Recent research shows that a cautious approach to lateral hiring pays dividends
Earlier this year Motive Legal Consulting conducted research into 1,944 partner moves in London over a five-year period (July 2005-July 2010).
The research revealed a serious degree of attrition, with many partners exiting quickly - presumably before they had begun to deliver much, if any, profit to firms they had joined. While attrition in the first two years is, as might be expected, modest, further down the line the proportion of those quitting becomes much higher. The research found that a third of partners left the firm they joined after three years, while after five years the percentage jumps to 44 per cent.
What the research did not attempt to look at is to what extent law firms' lateral hiring programmes deliver value.
Pair game
To investigate this point Motive has returned to the same data set of 1,944 lateral partner hires over five years, comparing six pairs of London firms chosen from the available data.
The pairs were chosen according to a number of criteria including: similar size; similar strategy/focus; similar geographic location/spread; similar revenue per partner (RPP); no major mergers during that time; and differing (in most cases) lateral hiring strategies.
The pairs were compared at the 'starting line' of financial year 2005-06 and the 'finish line' of 2009-10.
The purpose of the research was to determine what effect firms' lateral hiring programmes might have had on their financial performance during the five-year period.
The research found that firms with a conservative lateral hiring strategy have been more successful than either their more active or minimally active direct competitors.
Weighing up the options
Finding six pairs of firms with comparable competitive positions was a delicate task, given the sheer number of variables in play. To choose simply on average profit per equity partner (PEP), for example, would have been misleading. PEP can be manipulated by restricting access to senior equity, among other things. Similarly, to simply look at corresponding turnover would not have reflected all aspects of profitability and so on.
While a range of factors were compared and contrasted, the key determinant was RPP, a measure that takes in all partners, whatever their status, providing a levelling baseline.
Key to the selection of this criterion was the fact that although the role of partners may vary widely from firm to firm (and, indeed, within firms), and even within the same status band (for example equity), the word 'partner' has certain connotations, and implies certain behaviours and responsibilities, even if these may be curtailed in one particular firm compared with another. Partners, whatever their status, are there to win, keep and supervise work.
When a partner seeks to move, and when a firm seeks to hire a partner, these behaviours, responsibilities and connotations are implicit in the recruitment brief and ever-present in the minds of those assembled, thus removing many potential distinctions between partners at one firm and another.
On the recruitment market, firms are competing with others of similar 'punching weight', and partners tend to gravitate towards firms of a similar weight to their own experience and practice in RPP terms. More often than not, where a partner has a choice this will be between firms in similar financial positions.
Therefore, the success or otherwise of a lateral hiring programme will often depend, at least in part, on the firm's ability to persuade a partner in direct competition with a comparable rival.
Patterns of growth
Lateral hiring remains the primary growth strategy of law firms. It is taken as read that hiring partners or teams with the elusive factor of a 'client following' is a good thing, but is this correct in all cases?
It stands to reason that hiring excellent partners with masses of profitable revenue who integrate well and do not force people out of the door is going to be a good thing, but how often is this really happening?
The conclusions to be drawn from the comparison of the data in this exercise are not definitive, but are perhaps illustrative of some patterns of law firm growth strategy.
Some may look at the research and say it is distorted by the recession, but the data is deliberately self-referential and the pairs of firms selected started from similar, if not identical, positions.
Firms are only being judged on their own benchmarks and against their nearest comparator, and what could be a more apt comparison, regardless of economic conditions?
Nevertheless, this is perhaps as much a judgement on firms' reactions to recessionary pressures and overall business strategies as it is on lateral hiring per se.
That some firms can put on a PEP increase of 26 per cent in five years while others can see their PEP decline by 30 per cent would suggest some widely differing responses to tough economic conditions in the latter part of the research period.
Best of both worlds
This research would seem to indicate that excessive or sloppy lateral hiring (ie having a high attrition rate) can put law firms at a serious disadvantage vis-à-vis their competitors. In all cases, firms with lower attrition rates and generally lower hiring rates have performed better than their nearest rivals.
Equally, being too conservative about hiring leads to sluggish performance. Too much new blood in a firm risks washing away what is there already or diluting the culture; too little and the firm stagnates, with new, organically generated partners unable to drive revenue growth.
Partner behaviours are also manifest in the figures. Firms whose RPP has increased while their revenue per lawyer (RPL) has fallen suffer badly in profitability terms - unsurprising, as partners would seem to be hoarding work, perhaps redolent of a culture where partners are under severe pressure concerning personal performance rather than business-building, or perhaps where compensation is too tightly tied to partners' personal billings.
This will, in turn, affect lateral hiring. Self-sufficiency is all very well, but in extremis it can work against successful integration and create a firm composed of sole traders that will inevitably be more volatile - and hence more expensive - to run.
It seems that the best hiring strategy is what might be called the Goldilocks solution: not too hot, not too cold, but just right.
- Other measures of growth
Law firm development is affected by many factors, of which lateral partner hiring is but one.
Partners leaving and taking clients with them, clients quitting the firm or being taken over, international offices being added or lost, downward pressure on fees and changing profitability due to competition and economic factors can all have a significant impact on firms.
However, lateral partner hiring remains the main perceived engine of law firm growth, with practically every large firm in the market having a dedicated programme - if not a strategy - of hiring partners.
It stands to reason, therefore, that these programmes must be presumed to have some effect to law firm financials over time – otherwise, why do it?
It is not possible to say whether firms with fairly static figures over the period have been adversely affected by other factors - that is to say that they have been effectively running to stand still.
Equally, it is not possible to say that firms with big lateral hire programmes that have experienced significant growth in profits and turnover have done so as a result of this, although the case is perhaps stronger.
Thus the results presented here cannot provide a definitive guide: there are just too many variables involved.
However, what they show is how similar firms doing similar work and producing similar RPP figures but having different lateral hiring and integration strategies have performed.
Pair 1: City-based international firms
These firms provide a general service to substantial UK and international clients. The pair had virtually identical turnover, RPP, PEP and gross profit margin figures at the start of the period.
Conservative win
These two organisations started the survey period with pretty much identical RPPs as well as very similar turnovers, partnership sizes and PEP figures.
