9 Truths About Business You Won't Learn in School
By Dennis McCafferty | Posted 12-20-2010 Print
Which do you think is more important to career success: Academic pedigree or street smarts? Jay Barney and Trish Gorman Cliffor, authors of the book, What I Didn't Learn in Business School: How Strategy Works in the Real World (Harvard Business Review Press/Available now), have provided an exclusive for CIO Insight: nine real-life "truths" from their book that are particularly important for every CIO to keep in mind. The book doesn't dismiss the value of an MBA. But the authors contend that learning continues long after a graduate has stepped from the educational environment into the real world. It's there that professionals must learn to navigate the personalities, skill sets and politics that are at the core of every enterprise. Barney is a professor of management at Ohio State University. Clifford is a former consultant and director of global strategy learning at McKinsey and Company. She now teaches strategy to executives. What I Didn't Learn in Business School is a fictionalized account of a character named Justin Campbell's journey toward discovering these lessons.

Chair Thompson accepted a request to present an item during the open comment period which was not included in the meeting agenda. She acknowledged Dr. Cheryl Frohlich, UNF's faculty representative for United Faculty of Florida (UFF) and permitted three minutes to present this item.
Dr. Frohlich began by stating that it was not her intent to discuss the current status of bargaining. She offered appreciation to President Delaney for setting the tone for achievement and also for his vision for the University. Dr. Frohlich tried to allay fears surrounding UFF. She stated that it was UFF's desire to work with the University by embracing change and that UFF's purpose was to empower faculty and create mutual respect between the University and faculty by defining character and integrity. She concluded by stating that UFF was a unified voice, with the purpose of promoting academic freedom and equity among all university members.
Chair Thompson acknowledged Dr. Frohlich's comments, stating that she appreciated the values discussed.
Chair Thompson commented on the fact that the Board was pleased with President Delaney and wanted to commend him, faculty, staff and the Foundation for their incredible achievements over the past year.
Chair Thompson stated that in the President's inaugural address he laid out a nine-point plan. His annual self-report provided details on how he was fulfilling that plan. The Board reviewed the President's progress and discussed these results with him in October. Chair Thompson stated that the Board wanted to publicly recognize the President's work as exemplary. He had achieved positive results in moving the University forward. Chair Thompson told the audience that President Delaney's leadership and vision had contributed to the University's success over the previous year.

On campus activities also showed a renewed energy and a commitment to the guiding principles established by the Board. Chair Thompson offered public appreciation from the Board to President Delaney for his contributions to the University.
Chair Thompson reported that the Board had authorized a task force to discuss Presidential compensation and contract issues. This task force would be chaired by Trustee Twomey and attended by Trustees Kendrick and Taylor. The results of their efforts would be presented to the full Board. Chair Thompson specified that any questions should be forwarded to Vice President Karen Stone, the University's General Counsel. Ms. Stone would staff the committee.
Chair Thompson reminded everyone that there was a BOT workshop scheduled for November 9 th and she encouraged all to attend. Issues on the agenda for this workshop would include committee structure (adding an Executive Committee), researching bylaws approved by committee studies of other universities, future board leadership, consent agenda, etc.
Chair Thompson yielded to President Delaney to present his report on Presidential Goals. President Delaney told the Board that he appreciated the Chair's comments and acknowledged that the success of the previous year included many other people.
President Delaney formally announced that Dr. Mark Workman had agreed to serve as Acting Provost, and that following the guidelines of the UNF Constitution, a search for a permanent provost would begin immediately, with the intent to conclude this search in the spring. President Delaney closed his report by indicating that the Presidential Goals for the new academic year would be discussed at the upcoming BOT workshop, scheduled for November 9.
Trustee Twomey told the Board that establishing a new Direct Service Organization (DSO) would enable the University to expand funding opportunities. Extensive discussions occurred at the committee level, as well as with the UNF Foundation where collective support was received. Trustee Douglas asked that the record show that there was unanimous support for this proposal from the UNF Foundation. Chair Thompson stated that this support indicated the strong relationship between the University and UNF Foundation.
Trustee Twomey asked for a motion to ratify and create this new DSO. Trustee Crawford offered the motion and Trustee Douglas seconded. The motion was unanimously approved.
Trustee Twomey stated that everyone attending the meeting knew of the long and thoughtful discussions regarding this agenda item, as well as Agenda Item 6C. He asked for a motion to approve the Traffic and Parking Regulations and the Tuition and Fees Regulation. This motion was unanimously approved.
See Agenda Item 6B. This motion was unanimously approved.
Trustee Twomey stated that this item was for review only and that there had been no negative findings and the audit was a reflection of a great performance.

