Accused war criminal Goran Hadzic [ICTY backgrounder] on Wednesday entered a not guilty plea at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) [official website]. Hadzic had refused to enter a plea [JURIST report] in July when he was extradited to The Hague [JURIST report], where he now awaits trial for war crimes [indictment text]. Hadzic was the last fugitive of the original 161 sought by the ICTY and was arrested [JURIST report] last month. Hadzic waived his right to appeal extradition and, after visiting with a few relatives in Serbia, was flown to The Hague. The court has not set any dates for further appearances.
Hadzic was a key player in the Bosnian Civil War [JURIST news archive] and has been at large for approximately seven years. Hadzic's official charges [case information sheet, PDF] are: persecutions on political, racial or religious grounds; extermination; murder; torture; inhumane acts; deportation and forcible transfer; cruel treatment; wanton destruction of villages, or devastation not justified by military necessity; destruction or willful damage done to institutions dedicated to education and religion; and plunder of public or private property. Hadzic's indictment contends that, in his role as president of the Serbian nationalist forces during the war, he attempted to permanently and forcibly remove a majority of the Croat and other non-Serb population from the disputed territory. He is accused of murdering or ordering the murders of hundreds of non-Serb citizens, including children and the elderly. Further, he allegedly displaced more than 20,000 non-Serb civilians. Hadzic was the final remaining war criminal at large from the Bosnian Civil War, along with Ratko Mladic [JURIST news archive], who was arrested in May [JURIST report].

After covering over 400 begrudged miles so far this year on snow covered roads, I uttered the words this morning that I didn't think I would ever speak, "I kind of wish I had a treadmill".
I am a running purist. People have asked this winter why I don't cross country ski or snowshoe. . . it's because I am a runner. Plain and simple. I don't run for fitness, to live longer, or to have nice looking legs. I run because that's who I am and simply what I do. So skiing or snowshoeing just won't do it for me. I'm sure I could get in a good work out, but I don't even need to give them an honest try. I like to log miles RUNNING.
So this brings me to the treadmill debate. I've been seriously considering purchasing one over the past few days. I don't know if it's the doldrums of this historically precipitation ridden winter causing these thoughts or actual logic that makes me think a treadmill could play a beneficial role in my training. I'm just so tired of not being able to run any faster than 8 minute miles at top speed and risking my well-being in the process. It has been absolutely terrible running conditions daily thus far this entire year. But would I even use a treadmill enough to justify it? It is true that I have not been on a treadmill in more than 6 years and I have always hated them with a passion. I don't know how feasible a treadmill would be for me, but here's my reasoning for possible reconsideration of my stance:
- On the days that it is simply too bad to run outside or even those when it's hard to convince myself to do so, I would have another option and therefore no excuse.
- It could add a new element to training. The consistent speed setting of the treadmill could be of some benefit to training and pacing.
- It may possibly be easier to convince myself to do some of the two-a-day workouts with one being the treadmill on occasion.
- I think my wife would use it more often than I would. She "wimps out" during the winter months all together running and doesn't feel as comfortable as I do playing chicken with some of the idiot drivers I come across on the backroads.
So what are everyones' opinions or thoughts on treadmills? Are they useful training tools or just expensive drying racks for running clothes? The jury is still out for me; I'm looking for guidance.

Join Dr Klaus Dugi and Steven Wibberley on a live, interactive and informative show where there will be a discussion on the serious disease IPF (Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis).
With Evel Knievel among its famous sufferers, Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a very serious and ultimately fatal interstitial lung disease, killing more people in the UK than leukaemia.
However, many of us have never even heard of the condition let alone the severity of it meaning it is often spotted very late.
On this special live and interactive show, broadcast during World IPF week to raise awareness, Dr Klaus Dugi (Medical Director, Boehringer Ingleheim UK and Ireland) and Steven Wibberley, (Chief Operating Officer, British Lung Foundation) will be educating people on how to spot the signs and symptoms in yourself and in other people, the importance of early diagnosis and treatment and enlighten people on everything they may not have known about IPF.
Submit your questions prior or during the live show here here and to also watch the show live at 2pm on Monday 5th October here here.

In communities large and small across the state of Illinois during the early years of the Civil War, men drilled for war. Illinois, like many of the other states that remained loyal to the Union heeded President Lincoln's call for men to put down the insurrection in the South. With so many men to train, a need arose for places to organize and train these future soldiers. These places were the camps of instruction.
Camps of instruction were the initial meeting places for volunteers, which were where the men lived and trained until ordered to the field. In Illinois in the Civil War (1966), Victor Hicken mentions Camp Mather in Peoria as well as the other sites in Illinois where camps formed, including Springfield, Quincy, Aurora, and Carrollton. These sites were necessary, as Illinois exceeded the quota for troops. Hicken notes, "that young men were drilling everywhere".
Camps of instruction affected Illinois in a large way, with many being located at fairgrounds of the various communities where regiments formed. For instance, the fairgrounds at Peoria were used for a camp of instruction, which caused the postponement of the county fair in 1861. The impact of the camps became apparent when in 1862, Illinois cancelled the state fair due to the site being used as a camp, and that many counties had done the same with their fairs because of the use of the grounds by the military.
Not only did camps affect the communities by postponing fairs in certain localities, they affected them every day they were in operation. These camps brought the war home to the small towns in Illinois before the first casualties of the war were reported. These communities in many cases saw men drilling daily and learning to be good soldiers. In addition, the men, interacted with the citizenry in other ways, like fighting over issues of food and other matters relating to army life.
The historiography of camps of instruction fits into the larger field of Civil War soldiers. Reid Mitchell points out in his essay in Writing the Civil War: The Quest to Understand (1998) that the study of soldiers is just reaching its "maturity", which only applies to a handful of areas of Civil War scholarship. The scholarship on soldiers begins with Bell Irvin Wiley, who wrote the landmark works on Civil War soldiers. For examining Union soldiers, Wiley's work The Life of Billy Yank: The Common Soldier of the Union (1952) is the standard scholarly source on the subject. Regarding camps, Wiley stated the following:
At some point in the process of organization the volunteers moved to camp. Usually the initial encampment was a temporary one located in the home community, but occasionally the regimented life was begun at points of rendezvous or camps of instruction farther removed, though normally not so far away as to prevent exchange of visits with the homefolk.
Wiley adds that early activities that occurred in camp included election of officers, the mustering in of the men, the photographing of the men, and drilling. Wiley also discusses general camp life. He notes how men of similar tastes formed messes, eating their meals together, as well as living with one another. After Wiley, most historians examined the camps in a similar fashion to his general description, adding one unique aspect to their own examination. Victor Hicken, who is mentioned above, focused on Illinois and focused on pointing out some locations of camps across the state. In Battle Cry of Freedom (1988), James McPherson only mentions camps to criticize their lack of training, but neglects the social aspects of the camps. McPherson's examination is the closest a historian has come to framing an argument about camps. McPherson's argument is interesting and worth examining, but in order to evaluate his argument properly, one needs to follow the regiments throughout the war, which presents too many variables that could factor into the success or failure of a unit on the battlefield.