Whereas Firm B's RPL figure was quite a bit lower than Firm A's initially, by 2010 Firm B had closed the gap, showing a big increase in turnover and keeping its profit margin steady, although equity partners seem to have taken a hit in difficult trading conditions.
While the firms' hiring strategies seem to have been broadly similar, Firm B was either picking better or integrating better, for its attrition rate is a quarter that of Firm A.
What appears to be a more conservative strategy all round, with a continuing emphasis on partners delegating work at Firm B (RPP +4 per cent, RPL +12 per cent) rather than keeping it to themselves at Firm A (RPP +11 per cent, RPL -14 per cent) seems to have paid dividends, albeit at the expense of the headline PEP figure.
Although there is, in some respects, little to choose between the two, Firm B's more careful hiring strategy seems to have paid off, with the firm now being some 20 per cent larger than its rival and having closed the gap on the important measures of RPP and RPL.
Pair 2: national firms
Surprisingly, this was a more complicated grouping in which to find direct comparators, given the seeming similarity in strategies. These two are quality firms relying primarily on UK sources for their fee incomes. They had similar RPPs at the start, although one was smaller in turnover and size of partnership. They have very different lateral hire strategies.
Cushioning the crunch
These two also started out with a virtually identical 'punching weight' in terms of RPP, although one was larger than the other in terms of turnover and partner numbers, and its PEP was higher (albeit with a lower gross profit margin), indicative of a tighter equity structure.
They had different growth strategies across the period. Firm A followed a reasonably substantial lateral hires programme, hiring 29 partners while cutting partner numbers overall (what some might call 'upgrading'). Firm B, meanwhile, hired cautiously - just six appointments in five years - preferring instead to bring partners in at the bottom and not cut numbers, resulting in an 11 per cent increase in partners.
Both firms suffered in tough trading conditions, with profit margin and PEP down, but Firm A's hiring strategy, despite a 24 per cent fallout rate, seems to have cushioned it, with marginal improvements in RPP and RPL allowing it to slow its decline in PEP. Its rival suffered badly, with home-grown talent seemingly unable to generate more work from existing clients or bring in new ones, with resultant double-digit drops in RPP and RPL and a brutal 30 per cent reduction in headline PEP.
Pair 3: City-based sector-focused firms
Both these firms are specialists in a particular broad sector, although both have general service capability and international interests. They started with similar financials in some regards (RPL, PEP and RPP) but differences in turnover, number of partners and profit margin, with the smaller of the two being superficially the superior financial performer.
Risk-free reward
From very similar starting positions these two specialist super-boutiques adopted quite different growth strategies.
Firm A chose a radical strategy of lateral hiring, equivalent to almost half its partnership in new arrivals, with an overall boost to partner numbers of more than a third in the five-year period.
Firm B seems to have chosen much more carefully, its attrition rate among its fewer lateral hires just a tenth of its rival's. Instead, it underwent a mini-merger (not included in the lateral hires figures here), taking in what amounted to several teams, boosting not only turnover and partner numbers, but also, in concert with its lateral hire programme, hiking all its other measures.
Both firms suffered from tough trading conditions, but Firm B seems to have weathered them better thanks to a more conservative and less fluid - and therefore less risky - strategy.
Pair 4: City-based private wealth firms
These firms are what one might term City-based 'independents', reliant for a high proportion of their income on private wealth, including private client, trusts, real estate and matrimonial work. Both have international interests to some degree.
hey started in an almost identical position with regard to size of partnership and PEP, also having similar profit margin, turnover and RPP figures.
Fortune favours the brave
These firms started with many similar figures across the board - turnover, size, profit and PEP - although Firm B's RPP and RPL stats were higher, indicating perhaps a tighter equity at Firm A and better fundamentals at its rival.
The five-year period has put clear blue water between the two, with Firm B besting its rival on every measure, although both have seen their headline PEP figures fall.
Both firms in this category have pursued pretty conservative hiring strategies, although the increase in partner numbers at Firm B indicates that either more partners have been made up in the period or fewer lost, or most likely both.
From this distance, Firm A's distinctly sluggish performance across the five-year period does not seem to have benefited from the injection of new lateral hire blood in the same way other firms have.
One could conjecture that Firm A has been too conservative, or perhaps simply more ineffective, at persuading the right lateral hires to join.
Pair 5: Scottish firms
Both these firms are based in Scotland and both have significant London operations. The firms were almost identical in size, turnover and RPP terms at the start of the surveyed period, although PEP was slightly higher in one than the other, and profit margin considerably greater.
Soft on laterals
The two Scottish firms in our sample started out head-to-head in many respects, with similar turnover and partnership numbers, and broadly comparable in other measures.
Both pursued significant lateral hiring programmes, with Firm A channelling some of its lateral hiring energy into securing a mini-merger - something its rival eschewed, preferring single partners.
Firm B seems to be the clear winner across the period, most notably losing not a single one of the 15 partners hired during the period. However, its performance over the five years can be seen to be pretty static, with increases in partner numbers and turnover not producing any corresponding increase in the fundamental numbers of RPP and RPL, and PEP only inching up.
However, this conservative strategy is enough to have let it put a little distance between it and its now larger rival, Firm A, whose fundamentals have gone the other way, with revenue, profit and headline PEP all falling.
One might ask, though, whether Firm B is being tough enough on its laterals. It is all very well to lose none, but if they are not bringing a marked financial difference to the firm, should another strategy not be considered?
Pair 6: Midtown firms
Our last pair are quite different firms, based in 'Midtown': between the City and the West End. The two started off looking very similar in many ways, virtually identical in size and with comparable RPP and RPL figures, but radically different in character and approach.
All's well
In some ways this final pairing is the most interesting because the two firms are, culturally, chalk and cheese.
However, at the start of the survey period they had many similar financial fundamentals.
The only real differences between the two were in the amounts of revenue, and hence profits, being driven through partners. The partners at Firm A were getting much more bang for their buck than those at Firm B.
In the intervening period Firm A adopted a radical lateral hiring strategy, taking in 20 partners, equivalent to almost half the original number. Firm B was a lot more conservative in this regard. That conservatism extended to selection and integration, with Firm B losing not a single hire in the period, compared with a 25 per cent attrition rate at its comparator.
By the end of the period, Firm B has closed the profit gap on Firm A despite the latter's 'sound and fury' lateral hire programme, and both headline profits and margin were up, although both firms could be said to have weathered the economic storm pretty well compared with the market norm.

