How 'The Family' Controlled Tunisia
TUNIS—Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali, Tunisia's deposed president, went on trial Monday on charges of abusing state funds and drug trafficking, providing the first public accounting of the practices of a ruler whose autocratic style first triggered the Arab Spring revolution that has swept the Middle East.
Over his 23 years in power, Mr. Ben Ali—who is being tried in absentia—and his relatives amassed a fortune in banks, telecommunications firms, real-estate companies and other businesses, giving them control over as much as one-third of Tunisia's $44 billion economy, according to anticorruption group Transparency International. The family displayed its wealth by throwing extravagant parties and jet-setting among several mansions in Tunisia and overseas.
An examination by The Wall Street Journal of Tunisian criminal court papers, as well as interviews with dozens of businessmen, Ben Ali family members and politicians, reveals fresh accusations that the Ben Ali clan—known as "The Family" here—squeezed out some business rivals by exerting political pressure to win lucrative state contracts.
Mr. Ben Ali "always acted in what he considered the Tunisian people's best interest," Jean-Yves Le Borgne, a French lawyer for the former president said in a statement.
The Ben Ali family "had the power and the law on their side," says Moncef Mzabi, a Tunisian businessman who says he was forced in 2008 to sell his 3% stake in Tunisia's largest bank to one of Mr. Ben Ali's nephews. "A request amounted to an order," he says.
Some Relatives of Tunisia's President Saw Their Fortunes Rise
The nephew, who is in exile in Canada, couldn't be reached for comment. Stock-market filings show that, by late 2008, the nephew had amassed a more than 10% interest in the bank.
To stop an entrepreneur who wanted to open a new French car dealership in Tunisia, the Ben Ali government blocked some of his cars at customs for months and slapped him with 17 tax inspections, according to people familiar with the matter, including the entrepreneur, Bassem Loukil. Another businessman, Mohamed El Boussaïri Bouebdelli, says he wanted to build a new pharmacy university in Tunisia, but in a meeting at one of Mr. Ben Ali's palaces, Mr. Ben Ali said that the proceeds should be shared "50-50" with him. Mr. Bouebdelli says he abandoned the project.
At the time he was deposed in January, Mr. Ben Ali was having a $250 million Airbus long-haul aircraft fitted out in France as an official state plane with lavish interiors, according to Tunisian government officials.
Bloody protests that broke out in Tunisia in December, after a 26-year-old street vendor immolated himself to defy Mr. Ben Ali's regime, were the catalyst for the revolutionary wave across North Africa and the Middle East. Mr. Ben Ali's term ended on Jan. 14 when he was hurried into a plane by his wife, according to a person present, and fled to Saudi Arabia.
Tunisia's former president is the first deposed leader to face trial in the wake of the uprisings, but others are likely to follow. Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is due to stand trial in August on charges of murder and corruption, which he denies.
The evidence that will be brought against Mr. Ben Ali during the trial includes stashes of cash, weapons and narcotics found at two of his mansions in Tunisia, according to officials at Tunisia's justice ministry. In addition to abuse of state funds and drug trafficking, the former president will also face charges of illegal arms possession and illegal possession of precious artifacts, the officials said.
Abdesattar Massoudi, a court-appointed lawyer for Mr. Ben Ali, said he unsuccessfully pleaded for an adjournment to allow for the former president to be present. Judge Touhami Hafian said he would render his verdict on the abuse of state fund charges. Akram Azouri, a Lebanese lawyer for Mr. Ben Ali, said his client denied the charges brought against him on Monday and was "in no rush to come back to Tunisia to be made a scapegoat."
Tunisia's Justice Ministry says it has sought Mr. Ben Ali's extradition but hasn't yet received a response. Officials in Saudi Arabia didn't respond to requests for comment on extradition.
Officials from the Justice Ministry said Mr. Ben Ali will also face a future military trial for high treason, torture and murder, which can carry the death penalty in Tunisia, for having ordered police to shoot on protesters during the country's recent uprisings. Mr. Azouri said Mr. Ben Ali denies he gave such order.
No date has been set for the military-court proceedings, and charges haven't formally been brought.
Mr. Ben Ali is also the target of a probe in France. Last week, Paris prosecutors said they had launched an investigation into alleged money laundering by the former president and would examine whether Mr. Ben Ali owned assets in France acquired with state funds.
Before the probe was launched, Mr. Ben Ali's lawyer said his client "owns no real estate, no money in bank accounts in France or in any other foreign country."
The former president's trial is part of Tunisia's halting attempt to create a modern democracy following a month of protests. Despite the fall of their leader, many Tunisians are still taking to the streets daily to push for better job opportunities and social benefits. One Tunisian interim prime minister has already resigned in the face of popular protest.
Administrators who are freezing assets of more than 100 Ben Ali family members say they are uncovering an economic network so vast that untangling it too quickly could disrupt Tunisia further. Instead of closing down businesses owned by Mr. Ben Ali's relatives, for example, authorities are in most cases allowing them to operate under court-appointed managers.
"No crime will be left unpunished," Tunisia's new interim Prime Minister Béji Caïd Essebsi said in a recent television speech. "But Tunisians must be patient."
When he took power in 1987 through a bloodless coup, Mr. Ben Ali, a graduate of the U.S. Army Intelligence School in Fort Holabird, Md., inherited a country where the state controlled much of the economy, from agriculture to tourism and textiles. Privatization of these formerly state-controlled businesses formed the base of Mr. Ben Ali's and his relatives' future wealth.
Among the examples: Marouane Mabrouk, one of Mr. Ben Ali's son-in-laws, won a public auction in 2000 to acquire a controlling stake in Le Moteur, a state company that distributes Mercedes cars in Tunisia. He also won a government license to set up Tunisia's first broadband-cellphone network.
Mr. Mabrouk's assets have been frozen by Tunisia's interim authorities, pending judicial investigation into their origin. A person familiar with Mr. Mabrouk's situation said the businessman, who still lives in Tunisia, was confident he would prove that all his investments had been lawful and that there is "no such thing as a crime of being a relative."
The Ben Ali family expanded when the Tunisian president, who had divorced from his first wife, in 1992 married his long-time mistress Leila Trabelsi, the daughter of a shopkeeper and an employee of a Turkish bath in Tunis's medina. Ms. Trabelsi's 10 siblings are also considered part of "The Family."
Soon after the nuptials, Belhassen Trabelsi, one of the first lady's brothers, emerged as a deal-maker. In particular, Mr. Trabelsi bought acres of previously state-owned land along the Mediterranean coast and later sold property to developers, according to relatives and Tunisian government officials. With the money, he invested in hotels and launched a charter airline called Karthago.
Three years ago, Mr. Trabelsi turned to the financial world. Banque de Tunisie, one of the country's largest private-sector companies, had made a name for itself throughout the Maghreb for its rigorous lending policy and independence from the Tunisian government.
In March 2008, the bank's then-chairman disclosed that he was terminally ill and that he was working on a long-term strategic plan aimed at keeping the bank independent after he had passed on. Before the plan materialized, however, the bank got a sudden change in management. Alia Abdallah, wife of Mr. Ben Ali's then-foreign-affairs minister, came to the bank's headquarters in central Tunis and informed staff that she was the new boss, according to several executives who were there.
The bank's board had no say, and three members who voiced their opposition were sidelined. A new board was formed, and its members included Mr. Trabelsi and two of his business associates. "They took control of the bank and there was no possible resistance," says Ilyès Jouini, a board member who says he was pushed out.
Taoufik Baccar, head of Tunisia's central bank at the time, says the decision to name Ms. Abdallah was Mr. Ben Ali's. Mr. Trabelsi, who has fled to Canada where he has filed an asylum claim, couldn't be reached. Ms. Abdallah couldn't be reached for comment. Messages left on her husband's cellphone and questions passed on to relatives, were unanswered.
The Ben Ali family widened again in 2004, when Nesrine Ben Ali, one of the presidential couple's daughters, married Sakher El Materi.
Mr. El Materi, the son of a general who kept a tiger in his villa, saw his business wealth increase considerably after the nuptials. He first made money by investing in and reselling companies that were being privatized. In 2006, he used some of the proceeds to invest in the Tunisian unit of Swiss food group Nestlé SA, buying a 41% stake in the dairy company from state-controlled Banque Nationale Agricole SA for 3.6 million Tunisian dinars ($2.6 million at current rates), according to legal filings.
Nestlé says it didn't get a say in the deal. "This transaction was conducted without our knowledge and in violation of our rights of first refusal," said Nestlé spokesman Robin Tickle. A BNA official declined to comment. Mr. El Materi, who has left Tunisia, couldn't be reached for comment.
About 18 months later, Mr. El Materi sold the Nestlé-Tunisie stake to Nestlé for 35 million Tunisian dinars, according to legal filings. Nestlé declined to comment on the purchase.
Since then, Mr. El Materi has founded a bank, bought a 25% stake in Tunisia's second-largest telecom operator, started construction of a port for cruise ships, gotten elected to parliament and acquired a media group. "One may envy his status as son-in-law of the president, but no-one can denigrate him by implying that he only owes his success to his stepfather," reads a biography of Mr. El Materi posted on his website.
In the mid-2000s, several changes were introduced in Tunisia's constitution to allow Mr. Ben Ali to seek re-election and to grant him lifetime judicial immunity. Meanwhile, the wealth and influence of the Ben Ali family made it difficult for others do business in the country, according to a number of people who knew them.
In 2005 for example, Mr. Loukil, the car importer, began negotiating with French auto company PSA Peugeot Citroën SA to distribute cars in Tunisia. Mr. Loukil says Mr. Trabelsi wanted to join forces with him in the Citroën partnership, but Mr. Loukil refused. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Loukil says he faced 17 inspections from Tunisia's tax authorities and his cars were blocked at customs for having 10 seats.
"There is no such thing as a ten-seat car," Mr. Loukil said in a recent interview in Tunis.
Around the same time, Mr. Bouebdelli, head of a private foundation that runs several schools in Tunisia, went to the Carthage Palace to see Mr. Ben Ali and discuss his plans for a new pharmacy university. "Ok," Mr. Ben Ali said, knocking on the table with the back of his hand, according to Mr. Bouebdelli. "But it's 50-50." Mr. Bouebdelli says he shelved the project.
Some of Mr. Ben Ali's relatives got into trouble abroad. In 2007, a French investigating magistrate issued an international arrest warrant for Imed Trabelsi, one of Ms. Trabelsi's nephews, on charges that he ordered the theft of a 54-foot yacht that belonged to a Lazard Frères investment banker.
Tunisia has denied the extradition to France of Mr Trabelsi, who has denied the charges. The case was dropped after Tunisian authorities returned the yacht to the banker.
"The yacht was in perfect shape," the banker, Bruno Roger, said in an interview. "Only the dinghy was missing."
In addition to Mr. Ben Ali's trial, Tunisia's interim government is now sifting through corruption accusations filed by Tunisians against Mr. Ben Ali and his relatives. Every weekday in central Tunis, hundreds of people queue in front of a bank building that hosts Tunisia's special anticorruption committee. Among the recent complaints: a group of teachers claimed they had to pay bribes to get a job, and a group of shop owners claimed they had to pay commissions to get their goods through customs.

