Volvo Ocean Race: The logistics of putting on a world boat race
While there's no doubt that the Volvo Ocean Race takes considerable effort to compete in and keep running smoothly, the hard work starts months before the first race itself. For starters, the event's massive consignment of accompanying equipment needs to be shifted around the world throughout, and that takes a lot of organisation and hard graft.
Craig Rodgers is the man tasked with making sure everything gets to the stopover ports on time, as Volvo Ocean Race Logistics Manager.
"The biggest challenge is to make the timeline," he says. "This time the stopovers are shorter and the boats quicker, so it's really tight. If we miss one ship and the vessel only sails once per week, then we don't have time to meet the next vessel and to build the race village."
Two identical sets of equipment are therefore taking two separate leap-frogging routes to reach each of the 10 ports on time.
There are 100 to 120 containers per route for the entire race, including 12 containers for the organisation.
"We have two identical kits for everything. So when you open container 1A, it's the mirror image of container 2A. It is arguably not the most cost effective way for doing things but there is no container ship in the world that can match the speed of a Volvo Open 70!"
Rodgers works closely with DHL, Official Logistics Partner for the Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12.
"DHL takes care of all race logistics – by air, land and sea. In most cases they try to use Maersk, the world's biggest shipping line. But in some cases, even Maersk doesn't have ships to service our ports. For example, the port of Sanya isn't a main container port so we have to charter a ship from Sanya [on Hainan island, China] to Itajaí in Brazil.
"We also have to take bio-security into consideration. When going to New Zealand, all textiles and wood have to be treated. We also have to consider fumigation in New Zealand and also from China to Brazil. Custom clearances are always tricky, especially with freeze-dried food and hazardous materials. Again, DHL's expertise in that domain makes our lives much easier.
"Volvo Emballage provide all our pallets, boxes and packaging in order to test their products in a corrosive environment."
In addition to the hundreds of containers travelling with the race, another 20-25 tonnes of material will travel by plane.
"Anything ultra expensive such as TV broadcast and editing kit, as well as the real one off pieces of IT infrastructure, goes by air freight to every port. If it's cheaper and an option to buy two of anything, then it goes by sea. If it costs less to buy one and send it by air or if there is no option to buy a duplicate, it's goes in the plane."
Looking ahead to future logistic challenges, Rodgers believes the likely performance ramp-up of the boats in further editions of the race may require more kit to travel by air.
This includes the huge video screens and communications kit provided by Ericsson.
"We are working with Ericsson to make sure the network in village is fast and efficient so we can spread information from race to shore, to big screens, to mobile handsets, and to online for those who are not in the race village," says Knut Frostad, CEO of the Volvo Ocean Race. During our first three stopovers fans have told us how much they love the video on the screens."
Ericsson is providing the MINI-LINK PT microwave solution and service for the nine-month duration of the race. MINI-LINK PT is a compact, high-capacity microwave solution with zero footprint and easy installation. It is highly flexible and can be used across water for boat-to-shore connectivity. It puts high-definition connectivity where it needs it to be, quickly and flexibly and means the teams can stay in touch with each other when needed.
While Ericsson is providing the equipment and service, the race IT supplier Volvo IT is performing the installations at the 10 stopover cities.
"Using air freight only for the entire race is definitely do-able, but the volumes we currently ship are an issue. Yet, I think it's something we would need to look at in the future as the boats will only go faster and it is something done well by F1 and Moto GP."

What Americans Care About
Walter Brasch: The one issue the Senate had success with was to block President Obama's immigration plans by not allowing a hearing or a vote for the ninth Supreme Court justice.
President Obama: Stop Dehumanizing Immigrant Communities
Cinthia Flores: Our message was clear: we oppose the due process violations committed against immigrant communities and denounce the use of deportations as a strategy to punish youth and families seeking protection.

Black Immigrants Get Real about Race and Racism in America
hile many domesticated people of color (African-Americans) in the United States have been reared in the blatant structural and systemic aspects of race and racism in America, others living in the African Diaspora may not understand such flagrant racist realities for various reasons.

Build a Bigger Wall at the Border?
Claude Fischer: Most critically for those concerned about the swelling population of undocumented residents in the U.S., the escalation of border enforcement reduced the flow of migrants already in the U.S. back to Mexico and then additionally reduced the numbers going back to the U.S. after that first return. Instead, the undocumented stayed on this side. Bigger Wall

Seeing Flight as a Non-Violent Option
Erica Chenoweth and Hakim Young: Resurgent populist and nationalist leaders routinely play to public anxieties about refugees as "lazy opportunists," "burdens," "criminals," or "terrorists" in response to today's refugee crisis.
Deportation Raids: Fallout for Democrats
Victoria Defrancesco Soto: Ringing in the new year with mass deportation raids – what the heck are some of the folks in the Obama administration thinking? That is the question Democrats must be pondering as we go into 2016.In this climate there is really no danger of a Latino Republican vote surge. At the most, some Latinos close to the issue of immigration will stay home.
U.S. Courts Maintain Undocumented Immigrants in the Shadows

