Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site Tours
The Dachau Concentration Camp was the first of its kind opened in Germany by Adolf Hitler's Nazi government in 1933, and it served as a model for later concentration camps. Today, the camp is a memorial to the more than 32,000 people who died and the more than 200,000 who were imprisoned during the Nazi regime. The memorial was established as a site of memory and education in 1965, 20 years after Dachau was liberated by American troops.
The Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site is most often visited on half- or full-day trips from Munich. Visitors to the memorial site can expect to see the former compound (now an exhibition center), and learn about Europe in World War II, the Holocaust, and the role Dachau played in this important chapter in German history. Whether seen independently or on a guided private or small-group tour from Munich, the guard houses and administration buildings, reconstructed barracks, cells, and crematorium offer ample opportunity for reflection.
Visiting the Dachau memorial is an intense experience, and appropriate solemnity and respect are required on the grounds.
While it is free to visit the memorial, booking an audio guide or a group or private tour allows for added insight and context from a tour guide.
The site does not offer luggage storage.
Dachau is generally wheelchair accessible, although some of the grounds are unpaved and some buildings do not have dedicated wheelchair entrances. Wheelchairs can be borrowed upon arrival.
Some of the exhibits may not be appropriate for kids under 12; it's recommended that kids visit with an adult.
Dachau is set just 17 miles (28 kilometers) northwest of Munich. By public transportation, take the S2 train from Munich's Central Station for about 25 minutes to Dachau. Get off at Dachau station (Dachau Bahnhof) to hop on bus 726 toward Saubachsiedlung and get off at KZ-Gedenkstätte, the entrance of the memorial site. Parking fees apply from March to October.
The camp is open daily from 9am to 5pm year-round, aside from Christmas Eve. While some exhibits are indoors, many consider the summer months of May to October the best time to visit as much of the site is outdoors. The memorial tends to be busiest around noon.
Exhibitions at the Dachau Memorial Site
Set in what was once a maintenance building, Dachau's main permanent exhibition covers the former Nazi concentration camp's horrific history and sheds light on the lives of the site's prisoners with firsthand accounts, biographies, and artifacts. Elsewhere on the Dachau grounds are exhibits in other original buildings displaying bunkers, model barracks, a crematorium, and a gas chamber, although evidence indicates that the gas chamber was never used to murder prisoners.

Vail Valley parents hit the road, combining newborn life with camper life
News | November 11, 2016
Melanie Wong
Courtesy of Jimmy and Amelia Vonesh
Avon residents Jimmy and Amelia Vonesh love to camp, ride bikes and be outdoors. They didn’t see why they had to give it all up once they started having kids.
That’s why it made complete sense to them when barely two weeks after their daughter Marley was born in 2015, the Voneshes packed up their bikes and their 17-month-old son Townsend and hit the road for a month. With the entire family contained in their truck and pop-up camper, the Voneshes drove clear to Canada, visiting friends and riding bikes along the way.
Craziness, you say? Maybe, but the Voneshes are among a handful of local couples who are using their maternity and paternity leave not to nest at home but to take to the great outdoors.
Van life, baby
For the Voneshes, the end-goal of their road trip was to attend a wedding in Oregon.
“We really wanted to be there, and their wedding date was two weeks after Marley was due,” said Amelia Vonesh. “We decided, we’re not going to fly, and we’re not going to leave the baby. Let’s just go. This is the kind of trip we love to do.”
The couple both works for Eagle County Paramedic Services, which worked with them to accommodate full three-month, job-protected leaves compliant with the Family and Medical Leave Act. The family wanted to take advantage of the time, said Jimmy Vonesh.
“We thought, ‘It’s uncommon to have that extended block of time off work. Let’s do something cool with it,’” he said.
Red Cliff residents Nathan and Ashleigh Krehbiel felt the same way when their son Carson was born this summer. When Carson was 3 weeks old, they took a five-day camping trip in their 1989 Astrovan Tiger RV. The trip went well, so three weeks later, they took a month-long trip through Wyoming and Montana.
“We had friends who had done something like this already, so we knew it was feasible,” Ashleigh Krehbiel said. “We knew it wasn’t always fun and easy, that it could be a lot of pain and suffering, but we both had 12 weeks off and really like to travel, so we wanted to get out there and do some good stuff.”
While crying, frequent breast feeding, diaper changes and sleepless nights sound like a road trip disaster, these couples point out that infants travel better than you’d think.
“Babies at that point are sleeping, eating and pooping, and that’s it,” said Amelia Vonesh. “By that point, Townsend was able to stay in the car for longer periods, too. We would drive four hours each day — which becomes six hours with all the stops and feeding. We saw some interesting destinations we’d definitely never have seen otherwise. It was fun.”
The great camper challenge
Many families gain belongings with the addition of a baby. Fewer people downsize all of their necessities into a small camper for weeks at a time.
Surprisingly, the families found their kids became well-suited to camper life. When the Krehbiels first bought their pop-up RV, they didn’t have a baby in mind. The Tiger had a three-burner stove, a tiny shower, room for two beds and a seating area.
Nathan Krehbiel made some major upgrades to the engine and transmission system, added racks and a solar panel, and they gave the ’70s-style interior a facelift. When Carson came along, they simply added a fold-up bassinet for sleeping and modified one of the existing seatbelts for his car seat.
The Voneshes upgraded to an 8-foot Coleman pop-up camper when Marley was born. It holds a twin and queen bed, electric water pump, furnace, sink, fridge and a homemade shower that Jimmy Vonesh crafted from a pony keg, Schrader valve and nozzle. Their truck is outfitted with a big topper bin, bike racks and wooden benches that fit bins of gear underneath. The tailgate became the makeshift diaper-changing station.
Of course, there were challenges, too. There was crying and screaming. There were mishaps and grumpy moments. Townsend Vonesh came down with a cold that developed into croup during the Canada trip, and the family ended up in the emergency room that night. But the Voneshes adjusted, checked into a hotel that night and were back on the road when he recovered.
Ashleigh Krehbiel, who was still getting back in shape, remembers feeling bummed that she couldn’t participate in some of the outdoor activities during their trip.
“I got a bit depressed in Jackson because there was all this great biking, and I still felt pretty crummy. I had to make sure to get myself out of the van and take a walk or hike,” she said. “But I think I would have been sadder sitting at home, and it would have been harder for us to sit around and not do much. Mentally, (the trip) was wonderful.”
Both the Krehbiels and Voneshes agreed the road trips were a wonderful bonding time for their new families.
“As a family, it was huge because we literally spent every minute of every day together for that entire first six weeks,” Amelia Vonesh said. “It was always about the family and what we needed, with no schedule or any outside influence.”
Jimmy Vonesh said he understands that camper life with a newborn isn’t for everyone.
“That’s the natural thing to want to stay at home, and there’s nothing wrong with that,” he said. “For us, we wanted our kids to fit into our lifestyle as much as is reasonable. It was important for us to hold onto the reasons we live here, why we’re together and why we do this to begin with.”

