Speaking from within the headquarters of oil major Shell on Friday, the words of Greenpeace Netherlands executive director Sylvia Borren were clear: "My first move as the new CEO of Shell is simple and effective: no drilling for oil in the pristine Arctic."
With that, Borren had announced a new corporate strategy for Shell.
Borren, symbolically 'replacing' Shell chief executive Peter Voser at the helm of the company, said Shell would end its destructive oil drilling and instead invest its billions of dollars in profits into renewable energy.
It requires Shell, which plans to start drilling for oil in the Alaskan Arctic this summer, to realise that climate change and the melting of the Arctic sea ice is not a business opportunity, but rather, a stark warning of a possible future.
The unfortunate reality at the moment is that Shell is desperate to hold on to its old business model and is putting profits above science at all costs. More than that, it is risking our future.
This is why 70 Greenpeace Netherlands activists barricaded the entrances to Shell's headquarters today, as Borren mapped out a new, sustainable path for Shell, the world's largest company.
Some 45 minutes later, the blockade was broken, but nine activists remained on top of Shell's headquarters as they unfurled a banner saying: "Stop Shell, Save the Arctic." A clear and urgent message.
Some hours later, however, police arrested the nine activists. They also detained Borren and three other activists, removing her from Voser's office after forcing their way in with a chainsaw!
So today's action might have ended in multiple arrests, but Greenpeace will not halt its campaign to Save the Arctic. This is a growing global movement that will only build in support. Already, more than 800,000 have pledged their support.
And by using digital media and creative direct action, Greenpeace and the wider public will continue to demonstrate how Shell, a 'dinosaur' oil company, is out of touch with the modern world.
Greenpeace is launching a new form of 'open source activism', which shares the tactics we have learned over the past 40 years with people who wish to take peaceful, direct action and produce creative content to force Shell onto the defensive both on and offline.
Toolkits containing tips on how to protest peacefully at Shell petrol stations, for example, have been sent to supporters across the world.
And together, we will Save the Arctic.

With Shell acting like a totally irresponsible entity lacking the morality to even think what are the implications of their actions that would be handed out to the citizens of this world!!
They need to think about the viability of their project when things dont go according to plan while drilling the mess they would dish out cannot be fathomed in terms of the negative impact to the ecology and the definite degradation of life in arctic......
Yes you could argue arctic is of no concern to me when i sit , sleep and live my life in the Indian sub continent... But I would want to raise my claim for the arctic today..
So SHELL PLEASE look at sustainable / renewable energy sources

When is mevrouw Borren is going to climb the Gazprom towers then? What do you mean why? Gazprom is actively drilling in Arctic already, and if you worry about blowouts and spills you should see how they operate. You'll be having green nightmares. So, when are you off to Moscow? Oh, you are not? You are too busy stopping evil Shell? Thought so. On the second thought, you better stay away from real polluters, cause if you try something like this in China or Russia, you will find your ass in jail or even quietly run over in a side street. So, brave mevrouw Barren, carry on with your crusade, and maybe one day you will get an Oscar for your impersonations of Evil Vosser.

My close childhood friends will tell you I was very attached to wearing leggings when I was growing up. They were so comfortable it took several years before I could even understand why someone would choose to wear jeans. I was definitely not trying to make a statement or attract any sort of attention by wearing them, so it was particularly surprising to me that one school in Halifax, Eastern Passage Education Centre, considers leggings "distracting" and has moved to enforce a dress code banning girls from wearing them as pants. The school sent CTV the following statement:
Tights which are being worn in an inappropriate manner are not acceptable for school. If students choose to wear tights, they should have a long shirt or sweater to cover the front and backside. Yoga pants can fall into a grey area, depending on the style and manner in which they are worn. The administration will use their discretion with these cases and have the conversation with the student."
Yoga pants a grey area, people?! Yoga pants?!
I'll note Eastern Passage isn't the first school to go this route. A few schools in the U.S. have singled out leggings and yoga pants for being "immodest" or too "form-fitting" and they were also banned by an Ottawa-region Catholic school last year.
I'm generally opposed to school dress codes anyway, but two things about this really irk me.
First, it seems to be about reading adult sexuality onto girls' clothing choices. Leggings have been around since at least the 13th century and have been worn around the world by both men and women. There is nothing inherently sexual about them. If there were, they would hardly have been suitable as a piece of military clothing, which they were throughout the First and Second World Wars.
Just because when you look up "yoga pants" on YouTube you get a bunch of videos of "hot girls" in yoga pants (as I found out) doesn't mean that's why everyone chooses to wear them. Same with leggings.
And we're talking about kids who are tweens and in their early teens. I'm not naive -- I wouldn't be surprised if some girls are getting dressed up in leggings or yoga pants partly to be attractive, but to read that intent onto every girl in the school is logically questionable and kinda creepy.
And where do you draw the line? Girls are exposed to all kinds of media messages telling them their self-worth is defined by appearance. You can't possibly ban all the things a girl could possibly do in an effort to make herself more sexually attractive. If you're concerned about the pressure on girls to be sexy, you need to deal with that culture and its ideas through media literacy, not banning individual items of clothing that may or may not be manifestations.
My second big problem with the leggings ban is it places the blame onto girls for being "distracting" instead of onto those who might be getting "distracted" spending all their time ogling the girls. The school danced around the issue, saying only it was distracting "to the learning process." Karen Green at Canadian Family writes she thinks there's a subtext to what Eastern Passage is arguing: "The real answer, I think, is distracting to the boys. Possibly even the male teachers. That seems a more likely answer to me. And a much more disturbing one."
I'm inclined to agree. The fact that no comparable rules were set out for boys shows the hallmarks of that same old attitude that "boys will be boys," that they will see girls as sex objects while it's up to girls to uphold their own honour and fend off advances.
I would love to be wrong. I would love Eastern Passage to whip out some peer-reviewed study showing that leggings and yoga pants adversely affect educational outcomes. Because if that's not the case, I think it's only a small step from "if you wear yoga pants you'll distract the boys" to "if you wear a skirt you're asking to get raped."
Now the school isn't quite there yet and it has a chance to back off. They need to think about those 30 or so girls who defied the ban and ask themselves whether it's really worth pushing them even further into a culture that tells them what they wear determines how they deserve to be treated.

