Kathy Griffin criticizes FBI after D.C. riot: 'The DOJ contacted me within hours'
Following the deadly riot in Washington, D.C., comedian Kathy Griffin scolded the FBI on Twitter Thursday after the bureau asked the public's help in identifying individuals who took part in storming the Capitol building.
This file photo shows Kathy Griffin posing for a portrait in New York. (Matt Licari/Matt Licari/Invision/AP)
"With all due respect, you work for the Department of Justice," Griffin tweeted. "The DOJ contacted me within hours of posting an offensive photo of Donald Trump. Hours. There is ample evidence all over the Internet clearly identifying thousands of these actual terrorists."
In 2017, Griffin drew the Trump family's ire when she posed with a fake severed head of the president during a photoshoot. Griffin said she was investigated by the Secret Service and FBI regarding the photo, kicked off of CNN's annual New Year's Eve broadcast and received death threats because of the photo.
Griffin was reportedly one of the people targeted by Trump supporter and mail bomber Cesar Sayoc in 2018, presumably because of the image.
Griffin reposted the photo on Wednesday along with the message, "Just resign now. You lost. Its over," when she retweeted the president.

Why PERA Should Divest from Fossil Fuels: Guest Blog Post from PERA Member
There is a global movement of divestment from fossil fuels and investment in green energy occurring called the Go Fossil Free/Divest-Invest movement that has already garnered the commitment of 1,000+ institutions totaling over $8B of investments. PERA should join this movement, not only to be on the "right side of history" environmentally speaking, but also to ensure it fulfills its sole purpose: to maintain its assets in the present and in the future to fund the retirement of its members.
Isaac Furtney, PERA member
Thanks to Isaac Furtney for today's blog post. Isaac is a PERA member and believes that PERA should join the global divest-invest movement, not only to be on the "right side of history" environmentally speaking, but also to ensure it fulfills its sole purpose: to maintain its assets in the present and in the future to fund the retirement of its members.
As a relatively green school bus driver, I recently became aware of PERA, or the Colorado Public Employees Retirement Association as it is the retirement plan my colleagues and I (as well as one-in-ten Coloradans) are contributing to in place of Social Security. Roughly 8% of my pre-tax paycheck goes straight into it, while my employer pays a little over double that amount. It will be part of the income I rely on when I retire many years from now. Retirement is potentially the most financially vulnerable period of a person's life, and it is important to me that the funds I contribute to while working are there for me when I need them down the road.
The recent legislation concerning PERA alarmed me, particularly that members are now forced to contribute more to keep the fund solvent. I began wondering why the Colorado Congress deemed this measure necessary. I began to wonder why, with the market rising consistently over the last few years, our investments weren't growing similarly. The fact that managed funds typically perform no better than indices crossed my mind. Knowing that PERA's investments are managed by people caused me to wonder what exactly the financial advisers are deciding to invest my colleagues' and my money in. And, who are they being advised by on the issue of fossil fuel investments? If they are only being counseled by an oil and gas lobbying firm as a November, 2018 article indicated, this is problematic.
Although I'm not retiring for many years, I still don't want PERA taking any unnecessary risks with its investment strategy. I also wish PERA to be invested in ethically sound companies. Also, as a relatively "green-minded" school bus driver, I am aware of the urgency of climate change. Toward these ends, I don't want to see PERA investing in fossil fuel companies, including oil and gas extractors and utility companies that burn coal, which are aiding in the destruction of the planet–which is another thing besides an income I want to be around when I retire. While my school bus is currently powered by fossil fuels, my retirement need not–and should not–be.
According to PERA's SEC filings, PERA has over 5% of its total global equity invested in oil and gas and utility companies. PERA is not only invested in Colorado-based oil and gas companies, as might seem justifiable as "supporting the state," but is heavily invested in companies like the Texas-based Anadarko Petroleum Corp. Supporting fossil fuel companies not only endorses their destructive behavior, it also represents a large financial risk. Tom Sanzillo, Director of the Finance Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis points out in a Colorado Politics article entitled, "Colorado's PERA Shouldn't Bank on the Future of Oil and Gas," that "competition from wind and solar on the power-generation side of the equation and from the rise of electric vehicles on the transport side [will harm the future performance of fossil fuel stocks]." These companies and their shareholders also need to be concerned about the probability of stranded assets–i.e. fossil fuel reserves that will become legally unattainable once global initiatives to reduce carbon emissions (such as the Paris Climate Accord)–diminishing their profitability.
There is an entire global movement of divestment from fossil fuels and investment in green energy occurring called the Go Fossil Free/Divest-Invest movement that has already garnered the commitment of 1,000+ institutions totaling over $8B of investments. PERA should join this movement, not only to be on the "right side of history" environmentally speaking, but also to ensure it fulfills its sole purpose: to maintain its assets in the present and in the future to fund the retirement of its members.

