Maritime safety: compensation fund for oil pollution damage
This proposal aims to improve the liability and compensation arrangements for pollution damage caused by ships.
Proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the establishment of a fund for the compensation of oil pollution damage in European waters and related measures [COM (2000) 802 final - Official Journal C 120 E, 24 April 2001].
This proposal for a regulation forms part of the second package of Community measures on maritime safety. Following the sinking of the Erika, the Commission came to the conclusion that the existing liability and compensation arrangements failed to offer sufficient guarantees against oil pollution damage.
The objective of this proposal from the Commission is to set up a supplementary fund covering liability and compensation for pollution damage caused by oil tankers, designated COPE (Compensation for Oil Pollution in European waters fund), to pay compensation to the victims of oil spills in European waters.
The COPE Fund would top up the CLC (Convention on Liability of the Carrier) and IOPC (International Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage) systems in force at international level.
The objective of this proposal is to ensure adequate compensation for pollution damage in EU waters resulting from the transport of oil by sea and to introduce a financial penalty to be imposed on any person found to have contributed to an oil pollution incident.
The proposed regulation would apply to safeguard measures to prevent or minimise such risks and to pollution damage caused:
A Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution will be established to provide compensation to the extent that the protection afforded by the CLC Convention and the IOPC Convention is inadequate.
To this end, the COPE Fund will pay compensation to any person who is entitled to compensation for pollution damage under the IOPC Convention but who has been unable to obtain full and adequate compensation under that Convention.
No compensation will be paid by the COPE Fund until the Commission has approved the results of the relevant assessment of entitlement.
The Commission may decide not to pay compensation to any person in a contractual relationship with the carrier in respect of the operation during which the incident occurred.
Each Member State will be required to communicate to the Commission the name and address of any person who is liable to contribute to the COPE Fund. For the purposes of ascertaining who are liable to contribute to the COPE Fund and of establishing, where applicable, the quantities of oil to be taken into account for each such person, a list must be compiled and kept up to date by the Commission.
Member States will also have to lay down a system for imposing financial penalties on any person found by a court of law to have contributed, by wrongful intentional or grossly negligent acts or omissions, to an incident causing or threatening to cause oil pollution.
Three years after the entry into force of the regulation at the latest, the Commission will submit a report on the efforts made at international level to improve the international insurance and compensation arrangements.
Codecision procedure (COD/2002/0326)
On 12 June 2002 the Commission adopted an amended proposal.
On 12 June 2002 the amended proposal was submitted to the European Parliament.

"We were fortunate to have been made aware of your organization and I am appreciative
of the guidance and understanding you provided during this most difficult time."
"My packet arrived the next day and I was able to fully understand what I was up against. The information in the packet was the first step in learning more about mesothelioma, treatment and legal options. It helped put my mind at ease that I was on the right path."
Heather Von St. James
Courageous Mother, Wife and Survivor of Mesothelioma
Malignant mesothelioma is a rare type of cancer that occurs in the thin layer of cells lining the body's internal organs, known as the mesothelium. There are three recognized types of mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma is the most common form of the disease, accounting for roughly 70% of cases, and occurs in the lining of the lung known as the pleura. Peritoneal mesothelioma occurs in the lining of the abdominal cavity, known as the peritoneum and pericardial mesothelioma originates in the pericardium, which lines the heart. There are three main types of mesothelioma cells: epithelial, sarcomatoid, and biphasic. Depending on the type of cells found during lab tests, treatment options and life expectancy will change.
An individual may be at risk to develop mesothelioma if he or she was exposed to asbestos in the workplace or at home. Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos and the inhalation of asbestos particles. In most cases, mesothelioma symptoms will not appear in an individual exposed to asbestos until many years after the exposure has occurred. Those with a past asbestos exposure history experiencing symptoms should consult a physician with experience in accurately diagnosing mesothelioma. The earlier mesothelioma is diagnosed, the more likely it is to be caught at an early stage. At earlier stages of mesothelioma progression, more treatment options are available and oftentimes a better mesothelioma prognosis is given.
Once an individual has been diagnosed by a qualified mesothelioma doctor, the next step is to discuss mesothelioma treatment options and to develop a treatment plan. Recent scientific research has produced significant breakthroughs with regard to treatment protocols for mesothelioma patients and more options are now available for managing mesothelioma and supporting improved quality of life. Newly diagnosed mesothelioma patients often have many questions for their doctors about the treatment options that would be most effective for them. Conventional treatment options for mesothelioma include surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Recently, chemotherapy drugs including Alimta® and cisplatin have showed promising results in some patients.
Mesothelioma clinical trials as well as experimental treatments are other options that certain mesothelioma patients may be eligible to participate in. Our site features a comprehensive mesothelioma cancer treatment section that includes important information for patients and families. We've included resources on top mesothelioma experts such as Dr. Raphael Bueno, as well as a comprehensive list of cancer centers where mesothelioma treatment takes place. Beyond the conventional treatments for mesothelioma, certain alternative therapies may provide assistance to mesothelioma patients.
Asbestos exposure is the primary cause of mesothelioma cancer. Inhaled or ingested asbestos fibers may cause an inflammation of internal tissue and disrupt organ function which leads to the development of mesothelioma. Asbestos products were used extensively in the 20th century throughout the United States, in a wide variety of applications. Asbestos companies continued to produce these products even after they were known to be hazardous to workers. These products were responsible for asbestos exposure sustained by the individuals who manufactured them as well as those who used them. Renovation and construction both at home and in schools also poses high risk areas for exposure. People also may have been exposed to asbestos-contaminated talc in baby powder.
Many workers were put at risk at commercial and industrial locations including refineries, power plants, steel mills, auto production facilities and large construction sites. Some of the occupations of workers at risk include electricians, plumbers, boilermakers, carpenters, mechanics, machinists and more. Additionally, if you lived with someone who was regularly exposed to asbestos and washed their clothes, you could be at risk for second hand asbestos exposure.