Lessons from Canadian tar sands
Re: "Ritter scopes out Canada's oil sands, energy strategies," Nov. 16 business news story.
Gov. Bill Ritter took away some important lessons from his visit to the Alberta tar sands nightmare. His remark that adverse impacts from oil shale to Colorado's water, land, wildlife, air quality, and communities must be thoroughly investigated before commercial development begins is the only responsible position for a politician to take.
What Ritter observed was one of the worst examples of irresponsible energy development in the hemisphere. Canadians are tearing out the heart of the wild boreal forest, the planet's largest storehouse of climate-regulating carbon, to strip mine deposits of gooey tar sands to meet America's relentless thirst for fuels. After the Illinois region, Colorado is the largest recipient of oil derived from Canadian tar sands.
And the impacts go well beyond Canada. It takes a huge amount of energy to turn tar sands and oil shale into fuel, making them a far worse source of greenhouse gases than conventional crude.
Colorado can become a leader in creating a cleaner and greener energy future. To do that, we have to prevent industry from filling our fuel needs with the dregs of the fossil-fuel barrel — oil shale, tar sands and coal.

Year 12 | 20 January 2020 | email@example.com
FAO marks World Day to Combat Desertification today with the publication of a manual that shows how a project in Mauritania successfully fixed dunes and stopped sand encroachment.
It will serve as a useful blueprint for similar projects in Africa. Sand encroachment is what happens when grains of sand are carried by winds and collect in dunes on the coast, along watercourses and on cultivated or uncultivated land.
As the dunes move, they bury villages, roads, oases, crops and irrigation channels and dams, causing major economic damage and increasing poverty and food insecurity.
The right plants
The new FAO publication, Fighting sand encroachment – lessons from Mauritania, compiled with the support of the Walloon region of Belgium and Mauritania's Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development, explains sand encroachment processes and control techniques, with an emphasis on involving local people in sand control activities.
By choosing the right local plant and tree species and involving the local community and national authorities, the FAO Mauritania project fixed 857 hectares of threatened land on the outskirts of the capital city Nouakchott and in southern coastal areas with 400 000 plants grown for the purpose in nurseries.
Two way battle
"The fight against desertification is a fight on two fronts," said Nora Berrahmouni, FAO Forestry Officer for Arid Zones.
"The first is preventing the process happening in the first place through sustainable management of existing forests, range lands and natural resources.
"The second is repairing the damage done to forests and oases, by first stopping the sand blowing on the degraded soil and then replanting."
The Support for Rehabilitation and Extension of the Nouakchott Green Belt Project was initiated by His Royal Highness, Prince Laurent of Belgium, financed by a $1.6 million grant from the Walloon Region of Belgium.
It ran for nine years and finished in 2009. It was implemented by FAO in close collaboration with the Government of Mauritania. The project has worked so well that it is now being replicated in other parts of Mauritania.
Brick in a green wall
Lessons will be also drawn up for the Great Green Wall for the Sahara and the Sahel, an initiative being carried out under the auspices of the African Union Commission and the Community of Sahel-Saharan States (CEN-SAD).
The Great Green Wall initiative aims to address the impacts of aridity, low land productivity, desertification and climate change as well as to secure sustainable livelihoods in the Sahara and Sahel drylands.
It will include sustainable management and restoration of degraded forest lands, dune fixation, and management of oases and grazing land across several countries of the Sahara and Sahel, from the Atlantic coast to the Indian Ocean.
FAO, in collaboration with the African Union Commission, has just launched a $460 000 project to kick-start the Great Green Wall project in five selected countries – Chad, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Mali and the Niger. The European Union is also providing 1.4 million euros to implement the initiative in eight other countries.
Lessons learned from this project will also serve the new "inter-regional program for poverty alleviation and combating desertification through collaborative watershed management" launched by FAO in June 2010 in Mauritania, Morocco and Ecuador and funded by Spain.

Disgraced Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has refused the sanctions ordered by the National Basketball Association and has threatened litigation, reports Sports Illustrated legal analyst Michael McCann. The NBA slapped Sterling with a lifetime ban from the game, ordered a $2.5 million fine and the sale of the team in response to a series of racist and inflammatory remarks that were recorded.
Sterling has hired prominent antitrust litigator Maxwell Blecher, who has written a letter to NBA executive vice president and general counsel Rick Buchanan threatening to sue the NBA. The letter, sources tell SI.com, claims that Sterling has done nothing wrong and that "no punishment is warranted" for Sterling. Blecher also tells Buchanan that Sterling will not pay the $2.5 million fine, which is already past due. Blecher ends the letter by saying this controversy "will be adjudicated." ...
Any lawsuit by Sterling against the NBA would face a daunting task, as Sterling contractually agreed to follow the NBA's system of justice. Sterling's failure to pay the fine is additional evidence of his insubordination of league policies. His failure triggers other contractual provisions that can be used by the NBA under Article 13(d) to justify his ouster. It is also possible the NBA could deduct $2.5 million, plus interest, from proceeds the NBA would share with the Sterlings after the league sells the Clippers.
The NBA is well-poised to argue that Sterling's pending ouster is mainly due to the impact of his conduct -- which nearly triggered a player boycott, caused sponsors to drop the Clippers and led to critical words from President Obama -- rather than the conduct itself.
TMZ released audio recording last month of a conversation between Sterling and former girlfriend V. Stiviano. Sterling can be heard criticizing Stiviano for bringing Black people to Clippers games and for uploading photos to Instagram and herself and African-Americans—including Los Angeles Lakers legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson. In an interview earlier this week with CNN's Anderson Cooper, Sterling harshly criticized Johnson for HIV positive serostatus. "He's not a role model," said Sterling. "He should be ashamed of himself."
Meanwhile: Sterling's estranged wife Rochelle Sterling has also indicated that she will sue to retain her 50 percent share in the team. She has also distanced herself from her husband's remarks and claimed that she "is not a racist." Court documents say otherwise. The Los Angeles Times has reported that Shelly Sterling "was accused of using racist language by multiple people during depositions conducted in 2009 as part of a housing discrimination lawsuit."
The apple doesn't fall from the tree, right?
In other news: Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder ended the Clippers' playoff run this week. The Thunder advanced to the Western Conference finals with its 104-98 victory over the Clippers in Game 6 on Thursday night. The series against the Spurs begins Monday night in San Antonio.

