"The Apostles of the Apostles"
Tradition of the Church called St. Mary Magdalene "apostola apostolorum" because the word apostle means messenger, but Bergoglio wickedly twisted the meaning of the word in an attempt to equate Mary Magdalene to the 12 apostles.
The messengers of the apostles: In the Scripture we see that God sends 3 groups to announce the Resurrection to the Apostles.
Mary Magdalene was not the first one but the first were the women who were there early to visit the tomb of Jesus which they found to be empty.
Mark 16: 7
But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you.”
But the Apostles did not believe them, then Jesus sent Mary Magdalene and they didn’t believe her and then He sent the two disciples on the road to Emmaus and the Apostles neither believe them.
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
9 [[Now after he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. 10 She went out and told those who had been with him, while they were mourning and weeping. 11 But when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.
Jesus Appears to Two Disciples
12 After this he appeared in another form to two of them, as they were walking into the country. 13 And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe them.

speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures.

Administrative detention (AD) is a procedure that allows Israeli occupation forces to hold prisoners indefinitely on secret information without charging them or allowing them to stand trial. The secret information or evidence cannot be accessed by the detainee nor his lawyer, and can according to Israeli military orders, an administrative detention order can be renewed for an unlimited time. The court issues an administrative detention order for a maximum period of six months, subject to renewal.
The practice of Administrative detention is linked to the political situation in occupied Palestine, and the Palestinian movement that protests against the continued Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967. Administrative detention is a punitive measure and is a political action that reflects the Israeli occupation’s official policy against Palestinians. Although the use of administrative detention in a widespread and systemic manner is prohibited under international law, the Israeli occupation uses administrative detention as a tool for collective punishment against Palestinians. The occupation continues to issue administrative detention orders against various segments of the Palestinian society in the West Bank including human rights activists, university students, lawyers, mothers of detainees and business people.
Palestinians have been subjected to administrative detention since the beginning of the Israeli Occupation in 1967 and before that time, under the British Mandate. The frequency of the use of administrative detention has fluctuated throughout Israel’s occupation and has been steadily rising since the outbreak of the second intifada in September 2000.
On the eve of the second intifada, Israel held 12 Palestinians in administrative detention. Only two years later, in late 2002 - early 2003, there were over 1000 Palestinians in administrative detention. Between 2005 and 2007, the average monthly number of Palestinian administrative detainees held by Israel remained stable at approximately 765. Since then, as the situation on the ground stabilized and violence tapered off, the number of administrative detainees has generally decreased every year.
As of December 2018, there were at least 482 administrative detainees in Israeli prisons, who are being held without charge or trial for an indefinite period of time, nine of whom are members of the Palestinian Legislative Council. During the year 2018, administrative detainees collectively started a boycott campaign of military courts. This boycott started in March 2018 and was paused in September 2018 in order to give time for negotiations between the prisoners and the prison administration. Though administrative detainees declared that if no changes were made by the beginning of 2019 they will resume to actions.
ADMINISTRATIVE DETENTION IN NUMBERS
The total number of administrative detainees in Israeli custody from January 2001 until December 2017. (Statistics are based on reports from the Israeli Prison Service, via B’Tselem, and on Addameer documentation)
2018 450 450 427 431 426 442 446 456 465 465 482
DETENTION CONDITIONS
Palestinians in Israeli administrative detention are now held under the jurisdiction of the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) and not the Israeli army, as was the case up to 2005. Administrative detainees in Israeli prisons are not separated from the rest of the prison population, without arrangements for food appropriate to their culture and/or religion and to allow them to practice their faiths. Prison personnel in most of the cases do not receive specific training on how to deal with administrative detainees and on international law regarding administrative detainees. Administrative detainees in Israel must endure severe restrictions on their right to education, rights to communicate with families and receive visits, and the right to adequate medical treatment.
At present, administrative detainees are primarily held in three Israeli prison facilities, all but one of which is located in 1967 territory:
Ofer Prison (located inside Ofer Military Base, south of Ramallah)
Ketziot Prison (also known as Ansar or Negev Prison; located in the Negev Desert, five kilometers from the border with Egypt)
Megiddo Prison (located inside a military base on the main Jenin-Haifa road)

How Angela Koch Has Made An Impact At The U.S. Money Reserve
The U.S Money Reserve has long been one of the largest private distributors of platinum, silver, and gold coins issued by the government.
Throughout its history, it’s gone through a variety of leadership changes, with each of these leaving an impact on the company as a whole. Currently, its CEO is Angela Koch, who has been in the position for several years and has had quite a large impact on the company during this time.
Read: U.S. Money Reserve Internship Program Celebrates Two Years | PR Newswire
As the only CEO in the precious metals industry, Angela Koch has had to overcome a variety of hurdles to get to the position she’s in now. However, her journey to the U.S. Money Reserve has been a somewhat unconventional one. Koch’s journey first began when she dropped out of college for various personal reasons. Not long after, she found herself married with several children with the family’s income being relatively tight.
As a result, Angela Koch found herself working two or three jobs at a time to ensure that she was able to make ends meet. During this time, she aimed to ensure that she understood as much as possible about the role she had, as well as how it fed into the company as a whole.
This meant that she understood how to perform her job to the highest level possible, which soon attracted a significant amount of positive attention.
By doing so, Angela Koch was soon able to receive a variety of notable positions and an increasing amount of success. During this time, she worked with a variety of companies, including a Jewish Foundation, despite being Christian, and KLA-Tencor, among others. Throughout this time, she never forgot her philosophy of learning everything she could about the company she was working with.
This is an approach that Angela Koch brought to the U.S. Money Reserve and which she’s passed on to each of the employees who work there.
As a result, she’s had a large impact on the company’s culture, much of which helps to set it apart from many other precious metals firms. In contrast to these businesses, which primarily act as sales organizations, the U.S. Money Reserve doesn’t.
One of the primary ways that the firm differentiates itself is through teaching its employees to be more than just sales agents. Instead of just selling, Angela Koch has led the firm to train them to go above and beyond for every client that they work with. To do so, there are a variety of things that employees will have to learn while at the company.
Some of the more notable of these include knowing the business inside and out, as well as knowing everything possible about the precious metals that they sell. Alongside this, Angela Koch has ensured that each employee knows how to run a system and how to ensure that they go above and beyond for their clients.

As a result of this, Angela Koch believes that the majority of the employees at the U.S. Money Reserve could lead the business should she ever depart.

A Great School With Great Staff And Diversity
Once upon a time, a man with the surname of Stevens established a school called Academy of Art University in 1929. The place has been in operation ever since then. The student body has grown, and it is now one of the most well-known art schools in the United States, as well as in the entire world. This beautiful, wonderful place houses students from all over the world.
Nobody is kept out on the basis of age, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual identity or gender identity. This shows in the numerous student clubs that have been set up to address the needs of specific demographics of the student body. There are various clubs that show a presence of minorities on campus.
San Francisco, the location of this top-rated school, is a prime location for artistic individuals. The infrastructure and architecture of the city are great to draw, sketch and make renditions of. The local vibes and culture are mentally stimulating—especially to those who are new to the city.
The estimated price of an undergraduate student’s annual tuition is about $26,000.00. Of course, it is generally more expensive than many community colleges and state universities. However, the resources and connections that you have access to make it worth your money.
The teachers are top-rated in their fields. You will not get a bunch of inexperienced, academia related individuals voicing their invalid opinions. Academy of Art University understands the importance of stocking their staff with people who have valid credentials and a good amount of work experience in their fields. Teachers who do not have real work experience may not be able to provide their students with realistic insights of the industries that they are teaching about. This is a problem for students who are serious about having real world knowledge.

Global Visionary Award Recipient And OSI CEO Sheldon Lavin
Sheldon Lavin, within the 1970s, made a fateful professional alteration, and that alteration was to leap from financial consultations into the sphere of the mass food production. Before ultimately gaining the Global Visionary Award, and also before joining up with his current food corporation, Mr. Lavin’s initial background was in financially oriented consultations. Learning of business practices while a Roosevelt University student positioned him perfectly for the founding of Sheldon Lavin and Associates; that was the firm that eventually allowed Mr. Lavin to come into contact with OSI Group, although they were titled differently back then, Otto & Sons, to be exact. In the prosperous years since, Sheldon has proven himself to actually be a decades long leadership success, who is clearly deserving of the admiration coming his way.
Learn about Sheldon Lavin at patch.com
What transpired, with regards to the OSI involvement from Lavin, was that his initial financial wisdom turned into full blown company leadership. Sheldon Lavin made the unthinkable rise, which ended up with him as Chief Executive Officer at this massive food and meat processing organization. Expansion came both rapidly and boldly with Sheldon Lavin at the OSI Group helm, and there exists a particular company environment within OSI that is clearly a direct result of stellar but unique manner of leadership which Mr. Lavin’s presence has ushered into the firm.
Man have praised, justifiably, Sheldon Lavin’s efforts concerning philanthropic contributions. Two prominent cases were his involvement with Ronald McDonald House and also his involvement with the deserving Jewish United Fund. No wonder the Vision World Academy bolstered his already wonderful leadership reputation with the bestowing of Sheldon’s prestigious Global Visionary Award. Clearly, that entity took notice of Sheldon Lavin for his unbending influence as a food industry leading individual and also for his ability to envision, as well as move towards, change.

JHSF ParticipacoesUnder the Leadership of Jose AuriemoNeto
Jose AuriemoNeto is a Brazilian businessman who currently serves as the chairman of JHSF Participacoes. The company was established by his father in the 1970s, and it focuses on construction, real estate, and property development. Most of the projects undertaken by the company under Jose AuriemoNeto’s leadership are the construction of residential buildings and commercial offices. When his father left the post as the company’s CEO, Jose AuriemoNeto took over. One of his priorities was the construction of more luxury residential buildings in the country. As the number of people who wanted to live in cities increased, JHSF Participacoes decided to build more residential towers that can be purchased by the middle and upper-class families. The residential complexes built by JHSF Participacoes are known for the high-quality of living offered to the tenants.
José Auriemo is interested in retail, and he initiated the construction of several malls that are owned by JHSF Participacoes. Some of the largest shopping malls in the country – like the CidadeJardim and the Metro Tucuruvi – are the ideas of Jose AuriemoNeto. He also led the construction of Ponta Negra Shopping Center which became the largest shopping mall in the Amazon. Knowing that retail can be beneficial to the company, he decided to sign a contract with the largest luxury brands around the world like Hermes and Gucci, among others. This partnership will open new luxury stores inside the malls owned by JHSF Participacoes.
Today, JHSF Participacoes is also venturing into other business sectors – they now have a chain of hotels, a restaurant, and an exclusive airport being built in Sao Paulo. The company under Jose AuriemoNeto managed to experience a lot of changes that benefited the company. Today, the company’s market value continues to increase. It is believed that José Auriemo Participacoes is currently priced at $1 billion. The company’s head is also focusing on expanding its operations overseas.

Dick DeVos and Talking Freely
Dick DeVos is a man who is fully in control of himself at all times. He never loses himself even for a minute. He’s consistently the epitome of pure composure. Luckily enough, he’s married to a woman who is a lot like him as far as temperament goes. Betsy DeVos is always as cool as a cucumber. Their behaviors may just rub off on one another. They tied the knot decades and decades back, after all. Couples often start acting similarly after a while.
Dick DeVos used to be referred to as “Richard.” Dick is a simple nickname for the businessman. He’s an individual from the Midwest who knows a lot about how life works. He learned so much from watching his father. The older DeVos was a huge part of the business world in the United States long ago. Although he worked in the country years ago, his influence remains strong and tangible to this day. He was a huge factor in the establishment of the esteemed Amway Corporation. The Amway Corporation is and has long been a massive marketing staple in the United States. Dick DeVos himself operated as the Chief Executive Officer of the company starting in the nineties. His time with it was up in the 2000s. He enjoyed a superb experience with the business. He realized, however, that he needed to move on and go after other ventures and concepts. He did so by teaming up with the Windquest Group. This business has operations all around the United States.
DeVos has a lot of interest in all sorts of topics. He’s undeniably well-rounded. He has a penchant for American politics, first of all. He even has a penchant for aviation. Airplanes have been captivating DeVos for his entire life. He was captivated by planes when he was a little boy in the Midwest. He’s still captivated by them as a mature adult and father. What exactly did he do with his captivation? He made the choice to put together a charter school that’s referred to as the West Michigan Aviation Academy. This school is in laid-back Grand Rapids, Michigan. Its Grand Rapids locale is no ordinary one, though. It’s actually situated within the metropolis’ airport, fascinatingly enough. That’s the reason that travelers come across it all of the time. The students who go to the West Michigan Aviation Academy are serious about going into aviation after they graduate. They want to be hard-working pilots. They even want to be hard-working engineers. DeVos beams with pride any time he even thinks about them. Some of the students are so enamored by air travel that they regularly travel hours to get to the school from their distant homes.
DeVos and his wife discuss educational matters with significant frequency. Since Betsy is the United States’ devoted Secretary of Education, this makes full sense. DeVos loves hearing his wife’s insight with regard to the complex American educational system. He even likes giving her feedback when he can. They talk freely.

HGGC Poised for Growth with New Promotions & Hires
Judging by their recent maneuvers, it seems that HGGC is one of the better companies when it comes to appropriately rewarding a job done well by internal talent. Following a strategic investment from Dyal Capital Partners that saw a huge infusion of cash into the company, they promoted ten individuals inside the firm to handle new responsibilities brought on by this sudden growth potential.
Lee Brown will now serve as the Chairman of the Board on the Fund III investment agency formed by HGGC when they bought into Nutraceutical International Corporation. He used to head up the firm’s Fund II investment in Dyanta as well as Serena Software.
Considering the recent interest in organic products and natural cures, HGGC had also once bought into Innovative and MyWebGrocer. John Block, who has been with the equity firm since 2010, managed these now exited investments. He’s received a promotion and will handle the Fund III investment in Mi9 and HelpSystems.
After Monotype’s take-private, HGGC continues looking at public markets for deals https://t.co/cEYIP4XxZJ pic.twitter.com/CBFvubuZJQ
— Buyouts (@Buyouts) October 18, 2019
Steven Leistner and Harv Barenz have been with the company since 2009 and 2008 respectively. They will now play a much larger role in the company’s management. Since both of them have a great deal of experience with HGGC, they can be trusted to handle day-to-day operations with the knowledge of insiders.
All told, 10 different people received major promotions from inside. The firm, however, didn’t stop there and has now announced that they’re going to bring five new faces to their team.
Greg Caltabiano, Mo Gulamhusein, Chandni Shah and Holland Reynolds all have very internationally-focused resumes. That makes them uniquely capable to deal with the challenges faced by companies competing in a global economy. As HGGC continues to expand into new industries, this kind of experience will become increasingly important.
On top of this, they’re bringing on Lindsay Sparks who used to serve as an officer with Microsoft. Few companies have the massive reach that the software giant does, which means that Sparks should prove more than able to deal with all of the issues that a modern equity company needs to deal with.
With this new team, it looks like HGGC should continue to grow for the foreseeable future.

Marc Beer: Why Renovia?
Over the last 25 years, Marc Beer has proven his entrepreneurial prowess countless times. He founded his first company in 2000 and sold it seven years later for $300 million. That’s an amazing opening act to a career that only gets better the more research and development he has under his belt.
Before 2000, Marc Beer worked at Genzyme. He joined Genzyme after graduating from Miami University, and he was completely new to the pharmaceutical sales and marketing industry. Despite his green experience, Beer had a knack for marketing and quickly rose to the position of Vice President of Global Marketing.
As Vice President, it was Beer’s responsibility to get the company’s product line in front of more than 350 million people all over the world. While 350 million sounds like a lot of people; it’s nothing compared to nearly seven billion living back then. Still, Beer was successful.
He found such satisfaction in helping those medically underserved that he thought he could do more if he owned his own company. In 2000, he founded ViaCell, his first company. ViaCell used umbilical cord blood stem cells to develop dozens of treatments for all sorts of conditions. He later sold that company to PerkinElmer.
After his first sale, his career and life took a crushing blow, as his wife passed away suddenly. Lost, Beer found inspiration in raising his three kids. Two years after his wife passed, Beer rejoined the workforce and started working with Dr. Ray Iglesias.
Dr. Iglesias was a gynecologist who spent much of his career performing pelvic floor surgeries. Until recently, surgery was the only option for almost 25 percent of women in the U.S. living with pelvic floor disorders. Dr. Iglesias always believed there had to be a better way, and ten years ago, he began developing a concept to help women avoid surgery. Learn more: https://patch.com/massachusetts/boston/renovias-marc-beer-raises-42m-treat-womens-health-issues
Once his vision was developed enough, he brought the idea to Marc Beer. Inspired to help women avoid any serious medical issues and how quickly he lost his wife, Beer formed a lasting partnership with Dr. Iglesias. Later, they brought in Yolanda Lorie and founded Renovia.
Today, Renovia is leading the industry in innovative and proprietary sensor technologies that help women with pelvic floor disorders. The company also had its first product, Leva, approved by the FDA in 2018. More recently, Renovia acquired $32 million in funding from a Series B round of funding.

The Bishop's Vestments
Greetings and salutations.
Today I will be talking about the character I portray in re-enactment, Thomas de Velmont, Bishop of L'Aquila, Knight of St Michael.I will be paying particular attention to how my representation of the bishop's vestments has evolved and improved over time.
I was interested in costume before I became a re-enactor. I have been an artist since I could hold a pencil and developed a liking for science fiction & fantasy books. Due to the machinations of my dear elder brother, Phil, I was also introduced to science fiction conventions and went to my first one in 1987. I borrowed a military jacket and a long orange scarf (as a sash) and entered the masquerade as Ensign Flandry.
What has this to do with the bishop? Well, this was my first masquerade and I liked it. So, when I went to my next convention (Wincon) in 1992, I wanted to have a costume to wear. I had just read Katherine Kurtz Deryni trilogy, which has some wonderful descriptions of church ritual and vestments.and the cover of Camber the Heretic shows a bishop being consecrated.
I was going to Winchester; I knew about William of Wykham. Thus I would make a bishop costume.
The problem was I knew nothing about making clothes and very little about church vestments. I sought my mother's help and, together we came up with this.
As you can see the alb is not full enough and we misinterpreted the chasuble as a sort of over cape. The mitre was a round hat with the front and back sections (stiffened with card) glued to the cardboard hat band.
I met Helen McCarthy and Duchess Kate at Wincon and they were impressed that I knew some Latin and could quote some of the litergical phrases from Katherine Kurtz. They told me about the Far Isles and urged me to join. I was still a little unsure about this.
In the end I didn't join until 1993, but some people later told me that everyone thought I must already be a member because I came to my first revel with my own kit. I decided my persona would be a priest and picked the worst name I could think of for a clergyman, Tom Devilment, which I then refined to Thomas de Velmont.
In the meantime, I had been to the first British Costume Convention, Masque, and had re-made the bishop's costume, re-using a piece of artwork I had made at art school (based on a cope in the V &A) for Masque 2 in 1993. I was awarded Best Workmanship (Novice)..
You will observe that I have remade the mitre with a gusset and have added an ormfrey and saints. I now have a tunicle, gloves and appliqued slippers.
My plan in the Far Isles was to be suffregan bishop sent by a cardinal to report on the state of the church.
Unfortunately, I soon discovered that I could not make my character a bishop ( not even a Suffregan bishop), as this was regarded as noble title and nobility could only be conferred by the head of society for service to the society. Thus, I set aside my mitre and spent many years as the Monsignieur.
After some years in the Far Isles, I attended my first battle re-enactment at Tewkesbury. This led to my joining the Medieval Siege Society and, free from any constraint in that field, re-enacting as a fighting bishop.
I started off as Bishop of Aquila,as I had seen the film Ladyhawk and knew they were short a bishop. After a while, however, I discovered that there is city in Italy called L'Aquila, which as two cathedrals and decided to translate there. I encounted the Paladins of Chivalry and joined. Thus,at one point I was a member of three medieval societies.
I still re-enact, and fight, as the Bishop of L'Aquila
I discovered that I quite liked embroidery, as long as it had a practical application. I also found a quite good book on church vestments and in 1999, I presented this set of vestment at Masque 7. The ormphries , morse and hood of the cope have embroideries based on the evangelists' beasts from the Book of Kells, as well as four heraldic embroideries. The mitre is edged with pearls and includes a 'angel hair' quartz on the front ormphrey. The swan's head crosier was carved by my friend, Martin de Sutton.
I now had a full set of bishop's vestments; Alb, cincture, stole, maniple stole, tunicle, gloves, cope and mitre, as well as a chasuble for mass. I had found a mass in Latin and produced a truncated version for use at re-enactments ( always making sure everyone was aware I was not, and am not, an ordained minister in any modern religious organistion, but would always perform with appropriate solemnity) I had also done research into the wedding service according to the Sarum Rite and was asked to carry out a service for two of my friends in the MSS.
The plan was for them to be offically married in the Registry office in Ludlow, with us all in kit, and then to process to the (deconsacrated) chapel in Ludlow castle, where I would marry them in persona. It all went to plan and only one of the congregation sniggered when the bride had to promise to be 'Bonner and buxom in bedde and at board'.
The event was televised by(I think) Central Television. I was promised a copy of the programme, but never got it.Indeed, I only saw one of the two episodes I starred in , due to another friend having recorded it.
I became a dab hand at battlefield mass and , on several occasions, was complemented by catholic members of the public, one even saying I group was lucky to have an actual priest..
After years of service, I was made noble in the Far Isles becoming Bishop of Freemark
I also made myself some day robes, consisting of a cassock and rochet.
The latest set of vestments I have made was in 2003 and was presented at Costume Con in the US. A friend of ours had managed to get hold of some ecclesiastical fabrics that had been relegated to seconds due to weaving , or dieing faults. I also wanted to try some beadwork and goldwork.. Consequently, the ormpheries of the cope and the mitre are both enhanced with beads and pearls and there is a goldworked chi-rho and badges on the tunicle.
I wore these vestments for my second medieval wedding at Lulworth Castle. This achieved a half page spread in national newpapers.
Finally, I made a new day robe from silk brocade, a houpelande with velvet gards, as the bishop is sometimes called upon to dance at re-enactments. He dances; he's just not meant to enjoy it.
If you are wondering about he mask, it is due to the fact that this photo was taken at a masked ball at the V&A, rather than at a re-enactment, but it does show the houpelande rather well!
Anyhow, thats more than enough for now..

Sylvester Stallone Drops Out Of ‘The Expendables 4’!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Mar 31st, 2017
Sylvester Stallone is in the news today, this time for dropping out of ‘The Expendables‘ franchise. He had quite a bit of time and creativity invested in the project as he co-wrote and directed the first installment then proceeded to co-write the other two films in the series.
Dave Bautista Has An ‘Escape Plan’ With Sylvester Stallone!!!
It looks like ‘Escape Plan 2‘ is officially a go and Sylvester Stallone will be back on screen as Ray Breslin, the man who wrote the book on structural security. In the first film from 2013, he found himself set up and incarcerated in the world’s most secret and secure prison, he has to use his skills to escape with help from the inside. The sequel will not see Stallone alone though, Dave Bautista is on deck to join Sly this time around.
Sylvester Stallone to play ‘The Godfather’!
Is it true? Is Sylvester Stallone coming to television? Yes he is, and he will play the lead role of Raymonde Aprile, the last great American mob boss. I can’t wait to see Stallone play a sadistic bad guy. Not only that, ‘Training Day‘ and upcoming ‘The Magnificent Seven‘ director Antoine Fuqua will direct the series. The show is based off of ‘Omerta‘, which was the final novel from Mario Puzo, who famously wrote ‘The Godfather‘.
Sylvester Stallone Announces ‘Rambo 5’!!
Despite being 68 years old, Sylvester Stallone is still game for boxing his way for a title fight as well as taking on an army of bad guys. That’s right, the two more iconic roles the actor is known for will be back on the big screen within a couple of years. I am of course talking about ‘Rambo‘ and ‘Rocky‘.
Sylvester Stallone In Talks for a ‘Rambo’ TV Series!!!
Entertainment One and Avi Lerner’s Nu Image production companies have teamed up to develop a TV Series based on ‘Rambo‘, that starred Sylvester Stallone four times already. Stallone is in talks to join the project, and once thing are set in motion, Stallone along with his the execs will shop it to the networks.
Sylvester Stallone Announces the Final Cast for ‘Expendables 3’!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Aug 19th, 2013
Sylvester Stallone in the studio executives have announced the final cast for ‘Expendables 3‘. We have updated you throughout the casting process over the past few months, and we’ve confirmed most of the decisions, and even have seen a major name (Bruce Willis) leave the project in a glorious fashion. The film has begun shooting today in Bulgaria and will release one year from now, specifically August 15th.
Check Out The Trailer for ‘Escape Plan’, Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone!!!
It’s finally happened. Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger are finally in a film together where the two of them are the main stars. ‘Escape Plan‘ is set to release in October of this year and actually screened at Comic Con a month ago. It received mixed reviews, but everyone seemed to enjoy it overall, especially Schwarzenegger’s performance.
‘Fruitvale Station’ Duo Ryan Coogler And Michael B. Jordan Team With Sylvester Stallone On ‘Rocky’ Spinoff, ‘Creed’!!!
In what might be the best news of the day, MGM has set director Ryan Coogler along with actor Michael B. Jordan in developing a spinoff ‘Rocky‘ film called ‘Creed‘. Don’t worry, Sly Stallone will reprise Rocky again as a retired boxer, now trainer for Apollo Creed’s grandson, which will be played by Jordan. Coogler and Jordan most recently collaborated on the amazing film ‘Fruitvale Station‘, which you can read that review HERE.
Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro Will Step Into The Boxing Ring Once Again!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Oct 14th, 2012
Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone will fight each other in ‘Grudge Match’ for Warner Bros. Kevin Hart will play the fight promoter who retrieves these two old and retired boxers to step in the ring one last time. Peter Segal will direct with ‘Entourage’ creator Doug Ellin working on a the latest draft of the script. So Balboa vs. La Motta, huh? Not sure whether to laugh or be excited about this. I just hope the tagline is, “No matter who wins, we all lose.”
Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, and James Franco Team Up For Action Film!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Jul 31st, 2012
James Franco will join Jason Statham for a film called ‘Homefront’. It will be directed by Gary Fleder (Runaway Jury) and was written by Stallone. Stallone and Statham star in both ‘Exependable’ films. Stallone will also be producing the film. Franco knows no bounds and will be in every movie and genre. I like that about him.
‘Rambo: New Blood’ Is Coming To Reboot Franchise Without Stallone!!!
by Red Zeppelbon on Oct 28th, 2016
If they make a Rambo movie in the jungle and Sylvester Stallone isn’t in it, did it really happen? This might be the question on some minds as we learned ‘Rambo: New Blood‘ is the title of brand new reboot of the property that will NOT include Sly. At this point in his career he needs it all: new blood, hair, hips whatever, but I digress.
Chuck Norris and Van Damme Join Stallone’s ‘Expendables 2’ With Nic Cage and John Travolta Being Courted!!!
Hi Bryan Here….
So the huge action packed star studded insane action film ‘Expendables’ is getting a sequel. If you saw the last film, you might have noticed Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger in a small and short cameo appearance. We reported last time that both Arnold and Bruce will be back for the sequel with much larger roles. Well Sly Stallone has confirmed that he has got Jean Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris to sign on and come aboard which is turning out to be the biggest most epic action film EVER.
Stallone Might Let Someone Else Direct and write His Expendables Sequel!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on Mar 9th, 2011
I had a hell of a good time with The Expendables. It was kind of an ultimate action film winking at previous action films along the way. All the characters were set up brilliantly in the first film and I look forward to a sequel. But this time, according to the LA Times, Stallone is looking to hand over his directing and writing duties to others.
Blu-ray Review: ‘First Kill’!
by Gumbercules9000 on Sep 3rd, 2017
In addition to Bruce Willis starring in a ton of mega-budget action films over the years, Willis has also been starring in direct-to-video movies that many of you have never heard of. Three of these films have been directed by a guy named Steven C. Miller, who is in line to direct the sequel to Sylvester Stallone’s Escape Plan. Anywho, this film is called ‘First Kill‘ and pits Bruce Willis as the bad guy here, which is something we don’t often see play out in other films. If that comes as spoiler to you, don’t let it, because Miller has a difficult time in playing the con game with his audience.

Connecticut Health Investigative Team (http://c-hit.org/category/environmental-health/)
Connecticut Department of Public Health
By Christine Woodside | January 15, 2020
On a sunny, cool day as fall gave way to winter, a team of biologists and technicians dragged white cloths through the underbrush at Lord Creek Farm in Lyme. They were looking for blacklegged ticks, which carry Lyme disease and four other deadly illnesses. As ticks attached to the cloth, the team counted them and put them in jars for further study at their lab at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station in New Haven. Japanese barberry bushes grew thickly beneath the trees at this private horse farm that for years has cooperated with Lyme disease researchers. As the group dragged cloths, they noticed ticks on each other’s pant legs and coats, and began to pick them off.
Citizen Scientists Steer Efforts To Jumpstart Black Rock Harbor’s Recovery
By Christine Woodside | October 4, 2019
At 6:25 a.m. on the cloudy, humid first day of summer, two teenage aquaculture students huddle at the back of their school boat as it backs away from a dock in Black Rock Harbor in western Bridgeport. Charlotte Hickey grips a heavy cylindrical metal probe that is about a foot and a half long. The students call this “the beast.” It contains electronics that precisely measure water conditions. Sienna Matregrano holds a clipboard and pen, ready to record depth, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, fluorescence and turbidity. Both girls are seniors at Bridgeport Regional Vocational Aquaculture School.
Cost Of Modernizing Century-Old Infrastructure Means Foul Spills At Black Rock Harbor Will Go On For Decades
On the west and east sides of narrow Black Rock Harbor in western Bridgeport, industry, school, recreation and sewage treatment converge. At the most inland tip are Santa Energy’s oil tanks. On the east side stretch asphalt runways at Pratt & Whitney’s test airport and a city landfill. On the west side stand O & G Industries sand and stone yard, an empty industrial building, a city landfill, a trash-to-energy plant, the regional aquaculture high school, a seaport, shops, a restaurant and sailing teams’ docks. Last on this list is the Bridgeport West Side Water Pollution Control Facility, the city’s largest sewage treatment plant, which began work this year on a 20-year plan to correct chronic overflows.
Dead Fish, Condoms, Brown Foam: Sewage Has Chokehold On Black Rock Harbor
On April 25, 2018, Patrick Clough walked onto a dock at Fayerweather Yacht Club on Black Rock Harbor in western Bridgeport. He looked down. Swirling around the dock was a brown, foamy slick. Women’s sanitary products and other objects floated in it. He posted a photo of the discharge on two Black Rock neighborhood Facebook pages, writing “This is disgusting.”
A week before Clough captured that photo, equipment malfunctioned at the Bridgeport West Side Water Pollution Control Facility.
How Much Plastic Is In Your Body? Scientists Turn To Oysters, Mussels For Clues
By Christine Woodside | December 26, 2018
J. Evan Ward knelt on a dock jutting into Eastern Point Bay at the eastern end of Long Island Sound and hauled up a floating cage containing oysters. These oysters came here from nearby Mason’s Crab Cove and serve as the resident population for lab studies that Ward, a professor of marine sciences, conducts at the University of Connecticut Avery Point. He studies these and other oysters and sediment gathered on boats operated by Norm Bloom and Sons of Norwalk. Oysters are master water filterers.
Mold Concerns Rise With The Sea Level
By Christine Woodside | July 24, 2018
A day after Hurricane Sandy hit, Nancy Arnold waded down her basement stairs and saw five feet of storm surge partially submerging her furnace and hot water heater. After the water eventually retreated, and the local fire department pumped out the rest, Arnold had another worry: mold. A husband and wife who had done painting for the Arnolds showed up and offered to wash the home’s lower level with bleach. “Where would I have been without that,” Arnold wondered this summer, “because they knew about the mold, and they Cloroxed the whole basement. If there’s another storm, I don’t know if they’re up to do that again.”
Arnold has lived in her house near the end of Whitfield Street in Guilford since 1962. She and her family evacuated to a local community center for six hours during the worst of Sandy’s tempest.
As Lead In Children Persists, State Lawmakers Look To Tackle Risks
By Jenifer Frank | March 15, 2018
With Connecticut children testing positive for lead at consistently high numbers, and millions of dollars thrown at the problem with tepid results, lawmakers may finally be stepping up to seek an effective solution. The Banking Committee is considering a bill that would create a task force to study better ways to finance the removal of the toxin from thousands of homes around the state. The task force would also investigate how to enforce abatement measures, including rental property inspections, and look into increasing workforce training in the specialized process needed to remove lead. State Department of Public Health (DPH) numbers from 2015, the latest available, show more than 72,000 children under the age of 6 testing positive for some level of lead in their blood. More than 900 children were at levels two to four times the baseline at which a child is considered poisoned.
As Lyme Disease Spreads, Danbury Lab Focuses On Diagnostic Tools
By Christine Woodside | February 22, 2018
For nearly nine years, scientists inside the boxy brick Western Connecticut Health Network Research Center have been working to develop a more accurate test to diagnose the scourge of the Connecticut woods: Lyme disease. Lyme disease is carried by the tiny blacklegged tick, commonly known as a deer tick. When a blacklegged tick infected with Lyme bites a human, it can transmit a tiny microscopic organism, called a spirochete, that moves around the human body, evading easy detection. Researchers in Danbury have been trying to detect that spirochete, similar to those that cause syphilis and other diseases, in people’s blood. Pathology research scientist Donna Guralski powered up her microscope and computer recently to show the culprit: a fluorescent green corkscrew-shaped organism that twisted around the screen, just as it would burrow through a person’s blood vessel walls and into tissue.
Report: 27 Facilities Using Hazardous Chemicals Pose Risk To Thousands Of Low-Income Neighbors
By Adam Wisnieski | December 13, 2017
There are 27 facilities in Connecticut that use such large quantities of hazardous chemicals that they are required to submit disaster response plans to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. About 170,000 people—roughly 5 percent of the state’s population—live within a mile of these facilities, risking exposure to a leak, explosion or adverse health effects. Low-income people and children of color under the age of 12 are more likely than their white counterparts to live in these “fenceline” communities, according to a report by the Center for Effective Government. In its report “Living in the Shadow of Danger: Poverty, Race and Unequal Chemical Facility Hazards,” the center examined more than 12,500 facilities in 50 states, grading states based on the “disparities faced” by people living adjacent to or near these facilities. The center reported that children of color under age 12 living in the state were 2.2 times more likely than white children to live within a mile of one of these facilities. In many instances, residents are unaware of the dangers just blocks from their homes, the report said.
Drowning Can Be Averted, But State Water Safety Funds Have Shrunk
By Christine Woodside | August 31, 2017
Trying to walk out to Charles Island at Silver Sands State Park in Milford this summer, George Swaby drowned after he and a friend were swept up in a fast current off a sandbar. Beachgoers watched as a boater rescued his friend that Friday, July 21. The body of Swaby, 28, was not found for two days. Compounding the tragedy was that it happened in sight of the beach, although outside the swimming area. “It was our goal to guard that beach from Thursday through Sunday,” said Dennis Schain, spokesman for the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.

Friday Favorites!
Friday Favorites for October 5, 2012
Photo: www.finalcall.com
The week was filled with so much inspiring, interesting, thought-provoking, fun and tragic news. It was hard to select my favorites. But homecomings won out in my selections.
The first two are homecoming pieces centered around the Honorable Minister Farrakhan. One was for him and the other for me.
Harlem Homecoming! Black community must change to have peace, Minister stresses in powerful N.Y. Messages
By Askia Muhammad-Senior Correspondent
Minister Farrakhan visited New York fresh off a Caribbean tour where he met with the president of Cuba and the prime minister of Jamaica. His September 25 return to the streets of Harlem were reminiscent of the 10-year span (1965-1975) when he headed Muhammad Mosque No. 7, Bro. Askia writes. Min. Farrakhan became a follower of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad under the voice of Malcolm X.
“I am so happy to be home, where it all began,” Min. Farrakhan said to more than 1,000 gatherers.
My other favorite is about Minister Farrakhan’s October 3 address from Southern University A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!! That was a homegoing for me..that’s right. Southern Girl all the way. Before finding the Nation of Islam and moving to California, I attended SU. Go Jaguars! It was on that campus that Mr. Johnson, our African Studies professor, introduced me to the Autobiography of Malcolm X.
Muslim? What’s that I thought. What’s an X?? Prof. Johnson did more for me with that one class than he’ll ever know. Maybe he does? But, he’d have the boys attend class in bow ties, not pin ons, but they actually had to tie the neck ties. The girls had to dress in skirts, no pants. Odd we thought back then. Today I see he was just pointing us to civilized dress styles and setting the tone for our speech and thoughts as future leaders.
Min. Farrakhan spoke from the Mini Dome, the same evening as the first U.S. Presidential debate. I went for the spiritual guidance rather than the political ramblings of two candidates who promise as they may, cannot avert the fall of America.
Replay of Min. Farrakhan’s address.
Until next Friday, I hope you enjoy these favorites. Please, spread the word and the link to Min. Farrakhan’s address in Baton Rouge and Bro. Askia Muhammad’s article on Min. Farrakhan’s New York homecoming.
Thank you Bro. Askia and The Final Call Production and NOI IT staff for making these my Friday Favorites! Remember,
"If it’s impacting your community or can uplift us as a people, let’s talk about it!"
Peace! Sis. Charlene

Minion Master's Monday - Let's experiment together!
How was your weekend? We sure hope amazing! Now, Mondays are usually where we outline the week that lays in front of us internally and set specific goals. And for this week, our Community Management has planned to start a little experiment regarding feedback & suggestions. Interested?
...on multiple platforms. We have the Steam forums, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, and Discord plus the in-game chat. That makes for six active communication channels we're watching, already. If we count the Dwarf streams in, we're talking about seven active communication channels every 2 weeks (formerly weekly). Sometimes, catching all the feedback and suggestions can be quite a task, especially in real-time chats like in-game or on Discord.
Just naturally, users start to talk about feedback or suggestions from others. And we appreciate that because discussions can often time lead to even more - or to more detailed - feedback/suggestions. In real-time chats, however, catching your voice can be hard and there's even a chance of overlooking something. How do we solve that? Well, let's experiment first ;)
For the next 4 weeks, we want to invite you to use a platform called STOMT. Okay, okay. Slowly. What is that? Well, STOMT is basically a feedback hub that can help to manage and understand communities and their needs better. It’s kinda similar to Twitter in some way and the appearance is reminiscent of social media networks. There’s a feed where "Stomts" are shown publicly, and users can comment and vote. Basically, a Stomt is nothing else than a post on any other platform, only that you either choose to appreciate something (I like Minion Masters because...) or wish something (I wish Minion Masters would...). You can also attach pictures or share your Stomts easily on other platforms. Ever wanted to create a movement around your ideas? Now's the time ;)
Please note that posting a Stomt doesn't require you to sign-up, nor do votes. Commenting, however, needs you to be registered. We'd like to encourage you to register yourself because we'd like to see at least an alias behind an idea. The full functionality of the platform is another incentive. Also, the STOMT page of Minion Masters is moderated and uses the same rules as the Steam forums and Reddit for that purpose. You can find these rules right here.
The biggest advantage of STOMT – and something we want to test in-depth with you – is to bring the whole community for the purpose of feedback and suggestions together in one place, whereas the current channels are spread and decentralized. That doesn't mean we do not want you to post feedback or suggestions anywhere else! For the purpose of testing this platform though, we'd appreciate being vocal there. An example that came to our minds was that you could suggest changes to the Battle Pass in-depth on the Steam forums - for instance - and write a short suggestion on STOMT, also.
STOMT gives you an easy way to let us know what you wish and/or like, while others can interact with your feedback and suggestions. The platform offers us many useful tools and ways to gather, evaluate and quantify your voices. Currently, the feedback process behind the scenes has to be maintained for single platforms that are not connected with each other. STOMT could become the new main hub for feedback, while we will continue to observe our other communication platforms, of course. There's also the possibility to integrate STOMT in Minion Masters and our Twitch streams, even Discord. But for the purpose of this initial test, we will not do that. We want to keep it simple for now. Now it's up to you, Masters! Give us your feedback and suggestions on STOMT.

Cobia on cloudy days
You don't need clear skies and calm seas to catch 'em, but it helps. I had a customer who found this on youtube.com from a cloudy day last May. I'm ready!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqNRAql9E9k

It's about time for some pics
Just got these from Tim Thompson and his recent trip to Costa Rica. That is a huge sailfish caught on The Bite and a nice rooster with Enrique's son Michael.

I need to get out on the water.....
......but rainy days in the office have been productive. Response from our Spring Newsletter has been really good. I strongly encourage you to book your drum trips now!!!! I'm geared up for the Roanoke River, but will be making a quick trip down to Costa Rica to solidify a lot of reservations for 2012. That's right, 2012. To get on the Dragin Fly or any of the Fly Boats during the peak of the season, I encourage you to let us start building you a custom Costa Rica package soon. During the Green Season in Costa Rica, May through the November, there are plenty of openings and plenty of deals. It's a great place for a family summer vacation. I do have a few openings for Argentina duck and dove hunting in July and Costa Rica tarpon fishing in October. If you have any questions or need any additional info, I'll be around all week.......looks like it's going to rain again tomorrow......I think that I'm about due for a day of fishing in the rain.
Report from the Neuse
Capt. Gary and Capt. Brian report good catches of stripers on the Neuse today, also a few trout.
From Capt. Brian..."We ended up catching 34 stripers, 1 trout for the
day.............they were very pleased. B."
Capt. Greg reports
good catches of shad on the Roanoke, best bite was on the fly, a 100+ fish day
FYI from Capt. Gary Dubiel
"catching and tagging specks at will with fish up to 25 1/2 inches, catching pups to 25 inches and a few flounder all out of Oriental. New Bern remains good for stripers and a variety of fresh water fishes."
---Gary
He just updated his calendar with us. Drop us a line and we'll get you out on the water.
Capt. Joe Ward says.....
......"Shad fishing is for those people who can't catch trout.".
After a few warm days, the water temps are rising and recent reports from Joe and Capt. Gary Dubiel indicate that a lot of trout made it through the freeze. Good news!
If you're tough enough to fish with the animal.....
From Capt. Brian on the Run Off:
"25-30 NE was what it blew on us yesterday offshore. 8-12 ft about every 6 seconds................Yellowfins, blackfins and wahoo made
the trip back to the dock with us. They are arriving. "
rumors of cobia catches are coming in from the nearshore wrecks, it's time for them to start showing up there. These warm temps could make it happen early again this year. If the weather is nice and you can get out a few miles there is no telling what you could get into.
Offhsore the guys are doing good with the tunas and a few dolphin and wahoo.
These warm temps are getting things cranked up at the Roanoke, stripers are in the river and making their way up to Weldon.....
Why is the fishing so good......
.....when I leave town? Caught 15 sails and 3 big tuna up to 100+ pounds yesterday
meanwhile in Costa Rica
The guys caught 25 sails yesterday.
Offshore fishing firing off in MHC
Yellowfin, blackfin, wahoo and dolphin were part of a day's catch on the Bill Collector last week. Capt. Brian Harrington on the Run Off is gearing up for the spring offshore season and passed along some last minute openings. Give us a ring to set you up with either one of these great North Carolina offshore boats.
Killing me.....
.......sounds like the sailfishing is really firing off, 18 sails and a dorado today.
cool, wet and grey
That's what I'm greeted with? At least it's not too cold......although I do have the heat on.
Sounds like striper/shad fishing is pretty good. My dad's even catching them out of his own boat.....
Anna and I are working on the next newsletter that should be out soon.
Check us out this weekend at the Cape Fear Wildlife Expo and NC Sportsman Magazine Fishing School in Wilmington.
From Capt. James:
"8 sailfish and 3 mahi today boss it hard to belive that we didnt catch any meat fish with your guys"
I was looking for some fresh fish before leaving Costa Rica, but all we caught were billfish the last 3 days!!!!
Seems like we're averaging about 10/day.
Fishing here
Few pics from the past week, fishing has been good and consistent, plenty of double digit days, sometimes they're biting better than others.
Dad's sailfish on the fly:
Luis' bull
Costa Rica Inshore Billfish:
Fishing at home
Capt. Gary Dubiel has been pretty busy this winter with good fishing in the upper parts of the Neuse/Trent and around Oriental. A lot of this fishing is technique-oriented on artificial baits, but he's been getting enough bites that the customers are learning a lot and they're catching fish.
4 hour half day trips are $350 and full days are $600, drop us a line and we'll put you together.
In addition to the hickory shad, a few white shad are showing up on the Neuse and Roanoke Rivers. We have shad trips available in both locations for these prices.
From April 18-May 15 striped bass trips are available on the Roanoke River. Long half days (5-6 hours) are $500 including bait. Full days (8-10 hours) are $700 including bait. Dicsounts available for fly fishing only trips. Space is limited and advance booking is recommended.
Double header pups. These guys are going to really start growing fast when the water warms up a little, putting on an inch a month through the summer. In addition to pups, Gary is reporting decent catches of specks. It's good to know that they didn't all get hit by the freeze.
Capt. Dave Stewart is also running these light tackle trips and I may be joining these guys to help out on the river over the next few weeks.
Los Suenos Sunset
last Day Report
Our average went up, 12 for 15 bites today.
All day long we had sails swimming around the boat, but they never turned on. Bet we saw 100 fish today paddling along and sunbathing.We learned a lot about feeding finicky sailfish over the past three days.......
..... but the most important thing that we learned is not to let a tournament get in the way of having fun......and we had fun.
Ended up catching over 40 sails in 4 days, including the half day practice day, all hooked on our own.Good fishing.
There are a lot of fish around and fishing should be good for a while.
And a congratulations to the Game On, Gotcha and the Big Oh, you guys were battling it out all day, impressive work, the Game On had 57 sailfish and one marlin over 3 days. Gotcha and Big Oh, right on their heels with 55 sails and a marlin, Gotcha won "on time" catching their last fish first.
A little better today...
16 for 24 bites today, we moved up the hill a little and were in the hunt for a "daily" most of the day. One more day.......
shad report
From Capt. Greg Voliva who is running some shad and striper trips this season for Down East up on the Roanoke River and in the Neuse:
"Hey, Its going off on the shad 50-60 fish days.Pitch Kettle. Waters extremely low so the main body of fish are staying in the river. I'll be back Sunday. "
got a little work to do.....
They seemed a bit "finicky" today, we had 21 bites and caught 9. Deep into the middle of the field. Congrats to the Game On who released 28 sails and is sitting in 1st place.
It's going to be interesting
Fishing has been good and steady. A lot of sailfish scattered over a large area. Tomorrow is Day1 of the 2nd leg of the Los Suenos Billfish series.

