Skip to comments.Russia's self-exiled tycoon Boris Berezovsky dies at 67
Posted on 03/24/2013 4:15:12 PM PDT by annalex
The self-exiled Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky was found dead in his home outside London on Saturday. Police have launched an investigation and chemical hazard experts are currently present at the scene.
Follow RT's live coverage of events surrounding Berezovsky's death.
The oligarch was once seen as one of the most influential people in modern Russian history. Gaining incredible fortune during the Perestroika years and having had enormous influence on Russian politics he became a trademark of the turbulent 90s. After fleeing to London in 2000, the tycoon became the center of a circle of anti-Putin exiles, along with Chechen rebel envoy Akhmed Zakayev. In Russia he was found guilty in several high-profile fraud cases.
Thames Valley Police are currently treating the death as unexplained and stress a full inquiry is under way. They have referred to the person as "a 67-year-old man," but add that the man is believed to be Russian national Boris Berezovsky. The area around the property in Ascot, Berkshire, has been cordoned off to allow the investigation to take place. CBRN has been conducting tests and precautionary searches in order to enable a further investigation into the death, according to an official statement from police. So far chemical and radiation investigators said no traces of foreign substances have been found and his house was clear, according to Thames Valley Police.
The news from Britain first emerged on Facebook, where Berezovskys son-in-law Egor Schuppe posted a status, giving no details regarding the nature of his death. Damian Kudryavtsev, the former CEO of Kommersant Publishing House and a family friend, was one of the first to announce that the businessman died of heart attack at 11:00 GMT.
Aleksandr Dobrovinksy, a famous lawyer and head of the Moscow-based The Alexander Dobrovinsky & Partners law firm, was the first to suggest that Berezovsky could have committed suicide.
Speaking to RT he said: Two people called me around 8pm saying Berezovsky had died. One told it was suicide, and the second person said he might have died of a heart attack. I previously heard from people close to Berezovsky that he was practically broke and utterly depressed. A person I know called me and said that Berezovsky even asked to borrow $ 5,000 for a ticket. He was also seriously ill.
The body of Russian tycoon, who in early 1990s was member of Boris Yeltsins inner circle but later turned into harsh critic of Vladimir Putin, was found in the bathroom of his Surrey estate, Russian Channel One reported. The channel also said that Berezovsky had suffered several heart attacks over the course of last week.
Berezovskys spokesman Lord Tim Bell has said that the body was found by a security guard.
A call to emergency services made from Berezovskys house was received at 15:18 GMT, LifeNews reports.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has been informed of the incident, his spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said.
Much of his wealth was built up during the so-called Perestroika period in 1990s Russia. Capitalizing on a time of instability and opportunity Brerezovsky became the richest man in the post-Soviet country.
In 2008 Forbes estimated his fortune at $1.3 billion. However, over the past few years legal battles cost the tycoon dearly.
In August, Berezovsky lost a $5.6-billion court battle against Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich in a highly publicized dispute over the ownership of the profitable oil company Sibneft. He was further ordered to pay Abramovichs $56 million in legal costs.
Berezovskys son-in-law reportedly said the oligarch had been suffering from depression recently. Further noting that he failed to keep in touch with friends and acquaintances, and often chose to stay at home rather than go out.
Berezovsky made headlines earlier this week, after news broke that the tycoon was auctioning off an Andy Warhol portrait of Soviet leader Vladimir Lenin. The oligarch was planning to sell his limited edition Red Lenin print in hopes of paying off creditors and legal bills, the Times reported. The 1987 portrait has been estimated by Christie's to be worth between $45,000 and $75,000, and is reportedly in excellent condition.
Berezovsky left Russia in 2000, shortly after his relationship with President Putin and Russias government began to deteriorate. Just three weeks into Vladimir Putins first presidential term, details of the pairs spat became public knowledge.
He moved to London in 2001, where he was granted political asylum. Two years later Berezovsky was given new documents in the name of Platon Elenin, by the British Home Office.
Berezevskys battles with the Kremlin didnt end with exit from Russia. In London the tycoon became the center of a circle of anti-Putin exiles, along with Chechen rebel envoy Akhmed Zakayev and former Russian agent Alexander Litvinenko, who died of polonium poisoning in November 2006.
While Scotland Yard considers Andrey Lugovoi, who is currently serving as a deputy in Russias State Duma, a main suspect in the killing, Lugovoi himself points the finger of blame at exiled Berezovsky.
Commenting on the news from London, Dmitry Peskov claimed that recently Berezovsky had been in personal contact, asking the president for forgiveness for his mistakes and permission to return to [his] motherland.
Some time ago, maybe a couple of months ago, Berezovsky addressed Putin in a letter, written by him personally, in which he admitted he made a lot of mistakes and was asking for forgiveness and to help him to return to the motherland, Peskov told Russia 24 channel.
In reference to that letter, political analyst Sergey Strokan of Russia's Komersant newspaper says that Berezovsky "probably tried to make a deal with Putin, thinking he could do it in the way it was done in the time of Yeltsin, in the 90s, when politics was done through such behind-the-scenes deals - unofficial understandings - between oligarchs and politicians. But it seems it didn't work because we had not seen Berezovsky come to Russia in recent weeks."
Strokan continued on the subject of Berezvosky's legacy:
"He was one of the most bright and controversial figures in recent Russian history. I think [his] name is a trademark of Russian politics in the 90s, when we had official power of the president and PM and an unofficial power of the 'semi-bankirshina' (referring to bankers - Russian slang)
who were very articulate in Boris Yeltsin's era and were running things in Russia. But this time, luckily, has gone forever." The prolific tycoon was put on Russias wanted list in 2001, around the time he fled the country, on charges of fraud and money-laundering, owing to a scandal involving Aeroflot airlines and an attempted violent power takeover.
In 2007, a Moscow court found him guilty in absentia of stealing 215 billion rubles from Aeroflot and sentenced him to six years behind bars.
The tycoon was given a total of 19 years in prison by a number of Russian courts over various charges. He claimed the cases against him were provoked by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
If Berezovskys death is officially confirmed it may be a reason to cancel all criminal cases against him, Interfax news agency reports citing a source familiar with the situation.
However, the unnamed source said that the investigation into cases against tycoon could remain open if his family wishes. If the investigation and criminal cases are canceled, it is possible the court ordered freeze on his key assets would be lifted, the source said. Interfax, noted that this information cannot be immediately confirmed.
In September 2005, Berezovsky said in an interview with the BBC: "I'm sure that Putin doesn't have the chance to survive, even to the next election in 2008. I am doing everything in my power to limit his time frame, and I am really thinking of returning to Russia after Putin collapses, which he will."[27] In January 2006, Berezovsky stated in an interview to a Moscow-based radio station that he was working on overthrowing the administration of Vladimir Putin by force.[157] Berezovsky has also publicly accused Putin of being "a gangster"[158] and the "terrorist number one".[159]
In Russia, exiles go to England to escape taxes.
In England, rolling stones go on exile to France to escape taxes.
How do you say? KGB?
In this case, to escape a jail sentence or assassination.
He vill finally stop bothering Moose and Squirrel...
>>How do you say? KGB?<<
How do you say "Arkancide" in Russian?
In this case, I think he committed suicide. He was truly a tormented soul.
No, FSB.
Prezactly. And their tactics haven't changed.
hmmm...how much money did he have in Cyprus Bank