Greetings e-universe-
I hope this finds you all healthy and happy in the New Year. Things for me are going rather swimmingly, albeit much slower and slightly duller than my Army days. The big news, of course, is the publication of Kaboom: Embracing the Suck in a Savage Little War, by Da Capo Press, on April 1. (While I appreciate a good gag on April Fool's Day, if this is one, I'm not in on it, I assure all of you). It bears a passing resemblance to the material on this blog, but the majority of its content is new and has been vetted by an honest to Allah editing process. Amazing what another set of eyes can do, isn't it? Further, it spans my unit's entire fifteen months in Iraq, as opposed to the six or so that are chronicled here.
Anyhow, I want this to be an informative update, not just a shameless plug, especially in the midst of this economy - nonetheless, I must mention that Kaboom: Embracing the Suck in a Savage Little War is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and Borders.com. Its own website will be up shortly, and I'll pass along that URL when the website is completed. I think the book is pretty good - pretty damn good, actually - and the good people at Da Capo are a big reason why. If you get a chance to read it - and I mean read it, not just buy it, because the former is far more important - I hope and believe you'll agree. My aim was to make it unlike any other modern war memoir out there, in terms of voice, literary style, and bringing my soldiers to life out of the banal silhouettes they are all too often described as. Only time and your feedback can determine is such an ambition was achieved.
On the personal front, I've settled into big city life in New York. The adjustments to the crowds and to the winter has been interesting, but the subway offers endless entertainment, and being able to see City Girl regularly is definitely worthy of hyperbole. I'm in the throes of grad school applications, and will likely be in school next fall channeling my Iraq experience into Islamic Studies or Middle Eastern History of some sort.
I continue to stay in contact with the Gravediggers and the Gunslingers (the unit I spent my time with in Iraq post-blog brouhaha). As occurs with most military units after a deployment, we are strewn across the globe at this point, with many preparing for yet another tour of duty in Iraq or Afghanistan. The stoic resoluteness of our soldiers continues to astound me, and I am keenly aware that my time in the service will always be with me, no matter where I may drift away to in this life.
I'll be updating this blog, fairly regularly, as the publication date for Kaboom nears. Many of my family, friends, and e-acquaintances have asked about the process, so I'll do my best to describe it as I go through it. It's definitely exciting, but don't expect a rock n roll diary - from what I've gathered thus far, the book world is slightly more boring than that.
Oh, and feel free to bask in the awesomeness of the cover!

Arctic Ocean BiodiversityEntry ID: ArcOD

Abstract: The Arctic Ocean is unique on Earth in its physical and biological properties. It is the most extreme ocean in regard to the seasonality of light and its year-round existing ice cover. Current knowledge indicates that the Arctic seas hold a multitude of unique life forms highly adapted in their life history, ecology and physiology to the extreme and seasonal conditions of their environment. Our knowledge of what currently lives in the Arctic Ocean is still rudimentary compared to most other regions, due to the logistical challenges imposed by its multiyear ice and inhospitable climate.

His credits include Love Is All You Need, A Royal Affair and forthcoming Nymphomaniac.
Danish producer and ceo of Zentropa Entertainments Peter Aalbaek Jensen will retire from his top position of the company he created with Danish director Lars von Trier in 1992: he has informed the company board that he will leave the management as of February 2015.
According to local tabloid Ekstra-Bladet he made the decision last year when he had to make 50 Zentropa employees redundant because of financial problems. "It f****** hurt – firing somebody, whom I have grown up with, and whose wives and children I know. I will now use the next two years to stabilise the business, sort of clean up behind the dresser," he said.
The announcement follows a series of articles in Danish papers, questioning Aalbæk Jensen's business methods, suggesting that public support for film has been redirected into private enterprises, and that he sold Zentropa shares to producers, directors and staff, who later lost money, still – unknowingly – guaranteed for a loan covering Zentropa property transactions.
"Dear boys, the financial affairs of my companies concern the IRS, God and myself, in that order," was Aalbæk Jensen's response to further queries. As for his future plans he hoped he could still produce a film annually for Zentropa, now less executive, but closer to the filmmaking process, and run a week-end restaurant at his Herfølge home serving home-grown vegetables and pigs.
Among Aalbæk Jensen's 169 credits are Danish directors Susanne Bier's Love Is All You Need, and Nikolaj Arcel's A Royal Affair, both on the current local charts from 650,000 and 540,000 admissions, respectively, which he executive produced. He is also backing Lars von Trier's upcoming Nymphomaniac.

Unemployment Rate Lowest Since Obama Took Office
FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) _ President Barack Obama says an encouraging jobs report shows that the country has made too much progress to turn back to the policies that he says led the nation into an economic crisis.
Obama got much-needed good news Friday following his disappointing debate performance as the unemployment rate dropped to 7.8 percent. That's the lowest it's been since he took office in 2009.
At a campaign event in suburban Washington, Obama said the report was "a reminder that this country has come too far to turn back now."
Cheers erupted from the crowd at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., when Obama noted that the jobless rate is now at its lowest level since he became president.
Republican rival Mitt Romney says Obama still hasn't done enough to create jobs.