UK gives £5 million to help fight against wildlife crime
Up to £5 million of UK Government funding will made available to initiatives around the world
to help tackle the cruel trade in rhino horn, elephant ivory and other illegal wildlife
products, Defra Minister Rory Stewart has announced .
Poaching is rife in parts of Africa, with 1,293 rhinos killed last year and over 20,000
elephant deaths attributed to poaching in 2013.
The UK is playing a leading role in global efforts to tackle the illegal wildlife trade, which
involves international criminal networks and undermines the economies of our trading partners
in Africa, Latin America and Asia.
Round Two of the Illegal Wildlife Trade Challenge Fund will support practical action against
wildlife crime by strengthening law enforcement, reducing demand for illegal products and by
helping communities develop sustainable conservation schemes.
It's peanuts compared to what we are happy to give to places like Pakistan, or waste on weapons, but every little helps. However, the World still hasn't fully woken up to this problem. We all want to see wildlife healthy and protected but we don't seem to want to provide the funds to achieve it. A Global fund ought to be set up as its a Global problem and we ALL want to be able to enjoy the World's wildlife.

Dolphins coach Joe Philbin weighs in on Richie Incognito talk
By Nicki Jhabvala

The Broncos’ offensive-line issues have been the the talk of the last couple of weeks following losses to the Patriots in Foxborough, Mass., and the Rams in St. Louis.
Last week the Broncos worked out alleged bully and former Dolphins lineman Richie Incognito, who hasn’t played a game since October of 2013, but decided to pass on signing him. But as the Broncos’ O-line troubles become magnified, talk of giving Incognito another chance has grown louder.
On Wednesday, Dolphins coach Joe Philbin was asked if believed Incognito deserved another shot in the NFL. His answer was a lesson in deflection. Read more…
Richie Incognito: A recap of the 2013-14 madness
The Broncos on Monday worked out former Dolphins offensive lineman Richie Incognito, a nine-year veteran and 2012 Pro Bowler who is known best for being an alleged bully and being ranked by his peers as one of the dirtiest players in the league.
It all stems back to the 2013-14 incident with his former Dolphins teammate Jonathan Martin. Here’s a recap in case you forgot how Incognito became one of the most infamous players in the NFL: Read more…

Yes, I know. You might be tired of hearing about the Dolphins’ Richie Incognito-Jonathan Martin fiasco. There’s been a lot of talk about it this week from every perspective, so you’ve probably found someone among all the talking heads you agree with. That said, a few stories were circulating on Twitter Thursday morning about the issue specifically and the bigger picture behind it, and I figured they might be worth sharing.
First and foremost, there’s this, from The Denver Post’s own Benjamin Hochman: “The Miami Dolphins’ issues shine light on bullying, hazing.” Read it.
Another spectacular read appeared on Grantland this morning. It’s “Man Up,” by Brian Phillips. Read it, read it, read it.
I also found this story, which was being tweeted around a bit. It’s from back in 2011 and from The Nation, which is hardly a sports publication. That said, “Jocks vs. Pukes,” by Robert Lipsyte, is a really good look at jock culture in sports. You know the drill: Read it.

St. Paul wants to sell, rehab or build upon 240 parcels of land within 2 years
27 August //
Tags : CDBG, Frogtown, housing rehab, Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, Neighborhood Development Strategy, Neighborhood Stabilization Program, Payne-Phalen, Railroad Island, vacant lots, West Seventh
Comments Off on St. Paul wants to sell, rehab or build upon 240 parcels of land within 2 years
The city of St. Paul is looking to fill vacant lots citywide, complete some long-scheduled housing rehab projects and do a full-court press in six five neighborhoods — Payne-Phalen, Frogtown, Dayton’s Bluff, West Seventh Street and Railroad Island — with too many aching and empty spaces.
A general concept plan detailing an ambitious, four-pronged assault on empty lots and vacant properties went before the St. Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority in late July.
No, it’s not simple and — at $12.89 million — it won’t be cheap. What’s more, the city wants it all to happen within the next two years. You can read all 42 pages of the “Neighborhood Development Strategy” for yourself, here.
“More than anything else, our strategy is really about trying to maximize neighborhood impact by focusing our public dollars,” said Roxanne Young, the city’s project manager.
To start off, city staff took a look at all of the property that’s owned by the St. Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA). “We decided to focus our analysis on a subset of that — 240 parcels … concentrated in the ‘Invest St. Paul‘ and ‘Neighborhood Stabilization Program‘ ” neighborhoods, Young said.
Here’s how those 240 parcels might be converted from flab to fab in two shakes of a lamb’s tail (and $12.89 million later)…
Strategy 1: Clusters — 70 parcels
The first of the four strategies focuses on vacant lots inside 10-to-15 block “clusters” of Payne Phalen, Dayton’s Bluff, Frogtown, West Seventh Street and Railroad Island (which is actually a smaller subset of Payne-Phalen).
The cluster strategy envisions turning those lots into houses, be that rental or home ownership.
“We want to prioritize the development of the property that’s owned within those areas within the next two years,” Young said. “That’s our goal.”
“In the case of the cluster area strategy, we’re focusing on developing everything with residential property. In some cases, we have buildings on the site. When there’s a building on the site, we’re intending to rehab the building.”
To entice developers, the city is lining up financing through the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (a $1.16 million grant application is on its way), on top of city funds. That grant in particular would benefit at least 29 properties, including 17 rehabs and 12 new constructions.
Requests for Proposals for three of the clusters would likely go before the HRA before the end of September. Those areas are Frogtown, Dayton’s Bluff and Payne-Phalen. In the case of Frogtown, the city worked closely with the Frogtown-Rondo Home Loan Fund to make sure the cluster area overlaps with the community served by the fund. The RFPs should boost about 60 properties in total.
“This is a pretty technical approach,” said Young, “and it’s based on a public process that already occurred under both Invest St. Paul and the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. … What we’re really trying to do with this strategy is finish the work that we already started.”
Confused? Outreach is planned over the course of the next month to several district councils in the “cluster” areas.
Strategy 2: Existing properties with ‘obligations’ — 60 parcels
The city has plenty of obligations to fill vacant lots previously acquired through the federally-funded Neighborhood Stabilization Program, or rehab vacant homes acquired through the program. The goal is to prioritize those efforts — and others where money is already on the line — within the next two years.
“We either have a funding source that’s requiring us to meet our obligations within a given timeline, or there’s a building up on the property,” Young said.
Strategy No. 3: Additional vacant lots for sale — 56 parcels
The city will also look at vacant lots that aren’t located in one of the six cluster areas, and don’t have funding obligations that are connected to them. The hope is that the market will provide. “Those properties, effectively what we’re saying is we’re going to explore selling them for their appraised value,” Young said. “We’re doing a pilot sale of five properties this fall.”
Strategy No. 4: Splinter parcels — 54 parcels
The city also has plans for “splinter parcels” — those pesky lots that are too small to develop without a variance, or have topography and soil contamination issues, or other issues that would be a barrier to development.
“For those properties, we’re exploring the development of a splinter parcel sale program,” Young said. City staff hope to bring a series of potential policies and procedures for the program to the HRA board, with the goal of implementing them sometime between October and January.
“Effectively, our strategy is looking at the potential for the neighboring property owner to acquire the property,” Young said. Another approach might be to have a district council or nonprofit find some other use for the site, such as a playground or meeting space.
“It’s very early in conceptual stages,” she said.
So what do you think dear Scoop reader? Has the city hit paydirt with a four-pronged action plan? Will these strategies fill empty space and rehab eyesore properties, or devote public funds to projects that developers might otherwise do privately if building regulations were loosened?
Feel free to sound off, below, 1, 2…

Nature inspires flying machines
Wednesday Nov 24, 2010 10:59 AM
Bioinspiration and Biomimetics
A model robot gecko uses its tail to right itself as it falls. Similar technology could simplify control of unmanned aerial vehicles, researchers report in a special issue of the journal Bioinspiration and Biomechanics.
Airplane passengers tangled up in sluggish security lines this holiday weekend might wish they could take to the air themselves. Unfortunately, we've yet to evolve self-propelled flight, but scientists and engineers are busy taking lessons from nature to improve our barely century-old flight technology.
Take geckos, for example. Scientists at the University of California at Berkeley led by Ardian Jusufi have figured out how the lizards employ their tails to turn and right themselves as they fall from trees, helping them to always land on their feet. They even built a robotic model gecko that does the same trick. Check out this video of the falling gecko:
The work with robo-geckos "suggests that inertial appendages could simplify control of a variety of robots and unmanned aerial vehicles, because this solution allows for simple body reorientation," reads the opening editorial in a special issue of the journal Bioinspiration and Biomimetics, devoted to flight technologies inspired by Mother Nature's fliers.
The journal also features research from the University of Maryland, showing that micro helicopters could be much simpler if they imitated the falling maple seed’s wing pitch for controlled hovering and forward flight.
Virginia Tech biologist Jake Socha reports on how the slithering of flying snakes allows them to glide from tree to tree – research that could one day lead to small and agile flying vehicles.
Insect-sized robots could one day serve as spies.
The challenges of building insect-sized robots with flapping wings similar to those on flies are explored by Harvard researchers Benjamin Finio and Robert Wood. While more work remains to be done, such robotic insects could one day serve as spies -– in effect, serving as the proverbial "fly on the wall."
The special edition also covers hovering hummingbirds, birds' intuitive exploitation of thermal updrafts, and seagulls' sense of flight environment, which allows them incredible angles of attack and increased control in crosswinds.
"Because biologists and engineers are typically trained quite differently, there is a gap between the understanding of natural flight of biologists and the engineer's expertise in designing vehicles that function well. In the middle, however, is a few pioneering engineers who are able to bridge both fields," David Lentink from Wageningen University and Andrew Biewener from Harvard University write in their editorial.
One of the best things about this special issue is that all the articles are freely accessible, which makes it easier to let your imagination take flight.

Main UK & IRELAND Martin McColl continues store renewal programme
The redesigned counter units, developed by merchandising display firm Kesslers International, were installed by in-store specialists CJ Services following a detailed survey of the retailers' estate, and are a key element in Martin McColl's store modernisation programme.
Martin McColl trading director, Tony Start, said: "Our counter refit programme is a key element in our long-term commitment to creating an engaging in-store environment that not only maximises the opportunities for impulse purchases but also aids the shopping experience."
Consultative support delivered by CJ Services to Martin McColl, supporting brands and Kesslers on installation related issues, from the outset of the project, helped to deliver significant process improvements and a highly efficient rollout programme that saw two stores a day being completed by CJ Services' team of fitters and electricians. Over 500 counters were installed as part of the first phase of the rollout. The second phase of the rollout programme is scheduled for completion shortly.
Commenting on the project James Kennaugh, head of client service for CJ Services said: "A project of this scale presents some unique logistical challenges. Our strong collaborative approach with display producers, such as Kesslers International, is crucial to ensure that all projects of this size are completed on time and with minimum disruption to the in-store environment - an essential consideration for retailers such as Martin McColl."
The modular counter system, which was produced using a mix of materials including wood, metal and acrylic, was designed to deliver a cost effective solution that offers total flexibility across the existing diverse Martin McColl estate and possible future new stores. It also successfully combines the need for ease-of-use by staff and visual customer appeal - the chosen colour scheme being designed to make the product the �hero' attraction, rather than the counter units.
Graham Thorpe, account director for Kesslers added: "The modularity of the counter system allowed all counter lengths from 1m to 6m to be installed. The design allows various combinations of counter top fixtures to be fitted satisfying the Martin McColl requirement of having more product coverage at the front of the store; future technology updates also needed to be considered. Our close working relationship with CJ Services will be crucial to the success of the roll out."
Martin McColl is one of the UK's largest chains of Newsagents with over 900 stores as well as an additional 300 convenience stores and more than 100 High Street stores.

ANOTHER CHALLENGE By V. M. Smith, Assistant General Agent, Memphis, Tenn.
In the May number of the Harvester World, W. D. Adams, general agent, Kankakee, 111., reports that two of his men sold 138 wagons in three days, and wants to know who can beat it. In justice to our blockman, A. J. Johnson, and his assistant, W. A. Gause, we accept the challenge. These gentlemen have that record beat, as they sold 300 wagons in one- half-day. We conclude that brother Adams will have to go some to beat that.

Cavebabble 125: Crossing Netflix Streams
When Netflix infamously split its disk and streaming services, we decided to stick with streaming only. The final movie to arrive at our home was The American, and the ladies weren't very happy about it. They assumed it was a typical action film, and not worthy of our final rental spot. The film ended up not being exactly what they thought it would be, but was close enough to make their point.
How predictable are the plots of movies Eric likes to watch?
To answer this question, we devised a game. Eric would share titles of several films he recently watched via Netflix streaming. Based solely on these titles, the rest of the Babblers would have to guess what the films were about. Finally, Eric would share the actual plots, and review each film.
Cross Netflix streams with us, and dream up your own plot for these films! Also included is the latest Cavebabble Eats Odd Things. This episode is brought to you by Every Action Movie Ever.

It's Friday the 13th, and Camp Crystal Lake is in need of repair. And body bags. A Voorhees is on the loose, and counselors are an endangered species. Join us for a look at the original Friday the 13th. This episode is brought to you by Sex & Slaughter.

As the King-Chávez-Parks Visiting Professor and Artist in Residence for Dialogue-Building, Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives at the University of Michigan, I developed various pilot programs that ask what the body can bring to larger discussions of diversity, empowerment, and inclusion. This experimental, arts-based programming included professional development trainings, interdisciplinary workshops, and a working group.
The residency, a first at U-M, was sponsored by over 12 departments, and draws upon my ongoing research on the connections between a dance form known as Contact Improvisation and democratic activism in South Africa, Spain, and the US. The residency included specialized pilot programs in the music department, the Trotter Multicultural Center, and the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching (CRLT), in addition to professional development trainings and other programming.
The residency culminated this past semester in the interdisciplinary seminar Personal, Present and Immediate*: Making Performance on Socio-Political Questions. I also designed and choreographed Root Vegetables, a community-based diversity and resilience initiative in the U-M dance department on groundedness, growth, and expanding definitions of beauty. The work comes out of reflection on larger questions of institutional and departmental culture, and ways of productively shifting micro-environments toward being more inclusive and welcoming for people from diverse backgrounds.
I was honored by the U-M President and Provost’s Office for my innovative diversity and inclusion work:

WWF Superstars - January 26, 1991
by Scrooge McSuck
- It's the funky opening with the Ultimate Warrior shooting lazers from his eyes in what looks like a field of electricity (or maybe destrucity). Vince McMahon opens the show, talking about the "shocking" moments from the Royal Rumble this past saturday, when Sgt. Slaughter won the WWF Championship. Roddy Piper wanders into view of the camera and rambles incoherent nonsense.
- Courtesy of Coliseum Video (Available February 28th), Randy Savage declared that he is the #1 Contender, and doesn't care who wins the match, but alleges Slaughter said he would give Savage a title shot if he were to win. Jump ahead to a special podium interview, with the Queen Sherri calling out Warrior, decked out in a red, white, and blue color scheme. Sherri calls out Warrior for a title shot for the Macho King, reducing herself to levels a little questionable for the children market at the time. Sherri ends up on her knees, but all she gets is Warrior loogie, and a negative proclamation not seen since Hogan refused Dibiase's offer to buy the WWF Title. Yeah, cause that worked out so well for him, too, right? Savage goes nuts backstage and sprints for the ring, but Warrior is long gone. I've never seen someone run like that. How much coffee did he drink that afternoon?!
Later in the night, the Warrior is defending the title against Sgt. Slaughter. Warrior was his usual house of fire, manhandling the challenger, and desecrating the Iraqi flag just as bad as Hulk Hogan would end up doing at WrestleMania VII. Things would take a turn for the worse, as constant interference from the enraged Randy Savage prevented Warrior from obtainining victory. Late in the contest, it was a powerful blast across the head with the royal septor that brought an end the reign of WWF champion for the Ultimate Warrior. I remember as a kid being pretty bummed, but I was more of a Hogan fan, and once Hogan won the Rumble... well, nothing was announced, but he did end up getting the title shot, and that made me happy.
The Mountie (w/ Jimmy Hart) vs. Reno Riggins:
Weird bit here... this is the Mountie's debut, on Superstars, but he was used on the Royal Rumble PPV in a filler match against Koko B. Ware, without any prior announcement or hype. It made sense, though, since the crowd was D-E-A-D and the only other match needed fan support (the Rhodes vs. Dibiase saga). It made the PPV over-run, too, as a normal WWF PPV went 2 hours 45 minutes, but the '91 Rumble went something like 3 hours 10 minutes. The Mountie is a repackaged Jacques Rougeau, and it's a nice touch that Jimmy Hart is still his manager. Oh my God... VINCE MCMAHON CALLED HIM JACQUES ROUGEAU! Lockup, and Mountie with a headlock, then a slap to the face. Irish whip, and Mountie with a boot to the chest. Piper and McMahon discuss the recent actions of Virgil, who left Dibiase's employment at the '91 Royal Rumble. The Mountie heads to the middle rope and comes off with something lame. Mountie with a handful of balls, then throws Riggins out of the ring. Back in the ring, and Mountie with a chokeslam and never hold for the three count at 2:07. Vince McMahon hypes the Main Event special coming up, featuring Slaughter defending the title against Jim Duggan, and a huge announcement from President Jack Tunney. Oh, and post match, Mountie gives Riggins a zap with the cattle prod.
- Time for the Event Center, with Sean Mooney, who calls the Mountie "Dudley Do Right From Hell." The Hart Foundation are the reigning WWF Tag Team Champions, but this is one of those generic promos that doesn't single out a specific opponent, and is just self-hype. Next up, it's the Barbarian and Bobby Heenan... and I swear, I never can get over how hilarious it is when Barbarian talks. Another generic promo. Who got it worse... Barbarian and the furry undies, or the Warlord and his phantom of the opera mask?
The Legion of Doom vs. Doug Vines & Cleo Reed:
It's funny to think how much the WWF kind of gave up on the LOD after their brief period main eventing house shows in tag matches with the Ultimate Warrior against Demolition. I mean, once 1991 came around, they really did nothing until they suddenly were named "#1 Contenders" for SummerSlam. According to Vince and Piper, LOD will face The Orient Express on The Main Event. There's a balanced match. LOD jump behind, and Reed gets dumped on his face. Animal with a powerslam on Vines, followed by a jumping elbow drop. Irish whip, and Hawk with a diving shoulder tackle, then a fist drop. Hawk hip-tosses Vines into the corner, then pounds away on Reed. Hawk witth a gutwrench suplex, and Animal comes in and connects with a dropkick. We take a look in Body Building Lifestyles Magazine, an article about training as a teenager. Back to the match, and Animal charges into the corner with a clothesline. Doomsday Device connects, and the three count is made at 2:19. The LOD squash matches were generally fun, but I'm surprised we didn't get any mid-match promo from anyone.
- Sean Mooney is back with more from the WWF Event Center. First, we've got The Undertaker, with his manager, Brother Love. Yeah, that was definiely a strange combination. When I think Undertaker, the first thing that I think of is "why wasn't Brother Love his manager longer?" Undertaker had no program yet, but these promos are all generic, non-threatening ones. Hey, it's Tugboat, and he goes Toot-Toot! Funny, Tugboat actually cuts a promo on the Undertaker! Tugboat was the first guy fed to the Undertaker on a daily basis, working house shows, so it makes sense, I guess.
- Coutesy of Coliseum Home Video, a bunch of fans give shout outs to the troops over in the middle east. Clips of Hulk Hogan celebrating winning the Royal Rumble Match. He's got a flag and he knows how to use it! No clip of him holding up the "Peace in the Middle East" sign? Post-Royal Rumble Interview with Mean Gene Okerlund. Hogan gets all patriotic, saying the United States military is what gave him the motivation to win the match. At least he's not name dropping Saddam and flubbing his lines, like he did in the interview before the match. Oh wait, he just did mention him, but didn't forget his name at least.
The British Bulldog vs. Joe Turner:
Davey Boy was pretty freshly returned to the WWF, and boy did he get really... big, since the last time we saw him. Vince McMahon mentions Jack Tunney is considering using Instant Replay in the WWF. That would mean having to come up with new, creative ways of ending matches, other than "heel cheats to win." Lockup, and Bulldog comes off the ropes with a shoulder tackle. Turner gets some token offense in, but the Bulldog takes control, and plants Turner with his signature delayed suplex. He actually covers and only gets a two count. Bulldog with a snapmare and headlock, as we get a promo from the Warlord and Slick over wether or not the Bulldog can escape the Full Nelson. Whip to the corner, and the jobber misses a charge. Bulldog scoops him up, and the running powerslam ends this one at 2:20. Well, that was rather bleh. I guess it's only real purpose was to set up the random threats from the Warlord and the crummy Full Nelson. I hated feuds over stuff like "so and so is too strong and no one can break his hold."
"The Model" Rick Martel vs. Allan Reynolds:
Martel is wearing a huge button that reads "Yes, I Am a Model." Martel was in the middle of a feud with Jake Roberts that started when Martel accidentally on purpose sprayed him in the eyes with his arrogance. Jake has been battling vision problems ever since, trying to het his hands on the Model. Lockup, and Reynolds with a side headlock. Martel grabs the leg and quickly pulls him to the corner, wrapping the leg around the ring post. Martel cuts a promo on The Snake. Back to the action, and Martel is playing to the crowd. He drops an elbow across the knee, then a pair of knee drops to the same spot. Martel with the Boston Crab, and it's all over at 1:36. The canned heel heat is quite obvious, with the crowd sitting on their hands, yet boo'ing wildly, as if Sgt. Slaughter set a Hulk Hogan poster on fire, or something.
- We go back to the Event Center for one last time today. Earthquake and Jimmy Hart are standing by, and they don't care who wants to get in the way of Earthquake, wether it's Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, or... Mr. Perfect? That was odd. The Bushwhackers are still hanging around, and come on, these guys are just terrible. Are you a Bushwhacker-Roo? Tell your mudda'! Yay!
- We hype, THIS FRIDAY NIGHT, Hacksaw Jim Duggan challenging Sgt. Slaughter for the WWF Championship on the Main Event, exclusively seen on NBC. Jim Duggan is standing by with comments, hugging an American flag, and I hear "Middle East" (or Persian Gulf) for about the 89th time in the broadcast. Next week on Superstars, WWF Intercontinental Champion Mr. Perfect defends against the Texas Tornado, and we get words from the former Champion.
Final Thoughts: Not a very good episode, but at the time, seeing roughly 10-minutes of stuff from the PPV, even if it was mostly non-matches, was a pretty rare site to see on the syndicated shows. Usually all you got was the photos and a narration. Outside of that, a pretty bland episode. The Mountie debuts, and that's only interesting for the fact he was identified as Jacques Rougeau in another life, but from there, it's just a few boring squashes and a few boring event centers. All this talk makes me want to see The Main Event, though.

Programming innovations
Since many years Moritz and erika de Hadeln have been at the avant-guard of innovations, inventing new program structures and exploring new film territories. Among others:
! First ever "FIPRESCI Film Week" (1973, Locarno)
Concept of the first ever "FIPRESCI Week" as an independent choice of films made by the members of International Film Critics Associations. Since, "FIPRESCI Weeks" are being organized in many Festivals.
! First ever "Ecumenical Jury" (1973, Locarno)

Using the new screening facilities built Budapester Strasse in 1979, creation of the first international film market at the Berlin International Film Festival, with an independent administration led by the Swede Aina Bellis.
! Creation of the "Kinder Workshop" (1981,Berlin)
As part of the Childrens' Festival section, this work shop was intended to add an animation workshop for young participants, based on Ernest Ansorge's sand animation techniques. For lack of funding the experiment was later abandoned.
! Invention of the "Panorama" section (1985, Berlin)
Together with Manfred Salzgeber conceiving the structures and aims of the "Panorama" section to replace the old "Info Show".

! Conceiving the "Venice Screenings" (2002, Venice)
Creation and organization of the "Venice Screenings", recognizing the need for a specialized film market as part of the Venice International Film Festival.
Logistic innovations
As time went by, such things as fax, computers, email, internet, video screening have become part of daily routine. But in early days as they became available, this team was among the first to use them in providing each time a step forward in organization efficiency. Selecting films in unknown territories was also one of their trade marks. Their inventiveness and film curiosity is legendary and has no boundaries. Some examples:
• Conceiving festival equipment (1969, Nyon)
In days when no fax nor photocopy machine existed, and press releases had to be duplicated with a stencil machine, conception of the technical and office equipment required for the new International Documentary Festival premises and offices in Nyon,
• First ever "user friendly entry form" (1970, Nyon)
Layout of the first ever "user friendly entry form" with pre-defined check boxes, establishing a new standard for the registration of films at a film festivals. In 1972 this layout was adopted as a model by FIAPF.
• First festival "job description" document (1980, Berlin)
First exhaustive "job description" document laying the requirements for the employment of personnel needed for the origination of a major film festival. It served later in Venice as a model to reorganize the festival structures.
• First ever use of a computer by a film festival (1980, Berlin)
First ever use of a computer program to manage the festival needs such as addresses, accreditations, guest invitation letters, accreditation badges, hotel vouchers, film lists, daily programs, who's where lists and the film depot administration. The first program was written in "Basic" language and the first computer was a large frame Nixdorf installed on the festival premises in early 1981.
• First public video projection on a large screen (1983, Nyon)
Introduction in a festival program of the first public video projection on a large screen with the help of a Barco projector.
• Creation of a new brand and corporate identity (1999, Berlin)
Creation of a new brand and corporate identity (new logo, new heading, new banners, new stationary) for the Berlin International Film Festival, after extensive interaction with Meta Design GmbH, Berlin.
• Creating a marketing concept for Brazilian cinema (2001, Rio de Janeiro)
Providing detailed advice and training to the "Grupo Novo" in Rio for the international promotion of Brazilian cinema and festival participation.
• Introduction of a credit card size accreditation badge (2003, Venice)
In a move to modernize the antiquated Venice Festival structures introduction of a credit card size pre printed accreditation badge and laying the ground for a festival internal electronic network.
• Planning the renewal of the Venice Film Festival organization (2003, Venice)
Providing a detailed plan for the renewal of the Venice International Film Festival organization and of the Lido infrastructures, a plan unanimously adopted by the Biennale board in late 2003, but then rejected by Berlusconi's Ministry.
• Laying the basics for a new Film Festival in Montreal (2005, Montreal)
Conceiving and writing participation regulations, entry and accreditation forms and invitation model letters for a new International Film Festival in Montreal and selecting and coordinating a team responsible for the program.
• Creating rules for participation for the new “Douro Film Harvest” in Portugal (2009, Porto)
As advisers to the team creating a new festival in the Douro Valley, “de Hadeln & Partners” provided extended advice on several organisation aspects, among other creating the “rules for participation”.
Today & tomorrow
Their background is the unique luggage of knowledge and experience that make “de Hadeln & Partners” one of today's most valuable assets and the best guarantee that the spirit of innovation and undertaking is always at the heart of its approach to any new challenge within a vast array of projects.

EdAhead In Action
Dun & Bradstreet Strives to Empower Today’s Youth Through Education For a Brighter Tomorrow
August 10, 2015 by Dorothy Kiniti
What if you were tasked to build a mechanical device that could move an object in two dimensions – both vertically and horizontally? Would you know where to begin?
With the support of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) based programs, the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD) knew that their K-8th grade students would be up for the challenge. The STEM Program, which is funded in part through Dun & Bradstreet EdAhead donations, allows groups of young students the opportunity to work on an array of complex projects, with some pretty incredible results. Dorothy Kiniti and Stephen Shirk from Dun & Bradstreet were given the opportunity to visit a few of the schools to see just what the students were up to and check out some of these complex projects. Read on to hear more about how EdAhead funding is being put to use in the Santa Monica-Malibu area:
From left to right; Linda Greenberg (Executive Director, Santa Monica-Malibu Education Fund), Gretchen McLaughlin (English Language Arts, SMMUSD), Dorothy Kiniti (Marketing Operations Manager, Dun & Bradstreet), Marianna O’Brien (Science, SMMUSD), Dr. Suzanne Webb (Principal, SMMUSD)
At Lincoln Middle School, students were given six weeks to create a formal experiment proposal that included an abstract, rationale, experimental design, experimental procedures, and a citation page.
Throughout the course of the program, students utilized the process of discovery as a teaching tool, learning from their mistakes as well as their successes. They also developed advanced communication skills to help explain their scientific ideas to the experiment selection committees. To facilitate the development of those skills, the school created a core program that partners science and english lessons.
Students at Lincoln Middle School
At the end of six weeks, over 80 experiment proposals were submitted to the Review Committee, which consisted of local community members. The winning proposal, entitled the “Paper Chromatography Experiment,” was created to help determine whether chromatography could be performed in microgravity, and discover how the process may differ from when it is performed on earth. The experiment was then sent to the International Space Station on June 19th, 2015, from the Kennedy Space Center.
The winning team of 8th grade students included Samuel Buckley-Bonanno, Adam Chamas, Charlie Gooding and Shrayes Raman.
John Muir Elementary
The Exploratory collaborated with John Muir Elementary on a K-5 curriculum designed to engage learning experiences that incorporate Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) subjects. The program gives an early start at exposing young students to STEM-related programs and gives them an opportunity to use their curiosity and intelligence to compete in problem solving tasks. Thanks to their partnership with The Exploratory, an eight-week design lab helped prepare children for challenges through its “Tinker.Make.Innovate” philosophy.
The students at John Muir were tasked with exploring simple machines and gear systems to create a self-operating machine that could share a story about a person that made a difference in history. The program would otherwise not be possible without the generous donations of families, communities and businesses within the community.

Point Dume Marine Science School and Webster Elementary
PlanetBravo partnered with Point Dume and Webster Elementary to deliver a formal technology curriculum that integrated common core standards for Math and Language Arts in their computer labs. The PlanetBravo instructors worked with the students on a weekly basis covering relevant computer topics.
Students have benefited from PlanetBravo in many ways, including the expansion of their digital knowledge through lessons in technology and problem solving. Every year, PlanetBravo helps to enhance children’s futures by teaching them to learn and build something new. By the time the students are in middle school, they are already well versed in Google Apps, are able to create documents and spreadsheets, and are comfortable understanding web etiquette, with the invaluable knowledge that their digital footprint stays with them forever.
These school programs were funded thanks to the contributions made by the EdAhead initiative. The $100,000 grant made to the Santa Monica-Malibu Education Foundation (SMMEF) by Dun & Bradstreet was allocated to comprehensive programs such as this,designed to improve student achievement and success from transitional kindergarten to 12th grade.

The primacy of praxis: Clerical authority in the Syrian conflict
By Shiraz Maher | Director of the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation (ICSR) | Oct 24, 2018
A close look at the competing claims, actors, and movements for authority within the Syrian civil war reveals three distinct periods of political and religious influence: that of Syrian scholars, who were the first to inject religious language into the revolution; that of Salafi scholars predominantly from the Gulf; and lastly, that of jihadi organizations like ISIS and Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, who were active on the ground.
This paper focuses on which figures relied on action—rather than theoretical abstraction—to establish legitimacy and authority on the ground in Syria. Tracing the conflict from the first clerical attempts to coordinate the Syrian opposition to the conflict’s regionalization, and, later, internationalization, this paper demonstrates that the words of actors on the ground are more likely than those of far-off figures—however popular—to resound effectively.
The initial exile of clerics during the Syrian conflict’s early stages gave rise to a second wave of Gulf Salafi clerics who internationalized the conflict.
As the influence of domestic and regional religious scholars faded, a vacuum of clerical authority in the conflict emerged. This space became dominated by brutal jihadi actors.
The international community has miscalculated the credibility of moderate actors on the ground and has favored organizations that have grown detached and disconnected from the conflict. Brutal organizations have capitalized on this crisis of authority.
More than scholarly merit or standing, it is the ability of an actor or group to deliver through action that becomes the ultimate marker of authenticity, and in Syria’s case, piety.

With the end of the 2017 academic year, the David lab said a fond farewell to several members as they graduated and hello to a few new shining faces.
Apsen Reese became Dr. Reese as she finished her PhD in the University Program in Ecology. Beginning in July 2017, she will start as a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows where she will continue to do research into the ecological dynamics of host-microbe interactions and their impact on ecosystem level patterns and processes.
Several undergrads also graduated from the lab, Sai Nimmagadda, Anchi Wu, and Lionel Watkins. All three were with us for several years and will be sorely missed. We wish them all the best as they continue on their journeys.
Shortly after graduation, we were happy to welcome Zachary Holmes as a new PhD student in the lab. Zach hails from Georgia and will be looking to research new ways to engineer community structure in the human microbiome to achieve a desired ecosystem service.
The David lab will also be welcoming a research technician in early July.

When Zoey, Lola and Chase see that Logan is in desperate need of help, Zoey does Logan's laundry, Lola helps him with his hair, Chase types out his report, and they all try to teach Logan how to fend for himself with no money. Meanwhile, Quinn and Logan are beginning to realize that they don't hate each other. Zoey decides to move in with Quinn, but soon finds her constant testing experiments bothering.
Zoey and Chase argue over the radio, and it only gets worse when the fight expands to include the rest of the gang. However, it is after one hormonal-driven night at Band Camp, that she is faced with a responsibility no 15-year-old wants to take; being a teen mom. It focuses on the lives of teenager Zoey Brooks and her friends as they attend Pacific Coast Academy, a fictional boarding school in Southern California. Though not on board at first, Quinn goes ahead and starts building the robot, motivated by the geeks' arrogance. Michael is worried that Lisa thinks he is a wimp because he is scared to ride roller coasters. After he holds a press conference regarding the commercial, Chase formally drops out and later discovers Zoey dropped out, too, but before he did.

People and Papers
Time flies! Under 2013 Moreno Marcellini came over from the chemistry department as a postdoc, but by the time I write this his contract has run out already, though we still have a number of projects running, mainly related to MD with refinement of Small Ange X-ray scattering data. Jin Zhang joined the group for a year (from september 2013) as a guest from Zhejiang University. She already participated on two published papers and is now working on membrane proteins. There are also two students, Marcelo and Yugandhar in the group presently, for short term projects. Papers are ticking in on the publication list too.
This spring (2013) Nicholas Giangreco joined the group for a project during his stay as an exchange student from Rochester, USA. In may Nina Fischer started working as a Postdoc. Welcome! Simultaneously we have Luciano Costa visiting from Brazil, meaning the group has people from five continents now.
New postdoc
From October 2012, Gadzikano Munyuki joins the group as a new postdoc, visiting from Cape Town, South Africa. Welcome!
Dr. Daniel Larsson
On friday 25th of May 2012, Daniel Larsson succesfully defended his Ph.D. thesis "Exploring the Molecular Dynamics of Protein and Viruses". The opponent for the faculty was Prof. Modesto Orozco. Congratulations to Dr. Daniel!
Virus Dissolution Paper
The first paper by Daniel Larsson about virus structure and dynamics has now been published in PLoS Computational Biology. The study shows how the satellite tobacco necrosis virus opens up to let in water once the Calcium ions are removed, something that is though to happen after infection. More virus work is on it's way! The paper is listed on the university research news pages, and now also at the website of the Swedish chemical society and in Biomedical computation review .

Use your voice to access the world with a new Android app
Google Nov 17, 2018
Nov 17, 2018 Read Source
Everyone can benefit from hands-free support when using technology, but for the 62 million people in the U.S. with motor and mobility impairments, it can be a vital requirement. For Stefanie Putnam, a quadriplegic and a para-equestrian driver, tasks like taking photos, sending texts and composing emails could be daunting.
Stefanie was one of several people the Google Accessibility team worked with to test early prototypes of a feature which allowed people to control their Android device using voice-only commands. Her feedback—and that of other testers—was instructional in shaping a new product we’ve just released called Voice Access.
“After using this product for probably about 10 seconds, I think I’m falling in love with it,” said Stefanie. “You use your voice and you’re able to access the world. It has become a huge staple in my life.”
Stefanie Putnam testing Voice Access
Voice Access provides a hands-free experience for Android, letting people navigate through apps, compose and edit text, and talk to the Google Assistant. It provides more fine-grained controls than other voice commands you might use on your phone—for example, letting you use your voice to "click" buttons and controls within apps, or scroll and navigate app screens. And while there are great benefits for individuals with Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, spinal cord injury and more, Voice Access can also provide value to people who don’t have a disability—people juggling with groceries or in the middle of cooking.
Screenshots of voice commands used by Voice Access
When using Voice Access, you can compose and edit a text message hands free by saying “Ok Google,” and open your favorite app with the “open” command. Then, select the text field by speaking the number Voice Access displays next to it. After saying your message out loud, like “would you like to meet for lunch tomorrow?” you can edit the text using phrases like “replace tomorrow with Saturday” to change the day you want to meet. Speaking commands such as “delete the line” or “undo” will start over and when you’ve finished, you can say “stop listening.” There are many more examples of available commands on oursupport page.

Penicillins are used to treat infections caused by bacteria. They work by killing the bacteria or preventing their growth.
There are several different kinds of penicillins. Each is used to treat different kinds of infections. One kind of penicillin usually may not be used in place of another. In addition, penicillins are used to treat bacterial infections in many different parts of the body. They are sometimes given with other antibacterial medicines (antibiotics). Some of the penicillins may also be used for other problems as determined by your doctor. However, none of the penicillins will work for colds, flu, or other virus infections.
Penicillins are available only with your doctor's prescription.
Once a medicine has been approved for marketing for a certain use, experience may show that it is also useful for other medical problems. Although these uses are not included in product labeling, penicillins are used in certain patients with the following medical conditions:
Chlamydia infections in pregnant women—Amoxicillin and ampicillin
Gas gangrene—Penicillin G
Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis or peptic ulcer disease—Amoxicillin
Leptospirosis—Ampicillin and penicillin G
Lyme disease—Amoxicillin and penicillin V
Typhoid fever—Amoxicillin and ampicillin
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to medicines in this group or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Many penicillins have been used in children and, in effective doses, are not expected to cause different side effects or problems in children than they do in adults.
Some strengths of the chewable tablets of amoxicillin contain aspartame, which is changed by the body to phenylalanine, a substance that is harmful to patients with phenylketonuria.
Penicillins have been used in the elderly and have not been shown to cause different side effects or problems in older people than they do in younger adults.
Penicillins have not been studied in pregnant women. However, penicillins have been widely used in pregnant women and have not been shown to cause birth defects or other problems in animal studies.
Penicillins pass into the breast milk. Even though only small amounts may pass into breast milk, allergic reactions, diarrhea, fungus infections, and skin rash may occur in nursing babies.
Using medicines in this class with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Vecuronium
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of medicines in this class. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
Allergy, general (such as asthma, eczema, hay fever, hives), history of—Patients with a history of general allergies may be more likely to have a severe reaction to penicillins
Bleeding problems, history of—Patients with a history of bleeding problems may be more likely to have bleeding when receiving carbenicillin, piperacillin, or ticarcillin
Congestive heart failure (CHF) or
High blood pressure—Large doses of carbenicillin or ticarcillin may make these conditions worse, because these medicines contain a large amount of salt
Cystic fibrosis—Patients with cystic fibrosis may have an increased chance of fever and skin rash when receiving piperacillin
Kidney disease—Patients with kidney disease may have an increased chance of side effects
Mononucleosis (”mono”)—Patients with mononucleosis may have an increased chance of skin rash when receiving ampicillin, bacampicillin, or pivampicillin
Phenylketonuria—Some strengths of the amoxicillin chewable tablets contain aspartame, which is changed by the body to phenylalanine, a substance that is harmful to patients with phenylketonuria.
Stomach or intestinal disease, history of (especially colitis, including colitis caused by antibiotics)—Patients with a history of stomach or intestinal disease may be more likely to develop colitis while taking penicillins
This section provides information on the proper use of a number of products that contain penicillin. It may not be specific to Apo-Pen-Vk. Please read with care.
Penicillins (except bacampicillin tablets, amoxicillin, penicillin V, pivampicillin, and pivmecillinam) are best taken with a full glass (8 ounces) of water on an empty stomach (either 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals) unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
For patients taking amoxicillin, penicillin V, pivampicillin, and pivmecillinam:
Amoxicillin, penicillin V, pivampicillin, and pivmecillinam may be taken on a full or empty stomach.
The liquid form of amoxicillin may also be taken by itself or mixed with formulas, milk, fruit juice, water, ginger ale, or other cold drinks. If mixed with other liquids, take immediately after mixing. Be sure to drink all the liquid to get the full dose of medicine.
For patients taking bacampicillin:
The liquid form of this medicine is best taken with a full glass (8 ounces) of water on an empty stomach (either 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals) unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
The tablet form of this medicine may be taken on a full or empty stomach.
For patients taking penicillin G by mouth:
Do not drink acidic fruit juices (for example, orange or grapefruit juice) or other acidic beverages within 1 hour of taking penicillin G since this may keep the medicine from working properly.
For patients taking the oral liquid form of penicillins:
This medicine is to be taken by mouth even if it comes in a dropper bottle. If this medicine does not come in a dropper bottle, use a specially marked measuring spoon or other device to measure each dose accurately. The average household teaspoon may not hold the right amount of liquid.
Do not use after the expiration date on the label. The medicine may not work properly after that date. If you have any questions about this, check with your pharmacist.
For patients taking the chewable tablet form of amoxicillin:
Tablets should be chewed or crushed before they are swallowed.
To help clear up your infection completely, keep taking this medicine for the full time of treatment, even if you begin to feel better after a few days. If you have a ”strep” infection, you should keep taking this medicine for at least 10 days. This is especially important in ”strep” infections. Serious heart problems could develop later if your infection is not cleared up completely. Also, if you stop taking this medicine too soon, your symptoms may return.
This medicine works best when there is a constant amount in the blood or urine. To help keep the amount constant, do not miss any doses. Also, it is best to take the doses at evenly spaced times, day and night . For example, if you are to take four doses a day, the doses should be spaced about 6 hours apart. If this interferes with your sleep or other daily activities, or if you need help in planning the best times to take your medicine, check with your health care professional.
Make certain your health care professional knows if you are on a low-sodium (low-salt) diet. Some of these medicines contain enough sodium to cause problems in some people.
The dose medicines in this class will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of these medicines. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
The number of tablets or teaspoonfuls of suspension that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are taking a penicillin.

