JUDY WOODRUFF: He served just 24 days, the shortest tenure ever for a president's national security adviser.
Now Michael Flynn has been forced out, but the firestorm over his resignation has just begun.
John Yang reports on this day of turmoil.
JOHN YANG: President Trump knew since late last month that his Michael Flynn had misled the White House about his telephone conversation with the Russian ambassador.
SEAN SPICER, White House Press Secretary: We have been reviewing and evaluating this issue, with respect to General Flynn, on a daily basis for a few weeks, trying to ascertain the truth.
JOHN YANG: Press Secretary Sean Spicer said the warning came from acting Attorney General Sally Yates, based on an NSA phone intercept.
SEAN SPICER: The White House counsel informed the president immediately. The president asked them to conduct a review of whether there was a legal situation there. That was immediately determined that there wasn't. That was what the president believed at the time, what he had been told, and he was proved to be correct.
The issue, pure and simple, came down to a matter of trust, and the president concluded that he no longer had the trust of his national security adviser.
JOHN YANG: Flynn had denied publicly, and to vice president-elect Pence directly, that he had discussed U.S. sanctions with the Russian ambassador to the United States during the transition. It came out last week that he had.
Today, Spicer argued Flynn didn't break the law against private citizens conducting diplomacy.
SEAN SPICER: There is nothing that the general did that was a violation of any sort. He was well within his duties to discuss issues of common concern between the two countries. I will say it again: What this came down to is a matter of trust.
JOHN YANG: By last night, Spicer said, the president asked for Flynn's resignation.
Today, Mr. Trump ignored shouted questions about Flynn. Instead, he tweeted: "The real story here is, why are there so many illegal leaks coming out of Washington?"
SEAN SPICER: It's not just something that is plaguing the current situation, but it goes back to the Obama administration, the Bush administration, the Clinton administration. When we have government employees that are entrusted with this and then leak it out, that undermines our national security, frankly.
JOHN YANG: At the Capitol, House Speaker Paul Ryan agreed that Flynn had to go.
REP. PAUL RYAN, R-Wis., Speaker of the House: I think the president made the right decision to ask for his resignation. You cannot have a national security adviser misleading the vice president and others.
JOHN YANG: Ryan wouldn't say if he thinks an investigation is needed. House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz said: "The situation has taken care of itself."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said it's highly likely that the Senate will investigate.
SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL, R-Ky., Majority Leader: The Intelligence Committee is already looking at Russian involvement in our election. And they have broad jurisdiction over the intel community writ large. And they can look at whatever they choose to.
JOHN YANG: Top Democrats demanded an independent probe.
REP. ELIJAH CUMMINGS, D-Md.: Do you hear the silence? This is the sound of House Republicans conducting no oversight of President Trump. Zero. That is what it sounds like when they abdicate their duty under the Constitution.
SEN. CHUCK SCHUMER, D-N.Y., Minority Leader: There are potential violations of law here by General Flynn and potentially others. What I am calling for is an independent investigation with executive authority to pursue potential criminal actions.
JOHN YANG: In Moscow, the Kremlin called it an internal matter for the United States. But hard-line lawmakers like Alexei Pushkov said Flynn was the victim of a witch-hunt.
Mr. Trump named retired Army Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg as his acting national security adviser. He's served as chief of staff for the National Security Council and advised Mr. Trump during his campaign. The leading contenders for a permanent replacement are widely reported to include former Vice Admiral Robert Harward, a retired Navy SEAL, and former CIA Director and retired Army General David Petraeus. Petraeus is currently on probation for revealing classified intelligence to his mistress.
Spicer said the president did not know that Flynn had discussed U.S. sanctions with the ambassador until acting Attorney General Yates contacted the White House on January 26. Spicer stressed that Flynn's firing had nothing to do with the phone call itself — Judy.
JUDY WOODRUFF: So, John, there are so many threads to this story. Among other things, we're learning that the FBI interviewed General Flynn very shortly after the new administration took office.
What are the questions at the White House about — how are they answering these questions about why it took so long, from then until now, for this to unfold, to come out?
JOHN YANG: What they say is that this had been reviewed for weeks and that it only was in the last night that Mr. Trump decided to ask for his resignation.
It was also last night that The Washington Post reported this contact from the acting attorney general with the White House. The interview story you mentioned is from The New York Times. They quote current and former officials, unnamed, saying that they found Mr. Flynn to be less than forthcoming in these FBI interviews immediately after the inauguration.
