Hundreds of protesters looted shops, burnt cars and attacked a synagogue, as an unauthorized anti-Israeli rally turned violent in a Parisian suburb. Simultaneously, thousands participated in peaceful pro-Palestinian marches across the globe.
Despite a ban by authorities, an anti-Israel demonstration was held on Sunday in a Parisian suburb of Sarcelles, dubbed ‘Little Jerusalem’ for its large community of Sephardic Jews. It was the second in a row unauthorized protest in the French capital to turn violent over the weekend.

Several hundred people gathered for protest in Sarcelles by 3pm local time, with dozens of youths then setting cars on fire, smashing shop windows and raiding the shops, throwing stones at police. Protesters shouted: "F*** Israel!" and “Israel assassin.”

A Molotov cocktail was thrown at a synagogue, Le Figaro reports.
The police responded with tear gas, rubber bullets and detaining at least 13 rioters, according to the Local.
The decision to ban pro-Palestinian protests in Paris raised controversy as the rallies happened anyway and turned violent. France's Prime Minister Manuel Valls defended the decision not to allow protests, saying the unrest that broke out "justifies all the more the brave choice by the interior ministry to ban a demonstration," AFP reported.
Elsewhere in Europe pro-Palestinian protests appeared to be relatively peaceful.
The largest one in Europe drew 11,000 of people to the streets of Vienna, who marched across the city center to the official residence of the country’s president.

In Amsterdam, some 3,000 participated in the march, demanding an immediate end to the Israeli military operation in Gaza. People carried signs reading "Stop the war" and "Israel war criminals." Just one person was detained for refusing to obey a police order, the Netherlands’ NOS reported.
"It just has to stop. Children are being killed and they are innocent," said protester Ekrem Kara, as cited by AFP.
A similar rally in Stockholm gathered 1,000 participants.
In the US massive pro-Palestinian protests were held on Sunday in Washington, DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago.
Thousands marched to the Israeli Consulate in Chicago, home to a quarter million Palestinians, demanding a halt to Israel’s military action in Gaza.
In response, the consulate general released a statement defending the military operation.
“Today is a tragic day,” the statement reads as cited by WGN_TV. “13 Israeli soldiers were killed by the terrorist organization Hamas. We regret the loss of civilians on both sides. Hamas continues to brutally attack 6 million Israeli citizens and puts its own population in danger. We have to stop it.”
Some 2,000 protesters took to the streets of Sydney in opposition to the Israeli ground invasion of Gaza. Parents took their children with them for the rally.
“I'm here as a mum to raise awareness of what's happening in Gaza,” Buthania Saeed, 41, told AAP. “All we're seeing is women and children being murdered, houses are being burnt down and families are being vanished.”
Hundreds of mainly Islamist Jordanian protesters burnt Israeli flags in Amman on Sunday, Reuters reports. Demonstrators called on Palestinian Hamas militants to step up rocket attacks against Israeli towns and cities to avenge civilian deaths caused by Israel's offensive in Gaza.
Lebanese activists staged a protest outside the US embassy in Awkar north of Beirut on Sunday. The rally participants burned the American and Israeli flags, while chanting slogans in support of the Palestinians, the Daily Star reports. | positive |
As someone who spends most of his time on an iPad playing strategy games, and as someone who when not playing them on an iPad is playing them on a PC, when I had the chance to speak with Johan Andersson, the Studio Manager of Paradox's internal development team, there was one thing I needed to know above all others.
When can we hope/expect to see Paradox's blend of grand strategy titles (ala the wonderful Crusader Kings, Victoria, Europa Universalis) - a type of game only currently available on the PC - come to the iPad?
"Yes, we definitely want to do that!", he replied enthusiastically. "However, with current machines, our games would not work that easily, as they require a fair bit of memory. So I'd expect us to have to do pretty creative engineering to handle it, because we can't do stuff like removing features or making less countries playable, as that would not be a Paradox Development Studio game."

"Our games are supposed to be complex and fun", he continues. "I'd expect a game like our political simulator Victoria II would actually be the easiest to port, especially when it comes to interface. Since the gameplay there when you try and steer your country through the industrialization and the political reforms is a lot about "nudge these values, let time fly to see effects and watch your people revolt against your government". So we´ll see what the future holds when it comes to iPad games."
Victoria II on an iPad? We can only dream. But what about other platforms that aren't a PC? Paradox as a publisher is already dabbling in consoles, with games like Lead and Gold and the upcoming A Game of Dwarves, but those are very different beasts to its traditional PC titles that are, well, about as "PC" as a game can get.
"Well, a large part of the development-team have worked on consoles before and we all definitely prefer PC", Andersson tells me. "Because PC gives us the freedom to create the games we want to create and make them just as we want them to be."

"We hope they come across as grand, fun and challenging and were not sure we could make that on console. If the industry changes, I don't know.. "
Paradox fans, I'll have more from my interview with Andersson in the days to come. | positive |
Infographic: How Far Will Home Brewing Take You?
Friday, December 21st, 2012
Brewing is a truly awesome hobby that hooks people for many reasons. First off, a side effect of pursuing this hobby is having lots of delicious beer on hand! But that is just the beginning. The wide range of beer styles, yeasts, and brewing processes means there is always something new to explore. Brewing can be a way to challenge oneself. Highest quality beers take balance, experience, and attention to detail. There is also a powerful do it yourself (DIY) geek factor to brewing. Equipment and gadgets start with simple plastic buckets and grow to fully automated brew rigs with lights, switches, pumps and burners. Brewing your own beer is practical, in that the price per bottle can be much lower than store bought beer and avoids tax! Competition in brew club events, state fairs, brew fests keep brewers coming back for more. Brewing can even turn into a career, either as a pro brewer or in academics. And let’s not forget hops – the spice of beer that provides bitterness, aroma, and flavor like none other. Home brewers can knock their palates silly with extremely hoppy brews!
To capture our passion for home brewing and share it with the world we created the following infographic.
How far will home brewing take you?

Endangered, hunted, smuggled and now some would say abandoned, these animals have the smallest chances of recovery out off all the Earth’s creatures. Last year, studies shown that there are at least 35 different animals with world populations of under 1000. But which are the rarest, the animals on the brink of extinction? We have rounded up a list of 10 of the rarest animals in the wild. These animals are so rare, they might disappear forever, and they’re not alone!
The Pinta Island tortoise
Without argument, this turtle is one of the few species of Giant Galapagos tortoises and the rarest animal in the world since there is only one left alive. Lonesome George is the sole surviving member of the Pinta Island race, the giant tortoise being a symbol for the fragility of the Galapagos islands, and a constant reminder for vigilence and conservation of the species. The species was considered extinct until 1971, when a lone example was located by rangers. Since then, the Charles Darwin Research Station has been searching for a female tortoise, even posting a reward of $10,000 to those that find one.
Baiji (Yangtze River Dolphin)
With no more than a few tens of individuals, the dolphin is one of the world’s rarest mammals, and a victim of China’s breakneck economic growth, competing for food with the human beings. It has been driven to extinction due to the activity in 50 years, this being the fourth time when an entire evolutionary line of mammals has vanished from the face of the Earth since the year 1500. The main reason for this fact are the numerous dams and barrages, built starting in the 1930’s, that have fragmented the population and reduced the amount of available habitat. There are news that the species is functionally extinct, experts still searching for members of the species. Fingers crossed!
The Vancouver Island Marmot
This marmot is found only in the high mountainous regions of Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, the Canadian Species at Risk Act listing it as endangered in May 2000. In 1998, the population reached an all-time low of 75 individuals, a captive breeding programme being started during that time. In captivity, there are around 90 Vancouver Island marmots in four breeding facilities, while an estimated 30 members of this species live in the wild ibn 2004. The ultimate goal is to restore a sustainable population of 400-600 Vancouver Island marmots in the wild, so there’s still much to be done. 2005 was a successful year, with 150 individuals in captivity and over 44 pups born.
Seychelles Sheath-tailed Bat
Inhabiting the central granitic islands of the Seychelles Islands north of Madagascar, the bat is part of our list, being one of the most endangered animals since fewer than 100 are believed to exist in the world. It was once commonly found in Seychelles, but the species has undergone a dramatic decline in population during the mid to late 20th century. More research needs to be done in order to understand how the species behave and what needs to be done in order to save them. Scientists believe that, with a heavy amount of effort, 500 individuals may be sufficient to guarantee long-term persistence of the population.
Javan Rhino
This scarce animal is one of the rhino species with fewer than 60 animals surviving in only two known locations: one in Indonesia and the other in Vietnam. Though once widespread throughout Asia, by the 1930’s the rhinoceros was nearly hunted to extinction in Peninsular Malaysia, India, Burma and Sumatra. It was poached for its horn, that is believed to have medicinal uses, and driven to extinction to the intense agricultural practices. Even with all the conservation efforts, the Javan rhinoceros’ chance of survival is small: the population is reduced, hence there are risks of disease and inbreeding.
Hispid hare
Also called the “bristly rabbit”, this hare has been recorded along the southern foothills of the Himalayan mountain chain, Nepal, , Bengal, and Assam. Deforestation, cultivation, and human settlement had the most negative impact on the species, isolating the rabbits in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal and Assam. This animal was feared extinct in 1964, but in 1966, one was spotted. There were an estimated 110 hispid hares worldwide in 2001, numbers continuing to plunge due its unsuccessful adaptation to captivity.
Northern Hairy-nosed Wombat
In the 19th century this species of wombat was present in New South Wales and Victoria but now can only be found in a small national park near Epping Forest Station in tropical Queensland. While this area has been protected as a National Park, the native grasses that the wombat eats are overtaken by non-indigenous plants. The Northern hairy-nosed wombat is the rarest Australian marsupial, and probably the world’s rarest large mammal. In the latest population study, there are an estimated 113 (range 96 to 150) individual. A major recovery program is underway, funded by the Queensland and Commonwealth governments to the tune of $250,000 per year.
Tamaraw (Dwarf Water Buffalo)
Found in the the island of Mindoro in the Philippines, the tamaraw is the only endemic Phillipine bovine. In 1900 there were an estimated 10,000 tamaraw on Mindoro, 120 in 1975, 370 in 1987 . It was declared critically endangered species in 2000 by the World Conservation Union and remained so until today, being threatened by agriculture, hunting or disease brought by domestic species. The current population was estimated in 2002 at a number between 30 and 200 individuals. Although protected by law, the illegal capture and killing of this species continues to occur.
Iberian Lynx
The Lynx, the most endangered of the world’s 36 cats, stands on the edge of extinction. This lynx was once distributed over the entire Iberian Peninsula but now its area is severely restricted in Andalusia. Threatened by destruction of habitat and of its prey, the cat was killed by traps set for rabbits or hit by cars as the number of roads increase. The Spanish Government is now in the process of developing a national conservation effort to save the Iberian Lynx. Studies from March 2005 have estimated the number of Lynx to be as few as 100, down from about 400 in 2000. On March 29, 2005, the birth of 3 cubs, the first born in captivity, was announced, a hope for the future reintroduction of the species.
Red Wolf
This wolf is a smaller and a more slender cousin of the gray wolf, historically ranging from southeastern United States to Florida and Texas. Now, their home is the 1.7 million acres throughout northeastern North Carolina, including Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge and Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge. Only 20 pure red wolves were estimated in 1980, however the number increased to 207 captive red wolves, found in 38 captive breeding facilities across the United States. With the successful breeding programs, over 100 red wolves currently live in the wild.
Dwarf Blue Sheep
The Dwarf Blue Sheep or Dwarf Bharal Pseudois schaeferi is an endangered species of caprid found in China and Tibet. The dwarf blue sheep population in the world has declined to a total of 70–200 individuals, currently being listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The species is hunted, and in their limited range cannot escape from humans and livestock. As of 1997, China did not recognize them as a seperate species so efforts to conserve the species have not been initiated. | positive |
Inzamam and Mushtaq Ahmed held their nerve for a one-wicket win © Getty Images
1994
One of the greatest Tests of modern times came to a dramatic conclusion in Karachi. Pakistan needed 314 to beat Australia in the first Test; but when they fell to 258 for 9, their first ever defeat at the National Stadium - and Australia's first win in Pakistan for 35 years - looked a certainty. But Inzamam-ul-Haq and Mushtaq Ahmed flayed an injury-ravaged attack for 53 runs in eight overs to leave only three needed for victory. Inzamam gave Shane Warne the charge and missed, only for Ian Healy to let a difficult stumping chance go for four byes. It was the highest last-wicket partnership ever to win a Test, and Australia's wait for a victory in Pakistan went on...
1998
... for another four years. On this day in Rawalpindi, Steve Waugh set them up for that long-awaited win with one of his greatest innings. Australia were rocking on 28 for 3 in the first Test in reply to Pakistan's 269, when Waugh hit a brilliant 157. He added 198 for the fourth wicket with Michael Slater and so demoralised Pakistan that Australia went on to win the match by an innings and the series 1-0.
2017
When Sri Lanka's Dilruwan Perera had last man Yasir Shah caught superbly at short leg in the final session on day five of the first Test, in Abu Dhabi, it brought to an end a thriller, with Pakistan just 25 short of victory. Or so everyone thought - but it turned out Perera had bowled a no-ball, and so Pakistan hung in again, for all of six deliveries, before the old master Rangana Herath had Mohammad Abbas lbw to seal the deal properly. It was Herath's 400th Test wicket, Pakistan's first Test loss in ten Tests in Abu Dhabi, and Sri Lanka's first overseas Test win (other than in Zimbabwe) in three years. To think that they had been 101 for 8 in their second dig, earlier on the last day, heading for what looked like defeat.
1873
In Trinidad, Pelham Francis "Plum" Warner was born. He was the second man to carry his bat for England, when he made 132 on his Test debut, in Johannesburg in 1898-99, a match in which no other Englishman passed 30. He was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1904 and 1921, and was knighted in 1937 for services to cricket. A tribute in the Wisden Almanack said: "There have been many greater cricketers than Pelham Warner but none more devoted to the game." He was captain of Middlesex for 12 years, and in 1920 he led them to an unlikely Championship triumph. He founded the Cricketer magazine in 1921, and was also the manager of the controversial Bodyline tour of Australia in 1932-33. When he died in 1963, his ashes were scattered in front of the stand at Lord's that bears his name.
1939
The birth of a true allrounder. Indian "Budhi" Kunderan did a bit of everything: he was an exciting batsman, a more than competent wicketkeeper and an occasional medium-pacer. He batted at No. 1 and 11 in Tests; and he is one of a select few to open the batting and bowling in the same Test. He also frequently combined opening and keeping wicket, as he did when he made the highest score by an Indian wicketkeeper, 192 against England in Madras in 1963-64. But thanks mainly to the excellence of the mercurial Farokh Engineer, Kunderan only played 18 Tests. He died of lung cancer at the age of 66.
1986
A cricketer is born into a family of wrestlers. Praveen Kumar perennially looks like he wants to pile-drive batsmen, but instead he bowls medium pace, swings the ball both ways, and somehow gets wickets on flat Indian pitches. While he was always a regular member of India's limited-overs sides, there were doubts he would be effective in Tests until he chipped in with his swingers in West Indies and England in 2011. In England he was India's leading wicket-taker, with 15 wickets, despite missing a Test. He struggled with fitness and disciplinary issues thereafter and was dropped.
1997
A fast finish in Lahore. In the deciding third one-day international against India, Pakistan were set 217 to win in 49 overs but they used up barely half the quota, thrashing 219 for 1 in 26.2 overs. The usual suspects did the damage: Ijaz Ahmed hit 139 not out off 84 balls, with ten fours and nine sixes, while Shahid Afridi smote 47 off just 23 balls.
1965
Birth of that punishing allrounder Tom Moody, who went on to coach Sri Lanka, Western Australia and the IPL team Kings XI Punjab. It is a sign of Australia's omnipotence throughout the 1990s that Moody played only eight Tests. He was quickly typecast as a one-day man, and was a regular in the side that won the 1999 World Cup in England. Moody was also an outstanding performer at county level, and helped Worcestershire to the NatWest Trophy in 1994 with match-winning performances in the semi-final (180 not out v Surrey) and final (88 not out and 12-4-17-1 v his old county Warwickshire). Moody also broke a world record in Scotland in 1989 when he threw a haggis over 230 feet.
1961
The cruellest twist of fate awaited Alan Wells, who was born today, when he finally made his overdue Test debut in the sixth Test against West Indies in 1995. On an absolute belter at The Oval - 1369 runs were scored in the match for the loss of 22 wickets - Wells fended his first ball from Curtly Ambrose off his hip and straight to short leg. He made 3 not out in the second innings, but as happened to so many Oval debutants in the 1990s, he did not play again.
1884
If Wells got a rough deal, then what of Plum Lewis, the brilliant South African batsman who was born today? After a blistering 151 for Western Province against England in the opening match of the 1913-14 tour, Lewis was picked for the first Test in Durban. But in what proved to be his only Test he bagged a pair - c Woolley b Barnes in each innings - and was then severely wounded in the leg during the First World War. After that he was only able to play club cricket, and that required the aid of a runner.
1977
Dangerous middle-order batsman Justin Kemp, who was born today, was an attacker in the Lance Klusener mould. His 64-ball 73 against New Zealand in Bloemfontein established him as one of the biggest hitters in the game, and he was duly named Man of the Series. A couple of good innings in the Champions Trophy in late 2006 made way for Kemp's maiden ODI hundred, an awe-inspiring unbeaten 100 against India in Cape Town. But disappointing outings at the 2007 World Cup and the inaugural World T20 resulted in him being dropped.
1964
A devastating batting performance in a trial match in Johannesburg, where South Africa racked up 618 for 4 on the first day against the Rest of South Africa. There were hundreds for Colin Bland, Graeme Pollock, Tony Pithey and Denis Lindsay, and in the last 99 minutes' play Bland and Lindsay added a mind-blowing 267.

He was born very small. I didn’… Hi. I have a 3 day old pit bull puppy. He was born very small. I didn’t even know my female was pregnant. She was suppose to have been spayed but that’s something I will have to take up with the office that suppose to have done it. Anyways, the puppy at first was suckling fine from mom. Over the last couple of days it’s progressively gotten to where he will not even open his mouth to feed. I went and bought puppy formula, baby bottle, eye dropper and have been trying to get some food into him. He still will not eat. What else besides see a vet can I do? I’m very limited on funds right now because I had a work related injury and was off of work few days last week so no money for a vet.

You need to find a local breeder or rescuer with experience and you need to do it immediately. Put out a social media plea for help and call every local rescue and shelter to find someone who can help guide you on taking care of a puppy. They need to be kept warm and fed to start but other critically important things are disease and infection. Along with checking for birth defects that might prohibit growth. I wish you luck.

What is Locksport, Anyway?
Locksport is about the competitive picking of locks. You see, locks are just like mechanical puzzles. Our favorite saying is "picking locks is like doing a Rubik's cube in the dark" (Josh Nekrep, 2005). If you like puzzles, you'll love locksport.
Locksport features a need for knowledge and understanding of how the things around us work. When you consider a lock mechanism, you will need snap judgment when considering the lock's difficulty, the best tool, and the most viable approach. When it comes time to explore the innerworkings of the mechanism, it is only the slightest of touches and the most deft moves that will guide you.
No matter if you are interested in locks for the security knowledge or the pure thrill, L.I has something for you.

Pape Souare could be out for the season after being involved in a horrific car crash.
The Crystal Palace full back had to be airlifted to a hospital in east London when his Mercedes 4x4 was involved in a two-car collision on the M4 on Sunday.
The 26-year-old Senegal defender smashed into the central reservation near Heathrow Airport and firefighters had to cut the roof from the wrecked vehicle to rescue him. The driver of the other car was unhurt.
This is the moment footballer Pape Souare was pulled from the wreckage of his crashed car
A team of rescuers battled to free the Senegalese defender, who suffered head and leg injuries
The roof of the Mercedes was cut from it so rescuers to get to the 26-year-old
The mangled metal of the 4x4 was left at the side of the road following Sunday's incident
Palace manager Alan Pardew fears the player has broken his leg, which could rule him out for a large part of the season.
‘He's not in a good way in terms of football, I think he's broken his leg so maybe not so good.
'But thankfully he looks sound other than that, just a bit bashed up,’ Pardew told Sky Sports.
‘We’ll have to look after him and get him back as quickly as we can because he’s a great lad and it’s a big loss. It is a blow but, more importantly, it’s not as bad as it could have been.’
Souare has suffered a broken leg, according to his Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew
Pardew said he was thankful the incident was not as bad as it could have been
Police are looking for witnesses to the crash which happened just after midday on Sunday
CCTV images from the scene after the accident show one lane closed as emergency services deal with the debris and wreckage from the crash
The club said in a statement: ‘The player has sustained injuries to his thigh and jaw bone and will remain in hospital while he receives treatment. We obviously wish him a speedy recovery.’
Souare started the first three of Palace’s Premier League games this season but missed Saturday’s 2-1 win at Middlesbrough with a leg injury. | positive |

OPINION
AS THE photos began popping into my Facebook feed at the weekend of The Today Show team celebrating their ratings victory, I had a single thought.
Karl Stefanovic’s wife is going to crack it.
There was Karl in his hoody and trackies whooping it up in front of everyone — arms outstretched, his fingers in a victory “V”.
And so he should take pride in his success — no problem there. He’s a talented broadcaster and pivotal in the network’s change of fortunes.
But instantly I thought of Cassandra Thorburn, doubtless at home with the couple’s three kids. For her there would be no champagne, no herograms from the boss, no celebrations for a job well done.
Sure enough, Thorburn, who recently split from Stefanovic, has taken to Facebook to claim her role in her husband’s success. “Apparently Today Show finally won a year,” she said. “This took a huge toll on my family and I, and I’m congratulating myself today for all the effort that went into making that (the ratings) happen.”
She went on: “The suggestions, the story ideas, the constant counselling of questions for years. I’m giving myself a pat on the back tonight, as I know many people will also know how much effort I put into it.”
In that single outpouring is the reason why women should never give up their jobs.
I know, I know, some women want to stay at home and look after the kids and sometimes it’s the only way couples where one has a high-powered role can make it work.
But if you’re a woman in the 21st century, if you’ve gone to school and possibly university, and you’ve had a career before you married then for the love of your own self-worth hang on to your paid work in any way you can.
I wish Thorburn hadn’t posted her comments — a marriage breakup is hard enough on everyone, especially kids, without it becoming public fodder. But I can imagine how it feels to support your husband, to hold everything together at home, to accommodate the unpredictability of breaking news which means your partner constantly going away at a moment’s notice.
Where’s my champagne? She’d be thinking. Where’s my plaudits for all those times I went to ballet concerts and soccer matches and school prize givings because he wasn’t here? Where’s my prize for all the time they were sick, all the school notes that needing filling in, all the birthdays where Daddy was away so I had to do double the loving?
Stefanovic and Thorburn are a case study on why women have to hold on to their (paid) jobs.
Why? Because marriages are more fragile than ever, because women need to retain their financial agency (and build their superannuation), because it’s bloody hard to retain love, support and mutual respect when one person is paid for their efforts and the other isn’t.
Yes, it can work but so often under the surface there’s rumblings and resentment.
I’ve heard one working husband tell his stay-at-home wife that she spends too much of “his” money and I’ve heard of another forbidding his wife from upgrading the family car because “it’s his money, and so his decision”.
Likewise, I know women who withhold sex because they’re so angry with their husband having all the financial authority in the family. It’s their way of regaining control.
For women, the answer to the dilemma is twofold:
1. Marry the right person — ie. someone who’s prepared to value your work as highly as his.
2. Have the conversations about work long before you consider having kids.
Women working is not a women’s issue, it’s a family issue and should be addressed as such.
Yes, many women (and many men) do want to be at home raising their children but to let your career slide completely is foolhardy. It is entirely possible to be a great parent and retain a working life — what it requires is planning, compromise, workplace flexibility and a commitment from both individuals that their work and home lives have equal value.
Each will have periods of leaning in, just as each will have periods of leaning out.
How idealistic, I hear you thinking. Yes it is but it’s also an ideal worth fighting for.
Stefanovic’s colleagues Lisa Wilkinson and Georgie Gardner have shown how it can work. Both have seemingly stable marriages and husbands who work. When Wilkinson started at The Today Show, her husband Peter Fitzsimons was doing breakfast radio at 2UE but he gave it up so his wife could “lean in” to her career.
As he said: “I discovered that a family can cope with having two parents out of bed at 3.30am, but it cannot flourish. And we as a family, no fault of my kids, we weren’t flourishing, we were coping.”
Likewise Gardner. When she was on The Today Show she had every Monday off. I remember her telling me that one day off made everything work. She made up the hours by reading the news on Friday and Saturday evenings. Clearly her husband covered at home.
Stefanovic has said that his wife earned double what he earned when they first met. He jokingly called her his “sugar mumma”. He’s also spoken of his gratitude that she stopped her career to support his. They’re both good people and they clearly wanted the best for their family.
But if they’d made different calls — if she’d insisted on keeping her job part-time, if he’d negotiated a contract that gave him longer holidays out of ratings periods or Fridays off — then maybe they’d have maintained the mutual respect that’s so essential to a partnership.
Maybe there could’ve been “his years” and “her years” — times when each worked hard while the other did more at home. Sure, he may have earned more but money is not harmony. It’s only one element in a happy life.
The final reason to keep working is because it gets you through. Yes, raising kids is important but so is the esteem garnered from being paid for what you do.
What’s more, when a marriage does end, your job can be a panacea to the awfulness of your own heart breaking. | positive |
The BlackBerry Z10 is widely considered to be a make-or-break device for the smartphone maker formerly known as RIM, after watching its stronghold on the enterprise weaken in recent years.
The reasons for this have been well-documented, and were also the subject of an extensive feature by IT Pro around the time of the Z10’s release back in January.
According to various industry watchers, the firm hasn’t been innovative enough and – as a result – found itself touting business-focused devices at a time when its rivals, Apple and Samsung, have been reaping the benefits of the consumerisation of IT trend.
At the BlackBerry Experience Forum (BEF) in London earlier this week, the company shed some light on how the Z10 has fared in the business market so far.
The company claims UK sales of the Z10 were higher than any other smartphone it has previously launched, and that over half of Phones 4U stores in the UK sold out of stock within three days of it going on sale.
There has been a noticeable shift in the way industry analysts are talking about BlackBerry 10.
Business benefits
BEF is the first of many events the firm is holding across Europe over the next couple of weeks, as it strives to impose on users the business benefits of its BlackBerry 10 devices, operating system and enterprise server.
During the opening keynote, Rob Orr, managing director of BlackBerry in the UK and Ireland, said the enterprise market was part of the firm’s “past, present and future”, before going on to talk up the enduring popularity of its products with the business community.
“In the UK, we’re the mobile solution of choice for 95 of the FTSE 100 companies, all major government departments and over half of all police forces,” he said.
“There has been a noticeable shift in the way industry analysts are talking about BlackBerry 10. This positive reaction extends to our business customers as well.
“Today over 100 of our UK customers...are using BB10. BT, Aviva, the Co-Operative group [and] Centrica, to name but a few,” he added.
However, during a briefing with the press, Jeff Holleran, senior director of enterprise product management at BlackBerry, admitted the firm’s devices have fallen out of favour as users have come to expect more from their mobile phones.
“In years past, the word BlackBerry became synonymous with this dumb email terminal, whereas we had devices [from other manufacturers] in the company that ran Twitter and Facebook and had great camera applications, for example,” he said.
This was a theme touched on again during one of the security-focused breakout sessions at BEF by Danny Sanok, manager of enterprise product management at BlackBerry.
During the session he said BlackBerry devices used to have a reputation among business users for being highly secure but tightly “locked down”. And this has allowed its rivals to encroach on its turf in the enterprise.
“One of the things we noticed in the past with BlackBerry devices was, no matter...if you have a user who got one for Christmas or bought it themselves from a retail store, when they brought it into work...[IT departments] still lock them down and put IT policies on them,” he said.
“Sometimes what we hear from end users is, I like BlackBerry, but I want an iPhone because I don’t want the corporate guys to lock it down for me.”
One of the reasons why BlackBerry devices have proven so popular in the enterprise, particularly with firms in the legal and financial services markets, is because of their security features, but – as the firm’s execs have hinted – it’s also proven to be a sticking point with users.
This is an issue the company hopes to address with the Z10's new BYOD-friendly BlackBerry Balance feature, which allows corporate and personal data to be partitioned on the same device.
“We hope by opening this up, it’ll give users more of a motivation...to buy BlackBerry devices,” Sanok added.
The right balance
Any data stored or used by apps in the corporate workspace of the Z10 is encrypted, and prevented from leaking into the personal section of the device.
This means, when someone leaves the company and takes the device with them, the IT department can remotely wipe the corporate data off the Z10 without harming any of the owner’s personal content.
Samsung recently announced plans to bring a similar system called Knox to selected Android handsets later this year.
Like Balance, Knox separates business and personal information on the device and looks set to offer users access to enterprise-focused tools, such as email, file-sharing and calendars.
Speaking to IT Pro at BEF, Michael Brown, vice president of security product management and research at BlackBerry, said the firm isn’t fazed at the prospect of its rivals bringing Balance-like tools to market.
“We have an acute focus on secure design [at BlackBerry] and that means building security into how we create products from the very beginning...if you try to do it as an add-on later, it doesn’t work because security is often about the details...[and] ensuring you've done everything right at every stage of the design, implementation and testing,” he said.