Dinesh D'Souza, a conservative commentator and best-selling author, has been indicted by a federal grand jury for arranging excessive campaign contributions to a candidate for the U.S. Senate.
The candidate was Wendy Long, a Republican who sought to unseat Democratic incumbent Kirsten Gillibrand as New York's junior senator in 2012, according to a person familiar with the case.
A lawyer for D'Souza said his actions were "at worst," an act of misguided friendship.
D'Souza was charged in an indictment made public on Thursday with one count of making illegal contributions in the names of others and one count of causing false statements to be made.
The indictment said D'Souza directed individuals to contribute a total $20,000 to the campaign of an unnamed Senate candidate in 2012 and then reimbursed them for their contributions.
Federal law in 2012 limited primary and general election campaign contributions to $2,500 each, for a total of $5,000, from any individual to any one candidate.
"As we have long said, this office and the FBI take a zero tolerance approach to corruption of the electoral process," the U.S. Attorney for Manhattan, Preet Bharara, said in a statement released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Bharara is an appointee of President Barack Obama.
Born in Mumbai, India, D'Souza, 52, is a former policy adviser to President Ronald Reagan, and has been affiliated with conservative organizations such as the American Enterprise Institute and the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.
He also directed a 2012 film critical of Obama, "2016: Obama's America," and has written books including "The End of Racism," "Life After Death: The Evidence" and "Obama's America: Unmaking the American Dream."
D'Souza's lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, said in a statement there was no quid pro quo, nor did D'Souza have any knowledge that campaign finance rules might have been broken.
"Mr. D'Souza did not act with any corrupt or criminal intent whatsoever. He and the candidate have been friends since their college days, and at worst, this was an act of misguided friendship by D'Souza," Brafman said.
Long, who graduated from Dartmouth College in 1982, a year before D'Souza, could not be reached for comment on Thursday.
Gillibrand, a 1988 Dartmouth graduate, ended up winning re-election to her first full term, collecting close to 72 percent of the vote.
In late 2012, D'Souza resigned his post as president of King's College, a small Christian college in New York City, after admitting he had become engaged to a woman even though he was legally married, although separated from his wife. He has been an outspoken defender of traditional marriage.
The case is U.S. v. D'Souza, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 14-cr-00034.

Et moderat økonomisk opsving forventes i 2016 og 2017, såfremt den indenlandske sikkerhedssituation ikke er til skade for turismen og erhvervslivet igen.
Political situation
Head of state: President Beji Caid Essebsi (since December 2014)
Head of government: Prime Minister Habib Essid (since February 2015)
Form of government: Coalition government of secular and Islamic parties.
Population: 11.2 million (est.)
Fragile security situation persists
In Tunisia, the October 2014 parliamentary and presidential elections were peaceful. A four-party coalition is ruling the country since the beginning of 2015. However, this broad coalition government is prone to tensions and difficult decision making as it consists of both secular and (moderate) Islamist parties.
The internal security situation remains tense and the risk of additional terrorist attacks after several assaults in 2015 remains high. It is estimated that some 3,000 Tunisians have fought or are still fighting for IS in Syria and Libya, and some of them returned home, posing a high security risk. Tunisia remains negatively affected by the on-going civil strife in neighbouring Libya.
The new government faces enormous challenges in improving social and economic conditions, as unemployment is still very high and a failure to improve general living standards could create social unrest.
Economic situation
A moderate rebound expected in 2016
In 2015, GDP growth slowed down to 0.8% as the fragile security situation affected the business environment and hurt the economy. Especially the tourism sector was hit by terrorist attacks last year. In 2016 GDP is expected to grow 2.4%, however this rebound is heavily dependent on the security situation, as any further deterioration could again severely hurt domestic demand (private consumption and investments) and tourism. Government spending, especially in undeveloped regions, will contribute positively to growth.
The budget deficit is large (4.4% of GDP in 2015) due to increased social spending and investments. However, it is expected that lower oil and food prices will relieve government finances in 2016 and 2017.
At the same time, the current account deficit is high (more than 9% of GDP in 2015 and 2016), due to fewer exports, lower remittances (many Tunisians worked in Libya) and decreased tourism revenues. In order to finance the twin deficits, external borrowing has increased, resulting in high external debt (59% of GDP in 2015).
Foreign exchange reserves are still sufficient in terms of import cover in months, as imports have decreased due to weak domestic demand. However, short-term debt in relation to international reserves remains high in 2016, at 95%. Foreign reserves are not covering Tunisia´s high external financing requirement, and the country will remain dependent on multilateral and bilateral support. It receives major financial assistance from the IMF, World Bank, European countries and the US.
It is expected that this support will continue, as international donors want to bolster the on-going transition process towards a stable democratic system. However, in order to keep external debt sustainable in the long-term the government has to reduce the budget deficit and introduce reforms to accelerate economic growth.
More structural reforms are necessary to accelerate economic growth and to reduce the high unemployment. Tackling bureaucracy, reducing corruption, reforming the tax and subsidy system are necessary to improve the economic conditions. However, given the current political and social conditions, it seems that progress will remain slow for the time being.

LIMA — State Rep. Matt Huffman says he listened to school officials and that led to his new school choice plan. But local officials aren't easing up on their complaints.
"I say it is a bad bill, a bad piece of legislation, and it should be scrapped completely," Shawnee schools Superintendent Paul Nardini said.
"It is bad legislation to begin with, and there is nothing that can be done to it to make it palatable," Elida schools Superintendent Don Diglia added. "This isn't about school choice. This about subsiding parochial and private education."
Huffman has ditched House Bill 136, which already had made it through the House Education Committee. A new bill will lower income guidelines, cap the percentage of pupils per district that can get a scholarship, and limit a school's loss of state funding.
"We listened over the last several months to public school officials all over the state, including some local folks. We tried to address many of the major concerns that they had," Huffman said. "In terms of other public school folks who have criticized previous efforts, this should be less objectionable to them."
That doesn't seem to be the case. Nardini believes the initial bill was a ploy, saying Huffman knew the opposition would be great and that he would have to make changes.
"So he could say he tried to make changes, and then those legislators would say, 'OK, he tried, so we will pass this,'" he said.
Under the new proposal, vouchers would be available to families with household incomes up to 300 percent of the federal poverty level, or $67.050 a year for a family of four. The previous cap was $95,000. Also, no more than 1 percent of a districts' enrollment could receive a scholarship.
Diglia thinks the percentage might continue to go up over time, just as with the existing state EdChoice Voucher program.
"It is just a get-your-foot-in-the-door type of thing," said Diglia, who believes the bill would have long-term negative impact on public schools, including tough times at the polls when districts need money.
The scholarship amount would vary depending on the district. A voucher would have to be equal to the cost of the private-school tuition, up to $4,500 a year, but no more than the amount of per-pupil state aid received by the district. Pupils in lower-wealth districts getting more state aid would be eligible for the maximum amount.
More than half of Ohio's 614 school boards, including many local boards, have passed resolutions opposing House Bill 136. Lima schools Superintendent Karel Oxley suspects new resolutions in opposition to come once the new bill is released.
The new plan doesn't address the fundamental concerns of Lima schools officials, Oxley said. Those concerns include public money going to private schools that don't have to follow the same mandates.
"If you visualize the bucket of public tax dollars that everyone can access, why would we not all have to follow the same mandates to utilize the public dollars for educating kids?" she said, adding that private schools can pick and choose which pupils they take.
"We do not believe there should be a selection criteria," she said. "We do not believe that public dollars should have any criteria for someone who wants to access an education. We are not allowed to do that as a public institution using the same dollars."
Any voucher legislation that passes, Nardini said, would open the gates to more voucher programs. The new plan still affects the highest-achieving districts, he said.
"What sense does it make for a student at Shawnee schools, a school ranked excellent with distinction? Why should they want to go to another school?" he said.
To Huffman, it is all about giving parents a choice, regardless of a school's performance.
"This isn't about how schools are rankled, it is about what choice individual parents want to make for their child," he said.
Huffman continues to get support from supporters of school choice.
"Thousands of Ohio families are anxiously waiting for this scholarship program so their children can finally have access to a high-quality education that best meets their learning needs," said Jason Warner, legislative director for School Choice Ohio.
The new bill will not include a previously proposed educational savings account that would have allowed extra money to be used for other educational material or college expenses. The new bill would, over time, allow existing private school pupils to apply for scholarships.