If officials conclude that he deliberately lied to the FBI, that could lead to a felony charge.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And just quickly, John, how is the White House dealing with this overall?
JOHN YANG: They are — they came out today. They made a clean breast of it. They tried to be as forthcoming as they could in the briefing.
Sean Spicer stressed over and over again this was a matter of trust, that Flynn was doing his job as preparing to be national security adviser by talking to the ambassador. They said it should be no surprise that he was talking about issues of concern to both of them, but they are hoping that they can put this to rest.
JUDY WOODRUFF: John Yang at the White House, we thank you.
And at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, our Lisa Desjardins joins us for the latest from Capitol Hill.
So, Lisa, we heard a little about this already in John's report. But what are you picking up there? How are — especially the leadership in both parties, how are they reacting?
LISA DESJARDINS: The White House may want to put this to rest, but there's no signs of that happening at the Capitol yet, Judy.
There are two camps, especially among Senate Republicans. That's the place to watch. Some, like Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, say this should all be folded into an ongoing investigation already under way by the Senate Intelligence Committee. That's over Russian hacking and Russian manipulation of the elections. We know that will include now questions about General Flynn.
But that's only in private, Judy. Other Senate Republicans say this needs to have more light of day. They want public hearings, including a public hearing with General Flynn. That's a divide for Senate Republicans right now.
Meanwhile, some other Republicans say the real investigation up here should be into the leaks, not into Mr. Flynn. These are all issues swirling right now.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And, Lisa, what about the Democrats?
LISA DESJARDINS: Right. The Democrats came out strong today, as John reported.
Chuck Schumer, asking for this independent investigation, his folks told me that could include the FBI investigation under way, but only if new Attorney General Jeff Sessions recuses himself. That is a critical point for Democrats. Also, at the same time, they're asking questions about House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes.
He has generally been supportive of General Flynn, said he made a decision to resign. But he's not investigating. Some point out that Mr. Nunes was himself on the Trump transition team. I asked him about that, asked his office about that. They said he will follow all the leads that he can.
Meanwhile, Democrats also eager to point out that another national security issue arose with Republicans in the past couple of years when they investigated Hillary Clinton, a Democrat, and they see this as somewhat hypocritical.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Lisa Desjardins, so much to follow. Thank you very much.

The Leeds Library - Gems from the 1768 Collection
Event Information
Baretti vs. Sharp: a brisk paper on the state of Italy by Lucy Evans
In 1766 Samuel Sharp, distinguished surgeon, friend of Voltaire, published Letters from Italy, describing the customs and manners of that country in the years 1765, and 1766. A year later the second edition came to the outraged attention of Guiseppe Baretti.
Baretti, distinguished gentleman of letters, friend of Dr Johnson, objected strongly to Sharp's views and produced in retaliation 'An Account of the Manners and Customs of Italy', published in 1768 with a second edition in 1769, 'corrected, with notes and an appendix added, in answer to Samuel Sharp.'
Sharp countered again with 'A view of the customs, manners, drama,&. Of Italy, as they are described in the Frusta letteraria; and in the Account of Italy....written by Mr. Baretti: compared with the Letters from Italy, written by Mr. Sharp'.
Baretti, a man who never tired of a feud, finished the debate in 1768 with 'An Appendix to the Account of Italy In Answer to Samuel Sharpe, Esq.'.
Was this a knockout blow? The matter enthralled the contemporary literary world. The Leeds Library holds much of this 'brisk paper-war and even better an early reader has entered into the fray, adding their own partisan annotations to Baretti's 'Account of Italy'

Establishing an executive remuneration plan
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
1 Table of Contents
3.1Executive Remuneration Plans of Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW)
3.2 Recommended Remuneration Plan
This purpose of this report is to analyse and advice on how the executive remuneration plan of should be established for the new subsidiary of Sahrawi Autos Ltd (SA) in Germany.
The report starts off with a detailed analysis on the compensation system used in Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW), a company operating in a similar environment to SA.
The report will conclude with a final take on how the new subsidiary should plan its compensation on, taking into context the cultural and financial reporting environment in Germany.
3.1Executive Remuneration Plans of Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW)
Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW) places huge emphasis on designing remuneration systems that is consistent at different levels. Remuneration is designed to encourage a management approach focused on sustainable development and on the performance criteria. This refers to the nature of the tasks allocated to each member, the economic situation and the performance and future prospects of the BMW. It is noted that everyone at BMW should have a remuneration with a similar structure and components.