Moved out of my house to storage with this team. On time, very hard working, efficient, competitively priced. When it came time to move from storage to the new house I chose this team again and was equally satisfied with the high quality of service. Very happy customer.
We used this team yesterday, we hired boxes instead of buying packing material. those boxes are great to use and it was free to hire. i strongly recommend this service.
Two of your removalists moved us to Shoalhaven Heads on 13th April, 2016. I can't remember their names but they came from Korea. they were both great & a credit to your company. they arrived at 7:50am (booked for 8:00am) & started loading straight away. They asked for a smoke brake about 9:30am & I was only too pleased to say yes. When they arrived at Shoalhaven Heads I asked them if they would like to have a lunch break & they informed me they already had lunch on the way. As I said previously these two fellows ARE a credit to your company. They were great workers, pleasant to talk to & took great care loading our furniture. If I was to move again I would love to have them move me.
Steve McMahon
Very good service. Fast, efficient and safe. Nothing broken all of my furniture arrived in good condition. This is the 2nd time I have used this company. Will be recommending you to family and friends
They provided a fantastic service at a great price, we've used them a couple of times – I'd definitely recommend them!
Unreal service. Had to do 2 full truck loads over 40km, didn't stop working hard and very careful. Great value and service

Even the pool at Baccarat Hotel New York is fabulous. Crystal sconces and mirrors line the walls. A luminous wall of glass allows light to cascade between the pool and fitness area. The daybeds are inspired by the cabanas of the Cote d'Azur. The frescoed Japanese paper-covered walls have been hand-painted in India ink to evoke the forested region where Baccarat crystal is made. Renowned French artist Franccois Houtin painted the entire space from memory, using a traditional calligrapher's brush to recreate the trees that are essential to the creation of Baccarat crystal in the company factory's wood-burning ovens.

Religious groups aiding Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan
Dita Alangkara, Associated Press
Religious organizations across the globe are sending aid to the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan ravaged the country last week.
Typhoon Haiyan caused significant damage in the Philippines, affecting more than 9.5 million people and leaving about 600,000 without shelter, according to NBC.
The Christian Post reported several U.S. Christian groups responded to the typhoon. The article said World Vision, an Evangelical Christian humanitarian aid and advocacy organization, is sending "food, hygiene kits, shelter and other relief supplies to 1.2 million people in the Eastern and Central Visayas region."
And Convoy of Hope, a relief organization based out of Springfield, Mo., "has sent four shipping containers to the Philippines and is preparing to send more," according to The Christian Post, which also said the first assessment team of the organization should arrive in the Philippines on Sunday.
The Convoy of Hope has set up its own relief page, complete with a video and photos from the Philippines. The organization said it has distributed more than 75,000 meals so far. "This initial relief distribution comes from about 600,000 meals that were on-hand in the Philippines prior to the storm," the organization said.
The Christian Post also lists Food for the Hungry, an international Christian relief organization based out of Phoenix, is also contributing to relief efforts.
"It is encouraging to see that despite their current situation, people can still laugh and smile and be thankful for all the help they receive. Most of them felt safe and secured in the evacuation center," the group reports, according to The Christian Post.
Catholic Relief Services is asking for donations towards the Philippines. The Catholic organization also offered different ways people can give to the relief effort in addition to monetary donations.
The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, a humanitarian assistance organization, is also aiding the relief efforts.
The "JDC has already begin providing the most critically needed aid through our partners on the ground, and our team of disaster relief experts are preparing to assess the most urgent and important needs," according to the JDC's donation page. The organization allows people to make donations for $18, $100, $180 and $500, as well as the option for a donator to name their own amount.
NBC offered a list of all major organizations "deploying urgent relief efforts on the islands."

Report: Some dietary supplements illegally labeled
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Dozens of weight loss and immune system supplements on the market are illegally labeled and lack the recommended type of scientific evidence to back up their purported health claims, government investigators warn in a new review of the $20 billion supplement industry.
The report, released Wednesday by the Department of Health and Human Services' inspector general, found that 20 percent of the 127 weight loss and immune-boosting supplements investigators purchased online and in retail stores across the country carried labels that made illegal claims to cure or treat disease.
In addition, many of those and other supplements lacked the scientific studies recommended to support their suggested uses.
Some products went so far as to state that the supplements could cure or prevent diabetes or cancer, or that they could help treat people with HIV or AIDS, which is strictly prohibited under federal law.
Consumers may not just be wasting their money on pills or tablets, but they could be endangering their health if they take a supplement in place of a drug thinking it will have the same effect, the report concluded.
"Consumers rely on a supplement's claims to determine whether the product will provide a desired effect, such as weight loss or immune support," the report said. "Supplements that make disease claims could mislead consumers into using them as replacements for prescription drugs or other treatments for medical conditions, with potentially dangerous results."
The market for dietary supplements — which can include anything from Vitamin C tablets to capsules of echinacea — is a huge one with hundreds of products. The inspector general's investigation focused on one segment that officials said is booming.
Federal law doesn't require supplements to go through rigorous testing to prove they are safe or even that they work. The Food and Drug Administration can act only after consumers get sick or a safety issue comes to light.
The Office of Inspector General found that in numerous cases, when companies did submit evidence to back up their health claims, it fell far short of government recommendations.
One company submitted a 30-year-old handwritten college term paper to substantiate its claim, while others included news releases, advertisements and links to Wikipedia or an online dictionary, according to the report.
Overall, the review raises questions about whether the system is allowing companies to mislead consumers, investigators said, and recommended that FDA ramp up its oversight. The report did not name individual brands or products, and also did not estimate the total number of dietary supplements on the market.
In response, the food safety agency said it would consider asking Congress for more oversight powers to review supplement companies' evidence proving their products' purported health benefits. FDA agreed that the agency should expand surveillance of the market to detect spurious claims that supplements can cure or treat specific diseases.
Investigators also found that 7 percent of the weight loss and immune support supplements they surveyed lacked the required disclaimer stating that FDA had not reviewed whether the statement on the label was truthful.