A culture vision by LATOxLATO
Francesco Breganze de Capnist & Virginia Valentini
LATOxLATO
Lucien Pellat-Finet - Entrance shop windows
1 Chōme-1-1 Nishishinsaibashi, Chūō-ku, Osaka
LATOXLATO presents Cinecittà and Vestalia series.
Marcello, Massimo & Vittorio flower vases:
With its pared-down design and sophisticated detailing, the originality of the marcello, massimo and vittorio vases lies in its very shape. Its distinctive arches and aesthetic precision evoke Italian architecture, revisited here in perfect proportion to the scale of the product.
The stylistic choices making up this case reflect a much broader vision, however, and it is these choices that transform the classic conception of “vase”. Each arch is accompanied by two separate containers. A traditional architectural element thus liberates this common object from its traditional function and each piece contains multiple vases within the same vase. The material choice, ceramic, is another unique trait. This natural, living material changes as it is being worked to give rise to those tiny irregularities that are the unmistakable mark of a product of highly skilled Italian craftsmanship.
Sophia M, Sophia L centerpieces:
If there is one thing that sets Italy apart, it would be the piazza. The Sophia centerpiece was created with this typically Italian place in mind: while in the common imagination the piazza gathers the people of the town, our centerpiece welcomes the small, commonplace objects we use every day. This effect is enhanced by the scaled-down arches recreating a loggia, a structure that can be found encircling so many Italian piazzas, brought in to render this piece even more iconic.
The symmetry among the various elements brings the artistic details characteristic of architecture into this household object. At the same time, its subtle lines emphasize a minimal style accented with flashes of gold or silver. With its marriage of aesthetics, practicality and originality, this centerpiece puts a finishing touch on your home that is both elegant and eye-catching.
Vestalia candleholder:
Until just yesterday, there was the marble we are all familiar with. Today, this candelabrum has redefined the concept of marble itself. We have maintained the same chromatic beauty that has enabled this material to enhance palaces, cities and works of art for thousands of years, but the staticity of the stone has given way to dynamism.
As long as it remains closed, the Vestalia candelabrum appears nothing more than a monolithic slab. With just a few small touches, however, it opens to reveal a candle holder capable of assuming multiple forms. An object of design emerges before your very eyes, the charming expression of exceptionally skilled craftsmanship: indeed, the waterjet cutting technique used to sculpt the marble requires the utmost precision, while the absence of seams in the final product is yet another distinguishing trait that speaks to the heart of any true aesthete.

Designer interview
Virginia Valentini and Francesco Breganze are designers and dreamers.
Italians by birth, architects by training and travelers by vocation, after studying at the Polytechnic of Milan they began to work in the United States. It was there that they realized two things: no matter how far you wander, your background will always be part of you. And, on the other hand, that sometimes you need a country like the USA to move beyond the usual frameworks and develop a truly original outlook.
Fans of 1950s Italian design, the two have different personalities but share the same passion for their work. What distinguishes them is the way they engage with it: one focused on instinct and the other on rationality, one with his head in the clouds and the other with her feet firmly planted on the ground, one who tends to get worked up while the other hardly ever loses her calm. Between one drawing and the next, they discovered that, despite these differences, they manage to agree on everything…everything, that is, except the next movie to watch.

When Neil and Brian were eight years old, they were on the same little league team. Ten years later, both are reeling from abuse suffered long ago. Neil (Joseph Gordon-Leavitt, Latter Days, Treasure Planet) is now a teenage prostitute, while Brian (Brady Corbet, Thunderbirds, Thirteen) does not remember five hours of his life and believes himself the victim of abduction. Mysterious Skin, based on the novel by Scott Heim, is familiar territory for filmmaker Greg Araki (Splendor, Nowhere), who tones down some of his more histrionic predilections, leaving audiences with an oppressively meditative look at the lives of two young men.
Neil was Coach's (Bill Sage, The Drum Beats Twice, Sin) favorite athlete. He had no father figure, and was happy at the attention and fun he had with Coach. Eventually, the games turned more sinister, and Coach (sporting a seventies porn moustache) begin abusing him, but pretending it was a game. The scars never healed. Neil began turning tricks with older men for extra money, emotionally detaching himself from the world. Even amongst his friends Wendy (Michelle Trachtenberg, Ice Princess, Eurotrip) and Eric (Jeff Licon, My Father's Love) he seems lifeless. Whether he realizes it or not, Neil is looking for answers. He decides to go to New York to try to find them there.
Brian is also looking for answers. He believes that his lost time was a result of an alien abduction. Ever since then, he was prone to nosebleeds and other ailments. Brian is the opposite of Neil; he's pretty much a nerd, and because of his frequent problems, he is somewhat of an outcast. He finds a kindred spirit in Avalyn Friessen (Mary Lynn Rajskub, Legally Blonde 2, Sweet Home Alabama), an abductee he contacted after he saw her on television. Yet, even after meeting her, he still feels incomplete. Araki switches between the Brian and Neil and the past and the present, in effect telling four stories. This also means that for the bulk of the film, Corbet and Gordon-Leavitt are not on screen together. Brian eventually discovers Neil, and decides to try to locate him, hoping that he will have some answers.
Araki does do a good job showing the horror and trauma that the two boys underwent as children. The scene where Coach makes his move is effectively frightening. Things change quickly from innocent fun to something much worse. The acting covers some of the slower points of the plot. Sage is pure slime. He comes across as extremely creepy, yet is subtle enough such that small children would not be able to tell. Thus, it is plausible that he can easily lure unsuspecting boys into his arms. Corbet and Gordon-Leavitt are better. Gordon-Leavitt is a seething cauldron of rage, yet one feel's that this anger arises from a deeper sadness. And while he gives an intense performances, it still feel's like he's trying to distance him self from this Third Rock days by choosing roles as whacked out as possible. Corbet also redeems his atrocious performance in Thunderbirds. Brian's reaction was the opposite of Neil's; instead of lashing out, he withdrew all his emotions, becoming a scared, timid young man. Nevertheless, the premise is something that probably comes across better on page than on film. Both young men are going through serious internal struggles, and finding a way to show that on screen is difficult. As a result, Mysterious Skin drags in places.

Not good, just better
I think the best way to describe myself as a political person is as a pragmatic progressive. Candidates invariably disappoint me by selling out some constituency or position that's important to me, and yet I support them at the ballot box because they're better than the alternative. To this day, the happiest vote I ever cast in a non-primary election was in the mayoral election in San Francisco in 2004--my options were Green Party candidate Matt Gonzales and centrist (for San Francisco) Democrat Gavin Newsom.
This is especially the case when it comes to national candidates. I'm never going to really be excited about a candidate who has a chance to win because I know that I'm outside the mainstream of political thought in the US. I want a more socialist economic structure. I'd like a parliamentary system to replace our Congress. I want the federal government to fully separate from religion, including removing "under God" from the pledge and "In God We Trust" from money. Universal health care (not insurance), decriminalizing marijuana use, rehab instead of jail time, green energy, no offshore drilling, an end to discrimination on any basis--you name it, I'm pretty much to the left of the country's position. So when it comes to national candidates, I always choose the one who isn't necessarily good, but is better than the other one who has a chance to win--that's the pragmatism.
Here's what I'm talking about in a specific case. Here's an article on the various problems that John McCain and Barack Obama have had with the American Muslim community lately. A McCain spokesman, Bud Day, fresh from his lying attacks against John Kerry in 2004, said the following:
One of John McCain's fellow Vietnam POWs compared Muslims to terrorists during a defense of the Iraq War on Friday, saying "The Muslims have said either we kneel or they're going to kill us."....
He added: "I don't intend to kneel and I don't advocate to anybody that we kneel, and John doesn't advocate to anybody that we kneel."
A party spokesperson later said that Day meant to say terrorists and Muslim just came out by accident. Right. I think that it speaks to McCain's character that he has Bud Day as an open ally now considering that in 2004 he angrily denounced the smear job the Swift-Boaters did on Kerry.
Obama has a problem with American Muslims as well--I've written about them--but his problem isn't that he's using "Muslim" as a synonym for "terrorist." It's that he's not embracing them closely enough, and not standing strongly enough against the use of Muslim as a slur. Not good--Obama should be pointing out loudly that there's nothing wrong with being a Muslim, if that's your decision--but better than the alternative, which is that Muslim = terrorist. On every issue I've looked at, this is the case--Obama isn't good, per se, but he is unquestionably better than the other options.

His Majesty The King
Posted on May 16, 2008 June 15, 2019 by The King
This being the first Devil May Cry game that I’ve ever played before (shocking, I know), I feel that my disappointment with the game must mostly be the result of my lack of experience with the franchise, although upon further reflection I suspect otherwise. Let’s begin at the beginning, and focus on the game before I voice my gripes.
At the beginning of the game, newcomer Nero hacks and slashes his way through streets swamped with demons that look like some hybrid Scyther/clown creatures from the Silent Hill universe. Like a rabid Velociraptor on crack cocaine, Nero blazes a gory trail of corpses on his way to his destination… the Opera House, a structure that conjures images of Byzantine architecture.
The building itself is really very sublime, and definitely has an air of the ethereal. I like the architecture in this game. But more on that later. In honor of the demonic deity Sparda, A ceremony is being hosted by the secretive theocratic oligarchy known as the Order of the Sword, his Holiness himself being the guest of honor.
Quite nonchalantly, Nero takes a seat right next to the game’s love interest and resident damsel in distress, Kyrie– who also just so happens to be the sister of His Holiness’ right hand man. Quite abruptly, the main event, a little soliloquy compliments of the Order of the Sword’s BMOC is cut short as stained glass shatters and a crimson flash darts from the rafters to the podium in the blink of an eye… yes, it’s just who you think it is, and he’s just assassinated Devil May Cry’s equivalent of the Pope.
At this point, you actually get to play the game. Your skills are for the first time put to the test as you square off with Dante himself. He proves to be a worthy adversary… after finally whittling his health meter down to 0, the resulting cut scene makes it clear that Dante hardly broke a sweat. He exits the scene, and you become the proverbial cat in pursuit of the mouse.
Along the way, you find yourself embroiled in an intricate labyrinth of intrigue that’s way more than you bargained for. There’s much more to the Order of the Sword than they let on… as you progress, you delve further and further into the miserable little pile of secrets that the OotS was all along. But of course, you probably figured that much out…
Really, the story is quite predictable, and painfully typical. I won’t ruin it for you, but the “twists” and “turns” of the game are really so boring that the whole thing is analogous to a roller coaster ride, where you can fully see and anticipate all that’s coming. Though I would classify the game as a more of a mine cart trip before I would ever call it a roller coaster ride. Now, I hate to be “that guy” whose review is the lone outlier in a sea of critical acclaim and fangasms, but I really didn’t find this game to be all that spectacular as a whole, and here’s why.
The Gameplay–
Well, I guess that this is a rather bad choice for the first bullet-marked item to to appear after I pledged to explain just why it is I don’t like the game, as the combat system is really quite superb. Combos, combos, combos! Yes, to master the game you must transcend blind button mashing and actually choreograph your moves with utmost care and consideration, an elaborate dance that demands near Force-like reflexes, for in the most heated rumbles even a split-second’s lapse of attention will invariably result in C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
This is an aspect of the game that I’m sure I was not able to really fully appreciate as I am really not privy to fighting games in the first place, but the fact that it squeezed some enjoyment out of me at all is testament to its greatness. Bottom line is, if the combat from the previous DMC games and their ilk is what you crave, you won’t be disappointed by this fourth installment in the franchise.
On to the specifics, now– you start out with a very… stripped-down moveset that at first may be represented (at least for the 360 version) by Y-Y-Y-Y (Red Queen [sword]), X-X-X-X-X-OHMYGODXXXXXXXXX!!!! (Blue Rose [pistol]), B (Devil Bringer [glowy gauntlet used to seize opponents a la the Hookshot or Grapple Beam, drawing them towards you]), rinse, wash, repeat. It doesn’t take long, however, to accumulate a plethora of new moves, resulting in a mind-boggling amount of potential combo attacks. You’re graded on just how masterfully you execute said chains. By avoiding harm and racking up the damage, you may rise from a “D” to “SSS.”
New moves may be purchased with the “crystalized demon blood” that you amass from both fallen foes and the very, very destructible environments (you can collect the stuff upon smashing a wooden chair for Pete’s sake) as opposed to heading to the local market (for all your demon slaying needs!), you instead make your purchases at the feet of large statues of bare-breasted, hourglass-brandishing cat women.
In addition to buying power-ups, you may also purchase health and magic restoration items, along with specialties such as “holy water”, which severely damages all nearby enemies. Oh, holy water, how often you’ve saved me from such dire straits!
Now, how about some brief weapon diagnostics. Listed below are Nero’s initial arms:
Red Queen- In classic Devil May Cry style, the game is not complete without the unbelievably humongous sword. You can squeeze the left trigger to rev it up, the sword’s coloration changing to a fiery crimson color and increasing its power for a brief period of time.
Blue Rose- Nero’s pistol. It’s not too powerful… at least not at first. It doesn’t fire very quickly either, and to be honest the weapon just seems useless compared to Dante’s two guns. Quite underpowered.
Devil Bringer- This is a real multi-purpose… implement? Ability? The Devil Bringer is Dante’s right hand, imbued with demon energy. It may be used in the hookshot fashion as described above, or also in a variety of other moves.
The Devil Bringer is important outside of battle, and is necessary to pull off certain maneuvers, like flinging yourself from floaty-glowing-orb to floaty-glowing-orb in order to reach high or distant places. Speaking of puzzles, the game is filled with them, but they’re really quite un-necessary for the most part, and they really just come across as being half-arsed. Like, for instance, there’s this one puzzle that’s like a giant board game. You fling a hurl up in the air, and depending on how it lands a certain number of tiles are illuminated depending on the luck of the draw. Either it lands on a blank space, a beneficial space… or a “random battle” space. This game of chance was un-enjoyably drawn out, though it was rather un-enjoyable in the first place, as I am not privy to games of chance. Regardless, the whole thing was rather un-necessary, and just a taste of what was yet to come. Vanishing tile bridges, giant obstacle-demolishing spinning tops, floaty-glowing-orbs… none of it is very fun, especially considering the rather finicky, often fixed camera.
While the environmental sound effects seem nice at first, one gets tired of the same old cling-clang-drip sounds of dark, dank dungeons. As for the combat music… I don’t think that they could have chosen a worse industrial metal-slash-grindcore (as in grinding my ears with a cheese grater) wannabe song to play during every single battle. Even if that was my type of music, I’m quite sure that I would consider it an embarrassment to the genre, nebulous as said genre may be.
See, here’s a little example of what I like to listen to… as I type this review, I’m listening to Ohta-San on the ukulele. I may lose myself in some Animal Collective later, or perhaps even fire up the ol’ Sansui so I may dose off to a little Siamese Dream (in vinyl form!).
Here’s a little sample of the battle music to whet your palette: if input = “fight” then do print “The time has come and so have I, I laugh last because you came to die. The damage, the pain subsides and I can see the fear clear when I look in your eyes. I’ll never kneel and I’ll never rest, you can tear the heart from my chest. I’ll make you see what I do best I’ll succeed as you breath your very last breath. Now I know how the angel fell, I know the tale and I know it too well. I’ll make you wish you had a soul to sell, I’ll strike you down and send you straight to hell. An army comes from deep within, beneath my soul beneath my skin. That is your ending i’m about to begin, my strength is pain and I’ll never give in.” loop.
The depth and thoughtfulness exhibited by the above lyrics are mirrored by the scripted dialogue contained in the cut scenes that are interspersed throughout the game seemingly for the sole purpose of breaking the transcendent awesomeness of battle.
What to expect from Nero: a tendency to swing moods from BAAAWWWW to IT’S ASS KICKING TIME so frequently and to such extremes that I’ve no doubt in my mind that his power stems from a kind of bi-polar mania rather than demons. His lines reflect such. Dante: Rightfully cocky quips peppered here and there. He’s Dante. No more, no less. Kyrie: Ehhhhh… fuuuuuu… squeak… Nero!
The Graphics– The graphics are beautiful, really. Absolutely gorgeous. Except for some of the shadow effects (the forest level bugged me out with the jaggy tree shadows and MOAR BLOOM), I really can’t complain. The graphics in the cut scenes are pretty much the graphics in-game. Granted, just like most new-gen games, DMC4 does suffer from clay/seran wrap syndrome, but at least (almost)everything looks nice and clean. If there’s one thing that I don’t mourn regarding the previous generation systems, it’s jaggies. If you really want a good look at the graphics, check out some trailers, as words really fail to do them justice.
Would I Recommend This Game?
It should be quite clear right now that DMC4 is not my cup of tea, and even if it were, there are just too many little (and big) annoyances, so many that they quite outweigh the enjoyable bits. I guess that if you’re familiar with the series and sufficiently glued to the… story, you might want to try it out. But I really don’t know. To the average gamer, I would not recommend this game.

Kagro in the Morning - March 29, 2013
Greg Dworkin updated us on the Connecticut legislature's progress toward a vote on new gun safety measures, and notes that a new polling report says the fervor for reform on a national level hasn't dimmed appreciably in the months since 12/14. Indianapolis "Moms Demand Action" rally for gun law reform draws a counter-protest: guys who just want to stand right up next to you with their AR-15s. Because Freedom. Just one of the weird meta twists that protesting about guns by showing up with guns can lend to an already tense situation. Also: a local city council declares all future laws restricting guns to be unconstitutional, because they love the Constitution so much, except for the part about supremacy and also the separation of powers. Later, a story about college fraternities and liability insurance leads to speculation about how they might feel about proposed laws allowing guns on campus. Despite her CPAC railing against high-priced political consultants, turns out most of Sarah Palin's PAC money has gone to... high-priced political consultants. Surprise! Just the latest in a long line of pols who use their PACs as lifestyle slush funds. Finally, we finish up on the "trickle-down consumption" article, and yell at WalMart some more, this time for contemplating a plan to trick their customers into becoming unpaid delivery drivers. Dolts, or evil geniuses? You decide.

Green Business: IKEA Adds “Restore” to Sustainability Goals
Reduce, reuse, recycle.
Good start. But we need a few more letters.
On the front end, I propose, let’s add an R for “Refuse.”
The world’s climate change challenges aren’t going to be solved by doing better while we still take and make too much. Speaking as a First World citizen, at the heart of it, we have to use less. Of everything.
With that out of the way, let’s look at the back end. After the R for Recycle, let’s make room for Rot.
As in, whatever you can’t recycle, please send to compost. (Feel free to quibble to be had that composting is already rolled in to Recycling, but I feel it bears special attention.)
Which brings us to the most important R of all: Restore.
There’s a compelling case to made going past doing less harm, or slowing the rate of harm, or ceasing the harmful activities entirely.
If the next generation is going to have a world that they can thrive in, or any world at all the ways things are going, we have some cleaning up to do.
The next active step is to heal, to fix, and Restore our natural world, ecosystems and communities to sustainable, balanced health.
I’m starting to see examples of this in the business world with Sustainability commitments that explicitly address Restoration.
As an example, IKEA just issued new 2020 Sustainability targets to increase the availability of clean water where it operates.
Via edie.net:
IKEA to become ‘water positive’ by 2020
IKEA Group has revealed its new sustainability strategy which includes measures to balance its water footprint and contribute to the increased availability of clean water in the communities where it operates.
A Restore mindset is about leaving the world a better place, which is exactly how American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson defined success:
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place…to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.”
Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot, Restore.
I’ll be on the lookout for more Restore examples like this one from IKEA.
Green Government: NYC Appoints New Green Boss
Sustainability is SOP.
At least in NYC.
The City’s government just appointed a new Sustainability Chief to oversee its ambitious plaNYC 2030 environmental agenda.
Via NYTimes.com:
A New Sustainability Chief for New York
In a few weeks Sergej Mahnovski, the current director of energy policy for Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, will take over the sustainability office, which puts changes into effect related to the mayor’s PlaNYC environmental agenda.
This plan goes well beyond nice green spaces. The plaNYC agenda looks to fundamentally recreate how the city operates and meet the challenges of climate change, growing populations, unsettled economics, and an aging infrastructure.
NYC’s reputation as the Greatest City in the World has long rested on its grittiness. Now it’s being reinvented as a great place to live, work and place for its greenness.
Green Business: Updated U.S. Gov’t “Green Guides”
Change is hard. Unless you make it easy.
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has issued revised, updated “Green Guides” to help U.S. businesses ensure that the claims they make about the environmental attributes of their products are truthful and non-deceptive.
In other words, to avoid green-washing.
Via FTC.gov:
FTC Issues Revised “Green Guides”
Will Help Marketers Avoid Making Misleading Environmental Claims
These guides provide sensible, practical, middle-of-the-road direction for businesses.
Helping to make the right (and legal) way simple to understand is a triple win for businesses, consumers, and the planet.
Green Business: UK Supermarket Chain Achieves Zero Food Waste Goal
Sometimes being a big zero is a good thing.
Kudos to UK-based Waitrose food retailer for achieving its zero-food-waste-to-landfill goal ahead of its year-end schedule.
The chain’s 280 locations now re-purpose, donate, and recycle everything that would otherwise go into the trash.
Via Environmentalleader.com:
Waitrose Sends Zero Food Waste to Landfill
Waitrose has achieved its target of sending zero food waste to landfill two months ahead of schedule.
For everyone who says it’s “too hard” to achieve sustainability goals in a tight-margin business like food delivery, Waitrose shows it can be done.
Green Science: Crunching Climate Data
Big Data is cool.
Not just any computer can handle massive data sets and circuit frying calculations
It take a special kind of computer. Super, actually.
Enter “Yellowstone”: a new supercomputer solely dedicated to climate science at the National Center for Atmospheric Research’s (NCAR) Wyoming Supercomputing Center
Via treehugger.com:
World’s Most Powerful Supercomputer Devoted to Climate Change Turns On
The 1.5 petaflop IBM computer can run an astonishing 1.5 quadrillion calculations per second, ranking it in the top 20 most powerful computers in the world. As Time Techland reports, that means a mammoth amount of computing power will now be dedicated to “studying everything from hurricanes and tornadoes to geomagnetic storms, tsunamis, wildfires, air pollution and the location of water beneath the earth’s surface.”
Yellowstone gives climate scientists a powerful new tool for forecasting weather patterns, modelling climate change impacts, and precipitation changes.
Green Politics: The Word Not Spoken (Yet)
Climate Change. Hasn’t come up in the debates.
Via ScientificAmerican.com:
Climate Change a No-Show at Presidential Debate, but Candidates Clash on Energy
Three debates down and one to go, and climate change has still not been addressed by the presidential candidates and their running mates in face-to-face confrontations.
I’m hoping there’s a “yet” at the end of that sentence. Hasn’t come up in the debates yet.
There’s one more chance on Oct. 22 for the top men on the ticket to grab the reins.
Will climate change will become a top national energy and security focus, or not?
If I were going to handicap the bet, I’d put my money on President Obama.
The 2012 Republican platform doesn’t even include the words “climate changes.” (In a sharp contrast to the 2008 platform.) Hard to discuss something you don’t acknowledge.
President Obama’s 2012 Democratic platform speaks the word, and loudly:
2012 Democratic Platform
We know that global climate change [emphasis mine] is one of the biggest threats of this generation—an economic, environmental, and national security catastrophe in the making. We affirm the science of climate change, commit to significantly reducing the pollution that causes climate change, and know we have to meet this challenge by driving smart policies that lead to greater growth in clean energy generation and result in a range of economic and social benefits.
Not that the future-looking business world needs any convincing.
Among the sustainable business community, climate change is a top 3 priority.
Climate Change Among Top Sustainability Priorities for Business, Poll Finds
Human rights, workers’ rights and climate change are the top three sustainability priorities for companies in the coming year, according to a poll of 500 business leaders.
Tens of thousands of citizens agree and want to hear the candidates talk about climate change at the last debate. This is one of the many petitions circulating on social media.
We can’t afford to wait anymore for government to fully partner with business and civil society on climate change.
There’s precious little time left for “yet.”
Green Business: Sustainability for Everyone
Here’s a guest post I wrote for the NJ Audubon’s Weis Ecology Center Sustainability blog.
I enjoyed writing this educational, consumer-focused piece for visitors to the NJ Audubon website.
7 Ways Sustainability is Positively Changing How We Work, Live, and Raise Our Kids
Have you heard the “S-word” recently? Sustainability. It may have come up on a company’s website under Corporate Responsibility, or your town’s environmental commission. At its simplest, Sustainability means living and working today so that future generations can thrive.
Sustainability grows out of what we used to call being “green” or “environmentally friendly” at home and at work. But, Sustainability is bigger to embrace global challenges.
When we talk about Sustainability, we are talking about combating climate change, building green cities and businesses, improving human health, shifting to renewable energies, and preserving the environment, as a start. These are the things we need to do to leave our children a greener, bluer world.
Whatever you call it, Sustainability is changing how we work, live and raise our kids for the better. Here’s 7 ways—big and small—to get you thinking:
1. Healthier homes: Once hard to find, less-smelly and less-toxic “low VOC” paint is now available at every home improvement store. Safe, effective cleaning products without poison are on every supermarket’s shelves. While still pricier, growing demand for organic milk, eggs, produce and everything else has brought it into reach for more families.
2. Renewable & Clean Energy for Everyone: If someone in your neighborhood, town, or schools doesn’t have solar panels already, you will soon. You might not drive a hybrid car but odds are you know someone who does. More municipal vehicles are being run on lower-polluting natural gas.
3. Savvier Workplaces. Being green is good for business, so companies of all sizes have learned to cut expenses with more efficient CFL and LED lighting, less packaging, starting recycling programs and being more conscious of environmental issues. Don’t see this happening at your job? Start a Green Team and show the bosses how Sustainability helps the bottom line.
4. Lower Energy & Water Bills—We all know that it’s cheaper to save energy than to make it. Put that into practice with energy efficiency fixes like low-flow showerheads, and draft-sealing kits that save you money immediately. Shopping for new home appliances? Energy Star-rated appliances use less electricity, less water, and need less detergent to run well.
5. Technology Connections—From long-distance learning on Ipads to Skyping and live-streaming content, technology brings us together even when we are oceans apart. An amazing pay-by-text app let us donate money to help victims of a natural disaster within minutes. None of us would have been able to imagine that 10 years ago.
6. Stronger Communities—Sustainability helps us take action locally to make our neighborhoods and communities better. Take a look at the Sustainable Jersey program for inspiration about how NJ citizens are taking action to make their hometowns healthier and better places to live.
7. Belief in a better tomorrow for our kids. Here in New Jersey, we just came out of the hottest summer on record. Climate change from increasing carbon emissions is heating up our planet and impacting our lives today. While sobering, I choose to believe that the tide has turned and we can—and are—taking action before it’s too late. I see this truth in school gardens popping up all over, corporate giants like Wal-Mart installing acres of solar panels, recycling becoming normal, and kids who can name 20 kinds of birds on the wing.
In every area of our lives, from work, home, in our town, and at school, Sustainability is about the solutions we are finding together.

KWS SAAT SE (ISIN: DE0007074007) and its international subsidiaries continued with their profitability in fiscal 2014/2015. Despite the tough market environment and planned higher expenditure for research and development (R&D) and distribution activities, the KWS Group showed operating income of €138.0 ( previous year: 138.4) million. As already announced on September 1, it was thus above the original expectations and, at 10.9%, markedly higher than the long-term EBIT goal of 10%. Net sales at the KWS Group rose by 7.0% to €1,260.4 (1,178.0) million.
Unlike in the previous year, net sales and expenses of the 50:50 joint ventures are not allowed to be recognized in the KWS Group’s statement of comprehensive income due to first-time application of International Financial Reporting Standard 11 (IFRS 11). The figures from the previous year have thus been adjusted to enable comparison in the current Annual Report.
In € millions
According to segment reporting
According to IFRS statement of comprehensive income
(application of IFRS 11)
Internal corporate controlling will still take into account the net sales and expenses from the 50:50 joint ventures. To enable better assessment and greater transparency of the individual segments’ operating performance and our capital expenditure, the following figures include, as in previous years, the KWS Group’s 50:50 joint ventures proportionately.
Segment reporting: All segments with an EBIT margin above 10%
The Corn Segment increased its net sales by 5.5% to €754.4 (714.9) million in the year under review. There were considerable boosts to growth in particular in North and South America, while cultivation area declined overall worldwide. Adjusted for exchange rate effects – appreciation of the US dollar and Argentinean peso and depreciation of the Brazilian real, Russia ruble and Ukrainian hryvnia – net sales were €736.0 million. Selling and research expenses rose by €31.7 million over the previous year, giving income for the segment (EBIT) of €84.2 (100.9) million, or an EBIT margin of 11.2 (14.1)%.
The Sugarbeet Segment, which also includes KWS’ seed potato business, grew net sales by 11.2% to €390.5 (351.1) million. Of that figure, sugarbeet seed business accounted for €364.4 (318.5) million and seed potato business for €26.1 (32.6) million. In particular, positive trends in North America, Russia, Turkey and France contributed to this strong overall rise. The segment’s income (EBIT) increased above-proportionately to €93.0 (70.2) million. In particular the strong performance in North America, positive exchange rate effects and lower allowances on receivables had a positive impact, with the result that the significant increase in selling and research expenditure was more than compensated for. The EBIT margin was 23.8 (20.0)%.
Net sales in the Cereals Segment increased by 3.7% to €111.3 (107.3) million. That was an good performance despite low consumer prices for wheat, barley and rapeseed; net sales of barley seed group-wide even increased by around 50%. The complete acquisition of MOMONT added about €6 million to revenue in the year under review. Lower net sales of high-quality hybrid rye varieties and the planned increase in function costs resulted in a decline in the segment’s income (EBIT) to €12.0 (17.1 million), giving an EBIT margin of 10.8 (15.9)%.
All cross-segment costs, such as expenditure for all central functions at the KWS Group and long-term research projects, are carried in the Corporate Segment. Its income is therefore always negative. Due to the increase in R&D spending, its EBIT in fiscal 2014/2015 was
€ –51.2 (–49.7) million.
“Despite some turbulence in agricultural markets and a reduction in cultivation area in many places, we were able to stay on our growth path in the past fiscal year,” said Hagen Duenbostel, Chief Executive Officer of KWS SAAT SE. “Our objective is still to develop the company sustainably by further expanding our research and breeding activities to develop strong, competitive varieties.” The R&D budget rose as planned by 15.9% to €173.8 (150.0) million in fiscal 2014/2015, corresponding to an R&D intensity of 13.8 (12.7)% relative to net sales. The KWS Group obtained 429 (336) marketing approvals for new varieties across all crops, so the product pipeline is very well filled. At the same time, global distribution structures were expanded further as part of the company’s continuing expansion of its international business operations. Selling expenses consequently increased by 11.5% to €236.7 (212.3) million. Net income for the year was €84.0 (80.3) million.
Additional licensing agreements
Additional long-term licensing agreements have been concluded with Syngenta in order to strengthen the technology platforms of KWS and Vilmorin & Cie, listed company of Limagrain. These agreements authorize KWS and Vilmorin & Cie and their common joint ventures GENECTIVE and AGRELIANT on a separate and independent basis to make commercial use of current and future genetically improved corn traits developed and marketed by Syngenta. The upfront payments made by the respective companies total 200 million US dollars. Further payments may mature in the long run, depending on regulatory approvals. The agreement complements and widens KWS’ future product portfolio in addition to the existing long-term trait licensing agreements.
“As an independent seed company it has always been our primary desire to deliver the best products to the farmer. With this renewed agreement we will be able to meet the requirements of our customers, based on the global strength of our corn germplasm and a wide range of competitive GM corn traits delivering sustainable solutions. Furthermore the agreement allows GENECTIVE to follow its open architecture strategy of combining its own corn GM traits with leading trait platforms in the industry,” commented Hagen Duenbostel.
Capital expenditure increases by 70%
The KWS Group invested a total of €140.6 (82.6) million in fiscal 2014/2015, around €58 million more than in the previous year. The focus was on the acquisition of the remaining 51% share in the French seed company SOCIETÉ DE MARTINVAL S.A. (MOMONT) and measures to support planned future growth, such as establishment of a corn processing plant in Serbia and various projects to further expand the Einbeck location.
Unchanged dividend of €3.00 a share proposed
The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board intend to continue the earnings-oriented dividend policy, which envisages a payout of 20% to 25% of the KWS Group’s net income for the year, for fiscal 2014/2015. Their joint proposal on the appropriation of the profits to shareholders is to keep the dividend unchanged at €3.00 a share. Subject to the consent of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on December 17, 2015, a total of €19.8 million from the net retained profit of KWS SAAT SE will therefore be distributed.
Handover to next generation at Arend Oetker
Dr. Arend Oetker has informed KWS that he has transferred 95% of the shares of his asset management company in equal parts to the next generation of the family – Marie Schnell, Johanna Oetker, Leopold Oetker, Clara Oetker and Ludwig Oetker – as part of an anticipated succession. This company, Kommanditgesellschaft Dr. Arend Oetker Vermögensverwaltungsgesellschaft mbH & Co., holds 25% of the voting shares in KWS SAAT SE. Arend Oetker has transferred entrepreneurial responsibility for the KWS shares held by the Oetker family to his daughter Dr. Marie Theres Schnell, Munich.
Arend Oetker has pooled his shares in KWS with those of the founding family Büchting since 1994. Arend Oetker’s heirs have now notified KWS that they have likewise joined this pool effective October 7, 2015. The pool still holds the majority of voting rights in KWS SAAT SE, meaning that the families Büchting and Oetker ensure the company’s independence. Both families intend to continue their joint involvement over the long term.
Forecast: Continued sustainable earnings outlook for 2015/2016
Application of International Financial Reporting Standard 11 (IFRS 11) means that the forecast for the KWS Group’s statement of comprehensive income will no longer include the net sales and expenses of the 50:50 joint ventures. In its future financial reporting, KWS will mainly use this forecast as a benchmark and report on the KWS Group’s net sales and profit in accordance with the new standard.
“Our strategic focus is still on expanding our business operations in our young growth markets and increasing our already high level of competitiveness in our core markets,” said Eva Kienle, Chief Financial Officer of KWS SAAT SE. “We’ll therefore further increase our expenditure on research and development and distribution activities.” These measures will be supported by extensive investment projects. A particular focus of that will be on expanding and modernizing production plants in the growth markets of Eastern and Southeastern Europe and in the U.S. and on expanding research and development facilities at several locations. All in all, the Executive Board expects net sales to grow further in a range between 5% and 10% and the EBIT margin to be at least 10.5% in fiscal 2015/2016.

eBay has unveiled a new company logo—replacing its previous ‘floating’, overlapping letters with a more traditional design in the same color scheme.
According to eBay president Devin Wenig, he said that the new logo is part of the company’s effort to reinvent the 17-year-old brand and build a new eBay.
“Our refreshed logo is rooted in our proud history and reflects a dynamic future,” Wenig said in a post.
With the new logo, the company is also expected to revamp its site—making navigation much simpler and enjoyable for their online visitors.
The new logo will officially go live on their site and appear in advertising and marketing campaigns in mid-October.

Whats (Not) in a Name
by Rabbi Mendel Weinbach zt'l
When a Jordanian couple named their son Yitzchak Rabin, they probably did not anticipate the consequences. The social pressures from their anti-Israel neighbors became so intense that they were forced to leave Jordan and become refugees in Israel.
When they applied for citizenship in the country whose former prime ministers name was the cause of their statelessness, there was an initial reluctance to accommodate them. "After all," it was argued, "who asked them to name their baby that way?"
In the end, however, humanitarian considerations and media pressure moved the Minister of the Interior to grant the family at least temporary citizenship.

PRISTINE AUDIO PASC 189 [67:15]
Now that Naxos Historical seems to be concentrating on a small number of more central things – one would have thought a few years ago that this Panizza release was very much in their line, or Biddulph’s – it’s left to the investigative likes of Pristine Audio to produce and release it. One of the producers and sound restorers I would have thought a likely one to assume responsibilities is Mark Obert-Thorn, and he has indeed done so, but for PA, for whom he seems now to do an increasing amount of work. I mention this as a preface because it seems to reinforce the drift away from historical releases by Naxos, for one of several reasons one assumes, and the rise of Pristine Audio.
Ettore Panizza (1875-1967) is best known for his legacy as an operatic conductor. He conducted Turandot in the Alfano version but his recordings are sparse. He was entrusted with some Mendelssohn recordings by Italian HMV in 1931. It was perhaps unusual repertoire for so well known an operatic director but there was clearly an affinity. He leads the Italian Symphony with vigour and indeed a certain panache. The first movement fugato is nicely pointed, and he doesn’t sacrifice detail for excessive speed. Articulation certainly doesn’t suffer. Portamenti are brisk in the slow movement which is attractively spun, the third movement moving with attractive contour. It’s only the finale that slightly disappoints. It’s rather over-emphatic and lacking in communicative drive, oddly. For a saltier take on the Saltarello one should turn to a recording made three months later – Harty’s (Dutton CDBP9781) where we find the Ulsterman in ferocious mood; indeed he’s in slashing mode for much of the symphony. So if you were surveying the choices form your armchair you’d go to Harty for vitesse and adrenalin – and a very fast take on the Andante (with a real con moto) and Panizza for a more leisurely spin. Later on of course you could have your pick; Beecham and the NYPSO, Koussevitzky and the Boston, Szell and his Clevelanders, Poulet and his eponymous orchestra on English Decca; and a traversal by Rossi and the Turin Symphony also on Decca that I’d like to hear.
Fingal’s Cave reinforces the feeling that Panizza and the La Scala orchestra worked very tautly together. There are pervasive portamenti - note from 6:30 on in particular – but the wind principals phrase imaginatively. The Wedding March is invigoratingly dispatched with some resplendent trumpet ring.
There is a most worthwhile addition – far more than a curio, though it’s that too, in a way. This is Felipe Boero’s El Matrero (The Bandit) of which there are six brief excerpts totalling some twenty-six minutes in length. The machinations of the plot needn’t detain is but the names of (especially) Apollo Granforte, tenor Pedro Mirassou and Nena Juárez certainly should. The extracts were recorded very soon after Panizza directed the premiere at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires in 1929. On their evidence it’s a work of vivid verismo lyricism. There are some marvellously evocative localised effects – a guitar strum imitation for instance – as well as full-on love music and all three singers enter into the spirit with panache and total commitment.
With vivid transfers, this disc does for Panizza what Pristine Audio is also doing for the conductor Alfred Herz. This represents good, imaginative work all round.

6 Lessons from IoT Ninjas
Monday Aug 3rd 2015 by Ann All
Early adopters are experiencing Internet of Things successes – and learning hard lessons. Their hits and misses can help companies just embarking on IoT initiatives.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is shaping up to be a bona fide phenomenon, with Gartner estimating that the number of Internet-connected "things" will hit 4.9 billion this year and reach 25 billion by 2020. Given this steep growth trajectory, companies are keen to capitalize on IoT opportunities. As with any nascent technology, though, doing so can be tricky at first. Good thing we can all learn a thing or two from early IoT adopters.
Here are six lessons from early IoT adopters that can help companies with their own Internet of Things initiatives:
Leverage Real-time IoT Data
Tony Cosentino, an analyst with Ventana Research, recently shared his view that IoT's biggest value lies in operational intelligence.
"As IoT is real time or near real time, it is of most value in making immediate or same-day decisions. The faster you can integrate data in the data store and analyze it, the more successful you will be with IoT," he said, adding that companies need to "move beyond a query and report mentality into more of an event-centric mentality."
That is what Wind River, a subsidiary of Intel which has an operating system used by many airlines, is doing with its Helix Device Cloud, which collects data from sensors or devices and puts it into the cloud for analysis. While older systems gathered data, then processed it and sent it elsewhere for analysis, now the company siphons off sensor data at the point it is generated, sends one feed on the normal route and another directly to the point of analysis in the cloud.
"To be accurate and responsive enough, you need to go directly to the cloud and not just via control systems. That way, we are able to send the control system alerts or guidance in near-real time," said Chip Downing, the company's senior director of Aerospace Defense.
Analyzing data mid-flight rather than waiting to download it all upon landing allows airlines to tune engines more precisely, alter flight paths to avoid bad weather, take advantage of better winds on a slightly different course and set up maintenance actions on the ground so crews are ready well in advance of a plane's arrival.
Get a Services Mentality
Many IoT early adopters are finding success by creating business models that create new services. For instance, Schneider Electric is now giving away thermostats instead of selling them. The devices have sensors that detect sound, motion and temperature. If the temperature drops or no sound and motion are detected, the system is programmed to conserve energy.
Companies pay a monthly subscription fee for the service and Schneider Electric guarantees a 20 percent energy reduction, which typically yields greater savings than the monthly charge.
The company is also adding IoT sensors to mousetraps so it can offer a rodent removal service rather than just selling traps. Again, this switches the business model from a one-time sale to a monthly subscription fee. The idea is that restaurants, grain stores and other clients will pay to have rodents quickly removed so they do not have to worry about decomposing animals being discovered by customers or health inspectors.
An HP executive told attendees at last year's Connected Cloud Summit that his company now offers a service to consumers in which they connect their printers to the Internet and pay a monthly, usage-based fee to get ink delivered to their homes before they run out. "What's cool about this is that [because of access to the printer] we can improve shipping costs. We can pass on a lot of that savings to the consumer," the executive said, adding, "The real transformation in business models is when you begin to connect consumer IoT and industrial IoT together."
Make IoT Security a Priority
Fiat Chrysler just announced a voluntary safety recall of some 1.4 million vehicles after security researchers were able to exploit a software flaw to remotely commandeer a Jeep Cherokee. This incident spotlighted the security concerns associated with newly connected devices such as automobiles. A study from HP found that all 10 Internet-connected security systems it assessed, including video cameras and motion detectors, contained vulnerabilities that hackers could use to remotely access and control devices.
Given this, it is obviously critical to address security when developing applications for the Internet of Things. Daniel Miessler, a practice principal at HP Fortify, told eSecurity Planet that while there is nothing intrinsic to IoT app development that makes it difficult to code securely, such apps are more complex than many apps because they often contain Web, mobile and networking components.
Among six tips for developing secure IoT applications that Miessler shared: employ developers with appropriate Web development skills; build apps on a platform that handles at least some of the elements of a secure IoT app, such as authentication; and ensure IoT apps have a mechanism to securely update firmware.
Use IoT Development Platforms
For those put off by the potential complexity of developing Internet of Things applications, companies including Xively, ThingWorx, Buglabs, Carriots and Seecontrol offer cloud-based development platforms that provide many elements of IoT infrastructure so companies can focus on building apps that access sensor data without worrying about areas like provisioning and authentication.
Xively, for example, offers a library of connectors -- small bits of code -- that can be inserted onto various sensor manufacturers' control boards. These embedded clients take data from sensors, package it and send it in a published message format to the Xively platform. The platform then stores the data ready for an application to make use of it.
Companies can build apps in their language of preference and access data on Xively's platform using the Xively API, https or other standard means. This speeds the development process. According to Xively's senior product marketing manager, who spoke to Enterprise Apps Today earlier this year, building a first prototype IoT application can take as little as a week.
Consider IoT Infrastructure Challenges
Not surprisingly, many organizations will need to reconsider their infrastructures, given the dramatic increase in data that will be generated by sensors in Internet-connected devices. A highly scalable infrastructure is a necessity, said Andreas Mai, director of Smart Connected Vehicles for Cisco Systems.
Speaking at a conference late last year, Mai said current satellite, cellular and cloud networks will be overwhelmed. One solution he suggested is supplementing cellular networks and the cloud with additional networking from what he termed "the fog." This is, in essence, a localized network that supplements the cloud, satellite and landline systems, perhaps only operating in the vicinity of one junction.
Using connected cars as an example, he said, "It isn’t possible for cars to receive external impulses from traffic lights, mapping programs and other vehicles if it all has to go via the cloud. So the IoT will require a lot more compute power on the edge of the network."
Understand How IoT Impacts Data Management
Achieving the promised benefits of the Internet of Things will be tough without first considering how it will impact data management capabilities. In addition to assessing their infrastructures and determining where changes may be needed to support new demands created by the IoT, organizations will also need to evaluate their data management processes, workflow and staffing.
Mobeen Khan, executive director of Product Marketing Management at AT&T, which is beginning to use sensor data from its land line and cellular networks to attain better control and optimization of field services, said organizations must determine what type of data is important, what should be transmitted immediately, what should be stored and for how long, and what information should be simply discarded. Those that do not complete this exercise will end up with an overwhelming pile of data, when only a relatively small amount yields real value.
"Some data just needs to be read and thrown away," said Khan, speaking at a conference late last year.
Takeaway: IoT on Executive Agenda
Companies that employ these best practices and figure out how to use the Internet of Things to solve business problems and/or create new opportunities will gain a real competitive edge.
As IDC analyst Dan Vesset told Enterprise Apps Today just last month, "Rapid growth will elevate data quality, privacy and data governance issues onto the executive agenda. The biggest company in the world right now is Walmart and that might well be because it used data better than other retailers."