Trustee Twomey affirmed that this item was for review only and that this report was an ongoing evolution and a clean report, reflecting good management of funds and cash flow.
Trustee Twomey stated that this report was for review only and reflected that the University was in good shape heading into this fiscal year.
Establishing a Graduate School: After being called upon by Trustee Hicks, Acting Provost Workman told the members of the Board that the move from Office of Graduate Studies to Graduate School would reflect the maturation of the University. This change would offer the same style of oversight to the Graduate School as for other departments. Trustee Hicks stated that this action would parallel the administrative structure of most graduate schools in the State University System.
Trustee Hicks asked for a motion to approve the name change of the Office of Graduate Studies to the Graduate School. Chair Thompson offered the motion and Trustee Gonzalez seconded. The motion was approved unanimously.
Provost Workman indicated that there had been discussions among the executive staff, scrutinizing the growth and nature of the institution. These and future discussions would establish projections for growth management. There would be a continued focus on steady, but modest growth and commitment toward greater excellence.
Provost Workman addressed a report that would be submitted to the Board of Governors on projected growth of UNF graduates. He proffered that it was the intent of the University to seek approval for a new doctoral program in physical therapy. As indicated in the report, this would yield an increase in the number of doctoral degrees awarded by the institution.
Trustee Abdullah asked if the BOG considered targeted degree areas and specific community needs. She further asked if there had been a study to correlate the community needs of Jacksonville and future degree requirements and/or additional degrees. Assistant Vice President Perkins stated that there was a shortage of teachers, nurses, and persons in technology fields in the community.
Vice President Serwatka discussed the University's funding efforts in this three areas, as well as its staffing and recruitment efforts.
Chair Thompson stated that this was an ongoing dialogue the Board needed to stay involved in. She included that the Board needed to target areas to provide help to address some of these areas.
Trustee Hicks asked for a motion to approve the Degree Projections through 2012-2013. The motion was offered, seconded and approved unanimously.
Vice President Serwatka discussed tuition waiver authority and the process for allocating this authority to on-campus units. The approval of this policy would allow for flexibility in moving between out-of-state and in-state tuition. Currently there was $1.1 million in tuition authority. This amount was governed by size of enrollment and the cost of tuition. The previous policy had a formula that was percentage-driven and did not take into account Board initiatives or the number of competing groups on campus. Vice President Serwatka stated that in allocating money previous waiver commitments to specific students would be given first priority. After this, University initiatives would govern the distribution of additional resources.
Trustee Hicks asked for a motion to approve the Tuition waiver Policy. The motion was offered, seconded and approved unanimously.
President Delaney stated that about a year-and-a-half ago, the University began to update its 10-year Master Plan. This plan had been vetted at many different levels and approval was received at about as close to a unanimous consensus as could be expected. He stated that the plan provided a good layout for the next decade. It was being brought to the Board for their approval and subsequently to the State of Florida for approval.
Chair Thompson asked for a motion to approve the Master Plan. Trustee Douglas offered this motion and it was seconded by Trustee Twomey. The motion was unanimously approved.
Vice President Shuman addressed existing and future construction projects and updated the Board on progress and change orders.
Vice President Shuman stated that it was the responsibility of the Board to approve the change orders associated with this agenda item and these orders were documented in the meeting materials.
Chair Thompson asked for a motion to approve the construction projects change orders. The motion was offered, seconded and approved unanimously.
Vice President Allaire presented a photo rendering of a potential campus sanctuary created by a local architect. He stated that there was a real interest for this project and should it be considered, it could be used to provide additional classroom space; thus, qualify for Cortellius matching funds. The plans included locating this project around an existing water source, possibly the north lake off the Kernan entrance.
President Delaney stated that the campus sanctuary would offer an upgrade to aesthetics, as well as provide a location for introspection and thought.
This item was presented for information and review only. No action was necessary.
Vice President Stone stated that the proposed bylaw revisions had been through the EPC and FAC committee structure and approved by both.
Chair Thompson asked for a motion to approve the bylaw revisions. The motion was offered by Trustee Twomey, seconded by Trustee Solano and approved unanimously.
Ms. Deb Kaye introduced the fall profile, stating that everyone was pleased with the enrollment numbers for the beginning of this year. Final fall 2005 student enrollment was 15,353. She stated that there were 1,804 new freshmen, a slightly larger number that the previous year. The intent was to grow the freshman class at a moderate rate in order to shape the class.
Ms Kaye indicated that everyone was pleased with minority enrollment growth. She included that out of all 11 SUS universities, UNF was one of four with freshman minority growth. The other 7 universities experienced a decline in minority enrollments. Also, UNF was one of two institutions where overall minority enrollment increased.
Ms. Kaye told the Board that there had been an increase in the academic profile and this was a direct result of scholarship opportunities approved by the Board. The number of scholars increased from 83 to 166. These scholars, on average, had a 4.0 GPA, a 30 ACT score and a 1300 SAT score. As a result, the academic profile produced a very high quality student with an overall average SAT score of 1160.
Ms. Kaye indicated that the Florida Bright Futures scholar increased 6.3 percent – this increase included a larger number of students outside the region.
Ms. Kaye stated that the intent of the next academic year was to increase the academic profile, with no significant growth in freshman enrollment.
President Delaney discussed the fact that on the charts provided in the meeting materials, there was a drop in the freshman GPA. This drop was a reflection in the State's decision to change the formula for calculating the GPA. This change was comprised of a reduction in points given for high school honors and advanced placement courses. Most institutions had followed the State's
requirements, but not all. This information would justify the differences in UNF's figures in comparison to other SUS institutions.
Trustee Abdullah stated that the charts reflected an increase in traditionally-aged students. She asked for clarification on the reduction in students 31 to 60 age range. Vice President Serwatka offered that this increase was a reflection of UNF's history, in that the University began as an upper division institution and was now growing the lower level division.
Trustee Taylor requested clarification on the male/female ratio, stating that the statistics from 1995 to 2005 showed a marked under representation in the male population. President Delaney suggested that this was a national trend that was disturbing.
President Delaney stated that the reduced number of African American males in post-secondary education was of particular concern. He included that Senator Tony Hill met with him and other colleagues to discuss this problem.
Chair Thompson suggested that the issue of gender and race in connection with post-secondary education should be studied further.
Provost Workman stated that Ms. Kaye's recruiting efforts were reflected in the charts provided in the meeting materials. He told the Board that with regard to minority enrollment, the University was committed to increasing these numbers. The University was also committed to allocating funds to recruit and hire additional minority faculty, in hopes of also diversifying the student body.
Provost Workman mentioned plans to hire additional advisors to mentor new students.
Trustee Solano asked for clarification on student retention, stating that she would like to know what happened to students who dropped out of the university after the freshmen or sophomore years – did they attend other universities? Ms. Kaye answered that UNF had an exit survey for students who withdrew from all classes but there was no tracking method for students who did not formally withdraw.
Trustee Douglass asked for clarification regarding the transfer student with an AA degree – were there any statistics on their graduation rates? Trustee Solano suggested that statistically this group of students did quite well, better than the FTICs.
Chair Thompson stated that this topic was good food for thought and would help in the planning process for the future. This agenda item was brought to the Board of information and review only. There was no action necessary.
Vice President Owen provided the Board with an update of legislative and governance issues. In her update she discussed the work of OPPAGA. She also presented a list of major issues for the year: enrollment growth, salary increases, technology needs, health insurance for graduate assistants, support for the major gifts program, and PECO funding; as well as a list of other SUS priorities: tuition flexibility, a technology fee, bonding and financing authority for DSOs, and a governance bill. Ms. Owen gave the Trustees an overview of the division of responsibilities between the BOG and the Legislature as delineated in HB 1001. She also presented a listing of relevant legislation proposed for the 2006 session.
Recognizing Board interest on several of the items, Chair Thompson suggested that the Board should have further discussion at its November workshop. She thought the Board could frame its position on some of the issues at hand.
Chair Thompson offered appreciation to everyone for their efforts. The meeting was adjourned.

Evolution of virtualization and multiprotocol environments – an analyst Perspective
Recently I met the CIO of a large pharmaceutical company and had the opportunity to discuss virtualization and evolution of network protocols as related to his data center environments. Like most enterprise customers, this CIO is also looking for ways to improve efficiency and maximize asset utilization while gaining operational efficiency.
The evolution of virtualization now encompassing servers, storage and networks along with the need to support multiple protocols (FC, iSCSI, FCoE, 10G/100G) introduced new challenges in his DC environments, most notably, how to tie the new virtual environment into his legacy environment and how to manage end- to- end to get operational efficiency. His company is looking for ways to reduce 'time to service' for application deployment while keeping cost at a minimum.
The real question he has is: "how do I support a multiprotocol virtualized environment to improve efficiency, maximize utilization and increase operational cost?"
According to Rick Vilars, VP of Storage Strategy at IDC, "what enterprise is looking for is simpler networks to do more complex things with all their IT assets". Your competitiveness in the market place depends on how well your DC scales and grows in this new world, and the first step to surmount these complex problems is to build a common hardware foundation with common OS across entire DC, i.e, LAN to SAN to WAN to DC Interconnect, all on a common platform.
Watch this video to hear IDC's perspective of multiprotocol SAN evolution and how it can solve the problems faced by our pharmaceutical CIO and other customers in his situation.

Information Overload
Stick to the list and try to resist offering too much information.
I followed the advice of the class instructor even though I did not understand it at the time. The sessions covered the basics of courtesy, dojo layout, punches, blocks and a few stances.
I was a class instructor before I truly understood the importance of the instructions. There is a danger of too much information. I also understand how easy it would have been to get carried away with the intro. As a 1st kyu or a new shodan, there is an exuberance and willingness to share. It takes time to learn how to break down information in digestible pieces depending on the experience level of the student.
As I mentioned to the beginner class last week, Karate and Shrek have something in common.
Karate and Shrek can both be described as being like an onion…layers.

Thanks for stopping by Sue!
Sometimes I find it difficult to maintain a good balance between talking and doing during class. I change my approach depending on the students in class.
Best of luck on your teaching career. I am sure you are doing great!

Most are familiar with the story of the empty jar and ends with the moral: Big rocks go in first.
The problem from the instructor's perspective is what are the "big rocks"?
I have been asked by Sensei to train younger students in various beginner katas.
Each student has a different big rock, for some it's what hand technique to use, for others it's what direction do they turn. For all it seems to be look before you change direction, etc.
Early on, I became frustrated when they didn't perform kata perfectly after I "trained them." However, the more I trained them, I soon realized they "trained me" to look for definite improvement in only one or two aspects of the kata that they didn't know before.