The Remains Of A Stone Age Couple Found In A Spooning Embrace
Archaeologists working at the Alepotrypa Cave in Greece have discovered a rare 5,800-year-old double burial in which two well-preserved skeletons were found in what appears to be the spooning position.
This excavation site is one of the largest Neolithic burial sites in all of Europe. The cave has a huge interior, with some of its chambers measuring more than half a kilometer in depth. Alepotrypa Cave is located above Diros Bay and burials within it span the entire Neolithic period in Greece, from 6,000 to 3,200 BC. Sometime around 3,000 BC, an earthquake rocked the area, causing the cave entrance to collapse and lock its interior to outside intruders. Though rediscovered in 1958, excavations did not start until the 1970s. To date, archaeologists have uncovered the remains of no less than 170 individuals.
In addition to the embracing couple, the archaeologists uncovered the remains of a child and a newborn, along with a second burial containing the bones of a young man and woman facing each another in a curled position.
Writing in National Geographic, Rick Romeo describes the couple:
"They're totally spooning," [Bill] Parkinson [associate curator of Eurasian anthropology at Chicago's Field Museum] said of the last pair. "The boy is the big spoon, and the girl is the little spoon: Their arms are draped over each other, their legs are intertwined. It's unmistakable."
Anastasia Papathanasiou, a Greek archaeologist who has worked at the site since the late 1980s, said the couple probably died in the embracing pose or were placed in this pose shortly after death. "It's a very natural hug; it doesn't look like they were arranged in this posture at a much later date."
Some media reports have claimed the couple was stoned to death, but Parkinson and Papathanasiou cautioned that there is no evidence for this. The cause of death is a mystery.
As noted by Romeo, these folks lived during what appears to be an exceptionally violent period. More than 30% of the skeletons feature evidence of blunt cranial trauma, likely inflicted by rocks, stones, or clubs. That said, these wounds appear to be nonlethal. The archaeologists attribute the violence to competition for land, water, and/or other resources.

While the Military can be a rewarding, lifelong career for many service members, it can also serve as the foundation for a civilian career. Whatever the case may be, service members will have resources and skills to transition into life after serving.

Many who serve in the armed forces can't imagine a job being stuck behind a desk and the land-based sector has a wide selection of roles to offer ex-military personnel including floristry, game-keeping, farming, tree-surgery, landscaping and conservation.
After 20 years of service, military members can retire under the High-3 retirement plan with 50% of their basic pay, full medical coverage and a range of other benefits. Service members who retire under the newer BRS will earn 40% of their base pay with whatever has been accrued in their TSP.
The military provides a sense of purpose, well-defined roles and hierarchy, camaraderie, honor and mission – things that can be hard to find or define in the civilian world. So when our veterans transition out of the military, it can spark a loss of identity and meaning of life.
Military life results in uncertainty and breaks in routine, which can cause family members to experience high anxiety, depression, PTSD and long-term mental health and wellness injuries. Many spouses feel it will hurt their military partner's chances of promotion if they would seek help for stress or depression.
People lower in agreeableness, neuroticism, and openness to experience during high school were more likely to enter the military after graduation. In addition, military training was associated with changes in personality. Compared with a control group, military recruits had lower levels of agreeableness after training.

By Bryan Wolfe Finding a job after leaving the military is almost never an easy task. Unless you're transferring into a civilian field that directly relates to your military experience, you will need to change fields in order to enter the civilian workforce.
Usually, you'll sign up for four years of active duty and four years inactive. After you've completed your active duty time, you can either extend your contract or re-enlist if you want to continue serving. Officers make up a much smaller part of the workforce.

Members receive retirement pay that is based on 50% of the average of the highest 36 months of basic pay after 20 years of service. An additional 2.5% is calculated for each additional year. Disability.
In fact, it's a tremendous asset with significant value. For the average retiring officer (let's say an O5 with 20 years), the military pension amount is valued at well over a million dollars.

