations of toxic VOCs, the use of environmental-friendly building materials is strongly recommended during the remodeling works. In addition, IAQ control and management scheme (for example, baking the inside of the building) should be taken into consideration before reopening the buildings.
An Analysis on Influence of Geographical Variation Induced by Development Affecting to the Local Scale Wind Environment - Numerical Simulation using the Envi-met Model -
Jung, Woo-Sik;Park, Jong-Kil;Lee, Hwa-Woon 888
This study analyze the change of wind pattern and intensity according to the transform of surface conditions, such as land use and height of terrain, over the leeward region. In order to do this, we have employed 'Envi-met' microscale atmospheric numerical model. When the same wind condition is considered, the wind speed of base case having natural surface condition of Chunsudae shows the weakest strength among different cases such as the 'bare case' and the '20 m case' which the plants is removed and the height of terrain is flatted as 20 m above the sea level over the Chunsudae, respectively. The weakening of wind speed is a maximum of $4{\sim}8 m/s$ when the inflow wind speed is 55 m/s.
A Study on Ozone Passive Sampler (II) -Interference and Field Application
Jeong, Sang-Jin;Yang, Hee-Jun 904
Passive sampler is simple and inexpensive measuring equipment for air pollution. In this study we developed colorimetric ozone passive sampler which was coated a colorimetric reagent to a filter substrate. Interference of criteria all pollutant ($SO_2,\;NO_2,\;CO$) on ozone passive sampler was investigated through experimental chamber. Field measurement of developed ozone passive samper was compared automatic sampler result in Suwon area. The results shows interference of $SO_2$ gas is larger than other gases. Developed passive sampler can be roughly applicable to wind speed range from 0.8 to 3.3 m/s, temperature range from 3.9 to $27.5^{\circ}C$ and relative humidity range from 48 to 84%.
Analysis of the Green House Gas Reduction Scenarios in the Cement Manufacturing Industry
Kim, Hyun-Suk;Kang, Hee-Jung 912
This study examines greenhouse gas reduction potentials in cement manufacturing industry of Korea. An energy system model in the MARKAL (MARKet ALlocation) modeling framework was used in order to identify appropriate energy technologies and to quantify their possible implications In terms of greenhouse gas reduction. The model is characterized as mathematical tool for the long term energy system analysis provides an useful informations on technical assessment. Four scenarios are developed that covers the ti me span from 2000 to 2020. Being technology as a fundamental driving factor of the evolution of energy systems, it is essential to study the basic mechanisms of technological change and its role in developing more efficient, productive and clean energy systems. For this reasons, the learning curves on technologies for greenhouse gas reduction is specially considered. The analysis in this study shows that it is not easy to mitigate greenhouse gas with low cost in cement manufacturing industry under the current cap and trade method of Kyoto protocol.
Measurements of the Benzene Absorption Cross Section in the Range of Ultra Violet (UV)
Lee, J.S.;Ryu, S.Y.;Kim, H.H.;Woo, J.C.;Kim, K.B. 922
An absolute absorption cross section of benzene was measured with a spectrometer system including a mono-chrometer and a grating in the wavelength region of $240{\sim}280nm$ under the atmospheric pressure and room temperature in the laboratory. A certificated reference benzene gas ($98{\mu}mol/mol$ in $N_2$) was used to measure its absorption cross section. A 710 mm cell with a quartz window and a 150 W Xe arc lamp were employed. The magnitude of absorption cross section of $1.41{\times}10^{-18}cm^2$ was lower than that of the reference spectra ($2.5{\times}10^{-18}cm^2$) of high resolution spectrometer, Total measurement uncertainty was estimated to be 4.0%.
An On-line GC Analysis of Odorous VOC and S Gas in Ambient Air from a Residential Area at Ansan City, Korea
Kim, K.H.;Ju, D.W;Choi, Y.J.;Hong, Y.J.;Jeon, E.C.;Choi, C.R.;Koo, Y.S. 929
In this study, the concentrations of major odorous compounds including reduced sulfur compounds (DMS, $CS_2$, and DMDS) and aromatic VOC (benzene, toluene, xylene, etc.) were measured continuously using an on-line GC analytical system. Our measurements were made from a residential area of Ansan city during about two weeks period of October, 2004. The highest mean concentrations of reduced S and VOC were recorded as 56.9 ppt of DMS and 21.7 ppb of toluene, respectively. The results of this study generally show that the pollution levels for both types of chemicals are significant relative to previous measurement results reported from comparable sites, if the results are compared simply in terms of the magnitude of the measured concentration data. Moreover, when the relative importance of different compounds is compared in terms of the odor strength, it indicates that the contribution of reduced S compounds may be much more important than that of VOC in the study area.
Monitoring of Carbon Monoxide using MOPITT: Data Processing and Applications
Choi, Sung-Deuk;Chang, Yoon-Seok 940
The major source of carbon monoxide (CO) at the Earth's surface is the incomplete combustion of biomass and fossil fuels. Because the global lifetime of CO is about two months, it can be used as a tracer for pollution from anthropogenic activities and biomass hurtling. In this paper, we introduced the principle and algorithm of the Measurement of Pollution in the Troposphere (MOPITT) instrument for global CO monitoring. The MOPITT instrument, which was launched on the Satellite Terra in 1999, measures CO column and mixing ratio based on gas correlation radiometry. CO levels can be determined by a retrieval algorithm based on the maximum likelihood method minimizing the difference between observed and modeled radiances. MOPITT level 2 data (HDF format) can be downloaded through the Earth Observing System (EOS) data gateway of NASA. ASCII files of CO parameters can be extracted from HDF files, and then temporal and spatial distributions can be obtained. Finally, we showed an example of CO monitoring in April 2000. The locations of forest fires and distribution of MOPITT CO clearly indicated that not only anthropogenic emissions but also forest fires play an important role in CO levels and global CO distribution. Our introduction to MOPITT and the example of MOPITT data interpretation would be helpful for scientists who want to use the EOS data.