After McPherson, Larry M. Logue looks at camps in To Appomattox and Beyond: The Civil War Soldier in War and Peace (1996). Logue presents the same look at camps as Wiley, only adding the issue of individuality amongst new soldiers in the camp. He notes that the men took exception to following orders and performing the chores that came with army life, and that the soldiers resented drill, even if its intent was to build teamwork and break the recruits' resistance to following orders. In addition, Logue notes how some soldiers brought their own weapons into the camp of instruction. In an essay in The Civil War Soldier: A Historical Reader (2002), Fred Shannon notes life in the camp of instruction as one of the soldier's own making, as well as the transportation to camps by long marches or steamboat. Shannon then describes the living quarters of the men, food in camp, poor cooking, drill, and leisure activities including card playing, sports, and drinking. Finally, Steven Woodworth describes camps of instruction in his book Nothing but Victory: The Army of the Tennessee, 1861-1865 (2005) and places them in the context of the history of the Army of the Tennessee. Overall, the historical examination of camps of instruction is descriptive, but the inclusion of camps in several historical works dealing with soldiers, illustrates the importance of camps in the larger debate. Examining camps allow historians to experience the anxieties and other emotions that soldiers expressed, and the social activities that occurred in camp.
Two areas of examination within the larger topic of camps of instruction that best illustrate the impact of the camps on both soldiers and surrounding communities are the daily activities of the soldiers in camp and the interaction between the soldiers and civilians. The daily activities include both duty related activities as well as social activities that occurred in camp, while the interaction between the soldiers and civilians focuses on the soldiers visiting the nearby community. While there are many other areas that may be discussed, these two aspects present many interesting tales based on both primary and secondary sources.
The daily activities of soldiers inside the camps expose the occasional interesting events in the camp, as well as the things that soldiers engaged in to both pass the time and make it through each day. One somewhat obvious activity that the soldiers engaged in while at camp was writing, either letters, diaries, or both. Many of the letters were to friends, relatives, and sweethearts, and reflected many emotions and tones that offer insight into the soldier's personality at the early stage of the war. For instance, Lansden J. Cox, a soldier in the 122nd Illinois Infantry wrote several letters to his wife while at Camp Palmer near Carlinville. In them, Cox expressed his religious conviction, his devotion to duty, his love for his wife, and his anxieties about battle. For instance, Cox expresses to his wife his desire, "to do my duty as a Christian, as a soldier, and as a husband." Cox notes his enjoyment of camp, but also of a feeling of loneliness soon after his wife departed the camp.
In some letters, Cox expresses his anxiety while in camp. For example, he notes his anxiety on October 5, 1862, writing that he feels sad at the prospect of leaving and possibly never seeing his wife again, but that they must both put their trust in God that Lansden will survive the war. While Cox expresses some anxiety, his religious beliefs temper this anxiety, as he expresses his belief that if he does not come home that he and his wife will see one another in Heaven. Unfortunately, Lansden Cox died at Memphis, Tennessee in November 1863.
In addition to Lansden Cox, Valentine C. Randolph of the 39th Illinois Infantry expressed his religious conviction, as well as his patriotic fervor in his diary while he was in Camp Mather in Chicago. He expresses his desire for his loved ones not to weep over him if he dies for his country and that, "If the Union cannot be maintained . . . let it be forever blotted out of existence." Later, Randolph notes his fears about his future as a soldier and his fear of the temptations in camp, which he fears more than the enemy that he will one day face. Randolph's religious conviction is present in his entry on September 23, 1861 describing his muster into the army, in which he desires to be "a soldier of the cross."
In addition to writing, the typical day of a new soldier was busy with drill and other forms of training. Leander Stillwell, a soldier in the 61st Illinois Infantry, described drill in his unit's camp of instruction Camp Carrollton in his memoir The Story of a Common Soldier. Stillwell writes, "All day long, somewhere in the camp, could be heard the voice of some officer, calling, "Left! left! left, right, left!" to his squad or company to guide them in the cadence of the step." Stillwell added that, "We were drilled at Carrollton in the "school of the soldier," "school of the company," and skirmish drill, with dress parade at sunset". Stillwell also stated, "I do not remember of our having any battalion drill at Camp Carrollton." He added that, "The big trees in the fair grounds were probably too thick and numerous to permit that."
Other soldiers described the drill in their camps. For instance, Allen Morgan Geer, a soldier in the 20th Illinois Infantry, notes drilling with the other recruits and being very tired while at Camp Goodell near Joliet. Geer also notes conducting "battalion drill" on one afternoon and drilling the next morning prior to departing the camp for Camp Pope, near Alton. Once at Alton, Geer mentions drilling the first day in the camp and that the drill ground at Camp Pope was "very fair." James Swales, writing to his brother David from Camp Defiance near Cairo states that his unit, "is getting on finely with our drill" and that, "we drill in squads most of the time." Drill occasionally forced some men to end letters abruptly, like William H. Austin's letter from camp in Cairo in which he tells Maggie Sargent that he did not have the time to write because he had to be at three o' clock drill.
Many other activities occurred in camp besides drilling that engaged the soldiers, and created a unique community within the camps. Leander Stillwell describes an activity known as "prairie dogging", where the men ran around and visited the other company barracks. In addition, he notes how the men engaged in singing many patriotic tunes and other songs. Allen Geer notes a special occasion in Camp Goodell, mentioning that, "Major Goodwin was married at dress parade with [the] Regt. in hollow square." Valentine C. Randolph mentions one of the privates getting married in Camp Mather, which was on the south side of Chicago.
Meals in camp were also important activities. Several soldiers describe the food they ate, as well as the preparation of the food, and eating with comrades. Leander Stillwell describes the food that men in his regiment ate in Camp Carrollton as follows:
Our fare consisted of light bread, coffee, fresh meat at some meals, and salt meat at others, Yankee beans, rice, onions, and Irish and sweet potatoes, with stewed dried apples occasionally for supper.
Stillwell adds "At Camp Carrollton and Benton Barracks we had company cooks who prepared the food for the entire company". Allen Geer notes how several men from his unit hired a black man (he used the term Negro) as a cook. Valentine Randolph notes the food in Camp Mather, which is the same as Stillwell's account, but with the addition of the description of the dining tables, which Randolph notes as being made from "pine boards" and dishes made of tin and iron.
Often, religious activities occurred in the camps. Valentine Randolph provides the best accounts of these activities. He mentions the service conducted by the regimental chaplain on two separate occasions, with neither being very good in his opinion. In addition to regimental services, Randolph mentions attending a prayer meeting in another company. William Onstot notes his dissatisfaction with the preaching in camp, describing the regimental chaplain's Episcopalian faith as "peculiar" and not liking the one service he attended. In some cases, as will be illustrated later, these in camp religious events were not enough for some soldiers.
One potential drawback to all of the activity in camps was a lack of privacy. Stillwell describes this situation, stating:
The only thing recalled now that was sort of disagreeable at Camp Carrollton was the utter absence of privacy. Even when off duty, one couldn't get away by himself, and sit down in peace and quiet anywhere. And as for slipping off into some corner and trying to read, alone, a book or paper, the thing was impossible. To use a modern expression, there was always "something doing." Many a time after supper, on very cold nights, when the boys would all be in the barracks, singing or cutting up, I would sneak out and walk around under the big trees, with the snow crackling under my feet, for no other purpose whatever than just to be alone awhile.
Stillwell's complaint about the lack of privacy is interesting, as while people grew up in larger families, with children often sharing a room, the isolation of rural life may have made the large concentration of men in the camps a little intimidating.