IGP Institute names associate director
Leading the administrative initiatives of the Kansas State University’s IGP Institute is Associate Director Shawn Thiele. He had been serving in the interim associate director role and plans to continue leading the grain processing and flour milling curriculum.
“Shawn has served as a great ambassador for the IGP Institute and the Department of Grain Science and Industry to all our constituents,” says Gordon Smith, IGP Institute director, and grain science department head.
A Kansas State University milling science graduate, Thiele first joined the team in 2012 as the operations manager for the Hal Ross Flour Mill and then shifted his responsibilities to serving as the grain processing and flour milling curriculum manager in 2016. In 2018, he added the responsibilities of interim associate director. Prior to his return to Kansas State, Thiele worked in the oat and corn milling business for eight years at Quaker Oats in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
“I am fortunate to work with a talented team of professionals at the IGP Institute. In this joint position, I hope to continue to strengthen and expand the IGP Institute’s trainings and foster new educational partnerships,” Thiele says.
In 2018, the IGP Institute offered 72 courses for 1,512 participants representing 52 countries. These trainings focused around grain processing and flour milling, feed manufacturing and grain quality management, and grain marketing and risk management. Trainings were offered both on-site and via distance.
In speaking about Thiele’s leadership, Smith says, “Shawn is a proven technical expert in milling operations who continues to offer his leadership skills to all our curriculum areas.” He adds that Thiele is guiding the efforts to meet the IGP Institute mission of providing technical, research-based training benefitting industry professionals globally and enhancing the market preference for U.S. grains and oilseeds.
Along with guiding the training efforts, Thiele serves as the liaison with the IGP Institute stakeholder partners that include the Kansas Wheat Commission, Kansas Soybean Commission, Kansas Corn Commission and the Kansas Grain Sorghum Commission.
“Shawn has done a great job in developing and maintaining strong relationships with the IGP Institute commission partners,” Smith says. He adds, “It is exciting to have Shawn in this role permanently and I am looking forward to his continued leadership.”

Man faces charges in rapes of women living at retirement communities
by: Staff Reports
McCORDSVILLE, Ind. (WISH) — A man described by authorities as a violent sexual predator is accused of raping two elderly women living in two different retirement communities.
According to News 8’s newsgathering partners at the Greenfield Daily Reporter, Samuel L. Patterson, 56, of Indianapolis, has been in the Marion County jail since February on charges of raping a 77-year-old Lawrence woman Sept. 26.
This week, authorities identified forensic evidence linking Patterson to a similar attack on June 27 of a 91-year-old victim in McCordsville.
The McCordsville and Lawrence police departments worked together to identify and arrest Patterson in February.
Patterson was officially charged Monday in Hancock County for the McCordsville attack and faces two Level 1 felony counts of rape by force and a Level 1 felony charge of burglary with serious bodily injury.
The crime happened shortly after midnight June 27 at an independent residential home in the Traditions at Brookside assisted living community, near Mt. Comfort Road and County Road 900 North, police said in a report.
The 91-year-old victim told police she went to bed around midnight and woke up to a strange noise; then someone put a pillowcase over her head and asked repeatedly where her money was. The woman told police she tried to reach for her medical alert necklace during the attack, but the man stopped her and threatened to kill her if she tried again. She told police he then raped her, according to a police report.
Paul Casey, interim chief of the McCordsville Police Department, said investigators believe Patterson got into the victim’s home through an unlocked front door and the attack was random.
“It’s so sad that something like this happened in our society,” Casey said. “It’s really hard to describe.”
Police believe Patterson raped a 77-year-old woman in September. She was also living in an independent home at an assisted living community, this one in Lawrence onthe campus of Westminster Village North, at 63rd Street and Sunnyside Road.
That victim told police a man crawled through her kitchen window, assaulted her, demanded cash and took her cellphone, according to a police report.
Patterson faces eight charges, including rape, burglary, criminal confinement and kidnapping, in connection with the September attack, records show.
Following the second attack, officials in McCordsville and Lawrence knew they had two similar cases and began a coordinated effort to catch the suspect.
“They had some leads in their case and we had one lead in our case but were unable to locate the person, but then it all came crashing together,” Casey said.
In November, McCordsville officials told Lawrence police they had run a license plate check on a vehicle parked less than 200 feet from where the first attack occurred.
Patterson, who has an extensive criminal record and who is registered as a sexually violent predator in Marion County, was one of the people named on the car registration and he fit a rough description of the attacker in both rapes, according to police.
Detectives contacted the Indiana Division of Parole Services and were told Patterson was not supposed to be where the car was parked because he was not allowed to live there with his girlfriend, who was a former employee of the correctional facility where he had been incarcerated, the report said.
Patterson was convicted of rape in 1998 in LaPorte County after attacking a 79-year-old woman and was released from prison on Feb. 25, 2017, according to authorities.
Data from Patterson’s cellphone show it was used the day before the McCordsville attack at a cell tower near the scene of the rape. DNA results identified Patterson first as the perpetrator in the rape in Lawrence, the report said. He was arrested and charged in February in Marion County.
Lawrence Deputy Chief Gary Woodruff said communication between McCordsville and Lawrence police departments contributed greatly to arresting the suspect.
“Crimes do not know jurisdictional boundaries,” Woodruff said.
In March, McCordsville officials authorized DNA testing on evidence taken from the scene of the McCordsville assault. The results, which came back Monday, linked Patterson to the attack.
“The trace evidence was a big key in this case,” Casey said.
McCordsville officials said they worked closely with the state police lab authorities to receive all the evidence needed to complete the testing.
Prosecutor Brent Eaton said he is not sure when Hancock County officials will get their chance to prosecute Patterson, but he hopes it’s sooner rather than later.
“There was a lot of hard work that was done by the McCordsville Police Department on getting this one together,” Eaton said. “They’re not a large department, but they provided us with a good, solid case.”
Hancock County officials issued a warrant for Patterson Wednesday. He remains in the Marion County Jail, where he is being held under a $200,000 surety bond. A jury trial has been set for June 24.
Officials with the Traditions of Brookside released this statement:
We are extremely grateful for the efforts of the McCordsville Police Department, and appreciative of their continual communication with our community. We have been inspired by our resident’s courage and strength, and thankful for our employees during, and after this incident.

Suspect Opens Up, Reveals How He Was Given Police Pistol To Snatch Ballot Boxes During Elections
Linda Patrick Thursday, 25 April 2019 Edit this post

A 26-year old man, Sylvester Arikhan, who was arrested with a police service pistol, has said that he was given the gun to protect ballot boxes during the House of Assembly election in Esan Central local government area of Edo state.
Sylvester claimed that he was given the gun by one Ehis who promised to pay him N130, 000.
He spoke to newsmen when he was paraded by the State Commissioner of Police, Danmallam Abubakar.
Sylvester said he undertook the job because he needed the money to travel out of the country as he just got out of prison for cult related offences.
He said he concealed the gun in his trousers as a party agent in ward 02, Unit 01, at Udomi Primary School, Irrua in Esan Central local government area of Edo in anticipation of violence from any quarters.
“After the election, we followed the ballot boxes and nothing happened but I did not return the gun because I was paid only N10,000. I was hiding from Ehis. He is a bad guy. He tried to set me up.
“When we attended a wedding, my friend brought N6,000 for me to buy bullets and fired some shots. I did it and gave the gun to Oboh Samurie to keep for me.
“Oboh took a girl to a hotel and police arrested him after they found the gun on him.”
The Police Commissioner said the suspects would soon be charged to court.