Jim Bercaw: Welcome and thanks for visiting!
Last week we had kyu rank testing in the beginner class. The two weeks prior, we pre-tested the students on their material. I gave each student one thing to work on after each class. I knew I could not give them a laundry list. The big rocks....
Thanks for commenting!

Symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis
Symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis
What are the symptoms of cystic fibrosis?
Many children today are diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) before they have any symptoms. Every state offers cystic fibrosis screening as part of their newborn screening programs. If a newborn has a positive result for cystic fibrosis, additional tests are done. Before screening programs existed, most children with CF were diagnosed after one of the following:
Respiratory symptoms such as cough, wheezing, or breathing difficulty
A thick and sticky first bowel movement of a baby that can block the small intestine (meconium ileus)
Not gaining weight as is normal after birth (failure to thrive)
The following are the most common symptoms for CF. Symptoms also may depend on when your child is diagnosed:
Salty tasting skin
Chronic respiratory symptoms like wheezing, cough, and thick material coughed up from the lungs (sputum) that is sometimes bloody
Lung infections
Poor weight gain and growth
Greasy and bulky stools
Other health problems
These are other symptoms and health problems that may occur in some children with CF:
Sinus infection (sinusitis)
Nasal polyps or an abnormal growth out of the mucus membranes of the nose
Clubbing of fingers and toes. This is a condition marked by the widening and rounding of the tips of the fingers and toes due to lack of enough oxygen in the bloodstream.
Collapsed lung (pneumothorax), caused by air or gas leaking into the area around the lungs
Coughing up blood (hemoptysis)
Right-sided heart failure caused by long-term high blood pressure in the lung arteries (cor pulmonale).
Belly pain
Gas in the intestines
Part of the rectum sticks out through the anus (rectal prolapse)
Liver disease
Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis). This organ creates many hormones and enzymes the body needs to work properly.
Congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens in males
CF symptoms vary for each child. Infants born with CF usually show symptoms within the first year. But some children may not show symptoms until later in life. The following symptoms may indicate CF, and infants having these signs may be tested for CF:
Diarrhea that doesn't go away
Bad-smelling stools
Greasy and bulky stools
Frequent episodes of wheezing
Frequent episodes of pneumonia
Persistent cough
Skin tastes very salty
Poor weight gain and growth
Chronic sinus infection
The symptoms of CF sometimes look like other conditions or health problems. Always see your child's healthcare provider for a diagnosis.

I currently own 1 copy of Pocomail4 and am eligible for the upgrade price to Barca pro. I now want to install Barca in 4 places: one each on my desktop and laptop and one each on my spouses desktop and laptop. Two questions:
Question 1. According to what I am reading, I only need two licenses which can install on the 4 machines. Correct?
Question 2. Can I get the same upgrade price for the second license too? The order form seems to allow this but I wanted to make sure.
Thanks in Advance!
George in Seattle
P.s. I am impressed with the Barca trial. It has everything I need with no useless bloatware. I have always liked Poco since I can configure it to be totally oblivious to malware spam.

Holmes gets 70 years for Rosa murder
The ripple effects of violent crime were on display in a New London courtroom Tuesday, when 22-year-old Evan J. Holmes was sentenced to 70 years in prison for killing Jorge "Loco" Rosa in his Montauk Avenue bedroom two years ago.
In a heart-rending statement to the court, the victim's 8-year-old daughter, Gianna Rosa, spoke of how she'll never be able to ride on her father's shoulders again and lamented that he won't be around to coach her in basketball, an opportunity the 25-year-old Rosa had relished.
"My mommy told me only God can take someone away from you, but why did Evan? He's not God," she said.
Hearing the first few sentences of their niece's victim impact statement, Rosa's two stocky and streetwise brothers had to step out of the courtroom to regain their composure. The young girl with the butterfly T-shirt and braids hanging down her back so closely resembles her father that her family calls her his "twin."
The crime also devastated Holmes' family, but, as Rosa's mother, Bridget Feliciano, pointed out in her statement to the court, they will still be able to see him and hear his voice. Holmes' mother, Desiree Phillipi, stood up and begged Judge Barbara Bailey Jongbloed to impose a sentence that would make her son eligible for parole at an age where he could still contribute to society.
Jongbloed expressed sympathy to both families, saying the case was a tragedy for everyone involved. She handed down a sentence that she said was a direct result of the decisions Holmes had made.
"Shooting a person in his bed in this way is just about as violent a crime as anyone can commit," the judge said.
Jongbloed sentenced Holmes to 58 years in prison for felony murder. He won't be eligible for parole until he is nearly 80 years old. She added 12 years, to run consecutively, for home invasion. Ten of those 12 years are the mandatory minimum sentence. She also sentenced him to 12 years in prison, to run concurrently with the other sentences, for conspiracy to commit home invasion and another five years, concurrent, for criminal possession of a firearm.
According to testimony at Holmes' trial in October, he and his close friend, Davion Smith, forced their way into Holmes' Montauk Avenue apartment in New London during the early morning hours of Nov. 12, 2011. Holmes had been involved in a fight with Rosa's roommate Todd "T.O." Silva a short time earlier at a downtown after-hours club. Silva was not home. Holmes entered Rosa's bedroom, where Rosa was asleep with Holmes' ex-girlfriend. Holmes shot Rosa 10 times. He died a short time later.
Holmes testified on his own behalf at the trial, admitting he was at the crime scene but blaming another man for the shooting. At his sentencing, Holmes made it clear that he intends to appeal.
"Your misguided resentment toward me saddens me," he told Rosa's family. "You've been led to believe a lot of things under false pretenses. I maintain that me and Davion are not responsible. We did not hurt your son."
Holmes was arrested hours after the shooting at an Old Saybrook hotel. Evidence at the trial included testimony from his ex-girlfriend, Gabriella Gonzalez, who said she woke up to see Holmes and Smith at the foot of her and Rosa's bed, and that Holmes asked Rosa who he was before shooting him. Forensic experts testified that Holmes' DNA was present in blood smears collected from the comforter on Rosa's bed and from walls and floors in the apartment building.
Senior Assistant State's Attorney Paul J. Narducci, who prosecuted the case with Assistant State's Attorney Sarah Bowman and inspector Timothy Pitkin, said Holmes had committed a cowardly and vicious act and shows no remorse to this day. Narducci called on the judge to impose a lengthy sentence, saying he hoped it would deter other young people from killing. He also said Holmes' prospect for rehabilitation is slim, given that he had just been through the criminal justice system when he committed this crime. Narducci said Holmes needs to be locked away in the interest of public safety.
"Mr. Holmes cannot be in a position where he's out doing this again to society," Narducci said.
Holmes had been released from prison eight days before Rosa's death. He had served an 18-month sentence for shooting New London teenager Idris Elahi, whom he had known for years, in April 2010. According to testimony in that case, Holmes was trying to resolve a fight between two groups of people when he fired a shot into the ground and Elahi was struck in the foot.
Elahi survived the shooting, and six months later, on Oct. 29, 2010, accepted a dare from one of his friends as they sat in his bedroom and planned a random attack on a stranger. The six teens targeted 25-year-old Matthew Chew as their victim, jumping him as he walked home from work on Huntington Street, and Elahi fatally stabbed Chew. Elahi is serving a 35-year prison sentence for murder, and the others are serving sentences ranging from eight to 15 years.
Holmes said he had come out of prison with a "fresh perspective" on life, but the 12-member jury apparently did not believe his story. They found him not guilty of murder, which includes the element of intent, but guilty of the lesser offense of first-degree manslaughter with a firearm. The jury also found him guilty of felony murder, which holds that he killed someone in the commission of another crime, as well as home invasion, conspiracy to commit home invasion and first-degree burglary. The judge had found him guilty, additionally, of illegal possession of a pistol by a previously convicted felon.
In handing down the sentence, the Judge Jongbloed vacated the manslaughter and first-degree burglary charges because they were lesser included offenses to the felony murder and home invasion charges.
Holmes' attorney, William T. Koch Jr., said that even if the jury did not believe Holmes, the panel still had a problem with the case, since they found Holmes not guilty of murder.
"From the defense table, we still have the issue that Mr. Holmes would shoot somebody he didn't know," Koch said.
Holmes' family left the courtroom silently after the sentencing, while Rosa's relatives stayed behind to exchange hugs and thanks with the people who had helped them navigate the court system, including the state's attorneys, Victim Advocate Beth Ann Hess and New London Police Detectives Richard Curcuro and Matthew Galante.
Smith, Holmes' co-defendant, remains incarcerated, and his charges are pending in the same court.

