YanSab's Third Quarter Net Profit Below Estimates
October 14, 2010 | Natasha Alperowicz
Yanbu National Petrochemical Co. (YanSab), a Sabic affiliate reported net income of SR356.2 million ($95 million) for the third quarter of this year compared with a net loss of SR7 million in the corresponding period of 2009 and 29% down on the second quarter's net profit of SR502. 4 million. Mutlaq Al-Morished, chairman of the board of YanSab and CFO of Sabic cites increase in production costs as a result of a temporary cracker shutdown in September as the main reason for the drop in profitability. YanSab's net result was lower than SICO's (Manama) expectation...

Mount Gannett, AK Globemaster Crashes, Nov 1952
- Alaska |
- Air Disasters |
- 1952
Anchorage, Alaska (AP) -- A faint radio signal was the only tenuous clue Monday to the fate of 52 men aboard a giant C-124 Globemaster which vanished Saturday night over the Gulf of Alaska.
Twenty-four search planes were poised here ready to fan out when weather permits over the 150 miles to tiny Middleton Island, the four-engined transport's last check-point. The weather outlook was poor.
The 41 Army and Air Force passengers and 11 crewmen were listed officially Sunday as missing in the continuing plague of U. S. military air disasters throughout the world.
Third Disaster.
It was the third U. S. military air disaster in Alaska in 15 days, involving 91 men, and the sixth throughout the world during that period. The six planes carried a total of 162 passengers and crew -- eight survived and the others are missing.
A limited search Sunday, hampered by fog, light rain and low ceiling, turned up no trace of the Globemaster, which vanished on a 1,400-mile flight from McChord Air Force Base, its home field near, Tacoma, Wash., to Elmendorf Base at Anchorage.
Largest Transport.
The huge, four-engine transport, largest in military use, last reported by radio at 9:47 p.m. PST last night, over Middleton Island, about 150 miles southeast of here in the Gulf of Alaska.
The Globemaster, operated by the Military Air Transport Service (MATS),
was flying at 9,000 feet altitude on schedule 6 hours and 17 minutes out of McChord and only 46 minutes from Anchorage.
Then there was silence.
From tiny Middleton Island, the big plane's course took it over about 50 miles of water and 100 miles of land described by veteran fliers as among "the most rugged in the world."
To the right of its route is a mountain range studded with towering, glacier-covered peaks of 10,000 feet or more. On course are smaller mountains in an almost impenetrable wilderness.
Walla Walla Union-Bulletin Washington 1952-11-24
TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: The wreckage was found several days later on the South side of Mount Gannett. There were no survivors.
Additional Information On Crew Members:
CAPT. KENNETH J. DUVALL, 37, the aircraft commander, of Vallejo, Cal. His wife is living at Tacoma.
CAPT. ALGER M. CHENEY, 32, first pilot, of Lubec, Me., wife lives at Tacoma.
Airman 2/c CONRAD N. SPRAGUE of Sequim, Wash. His wife and son, DENNIS, 4, live at Tacoma.
C-124 Family Member too
Jon J. Thank you so much for the comment.I will continue my journey and help all the families who has reached out to me that has loss a family member not on our plane.
Perry's boy here. Very nice ceremony and am proud to have been part of it. Many accolades go to Tonja Anderson Dell, she has done more than most to prompt the Air Force to start searching that glacier and crash site again. She has a very nice website findingthosewelost with many more photos and clippings.
Hello my Uncle James H Ray was just laid to rest yesterday. Thank you for the attempts all those years ago. His daughter finally got the closure she needed along with his siblings. If you still have pictures from the first search please email them to me. Thank you.