Cold Weather and Hot Chocolate
Of all the wonders of winter that we enjoyed growing up in Ohio hot chocolate has to be one of the best. Coming in from the freezing cold to find a steaming cup of cocoa waiting for you is a wonderful feeling. Today we find hot chocolate becoming a bit of a trend among adults with an emphasis on quality that we didn't get when I was a kid. Hot chocolate came out of a packet with crunchy little marshmallows in it and more often than not was made with hot water and maybe - if you were lucky - a dash of milk as an afterthought. Today we are talking about real hot chocolate full of - pinch me - real chocolate and actual milk. Ah, heavenly.
I have a handful of articles to share today on the subject of the trendiness of hot chocolate and even an alternative to it.
First up USA Today has a write up of 10 great places to savor exquisite hot chocolate. Tartine Bakery catches my eye with their use of Scharffen Berger chocolate (which is absolutely excellent stuff). None of the places are anywhere in my neighborhood or I'd run out to give them a try.
Next up is CNN Money with their article Best hot chocolate which takes a general look at the growth of gourmet hot chocolate.
Our local paper, The Columbus Dispatch, gives a nod to our local chocolatier, Pure Imagination, who is now offering up hot chocolate. If the picture is any indication it is thick. I may be forced to go and give it a shot. There is good sushi to be found close by and a trip to get both makes for a nice lunch.
Lastly I offer up a peculiarity: Hot Vanilla. The headline for the article claims that it puts chocolate to shame (blasphemy!). I think that recipe sounds good, but until I try it I'll remain skeptical as to it's superiority over chocolate.