My old firm will take on any partner who has worked in London regardless of ability / clients etc.
One partner billed £32,000 in 2009. It would be okay if they had bought in lots of other work, but unfortunately his clients only brought in £31,000 in fees.
So what do you think the partnership did... yep, they axed some assistants. Is this a good strategy?

The subtitle of this book published by Wipf and Stock is Worship for Life in the Spirit of Prophecy. The worship that Revelation exhorts and enables is in the divine Spirit of prophetic witness against all forms of idolatrous worship in favor of a true worship of the Lord God and the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lamb, for an eternal and heavenly life. The audience may begin this worship in the Eucharistic supper into which Revelation leads them by inviting them to respond to the promise of Jesus, "Yes, I am coming soon," with "Amen! Come Lord Jesus!" They thereby welcome the Lord Jesus to the Eucharistic supper that anticipates his final coming and the divine grace, the gift of eternal life, of the Lord Jesus that is intended to be the destiny of all.

Terre Haute, IN (Sports Network) - Indiana State named former NFL wide receiver Troy Walters as the team's new offensive coordinator Wednesday.
Walters will also be quarterbacks and wide receivers coach.
"After talking with (head coach) Trent (Miles), I became very excited about the direction he has the Sycamore football program going in," Walters said. "I am very excited about the opportunity to come here. Coaching football has been a goal of mine and working with this program is a great start to this phase of my career."
Walters, who does not have any previous coaching experience, was picked in the fifth round of the 2000 NFL draft by Minnesota. Over seven NFL seasons with Minnesota, Indianapolis, Arizona and Detroit, Walters accumulated 102 catches for 1,135 yards and nine touchdowns.
Walters went to the NFL after a standout career at Stanford, during which he had 244 career catches for 3,986 yards and 26 TDs and won the Biletnikoff Award as a senior as the nation's top receiver.

Gorgeous Junghans BracketClockMahogany Case -- Westminster Chime c. 1900 This is an $800+ clock with a LOW reserve. Quick 10-Day Auction / It will sell!
If you love this clock, please stay on top of the bidding. Close of bid: Sunday, March 27th at 7:30 PM PST . I am rarely this effusive about any clock, but this one is close to perfect, and has been a joy to own........... The truly fine bracket clock is a cornerstone in any serious collection, and they don't get much better than this superb quality piece by the legendary Erhard Junghans. One company - Four generations! In 1861 Erhard Junghans succeeded in his dream of founding his own manufacturing company in the Black Forest town of Schramberg. Unfortunately he died shortly thereafter, leaving the company to his sons, Arthur and Erhard Jr. Arthur, curious about the manufacturing revolution beginning in America, visited, then incorporated that spirit into the company. Soon, they were producing over 100 clocks per day! In fact, so innovative was Arthur that he is credited with patenting over 300 inventions! Eventually, the company diversified into watches, and by 1903 grew to become the worlds largest manufacturer, producing 3 million units annually! In 1920 Arthur's sons Erwin and Oscar assumed management and after WWII responsibility was passed to Erhard's great-grandson, Helmuth. This was a bad time for the German clockmaking industry as the mass-produced movements made in the US proved stiff competition. However, granddaddy Arthur's inquisitive field trip to America may have allowed Junghans to thrive as other foundered, for the factory had early-on adopted the efficient methodologies necessary to keeping the company healthy and competitive. Eventually Junghans merged with such legendary companies Lenzkirch, Thomas Haller and Gustave Becker. Though no longer a family-run concern, Junghans continues to produce innovative clocks and watches to this day! ........................... Antique clocks are a functional work of art and an appreciating investment! They have held their value more than any category of collectible. Small and easily fit into an already furnished household, they lend an air of history and elegance to a modern setting. This clock was purchased from the estate on an avid clock enthusiast in San Gabriel Valley, CA. It has been performing flawlessly ever since then -- and bringing much joy! Keeping excellent time and striking and chiming with precision - on those gorgeous Westminster chimes! It features a richly patinated, architectural style mahogany case with a massively constructed 3-train movement; featuring time / strike / chimes. Westminster is a 1/4-hour chime that gets progressively longer with each 15 minutes (4, 8, 12, and 16 notes at 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes, respectively), culminating in the full melody and an hour count at the top of each hour. The cabinet is mahogany veneer with solid mahogany trim. It has acquired a lovely patina; dark and medium tones; lustrous with a rich but subtle reddish cast. Classic, architectural style. Two full-relief (round and freestanding) Tuscan columns support a triangular roof, and flank an arch-top dial. Founded on a concave molded base, and resting on four rectangular mahogany feet. The rear door consists of a framed fretted brass sound panel, covered in green silk, to better hear those lovely chimes. Only a few minuscule (really small) dings and a bit of fine alligatoring to some areas of the lacquer.
Fantastic condition for age -- NO obvious cracks or dents or scratches.