There is a way to instill a panic in your neighborhood without doing anything remotely illegal or obscene. I can tell you how to avoid this, though I probably don't have to. You are a better person than I am, and as a better person, you will make the phone calls I didn't make. You will warn your neighbors of the potentially alarming display they may witness should they happen to look out the window. You will keep your voice calm and reassuringly open with an equivalent of the following: Hey! Good morning! Listen, I wanted to tell you, in case you happen to see me on the road in the next half hour or so, that I have not discovered zombies in my basement, and I don't have a mouse in my pants, and the house isn't on fire. I'm not having a psychotic episode or manufacturing any sort of extreme imaginary horror either. I'm just running as fast as I can. It's something called interval training. It's supposed to be good for you.
I imagine the people in the first house I pass one morning enjoying a peaceful breakfast at the bay window, the youngest having just asked for a refill of her juice when her father lunges to cover her eyes so she won't see the man clobbering down the road at knock-gut speed--legs pumping, arms chopping, head jabbing, lips frozen in a happy grimace, the approximate movement of 20-odd zoo animals grappling beneath his clothing. A few houses down, an older couple gazes out the window at the cardinal in the feeder. In unison, they lower their coffee cups from their lips and stare blankly at the man who slobbers into view, gasping and heaving, collapsing forward, holding his knees, arching his back with a fist to his mouth. Will he vomit? asks the lady. He may, says the man.
Progress in every case is preceded by variations of the same seven words: There has to be a better way. If a respected source claimed there was a way to accomplish a difficult task more efficiently and realize a substantial benefit in as little as two weeks without the use of any banned substances and without making a pact with the devil--if this source told you all you had to do was run as fast as you can for as long as you can, at the risk of looking like a fool, wouldn't you try it?
I had just come across an article in The New York Times detailing the findings of a study in the Journal of Applied Physiology that claimed after only two weeks of interval training, six of eight participants doubled their endurance. A later study in the same journal found that again, after only two weeks of intervals (10 sets of four minutes of full exertion followed by two minutes of rest, every other day) participants increased their body's fat-burning ability during subsequent low-to moderate-intensity workouts by 36 percent. A 36 percent increase in fat-burning for the same old workout!
The mechanism by which these gains were accomplished, according to Jason L. Talanian, the lead author of the study, had to do, in part, with the ability of interval training to stimulate mitochondria, tiny cellular motors that convert fuel into energy, to burn fat first before tapping into carbohydrate stores--glad news to anyone who has been begging their body at every possible turn to burn the fat first! Additionally, the burst of exertion required by intervals recruited new muscles that, once trained, used fuel during subsequent low-to moderate-intensity workouts, making those workouts far more fat consumptive than any previous.
That's all I needed to hear. I pushed away from the table and went to look for my shoes. This interval thing was for me. I was all, "Interval, dog, 'cause that's how we burn the fat first in the Valley."
Outside the house, I stood on the quiet road with the morning breeze blowing through my shirt. I kicked my legs a few times and shook my feet from my ankles and bent my neck to either side and swung my arms. The plan, if there was one, was to just run as fast as I possibly could for as far as I could go, then walk until finding the strength and the breath to do it again, and continue like that for a total of a mile out and a mile back. My regular two-miler, done in frantic spurts.
The speed came instantly, and I fought to ride it without spinning into the ditch by focusing on the farthest point of the road while my feet and knees and hands and arms flickered in my peripheral vision. When you look strange, it's probably best to just go with it and not try to fix anything in the moment. A child looks joyful when running full speed. A grown adult looks crazy. Even without the ability to see myself, I knew I looked crazy.
When the first car approached and the driver saw me barreling toward her, I tried to smile so as to diffuse the situation-- something that would make a full-out sprint look casual from the neck up. But it's difficult to run your fastest while smiling casually. The jostling of your face requires that you hold the smile tightly, driving the casual straight out of it and turning it to more of a Jack Nicholson, Here's Johnny! smile than anything else. And I'm a waver when I'm on the road. Not so much of "Hi there" as a combination between "Don't hit me with your car" and a "No need to call the ambulance."
But you can't wave when running full speed either. You can try--and I did--but a grown man smiling and waving while running full speed in your direction is more likely to make you reach for the nearest make-shift club than to smile and wave back. The driver locked her eyes to mine and cut a wide path as she passed.
I made it a little over a quarter of a mile before pulling the rip cord and letting out the chute. The tight lines of my stride dissolved into looping arcs that slowed me to a walk. Don't cry, I thought. Breathe, keep walking. As soon as I could recite my phone number and identify the current president, I took off again. Several more rounds took me out to a mile in what felt like record time. Subsequent flights going back grew dramatically shorter, but the walk connecting the flights began to feel productive. Between bouts of nausea, I could feel all my cellular fuel-to-energy con versions--all those mitochondria burning the fat first, baby. I made it back home in about the same amount of time as I would have had I done my usual trot.
The next day I could hardly move. By that evening, I could use the shower and feed myself. I ran again as soon as possible, a week and a half later--a slow, sensible run that didn't scare the neighbors. With muscles still groaning from abuse, I was grateful just to be shuffling along at my regular pace. I knew I probably would try intervals again someday, after the pain was forgotten. A 36 percent gain, no matter where you find it, is tough to ignore. In the meantime, I'd do my runs on this road and let my body burn the fat just as soon as it got around to it, baby. The most important promise I made to myself that morning was to never read The New York Times until after I finished a run.

Winter Wonder Land, Martin Parr the Next New Pictures Artist
I am delighted to announce that British photographer Martin Parr will be the next New Pictures artist at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts this spring. Martin will cross the Atlantic in a few weeks to shoot photos covering the wealth of winter activities in Minnesota, from pond hockey to ice fishing. Given Martin's track record of capturing the British middle class and international wealth, we expect a unique and foreign take on cultural and athletic life in our state.
A member of the esteemed Magnum Photos, an international photographers' cooperative, Parr is one of the most renowned and celebrated photographers working today. He is known for his innovative use of color photography and his humorous approach to documenting the daily rituals of life. Parr is also recognized for his work as an editor of photo-based publications, and is credited with more than twenty compilations of his own work. In 2008, he was awarded the Royal Photographic Society Centenary Medal and the Baume & Mercier award for his career contributions to contemporary photography.
New Pictures 6: Martin Parr opens April 20, 2012 and runs through the summer.

SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake announced on Friday that it has traded DF Lovel Palmer to the Chicago Fire in exchange for allocation money. Per league and club policy, the amount of allocation money exchanged will not be disclosed.
"I'd like to thank Lovel on behalf of the Real Salt Lake organization for his contributions to the team," RSL GM Garth Lagerwey said. "He was an important part of our on-field success and a very good presence in the locker room this year. We wish him all the best in Chicago."
Palmer spent one year with RSL, appearing 17 times and making 14 starts in regular season play and making 21 appearances and 16 starts across all competitions. The 29-year-old Jamaican was selected by RSL on Dec. 14, 2012 in Stage 2 of the MLS Re-Entry Draft and signed a contract with the team several weeks later.
"Real Salt Lake will always have a special place in my heart," Palmer said. "I wouldn't trade this last season with RSL for anything. If someone said to me at the beginning of the year that we would do it all over again, that RSL and Sporting Kansas City would be in MLS Cup and Kansas City would win, I wouldn't trade teams. I wouldn't trade the Real Salt Lake experience for the MLS Cup. That's how much being with RSL, being in Salt Lake City and in Utah meant to me. It's a bittersweet moment knowing I won't be in that locker room again next year, but at the same time I'm excited to be with the Fire and stay with [Chicago Assistant Coach and former RSL Assistant] C.J. Brown. Joining Chicago is a very exciting opportunity and I'm really looking forward to being with the Fire."
Palmer appeared in three of RSL's MLS Cup Playoff games this year, twice coming on for injured DF Chris Wingert and starting the second leg of the Claret-and-Cobalt's Western Conference Championship series win at the Portland Timbers on Nov. 24. Palmer has 24 career caps for the Jamaican National Team.
Player: Lovel Palmer
Position: Defender
Height: 5-foot-10
Weight: 160 lbs.
Date of Birth: Aug. 20, 1984
Birthplace: Mandeville, Jamaica
Citizenship: Jamaica (U.S. Green Card Holder)
How acquired: Selected in the first round of Stage 2 of the MLS Re-Entry Draft on Dec. 14, 2012. Signed to a contract with RSL on Jan. 3, 2013.
How departed: Traded to the Chicago Fire in exchange for allocation money on Dec. 13, 2013.

Defence firm Ultra goes cyber with AEP buy
Slings military might into cyberwarfare
UK-based defence conglomerate Ultra Electronics has acquired security appliance firm AEP Networks in a deal valued at up to $75m. Ultra Electronics agreed to pay $57.5m plus a further $17.5m, depending on sales figures, for the remote appliance firm.
AEP Networks specialises in SSL VPN appliances that allow workers to securely connect into corporate applications and databases without the need to install client software on every PC, thus saving money. The technology works in conjunction with remote access hardware encryption products. More recently AEP also began marketing a subscriber-based thin client virtualisation service called Cloud Protect.
Most of AEP's 80 employees are based in Ascot, Berkshire and Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. AEP also has a sales and engineering operation in New Jersey in the US. It claims 5,000 blue chip and government customers in over 60 countries.
Ultra Electronics's main line of business is defence and aerospace, although it has a finger in many pies, including energy and transport. AEP will join Ultra's Tactical & Sonar Systems division.
The end game for most security firms is to be bought by the likes of Symantec, Cisco or Juniper. Less frequently start-ups grow to the point where an IPO is possible.
The AEP deal shows that a greater range of businesses – including those in the defence sector – are looking to expand their cyber-security capabilities, primarily because it might allow them to gain a slice of lucrative government net security contracts. ®

There are more than 50 countries in the world which have an Islamic constitution or where the majority of the population follows the Islamic faith. The Organization of Islamic Co-operation (OIC) has 57 nations as its members. It is the second largest international organ only preceded by the United Nations. India was not included in this international body because Pakistan actively opposed India´s participation. India has more Muslims than many other smaller Islamic states that are members of the OIC.
Over the years we have seen how this international organization has used its platform to lobby and coerce other states into following norms that may be alien to their cultural practices. OIC even tried to internationalize the Kashmir issue, which India insists is an internal matter. Let us stop beating around the bush. There is something called Islamic lobbyism and it is far stronger than Jewish lobbyism.
We saw how the world opinion was shaped in the present Israel-Palestine conflict. Muslims in European countries are also getting highly organized and are now demanding removal of journalists with Jewish background from the function of newsreader or as hosts on TV programmes. One such case was recently noticed in Denmark when Martin Krasnik, a host at a popular news analysis programme, was dubbed an incompetent Zionist, and thousands of signatures were collected to demand his removal from his post, just because he is of Jewish origin.
In Europe more and more mosques are funded from abroad, creating room for increasing the possibility of cultural influence. Very few dare to question the sources of the funding. But as soon as some writers try to question the validity and impunity of Hamas, or Hezbollah or ISIS, then eyebrows are raised.
Pankaj Mishra, in a well-read and widely circulated article written on 3rd August in Bloomberg View, does agree that Israelis are unfairly singled out because of their acts of self-defence, but simultaneously even he fails to bring forth examples of genocide committed by Islamic countries. It is acceptable for Pankaj Mishra to cite an example of Sri Lanka´s civil war, where 40,000 were killed. But he fails to mention the genocide committed by West Pakistan on Bangladesh in 1971 where 3 million people were killed. One does not have to go far back in history. The death toll in the present war in Syria is soon to surpass the total of 200,000. It is an example of atrocity committed by one Muslim group on another. But Israel always faces the brunt of international pressure for defending, relatively speaking, a tiny piece of earth compared to the vast area of earth controlled by Islamic countries.
It is welcoming news that Israel is withdrawing its troops from Gaza, but the damage is done to its international image. If the Jewish lobby was so strong, how come they did not manage to influence and win the world opinion to their side?
We are witnessing a growing global anti-Israel animosity spreading right across the globe. Hamas, which is a terrorist organization, enjoys impunity when one-sided criticism of Israel is endorsed in the United Nations resolution singling out Israel for condemnation.
It is simply a myth that the Jewish lobby is strong. Compare it with the influence of Islamic countries which are so many in numbers and which have constantly opposed India´s and Israel´s positions on sensitive issues.
The present Indian Modi-government should really dig into and find out if it was the pressure from Islamic countries that prevented India from developing a healthier and closer relation with Denmark. After Jyllands-Posten, a Danish newspaper, published a cartoon of the prophet Mohammed, India has been tip-toeing and not wanting to be seen in the company of Denmark. How come we were ready to throw a very good relation on board? I am very well aware of the fact that the official reasons cited were masquerading as something altogether different.
It is high time for India´s relations with Denmark to improve drastically as both can benefit from investment and growth. Nevertheless, it once again drives my point home that a strong Islamic lobby exists, and it pressurizes non-Islamic countries to accept Islamic norms and values.
Today it is Israel´s turn. Tomorrow it will be India´s. Both India and Israel are victims of growing global Islamic lobbyism.