In fact, it's a sketch of how Aeroflot funds were allegedly routed through a byzantine network of Russian and foreign companies in countries including Belgium, Cyprus, Germany, Lithuania, Panama, Syria, and Switzerland.
Abramovich v Berezovsky: what have we learned so far?
But these were real people. We paid them salaries.") Others were registered in tax havens around the world Panama, Gibraltar, British Virgin Islands, Cyprus, and other balmy destinations. The company names, too, are mysteriously alluring Hotspur, Octopus (used by Berezovsky), Olivesta (used by Abramovich). Berezovsky says he used these offshore havens not to avoid tax but to stop his assets being stolen. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/nov/07/abramovich-berezovsky
February 27, 2012
Up to this day I did not plan to open Facebook and did not want to live in social nets. Yesterday, on Forgiveness Sunday I decided to repent and wanted to publish in on my blog at the Echo of Moscow. A repentance to the Russian people for the errors that I committed. However, it was denied me.
I see it completely inacceptable that an Orthodox man today in Russia is denied repentance. I have no case against chief editor of Echo of Moscow Aleksey Venediktov, to the contrary, I am grateful to him. He held off to the end, allowing me to keep my blog. Today I use the last independent mass medium in Russia, Facebook. Mark Zukerberg won't be called into the Kremlin and make him sell his social network to Gazprom or else go sit in "Seaman's Silence" (a notorious prison).
Boris Berezovsky
"Turn away from your wicked ways and correct your ways and your deeds" prophesies God through prophet Jeremiah, and so today I, on Forgiveness Sunday, speak to you.
The years of exile allowed me to view differently my life, and the life of my Motherland, and understand clearer that without repentance, without acknowledging of the mistakes of the past, without courage to build future, there is no forward movement. Not for me personally, not for every one of you, not for the country.
I am living a long, colorful life. and on my way, I committed many acts and unavoidable I erred. Wicked acts I committed knowingly and even more of them, not knowing what I did. As it is said in the prayer of penance, "knowingly and not knowingly, by will and against the will". I know that many of my acts are judged by you, the people of Russia, a part of which I am, and in the destiny of which, by God's will, I execute the role allotted to me.
I repent and ask forgiveness for avarice. I thirsted for wealth not thinking how it damaged others. I covered my sin with "the historical moment", "combinations of genius", and "astonishing opportunities", and I forgot of my fellow citizens. The fact that I was not alone doing so, does nto exonerate me.
Forgive me.
I repent and ask forgiveness for the freedom of speech that I stepped on. As I justified myself by my desire to save Russia from the red-brown plague, I, while defining the policy of the chief information megaphone of the country, neglected the democratic values. My actions became the beginning of the destruction of independent journalism. I was nto alone doing that, but this does not exonerate me.
Forgive me.
I repent and ask forgiveness for bringing Vladimir Putin to power. For the fact that I had an obligation, but could not see in him a future avaricious tyrant and usurper, the man who destroyed freedom and who stopped the development of Russia. Many of us did not see him for what he is then, but this does not exonerate me.
Forgive me.
Beyond that, I have nothing to accuse me before Russia.
I understand that repentance is not only a word, but also a deed. And a deed shall follow.

"Russia's self-exiled tycoon"
'several heart attacks over the last week'
Cypress. Makes sense. racketeer+tycoon=Russian racoonski
The Russian blogosphere is filled with putinoids, who get paid from his party coffers, and that is where the ideas of suicide are coming from. A pseudonym intimates of a friend who heard from a BAB's friend how damn depressed he was. Etc., etc. Observe the threat at the end of the last year's Repentance.
Yes, he knew too much.
What are to make of these events and this FB post? If it was even he who opened the medium or wrote the penance?
The EU, Russia, and the Banks of Cyprus...rival mafias making chess moves in the game of life or death.
Suicide? Maybe, or made to look like suicide more likely. Bringing Putin to power? Who helped him, who paid him? The same people that brought Obama to power?
Racketeer, tycoon...world power broker at a level of which few comprehend.
Ten percent shave on a part of his holdings is not something to drive a man who risked lives and fortunes several times, to suicide.
I don't think it is a 10% shave anymore after last night's deal.
Deposits above 100,000 euros in both banks, which are not guaranteed under EU law, will be frozen and used to resolve Laiki's debts and recapitalize Bank of Cyprus through a deposit/equity conversion.
The raid on uninsured Laiki depositors is expected to raise 4.2 billion euros, Eurogroup chairman Jeroen Dijssebloem said.
Ah. I did not know. But again, why would it affect BAB to such a devastating effect? He had no reason to be afraid of hostility from the EU and US, and he had assets on the ground right in London.
It appears that it's the world banking system that committed suicide last night.
I agree with this statement. Men of his type are not sensitive, and are not shrinking violets, who go out at the first knock. Also, he would have had other holdings - unofficial assets - tucked away safely, where no court order could touch them. People of his sort always do.
In the last 24 hours people who knew him have spoken out and say they are sure it was not suicide. The way that the police have blocked off the house, and refuse to give a clear cause of death, is likewise suspicious.
In the meanwhile, I read a bit more of the Russian blogs and came across this observation (by one Anglophobe nut called Galkovsky): Putin has no interest in eliminating Berezovsky as the latter, with his rapidly dwindling assets and influence pretty much has eliminated himself. And Putin has no need to reinforce his thuggish image with another alleged murder.
So then he goes into the Anglophobe territory and suggests the House of Windsor doing the hit... because, ... well it becomes muddy at this point in Galkovsky's thinking, but BAB was indeed known for a rather creative scheme to put Prince Harry on the yet to be crated Russian throne. Which I would endorse except prince Harry doesn't seem to deserve such punishment. Look for the bony hand of Prince Michael of Kent behind this. Look.