The Game of Twenty Questions
Although the process of creating a character mechanically is very important, the most important aspects of your character have very little to do with mechanics at all. What kind of character do you want to play? What is his history like? What are his goals? What is the most important thing in the world to him? These are questions you should consider before you even start to spend points.
1. What clan does your character belong to?
A character's clan is their most defining characteristic because each clan has a well-established and distinct set of philosophies, prejudices, and ideals. Whether a character adheres to they stereotypes of his clan or breaks them, one way or the other they will prove very important to his personality.
2. What family does your character belong to?
Just like a character's clan, a character's family is an especially important defining characteristic. The stereotypes of each clan are broad, but individual families within the clan have much more specific, detailed roles and attitudes that further define the identity of the clan and those who serve it.
3. Is your character a bushi, a shugenja, or a courtier?
Duty is an essential aspect of every samurai's life, and establishing exactly what manner of duty a character is obligated to perform is an important step in breathing life into him or her. Is the character a warrior and soldier, a priest and scholar, or a diplomat and politician?
4. How would others describe your character's appearance?
Every character should have a rough description in order to give him some sort of life when describing him to others. What is the character's most striking feature? Does his mood come through his appearance or is he inscrutable? Does he make others feel at ease, or make them uncomfortable?
5. What is your character's primary motivation?
Though all samurai are, in theory, solely devoted to fulfilling the wishes of their lord, most have their own goals as well. Some may be simple, such as maintaining the honor of your ancestors, while others may revolve around the recovery of a lost heirloom or the avenging of a slight to your family's honor.
6. Who is the person your character trusts most in the world?
characters should have some developed background in order to facilitate role-playing. This question not only includes the individual's identity, but how that person met the character, why they are so close, and other similar questions.
7. What is your character's greatest strength and weakness?
Strengths are what others see as respectable or admirable in the character, while weaknesses are what he would struggle to hide from others, lest they look down upon him for his failures. What does the character regard as his strengths and weaknesses, and how does this differ from his actual abilities?
8. What does your character think of Bushido?
Although all samurai pay homage to the code, most Clans and families revere certain tenets over others. Which does the character consider the most important and which does he consider inconsequential? Do his views differ from those of his Clan?
9. What is your character's opinion of his clan?
Of course all samurai are loyal and devoted servants of his Clan, but that does not mean they do not have their own opinions. Is the character a martial vassal of a pacifistic Clan? Or is he a pacifist in a society of warriors? does he disagree with the Clan's current enmities and alliances?
10. Is your character married?
Marriage is a very important institution in the Empire of Rokugan. A samurai's spouse is responsible for managing the estate, and actually wields considerable political power depending upon the size of their holdings. Was the character's marriage arranged, or is he or she still betrothed? Is it someone the samurai has actually met, or a complete stranger? Is there a case of true love that will interfere with the wedding, or will the samurai embrace duty over the wants of the heart?
11. Does your character have any prejudices?
Most Clans are negatively predisposed against at least one other Clan, most often as a result of conflicts that have endured for decades or even centuries. Is the character one who readily subscribes to these prejudices or has he developed his own dislikes of other Clans, even allied Clans, based on his own experiences?
12. To whom does your character owe the most loyalty?
The simplest answer to this question would of course be "The Emperor," but very few samurai have the honor to serve the Son of Heaven directly, instead serving someone in a long chain of authority that could include the Emerald Champion, the Clan Champions, the family daimyo, the provincial governors, or even the local magistrate. Whom does the character serve immediately, and is that person the one to whom he is the most loyal?
13. What are your character's favorite and least favorite things?
This could address a wide variety of responses, including material possessions, activities, locations, or almost anything else that could spring to mind. Why does the character revere these things? What significance do they have to his history?
14. Does your character have any recurring mannerisms?
Since everyone tends to act according to the same protocol and etiquette, minor and inoffensive details of behavior tend to get noticed more frequently. Does the character chew his lip when he is nervous? Perhaps he has a unique greeting that he prefers to use. What does he do with his hands when nothing is going on?
15. What about your character's emotions?
A true samurai is not supposed to show emotion, but no one is completely disciplined at all times, and everyone demonstrates some degree of emotion at one point or another. What emotion is the character most likely to display when the circumstances arise? What are the things that push him to the edge most easily, and which emotions are easiest for him to hold in check?
16. How would your character handle a subordinate's improper behavior?
The actions of a subordinate reflect the honor of his superior, and in such cases a superior has a considerable amount of leeway in dealing with a subordinate. Is the character the sort to demand the subordinate's seppuku over even a minor infraction (something that could get the character into significant trouble very quickly), or will he forgive the behavior and attempt to correct it?
17. How would your character's parents describe him?
Devotion to one's parents is considered proper behavior for any samurai, but devotion can be offered without any real respect between a parent and child. Does the character have a proper relationship with his parents or are they estranged? Was the character's upbringing a source of joy or dismay for his parents? Are they still alive, or were they taken from the character at a younger age?
18. What is your character's highest ambition?
Desire is a sin, but ambition tempered by duty is considered acceptable among most in the samurai caste. Bushi often aspire to become military leaders, for example, while courtiers desire nothing more than to rule over others at influential courts. What is the character's ultimate goal and, perhaps more importantly, how far is he willing to go in order to accomplish it?
19. How religious is your character?
Among bushi and courtiers, levels of religious devotion vary widely. Shugenja are of course religious, but even among their ranks some are more reverent than others. Is the character one to offer frequent prayers and make trips to the temple, or has he dismissed the need for religion and instead embraced the rule of steel in his life?
20. How will your character die?
This is a very important and intimidating question, but one that should be given consideration. Every samurai lives a few short feet from death, and death is a threat that can rear its head on any day of a samurai's entire life. What is the character's destiny? How will he meet his end when the time comes for him to join his ancestors, or to rejoin the universe as part of the Celestial Wheel?

