Preliminary Program – People's Movements: Violence and Solidarity in the Southeastern Peripheries of Europe: An Encounter in Istanbul, hosted by Bogazici University Sociology Department, July 15-20, 2016*
*scroll down for reading list
15th July, Day 0: Welcome. Our opening conversation will tie together our key themes towards lines of common analysis and comparison, and moments of reflection and engagement. We will ask and elaborate together: What do we mean by periphery? What do we mean by violence? What do we mean by people's movements? Who are we? What are our political horizons?
16th July, Day 1: Thinking at the Intersection of Periphery, Violence, and People's Movements. We will collectively re-engage the notion of periphery defined in relation to the core within global relations of power, exploitation and inequality. We will seek to identify social-historical commonalities and differences within and between our respective regions and the implications of their self-understanding/self-positioning within the core-periphery power dynamic of the modern/colonial capitalist world-system. We will ask and elaborate together: What is the relation between the physical violence of war and the structural violence of neoliberalisation, including class domination and the "symbolic" violence of racism and xenophobia. In what ways do migratory conducts reflect and reinforce dominant core-periphery understandings and positionings? How is migration connected to labor regimes?
17th July, Day 2: War, Displacement, and Neoliberal Violence. We will explore the intersections of war and neoliberal capitalism in the context of forced migration. We will discuss: In what ways the on-going war in Syria and armed conflict in Turkey; as well as the strategic repositioning of the post-socialist countries as the external border of Europe affect geopolitical relations among Turkey, Eastern Europe, and the European Union (including increasing militarisation, surveillance and lethal reinforcement of borders) affect civilizational hierarchies? How do we address in our praxis the production of precariousness and the 'super-exploitation' of refugees and migrants across the peripheries and the rise of racist and nationalist movements? What is the role that activist groups and labor movements can play through solidarity with refugees and other migrants? Can we see activism along the Balkan route as a new form of internationalism and Balkan federation as a historical inspiration?
18th July, Day 3: Feminist Struggles at the Centre of War and Conservative-Neoliberalism. We will discuss the gendered and sexualised dimensions of violence of war and the reemergence across the peripheries of a conservative neoliberalism; as well as old and new feminist movements in Turkey, the Balkans and Eastern Europe. We ask: how do we connect activism around the feminisation of the semi-legal rural and urban labour market(s), flexibilization of female labor, thriving sex trafficking, arranged marriage practices, as violence against women? What kinds of "counter-education" projects can work to supplant the kind of identity-formation and knowledge-construction taking place in schools? How do we engage education as an emancipatory collective social practice in the face of market-friendly social engineering and cultivation of neo-traditional, conservative, and nationalist sentiments? How does feminism relate to LGBT/Queer advocacy in traditionally conservative countries or in those experiencing a resurgence of machismo after the collapse of state socialism?
19th July, Day 4: Forming People's Movements. We will draw our themes together to discuss existing and alternative forms of solidarities and popular mobilisations aiming to counter the rise of right-wing populism and nationalist movements in the neoliberal era, and to further tactical and strategic avenues for developing resistances in the periphery. We will discuss: How does the common narrative on the Western/regional Left influence our own struggle at home? What lessons are there from the Left in the South and East? How do the new geopolitical happenings influence our work in a day-to-day manner? What narratives and practices of solidarity and decoloniality do we deem effective and successful in our local context? How do we choose between humanitarian action and strategies of rupture and conflict? How can we counteract the liberal effort to use current events to strengthen Europe as a point of moral superiority and eternal return? How do we prevent return of phallocentric Germany-led Europe in a re-articulation of neoliberalism /re-masculinisation of societies? How do we approach populism as a strategy for conservative and nationalist mobilization, while also keeping in mind the various left-wing popular/populist movements and their emancipatory language and practice?
20st July, Day 5: What is to be done? Over breakfast together, we will focus on problems of organising, translation, alienation, and mobilisation. How can we continue to work to imagine and enact transnational tactics to disrupt liberal-capitalist spatial regulation and hierarchies and produce transformative action? What are the historical and political-economic barriers that hinder cooperation among activists across our countries, and how can forge routes of transnationalism and solidarity across them? How do we – often-isolated tiny movements – work to stop the new wars? How are internationalist leftists in peripheral countries to engage "anti-imperialist" arguments that function to justify nationalist and authoritarian systems? Who is our main antagonist in our national/international contexts? Are they other left or pseudo left groups, liberals, government, the west, empire, or capitalism? How is this decided – historically, strategically, and contingently?