Lyrics:First verseOld Man Jazz has just arrived in town, Ev'ry little thing is up side down, Ev'ry body's got a lot of pep, All the young and old begin to step No one cares a bit about his rep Bring on the Band! Old Man Jazz, just weke 'em up Old Man Jazz just shake 'em up, Play a flock of wicked blues for Mary Ann and Jimmie They will start to shiveree and shake the shimmie Old Man Jazz, The music's great, Old Man Jazz, Don't hesitate, Ev'ry body likes to do the Razz-ma-Tazz, Old Man Jazz. ChorusSome Jazz! Old Man Jazz has gone a way from town, That's why ev'ry body wears a frown. No more pretty rags or mean old blues, Better put away your dancing shoes, Guess he's gone away with Mister Booze! That's all there is!Second verseListen to that moaning Saxophone, Hear that fellow play that Slide Trombone, Watch the busy Drummer throw his sticks, See the little Fiddler do his tricks Now the whole "She-bang" begins to mix I'll say she's wild! Old Man Jazz, just treat em rough, Old Man Jazz, they like the stuff, Ev'ry time the band begins to play those funny blue notes Ev'ry body in the hall will sway like "U" boats Old Man Jazz, You've made a hit, Old Man Jazz, Don't dare to quit, No one else can lay a rag so pretty as Old Man Jazz.

SOUTHFIELD (AP) -- Bagger Dave's restaurants in Michigan are helping to raise money this month for the Children's Leukemia Foundation.
Through Feb. 28, a number of Bagger Dave's locations in the state are taking part in the foundation's 2013 Hearts of Hope campaign.
Bagger Dave's patrons can support the foundation by buying a paper heart pinup for $1 at restaurants in Ann Arbor, Berkley, Oakland County's Bloomfield Township, Brighton, Kent County's Cascade Township, East Lansing, Grand Rapids, Holland, Novi and Macomb County's Shelby Township.
Those who buy the pinup can write personalized messages that will be displayed in the restaurants.
The campaign benefits the thousands of Michigan families affected by leukemia, lymphoma and related blood disorders who have turned to the Children's Leukemia Foundation of Michigan for financial help and emotional support.

Hey, look at this….it's still June and I'm posting our progress. Woo Hoo!
Sandy and I always have our "show 'n tell" at our Woolies group which meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays. Yesterday was the deadline for getting our projects done. We both managed to get everything done!
Sandy picked all the projects for this month.
Here goes!
First up is the Buttermilk Basin mats, "By thy hands BOM"
This one is Sandy's
And this is mine.
We are continuing making projects from the "101 Fabulous Small Quilts" book. This one is called "Native American Quilt".
The stitchery project she chose for us is by Chestnut Junction called, "Sunflowers 4 Sale".
Sandy chose to make hers into a pillow.
The first one I made was all in wool.
Then I remembered it was supposed to be our stitchery project, so I made another one.
We are still making Christmas projects, so this next one is by Farmhouse Threads called, "Sugar and Spice".
We both stuck to the pattern colors. This one is Sandy's.
And mine…
Another Buttermilk Basin project chosen was the "Seasonal Fall Runner".
and mine…
Jack decided he needed to get in the picture.
Ahhh, now you can see the flag and crow. LOL.
This next project was supposed to be a May project, but Sandy completely forgot about it, so it carried over to June.
The pattern is by Primitive Pieces by Lynda called, "Rudolph".
It's only 7" x 8", so you can turn it into all sorts of finished projects.
Sandy chose to do some little pillows.
And I thought of little wall hangings.
And last up is a freebie project from May Britt of Abyquilt.blogspot.com. It's the 2011 Christmas Heart. If you make it, be sure and reference it back to her.
Sandy made this darling little bag and filled it with berries and greens. Isn't it darling? Wish I had thought of that.
I did a little wall hanging. (I also made a pillow, but it's not stuffed yet, so technically, I guess, it's not finished. LOL)
So, that's it for June. The next couple of months will have fewer projects because we both realize our limits when it comes to summer. But…we are still committed to continuing our challenge.
If I'm not back before the 4th, have a wonderful holiday. Stay safe tho.
Hugs, Anne