Technology to watch in 2002
The temptation to look back upon the year just past with fondness and nostalgia is great. Alas, we have to move forward.
By Stephan Somogyi | January 4, 2002 -- 04:08 GMT (20:08 PST) | Topic: Apple
COMMENTARY--The temptation to look back upon the year just past with fondness and nostalgia is great. But I'll resist and look forward.
Without doubt, 2001 was a great year in tech. The list of Good Things That Happened could easily fill this column. However, 2001 wasn't an unqualified success. Plenty of stuff went wrong throughout the year, so regardless of whether one subscribes to the glass-half-full or glass-half-empty school of thought, there's plenty to ponder in the realms of both consumer electronics and personal computing.
MAC OS X was Apple's most significant product release in 2001, but it's still far from finished. I guesstimate the next non-minor-update version of Mac OS X--tentatively numbered with laudable conservatism as 10.2--will ship approximately a year after 10.0 did. While 10.0 was an important release to get out as a baseline for developers, and 10.1 was the first release that didn't feel like a beta, I'm inclined to think that 10.2 will be the most important release of all.
Apple has deferred features and technologies with the excuse that "we have to ship" for quite literally years now. 10.2 needs to be the release that impresses professional and technical users; we don't need more mass-media gushing about superficialities. It's time for substance to enter the discourse about Apple's next-generation OS.
FIREWIRE ROCKS--not that this should be a surprise to anyone who's been reading my columns. While I recently learned that this high-bandwidth peripheral connectivity standard isn't quite as developer friendly as it is user friendly, FireWire--aka IEEE 1394--is still a major improvement over anything else out there, most notably SCSI and USB.
While FireWire really shouldn't be a competitor to USB, many companies have been trying to make the low-speed serial bus something it isn't. FireWire is better for many of today's USB applications--digital cameras leap to mind as a prime example--than is USB. The mantra should be "use the right tools for the job." Leave it to Apple to pick up the ball that Sony (et al) dropped years ago and use FireWire's combination of bandwidth and built-in power supply to great effect.
Having a single cable connect the iPod to its host Mac is a stroke of extreme cleverness, and I fully expect Apple to continue this approach during 2002, albeit with different gadgetry. If nothing else, Apple is once again showing up the rest of the consumer electronics companies, hopefully spurring them to use all of FireWire's 6 lines (Sony's defanged i.Link version of FireWire has only 4; the two missing ones provide power) and make consumers' lives easier.
MEDIA CONSUMPTION will hopefully improve qualitatively during 2002, though it is probably an act of pathological optimism to even contemplate this notion. After all, the Motion Picture Association of America and the Recording Industry Association of America are doing everything in their considerable power to make media consumption more restrictive for the consumer, under the deeply misguided impression that totalitarian control over media will improve profits.
If these organizations spent a fraction of the time, money, and effort looking for innovative ways of using new technology to everyone's benefit as they do on making our lives difficult, we might actually be able to have access to more media (back catalogs are just rife with profit opportunity, to name but one example). VHS didn't kill movies as the studios thought it would, and in fact, opened vast new revenue streams. Clearly, these organizations have a selective memory, since they remember only the battles where they successfully destroyed something--i.e., the RIAA's successful lobbying effort and subsequent annihilation of DAT as a consumer audio format--rather than the instances where they were overly panicked and made out like bandits, despite themselves.
THE OVERLAP between personal computing and consumer electronics will continue in 2002, and I hope this creates more opportunity for users to customize their consumer electronics devices. The days of the unconfigurable device are hopefully nearing their end, and I think TiVo should be applauded for not creating active countermeasures against modifying licensed devices.
I very much want to see TiVo offer an even more modifiable media platform. The company needs to generate revenue, but it should also offer the opportunity for user extensibility via published, safe, scripting-language-based APIs to more finely tune the users' experience to their own needs. I'm all for having baseline features suffice for over 95 percent of buyers, but I think it would be very cool if there were officially sanctioned ways to extend the built-in interface with custom features. Supporting something like this is only to TiVo's benefit.
GAMING is the final area I'll be keeping an eye on this year. 2002 is going to be a make-or-break year for the latest generation of gaming hardware. Based on preliminary sales figures for this year-end buying season, it looks like Sony's PlayStation 2 maintains a solid lead, but it's far too early to write off Xbox or Game Cube. The games--quality first, then quantity--are what matters, and this coming year's releases will decide which platforms will merely survive and which ones will thrive.

Women against Violence Network
The “Women against Violence” Network is a coalition of specialized women’s non-governmental organizations that render individual support services to women, and work on changing the social context in the goal of decreasing violence against women in Serbia.
The Women against Violence Network was established in 2005, emerging from women’s continuous networking in Serbia around the issue of decreasing violence against women, with the main goal of strengthening and connecting specialized women’s organizations which render services to survivors (SOS line, counseling, centers, shelters, safe houses, crisis centers, etc.)
The Women against Violence Network is open for association with all organizations and individuals working on the issue of reducing violence against women directly or indirectly, through research, advocacy of women’s right to life without violence, education, lobbying for laws protecting from violence, and who accept and implement the Network’s basic principles.
Network Bodies
WAV accomplishes its basic goal through individual or joint work of members, and by means of the Network Bodies:
Conference (Assembly)
The Network’s highest ranking body, consisting of one, or two at most, delegated representatives of each member organization, authorized to speak for the whole organization. Each organization has one vote.
Adopts documents of the highest importance for Network functioning (work rulebook, strategic and action plans), elects (gives mandates) to representatives of the Group for Development of Activities and Plans (Managing Board), elects (gives mandates) to the Coordinator, and decides on member admissions and expulsions.
Meets once a year and adopts an action plan for the following year. If there are no resources for holding a Conference meeting, decisions are reached via an e-mail list (zeneprotivnasilja), and exclusively when the Group for Development of Activities and Plans convenes it.
All decisions are made by simple majority vote (51%)
Group for Development of Activities and Plans (Managing Board)
Coordination body consisting of 7 members, elected by the Conference
Mandated for political decisions between Conference sessions
Authorized to:
put into action the Network’s priorities
when needed, establish and monitor work groups for specific issues
summon the Conference (Assembly)
support development of PR activities
Responsible for development of all important documents and recommendations to the Network
Maintains communications about important issues via monthly meetings or e-mail, cooperates with the Coordinator, encourages communication on the e-mail list (zeneprotivnasilja)
Works for the Networks Office and acts as contact person for the Women against Violence Network.
Closely cooperates with the Group for Development of Activities and Plans; responsible for supporting planning and implementation of the Network’s strategic decisions; coordinates projects; fundraises for Network activities; organizes and monitors Network administration; recommends and delegates jobs to Network members.
One or two women delegated by each organization for a 1 year period in charge of communications with the Network.
Thematic or Work Groups
Established for conducting specific tasks (action plan, writing projects, fundraising team, etc.)
Answer to the Coordinator and the Group for Development of Activities and Plans
A society where women live and make independent decisions without violence or fear of violence.
Strategic Fields of Action 2010 – 2012
The Women against Violence Network vision may be accomplished through three fields of action:
Strengthening Network capacities and resources:
Improving interconnectedness, knowledge and skills, equipment, material security and raising action taking capabilities and efficiency of the Network and its members for the purpose of accomplishing strategic goals.
Strengthening the Network’s and its members’ influence on relevant national and local policies:
Creating Network strategies in regards to using mechanisms to influence: national and local policies, institutions which adopt and implement laws.
Improving public visibility of the Network and its members, and especially in relation to women, funding agencies and institutions.
Context – Network and Its Environment
Since its beginnings (1993) women of the Autonomous Women’s Center have been dedicated to women’s networking. They banded into networks in the 90’s and continued on into this decade because of ever increasing responsibilities.
Today Serbia has several state mechanisms (laws, strategies, plans, institutional bodies and mechanisms for gender equality) for decreasing violence against women. The Women against Violence Network has come across old problems within the new institutional mechanisms, most of all in relation to recognition of organizations’ expertise and organized support of their work. Specialized women’s organizations which render services to women who have survived violence, still face financial insecurity – existing funding agencies and means of fundraising do not enable financial security and long-term planning, state mechanisms are underdeveloped, and there is a lack of awareness about the need to develop and support alternative means of rendering social services pertaining to violence against women.