Today's predictions for increased inflation and reduced growth prospects by the Governor of the Bank of England, Mervyn King, are not going to help an already gloomy economic mood.
This is a time in which, as we report today, the boss of McDonald's in the UK can tell school leavers that they would be better of getting one of his company's "McJobs" than bothering with university.
The Bank of England's interim report on inflation says that the rate is likely to reach five per cent before it falls back, chiefly because of higher utility bills. That in turn has an effect on interest rates: realistically, as Mr King intimates, the base rate at 0.5 per cent may rise later this year. That may be good news for savers, but not for borrowers in general and mortgage payers in particular.
Much of the blame for prices lies outside the Government's control, in particular when it comes to the rise in commodity prices which affects shoppers and retailers. Utility bills may exceed an average of £1,500 for a household this year, an astonishing rise over the past couple of years. But the upshot is predictable: people squeezed by higher energy prices will not have as much money for other spending.
The Government's own growth strategy comes into question here too. One of the premises for the Coalition's public sector spending cuts was that growth in the private sector would compensate for the reductions in state spending and employment. But the private sector will be hard hit by current trends. The existing growth forecast was already modest; the Governor's more downbeat assessment today will trouble the Treasury.
The trouble is, of course, that the financial sector, which contributed disproportionately to the economic growth - as much as 0.4 per cent of growth - in the good times is itself still going through the crisis after the credit crunch. This sector has shrunk by nine per cent since the recession started, twice the rate of decline in the economy as a whole. There is unlikely to be any rapid return to growth there.
The Coalition is not going to be reversing its strategy of rapid deficit reduction as a result of these trends. It has indeed little choice. But the reality is that things may yet get worse before they get better.
Fifa's shame
Given what we already knew about graft within Fifa when it came to the decision about who was to host the 2018 World Cup, the revelations that have been made to a House of Commons committee about the problem hardly comes as a surprise. But it is still shocking that six Fifa officials are alleged to have offered to sell their votes to support Qatar's 2022 bid and all are said to have suggested paying huge bribes.
There have, of course, been calls for England, which spent enormous amounts of money and time on its own, clean bid, to withdraw from Fifa. That will not happen. There will also be calls for the decision about Qatar to be revisited. That won't happen either. But what has to happen is for this shoddy body to begin radical reforms and for England to lead the way in exposing corruption.
Art of dissent
The artist Ai Weiwei has been detained in China; in London, however, an exhibition of his art at Somerset House has enabled artists to call for his release. If he is denied freedom of expression in China, he has it here, and his works speak volumes. He must be released.

- 1 cup lightly packed fresh basil
- Simple syrup
- Tonic water
- Garnish: sliced limes, basil leaves
How to Make It
Combine first 2 ingredients in a glass container. Crush basil gently with a cocktail muddler or wooden spoon to release flavor. Cover and set aside, out of direct sunlight, 2 days. Strain.

|RE: Chainsaw V2
|Thu, 18 Aug 2005 15:45:18 GMT
1. On the Chainsaw page you linked to, right below the 'Launch' web start link, there is a 'download' link that provides the jars. 2. You can specify the location of a config file that should be loaded whenever Chainsaw starts from the view-show application wide preferences window - place the URL to your config file in the 'automatic configuration URL' field at the bottom of the preferences window 2. You could use the 'no receivers defined' popup that comes up when Chainsaw doesn't have a configuration, select 'browse for a configuration', select it, and then check the 'don't show me this again' box. 3. As of log4j 1.3, Chainsaw is no longer included in the core jar - it's available as a separate download. It's also moved to its own cvs repository (logging-chainsaw) - see http://logging.apache.org/site/cvs-repositories.html 3. Chainsaw v2 has a dependency on log4j 1.3 apis, so we will maintain compatibility with log4j 1.3 forward. There is a plan to improve backward compatibility with log4j 1.2.x before the official release of log4j 1.3 and Chainsaw V2 (currently Chainsaw V2 can receive logging events from a log4j 1.2.x socketappender, but only if the events don't contain location info or MDC). 3. There used to be a link to Chainsaw's page off of log4j's page, but it disappeared a while back. I've made a change to fix that but I haven't updated the site yet. Chainsaw hasn't disappeared. Yes, we started writing Chainsaw v2 over two years ago, and yes, we still haven't had an officiall release. 4. If you have any other suggestions or comments, please let us know (we would love the feedback). If you feel like pitching in and helping, even better. Scott -----Original Message----- From: Hans Kool [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2005 2:53 AM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Chainsaw V2 Hi all, I caught an eye on Chainsaw v2 (http://logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/chainsaw.html) and have three suggestions/questions: 1. download Nice webstart download, but it would be good to mention how to start Chansaw 2 (manually) again later. Can't find where the jar is located... Where is it? 2. configuration It would be a good thing to mention if/where to modify the log4j configuration to use Chainsaw, bot for log4j.properties and log4j.xml 3. status Little info is given about the Chainsaw status. I noticed it is not (yet) in log4j. Current log4j contains the old version. When is it expected? What is the status? I hope these suggestions will be followed up soon and.. I hope to find out about the answers as well, because I can't wait to start using this fancy looking tool! :-) If anyone can answer me about these problems: please ;-) Keep up the good work, Hans Kool

"Hearing Things" Screen Captures
6 November 2015
Back in 2004, Felicity Jones appeared in the short film "Hearing Things", a story about Mari-Ann, who spends her days 'talking' to herself in her head to make working on a production line bearable. However, when Maddy (Jones), is assigned to work with her for summer, she discovers that Mari-Ann's refusal to talk to anyone hides a tragic secret. The video is viewable up on Vimeo, and I have added some screen captures to the gallery.