Charles Gordon Gibson
Charles was born in 1865 at Rescobie, Forfarshire (Angus), Scotland to William and Mary Gibson. His father was a Railway Mechanic.
Charles studied medicine at Edinburgh University obtaining an M.B. Masters in 1889. After qualifying he worked as a S W B C M Edinburgh University Registered & Asylum Assistant Medical Officer.
He moved to Launceston in November 1891 and worked alongside Dr. David Thompson at the surgery in Southgate street.
He married Annie Baynes White, daughter of Launceston solicitor George Graham White at Launceston in 1898 and they set up home at North Hall, Dunheved road, Launceston. They had six children in total; Agnes Gordon b. 1900; Maithland Fullerton b. 1901; Charlotte Ellen b. 1903; Annie b. 1904 (who survived a plane crash in 1949); Winifred Mabyn b. 1906 and John.
He became the Medical officer for Launceston and served until his retirement from public life in June of 1941. In 1931 along with Dr. Galbraith he gave evidence at the Anne Hearn trial (seen below left heading for the trial).
the official opening of the new Launceston Hospital by Dr. Charles Gordon Gibson in August 1938.
Charles died in 1947 at the age of 82.
Just after Dr. Gibson’s retirement in 1941 he reminisced on his career in a ‘Cornish and Devon Post’ article.
Dr. C. G. Gibson, of Launceston, who recently retired after 50 year’s service in the town and district, after some persuasion agreed to our suggestion that he should recount some of his reminiscences and has written the following, which, we feel sure, will be read with interest by many who have been his patients during that long period, as well as by many others, relating as they do, to the days when conditions were very different to those obtaining at present, he says:
I came to Launceston in November 1891, and , as it happened on the evening of the Church Social, for I remember after my first meeting with Dr. David Thompson, at his home in Southgate Street, we walked down together to the Town Hall, where the social was in progress. The people seemed to be having a very enjoyable time, and no doubt hoping to put me at my ease the good doctor introduced me to some of my future patients. But the person who seemed most sympathetic and kindly disposed to the strange young doctor was Dr. Thompson’s own daughter, Mrs. Strong, a lady for whom I have ever retained a most sincere admiration and respect. She is the one remaining representitive of the Thompson’s in Launceston and in her are the same traits of character which made her father and brother such notable and respected townsmen, combined with a lively cheerfulness and geniality all her own.
In those early days the Guildhall was permitted to be fitted with a temporary stage and used for short plays and tableaux. These were often very good and could be thoroughly enjoyed, the Guildhall being well away from the talking and other noisy distractions of the main hall. There were valid reasons for reserving the Guildhall for its proper uses; but the loss to those social gatherings in the Town Hall is one which to my thinking has never been made good.
During my first year in Launceston, I lived with Dr. Thompson at Southgate. Though afflicted with deafness Mrs. Thompson, senior, was a most charming and friendly old lady as I knew her in those days. Oft times it was a pleasant sight to see the big doctor, after work was over for the day, settle down for a game with the little lady; cribbage was their favourite, as her deafness did not matter.
ATTACK OF INFLUENZA.
Only a very few weeks after my arrival influenza became prevalent and one day after a long ride, I ached all over and at first put this down to the unaccustomed exercise; but it was influenza which confined me to bed for the best part of a week. Knowing that patients were getting numerous I then got back to work, but I went down again with a relapse, and poor Mrs. Thompson had me on her hands for another week. I believe they thought they had got hold od a very delicate assistant! Yes, I had influenza “good and proper” at that awkward and annoying time just when I wanted to make a good impression; but since then I have been practically immune!
CATTLE MARKET IN STREETS.
On the Tuesday after my arrival I had my first experience of a St. Leonard’s Fair and what in those days it meant to the town in general, and to the doctors in particular. For the town it meant the busiest day of the year and one of the dirtiest, in those days cattle markets were only held on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays in each month, and quite often enough it seemed to me, for the market was held in the streets, which in consequence were crowded with cattle for some hours and thereafter were exceedingly filthy till the scavengers could get to work.
PAY DAY DINNERS.
But St. Leonard’s was not only a specially large market, it was also the great annual pay day, when the farming community, having completed the harvest, were perhaps best able to pay their debts. Anyway they were encouraged to do so, for all the prominent firms in the town, including the doctors and veterinary surgeons gave a dinner to those of their country clients who settled their accounts that day. This friendly old custom, savouring of simpler and more leisurely times, was already beginning to disappear with the adoption of more businesslike methods of rendering accounts. The next St. Leonard’s Fair (1892) was I think, the last occasion on which we doctors gave a dinner. It involved hiring a large room known as the Western Room, the purchase and cooking of large rounds of beef, vegetables, currant and suet puddings or fare of that sort, the laying out of long trestle tables with cloths, cutlery and dishes. All this threw a great deal of labour and anxiety upon the doctors wives and their attendants before, during, and after the dinner. The doctors had, perhaps, an easier time at the receipt of custom, seated at as small table which blocked entry to the dining tables until the account was produced and settled. A good deal of cash was this raked in. Quite satisfactory all that, no doubt, and often amusing, for many were the little jokes and sayings which were bandied about, but somehow hardly professional and certainly unbusiness-like, I know it was a great relief to the ladies when the dinner was given up. It may have been in part due to reasons of health, but according to my recollection it was rather from his very strict ideas of what was right and proper that Dr. David Thompson would very seldom accept any refreshment when paying a round of calls, even when he had been much delayed. Much as I respected and learned from my senior partner, I could not follow out his spartan resolution in this matter. I look back with the liveliest pleasure and gratitude to very many delightful, welcome and heartening tea meals provided for me so willingly in hall, villa, farmhouse, and cottage throughout this most hospitable district, when I found it impossible to get home in time for tea. Rising like a giant refreshed from such a meal, whether at home or from the table of a friendly patient. I was for many years good for another six hours of work without a break and my country patients were well aware they were not to give me up before 10 p.m. If they were expecting me. It was not till the period of the last Great War, however, that my rounds often ended at such late hours.
TOLL-GATES.
It was rather the contrast between the conditions of life and practice from forty to fifty years ago and now which may be of some little interest to others. One great contrast lies in the difference between the roads and means of locomotion. When a boy I just remember toll-gates on the main roads out of Edinburgh, my native city, but long before 1891 these hindrances to through traffic along the roads had been abolished. Several of the old toll-gate houses, however, in this district are still inhabited and recognisable as such from their site, shape, and the remains of gate fittings, etc. others are derelict or so greatly altered as only to be recognised from “gate” appearing in the names of the village, as for example Petherwin Gate. The house still known as Dutson Gate, is I think, the best example in this district.
ROUGH TRAVELLING.
Now imagine starting off on a country round fifty years ago in dog-cart with iron tyres. The rain is pouring down so one is wrapping up in a thick water-proof coat with cape. If you have a driver he flings back the waterproof rug and you get seated as quickly as possible, knowing that every stop more rain water will be exploring the weak spots in your defences. At every house your wet garments must be taken off and put on again, and you will be lucky if the rain has not penetrated to your skin somewhere about your sit-upon regions by the time you get home. You are bound for Broadwood, say, and you find the roadmen have just spread a patch of loose road metal over which you jolt at a slow pace. Once through the patch and with a crack of the whip your horse gets back to his jog-trot of about 8 miles an hour. Ahead of you, you soon see another patch of loose metal, but notice with satisfaction that a good many vehicles have been over it before you. Thankfully you get through this patch using the rolled in wheel-tracks they have made, but that stroke of luck is not repeated. Again you see a patch ahead and a roadman at work on it, so you know what to expect. He has carefully raked any loose stones over the smooth tracks, so you jolt and rattle worse than ever and give the man a nod with something between a grin and a scowl.
ADVENT OF STEAM ROLLERS.
In those good old days that is how stones were rolled in; but things were beginning to improve and steamrollers were coming into use. The roads then became really good for cycles and following their lead, traps were fitted with rubber tyres. This resulted in a grateful reduction of wear and tear all round, and not least to one’s nervous system.
LIGHTS COMPULSORY.
About the same time I remember the Order coming into force which made it compulsory for all vehicles to have front and rear lights. Long before that, of course, most careful drivers had lights after dark, but in the said good and slightly older days Dr. Thompson told me it was more exciting than safe to be jogging back to town on a Saturday evening if some of the farmers who had been making-merry in town, decided to finish up racing each other home in the dark and without lights!
THE “NAUGHTY NINETIES.
In the so called “naughty nineties,” the price of whisky and gin had not soared to the stratosphere as now in these unhappy days, but in spite of all temptations to indulge in deep potations I found the generality of farmers in the district as sensible and sober-minded a set of hard working men as were to be found anywhere.
SOME NEAR SQUEAKS.
It was a snowstorm plus some unlighted traps homeward bound from market which gave me a passable sample of former conditions. No other horse being available to get me out to Egloskerry in answer to an urgent call, Mrs. William Thompson kindly offered to drive me out, taking a particularly well bred mare which was her own special pride and possession and which she quite rightly did not care to trust me to drive, knowing I was without experience. As we started home it came on to snow heavily, and, being handicapped with spectacles, my driver got bewildered after one or two near squeaks with market traps, and finally asked me to drive for her, so we changed seats. Well, we got home safely without a scratch and my stock was up, but I refuse to tell how many times I passed a trap on the wrong side!
Bar getting excessively cold hands, which gave me almost unbearable pain, I could always enjoy the novelty and excitement of the many road incidents and accidents that have come my way. At first it was not for nothing that I was known as the gentleman who was unaccustomed to horse exercise, but I never received any serious hurt and have every reason to be thankful for the good health which has enabled me to carry on for so many years.
RETIREMENT.
Latterly, though I have not felt the slightest loss of interest in my patients or their troubles; I had begun to feel too much a slave of the “red lamp,” the old time sign of a doctor’s house, which began to take on rather the shape of a red cross. Man shall not live by bread alone, and I have indeed longed for some rest, and freedom from the responsibility and anxieties inseparable from a doctor’s life if he is to give his best. I hope my patients realise that during the last fifty years there have been far more alterations and additions to medical and surgical science than have taken place on our roads and to our means of locomotion. It has been my endeavour to keep abreast of, and profit by all those advances, which, unlike tarred roads and motor cars, have been life saving. They will then not doubt that the labour has been great. I retired at the end of June on medical advice and readers of the “Cornish and Devon Post” will know of the extra-ordinarily kind and generous expressions of appreciation I have received from the Management and Staff of our very valuable Hospital. I have been offered space in this paper for a few memories of my earlier days in Launceston. How far these prove acceptable ass of local interest, I know not, but if this enterprising recorder of all local events will but give me space to express my heart felt thanks and trust form my ministrations as a doctor in Launceston town and district have called forth, I shall be grateful. In all sincerity and reverence may I pray that God bless you all.