Most first-term enlistments require a commitment to four years of active duty and two years of inactive (Individual Ready Reserve, or IRR). But the services also offer programs with two-, three- and six-year active-duty or reserve enlistments. It depends upon the service and the job you want.
Under BRS, you'll get the traditional monthly retirement pay for life if you serve for 20 years or more and earn a full retirement from the military.
You'll need to serve 20 years or more to qualify for the lifetime monthly annuity. Your retirement benefit is determined by your years of service. It's calculated at 2.5% times your highest 36 months of basic pay.
Key Takeaways. If you choose to live on base and the housing is government owned, the Department of Defense owns and manages the property and the service member doesn't pay rent.
Getting a Military Discharge
There is no way to simply quit the military once you are on active duty. You are contractually, and perhaps morally, obligated to see your commitment through. However, you could be discharged from duty early if you are physically or psychologically unable to perform your duties.
Desertion carries a maximum punishment of dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of all pay, and confinement of five years. For desertion during a time of war, however, the death penalty may be applied (at the discretion of the court-martial).
Top reasons cited for not wanting to join are the possibility of injury or death, and fear of developing PTSD or other psychological problems. But the pool of young people who meet the basic standards to enlist in the military is also shrinking.

The marriages of U.S. Armed Forces service members often fail because of infidelity on the part of one or both spouses. There are always stories of lonely military wives hanging out at clubs and cheating on husbands who are deployed.
Head injuries caused by bullet penetration, violent impact, or shock waves from explosive weapons are the main causes of military traumatic brain injury (TBI), which had long been under debate for being an organic disease (a neurological disease) or a functional disease (a psychiatric disorder).
Personality traits of an ESTP personality type are that of a thrill-seeker — perceptive and risky. They're smart, energetic, and make great leaders. ESTPs make good military officers because it involves being hands-on and working with others to solve problems.
Much like dogs, it is said that servicemen and women age at seven times the rate of civilians while on active duty.
The highest-paid military job is a general or admiral.
Generals and admirals average approximately $197,000 regardless of the branch of the military. These high-paying salaries are quite plush compared to the roughly $20,000 a year that a private earns.
Some employers see veterans as too rigid or formal. Other stereotypes include problems with anger management or post-traumatic stress. One way veterans can work to overcome the stereotype of rigidity is to prepare for interviews.
Some of the most popular benefits of joining the US military is the job training, educational assistance, steady paycheck, health coverage, and housing benefits. See a full list of the benefits here.
By law, government agencies must give veterans' preference over other applicants in the hiring process. It does not guarantee you'll get the job, but it's an excellent reason to explore your options in the federal workforce.