By Irina Zhorov • Aug 10, 2012
Coal production and coal prices are down and stakeholders are offering up lots of reasons as the cause, from weather to new policies and competing fuels. Wyoming Public Radio’s Irina Zhorov reports that it’s a combination of all these factors.
Irina Zhorov: There is no doubt coal is struggling right now. Karim Rahemtulla is the Senior Correspondent for investment blog Wall St. Daily.
Rahemtulla: The predominant trend that’s in the market right now is a slowdown in consumption, directly related to coal, not necessarily other energy sources.
Former Bush Administration official says EPA is improperly affecting energy market
A Bush administration official has been speaking to members of the media this week about his concerns that the Environmental Protection Agency is overstepping its bounds. Bud Albright is the former undersecretary for the Department of Energy. Albright’s main point is that the EPA is unfairly making it difficult for energy companies to operate. He says they are unfairly impacting the energy market. He speaks with Wyoming Public Radio’s Bob Beck.
Cleaner technology could give Wyoming coal a bright future
In the midst of a coal slowdown nationwide, not all is dark. Wyoming has been investing millions in research that would make coal a clean, viable resource in the future, despite its dirty reputation. The state has also been making strides towards friendship and collaboration with other big coal stakeholders, like China. Wyoming Public Radio’s Irina Zhorov reports.
Enthusiasm for wind energy high outside Wyoming
Next on the show is the a Wind Energy expert and the author of the book Harvest the Wind: America’s Journey to jobs, energy independence and climate stability. Phil Warburg tells Wyoming Public Radio’s Bob Beck that while it appears that enthusiasm for Wind Energy has slowed down in Wyoming, that is not the case in the rest of the country.
Albany County Takes Public Comment On Future Of Casper Aquifer
By Rebecca Martinez • Jul 27, 2012
Albany County, Wyoming
HOST INTRO: The Casper Aquifer provides fresh groundwater to Laramie and a portion of Albany County. The water is in great condition, and the city and county have traditionally worked in tandem to keep it that way, but their paths diverged a few years ago. Now, Albany County’s most recent Casper Aquifer Protection Plan resolution is open for public comment, and the public has had a lot to say about it. Rebecca Martinez reports.

U.S. Geological Survey: Coalbed Natural Gas Production Has Minimal Impacts On Waterways
By Willow Belden • Jul 27, 2012
The U-S Geological Survey released a study examining how coalbed natural gas production affects water quality in nearby streams and rivers. Wyoming Public Radio’s Willow Belden spoke with Melanie Clark, the author of the report.
Investigation Of Contaminated Pavillion Water Presses On
By Tristan Ahtone • Jul 27, 2012
HOST: In December, the Environmental Protection Agency released a draft report tentatively linking water contamination in the town of Pavillion to hydraulic fracturing activities in the area. The release of the draft report caused a spectacle, and state, federal and tribal agencies have now caught in a bureaucratic holding pattern, while residents affected by contaminated water wait in a form of investigative limbo. Wyoming Public Radio’s Tristan Ahtone attended a recent Pavillion Work Group meeting to get updates on the investigation.
New efforts focus on restoring sage grouse habitat, to prevent endangered species listing
By Willow Belden • Jun 22, 2012
Sage grouse have been dying out in Wyoming and across the west for years, and the bird is being considered for endangered species listing. As a result, Wyoming has made a major push to preserve prime sage grouse habitat. But recently, scientists have been warning that conservation may not be enough. Studies have recommended that in addition to protecting habitat that’s still intact, the state needs to restore areas that have been disturbed. So now, a variety of agencies are working to come up with a plan for large-scale restoration. Wyoming Public Radio’s Willow Belden reports.
Research indicates sage grouse dislike human-made noise
As we’ve just heard, there’s a lot of concern over declining sage grouse numbers. And a lot of effort is going into keeping the birds from being included on the endangered species list. Part of that effort involves studying which aspects of human activity are most problematic. A new study published in the journal Conservation Biology examines how human-made noise – particularly the noise associated with gas development – affects sage grouse. We’re joined now by Jessica Blickley, one of the authors of the report.
Many are Optimistic That Wyoming’s Uranium Industry Will Grow
By Bob Beck • Jun 15, 2012

Intro: For the last several years a number of companies and politicians have expressed interest in getting more actively involved in Wyoming’s Uranium industry. Currently a task force of lawmakers is studying nuclear energy production and companies are testing the waters before they jump into the marketplace. The upside is that Wyoming has a lot of Uranium, the downside is cost and regulations. Wyoming Public Radio’s Bob Beck has more.
Uranium Mining In Jeffrey City: Past, Present and Future
By Irina Zhorov • Jun 15, 2012
HOST: Everyone is predicting a uranium boom internationally and Wyoming has the largest deposits in the U.S. The state has a legacy of uranium mining, as well. Wyoming Public Radio’s Irina Zhorov looks at the boom and its history.
Wyoming Cleans Up After Uranium Boom Years
By Rebecca Martinez • Jun 15, 2012
Dean Fitzgerald
HOST: When the Cold War caused a uranium boom in the 1950s, soil and water in the state suffered contamination. Reclamation has improved the landscape, and regulation is catching up with the industry but it’s not perfect yet. Wyoming Public Radio’s Rebecca Martinez reports.
REBECCA MARTINEZ: Ore from Wyoming’s rich uranium deposits was refined and concentrated into yellowcake at mills in the state before being sent to processing and enrichment facilities elsewhere. The mills produced large amounts of sandy waste called tailings, which still contained uranium.
Land Grab: What Happened on the Wind River Reservation?
By Tristan Ahtone • Jun 15, 2012
Tristan Ahtone
HOST: As we just heard, the uranium industry may have a long way to go in earning back the public’s trust, especially on the Wind River Reservation. In 2010, the Department of Energy released well monitoring data from the Wind River Reservation. What they found was that uranium levels in a number of their wells had spiked up to 100 times the legal limit. In early May the Department of Energy released tap test results showing uranium levels nearly twice the legal limit, but later said the results were anomalies.
Wyoming strives to curb ozone levels to meet federal mandate
By Willow Belden • May 18, 2012
Sublette County is home to two of Wyoming’s major oil and gas fields … and emissions from the energy production have caused smog to form – a type of smog called ozone. Ground-level ozone can cause and exacerbate respiratory problems. It’s also a problem for legal reasons: ozone levels in Sublette County have exceeded federal limits several times in the past few years. Now, the Environmental Protection Agency is stepping in. It’s designating Sublette County a “nonattainment area,” which means Wyoming is obligated to fix the problem.
Wind River Reservation residents still worry about uranium waste in tap water
By Tristan Ahtone • May 11, 2012
Last week, the Department of Energy announced that uranium at nearly twice the legal limit had been found in the tap water of four households on the Wind River Reservation. The event marks another incident in a long and troubled history in the area. Wyoming Public Radio's Tristan Ahtone brings us this report on the find.
Douglas residents react to Chesapeake Energy gas leak
By Willow Belden • Apr 27, 2012
This week, there was an explosion at an oil rig near Douglas. Natural gas spewed from the well, and about 50 people were evacuated from their homes. Wyoming Public Radio’s Willow Belden visited Douglas shortly after the accident and put together this montage of residents’ reactions.
Barrasso defends position against environmental regulation
By Bob Beck • Apr 27, 2012
U-S Senator from Wyoming John Barrasso has been very critical of the Obama administration because of its position on such things as new air standards as it applies to the coal industry… and a number of other EPA-led provisions that, he says, will just kill jobs. Senator Barrasso joins Bob Beck from the cloak room just outside of the U-S Senate.
Increase in coal exports on the horizon
By Irina Zhorov • Apr 20, 2012
There are more new ports designed for coal export being proposed in the U.S. and Wyoming’s Powder River Basin coal producers are training their eye on the developments. With some of the most efficient economies of scale in the world, a larger percentage of PRB coal could be making its way across the ocean soon. What would that mean for Wyoming and the global community? Irina Zhorov reports.
Study warns Powder River Basin sage grouse could die out
By Willow Belden • Mar 26, 2012
A new report by researchers at the University of Montana warns that unless energy development slows down, sage grouse populations in the Powder River Basin could die out. The study, which was commissioned by the BLM, was meant to determine whether the sage grouse population there can survive, given current oil and gas drilling activities, and what would happen to the birds if more drilling occurred or if there were new West Nile Virus outbreaks. Wyoming Public Radio’s Willow Belden spoke with Dave Naugle, who co-authored the report. He says the sage grouse population in the Powder River Basin has already declined by 82 percent as a result of energy development.
U.S. Rep. Cynthia Lummis praises water quality dialogue
By Bob Beck • Mar 26, 2012
State Representative Cynthia Lummis joins us to talk about a number of issues affecting the state. The Wyoming Republican most recently had a discussion with the head of the EPA concerning water pollution in Pavillion. She tells Wyoming Public Radio’s Bob Beck the good news is that there seems to be a dialogue.