Relax and unwind at our beachfront haven with glorious views across to the Isle of Wight. Just under an hour and a half drive from Central London our boutique beach house is situated in the UK's wind surfing capital. A luxury 3 bedroom house (sleeps up to 6) that offers easy living in the gated private Marineside Estate is available for holidays all year round. You'll find this undiscovered gem of a property in Bracklesham Bay, 7 miles south of Chichester and within easy reach of the wonderful South Downs and historic Goodwood.
The light and spacious accommodation comes with all mod cons and is arranged over four floors with a top floor family bathroom and ground floor shower room. The airy lounge with views to the sea opens out onto a large front balcony – just right for sunbathing or watching the sun setting over the Isle of Wight. The dining room also boasts a large back balcony overlooking the courtyard garden, well placed for catching the early morning sun and eating al fresco.
The entire Marineside development is extremely child friendly and there is a large grass area to the front of the property perfect for the kids and in full view of the front balcony for sunbathing parents. We have worked hard to bring this property to the local holiday letting's market and will continue to strive to ensure that your stay is a very pleasant one.
A much loved seaside home we make every effort to provide a stress free, clean and stylish environment so that you can immediately relax into your holiday and forget the pressures of every day life – we are proud to welcome back guests year after year.
This beach house was a great place to stay for us, our son, and our granddaughter - we immediately booked again for next year! James was very helpful in the booking process and gave plenty of information about the accommodation and resort. The floorplan provided in addition to the photos was helpful in deciding who would sleep where in advance! The house was clean and well maintained, very spacious, and perfectly situated right on the beach. We are all looking forward to our stay next year.
Our three generation family had a good time at the beach house and in West Sussex despite the mixed weather and there was plenty of room for all of us. It was, as expected, clean and well maintained and the kitchen very well equipped. James the owner popped over to say hello one day and was very helpful throughout. We all enjoyed the beach especially a low tide jog along the sand. Boys of 7 and 9 had a great time at the living history day at Arundel Castle and when warmer played safely on the grass with other children. We had a good meal at the Pond Barn with really friendly helpful staff. I would recommend the house at any time of year and may well be back.
Older style property nicely refurbished - cosy and warm on this winter weekend. House was very clean, nicely furnished, and the friendly owner provided lots of helpful information. Would recommend this property. We also loved Billy's on the Beach - great cafe just down the beach!
We loved everything about it. The house had everything we needed and was light and airy with plenty of space. It had a lovely casual seaside feel to it and with freezing weather outside we were warm and cosy inside. My husband and I were joined by my son and daughter in law during our stay and they were able to have their own privacy on the ground floor with bedroom and shower to themselves . This worked perfectly.
It was so good to have the sea view we weren't too interested in the balcony this time ! but in the warmer weather you could have the added bonus of hearing the waves rolling in x
The location was perfect with an excellent eatery five minutes walk away Billy's on the Beach which we highly recommend. East Whittering has everything you need within walking distance of the house, (try the food in the Drift Inn cafe everything is so tempting) and West Whittering with its beautiful sandy beach is a short car drive. Plenty of action going on there but we stuck to walking, kite surfing, maybe not !
We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend a stay here. James was always helpful and had everything organised for us and picking up the key from a neighbour was not a problem.
Great location, perfect family bolt-hole. Lovely beach walk to East Wittering and beachside cafe.
House is set over four floors, great for families, sea views from the front and back. Very clean and tidy, all mod cons.
Throughly recommended!
We stayed at the beach house during a 'slightly' uncharacteristic week of monsoon-style weather, but we still had a lovely time. The owner, James, was friendly and helpful, and the house itself is very well-equipped and nicely laid out. It's located in a small, gated community of similar houses with a small green to play on. Being so close to the sea, despite the weather, was fantastic. We really appreciated the cosiness of the house, and the facilities available, during the rainy days, and when the sun did come out it was lovely. It is also located about 5 minutes walk from Billy's on the Beach - a great place for some nosh by the sea. It's also not too far from some 'indoor pursuits' if you need them - Chichester cathedral, The Novium museum, the planetarium and Fishbourne Roman Palace, all worth visiting. Thanks again James for the warm welcome!
The manhood peninsula is a mecca for water based activities including windsurfing and diving. The water is safe and clean. The shoreline stretches to the award winning blue flag beach at West Wittering.
The Bracklesham area is well known for fossil hunting and bird watching.
The beach house makes an ideal base to explore the local attractions of West Sussex including:
West Wittering beach,
Chichester Harbour,
Chichester Cathedral,
Chichester Fesitval Theatre,
Arudel Castle and
The South Downs