Eurozone leaders had a \"good week\" with a vital German court decision and Dutch elections going their way, even if bailouts for Greece and Spain remain up in the air. On the back of a decision by the European Central Bank to ease pressures on bond markets, finance ministers could tackle difficult issues including treaty obstacles to a banking union. While recession and unemployment cast shadows over debt crisis-fighting efforts on the streets in Madrid and Lisbon, where marchers demonstrated Saturday, and in Barcelona, where a million called for Catalonia\'s independence earlier in the week, at the very top the feeling is one of breathing easier. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Italian premier Mario Monti hailed what they called \"a good week for Europe and the euro,\" Merkel\'s spokesman Steffen Seibert said after the pair spoke by telephone on Friday. The German Constitutional Court\'s green light for Europe\'s blocked bailout fund was the main factor for them, alongside a vote won by Dutch Prime Minister and staunch ally Mark Rutte, despite concessions to far-right voters. European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said things were falling into \"the right place\" after the announcement of potentially unlimited buying of eurozone government bonds on sell-on markets under bailout-like conditions. The Greek bailout, however, will likely only become clearer come an October 18-19 summit of EU leaders in Brussels. Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras is close to winning a two-year extension to meet fiscal pledges, and a liquidity boost from the ECB, in exchange for a new austerity package worth 11.7 billion euros ($15 billion) to avoid leaving the eurozone. \"We are talking about an extension to 2016,\" he told the Wall Street Journal. New figures are also due soon from Spain on financing needs at its banks, although it has yet to be established how Madrid can avoid a full sovereign bailout after the 100-billion-euro deal agreed in June for loans to recapitalise its banks. Overall, markets have responded positively, turning their focus elsewhere, although analysts remain prudent. The decisions by the ECB, the German court and Dutch voters \"have diminished the risk of short-term negative scenarios for the eurozone,\" according to Amsterdam-based ING. However, they have their doubts that the \"good week\" extends far below the surface. Italy and France also suffer from a lack of competitiveness, Greek debt has not become any more sustainable and all the data suggests that the most successful European economies have already been dragged down by the turbulence in the eurozone periphery. Harder-line Capital Economics of London saw \"bolstered hopes\" of a \"turning point\", but sneered that \"September could yet prove to be another false dawn,\" and held to their longstanding line that \"Greece\'s bail-out will probably collapse, resulting in it leaving the eurozone.\" The birth-pains of banking union serve as a reminder that political dangers lurk behind crisis resolution efforts. Even snail-pace progress on eurozone integration is too fast for some, and powerful voices in London are furious at the direction of travel. Former Conservative premier John Major told the Daily Telegraph at the weekend that a two-speed Europe could formally be upon us, with a December summit due to tackle treaty changes needed to anchor future integration offering a possible tipping-point. \"There is a bargain to be struck,\" Major said, in advice clearly directed at Prime Minister David Cameron. \"If an inner core (the eurozone) can radically alter its relationship with the EU as a whole, then non-core members may feel free to do the same,\" Major said. \"I believe they should.\"

RPI workers led by local leaders staged a 'road roko' at Cadbury Junction and also blocked Eastern Express Highway, which connects the city with Mumbai, for over two hours, inconveniencing hundreds of commuters. Nearly 6 buses of Thane Municipal Transport (TMT), apart from some private vehicles, were damaged after agitators pelted them with stones in the afternoon, Thane police department said in a release. The protests were intense in localities like Vartak Nagar, Shastri Nagar and Cadbury Junction.
As per the release, shops and establishments in Vartak Nagar downed their shutters in protest against the 'offending' post. Nearly 50 RPI activists, including local leaders, were taken into custody by police after scores of workers marched on Vartak Nagar and Wagle Estate police stations and squatted there for over three hours demanding action against culprits behind the post. Police later released them.
Other areas in the city remained peaceful though vehicular traffic remained affected as TMT buses were not plying in Vartak Nagar and Wagle Estate areas following the agitation, the release said.

What does this morning's music have in common? Basically it's only rock n' roll, but I like it. Heck, maybe I just feel like playing air-guitar and singing some of my favorite secular tunes. Follow along with me and see if we can pull some Catholic perspective out of the following songs. Keeping in mind, of course, that these are just one person's impressions. Your mileage may vary.
Stevie Ray Vaughn, The House is a Rockin'. Not much to explain here. It's Spring and Our Lord has risen, and we feel like partying here at YIM Catholic! If the house is a-rockin', don't bother knockin'. No invitation needed, just come on in!
Kick off your shoes start losin' the blues
This old house ain't got nothin' to lose
Seen it all for years, start spreadin' the news
Rolling Stones, Gimme Shelter. I can hear some of you sigh and mutter, there Frank goes again. You know what? I need shelter, and I find it in the Holy Mother Church. Which means my soul won't fade away either. This song works for me. And do you know the difference between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones? The Rolling Stones are still together and making music, basically 'til death do they part. I like that ideal.
Bruce Springsteen, Brilliant Disguise. Look out for the false self. In light of the scandal imbroglio, perhaps many have been tempted to think the Church is a sham, a house of cards. Better look hard and look twice. Recently, and grudgingly even the "respected" news sources have to contend with the truth that the entire Roman Catholic Church isn't the only game in town when it comes to abusing children. Just lonely pilgrims we are, but as for me, Jesus I Trust in You. Bruce concludes this tune with this wise line: God have mercy on the man who doubts what he's sure of. Amen.
Sarah McLachlan Sweet Surrender. Sarah, on the other hand, really has the right idea, I think (see the lyrics below).
It doesn't mean much.
It doesn't mean anything at all.
The life I've left behind me
Is a cold room.
I've crossed the last line
From where I can't return,
Where every step I took in faith
Betrayed me
And led me from my home
And sweet
Sweet surrender
Is all that I have to give
You take me in
No questions asked
You strip away the ugliness
That surrounds me
Are you an angel?
Am I already that gone?
I only hope
That I won't disappoint you
When I'm down here
On my knees
Next up, Jack Johnson Better Together. I only recently came across this Jack Johnson fellow and really like some of his work. This song in particular works well as I pondered the Divine Mercy novena prayer for the reunification of Christ's Church here on earth. See the lyrics below…
Love is the answer
At least for most of the questions in my heart,
Like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy,
And sometimes life can be deceiving,
I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together.
Rush Limelight. Only three guys, but big, big sound! Yes, I am asking you to consider the universal dream, the real relation and the underlying theme. Guess what I think those are. See the lyrics below and have a listen.
Living on a lighted stage
Approaches the unreal
For those who think and feel
In touch with some reality
Beyond the gilded cage.
Cast in this unlikely role,
Ill-equipped to act,
With insufficient tact,
One must put up barriers
To keep oneself intact.
Living in the Limelight,
The universal dream
For those who wish to seem.
Those who wish to be
Must put aside the alienation,
Get on with the fascination,
The real relation,
The underlying theme.
Living in a fisheye lens,
Caught in the camera eye.
I have no heart to lie,
I can't pretend a stranger
Is a long-awaited friend.
All the world's indeed a stage,
And we are merely players,
Performers and portrayers,
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage.