text: (Yes, Brendan. You certainly *are* a stinker. Photo via Esther Lin/MMAFighting.com) With their talent roster about 100 bodies over-budget, the UFC has had to make some hard decisions lately. Every fighter who doesn't win impressively, or lose really impressively, is potentially on the chopping block. Which is why it surprised me today to see that Lavar Johnson will be keeping his spot in the UFC heavyweight division despite suffering his second consecutive loss against Brendan Schaub at UFC 157. As we all know, Johnson loves to stand and bang. Unfortunately, he didn't get much opportunity to do either against Schaub, who repeatedly took Johnson down and laid on top of him. The ease with which Schaub executed this cerebral game plan suggested that perhaps Johnson wasn't aware that takedowns would even be allowed in the match. When the dust had settled, Schaub had won ugly, and Johnson had lost uglier. So why is Darkness keeping his job, when so many others have been cut loose? There are countless factors involved in the UFC's firing policy these days, so we tried to make some sense of it by putting it into flowchart form. Click the image below to enlarge. We hope this can be of service. (BG)

So, they've appropriated a character who preaches not just an environmental message, but also an anti-consumerism message, and they're using him in advertisements. Advertisements! Advertisements for cars! I don't care if he is fictional… this is slander.
And, on a side note, how do you make a movie out of Dr. Seuss and get a PG rating? Actually, forget asking how, what about why? Also who, when and where. Someone has to account for this whole travesty.

The Berlin School
I recently watched four films by the German filmmaker Christian Petzold: The State I'm In (2000); Ghosts (2005); Yella (2007); and Jerichow (2008). The first three are fascinating, but less than completely satisfying. The fourth makes a quantum leap beyond them. I had seen Jerichow before, when it made a powerful impression; today, it registers as a wonderful, perfect little film. All four are well worth seeing.
I've had a peculiar experience with Petzold. On the one hand, I'm riveted by the precision and rigor of his style: the intelligence of his compositions, the confidence with which he handles shot duration, the sharp surprises in his cuts, and the masterful, exhilarating control of his mise-en-scène. Watching these films do their work is to be immediately reminded of the stylistic flabbiness of most films. But the content of the first three films -- their narratives, characters and themes -- while promising and interesting, struggles in vain to equal the marvels of their style. Jerichow succeeds by molding and developing that content with the same scrupulous discipline and care that Petzold devotes to film form. In its multidimensional political critique, Jerichow achieves a great, stirring resonance that travels well beyond the film's specific narrative and characters.
Despite my reservations, Petzold's films have made me extremely curious to see and learn more about the films of the "Berlin School." The three filmmakers most closely associated with this "school" are Petzold, Angela Schanelec and Thomas Arslan. Michael Sicinski writes in Cinema Scope:
Without any intention whatsoever, Petzold has become a kind of figurehead for the Berlin School much in the way Andrew Bujalski has been reluctantly appointed the global ambassador for "mumblecore." What Petzold, Arslan, and Schanelec do have in common is the fact that they studied filmmaking at Berlin's dffb, an intellectually rigorous film school guided at the time by [Harun] Farocki and fellow film-essayist Hartmut Bitomsky. Aside from these two Berliner forefathers, and the three dffb graduates, the "movement" fans out all over Germany, also encompassing directors associated with Revolver magazine, such as Christoph Hochhäusler, Benjamin Heisenberg, and Ulrich Köhler, and other non-dffb filmmakers such as Maren Ade, Aysum Bademsoy, and Maria Speth, all rendering the "Berlin School" tag quite misleading. Nevertheless, Petzold has achieved a level of international exposure and acclaim which thus far exceeds that of any other director working under this umbrella, and so, within certain circles of international film discourse, Petzold's work ends up being at least partially understood as an ongoing referendum on the ultimate value of this broad swath of German counter-cinema. Does it or will it have the staying power of the New German Cinema of the '60s and '70s? Is it an appropriate antidote to big-budget junk like Downfall (2004) and withering mediocrities like The Lives of Others (2006)? Are Petzold and the "Berlin School" the future of German cinema, or is Fatih Akin?
The "Berlin School" film that has most recently fired my curiosity is Christoph Hochhäusler's The City Below, thanks to Sicinski's review of it. Alas, it doesn't appear to have acquired US distribution yet. (Hochhäusler keeps a German-language blog called "Parallel Film.")
Here are a few more useful links to writings on the "Berlin School":
-- Ekkehard Knörer's invaluable overview piece in Vertigo magazine;
-- Marco Abel's equally indispensable essay in Cineaste, and his interview with the articulate Petzold (wonderfully titled "The Cinema of Identification Gets on My Nerves"), also in Cineaste;
-- Dennis Lim's New York Times article;
-- A "Berlin School" retrospective at Cinematheque Ontario, and Andrew Tracy's essay at MUBI on the occasion of the series;
-- The text "The Berlin School -- A Collage" at Senses of Cinema;
-- Steve Erickson's review of Yella at Baltimore City Paper; and a blog post at Kamera.
I'd love to know from you: Any "Berlin School" filmmakers or films you especially like or would like to recommend? And any thoughts on this "movement"?
Speaking of German-language cinema-related artifacts, Victor Perkins wrote me a note recently to share news of a Max Ophuls discovery he made "on a visit, or pilgrimage, to Saarbruecken":
In a bookshop opposite the plaqued house in which Ophuls grew up I enquired in case there were new German books on MO that I should know about. Instead of a book the owner sold me a cd which turns out to be major treasure. It offers a recording of the 1954 broadcast from Sudwestfunk, Baden-Baden, scripted and directed by MO based on Goethe's Novelle. It has Oskar Werner as narrator and a distinguished cast including Kaethe Gold. The music is adapted from works by Haydn. Even those whose German is non-existent, or yet more primitive than mine, would be taken by the intricacy of the relations between narration, performance, effects and music. It was clearly a labour of love for Ophuls, and a supplement to the broadcast gives us Ophuls himself commenting on his dedication to Goethe and his aims in the broadcast.