A generic agent-based approach for modelling farmers' decision-making
The use of agent-based modelling approaches in agricultural systems analysis has been progressively increasing over the last few years. Agent-based models (ABM) can be seen as a critical tool for the understanding of farmer’s behaviour in response to changing environmental, economic, or institutional conditions. One of the key advantages is that ABM allow interpretation of agent-specific behaviour covering the heterogeneity of individual preferences or motivations often going beyond income maximisation. Despite this potential advantage, many agricultural ABM either rely on income maximisation or focus on a few, elementary rules that have to strongly abstract from real world decisions. We here present a model that combines a simulation framework that captures important principles from behavioural social sciences with standard bio-economic farm level modelling. Our approach provides a generic and theoretically sound approach to improve the diversity in representation of farmers’ decision-making and the integration of social interactions in ABM and farm level models. This presents an opportunity to align the simulation of farmer’s decisions more closely to actual decisions and thus support the development of reliable explanatory models of agricultural systems.

Socio-economic and environmental flows through trade: When the telecoupling framework meets global value chain
The telecoupling framework provides a systematical approach of examining interactions between the human system and the natural system over distance. It not only highlights the interactions between the focal regions (i.e. the sending system and the receiving system), but also the influence on the related regions (i.e. spillover systems). An important channel that telecoupling interactions worldwide take place is through international trade. The recently developed method can decompose the gross export (i.e. the export recorded when a product crosses a national border) into values provided and absorbed by all countries involved in the global value chain (GVC). Viewing trade from the lens of the telecoupling framework, this method allows for the quantification of in- and outflows between the sending system and the receiving system, and in- and outflows of the spillover system in any recorded trade. It is important to note that the same method can be applied to analyse the flows of environmental assets (e.g. carbon, water, land) embedded in the trade of values. Given multiregional input-output databases have been well developed, combining the decomposition method of GVC and the telecoupling framework allows to examine the socio-economic and environmental interactions between at any sector in any country driven by trade. In this study, we apply this approach in understanding such interactions between Europe and Latin America through the trade of biomass products in the period 1995-2009.

Hypothesis testing with computational models
Computer simulation has the potential to provide a new approach to testing empirical hypotheses for social sciences studies. This paper presents a method for conducting hypothesis testing by running simulations. Specifically, for the parameter that indicates a hypothesis, the value producing the highest goodness of fit is found with each set of observations. With a sufficiently large number of sets, the distribution of the parameter can be derived. This then allows us to tell whether the estimate of the parameter is significantly different from zero at a specified significance level. The result indicates whether the hypothesis can be accepted. As the number of sets of observed data available is often small in social sciences studies, we present a method to derive the distribution adequate for significance test out of a small number of datasets. The hypothesis testing process is illustrated using a case that examines peer effects in the diffusion of an innovation. Last, we discuss the usefulness of this method in particular for testing interactive effects in social processes.

Trade in the telecoupling framework
As a conceptual framework for understanding contemporary sustainability challenges, telecoupling emphasises the importance of socio-economic and environmental interactions over long distances. These long-distance interactions can occur through multiple human activities. Here we focus on international trade, a major channel of telecoupling flows, and in particular on the international trade of metals. We use the data of physical products and embedded greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions trade in the World Input-Output Database (WIOD) to quantitatively examine how countries contribute to both economic and environmental flows through trade of metals, but also how that contribution varies depending on their position in the global value chain (GVC) of contemporary international trade. This analysis is built on previously developed techniques for decomposing gross exports of products which we apply to examine embedded GHG emissions. We make comparisons between countries' contributions to flows of economic value versus embedded GHG emissions, but also examine contributions beyond total volumes of trade and bilateral trade. Specifically, we quantify the economic and environmental ‘spillover’ effects that occur in contemporary international trade due to the GVC in which flows of intermediate goods form components in other subsequently traded goods. We interpret differences between countries' contributions to the flows of economic value versus embedded GHG emissions as being related to the intensity and efficiency of resource use during production. In turn, differences in contributions to direct trade flows versus spillover flows are related to their positions in the GVC. Subsequently, we discuss other elements of the telecoupling framework in trade – agents, causes and effects. Quantitatively incorporating these telecoupling framework elements alongside spillover flows will enable investigation of dynamics and relationships that traditional trade theories, data and models do not currently account for well.
Defecting from autocracy in North Korea
This study proposes an agent-based simulation model to explore the dynamics of defection from North Korea. Methodologically, the challenge lies in the small proportion of the actual population that defects. Defection is a contagious process, whereby successful defections encourage further defections, but nevertheless remains at an extremely low rate. To model a realistic proportion of defection, the implementation of the simulation will have to allow for a large number of agents, whose behavior will have to be simulated. We model the entire North Korean population based on demographic and economic characteristics, as well as national economic dynamics. We investigate the direct and indirect impacts of the famine that occurred in the mid-1990s nationwide as a systematic shock, which substantially changed the landscape of defection from the country in its aftermath. Simulations are run for a large number of replications to evaluate the robustness and consistency of the simulation findings and are calibrated to the empirical record of defection from North Korea from 1992 to 2014. The simulation results suggest that the North Korean regime has been reducing its repression levels over time, but also that originally individual North Koreans were relatively optimistic about their chances of success and that based on observed defection attempts, they have updated their expectations to more accurately reflect the actual levels of repression. It suggests that citizens are aware of about half the attempts at defection – the remainder goes unnoticed – and that they base their assessment on defection attempts over the previous seven or so years.

MP calls for answers after alleged near-miss at Barns Green level crossing

James Oxenham
Horsham’s MP Jeremy Quin has taken action over a level crossing in Barns Green following an alleged near-miss over the weekend.
Mr Quin is set to meet with Network Rail after receiving concerning reports of an incident at the Emms Lane crossing on Friday.
The crossing was the scene of a fatal crash in 2017 when a Barns Green man and his grandson died after their car was in collision with a train on the crossing.
In a statement sent to Mr Quin Network Rail said the crossing had ‘operated as designed’ during the incident on Friday evening.
A spokesman for Network Rail confirmed it had received a call from a driver raising concerns the barriers had not come down despite a train passing through the area shortly after they crossed.
The spokesman said investigators analysed CCTV footage and found after the car had crossed and turned left onto the near-by Valewood Lane the barrier lowering sequence began. The sequence operated as designed and the train passed within 40 seconds.
Network Rail said a minute later the car was seen returning to the crossing from Valewood Lane and reported the incident.
The spokesman said: “The member of the public was surprised how quickly a train passed whilst driving down the lane parallel to the railway line as they felt it was only a few seconds after they had crossed the level crossing which had been clear to cross at the time.
“They have been assured that the time for the sequencing of this level crossing is normal and after speaking with our operations team, understand the timeline of events that took place.”
Further checks have since been made and Network Rail said the crossing operated as designed and the footage showed the barriers were down when the train travelled over the crossing.
Mr Quin said he was reassured by Network Rail’s response but has called for a meeting with bosses to discuss the crossing’s further.
Mr Quin said: “I was very concerned to be contacted over the weekend by Stuart Ritchie and Tricia Youtan, the district councillors for Barns Green, regarding an alleged “near miss” on the level crossing.
“Due to the tragic incident which recently occurred at this level crossing it was especially concerning for the community. I immediately took this up with Network Rail and whilst their response was reassuring on the most recent event – the gates were working safely - I am meeting them to follow up on previous discussions on local level crossings.”