Nike. 21. taken.
This is just a collection of my writings, mostly reblogged from my main.
She had a heart too easily broken,
As her blue eyes searched for soul;
She'd rather take the blade, then pick up a pen.
Fingers tangled in her hair,
The tears she loosed were met
With indifference.
She'd scream out,
"God, I'm not meant for this place, take me now".
She'd scream out,
"Lover if you could save me,
Maybe I could trust you then"
And they all just looked at her,
Into those deep blue eyes,
And they'd all just shake their heads,
Thinking of the mess.
"Lover if you don't trust me now,
How could you love me, then?"
Two steps back from the puddle,
she had made herself out to be,
Four more for the pain of being held so desperately.
Hand on a locked door,
And her spirit's bashing at the window.
She'd scream out,
"God, I'm not meant for this place, take me now."
She'd scream out,
"Lover if you could save me,
Maybe I could show you how."
I'll fuck you
until my name is imprinted on the roof of your mouth
your tongue can't help to say please
with my skin under your nails
you've tried so hard to not let go
but muscles have limits
my love does not.
My ears are screaming
And my
Eyes can't focus
But I still believe
You are the best thing to happen
To a sad lost soul like me
You are
The girl of my dreams
Even if I drown myself in whiskey
And self pity
Every day
Even if
I can't believe you'd even look this way
Somehow you manage to stand by me
And somehow
You've managed
To still love me
When I do nothing but ruin
Every good thing set
In front of
And insult every friend
You introduced to me
Drunk love at its finest
I hope you still love me at
My AA meetings
I can't
They're too far away.
I love you
But it runs in my veins
I'm sorry
But you can't help genetics baby
Drink as long as someone else pays
And the drinks keep appearing
Though I don't remember ordering them
I'll drink
The bill runs dry
Or you leave.
I love you
And I want to be better than the future that
Was laid out before me
But self fulfilling prophecies
Are intimidating
And I hope that I can resist
The failure within me.
don't you hear me
I've said your name a thousand times before
not one time sounded like the last
while I tried to find the character
that fit
what frequency
do you tune into
what sounds make your skin
crawl, your ears bleed
I'm not sure if I'm music
or cacophony
I'm dropping glasses
like it's the bass of
your heart beating
maybe the shards in your skin
will remind you to listen
because I've been saying
the same things over
are my effects not good enough?
are you affected or inflicted
if I chew on metal
until my voice
is a messy fountain
the things I've been trying to tell
what frequency
do you tune into
what sounds make your skin
crawl, your ears bleed
I'm not sure if I'm music
or cacophony.
she belongs next to me;
I can't stand things out of place.
it's an itch I can't scratch,
it's a hole I can't fill,
it's a kiss I can't have.
believe me,
I'm stretching,
I cannot reach.

Hollande: 'normal' president vs. 'responsible' president
FRENCH PAPERS, Weds. 14/11/12: French papers pick apart President François Hollande's first press conference since he came to power six months ago. It was his chance to relaunch his struggling presidency and set the tone. Libération says he pulled it off. Meanwhile, Le Figaro on the right, and L'Humanité on the far-left, say they're disappointed by his performance.

BARCELONA, NY (WKBW) - 30-year-old Victor Arce Jr. is dead after a tragic drowning in Chautauqua County Wednesday.
Police say Arce was swimming with a group of friends near the break wall in Barcelona when he went underwater.
It took emergency crews about 20 minutes to find Arce.
He was taken to Westfield Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

David Legwand has found a place to call home. The Ottawa Senators have signed Legwand to a two-year $6 million deal. My question is what are the Senators thinking, and why David Legwand?
Earlier today I wrote that the Senators may have an eye on Vincent Lecavalier it seems like the addition of Legwand may put an end to that. With Jason Spezza exiting the Senators organization the 33-year-old Legwand looks to be his replacement. In 83 games with the Nashville Predators and Detroit Red Wings last season Legwand registered 14 goals and 37 assists (51 points).
I'm not sure what the Senators see in Legwand he doesn't have much NHL Playoff experience, and after last season no-show with the Red Wings where he only player an average of 13:59 minutes a game; there is no real proof he has what it take to take the Senators to the next level. Now, an odd idea could be a sign and trade. Could the Senators use David Legwand to land Lecavalier?
A Detroit native, Legwand played the first 15 seasons of his National Hockey League career with Nashville before a March 5 trade sent him to the Red Wings. In 977 career NHL games, he has scored 214 goals and added 363 assists for 577 points, while recording 505 penalty minutes. He has scored 13 goals and 28 points in 52 career playoff games. Senators.NHL.com
Time will tell if Legwand can fill the skate left by Spezza, but one thing is for sure he only has this year to do it. That's the beautiful part about two-year deals; team can get out from under them if they need two. If the trade deadline comes around and Legwand seems to be a bust look for him to be moved.

Win 7 Ultimate
Media Player Streaming Works Great...For Some Artists
Alright, so I hate being the new guy in a forum and throwing out a weird one, but I promise to reciprocate assistance.
I have a Win 7 desktop, fresh install of Ultimate. Homegroup works great locally and simulated locally (Himachi VPN). The problem I have is streaming through Media Player. I see the desktop from my other machines, but when I look at music, the only songs/albums/etc that show are artists who's names begin with A through J.
I have refreshed, rebooted, 're-shared' the libraries, reset my sharing settings, etc. Originally I actually only saw music with Artists A and B, and then a few of C showed up, and now all the way up to J. I don't know what made the others show up, but its been weeks so its not that its still indexing.
Locally, on the desktop, the whole library shows without any problem. On remote devices however (multiple) its just some artists regardless of my view. Searching within MP only yields results with the corresponding group of artists.
Any thoughts?