The movie features, in my opinion, outstanding interpretations of Holmes and Watson. Christopher Plummer gives Holmes not only brilliance but also humanity. He responds deeply to the terrible injustice he finds behind the Ripper killings. Mason plays Watson as an equal partner, with humor, wisdom and courage, and with none of the blundering and bluster that Nigel Bruce imprinted on the character. The cast features Genevieve Bujold as Annie Crook and Susan Clark (great in Night Moves) as Mary Kelly. David Hemmings, Anthony Quayle, John Gielgud, Frank Finlay and Donald Sutherland give a lot of depth to the movie.
As by way of a modest spoiler, the people who made From Hell by rights should have given a modest credit line to director Clark and writer John Hopkins. One other fascinating point concerns Clark. For some reason, this appears to be by far the best movie he ever made. Clark, shortly after Murder by Decree, gave us one of the broadest and corniest movies around, Porky's, and seems to have stayed more or less at the Porky's level ever since.
If you enjoy Sherlock Holmes along with first-rate acting, I think you'll like this film. The DVD transfer is very good.
I grew up watching the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes movies on quiet Saturday mornings on BBC2 in my native Scotland, so I am probably always going to enjoy sitting down to a couple of hours with my longtime detective friend and his faithful sidekick Dr. Watson. Although for me Rathbone will always be the definitive Sherlock Holmes (never really cared for Jeremy Brett)I have to admit to finding Christopher Plummer as an entertaining, if somewhat unusual, Holmes in this late 1970s movie.
Based not on one of the Conan Doyle books but on a notion that the Baker Street detective investigated the Jack the Ripper murders (much like in the lesser production "Study in Terror" a decade earlier) this sceenplay moves along at a fair speed and examines the actual evidence collected at the time to weave together a theory not unlike that of the more recent Johnny Depp movie "From Hell."
What really makes this movie stand out is the quite incredible cast that Clark (yes, incredibly the same guy behind "Porky's") put together in this Canadian production. Alongside Plummer is none other than James Mason as Watson. We also have Anthony Quayle, John Gielgud, Donald Sutherland, Susan Clark, Frank Finley and Genevieve Bujold. Put these actors in a handsomly presented production design (quite incredible actually) and combine it with the intriguing and fast paced script and you have what (I would have to concur with the Post is the best Holmes movie ever put to film.
However, I must think Christopher Plummer is the best Sherlock ever. He brings so many textures and depth to his Sherlock, for once, making him a living, breathing man. In Private Life...Robert Stephens gives you a brilliant, heart-wrenching performance - at the point he realises he was been betrayed, and with no words he conveys SO MUCH it nearly tears you apart. Plummer gives you a similar heart-shredder, as he find Annie Crook in Bedlam, tortured, no longer sane, having retreated from the horrors around her and inflicted upon her, and in the following scene on the train ride back to London. In a masterpiece of blocking, you don't even see Holmes, you just his reflection in the train window while he talks about Annie. Compelling, heartbreaking, utterly BRILLIANT, demonstrating Plummer is one of the BEST actors ever to grace the screen.
The story line of Sherlock Holmes meeting Jack the Ripper was first explored by Ellery Queen novel. In it, Holmes identified the wrong person as the Ripper, hence the one Holmes story never published. It is brought to Queen and he must solved the 100 year old case. In Study in Scarlet, with John Neville as Holmes (another superior version, but cannot compare to Decree) the Ellery Queen beginning and end was dropped and the middle part of Holmes chasing Jack was turned into the movie in the 1960s. Neville is a marvellous actor, but pales by comparison to the virtuoso performance of Plummer. This version of the Ripper vs Holmes, follows the Stephen Knight book exposing the Annie Crook connection.Read more ›