Virginity is a very touchy issue in just about every culture. Curiously enough, it's almost always exclusively about female virginity. This woeful double standard gives rise to emotional conflicts for both genders. But again, it is young women and girls who bear the brunt of it.
Let's begin with Katelyn who's 18 years old:
My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year. We've just started talking about having sex even though we both took a virginity pledge through our church. We love each other very much and plan on getting married in a couple of years. If we are practically engaged do you think having sex now would be like breaking our promise?
I'm pretty sure that the creators of all those "abstinence only" and "virginity pledge" programs out there like to think they're keeping kids like you safe from the unforeseen consequences of sex. I'd probably have less of a problem with them if they didn't have at their base some pretty rank scare tactics.
Scaring people away from sex is a time-honored means of controlling people.
If you have sex, you well surely get a disease!
If you have sex, you will surely get pregnant!
If you have sex, you will be breaking the commandments and you'll go to hell!
If you have sex, you will be a slut and no one will want to marry you!
And my all-time favorite: If he gets the milk for free, why would he buy the cow?
These sex-negative messages only frighten, intimidate and instill guilt. They certainly don't teach people how to behave knowledgeably and responsibly. And they do absolutely nothing to prepare even those who wind up honoring their pledge of abstinence for the inevitable sex life they'll have later in life. And that to my mind is criminal. Young people have a natural, healthy curiosity about their bodies and the bodies of others. Stifling this natural curiosity with veiled threats and fear-mongering does very little good—and a whole lot of harm.
But before I respond to your question, I have a question for you. I hope you're not actually thinking I might help you rationalize away your impending behavior—Oh sure honey, if you're gonna marry the lug anyway, why not give it up now?—because I won't go there. Have the courage to make up your own mind. If you're old enough to be considering sex, you're old enough to take responsibility for your actions.
If you abstain from sex out of fear or religious duress, then where's the virtue in that? It's just as bad as having sex because you fear losing your boyfriend. Neither option suggests to me that you are behaving knowledgeably and responsibly.
Of course, it's always easier to decide on a course of action when one has all the information. And that's where I can be of some assistance. I'm not gonna tell you what you oughtta do, but I can offer you some timely information about human sexuality that you apparently aren't getting from your family, church or your community.
There are many sexual alternatives to full-on fucking. And if you want to remain a virgin, at least technically speaking, you might want to explore these options.
Are you both masturbating? If not, then that's a good place to begin. You should both be familiar with your own pleasure zones and sexual response cycle before you launch into partnered sex of any kind. I believe that the best sex is mutual sex, where the partners knowingly and without reservation gift themselves to one another. And I don't see how that's possible unless you are well-acquainted with the gift…your own body.
I can guarantee that your boyfriend won't know how to pleasure you, especially if he's still discovering the pleasures of his own body. And you'd be a very remarkable young woman if you understood the mysteries of male sexuality. So if you're both unversed in the joys of human sexuality, why not discover them together? Mutual masturbation—as well as oral sex—will help you appreciate the particulars and uniqueness of each of your sexual response cycles. And just think how far ahead you'll be when you guys actually decide it's time for full-on fucking. You'll already know how your bodies work.
Even so, the two of you should be familiar with several different means of birth control—and practicing at least two methods. This is a precaution because, in the heat of the moment, you may decide to escalate things to include vaginal penetration. And if you do, you'll be prepared. Always have water-based lubricants on hand, even for masturbation. These lubricants work very well with latex condoms. Oil lubricants, like petroleum jelly, baby oil or cooking oil, can cause latex condoms to break. So stay away from them.
I realize that procuring all this stuff is gonna be a challenge for young folks like you. But don't just blow them off just because they're not readily available to you. This is a big part of being knowledgeable and responsible about your sexuality. If you're not prepared to go the distance in terms of preparation, you're not ready to have sex.
Young men and boys have their share of trepidation about impending partnered sex. Here's 18-year-old Tabor.
I feel kinda silly asking a complete stranger this, but here goes. I'm a pretty normal 18 year old. I've had a few girlfriends over the years, nothing really serious, though. Lately I've been seeing a lot of this one girl; she's 20, a junior at my school. I really like her and we're discussing taking our friendship to the next level, but there's a problem. I'm a virgin. My girlfriend is way more experienced than me and that makes me a little nervous too. She wants me to decide when the time is right. My question is how will I know when I'm ready for sex?
I have a question for you, Tabor, and I hope it doesn't sound flippant. When do you know it's time to eat, or sleep? I know many of us eat even when we're not hungry and sometimes we don't sleep even when we're tired. That aside, I suggest that the same bodily signals that alert you to hunger and exhaustion will let you know when it's time for sex. You'll want to have sex when you feel the desire to be sexual. I'm not trying to be evasive; I'm trying to get you to listen to your body, because that's how you'll know. To be perfectly frank, that's how all of us know it's time for sex. We get a hankerin' for some pleasure and we pursue that till we're satisfied. Sometimes that's solo sex and sometimes it's partnered sex.
If I were to advise you further I'd want to know how much sex you've already had with your GF. Has there been any sex play at all? Probably some, right? Otherwise how would you know you like her well enough to consider taking things to the next level?
Penis/vagina intercourse, or as I like to call it, "fucking," can bring more intimacy and more pleasure than other forms of sex, but it's not the be-all end-all either. Fucking also carries far more responsibility, particularly for fertile young puppies like you and your honey.
Is it safe to assume that you are well-versed in the complexities of the human reproductive system? I hope so. Not everyone is, of course, even some otherwise smart people. If you're not clear on the whole concept, there's no time like the present to do a little boning up, so to speak. Being responsible about sex is as important as being sexual. And being informed about health risks and contraception is the beginning of taking responsibility for your sexual activity.
Remember what I said earlier—that you'll want to have sex when your body says so? Well, if you take the time to prepare now, you'll not need to interrupt the moment when your body tells you I'm ready! You should discuss birth control with your girlfriend in advance of any foolin' around. You should have condoms and lube available. Don't expect that you'll have your wits about you when your dick is hard. Remember, you're not the one who'll get pregnant if ya'll screw up. I'll bet your sweetheart will be impressed with your forethought, too.
Remember, even if your girlfriend is on the pill or has a diaphragm; condoms are a must. One in every ten sexually active teens carries one or more STDs or as we call them nowadays, STIs (sexually transmitted infections). You can consider dropping the condoms only when you're in an exclusive relationship.
Good luck!

By the end of the nineteenth century, men and women from Cape Verde arrived in great numbers. Their immigration continued until the restrictive laws of 1921 closed the door to non-Europeans. Between 1860 and 1920, about 20,000 Cape Verdeans made their way to New Bedford. They worked in the textile mills and the cranberry bogs. These immigrants arrived in New Bedford on October 5, 1914. The 155 passengers had come from Fogo Island.

2013 APG Yearly Typologies Report now available
The 2013 APG Yearly Typologies Report is produced by the APG Typologies Working Group. The report includes observations on Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing techniques and methods drawn from across the APG region.
This year's report includes 99 cases drawn from 19 APG member jurisdictions, as well as links to typologies information from partner AML/CFT organisations.
The cases and observations are intended to assist with identifying instances of suspicious financial activity in the real world.
It is hoped that the case studies and 'red flag' indicators included in the report will be of direct use to the front-line financial institutions and non-financial businesses and professions (casinos, accountants, lawyers, real estate, etc.) involved in implementing preventative measures including customer due diligence and suspicious transaction reporting.
A copy of the report can be found in the Methods & Trends Documents section of the website or by clicking on the image of the report cover.