Q - Since it's almost that time of the year, Kevin observed that you really seem to enjoy your time during the Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction. He wondered if you get to test drive any of the cars, and what other car/racing interests do you have outside of NASCAR?
A - Kevin, I often get calls to evaluate vintage cars for folks. My first love is sports cars, including an MGB that is getting one of Bill Guzman's V6 conversions.
My best drive was when Ken Epsman asked me to drive his 1970 Mark Donahue/Penske Javelin at the Lime Rock Vintage Festival. That is me, pictured above.
George Follmer and Sam Posey were both there. My eyes filled-up when I was on the pace lap, looking at the infield hillside. That's where I had sat watching Mark race that very car against Sam in '70, and George had raced it in '71 and '72. It was a very emotional experience, and what a car to drive!
Q - Vicky in TX asked if NASCAR is getting too expensive for one-car teams to field and race against "the big guys?"
A - Vicky, the level of engineering and development at the biggest teams greatly reduces the chances of a small team being competitive...which makes it much more exciting when one of them has a great finish.
Q - Several readers including Karen in British Columbia asked about your weekly schedule during the race season. She imagines that it is just as hectic as the earlier interview comments from Steve Byrnes and Wendy Venturini. Can you let us in on it?
A - Karen, both Wendy and Steve have lots of off-track shows they are involved in during the week, while I broadcast practice and qualifying. That leaves me to prep for the race telecast, including garage time, time with our Fox Production folks, and sponsor appearances at dinners and track hospitality. During the week, my family says I spend too much time on the Internet and the phone chasing down vintage cars and parts. Mostly, it is spent on race research and includes surfing websites like this one so we can improve our TV coverage.
Q - Franna in TX asks what was the most difficult interview you ever had to do?
A - Franna, several times I have had to talk to Bobby Allison on-camera about his sons. As a father, its incredibly hard to imagine what life has been like for the Allisons. Bobby has always been gracious with his time, and candid with his comments. He is a good friend, and that makes my task easier...but it always leaves me with a lump in my throat and a great sense of loss.
Q - Both Makiki and Ann asked what was your most difficult moment on the air to report? They also both can't wait to hear you back on the air in February.
A - Thanks, Makiki and Ann. The 2001 Daytona 500 finish was a great moment for the Waltrip family, but we knew that Dale Earnhardt Sr. had crashed hard. No one would give us any sense of his condition beyond Ken Schrader's reaction which you saw on TV. We feared the worst, but hoped for the best...that maybe Dale was just knocked unconscious. Absent confirmation, I wasn't comfortable explaining what I thought could be true from what I was seeing and how people were reacting. That day still produces a great conflict of emotion.
Q - Lots of people asked about "the three amigos," and the fact that folks love to hear you, Larry, and DW call a race. How have you three developed such a good chemistry together?
A - We've known each other for twenty or more years. We're good friends, but most importantly, we all have a high respect for each other's experience and point of view. Our bosses at Fox, David Hill and Ed Goren, encourage us to have a good time, to inform, and to entertain. We love to go to work every day, and that means a lot.
Q - Tammy asks if you could please describe what goes on in the Fox booth during a race? She pictures "organized chaos," but says you, DW, and Larry Mac always manage to give us the race information we want and the camera angles to back it up. Like many Daly Planet readers, she wishes you could call all the races.
A - Tammy, so do we! Everyone filters out the "noise" and concentrates on the input needed for their task. I have the announcers in one ear, and the producer and director in the other. We have a statistician and a historian in the booth who hand us brief notes. Larry, DW and I maintain eye contact while watching both the TV monitors and the track. All this multi-tasking is very challenging, so getting it right is a big part of what makes it so much fun.
Q - Sally, Sophia and others are a bit upset. NASCAR's mantra is always "it's about the fans." Between the bad coverage on TV this season (not from Fox), the COT switch, the homogenizing of the driver's personalities, empty seats at the tracks, lower TV ratings and too many commercials...something must be done. What are your ideas?