The compensation of the Board of Management comprises of a few components: basic salary, variable salary and retirement and surviving dependants' benefit entitlements.
The fixed remuneration starts with a fixed monthly salary. This fixed salary differs based on their seniority and period in office. BMW provides for variable remuneration whereby bonuses are given. The Supervisory Board derives bonuses by taking into account, on a multi-year assessment, the contribution of each member's ability to sustain and develop the company. This include various factors such as innovation, customer focus, ability to adapt, leadership accomplishments, contributions to the Company's attractiveness as an employer, progress in implementing the diversity concept and activities that foster corporate social responsibility as the basis for variable compensation (Bayerische Motoren Werke AG 2013). In addition to this, BMW provides a share-based remuneration programme, in which the amount is based on the bonus paid. This aims to create further long-term incentives to encourage sustainable governance as if shares are held for a minimum of four years, the members may receive additional stocks or cash equivalent.
On top of that, BMW provides the Board of Management with a myriad of benefits such as the use of company and lease cars, payment of insurance premiums, contributions towards security systems and an annual medical check-up. Members can also take advantage of privileges given to purchase vehicles and other services of BMW. Furthermore, members are provided with retirement and surviving dependants' benefits. The pension is based on the member's length of service to Company and board (for members appointed for the first time before 1 January 2010) or by amounts credited to individual savings accounts for contributions paid and interest earned.
The Supervisory Board has to ensure that the compensation components of the Board of Management compensation are appropriate, taking into account that the amount given should not encourage the Board of Management to take inappropriate risks for BMW but still attractive in the context of the competitive environment for highly qualified executives (Bayerische Motoren Werke AG 2013). The appropriateness of the compensation system is subjected to review by the Supervisory Board. External independents remuneration experts, investors and analysts are frequently consulted and constantly comparison to the compensation paid by other German publically listed companies are made to make sure that BMW's remuneration system is in line with its bid to create a fairer and sustainable compensation environment within the company.
3.2 Recommended Remuneration Plan
Germans are individualistic and likely to act in their own self-interest with disregard to others (The Hofstede Centre 2014). They gives rise to the assumption in the Watts and Zimmerman's Positive Accounting Theory (PAT) whereby all parties act in their own interest to maximise their own wealth (Watts & Zimmerman 1978). This is detrimental to the shareholders. However, as shareholders are not oblivious to this, they monitor the managers closely and engage in price protection, reducing their remuneration. Therefore, the management have an incentive to bond with shareholders to enter into management compensation contracts that rewards managers for behaviour beneficial to the shareholder and deterring them from engaging in behaviour detrimental to the shareholders' interests such that the interests of both manager and shareholders are aligned. Such rewards may come in the form of a fixed basis, of results achieved, or a combination of both.
However, due to such rewards, there are ways in which the management still can act opportunistically to maximise their wealth. This gives rise to the Bonus Plan Hypothesis in PAT whereby managers remunerated on the basis of bonus plans are more likely to use accounting methods that increase current reported income. This, coupled with the fact that Germany is highly competitive and results-oriented due to its masculine nature, managers might feel the need to show results so that they appear heroic and successful. By keeping the remuneration system as simple and transparent as possible, this prevents the manipulation of the financial accounts. If the accounting methods are complicated, it would be easy for managers to falsify the accounts. They would choose options that would increase profits and the rate of return on total assets, allowing them to gain from higher bonus pay.
Germany also has high uncertainty avoidance and small power distance. Uncertainty avoidant meant that the society feel uncomfortable with uncertainty and ambiguity (Deegan 2014). Small power distance meant the society demanded justification if power in institutions and organizations is unequal (The Hofstede Centre 2014). If executives receives a salary too high, this increases social tension. Therefore, salary and rewards had to be maintained at socially acceptable levels (Thannisch 2014). With a simple and proper remuneration system implemented, it is clear and easy for other company employees to accept the executive remuneration.
Hence, for Sahrawi Autos Ltd (SA), the new subsidiary can follow closely with the executive remuneration plans put in place by BMW. Compensation of the Board of Management can comprise of two main components: basic salary and variable salary. The fixed remuneration means a fixed monthly salary. Each member would be given a different starting pay, dependent on the length of office and their position held. As for the variable remuneration, SA can use a performance criteria to decide on the amount of bonuses one gets. However, one important point to note is that SA must make sure that the remuneration system is simple and transparent.