11 Pets That Became Astronauts
Posted by Stacey Venzel
Humans weren't the first animals in space.
Prior to the launch of mankind in helmeted spacesuits, a number of animals orbited earth. Scientists were unsure how the human body would respond to weightlessness, or if it could even survive.
So a number of "guinea pig" test subjects--including actual guinea pigs--found themselves peering down from the solar system as early as the 1940s, catching more than a dozen sunsets in a day.
While humans are still learning to reach for the stars, it seems these animals were well on their way to touching the future. Like the 1986 Challenger and 2003 Columbia astronauts, many of these pets risked their lives for the sake of knowledge and discovery. It seems we have many different species of heroes to thank for space exploration.
What are some of these pet astronauts?
1. Dogs
Canines made numerous debuts in space prior to the human astronaut. The most famous individual was Laika, a Russian stray plucked from the streets of Moscow for what was an inevitable suicide mission, as the return flight to Earth had not yet been programmed.
NASA/Space.com
2. Cats
Cats have purred their way through the atmosphere starting with the French feline Felicette (often mistakenly called Felix). The cat was ejected in a successful parachute descent back to land in 1963.
3. Mice
Mice don't just don lab coats; they wear spacesuits, too. Four black mice went into space in 1959 aboard Discoverer 3.
According to NASA, they were the only animal payload on a Discoverer flight.
4. Russian Tortoises
Accompanying a human mannequin aboard the Soviet Union's Zond 5 in 1968, two Russian tortoises orbited the moon.
Despite technical failure, the reptiles were recovered in the floating orbiter in the Indian Ocean. They reportedly were down 10 percent in body weight and had some altered body chemistry but otherwise acted normally.
Calvert Journal
5. Guinea Pigs
A cavy first made it into space aboard the Russian Sputnik 9 in 1961, parachuting safely back to earth, G-force-style.
China also sent a number of squeakers into space on an animal mission in 1990.
6. Rats
Rodents seem to be astronaut veterans. Rats have looked down at us from above a number of times.
Pregnant rats were also subjected to zero gravity conditions to monitor how the babies were affected.
7. Hamsters
These mischievous furballs have joined their other rodent friends in a handful of missions alongside mice, rats, and guinea pigs.
8. Rabbit
The first lagomorph on a rocket was Marfusha (meaning "Little Marsha"), companion to two dogs on a 1959 Russian mission. The three furry friends returned safely back to earth.
9. Newts
Ten newts flew through space in 1985. Due to their self-healing body part regeneration after injuries, these newts were manipulated with deformities and their regenerative capabilities studied in outer space.
10. Frogs
How does a frog handle the vomit comet? Check out the clip above for a sampling of frogs in zero-g.
NASA sent two bullfrogs into space in 1970 as part of the Orbiting Frog Otolith program. (An otolith is an inner ear bone used to maintain balance.) Scientists got the data they were looking for, but the orbiter was not recovered.
11. Fish
Is swimming through water the same in space? A pair of mummichogs got a chance to find out as the first fish in space in 1973, also in a study of otoliths.
Japan sent an aquarium of medaka fish to the International Space Station in 2012. The transparent skin of this species allowed researchers to visually observe the effects of space on organs. Inside the tank, weightlessness caused the fish to swim in loops.
Without these pet astronauts, we would still have much to learn about space today. Two decades before man landed on the moon, animals were already experts at soaring through the Milky Way.

Head-To-Head: Pep Guardiola vs Jurgen Klopp
by Chloe Beresford / 07 September 2017, 15:21Tweet
Second meets fourth in the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime as Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City host Liverpool, spearheaded by Jurgen Klopp. After the opening three matches, the Merseyside outfit are ahead of their rivals only by goal difference, both sides having earned seven points so far.
It has been a highly-anticipated clash since Guardiola moved to the Premier League ahead of the 2016/17 campaign, and the forthcoming encounter will be no different. Those fascinating tactical battles ended in a 1-0 win for the Reds back in December, with the return fixture a 1-1 draw.
"It was really hard work," said Klopp after the victory last year. "But it was not that we were expecting something different. Against Man City, you have to work for three points. If you are good enough, you can get them - and we were good enough."
The pair do share a mutual respect though, the German having defended his counterpart in the press after receiving criticism for his first year in England. “We really have to compare the squads,” he told the Independent. “A team without Messi or with Messi? Come on. A team with Iniesta or without Iniesta? A team with Xavi at his best or without? That’s the difference.”
Even a touchline squabble between the pair back in March was diffused with a comical high-five in the end, but the Catalan maestro will undoubtedly be looking to earn his share of the spoils this time around. Of course last season was not the first time the two had met, Klopp having previously been in charge at Borussia Dortmund, whilst Guardiola took the reigns at Bayern.

— 101 Great Goals (@101greatgoals) March 19, 2017
Their first meeting was the latter’s competitive debut in Germany, with Dortmund coming out the victors in a 3-0 German Super Cup win. The league fixtures between them would end up with both sides enjoying a 3-0 victory, however Dortmund achieved their victory after their adversaries had already wrapped up the Bundesliga title. After that spoils would remain even, the Coaches having accumulated four victories each over two seasons.
Guardiola may have eventually followed Klopp to English shores, but his philosophy of keeping the ball remains the same. Indeed, Manchester City have recorded an impressive average possession rate of at least 55% in all 40 of the 46-year-old boss’ matches in the Premier League so far. The Blues have a largely new backline, but the Coach will still expect full-backs Benjamin Mendy, Danilo and Kyle Walker to get forward whilst providing solid defensive cover, in keeping with his usual style.
City have alternated between a 4-3-3 and a 3-4-1-2 this season, however Liverpool have stuck with a solid 4-3-3. Mohamed Salah will provide lightening pace in Klopp’s setup that focusses on counter-pressing. The Coach places huge importance on his central midfielders to provide balance, meaning that Henderson and Can will need to learn to think about both phases of the game at all times. His trio of attackers behind the central striker must not drop too deep, otherwise the whole system will collapse. While the German boss demands much from those in advanced roles, he also expects his backline to remain tight, organised and aggressive, a vital component in the quest to take the points on Saturday.

Both will have one eye on Champions League group fixtures that will take place in the middle of the following week, Liverpool hosting Sevilla and Manchester City travelling to Feyenoord. It is far too early to speak of genuine pressure for either boss, but - particularly for Guardiola after he finished 2016/17 empty-handed - winning this Saturday’s match would make a big statement of intent for the rest of the campaign.

Amakhosi confirm sale of Teenage Hadebe to Turkish club

Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed yet another player exit with the announcement that Zimbabwe international Teenage Hadebe has been sold.
Hadebe is the latest in a long string of Naturena exits but is the first player to be sold in the current window moving to Turkish Super Lig club Yeni Malatyaspor.
The 23-year-old has been on international duty with Zimbabwe at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations. While there, he apparently drew the eye of the club who finished fifth in the Super Lig to secure entry into the second round of Uefa Europa League.
The centre back has jetted to Turkey to finalize the deal which has for all intents and purposes been completed, although the fee is yet to be disclosed.
“Kaizer Chiefs have agreed to an outright sale of Teenage Hadebe to Yeni Malatyaspor. Malatyaspor is based in Malatya, Turkey. The club plays in Süper Lig,” a statement on Chiefs website read.
“Hadebe attracted the Turkish with his performances at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations currently taking place in Egypt. He is set to undergo medicals tomorrow in Turkey.”
Hadebe has spent two seasons at Chiefs after joining the club in 2017 from Zimbabwean club Chicken Inn FC.
One less problem without Hadebe
Kaizer Chiefs pre-season comings and goings have left them trying to juggle personnel. The signing of three foreign players this window has left Amakhosi with too many foreigners on their books. PSL rules dictate that only five foreign players can be registered for Premiership action. As things stand Chiefs have Leonardo Castro, Daniel Akpeyi, Arohasina Andrianarimanana still on their books and have added three more in Lazarous Kambole, James Kotei and Samir Nurkovic. With Hadebe on his way out Chiefs still need to offload another one of their players or risk having them be passengers at Naturena.
Khama Billiat and Willard Katsande have received permanent residence and therefore do not need to be registered as foreign players.
Castro has been transfer-listed but there have not been any offers forthcoming for the 30-year-old Colombian forward. The striker was reportedly peeved at being left on the bench for Chiefs Nedbank Cup final defeat to TS Galaxy and is himself eager on a move.
Akpeyi’s future is in doubt despite the keeper playing a big role in Nigeria’s run to the Afcon semi-finals in Egypt.
Chiefs will expect some of their Bafana Bafana and other international players to return to training next week ahead of their Carling Black Label Cup match against Pirates on 27 July.