An afternoon with Geoffrey Kent - NEWS.MC Business Banking Finance Real Estate Yachting & Maritime Events Living Culture Environment Law & Order Luxury Monte Carlo Woman Motoring Obituaries Travel News Press Releases Sport Football Motorsport Select Page An afternoon with Geoffrey Kent Posted by Martina Brodie | Feb 4, 2022 | Living I was really excited to interview Geoffrey Kent. So excited that I missed his building, took the wrong turn and found myself in the wrong part of the country. It took millions of stairs to get back to where he lives. I was late and mortified. The irony is not lost on me. Geoffrey Kent, the worldwide travel pioneer, a travel expert and founder of Abercrombie & Kent, the award-winning luxury travel company, has so far travelled some 18 million miles in 159 countries – a lot of it in some of the wildest corners of the planet. He currently owns a “wonderful ranch and a place on the beach” in Brazil, a house in Kenya – Flavio Briatore is a neighbour, a house in London, but his base and what he calls home for the past 14 years is in Monaco. The weather, the safety and the fact that his five-year-old twins are happy at the local school here makes a lot of difference. “Where else would you go?” Mr Kent admits he has spent the entire morning on various zoom meetings with some of the 56 offices around the globe. The empire which now employs over 2,500 people was built from scratch when in 1962 together with his parents he founded their travel company with the intent to host safaris around Kenya, and possibly move into other areas of East Africa. The business has grown beyond everybody’s imagination, but possibly not his. The crisis of the last two years has only underlined its strength. “Abercrombie & Kent was actually built for this period of time,” says Geoffrey Kent, while sipping his espresso. “Way back we were the first to do individual, tailor-made personal travel. All along we had top tour counsellors to take care of you – knowing all your background, what you want, what you don’t want and we have been out in all the places, so actually we are made for what is happening now and we are able to accommodate the strictest demands of our clients with private planes, private yachts, safari camps, respecting their space and privacy.” It takes two years from the idea to completion of an itinerary for Geoffrey Kent’s Inspiring Expeditions. These are designed for small exclusive groups, led by Geoffrey himself, and usually operate only once. Dreaming them up is his favourite part. This year’s trips started to take shape in 2020, during the most strict lockdowns – which, for a constant mover, was a challenge. Planning the expeditions kept him sane. This personal touch, being personally involved, making sure everybody is well looked after and has, at all times, a person to call in case of need is a crucial part of the service. A lot of his exclusive clients have his mobile number on speed dial. He recalls – with a chuckle – one Christmas Day not that long ago, a call from a client who had just landed in the Seychelles in a private jet: “I am so sorry to bother you, Geoffrey, but how much should I tip the porter?” We have a good laugh. One of the million anecdotes he entertains his guests with. For many regulars a lot of the time the only condition for booking a spot is: “Is Geoffrey coming?” People, it seems, are ready to travel again. “My around-the-world trip is sold out now – there is not one seat left. The other trips are 70 percent sold out and this is only down to Covid uncertainties and the constantly changing rules and regulations.” I wonder if the luxury industry is immune to crises like a pandemic simply because the clients are very wealthy? “Anybody with money wants value for money, they don’t care what they spend – this is almost irrelevant. I think what everybody wants today is some excitement. To experience the unknown. We focus on life-changing experiences. Travel is the only thing you buy that leaves you feeling richer. Luxury for me is a great adventure. An £800 bottle of wine does not excite me much, a trip to the South Pole or diving with sharks on the other hand….” The holy grail for explorers, the South Pole, was on Geoffrey Kent’s wish list for a long time. He was able to accomplish it during his trip on December 15, 2018 – 107 years and two days after Roald Amundsen became the first person to stand there. The same trip to the South Pole with overnight camping on the high polar plateau – one of the most remote camping sites on Earth – is now part of Inspiring Expeditions by Geoffrey Kent, a 12-day adventure for 12 people only, planned for December 2022. “All of these trips of mine have an element of danger – so I always do it first – preferably solo – and I try to take the danger out… First I do it mentally – you can eliminate most of the danger through an amazing guide, a top, top guide and by having the best equipment. When I then plan a trip for clients, I don’t try to save money, I spend even more money and make sure the trip is as perfect and as safe as possible.” There was only one trip where clients didn’t follow. In 2004 when A&K operated trips on each continent, Geoffrey Kent set out to explore the edge of space. “There is no way to know what the final frontier holds for my business without trying it out myself.” He was asked to deposit £2,000 in the event “it is necessary to fly the body back to the country of origin” and without telling a soul he boarded an English Electric Lightning – the supersonic British Fighter jet – in Cape Town’s site for military jet flights. “That was hairy!”, remembers Geoffrey, “We shoot off vertically from zero to forty thousand feet in one minute and then, after three loops we climbed to sixty-five thousand feet and accelerated to the full speed of Mach 2.2 until we were looking at the purple curvature of the Earth.” With relief, not disappointment, he concludes that A&K Space never took off. The pilot David Stock was killed only months later while the same plane was at full speed in flight. Geoffrey Kent was incredibly lucky. In his memoir Safari he writes: “Starting A&K Space was one of my most audacious enterprises, but a good leader knows when to pull the plug.” Born a survivor, during a safari in Northern Rhodesia (later to become the independent country of Zambia), he fell very ill and was rushed to hospital in Nairobi by chartered plane. The surgery performed by a Kenyan doctor saved his life. And what a life this has been so far. A fearless boy growing in the Kenyan wilderness, a pioneer at heart, 17-year-old Geoffrey set off on a trip from Nairobi to Cape Town by motorbike – a mere 3,000 miles. He was the first person to complete the journey. The five-month trip not only whet his appetite for adventure, he realised when he had the opportunity to stay in a 5-star hotel during this journey that what he wanted was a life of exciting adventures by day, security and luxury by night. “I thought, ‘I could live like this forever'”. When Abercrombie & Kent started – apropos there is no Abercrombie, but it sounds grand and put the company at the top of the listing in the yellow pages – Geoffrey, inspired by his time at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, invented the slogan “Shoot with a camera not with a gun” and is credited with introducing the first luxury photographic African Safari. A&K soon became the first East African mobile tented safari with refrigeration – this upgrade took place while 20 year-old Geoffrey almost wiped out the company’s bank account while his parents were holidaying elsewhere and… had no idea. From Africa, the company grew globally, pioneering exciting trips to Egypt, China, Antarctica, the Amazon… They were also the first ever company to introduce travel by private jet with The Royal Air Tour in 1989. Geoffrey Kent aboard A&K’s private Jet Geoffrey Kent became a well-known personality but he credits his fame to one thing only: Polo. “Playing polo was the original passport – Winston Churchill said: ‘Anybody with a two goal handicap will have a passport to the world.’ You may travel anywhere you want to go. And I did and met everybody.” Kent was a player as Captain of the Rolex/Abercrombie & Kent polo team, winning the U.S. Open Polo Championship twice. He served as captain and patron of the Windsor Park polo team of His Royal Highness Prince Charles, winning most of the major trophies in England. A near-fatal accident in 1996 meant the end of the successful Polo career. “I went cold turkey, sold horses and never played it again.” For a long time he could never bring himself to watch it either. After the accident he put all his energy into the company. “Abercrombie & Kent is like a Polo game for me now: exciting, as much danger taken out as we can, but we still keep it on the edge. And like Polo, it’s all about anticipation. You go where the ball will be not where the ball is.” At the age of 79 he is still planning and dreaming up new adventures, but what he wakes up for each morning he tells me are his two children, Valerie and Geoffrey Jr. who have just returned from school and happily greet their daddy. Valerie asks me to close my eyes and presents me with a baby doll; later she asks me to look after it for a moment which may look ridiculous but sitting in Geoffrey Kent’s sitting room full of toys and interviewing him with the baby doll in my lap feels totally natural. “This is actually the best time to be a father. You have got lots of time! When I was first married I had nothing – I had a Land Rover, 100 pounds and a business to grow, now I am happily playing football with my kids and I tell you: They keep me young!” The happy family chatter all around me means it’s time to go. I am given Geoffrey’s book, his memoir, Safari, which I will keep reading long into the early hours. When I open it the dedication reads: “When was the last time you did something for the first time?” Armenia, Garni Temple, Geoffrey Kent Share: PreviousMulti-million euro Ferrari Enzo destroyed in Netherlands NextMonte-Carlo Diary: Unmasked at Monte-Carlo Bay Related Posts Multi-million euro Ferrari Enzo destroyed in Netherlands February 3, 2022 Meet the ‘Bolide’, the most bonkers Bugatti yet November 6, 2020 Ambassador tells of Monaco’s many initiatives in fighting climate crisis September 3, 2019 Monte-Carlo Diary: More nonsense at Carrefour December 3, 2021 Latest Stories Monte-Carlo Diary: When missing the 110 means missing the flight Sep 23, 2022 | News Commuters increasingly opt for carpooling Sep 23, 2022 | Travel SBM’s fortunes rebound, but staffing remains an issue Sep 23, 2022 | Business, News Stéphane Valeri quits as President of National Council Sep 23, 2022 | News Macron says he wants to make it easier to build renewable energy projects in France Sep 22, 2022 | News Stunning photo expo at Monaco Monte-Carlo station Sep 22, 2022 | Culture {{current_weather.dt | momentjs( atts.date )}} {{current_weather.temp | temp}} °{{units}} {{day.dt | momentjs(atts.date)}} {{day.temp | temp}} °{{day.temp_min | temp}} °{{units}} {{current_weather.temp | temp}} ° Humidity: {{current_weather.humidity}}% Clouds: {{current_weather.clouds}}% Wind ({{current_weather.wind.deg}}): {{current_weather.wind.speed}}{{units_wind}} {{current_weather.desc}} {{day.dt | momentjs(atts.date)}} {{day.temp | temp}}° {{day.temp_min | temp}} ° Newsletter Good Morning Monaco Join our free mailing list and receive top stories from and about Monaco every weekday.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah). (Michael Reynolds/European Pressphoto Agency)
One can only marvel at the toadyism of House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) — who previously recommended gutting the ethics office — in demanding a full-scale investigation by the Justice Department inspector general into leaks but resolutely resisting any investigation into President Trump’s breached hotel lease, his conflicts of interest, his ties with Russia and his recent receipt of a trademark from China — just after reaffirming the One China policy — which is indisputably an “emolument” from a foreign government.
In their letter the congressmen proclaimed: “The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is the principal oversight committee of the House of Representatives and may ‘at any time’ investigate ‘any matter’ as set forth in House Rule X.” (For the Oversight Committee Rule X specifies that its jurisdiction includes such matters as “Federal civil service, including intergovernmental personnel; and the status of officers and employees of the United States, including their compensation, classification, and retirement . . . . [And] overall economy, efficiency, and management of government operations and activities.” It also includes “Government management and accounting measures generally.” But in Chaffetz’s mind, the one thing it does not include is any meaningful oversight of a Republican administration.
[Why Trump’s rant over leaks won’t help him]
In response to this farcical dereliction of duty, ranking Democrat Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (Md.) said in a written statement, “Chairman Chaffetz appears to be taking his marching orders directly from President Trump’s tweet yesterday — instead of investigating General Flynn’s lies and his troubling ties with Russia, he chose to target those who brought them to light.” Cummings added: “Congress should be doing independent oversight of the Executive Branch and protecting whistleblowers, not running interference while the White House conceals their abuses and misleads the American people for weeks. Chairman Chaffetz said he didn’t want to go on ‘fishing expeditions’, but that’s exactly what he’s doing here.”
Chaffetz likely won’t be interested in another foreign influence issue either — this one involving China. The Associated Press reports:
The government of China awarded U.S. President Donald Trump valuable rights to his own name this week, in the form of a 10-year trademark for construction services.– The registration became official on Feb. 14 and was published in a trademark registration announcement on the website of China’s Trademark Office on Wednesday. This may well be the first foreign trademark to be handed to Trump during his presidency, but is unlikely to be the last. In China alone he has 49 pending trademark applications and 77 marks already registered in his own name, most of which will come up for renewal during his term. Critics say Trump’s global intellectual property interests could be used by foreign states as leverage over the president and may violate the emoluments clause of the U.S. Constitution, which bars public servants from accepting anything of value from foreign governments unless explicitly approved by Congress. These concerns are particularly sharp in China, where the courts and bureaucracy reflect the will of the ruling Communist Party. The registration this week came as a surprise win for Trump after a decade of trying — and failing — to wrest the rights to his name back from a man named Dong Wei. The abrupt turn in Trump’s bureaucratic fortunes once he declared his candidacy has raised questions about the extent to which his political status may be helping his family business.
[What do you do if you find yourself working for the most dishonest administration in history?]
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) got a frosty reception in his home state on Feb. 9, at a town hall. Angry constituents packed a high school auditorium, grilled the high-ranking congressman with questions and peppered him with boos and chants while protesters amassed outside. (Jenny Starrs/The Washington Post)
Norman Eisen, an ethics guru who has already filed one lawsuit against the president, tells me: “I have reviewed the troubled history of Trump’s efforts to secure Chinese trademark protection in the A.P. report. I doubt the abrupt about-face by the Chinese authorities was because they suddenly determined that his legal case had merit. It appears instead to be a not very subtle effort to influence him by giving him a very large and very valuable gift of these trademarks.” Eisen explained: “Presents from foreign governments ‘of any kind whatever’ are of course expressly forbidden by the foreign emoluments clause. Americans would be right to wonder whether this will have any effect on Trump’s positions relative to China, including whether he can be trusted to stanch the loss of American jobs to that country.”
In contrast with Senate Republicans, who seem to have perked up and see legitimate grounds for at least investigating Trump’s Russia ties, Chaffetz remains a Trump enabler, blocking essential investigation of raging scandals. So long as the Senate plunges ahead, however, the real damage here is to Chaffetz, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and the GOP majority. If the GOP won’t do basic oversight on the biggest scandal to hit the White House in decades, why not put the Democrats in charge? | positive |

Anka Martin lives the spirit of mountain bike adventure as she competes in any and all types of MTB racing across the globe. In between races, she and her photographer husband, Sven, are constantly in search of new riding adventures, so listen closely as Anka lays down a handful of her all-time favorite riding locations.
When asked to list my top 5 all-time favorite rides, my first reaction was, "ah, that’ll be easy," but once I actually sat down to start writing about them, I realized just how challenging this was going to be. It is like when someone asks you what your favorite food is, or what your favorite tunes are. There is no one answer for these kinds of questions. It all depends on the time, the place, the mood, the riding crew and the emotional frame of mind that you may be in to answer these types of questions. Therefore I have elaborated a little bit (and have been a touch vague), about my favorite five.
I have been very fortunate to spend the last 10-plus-years riding and racing my bike in, and across, some of the most spectacular parts of the world. For the most part, those rides have all been very memorable, but the trails and locations listed below carry some very special memories, shared with some amazing friends, and that is what makes a great ride even greater.
Scotland
Scotland is stunning. It looks a little bit like parts of New Zealand, but with a wee Scottish twist. I love the Scots, I love the whiskey and mushy peas and I love the hairy highland cows you see out on the tracks – oh, and the trails are amazing, too. We rode up in the Scottish highlands this year, near a town called Ballater in Royal Deeside. The Cairngorms were amazing, with varied terrain, stunning views, peats and bogs, and the sun was shining. Every time we’ve ridden in Scotland, the weather has been just fine, making it a perfect biking destination in my opinion, and I’m not even talking about any of the trail centres here.
Lake Garda and Finale, Italy
Lake Garda has always been one of my favorites. It has this magical, holiday summer feel to it while the rest of Europe is still thawing out and waiting for summer. As soon as you get to the lake, the pace of life slows down. You swim, you eat – copious amounts of amazing Italian food, wine, Limóncello and gelato – you ride and repeat.We always try to make time for a few days out there in-between the race season, to slow down a bit, to re-charge and to actually enjoy the summer weather, as it is usually raining everywhere we go – guaranteed. Once again it is a time where friends get to hang out and catch up away from the working environment and races.The riding is insane. You catch a gondola to the top of the mountain, grab one last shot of espresso, then climb up to the top of another mountain for an hour and a half, grab a beer at the refuge of course, then start heading down for an hour and a half of downhill. Dry, loose, rough, rocky and relentless and the views are magical. Even in the rain, the tracks are awesome. You just have to hang on and let go. It hammers your bike and body as you smash through the rocks, but your reward for making it to the bottom is jumping into that shimmering lake that you catch glimpses of on the way down. After your dip in the lake, you're tasting and cheers-ing that ice cold radler with your mates and scarfing down a delicious pizza – all set amongst the most picturesque, medieval, history-clad Italian village. To top it off (or take the top off), the boys never mind checking out the topless Italian ladies lounging on the beaches either. It's safe to say there aren't too many places in the world where a bike ride ends with titties.
I finally made my way out to Finale, Italy, this past summer, and man, that little Italian seaside village crept into my heart very quickly. The trails were absolutely amazing, and the setting, the medieval towns, the restaurants and the laid back attitude of the locals made this one of the best riding destinations that I’ve been to. The fact that you can jump into the sea after riding sick trails doesn’t hurt either. Definitely a place I want to return, as we’ve only scratched the riding's surface. That town and its surrounding areas are littered with tracks and trails everywhere. The three C’s, culture, cuisine and challenging trails, Finale delivers.
Backcountry Nelson and Craigieburn Forest, New Zealand
Man, I could write a book about the amazing trails out here in New Zealand. There are so many trails listed in the guide books, which are all amazing in their own special way, but there are just as many unknown, out-there trails around that you can go exploring for days on end. Thanks to the locals for sharing these nuggets with us. You see, NZ has this amazing backcountry hut system from back in the day when the pioneers were gold mining. These old huts are scattered all over the country, usually placed way back in the remote whop whops (middle of nowhere), that you can ride in to and sleep over. This opens up a whole new world of riding, as you can get further away from civilization, deeper into the native bush and experience a wilder side of the country (as if NZ isn’t remote enough already).
Don’t think for one moment that it is easy going, smooth, singletrack type riding. It is rugged and technical, but with incredible flow, and that is what gives it that special charm. It's as if the old gold miners knew we were going to use them someday. Most of today’s trail builders can learn a thing or two from these pack tracks built back in the day. This kind of riding is really exciting to me, partly because it is a new experience, as you have to take your overnight gear and food in a pack with you and be prepared for pretty much anything and everything. The huts are small, and most of the remote structures are first come, first serve, so you just hope that you don’t have to spend the night outside with the dreaded sand flies.
One of the epic trails out in Golden Bay is called The Kill Devil track with its 58 switchbacks and screaming singletrack all the way to Waingaro Forks hut, where you can camp overnight and feel like a real adventurer. As I said before, there are too many epic trails to list under this category, but every time we ride another new track out here, they become new favorites.
Another amazing place (pretty much in the middle of nowhere) is the Craigieburn forest. People have been raving about these trails ever since we moved out here, and after finally getting to ride them, I too will be raving about them. I think we hit the singletrack heaven jackpot out there. The scenery was just spectacular. Dramatic “Mordor” mountain vistas, tussock grasses, dracophyllem flats (Dr. Seuss trees), stunning beech forests beyond belief, the tackiest dirt, slippery roots, exposed scree slopes, perfect bench cut singletrack, no people, no cell phone reception, no hype. Just stunning landscapes and amazing trails that you can connect up and over mountains, valleys, spurs and hills for days on end. There are many options and loops to ride, but the best way to experience this place is to go camping out there, grab a map and go exploring.
Provence and France in General
The riding in France is just insane. Everyone knows that. Trails that spring to mind are the Alpe d’Huez tracks that the infamous MegAvalanche races down, the Les Deux Alpes tracks famous for the Mountain of Hell race, Morzine, Chatel, Les Arcs, Meribel, the list of amazing trails to ride in France is seemingly endless, but some of my ultimate favorites lie in the big, rugged, still-relatively-unknown mountains of Provence. Yes, Provence of all places, where most people just imagine gentle, lavender field hills and fancy retreat villas. But man oh man, is that a delusional picture.
Thanks to the amazing Trans Provence race, I have explored, and ridden, some of the best, most technical and rugged trails ever. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine Provence to have such big mountains, with little remote villages and endless singletrack trails. Trails with the names such as Donkey Darko, Champ Long, Grey Earth, Lantosque, Granges de Cous - the list goes on and on. And those are just a sampling of what this region has to offer. Imagine how many other amazing trails there must be just waiting to be discovered.
Next time you head to France for some riding, give Morzine or the other *famous* places a skip and go and ride something new, raw and off the beaten track. You can also sign up for one of the guided trips that Trans Provence offers, to ride them all.
Cape Verde Islands, Atlantic Ocean
This is not your typical riding destination and it is not easy to access, but I was fortunate enough to be invited to this archipelago of islands located in the central Atlantic Ocean, 500+ km off the coast of Western Africa, to race one of Fabien Barel’s URGE invitational events. The event featured several races on different islands, all to raise money for the local schools and to experience new cultures and countries.
These islands were just spectacular and the pack tracks and donkey trails we raced and rode down were just unreal in terms of scenery and ruggedness, with death-defying exposure sections and dizzying heights everywhere. This was my first taste of pure, blind trail riding and racing, and I absolutely loved the thrill and adventure of it. That trip is what fueled my desire to race more enduro events and it brought the adventure back to biking for me after many years of just chasing points at various DH races. That feeling of not having a clue where the trail is going, or what obstacles may appear, or how the hell you have are going to race to the bottom of the Fogo volcano you just hiked up to for hours on end is what got me fired up to compete and ride my bike again. That sense of adventure and challenge, along with the camaraderie you build up with the people you share these adventures with, is really the essence of riding bikes and the reason that I am so hopelessly and passionately in love with riding my bike. As it's been said before, it's not the destination, but rather the journey that is important. -Anka

Hurricane Sandy pushed into view echelons of working-class New Yorkers normally hidden behind workplace walls or in obscure neighborhoods, or made invisible by familiarity and indifference. There, suddenly center stage, was the old, heavily Catholic, white working class. Some of the most devastated parts of the city, like Breezy Point and Gerritsen Beach, seemed frozen in time, neighborhoods of Irish- and Italian-American policemen, firefighters, blue-collar workers and politicians, still reflecting a New York dominated by European immigrants and their children. As on 9/11, heroic rescue efforts by the Fire Department exposed how white and male it has remained, even as the city’s population has become ever more diverse.
Newer immigrants, too, were thrust into the spotlight, like Philippines-born Menchu de Luna Sanchez, one of the nurses who carried sick infants down pitch-black stairways when flooding forced the evacuation of New York University’s Langone Medical Center. President Obama hailed her in his State of the Union address. Even much poorer New Yorkers received attention, like the thousands of public housing residents stranded for days and sometimes weeks in high-rise buildings without power, heat, water or elevator service. On the Upper East Side of Manhattan, undamaged by the storm, well-heeled dads and moms found themselves in the unaccustomed position of trying to amuse their housebound children for hours on end, as the low-paid, immigrant child-minders who pour into wealthy neighborhoods each morning were themselves trapped at home.
New York, at least numerically, has long been a working-class city. Today, there are far fewer manufacturing workers than a generation or two ago and many more service workers, far fewer immigrants from Europe and many more from Asia and Central America. But perhaps the biggest change is that workers and their families are less socially visible than in the past, except when disaster hits or conflicts break out—like Sandy or the school bus drivers’ strike earlier this year. Increasingly, the image of the city as the home to great wealth or layabout hipsters (sometimes, as on Girls, living off their parents’ bank accounts) has camouflaged the struggle of middle- and lower-income New Yorkers simply to get by.