After spending weeks battling Ebola, Dallas nurse Nina Pham has her health back. And her dog.
On Saturday morning, Pham was reunited with Bentley, the brown and white Cavalier King Charles spaniel who has become an international celebrity.
Full Story »
NBC5's Meredith Land has landed an exclusive interview with the two faces of Dallas' Ebola response, County Judge Clay Jenkins and Mayor Mike Rawlings. It will be broadcast Thursday at 6 and 10 p.m.
Showing great candor, the two men speak of the challenges and frustrations both professional and extremely personal.
Republican Ron Natinsky says the Dallas GOP will be better off if residents in a southern Dallas congressional district "spend their food stamp money" on Election Day instead of voting.
Natinsky, a candidate for Dallas County judge, made the remark last November during a meeting of the Coppell Republican Club. A video of his appearance was on the club's website for months but was taken down Tuesday once a report about it appeared on dallasnews.com.
Dallas County Judge Clay Lewis Jenkins began his first term in office on January 1, 2011. A first-time public official, Judge Jenkins brings business acumen, legislative experience, and an unparalleled commitment to the office of County Judge. He is the President of Jenkins & Jenkins, a successful law practice with offices in Dallas and Waxahachie.

NEW DELHI: India's most-successful woman chief minister is fighting her toughest electoral battle despite her unquestionable expertise in deploying tools of power in the battlefield. Sheila Dikshit's crafty rivals in the Congress corridors may have worked to sabotage Congress' reelection in Delhi.
Party colleagues who still give Dikshit a chance to better her record say the credit, if she wins, should go to her never-saydie spirit and her army of loyal Congress MLAs fighting in their respective turfs.

LOS ALAMITOS, CA, November 24. USA Water Polo has announced the roster for the 2005 FINA Junior Women's World Championship in Perth, Australia, January 24-30, 2005.
Head coach Kyle Utsumi listed the squad this week in Los Alamitos (Calif.). The FINA Junior Women's World Championships will take place It will be the first FINA-sanctioned event of the new Olympic cycle.
Utsumi, the former U.S. National Youth Team coach, has been working with most of these athletes since 2002, but it was difficult to nail down his 2004-05 roster from the 24 he has been carrying since May. The final roster features 13 athletes, plus two alternates.
"This hasn't been easy," he said. "But I believe we have an experienced team capable of fighting through tough situations and I think we're going to be very competitive. We've been working together for a while so now with the roster finalized, we can start to focus on our roles on the team."
Experience will definitely be a key for Utsumi's 13. Six players will be playing in their second Junior World Championships, with one—Emily Feher (Santa Ana, CA/UCLA/SoCal)—heading for her third. Gabbie Domanic (Santa Ana, CA/UCLA/SoCal), the lefthander that competed with the 2003 World Champion team in Barcelona and was later named as the Olympic alternate for the Athens Games, will be playing in her second. Feher and Domanic were both members of the team that captured gold at the 2001 Junior Worlds, also held in Perth.
Also keeping a close eye on the team and its progress will be U.S. National Team head coach Guy Baker.
"The first Junior Worlds of the quad is extremely important," said Baker. "We want to see who can compete at the senior level and possibly make the leap as we look ahead to Beijing 2008."
The team features two players from outside of California in Alison Gregorka (Ann Arbor, MI/Stanford) and Elsie Windes (Portland, OR/Cal Berkeley/Tualatin Hills). Windes selection to the team is also a benchmark in the progress of the Women's National Team for Baker and company in that she is the first player selected to a National Team after being identified at a P.A.C.E. (Programs for Athletes and Coaches Education) Clinic. Windes was pegged for the National Team level for her performance at the Corvallis clinic in October in 2002.
The Junior World Championships will take place in Perth, Australia, January 24-30, 2005. The U.S. will have a tough bracket to contend with when play opens there. In addition to 2008 Olympic host China, the U.S. will have to contend with historical provens Russia and Hungary.