Vodafone has failed the City, admits chairman
William Lewis and Paul Durman
July 18 2004, 1:00am, The Times
LORD MACLAURIN, chairman of Vodafone, has admitted that the mobile-phone giant has “failed” the City and must rebuild relations with investors.
MacLaurin was responding to last week’s Sunday Times analysis of the reasons behind Vodafone’s disappointing share-price performance. Investors have a litany of concerns, including poor trading in Japan, the threat of UK competition and the belief that Vodafone would rather finance acquisitions in France and Italy than return the money to shareholders.
“A lot of that really hits home,” said MacLaurin. “One doesn’t like to see words like ‘arrogant’ used. I think we have failed the City in various ways and that needs to be put right.”
He added: “We have got to get much closer to institutional investors, and let them understand what…

May’s Euro leaflet shames Tory MPs who blocked Brexit deal
Sam Coates, Deputy Political Editor
May 10 2019, 9:00am, The Times
Brexiteers fear that the leaflet will be counterproductive because Tory activists dislike the prime minister’s dealMATT DUNHAM/PA
Theresa May is facing renewed anger from Brexiteers after Tory European election leaflets included a link to a website that names and shames MPs who voted against her withdrawal deal.
In addition, the leaflet fails to say that an independent trading policy would be a benefit of Brexit, which is being seen by some as a hint that she might agree to a permanent customs union in the latest talks with Labour. The pamphlet is being distributed by freepost rather than activists, many of whom are on strike.
The leaflet shows that the party is effectively using the campaign to criticise the 34 Tory Brexiteers who call themselves the “Spartans” as well as the second referendum supporters who declined to back Mrs May’s deal in…

John Goodman Recalls Best Will Ferrell ‘SNL’ Sketch That Never Made Air (Video)
“The audience just hated it,” the actor told Seth Meyers on his NBC late-night show
Ryan O'Connell | November 25, 2014 @ 7:29 AM
After hosting “Saturday Night Live” 13 times, John Goodman has appeared in his fair share of classic sketches. There is one though that never made it past dress rehearsal that Goodman says is his personal favorite.
See photos: 13 of 'SNL: Weekend Update' Anchors Before Newbie Colin Jost
“The one I remember is one that Adam [McKay] and Will Ferrell wrote,” Goodman told Seth Meyers on Monday’s “Late Night.” “It was a doctor sketch and it was just going nowhere. The audience just hated.”
While the skit fell flat in front of the audience, failing was half the fun, Goodman explained.

“Will took it and… ‘if we’re going to bomb, I’m taking you with me,’ one of those kind of deals,” Goodman said. “I was crying, I was laughing so hard.”
Meyers also spoke about the first “SNL” sketch he wrote to ever make it on the show which starred himself, Goodman and Amy Poehler.
“You did me the biggest favor – the first sketch I had on, Poehler and I wrote, and it was called ‘Little Sleuths’ and you were in it,” Meyers said to his guest. “We played Encyclopedia Brown and his sister and we were helping you solve a homicide.”

“Little Sleuths” was the final sketch of that episode and the characters never appeared again.
“Poehler and I already started spending the ‘Little Sleuths’ money,” Meyers said. “We thought we were going to have movies and it never aired again.”

‘Morning Joe’ Endorses Mark Halperin Suspension: ‘We Fully Support NBC’s Decision Here’ (Video)
“We’re not going to avoid the story just because he is our friend. We’re going to cover it and we’re going to pray for everybody involved,” says Mika Brzezinski

Morning Joe Comes Out in Favor of Mark Halperin Suspension: "We Fully Support MSNBC's Decision Here" pic.twitter.com/uiNnVmCk4R
— Jon Levine (@LevineJonathan) October 27, 2017
In the first hour of “Morning Joe” the set felt compelled to once again address charges of sexual misconduct against show regular Mark Halperin.
As it did Thursday, the task fell to Mika Brzezinski who abruptly shifted from regular programming to deliver an emotional monologue about their “friend” Mark Halperin. Brzezinski ultimately said that despite the show’s personal closeness to Mark, that they supported MSNBC’s decision to suspend him.
“I’ll speak for both Joe and myself here, our hearts break for Mark and his family because he is our friend but we fully support NBC’s decision here,” she said. “We’re not going to avoid the story just because he is our friend. We’re going to cover it and we’re going to pray for everybody involved.”

With “Morning Joe” one of Halperin’s most visible platforms, media journalists and gawkers have been watching the program with a microscope to see how they would address the matter. In the very early moment of the scandal Thursday, Brzezinski issued a terse statement only announcing the news and promising that there would be more to come.
Her comments today thread a very careful needle between expressing her sympathy for Halperin, without being “soft” on the overall issue of sexual harassment. The tension between those two competing interests was on vivid display.
“We believe it’s important to stand with our friends through even the most difficult of times, but it’s even more important to demand the truth even when the facts appear to be extremely painful,” said Brzezinski. “We are at a pivotal moment in history where unacceptable harassing behavior toward women will no longer be swept under the rug and we do remain a nation of laws where everyone is considered innocent until proven guilty, and nothing has been proven or adjudicated here.”
In addition to his MSNBC suspension, Halperin saw much of his political/media empire fall away yesterday. Before the day was out an upcoming book on the 2016 election was canceled. and the future of his HBO show ‘The Circus’ was also in doubt.
16 'Morning Joe' Trump Insults That Got Personal, From 'Schmuck' to 'Jackass' (Photos)
President Trump recently received a ton of criticism for sending out a pair of tweets about MSNBC's "Morning Joe" hosts “Psycho” Joe Scarborough and “low I.Q. Crazy” Mika Brzezinski.
“She was bleeding badly from a face-lift,” he wrote of an encounter with Brzezinski he claims he had in Florida weeks before his inauguration.
While nothing can justify the president mocking a woman's appearance, the "Morning Joe" duo have been attacking Trump for months.
Check out 16 recent times the MSNBC stars said something that Trump could have taken personally.
They compared him to Kim Jong-un
“This is unprecedented, to have a president who behaves this way,” Brzezinski said on June 23. “It does feel like a developing dictatorship."

Brzezinski said Trump’s likes make her "uncomfortable"
“It’s so uncomfortable to see a president… lies, after lies, after lies from the president of the Unites States,” Brzezinski said on June 22.

Guest Donny Deutsch unloaded on Trump's appearance
Deutsch defended Brzezinski on June 30 following Donald Trump’s attacks on her, calling the president “physically disgusting to look at.”
Deutsch continued: “Enough is enough with this disgusting vulgar man and to talk about women that way, and the irony is you physically look like you do, beyond the stupidity of it. You are a pig."

Brzezinski said what Bill Clinton was to sex, Trump is to "decency"
"What Bill Clinton did to the issue of sex to an entire generation, I believe this president is doing on issues of decency, on issues of conspiracy theories, on issues of fake news," Brzezinski said in June 15. "I think it's that simple and we're desensitized if we even argue it."

They claim the administration lacks "real men"
"If the president seems delusional about his accomplishments, you can point no further than that room," Brzezinski said in June 14. "There are no real men in the inner circle of the White House... none at all."