Trouble Beneath the Surface
At first glance, workers in New York, compared with most of the country, are doing well. At the start of last year, nationally only a third of the jobs lost to the Great Recession had been regained, but New York City had already bounced back to its pre-recession employment level. In December 2012, the city had more than 3.9 million jobs, the most ever. And more of those jobs were unionized than almost anywhere else. A recent report by Ruth Milkman and Laura Braslow, put out by the City University of New York’s Joseph S. Murphy Institute and its Center for Urban Research, found that more than 22 percent of NYC workers belonged to a union, nearly twice the national level. With its huge mass transit system, government-regulated rents, low-cost public university, large public hospital system, generous Medicaid program, and sprawling network of government and nonprofit social services, New York provides working families with a set of benefits and opportunities few cities can match.
But scratch a little and things do not look so good. During the recession, the city had big job losses in relatively well-paid sectors, including government, construction, manufacturing, finance and insurance, and wholesale trade. The biggest gains since then have been in low-paid industries: restaurants, retail trade and home healthcare. Between July 2008 and July 2012, New York City had a net loss of nearly 60,000 jobs paying $45,000 a year or more, while gaining more than 130,000 jobs paying less than $45,000 [see chart, page 18]. The changing mix contributed to a nearly 8 percent drop in real median wage earnings between 2008 and 2011. An analysis by Hofstra University economists Gregory DeFreitas and Bhaswati Sengupta suggests that many newly created jobs have gone to commuters, exacerbating the difficulty city dwellers face in getting good jobs. For residents of the five boroughs, the official unemployment rate in February was 9.1 percent, well over the national level of 7.7 percent. Though New York is festooned with displays of luxury, its median household income is below the national median and falling. In 2011, 21 percent of New Yorkers lived in poverty, compared with 16 percent nationally.
The public services that generations of New Yorkers fought for are frayed, or worse. In the face of chronic government underfunding, CUNY has turned to raising tuition to balance its budget, increasing student costs (for those without scholarships) by nearly a third over a five-year period. The MTA just hiked bus and subway fares. Public housing is in such miserable shape after cuts in federal support and inattention by the city that the backlog of repairs has reached two years, with moldy walls, leaking ceilings, no heat and chronically broken elevators commonplace. Portuguese photographer Ana Brigida, who documented public housing conditions during a visit to New York, told The New York Times, “Sometimes you just can’t believe that people live like that…. How a place can actually be so destroyed.”

Low wage industries are those whose annual average wage is below $45,000. Middle wage industries have annual wages of $45,000-$75,000. High wage industries are those whose annual average wage is above $75,000.
Shrinking union power has contributed to the slip in living standards and public services. While union density in the city remains high by national standards, it has fallen by 13 percent since the mid-1980s, when more than 35 percent of New York workers carried a union card. All of the recent decline has been in the private sector, where now less than 13 percent of the workforce is unionized. Some of the membership drop came in industries like manufacturing, where total employment fell, but much of it occurred in sectors like wholesale and retail trade and leisure and hospitality, where employment has been rising.

Unions Lose Their Stride
The recent strike by 8,800 school bus drivers and matrons exposed the weakness of organized labor in New York. Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s desire to lower the cost of transporting students by rebidding the city’s contracts with bus companies set off the conflict. Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1181 wanted the city to require the bidders to accept a provision it won after a three-month strike in 1979, mandating that new vendors hire the employees of the losing bidders according to seniority, thus providing its members with job security. The city refused, saying a recent court decision would make doing so illegal. In response, the workers called a strike, a rarity these days in a metropolis where walkouts were once so common that, in 1968, labor reporter A.H. Raskin dubbed it “Strike City” in a New York Times Magazine story. This time, however, the mayor refused to budge; bus companies began recruiting replacement workers; and the strikers’ health insurance ran out. After four weeks, the union threw in the towel, returning to work with only a fig leaf to cover its defeat: a pledge by the leading Democratic candidates likely to replace Bloomberg that, if elected, they would protect the job security, wages and benefits of the bus workers. In late March, the companies informed the employees—who still lack a contract—that they will be imposing a 7.5 percent pay cut, eliminating pay during the Christmas and Easter school breaks, and requiring larger contributions for health insurance.
The striking bus union had some particular disadvantages. Linked to organized crime until federal prosecutors stepped in, it had weak ties to other unions and failed to build community or political support before the walkout. The lukewarm backing from organized labor suggests a larger problem. The big unions that dominate New York labor, like the building service workers (SEIU Local 32BJ), healthcare workers (1199SEIU), United Federation of Teachers and electrical workers (IBEW Local 3), have an unstated confidence that they can rely on their own power to defend themselves. The very success of organized labor in New York makes it act less like a movement than it does elsewhere. Vinny Alvarez, the president of the New York City Central Labor Council, thinks that situation is changing, as the big local unions—as large in membership and capacity as some national unions—“realize that as smaller unions get annihilated, in the end it will expose them.” The bus strike could be a wake-up call.
In recent years, power has been draining out of even some of the strongest New York unions. In the construction, hotel and communications industries—longtime union strongholds—nonunion operations have carved out big niches. In the public sector, too, unions have been weakened, as Bloomberg has taken a hard line opposing pay boosts. One municipal union after another has decided to avoid open battle, hoping for a friendlier successor and a more hospitable fiscal environment. Every one of the city’s 152 union contracts has expired (though under state law their terms remain in effect until new agreements are reached). The stalling tactic—“recognition we don’t have anyone on the other side to negotiate with,” as Arthur Cheliotes, head of a local that represents thousands of city administrative workers, terms it—might ultimately pay off, but it seems unlikely that city employees will ever make up the losses they have suffered from frozen wages while living costs have kept rising. As unions wait out the clock, their members have become demobilized. With so few private sector unionists to ally with, the once mighty municipal unions are ill-prepared if some future mayor or governor decides to launch a Wisconsin-style attack on them.

A Cold Climate for Organizing
The revitalization of the New York labor movement requires organizing private sector workers, and lots of them. That’s a heavy lift. An effort by the Communications Workers of America to unionize Cablevision has been what Bob Master, a union official, called “a textbook example of how difficult it is to organize.” A year ago, nearly 300 technicians and dispatchers in Brooklyn—almost all African-American or Caribbean—voted to unionize, only to have the company spurn serious bargaining. In January, it fired twenty-two workers for requesting a meeting with managers. After seven weeks of pressure from the union, community groups and local politicians, Cablevision rehired the workers, but a contract is nowhere in sight.
At least the CWA is trying. Ed Ott, former executive director of the Central Labor Council, sees no “culture of organizing in the labor movement of New York.”
A few innovative efforts are under way, targeting low-wage workers in jobs that cannot be relocated. The Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (part of the United Food and Commercial Workers) won recognition votes last fall for workers at five car washes, an industry notorious for low wages, long hours, unsafe conditions, and violations of wage and hour laws [see Lizzy Ratner’s article on TheNation.com]. SEIU Local 32BJ, which already represents 15,000 security guards from Connecticut to Washington, DC, has been organizing low-paid security workers at New York–area airports. Fast Food Forward, backed by the national SEIU and community and civil rights groups, led a one-day walkout during the holiday season at Wendy’s and other restaurant chains, demanding higher pay and better conditions, and staged another in early April.
The militancy and innovative tactics of these normally invisible workers have provided labor with a much-needed charge, but the resources involved and the gains so far have been modest. Any transformative effort—like a push to organize bank employees tied to a campaign against bank lending and fee practices, promoted by Stephen Lerner before he was forced out of the SEIU leadership—would require a much greater commitment of money and political clout.
Ott thinks the greatest promise for reviving labor may lie with nontraditional worker organizations like the Taxi Workers Alliance, which represents nominally self-employed cabdrivers in their dealings with government regulatory agencies and the companies from whom they lease their cars; Domestic Workers United, an organization of Caribbean, Latin and African caregivers and housekeepers, which won a major victory in 2010 when the state legislature passed the Domestic Workers’ Bill of Rights, mandating overtime, vacation pay and protection against sexual harassment for workers previously uncovered by labor law; and the Restaurant Opportunities Center, which charged some high-profile restaurants, like Mario Batali’s Del Posto, with labor law violations and won. But as impressive as these well-publicized groups are, their gains have been limited and, except for the taxi workers, their dues-paying memberships small.
Worker alliances, some traditional unions, community groups like Make the Road New York, the union-backed Working Families Party and the Faith Caucus of religious leaders have joined to pursue another strategy to improve life for low-wage workers: “living wage” laws that set minimal wage levels (above the general minimum wage) and mandate benefits for employees of companies and nonprofit agencies receiving government funds. A 2002 city ordinance, according to Stephanie Luce, a leading scholar of living-wage efforts, was one of the “most extensive” in the country, pushing up the wages of 50,000 home healthcare workers and thousands of others. But it has been harder going since then. A 2012 law intended to benefit workers at developments subsidized with public money was greatly whittled down. A proposed ordinance requiring employers to provide paid sick leave was bottled up for years by City Council president Christine Quinn, before she finally relented early this spring and agreed to allow a weakened version of the original proposal to come to a vote. Luce believes that living-wage coalitions have not been as successful in New York as they have in California because some powerful unions have cut their own deals with the city, dropping out of broader initiatives.
In some respects, working-class New York is thriving. With more than 40 percent of the workforce foreign-born, it has a cultural vibrancy only occasionally noted in the mainstream media (except in reviews of ethnic restaurants), but evident to any casual visitor to immigrant neighborhoods. People still flock to New York from all over the world seeking economic opportunities and personal freedom. (At more than 8.3 million people, the city is as large as ever.) With the city’s streets extraordinarily safe, with municipal services under Bloomberg generally well run, if you own a home with an affordable mortgage or have a rent-regulated apartment, and if your children are lucky enough to go to schools that are not failing and you have managed to keep steady work at decent pay, you might well be better off than you were a dozen years ago. But for hundreds of thousands of working-class families with unsteady work, low wages, unaffordable housing, crummy schools and no union representation, New York City has failed miserably—a wealthy, self-congratulatory metropolis, whose pride of place rests on willful blindness.

Inspired by Donald Trump's first 100 days in office, Market Dojo are investigating what the first 100 days of a successful CPO would look like. Grey Tennyson , Chief Procurement Officer at VSP Global and formerly CPO at Salesforce discusses his thoughts on how he would transform your procurement team in the first 100 days.
You’re hired! After the jubilation of accepting a job wears off and you’re successfully on-boarded to your new company, you learn you have 100 days to develop a plan. This plan that will begin a journey of procurement transformation that surpasses the expectations you shared during the new hire process. The opportunity is ‘greenfield’: building out a procurement function where one didn’t previously exist or where the function never took hold for one reason or another.
You have 100 days to develop a plan. What’s first?
There are various approaches to transformation and the key is to find the right one for your project. The approach I will share is based on my personal experiences building out the procurement function (source-to-settle) at a Fortune 50 company, at a hyper-growth entrepreneurial company, and (most recently) at an established, well-diversified healthcare company.
First course of business – assess the current state if you didn’t do so during the interview process. Have a conversation with anyone willing to engage starting with your new team, executive leadership, and cross-functional stakeholders. You need to understand your inherited brand firsthand – including the perspectives and opinions of your inherited procurement function. These discussions are important on several fronts because they:
I recommend partnering with a change management guru and a project manager to articulate the business requirements that will form your vision, set a definition of success, and develop a communication strategy and cadence. Do not underestimate the impact of change and the new behaviours that are required to effect better business outcomes.
At my current company, we took a slightly different approach to transformation based on our unique combination of vision, culture, and employee demographics. Early on we reached out to Marketing to create a ‘drip campaign’ comprised of video vignettes, campus signage, and direct outreach. The whole effort centred on our mascot – Moolah, a big fury, purple creature that was accompanied by a tagline – ‘Spend It Like Its Yours’ (loosely based on the acronym ‘SILIY’ – pronounced silly). The objective was to have fun with the initiative, which is one of our values. The result was celebrity status for Moolah and greater acceptance of the initiative. Frankly, it was fun to see employees taking selfies of Moolah at all-hands-on-deck meetings.
Included below is a checklist based on my experiences to help develop your plan. Again, model or pivot based on what you observe in front of you and the expectations of procurement. There is no absolute right answer.

A nineteen-year-old engineering student and a 55-year-old mother of five were shot and killed by Chicago police answering an emergency report of a domestic disturbance — but the incident already echoes a spate of impossible-to-justify killings at the hands of Chicago PD. Relatives and friends of the two victims, as well as a fed-up public, are justifiably calling the suspicious circumstances of the killings into question, especially as answers from police have been difficult to come by.
According to police, officers responding to the West Garfield Park residence around 4:30 am were “confronted by a combative subject resulting in the discharging of the officer’s weapon, fatally wounding two individuals” — as if the weapon chose to pull its own trigger. Police say Quintonio LeGrier was threatening his father and carrying a baseball bat when they were called to the scene; though no gun was recovered, nor was there mention of any other lethal weapon found on the premises.
Bettie Jones was LeGrier’s father’s downstairs neighbor, and as he had requested, was awaiting the cops’ arrival. Chicago police admit her death was unintentional, but have not given any information on how, exactly, she ended up their victim. “The 55-year-old female victim was accidentally struck and tragically killed,” police said in a statement. “The department extends its deepest condolences to the victim’s family and friends.”
Though there remains a dearth of information — and a notable lack of comment from Fraternal Order of Police spokesman, Pat Camden, who has given statements about police shootings on-scene for years when they occur — the facts which are being divulged leave only doubt about what actually happened.
It is unclear whether LeGrier threatened officers’ lives at the scene, or whether he was even armed at the time police shot and killed him. Police have also not said if they had less lethal options available at the time, such as Tasers.“I don’t feel that his life was worth losing because he got upset,” Antonio LeGrier, the student’s father, lamented.
Even fewer answers have been given in explanation of Jones’ death, though relatives say the mother of four daughters and one son had recently taken leave from work due to an ongoing battle with ovarian cancer. “She was already sick,” said her youngest brother, Robin Andrews. “She was already fighting for her life.”
Latisha Jones, 19, woke up to gunfire — and found her mother on the floor of the apartment, with a gunshot wound in her neck.
“She wasn’t saying anything,” said Bettie’s daughter. “I had to keep checking for a pulse.”
LeGrier’s family said Quintonio had been having some mental health issues, for which they planned to hospitalize him once the holidays were over, “and now, we are not given that chance,” said his mother, Janet Cooksey.
“Seven times he was shot. He didn’t have a gun,” she pleaded. “He had a bat. One or two times would have brought him down.”
She also demanded a personal apology from Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who is currently in Cuba on vacation. In a statement Saturday night, Emanuel said, “Anytime an officer uses force, the public deserves answers, and regardless of the circumstances, we all grieve anytime there is a loss of life in our city.”
Emanuel’s statement of supposed condolence rings hollow for an epidemic number of victims of the Chicago Police Department — as evidenced in a number of questionable, and possibly criminal, incidents reported by The Free Thought Project.
“You call the police, you try to get help and you lose a loved one,” Cooksey said. “What are they trained for? Just to kill? I thought we were supposed to get service and protection. I mean, my son was an honor student. He’s here for Christmas break, and now I’ve lost him.” | positive |

Man, Alone | James Snell James Snell Menu Skip to content Home About Media Publications Man, Alone Leave a reply Review – First Man, directed by Damien Chazelle Space exploration is difficult and dangerous. Its technical demands are profound. Its toll is immense. These things are not communicated – or not communicated well – in our age’s space race; it is a commercial drama, where blood is exchanged for balance sheets and vital, war-like international competition is replaced by the pettier prospect of corporate intrigue. Jeff Bezos receives criticism for spending his money on rockets rather than workers’ rights; Richard Branson applies the same cheap showmanship to aerospace as he does to airlines; Elon Musk smokes cannabis on an MMA commentator’s podcast and tweets about anime. There are moments of glory: the dual landing of two of SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy boosters simultaneously – bringing closer the possibility of cheap, safe commercial space travel – thrilled even this technologically illiterate spectator. But the pain is less immense. Rockets are the toys of rich men. Their cargo is rarely human. When they explode, or fail to land, little happens. Maybe a slide-rule is adjusted or a spreadsheet reconfigured, far from view. This is an absurd perspective, but it is one our present situation naturally sustains. Modern space exploration is smaller-scale and lower-risk. When things go wrong, there is cause for disappointment, not alarm. It is only money, after all. In space exploration past, the same impression was not possible; and it does not survive a viewing of Damien Chazelle’s film, First Man, which takes as its focus man’s first journey to the moon. It was a difficult, dangerous job, undertaken, in John F. Kennedy’s gloss – and, in that speech, almost enclosed within parentheses – not because it was inevitable, but because it was possible, because it was hard. To that end, film is absolutely and entirely visually effective, completely correct in its calibration of the look of the era and of the primitive technology its characters were confined to using for the completion of their great feats. Every earthbound surface feels weighty. Heavy things are built of solid metal, or layered corrugated iron; and neatly-spaced rivets dot every surface. But there is little safety in this solidity. The lunar lander is covered in something which resembles tin-foil in its pliancy and flimsiness. Things are unsafe. The camera shakes endlessly; the central characters are thrown around; some of their friends are, more or less without warning, burnt to death. In total, the computing power on display comes close to that contained within a not especially inspiring digital watch. Life-saving calculations are done with pencils on paper. All this arcs towards the man, not the machine. Neil Armstrong, played by Ryan Gosling as another in his series of men who don’t talk much, suffers for his talents and faces the prospect of a violent end. The film has Armstrong shaken – physically and emotionally. His daughter, Karen, suffers from cancer. Armstrong fills pages of a notebook with neatly-written notes concerning her condition and planning how to improve it. Then she dies, and he closes his notebooks and shelves his preparations, left alone with his anguish. Armstrong is alone despite the dependable, steadying presence of his wife Janet, played with control by Claire Foy. In this telling, Armstrong’s life is turbulent. He bounces off the atmosphere while piloting an experimental jet plane; he barely ejects from a prototype lunar lander and returns to earth heavily, injuring himself in the process; though he and his wife ‘got good at funerals’ in their time among aviators and astronauts, he rocks back and forward, his frame shaking, as he weeps upon contemplating his daughter’s death. The central conceit of the film holds that Armstrong’s grief so dominated his life and his work, that even the glory of making it to the moon is insufficient to pay the emotional debt. I found myself moved simply at hearing the old words recited. ‘The Eagle has landed’; ‘one small step for [a] man’; and more. And it seemed as natural to become lachrymose at hearing a partial reading of William Safire’s greatest work, a thankfully undelivered speech written for Richard Nixon to read upon hearing that the astronauts were stranded on the moon, alive but unrecoverable. (Even the prosaic elements of Safire’s memo stir tears. The president would have to telephone the ‘widows-to-be’ before making his address; the men would have a funeral service in which ‘A clergyman should adopt the same procedure as a burial at sea, commending their souls to “the deepest of the deep,” concluding with the Lord’s Prayer.’) But apparently, for Chazelle, yet more prompting was necessary. He has Armstrong take a memento of his lost daughter to the moon, something which did not, in all likelihood, occur, to tie everything up emotionally. Acceptable licence, perhaps, but made flimsier by Gosling’s tearing up. Such things are acceptable in the audience but not in the astronaut. As Anthony Lane comments in his own review, ‘if Neil Armstrong had been the sort of fellow who was likely to cry on the moon, he wouldn’t have been the first man chosen to go there. He would have been the last.’ First Man uses emotional turmoil as an adjunct for the difficulty and danger of space travel, and fails to grasp the glories which emerged in spite of the latter. Touches of sentimentality detract from the film’s successes – its spare visual beauty, its score. But it succeeds in spite of its down-to-earth focus on sadness and death and being almost physically grounded, to look up, and glimpse the stars.

President Wilson's Address to Congress, Analyzing German and Austrian Peace Utterances - World War I Document Archive President Wilson's Address to Congress, Analyzing German and Austrian Peace Utterances From World War I Document Archive Revision as of 00:12, 1 December 2006 by Rdh7 (talk | contribs) (diff) ← Older revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff) Jump to: navigation, search Delivered in Joint Session, February 11, 1918) Gentlemen of the Congress: On the eighth of January I had the honor of addressing you on the objects of the war as our people conceive them. The Prime Minister of Great Britain had spoken in similar terms on the fifth of January. To these addresses the German Chancellor replied on the twenty-fourth and Count Czernin, for Austria, on the same day. It is gratifying to have our desire so promptly realized that all exchanges of views on this great matter should be made in the hearing of all the world. Count Czernin's reply, which is directed chiefly to my own address of the eighth of January, is uttered in a very friendly tone. He finds in my statement a sufficiently encouraging approach to the views of his own Government to justify him in believing that it furnishes a basis for more detailed discusssion of purposes by the two Governments. He is represented to have intimated that the views he was expressing had been communicated to me beforehand and that I was aware of them at the time he was uttering them; but in this I am sure he was misunderstood. I had received no intimation of what he intended to say. There was, of course no reason why he should communicate privately with me. I am quite content to be one of his public audience. Count von Hertling's reply is, I must say, very vague and very confusing. It is full of equivocal phrases and leads it is not clear where. But it is certainly in a very different tone from that of Count Czernin, and apparently of an opposite purpose. It confirms, I am sorry to say, rather than removes, the unfortunate impression made by what we had learned of the conferences at Brest-Litovsk. His discussion and acceptance of our general principles lead him to no practical conclusions. He refuses to apply them to the substantive items which must constitute the body of my final settlement. He is jealous of international action and of international counsel. He accepts, he says, the principle of public diplomacy, but he appears to insist that it be confined, at any rate in this case, to generalities and that the several particular questions of territory and sovereignty, the several questions upon whose settlement must depend the acceptance of peace by the twenty-three states now engaged in the war, must be discussed and settled, not in general council, but severally by the nations most immediately concerned by interest or neighborhood. He agrees that the seas should be free, but looks askance at any limitation to that freedom by international action in the interest of the common order. He would without reserve be glad to see economic barriers resolved between nation and nation, for that could in no way impede the ambitions of the military party with whom he seems constrained to keep on terms. Neither does he raise objection to a limitation of armaments. That matter will be settled of itself, he thinks, by the economic conditions which must follow the war. But the German colonies, he demands, must be returned without debate. He will discuss with no one but the representatives of Russia what disposition shall be made of the people and the lands of the Baltic provinces; with no one but the Government of France the "conditions" under which French territory shall be evacuated; and only with Austria what shall be done with Poland. In the determination of all questions affecting the Balkan states he defers, as I understand him, to Austria and Turkey: and with regard to the agreement to be entered into concerning the non-Turkish peoples of the present Ottoman Empire, to the Turkish authorities themselves. After a settlement all round, effected in this fashion, by individual barter and concession, he would have no objection, if I correctly interpret his statement, to a league of nations which would undertake to hold the new balance of power steady against external disturbance. It must be evident to everyone who understands what this war has wrought in the opinion and temper of the world that no general peace, no peace worth the infinite sacrifices of these years of tragical suffering, can possibly be arrived at in any such fashion. The method the German Chancellor proposes is the method of the Congress of Vienna. We cannot and will not return to that. What is at at stake now is the peace of the world. What we are striving for is a new international order based upon broad and universal principles of right and justice, -- no mere peace of shreds and patches. Is it possible that Count von Hertling does not see that, does not grasp it, is in fact living in his thought in a world dead and gone? Has he utterly forgotten the Reichstag Resolutions of the nineteenth of July, or does he deliberately ignore them? They spoke of the conditions of general peace, not of national aggrandisement or of arrangements between state and state. The peace of the world depends upon the just settlement of each of the several problems to which I adverted in my recent address to the Congress. I, of course, do not mean that the peace of the world depends upon the acceptance of any particular set of suggestions as to the way in which those problems are to be dealt with. I mean only that those problems each and all affect the whole world; that unless they are dealt with in a spirit of unselfish and unbiased justice, with a view to the wishes, the natural connections, the racial aspirations, the security, snd the peace of mind of the peoples involved, no permanent peace will have been attained. They cannot be discussed separately or in corners. None of them constitutes a private or separate interest from which the opinion of the world may be shut out. Whatever affects the peace affects mankind, and nothing settled by military force, if settled wrong, is settled at all. It will presently have to be reopened. Is Count von Hertling not aware that he is speaking in the court of mankind, that all the awakened nations of the world now sit in judgment on what every public man, of whatever nation, may say on the issues of a conflict which has spread to every region of the world? The Reichstag Resolutions of July themselves frankly accepted the decisions of that court. There shall be no annexations, no contributions, no punitive damage. Peoples are not to be handed about from one sovereignty to another by an international conference or an understanding betwreen rivals and antagonists. National aspirations must be respected; peoples may now be dominated and governed only by their own consent. "Self-determination" is not a mere phrase. It is an imperative principle of actions which statesmen will henceforth ignore at their peril. We cannot have general peace for the asking, or by the mere arrangements of a peace conference. It cannot be pieeed together out of individual understandings between powerful states. All the parties to this war must join in the settlement of every issue anywhere involved in it; because what we are seeing is a peace that we can all unite to guarantee and maintain and every item of it must be submitted to the common judgment whether it be right and fair, an act of justice, rather than a bargain between sovereigns. The United States has no desire to interfere in European affairs or to act as arbiter in European territorial disputes. She would disdain to take advantage of any internal weakness or disorder to impose her own will upon another people. She is quite ready to be shown that the settlements she has suggested are not the best or the most enduring. They are only her own provisional sketch of principles and of the way in which they should be applied. But she entered this war because she was made a partner, whether she would or not, in the sufferings and indignities inflicted by the military masters of Germany, against the peace and security of mankind; and the conditions of peace will touch her as nearly as they will touch any other nation to which is entrusted a leading part in the maintenance of civilization.. She cannot see her way to peace until the causes of this war are removed, its renewal rendered as nearly as may be impossible. This war had its roots in the disregard of the rights of small nations and of nationalities which lacked the union and the force to make good their claim to determine their own allegiances and their own forms of political life. Covenants must now be entered into which will render such things impossible for the future; and those covenants must be backed by the united force of all the nations that love justice and are willing to maintain it at any cost. If territorial settlements and the political relations of great populations which have not the organized power to resist are to be determined by the contracts of the powerful governments which consider themselves most directly affected, as Count von Hertling proposes, why may not economic questions also? It has come about in the altered world in which we now find ourselves that justice and the rights of peoples affect the whole field of international dealing as much as access to raw materials and fair and equal conditions of trade. Count von Hertling wants the essential bases of commercial and industrial life to be safeguarded by common agreement and guarantees but he cannot expect that to be conceded him if the other matters to be determined by the articles on peace are not handled in the same way as items in the final accounting. He cannot ask the benefit of common agreement in the one field without according it in the other. I take it for granted that he sees that separate and selfish compacts with regard to trade and the essential materials of manufacture would afford no foundation for peace. Neither, he may rest asssured, will separate and selfish compacts with regard to provinces and peoples. Count Czernin seems to see the fundamental elements of peace with clear eyes and does not seek to obscure them. He sees that an independent Poland, made up of all the indisputably Polish peoples who lie contiguous to one another, is a matter of European concern and must of course be conceded; that Belgium must be evacuated and restored, no matter what sacrifices and concessions that may involve; and that national aspirations must be satisfied, even within his own Empire, in the common interest of Europe and mankind. If he is silent about questions which touch the interest and purpose of his allies more nearly than they touch those of Austria only, it must of course be because he feels constrained, I suppose, to defer to Germany and Turkey in the circumstances. Seeing and conceding, as he does, the essential principles involved and the necessity of candidly applying them, he naturally feels that Austria can respond to the purpose of peace as expressed by the United States with less embarrassment than could Germany. He would probably have gone much farther had it not been for the embarrassments of Austria's alliances and of her dependence upon Germany. After all, the test of whether it is possible for either government to go any further in this comparison of views is simple and obvious. The principles to be applied are these: First, that each part of the final settlement must be based upon the essential justice of that particular case and upon such adjustments as are most likely to bring a peace that will be permanent; Second, that peoples and provinces are not to be bartered about from sovereignty to sovereignty as if they were mere chattels and pawns in a game, even the great game, now forever discredited, of the balance of power; but that Third, every territorial settlement involved in this war must be made in the interest and for the benefit of the populations concerned, and not as a part of any mere adjustment or compromise of claims amongst rival states; and Fourth, that all well defined national aspirations shall be accorded the utmost satisfaction that can be accorded them without introducing new or perpetuating old elements of discord and antagonism that would be likely in time to breaks the peace of Europe and consequently of the world. A general peace erected upon such foundations can be discussed. Until such a peace can be secured we have no choice but to go on. So far as we can judge, these principles that we regard as fundamental are already everywhere accepted as imperative except among the spokesmen of the military and annexationist party in Germany. If they have anywhere else been rejected, the objectors have not been sufficiently numerous or influential to make their voices audible. The tragical circurmstance is that this one party in Germany is apparently willing and able to send millions of men to their death to prevent what all the world now sees to be just. I would not be a true spokesman of the people of the United States if I did not say once more that we entered this war upon no small occasion, and that we can never turn back from a course chosen upon principle. Our resources are in part mobilised now, and we shall not pause until they are mobilised in their entirety. Our armies are rapidly going to the fighting front, and will go more and more rapidly. Our whole strength will be put into this war of emancipation, -- emancipation from the threat and attempted mastery of selfish groups of autocratic rulers, -- whatever the difficulties and present partial delays. We are indomitable in our power of independent action and can in no circumstances consent to live in a world governed by intrigue and force. We believe that our own desire for a new international order under which reason and justice and the common interests of mankind shall prevail is the desire of enlightened men everywhere. Without that new order the world will be without peace and human life will lack tolerable conditions of existence and development. Having set our hand to the task of achieving it, we shall not turn back. I hope that it is not necessary for me to add that no word of what I have said is intended as a threat. That is not the temper of our people. I have spoken thus only that the whole world may know the true spirit of America -- that men everywhere may know that our passion for justice and for self-government is no mere passion of words but a passion which, once set in action, must be satisfied. The power of the United States is a menace to no nation or people. It will never be used in agression or for the aggrandisement of any selfish interest of our own. lt springs out of freedom and is for the service of freedom.