Not all activities that occurred in camp were positive. Soldiers describe examples relating to misbehavior, sickness, accidents, and occasional death. For example, James Swales describes suffering "a violent cold" that rendered him "hardly able to perform any duty." Allen Geer notes two soldiers being injured while at Camp Pope (Geer does not indicated if they died) when a musket fell and discharged, with one soldier suffering a wound to the head and the other his thigh. William Onstot mentioned being in the hospital ill for one week and being unable to perform duties. William Onstot also noted the death of a soldier at camp near Cairo when another soldier threw his gun on the ground and it discharged, firing the ball through a soldier in a nearby tent, and killing that soldier. Onstot notes that a "funeral took place . . . in Military Style and was very solemn."
Misbehavior was noted by several soldiers, which resulted in punishments of varying severities being issued. The two common vices that occurred in the camps were drinking and gambling. In a letter to his brother David, James Swales notes the behavior of several drunken soldiers, who he notes were Irish, which may reflect the anti-Irish sentiment at the time. He writes that they were so disorderly that "they resisted even the point of the bayonet" and how "one fellow got so rampant that it took ten men to handle him." Swales mentions that this man, even while under guard, described his captain in very profane language. Allen Geer writes that alcohol and gambling were prohibited in Camp Pope, but that soldiers gambled anyway, and that drunkenness was also punishable. Valentine Randolph mentions one soldier being placed in the guardhouse for drunkenness and two other soldiers being court marshaled for desertion and being confined. Allen Geer notes one soldier being kicked out of camp for recruiting his company from other companies in the same regiment, as well as one being kicked out for mutiny. Being kicked out of the army was a great fear among some soldiers. William Austin mentions that he would rather "be burned to death than [be] drumed [sic] out of camp" and that being drummed out was "worse than death."
In addition to the occurrences inside the camps, the soldiers sometimes ventured out and interacted with the nearby community. These excursions serve to illustrate the impact of camps of instruction on the local communities. Some interactions were positive, while others were negative. Often, either the soldiers went into the community to attend church services or have their pictures taken. Bell Irvin Wiley describes this event, stating that, "countless soldiers visited the "daguerrean artists" who set up shop in camp or in near-by towns." Allen Geer writes in his diary of going to Joliet to have his picture taken to send home. In a letter to his wife, Lansden J. Cox states that, "I had my picture taken the other day which I will send to you this evening you can leave the picture I had taken when I was up there at Fathers as I think this one is the best and I want you to have the best one."
Several soldiers mention attending church services in the community while in camp. Lansden Cox notes attending worship in Carlinville and described the preaching as "very good." Valentine C. Randolph notes attending a local church service, but that, "The sermon was not at all suited to the times." Later, he notes attending a service held by the local "young men's christian association."
As noted above, the men in the camps often had a variety of food to eat, but this did not keep them from taking advantage of other opportunities for food. Some soldiers mention dining in local restaurants or having meals prepared by local citizens. Allen Geer mentions having a dinner prepared by persons associated with the nearby Monticello Female Seminary, while in Alton. Valentine Randolph notes going to local restaurants for meals, sometimes because of a lack of food in camp. These occurrences, as well as the soldiers touring the nearby community exposed the soldiers and civilians to each other in a positive way.
Occasionally, the interaction between the soldiers and locals took an interesting and memorable turn. This is especially true for Camp Carrollton. As stated above, Leander Stillwell described the drilling of his regiment at Camp Carrollton. This drilling did grab the attention of the camp's neighbors. Across the road from Camp Carrollton was the farm of the Luman Curtius family. The soldiers entranced the Curtius boys, especially little Henry. One day, the little boy was watching the activity standing in the spot where the men were marching. Just as it looked like the men were about to march over the little boy, the first soldier picked him up and passed him back until the last man set him down. Henry Curtius still remembered the incident even 78 years later. The Curtius family assisted the camp since their well filled the canteens of the soldiers, as the water at the fairgrounds was of poor quality. This story is both unique and important, as it serves to tie the story of camps of instruction into the field of history and memory, as it relates to the Civil War, and the study of the home front.
Sometimes the interaction between the soldiers in camp and civilians negatively affected the local community and the soldiers. For example, in January 1862 at Camp Carrollton, some of the soldiers "protested the quality of the bread" that they received, and had a "knock down" with the locals. This implies violence between the citizens and soldiers occurred, and, the citizens claim that they were too much for the soldiers, and that while they were proud of the camp and men, the citizens of Carrollton were not afraid to establish that they were in charge. The interactions between the soldiers and civilians, both positive and negative, place the camps of instruction into the historical realms of history and memory as well as studying the home front as they pertain to the Civil War. In addition, they serve to illustrate the level of impact that camps of instruction had on civilians and communities in Illinois.
In conclusion, camps of instruction are an important area of study in the overall historical examination of the Civil War. As illustrated by some of the camps in Illinois, the camps affected both the soldiers housed in them, as well as the nearby communities. Soldiers engaged in many activities while in camp, including drilling, writing, singing, which served to turn the camp into its own unique community. The soldiers experienced the hardships of army life, from discipline to sickness, to death, as well as the good times, like church services and weddings. Often, soldiers ventured outside of camp to interact with the nearby community by attending church services, dining out, or just touring the town. These interactions, as well as the occasional clash, left the civilians with some memories of the experience, both positive and negative, and served to link the soldiers to that community. Camps of instruction thus serve as the focal point for the Civil War for many localities and states that had no major combat in them and allow these areas to have a connection to the war, and to the soldiers that fought it.

FORT STEWART, GA - Twenty-one couples from 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, Third Infantry Division, renewed their wedding vows during a "Coin and Covenant" ceremony, Feb. 7, at the Fort Stewart Main Post Chapel. The couples in attendance ranged from newlyweds married for four months, to a couple married for 32 years, and spanned the ranks of private to field grade officer. Maj. David K. Trogdon, the 4IBCT chaplain, put together the event with the assistance of the chaplains and chaplain's assistants throughout the Vanguard Brigade.
During the ceremony, couples received a coin that is split in half, with a message of strength and support on both halves. One half was meant for the husband and the other side for the wife. The covenant portion of the ceremony is the renewal of the couple's wedding vows, to reinforce the promise that both soldier and spouse will be faithful, supportive, and strong during the brigade's upcoming deployment.
Chaplain Trogdon said, "The Coin and Covenant ceremony provides couples a pre-deployment opportunity to say I love you, no matter what. The idea is to help strengthen military families by taking the time to say our marriage and our family are important, and remind us that we have each other."
The chaplain also said renewing wedding vows is important all the time. "We should renew our vows every day," he said. The 4IBCT chaplains held one previous ceremony, helping 22 other 'Vanguard' couples renew their vows. The brigade will have another ceremony this weekend at their Strong Bonds marriage retreat, the last one planned prior to the brigade's deployment to Afghanistan.

Islamist fighters have opened an international front in Mali's civil war by taking dozens of Western hostages at a gas plant in the Algerian desert just as French troops launched an offensive against rebels in neighboring Mali.
Nearly 24 hours after gunmen stormed the natural gas pumping site and workers' housing before dawn on Wednesday, little was certain beyond a claim by a group calling itself the "Battalion of Blood" that it was holding 41 foreign nationals, including Americans, Japanese and Europeans, at Tigantourine, deep in the Sahara.
Algerian media said a Briton and an Algerian were killed in the assault. Another local report said a Frenchman had died.