Writing for Public Books, Max Holleran review Sylvie Tissot's Good Neighbors: Gentrifyinf Diversity in Boston's South End. Praising the books combination of political and cultural investigation, Holleran describes Tissot's powerful analysis of how wealthier 'newcomers' create strong communities of their own - and, in so doing, force out those who once called the neighborhood home.
October 1, 2015 — This past spring a new French restaurant opened in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn. Located on Malcolm X Boulevard, directly across the street from a Crown Fried Chicken, the restaurant—with a menu that includes frog legs and a bottle of Bordeaux that sells for $2,000—is an incongruous new addition to an area of Brooklyn where the median household income is below $35,000. It is named L'Antagoniste, ostensibly for its celebration of the contrarian French personalities pictured on its walls, but neighbors might interpret the name differently.
As chosen by Anthony Vidler, a Professor of Architecture and the Dean of the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture, Cooper Union, New York
A witty, incisive, critical, and brilliantly written invitation to see contemporary architecture and urbanism as a complex result of economic, political, and ideological forces that are hardly masked by the formal expressions of architects. This is criticism as we rarely read it, of the sort that Jane Jacobs and Lewis Mumford provided in an earlier era. These essays demonstrate that Sorkin goes well beyond his own advice, and that he adds something else for good measure: a deep and broad knowledge of architecture and cities, a love of both, and a profound belief in the role of architecture in constructing a just city.

STEUBENVILLE - While patrons of the Public Library of Steubenville and Jefferson County might expect to find resource books about breastfeeding geared to mothers, it might seem a bit more unusual to come across ones with children as the target audience.
But that's not the case now, thanks to a donation made to the library system by the Women, Infants and Children program, a division of the Jefferson County Health Department, in honor of August being National Breastfeeding Awareness Month.
Numerous copies of "Best Milk," "This Milk Tastes Good" and "The Mystery of the Breast" now available at library branches can help children understand an alternative to babies being bottle fed, according to Ashley Wilson, a registered nurse with WIC and an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant.

BOOKS?DONATED — Children's books geared to breastfeeding recently were donated to the Public Library of Steubenville and Jefferson County by the Women, Infants and Children program, a division of the Jefferson County Health Department, as part of National Breastfeeding Awareness Month. Looking them over were, from left, Misty Teasdale, the library system's children's services coordinator; breastfeeding mother Holly Parissi with 7-month-old daughter Anacelia Parissi; and Ashley Wilson, a registered nurse with WIC and an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant. -- Janice Kiaski
"They're geared toward the kids because it makes them more familiar with how mom is going to feed the baby," Wilson said of the books that can help big brothers and big sisters, for example, understand a natural feeding concept. "They're used to seeing bottles, but this is geared toward them because then they won't ask as many questions."
Misty Teasdale, the library system's children's services coordinator, said the library appreciates the unique donation.
"We have books geared toward the parent - the how-to's - but we don't have a lot geared toward the child. This is good," Teasdale said.
The library system's breastfeeding resource books are helpful, according to first-time mother Holly Parissi, a first-grade teacher at Wintersville Elementary. She and her husband, Ralph, Schiappa's branch manager, are the parents of 7-month-old Anacelia.
Holly said she opted for breast-feeding mostly because of the health benefits it provides. Breast milk contains immunities to diseases and assists in the development of the baby's immune system, according to a health department "Breastfeeding 101" sheet that lists 101 reasons to breastfeed.
"My husband works with the public, and I am a schoolteacher, so we're constantly coming home with colds, and I think the No. 1 benefits among the billions is that they (breastfed babies) get sick less quickly than bottle-fed babies," she said.
Breastfeeding resource books available at the library are appreciated, she said. "Being a new mom, it is a little nerve-wracking," she said of breastfeeding. "Something that seems so natural can be difficult at times, so it (library resources) helped me through a lot."
The WIC program provides breastfeeding education and support as part of its services.
During August, it is giving mothers water bottles that contain various items, including information about breastfeeding. It also is giving away nursing covers and breastfeeding blankets.
The giveaways are available during the health department hours Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., excluding the lunch hour from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
The health department and WIC are located on the seventh floor of the former Ohio Valley Towers building at 500 Market St., Steubenville. The telephone number is (740) 283-8530.
The theme for the month is "Keep Calm and Carry On Breastfeeding," a logo on T-shirts worn by WIC personnel on Tuesdays.