Another awesome weekend in the books, minus the fact that it was nearly 100° the whole time. That’s rough for a girl who doesn’t like it to creep over 80°. Portland has generally mild summers, but there are always a handful of days that really tests my everyone’s patience. That’s a lot of heat and sun.
Andrew played a lot of soccer in it. How? I’ll never know. I hid from the sun and did a lot of necessary cleaning. Lots of food that doesn’t involve turning on the stove was eaten. We watched the Timbers draw. Watching that happen in the heat was like pouring salt over an open wound. We showed some friends from out of town some of the city. There is seriously nothing more fun than playing tourist in your own town [other than being a tourist in another town…]. It’s an excuse to see things and do things that you wouldn’t normally bother with. We ended up an a pod of food carts in N. Mississippi Ave., and I ate a most delicious Chinese flatbread sandwich with Szechuan red oil chicken, garlic ginger braised Chinese greens, and pickled vegetables from Prickly Ash, a Chinese street food cart. Good is an understatement. The chicken was piled high that it was hard to wrap up and eat. That’s my kind of sandwich. The rest of the day was seriously too hot to eat. I had some fro-yo and a few slices of cucumber and feta. My healthiness knows no bounds.
We even busted out the crock pot to beat the heat. We picked up a pork roast from the Mexican market, and I grabbed it purely to try this recipe from Eat, Live, Run for carnitas. There’s no marinade, just spices and fresh veggies and some time under low heat. The house smelled awesome when I got home, so Andrew working upstairs with it like that must have been brutal. The pork was fork tender and super juicy. Jalapeño was a must. It was nice and spicy. I could have easily added another. We killed off the entire roast in one sitting [shocking] taking liberties with lime and avocado. I put a bunch on top of some leftover Mayan quinoa. That was the best idea of all.
Inspiration: Eat, Live, Run
Ingredients
2lbs pork roast
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 jalapeño, diced [take out the seeds if you don’t want it too spicy]
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
tortillas, avocado, cilantro, lime, etc for serving
Preparation
Mix all of the spices in a small bowl. Place the pork roast in the bottom of a crock pot. Cover with half of the spices. Flip the roast over and cover with the rest of the spices. Cover the roast with all of the onion and peppers. Turn the heat on low and leave for 8 hours. The meat should be fork tender. Shred and serve immediately or shred and let it soak up the juices for a bit before serving.

Met Police stopping unhelmetted cyclists to provide “advice and education”
As part of Road Safety Week, the Metropolitan Police is stopping cyclists and lorry drivers in three locations in central, east and south London to offer “education and advice” to cyclists who are seen riding dangerously. Conrtoversially, the police are also stopping cyctlists who are not wearing helmets.
A spokesman for Scotland Yard told road.cc that cyclists were being stopped “where there are concerns about their behaviour - for instance cutting corners, performing other dangerous manoeuvres or wearing headphones while riding.”
He also acknowledged that officers were stopping riders who were not wearing helmets. While there is no legal requirement to wear a helmet while riding a bicycle in the UK, the spokesman said: “If you want to be safe it’s a very good idea to put one on.” That’s an opinion that some in the cycling community might perhaps take issue with.
London Assembly member Jenny Jones told road.cc she had contacted the Met and a superintendent had agreed that helmets and high vis are not required by law.
Baroness Jones said: "The Met’s ‘advice’ on cyclists wearing a helmet and high vis is not based on any scientific research. As an informed cyclist I ride my bike without either. Their efforts would be better focussed on enforcing the laws we have, for example on not driving vehicles while using a mobile, not driving a vehicle into ASLs when the lights are red, which would make our roads much safer.
"Clearing our roads of illegal and dangerous drivers has to be the priority, not hassling cyclists who are obeying the law."
Scotland Yard said that the intention was not enforcement and when asked if, for example, a cyclist riding through a red light would be issued a fixed penalty notice, said that no fixed penalty notices had been issued to cyclists. “It’s about advice and education rather than cracking down,” said the spokesman.
A total of 45 officers are involved in the operation, and police are also stopping lorry drivers. Their vehicles have been checked for any issues and in one instance a lorry was found to have a dangerously over-inflated tyre that left it unfit to continue its journey.
According to LBC, police at one location have stopped 20 HGVs and found a total of 60 offences, including vehicles in dangerous condition and drivers who had been working too long.
Chief-Superintendent Glyn Jones, who is in charge of the operation, told LBC: "If you're going to cycle in London, wear a helmet, wear high-vis, make sure your bike has the right lights, don't wear headphones and obey the rules of the road.
"That way you will be a lot safer."
In a ten-day period to last Thursday, five cyclists were killed in collisions with large vehicles on London's roads. It is not known how many of them were wearing helmets or whether their riding was a factor in the crashes. | positive |

Humboldt County Office of the District Attorney release:
Curtis
Today 38-year-old Jason Curtis of Eureka was sentenced to 8 years in prison for his assault on the 76-year-old owner of the “STUF’T POTATO” restaurant in Eureka. The sentencing follows Mr. Curtis’ guilty plea to felony elder abuse inflicting injury (Penal Code section 368) and admission of the special allegation that he inflicted great bodily injury on a victim over 70 years of age. Mr. Curtis received an additional 8-month sentence because he was on felony probation for vandalism when he committed the assault.
This outcome stems from Mr. Curtis’ actions on October 23, 2016. When the owner asked the defendant to leave her business he punched her, breaking her nose and knocking her to the ground. Three Humboldt Bay Fire personnel at the restaurant rushed to her aid and detained Mr. Curtis. | positive |

The union plumber injured was working at a school renovation site in Linden. He was tasked with removing plumbing fixtures. At the site, the plaintiff was notified that the electrical subcontractor had completed its work in the school’s classrooms and bathrooms. When he entered one of the bathrooms and found he could not access the water shutoff valve, he alerted the superintendent, who used a six-foot ladder and sledgehammer to create an opening in the ceiling. The plaintiff later climbed the ladder and attempted to apply a wrench to the valve, when he touched an exposed, live wire and was thrown to the ground. The plaintiff suffered fractures to both shoulders and underwent a series of surgeries, one of which led to an infection. The lawsuit claimed that the superintendent failed to alert the plaintiff when he heard a pop when creating the opening in the ceiling. The suit also claimed the electric company failed to ensure the area was safe after completing it work and by neglecting to cover the junction box and secure all wires. The construction and electric companies negligently failed to ensure the electricity was turned off before the plaintiff began working. The electric company claimed the junction box was secure before the superintendent loosened it when sledgehammering the ceiling. Peter Chamas of Gill & Chamas represented the plaintiff. The parties settled during mediation with retired Superior Court Judge Bette Uhrmacher of Little Silver.

On Game Of Thrones, Michiel Huisman’s Daario Naharis may have been politely asked to leave his Khaleesi so she could conquer the known world without a boyfriend dragging her down, but Huisman isn’t just going to wait around and hope she’ll return to him someday. He’s decided to line up another TV gig, with The Hollywood Reporter saying that he has signed on to star in Netflix’s The Haunting Of Hill House reboot. As we’ve previously reported, this new take on Shirley Jackson’s 1959 novel will be a 10-episode TV series, with Hush director Mike Flanagan writing, directing, and executive producing.
The series is about four people living in a old mansion that—spoiler alert—may or may not be haunted, and Huisman will play a guy named Steven Crane who writes supernatural books. | positive |
As a Republican and a Democrat representing South Florida in Congress, the alarming findings on the acceleration of sea level rise recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences hit close to home. In South Florida, king tides regularly flood low-lying communities like Miami Beach and Key West, and the saltwater creep threatens the freshwater supplied by the Everglades to over seven million Americans. Yet according to this research, coastal communities like ours are struggling to cope with what are only the first few inches of sea level rise that will reach between 1.7 and four feet by 2100.
Across the country, the challenges posed by warming temperatures, storm surge, and severe flooding represent mere previews of the consequences to come due to climate change. In New Jersey, the storm surge that accompanied a recent blizzard left shore towns flooded by icy waters. In Charleston, South Carolina, the number of flood days more than quadrupled in the last half a century. Even in Colorado, warmer winters and reduced snowfall has disrupted tourism and the ski industry.

This research makes clear that the time to debate whether climate change threatens our economy and our security has long past. It should also lend credence to our decision to establish the Climate Solutions Caucus the first bipartisan task force in the House of Representatives devoted to addressing climate change. Already, Reps. Chris Gibson (R-N.Y.), Alan Lowenthal (D-Calif.), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) and Patrick Murphy (D-Fla.) have joined us as members, and we are hearing from other colleagues thirsty for a bipartisan dialogue on climate change.
We know that the rigid partisan climate in the House and Senate has prevented Congress from tackling an array of issues in recent years. But the idea that the elected representatives of the American people cannot come together to even discuss climate change while the governments of nearly 200 countries can, as we recently saw in Paris last year, demonstrates the frustration of this stalemate.
The absence of congressional leadership has led President Obama to take executive regulatory actions that not only intensify partisanship but may not prevail in court. It’s also left local governments and the private sector with the immeasurable burden of figuring out how to protect property and infrastructure from seas that are rising faster than they have in more than 3,000 years.
The dangers posed by climate change will touch Americans of all political persuasions. We cannot let partisan politics relegate the legislative branch of the United States to the sidelines as communities, local governments, and private industry grapples with an increasingly existential threat.
In the coming weeks, the Climate Solutions Caucus will arrange briefings and discussions with local officials and private sector leaders from across the political spectrum who recognize the need for action. Together, we hope to arrive at economically viable, market-driven approaches to reducing carbon emissions that can efficiently and effectively address this threat.
While Congress in the past has failed to pass comprehensive climate change legislation, the right solutions are still out there. They have to be. Before we were Republicans or Democrats in Congress, we were parents. And while we may not live to see the worst of the consequences of unchecked carbon pollution, we know that our children and our grandchildren someday will. The Climate Solutions Caucus may be just a small step, but it’s a step worth taking if we have any hope of restoring dialogue and addressing climate change in a bipartisan way.

A co-worker of a B.C. man who police believe may have killed himself and his family after an apparent confession on Facebook described him as a funny guy who was depressed by his daughter's health problems.
Police have still not confirmed that Randy Janzen killed his wife, sister and 19-year-old daughter, Emily, but say they are aware of a post on a Facebook page with Janzen's name on it that says his daughter was shot to end her suffering.
The CBC cannot confirm whether Janzen actually wrote the message.
The post says Janzen's wife was shot so she wouldn't have to live with her daughter's death or the shame of what he had done.

Police say they are investigating multiple homicides linked to a house fire in a quiet British Columbia neighbourhood as well as a Facebook post in which a man appears to confess to the crime.
Investigators say they cannot confirm how many victims might be in the charred house near Chilliwack, east of Vancouver, or at a second crime scene in Langley, where at least one person was found dead.
The house sits on a quiet suburban street of large family homes and beautiful lawns with mountains in the distance. All that remained Friday of the house was a scorched shell with the roof mostly collapsed.
Neighbours said there was a police standoff at the home Thursday night that ended with the home on fire.
Co-worker says Janzen was 'a funny guy'
Raymond Norfolk, who identified himself as a co-worker of Randy Janzen at a sawmill, solemnly laid a bouquet of flowers by a tree near the house.
He said although he had never met Emily Janzen, he felt like he had grown to know her over the eight years he worked alongside her father because he talked about her constantly.

"It's brutal. I can't believe it. Randy was a good buddy, and now he's gone," he said after police held a news conference and confirmed the Facebook post was part of the investigation.
"I left work today. Honestly, when I heard about it I started crying. I had to go home and see my little girls, because it was too much."
Norfolk said the man described his daughter as a "lucky, go-getting girl — all up until the migraines."
He said her pain began as a child but grew so much worse in recent years that she began getting morphine shots.
His daughter's health problems took a toll on the man, Norfolk said.
"He was a funny guy, but he was a roller-coaster too. He was depressed, and then one minute he was up. And then he was down.
"She was the world [to Randy Janzen]," he said, before adding he'd heard his co-worker make some unusual statements.
"He kind of talked about it. If she ever goes, he's done. 'Why bother being here? There's nothing left in my life."'
Apparent confession posted to Facebook
The Facebook post from the man identified as Randy Janzen contains an apparent confession to the murders.
Whenever I start to feel sorry for myself, I just thank God I'm still alive. I complain about all the pain, but at least I'm here to feel it. - Emily Janzen
It begins by saying: "Over the last 10 days I have done some of the worst things I could have ever imagined a person doing."
The post goes on to detail how his daughter, Emily, had suffered since elementary school from migraines that made her "very ill" and had pushed her into a severe depression.

"I took a gun and shot her in the head and now she is migraine-free and floating in the clouds on a sunny afternoon, her long beautiful brown hair flowing in the breeze, a true angel," the post says.
"Now my family is pain free and in heaven," it concludes. "I have great remorse for my actions and feel like the dirt that I am."The post says the man shot his wife "because a mother should never have to hear the news her baby has died" and, "a couple of days later," killed his sister "because I did not want her to have to live with this shame I have caused all alone."
The post is signed "Love Daddio."
Whenever I start to feel sorry for myself, I just thank God I'm still alive. I complain about all the pain, but at least I'm here to feel it —@emmers_janzen
In April 2014, a Facebook post under Emily Janzen's name said she had just been accepted into the University of British Columbia's opera performance program. Late last month, she tweeted how thankful she was to be alive.
Last October, she posted a photo of herself on Facebook.
"Emily you are awesome," her father commented.
"Love ya daddio," she responded. | positive |
CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela’s acting president said on Wednesday that “far right” figures in the United States were plotting to kill opposition leader Henrique Capriles in an increasingly volatile atmosphere ahead of an April 14 election.

Accusations are flying and emotions are running high in the South American OPEC nation of 29 million people since the death last week of former socialist leader Hugo Chavez.
“We have detected plans by the far right, linked to the groups of (former Bush administration officials) Roger Noriega and Otto Reich, to make an attempt against the opposition presidential candidate,” Nicolas Maduro said.
He gave no more details, but said in a televised speech that the government had sent a senior general to meet with aides of Capriles. There was no immediate response from Washington or Capriles’ camp.
During the Chavez era, there were frequent claims of U.S. plots aimed at discrediting his self-styled revolution. Critics said they were a smokescreen to create a sense of “imperialist” threat and distract Venezuelans from daily problems.
Why foreign right-wingers would want to bring down the business-friendly Capriles was not explained by Maduro.
The upcoming vote will pit Maduro, Chavez’s heir apparent, against Capriles, a centrist state governor who lost an election to Chavez in October.
Noriega, a former Assistant Secretary of State for Latin America under former president George W. Bush, denied Maduro’s accusation. “Its absolute nonsense,” said Noriega said.
“They call you what they are and they accuse you of doing what they do. That is the way they operate,” Noreiga.
Reich was not immediately available to comment.
Earlier this week, Capriles’ team said the opposition candidate had not registered his candidacy in person on Monday because they had received information that an attack against him was planned. Aides delivered his papers instead.
In January, Maduro said unidentified groups had entered the country with the aim of assassinating him and the head of the National Assembly, Diosdado Cabello.
This week, Maduro also said Venezuela will set up a formal inquiry into claims that Chavez’s cancer was the result of poisoning by his enemies abroad.
GAY ROW
Venezuela’s acrimonious election campaign was further stirred by remarks from Maduro that were widely perceived as a homophobic slur against Capriles.
Capriles, 40, was the target of racial and sexual innuendoes by Chavez’s supporters throughout last year’s presidential race: one cartoon shown on state media depicted him in pink shorts with a Nazi swastika on one arm.
Chavez himself was also vilified by foes as an uncouth clown throughout his rule. The mockery included racist insults and photos of apes with his face superimposed.
Denigrating images of Maduro driving a bus - his former job - are now circulating among anti-government factions.
In the flurry of back-and-forth accusations from both camps this week, Maduro appeared to revive last year’s line of attack over Capriles’ sexuality. Capriles is unmarried.
“I do have a wife, you know? I do like women!” Maduro told a rally. He has also called Capriles “a little princess.”
The comment drew hoots of laughter from supporters, some shouting explicit insults against the opposition leader.
That infuriated backers of Capriles, whom polls show has an uphill struggle to beat Maduro. “I believe in a society where no one feels excluded due to their way of thinking, race, beliefs or sexual orientation,” Capriles said in response.
Images of guns pointed at TVs showing Capriles’ image are also doing the rounds, triggering a formal opposition complaint.
On Wednesday, Maduro rowed back and insisted he was always respectful of others’ private lives. “If I were homosexual I would be proud about it and I would love whoever I loved with my heart, without problem,” he said.

Venezuela’s acting leader also said on Wednesday that plans to embalm Chavez’s remains, in the style of Communist leaders Lenin, Stalin and Mao, had run into problems.
“Russian and German scientists have arrived to embalm Chavez and they tell us it’s very difficult because the process should have started earlier. ... Maybe we can’t do it,” he said. | positive |

WESH - LAKE COUNTY, Fla. (WESH) —A Disney World employee has been arrested by Lake County deputies on child pornography charges.
Deputies said Alton Morgan, 57, created and downloaded child porn at his home in Mascotte.
Investigators said they found numerous images of child pornography when they searched Morgan's home on Monday night.
They also said they found images of a young girl being molested by Morgan.
Detectives learned that the child, who they said Morgan admitted to molesting, is now in California. Authorities in California arrested the girl's mother late Monday night on child pornography charges.
Investigators said Morgan had met the girl's mother online.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office said there are at least two additional victims in the case and they are asking anyone with information to come forward.
Morgan is a stage tech at Walt Disney World, according to an arrest report.
Morgan is being held with no bond at the Lake County Detention Center. He is charged with possession of child pornography, production of child pornography, and lewd or lascivious molestation.
WHAT OTHERS ARE CLICKING ON RIGHT NOW | positive |
I did not really know much about the book going in, but it did not disappoint (and now I really want to watch the movie). The characters are pretty well fleshed out (maybe the main character a little too much so), and the suspense is tangible. I will say, I actually liked a few of the side characters quite a bit more than the main guy (he was a little whiny through most of it), but he improved as the book went on.
Without getting too spoiler-y, I can say I was VERY happy that Babe was not just making stupid decisions throughout the book. As his character grew and changed (realistically), he was largely responsible for his own success/failure, and that is refreshing. Too often authors get lazy, their characters do not spot the obvious, and they make idiotic decisions based on their own stupidity. Not (so much) the case with Babe, and it really made for a fantastic narrative.
The reason it only gets 4 stars? Golding has a tendency to be a bit *too* verbose at times. It doesn't detract much, but it would be better if he could cut some his longer paragraphs down. | positive |
As a 12-year-old suburban kid, "The Daily Show" opened my mind and won my heart. It was an odd favorite, because I otherwise avoided politics. The cathartic laughter over revelations of American hypocrisy and that calming moment of zen at the show’s end made it possible to learn about our government’s failures while staying optimistic. I never thought I’d someday be 26, still watching "The Daily Show," and struck by this idea: Jon Stewart will help save America’s health care system.
When Stewart is not interviewing Scarlett Johansson or Johnny Knoxville, he’s building a strong case for why we must fight for a truly humane, affordable health care system – a single-payer universal health care system that substantially upgrades Obamacare. Thanks in part to guests like Johansson and Knoxville, "The Daily Show" is a megaphone reaching the key 18 to 49 age demographic; it ranks first in all of current late-night TV for winning our age group’s hearts and minds.

Back in October 2013, the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, appeared on the show to sell us whippersnappers Obamacare insurance. Obamacare depends on young, healthy folks to enter into its marketplace and balance the costs of older and sicker citizens.
“Young people,” said Sebelius, “are one fall on the basketball court, one auto accident away, from a lifetime of hospital bills they can’t pay.”
Sebelius’ nudge felt almost endearing, like the effort of a concerned mother to protect her kin. But one must ask, how reformed is Obamacare if it will leave any of us or our loved ones vulnerable to “a lifetime of hospital bills” we “can’t pay”?
“We don’t get to pick and choose when we get sick,” Sebelius continued. “You’re more likely to live sicker and die younger without insurance.”
“Exactly,” Stewart said and spiked the conversational volleyball, “which is why I don’t understand the idea of staying with a market-based solution for a problem where people can’t be smart consumers.”
Stewart’s televised argument for single-payer grows stronger every day. In a Jan. 16 interview on "The Daily Show," writer Steven Brill exposed Obamacare’s failure to control health care costs and bloated CEO salaries. Brill is the journalist behind the 2013 Time article “Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills Are Killing Us,” which reveals how 60 percent of personal bankruptcies are due to medical bills. Most of these bankruptcies fall on the backs of ordinary, unsuspecting Americans with insurance.

“So what this new system does is bring more people into this deteriorating building,” Stewart said provocatively.
In countries with single-payer, such as Canada and the U.K., not one single citizen ever goes bankrupt over medical bills. People live longer and pay less, covered from cradle to grave under single-payer’s founding principle: health care is a human right.
“There must be a way for government to earn back the trust of the people,” Stewart said as he kicked off his interrogation of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Jan. 30.
“Public sentiment is everything,” Pelosi deflected.
Pelosi is right about people power, and "The Daily Show" is part of that equation.

“Single-payer,” Stewart had said to Sebelius, “simplifies this whole gobbledygook and creates the program that I think America deserves.”
He then stood up, placed his hand to his heart, and sang “Proud to Be an American.” The studio audience howled, cheered and applauded in a showing of great “public sentiment.” Just imagine when Stewart’s 1.6 million nightly viewers hit the streets with a rallying cry and do the same. | positive |

Abstract
In explaining individual behavior in politics, economists should rely on the same motivational assumptions they use to explain behavior in the market: That is what Political Economy, understood as the application of economics to the study of political processes, is all about. In its standard variant, individuals who play the game of politics should also be considered rational and self-interested, unlike the benevolent despot of traditional welfare economics. History repeats itself with the rise of behavioral economics: Assuming cognitive biases to be present in the market, but not in politics, behavioral economists often call for government to intervene in a “benevolent” way. Recently, however, political economists have started to apply behavioral economics insights to the study of political processes, thereby re-establishing a unified methodology. This paper surveys the current state of the emerging field of “Behavioral Political Economy” and considers the scope for further research. | positive |

Chronic marijuana use as an adolescent has no link to mental or physical health problems later in life, according to a new study conducted over the past 20 years.
Published by the American Physiological Association, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and Rutgers University divided participants into four groups from their teenage years onward.
One group almost never smoked marijuana, one used it mostly in their teenage years, another started using in adulthood and the final group of subjects started using marijuana early and continued into their adult years.
There had been some evidence to suggest that regular marijuana use among teenagers was linked to mental problems such as depression and schizophrenia. Indeed, lead researcher Jordan Bechtold was expecting to find similar results and said what they discovered was “a little surprising.”
The study found that “chronic marijuana users were not more likely than late increasing users, adolescence-limited users, or low/nonusers to experience several physical or mental health problems in their mid-30s.”
In fact, there were no significant differences between marijuana trajectory groups in terms of adult health outcomes, even when models were run without controlling for potential confounds. The researchers found no link between teen marijuana use and lifetime depression, anxiety, allergies, headaches or high blood pressure.
The study also breaks new ground in that it was able to track 408 subjects as they grew up, rather than looking back on marijuana use retrospectively to find a link with current health problems. All the subjects were male and the study controlled for factors such as cigarette smoking and socioeconomic background.
Although the researchers caution that a single study shouldn’t be looked at in isolation, they argue it should contribute to debate surrounding marijuana legalization. Washington, Colorado, Alaska and Oregon have already legalized recreational marijuana use and campaigners are hoping to push the reforms nationwide.
“Everyone wants to prevent teen marijuana use, but we don’t need to exaggerate its harms and arrest responsible adults in order to do it,” Mason Tvert, communications director at the Marijuana Policy Project, told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
“Hopefully, this study will lead to a reevaluation of the tactics that are being used to discourage teens from trying marijuana,” he added.