Eve Ainsworth
School should be a safe place for Jess, but at the moment it's everything she dreads. Jess's life is difficult enough without Kez picking on her. Kez's life isn't any sweeter. She has plenty of problems too but she finds comfort in knowing she is better off than Jess - or so she thinks... Told from the point of view of the bullied and the bully, this is a taut, powerful story of two girls locked in battle with each other and themselves, spiralling towards a shocking conclusion.
Virginia Bergin
One minute sixteen-year-old Ruby Morris is having her first proper snog with Caspar McCloud in a hot tub, and the next she’s being bundled inside the house, dripping wet, cold and in her underwear. Not cool. As she and Caspar shiver in the kitchen, it starts to rain. They turn on the radio to hear panicked voices – ‘It’s in the rain . . . it’s in the rain . . . ' That was two weeks ago, and now Ruby is totally alone. People weren’t prepared for the rain, got caught out in it, didn’t realize that you couldn’t drink water from the taps either. Even a drip of rain would infect your blood, and eat you from the inside out. Ruby knows she has to get to London to find her dad, but she just doesn’t know where to start.
Under My Skin
Meet Molly Sue. Once she's under your skin there's no getting rid of her...Seventeen-year-old Sally Feathers is not exactly a rebel. Her super-conservative parents and her treatment at the hands of high school bullies means that Sally's about as shy and retiring as they come - but all that's about to change. Accidentally ending up in the seedier side of town one day, Sally finds herself mysteriously lured to an almost-hidden tattoo parlour. Sally selects sexy pin-up Molly Sue, and has her tattooed on her back - hoping that Molly Sue will inspire her to be as confident and popular as she is in her dreams. But things quickly take a nightmareish turn.
Kim Slater
There's been a murder, but the police don't care. It was only a homeless old man after all. Kieran cares. He's made a promise, and when you say something out loud, that means you're going to do it, for real. He's going to find out what really happened. To Colin. And to his grandma, who just stopped coming round one day. It's a good job Kieran's a master of observation, and knows all the detective tricks of the trade. But being a detective is difficult when you're Kieran Woods. When you're amazing at drawing but terrible at fitting in. And when there are dangerous secrets everywhere, not just outside, but under your own roof.
Echo Boy
Audrey’s father taught her that to stay human in the modern world, she had to build a moat around herself; a moat of books and music, philosophy and dreams. A moat that makes Audrey different from the echoes: sophisticated, emotionless machines, built to resemble humans and to work for human masters. Daniel is an echo – but he’s not like the others. He feels a connection with Audrey; a feeling Daniel knows he was never designed to have, and cannot explain. And when Audrey is placed in terrible danger, he’s determined to save her.
Devil You Know
Cathy MacPhail
Forced to move away from his dad in Aberdeen to a run-down Glasgow council estate, Logan thinks he's pretty lucky to have made any friends -- let alone Baz and the boys. Baz might have a bit of reputation, be a bit mouthy, but he's the kind of friend who'll stick up for you; who'll make life interesting -- or should that be dangerous? When Logan, Baz and the boys get caught up a local turf war Baz is the first to fight back. But the aftermath leads Logan and his friends deeper into a world of real-life gangs, threats and lethal revenge. How far will Baz go, and will Logan follow him?

Dont Ask Dont Tell
Since the “Dont Ask, Dont Tell” policy went into effect on February
28, 1994, the situation has not improved for gays in the military. By
some accounts, the rate of discharge of servicemembers based on
homosexuality has remained steady at about 0.04 percent of total
military personnel. Others argue that this figure has actually risen
overall since the implementation of the new policy. For example,
discharges from the Air Force for homosexuality increased in the
period of 1992 to 1994 from 111 to 180 dismissals.
According to President Clintons July 19, 1993, announcement
of what he called the “Dont Ask, Dont Tell, Dont Pursue” policy,
servicemembers were to now be judged based on their conduct, rather
than their sexual orientation. Questions about sexual orientation were
to be removed from written forms, such as those needed for enlistment
procedures. Servicemembers were even supposed to be allowed to say
that they were homosexual, if they could prove that they would not
engage in prohibited conduct. Under the Uniform Code of Military
Justice, prohibited conduct includes sodomy, which is defined as
“unnatural” sexual acts.
The policy, in and of itself, is problematic in that lesbian
and gay servicemembers are expected to either lie about their sexual
orientation or lie about their desire to actually sleep with someone
of the same sex. The policy can be can and has been interpreted differently by different people. Under the terms of “Dont Ask, Dont Tell,” lesbians and gays could theoretically join the military — as long as they took a vow of celibacy. Given the notorious sexual habits of US military personnel, it is jarringly inconsistent that the military would be so prudish about the sex lives of certain soldiers.
However, this is not the way the policy has actually been
carried out under the auspices of the Department of Defense. Memos
drafted in June and November of 1994 by the Navy and the Air Force
indicate that the military probably never intended to follow the
“Dont Ask, Dont Tell” policy. Officials in these memos explicitly
direct commanders to disobey the policy by continuing the practices of
open-ended witch-hunts of suspected homosexual soldiers, questioning
the “parents, siblings, and close friends” of suspected individuals,
and invasive snooping into the private lives of servicemembers. This
directive has probably exacerbated the problem of homophobia in the
military, by allowing commanding officers to feel smug in the
knowledge that they have the approval of their superiors in
intentionally flouting the new policy. Below are a few incidents that
have occurred since the new policy was implemented:
In Florida, a recruiter asked one recruit five times if she was
homosexual, both verbally and on outdated written forms. To a sailor,
a chief-of-boat demanded, “Youre not going to tell me youre a
fucking faggot, are you” A security clearance investigator in
Washington, DC told a servicemember, “Im not going to ask you if
youre homosexual, but if I did ask, how would you respond” Although
a Marine based in Okinawa, Japan was never formally charged with being
in a homosexual ring, he was stripped of his security clearance and
transferred to another base because of such accusations. To
investigate the sexual orientation of an Air Force doctor, an official
called his mother for information about her son. Investigators asked
25 individual soldiers in North Carolina to speculate about the
sexuality of a fellow Marine. A sailor pilfered the personal desk of
his roommate and turned in the private letters that he found. His
roommate was subsequently discharged for being a homosexual. During
private counseling sessions with a Naval psychologist, a South
Carolina corporal asked questions about homosexuality and questioned
his own sexual feelings. Consequently, the psychologist turned the
corporal over for court martial.
The Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN), the only
group monitoring the militarys success in implementing “Dont Ask,
Dont Tell” recorded 340 separate violations of the policy in its
first year. As with before the new policy began, those servicemembers
suspected of being lesbian or gay are usually harassed and often
receive death threats. These victims generally do not turn to their
commanding officers for protection, because they fear getting
discharged. Lesbians are picked out for dismissal at a
disproportionate rate, compared to their actual population in the
armed services, representing 25% of all cases handled by SLDN. And
most significantly, as if to demonstrate their commitment to “Dont
Ask, Dont Tell,” the Pentagon has not disciplined even one official
who has flouted the policy.

MUTEK MX Recommends – October 22-27
Sougwen Chung and Refik Anadol nominated for the 2019 Lumen Prize. Un rêve launches his record on vinyl.
In MUTEK MX Recommends, you’ll find all the news, up-and-coming activities, and pieces from the artistic community that make our festival one of the most exciting experiences of the year.
This is what’s happening October 22 through 27th on the path to MUTEK MX Edition 16:
> Sougwen Chung and Refik Anadol: MUTEK MX talent nominated for the 2019 Lumen Prize
Two of the artists from Edition 16 who show the creative possibilities of machines and artificial intelligence, Sougwen Chung and Refik Anadol, may receive the 2019 Lumen Prize in their respective categories; the winners will be announced this Thursday, October 24th, at the Barbican Centre in London, and from MUTEK MX, we would bet on both taking the prize.
Last week Refik Anadol received the Lorenzo il Magnifico award at the Florence Biennial in recognition of his trajectory, and mega-installation Machine Hallucinations in ARTECHOUSE in NY continues receiving praise in the press. Refik is nominated in the Moving Image category for his installation Melting Memories, the very same work that forms part of the immersive experience of Nocturne 1 and 2 in Edition 16. The artists Cassie McQuarter, Anouk Kruithof, Clea T. Waite, Nicolas Sassoon, Ruini Shi, Patxi Araujo and Leonhard Müllner & Robin Klengel are also nominated in this category.
Sougwen Chung, for her part, and her piece Drawing Operations, compete in the category Still Image, which combines a variety of visuales pieces resulting from a process or performance linked with technology or digital tools. This year Sougwen has been part of the creative direction of vanguard festivals such as Grey Area Festival and Alpha-ville, while her processes of experimentation in fine arts, robotics, AI, and performance have continued to inspire in her participation in the 2019 Simposium of AI Now Institute and TED Mumbai. She received one of her most recept awards just days ago in Monaco, Italy, where she was named the Woman of the Year in the category of Art and Science 2019. The artists Stefan Gant, Nye Thompson, Max Colson, Eric Fong and Bang Geul Han are also nominated in the Still Image category. Sougwen will be presented in Nocturne 2.
The Lumen Prize, which has been awarded since 2012, is one of the most globally important recognitions of artists working at the meeting point of art and technology. In this year’s panel of judges are representatives of institutions such as Tate Modern, China’s Central Academy of Fine Arts, and Goldsmith’s University.
> Un rêve’s new record now available on vinyl
Just one week before announcing Diego Vázquez aka Un rêve as part of the Third Wave of Artists of Edition 16, the vinyl version of Como árboles al cielo… encuentro (OTONO, VAA, Gravy Records, 2019), his new record, was presented as a special session in Teatro Lúcido, which also included an artist talk. Como árboles al cielo… encuentro marks a significant moment in the trajectory of Un rêve, mastered by Taylor Deupree, who has worked with musicians who have strongly influenced Diego’s work, from William Basinski to Ryuichi Sakamoto. We will be able to hear Como árboles al cielo… encuentro live in its entirety en Edition 16, and you will also be able to find the record in the racks of Fhauna during Nocturne 1 and 2.
> Techno ready to burn: new track by Deadbeat with T.Raumschmiere.
After launching the beautiful and delicate Trinity Thirty (Constellation, 2019), a tribute to the band Cowboy Junkies with the artist and singer Fatima Camara, Deadbeat has fully immersed himself in a reintroduction with techno and beats ready for the club. There are the tracks from Jacks and slow dances EP (Visionquest Music, 2019) and, now, a new track with T.Raumschmiere for the compilation SOUVENIR#100 on Souvenir Music. The track “Masters of Disaster”, the name that T.Raumschimere and Deadbeat have also signed to a couple of releases, strongly marks the hard rhythms that Deadbeat will bring to the floor of Nocturne 2 this Edition 16.
If you haven’t heard Trinity Thirty we definitely recommend it: it’s Deadbeat’s smoothest and most pop side, exploring downtempo, dreambeats, and for the first time… singing. It’s a gem.