To conclude, SA should adopt a simple and transparent remuneration system built on a fixed and variable component for its new subsidiary.

US confirms al-Shabab leader Ahmed Godane killed
Saturday, 06 September 2014 - 9:12
The Pentagon has confirmed the leader of the Somali Islamist group al-Shabab, Ahmed Abdi Godane, was killed following a US attack earlier this week.
The US carried out air strikes on Monday night destroying a vehicle and an encampment south of the capital.
Somalia's president issued a statement on Friday urging militants to embrace peace after the death of their leader.
Godane was one of the US state department's most wanted men.
It had placed a bounty of 7 million dollars on his head.
Somali analyst Nuur Mohamud Sheekh told the BBC that Godane's death "will deal a major blow to the group. He added there was no likely successor.

His status as a tormented icon of the Romantic movement was confirmed when he took an overdose of arsenic in a fit of madness in his London garret at the age of 17.
For centuries, the 18th-century poet Thomas Chatterton was thought to have committed suicide to bring to an end his poverty-stricken existence as a failed artist. This view was based on the findings of an inquest shortly after his death in August 1770 in which it was revealed that he had died from arsenic poisoning.
Yesterday, it emerged that the mystique surrounding the death of the young poet may have had an altogether more carnal basis. New research indicates that Chatterton did not intend to kill himself and was in fact living a comfortable life from the proceeds of his poetry. An academic claims that Chatterton was taking arsenic as a cure for a sexually transmitted disease he had contracted and had accidentally confused the dose.
As a well-documented opium user, it is thought that he may have unwittingly created either a lethal concoction of drugs or simply used the wrong dose of arsenic.
Nick Groom of the Department of English at Bristol University, who conducted the research, re-examined all available evidence leading to the demise of Chatterton.
As well as the poet's works, he also examined accounts of his personality, two fake suicide notes, rumours surrounding his personal life and financial records.
His research was an attempt to piece together a rounded picture of a man who became a poster boy for the Romantic movement after his death.
Although he had moved to London only several months before his death to establish himself as a professional writer, Chatterton was not in a state of dire poverty as has been widely assumed. Dr Groom discovered that the reception of his poetry would not have given him sufficient cause to wish to terminate his life as he was in a good financial position from publishing his poems in several different journals. He also found that Chatterton was taking the drug that would eventually kill him as a cure for a sexually transmitted disease. The findings dispel the Romantic myth cast over his death by other poets in the aftermath of the overdose, said Dr Groom.
He said: "Reports into Chatterton's madness by Robert Southey and other Romantic poets were gradually exaggerated. While the case was briefly 'proved' by the discovery of suicide verses ... the case for accidental death has only ever had the facts to go on. These facts tell a different story of the death of Thomas Chatterton."

I tried one of Gene's centering tool on one of my motors and it fit and worked excellently. I had loaned out my original one and of coarse it never came back and I can't remember who I loaned it to. I keep a ledger of loaned tools, date and to whom but this time I put the date down the item, and forgot to put the persons name down so the information is worthless.
Mr. French,

I bought one in January and I already use it. Very useful and well done.
Thank you Gene!
Dave and Mario:
thanks for the comments ...this is a simple but useful tool for a task that is often ignored ...I have wondered how many "bad" timers were discarded due to this simple positioning issue and how many "improved" timers were designed and built to correct for the front cover alignment ? always an optimist...Gene French
Anyone who is assembling a motor without this centering tool has just lost money and could have years of poor performance. For $30 jump on it now while you can. I have an original and without this tool you just can't put on the front plate and tighten away without being off center. Being off center will throw off the function of your timer and no amount of coil adjustment will fix that, like a cat you will chase your own tail. Gene is correct about "improved" timers with springs to take up misalignment.
This is a screaming deal even if you only use it one time but now you own it and can help someone else. You just can't do this job any other way to center the front cover with gaskets that crush and the improper tightening sequence with no location for camshaft centering.

LiveLeak footage from 26 June 2012: Aftermath video of Syrian radar base on sea coast captured by foreign mercenaries - video ~ link ~ This was sent to me by a reader...thanks. It appears that sea coast radar stations are being targeted for electronic recon and also for attack. That is usually something you do just prior to a major attack. Stirling
Russia defiant as NATO supports Turkey on warplanes ~ link ~ NATO condemns Syria's shooting down of a Turkish military plane as 'unacceptable,' but stops short of raising any military response while Russia says Syria's downing of the jet should not be viewed as a provocation
Turkey vows to retaliate 'with determination' after warplane shooting ~ link ~ Ankara: Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday his government would retaliate "with determination" after its plane was downed by Syria in international airspace.