On Monday President Trump kicked off what the White House is calling "infrastructure week" by proposing and idea that's been kicked around for years – privatizing the nation's air traffic control (ATC) system.
The president's initiative would basically convert the air traffic control system, run by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), into a not-for-profit cooperative. It would purportedly reduce ATC delays and increase air traffic throughput while shifting the funding for air-traffic control from the collection of taxes on fuel and airline tickets to a user-fee model that would be established by a 13-member board.
As an opinion piece in The Atlantic points out, the potential move is more of a bureaucratic reform than an actual infrastructure program and one that can be done without big spending.
Supporters of ATC privatization say it would relieve the FAA of operating a business that it is also responsible for regulating. The FAA is also currently in the midst of trying to modernize air traffic control, shifting the management of airborne aircraft from ground-based radars to satellite-enabled GPS via its NextGen program (though it's been plagued by delays and cost overrun). Privatization advocates also claim that shifting air traffic control away from the FAA would speed the process and shift about 30,000 unionized traffic controllers off the government payroll, an idea supported by the ATC union.
But critics aren't buying the efficiency argument. They say investing more resources to speed the rollout of NextGen is a better idea than privatizing an air traffic control system whose safety record is very strong. A non-profit airline consumer organization argues that the user-fee model on which the proposal is based essentially privatizes the power to tax.
Most directly, that could have implications for airline ticket prices. Presently, you can break down the proportion of taxes and surcharges, which factor into your ticket price via airline websites. Air carriers and ticket agents are required to include all mandatory taxes and fees in published airfares by the Department of Transportation. How airlines would determine and report the user-fee costs they'd pass on to you under a privatized ATC system is unclear. Would your ticket price increase? That's hard to say.
On the other hand, a privatized ATC could mean lower taxes. Congressional inaction which has saddled the FAA with short-term spending extensions rather than long-term reauthorizations would be obviated by ATC privatization, providing a stable funding stream for air traffic controllers which wouldn't be tax-based. Trump says, "this new entity will not need taxpayer money, which is very shocking when people hear that."
Of course, airlines like the privatization idea, seeing the initiative as placing more power in their hands, stabilizing ATC funding, and speeding modernization. Jon Weaks, president of the Southwest Airlines Pilots Association (SWAPA), told Popular Mechanics that America's air traffic controllers "oversee the busiest and most complex airspace in the world, and they are doing it with dedication and professionalism despite being hampered by a nearly 30-year low in controller staffing levels and saddled with an erratic funding stream from Washington."

However, some consumer groups and general aviation groups like the Aircraft Owner's and Pilot's Association (AOPA) do not like the idea. AOPA is concerned that the user-fee model would negatively impact private pilots by directly conferring fees on their use of the ATC system (they already pay fees to fund ATC via a fuel tax), putting in jeopardy one of the greatest freedoms Americans have – the ability to fly privately at a reasonable cost.
"While AOPA is open to proposals aimed at making the air traffic control system more efficient and delivering technology in a timely and cost-effective manner, we have consistently said we will not support policies that impose user fees on general aviation," AOPA CEO, Mark Baker says. "We are also concerned about the impact of these proposed reforms on general aviation based on what we have seen in other countries."
The impact of the president's plan on your air travel costs will likely depend on whether it actually produces greater air traffic control efficiency through quicker NextGen implementation and lower ATC controller costs. But the big question that still remains is how airlines will pass on their user-fee costs to passengers.
But with the current congressional gridlock, the merits of ATC privatization may not even be put fully to the test. | positive |

A Day Without a Woman, Flasks: can’t live with em, can’t live without em, people who live in bath houses shouldn’t throw soap, Madcucks defends Madbux, Sean’s favorite Star Trek, a Menards update, Lettuce Jones calls from prison, the official Billboard charts, Project: Episode 108, a dick mold bet, a dick pic bet, Phteven investigates a case of Facebook stalking, Sean counts my beers, I have one too many beers, a day with no dings, hot girl freebie scraps, and You Can’t Delete Love Part 2; all that and more this week on The Dick Show!
Lysistrata is a Greek play written in 400 BC wherein the women of Greece go on a sex strike to convince their men to end the Peloponnesian War. And then everything gets completely fucked up because the idea is dumb and everyone who participates in it is a stupid jackass. What I’m saying is, 2,500 years ago, the idea of a gender strike was mocked publicly as satire. Look at how far we’ve come!
This smugness in this picture says all you need to know about this episode.
MFW some serious mansplaining about to go down re: Women On Strike! on tomorrow's episode of The Dick Show! w/@PeachSaliva pic.twitter.com/pFX9Oyna15 — Dick Masterson (@dickmasterson) March 6, 2017
People are asking why Sean isn’t in this pic. Well he is. We actually had merged into one person because the mansplaining I was about to unload was so intense we needed the power of multiple men to do it, like those science aliens with the giant butts in Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey. If only I could remember their names. But first…
Peach Saliva continues her reign of rage, saves the livestream, and rides the wave of heat her last topic caused: men who pee while sitting down, with a fresh piece of bait: people who take baths. She doesn’t like them. It’s not clear how she feels about men who stand while taking baths, or at exactly what size a bath becomes a pool and then a lake, or why the dirt that fills the tub is somehow more gross when its suspended in water away from your person rather than being that same girl all over her fucking body moments before, but who am I to talk, I take baths in the shower. I’m just glad we stopped the counter-interrogation before someone developed a full blown case of OCD. Peach also brings in more of her disgusting, “found” Dick Show erotic fan fiction. This time, it’s a choose your own adventure story that ends in a cliffhanger. If you want to influence the direction of the next chapter, vote in the survey on Peach’s Twitter and she’ll send the result to whatever deviant weirdo wrote the last two installments. And then…
A Day Without a Woman. It sounds too good to be true, but it’s really happening. This Wednesday the 8th, if you’re a woman who’s fed up with not being able to can’t even, and you live in America, Europe, the UK, Australia, or anywhere where “oppression” is synonymous with being subject to disrespectful Tweets, and you work at the kind of job where you don’t fuck over the rest of your coworkers by not showing up for a day on a whim to go to outrage fantasy camp because you don’t actually do anything and you can just take off work with no consequences, you’re in luck! According to the focus-group-tested, call-to-action, downloadable, sharable media material featured on WomensMarch.com, women won’t be working on March 8th, they the won’t be having sex, and they won’t be shopping for the entire day!
I guess two out of three ain’t bad.
I’ve got a better way women can work to end the wage gap: show up to work. Or better yet, learn how to use sports analogies. Y’all sound like Biff Tannen with your ball hoops and golf sticks and punch men and helmet guards and ref guys and linesman’s butts and why does a quarter say 15 minutes when it really lasts an hour shit.
Then, Madcucks calls in to defend Madbux, his new shill-based currency where you can trade real money, for fake money, and trade said fake money for fake entertainment. It makes less sense to me than Quidditch. Because if Quidditch was actually played, either all the players would just sit on the sidelines and do magic on their dicks because the snitch finders are more important than the pitcher in girl’s softball, or all players would just go after the snitch and the game would be called Soccer and it would last twenty seconds–and then you couldn’t sell tickets or ads and there would be a huge magical riot because there is no guarantee that the game will last for longer than two seconds. Or are we supposed to believe that people aren’t going to riot after a shitty, twenty-second long Quiddich World Cup just because they’re wizards? Wizards are just regular people who conceal carry guns that never need to be reloaded. Every wizard is by default an NRA member and a supporter of the second amendment in its most literal form and wizarding shall not be infringed! Anyway, both are a stupid and overly complicated system and a terrible monetization strategy cooked up by someone who doesn’t know any better.
Phteven calls in to clear up some questions about gender and also to tell the story of Maddox hitting on his girlfriend via Facebook. It’s an interesting story and the corresponding thread on Reddit is an even more interesting read. Apparently, Maddox has a slippery +Friend finger when he’s looking for some steamy chat after a long day of slaving over a hot book. The reported size of the epidemic gives me an Anthony Weiner sized idea! If you’re interested in taking my up on my bounty, you know where to find me. Just put your lips together and email.
In other news, it’s published and it’s official, Cuckmas Carols is #10 on the Billboard comedy charts! It’s the gift that keeps on giving.
Closing re-mix by Samglaze,
Fan art!
And a thumbnail that boldly goes where no thumbnail has gone before by Nope.wmv.
I’ll try to get Madcucks to call in next week for more information on the Cucks Across America tour and also the Bonus Patreon Episode 108!
If you like mansplaining, you might want to pick up a Hot Goss shirt at The Dick Store.

Last Thursday and Friday, a handful of media members from all over gathered at NCAA headquarters in Indianapolis for a mock March Madness tournament selection. We sat at tables with laptops and walls of TV screens positioned the same way the real selection committee’s setup will be in three weeks. We used the same method the real committee uses, with the same software and all the same information that they’ll have, and we did side-by-side bubble-team comparisons until our brains went numb. I say with complete sincerity that it was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done, mostly because it shed light on a process I’ve wondered about for years. Here are a few points worth sharing:
1. Every member of the selection committee uses his or her own preferred set of criteria.
RPI is certainly the most prevalent metric used, but it’s far from the only consideration. Members of the real committee told us that they take into account RPI, Sagarin ratings, KenPom ratings, schedule strength, good wins, bad losses, injuries, suspensions, coaching leaves of absence, winning streaks, losing streaks, success at home vs. away/neutral, margin of victory/defeat, how well a team is playing heading into the tournament, the eye test, and all sorts of other factors. When I asked committee chair Scott Barnes if he considered that some home-court advantages are worth more than others, he answered, “Huh. That’s interesting.” Part of his tone said, “Thanks for a useful perspective I hadn’t thought of,” while the other part said, “I hate so much that you are giving me even more things to think about.”
2. Geography drives everything when it comes to planning the regions.
When we assigned matchups, the very first thing mentioned with literally every team was which site was closest to its campus. This surprised me. It makes sense to do this with the top few seeds since it gives them more fan support. But why do it for lower seeds? “To make travel less burdensome on the players and coaches” was the reason that kept popping up, but come on — it’s 2015. Teams aren’t riding covered wagons and fording rivers to get to their games. Is the difference between a two-hour flight and a five-hour flight — on a chartered plane, mind you — really worth losing some competitive balance in the bracket?
3. It’s impossible to build the bracket without screwing some teams.
This was the most eye-opening part of the mock selection. There are so many restrictions on where teams can play that, to quote fellow mock selection participant Stewart Mandel from Fox Sports, “Sometimes it’s just a matter of finding a combination that works and sticking with it.” For instance, there can’t be two teams from the same conference in the top four seeds of the same region (unless it’s unavoidable because five top-16 teams come from the same conference). The bracket has to be set up so that two teams that have already played each other more than once can’t potentially meet before the Sweet 16. The play-in winners have to play exactly two days after their play-in games, meaning they have to be sent to a first-round site that will play on a specific day. Oh, but that site should also be close, because geography is so important. With so many factors at play, there were a few instances when a conflict arose and we had to backtrack four or five steps to fix it. So in case you were wondering why it always feels like there’s a 1-seed that got screwed and a 1-seed that got a cakewalk to the Final Four, it’s because assembling a bracket that satisfies all the rules is like building a ship in a bottle using nothing but your thumbs.
4. The committee members insist they don’t care about story lines.
During the bracketing process, it was brought to my attention that we’d given Baylor a 4-seed and Valparaiso a 13-seed, meaning a potential brother vs. brother head-coaching matchup between Scott and Bryce Drew was possible. Mandel and I were cochairs of the mock committee and had yet to make any executive decisions, so I decided to put my foot down and make the Drew vs. Drew game happen, even though it meant sending Valpo to Jacksonville for its first game when a spot was open in Louisville. The NCAA officials laughed and said this would never happen in real life. I kept a straight face and told them that maybe it should.
They replied that the only way they’d even acknowledge a potential brother-vs.-brother game was to avoid it, since it might be a distraction for the coaches. Keep in mind that this is coming from the same people who make Louisville play Kentucky, North Carolina play Kansas, and Villanova and Iowa State play the eventual national champion every freaking year.
I’ve always believed that the selection committee needed a story line correspondent, and after experiencing the mock selection, I feel it more strongly than ever. With that, I’d like to nominate myself for the job. Here’s my campaign platform: We need more student vs. teacher coaching matchups, like last year’s first-round game between Manhattan (Steve Masiello) and Louisville (Rick Pitino). We need more in-state matchups that don’t regularly happen, like Dayton–Ohio State in the 2014 first round. We need more games involving high-profile transfers and their old schools. With the exception of Roy Williams vs. Kansas, we need more coaches facing their old schools. We need to pay more attention to styles of play, so we can set up the most entertaining games possible. Get me in the room with the selection committee and I’d see to it that Indiana, Davidson, Notre Dame, Iowa State, BYU, Northwestern State, Ole Miss, Pitt, Murray State, and every other team that scores a ton and plays no defense ends up in the same region. I don’t even care that half of those teams shouldn’t make the tournament. Excitement is all that matters, and that region would blow America’s socks off.
And for God’s sake, how about we try to avoid matchups that would further drive the stake through a particular fan base’s heart? Keep UCLA and Wichita State out of Gonzaga’s region. Keep Kentucky out of Louisville’s region. Keep Arizona out of San Diego State’s region. The last four times Utah advanced to at least the Sweet 16, it ended up losing to Kentucky, and one of those losses came in the 1998 national title game that the Utes were five minutes from winning. Utah just got good again, and it coincidentally happened the same year that Kentucky built an all-time great team. If the selection committee puts the Utes in the same region as the Cats this year, the committee members should all be charged with a hate crime. WHY THE HELL ARE WE WORRIED ABOUT MAKING TEAM FLIGHTS AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE WHEN THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT MATTER MOST?!?!
Ugh. Let’s just get to this week’s mock-selection-influenced edition of the power rankings before I get too worked up.
12. Oklahoma
Oklahoma isn’t playing like the 12th-best team in America right now, but I’m including the Sooners in college basketball’s most powerful power rankings because they’re apparently much better than my eyes are telling me. Or at least that’s what the mock selection committee thought when Oklahoma ended up ninth overall on our seeding list. You read that right — ninth! It was the first 3-seed! This was decided before Saturday, when Kansas State beat Oklahoma for the second time this season, so I guess we should cut my colleagues some slack. But still — if the Sooners are having the ninth-best season in college basketball, maybe the sport really is broken.
As best as I can tell, there are two reasons the mock selection process favored Oklahoma even though the Sooners haven’t been ranked higher than 15th in the AP poll all season. The first is that Oklahoma has played a really difficult schedule, which is another way of saying the team is in the Big 12 and signed up for a competitive early-season tournament. The second reason is this:
Take it from someone who spent two days combing through dozens of NCAA tournament résumés: A 10-4 record against the RPI top 50 is no joke. But look at Oklahoma’s wins more closely and tell me how many of them leave your jaw on the floor. Where is the game that makes fans of other schools pray for Oklahoma to be left out of their team’s region? And can we talk about how Oklahoma has eight losses and four of those came against Kansas State, Washington, and Creighton? That’s what the best 3-seed in America looks like? Are we sure?
11. Notre Dame
The mock selection committee had Oklahoma ranked as the best 3-seed and had Notre Dame as the worst 4-seed. A small contingent wanted to put Oklahoma State above Notre Dame, which would’ve bumped the Irish down to a 5-seed. This is the same Notre Dame team that holds a 23-4 record. It has sole possession of second place in the toughest conference in America. It beat Duke and won at North Carolina. It has no bad losses. I wouldn’t blame you one bit if reading all of this makes you question the validity of the mock selection process. I had a similar reaction. At one point, I got so upset with Notre Dame’s ranking on our board that I turned to Mandel and asked him if everyone on the committee was shitting me. Mandel confirmed that there was no shitting going on. The committee seriously thought that Oklahoma was seven spots better than Notre Dame. YET SOMEHOW I’M THE CRAZY ONE.
What upset me most about Notre Dame being disrespected is that everyone on the committee seemed to be contradicting his or her own standards. Oklahoma was ranked so high because of quality wins? Notre Dame has two wins better than OU’s best win. Utah got a 3-seed because it has no bad losses? Neither does Notre Dame. I have my doubts about whether the Irish can reach the Final Four, but how can you look at their résumé and almost give them a 5-seed? Is it because the Irish played a weak nonconference schedule? That would be a damning detail only if they had lost some of those early games. Instead, they went 12-1, with the only loss being a one-point defeat to NCAA tournament–bound Providence, in which LaDontae Henton played the game of his life and a questionable no-call affected the outcome. You want to talk schedules? Notre Dame has played 14 games in the ACC and is ahead of Duke, Louisville, and North Carolina in the standings — and the mock selection ranked those three teams higher than the Irish!
A 23-4 ACC TEAM WAS ALMOST GIVEN A 5-SEED AND I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN A ROOM WITH ABOUT 40 COLLEGE BASKETBALL PEOPLE WHO SEEMED TO CARE. I hope everyone on the mock committee is reading this, I hope they’re sorry, and I hope the tears they cry as they write their apology notes dry out their skin. My message to them is this:
10. Northern Iowa
First order of business: I want to take a second and welcome the University of Northern Iowa … um … [checks Wikipedia] … Panthers! Welcome, Northern Iowa Panthers, to the most powerful power rankings in college basketball! As is tradition, a school’s first inclusion in the power rankings comes with a celebratory YouTube clip. Let’s all watch Ali Farokhmanesh put his enormous stones on display, and then let’s pretend the refs didn’t make an awful charge call on Tyrel Reed in the ensuing Kansas possession.
Northern Iowa is 24-2 and recently beat the brakes off Wichita State, but the Panthers ranked just 19th in our mock selection, mostly because one of their losses came against Evansville. That’s life as a mid-major. If the Panthers had won that game, they’d probably be a 3-seed, since their only other loss came in double overtime on the road against a healthy VCU team. Instead, they’re a 5-seed with no real way to improve their standing unless they win at Wichita State by 20 and Louisville and North Carolina keep losing to opponents like NC State and Pitt.
9. Utah
The good news: Utah has a great record, a solid schedule, and no bad losses. Delon Wright isn’t having as great of an individual season as he had last year, but this is mostly because Utah is a better team this season and Wright doesn’t have to do as much. He’s still one of the most talented players in America, and he has the potential to dominate in March. Except for a couple of hiccups, the Utes are destroying their Pac-12 competition. They’re deep, they’re talented, KenPom loves them, and they pass the eye test. This explains why the mock committee comfortably gave the Utes a 3-seed.
The bad news: The NCAA tournament won’t be played in Salt Lake City, and Utah’s three best wins away from home are at BYU, at Arizona State, and on a neutral court against UNLV. BYU was barely on the bubble of the bubble’s bubble according to our mock selection, while Arizona State and UNLV might not even make the NIT. The Utes struggle in grind-it-out games. They have played two potential tournament teams on the road in the last two months, and lost both games by double digits. This is why the thought of Utah even knocking on the door of 2-seed consideration for our mock bracket was laughable.
8. Kansas

One of the mock selection committee’s initial tasks was for each member to vote on the top eight teams. This vote was unanimous. Every person in the room agreed that, barring a catastrophic change, the 1- and 2-seeds in this year’s NCAA tournament will be Kentucky, Virginia, Duke, Wisconsin, Gonzaga, Villanova, Kansas, and Arizona, in some order. This was a surprise to the NCAA people, who told us it’s extremely rare for the real committee to reach a unanimous vote on anything. This should tell you how big the gap is between these eight teams and the rest of the field this season. I know this gets said every year, and I know a 7-seed won it all in 2014, but I’ll still be shocked if this year’s national champion isn’t a 1- or a 2-seed.
What I’m saying is this: Don’t worry about Juwan Staten’s travel game winner from Monday, Kansas fans. Don’t worry about the Jayhawks losing two of four, and don’t worry about the Kentucky and Temple blowouts. If Kansas wins the Big 12 outright and advances to at least the semifinals of the Big 12 tournament, the Jayhawks will get at least a 2-seed, especially since they have the highest-rated strength of schedule in the country. So get your Bill Self NCAA Tournament Upset Bingo cards ready, America! We might get to finally cross off the 15- or 7-seed spaces!
7. Arizona
Remember how I mentioned that geography plays a major role in determining where teams end up in the bracket? Arizona’s situation is why this is so important. The four regionals in this year’s tournament will be held in Los Angeles, Houston, Cleveland, and Syracuse. So let’s flesh out the process the mock committee went through. Kentucky is the obvious no. 1 overall seed, which gives the Cats first dibs on a regional. Cleveland being the closest to Lexington makes it the clear choice. From there, Virginia has a substantial lead on the rest of the field for the second 1-seed, which means the Hoos would head to Syracuse. Duke claimed our third 1-seed, which sent the Blue Devils to Houston. This meant that Gonzaga or Wisconsin would end up being the 1-seed in the Los Angeles regional. Here’s where it gets interesting.
It was a close vote, but the mock committee decided to award Wisconsin the final 1-seed. The next step was to assign 2-seeds. Gonzaga was our top 2-seed, which gave the Zags first dibs on the West regional in Los Angeles. Villanova was next and ended up in Syracuse; then Kansas, which landed in Houston. That leaves Arizona in the Cleveland regional with Kentucky.
Let’s see: Sean Miller has been to the Elite Eight three times and never made the Final Four? Arizona has been to the Elite Eight four times in the past 13 years and each trip ended with a one-possession loss in which Arizona had the final possession? And now it looks like Arizona is headed for a regional topped by a team that will enter the tournament 34-0? There might be mass suicides in Tucson if this happens. This looks like a job for the selection committee’s story line correspondent!
There are ways to avoid this, though, Arizona fans: If Gonzaga gets that last 1-seed, Wisconsin goes to Cleveland, Villanova and Kansas probably stick with their regionals, and Arizona ends up in Los Angeles with the Zags. Or if Arizona leaps Kansas in the overall rankings for seeding purposes, maybe the Cats can land in Houston while Kansas goes to Cleveland. Maybe Duke or Virginia will fall to a 2-seed and wind up in Cleveland because they can’t go to Syracuse if the other ACC team is already a 1-seed there. I don’t know. I’m just saying there are options, but only if there’s a shake-up in the top eight. If there isn’t … oof.
Halftime
Joe Robbins/Getty Images
It’s halftime, which can mean only one thing: It’s time for Dick’s Degrees of Separation, the most mildly amusing Internet game involving college basketball! You know the drill: I give you the endpoint of a Dick Vitale tangent and you pick the path he took to get there. Let’s get down to business.
During Saturday’s South Carolina–Kentucky game in Lexington, how did Dick Vitale end up talking about Michigan State?
A. As the camera shows John Calipari before the opening tip, Vitale mentions how Calipari was recently nominated for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Vitale then informs viewers that Bo Ryan was also nominated. After a beat, he calls it a “travesty” that Tom Izzo has yet to be nominated, considering the success Izzo has had at Michigan State.
B. Apropos of nothing, Vitale says, “How about Denzel Valentine on Valentine’s Day hitting the game winner for Michigan State?!” He then immediately returns to discussing the South Carolina–Kentucky game.
C. The camera shows South Carolina’s Frank Martin, prompting Vitale to compliment Martin’s coaching. During his spiel, Vitale mentions that “people forget” how Martin went to the Elite Eight in 2010 with Kansas State. That year, Vitale says, the Wildcats lost to Butler with a Final Four berth on the line. Butler, of course, beat Michigan State in the next game before losing a heartbreaker to Duke in the national championship game.
6. Gonzaga
After the mock committee arrived at a list of teams from 1 to 68, we went back over it one last time as part of the “scrubbing” process. This is when we looked at two teams listed right next to each other, compared their résumés head-to-head, and reevaluated our ordering. We went through the first three teams without much complaint. That changed when we got to Wisconsin at 4 and Gonzaga at 5.
This was the longest and most passionate debate of the entire exercise. Even though they have been lower than the Buzzcuts for weeks on the most powerful power rankings in college basketball, I threw on my Gonzaga armor and went to battle for the Zags. ESPN’s Mike Tirico — who spent the entire two days resisting the urge to scream, “How did I go from calling top-five Big Ten games every week two years ago to watching Nebraska fart the ball toward the basket this season?!” — jumped on the opportunity to defend the one Big Ten team he doesn’t currently hate. Tensions rose, and before you know it I was in Tirico’s face telling him to back the hell off before he got jacked the hell—
Err, maybe that’s not exactly what I said. Anyway, one thing led to another, we threw down in fisticuffs, and I stuck him in the face a couple of times. Sometime later, I woke up at a bar with a groggy head, a beer in front of me, and a smile on Tirico’s face as he raised his glass and said, “‘Hard work pays off, dreams come true. Bad times don’t last, but bad guys do.’ Razor Ramon said that, you guys.” So I guess we worked everything out.
(Note: Most of that isn’t true, but it’s how I’m choosing to remember it.)
In the end, the Wisconsin group prevailed and Gonzaga was stuck with a 2-seed, which ultimately didn’t make much of a difference since the Zags got to stay in the West regional. But it’s the principle that matters: Gonzaga’s résumé, as it stands today, deserves better than a 2-seed. If Wisconsin runs the table from here, Kentucky goes undefeated, and Duke and Virginia distance themselves from the ACC pack, then I’m fine with bumping the Zags down. But not right now — when Duke has a 16-point unranked home loss on its résumé, Wisconsin lost by 10 at home, and the Buzzcuts’ lone win over a ranked opponent was at home vs. no. 25 Iowa.
5. Virginia
Mitchell Layton/Getty Images
Virginia was given the second 1-seed behind Kentucky in our mock bracket, and the Hoos held that spot by a sizable margin. But there are two things about Virginia worth mentioning here:
1. Justin Anderson’s injury was a much hotter topic than I expected.
Hopefully, Anderson will be back before Selection Sunday to make all of this speculation irrelevant. But if he doesn’t return by then, things could get interesting. One mock committee member seriously compared Anderson’s injury to Cincinnati’s Kenyon Martin breaking his leg in 2000. It’s obviously not that bad, and all signs point to Anderson being good to go in March, but I’d be lying if I said his status wasn’t a factor in NCAA tournament seeding discussions.
2. The Wisconsin/Gonzaga debate could spell trouble for Virginia.
For all the talk about whether Gonzaga or Wisconsin deserves the final 1-seed, it should be noted that Virginia and Duke play in the same conference, meaning that one of them has to lose in the ACC tournament. Also, three of Virginia’s final four regular-season games are at Wake Forest (who the Hoos barely survived at home on Saturday), at Syracuse (which will be senior night for a decent team that’s ineligible for postseason play), and at Louisville (a top-15 team that gave the Hoos a good game a couple of weeks ago). Assuming Virginia has to play those games without Anderson, let’s say the Hoos lose one of them and then fall to Duke in the ACC tournament championship. If that happens, the selection committee won’t beat itself up trying to pick between Wisconsin and Gonzaga teams that have won out from this point. They’ll just pick them both, move Virginia to a 2-seed, and send the Hoos to Cleveland with Kentucky because they can’t go to Syracuse with Duke. So yeah, these last few games are enormous for Virginia.
4. Villanova
I’ve been going to Butler basketball games for more than 15 years. I remember my dad and me paying five bucks apiece to sit wherever we wanted in Hinkle Fieldhouse to watch Butler play the Loyola-Chicagos and Valparaisos of the world. Sometimes, like in 2003, when Butler had one of my favorite college basketball teams ever, we went to games because the Bulldogs were good. Other times we went because Hinkle had the best hot dogs in the world and the concession stands gave away the cooked dogs that went unsold at the end of games. Whatever the case, I went to Butler games throughout my childhood. I sat at the end of the visiting team’s bench for a game in Hinkle when I was in college. And I’ve been to a Butler game since I graduated.
There’s a pattern, familiar to Butler fans, for what happens when great teams come to Hinkle. At first, Butler falls behind because it’s physically outmatched. But the visitors never manage to pull away. The crowd is too loud to let them. The gym is too quirky to get comfortable. Sometimes the sun peeks through the side windows and illuminates random patches of the court, which is a huge distraction if you aren’t used to it. The visiting team starts dribbling into dead spots on the floor and losing the ball. Butler hangs around with physical, packed-in defense and an offense that consists of 3s, 3s, garbage runners that hit the rim 30 times before falling, and more 3s. But the Bulldogs never get over the hump and build a lead. That’s because they save it for the end, when every factor gets turned up to 11, Hinkle magic spreads over everything, and Butler pulls out a miracle win that Butler fans act like they never saw coming, even though it happens every time.
Here’s the point: Villanova wasn’t supposed to beat Butler on Saturday. Hinkle was twice as loud as I’ve ever heard it. Butler was desperate for a win and a share of first place in the Big East. And every second of that game followed the script. When Darrun Hilliard hit his game-winning 3, part of me wondered if it was the right strategic move: Well, the good news is that the 3 just gave you a three-point lead with 1.2 seconds to play. The bad news is that you left Butler plenty of time to draw up a play in which the Bulldogs get fouled as they hit a 3, miss the free throw on purpose, and then tap the rebound to a shooter who hits another 3 as he gets fouled at the buzzer. He sinks the free throw and you lose by four. Thanks for visiting Hinkle Fieldhouse. Here are some free hot dogs for the ride home.
And that’s almost what happened! Butler got a great look to send it to overtime (because of course), but it fell short. And yet, even if that game had gone to overtime and everything I’ve learned from years of Hinkle games told me Butler would win, I get the feeling Hilliard would never have let it happen. He was in hero mode and then some on Saturday. Butler students will probably be dressing as Hilliard next Halloween, since he’s the scariest thing to set foot on Butler’s campus since Matt Howard grew out his mustache. Every time Hilliard got an open look in the second half, there was a collective shriek of terror from the Butler crowd. After he drained his seventh 3 of the game, a Butler fan sitting behind me pleaded for mercy: “We get it — you’re a good shooter! Please stop now!”
Last week, I wrote that Villanova is a serious national title contender, even if most of the country hasn’t realized it yet. With the Wildcats’ recent wins at Butler and at Providence — two NCAA tournament locks — now seems like a good time for America to come around. Villanova is playing as well as anyone in the country right now, and even though you probably aren’t hearing them mentioned as a potential 1-seed, the Wildcats are closer to the top of the bracket than you think.
3. Duke
Grant Halverson/Getty Images
My biggest regret from the mock selection exercise is that I didn’t openly question whether Duke deserved a 1-seed. The ensuing discussion would’ve gone nowhere, of course, because all the participants were blown away by Duke’s wins at Virginia, at Wisconsin, and at Louisville. And when push comes to shove, even I think the Blue Devils deserve a 1-seed as of now. It’s just that, given how strongly some people felt about Wisconsin or Gonzaga, I couldn’t believe no one would consider bumping down the Blue Devils to accommodate the Buzzcuts and Zags. At its best, Duke might be better than anyone. But are we really going to ignore that 16-point home loss to Miami? Hell, Duke’s second-worst loss of the season — by 12 at NC State — is still worse than any of the other potential 1-seeds’ losses.
It was as if the mock selection committee had been so preoccupied by this shiny toy (wins at Virginia and Wisconsin) that its members didn’t notice the kitchen was on fire. If it wasn’t already obvious from how our committee treated Oklahoma, good wins carried more weight than bad losses, which is a line of thought that some real committee members said they share. As one of the actual committee members put it: “I care more about who you can beat than who can beat you.” This bodes well for Duke, who can beat anyone.
2. Wisconsin
I touched on this in the Arizona section earlier, but it’s worth revisiting for Wisconsin fans who just scrolled down to read about the Buzzcuts: Unless it gets a 1-seed, Wisconsin will almost certainly be in Kentucky’s regional. That’s just how the geography shakes out. If UK remains undefeated, the Wildcats will end up in Cleveland. And no matter where Wisconsin ends up on the 2-seed line, the Buzzcuts will be the obvious choice to put in Cleveland, too. The only conceivable ways to avoid this fate would be for Louisville and/or Notre Dame to receive a 2-seed (highly unlikely), for Wisconsin to tank and get a 3-seed (also unlikely), or for the Buzzcuts to win out and get a 1-seed.
I know — I’ve been making too much of being in Kentucky’s regional. If Wisconsin wants to win a national title, then it has to beat Kentucky at some point, right? Well, no. Someone has to beat Kentucky, but it doesn’t have to be the Buzzcuts. Let someone else do it and then beat that someone else. The longer Wisconsin (or any team, for that matter) can avoid Kentucky, the better.
But, you might be thinking, wouldn’t Wisconsin get first dibs on where it goes if it’s the top 2-seed? Wouldn’t the committee send the Buzzcuts to Houston or Syracuse to keep them away from Kentucky? Not necessarily. The committee doesn’t use the snake system, which is to say that the top 2-seed doesn’t necessarily end up in the same regional as the weakest 1-seed, because, as we know, geography is the most important thing in the world. We actually had a similar situation in the mock selection with Louisville. Geographically speaking, Cleveland was the obvious choice for the Cards, but some participants thought it would be too cruel to put Louisville in Kentucky’s region. The only alternative, though, was to send Louisville to Los Angeles. Some of us argued that the cross-country travel was still preferable to sharing a regional with Kentucky. But our NCAA overseers told us this wouldn’t happen with the real committee because “we can’t speculate on what Rick Pitino would prefer.”
And that’s where I call bullshit. It’s obvious what Pitino would prefer. Wouldn’t you rather win 2,000 miles from home than have friends and family in the crowd to watch you get your ass kicked?
1. Kentucky
The only time Kentucky was mentioned during the mock selection process was when participants asked, “Could [insert team here] beat Kentucky?” (That makes it a minor miracle that we didn’t end up giving the Philadelphia 76ers a 2-seed.) But seriously — Kentucky was never discussed. We unanimously put the Cats at no. 1 overall and immediately moved on to other teams. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but it was weird to be in a room full of college basketball people and not talk about the 26-0 wire-to-wire no. 1 team in the country. That’s really all you need to know about Kentucky’s NCAA tournament status right now.
Wait. I lied. Kentucky did get mentioned once. After 14 hours of deliberation, when the entire bracket was set, I said to the room: “This was a ton of work just to hand a trophy to Kentucky in a few weeks.” Some people laughed. I didn’t.
The Dancing Benchwarmer of the Week
With about four minutes left in BYU’s game against Pacific on Saturday, Skyler Halford hit a 3 to give the Cougars a 16-point lead. Jake Toolson reacted as only a college basketball benchwarmer could.
The best part about this is that Toolson started dancing as soon as Halford released the ball, leaving open the possibility that Halford would miss and Toolson would look like an idiot. The second-best part of this is that it reminds me of the legendary Ben McLemore locker room dance.
The Dick’s Degrees of Separation answer is B. See you next week. | positive |
Ted Nugent just brought to light one important detail that I guarantee none of these Islamic terrorists have even considered. In the Islamic religion, pork and pork products are forbidden because the pig is considered an impure animal. In a Facebook post Ted writes…
Chimps & pigs, a match made in hell. ES&D voodooallahpukes. Percy the pig makes for an extremely interesting read. I never knew pigs were in most products!! Every Muslim who has ever handled TNT, Nitro, Bullets, High Explosive Bombs, Rocket Launchers or been treated for cuts injury requiring stitches, or taken antibiotics, or Vitamin Capsules, has been contaminated with Pig Products.
The ironical part is that when a Suicide Bomber blows himself up his body parts are impregnated with Gelatine and Glycerine from the explosive. Both Gelatine and Glycerine are manufactured from Pigs worldwide.. Ergo, they will never be accepted by Allah. Some makers of cigarettes use haemoglobin from pig’s blood in their filters. Apparently this element works as a sort of ‘artificial lung’ in the cigarette so, they claim, ‘harmful reactions take place before the chemicals reach the user’, (enter the Pig.) Pig bone gelatine is used to help transport gunpowder or cordite into the bullet. Insulin, the blood-thinning drug heparin and pig heart valves all vital. The complex workings of the global food and processing industry have ensured that it is impossible to avoid pig altogether. There is no legal obligation for manufacturers to specify whether the gelatine they use is from a pig or another animal. When it is specified, it is often confusingly referred to as Suilline gelatine. So to all prospective Suicide Bombers, ISIS and innocent, good Muslims, I say, “Have a Nice Day” from “Percy” the wonderful Pig.
Looks like these Muslim terrorists are in for a rude awakening when they reach the afterlife! Thanks for the good news Ted!!