One thing is clear: as a headline-grabbing counterpunch to this week's French buildup in Mali, it presents French President Francois Hollande with a daunting dilemma and spreads fallout from Mali's war against loosely allied bands of al Qaeda-inspired rebels far beyond Africa, challenging Washington and Europe.
A French businessman with employees at the site said the foreigners were bound and under tight guard, while local staff, numbering 150 or more, was held apart and had more freedom.
Led by an Algerian veteran of guerrilla wars in Afghanistan, the group demanded France halt its week-old intervention in Mali, an operation endorsed by Western and African allies who fear that al Qaeda, flush with men and arms from the defeated forces of Libya's Muammar Gaddafi, is building a haven in the desert.
Hollande, who won wide praise for ordering air strikes and sending troops to the former French colony, said little in response. In office for only eight months, he has warned of a long, hard struggle in Mali and now faces a risk of attacks on more French and other Western targets in Africa and beyond.
The Algerian government ruled out negotiating and the United States and other Western governments condemned what they called a terrorist attack on a facility, now shut down, that produces 10 percent of Algeria's gas, much of which is pumped to Europe.
The militants, communicating through established contacts with media in neighbouring Mauritania, said they had dozens of men at the base, near the town of In Amenas close to the Libyan border, and that they were armed with mortars and anti-aircraft missiles.
They said they had repelled a raid by Algerian forces after dark on Wednesday. There was no government comment on that. Algerian officials said earlier about 20 gunmen were involved.
Lives at risk
The militants issued no explicit threat but made clear the hostages' lives were at risk: "We hold the Algerian government and the French government and the countries of the hostages fully responsible if our demands are not met and it is up to them to stop the brutal aggression against our people in Mali," read one statement carried by Mauritanian media.
The group also said its fighters had rigged explosives around the site and any attempt to free the hostages would lead to a "tragic end." The large numbers of gunmen and hostages involved pose serious problems for any rescue operation.
Smaller hostage-taking incidents have been common in the Sahara and financial gain plays a part in the actions of groups whose members mingle extremist religious aims with traditional smuggling and other pursuits in the lawless, borderless region.
Algerian Interior Minister Daho Ould Kablia said the raid was led by Mokhtar Belmokhtar, who fought Soviet forces in Afghanistan in the 1980s and recently set up his own group in the Sahara after falling out with other local al Qaeda leaders.
A holy warrior-cum-smuggler dubbed "The Uncatchable" by French intelligence and "Mister Marlboro" by some locals for his illicit cigarette-running business, Belmokhtar's links to those who seized towns across northern Mali last year are unclear.
French media said the militants were also demanding that Algeria, whose government fought a bloody war against Islamists in the 1990s, release dozens of prisoners from its jails.
The militants said seven Americans were among the 41 foreign hostages - a figure U.S. officials said they could not confirm.
Norwegian energy company Statoil, which operates the gas field in a joint venture with Britain's BP and the Algerian state company Sonatrach, said nine of its Norwegian employees and three of its Algerian staff were being held.
Also reported kidnapped, according to various sources, were five Japanese working for the engineering firm JGC Corp, a French national, an Austrian, an Irishman and a number of Britons.
U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said, "I want to assure the American people that the United States will take all necessary and proper steps that are required to deal with this situation."
He said he lacked firm information on whether there were links to the situation in Mali. Analysts pointed to shifting alliances and rivalries among Islamists in the region to suggest the hostage-takers may have a range of motives.
In their own statements, they condemned Algeria's secularist government for "betraying" its predecessors in the bloody anti-colonial war against French rule half a century ago by letting French warplanes fly over its territory to Mali. They also accused Algeria of shutting its border to Malian refugees.
Panetta said Washington was still studying legal and other issues before providing more help to France in the war in Mali.
Hollande has called for international support against rebels who France says pose a threat to Africa and the West, and admits it faces a long struggle against well-equipped fighters who seized Timbuktu and other oasis towns in northern Mali and have imposed Islamic law, including public amputations and beheading.
Islamists have warned Hollande that he has "opened the gates of hell" for all French citizens.
Some of those held at the facility, about 1,300 km (800 miles) inland, had sporadic contact with the outside world.
The head of a French catering company said he had information from a manager who supervises some 150 Algerian employees at the site. Regis Arnoux of CIS Catering told BFM television the local staff was being prevented from leaving but was otherwise free to move around inside and keep on working.
"The Westerners are kept in a separate wing of the base," Arnoux said. "They are tied up and are being filmed. Electricity is cut off, and mobile phones have no charge.
"Direct action seems very difficult. ... Algerian officials have told the French authorities as well as BP that they have the situation under control and do not need their assistance."
Mali offensive
French army chief Edouard Guillaud said ground forces were stepping up their operation to engage directly "within hours" the alliance of Islamist fighters, grouping al Qaeda's North African wing AQIM and Mali's home-grown Ansar Dine and MUJWA.
West African military chiefs said the French would soon be supported by about 2,000 troops from Nigeria, Chad, Niger and other states - part of a U.N.-mandated deployment that had been expected to start in September before Hollande intervened.
Chad's foreign minister, Moussa Faki Mahamat, told Radio France International his country alone would send 2,000 troops, suggesting plans for the regional force were already growing.
In Mali, residents said a column of some 30 French Sagaie armoured vehicles had set off toward rebel positions from the town of Niono, 300 km (190 miles) from the capital, Bamako.
A Malian military source said French special forces units were taking part in the operation. Guillaud said France's strikes, involving Rafale and Mirage jet fighters, were being hampered because militants were sheltering among civilians.
Many inhabitants of northern Mali have welcomed the French attacks, although some also fear being caught in the cross-fire.
Hollande said on Tuesday that French forces would remain in Mali until stability returned to the West African nation.
The conflict, in a landlocked state of 15 million twice the size of France, has displaced an estimated 30,000 people and raised concerns across mostly Muslim West Africa of a radicalisation of Islam in the region.
But many who have lived for many months under harsh and violent Islamist rule said they welcomed the French.
"There is a great hope," one man said from Timbuktu, where he said Islamist fighters were trying to blend into civilian neighbourhoods. "We hope that the city will be freed soon."

Weighing ingredients, specific to salts
OK, so I made this fantastic banana bread that calls for kosher salt. First time I made it by volume, second time by weighing (first time I was in a rush and didn't want to grab the scale). I think second time was better, but it was better in other ways too.
Someone(s) just asked for the recipe and I want to be clear about the salt in the recipe. I can't assume everyone will go out and buy kosher salt just to make these breads. So, I need to be able to say, "this much kosher salt, or this much table salt". I thought that would be simple enough until I started doing a little searching - all kosher salt is not created equal!
The kosher salt I have is Morton's Course Kosher salt, which now I read, is not as course as most other kosher salts. But I'm also going to to assume, that the Morton Kosher salt is the most common in many homes if people buy kosher salt because that's what they can get at most grocery stores.
So, I went to Morton's site and their faq says they don't recommend baking with it (lack of practice? experience?) and then they provide comparison charts, one being a one to one volume comparison. See here: http://www.mortonsalt.com/salt_guide/index.html#conversion_chart
According to that chart, when I did the volume measurement of the morton's kosher salt, I put too much (and I do think it tasted salty). Second time, I weighed, they tasted right. So, just now I weighed a tablespoon of my Morton kosher salt (did so three times to be sure I was measuring accurately) and once I got 20 grams, the other two times I got 24 grams. The recipe calls for ELEVEN grams of kosher salt. That means I doubled the intended salt the first time I baked. According to other salt weights I've encountered, 1 tablespoon of table salt equals around 18 grams.