Intestines In The Streets
Been busy this weekend and didn't come up with anything clever, and yet I don't want to just type up a batch of movie reviews, because I can always do that; I've got a godzillion of 'em. So, I figured I'd try this, fast 'n' sloppy like.
The title of the post is also the title of a short story I once wrote, about a buildup of preservatives that gave people's innards a life of their own, so they'd bust free of your abdomen and slither away. You needed them more than they needed you, y'see? It was disgusting and more than a bit stupid, but I wrote it in the 80's when "splatterpunks" were ruling horror fiction, and I was looking at guys like Skipp & Spector & David Schow and thinking, "I can be waaaay grosser than these guys!" As if being gross was really what it was all about.
So, why use that for the title of this blog entry? Because I figured I'd give you a capsule version of the plots of things I've written. At first I thought this was too self-indulgent (really, why shouldja give a damn since I'm not John Grisham?) but then I thought how curious I get if I find out somebody writes; I'm always glad to find out somebody else writes novels or stories, and always want to know what kind of stuff they write, what their plots are. Even if I don't know the person. Like, I'm still frustrated that some people I did a "write a novel in a month" exercise with a couple years back never told the rest of us what their story was going to be about. Even though most of 'em didn't finish it, they should have at least let us know the basic plot, just to scratch that curiosity itch.
So, not that you're necessarily curious, but, just in case... here goes.
I don't know how many novels I've written, actually. I know how many I've got that might actually be publishable if I tweaked 'em enough, and that's around five. But in high school I turned out a ton of 'em, all nearly-plotless crap, but novel-length. When The Road Warrior came out, it had a huge impact on me, and I was also reading a lot of Executioner-type series in study hall (I'll probably do a blog post on those somewhere down the line, 'cuz they were a pretty funny Reagan-era phenomenon, held over from the pulp days), so I figured, "I'll write an action series based around a post-apocalyptic highway mayhem scenario!"
So, I wrote about half a dozen of these halfass sumbitches, with the basic plotline being this: the Russians dropped biological weapons on the U.S. in the form of gas bombs that made anyone exposed into a homicidal lunatic, bent on killing anyone who hadn't gotten the gas. (O' course, that's yer average zombie plot, but they're not dead). Through all of this a group of teens, mostly girls who were incredibly hot, became highly-mobile mercenaries, driving around the loonie-infested highways (also full bandit biker gangs who hadn't gotten the loonie-gas but were taking advantage of all the anarchy to become warlords), delivering things from place to place and killing as many people as possible. No real plot to any of 'em, just driving, with a bunch of people to get in a gunfight with showing up every 3 pages or so. Idiotic high-school junk, but good exercise 'cuz it showed me that I could turn out something novel length. I still have them somewhere, tied up in a dusty, yellowing bunch, but I don't remember the names of any of 'em, and it's irrelevant anyway. They're juvenalia.
I also wrote a bunch of horror short stories. Like I said, I was trying to out-splatter the splatterpunks... and, since I actually was listening to punk rock (and thought I was the only person in the state doing so, since I never saw anyone else who was into the stuff until I ran into Igor in college) I was trying to out-punk them, too. As in, I was going to use my writing to upset status-quo society and spread chaos. That kinda bullshit. I tried to intentionally piss off my teacher and classmates in my college creative writing classes by writing aggressively-transgressively-nasty stories like "Soon The Frost" (in which a psycho insulates his shack for the winter by harvesting the fat from the morbidly obese people he murders), "(Inverted) Cross To Bear" (in which the re-discovery of a necklace left by a guy who ritually dismembered his girlfriend with a Ginsu knife sparks a violent Satanic possession), "Charnel Knowledge" (in which a guy finds a human molar in his yard and becomes so obsessed with death that he tries to bury himself alive), "Seeing Eyes" (a guy tries to buy hunting dogs from a crazy old blind man in the woods, only to find the guy's been interbreeding monstrosities), and "Blue Mirrors" (in which a guy wandering the beach with a hangover can't decide if he cut a girl's arms off with a broken bottle, or if someone else did it).
My literary assault worked really well; my teacher couldn't stand my stuff. He did like my writing, but he loathed the subject matter. He was so desperate to discourage me from writing it that when I mercifully wrote a crime story called "S.O.B." (which was a total Mickey Spillane pastiche) he got a visiting author to read it to the whole class and discuss how I should write more things like that instead. Didn't deter me from the horror stuff, although I did write him a biker-saves-witnessing-church-girl-stuck-on-the-wrong-side-of-town story called "Missionary Postion," just to be nice. I got a "this could be publishable in the right place!" note for that... still trying to get me off the horror track. In vain. :)
Anyway, even outside of the class I kept writing a bunch of other short stories, with titles like "Slaughterhouse Slamdance," "Embryonicus Necrovivicus," "Morbidus Rex," "Maggoty Remains," "Meathook Fuck," "Mortisectus Autopsiorium," "Somnambulus Mortuarium," (I thought I was fucking clever using faux-Latinate titles, y'see) "Night of the Living Sleaze," "Necrotic Insemination," "Sister Mary Fuck Face," "Fungod," and other such I'm-trying-so-hard-to-offend-somebody childishness (a trait which would later be picked up by death metal bands like Cannibal Corpse). Plots involved things like a guy building a god out of rotting body parts in the attic, farm kids using their dead grandpa as a scarecrow (or trying to - it didn't work 'cuz the crows kept pecking at 'im), undead anorexics eating a fashion designer who promoted the "waif" look, a guy possessed by some weird unidentifiable thing in a jar in his refrigerator (that one ended when the guy tried to carve off all his own flesh and preserve it in jars), and a guy trapped on a gravel bar in a river with hordes of starving rats. Just pleasant-ass stuff.
Then, I wrote a horror novel called Rictus Grin. It was a zombie thing in which Satanists raised demons which entered and animated corpses, which then went around killing to create more corpses to give homes to their demonic brethren. Coincidentally, a similar idea was later used by a writer named Brian Keene for a couple of pretty successful books, but his were much better written than mine was. Rictus Grin had a few good ideas in it, but it's mostly still juvenalia. I do like the title, though. I may have to re-use that someday.
Since those days I've written only a few other short stories, such as "Shrouded In Rain" (a guilty woman sees her dead boyfriend naked in the rain whenever there's a storm, and when she finally chases after him, her equally-guilty mother starts seeing her naked in the rain), "Damp Basements of Heaven" (a somewhat-unbalanced guy who does some urban exploration in a storm drain system ends up regretting it), "Up The Stairs Where The Windows Are Painted Black" (a passerby tries to save kids from a burning house, but a weirdly-deformed evil baby-thing won't let him), "Skull Punx Rule!" (a new punk rock movement takes death-rock a little too far), "Sarcastic Gods" (a guy wakes up too early and finds out the insane creator hasn't prepared that day's world for him quite yet). Mostly I've concentrated on novels, though, so I'll go into those.
Death Metal Creeps is a horror novel about a death metal band who are being followed by some overenthusiastic, degenerate fans who take the band's Satanic messages far too seriously and commit torture murders as sacrifices to Satan. When they finally learn that the band doesn't really mean all the Satanic stuff, they feel betrayed and decide to square things with Satan by killing the band members. There are some pretty harsh scenes in this that I'd probably have to tone down if I ever wanted to get it published, but several people have read it and liked it despite incidents of cannibalism, necrophilia, and razor-blade swallowing.
Orphans is kind of a sociological horror novel about a bunch of runaway kids using a vacant house as a squat. One of them is a psychotic, and when they kick him out for getting violent, he resents it. His parents had kicked him out, too, y'see, and he killed them for it. So, the other runaway kids get stalked by their crazy ex-friend, and they don't want to go to the cops for help because they'd get sent back to their abusive homes. This would need some work in the revision, but it's serviceable.
Deadhouse is another horror novel in which a small group of teens learn that their neighbors, the Spellmans, are dead in their bed upstairs. Nobody knows how they died, because there's not a mark on them. After the kids get over being creeped out, they start using the Spellman house as a place to hang out... which may be what the Spellmans planned. This is a pretty freaky, dream-logic kind of novel. A friend of mine whose husband is a prolific author liked this enough to try to market it to Tor Books, but we were half-assed about it and didn't get anywhere with that. I've never bothered trying to sell any of this stuff; I have a weird plan to have about a dozen potentially-saleable books stored up before I ever try getting any published.
Signal 30 is something I wrote for the previously-mentioned "write a novel in a month" discipline exercise a couple years back. The object was to write a novel at least 50,000 words long in a month. This one's pure pulp horror, and at first I thought it was junk, but now I kinda like it, because it's got no pretension to it, and the horror's hardcore. Basically, a bunch of college kids go urban-exploring in a storm drain (I have a weird fascination for storm drains and urban exploration in general) and end up trapped in pitch-black tunnels with a bunch of carnivorous walking dead. My goal was basically to create a bunch of nice characters, make you fall in love with them, and then have them killed off as gruesomely and unpleasantly as possible. I think I managed that much, at least, and since it moves in almost real-time, I didn't indulge in as much wank as I sometimes do.
Steve's Trailer was another write-a-novel-in-a-month attempt. I failed to meet the deadline, but I think it'll be finished eventually; it's almost done. It'll need a lot of revision and tightening up, but I think the plot's okay; a guy leaves a party in a trailer park, drunk, and gets lost. The park's a lot bigger than it had been when he went in, and the trailers are weirder. After wandering around for hours, he starts thinking someone's stalking him, and it starts raining, so he ducks into this old trailer. The place is full of hippie stuff and there's a weird guy with a flute who's in bed with two dead girls. The guy escapes, and the next day he goes looking for the trailer so he can tell the police about it, but the trailer's nowhere to be found. When he tells a friend's wife about it, she says "You can't scare me with that story, I've been hearing that urban legend for years." And he finds out that there's an old legend about this guy, which he starts researching... and finds out that he might be a real serial killer, or maybe just a made-up story that somebody was imitating. The mix of fact and legend and his inability to get enough concrete information about it starts driving him insane.
I've also got several unfinished novels, some of which are already novel-length even though they're nowhere near done. One, Seth's Soul, is kind of like a Southern Baptist version of The Exorcist, in which a girl gets possessed by a weird deaf-mute albino guy who used to walk around the highway all night collecting roadkill. It's not quite as stupid as it sounds, but it's probably close. There's some stuff in it I really like, but overall it's a huge mess.
Then there's Blacklight Autopsy, another zombie thing, which is kind of an amalgamation of three movies: White Zombie, Romper Stomper, and Shane. It's got an evil rich guy running factories full of re-animated corpses, Nazi skinheads, and a homeless guy who's possibly a hero or maybe just a psycho.
Then there's Choir of Worms, about a barrier island that's overrun with flesh-eating worms. That was part of a failed attempt to write a novel in a week, and if I ever finish it I'll probably wrap another novel around it; I have a Pale Fire type plan for it.
And there are other incidental things, but that should be more than enough. Hopefully it'll spur some o' ya into posting the plots of anything you've written, or at least thought about writing. Everybody's got a few decent plot ideas in their heads, so, talk about 'em...

The Wordsworth Editions List; or, how to make free shipping on Amazon, or, an anthology of online links
Welcome to my unpaid infomercial for liter-a-toor.
I do a lot of shopping on Amazon.com, and Amazon has this ingenious li’l trick where they give you free shipping… IF your order totals over $25. This, o’ course, is an incitement for you to spend even more money, because don’tcha feel dumb dropping $5 or so for shipping and not really getting anything out of it? Sometimes, though, what you’re buying is already $20, and it’s hard to find something to push you over that free-shipping hump without making the total $35 or so. You know what I’m talking about. You’ve been there.
Well, the Wordsworth Editions people and I are here to help your sorry ass, budreaux! Provided you’re into reading old ghost stories, that is. And if you’re not, there’s something wrong with you, anyway, ‘cuz old ghost stories RULE! way more than anything you like rules! Get away from me.
I’ve always been into old Victorian horror, and my scrounging started turning up these anthologies, all of which were cheap. I like cheap. A LOT. On average, they’re around $6.99, which is cheap for a better-than-mass-market-paperback style book these days. Some were was low as $4-and-change. So, I started keeping them in my to-be-bought-later list, just in case I needed something to make that free shipping. After reading ‘em a bit I got obsessed and started buying them outright. Which is good, because Amazon seems to have some kind of a buy-three-and-the-fourth-one's-free deal on the Wordsworth Editions, too. Score!
So, in my ongoing effort to be oh-so-friggin’-helpful, I thought I’d make a list of the titles with a bit of info about the stories in each. Since these stories are old and most are public domain (which is why the books are so cheap), I’ve hunted up the text of a few and provided links where you can read them online. I am by no means an advocate of reading books online or in any electronic format. I fully advocate the murder of trees in the name of the printed word, and if that makes me the Sasquatch of carbon footprints, I'm fine with that. But, those e-versions are out there and they don't cost anything, and I believe in free samples... if only because it'll sell more paper copies.
I don’t have all of these titles, but I’m working on it. I like the Wordsworth Editions format so much that I’ve even snagged a few that I’ve got other copies of. And one of my favorite things about them is they'll devote whole volumes to obscure (but still talented) authors who haven't been collected before, so, even if you're an aficianado of this stuff you'll still find plenty of things you haven't read before.
The Loved Dead - H.P. Lovecraft
This is a collection of stories that Lovecraft either revised for other writers, or ghost-wrote for them. As such, they’re not his best work, but they’re still in the style of his other stuff, and they’re not anthologized very often. So, it’s a neat collection of obscure fringe material that you probably haven’t seen before. The title story is one of the most absolutely ye-godz morbid stories that was ever published in the pulp era (aside from trashy shudder-pulp madness such as "The Mole Men Want Your Eyes" - go read that, you owe it to yourself) and was co-written by Lovecraft's friend, C.M. Eddy. It's about a necrophile whose maniacal erotomania for corpses leads him to work in a mortuary... but, he gets fired when his boss finds him sleeping on a slab with his arms around a naked cadaver! So, he has to find new ways to scratch his itch... by becoming a razor-killer. This is daaaaamn no-holds-barred stuff for the 20's, and is rumored to have saved Weird Tales from going under. The magazine was struggling, but when they published this story there was such an outcry from enraged readers that the magazine was boycotted in several cities... which led to greater public interest. It just goes to show ya, if you ever want readership, just court controversy... which is why, for the sake of this blog, I occasionally advocate the shaking of infants. Tell your friends I said to shake the baby! Anyway, you get that story, plus many more, including a tale Lovecraft ghost-wrote for Harry Houdini, "Imprisoned With The Pharaohs", "The Mound," "Within The Walls of Eryx," "The Crawling Chaos," "The Night Ocean," "The Curse of Yig," and a dozen or so more. Wordsworth also has another Lovecraft volume, The Whisperer In Darkness, which includes many of his better-known stories (plus one of my favorites that doesn't often show up in his anthologies, "The Hound," which is one of his most morbid stories, involving a pair of grave-robbing ghouls who push their limits of sickness by building an underground museum out of things they find in graves.
Tales of Unease - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Doyle is best known for his Sherlock Holmes stuff (which I always thought would suck until I actually read a few of 'em - go read "The Speckled Band" and you'll see why I changed my mind about Sherlock) but his horror stories are incredible. This guy is a master at coming up with very creepy situations and then keeping most of the horror in the shadows, showing you just enough to really set your imagination crawling. This includes such stories as "Lot No. 249", which is one of the creepiest mummy stories ever. A college student starts to suspect that they guy in the dorm room below him is experimenting with a horrible mummy he's got, and an ancient Egyptian scroll. He's right. Other stories include "The Captain of the Pole Star," in which a whaling ship isolated in the frozen north is haunted by a ghostly woman who's seen on the ship and the surrounding icebergs, and even though the crew is terrified and they're almost out of food, the captain refuses to leave. Highly creepy stuff. Loads of other great stories are in this one; my only bitch is that they should have included "The Parasite," a really twisted Doyle story in which a repulsive old lady uses hypnotism to turn an unwilling man into her love-slave. That one may have been too long to include here.
Not Exactly Ghosts - Sir Andrew Caldecott
This guy was new to me, and it turns out I really like him. He was a civil service agent who was a big fan of M. R. James and decided to try to write some of his own horror stories, James style. Turns out the guy was quite talented, and came up with some weird 'n' creepy plots. Stories include "A Room In A Rectory" (in which a new rector decides to re-open a room that had been closed for decades, and ends up haunted and obsessed by a disturbing painting of angels vanquishing Lucifer), "Sonata In D Minor" (a recording of a musical piece drives the listener into homicidal rages), "Autoepitaphy" (a strange old desk inspires people to write epitaphs), "The Pump In Thorp's Spinney" (a kid who got a model water pump as a kid becomes maniacally obsessed with them... until he plays with an old one that makes screams come up out of the ground), and "Whiffs of the Sea," wherein a painting of a beach creates a nauseating ocean smell that leads to the discovery of a horrible long-ago death. Well-written stuff.
All Saints' Eve - Ameila B. Edwards
Many of these stories are more on the mystery side than horror, but there are a few ghost stories mixed in, and some disturbing tales of mental illness, such as "Cain," in which an art student becomes so obsessed by a painting that he goes mad.
Collected Ghost Stories - M. R. James
If you haven't read this guy's work, then you know fuck-all about horror stories, m'man, and you need to remedy that, quick-like. Everything this guy wrote is creepy and classic. Includes genre heavyweights like "'Oh Whistle And I'll Come To You My Lad'" (a guy poking around some ancient ruins finds a whistle that he really, really shouldn't blow. The apparition in this thing is one of the creepiest things ever penned), "Casting The Runes" (a devil-worship curse tale that was turned into the movie Night of the Demon), "The Ash Tree" (a haunted tree yields some seriously icky giant spiders), "The Tractate Middoth" (a certain dusty old volume in an old library keeps being read by a guy who has spiders in his eyes; this was adapted into a great episode of the ancient TV series Lights Out), "A View From A Hill" (weird things are seen through some infernal binoculars), and lots more. An essential part of any library.
Oriental Ghost Stories - Lafcadio Hearn
A collection of horror stories set in Japan, which was the basis for the classic Japanese horror film Kwaidan. Here's an online batch of Hearn's work, which is included in this volume. Go read the ultra-short "Mujina" and tell me that ending didn't fuck you up reeeeeaaaal good.
Terror By Night: Classic Ghost & Horror Stories - Ambrose Bierce
I love this guy. I've had people accuse me of being his reincarnation, which I think is simultaneously a great compliment and a subtle way of calling me a blasphemous, misanthropic, sardonic asshole... which is still a compliment in my book. In any case, you get a lot of stories in this one, some of which aren't supernatural tales but horror of war things (such as the disturbing, atmospheric, and gruesome "Chickamauga" - read that and you'll be getting it out of your head, mmmmmm, never), or the freaky-experiment-with-narrative-flow "Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," which became one of the more memorably-artistic Twilight Zone episodes. Other classics herein include "The Damned Thing" (which spawned the evocatively-gory chapter title "A Man Though Naked May Be In Rags"), "The Moonlit Road" (the unusual structure of which influenced Kurosawa's Rashomon), "The Boarded Window" (if you watched PBS during the afternoons in Mississippi as a kid you doubtless got the crap scared out of you by the short film version) and too many others to list.
Tales of Mystery and the Macabre - Elizabeth Gaskell
One of the more obscure authors, but skillful. Includes stories like "The Grey Woman," "The Old Nurse's Story," "Curious, If True," and others.
The Power of Darkness: Tales of Terror - Edith Nesbit
Her most famous horror story is "Man-Size In Marble," in which a guy scoffs at a legend of two knight statues that walk and kill, but she's got lots of other great stories here, too, such as "The Mystery of the Semi-Detached," the title story, and many more.
Night Shivers - Mrs. J. H. Riddell
This one includes the full text of a novel, The Uninhabited House, which is great, as well as a dozen or so stories. So far the only one I've read (besides the novel, a long time ago) is "Nut Bush Farm," which is an atmospheric tale of ghostly sightings in lonely farm fields. If you're into stories set in old crumbling houses, she's a good bet for you.
The Witch of Prague And Other Stories - F. Marion Crawford
The title story is a complete novel, which I haven't read, but among the other stories in this volume are several absolutely essential genre classics, such as "The Screaming Skull," which is highly spooky and disturbing. I read it for the first time as a kid and it bugged the hell out of me. "For The Blood Is The Life" is classic vampire stuff that shows up in damned near every bloodsucker anthology. And "The Upper Berth" is one of the creepiest ghost stories you'll ever read. It's the tale of a haunted ocean liner cabin, which always stays damp, and no efforts can keep the porthole closed... and people who stay there have an annoying tendency to jump off the ship in terror. One of those guys you've gotta read to know this genre.
The Bishop of Hell and Other Stories - Marjorie Bowen
She was a new one to me, but there's good stuff here, and she has good instincts for what's creepy. Stories like "The Fair Hair of Ambrose" (a story about nightmares involving a murdered girl, with a nice shock-effect ending), "The Crown Derby Plate" (the desire to complete a set of plates bought at an estate sale lands a woman in a horrific situation when she pays visits to a lonely, nasty-smelling eccentric at an old house), and "The Bishop of Hell" (a sociopathic hedonist comes to grief and returns from the dead with a warning) make this worth snagging.
Couching At The Door - D. K. Broster
Another happy surprise, this one's got some scary, original stories in here. You'll not soon forget the demonic dust-bunny thing in the title story, which is very well-handled. "Clairvoyance" gets pretty nasty with a Japanese katana, and "The Pestering" is pretty disturbing, too. Snag this.
The Bell In The Fog & Other Stories - Gertrude Atherton
The title story is disturbing in a way that you can't put your finger on; it leaves more of an unsettling impression than working as an outright assault-of-horror type thing. Basically, a mentally-unhealthy man becomes obsessed with a little girl in an old painting, discovers a little girl who looks a lot like her, and forms a really unhealthy pedophile-style obsession with her. Other stories are similarly obtuse-yet-psychologically-eerie. Atherton was heavily influenced by Henry James, but she's a lot more readable. But then, who isn't?
Gothic Short Stories
An anthology of multiple authors, this includes a lot of classic darkness such as the absolutely-essential "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman (I read this thing at least twice a year and it never loses its impact, it's a masterpiece), "The Room In The Tower" by E. F. Benson (one of the most nightmarishly surreal horror stories ever, with a last line that's a real kick in the teeth. Reading this thing in an anthology years ago got me obsessed with E. F. Benson, and I haven't gotten off that train yet. His story "Caterpillars" is notorious as one of the sickest stories of the era; I remember Stephen King and Peter Straub almost derailing an interview when they got off on how badly that one bothered them). There are also some familiar stories like LeFanu's "Schalken The Painter" or Poe's morbid grave-robbing teeth-fetish classic "Bernice", or Stevenson's "The Body Snatcher", but there are a few more-obscure tales in here, too. One, "The Lame Priest" by S. Carleton, I'd never seen before. It's an okay werewolf story, no great shakes but worth the reading time.
A Night on the Moor & Other Tales of Dread - R. Murray Gilchrist
Another collection of an obscure author. Haven't read into this one much, but it looks very poetically-written.
Aylmer Vance: Ghost-Seer - Alice & Claude Askew
I'm not usually into recurring ghost-hunter characters (Wordsworth also puts out a volume of William Hope Hodgson's "Carnaki The Ghost-Finder") but I read the first story in this one - "The Invader" - and it wasn't bad at all.
Uncanny Stories - May Sinclair
Haven't read far into this one yet, but it looks promising.
The Temple of Death - A. C. and R. H. Benson
E. F. Benson's brothers also gave ghost-story writing a shot, and turned out some interesting work. Haven't read far in yet, but "The Temple of Death" was an atmospherically-written, allegorical story that was fairly creepy. I'll be digging into this one further.
The Crimson Blind & Other Stories - H. D. Everett
Yet another talented unknown saved from obscurity. I've only read a couple but they show promise.
The Haunted Hotel & Other Stories - Wilkie Collins
Better known for his novels such as The Woman in White and The Moonstone, Collins also turned out some classic horror. Haven't had time to start this one yet.
An anthology of mummy stories by different authors, this includes the aforementioned "Lot No. 249" and a few others, including the full text of Bram Stoker's novel The Jewel Of Seven Stars.
The Shadow on the Blind and Other Stories - Louisa Baldwin & Lettice Galbraith
Neither woman had enough output for her own collection, so they combined the two. Haven't read into it much, but the first couple of stories were well-written and not bad, if a bit mundane (such as an old murder being reinacted in shadows on the windowshade of a haunted room).
The Black Veil & Other Tales of Supernatural Sleuths
Anthology of various authors, combining horror and detection. Has some classics like "The Gateway of the Monster" by William Hope Hodgson and "The Red Hand" by Arthur Machen, as well as more obscure stories.
Strange Tales - Rudyard Kipling
Kipling turned out a lot of genre classics, and you'll find most of 'em here.
The Haunter of the Ring & Other Tales - Robert E. Howard
The prolific creator of Conan the Barbarian also wrote a ton of horror fiction, and this is a pretty good collection, even including some stories that a supposedly "complete" anthology neglected to reprint. The big standout here is "Pigeons From Hell," which is a scary-ass horror classic. Skull-Face, which is really a novel, is also included, along with many other great ones. Wordsworth also has another Howard volume, The Right Hand Of Doom, which collects his horror-tinged action stories of Solomon Cane, a swashbuckling Puritan.
Children Of The Night: Classic Vampire Stories
Another multi-author anthology, lots of these will be familiar to horror fans, but you can never have enough copies of Le Fanu's "Carmilla" or Maupassant's "The Horla," can ya?
Ghost Stories of Henry James - Henry James
I find this guy's prose damned near unreadable, but it's undeniable that he had an impact on the genre. All his classic creepier stuff is included, such as the profoundly-overbloated short-story-stretched-to-novel-length "The Turn of the Screw" (I always wanted to be fucking clever and write a sequel to that called The Return of The Screw, just to piss off the English majors. Full disclosure: I am an English major, but I still think a lot of us are way-far-up-our-own-ass and could use some taunting). If you can handle this guy's tiresome prose style, then you'll be well-served by this collection. I usually only read him when I'm feeling guilty for having too much fun and need to punish myself. Henry James is the literary equivalent of a hairshirt.
The Casebook of Carnacki The Ghost-Finder - William Hope Hodgson
Good collection of creepy investigative horror. You can find 'em online here.
Dracula's Guest - Bram Stoker
The title story is an excised chapter from Dracula, and there are several other great stories here, such as the seriously creepy "The Judge's House" (that story's one of the reasons I hate rats so much) and the oh-my-god-how-fucking-sick "The Dualitists", as well as other worthy stories.
Wordsworth puts out a lot of Joseph Sheridan LeFanu, who's another guy you've gotta read if you want to know your way around horror fiction. They put out his novels The House By The Churchyard and Uncle Silas, as well as some collections of short stories, such as Madam Crowl's Ghost and In A Glass Darkly.
There are also a few ancient horror novels that Wordworth Editions put out cheaply such as Sweeny Todd or The String Of Pearls (which is a "penny dreadful" that's a lot nastier than the musical) and The Beetle by Richard Marsh, which is supposed to be very weird. Several Dennis Wheatly Satanic novels are also available. There are also others that are mystery stories or Sherlock Holmes pastiches that you can check out if you're of a mind. And, there are hopefully more to come, 'cuz I'll still be needin' to make my free shipping on Amazon.
God, I gotta quit writing these long posts. Four hours work and who knows how many people are even readin' this shit...

Rockin' out the delivery route... (iPodatry #3)
Lots of cool songs shuffled through my iPod while I was on the road the other day... here's the Recently Played list.
Some of the highlights of this list:
Less than One - The Grassy Knoll
From the self-titled release (early 1990s???), this is interesting instrumental trip-hop; I usually lump this in with Amon Tobin's stuff - jazz-inflected electronica that swings.
Pieces of a Man - Gil Scott-Heron
A fuckin' poet... if you're not familiar with his work, it is officially time for you to get off of your ass! From the album of the same name.
747 - Blind Idiot God
Blind Idiot God is a groundbreaking instrumental three-piece careening from aggressive post-hardcore blasts to trippy, delay-laden dub... This is from Cyclotron. If you like Dysrhythmia, check em out!
You Will Be Reincarnated as an Imperial Attack Spaceturtle - Behold... the Arctopus!
...speaking of Dysrhythmia, this related band is even crazier!!! I wanna be reincarnated as their bass player! Spastic math-flavored instru-metal!
Standard Audio Frontend - Oval
From Dok... glitch-a-licious! Clever glitchwerk from the masters. Crazy electronica reminiscent of a CD player's deathsong.

a tiresome series of pithy observations
“You got somethin’ to say? Nobody wants to hear it!” - Flag of Democracy
I’ve got nothin’ to say in particular, and don’t feel like just typing up movie reviews, but I don’t wanna get lax on my post-a-week bit this early in the game. So I figured I’d just pull a random bunch of observations and comments out of one of the Se7en-psycho-like notebooks I have full of this garbage, and let the world decide if they’re worth contemplating. Considering that we have entire colleges devoted to theology, I figure this shit’s worth a chance, y’know?
- “Warming” and “harming” differ by only one letter, but they don’t rhyme. “Warming” and “storming” do rhyme, though, even though their letters aren’t nearly as similar. Even odder, “wa” and “ha” do rhyme, but “wa” and “sto” sound nothing alike. Contemplate that on your road to madness.
- If I ever have to get part of one of my arms amputated, I’m gonna dress up as Mickey Mouse, stick a glove over the end of the stump, and trick-or-treat as a watch. That way, I think everybody’ll at least say “There’s that clever bastard” when they see me, which is cooler than just “there’s that bastard who’s missing part of an arm.”
- Speaking of watches, you don’t tell time, you assign it. So, stop saying that.
- I think if you ever kill a bunch of people, you should arrange the bodies into the letters of profanities, just to make the cop who draws the chalk outlines write bad words. Yeah, I’m a murderer, but you write vulgar graffiti at the scenes of tragedies! Who’s more crass?
- What happens if you have more than one parakeet? Is it just a keet then? And how come when one trooper jumps out of a plane, he becomes a paratrooper? What if a parakeet jumped out of a plane? Would it be a paraparakeet? And what if two parakeets jump out of a plane? We’re gonna be stuttering if we even try to discuss that one. Let’s just pray the situation doesn’t come up.
- “Humpty Dumpty”… it’d be interesting to know the story behind that name. Sounds like what happens if you fuck the shit out of somebody. And is fucking the shit out of somebody really desirable? Talk about arguing about who has to sleep on the wet spot, jeez. “Did you come?” “Nope, but it was almost as good!”
- Speaking of names, I understand the origin of most last names. “Smiths” were iron workers or what-not, “Browns” probably had brown hair or something. What I can’t come up with is a presentable explanation for Lipshitz and Upjohn.
- Why aren’t tee-shirts appropriate wear for tea parties?
- How come you can talk about “wiener dogs” all day and people think it’s cute, but if you mention dog wieners you’re sick and inappropriate? And pussy cats, oh, we can talk about those with grandma, but mention cat pussy just once and you’ve ruined Thanksgiving. Same words, but the order damns us? Doesn’t seem fair.
- If you have a rare dime that’s worth a hundred bucks, then that’s not really a dime anymore, is it? After all, a dime is a ten-cent coin. So, what the hell is it, then? I don’t like things that screw with the dictionary definitions… that opens the door to chaos.
- That “Focus On The Family” organization is getting pretty crazy and radicalized, and they probably bear watching, but coming up with a Focus On Focus On The Family group might get kind of redundant. Especially if that group also got radicalized and needed a subsequent watch-group.
- If your last name was either “Conjoined” or “Siamese” and you had twins, that could lead to some confusion. Especially if they were conjoined twins. It’d be nice if they’d have conjoined triplets every once in a while, just to up the sales of newspapers.
- What if the popular beans in Lima, Peru, were actually kidney beans? If you ordered lima beans there, it could lead to some confusion. Especially if your last name was “Conjoined.” What would you feed the twins?
- I wonder what happens to conjoined babies in the wild. Surely there are two-headed deer and possums and such being born, and some are surviving. You do have some slim hope of shooting a 20-20 point buck. If you’re hunting for trophy deer, should you be using .00 buck? Seems like that’d defeat the purpose. They need to invent something like 24-point buckshot. And what about doe season… how come you can still kill doe with buckshot? Worst specialized product ever. I’d like to kill somebody with a shotgun, but I’m very precise about the equipment I use, and I don’t know anybody named Buck. I need some Steve shot, damnit. Wouldn’t it be ironic if Buck Owens were killed by a shotgun… wielded by an assassin who’d been promised a dollar to do it?
- I know a guy who’s such a gun nut that if you tell him you’re going to hang out and shoot the shit, he’ll start recommending what kind of load to use for that.
- Chicken pot pie isn’t a good “ala mode” kind of pie. And what the hell is chicken pot, anyway? Is it like monkey grass? I don’t think you should get chickens high… they act stupid enough as it is. And if you smoke tumbleweed, does the room spin? How do those fuckers grow, anyway? What’s the farm look like?
- If you were in a band called The Culprits and somebody stole your equipment, that could result in one really weird police report. So it’s probably best not to name your band that, or The Thieves, The Perpetrators, The Suspects, or The Guys Who Stole The Band Equipment.
- How the hell are pacifists supposed to fight for what they believe in?
- If the world gets much weirder, people are going to start wondering what the big deal is about Dr. Seuss.
- If you were small enough you could probably use a lunchbox as a suitcase. That’d be kinda cool, having, like, Evel Knieval luggage.
- How come nobody ever goes in the rest room just to take a breather? If you ever do build a room just to rest in, you’re screwed, because people will go pee in there. “Who defecated on the couch? Was it the twins?”
- Passionately wrong is so weird.
- “Here comes the guy who carries around a sack full of his own poop!” Oddly, nobody ever sounds happy when they say that.
- If somebody gives you the option to have sex with anyone, living or dead, I think you should pick someone living, and tell them they’re sick for even asking such a question.
- You really have to have contempt for something to name them “pooka shells.”
- I’d buy a harmonica, but I don’t know any girls named Monica… at least, none I’d like to harm. Monicas, apparently, have nervous systems that are very susceptible to corny wheezy noises.
- I think as a joke we should sometimes drop bombs loaded with Superballs instead of shrapnel, so they can ricochet all over the place and the enemy can get a good laugh before the real stuff comes down.
- Where does the Easter Bunny get all the money? Candy ain’t cheap. If he makes it himself, then he should be sued for trademark infringement, ‘cuz I’ve gotten Nestles before.
- Who in the hell is the marketing genius who thought “Hopalong” would be a good name for a cowboy hero? What’s next, “Arizona Skippy”? “Frolicabout Jones”?
- Do people who work in factories making cheese the right size or the people in candy factories who pack the fudge in boxes ever find it awkward telling people what they do for a living?
- Since it’s rolled in wet flour, fried chicken is essentially paper mache chicken. That’s handy to know if you want to wallpaper your colon.
- Since these products are manufactured and marketed, there must be dildo factories and dildo salesmen. Can you picture the meetings with guys in suits, holding up charts and graphs, nobody giggling? “We’re falling off in the northeast!” “I have a marketing slogan for our new model J457A - 'Go Fuck Yourself!'” Same deal with whoopee cushions. For someone these things are serious business.
- Speaking of whoopee cushions, what are they really used for, if coitus is referred to as “making whoopee”? Nothing kills romance like making that noise. And why is sex referred to as “hanky panky”? I think that should be the term for masturbation, because that’s when you need a hanky.
- I hate things that are marketed as “collectable.” I’ve seen that used for a cut-out NASCAR car on the back of a Chicken In A Biskit box. ANYTHING is “collectable” if you’re of warped enough mind. Just ask Ed Gein.
- The bands that wrote all that music and the people who designed those video games never went on killing sprees, so everybody should retire that particular argument.
- “Slow and steady wins the race.” Maybe so, but you’ve still got to be the fastest slow, steady person.
- Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. And tomorrow is the yesterday you’ll think about two days from now.
- Why do anti-abortion activists show gory photos? Why would the fact that a procedure’s gross-looking stop somebody? Do they use that same logic with appendectomies? “Don’t get your tonsils out, it’s gruesome!”
- Why put “In God We Trust” on money, when money is maybe the biggest proof that we don’t trust God and all his “birds of the air” stuff? It’s like writing “Thou Shalt Not Kill” on your box of Teflon bullets.
- Your funnybone is in your elbow, your sadness bone is in your pelvis.
- Since green tea is full of antioxidants, can I use it to rust-proof my swingset?
- Any percentage of infinity is still infinity. So what’s the use of a clock?
- Whoever said “breaking up is hard to do” obviously never had a cell phone. By the way, the cell-phone cancer clusters are starting to show up now. Sleep tight!
- You can’t do anything tomorrow. Tomorrow is a concept only. When you actually do the thing, you’ll be doing it now. Tomorrow is unreachable. “Tomorrow I will go to the horizon,” you might as well say.
- Trying saying “We were out of syrup, so I used dishwashing liquid” when serving waffles at breakfast sometime. Somebody might think it’s funny, and when they laugh, it makes it easier to weed out the weirdoes.
Yeah, I’m probably stupid, but if you think so and you’ve read this far, you’ve been tricked out of your time by an idiot, then, Bonzo. Ha!

My dog treed my new neighbor!
My dog Chester, a mutt with some clear Rhodesian Ridgeback ancestry, treed our new neighbor, this here rather large raccoon, early this morning. Mister Raccoon is a big ol' healthy specimen of his species, well-fed from all of the composting + gardening that goes on in the neighborhood (and certainly enjoying all of the trashbins, too), and he scooted up this tree with amazing haste for such a laid-back little fella...
Chester's inside the house now, so that Mr. Raccoon can go on about his day. Just held him up long enough to snap these pics.
Sorry this ain't as violent as Zwolf's rat-war post... but this critter ain't infringing on our space, so live + let live... but in the same ideaspace, go check out the really interesting Battle of Mice, whose experi-metal sounds will expand your mind (you'll need to adjust yr skull on yr own, though, so get a crowbar + keep it handy). (I hate these comparisons, but...) they kinda remind me of Bjork fronting Sleep.

Mr. Stupid's Giantly Obnoxious Haiku Hoedown (excessively-self-indulgent edition!)
If you liked my other collection of terrible haiku on the website, then hooray, yay, there's more teh stupid! If you hated the other haiku, then this is a whole buncha stuff you'll have to ignore, then, iddnit?
Some of this is funny, some of it is profane, some of it is dark 'n' disturbing (but that stuff's hilarious to me), and almost all of it is juvenile and very-much-stupid, but, I figure, it's like an Airplane movie: even if 90% of the content is stupid, there's so much of it being thrown at you that even if only 10% works, it still counts as a score. Volume, volume, volume! Some of it's been floating around a while, but some of it is unseen by man and still has that new haiku smell. Enjoy, or disregard, whichever's funnest.

Shoot Them Sartana... They're All Bastards!
I had a few ideas for a blog post for this week, but I got lazy. I thought about doing something about strange and obscure TV shows nobody watches anymore (“Winky Dink and You,” “The Magic Clown,” the 1958 “Night Court,” etc.) but that’d take work and it’s the weekend, so why work? Maybe later.
Then I thought about a post about ideas for TV shows, or a post about TV shows that I just made up that don’t actually exist (such as the game show Let’s Fight With Fists, where your host David Jansen pits housewives against each other in street combat for new Whirlpool appliances), but then I realized that my sense of humor tends to be very weird, vulgar, and scatological, and most people don’t think that stuff is as funny as I do… so, I nixed that.
Anyway, I don’t have time to come up with anything brilliant now that I’m completely addicted to watching cutiemish on YouTube. How can ya not love a British Chinese girl who’s a knockout and unashamedly silly? She's freakin' hilarious, and has a Harvey-Pekar-like gift for making even the most mundane material incredibly funny (hang around 'til the very last second of that one for a punchline that casts a new light on the rest of it - it's genius. To me, anyway). Somebody needs to give this girl her own show.
So, out of a desire to put something up, I remembered a list of Spaghetti Western titles I compiled once and thought that might have some amusement value. One of my favorite things about Spaghetti Westerns are the titles, because the Italians just didn’t give a damn about established parameters, they’d use titles that ignored grammar, and had no concerns for marquee space; some of these titles were almost a paragraph. Plus, they’re almost like little badass poems. Many are hilarious and worth watching just so you can tell your friends “This weekend I watched Trinity and Sartana, Those Dirty Sons of Bitches."
If you’re not familiar with Spaghetti Westerns (i.e. Westerns made in Italy back in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s, such as the Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone movies you should be well-acquainted with) there are a few things that will quickly become evident as you read the list: they like to play off of the Leone titles, so you’ll see lots of variations on Fistful of Dollars and For A Few Dollars More. Also, the same character names (Django, Trinity, Sartana) tend to show up over and over again. Most of these aren’t sequels; the filmmakers had no qualms about sticking an established character’s name in the title to make you think it was, though, no matter how unrelated the actual film is. Like, Django was a big hit, so damn near half the movies that came afterward got “Django” in the title somewhere. Everybody liked They Call Me Trinity and Trinity is Still My Name, so “Trinity” had to be in loads of titles afterward. It’s shameless.
So, here’s a list (you say long, I say extensive-yet-far-from-complete) of actual titles and retitles (I’ve even seen some of these), and in the comment section you’re encouraged to be funny ’n’ clever and invent some of your own. Once you start thinking in “Spaghetti Western Title” it gets as addictive as haiku or coming up with band names. (note: a few of these aren’t westerns, but they’re other Italian movies with titles so weird or funny I had to throw ‘em in there).

my own personal backyard Stalingrad
This'll be a post about nothin', but I'll try to make it entertaining.
I got interested in the battle of Stalingrad due to a highly recommended book I read. This was about as heinous as warfare gets, resulting in massive damage and a death toll of over 1.5 million... but, it stopped the Nazis from getting to the Soviet oil fields and, basically, won the war, or at least shortened it greatly. The Germans called the fighting there "rattenkrieg," or "rat warfare," because it involved a lot of scurrying around in the rubble, sniping at each other.
I've just had the weekend from hell, much of which centers around... rattenkrieg. Nowhere near Stalingrad levels, or importance to the world at large, but filled with manageable amounts of bloodshed and terror just the same.
See, there's an air conditioner unit behind my house, and it's got a bird feeder over it. The birds have been making nasty with their seeds, throwing them all over the ground, and that's attracted rats. They've been housing under the air conditioner unit, and this weekend I also noticed a horde of mice, running in and out of the upper story of the same unit. It was an all-singing, all-dancing cavalcade of shitting-pissing-fucking-gnawing-bubonic-bearing vermin.
And I'm way-way-chickenshit when it comes to rodents. Oh, I am a big ol' pussy. I'm almost as bad as the women in the Warner Brothers cartoons, jumping on chairs and screaming. It's not quite a phobia, but it's damn close. I'm not even crazy about the too-tame-for-my-taste squirrels we have locally. They don't fool me, they're just rats with a little more cute poured on 'em. Give them a chance, though, and they'll go for your eyes to gnaw their way to your delicious brain! You can tell in the way they look at you. With fear comes hatred, and I want all these critters dead.
So, the situation's been bugging me a little.
I couldn't just put out poison, because this air conditioner unit happens to be inside a dog pen, and I didn't want the dogs to get poisoned, either by eating the bait or by munching down on a poison-packed rat. Frankly, the dogs should be ashamed of themselves for allowing such encroachment on in their territory. My dogs have a history of being lovable but not very fierce; somebody tried to break into our house once and while I ran around the yard with a gun yelling scary stuff they didn't even bark, just watched, wagging their tails. Very helpful creatures. Too bad my sadistic cat, who thinks of nothing but killing all day long and is quite good at it, isn't allowed outside. He'd be servin' some warrants.
Anyway, I wasn't sure what to do about this vermin situation, although I knew I couldn't let it go on because the rodents would just breed and it'd get worse. For several weeks I've been limited to trying to pick the rats off with a pellet gun. I sent a few to Jesus, but it was just harassing, interdictory fire for the most part, nothing that was really going to fix the situation. There were always more showing up, doing their little "we're still here, dipshit!" dances and giving me the finger.
Well, this weekend was apparently a rodent mardi gras. Every time I looked out (and as neurotically obsessive as I am about these bastards, that was about every ten minutes) I'd see at least one rat or mouse, and sometimes three or four. The good thing about this heightened activity was that I also noticed where they were coming from: the rats had a hole to the crawlspace under the house where some ductwork went in, and the mice had a crack around the air conditioner unit. They weren't just living under the unit, after all... that was just a handy duck-in place.
This finally gave me a workable plan.
First, just to thin the herd, I set up a mousetrap on the air conditioner unit. That thing ended up looking like Robespierre's favorite guillotine. The mousetraps I bought are highly effective, but if they catch the mouse across the head there's gonna be blood everywhere. I'm talking last-reel-of-a-Fulci-movie gory, dripping, avulsed matter carnage. So that wasn't terribly fun to deal with, but it made the mice start laying low a little.
Then, for effect, I picked out a nice rat about the size of a small rabbit and hit him with the pellet gun. Zapruder'ed his head spectacularly all over his friends, which got them to stay in their holes for a while. While they were hiding, I quickly jammed a bunch of steel wool in every hole I could find, then squirted in foam sealant. (The steel wool keeps them from chewing their way back through; it stabs their little mouths if they try). I did a pretty sloppy job, and my backyard looks like the aftermath of a pie-fight, but I think they're damn well locked out of the dogpen.
Which means it's now safe to apply chemical warfare. So, rat poison has gone all up under the house. Smorgasbord, fellas! Have yourselves a Jonestown hoe-down, on me.
I'm hoping they'll go somewhere else to die (the poison's supposed to make them seek water), but as bad as those things may stink when they die, I'll gonna welcome it. I love the smell of dead rats in the morning... it smells like... victory.
Then everything will be fine, until the komodo dragons show up.