#SupportIndieFilm
The 5Ws and How: ROWS
I hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween and watched some spooky movies. Today we’re glad to put the spotlight on an indie horror film, ROWS from writer/director David W. Warfield. We talked with him about the movie.
ROWS is a micro-budget feature. Genre-wise, it’s thriller/horror, but it’s more art house than grind house, and mostly psychological in its impact. The cast includes Hannah Bernal (nee Schick) as Rose, Lauren Lakis as Greta, Kenneth Hughes as Mark, and Joe Basile as Jack. No “names” here, but all have done a lot of work in front of and behind the camera, and came from LA to work on the film.
I was able to pull in a few veteran filmmakers to put in key positions: Keith Weiner has a history of being a key grip on major features, and is now a lawyer, so that is a great resume for a hands-on producer. My long-time colleague Scott Chestnut is a film editor and director, but he wanted to do cinematography on this shoot. He is talented in this area as well, and always knows more than anyone in the room tech-wise. Whatever you think of the film, you must agree that it is shot beautifully. Veteran composer James Guymon provided us a million dollar score. The other senior member of the crew was our location sound person, Bernie Ozol. Julie Bent is an up-and-coming production design and wardrobe person, and Andrew Vona was our tenacious lead editor. We rounded out the crew with young filmmakers in various positions, as well as a handful of college grad interns.
The story is about a young woman (Rose) who, while working for her developer father, must deliver an eviction notice to an old farmhouse where a strange woman — a squatter — has been living. The house is to be bulldozed to make way for Rose’s dad’s new subdivision. The strange woman puts Rose under a substance-induced spell, which propels Rose — and the viewer — into an enchantment where time and the laws of physics seem turned upside down. Rose must find the inner fortitude to break the spell and save her father from the strange woman — who we might call a witch.
We agreed early on to use the Canon 5D DSLR to shoot this film. We employed accessories such as rental prime lenses, follow focus rigs, and a steadi-cam. We also built a semi-permanent 60-foot platform with speed-rail dolly track, in the middle of a cornfield, to capture the various tracking shots the story required. We used a simple doorway dolly. Chestnut constructed a number of 4X8 foot bounce boards, which were excellent for creating fill in day exteriors. Because a mature cornfield has stalks 10 or 12 feet high, it is basically a limbo environment—so we could do a lot of cheating with the extensive cornfield scenes. Our shooting schedule, including pick-ups, was 17 days. Audio post was conducted at Studio Unknown, an excellent full-service audio post house in Baltimore.
The film was shot in Maryland, outside of Baltimore.
ROWS was released in 2016.
As someone who worked in Hollywood for a bunch of years, It is incredibly liberating to make a film without the burdens of the conventional development, financing, and studio negotiating processes. The downside of micro-budget filmmaking is, well, micro-budgets. Filmmakers working in this way know that a successful micro-budget script must be designed for a very low-cash production. Multiple locations, large casts with numerous wardrobe changes, working with lots of vehicles, and unionized shoots are a few of the elements that micro-budgets generally do not allow. In that regard, a story must be conceived that can work logistically.
I have an artist’s mentality, which to me means that I derive fulfillment from creating things. Films are one of the things I love to create. Paintings are another. While I am great at organizing and planning and logistics, I would be a very crappy business person, and a worse accountant. I made this film because I saw an opportunity to pull together the necessary resources, human and otherwise, and because it is what I love doing. I guess they call that passion.
While the old barriers to distribution have been knocked down by streaming, the process is still complex and demanding. I opted to go with Nelson-Madison Films/Indie Rights for streaming distribution. While I have experience with theatrical distribution, in my judgment the smartest play was to work with Indie Rights to facilitate the deals with Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, and the other meaningful platforms. The jury is still out on the “box office” performance of ROWS. Thus far I give Indie Rights good grades, and their extensive network and experience is very helpful. But the thing to know about distribution at this level is that the filmmakers could work 24/7 for months or years in promoting the film via social media. If you don’t have the budget to hire social media marketing staff, you have to do it yourself, and there are only so many hours in a day.
ROWS is kind of a weird film, and those who are expecting traditional horror tropes will probably be disappointed. Those who are open to the oddball construction of the film, and don’t have pre-conceived notions, are likely to dig it. In any case, I can say that this was the most gratifying and fulfilling filmmaking experience I have had, and I look forward very much to our next micro-budget endeavor.

Anecdotal information and case reports suggest that intravenously administered vitamin C is used by Complementary and Alternate Medicine (CAM) practitioners. The scale of such use in the U.S. and associated side effects are unknown.
METHODS AND FINDINGS:
We surveyed attendees at annual CAM Conferences in 2006 and 2008, and determined sales of intravenous vitamin C by major U.S. manufacturers/distributors. We also queried practitioners for side effects, compiled published cases, and analyzed FDA's Adverse Events Database. Of 199 survey respondents (out of 550), 172 practitioners administered IV vitamin C to 11,233 patients in 2006 and 8876 patients in 2008. Average dose was 28 grams every 4 days, with 22 total treatments per patient. Estimated yearly doses used (as 25 g/50 ml vials) were 318,539 in 2006 and 354,647 in 2008. Manufacturers' yearly sales were 750,000 and 855,000 vials, respectively. Common reasons for treatment included infection, cancer, and fatigue. Of 9,328 patients for whom data is available, 101 had side effects, mostly minor, including lethargy/fatigue in 59 patients, change in mental status in 21 patients and vein irritation/phlebitis in 6 patients. Publications documented serious adverse events, including 2 deaths in patients known to be at risk for IV vitamin C. Due to confounding causes, the FDA Adverse Events Database was uninformative. Total numbers of patients treated in the US with high dose vitamin C cannot be accurately estimated from this study.
High dose IV vitamin C is in unexpectedly wide use by CAM practitioners. Other than the known complications of IV vitamin C in those with renal impairment or glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, high dose intravenous vitamin C appears to be remarkably safe. Physicians should inquire about IV vitamin C use in patients with cancer, chronic, untreatable, or intractable conditions and be observant of unexpected harm, drug interactions, or benefit.