State Senator Dan Claitor (R–District 16) is leading an effort in Louisiana to repeal various outdated laws on its books. In a recent report on these efforts, there's an interesting comment from radical cleric Gene Mills. In both the online and print editions of the Baton Rouge Advocate, Mills—head of the state affiliate of Focus on the Family—was asked about Claitor's bill repeal a 1981 law requiring "balanced treatment" for evolution and creationism. The 1981 law was struck down by the US Supreme Court in 1987's Edwards v. Aguillard decision, but it was never taken off Louisiana's books.
Gene Mills, president of the Louisiana Family Forum, said he's unsure if he will oppose Claitor's bill this year. He said discussing creationism in the classroom is protected by the Louisiana Science Education Act, a law passed in 2008 that allows teachers to supplement their science instruction with theories that are critical of evolution and global warming.
Now, since the misnamed LSEA was proposed, its advocates have claimed that there was nothing creationist about it, but here Mills seemed to be giving away that game, agreeing that the bill really does protect creationist lessons.
A few hours after that story went online, the passage was revised, switching up the reference to creationism and adding an editor's note:
Gene Mills, president of the Louisiana Family Forum, said he's unsure if he will oppose Claitor's bill this year. He said discussing the weaknesses of the theory of evolution and other scientific theories in the classroom is protected by the Louisiana Science Education Act, a law passed in 2008 that allows teachers to supplement their science instruction with alternative theories. …
Editor's note: this story has been changed from the original version to reflect that the Louisiana Science Education Act does not expressly protect the discussion of Creationism in the classroom. Instead, it protects the discussion of strengths and weaknesses of any given scientific theory, by allowing teachers to supplement science instruction with theories critical of topics like evolution and global warming.
The editor's note looks for all the world like a direct quote from an email, either from Mills or even the Disco. 'tute. To be fair, it isn't clear whether the revision happened because Mills didn't actually say "creationism," or if he just bullied the paper into toning down the story.
Either way, what Mills said undercuts the rhetoric of the law's defenders, and demonstrates the point critics have been making. Mills appears to feel that the LSEA covers comparable ground to the 1981 law, that "the discussion of strengths and weaknesses" of evolution is the rough equivalent of requiring equal time for creationism.
Indeed, Mills wouldn't be the first to see things that way. Just after the 1981 law was struck down, Wendell Bird (the general counsel for the Institute for Creation Research who was deputized by the state of Louisiana to defend the "balanced treatment" law) wrote an essay laying out the strategy which ultimately led to the creation of the LSEA:
school boards and teachers should be strongly encouraged at least to stress the sciencific [sic] evidences and arguments against evolution in their classes (not just arguments against some proposed evolutionary mechanism, but for creation per se), even if they don't wish to recognize these as evidence and arguments for creation (not necessarily as arguments for a particular date of creation but for creation per se).
Mills's comments on repeal of the 1981 law seem to repeat this line of argument, implying that arguments against evolution are de facto arguments for creationism. The anti-evolution lessons the law explicitly protects will have the same effect as the creationist lessons from the 1981 law. And until the legislature acts to repeat the LSEA, the 1981 "balanced treatment" law is far from dead letter.

An uncomfortable war of speculation over the ship date for AMD's four-core Barcelona processor has broken out between the chipmaker, supercomputer vendor Cray and the Dow Jones newswire.
Cray started this mess yesterday by saying that component delays would cause it to miss the planned fourth quarter ship date for a revamped version of its XT4 supercomputer.
The only problem was that Cray refused to disclose which component in particular had caused the delay and failed to specify which version of AMD's upcoming four-core family – Barcelona or Budapest – it will use in the new XT4s. AMD has long said that Barcelona will ship in the Summer, while the lower-end Budapest is slated to arrive in the fourth quarter.
Wall Street went into panic this morning when the Dow Jones printed a pair of stories "confirming" that a Barcelona delay was behind Cray's issues. In one story, the newswire reported:
The part that is delayed is the four-core processor being made for the supercomputer by Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), Steve Conway, a Cray spokesman, said in an interview.
"Its postponement, at least according to everything we know right now, is a brief postponement," Conway said.
In another story, the newswire reported:
On Monday supercomputer maker Cray Inc. (CRAY) issued a revenue warning for the year, citing a delay in the availability of a component, which analysts said is likely the Barcelona server chip. Meanwhile, on Tuesday Citigroup analyst Glen Yeung said in a research report out of Taiwan's Computex Trade show, that "several sources," including server vendors, distributors and motherboard makers, confirmed Barcelona will be delayed to September/October from June/July.
Those of you interested in this kind of stuff will want to note that Cray won't be using the Barcelona chips in the XT4s. The systems will run on the lower-end, latter Budapest chips. So, that's one issue taken care of.
Cray, however, continues to leave the world in a mystery over what is in fact causing the XT4 delays - processor, memory or what? (Even though we all know it's really the processor.) The company's investor relations spokesman Victor Chynoweth told us that his colleague public relations spokesman Steve Conway could not comment on the XT4 issue because "he doesn't know what's going on."
"Steve can't confirm that one way or the other," Chynoweth said.
You have to love it when war breaks out between spokesmen.
More crucially, you must be wondering what the heck is happening to the precious Barcelona that's meant to revive AMD's attack against Intel. In the past, AMD executives have said both that Barcelona will ship by "mid-year" and "in the Summer." If we're talking July, we're talking the same thing. September, however, hardly counts as mid-year.
According to our sources, AMD will in fact ship Barcelona later than it hoped under the most optimistic circumstances. So, that means the chip will not flow in volume by mid-year. Instead, we're looking anywhere from late August through September. ®

Nephews and I are hoping to head to The Rio Salto and then south to the Barranca Tolantango ( or Tolontango or maybe Tolantongo depending on the map). Early in the process. The plan is evolving. Such as it is. The boys will be on their 950 Adventures and I am still deciding between the Big Ugly R1200GS Adv and KilLeR. Didn't much care for the Reynosa crossing but seems to make the most sense given our destination. If it ends up just us, maybe try for 7 days in Mexico. Want to see the Reserva Biosphera, too if possible. Too damn much to see. Any thoughts are welcome here or by pm.