The Maserati Quattroporte remains a solid choice for the premium sedan buyer who craves a fun-to-drive vehicle with lots of character. Oh, and the Quattroporte's Ferrari-derived engines certainly don't hurt, either.
The name Quattroporte refers to the number of doors on this still-stylish sedan. We say "still" because the Quattroporte has been on the market for a while, though for 2011 some aesthetic and interior changes bring it closer to the sedan's more mainstream competition. No Mercedes-Benz S550 can touch the Quattroporte's one-of-a-kind appeal, though that car can be had for much less money than the Maserati. But one stab at the Quattroporte's gas pedal should be all that's required to erase any buyer's remorse.
The base model Quattroporte is powered by a 4.2-liter V-8 producing 400 horsepower that's good for a 0-to-60 mph sprint of 5.5 seconds. If that's simply not good enough, go for the S model — which now gets the exterior upgrades of the Sport GTS trim. Both the Sport and the Sport GTS are powered by a 4.7-liter V-8 and capable of acceleration from 0-to-60 mph in 5.3 seconds.
Bodystyles: Sedan
Engines: 4.2L V-8, 4.7L V-8
Transmissions: 6-speed automatic, 6-speed auto-clutch manual
Models: Quattroporte, S, Sport GTS
For 2011, the mid-level Quattroporte S receives the exterior enhancements found on the high-end Sport GTS model, including red-painted brake calipers, black headlight surrounds, 20-inch Multi-Trident silver wheels, and more. Two new packages that group popular options are available for base and S models and all Quattroportes now have the same multimedia head unit from the GranTurismo that features a 6.5-inch display.
The Quattroporte is one of the sexier designs in its class, whether you choose the base model or the visually upgraded S and Sport GTS trims. The same basic shape has been in production for years and that's no bad thing.
With the addition of an updated 6.5-inch multimedia head unit into all Quattroportes, the interior might not feel as outdated as it once did. There are millions of possible interior combinations utilizing all manner of leather, wood, and Alcantara trim.
Base Quattroportes get a 4.2-liter V-8 producing 400 horsepower. Move to the S model and the top speed is bumped to 174 mph and the engine is a 4.7-liter V-8 with 425 horsepower. Upgrading to the Sport GTS trim and you'll have one focused Quattroporte, with a single-setting suspension that's been stiffened 30 percent at the front and 10 percent at the rear.
Front airbags, side curtain airbags, side impact airbags in the front doors, electronic brake force distribution, Brembo braking system, and the Maserati Stability Program, which integrates stability and traction control, are all part of the Quattroporte safety package.
Quattroporte: 11 mpg city/17 mpg highway
Quattroporte S, Sport GTS: 11 mpg city/18 mpg highway
Stylish break from the expected

The NE1 web builder has a special "Asset Manager" that will assist in placing media files.
NOTE: If you are streaming MP3 files be sure to select the .m3u file rather than the .mp3 file. If you are streaming RealAudio files be sure to select the .ram file rather than the .rm on your multimedia page. See the next question for details.
If you are not using NE1, then you should create a link to the URL of each audio file.

If there was a four team dubs game how would it work? Would each player have their own unique target, or would each team have another team as a target?
Personally I don't think it would add anything worthwhile, at least not with other things that need prioritising first. Don't we have enough choice already?

The inaugural Cancun-Riviera Maya Wine & Food Festival held in 2012 was a resounding success and the event did not rest on its laurels. Looking at what they have in store for 2013, they clearly are looking to one up themselves. This year the theme is "Europe meets the Americas" and will be celebrating Italy and its most admired Chef, Massimo Bottura, taking place from March 14th through March 17th.
The combination of world-class chefs and sommeliers to go along with the breathtaking setting of Riviera Maya make this a truly one-of-a-kind event.

One of the world's pre-eminent opera singers, an ambassador of American song and something of a cyber-philanthropist, Thomas Hampson is a busy man.
The American baritone regularly performs at the world's leading opera houses and concert halls throughout the USA and Europe. He has recorded more than 150 albums, and actively encourages musical and cultural education through the Hampsong Foundation.
This summer, he will appear at the Royal Opera House as the Doge in Elijah Moshinsky's production of Verdi's Simon Boccanegra, a role that he performed to critical acclaim last year with Chicago's Lyric Opera. Though received poorly at its premiere in 1857, the opera, which follows the fateful tale of Genoa's first doge, is now considered to be one of Verdi's most compelling works.
If I were standing against a wall before a firing squad being forced to name my favorite opera, Simon Boccanegra would be one of the operas I would think of naming."
'Boccanegra is even more fundamentally a part of my musical and theatrical soul than Macbeth,' said Hampson in a recent online interview.
Hampson has one of the biggest operatic repetories of any singer; ranging from Monteverdi, to major roles in operas by Mozart, Verdi and Wagner, as well as contemporary pieces by composers including Hans Werner Henze and Paul Hindemith. He often takes on new roles, most recently debuting as Iago in Verdi's Otello, and, in 2011, he created the role of Rick Rescorla in the Christopher Theofanidis's Heart of a Soldier, an opera composed to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Despite his stellar career in classical music, Hampson had no ambitions to be a singer until he was in his twenties. Though he played the piano as a boy, he admits that, at the time, he would rather have been playing baseball. He studied political science at university, and then was persuaded to start singing by a vocal coach and nun he met in his home town of Spokane, Washington State. He went on to train at Fort Wright College and in California, before making his operatic debut in 1974 in a local production of Hänsel und Gretel.
Hampson is now a revered performer, recently awarded the title of "Met Mastersinger" by the Metropolitan Opera Guild. He last performed at the Royal Opera House as Giorgio Germont in Verdi's La traviata in 2009.
We'll be interviewing Thomas Hampson early in March, before rehearsals begin for Simon Boccanegra. If you have any questions for the singer, let us know via comments on this post or via Twitter, using the hashtag #AskThomasHampson - we'll ask him a selection during our interview.
Simon Boccanegra opens at the Royal Opera House on 27 June and runs until 16 July. Booking opens 13 March for Friends of Covent Garden and General Booking opens 9 April. This production is made possible through the generous support of Mrs Susan A Olde OBE, Alfiya and Timur Kuanyshev, and the Verdi Syndicate.