On April 18, 2011, the writer Peter Godwin wrote an article for the New York Times about Côte d'Ivoire and South Africa. Reading it awakened in me memories of the late 1970s when I was a Peace Corps director in Lesotho, a republic completely surrounded by South Africa. Before going to the posting, a Jesuit, Father D'Souza, introduced me to the president of Tanzania, Julius Nyerere, at a dinner in Nyerere's honor. Nyerere asked me what I was doing and I told him that I was just appointed to go to Lesotho as a Peace Corps director. Nyerere quickly made a request that echoes through the years: "You will be in the belly of the beast; please give them indigestion." I said that I would do my best.
I did that by getting to know Phyllis Naidoo and Kalechi Sello, both leaders in Lesotho of the African National Congress (ANC), the party of Mandela, whose first home was nearby in Xhosa country. My staff, some volunteers and I did what we could for the refugees flowing out of South Africa, many damaged by torture and long internments. Phyllis Naidoo and Father John, an Episcopalian priest, were blown up in Naidoo's modest home by a letter bomb planted inside some of the clothes for South African refugees in Lesotho. We continued to help where we could, which always made the US Ambassador uneasy. Chris Hani, the young and brilliant military leader of the ANC, could be seen from time to time in the store where many of us expats would get our newspapers in Maseru. South African forces would often blow up apartments while hunting for Hani and Naidoo. As it turned out, Mr. Hani was executed right after apartheid was overthrown when he went out to collect the daily newspaper.
I used vacation time and weekends to get a layman's Ph.D. in regional politics by traveling all over the southern African region. Due to some earlier work for the Freedom from Hunger Foundation, we had some money and sent it to the NGO Felimo (a fighting force that won the war of Mozambique's independence). As a result, I was invited by Sharfudine Khan, by now an official in the newly independent communist state of Mozambique, to be a guest of his government. I also spent time with the courageous lawyers of South Africa who defended the ANC, especially the barrister Denis Kuny. I spent time in Namibia and Zimbabwe before their names changed from South West Africa and Rhodesia. In Lesotho, one could hike across the country and be clothed, fed and housed by the Basotho. It was a productive time and a great posting for me. I eventually left that post to become the executive director of Amnesty International.
As executive director of Amnesty International, I got to meet Nelson Mandela in Houston at a Jimmy Carter/DeMille event in the early nineties. It was quite an honor. Along with Bill Graham, I got to produce a concert in Zimbabwe on the Human Rights Now Tour in 1988. We sold 70,000 seats. Bruce Springsteen rocked the joint as did Peter Gabriel with appropriate song "Biko." Mbeki, later to be prime minister of South Africa, was asked by Ted Koppel if this concert in Zimbabwe embarrassed him and the ANC. Mbeki's answer was of praise and admiration.
In his article, Peter Godwin's point is along the same lines as Nyere's advice to me all those years ago. In this case, it is Hillary Clinton who needs to give indigestion to Robert Mugabe, the prime minister of Zimbabwe. Recently, the African Union has called on the former prime minister of South Africa, Mr. Mbeki, to influence Zimbabwe to encourage Mugabe to take some control over the human rights abuses there as well as prevent the ongoing destruction of any of the hopes of its white minority farmers. Mbeki's role in Zimbabwe has been a profound failure on all fronts and for many years now.
When Mbeki was prime minister of South Africa, he kept to his own strange rules to help Mugabe stay in power. But Mbeki gave no help to Aung San Suu Kyi, the Mandela of Asia, who lives still under a brutal regime. Realizing this disconnect in behavior may shock some after so many people the world over helped to liberate South Africa of apartheid. The seeming obligation for a reciprocal extension of help to currently oppressed leaders like Aung San Suu Kyi does not seem to be felt by leaders of post-apartheid South Africa. South Africa thus joins China and Russia in this unholy alliance of indifference to the plight of Burma and others.
Peter Godwin calls for Secretary Clinton to pitch in and help Zimbabweans seeking human rights protection. An important meeting of African nations is to be held in May, 2011, and pressure must mount in order to give Mugabe indigestion at this meeting. Mugabe's record is a disaster. His people are suffering. He has driven a beautiful and majestic country into the ground in the name of liberation. He is one more leader who started off in the right direction and ended up in his own created swamp.
On the first day of liberation for Zimbabwe, I saw one of my friends off at the airport. He was finally going home after years in exile. He is a Shona, the largest tribe in Zimbabwe. I told him I would help him once in Zimbabwe if he had a partner from the Ndebele tribe to prove to me things would go well across tribal lines. My friend threw his things on the ground and simply said, 'never.'
Mugabe is a Shona and he gives the very same answer to any democratic effort. I hope that the meeting of Southern African nations to address the issues of Zimbabwe will bring a serious result. Right before they meet, all the representatives might ask to see all the parliamentarians in jail. Check to see how many people and politicians have been killed. Find out the count. Meet with victims of torture. Then go to the meeting and know when Mugabe comes into the room, the delegates will know his hidden baggage. He must not be treated as he has treated his own people. But he must be treated as a jailer instead of a liberator. The latter is a delusional dream of the past and the former is real and here and now.
The huge effort to rid South Africa of oppression must be reignited now for Zimbabwe. We need to turn our energy to cleaning up Zimbabwe from the many abuses of its own prime minister. Zimbabwe can be and should be a success story for Africa. Mugabe's abuses must be reversed.

Here are some other highlights and headlines that I noticed over at Ransom Notes Radio:
Israel is much better at killing terrorists than Hamas is at killing Israeli civilians… And just to drive this point home, here's your fun fact of the day: Over 100 missiles launched from Gaza, also landed in Gaza… The more you know.
A uniformed police officer was asked to leave an Ikea store because the location has a strict "no-guns" policy. I think this episode proves that police will not, in fact, arrest people for being stupid.
Apparently, Obama's Nobel Peace Prize isn't helping him calm the turmoil throughout the world. So, maybe an Emmy will help. Yeah, Barack Obama has officially been nominated for an Emmy. (Oddly enough, the nomination is not related to Obama's penchant for acting like Congress isn't necessary.)
Darrell Issa, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, has subpoenaed a White House aide. The White House has responded by claiming that the aide is immune from the subpoena because – well, because Obama said so. (It's unclear whether Obama said this using his pen, or his phone.)
The Feds are spending $50 million to (literally) purchase a resort hotel for illegal immigrant children who are coming across the border… Because nothing screams "welcome to America" quite like a government-funded stay at a resort hotel. (Oh yeah: our US Marine is still chained to a bed for accidently crossing the border into Mexico.)