Annals of cheap: 5manika.com
"Deflation" continues to be the word on everyone's lips when they talk about Japan's economic problems, but so far one area has resisted the price-reduction trend: apartment rents. That may be finally changing. According to a recent article in the Tokyo Shimbun, it is now possible to find a one-room apartment with bath and toilet in the 23 wards of Tokyo for less than ¥50,000 a month. Generally speaking, since the mid-'80s the only units in the center of the city that were less than ¥50,000 were those in old wooden apartment buildings with communal toilets and no bath, meaning you had to patronize the local sento (public bath). Tokyo Shimbun credits the rise of the Internet with the reduction in rent, since more real estate companies are publicizing properties on the net and, as a result, apartment-seekers have more of an opportunity to compare prices. Before the Internet, you had to basically visit every real estate office in the area where you wanted to live, which is a time-consuming endeavor.
One young entrepreneur, Kenji Yoshioka, is already profiting from the trend. A former employee for an investment fund who handled real estate, the 33-year-old set up a company called A Power Home last April and launched a website called Yachin Go-man-en Ika that advertises only apartments which are ¥50,000 a month or less. He was responding to the reality that younger full-time workers were less well off than their predecessors, who had bigger benefit packages, more assured salaries and, most importantly, the use of company housing. Young people wanted cheap apartments near their workplaces but didn't want to give up basic amenities, like a private toilet and bath. Yoshioka decided to collect this information in one easy-to-navigate website. It was an immediate hit and in October he even set up his own real estate company.
In most cases, the cheap apartments that Yoshioka publicizes are "sleeping," meaning that they've been vacant for some time. Normally when people go to realtors and specifically ask for apartments that are less than ¥50,000, the agents turn them away because the commission isn't really worth the time and effort. Landlords, however, are desperate to rent such places and many have remodeled them to make them more attractive while keeping prices affordable, adding things like sound-proofing and even elevators. Many attempt to attract women tenants (who make up more than 50 percent of single apartment-seekers looking for cheaper units) by allowing pets. Tokyo Shimbun mentions a one-room apartment with a loft, kitchen, unit bath-with-toilet, and even a window only ten minutes walk from Itabashi Station that costs ¥48,000 a month. There are even some properties listed for as low as ¥30,000 that have baths and toilets.
According to the real estate research company Home's, the average rent for a one-room apartment in Tokyo has decreased by 5.3 percent in the last year alone. In addition, security deposits on such units have decreased by 8 percent and gift money by 11 percent. Since the vacancy rate for apartments in general in Tokyo is more than 10 percent (undoubtedly higher for cheap one-rooms) it's not likely that rents will go up in the near future.

I loved the flying man image in my "7-Up Revival" collage and decided to try to use it again in a collage with a different story. Making art takes a lot of problem solving. Especially when you're trying to make something old new again, like my flying man. I've learned I have to look at problems from more than one perspective.
Flying makes me think of freedom, transformation and joy! I borrowed an angel head from one of my digital paintings and turned my flying man into a smiling girl! Doesn't that feel so much happier?
The old picture is me at 7 trying out my new Christmas umbrella on a sunny day. Lots of pictures were taken that day with my parents, grandparents and aunt. Family stories, laughing, love, chocolate fudge, belonging. "In the acorn lies the Oak." I've been an oak a long time, but I'll always remember that little acorn kindly.
This collage is a reminder to me. I've learned the sun is always shining up there somewhere. Even when the rain is pouring, it's up there. And that little Morton Girl taught us all, it's never too wet to spread a little salt around. The curved arrow image was drawn on the back of a love letter Chuck wrote me when I was just a sapling. It recalls the shared path we've been on and the many layers of our love.
I still carry that little girl with me wherever I go. I'm glad that 7-Up bottle taught her to be bold and seize the moment. She reminds me of that every now and then when I'm living on cruise control. Seize the moment...that's where the love is the sweetest!

Size: 330 ml
I continued my adventure in the Rake with another beer from 'T Smisje. The Tripel (#183) had been so good that I opted for the darker double, and am therefore quickly able to continue the story of Johan Brandt following his move of premises to Mater in Oudenaarde.
Between 1995 and 2008 as De Regenboog, the brewery was famous for an extensive range of experimental beers in the traditional style, pulling on interesting and distinctive ingredients, fruits, herbs and spices. Brandt had tried beers made with mustard seeds (Wostyntje), valerian root and lemon balm (BBBourgondier), honey and raisins (Guido), and sloes (Sleedornbier). Brandt had also worked his magic on maturing an ale for six months in Calvados barrels (Calva Reserva), very much in the style of similar beers from de Struise, Alvinne and de Dolle breweries.
In 2010 however it was with regret that I heard that Brandt had decided to take a break from the wide range of beers, and to concentrate his efforts on one or two house beers. Only a new blond hoppy ale called Smiske survives, with a seasonal variant at Christmas to be produced. He hasn't closed the door entirely though, and has given beer lovers the chance to still get their hands on one historic recipe per year if ten thousand people on Facebook will sign a petition for it. This has recently worked for the Duvel Tripel Hop, although I would hope in keeping with his fine traditions, Brandt doesn't rip off his customers at 15 Euros a pop, as Moortgat did.
So it is with regret that this 'T Smisje Dubbel was possibly the last one I would ever taste. In true Brandt fashion, this was no ordinary dubbel, having been made since 1997 with fresh dates and honey. At 9% strength it is also clearly no run of the mill double, abounding with plenty of guts and a sweetness that simply blows you away. I still probably reckon this is about the best beer I have ever had the pleasure of trying in a bar. My only regret was that I had taken the only one left in the overstocked refrigerators of The Rake. I will continue to look for it on my journeys into Belgium in the older and more eclectic beer stores, or else I may just have to hope a petition of like-minded souls can coerce Mr Brandt to somehow recreate this masterpiece.