A vandal who was caught by a dashcam as he keyed a £100,000 Aston Martin supercar has admitted causing criminal damage.
Footage shows Gary Brissett, 48, brazenly running his key down the side of the V8 Vanquish sports car as it was parked at a supermarket in Hackney in June.
Brissett, of Clissold Road, Stoke Newington, was with his baby at the time of the incident.
Bizarre footage of the crime - which was released by police appealing for witnesses - was viewed by millions of people as it went viral online.
It shows him pulling a set of keys from his pocket before running them alongside the left hand side of the car's bonnet, causing thousands of pounds worth of damage.
He was arrested days after police released the video last month.
On Friday, Brissett pleaded guilty at Thames Magistrates' Court to causing £7,741 worth of damage to owner Oliver Hall's car during the incident on June 19.
He will be sentenced on September 19 and was warned he could face jail for his crime.

text: Codexis, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDXS), a developer of industrial enzymes to enable the cost-advantaged production of biofuels, bio-based chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates, today announced the appointment of John J. Nicols as President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Nicols will begin his new role on June 13, 2012. Mr. Nicols will be appointed to the company's Board of Directors following the commencement of his employment as President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Nicols served most recently as Senior Vice President, Strategic Development and Catalysts, at Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB), a specialty chemicals company with a current market capitalization in excess of $5 billion. As head of the largest of Albemarle's three publicly reported business segments, Mr. Nicols has been responsible for a $1.1 billion P&L statement covering a diverse set of global catalyst business operations and joint ventures. Since Mr. Nicols took over the Catalysts division in January 2007, sales have grown $278 million, which equates to a compound annual growth rate of 5.9%. In addition, the Catalysts division has generated segment income margins of at least 28 percent over the last two years, which are nearly double the margins of earlier periods. The resulting Catalysts division segment income grew by $200 million from 2006 to 2011, a compound annual growth rate of 21.2%. In addition to his financial achievements in Catalysts, Mr. Nicols strategically drove Albemarle to expand globally, including substantial new facilities investment projects currently underway in South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Brazil. The projects in Saudi Arabia and Brazil are joint ventures with leading global companies, SABIC and Petrobras, respectively. During his more than 20-year career at Albemarle, Mr. Nicols managed multiple divisions of the company, driving sustained growth in its Flame Retardants and Fine Chemistry business units, and completed a three-year assignment in Tokyo, Japan from 1995 to 1998. He also co-led a corporate strategy review that focused on driving the corporation's organic new business development opportunities. The success of this project recently led Albemarle to appoint Mr. Nicols as head of company-wide Strategic Development.

A coalition of Los Angeles labor and community groups have come together to fight Department of Homeland Security plans to deport thousands of Central American immigrants.
Stop Separating Families said federal agents are stepping up arrests and deportations this month of those who had their asylum claims denied.
[Ernesto Arce has more from Los Angeles.]
According to Border Patrol statistics, some 120,000 Central American migrants were apprehended for crossing into the U.S. without permission since January 2014. The great majority of them were detained and processed at Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centers.
Many unaccompanied children were released to family members after media reports revealed images of dozens of children incarcerated in small concrete rooms.
Now, the Obama Administration wants to send them back home as a way of sending a message to others: the U.S. must enforce its border laws, as broken as they may be.
Julissa Arceo, with Stop Separating Families, said the newcomers are not immigrants but refugees that should be protected by international law.
[Julissa Arceo]: "Under our country's laws there is a process for them to seek asylum. That process is not being followed. We are asking three year-old children to represent themselves in front of an immigration judge. So once their cases area denied, we say, 'You have to leave the country.' I think it's easy to understand why these people aren't flocking back to their countries. El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras have some of the highest murder rates in the world."
The Los Angeles County Federation of Labor has been active in recent years not only in calling for a $15 federal minimum wage, healthcare, and affordable housing, it has also come to the defense of immigrant communities that it says are under attack.
House Democrats released a statement recently calling enforcement actions against women and children who have fled violence in their home countries, plain cruel.
[Julissa Arceo]: "Imagine if you are one of those mothers or one of those children who has fled unimaginable circumstances. You left everything behind because the conditions there are so terrible that you would rather risk your life to come all the way through Mexico to present your case. So you are tired, traumatized from the trip and now you're being asked to present your case in front of an immigration judge many many times without a lawyer present. I really can't make this stuff up."
Despite growing anger among its allies, administration officials are worried they could face another uncontrolled summer influx, like the one in 2014. That could damage President Obama's standing on immigration and inflame the volatile presidential campaign, where the presumptive GOP nominee, Donald Trump, has called for construction of a wall along the border with Mexico.
Supporters of the upcoming immigration actions met with staffers for Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda Solis to urge tougher immigration policies and for quicker deportations.
"The head Sheriff McDonnell released information that crime statistics are up considerably since the release of all these illegal aliens."
Many women and children who came to the U.S. since 2014 said they were running from violent street gangs, especially in El Salvador and Honduras. The families applied for asylum, but 86 percent of them went to court without lawyers.
Court records show that asylum seekers have a very low chance of success without lawyers.