TUPELO – Tupelo High School students will be able to earn college credit next year without leaving the Cliff Gookin Boulevard campus.
Officials from the Tupelo Public School District and Itawamba Community College announced during a Tuesday morning press conference they had reached an agreement on a dual credit/dual enrollment program. That means THS students who choose to participate will be able to take classes at the school that will count for both college and high school credit.
"The idea a student at Tupelo High School can graduate and be a college sophomore is phenomenal," said Tupelo Superintendent Gearl Loden, who approached ICC about the partnership.
To enroll, participants must be juniors or seniors with a 2.5 GPA and a minimum of 16 on the ACT. Classes will be offered two days a week and will cost $100 each. That amount includes the cost of the textbook, and the application fee is waived.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for students," said THS Principal Jason Harris.
To be classified as college sophomores, students would need to earn 24 hours.
A likely path would be for students to take one course during each semester of their junior year and two during each semester of their senior year. They could take additional summer and online courses. Most courses will carry three hours of college credit, and credits can be transferred to other institutions.
"We are excited today to be partnering with Tupelo High School," said incoming ICC President Mike Eaton. "We think it is a win-win for both sides."
Eaton said it made sense for the college to start this program with THS because of its size and location. He said ICC is in conversations about possibly expanding it to other school districts.
Classes will be taught by Tupelo teachers certified to teach college classes, by ICC instructors and online. Some students also may be able to take courses via video conferences.
Officials are still determining which classes will be offered. The district has a survey on its website, www.tupeloschools.com, to gauge interest. Letters were sent to THS parents last week.
Students can also talk to their counselors about their interest.
"Students are able to learn the rigors of college work early and able to adjust their study habits to college and be ready for the whole college experience," said THS counselor Manessa Hadley.

Sounds like the nuts are about tight enough. You sure don't want to overdo it and break the toilet. Just cut the bolts off above the nut. You don't have to get too finite, the cap will cover a fair amount. After a few days use, check the tightness again because the toilet will likely seat a little more into the ring.

Munster have named hooker Mike Sherry as captain for their RaboDirect PRO12 meeting with the Scarlets in Llanelli on Saturday.
Munster have named hooker Mike Sherry as captain for their PRO12 clash at the Scarlets on Saturday.
The 24-year-old becomes one of the youngest players to lead the side following on from Peter O'Mahony who led the side during 2011/2012.
Sherry, who agreed a new two-year contract last month, starts in Parc y Scarlets ahead of Damien Varley, who also has just penned a deal that keeps him in Munster for the next two seasons.
There are changes aplenty in the Munster side with internationals Donncha O'Callaghan and Ronan O'Gara included and that means a switch to full back for Ian Keatley, a position he occupied before this season against Dragons and Racing.
Meanwhile, the Scarlets welcome back two of their Welsh internationals for the clash with Liam Williams and Josh Turnbull returning home for Saturday evening's fixture at Parc y Scarlets.
The Scarlets go into their contest against Irish province Munster having won both of their last games at home, over Leicester in the LV= Cup and Connacht in the PRO12 last weekend.
Scarlets head coach Simon Easterby has rewarded recent strong performances and puts faith in the young half back partnership of Owen Williams at outside half and Aled Davies at nine – both of whom get starting jerseys on Saturday.
There are just three changes to the winning team that started against Connacht, with back three international Liam Williams returning to the wing; fully fit Gareth Maule comes back to centre and South African tight head prop Adriaanse returns to the starting line-up.
Form: Scarlets have won their last two fixtures at Parc y Scarlets, over Leicester in the Anglo-Welsh Cup and Connacht in the RaboDirect PRO12. Munster have won five of their last six contests in all competitions. The Munstermen have won their last two away games in the RaboDirect PRO12, but have not won three in a row on the road in the same season in the tournament since 2010/11. Scarlets beat Munster 13-6 at Musgrave Park in round nine, and have not completed a league double over the Munstermen since 2003/04.
The teams:
Scarlets: 15 Gareth Owen, 14 Liam Williams, 13 Gareth Maule, 12 Adam Warren, 11 Andy Fenby, 10 Owen Williams, 9 Aled Davies. 8 Kieran Murphy, 7 Josh Turnbull, 6 Rob McCusker (capt), 5 Johan Synman, 4 George Earle, 3 Jacobie Adriaanse, 2 Emyr Phillips, 1 Phil John.
Replacements: 16 Kirby Myhill, 17 Rhodri Jones, 18 Samson Lee, 19 Jake Ball, 20 Johnathan Edwards, 21 Gareth Davies, 22 Aled Thomas 23 Nick Reynolds.
Munster: 15 Ian Keatley, 14 Denis Hurley, 13 Ivan Dineen, 12 JJ Hanrahan, 11 Johne Murphy, 10 Ronan O'Gara, 9 Duncan Williams, 8 Paddy Butler, 7 Tommy O'Donnell, 6 CJ Stander, 5 Ian Nagle, 4 Donncha O'Callaghan, 3 BJ Botha 2 Mike Sherry, 1 Wian du Preez.
Replacements: 16 Damien Varley, 17 John Ryan, 18 Stephen Archer, 19 Billy Holland, 20 Sean Dougall, 21 Cathal Sheridan, 22 Danny Barnes, 23 Casey Laulala.
Date: Saturday, February 16
Kick-off: 18:30
Venue: Parc y Scarlets
Referee: Dudley Phillips (Ireland)
Assistant referees: Neil Hennessy (Wales), Simon Rees (Wales)
Television match official: Gareth Simmonds (Wales)

The gold medal game, with the Olympic spot on the line, between Cuba and the Dominican Republic was held later Saturday.

"It was a good performance from both teams and I am really proud of my team," Canada's coach Arnd Ludwig said. "Puerto Rico played a little better than us at the end."

Lake Proctor is characterized by acres of standing timber and willow trees in the upper end. When the water level is high, there are many more acres of black willow trees and buttonbush. Some areas present rocky cover and structure. In 2016, TPWD worked with local partner organizations to install brush piles and artificial reefs to provide additional cover for fish. Anglers may use GPS in conjunction with a fish finder to locate these structures. See online fish attractor map | Get downloadable file
Tips & Tactics
Trolling striper jigs and drift fishing live shad in the lower end of the reservoir works well. Keep an eye out for surface activity. Following the birds will often key in on schools of shad and hybrids. Crappie and catfish fishing can be very good at the spillway. Flipping plastic worms and jigs is probably the most effective technique for largemouth bass.

What The "Gremlins" PS2 Video Game Would Have Looked Like
The video game designers at Light and Shadow Productions were working on "Gremlins" for both the PlayStation2 and GameCube consoles back in 2001. Unfortunately Gizmo's game went caca, and all we've got left to show for it are some screen caps and video of the development. Check it.