How can my kosher salt weigh that much more than table salt? So then, I weigh my table salt and I measure a tablespoon three times and get 32 grams, 26 grams, 28 grams on three successive tries, so around 28 grams per tablespoon. Is it my scale? (I have an older version of this scale: http://www.amazon.com/Soehnle-65105-Digital-Kitchen-Silver/dp/B000JG4C2W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1280847660&sr=1-2 ). Could old batteries be throwing things off? (I've had the scale for 4-5 years and never have needed to change the batteries). or are my ingredients "wet"? (we didn't have AC for a month while we were waiting our turn for the technicians to install new) and then the last few days we turned it off as the weather was nice. But that doesn't make sense either - my table salt was in a sealed container.
ACK!!! Now what do I do? And if weighing is more accurate than volume, what does that mean that my weights are off? Is everything off equally? Or, am I messing up proportions?

World Trade Organization Protests in Seattle
In January 1999, the City of Seattle was selected to host the World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference in November-December 1999. The WTO is a global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. In March, multi-agency planning began through the City of Seattle Public Safety Committee with goals of ensuring safety for participants and freedom of expression for protestors.
The conference began in November 1999 and inspired one of the largest political protests ever seen in Seattle. Protesters focused on issues including workers' rights, sustainable economies, and environmental and social issues. On the first morning of the conference, when downtown streets and intersections could not be cleared and after downtown businesses were vandalized, the Mayor of Seattle declared a civil emergency. The Governor declared a state of emergency on November 30. Publicized worldwide, the City was criticized for mishandling the protests and for being unprepared.
Months of analysis followed WTO, exploring issues surrounding the rights of free speech and assembly, abuse by law enforcement officers, and mistreatment of individuals taken into custody.

by Female Trouble
March 1994
Within the womenâs community, over half (56%) of the 539 lesbian and bisexual women surveyed experienced discrimination, harassment, or physical assault from other women because of their participation in consensual s/m. This survey only dealt with the discrimination or violence occurring within the lesbian community against S/M women.
Harassment is the most common form of attack against s/m practitioners in the lesbian community. 44% of the S/M women reported some form of violence against them, with one-third of the reported incidents of harassment had occurred in the last year (1993).
30% of the S/M women in the survey experienced discrimination in the lesbian community because of their s/m orientation. This discrimination included being refused membership or being ejected from social, recreational, political, education, spiritual groups within the lesbian community.
Incidents of physical assault in the lesbian community because of S/M orientation were reported by 25% of the women. This includes being slapped, punched or kicked by other women because of their s/m orientation.
Of the 367 s/m women who were victims and/or witnesses of violence at some point in their lives, only 22% felt safe enough to report the incidents to police or event organizers, group leaders, bar staff, etc. Only 25% stated that their complaints had been handled satisfactorily. This reputation within the lesbian community for not supporting victims of violence, harassment and discrimination prevents s/m women from fully participating in the community.
In the forward of the Female Trouble analysis, Jad Keres writes: "The S/M women who have taken part in this survey have something important to tell us. Listening to them does not require an understanding of their sexual expression nor approval of their lifestyle. It does require a willingness to still the persistent noise of hard-held opinions and unyielding dogma. As a community, will we finally allow the voices of all women to be heard and heard consistently or will we continue to blatantly censor and dismiss the lives of women we do not understand or approve of? As a community, will we finally acknowledge and stop the political violence that has preyed upon S/M women or will we continue to ignore the real bloody consequences of the 'Sex Wars'?"

Murga: A musical tale of two cities
By Autumn Spanne, Special to CNN • Published 12th February 2013
View Gallery
8 Pictures
On a warm summer afternoon in Buenos Aires last February, an Argentinian friend dropped me off in the charming historic neighborhood of San Telmo on her way to work.
"You should go see a murga tonight!" she said.
My only association with murga was a love song by one of my favorite musicians, Uruguayan singer Jorge Drexler, called "Murga Reggae": "Con mi amor yo quiero bailar/Murga Reggae."
My Spanish wasn't good enough to understand the entire song, but the lyrics I did get seemed pleasant: Something about summertime, a shower of stars, the end of carnival and how he wanted to dance with his love. Did I want to see a murga? Claro!
Hearing the drums of the murga
So as the sun set over the Río de la Plata, I wandered away from the tourists sipping cappuccinos and mates as they watched tango dancers in Plaza Dorrego, one of the city's historic squares. Several blocks later, the tourists had vanished and the smoke of a sidewalk asado, a huge Argentinian-style barbecue, filled the air as lanky men in tank tops demonstrated their grilling prowess. In the distance, I heard the drums of the murga.
Murga, it turned out, is far from a slow, romantic dance. It's a lively form of street theater that became a prominent part of carnival celebrations in Uruguay and Argentina at the turn of the 20th century. If you happen to be in this part of the world during carnival, which generally begins in late January or early February, it's also a great way to experience regional culture and history.
Murga originally came from Càdiz, Spain, but transformed in the Río de la Plata region into a unique cultural expression also rooted in other European and African traditions of music and dance. It first flourished in working-class, immigrant neighborhoods of Argentina and Uruguay, drawing on sounds of daily life: calls of street vendors, melodies of popular songs and, fundamentally, African drumming.
African rhythm pulses through the music
During the 18th and early 19th century Spanish colonial era, enslaved Africans in the region developed elaborate drumming rhythms called candombe, which became a way of preserving their cultures and stories. Today it continues to thrive, particularly in predominantly Afro-Uruguayan neighborhoods in Montevideo. This is the pulse of murga.
But murga also has distinct differences in each country. In Argentina, murga corsos are parades in which performers from a given neighborhood, many dressed in satin frock coats and top hats, drum and dance through the streets until reaching a staging area. There the musicians sing and play nasally horns while agile dancers swirl and kick and jump to the rhythm of the bombo, tambor and cymbals in a blur of sequins and feathers.
In Uruguay, carnival lasts 40 days (it's the longest in the world). This year it started January 25 and will continue until early March. Murga performances here are much more regimented and elaborate. They incorporate a greater variety of musical instruments, powerful choral song and costumes that recall commedia dell'arte-like characters with painted faces, colorful capes and plumed hats or other outrageous headgear.
illed with parody and political satire
Murga competitions are televised, and groups practice exhaustively for months to develop and perfect their routines in secret -- serious prize money is at stake. The groups perform in theaters and tablados, outdoor staging areas constructed all over Montevideo, and may travel to several venues in one night.
Murgas in both countries incorporate social and political criticism. But Uruguayan murga places more explicit emphasis on parody and political satire, often achieved by playing with the lyrics of well-known songs and even advertising jingles to construct clever, humorous critiques of everything from presidents to soccer teams to social issues.
In a country where people often feel overshadowed by neighboring Argentina, these distinctions count. "Murga is one of the only things that a lot of Uruguayans feel is only theirs. So it's viewed with a lot of pride," said Natalie Kirschstein, a professor of world music at Regis University in Denver who studies Uruguayan murga.