The good Joe Flacco better show up on Sunday if he wants a new contract, he's on
shaky ground right now.
Printable View
The good Joe Flacco better show up on Sunday if he wants a new contract, he's on
shaky ground right now.
Casserly also said Birk is retiring this year. I call BS on Casserly. Flacco will be the QB for the Ravens until Flacco decides to go.Postseason for first four years and owner plus Baltimore making money, no way Steve B insults Flacco.
Unfortunately for Flacco he still has another year left on his rookie contract affording the Ravens the oppportunity to address other areas in need of immediate attention.(Rice, maybe Grubbs)
If Flacco had come out and set the league on fire then maybe his contract would be getting addressed this year.
Flacco is being treated no different then any other player we've drafted and considered valuable enough that they want to retain them.
This is the way the front office conducts itself and chooses to do business.
This front office has spent virtually its entire existence trying to replace Vinny Testeverde with a player of some type of quality at that position.
After them watching Flacco be the player at that position taking them to the playoffs four straight years I highly doubt there is any ground shaking under Flacco.
He's just gonna have to wait his turn in line.
This phrase is so laughable and off base it invalidates the entire article, at least the part he wrote...
Flacco, his agent, and Ravens front office people who could remain anonymous would laugh at a $60 million number as his "ceiling". The Ravens would never offer such an insulting contract for a QB who has accomplished so much in his first 4 years. Ever. His agent would laugh them out of the building and ask them if they were joking.Quote:
So does Flacco deserve an extension? And if so, how much? The Cardinals and Chiefs overpaid Kevin Kolb and Matt Cassel ($63 million, $20 guaranteed; and $63 million, $28 million guaranteed, respectively). That's probably Flacco's ballpark, although that seems like a lot of money to tie up in a guy who completed just 57 percent of his passes in 2011. And his 20 touchdowns and 80.9 passer rating were his lowest totals since his rookie season.
But again, it just shows how clueless the national media is and how they perceive Flacco's value. It is just mind blowing.
Irrespective of what happens Sunday in the Patriots game, Joe will have his big money, long term contract in hand BEFORE he takes the first snap of the 2012 season. The Ravens are not going to do anything to jeopardize the relationship they have with Joe - the ONLY quarterback in NFL history to win 49 games in his first four years - a winning percentage of over 67% (PS - a better winning percentage EVEN if he loses Sunday's game than John Unitas achieved in EITHER his first four years - or over the entire length of his 17 year career - including championship and playoff games).
This kid is a winner and will be even better when Cam goes.
Either this guy (Casserly) is reading Preston or vice versa - either way they're both idiots.
Joe better get it together on Sunday.
Joe's gonna have to pay out his contract. We cant play him and Ray Rice.
He will be resigned, just not after this season. That said, if he wins a Super bowl, it will put extra pressure on the Ravens to make an offer.
How would signing him this off-season be different than waiting a year. Either way we have to get Grubbs, Rice and Flacco done. If any of those 3 walk it will be Grubbs, Gs are just easier to replace than QBs.
And SugarRay, there is no chance Flacco goes anywhere regardless of what happens Sunday.
I doubt they let him play out his contract. If they did and couldn't re-sign him in time, they'd have to franchise him and the franchise number for a QB is prohibitive.
Anyone thinking they won't sign him before the 2012 season starts is crazy. There is no way they let Flacco get to his final year, and possibly have to franchise him. If anyone is franchised, it'll be Grubbs or Rice.