A - Sally and Sophia, we have on-going discussions with NASCAR about your points. Strong rivalries, drivers showing personality without the fear of penalty, and an easily understood point system would help engage more fans in the sport.
Q - Matt has been a fan of yours since the TNN days with Neil Bonnett. What was broadcasting NASCAR back then on TNN like? How different is it now with Fox compared to those days?
A - Matt, thanks for mentioning Neil, he is still really missed. It was very different, it takes 200 Fox people on-site to televise a race and TNN did it with just 60. The biggest advantage is the computerized scoring and information flow. Back in 1991, the "points as of now" stat had to be figured with a paper and pen, and we only got a scoring rundown...every ten laps!
Q - A fan asked if you and Fox have considered what would happen in the event Sunoco became the object of serious criticism in the NASCAR garage? (Mike is also the CEO of New England Racing Fuel, a distributor of Sunoco racing fuels in the Northeast.)
A - I would voluntarily disclaim my potential conflict, but not shy away from the discussion. I'm glad NASCAR and Sunoco enjoyed a seamless transition to unleaded fuel...that was a big step. For the street, I see ethanol creating more problems than solutions. The Europeans have proven there are already more efficient options available...like biodiesel.
Q - Larry says last season's Daytona 500 ended with a dash to the checkers as a multi-car crash was ensuing behind the leaders. Do you believe that NASCAR should allow racing back to the yellow on the final lap of a race?
A - Larry, sorry for the pun...but its a no-win situation. NASCAR needs to have flexibility. We all want each race to end under green, if the track is safe in front of the leaders. I feel they made the best call they could that day under the circumstances. Maybe we could get two chances at a finish in Overdrive (a green-white-checker).
Q - Joe met you on Labor Day weekend about 11 years ago up at Loudon, NH when you were running your SCCA sports racer. Do you still have it, and do you still race it?
A - Joe, I sold the Valvoline car when we moved to North Carolina. The Fox/SPEED schedule and two children did not leave much time for racing. I'd like to do more vintage racing, and I've got my eye on a historic Trans-Am that I don't think Ed is ready to sell just yet.
Q - Sharon says you are one of the best in the business. She thinks its a shame we don't have more people like you in NASCAR. There have been a lot of changes in the sport over the last couple of years, what is one change you would like to see reversed, and why?
A - Thanks Sharon. I wish that ownership had been capped at three Cup teams. But, that horse is out of the barn, and with "satellite teams" and all, I fear we could one day have as few as eight real team owners.
Q - Alex wants to know if there is anyone that you would have liked to work with in the booth that you never had the chance to?
A - Alex, David Pearson and Richard Petty together in the booth would be really interesting. Each of them did a little TV, but not together.
Q - A fan asks what do you consider to be the most memorable moment of your broadcasting career? Also, is there anything left that you haven't gotten a chance to do as a broadcaster that you would still like to accomplish?
A - The 1998 Daytona 500 was a very special team effort. Our group did so much research so that Ned Jarrett, Buddy Baker and I could properly educate viewers on just how close Dale Earnhardt Sr. had come so many times before to winning. On your second question, I would like to help Darrell Waltrip win an Emmy, and to continue to be part of this great team for many years.
Q - Since we talked about the Barrett-Jackson event earlier, Patrick wants to know what amount of prep work do you do before the show? Also, what collector cars, past or present, have graced your personal garage and do you have a wish list?
A - Patrick, most of my prep was done in 40 years of owning, driving and working on these cars but I read and surf the web to improve my specific knowledge once we get the auction catalogue. Someday, I'll get a website up to showcase the cars I've enjoyed and what it cost to own them. From the '60 Chevy Impala I drove in high school to the new car I asked Santa to bring...there is always a wish list!
Q - Brian appreciates the fact that you make watching races fun, and have for many years. From your days as a pit reporter to the present, who has been your biggest inspiration to help you become who you are today?
A - Brian, there are three people who I owe more than I can every repay. Ken Squier, Barney Hall, and Ned Jarrett. Not just for the high standards they set as broadcasters and the doors they helped open, but for the life lessons I learned under their guidance.
Note from Mike: Thanks, John for this forum, and thanks to everybody for the questions. Merry Christmas, and we will see you in Daytona before too long!