C-124 Crash ( has been found)
KNIK GLACIER, Alaska (June XX, 2012) -
Aircraft wreckage is scattered across the Knik Glacier on the northern end of the Chugach Mountains. A specialized eight-person recovery team, with team members from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command and Northern Warefare Training Center, searches for aircraft wreckage, remains, or other personal affects while conducting recovery operations at an aircraft crash site near Anchorage, Alaska. The C-124 Globemaster went missing in November 1952 while conducting an operational mission from McChord Air Force Base, Washington. All evidence discovered at the site will be transferred to JPAC's Central Identification Laboratory for further analysis. (DoD photo by Cpt. Jamie D. Dobson, U.S. Army)

Nice hotel, staff is professional and friendly. The breakfast is excellent, don't forget trying the 'Jus de pommes' homemade apple juice. The room is big and clean! Close enough to Luxembourg City and the nice countryside.
Nice hotel, staff is professional and friendly. The breakfast is excellent, don't forget trying the 'Jus de pommes' homemade apple juice. The room is big and clean! Close enough to Luxembourg City and the nice countryside.
nice hotel, staff is professional and speaks many languages. they didn't smile much though. bathroom and room was big and clean! has good parking, also for motorcycles. location is great for motorcycle rides, close enough to luxembourg city to visit in one day.
We stayed at this hotel because some of our family planned to go on a guided tour for Battle of the Bulge sites, and others wanted to go straight into Luxembourg City. It was a convenient location for both activites, in a quiet picturesque town for a very reasonable price. The views from the upper floors of the hotel were... More
Yes, I agree with another reviewer that this family-owned hotel looks a little dated. But at the same time I found it interesting to stay in this 70s style hotel - bringing back memories :-). For me it doesn't all have to be modern and new, as long as the rooms are clean and the beds are decent it should... More
This family run hotel is located in a small village south of the road from Ettelbruch, Luxembourg to Bastogne, Belgium and is easy to find. As the owner told us, there was heavy fighting around here during the Battle of the Bulge. This was a delightful place to stay - country atmosphere and the views of the surrounding countryside were... More
the hotel interior is dated, but kept in good condition. the service is good, our room was spacious and clean, breakfast is rich, the place is quiet and the owners very gentle. For this price it has been a very good solution on our way to Italy.
We stayed at this hotel on our way to France - the owner was very obliging - the hotel was clean and comfortable but very dated. The food in the restaurant was quite expensive for what it was - but reasonable quality. We paid an extra 40 euro for half board for two but there was no choice of food... More
The owner of this hotel is very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and breakfast was good. We felt right at home here! Before you eat at the hotel restaurant, check the prices because while the food WAS delicious, it was quite expensive. The hotel is very close to the border of Belgium so day trips to Bastogne are...

Milano Platform Bed Allie Light from San Francisco, CA on 05/06/2012 – Verified Buyer
Not a fantastic bargain by any means, I saw similar beds in SF stores for around the same price, but the bed is good looking and the inclusion of an extra set of legs to make the bed higher or lower was a nice surprise.

Looks great...assembly no problem! Judy from Austin, TX on 04/28/2015 – Verified Buyer
I have been enjoying my new bed! I added a plywood platform on the slats to be sure the mattress didn't sag through since I don't have a box spring. Pros: Great value..comes with 2 different leg lengths. Cons: Took a while to get here.

Royal PinRead MoreRoyal Pin?s four bowling centers boast a total of 270 gleaming lanes, but their widely varied facilities offer far more than games of tenpins. At all four locations, cosmic-bowling nights create a psychedelic atmosphere with fog, music, and black lights. The Woodland location, though, was voted Best Bowling in Indianapolis 2012 by CityVoter and ups the ante with flat screens above the lanes and cushy couches where players recline while waiting their turn to take a ride through the pinsetter. Its adjacent outdoor mini-golf course, Pirates? Cove, sends putters on a salty adventure with 18 Lilliputian fairways populated by streams, waterfalls, and a pirate ship. In addition, the location recently received a makeover, with a new midway, lounge, bar and restaurant. In that same center, there's also the two-story Pirate's Quest laser tag, which combines the excitement of laser tag and swashbuckling. At the Expo location, the theme relates to another exciting frontier: space. In Laser Storm tag, players battle for rights to moon territories. Besides their alleys, Royal Pin also manages the 5-acre Greatimes Family Fun Park, where kids zip around a go-cart track, bounce through a multilevel playland, or pilot bumper boats equipped with blaster squirt guns and highly sensitive grownup detectors.5261 Elmwood AveIndianapolis, IN US

Evelyn L. Schell
Evelyn L. Schell
Our loving Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother went to be with our Lord and Savior on Sept. 12, 2015.
Evelyn was born on Oct. 2, 1919, to David and Vinnie Evans in Independence, Louisiana, one of eight children to the Evans family (four boys and four girls). She was raised on a strawberry farm near Independence and, being a farm girl, had plenty to do with helping the family. Cooking soon became her specialty and for generations many enjoyed her perfections. Evelyn graduated from Independence High School in 1937.
Through a mutual friend, Evelyn was introduced to a young man from Washington state named Bert Schell. After a brief courtship they were married on Feb. 10, 1938, and immediately moved to Cashmere to become an apple grower's wife and homemaker.