Turkey puts its border troops on 'red alert' ~ link ~ Turkey gives its troops on the Syrian border license to kill in case of any vioaliton as PM Erdoğan vows to treat any Syrian threat to the frontier as a military target
US Intelligence sees protracted conflict in Syria ~ link ~ There are two schools of though on this: One that events are unfolding rapidly and will come to a head in a week or two or so; The other view is that It could be September or even October. I tend to think that the shorter view is correct, however much of this view is based on the current flow of events. It is possible that the globalists/Netanyahu Zionists could draw out things for some reason or another, but right now the building up of events indicates sooner rather than later. Stirling
Assad: Syria witnessing real situation of war ~ link ~ There are two main outcomes of the current war: Either the 'west' (US/France/UK/Israel/GCC/Turkey) crosses the Syrian frontier by air and/or land and all hell fully breaks out; or if the war continues at a lower but still intense level, Assad and his people will finally reach a point where they will know that they are losing it and will see their tribe and families slaughtered and will soon not have the ability to hit back at the GCC states, Turkey, and Israel and western/NATO bases in the Middle East unless they use their missiles...at that point all hell fully breaks out. Stirling
"When we are in a war, all policies and
all sides and all sectors need to be directed at winning this war,"
Syria's state news agency SANA quoted Assad as saying at a meeting of
the new cabinet on Tuesday.
The Syrian government will continue to fight against "armed terrorist groups," he added.
The Syrian president also dismissed the West's arguments, saying the West "takes and never gives and this has been proven at every stage." "We want good relations with all countries but we must know where our interests lie," he added.
Members of Syria's new government under Prime Minister Riad Farid Hijab, who was appointed on June 6, were sworn in on Tuesday. The new government, with 20 new ministers and six new ministries, includes two opposition figures from the People's Will Party and the newly created Ministry of National Reconciliation.

The new government, with 20 new ministers and six new ministries, includes two opposition figures from the People's Will Party and the newly created Ministry of National Reconciliation.
The fighting came
the same day as a belligerent speech by Turkish Prime Minister Recep
Tayyip Erdogan before the Turkish parliament, threatening a military
response to any Syrian troop movements near the border of the two
countries. This followed a meeting of NATO members, including Turkey and
the US, to discuss a coordinated response to the downing of a Turkish
jet by Syria late last week.
IDF missile defense system for tanks being deployed ~ link ~ If this works as advertised, it is a 'game changer' on the ground. Stirling
The IDF has completed the installation of the Trophy active protection system on
a first brigade of Merkava MK 4 main battle tanks.
The system is
designed to detect and track a threat and counter it with a launched projectile
that intercepts the anti-tank missile. The army sped up development of the
Trophy following the Second Lebanon War, during which Merkava tanks came under
heavy anti-tank missile fire from Hezbollah.
The Russian war games began the same day President Obama and Russian
President Vladimir Putin held a frosty summit meeting in Mexico June 18.
World War III (2012): The Horrors - video ~ link
A look at a 21st Century American decaying city - with photos ~ link ~ This is what happens when the public allows themselves to become TV mesmerized Sheeple instead of taking back their country from the criminal elements (central bankers, Wall Street crooks, politicians). It is getting worse all the time now, and soon will become really really BAD but by then we will have WWIII to distract us. Stirling
On the eve of the EU Summit, EU at loggerheads as crisis spreads ~ link ~ The Rothschild plan is working as scheduled. Stirling
On the eve of a much anticipated European Union summit Thursday and
Friday, the European debt crisis has taken a turn for the worse, while
the major powers remain bitterly divided.
On Monday, Spain
formally requested the bailout for its banks of up to €100 billion ($125
billion) that had been informally agreed upon on June 6, and Cypress
officially asked for its own bailout, bringing the number of EU states
on life support to five. Cypress's resort to a bailout took on added
symbolic significance because the country will assume the rotating EU
presidency on July 1.
The conservative
New Democracy (ND) had the highest vote total at just 29.6 percent, but
because of the undemocratic electoral system it was awarded 129 of the
300 parliamentary seats. Although a coalition with the social democratic
PASOK would have been enough to form a government, the new Prime
Minister Andonis Samaras decided to include the small Democratic Left
(DIMAR) in the government.