The Alex Adams award was established in 2007 in memory of its namesake, Jay Alexander Adams. It provides financial support to undergraduates who elect to spend two months of their summer producing an original work of art. Halcyon Person ’10 was one of the two recipients chosen last spring. What follows are excerpts from her project, for which she spent the summer in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, conducting interviews with members of her father’s and grandfather’s generation who had worked at the since closed Jones & Laughlin Steel Mill.

1. Short financing
Crowd-funding Stop/Eject
January 12, 2014 July 15, 2017 neilosemancrowd funding, financing, video
This featurette relates the ups and downs of the two crowd-funding campaigns run for my short fantasy-drama Stop/Eject. Producer Sophie Black and I discuss the various methods we used to solicit donations, from the mundane (Facebook posts) to the surreal (threatening the lives of innocent pets). We also talk about the kinds of people who contributed, the rewards we offered, and the emotional rollercoaster of an all-or-nothing campaign.
If you want to know more, read my blog entries evaluating the first and second campaigns.
Top Ten Crowd-funding Tips
April 1, 2013 July 15, 2017 neilosemancrowd funding, evaluation, financing, preproduction, tips
This little piggy went to Kickstarter…
To finish my look back at the decisions, successes and failures of the Stop/Eject crowd-funding campaigns, here are my ten top tips based on the sum of our experiences on this project:
You need “elements” – aspects of the project which have an existing audience base, such as a name actor or a director with a strong social media following. Sometimes people will donate because the film is being shot in their home town, or maybe it’s about a subject they have an interest in. Whatever it is, figure out where that existing audience base is and what they want, and create your rewards and promotions accordingly.
Work out in advance how much your rewards will cost to produce, and reject any that aren’t cost or time efficient. I suggest they should consume no more than ten percent of your budget.
Make your pitch video professional – tightly edited, well lit, well shot and with broadcast quality sound. No-one will sponsor a filmmaker who can only be bothered posting a five minute ramble shot on a webcam. Your “elements” should appear in the video.
Whether building your own crowd-funding platform or using an existing one, make sure it’s extremely quick and easy to donate, with a minimal number of clicks.
A longer campaign doesn’t necessarily mean more money raised, but it does mean more work for you promoting it.
If you take a day off from promoting your campaign, people will take a day off from donating. You cannot sit back and expect the money to roll in. It doesn’t work that way.
Keep reminding people about your campaign, but do it indirectly by publishing new content like blogs, behind-the-scenes videos or storyboards. Most sponsors will have to see your campaign several times before deciding to donate.
The internet isn’t the only way to promote your campaign. Go to events in the real world and plug it. Take a donations bucket or hand out cards or flyers with the campaign address on.
Make people feel involved in your project, both during and after crowd-funding. Run competitions, invite feedback on things like poster designs, issue updates and answer questions.
The endorsement of a well-recognised person or entity can give your campaign a massive boost. BBC Midlands Today putting a Stop/Eject report on their Facebook page worked for us, but the holy grail is getting a celebrity to retweet your campaign link.

The single biggest tool we had to promote our second fundraising campaign for Stop/Eject was the trailer. This was followed by a crowd-funding pitch in the same video file, so as soon as people had been wowed by the trailer, they found out how to get involved and support it, wherever that trailer was screened or embedded. There are lots of tips on editing trailers in a blog post I wrote last year.
You can’t just post on Facebook every day of your crowd-funding campaign (particularly if it runs for eight months as ours did) asking for money. You have to find other ways to remind people of the project’s existence without directly holding out your begging cap.
One way to do this is through uploading content like blogs and behind-the-scenes videos. As previously discussed, our system of public rewards hampered this to some extent, but we still blogged regularly about the project’s progress, also updating people via the Facebook page, Twitter and emails to the sponsors. Any time we did any interesting work on the film we took photos or video and shared them with the community we were building.
Speaking of community, you have to nurture it by allowing them to engage with the project. For example, we ran a poster design competition and later invited the public to submit interview questions to be posed to the cast.
Whenever we needed additional crew, those shout-outs served not only as a form of crowd-sourcing but also as promotion of the crowd-funding.
You shoudn’t neglect “real world” promotional opportunities. I gave a couple of talks about Stop/Eject during the campaign, each time encouraging audiences to donate. It’s best to provide a bucket for cash by the exit, because if you tell people to go home and donate online, the vast majority of them will forget.
Georgie helped a lot, making her fanbase aware of the campaign, and we tried to seek out Worst Witch sites and communities to post on too. In fact all of the cast and crew helped to spread the word.
We discovered it was the 50th anniversary of the invention of cassette tapes halfway through our campaign, but too late to do much about it except get interviewed on BBC Radio Hereford & Worcester. Sophie and I also managed to get some local newspaper coverage, but our biggest coup was Sophie’s appearance on BBC East Midlands Today. That didn’t lead directly to any donations, but a Stop/Eject article on a website about Matlock, one of the towns we shot in, did lead to a few.

The final part of my evaluation will take the form of ten top tips for crowd-funding, based on our experiences with Stop/Eject. Watch this space.
Crowd-funding Evaluation Part 6: Elements and Sponsors
March 27, 2013 July 15, 2017 neilosemancrowd funding, evaluation, financing, preproduction10 Comments
(Links to previous parts of the evaluation: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5.)
One of the key lessons learnt from Stop/Eject‘s first crowd-funding campaign is that people don’t tend to donate unless they have a pre-existing connection to some element of the project, e.g. they know the filmmaker, it’s being shot in their home town, it has an actor in it they like, or it’s about a subject they’re interested in. That first campaign was very much dependent on people knowing me and wanting to support me, as we had no other “elements” at that stage.
Georgina Sherrington as Kate in Stop/Eject
When, a week prior to shooting Stop/Eject, we cast Georgina Sherrington in the lead role, the last thing on our minds was crowd-funding. But her cult status as the former child star of ITV’s The Worst Witch provided a new “element” when we came to launch our second campaign.
Popularity of the individual rewards
We found that sponsors of the second campaign generally fell into two camps: Georgina Sherrington fans, and sponsors putting in larger amounts who were either doing so purely philanthropically or who wanted custom rewards to help them with their own filmmaking endeavours. Other than these custom requests, the rewards aimed at filmmakers were unsuccessful (most of them got zero sales, so aren’t included on the above graphs), proving beyond a doubt that I was not the major “element” in this second campaign.
The “Memoirs of the Worst Witch” reward was added after our campaign had already been running for a few months and the total had been stuck for a while around the halfway point. It was a download of a 20 minute interview with Georgina about her time on The Worst Witch, and it turned out to be one of the most popular rewards in terms of units sold.
A headband by Sophie Black, one of the more unusual Stop/Eject-themed gifts offered in the Collections
In an effort to combat the disadvantages of a campaign without a deadline (see part 5), we introduced “Collections” – groups of four new rewards that were only available in limited numbers and for a limited time. These helped keep awareness of the campaign up, but didn’t bring much money in.
In general, several of the rewards required a ridiculous amount of time (and in some cases money) to produce in relation to the amount of sponsorship they brought in, most notably the glossy photo books. If I had to run this campaign all over again, I’d offer a smaller number of rewards, and most of them at the lower price breaks (£10-£50), with just a couple of suggestions for custom rewards at maybe £100 and £200.
Next time I’ll talk about how we promoted the campaign and engaged with the audience, before summing up my overall thoughts and feelings on crowd-funding Stop/Eject in the eighth and final part.
Crowd-funding Evaluation Part 5: Setting up the Second Campaign
March 24, 2013 July 15, 2017 neilosemancrowd funding, financing, preproduction1 Comment
Our custom-built website
In January of last year, following the successful completion of Stop/Eject‘s preproduction crowd-funding campaign, I posted a series of four blogs evaluating the campaign. I’m now going to extend this to the postproduction campaign, once again looking at the choices we made, good and bad, and the lessons we learnt.
We knew we didn’t want to use crowdfunder.co.uk again, because it required an off-putting number of clicks for people to donate – so one of the first discussions we had was about what platform to use instead. We quickly ruled out the “all or nothing” sites. Now that the film was in the can, the important thing was to get at least some money to finish it with; the possibility of getting none at all was too risky.
My intial thought was to use Sponsume, but producer Sophie Black and my wife Katie both believed we needed to try something completely different. In the end we decided to run a campaign with no deadline, since it didn’t matter how long it took to finish the film.
The individual rewards initially offered in the second campaign
We also came up with the idea of “public rewards”, so that as well as individuals receiving (for example) DVDs or premiere tickets when they donated, additional rewards would be published online for every £100 the total went up. These mostly took the form of video podcasts documenting the shoot, though a few were special blog entries breaking down the production design, lighting or budget.
As for the individual rewards, I decided to offer two options at most of the price breaks: one related to Stop/Eject, and one aimed at other filmmakers – since they had made up a significant proportion of the sponsors in the first campaign. The former type included the obvious things like DVD or Blu-ray copies of the film, invites to the premiere and glossy photo books. The latter type included a budget breakdown of my last feature film, script feedback or storyboards for your project, homemade sandbags for weighing down lighting stands, and a Skype chat with yours truly.
The public rewards and the lack of a time limit meant that no existing crowd-funding platform was suitable, so I had to knock up our own website – www.stopejectmovie.com – with a bit of simple Flash and PHP scripting and some Paypal buttons. One advantage of doing this is that only Paypal are taking a cut of the money, but a disadvantage is that a visitor to the site has less reason to trust that everything is above board.
We launched the campaign in late May of last year, with a target of £1,500. This was simply the amount we needed; it wasn’t compromised by any considerations of how much we thought we could raise.
Graph of the cumulative total rising over time
I’m not convinced that public rewards were a good idea. When the total got stuck for a long time we were unable to use what could have been our best tool to encourage donations – releasing a podcast – because we had set up this system of releasing them only when people did donate. On the other hand, there was a knock-on effect whereby one donation would trigger the release of a public reward which would in turn trigger further donations.
I’m not sure a campaign without a deadline is something I can recommend either. In fact, I’ve since read that there’s statistical evidence showing that longer crowd-funding campaigns do not raise more money than short ones. Without the urgency of a looming deadline, many potential sponsors will say to themselves, “I’ll get around to that later,” and never do. There is also the risk that people will get fed up of being tapped for cash repeatedly over a long period.
In the next instalment I’ll look at who donated and why.
Stop/Eject Illustrated Script Books
February 15, 2013 August 2, 2016 neilosemancrowd funding, publicity1 Comment
With Stop/Eject now fully financed, we’re working to create the rewards for the many sponsors who contributed to the project. Most of these rewards – invites to the premiere, DVD copies and so on – can only be completed when Stop/Eject itself is finished, but not all of them.
Sponsors who picked the Unit Publicist reward will receive, among other things, a very nice hardback book of the script with production notes and a full credits list, all lavishly illustrated with photographs from the shoot. This book has been beautifully designed by Worcester-based Andy Roberts of Speakersfive – check out his website at www.speakersfive.co.uk
When your crowd-funding campaign is over, it’s important to show your appreciation to your sponsors by making sure the rewards you create for them are really high quality. And if you ever need to raise money for another project, people will know that they can contribute with confidence that they’ll get something special in return. Here are some sample pages from the book:
Production notes introduce the book
Some of the photos haven’t been seen anywhere else before.

Stop/Eject Fully Funded
January 31, 2013 August 2, 2016 neilosemancrowd funding, financing1 Comment
Hooray! We’ve smashed through our crowd-funding target for post-production of Stop/Eject!
Huge thanks to everyone who’s contributed since we launched our first campaign back in November 2011. Across the two campaigns you’ve given us almost £4,200. Without it, Stop/Eject could never have been made.
As well as reaching our grand total we’ve passed two public reward targets. The first one, the sound design podcast, you’ll have to wait a little while for, as work on this aspect of post-production has yet to begin. The second one is the People’s Choice Reward, so leave us a comment on the Stop/Eject Facebook page with your suggestion of what we can create and upload as a thank you for all your donations.
If you’ve been meaning to donate but haven’t got around to it yet, we’re keeping the rewards open for one more week. That means you’ve got until midnight on February 7th to secure yourself an invite to the premiere, a copy of the DVD or Bluray, an illustrated script book or any of the other lovely goodies. After this date these gifts will never be available again. (We hope the film will be available to buy in some form or another after its festival run, but that’s a couple of years away at least.)
The other big Stop/Eject news this week is that we’ve locked the edit, which is a watershed moment in the post-production of any film. Stay tuned for more info on that soon.

Stop/Eject Hat Auction
November 29, 2012 April 10, 2017 neiloseman20 Comments
Georgina Sherrington as Kate in Stop/Eject, wearing a hat that is now up for auction.
We’re auctioning off the hat worn by Georgina Sherrington in a scene in Stop/Eject, with all proceeds going towards finishing this short fantasy-drama. To bid, comment on the photo on our Facebook page (click here), stating the amount in UK pounds.* The auction ends at 7pm GMT on Thursday December 6th.
The hat appears in a winter scene in Stop/Eject, as Kate (played by Georgina Sherrington of The Worst Witch fame) enters the mysterious charity shop on a cold December day to once again use the time-travelling tape recorder. Behind-the-scenes footage of Georgie wearing the hat can be seen in this podcast from day two of the shoot:
A continuity photo from the shoot by costume designer Katie Lake
“I had discussed colours with Neil,” explains Katie Lake, Stop/Eject’s costume designer, “and we liked the idea of yellow and blue for Kate – more yellow when she was happy, and more blue when she was sad. For the winter scene, as it was set in the darkest days of Kate’s emotional journey, I knew I needed to dress her in dark or drab colors. I had chosen a navy dress, but wanted to avoid making her look like she was dressed for a funeral, so when I found an off-white coat, I knew a light or medium grey hat would be perfect. The lighter colours wash out pale skin, like Georgie has, making her look even more drab and depressed.”
The hat was handmade especially for the production by Kerryblueknits, a New England-based crafter. “I have knit many a custom hat, but this was my first for a film,” says Kerry. “It was really exciting! Katie wanted a small hat, in light or medium grey, and something that an artsy person would have. At first she was thinking something slouchy, but that can be hard for petite women to pull off. We decided in the end on this beautiful lacy pattern – something that a young professional might have gone for, but in a subtle color.”
Kerry knitted the hat with an 85% wool/15% alpaca yarn. It is a size small and should be hand-washed and lain flat to dry.
Click here to place your bid, and be sure to check out Kerryblueknits on Etsy, where Kerry has a range of lovely hats, scarves and cowls perfect for any men or women in your life who need warming up this winter. She’s also more than happy to knit you a custom hat; prices start at $35.
* Shipping/postage will be charged at £2 (UK) or £4 (rest of world) on top. The winning bidder will be instructed how to pay via the Stop/Eject website. If he/she doesn’t pay within 48 hours of the auction ending, the hat will be offered to the next highest bidder. Bids received after the closing time will not count. Direct message the Stop/Eject Facebook page to bid anonymously.

CIPPIC_Questions_2004
This is an archive page. It should not be changed. Rather, it's content should be reflected in more recent documents, e.g. the monopolies on information and information technology FAQ pages. What follows were Answers to Questionnaires 2004 that Green Party supporters assembled during the Canadian federal election, 2004 to help brief candidate?s:
CIPPIC Questions 2004 (see their summary of answers ), and French version .
Music File-sharing: What is your position on the issue of file-sharing in Canada--should it be illegal?
Sharing files is not illegal — reproducing copyrighted materials without permission and distributing them is. File sharing should not be prohibited, as it is simple transmission of information.
The Green Party believes that copyright violators should be punished appropriately under existing law.
Technological Protection of Copyrighted Materials: What is your position on using legislation to prohibit circumvention of TPMs?
The protection of copyrighted material is a legal matter, to be pursued by legal means.
The Green Party believes that the open discussion of copy protection mechanisms (including their mechanism and means to circumvent them) can only result in the creation of better copy protection schemes. Private citizens have the right to own and control devices used for lawful purposes.
Educational Use of Internet Materials: Do you support an amendment to the Copyright Act to allow for the use of freely available materials on the Internet by participants in an educational program?
The Internet is a medium like any other. Regardless of the recording and transmission medium, copyright owners must (if they so desire) be compensated for their work. For materials made available to all on publicly accesible media, the original producer holds copyright. The onus is on the producer to indicate that compensation is required for reproduction of what would otherwise be perceived as free of royalties.
The Green Party will properly fund our educational institutions to allow them to purchase, develop, and produce necessary materials.
In addition, our government will be a full participant in open content projects, like the various GNU Free Documentation License or Creative Commons licensed knowledge bases. Government funding can in some cases be made conditional on the release of research through these "copyleft" licenses.
ISP Liability for copyright infringement: Should ISPs be protected from liability for copyright infringement when others merely transmit copyrighted materials over their facilities, or when others post copyrighted works on websites that the ISP merely hosts? What is your position on the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage's proposed "notice and takedown" scheme requiring ISPs to remove content on the sole basis of alleged copyright infringement?
ISPs provide access to a medium. The content of the medium is the responsibility of the users of the medium. Expecting ISPs to monitor their users (without their express permission, or a police warrant) violates the freedom of speech that is necessary for critical discourse and the proper functioning of a democracy.
The Green Party would protect ISPs from liability, unless it can be shown that the ISP was fully aware of the copyright infringement and did not take appropriate action to dissuade the illegal activities.
The Green Party will not make ISPs liable for content. Should copyrighted material be made available via an ISP, and the ISP is notified of that material, the ISP will be required to request that the customer remove the offending material. If the customer refuses to remove the material within a reasonable period of time, the ISP will be required to reveal the customer's identity so that legal proceedings may commence.
Any uncertainty to the copyright status of the allegedly offending material is an issue to be resolved by the courts. Until the copyright status of the material is determined, the court is to decide whether it should remain available or be removed.
Open Source Software: What is your position on increasing or mandating the use of open source software in government operations?
Closed protocols, systems, and architectures can play host to deleterious behaviour that is virtually impossible to correct. Open standards and architectures are necessary for any long-lived system.
The government must be able to create, customize, and improve its systems without having to rely on a single supplier. Conversely, the public must be able to verify and critique the architectures that are used to store, transmit, and protect sensitive information.
A Green Party government will only acquire systems are built upon open standards and protocols. If such systems are not available, or do not provide sufficient functionality, the value of creating or improving an open source solution will be weighed against the cost of using the equivalent closed system. A closed system will only be used if the vendor agrees to be liable for migrating to an open architecture within a reasonable time period.
Spam: How do you propose to approach the problem of spam?
The Internet is a shared medium, similar to the airwaves or postal service. Intentional pollution of the Internet through improper or malicious use has a negative effect on the public. The problem of spam email is comperable to the problem of unsolicited mail and phonecalls, and should be treated similarly (hopefully under existing legislation).
A Green Party government will engage the international and technical communities to participate in the creation of standards to correct this problem. In addition, Canadian researchers will be encouraged through research grants to create credible solutions to this widespread problem.
The Green Party is aware that the forging of email is identity theft, and should be punished as such.
National ID cards: What is your position on National ID cards?
National identity cards provide a means to track and monitor individual citizens as they go about their private business. No organization should be able to track individuals (without their permission) unless their is evidence of wrongdoing.
The Green Party will not institute any form of national identity cards.

Elijah Kane had enjoyed such a resounding success that his name would undoubtedly be in all the journals, his achievements lauded by those who once scorned him and his legacy to live on through the ages.
The problem was that none of it would happen.
He paused at the doorway to his research laboratory and leaned up against the door pillar to suck down a few deep breaths, his legs aching with the sudden burst of activity and his mind awash with the difficulty that now faced him.
He had to flee the doomed underwater research station.
They were loose.
Not just one or two which could be neutralised quite easily, but the whole lot of them, and they’d begun to swarm through the station with relish as their base instincts took over.
Crewmembers had fallen but he did not care, for none had seen fit to treat him with kindness or respect. In turn, he did not mourn their passing but saw them as useful diversions to delay his creations and give him time to flee.
Kane turned a little to stare up the long corridor he’d just run through and felt the heavy thud of his heart in his chest as the lighting began to flicker, then die in sequence from the furthest fitting to the next, each time moving that little bit closer.
He was trapped.
It seemed he’d overestimated the usefulness of those he once served alongside.
He stepped inside the lab and stabbed at the panel to seal the door, enabling the forcefield to buy him a little more time. It was a basic containment field, but good enough to keep small marauders out for the time being.
Fear gripped his mind as he darted across to the workbench and swept unfinished items onto the floor, his hands scrabbling to find the project he’d been working on that would save the most precious thing he coveted most of all, which was his intellect.
His private lab upon the surface was all prepared with an artificial body in situ, but he had yet to test his work. He silently wished he had more time.
The forcefield flickered and sparked.
He snatched up the headset and checked its design, making a few final adjustments with hands that trembled with a mix of dread and anticipation before placing the device on his scalp and flicking the switch to begin.
The vast cabinet to his left hummed with power and light flickered over its surface as the mind of Elijah Kane was scanned and recorded, his genius digitised and on its way to the surface in a tight-beam transmission to his waiting equipment.
Then the forcefield failed.
Sparks erupted as he swept around to see the walls around the doorway darken as his creations made their way into his laboratory, the thousands of bodies moving swiftly toward his position.
Soon he would be reborn. He would survive.
Kane laughed as they swept over him.
He. Would. Survive.

Brooklyn’s Pie Face Pictures Score a Pair of Cannes Lions
Posted July 14th, 2014 by pieface & filed under Uncategorized.
Pie Face Pictures’ Doug Karr and Patrick Letterii have taken home double Gold and a Silver Lion at the 2014 Cannes Lions Festival.
In collaboration with Grey New York for Dallas/TNT, “Dallas Gas Station” was directed by Karr and produced by Letterii.
“From a director’s standpoint, it was a dream come true having such an amazing crew on the project, both in terms of our own film personnel and the super talented folks at Grey, working together as a team to feed immediate turnarounds of video assets as we moved towards finishing a tight editorial deadline on the primary spot,” says Karr.
Working off of the hit TNT series, “Dallas”, the Ewing family was brought to life with the construction of a real live Ewing Energies gas station in midtown NYC. Gas prices were set at only $1.98 a gallon, a killer bargain for a product that has seen highs of almost five dollars a gallon. “We did a 24hour time-lapse session before the day even began to capture the complete transformation of the gas station from a BP station at 36th and 10th into the one-of-a-kind Ewing Energies station,” explains Letterii. The project spread like wildfire throughout a plethora of media outlets, driving the Huffington Post to describe the event as “one of the biggest stunts in TV advertising.” This activation focused on blurring the lines between reality and fiction, attracting both new and returning viewers. Says Karr, “Along with our partners at Grey, we paid a lot of attention to visual details to ensure that every aspect of this experience felt authentic for a seemingly endless line of excited New York City drivers. And we wanted to capture it in the most dynamic ways possible to create an action packed spot that would give folks at home the sense of being in the thick of the craziness.”
The spot documents every aspect of the gas station’s short existence, which literally gridlocked NYC traffic for blocks and wiped out competing stations nearby. A total of 10,000 gallons of gas were sold over a 12-hour period, and the spot captures the public’s elated responses as well as the not so happy reactions by the employees of rival stations. The video features John Ross Ewing III (played by actor Josh Henderson), a prominent member of the Ewing family business.
“I’ve never seen so many happy people; from the guy who shouted that now he was gonna get cheese on his burger after saving cash at the pump, to folks who were literally jumping up and down as we were filming 120 frames per second on a pair of EPICs, and of course we had to throw a little gas around, but luckily we succeeded in avoiding to blow the place up,” Karr remembrs.
So what does Pie Face have planned next? “Winning these awards solidifies our standing and allows us to strive even further in order to produce top quality advertising for our clients,” says Letterii. “We’ve got some amazing spots that are about to drop with innovative approaches to branding, advertising and media. I can’t get into specifics, but suffice it to say: it’s an exciting time.”

After training to be a junior school teacher in the nineteen seventies, Andrew realised that a career in a classroom of ten year olds wasn't for him. An earlier interest in design and craftsmanship resurfaced and he spent two years of informal tuition in fine furniture making with his father Harry, who spent most of his working life teaching woodwork and technical drawing in schools and to student craft teachers. Added to this, workshop experience and a course at Chesterfield College of Art set Andrew on the road to life as a designer maker. Since nineteen eighty he has been creating furniture in the former workshop of 'pioneer Derbyshire craftsman' Ben Coopland
[c. 1885-1965]in the magnificent landscape of the Peak District National Park.
His work has been widely exhibited, notably at the annual 'Celebration of Craftsmanship & Design' in Cheltenham, various exhibitions held in London and the provinces by the Society of Designer Craftsmen,
and most recently, 'The Arts & Crafts Legacy'in London, curated by Martin Grierson.
Andrew is a Member of The Chartered Society of Designers, a Fellow of the Society of Designer Craftsmen and a Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Furniture makers.
Away from his own workshop, he has taught at the Center For Furniture Craftsmanship, Maine, USAand assisted Alan Peters OBE, Minehead, Somerset, for two short periods.
Andrew creates furniture that is fit for purpose, of high quality materials throughout and using the best constructional methods for the job, with the joints themselves forming a decorative element of the design where appropriate. Much of his work has a geometric, rather than organic feel, which is partly a result of his fascination with Art Deco and Modernist architecture.
Most of his work is made to commission, but he also makes several speculative pieces each year to offer for sale at exhibitions and directly from his small showroom.
Enquires are invited for any single item or room scheme that requires distinctive and individual handling, for private homes, corporate clients and public buildings.

Bagley, Giles shine in NBA summer league debuts
The former Duke one-and-done big men had a big night in their first game together as members of the Sacramento Kings
July 3, 2018 Brett Friedlander Article
Former Duke one-and-done big men Harry Giles (20) and Marvin Bagley III stood out in the NBA's California Classic on Monday (Kings.com photo)
Marvin Bagley III was dominant in his NBA Summer League debut Monday.
The second overall pick in last month’s draft had 18 points, six rebounds and three blocked shots while going 6 of 11 from the floor in 25 minutes for the Sacramento Kings in a 98-93 win against the Los Angeles Lakers.
As impressive as Bagley’s effort was, punctuated by a poster-quality dunk over Lakers’ rookie Moritz Wagner, it wasn’t the most promising performance by a one-and-done Duke big man during the opening day of the four-team California Classic tournament.
That distinction belonged to Bagley’s Sacramento teammate Harry Giles.
Playing in his first game in over a year after sitting out the entire 2017-18 season with strengthening his surgically repaired knee, Giles contributed 13 points, three rebounds and a steal while going 6 of 10 from the floor in the Kings’ victory.
He also played 25 minutes and from the sound of things, enjoyed every second of it.
“I can’t put it into words. I had a great time out there,” Giles told Kings.com. “ I played hard and went through the battle. I got a cut lip, but that’s what I wanted to put myself back in the mix and feel like I’m part of the game again.”
A third first-round Kings draft pick from a state school, North Carolina’s Justin Jackson, also played for Sacramento, finishing with five points, a rebound and an assist in 32 minutes.
Undrafted free agent Allerik Freeman of NC State did not see action in the game. Neither did UNC’s Joel Berry, who is attempting to make the Lakers’ roster as an undrafted free agent.
The Golden State Warriors beat the Miami Heat 79-68 in the other game on the opening day of the Sacramento summer league.
Play also began in Salt Lake City at the Utah Jazz Summer League, with Duke’s Grayson Allen making his professional debut against the San Antonio Spurs.
The former Blue Devil didn’t shoot well, going 4 of 16 from the floor and 2 of 6 from 3-point range. But he still nearly produced a triple double with 11 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in 22 minutes.
UNC’s Tony Bradley finished with 11 points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots for the Jazz in a 92-76 victory. NC State’s Maverick Rowan made a cameo appearance in the game, playing only one minute and missing his only shot for the Jazz.
In the other Salt Lake City game, former Wake Forest star John Collins had nine points and six rebounds for the Atlanta Hawks in a 103-88 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Play in both summer leagues continues on Tuesday and continues through Thursday. They are both preliminaries to the more prestigious Vegas Summer League, in which all 30 teams are participating, runs from July 6-17. Games in all three leagues will be televised by NBA TV and ESPN.
Here are the cumulative stats for all state players participating in Sacramento and Salt Lake City:

Peak Resources delivers "robust" Ngualla PFS, maiden Ore Reserve
Peak Resources' (ASX: PEK) should trade higher after it released an economically robust Pre-Feasibility Study for its Ngualla Rare Earth Project in Tanzania that lowers underlying capital costs by US$91 million and highlights NPV of US$1.31 billion.
The company has also defined a maiden Ore Reserve of 20.7 million tonnes at 4.54% rare earth oxides.
Other highlights of the DFS include a 39% IRR for a base case project producing 10,000 tonnes per annum of separated high-purity rare earth oxides; payback in the third year of production; and average annual operating free cash flow of US$174 million for 58 years.
Notably, 83% of Ngualla’s forecast revenue is derived from high value, high demand neodymium – praseodymium along with mid and heavy rare earth products.
“We are extremely happy with the results from the PFS. These show the project to be robust with an extremely long mine life and attractive free cash generation,” managing director Darren Townsend said.
“From the detailed work completed we have identified opportunities for potential further operating cost reductions through the optimisation of the processing circuits and additional reagent recycling.
“With the positive outcome of the study we will step up our discussions with a number of potential strategic financial partners with a view to rapidly progressing the development of the Ngualla Project.”
He also noted the announcement of an Ore Reserve was an important milestone in the development of the Ngualla Project into a low cost producer of high quality separated rare earth products.
“The Ore Reserve is one of the world’s largest outside of China and is also high quality with over 86% in the highest JORC Proved category,” Townsend added.
Pre-Feasibility Study
The detailed PFS and economic assessment for Peak’s wholly-owned Ngualla project is based on extensive evaluation and metallurgical test work programs that confirmed the project as having low capital and operating costs along with a long project life.
Pre-tax and royalty NPV has being estimated at US$1.31 billion while post-tax and royalty is US$1 billion. IRR is expected to be about 39%.
Data from a high quality Resource and detailed mine planning schedule was fed into a processing flow sheet based on data from metallurgical test work completed for every stage of the overall extraction process from Ngualla’s mineralisation to high purity separated rare earth products.
Sophisticated engineering simulation and mass balance modelling of the demonstrated metallurgical process supports the detailed capital and operating cost estimates for the PFS.
The conventional open pit mine requires a simple, low cost, easy to operate acid leach extraction process.
This has reduced underlying capital cost by 24% from the May 2013 Revised Scoping Study to US$282 million while Capex is estimated at US$367 million (including a 30% contingency).
Operating costs are estimated at US$11.74 per kilogram.
In addition, the estimated 58 year mine life covers just the weathered Bastnaesite Zone alone, which hosts 22% of the overall 4.4 million tonnes REO Resource.
The Ngualla Mine and processing plant are expected to produce 10,000 tonnes per annum of >99% purity, separated rare earth oxide products.
This production rate is based on Proved (86%) and Probable (14%) Ore Reserves of 20.7 million tonnes at 4.54% rare earth oxides.
About 83% of Ngualla’s forecast revenue is derived from the high value, high demand neodymium – praseodymium as well as mid and heavy rare earth products.
The company has used conservative price assumptions with an average product price of US$29.29 per kilogram of high purity separated REO.
This is leveraged to any further increases in rare earth prices with potential for after tax and royalty NPV to increase to US$ 1.6 billion for an additional 25% increase in prices.
Maiden Ore Reserve
The Maiden Ore Reserve of 20.7 million tonnes at 4.54% REO, or 941,000 tonnes of contained REO, was estimated by independent mining consultancy Orelogy Group using the Measured and Indicated portions of the Resource for the weathered Bastnaesite Zone at a 3% REO cut-off grade.
Metallurgical test work has shown high rare earth recoveries can be expected from the weathered Bastnaesite Zone portion of the Ngualla Mineral Resource using the metallurgical process demonstrated.
A geometallurgical model was developed based on geology, geochemistry and leach variability test work that identifies this mineralisation.
Mining losses and dilution are expected to be minimal due to the thick blanket morphology of the deposit and the use of small mining equipment operating at a relatively slow total mining rate of 1.2Mt of waste plus ore per annum over the life of mine.
Mineralisation within the weathered Bastnaesite Zone occurs as a flat lying thick blanket with the highest grades at surface and material that is predominantly soft and friable.
The mine design was based on the pit shell selected during the optimisation exercise. Mining is through two successive 5 metres benches for a batter height of 10 metres with a face slope angle of 50 degrees and overall pit slope angle of 37 degrees.
This slope angle is conservative and expected to be improved on completion of the geotechnical investigations to be undertaken during the Definitive Feasibility Study.
Peak has developed and successfully demonstrated a metallurgical process for taking the weathered Bastnaesite Zone mineralisation through to high purity separated rare earth oxide products.
The relatively simple three stage process consists of:
- Beneficiation: physical concentration of the rare earth host minerals and rejection of gangue minerals;
- Recovery: chemical recovery, purification and concentration of the rare earths using a simple sulphuric acid leach; and
- Separation: purification and recovery of individual or grouped high purity rare earth oxides via solvent extraction.
Uranium and thorium levels are extremely low within the ore body and average 16ppm and 59ppm respectively. No deleterious elements have been identified.
Ngualla Project
The Ngualla Project comprises two Prospecting Licences, PL6079/2009 and PL9157/2013, located in southwest Tanzania, 55 kilometres west of the main north-south trunk road in the west of the country.
A 827 kilometre long bitumen highway and the TAZARA railway connect the city of Mbeya, 150 kilometres south of the site, to the deep water sea port of Dar es Salaam.
Ongoing major upgrades to the road and rail network are bringing this region’s infrastructure up to first world standards and is a major advantage for Ngualla’s logistics and site access.
Peak will undertake a required Environmental and Social Impact Assessment as part of the Definitive Feasibility phase of the project and submit the findings to the Tanzanian National Environment Management Council for review and approval by the Minister responsible for the environment.
The whole process is well established and will take between 6 to 12 months, so will be completed in parallel with the Definitive Feasibility study.
Ngualla is targeting a 2016 start for production.
Peak Resources has reached two key value accretive milestones for its Ngualla Rare Earth Project in Tanzania with the release of its Pre-Feasibility Study and maiden Ore Reserves.
The PFS establishes Ngualla as an economically robust project with a pre-tax and royalty NPV of US$1.31 billion as well as a post-tax IRR of 39%.
Notably, the project also offers low capital and operating costs, a long initial mine life of 58 years as well as leverage to rising rare earth prices.
We consider the study is share price accretive by 30-40%.

The birthday party for Wayne’s daughter was going well. She was happy, and she should’ve been. The cake alone cost the entire weekend of overtime he pulled two weeks prior.
His wife insisted. “You only turn four once,” she said. As far as he was concerned, you only live once, and his life was nothing but working to blow his money on a stupid party his daughter wouldn’t even remember.
He’d already sold his boat to afford her birth. Not to mention proms, college, and someday a wedding. He wondered if a man could die from writing checks.
Wayne watched his daughter prance around with a bubble blowing gun. She didn’t care about the cake or the bouncy inflatables or even the presents—just the bubbles. They formed, floated upwards, and popped with the jab of a tiny four-year-old finger. A lifespan as fleeting and pointless as his paycheck’s.
“Daddy! Bubbles,” she gleefully declared as she ran to him.
“Yeah, Wendy. Bubbles,” he said unamused.
She tugged at his arm. Wayne rolled his eyes and knelt to meet her face to face.
“No, Daddy. Daddy bubbles.”
She pulled the machine’s trigger, and a glossy new bubble materialized between them. But instead of seeing a distorted image of his daughter’s face on the other side, he saw an older version of himself inside the sphere.
Playing forward like a projection in the bubble’s shimmer, he saw what he knew to be the future. But he didn’t see another boat or Super Bowl tickets. Instead, he saw himself teaching a teenage Wendy how to dance.
The projection changed to show him staring into her empty room, after having dropped her off for her freshman year of college. Then, it revealed him walking her down an aisle, giving her away to another man. She kissed him on the cheek.
The last projection was of him as an elderly man. A much older Wendy straightened a blanket over his shoulders, kissed him on the cheek, and said, “Look, Daddy. Our bubbles.” She dipped a plastic stick into a bottle and blew. Bubbles filled the image until a tiny finger popped the magical sphere.
Wayne looked at his smiling daughter with tears in his eyes. “Daddy bubbles,” he said.

Travels in Central B.C. Part 2 – The Gold Rush Trail
Posted on August 4, 2019 by Richard McGuire
A coach makes its way down the streets of Barkerville pulled by Belgian and Percheron horses. Barkerville, the scene of B.C.’s gold rush starting in the 1860s, has been reconstructed and brought back to life. (Richard McGuire Photo)
The British Columbia gold rushes that started at the end of the 1850s and boomed throughout the 1860s played a major role in opening up the B.C. Interior and its transportation routes.
On the second part of my trip to Central B.C. in late June, I explored some of the routes traveled by gold prospectors and miners around the upper Fraser Valley and beyond.
I visited several old mining communities, the most noteworthy of which were Quesnel Forks and Barkerville.
Quesnel Forks, near the present community of Likely, was established in 1860 and for a while was a major supply centre for the Cariboo Gold Rush.
Built at the confluence of the Quesnel and Cariboo rivers, the community was a jumping off point to other gold discoveries in the region. For a while, it served a transient mining population of a couple thousand.
Quesnel Forks boomed for a short time, but when the Cariboo Wagon Road was finished in the mid-1860s, the route bypassed Quesnel Forks, instead directing mining traffic through Barkerville.
A decade later, most of Quesnel Forks’ population was gone. A small community of Chinese miners and merchants remained. By the 1950s, the last residents had either died or moved and Quesnel Forks became a ghost town.
Today it is a peaceful place with a maintained cemetery in which many of those buried were killed in mining accidents. Community volunteers have restored some of the town’s old buildings, while others are little more than remnants of a foundation and pieces of wood.
I visited Barkerville first, even though it developed later than Quesnel Forks. Barkerville was built on the site of a gold strike in 1861 by Billy Barker and others.
It is 80 km east of Quesnel by Highway 26, which was built along the old Cariboo Wagon Road.
Barkerville had a population of 5,000 in the mid-1860s, when it became a regional mining centre. More than half the population was Chinese.
Since 1957, Barkerville has been developed under the B.C. government as a tourist attraction. Some of its buildings are more or less original, while others have been rebuilt based on whatever historical records exist, or based on how similar buildings of the time may have looked.
When you walk through Barkerville today, there are interpretive actors in roles of people from the 1860s. Some of the building interiors are done up to make them look as they might have in the heyday of Barkerville, including objects from that time. Others provide eateries and other services to tourists.
Although the restoration is very well done, today’s Barkerville lacks the grittiness shown in 19th century photographs.
I camped two nights at Ten Mike Lake Provincial Park outside Quesnel and two nights at Cedar Point Provincial Park near Likely as I explored the region.
Here are some photos from Barkerville and Quesnel Forks. I’ll have more in a coming post from some of the explorations of the region.

'Making a Murderer' Season Two Likely Coming in Late 2017
'Making a Murderer's second season could premiere before the end of 2017.
Netflix has confirmed that, although it has not announced a launch date, it expects have new episodes from series creators Moira Demos and Laura Ricciardi this year.
"Laura and Moira are shooting regularly and working on what the right story is to tell in the next set, so we're deferring to them on when it will be ready," VP Cindy Holland tells USA Today.
"Very few people inside of Netflix actually know the details of what we're getting because we're wanting to keep it really under wraps and it is an ongoing case so we're trying to be sensitive to that."
Of course, the case revolves around Steven Avery, who was convicted for the 2005 murder of photographer Teresa Halbach in the midst of his $36 million lawsuit against Manitowac County for wrongfully convicting him of sexual assault after serving 18 years in prison.
Avery has maintained he was framed and new attorney Kathleen Zellner has said she believes new scientific testing on the same evidence will free him.