Harlan Lee Shouse
Harlan Lee Shouse, 91, a longtime resident of Leavenworth, died Thursday, Sept. 17, 2015, at Amber Waves in Waterville.
He was born the sixth of seven children in Blackwell, Oklahoma to Thomas "Harv" and Flora (Manning) Shouse.
After receiving his early education, he went to work in the family painting business.
On Oct. 10, 1942, he married Sarah Lucille Jones in Ponca City, Oklahoma, where they made their home.
Harlan later worked dairy, mining and then joined his father-in-law farming. Harlan moved the family to Gardina, California, and went to work for Virco Manufacturing. After a few years of hard work, Virco promoted him and relocated the family to Conway, Arkansas. While in Conway, they bought a farm and raised Brangus Cattle.
In 1966, Harlan decided to go back to school and he and Lucille moved into a small camp trailer to Wheezer, Idaho, where he attended Heavy Equipment Training School. Later, in 1966, they continued west, settling in Leavenworth, where he started working for the U.S. Forest Service as a road grader operator, a job he truly loved.
Some years after Lucille's death in 1999, he married Joyce Sherwood in a May 2003 wedding.
Harlan and Lucille were very involved in the Appleland Promenaders square dance club, but Harlan's greatest loves were for fishing, hunting, camping and his job in the mountains grading roads.

Marilyn Ward
On the evening of Aug. 6, 2015, Marilyn Ward passed away at her home in Killeen, Texas. Marilyn was 66 years old, the second of four children born to Bill and Mary Jean.
Marilyn was raised in the San Francisco Bay area. She was passionate about her family and friends, cooking, enjoying good food, movies, and music. Marilyn had a great sense of humor and made friends easily, many live in California, Washington and Texas. All of whom were considered family. She was a dedicated mother who chose to live close to her daughter and grandsons to help provide her time and support. It was there that she found a workplace that she loved and developed an extensive network of new friends whom she considered family.
Marilyn is survived by her daughter Michelle, her grandsons Nathan, Garrett and Quinlan; and her two sisters Annie and Robin.
Marilyn's family would like to extend a special thank you to: The Killeen Fire and Police Departments for their selfless service and their desire to help those in need, in times of need; and to Heritage Funeral Home for their compassionate assistance during this difficult time. Condolences may be sent to Heritage Funeral Home, 425 E. Central Texas Expressway, Harker Heights, TX 76548. Marilyn's remains will be laid to rest at the West Greenwood Cemetery in Spokane, Washington.

Charles Robert (Bob) Varner
Charles Robert (Bob) Varner was born Feb. 17, 1923, to Donald and Hannah Murry in Vancouver, B.C. and passed away Aug. 31, 2015, at Mountain Meadows in Leavenworth, Washington.
When Bob was 6, his father died. His mother married Joe Varner and that was the name Bob used from then on. The Varners moved to Seattle where his father was a race horse trainer: Bob was put on his first horse at about the age of 10. After the 6th grade, his dad fell sick and Bob quit public school to support his family.
At 15, never being asked if he was of legal age to ride, 16, he became a jockey. He raced at Seattle's Longacres, in California at Santa Anita, Del Mar & Bay Meadows, Caliente Mexico and in Omaha, Nebraska. His favorite horse was Olimpo. He rode personally for Bing Crosby for a time. In 1939, at the age of 15, Bob rode against Seabiscuit in an exhibition race in California.