In which FALL activity are you most likely to participate?
The North Baltimore Village Council will be seeking bids for street and alley paving in the village for 2014. Estimates for the work are round $140,000, including an alternate section.
The plan includes grinding and removal of old pavement in some sections, with either a 2 inch or 3 inch overlay, depending on the location.
Plans call for work to be done in the above areas.
Council is also considering replacing some curbing in limited areas.
Additional paving will be completed on the north side of the tracks, as Helms and Son's, the sewer project contractor, begins to pave the trenches that were created for laying the new sanitary sewer mains and laterals. This work is not related to the street paving plan, as these cost are part of the SSP.
Also, the State of Ohio should be paving the SR 18 Business Route from Mitchell Road east to the 4 - way, then South Main to the Roundabout. No word on when this work will be undertaken.

More Cool WinningTuesday, August 23rd, 2011
Fujitsu 'Cool' Driver Cameron Waters took out Round 4 of the Australian Formula Ford Championship at Queensland Raceway last weekend, but he had to work hard for the overall round win held in mix conditions throughout. By winning, Waters made it consecutive round wins and now leads the championship chase by 53 points, with fellow 'Cool' Driver, Nick Foster sitting in second spot at the halfway mark of the championship.
It was Foster who claimed the pole spot in qualifying at QR, before going on to win the first of three races, with Waters lining up in fourth spot and Shae Davies in ninth. Waters recorded a third place finish in the opening encounter, with Davies passing three cars to come home in a solid sixth after 14 laps of racing.
The Sunday morning race was held in wet conditions and Davies stunned everybody when he led into the first turn, before slipping back through the field. Foster was out front but during a spirited dice with Waters he made an error and slipped off the circuit and into retirement, allowing 16-year-old Cam through for the race win. Davies wound up in sixth spot after a good dice with the mid-pack.
In the final, Waters again came home at the head of the field, while Davies was eliminated in an early race incident with Andre Borell, but it was Foster who claimed the hard-charger award with a stunning drive from the back of the field to claim second spot at the chequered flag.
With a day of testing with Fujitsu Racing GRM's V8 Supercar team up for grabs for the highest placed Fujitsu 'Cool' Driver, the second half of the Australian Formula Ford Championship looks set to be an enthralling affair.
The next round of the championship will be held as part of the Shannon's National Series and will take place during the weekend of September 9-11 at Sandown International Raceway.