Knit in Canada
Today is Canada's 146th birthday, and as I'm a Canadian I have decided to do a special post of Canada Day knitting patterns. I know from the analytic data I have on this blog's readership that most of you aren't Canadian (the internet being, as you know, like that), so I've tried to pick items that would be as universally appealing as possible. Not that it was so hard to steer myself away from the patterns that looked like something you'd buy in the CN Tower gift shop. I've got a 30" x 42" Canadian flag that I happily put out on my porch for signal occasions such as Victoria Day, Canada Day, Remembrance Day and other signal occasions like the Olympics or the upcoming crushing defeat of the Harper Conservatives in the next federal election (ohpleaseohpleaseohplease), but I don't care to actually wear the flag or other tacky souvenir stuff myself. I like flags best when they're of a size to be noticed, on a flagpole, and flapping gaily in the wind.
The pattern for the little toy Mountie above is from Kath Dalmeny's World of Knitted Toys. My father actually wanted to join the RCMP as a boy, and did casual labour jobs for several years while he waited to turn 19, the youngest age at which he would be eligible to apply. Then he did everything he needed to do to qualify, including getting his small plane pilot's license. He left getting his doctor's certificate until last, because as a young, fit, 6', 190-pound man in excellent health he had no worries on the score. But as it turned out he wasn't able to get his doctor's certificate, because he had too many allergies. He became a farmer instead, as that was so much better for his allergies.
This Maple bag is a Knitty pattern, and therefore free. I love the colours of this little messenger bag — so soft and warm and well-blended.
These O Canada Mittens are a free pattern, and were, obviously, designed for the 2010 Olympics. I'd rejig the pattern the get rid of the date and the Olympic circles. That's always the way of it with Olympic wear — it's very of the moment and has a definite shelf life. Does anyone remember those Roots poor boy caps from the 1998 Olympics in Nagano? They were such a hot item Roots couldn't keep up with the demand, and then six months after closing ceremonies I saw one in a thrift shop priced at $1.99.
These Canada socks are from Knitting on the Road, by Nancy Bush. They're a subtle way to pay tribute to Canada. Or to maple syrup.
The I'm Canadian, Eh beaver pattern is a $6(USD) download. I don't think I'd make the hockey stick accessory for this pattern. This cute little guy is a nice toy on his own, and adding the hockey stick makes him look like the kind of kitsch we Canadians foist off on tourists.
This Maple Blanket is available as a $1.99(USD) download on Ravelry. It's knitted in one piece and in one colour, and I should think it'd be the perfect autumnal throw for a country house or cottage.
These Curling Socks are available as a $6(USD) download on Ravelry. Canada can't actually claim to "own" curling as curling is actually a medieval Scottish game that was brought to Canada by emigrés from Scotland, but curling now has more of a following in Canada than in any other country. My own theory is that this is because curling, like bowling, darts, and pool, is something to do in between beers. I'm joking, or at least partly joking. Canadian curling clubs are licensed to serve alcohol, but drink too much while you're playing and you'll fall on your butt.
The Betsy's Goose pattern is available as a free download. And how cute are these Canadian geese? The answer is, "much cuter than the real thing", because when I think of Canadian geese I think of the gang of them that hangs out in the park near my parents' house during the warmer months and that gets larger and more aggressive and domineering every year. What used to be a "peaceful, scenic walk by the river" is now a "walk through reams of poo and hurry off the path because you're getting pursued by dozens of geese doing that hissy, flappy thing".
This Maple Leaves Hat is a $5(USD) download. I really like that the designer used a handpainted yarn for the leaf pattern. Red and white can look more than a little obvious, but a different colourway turns a souvenir-like maple leaf pattern anything into something that's simply autumnal themed.
The Foehn Mitts pattern is available as a $6(CAD) download. Yay! A pattern that's priced in Canadian currency! And yes I was aware of the irony thus far in the post.
Happy Canada Day all!
Coming up: The third post in my twentieth century knitting patterns series, "Fair Isle and Sportswear: 1920-1929"!

Cape Aloe Natural Laxative
Cape aloe, cascara sagrada, and senna are all natural herbs known for their laxative effect on the body. They have been used for centuries to help relieve constipation (irregularity). All three elements contain naturally occurring chemicals called anthraquinone glycosides. These glycosides work to increase peristalsis (contractions of the intestinal walls). These anthraquinone laxatives are also believed to ease constipation by increasing the amount of water and electrolytes in the intestine. Additional Ingredients Help Relieve Intestinal Cramping and Gas In addition to the natural laxatives cape aloe, cascara sagrada, and senna, Cape Aloe Lax includes fennel seed and African bird pepper, which help make the process gentler.
Vitabase Cape Aloe Lax is an excellent natural alternative to other laxatives. It can be used for the relief of occasional constipation (irregularity). This product generally produces bowel movements in 6 to 12 hours.

Official Synopsis For 'Damned,' The New Novel
Courtesy of Random House, comes the official synopsis of Chuck Palahniuk's upcoming novel Damned. What little we know about the book previously, told us that a young girl dies and goes to hell, and that Chuck was very influenced by the Young Adult novels of Judy Blume, while writing it. Now, we have this official synopsis that was recently posted at RandomHouse.com:
"Are you there, Satan? It's me, Madison," declares the whip-tongued eleven-year-old narrator of Damned, Chuck Palahniuk's subversive new work of fiction. The daughter of a narcissistic film star and a billionaire, Madison is abandoned at her Swiss boarding school over Christmas, while her parents are off touting their new projects and adopting more orphans. She dies over the holiday of a marijuana overdose—and the next thing she knows, she's in Hell. Madison shares her cell with a motley crew of young sinners that is almost too good to be true: a cheerleader, a jock, a nerd, and a punk rocker, united by fate to form the six-feet-under version of everyone's favorite detention movie. Madison and her pals trek across the Dandruff Desert and climb the treacherous Mountain of Toenail Clippings to confront Satan in his citadel. All the popcorn balls and wax lips that serve as the currency of Hell won't buy them off.
This is the afterlife as only Chuck Palahniuk could imagine it: a twisted inferno where The English Patient plays on endless repeat, roaming demons devour sinners limb by limb, and the damned interrupt your dinner from their sweltering call center to hard-sell you Hell. He makes eternal torment, well, simply divine.
Damned drops on October 18, 2011.

Okay, so I was a little disheartened when the Loverman dropped the DAF Pony bomb. But I got up, dusted myself off, checked for traces of polonium and syphillis, and then I got busy. Dude, Jonny. There was also a FAF Pony! What's more, there was the FAF Patrol, which featured your beloved four-wheel drive, and is probably the ultimate French car for listening to Discharge at very high volumes in. Beyond that, the madmen at Citro n came up with a plot to build FAF factories in developing nations, using local labor and materiel. They even laid out an equipment list for the plants. Which, in classic French style, featured a guillotine. Beat that, you wooden-shoe wearing hippies! Click through for the scheme.
Things required to build 500 FAFs a year [Parts not included]
12 pneumatic welding tongs, water-cooled
4 pneumatic sanders
1 arc welding unit
6 oxyacetylene torches
4 spray guns
2 sewing machines
1 guillotine
1 pair of shears
1 punching machine
1 lathe
4 pneumatic drills