Ulf B. Simon-Weidner
I'm 41, was raised in Munich (Germany) and chose it as my home base. My dad was into engineering which influenced me in primary school to build radios and other electronic circuits, dug into digital electronics and microprocessors and got my first real computer in 1983. Later, besides school, I worked at a company where I was able to rationalize my job by creating customized hard- and software. At the company I was now able to go into digital circuits and programming. We did some great projects for TV-Shows and Marketing companies. After finishing school I went to the Munich University of applied sciences (eletrotechnical and information technology). During this time I took an opportunity to work and study (small business management) in the US for a year. In 1998 I got an offer of Europe's leading, indepentant IT-Services Provider and instantly went into Active Directory in NT5-preview (later renamed to Windows 2000). I made career from trainee to principal consultant and accepted a manager position for Microsoft Solutions-Strategy and Presales. Throughout the years I had a lot of interesting projects at major German and international Companies. I'm broadly sharing my knowledge as Author and Speaker at major, international conferences. Besides my community work I love spending my spare time with my family, enjoy ballroom dancing, BBQing, traveling and diving.

I Am Prone to Keloids. So Will Hpv Injections Cause Them to Grow?
I Am Prone to Keloids. So Will Hpv Injections Cause Them to Grow?
Doctor Answers 2
Keloids from Injections
Neither the HPV vaccination nor injections for HPV treatment should cause keloids. While I cannot say it's impossible to get keloid growth from needles (for example, look at at all the ear lobe keloids after piercings), most keloids come from surgeries or uncontrolled inflammation (like bad acne).
220 Front Street
NYC, New York 10038
Keloids from vaccinations
Not necessarily. Injections, however, can cause inflammation and localized production of excessive scar, such as a keloid in rare cases.

- Location: Buffalo Bill's Star Arena, Primm, Nevada, USA
- Referee: Russell Mora
Aired On: ESPN Friday Night Fights (Main Event)

02 Sep 2012 11:47 GMT | Europe, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Hungary
A huge crowd has welcomed home a convicted axe murderer to the Azeri capital of Baku.
Lieutenant Ramil Safarov, who returned to Baku on Friday, was jailed for life after hacking Armenian officer Gurgen Margarian to death in 2004 at a military academy in Budapest, where the servicemen were attending English-language courses organised by NATO.
Safarov claimed that Margarian had insulted Azerbaijan, which fought Armenia over the disputed region of Nagorny Karabakh in the 1990s.
Budapest agreed to extradite Safarov to Azerbaijan, but he was pardoned shortly after returning to his homeland.
Hungary, however, said that Azerbaijan had promised the soldier would serve out the remainder of his sentence after his return home and would not be freed.
Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev issued an order that killer Safarov "should be freed from the term of his punishment" just after he arrived on a plane from Budapest.
The decision prompted harsh criticism and diplomatic action from Armenia, a longtime enemy of its neighbour Azerbaijan.
President Serzh Sarkisian of Armenia said on Friday, "I cannot put up with this. The Republic of Armenia cannot put up with this."
The country also severed its diplomatic ties with Hungary on Friday but Azerbaijan defended its decision.
"Ramil Safarov was pardoned in accordance with the constitution and laws of Azerbaijan and the Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons," presidential administration official Fuad Alekserov said in a statement.
Army promotion
In another move that will infuriate Armenia, Azerbaijan also reinstated Safarov to the army and promoted him to the rank of major.
"Defence Minister Safar Abiyev received him, handed him his new rank and wished him success in his future military service," a defence ministry statement said.
Azerbaijan also hit back at US criticism, insisting that the pardon awarded to Safarov after he had served eight years of his sentence conformed with a European legal convention on extradition.
Tensions are strong between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh, a region of Azerbaijan that has been under the control of Armenian troops and ethnic Armenian forces since 1994.
A 1994 cease-fire ended the six-year war that killed 30,000 people and left about 1 million homeless.
About 150 demonstrators gathered in Yerevan on Saturday to set the Hungarian flag ablaze and demand an end to talks on resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh issue.