Inside Game Sales: July NPD Retail Report
Summer is a time for BBQ’s and beaches. The weather is good and people tend to enjoy it. Not surprisingly, as a result, it’s a slower period for indoor entertainment products like video games. Still, “slower” is a relative term. According to newly released NPD sales data for July, even in a month of measured expectations, the industry delivered double digit year over year growth.
For the month of July, the US gaming industry rose 28% over last year in total sales with revenue of $1.19b for the month. Software was up the most with a 41% year over year gain. Hardware and accessories were up 17% and 19% respectively.
There weren’t many surprises for the month. In the top hardware list, the ranking was unchanged from June’s result. Nintendo led in both the console and portable categories. 555k Wii’s and 608k DS units were sold. No other product came close. The number three slot was held by the PS3 with 224k units. The Xbox 360, which didn’t get much benefit from the late in the month price adjustment, finished 5th with 204,800 units.
In software, the Xbox version of EA’s NCAA Football 2009 grabbed the number one slot sneaking out a narrow28k unit victory over the still strong Wii Fit. Guitar Hero on Tour finished a close third. NCAA Football for the PS3 finished 5th. Of the top ten titles, four were for the Wii, three for the Xbox 360, two for the PS3 and one for the DS. June’s top finisher, Konami’s Metal Gear Solid (PS3)didn’t grab a slot in the top ten for its second month.
As has been the case in the past, each of the three console makers responded to the data with their own spin:
Nintendo: Nintendo affirmed their current dominance by pointing out that Wii sales represented a 49% share of total consoles and the DS accounted for 73% of handhelds. They also noted that five of the top ten software titles were for their platforms (4 Wii, 1 DS). Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo America’s VP of sales and marketing characterized the performance by saying simply “Great hardware goes hand-in-hand with great software.”
Sony: Sony stuck with its stock line in characterizing the result and touted their ongoing “momentum” for the PS3. They also spoke of resilience for the older PS2. Sony’s PR staff pointed out the 1.8m units sold so far in 2008 (in the US market) is a 99% year over year gain. They also said more than 42.5m PS2 consoles have been sold life time. "Our year-to-date sales growth of 99 per cent for the PS3 reaffirms that consumers are indeed embracing PS3 as their entertainment hub-of-choice with its feature-rich offerings like Blu-ray and our recently announced video delivery service," Jack Tretton, president and CEO of SCEA said in a statement.
Microsoft: Microsoft’s response focused on their lifetime sales and software sales. They noted in their response that, since launch, consumers have spent over $10.4 billion on the Xbox 360 in the US. That gives the platform a 49% market share. Additionally, the Xbox 360 platform accounted for $129m in July software sales, a 34% share. The console, Microsoft also said, has an attach rate of 7.9 games, the highest rate for any console at this stage in its lifecycle.
Here’s the rest of the July results, by the numbers:

The Controversy Over The Legacy Highway In Utah: An Opportunity For Invitational Rhetoric, Carlo A. Pedrioli
Beginning in the mid 1990s, residents of Utah began to debate the merits of the “Legacy Highway,” a large highway that would run near the Great Salt Lake in an attempt to alleviate the clogged commute on Interstate-15, which runs north/south through Salt Lake City, the state’s capital. Perhaps not surprisingly, environmental groups were upset with this proposed governmental project. Groups like the Advocates for Safe and Efficient Transportation and the Utah Department of Transportation faced off against the Sierra Club, Stop the Legacy Highway, and Utahns for Better Transportation. Generous amounts of rhetoric, including public discussion and ...
Truth, Deterrence, And The Impeachment Exception , James L. Kainen Jan 2007
Truth, Deterrence, And The Impeachment Exception , James L. Kainen
James v. Illinois permits illegally-obtained evidence to impeach defendants, but not defense witnesses. Thus far, all courts have construed James to allow impeachment of defendants' hearsay declarations. This article argues against allowing illegally-obtained evidence to impeach defendants' hearsay declarations because doing so unduly diminishes the exclusionary rule's deterrent effect. The distinction between impeaching defendants and defense witnesses disappears when courts allow prosecutors to impeach defendants' hearsay declarations. Because defense witnesses report exculpatory conduct of a defendant who always has a substantial interest in disguising his criminality, their testimony routinely incorporates defendant hearsay. Defense witness testimony thus routinely paves the ...

Gambling, Commodity Speculation, And The 'Victorian Compromise', Joshua C. Tate
This Essay examines two major strands of nineteenth-century jurisprudence related to gambling: Southern cases defining public and private space for the purpose of state gambling statutes, and Northern cases applying the intent to deliver test to speculative contracts. The Essay argues that both lines of cases reflect what Lawrence Friedman has termed the Victorian compromise: A strong official stance against immoral behavior is conjoined with de facto acceptance of many questionable practices, provided that they are conducted in a manner acceptable to the elite. The Essay concludes that nineteenth-century judges sought to preserve the semblance of a strict prohibition against ...

Tax Reforms Unraveling, Michael J. Graetz
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 was widely heralded as the most significant change in our nation’s tax law since the income tax was extended to the masses during World War II. It was the crowning domestic policy achievement of President Ronald Reagan, who proclaimed it “the best antipoverty measure, the best pro-family measure and the best job-creation measure ever to come out of the Congress of the United States” (Reagan, 1986). This journal published a symposium on the Tax Reform Act in its first issue. The law’s rate reductions and base broadening reforms were mimicked throughout the ...

A Brief History Of American Telecommunications Regulation, Tim Wu
While the history of governmental regulation of communication is at least as long as the history of censorship, the modern regulation of long-distance, or "tele," communications is relatively short and can be dated to the rise of the telegraph in the mid-19th century. The United States left the telegraph in private hands, unlike countries and as opposed to the U.S. postal system, and has done the same with most of the significant telecommunications facilities that have been developed since. The decision to allow private ownership of telecommunications infrastructure has led to a rather particularized regulation of these private owners ...

University of Western Australia genomics professor joins Young Researchers' Lunch
The Young Researchers' Lunch for January hosted David Edwards, professor in cereal genomics at the University of Western Australia. Dr. Edwards’ current research activities include the characterization of complex plant genomes, translational genomics, and genome informatics. He also worked briefly on rice genome structure in the Genetics Department of the University of Cambridge. Dr. Edwards visited IRRI as part of the IRRI-Australia Symposium during Science Week.
Dr. Edwards discussed his career path with the group. He emphasized the importance of being flexible in order to take advantage of opportunities that come up. Regarding research strategies, he encouraged the young researchers to stay focused, even if it means dropping a project that doesn't progress enough after a certain amount of time which, in bioinformatics, could mean 8-12 months.
Dr. Edwards also stressed the importance of having a supportive family.
Participants were Christine Jade Dilla-Ermita, Christian Cantos, Annalhea Jarana, Majid Mortazavi, Roven Fuentes, and Richard Garcia.
The Young Researchers Lunch is a monthly meeting for NRS and AFSTRI scientists who are in the early stages of their career. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for discussions with senior scientists on a range of topics including science and career paths.

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
You make me feel like I am whole again
You make me feel like I am young again
You make me feel like I am fun again
However far away
However long I stay
Whatever words I say
You make me feel like I am free again
You make me feel like I am clean again

Damon: You know what they are? Children. Like lighting a candle's going to make everything OK, or even saying a prayer. Or pretending Elena's not going to end up just like the rest of us murdering vampires. Stupid, delusional, exasperating little children. And I know what you're going to say: 'It makes them feel better, Damon.' So what? For how long? A minute, a day? What difference does it make? Because in the end, when you lose somebody, every candle, every prayer is not going to make up for the fact that the only thing you have left is hole in your life where that somebody that you cared about used to be. And a rock with a birthday carved into it that I'm pretty sure is wrong. So thanks, friend. Thanks for leaving me here to babysit. Because I should be long gone by now. I didn't get the girl, remember? I'm just stuck here fighting my brother and taking care of the kids. You owe me big.