Zero Hour For NASCAR Announcers
As we approach the Christmas break, the countdown clock over at Jayski.com is now telling us there are less than sixty days to the 2008 Daytona 500.
So far, we have seen a lot of press releases from the NASCAR TV partners about the past season, but almost none about the future.
In 2007, there were some notable issues in "TV land" with respect to on-air announcers. In the TV biz, they are simply called "talent." As we saw during the past eleven months, that word can quickly take on an ironic twist.
Mr. Doug Banks left his co-hosting duties on NASCAR Now after only a short time. It was a tough start for that new ESPN2 show. Banks returned to his highly successful radio career on The Doug Banks Show and does not seem to be any worse for the wear. His run certainly was interesting.
Ryan Burr from ESPN News was brought-in to fill this role, and did a fine job. He was the relief host for Erik Kuselias, easily the most controversial "talent" of the 2007 NASCAR season.
After having trouble hosting NASCAR Now in the studio, Kuselias was "auditioned" live in the ESPN Infield Studio at the track hosting NASCAR Countdown. That memorable performance was not repeated.
There has been no word from ESPN about the line-up of NASCAR Now for next season, or a date when the show will begin. With lots of changes behind the scenes on the ESPN Radio side, there may well be a better opportunity to use Kuselias and his extensive stick-and-ball knowledge...elsewhere.
Boris Said and Stacy Compton served as the NASCAR Now studio analysts, and Compton's down-home style was a sharp contrast to the biting tongue of Kuselias. Said merely treated Kuselias as a distraction, and laughed a lot. What these two drivers are doing for 2008 on TV has not been disclosed.
Something remembered by NASCAR fans was the sudden appearance of driver Bill Lester one weekend, who did all the NASCAR Now shows live in the ESPN studio and then was simply...gone. ESPN said it was "an experiment." Interesting.
Staying with ESPN, the host chair in the Infield Studio should be open for both the Nationwide and Sprint Cup races. Originally, ESPN said that Suzy Kolber was a fill-in, and her "appointment" to that position followed a long line of names like Musburger, Fowler, Bestwick, Massaro, and Kuselias who tried to fill that role.
The ESPN season is a long one, as Jerry Punch and company can attest. His team handled the entire Busch Series schedule, and then added the final seventeen NEXTEL Cup events. Maybe, we will see ESPN bring in some additional "relief talent" for the core TV crew. We noticed that they auditioned Brad Daugherty in the booth during a Busch Series race, and also used Allen Bestwick and Marty Reid to spell Jerry Punch during his vacation time.
A while back, I got several emails from TV friends saying Rusty Wallace was not returning to ESPN's NASCAR coverage. Almost immediately, I got several emails from ESPN saying Rusty Wallace was returning...and I was an idiot. That happens a lot.
We all had fun with "Eric Amarillo" and "David Gilligan," but Rusty did complete his first season without backing down from controversy and without missing an assignment. What the ramifications are of Dale Jarrett doing his "semi-retirement" tour this season are still to be seen.
One thing is for sure, with the entire Nationwide Series and seventeen Sprint Cup races, there are plenty of analyst slots on races, qualifying, and practice sessions for both Rusty and DJ to share in 2008.
The TNT guys are silent. Kyle Petty and Larry McReynolds did solid work, but what will become of Wally Dallenbach, Bill Weber, and Marc Fein remains to be seen. The tension on the pre-show set at TNT was so thick, you could cut it with a knife. Wouldn't someone like a Bob Jenkins or an Eli Gold at the helm shake-up that crew?
Over at SPEED, we are still awaiting official word on the line-ups of their big weekly NASCAR shows, although no significant changes seem to be on the way. Shows like Trackside, Victory Lane, and NASCAR Live seem to be working just fine.
The same is true of the Truck Series, with a solid broadcast team, and no rumored changes on the horizon. Although, Krista Voda is clearly on the verge of bigger things. Last season, she moved up to NASCAR on Fox as a pit reporter. Wouldn't it be interesting to see her directing some traffic from the Hollywood Hotel? Take that Suzy Kolber!
One interesting question will be if Kyle Petty returns to Tradin' Paint. One might believe that it would depend as much on his blood pressure as his desire to expand his TV career. Petty had some pretty big blow-ups with some NASCAR media types, and The Daly Planet has suggested that adding a fourth panelist like Randy Pemberton or Jeff Hammond might take the heat off Petty and not make things seem so "personal."
SPEED's "King of the Jungle" in NASCAR land is RaceDay. With most of the staff under contract, the questions really concern Rutledge Wood and Ricki Rachtman. Not only has this show grown in stature to become SPEED's highest profile NASCAR program, it has also spent a good part of the season matched-up head-to-head with both TNT and ESPN/ABC's pre-race shows. Make no mistake, this is the big time.
In looking for a feature reporter to balance the news-oriented Wendy Venturini, SPEED has tried several candidates. This season, it will be interesting to see if they go with a veteran like Pemberton, stay with the current dynamic duo, or bring in a fresh face to handle the non-racing feature reports.
Finally, here comes the program series that generates the most mail and the most comments each time it is mentioned. Inside NEXTEL Cup must be discussed once again. Changing gears for next season, it will be interesting to see if SPEED makes changes in the program format and the panel.
Many times on The Daly Planet over the course of the season, we have debated the pros and cons of having a host who was "encouraged" by the network to take the job, panelists who do not race in the races, and part-time panelists still wet behind the ears when it comes to solid NASCAR experience. There are lots of good points on both sides.
Love him or hate him, everybody knows Dave Despain. Michael Waltrip has just re-vamped his company, his teams, and will now be playing the second Toyota fiddle to Joe Gibbs. Schrader is still working on a combo-deal, but is not retiring. Greg Biffle is poised to make a solid run at a Championship. Those are some interesting personal dynamics at work when it comes to making forty weeks of memorable TV programs.
For all these shows, look for word to start slowly leaking out about confirmations of who is "in" and surprises of who is "out" during the days after the Christmas break. Network logistics are such that names and travel schedules and paperwork and production meetings are going to be all confirmed before January 1st.
One wild card who just emerged on the scene is John Kernan. As The Daly Planet mentioned in an earlier article, he has relocated to Chicago and ended his radio work for PRN and Sirius. Flying out of Chicago, Kernan could be just what the doctor ordered for several NASCAR TV vacancies that would compliment his current part-time NHRA schedule.
If you had an opportunity to suggest some change to the network executives, who would be included? We have now had some time to calm down after a tumultuous season on TV, and our heads are hopefully a little clearer. Tell us who would be "out" and why, and then who you would like to see "in" for next season.