Despite the differences, the tradition remains, in both countries, by and for the community. Murguistas are not professional singers and dancers, but working people -- bakers, vendors, mechanics and factory workers. They achieve a certain celebrity status during carnival, but they derive their material from the joys and struggles of family and neighbors, placing everyday life in a larger sociopolitical context.
Repressive regimes banned the murg
Murga's association with working-class neighborhoods, unions and political satire made it a target of the countries' right-wing dictatorships in the 1970s and 1980s, when thousands of people deemed threatening to the regime were forcibly disappeared. During this period, murgas tended to align with leftist ideals, in opposition to the repressive regimes, said Kirschstein. Officials responded by barring murga performances in public streets and censoring lyrics. Political messages became more subtle as murguistas found new metaphors to circumvent the restrictions.
"During dictatorship it became a place where people could in a coded way talk about what was going on," said Kirschstein. "(Murguistas) were saying what people want to say and what they couldn't say. There are a lot of metaphors especially from that period around light, home, spring...that was the role that the murga played during the dictatorship -- giving hope."
Today murga is undergoing a renaissance. Popular musicians are integrating the traditional rhythms of candombe and other characteristic murga elements into rock, jazz and other genres. Dedicated murguista masters have introduced it to young people through neighborhood workshops, now with government support. And while many younger murguistas have abandoned some of the hard-edged political rhetoric that developed in response to dictatorship, murgas remain a venue for clever social and political commentary.
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Carnival in Argentina is February 2-24.
Look for performances in the following neighborhoods, which offer among the most authentic murga experiences. And word to the wise: Don't dress up for murga. More than likely you'll be caught in the crossfire of a popular carnival street fight involving water bombs, shaving cream and children who take no prisoners. Trust me on that.
Barracas: High-end housing and restaurants are transforming this neighborhood of old factories and barracks near the city's port area. But it retains vestiges of its working-class roots, even as it has begun to blossom as a center for art and community cultural events.
La Boca: This immigrant neighborhood maintains a rough-and-tumble reputation, but today it also has a well-established tourism industry. Sit at a sidewalk cafe with a glass of wine against a backdrop of quaint, brightly painted houses known as coventillos before taking your place to watch the local murguistas.
San Telmo: One of the oldest neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, San Telmo will meet every romantic's expectations: cobblestone streets, wrought iron balconies, antique markets and tango. The outskirts of San Telmo, away from the throngs of tourists, is a staging area for murga.
Montevideo, Uruguay
It's well worth spending a couple of days in Montevideo -- a three-hour ferry journey from Buenos Aires across the Río de la Plata.
here is under way and continues into early March.
Teatro de Verano: It's one of the most important venues for official murga competitions, but smaller open-air tablados also host cheap murga performances throughout the carnival season. It's best to buy tickets well in advance, especially if you're planning to see the top acts compete in the finals.
Barrio Sur and Palermo: Candombe drumming performances and llamadas, a call-and-response procession or parade, occur in these traditional Afro-Uruguayan neighborhoods. Like murga, they are central features of carnival, but you generally don't need a ticket.
Museo del Carnaval is a great place to learn more about the history of murga and other carnival traditions. The museum can also recommend venues for murga, candombe and llamadas.

How to Buy a Great Backpack
Backpacking expands your world, opening up vast backcountry areas for exploration beyond the reach of day hiking. But you'll have to carry your portable home on your back.
Besides boots, no piece of gear will affect how much you enjoy this activity like your backpack. Follow the Gear Guy's advice to make sure you get the right pack for your body and your adventures.
The capacity you need in a pack depends, of course, on how much stuff you want to carry. For the beginner, opt for a heavier (read: less expensive) 65-liter pack that fits one person's stuff — this is a good all-around size. Some packs in this category are fairly lightweight, yet they can comfortably carry 35 to 40 pounds.
For gear-intensive multiday trips such as mountaineering, look at 70 liters or larger. Bigger packs built for heavier loads have a more substantial suspension and more features — thus, they are typically heavier.
If you want to do some ultralight backpacking — maybe for a long-distance trek — you'll likely need a pack that's 45 to 55 liters and weighs no more than around 2.5 pounds when empty — which usually means it has minimalist features. This style of pack demands lightweight, compact gear, which can be pricier.
As a growing guy, stick to adjustable-suspension packs that can adapt to your body through the years. (Fixed-suspension bags are another option, and they are usually sold in more than one size — meaning you buy a new one when you grow out of it.)
Fitting a pack correctly is critical to comfort, and that requires knowing your torso length. Here's how to measure it:
Stand straight and place your hands on the shelf-like top of your hipbones; your thumbs will point to a spot on your lower spine. Ask someone to extend a soft tape measure (or a string to hold against a stiff measuring tape afterward) from your thumbs to the bone protruding from the base of your neck when you tilt your head forward. That's your torso length.
If your torso length falls at the top or bottom end of a pack's fit range, it is possible neither the smaller nor larger size will fit well. If you still want that pack, try on both sizes, but make sure one is comfortable — or it's not worth your money. You'll find a better fit when your torso length falls in the middle of a pack's fit range.
Expert tip: If all this measuring and pack-fitting sounds like too much, head to your local outdoors store, which could be a place like REI or a mom-and-pop shop. There you can ask an expert, who will help you find a pack that fits best.
You wouldn't buy pants without trying them on; the same goes for a backpack. Throw some weight in it and walk around.
Backpacks come in a variety of designs, differing in shape, how you open them (top-loading, one-zip panel access, roll-top), pockets and tons of other features. Don't settle for a pack that doesn't meet your needs and backpacking style.
What do you get for more money? Simply put, with backpacks, it's usually a design and more dialed-in fit that result in greater comfort, more durable materials and construction for a longer lifespan, and sometimes cutting-edge technology.
My advice: Get what you can afford — and it is worth spending for more comfort, performance and durability when you can.
All prices are MSRP — manufacturer's suggested retail price. You can often find better deals in stores or online.

We have a censor on the forum, however any words that are not caught, or tactics used to circumvent our sensor, are your own responsibility, and the appropriate action will be taken for violation of this rule.
If the word "Kitty" is a bad word.
Acceptable: *****
Unacceptable: K*tty, K****, *****ing, *****er, K!77y, Kitttay etc…
We encourage you to use our community as a forum to debate topics, but please use proper adjectives to express yourself. Just try and stay away from profanity to begin with.
Rule #4: Do not reference or promote drugs or any other illegal activities.
We do not condone discussion about taking part in any illegal activities on the forums. What people do on their own is their own business; however this is not the place to discuss such activities. If you would not mention the action to a cop, then it probably shouldn't be posted here.
Rule #5: Do not attack or retaliate against any member or group of members on the forums.
Do not harass, threaten, embarrass, or do anything else to another member or guest that is unwanted. This is referred to as flaming, and will not be tolerated.
This means: don't say bad things about them, don't keep sending them unwanted messages, don't attack their race, sexual orientation, religion, heritage, etc.
Rule #6: Treat members and their opinions with respect.
The Square Enix Forums are a place to discuss things in a friendly manner. This does not mean that everyone always has to agree on certain subjects. Natural difference of opinion can lead to quality debates and conversations; however these topics and debates get out of hand when people do not respect different opinions.
All members and reference to social groups should be treated with respect. Although this is similar to rule #5, this also extends to pushing your own personal beliefs on other people. Not everyone believes the same thing, and as long as you respect other people's opinions, you should be fine.