Online advertising weathering the recession
Unfortunately in these times, one of the cut backs companies make is on their advertising spend. Traditional advertising through newspapers, magazines, TV and radio are all seeing a reduction in spend, with things only picking up slightly into 2010.
But online advertising is actually on the increase, with figures for 2009 expected to be between 8% and 10% in positive growth.
One of the benefits of online advertising is its pay-as-you-go approach.
With Google adwords, setting daily limits to your click-throughs, and also having the ability to pause or pull the plug in an instant allows for careful spending.
With traditional advertising, much larger fees need to be called on in one, pre-campaign, lump sum.
Another positive to online advertising is the ability to track where click-throughs have come from, using something like Google Analytics. Understanding exactly who your customerbase is key to your success as a business.

Guitarmy of One
Seattle crime reporters recently unearthed an incident that had police fending off a local guitar enthusiast and his swinging ax. Reports say guests at a Seattle motel were greeted by a creepier-than-Norman-Bates man who, after staring them down earlier, allegedly doused their car with baking soda later that day. Upon discovering the mess, the guests were asked by their new friend if they had "a fucking problem." The man attacked the guests, clad only in his boxers, chasing them down the street and screaming like a "crazy man," according to the two victims.
When police arrived, the man was holding his guitar like a bat; when told to drop his weapon, the man charged the cops, swinging his guitar, but he ran into his front door before he could do any damage. Cops re-entered to find the poor fella distraught and hunched over his presumably broken ax before they arrested him. So that's what the guitar player from Candlebox is doing these days.
A 'Moment'ary Lapse of Reason
Congratulations to the Duke Blue Devils for crushing the spirits of the Butler Bulldogs and winning their 500,000th championship. That noise you heard Monday night around 11:30 p.m.
was a harmonious, simultaneous, countrywide muttering of "Fuck Duke." The best things about the NCAA tourney are the amazing buzzer-beaters, watching the Cinderellas shock the world and placing bets on how long it will take a vein on Bob Huggins' forehead to pop out. (For that last West Virginia game, if you had "32 seconds into the first half," you're a winner!).
The least shining moment of the tourney each year? CBS's curious insistence on using the schmaltzy, ghastly song "One Shining Moment" during its closing melodramatic montage featuring the ups and downs of the season. Not sure if CBS signed some multi-year contract with the song's publisher or if the song's writer is Brent Musburger's nephew or something, but every year it comes back and, despite trying different vocalists, it still drips with more cheese than an outdoor Velveeta sculpture in August.
It's so bad it makes us want to buzzer-beat the crap out of whoever is responsible. Even Jennifer Hudson, a great singer, couldn't make it sound any less like a Kenny G/Michael Bolton/ Trans Siberian Orchestra/'80s-TV-show-theme-songcomposer collaboration in her new version this year.
Our suggestion: Either let Danger Mouse do a mash-up version of it mixed with songs from The White Album or find a better song. It wouldn't be hard to do.
Chinese Idiocracy
The political climate in the U.S. right now is as contentious as it has ever been (except for maybe during that whole Civil War thing). Conservatives have been throwing hissy fits about President Obama's political actions because it's just "government meddling in our personal lives!" — though things like anti-gay legislation and The Patriot Act are deemed vital to the survival of our society? — while Democrats seem incapable of employing the same bullying tactics they suffered through during the W. years. It's easy to get frustrated (see: The Tea Party), but look at it with some perspective: At least we can still go see Bob Dylan in concert.
Despite undoubtedly being called a Communist innumerable times during his storied career, China's ministry of culture has declined to give Dylan permission to play Beijing and Shanghai. The ban is believed to be due to the legend's past affiliation with the counter-cultural movement of the '60s, Bjork's pro-Tibet statements during a concert in China two years ago and possibly the Victoria's Secret commercial in which Bob creepily starred.
In response, Dylan announced he would be removing all John Woo movies from his DVD collection and has deleted the carryout number for his favorite Chinese restaurant, Egg Foo Yummy, from his cell phone.

The court will grant a dissolution of marriage according to the following grounds:
No Fault Based Grounds:Irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.
Fault Based Grounds:Evidence which indicates that either party is mentally ill and lacks the ability to consent to a dissolution of marriage. This includes temporary incapacity caused by alcohol and drug abuse. (Nebraska Statutes - Chapter 42 - Sections: 361, 362)
Every dissolution of marriage case that is filed in the state of Nebraska must declare the grounds in which the dissolution of marriage is to be granted. The grounds for dissolution of marriage must be substantiated with evidence or testimony otherwise the court may dismiss the case.

Mike has his arms full with all sorts of good, clean fun.
Our proverbial hats have been tipped ever since Mike "The Situation" entered a rehab program to deal with his pill addiction (TMZ broke the story back in March). We've been impressed with his commitment to stay clean, but now that he's heading back to the "Jersey Shore" house to film Season 6, people have been wondering how the party guy can maintain his pledge to hang sober.
Well, judging by these new pics of Sitch unpacking his car at the famed Seaside residence, he's got a well thought-out plan of action.
Along with the rolling suitcases carrying Mike's go-to neon tanks and pimp-daddy loafers is a sporting goods store's worth of endorphin-spiking equipment, from an outdoor beach volleyball to a shiny new basketball…and some sort of street scooter that could end up functioning as the designated driver's rig. Idle time is indeed the devil's playground!
Meanwhile, it appears as if he's already been directing his addictive tendencies towards the healthier act of pumping serious iron–would you look at those guns!!!
Pauly welcomes Mike back to the house with a big ol' hug.