BLUE has been banished from the political maps of all but one metropolitan local authority and from all but one county council during a decade of Conservative retreat in local government. Even in the shires, the party is losing its dominance to a combination of Labour and the Liberal Democrats.
Only in London have the Tories managed to maintain a respectable presence, with 11 of the 32 boroughs under their majority rule.
Labour controls 15, the Liberal Democrats three, while the Tories are the largest party in two of the remaining three where there is no overall control.
In the last local elections in 1990, the party did well in London, despite the furore over the poll tax. Triumph in the flagship boroughs of Wandsworth and Westminster allowed the Conservatives to gloss over heavy defeats outside the capital.
But on 5 May, the provincial rot looks like spreading, at least as far as the outer London suburbs. Control could disappear in as many as six boroughs. Croydon, which has never been anything other than Conservative, is only six seats away from coming under Labour control.
Sir Norman Fowler, chairman of the Conservative Party, and Michael Portillo, the party's London campaign co-ordinator, will certainly have successes to cheer - Labour is likely to lose Lambeth - but the Tories have more to fear than Labour.
Labour strategists have already let it be known that they have no hope of winning Wandsworth or Westminster. Seats may be gained at the expense of the Conservatives but control is not an issue.
Elsewhere in inner London, Labour is dominant, apart from Kensington and Chelsea where the blue of Chelsea outvotes the red of north Kensington. Few surprises are expected between the two main parties in the inner-city where the real battle is between Labour and Liberal Democrats.
The exception is Lambeth. Once a stronghold of Labour's self-destructive tendency, expulsions and the imposition of a new clean party image are believed to have come too late to save the party from defeat.
Patrick Dunleavy, professor of government at the London School of Economics, said the borough had fallen into administrative chaos. Good managers in local government were simply not willing to work in the borough.
'The divisive rancour in the majority party has lasted long enough to have an impact on senior officers' careers,' he said. 'Once that has got into the system, unless you have a clear restoration of political will, it's very difficult to get the professionals back.'
Professor Dunleavy said a similar effect had accompanied political manoeuvrings in Brent - ruled by a Tory administration with the help of independents - and in Tower Hamlets, controlled by the Liberal Democrats and the scene of accusations of racism.
Labour may profit from the Liberal Democrats in Tower Hamlets but could lose out to their opponents' community politics in Southwark, Greenwich and Lewisham. For the Conservatives, inner London will remain largely a desert unless exceptional trends are recorded away from the national polls.
The unpopularity of the Government is Labour's main driving force in the suburbs. The party's campaigning will rely heavily on national issues, while the Conservatives are busy developing a theme of providing low-cost services.
Straight gains are possible for Labour in Enfield, Ealing and Croydon. Six seats out of 70 are needed in Croydon, three out of 66 in Enfield, five out of 70 in Ealing. Enfield is particularly at risk.
A combination of Labour and Liberal Democrats could deprive the Tories of control in Barnet, where Labour is the biggest opposition party, and in Harrow, where the Liberal Democrats have more seats than Labour.
In south-west London the fight is between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats.
All but three seats on Richmond council are held by the Liberal Democrats, who also dominate Sutton. The party is looking to extend its control to Kingston upon Thames.
The Conservatives' best option may be to start preparing to limit the political damage.
In an article on 11 April we mistakenly stated that the Liberal Democrats have more council seats than Labour in the London borough of Harrow. Both parties share the same number of seats.

Acre appears in the following tongue twister:
- Something in a thirty-acre thermal thicket of thorns and thistles thumped and thundered threatening the three-D thoughts of Matthew the thug - although, theatrically, it was only the thirteen-thousand thistles and thorns through the underneath of his thigh that the thirty year old thug thought of that morning.