How did Boyer's, a medium-sized coffee company based in Denver, reduce its waste disposal by 97 percent over 5 years, keeping a projected 70 tons out of the landfill and in the process save $250,000 annually?
Boyer's is a great example of the new economy. A economy where all of the "waste" produced is actually an asset when used in the right place. Boyer's Coffee is delivered in burlap sacks. These sacks are not recyclable but they are a great resource for gardeners and arborists. Farmers will pick them up for no extra charge to use them as weed barriers, to wrap the root ball of trees for transportation and to carry soil and compost. Ecologic Designs, a company based in Boulder, also makes tote bags and donates a portion of the proceeds to the Children's Miracle network.
Over 2 tons of chaff comes off their beans each year. This chaff is great for farmers as a mulch since it is so high in nitrogen. It also can be used to make wood pellets for starting stoves.
The foil that their roasted coffee is bagged in cannot be recycled. A company called ITW, a manufacturer of a products that provide rigidity and protection in the packaging of products, can use this packaging and picks it up free of charge.
By finding the right partners, Boyer's was able to create value and reduce waste disposal expenses by $2,000 a year. How did Boyers go from saving $24,000 a year to saving $250,000 a year?
Through this conscientious thought process, it began to look at its packaging. The name of the blend was printed directly on the bag. Every time a new blend or flavor was being packaged, 12-15 bags could no longer be used. Instead of printing directly on the bag, Boyer's started printing out stickers to be put on the bags.
Not only did this save in materials, it also saved in labor and overhead to not have to switch bags each time. Boyer's began stocking only the films it used every day, which greatly simplified the bagging process, reducing time and labor while also reducing carrying costs by $200,000.
The boxes that were being delivered to Walmart and Sam's Club were not allowed to leave once they were delivered. Boyer's met with Walmart and Sam's Club to change this policy. Each box now is used five or six times, saving about $50,000 annually. Boyer's is looking to go even further with this initiative and invest in corrugated plastic, which can be reused 300 times, saving an additional $50,000 annually.
Boyer's has reduced its solid waste by more than 97 percent and saved more than 400 tons of CO2. Its employees have been open to these programs and all have their eyes open on ways to save on waste. By keeping waste out of the landfill, Boyer's is reducing manufacturing and natural resource destruction by allowing its partners to reuse materials for their businesses. Boyer's demonstrates that a more thoughtful use of resources can save money, too.

After taking this course, I have a much better idea of what people learn in an MBA program. I can make a better decision about whether I should apply for business school.
I found the course most informative and beneficial to me. I came away with answers to questions I have had for a long time with regard to Business Statistical and Modeling analysis.
I have enjoyed this class; very informative. The class gave me the opportunity to see another side of the business world and see all that analysts do to come up with solutions.
I have no background in business analysis, and this course provided a basic foundation. If I decided to pursue business analysis in more depth, I will at least have been exposed to important concepts and definitions. I will actually be able to apply some of the material directly in my job. Thank you.
The course was relevant and useful in my current position - and enabled me to use the information learned during the course to make real world decisions.
The instructor was thorough, had interesting real world and relevant examples and one could not help but gain some valuable and helpful knowledge.
This course is very usefull to any individual in making business decisions. I also decided to continue my study of Management Science.
This course provided some valuable information that I can use on a daily basis. The instructor's writing style is very easy to comprehend and follow. Thanks for a great experience.
You do an outstanding job of covering the information -- your communication on the topic is just simple enough but just complex enough to bridge the "What?" and the "Why?" and the "How?" of this topic within a 12-lesson span. Thank you!
You make things simple enough for the non-business person, yet challenging enough to feel stimulated. I've already started implementing some concepts into my current job and my boss has taken notice of the different perspective I've developed thanks to your courses!