The American Delusion of Constitutional Rights ~ link ~ Americans have long labored under the delusion that they have certain rights protected by a piece of paper called the U.S. Constitution, which is enshrined in The D.C. (Den of Corruption). Sadly, they are mistaken.
Americans are increasingly finding out that they are allowed
certain freedoms and liberties–whatever freedoms five guys in robes
sitting in that same D.C. decide to grant them. That then is the extent
of American Constitutional "rights."
Confrontation with TSA Agent leaves Grandpa's ashes on floor as TSA Agent laughs about it ~ link ~ You simply cannot make this crap up! Stirling
Egypt's new president works toward unity government ~ link ~ Dina Zakariya, a Morsi campaign spokeswoman,
said the only way forward is to create a national unity government that
represents all political forces and all Egyptians.
"The country lived for so long in corruption.
No single party can take full responsibility" for tackling the nation's
problems, she said, adding that Morsi is serious about appointing a
Christian and a woman as vice presidents and including a range of
political factions in the Cabinet.
Junta must go, Egyptians say ~ link ~ Thousands of Egyptians
have kept up their protest at Cairo's Tahrir Square to call on the
ruling generals of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) to
relinquish power, Press TV reports.
The protesters, who have been on Tahrir Square since Tuesday, are also calling for the reinstatement of the parliament, which was dissolved by SCAF on June 16 following an earlier Supreme Court ruling. They also demand that President-elect Mohamed Morsi be granted full powers.
Under a constitutional declaration issued late on June 17, the junta took control of the state budget and gave itself veto power over a new constitution, making the new president almost powerless.

Import or die: Taiwan's (Un)Stalled Force Modernization ~ link ~ Despite China's ominous military buildup across the strait, key weapons sales of P-3 maritime patrol aircraft, Patriot PAC-3 missiles, and diesel-electric submarines to Taiwan had been sabotaged by Taiwanese politics for years – in some cases, since 1997. The KMT party's flip-flops and determined stalling tactics eventually created a crisis in US-Taiwan relations, which finally soured to the point that the USA refused a Taiwanese request for F-16C/D aircraft.
That seems to have brought things to a head. Most of the budget and
political issues were eventually sorted out, and after a long delay,
some major elements of Taiwan's requested modernization program appear
to be moving forward: P-3 maritime patrol aircraft, UH-60M helicopters,
Patriot missile upgrades; and requests for AH-64D attack helicopters,
E-2 Hawkeye AWACS planes, minehunting ships, and missiles for defense
against aircraft, ships, and tanks. These are must-have capabilities
when facing a Chinese government that has vowed to take the country by
force, and which is building an extensive submarine fleet, a large array
of ballistic missiles, an upgraded fighter fleet, and a number of
amphibious-capable divisions. Chinese pressure continues to stall some
of Taiwan's most important upgrades, including diesel-electric
submarines, and new American fighter jets. Meanwhile, other purchases
from abroad continue…
Research: Gulf shrimp widely contaminated with carcinogens ~ link ~ Sadly, it is simply NOT SAFE to eat anything out of the Gulf of Mexico since the deliberate globalist depopulation event known as the BP Oil Disaster. Stirling
Conservative estimates indicate that the 2010 BP oil disaster
released over 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf, followed by at
least 1.8 million gallons of dispersants.
While the use of dispersants helped mitigate the public relations
disaster by preventing the persistent formation of surface oil, as well
as keeping many beaches visibly untouched, they also drove the oil
deeper into the water column (and food chain) rendering a 2-dimensional
problem (surface oil) into a 3-dimensional one. Additionally, research
indicates that dispersants prevent the biodegradation of toxic oil components, as well as increasing dispersant absorption into fish from between 6 to 1100 fold higher levels.
Since the event, both the mainstream media and the government have
acted as if the oil disappeared, and that no significant health risks
remain for the millions still consuming contaminated seafood from the
Second boat sinks off Christmas Island ~ link ~ A boat carrying an
estimated 150 people has capsized north of Christmas Island, Australian
officials say, a week after an asylum-seeker boat sank in the area.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) said the boat sent a distress call early on Wednesday.