Publication Archive
This archive contains all documents published by cep over the last few years:
cepAdhoc: Incisive comment on current EU policy issues.
cepPolicyBrief: Concise 4-page reviews of EU proposals (Regulations, Directives, Green Papers, White Papers, Communications) – including a brief summary and economic and legal assessments.
cepInput: Impulse to current discussions of EU policies.
cepStudy: Comprehensive examination of EU policy proposals affecting the economy.
The EU Commission wants to create a level playing field for providers of conventional and new types of electronic communications services (OTT services) and largely harmonise end-user rights. In cep's view, there is however no justification for the many proposed exceptions for number-independent interpersonal communications services in the area of end-user rights.
The share of renewable energy in overall EU energy consumption is to increase to 27% by 2030. This is set out in the EU Commission's Proposal for a Directive to promote energy from renewable sources ("renewables") post-2021. In cep's view, the Proposal allows Member States too much scope for developing inefficient and anti-competitive renewables support schemes.
The EU Commission wants to ensure that the energy efficiency of buildings is further increased. The proposed amendment to the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive is intended to remove "cumbersome" provisions and speed up the energy-related renovation of existing buildings. In cep's view, linking financial support for building renovation to the energy savings achieved, is an improvement on the status quo.
On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome, cep makes an appeal to national and EU politicians as well as to EU citizens.
Based on the realisation that Europe can only succeed together, cep provides a reminder of what has been achieved in the last 60 years, refers to the crises that are currently sending shock waves through the continent and then looks to the future.
The United Kingdom's creditworthiness is declining. This is the result of the latest cepDefault-Index 2017. The main reason for the decline is the population's high propensity to consume: since 2012, the population of the United Kingdom has consumed more than the total available income. Moreover, the competitiveness of the British economy declined for years.
According to the Commission, there are considerable weaknesses in the existing apparatus for supervising the telecommunications sector which consists of the national regulatory authorities (NRAs), other national authorities, the Commission, the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications (BEREC) and the BEREC Office. It therefore wants to restructure this apparatus.
The EU Commission wants to facilitate the use of protected content for public interest purposes by way of restrictions on copyright. At the same time it wants to ensure fair remuneration for rightholders and press publishers.
The turmoil threatening the very existence of the EU continues. Evidence for this is provided by the cepDefault-Index 2017. The cep authors point out that Greece in particular remains uncreditworthy and that there is no sign of any reversal in the trend. Apart from Greece; Italy, Latvia, Portugal, Slovenia and Cyprus indicate declining creditworthiness which has in addition become firmly established.

What I "Wood" Do (With a Pretty Pile of Wood)~
I also promised to show you what I did with it.
So here's what I did...
I used the wood to create this beautiful piece of art for the Loft Bedroom. And when I say I created the art, what I really mean is that it was a collaborative effort between my Papa, the Hubby and me. I came up with the initial idea based loosely on some art I saw in the Pottery Barn catalog and a photo I pinned on Pinterest.
More after the jump...
Then since my Papa has tons of scrap wood at his house, I took my idea to him to see if I could use some of his wood. And being the awesome Papa that he is, he cut all the wood for me. This was no easy task...we used five different kinds of wood: Black Walnut, Mahogany, Cedar, Oak and some random wood in his scrap pile. He cut all the wood down to 1" in width, but to add interest, he cut it to different lengths as well as different thicknesses. And he also cut a piece of plywood to 18" x 24" to act as the base. (What a guy, huh?)
Then I brought home the whole pile of wood and the Hubby and I worked together to come up with a pattern that was pleasing to the eye - because two sets of eyes are sometimes better than one.
Then the Hubby (bless his heart) used wood glue to adhere all the pieces to the plywood. The wood glue worked great! Those pieces aren't going anywhere.
We had initially planned to either paint some of the pieces or to stain the piece...but after we saw it all put together, we decided to leave the wood as is...we even love the saw marks...it all adds such great texture to the piece.
But now we're having a slight disagreement. You see, I initially envisioned the piece hanging portrait style (vertically) in the Loft Bedroom...
I'm hoping to get the Loft Bedroom finished in the next week or two...so we have to decide which way to hang it by then. ;-)
Have a great day~

The Los Angeles Galaxy announced on Tuesday that veteran midfielder Clint Mathis has decided to retire, thus putting an end to an illustrious 13-year professional career that included a brilliant goal in the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
"It has been an amazing and exciting ride, full of moments and people that will stay with me forever," said Mathis in a press release. "I cannot thank everyone who has been a part of this journey with me enough for all that you have done to help me enjoy such a fulfilling life in the sport of soccer."
COMMENTARY: One of MLS' greatest personalities
Mathis, a first-round pick for the Galaxy in the 1998 MLS College Draft, tallied five goals and 10 assists in his rookie season, establishing himself as one of the league's rising talents as LA took home the Supporters' Shield.
The midfielder's talent caught the eye of then US head coach Bruce Arena, who gave Mathis his first international cap in a 0-0 draw against Australia. Mathis would go on to play 45 more matches for the US National Team, scoring 12 goals, the most memorable of which was a spectacular left-footed volley on the run against South Korea in the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
TOP 10: Mathis' best career moments
After three seasons with the Galaxy, Mathis was shipped off to New York halfway through the 2000 season. That year, he completed a season double-double (16 goals, 14 assists), which included an MLS record-setting five-goal performance in a match against Dallas. Mathis also earned an All-Star nod and an MLS MVP nomination as the MetroStars finished first in the East and went on to the MLS Cup semifinals.
READ: Mathis' career by the numbers
"Clint was a real talent capable of doing exciting things on the field, and along with his personality he brought some qualities that few American players have possessed," said current USMNT head coach Bob Bradley, Mathis' coach at New York in 2003.
In 2001, Mathis scored seven times in his first six games before suffering a season-ending injury. The injury slowed his production, but he was still impressive enough to earn interest abroad. In 2004, he saw his dream of playing abroad come to fruition when he signed with the Bundesliga's Hannover 96. In two and a half seasons, he appeared 17 times and scored five goals for Hannover. But his stay in Germany was not without controversy. Clashes with the coach eventually led to a falling out with the club.
He returned to MLS in 2005 and landed with Real Salt Lake before moving on to Colorado in 2006. The next season, Mathis returned to New York, this time under the Red Bulls banner. Throughout his NY career, the midfielder scored 45 goals, a record just recently surpassed by Juan Pablo Angel.
At the end of 2007, Mathis briefly returned to LA, but in 2008 he went back to Salt Lake, where he spent two seasons and was an integral part of last year's MLS Cup-winning side.
"I have always admired his unparalleled abilities on the field," said Jason Kreis, Mathis' teammate with Real Salt Lake and with the US, and his coach with Real Salt Lake. "He was a fantastic player, with a fantastic competitive spirit, and someone that has always been capable of making the really special plays.
"He was an integral piece of the rebuilding of our club here at Real Salt Lake since rejoining us in 2008, and was a huge factor in the changing of our competitive spirit. I am so pleased that he can retire knowing that he was part of something incredibly special and truly historic – a championship-winning team."
Finally, in 2010, Mathis returned back to his MLS team of origin, a side with which he will play for one last time when the Galaxy take on Spanish giants Real Madrid in a friendly match to be held in the Rose Bowl on Saturday.
BUY TICKETS: LA vs. Real Madrid
"I have had the pleasure of coaching Clint with both the National Team and in MLS with the Galaxy and Red Bulls and we will miss having his presence with the club for the rest of the season," said Arena, now the Galaxy's coach. "He was as good a goal-scorer as our country has ever produced. We will miss Clint and are indebted to his contributions to MLS and US Soccer."