Bea Mountain Employees Want Salary Increment, Benefits
Minister of Internal Affairs Varney Sirleaf, Chief Zanzan Karwor, and community residents during the dialogue.Aggrieved workers of the Liberty Gold Mine operated by the Bea Mountain Corporation in Kinjor, Grand Cape Mount are appealing to the government through the Ministry of Labor and other agencies to immediately order the company to increase their salaries and settle their claims.Bea Mountain Corporation, which is a subsidiary of Aureus Mining Company, is operating under an 8-year concession agreement with the Government of Liberia. Details of the concession agreement remain scanty but according to sources, the company is expected to produce a billion dollars worth of gold over the 8-year period.It also remains unclear just how much the people of Kinjor as well as the Government of Liberia stand to receive from the production of a billion dollars worth of gold. It is also unclear how much the World Bank through its offspring, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), stands to benefit from the operation as the largest shareholder.But one thing which experts in the industry seem to agree on is that the people of Kinjor as well as the government of Liberia are being shortchanged.The distressed workers said the lack of due process in job dismissals, the disparity in amenities and salaries for expatriate versus local workers, the demand for improved services, and fulfillment of overdue obligations lie at the heart of the current problem at Kinjor.They further alleged that they have on several occasions called on the county leadership to address the matter before the onset of the rainy season – well before the matter got out of hand – but felt that their concerns went virtually ignored. “These people, Cape Mount Caucus, you are seeing here today are very wicked; we have called several times but they have refused to come to our call. Or is it because they have heard about the ‘country devil’ is why they came? That’s just the beginning,” said an aggrieved resident. Partial view of residents at the dialogue.Varney Kromah, a local resident, said that over the past months and years, they have been complaining about problems that include unemployment and unfair labor practices, including the issue of resettlement benefits, cooperative farming, and the planting of cornerstones among others.And because management had allegedly paid deaf ears to their concerns, on February 5, 2018 residents requested the intervention of the ‘country devil,’ which paralyzed the entire operations of Aureus Gold, according to Varney Kromah.The intervention of the ‘country devil’ stalled the free movement of non-members and shut down other businesses. The situation led to the shooting and wounding of two persons, namely Zina Dassin and Francis Benson, by officers of the Emergency Response Unit of the Liberia National Police. The wounded persons are still undergoing treatment at the J.F.K Memorial Hospital.Emmanuel Kamara, spokesperson of the group, said Bea Mountain is “using us like tools,” without providing any incentives for services rendered. He declared, “We have held several meetings with them including management and the Board Chairman, who assured us that we will receive our due benefits, but to no avail up to present.”But one of the workers, Miatta Paul, told the Daily Observer in Kinjor over the weekend that they are yet to receive anything regarding the payment of the benefits the company owes them, including money they promised to be given for their children’s school fees. According to Miatta, the Bea Mountain management promised each worker US$200 for their children’s fees.Ms. Paul, who is one of the contractors on the gold mine, revealed to our reporter that in order for the New Liberty Gold to operate in the area, about 325 families in two villages, Kinjor and Larjor, were forced to leave their homes, farms, and artisanal mines that had provided income for them.Construction began on the mine in 2014, and the first gold sales came a year later. Even though the company describes the operation as a ‘key asset,’ the promised better amenities are yet to materialize years later, and there has already been one major chemical spill that has polluted the environment, Miatta Paul said.In return for their relocation to a new village, also named Kinjor, which was carved out of the forest near the mine, the company promised to make life better: new houses, a school, hand pumps, which could have made all the difference for them.For their part, Traditional Council of Liberia chairman Chief Zanzan Karwor and Cape Mount District #2 Representative Mambu Sonii said from the investigation conducted, they see no conflict between the residents and Bea Mountain managers in Kinjor.They observed that what is stalling progress in the area is the people themselves and not the company. They warned that until the inhabitants of Kinjor including the youth and elders of that area stop the internal wrangling, development will continue to elude them. They further declared that the company continues to exploit them because of their disunity.Chief Zanzan Karwor, who spoke on behalf of the Traditional Council, called for a revisit of the Resettlement Action Plan and Concessional Agreement, and used the occasion to order a halt to all Poro activities in the area.He blamed community and government relations manager, Sando Wayne, for hastily calling in the Liberia National Police’s Emergency Response Unit (ERU), whose intervention led to the shooting and wounding of two civilians. Chief Karwor said Wayne should understand that he is a Liberian and should also consider himself as a ‘twin father,’ meaning he should work for both sides.For his part, Representative Mambu Sonii of District #2 lauded Chief Karwor for his sound analysis in the Kinjor case, adding that he believes that the problem in Kinjor is the people themselves, and called on the Minister of Internal Affairs to have another meeting to settle the internal problems between the elders, youth, and the landowners, or else ‘they will always continue to cry.’In remarks, Internal Affairs Minister Varney Sirleaf thanked all of the speakers for their participation and said several meetings will be called in order to find a lasting solution to the Kinjor problem.Minister Sirleaf vowed to constructively engage the landowners including the elders so they can all sit down to a dialogue on the Kinjor issue. The Internal Affairs Minister in his remarks appealed to the Bea Mountain management to install varnished ceilings in all of the housing units under construction for the residents, all part of promises made to residents.He also encouraged the company to have the clinic effectively running. The minister further called on the company to consider the agriculture program that forms part of the Resettlement Action Plan so the uneducated can take advantage of it. Minister Sirleaf then imposed a US$1,500 fine on the management of the Bea Mountain Mining Company.Clarifying the fine, Minister Sirleaf said the it does not imply guilt, but was intended to cement the broken relationships between the company and the residents of Kinjor and Lajor.In conclusion, Sando Wayne, community and government relations manager of Bea Mountain, acknowledged the plight of the workers and residents, and promised to get back to them very soon.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) read more

Lack of finances hinders work of EPA – Director
Executive Director of EPA, Dr Vincent AdamsAlthough air pollution is a “major concern” for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which falls under the Natural Resources Ministry, the Department is not equipped with the necessary tools to test air quality owing to the lack of finances.In an interview with Guyana Times on Wednesday, EPA Executive Director, Dr Vincent Adams complained that the body was unable to function at its full potential, as funding for critical aspects such as capacity building was unavailable.Speaking on the occasion of World Environment Day, which focuses on air pollution this year, Dr Adams stated: “We are looking at some statistics and the air pollution, I think, it says nine out of ten persons in the entire world is somehow exposed to air pollution. I think one out of every eight deaths occurs from air pollution directly or indirectly.”But although this is the case, he admitted, the EPA cannot test air quality. “So it’s a major concern and the problem is we do not see what’s in the air; it’s there, but we are not aware of it and that’s why the EPA is so important, because we are supposed to be equipped, even though you can’t see it, it’s to understand what’s out there and to mitigate against any health defects that come to the public,” Dr Adams explained.He is hoping that the Government considers the Agency in its next budget.“In my budget that I am going to be proposing for 2020, we are going to be proposing all of that, all of the requirements in the upcoming budget, but this here is really important and as a matter of fact, we have been taking it very, very seriously,” the Director assured.In addition, he stressed that the staffers of the EPA required training if they were to carry out their duties in a more effective manner, especially now that the natural resources sector is being broadened with oil production.“We need lots of resources, we need personnel who are trained, but we are not there yet. As a matter of fact, to be very candid or honest with you, we’re not even close to being there, so we’re putting a plan in place and next year’s budget is probably going to be the budget that really identifies all of the gaps,” Dr Adams posited.In the meantime, he said, the EPA has been conducting gap analysis to identify exactly what materials are needed. The Director referenced the fact that Guyana, with its diverse topography, required special vehicles to visit places such as the interior regions where mining was often conducted.He explained, “We have on the books currently over… I think it’s like 1200 permits meaning that we’ve got 1200 operations out there that we have permitted to operate, so we are supposed to oversee these things and not only issue permits but to go out there and monitor and make sure they are in compliance with these permits to protect the environment’s health and safety so we need equipment, we need lots of resources, we need personnel who are trained, but we are not there yet.”The EPA was established by the Environmental Protection Act in 1996. It is tasked with undertaking the necessary measures to manage, conserve, protect, and improve the local environment.It specifically handles matters such as air quality and noise, freshwater, waste, biological resources, land resources, research and development, ecological and human health risk, education, communication and awareness. read more

The Riches of ‘Mama Peace’ By Sonala Olumhense
How much is Patience Jonathan worth? You can keep your guess. Here is mine: Goodluck Jonathan does not know. Some people say, he dares not ask, but that is just hearsay. What is important is: Patience has a general, and better idea. General because it is one thing to invite a bank to your presence and open several accounts, it is another to be able to swear as to how much is actually in which account.
by Sonala Olumhense Sep 18, 2016
How much is Patience Jonathan worth?
You can keep your guess. Here is mine: Goodluck Jonathan does not know. Some people say, he dares not ask, but that is just hearsay.
What is important is: Patience has a general, and better idea. General because it is one thing to invite a bank to your presence and open several accounts, it is another to be able to swear as to how much is actually in which account.
According to emerging accounts, pardon the pun, on March 22, 2010, Mrs. Jonathan opened four accounts at Skye Bank. Actually, the bank, shepherded by one of her husband’s all-purpose “special advisers”, appeared in her presence to open the accounts.
His name: Waripamo Dudafa. At the time, he carried the powerful label of “Special Adviser on Domestic Affairs” to Mr. Jonathan. He it was who led to Mrs. Jonathan at home, two senior officers of Skye Bank: Demola Bolodeoku and Dipo Oshodi. Her husband was Nigeria’s Acting President; in 43 days he would become President.
When you are as powerful as Mrs. Jonathan was, you do not go to the bank. And so the bank came to Mrs. Jonathan. Mission: to open five accounts for the First Lady.
People worldwide have been asking one question since this story broke: What kind of person opens five accounts in one bank in one day?
It is probably a silly question, but I will provide the answer: it is the kind of person who has, or is expecting more money than will fit into one account!
Anyhow, these are the facts we know. It however seems that Mrs. Jonathan, who had the accounts opened in her presence, perhaps as she got her pedicure done or gave commands on the phone, somehow “discovered” that “Derring-Do” Dudafa had opened only one of the accounts in the name of the most powerful woman who ever ate eba with her right hand.
Yes: despite Mrs. Jonathan personally, and with that same right hand and an expensive pen signing the five accounts that night as Dr. Dame Chief (Mrs). Patience Fakabelema Jonathan, Mr. Derring-Do—in the equivalent of signing your own death warrant—allegedly opened not one, not two, not three but four, in the names of his own companies.
In other words, we have to suppose that all of the funds that Mrs. Jonathan labored so hard for before and during her First Ladyship, went to Mr. Dudafa four-fifths of the time.
It is unclear exactly when Dudafa performed on Mrs. Jonathan the dastardly bait and switch the “umblerah” party had perfected. It is even less clear exactly when Mrs. Jonathan found out.
She may blame her husband. Mr. Jonathan it was who early in 2014 appointed into the governorship of the Central Bank of Nigeria, one Godwin Emefiele. But even though Patience had once declared as “brain-dead” Muhammadu Buhari, the man who would succeed her husband in office, Buhari somehow contrived to keep in office the said governor.
And Emefiele it was who superintended the Bank Verification Number (BVN) exercise in 2014, which is how the EFCC entered the story, leading to some account freezes.
And that, we assume, is how the news came to Mrs. Jonathan one day in that month: her high-value medical accounts of about $15 million (US) had been frozen. By the EFCC.
That is news bad enough to make anyone wet their bed. Not Mama Peace. Instituting a legal challenge, she affirmed that each and every dollar in the accounts in question was hers. $15m in “medical” money.
I have always said that the BVN exercise was fraudulent. Were it honest, the government would have since the first few months of 2014 trapped so many wealthy Nigerians in their own vomit this country would have changed, no pun intended.
Okay, I know her husband insisted that stealing was no corruption, but think about it: Mrs. Jonathan is the first Politically Exposed Person to be openly—but only accidentally—linked with one of those huge chunks of funny money.
Last Thursday, the case became even more fascinating, as the four companies involved pleaded guilty to money-laundering.
Some housekeeping: For those who are neither old nor literate enough, Mrs. Jonathan and I are old acquaintances in this column. It is nearly 10 years and 10 days since the EFCC seized from her the astounding sum of $13.5 million dollars, and accused her of money-laundering, the second such charge within one month. Earlier, brandishing a court order, the agency had frozen N104 million she allegedly tried to launder.
At the time, Mr. Jonathan was the governor of Bayelsa State. Nonetheless, as the EFCC bustled off to the Federal High Court in Abuja, I fully expected Mrs. Jonathan to end up in jail.
But despite all of the grandstanding, Mrs. Jonathan was not prosecuted. As a matter of fact, it would appear that the EFCC quietly withdrew the cases and returned the confiscated funds to her, perhaps with a written apology. The agency never offered an official report or explanation.
Back in the news 10 years later, Mrs. Jonathan, conveniently out of the country at the moment, wants back $15m she refers to as her medical money. The authorities also found $5m in another account in her name after the first story broke. She responded with a N200m “fundamental rights enforcement” action against Skye Bank Plc for giving to the EFCC information that was then used to “used to inconvenience and embarrass” her.
I believe Mrs. Jonathan has done Nigeria a big favour by claiming that the funds belong to her. She should therefore be given the money, all of it.
First, however, she must establish how she earned it. Let us remember: she does have a track record, including those 2006 EFCC seizures. It is also on record that in its report on the 2007 election, the American Council on Foreign Relations described Mrs. Jonathan as the "greediest person in Bayelsa State."
Greed: If she opened five accounts in one night while her husband was Acting President, how many did she have when she was establishing that reputation as Bayelsa’s worst, and how many when he became President?
Mrs. Jonathan is said to own Yenagoa’s Arisdorf N10billion Resort Wellness and Spa. She has also been linked with a string of other properties, especially in Abuja, including the sprawling high-end but currently abandoned estate in Kado-Kuchi. This is an opportunity not only for her to recover her so-called medical allowance, but her soiled reputation.
I am reminded of her thanksgiving service in Aso Rock in February 2013 when she confessed she had nearly died in hospital in Germany. She said she suffered through eight or nine surgeries in one month, and had spent seven days in some sort of coma.
She then pledged to embark on “things that will touch the lives of the less privileged…[as God] gave me a second chance because I [died]…”
In my comment, I challenged Mrs. Jonathan to show proof of her pledge. Three years later, we have only evidence of astounding wealth she suggests she is entitled to, in the midst of extreme poverty.
The question is: who is going to ensure justice, not rhetoric?

Birthright Citizenship: A Fundamental Misunderstanding of the 14th Amendment
What’s the citizenship status of the children of illegal aliens? That question has spurred quite a debate over the 14th Amendment lately, with the news that several states—including Pennsylvania, Arizona, Oklahoma, Georgia, and South Carolina—may launch efforts to deny automatic citizenship to such children.
Critics claim that anyone born in the United States is automatically a U.S. citizen, even if their parents are here illegally. But that ignores the text and legislative history of the 14th Amendment, which was ratified in 1868 to extend citizenship to freed slaves and their children.
The 14th Amendment doesn’t say that all persons born in the U.S. are citizens. It says that “[a]ll persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” are citizens. That second, critical, conditional phrase is conveniently ignored or misinterpreted by advocates of “birthright” citizenship.
Critics erroneously believe that anyone present in the United States has “subjected” himself “to the jurisdiction” of the United States, which would extend citizenship to the children of tourists, diplomats, and illegal aliens alike.
Bloomberg Spends $30 Million on TV Ads for Gun Controllers
With the midterm elections fast approaching Michael Bloomberg is spending $30 million on TV ads alone for Congressional gun controllers.
The ad campaign is meant to benefit gun-control candidates in swing districts between now and the November 6 elections.
The Hill reports that Bloomberg is spending the money through his Independence USA PAC
Trump administration approves Wisconsin Medicaid work requirement
Wisconsin will begin requiring people on Medicaid to work or train for work as a condition of staying enrolled in the program, despite a legal battle in Arkansas over a similar program.
The Trump administration approved a Medicaid waiver for the state on Wednesday, with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Seema Verma calling it a program to "achieve independence and self-sufficiency."
The approval came even though a lawsuit knocked down a similar provision in Kentucky and another suit is pending in Arkansas. It also arrived less than a week ahead of Election Day as Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who backed the requirements, is neck-and-neck with his Democratic challenger, Tony Evers.
Who Died and Made Robert Mueller Lord and King?!
On Tuesday we were given information on accusations against former FBI Director Robert Mueller.
This came after Robert Mueller called on the FBI to investigate a media report that women were being paid to accuse him of sexual misconduct. So here’s a question – Why does Mueller get to use the full power of the federal government to investigate charges against him? Who died and made him lord and king?
President Trump spends millions on legal fees to address personal accusations but King Mueller spends nothing and instead has the American taxpayer pay his legal fees?
BREAKING: ANTIFA MOB CURRENTLY OUTSIDE HOME OF TUCKER CARLSON
A mob of Antifa protesters is currently outside the DC-area home of Fox News personality Tucker Carlson.
The group is threatening Carlson and demanding that he leave town, saying that “tonight, we remind you that you are not safe either.”
It is unclear if Carlson’s wife or four children are currently at home. It is unlikely that the host was home, as the harassment began less than an hour before his show is scheduled to air.
According to posts from “Smash Racism DC” — the group is protesting Carlson’s coverage of the migrant caravan heading for the US border.
David Horowitz: Corrupt Media Reaches for 'Racism' as Last Resort
In the beginning, the Florida gubernatorial contest looked to be a no-brainer.
On the one hand, Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is an Iraq War veteran and Bronze Star recipient, a Harvard Law graduate, and a three-term congressman representing Florida’s sixth district. His opponent, Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum, is facing corruption investigations by the FBI, and is a demagogue who fends off questions about his coziness with pro-terrorist groups by calling them racial attacks.
But the Democrats and their complicit media have put DeSantis on the defensive by making it a campaign about race.

89-year-old Boston mob boss James ‘Whitey’ Bulger was killed in prison by a ‘fellow inmate with mafia ties’ shortly after he was transferred to a West Virginia federal prison.
This would be an example of why an electoral college is so important during presidential races.
This is the map for the House of Representatives election and the number of representatives for each state.
This will be important in the 2020 elections.
Looks like a red wave to me.

Hanoi Jane Fonda and Liberal Hollywood Elites to Appear on Democrat Voter Telethon!
In 1972 “Hanoi” Jane Fonda applauded an NVA anti-aircraft gun crew during her trip to North Vietnam. These guns were used to shoot down American planes and contributed to the deaths of American Airmen.
Jane Fonda once said, “If you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would some day become communist.”
Hanoi Jane Fonda and several Hollywood elites will make appearances on a liberal voter telethon next week.
Yahoo.com reported:
Hollywood celebrities including Jane Fonda, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Amy Schumer will take part in an online telethon on Monday to urge young people to pledge to vote in Tuesday’s congressional midterm elections.
The two-hour “Telethon for America,” created by comedian Ben Gleib, will be streamed live starting at 9 p.m. ET on Monday on YouTube, Facebook Live and Comedy Central’s website, organizers said in a statement.
This telethon, unlike traditional ones, will not ask for money. Instead, viewers will be urged to call in to a celebrity phone bank and pledge to vote in the next day’s election.
More than 50 actors, comedians and YouTube stars will take part, including Judd Apatow, Chelsea Handler and Olga Kay. The celebrities will be encouraged to simulcast the program live on their own social media channels.
Islamists Behind 84 Percent of Terror Killings in West
Islamists were responsible for a massive 84.27 per cent of terror killings in the West in 2017, with 66.67 per cent of the perpetrators coming to their target country from abroad.
The number of foreign-born radical Islamic terrorists carrying out attacks in Western countries was up substantially from 2016, when 40.54 per cent of attackers struck outside their country of origin, according to a report by the Henry Jackson Society.
Islamists achieved their 84 percent share of terror fatalities despite accounting for 48.53 percent of terrorist incidents overall, suggesting they tend to be more lethal than, for example, far-right terrorists — who accounted for 20.59 percent of terrorist incidents but only 12.36 percent of terror fatalities.
Hitman 'hired by jealous woman' to shoot rival given death penalty
A hitman who killed a jealous woman's love rival in the parking lot of her upmarket Dallas apartment has been given the death penalty.
Kristopher Love, 34, was found guilty of capital murder in a Dallas courtroom last Thursday for shooting Kendra Hatcher, 35, in the head in September 2015.
Jurors heard how Love was recruited for the killing, allegedly by 36-year-old Brenda Delgado who wanted revenge after Hatcher began dating her ex Ricardo Paniagua.
On Wednesday, a jury took three hours to vote to condemn him to death by lethal injection.
Love becomes the first man sent to death row from Dallas county since 2013.
Chicago man sentenced to 60 years for stabbing girlfriend's daughter to death
A Chicago man has been jailed for 60 years for stabbing his girlfriend's 12-year-old daughter to death.
Alexis Stubbs could be heard on voicemail screaming "daddy don't" while she was repeatedly stabbed by John Singleton in June 2017.
The 32-year-old man was sentenced this week after he pleaded guilty to first-degree murder. Other charges were dropped, including aggravated kidnapping and aggravated battery involving a police officer.
UC Davis is holding eight faculty searches focused on candidates' contributions to diversity, instead of narrow disciplinary expertise
Hoping to increase faculty diversity, UC Davis is holding eight open searches focused on candidates' contributions to diversity, instead of narrow disciplinary expertise.
The University of California, Davis, is launching a pilot hiring program that eliminates the requirement -- typical in department searches -- that candidates have a specific disciplinary specialty.
Davis says the research-backed approach will help it increase faculty diversity.
“Part of having a diverse student body poised for success is having a diverse faculty,” said Philip H. Kass, vice provost for academic affairs. "Part of having intellectual leadership in research and scholarship is having a diverse faculty. Part of bringing students of color into graduate school and academic careers is having a diverse faculty.”
Davis is funding the program with some $422,000 of a $7 million University of California System-wideinvestment in faculty diversity, in addition to existing campus funds.
The eight school- and college-wide searches that make up the pilot program will, in the university’s words, “cast a broad net and reach out to candidates who are contributing to enhancing diversity and inclusive environments through their research, teaching and service.”
TRUMP FIRES JEFF SESSIONS
President Donald Trump fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions and replaced him with Sessions’ chief of staff, Trump announced by tweet Wednesday.
“We are pleased to announce that Matthew G. Whitaker, Chief of Staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the Department of Justice, will become our new Acting Attorney General of the United States,” Trump tweeted. “He will serve our Country well. We thank Attorney General Jeff Sessions for his service, and wish him well! A permanent replacement will be nominated at a later date.”
Senate Report Reveals Christine Blasey Ford Had an Encounter Similar to Her Kavanaugh Claim
The man’s description of his encounter with Ford is similar to the one Ford alleged she had with Kavanaugh in three ways
A Senate Judiciary Committee report released Saturday revealed that committee investigators interviewed a man who described a sexual encounter with Christine Blasey Ford that shared similarities to the one she claimed she had with Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh.
According to the report, a man — whose name is redacted — told committee investigators in an interview on September 26, 2018, that when he was a 19-year-old college student, he had visited D.C. over spring break and kissed a girl he believes was Christine Blasey Ford. According to the report:
He said that the kiss happened in the bedroom of a house which was about a 15-to 20 minute walk from the Van Ness Metro, that Dr. Ford was wearing a swimsuit under her clothing, and that the kissing ended when a friend jumped on them as a joke. [Redacted] said that the woman initiated the kissing and that he did not force himself on her.
The man’s description of his encounter with Ford is similar to the one Ford alleged she had with Kavanaugh in three ways.
Perdue AgriBusiness Chooses Tradepoint Atlantic for New Organic Grain Facility
Will Create 25 Jobs in Eastern Baltimore County
ANNAPOLIS, MD – Perdue AgriBusiness, a division of Perdue Farms, announced today a $30 million investment to open an organic grain receiving and storage facility at Tradepoint Atlantic in eastern Baltimore County to meet the rising demand for organic feed ingredients for Perdue Foods and other companies in the region. The facility will also include grain and oilseed processing/milling and support more than 25 new jobs.
“Tradepoint Atlantic at the Port of Baltimore is ideally located to receive grain and supply organic customers throughout the Mid-Atlantic region,” said Dick Willey, president, Perdue AgriBusiness. “We work directly with local farmers and traders in the United States, Europe, South America, and Asia to source organic grain and soybeans. This new complex will be a key part of an integrated supply chain that enables us to increase business and reduce the cost while maintaining the quality of our organic products.”
“We’re on a mission to make organic chicken more accessible to more consumers, but the limiting factor is the availability of organic grain,” said Perdue Farms CEO Randy Day. “Expanding our grain operations at Tradepoint Atlantic and the Port of Baltimore will support the continued growth of our organic poultry production in the region.”
Perdue is the leading producer of USDA certified organic chicken and the PERDUE® brand is the number one brand of chicken in the U.S. Perdue AgriBusiness sources, purchases, and processes agricultural commodities and offers a diverse portfolio of products, including grains, soybean meal, feed ingredients, and edible oils.
“Perdue has called Maryland home for nearly 100 years, and our administration is excited about their latest commitment to Baltimore County and our state,” said Governor Larry Hogan. “Global companies like Perdue who continue to invest and grow in our state prove that Maryland is truly open for business.”
“Perdue’s decision to locate their new grain processing facility in the Baltimore region speaks to the continued commitment of this company to Maryland,” said Maryland Commerce Secretary Mike Gill. “Locating at Tradepoint Atlantic gives Perdue Agribusiness a strategic advantage to be close to a number of major interstates, rail lines, and our world-class Port of Baltimore, making deliveries to customers in the region fast and efficient.”
“Perdue joins FedEx, Amazon, Under Armour and Pasha Automotive in recognizing the advantages of Tradepoint Atlantic – a great Sparrows Point location next to the Port of Baltimore. Perdue’s organic grain and storage facility will feed their business, and our economic growth, through $30 million in new private investment,” said Will Anderson, director of the Baltimore County Department of Economic and Workforce Development.
Former Criminals Get Jobs, Training in Donald Trump's Go-Go Economy
Baltimore construction firms are training and hiring hundreds of ex-convicts because they cannot hire enough migrants in President Donald Trump’s “Hire American” economy.
Project Jumpstart “is a training program that prepares Baltimore residents for work in construction,” says a CNBC report:
It’s a 90-hour course designed to get workers ready for the realities of the construction job site. Classes are held twice a week and students receive a $25 stipend for each class. If they are late, however, they lose the stipend, and on the third absence they are out of the program, according to placement director Kate McShane.
McShane says 75 percent of participants have some acquaintance with the criminal justice system.
The project has placed roughly 650 graduates into jobs at more than 150 companies around Baltimore, which is still suffering from a massive crime wave that began when President Barack Obama began his anti-police campaign in 2014.
Eating In The 50's
Deceased Voters Remain Active As Cruz Jokes "Everyone Knows The Dead Vote Democrat..."
Hundreds of now deceased people have been found to be still eligible to vote in LA county with one dead man voting in multiple elections years after he died.
An investigation conducted by David Goldstein of CBS Los Angeles discovered 561 people who are now dead are registered as active voters in LA County.
A 2016 Goldstein investigation found the names of 906 dead people still registered to vote in L.A. County.
After inputting those names into the county registrar’s voter verification website to see how many are still eligible to vote in Tuesday’s election, CBSLA discovered 561 people who are dead but still registered to vote.
And it wasn’t people who just recently passed away – they died at least five years ago.
Of the dead registered voters, 336 were listed as Democrats, 173 were Republicans and 52 had another party or no party affiliation, reports the local CBS affiliate.
Records show that at least 17 of these deceased voters casted support for a candidate in 2016.
One deceased name that showed up in the records, Ralph Howey, was found to have voted in 2010, 2012 and 2014, despite having passed away in 2009 at the age of 104.

Salvini To Cut Migrant Allowance In Half, Saving €400 Million
Italy's populist interior minister, and de facto most important politician, Matteo Salvini has continued his assault on what he views as Italy's biggest problem, and is expected to drastically cut the daily allowance for migrants in Italy, claiming the country could see save up to €400 million by 2019.
According to Il Giornale, the proposal would slash by almost half the current daily allowance of €35 per day to only €19 per day, which would be one of the lowest rates in western Europe. And, according to the Interior Ministry, the cuts would lead to a saving of €400 million in 2019, rising to €500 million in 2020 and €600 million in the years thereafter, unlocking much needed budgetary savings for a country that remains l
The move would also be part of the broader migration and security decree released by Salvini in late September, which also banned residency permits for so-called humanitarian reasons. Migrants will now be classified into two groups: those with recognized asylum claims and those without according to the Italian press. Those with refugee status and recognized underage migrants will have broader access to funding and government programs.
Ocean City Police Establish Surveillance Camera Registry
OCEAN CITY, MD – Officers of the Ocean City Police Department are using surveillance footage as an investigative tool more often as both residential and commercial surveillance cameras continue to rise in popularity in the resort. To make the process of finding available surveillance cameras easier, the OCPD has established a surveillance camera registry on their website.
Surveillance camera footage has been a part of countless investigations in recent years. In 2017, video was collected over 100 times for investigative purposes. Currently, when an investigator feels that surveillance footage would be helpful to a case, the officer or detective must canvas the neighborhood to determine where cameras might be located and if they would be helpful. The registry would allow officers to easily determine where cameras are located, a detailed description of how the camera operates, and the property owners contact information.
“As the surveillance camera registry grows, it will be an invaluable tool for our officers when they are working to solve crimes,” commented Chief Ross Buzzuro. “We are hopeful that every property owner with a surveillance camera will share their information with us and that this will become a city-wide neighborhood watch, of sorts.”
To sign up, property owners should visit oceancitymd.gov/police. Citizens will find a link to the Surveillance Camera Registry form and will be asked to provide contact information, details about the camera and its retention period, areas that the camera covers, and other details. The registry will be kept confidential and only accessible to members of the OCPD.
For more information, contact the OCPD Public Affairs Office at 410-520-5395.
Mansour: Manufacturing a Smear – How the Democrat-Media Complex Turned Brett Kavanaugh into a ‘Rapist’
The day he was sworn in as an associate justice of the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh made history as the first justice to hire an all-female staff of law clerks. This was in keeping with his record of hiring more women than men and of sending more women to clerk on the Supreme Court than any other judge in the country during his 12-year tenure on the federal bench.
The women who clerked for him – including those who identify as liberals—describe him as “a lifelong mentor who feels an enduring responsibility for each of his clerks,” “an extraordinarily thoughtful man, who goes out of his way to be kind” and whose “hiring and support of women alone has helped to really diversify the range of Supreme Court clerks.”
So how did a man who is a proven ally of women, who is universally praised by female colleagues and has never had any complaints lodged against him over his decades-long career, come to be labeled a “rapist” and those who voted to confirm him to the Supreme Court as “rape enablers”?
Ignore the Political Games, the Next Crisis Hits in 2019
Today voters in the United States will decide which political party controls Congress.
From the perspective of the financial markets, it doesn’t matter.
Regardless of whether Congress is controlled by Democrats or Republicans, the bull market in stocks is OVER. Yes we might get a bit of a rally based on the market digesting tonight’s results, but THE TOP is in for stocks.
That’s actually the good news... or the less bad news, as it were. The REALLY BAD NEWS is that the US financial system might enter a crisis in 2019.
The bond market continues to blow up with yields on the ALL-IMPORTANT 10-Year US Treasury retesting their recent highs. Bear in mind, this is happening at a time when the US is planning a $1.3 TRILLION deficit next year and will be relying HEAVILY on the debt markets to fund this.
Maryland: Cops Shoot Man to Death In His Home For Resisting Gun Confiscation
Americans who oppose this lunacy need to get out and vote GOP today like their lives depend on it
Police in the Democrat haven of Maryland shot and killed a man in his home on Monday while serving a “protective order” under a new law which allows them to seize people’s guns without due process.
Since the new gun confiscation law went into effect on October 1st, police have carried out 19 such confiscation orders, which comes out to around one such seizure every other day.

Kavanaugh Report Reveals 'Mistaken Identity' Claims - Grassley Probe Concludes 'No Evidence' to Back Sexual Assault Allegations!
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) released a 414 page report on Brett Kavanaugh over the weekend and confirmed that there is no credible evidence to support the sexual assault allegations.
The Committee interviewed 45 individuals and took 25 written statements relating to the various allegations against Kavanaugh, the Senate Judiciary said.
Grassley’s probe also revealed details behind ‘mistaken identity’ claims from two other witnesses who came forward claiming they were the ones who had the encounter with Christine Ford, not Brett Kavanaugh.
Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee revealed in late September that they were talking to two men who thought they had the “encounter” with Christine Ford, not Brett Kavanaugh.
New Senate Report: Evidence Shows Michael Avenatti and Julie Swetnik Criminally Conspired to Take Kavanaugh Down With Lies
Over the weekend Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley released a 414-pagereport detailing allegations made against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation process.

NRA: Vote like Your Gun Rights Depend on It--Because They Do
The NRA is urging its six million members and other freedom-loving Americans to vote like their gun rights depend on it–because they do.
The NRA tweeted:
✔@NRA
The Second Amendment is on the ballot. If you don’t vote, you are supporting the Bloomberg/Schumer/Pelosi EXTREME gun control agenda. It is that simple. #VOTE #2A #electionday
9:51 AM - Nov 6, 2018
The NRA’s point is clear: the Second Amendment is in danger at state and federal levels if gun voters do not pour into the polls.
At the state level, Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D) has made clear that the outcome of her gun control plans could mean Georgians have to “turn their guns in.” Moreover, Abrams wants to add a three-day waiting period for gun purchases and universal background checks. She also wants to repeal campus carry, which is a law that allows concealed carry permit holders to keep their guns with them for self-defense on public college and university campuses.
On the federal level, Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) claims to be pro-gun, yet he voted against both of President Trump’s pro-Second Amendment Supreme Court nominees. Conversely, Tester voted for both of President Barack Obama’s anti-Second Amendment Supreme Court nominees.
Tester has a D rating from the NRA, whereas his challenger, Matt Rosendale (R), has an A rating.

New Senate Report Shows Not a Single Accusation Made Against Justice Kavanaugh Had Evidence
A new report released over the weekend by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley reveals that not a single allegation lobbed against Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing was backed up by evidence.
"After an extensive investigation that included the thorough review of all potentially credible evidence submitted and interviews of more than 40 individuals with information relating to the allegations, including classmates and friends of all those involved, Committee investigators found no witness who could provide any verifiable evidence to support any of the allegations brought against Justice Kavanaugh," the reportstates. "In other words, following the separate and extensive investigations by both the Committee and the FBI, there was no evidence to substantiate any of the claims of sexual assault made against Justice Kavanaugh."
The report details each witness interview conducted by congressional investigators and provides substantial evidence and statements refuting accusers.
Despite these findings and facts, Democrats have vowed to impeach Justice Kavanaugh should they ever regain control of the Senate.

The gesture is meant to show gratitude to the icon of women’s suffrage on Election Day.
After casting their ballots in the midterm elections on Tuesday, women flocked to Susan B. Anthony’s grave in Rochester, New York, to show their gratitude for her service to the women’s suffrage movement.

Democrat Stacey Abrams: People May Have to 'Turn Their Guns In'
During a November 4 appearance on CNN’s State of the Union Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams (D) admitted that a possible outcome of her gun control plans could be that “people would turn their guns in.”
She said other options might include “buybacks” and/or “grandfathering in” certain firearms, so current owners could keep them but be barred from selling them or transferring them to other individuals.
Abrams began by telling host Jake Tapper that “AR-15s are not necessary on our streets.” She then called for more gun control “semiautomatic weapons” in general. She did not mention that semiautomatic handguns like Glock, Kimber, Ruger, Walther, Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Springfield Armory, etc., are the go-to choice for concealed carry and self-defense. Rather, she simply called for new controls for firearms with semiautomatic actions.

Georgia Investigating Democrats For Allegedly Hacking Voting System
Two days before the Nov. 6 midterm elections, Georgia Secretary of State and Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp revealed on Sunday that his office is opening an investigation into the Georgia Democratic Party on allegations that it attempted to hack the state's voting system, including allegations of possible cyber crimes.
Kempe, whose office announced the investigation in a Sunday morning news release, didn't reveal any details of the probe, which comes on the heels of a court victory by Democrats, who successfully challenged the state's attempt to de-register 50,000 voters under the state's "exact match" voter ID law, according to the Daily Caller.
Klayman: Mueller Illegally Leaking Grand Jury Information
Special counsel Robert Mueller has been illegally leaking grand jury information, former federal prosecutor Larry Klayman told Newsmax TV on Monday.
"We have constant leaks of what's going on in the grand jury, and it can't just be witnesses who are coming forward, because much of it is internal," said Klayman, who is founder of Freedom Watch and one of Mueller's most vocal critics.
Klayman stressed it is a crime to release grand jury information to the public "because that's the way you can harm people who were never indicted for anything."
In 2016, Soros Boasted Of Spending $500 Million On Migrants
“I have decided to earmark $500 million for investments that specifically address the needs of migrants, refugees and host communities,” Soros wrote in The Wall Street Journal.
Democratic donor George Soros earmarked half a billion dollars in 2016 to support migrants, writing that “harnessing the power of the private sector” is critical to support the “tens of millions of people [who] are on the move, fleeing their home countries in search of a better life abroad.”
“I have decided to earmark $500 million for investments that specifically address the needs of migrants, refugees and host communities,” Soros wrote in The Wall Street Journal. “I will invest in startups, established companies, social-impact initiatives and businesses founded by migrants and refugees themselves. Although my main concern is to help migrants and refugees arriving in Europe, I will be looking for good investment ideas that will benefit migrants all over the world.”
“We will also work closely with organizations such as the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the International Rescue Committee to establish principles to guide our investments,” he added.
The New York Times reported on Oct. 31 that “Mr. Soros is being heatedly, if implausibly,cast as the financier of the immigrant caravan, a deep-state presence in the federal bureaucracy and the hidden hand behind the protests against Mr. Trump’s Supreme Court nominee.”
US Regulator Demands Companies Take Action to Halt 'Robocalls'
U.S. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai on Monday wrote the chief executives of major telephone service providers and other companies, demanding they launch a system to combat billions of "robocalls" and other nuisance calls received monthly by American consumers.
In May, Pai called on companies to adopt an industry-developed "call authentication system" or standard for the cryptographic signing of telephone calls aimed at ending the use of illegitimate spoofed numbers from the telephone system. Monday's letters seek answers by Nov. 19 on the status of those efforts.
The letters went to 13 companies including AT&T Inc., Verizon Communications Inc., T-Mobile US Inc., Alphabet Inc., Comcast Corp., Cox Communications Inc., Sprint Corp., CenturyLink Inc., Charter Communications Inc. and others.

Ron Paul Rages: Censorship & Gun Control Will Not Make Us Safe
Sadly, but not unexpectedly, the mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh is being used to justify new infringements on liberty. Of course, opponents of gun rights are claiming this shooting proves America needs more gun control. Even some who normally oppose gun control say the government needs to do more to keep guns out of the hands of the “mentally ill.” Those making this argument ignore the lack of evidence that background checks, new restrictions on the rights of those alleged to have a mental illness, or any other form of gun control would have prevented the shooter from obtaining a firearm.
Others are using the shooter’s history of posting anti-Semitic comments on social media to call for increased efforts by both government and social media websites to suppress “hate speech.” The shooter posted anti-Semitic statements on the social media site Gab. Gab, unlike Twitter and Facebook, does not block or ban users for offensive comments. After the shooting Gab was suspended by its internet service provider, and PayPal has closed the site’s account. This is an effort to make social media websites responsible for the content and even the actions of their users, turning the sites’ operators into thought police.
Some State Officials Want to Adopt Bernie-Style Health Care. Here’s What It Would Cost.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has not let up in his push for single-payer health care—and some state legislators are matching his proposal.
Earlier this year, Sanders introduced a big and comprehensive “Medicare for All” proposal that would create a government-controlled health care system at the national level. The plan has gained momentum among Senate Democrats, but has also slammed into a fiscal reality check.
Three independent estimates from a diverse range of health care economists and policy analysts have highlighted the enormous additional cost of Sanders’ proposal. The liberal Urban Institute estimated that the 10-year costs would amount to a stunning $32 trillion, while the conservative Mercatus Center at George Mason University put the cost at $32.6 trillion.
Professor Kenneth Thorpe of Emory University, a former adviser to President Bill Clinton, used a different set of assumptions and set the 10-year price tag at$24.7 trillion.
Charles Blahous of the Mercatus Center said his own $32.6 trillion estimate made generous concessions for the purposes of calculation, and he accepted Sanders’ assumptions that the proposal would also generate savings, such as massive payment reductions to doctors and other medical professionals.
Blahous added that more realistic assumptions underlying estimates of the Sanders legislation would likely push the total taxpayer price tag even higher than $32.6 trillion.

AP Auto Racing Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Chase Elliott's run as NASCAR's most popular driver hit two consecutive years when he was voted as the sport's top star.
Elliott won the award last season, the first since Dale Earnhardt Jr. retired to end his streak of 15 consecutive years as winner. Earnhardt Jr. fell one year short of the record 16 set by Hall of Famer Bill Elliott - Chase's father.
The award is based on a fan vote and sponsored by the National Motorsports Press Association. Bill Elliott won the award every year between 1984 and 2002 until he removed his name from consideration. But the honor was returned to his family last year with Chase's first victory, and the 24-year-old now seems to be a lock to reel off his own impressive run.
Fans are drawn to his workmanlike approach - like his father - and simple and unassuming attitude. Chase Elliott still lives in his Dawsonville, Georgia, hometown and hasn't let his four seasons driving at NASCAR's top level for Hendrick Motorsports change his character.
“It's more than a trophy or an award, it's about the people you see at the race track,” Elliott said. “You go to the track and it's cool to see people wearing your hats and shirts, that's what drives me. "
Elliott won three times this season and made it to the third round of the playoffs.

On: January 8, 2020

Media caption‘I didn’t escape justice, I fled injustice’
The previous Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn has mentioned the choice to flee Japan, the place he was charged with monetary misconduct, was essentially the most tough of his life.
Talking at a extremely anticipated information convention, Mr Ghosn described himself as a “hostage” within the nation with a selection between dying there or working.
He claimed prosecutors had tried to interrupt his spirit by barring any contact together with his spouse, Carole.
He fled to Lebanon on 29 December.
The previous Nissan and Renault government advised the room of full of journalists from throughout the globe, that his remedy in Japan failed to fulfill worldwide requirements of justice.
In jail, Mr Ghosn mentioned he was stored in a cell with a small window and solely allowed to bathe twice every week. He additionally claimed to have spent 130 days in a windowless cell whereas in solitary confinement.
‘Brutally taken’
Mr Ghosn mentioned he was interrogated for as much as eight hours a day with out having any attorneys current and described his “feeling of hopelessness” as “profound”.
“I used to be brutally taken from my work as I knew it, ripped from my work, my household and my associates,” he mentioned.
It’s the first time Mr Ghosn has spoken publicly since he fled home arrest in Japan. He didn’t give particulars of his dramatic escape, regardless of widespread hypothesis over how he managed to go away the nation undetected aad studies that it concerned hiding in a musical instrument case. He mentioned offering extra data would compromise individuals who had helped him.
As a substitute he expressed his “profound appreciation to have the ability to be reunited with my household and family members.”
‘Solely himself responsible’
In an announcement launched after the press convention, prosecutors in Japan mentioned: “Ghosn’s allegations fully ignore his personal conduct, and his one-sided criticism of the Japanese prison justice system is completely unacceptable,” the assertion mentioned.
Mr Ghosn “solely has himself responsible for being arrested and detained” it mentioned.
Prosecutors allege that Mr Ghosn made a multi-million-dollar cost to a Nissan distributor in Oman. Nissan, in the meantime, has filed its personal prison criticism in opposition to Mr Ghosn, accusing him of diverting cash from the corporate for his personal private enrichment.
He’s additionally accused of under-reporting his personal wage.
Mr Ghosn insists that he’s harmless of all fees made in opposition to him.
It was a bravura efficiency. Mr Ghosn is not the star of the auto business, however regardless of the fact or in any other case of the costs in opposition to him, he clearly nonetheless is aware of the best way to work a room.
He railed in opposition to the Japanese justice system, which he mentioned violated the essential ideas of humanity. He condemned the “vindictive, inglorious people” he claimed have been conspiring in opposition to him. He supplied an in depth defence to counter the claims Japanese prosecutors have filed in opposition to him, and nonetheless discovered time to tear into the best way he claims Nissan and Renault at the moment are being mismanaged.
We are able to now anticipate his arguments to be scrutinised carefully – and little question each Nissan and the Japanese authorities will reply. However he has actually seized the agenda – and mixed together with his dramatic escape, has completed so in fashion.
‘Die or get out’
Mr Ghosn’s attorneys had advised him it will be 5 years earlier than he may anticipate a judgement within the case, he mentioned.
He got here below strain to confess to the alleged crimes, he mentioned, to carry the matter to a detailed.
“‘It’s going to worsen for you when you do not simply confess,’ the prosecutor advised me repeatedly,” he mentioned on the information convention.

He mentioned the conviction charge in Japan, which is over 99%, had led him to consider he wouldn’t get a good trial.
Consequently, he claimed it was not arduous to return to the choice that he would both should “die in Japan or … get out”.
Renault’s position
Mr Ghosn believes he’s the sufferer of a plot between Nissan and the Japanese judiciary. He alleges they wished to oust him from his position on the prime of Nissan over issues about Renault’s rising affect.
In 1999, he helped mastermind a deal that noticed Renault rescue Nissan from the brink of chapter.
Now, the French carmaker has a 43% stake in its Japanese associate, whereas Nissan has a 15% stake in Renault.
“A few of my Japanese associates thought that the one option to do away with the affect of Renault on Nissan, was to do away with me,” he mentioned.
However, responding to a query from the BBC, Mr Ghosn mentioned he didn’t consider the plot went as excessive as Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe.
On Tuesday, Japanese authorities issued a warrant for the arrest of Mr Ghosn’s spouse Carole, who was accused of giving false testimony.
Mr Ghosn was arrested initially in November 2018. He was subsequently launched on bail and put below home arrest, however he was banned from seeing his spouse.
Then, within the remaining days of 2019, he skipped bail to board a non-public jet that took him to Turkey earlier than he travelled on to Lebanon, the place he’s a citizen, and the place his spouse was ready.

The Third Iteration of Storefront's Drawing Show
"Measure," 2015. Storefront for Art and Architecture. Photo by Brett Beyer.
*Exhibition and auction has been extended
August 14th, 2015 – September 19th, 2015
Opening: August 13th at 7 pm
Members’ Preview: August 13th at 6 pm
To measure, to quantify the physical and intangible dimensions of a place, is to articulate facts in order to construct values. The process of creating standards and guidelines of representation allows innovation to enter the realm of the establishment. What can be measured can be capitalized, historicized, and sold.
While architectural representation conforms to a system of standards and guidelines that allows for the production of buildings, architecture is also the practice of giving form to thought. In the process of creating edifices that house social, political, and spatial relations, architects make visible the functions of society in operational and aspirational terms. In this sense, architecture is constantly innovating new forms of measurement and representation.
The pleasure and pressure to measure and be measured has become increasingly present. Access to growing data sets and new sensing technologies is widespread, and the role of public and private domains in terms of information and space are being redefined. These contemporary conditions invite us to reflect on our ideologies and values, and the drawing is a manifestation of that which we are able to (and desire to) count, measure, and draw.
Measure is an exhibition of newly commissioned drawings by 32 international architects presenting 32 edifices of thought. Drawings are of Storefront for Art and Architecture’s gallery space on 97 Kenmare Street in New York. Architectural representation, which draws upon the diagram as a conceptual and abstract component, has historically been criticized as obscure and self referential. The proliferation of data visualization in popular media today, however, allows us to engage a much larger audience in conversations about measurement and representation. The 32 drawings presented at Storefront unveil the challenges of representation and extrapolate them onto the architect’s table and the gallery walls.
Storefront’s third iteration of the drawing show seeks to find measures, resist measurement, and measure the immeasurable by presenting drawings that range from the real to the fictional and from the functional to the symbolic. Measure positions the medium and the act of drawing as a process by which we seek coherence in data and representation, and shows that it is the making of facts that is the basis for the production of futurity beyond existing norms.