Coca-Cola: A Digital Journey Of Online Discovery For Teens
Dogs doing a happy dance…ice cube slingshots…cats in boxes. They're just three of dozens of new experiences that come to life in "The AHH Effect," a new digital campaign from Coca-Cola, which kicks off today.
"The AHH Effect" is that multidimensional feeling of happiness, satisfaction and delicious refreshment one experiences after drinking an ice-cold Coke. It's been described as the sound a smile would make if smiles made sounds, and it's the centerpiece of a new teen-focused program from Coca-Cola. Bringing to life 61 dimensions of "AHH" through a range of digital experiences, from games and films to GIFs, the program showcases all of the qualities of Coke and positions the beverage as the ultimate refresher.
The campaign's 61 URLs are each home to an original experience. Beginning with http://www.ahh.com, each subsequent site includes one more "H" in its URL until reaching the maximum possible amount.

The "Koch-sperts" must have had a hand in the creation of the RNC Platform, because the list of ALEC-approved policies in the platform is stunning.
The Republican platform eviscerates the "hard working American," denying workers of their right to unionize while targeting vulnerable communities.

It's the little details that really affected me in "Perfect Nothing." Hunter brings us into a world obsessed with numbers--but numbers that are a sinister and deadly equation. Waist size, hip size, measurements...she shows us what it is like to perceive the world from the point of view with someone suffering from an eating disorder. Most of us have had moments where we've felt upset or embarrassed by our physical appearance--the protagonist of this story, however, is trapped in her own personal struggle, unable to perceive how her actions affect others at the beginning of the story.
Whereas some other stories about illnesses focus on the protagonist's fight alone, Hunter has the honesty and sincerity to also address how anorexia affects those who love the afflicted. It is not easy to read "Perfect Nothing" because it is so real and so painful at points but the conclusion of the story gives the reader hope for both the protagonist and others who have experienced this struggle. Although the message of this story is ostensibly about an eating disorder, I found a deeper meaning from it in considering my own self-image and the way that I myself have related to other people. An excellent read and highly recommended.
This is a must read.
It is impossible to read "Perfect Nothing" without tears streaming from your eyes, even if you have never had your own encounter with this disorder. Ms. Hunter's writing has such a natural flow to it that one would think the words come effortlessly to her. Yet, as an author myself, I know that is seldom the case with any writer. I find it amazing to see writing of this quality produced from the pen of one so young, so it's a safe bet that we have much yet to enjoy of Rachel's writing. In fact, I would not be surprised at all to see her name on the best-seller list in the not-too-distant future.

July 19, 2013
LOGAN, Utah - Utah State quarterback Chuckie Keeton has been named to the 2013 Walter Camp Player of the Year Watch List it was announced Friday by the Walter Camp Football Foundation and the National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA). The Walter Camp Award is the nation's fourth-oldest individual college football accolade.
In all, Keeton is one of just 50 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) players named to the Walter Camp Player of the Year Watch List, including one of 19 quarterbacks.
Overall, Keeton was one of just two Mountain West players named to the Walter Camp Player of the Year Watch List along with Fresno State quarterback Derek Carr, and one of just two players from the state of Utah recognized joining BYU linebacker Kyle Van Noy.
Other preseason honors for Keeton this summer include being one of 30 players named to the first edition of the 2013 Heismanpundit/CBSSports.com Heisman Trophy Watch List along with being named to the Maxwell Award Watch List, which is given annually to America's College Player of the Year and to the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award Watch List, which is presented annually to the nation's best college quarterback. He was also selected as an Athlon Sports preseason third-team all-Mountain West selection and a Phil Steele preseason fourth-team all-Mountain West selection, as well as one of 30 FBS quarterbacks named to the College Football Performance Awards Quarterbacks Watch List. In addition, Keeton is one of 115 candidates for the 2013 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team®.
Keeton, a 6-2, 200-pounder from Houston, Texas (Cypress Creek HS) earned first-team all-Western Athletic Conference honors in 2012 as he ranked third in the conference and 17th nationally in total offense (307.1 ypg), second in the WAC and 18th in the nation in passing efficiency (154.7), third in the WAC and 29th nationally in passing (259.5 ypg, and eighth in the conference in rushing (47.6 ypg). He finished the year completing 275-of-407 passes for 3,373 yards with 27 touchdowns and nine interceptions and rushed for 619 yards on 129 carries (4.8 ypc) with eight touchdowns. He finished his sophomore season by setting single-season school records for touchdown passes (27), passing yards (3,373), total offense (3,992), completions (275) and completion percentage (.676), while his 407 pass attempts rank seventh all-time at USU for a single-season. H was also named the WAC's Offensive Player of the Week four times during the season, becoming the first player in school history to accomplish that feat and the first WAC player to do so since 2010.
The Walter Camp Player of the Year Watch List will be narrowed to 10 semi-finalists in mid-November. The 2013 Walter Camp Player of the Year recipient, which is voted on by the 125 NCAA Bowl Subdivision head coaches and sports information directors, will be announced live on ESPN SportsCenter on Thursday, December 12. The winner will then receive his trophy at the Foundation's annual national awards banquet on January 11, 2014 at the Yale University Commons in New Haven.
Utah State returns 49 lettermen (offense-23, defense-22, specialists-4) and 18 starters (offense-8, defense-7, specialists-3) from its most successful team in school history as USU ended the 2012 season with a school-best 11-2 record as it set school records for wins (11) and home wins (6), while recording just its second bowl win in school history with a 41-15 victory against Toledo in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. USU also won its first outright conference championship since 1936, as it went 6-0 in the Western Athletic Conference, and just its third in school history joining the 1921 and 1936 teams that both won Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference titles.
Utah State ended the 2012 season nationally ranked for just the third time in school history as it finished the year ranked 16th in the Associated Press poll, 17th in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches' poll and 22nd in the Bowl Championship Series standings. USU also finished the 2012 season winning its final seven games, which is tied for the fourth-longest active winning streak in the nation and tied for the third-longest winning streak in school history.
Utah State will open the 2013 season on Thursday, Aug. 29 at Utah and play its first Mountain West game the following weekend at Air Force on Saturday, Sept. 7. USU's first home game of the 2013 campaign will be on Saturday, Sept. 14 against Weber State, while its first home Mountain West game will be on Saturday, Oct. 12 against Boise State.