Tour de France: Geraint Thomas on Nibali, future hopes & Glasgow
The Tour de France is over and Italy's Vincenzo Nibali has joined the cycling greats by becoming the sixth man to win all three Grand Tours.
Four British riders started the race: defending champion Chris Froome and his Team Sky team-mate Geraint Thomas, Omega Pharma - Quick-Step sprinter Mark Cavendish, who has won 25 Tour stages, and 21-year-old debutant Simon Yates.
By the end of stage five, Froome and Cavendish had crashed out, while Yates, who rides for Orica GreenEdge, was withdrawn after stage 15. Thomas rode to the finish in Paris to complete his fifth Tour.
In his final Tour column for BBC Sport, Thomas talks about his worst day on the Tour and the challenge of going straight to the Commonwealth Games to represent Wales.
Firstly, chapeau to Vincenzo Nibali. He proved he was the strongest rider in the race and is a deserving winner.
To win one Grand Tour is a massive achievement in itself so to win all three and join an elite group of riders is incredible.
It helped that Chris Froome and Alberto Contador weren't there to challenge him all the way to the finish in Paris but part of the race is staying on your bike.
His Astana team deserve credit for the way they defended the yellow jersey since he took it on stage two. We know how hard it is to do that, so as a team you cannot fault them.
Feeling the pain in the Pyrenees
For me, it's been a long three weeks and it all caught up with me on the second day in the Pyrenees last Wednesday on stage 17. Since then I've been feeling it.
That was easily my worst day on the Tour. It was not a particularly long stage at 124.5km but it featured four big mountain climbs and a summit finish.
I felt really empty and pretty legless. It was always going to happen. When I look back at the race, every day I was doing something, whether that was racing for Chris Froome in the early stages, or then Richie Porte or Mikel Nieve.
And then once Chris had crashed and Richie dropped away it was hard to change mentality again and start chasing stage wins.
I was racing at the front of the peloton and going deep most stages and there are only a few riders, if anyone, who can do that. If you keep going deep for 21 days it is going to catch you out and I had my bad day on one of the toughest stages which didn't exactly help.
I had tried to get in the break a day earlier but I didn't quite manage it. I seemed to be in every move that didn't get away - whichever team is controlling the peloton that day will generally only let the break go when they are happy with the make up of the riders in it. But I felt OK on the final climb and finished in a group with Tejay van Garderen, who finished fifth.
I didn't do anything different that evening. I ate and had a massage, slept well but some days you wake up and you just don't quite have it.
There is not a lot you can do but just get through the race as best you can. I tried to go in the break again on the first climb but I didn't have the legs to stay up there so I had to ease back to the group and suffer in the peloton.
I had a similar feeling in Saturday's individual time trial. I knew when I was warming up on the rollers that I was going to struggle. My legs didn't feel great but I still went out there looking to go for the fastest time I could.
Just 5km into the 54km race I knew it wasn't going to happen, that I wouldn't be able to sustain the effort for an hour so I backed off a bit and just had to make sure I got to the finish.
Personal success - my best Tour finish
The whole mood of the team was different riding into Paris this year, as you'd expect given we had the race winner in our team last year but everyone has come to terms with the fact we've not got much out of the race results-wise.
That's sport. You can't guarantee results and that's what makes it so exciting and interesting. It definitely gives us the motivation to come back and try to win the title back next year.
Personally, it's been a successful race in the way I've stepped up on some of the hillier stages and been in the thick of the racing most of the time.
When you're on a mountain ascent, it's great for morale and confidence when you look around and realise there's only 15 guys left and you're one of them.
The stages in Yorkshire were brilliant and I got a massive buzz on those days while the cobbles on stage five were great. In hindsight I didn't have to sit up and wait for Richie but it was good to go back and help pace him through the trickier sections.
I have finished in 22nd place overall, which is the highest of my five Tours de France. I think a top 10 could be possible if I had a protected role but then a team like Sky don't go into a Grand Tour just to get in the top 10, they want to win the race.
I may get the chance to lead the team at either the Giro d'Italia or Vuelta a Espana in a few years but at the moment I am just thinking about the week-long stage races, like Paris-Nice, and trying to get a good result in some of those.
The team is in a similar mindset to me. That's exciting and with the added confidence I've taken from this year's Tour, I can look forward to next season.
And so to Glasgow - it's going to hurt
The next thing to focus on though is the Commonwealth Games. I'm flying over to Glasgow on Monday and it will be great to wear the Welsh jersey again - the last time was in Melbourne in 2006. I feel like I represent Wales wherever I race but to actually wear the jersey is that extra bit special.
Usually after a Grand Tour I'll have a couple of weeks off the bike, switch off mentally and start to recover physically. Obviously I can't do that this time.
Mentally I should be fine because it's a change of scenery and I'll be with the Welsh boys. Physically, it's going to be hard to recover for the 40km time trial on Thursday and the road race on Sunday.
It will be tough in the time trial because riders like Scotland's defending champion David Millar and England's Alex Dowsett have had time to prepare and make sure they are in good form. It remains to be seen if the miles I have in my legs will be a help or hindrance.
I know it's going to hurt, however I ride. I can ride fast and hurt or go slow and hurt.
Luke Rowe and I will be joint team leaders in the road race, particularly as we don't know how I'm going to be feeling. Luke has been going well and it would be great if we could be in a position to have a two-pronged attack at the finish.
Racing for your national team is different to professional racing. It's a bit like junior racing in that there's not as much control and it's all animated from the start. Anything can happen.