Gregor asked your ol' pal Wanye to handle the GDB today on account of the fact he is "handing out hampers to less fortunate Edmonton families today." If there is ever a reason to bang out a 400 word article for a guy in a pinch, this has to be it.
But be forewarned we aren't in any mood to objectively look at this Oilers squadron and find a way to suggest they are going to win.
Nor are we in a mood to serve up another triple helping of negativity. We have had our fill of that too of late.
And so we will take a third approach to this GDB. We try and take the temperature of our fellow Oilers fans to see where all of our heads are at on the 32nd game of the year.
On the one hand we are living in a world where three Oilers are in the top 30 in scoring in the NHL. The last time this happened we were enrolled in elementary school, Jason Gregor had a full head of hair and Rexall Place was considered a state-of-the-art facility capable of hosting Oilers hockey well into the next century.
3 guys in the top 30? Two of them are under 22? There is another Super Sophmore that isn't on the list because he was hurt?
Some folks will tell you that this is more than enough joy for a team that is coming off back to back last place seasons in the NHL. "Rome wasn't built in a day" they will say, looking to the distant horizon - presumably dreaming about Rome.
For the glass is half full camp, there is nothing to be concerned about here. Nothing - not even another season on the outside looking in at the playoffs - can reverse the progress made or diminish the potential of this team in the next decade.
Even those who count themselves among the pessimistic group of Oilers fans are in far better shape than they were a couple of years ago. We aren't exactly trying to pretend that Patrick O'Sullivan will be a servicable NHL player for years to come anymore.
You can't find a fan or critic anywhere that will try and diminish the impact Jordan Eberle, Taylor Hall and MC NUUUUUUUGE have already had on the NHL and most won't even try and put a wet blanket on what they are capable of doing in their careers.
No, for the Glass is half empty crowd it is precisely because the Oilers are laden with this impossible bounty of freshly minted talent that this season is so frustrating. "How can you go from first to worst in such fashion? Where are the veteran leaders paid to guide these sophmores and rookies through the turbulent waters of an NHL season? Why are the Captains and Assistants sitting around waiting for the Kids to do something on most nights?"
Make no mistake - Daryl "Kay-Z" Katz is going to need a winner to sell out this new building due to arrive in 2023. Say what you want about the silent owner, he didn't become a Billionaire by overpaying under delivering staff along the way.Sooner or later something will give if things don't improve.
You can bet on it.
It is impossible to predict the future. Unless you are the people who made the video above back in the 1960s. At that point it seems it was entirely possible to predict the future with stunning accuracy.
What if this isn't simply a losing streak? What if the Oilers miss the playoffs for the sixth year in a row? Can Steve Tambellini really expect long term employment when his team will have failed so miserably under his watch?
Can his phasers be permanently set to "assessing" before someone is going to ask what he is doing exactly to earn his paycheque? How many years in a row can he ignore the pressing need to improve in size and grit on both the front and back ends?
Are third and fourth defensemen so hard to find that we can't hope to bring another one in to Edmonton in any reasonable timeline? Is Ales Hemsky going be left to rot on the vine until he has injury-plagued his disinterest into half of the market value he was worth a few years ago?
What will become of our favourite NHL Ice Hockey Squadron?
The Oilers finally tweeted their lineup a few minutes ago:
No D pairings have been tweeted and if the starting goalie has been announced we haven't seen it.
How's that for some inside information?
December 17 2011, 01:48PM
Stop bawling, you cupcake. I was just d*cking with you. Sharkies win 3-2
December 17 2011, 01:54PM
So there is one line that has people on it known to win their share of faceoffs. Three that don't.
What can possibly go wrong?
December 17 2011, 02:06PM
You know what would be awesome? If Wanye editted that Brownlee comment into an also: fist. He has that kind of childish power abuse in him right?
And good call Halfwise. Whats the over/under on our faceoff win percentage tonight?
December 17 2011, 02:13PM
can the team not hire some form of faceoff coach. ex. oates, perrault, peca
December 17 2011, 02:17PM
Eager and Hordi...
oh my...
is this the first game they played together?
I pray that they are the line that will make the opposing line regret puck possession.
December 17 2011, 02:26PM
Explain to me why Belanger continues to be on the 3rd line. The only game he's looked reasonably effective was last game and that was because he had Smyrh and Jones as wingers...except he didn't cash on any of his good chances.
Stick him on the 4th with 57 & 16 and move 55 onto the 3rd line and get him involved. He can still pk but has been a black hole offensively.
Eager looked pretty p.o.'d in Phoenix with how he was being used. When he was up on the 3rd he got involved and scored. Now he's going to get 8 mins with Hordi, that'll really perk him up
December 17 2011, 02:29PM
Oilers finally get excited to play a game after playing losers like CGY and PHX. Oilers win 4-2, Samuel Gagner gets a point and NUUUUUGE fights Thornton and Marleau at the same time, winning by dual KO.
December 17 2011, 02:40PM
A breath of fresh air compared to last Saturdays GDB....well done sir, can't think of one mean thing to say.
...cept, Flames bite.
December 17 2011, 02:40PM
How about we play our best face off man on the wing? Sure that's a great idea.
December 17 2011, 02:49PM
ummm, those lines will last for the first period, then the Render will take over, and Horcawful will be playing the middle.
GDP: Lander scores a shorty and a greasy one from the goal line in the 1st 20. Oilers win 2-0 with the bruised and beaten carcass of NK getting the W.
OGDP: Sharks will win 82% of the faceoffs while Horcoff is playing on the wing on the 3rd line.
NSOGDP: Gagner will get offered a special discount price on McGinn's Princess Dress that was advertised on the Shark's Holiday Shopping Channel. He will happily accept take this...
This linup actually makes sense to me.A little grit on each line and Gagner back to center. As to faceoffs Nuge is learning, up to 39% now and considering first 10 games at 20% he must be close to breaking even most nights
Will it help, probably not as our defence is still a mess
December 17 2011, 03:41PM
Nice job Wanye! Keep an eye on your front door. Maybe if you're on Gregor's hamper route he'll leave you an Eberle bobblehead for your Christmas present.
Also, what's the over/under on Hemsky's "lost pucks just inside the opposing blueline" stat tonight?
@Wolf Cola
Fwiw they already employe suitcase one of the best that ever was. Ironically
December 17 2011, 03:45PM
I am kinda thinking if they keep giving the kind of efforts they have the past couple of games, one would have to wonder how long Mr. Renney will be employed. Don't get me wrong I think this is an exciting team to watch when they are going, and they are going to win a cup in the next few years, but those lack of effort games are tuff to take.
December 17 2011, 03:47PM
Gregor has NEVER had a full head of hair.
I'd almost bet my kidney on it.
Oil 3 Sharks 2
December 17 2011, 03:50PM
"Can Steve Tambellini really expect long term employment when his team..?
Here is an answer about "his" team:
LEADERSHIP! What did people like Bowman, Sather, Arbour, even Keenan had in common (successes notwithstanding)!
They were the kind of MEN who COMMANDED attention!
They did not manage and coach by committee! Their teams were THEIR teams, win, lose or draw!
That is not to say that they did not work well with others in their organizations. But the teams were THEIR teams! Their players were THEIR players. They enjoyed their players' respect (and a little bit of fear)....
The Oilers management of today are more like a committee of little bureaucrats of individuals hiding behind the "organization"... Mr. GM is conferring with Mr. President, who is conferring with Mr. Coach who is conferring with the Assistant Coaches and Mr. GM who is again conferring with Mr..... and so on.
There is no PERSONALITY who LEADS this organization off the ice and that has come to be the norm ON the ice too!
I can see the fire in little Hall's eyes (something like the Messier days) the intelligence in RNH's play... I doubt that any of them will be even inspired to assume leadership roles on the ice - even when they are ready!
It takes VERY STRONG spine for a man to step forward and say this is MY team - and take the responsibility for it!
The kind of spine that NO-ONE in the current management team has.... (Sorry Kevin, you are a great guy but you are no leader like Mark was).
Bowman and Sather were never "politically correct" people! They were LEADERS! You looked in their eyes and you were almost terrified of what they would do if you did not DO what they asked you to!
These were MEN!
Mr. Renney reminds me of a meek bookkeeper of the movies any time a look at him, Mr. Tambellini always sounds like the spineless politician he should be and trying to always say the right thing so his "chair" and salary is not in danger...
Gentlemen, go home! I regret to say that you are not fit to lead anything, not even the little "battles" these kids on the ice need to always win so that you can keep collecting salaries! You can not inspire them! Keep hiding behind the "re-building" process!
You should resign out of embarrassment.
But I forget: Only real leaders have pride!
December 17 2011, 03:55PM
belanger would look good in the Rangers lineup on the 3rd line. Here he is nothing more than a statistics nightmare. He has no offensive mojo but can win a drw and kill penalties like no ones buisness. He is a 3 year impediment to someone elses career. Maybe Tambo needs to assess what he has gotten from him,Eager and Barker. let me sum it up.Bupkiss
Nice article, except I made the mistake of clicking the ... Music ... Now my ears won't stop bleeding. Is the point that the Oilers are playing as bad as that song?
December 17 2011, 04:12PM
Look at that Bryan Murray go...
He put his mind to getting something done (Kyle Turris) and he actually went out and did it. Where's our GM when the chips are down?