With your head close to the walls to look across the surface, look for dimples and / or bumps. Lightly mark the dimples and bumps with a pencil. The dimples should only be the size of of a nail or screw head, and the bumps the same size to slightly larger. Try to find two or more close together across the wall's surface left and right and up and down. If none can be found where needed, continue on to the next steps.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/9\/96\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-2.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/9\/96\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-2.jpg\/v4-760px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":760,"bigHeight":570} 2 Inspect baseboard molding. Look directly at the molding along the entire length for exposed nail heads or evidence of wood filler placed over the nail heads. If not plainly evident (covered, painted, etc.), again, lightly indicate the locations with a pencil. Try to find two or more nail heads left and right along the molding.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/7\/74\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-3.jpg\/v4-460px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-3.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/7\/74\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-3.jpg\/v4-760px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-3.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":760,"bigHeight":570} 3 Determine if any dimples or bumps in the wall are aligned directly above each other - including those that were found on the baseboard molding. The more found in a vertical row, the more likely it is that under the bumps and dimples are the nails or screws that were used to secure the wallboard to the studs.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/d2\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-4.jpg\/v4-460px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-4.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/d\/d2\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-4.jpg\/v4-760px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-4.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":760,"bigHeight":570} 4 Accurately measure the distance between the vertical rows of the nail / screw heads found above. It will likely be 16 or 24 inches (40.6 or 61.0 cm), with the 16 inch (40.6 cm) measurement being far more common.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/cf\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-5.jpg\/v4-460px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-5.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/c\/cf\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-5.jpg\/v4-760px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-5.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":760,"bigHeight":570} 5 The measurement found between will repeat. Use the repeating measurement to help project the location of the next stud. The 16 inch (40.6 cm) centered studs will be found at 16", 32", 48" etc. from nearly any stud found. Likewise, the 24 inch (61.0 cm) centered studs will be found 24", 48", 72" etc from nearly any stud found. Places where the distance may be less than the 16" or 24" multiplier can occur at wall corners, doorways and windows.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/7\/7b\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-6.jpg\/v4-460px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-6.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/7\/7b\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-6.jpg\/v4-760px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-6.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":760,"bigHeight":570} 6 Locate a stud by finding an electrical outlet, preferably one not in close proximity to corners, doorways or windows.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/a6\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-7.jpg\/v4-460px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-7.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/a6\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-7.jpg\/v4-760px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-7.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":760,"bigHeight":570} 7 Remove the wall plate from the outlet.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/3\/38\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-8.jpg\/v4-460px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-8.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/3\/38\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-8.jpg\/v4-760px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-8.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":760,"bigHeight":570} 8 If the stud is not visible, carefully probe against the outside the box (to the left and right) with a very thin screwdriver or awl (a short, straight piece of coat hanger cut at a 45 degree angle works very well; bend it at a 90 degree angle to hold comfortably). Press the probe in into the wallboard or plaster at an angle pointed away from the box. Since most electrical outlets boxes are installed before the walls are finished, they are supported by studs. The box would likely be supported on the right or left side, by the stud. If the probe passes unobstructed into the void beside the box, the stud is likely on the other side. Probe the other side similarly. If it only passes a short distance before stopping, this is likely the stud location. If it does not, it is possible that the outlet was installed after the walls were finished, and the wallboard or lathe is supporting the outlet instead of a stud. Try the same procedure at another outlet on the same wall.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/9\/99\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-9.jpg\/v4-460px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-9.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/9\/99\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-9.jpg\/v4-760px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-9.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":760,"bigHeight":570} 9 Probing at a light switch, since they are generally at doorways, will not provide an accurate indication of where additional studs may be - as mentioned above. Of course, if a location above a switch is needed, the switch box should be probed similarly to the outlet box procedure to determine which side of the box the stud is located.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/ab\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-10.jpg\/v4-460px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-10.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/ab\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-10.jpg\/v4-760px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-10.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":760,"bigHeight":570} 10 Project the stud closest to the desired location for the support of the shelf, picture, etc. Using the measurement multiple determined above, find the stud 16, 32, 48 etc., or in the case of 24 inch (61.0 cm) centers, 24, 48, 72 etc. inches away from the closest stud found - along the baseboard molding. Lightly mark this spot on the baseboard with a pencil. With a specific area to look for evidence of a stud, carefully look again for dimples and / or bumps in the wall, or filler in the baseboard.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/1\/16\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-11.jpg\/v4-460px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-11.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/1\/16\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-11.jpg\/v4-760px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-11.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":760,"bigHeight":570} 11 If no evidence found, carefully probe directly above the baseboard where is meets the wallboard. When voids are found, move left or right about 1/4" or less and probe again. Continue to probe until the probe finds the stud.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/a2\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-12.jpg\/v4-460px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-12.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/a2\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-12.jpg\/v4-760px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-12.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":760,"bigHeight":570} 12 Once found, continue to probe to determine the leading and trailing edge of the stud. The stud should be approximately 1 - 1/2" thick. Ideally, any screw or fastener to be secured to the stud should be located in the center of the stud for maximum holding power.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/7\/77\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-13.jpg\/v4-460px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-13.jpg","bigUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/7\/77\/Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-13.jpg\/v4-760px-Find-a-Wood-Stud-in-a-Wall-to-Hang-Pictures-On-Step-13.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":760,"bigHeight":570} 13 Project the center of the stud vertically to the height desired. Probe this location straight in and if obstructed, probe thru the same point at a 45 degree angle to the left and then right. Push hard when probing at the angle. This is to help ensure that the location is not at the edge of the stud. | positive |

After trying out a recipe for Hibachi rice with yum yum sauce, we’ll be continuing the hibachi experience. So today we’re making some Hibachi noodles. Keep in mind, I’m basing this off what my eyes told me after countless Hibachi dinners. It’s one of my favorite parts of the Hibachi experience and after several trips over many years, I’ve come to realize what makes the noodles so addictive and special. The butter. There’s just tons of it. And this makes for the creamiest Asian-inspired noodle dish you can eat.
Bad for you I know. But once in awhile, let’s indulge. Hibachi rice with yum yum sauce was a popular post for me back when the blog was first starting out and I couldn’t figure out why other stuff wasn’t doing as well. Now I get it. People love the food and want to try saving money by making their favorite parts at home. So if the noodles are your favorite part about hibachi, let’s start!
It seems deceptively easy but who knows. I know there’s copious amounts of butter and then some garlic. Then in went the linguine (I’m not sure what noodles they use at your Hibachi place but at Kobe’s Japanese Steakhouse it looks suspiciously like linguine…small in width but not as wide as rice noodles and flat) and some thin, watery black sauce that looks suspiciously like soy sauce but isn’t as salty. Or maybe the saltiness is balanced out by the sugar that follows. I’m beginning to suspect that black sauce is a mixture of some kind; soy sauce and maybe something with teriyaki sauce elements. When someone asked at my table, they said it was Coca-Cola. Uh huh, Back to the cooking: sugar, salt and pepper and more mixing and finally it’s heaped onto everyone’s plate and topped with sesame seeds. And if you want to give it some kick, toss in a few red pepper flakes.
Well that’s my take anyway. If you know any better or if you are/were a Hibachi chef in training and don’t mind divulging the secrets, I’m all ears. Give it to me! For now, this is the best I can do. Since I don’t have those fancy grill thingies they have at hibachi places, I cooked mine in a stir-fry pan big enough to handle the mixing of the noodles. You won’t get the slightly charred and mixed flavor from all food being cooked in one place (rice, meat, noodles) but it works.
Simple. Delicious noodles. | positive |

NEW YORK — NASCAR has undergone significant format modifications this season in an attempt to bolster its reach, but additional major changes are unlikely.
"More tweaks, if any at all are made, they'd be minor because we believe the current format we have is built to stand a long time," NASCAR chairman Brian France said Friday at a conference with sports editors.
NASCAR is 11 races into the 2014 Sprint Cup Series schedule under the new format, which results in a winner-take-all championship race for the first time in its history. The previous format was a 10-race playoff, in which points were given based on finish to determine a champion.

"What I was most concerned with was listening to drivers get out of the car and settling for second, fourth or fifth place," France said. "In the old format, that was a good day, arguably. With all the young drivers that we have coming, that's not the culture of competition we want to have in NASCAR. Our championship is so important. It makes a lot of money and it's obviously the most prestigious motorsports championship, we think, in the world. So understandably, they'll race to whatever format that achieves that goal."
France suggested that the changes to the championship structure has altered the way drivers race, forcing them to increase "taking risks" and being more aggressive in the pursuit of victories, as opposed to securing points.
When weighing safety, however, France didn't indicate that more changes would be likely, despite several calls from drivers to install SAFER barriers that help absorb crash impacts to any parts of racetrack walls that have concrete.
"We're going to put SAFER walls wherever it's necessary," France said. "There are parts of the track that we may determine aren't necessary for those walls. When and if we think they are, we'll obviously make sure that happens. We do add SAFER walls to the inside areas depending on if it's necessary.
"We'll do it wherever it's appropriate. Period. We already have. We've been clear about that. We don't think it's necessary, as an example, to do it on pit lane, because they're not running fast enough and it wouldn't make any sense to do that, so wherever it's appropriate, we'll do it."
Since each race track is different, there are challenges to installing SAFER walls in all places where cars are exposed to concrete. According to France, several factors determine whether or not the barriers are necessary.
"It's determined by where it is on the track," France said. "As I said and as an example, there are no SAFER barriers on pit road, even though there's obviously a crash wall. The vast majority of the speedways in the primary racing surface have SAFER barriers. There might be a gate. There might be something that's inside. Remember, you've got 18 or 19 different speedways, all configured differently, some have very abrupt inside retaining walls for the track. It might be grass, where it's just not going to be necessary to put the SAFER walls in certain places, in our view. But when we do, when it's necessary, we will."
According to France, when NASCAR mandates that a SAFER wall be installed, the respective track is responsible for the cost.
Last month, Denny Hamlin was the latest driver to speak out about the need to install more of the SAFER walls.
"Well they always seek it out," France said. "That's not anything new, one thing or another. Most of the time, we're the ones mandating safety changes and often they don't do it with all safety changes, but they don't always think that each and every one of them are entirely in the right direction, so it's not surprising from time to time that they have different views on that.
"We do listen to them – carefully."

Donald Trump isn’t taking losing the Iowa caucuses lightly. After a brief effort to appear statesmanlike and spin his success positively, Trump is now accusing Texas Sen. Ted Cruz of stealing his first-place victory and calling for Cruz’s win to be nullified or for a new Iowa vote to take place.
“Ted Cruz didn’t win Iowa, he illegally stole it,” Trump wrote in a tweet, since deleted. “That is why all of the polls were so wrong any[sic] why he got far more votes than anticipated. Bad!”
Trump quickly deleted his original tweet, and then tweeted it again without the word “illegally” and fixing the typo.
Trump went on to reference allegations that Cruz’s campaign wrongly telling caucus-goers that Ben Carson was dropping out of the race—a tactic Cruz apologized for Tuesday.

He went on to call for action to remedy what he saw as inappropriate action.
On Tuesday, Trump declared the Cruz campaign’s efforts around Carson “a disgrace.”
“What he did to Ben Carson was terrible,” Trump said. “When they said Ben Carson is out of the race and come vote for him, I thought it was terrible.”

"Sometimes all you need is a good pair of heels," she captioned one of the photos. Though definitely NSFW, the images are tasteful and the rapper covers up her naughty bits rather nicely. Over the weekend, the rapper announced that her Surviving the Summer EP is slated for a July 6 release date. The album was supposed to come out June 2 but was delayed because of some internal reorganization happening at her label. "My record label, Island records, is changing presidents this month," the rapper tweeted. "We have to allow time for everyone in the company to re-organise, its a big change! I'm really happy to welcome the new Island Records president cant wait to release this EP with him leading the team!" Back in February, she released the album's first single, "Savior," and later lamented on its failure to chart and less-than-impressive streaming number, claiming she only has "like 60" fans.

Bungie’s upcoming Destiny 2 is going to be more than just a fresh start when it comes to the game’s quests, multiplayer structure, and expansive list of guns, armor, and other collectibles. In a brutally honest interview with Kotaku’s Jason Schreier this week at E3, game director Luke Smith says the development team is effectively rebooting the core narrative pillar of the Destiny universe. It’s all starting with a complete scrubbing of any mention of The Darkness, the ominous yet vague unifying force players fought against in the first game. It turns out that not even Bungie knew what it was supposed to be or even stand for.
“So, I think that at a point, just totally candidly? We had no idea what it was. Straight up. We had no clue,” Smith says of The Darkness. It’s a surprising admission from the typically tight-lipped public-facing members of Bungie, but it shouldn’t really shock any hardcore fans of Destiny. The Darkness always felt like a lazy stand-in for evil or the bad guys — it started as the underlying reason to fight back, but it was never fully fleshed out as a narrative tool. “We didn’t know what it was, and we, for a period, we chose [that] we’re going to lump all the races [in together], and you see this in the tooltips in the game — ‘minions of the darkness.’ And we had taken all the races and said, ‘Ah, they’ll just be The Darkness.’ But that’s not what the IP deserves.”
“We had no idea what it was. Straight up. We had no clue.”
Smith makes a good point. When taken collectively with the rest of the game’s terminology, players were left with a plot that sounded shallow and silly. You were “Guardians” of “The Light,” protected and revived by “The Traveler” to fight “The Darkness.” None of it really made all that much sense, despite Bungie doing a rather fantastic job post-launch of filling out the back stories of the game’s main villains and crafting interesting histories for the evil alien races you fought against.
So it makes sense that those alien races are sticking around. Destiny 2 will start out with players facing down Dominus Ghaul of the Red Legion, a militaristic force of the antagonistic Cabal race that takes the Traveler hostage and robs you of all your powers and gear. Bungie isn’t referring to Ghaul as a servant of The Darkness. Rather, he’s an oppressive villain who appears to want more power, and he’ll destroy Earth’s last line of defense in order to do so. “What we’re doing with Destiny 2 is, we are deliberately telling a story about the Light,” Smith says. “And what it means to be chosen. And as such, we’re in the process of removing the term ‘Darkness’ from the game.”
This narrative retconning of The Darkness makes good business sense, too. Bungie was never going to be able to continue building out the Destiny world if it all catered to a dwindling user base of existing players. And a sequel wouldn’t make any sense if it put players new to the franchise at an unfair disadvantage, or if it were designed only to please seasoned Destiny veterans. By starting fresh both from a system and story level, Bungie is able to create a brand-new entity that should, hopefully, reach far more players than if it were just another piece of tacked-on downloadable content.
This isn’t the absolute end for The Darkness, Smith says. After all, the Traveler — that big and seemingly sentient planet-sized orb that hangs over Earth — is still a giant and enticing mystery, as is the reason so many alien races want to destroy it. Yet Bungie is just being more considerate about how it tells stories, and it’s taking the necessary steps to rebuild its world with more care. “Because when we’re going to talk about Darkness next, we need to know what it is and have a plan for it,” Smith says. “And we do.” | positive |

Cameroon will play in the Confederations Cup for the first time since 2003 -- a tournament forever remembered for the tragic death of Marc-Vivien Foe.
The midfielder was just 28 when he collapsed and died on the pitch in Lyon during a semifinal victory over Colombia.
He was later found to have suffered from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy -- a rare hereditary heart condition, which affects fewer than 0.2 percent of people.
Foe will be in the thoughts of many Cameroon players and supporters when they kick off the tournament against Chile on Sunday.
"We want to play well for him -- to honour and respect what he did for Cameroon," said Arnaud Djoum, who has been given the same No. 17 shirt as Foe for the tournament in Russia.
Those tributes will also be a pertinent reminder for many Manchester City fans -- the club he was playing for when he died.
Just two months before his death, Foe had written in his name in the club's history books by scoring the last City goal in the final season at their old Maine Road stadium.
Typical of City at the time, it wasn't the last goal at the ground. That honour went to Southampton's Michael Svensson although Foe almost claimed that too, only for a late shot in the final game of the season to be kept out by goalkeeper Paul Jones.
Foe had joined City on a season-long loan from Lyon the previous summer with the view to permanent deal, which City were likely to enact after he made an instant impact for Kevin Keegan's side.
He played in all-but three of their Premier League games, scoring nine goals as City finished a creditable ninth -- their highest finish in a decade and coming just after they had secured promotion from the Championship.
Foe was a hugely popular figure in the City dressing room and Keegan was too distraught to comment after initially hearing about his death.
"Marc was not only a special footballer but a very special person," he said later. "We will all miss his smile and his personality.
"Nothing was ever too much trouble for him and he was the ultimate professional loved by everyone in the dressing room and the boardroom.
"It was a privilege to work with him for the past year and we were still in the process of trying to negotiate a deal that would have made him a City player."
The club retired his No.23 shirt and fans laid wreaths and tributes at the ground.
Marc-Vivien Foe made a huge impact for Cameroon and in England with Manchester City and West Ham.
But City weren't the only club where Foe had made a significant impact. After making his debut as a teenager for Canon de Yaounde -- one of Cameroon's leading teams -- he moved to Lens, where he won Ligue 1, and then on to West Ham for a then club record fee of £4.2m in 1999.
Former Hammers manager Harry Redknapp remained a fan of the player and was even trying to take him to his new club Portsmouth.
"He had a good season at Manchester City last season and I was interested in signing him and give him a two-year contract and we've been discussing it," Redknapp said.
"It's just come as such a shock, he was in such good physical condition as, he looks after himself and you couldn't meet a nicer boy than Marc, he was a fantastic person." Foe's time in Manchester could have been entirely different had he not broken his leg shortly before the 1998 World Cup with Sir Alex Ferguson keen on taking him to Old Trafford.
That injury had been a major setback but in his final season at City, Foe returned to the sort of form that had made him one of the most exciting central midfielders in Europe.
Cameroon's final Confederations Cup game against Germany on June 25 is the day before the 14th anniversary of Foe's death. His impact and sad loss is still being felt in Europe as well as Africa.