"G" showed his continuing improvement in Letour & has plenty of further potential. It was just great to the talk to G, Ritchie & Dave Brailsford & get their autographs on my Sky jersey, when they stopped on their lap of honour in Paris. Jens Voight stopped as well. Amazingly he had 17 starts in LeTour & was happy to sign my Sky jersey and insisted that someone took a photo of us on my Camera!
Comment number 64. Posted by Rgimeon 29 Jul 2014 15:38
Normally first week flat wide roads for safety and sprinters possible 8 sprint stages in tour. Kittell won bout all true sprints. This year hills at finish and cobbles that, pure lottery. Limit team tatics to take control. Previous Tours pre Prudhomme mountain stages 3 to 4 HC or 1 cat climbs with top finish. more days in mountains. Nibali streets ahead would have won this year regardless
Comment number 63. Posted by billy goat gruffon 29 Jul 2014 14:50
Kittel won 4 stages. There were 4 high mountain top finishes, which is fairly normal. Also a climber won the race. Not sure which race you were watching.
For me the route was great. Cobbles, the Vosges, the WW1 graves. The first three days were not too shabby either.
Comment number 62. Posted by Rgimeon 29 Jul 2014 13:59
60 Missed point.
Race has changed this year head to head irrelvant. Cav best Sprinter in world, but Current Tour not suit sprinters more Classic riders Boonan, Boon (Cobbles), Sagan, Gilbert. If previous tours Kittle would have won more. With weak mountain stages and valley finishes climbers at disadvantage as well.
Comment number 61. Posted by Le Petit Fusilon 29 Jul 2014 13:40
@60. Cav and Boonens head to head in the TdF tells a very different story. They could have taken both but Boonen decided to focus on the Vuelta and the Worlds. He seems disillusioned with the Tour.
Comment number 60. Posted by Rgimeon 29 Jul 2014 12:03
Great racing but terrible Tour route. Prudhomme needs to leave alone. Sprint stages limited and with climbs at end ensure teans cannot work. Mountain stages limited and light with many finishing in valley (non climbers get back on). As for putting a classic stage in a grand tour, lets just increase the lottery of event. I said before Omega better taking Boonan than Cav for stages
Comment number 59. Posted by brendoon 29 Jul 2014 11:19
well done Geraint. Thought you should of been allowed to go for it on the cobbles, but an excellent GC finish considering your support role! Hopefully you can get a team leader role in the next few years!
Comment number 58. Posted by Colskion 29 Jul 2014 09:44
It seems Sky's/Brailsford's method of detailed analysis and going by the numbers backfired.
Their strategies are usually too defensive and robotic.
Many of the other top teams (not all), are able to wing it or do things on impulse which often results in more top 3 stage finishes or even wins.
It's hypothetical now, but I think Nibali would have beaten Froome and all his team finished strongly.
Comment number 57. Posted by theprinceofleisureon 29 Jul 2014 08:56
Well done G! Great TdF & I think Nibali would've beaten Froome & Contador, but this prob could've been a classic had they not crashed & Quintana was there.
More Brits would've been nice but this year has almost been an anomaly - next year could include Froome, Cav, Thomas, Stannard, Cummings, Pennaugh, Dowsett, Yatesx2 Wiggins for OGE?!
Chapeau Grand Depart & Jens Voigt - I was lucky to be there
Comment number 56. Posted by Butcherradaron 29 Jul 2014 08:22
I see Boing Boing Baggy is chucking in his usual positivity. An exciting tour that had some thrills and spills and mainly proved bike handling and anticipation plays a vital part in overall tactics. It seems that not everything Mr Brailsford touches turns to gold but hey, he's done pretty well up to now. See you all next year...