Scarborough slammed Trump’s cabinet meeting
After Trump staffers praised the president during a cabinet meeting, Scarborough said on June 13 it “was the most sick, shameful, pathetic, un-American, autocratic display.”
He continued: “I will tell you if I were ever in meeting and people did that to me, I would say shut up and I would fire you.”
Also Read: ‘Morning Joe’ Rips Trump’s ‘Sick, Shameful, Pathetic, Un-American’ Cabinet Meeting (Video)
Brzezinski challenged Trump's mental health
Brzezinski called President Trump a “narcissist” and said it’s possible that he’s “mentally ill in a way” on June 8.
She continued: “I said it months ago… he’s not well. At the very least he’s not well and he’s so narcissistic that he does not believe the rules apply to him."

Scarborough called Trump a “schmuck”
“Donald Trump, again, being a schmuck, thinking he can buy people’s integrity by inviting them over to the White House and wowing them,” Scarborough said on June 7 when discussing a dinner party at the White House. “That’s how he thinks. I know that first hand.”

Scarborough said Trump “is not a sane, rational human being”
“If any CEO, in a Fortune 500 company, was behaving this way, he or she would be removed immediately… they would take him out, he would have psychiatric evaluation and he would no longer be the CEO,” Scarborough said on June 6.

Scarborough refers to "President Bannon"
Scarborough blasted “President Bannon” on June 2 for the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Accord on climate change — using the trolling phrase seven times in half a minute.
“Time magazine was right: Steve Bannon is the president of the United States,” the MSNBC host said, before launching into a 30-second monologue referencing “President Bannon” repeatedly.

They compared Trump to a “kid pooping his pants”
The morning show played audio of Press Secretary Sean Spicer telling reporters during an off-camera gaggle that Trump’s “covfefe” tweet wasn’t a typo and Americans shouldn’t be concerned.
Brzezinski set up her fiancé, “You said… it’s like a kid pooping their pants and then saying, ‘I meant to do that.”
“Well yes. It would be like somebody pooping their pants and then people looking at it and saying ‘oh that’s modern art don’t you understand,'” Scarborough said on June 1.

They called the president a “jackass”
Scarborough ripped Donald Trump on May 23, calling the president a “jackass” for continued attempts to squash the Russian investigation.
The panel even compared Trump to Lloyd Christmas, who was Jim Carey’s character in the film “Dumb and Dumber.”

Scarborough called Trump a “bumbling dope”
Scarborough called Trump a “bumbling dope” on May 11 because of the way a meeting with Russia’s Foreign Minister was handled.
“Looking at the front pages of the newspapers here… The Wall Street Journal also, you look, of course, at pictures. The shameful picture where the United States press corps was kept out but the Russians were allowed in,” Scarborough said while holding up the paper.
Also Read: ‘Morning Joe’ Calls Trump ‘Bumbling Dope’ For Letting Russian Reporters Into Oval Office
They compared Trump to someone with dementia
Scarborough ripped Donald Trump on May 2, saying the president’s comments about Andrew Jackson and the Civil War sound like someone with dementia.
“My mother’s has had dementia for 10 years,” Scarborough said. “That sounds like the sort of thing my mother would say today.”
Also Read: ‘Morning Joe’ Compares Trump to Someone With Dementia (Video)
They think the president watches too much TV
“He’s president of the United States and all he does is watch TV… and comment on it,” Scarborough said on April 3.
“This is very small behavior that is so unbecoming,” Brzezinski added. “He’s like a little kid.”
Also Read: ‘Morning Joe’ Rips Trump: ‘All He Does is Watch TV’ (Video)
They called Trump “stupid”
Scarborough slammed Trump on March 31, saying that Russians are lucky that POTUS is “stupid enough” to pick up their fake news.
“We’re obsessed on how the Russians have hacked, how the Russians have tried to impact this, how the Russians have tried to impact the White House,” Scarborough said. “We’re really just playing into their hands.”

Jan Morris (1926 - ) Part 2: transition and empire
Part 1: youth and journalism.
Part 2: transition and empire.
Part 3: travel writer.
Morris investigated transsexualism. One winter evening in Ludlow he found a half-price copy of Lile Elvenes (Elbe)'s Man into Woman, and "with what agonies of embarrassment" bought it. Morris also read Robert Stoller, an unspecified account of Charlotte D'Eon and one transsexual novel: Geoff Brown's I Want What I Want.
"I trod the long well-beaten, expensive and fruitless path of the Harley Street psychiatrists and sexologists, one after the other, getting their names from their published works, or being passed from one to the other. None of them in those days, I now realize, knew anything about the matter at all, though none of them admitted it."
Morris was one of thirty cases featured in Georgina Turtle's Over the Sex Border, 1963. In 1964 Morris was in New York and visited Harry Benjamin, who advised him that a change of body must be a last resort, and that he should try working life as a man. Shortly afterwards Morris obtained an appointment with a London endocrinologist who said:
"What it would do to your personality or your talent, we cannot say. It is a grave decision to take, but it must be your own. You do know what you are doing?"
Morris returned to Venice with a box of oestrogen tablets, but considered the advice of both men and flushed them down a lavatory. However a subsequent prescription from Dr Benjamin he did take.
During this time Mottis was preparing a Empire trilogy, Pax Britannica.
With the support of Elizabeth, Morris lived as a woman in Oxford, but travelled the British Empire androgynously, sometimes being taken as male, and sometimes as female. Jan was issued a new passport 'without any indication of sex at all'.
Word of course got around. Morris' old tutor at Christ Church College had heard from a colleague at Harvard before being told directly. Some in London knew of Jan but others only of James. Private Eye magazine jested that if Morris were invited to a function 'dressed informally', it was Jan who was expected. At their other home in Pwllheli, Gwynedd in North Wales, Jan and Elizabeth presented as sisters-in-law to explain why two women had the same surname.
The first volume of James' trilogy, The Climax of Empire, was published in 1968 to mixed reviews but commercial success. In 1971 Morris was invited to write a short book on the Cascade Mountains and she and Elizabeth travelled by boat and car along the range being accepted as two women.
However "The book was still-born, all the same, for in Chapter Three the publishers discovered my unquenchable antipathy to the Douglas Fir".
Jan had been accepted in the program at Charing Cross Hospital Gender Clinic, but it was insisted that Jan and Elizabeth be divorced before surgery.
"I saw his point, for he could not know the nature of the relationship between us. And indeed I recognized that we must be divorced in the end. But after a lifetime of fighting my own battles I did not feel in a mood to offer my destiny like a sacrifice upon the benches of Her Majesty's judges. Who knew what degradations we might both endure? What business was it of theirs, anyway?"
Jan completed transitioned to Jan in 1972 at age 46, with two weeks in the clinic of Dr Georges Burou in Casablanca. She was in his clinic the same time as Carol Riddell.
"Dr B--'s craftmanship, though aesthetically brilliant, was functionally incomplete, and I underwent two further sessions of surgery in an English nursing home."
She commented on being a woman:
"I don't feel it incumbent on me to read Kate Millet and Germaine Greer. I like being a woman. But I mean a woman! I like having my suitcase carried. I like gossiping with the lady upstairs. If Elizabeth would let me, I'd be wildly extravagant about clothes, though I must say I'm not much interested in cooking. Never was. And yes, I like to be liked by men."
Morris' comment that she needed further surgery on return to the UK is very imprecise. Does it mean that Burou's technique was not as good as we are told in other autobiographies?
The statement that Jan was issued a new passport 'without any indication of sex at all' means less than it appears. I was granted the same privilege 16 years later. The old pre-European-Union UK passports had no 'sex' box to be filed with either 'F' or 'M'. Sex, or gender as we would now say, was merely implicit from the person's honorific: Lord, Lady, Sir, Dame, Mr, Mrs, Miss. Despite the ruling in Corbett v. Corbett, the UK Passport Office dealt with transsexuals by simply not putting a honorific. Incidentally doctors (PhD or MD) were issued passports that said Dr and were therefore gender neutral if the person's name and photograph permitted. This is a much better solution than the new fashion in the 2010s of issuing a passport with gender=X.