Home >> Where to go >> Amman >> History & Culture
Amman's history spans nine millennia dating back to the Stone Age. It boasts one of the largest Neolithic settlements (c.6500 BC) ever discovered in the Middle East. The Citadel hill contains early Bronze Age tombs (3300-1200 BC).
By the beginning of the Iron Age Amman had become the capital of the Ammonites, referred to in the Bible, and was called Rabbath-Ammon. It was here that King David of Israel killed Uriah the Hittite. Fortress towers ringed the city at that time - the best preserved of these can still be seen today - but they were little protection against King David's attack. His forces toppled the Ammonites and, apart from a brief revival in the 9th and 8th centuries BC, the area was ruled in succession by the Assyrians, Babylonians and Persians for several hundred years. By the 4th century BC the city had been renamed "Philadelphia" after its Ptolemaic ruler, Philadelphus.
Seleucid and Nabataean rule followed until 63 BC, when it was absorbed into the Roman Empire and the Roman general, Pompey, annexed Syria and made Philadelphia part of the Decapolis League - an alliance of ten free city states with overall allegiance to Rome. The Romans rebuilt the city with colonnaded streets, baths, a theatre and impressive public buildings. Philadelphia found itself at the centre of the new Roman province of Arabia and of lucrative trade routes running between the Mediterranean and an interior that stretched to India and China as well as routes north and south. The city flourished.
During the Byzantine period, when Christianity became the official religion of the Eastern Roman Empire, the city was the seat of a Christian Bishop and two churches were constructed. By the early 7th century, Islam was already spreading northwards from the Arabian Peninsula and, by 635 AD, had embraced the land as part of its domain. The city returned to its original Semitic name of Ammon or, as it is known today, Amman.
With various shifts in political power over the following centuries, Amman's fortunes declined. During the Crusades and under the Mameluks of Egypt, Amman's importance was overtaken by the rise of Karak in the south. By 1321 AD, it was reported that Amman was "a very ancient town and was ruined before the days of Islam" there are great ruins here and the river al-Zarqa flows through them.”
Under the Ottoman Empire, Amman remained a small backwater with As-Salt being the main town of the area. By 1806, the city was reported to be uninhabited except for the Bedouins.
The departure of the Ottomans from the region coincided with the exodus of a large numbers of Circassian and other persecuted Muslims from the Caucasus. They found refuge in the area and established a settlement on the east bank of the Jordan River. Although they were mostly farmers, amongst these early settlers there were also gold and silversmiths and other craftsmen, and it wasn’t long before they built rough roads linking their settlement to Amman. Commerce, once again, began to flourish.

But it was the construction of the Hejaz Railway which really brought the city back to life. Linking Damascus with Medina, the railway passed through Amman in 1902. Once again, Amman became the centre of a busy trade route and its population began to grow. By 1905, the city held a mixed population of some 3000 people.
On May 5th,1923, the Emirate of Transjordan came into existence, with Emir Abdullah, a Hashemite and direct descendant of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), as its undisputed leader. On the March 22nd,1946, Transjordan secured its independence. Two months later, Abdullah’s title of Emir was changed to King, and the country was renamed the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, with Amman as its capital.
Over the ensuing decades the city has expanded and flourished to become a modern, lively, commercial metropolis of well over two million people. Excellent hotels and accommodation, gourmet restaurants, coffee shops, shopping centres, offices and luxury villas have replaced older dwellings. However, there is still much of the old city to be admired.
In addition to its numerous archaeological sites, Amman has many museums, art galleries and cultural centres, as well as theatres and cinemas.

5Q Poet Interview Series: Janet Wong
Our 5Q Poet Interview series for National Poetry Month continues with this interview with Janet Wong about her new book, Declaration of Interdependence: Poems for an Election Year. Graduate student Jessica Pollock offers this interview (plus) with Janet.
Janet Wong, the daughter of a Chinese father and Korean mother, was born in Los Angeles California in 1962. As a child Wong hated poetry and even saw reading in general as “too quiet and lonely." Wong attended UCLA and earned a B.A. in History; as part of that program she was able to study history abroad for a year in France at the Université de Bordeaux. She went on to attend Yale and obtained a law degree from that institution.
Upon graduation, Wong practiced corporate and labor law for the next four years. While browsing in a children’s bookstore she realized that she was not happy in her current line of work, and what she truly wanted to do was write for children in, ironically, her least favorite genre when she was young, poetry. Initially she received many rejection letters, but eighteen months after quitting her job as a lawyer she sold her first book of children’s poetry Good Luck Gold. Wong’s story about successfully switching careers became the subject of various articles and television programs, most chiefly an article featured in Oprah’s O magazine. To date Wong has written over twenty books and collections of poetry for which she has received numerous awards including the International Reading Association's "Celebrate Literacy Award" for exemplary service in the promotion of literacy.

SUMMARY OF DECLARATION OF INTERDEPENDENCE: POEMS FOR AN ELECTION YEAR
Janet Wong’s latest book Declaration of Interdependence: Poems for an Election Year was published in 2012. The inspiration for the book's poems which examine various aspects of the American political system was art by Julie Paschkis (Wong 1999). When Paschkis saw the damage that was being inflicted on people’s Civil Liberties, she was inspired to create postcards that illustrated the rights stated in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution. Proceeds from the sale of Paschkis's cards, dubbed Liberty Notes, benefit the ACLU. Wong herself admits to being “apolitical,” however after seeing Paschkis's art, she wanted to do something to further the effort. This book was her contribution. Like Paschkis, proceeds from the sale of her book are donated to causes that help instruct the public on political issues. Wong states that she hopes these poems inspire young people to “take the initiative to contribute."
REVIEW EXCERPT
This review excerpt comes from Julie Larios’ blog The Drift Record. Larios is a poet who teaches at the Vermont College of Fine Arts as part of their MFA-Writing for Children program. This excerpt, part of a larger post entitled “Poetry Friday: For a New Generation of Voters” was posted March 2, 2012:
“The book, perfect for classroom use (Teachers: Heads up!), contains twenty poems about "liberty, kids’ rights, free speech, political debates, unusual presidential candidates, the two-party system, voting, a declaration of interdependence, and a dozen writing prompts." To encourage classroom conversations about our electoral process (and we could use a new generation of pro-active voters who understand the need for civility and interdependence in that area, couldn't we?) Janet includes "A Voter's Journal" at the end of the book where kids from the youngest right up through young adults can jot down their thoughts about issues and candidates” (Larios 2012).
Jessica Pollock (JP)- from "We the People": Do you think a lot of teenagers see injustice and inequality in the voting system? If so why?
Janet Wong (JW)- When I was a teen, I remember resenting the way some adults treated me without respect, "like a baby" despite the fact that I was helping with dinner, paying bills and calling Medicare for my grandparents, and working for my parents' business on Saturdays and during vacations. I think I would've voted carefully and responsibly-- more carefully than so many of those people who make a lot of negative noise but don't seem particularly informed. I would love it if teens all across the country signed their relatives up for absentee ballots and sat down as families to hold informal mini-caucuses and vote together!
JP- from "Seed Speech": There appears to be a diminished desire among young people in our country to make a difference in life, and fight for issues they believe in. Why do you think this has happened?
JW- I think we have to look pre-Obama, mid-Obama (campaign), and post-election to talk about that question. Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner wrote an excellent pre-Obama book called THE F-WORD: FEMINISM IN JEOPARDY that examined reasons why young women seemed not to care about politics. But then, happily, things changed: tons of young voters suddenly became excited about civic involvement during the peak of the Obama campaign. Now I think we're back to pre-Obama apathy among young voters. I remember opinion-makers saying in 2008 that they pitied whoever would be elected because that person was going to face a lot of disillusionment in the general population. Hopefully young voters will rise to the occasion this year and rediscover the need for passionate discussion of our many important issues.
JP- from "Occupy the TV": Because some parents are not involved in the political process, and do not give credence to their children's ideas when they express political opinions, will this make their children more determined to become involved in politics or make them less caring adults?
JW- Kids' political views are shaped by their parents, especially when they are under 15. But I think that older teens become politically active because of their school environment and friends rather than their parents' opinions (true of everything, from clothes to extracurricular activities). This is why it's so important to get these young voters thinking and talking about the election--when they're sitting, as a captive audience, in the classroom!
JP- Your poems address serious issues in a humorous fashion. Why do you feel that humor is a good approach when you are trying discuss serious issues with a younger audience?
JW- Not just with a younger audience, but with all of us--I think that humor and politics just go together. (Some things are so sad or preposterous that all you can do is laugh.) My favorite political commentators are Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert!
JP- What is one topic you would like to write about in the future?
JW- Right now I'm finishing up an e-book called FOUR POUNDS OF TRASH: FOUND POEMS. Writing about pressing issues-- whether the election or endangered animals or putting our trash on a diet-- makes me feel like I'm doing my small part to make this a better world.
FAVORITE POEM
"Seed Speech"
By Janet Wong
If you think
as tiny seeds
that take root
and hold
this earth together
then you see
why it matters for us
to scatter even our smallest
thoughts out there,
to make our voices
There are no stupid questions.
And, yes:
there might be simple answers.
The birds are chirping:
more seeds,
more seeds!
WAYS TO SHARE "SEED SPEECH"
• In a library setting a display table would be created showcasing both Julie Paschkis art and Janet Wong’s book. The poem "Seed Speech" would be enlarged and exhibited, perhaps on the wall in poster form behind the display. Along with the poem and Paschkis art would be other items complete with captions describing what they are and their history with regards to American politics. Such items could be a copy of the Bill of Rights, a facsimile of Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, and models of the Stature of Liberty or Liberty Bell.
• A project, perhaps for a Civics or History class, evolving over several weeks would commence around John F. Kennedy’s January 20th 1961 Inaugural address. This speech includes the famous line “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Each student would be asked what they could do to help improve the country. The students would bring in newspaper clippings, Internet photos or videos or other media that coincided with their chosen topic. The goal of the project would be to encourage the students to “make our voices heard” as Wong states in "Seed Speech."
• An assignment for older students in a History or Social Studies class would be to examine a newspaper for any stories relating to politics or rights and freedoms. They would then scan those articles for words they found significant, as the poem says, words “that take root and hold this earth together.” Afterwards the class would discuss the findings and what they mean in the context of Wong’s poem and the world today.
• A semester, or perhaps yearlong project for older students with relation to History or Political Science courses, would involve students actually planting seeds in a garden. As the seeds grow, the teacher will discuss instances in which the United States expanded its rights and freedoms. Course topics would include, the emancipation of the slaves, the 1st and 19th Amendments, Freedom of Speech and women’s right to vote, the desegregation of buses and schools during the Civil Rights Movement concluding with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The students would be asked what changes they feel would be beneficial to the country today, and what rights or freedoms should be added or changed and why. At the end of the year the plants would grow into food, which served a useful purpose, just as all the rights and freedoms discussed had.