WIN connects and strengthens civil society organizations that defend and support whistleblowers. The Network provides counsel, tools and expertise needed by those working in their countries to address corruption, waste, fraud, abuse, illegality and threats to the public interest.
The EU Trade Directive: Money talks — and buys silence
Martin Woods discusses the implications of silencing corporate whistleblowers when doing so has such wide-ranging negative public impact.
We live in a world where money has become the ultimate goal – where millions worship at the altar of the dollar. Far too often the value of money has taken primacy over the value of human life. In my own professional life, I've seen a banker's appetite for cash outweigh the casualties produced by money laundering. The drive for profit can even outrank the importance of food safety, and the need to increase market share and revenue leads to compromised research, as some drug companies trade health for wealth. The obsession with balancing the books sees standards drop in care homes and hospitals, where all too often the welfare of the elderly and vulnerable is placed in the hands of low cost, untrained, people. The examples worldwide are too numerous to relate and too depressing in their similarity.
The proposed EU Trade Directive[1] appears to codify this creed. It has been proposed by the EU Commission[2] and is supported by Member States. Of course support also comes from the new cult leaders — the executives of big business who have a lot to gain and a lot to lose. The same executives who worship the underlying assumption that greed is a legitimate value and that whistleblowing must be punished, have lobbied for such laws that protect their creed. Aided by their lawyers – who long ago sold their souls – these money mad, power men have sought to silence those who speak out against them. Through the Trade Directive[3], the executives appear to have persuaded European politicians that employees who externally report corporate "information" – some of which could easily point to criminality – should themselves be guilty of a crime. Just when the public needs more information than ever, to hold to account those responsible for corporate conduct in multinationals and banks, or for the activities of governments cooperating across borders, the EU Trade Directive appears to deliver the exact opposite.

Statement on 16th International Anti-Corruption Conference in Malaysia
Certain WIN affiliates and partners will be participating in next week's International Anti-Corruption Conference in Malaysia. We do so to highlight the need for serious anti-corruption efforts globally, and to support our partners in Malaysia who are working under difficult circumstances to fight corruption in their country. We also support our partners' decisions not to participate in the conference if they determine that is the best course of action for them. We endorse statements made by TI Malaysia in the run-up to the conference about the ongoing corruption scandal involving Malaysia's Prime Minister Rajib Razak. These statements call for independent and credible investigations into the allegations, guarantees of and respect for press freedom, and robust action against cross-border corruption. WIN was founded to address the need for cross-border cooperation to protect whistleblowers precisely because we recognized the transnational nature of the corruption they expose.
We look forward to sharing our ideas and hearing those of others on whistleblower protection and the role of investigative journalism in fighting fraud and abuse.
If you see something, say something – unless we don't want you to
by Alison Glick
It shouldn't be a crime to report a crime, but increasingly it is.
From the land Down Under to the U.S. hinterland, whistleblowers are being threatened with prosecution for exposing abuses in both the public and private sectors – a phenomenon that bodes ill for holding authorities accountable and for protecting basic rights to free speech and information.
The push to criminalize employees and interested citizens documenting and reporting abuses, illegality, and threats to public safety continues to gain momentum, as do efforts to resist the crackdown. It seems that the mantra "If you see something, say something" applies only in certain situations, and most assuredly not in ones that embarrass governments or narrow their corporate benefactors' profit margins.

Whistleblowing Protection in the Netherlands: Latest Developments
Rik van Steenbergen is Policy Advisor Labour Quality/Employment Law with the Dutch Federation of Trade Unions (FNV) which has actively supported public interest whistleblowing in the Netherlands for many years.
The Dutch approach to regulation in practically all spheres of social life is a very pragmatic one: an issue is raised and debated, a consensus is sought, a policy is set out on a limited scale, and after evaluation it gets implemented more broadly. Then it is evaluated and amended again.
Whistleblowing is an issue that has been taken very seriously in the Netherlands and much debated over the last 15 years. The Dutch term for whistleblower, introduced by professor Mark Bovens in 1987, is 'klokkenluider', meaning bell-ringer. Continue reading
Developments in Swiss Whistleblowing Law Demonstrate Impact of Civil Society