Pakistan: Now or Never?
Perspectives on Pakistan
New report accuses Pakistan's ISI of backing Afghan insurgents
According to a new report published by the London School of Economics, Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency not only funds and trains Taliban fighters in Afghanistan but is officially represented on the movement's leadership council, giving it significant influence over operations.
The ISI has long been accused of backing the Taliban – an accusation Pakistan denies, saying this would make no sense when it is already fighting a bloody campaign against Islamist militants at home. But the report is worth reading for its wealth of detail on the perceptions held by Taliban commanders interviewed in the field. You can see the Reuters story on the report here and the full document (pdf) here.
The report, based on interviews with Taliban commanders, former senior Taliban ministers and Western and Afghan security officials, says research strongly suggested support for the Taliban was the "official policy" of the ISI. "Pakistan appears to be playing a double-game of astonishing magnitude," it says. Interviews with Taliban commanders "suggest that Pakistan continues to give extensive support to the insurgency in terms of funding, munitions and supplies."
"These accounts were corroborated by former Taliban ministers, a Western analyst and a senior U.N. official based in Kabul, who said the Taliban largely depend on funding from the ISI and groups in Gulf countries," the report, which was dismissed by Pakistani officials as spurious and unfounded, says.
Almost all of the Taliban commanders interviewed in the report believed the ISI was represented on the Quetta Shura, the Taliban's supreme leadership council which Washington says is based in Pakistan. "Interviews strongly suggest that the ISI has representatives on the (Quetta) Shura, either as participants or observers, and the agency is thus involved at the highest level of the movement."
"Pakistan's apparent involvement in a double-game of this scale could have major geopolitical implications and could even provoke US counter-measures. However, the powerful role of the ISI, and parts of the Pakistani military, suggests that progress against the Afghan insurgency, or towards political engagement, requires their support. The only sure way to secure such cooperation is to address the fundamental causes of Pakistan's insecurity, especially its latent and enduring conflict with India," it says.
As discussed many times on this blog, most recently here, Pakistan is unlikely to act decisively against the Afghan Taliban without reassurances of a scaling back of India's presence in Afghanistan. It may have some ability to convince Afghan Taliban leaders to join peace talks by leaning on those who are based in Pakistan, or whose families live there, as and when it judges the timing is right.
But this influence does not extend to full control over the Taliban – as the book by Abdul Salam Zaeef, the Taliban's last ambassador to Islamabad, testifies, there is little love lost between the movement and Pakistan. The report itself quoted a political analyst in Kandahar as saying that, 'The Taliban is obliged to accept Pakistan's demands – it needs their support, but is not their puppet."
I caught up with the report's author, Matt Waldman, in London, for a brief chat to find out what other views he had picked up from his interviews with Taliban commanders in the field.
He said some, but not all, the commanders he spoke to said the ISI support was given so as to undermine Indian influence in Afghanistan. But on the whole they appeared to be relatively unaware of the big geopolitical issues that are believed to drive Pakistan's alleged support for the Taliban. There had been no mention, for example, of some of the accusations that Pakistan levels against India, of using its presence in Afghanistan to fund separatists in the Pakistani province of Baluchistan, or of working through Afghan intelligence to support the Pakistani Taliban – allegations New Delhi denies.
Rather, the commanders were focused on driving out foreign forces from Afghanistan, restoring sharia law and obtaining justice and security. They did not talk about the Taliban regaining power, or about fighting for them to have the right to run particular ministries; nor indeed about the position they might seek for their leader Mullah Muhammad Omar. "They didn't talk about the Taliban regaining the reins of government," he said.
Nor was there any sign of al Qaeda being a significant influence. None expressed any affection for al Qaeda and some acknowledged its role in the Taliban's downfall in 2001. The United States said it decided to overthrow the Taliban in 2001 after their government had refused to hand over to Washington Osama bin Laden and other al Qaeda leaders blamed for the Sept. 11 attacks.
Waldman said those he spoke to wanted peace, but not at any cost. While he detected some reluctance to see an immediate withdrawal of all foreign forces — which could precipitate a civil war — the massive presence of troops was a major problem. Some analysts say any withdrawal of foreign troops could lead to renewed fighting between non-Pashtuns once grouped in the former Northern Alliance and the Pashtun-dominated Taliban. Waldman however said that, "I never found any sort of hostility towards other ethnic groups."
The commanders he spoke to wanted clean and honest government and the separation of men and women, including at work. They were happy to see girls' education, but only up to a certain age. They were also well aware of factors running in their favour, including the unpopularity of the government and divisions in the international community about the Afghan war. "Although they are tired and war-weary, they feel a level of confidence in the eventual outcome," he said.
He also noted that many of the factors driving the insurgency were domestic – including a sense that the government in Kabul was abusing its power through "predatory and exclusionary policies" and a perception of aggression by foreign forces against the people of Afghanistan. This suggested that taking the ISI out of the equation would not be enough to end the insurgency – although the report also said that any peace talks with the Afghan government would not succeed without ISI support. "If you took the ISI out, it might make it possible to end the insurgency. But it does not end the insurgency."
BE CAREFUL IN ENGAGING WITH THIS GUY mirzausman.
HE IS RECKLESSLY USING REUTERS AS A PLATFORM TO EXPRESS HIS VIEWS IRRESPECTIVE OF THE SCOPE OF THE BLOG i.e.,
"New report accuses Pakistan's ISI of backing Afghan insurgents".
HIS TACTICS are OBVIOUS—TO DISTRACT THE POSTERS INTO DEFENDING LIES ABOUT INDIA. SIMPLY IGNORE him AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE on India-related issues. One liners are enough. NO micro details are needed. Because there is no way you can deal with a propagandist. Only Reuter moderator can do that job.
much of the issue mentioned above by Mirza are either internal to India, non-existent at this point and paranoia of Pakistan(is)in other cases. ABOVE ALL THEY ARE NOT RELEVANT TO THE BLOG.
mirzausman needs SHRINK not discussion on this.
BTW, didn't an operation similar to blue star, happen in the Red mosque in Islamabad a couple of years ago, when the holy mosque was defiled by the Pak army? The last time I checked, the perpetrator of that operation was playing golf & giving lectures in london. How come no 'payback' there?
–posted by Mortal
@Not analogous. He lost his 'presidency', lost his popularity and lives in self-imposed exile. Req Mosque – not equivalent to the holiest temple in sikh religion. artillery army and tanks not equivalent to special forces. death toll not remotely close, no indiscriminate residential artillery , no state-sponsored pogrom of 5000+. sorry.
–Posted by Mirzausman
—Mortal: Look at Mirza's number crunching and relative "holiness" of the shrine. I am really laughing here. Well even by his own low standards, he should stop shedding tears over Babri Masjid which was not even functional at the time. This also means that 1971 genocide of Bengalis by Pakistan can be ignored since 3million bengalis is still less than the genocide of 6 millions Jews. That also means, Indians can ignore and shut their mouth on innocents killed in riots, including Mirza's favorite topic operation blue star and 1984 riots, since the # is no where near 3 million bengali killed by Pakistan.
@"Look at Mirza's number crunching and relative "holiness" of the shrine. I am really laughing here" Posted by RajeevK
We've seen it all Rajeev, the double-standards, hypocricy, nonsensical finger-pointing, bigotry & shedding of crocodile tears. Nothing new there!
One can't really do anything about a phsychopath inventing reasons to hate you!
Rajeev, Discussion forums are not changing rooms of ballroom dance clubs where the chukka that ingests the most $e_men gets the most accolades. So much for democratic principles of expression. You have reached the heights of cultism by your sorry attempt to suppress dissent. I am providing years of research (by someone else) and historical facts on this blog and you have the audacity to complain.
The relevancy of my previous post couldn't be simpler
A pattern of historic and contemporary Indian Hegemony = Destabilized South Asia including afghanistan
Sorry, this did not have the same level of relevancy as your stories about dance perouettes and triple-axle landings into other men's laps.
One of the reasons Myra stopped regulating is because she was accused by Indians of … you guessed it ISI connections. Now you want the respected journalist back to blacklist pakistanis commenting on pakistan-tagged posts? This is the web not indian 'administered' kashmir.
I also enjoyed the fact that immediately after your boycott, you address one of my many interesting posts.
Disappointing news for Indian fanboys:
India is nowhere in the picture (literally) in comparison to Pakistan in this photo contest (Postcards from Hell):
Check it out:
http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/20 10/06/21/postcards_from_hell?page=0,10
And this is what the description reads:
"Pakistan has more than once been described as the world's most dangerous country. Its wild northern reaches remain host to various branches of the Pakistani Taliban and likely to al Qaeda (Osama bin Laden is thought to be among them), while other militant groups make gains closer to urban areas. The bomb that went off here left six dead in Quetta, in the country's southwest. More than 3 million Pakistani civilians were displaced by "counterinsurgency" operations in 2009 — the largest single movement of people since the Rwandan genocide. Meanwhile, President Asif Ali Zardari's democratically elected government looks hapless — unable to gain any measure of civilian control over a nuclear-armed military obsessed with planning for a war with India, or an intelligence service that stands accused of abetting the Afghan Taliban."
PS: I'm surprised that they did not find any entry from India in all those 60 photos from 60 different countries.
"PS: I'm surprised that they did not find any entry from India in all those 60 photos from 60 different countries."
An afterthought,
May be photographers' visa was rejected by cunning Indian government and they were not resourceful enough to take the water-route in a dinghy and "shoot" the poor people indiscriminately.
1. @Now you want the respected journalist back to blacklist pakistanis commenting on pakistan-tagged posts? This is the web not indian 'administered' kashmir."
—-whining! This blog is Reuters not Reformistan nor is it POK. I know Myra;s blogs rules. You are doing what she asked not to do in the past. No using Reuters for personal agendas, which exactly u r doing.
2. If you cannot post the relevant stuff, keep your cherry picked and stolen research at your website. Needy will visit you.
3. @Indian Hegemony: Go google retired Pakistan Air Marshal Asghar Khan (in Dawn) who did not mince words and clearly stated that Pakistan attacked India in each time, including 1971.
4. @Discussion forums are not changing rooms of ballroom dance clubs where the chukka that ingests the most $e_men gets the most accolades."
—lol…you are such a punk. Listen, I don't take ur pakistani sisters to such places. Nor do I need to know your tastes. That you are gay is sufficient. Are u provoking me that I stick bamboo in ur a$$ and stick it till ur tonsils that you cannot turn to watch the action behind you? Drop this BS—u started u stop. What's the Afghan # u r serving now? 30million could mean your generations will have to do your job.
5. Did you watch India-Pakistan cricket match? Harbahjan Singh's six was so sweet. Ahem!
@I also enjoyed the fact that immediately after your boycott, you address one of my many interesting posts."
—that's right—-one of many. I cherry picked. lol…. how about commenting on substance rather than this celebration? ..lol