On Saturday most of the team got up early to drive to the Simien Mountains, the second-highest point in Africa, with tons of wildlife and natural beauty. Carla and I chose to stay back in Gondar to explore the city. Our university guide and host Sintayehu met us at the hotel and accomodated our request to walk into town, about an hour walk. Since Saturday is a market day, we saw lots of people from the villages walking through town with their wares and animals (donkeys, mules and chickens). Carla and I enjoyed walking past the shops we normally drive by, because we got to see a more close-up view of the surroundings. For example, we saw there was a barber shop and some vendors selling some delicious-smelling, fried street food. We stopped in a Western Union to get some cash, and it took a really long time. We have noticed that "lines" here, such as they are, don't really exist. People often crowd around a bank teller or post office window, and try to get their attention.
We went to our first stop, King Fasiledes Bath. It was built during the 1600s as the king's personal pool, and is quite large, about Olympic-sized. Now it is empty, except the one time of year when people go swimming for Timkat, the Feast of the Epiphany for Eastern Orthodox (the main religion in Ethiopia) in January. There were huge trees with roots growing out of the stone and bricks, and we also saw parrots and other brightly colored birds.
We next took a bajaj (motorized three-wheeled rickshaw) to Qusquam church. We were trying to get to the Selassie church, but the bajaj driver took us there by accident. It was a lovely accident, as we were able to explore the ruins of old stone buildings. We learned that many historic buildings in Gondar had been bombed by Somalis during the war.
For lunch we stopped in the Four Sisters restaurant, a tourist destination that capitalizes on foreigners' interest in traditional Ethiopian customs, like ritualized hand washing. Sintayehu's cousin Eden joined us, and then we all went to (the real) Selassie church together. We had to take off our shoes and there were separate entrances for men and women. Inside, the small church was covered in religious paintings that are about 200-300 years old. With Sintayehu translating, an elderly man dressed like a priest told us about the art. According to him it was painted on fabric and then pasted on the walls. He also explained the different saints, some of whom were Ethiopian, and Carla and I were not familiar with. Others were more universal, like Jesus, Mary, and the holy trinity. Selassie actually means "trinity" in Amharic.
We took the bajaj back, and it was so helpful to have Sintayehu with us. Not only for his friendly companionship, which really added to our experience of the day, but for his local knowledge of negotiation, and ability to get better fares for us than we would have gotten for ourselves.

Product Highlights
The 67mm PURE Harmonie Multi-Coated UV Filter from Cokin is a general use, clear filter designed to block ultraviolet light and reduce the bluish cast of daylight. Aside from the reduction of unwanted blue casts, no additional coloration or contrast is created, and adjustments to exposure are not required while using this filter. When the 67mm PURE Harmonie Multi-Coated UV Filter is applied, 50% of ultraviolet light waves are blocked at 380 nanometers, before which they are progressively eliminated, helping to limit the light that enters a camera to the visible spectrum. The appearance of blue casts that can occur while recording video or still photos under daylight that also features ultraviolet light is reduced, preserving color accuracy throughout the frame.
Cokin PURE Harmonie multi-coated UV filters are constructed from Gorilla glass for enhanced scratch-resistance while providing over 99% transmission of visible light. This 95mm PURE Harmonie multi-coated UV filter features a 3.9mm-thick aluminum-alloy filter ring for durability while remaining lightweight. It minimizes the potential for vignetting and includes corresponding 95mm front filter threads for use with other screw-on filters.
To help eliminate internal ghosting and reflections, each glass surface of the 95mm PURE Harmonie Multi-Coated UV Filter features 16 layers of Cokin's EVERCLEAR 5 anti-reflection coating. These coatings are resistant to oil, dust, dirt, and scratches, offering greater protection to the filter and help it to stay clean for longer than with uncoated filters. The coatings are also hydrophobic, resulting in an improved beading effect when in contact with water for greater cleaning efficiency.

Friday, September 02, 2011 - Jiri Jiskra's Solo
We took Oleg Bukhtin, Roman Demuth and Jan Pribyla on location with us for a scene. This was Oleg's first scene, so I was keen to see how he would do. The action starts with Jan and Roman playing cards, and after a while Oleg enters. Immediately all thought of playing cards is forgotten as Jan takes hold of Oleg and starts to lick his nipples. Roman opens his own pants and starts to feel himself as Jan does the same for Oleg. Oleg is quickly rock hard and Jan starts to suck his cock with Roman wanking himself as well. Then as Jan stands, so that he can kiss Oleg Roman joins the two of them, and Oleg reaches behind him and starts to jack Romans's hard cock. Oleg then turns around and goes down on Roman's cock while Jan drops his pants to reveal his dick too. Oleg quickly shows us that he is a great cocksucker and wants to taste both cocks, taking turns on each as Roman and Jan kiss. Jan pushes Oleg's head down on Roman's dick, so far that he gags on it, and then he takes Jan's cock and Roman pushes him all the way down on that one too. Clearly Oleg loves cock and makes a very job job of sucking them. He continues to suck on Roman as Jan starts to play with his ass. He rims and fingers it very well before he and Roman change positions, so Roman can shove his cock all the way in Olegs ass. Then it is Jan's turn and Oleg sits on his cock, taking it all the way, and Jan starts to deep fuck that hole. Roman wants more of that ass, so he fucks Oleg again which he does until he has a need for something else. So Jan takes his place fucking and Roman lets a stream of piss flood all over Oleg while he is being fucked. all this action is really turning Oleg on and he shoots his load while Jan is fucking him, he is quickly followed by Roman who spurts over Oleg's face. Then Jan blows his load over Olegs balls too. Jan and Roman leave and Oleg stays where he is sucking his fingers, and relishing the hard fucking he has just received. What a great scene, and what wonderful find Oleg is, a real sex pig it seems. I have an idea that we will find a lot more for him to do.
Jiri Jiskra is aged 20 and lives in Prague. He is a student who likes travelling, jogging and tennis, as well as fitness. Jiri really looks great standing there, at the start of this video in just his jeans and cap. He quickly removes both, so that he is fully naked, and starts to caress his body. Very soon his cock is hard and he continues to rub himself before turning around to show us a very nice ass, and then bends over and spreads the cheeks so that we can see the hole. Then he lays of the floor and covers his groin with his cap, but it doesn't stay that way for long as a helping hand arrives and removes it. The hands oil Jirka's body and starts to play with his cock, getting him nice and hard, then lifts his legs to expose his tight ass. No time is wasted, a finger slips right in that tight hole and then a vibrator appears and that slides in as well. It seems to go in easily enough so a larger, black one is found and the hands push it deep into Jirka's hole, sliding it in and out. Jirka then starts to wank himself and pops a very nice load for us. Finally he goes off to shower, cleaning himself up and bringing a very nice video to a close. Jirka has agreed to more work, but is currently out of the country, so we have to wait for him to contact us before we can bring him back.
Jakub Stehno is aged 20 and lives in Vysoke Myto. He works as a cook and enjoys fitness and football. Jakub is a great looking guy, with a handsome face and a very good body indeed. He adopts some very good poses in this stills shoot, as he shows himself off for us. I like Jakub very much, particularly the shots where his dick is hard,and those lovely shots of his nice hairy hole. I can hardly wait to see more of him.