Take the SJ 10 hearing on Feb. 4, which devolved into an ill-informed debate about the science behind global climate change.
"I have a greenhouse at home," said Sen. Greg Hinkle, R-Thompson Falls, in questioning Hedges' testimony. "I put dry ice in there to increase the CO2, and it helps to grow the plants a lot. So I'm wondering why is there such a big thing about this CO2 when it actually increases vegetative growth?"
"Is it warmer in your greenhouse than it is outside?" Hedges replied. "That's the problem."
"Sometimes," Hinkle said.
Sen. Verdell Jackson, R-Kalispell, said he's spent four years reading about climate change, and has "two suitcases full of books" to prove it. But he claims he hasn't come across "an experiment using the scientific method" that demonstrates that carbon dioxide—which he asserts is "certainly not a pollutant," even though the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2007 that it is one—contributes to climate change.
"The only thing I could find in terms of global warming is the energy from the sun, which is very well documented," Jackson said. "I could not find a correlation between global warming and carbon dioxide."
Answered Hedges: "The greenhouse effect is really well understood. It's replicated every day in Sen. Hinkle's greenhouse."
Many industry groups believe they stand to gain from the stripping away of impediments to resource extraction and incentives for renewable energy. Several associations and corporations lined up to voice their support for SJ 10. Among them was Arch Coal, Inc., the country's second largest coal producer. It paid Montana $86 million last year for the right to mine the Otter Creek coal tracts in southeastern Montana. The Montana Coal Council, Cloud Peak Energy, Montana Petroleum Association, Montana Electric Cooperatives Association, Western Environmental Trade Association and the Montana Wood Products Association also testified in favor of dropping carbon dioxide regulations.
Two Tea Party activists also testified in favor of SJ 10, including Tim Ravndal of Helena's Lewis and Clark's Conservative Tea Party (who, incidentally, was removed as president of the Big Sky Tea Party Association last fall after joking on Facebook about murdering homosexuals).
"The development of natural resources in Montana creates jobs," Ravndal said. "EPA kills jobs."
On Feb. 9, the EPA, at the behest of two congressmen, released a whitepaper detailing the economic benefits of the Clean Air Act, particularly to the environmental technologies industry. By 2008 it was generating some $300 billion in annual revenues and directly supporting nearly 1.7 million jobs, according to Environmental Business Journal. Air pollution control equipment alone generated revenues of more than $18 billion in 2007, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. From 1990 through 2020, the EPA projects the monetary value of the Clean Air Act's protection to exceed the cost of that protection by a factor of more than 30 to 1.
"I think the Priest resolution gets to the heart of what [Republicans are] saying, which is, 'There's no such thing as a benefit of environmental protections—of clean air or clean water. There are no benefits to those. There are only costs. And that the only good industries are high-carbon industries,'" Hedges says. "They turn a blind eye toward the emerging low-carbon economy that's not just occurring here but all over the world."
Job creation is offered as justification for just about every bill intended to undermine environmental protections, including a highly controversial constitutional amendment.
House Bill 292, sponsored by first-term Rep. Dan Kennedy, R-Laurel, attempts to tinker with the language in the Montana Constitution that guarantees the right to a "clean and healthful environment." The language, adopted in 1972, makes the constitution one of the most progressive in the country. In 1999, the Montana Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the right to a clean and healthful environment is fundamental and intended to be preventative in nature.
Many conservative legislators believe all the language prevents is job creation. In fact, Rep. Duane Ankney, R-Colstrip, goes so far as to call the constitutional amendment a "jobs bill."
"Let's get the record straight," he said on the House floor two weeks ago. "Every time something has tried to be permitted, including Highwood [Generating Station outside Great Falls] and mines in this state, it's been taken to court under the 'clean and healthful environment' [provision]. It's always taken to court under that portion of the constitution...It was put in there to stop coal mining and any advancement of economic development of our natural resources in the state of Montana."
That theory is why Kennedy proposes changing the language to instead guarantee "the right to a clean, healthful and economically productive environment."
Democrats on the House floor argued vehemently against the change, challenging the assertion that the inalienable right to a clean and healthful environment has halted economic development, and calling it a political diversion from lawmaking that might actually create jobs. Rep. Betsy Hands, D-Missoula, said it's telling that no small business owners are fighting for the bill.
"This bill creates confusing and contradictory language, and the only way this bill creates jobs is if it creates jobs for the lawyers...and that's not what we were sent here to do," Hands said.
First-term Rep. Ellie Hill, also of Missoula, said Montanans rejected amending the constitution last November when they voted down convening a constitutional convention.
Rep. Franke Wilmer, D-Bozeman, said mandating economic productivity is "central to socialist philosophy," and found in the Cuban and Chinese constitutions. And Rep. Mike Menahan, D-Helena, pointed out that the courts have never used the provision to stop any mine or industrial project. He said it's a "fundamental right within the fabric of other rights" and it's "never been used to the exclusion of any other right."
Still, on Feb 4., the House voted 68-32 to pass the bill on second reading. Despite the lopsided vote, opponents of the bill seated in the House gallery cheered; even if all 28 Republicans in the Senate vote for the bill, the bill would still fall four votes shy of the 100 needed to place the amendment on the ballot in 2012.
While the "clean and healthful" provision hasn't served to stop resource extraction in Montana, Elizabeth Kronk, an assistant professor of law at the University of Montana, says changing it would have real consequences.
"What concerns me about the language 'economically productive' is it's a view that the environment is to be used for economic development, and that's an interesting question for Montanans," Kronk says. "Is that how we view our environment, for development purposes? Is it for natural resource extraction? And I don't think that's a settled question in Montana. I think there's a bigger issue there that really strikes at the core of Montana, which is, Are we going to protect our environment or our we going to develop it, and potentially destroy it?"
Hedges says the "clean and healthful" provision "is a right Montanans can rely on if their backs are ever up against a wall."

Headlights not working
So when I first got my YJ ('93) the high beams would periodically just shut off. Once I switched them to low beams they'd come back again. Just the other day my headlights aren't working at all.
Just a couple of days ago my headlights stopped working altogether. The fuse is good. I checked the headlight/parking light switch (even opened it up) and it appears to be working correctly. In between the the switch and the battery is a rat's nest of wires so I'm having difficulty tracing it after that.
Does anyone have any suggestions regarding what else to look at before I try to tackle the rat's nest? Thanks in advance.
You might want to try the Yj forum. Those guys might have an answer for you.
I'd run new wiring and see if that works. Dont rewire anything just jump them 1 at a time and see if it works. If something fixes it then great, if not its a switch or relay. Most likely your dimmer switch.
Whoops, I thought I clicked on the YJ forums. My apologies!
First time poster, Sorry to jack your thread, but i am having a very simular problom on my 2000 wrangler all the dash lights work tail lights work markers work but no headlights of any kind highs lows nuthin. any ideas i dont think its the headlight switch because everything else works mabe multifunction switch? i heard something about a delay box? thanks in advance