The Appeal via Nevada DMV
Walter Samaszko Jr.
When Walter Samaszko Jr. died at his home in Carson City, Nev., he had $200 in a bank account. But as officials later discovered, Samaszko had about $7 million stored neatly around his home, the Nevada Appeal reported.
In late June, neighbors called authorities because of a smell emanating from Samaszko's home. He was a recluse who had told them he hated the government and feared getting shots, but still, it had been a while since they had seen him, according to the Appeal.
According to the coroner, Samaszko, 69, had been dead for at least a month. He died of heart problems, the Las Vegas Sun reported.
In came the cleanup crews, which discovered boxes of gold in the garage.
"At that point, we took the house apart," said Carson City clerk-recorder Alan Glover.
They found gold coins and bullion, tiny dos-pesos, $20 gold pieces, Austrian ducats, Kruggerrands and English Sovereigns dating to the 1840s – enough gold to fill two wheelbarrows.
Samaszko and his mother had lived in the three-bedroom home since the 1970s, which is around the time they started collecting gold. Glover told the Appeal that the two kept detailed records of the gold they had purchased.
As for who can lay claim to the riches -- Glover said the Internal Revenue Service will take a sizable amount in taxes -- about $750,000 -- and that the rest will likely go to a first cousin, a substitute teacher in San Rafael, Calif., who is Samaszko's only relative as far as authorities can tell.
The Las Vegas Sun reported that Glover's office found her using a list of people who had attended Samaszko's mother's funeral.
Samaszko's home is currently for sale for $105,000.

Treasurer's Report - Winter 2003
Charles E. Robertson
Announcer, Vol. 33, Iss. 4
The Bauder Endowment
A former member of the AAPT, "Cappy" Capecelatro, was asked by his neighbors Frederick and Florence Bauder if he knew of any organizations to which they could donate money. Capecelatro was a very active member of both the New Jersey Section and the national AAPT, so he did what comes naturally. He suggested AAPT, and in 1986 the Frederick and Florence Bauder Endowment for the Support of Physics Teaching was established with their donation of $140,000. Since that time interest payments have increased the size of the Bauder fund to more than $250,000.
The activities supported by the Bauder fund include, but are not limited to:
1. Providing expense-only grants for the development and distribution of innovative apparatus for physics teaching;
2. Providing funds to obtain and/or build and support traveling exhibits of apparatus;
3. Providing funds for scholarship grants to attend physics courses provided by colleges and universities, enabling teachers to enrich their knowledge of and ability to teach physics.
An advisory committee was created within the Association to provide advice and guidance to the Executive Board in the selection of projects for support from the endowment. This committee meets twice a year to hear an annual report of the activities of the New Jersey Section, to hear reports from previously funded projects, and to discuss and vote on new proposals. The committee also is in contact electronically so that proposals can be discussed and voted on without waiting until the next Association meeting.
Members of the committee are: Robert Beck Clark, Brigham Young University; Ray Polomski, Dumont High School; Deborah Rice, Gateway Institute of Technology; Chuck Robertson, University of Washington; and Gerald Zani, Brown University.
In compliance with the endowment, payments from the fund are divided between worthy projects of the New Jersey Section and projects of other AAPT members.
I have been amazed at the activities of the New Jersey Section. In January 2003 they sponsored a Physics Olympics with 28 teams from 23 schools. In February they had 18 attendees at a workshop who were shown methods of teaching concepts. Materials were distributed, and items were made for the classroom. The next day, more than 100 attended an evening demonstration program given by Dave Maiullo. During the year, they also sponsored a Jacobâ??s Ladder â??make and take,â?? a QuarkNet symposium, and a workshop that brought together physics teachers from three New Jersey and one New York county to exchange ideas on teaching methods. These activities were partially or fully supported by the Bauder fund.
During the past year the fund also supported many activities carried out by other members of the Association. PIRA received $4400 for the printing (both paper and compact disc) of Demonstration Experiments in Physics by Richard Manliffe Sutton. (This has been exceptionally successful, and PIRA has given $2200 back to the endowment.) A project ($500), titled National Seminar â?? Workshop on Philippine Physics Education Beyond 2000, was international in scope. Another very successful project was the Physics on the Road Workshop, which was cosponsored by the APS. The Bauder fund donated $5000 to this project, the participants of which will be participating in the World Year of Physics in 2005. We also funded ($500) the production of 100 CDs that contain information on demonstrations, the catalog system, vendors, web resources, and other items.
One purpose of this report is to inform you that there is money available to the members of AAPT for their projects, as long as they meet the criteria set forth above. They do not have to be big thousand-dollar projects. If you want to give a demonstration workshop for your local high school teachers, the Bauder fund can probably help if you need equipment. (Please donâ??t try to outfit your classroom with equipment bought with Bauder funds. That is not what the Bauder family had in mind.)
If you have ideas, get an application form (http://www.aapt.org/Grants/bauderfund.cfm) and send it to me. Send two if you have two good ideas. Like Jell-O, there is always room for one more.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Suns announced Friday that installation of a new scoreboard and videoboard is underway at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville.
Two digital video screens will also be installed into the outfield wall. The project is scheduled to be completed prior to the Florida vs. Florida State baseball game on March 26 and will be fully functional by Suns Opening Night on April 4.
The new scoreboard and outfield wall screens will replace the original scoreboard and tri-vision wall signs installed in 2003 when the Baseball Grounds were constructed.
Officials said that over the last several years the Suns and facilities management company SMG have struggled to keep the old equipment functional. Malfunctions during the 2011 Florida vs. Florida State game resulted in a complete scoreboard blackout. They said the new equipment will help bolster the Baseball Grounds' appeal as the city continues to pursue opportunities to host the ACC and other collegiate baseball tournaments.
Both the new videoboard and outfield wall screens are being manufactured and installed by TS Sports, of Dallas. The videoboard will feature a 58-foot by 25-foot, 10mm, high-definition screen and include a fully digital and customizable scoreboard. Two 6-feet by 72-feet, 10mm high-definition video screens will replace the six rotating, tri-vision outfield wall panels.
"I am truly excited for the fans as well as the players at how much nicer this new scoreboard will be," said Suns president and owner Peter Bragan Jr. "It was getting hard to keep that old one running all the time, and it was difficult to see all the numbers and writing on it. We wanted the new one to look at least a little like the real old one from Wolfson Park in the '60s that had sunrays sticking out all around. This one has a place at the very top for a big Suns logo."
The $1.2 million project is being funded by the Tourist Development Council, with revenue generated from the city's occupancy tax, which is applied to all hotel rooms in the city. A portion of the occupancy tax is allocated annually for maintenance, capital improvements and general enhancements of all the sports complex facilities, including EverBank Field, Veterans Memorial Arena, and the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville.
"I would like to thank the mayor's office, SMG and everyone else for working with the Suns to make this happen, in time for the 2013 Southern League All-Star Game, which is July 17", said GM Chris Peters. "We will have people from all over our league, as well as other baseball representatives and dignitaries here this summer, and the new scoreboard will really make Jacksonville shine."