It's not how many separatist or insurgent movements a country has, but how effective they are that matters. The Naxalites may have a large presence in India, but nowhere were they ever administering districts like the Taliban were in Swat.
More importantly for the rest of us, Indian instability is contained inside India. Insurgents from India aren't killing Westerners and the citizens of neighbouring countries. This is not the case with Pakistan.
Failed states index. Pakistan = #10, India = #87

Without American/ Western dollars…pakistan would have beaten Somalia to dust and rushed way ahead of Somalia to be numero uno.
Mullahusman is indulging in coping strategies to avoid digesting this reality.
^ The issue at hand isn't how unstable Pakistan is. Nobody really cared about Somalia until its problems started impacting the rest of the world. ie Al-Shabaab.
If Pakistan wasn't supporting groups that were attempting to de-stabilize Afghanistan and/or India (via Kashmir in particular), nobody would really be bothered, even if they devolved into another Somalia.
Unfortunately, the more they fail, the more they try to drag their neighbours down with them while threatening global peace and security (for example through proliferation). And this is sadly, what makes them relevant.
Kieth, I am pretty sure I recall an ill-fated intervention in Somalia in the 90s before Al-shabab was on anyone's radar. The western rescue party in shining armor were rescued themselves by those ungrateful evil Pakistanisn.
I understand though. Anything older than last week is ancient history.
Well I do not agree with these things, not like that, ISI behind these things is that,, Pakistan's defense forces including army, air force and navy personal have been killed by martyred by the terrorists.Over 5000 of our security personal have been killed by terrorists.Important military installations including GHQ have been targeted. Compounds belonging to our intelligence agencies have been bombed in many major cites across the country. Let us not forget the FC and other law enforcement's agencies personal who laid down their lives in this fight.

Panicked tiny footprints, zigzag, sharp;
Each an arrow hungry for direction.
Across them, newer, the fully-fledged
Outlines of boots, strong, deep.
Ahead, the bootprints side by side,
Suddenly, decisively: imagine the arms.
Further on still, the arrows stagger,
Stop, and fading blood reds the way.
This is the tale the snow tells,
Along the ugly, thorn-jagged hedge.
Its record is brief, the warmer winds
Of oblivion will sweep in, soon, too soon.

The Sysadmin's Daily Grind: Mod_evasive
The Apache web server can fight back against DoS attacks. You just need a little help from Mod_evasive.
Every admin knows and hates Denial-of-Service attacks. No matter whether the perpetrator is plain stupid, malevolent, or sick, a massive barrage of incessant requests directed at the server causes the server to freeze and pushes the admin's adrenalin levels way up. Web servers are most commonly attacked. AEMM gives Apache a self-defense mechanism. The package name "Apache Evasive Maneuvers Module" is too long for many people's liking, and most admins simply refer to it as Mod_evasive [1] – although this is actually just the name of the AEMM Apache module. Under the hood, Mod_evasive uses a blacklist. The module checks incoming requests against the list to find out if multiple requests of the same type have been received from the same IP in the last few seconds. The threshold values are configurable. At the same time, Mod_evasive checks if the requester has called more than 50 objects in the last second.

Sandra Stevenson/The New York Times
Sandra Stevenson, a photo editor at the Times, took her family camping in Brooklyn recently. Here is her report.
With the end of summer fast approaching, I was trying to come up with an economical way to treat my son and nephew to the pleasures of New York City. I wasn't sure that I could top their summer in Wyoming with their grandparents, but I certainly was going to try.
After a little internet surfing and consulting with my "parent friends," I settled on urban camping in one of New York City's parks — Salt Marsh Nature Center at Marine Park in Brooklyn, offered as part of the parks department's family camping program. Read more…

» Special Adoption Alert: Urban chickens in Stockton seek new homes
Harvest Home needs chicken-adopters!
Harvest Home Sanctuary is currently working with the City of Stockton Police Department to re-home a large flock of urban chickens living in substandard conditions at a private residence in East Stockton. The Neighborhood Services Section of the police department does not have the resources to help these birds. Recently, the city requested the sanctuary's assistance in spearheading an effort to find adopters for these needy birds.
We are currently searching for loving homes for the birds. The majority of the beautifully feathered chickens are under the age of one. A photo gallery of the chickens can be viewed on Flickr.
If you are interested in opening your home to a chicken or group of chickens, email us for adoption information. We welcome donations to support our rescue work online at Support Harvest Home.
Help a chicken out!