PETR CECH: Helped keep Chelsea in game early on with two crucial stops. Not to blame for either goal. 7/10
BRANISLAV IVANOVIC: Crucial block from Aguero but lost his man as the Argentine notched City's second. 6
DAVID LUIZ: Not the type of game that brings out his best. Came more into game after break. Close with free-kick. 6
CESAR AZPILICUETA: Unable to help stop City's attacking verve and unwittingly set up Nasri for opener. 5
RYAN BERTRAND: Filling in for Ashley Cole, the left-back blocked a Tevez shot. Kept busy at back and unable to go forward. 5
RAMIRES: Ineffective in first half and ceded the free-kick that led to City's second. Wasted header in front of goal. 6
JUAN MATA: Curled over before the break but forced to drop back and help out in defence more than he would have liked. 6
OSCAR: Subtle flicks and tricks but Brazilian was unable to utilise his skills to any great effect until City tired. 6
JOHN OBI MIKEL: Struggled to cope with power of City's attacking force. Sacrificed for Torres as Chelsea chased game. 5
EDEN HAZARD: Had effort cleared off line by Kompany but more influential after the break as Chelsea rallied. 6
DEMBA BA: Wonderful movement for Chelsea's goal but too often left isolated. 7
Best off the bench: Fernando Torres
Instant impact without touching ball. Presence created space for Ba to capitalise. 6
Manchester City
COSTEL PANTILIMON: Saved by Kompany early on but contributed a couple of vital saves to keep Chelsea out. 7/10
VINCENT KOMPANY: Headed Hazard shot off line but sliced wide at other end. Fortunate not to give away a penalty against Torres. 8
PABLO ZABALETA: Offered usual reliable presence, both in defence and going forward. Steady display from the Argentine. 6
GAEL CLICHY: Fine run forward in opening minutes set the tone for City's play but struggled to contain late Chelsea rallies. 6
MATIJA NASTASIC: Serb has greatly impressed in recent months and shone both in the air and on the ground yesterday. 7
James Milner: Motored forward on the left wing at every opportunity but was caught in two minds when wasting a counter-attack. 7
Samir Nasri: Linked up well with Yaya Touré in centre. Fortunate with ricochet for opener but cool finish under pressure. 7
Gareth Barry: First in the book for foul on Ramires. Lofted cross set up Aguero for City's second goal after the interval. 7
Yaya Toure: Ivorian has gathered a second wind in recent weeks and sauntered through Chelsea's midfield at will. 8
Sergio Aguero: Clever throughout. Lovely ball for Nasri opener and strong header for second. Nasty lunge on Luiz late on. 8
Carlos Tevez: Energetic display behind Aguero and had Chelsea defence in all sorts of trouble. 8
Best off the bench: JAVI GARCIA
Brought on to help stifle Chelsea's attempts for an equaliser. Aided defensive efforts. 6

Right ventricular function is a key determinant of exercise capacity and survival in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). We aimed to study the predictors of right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) in patients with newly diagnosed PAH.
We performed a cross-sectional analysis of a retrospective cohort of consecutive patients with idiopathic, familial, or anorexigen-associated PAH who underwent equilibrium radionuclide angiography for measurement of RVEF at baseline.
Of the 84 patients in the cohort, 63 underwent equilibrium radionuclide angiography and right heart catheterization and were included. The mean age was 41 ± 13 years, and 79% of the patients were female. The mean RVEF was 30 ± 8%. RVEF was directly associated with right ventricular stroke volume index and cardiac index, and inversely associated with pulmonary vascular resistance index from right heart catheterization (all p < 0.001). Older age and male sex were associated with lower RVEF (p < 0.05) after adjustment for pulmonary vascular resistance index and left ventricular ejection fraction. Higher plasma von Willebrand factor levels were also independently associated with lower RVEF (p = 0.01) (n = 55). Body size and type of PAH were not associated with RVEF.
Older patients and males with PAH had lower RVEF at baseline than younger patients and females, even after controlling for left ventricular function and hemodynamics. Higher plasma von Willebrand factor levels, a marker of endothelial dysfunction, were also associated with lower RVEF.

Obstructive ventilatory defects in pediatrics
Obstructive airway syndromes are the most common cause of respiratory symptoms in infants and children. By the age children are capable of performing spirometry correctly (developmental age > 6 yr) most congenital syndromes and severe diseases (cystic fibrosis) have been detected, but this is not invariably the case! As asthma is so common it is not exceptional for children to have a second respiratory disorder. One way to categorize obstructive syndromes is by the site of the abnormality.
High extrathoracic disorders
- Pierre Robin syndrome
- choanal atresia or stenosis
- CHARGE syndrome
- vocal chord paralysis (uni- or bilateral)
- subglottic or tracheal stenosis (congenital, acquired), hemangioma, fibroma, papilloma
- infectious: laryngitis subglottica, epiglottitis (uncommon in children > 6 yr), laryngotracheobronchitis, retropharyngeal abscess
Central (intrathoracic) disorders
- tracheo- and/or bronchomalacia (congenital, isolated or in combination with other congenital abnormalities)
- tracheo- and/or bronchomalacia acquired, such as due to bronchopulmonary disease
- aspiration (gastric content, saliva, foreign body)
- compression of trachea or bronchi by congenital vascular anomalies, space occupying lesions (bronchogenic cysts, tuberculosis, lymphoma)
- congenital emphysema, congenital cysto-adenomatous malformation of the lung
Peripheral disorders
- asthma
- relatively narrow airways (risc factors: due to prenatal maternal smoking, low birth weight, small for gestational age, intra-uterine growth retardation, lung hypoplasia, boy)
- sequel of viral or bacterial infections (cysts for abscess, bronchiectasies)
- chronic bronchitis due to recurring aspirations, immune defects, primary ciliary dyskinesia, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, other causes of disturbed mucociliary clearance
- congenital abnormalities such as congenital emphysema, congenital cysto-adenomatous malformation of the lung, sequesters, intraparenchymal cysts