There are few more entrenched areas of debate than climate change. A blogpost by Dana Nuccitelli on January 21, “Matt Ridley wants to gamble the earth’s future because he won’t learn from the past”, garnered 514 comments. The post criticised Lord Ridley’s views as expressed in an article in the Times.
The opening paragraph said: “Have you ever watched a zombie movie and wondered if the protagonists will grow physically tired from having to repeatedly kill zombies that inevitably rise once again from the dead? That’s how people often feel when confronted with climate change myths that were debunked years ago. These myths never seem to stay dead, inevitably being revived by climate contrarians no matter how conclusively and repeatedly they’ve been debunked.” The blogpost used the zombie analogy to discuss Lord Ridley’s views, illustrated by a photograph taken at a festival of someone carrying a dummy zombie head.
Among the comments were two from “Bluecloud”, which elicited the following complaint from Lord Ridley: “Beneath the article appeared the following comment from ‘Bluecloud’: ‘Should that not be Ridley’s severed head in the photo?’ ‘Bluecloud’ was challenged by another commenter with: ‘Do you recommend that for all people that have a different world view than you?’ ‘Bluecloud’ replied: ‘We would actually solve a great deal of the world’s problems by chopping off everyone’s heads.
‘Why are you deniers so touchy? Mere calls for a beheading evolve such a strong response in you people. Ask yourself a simple question: Would the world be a better place without Matt Ridley? Need I answer that question?’”
Lord Ridley went on to say that the repetition by “Bluecloud” showed he had not been “misunderstood in his death threat”. He also pointed out that the comment was made a few days before the beheading of a Japanese hostage in Syria.
There was a further comment that identified “Bluecloud” as Gary Evans. The comment that “outed” him was removed by moderators but the two comments by him as “Bluecloud”, which involved beheading, were not.
This lies at the heart of Lord Ridley’s complaint. He wrote to me on 30 January: “Incredibly, this comment, outing Mr Evans, was then removed by the moderators, because apparently it was more offensive to the Guardian community than the recommendation that I be beheaded…Accordingly, I would like to lodge a formal complaint that the Guardian censored criticism of a Guardian contributor who twice made explicit death threats against a named individual, while not censoring the death threats themselves, and refused reasonable requests for redress.”
Lord Ridley wanted a public apology.
The Guardian’s moderation team oversee 50,000 comments a day. As I responded to Lord Ridley 11 days after his complaint with an apology for delay: “‘Bluecloud’’s beheading comment was posted on 22 January at 11.32am. The moderators didn’t remove it immediately because it wasn’t seen as a credible threat at that time; the tone and nature of the comment suggested that it wasn’t serious and thus fell into the realms of bad taste rather than a genuine wish that you be harmed.
“However, a moderator took it down the next day (23) at 9.47pm because the story about the Isis hostages was now dominating the news agenda.” The moderators felt this context made the comment cross into something beyond bad taste whatever the original intent. In total it was up for nearly 35 hours. The comment outing “Bluecloud” was removed because it is against the Guardian’s community guidelines to identify any poster. However, a link in his Guardian profile goes back to his own blog, which identifies him although that was not immediately apparent when the comment was taken down.
I contacted Evans, who wrote one piece for the Guardian five years ago and is thoroughly contrite and apologised for his “stupid” comments: “I will not seek to defend them and I apologise for any trouble this may have caused to anyone involved. My first comment was made without thinking as a provocative response to the zombie image. The second was really inexcusable. It was too late for me to apologise on the thread by the time I had found the time to consider my actions.”
The web and particularly the threads are a robust environment but I think we should have taken the beheading comment down as soon as it was reported, even though I agree with the moderators that it was an attempt at a joke rather than anything else. I think the “Bluecloud” comment falls squarely within rule 3 of the Community guidelines: “We understand that people often feel strongly about issues debated on the site, but we will consider removing any content that others might find extremely offensive or threatening.”
When beheadings have been such a tragic part of the news agenda for so many months the choice of a severed head as the accompanying photograph was an error. It seems unlikely to me that the offending comments would have been made had the picture not been what it was. For that reason and the length of time it took to remove the comments, I think Lord Ridley deserves an apology, which I am happy to give on behalf of the Guardian. | positive |

Steve Trinder UK Highlights GDP growth 0.50% Quarter 4 (Oct to Dec) 2015 CPI inflation has been recorded at 0.30% in January 2016 For October to December 2015, 74.1% of people aged from 16 to 64 were in work, the highest employment rate since comparable records began in 1971. The unemployment rate for October to December 2015 was 5.1%, down from 5.7% for a year earlier. UK Ranked 4th in standard of living across the 28 EU Countries Summary of Producer Price Inflation, January 2016 Figure A: Output prices UK, January 2012 to January 2016 Output price “factory gate” annual inflation for all manufactured products 1.0% in the year to January 2016, compared with a fall of 1.4% in the year to December 2015. Month on month the output price measure for all manufactured products decreased 0.1% between December 2015 and January 2016, compared with a decrease of 0.3% last month. The “narrow” output price measure, which leaves out volatile sectors, showed no movement in the year to January 2016, compared with a fall of 0.1% in the year to December 2015. Figure B: Input prices (materials and fuel) manufacturing industry UK, January 2012 to January 2016 Input price annual inflation fell 7.6% in the year to January 2016, compared with a fall of 10.4% in the year to December 2015. Month on month, the input price measure of UK manufacturers’ materials and fuels, fell 0.7% between December 2015 and January 2016, compared with a fall of 0.3% last month. The “narrow” input price measure fell 4.7% in the year to January 2016. In seasonally adjusted terms the price rose 0.6% between December 2015 and January 2016. Source: Office for National Statistics World Economic Outlook – Update Global growth, currently estimated at 3.1 percent in 2015, is projected at 3.4 percent in 2016 and 3.6 percent in 2017. The pickup in global activity is projected to be more gradual than in the October 2015 World Economic Outlook (WEO), especially in emerging market and developing economies. In advanced economies, a modest and uneven recovery is expected to continue, with a gradual further narrowing of output gaps. The picture for emerging market and developing economies is diverse but in many cases challenging. The slowdown and rebalancing of the Chinese economy, lower commodity prices, and strains in some large emerging market economies will continue to weigh on growth prospects in 2016–17. The projected pickup in growth in the next two years — despite the ongoing slowdown in China — primarily reflects forecasts of a gradual improvement of growth rates in countries currently in economic distress, notably Brazil, Russia, and some countries in the Middle East, though even this projected partial recovery could be frustrated by new economic or political shocks. Risks to the global outlook remain tilted to the downside and relate to ongoing adjustments in the global economy: a generalized slowdown in emerging market economies, China’s rebalancing, lower commodity prices, and the gradual exit from extraordinarily accommodative monetary conditions in the United States. If these key challenges are not successfully managed, global growth could be derailed.

Back in 2008 McAfee researcher Toralv Dirro posted a blog on new malware growth slowing – admittedly from an exponential rate to straightforward linear growth – around 20,000 new malware samples each day. He then went on to say that “Now with constant, although still massive, growth there is some light at the end of the tunnel for the security industry”.
Unfortunately this 2008 malware plateau was a temporary respite – by 2010 new malware creation had tripled to 63,000 and in 2015 the quantity received by PandaLabs topped out at 230,000 new samples every day.
Over the last 12 months PandaLabs have seen a levelling-out of new malware at around 200,000 samples per day. This trend is verified by statistics from malware lab AV-Test, and it would appear for the first time in forever the amount of new malware samples released this year will be lower than the previous year.
For 2016 the red section shows current new malware registered by AV-Test up to 16th Nov and the blue section projects this malware to year end – less than last year.
So we’re all safer now, right?
Wrong. There are still 200,000 new malware samples every day and cyber-attacks are showing they are more dangerous than ever – with cybercrime making up more than 50% of crimes committed in some countries.
This new malware creation plateau can be attributed to:
Less traditional malware – Viruses and worms are being dropped in favour of Trojans, especially ransomware.
– Viruses and worms are being dropped in favour of Trojans, especially ransomware. Highly targeted malware attacks – Upwards of 90% of malware is unique to a specific endpoint rendering signature and heuristic detection useless, and the samples less likely to reach malware labs.
– Upwards of 90% of malware is unique to a specific endpoint rendering signature and heuristic detection useless, and the samples less likely to reach malware labs. Self-destruct malware – we are seeing examples of Ransomware and APTs that once successful in their mission delete themselves, as if antivirus vendors can’t identify the malware it can be used again.
Also attackers are using alternative techniques to gain access:
Social engineering – the amount of data freely available on for businesses and endusers online means compromising their systems can be done without malware.

Once in the crooks have easy access to your data or can use your devices to conduct Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on others.
To combat the evolving threat landscape Gartner recommend that businesses improve their existing security with Endpoint Detection and Response solutions, such as Panda Adaptive Defense.

A frequent question asked of our firm is whether an applicant for FAA medical certification needs to report his or her receipt of VA disability benefits to the FAA. There seems to be a good deal of confusion, somewhat caused by the Department of Veteran’s Affairs, as to whether disability benefits are reportable. Question 18y., which specifically asks whether in the applicant’s lifetime he or she has received “medical disability benefits,” can be a bit confusing. Many veterans consider their VA disability benefits to be compensation for their service, rather than a disability. The FAA’s position, however, is that VA disability benefits are reportable on question 18y. on Form 8500-8, the application for airman medical certification. Reporting your VA disability benefits on your FAA medical application does not have to result in the denial of your application. Some, if not most, medical conditions for which veterans receive compensation are not conditions which are aeromedically significant. Whereas some conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”), traumatic brain injury (“TBI”), and obstructive sleep apnea (“OSA”), may warrant further evaluation by the FAA, even those conditions, in many situations, can be overcome to establish an airman’s eligibility for FAA medical certification. If you have failed to report your VA disability benefits on your FAA medical application, you need to act immediately. In the event the FAA or the VA discovers your failure to report your VA benefits, as required, the FAA could take action to revoke your airman certificate(s), as well as your medical certificate. In rarer cases, there may be criminal action which can be pursued against you for failure to appropriately report your VA disability benefits on your FAA medical application. Fortunately, the FAA’s sanction guidelines provide an opportunity to take corrective action, which frequently avoids action for alleged “intentional falsification” and limits the FAA’s inquiry to your eligibility to hold a medical certificate. Why involve a FAA attorney in your FAA medical application? Despite what you may hear from your AME, the medical certification process is more so a legal process than a medical process. Ensuring that your doctor is developing the proper documentation regarding your VA disability benefits, as needed, can be a difficult task. To that end, everything that is submitted to the FAA (i.e. records, statements, evaluations, etc.) goes into your airman medical file. This file is what the FAA then utilizes to evaluate whether you are eligible to hold a medical certificate. If you are later denied and wish to appeal that denial, your airman medical file becomes “Exhibit A” before the NTSB or upon reconsideration by the Federal Air Surgeon. So, a FAA attorney can evaluate your records, prepare a plan for best presentation of your case to the AME or FAA, and best argue your medical eligibility to the Federal Air Surgeon, with an eye for potential, future appeal. Furthermore, if your medical documentation is as strong as possible upon initial submission, in doing so, hopefully, you will avoid unnecessary delay. Also, if you have failed to report your VA disability benefits on your FAA medical application, a FAA attorney can give you counsel on how to rectify your omission. If you are concerned about your FAA medical and VA disability benefits, call the FAA attorneys at The Ison Law Firm. We are happy to evaluate your case and discuss with you a plan for presenting your case to your AME or the FAA. Aviation law is all we do. Nothing else. Can I Get a FAA Medical Certificate with a TBI? ON Mar 03, 2021 / BY Anthony Ison / IN Pilot Law Can I Get a FAA Medical Certificate with a TBI? This is a question that we are asked frequently by airmen who have had a head injury. This firm most frequently sees airmen attempting to achieve FAA medical certification despite a history of traumatic brain injury (“TBI”) resulting from an automobile or aircraft accident, a fall, injuries incurred in the military, or as the result of another traumatic injury. Of course, every case is different; however, it may be possible to achieve FAA medical certification following a TBI. There are very specific items that the FAA will evaluate in order to establish whether your history of TBI puts you at risk for developing aeromedically significant, side-effects, subsequent to the injury. In practice, the FAA stresses a concern for posttraumatic epilepsy or seizures, following a TBI. Specifically, the FAA has identified that excess risk of seizures remains elevated for 10 years after mild brain injury. For the most part, we commonly work with airmen who are several months, post-injury and experiencing no symptoms. In most cases, the airman’s treating neurologist has even cleared the airman back to work and has expressed no concern for the development of seizures. The FAA, however, in an abundance of caution, will typically be very cautious with how long the agency will require an airman to wait, prior to considering the airman for medical certification. If you’ve had a TBI, you can expect the FAA to want to review a number of items, to assess your neurological and neuropsychological status, as well as your risk for developing seizures. This may include review of all medical records, including pre-hospital, emergency department, specialty consultation, and operative reports. Typically, the FAA will also request a neuropsychological evaluation (to FAA standards), as well as a MRI with specific hemosiderin protocol. If the FAA is asking you for medical records and evaluation following a TBI, be careful how you respond and what information you provide. Keep in mind that you may be able to argue to the FAA that previously completed, diagnostic workup supports your eligibility for medical certification and that additional evaluation may be unnecessary. If there is an opportunity to avoid unnecessary, expensive, and potentially problematic evaluation and imaging, that opportunity should be considered with a FAA medical attorney who is familiar with the FAA’s TBI protocol. If you are asking “can I Get a FAA Medical Certificate with a History of TBI,” call to have a consultation with a FAA defense attorney at The Ison Law Firm. Our attorneys can evaluate your case and provide important counsel, as you develop an appropriate response to the FAA’s Office of Aerospace Medicine.

Gold passes $ 1,100/ounce:
Gold prices hit a record above 1,100 dollars on Monday with the dollar weakening after a pledge by G20 countries to keep economic recovery pumped up with easy money.
In morning trading here, gold struck an all-time peak of 1,109.50 dollars an ounce as the euro rose to 1.50 dollars for the first time in two weeks.
Gold “established itself above the psychological (1,100-dollar) level this morning as ministers at the weekend G20 meeting pledged to maintain their fiscal stimulus measures,” said James Moore, an analyst at TheBullionDesk.com.
(…)
Last week, the US Federal Reserve decided to hold rock-bottom US interest rates for “an extended period” and to keep trillion-dollar stimulus measures in place to support the United States’ fragile recovery from recession.
“Unless there’s a turn in US interest rates, gold will be well bid,” Ronald Leung, director at Lee Cheong Gold Dealers in Hong Kong, said on Monday.
The precious metal had on Friday reached above 1,100 dollars an ounce for the first time, following news that Sri Lanka had joined India in purchasing gold in favour of the US currency.
“We have been observing that prices of gold have been going up so we have been strategically buying gold over the past several months as part of a reserve management process of diversifying our portfolio,” Srik Lanka Central Bank assistant governor Nandalal Weerasinghe told AFP on Saturday. | positive |
Google appears to have made some changes to its account creation process. Whereas before, all it took was an email address of any kind and some basic demographic data, now you are required to create both a Gmail account and a presence on Google+. This doesn’t strike me as a user-friendly change.
On one hand, it’s harmless in a way: you create a throwaway email address and a dummy G+ account if you don’t want to use them. Problem solved. But is that really a step people should have to take if they just want to use Google Docs or YouTube? Certainly Google will say that this is all about the integration of services, but part of the attraction of Google services has always been how you can just use one or the other. This forced-signup device smells of an attempt to boost G+ numbers, and is reminiscent not of the Google of yore, but of the Apple and Facebook of today.
Some services haven’t yet updated their account creation pages, and at the moment you can use this URL to go straight to the old account creation screen. It seems doubtful that this loophole will remain open for long.
Not only will this lead to the creation of many derelict G+ and Gmail accounts, but people who are not interested in G+ and have not cared to educate themselves on it may be bothered by the notifications, circlings, and other features they didn’t ask for. I know that G+ is the new glue holding Google’s services together, but it’s a little early to be forcing it down people’s throats, don’t you think?
And note that in the G+ sign-up screen, it is not explicitly mentioned that you are “joining Google+,” though that is clearly what you are doing. Instead, you “create your Google profile. It’s how you represent yourself publicly on the web.” Then, seemingly apropos of nothing, it describes Google+, again without saying you’re joining it. Is this a mere technical bugaboo that most people will not care about? Maybe. But Google’s definition and application of G+ is already nebulous enough without this deliberately vague initiation.
Google can’t be afraid people aren’t engaging with its products, Gmail included. Google+ perhaps, though it’s still new and fairly unformed. But why this clumsy, user-unfriendly solution? Why not just ask if people want to create an account? Or if a Google+ account is just the sharing features of your Google account, why not be straightforward about it?

Although Evan Dietrich-Smith appears to be the starting center for the Green Bay Packers this season, he’s not taking his position for granted. Credit: Mike De Sisti
By of the
Green Bay — For the first time in a full year, Evan Dietrich-Smith is homeward bound. He'll see his family, see his friends. The Green Bay Packers center plans to head west to California when organized team activities wrap up.
But the trip won't be long. Two, maybe three days.
Then it's back to Green Bay.
Said Dietrich-Smith, "I'm not the biggest fan of taking too much time off."
That's a small peek inside the brain of the Packers' new starting center. Dietrich-Smith hasn't been rewarded with a long-term deal yet. He's in the same boat as Sam Shields, B.J. Raji and others. Green Bay will wait before investing. After starting the final four games at center in 2012, Dietrich-Smith signed his modest restricted free-agent tender of $1.323 million and returned.
Any job in the NFL is fleeting, a fact Dietrich-Smith knows more than anyone in the Packers locker room. He has been released by the team before. He's worked out of a YMCA.
So now that he is an unquestioned starter, Dietrich-Smith refuses to view himself as an unquestioned starter.
"It doesn't matter who you are," Dietrich-Smith said. "If you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing, you could be the next guy out the door. I don't take anything for granted. Every opportunity I get, I have to prove myself."
Looking back, it's surprising the Packers waited until Week 16 to bench veteran Jeff Saturday for Dietrich-Smith. Injuries along the line didn't help. Green Bay needed Dietrich-Smith at left guard for 4½ games before he spent the final four at center. But from September on, it was apparent Father Time had Saturday locked in a full nelson.
The 37-year-old often was overwhelmed by younger, fresher defensive tackles. In the run game, he was a day late. Finally, the 6-foot-2, 308-pound Dietrich-Smith was inserted as the starting center and — as quarterback Aaron Rodgers often hinted himself — he showed signs of being the center of the future.
Inside an ear-splitting Metrodome, Dietrich-Smith was the point man for a unit that generated 34 points and 405 total yards in the regular-season finale against the Minnesota Vikings. He was hardly the problem in the playoffs, teaming with Josh Sitton to spark a pair of DuJuan Harris touchdown runs. His presence also allowed Green Bay to rev up its hurry-up offense.
So now he enters camp as the starter. With several chances at handpicking a center in the draft the last two years — including two from Wisconsin — Green Bay passed. Fourth-rounder J.C. Tretter may have been a versatile backup, but he broke his ankle in practice.
This is Dietrich-Smith's job to lose. He just doesn't want to hear about it.
"I really don't think I'm the guy yet," Dietrich-Smith said. "That's what everyone keeps telling me, but I can't have that mentality. You have to make sure you're working and getting better every day. That's the mentality I've had my whole career. You have to make sure you're doing it right."
Take Tuesday's practice. On one play, Dietrich-Smith misidentified a block and pressure flooded the middle of the line.
"You can't brush that stuff off," he said. "You have to make sure you're right all the time."
Saturday couldn't handle the job physically into December, something the younger, barrel-chested Dietrich-Smith shouldn't have a problem with. Strength coaches are often forced to kick him out of the weight room. No, the No. 1 focus for Dietrich-Smith is the mental strain of the position in this offense.
About "90%" of the job is mental, "10%" physical, he said.
If the center botches a call, it affects everyone. One sinkhole and the richest player in football is at risk. Dietrich-Smith knows he must approach each snap with complete confidence. If Rodgers makes a last-second audible — common at the line — Dietrich-Smith must react. Now. And he must relay that information ASAP.
"It's not easy. You have to be on top of your game all the time," Dietrich-Smith said. "You have to be very vocal. Your communication has to be very deliberate. It has to be out there and everybody has to know what you're doing. If you don't have that confidence, it shows up on film.
"You have to be right or you're all going to be wrong together."
And the Packers are hoping their reshuffled offensive line reaches the point of fluid improvisation. The Vikings game, Dietrich-Smith's second start at center, was a perfect example. Peering back at Rodgers through his legs, it was difficult for Dietrich-Smith to hear anything. That's where continuity is key, he says. In critical moments, a message can be blurred in translation.
Dietrich-Smith is hardly the new kid on the block. He originally signed with Green Bay in 2009. The backup lineman was let go, picked up by Seattle, let go and then picked up again by the Packers. As he has spoken at length about before, Dietrich-Smith realized he needed to clean up his act off the field — quit partying, start working out more — to forge an NFL career.
Hence, the "hello, goodbye" trips west. Green Bay is his new home.
To make it his long-term home, to earn a contract extension, Dietrich-Smith can't warp this approach.
The contract isn't on his mind.
"I'll let the play talk for itself," Dietrich-Smith said. "I don't worry about that kind of stuff. That's the stuff that agents handle....For me, it's more about going out there and playing consistent. If you go out there and do that, you can't ask for too much more." | positive |

Deserialisation of data from malicious sources can lead to security exploits including remote code execution because by default Java does not validate deserialised data. In the absence of validation, a carefully crafted payload can trigger arbitrary functionality. The state-of-the-art general mitigation strategy for deserialisation exploits in Java is deserialisation filtering that validates the contents of an object input stream before the object is deserialised using user-provided filters. In this paper we describe a novel technique called ds-prefix for automatic synthesis of deserialisation filters (as regular expressions) from examples. We focus on synthesis of allowlists (permitted behaviours) as they provide a better level of security. Ds-prefix is based on deserialisation heuristics and specifically targets synthesis of deserialisation allowlists. We evaluate our approach by executing ds-prefix on popular open-source systems and show that ds-prefix can produce filters preventing real CVEs using a small number of training examples. We also compare our approach with other synthesis tools which demonstrates that ds-prefix outperforms existing tools and achieves better F1-score.