ON THE FACADE
As part of the exhibition, and on display on the facade gallery walls, Storefront has invited artists to present a series of works that use data to measure and construct new territories and architectural forms. Works range from sculptural to cartographic and from physical to digital.
Landscapes of Profit by Dan Taeyoung, Caroline Woolard, Chris Henrick, John Krauss, Ingrid Burrington
In the last decade, $23 billion of “flipped” properties have sold in New York City. Property flipping is a practice whereby a recently acquired property is resold, often for a considerable profit.
Landscapes of Profit measures the amount of money that would be generated if a 1% surcharge or “tax” were placed on sales of flipped properties, and proposes earmarking this tax for a fund for affordable space. If such a tax had been implemented from 2004 to the present, the tax would have raised an average of $23 million per year from over $23 billion in sales. Last year, it would have raised over $33 million for affordable space.
The project positions the recollection of data and its visualization as a form of activism.
Landscapes of Profit uses 2003-2015 data from the New York City Department of Finance’s ACRIS (Automated City Register Information System) and the New York City Department of City Planning’s MapPLUTO (Map of Primary Land Use Tax Lot Output). For more information, see http://landscapesofprofit.com.
Wage Islands by Ekene Ijeoma
Wage Islands expands on the narrative of New York City’s “tale of two cities” by measuring and revealing inequalities in wages/income and housing. The project is a three-dimensional map of New York’s monthly median housing costs, where the peaks and bases of housing costs are between $271 and $4001.
The base represents the entirety of New York City, and data shows that in order for a citizen to pay the average housing costs for the city overall, he or she would need to make an hourly wage of at least $77. The peaks of the map represent the areas of the city where it is possible for an individual to live on a minimum wage of $8.25 based on the average housing costs of those areas.
This project reflects the geographies of access in New York City, and seeks to reveal the inherent relationships between housing, income, and inequality.
InSeE’ by Citygram: Tae Hong Park, Evan Kent, Sean Lee, Min Joon Yoo
InSeE’, an acronym for Interactive Soundscape Environment, focuses on sonification and visualization of soundscape data captured by sensor network technology captured by the Citygram sensor network system. The project aims to create real-time, dynamic “soundmaps” to augment existing digital cartographic technologies.
In this piece, InSeE’ zooms into Storefront for Art and Architecture’s walking area (interior and exterior) to capture soundscape information–noise and spatial-acoustic energies–through immediate, short-term, and long-term dynamic mapping strategies.
The installation aims to bring awareness to spatio-temporal and non-ocular measurements through artistic media enabled by a series of sensors located in the gallery.
Citygram is an interactive environmental sensing project, that focuses on capturing, mapping, and exploring invisible environmental energies that turn spaces into places.
Throughout the gallery, a series of sensors are collecting data regarding the space and the acoustics of the area. This data is used within the various visualizations on display.
Dear Data by Giorgia Lupi + Stefanie Posavec
Dear Data is a year-long analog data drawing project by Giorgia Lupi and Stefanie Posavec, an Italian and an American who switched continents to live as expats in New York and London, respectively. Stefanie and Giorgia met only twice before beginning this project, and it became a way for them to get to know each other. Every week, they each collect and measure a particular type of personal data. They then each use this data to make a drawing on a postcard and drop it into an English “postbox” (Stefanie) or an American “mailbox” (Giorgia). Eventually, each postcard arrives at the other person’s address featuring the scuff marks of its journey over the ocean: a type of “slow data” transmission. In contrast to mechanical and impersonal gathering of data, Dear Data proposes a slow, manual, deliberately limited, and analog approach.
The artists embarked on this project to challenge the increasingly widespread assumption that “big data” is the ultimate and definitive key to unlocking, decoding, and describing people’s public and private lives.
The Dear Data project began on September 1, 2014, and runs for a year, after which Stefanie and Giorgia will each have sent 52 fragments of her personality in data to the other.
Displayed is a selection of 8 weeks of postcards in which the artists explore the relationship to our surroundings and to physical spaces through the gathering and drawing of data.
The entire collection of Dear Data postcards can be found at www.dear-data.com.
PLUS ONE by + POOL
PLUS ONE is a visualization by + POOL, an initiative to build a water-filtering floating pool in New York rivers for recreational and ecological purposes. It is an ongoing project that deals with the challenge of filtering actual river water to make it swimmable and safe for the public. The layered filtration system proposed by + POOL removes bacteria and contaminants incrementally to ensure cleaner water.
This visualization brings into a single graphic the gradient of data used in the process of designing and conceptualizing + POOL. The project incorporates scales and forms of measurement in many ways, from data regarding microscopic water pollution to assessments of the implications of improved waterways in cities worldwide.
Insight by CartoDB: Santiago Giraldo, Aurelia Moser, Andrew Hill
Insight builds on the ideas of abstraction, measurement, and insight through the use of precise community-created data maps. It uses the North Pole Azimuthal Equidistant Projection, a projection generally used in mapping and navigating the Arctic Ocean or northern-most land masses.
While it appears to be an abstraction of North and South America, the projection is geographically and mathematically accurate, as its points of distortion focus on the areas of Earth’s curvature that are farthest away from the North Pole. Greenland, for example, appears much smaller than it is typically perceived in more commonly used projections, but this representation conveys a less distorted and more proportionate view of the area.
The map design content is a collection of data visualizations and insight maps made by the CartoDB community, a cloud-based mapping, analysis, and visualization platform. The full CartoDB interactive map can be found at www.tinyurl.com/storefrontmap.
INSIGHT, THE COMPETITION.
In conjunction with “Measure,” CartoDB will host a competition for data visualizations to be displayed at the Storefront gallery during the exhibition. A monetary prize will be offered to the winning submission.

Chinese at Vatican talks accused of organ harvesting
HONG KONG (UCAN): The presence of two Chinese health officials at a February 7 and 8 Vatican summit on organ transplants that sparked sharp criticism, are now being accused of forced organ harvesting by international medical experts.
Huang Jiefu, a former vice minister of health in China, and Wang Haibo, an official responsible for the national organ transplant database, attended the summit organised by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences.
Wang Zhiyuan, a China-trained doctor and now a researcher based in the United States of America, said that both men have been heavily involved in organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience in China.
“We have a lot of evidence that they were involved in illegal organ harvesting,” Wang, who is president of the World Organisation to Investigate the Persecution of the Falun Gong and a past research scientist at Harvard Medical School, said.
Huang is a liver surgeon and the official spokesperson for the nation’s organ transplant system, which has been dogged by consistent reports that it harvests organs from death-row prisoners, religious and ethnic minorities such as the Uyghur and Tibetans, as well as Christians from unregistered Churches and primarily the Falun Gong.
Wang Zhiyuan said that during a liver transplant operation in 2005, Huang ordered two spare livers as a backup. That surgery and post-surgery observation took nearly 40 hours.
However, he explained that clinical technology requires a liver transplant to be completed within 15 hours, but if they could keep them for 40 hours, it means the organs were harvested from living people.
His claims about Huang were backed up in an editorial co-authored by Wendy Rogers, a clinical ethicist from Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, and Jacob Lavee, a respected Israeli transplant surgeon.
It was published online by the e medical journal The BMP on February 7, just as the talks began at the Vatican.
As an incumbent standing committee member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, Huang is the first top Chinese official to participate in a Vatican summit.
“It was an insult that the Vatican summit has become a tool for China to whitewash its crimes,” Wang Zhiyuan said.
In the lead up to the summit, his organisation wrote to Pope Francis urging him not to allow Chinese representatives to participate in the summit.
Enver Tohti, an ethnic Uyghur who fled to England after he participated in organ harvesting as a surgeon in the west of China during the 1990s, was one of the signaotires of another letter from 10 medical ethicists and professionals opposing Huang’s attendance.
“Organ harvesting is now so rampant in China that they can provide a kidney in four hours. This is ethically unexplainable,” Enver Tohti noted.
He said that the summit has given China an opportunity to avoid charges of organ harvesting and that the summit is tainted by money and vested interests.
Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, the chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, defended China’s participation.
“Are they doing any illegal transplantation of organs in China? We can’t say. But we want to strengthen the movement for change,” the bishop was quoted as saying.

Thompson Returns With 39, Warriors Bounce Back, Beat Nuggets (Pics, Vid)
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — The Golden State Warriors hardly expect to fix every flaw in one night.Beating Denver in dominant fashion certainly provided a positive first step. The two-time defending champions showed some of that swagger again.“Pride,” coach Steve Kerr said.Klay Thompson returned from a two-game absence to score 39 points with nine 3-pointers, and the Warriors bounced back from their worst loss of the season to beat the Nuggets 122-105 on Friday night in a matchup of the top two teams in the Western Conference.Thompson sat out that embarrassing 128-95 home defeat Tuesday night to the Celtics, the worst at Oracle Arena in Kerr’s five seasons, because of soreness in his right knee. He then scored 27 points in the first half Friday and wound up 9 of 11 from deep.Having him back meant a lot, and everybody else brought their best, too.Kevin Durant added 26 points and six assists, and Stephen Curry scored 17 points. DeMarcus Cousins had a strong outing on both ends with 13 points, six rebounds, six assists, six blocked shots and three steals.Dubs brought the energy tonight.Relive the win with the Game Rewind, presented by @Verizon ⏪ pic.twitter.com/UEkGX0h4SB— Golden State Warriors (@warriors) March 9, 2019Golden State played with a purpose again, an edge that hadn’t been seen much the past month.With the Warriors on a two-game home losing streak, they didn’t let Denver get into the game for any significant stretch — much like a 142-111 road win against the Nuggets in January.“Our guys have responded for the last five years to bad losses, to lulls, so it didn’t surprise me at all that we came out with energy and passion and got off to that great start,” Kerr said.Denver Nuggets’ Will Barton, left, guards Golden State Warriors’ Kevin Durant during the first half of an NBA basketball game Friday, March 8, 2019, in Oakland, Calif. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)Malik Beasley scored 17 points off the bench for cold-shooting Denver, which lost for the fourth time in five games following a five-game winning streak.After Golden State’s worst loss of the season overall to Boston and fifth at Oracle by 20 or more points, the Warriors quickly got back to work and players spoke up as they spent the next day at film study and practice re-establishing their goals: Do the little things better. Defend. Hustle. Secure home court for the playoffs.Draymond Green acknowledged the team wasn’t competing.Kerr said his team needed to play angry.Curry called for action on the court, enough talking about doing it.Durant challenged everyone, from the coaches on down, to improve.The collective effort was clear from the opening tip.“The last couple days of practice was great for us,” Green said. “You could just kind of sense that everybody was locked in, and there’s still a lot of things we can correct. … It was good to kind of feel that energy and focus level from the start of the game.”Nikola Jokic had 16 points for the Nuggets, who beat the Lakers in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.On Friday, Denver’s starters didn’t get it done, with the Nuggets’ bench outscoring Golden State’s reserves 58-23.“They’re a better team than we are. If it wasn’t for our bench we would have gotten completely blown out,” coach Michael Malone said. “Our bench at least kept it respectable.”Golden State started 8 of 15 with seven assists and eight rebounds to go ahead 20-6 and force a second Denver timeout at the 6:18 mark of the first. The Warriors led 67-50 at the break.“We’re not going to just flip it all around in one night, but this was a great start to getting back on track and playing like ourselves,” Kerr said.Denver Nuggets’ Torrey Craig, right, shoots against Golden State Warriors’ Kevin Durant during the first half of an NBA basketball game Friday, March 8, 2019, in Oakland, Calif. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)TIP-INSNuggets: The Nuggets outrebounded the Warriors 45-44 but shot just 33 for 87. … Trey Lyles missed his eighth straight game with a strained left hamstring. … Denver returns to Oracle Arena on April 2 after the teams split their two meetings in the Mile High City.Warriors: Thompson notched his 11th 30-point performance with his eighth 20-point half this season. … Green moved past former Warriors player, coach and GM and current team ambassador Al Attles (2,483) for eighth place on the franchise career assists list. … Shaun Livingston was back after missing Tuesday’s loss with neck spasms, while C Kevon Looney returned after being sidelined two games with right pelvic soreness.STEPH’S PROMISECurry and Under Armour teamed to fulfill their promise to Riley Morrison, the 9-year-old Napa girl who wrote a letter to the two-time MVP in November asking why his signature Curry 5 shoes weren’t offered for girls. Curry apologized and vowed to send her two pairs, including the new Curry 6 model.Curry announced the ICON Curry 6 “United We Win” edition that features a personal design touch from Riley in the sock liner.The girl was doing an interview Friday on CBS about the shoes and Curry when he walked in. He gave her a pair of the new shoes and rebounded for her while she shot baskets.Morrison was Curry’s guest for the game on International Women’s Day.Meanwhile, Durant wore bright pink sneakers in the spirit of the day.By: Janie McCauley, AP Sports WriterTweetPinShare0 Shares read more

Virat Kohli getting bigger, better and more powerful: Chris Gayle
Virat Kohli is getting bigger, and better. Period. This is how Chris Gayle likes to sum up the Indian skipper’s unmatched clout in world cricket right now.As Kohli was hammering England bowlers on Day 2 of the Edgbaston Test, the big Jamaican, on a short trip to India, wrapped up a shoot in Mumbai and switched on the TV in time to watch the highlights of his former RCB teammate’s 22nd Test century, the first in England.”Wow, that was a great knock by Virat – a captain’s innings, a fantastic one,” gushes Gayle in a chat with India Today.”Look at the way Indian team was positioned at that moment in the match. The way he handled the situation with the tail-enders was fantastic. That goes on to show a lot of experience there and also the determination. You could see him talking to the non-striker, urging the tail-ender to just stay on with him in an effort to take it down as close as possible (to the England first innings total). You get a chance, you make the best use of it, that’s what he did. No wonder he is the No. 1 ranked batter in the world right now.”The accolades don’t stop there, just like the ultimate run-machine Kohli.”Virat is absolutely phenomenal. 22 Test centuries plus 35 in ODIs. And, at the same time, he keeps on growing as a captain. He is getting bigger and better, more powerful as well. Be it his training, technique, his ability to batting in trying circumstances, he is always able to produce the goods. Like I said, all I can say to him is continue. I wish him success and that he just keeps growing strength to strength,” says the swashbuckling left-hander.advertisement India vs England 1st Test: Virat Kohli smashed 149 vs England at EdgbastonGayle’s opening partner at Kings XI Punjab is a certain KL Rahul. The West Indian, his eyes wide open, stood in awe at the non-striker end as Rahul smashed a 14-ball 50, the fastest in tournament’s history, a few months ago. He may not have had a good start to the Test series in England but Gayle will always put him right behind Virat.”I am a huge fan of KL Rahul and always tell people that after Virat Kohli, Rahul will be the man. It is only up to him to not excel and get as close or as far as Virat. He is so talented, a superb player and I love to watch him bat. He is a sweet timer of the ball, has shots all around. KL Rahul, soon to be the man!”Only last week, while playing against Bangladesh in the final ODI at St. Kitts, Gayle equalled Shahid Afridi’s long-standing record of hitting the maximum number of sixes in international cricket. While Afridi hit 476 sixes in 524 matches, Gayle has reached the mark in just 443 games. MS Dhoni (342 sixes from 504 matches) is at No. 5 in that list while Rohit Sharma (291 sixes from 292 games) is currently at the seventh spot.”Oh, you guys are way behind, a lot…Come on, come on, catch us up,” he says jokingly. “But seriously to be able to tie with Afridi, the legendary boom-boom, with 476 sixes is great. I think I will keep it at that and hit no more sixes. I think we are both big six-hitters, entertainers and it is fantastic to be joint first with Shahid Afridi. So boom-boom, don’t worry, your record is safe, okay!”The record will in all probability be broken when West Indies tour India later this year. Gayle is optimistic of getting selected and even playing the next year’s World Cup.”I will be back in India, if selected. I am really looking forward to it, always a pleasure to play cricket in India. We know each other well so it is always a great tournament and lots of entertainment. Also I am happy with lots of discussion happening between players and board (WICB) in the past few weeks. Every player now has an understanding and I am sure they have put it forward to players to make themselves available and see what happens.Maybe by the time World Cup happens, we can get the best squad out there.”The news of former cricketer, Imran Khan, becoming the next Prime Minister of Pakistan brought a smile on Gayle’s face.”Someone just told me earlier as I haven’t been following the news. It is good to see a cricketer in that category. Being a Prime Minister is a lot of hope for the cricketers to come.”advertisementSo ‘Universe Boss’, as Gayle likes to call himself, fancy his chances as Jamaican PM one day?”(Laughs) Not me, for sure. But it certainly paves way for Shahid Afridi to be the next PM!” read more

The Evolving Situation in Qatar
Flag of Qatar
This is an extension of reporting on the changing situation in the Middle East as it pertains to Qatar from this blog. (previous link)
Watching cause and effect is always interesting and in this instance, friends of mine are involved in the fray. That means my reporting on this blog must be somewhat circumspect, however we stick to open source reporting here at Virtual Mirage.
Elections have consequences. The Middle East is in a bi-polar struggle as it has been since the death of the prophet, Mohammed. The Shiites in Iran/Persia who are not Arabs are at odds with the Sunni who are Arabs in Saudi Arabia. Control of that black meteorite in Mecca has moved trillions of dollars over the centuries. The US move to support the Arabs (after Obama supported Iran) and demands to stop the flow of money to terrorism is causing some stress. However, dear readers, President Trump's initiative is meeting noteworthy success - which you will not see reported in the corrupt, elite, lying, smug mainstream media.
An Attempt at Intervention
Kuwait's Emir, Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah, arrived home after a short visit to Saudi Arabia on 6 June to try to mediate the schism in the Sunni Arab monarchies. In Riyadh, he spoke with Saudi King Salman bin Abdul Aziz about ways to defuse the crisis with Qatar.
Open sources contain no details of the discussions. Sheikh Sabah urged all parties to refrain from actions to escalate the situation.
Qatari Sheikh Tamim announced that Qatar will not retaliate against Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf monarchs and postponed an address to the nation on 5 June in order to give Sheikh Sabah‘s intervention a chance to succeed. The Qatari foreign ministry blamed the isolation campaign on the US. - Of course. The blame Trump/blame Bush/blame the US game is old and worn out but it's playing on Al Jazeera (Qatari media network).
During a crisis in 2014 involving Qatar and the same complaints, Kuwaiti mediation succeeded in easing tension. The Saudis will make strong demands on Sheikh Tamim for readmission to the Arab royal fraternity. "Strong demands mean money" - and understanding the geopolitical situation always means that you follow the money.
Jordan has decided to reduce the level of diplomatic representation with Qatar and to abolish Al Jazeera's office license. Jordan is seeking to achieve regional security and stability, to show unity with Arab countries and protect the country. The government hopes to resolve the crisis between Qatar and its Gulf neighbors and to ensure the cooperation of all Arab countries.
As an Arab monarch, King Abdullah is almost required to stand with the other Arab monarchs against Qatar, but Jordan has no need to lead the dispute. Nevertheless, Qatar’s free-wheeling meddling and spending to support Islamic extremist groups have imposed or contributed to heavy security costs on Jordan. Jordan needs to be included in a settlement.
Mauritania announced on 6 June that it cut diplomatic ties with Qatar. It is the ninth Arab or Islamic country to sever diplomatic relations.

P.K. Subban and the Montreal Canadiens continued contract negotiations on Thursday. TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun tweeted that the expectation was that Subbans agent Don Meehan and Newport Sports would be meeting with the Canadiens on Thursday. Later in the day, Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin confirmed the two sides met to discuss a contract extension for the restricted free agent. Subban scored 10 goals and added 43 assists in 82 games with the Canadiens this season. He added five goals and 14 points in 17 playoff games as the team advanced to the Eastern Conference Final. The Canadiens re-signed Subban to a two-year deal worth an average annual value of $2.875 million contract prior to the shortened 2013 season. Subban was awarded the 2013 Norris Trophy as the NHLs top defenceman after notching 11 goals and 27 assists in 42 games. Drafted in the second round (43rd overall) of the 2007 Draft, Subban has tallied 42 goals and 167 assists in 284 career games, all with the Canadiens. Cheap Shoes UK 2020 .Y. -- Nothing seems to phase No. Shoes UK From China . Saskatchewans Darian Durant is expected to miss the rest of the Roughriders season with a torn tendon in his right elbow. The 32-year-old, who will undergo surgery in the next couple days to repair the injury, was added to the teams six-game injury list Tuesday. https://www.shoesukonline.com/ . On Tuesday, the star questioned whether that was still the case. Speaking to reporters at a charity event, Johnson said: "I just kind of wonder sometimes: Is this still the place for me?" Johnsons comments came after he was asked why he recently skipped a voluntary minicamp. Fake Shoes UK . Inter moved five points behind fourth-place Fiorentina and eight points behind third-place Napoli, which visits relegation-threatened Sassuolo on Sunday. Shoes UK Online Store . Its a blessing and a burden for nine sons of former NHL players who are all expected to be taken in the first four rounds of the draft this weekend.Brandon Browner is telling his New England teammates not to hold back against Seattles Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas.In an interview with ESPN, Browner talked about the toughness both Sherman and Thomas showed in the NFC championship game playing with injuries. Sherman suffered a sprained elbow, while Thomas suffered a separated shoulder.But Browner said he would also target those injuries.Im going to tell my teammates go hit that elbow, or go hit that shoulder, Browner said in the interview.Asked if he would tell his teammates that, Browner said, Most definitely.Try and break it if you can. Youre going to be my best friend after the game, but at the end of the day I know you want the Super Bowl as bad as I do, Browner said.Asked about Browners comments, Seattle players didnt seem to take offence.I would expect nothing less. This is the Super Bowl. What do you expect? Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin said. I understand the fans want it to be classy, said publicly, and everything to be said politically correct, but that is the truth of the matter. We want this game just as much as they do and they want this game just as much as we do. I expect nothing less from Brandon Browner. We go after them in an aggressive fashion just as much as they are going to go after us.BELICHICK DEFLECTS PRAISE: Bill Belichick wouldnt answer any more questions about deflated footballs, but he was in a joking mood by the end of his 15-minute news conference.After former NFL tight end Johnny Mitchell, who now works for ESPN Brazil, softened the coach with endearing praise before asking him how hed like to be remembered, Belichick replied: If we have an opening on our staff, if youd like it, well put you out in front there.The dour Belichick even cracked a big smile and everyone laughed out loud.I appreciate the compliments, but again, its really not about that right now for me, he said, regarding his legacy. What its about for me is this week and our matchup with the Seattle Seahawks.What did or didnt happen in any of other five, six Super Bowls I coached, five Super Bowls as a head coach, three that I was involved in as an assistant, this now being the ninth one, this is thhe one that is really important.ddddddddddddLIGHTING THE WAY: In a season during which the NFL has seen more controversy than it could ever anticipate, it would not surprise anyone if the Super Bowl were decided by a replay challenge being upheld or overturned.So the NFL is making sure it has the best possible technology for those replays.This season, University of Phoenix Stadium became the first NFL venue illuminated with high output LED Lighting. Not only does such lighting dramatically reduce energy usage by more than 75 per cent, but the Ephesus LED system provides much more light evenly distributed throughout the playing surface than ever before.For the Super Bowl, Ephesus Lighting engineers expect to provide nearly 20 per cent more light than ever for an NFL game.The way we are lighting the field for Super Bowl 49 will allow NBC cameras to get more clarity and a greater depth of focus, said Joe Casper, founder of Ephesus Lighting.As a result they will be able to zoom in tighter on replays and super slow motion without the flicker-effect or blurriness that is often associated with zooming in. This should help replay officials have the best possible pictures to make the right call.When we went into the sports LED lighting business we wanted to focus on three attributes, Casper added. We wanted to improve player performance, give the fans at home and at the game a better experience, and reduce energy usage. The ability to help referees make the right call is an added benefit that may help change the outcome of a game for the better one day.NEW HATS: The first thing Seahawks and Patriots players received as gifts when they reached Phoenix were new hats.As they got off their charters at Sky Harbor Airport, they were handed special New Era hats that feature reflective material both on the top of the caps visor and the under-brim. When exposed to a camera flash, even from a phone, it emboldens the Super Bowl logo and the date and location of the game.Even Patriots owner Robert Kraft readily accepted one, and tight end Rob Gronkowski reached back to get an extra souvenir.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '

Been there; heard that EDITORIAL 10/29/2010
Been there; heard that
The last time a Palace occupant felt irritated by a “small” newspaper that she claimed she never read and swore for her administration not to subscribe to it, even when she and her Cabinet reacted vehemently to its reports, and read it anyway, top-level pressure started to be applied on this newspaper in an attempt to choke it of its primary source of income, advertisements.
Failing to do that, the pressure was gradually raised in intensity until in 2006, Malacañang tried to forcefully take over the operations of The Tribune, padlocked the printing press, confiscated several documents without any search warrant through an illegal raid by her police forces.
So here we go again. The other day, Noynoy Aquino ranted in Vietnam that a small newspaper with very “minimal readers” had upset him since it printed a warning from a prelate that he may not complete his six-year term as a result of his poor management skills and his reliance on a two-man team in the Palace in the crafting of major policies and decisions.
While not mentioning the name of the paper he was referring to, he described it as a “Manila-based newspaper of minor circulation, minor only because it only has few readers,” it was evident that he meant this paper since it was only The Tribune, that carried in its front page a story quoting Marbel Bishop Dinualdo Gutierrez on his assessment of Aquino’s leadership skills on the day Noynoy went nuts in Vietnam.....

Bordering on paranoia FRONTLINE Ninez Cacho-Olivares 10/29/2010
Bordering on paranoia
Whoever opposes him and criticizes him, Noynoy sees as his enemy.
Thus, the Daily Tribune, whom he called a “small newspaper” and small because it has few readers, that criticizes him constantly, and which he said before the Filipino community in Vietnam, benefited from the past administration and therefore out to destroy him, is his enemy.
That’s really very paranoid of him, apart from which, Noynoy should really be told a few home truths.
One: The Tribune certainly did not benefit anything at all from the past and previous administrations, as it has always been critical of the Malacañang tenant — whoever it is sitting as head of government--including Cory Aquino.
Proof of this is the fact that not only did the previous Palace occupants make life economically hard on the Tribune all these years, but also the fact that the Arroyo administration went to the extent of raiding the Tribune offices, and having her police force padlock the paper’s offices and printing press, with even the chief of the police force going on live TV to announce that it was taking over the newspaper.....

2010 rout may not augur ill for Obama in 2012
WASHINGTON — Barack Obama’s foes will rejoice if his Democrats get thumped in mid-term congressional elections, but even if his presidency needs a rethink, it may be premature to prepare his political obituary for 2012.
Obama is facing a rebuke from voters on Nov. 2, only two years after they swept him to power, with Republicans tipped to grab back the House of Representatives and thin Democratic margins in the Senate.
Pundits are asking why Obama has lost the magic of 2008, and whether he will suffer the ignominy of going down as a one-term president.
“The weeks and months following the election will be a time of testing for President Obama,” said William Galston, a former Clinton administration official now at the Brookings Institution.
“He will need to look into himself and at the situation.”
If Republicans do emerge triumphant next Tuesday, confrontation will be a certainty as the parties feud over taxes and the deficit in a divided Washington and as the already-stirring 2012 presidential race heats up..... MORE

We flew in Tuesday night. Wednesday morning saw me reporting for how-are-yous with the tulisanes of the 365 Club at the coffee shop of Hotel Intercon. A quick trip to the parlor, a catnap in between, and then this lola was off to a cocktail party at the Makati Shangri-La, upon the invitation of Vice President Jojo Binay, chairman of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council, for National Housing Day.
The affair was for the diplomatic corps, for them to see where the government’s efforts to provide decent public housing stood. Among those mingling with the diplomats were Sen. Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Ompong Plaza, JV Bautista, Rene Diaz, big names in real estate, the Binay family of children and grandchildren, including the Makati City mayor, the second district representarive and a talented boy who played his instrument with such musicality and grace, prodding his grandma Doc Ellen to proudly turn to me, with “Sige na nga, ibibili ko na siya ng marimba!”
It’s good to go home to a major event. You see familiar faces, hear so many solicitous inquiries, receive quite a number of warm hugs. Except that with all eyes and ears on the Vice President as he delivered his speech on the rostrum that evening, I could not give out a complete answer to, “Nagpa-check up ka raw sa Amerika? Ano’ng resulta?”
But, yes, to all who care enough to know, I saw my doctors in the US. Nothing wrong with me in a major, major way, save for the unavoidable body changes that come with years. True, I could have had the tests done here, pero ‘yun na nga, you get older, you also get more impatient faster. You have expectations, you make demands, and when few of these are met, local providers tend to dismiss you like it’s your fault, as if what is wrong with you is only.... MORE
Ten minutes vs power plunder DIE HARD III Herman Tiu Laurel 10/29/2010
Ten minutes vs power plunder
Our last column outlined the “power plunder” being inflicted on the people by the collusion between Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) and the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), as well as by the Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corp. and the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines, with Therma Marine Inc. of the Aboitiz group.
All told, their profits increased between 60 and 100 percent in the span of just one year, and they were able to manipulate the rate-setting mechanisms to escalate the cost of our energy use by up to 300 percent!
A few days after the said column came out, yet another confirmation of this profiteering was headlined by BusinessWorld: “Meralco powers past Petron in BW’s Top 1,000.”
Meralco came up with a “red herring” to mitigate any adverse reaction to the No. 1 ranking by saying that this came despite “a 2.8-percent drop in gross revenues to P183.7 billion due to reduced generation and transmission charges last year.”
In truth, generation and transmission charges had nothing to do with Meralco’s net income jumping midway this year by 82.3 percent (from P3.15 billion from the same period last year to P5.8 billion so far), as well as with the company’s 2009 P7.7 billion net income surpassing its target of P11 billion for 2010. In fact, Meralco had been raking in this doubling of profits since 2008 when its net income jumped from P3.5 billion to P7.7 billion in 2009.
All through these periods, there was not any real increase in the size and volume of the market. Meralco has taken great pains to hide this with its so-called statistics of 11 to 17 percent growth in the volume of its sales.
What has actually happened was that the massive increases came as a result of the shift from the old Return-on-Rate Base (RoRB) to the new Performance-Based Rate (PBR) setting mechanism that increased allowable returns from the previous 12 percent to the current 15.8 percent!
On top of this, we are faced with the massive overcharging of electricity consumers. The Commission on Audit has already found that Meralco overcharged us by at least P7 billion in 2004 and 2007 alone, which indicates the strong likelihood that the same has happened for the intervening years and beyond.
In fact, an 81-year-old veteran of the Lawyers Against Monopolies (LAMP), Genaro Lualhati, who has fought against this overcharging and won for us 4 million Meralco consumers P28 billion in refunds, filed another petition in 2008 for the power firm to refund another P35 billion worth of overcharges in the past 10 years.
But even as the ERC is obliged by law to resolve the issue within 30 days, it took the regulatory body three long years to issue a decision, and only after Lualhati pressed further. It was revealed in our GNN program by Mang Naro, as Lualhati is called, that the ERC deliberately dilly-dallied and dwelt on irrelevant issues, only to declare his petition “moot and academic.”
Not be deterred, Mang Naro’s one demand is for the other crusaders in this fight to be active again. With Mang Naro on my show was Butch Junia, who came out of retirement for this fight, as well as Pete Ilagan of Nasecore, former QC Mayor Jun Simon, Jojo Borja of Mindanao and many others.
Volunteer lawyers have since been recruited to take all these issues to court so that someday we may finally see ERC pay for its betrayal of public trust.
Butch Junia updated us on the comparative electricity rates of different countries, such as Tokyo’s $0.20/kWh compared to Meralco’s $0.23/kWh, making the Philippines the highest in Asia in terms of power cost today.
Our rates are simply astronomical compared to Jakarta’s $0.06/kWh; Kuala Lumpur’s $0.06/kWh; Paris’ $0.11/kWh; Shanghai’s $0.07/kWh; and even Singapore’s $0.21/kWh.
Few places, in fact, can beat Meralco’s rate; with the only possible exception being New York’s $0.29/kWh — but then, how can you compare the two?
Worse, the situation of Meralco’s 4 million electricity consumers is further aggravated by the formula where regular consumers pay up to P3/kWh in distribution cost while the very large consumers, such as malls and big industries, pay only as low as P0.28/kWh.
As the public is made aware of these facts, the momentum for the consumer campaign is sure to grow.
Action plans have been drawn up, with a “soft launch” on Nov. 1 of the “lights out protest.” The plan calls on all Meralco consumers to turn off their lights from 7 to 7:10 p.m. every Monday.
As people are made aware, then the number of “lights out” days will be increased, helping consumers save money while at the same time synergizing neighborhoods toward the cause. This action has been done before but this new initiative shows the growing support for the struggle. All sectors should thus “volt-in” for a nuclear chain reaction.
Media workers can help in the information campaign; even the UP Law Department can help while businessmen can donate stickers, tarps, and posters to spread the word.
Remember: Lights out every Monday 7 to 7:10 p.m. Let’s knock the lights out of those power plunderers!

South Africa in race against toxic mine water threat
WESTONARIA — For years Neels Van Wyk suspected something was wrong with the water on his farm, worries that grew as mining and government officials started frequenting the area to test nearby rivers.
Van Wyk, 48, lives in Westonaria on the southwestern outskirts of Johannesburg, surrounded by four major mines which over the last 120 years extracted gold and uranium.
Most of the mines closed down 11 years ago, when pumping of underground water reserves also stopped.
Now researchers worry that toxic mine water is rising toward the surface and seeping into nearby water supplies, contaminating rivers with a cocktail of acidic and sometimes radioactive waste.
“My concern is that I use borehole water which could be contaminated. I sell peaches and vegetables to the hawkers and they sell it to the community. What if the vegetables are contaminated and we don’t know that,” Van Wyk said.
Activists fear rising water levels in the mines have created an underground time bomb that could threaten the country’s nearby financial capital Johannesburg in 16 months.... MORE

Hispanic vote important for Democrats, but harder to get
WASHINGTON — Democrats are courting Hispanic voters to blunt a likely Republican advance in US legislative elections Tuesday, but they may prove hard to get after three years of hard economic times.
“The Latino community, like the rest of the country, has gone through a very difficult two years. And so it’s understandable that people feel frustrated,” President Barack Obama said last week in an interview with Hispanic news organizations.
“Now, if I’m the Latino community, the notion that somehow I would sit back and not participate and not have my voice heard (...) that makes no sense whatsoever,” Obama said.
Two years ago, Obama won the presidency thanks in part to a record turnout by 9.7 million Hispanics, casting 7.4 percent of the ballots nationwide. Obama got 67 percent of their votes.
And as this campaign goes into its last frenetic week, the Democratic Party spent a million dollars to air nationally a spot featuring Obama speaking Spanish in its latest attempt to get out the vote.... MORE

Dinky faces Gloria grilling in House bonds probe
By Gerry Baldo and Angie M. Rosales 10/29/2010
The woes of Social Welfare Secretary Corazon “Dinky” Soliman are far from over, and she still hasn’t faced the bicameral Commission on Appointments for her confirmation, as some members of the House of Representatives are bent on probing her for her role in the P10-billion PEACe Bonds scam.
Soliman is also expected to get a beating again from former President Arroyo when the House starts its own probe on the Poverty Eradication and Alleviation Certificate (PEACe) bonds which earned a windfall P1.4-billion for a non-government organization then headed by Soliman.
At the same time, a former Senate President, Aquilino “Nene” Pimentel, yesterday pointed out that the Department of Social Welfare and Development, under the law, should have ceased from existing several years ago and its functions, already should have been turned over by this time to local government units.
And as the DSWD is an “illegal” entity, it should not therefore be tasked with a P21 billion fund for the government’s conditional cash transfer program..... MORE

NBI files criminal raps vs Bar bomber suspect
A day after the suspected Bar examinations bomber, Anthony Nepomuceno, voluntarily agreed to be interrogated by the National Bureau of Investigation agents, the NBI yesterday filed a criminal complaint for multiple frustrated and multiple attempted murders against him before the Department of Justice.
Nepomuceno, a member of the Alpha Phi Omega fraternity and a call center agent Wednesday appeared before the NBI and denied allegations he was involved in the blast at De La Salle University, insisting that he was nowhere in that area on Taft Avenue when the bombing occurred.
He claimed he was nowhere near La Salle when the incident happened, although the NBI said the suspect was positively identified by witnesses as the person who lobbed the grenade.
The bombing incident injured 47 individuals, including law students and Bar examinees themselves.
NBI spokesman Cecilio Zamora said the NBI also charged some “John Does” who are now the subject of extensive investigation to establish their identities..... MORE

Enrile takes rap for fat pays of Senate execs
Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile assumed responsibility for the grant of huge allowances to some upper chamber executives, ranging from P30,000 to as high as P200,000 a month, which was recently questioned as being excessive, saying that those who got these deserve what they’ve received.
“I take full responsibility,” Enrile said in addressing the Senate employees during a gathering in relation to the celebration of the upper chamber’s 94th anniversary.
But former Senate President Aquilino Pimentel Jr., who was a guest in the weekly Kapihan sa Senado news forum, said the upper chamber should not spare even its own employees believed to be similarly situated with executives from government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs) by subjecting them into an investigation as well.
“If we, as an institution, criticize other agencies of government for excessive allowances, I think we should also take a look at ourselves accordingly,” Pimentel told reporters.
Several executives of state firms and financial institutions were found to be receiving huge salaries and excessive allowances in a recent series on inquiries conducted by the Senate finance committee prompting President Aquino to order the suspension of their allowances at least until the end of the year.....

Truth body to hamper delivery of justice — Pimentel
The matter of the Philippine Truth Commission (PTC) delivering justice and finally providing closure to the alleged irregularities committed under the Arroyo administration was put into question again yesterday.
“I think that the Truth Commission is an abnormality that should never have been created. Why? Because the tendency of the commission is merely to delay the administration of justice. There are existing agencies of government which have the jurisdiction already to look into accusations against anyone. There’s the DoJ (Department of Justice), (Office of the) Ombudsman. Now, what is the effect of the EO (creating the Truth Commission)? You remove that jurisdiction and give that to a toothless tiger,” former Sen. Aquilino Pimentel Jr. said yesterday.
Pimentel’s comments came in the light of the series of petitions being filed before the Supreme Court challenging the validity of the issuances made by President Aquino.
The constitutionality of EO 1 has been questioned by the minority bloc in the House of Representatives.
The former senator, appearing as guest in the weekly Kapihan sa Senado, expressed serious doubts on the effectiveness of the commission in conducting investigations as the body does not even have the power to issue a subpoena to those individuals subject of an investigation..... MORE

Webb seeks acquittal due to missing DNA sample
Convicted rapist Hubert Webb’s lawyer has asked the Supreme Court (SC) to order his acquittal citing government investigators’ failure to keep the semen specimen for DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) forensic analysis.
In a motion, the son of former Sen. Freddie Webb urged the SC to reverse his conviction in the Vizconde massacre case citing the failure of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to produce the semen specimen taken from the body of one of his victims for DNA analysis.
Defense lawyer Demetrio Custodio Jr. stressed that the semen specimen extracted from the remains of Carmela Vizconde during her autopsy on June 30, 1991 “plays a significant role” in his client’s defense.
“Even if the NBI’s failure to produce the semen specimen were not due to willful suppression but by negligence, the failure to deliver this evidence to appellant Webb for DNA testing denies him a complete defense and violates his right to due process,” Custodio said. “For this reason, he is entitled to an acquittal,” he added.
Custodio noted that a DNA analysis of the semen specimen excluding appellant Webb as the source of that specimen would disprove the prosecution’s evidence against him..... MORE

DoJ to wait out ex-Lacson aide’s appeal in extradition case
Justice Secretary Leila de Lima yesterday confirmed that a United States court has granted the Philippine government’s request for the extradition of former police Senior Supt. Michael Ray Aquino, a key aide of fugitive Sen. Panfilo Lacson.
“Once the ruling becomes final, the DoJ (Department of Justice) shall work on his (Aquino) deportation to face the criminal charges against him here,” she said.
De Lima explained that she “was told that this latest ruling is still appealable to a higher court. So if Michael Ray Aquino avails of that remedy, we will have to wait for that ruling.”
The US court granted the request of the Philippine government to extradite Aquino to face the trial in the November 2000 killing of publicist Salvador “Bubby” Dacer and his driver Emmanuel Corbito.
Aquino and another police official, former Senior Supt. Cezar Mancao, fled to the US reportedly upon the instructions of Lacson to escape prosecution. Lacson has been in hiding since January this year after being implicated in the murders..... MORE

DFA drops RP acronym, now PHL in usage
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and its foreign diplomatic posts began using the initials PH or PHL when referring to the Philippines, and not anymore “RP,” an acronym for the Republic of the Philippines, in compliance with the country codes set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
Moreover, the DFA said the use of the designated country codes would “avoid the ambiguity and confusion with the use of the initials RP.”
“The long standing usage of the initials RP is not in accordance with ISO codes, leading to ambiguous initials that can also refer to other countries,” the DFA noted.
In a Department Order dated Oct. 20, Foreign Affairs Secretary Alberto Romulo directed the DFA’s 67 embassies, 23 consulates general and four permanent missions to use the initials PH or PHL in their dispatches and reports to the Home Office.

Dangerous constitutional times EDITORIAL 03/09/2011
Dangerous constitutional times
These are constitutionally dangerous times for the nation, what with a president who has absolutely no respect for the separation of powers principle, as enshrined in the Philippine Constitution.
Noynoy Aquino had directly called on his allies in Congress, majority of whom are Liberal Party (LP) members, to impeach the Ombudsman, Merceditas Gutierrez, and they all agreed to do so.
Such a move brings on a dangerous situation that goes beyond Noynoy’s call to his allies in the House of Representatives to impeach a constitutional officer he personally dislikes, and wants thrown out.
The reason is simple: It works both ways. Noynoy is himself an impeachable official and calling on his LP allies in the House to impeach the Ombudsman and with these same allies agreeing to do so on Noynoy’s marching orders, also means that he can call on these same allies too, to reject any and all impeachment complaints that would be lodged against him or a close buddy.....

Correcting the past or repeating it?
With Noynoy’s open marching orders to his Liberal Party mates in the House of Representatives to impeach Merceditas “Merci” Gutierrez, LP senators were quick to claim they had no such marching orders from Noynoy by way of handling Merci’s impeachment in the Senate and stressed that they were not present during that luncheon meeting with the LP allies in Malacañang.
Maybe so, since this order to prosecute Merci was mainly for the House to do — at that stage of the impeachment game.
Noynoy did get what he wanted from his LP allies. The House justice committee, as predicted, voted overwhelmingly to find probable cause in the two impeachment complaints, which must have pleased the Malacañang tenant and his sycophants in the House no end, as his orders were heeded. But the question is, will the LP senators and other allies of Noynoy in the Senate who will act as judges also heed an order from Noynoy to convict Merci — not on the merits of the case, but on partisan lines?....

Long war of attrition in prospect in Libya — experts
CAIRO — Three weeks in, Libya’s popular uprising has lost all resemblance to those in its Arab neighbors amid rising death tolls and world powers’ stuttering search for peace as it tips closer to civil war.
Libya watchers believe the conflict has all the ingredients for a long drawn-out war of attrition that will exercise world diplomacy for many months to come.
“A civil war is already in progress,” says Arshin Adib-Moghaddam, a Libyan specialist at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London.
“I don’t see any party backing up, so the likelihood of a protracted war of attrition is relatively high at this stage.”.... MORE
Cityhood laws C.R.O.S.S.R.O.A.D.S Jonathan De la Cruz 03/09/2011
Cityhood laws
The “Cityhood Laws” were those passed in the last two Congresses converting 16 municipalities into cities whose constitutionality became the subject of heated challenges before the Supreme Court. The petitioner League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) which groups the existing cities under its then President Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Trenas and, in their personal capacities, Calbayog City Mayor Mel Senen Sarmiento and Trenas himself petitioned the high court to junk the said laws for being unconstitutional and “violative of the equal protection clause.” In its ruling dated Nov. 18, 2008, the court en banc by a vote of 6-5 granted the petitions and struck down the cityhood laws. The respondent 16 cities filed a motion for reconsideration which the court en banc denied on March 31, 2009 by a 7-5 vote. A month after, on April 28, 2009 the high tribunal by a 6-6 vote issued a resolution denied a second motion for reconsideration on the ground that the same was a prohibited pleading. However, the respondent 16 cities persisted and found solace in the court’s June 2, 2009 resolution which clarified its earlier decision and took cognizance of the second motion for reconsideration. It then handed another decision on Dec. 21, 2009 declaring the cityhood laws constitutional by a vote of 6-4. The petitioners questioned this decision and urged the court to reinstate its earlier rulings which the court through a resolution dated Aug. 24, 2010 voted 7-6 to set aside. Finally, after almost a year of review, the high court on Feb. 15, 2011 affirned the constitutionality of the said cityhood laws by the same 7-6 vote. That is latest ruling on this much discussed and reviewed case and will stay until it is overturned..... MORE

The battle within
The recent speech given by President Benigno Aquino III to the 196 members of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Laon Alab Class of 2011 spoke about resisting corruption.
I must say that this is new coming from a Philippine president. In her last speech before the PMA in 2010, for which she was late for about two hours, former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo lauded the young cadets for their “brilliance.” The class, according to the PMA superintendent, was “the product of a reformed curriculum,” which emphasizes technology. President Arroyo upheld the importance of excellent education in the future of our youth.