Gov. Charlie Crist said he doesn't remember if he contacted the White House about getting Kendrick Meek to drop out of the U.S. Senate race and said it doesn't matter.
"They were just interested in staying up with what was going on. I'm not going to get into the back and forth about it. I think it's been well-reported. The story that's out this morning it's true and accurate," the independent candidate told reporters at a campaign stop in Panama City this morning.
Crist denied reports that he would caucus with the Democrats if Meek dropped out of the race and said he can't remember who initiated talks with President Obama's administration.
"I really can't remember and it really doesn't matter. What matters is what the people of Florida want…This is a Florida decision for Floridians to decide what they want -if they want an extremist like Marco Rubio or if they want a common-sense candidate like Charlie Crist. That's really what it comes down to," the former Republican said.
The race between Meek, Crist and Republican Marco Rubio has dominated the news since yesterday's reports that former President Bill Clinton tried to get Meek to drop out of the race. Crist said he has spoken with White House officials about the matter but declined to divulge names.
An angry Meek appeared on national news programs insisting he will not drop out of the race and created a furor within the Democratic Party on the state and national level.
"It's very disappointing that the governor knows more about this than I do," he said on the Tom Joyner Morning Show. "He called the White House. He called the Clinton people. He called me.
"And guess what? When he called me, when he caught up with me at a conference two or three days ago, I told the governor: 'Let me tell you something. If your pathway to victory is me getting out of the race, then you're not going to win.' "
He concluded: "I'm in this race to win."
Crist, for his part, dismissed critics who claim he leaked the story in the final days of early voting and days before the Election to gain a political advantage.
"We're not causing trouble. We're causing freedom," Crist said..

Consumers Moral Obligation to Boycott Products
CONSUMERS MORAL OBLIGATION TO BOYCOTT PRODUCTS - There is never a day that goes by without someone or some group calling on the public to boycott a certain product or indeed a range of products produced by a certain country.
We humans like to think of ourselves as moral and that sense of morality will enrage us to such a point where we will take action against those we deem immoral, but how true is this and how effective is our boycotting actions?
I can tell you right off the bat that most people's morals will be set firmly aside if it affects our income or indeed the prices that we pay for our goods. I am afraid that for most of us we couldn't care less if a five year old child was living in appalling conditions, barely able to afford food and working 15 hours a day in a sweat shop, providing the shirt that child produced could cover our backs at a cheap price.
Seriously, when was the last time you checked the label on anything your bought to see where it was made, by whom and in what conditions? Of course you don't care because it's cheap and providing you don't see it then your moral voice won't be sitting on your shoulder telling you what a despicable human being you are.
It wasn't that long ago that Apple Inc. came under fire for the manufacturing processes of its iPhone and iPad. The reports, at the time, depicted images of hundreds of Chinese workers, in almost slave like conditions, sweating over the production of these products for just a few dollars a day. What was the reaction of the public? Well this was predictable with the usual calls for a product boycott and even went further to ask why Apple Inc., wasn't producing its products at home.
The truth of the matter is actually quite complex, so let me break it down so that it's easy to understand why Apple Inc., and many other companies produce your goods abroad:
For starters Apple Inc. is fully aware that manufacturing is much cheaper, and a lot easier, in China than it is in the U.S. Just look at the simple facts that China doesn't have the stringent laws, or at least doesn't enforce them, on employers as we do in the West. The ability to cut out the Unions and Government red tape saves Apple Inc., and all the other manufacturers, millions of dollars every year, which is designed to reap greater dividends for shareholders and provide you with a much cheaper product.
Thanks to your own greed, and that of any other consumer, you have basically destroyed your own manufacturing base, and this is not just a trait attributed to the U.S, this problem has spread like a disease across the western world, due to our selfish need to obtain the goods, we want, at the lowest possible price.
When you look at large companies, such as Apple Inc., doing business in China also has a number of very other lucrative benefits, and none are more prevalent than having access to a potential customer base of over 1.3 billion people. Do you honestly think that China would allow Apple products on the shelves if it wasn't employing Chinese workers to produce them, regardless of the conditions in which they are produced?
Just remember this… next time you have a bitch and a moan about China and how it is now ruling the world and the problems the Chinese Government are causing Western Governments, find yourself a mirror and give yourself a nice pat on the back because your greed and interference in how companies are run, generally through the mouthpiece of the unions, is directly responsible for the destruction of western industry. Well done!
By now I'm guessing many people reading this will have closed the page, because the truth about their own morality is a little hard to swallow. For those of you with real mortal fortitude there is more to come.
Tourism – this is where we really fail and all morals are put aside, not necessarily in the pursuit of saving money, but more in the pursuit of enjoying ourselves and making ourselves feel good.
It was over a year ago and I was having a conversation about visiting Thailand. One of the groups has recently returned home after 6 years of living there. After listening to over 3 hours of all the horror stories I was completely flabbergasted as to why anyone would want to visit Thailand as a tourist destination.
For some of course the lure of its world class sex tourism is just too much an opportunity to pass up and this is in a country where prostitution is outlawed under the Thai Governments Morality Laws. Well I can tell you that the Thai Government doesn't have any morals, in fact I suspect you would be hard pressed to find a minister who could spell the word.
Again, Thailand's morals are set aside due to the vast sums of money that is made annually from tourism. It is inconsequential if a 5 year old girl is roaming around the sex bars at 2 am trying to sell flowers to foreign men for the prostitutes they are engaging with at the time – this child, as far as the authorities are concerned is getting money off the western tourists and that is the entire goal of Thai Tourism.
One of the stories, that I am unable to confirm, but certainly doesn't surprise me after all the research I have done on Thailand's Tourist Industry, is that of 5 Bangkok Police Officer who were caught running a Child Slave Ring. The torment these children, ranging from 3 to 9 years of age were simply horrific.
According to the story, these 5 Bangkok Police Officers, all fairly high ranking officers, would smuggle children across the border from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Those who were pretty enough went straight into prostitution while the others were put on the streets to beg from the tourists. For some of the unfortunate souls if they didn't make sufficient money each day for their owners they would get a severe beating and in many cases have a hand or a foot cut off in order to gain even more sympathy from passing tourists.
The case did go to court, as I am told, where each of the Police Officers were found not guilty and released to continue their illegal trade. Why with such overwhelming evidence were they found not guilty? The simple truth is that in a country as corrupt as Thailand is it impossible for anyone to point the finger at anyone else without being implicated directly or indirectly to another incident and so, the wheels of corruption turn and providing the money rolls in then morality is firmly set aside.
So whose fault is it that these children suffer? Well it's the fault of any tourist visiting Thailand. Without your desire to have a good time by visiting, Thailand wouldn't be able to have access to your money, therefore negating the need or benefit from putting these children at risk. So you can see, simply by booking your trip to Thailand you are responsible for fueling this type of behaviour just to satisfy the greed of others.
Recently and again attributed directly to Thailand, there was a call by a number of consumer groups to boycott the purchasing of 'Red Bull'. The call came after the heir, to the Red Bull fortune, killed a police officer on the streets of Bangkok while driving his Ferrari at over 200 kph while high on cocaine and alcohol.
In typical Thai fashion he didn't stop but fled home where he, and his parents, devised a plan to pin this one of the household staff – who through servitude agreed to such a plot. It all came out in the end and as usual the Thai Authorities were adamant that he would be brought to justice. The end result, a 3 million Thai Baht (US$97,000) payment to the family of the police officer and the whole thing went away. Money and greed once again side stepped any moral fortitude anyone might have had. As for the boycott of Red Bull… nope I still see many of us drinking the brand.
It would be interesting to see how many of you who have read this will think twice about buying an Apple produce, Red Bull or booking your next vacation to Thailand. I would strongly suspect that if it allows you to communicate effectively at the right price, quenches your thirst at the right price and you can have a good time at the right price then your morals will also be set aside just so that you alone are satisfied regardless to the consequences to others.
We do have the power to make a difference to other lives but only if we are able to put aside our own greed and needs and just stop to think of the consequences of our actions. Remember next time you read an article that fuels your sense of morality try and do something constructive with it. If you do know of a particular case or cause then feel free to write about it and publish it on Meebal.com.