DOES THE MILITARY operation conducted by Indian para commandos across the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) in the wee hours of 29 September change the fundamentals of India’s strategic dynamic with Pakistan? The answer is ‘no’. A single military operation, however successful at the tactical level, cannot by itself impose sufficient deterrent costs on the enemy or demonstrate India’s strategic resolve, which has been found wanting for years. New Delhi has a long way to go before it can hope to reform the Pakistani military’s conduct or deter its rogue Inter- Services Intelligence (ISI) agency from staging more cross-border terrorist strikes, whether in India or on Indian targets in Afghanistan.
The Indian Army had conducted cross-LoC operations previously, often in reprisal to military provocations, such as when intruding Pakistani forces killed two Indian soldiers, taking away the severed head of one as a ‘trophy’. What broke new ground on 29 September was the scale of the cross-LoC military action (hitting multiple targets located several kilometres deep) and its public disclosure by the Indian Army and Government.
Yet, despite the frenzied hype, the set of surgical strikes on cross-LoC terrorist launchpads was a limited military operation, with limited military objectives, and yielding limited military benefits. The operation cannot by itself dissuade the Pakistani military from continuing to wage an undeclared war against India through terrorist proxies. Indeed, the Indian military must now exercise utmost vigilance to ward off likely Pakistani retaliation, including through terrorist surrogates.
To be sure, the political, psychological, diplomatic and strategic benefits from the Indian surgical strikes are greater than the tactical military gains. The strikes represented a break from India’s ‘do nothing’ approach, which came to define its policy for long. By symbolising an end to Indian indecision and inaction, the action has helped lift the sense of despair that had gripped the country over the lack of any tangible response to Pakistan-backed terrorist attacks. Politically, by signalling an end to the era of Indian inaction, the operation has put the Pakistani military on notice that India would henceforth respond in punitive, hard- to-anticipate ways.
Still, the benefits accruing from the action can easily be frittered away if India does not stay the course to squeeze Pakistan in a calibrated but ever-increasing manner to help bring it to heel. The risk of India squandering the gains is real. After all, the biggest shortcoming in India’s Pakistan policy has been the country’s inability to maintain a consistent Pakistan policy. India finds it very difficult to stay its course for more than a few months, before the itch to win a Nobel peace prize or political pressure from the United States prompts whoever is the Prime Minister to reverse course and resume ‘peace’ talks with Pakistan.
The focus of successive Indian governments on short-term considerations at the expense of India’s enduring interests has remained the country’s Achilles heel. This has exacerbated India’s Pakistan challenge, despite that country’s descent into a jihad-torn, dysfunctional state.
In fact, India’s own passivity and indecision played no small part in fuelling Pakistan’s proxy war by terror. There was little discussion in India as to why it should allow itself to be continually gored by a country that is much smaller than it economically, demographically and militarily. For long, India’s response to the Pakistani strategy to inflict death by a thousand cuts was survival by a thousand bandages.
With the Uri surgical strike, India has created a strategic space for staging repeated and more-intense military forays across the LoC to inflict pain and punishment on the terror masters and their surrogates
The illogic of India’s long-suffering, ‘do nothing’ approach to Pakistan’s unconventional war was exposed when it finally mustered the political courage and ordered a daring cross-LoC operation. The surprise action — staged at a time when the Pakistani military, after the Uri terrorist attack, was in a state of full combat readiness — demonstrated how military power can be smartly applied below the threshold of nuclear use and without creating an undue risk of conventional escalation. In doing so, India has created strategic space for staging repeated and more-intense military forays across the LoC to inflict pain and punishment on the terror masters and their surrogates.
The imperative for further cross-LoC punitive actions in a calibrated manner—not immediately but whenever tempting opportunities open up— has been underscored by the Pakistani military remaining in denial mode over India’s 29 September operation. With Pakistan’s military generals covering up the Indian strikes, Pakistanis seem sceptical of the Indian claims. Deterrence, to be effective, must be targeted not just at the military generals but also at the elected civilian leadership and the public. No military can sustainably operate without public support at home.
In this light, to deter Pakistan’s war by terror, India must carefully but convincingly re-demonstrate its punitive conventional capability in propitious settings. Deterrence, after all, is like beauty: It lies in the eyes of the beholder. It is not what India claims but what its adversary believes that constitutes deterrence (or the lack of it). A one-off cross-LoC operation, in any event, cannot keep the Pakistani military off balance and forestall further terrorist attacks.
For that reason, only time will tell whether the 29 September action constitutes a break with India’s passive, reactive and forbearing mindset or represents just a one-off operation to salvage the Indian leadership’s credibility, which had been dented by inaction on a series of Pakistan-backed terrorist strikes that have occurred over many years, fuelling public wrath. On Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s watch alone since his election in May 2014, Pakistan-scripted terrorist attacks have extended from Indian consulates at Herat, Mazar-i-Sharif and Jalalabad in Afghanistan to targets at Mohra, Gurdaspur, Udhampur, Pathankot, Pampore and Uri in India.
The attacks on Modi’s watch have suggested that the terror masters in Pakistan, learning from the international outrage over their November 2008 strikes on civilians in Mumbai, are concentrating their spectacular hits on symbols of the Indian state, including security forces.
For Modi, the pre-Uri inaction damaged his strongman image that helped bring him to power in the first place. Indeed, the apparent naiveté the Government displayed in responding to the Pathankot air-base attack early this year, which killed seven Indian military men, invited public ridicule: It shared intelligence with Pakistan about the Pakistani origins of the attackers while the four-day siege of the base was still on, and then invited a Pakistani team, including at least one ISI officer, to visit the base — all in the fond hope of winning Pakistan’s anti-terrorism cooperation, despite India’s bitter experience in the Mumbai case where it presented dossiers of evidence to Pakistan.
To organise sustained and mounting pressure on Pakistan, India will have to rely more on non-military tools of leverage than on cross-border operations by its special forces
Against this backdrop, the deadly Uri attack, by claiming the lives of 19 Indian soldiers, became Modi’s defining moment, putting his credibility at stake and eliminating inaction as a continuing option. The Government had to act to redeem its image. In keeping with Modi’s fondness for springing surprises, the cross-LoC operation caught everyone by surprise, including analysts in India who had been claiming that the country had no military option even against transboundary terrorist bases.
IF THE LATEST developments bring consistency to Modi’s often erratic and meandering Pakistan policy, they would represent a potential game changer. But if India some months down the road were to return to ‘peace’ talks with Pakistan, this would be clear proof not only that the Modi government largely designed the 29 September operation to politically save face, but also that the country is still unable to stay its course by kicking its principal weakness.
Let’s be clear: No short-term India strategy can help tame a scofflaw Pakistan. That country’s roguish actions spring from its foundational loathing of India. That loathing is rooted in its dual belief that it was created as an embodiment of the legacy of the medieval conquerors and plunderers who unfurled the standard of Islam over India, and that Pakistanis, as the progeny of the conquerors and plunderers, are innately braver than the Indian ‘infidels’. Barely 10 weeks after its birth as the world’s first Islamic republic of the post-colonial era, Pakistan launched its first war against India by sending raiders into J&K while denying any such action. Today, the Pakistani military, steeped in jihadism, controls the deep state, rearing terrorists for cross-border missions and turning the country into the Mecca of terrorism.
India’s fight to tame Pakistan thus will be long and hard. India’s Pakistan dilemma is compounded by the lack of credible military options to inflict unbearable costs on the adversary in peacetime or, in the event of a full-fledged war, to impose peace on India’s terms by decisively defeating the Pakistani military on the battlefield. India thus must exercise its conventional reprisal options in peacetime cautiously and close to the LoC or risk the outbreak of a full-blown war. This may explain why India called its 29 September action an anti-terrorist operation ‘not aimed at the Pakistani military’, although the military, as the sponsor and protector of terrorist groups, is the root of all terrorism emanating from Pakistan.
India’s objective should be to assist a quasi-failed Pakistan in becoming a failed state that no longer has the capacity to threaten regional and international security
Still, bearing in mind that Pakistan’s activities to undermine India are largely carried out across the LoC, a proactive India can make life difficult for the Pakistani military along the LoC, without its special forces having to penetrate too deeply. India, moreover, controls the escalation ladder. The burden is on Pakistan to take any step up on the escalation ladder, knowing that India will respond to such a move by inflicting severe pain and punishment on it.
More fundamentally, without imposing significant and direct costs on the Pakistani military and, by extension, on the Pakistani state, India cannot hope to deter Pakistan’s war by terror. This means India must initiate a comprehensive campaign that uses all employable instruments to squeeze Pakistan hard. Indeed, to organise sustained and mounting pressure on Pakistan, India will have to rely more on non-military tools of leverage than on cross-border operations by its special forces. And if India wants the rest of the world to act against Pakistan, it must first itself act against that country.
Thus far, India has taken no direct action to penalise the Pakistani state, other than informally suspend the Permanent Indus Commission and cause the collapse of the SAARC summit by withdrawing from it — an action that pre-empted Bangladeshi and Afghan moves to pull the plug on the summit. India’s diplomatic relations with Pakistan have not even been downgraded; the Most Favoured Nation status granted to Pakistan on a non-reciprocal basis for two decades has not been withdrawn; and New Delhi has made no move to designate Pakistan as a ‘state sponsor of terrorism’ or to declare bounties on the heads of terrorist leaders operating openly from Pakistan.
HOW CAN INDIA expect the rest of the world to isolate Pakistan while it maintains full diplomatic relations with that country and shies away from imposing sanctions on it? With Pakistan’s principal benefactors, China and America, continuing to prop it up, it will not be easy for India to internationally isolate Pakistan.
By repeatedly vetoing United Nations action against terrorist Masood Azhar since 2014, China is culpable in the killing of Indian soldiers at Uri and Pathankot. China has shown the extent to which it is willing to go to shield Pakistan’s patronage of terrorism in order to undermine Indian security. To make matters worse, Modi, by letting China double its trade surplus with India on his watch, has weakened his bargaining position with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The US, for its part, enforces sanctions against a host of countries, from Russia and North Korea to Sudan and Syria, yet shields from sanctions the world’s top state sponsors of terrorism— Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. The White House recently went to the extent of shutting down an online petition calling for designating Pakistan as a state sponsor of terrorism, after the petition had garnered 625,723 signatures. America is indirectly subsidising a renegade Pakistan with soaring profits from its booming arms sales to India.
Leverage holds the key to effective diplomacy. Yet India has shied away from leveraging its weapon purchases or its recent early ratification of the Paris climate change agreement (weighted in favour of the world’s top two polluters, the US and China) to bring about change in the American stance of opposing any sanctions on Pakistan. If Hillary Clinton is elected president in November, India can be sure that the US will continue to shield its terrorist protégé, Pakistan.
In these circumstances, the onus is on the victim, India, to act against and discipline terror-exporting Pakistan on its own. This means India must stay its course, rebuffing US pressure. As the American academic C Christine Fair has said in a recent essay in the journal National Interest, the US, by exerting diplomatic pressure on India after each terrorist carnage to exercise restraint, ‘rewards Pakistan in numerous ways’, including ‘from the consequences of its illegal behaviour’ and by implying that ‘there is a legitimate dispute and that both sides are equally culpable for the enduring nature of this dispute’.
India needs to pursue a doctrine of graduated escalation, applying multipronged pressure on the adversary’s vulnerable points to inflict pain and punishment through economic, diplomatic, riparian and political instruments and its special forces. Consistent with this doctrine, India should start imposing costs on Pakistan in a calibrated and gradually escalating manner.
If Pakistan can wage an undeclared war by terror for over three decades, India, with its greater economic, military and diplomatic resources, is better positioned to spearhead a more- potent undeclared war by other means. India’s objective should be to assist a quasi-failed Pakistan in becoming a failed state that no longer has the capacity to threaten regional and international security. Realizing this objective calls for an unrelenting silent war, employing multiple tools of leverage and coercion to squeeze Pakistan on all fronts, even if it takes years to defang it.
However, if, in a year’s time or so, New Delhi returns to ‘peace’ talks with Pakistan, it will be crystal clear that India’s biggest enemy is India. | positive |
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court said Monday it will use a dispute between Nigerian villagers and oil giant Royal Dutch Shell to decide whether corporations may be held liable in U.S. courts for alleged human rights abuses overseas.
In a second case it agreed to hear, the court will decide if telling a lie about yourself is a crime if the lie claims military medals you didn't earn.
The justices said they will review a federal appeals court ruling in favor of Shell. The case centers on the 222-year-old Alien Tort Statute that has been increasingly used in recent years to sue corporations for alleged abuses abroad.

Supreme Court considers strip searches in jails
Other cases pending in U.S. courts seek to hold accountable Chiquita Brands International for its relationship with paramilitary groups in Colombia; Exxon and Chevron for abuses in Indonesia and Nigeria, respectively, and several companies for their role in apartheid in South Africa.
The Nigerians argue Shell was complicit in torture and other crimes against humanity in the country's oil-rich Ogoni region in the Niger Delta.
WikiLeaks: Shell oil infiltrated Nigerian gov't
A divided panel of federal appeals court judges in New York said the 18th century law may not be used against corporations. More recently, appellate judges in Washington said it could.
In another case the court agreed to hear, the justices will weigh whether the Torture Victims Protection Act of 1992 can be invoked against organizations, or only individuals.
The sons and widow of Azzam Rahim have filed a civil lawsuit against the Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization. The Palestinian-born Rahim was a naturalized U.S. citizen who was beaten and died in the custody of Palestinian intelligence officers in Jericho in 1995. Three officers were jailed for their role in the case, according to a State Department report.
But when Rahim's relatives sought money damages for his death, the federal appeals court in Washington said they could not use the 1992 law to go after the Palestinian organizations. The law may be applied only to "natural persons," the appeals court said.
The Nigerians' lawsuit stems from alleged human rights violations between 1992 and 1995. The suit claims that Shell was eager to stop protests about continuing oil exploration in the area and was complicit in Nigerian government actions that included fatal shootings, rapes, beatings, arrests and property destruction.
Specifically, the villagers claim Shell gave soldiers money, food and transportation, and allowed its facilities to be used as staging grounds.
A divided panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York voted 2-1 to throw out the suit, saying corporations cannot be held liable under the Alien Tort Statute. The full appeals court split 5-5 on whether to rehear the case. The tie vote left the panel ruling in place.
The cases will be argued early next year.
The cases are Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum, 10-1491, and Mohamad v. Rajoub, 11-88.
Arguments will also take place early next year for the case centering on the constitutionality of a law that makes it a federal crime for people to claim falsely, either in writing or aloud, that they have been awarded the Medal of Honor, a Silver Star, Purple Heart or any other military medal.
Court: It's not a crime to lie about war medals
Phony war hero faces court-martial
The Stolen Valor Act, which passed Congress with overwhelming support in 2006, apparently has been used only a few dozen times, but the underlying issue of false claims of military heroism has struck a chord in an era in which American soldiers are fighting two wars.
At the same time, the justices have issued a series of rulings in recent terms in favor of free expression, striking down California's violent video restrictions and a federal law involving cruelty to animals. It also upheld the right of protesters to picket military funerals with provocative, even offensive, messages.
The federal appeals court in California struck down the military medals law on free speech grounds, and appeals courts in Colorado, Georgia and Missouri are considering similar cases.
The Obama administration is arguing that the law "serves a crucial purpose in safeguarding the military honors system." The administration also says the law is reasonable because it only applies to instances in which the speaker intends to portray himself as a medal recipient. Previous high court rulings also have limited First Amendment protection for false statements, the government said.
The court almost always reviews lower court rulings that hold federal laws unconstitutional.
The case concerns the government's prosecution of Xavier Alvarez of Pomona, Calif. A member of the local water district board, Alvarez said at a public meeting in 2007 that he was a retired Marine who received the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military decoration. In fact, he had never served in the military.
He was indicted and pleaded guilty with the understanding that he would challenge the law's constitutionality in his appeal. He was sentenced under the Stolen Valor Act to more than 400 hours of community service at a veterans' hospital and fined $5,000. | positive |
It happened in 2009 but I haven't seen it really being discussed on /r/hapas before. This is a long, convoluted story so I will attempt to give a concise rundown of events:
A US naval officer by the name of John Bench is stationed in a naval base in Japan. He meets a Filipino woman living in the Philippines, Lilibeth E., online. They quickly develop something of a relationship, and he promises to give her money and even move to the Philippines to live with her. She is a single mother who already has five children (one of them a hapa with another US serviceman father), so she finds herself unable to resist this offer.
Several months into the affair with Lilibeth, he mentions to her that he has an ex-wife, Agnes B. He weaves a fabricated story about her divorce-raping him out of alimony payments when he retires. He says that Agnes will need to be killed in order for him to truly get together with her. Lilibeth agrees to helping him.
The truth however is that John is still married to Agnes, and that he is living together with her and their two children (17yr old daughter and a 12yr old son) in Japan near the naval base. She is another Filipino woman (surprise, surprise!). Lilibeth doesn't know he is still married to her. He spins it so that it sounds like Agnes is driving him to suicide, but it's more likely their marriage has just turned sour.
John and his mistress Lilibeth devise a plot to have her murdered. He sends Lilibeth money to hire a hitman in the Philippines to carry out the job. He will organise for the family to visit the Philippines in February 2009 and this is when the hitman will kill her.
But for whatever reason, the hit fails to happen and no one is killed. I originally found out about this story from a crime show, and they stated it was because Lilibeth was to give the order to the hitman to shoot over 2-way radio, but she faltered and chickened out at the last minute.
Despite this setback, John and Lilibeth organise a second plan to have his wife murdered. He arranges another family visit to the Philippines for the same purpose.
John and his family are being driven around in a taxi they hired. The plan is for the hitman to hijack the taxi and order the driver to a remote location, where he will then kill them (except for John of course). This is to make it look like a robbery which went horribly wrong and ended in murder.
The plan proceeds as stated as above. When the gunman is satisfied with the location, he orders the taxi driver to get out and lay down in a ditch. He then shoots and kills him.
However, this is where the plan is derailed: Agnes takes the hitman by surprise and manages to wrestle the gun from him. She calls to John for help but he doesn't do anything. Terrified, the hitman flees the scene on a motorcycle. No one else apart from the taxi driver is harmed.
When they return to their home in Japan, John is extremely frustrated that both attempts have failed, and decides he is going to take matters into his own hands. In a last ditch effort to get rid of them once and for all, he takes a baseball bat and while they are at home savagely beats his family members with it, starting with his wife Agnes, and then his daughter. Amazingly, both of them survive and eventually recover. It turns out however that his son had already been murdered, and as police would later discover his body was stashed away inside a closet at the house, wrapped in plastic. | positive |
The left-wing Guardian reporter who was allegedly body-slammed by a congressional candidate on the eve of his election harbored a burning desire three years ago… He wanted to punch the lights out of a 19-year-old kid.
While covering CPAC-2014, journalist Ben Jacobs indicated that he and other journalists in attendance had “the overwhelming urge to punch Benji Backer,” a young, Wisconsin-based conservative blogger who spoke at the event that year.
He reported from CPAC:
Left, right and center, straight news and opinion, journalists at CPAC have one thing in common, the overwhelming urge to punch Benji Backer — Ben Jacobs (@Bencjacobs) March 8, 2014
Although it received little notice at the time, his desire acquired added significance after the Wednesday night “body-slamming” he received from then-candidate, now Congressman-elect Greg Gianforte, a Montana Republican.

It turned out that Montanans didn’t much give a whit about the altercation, and voted to send Gianforte to Washington. He apologized anyway.
Becker’s still waiting for his from Jacobs. But apart from that, there’s that old “stones” and “glass houses” thing Jacobs should be aware of.
So who is this Becker character who aroused so much “fear and loathing” within Jacobs? Here’s a clip of his CPAC speech as a reminder.

The photocopier was authorised to do so by the Delhi University.
But earlier this month, in a landmark judgement, the Court pronounced that reproducing and distributing copies of books for educational purposes is not a copyright infringement.
The court said photocopy of course books is not copyright infringement
The publishers were not against course packs per se. They were willing to issue ‘bouquet licenses’; the university or the photocopier would purchase a license whereby the publisher would be paid each time a course pack was sold.
The price proposed by the publishers was 50 paise per page, which is what the photocopier was charging for a page.
The publishers’ proposal wasn’t all that outrageous. But even if the court had ruled in their favour, I wonder how it would have worked out in practice.
Students can forgo course packs and photocopy material independently. No one can stop that.
One could get high quality photocopies bound to one’s preference (Picture for representation)
The case reminded me of my own days at D-School, and the place the photocopier occupied in our lives.
It reminded me of the hunger for knowledge one had as a student and how we went about satiating it.
In Delhi University, Patel Chest was, and probably still is, the Times Square of photocopying.
One could get high quality photocopies bound to one’s preference. I always chose a dark grey cover sheet with simple red cloth binding.
No matter how nice the bound photocopy looked, it was nothing like the real book in one’s hands.
But in those pre-internet days, where could one find these books? Often, there was no option but to photocopy.
The greatest impediment in one’s quest for knowledge was the librarian. He took it as his job to make it as difficult for you to access a book.
Impediments
At D-School, we had a system where certain books could only be borrowed for a day. So it happened that I’d been looking for Louis Dumont’s Homo Hierarchichus for three days, and each time the librarian said it wasn’t available.
I had to drag the renowned sociologist Andre Beteille from his office, where he was happily typing away, to the library.
Seeing him the librarian immediately produced a copy. Pressure from the top worked, but it shouldn’t have been necessary in the first place.
It confirms an Indian trait: you give a man some responsibility; he will invariably use it to block rather than enable.
We need cheap student editions so that we don't need to get books photocopied
My hunger for knowledge also led to youthful indiscretions. Emile Durheim’s The Division of Labour of Society was a prescribed text.
I saw it in the CUP stall at a book fair. It had a beautiful blue cover and was expensive like all academic books are.
I nicked it. A friend of mine, who now teaches philosophy in an American university, was just getting interested in Nietzsche. I stole a Nietzsche Companion for him.
In 1995, it cost more than a thousand rupees. I felt happy I’d helped him broaden his horizons and enrich his reading of Continental philosophy.
I owe CUP some money. This I don’t deny.
Access
The joy of holding an actual book cannot be compared to a photocopy. What we lacked were cheap student editions.
If we had access there would have been no need to photocopy. This is what I discovered when I went up to Oxford to read philosophy and politics.
Blackwell’s put out affordable editions and they were easily available.
Blackwell’s also had a dedicated store selling second-hand books. Why photocopy when you can read the actual thing?
I don’t particularly like the idea of course packs. There is nothing like going to the library and taking notes.
When you do that you summarise, and summarising is a very useful skill to have in the social sciences.
Course packs reflect the Indian attitude to knowledge. Knowledge is information, a means to an end.
Cracking the exam is the end here. So you photocopy pages that are most likely to turn up as exam questions, underline important passages and mug them up.
If you are genuinely interested in a subject, you start building a library. I too saved and bought books (for the record, I only stole twice) because these are classics that you can keep on your shelf for years, even if you’ve stopped pursuing the discipline.
I still dip into my copy of the Chandogya Upanishad or the Brahmasutras (bought when I was doing my BA in philosophy).
I bought them because I had enormous respect for the wisdom contained in the pages, not because it was some stuff to photocopy, mug, regurgitate in a silly exam and throw away afterwards. | positive |
Supreme Court: No retroactive sentence change for small crack amounts News Sports Orange and White Life Opinion Best of the Best Obituaries eNewspaper Legals POLITICS Supreme Court rejects retroactive sentence reductions for small amounts of crack cocaine John Fritze USA TODAY View Comments View Comments WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court ruled against a Florida man who sought to have his sentence for a low-level drug crime reduced, holding that a bipartisan push in Congress in 2018 to ease such punishments didn't address his circumstances. Though the question in the case was narrow, it arrived as bipartisan majorities in Congress have sought to rethink long sentences for relatively small amounts of drugs. And it sparked a heated debate between one of the high court's leading conservative voices and one of its leading liberals over the history of drug sentencing and whether Congress should "right this injustice" – despite the fact that all nine justices agreed on the outcome in the case. Associate Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the opinion for the court. Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote a concurring opinion in which she agreed with most of the court's reasoning but described the outcome as "no small injustice" and encouraged Congress to change the law to address similar situations. The First Step Act eased tough-on-crime policies that swelled prison populations and had a disproportionate impact on African American communities. But its language was unclear on whether certain low-level offenders could seek retroactive sentence reductions, two lower courts held, setting up a situation where those convicted of more serious crimes may wind up with a more lenient punishment. More:Supreme Court skeptical of applying Trump-era criminal justice law retroactively More:Senate passes First Step Act with push from criminal justice groups Tarahrick Terry pleaded guilty to possessing a small amount of crack cocaine in 2008 – about 3.9 grams – and was sentenced to more than 15 years in prison. He filed suit after the 2018 law passed seeking to reduce his sentence. The case involved the interplay of three laws passed by Congress: Reagan-era drug statutes, which created three tiers of sentencing based on the amount of drugs involved, a 2010 law intended to reduce penalties for crack cocaine and the 2018 First Step Act. In 2010, lawmakers increased the amount of crack cocaine needed to trigger a 10-year mandatory minimum sentence from 50 grams to 280 grams. In a second tier, carrying a five-year mandatory minimum sentence, Congress increased the amount of drugs necessary from five grams to 28 grams. By raising the threshold for the amounts of drugs required, lawmakers lowered the sentences for many people convicted of carrying a small amount of crack. The 2018 First Step Act made those sentence reductions retroactive. But the complication, and the heart of Terry's case, involves a third tier – a catchall that sets a sentence of up to 20 years for any amount of drugs not covered by the others. When Terry was sentenced in 2008, the third tier went up to 5 grams, so he was on the upper end of that range. Now, it tops out at 28 grams and he's on the lower end. Lawmakers in 2010 changed that third tier by default, since the law passed that year amended the other two tiers, but they didn't explicitly change the text of the statute as to the third tier. The grant of retroactivity in 2018 applied only to the tiers that were directly amended by the 2010 law. Terry's lawyer said Congress must have intended the benefit of retroactivity for low-level offenders if it offered it to those with larger amounts of drugs, but the provision didn't specifically say that. The Justice Department under the Trump administration noted that Terry faced the same sentence under the old law as he did under the modified one: Up to 20 years. The Biden administration took the opposite view, agreeing with Terry. Given this change in the government's position, the Supreme Court found an outside lawyer to argue in defense of the law in May, the final oral arguments of the 2020-21 term Describing Terry’s argument as a textual "sleight of hand," Thomas wrote that the 2018 law did not modify the 2010 law – and so the lower sentences could not be applied retroactively. "We will not convert nouns to adjectives and vice versa," Thomas wrote for the court. "It also defies common parlance to say that altering a different provision modified" the last tier at issue in the case. In her concurring opinion, Sotomayor said she could not agree with Thomas' summary of how the nation wound up with far higher sentences for crack than for powdered cocaine. In a footnote, Sotomayor described Thomas' retelling as "unnecessary, incomplete, and sanitized." That criticism is a response to one of Thomas' own footnotes, in which he writes that a majority of the Congressional Black Caucus either cosponsored or voted for the tougher sentences at the time. "While the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 and First Step Act of 2018 brought us a long way toward eradicating the vestiges of the 100-to-1 crack-to-powder disparity, some people have been left behind," Sotomayor wrote. "Among them are people like petitioner Tarahrick Terry." Several of the First Step Act's authors, including Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, told the court it was their intent to cover low-level offenders in Terry's situation. But at a time when the court puts heavy emphasis on the text of a statute, both conservative and liberal justices wrestled to square that goal with the specific language. "I'm looking at what Congress did, not what maybe they should have done," Associate Justice Stephen Breyer said during arguments. Sotomayor returned to that point in her separate opinion. "Fortunately, Congress has numerous tools to right this injustice," she wrote. A federal district court and an Atlanta appeals court both ruled that Terry's circumstances weren't covered by the retroactivity provision.

Animation Resources supporter, Rich Borowy stopped by to digitize some classic Stan Freberg radio shows for the archive database yesterday. Under his arm was a box of old Coronet and Omnibook magazines. Rich said that he was given the box at a garage sale that was closing down. I’ve never looked at these particular magazines, but they have wonderful illustrations and features. Here are highlights from the December, 1945 issue. Check it out. There’s a big surprise at the end. Thanks for bringing these in, Rich!
Each issue opens with an inspirational message and illustration. This one is by illustrator, Vera Bock. Many issues contain the work of Arthur Szyk, whose book “The New Order” we featured last year. I’ll be doing a whole post of Szyk illustrations from Coronet soon.
Next up is a retelling of "The Night Before Christmas" by Golden Book illustrator, Sheilah Beckett. Will Finn recently posted about her book on Gilbert & Sullivan Operettas. These pages strongly resemble the back of Little Golden Books. Do you think Sheilah Beckett designed that?
Here’s a feature on the artists who created the Famous Artists Course… Stevan Dohanos, along with his illustrator friends Albert Dorne, Ben Stahl, Hardie Gramatky, Fred Ludekens and Dean Cornwall donated their services to decorate casts in the Halloran Army Hospital in New York.
And here’s a feature on exotic superstitions and religious beliefs by Stevan Dohanos…
Here’s a real surprise- The autobiography of Bugs Bunny! "A Hare Grows In Manhattan"…

Industry News & Alerts Fiber5 Video Series KEE Roof Membrane Very Severe Hail Architect Resources FiberTite Blog 3 Biggest Roofing Concerns For Food Processing Facilities Dalton Ulm on Jan 18, 2017 8:00:00 AM Tweet Food processing and data center industries provide a huge demand for durable and reliable roofing systems.These industries face extensive threats when it comes to building maintenance, sanitation and safety—many of which can be prevented with the right roofing system and installment. In part one of this blog series, we discussed the 3 Reasons Why It’s Crucial to Have a Robust Roof on Data Centers.Today, we’re talking about food processing facilities and the importance of the right roof structure. With more than 35+ years of experience, FiberTite has proven that performance speaks for itself and has a reputation to back it up. 1. Grease and Oil Buildup Roofing systems on food processing facilities must be able to withstand exposure to grease, oils and other toxic chemicals. As buildup of grease and oil increases, it poses a risk to contamination and sanitation within the facility. Not only can grease and oil be difficult to clean, but it can invite unwanted guests like bacteria and animals into the facility. From the food processor’s standpoint, it is important to invest in a roof that is easy to maintain, durable and provides worry-free protection year after year. FiberTite roofing membranes’ chemically-resistant formula prevents penetration from fats, oils and contamination. Using a combination of high-fiber content and Elvaloy KEE, FiberTite roofing membranes are able to withstand the harshest environments. 2. Extreme/Fluctuating Temperatures Cold storage facilities require roofing systems that maintain their internal temperature and resist penetration from outside elements and climate. Maintaining these temperatures is crucial to the quality and longevity of the food products manufactured in the facility. FiberTite’s light-colored roofs reflect UV rays, which helps maintain more consistent temperature on the roof and in the facility. Refrigeration units are more efficient and there is less of a differential between the outside roof surface temperature and the underside of the deck level or refrigeration area. A recent study compared the surface temperature of black and white roofs and found that black roofs can be up to 30°C (54°F) hotter than white roofs. 3.) Leakage Roof leaks are most often the result of a drainage problem that can lead to bigger issues if not addressed and promptly fixed. The potential for a roof leak to threaten sanitation standards within the facility due to the buildup of bacteria in stagnant pooling areas is unacceptable. Food processing facilities must adhere to the regulations under the USDA and FDA, which have a strict, zero tolerance for leakage. FiberTite’s historical performance in food processing facilities has proven to protect throughout years of wear and tear. In food processing facilities, high foot traffic and maintenance on the roof is common. FiberTite’s roofing membrane is built for puncture and high surface abrasion resistance to withstand the abuse and to continue to perform and protect the facility. Do you have experience with industries that require quality roofing to ensure proper building maintenance, sanitation and safety? Tell us about it in the comments!