Terrorism & Counterterrorism
Home Center for Terrorism & Security Studies Research & Education Terrorism and Counterterrorism
Faculty, students and research associates in the Center for Terrorism and Security Studies examine a broad range of research questions, from terrorist group decision-making to radicalization to strategies that encourage disengagement from violence.
Subject Matter Expert BIOS

Title: Bio-Markers and Counter-Messages: Measuring Individual Differences in the Influence of Extremist Propaganda and Counter-Messages
Funding Agency: Department of Defense
Description: The recent surge of trans-regional threats coupled with global interconnectivity have made the current operational environment increasingly dynamic and complex for the Department of Defense (DoD). Many contemporary battles are now fought off the battlefield; a campaign for the hearts and minds of people around the world, both allies and adversaries, hangs in the balance. Ensuring that the United States can adeptly and efficiently counter violent extremism messaging is critical to sustaining the United States' global security interests. However, to meet this challenge, researchers must understand and measure how messaging campaigns can shift the emotions, attitudes, motivations and behaviors of a variety of target audiences.
Specifically, using experimental methods we have found useful in the past, we propose 6 innovations surrounding these issues that will be both theoretically, and pragmatically useful to DoD and associated personnel;
1. Addressing the gaps in the existing research surrounding the psychological interaction of individual, extremist message and counter-message.
2. Apply a new theoretical framework to the role of extremist propaganda in the radicalization process (namely Behavioral Activation and Behavioral Inhibition; BAS/BIS).
3. Integrate psychometric, neurobiological and physiological measures of BAS/BIS as predictors of responses to exposure to extremist propaganda.
4. Empirically evaluate individual differences in BIS/BAS activation and behavior in response to exposure to extremist propaganda.
5. Measure short-term extremist-related cognitions and medium-term behavioral measures of interaction with extremist messages and counter-messages.
6. Empirically evaluate CVE messaging strategies on changes in BIS/BAS activation and behavior (as well as individual differences).
Title: Using Narrative Analysis to Detect Level of Threat in Online Expressions of Malicious Intent
Funding Agency: University of Massachusetts Lowell
Description: Researchers at the Center for Terrorism and Security Studies (CTSS) and the Department of Psychology seek to develop an inter-disciplinary collaboration that develops new data and expertise in a currently unstudied aspect of counter-terrorism. Specifically this proposal seeks to apply a novel form of narrative and discourse analysis to explore whether online expression of intent and ideology can be used to diagnose an individuals' intent to engage in extremist behavior. Researchers in the field of security studies have thus far been unable to make informed judgments about the risks posed by an individual based on the nature of their online activity and expressions of ideology. Furthermore, as a field we sorely lack any experimental methods to begin to explore this issue and develop theories and "markers" that could, with further research, be operationalized in the security domain. Therefore, this project will study the utility of exploring the syntax and discourse structure of an individual's online narrative in order to determine the risks that an individual might commit an act of terrorism. If meaningful patterns in the data can be found, this research will have implications for the prioritization and investigation of terrorist suspects. This proposal will leverage the CTSS internship (a immersive, student driven applied learning experience) alongside paid RA positions in order to build, and analyze, a large-n dataset of terrorist online narratives. These narratives will then be subjected to discourse analysis by trained undergraduate RAs.
Title: Hearts, minds and counter-messages: An experimental test of personality on reactions to extremist propaganda and counter-extremist messages.
Funding Agency: TSAS: The Canadian Network for Research on Terrorism, Security, and Society
Description: Practitioners, academics and society are turning their attention to the problem of "online radicalization." While the availability of terroristic material online is a significant security concern we have little insight into the effects of being exposure to such material. Instead we all too often, and without evidence, hold that exposure to terrorist propaganda online "causes" radicalization resulting in terrorist behavior. Linked to this is the view that "counter-messages" aimed at challenging extremist voices are central to an effective counter violent extremism (CVE) strategy. However, while counter-messages show significant promise for discouraging support for terrorism, there are few attempts to offer theory-based guidelines to construct them and no measures of their effectiveness (Braddock & Horgan, 2015). Currently counter-messages are not developed based on sound scientific principles, nor tested using empirical metrics of effectiveness. Thus, while some counter-messages have been well received and viewed as "effective" (e.g., Extreme Dialogues), others have been met with skepticism and viewed as unsuccessful (e.g., "Think Now Turn Away"). Efforts to develop credible and effective counter-messages currently lack data-driven support for their development, or evaluation. The fact that scientific research on deterrent messaging has shown that poorly developed counter-messages can cause a "boomerang" effect increasing negative outcomes rather than preventing them emphasizes the need for social science support in the development and evaluation of counter-messages aimed at countering the voices of extremists online. The goal of this research then, and building upon experimental work currently being undertaken by the PI, is to experimentally test the effectiveness of several difference types of counter-messaging campaigns.
Specifically this research seeks to investigate:
R1: Under what circumstances do CVE counter-messages mitigate the effects of extremist propaganda
R2: Under what circumstances do CVE counter-messages inoculate against the effects of extremist propaganda
R3: What combination of factors improves the effectiveness of some types of CVE counter-messages over others, and why?