I am all for a global economy, but do agree that too many products are imported. If I was pressed to name things in my home that were made in the USA, I could rattle off less than 10 and 4 of them would be family members. I do not see things changing in these foreign countries due to corrupt governments and an oppressed labor force. Change if it were to occcur would need to be initiated from the outside and honestly, I don't see the U.N. being up to the challenge

Spotlight on the District—Florida
For as long as I can remember, purchasing a home has been celebrated as a pivotal point in one's life, as a sign of prosperity and personal success. One of our goals as a society has been to make it possible for more people to achieve the American dream of homeownership. And while we've been successful in bringing the percentage of homeowners to new heights, the causes for this shift are difficult to pinpoint.
According to the U.S. Census, the national homeownership rate was approximately 63 percent in 1965 and remained fairly stable for the next thirty years. However, in the mid-90s a housing boom raised the percentage of those owning homes higher each year until it topped out at close to 70 percent in 2005. More than 12 million joined the roster of new homeowners in just over a decade.
Exactly what has caused this rapid increase? The answer varies, depending upon whom you ask. Some studies indicate that lower interest rates allowed more people to enter the housing market. From the late 1980s through the early 1990s, interest for fixed-rate mortgages hovered around 10 percent. By the mid-1990s, rates began dropping rapidly, bottoming out at just over 5 percent for a fixed 30-year mortgage in 2002.
Other studies indicate that the aging of the population has been a strong factor in higher levels of homeownership. According to a study from the San Francisco Fed, a greater percentage of Baby Boomers compared to past generations have entered the housing market. The study additionally shows a direct correlation between longer lifespans and higher homeownership rates.
We have also seen a dramatic shift in the types of mortgage products on the market. In a testimony before the Senate Banking Committee in February 2007, the Government Accountability Office estimated that the proportion of nontraditional mortgages rose from 10 to 30 percent of the mortgage market between 2003 and 2005.
Federal agencies have expressed concern about risks inherent in several nontraditional mortgage products. A recent statement proposed on subprime mortgage lending practices highlights potential risks associated with particular adjustable rate mortgage products including interest-only loans and option ARMs; simultaneous first and second mortgages called "piggy back" loans; and products that do not require verification of income or assets, known by the industry as "low doc" or "no doc" loans.
Whether the higher homeownership rate is primarily due to an environment of lower interest rates, to people getting older and living longer, or to the creation of new mortgage products is unclear to me. One thing that's certain is that the mortgage industry has changed dramatically and will probably continue to evolve. While a larger percentage of families in the U.S. enjoy the American Dream today than ever before, risks are also greater as marketplace complexities increase. One of the biggest challenges ahead is to manage risk in a way that promotes and preserves housing opportunities.