Example of a Bad comment:
"This is a warning to all. Repent and believe in Mooberry the Cow God, lest you drown in milk for all eternity!"
This is a bad statement because the person is pushing their belief in Mooberry on other people. This is not a topic of debate, or conversation; it's propaganda for a certain belief.
Example of an okay comment:
"I just finished reading the Gouda Doctrine, and have decided to believe in Mooberry the Cow God. Does anyone else here believe in Mooberry, or have any opinions on the matter? Intelligent discussion only please."
This is okay because now a conversation is going to be started about Mooberry. As long as people respect this person's belief in Mooberry, and he respects other people's non belief in the Cow God, the topic should be fine.
Rule #7: Post in a way so that all members are able to read the post.
This is a forum for all types of people, and posts should be written in a way so that all people may enjoy them. For the composure of these boards, only the English language may be used, with the exception of forum sections that are dedicated to a specific non-English language. Also do not post in a way that makes your post extremely difficult to read. Stay away from entire posts of 1337 speak, or extreme use of OdD cApItAlIzAtIoN. This does not mean that you can't have a few stylistic words here and there, just do not make the post entirely of the sort. Though "gangsta" speak can be lumped into this category, it for the most part readable, so is therefore allowed. Just don't go overboard. Reading posts should be a pleasure, not a chore.
Rule #8: Do not spam.
Spamming is characterized by the initiation of threads or posts that contribute nothing to a forum, be it off topic or on topic. Examples include: empty posts, bump posts, posts with few words that have no relation to the current thread of discussion, "inB4lock" posts, "Trollface" or "Facepalm" posts, and posts that state they are spam, either to annoy or increase a member's post count. The determination as to what is spam is made by a forum moderator or admin.
Before posting, think if it is actually adding to the conversation. If it is not, it probably doesn't need to be posted. Do not post for the sole purpose of adding post count. Although it is nice to have a high post count, the overall quality of the forums is degraded by people who abuse features such as those.
Rule #9: Do not double post.
Double posting is having two posts by the same member that are in a row. This is primarily used to boost your post count. Use the Edit Post feature, if you would like to add something to your previous post.
Rule #10: Do not post anything that is completely derogatory. No slam posting.
We do not tolerate "slam" posts on our forums. By slam posts, we mean posts that make statements such as:
"This product is horrible. No one should buy it!!"
"This is the worst developer, avoid at all costs!"
These types of posts will be removed. This includes "slam" posts that refer to members, moderators, developers, or games from either Square Enix or any of our competitors. This does not mean that people can not have negative feelings about something, just don't make a post for the sole purpose of bashing something into the ground.
Rule #11: Do not post any topic that is applicable to only one member of the forum. No FAO (for attention of) posts.
All topics that are made on the forum should apply to all members of the forum. Any topic directly applicable to a single member is not appropriate, and messages of that type should be communicated through the Private Message (PM) feature.
Rule #12: Do not attempt to impersonate another member of the forum.
Do not attempt to impersonate other forum members, or forum moderators/administrators. Out of courtesy to other forum users and moderators we expect you to use only one username on our forums. Please do not post email addresses, standard addresses, ICQ and other messaging client numbers, or phone numbers which are not your own. This can be a serious issue, and the appropriate action will be taken against your account.
Rule #13: Do not post any advertisements or promotions.
This forum is a place for conversation, not for advertisements. Do not post topics or messages that solicit or promote any commercial concern or transmit advertising, promotional materials, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or make any commercial use of our service.
Rule #14: Please use the appropriate forum for your topic.
The forums are set up to hold specific types of conversations. Please pay attention to the type of post you are making, and make sure that it belongs in that specific forum.
Rule #15: Do not have a signature that is in violation with the forum signature rules.
Signatures must be no bigger than 720 pixels wide and 120 pixels high.
You may choose from the following options for your signature:
- 2 lines of text in normal font size.
- 1 image and/or 1 line of text in normal font size.
- Multiple images with or without additional text which combined do not exceed 720 x 120 pixels and 150 KB.
Images may only be inserted into signatures through the [sigimage] BB code and only once you have reached Gamer status. Follow the link on the Edit Signature page in your User Control Panel for instructions on how to use the [sigimage] code.
If you violate these signature rules, your signature or your posting privileges may be temporarily or permanently disabled.
Rule #16: Do not publicly discuss administrative decisions.
The people who have been chosen to moderate and administrate the forums have the right of closing or deleting any thread they feel is inappropriate. Once a topic is closed, members are not allowed to start new ones with the same topic or to question why a specific thread has been closed.
All questions or remarks regarding closed or deleted threads or any administrative decision must be e-mailed or pm'ed privately to the moderator who performed this action. Any further discussion regarding action taken by a moderator or administrator is to be dealt with through Private Message to the appropriate administrator or moderator, and not on the forums themselves. If it is not obvious which moderator took the action in question, contact one of the administrators. Find the complete list of the forum leaders here: http://forums.eu.square-enix.com/showgroups.php
Rule #17: Do not "memberate".
If a member feels that any of these rules have been violated, there is a link on each topic to report the problematic post to a moderator or administrator. Do not take it upon yourself to dictate the rules to other members. This is also known as "memberating" and is generally perceived as highly annoying by other members and causes conflicts. Leave it to the staff to deal with problematic posts or members.
If you do not agree to these rules, please don't post. If you break these rules, we reserve the right to revoke your posting privileges. Remember, posting here is a privilege and not a right.
And lastly, enjoy yourself. This board was created so there is a place to talk about Square Enix products, and so there is a place to meet other members of the gaming community. We welcome you here, and hopefully you have a great time and become a recurring member of our community.
Any questions or comments about these rules or regulations can be sent via PM to one of the moderators. The staff will try their hardest to make this place as enjoyable as it can be for everyone here. Feel free to give suggestions on anything you would like to see implemented on the forums.

In February 2011, Borders Group, the second-largest bookstore chain in the United States, filed for bankruptcy. Shortly after, the company announced the closure of an initial 200 stores disclosing losses estimated at $2 million per day. Those avid readers who enjoy spending weekends perusing Borders bookshelves were surely saddened by this news, but clearly the way most consumers acquire and read books is changing. The growing popularity of digital books and online purchasing reportedly played a debilitating role in the Borders saga. One thing is clear—in the face of dramatically shifting client-purchasing behavior, rising debt, increasing staff and retail store expenses, the operating model that may have served Borders well in the past failed to function effectively in a rapidly evolving marketplace.
Keeping Pace with Expectations
To grow sustainably over an extended period of time, any business must consistently deliver to the needs of its target clients. This is particularly true of advisory firms. While growth requires a capable business development function, creating a fertile environment for growth further requires that, once new business is won, the firm is able to service its clients in a manner that keeps pace with client expectations.
Operations relates to a firm's ability to efficiently and effectively manage the various processes, people and systems that interact to deliver valued client outcomes. How a firm structures and manages its operations is essential for delivering on the firm's value proposition in order to retain target clients and attract more like them. A strong operational capability ensures the firm can efficiently and effectively service increasing numbers of clients. A properly structured and maintained operational capability will cater to the client experience in addition to realizing efficiencies and controlling costs.