4-1 Sharks, prove me wrong boys!
December 17 2011, 04:37PM
Jacques Martin hockey officially comes to an end in Montreal.
The question remains: how many days till New Jersey hires him?
Its on Hockey Night In Canada.. They're going to lay another stinkbomb..
That is unless the Sharks don't show up, but its in their barn, so I don't think that will happen..
December 17 2011, 04:51PM
"I pray that they are the line that will make the opposing line regret puck possession."
My guess, given how often 55 and 16 won't have the rubber, is they'll have plenty of opportunity to try.
Why would you want Turris?
Milbury makes deals for the sake of making one, good GMs make a deal cause it makes their team better....
I Don't think Moneypuck wants stumbellini to trade for Turris, he wants someone with a heartbeat to do something other than mumble, stammer, stutter and pretend that they are running the team with best intentions.
December 17 2011, 05:01PM
Look at that Bryan Murray go...

Right you are Ravo.
Try and atleast make a difference when they go to work everyday. Where's the pride, where's the direction. This decision by committee method of running a hockey club is epic fail.
December 17 2011, 05:22PM
"I pray that they are the line that will make the opposing line regret puck possession."
My guess, given how often 55 and 16 won't have the rubber, is they'll have plenty of opportunity to try.
That's assuming they aren't stapled to the bench after the first period.
December 17 2011, 06:33PM
Horcoff and Gagher RULE, on the wings and at centre. So versatile, I hate to think where we would be without them, or with someone else in their many roles. Ouch.!..
December 17 2011, 06:38PM
Sweet Jeebus... you're MIA for a few days on the road and the Oil do their best to go Tits Up and the Nation is trying to sap my will with boobs everywhere! It's like a painting where the eyes follow you around, no matter if I scroll up or down... there they are!
It's amazing but after careful scrutiny, it would appear she is holding a burger or something. Excellent cropping job! and an excellent Crop Top!
December 17 2011, 06:42PM
@Romulus' Apotheosis
If I reduce the width of the window, I can actually focus on the text. Helpful hint!
December 17 2011, 06:46PM
Ok hockey.
Van and Toronto welcome us all down to the mediocrity plaza for a sad looking slice of pizza and a knock-off soda.
The Oil rise to the occasion of sterner competition and Gagner proves the wisdom of being picked ahead of Couture by scoring 2 and a helper. RNH has a panic attack in the 2nd intermission when visited by the ghost of Mike Ricci. Hordy shows his teeth and saves the day by scaring off Mike Ricci's ghost and gives RNH a fatherly pat on the head. Oilers win 4-2!
Game Day Prediction: Oilers start a six game winning streak tonight with a 2-1 win in San Jose.
Obvious Game Day Prediction:It's HNIC... The Nuge will be great.
Not-So-Obvious Game Day Prediction: Ryan Jones will talk smack all night long to big Joe Thorton; particularly during the PK. Joe will finally punch Jones right in the mouth after a blue paint battle and Kevin Weeks will butcher an otherwise brilliant rhyme line handed to him by his producer about Big Joe and The Flow.

I'd like to see Omark doing that...

What is up with SJ? They look awful. No disrespect to the Oilers, but SJ is really playing bad, which is giving Edmonton a very good chance in this one.

Cable, powered by HBO and Showtime, wins the majority of television nominations.
Cable television continues to be the darling of the Golden Globes.
Led by a dominant HBO, cable productions racked up 35 nominations at today's announcement of contenders for the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards in January. By comparison, the Big 4 broadcast networks and PBS tallied 19. DirecTV had one nomination.
NOMINEES LIST: See which movies, shows and stars are up for Globes
Last year's drama and comedy/musical series winners, Showtime's Homeland and ABC's Modern Family, respectively, were nominated again in those categories.
HBO, powered by 10 nominations for its films, scored 17 nominations, 10 more than the second-place finisher, fellow pay-cable network Showtime.
The HBO film Game Change topped all TV series, miniseries and movies with five nominations, followed by the top series nominee, Homeland, with four. Modern Family, PBS' Downton Abbey: Season 2 and the HBO film The Girl tallied three nominations.
New shows had a tougher time cracking the top series categories than they did last year. HBO's Girls and NBC's Smash made the cut in the comedy/musical field and HBO's The Newsroom was named a top drama nominee. Another new series, ABC's Nashville, picked up acting nominations for Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere.
The USA miniseries Political Animals, which will not return, received two nominations, one for best miniseries/TV movie and the other an acting nod for Sigourney Weaver.
Past winner Mad Men was a notable absentee in the drama series category. Jon Hamm, who plays Don Draper, received the much-honored AMC series' lone nomination.
2012 acting winners Claire Danes of Homeland and Matt LeBlanc of Showtime's Episodes will have a chance to repeat, but two other winners in the lead acting categories, Kelsey Grammer of Starz's Boss and Laura Dern of HBO's Enlightened, were not nominated. Enlightened doesn't begin its second season until January.
Former Globe winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus, a nominee for HBO's Veep, says the creative freedom of cable may have something to do with its strong showing in the nominations.
"I have great affection for network television. I've spent years doing network television, but having said that, now that I'm working on cable and for HBO specifically, from a creative point of view, there's great license. As an actress and as a producer on the show, it's a tremendous luxury and I'm very grateful for it," she says. "You can't believe that you have the license that you do and I sort of pinch myself about it. They're very supportive from a creative point of view. We've had weeks and weeks and weeks of rehearsal for the show. Just that alone speaks to the level of respect they have for the process."
The Globes don't have the same importance for television that they do for motion pictures, where nominations can be a precursor to Oscar recognition. However, they can have value beyond the honor itself, bringing attention -- and the possibility of additional viewers -- to a show.
First-time nominee Britton hopes Nashville can benefit from the recognition she and Panettiere have received.
"I'm no stranger to being on shows that are critically acclaimed but are not necessarily doing as well in the ratings as the network hopes," says the actress, an Emmy nominee for Friday Night Lights. "The thing that's wonderful about these awards besides the pure honor of it is that it does create awareness for the show. So, it will be interesting to see if maybe more (viewers) become aware of the show and really put it in a position that will help the network keep it on the air."

Poison Princess (Arcana Chronicles #1)
- Brief Synopsis:
- In the aftermath of a cataclysmic event, sixteen-year-old Evie, from a well-to-do Louisiana family, learns that her terrible visions are actually prophecies and that there are others like herself--embodiments of Tarot cards destined to engage in an epic battle.
- Long Synopsis:
- #1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole introduces The Arcana Chronicles, post-apocalyptic tales filled with riveting action, the dark mysticism of Tarot cards, and breathtaking romance. She could save the world--or destroy it. Sixteen year old Evangeline "Evie" Greene leads a charmed life, until she begins experiencing horrifying hallucinations. When an apocalyptic event decimates her Louisiana hometown, Evie realizes her hallucinations were actually visions of the future--and they're still happening. Fighting for her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate: Jack Deveaux. But she can't do either alone.With his mile-long rap sheet, wicked grin, and bad attitude, Jack is like no boy Evie has ever known. Even though he once scorned her and everything she represented, he agrees to protect Evie on her quest. She knows she can't totally depend on Jack. If he ever cast that wicked grin her way, could she possibly resist him? Who can Evie trust? As Jack and Evie race to find the source of her visions, they meet others who have gotten the same call. An ancient prophesy is being played out, and Evie is not the only one with special powers. A group of twenty-two teens has been chosen to reenact the ultimate battle between good and evil. But it's not always clear who is on which side....