The year was 1975; the U.S. was formally introduced to the Volkswagen Rabbit and the term "hot hatch" was born. The Mk I Rabbit was a hot commodity at a time when consumers were trading their big, gas-guzzling American cars for smaller, nimbler imported cars. With its watercooled powerplant and front-wheel-drive layout, it also set the scene for a new generation of Volkswagen tuners.
One of the first watercooled VW tuners on the scene was GMP of Charlotte, N.C. Founder Joe Klitzsch, a machinist who grew up in the backyard of the pre-war Audi group, came to the States in 1967. A Porsche enthusiast, Klitzsch was looking to set up a Porsche service and repair shop, drawing on his German roots to import the parts. Then in 1976 he and his wife, Claudia, purchased a Rabbit as a daily driver. He became dissatisfied with the 1.5-liter carbureted engine's performance, however, and as a racer, began making improvements. His first was mating a new single downdraft carb to the engine with an adapter plate. Word on the modification got out, and it wasn't long before Claudia was taking orders and selling them by the dozen.
The tinkering continued, and that Rabbit became the launching point for Deutsche Motoren und Teile. It translates as German Motor and Parts, which was later shortened to GMP. Word spread quickly, and the Klitzsches decided they needed to expand and maintain an inventory to keep up with demand. To finance the business, they sacrificed Joe's beloved Dolphin Gray Porsche 356 coupe. The rest, as they say, is history.
Last year marked the company's 35th anniversary and to commemorate the occasion, they unveiled a trio of special tribute vehicles. They represent the company's past, a restored 1975 Rabbit in full racing trim; its passion, a race-prepped Audi S3; and its present, a Mk VI GTI.
The Past: 1975 VW Rabbit
This Rabbit is none other than the Klitzsch's first daily-driven car. Even after the business' inception, racing continued to be a big influence on the company and that Rabbit began a slow transformation into an SCCA GT racer. The engine was replaced with a blueprinted and balanced 1.6-liter 8-valve powerplant. A set of 11:1 Mahle pistons were placed in the bottom end and the head was ported and polished. A custom-ground Schrick camshaft with heavy-duty valve springs were added, along with a custom airbox and an ABT intake manifold mated to a pair of dual side-draft carburetors. A dry-sump oiling system and side-exit exhaust were also fabricated.
Power from this new engine went to a close-ratio five-speed gearbox and limited-slip diff (replacing the standard four-speed) through an unsprung twin-disc sinter-metal clutch and lightened flywheel. The brakes were improved by installing four-piston calipers on the front assemblies and relocating the stock front calipers to the rear; a Heim-jointed pedal box was also added for balanced brake proportioning.
The chassis was fortified with a complete rollcage and VW Motorsport wing strengtheners. Underneath, the suspension received a fully adjustable coilover setup from Sachs and redesigned lower ball joints. Custom sway bars and strut braces designed by Joe himself complemented a rear axle triangulation setup, which eliminated the car's notorious rear-wheel lift during hard cornering (a stance Joe refers to affectionately as the "Pissing Dog"). Up top, the shock towers were built for increased camber adjustability and the car's suspension pickup points were relocated to lower the chassis overall.
The Rabbit was set to roll on 8x13 three-piece BBS racing wheels and Goodyear "Sports Car Special" slicks. GMP fabricated aggressive fender flares to allow for a wider overall track. A front spoiler was sourced from Zender.
The Rabbit was campaigned throughout the SCCA's southeast region between 1980 and 1990.
January 2010 welcomed a new year, and the S3 as the new company racecar. The S3 silhouette received the Rabbit's signature white paint and blue stripes. And since they were undertaking that project, and celebrating their 35-year milestone, they decided to roundly celebrate the history by having the Rabbit restored to its former glory. Both cars would be unveiled at the company's Thawout event in May 2010.
But the Rabbit restoration could not begin without Joe finding The Guy—the one who could really make the restoration shine. The Guy happened to be one Chris Luker, whom they found, after a three-month search, at a local Porsche repair shop. Having maintained and crewed on many VW Rabbit race teams throughout the years, he was intimately familiar with the car. He started by completely disassembling it and washing and painting everything.
All parts are entirely original and period correct as the car last raced in July 1990, except for the windshield and hood. These two items were kept original to preserve the tech inspection stickers and paint and stripes. However, they hardly knew that finding a "survivor" hood and windshield from a 1975 Rabbit would be so difficult. Luker searched locally and checked all 13 Rabbits in his yard (yes, 13 Rabbits). Sourcing parts was also impossible and most components were fabricated as needed or were either repaired or rebuilt. But the vinyl stripes proved to be the most difficult part of all. Hundreds of color swatches were reviewed to find the exact matching colors. Two weeks and many different sets of eyeballs went by before the right material finally arrived.

The Passion: 2008 Audi S3
As 2009 approached, GMP began looking for a suitable vehicle for their return to club racing. The VW Group 1.8T engine was still a hot commodity with an established history of performance tuning, so GMP decided it would provide the basis for a new racecar. Having raced a B5 Audi S4, Joe and Claudia's son Stephen began to search for a suitable S4 1.8T platform. And then by a stroke of good luck, he ran across a real, live Audi S3 that had been secretly tucked away in a local warehouse. The choice for the new race project became blatantly obvious.
The build began with putting on a fresh coat of paint that was color matched to the Rabbit's. The stripes were laid out in a similar pattern, with softer angles to capture the S3's curves.
The engine is based on a 1.8-liter block bored 1mm over stock with a set of JE pistons and forged rods capped with an AEB big-bore head. The drivetrain uses a stock six-speed gearbox equipped with a lightened flywheel and unsprung six-puck clutch disc. Induction comes from a Carbonio carbon intake and cooled with an APR Z-shape intercooler with in-house fabricated piping. The factory turbocharger was changed to a ball-bearing Garrett 2871 bolted to an APR Inconel manifold. The downpipe and exhaust were built in-house to fit around the car's rear driveshaft. The rear wheels are locked into place with a competition Haldex controller.
Said wheels are custom painted two-piece 8.5x18 RH RANs wrapped in BFGoodrich R1 track tires. Behind those are brakes using four-piston Alcon monoblock calipers with Performance Friction PFC01 race pads. The suspension uses coilovers made by Ohlins featuring external reservoirs for easy adjustability.
On the inside, the instrument panel features a host of gauges to keep the vital signs in check. The driver sits in the car securely with a Recaro Profi XL seat and a six-point set of Schroth belts and center net. The Sparco steering wheel is mounted on a Sparco quick-release hub.

The Present: 2010 VW GTI
The Mk VI was built to showcase suppliers represented by GMP—and as a GTI that can be taken to the track, perform well and be driven home, all while looking good. GMP Performance partnered with APR, renowned VW and Audi tuners, to improve on the vehicle's power with a Stage 3 turbo kit. The Mk VI's 2.0 TSI heartbeat now beats to the rhythm of 376 hp and 361 lb-ft of torque on 93 octane from its initially relaxed 216 hp and 238 lb-ft. On 100 octane race fuel the power climbs to 404 hp as the turbo fully spools at 3400 rpm delivering 350 lb-ft and continuously delivering up to redline, peaking at 5800 rpm with 368 lb-ft. An APR intercooler upgrade and Carbonio carbon intake system help keep the intake charge cool. GMP partnered to develop a signature turbo-back stainless steel exhaust system designed to deliver a prominent sound announcing the
Mk VI's arrival. The suspension was dialed with a set of H&R Street Performance coilovers and sway bars.
The GTI rides on a set of ADV.1 modular wheels, a rendition of the classic mesh design. The design utilizes the entire spoke face as the wheel center has been meticulously machined to lie precisely into the polished wheel lip. This detail combines the deep lip look with a larger full-face diameter that extends to the edge of the rim where it meets the tire. The wheel faces are also staggered in concavity, the front 8x19 faces are relatively flat whereas the matching 9x19's spokes bow outward from the wheel center to the rim's edge. The centers and inner barrels are painted in satin gold, a classic BBS finish from the '70s and '80s that matches both the Rabbit's restored wheels and the S3's track wheels. The GTI's wheels are wrapped with Continental ExtremeContact DW rubber.
Along with the GMP 35th anniversary tribute stripes on the outside, the GTI features subtle interior appointments—a set of embroidered floor mats, lightly tinted windows and 35-year anniversary "golf ball" shifter. The exterior features a carbon roof wing and a custom Razor hood with vents to release heat from underneath. The underside of the hood is finished nicely with Kevlar rain trays protecting the engine compartment from debris.
The Future
All three of these cars represent different aspects of the GMP history and philosophy. Yet all three share an undeniable common thread. And as they roll into the next decade, you can bet that GMP Performance will continue as it always has. Says Stephen Klitzsch: "Even after all these years, the driving factor is having our customers leave happy with their individually improved European cars."