About The Walter Camp Player of the Year Award
Walter Camp, "The Father of American football," first selected an All-America team in 1889. Camp - a former Yale University athlete and football coach - is also credited with developing play from scrimmage, set plays, the numerical assessment of goals and tries and the restriction of play to eleven men per side. The Walter Camp Football Foundation (www.waltercamp.org) - a New Haven-based all-volunteer group - was founded in 1967 to perpetuate the ideals of Camp and to continue the tradition of selecting annually an All-America team.

Historic China and Other Sketchesby Herbert Allen Giles
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
The following Sketches owe their existence chiefly to frequent peregrinations in Chinese cities, with pencil and note-book in hand. Some of them were written for my friend Mr. F. H. Balfour of Shanghai, and by him published in the columns of the Celestial Empire. These have been revised and partly re-written; others appear now for the first time. It seems to be generally believed that the Chinese, as a nation, are an immoral, degraded race; that they are utterly dishonest, cruel, and in every way depraved; that opium, a more terrible scourge than gin, is now working frightful ravages in their midst; and that only the forcible diffusion of Christianity can save the Empire from speedy and overwhelming ruin. An experience of eight years has taught me that, with all their faults, the Chinese are a hardworking, sober, and happy people, occupying an intermediate place between the wealth and culture, the vice and misery of the West.

<quoted text>Unfortunately I'm old enough to have lived through or should I say still tryin to get through the attempted murder of this country at the hands of the republicans. I know you don't want to hear this but after Bush. All these impeachable scandles going on now by your standards are so hypocritical that they are funny almost. They would be funny if your intent to ruin Obama wasn't driven by hate. I think we are far from out of the woods from the damage caused by Bush and if this country doesn't pull together. I don't know if we will ever recover. It's kinda like being lied to by someone you thought was your friend. You can forgive, but it would probaly serve you wise to never forget. I was hoping and are Glad that anyone but a republican is in the White House.
Maybe you can explain how the country is going to pull together while it is divided? Pipe dreams are called such, because they are.
I dont think the intent is ruin Obama, I think the intent is to cripple him and his followers to hell by focusing on 2014 and 2016.

We had a really nice night at the Rampsbeck. The hotel is lovely and in a gorgeous location. We were a little put off on arrival. Not sure they are used to people turning up on motorcycles and the receptionist seemed a bit sniffy - e.g. everyone in front of us at reception was offered help with their bags but we weren't. Staff even watched my husband struggling with heavy bags without offering to help. We had booked the Dinner, B&B package which included the "best available room". However, I can't believe that they were so full that the room we were given was the best available! I think we were given the basic room or even "worst available". There was nothing wrong with it and the bathroom was nice and big with a heated floor but the room itself was small, it had a very small window with a poor view.
However, the food was fantastic as was the service before, during and after the meal. (Even opening up the terrace and putting out warmed cushions so my husband could smoke after the meal.)
Similarly the breakfast was good as was the service.
My only comment on the service was that the same member of staff was there last thing at night in the bar and first in the morning for breakfast - this is a sign of a hotel that is not treating its staff well.