She's Notre Dame's first black valedictorian
By Floyd Miller
— History is being made at the University of Notre Dame this spring. In the 161 years the University of Notre Dame has been awarding degrees, never had there been an African-American as valedictorian. Until this year. She's Katie Washington of Gary, Indiana. She carries a 4.0 GPA majoring in biology and minoring in Catholic social teaching. According to the Northwest Indiana Times, Washington plans to continue her studies at Johns Hopkins University and follow in her father's footsteps into medicine. Washington says she's humbled by the honor of being named valedictorian. More information from Notre Dame University: Katie Washington, a biological sciences major from Gary, Ind., has been named valedictorian of the 2010 University of Notre Dame graduating class and will present the valedictory address during Commencement exercises May 16 in Notre Dame stadium. Washington, who earned a 4.0 grade point average, has a minor in Catholic Social Teaching. She has conducted research on lung cancer at the Cold Spring Harbor labs and performed genetic studies in the University's Eck Institute for Global Health on the mosquito that carries dengue and yellow fever. She is the co-author of a research paper with David Severson, professor of biological sciences. Washington directs the Voices of Faith Gospel Choir at Notre Dame, is a mentor/tutor for the Sister-to-Sister program at South Bend's Washington High School and serves as the student coordinator of the Center for Social Concerns' "Lives in the Balance: Youth Violence and Society Seminar." Upon graduation, Washington plans to pursue a joint M.D./Ph.D program at Johns Hopkins University.

Ranked PvP on The Red Eclipse: A Community Effort
What I've been finding the most fascinating about sticking my nose into this whole ranked PvP business however is the enormous community effort behind it. If you're routinely involved in that kind of thing it might not seem that special, but as an outsider looking in I've been finding it absolutely fascinating.
Basically, ranked PvP is currently "broken" for three reasons:
1. The same-server limitation results in a very limited number of participants, considering that this is a very hardcore style of play. You can't queue up at random and hope to get a pop.
2. Due to the limited amount of players, the matchmaking system doesn't really work, and if you do eventually end up getting into a game as a new team, you'll just end up playing one of a handful of top guilds. This means that newcomers have little to no hope of actually getting a "fair" match and most end up too discouraged to keep trying before they even have a chance to get better.
3. This is something that I hadn't considered last time since it's something that doesn't really affect people on a more casual level of play, but in ranked, class imbalance is a real issue right now. In random warzones it's annoying to run into a lot of people playing the current flavour of the month, but there will always be enough players who don't care to min-max their characters to that extent that you'll end up with a mix of different classes regardless. In ranked however, putting together the best team you can currently pretty much means taking only two specs (bubble stunners and smashers).
I don't know for sure, but I suspect that it was that last point that got the ball rolling since it is something that affects even the most hardcore of PvPers. Sure, they do have the resources to field a team consisting of only two classes, but is that really fun? At least on The Red Eclipse, the top PvP guilds decided that the answer to this question was no.
As a result...
1. There is a "gentlemen's agreement" to not use stun bubbles in ranked PvP at all, and to limit the number of smash spec knights/warriors as well as that of pyro Powertechs/Assault Specialist Vanguards per team to one or two. People communicate about this via the inofficial server forums and IRC to ensure that both sides involved in any given game adhere to the rules.
2. Partly because of point 1, newer teams are encouraged to get their feet wet in ranked, because at least they don't have to worry about having a one hundred percent optimised group setup. They'll still lose just as badly to the top teams to be honest, but at least it's obvious that it's due to skill and not flavour of the month class stacking.
3. In addition, several of the top PvP guilds have started to field "alt teams" to give newer guilds more of a fighting chance in their ranked games. Specific nights of the week are also dedicated to A- and B-team play respectively, though this seems to be a very malleable agreement as it's still way too easy to come up against an A-team with your own team of ranked newbies.
While it's hard not to think about how this is something that players shouldn't have to do, it's still an impressive effort in my opinion.
1. The game should be able to pool sufficient numbers of players interested in ranked PvP together so that they can play each other whenever they want - but since it doesn't, we'll encourage more people on our own server to take part to up the numbers.
2. The game should have a matchmaking system that allows players with a wide range of skills to participate in games appropriate to their skill level - but since it doesn't, we'll try to even the odds by practising our own matchmaking.
3. The game should be sufficiently balanced that you can take more than two or three classes into competitive PvP and still win - but since it isn't, we'll reject what's so overpowered as to ruin it all and have fun with the rest.
It's by no means a perfect system, and who knows how well it will work in the long run - but I do think that it's a very admirable initiative to fix a broken system. I hope that Bioware is paying attention and taking some notes.

A very heart-warming story! The thought that a player community can (mainly) resist the temptation to 'win at all costs' over having a better shared experience. Have you heard if other serves have such an agreement or is it a lone success story?ReplyDeleteReplies
I don't know, "heart-warming" is not the first word that would've come to mind for me considering that this isn't exactly a tale of great altruism (everyone's trying to make it more fun for themselves after all). :P And the better teams still win with non-optimal group compositions while everyone plays with non-optimal group compositions.Delete
And as far as I know we're the only server with this kind of rule system at the moment.

Hello, first time poster here.ReplyDelete
Anyways, I don't think there is much that Bioware can do with ranked. Even Blizzard has problems with ranked battlegrounds. There just aren't enough players interested in it. It was one of those things that sounded obvious but didn't work out. "We already got ranked arenas (small group PvP). Let's add ranked battlegrounds!."
Queue times in WoW ranked battlegrounds with cross-server are still bad. You're lucky to get one match in the entire evening (7pm-12am). Like SWTOR, your team is just as likely to get stomped. Only the really dedicated teams keep queuing up.Replies
I wouldn't expect the system to ever be completely problem-free, but I do think there is room for some improvement at the moment.Delete
Also, it's been a while since we last had any class balance changes; I would think that people voluntarily banning certain classes from their games for being too OP is a sign that that needs looking at as well. :P
I play Rated BGs every weekend, and I've never had the kind of problems with queues you're talking about. Wait times for my team range from 1 to 5 m, with the average being about 3 m or so, and this is usually with a mongrel team composed of people from two to three servers. Just my 2 cents.Delete

@ Thandar, my question is why doesn't or didn't Bio put in Arenas? Ranked or otherwise? Without cross servers I would think ranked arenas would make more sense? I'm certainly glad Bio is adding content, but I think I would rather have arenas or an in game raid calender rather than more things to grind out like reputations.Delete
Share your opinion! Everyone is welcome, as long as things stay polite. No sign-in required. I also read comments on older posts, so don't be shy. :)

Is it ok to use pictures from other places to describe locations and scenery? lets say something like this and if so should i upload them to the wiki or make a link to them--Hananack 10:56, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, but you must provide a link back to the original picture when you upload it, and you must give it a license that properly describes it (in this case, fair use). Surgo 13:40, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
- Are there any special cases? Times when you can't use a image? Also, could i get a link to the fair use terms?--ThirdEmperor 09:22, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
- No, no special cases.--Hananack 09:50, January 29, 2010 (UTC)
- So I can grab any picture as long as I leave a link? Sweet.--ThirdEmperor 02:55, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
- Not quite. If the website says you can't use it, you...can't use it. Period. Surgo 20:20, January 31, 2010 (UTC)