Shadow Mountain HS: a recruiting pipeline for GCU hoops
Art Preuss
– December 19, 2019Posted in: High School
Arizona’s four D-I colleges make a concerted effort to spread their recruiting nets over local high schools, hoping to find a hidden gem right in their own backyard.
Grand Canyon University‘s head basketball coach, Dan Majerle, has apparently found fertile ground in the talent-rich backyard of Shadow Mountain High School. The relatively small school of about 1,400 students in northeast Phoenix has won the last four 4A state titles and five of the last six, so it’s not surprising that Majerle and his staff have kept a close watch on the basketball program there.
As far as we know, and there are no statistics to prove it, GCU may have set some kind of record at a recent game against Purdue Fort Wayne when Majerle started three players from the same school.
The trio from Shadow Mountain includes senior Carlos Johnson, redshirt junior J.J. Rhymes, and freshman Jovan Blacksher, Jr.
Blacksher, a 6-0 point guard that is cut from the mold of a classic playmaker at that position, won three state championships while at Shadow Mountain, playing under former NBA player, Mike Bibby. Johnson (pictured above), a 6-3 guard, won a state title his sophomore year before finishing his last two years of high school in California and Nevada. And Rhymes, a 6-4, 205-pound wing, got to play on a championship team before leaving to play at Hutchinson (Kansas) Community College, where he led that team to a JUCO national championship.
Rhymes’ role with the three musketeers has ended abruptly, thanks to a hip injury that will sideline him for the remainder of the season. The ‘Lopes are on a three-game losing streak and can ill afford more injuries. However, it should be noted that their opponents during those three games have a combined record of 33-3.
Majerle, who’s in his seventh season running the program, has won 20 or more games each of the last four seasons, but the ‘Lopes are off to an uncharacteristic 4-9 start to the 2019-20 season.
GCU is working its way through a very challenging non-conference schedule, which Majerle sets up each season to test his teams early. However, this year he is working with a roster decimated by injuries, transfers, and eligibility issues – which has left him with the thinnest bench since he took over the program.
NCAA transfer rules forced Johnson to sit out last season after transferring in from Washington, but he’s been a dependable starter this season. And Blacksher has joined him in the back court as the freshman is getting a truckload of playing time.
Rhymes has played in all but one game this season, averaging 5.4 points and 3.6 rebounds in 23 minutes a game.
The void left in the line-up will likely be filled by Mikey Dixon, a guard who transferred in from St. John’s last year and is now eligible to begin playing in games. And none too soon – the ‘Lopes begin WAC Conference play as soon as Christmas break ends.
Unfortunately, the recruiting well may be in jeopardy of drying up at Shadow Mountain. Bibby, who developed the talent GCU has been utilizing during his four years as Shadow Mountain’s coach, was relieved of his volunteer role after last season. The current team, under Curtis Millage, is off to a 7-2 start.

The Supreme Court is Even More Politicized than You Think
by Professor Byron L. Warnken on April 2, 2012
THE SUPREME COURT HAS BECOME MORE POLITICIZED
When Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens retired from the Supreme Court in 2010, at age 90, there were no longer any justices on the Court from the pre-Reagan era. Justice Stevens was a liberal justice appointed to the Court by President Ford, a Republican. Two of the most liberal justices in history – Justice Earl Warren and Justice William Brennan – were appointed to the Court by President Eisenhower, a Republican. Appointments like those appointments do not happen today.
Beginning with President Reagan, and followed by President Bush (the elder), President Clinton, President Bush (the younger), and President Obama, all appointments to the Supreme Court have been (1) a member of the President’s party, (2) someone who thinks a lot like the President, (3) someone who is on the President’s side of the line, but not so far down that line so as to preclude confirmation, and (4) a young person, so as to get the longest tenure out of each appointment. I knew that I was getting old when I realized that the Chief Justice of the United States was in his second year of law school when I became a law professor.
Historically, the Supreme Court was viewed as the one branch of government that stood above the political fray. The Court is still considered to be more neutral than the legislative branch and more neutral than the executive branch, but, in the last three decades, any notion that the Court is completely neutral is gone.
A century ago, only about 3% of the Court’s decisions were 5-to-4 decisions. During the last three decades, that number has increased more than seven fold to 22%. In fact, it is speculated that the reason that Justice David Souter resigned from the Court was his disgust over how political the Court acted in Bush v. Gore.
The current Court breakdown is as follows:
Justice Antonin Scalia – appointed by President Reagan – conservative
Justice Anthony Kennedy – appointed by President Reagan – conservative, but balanced
Justice Clarence Thomas – appointed by President Bush (the elder) – conservative
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg – appointed by President Clinton – liberal
Justice Stephen Breyer – appointed by President Clinton – liberal
Chief Justice John Roberts – appointed by President Bush (the younger) – conservative
Justice Samuel Alito – appointed by President Bush (the younger) – conservative
Justice Sonya Sotomayor – appointed by President Obama – liberal
Justice Elana Kagan – appointed by President Obama – liberal
Justice Kennedy has become the Court. On many issues, when the other eight Justices are marching in lock step with the party that appointed them, Justice Kennedy can go be persuaded to go either way. Since 2005, Justice Kennedy has been in the majority in almost all 5-to-4 decisions. As goes Justice Kennedy, so goes the Court. That is why Supreme Court observer Jeffrey Toobin, Esq., predicted that the “individual mandate” in the Health Care Reform Act was in “grave danger,” after he heard the questions that Justice Kennedy asked of the advocates, as Justice Kennedy struggled with the confrontation between the Commerce Clause and the Tenth Amendment.