"When a person drives and they are a teenager - clear up until their 34th birthday - the most common way they're going to die is in their car. It's very important that we target that audience first," said Sgt. Sheldon Lyon from the Missouri Highway Patrol.
Ad campaigns, presentations, and websites have popped up nationwide to join the fight against what has become a deadly problem.
"It's an unsafe activity for anybody behind the wheel, no matter what the age," Lyon said.
It's not just young people sharing this trend.
Earlier this year, Missouri lawmakers approved legislation prohibiting professional drivers from using cell phones while in their trucks.
To comply with this new law (and likely to simply keep their drivers and those around them safe), trucking companies like R&W Tow and Recovery in St. Joseph have new rules for their employees.
Rick Kamler, president of R&W, has provided his drivers with Bluetooth devices for hands-free use of their cell phones.
He knows using a phone is sometimes an integral part of the tow truck business, but recognizes the need for laws limiting their use in the trucks.
"Even using a phone on a Bluetooth is still a distraction. So you have to be so careful with it. I still require my guys to do it when they're not moving," Kamler said. "If they finish a job and drop a vehicle, I'd prefer that they'd call before they ever move. Texting? Absolutely not. Not in my trucks."
For anyone that has a texting problem, there is a pledge, sponsored by AT&T.
By going to their special webpage, one can pledge never to think about texting while behind the wheel, and publish the pledge on social media.
Those on the front lines of this fight say it's a small step in the right direction.
"We find out that if we can educate children, teach youngsters before they're adults, they'll take those habits into adulthood, and that's what we're hoping," Sgt. Lyon said.

As a teenager, summer time is supposed to mean hanging out with friends, getting a good sun tan and late nights without many cares.
Lindsey Murray's summer sort of resembles that mantra. The Harrisburg High School senior to be is a modern day energizer bunny with her non-stop schedule that includes time with friends, whether it be on the basketball court or at a speech camp. Her afternoon track sessions give her a desired sun burn, while she spends her nights in a kiddie pool filled with ice to recover from her day.
The pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for Murray will come in the form of next Friday's USA Junior Olympics at North Carolina A&T University in Greensboro.
Murray qualified for the event — only one of two from southern Illinois — by clearing 11-feet-9 in the pole vault.
Off the heels of a fourth place finish at the Illinois High School Athletic Association State Track & Field meet in Charleston where she jumped 11-foot-6, Murray says her mindset is really no different now than it was then.
"Are the stakes a little bit higher? I don't know." Murray said. "No matter what kind of competition it is, I always try to do better."
Heading into next week's USA Jr. Olympics, Murray set a new personal record with a jump of 12-foot-4 at the Bell Camp in Arkansas.
For Murray the increased seven inches for her PR is a sign that things are starting to fall into place.
"I think if I start getting stuff straight I can be there," Murray added. "That's the hard part. If you want to be good, you have to put time into it. I'm having fun, I'm just doing it in my own way."
Murray's day will include a few hours of weight lifting, followed by an hour-plus of vaulting and an hour of drills nearly every day.
It's the sacrifice and dedication Murray knows in the end will be all worth it.
"I honestly never thought I would have gotten this far," she said. "but for me, all I've ever wanted is to just do better than I did the last time."
Murray has made herself a nice home at Taylor Field in preparation for North Carolina in recent weeks. The added PR in Arkansas was a big confidence booster.
"If one thing is holding me back, it's getting upside down," Murray said. "I'm still not there yet, but I'm getting closer. I'm starting to shoot up more and even that's not close to decent, but it's getting there."
In anticipation of her trip to North Carolina, local area business have pitched to help out Murray with expenses like Dream Baskets and Jim Hayes. Recently, the Sons of American Legion presented Murray with a check.
Page 2 of 2 - The support Murray has received from the community isn't just a blessing to her, but to her family as well, who will also be making the trip.
"Bascially all of Harrisburg has been behind me, supporting me," Murray said. "Even people I don't know, they might even know me and have just heard about the event. "More so, my family has done so much. They've done everything and do everything in the world for me. I feel very blessed."

"the closest i can come to a swimming in frigid maine water story re: fort foster in kittery. it's rocky and smells and my daughter freaks when we go there."
This sea salt is from way up near New Brunswick, and smells like delicious. Your daughter may indeed freak out, from joy, when she tastes popcorn with apple smoked salt. Sarah, send me your mailing address asap!
I chose the winner by writing all the participants' names on sticky notes and then pulling one out of a hat. This seemed more official to me than random number generator. (I just couldn't stop hitting that generate button. Trying to predict which of 53 numbers will randomly appear is endlessly fascinating.)
I ran out of time to cook today before it got too dark for pictures, so I'll use one of my Get Out of a MoFo Post Free cards and direct you to something I published elsewhere. My local city magazine, the Bangor Metro, featured me in their October Food File. You can read the article here. In the print edition, there was also a nice sidebar with vegan meal ideas for dinner parties. A recipe for Smokey Black Bean Stew with Winter Squash accompanied the article. It's not online, so I'm going to reprint it here. A slow-cooked stew with cinnamon, cocoa, and dried chili peppers, it's perfect for an autumn weekend.
Smokey Black Bean Stew with Winter Squash2 cups dried black beans
2 cups vegetable broth
14-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
2 dried jalapeño chilies (remove seeds to reduce heat)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cinnamon sticks (or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon)
12 ounces dark ale or water
Soak beans overnight, for a minimum of 8 hours.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring broth, tomatoes and liquid, and jalapeños to a low boil. Simmer for 20 minutes. Purée in a blender or food processor and set aside. Drain and rinse black beans.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic 5-7 minutes, until lightly browned. Add cumin, cocoa powder, and cinnamon, and stir for 1 minute. Add beans, tomato mixture, and beer. Add water if more liquid is needed to cover beans.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Simmer gently for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally, until beans are soft. Add more water if beans become dry.
To serve, scoop into roasted acorn squash halves.
Serves 6.
Roasted Acorn Squash3 acorn squash
olive oil
brown sugar (optional)
Heat oven to 400°F. Cut squash in half and remove seeds. Brush with oil and rub, sparingly, with brown sugar (if desired). Place on a large baking sheet, cut side up, and roast for 40-60 minutes, until tender.