Pair of metal detector friends discover 3/4 of a ton of Iron Age coins worth £ 10 million UK pounds ~ link ~ The two amateur metal detectors kept up their search of the same area
throughout the decades and have finally struck gold – or rather silver.
have unearthed the largest hoard of Celtic coins ever found. Each one
of the 30,000–50,000 coins is estimated to be worth around £200 each,
putting the value of the haul at up to £10milion.

Sergeant Chris Duke didn't expect anything in return when he befriended three stray dogs while serving in Afghanistan. Sasha, Rufus and Target, as he called them, were taken in by Duke and the other soldiers living in his barracks. Duke explains that, "a lot of us used the three of 'em as a kind of escape, ya know, whenever you're homesick." Little did he know that these three dogs would provide them with a lot more than just the comforts of home.
This isn't the first time in history that animals have stepped up and responded to the call of duty. Have you ever heard of Wojtek, the brown bear who served as a Corporal in the Polish army during World War II?
Wojtek famously fought in the Battle of Monte Cassino, where he transported crates of ammunition to soldiers. While they may not have achieved as high a ranking as Wojtek, these three dogs are shining examples of how animals are willing to do whatever it takes to protect those who care for them.

Shenango pottery, or china, was made between 1902 and 1961 in New Castle, Pennsylvania. As the Shenango company experienced financial problems throughout its history, the china was produced by various companies. In addition, Shenango used several names for the china, making identifying the pottery marks and their age somewhat difficult. There are a few ways to identify the age of the Shenango pottery marks.
Step 1
Turn the piece over to view the maker's mark. Items with the words "Shenango China New Castle PA" were likely produced between 1902 and 1948. Although many items during this time were not dated, some pieces will have a date code with the month and year of manufacture. For instance, the code 8-45 means the item was manufactured in August 1945.
Step 2
Identify items with the words "Castleton China," which signify china items produced between 1940 and 1968 by Shenango. The Shenango company also made china for the Theodore Haviland Co., marked "Theodore Haviland New York made in America," from 1936 to 1958.
Step 3
Look for the words "Shenango China" and a date, which usually indicate Shenango china produced after 1950. Pieces produced after 1950 had a date code with a letter and a number. Websites such as the one for the Restaurant Ware Collectors Network offer charts with dates that correspond to the codes.
Step 4
Find Shenango china pieces with the words "Anchor Hocking" on the piece, which were made after 1979, when the company was bought out by Anchor Hocking.
Step 5
Look up other Shenango china marks in a reference book to correctly identify specifics, as many different marks were used on the china over time, including "Epicure," "Interpace," "Peter Terris" and "IncaWare." An example of a reference book is "Pictorial Guide to Pottery and Porcelain Marks" by Chad Lage, which can be purchased at most bookstores, online or borrowed from a local library.

BRIEF-Moody's says robust growth and prudent fiscal policy support credit profile of germany
* robust growth and prudent fiscal policy support credit profile of Germany
* Ten-year futures hit intraday one-week high, eye stocks
* Fed minutes awaited for clues on U.S. stimulus steps
By Lisa Twaronite
TOKYO, Aug 21 Japanese government bonds rose on Wednesday, with the benchmark yield touching a three-month low at one point, as investors awaited the minutes of the U.S. Federal Reserve's July policy meeting for clues to the timing of U.S. stimulus reduction.
Weaker U.S. debt prices tend to weigh on JGB market sentiment, although the two debt markets have not moved in tandem recently due to diverging expectations of their respective countries' monetary policies.
The Bank of Japan has pledged to maintain its easy policy to hit its target of two percent inflation within two years, while the Fed is expected to begin reducing its stimulus as early next month.
"The decline in risk premium, I think, is the main reason behind the decline in (JGB) yield in the past month or so," said Le Ngoc Nhan, a strategist at Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities in Tokyo.
"Volatility is declining, so that means people are more comfortable going long," he said.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year JGB gave up one basis point to 0.730 percent after earlier dropping as low as 0.720 percent, its lowest since May 10. It was as high as 0.745 percent in the morning session.
Ten-year JGB futures ended up 0.13 point at 144.12, after earlier rising from a session low of 143.97 to a one-week high of 144.23. Volume of 17,936 contracts was relatively light, dropping from the previous session.
The 30-day implied volatilities on JGB futures sank to 2.88 as of Tuesday, from 3.14 on Monday. The latest data will be available later on Wednesday. Volatility is down from a two-year peak of 6.1 hit on April 12, in the wake of the BOJ's radical easing scheme unveiled on April 4.
BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said he would not hesitate to provide further monetary stimulus if downside risks from a planned sales tax hike or overseas economies increase, according to an interview in the Mainichi newspaper on Wednesday.
Earlier in the session, the 10-year yield rose to its high as a stronger yen and concerns about emerging markets helped push stocks into negative territory. The Nikkei stock average ended up 0.2 percent. The dollar also turned higher against its Japanese counterpart, erasing earlier losses to buy 97.55 yen.
"JGBs were mostly flat, but got a little lift as stocks suddenly turned lower, but moves are limited as everyone waits for fresh trading factors," said a fixed-income fund manager at a European asset management firm in Tokyo.
According to International Financing Review, a Thomson Reuters publication, a few corporate pension funds, which have been underweight JGBs, were forced to buy seven-year to 10-year notes in thin trading, as Tokyo stocks remained fragile
In recent sessions, equity markets as well as emerging markets currencies have been pressured by fears that the Fed's looming stimulus reduction will draw more capital out of Asia.
The BOJ's regular operations also lent support to the JGB market, with the central bank offering to buy outright up to 450 billion yen of JGBs with residual maturity of between five and 10 years, and an additional 200 billion yen of JGBs maturing in more than 10 years.

Has this project been discontinued? This may have been already mentioned, but can you please have the default shortcut get its source address from the actual app/folder location? and not the icon location. I wanted a clean screen, so moved everything to a single folder, only to find the icons/links didn't work as they still had the original icon location. Otherwise 5 stars.
It's better than xlaunchpad. very good! but When I hold on left mouse button, It works right button on windows tab So I can't move icons. Please make move icons button
Only been using it for a couple days now but I like it a lot. I've used a lot of other docks like Nexus, Rocketdock, Objectdock and while they are all fine i found them to be annoying sometimes. I'd find myself accidentally activating the dock while pointing my mouse near it and it getting in the way sometimes. Really like the activation methods with Winlaunch especially the middle mouse click. however the double mouse click did not work for me. 4 stars because I think it is very good with potential to be even better. Seems a little light on customization features overall but it does what its supposed to and I plan on putting it on my other computers.

Extracurricular participation makes a difference
April 9, 2012
Dear SAISD Staff,
Much has been said about the importance extracurricular activities play in the lives of students and the positive impact of these offerings, whether they are athletic, arts or academic programs.
These types of activities provide our students with valuable lessons that cannot necessarily be taught in the traditional classroom. By participating in extracurricular activities, students acquire the kinds of "soft skills" that prospective employers are looking for, including work ethic, punctuality, teamwork, problem-solving and commitment, among others.
Today, I want to make the case for athletics. When school districts look at budget cuts, it seems as though the first area that critics of sports go after is the athletic budget, football in particular. Did you know that the budgeted expenses this year for all extracurricular activities in Texas makes up just 2.9 percent of total operating costs? That's for all the state's school districts combined.
In SAISD, about 2.5 percent of the budgeted general fund expenditures this year are for extracurricular activities. To put that into perspective, salaries and benefits for all employees make up about 85 percent of the district's total operating budget. So, as you can see, the investment in extracurricular activities is nominal for the return.
There are numerous studies that analyze the benefits of student participation in the arts and athletics. One study, with athletics as its focus, is by Dr. Roger Whitley in North Carolina, conducted in collaboration with the North Carolina High School Athletic Association. Here are some statistics that revealed the differences between student athletes and non-athletes in a number of areas.
Athletes |
Non-athletes |
Grade-point average |
2.83 - 2.91 |
1.84 - 2.03 (3-year range) |
Absences |
6.52 days |
12.57 days |
Discipline referrals |
30.5% |
40.3% |
Dropout rate |
.7% |
8.98% |
Graduation rate |
99.56% |
94.66% |
Note: Data represent a three-year average
The study did have limitations. Participation was voluntary, and it did not deal with cause and effect. However, according to Whitley, "The research shows that participation in athletics serves as a possible motivational factor for students." He further states that there is a direct relationship between participation in athletics and academic success.
This study, combined with others, and the positive impact I have seen extracurricular activities have on students' lives lead me to say let's continue to support our students in their respective activities. Show them that, at the very least, you know they are involved.
Our students are involved in ways that bring our community together – to cheer from the bleachers at a football game, stand in ovation at a drama production or offer high-fives at academic events. Together, we are watching as our students are molded into leaders.
Best Regards,
Dr. Sylvester Perez
Interim Superintendent