International Whistleblowing Week Starts Today
The article below has been reproduced with permission from RootsAction.org. Please see European events at the end of the Article.
Our Chance to Aid and Encourage Whistleblowers
We would know much less about what our governments do were it not for those who are part of our governments – until something becomes too horrible for their moral threshold – who see a means available to inform the public. What this fact says about the proportion of governmental activity that is shameful is worth considering.
Whistleblowers in general have the broad support of the public. Even their biggest enemies got into office by falsely promising to defend and honor them. But individual whistleblowers are often effectively demonized by the corporate media while being persecuted and prosecuted by the government they have assisted.
What next for UK whistleblowers?
With the first all-Conservative cabinet since the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA) was enacted, Public Concern at Work – the UK's Whistleblowing Charity – asks what the future holds for whistleblower protection in the UK.
Cathy James, Chief Executive (London). Here at Public Concern at Work we are geared up to continue our campaign to reform the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 (PIDA) as well as seeking much needed clarity in other areas that impact on workplace freedom of speech.
While PIDA is a rare example (globally) of a whistleblower protection law that is broad in scope, it is in need of reform. This is why we set up an independent commission in February 2013, to oversee a public consultation and gather evidence to examine the state of whistleblowing in the UK, including the effectiveness of PIDA.
Hopes are High for New Serbian Whistleblower Law
We are pleased to present an analysis of this important new law by one of WIN's founding members. Bea Edwards is the International Program and Executive Director of the Government Accountability Project.
As noted in the October post by Serbian journalist Vladimir Radomirović, WIN played an important role in helping to strengthen the Serbian whistleblowing law that will take effect 5 June 2015. WIN Director Anna Myers was involved in early discussions organized by the Serbian Information Commissioner as the formal task of drafting the law began but most importantly, legal and practice knowledge was shared by experts inside and outside of the country via the WIN network throughout the process. In 2014, Ms. Myers coordinated a letter from WIN's founding members to Serbian parliamentarians recommending some additional changes to strengthen the law. One of the suggestions – allowing the Anti-Corruption Agency to continue playing an early role in protecting whistleblowers – was heeded.

UN Whistleblowers Call for Urgent Review of UN Whistleblower Protections in Open Letter to Ban Ki-moon
Yesterday, nine whistleblowers from the United Nations Secretariat, Peacekeeping Operations, Funds, Programs and Specialized Agencies, together with the Government Accountability Project, sent an open letter to the Secretary General, setting out the facts about retaliation against whistleblowers throughout the UN system. In the letter, the signatories describe the pattern of reprisal they experienced after reporting wrongdoing. Although they recognize the Secretary General's rhetorical commitment to anti-retaliation policies at the UN, they assert that, in practice, whistleblowers suffer ruinous retaliation, and existing policies fail to protect them.
Ian Richards, President of the UN Coordinating Committee of International Staff Unions and Associations (CCISUA), endorsed the letter with a statement on behalf of his constituency.
Civil Society Facing Unprecedented Threat in Egypt
by Alison Glick
Attacks on NGOs, journalists and other civil society actors are at an all-time high in Egypt. A new report paints a bleak picture of their future.
The Egyptian government threatening civil society organizations (CSO) is nothing new. Practically since such organizations emerged in Egypt, the authorities have used a variety of intimidation tactics to curtail their work and effectiveness on issues ranging from economic justice to women's equality to human rights. Despite such efforts, civil society flourished in Egypt: Before the January 2011 revolt against the Mubarak regime, over 26,000 officially registered non-governmental organizations existed in Egypt, along with hundreds of others not registered with the government.
But since the July 2013 coup that brought Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to power, the situation for civil society in Egypt has deteriorated radically. Under Threat: Egypt's Systematic Campaign against NGOs, a new report by the Project on Middle East Democracy, details a sophisticated and methodical attack on non-governmental organizations by the Sisi government that, for the first time, seriously threatens their continued existence.

text: volunteers Community Organizing For Beginners By Geoffrey Riley & Emily Cureton • Sep 9, 2015 Listen Listening... / 17:04 David Walls describes the process of community organizing. We probably all have a rough idea of what a community organizer does. David Walls can smooth out that idea with stories of his own work.