MERCI CALLS HOUSE JUSTICE COMMITTEE ‘KANGAROO COURT’
Impeach vote set for plenary
Heeding the marching orders of President Aquino to ensure the prosection of Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez, the House justice committee voted to find “probable cause” to impeach her, with the justice panel chairman Iloilo Rep. Niel Tupas Jr. defining probable cause as “reasonable grounds to support the well-founded belief that the respondent committed an impeachable offense and should be held for trial.”
The votes predictably went the way of the Aquino majority, with the first complaint getting 39 in favor, nine against and one abstention. The second complaint obtained 39 in favor, six against and one abstention.
Gutierrez refused to appear before what she called a “kangaroo court” but appeared unfazed by the threat made by Aquino, stressing, however, that the Liberal Party congressmen and allies of Aquino should have followed the rule of law and not the rule of men.
Gutierrez appeared before the media at the weekly forum sponsored by the Catholic Media Network, saying she is ready to face the Senate trial..... MORE

Lacierda cites Arroyo court, picks fight with SC’s Marquez
Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda who indirectly called the majority of justices composing the Supreme Court as an Arroyo court yesterday engaged in a word war with his counterpart in the Supreme Court (SC), Jose Midas Marquez, who earlier issued a statement implying that President Aquino would like to appoint justices who would be loyal to him.
This developed as Marquez cautioned Ilocos Norte Rep. Rodolfo Fariñas, a known ally of the Aquino administration, on his plans to subject SC justices who concurred with the status quo ante (SQA) order on the House committee on justice which delayed deliberations on petitions to impeach Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez to impeach-proceedings themselves.

Aside from the Philippines, Vietnam has also protested to Beijing over its naval activity in the contested waters.

Noy wrong to order allies against Merci —Marcos
By Angie M. Rosales and Aytch S. de la Cruz 03/09/2011
With President Aquino taking a direct hand in having his allies in the House of Representatives prosecute Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez, the proceedings against her are clearly a political move rather than a legal proceeding, Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said yesterday.
The marching order given the presidential House allies “created the effect of galvanizing the House members to accelerate the process of impeachment.”
Aquino’s allies in the Senate, however, gave conflicting statements in confirming or denying the participation or even on the order of the President among majority bloc members in the lower house to pursue the impeachment move against Gutierrez.
“It’s his (Aquino’s) prerogative but again it throws into suspicion whether or not their (House members’) vote is a vote based on the merits or a vote based on the partyline. If it’s partyline, then we have introduced partisan politics into the the impeachment process which is perhaps not entirely proper,” Marcos said..... MORE

13,000 OFWs repatriated from Libya
At least 13,000 of the estimated 30,000 Filipinos have exited tension-plagued Libya as government teams scour for hundreds more who seemed undecided about leaving and will try to convince them to evacuate as the conflict intensifies.
The latest Philippine government chartered flight left Tunisia yesterday while two more chartered flights are being arranged to bring home Filipinos evacuated in Crete, Greece.
So far, 5,381 have returned to the Philippines since government mass evacuations began in Libya two weeks ago.
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) yesterday said there will be no forced evacuation of Filipinos there amid the escalating conflict but has called on remaining workers there to get out of the troubled North African state and avail themselves of the repatriation being offered by the government. A number of Filipinos refuse evacuation for fear of losing their work benefits..... MORE

Of the almost P11-billion tax credit certificate (TCC) issued by the government last year to exporters as tax refunds, P10.5 billion ended up in the hands of major oil companies, particularly Pilipinas Shell and Petron Philippines, senators were told yesterday.
At a hearing conducted by the congressional oversight committee on the comprehensive tax reform package (COCCCTRP), lawmakers learned that the P10.92 billion TCCs issued by the Bureau of Customs (BoC) last year virtually wiped out the P9 billion excise taxes paid by the oil companies for their imports in 2010.
“This means that aside from enjoying fat profits from their relentless oil price hikes, oil players effectively save millions more on their import taxes through the use of discounted TCCs,” committee chairman Sen. Ralph Recto noted.
The panel is now eyeing of abolishing TCC and replaced it with outright tax refund scheme, limited only to export industry members..... MORE

Where is transparency here? EDITORIAL 06/19/2011
Where is transparency here?
Transparency was Noynoy’s litany when he was seeking the public’s vote for the presidency; a promise which now appears to be an ordeal as he, through his Palace mouthpieces, have rejected proposals in the House to probe those who are classified within the so-called KKKs (Kaibigan, Kaklase and Kabarilan), or presidential cronies, classmates and shooting range buddies.
The Palace’s rejection of course reverberated among the House of Representatives’ allies of Noynoy and the proposed probe, by all indications, will not likely prosper.
But why is his ally, Deputy Speaker Erin Tañada, already concluding that the President is the focus of the probe, when the probe has not even started. And why, if there is nothing to fear about their claimed “honest” and “transparent” President who they claim rules without fear and favor, are these Noynoy allies fearing such a probe, to the point of already covering up for him and his aides?
Noynoy, however, is making the same mistake that made the past administration one of the most unpopular ever..... MORE

It certainly looks like the spirit of vindictiveness in Noynoy lives on and strongly.
The latest word on the Marcos burial issue is that Noynoy is not even bent on giving Marcos military honors, as Vice President Jojo Binay had recommended, after conducting an exhaustive survey among various sectors of society and coming up with what can be called a “win-win” solution: Burial in Ilocos, and military honors of Ferdinand Marcos.
But even the military honors will be denied Marcos, although instead of owning to the fact that it is Noynoy himself who does not want it at all, he is using as his excuse the so-called victims of martial law who oppose it. He also uses another excuse, which is that Marcos may have already been given military honors when his remains were brought home for his burial in a refrigirated crypt in Ilocos.
But definitely, it is still his and his family’s vindictiveness that has kept him from giving Marcos the military honors..... MORE

Franco’s remains stir debate in Spain, 35 years after death
MADRID — More than 35 years after the death of Francisco Franco, Spain’s government is mulling whether to move the dictator’s remains from the vast mausoleum he had built with forced labor.
The Valley of the Fallen, an underground tomb complex outside Madrid where he is buried, was constructed on Franco’s orders between 1940 and 1958.
As well as Franco’s own remains, historians estimate the mass graves contain those of between 40,000 and 60,000 of his supporters and the Republicans who opposed them in Spain’s 1936-39 Civil War, which ended with Franco in power.
But for many Spaniards, the memorial site — carved into the side of a mountain in part through the forced labor of thousands of political prisoners — is their country’s most divisive and potent reminder of the Franco era..... MORE

Syria opposition abroad seeks to form united front
LONDON — Syrian opposition figures living abroad are seeking to form a common front with activists inside the country to help put pressure on President Bashar al-Assad’s crisis-hit regime.
As Syrian security forces crack down with deadly force on anti-regime protests, opposition activists have met in Turkey and Brussels, shared a platform in London, will visit Moscow and plan a major conference in the US.
But the regime opponents abroad have a tough job ahead of them, both in linking up with anti-regime activists in Syria and in building their own unified resistance.
“It is unfair to expect us to have a unified opposition” following years of oppressive rule, says Najib Ghadbian, a Middle East expert at Arkansas University in the United States.... MORE

In China, professional mourners spice up funerals
CHONGQING — Hu Xinglian kneels before the corpse of Liang Zhicai and, with one hand on his metal coffin, lets out a piercing wail. But Hu is not at all grief-stricken — she is a professional mourner.
In parts of China, where rural pre-burial rituals are still observed, mourners known as “kusangren” are hired to guarantee that a funeral is a spectacle in grief. And the 53-year-old Hu is up to the task.
She comes to work with a full sound-system, multi-colour spotlights and the six members of her band, “The Orchestra of the Star and River of Chongqing.”
Her job offers a study in contrasts between modern living and tradition in the southwestern province-sized municipality, home to more than 30 million people and a symbol of the rapid urbanization seen across China..... MORE

Being trusted and trustworthy
Every administration has its own versions of “K.” Even the sainted Tita Cory had her “Kamag-anak Inc.” Anybody who gets nailed in Malacañang, especially to the highest post of the land would be the most insecure person in the world even if hundreds of PSG’s and the top intellectuals from UP, Harvard and corporate halls, all at a whispering distance would cordon him closely. He needs a coterie of trusted and loyal friends who would shoo away possible darts that may pinch deeply on himself in order to feign stability and complacency in his incumbency.
Sadly, the first presumption of these rah-rah cheerers is really similar to what they usually teach the applicant secretaries, namely, that their boss is so stupid and clueless that he depends entirely on his secretary for everything from documents, appointments, files to wardrobes, medication, toiletries, but most importantly their loyalty and confidentiality.

Palace calls ‘troublemaker’ source of Ping-Noy rift story
The Palace branded as a troublemaker the source of the recent expose of The Tribune who divulged that the resignation of former Transportation and Communications Secretary Jose “Ping” de Jesus was the result of a bitter argument between him and President Aquino over the fate of Land Transportation Office (LTO) chief and Aquino shooting buddy Virginia Torres who Aquino insisted on retaining.
Unnamed sources at the Department of Transportation and Communications (DoTC) speaking to media with respect to the lingering issues confronting the agency are just trying to cause some trouble for the government, deputy presidential spokesman Abigail Valte said.

49ers LB Aldon Smith piling up dubious numbers
The off-season for the San Francisco 49ers has been just about as much fun as their final game of the 2013 season.
Oft-troubled LB Aldon Smith, the first player drafted by Jim Harbaugh as Niners coach, apparently did something of breathtaking foolishness — telling Los Angeles International airport employees he had a bomb, while being “belligerent and uncooperative” to TSA agents — and was arrested Sunday on a charge of making a false threat.
When available, Smith has been a formidable adversary for the Seahawks. In the first meeting in the past season, Smith had six tackles, four for loss including two sacks, in Seattle’s 29-3 win. In the regular season rematch, he had just a single tackle in the 49ers’ 19-17 win at Candlestick Park. In the NFC title game, he had four tackles, including two sacks and recovered a fumble.
But according to the San Jose Mercury News, his availability in 2014 is in some jeopardy. Smith has two “open” cases in separate run-ins with the law that may impact how the latest episode is seen by a court.
In September, Santa Clara County prosecutors debated whether to charge Smith with illegal possession of three assault rifles, which were discovered in 2012 after gang members crashed a party at his house, stabbing him and shooting other guests. Smith was considered a victim, putting prosecutors in a quandary about whether to charge him.
But while Smith was waiting to hear his fate on the gun charges, he was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving, compromising his ability to avoid prosecution for the guns.
Prosecutors can’t call the LAX episdoe a “prior” since it came after the first two episodes. But legal experts consulted by the Mercury suggested prosecutors may be reluctant to offer him a plea deal that would reduce charges or lighten a sentence, increasing the chances for jail time. Smith might be seen as more incorrigible.
Punishment for the gun charges range from probation up to four years in jail. The DUI charge is compounded by a prior DUI arrest in Florida, plus the fact that his blood alcohol level was nearly twice the legal limit and he was involved in a collision with a tree.
The false bomb threat could be booked as either a felony or a misdemeanor.
However the charges pan out, the latest episode brought further scrutiny to Harbaugh’s comments last summer when he lightly mocked the Seahawks for being busted by the NFL for performance enhancing drugs, chiefly Adderall and marijuana.
“We want to be above reproach in everything and do everything by the rules,” Harbaugh said at the time. Smith missed five games last season after going into rehab following the DUI arrest, but played in one between arrest and the rehab stint, drawing some criticism of Harbaugh.
Smith is sufficiently talented that the 49ers are unlikely to make any move to suspend him before charges are known on all three episodes. But NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is free to weigh in within the limits of the collective bargaining agreement with the players union.
Andrew12thStrong
This guy is a menace to society and doesn’t seem to learn his lesson on how to stay out of trouble. How many crimes will he commit before the NFL gives him some discipline?
Harbaugh wants to talk about the Seahawks not playing by the rules, but he should really get his own house in order before he criticizes other teams. What a whiny hypocrite. What’s actually worse in society, people who break actual laws that put others in danger or breaking rules your employer puts in place (marijuana is legal here in WA and addorell is legal with a prescription). I’m not saying I support them cheating or want them to cheat, but you can’t seriously make a statement like Harbaugh did and have an Aldon Smith on your own team.
I could be wrong but I think 40whiners are leading the NFL this off-season with the most players in the news for run ins with the law, current and past stuff going to court. Besides Smith and his bomb, we have Culliver’s hit and run, Kaepernick in Miami with the girl and the bong, along with Patton in Miami as well. 4 players but these kind of stories show up on espn pretty quick and I haven’t seen another team with have stories like this about 4 or more players.
Harbaugh didn’t say “bomb” in an airport. But his “above reproach” remark was almost as dumb, and it blew up on him.
I think at the very least an extended suspension is warranted. Claiming a bomb in a time when terrorism is very real isn’t something to be taken lightly. Goodell needs to set the standard on this so players get the message.
“Dumb” doesn’t quite do justice to Smith’s airport remark. I expect even Goodell understands the point.
If Goodell does weigh in he will find the scales heavily tipped in the “Aldon go stand in the corner ” side.Coach has egg on his cheek for sure in his verbal comments pertaining to the bad boy Seahawks image and his(supposedly superior) choir boys. I think Harbaugh’s Khakis were too tight the day he put his foot in his mouth and issued the we expect our 49ers to walk on water statement. What a self inflicted gunshot wound to the big toe that one turned out to be. We will take our Smith (SuperBowl 48MVP) over your Smith any day Jimmie. Good Luck with that one.

Rudy's Replacement
As you know, Rudy's Music Stop closed this year, another casualty along dead and dying West 48th Street's Music Row.
Here's what replaced it:

Frankie & Johnnie's
After 89 years, Frankie & Johnnie’s steakhouse has closed -- and is moving not far from its origins.
Florence Fabricant noted in the Times last week:
"The steakhouse that started as a speakeasy in 1926 is moving a block from West 45th Street, where its building is being put to another use. The last day of service there will be Saturday [12/26], and the new location, once B. Smith’s, will open in early January: 320 West 46th Street, 212-997-9494, frankieandjohnnies.com."
I tried a few times, but never got to eat in this place. For a detailed report, see Brooks of Sheffield's 2012 piece in Eater, where he notes:
"Despite having dodged the wrecking ball, the owners of Frankie's nonetheless found a way to wreck the joint themselves. Soon after being saved, they ripped out the old hidden bar upstairs—a wonderful, ramshackle little getaway if you knew how to find it, where Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lanskey once drank alongside John O'Hara and Frank Sinatra, and Jason Robards Jr. pilloried Richard Nixon to his face. They then installed a faceless, blah bar on the ground floor, and scrubbed up and widened the entrance to the old staircase that winds it way up to the tidy, second-floor dining area.
These renovations were mistakes, and noticeably decreased the seedy charm of the place. Still, Frankie & Johnnie's retains more charm than most. Tucked away 15 feet above Eighth Avenue, its small windows shaded, it still feels like a speakeasy, the most Runyonesque of Times Square eateries. The bill of fare remains avowedly old school."

Cafe Edison: 1 Year Later
One year ago this week, after a mighty fight to save its life, the great Cafe Edison closed its doors. The Polish Tearoom, as it was lovingly known by its many fans on and off Broadway, had been in the Hotel Edison since 1980.
Last winter, the new owner of the hotel denied a lease renewal to Cafe Edison, despite passionate pleas from the Broadway community, magicians, local politicians--including Mayor Bill de Blasio--and thousands of fans who made our case via national and international news.
While the hotel owners originally claimed they would replace Cafe Edison with a "white-tablecloth" restaurant and a "name chef," they recently announced that a local mini-chain called Friedman's Lunch would be going in. "Just like the Cafe Edison," reported the Daily News in September, "the new restaurant is not some flashy, white-tablecloth type space... It’s a modest, family business." The real-estate broker on the deal told the paper, “It’s old-school, hearty good food. We must have gotten 50 offers but the landlord didn’t want big chains or celebrity chefs. They wanted something warm. This is going to be everything the Edison Cafe was--just a few decades later."
But Friedman's is not "just like" the Cafe Edison and it won't be "everything the Cafe Edison was."
While it might try to sound like one, Friedman's is not a family name, in case you thought it might be. Remarkably, according to DNAInfo, "The restaurant's name is a tribute to free-market economist Milton Friedman." Could anything be more apropos in this city destroyed by neoliberalization?
For your holiday listening pleasure, here's the Milton Friedman choir sharing the man's definition of a corporation:
via okieblog
Anyway, needless to say, many of us who fought like hell to save this truly authentic piece of New York feel betrayed by this news.
Conrad Strohl & NBC News: photo by Barbara Nassberg -- see the video here
I reached out yesterday to Cafe Edison family member Jordan Strohl. When we last heard from the Strohls, they were busy looking for a new location for the coffee shop. Jordan told me:
"It’s hard to fathom that it’s been a year to the day that the longest show on Broadway went dark. This is certainly not the outcome that my family and I wanted. It is a sad day for my family. I try to think about all the wonderful memories, customers, and stories that we had as our home remains dark! The business was a wonderful success story and spoke volumes about what my family stands for and who we are."
"In the past year we have looked at many places with an open mind and, unfortunately, nothing has panned out. As a result, we have turned our attention to finding a way to make some of our products available for customers. We have been actively engaged in working on our product line and believe there is a market for our food. Hopefully, we will have more announcements about that very soon."
"As for the recent news on Friedman’s taking the space, I hope it is an epic failure!"

The Strohl family continues to look for a new space where the Cafe Edison can rise again, bringing people together over authentic New York comfort food.
If you know of a place, or have any leads, please leave the information in the comments section here, or write to me directly at jeremoss at yahoo dot com.

Cafe Edison Closes
In case you missed the news, the Garage restaurant is closing.
via Brunch Upon a Time
Reader Elizabeth writes in that the last day is January 3. She says, "their rent was going to be hiked to $50k a month. So they are closing. I am heartsick. My friend George and I had Thanksgiving dinner there many times over the years, and loved hanging at the big beautiful wood bar and listening to jazz. No plans to try to reopen in NYC."
I don't know how long exactly Garage has been on Seventh Avenue in the Village, but I guess it's been about 20 years.
Originally a garage, the building has long been a home for jazz and theater--of one sort or another. Over 75 years ago, it was the Nut Club, a nightclub that hosted cockroach races.
cockroach racing (photo via GVSHP)
In the 1950s, it was jazz club The Pad and then Lower Basin Street, where Dave Brubeck played.
After jazz, the building housed live theater as the Sheridan Square Playhouse, home of the Circle Repertory from 1969 - 1994, when they moved to a larger space shortly before folding.
Today, Garage hosts jazz every night and specializes in a jazz brunch. There will only be a few of those left.
Cars on the wall of Garage
La Lunchonette's Last Days
You may recall that last fall I reported that La Lunchonette would be forced to close, thanks to the High Line Effect that is sweeping small businesses from Chelsea.
The 28-year-old restaurant hung on longer than expected, but now the last supper has been announced. La Lunchonette's final night will be this New Year's Eve.
Owner Melva Max adds, "A ten story building will be erected, another 'starchitect' flexing their creative muscle along the old rail line."
After the High Line opened, Max's landlord’s phone didn't stop ringing, and it was always a real-estate developer on the other end. She told me, “My landlord’s not a bad guy, but how you can you say no to offers of $30 million?”
She also noted, “The neighborhood is so gross now. It’s all tourists coming for the High Line. People always say, ‘But wasn’t it great for you?’ The High Line has been the cause of my demise.”
Stop in before La Lunchonette is gone -- taking its delicious lamb sausages with it.

Pearl River Mart
This past spring, Crain's reported that Pearl River Mart, the excellent Asian emporium, would be forced to close at the end of the year due to an insane rent hike.
Now reader Andrea R. writes in with a final (ish) date. A friend who works in the store told her: "the closing date is around February 10."
Pearl River first opened in Chinatown in 1971. It has since moved twice, but this may be the end of it, due to sky-high rents all over the city. As Crain's reported, "Pearl River currently pays more than $100,000 a month for its shop, and rent would rise more than five times when the lease expires."
That's over $500,000 per month.
And this is why we need to #SaveNYC.

Nostalgia Train
Riding the Nostalgia Train sounds like something you do when you're lost in reverie and memory, pining for what used to be. If that's what it is, then many New Yorkers are casting backwards through time on Sundays this month, riding antique subway cars along the M Line, from Second Avenue to Queens Plaza and back again.
The people on the Nostalgia Train are a different breed.
Some come dressed in period costume, Depression-era hats and coats, shoes and neckties, dark lipstick shades of another epoch. These otherworldly anachronisms dance on the station platform to the music of a little swing band, the slick-haired singer crooning "Night and Day."
Others come in MTA paraphernalia, railfans dressed in t-shirts and knit winter caps proclaiming their favorite subway line. The F and the 6 are tops. One young man sits grinning, running through a near constant patter of conductor announcements. He's got the script down and compulsively, giddily recites its length and breadth. "This is Broadway-Lafayette," he calls out. "Transfer is available for the 6 train. Stand clear of the closing doors." Another young man, wearing an Amtrak t-shirt, holds his iPhone by the open door between the cars, audio recording the clickety-clack in the dark tunnel's roar.
Haloed by warm incandescent light bulbs, an older man stands and pontificates on the state of today's New York, city of yuppies, cell phones, and drunk Santas: "Is this the city you and I were raised in? It's become alien. I have no feeling for it anymore. It's scary!"
But no one listens. They'd rather pretend it's the past.
Retired motormen trade stories. Clasp hands. Greet each other warmly, saying, "Hey, I ain't seen your ugly mug for a hundred years."
Among the fanatics and nostalgics, other New Yorkers climb aboard, acting like the everyday subway riders they are--tired, bored, going to work, coming home from a long day already. They've got no time for reminiscence.
The Nostalgia Train doesn't sound or feel or smell like today's bright and whispery subway cars. Heavy in its bones, it broadcasts a loud symphony of sound, rattling and wheezing through the underworld. Inside, ceiling fans whiz overhead. The air is olive drab or else some shade of sea foam.
Open windows let in the smells of the tunnel, which shift from swampy organics to a fragrance you'd swear was burnt buttered toast.
Soot flies in and lands in your eye. In these old cars, you are not sheltered from the city. You are joined to it.
There is no stillness here. The rattan benches bounce your spine up and down as the jolting car keeps all bodies in motion.
But the best part comes when the train dives beneath the East River and launches forth to Queens. The driver lets out the throttle, like letting loose the reins of a horse, and the whole thing torpedoes ahead. It dives deeper, faster, jerking from side to side, shuddering in its bolts. A gritty wind blasts through the openings, strong enough to knock off a hat, if it tried.
In this unbridled speed, the riders are giddy. It is a relief to feel the city thrumming in your gut, to not be insulated from it, to not be held in some sterile, hospital-lit tube.
This feels real. This knocking around. This sucking down the filthy wind. This robust mechanical jolt.
This is New York.
Going Into Black Seed
One year ago, right about this time, DeRobertis' Pasticceria closed after the family opted to sell the building in increasingly hard times for small businesses. It had been on First Avenue in the East Village since 1904. Last week I shared the news that they opened a new shop, way out in Clifton, New Jersey. You can order their pastries online, but it won't bring back the feeling of sitting in their glorious cafe.
Going into Black Seed bagels won't bring it back, either.

DeRobertis
As I do with all of my favorite places when they've been taken over and partly preserved by new owners, I forced myself to enter DeRobertis' replacement.
Stepping inside Black Seed, I was surprised by a sudden physical dysphoria. My stomach clenched, my head spun, my whole body trembled like a tuning fork. The cognitive dissonance of being in a space so intimately familiar, yet rendered utterly strange, was too much to bear.
The Black Seed people have kept many of DeRobertis' antique features, and I should be glad for that. It still has the tile walls and floor, the pistachio green back wall, the mirrors with their star-burst centers, but everything else is wrong, modernized and hipsterized, crammed with different people--the wrong people, people who never set foot in DeRobertis.
I hurried out, gasping for air, but vowed to get my bearings and go back another day.
On my next trip, I steeled myself, only felt slightly woozy, and ordered a bagel sandwich and coffee. The total came to over $15. I sat in a wide wooden booth made of "reclaimed sycamore" and stared at the floor, at the empty spot where a mobster's 1821 half dollar used to be.
I focused on what felt familiar and attempted to mentally exclude the rest. The extant details of the old cafe served as potent memory cues that helped to reconstruct a vision of how the space used to be. I began to relax. But the alien elements kept intruding and unsettled me again. The smells were wrong. The sounds were wrong. My psyche flipped back and forth between the old and the new, unmoored again by a cognitive dissonance, a locational unease. Where was I? Maybe this is like getting into a bed with a lover who's just returned from a Body Snatcher pod. The voice is the same, the face seems right, but you just know you're holding an alien in your arms--and it gives you the chills.
My sandwich, if such things are important to you, was tasty. I might order another. But it's not at all difficult to find a tasty sandwich in foodie-saturated Manhattan today. What is hard to find is authenticity, history, and a haimish environment.
Even when a space is preserved, once the soul has vacated, it won't ever be the same.

Where Ess-A-Bagel Was
Where Ess-A-Bagel once was, there is a Tal Bagels (since September) and, just this week, a Bank of America.
Ess-A-Bagel was here since 1976. They were forced to close this past spring, to much weeping and rending of garments.
Why put another bagel shop where there already was a hugely successful and beloved bagel shop? I have no idea. At least Tal uses the term "appetizing" on their sign, a word with an interesting history.
As for Bank of America, there's nothing appetizing about it.
Ess-A-Bagel plans to reopen a new shop just a little further south on First Avenue.
DeRobertis Opens DeRoLicious
Some good news for a change. The DeRobertis family, moved from their historic space in the East Village one year ago, has just announced the opening of a new shop in Clifton, New Jersey.
Via email, they write:
"This is the DeRobertis Family. Well, the reason I am contacting you is because on Nov. 23 we opened up a place called DeRoLicious Delights. My Father John, Brother John, Tony the Baker and I (Dana) have decided to continue the business in Clifton, NJ. We are very excited to be back sharing our family tradition with new and old friends. We have a retail space available to visit AND an Online Shop available for people to order Biscotti, Butter Cookies & more."
You can find them online here -- follow them on Instagram -- and visit them in person at 64 1/2 Market St., Clifton, NJ.
Some of the old furnishings have gone with them, including the tables and chairs, and their excellent Wall of Fame:
After nine months of sitting shuttered by the City, after hopeful rumors that they’d soon be reopening, Chelsea’s wonderful La Taza de Oro has called it a day.
Sadly, it's been confirmed, the beloved 68-year-old Puerto Rican luncheonette has closed for good. I will miss it.
A tipster wrote in, "They were looking forward to opening in January, and as of not that long ago were still going to open, but the city recently put additional financial burdens in the way that make it impossible for the small business to open back up."
I went by the restaurant to find proprietor Eric Montalvo, husband of Maria and son-in-law of the man whose uncle originally opened the restaurant in 1947.
Mr. Montalvo was mopping the floor, cleaning up the place and taking it apart. He let me inside and we talked awhile. The bright yellow hand-painted menu signs had already been removed, but he put them back up, proudly, so I could photograph and admire them.
He told me he’s retiring. His children don’t want the restaurant; they all have careers of their own.
The breaking point, however, came when the city made it impossible to stay open after the Second Avenue gas explosion this past spring caused city agencies to panic and tighten the rules, so that when a few bricks fell from the neighboring facade, Con Ed turned off the gas in the Montalvos' building and the Department of Buildings slapped them with an order to vacate. They lost nine months of income. (We nearly lost the B&H Dairy for the same reason.)
Even when you own the building, as the Montalvo family does, it’s getting harder for small restaurants to stay afloat in this town, thanks to increasing bills and a punishing Health Department.
"Small businesses are being pushed out," said Montalvo.
On top of all that, the neighborhood has changed dramatically in recent years. Google took over the building across the street, and its employees, by and large, don’t want the Puerto Rican home cooking at La Taza.
“The new generation,” Montalvo said, “they walk around with the Starbucks cups and the cell phones and…like this,” he turned up his nose and clutched his collar to mimic someone who acts superior, Starbucks cup in hand.
Through the years, La Taza soldiered on, a thriving remnant of the days when Chelsea was filled with Latin restaurants and people. It has served mofongo and tostones to many a celebrity -- Carlos Santana, Puff Daddy, Benicio del Toro, Madonna, Sandra Bernhard -- among the crowd of everyday neighborhood regulars who were devoted to this warm and comforting place.
Montalvo understands that people will be heartbroken to see La Taza go. “I’m sorry to them,” he said. “This is a landmark of New York. It’s the embassy of Puerto Rican cuisine in the city.” But, at some point, you realize you're fighting a losing battle.
“I’m going back to the Caribbean,” he said. “I’m going to swim in the rivers. And try to relax.”
Montalvo plans to rent the space out and hopes for a Latin restaurant to move in.
As for those vintage hand-painted menu signs, he’ll be putting them on ebay if you’re looking for a souvenir.

Sidewalk Cobblers
A little while ago, New York magazine published a piece on how Chinatown has stayed Chinatown, instead of becoming yet another bland, suburban, luxury Nowhere like most of Manhattan. It really is one of the last holdout neighborhoods of the old New York.
I love the relative lawlessness of Chinatown's sidewalks, where all manner of business is conducted. The place has not been regulated and tamed. One phenomenon I particularly enjoy is that of the sidewalk cobbler. While storefront cobblers across town are dying out, thanks to skyrocketing rents, these renegade merchants survive.
There are many of them, but my favorite has a wide space on Elizabeth Street by Grand. Not the ruined Elizabeth Street of "Nolita," but the other Elizabeth Street, further south.
The cobbler's stall, if you can call it that, consists of a long piece of plywood erected alongside a corner herb market. It is beautifully decorated with hand-drawn illustrations, glued to the brick wall. Most of the drawings are of animals--birds, horses, cats, pandas--but also waterfalls and warships and airplanes.
The cobbler and his assistant sit and smoke cigarettes while they work--and their customers wait, stocking-footed, on nearby stools, reading Chinese newspapers.
Most of the sidewalk cobblers will also sharpen your knives and scissors.
Here's another:
And another:
Writing for the Times about the shopless cobblers of Chinatown in 2003, here's Joseph Berger:
"No one knows whether this breed of entrepreneur is growing, but scholars say the phenomenon may reflect the city's rising costs of doing business.
'As rents increased, it became more prohibitive to open up a store, so if you can have a store without paying the rent you do it,' said Dr. William B. Helmreich, a professor of sociology at the City University of New York who specializes in urban ethnography.
These sidewalk tradespeople may be a throwback to the European immigrants of a century ago who would stake out a business wherever it was possible."

Pearl Paint: On Tour
When the Pearl Paint mothership suddenly shuttered last year, artists all over the city--and the country--wept.
Soon after, artist Barry Fellman recreated the interior of the store, traveling to Texas to buy Pearl's original cabinets, fixtures, and various products, and turn them into an installation. "Art Show" is on view once again at the Center for Visual Communication in Miami, and will soon be touring the country.
"The installation provokes questions about the availability of art supplies, how they are purchased, and how their use is changing as artists adopt digital technology and new forms of presentation. Art Store extends Duchamp's seminal Readymades, sourced from consumer culture, to a collection of mass produced objects actually used to create art."
"Art Store will be launched in 2016 as a traveling installation to activate communities nationwide by serving as a point of engagement to support local museums, schools and organization involved in arts and education. Institutions may contact CVC for more information on exhibiting Art Store in their community."
Meanwhile, back on Canal Street, the Pearl Paint space remains vacant, another casualty of high-rent blight.

Home / Review The War on Women – Sue Lloyd-Roberts
The War on Women – Sue Lloyd-Roberts
My previous book review published here was extremely negative about a particular feminist book. So, for balance, here is my review of a feminist book that I believe every socially-aware man and woman should read.
Sue Lloyd Roberts was working on this book when she died in 2015. Her astonishing career in journalism had taken her to some of the harshest places in the world. In many of these places, she was appalled at the treatment of women and she become an advocate and activist for change in several nations, including her own home country, Britain.
Issues tackled in this book include female genital mutilation, religious abuse in Ireland, discrimination against women in Saudi Arabia, sex-trafficking in various nations, rape and sexual abuse at the hands of (would you believe?) UN peacekeeper soldiers, forced marriage and honour killings in Muslim cultures and a general mistreatment of women in India. Britain’s record of turning a blind eye to FGM and honour killings earns it a place of shame, unlike France where such things are much more likely to lead to conviction and corresponding jail time.
Sue’s daughter, Sarah, has written the introduction and BBC Chief International Correspondent, Lyse Doucet, has written a kind of journalistic eulogy to complete the book.
Unfortunately, Sarah has also written a chapter entitled “Sex Inequality in the UK” in which she itemises, sector by sector, the pay gap between males and females. Obviously there is validity in calling for “the same wages for the same job” but Sarah also talks about “the motherhood trap” whereby women take time out from their careers to have children only to find males leapfrogging them on the corporate ladder. And she laments that women are more highly represented in part-time employment. She writes “As long as society continues to believe that mothers are the best carers for their children, we are denying women the same opportunities as men.” (p267) This tendency to downplay motherhood in favour of career recognition must be considered a serious blindspot of the feminist movement and this chapter definitely spoils what is otherwise a magnificently confronting expose of the shocking abuse that women suffer in so many parts of the world.
Apart from the relative trivialities of chapter 12, this is an outstanding book that should spark ongoing outrage at the brutal war on women that it still happening in too many places.

Trouble Juice Records:
Bad Bangs x Slim Pickins
7" Split Single
Trouble Juice Records are really excited to finally put out our inaugural release - a split 7” single between two of our favourite local bands, Bad Bangs and Slim Pickins.
First up, we’ll be releasing “Swimming” by garage-pop trio Bad Bangs and “D7” by rock ’n’ roll/alt-country pals Slim Pickins on a limited run of 7” records, handcut by Melbourne's Small Run vinyl. To celebrate, we’ll be throwing a little party at Brunswick's Record Paradise this Saturday where you can get your hands on a copy.
Bad Bangs - Swimming
Bad Bangs x Slim Pickins 7" Split Single by Bad Bangs x Slim Pickins
Bad Bangs have been gigging around Melbourne on and off for the last few years, and after a name change and something of a hiatus, they’re finally out with their first official release. A staple in their live set since early on in the band’s career, 'Swimming' is a charming slice of garage-pop and a prime example of what the girls do best. It’s all crunchy guitars, melodic basslines and Shelby De Fazio’s soulful vocals drifting effortlessly over the top. With the perfect amount of grit and an equal amount of attitude, 'Swimming' is the perfect cut to present Bad Bangs to the world.
Slim Pickins - D7
Bad Bangs x Slim Pickins 7" Split Single by Slim Pickins
Slim Pickins are a Melbourne rock ’n’ roll/alt-country band, and 'D7' is their first offering of new music since the release of 'Anywhere' in 2016 - a country infused rock song full of twangy guitars and howling blues harp, which received some airtime on Melbourne community radio stations PBS and Triple R. 'D7' finds the band heading into some new territory - while the track is still based in jangling chords and highlights Ben Leahy’s signature vocals, weird sounds float in and out and fuzzed guitars sizzle as the band jams a hypnotic groove. The song doesn’t give much away about where Slim Pickins are headed, but serves as an excellent companion to Bad Bangs’ cut.
'Swimming' and 'D7' are being launched at Record Paradise on Saturday October 21st.
Bands on from 4pm, 7" singles for sale (as well as heaps more available at Record Paradise) and it's free, all ages and BYO.

Taapsee Pannu had an eventful 2019 with four movie releases Badla, Game Over, Mission Mangal and the latest being Saand Ki Aankh. She also has several films in her kitty and has been shooting back to back for them. Taapsee will soon be seen in Tadka, Thappad and also Rashmi Rocket. Now as per reports, Taapsee has signed one more film which will be a romantic-thriller.
In the untitled film, Taapsee is paired opposite Vikrant Massey who'll be seen alongside Deepika Padukone in Chhapaak. Talking about the movie, a source informed a leading daily, "The makers thought a fresh pair would work in the film's favour as it will keep the mystery element intact since there will be no preconceived notions about them as a couple." The source further added that the film will be shot in North India but the location is not finalised yet.
The untitled film will be bankrolled by Aanand L Rai and Bhushan Kumar under their banners Color Yellow Productions and T-Series and will be directed by Vinil Mathew, who previously helmed Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra starrer Hasee Toh Phasee. This Taapsee and Vikrant film is expected to go on floors in 2020.

ARSENAL STATS
Arsenal’s blancmange must harden
Home/Uncategorized/Arsenal’s blancmange must harden
Arsenal's need of a new Patrick Vieira was brought on home to me all the more today, upon reading extracts of Roy Keane's new book.
It's riveting stuff and interesting that he referred to Arsenal as 'a big team'. Obviously, that's not the case now, apart from Mertesacker (who's a gentle giant anyway), we haven't got anyone who seems physically imposing.
Even my favourite midfielder at the time, Manu Petit, was no a player to be trifled with. Now we're more like blancmange in the middle: easy to slice through and prone to wobbling.
It pains me to say it, but I'm starting to think Flamini is not quite good enough in the holding role. At least, if he's by himself. Had Wenger 're-paired' him with Cesc (a partnership that took us to the top of the league), it could have been 'oh so different'.
Instead, we sit languishing in the middle of the table, looking upwards at certain teams we'd normally look down upon.
Anyway, we've had some tough fixtures, so we just have to be stoic and wait for the blancmange to harden. Or wait for reinforcements in January!

Distributor: Currently licensed by GKids.
Content Rating: PG-13 (Mild torture, mature situations.)

Notes: Conceived, written and directed by Yasuhiro Yoshiura
Patema, a young woman with a burning curiosity about the world outside of her compartmented existence, encounters an enemy during one of her explorations, and in the act of fleeing finds herself falling into the sky. A young man named Age, a resident of Aiga (as the region she's tumbled into is called) saves her, even though he (AND his world) literally seem to have the opposite orientation to hers. But Aiga is ruled by a tyrant, and indoctrinates its residents to hate and fear "inverts" like Patema. Can Patema and Age come to understand each other when the ruler of Aiga is resolved to keep them apart- and to keep Patema a terrified prisoner?
"Why it is YOU who are upside down," he said, "how in the world did you get up here?"
"Down here, you mean," corrected the Duchess, with dignity.
"I mean nothing of the kind," he said, while his nose twinkled with amusement, "this country is up, and not down."
-The Magical Monarch of Mo, by L. Frank Baum
Martin Gardner would have loved Patema Inverted. For many years he wrote the "Mathematical Games" column for Scientific American, and was intrigued by puzzles and paradoxes, including of perception and including, especially, inversions- I remember quite well one he wrote about a weird comic strip by one Gustave Verbeek, "The Upside-Downs of Little Lady Lovekins and Old Man Muffaroo," which was actually two strips in one- reading it in the conventional orientation gave you half the story; to get the other half, you flipped it over. (The two title characters morphed into each other when you turned it upside-down.) Gardner also wrote a preface for the Dover Books edition of the Baum book I was quoting from, and he called attention to the "upside-down" world in that particular chapter of the book as well. So I would guess Gardner would have been delighted with the reversed perspectives the two protagonists of Patema have toward the "world" (gravity seems to pull them in opposite directions), and I think he might even have been intrigued by the philosophical question of which one had the "correct" perspective- perhaps the best answer to that question would be from a study of the history of how things got to be the way they are here, and you WILL get some information to help you sort that out (beyond that I'm not telling!), but I thought there were still some loose ends left over in the end, and someone like Gardner might have been a little more harsh about the physics than I'll be. Still, while Patema and Age might have contradictory notions of "which way is up," they're nevertheless actually pretty similar to each other as people, and maybe can work all this out.
Patema's world, when we first experience it, is one of closed chambers, whose occupants subsist at least partly by scavenging. Outside of it lie steel corridors, enormous pipes, long-nonfunctional rusted machinery, and titanic airshafts; it's down one of the latter that Patema plunges toward the sky in kind of reverse Alice-down-the-rabbit-hole fashion. Age's world has that same sky, but overhead for him rather than under foot. His world is a tightly regimented, thoroughly Orwellian place where students are summoned to class by air-raid siren rather than by a bell, and are made to memorize mantras like "we follow the laws, maintain order, and watch the ground," and "we must keep our eyes firmly on our feet." Hatred of "Inverts" (people from Patema's world) is drilled into the students, and justified by depiction of them as cursed "sinners." While people in Patema's domain are discouraged from visiting Aiga more by cultural taboo, people in Aiga are kept from Patema's world by much more aggressive coercion (both physical and psychological.)
But Patema and Age, despite being from worlds that are either informally (hers), or formally (his), hostile to each other, and despite the opposite directions gravity seems to pull them, still have a lot in common, most particularly a desire to learn more about those places they're not "supposed" to go, and they both have quite a bit of courage as well. (I suffer from vertigo myself, and the "falling up" scenes, and one scene on the top of a tall tower, made ME feel queasy.) Patema and Age also discover an unexpected personal connection between their peoples, whose revelation brings the youngsters even closer together. (Patema's character would have been right at home in a Miyazaki film, hence my recs.)
Ah, that gravity thing. I don't believe that either Patema or Age experiences a full 1 G acceleration when they fall, partly because Patema would have found it almost impossible to stop the way she did when she first entered Aiga (and certainly not without serious injuries), and partly because I don't see how they could manage to hold onto each other (in what we'll call, from both their names, the "Patemage Clench") for as long as they often have to do. This apparently lower gravity might be consistent with the nature of their wider existence- their world is quite a bit more complex than even THEY thought at first; I recommend drawing a diagram. (The elucidation of that complexity involves exciting, unexpected revelations that both the protagonists AND the audience can share.) The Clench somewhat negates the tendency for one of them to fly off in the other direction, allowing the one to tow the other around, kind of like maneuvering an errant helium balloon. As I said, when you think about this it's easy to nitpick the physics, but as I ALSO said, the show makes many fascinating (AND unsettling) points about perspective, as well as that epistemological question of who actually has the "correct" view.
If Patema Inverted has a major weakness, it's its villain. Called Izamura in the Wiki article (though I don't ever remember him actually being called by name anywhere in the show itself), he's smug and brutal, with an obsession with dominating Patema even though he supposedly finds her "kind" disgusting. (We would assume this would involve sexually dominating her as well, but this is the kind of show that studiously avoids going there in any obvious way.) He has that wheezy, cackling laugh that is normally associated with perverted mad scientists in hentai shows. In short, he's pure evil, with NO nuance, and I prefer villains who have a bit more complexity, though he certainly does have his ups and downs, just like everyone else here does.
So I found the show didn't answer ALL my questions (and I think that final scene actually left me with more FRESH ones than with answers), but as High Concept (so to speak) this is a pretty impressive show. The promotional material for the show describes it as "mind-bending", and that's not really hyperbole- it tries to confound your perceptions and expectations, and often does quite well at that.And Patema and Age are utterly charming together- even if the literal mechanics of their relationship might present some challenges in the future.
It's only 98 minutes long, and it's utterly fascinating. See it. — Allen Moody
Recommended Audience: There's some mild torture (mostly psychological rather than physical, though there IS some of that.) If you have a severe fear of heights, it could give you nightmares, though. No fanservice at all.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) – South Africa’s Taste Holdings (TASJ.J) said on Friday it had sold its Starbucks business for 7 million rand ($464,200) and was also considering selling others in its food business, including Domino’s Pizza, as part of a new plan to become a luxury retail group.
The company said in a statement that it could not secure the capital required to fund its previous strategy aimed at bringing Starbucks and Domino’s to break-even.