text: This was my first Eagleman experience since 2005. Ironically I had a DNF in 2005 due to a plantar fasciitis tear suffered in training and I knew going in I would not be running. This was the year before AV became official. I decided to do the AV because I knew the run could be difficult. At the time I thought it was a smart move. On Saturday Lizzy, Kate, and Laura stayed at our Bethany place. We stopped by the awesome expo, racked our bikes, saw friends, and headed east for a relaxing evening of grilled chicken and corn. Up at 3:30 we were driving by 4:30. Should have left sooner. It was a little tense. We got to the shuttle and Vigo had mucho busses. We got to transition with 30 minutes to set up and pump up. Lynn L one of our MidMD volunteers was nice enough to put my endurolytes on my bike as I had forgotten to leave them.Went to the MMTC tent to wait…and wait…a new experience for a person accustomed to the wave after elite amateurs. I ate, drank, watched Susie Serpico transition out of the swim. Finally 8:20 rolled around Lizzy went off. I noticed that the early morning calmness of the water had morphed into the more usual choppiness of the name. No wetsuit because I knew I would be too hot. The water felt great but there was definitely a current. I had to fight to keep the buoys on my right . A male swimmer kept getting so close I finally did a little sprint at the orange turn buoy and got ahead or at least away from him. The rest of the swim was uneventful. I enjoyed it knowing it would be the coolest part of the day. I almost missed the last buoy because I was sighting ahead to the finish, but was able to swim by it before actually passing it. Swim was 51:50 I think. It didn't feel that slow but the current and wind added to the challenge of it. Oh and I think I got stung by a jelly fish but that turned out to be minor considering what happened.I got into transition. Dried the feet no sox, realized I'd been wearing my sunglasses at the (awesome) MMTC tent Thanks Dawn etal. It was too late to do anything about it. It didn't seem to bother me. Knocked back some gel; sprayed some sun block; shoes; helmet go. I stopped at the run mile 8 portopot. Pristine. I was the first user. My bike computer wasn't registering mph so I fiddled with it and it seemed to work but then didn't. I had the Garmin. After passing returning runners and bikers over the first 7 miles or so I was alone on the bike course. I recently had the custom bike fit and a new saddle (thanks Stoney and Princeton). I felt great. It was hot, but I was drinking G/ade and eating gels. Really thought I was ok. Started passing a few relay or A/Vers ahead of me. I'm in my aero bars thinking "I'm so comfortable I could fall asleep!" I had suffered through the Six Pillars century pre-fit and I was enjoying the new fit. I skipped hydration at the first water stop. After reading Mark Yost's report, I realize that was a huge mistake. This was no ordinary day and few had an opportunity to acclimate (although I rode 56 at the beach on the hot Memorial Day weekend). I knew the course. We had trained on it. After the left turn past the Marina there is a beautiful stretch with water on both sides and some gorgeous scenery. I said I'm going to enjoy this stretch. Then it was back in the aeros. I rode up to the intersection and thought, " I can make the turn in my aeros". As I turned, I was wide, wider, on the far shoulder… I ran out of road and went down. I don't remember the impact.So-My number came up at Eagleman.. After 13 years of triathlon races with nary a flat tire, and a decent 1.2 mile swim in the Choptank, I ran out of road trying to make the turn in my aero bars at mile 40 of the 56 mile bike course. That is something I would not have attempted had I not been impaired by heat exhaustion. It was 95 degrees. Some said the tarmac was 107! The EMT told me I wasn't even sweating when I initially denied the heat exhaustion. The usual cyclist injury ensued- broken collarbone. I initially wanted to get back on my bike but the EMT pointed out my cracked helmet and I knew my race was over. The EMT,Sean, inserted an IV and took me to the hospital. They contacted Race Directors Keri E. and Vigo and they saw to it that my bike got back to transition. They also notified Lizzy who had just finished. I got a ride back with Larry, a friend of Lizzy's who collapsed after the bike leg. The ER was full of fallen triathletes. The ER folks were very nice and helpful. Got an x-ray and a diagnosis just like that. Everyone was so helpful back at transition helping us get packed up and on the road. Kate McDowell you are a hero. Ditto Susie Montoya. Larry and Antoine from DC brought me back to the race. If I forgot you I still thank you. It was a bit blurry. I got a pain pill.On Monday I saw Dr. Joe Layug, the orthopedic surgeon who is also a triathlete based on a recommendation that I got from the Yahoo group. (thanks Aleah for posting). I have a nice clean break that will heal with tincture of time. I will have to keep my arm immobilized for several weeks to promote new bone growth. I have learned that if you engage in sports there will be injuries at times. People fall down their steps, step off curbs, and break their foot. Accidents happen everywhere. I plan to return to triathlon,. It was my mistake in failing to hydrate properly so I plan to return a little wiser. I learned a lot from Mark Yost's race report. I am so glad it was me and not Lizzy who took the tumble. She fnished in just under 6 hours. Congratulations to everyone who finished. It is an accomplishment.Next year I'll do the Tri