Harvest Home Sanctuary's Toast to the Turkeys celebration! Buy your tickets RIGHT NOW! »
You know what's fucking ridiculous? The fact that it's almost 2012. It was JUST 1998, am I right?! How the hell are we almost living in the future!? I can't handle this passage of time bullshit. Like sand through the fucking hour glass, so our the days of fucking lives passing us the fuck by.
Since it's later in the year, that means time to talk turkey! More specifically, petting turkeys and feeding them cranberries (they love 'em!). Harvest Home Sanctuary (one of our favorites!) is having their second annual Toast to the Turkeys Celebration on Saturday, Nov. 12 in honor of their rescued turkeys. You'll get to poke around the sanctuary and hug everyone, have delicious vegan food and drink, and PARTY WITH THE TURKEYS. Ain't no party like a turkey party 'cause a turkey party has TURKEYS EATING CRANBERRIES.
Harvest Home Sanctuary is really wonderful, they provide excellent care to nearly 200 animals at their rescue and rehabilitation center in Stockton. If I were a rescued animal, I would totally want them to take care of me. It's the lap of luxury!
Since Vegansaurus is an official sponsor, we will also be there; you can meet us and steal locks of our hair. So fun! If you want to join us in sponsoring the event, email Christine for more details! To buy tickets, head here.
Also, this is really cool: Woop Studios (the Harry Potter series* graphic designers!) created a turkey print for Harvest Home in honor of the event. A portion of the print sales will benefit their work so if you want rad art and want to support an amazing sanctuary, you will buy
me yourself me AND yourself one today!
*HEARD OF THEM!? Well, maybe you haven't.
[The turkey in the photo from last year's celebration is named BURL: 1) Best name for a turkey ever; 2) How can people eat turkeys!? They're little dinosaurs! A dinosaur will fuck your shit up!]

Harvest Home Toast to the Turkeys Celebration is THIS SATURDAY! »
This Saturday, Nov. 13, Harvest Home Sanctuary (our favorite!) in Stockton is hosting its Toast to the Turkeys Celebration. You get to cuddle with farm animals, eat an amazing vegan feast, and tour a beautiful sanctuary for just 25 bucks. NOT BAD AT ALL. Get your tickets here!
If you can't make it, check out their sixth anniversary funding drive and PLEASE consider donating as they are the absolute best and doing so sosososo much for the animals. I honestly can't think of a better place to spend your money I MEAN OUR MONEY.
From the site (DONATE!):
In 2004, we opened our barn doors to the first animals rescued by our sanctuary on Thanksgiving Day. Since our creation, Harvest Home Animal Sanctuary has established itself as a force for saving unwanted animals in California. Our organization has rescued hundreds of animals from shelters, hoarders, breeders, butchers and beyond. Currently, we are proud to care for nearly 200 animals at our rescue and rehabilitation center in Stockton.
For our sixth anniversary this Thanksgiving, a team of volunteers will participate in Stockton's Annual Run-Walk to raise funds for the sanctuary in union with our funding drive.
Celebrate our lifesaving work with a donation to our $6K anniversary campaign today. Our funding drive will run through the end of the year.

Magrunner: Dark Pulse Press Reviews
July 12, 2013
Welcome to the tenth edition of the Magrunner Development Diary. With more than 3 weeks since the Magrunner: Dark Pulse PC release, we are happy to share the main impressions of the game, left by an honorable gaming press and talented journalists. And I am thrilled and amazed by the review requests we have had and are still having with Magrunner. It is probably our first game that has been discussed that much by the press. A project that started almost 3 years ago as a small indie game has evolved into a huge success as related by Thomas Brammertz, contributor for Gamers.de.
The Metacritic page is currently featuring a 70 score that is based on the mixed and average reviews coming from 18 critics; while there are many more reviews that have come to our attention. Of course, we read and watch each and every review very attentively. Thus I would like to use this 10th update of the DevBlog to share what the press is saying about the game.
Magrunner exceeded the expectations of an Examiner.com reviewer as he gave it 10 out of 10!
The game surprised Tony "ChaingunPope" Wilson from FrontTowardsGamer, as he mentions it among the best PC titles he's recently played: 'Developer Frogwares struck gold here. Even though I felt like I had to blunder my way through a few puzzles, Magrunner: Dark Pulse hit all the right notes. Too bad those notes summoned the squid-faced god of the apocalypse.'
'Magrunner: Dark Pulse is a fantastic puzzle game and a unique experience for any not familiar with Lovecraftian horror' says www.spiderduck.net with a 9 out of 10 rating for the game. 'This is a must play for fans of puzzle games and it would be enjoyable to all but those who loathe the genre.'
Game difficulty that ramps up very quickly prevented Marcus Jones from selectbutton.com to rate Magrunner 9 out of 10, so its 8.5!
Its 8 out of 10 by OnPause.org saying that Magrunner is a solid game that will be enjoyed by puzzle game enthusiasts. CramGaming and Cheatmasters also rate Magrunner 8 out of 10 because it plays really great.
Magrunner is also rated 4 out of 5 by gizorama.com, irbgamer.com, gamezebo.com and many others!
It is natural that there are some common lines for all the reviews. And here is my favorite collective comment that says 'Magrunner: Dark Pulse is highly recommended' by twinfinite.com, spiderduck.com, pcgmedia.com, selectbutton.com, culturemass.com and many other gaming portals and websites!