Hydrogen boride sheets (HB sheets) were efficiently synthesized through wet chemical exfoliation of bulk MgB2. High production yield of HB sheets over 50% was achieved in 2 h reaction time by the addition of formic acid into the organic media with the presence of proton-exchange resin. Synthesized HB sheets exhibited two-dimensional nanostructure with sp2-like bonds.

Thawan Duchanee – Legendary Expressionist Artist
Thawan Duchanee (1939 – 2014) was a Thai contemporary artist renowned worldwide for his striking and powerful displays of modern Buddhist themes through surrealism, modernism and expressionism.
Born in Chiang Rai in September 1939, Thawan began his artistic education at the Poh Chang Arts and Crafts College. He then went on to study under the famous Italian sculptor Corrado Feroci (Silpha Bhilasri) at Silpakorn University.
Following further studies at Amsterdam's Royal Academy of Visual Arts, Thawan returned to Thailand and began to gain recognition for his unique style of red/white and black toned paintings. Though his rather dark and ominous works proved to be initially shocking to conservative Buddhists, his exhibitions went on to receive high regard throughout the kingdom and overseas.
With an extensive list of overseas exhibits and commissioned murals, including the Bank of Thailand, Doi Tung Palace and many more, Thawan became one of the most prominent Thai artists in the world.
His works have been exhibited in almost every corner of the globe, including the United States, Portugal, Malaysia, the Philippines, Australia, Japan, Switzerland, German, Indonesia, France and the Netherlands.
Most recently, in 2001, Thawan was deemed a National Thai Artist by the Office of the National Culture Commission of Thailand.
Thawan's Legacy
Following the artist's death in 2014, his work continues to be highly cherished objects of art, as well as serving as a testament of the splendor of Thawan's inspiring homegrown talent.
For those wishing to experience Thawan's legacy first hand, the Baandam Museum in Chiang Rai was designed by the artist and offers a look into the master's unique vision. The extensive grounds feature a gallery, gardens and awe-inspiring structures in the artist's signature style.

Red Star Over Iraq: Iraqi Communism Before Saddam
Johan Franzén
Political, Social and International Studies
Global & Transnational History
Recent outbreaks of sectarian and ethnic violence have thrown Iraq's stability into doubt, suggesting the country's politics are a farce and its political parties are nothing more than the protectors of ethnosectarian interests. Because of the artificiality of the Iraqi state and its absence of deep-seated political institutions, skeptics fear the country is destined to revert to primordialism, yet Iraq's present situation is largely the result of Saddam Hussein's infamous rule over the past three decades, exacerbated by the deprivations of international sanctions. Johan Franzén underscores the role of these destabilizing factors, arguing that before Hussein's ascent to power, diverse parties representing a variety of ideological platforms characterized Iraqi government. The largest and most important of these groups was the Iraqi Communist Party (ICP), the only true cross-sectarian party in Iraqi history drawing support from all of Iraq's communities. From its inception in 1934 to its demise at the hands of Hussein in 1979, the ICP continuously resisted various regimes and spread communist ideology throughout Iraq. At times the party achieved considerable success, though it ultimately failed to seize absolute power. Red Star Over Iraq analyzes this rich history to project a different picture of a future Iraq.