Gottshall, William Shelly (1865-1941)
William Shelly Gottshall (b. 23 June 1865, d. 2 March 1941), an outstanding Mennonite (General Conference Mennonite) leader and long-time minister—1884-1941, was born near Schwenksville, Pennsylvania, the son of Bishop Moses and Mary (Shelly) Gottschall. He married Anna K. von Nieda. He attended Perkiomen Seminary and Ursinus College and graduated from Ursinus Theological Seminary in 1889. He was ordained preacher 15 October 1884, and elder 24 November 1886. He served as pastor in the following churches: Schwenksville, Pennsylvania, 1884-1905, Allentown-Upper Milford, Pennsylvania, 1905-1909; Bluffton, Ohio, the three Swiss churches, 1909-1924; Salem, Freeman, South Dakota, 1924-1930; East Swamp, Quakertown, Pennsylvania, 1930-1938.
Gottshall was widely active in district and general conference work. He was a member of the Home Mission Board for 42 years (1896-1938), serving 22 years as chairman and 12 years as secretary. He was widely known as a Bible expositor and effective preacher and served much in Bible conference work, and was strictly conservative in his theological position.

That's according to the Santa Maria (Calif.) Times, which cited faculty members at Pioneer Valley High School, where Reed coached basketball and golf:
Early reports are that Reed, who lives in Nipomo, had trouble breathing early in the morning and was taken to an area hospital where he went into cardiac arrest and could not be revived.
In March 2000, Reed went public with an accusation that Indiana basketball coach Bob Knight had choked him during a Hoosiers practice three years earlier. A month later, video of the incident surfaced. A few months after that, Knight, at the time the winningest coach in Division I, was fired after an altercation in which he physically confronted another Indiana student.
Reed transferred to Southern Miss shortly after the choking incident happened. He earned his degree there and later
worked interned briefly for ESPN before moving to California and getting a master's degree and a teaching certificate. He leaves behind a wife and two daughters. He was 36.

As a producer and a person who believes that higher life has intrinsic value; they are aware of their existence. Therefore, I adhere to a set of self-imposed standards for the preparation of my feeder calves. I do not concern myself with what other producers are doing other than participation in organizations like the Kentucky Cattleman Association which strives to improve the husbandry of cattle. I don't spend my time pondering the "rights and wrongs" that occur on this planet. But there are people who do and more power to them.
Above you stated, "The question is: what does the cow-calf producer need to do differently to move their calves from high risk to low risk?"
My question: Do the feedlots track the source of their livestock so they can reward those who are putting an effort into proper preparation. If I remember, you answered that question in a PM. Going a little further: I wean my calves, I convert them to high carbohydrate feed, I vaccinate them, I adapt them to direct human intervention, etc. I hope that results in less stress when they start the journey from my farm to the slaughter house. I hope my preparations provide them with a higher quality of life. I don't worry about the end of their life. Death is a tranquill state of non-existence. I want them to "enjoy" their state of existence.
Now my issue: The producers that have good protocols and prepare their products for the "feedlot" should get a reward in the form of higher prices. That does not happen here. My neighbor jerks his calves straight off the cow and ships them. He never puts a needle in a calf unless the vet comes to treat one that is sick. His calves sell for the same amount as mine do. So the average guy who does not prepare his calves in the proper manner has no incentive other than his personal values and standards.
Do you have the option to sell directly? We are still growing our herd and won't be doing much selling for awhile but already get asked several times a month whether and when we will have anything for sale. When we do, the price will reflect that they are well-cared for, natural, grass-fed (yeah, and we'll still probably be in the hole). Anyone hoping our plan is to sell beef cheaper than the walmart down the street can just keep drivin'.
Do you have restauranteurs who would like a source of high-quality beef that they can advertise in their menu is locally-sourced, hand-petted etc?
I need to check that.

Standing or Sitting?
Paolo Veronese: The marriage at Cana (1562)
one of the earliest pictorial representations: Paolo Veronese´s painting "The Marriage at Cana" (1562) shows a double bass player in the sitting position playing an instrument the size of a man. Conversely, there are also depictions of smaller instruments being played in the standing position. From reports, it seems that the double bass has always been played both ways, regardless of the size of the instrument (not counting Vuillaume´s monstrous Octobasse). This applies both to chamber music and to orchestral playing. Corrette describes standing "Basso al Cembalo" players, while double bass players who shared a desk with cellists (which was normal practice in the Baroque orchestra) presumably played sitting down. It was not until the middle of the 19th century that double bass players, who were by then constituted into groups, switched more and more to the sitting position, as illustrated by pictures from this period (e.g. of the orchestra of the Covent Garden Opera House in 1846). On the other hand, the double bassists of the Kassel State Orchestra obstinately continued to play standing up until as late as the 1980s.
from: Charles Labro - Méthode de contrebasse (Paris, 1860)
With the modern easily-transportable double bass stools, the number of sitting players has significantly increased. Present-day bass stools are much more comfortable and ergonomic than the old wooden "high stools", the appearance of which was evocative of a torture device – an appear-
ance which those who had to sit on them for hours at a time discovered was not deceptive!

Statue of St. Nicholas of Tolentino - the eleventh one on the left looking from the Old Town Bridge Tower
the eleventh one on the left looking from the Old Town Bridge Tower
The statue was created by Jeroným Bedřich Kohl in 1708 and donated by the Convent of the Augustinian Order by the Church of St. Thomas in Prague. It shows St. Nicolas of Tolentino, a benefactor of the poor, giving out bread; next to him there is an angel holding a basket with bread. The cartouche on a simple prismal pedestal has the Latin inscription To the consoler of the faithful; below the cartouche there is the Latin inscription To St. Nicholas of Tolentino, who made miracles with miraculously exuded blood and blessed bread. The original of the statue is in Gorlice at Vyšehrad; the copy on the bridge was made by J. Jiřikovský in 1969. – Below the statue, on the right, there is a staircase in the Gothic Revival style connecting Charles Bridge with Kampa.

Emre Arisoy - 1988 Buick Century
When he came from Turkey two years ago to intern in the U.S., 26-year-old Emre Arisoy wanted to immerse himself in American culture.
"This car appealed to me because it's just so American," he says. "All the old films from the States that I saw in Istanbul had Buicks in them."
So it was only appropriate that he assign his ride an all-American name. "Sugarmama" may be nearly 20 years old, but she's Arisoy's pride and joy; his initials are on the license plates, followed by the number 34, the prefix for all license plates issued in Istanbul.
"It's still like new," he says. "It only has 50,000 miles on it, and it's never needed work."
Arisoy eyes the paint that's just beginning to peel on the hood.
"Well, not yet."