My heart was nearly broken last winter when the Barking Cat Cafe, Christopher's pub, New Moon Cafe, and Giacomo's Groceria all closed within a month of each other. Suddenly downtown Bangor was devoid of any class. All we had left were two Irish bars, one for old people and the other brimming with loud, stumbling college kids. Proximity to shops and cafes had been the only reason to live downtown, so I was ready to pack up and move to the 'burbs. I would get a barbeque and learn to garden.
Christopher's is still vacant, and the vegan brunch void created by Barking Cat's closure has yet to be filled. Fortunately, New Moon reopened under a different name, and today, Giacomo's 2.0 was unveiled. It's no longer a groceria, but an Italian-style cafe, advertising panini, wine, and espresso.
Though it's not on the chalkboard, the cashier assured me I can still get my soy chai. There are a few grocery items for sale, including Little Lad's Herbal Corn and Artisan Brick Oven bread. I'd love to see a selection of pasta, sauces, and olive oil reappear.
There have been some changes to the menu, and though Giacomo's doesn't offer any vegan sandwiches, there are now more vegetarian choices. I can't have been the only customer requesting meat-free options; it's nice to see the owners have responded. I ordered (and mispronounced) the new greca, deliciously salty roasted eggplant, red peppers, red onion, and basil on a nutty whole grain ciabatta bread (hold the mozzarella).
It's a more subdued alternative to the unruly vegetable antipasto, a tangy, sloppy sandwich with kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, romaine, and tomato on rosemary focaccia. So far, so good, but let it be known that the chickpea salad and stuffed grape leaves must come back to the deli case. A freezer full of locally-made ice cream will show up soon for the summer, and I'm hoping for Gifford's raspberry sorbet.
My husband ordered the new tre formaggi, a fancy grilled cheese on ciabatta. It's not vegan, but I love the photo. Look how he eats around the perimeter of the sandwich, like a raccoon:
Though I'll miss the original Groceria, it's nice to have my downtown caffeine and lunch spot back in its new, streamlined form. Nowhere in Bangor sells better coffee, and you can't beat employees who learn your name, ask about your pets, and remember which blend of coffee you like.
Welcome back, Giacomo's!

Great Fit, Lousy Finish
"These boots fit me perfectly. However, the finish on this pair of boots made them look as if they had been worn hard for a year or so. There were scrapes in the leather on the calves, and the leather was very floppy. The floppy leather made the boots difficult to pull on. Once on, they were comfortable. The boots were just too expensive for very worn floppy leather. I know the boots hadn't been worn because the soles were unmarred. I will be returning these boots."

Extreme Sports and Extreme Diabetes Management
Being active and staying fit is important in anyones life, but especially for those of us living with diabetes. Keeping blood sugars well managed during a regular workout can take some planning, but what about if youre planning on climbing a mountain? Or snowboarding down one? Tackling extreme sports and keeping diabetes in check can be a challenge, but thankfully there are people we can turn to for advice on what to do.
Delaine Wright, MS, RCEP, CDE is an ACSM Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist and Certified Diabetes Educator. She has also lived with type 1 diabetes since 1983 and is a Director and Online Coach at Fit4D, so she knows her stuff. Delaine took some time to talk with me about exercise and diabetes, shedding some light on this complicated topic.
Kerri: As a trainer and a person with type 1 diabetes, how do you engage in a rigorous workout while managing diabetes? When it comes to challenging your body physically, what's the best advice you've been given? And what's the best advice you would give?
Delaine: You can do anything you want with diabetes and DESPITE diabetes, as long as you put your mind and muscle to it. That means understanding how your blood sugars respond to that activity via lots of testing and patterning, and knowing what you need (food/fuel and glucose-wise) to keep you safe and performing optimally. Success may involve adjusting insulin dosages (with the support of your healthcare team) or food intake - or both. Diabetes simply becomes a part of the training process for any rigorous activity or sport. I am a fan of understanding and then attempting to mimic what the normal pancreas would do during any particular activity. It is an amazing learning experience and it certainly makes you appreciate the normal working glucose-balancing system.
Kerri: Do you have any advice on keeping numbers stable while doing extreme sports? How do you prepare for an intense workout?
Delaine: Extreme athletes progressively train and practice their sport or skills on a regular basis. For the diabetic athlete, training also means monitoring and adjusting blood sugars during that training. Just as the endurance athlete wouldn't want to try new shoes or new foods the day of the event, the athlete will diabetes will want to have an excellent understanding of (and have practiced) blood sugar control during their sport training sessions, minimizing as many variable as possible just prior to the exercise, For example, if you are engaging in endurance exercises: minimizing heavy carbs loads and large boluses of insulin just prior to starting exercise and choosing instead to provide carb/fuel in smaller amounts but more frequently throughout the exercise, can help to stabilize blood sugars, or at least avoid the spikes and crashes.
Kerri: What kinds of foods do you eat while working out?
Delaine: If my exercise is of short duration (1hr or so), I try not to have to eat while working out. If I need to treat or prevent a low, I will choose a rapid acting and easily digestible glucose source (tabs, gels, or fluid carb source such as juice or sport drink). I go for the smallest amount needed, so that I treat/prevent the low but avoid a rebound high. For long duration extreme exercise, such as Century rides, marathons, and long distance triathlons, the goal is to provide easily digestible fuels/carbs that are easy to carry as well as provide electrolyte and hydration needs. There are too many options to name out there, both commercial and home prepared, but the goal is to try various options and learn what works for YOU!

As I mentioned in an earlier post, one of the benefits that made it cost-effective for me to go with the real healthcare (HSA) plan rather than the phony (HRA) plan is that my company is now covering "preventative" medicines at $0 copay. The formulary for these, as stated by CVS/Caremark (my pharmacy benefits provider), covers all test strips, lancets, and control solutions. I dutifully get my doctor to write up prescriptions for all of my testing needs, submit...

Slave labor for an elusive grain dealer
By Horacio Verbitsky
The operation carried out in San Pedro on December 30 illustrates what is possible in uncontrolled markets. Nidera, a transnational grain company that the AFIP [Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos – Federal Public Revenue Administration] has charged with tax evasion amounting to 260 million pesos, had confined 130 workers from the north, adults and adolescents, who did not know where they were, could not leave, had no electric lights or water and were charged exorbitant prices, deducted from the salaries they had accrued, for food the company sold them, including pasta from the Scioli social services plan.