In our most recent annual survey, The 2010 FA Insight Study of Advisory Firms: Growth by Design, clear and direct ties link operational capabilities with the quality of a firm. As regular readers will recall, we distinguish "Standout" firms at each of our four stages of development. Standouts represent the top one-third of firms at each stage according to two key criteria related to building firm value:
- The ability to generate income for owners
- The ability to grow (as measured by revenue)
Beyond these defined criteria, the most obvious performance difference further distinguishing Standout firms is disciplined management of overhead expenses, a key indicator of operational efficiency. Overhead expenses as a share of revenue are at least 10 percentage points less for Standout firms relative to other firms as shown in Figure 1 (left). Standouts do an especially good job of managing expenses related to administrative, technical and support staff. Expenditures for technology, office space and travel are also relatively low among the various overhead expense line items.
Productivity can be another sign of an operationally sound firm. Indeed, staff productivity for Standout firms is 16% to 20% greater in terms of revenue per team member. This advantage in productivity, combined with efficiencies, contributes to Standouts earning significantly more profit per client. Despite having no particular edge in terms of AUM per client, Standout firms earn a profit per client that is 2.4 to 3.5 times greater relative to other firms (Figure 2, left).
The lower expense structure and higher productivity that propels client profits are more specific signs of operational excellence, but they do not reveal much about how to achieve it. The solution starts with designing firm operations around your target client. Getting operations right also extends to thoughtful technology deployment, consistent work flow processes and an organizational structure that fully utilizes the capacity and capabilities of every team member.
Tailor Operations to the Client
A first priority is to have a laser-like focus on identifying the firm's target client and then structure firm operations around the preferred client type in a way that is tailored to the desired client experience. It is no coincidence that at every development stage Standout firms demonstrate a greater tendency to have a clearly defined target or niche market.
The result, from an operational perspective, is that Standouts are better able to fully utilize, as well as standardize, their resources. A focus on target clients limits servicing exceptions and thereby enhances firm efficiency as well as productivity. In terms of both personnel and technology, the firm only maintains those resources required to support target clients. Further, building around one preferred client type gives the firm a significant advantage in developing and implementing standardized and repeatable processes.
Deliberate Deployment of Technology
Technology is obviously important to the operational success of the firm to the extent that deployed technology allows the firm's people to efficiently carry out work flow processes in a manner that is consistent with the desired client experience. However, technology spending, per se, clearly does not differentiate Standout firms (Figure 3, below).
Rather than the level of investment or type of technology, the way technology is deployed appears to have the greatest impact on firm performance. A planned and consistent approach for evaluating the firm's ongoing information technology requirements and the assessment of technology solutions is maintained by 62% of firms overall. Standout firms at every level have a much greater tendency than other firms to have a deliberate approach to technology deployment.
Consistent Process Implementation
Work flow processes are at the heart of advisory firm operations, dictating how people and systems interact to best serve clients. Well-defined processes that are clearly understood and consistently deployed ensure efficiency, enhance productivity, control expenses, facilitate scalability and reinforce a consistent client experience.
At every stage, process consistency is a particularly clear point of differentiation for Standout firms (Figure 4, left). Surprisingly, despite their edge in process consistency, the majority of Standouts tend to cite the client experience (and not consistency) as the most important consideration in designing and developing processes. While this holds true for all firms, the tendency for firms to let the client experience define processes is stronger for Standouts. This finding suggests that combining a well-defined target market with a client-first approach to servicing is a more effective route to processing consistency than if a firm were to target consistency directly.
An Organized Organization
The "right" organizational structure tends to be specific to a firm, dependent upon its size, service model, target market and strategic objectives, among other things. Some common organizational-related themes can make important contributions to operational effectiveness, however, especially when combined with established workflow processes.
A clearly defined organizational structure can act as bedrock for productivity and efficiency by bringing clarity to the relationships between roles and providing individuals with a better sense of their own accountabilities. The structure should not be so rigid, however, that tasks cannot be readily transferred from over-capacity to under-capacity individuals on a temporary basis to better manage and balance the workload across the firm. Standout firms consistently demonstrate the ability to limit idle capacity. Across all stages for a variety of job groups, proportionately fewer Standout firms have underutilized staff. Figure 5, (above), demonstrates this in terms of support staff utilization.
An effective organizational structure also supports putting team members to their "highest and best" use. For the firm's professionals this means proper support in order for them to maximize time for revenue-generating activities. This does not necessarily mean a firm needs to spend more in order for its professionals to have more options to delegate. Despite little differences in the ratio of non-professionals per professional, Standout firms relative to others spend less on support staff as measured in terms of salary expense as a share of revenue.
Management accountability is another key ingredient for a well-functioning organizational structure and dedicated management tends to distinguish Standout firms. All firms, Standouts included, could do a better job of specifically assigning accountability for operations management. Nearly half of all firms fail to designate any team member for authority over operations.
A Long-Term Formula for Success
Whether their firm is a nationwide retailing corporation like Borders or a small advisory firm serving a local community, shareholders and management cannot afford to lose sight of the needs of their target clients. To sustain growth, advisory firm owners must be as focused on accommodating demand as they are on marketing or creating demand. Those that succeed will have a long-term formula for operational success that is predicated on the client experience. This formula will uphold the firm's value proposition while simultaneously controlling costs, realizing efficiencies and providing for future growth.

Judges, lawyers join to promote understanding of the law, courts
Madison, Wisconsin - April 26, 2012
Judges and lawyers throughout Wisconsin will celebrate Law Day on May 1 by meeting with students and the public to promote understanding of the law and the role courts in our democracy.
The theme of Law Day 2012 (external link), as selected by the American Bar Association, is No Courts, No Justice, No Freedom. The theme conveys the idea that without courts, you can't truly have justice or freedom.
As part of the celebration, the State Bar of Wisconsin's Young Lawyers Division (external link) has arranged visits between 26 volunteer lawyers and students from 17 schools. Elsewhere, students will travel to courthouses to observe court proceedings, hold a mock trial or meet with a judge to learn about the courts. In some counties, volunteer lawyers will provide free legal assistance.
"Law Day is an opportunity for everyone involved in the legal community to reach out and promote understanding of the courts and the law and to listen to people's concerns," said Wisconsin Supreme Court Chief Justice Shirley S. Abrahamson, who will participate in Law Day activities in Madison, Milwaukee and Merrill.
In Madison, Abrahamson will make opening remarks for Law Day activities at the Dane County Courthouse. Judges and lawyers will present short informative programs during an open house (external link) hosted by circuit court judges and the Dane County Bar Association. Volunteer lawyers also will be on hand to provide free legal consultations at the courthouse.
In Columbia County, circuit court Judge Alan J. White, District Attorney Jane Kohlwey, defense counsel Mark Lawton and other local attorneys have invited high school students to the courthouse for a mock trial and panel discussion.
On May 2 in Milwaukee County, Abrahamson will join Deputy Chief Judge Maxine A. White, Milwaukee County Circuit Court, Milwaukee Municipal Court Judge Derek Mosley and attorneys Mark Goldstein and Rob Ricigliano to meet with fifth and sixth graders at Maple Dale School in Fox Point. The Milwaukee Bar Association (external link) also is hosting Law Day activities, including free legal clinics.
On May 4 in Lincoln County, Abrahamson is among presenters at a law fair sponsored by the Optimist Club of Merrill. About 900 students are expected to visit booths and displays sponsored by law-related organizations.
Law Day was formally established in 1958 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower (external link) as an opportunity for everyone to recognize the importance of the law and its role in our democracy.