Well tell me if you have heard this before: The Cleveland Cavaliers are hoping for a good draw in NBA Draft Lottery. After another lackluster season, the Cavaliers have another chance at getting the number one pick in the June draft. They hold the ninth best odds of getting the top pick with a 1.7% chance. While getting the first pick this year is not quite as important as years past, the Cavs are wishing on their lucky star for a the ping-pong balls to bounce their way once again.
The 2014 NBA Draft is full of exciting talent who could change the course of a NBA organization. It will have a lot of players who can make an instant impact for a team next year. Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, and Joel Embiid lead the talented 2014 group. After these first top three players, there is a good amount of players who could end up being all-star level players. Many experts believe it is one of the better drafts overall in recent years. It is a big improvement over the past couple drafts where only a few players have made an impact for their respective teams. So the Cavaliers will not be in a bad spot if they do not get into one of the top three spots.
The Cavaliers are most likely not going to get in the top three picks this year. This makes the draft a different situation for them. They could possibly use this draft pick as an asset in a trade for a big time player like Kevin Love. The trade might be the best route for the team if they stay in the lower lottery. There will be opportunities for the Cavaliers to finally use their many assets to get the second piece to go along with Kyrie Irving. The team must get more production out of this year's pick either in the player they draft or in the trade. The team is in not in the position to get a player who will need time to grow before getting any production.
Even with this being a good draft class, it just doesn't have the excitement of previous years for Cavs fans because of the consistent losing even with all of these top picks. Fans are tired of hoping for a good draw because they have seen the prior ones not pay off for the Cavaliers in the win column. It seems like it's a constant cycle of excitement around the draft and then same old losing with no real improvement. The Cavaliers must change this cycle and the lottery can be the start of the big change.
The Cavaliers organization has at least begun the change with how they are going to the NBA Lottery. They are not making it a party with a big entourage ready to burst with excitement if they win the draw; they are just sending general manager David Griffin and vice chairman Jeff Cohen, leaving Machine Gun Kelly and the bow ties back in Cleveland. The organization knows that there is no celebration in being a part of the lottery and knowing that they have had another losing season. They are treating the lottery as business and another part of the offseason process. They cannot put all of the energy and hope in this lottery because they have other areas that can help address their team. The extension of Kyrie Irving, the trade market, and free agency are the areas that can be better options for the Cavaliers in trying to win now.
The NBA lottery is tonight and the hope for getting the top pick is again on the minds of the Cavaliers. The fans will be watching intently to see if somehow the Cavs get the right draw again and get the number one pick in the draft. But this is not like the previous years where the team was still in the developing and rebuilding for the future phase. The Cavs are in the win-now mode and they must focus on getting players who can make an instant impact. The team must make winning on the court more important then winning in offseason. This offseason is one of the biggest for the Cavaliers in recent memory. They must get their roster fixed and ready to compete for the playoffs. So let's all hope for a good draw and, more importantly, for a winning team.

As a civic scholar, Victoria Emm C'17 has worked with adults with dementia, taught children with developmental disorders and raised awareness about LGBT issues and equal rights. She experienced a different kind of public service, however, as a summer intern for U.S. Senator Cory Booker. "I learned the function of federal offices, my position on politics and the many ways I can influence change in the future," Emm explained. The Toms River, N.J. resident worked in constituent services for the senator. Her tasks included advocating for residents of his district, writing memos about international and domestic issues and participating in events, such as one announcing the awarding of a federal grant to the East Orange Fire Department.
Civic Scholar Gabriella Bisconti C'16 has done many internships in her time at Drew. Gabi has interned for Josopeh R. Patenaude Theater, New York Women in Film and Television, Night Castle Management, Greater Media NJ and ARTS by the People.
Senior Projects
Community Garden Project
Drew Senior Civic Scholar, Kate Fisher, revitalized student involvement with the community garden on campus for her Senior Project. The garden is located by Copper Beach, the faculty and staff housing on campus. The people who live near the garden have plots, but Kate wanted a student plot. She grew vegetables in her part of the garden over the summer and harvested her plot in the fall. On November 6, 2014 Kate and a small group of Drew students used the food she grew in her garden to prepare a meal at Homeless Solutions in Morristown, NJ. The food that Kate harvested fed around 75 people at the dinner. Overall, Kate brought awareness to campus that organic food can be grown right on campus, and her home grown meal helped those in need.
Solidarity and Beyond: Thinking about the Intersections
Drew Senior Civic Scholar, Noran Elzarka, is working to address and raise awareness about the existence and impact of systemic oppression.

Noran hopes through direct action and community building to advance the struggle for justice and liberation for all our people.

An Italy-based businessman (Pourmohseni Hadi) complained of vibrations, rattles, jolts, and bad shifts in his $160,000 2008 BMW M6. BMW Italy jerked him around and gave him no fix, so he smashed his car with an axe and a sledgehammer in protest. The man took his poorly-running M6 to the Frankfurt Motor Show — the biggest auto show in Germany — and smashed it up with his friend. Check out the video:
A grandmother in England was sent a gun intended for a police station through the mail after an address mix-up. She had been expecting a dog collar in the mail; instead she opened her package to find a gun. The grandmother called the nearby police station and officers came to pick it up.
Monday morning commuters traveling down a busy road in China drove into a very peculiar traffic hazard: a bunch of women's underwear. One witness said it looked as if it rained lingerie all over the road. Hundreds of sets of women's underwear covered the road. Bras in different colors and sizes and panties in every style covered a quarter mile stretch. Several boxes of undies apparently fell off the back of a delivery truck.