Powstanie warszawskie - "Ludzie Wschodu" Lao Che (00:03:19m)
At dawn today, without preliminary artillery fire, German troops made a surprise attack on Polish positions located in Zoliborz, and have seized the "Zgoda", a large housing cooperative situated on Slowackiego Street. The attacks were followed by another barrage of strong artillery fire against Gdanska Street and Wilsona Square. Amid the maelstorm insurgents managed to establish contact with members of the 1st Army of the Polish Armed Forces. By midday fierce battles ensued for control of individual houses along the lower part of Mickiewicza and Krasinskiego Streets.
Meanwhile several Polish troops were scheduled to evacuate to the right bank of the Vistula in the afternoon and had begun their retreat upon the orders of their commander, Lt. Col. Mieczyslaw Niedzielski "Zywiciel". However bad weather has made it impossible for them to make the crossing. Some Polish troops attempted to force their way through but were stopped.
|Col. "Wachnowski"
At 5:00 p.m. Col. "Wachnowski" relayed the terms of capitulation to Lt. Col. "Zywiciel" and at around 6 p.m. the district of Zoliborz surrendered. For the next five hours members of the Armia Krajowa (Home Army) troops have laid down their weapons, and marched to Pionier Park in Powazki under German escort.
Polish emissaries have been negotiating with General Bach in his headquarters in Ozarow for the past couple of days concerning the terms of capitulation and the issue of evacuation of civilians from Srodmiescie. The Polish delegation was able to obtain consent for a cease-fire between 5:00 am and 7:00 pm on October 1st and 2nd during which over 200,000 Polish civilians will be evacuated. The Germans have established five specific points as the evacuation routes - at the western entries of Grzybowska, Panska, Piusa and Sniadeckich Streets at the Institute of Technology, and also in Aleje Jerozolimskie Street.
Since the Uprising began, General von dem Bach Zelewski had approached the Poles on three occasions with surrender proposals, terms which included guarantees and assurances of formal status of combattant rights to the insurgents. Despite the agreement, about 150 insurgents were shot today when they emerged from the sewers. They had been travelling underneath Warsaw and as fate would have it mistakenly merged in the district of Mokotow Sector, which is now in German hands.

Despite appeals for assistance, and the frequency of urgent radio message, there was no action taken by Britain or United States. Throughout the Uprising, there have been over 6,600 messages either received or transmitted. It amounts to 104 messages per day. Most of the demands have been for allied air assistance. However, sources indicate that a second relief flight coded Operation Frantic 8 is being planned by the Americans. Clearance was received just today from the Russian authorities, and cargo is in its last stages of preparation. The flight is scheduled for October.
General Bor, as the commander of the Armia Krajowa has fought tirelessly to defend Warsaw and Poland from the German onslaught, but with the battle now having been lost, the next most grave concern is the future of Poland's independence and sovereignty. It will be a fight to the very last hour. Bor also stated his message that "The fighting insurgents and the community expect concrete decisions; not only assistance for Warsaw, but also a clear statement on ways of recovering Poland's independent existence and sovereignty threatened by the aggressive policy of the Soviet Union..." There has been no comment by either American or British officials.
The BBC in London has reported that Gen. Kazimierz Sosnkowski has resigned, and that the Polish President Wladyslaw Raczkiewicz has appointed General Tadeusz Komorowski "Bor" Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Armed Forces.

Cooling off on top of a volcano in the snow was a nice way to spend a hot summer day. This last weekend atop of Mt Baker, Jeremy Dubs of Funner Films put together the first annual "Funner Films' Slush Cup. The contest involved bee lining it down a sketchy, bumpy path full of sun cups, ditches and loose dogs, and then skimming across a freezing lake to patches of floating ice on the other side. Riders and contestants included Patrick McCarthy, Nathan Lind, Matt Edgars, Lucas DeBari, Tyson Anderson, Crazy Joel, Chad Enoches, "D", Drew Cyr, Mikey P, Chase Cleveland, Eliah, Monty Hays, Jeremy Dubs, Andy Walbon, Leif Jones, Cowboy, Boston, and Justin Heath.
"This year's slush cup had all the most important elements of a good northwest contest. Lots of beer, lots of northwest locals ready to drink those beers and even some young ladies sportin' bikinis while crossing the water ride. It was good times for sure. I loved seeing everyone up there having such a good time it is what more contests need to consist of."—Patrick McCarthy
The winners of the Slush Cup were Chad Enoches, getting best trick for his backside three nose-butter, and Lucas Debari for his bar raising, record skim of over 200 feet. This could be the standing record for distance in snowboard water skimming. Definitely a lengthy ride, especially considering some didn't even make it down the narrow runway to the lake. Carnage was aplenty during this event, but fortunately no one got seriously injured … just a few broken egos and lots of wet gear. "People showed up in full force to celebrate a fantastic season and positive northwest vibes, where pros and am's, moms and dads, young and old ride together to have a good time. We do it because it's Funner." Says Jeremy Dubs.
Snowboarding is definitely about being creative and having fun and that's what this contest was about. Not everyone made it across with dry clothes, but everyone had a good time enjoying the summer snow. Big thanks go out to the events sponsors, Northwave/Drake/Venue/Bakoda, Pow Gloves and One Mountain. And make sure you check out the latest release from Funner Projects, Smokebomb. www.myspace.com/funnerprojects.

If you thought the Apprentice was bad then think again. Getting fired by Sir Alan Sugar is nothing compared to what Gus Poyet went through as a football pundit on live television.
He was still manager of Brighton And Hove Albion as the Spain-Nigeria match kicked off at 8pm but he was fired by half time.
You may ask did the Brighton board ring him up and relieve him of his duties with immediate effect or did he have an argument with the chairman over the phone - which led to him losing his position.
Could he have said something on social media that meant he could no longer continue in his role.
The answer is no to all of these. Poyet was instead handed the Brighton club statement from their website, halfway through the first half by BBC production staff.
On air, Poyet said that he hadn't had any communication with the club - only receiving an email officially from the club at 21:03 compared to the statement put on the club website at 19:14 the same evening.
He added that he was going to appeal the decision. He said: "From what I read from the statement I am now unemployed, and my idea now is to appeal and to get back the job I'd been doing until 7:30."
He had been on suspension since May after falling out with the board reportedly over the alleged transfer budget for the 2013/14 season. Undoubtedly a messy way to get rid of a manager, more so when you consider that he led Brighton to the play-offs last season, only to be beaten by eventual winners Crystal Palace following a tight second leg at the Amex Stadium.
Poyet is hot property in football at the moment, gaining plaudits for his attacking style of play, shrewdness in the transfer market as well as his charismatic handling of the media.
A young manager that very nearly gained a second promotion in four years with the same club is a feat that will be attracting interest, with bookies at one point making him favourite for both the Everton and Fulham jobs. Odds are never certain, but one thing that is certain in this case, is that Poyet is destined for the top.
At the end of the BBC 3 broadcast, Mark Chapman summed up the night perfectly.
This rings true now more than ever, and surely must make some managers think of their futures. Chapman quipped: "Up next on BBC 3 is Nev and the Call Centre. Who'd be a manager, eh?

I have spoken to Constellation Europe Limited who now oen Stowell's and their comments are below.The brand manager has got back to me who advises that Stowells have never had carafes made by Holmgaard A/S of Denmark. Sorry this has taken some time to found out. In view of their comments I wanted to contact Holmegaard to see if the carafe was manufactured by them - but my attempts at a contact there have not yet been fruitful.
